Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

There Isn't A Single Stock Panel On This '49 Chevy
Robert Henderson of Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a guy's guy. watches college football every Saturday, and he loves to build custom rides. He's also got affection for the '47-'55 Chevy trucks, also known as the Advanced Design series. This isn't his first AD truck. Last time around, Robert built a '54 Chevy truck for his wife and did a total Pro Street makeover on the beast. By the time it was done though, Robert felt like something was missing, like he needed to do it again, but this time go much, much further with the build. He happened to have a '49 that 35 years prior had started life on a farm, so why not turn the old truck into his newest project? Ten thousand dollars later and it was on a trailer to Robert's house, never to be stock again.
Robert had a plan, and it was pretty simple: If it was on the truck, it had to be modified. The truck was stripped down to nothing, with every part put into bags and labeled, and then the frame was set up to be worked on. Robert knew he wanted an independent front end, so he went to a junkyard and scored a front clip from a '69 Camaro. Once he got the clip though, he decided to scrap the stock frame and build a new one out of 2x3 tubing. With the front end hung, he needed something to work well for the rear, so he went with a tried-and-true leaf-spring rear suspension, which was mated to a 12-bolt Chevy rearend.
With the frame handled, it was time to bang out the motor. Another trip to the 'yard scored a '79 small-block Chevy V-8, which was bored out to 400 cubic inches. The motor was assembled with quality parts like a Holley intake manifold, Dart heads, and a Crane cam. Then the motor was mated to a Tremec transmission with a Zoom clutch, completing the drivetrain. Of course, none of it was kept stock, and there's plenty of chrome and polish work to make it all nice and pretty.
Next, it was time for the body. Robert wanted the cab to really make a statement, and nothing says hardcore like a 6-inch chop with a matching 6-inch channel. This process would end up becoming the most difficult part of the whole truck, since taking 6 inches out of the roof of a '49 Chevy isn't that easy. Robert got it done though, and the results speak for themselves. Another nice touch on the truck is the hood. Sure, it reverses forward on actuators, but that's not the really cool part. The cowl was hand-formed from a second hood from a donor '47-'55 Chevy truck. Once everything was perfectly sanded and cleaned up, it was sprayed House of Kolor Kandy Tangerine with gold ghost flames by Robert's buddy, Joe Fontana, of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The truck was reassembled, and Joe Fontana was called upon once again to put the finishing touches on the interior. The truck, now dubbed "Copperhead," needed something cool to stand out from the others. A customdyed orange tweed was combined with gray leather and expert stitchwork to create a one-of-a-kind custom interior. Flame designs were created with foam and stitching, and the rest of the dash was painted to match the truck. A custom steering wheel and 11 Auto Meter gauges round out the interior nicely.
It took a long time to build and a lot of sweat and blood were emptied into the truck, but in the end Robert knew it was all worth it. At the end of the day, he's a cool guy who loves his Kentucky football, his wife and his family, and a little truck named Copperhead.

Review: Insteon remote-control LED light bulb
The dream of a fully technology integrated and automated home can make a tech geek downright giddy: coffee machines that grind coffee and brew at a set hour, power sockets with built-in USB outlets, steaks cooked medium rare thanks to a Bluetooth thermometer. For every person who thinks a thermostat that learns personal temperature preferences is excessive, there's a tech geek who calls that cool.
Take the new LED bulb by Insteon. Released a couple of weeks ago, this bulb can be turned on, off or dimmed by remote control (included with bulb) or by iOS and Android apps. It's the next step in automating your home lighting: No special lamp attachments needed, no dimmer plates to attach to your wall. The bulb and remote communicate via radio frequency.
We tested the device and found installation to be simple. Hold down a button on the remote until it beeps, screw in the lightbulb, then wait for a confirmation double-beep from the remote and bulb. The setup worked the first time we tried. At $29.99, the Insteon bulb presents an easy, albeit limited, alternative to much more expensive home automation systems.

KANSAS CITY, Kan., June 26, 2012 -- Former JMU men's soccer CJ Sapong (JMU 2007-10) scored two goals in Sporting Kansas City's 3-0 victory over the Dayton Dutch Lions in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals Tuesday night.
The win moved Sporting KC into the Cup semifinals against the Philadelphia Union on July 11 at PPL Park.
Sapong opened the scoring in the game's fifth minute in fortuitous circumstance, finding himself in the right place at the right time to redirect Seth Sinovic's long-range shot mid-route. The deflection shifted Sinovic's shot to the opposite side of the goal, leaving Dayton goalkeeper Matt Williams out of position and unable to recover in time.
Sapong, the reigning Major League Soccer Rookie of the Year, continued to threaten on a night that would see him record a single-game career-high seven shots. In the 12th minute, his header went over the bar on a cross from Michael Harrington. One minute later, his shot from the left side went right at Williams.
Sporting Kansas City notched their second goal of the match in the 56th minute when Jacob Peterson received a cross from Seth Sinovic and tapped the ball back to Graham Zusi, who took a curling shot from 20 yards out that sailed around Williams and into the net.
Just three minutes later, Sapong scored his second goal of the match with a precise header off of a corner kick from Soony Saad. The goal, Sapong's fifth in U.S. Open Cup competition, moves him into a tie atop the team's all-time chart for goals in U.S. Open Cup play and the club improves to 13-0-0 in all competition when Sapong scores.
* Sapong's goal was the earliest goal scored by Sporting Kansas City in U.S. Open Cup play since Teal Bunbury scored in the 3rd minute last year against Chicago Fire PDL.
* CJ Sapong added his second goal of the evening in the 59th minute heading home a Soony Saad corner kick. With the goal, Sapong is now tied for first on the team's all-time chart with Davy Arnaud and Igor Stimutenkov with five goals scored in U.S. Open Cup competition.
* CJ Sapong had a career high in shots in all-competition with seven.
* Sporting Kansas City is 13-0-0 in all competition when CJ Sapong scores a goal.
Sporting Kansas City forward CJ Sapong
On Sporting KC's 3-0 victory over the Dayton Dutch Lions...
We showed good character tonight, responding well to our bad game Saturday. Even though they were a lower division team, they came here excited to play, and we stifled them. Tonight we played like we normally play, which is a very good thing to see going into our game Friday against Chicago.
On achieving his first multi-goal game for Sporting KC...
It feels great. Too many times I feel like I've scored a goal and then drifted out of a game. Today I didn't want to be content with one. Even though it was an Open Cup game, I'm glad to finally have a multi-goal game. Hopefully I can do that in league play.
On Sporting KC playing several games in a short time span...
We're definitely feeling the effects of the crowded schedule we have. But the good thing is everybody on this team can step up. Everyone on this team can have a positive impact. We have injuries and fatigue, but we can handle it.
On being two wins away from winning the U.S. Open Cup...
We want hardware. We want something to show for our hard work and our talent. Tonight we took a step closer to that. Obviously we are very excited to play Philadelphia again. We feel like we owe them something after what happened on Saturday.

Get started with your iControlPad
Thanks for buying an iControlpad.
Your iControlpad can be used with Android, iOS, Mac and PC.
Firstly, you will need to set up the universal holder, this is very simple, start by estimating the height it will need to be for your phone, and then use the push rivet to connect the holder to the square hole in the back of the iControlpad - you have to push the pin quite hard to click it in.
Next, if you want or need to, use the supplied sticky padding to make a nice snug fit for your phone. If you need to move the push rivet just use a pen to push the pin in, then holding the top pull it towards the iControlpad - the pin should then release. See this video for a detailed demonstration.
If you still need help, please post any problems/issues on the forum and you should get an answer within minutes.
It's always best to post on the forum before directly emailing us as it will be far faster. Only email us first with order related issues.
iPhone/iPad Support
How do I use the iControlPad with App Store games?
For iCade-supporting games, you need to start your iControlPad in iCade mode:
- Hold down A, B, X + Start
- The LED should flash quickly three times, confirming the mode change.
- Turn on your Bluetooth ( regular bluetooth, not BTStack )
- You should see the iControlPad, pair with it.
- If it asks for a pin, use 1234
- Fire up your game of choice
- Press some buttons!
- Note: If you don't get the three flashes you may have an older firmware on your iControlpad, this is easily updated, see below.
How do I pair the iControlPad with SNES9X/NES.emu/PCE.emu/MD.emu etc.
Getting the iControlPad to work with Robert Broglia's emulators is simple, if you know how:
- Turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone/iPad (yes, really)
- Fire up your emulator of choice
- Find the: "Scan for WiiMotes/iCP" menu option
- Power on your iControlPad by holding Start + Y
- Tap "Scan for WiiMotes/iCP"
With any luck, that should do the trick.
The iControlPad Wont Pair With My iOs Device
Only iCade mode and the keyboard HID mode are supported by your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch unless it is jailbroken.
When using the iControlPad with emulators such as MD.emu, you need not pair it with your iOS device first. Simply fire up the emulator and tap "Scan for Wiimotes/iCP"
Android Support
Apps Can't Access Bluetooth
If your handset does not allow apps to directly access Bluetooth (the app may say 'Bluetooth not accessible') please download and install the free app Bluez IME (from Android Market place).
In your language and keyboard settings allow Bluez IME input, within the Bluez IME interface you will be able to connect the iCP (use SPP mode).
It will now work as a keyboard/input in any app - just redefine the keys as you wish within the app, for example in SNES9X-EX (free iCP supporting app) you can do this in the options menu.
Tutorial Videos
Below are various help videos, we are adding to these on a regular basis.
If you have made a video which you think might be helpful, please let us know on the forum.

I worked at Linear Technology
Pros – Full Profit Sharing once you achieve 2 years tenure. Respected product portfolio. Short lead times. Solid stock performance.
Cons – Arrogance of senior management. Pricing is consistently higher than competitors who are equally good at what they do.
Advice to Senior Management – Undeniably profitable with no long-term vision on revenue growth. Amortize mature products and take less margin instead of constantly putting yourselves in a confrontational situation with customers who have more choices today than ever.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Ideas for Research Assignments
Two books in the Humboldt State University Library are especially recommended for research assignment ideas that involve students in critical thinking and give them an opportunity to become familiar with library materials and research methods:
Bean, John C. Engaging Ideas:; The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1996.
Call number: Fac Dev PE 1404 .B35 1996
Lutzker, Marilyn. Research Projects for College Students: What to Write Across the Curriculum. New York: Greenwood Press, 1988.
Call number: LB 2369 .L83 1988
A bibliography of other useful sources, created by Gretchen Fresher Moon of Gustavus Adolphus College is also recommended.
The suggested assignments below can be adapted to many disciplines and classroom situations. Combinations are possible, such as providing the research strategy and rationale that was used to locate material for an annotated bibliography. Most lend themselves equally well to written or oral treatment, to individual or small group work and can be adapted to either lower- or upper-division students.
Students determine if the library owns material on a reading list or bibliography.
Students find reviews of books on a reading list.
Students prepare a poster session (perhaps in PowerPoint) on their topic. An element of the assignment is the extent to which they determine key information and present it succinctly.
Students prepare an annotated bibliography on their topics with an explanation of why the given sources were chosen for inclusion. Perhaps, specify the number and types of sources to be included or a range of dates within which the sources must fall.
Students locate a periodical article on their topics and prepare an abstract of it. (Not suitable for use with indexes that include abstracts of articles)
Have the class as a whole develop evaluation criteria, then have students use the criteria for comparisons such as these:
Students locate two periodical articles on their topics--one popular (possibly from a newspaper) and one scholarly, technical, or professional--and make a comparative evaluation of them.
Students compare the bibliographies of two scholarly articles on the same topic.
Students perform the same subject search in two or more Internet search engines and compare the results.
Students perform a search on the same topic in an Internet search engine and an appropriate library Database and compare the results.
Students locate two reviews of a novel, scholarly work, or film, and compare them.
Students prepare information guides for new majors in their discipline, identifying prominent authors, important reference sources, serial publications, journals, and Websites for example. The guides could be presented as Webpages or in PowerPoint. (Most suitable for upper-division or graduate students)
Students identify one to three persons who have been (or are) prominent (in history, contemporary politics, an academic discipline, or a creative area), locate basic biographical information about each, and make brief presentations on the people, their lives, and why they were (are) noteworthy.
Students trace the careers of important people in the field (scholars, artists, politicians, authors, etc.) by producing a timeline of important events, a bibliography or works list of key publications or creations, an analysis of the reaction to the work and its ultimate impact, and an overview of how the person's interests evolved. Results might be presented as poster sessions or Websites.
Students analyze the critical reception of a significant work of art, literature, music, or scholarship by comparing several contemporary reviews.
Students evaluate several major journals in a discipline (identified by their instructor) analyzing and comparing tone; content, including author credentials; audience; impact on the field, perhaps using citation indexes. The results could be posted on a Website.
Students keep a journal or other record of their research strategy for an assignment, presenting a rationale for their strategy, noting sources consulted and searches performed in each including keywords, subject headings, or descriptors used, and critiquing their strategy in terms of effectiveness and reasons for any problems they encountered. This record may be submitted along with the assignment or in lieu of it.
Students trace a concept through periodical indexes or specialized encyclopedias for different disciplines, noting how the focus of each discipline influences the way the concept is addressed. Limit search results to peer reviewed articles and English language, as needed. For example:
Trace the concept of stress management in PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, ABI Inform, SPORT discus, and Medline
Trace the concept of animal rights in Sociological Abstracts, Psychological Abstracts, Medline, and Philosopher's Index
Trace the term "Mozart" in Medline, MLA Bibliography, PsycINFO, and Art Index
These examples are based on Bean, The Professor's Guide, cited above:
Have students research and then write an eye-witness account of an historical event, or a diary of a fictional participant.
Have students write diary entries of their daily life as a person in an earlier time or place, or a contemporary person in different circumstances.
Have students write a biographical sketch of a famous person in some field, either as if by a friend or an enemy of the person.
Have students investigate a research problem in the field and then write a paper, in which they take one of these positions:
A synthesizer of the best current thinking ("What do the experts say?")
A reviewer of a controversy ("What are the current arguments for and against . . .?")
An evaluator of a controversy (Add an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments above.)
An advocate in a controversy (Take a position on the arguments above and make a persuasive case for it.)
Students, or small groups, write dialogues between scholars or experts in the field with opposing views, e.g. B. F. Skinner and Benjamin Spock. The dialogues could be the basis for a panel discussion in class.
Librarians can help to insure that your goals for library assignments are translated into effective activities. Whether or not you desire assistance in developing a library assignment, please, at the time you give your assignment, send a copy to the librarian responsible for your subject area. A note explaining your expectations (about which sources are to be used, or not used, about the level of preparation students have had, about the desired level of involvement by librarians, etc.) would also be helpful.

Post subject: [Slipstream] What does bonus size give you?
Under the race generation rules, adding a +1 size is considered a 2 point edge. Just wondering why. Seems like it's more of a hindrance. Am I missing something? If you add +1 to size do you get some sort of bonus to something?
I should add, under the "Beastiary" in the SW Core book, it talks about adding toughness. On the forums I've read that it also adds strength in some settings. Just wondering which (or if it's both) in Slipstream.

Well, I do believe that an increase in Size is accompanied by a bonus to Toughness, so +1 Size means +1 Toughness as well. I have not heard anything about there being any inherent increase in Strength or other Attributes, however, specifically tied to Size.
The trouble is that +1 Size and +1 Toughness have exactly the same cost in the alien / fantasy race construction sets. Therefore, if there's any benefit, it really needs to be offset by some sort of drawback.
For my own games, I've used Size as a factor for grappling, calculating how much space in a vehicle the character takes up, how much food the character requires from provisions, bonuses to Intimidation, how far a character is thrown by a magical "knockback" effect, and other situations, for "spot rulings." Sometimes it's a good thing to be large and in charge. Sometimes, not so much.
I'd make an argument for Size impacting carry capacity, but aside from the Brawny Edge, I really don't have any justification for it. (Nothing is said about the carrying capacity of a warhorse, and that might be pretty handy to know if someone gets the brilliant idea of stashing all his extra gear in saddlebags, or loading up his poor horse with heavy barding.)
So ... I am curious to see what sort of answer you get!

Personally, I would have occasional pros and cons of size, to make a +1 size person different than a +1 toughness person.
Size dude is taller/bigger, might be able to see over a crowd easier, climb up things a bit easier; reach high things etc. would also have some difficulty in cramped quarters. if you put in a lot of bad things, I'd offset with +1 intimidate

Toughness = 2 + Size + (Vigor)/2 + Miscellaneous (Undead, etc.) + Armor.
Size increases directly increase toughness, and size decreases directly decrease toughness.
Changing size does not automatically change strength
a power (such as Growth) was used to change sizes.
Being larger has no inherent drawbacks, beyond the obvious (harder time finding comfortable cars, greater difficulty hiding, tend to be targeted first in a fight ["Get the big guy!"], can't fit through small openings, etc.), and all of those are situational and at the GM's discretion.
Even the Large quality only comes into play when the GM says it does. I've run PEG-published monsters that were Size +6 and did not have Large.

Officially, Size just adds to Toughness, but it's a good justification to increase Pace and Reach, reduce Parry, and add a bonus to Ranged attacks against the target.
Personally, I break it down into its component elements (SWD race generation) make each +1 to be hit worth -3 build points (-1 Parry plus +1 to be hit with ranged) and add an "Inconvenient Size" hindrance for really large/small builds (increasing the cost and/or weight of armor, gear, etc.)

I did some comparisons of sizes in
this thread
The main problem is that when you go up a size category, you suffer some serious penalties. I reached the conclusion that "Large" is roughly worth an edge if it gives +4 Toughness
+4 steps to Strength, to compensate for the -2 attack and +2 to your opponents' attacks.
However in most settings this doesn't come up, because players are always medium (unless they have specific powers like Growth/Shrink, which also include Strength adjustments). As long as the player remains medium, treating +1 Size as a +2 racial ability is fine.

I tend to run it that instead of Size +1 just being a +1 to Toughness it's more about being bigger. Each level of Size doubles Load Limit, but each level also increases the amount of food and water needed by 50% (add 50% for each level of Size, so a Size +2 creature needs 100% more food or double that of a normal human).

People from all walks are struggling to lose weight, garcinia has been proved to be effective supplement that when correctly used, will see you lose up to 8 pounds every week, but the concern with Garcinia cambogia how long does it take to work?
Garcinia is not a lifetime medication, it is something that you should use for a short time, and stop using when you attain normal Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is measured by dividing body weight in kilograms, with body height squared, in meters. If the ratio is between 18.5-24.9, you have a normal weight and you should not continue using garcinia extract, if the ratio is between 25.0-29.9, you are overweight and you should continue taking, and if the ratio is above 30.0, you are obese and you should continue taking garcinia.
In most cases, garcinia extract is used for atleast 12 weeks, but if you correctly use coupled with stress free exercise, you can attain normal body weight faster, and thus, you would use garcinia for short period. To ensure you use it for shortest period, you should take 30 to 60 minutes before meal with plenty of water.

I have been working at Cisco Systems full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Great work environment, awesome benefits and opportunities to advance in career. Love the culture to do the right thing for your employees and customers.
Cons – Would like to see more structured programs on career building and moving around within the company. Also, regular raises would be great.
Advice to Senior Management – Rate teams instead of individuals if you want better results, sometimes people are competing more than collaborating that hinders in the overall growth of the company.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Everything works as advertised, bits are sharp and neatly cut the work, even with someone who's new to using a hand held router (Bosch Colt). Bearing diameters are precise. After flush cutting, make sure to do your climb cuts first! Build on....!
I built my own binding machine using an old drill press stand for the column. It ain't pretty but thanks to the Stewmac Binding Router Bit and bearing, it worked great!
This bit & bearing make an extremely daunting task much easier to accomplish. Cuts a really clean channel that the binding can snuggle into..
I thought this bit was a above my budget, until I tried it out! Practice on scrap wood first! Then when working on the guitar, make several Shallow cuts instead of one deep one. I had never used a router before, but with a Laminate Trim Router and this bit and bearing, I had a Perfect binding channel in under 5 minutes! I had purchased several inexpensive Tele bodies on e-Bay just to practice on, as I ruined one while using a Dremel tool to route a channel. The Dremel cannot navigate the sharp turns at the upper bout of a Telecaster. As you can see in the photo, no burn marks, no bearing marks. Take your time and still be done in 5 min. Ready to sand and finish. After buying this bit, NO Telecaster will be "plain" in my shop again! I can see some great part-time money coming in, thanks to Stew Mac and this bit! Great Quality Stew Mac! Super Fast Shipping Too !
Fast shipping (5 days to Italy with DHL Express) and excellent products.
Superbly sharp cutter matched to the bearing produced an extremely accurate binding ledge. Took a moment to pluck up the courage to start the cut but used Stew Macs binding tutorial and got a great result. Recommended.
I used the bit with bearing guide on my router table and was able to route both sides of my Tele body for a binding in less than ten minutes. Clean, precise and super-easy. Take you time setting and testing the height and the rest is easy.
You need one of these. In a proper router set up, they are great. The bits can be cleaned in acetone to remove wood resins and cleaned after each routing job
Not that I really do much binding compared to the amount of guitars I build without binding, but its no different than the other bits, well made and stay sharp for a pretty long time. No better or worse than any other quality router bit. They all get dull eventually and then you have to get another one...
This router bit is one of the nicest you can buy anywhere. It is extremely sharp and well made (be careful removing the covering from it!). It cuts a very clean channel and does so in one pass when paired with a good router and steady hand.

WestCare has been operating the center in Reno since 2008, largely with funds from local hospitals like Renown Regional Medical Center. It now has run into a budget deficit after last year's operations. Amy Roukie, regional vice president of WestCare, said the agreement with the city would alleviate stress on the Sparks Police Department in handling homeless and continually inebriated citizens.
"In the past, people arrested for habitual public intoxication would be taken straight to jail," she said. "Now we are providing services to them and we only refuse those who are too violent for us to handle. In doing that, we are saving time for law enforcement and doing a medical screen on them. They are required to have a medical clearance before they can be booked into jail so they would have to wait at the hospital, which wastes the time of the officers."
Roukie said the goal of the Community Triage Center is to streamline the efficiency of handling habitual offenders while offering them useful treatment. The City of Sparks entered into an agreement — pending the approval of the county and City of Reno — and will pay $86,121 to WestCare for its operation.
Sparks Police Department Deputy Chief Brian Allen said the exact dollar amount that would be saved at SPD could not be calculated at the time, but the department would benefit from a decrease in repeat offenders. Mayor Geno Martini said paying the some $86,000 is worth it to save money in other areas.
"These people need help. They need assistance and in the long run some of those hospital rates might end up being lower because they won't be treating these people on a daily basis," he said.
Councilwoman Julia Ratti said the problem of homeless people on Victorian Avenue has become an increasing problem and that "it makes sense to (partner with them) now." The council approved the agenda item with a 3-2 vote.
Also approved on the council's agenda was the awarding of a construction contract to Northern Sierra Construction to renovate the Shadow Mountain Sports Complex concession building and main bathroom.
Council documents show the concession building and main bathroom, which were built in the early 1980s, have been given minor improvements since initial construction, but the bathroom must be brought up to ADA standards and "the roof, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems" of the facility need to be renovated to handle the "high use of the facility." The project will cost about $158,000 and will come from the Parks and Recreation Capital Projects Fund.
The board also approved a contract with Reno Tahoe Construction to improve the North Truckee Drain-Kiley Ranch South Reach Realignment project, which will remove unwanted and excessive vegetation in the area between Tree Swallow Lane and Los Altos Boulevard.
The area is seeing ponds of water collect enough to make the channel's "conveyance capacity" hindered, according to City of Sparks Senior Planner Andrew Hummel. He said the project would improve a 3,100-foot area and allow the system to work similar to the stretch of the drain north of Los Altos Parkway.

The authenticity of their meals in here is truly one of their best assets. They have a wonderful serving crew as well and they are very approachable and warm.
Decent Mexican Food – Azteca has decent mexican food. It's not outstanding, but it is still good. The chips and salsa are very good and we ate a lot of them, especially because it takes awhile for the food to come out. My favortie is the macho burrito (rice, beans, and meat inside the burrito). It's pretty tastey. The service is ok, sometimes a little slow, because the restaurant is often very busy. However, we have never had a problem with any of our servers.
Editorial Review – Americanized Mexican restaurant serves burritos, enchiladas, tamales, chimichangas and other favorites in a fun--and garish--setting.
Loyal fan* – I have been coming here with various family members since before I can remember. Some have come from out of state, and they love the food. Not once have I heard a complaint. By the time your meal comes around, you aren't very hungry because the chips & salsa fill you up. I always end up walking out with a smile, happy family members, and a take-out box.
I did forget why I haven't came here in a while, but after I returned recently I remembered what that reason was -- the food isn't good. Usually the chips & salsa are very addictive pair for an appetizer, but there just isn't that addictive and spicey "zing" here at Azyucka. The typical rice and beans that come with many of the entrees taste dull and stale. The meals seem like they were rushed and are very plain compared to what other Mexican restaurants in Washington offer. The service didn't make any mistakes, but thier attitude gave off a lingering feeling of depression (or maybe I just got use to "fine dining" restaurants). The quality obviously goes below average, but the price stays at average. To top it off, I had to brush off my seat before sitting down. This place isn't totally horrible, I just won't ever go back.

AUSTIN -- A deadline hits Wednesday afternoon for community input on a new City of Austin leadership plan.
In the November election voters approved the 10-1 council plan. It's designed to give every part of Austin representation at City Hall.
Currently there's not much of geographic diversity at the council table. For example, no council members are from East Austin.
That will change once a city-appointed committee draws out new regions. Voters would then elect a representative from the region where they live. Ten would serve on the council along with one mayor who represents the city as a whole.
"It's a win for Austin. It's a win for everyone. It's the first time in 40 years that every individual in the city will be fairly and equitably represented at City Hall," said Austin resident Jessica Ellison.
A commission made up of 14 citizens is charged with looking through the ideas that come in. From there they'll draw out those district lines.
"We think we've got a good process in place. There'll be some tweaking, but overall I think we can make the deadline," said Kenneth Mory of the City of Austin.
The plan is scheduled for completion by April 2014. Candidates from each of those districts would then campaign for the first council election under the 10-1 plan in November 2014.
Public input will be accepted until 5 p.m. Wednesday.

FLES is an acronym for Foreign Language in the Elementary School. In the FY 13 School Board adopted budget, the LCPS Spanish FLES program provides instruction to all students in grades 4 and 5. In grades 4 and 5, instruction will be 30 minutes once per week at all elementary schools.
The goals of the FLES program are to expose students to a second language at an early age and to encourage awareness of cultural differences. These goals are grounded on the following principles:
The Spanish FLES program was piloted in 2002 at 10 schools. The following year 14 schools were added with Spanish instruction in grades 1 and 2. Then 27 schools had Spanish instruction in grades 1 through 3. In SY 2011-2012, all Loudoun County Public School students in grades 1 through 5 received Spanish instruction. Second language acquisition is considered one of the most powerful "brain builders." Research shows that children derive many benefits—cognitive, academic, societal -- from early language instruction.

Hi, I bought an iphone without knowing it is so hard to unlock it. It came with 1.1.2. Because it was a birthday gift, I had to activate it and sign a two year contract with AT&T.
May anyone suggest how to hack the iphone to be able to use multiple PCs, and install 3rd party software if possible? It will still be using with the AT&T sim card.
Thank you in advance.

European Football Sunday Round-up
A round-up of results from leagues around Europe.
French Ligue 1
Marseille missed the chance to go clear of Paris St Germain at the top of Ligue 1 as they lost 1-0 at struggling Troyes on Sunday night.
Benjamin Nivet's 88th-minute goal earned Troyes their first victory in the league this season.
And there was more bad news for Marseille, who remained level on points with PSG, with striker Andre-Pierre Gignac going off injured and scans later confirming a broken bone in his foot.
Lyon beat Brest 1-0 thanks to Bafetimbi Gomis' 57th-minute goal to move up to third, one point behind PSG and Marseille.
Ajaccio and Bastia both had a man sent off as a bad-tempered Corsican derby ended 1-1.
Johan Cavalli was shown a straight red card in the 82nd minute and Gael Angoula got his marching orders a minute later.
Dutch Eredivisie
Feyenoord had to come from two goals down for a 3-2 away win over VVV Venlo that kept them in touch with the Eredivisie leaders.
VVV stunned the visitors as a curling free-kick from Oguzhan Turk and a deflected Guus Joppen shot in the space of four minutes gave them a 2-0 lead by the 21st minute.
But Feyenoord got a goal back on the stroke of half-time through Lex Immers' penalty, and a goal two minutes into the second half from Wesley Verhoek brought them level.
Graziano Pelle headed in the winner in the 64th minute to move Feyenoord to within four points of leaders FC Twente, although they are down in fifth place.
Two points and two places further back are FC Utrecht, who also came from behind to pick up a win on the road, beating ADO Den Haag 2-1.
ADO led through Danny Holla's 16th-minute penalty, but six minutes later Alexander Gerndt levelled and Jacob Mulenga scored the winner five minutes before half-time.
There was no such drama for Heerenveen as they cruised to a 3-0 win over FC Groningen thanks to a second-half onslaught.
The deadlock held until the 61st minute when it was broken by Rajiv Van La Parra and four minutes later Alfred Finnbogason added a second from the penalty spot.
Van La Parra capped the win with a third six minutes from time.
PEC Zwolle moved clear of the bottom three with their second win of the season and the second on the road as they won 2-1 at RKC Waalwijk.
Fred Benson put PEC in front after just five minutes and Ronnie Reniers added a second shortly after the hour mark.
Teddy Chevalier's 88th-minute goal for RKC came too late to make a difference.
Swiss Super League
Grasshoppers held off a second-half comeback from Young Boys to move four points clear at the top of the Swiss Super League with a 3-2 win.
A brace from Izet Hajrovic in the first 30 minutes and a goal on the stroke of half-time from Steven Zuber had the hosts three up and cruising at the break.
Josef Martinez pulled one back in the 50th minute and Raul Bobadilla made it 3-2 in the 90th minute, but Young Boys could not find a late equaliser.
Elsewhere, second-half strikes from Marco Schonbachler (67) and Josip Drmic (83) earned FC Zurich a 2-0 win at Lausanne Sports, while Lucerne were 1-0 winners at home to Basle courtesy of Arlind Ajeti's own goal on the hour mark.
Turkish Super Lig
Trabzonspor were unable to move level with the Super Lig's top two after being held to 1-1 draw by stuttering Besiktas.
Trabzonspor would have joined Galatasaray and Antalyaspor on 15 points with a victory today and they were on course to achieve that after taking the lead on the stroke of half-time through Marek Sapara.
However, Besiktas, who had lost their previous three matches, struck back 10 minutes into the second half through Manuel Fernandes to earn a point.
Kasimpasa could also have gone joint top if they had beaten second-bottom Mersin Idmanyurdu, but in the end needed two goals in stoppage time just to salvage a dramatic draw.
Mert Marcio Nobre (27) and Mustafa Keceli (51) looked to have set Idmanyurdu on their way to a first win of the season, but Kasimpasa battled back for a point thanks to last-gasp goals from substitutes Tabare Viudez and Adem Buyuk.
Elsewhere, Karabukspor scored first and last against Eskisehirspor, but still ended up red-faced as they were thumped 5-2 in an exciting match.
Ilhan Parlak's eighth-minute goal put the visitors ahead, but Eskisehirspor responded with strikes from Necati Ates (16), Diomansy Kamara (39 and 70), Alper Potuk (50) and Patryk Malecki (78) before Karabukspor netted an 88th-minute consolation through Ahmet Ozek.
Today's other match saw Akhisar Belediye draw 0-0 with Gaziantepspor.
Scottish Premier League
Danny Grainger's long-range strike earned Hearts a 1-0 win over Motherwell and their first Clydesdale Bank Premier League success at Tynecastle since the opening day of the season.
The left-back powered the ball into the top corner amid some early pressure and the home side repelled Motherwell's comeback attempts to end the SPL's only unbeaten away record.
Motherwell had some good possession and midfielder Nicky Law had a header cleared off the line, but Hearts were never under the cosh and substitute John Sutton squandered a chance to make the game safe.
Russian Premier League
CSKA Moscow stayed hot on the heels of Premier League leaders Anzhi Makhachkala with a 2-0 win over Rubin Kazan.
Rasmus Elm broke the deadlock in the 69th minute with a penalty after Seydou Doumbia tumbled in the area, and Rubin's woes increased three minutes later when Ivan Marcano was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Keisuke Honda.
Ahmed Musa dealt the final blow eight minutes from time to keep CSKA two points from the summit.
Terek Grozny sit third, two points further back, after edging out Amkar Perm on the road thanks to Igor Lebedenko's 66th-minute goal.
Lokomotiv Moscow fell off the pace at the top as they were held to a goalless draw away at Rostov.
A brace from Aleksandr Kokorin helped Dinamo Moscow climb away from trouble with a 2-1 away win over Mordovia Saransk.
Kokorin had Dinamo ahead after just six minutes and, although Ruslan Mukhametshin levelled with a penalty on the hour mark, Kokorin needed just three minutes to restore the visitors' lead.
Swedish Allsvenskan
IF Elfsborg missed the chance to go top of the Allsvenska as they lost 2-1 at IFK Norrkoping today.
Marcus Rohden's 10th-minute own goal and a James Frempong effort eight minutes later put the hosts two up.
Jon Jonsson pulled a goal back 11 minutes from time, but they could not find an equaliser.
Defeat left Elfsborg one point behind leaders BK Hacken and level with Malmo, who were 2-1 winners at Kalmar.
Ricardinho put Malmo in front after 15 minutes and Daniel Larsson doubled the lead seven minutes later.
Erik Israelsson's 76th-minute strike proved just a consolation.
Fourth-placed AIK moved to within three points of top spot with a 1-0 win at IFK Goteborg, Niklas Backman with the only goal of the game after 15 minutes.
Valdet Rama's 90th-minute leveller earned Orebro a 1-1 draw at Helsingborg, who had gone in front in the 36th minute thanks to Nikola Djurdjic's effort.
Belgian Pro League
Aloys Nong scored twice in the last three minutes to earn Mons a 3-1 win at home to Standard Liege in the Belgian Pro League tonight [Sunday].
Ibrahima Cisse put the visitors in front in the 13th minute, but Mustapha Jarju levelled shortly after the half-hour mark.
The match looked to be heading for a draw until Nong put Mons 2-1 up in the 88th minute and then struck again in the 90th.
The win move Mons above their opponents and up to eighth, while Standard remained 12th.
Danish Superliga
FC Copenhagen restored their three-point lead at the top of the Superliga with a narrow home win over bottom club Brondby.
Kris Stadsgaard struck the only goal of the game in the 12th minute as FCK moved back above AaB, who beat Sonderjyske last night [Saturday].
Both of today's other two Superliga matches finished in draws with Horsens being held 0-0 at home by Esbjerg and Midtjylland snatching a last-gasp equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Odense.
Midtjylland looked set to suffer a fourth defeat in five league matches after going 1-0 down to a 34th-minute Krisztian Vadocz goal and then being reduced to 10 men when Izunna Uzochukwu was sent off seven minutes into the second half.
However, Odense lost their numerical advantage when Marcus Pedersen was dismissed in the 64th minute and Midtjylland salvaged point when Kristijan Ipsa netted a 90th-minute equaliser.

How many World War II veterans can you name who fought in three theaters of war, or "chauffeured" Gen. Douglas MacArthur to Borneo on a ship he was steering or witnessed the signing of the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay? Well, if you can't, then let me introduce you to 91-year-old Gene Hadden of Independence. This veteran did all the above – and more – during his six-year stint in the Navy, and at the urging of Judy Bebee, a longtime family friend, has agreed to share his life story before he succumbs to terminal liver cancer. Judy had intended to write her godfather's unique story and scrapbook it for his two grandsons, she says, but that never happened. She waited too long. "I had been wanting to do this for years and now he's dying of cancer," she wrote in an email to The Examiner, suggesting a story be written about the exploits of this sharp-minded veteran, who in 1938 enlisted in the Navy at age 16 with his mother's consent. Relaxing in an easy chair in his Fairmount home, Gene reminisced about the six years he spent aboard both the USS Wichita and the USS Cleveland, recalling a "miracle" that prevented him and the crew of the Cleveland from being blown to smithereens by a Japanese torpedo Gene spotted headed straight at the light cruiser. Gene recalled he reacted to the Japanese torpedo by putting his index fingers into his ears, wondering "how high he was going to go" when the speeding projectile smashed into the 610-foot-long ship. "It should have gone straight in," he ways of the projectile. "But it didn't." Instead, it went under the ship and exploded on the other side. "And nobody knows why." What amazes Gene is that it didn't touch a single thing as he sped under the Cleveland – not even the four humongous, churning propellers. Says Gene: "Had it touched a napkin or anything under the ship, it would have blown sky-high." Some may disagree with Gene – a born-again Christian – but he believes it was divine intervention that saved him and the crew of some1,255 officers and enlisted men. "It was God," he says, with his arms raised high and pointing to the Creator. The young boatswain also escaped death and injury when a German sub fired on the Wichita off the coast of Africa. The shot pierced the heavy cruiser and went into the kitchen, killing four seamen. Gene recalls he was lying on his bunk during the shelling, unaware of the attack. He was told later that part of the shell found in the kitchen had U.S. markings on it. As strange as it seems, "We had been shot by one of our own shells from World War I," he exclaims. Though Gene escaped injury during some of the fiercest shelling of the war in the South Pacific, he was felled by an appendicitis attack while loading his 6-inch gun during a Japanese suicide attack on the Cleveland. With wheels from the suicide plane bouncing off the deck, Gene was carried down four decks to the first-aid station in the bow of the cruiser. Relief came quickly. "They operated on me for 20 minutes, and I was back in my bed," he says, recalling he was given a spinal so he could use his hands in case the ship went down. "They didn't want me to drown." What Gene wasn't told about his emergency surgery was that only the tip of his inflamed appendix had been removed because his ship was under attack. So imagine his surprise when he suffered another attack after his discharge at Lido Beach, N.Y., in 1946, and discovered the back part of his appendix was diseased, too. Surprise! Surprise! Gene, who spent a year in the CCC splitting fence posts at Shell Knob, Mo., and Roaring River as a 15-year-old, joined the Navy a year later to help support his mother. Prior to that, the Fairmount teenager attended Lathrop Polytechnic Trade School in Kansas City, Kan., after completing the eighth grade at Mount Washington Elementary School. Growing up as an only child, Gene remembers pulling his wagon to Winner Court – off U.S. 24 ¬– to get free staples from the government during the Great Depression. Gene also recalls he and his mother often shared a pan of Rice Crispies – topped with raisins and a quart of milk – with his aunt and a cousin who lived with them at the time. Times were tough then. But not as severe as the around-the-clock fighting he endured in freeing Saipan from Japanese occupation. "In Saipan we bombarded the island 11 days straight days," Gene says, with nothing to eat but apples and sandwiches. At night, he recalls, the Cleveland left to replenish its ammunition. Then it returned to pound the island. Says Gene: "It took all night to put the ammunition (on board) and ll minutes to shoot it all off. And you did that for 11 days." Following the unconditional surrender of Japan, the Cleveland was sent to Japan, where it docked next to the USS Missouri. Sitting upon a large gun on the Cleveland, Gene was an eye-witness to the historic armistice signing on the deck of the Missouri below. While in Japan as part of a naval occupation group, Gene visited Hiroshima, where the first atomic bomb was dropped. Other than describing it as a "flattened city of concrete and metal," he had little to say. Gene's life hasn't been the same since he came to know the Lord and was baptized in 2011 by his former pastor and caretaker, Jim Cox, of Summit Grove Community of Christ. Would Gene do anything differently if he could relive his life? You becha! "I would attend church more ... doing what God wants me to do."

Soldiers who take military leave for active service or training are generally entitled to return to their jobs when they finish their military service. They even have protection from being terminated without cause if they served long enough.
But the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) does not protect employees who fail to follow existing company rules when they return or try to return.
Recent case: Jordan To enlisted in the Minnesota National Guard and was assigned to attend training in Fort Benning, Ga. While there, he became ill and his training period was extended. He called his supervisor and faxed in his new military orders.
When the training ended, To told the company he wanted to return, but was having medical problems. Company policy required employees to report each absence ahead of time and provide a medical excuse when requested. To did so and got a new return date. That time came and went—with no word from To.
He was then terminated for failing to follow the call-in process. To then claimed he had faxed in a doctor's note extending his absence, but admitted he hadn't called.
That admission sank his case. The court said the employer was within its right to insist that even returning service personnel follow the rules. (To v. U.S. Bank, No. 10-3237, 8th Cir., 2011)
Advice: Don't use failure to follow a rule as an excuse to terminate a soldier unless you can show that other employees were terminated for similar conduct. Otherwise, it looks as if applying the rule could be merely a pretext for discrimination against service members.
Remember that treating all employees fairly and enforcing rules for all employees is the best way to prevent lawsuits of all kinds, not just USERRA claims.

"Golden colored orange zest flecked frosting. Adds a nice bright finishing touch to your cakes."

1/3 cup
butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons
orange zest
1 teaspoon
lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon
egg yolk
4 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon
orange juice
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
I made this as directed, egg yolk and all, and it is just a beautiful frosting! I, of course, had to adjust the measurements of the juices a bit to get the frosting to the perfect consistency (no recipe for frosting can be precise, so should not be criticized if more or less powdered sugar or liquid needs to be added). This is a light, fluffy, citrus frosting that was the perfect choice to frost Rainbow Citrus Cake, also from this site.
This frosting tasted great, hardened on the outside, and kept soft on the inside. However... it was EXTREMELY unpleasant to make and work with. It was very stiff and we had to add a lot of liquid to make it workable.

This was easy and tasty. As I do with all frosting recipes, I doubled it. I omitted the egg yolk and added in addition to the juice some orange flavored liquor. This has a nice subtle flavor. I will definately make this again.
Awesome!!! Since I was not making this for my family, I did not use the egg yolk. I am not sure of the purpose of the yolk - I have never made a frosting that called for one. I also only used 3 cups of sugar and with the lack of the the moisture from the yolk, I ended up adding in more lemon and orange juice. It was perfect for piping on my mini cupcakes.
Like most I had to double the recipe. I added more orange zest and juice too to give it more flavor. Also, this was WAY too sweet for my taste. I used 3 cups of confectioner's sugar instead of 4.
Quite tasty, although I recommend doubling the recipe. I did and needed it all to frost a 2-layer 9" cake. Use fresh zest because it really adds great flavour. I also added it splash of orange extract.
This frosting has great visual appeal... and it's delicious!
Very nice recipe with a lovely flavor. I had to add just a touch of milk as it was just a little too thick to spread. Otherwise, a great icing recipe.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
2011 is promising some pretty impressive televisions, with a huge range of inbuilt features. There are some pretty cool improvements over last year's sets — passive 3D (like at the movies), streaming Internet TV channels and a whole swathe of picture quality boosts. Nothing's actually hit the ground yet — we should be seeing some of these TVs on store shelves by mid-April — so read through these previews and work out which model suits you best.
Read through our comprehensive LCD vs LED vs Plasma TV buying guide.
Check out all the Sony TVs in Australia for 2011.
Here's a round-up of all Samsung's TVs for 2011.
We're very keen to take a look at Samsung's newest Series 8 LED television when it hits Australian shores. With styling that's a mix of 2010's Series 7 and Series 9 LED sets, it has LED edge-lighting hidden behind its super-thin bezels as well as 3D processing that automatically detects the content type.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
