It's grilling/bbq season.
What's going on the grill at your place?
For me, I got some thick bone-in pork chops marinating in some Hawaiian/Teriyaki sauce that I'm gonna grill hot to get a good crisp on, then broil some brussel sprouts with garlic, olive oil, and sea salt - topped with parmesan, do up some wild rice and serve it with a rich peppery Syrah.

The CertIFR for SMEs has been launched by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) to ensure finance professionals understand the details of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) that has been introduced for SMEs.
The IFRS for SMEs has been adopted in many countries and its use is spreading. It will be essential for many finance professionals - especially those working in, and for, the SME sector - to understand this standard that will be used by the millions of companies within its scope.
This IFRS has significant disclosure reductions to the full IFRS for larger companies, and different accounting treatments for some items such as goodwill.The aim of the certificate is to ensure finance professionals will understand how the IFRS for SMEs is used around the world and know how to use it in practice. It will also enable them to examine its fundamental requirements for the benefit of preparers, auditors and users of financial statements.
Alan Hatfield, director - learning at ACCA, said: 'The certificate is available on-demand so it fits around people's jobs and lives. The course is not just for those who want formal recognition; if you value the extra knowledge you can just take the course without completing the online assessment. This certificate will also provide CPD to ACCA members.'

California Democratic insiders are crowing about Mitt Romney's choice of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, saying the pick helps the Obama campaign, according to a Patch snap poll conducted over the weekend.
Republicans, meanwhile, said adding Ryan to the ticket could refocus the presidential campaign on economic issues and sway undecided voters—though not enough to turn the tide in true-blue California, some said.
Patch sent survey questions to 79 Republican and 63 Democratic party activists and elected officials within 48 hours of Romney's announcement. Twenty-one Democrats and 21 Republicans responded.
More than three-quarters of Democratic respondents said Romney's choice of Ryan—the chairman of the House Budget Committee and a strong advocate for cutting taxes and domestic spending—would galvanize California Democrats.
The pick "cements the image of Romney as ideologically committed to dismantling public support for middle class needs (education, health, broad based employment)," one Democrat wrote.
Eighty-one percent of Democrats strongly or somewhat agreed that Ryan's presence on the GOP ticket would help Obama win senior citizens' votes in California, while 90 percent agreed with the statement: "Now that Ryan is on the ticket, Democrats can win by running against Ryan's existing budget plans and particularly his proposal for Medicare."
Republicans: Choice Will Energize GOP Base
Republicans who responded to the unscientific survey cited Ryan's fiscal conservatism and ability to appeal to the GOP base as strong selling points.
The pick "shows Romney is serious about addressing fiscal and economic issues," one Republican wrote.
"It provides a theme for the Romney campaign that didn't exist before," added another. "It also hopefully moves the dialogue away from Romney's personal finances and experiences at Bain Capital."
Forty-eight percent of Republicans agreed that Ryan could help win over California's undecided voters, while 43% disagreed and 10% were neutral.
"It will definitely energize the GOP base, but him on the ticket doesn't suddenly put California in play," one insider commented. California hasn't gone for a Republican presidential candidate since favoring George Bush over Michael Dukakis in 1988.
Regardless of California's fate, more than three-quarters of Republicans disagreed that the Democrats could win nationally by attacking Ryan's budget plans, while only 10% agreed. And some even expressed hope that Californians could learn from the VP pick's tough talk on budgeting.
"The pick of Ryan will help educate voters in California about the importance of limited government and how we cannot spend our way into prosperity," wrote one Republican.
Insiders from both parties characterized Ryan as smart and charismatic.
"Whether or not someone agrees with his politics, the Paul Ryan VP candidacy provides a worthy adversary to the Obama-Biden campaign and a clear distinction between the two tickets," one Democrat wrote.
Sandra Oshiro contributed to this report.
Patch's Red and Blue California Surveys
Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local Republican and Democratic activists, party leaders and elected officials in California. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to this weekend's questions.
Patch will be conducting Red California and Blue California surveys throughout 2012 in hopes of determining the true sentiment of conservatives and liberals on the ground in California. If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in weekly surveys that last just a few minutes, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Music from St. Mark's presents their annual Fiesta celebration this Sunday at 4 p.m. It showcases the music of Francis Poulenc, including the "Concerto for Organ in G minor" and his grand choral symphony "Gloria."
Members of the San Antonio Symphony will augment musicians of the St. Mark's Choir and featured soloist Joseph Causby.
Causby is the music director and conductor at St. Marks. He chuckles at the question: Is being a soloist and then conductor like juggling?
After his mighty "Hammerklavier Sonata," Ludwig van Beethoven continued with writing sonatas, but on a smaller and more intimate scale.
The "Sonata No. 30 in E" is a rare combination of nostalgia, youthful vigor and an antiquarian's love of baroque musical forms.
In the first movement, the music swims out of the void into being and the composer weaves passages that simultaneously project them forward and fall back into reminiscence.
In the first segment:
The promise of gold's safety lured many in uncertain economic times and the price, which was often stable, shot up over the past decade to unprecedented levels. Doomsayers predicting the collapse of the U.S. and world financial systems all bet on gold.
As the housing sector continues to rebound and the national spending begins to shrink, the price of gold has fallen more than 25 percent with analysts predicting it will continue to fall, perhaps even touching the $1,000 per ounce level.
On Tuesday Bexar County Commissioners celebrated the 5-year anniversary of the Mental Health Court.
In 2008, the program began diverting non-violent, mentally ill offenders from jail, and instead entered them into a structured treatment program and case management to stop the cycle of arrest-release-arrest that many offenders get caught in.
Judge Michael Mery, who founded the court, said people who are now recovering from drug abuse or mental illness often tell him how the court changed their lives:
House Bill 2197, which is authored by Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas, was set to continue the funding for the Texas Lottery Commission for the next 12 years.
However, the bill was initially defeated, a move that Anchia said took him by surprise:
According to a city ordinance read into the record Monday night, three-wheeled pedicabs would be allowed to take pedestrians around downtown area.
New Braunfels Mayor Gale Pospisil said there are already business people hoping to start running pedicabs as soon as possible.
"I think it will just be a nice added amenity and particularly since it does cover the historic downtown area where we have a lot of historic buildings and things. I think it will certainly be a nice attraction," Pospisil said.
My piano teacher told me about the story of Ludwig van Beethoven's creation of his biggest Piano Sonata the "Hammerklavier."
It goes back to John Broadwood sending him his best and biggest piano, and Beethoven's reply was this groundbreaking work. When I looked up to confirm what I was told, I found out the story was even more amazing.
San Antonio's District 9, which covers the city's North and Far North sides, has two candidates for city council. One of them is the incumbent for the seat, Elisa Chan, and the other is Chan's former campaign worker and chief of constituency, Jason Salinas.
Chan would like to see a third term, but Salinas said he wanted to give voters an option, so he signed up for the race on the day of the deadline.
"Democracy works best when voters are given legitimate choices, and when citizens are heard and are properly represented," Salinas said.
A bill that would bring the Lower Colorado River Authority under the review of the Sunset Commission causes sparks to fly in a House committee.
The bill also would allow the district served by the LCRA to elect the members of the quasi-governmental board rather than all 15 being appointed by Gov. Rick Perry.
The bill's author, Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin, said her second bill addresses the review of the LCRA and its activities by the Sunset Commission.
The San Antonio Conservation Society is hard at work putting together the final touches in La Villita for Night in Old San Antonio, a tradition dating back nearly 100 years.
"We started back in the 1920's when the city wanted to do an Indian festival, and so we stepped forward and put on a very short one night festival for that," said NIOSA treasurer Barb Machado. "Then it grew and they tried a couple of things along the banks of the Riverwalk and then after that they decided to turn it into this."

Fabulous and simple, these Oregon Owyhee Sunset Jasper button earrings are true Northwestern beauties. The polished jasper cabochon is framed by an elegant border of scalloped sterling silver. For a beautiful combination, wear them with the matching Owyhee sunset pendant necklace or an outfit with khaki, yellow, or orange hues. Earrings measure 5/8" long x 1/2" wide and feature sterling silver post and ear nut closures. Mined and made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Buried deep beneath Burton's headquarters lies a super-secret lab where snowboarding's most advanced sock, the women's Burton Merino Phase Sock, was created.
Pieced together using discarded space ship technology and scrap hyperbaric chamber parts, the lightweight Merino Phase is a blend of the most advanced features and materials known to sock science. These include super insulating Merino Wool, stretchy spandex, and climate controlling NanoGLIDE™. DRYRIDE Ultrawick™ Venting Toe Panels are like the dual overhead cams of socks, wicking away heat-robbing sweat at warp speed. Going one step further, the Merino Phase is also engineered with anatomical padding and an ergonomic MotionFit, which our sources tell us, will allow you to carve quicker, ollie higher, and hike higher. The future is now, step on in.

Design Features
- Medium and Extra-Density Cushioning Throughout Sock
- Quick-Drying and Stink-Proof Polypropylene Reinforced Footbed
- Lightweight
54% Nylon, 22% Merino Wool, 11% Polypropylene, 11% NanoGLIDE™, 2% Spandex
Friction causes heat, overheating leads to sweating which causes cold, clammy feet. NanoGLIDE™ acts like climate control, maintaining comfort on both fronts by eliminating friction and wicking away heat-robbing moisture. Not enough? It also ramps up abrasion-resistance so your heels don't wear out.
Elastic Arch and Ankle Support
Added elasticity and padding underneath the arch and around the ankle increases support and cushioning where it matters most.
Chafe-Free Link Toe Seam
Flat-stitched toe seam eliminates chafe and bunching for a better fit inside your boots.
Sock Lock Reinforcements
Harnessing the abrasion-resistance of NanoGLIDE™, these ankle reinforcements work with the Sock Lock panels on the inside of Burton's boot liners for improved heel hold, longevity, and comfort.
DRYRIDE Ultrawick™
Highly breathable and fast-wicking, DRYRIDE Ultrawick™ fabrics feature microscopic fibers that pull heat-robbing moisture away from your skin before they crash your party. Stretch properties enhance mobility.
DRYRIDE Venting Toe Panels
Like a breath of fresh air, this ventilated toe panel construction self-regulates comfort by improving airflow for feet that stay drier and warmer for longer.
Ergonomic, Articulated Left and Right MotionFit
With a left and right foot specific design, this anatomically shaped construction mirrors the anatomy of each foot for superior circulation and improved warmth.
Stay High Comfort Band
Keeps the sock locked around your calf with a soft, elastic band that reduces sagging and bunching.

ACCA says that with the 40 per cent income tax band set to widen in the new tax year (from 6 April 2013) to capture those with a taxable income of between £41,450 to £150,000, the planned personal tax allowance of £9,440 will be all but cancelled out for many taxpayers caught in the new higher rate tax bracket.
From 6 April, those turning 65-years-old from that date will no longer benefit from the higher personal allowance older pensioners receive, which means some pensioners, who fall into the new 40 per cent tax bracket because of income from savings, dividends and part-time work, will be bitten by their tax bill, warns ACCA.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: 'This is a classic example of giving with one hand and taking with the other. It looks good for the Government to say that they are extending the personal allowance, but it is only true for the ever shrinking population of 20 per cent taxpayers. By dropping the threshold for the 40 per cent income tax bracket, many hardworking people who will begin paying 40 per cent for the first time will lose the benefits of the increased personal allowance and they will need to pay additional tax on such things as savings and dividend income.
'This is no longer the 1980s where only a small number paid the 40 per cent income tax. Many people who are working but struggling at the lower end of that bracket will not get much respite from an increase in the personal allowance. The Chancellor of the Exchequer should use the Budget on 20 March to give taxpayers a much-needed boost and raise the personal allowance for all income tax rates otherwise it is being less than honest.'
ACCA says in the late 1980s, when the 40 per cent rate was first introduced, it was estimated just 5 per cent of workers paid 40 per cent tax, now it's more than 15 per cent.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury added: 'Let's not forget that there are other taxes working families up and down the UK must pay in addition to income tax. It's no use looking in isolation at income taxes. Add council tax, capital gains tax and VAT to the amount taken from a person's income and it begins to take its toll. Try telling struggling households it is their moral duty to pay tax when they are feeling this strain on their finances.'
Tax burden
ACCA says that despite considerable talk of a Mansion Tax it was unlikely the Government will introduce yet another tax at this time. ACCA says the fuel duty will be frozen because the Government can afford to do so. ACCA points out that the Chancellor is doing very well from increased VAT revenues on the higher fuel prices, so the duty freeze is not felt anywhere near as much by the Government.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury said: 'There is likely to be a lot of good news on the face of it, but a closer look at the small print will reveal more. It is likely the Government will announce a Married Couples Allowance, but it is highly likely only to be made available to those in the 20 per cent tax threshold.
