Sometime recently, Maryland running back Brandon Ross told something to his younger brother, cornerback Jarrett Ross, that might annoy fellow Terrapins at other positions, but it's something he believes to be true just the same.
"We're probably the most competitive group on the team," Ross said. "No offense to everybody else."
He was standing beneath a slight drizzle at Byrd Stadium on Friday evening as fireworks boomed in the background, celebrating another spring game in which the running backs created an even muddier logjam of options for their coaching staff to evaluate as preseason camp approaches.
Ross stood out after turning a cluttered mess into a 75-yard touchdown run and followed that with a one-yard plunge during the fourth quarter. But he did so against the second-team defense, relegated there despite his starting experience over the past two seasons. Albert Reid, who carried 17 times for 79 yards, and Jacquille Veii, who carried nine times for 75 yards, split repetitions with the starters.
And that is without mentioning Wes Brown, the running back who many presume to be the position's most talented. Back from a semester-long suspension, Brown did not receive a single carry, though he has impressed throughout the spring.
"It's fun," Reid said. "We get to compete against each other but at the same time we're helping each other out, we're joking around. At the end of the day there's always going to be competition, wherever you go. It's D-I football. Those guys work just as hard as I do. But you have to learn to keep going and encourage each other. This is how we do it."
When the dust finally settles, sometime around the opener versus James Madison in late August, Maryland will find itself with a four-deep rotation at running back. Yet the dust continues to swirl. Ross and Reid opened the spring as co-starters. Veii and Reid shared that distinction on Friday. Soon, a new depth chart will emerge. That may shift things even further.
"On a college team, you want to have that much depth, so if one guy gets injured or tired you want somebody else to go in," Reid said. "In the Big Ten, that's where they run the ball at. You're going to need two, three backs. It's good that we get to compete against each other every day."
So far, according to Coach Randy Edsall, no clear-cut starter has emerged, a trend that has lingered for the past two seasons. Without Brown, Ross handled the lion's share of legwork last fall, averaging 4.7 yards on 166 carries, 26 more than anyone else on the team. Reid (70 carries) and Veii (39 carries) both chipped in, and Edsall evidently saw enough progress to elevate them above Ross this spring.
"It's a good thing," Edsall said. "I don't know who our starter is. I think we'll have Albert and Jacquille and Wes and Brandon all competing. As we get back to preseason camp, it's a great thing to have. Competition is what you need and we have that at that position."
This creates a unique situation of hyper-competitive running backs also practicing cautiously, knowing full well that one error could tip the scales, at least for that day.
"It's a battle every time we get to practice," Ross said. "The running back group is in that situation where if you make one mistake, you come out and you may not come back on the field. It's a lot of competition, but we feed off each other and make each other better.
"You just got to play. You really can't think about it. Know what you're doing, know your responsibility, know your assignment, go out and execute as best as you can."
On Friday, that was Ross. A handoff initially appeared stuffed at the line of scrimmage, until he cut sideways and accelerated forwards. The safeties had bit up, so barely anyone touched Ross as he sped into the end zone.
Over the summer, Ross said, he wants to work on running lower and reading the defense better. The time may come when he moves back into the starting spot. Not that anything has been settled yet.
"That's not my call," Ross said. "I'm definitely making a push for the front spot."

|Applies To:
|I have upgraded to CitectSCADA version 6.00
and have used the Process Analyst to view my trends. I can see that
when I have gaps in my trend display on a trend server, that they
are being filled from the other server. Sometimes this seems to
tale a long time to complete. have you any recommendations on
improving performance?
|There are several parameters that affect
the performance of trending, from collection, display, writing to
file and gap filling. In version 6 gap filling has been improved so
that trend servers can fill gaps from the last shutdown and for
runtime gaps. In service pack A, the performance of the gap filling
will be significantly improved again by a factor of around 1000
percent. The key parameters that can directly affect the gap
filling of data in the trend files are as follows:
GapFillTime - default is 10000 ms
GapFillSamples - default is -1
MaxBackFillsAtOnce - default is 5 trends
MaxRdnSamples - default is 500 samples requested from a trend at the same time
MaxRequestLength - default is 4000 concurrent trend sample requests
With Service Pack A, you should not need to adjust these parameters. Regardless of the version used, if regular gaps are occurring, you may want to look at communications problems, performance mismatch and the trend archiving performance first. This is explained in CitectSCADA Knowledge base article Q3832.
Also In version 6, protection has been added to stop redundancy requests swamping the trend system with too much data to write to file. Requests are halted if there is too much of a backlog. So you can stop the requests from being halted as often by tuning these parameters to write to file faster.
Having addressed the above first and if you are still seeing gaps in trends you should next consider whether increasing the GapFillTime (or GapFillSamples) parameters is suitable to your requirements.
When satisfied, but gap filling performance is still very slow the other parameters can then be tuned.
MaxBackFillsAtOnce can be increased but you should observe CPU usage increases to ensure they are manageable. You can observe this after a restart of a redundant server. Tune this in conjunction with increasing the MaxRdnSamples parameter. Try doubling theses from 5 to 10 and from 500 to 1000 respectively. Iterate the doubling as necessary by observing the following:
In the CitectSCADA Kernel on the trend server, in the Main window type "Page Queue" then on this page use the Page Down key until you see the Trn.Rdn.GapFillDelayQ. Time how long is required for the queue to clear. If you know how long your trend gaps were (eg after a shutdown and restart) this will then give you a benchmark of performance. You can then vary the parameters if you want to improve performance.
You should watch that CPU usage is not adversely affected.
If you increase MaxRdnSamples above 4000 then you will need to also increase MaxRequestLength as this will limit the samples to 4000.
If you are using fast trends (samples rates less than one second) then you should observe large gap fill performance increases by following these suggestions.
If you modify these trend parameters agressively to improve trend backfill performance, you may notice delays in refreshing your trend display when changing the trend time base on a trend page.

About five million years ago, I decided to revamp and relaunch my blog. I swore that the revamping would be done by my wife's late-April birthday … and then by my mid-May business trip to Los Angeles … and then by my son's mid-June birthday … and then by my daughter's mid-July birthday … and then by my late-July vacation … and, lastly, by the time I attended the mid-August New Media Expo in Las Vegas.
Well, three cheers for hours of time alone in a Vegas hotel room.
So, yes, I'm at the expo in Vegas, and today is the final day. After spending most of last night and all of the wee hours of this morning tweaking and writing, I have, at long last, finally launched this goddamn—ahem, I mean delightful—blog.
As explained in the "F.A.Q" section on the "About" page, the bulk of the blog's content currently comprises entries originally posted at my previous blog's URL. Sadly, after getting off to an ambitious start, I let that blog die on the vine. But, lo and behold, it has now risen from the ashes in a new and improved—and more anonymous—form.
Yes, I have chosen to maintain my anonymity this time around … not necessarily because I don't want you to know who I am, but because I'm doing a lot of writing about my family—particularly my children—and I believe they are entitled to some degree of anonymity. Of course, this is a shame, because it prevents me, for example, from coming right out and telling you for just which publication I am employed as a music journalist and podcaster … but, hey, life's full of trade-offs. (Obviously, a number of you already do know who I am, but I'm not worried about you cats; it's the rest of the Internet I'm talking to here.)
Wondering why I went with the name "Daddy Scratches"? That, too, is answered in the "F.A.Q." section on the "About" page.
Interested in some of my greatest hits? Well, there's the time I almost burned down my kitchen, or the time I couldn't free my daughter from a bath seat in which she'd become trapped, or the detailed account of my vasectomy (which, in retrospect, is a fairly embarrassing experience to share so openly with the Internet, and is probably another good reason for me to maintain a bit of anonymity; you wouldn't want me to hold a gem like that back, would you?).
And, in the name-dropping, "Wow, look at me!" column, there are the tales of my adventures with Van Halen and Sammy Hagar, and semi-misadventure with Army of Anyone.
With any luck, some of you will enjoy the blog, leave comments, tell your friends, and keep coming back for more. Should that end up being the case, then let me both thank you for your support and congratulate you on your exceptional good taste.

[Ed. – The world is mocking our President. Solution: Since a new world is difficult to establish, how about a less pathetic President?]
Russia's ambassador to the United States this morning had a telling retort when asked about President Obama's comments that Russia is a "regional power acting out of weakness."
"If you consider Russia 'a regional power,'" he said, "look at our region — it is from Europe to Asia." President Vladimir Putin has talked up a Eurasian Union as his anti-Western alternative to the European Union, and close advisers to Putin believe in a vision for a unified Eurasian culture in opposition to the liberal West.
When ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked the ambassador whether Russia would consider pulling back from Crimea as a condition of a diplomatic solution, he wasn't taken too seriously either: "What kind of 'from Crimea' are you talking about?" Ambassador Kislyak said. "We are talking about territory of Russian Federation [sic]."
Crimea, he said, is now part of Russia, because "there was an expressed will of people living in Crimea to become part of Russian Federation."

With dramatically beautiful rainforests, mountains and beaches, lovely cities and enchanting people, Colombia should be among the world's most attractive and intoxicating destinations. Unfortunately, the current guerrilla war, combined with ongoing activities of cocaine cartels, has made much of Colombia - dubbed 'Locombia' (the mad country) by the press - off limits to all but the most foolhardy travelers. The good news is that it's still possible to enjoy Colombia's colorful swirl of myth and mysticism. As long as you avoid all overland travel and stick to major cities and touristed areas, pay attention to the news, and keep your wits about you at all times, you'll get a safe and healthy dose of what is arguably the most underrated travel destination on the continent.
More Information
- Where to go
- When to go
- Money & Costs
- History
- Culture
The Colombian calendar is awash with festivals, carnivals, fairs and beauty pageants. Some of the biggest events include: Carnaval de Blancos y Negros (Pasto; January); Semana Santa (Holy Week) (most prominent celebrations are in Popayán and Mompós; March or April); Feria de las Flores (Medellín; August); and Reinado del Coco (San Andrés; November).
Bogotá: Bogotá, the country's capital, is the quintessence of all things Colombian: a city of futuristic architecture, a vibrant and diverse cultural and intellectual life, splendid colonial churches and brilliant museums. It is also a city of Dickensian waifs, beggars, shantytowns, drug dealers and traffic jams. This amazing mixture of prosperity and poverty, Maseratis and mules, makes it one of the world's most chaotic, fascinating and aggressive metropolises. Sights to look out for include: Museo del Oro, which contains many relics of pre-Colombian history and is perhaps the most important museum of its kind in the world; Museo Nacional, which contains a wealth of exhibits ranging from pre-Columbian to contemporary art; Iglesia de Santa Clara, with its fresco-lined interior, images and altarpieces; Iglesia de San Ignacio, one of the most richly decorated churches in the country; the colonial barrio of La Candelaria, the oldest quarter in the city; Cerro de Monserrate, a peak flanking the city which is famous as a site of many miracles; and Jardin Botánico José Celestino Mutis, a lovely botanical garden featuring a variety of national flora.
Walking the city's streets and observing the mad to-ing and fro-ing, the avalanches of busetas, the extravagant stores and roadside stalls, is as fascinating as contemplating the serene atmosphere of the city's colonial churches and museums, so give yourself plenty of time for this sort of exploration. It's worth hanging out and watching the buskers at the Plaza de Santander, browsing at the Sunday flea market at Mercado de las Pulgas and looking (but not buying) at the street emerald market at the southwestern corner of Avenida Jiménez and Carrera 7. There is also a lively arts and entertainment scene that features theater and classical musical, discos amplifying sinuous Cuban rhythms in the trendy Zona Rosa, around Carrera 15, plus plenty of venues for watching soccer and bullfighting. Most budget travelers gravitate to La Candelaria, which has cheap accommodation and food. Fifty kilometers (31mi) northeast of Bogotá is the colonial town of Guatavita and the famous Laguna de Guatavita, the ritual center and sacred lake of the Musica Indians, and the cradle of the El Dorado myth.
Cartagena & the Caribbean Coast: Cartagena de Indias are legendary both for its history and its beauty. It has been immortalized on countless canvases, glorified in hundreds of books and had its every detail photographed a zillion times - and, as Colombia's most fascinating city, it deserves every one of these tributes. The walled old town of this fortified Spanish colonial port is a gem. It's packed with churches, monasteries, plazas, palaces and noble mansions with overhanging balconies and shady patios. It pays to just wander through the old town, but some of the highlights are the Palacio de la Inquisición; the colonial mansion Casa del Marqués de Valdehoyos; and the lovely old port of Cartagena on the Bahía de las Ánimas. The less touristy Getsemaní, the outer walled town, also has charming pockets but is not so well-preserved. Nearby, there are a handful of impressive Spanish forts, including the 17th-century Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas, undoubtedly the greatest and strongest fortress ever built by the Spaniards in their colonies. The Islas del Rosario, 30km (20mi) offshore southwest of Cartegena, have magnificent coral reefs and abundant marine life, making them popular with snorkelers and scuba divers.
The L-shaped peninsula south of the old town contains the upmarket holiday resorts of Bocagrande and El Laguito. Most budget travelers stay in Getsemaní; there are mid-range options in the old town. Other highlights of Colombia's Caribbean coast include the town of Mompós, which is an architectural showcase; the beaches of the Parque Nacional Tayrona; the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the tallest coastal mountain range in the world; the mud volcanoes of Arboletes; and, deep in the jungle, the ancient city of the Tayrona Indians, La Ciudad Perdida, which is the largest archaeological find in the Americas this century.
The Northwest: The northwest is made up of two large regions: the Chocó department (an extensive stretch of tropical rainforest, sparsely populated, and including the lovely Los Katiós National Park); and the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, Risaralda and Quindío (a mountainous region, predominantly white, and the location of the dynamic industrial and commercial city of Medellín). The oldest town in the northwest is Santa Fe de Antioquia, about 80km (50mi) northwest of Medellín, which still retains much of its colonial architecture and atmosphere.
The Southwest: The two biggest attractions in the southwest are the archaeological sites of San Agustín and Tierradentro, and the colonial city of Popayán. Both San Agustín and Tierradentro are littered with ancient statues, tombs and burial mounds, while Popayán has many churches, museums and streets lined with colonial mansions. Cali, Colombia's third-largest city, is noted more for its laid-back atmosphere than its tourist attractions.
The most pleasant time to visit Colombia is in the dry season, but there are no major obstacles to general sightseeing in the wet period. Most Colombians take their vacations between late December and mid-January, so transport is more crowded and hotels tend to fill up faster at this time.

Colombia is not an expensive country. Budget travelers can get by on around US$10 per day; while those staying in more comfortable hotels and eating at restaurants will spend around US$20-30 per day. Splurgers should budget on US$50-70 a day. Some banks change cash and/or travelers' checks, but others don't. Some branches of a bank will change your money while other branches of the same bank will refuse. This seems to vary constantly from bank to bank, city to city, day to day, and can be further complicated by a myriad of local factors, eg the bank may have reached its daily limit of foreign exchange. On top of that, the banks usually offer foreign exchange services within limited hours, which may mean only one or two hours daily; your best chances are in the morning. You can change cash dollars on the street, but it's not recommended.
The only street money markets worth considering are those at the borders, where there may be simply no alternative. You can use credit cards (Visa is the most widely accepted) for car rental, air tickets and in most top-end hotels and restaurants. Plastic money is also becoming popular for purchasing goods and payment for services in many other commercial establishments. There are an increasing number of cajeros automáticos (automatic teller machines); these accept Visa and MasterCard and pay out in pesos.
Pre-Columbian cultures existed in scattered pockets in the Andean region and on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Among the most outstanding were the Tayrona, Sinú, Muisca, Quimbaya, Tierradentro and San Agustín. Many of the tribes produced accomplished goldwork and pottery, and some left behind burial chambers and rock paintings which have helped anthropologists piece together their cultures. Alonso de Ojeda, a companion of Christopher Columbus, landed on the Guajira Peninsula in 1499. The wealth of the local Indians promulgated the myth of El Dorado, and the shores of present-day Colombia became the target of numerous expeditions.
The Indians originally tolerated the arrival of the Spaniards but rebelled when the colonists tried to enslave them and confiscate their lands. Soon, a large part of what became Colombia had been conquered by the Spanish, and a number of towns, including Cartagena (founded in 1533), were prospering. In 1544, the country was incorporated into the viceroyalty of Peru, where it remained until 1739 when it became a part of New Granada (comprising the territories of what are today Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama).Along with slavery, the Spanish monopoly over commerce, taxes and duty slowly gave rise to protest, particularly towards the end of the 18th century.
It was during this period that the first stirrings of national autonomy occurred, but it wasn't until 1819, and the appearance of Venezuelan liberator Simon Bolívar and his army, that independence was achieved. Ten years of uneasy confederation with Venezuela and Ecuador followed in the form of Gran Colombia, until regional differences between the three finally undermined the union. Political currents born in the struggle for independence were formalized in 1849 when two parties (dominated by creole elites) were established: the Conservatives with centralist tendencies and the Liberals with federalist leanings. The parties divided the nation into partisan camps, which eventually heralded insurrection, civil chaos and war. In the course of the 19th century, the country experienced no less than 50 insurrections and eight civil wars, culminating in the bloody War of a Thousand Days in 1899. After a period of relative peace, the struggle between the Conservatives and the Liberals broke out again in 1948 with La Violencia, the most cruel and destructive of Colombia's many civil wars. Close to 300,000 died in the conflict as the Conservatives tried to consolidate a new era of power.
When it became evident that the conflict was developing revolutionary overtones, both parties decided to support a military coup as the best means to retain power and rein in the growing band of rebels camped in the countryside. The resulting coup - by General Gustavo Rojas in 1953 - proved the only military intervention Colombia has experienced this century. It was shortlived, however, falling in 1957 when the Liberals and Conservatives agreed (now under the guise of the National Front) to share power for the next 16 years. The National Front formally came to an end in 1974, when Liberal President Alfonso López Michelsen was elected, but a modified version of the two-party system continued for another 17 years. In the meantime, the political monopoly encouraged the emergence of a number of left-wing guerrilla groups such as the National Liberation Army (ELN), Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the April 19 Movement (M19). They failed to dislodge the government, but undermined its ability to govern properly. Another pressing threat was the setting of paramilitary death squads against any group (regardless of political persuasion) that sought to oppose the powerful drug cartels in Medellín and Cali.
By 1990, escalating violence (increasingly leveled at members of the ruling political class) threatened to bring the country to a standstill. A new constitution came into effect in 1991 which provided greater judicial powers and strengthened government control. In June of that year, Pablo Escobar, head of the Medellín cocaine cartel and alleged mastermind of the bloody campaign of terror, surrendered. A year later, he escaped, but was finally located and killed in December 1993. Drug trafficking continues to grow (courtesy of the pragmatic Cali cartel), bringing in an estimated US$5 billion a year. The arrest of Cali cartel leader Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela in June 1995 was a feather in the government's cap but did little to radically alter the dynamics of the Colombian drug trade. Even then-president Ernesto Samper was forced to spend much of his last years in office refuting allegations that drug money financed his election campaign. Samper's Liberal Party succesor, Horacio Serpa, lost the June 1998 presidential election to conservative Andres Pastrana, who in 1994 had blown the whistle on Samper's Cali connections. Despite strong economic growth from 1993 through to 1996, 'things' continue to go wrong for Colombia.
According to SIPRI, el Instituto Internacional de Investigaciòn Sobre Paz, the internal conflict in Colombia is amongst the 10 most bloody in the world and last year almost equalled that of Yugoslavia. The government has suspended peace talks with guerrillas indefinitely. In 2000, the United States approved $1.3 billion in aid to support the Colombian government's struggle against the guerrillas.
Colombia is an ethnic mosaic, reflected in its culture, folklore, arts and crafts. The different roots and traditions of the Indians, Spanish and Africans have produced interesting fusions, particularly in crafts, sculpture and music. Pre-Columbian art consists primarily of stone sculpture, pottery and goldwork. Indian basketware, weaving and pottery date back to pre-Columbian times but now fuse modern techniques with traditional designs. Colombian music incorporates both the African rhythms of the Caribbean, Cuban salsa and heavily Spanish-influenced Andean music. Colombia's literary giant is Gabriel García Márquez, whose works mix myths, dreams and reality in a style critics have dubbed 'magic realism'. García Márquez insists his work is documentary, which says a lot about the nature, rhythm and perception of life in Colombia. The best of Colombia's exciting new writers is Moreno Durán, who has been burdened with the reputation of being the best Latin American novelist to emerge since the regional upsurge in literary talent in the 1950s. Spanish is Colombia's official language and, except for some remote Indian tribes, all Colombians speak it. There are also about 75 Indian languages still used in the country. While the education system includes English in its curriculum, it remains little known and rarely spoken.
Catholicism remains the dominant religion although over three million followers have recently left the Catholic faith and hooked up to other congregations (Anglican, Lutheran, Mormon, etc) or various religious sects. Colombian cuisine consists largely of chicken, pork, potato, rice, beans and soup. Interesting regional dishes include: ajiaco (soup made with chicken and potato which is a Bogotano speciality); hormiga culona (a sophisticated dish, unique to Santander, consisting largely of fried ants); and lechona (whole suckling pig, spit-roasted and stuffed with rice, which is a speciality of Tolima). The variety of fruit is astounding, the coffee and beer more than adequate and the wine execrable.

Musk Extreme takes its origin from a formula that dates back to 1928, where a sparkling aldehydic structure was enriched with bergamot, iris absolute, vanilla, rose, civet and musk. In an attempt to modernize this classic formulation and further bring out the clean, sensual, aphrodisiac properties, Perris infused this original formula with a generous amount of modern musks, keeping the compelling brightness and classic feel of the original while adding a contemporary, youthful edginess that will keep you sniffing again and again. Every aspect of musk, from the refreshing breeziness to the seductive warmth, is on full display. As a result, we think musk fans throughout history - from Pulaka to Empress Josephine and all the way through to today- will wholeheartedly approve.
Top Notes: Bergamot
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Rose, Carnation
Base Notes: Amber, Musk, Iris, Vanilla, Coumarin

The Perfect Prime Rib Roast, The Easiest & Foolproof Recipe You Will Find
Need to cook a perfect prime rib roast without the stress? You won't believe how easy and foolproof this recipe is that will guarantee you very satisfying results. Over 2,000 people who tried it gave the recipe 5 Stars, so trust us when we say you'll never need another recipe again. Thank you Chef John!
You get a perfectly pink, medium-rare prime rib, just slightly a shade under. It's tender, delicious and everyone will truly enjoy this. When choosing your meat, make sure it's graded Prime or Choice, not Select, which is leaner and lacks that prime rib flavor.
Doing it simple is best. Prime rib is a very flavorful main dish, so for a side dish, go for a simple baked potato and a few roasted root vegetables — or sautéed green beans in butter and garlic. This will bring out the maximum flavor of your prime rib and overall enjoyment of your meal. Pair with red wine Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah or Pinot Noir. It's delicious!
"This is a specific formula for achieving a perfectly pink prime rib cooked somewhere a shade under medium rare." – Chef John
Roast Preparation & Cook time: 10 minutes / 2 hours 20 minutes
Beef Au Jus Preparation & Cook time: 5 minutes / 10 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
- 4 pounds prime rib roast
- 1/4 Cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 Tbs freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tsp herbes de Provence
- Kosher salt
Beef Au Jus
- 1/4 Cup beef fat drippings from a prime rib or other roast beef (see footnote)
- 1 1/2 Tbs all-purpose flour
- 2 Cups beef broth
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Prime Rib
- About 4 hours before cooking, put prime rib roast on a plate and bring to room temperature, about 4 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 500°F (260°C)
- Combine butter, pepper, and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until well blended. Spread butter mixture evenly over entire roast. Season roast generously with kosher salt. Position the roast fat side up.
- Roast the 4-pound prime rib in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. (See Notes)
- Turn the oven off and, leaving the roast in the oven with the door closed, let the roast sit in the oven for 2 hours (DO NOT open the oven during those 2 hours). Remove roast from the oven and quickly prepare your Beef Au Jus.
Beef Au Jus
- Melt fat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into beef fat; cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Pour beef broth into fat mixture; increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.
- Boil mixture until it thickens slightly; season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
- Your cooking times will vary depending on the size of your prime rib roast. To calculate your cooking time, multiply the exact weight of the roast by 5. Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500°F for exactly that many minutes. For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6×5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and wait 2 hours before opening the oven door. Remove the prime rib and slice into the most perfectly medium-rare meat you've ever seen.

Cindy.Therkildsen (posted 5 years 2 months ago) report
The tutorial for this project is here: http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/pdfs/PAPERBAGALBUMTUTORIAL.pdf (This will open the pdf file so you can print or download to your computer) I covered every page with the Fresh Cut Blossoms Paper Pack. I used a border punch to make borders for the edges of every page in contrasting colors. On the cover I used 2 of the flower stamps and 1 of the leaves from the Fresh Cut Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers on the yellowish-gold paper and the leaves on the teal-green, cut them out with my fine tip scissors and arranged them on the front with a glue stick. I used the computer for the word "Recipes" on the front and cut that and the mat out using the 2 largest sizes of spellbinders small rectangles and my cuttlebug. I am using the 3 x 6 white tags for recipe cards. I'm in the process of covering them front and back with papers from the paper pack. Then I am using cut-down index cards to put front and back for writing down recipes. This makes an excellent gift!

Today we hosted a group of Tucson Jewish Community Center special needs folk at the pond. In addition to interacting with them, and showing them our boats, we provided everyone in attendance with ice cream. It was a big hit with our visitors. Our racing stopped for about 45 minutes as all of our members got involved. Yummy Life, a local ice cream vendor at Reid Park, supplied the ice cream treats.
Here is a brief description of the activity provided by its staff.
JCC mission: The JCC hosts the Taglit Day Program, which provides a small supportive group of young adults, with special needs, a full-day program designed to explore, cultivate, and maximize each individual's potential.

Sir Savigny hotel is a new hotel in Berlin created for 'the modern aristocrat'. The love for design is obvious when you take one glance at one of the 44 rooms in this hotel. Designed by Saar Zafrir the hotel rooms are based on great design movements of the past. However they managed to make the rooms feel modern instead of old-fashioned. The excellent craftsmanship and beautiful furniture pieces give the rooms a very luxurious atmosphere. Throughout the hotel you will find carefully selected artwork and a well equipped library. Located on the ground floor is The Butcher designed by Baranowitz + Kronenberg Architecture. In the Butcher you can enjoy some Scottish meat and regional dishes. Sir Savigny Hotel in Berlin certainly looks like a place where I'd love to stay. The rooms are so beautiful and cozy. No impersonal feeling hotel room in this place!

How *late* would you call MW?

The more I think about the birth I'm trying to achieve and feel comfortable with, the more I'm considering just calling the MW at the very very end, right when I feel pushy (she's only 15min away).
I've only had 1 appt, so who knows if I'll mesh better with her at the others, but I just feel like she is a bit too medically for my tastes. I'm not sure if she is understanding how "hippy" I am, but there are plenty of appts. to discuss our feelings etc....
But truthfully, the thought of doing this (mostly) on my own is what appeals to me the most. Not for a glorified/hero type of things, it is just what feels
to me.
I would appreciate help/care during the pushing and afterbirth care, but I prefer to be left alone (from medical ppl) during the labor (took 2 births to figure this out!).

Oftentimes it's the behind-the-scenes companies that make investors rich. The companies that the average person might have never heard of, but use some form of their products every day. Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) is one such company and is a world leader in agricultural processing as well as having a vast transportation network that gives them an advantage over smaller players in the industry. Archer Daniels Midland has paid a dividend every year since 1927 and increased it for the last 39 consecutive years. Shares of Archer Daniels Midland are trading around $44.70 giving investors a current yield of 2.51%.
The following tables/graphs are taken from my personal stock analysis spreadsheet. Data for the stock analysis was sourced from Archer Daniels Midland Company's investor relations page, Morningstar, and Yahoo Finance.
Historic Growth Rates:
Owners of Archer Daniels Midland have received average returns over the last decade. According to longrundata.com, shares of ADM have earned investors a total return of 117.2% or 8.1% annualized over the last decade. Those numbers are market returns at specific snapshots in time and aren't necessarily indicative of the business results over the same time period. Looking at the historic growth rates for per share dividends, earnings, revenue, and free cash flow gives a better idea of the true operational results that Archer Daniels Midland has delivered.

Archer Daniels Midland Co. Is Approaching Buy Territory
2 comments:
I'm very bullish on ADM long term. Reason being, China and India are going to put about a billion people into the middle class over the next twenty years. It is a sure bet they will eat more meat and more processed convenience foods. Both mean higher global demand for grains.ReplyDelete
I love ADM! I've recently started a dividend portfolio and ADM is the first company that I bought! I'm starting to develop a dividend application(windows 7/8/10) to keep track of your own dividends. Please check out my blog and portfolio, thanks!ReplyDelete

Halton Commercial Kitchen Ventilation
The professional kitchen is a very challenging and demanding environment. The profitability and competitiveness of each foodservice operation are directly related to cost-efficiency, productivity and health level in a kitchen environment.
Ravenscroft supplies Halton Capture Jet canopies, which prevent spreading of the heat and impurities produced by cooking into the work area. The hoods deliver a small air jet that pushes the rising thermal current to the Halton KSA grease filters. Capture Jet hoods are 30% more efficient, due to their lower air flow rates, which adds up to direct savings on running and initial costs.
Many kitchens require emission control in their exhaust systems to comply with the increasing demand for environment-friendly operations. The Capture Ray UV hoods are based on Halton's patented Capture Jet solution, advanced mechanical KSA filter technology, and a UV-C system for the destruction of grease generated in the cooking process - all of which mean clean ducts and improved fire safety.
Advantages of Halton Kitchen Hoods
Halton kitchen hoods have numerous advantages compared to the standard kitchen ventilation units.
Cost savings
They require lower airflow volumes, only 50-66% compared to ordinary kitchen hoods. As a result Halton kitchen hoods require smaller fans and ducting, which provides savings in the building costs. Also, the running costs of Halton hoods are lower due to lower fan power requirements and air conditioning needs.
Better kitchen environment
Halton kitchen hoods are very quiet when compared to standard hoods and especially well suited for teaching and show kitchens. With their lower air volumes Halton hoods also provide and pleasant environment for the kitchen staff to work in.
Halton's Capture Jet technology removes cooking vapours much more effectively than standard kitchen hoods. This means a better air quality and a more comfortable environment for the chefs, as well confidence that the maximum amount of carcinogenic cooking fumes have been removed the kitchen.
UV hoods and grease capture
Halton hoods capture grease very effectively, but also very easy to clean. The UV kitchen hoods make kitchen exhaust virtually odourless and make discharging to a low level possible.
Halton kitchen hoods are easy to install and commission and are an alternative solution to AS1668.2.

Casting Tidbits: Tom Hardy, Old Spice Guy, Tina Fey, Zac Efron
by Ethan Anderton
July 29, 2010
You think I'm licked. You all think I'm licked. Well, I'm not licked, and I'm gonna stay right here and fight for this lost cause even if this room gets filled with Casting Tidbits like these, and the Taylors and all their armies come marching into this place. Somebody'll listen to me. First, more replacements in McG's action comedy This Means War. Vulture reports Tom Hardy (Inception, Bronson) has taken the role that was previously offered to Sam Worthington in the story of two best friends and veteran spies (Hardy/Chris Pine) against each other when they both fall for the same girl (Reese Witherspoon). Hardy vs. Pine? Yes, please!
Second, THR reports Tina Fey and Meryl Streep will both star in Mommy & Me, a comedy directed by Stanley Tucci that will see the actresses as mother-and-daughter. The specifics of the story are being kept under wraps but it's supposed to focus on the thorny and funny sides of mother-daughter relationships. If this film had anyone else involved besides Streep and Fey, I would be far less interested, but I love both of them so much. However, I've heard that Tucci's 2007 film Blind Date was a laughable entry at the Sundance Film Festival, so I'll be cautiously optimistic from here on out.
Next, Deadline reports that Steve Coogan (Hamlet 2, Tropic Thunder) is the latest to join the cast of My Idiot Brother, the indie comedy from director Jesse Peretz starring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Rashida Jones and Adam Scott. The story follows three sisters who find their stupid sibling inadvertently bringing truth, happiness and a sunny disposition into their lives along with some craziness. No details on what character Coogan will play in the film, but I'd like him to bring some laughs to the table.
Also, EW's Hollywood Insider reports Lee Pace (The Fall, "Pushing Daisies") is at the top of the list to join the cast of Breaking Dawn, the final chapter of The Twilight Saga (yes, even more of those vampire movies). Pace would play Edward Cullen's best friend in the final chapter of the series featuring glittering vampires, wooden-acted werewolves and one of the most submissive, poorly written female character in the past decade. This would be the first new addition to the cast from director Bill Condon who is at the helm for both parts (they're taking the Harry Potter route and milking the cash cow for all it's worth) of the finale.
In addition, Vulture reports that Zac Efron has lined up two more starring vehicles in addition to his other projects in development. The first will see him taking the lead in the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel The Lucky One, the story of a soldier who returns from Iraq with a picture of a girl that became his good luck charm. I guess this means Daniel Radcliffe won't be involved as was once thought. The second project is on the opposite end of the spectrum with Efron hitting some hard action with Die in a Gunfight. The story would have Efron play Ben, an underachieving, deadbeat son of a famous New York high-society attorney who gets himself in over his head when he falls for the daughter of his father's nemesis; a girl who is already busy being stalked by an obsessive French professor. If Efron can keep this kind of variety up, then he's got quite a career ahead of him.
Finally, look down. Now look back at me. What's in your hand? Back at me. Here I have a report from THR that Isiah Mustafa, the man who has famously become known as "The Old Spice Guy" on the interwebs, has landed a role in the ensemble comedy Horrible Bosses starring Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and more. Mustafa revealed that he's playing a cop, but he's not sure yet who he's sharing his scene with just yet. Hopefully that cop will turn his billy club to diamonds and suddenly ride out of the scene on a horse, because that would be totally amazing.
Well, that's all for this edition of Casting Tidbits. Be sure to stay tuned for more casting updates on the way.

Unanswered: Form Load question
I have a counter that computes in the following format (mmyyseq#) the seq# resets back to 000 and the beginning of each month. This is working fine, however on the form load I noticed that it is doubling each time.
When I step through the code, I notice that the form loads once and then again. I have a subform but I don't think this is causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Dim s As String Dim mNum As Integer Seq_Number = NewSeqNumber(Seq_Number.Value) If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False mNum = Me.sfrmQuestionsAnswers.Form.Recordset.RecordCount 'Populate tblAnswer s = "INSERT INTO tblAnswers ( QuestionID, Seq_Number )" _ & " SELECT QuestionID, " & Me.Seq_Number _ & " FROM tblQuestions " _ & " WHERE tblQuestions.IsActive=True;" CurrentDb.Execute s Me.sfrmQuestionsAnswers.Requery======================

only twice is quite good - with a little effort you could achieve much worse.
you don't provide complete code so i can't provide a complete answer.
my preference is to dissociate the _Load event from code that should run once when the form loads. i use the timer (designtime TimerInterval = 1) and zero code in the _Load event apart from insisting on the timerinterval:
me.timerinterval = 1
...the timer does NOT tick until the _Load event (with its subforms ...possibly the root cause of your issue is _Load interaction between various forms) has completed.
then in _Timer
'switch off the run-once timer
me.timerinterval = 0
'do my run-once "_Load" stuff
...this _Timer event kicks off 1 millisecond after the _Load event has fully completed.
the alternative approach is boring and involves tracking down what is triggering which event at _Load (_Open, _Current etc etc etc). breakpoint the first line of _Load and F8 it through all the way to the end to see what is happening if this is the route you prefer.

This for a questionaire form and I am trying to preload the questions. The counter is working fine. When I worked on the code and tested it in a command button it incremented correctly.
Why would the form load do it twice? That is what I can't understand.======================

Woodgate eyes strong finish
Jonathan Woodgate has called on his Tottenham team-mates to keep pushing for a higher position.
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 23/03/08 1:24pm
Jonathan Woodgate has called on his Tottenham team-mates to keep pushing for a higher position in the Premier League.
Currently 11th in the Premier League, Spurs have no worries over relegation and have already booked qualification for Europe by winning the Carling Cup.
However, Woodgate believes a strong finish to the season would set Spurs up well for next term.
"Because we've won a trophy and qualified for Europe again, people are saying we're not bothered now, but that's far from the truth," he told the Sunday Times.
"We want to win as many games as we can to push ourselves up the league.
"We've got the players to do a lot better next season, and I'm sure the manager will add to the squad in the summer. Pressure for your place brings that bit extra out of you."
Woodgate joined Spurs from Middlesbrough in the January transfer window and he feels the move has helped him rediscover his hunger for the game.
He explained: "At Middlesbrough there was no European football and I need that to push myself on to another level.
"I didn't want to stay up there and have an easy life, and there was a danger of me falling into that comfort zone.
"I've got that winning mentality again. It's what we had at Real Madrid and it's the same here because Juande Ramos instils it into you."

CLS research makes progress on dealing with stroke effects
SASKATOON – Scientists have made progress toward dealing with the aftermath of stroke.
Using the Canadian Light Source located at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and the Synchrotron Radiation Centre in Wisconsin, scientists have uncovered a new method for better understanding how stroke damages the brain.
"I am fascinated by the chemical reasons behind how we think and how that information could be applied to help stroke victims," said Dr. Mark Hackett, who led the team conducting the research.
Hackett said a stroke is like lighting the fuse on a bomb as it activates pathways in the brain that may later cause severe damage.
The research validated the use of a new imaging approach to study the chemical pathways in the brain.
