Followed recipe exactly. Thighs were crispy and tasty. Don't know how with these ingredients the thighs become crispy, but they do. Easy recipe.

I have to admit to using boneless skinless thighs, but if I'd done it with skin I'd have had to taken it off anyway. So here you go. Wonderful way to season chicken and use a heavier side dish to make a really nice meal. We enjoyed our dinner a lot. We had the Foreplay Pasta with Brie, Basil, and Garlic from this site along with the chicken. Thanks a lot for our dinner, Nicole.
Delicious! Skin came out very crispy :) I didn't have onion salt so I used onion powder instead.
I currently have a broken right wrist(I'm right handed) with a cast all the way to my elbow and I made this the other night and the recipe is spot on. I baked for 58min and broiled for 1min. I will likely dial back the paprika a bit next time but my wife was very impressed. We are now affectionately calling this "one arm chicken".
I only had 5 thighs but I kept the full amount of seasoning. I did as some had mentioned about adding some of the seasoning right to the chicken(under the skin). Came out wonderfully and yes, very crispy. However, after 1/2hr I drained the fat off so the skin wasn't sitting in the fat and was allowed to crisp on the sides also.
Awesome recipe !!! I made it with only 6 thighs using the same amount of seasoning (because I always season heavily) and it came out great !!! Also added a little cayenne and cumin . Like the recipe says , crispy !! I also put them on a baking rack so air could circulate all around . I love using the thighs because #1 they're inexpensive and #2 they're more flavorful . This is now in regular in my house !!!
Cooked the thighs, boneless and bone in plus breast. Didn't make enough dry marinade so used some cajun in addition. Family loved it. Simple, fast, good!

Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 206 pounds
Achievements: 2013, 2012, 2009 first-team All-MIAA, 2010 second-team All-MIAA
What he brings: Desir is a tall, athletic and fast corner who possesses great size and experience. He's a willing corner who likes to play tight coverage and isn't afraid to be aggressive. The 23-year-old is good in coverage and shows good instinct at locating the ball. Desir is not great defending the run, often failing to wrap up.
Where the Patriots could get him: Round 3
Notes: In 2013, Desir recorded four interceptions, 12 pass deflections and 33 tackles. He recorded 25 interceptions during his collegiate career. He had nine interceptions (ranking No. 2 at all levels of college football) and 18 passes defended (tied for the Division 2 lead) in 2012. … Desir is featured on ESPN's television series "Draft Academy." … He was born in Haiti, moving to the United States when he was 4. … Desir started his collegiate career at Washburn University in 2009 before transferring to Lindenwood in 2011.

WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Defensive tackle
School: South Carolina
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 297 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All American (Sporting News), 2013 second-team All American (Associated Press, CBSSports.com, Lindy's Sports, Athlon), unanimous 2013 first-team All-SEC selection
What he brings: Quarles has good size for his position, and, according to scouts, he also has the strength and quickness necessary to surprise potential blockers. Scouts also point out, though, that Quarles' production was inflated because of extra attention paid to his teammate, Jadeveon Clowney.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 2-3
Notes: During the 2013 season, Quarles was one of South Carolina's four permanent captains and led the team with 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. … After graduating from Greenwood High School in 2010, Quarles went to prep school at Fork Union Military Academy, where Rivals.com ranked him the third-best prep school player in the nation. Quarles originally signed with South Carolina in February of 2010 before he attended prep school. … His father, Buddy Quarles, played on the offensive line for the Gamecocks from 1984-87.

1. While the team-building process for the 2014 season has yet to be completed, it certainly appears that the New England roster will be a difficult one for any rookie to crack. Yes, there are some positions where a first-year player could ultimately made an impact, like strong safety or backup linebacker, defensive lineman or tight end. But a quick glance at the nucleus of the roster that's already been assembled shows that it will be an uphill battle for any rookie to make a serious dent in the New England starting lineup.
Here's a look at the expected starters, as well as some key backups who have already put in extended time in the system and could be considered entrenched members of the roster.
Quarterback: Tom Brady, Ryan Mallett
Running backs: Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden, James Develin
Tight ends: Rob Gronkowski, Michael Hoomananwanui
Offensive line: Nate Solder, Logan Mankins, Ryan Wendell, Dan Connolly, Sebastian Vollmer, Marcus Cannon, Josh Kline, Chris Barker
Wide receivers: Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins, Josh Boyce, Brandon LaFell, Matthew Slater
Defensive linemen: Tommy Kelly, Vince Wilfork, Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, Sealver Siliga, Chris Jones, Joe Vellano, Michael Buchanan, Jake Bequette, Armond Armstead
Linebackers: Jamie Collins, Dont'a Hightower, Jerod Mayo, Steve Beauharnais
Safeties: Devin McCourty, Tavon Wilson, Nate Ebner, Duron Harmon
Cornerbacks: Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Alfonzo Dennard, Kyle Arrington, Logan Ryan (there's already been a lot of talk about Ryan at safety in 2014).
Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen, Danny Aiken
That's 49 players who already figure to be fairly well-established in the New England system, and doesn't include players like Kanorris Davis, who made an impact on special teams last season or veteran pickups like Pat Chung who could make a dent if he proves himself worthy of hanging around. With the understanding that there are always injuries — as well as the fact that some established veterans don't always meet expectations — at first glance, there's not a lot of room for a rookie when it comes to cracking the roster.
2. Teams have until May 3 to exercise the fifth-year option on the first-round picks of the 2011 draft class, and while some teams have already picked up the option, the Patriots have yet to announce what might happen with their first-round pick from that year, tackle Nate Solder. Per various reports — including our friend Miguel Benzan of Patscap.com — that option would be worth the average value of the third through the 25th highest cap numbers for offensive linemen in 2014. According to Benzan, that would put Solder's option at about $7.3 million. It's important to remember that the free-agent market fluctuates from year to year — just ask Aqib Talib, who went from a one-year, $5 million deal last offseason to a six-year, $57 million deal this offseason with $26 million guaranteed. But it was a robust market for offensive linemen this year: Branden Albert got $25 million guaranteed from Miami, Rodger Saffold got $21 million guaranteed from Oakland, Eugene Monroe got $19 million guaranteed from Baltimore, Austin Howard got $15 million guaranteed from Oakland and Jared Veldheer got $10.5 million guaranteed from Arizona. Given Solder's ability the last three years and considering he could be in line for a far greater payday if he did hit the market, the idea of giving him a one-year deal between $7 million and $8 million for 2015 seems like money well spent, at least in the current marketplace.
3. When it comes to unique insight on professional football, Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Media has been a great resource in the past. The former scout has never been shy about offering an opinion on the state of the game, and more often than not, he's been spot on in his analysis. On a conference call with the media Thursday afternoon, two things stood out about Jeremiah's pre-draft comments at it relates to the Patriots. One, New England's draft board is usually noticeably smaller than most teams. According to Jeremiah, who was asked initially about Philly's approach under Chip Kelly, this is a function of the Patriots' philosophy and how it relates to certain positions. More often than not, Belichick and New England know exactly the type of player they need. "Most draft boards — when you talk to guys around the league and the teams I worked for — you have about 150 players on your board," Jeremiah said. "And New England, they're kind of famous for being much less than that, well below 100. There's only a certain amount of guys they feel like fits what they want to do, and I think that's kind of what Philadelphia is going to with Chip Kelly when he's around." And two, he surprised some by hinting he wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots went after a running back in the first round. Jeremiah said that with all the talk of the running back position being devalued, he wouldn't be shocked if a team like New England goes after a "pretty good group" of backs who are available, and mentioned Carlos Hyde and Jeremy Hill as possibilities. 'The Patriots are always kind of one step ahead of the curve and trying to be creative," he said. "I wouldn't be shocked if they just sit there and said, 'OK, everybody else wants to pass on all these running backs; Carlos Hyde is a really good player. LeGarrette Blount is not here anymore, we're going to pluck him, and we've got ourselves a back of the future,' because I believe both Vereen and Ridley are up after this year. That's one potential team I'd say in the first round keep an eye on."
4. Left guard Logan Mankins addressed a number of topics when he met the media this week — for more on that, check out our story here. One of the things he discussed was the fact that he considers himself to be very "lucky" to have had the lengthy career he's already enjoyed since he first arrived in the NFL in 2005. "I think I've been truly lucky," Mankins said Thursday. "No catastrophic injuries. I've been lucky enough to stay with one team this entire time, and play for a great head coach, great organization, a lot of great teammates." Setting aside the fact that he played through a partially torn ACL in 2011, Mankins durability has been impressive. He made 80 straight starts to begin his professional career, and the 32-year-old can already boast of the fact that he's played in 130 regular-season games over the course of his first nine years in the NFL. That already puts him 31st overall on the franchise list of all-time games played. Assuming that Mankins plays another three years — the rest of his current deal — and if he stays healthy, that would put him at 178 regular-season games in 12 years in the league. That would be ninth best in franchise history, and third-most among all offensive linemen in franchise history, behind only Bruce Armstrong (212 games) and John Hannah (183). Here's the team's all-time Top 10 list in terms of regular-season games played:
1. Bruce Armstrong: 212 games, 1987-2000
2. Julius Adams: 206 games, 1971-87
3. Mosi Tatupu: 194 games, 1978-90
4. Tom Brady: 193 games, 2000-present
5. Troy Brown: 192 games, 1993-2007
6. Ray Clayborn: 191 games, 1977-89
7. Tedy Bruschi: 189 games, 1996-2008
8. John Hannah: 183 games, 1973-85
9. Stanley Morgan: 180 games, 1977-89
10. Steve Nelson: 174 games, 1974-87
(As a postscript, Mankins explained why he was able to play on the ACL injury, one that would have hobbled lesser individuals. "I think I was lucky that year, too, just to have the type of body that could handle it," Mankins shrugged. "I'm lucky in a lot of aspects to have a lot of things that have happened to me happen.")
5. Ty Law, Ray Clayborn and Bill Parcells were announced as finalists for the Patriots Hall of Fame this year, and one of the things that Clayborn indicated was the fact that Law not only deserves a spot in the Patriots Hall of Fame, but a spot in Canton as well. "Bill's already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame," Clayborn said, "and I believe Ty will definitely get there one day himself." So is Law a Pro Football Hall of Famer? It's certainly an interesting debate. Law had a knack for making big plays on the big stage (his picks of Peyton Manning in the playoffs and Kurt Warner in the Super Bowl were certainly proof of that), and ended up as a two-time All-Pro while evolving into one of the best corners of the era. In addition, his physical play sparked rules changes when it came to pass defense. His 53 career picks are tied for 24th all-time with Deion Sanders, but that might not be enough to get him in. Nine other retired players on this list have at least 50 career picks, and haven't been fitted for the gold jacket. (While voters have traditionally been a little squirrelly when it comes to voting modern era corners into the hall, it appears that 60 interceptions are the football equivalent of 300 wins for a pitcher, as only three retired defensive backs who finished with at least 60 picks aren't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame — Ken Riley, Darren Sharper and Dave Brown.) Ultimately, Law's candidacy may come down to whether or not fellow modern-era defensive backs like Charles Woodson and Champ Bailey who are still playing merit serious consideration. But it's certainly worthy of a debate.
6. Here's the latest roundup of mock draft information as it relates to the Patriots and the 29th overall pick:
Rob Rang, CBS Sports (updated 4/14): Missouri DE Kony Ealy
Dane Brugler, CBS Sports (updated 4/14): Alabama ILB C.J. Mosley
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports (updated 4/17): Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman
Pat Kirwan, CBS Sports (updated 4/18): Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman
Will Brinson, CBS Sports (updated 4/10): Texas Tech TE Jace Amaro
Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com (updated 4/9): Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman
Bucky Brooks, NFL.com (updated 4/15): Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman
Charles Davis, NFL.com (updated 3/18): Notre Dame DL Louis Nix
Mike Huguenin, NFL.com (updated 4/10): Auburn DE Dee Ford
Mel Kiper, ESPN: Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman
Todd McShay, ESPN (updated 4/10): Notre Dame DL Louis Nix
(For what it's worth, our latest mock draft — published on March 30 — has the Patriots taking Hageman if they stick at No. 29.)
7. The idea of Donald Trump buying the Bills has already been addressed in this space, but it was interesting to hear Trump talk about himself as a potential buyer with our pal Tim Graham this week in the Buffalo News. Trump said he'd do whatever it takes to make it happen, include selling his shares in his casinos. (The NFL prohibits all personnel from having involvement with gambling.) He also pledged to keep the Bills in Buffalo and not move them to Los Angeles or Toronto. "I'm going to give it a heavy shot," Trump told told Graham. "I would love to do it, and if I can do it I'm keeping it in Buffalo." But from this viewpoint, Trump and the Bills feels like it would be a mistake. Trump's failure with the USFL — combined with a business record that seems to run counter to the NFL's long-held belief that a rising tide lifts all shifts — are two colossal black marks against him. While he could have a key advocate on his behalf in Patriots owner Robert Kraft — the two have been pals for a long time — it still feels like something of a long shot, at least right now. Two other reported possibilities for the Bills? One group includes the Jacobs family, but it is worth mentioning that Jeremy Jacobs has said he won't sell the Bruins to buy the Bills (as would be required under the NFL's cross-ownership rules). However, that doesn't mean another member of his family couldn't get involved. And two, Jon Bon Jovi has reportedly emerged as the front man for Toronto's Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, but no one from that group has made a public statement about the Bills one way or another. Regardless, the process will apparently move very quickly, as Graham is reporting that a sale could be finalized by early October.
8. Since he was cut loose by the Patriots prior to the 2013 because of a major kidney issue, wide receiver Donald Jones has had an interesting journey. The former Bills pass catcher set up a workout with the Colts shortly after cutting ties with New England, but saw his blood test skyrocket during a stress test that ultimately convinced him to retire. It turns out he was suffering from Berger's Disease — he required a transplant or kidney dialysis, and his father ended up giving him a kidney. Now, four months after the transplant, Jones is trying his hand again at professional sports — this time, baseball. He's currently working out with the Somerset (N.J.) Patriots, and hopes to make the team. The 26-year-old, who spent three seasons in the league (all with the Bills) had 82 career receptions. In his relatively short time with the Patriots, Jones distinguished himself as a hard worker and high character guy, and as a result, it was no surprise to hear him say what he did about his father and what he did for him. "There no way to put it into words," Jones said. "He always says, 'I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out,' joking around like most parents do with their kids. But he brought me into this world, he raised me and he's given me a second chance at life." For more on Jones and his amazing journey, check out this story.
9. The Jets decision to sign running back Chris Johnson this week to a two-year deal was an interesting move, and one that certainly bears watching for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it means he'll have to face the Patriots twice a year. For all his drawbacks, Johnson is one of only a handful of runners to top 1,000 yards each of the last six years, including a 2,006-yard effort in 2009. However, he's not the type of guy who should be depended on to be a feature back anymore. In addition to his impressive yardage numbers, Johnson, who will turn 29 in September, is one of only a few backs who has at least 250 carries a year for the last six seasons, and history tells us that age plus 250 carries a year can be a recipe for disaster for any back, let alone someone like CJ2K. However, if Johnson is part of a rotation in New York — that is to say, the Jets can find a way to split carries with Johnson, Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell — then, the Jets could really have something. Ivory had a career-high 833 yards in 2013, while Powell also had a career-high 697 yards on 176 carries. While no one will ever confuse them with Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton and Earl Campbell, if Johnson and Ivory can compliment each other between the tackles, and if Powell continue to work as a third-down option out of the backfield (he had 36 catches last season), then New York could really be on to something when it comes to its running game. Right now, there are a lot of ifs, and a lot of it will ultimately hinge on whether or not the Jets can pick up a steady receiver in the draft (in addition to free-agent addition Eric Decker), which would certainly loosen up defenses. But New York has certainly made some intriguing offensive additions this offseason.
10. Good luck to all the members of the Patriots Marathon Team who will be taking part in the Boston Marathon on Monday. It's a crew that includes former linebacker Eric Alexander, PR staffers Cecily Faenza and Christy Berkery and assistant editor of Patriots Football Weekly Andy Hart, a great group dedicated to raising money for a variety of causes. This year's team has raised $375,475 and counting, with the money going to support the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards program, which awards grants to nonprofit organizations through nominations of deserving volunteers in the New England region as part of the Patriots ongoing Celebrate Volunteerism initiative. (And it's also worth wishing good luck to fellow WEEI crew members Kirk Minihane, Rob Bradford and Patricia Yuse. Go get em.)
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Cornerback
School: Oklahoma
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 192 pounds
Achievements: 2013, 2012 first-team All-Big 12
What he brings: A good-sized corner, Colvin is a smart, rangy player who can use his length to his advantage. Analysts say he's a willing tackler with good instincts, especially in the run game. Colvin's weaknesses are his average speed and struggles in pass coverage. He could look to add some muscle to his frame. His stock was hurt when he tore his ACL in a practice before the Senior Bowl.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 4-6
Notes: In 2013 Colvin recorded two interceptions and 55 tackles in 11 games. … Before Colvin tore his ACL, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. had him rated as his fourth-best cornerback. … During the 2011 season Colvin was moved to strong safety, where he led the team in tackles with 84. He was moved back to cornerback in 2012.

Position: Running back
School: Baylor
Height: 5-foot-9
Weight: 201 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All-Big 12, 2012 Honorable Mention All-Big 12, 2012 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year
What he brings: Seastrunk isn't too small or big, providing an excellent balance between power and speed. His ability to cut and accelerate is his biggest strength, though he sometimes runs laterally too much. Seastrunk possesses good vision and balance. His pass-blocking is average and he has very little experience catching the ball, recording nine career catches in his collegiate career.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 3-4
Notes: Seastrunk ran for 1,177 yards (7.4 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns as a junior in 2013. In 2012 he ran for 1,012 yards (7.7 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns. … Seastrunk originally went to the University of Oregon in 2010 before transferring to Baylor in 2011. … He ran a 4.51 40-yard dash at the NFL combine and a 4.37 40-yard dash at his pro day.

WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Outside linebacker
School: Utah
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 245 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All-Pac-12, 2012 honorable mention All-Pac-12
What he brings: Reilly's big frame is enticing and his above-average athleticism, specifically his lateral agility, helps him get to the passer, making him an effective end-of-the-line player. However, Reilly isn't the quickest or biggest for an outside linebacker, and it shows on tape. While big, he can't overpower bigger offensive linemen, and he can't beat others with his speed. His coverage abilities are solid.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 2-3
Notes: The 26-year-old recorded 100 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks during his senior year. He had 235 tackles, 37 tackles for losses and an interception in his Utah career. … Reilly tore his ACL before his junior season but played through it, holding off on surgery until after the season. … Reilly went on a two-year Mormon mission to Sweden after high school. He initially planned to go to Texas Tech but decided attend Utah, where he was a walk-on. … Reilly is married and has two daughters. His 1-year-old, Shayn, was diagnosed with cancer last year.

WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Cornerback
School: Michigan State
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 199 pounds
Achievements: Jim Thorpe Award, Jack Tatum Award, unanimous first-team All-American, Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, 2013 first-team All-Big Ten (coaches, media), Big Ten Defensive MVP (ESPN.com, CollegeFootballNews.com), Nagurski Trophy finalist
What he brings: Analysts say that Dennard has perfect size for his position and has strong reaction skills — allowing him to see plays well and have overall good awareness on the field. However, he did not play against many top offenses, and his recent injury history is a concern.
Where the Patriots could get him: Dennard is projected to be a top-15 pick, so the Patriots likely would need to trade up to get him.
Notes: Dennard played much of his junior season with a sports hernia that he likely suffered in September 2012. He had surgery for that injury after the season. … Dennard is a distant cousin of Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.

Position: Defensive tackle
School: Penn State
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 322 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All-Big Ten
What he brings: Jones lost 25 pounds during the 2013 offseason and, according to scouts, now displays more quickness off the snap. Jones has the strength to control blocks, but analysts say that he can take plays off at times and struggle with his range.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 2-3
Notes: Jones was ranked the No. 2 high school offensive lineman by Rivals.com coming out of Johnson City (N.Y.) High. He also was the captain of his football and basketball teams and was a member of the track and field team in high school. … Penn State coaches initially kept Jones out of the first four games of his freshman season in an attempt to preserve the chance to have him redshirt. His play during practice, however, got him time on the field. By his senior year, he started in all 12 games and led the teams with 11.5 tackles for loss.

The Patriots are one of four teams who have shown pre-draft interest in Boston College running back Andre Williams, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.
The Browns, Steelers and Jets have also shown interest in Williams, who led the nation in rushing with 2,177 yards (to go along with 18 touchdowns) and was a Heisman finalist this past season with the Eagles. However, the opportunity to stick in Eastern Massachusetts is certainly alluring for Williams, who was a consensus All-American and Doak Walker Award winner in 2013.
"It would be a blessing to end up on the Patriots squad," said the 5-foot-11, 230-pounder at the combine in February. "They're a winning franchise. They have a great coach. He seems like a really levelheaded cool guy to deal with. It would be great to go back to the Northeast. That's where my family is situated right now. It would be a great fit."
Considered a second-day pickup, Williams is among the upper tier of backs expected to be taken this year, a group that includes Ohio State's Carlos Hyde, Auburn's Tre Mason, Washington's Bishop Sankey and LSU's Jeremy Hill.

Fewer bottles to sell mean fewer items in storage, fewer long-distance trips by truckers to transport those containers and less repackaging.
"We'll fill up any bottle as long as it's marked properly," said brewmaster Tom Young. "It's a greener way to go."
That's not all Great Basin is doing these days as a friend of the environment. The brewery has ramped up its glass, paper and barley recycling. Even the trub, or the heavy fats and protein left over from brewing, contains vitamins that can be used in animal feed, Young said.
An increasing community concern for economical use of Earth's resources has businesses and agencies interested in becoming more conscientious stewards in a variety of ways. A recent survey of 1,000 businesses in three different markets by BGJ Architecture and Engineering shows more companies are seeking to incorporate better green practices as a way to keep costs down.
BJG president Pete Blakely said the firm was interested in finding out what clients wanted in terms of becoming more energy efficient and their motivation in all three of the firm's markets: Reno, Las Vegas and Pleasanton, Calif.
"The main reason was, if people want to do things for public perception, they would want to implement things that are highly visual," Blakely said.
Overall, that type of "eyewash," according to the survey, seems less important to businesses than a genuine concern for the environment, he said.
The survey revealed that in northern Nevada 83 percent of businesses expected a return on their investment. Nearly 59 percent made changes for employee satisfaction and 31.5 percent did so in pursuit of community recognition.
"They really want to do it because it has legitimate energy savings or a measurable return for their dollar … which was actually refreshing," Blakely said. "It's people doing things that are going to benefit the environment and save the energy as opposed to things that are much ado."
Young and Great Basin's sustainability manager Jennifer McDuffee recently began implementing practical changes at the Sparks brewery, such as energy-efficient light bulbs and cutting back on their water supply and the need to reheat water for brewing. McDuffee, a former University of Nevada, Reno student, was hired in her position to create ways to encourage "green thinking."
Great Basin also takes part in community recycling and clean-up efforts such as Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and helping Sparks crews with Christmas tree recycling.
Other entities are using new methods of energy conservation to keep costs down for customers.
According to Paul Miller, manager of operations and water quality at The Truckee Meadows Water Authority, the agency's current power bill is $6.6 million a year. To help keep it down, TMWA pumps water into its storage tanks during off-peak hours, typically from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. That can generate a cost savings on its power bill of about 10 percent, or about $700,000, Miller said.
But one green practice TMWA is particularly proud of is its hydroelectric generation. TMWA generates more than half of its own power. In fiscal year 2006, TMWA consumed more than 56,640,000 kilowatt hours.
"We're expanding the size of the canal so we can get full gravity flow," Miller said. "We're keeping costs low. Hydroelectric is huge for green energy."
Also, a project currently under construction is the Highland Canal. Miller said it's anticipated that improvements to the canal along the Mogul bypass and feeding water to the Chalk Bluff water treatment plant will also conserve energy, save $400,000 in power expenses and produce a 7 to 12 percent rate-of-return on investment.
While some agencies may see such return for going green, it may not always help financially but it offers an ethical satisfaction.
Young said it's likely more costly for Great Basin to engage in these practices than cost-effective.
"We don't get paid for (these things)," Young said. "In the long run … it's not something in our business plan that's going to make Great Basin more profitable. … But it's the right thing to do."

Since 1998, I've collected as many classical and medieval Celtic texts as are available, or at least providing links to them on other sites. Since 2003, my second project on the site has been the Celtic Encyclopedia, which will hopefully become a decent internet resource for people researching the subject matter. There are other projects, of course, and you can find links to them on the right.
To view some pages properly, you need to download two fonts: the comprehensive unicode font Code2000 and Andron Scriptor W1, which will display the medieval characters found in some of the manuscripts I've (attempted to) reproduce here. On computers using Vista, you may need 7-Zip to unzip the Code2000 file, as it's about 7MB, which the built-in zip program won't handle. Hooray for Windows 7.

WASHINGTON, DC (CNN) - The U.S. is expelling three Venezuelan diplomats.
A State Department spokeswoman says the move is the U.S.'s answer to Venezuela's expulsion of three U.S. diplomats.
"In response to the Venezuelan government's decision to declare three foreign service officials persona non grata, we on February 17, in accordance with Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the State Department has declared three officials from the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, D.C. persona non grata as well. They have been allowed 48 hours to leave the United States," said Jen Psaki.
Venezuela expelled the U.S. diplomats earlier this month in connection with accusations that the U.S. is behind anti-government protests in the South American country.
The U.S. has denied the allegations.
Venezuelan Embassy First Secretary Ignacio Luis Cajal Avalos, First Secretary Victor Manuel Pisani Azpurua, and Second Secretary Marcos Jose Garcia Figueredo were declared persona non grata. They have 48 hours to leave the United States.

Where America's wealth resides
The U.S. Census Bureau report showing seven of the nation's 10 highest-income counties are suburbs of Washington, D.C., has raised a considerable ruckus.
"Our gilded District is a case study in how federal spending often finds its way to the well-connected rather than the people it's supposed to help," wrote Ross Douthat in The New York Times. "The American economy has gotten more deeply invested in influence-peddling — broadly construed," added Matt Yglesias in Slate. "This is driving the Washington area to the top of the charts."

Eric Lilavois
Chief Operating Officer
A graduate of New York University's School of Business and Public Administration, Eric Lilavois began his post collegiate career working for legendary film producers, Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Script development taught him to balance creativity with business but ultimately, he decided the film industry was not his calling.
Following an intense period of travel, Eric settled in Crested Butte, Colorado where he aimed to ski for a season. He took his first restaurant job and was instantly inspired by the camaraderie of the staff and the passion they shared for food, wine and service. Soon after, he decided to pursue the restaurant industry as his profession.
Eric returned to New York, his native city, and worked for Steve Hanson (BR Guest) as Beverage Manager of Blue Water Grill. A stint with Larry Forgione and Jonathan Waxman as Corporate Beverage Director led him to City Hall Restaurant in TriBeCa where he worked as General Manager.
In 2004, Eric joined Thomas Keller as Director of Operations for Per Se and Bouchon Bakery. In 2006 he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer for the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group.

Looking for a lot of birds in 2013
I'm well on my way to one of my personal goals for 2013. I'm once again going to try for a local "big year" in Northeast Tennessee.
My previous best year for sightings took place in 2000, when I achieved a personal best by observing 220 species in the counties of Carter, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington. I'm not necessarily looking to match this lofty number, but I would like to see at least 200 species in 2013.
Back in 2000, I birded frequently with the late Howard P. Langridge, who found 237 species that year and set a new record that stood until 2009 when Rick Knight found 241 species. The record set by Rick back in 2009 has not been seriously challenged in the subsequent years. It would take an almost "perfect year" to even hope to match that record, which I suspect may hold for quite some time.
I last tried for these "big years" in area birding back in 2006, when I found 190 species, and again in 2007, when I finished the year with 209 species.
In 2008, I narrowed my focus and tried for a "big year" in yard birds, but found a somewhat disappointing 88 species. My personal goal had been to see at least 100 species in my yard.
I am not the only person hoping for a good year in birding. The Lee and Lois Herndon Chapter of Tennessee Ornithological Society now awards yearly recognition to any member who finds 200 or more bird species in the five-county area in a calendar year. That award, appropriately enough, is known as the Howard P. Langridge Memorial Award. Many chapter members have received that recognition in recent years. I strongly suspect competition will be friendly but intense in 2013. Chapter members Brookie Potter and Tom McNeil are hoping to see their first 100 species in January! Other chapter members sure to be looking for a lot of birds include Jean Potter, Rob Biller, Reece Jamerson, Jim D. Anderson and, of course, Rick Knight. With a bit of luck, a lot of persistence and sheer dedication, we may see a lot of people finding the threshold of 200 species in 2013.
To date, I've already seen 51 species, including such noteworthy birds as Loggerhead Shrike, Bald Eagle, Horned Grebe, Redhead and Purple Finch. It's a modest start, but the way I look at it, I am already a quarter of the way to my goal.
On a quick trip to Wilbur Lake after finishing work Monday, Jan. 7, I added several birds to my 2013 list when I observed three Ruddy Ducks, 162 Buffleheads, a Common Raven, a Pileated Woodpecker and two Great Blue Herons.
I enjoyed several hours of birding in Sullivan County with Reece Jamerson, Gil Derouen, Roy Knispel and Tom McNeil, all members of the Lee and Lois Herndon Chapter of Tennessee Ornithological Society.
We visited such area birding "hot spots" as the Paddle Creek Pond Migratory Shorebird Management Site, Osceola Island Recreation Area in Bristol and Musick's Campground on South Holston Lake.
We found a Loggerhead Shrike on Pemberton Road, a location known for attracting these predatory songbirds.
The Loggerhead Shrike is a songbird that has adopted the lifestyle of a raptor. The Loggerhead Shrike is the only member of the shrike family confined to North America. Its larger relative, the Northern Shrike, occurs in North America but also ranges into Europe and Asia.
The Loggerhead Shrike has a large hooked bill, which it uses to dispatch prey. It lacks the talons of a hawk or falcon. It has met this deficiency by learning to impale prey on thorns and even barbed wire fences. With its prey thus held securely, the bird can use its bill to tear apart victims, which are usually large insects, such as grasshoppers, as well as amphibians, reptiles, rodents and other songbirds. This behavior has earned the Loggerhead Shrike the nickname of "Butcher Bird."
The Loggerhead Shrike was once considered an abundant bird, but declined drastically through the last half of 20th century. The species is essentially gone from the northeastern part of range, which includes Canada.
Experts haven't yet determined any single cause for the drastic decline of Loggerhead Shrike numbers. The decline can probably be attributed to a variety of factors, including pesticide use and habitat loss.
Worldwide, there are 31 species of shrikes, including the The Magpie Shrike of Africa; the Tiger Shrike of eastern Asia; the Masked Shrike of the Middle East and northern Africa; the Grey-backed Fiscal of Africa; the Red-backed Shrike of Europe, western Asia and tropical Africa; and the Woodchat Shrike of southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
From spring to fall, my favorite family of birds is the warblers. In the winter months, when most warblers have retreated to warmer climates, I enjoy looking for waterfowl, especially ducks. My recent birding has helped me find plenty of wintering ducks.
At Paddlecreek Pond, my friends and I found three Gadwalls, an American Wigeon, an American Black Duck, 30 Mallards, two Green-winged Teals, four Ring-necked Ducks and two Ruddy Ducks. We also found such birds as a Killdeer, a Great Blue Heron, a Pied-billed Grebe and an Eastern Meadowlark.
At Osceola Island Recreation Area, we found at least 100 Buffleheads, five American Wigeons, 10 Mallards and a Redhead hen.
At Musick's Campground, we counted 35 Canada Geese, seven Pied-billed Grebes, two Horned Grebes, a Common Loon and at least 130 Ring-billed Gulls. We also found White-crowned Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows and Northern Cardinals at some of the feeders at the campground.
During our drive to Musick's Campground, we also spotted a soaring immature Bald Eagle and an adult Red-tailed Hawk.

November 13, 2012
The Albemarle County Planning Commission made a decision on a controversial proposed firearms range in Keene.
The Commission approved a preliminary site plan for the range but asked the final plan be brought before the consent agenda.
Everyone in public comment asked the board not to approve the range, citing noise and safety as main reasons not to build. People said property values would decline, that calibers can exceed boundaries of the range and hearing health standards, that lead from bullets would leach into the environment, and noise scaring farmers' animals, and more.
"We make our livelihood off our land and that section of land is going to be unusable," said Pol Colman, Jr., an Albemarle County farmer.
Staff responded to the public's concerns saying they will have an environmental stewardship plan, will work with a lead contractor, and that police will have a safety plan. Staff also stated that they are going above and beyond NRA recommendations.
"I was very disappointed in the response of the planning commission to the entreaties and concerns of the public," said Dr. Bill Tunner, an Albemarle County Resident. "They didn't seem to care about the public good."
Two members of the board did vote against the range's approval.

The small village of Cipanas six kilometres north of Garut and 65 kilometres southeast of Bandung is famed locally because of the hot spring water that seeps out of the surrounding earth. As a result, many hotels have been built to accommodate people wishing to bathe in the therapeutic water, with most hotels pumping the water directly into their bathrooms.
Aside from the hot spring water, there really isn't much else in Cipanas and visitors will need to look further afield for activities. This entire area is home to a large number of volcanoes, many of which are still active and regularly belch steam into the heavens. The most popular to visit is Gunung Papandayan, which last erupted in 2002 and has threatened to erupt at regular intervals since.
Other activities include visiting the geologically active Kawah Kamojang, the ancient Hindu temple of ... Read our complete Cipanas travel guide

Muni Market Reverses Course as Investors Move In
NEW YORK (MainStreet) Something significant happened last week. The tax-free bond fund market reversed course. After a record run for the exits in 2013, with outflows of more than $64 billion, investors returned during the week ending January 15 with net inflows of over $103 million, according to Lipper.
It was the first week of net new money for the asset class in more than eight months -- since municipal bond funds saw net buy-ins during the week ending May 22 of last year.
The sell-off in tax-free bond funds was dramatic and prolonged in 2013. Lipper reports the Barclays Municipal Bond Index declined 2.55%. Most state municipal bond indices suffered even more. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch California Municipal Index fell more than 5%, while the New York Municipal Index declined 5.78%.
But as values plummeted, yields rose. The average SEC yield in the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds classification, net of fees, was 3.20% as of December 31, 2013, compared to 2.27% a year earlier. The SEC yield of the New York Municipal Debt Funds was 3.08% versus 1.98%, while the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds classification saw a yield of 2.87% compared to 1.86% on December 31, 2012.
"The allure of these increased tax-free yields -- the average SEC yield in the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds classification was 96 basis points higher at 4.36% at the end of 2013 compared to 3.40% at year end 2012 -- combined with the lack of any new surprises in the municipal finance space and concerns about the short-term valuations and prospects for both fixed income and equities could all have likely helped to contribute to the uptick in flows," writes senior research analyst Barry Fennell in a Lipper report.
Last year, the muni bond fund market was roiled with news of the Detroit bankruptcy as well as the continuing financial turmoil in Puerto Rico, a favorite for investors because of its higher yield and exemption from federal, state, and local taxes. Unfunded municipal employee pensions in Illinois and California also unnerved tax-free investors in 2013.

Conehead Termites
Conehead termites are an invasive species native to the Caribbean that was first introduced to the U.S. in 2001. They were originally called "tree termites," but were renamed conehead termites to alleviate the misconception that this pest is only found in trees.
Dampwood Termites
As the name suggests, dampwood termites infest wood with high moisture content. Dampwood termites are normally larger in size than other termite species.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites can be avoided by making sure firewood and scrap wood is stored at least 20 feet from the home. Another drywood termite treatment tactic is to seal all cracks and crevices around the foundation of the home. Homeowners should also routinely inspect the property for signs of drywood termites, paying special attention to window and doorframes, trim, eaves, siding and attics.
Formosan Termites
Formosan termite control begins with eliminating sources of moisture both inside and outside of the home. Inside, homeowners should reduce humidity in crawl spaces, attics and basements with proper ventilation. Outdoors, divert water away from the home's foundation to prevent Formosan termite access with properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks. Homeowners should also store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home and maintain a one-inch gap between soil and wood portions of the home.
Subterranean Termites
The best method of subterranean termite control is to avoid water accumulation near the foundation of the home. Prevent subterranean termite access by diverting water away with properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks. Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home, and keep mulch at least 15 inches from the foundation. Indoors, homeowners should reduce humidity through proper ventilation of crawl spaces, attics and basements to avoid attracting subterranean termite swarms.

Lindsey Vonn Keeps Winning
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
We're big fans of Lindsey Vonn, so it does our hearts proud to see her dominate the sport that made her famous. And dominating it, she is. In fact, since the calendar turned, Vonn has pretty much dominated women's skiing, and early today, she added another trophy to her ever-expanding case by becoming the first American woman to win the women's World Cup title in back-to-back fashion.
Not only is Vonn dominating her sport, she's doing things no other American female skier has ever done. That alone deserves recognition. When you add her easy-on-the-eyes qualities, it's no wonder the sports blogosphere has a special place for Lindsey. CBS Sports has more on Vonn's dominating performance:
The American completed the 1.6-mile Olympia course at the World Cup finals in 1 minute, 42.49 seconds after posting the fastest splits all the way down.
"It's amazing," Vonn said. "It's been a long season and it's been really difficult and challenging, but I'm really happy that it's over."
She needed at least an eighth-place finish to win the title again… With three races left at the finals, Vonn has an insurmountable lead in the overall standings with 1,688 points.
This time, Lindsey, just make sure you don't gash your hands during the celebrations.
