Serves 25 to 30
Yields 4 to 6 lb. bacon
You won't believe how much better the flavor and texture of homemade bacon are compared to its store-bought counterpart. The process is simple: you brine a fresh pork belly to season it inside and out, then smoke it gently on your grill. You can experiment with different flavors (see the variations below), or play around with the type of hardwood sawdust you use to smoke the bacon; apple and hickory are two favorites, but feel free to use whatever wood you like best.
Pour 1 gallon of cold water into a 12-quart nonreactive container, such as a plastic storage tub or stainless-steel pot or bowl. Add the salt and sugar and stir until dissolved.
Put the pork pieces in the brine, weighting them down with a plate if necessary to keep them completely submerged. Cover the container and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Remove the pork from the brine, stir the brine a few times, and then return the pork to the brine. Refrigerate for another 24 hours.
Drain the pork and discard the brine. Rinse the pork in cold water and pat dry. If using the black pepper, evenly sprinkle it all over the pork.
If using a charcoal grill, open all the vents. Remove the grill grate and put a 4x8-inch disposable foil loaf pan on the charcoal grate. Put 5 cups of the sawdust in the loaf pan. If using a gas grill, disconnect the propane and put the pan on a back corner of the grill grate. (You won't be lighting the burners—you're essentially using the grill as a smoker.)
Light 5 charcoal briquettes in a chimney starter. When the briquettes are glowing and completely covered with gray ash, transfer them with tongs to the sawdust, spacing them evenly in the pan. If using a charcoal grill, replace the grill grate.
When the sawdust begins to smolder, arrange the pork pieces fat side up on the grill grate to the side of the loaf pan. Space the pieces at least 1 inch apart to allow the smoke to circulate around them. Cover the grill and insert a metal instant-read thermometer into a vent hole in the lid or lay it on the grate to monitor the grill temperature—it should be between 80°F and 120°F. If the temperature rises above 120°F, remove 1 or more briquettes or partially uncover the grill until the temperature falls.
Stir the sawdust with tongs every 1-1/2 hours to ignite any that's unburned, and add more sawdust, 1 cup at a time, to the loaf pan as the sawdust turns to ash. You want a good amount of smoke rising out of the vents.
After 3 hours, rotate the position of the pork to ensure even smoking. As long as you monitor the sawdust and the day is not too humid or wet, you probably won't need to add more briquettes. If your sawdust does stop burning, however, light more briquettes in the chimney on a flameproof surface and reignite the sawdust.
The total smoking time will be 5 to 6 hours. Depending on the breed of pork and the duration of smoking, the bacon may become a brownish-yellow color. It will still be raw, however. The bacon will look dry on the meaty side, and the fat may be glistening with moisture. Pat the moisture off with paper towels and cool the bacon completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until firm before slicing.
You can store the bacon either in slices or large pieces (slabs). To store sliced bacon, shingle the slices in small, individually wrapped batches. Tightly wrapped in plastic, bacon will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. If you've frozen the bacon in slabs, let it defrost in the refrigerator for a couple of hours until it's soft enough to slice with a sharp knife. (It's easier to slice thinly when partially frozen.) Slice off what you need and then refreeze the rest, tightly wrapped. Either way, thaw completely before cooking.
If cooking no more than 8 slices of bacon, fry them in a 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat, turning frequently, until browned and as crisp as you like.
If cooking more than 8 slices, arrange the bacon in a single layer on a wire rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 350°F oven, turning once with tongs, until done to your liking.
Either way, drain the bacon on paper towels and serve hot.
Bourbon variation
Barley malt syrup and bourbon add an earthy sweetness to this twist on the master recipe: Substitute 2/3 cup (6 oz.) packed dark brown sugar for the light brown
sugar. Add 1 cup barley malt syrup and 1 cup bourbon (such as Maker's
Mark) once the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the pork belly and
brine as instructed above. Try smoking this bacon over oak sawdust because bourbon is aged in oak barrels, so the flavors go well together.Maple variation Fenugreek enhances the flavor of the maple sugar and syrup in this brine: Substitute 1 cup (about 6 oz.) maple sugar for the brown sugar. Add 1
cup maple syrup, 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract, and 2 tsp. ground
fenugreek once the salt and maple sugar are dissolved. Add the pork
belly and brine as instructed above. Maple sawdust is a natural fit here, but cherry would work, too.

7/30/2012You get one or the other when cold smoking; use of nitrites, or use of salts (brine). These are both preservative ingredients, prolong shelf life and allow for cold smoking without compromise to food safety or value of flavor. So, the reviewer who talked about food safety 101, is almost correct, but not completely so. There is so much more science that just a temperature safety zone. This process is safe.
Also, the author mentioned infusion with different flavored liquids such as bourbon...brilliant idea! Smoke this belly, use a bourbon based brine, grill some peaches, and make a BPL themed cobb salad (bacon, peach, bib lettuce, and a beautiful Gorgonzola. Oh my, oh my, oh my! take me to heaven now!

7/27/2012This is our first time making bacon - it was a great experience! We are enjoying the bacon, but it is a little salty. Is the amount of salt needed due to the lack of nitrates? We will use a "skin on" pork belly next time - pictures seemed to contradict recipe (as well as our meat butcher's recommendation). We will definitely make this again with some tweaks.
by Pielove,
7/6/2012Delicious and fun to make! Because bacon browns a lot when you cook it, I didn't miss the pink color from addition of nitrates at all. I did find it a bit too salty-- if you compare to other recipes-- for example, Alton Brown's recipe uses a lot less salt for the same amount of brine-- although he does not specify what kind of salt (too bad he didn't have FC's editors), so it's hard to tell how much less salt.
by FrozenTundra,
7/5/2012Without using any cure #1 you will not get the pinkish meat or the bacon flavor.
It is not be safe to keep it at such a low temperature for 5-6 hours....... that's basic food safety 101

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Jim Kuhnhenn / The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a blistering warning to congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama said Monday it would be the "height of irresponsibility" for lawmakers to cause a new economic crisis just five years after the near-collapse of the nation's financial system.
President Barack Obama speaks about the economy at the White House on Monday in Washington. He reiterated his refusal to negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling.
The Associated Press
"I cannot remember a time when one faction of one party promises economic chaos if it can't get 100 percent of what it wants," Obama said, contending that the stance of some conservative lawmakers amounts to just that.
Some of those Republicans say they will vote to extend current spending levels or to increase the nation's debt ceiling only if Obama delays putting in place his health care law, a condition Obama has rejected. Others say scheduled spending cuts should stay in place to reduce the deficit, while Obama wants the "sequestration" cuts reworked.
The president spoke at a White House event pegged to the fifth anniversary of the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers investment bank, which marked the beginning of a global financial crisis. The White House used the anniversary to lay out the president's markers for upcoming fiscal fights with Congress over funding the government and raising the nation's debt limit.
Obama's remarks came as local and federal authorities dealt with the deadly shootings at the Washington Navy Yard, just a few miles from the White House. At least 12 people were killed, authorities said.
Obama delayed his remarks to allow Washington's mayor and police chief to update the public on the situation. He pledged to make sure "whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible."
In the remarks, the president reiterated his refusal to negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling. And he called on Congress to "pass a budget without drama."
The president was flanked by Americans the White House says have benefited from his administration's economic and banking policies. Those policies, he said, have laid a "new foundation" for economic growth, though he acknowledged that the recovery is not being felt by many middle class people.
The White House's National Economic Council on Sunday issued a report detailing policies that it says have helped put the economy on a path toward growth. Those steps range from the unpopular Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that shored up the financial industry and bailed out auto giants General Motors and Chrysler, to an $800 billion stimulus bill to sweeping new bank regulations.
Gene Sperling, a top Obama adviser and director of the National Economic Council, said Obama's policies "have performed better than virtually anyone at the time predicted."
But the public is not convinced that the economy is on the mend. Only one-third say the economic system is more secure now than in 2008, and 52 percent say they disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, according to a Pew Research Center poll. There is still plenty of pain to justify their pessimism.
Despite job growth, the unemployment rate remains high at 7.3 percent. Though the rate has fallen, one of the reasons is because some people have dropped out of the labor force and no longer are counted as job seekers. The share of unemployed workers who have been unemployed for more than six months is more than double what it was in 2007 before the recession began. And the income gap between the very rich and the rest of the population is the biggest since 1928.
What's more, some banks that received government aid because they were deemed "too big to fail" are now bigger than they were in 2008, although they are smaller as a share of the economy than the largest banks in other big economies. Three years after Obama signed a sweeping overhaul of lending and high-finance rules, execution of that law is behind schedule.

Cyprus: Focus Friends of the Earth Cyprus
Loukia Pavlidou, President of the Friends of the Earth, Cyprus talks about accession to the european union and genetic modification
Friends of the Earth Cyprus was established in the early eighties when the environmental movement in Cyprus was still in its embryonic stage. We are part of the Friends of the Earth European Network and a member of the international network, the largest grass roots environmental movement with members in more than 68 countries and millions of members all over the world. It's gratifying to feel part of this international environmental movement. This the feeling of solidarity inspires us, and guides our actions to tackle the pressing
environmental problems on a local, national, regional or an international level.
Often, however, our enthusiasm is overtaken by frustration and disappointment when under pressure from urgent problems, when we don't get enough support from our government or can't recruit enough volunteers to bring about the changes we want quickly enough. read more
Friends of the Earth Cyprus has around 300 members, including institutional members such as schools, and private companies. We are a member of the Federation of Ecological and Environmental Organizations of Cyprus, and of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB). Our overall goal is to raise public awareness on the importance of preserving the natural environment, and to campaign for solutions to environmental problems, by promoting sustainable policies. As a member of the European Union, we are committed to the principles and policies set out by the 6th Environmental Action Plan of the DG Environment of the European Union.
One of the new challenges is the harmonization of Cyprus with the European Environmental Acquis, which includes the implementation of important legislation on subjects such as Biodiversity, Natura 2000, GMO and Water, which we hope will benefit Cyprus.
We actively participated in the European enlargement process, and worked closely with Friends of the Earth organizations in all candidate countries to assist in the harmonization process with respect to the Environmental European Aquis. We are happy that Cyprus is now a full member of the European Union, believing that our membership will have a positive impact on the state of the environment in Cyprus. In addition, we expect to benefit from the funding of environmental projects.
gm food
Under the general theme of Sustainable
Agriculture, this year we put emphasis
on Food Safety, Organic Agriculture and GM
Our purpose is to raise public awareness and to put pressure on the government to declare Cyprus a GMO free zone. The campaigns have received strong local and national support. We are carrying out a number of activities which include presentations to school groups, workshops, seminars and round table discussions. We made several TV and radio appearances, often with experts who we brought from Greece. Among the most effective programs is our monthly lectures which we hold at the specially renovated premises in our head office in Limassol.
Educational weekend in Agros - explanation of the production of rose water and other rose products. Other campaigns include waste management and recycling, sustainable tourism, sustainable agriculture and food safety, climate and environmental education. Particular emphasis is given to the preservation and protection of two important ecosystems, the Akrotiti wetlands, and the Akamas Peninsula. These two ecosystems that provide habitat for millions of migrant birds every year and host important species of indigenous plants and wildlife, are threatened by military installations by the British Bases in Cyprus, and by unsustainable tourism and land development activities.
Friends of the Earth Cyprus is a partner to the European Community Centers project, coordinated by the University of Malta under the Grundvig program. This is a "bottom up" approach of strengthening the civil society and building democracy by drawing citizens and NGOs into the decision making process at the community level. The accomplishments of this pilot project in its first year have been very significant in promoting sustainable tourism and among others, in supporting prevention and rehabilitation programs for drug users.

Skipped a few -- okay, a lot of -- runs lately? "Take baby steps to get back in the game. Most people build mileage too quickly," says Brad Hudson, a coauthor of Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon. Steal his secrets to nix the pains and strains of reentry.

Belly Up
The week before you hit the road, track, or treadmill, focus on your core and on cross-training. "Do ab exercises and get on a bike or elliptical to build your leg muscles without impact," Hudson says. "The cardio will also increase your endurance."
Go Halfsies
If you used to rack up 10 miles a week, begin with two to three miles twice a week and "then increase your total mileage each week by at least 10 percent, adding on more running days, until you're back on schedule," Hudson says.
Downsize Your Stride
Your first month back, run at a leisurely pace and take small steps, especially if you're dealing with still-snowy terrain. "Aim to strike with your midfoot, which has more surface area than your heel, to keep yourself steady," Hudson suggests.

The Plan: From Couch to Cruising
This 30-day jump start from coach Brad Hudson will ease you back into a double-digit weekly mileage injury-free. Starting with the week-one plan below, you'll tack on mileage gradually. In week two, increase each run by one mile or hold steady, depending on how you feel. Continue adding a mile to your runs each week thereafter and swap in a 3- or 4-mile run on Sundays.
|Run 2 miles at an easy pace. Finish with a light total-body toning session that hits all your major muscles: Do a couple of sets of planks, step-ups, lunges and burpees.
|Cross-train: Do a 40-minute bike or elliptical workout at an intensity level of 7 out of 10 (at which speech gets choppy).
|Cross-train: Do a 40-minute bike or elliptical workout at level-7 intensity; add six ab exercises, such as the surefire firmers at fitnessmagazine.com/powerabs.

THE ex-boyfriend of a popular Raymond Terrace woman has pleaded guilty to her chilling murder, keeping her lifeless body under his bed before dumping her body in the boot of his abandoned car.
Marcus John Lee, 31, of Laurel Avenue, Edgeworth, pleaded guilty via audio visual link in Newcastle Local Court yesterday where a brief of evidence was tendered, including a transcript of his interview with police.
Lee pleaded guilty to murdering popular karaoke singer Trisha Cobeanou saying he "knocked her off" because of an alleged cash debt of $50, later stashing her body in the boot of his car.
Lee was out drinking with 27-year-old Ms Cobeanou at the Hamilton Station Hotel on April 16 when they decided to go back to his place, a small shed at a wreckers' yard in Islington.
He lost count of how many drinks he had that night but he could still walk, he told police.
Back at his place, he asked Ms Cobeanou about money she owed him and reached for her handbag to retrieve her wallet when he was struck over the head, he said.
The next thing he remembered was waking up to find her lifeless body on the floor next to his bed with a garbage bag over her head, secured by silver duct tape wound around her neck.
"Trisha Cobeanou was deceased on me (sic) floor . . ." Lee told police.
"At that stage, with me being in a panic, not thinking clearly, I bagged up the body with duct tape and garbage bags, had it underneath the bed for that day until it was night time, and I put it in the boot of my (car)."
He later said he had "a problem".
"If I do get hit in the head, I blank out, and I have a loss of memory . . . yeah, that's basically it," he said.
"When I got hit in the head, I think that was just the final straw me body could take. I just snapped and went to a different personality."
Lee left Ms Cobeanou's body in the boot of his car outside the wrecker's yard for one week before deciding to dump her body in nearby bushland, court documents reveal.
He got into his car about 7pm on April 24 and was driving along Newcastle Road when he noticed his car was having mechanical issues and he had to pull over, making it only as far as Lambton.
He parked his car there and left it, with Ms Cobeanou's body still in the boot.
He later reported his car stolen.
Two weeks later he phoned his brother and told him he had "knocked someone off" and put them into the boot of his car over a money dispute, and that he must have strangled her.
He handed himself in to police on May 9. A post-mortem revealed the cause of death to be strangulation.
When asked how much money he thought he was owed, Lee said $50 from the last time he lent Ms Cobeanou money, but that she owed him more.
"Over a couple of thousand dollars, mate," he said.
At the time of her death, friends described Ms Cobeanou as "a beautiful soul" who regularly entertained the Hamilton Station Hotel crowd with her favourite song, I Will Survive.
"She looked after people and cared for other people more than herself," one said. "She was just a lovely woman who would never hurt anyone and it is just devastating."
The matter was adjourned to the Supreme Court for sentence in July.

Texas blues dates back as far as the early 1900's but this collection of 50 licks focuses on the Texas blues scene that exploded on to the mainstream in the late 60's and early 70's. Heavily influenced by southern rock, blues-rock, slide and a dash of jazz, this modern style of Texas blues features the heavy use of memorable electric guitar riffs, blazing solos, exciting rhythm patterns and tasty turnarounds, all of which are showcased in this handpicked collection of 50 Texas Blues Licks You MUST Know.
Video Introduction

About the Guitar Lesson Plan

Artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, his brother Jimmy Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Johnny Winter, Freddie King, Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top, T-Bone Walker and Eric Johnson are all synonymous with the style along with many other notable guitarists.
No one has a better grip on Texas blues guitar, and no one is better qualified to take you on this Texas blues learning adventure than Corey Congilio. Corey dug deep and wide to compile this perfectly balanced collection of turnarounds, rhythm patterns, progressions and artist-inspired lickage. You'll learn how to apply techniques and melodic devices like major-minor pentatonic phrases, octaves, double and triple-stops, repetitive phrases, pre-bends, half and full bends, intervallic leaps, hammer-ons, pull-offs, muting, scratches, rakes and many more of the essentials required to play authentic Texas blues electric guitar.
50 Texas Blues Licks You MUST Know has it all and much more; these 50 licks, rhythm patterns and turnarounds will round out your Texas blues bag with enough solid material to keep you sounding fresh and distinctive in any musical setting be it jams with the buds, cover band work, and even writing your own original compositions.

TELLURIDE – To create a one-of-a-kind signature centerpiece for the Telluride region's annual holiday season celebration Telluride Holiday Prelude, organizers are asking for old, used skis to build the Telluride Ski Tree.
This year's Telluride Holiday Prelude takes place from Dec. 4-15, and features a host of events including Noel Night, a Fire and Ice Skating Party and Mountain Village Winter Fest to name a few. It features the lighting of the Telluride Ski Tree on Dec. 6, which will become the centerpiece of Telluride's holiday season. To make the Telluride Ski Tree a reality, old skis are still needed.
"I think we've gotten more than 100 skis so far but the more skis we have, the better," Holiday Prelude organizing committee member Ted Wilson says. "We really want to make it a truly cool piece of art for the holidays."
Local metal artist Anton Viditz-Ward is creating the Telluride Ski Tree, which will be on display in Elks Park during this and future holiday season. The 12- to 15-foot tree made of skis will be decorated with lights, complete with a ski pole starburst on top. Skis of all sizes and ages are acceptable for the tree; even broken and single skis will do. Many of the skis donated for the project will be cut to create branches and natural tapering of the tree. Old aluminum ski poles, which can be cut, are also needed.
"We are shooting for 300 skis, but that is just an estimate," organizing committee member Daiva Chesonis says. "This has never been done so we don't know, he is going to build it off of what feels right."
Once built, the Telluride Ski Tree will be placed in Elks Park and the tree lighting celebration on Dec. 6 will come with a ceremonial ski burn "led" by the Norse winter god Ullr.
Wilson says the Telluride Ski Tree offers a way for the region to celebrate its identity in a unique way during the holidays similar to the lobster trap trees found in Maine.
"We really want to create a signature piece for the holidays," Wilson says. "Something that says, 'Merry Christmas' – but 'Merry Christmas in Telluride.' It's basically inspired by the lobster trap trees in New England, where you take an object that identifies a community and turn it into something festive."
With an expected height of 12-15-feet, the ski tree will start a tradition, organizers hope, symbolizing the Telluride Holiday Prelude and the town's festive holiday spirit. Wilson adds that Viditz-Ward is just the artist to create such a symbol.
"He is so well know for building unique objects of art," Wilson says. "Everyone was blown away with the stuff he's built for Burning Man. He has a real talent for building big and impressive pieces."
Skis can be dropped off any time at two locations: Underneath the deck behind Between the Covers Bookstore (224 W. Colorado Ave.) and in front of Customs House (135 W. Pacific Ave.). Donors may personalize the front portion of the top ski, but there are no guarantees where skis will end up on the tree.

A semi-tractor truck that leaked about 100 gallons of diesel fuel onto Weber Road at Normantown forced the closure of two lanes of traffic for more than nine hours Monday, Romeoville Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Mike Flaherty said.
The leak was caused by the truck losing one of its fuel tanks while it was in the southbound turn lane waiting to turn east on to Normantown Road, Flaherty said in a news release on the incident.
A Romeoville Level 2 Hazmat response team was called to the scene at about 8 a.m. to contain the fuel while a clean-up company removed the substance, he said. The work took all day, finishing after 5 p.m. and causing major traffic congestion in the area, he said.
The Romeoville Police and Public Works departments and the Romeoville Emergency Management Agency also assisted at the scene.

KRNV Channel 4 recently reported on a series of clashes Jung has had with local law enforcement, one of which resulted in Jung being handcuffed in the back of a squad car.
Former Washoe County Court Security Officer Christy Richer told News 4 that in December 2009 Jung's boots set off the metal detector when she was trying to enter the Washoe County courthouse. Angry and abusive to Richer about having to remove them, Jung reportedly stated, "I will not be treated like this in my courthouse."
So Jung was teed off because she had to remove her boots and walk through the metal detectors in "her" courthouse with the rest of the great unwashed. OK, she's a snob. I get it. What horrifies me is an ensuing phone call to Assistant Sheriff Marshall Emerson. "[Y]ou know, we're going to budget. I'm not going to be too happy to provide for you guys over here," Jung said, while standing next to the metal detector she didn't feel she had to pass through. The internal sheriff's office report detailing the incident states about Commissioner Jung, "She has made it quite apparent ... that she intends to use her official office to retaliate against this agency."
Yup. An elected official threatened to use the powers of her office to damage her subordinates because they dared ask her to follow the rules the rest of us live by. The nerve of that security guard, how dare she follow protocol!
Maybe she just had a bad taste in her mouth after a 2008 incident at the courthouse. A memo has surfaced that details an incident in which Jung attempted to bring a firearm and two speed loaders through security. Jung reportedly "raised her voice" and told a sergeant "she didn't need the lecture." Although in violation of state law for carrying a firearm into a government building, Jung was not arrested, however her gun was confiscated while she was on the premises.
Jung's contempt for law enforcement isn't limited only to the sheriff's office. In 2011, Jung had an alcohol-fueled scuffle with Reno police. Jung went to a neighbor's house to check on a friend's daughter and Reno police say Jung tried to enter the home, but officers had to hold her back because she was interfering with a police investigation. According to police documents, Jung had to be physically restrained. Reports state that Jung screamed at the officers saying, "Get your f**king hands off me! Do you know who I am? I'm the f**king county commissioner!"
While being handcuffed, Jung screamed, "I just beat your ass. You're a pu**y, how embarrassing for you. What a dork. You're such a dork; I just beat your ass!"
Reports have also recently surfaced that Jung attempted to meddle in the Brianna Denison case. Two former Reno Police officers who headed up the investigation say Jung verbally assaulted them during the investigation.
The officers claim that in the midst of the investigation, Jung was angry her house was outside the search perimeter. She wanted officers to expand that perimeter by at least a mile, to include her home on University Terrace. When Jung didn't get her way she reportedly berated the officers handling the case, rather than take her concerns through the proper chain of command.
"The fact that Ms. Jung decided to insert herself into an investigation is concerning to me. It was a distraction at the time. Just the fact that she was so, not just critical but attackingly so," says Chuck Lovitt, a retired police sergeant who was assigned to the case.
Denison's murderer, James Biela, was subsequently caught, tried and convicted of kidnap, rape and murder. He now sits on Nevada's death row awaiting execution.
Let's face it. We've all snapped at a serviceperson or cut someone off in traffic, but Jung's actions are reprehensible. To compound the matter, Jung has responded to these allegations by claiming that her opponent, Neoma Jardon is somehow behind them. This is nonsensical. Jardon does not have some magic power over Channel 4, and there is extensive documentation supporting law enforcement's version of these incidents.
Not only has Jung been contemptuous, obnoxious and downright classless, her actions are an abuse of her power. Jung was not elected so she could drunkenly throw around her title or bypass the rules we all have to live by; she was elected to faithfully serve the residents of Washoe County.
Character matters, and Jung has shown very little. The fact that Sheriff Michael Haley has withdrawn his endorsement as a result of her actions demonstrates that her base of support is starting to fracture. As a leader in our community, Jung should stand firm in her support of those who risk their lives every day to keep us safe, not attack, abuse and drunkenly berate them.
Kitty Jung, it is time for you to publicly and humbly apologize to each and every officer you have assaulted. No more statements from your campaign manager, no more running away from reporters. These officers put their lives on the line for you. It's about time you treated them with the dignity and respect you so nastily demand from them.

Well-executed restaurant wine service is a filter that deters flawed wines from flowing into guests' glasses. At times, it may seem pretentious and drawn out, but the wine bottle-opening ceremony is rooted in history, and rich with merit and purpose.
When your ordered bottle of wine
arrives at the table, the server should
clearly state the producer, vintage, region
(e.g. Chianti) or varietal. Take a glance at
the label to verify that the wine about to
be opened matches what you ordered. Pay
special attention to the vintage; incorrect
vintages are often served.
Before you have a chance to taste the
wine, the cork is presented. Many guests
feel compelled to do something with it.
This step is an anti-counterfeit measure.
The producer's name—and, in rare and
collectible wines, the vintage—is branded
on the cork. Wine labels are easy to forge;
corks aren't.
Sniffing a cork reveals little beyond
how a plug of tree bark smells. Visual
inspection provides a rough track record of
the wine's storage. Long staining
streaks indicate a time
of temperature variance
when air may have seeped
in, causing oxidation. If the
cork is brittle and crumbles
in your hand, the wine may
have been stored upright or
in a very arid environment. Both
instances are warning signs, nothing
more. What matters most is in the bottle. It
would better serve you to take a whiff of the
empty glass and make sure it doesn't smell
of detergent, dust or mildew. Ask to feel the
bottle to make sure it isn't warm; red wine
bottles should feel cool to the touch.
Now just swirl, sniff and taste. Swirling
incorporates oxygen and encourages the
aromatic compounds in the wine to become
airborne; that's why wine nerds are incessantly
twirling and sniffing at their glasses
like a dog on the scent of a bitch in heat.
If the wine smells like, well, wine—you
know: like fruit, maybe earth, wood and, in
some French bottlings, a natural fertilizer—
then go ahead and give the
nod of approval or say something
mundane like, "It's great, but it
needs to breathe." If the wine
is sound but not your favorite,
better luck next time. If it's
flawed, reject it and reorder.
Taste each successive
bottle; they're just as
likely to be flawed as
the first.
This whole tasting
ritual began
centuries ago,
when naturally
cloudy wines were
the perfect conduit to
poison a rival or nemesis.
To prove the soundness of a
wine, the would-be host would
taste from a bottle or carafe
before the guest as a gesture
of camaraderie and friendship and,
ultimately, as proof the wine was not poisoned.
This led to the raising of the glass
by the guest as a sign of trust. The glasses
would then be clanked together, followed by
reassuring words of the solidarity of their
friendship—hence the modern-day toast.
Let's backtrack to the "let it breathe"
statement. If you
do feel the wine is
a bit stingy with its
aromatics and will
benefit from air
contact, then let it
breathe. Don't just
leave it in the bottle
with empty glasses.
Partially fill your
glasses and swirl
away or, even better,
ask if the restaurant
has a decanter
(a fancy carafe
designed to increase
the wine-to-air surface
contact). Letting
your wine breathe in
the bottle is like snorkeling
with a straw.
I've been sent 'round and
'round tables as the host passes
the tasting duties to other
guests as a sign of "generosity."
In fact, it's exactly the opposite.
Flawed wines are in the minority, but
they're out there and can be awful. If you're
the host, play your part. And remember:
Sniffing corks is silly.

(KFTV/CNN) – California lawmakers announced new legislation for emergency drought funding Wednesday.
Governor Jerry Brown said it was a "call to action."
The massive $687 million bill provides funding for food and housing for workers directly impacted by the drought.
Money will also go toward getting new water-conserving technologies up and running, like projects to collect water that's normally lost to evaporation or that flows into the ocean.
The legislation also lays the groundwork for future state initiatives to use recycled water to capture more storm water.

Hide text image replacement question
I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing here.
I am using bootstrap with a site, and as my logo is an img, I did this to keep it accessible:
Code CSS:
.logo H1{ text-indent: -999em; }
It worked fine. I found in the bootstrap less file , the new trick :
Code CSS:
.hide-text { overflow: hidden; text-indent: 100%; white-space: nowrap; }
However, with both techniques, the H1 was still part of my document 'flow' , and interrupting a nav element I was trying to place in the site. I could not figure it out, until I saw that the reason my nav item started half way up the page was thanks to this H1 I had shoot halfway up the road. It was still appearing in the flow and bumping things along.
So I remembered from my study that setting position to absolute takes an element out of the document flow, and it worked.
Code CSS:
.logo H1{ text-indent: -999em; position:absolute; }
Question is, do I have anything to worry about here, or is it ok. What did I miss, surely this issue has something to do with my markup? It might have been the Jango in the background I don;t know. sorry, I can;t show you my site as it's hosted on an unbuntu server on my machine and I could not show you if I wanted to as it's not in prod. Cheers (I read over it hope I am making sense).I now know a few things, I am slowly getting there. If I can help you with simple stuff I will try, site point is a great place!

I am a young Army female that is expecting in March 2010. i am kind of confused and alone with no other females to talk to about my pregnancy. if you have any advice or words please feel free to offer advice.
Welcome to the website. This is terrific way to get involved with other moms. Everyone is very nice and supportive. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
This is my first pregnancy and I've been visiting the boards since I first found out, about 5wks into the pregnancy. I am due in about 4 wks. The best advice that I can give you is take good care of yourself. Dont stress over the little things and take everything one day at a time. At times the pregnancy can seem a little tough to bear but everything works out for the best. Enjoy it while it lasts.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Hello! Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy! I am also due in March. Having a support system is def. important. Joining a club or a group doing an activity that you enjoy is a great way to meet new people. Contact the hospital and ask if there are any groups for expentant moms. You will learn about your pregnancy while meeting new moms you can bond with. Joining this site is a great place to ask questions and voice your concerns. We are here to help! Congrats again!
Congratulations! You've certainly come to the right place. StrongMoms has a great community that you can turn to 24/7 for support or questions. It's tough when you're away from family. Is there any way you can keep in touch with old friends? Facebook is also a great tool for staying connected.
Hello and welcome to the site. I am due with my 4th child in October so if you have any questions, feel free to bounce them around the site. There are tons of qualified mommies out there with some great advice. Having a baby is a bit overwhelming for everyone.....even if it is your 4th! There are always moments of confusion and fear. Just make sure that you are talking things over with your doctor and letting him/her know about your feelings. There may be something they can do to put your mind at ease and help you feel better.
Do you have a good support system? Never underestimate the ability of your friends and family to help you along through this important time. I am glad that you chose Strong Moms and welcome to the boards!!!
Congratulations! I think the moms who have already responded have shown you the quality of people who regularly respond to any questions.
I guess my only addition is to ask if there someone in the military who can help you answer some of the important questions you might have, whether they deal with the time you need to take or the health issues you will face.
Once again, congratulations and best of luck with your pregnancy. Thanks for serving our country and protecting all of our babies!
Congrats on your pregnancy! I understand how you must be feeling. I was prior military and got out in 2003. In 2001 I was a PFC and got pregnant, and at the time was looking at facing being a single mom. I felt like things were hard and my unit was not supportive because they cared about the mission at hand and not care about the individual, and it was a double negative being pregnant. With my unit I was sent to work in another office where there were other pregnant soldiers. (I was an M.P. so I definetly couldn't stay at the unit an work). That helped me out because I had other pregnant soldiers to talk to both on being pregnant and army stuff. I was stationed in Texas and still live here. With the army hospital here I know that there are sessions that are held with the midwives or/doctors with a group of women that are pregnant. So its like a group appt. I would check with ur military hospital to see if they have something like that. Its awkward getting to know other people, but you all have something in common, healthy babies. It is nice to share moments of when you first felt the baby kick or move and have someone just as excited as you are to know. I really hope my post helps out, and worst case scenerio now you know you have other interested online friends to help as well.

Well we know the "right" answer is to replace the tub, but we all have to live with some other reality some time, so here goes:
1. There is a rubber gasket on the underside of the tub between the drainshoe and the tub bottom. That has to be replaced anyway, so reach in and pull it out. Use some sandpaper to gently clean the underside ot the tub around the hole.
2. Clean up around the rusted hole with some fine sandpaper. Get some good epoxy putty such as Rectorseal 400. Put some masking tape temporarily on the underside. Fill in the hole, using a plastic scraper to make the patch more or less flush with the tub surface.
3. When the epoxy sets, install the new rubber gasket on the underside. I would coat this on both sides with some silicone caulk; use clear 100% silicone caulk on the underside of the shoe as you screw that back in. One the shoe is tightened, if any part of the patched area is visible, I would ensure that some silicone covers it completely. Let all this set up.
4. If this was a big leak and you have opened the ceiling underneath to repair drywall, I would add this step, which is a top secret plumbing trick not to ever be used unless authorized by deep throat: I would take a brush and completely encase the underside tub drain shoe area with Henry's 208 roof patch (tar). You must understand that this is a permanent and non-reversible step. Your next move if there is ever any other problem is to remove the tub ( or add more Henry's). Most folks here will probably criticize this step. I have used it many times in just this circumstance where it is not possible to do the "proper" repair for some reason ( usually financial) and you just want to make sure this does not leak for a long time. It has never failed me. It doesn't look pretty,but sometimes..............
