dashasprinkles asked: Beet, pomegranate and blueberry, is that all you put in your smoothie? Any liquids? I'm dying to make it. thx :)

Generally you can use milk, almond/soy milk, yogurt or water. I’m pretty sure I used Chobani yogurt for that smoothie.

Fried bull balls, elk meat, edible marijuana?

According to Wikipedia…

“To promote the ruggedness of its typewriters, George Edward Smith, president of Royal bought a Ford-Stout tri-motor airplane in August 1927. This plane, commonly called the Royal Airtruck, dropped over 200 typewriters in crates with parachutes to dealers over the eastern seaboard of the USA on its maiden flight. Royal eventually delivered over 11,000 this way with only 10 being damaged.”

I once broke an HP printer by flying it to Istanbul in my luggage.

I’m just saying…

Beet, pomegranate, blueberry smoothie. I don’t know whether to drink it or start painting.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

I downloaded the owner’s manual from Machines of Loving Grace.  Yay!

My 1948 Royal Quiet DeLuxe. I bought this typewriter 12 years ago and it is one of my most valued possessions. It’s intricacy, machining and design are sublime.

In my first three years at Rutgers, the years preceding Greg Schiano’s arrival, the team won exactly one game.  Nobody went to games and it went without saying that other regional powers like Syracuse and Pittsburgh would routinely beat us.  When I was a sophomore Donovan McNabb put up more than 70 points in the Rutgers defense.

Schiano changed all of that.  I was at the Cook Campus Center more than ten years ago when athletic director Bob Mulcahey introduced coach Greg Schiano. He talked about making New  Jersey the “State of Rutgers.”  The new coach immediately went on a charm offensive to change the culture of the school and the football program.  He recruited well, getting home grown talent to play for the state school.  Within a few years the school was starting to win its share of games.  In 2005 Rutgers made its first bowl game since the 1970s.  In 2006 the team cracked the top 25.  After Rutgers beat #3 Louisville and was ranked as high as 7th in the nation, the Empire State Building was lit up Rutgers scarlet.  I lived in Manhattan at the time and when I saw that Rutgers had gotten New York City’s attention, I was never more proud to have been an RU alum.  Rutgers now regularly runs a winning record and goes to bowl games.  Twice the team has been within a victory of a Big East Title and BCS berth.

So thank you, Coach Schiano.  You’ve made New Jersey relevant in college sports again.  I understand that coaching an NFL team is probably a dream of yours and I wish you success.  I’m sorry to see you go and I don’t think the team will be the same without you.

Giants! Giants! Giants!
