Hydraulic Fracturing
New natural gas discoveries in shale rock formations and rapid technological advances to recover the gas have improved the U.S. domestic energy outlook. The nation's domestic natural gas reserves are so abundant that the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts within a few years electricity from natural gas will be less expensive than from coal. Some environmental activist groups, however, are trying to shut down natural gas production, especially production from shale, arguing environmental harms outweigh the economic benefits.
The newfound abundance of domestic natural gas reserves promises unprecedented energy prosperity and security. Mitchell Baer, director of oil and gas analysis for the U.S. Department of Energy, says domestic shale rock formations alone can meet our nation's natural gas usage for many years at current consumption levels. Shale gas production benefits the regional economies where production takes place. A recent Pennsylvania State University study found shale gas production in 2009 generated 48,000 jobs, $400 million in tax revenues, and $3.8 billion in economic output in Pennsylvania alone.
Shale extraction has proven remarkably safe for the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not found a single instance of drinking water contaminated by hydraulic fracturing, the technique used to extract natural gas from shale rock. Rock formations containing natural gas are hundreds or thousands of feet below groundwater tables and are kept separate from them by impermeable rock layers. Some minor instances of groundwater pollution have been reported, but these have occurred largely due to faulty pipe seals at the surface and are as likely to occur at conventional natural gas production sites as hydraulic fracturing sites.
Investigative journalists have debunked sensational falsehoods about hydraulic fracturing. The agenda-driven movie Gasland showed a Colorado resident lighting fire to water running from his kitchen faucet, which the movie blamed on recent hydraulic fracturing nearby. Investigative journalists discovered methane-rich natural gas is so prevalent in the area that residents have been able to light their water on fire since at least the 1930s, long before hydraulic fracturing. If anything, natural gas extraction—through hydraulic fracturing or other methods—is likely to reduce the naturally occurring contamination of regional water.

There are two types of people in my worldview: Those who say today is Cinco de Mayo, and those who say today is Kentucky Derby Eve Eve.
I'm one of the latter — hence, the blog records today's date as the second of Three Days of Julep — but I'm well aware that I'm in the minority. Luckily, I've found the perfect cocktail to cover both bases on this not-really-a-holiday-laden day. The Zihautanejo Julep is out of my Death and Co. stolen menu playbook, and it's a julep made with tequila.
It's also made with mint, so before I leave you to your recipe-following, I'll just highlight one informative bit of triv so you can learn a little something before completely blotting out all memory and winding up passed out wearing nothing but somebody else's sombrero: What makes a julep a julep isn't the mint. Death and Co., for example, has got a julep on its menu that's made with (in descending order) bourbon, rum, peach liqueur, sugar, bitters, another type of rum. (Yikes.) Merriam-Webster gives as a primary julep definition "a drink consisting of sweet syrup, flavoring and water." (Also yikes; so, like, Quik?) The crushed ice is what makes a julep a julep — and imbues the entire imbibing experience with Southern-like languor, as you can't really down a julep in rushed swigs, lest you wind up with a face full of ice chips.
Furthermore, although this belies both the dictionary and Death & Co.'s aforementioned concoction, typically "julep" also means a single type of liquor served in a great (five ounces of so) quantity. So again, it's a sipper, not a shooter.
Having said that, it's Cinco de Mayo — shoot yourself silly and enjoy your face full of ice chips!
The Zihautanejo Julep
(Adapted from Death and Company)
3 or so ounces Sauza Conmemorative Anejo
A dash of mezcal
Simple syrup
Mint leaves
Crushed ice
A cinnamon stick and a mint sprig, for garnish
Sprinkle mint leaves into a highball glass, enough to cover the bottom of the glass. Drizzle with simple syrup, enough to cover the mint leaves. Muddle until the syrup takes on a light-green hue. Fill glass with crushed ice. Pour in your tequila and top with a float of mezcal. Garnish.

ELKHART, Indiana - December 2007 -- Crown International proudly announces that Gerald Stanley, the company's senior vice president of research, has just been selected by the Audio Engineering Society's awards committee and board of governors to receive the distinguished AES Fellowship Award in 2008.
According to AES Secretary Han Tendeloo, Stanley's award for "significant contributions to power amplifier design and electronic networking of communications systems" will be presented in San Francisco next October during the 125th AES Convention, which also marks the Society's 60th anniversary year.
"I was surprised and humbled to receive the offer to become an AES Fellow not having been highly absorbed in regular Society activities," notes Stanley. "There have been a number of technical presentations made to the local chapters over a period of many years and an occasional conference paper, but not the level of AES involvement that is typical of a number of my 'Fellow' friends. And although awards presentations are often associated with doing something difficult or heroic, I consider myself fortunate to soon be recognized for simply doing what I've always considered fun."
Originally joining Crown in 1964 as a tape recorder line technician, draftsman, and amplifier design engineer, Stanley is today widely considered pro audio's foremost authority in power amplifier design. Highly respected for his work on the original DC 300 back in 1967, Stanley has been responsible for many of Crown's most successful products over the years, including the Macro-Tech, K, CTs and I-Tech Series. During his prolific 43-year tenure with Crown, he has also been integral in the design of a wide array of other products, including tape recorders, signal processors, magnetic resonance gradient amplifiers (for MRI machines), and semiconductor and audio test equipment, including the original TEF analyzers.
As an AES Fellow, Stanley joins a select list of honored industry luminaries, including Soundcraft's Graham Blyth (awarded in 2007), JBL's Doug Button and Mark Gander, Harman/Becker Automotive Systems' Don Keele and Richard Small, and Harman Consumer Group's Ulrich Horbach (formerly with Studer), David Griesinger (of Lexicon fame), and Floyd Toole (now retired).

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Red Sox hold first full-squad workouts
Saturday, February 16, 2013
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell addressed his full team for the first time on Friday, and it went about as expected.
Farrell was Boston's pitching coach from 2007-10 before leaving to manage the Blue Jays for two seasons. There are still players he is familiar with. But there are also 10 newcomers to the organization.
"It's exciting," he said. "I've been on a few teams. Just to see how the goals are set here and how everything is demanded to be ran. One of the first priorities over here is to be professional. Says a lot about the organization and the players inside here. So we do that, be professional, respect the game, put some numbers up, I think we'll be all right."
"It was great, very positive," he said of the meeting. "I think everyone came out of it very happy and ready to go. I think everyone's got a little chip on their shoulder right now, too. We're kind of here to prove the world wrong." |

Sao Paulo: Nightlife
The night São Paulo has always been seen as one of the busiest in Latin America. And in Sao Paulo hear and dance to a bit of everything. The important thing is to have fun, something that Brazilians have to spare. The rum and beer help relax the night.
Among the most popular sites is the neighborhood of Vila Madalena. The option for the snacks, such as drumsticks and meat pies are always recommended, especially when accompanied by a cold beer. The bars abound and there are prices to suit all pockets. You can enter a club without paying, but there are places where the input can cost a small fortune. The fact that Sao Paulo has won the fame of having one of the best nights of Brazil helps it work that way. The chic bars begin to gain more supporters and also exist in Vila Madalena tend to spill over into other areas like the suburbs of Pinheiros and Vila Nova da Conceição. Electronic music lovers have plenty to choose from in Vila Olimpia, the Manga Rosa and the club Lov are among the busiest. The now-famous Pacha, in Vila Leopoldina, is always full, like the Lotus (a subsidiary of the club with the same name in New York) in Brooklyn. Before venturing into the night, enjoy a dinner at the neighborhood Liberdade or Marginal Tiete, where you can find a large variety of restaurants.

Thyroid cancer is a cancer that starts in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located inside the front of your lower neck.
Tumor - thyroid; Cancer - thyroid
Thyroid cancer can occur in all age groups.
Radiation increases the risk of developing thyroid cancer. Exposure may occur from:
Other risk factors are a family history of thyroid cancer and chronic goiter .
There are several types of thyroid cancer:
Symptoms vary depending on the type of thyroid cancer, but may include:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may reveal a lump in the thyroid, or swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
The following tests may be done:
Treatment depends on the type of thyroid cancer.
Surgery is most often done. The entire thyroid gland is usually removed. If the doctor suspects that the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck, these will also be removed.
Radiation therapy may be done with or without surgery. It may be performed by:
After treatment for thyroid cancer, you must take thyroid hormone pills for the rest of your life. The dosage is usually slightly higher than what your body needs. This helps keep the cancer from coming back. The pills also replace the thyroid hormone your body needs to function normally.
If the cancer does not respond to surgery or radiation, and has spread to other parts of the body, chemotherapy may be used. This is only effective for a small number of patients.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Complications of thyroid cancer may include:
Call your health care provider if you notice a lump in your neck.
There is no known prevention. Awareness of risk (such as previous radiation therapy to the neck) can allow earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Sometimes, people with family histories and genetic mutations related to thyroid cancer will have their thyroid gland removed to prevent cancer.

Minimally invasive prostate resection is surgery to remove part of the prostate gland, to treat an enlarged prostate . The surgery will improve the flow of urine through the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder outside of your body. It can be done in different ways. There is no incision (cut) in your skin.
These procedures are often done in your doctor's office or at an outpatient surgery clinic.
The surgery can be done in many ways. The type of surgery will depend on the size of your prostate and what caused it to grow. Your doctor will consider the size of your prostate, how healthy you are, and what type of surgery you may want.
All of these procedures are done by passing an instrument through the opening in your penis (meatus). You will be given general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free), spinal or epidural anesthesia (awake but pain-free), or local anesthesia and sedation. Choices are:
Laser prostatectomy; Transurethral needle ablation; TUNA; Transurethral incision; TUIP; Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate; HoLep; Interstitial laser coagulation; ILC; Photoselective vaporization of the prostate; PVP; Transurethral electrovaporization; TUVP; Transurethral microwave thermotherapy; TUMT; TURP- transurethral resection of prostate
An enlarged prostate can make it hard for you to urinate. You may also get urinary tract infections . Removing all, or part, of the prostate gland can make these symptoms better. Before you have surgery, your doctor may tell you changes you can make in how you eat or drink. You may also try some medicines.
Your doctor may recommend prostate removal if you:
Risks for any surgery are:
Other risks for this surgery are:
You will have many visits with your doctor and tests before surgery:
If you are a smoker, you should stop several weeks before the surgery. Your doctor or nurse can help.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription.
During the weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Most people are able to go home the day of surgery, or the day after. You may still have a catheter in your bladder when you leave the hospital or clinic.
Most of the time these procedures can relieve your symptoms. But you have a higher chance of needing a second surgery in 5 to 10 years than if you have transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP ).
Some of these less invasive surgeries may cause fewer problems with controlling your urine or ability to have sex than the standard TURP. Talk to your doctor.

+ Freeze! It's time for unique ice cream
We saw the sign, "ice cream," and it was just that time of day — too early for dinner, too late for lunch, hankering for a snack — so we followed the signs. Sure enough, there was a new place in a little strip mall off Sawyer and Clark roads that looked sparkly and inviting and, well, different from most ice-cream places.
The interior gleamed with shiny walls and lots of stainless steel. There was a perky, young woman behind the counter who asked, "Have you been here before?" "No," we told her, not really expecting an experience but yearning for something icy and creamy.
What we discovered was a one-of-a-kind ice- cream parlor that makes about 1 trillion different combinations "to suit every taste" of flavors, ingredients and "mix-ins."
Yes … I said 1 trillion, which is a little more than Baskin-Robbins or Howard Johnsons! And they offer "premium," with 14% cream content; "custard" (10%); "low fat" (5%); and "yogurt" or "soy/rice milk" (no fat). But those aren't the only twists.
Don't expect to walk into this ice-cream parlor, look at a few dozen flavors, and point. Here, you tell your server what kind of treat you want (see list in previous paragraph), and she pours the liquid into a giant stainless-steel mixing bowl. Then comes the flavor. Don't get me started on that list, but imagine everything from chocolate to vanilla, amaretto to peanut butter, strawberry, coffee and some pretty outlandish things such as Mountain Dew or Tiger's Blood, or any combination — and you've invented your very own ice cream.
Then you get to add stuff, such as marshmallows, chocolate flakes, cheesecake chunks, M&Ms, mixed berries or, yes, bubble gum, but you still haven't got your treat, because all this stuff is floating in that bowl, waiting to be magically frozen. That happens when you "choose your chill factor": soft-serve, scoop-able or rock hard. That's when the real enchantment begins, because that's when your server takes what looks like a giant elephant's trunk and sounds like one of those balloon blower-uppers and sprays liquid nitrogen onto the mixture.
Liquid nitrogen boils when it gets down to minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit, and it freezes anything it touches.
Sound like fun? It is, because you're the chef, you're the inventor and, best of all, you're the taster.
Sarasota's Sub Zero Ice Cream and Yogurt is the only one of its kind in Florida. In fact, it's the only one east of the Rockies. It was devised by a chemist in Utah, but the owners and operators of this branch are Brad Lord, Don Wirth and Gabe Ramsey. They and their wives, before getting into the ice-cream dish, were all involved in the medical field as nurses and anesthetists.
This brand-new parlor at 4065 Clark Road is open from noon every day.
+ Pop-up restaurant has staying power
We wrote recently that The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota is in the process of remodeling and refining its restaurants and bars. The new restaurant and lounge will be called Jack Dusty and will open after the first of the year, but that doesn't mean things are at a standstill there. Walls may block entry to the new place, but the "temporary" restaurant, CdZ, is alive and well, and we had one of the best dinners in a long while there the other night. It was also amazingly reasonable, considering the quality of the food and service.
We began by sharing the crab cake, which was lighter than Sarasota air on a balmy night and seemed not to have any filler at all, and was just perfect with a chicory and citrus mayonnaise. I had the blackened grouper etouffee, and my husband, Ed, went for a medium-rare rack of Colorado lamb (three bones, but they also offered four) and we shared positively enormous portions of the best creamed spinach I've ever had and an order of braised greens (collards, smoked, chopped and positively delicate to the tongue) with pancetta, shallots, garlic and Key lime. The meat and the fish were terrific, but the veggies (of which you have choices with no additional charge) were so good I'm tempted to find out if they offer take-out spinach.
Sammy was our server, and she couldn't have been better, answering myriad questions about the menu, appearing when needed and vanishing when we became involved with our food and conversation.
I'm sure Jack Dusty will be splendid, but I can't imagine anything better than CdZ. We plan to go back while it's still there. We want to try the whole fried chicken (described as being luscious and the size of a large Cornish hen), and the customized 8-ounce prime burger, with choices from chimichurri to fried mac and cheese as accompaniments.
The Ritz knows how to do it right, and every server there is beautifully trained. But, if you can, ask for Sammy. She's the best!

If we're lucky something will happen. Some adversity will happen and something unexpected will happen and you'll get tired and you'll get hungry, you'll have trouble going to the bathroom, and you'll lose your car keys, and all these wonderful things will add up to some powerful experience that 10 years from now we'll say "We lived, we lived." - Wayne Coyne on Coachella
I'm guessing they'll televise it again next week. But that's just a hopeful guess.
I saw it. Was looking to see if I was in it.
someone PLEASE tell me how to find this.
wait a minute... the link on the website is about last year's california's gold.
was there no new one? have I been duped?
I think we were duped. sigh.
your pockets are no longer filled with sunshine, now they are filled with sadness and despair.
There are seeds on piratebay right now.

Ever find eggplant a hard sell? I have a suggestion: Make sure you choose the right recipe. Once named "mad apple" for its prickly, bitter skin, this versatile veggie has become the star in a range of recipes. I love how the vegetable absorbs the flavors of herbs and spices in any preparation.
Eggplant's firm texture holds up to baking, broiling and grilling. Chopped eggplant adds body to flavorful stews from every culture or mashes into a dip. But don't forget to try different varieties of eggplant with yellow, purple or white skins to color any dish, including this layered eggplant and tomato version.
Choose shiny eggplant that is heavy for its size and has end leaves still fresh and green. Use this topping to create a wonderful bruschetta. Just substitute toasted French bread slices for the pasta. Cut the eggplant into smaller pieces, and mix the vegetables together.
Eggplant layers with fresh tomato sauce
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
8 ounces whole wheat linguine or fettuccine
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 eggplant, about 1 1/4 pounds, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 pound plum tomatoes, cored, diced
¼ cup each, finely sliced: basil, parsley
1 teaspoon drained capers
Freshly ground pepper
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta; cook until al dente. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, combine the oil and garlic in a bowl. Brush the eggplant slices on both sides with the oil; place on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake until golden and tender, turning the slices after 30 minutes, about 45 minutes.
3. Mix tomatoes, basil, parsley, capers, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
4. Remove baking sheet from oven. Leave the eggplant slices on the sheet; spread about 1 tablespoon tomato mixture on top of each slice. Layer the slices 3 high. Toss the pasta with remaining tomato mixture. Divide the pasta among 4 shallow bowls; serve the stacked eggplant slices over the pasta.

I notice we can't ignore ourselves...or Steve.
Your going to pay people ($$) not to ignore you? How much?
Just kidding, if I have offendened someone please PM me and I will make things right ($$). I joke, but it is serious and I apologize...I'm doing better now.,really.
Bob, you may have offended someone, and if they don't claim the prize $, I will.Now lets see.... the sum of $$$$$$$$$ will be paid to.......... in the event I offend you or will at some future date..... signed........How Fun!!!!!!!!Mark
What purpose does displaying how many people are ignoring a user serve?
So...you can take back ignoring someone? I just looked at my summary page and my dunce hat appears to be shrinking compared to last nights disgruntles. Thank you who ever you are....I am stoked now about winning over your friends/like minded folks. This is awesome man....really!!
what ya'll think folks?
I think your idea has no merit. There is no semi-diabetes or semi-pregnant, I don't remember reading about semi-chickepox, or semi-sunburned.If people used their brain instead of their mouse or keypad, then we would be mutch better off.Semi ignore? Like saying "i kinda hate you" or "I kinda don't want to read what you type"? Maybe read the stoy about Dick's hat band?Leave no stone unturned. Make no left turn unstoned? So someone may want to semi-read my post? This post reminds me of summer school; no class.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - February 2003 - Jon E Gee, best known as the bass player for John Mellencamp's legendary rhythm section, has joined the ever-growing list of high-profile bass players endorsing Crown International's K2 power amplifier as a live and studio performance tool. Gee, who has also played with Ted Nugent and shared the stage with Kid Rock, James Taylor and Mick Jagger to name a few, uses an Ashley SC-40 preamp and, along with his K2, has a DOD three-way crossover and Yamaha 31-band EQ in his rack. All this feeds two custom-made single 15" cabinets and two custom-made 4 X 10" cabinets. Jon's main bass of choice on the road is a five-string Lakland. Gee's respect for Crown amplifiers goes back a number of years to when he was touring with a regional band carrying its own all-Crown-powered PA. "On the way to one particular gig, we were involved in an accident that caused the amps to be thrown off the truck and, in a few cases, ripped out of their racks," Gee recalls. "However, when we got to the venue and fired up the system, every one of those Crowns worked like nothing had happened!" That reliability combined with Crown's pristine sonic quality was what ultimately sold Gee on a K2 for his own bass rig. And as Gee likes to say, "It's a Crown that makes one a king!" Jon E Gee is currently in the studio with John Mellencamp, and is also playing shows with the Dane Clark band. For more information on Jon E Gee and his upcoming shows, visit www.jonegee.com. The Crown K2 is an extremely powerful workhorse amplifier capable of delivering 800 watts per channel into 4 ohms in stereo mode and a staggering 2500 watts into 4 ohms in bridge-mono mode. Featuring a damping factor in excess of 3000 from 10 to 400 Hz, the K2 is widely praised for its sonic accuracy and exceptional low-end control. Thanks to Crown's patented BCA technology, the K2 is also tremendously thermally efficient, generating just one-tenth the heat of a conventional amplifier. Because of this, the K2 requires no internal cooling fan (read: no noise) and features a sealed chassis that is immune to dust, cigarette smoke, stage fog and spilled liquids. Practically maintenance-free and boasting a reliability that's all-Crown, the K2 is additionally backed up by the manufacturer's unprecedented 'Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty.' # # #
Gee goes K

How to use free text search:
The following expressions and symbols can be used in free text searches:
Example complex search: "water sanitation" -(irrigation|drainage) Document must contain the words 'water' and 'sanitation' adjacently in any field in a document, but not contain either 'irrigation' or 'drainage'.
Note: It is not possible to use single words in combination with the negative expressions and symbols, such as '|', 'OR', 'NOT', '-', '!'. So a query that just contains '-water' would not be acceptable. It would be acceptable to put 'sanitation -water'

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye.
Lens opacity; Age-related cataract
The lens of the eye is normally clear. It acts like the lens on a camera, focusing light as it passes to the back of the eye.
Until a person is around age 45, the shape of the lens is able to change. This allows the lens to focus on an object, whether it is close or far away.
As a person ages, proteins in the lens begin to break down. As a result, the lens becomes cloudy. What the eye sees may appear blurry. This condition is known as a cataract.
Factors that may speed cataract formation are:
In many cases, the cause of cataract is unknown.
Cataracts develop slowly and painlessly. Vision in the affected eye slowly gets worse.
Problems with seeing may include:
Cataracts lead to decreased vision, even in daylight. Most people with cataracts have similar changes in both eyes, though one eye may be worse than the other. Often there are only mild vision changes.
A standard eye exam and slit-lamp examination are used to diagnose cataracts. Other tests are rarely needed, except to rule out other causes of poor vision.
For early cataract, the eye doctor may recommend the following:
As vision gets worse, you may need to make changes around the home to avoid falls and injuries.
The only treatment for a cataract is surgery to remove it. If a cataract is not making it hard for you to see, surgery is usually not necessary. Cataracts do not harm the eye, so you can have surgery when you and your eye doctor decide it is right for you. Surgery is usually recommended when you cannot do normal activities such as driving, reading, or looking at computer or video screens, even with glasses.
Vision may not improve to 20/20 after cataract surgery if other eye diseases, such as macular degeneration , are present. The eye doctor (ophthalmologist) can often determine this in advance.
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing permanent vision problems.
Although rare, a cataract that goes on to an advanced stage (called a hypermature cataract) can begin to leak into other parts of the eye. This may cause a painful form of glaucoma and inflammation inside the eye.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have:
The best prevention involves controlling diseases that increase the risk of a cataract. Avoiding exposure to things that promote cataract formation can also help. For example, if you smoke, now is the time to quit. Also, when outdoors, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.

The scores for The Barley House
Menu: 15/20
Atmosphere: 18/20
Appetizers: 19/20
Entrees: 16/20
Desserts: 15/20
Restaurant Location:
It also sparked a heated debate between OG and The Dining Companion about how to "taste test" a burger, but more about that later.
Between the warm welcome from the staff and the décor, you instantly feel at home when you walk into The Barley House. We were immediately greeted and seated in the dining room that overlooks the heart of the downtown and the State House. The tavern-like setting manages to feel casual, yet look upscale.
The menu is sizable but not overwhelming. Luckily, I had already decided I was going to have a burger, given the accolades the burgers at The Barley House have received over the years, so my focus was on trying to choose a starter.
Despite the warm weather, the Pumpkin and Apple Bisque ($5), which was the soup of the day, caught my attention. The bisque, decorated with a sweet swirl on top, appeared deceptively simple, but was complex in flavor. While some restaurants like to go heavy on the sage or other spices in what is a typical fall dish, that was not the case here. Any spicing was a nice secondary note allowing the pumpkin and apple to shine. I surprised myself by finishing the bowl of bisque. It is one of the best soups I have had in a long time.
TDC chose the Guinness Brats ($10), two house-made pork sausages served on a bed of lettuce with beer mustard for dipping. TDC raved about the sausages being extremely flavorful and juicy. They were cooked to just the right temperature and tenderness, and he especially enjoyed the beer mustard sauce, which added a spicy gourmet kick. TDC wanted to save room for the rest of the meal so he set one of them aside, but he had a hard time staying away. He kept going back to it even through the dessert course. When it comes to sheer flavor, ballpark sausages have nothing on these, he told me. I'll have to take his word for it as they were kept far out of my reach on the other side of the table.
When it came time to order dinner, I was all set to order my burger, or so I thought. The Barley House offers many types of burgers: everything from the Dublin Burger (peppercorn charred, whiskey gravy, creamy blue cheese, crispy onions) to the BBQ Bacon Bison (all natural bison, sugar coffee rub, barbecue sauce, house-cured bacon, cheddar cheese). All of the choices on the menu sounded delicious, but I opted for the House Burger, a basic burger to which I added cheddar cheese and bacon ($10).
Why would I pass up all the toppings The Barley House is famous for? As far as I'm concerned, the best part of the burger is, natch, the burger. All of the burgers The Barley House makes are ground fresh daily in-house using all-natural, premium Angus beef. Quite simply the better the ingredients, the better the finished product, so in my mind why mask the flavor of the beef with sauces and vegetables?
TDC's feet were firmly planted in the other camp. He was incredulous that I didn't choose one of the burgers with the various toppings. When dining out, he contended, it's always best to choose what that particular restaurant is known for.
After a lot of back and forth, nothing was settled, and the Great Burger Debate of 2013 ended in a draw.
No matter, I was the clear winner. The burger meat was tasty and cooked to the perfect medium I requested. I wish it had been seasoned more, but the house-cured applewood bacon helped in that respect. The hot fries served in a metal cup aside the burger were a nice complement, as was the chipotle ketchup.
TDC opted for the Irish Whiskey Steak ($20), which was cooked medium rare, just like he ordered it. The meat was cut into steak-tip-style slices and served on top of mashed potatoes with green beans on the side. TDC particularly liked the accompanying whiskey peppercorn sauce, which he used to dip the steak and mashed potatoes in.
For dessert, with each us back in our respective corners, I chose the Crème Brulee ($7), warm vanilla custard with a caramelized sugar top, from a list of about seven choices. It was sufficiently sweet and a nice way to end the meal.
For dessert, TDC had the Brownie Sundae ($7). The sundae is packed tightly into a wine-style glass to the point that it looks like it's going to burst when you dig in with your spoon. This mashes the brownie, chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, into a succulent swirl of brownie sundae goodness. Both of us made good work of our desserts.
Overall, between the food, atmosphere and service, it was a great dining experience. Our server was right on top of things and didn't blink when TDC insisted on keeping his sausages throughout the meal. He also gave us a $5 coupon for next time because he thought we waited too long between our appetizer and dinner courses.
Once on the bucket list, The Barley House is now on the must-go-back-to list. And next time, I may even get a burger with a bunch of toppings, and not just to avoid an argument.

Coloring Pages, Worksheets and Printables
These coloring pages offer wonderful opportunities for artistic expression and fine motor practice. From adventurous dinosaur coloring pages to cute fairy coloring pages, there is a theme here for every type of kid. Coloring pictures helps children develop their creativity, and work their pencil grip in preparation for learning how to write. Additionally, many of our coloring pages cover important science lessons, such as animal life cycles and the anatomy of bugs.
Benefits of Coloring Pages
Coloring pages are a wonderful recreational activity for kids, but there are also some great educational and developmental benefits to coloring pictures:
- Consistent use of coloring pages and coloring worksheets helps children develop fine motor skills, which in turn helps kids develop a strong pencil grip, improved writing skills, and good penmanship.
- Children who learn to work on coloring pages for kids while ignoring the surrounding noise and activity develop great focusing skills that can help in the classroom and beyond.
- Color a coloring page or two with your child to create some quiet time where your can discuss your days and thoughts. Sometimes, kids will hint at their feelings though coloring worksheets—a child that uses all dark colors may be feeling glum, and a child that focuses on a certain object in the picture might have an interest in that subject. Use coloring pages as a starting point for a discussion with your child.
- Coloring pages are also a great creativity builder for kids. Many kids will learn how to replicate colors and images that they find in the real world through coloring worksheets, and they can also learn how to create a surreal or silly picture through colors that express exactly how they feel.

plan your next surf trip.
This is time to get things done. I just shaped and glassed a new log. Ran 60 plus miles this week. Paddled or swam everyday. And paid the bills. Flat spells are good to get something done. Waiting for waves is NOT something I recon on you. Most people I know who wait for waves end up smoking themselves silly. I always love to shape boards on the down time. It is cheep and easy and there is so much info available on the net that you can stay busy for weeks. Work out also. Being in shape has lead me to very high wave counts and 5 hour sessions anywhere I surf. (beware, that can get you in trouble in some places!) word-

One of the more useful attributes of the new commenting system Gawker is launching today is the ability to use "Burner" accounts to anonymously comment and post photos on the site. As such, Burners are a handy way to leak information to us, and to the world, in relatively low-risk manner. Here are some other tips.
As you may have noticed lately, leaking information about your employer is an inherently risky proposition, even if your aim isn't to hold on to your job but to go out with a bang. There is virtually no completely safe way to transmit sensitive information to us, or any other news outlet. But there are some standard operational security measures you can take to make it harder for employers and law enforcement investigators to a) find out who you are, and b) gather the evidence necessary to successfully bring civil or criminal sanctions against you even if they do discover your identity. Many of them were helpfully assembled by Wired two weeks ago; with the advice of internet security and privacy expert Christopher Soghoian I've collected a few more below.
An overarching thought: If you want to provide information to us, you should operate with two different perspectives in mind—the investigator trying to identify you, and the investigator who already knows who you are but is trying to prove that you are behind the leaks. Setting up a dummy email account that's not associated with you is a wise step to throw off the former. But if you retain that dummy account's login and password information in the browser on your laptop or mobile phone, it is useless against anyone who has the power to seize and inspect your belongings with a search warrant. It's wise to proceed on the assumption that your antagonists will eventually have full access to your private devices—the key is to make those devices useless to them. With that in mind:
Don't tell us who you are. We routinely grant anonymity to our sources, and we are men and women of our word. We will vigorously reject any attempt to compel us to reveal sources, and New York has a robust shield law making it very difficult for law enforcement to pry that information from us. But there is no federal shield law, and even though I like to imagine that I will go to jail on a contempt charge Judy Miller-style if it ever came to that, it's impossible to know how you would respond to such a situation until the screws are put to you. As Soghoian put it, "You shouldn't have to rely on a journalist going to jail to keep you anonymous." Of course, in order to use or verify the information you are offering and to weed out hoaxes, we will often need to know your identity. So refusing to tell us who you are might mean we don't use your information. But if we can independently verify what you're presenting, then it's safest to hide your identity from us.
Don't read Gawker. Kidding! Read Gawker. But if you've ever read Gawker on your work computer, think twice before leaking to us. "If your morning routine is to read the New York Times at work with your coffee, then leak whatever you have to the Wall Street Journal or some other paper," Soghoian says. Employers can fairly easily use browser logs and histories to zero in on all the regular Gawker readers in the office. And deleting cookies or your history won't help, because there are generally various routers and other devices between your computer and the internet that have already recorded your visits.
Don't Use Your Work Computer. For anything. At all. Never, ever use your work computer. Ever. But you're only sending us an email from a dummy Gmail account, you say? Ask LD Beghtol—a former Village Voice designer who was fired after his bosses saw him using Gmail and Gchat to look for other work and complain about his job because they were monitoring his screen—how safe that is. Don't use your work's network either—if you're using your iPhone to communicate with us from your office supply room, for example, use the 3G network and not the work WiFi.
Create a Dummy, Untraceable Email Account. Gmail is fine for this. Use it only on devices that you own, or on public computer terminals. Make sure it has its own unique password that's different from any of your other passwords. Never store any information about this account on any of your devices. Don't install it as an email account on your iPhone. Don't let your browser remember the password. Use your browser's "Private Browsing" setting before accessing the account. The idea is that if an investigator seized your computer or phone, he or she would find no connection between you and the account.
Update (August 2014): Gawker's main tip line, firstname.lastname@example.com, now has a PGP public key, which supplies another layer of privacy. You get our key here, and read more about protecting yourself with PGP here.
Don't Leak Any Electronic Documents. If you have a salacious memo in PDF form, don't email it to us. Print it out (but be careful—the printing can be logged) and take it to a FedEx Kinko's. Scan it in and email the scan from a public computer terminal. Be sure to pay for the scan and the computer time in cash. Alternatively, as Wired advises, you could use your phone to snap a photo of the document on your computer screen and email it to us. If you do, delete the photo and the email immediately afterward. And remember: Your service provider has a complete list of everywhere you've been and every IP address your phone has visited. In fact, turn your phone off before you get near the Kinko's and wait until you're a significant distance away before you turn it back on.
Beware Metadata. If you send us a photo, we will make sure it is scrubbed of EXIF data—which contains all manner of information that could help identify who took it, including the GPS coordinates where the picture was taken—before we post it. But it's safest to scrub it yourself. One easy way to do this is to take a screengrab of the image and delete the original. Whatever you do, don't post a photo taken with your phone directly to Gawker, Twitter, or any other web site unless you are fully prepared for everyone to know where and when it was taken. One Anonymous hacker learned that lesson the hard way earlier this month when he was arrested in part on the strength of evidence gleaned from a photo of a women he posted to his anonymous Twitter account. The EXIF data showed that it was taken at the suspect's girlfriend's house. It's not just photos—all manner of digital documents, from text files to movies, contain varying amounts of metadata that could easily help identify their provenance. Strip them out.
Use Tor. Tor is a software bundle that makes it impossible for your computer's IP address to be tracked back to you. The only downside is that it slows down your internet connection considerably. The upside is that it's free and you can switch it on and off, so you can enable it only while you are in the midst of your mischief and turn it off while you browse. Another alternative is a virtual private network, or VPN. Basically, you rent a remote computer to route all your internet traffic through. It that computer is, like those operated by the hosting firm PRQ, located in Sweden and owned by radical anti-copyright and internet freedom activists, your level of protection is fairly high—your IP address shows up as a PRQ-owned computer in Sweden, and that's where the trail will end. VPN's usually cost $15 or so a month, depending on the services you order.
Don't Talk on the Phone. The minute you make a phone call using your phone, you're creating an easily accessible record of contact between you and your leakee. The safest way to make phone contact, if you must, is for the reporter to buy two prepaid cell phones, write down both numbers, and send one of them to the source. (Make sure not to turn the disposable phone on near your office or home. If you do, and if investigators become aware of the phone, they could use geo-tracking data from the phone company to associate the number with you.) Alternatively, you could establish a dummy Skype account, taking care that you use your dummy Gmail account as the associated email address. Make sure that you use a unique password that's not duplicated from any other accounts associated with you, don't save your log-in information locally on your computer, and never use the account from an IP address that could be associated with your work or home computers.
Use a Gawker Burner. Burner accounts are 100% anonymous. We do not record or retain the IP address that opened any particular account. We don't know who you are, and if we were subpoenaed by a law enforcement organization, we'd have no way to tell them who you are.
Update (August 2014): As of 2014, Gawker flushes all IP addresses for Burner accounts immediately. However it is still a very good idea to use Tor if you are concerned about publishing information that could result in a subpoena. To collect analytics data and supply banner advertisements, Gawker's site connects to several other companies' servers, which may track IP addresses and could, in theory, be subject to a subpoena. We trust all these companies enough to do business with them, but it's best to be as safe as possible.
Hand Delivery. We'd love to meet you! We know of some dark bars. Make sure no one followed you.
U.S. Mail. We do get letters. The old-fashioned postal way is very, very hard to crack. Think of the Unabomber or Anthrax Killer. Send your dirt to:

The above suggestions are offered with a worst-case scenario in mind. It is highly unlikely that you will actually need that level of security. Most people interested in providing us with information will be able to do so without worrying that their employer will scrutinize browsing history, let alone spark a criminal investigation. Most tipsters need only cover their tracks with an anonymous email address and perhaps the precaution that we speak only via cell phone. But you never know when the hammer is going to come down, and it's best to be aware of the digital footprints we leave behind.
I'm sure you all have many, many more tips. Let us know in comments.
