JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 20, 2010) - After seeing all of its winning streaks end Friday against No. 68 USC Upstate, the ETSU men's tennis team began a new streak Saturday as the Bucs dropped a much improved Campbell squad 6-1 at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center in Johnson City, Tenn.
With the win ETSU improved to 8-7 overall with a 5-1 A-Sun mark, while the Camels fell to an 11-3 mark with a 5-1 record in league play.
"I'm proud of the guys today," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Campbell has got better every season since we've joined the Atlantic Sun so as a coach after we got down a set in most of the singles matches I got a little bit worried. That being said, we have a team of fighters that are going to scrap and find a way to win even if they aren't playing their best tennis."
As play opened the ETSU took two out of three doubles contests for the early 1-0 lead. Campbell's lone win came from its 56th-ranked team of Davy Sum and Dominick Kaniewski.
The Bucs then extended their lead to 2-0 as junior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) picked up a quick 6-4, 6-4 victory over Loukas Wallaart at No. 4.
Campbell responded minutes later as Sum wrapped up a 6-4, 6-4 straight set win over Buc junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Sloveina) pulling the Camels within one point at 2-1.
However, any momentum that CU had, faded as quickly as it came, as ETSU rallied back, after being a set down, at No. 2, No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6.
Sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) defeated Larbi Lanzouri 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, giving the Bucs a 3-1 advantage, while senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia) came back with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Beto Mondini, which closed out the win.
Not to be outdone freshmen Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) and Juan-Carlos Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) stormed through with three set wins of their own over David Clavera and Josep Baro.
"I thought all our guys gave great efforts today," said Zaatini. "As a coach I sat back and watched a group of players, who were going against some quality opponents, play their hearts out when we needed it most. These last three matches (Stetson, Upstate and Campbell) have all been a tough stretch for our team so it was good to see guys like Sander, Danny, Juan-Carlos and Jesus all not quit in long matches."
The Bucs returns to action as they head to Nashville for a trio of contests next weekend against Lipscomb, Belmont and in-state rival Middle Tennessee.
1.Davy Sum-Dominik Kaniewski d. Teraz-Bottoni (ETSU), 8-5
2. Gille-Bandres (ETSU) def. Larbi Lanzouri- Joesp Baro (CAMP), 8-6
3. Akser-Isaza (ETSU) def. Beto Modini-Loukas (CAMP). 8-4
1. Davy Sum (CAMP) def. Grega Teraz (ETSU), 6-4, 6-4
2. Sander Gille (ETSU) def. Larbi Lanzouri (CAMP) 3-6, 6-1, 6-2
3 Daniel Isaza (ETSU) def. Beto Mondini (CAMP), 3-6, 6-2, 6-4
4 Charles Bottoni (ETSU) def. Louksas Wallaart (CAMP), 6-1, 6-3
5. Jesus Banders (ETSU) def. David Clavera (CAMP), 2-6, 6-4, 6-3
6. Juan-Carlos Ramirez (ETSU) def. Josep Baro (CAMP), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2

Visual printing of a playing card
Two cards are shown. One is a regular bicycle card. The other is blank on both sides. Show both sides of both cards. Nothing tricky here.
Slowly slide the regular card over the blank card. Visibly, the blank card now has a back and the card that had the back is now blank!
You are now holding one blank back card and one blank face card.
Next slide the blank back card over the blank face card and the face visibly transfers.
Both the back and the face of the normal card have transferred to the blank card and the original normal card is all blank.
This is unbelievable to see!
Hand the cards out. They will find nothing!
Two-Card Mysteries is the cleanest, most visual card-printing you will ever see!
It is true genius! And, it's easy to do.
No sleight of hand!
Only two cards are used!

Pirate drama 'Black Sails' launches at Comic-Con
SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Black Sails" cast out into the open waters of Comic-Con.
Starz isn't premiering the mature pirate drama until next year, but the first episode was screened for hundreds of fans — some dressed in pirate regalia — at a movie theater Thursday night during the pop-culture convention.
"Black Sails" cast members Zach McGowan, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Mark Ryan and Hakeem Kae-Kazim were on hand for the preview, which marked the first time for them to see the inaugural installment, too.
"I thought it sucked," joked McGowan, who plays ruthless Captain Vane. "No, it was awesome. It was really great to see it with everyone for the first time."
Before the screening at San Diego's Reading Cinemas, composer Bear McCreary and a band performed musical selections from the series.
With sweeping cinematography and gritty violence, the first episode centered on Toby Stephen's beleaguered Captain Flint as he sought to maintain control of his ship, the Walrus, and seek out a Spanish treasure fleet.
"Black Sails" creators Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine said they want their take on the pirate genre to be as realistic as possible. This is not "The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Show."
"The hope was to suck the truth out of everything we know that happened and turn it into something that felt real," said Steinberg. "What became clear to us very quickly is a pirate ship is the exact opposite of what you think it is. It's a mob. There's no adventure to being a guy who has to figure out how to corral a mob."

A great solar site has always been at the top of my homestead "want" list, so when my husband Shawn Schreiner and I stumbled on a piece of property for sale that had a wide-open solar window and a building pad that was ready to go, we pounced on it with our PV and passive solar dreams.
Both Shawn and I spent months scouring the Web for passive solar home plans that provided a small, efficient footprint and that would be relatively easy to build ourselves. We initially fell in love with a modern, simple design that would have suited our passive solar plans well, but scrapped it due to its north-facing roof.
So we went back to the drawing board—Shawn spent lots of time drawing in SketchUp, free modeling software that proved very handy, since we could observe how the various designs worked with solar gain. Besides having a passive solar home, we knew we wanted to use renewable fuels exclusively, so designing a large, uninterrupted south-facing roof space for a PV array and, potentially, solar hot water collectors, was essential.
The design we finally arrived at was a modified, "modernized" ranch—two long rectangles joined at a common wall. A south-facing roof measuring 60 feet by 20.6 feet would give us more than 1,200 square feet for PV modules and solar hot water collectors. With only one penetration for a stove pipe in the uppermost part of the roof, we had lots of room for renewable energy collection.
The building pad wasn't facing true south and redoing it wasn't an option—we needed to work with what was there. At a 218° azimuth, the house favors the south-southwest. We also deviated from the "default" roof pitch (equal to the location's latitude: 42°) specified by PVWatts, and the "optimal" orientation specified for our location, which is 7:12 or 30°. Instead, we went with a 3:12 (14°) pitch for ease of building and aesthetics. How much would this compromise solar generation? Surprisingly, not very much—compared to an "optimal" orientation and tilt, our potential solar production would only take a 5% efficiency hit (see graph).
Our main goal was to use renewable energy systems for our homestead, which includes a small, separate office building and a 576-square-foot cabin, and make as much electricity as we use each year. Except for space heating, which would typically be served by our wood heater, all of our loads would be electric.
Although I hand-calculated the potential heating contributions from our passive-solar design, the figures were untested until the house was built and occupied. We sized a wood heater to provide backup heating, but building codes required an auxiliary system, so we opted for an in-floor hydronic system, fueled by an electric water heater. Our original plans called for using solar thermal collectors for both domestic hot water and hydronic heating. However, winters in southern Oregon are often overcast—when we'd need space heating the most. The sunny summers would've guaranteed plentiful production from a SHW system, but with a system also sized for space heating, we would have had to make sure our overheating protection was robust and design in some sort of diversion load.

Where are values?
I attended both the planning commission and the city council meetings regarding the proposed Walmart expansion. What sticks in my memory is the statement by a former planning commission member who said to the Hood River Planning Commission: "You get to decide the issue. It's your decision."
Unfortunately, the city council has reneged on its own authority. From my attendance at the meetings and my reading of the Hood River News report: "Cascade-Rand project in limbo," the headline should have read: "Walmart throws weight around, city council caves."
Perhaps it is true that, "Money had no place in the council's decision …" but at least that would have been an economic decision to trade virtue for vice. As it is, it's very hard to know what the values of the city council are, and what vision the council has for Hood River.
Clearly, this one decision will not change the face of Hood River, but this category of decision leaves the future in doubt. Was it the threat of Walmart's legal counsel, the specter of "vested rights" or naïve sympathy for what Walmart "thought" was implied? What exemptions await the next big corporate move?
It certainly was not the fact, that in 1991, the planning commission approved a 72,000-square-foot store, with no additional approval for a 30,000-square-foot expansion. To make arguments 20 years later for an implied permission, not substantiated by any legal decision but because it was included in the site plan, is simply egregious.
If approval were so easy come by, we wouldn't need a planning commission, a city council or an Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. We could trust every corporate "person" to act in the community's best interest just because it said so.

Expansion is bad idea
The Walmart expansion is a bad idea for the following reasons:
1. It is not necessary; there are plenty of good places to buy groceries.
2. Walmart goods are shoddy, the food is cheap and highly processed, citizens pay for this in poor health and nutrition.
3. Walmart unfairly competes with American and local sources of production taking jobs, money and control away from us.
4. Walmart hires workers at rock-bottom wages and then encourages them to go on assistance - another tactic of unfair competition that costs us money.
5. There are already things you cannot buy in Hood River unless you go to Walmart or to The Dalles or Portland - let's not make the problem worse.
6. Traffic at the nightmare exit 62 intersection, light pollution and 24-hour noise from truck delivery is not something we need or want in our town.
7. Before you send your health and money to China and down the drain, think harder. Dump Walmart.

'Where's Walden?'
Greg Walden's choices for upcoming public meeting places says a lot. He must not want to explain his voting record to any significant number of his constituents. He has chosen two very sparsely populated counties and two towns with few people.
Rufus, in Sherman County (population 1,765), has 268 residences. Fossil, in Wheeler County (population 1,440), has 469 people.
Greg, why not your supposed hometown, Hood River (6,736)? Or The Dalles (12,314), Baker City (9,828), Ontario (11,316), Pendleton (16,970), Medford (74,907), or Bend (76,639)?
No, Representative (and I must use that term very loosely) Walden chose two counties with fewer than 3,300 people and two towns with fewer than 750 people. Oregon's 2nd congressional district has 769,987 people. What is he afraid of?

No thank-you letters?
Dec. 21 Hood River News letter policy states, "We will no longer publish 'Thank You' letters." In that issue and on the same page, a letter appeared with, "Thank you City Council."
Then again on Dec. 24, another "thank you" for the same cause, and again in the Dec. 28 issue, "thank the City of Hood River…"
Applying that ol' military explanation, "It depends on the terrain and situation," or is it, "Different strokes for different folks?"

The pics were snapped over the weekend in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis -- while crew were testing stage lighting for the upcoming performance ... and you can clearly see the word "Vogue" lit up on the floor panels.
Nicki Minaj is rumored to be a part of the show as well .... probably because she's featured on Madonna's new song, which Madge is expected to premiere at the Super Bowl.
Let's hope she knows how to let her body move to the music.

Flames set to show off new digs for Big South Baseball Championships
UPDATE - 5/25/2013: Liberty Baseball wins Big South Conference Baseball Championship title, 2-1 over Campbell Saturday.
5/24/2013: Liberty Baseball won its fourth consecutive game in the Big South Championships, defeating Coastal Carolina for the second time in six hours Friday night, 8-0, to advance to Saturday's 4 p.m. final against top-seeded Campbell at Liberty Baseball Stadium. The Flames improved to 32-27 overall and will be vying with the Camels for the Big South Conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Division I Regionals. For the latest scores and updates, follow Liberty Baseball at www.Liberty.edu/Flames.
Liberty Baseball, seeded fifth, held on to beat No. 2 Coastal Carolina 9-8 after jumping out to a 9-0 lead Friday afternoon. The Flames played the Chanticleers 50 minutes later in a seven-inning elimination game.
5/23/2013: Liberty defeated No. 4 Radford Thursday night, eliminating the Highlanders and advancing in the Big South Baseball Tournament. The Flames lost to Radford in their tournament opener on Tuesday, but then edged No. 8 Charleston Southern Wednesday to stay alive.
Hosting this week's Big South Baseball Tournament provides Liberty University an ideal opportunity to showcase its new Liberty Baseball Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility that was unveiled for the Flames' home opener in February and is scheduled to be completed next month.
Liberty (29-26), which finished Big South play at 13-11 by winning two out of three games of its regular-season-ending series against Radford, is seeded fifth and will face the fourth-seeded Highlanders in the first round. First pitch for Tuesday night's opener for Liberty will take place 45 minutes after the conclusion of the 4:30 p.m. first-round matchup between top-seeded Campbell and eighth-seeded Charleston Southern.
The Flames, coming off one of the most challenging regular-season schedules in program history, hope to use the home field to their advantage. They are 20-8 playing in the $20 million new stadium. An automatic regional berth into the NCAA Division I tournament is on the line for the Big South Tournament champion, which will be determined on Saturday.
The new complex is the operations center of Liberty Baseball. The program's offices and team room overlook the playing field, and the facility includes a modern media area with a 24-seat press box, a television booth, visitor and home radio booths, an operations suite, and storage space.
All areas except for the pitcher's mound — including the infield, foul territory, and warning tracks — are covered by turf. The field is flanked by full-length, major league-style dugouts, and players have access to four indoor batting tunnels, a weight room, and a clubhouse.
For fans, three concessions areas are available as well as a playground for children, picnic area, and a 3,000-square-foot patio with a fire pit.

Bowling Green State University says it's cutting 30 faculty positions
Bowling Green State University says it's cutting 30 faculty positions
The school in northwestern Ohio has said it faces a deficit between $3 million and $10 million over the next several years.
Bowling Green says most of faculty cuts will come from the college of arts and sciences. Eliminating those positions is expected to save $1.4 million per year.
The university is awaiting a report that is looking into additional cost-saving measures. That report is due to be released in mid-December.
Bowling Green President Mary Ellen Mazey has said that she doesn't want to make up the budget deficit with tuition increases and instead will focus on spending cuts.

Using Vista, like watching Soft Subs on VLC
So yeah, my leet IT Support skills doesn't expand over Vista, which means I need some help. Note that I have spent 3-4 hours trying to figure this stuff out before asking. Yes, you have the right to call me stupid.
1) How do I make the icons on my desktop smaller? I'm using the highest display setting possible.
2) Is there a way I can uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (or downgrade it)?
3) Even with my administrator account, every freaking action I do requires confirmation, like double. Is there a way to turn that off? Yes, I do realize the risks associated with doing so, but I'll let my antivirus take care of that, thank you.
And thanks in advance for the responses.

Only tried Vista for a very short time, so most of this info is googled up
1. link
2. Don't know this one.
3. I think UAC is what is bringing those confirmation msg.
- Go to Control Panel.
- Click Admin Tools.
- Click System Config.
- Click Tools.
- Disable UAC

As I said, hopefully enough, people will learn to code safely. I'd really love everyone using Vista to get used to UAC, even if it's a pale imitation of the Unix security model. It won't stop granma from rootkiting her PC when opening funny-screensaver.exe, but at least it'll give the somewhat-literate users a cue for what's going on in their system.

2.) There's no way Media Player 11 could be uninstalled; unless you know precisely which files and registry keys that player is using before you surgically delete them, like IE7, WMP11 is totally integrated into Vista.

It is a sort of crappy implementation of the Unix security model, but the fault lies within MS itself for giving free way to sloppy coding practices for years. The only way of doing it is holding on and waiting for coders to finally realize what a security-conscious multiuser environment means.
Also, keep in mind that it matters to everyone whether your box is owned or not--I don't use Windows, but I get spam on my email everyday, and I partly blame MS and its stupid policies for that.

google on the Storm and Kraken bot nets (keyword: Kraken Storm) and the literally millions of machines (mostly Windows) "pwned" by the botnet gods for spam generation, denial-of-service-attacks, and other purposes --- and perhaps some light on why there's such ire about the Microsoft programming culture may flicker on.

I don't know about others, but I never really have any problems with viruses or spyware or whatever. I got a malignant spyware app entrenched in my pc a couple years ago--it took me a couple hours to get rid of. That's pretty much the only such issue I've had in--I dunno, as long as I can remember. Just keep a firewall and antivirus up. People are just stupid. UAC isn't exactly convenient to disable. If someone manages it, they're probably fairly equipped to not stupidly get their pc killed by some virus.

So here's my input for the thing:
1) Like jedinat says, you literally get confirmation messages every five seconds. I hated moving/deleting things, especially from the start menu (oh help me) with UAC enabled.
2) The other thing is the issue that WanderingKnight stated. According to him, every computer using Windows XP would get infected in some way. That may be true, but the real question is, does that affect anything? I've used XP since forever now, and I will say that it doesn't. If stuff's coming in and I don't want it to be, but it doesn't do me any harm, then I don't really care. Besides, there's nothing that I can't cure by a system restore.
3) I can't believe it took me 5 minutes to find out how to paste onto Microsoft Word. It kept giving me the warning about disabling modules, so I had to look it up and disable it. It still wouldn't work, and apparently I had to restart it. Okay. All I wanted was to paste a freaking picture, and apparently they can have harmful scripts, oh no.
All in all, Vista is overprotective. I'll admit that I'll be vulnerable to attacks, but I don't really care. I'll just backup and restore my computer if I feel like something's wrong with it. That's better than clicking "Okay, I give you permission" for the 12968355234th time.
Thanks for the responses.
EDIT: I just found something good about Vista: Windows Photo Gallery can play videos!

Anyway, what I really wanted to reply to was your statement in bold that system restore can cure virtually anything. System restore is useful for a few things, but it's definitely not a cure-all (although I'd imagine you know this). Viruses get lodged in with restore backup points, and I've heard that some viruses can even insert themselves into older restores - but I'm not sure if that's really true. Either way, I learned that system restore was limited back on Windows ME.
Some spyware, in updating itself, would kill some file critical to accessing the internet. System restore would revert that file back and I could access the internet, but then the spyware would update itself again and disable my internet. Cycle that as often as you like; not even my earliest system restore could save me from it, and at the time there was no tool to remove that bit of spyware (it was called "webhancer" - I still remember it with a burning hatred). I think that was the last time that I had to format my system and start from scratch.

I kind of wish Vista would just ask for the root password instead of freezing everything onscreen and fading it into black while this shiny box asks if I'm sure I want to do something that I do every day. But then, I disabled UAC, so who cares.

Lemons get a bad squeeze. Think about it: Why is a clunker of a car called a lemon? Why isn't it called a kohlrabi? Or a kumquat? Who eats those things anyway? Who even knows what they are? "Hey, Bob. How's the new car?"
"Terrible. It's a real kumquat!"
Works for me. I'm starting a campaign.
Lemons are beautiful. They're the color of the sun on a July day. They are versatile. Half a lemon rind ground up in the kitchen sink garbage disposal makes it fresh as spring. A few grates of lemon zest adds pizazz to salad dressings. And a world without lemon meringue pie? Unthinkable. And what's a hot summer day without a tall, frosty glass of tart lemonade?
I'll never forget the glass of lemonade that saved my life, or so I thought at the time. It was during my late teens while spending a few months hitchhiking through Europe.
This particular day I was working my way down Italy's famous Amalfi Coast. It was blisteringly hot and I had been waiting for a ride for hours and had the thirst of a camel. Finally, a kindly Italian couple picked me up. They didn't speak a word of English, and I was as fluent in Italian as I was in Serbo-Croatian. That didn't stop my new friends from talking to me as I tried to get some rest in the back seat.
We finally pulled into a delightful seaside restaurant outside Positano. Lemonade. That's what I wanted, just lemonade.
All down the Amalfi Coast, among the stucco, pastel-painted homes were lemon groves where the heavy, golden fruit hung on the trees like hundreds of Japanese lanterns.
I guzzled the first icy glass quicker than I could say grazie, ordered another, and after so many slices of anchovy pizza, had one more. Never did anything taste so good. I was alive again. Refreshed.
My other great lemon awakening was years later under far more favorable conditions in Morocco. It was at the unspeakably beautiful La Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech. The main entrée at dinner was a traditional tagine. Among the succulent pieces of lamb, were quinces, raisins, dates, vegetables, almonds, and a blend of aromatic spices. Most surprising, to me, were golden wedges of salty, silky lemons that brought a tartness to the sweetness of the stew.
Next day, while strolling through one of the many souks, I saw barrels of preserved lemons, and found that they are indeed an indispensable ingredient in the cuisine of North Africa. And more recently I discovered, as have many cooks in the West, that they make a wonderful addition cooked with most any stew, or simply used as a simple condiment.
Serves 4
There are many interpretations of Lemon Chicken. I like this because it's very lemony and spiced with plenty of black pepper. Don't skimp on the salt, it tones down the tartness of the lemon.
4 skinless, boneless breasts of chicken, halved (about 2 pounds)
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 sticks cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Place chicken breasts between waxed paper or plastic wrap. Pound them with a rolling pin or small skillet until they are about 1/2-inch thick. Season chicken with the salt.
Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken and cook about 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer chicken to a large, warm serving platter.
Without cleaning, heat the sauté pan over high heat. Whisk in butter, lemon juice, and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly.
Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
Serve with a simple green salad and French bread.
This recipe is a wonderful accompaniment to any Middle Eastern or Moroccan dish and is especially fine with spicy meat stews. Use Meyer lemons if available; they are milder, jucier, and have very thin skins.
6 juicy, ripe lemons, scrubbed well
1/4 cup kosher or sea salt
1 cinnamon stick, snapped in half
6 whole cloves
6 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Extra lemon juice as needed
1 pint pickling jar, sterilized
Put one tablespoon of the salt into the bottom of the jar. Trim tops and bottoms of lemons and cut them into quarters. Sprinkle salt on the exposed flesh. Firmly press lemons into the jar, packing down tightly as you go, adding the spices and more salt evenly between layers. If there is not enough juice to cover the lemons, add more until the lemons are completely covered.
Seal jar and shake thoroughly.
Leave the lemons on the counter at room temperature for three to four weeks, shaking the jar each day to distribute the juices.
Rinse the lemon wedges thoroughly before using. A thin, white, lacy film may appear on lemons over time. This is completely harmless. Simply rinse it off for aesthetic reasons. Preserved lemons can be kept refrigerated for up to a year. The salted juice may be reused or drizzled into a salad dressing.

Kimi over at The Nourishing Gourmet is hosting Frugal Nourishing Meals Carnival. Since my regular Thursday post is thrifty meals for under $5, I thought I'd delay it a day to join the carnival. This week, I'm putting together a $5 meal from Trader Joe's. Erin, over at $5 Dinners, has agreed to me splitting my time (every other week) doing bargain meals for both New Seasons and Trader Joe's. Hopefully TJ's has more relevance to readers outside the Portland Metro Area! As I said in my first post about Trader Joe's, TJ's is a favorite organic, specialty grocery store, and there are definitely good deals to be found there for some amazing $5 dinners.
One of the first recipes I found in the book was a simple tuna curry, calling for 1 can of tuna, an onion, and some sliced bell peppers, among other things. The notion of transforming an ordinary can of tuna into an amazing curry was too good to be true, so I had to try it. It has now become one of our family's favorite suppers for it's ease of preparation, nutrition, and for its superb taste. My kids even devour it, thinking it's chicken!
The ingredients are simple, but using high-quality canned tuna is important. Most commercial tuna (such as Chicken of the Sea brand) contains soy (just read the label!) and a bunch of other stuff that's not tuna. The reason I love to shop at Trader Joe's for this meal is that Trader Joe's sells all the components for this meal (with the exception of the spices, which I'll mention later) at a great price. Their tongol tuna is very reasonably priced, and it contains only one thing: tongol tuna! Although bell peppers can be expensive, Trader Joe's sells a colorful assortment of red, yellow and green sliced bell peppers that can be found in the frozen section for $1.69, and I usually only use about 1/3 of the bag for this meal.
If you're not an Indian Food lover, don't be shy here. This curry has a unique taste all of its own; almost more like fajitas than a curry. If you are still skeptical, the spices can be easily modified to make more of a Mexican dish without adding much cost.
Now, about the spices. As you'll see below, it's ridiculous how cheap spices are, especially when purchased at Mt. Rose Herbs (a local, Eugene-based company that is awesome!). Now, I really did the math on these spices below, based on the prices at Mt. Rose Herbs. I always have this assortment of herbs on hand, no matter what, so I hardly factor spices into the cost of this dish! If you opt for a Mexican-only theme, just use a basic blend of cumin, oregano, and chili powder to make this into fajitas, and swap the lemon juice for lime juice.
It goes without saying that quarter's worth of spices can turn a very ordinary, thrifty meal into a feast! Think of all of the cuisine that comes from third-world countries; it's spicy and full of flavor where it may lack meat and fat. Herbs and spices not only add flavor, but can introduce many medicinal benefits as well!
Serves 4
1 onion,thinly sliced ($0.25, I get these in bulk from Costco)
1/3 bag (or more, if desired) "Melange A Trois" frozen pepper blend ($0.56)
3 T coconut oil (from Mt. Rose Herbs, it's $0.39)
1/4 tsp cumin seeds ($0.03 from Mt. Rose Herbs)
1/2 tsp ground cumin ($0.05 from Mt. Rose Herbs)
1/2 tsp coriander ($0.01 from Mt. Rose Herbs)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ($0.004 from Mt. Rose Herbs)
1/4 tsp salt ($0.001 from Mt. Rose Herbs)
2 garlic cloves, crushed ($0.10)
12 oz can TJ's tongol tuna, drained ($1.39)
1 green chili, finely chopped ($0.10)
1-inch piece ginger root, grated ($0.15)
1/4 tsp garam masala (est. cost $0.25 using bulk herbs)
1 tsp lemon juice ($0.20)
2 T chopped cilantro ($0.15)
1)Heat coconut oil in the frying pan and fry the cumin seeds for two minutes, until they begin to sputter.
2)Add the powdered cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, and peppers.
3)Fry the vegetables, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes or until the onions have browned.
4)Stir in the tuna, chili, and ginger and cook for 5 minutes.
5) Add the garam masala, lemon juice, and cilantro and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve atop brown rice or, for a grain-free accompaniment, try my Grain-Free Indian flatbread.

3 children struck by SUV in New Haven
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Three children were struck by an SUV in New Haven after witnesses say they ran onto a busy street toward their father's car.
Police say a 5-year-old girl, her 12-year-old sister and their brother were struck Monday afternoon on Ella Grasso Boulevard. Officials say the girls were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while their brother was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Authorities say the SUV driver tried to avoid hitting the children. Police are investigating whether charges are warranted.
Witnesses say the children's father was in a car parked on the street when the 5-year-old girl apparently became excited to see him and ran toward him. They say the older girl ran after her sister.
Police haven't released the names of the children and driver.

Platini frustrated by FIFA restrictions
UEFA president Michel Platini has told the Daily Mail of his frustration that goal-line officials "do nothing" because FIFA will not allow them to assist the referee.
Platini has been strongly opposed to the introduction of technology, variously arguing that it is too expensive and cannot address every type of refereeing injustice, and he remains adamant that stationing extra officials behind the goal is preferable.
In 2011, he suggested that FIFA president Sepp Blatter - who has strongly advocated the introduction of goal-line technology - might not support the use of additional assistant referees "because it's not his idea", and he has now said: "I can't do things that I want. If you think I can, it isn't true."
The extra assistants, whose role was approved by the International Football Association Board in July 2012, often have the best vantage point to make decisions in the penalty area but their ability to influence decisions has been heavily restricted by FIFA.
"The referee communicates, but FIFA cancels that," Platini said. "The officials are forbidden by FIFA to sign that it is a corner. He stands like this [puts arms straight down by his side]. He can move his feet only. He can't do nothing because he is forbidden by FIFA.
"Fans say: 'Look at these people, they are not moving, they are doing nothing, why are they here? They can't do this, they can't do that, they can't do nothing'. But they cannot communicate because they have not got the permit of FIFA to say something."
Meanwhile, Platini has defended his decision to vote for Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup.
Asked in The Guardian whether it clashed with his personal mandate to steer football away from "ultra-commercialism", he said: "I have always to protect the football. All the decisions, they are for the good of football."
He stressed that, while he had controversially attended a lunch at the Elysée Palace with Nicolas Sarkozy and Qatari royalty, the then France president had not influenced his vote.
"He never asked me [to vote for Qatar], or to vote for Russia [for the 2018 World Cup]. He knows my personality. I always vote for what is good for football. Not for myself, not for France."
In the Daily Telegraph, he added: "It was: 'Okay, corruption, na na na'. I never voted for Qatar and Russia and asked for something back. Never. I voted for Qatar and Russia for the same reason: they are two parts of the world that had never received the World Cup.
"Qatar is logical. The Arabic people have run ten times for the World Cup and never received the World Cup. If you want to do something new you have go to Qatar. A World Cup in Qatar is good for the world. It is good for humanity. Qatar have some [controversial] rules, perhaps they are complicated, but perhaps they will change and will have more democracy."
He feels that moving the World Cup to the winter to avoid the extremes of climate in Qatar would be positive.
"If we can play in winter, it will be beautiful," he said. "I hope we will play in winter."
To do so would involve leagues changing their schedule, but Platini feels it would make sense for European countries to play football in the summer on a permanent basis.
"I don't know why we always play under the snow and when it is beautiful we never play," he said. "I totally agree with that [summer football]. I think it is a FIFA matter to discuss it. It is because of you, the English, that we play in winter. You decided: rugby and football in winter, cricket in the summer."
Platini also stated his belief that football is in a much healthier state than during his playing days, and that the shift away from hard tackling has allowed players like Lionel Messi to flourish.
"Football is far better now than in the '70s and '80s," he said in the Telegraph. "FIFA changed the rules to give more possibility to play football. Look at Lionel Messi. Nobody touches him. When Cruyff and Maradona played, the game was dirty. It was very dangerous for good players. People were so aggressive they tried to injure me. Every game. I tried to anticipate the foul. I jumped. Now good players can play.
"The standard is increasing because of better referees, better rules. When one guy is very dirty now, TV shows him all over the world, he gets a bad reputation, suspended for ten games because of the video. Football is so beautiful now."
In part because of the advantages such changes have allowed Messi, perhaps, Platini rejects the suggestion that the Barcelona star can be considered the best ever.
"The generation of today say 'Messi is the best player of all time'. No. They never see the past players. Each generation has his good player."

This summer, ad students from the University of Houston's Jack J. Valenti School of Communication will take their place among the top advertising programs in the country.
A recent victory at the highly-competitive National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) District 10 earned these students an opportunity to become national champions on June 10 - 11 in Orlando, Florida. They will compete against 17 of the country's top teams.
For the district competition in Amarillo, Texas, UH's ad team Cougar Concepts developed a 32-page plan book and 20 minute presentation focused on an advertising campaign for State Farm. Cougar Concepts earned first place and best media plan. At this competition, senior advertising major Seth Johnson also was named best presenter, and junior advertising major Cheng-En Lee received a $1,500 scholarship from the American Advertising Federation.
"Going into this competition, we felt like we were representing both UH and Houston" Johnson said. "We went up against some pretty reputable advertising programs. It was a big learning experience and a rewarding one as well."
Among the competitors UH faced during the district competition were powerhouse advertising programs such as Texas Tech University and the Mays School of Business at Texas A&M.
Serving as mentors and advisors for the team were UH advertising instructors Larry Kelley and Rosario Laudicina.
"We reached for the stars and got one," Kelley said. "We always tell students to reach for the stars. In this case, we snagged one. The win really says something about the strength of the Valenti School program and the support we have from every area of the school."
The NSAC district win is UH's first since 1994. That year, UH went on to win the national title.
The recent victory also was dedicated to UH advertising professor and veteran Houston ad man Bob Culpepper, who took a leave of absence following a recent illness.
"He used to say that the devil was in the details," said senior advertising major Maria Prachyl. "Since he can't be with us right now, we're applying as much of his insight as possible."
The Valenti School's noted undergraduate advertising program prepares students for careers through intensive coursework focusing on research, copywriting, campaigns, graphic design and theory. Faculty includes experienced ad pros and academicians who help students develop their talents and prepare for professional careers.
"As a fellow Cougar and as someone involved and invested in education and the furthering of our craft, I am so proud of this team," said Alex Lopez Negrete, UH advertising alumnus and founder of Lopez Negrete Communications. "Today's marketing landscape is complicated, fluid, and the consumer has taken control. This recent competition reflects the training and mentorship provided by the university and its faculty."
In addition to its advertising program, the Jack J. Valenti School of Communication offers bachelor's concentrations focused on public relations, journalism, corporate communication, health communication, media studies, media production and interpersonal communication. Master's concentrations are in public relations studies, speech communication and mass communication studies.
Among the school's esteemed alumni are CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz, former White House press secretary Peter Roussel, former ABC News reporter Tom Jarriel, filmmaker Walter Coblenz, sports journalist and author Mickey Herskowitz, Houston Rockets broadcaster Bill Worrell and Houston KPRC-TV Channel 2 anchor Dominique Sachse.

3 in 1 units
I bought one of the "accurate tool" units about a year ago. I don't use it daily but have used the TIG and Plasma cutting, I gave the stick a try but really have no use for that. I have a Miller Shop Master also with a HF-15 box and have DC welded with both. The accurate tool machine is very light and a snap to set up and works ok. The Shop Master is more to get set up for a weld but will do better on the very low amps and has a whole lot more kick on the high side. I just built a SS grate for my gas grill and used the accurate tool machine and it worked great. the arc starting is much better than the HF-15. The only plasma cutter I have is the accurate tool and I have cut a lot with it and no issues. 1/4 steel is about al it will do and make a clean cut. The bad the regulator is a paper weight, the TIG and Plasma torch are cheap and will damage easy however you can buy a replacement on ebay for next to nothing. All in all it still works fine waiting for the day when that changes.

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
Sorry about the misspelling, I use my phone to get on to the forum and the spellcheck screws with me sometimes. I realize that I'm probably not going to get a lot of positive feedback because this is a Miller forum but not everyone can go and buy a Miller right away. I use Miller's at work every day and I love them to death, but I was thinking of possibly buying this to do my trailer fabrication and possibly save up enough money doing that to buy myself a nice Miller. I just thought that the three in one concept was a nice touch, And the price isn't so bad considering what you getting. A plasma cutter tig welder and stick welder all in one unit for 650 some odd dollars sounded like a good deal. I realize that I probably will not get the quality that I would with a Miller, but like I said before if I sell enough of my trailers I can go and buy myself a super nice Miller set up. And Bob, I don't mean to start any trouble or fights on this forum, I just asked because there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum such as yourself and I really value their knowledge insight and opinion.
I understand completely about the cost of the better American welders. I wanted to break into TIG welding and found the price for a new American welder was a bit more than I could afford right now. I thought about and looked into the different Chinese inverter welders, but read some bad things about their reliability. Guys were having to send machines back 2, 3, and sometimes more times, because of failures. Also, when shipping the Chinese welder back, you get stuck with boxing the unit up and must pay the cost of return freight (hence, don't throw the original box away).
I opted for an older American made machine that I found on Craigslist. Paid $500.00 and hope it will do those TIG projects I've been thinking about. Like you, down the road perhaps I will be in a position to upgrade to a newer machine. This older machine will give me some experience and help me make decisions about what things I'd like to have on the next TIG welder.

My friend Marla used to believe that meeting a man was as easy as following her bliss. After she and her long-term boyfriend broke up, Marla decided to pursue the interests she had neglected when she was in a relationship. She took acting lessons, joined a book club, and became devoted to yoga.
The result: She met tons of smart, funny and fascinating... women. "Don't get me wrong," says Marla. "I'm really glad I did all of that stuff. I made some wonderful friends and expanded my horizons. My new pursuits nourished my soul, but I have to say they did zip for my love life."
Marla realized that if she wanted to start dating again, she'd have to think a bit more strategically. Because contrary to popular opinion, men are out there. "Here's a little-known fact: One out of every two people is a guy!" says an exasperated 32-year-old Newark, New Jersey, panelist for Answerology.com, a Web site that aims to bridge the communication gulf between the sexes. With the help of Answerology creator Matt Milner, we've asked men from around the country to tell us where the heck they are—and the easiest ways to meet them!
1. Comedy Classes. Acting classes are filled with gorgeous nymphets and men who make great shopping buddies. Your average stand-up class, on the other hand, is a festival of testosterone. True, comedians have a tendency to be emotionally needy and self-centered. But if he makes you laugh, you may be willing to put up with the occasional bout of insecurity. And breaking the ice is easy: A simple "Your routine was hilarious" (preceded, of course, by hearty laughter) should do the trick.
2. Baseball Diamonds. Even if you know nothing about the game, you can still enjoy sitting outside on a summer night with a bag of peanuts and a hot dog. The beer line should be packed with fans; so get behind a cute one and ask him about his favorite team, advises a 39-year-old from Vancouver. Better yet, join a softball league -- you're sure to find a wide array of physically fit boys of summer.
3. Music Clubs. Next Saturday night take a bunch of your girlfriends to a nightclub that hosts local bands. You'll find them right up on stage: clusters of men, pouring their hearts out, trying to impress you. But don't get too seduced by musical talent. Tortured artists are dazzling on stage, but can be a drag in real life. On the other hand, a nice middle manager (during the day) indulging in some innocent rock-star fantasies (by night) could be just the ticket. The big drawback of music clubs, of course, is that the noise level can make it hard to hold a conversation. But if you say, "Hey, fantastic set!" he'll hear you.
4. Business Conferences. If you've been meaning to do some meet-and-greets as a way of boosting your career, here's some added incentive: Business conferences and seminars are filled with smart, ambitious men with whom you can talk shop. "Strike up a conversation around your mutual business interests, then ask 'How did you get to where you are today?' You'll learn about his path of life so far, including education and goals," says Nina Atwood, author of Be Your Own Dating Service: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding and Maintaining Healthy Relationships (Henry Holt, 1996). Just be sure to check his left hand for a ring or tell-tale tan line. "Business events often include a certain number of men who are looking for an extra-marital fling," says Atwood.
5. Blood Drives. While the Red Cross does not release statistical data on the male/female ratio of blood donors, any guy who would give up his own body fluids to help out a stranger has got to be a quality date. And even if you don't meet an altruistic hottie, you've helped save a life. Striking up a conversation is easy. After you've made your deposit, hang out by the snack table and ask a light-headed cutie whether he recommends Oreos or Cheese-Its as his strength-builder of choice. From there, you might both decide that dinner is the best option.
6. Science-Fiction Conventions. You'll find a slightly geeky crowd here, but that's OK. Guys who weren't popular in high school make excellent boyfriends. After the braces come off and the acne clears up, you're left with a smart, nice-looking man who on some level will always feel extremely grateful to have a girlfriend. Plus, they're handy when your computer crashes. So, read a couple of good science-fiction books -- or just rent The Lord of the Rings. Then ask a late-bloomer about his favorite Phillip K. Dick novel, and he'll take it from there.
7. Regular-Guy Bars. Don't go to that super-trendy night spot filled with icy women in towering heels and snarky men in shiny shirts. If you want to find a nice, laid-back guy, go to a bar that has sawdust on the floor and bowling trophies on the walls. Sports bars are particularly good because 98 percent of the clientele will have a Y chromosome. Also, the game playing on the bar's many TVs provides a natural conversation-starter. Your neighborhood tavern is also a good bet. Find one that has games -- pool, darts, foosball -- and then challenge a flannel-shirted cutie.
Check out our relationship panel's advice on picking up someone at a bar:
8. Car Shows. Sure, you'd rather see the new Matisse exhibit; just squint your eyes and pretend it's abstract art. Guys who are really into cars tend to be very capable and good with their hands, even if they sometimes provide you with more information about your Jetta's carburetor than you really need. You don't have to exhibit any particular knowledge of cars, says a frequent visitor to such shows. "Just say 'Hey, nice car!' As long as you're talking, that's good enough," he says.
9. The Internet. Online dating used to be for computer nerds and agoraphobics, but times have changed. There are now millions of nice, normal guys a mere click away. "It's becoming one of the best ways to meet people, as it allows you to sift through large numbers of people while sitting in your own home," says author Atwood. Of course, one does have to read the ads with a skeptical eye -- the veteran online dater understands that words like "tall" and "fit" are pretty subjective. But as a woman, the odds are in your favor when you use Internet dating -- Match.com, one of the nation's largest online dating services, reports that 62 percent of its members are men.
Check out our panel's advice for writing the perfect online profile:
10. Your Own Home. Throwing parties is one of the best ways to get yourself into the dating scene. Even if you don't meet an eligible bachelor at your own shindig, becoming the hostess with the mostest will naturally get you reciprocally invited to barbecues, wine-tastings, poetry readings, etc. And if a friend does bring along a handsome stranger to your next house party, you have ample reasons to chat him up. After all, he'll need you to take his coat, fetch him a drink, and tell you where he's been all your life.

Rehabilitation Case Manager – Commonwealth Agency
"During the past 2 years of working closely with Rehab Management, they have consistently delivered exceptional service quality for the ergonomic assessments they have conducted. Rehab Management are professional in their approach and actions and engage with our staff to enable the disclosure of personal and sensitive information enabling a holistic approach to recommendations and strategies to support and assist staff within the workplace. Referrals and quotes are completed well within the expected timeframes and their clear, concise and accurate reports assist in supporting local managers and the Early Intervention workplace health team to ensure the health and well-being of the employee.
Furthermore, due to the geographic spread of Rehab Management's offices and the ability to travel state wide, this re-affirms their position as a provider of choice .I personally believe that Rehab Management is highly competent in the area of ergonomic/workplace assessments and would highly recommend them to any other organisation seeking this type of assessment."
Senior Injury Management Specialist – Insurer
"I have been working closely with Rehab Management for the past few years in my capacity as a Senior Injury Management Specialist with the responsibility of managing rehabilitation providers. During that time I have had the opportunity to assess their performance in managing workers compensation cases and have found them to be one of the highest performing providers, consistently exceeding benchmark for return to work outcomes, costs and case duration. In working with Rehab Management I have found that they show consistent management of their cases and a willingness to understand the needs of each client. They are responsive to any issues to ensure services are maintained to a very high standard and have a strong focus on achieving outcomes.
In my dealings with both their consultants and the management team I have found Rehab Management to be professional, efficient and helpful, and able to establish excellent relationships with injured workers, case managers and injury management staff, as well as employer representatives. I have no hesitation in recommending Rehab Management as an excellent rehabilitation provider and look forward to our continual working relationship in the future."
"We have now been working closely with staff from Rehab Management for a number of years. In that time they have become a preferred provider of occupational rehabilitation services. The main benefits we have found are:
- Consistent management who know our business and are responsive to any issues to ensure services are maintained to a high standard;
- A greater focus on outcome and results, closing cases quickly;
- Excellent relationships with our injured workers, managers and WHS staff;
- Consistent staffing (in an industry that is notorious for turnover) who are able to develop a good understanding of the business to improve their effectiveness;
- Proven willingness to work closely with us and deliver targeted and cost effective one of assessments and services;
- Occasional unexpected positive outcomes for injured workers beyond initial prognosis."
Injured Person
"I was successful in applying for a Fisheries position sourced by Rehab Management. I would like to thank Rehab Management for their assistance in getting me back into the right frame of mind to keep on applying for positions. My Rehab Management Consultant's expertise, guidance and understanding of issues is a credit to the company. Issues and situations that people like myself are going through and having someone with the experience and expertise in this field makes a big difference not only with a fresh set of eyes' but when we need that little more of a push and prod'. Achieving this outcome is way over due and now the tide has turned for me."

Xenia:Everyone's story is different; some people have a much harder time than others. It seems that while you're grateful for the illumination, you're also still very angry. Forgive the past; it can't be changed. Put the burden down. Concentrate on all the good things God has given you and those He is sending your way. You don't have to abandon those you love; you'll just have a slightly different relationship to them. In light of the person you will be becoming, it will be fine.
How do I forgive them setting certain events into play that caused most Jews to die without Christ?
Quote from: Xenia1918 on July 05, 2011, 07:12:54 PMHow do I forgive them setting certain events into play that caused most Jews to die without Christ?There is a very real possibility that you cannot. There are many people in this world who cannot forgive people such as Stalin, Hitler or Mao. None of these horrible people brought tragedy to me or my family, but I can understand how there are some people who cannot forgive men like these. But I do truly believe that God can forgive them and bring them into his kingdom. Why? I believe that God can forgive even those we cannot because I feel men like these did such terrible things because they were unhappy and had no love in their lives, let alone the love of God.
But here is the horrible question I ask myself: might these ancient rabbis have known that Jesus was the Mashiach (Christ), and still done all this?

Christie: Comments On Obama, Boehner Part Of Job
Gov. Chris Christie says his praise of President Barack Obama's visit to the Jersey Shore after Hurricane Sandy and his smackdown last week of House Speaker John Boehner for delaying a vote on a $60.4 billion storm-aid package are part of the job.
The Republican has earned near-universal praise for his handling of the natural disaster. But some within his party call him out for embracing the Democratic president and hurling angry words at a fellow Republican.
Christie tells The Associated Press in an interview that the storm and its aftermath should transcend politics.
He says he praised the president because Obama was on the front lines helping New Jersey, and he called out the speaker after 66 days had elapsed without Congress acting on the aid package.

The Drucker School of Management and Wharton Business School both offer courses in mindfulness meditation. Virginia Tech is sponsoring "contemplative practices for a technological society," a conference for engineers who integrate contemplative disciplines into their work. Google offers courses in meditation and yoga
Aetna, Merck, General Mills--the list goes on--all are exploring how meditation can help their leaders and employees agilely thrive in today's fast-paced business environment. And the benefits are widely publicized: sustained attention span, improved multi-tasking abilities, strengthened immune system, increased emotional intelligence, improved listening skills...And there is science behind such claims.

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. - At the third round of the NCAA tournament, the MIT women's soccer team lost to No. 1 ranked Messiah College, 5-0. The Engineers, who went further this season than they ever had in program history, ended up with a record of 14-4-3. With the win, Messiah moves into Sunday's Sectional Final to face the winner of Lynchburg and Johns Hopkins.
Fifteen minutes into the first half, Messiah keeper Audra Larson had already prevented two could-be goals, one shot by senior Emily Kuo (Chicago, Ill.) in the sixth minute and the other by freshman Jennifer Ibanez (West Windsor, N.J.) a few minutes later. In the 19th minute, Holly Burgard scored Messiah's first goal of the game, which was followed up ten minutes later by another goal for the Falcons. At the end of the first period, the Engineers were behind, 2-0.
In the second period, MIT only took one shot, which went wide of the net, compared to Messiah's seven. In a span of six minutes, the Falcons had added three more goals to give them a 5-0 lead over the Engineers. Senior Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) made two saves throughout the period but the Messiah defense did not allow any shots on goal in the second 45 minutes. The game ended with a score of 5-0 in Messiah's favor.
Kuo wraps up her career at MIT with 42 goals and 20 assists, 13 of those goals being scored this season. Wright ends her final season with 80 saves and nine shutouts.
