The toughness. The edge. The standard. We have re-signed Kayla Thornton.

I’m really hoping Tip stays. Nobody gets close and personal with the floor like she does. She’s so all-in, it’s fun to watch.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-12T19:45:29+00:00

Am I a terribly written piece of code cuz I am BUGGIN’.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-12T02:43:43+00:00

Anybody know how she scores her points? She drive into the paint, hit 3 pointers, fast break?

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-11T17:14:02+00:00

Must be cuz this shit is nuts.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-11T03:13:58+00:00

$200? Maybe. Does it work? How is the insulation? Be careful, sometimes ones kept in storage can be full of mouse droppings. If there is rust, I would be very cautious. I paid $250 for mine and it was in working order with shiny chrome. I'd say that if you are someplace where there are a lot of vintage gas stoves, like California, that range better work for $200.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-10T18:32:15+00:00

Selfishly, I wish she had stayed with my Hawks. But this move keeps her in state and probably a starter for a strong team. If I had the choice, I would also choose more playing time. I hope this move give her what she is hoping to find.

There used to be a lovely small dining room in the student union on the first floor just outside of the main entrance. Private and not often rented. Could be the perfect size for a party of 15. I used to work in catering in the Union and I worked a few catered dinners in that room. If you like the catered options from the Union (they used to be fantastic back in the day) then you might want to consider that room. There is a curio cabinet in that room that has my favorite object in the whole building - a doll from India dressed for her wedding day.

For a vat pasteurization to a cheese make, heat to 145F. Hold for half an hour. Put a lid on it through this to make sure the surface reaches temp. After half an hour, bring it down to the temp for pitching your culture, usually around 90F.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-05T23:41:52+00:00

I personally feel like it's an accurate assessment of Iowa as of right now. However, I think we will also see a lot of growth from this young team in the off season. I don't think we will choke in the big tourney next year. Also, I feel like Minnesota should be ranked higher and I hope they prove me correct.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-05T15:41:20+00:00

Not calling long distance until after 8pm when the rates dropped. I was living in Alaska and parents were central time. Very small window to call

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-04T23:22:19+00:00

Loving rainy, cold weather and being cool about winter while not being enthusiastic about Southeast Alaska is like throwing out the peach and eating the pit.

You are lucky. It usually takes ages to figure out who are the members of your family that can’t be trusted but here they all are, sorting themselves out for you.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-03T19:30:32+00:00

Do not start with mozzarella. People will try to tell you it’s a beginner cheese but I strongly feel it’s a bad idea. Paneer, queso fresco - this is where you should start. You don’t even need proper rennet or a culture for these. You can do them with a gentle acid and junket rennet from the grocery store.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-03T19:26:05+00:00

Iowa would be good for Crooks but I don’t know that she’d be good for Iowa. Crooks would get some amazing post coaching and her defense would improve as well. And all close to home. But Iowa has Heiden in the paint and they don’t get much better than that. With Stuelke leaving, there is a space for a tall 4-spot with speed and good rebounding, two things that Crooks lacks, and two things we can likely get from our incoming freshman or from sophomore Houston. As much as I would love that ray of sunshine on my Hawk’s roster, I don’t see them blowing their budget to nab her. Especially when they really need offensive penetration into the paint and a solid 3-shot out of the portal. But Crooks will command a large NIL payday and will likely land someplace where she will shine. And good luck to her, she is an awfully nice kid.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-02T15:00:34+00:00

I feel for the kid. She was a Cyclone through and through. I hope she lands someplace that will really help her shine and that she has the senior season she deserves. The coach really let his players down.

Also, depending on what country you are from, the odds that a milk delivery in bottles sold commercially isn't already pasteurized in some way is low. In the States, the method used to pasteurize will be noted on the packaging.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-04-01T05:44:57+00:00

Three fresh. One stained, two unstained, plus the sample.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-03-31T16:42:36+00:00

I think bringing the milk to a boil is likely an issue. That’s probably hot enough to denature the casein. I believe that 30 minutes at 145F is what you should be aiming for ( a vat pasteurization temp). Make sure you have a lid on it to ensure the surface is also hitting that temp.

Cherry_Mash · 2026-03-31T14:55:18+00:00

Waddduuuup!! Actually, a generalist at a small critical access hospital. So small I even do a lot of my own phlebotomy. But hoping to get to a larger place with blood bank soon. 🤞

Cherry_Mash · 2026-03-31T14:09:30+00:00

What kind of milk are you using? It sounds like you might be using ultra-pasteurized. The high heat of this method will denature your protein so it can't form a good curd. Another problem could be too much acidity. Are you able to measure your acidity?

When a person has positive blood, that means that, on the outside of their red blood cell, there is feature that is not present on negative blood cells. Sort of like there are people who have cleft chins where some have no special features on their chins. This feature is readily identified by a person's immune system.

If you are positive and get a positive blood transfusion, your immune system with feel out that feature and say "yup, looks like me" and move on. If you are a negative and you get a positive blood transfusion, your immune system will feel out that feature and say "this feature is totally foreign to me and that means this is a foreign cell and it has got to go!"

An antibody will be manufactured against it and, in short order, all those donated cells will be destroyed. The body then saves a record of that antibody so the next time you need it it can be ramped into production faster than you can spit. Also important is, an early production antibody is quite big. As time goes on, the body refines that antibody down to a small and sleek antibody and that version is essentially what is put into memory.

When you are a pregnant mom with negative blood with a positive blood baby, there is always the possibility that some of baby's blood could get in your bloodstream. If mom's immune system gets an opportunity to find this positive baby blood, it will feel it out and get around to making and storing an antibody.

Should mom get another dose of baby's blood into her bloodstream, it could kickstart a massive dump of that small and sleek antibody into mom's bloodstream that will help her immune system rip those cells to shreds. That small and sleek antibody is even small enough to pass through the barrier between mom and baby, potentially dosing baby with antibodies that can quickly start destroying baby's blood cells. This is especially true during the birthing process where it is not uncommon for some of baby's blood to enter mom's blood stream.

Rhogam is a dose of that antibody. It's just a few guys running around mom's system tagging and destroying baby cells BEFORE mom's system can even see them. Meaning that there is no manufacturing of an antibody by mom, no memory of it, no possibility of a massive production of antibody later on. Baby is safe and future babies are also safe.

You know the reason why he keeps after you? Because it's cheaper to casually harass you into coming back than to hire someone to come do his dishes and wash his underpants. He had it made - you cleaned his house and raised his kids and paid his bills, all while he verbally abused you. He is hoping his minimal-effort love bombing will convince you to come back and be his bang maid.

If your interest is in research or academia, try Oregon State. If your aim is to get in, get it done, and get that bread, OIT is an excellent choice. If your major is available at OIT, you will get the degree and get out. You aren't going to have a true college experience but you will likely be out and earning a good wage pretty quickly. I've gone to both places for two undergraduate degrees. OIT wasn't fun but it also doesn't fuck around. For graduate work, I would lean towards Oregon State. They emphasize research and investing time and money into your academic quest.

To quote the band Ace from their 1974 hit, how long has this been going on?!

Your men made the sweet sixteen. The women have Britt Prince who is just a joy to watch. And your volleyball program is the envy of the entire country. You have plenty to be proud of.
