++ "GO HAWKS! to Super Bowl XLIX -- Part 2/2" ++
Last week's and tonight's Friday Insomniac Nets are for both football Superbowl fans and non-fans.
As many of you know, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are in Phoenix, Arizona for the NFL Super Bowl XLIX (49).
Probably just as many -- if not more -- could care less about any more football or another Super Bowl.
Once again, we have provided you a choice of two Questions Sets (QS1 & QS2) -- both with the same Answers.
So depending on your fondness (or not) for the Super Bowl on Feb 1, YOU can pick which Question Set you want to answer.
(Again, regardless of the Questions Set you answer, the correct answers will be the same for either Question Set.)
However, we will only read the Question Set (QS1) about the Seattle Seahawks going to the Super Bowl ("GO HAWKS!").
The other Question Set (QS2) about Making Crock Pot Yogurt is given below -- after the 1st Quote of the Day listing.

A. "Sky Hawk", or
B. "(Clap of) Thunder", or
C. "Go Hawks!"
The
newest member of the Seahawks family is Taima the Hawk.
Named by Seahawks fans, Taima (which means "thunder")
is quickly becoming a fixture of Seahawks Sundays at CenturyLink Field.
Since 2007 Taima has been the first one out of the tunnel leading the
team on to the field before each home game. [from: Taima
the Hawk - Seattle Seahawks]
Found everywhere on Baby Name websites and in Baby Name books, Taima is often cited as a name derived from Native Americans -- but, you'd better think twice.
According to: Native American Names That Don't Have The Meaning They're Supposed To:
"...TAIMA: Baby name books claim this name means "loud thunder" or "clap of thunder" in Blackfoot or Navajo, or in some unspecified Native American language. It certainly does not have this meaning in Blackfoot or Navajo, and we are unaware of any other Native American language in which it does. However, there was a historical figure from the Meskwaki Indian tribe whose name in English was spelled Chief Tama or Chief Taimah (shortened from his Meskwaki name, Te:wame:ha.) Although this is not the Meskwaki word for "thunder" (which is nenemehki), Chief Tama did belong to the Thunder Clan, so perhaps he is the origin of this name. Another possibility is that Wikipedia claims the word "taima" means "crash of thunder" in the Icelandic language (a Germanic language related to Norwegian.)"

#2: According to the Smithsonian Institute, there is no such bird
known as a "Seahawk"

A. True, or
B. False, or
C. "Go Hawks!"
You love wildlife. You have
absolutely
no interest in
football. Yet, due to the idiosyncrasies of American culture, you're
inevitably forced to watch exactly one football game per year: the
Super Bowl.
Take heart. This year's game features two teams with animal mascots. Two rather charismatic animals, in fact. We've got you covered with 14 fun facts scientists have learned about each of them. Feel free to toss them out during a lull in the game's action.
1. There's no such thing as a "seahawk."
The Seattle franchise might spell it as one word, but biologists don't. In fact, they don't even use the term to refer to one particular species.
You could use the name sea hawk to refer to an osprey (pictured above) or a skua (itself a term that covers a group of seven related species of seabirds). Both groups share a number of characteristics, including a fish-based diet.
2. The Seattle Seahawks' "seahawk" isn't actually a sea hawk.
Before every home game, the team releases a trained bird named Taima to fly out of the tunnel before the players, lead them onto the field and get the crowd jazzed up for the game. But the nine-year-old bird is an augur hawk (also known as an augur buzzard), native to Africa, not a seafaring species that can properly be called a sea hawk.
David Knutson, the falconer who trained Taima, originally wanted an osprey for authenticity's sake, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service prohibited him from using a native bird for commercial purposes. Instead, he ordered an augur hawk hatchling—which has markings roughly similar to an osprey—from St. Louis' World Bird Sanctuary and trained it to deal with the noise and chaos of a raucous football game.

Question
#3: Opened
in 2002, CenturyLink
Field -- the Seattle Seahawks' home stadium -- doesn't use
real grass, painted dirt, or "AstroTurf®", but an artificial turf
covering called "FieldTurf" -- True or False?Take heart. This year's game features two teams with animal mascots. Two rather charismatic animals, in fact.

2nd Choice:
(2012) The
Seattle Seahawks and Sounders FC announced today they will install a new
FieldTurf Revolution artificial grass surface at CenturyLink Field in
early February 2012.
“The FieldTurf product that was installed in 2008 has performed well especially considering the increase in stadium events, specifically soccer matches and concerts,” said Seahawks Sounders FC and FGI president Peter McLoughlin. “The new field will offer the field maintenance crew an outstanding and extremely durable product to meet the requirements of each event.”
The two organizations have a long history with FieldTurf. In 2000, when the Seahawks played at the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium, they became the first NFL team to play their home games on FieldTurf. The partnership continued at the Seahawks Stadium, now CenturyLink Field, and at the team training facilities.

Questions Sets (QS2): ++ "Making Crock Pot Yogurt" ++
You can make natural,
homemade yogurt with a gallon of milk, a crock pot,
"yogurt starter", and a few other inexpensive items.
Within a day, you will be enjoying the delicious taste of your very own homemade, crock pot yogurt.

A. The amount of "yogurt starter" you add, or
B. The amount of time you strain off the whey (the natural liquid by-product when making yogurt or cheese) , or
C. All right, I give up -- "Go Hawks!"
The important thing to remember about
homemade yogurt is that if you want to make it thicker, the whey needs
to be strained from the yogurt . The more whey that is removed from the
yogurt the firmer the final product. In fact if you strain off most of
the whey from yogurt, you’ll end up with a delicious soft cheese known
as “yogurt cheese”.
It takes about 2 hours of draining to make a thick natural yogurt, and about 3 or 4 hours to make Greek style yogurt. Once the yogurt is the thickness that I want, I lift the cheesecloth from the colander and carefully dump the yogurt into a covered dish or large container. [SOURCE: Listed below]
Question
#2: Although
you slowly heat the milk in the crock pot until it's between
180°F-190°F (to kill all the bacteria -- good and bad), you must cool
it for several hours until the milk is at 110°F before adding the
"yogurt starter" (i.e., the good bacteria) -- True or False?It takes about 2 hours of draining to make a thick natural yogurt, and about 3 or 4 hours to make Greek style yogurt. Once the yogurt is the thickness that I want, I lift the cheesecloth from the colander and carefully dump the yogurt into a covered dish or large container. [SOURCE: Listed below]
A. True, or
B. False, or
C. All right, I give up -- "Go Hawks!"
Place the gallon of milk into the crock pot and cover. Heat the milk
slowly until the milk is between 180°F – 190°F. It is vital to heat the
milk to at least 180°F.
The milk must be made sterile and free from all types of bacteria. The only bacteria you want growing in the milk will be the lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophiles that you will purposely add when you inoculate the milk. This is an especially important step with raw milk.
* Note to raw milk people*
You have to get rid of the other bacteria if you want consistent and dependable results when making yogurt. Competing bacteria can be a problem.
Allow the milk to cool naturally and undisturbed to a temperature of 110°F. It takes about 3 ½ to 4 hours to cool to that temperature. It is critical to the success of the yogurt that you catch the milk at 110°F. 110°F is the ideal temperature for inoculating yogurt. [SOURCE: Listed below]
Question
#3: To make your yogurt more "tart"
is easy. Instead of refrigerating it, you just leave it out in room
temperature for a day?
-- True or False?The milk must be made sterile and free from all types of bacteria.

A. True, or
B. False, or
C. All right, I give up -- "Go Hawks!"
I store my yogurt in a refrigerator or a
cooler to keep it sweet tasting.
Some people prefer a tart yogurt and do leave it out at room temperature for over 24 hours.
The longer yogurt stays at room temperature the more tart it will become.
I try to always remember to save a little bit back so I have starter for the next batch.
