Tampa cafe finds a new and spicier existence as the Casa Azteca
Cardenas, a long-time chef originally from Mexico, said owning a restaurant is a dream of his, and Tampa opened the door.
"I tried to open (a restaurant) in Marion, but I don't have the opportunity," he said. "I guess (Tampa) just heard about me that I know how to cook a little bit and one time I was at the gas station and this gentleman came to me and say, 'Hector, there's some people in Tampa that want to talk to you. They're willing to help you to open a restaurant there.'"
"(I) just give everybody thanks that they gave us opportunity to open this place. They give us a chance. They opened the door for us. This is one of my dreams, that I always like to have a restaurant," he said.
The restaurant, open Fridays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., offers a variety of Mexican entrees and side dishes. He also tries keeps additional ingredients on-hand for customers who don't like traditional Mexican food.
"The ingredients that I use are more authentic in the way we cook and prepare everything because everything is fresh, not frozen," Cardenas said. "And we cook the same day."
Customers have visited Casa Azteca from local communities as well as area communities including Hutchinson, Topeka, El Dorado and Wichita.
"They just come check us out," he said. "They're impressed because they never thought they were going to find something like this in Tampa."
Although he doesn't have a degree in culinary arts, Cardenas has many years of experience in the food industry and looks every bit the chef, wearing a white coat and white hat while cooking at the restaurant.
When he was 14 years old, Cardenas first owned and operated a sandwich stand in a park in Mexico. After having a good experience selling sandwiches, he opened a taco shop.
Once Cardenas moved to the United States, he worked on the floor as a busboy and eventual manager for a Mexican restaurant in Westlake, Calif.
Eventually he moved to Las Vegas where he worked his way up to chef at a resort.
"I start working as a helper (at the resort) because I don't want to take a cook position," he said. "I always like to start from the bottom."
"I talked to the chef, and the chef knew that I know how to cook and he offered me the position of a cook, but I said no, I prefer to start from the bottom so I can learn all of the bases and work my way up."
Cardenas worked 41⁄2 years at the Las Vegas resort, working his way from helper to chef.
Five years ago Cardenas, wife Felicitas, and their five children moved to Marion after meeting a former Marion resident while Cardenas was working for a painting company based in Pittsburg, Penn.
"When I was working for this company, there was a girl working in the crew and she was from Marion," he said.
"(The girl) didn't have a place to stay. So, I said 'why don't you stay in my apartment until we come back in a couple weeks and maybe by then you'll have something.' She find a place and it was a time to move again for us.
"But before that, she said, 'Hector, why don't you go and take a look at the house that I have in Marion. If you like it, if your wife likes it, if your kids like it, you can have it, you can stay there and you don't pay rent at all.'"
"We came here, looked at the house and the kids liked the town. It's quiet and nice, so that's how we ended up in Marion," Cardenas said.
In addition to owning and operating Casa Azteca, Cardenas is employed as the head cook for residents at Marion Assisted Living.

Spurred by five goals from Ally Merten and clutch goaltending from Lexi Swisher, the Vikings advance to their second consecutive state championship game with a 13-11 victory over Lebanon in the state semifinals at Mentor High School Friday. Swisher had a number of clutch saves, tallying 14.
"Always a key to the game is Lexi Swisher at goal," Hoover High head coach Jeff McCann said. "She stopped a lot of shots for us."
Merten led Hoover in scoring with five goals, and Rachel Eastman followed with three, but it was Ally Jajack's heads-up play that broke Lebanon's furious comeback and sealed the victory. Lebanon had just scored two unanswered goals and cut a seemingly insurmountable five-goal deficit down to three with under seven to play.
After Lebanon goalie Siaah McMullen blocked a Hoover shot, it looked as if Lebanon would get the ball back. However, McMullen lost track of the ball as it rolled away from the goal toward Jajack. McMullen turned the wrong way, thinking the ball was right next to her, and left the net wide open for Jajack to sweep it in for the score.
Lebanon continued to fight back after Jajack's score, tacking on two more goals in the final four minutes. But the deficit proved to be too much. Brooke Cranmer led the Warriors with a game-high six goals.
Hoover makes its second consecutive appearance in the state finals, where they lost to Anderson 14-8. The Vikings return to the finals despite losing seven starters to graduation.
"The main thing is that they remember they deserve to be here," McCann said. "I don't want them to play timid or scared."
Hoover High girls lacrosse plays at 11 a.m. today at Hawken School.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The "not guilty" verdict in the George Zimmerman trial sparked rallies in support of Trayvon Martin across Nashville on Sunday.
"A lot of us feel that justice system has failed people of color in this country and we feel like if Trayvon would've been white, this wouldn't have happened," explained 28-year-old Lindsey Krinks as she was making a sign that read "What Killed Trayvon" on Sunday.
Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was cleared of all charges Saturday in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager whose killing unleashed furious debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
On the steps of the Tennessee State Capitol Sunday evening, the conversation among over 100 attendees was about the kinds of racial divides the case exposed.
"To anyone who says America is post racial we're holding up these kind of signs and we're out here saying we're not post racial, racism still exists," Krinks added.
Zimmerman, 29, blinked and barely smiled when the verdict was announced. He could have been convicted of second-degree murder or manslaughter, but the jury of six women, all but one of them white, reached a verdict of not guilty after deliberating well into the night Saturday.
"It doesn't matter if you're black or white, no one should be racially profiled because of the color of their skin or what they're wearing at the time of the moment," said Kendal Smith who attended the rally.
Organizers used social media to put the rally together with just a few hours notice.

Shingy Hits Denver. Karsh Hagan Idea Series Part I.
When you read about what CMO's want, or you talk to clients about what they want, or even just talk to your team around the office, you soon discover that we all want the same thing–ideas. And we all know by now that ideas don't appear automagically when requested. AdAge calls today's marketplace the Relationship Era while some are still stuck calling it the digital era. Eras aside, nothing has changed about the power of a truly great idea. To stoke and inspire some new ones (and get around the "I don't have enough time to think" lament) Karsh Hagan kicked off the Idea Series last Thursday 2.23.12 at the Denver Art Museum to underscore not only our commitment to ideas but the reality that you have to consciously curate time to feed the process of discovering them.
We invited a speaker named David Shing, AOL's Digital Prophet.
(Q) Can anyone live up to that job title?
(A) Prophet=Inspired teacher, proclaimer. And he was, but not an in-your-face-brash version. Instead he was more of a thoughtful here's-what-I've-seen-what-do-you-think-?-way. Wicked cool. His energy was kinetic and his interest in who we were and our clients was genuine. We heart Shingy and now count him as a friend of KH.
(A) We salute the image-pivot they're in the middle of and he did address it. Content is a good play these days and they're in the middle of it.
While everyone undoubtedly left with something different (there was more than enough topics covered) what I took away was a bit meta–but hey, that's my job. With massive fragmentation taking place and people's lives becoming more connected, yet disconnected, the ability to create brands and campaigns that have interconnected bridges built-in to enable seamless consumer experiences is the epitome of mission critical.
The misstep on that mission, however, tends to surface as an infatuation with likes and clicks and a singular idea or creative look blasted across media vehicles. Instead, the truth serum we have to take reveals that experiences aren't that simple and who cares whether they're "digital" or "traditional"? (I predict, sometimes plead, that we stop delineating something that most consumers don't anymore.)
They just have to work. They have to answer the consumer's question, provide the right utility, a smile, an opportunity, a way to be remembered in consumer's hectic, frenzied lives. It takes a diversified team (Agency and Client) committed to ideas and gutsy enough to say "yes" to the big ideas, the new experiences to succeed. Creating an experience is far more nuanced and layered than creating an ad. Great experiences along the path to purchase are like leaving tasty bread crumbs that can be found and shared when someone is ready to make a purchase and tell someone about it. It takes a commitment to great experiences + great media + data to make that happen, and oh yeah, it takes guts, intuition and trust in each other to pull it off.
So here's to nurturing, and fighting for, great ideas that are expressed in dynamic and powerful ways that make our jobs amazing, exciting and fulfilling.
Ideas Series Part II? TBA…
Post by: Rachael Donaldson, VP Account Strategy @MrktFrsh
It sounds like David Shing got his zany job title at http://socheyourself.com.
His songs really speak to me:
I'm sure that he had a lot of great insight
and this is why he's called the prophet
because he is your destiny:
such a great song, i was really touched
So good. Never stop fighting for good ideas or the thinking you know is right. Pray you work with folks who can handle standing up for what you believe in.
great share.
Finding a creative environment or influence is a big defining factor of idea productivity, the culture of those inwhich you surround yourself, and where your persona coincides well and not forced, hopefully. Culture of the ego network within other Internet platforms. As online realities and resources become more advanced and overall integrated into the widest reaching mainstream.
There is a comedic parallel between those with an inherent seamless media technology intelligence and those who it disorientes from the manual experience without tech, and the brains hopefully to be not zinged or oozing to accept and acknowledge the schism between the functioning difference:
I look forward to more livestreaming of these idea series and concepts in addition to writers reflections. The capacity of who it reaches for advancement in groups, institutions, and continual self advancement is unprecedented. Moving past some of the most basic both traveling or online conferences, to the more specific from different offices and clubs. It's as good as the highest education online. Hopefully more involved individuals and more intune connections.
Very encouraging and inspiring for more articulated nuances and interactive experience as a positive journey! Not just focusing on the huge mass connections and numbers? The picture of Shingy in the audience says it all! Can't wait for TDA.
I enjoyed your reflection of the conference as much as your last on small agency at The Brown Palace!
Every company, marketer and business person is looking for innovation and ideas. If they're not they're going to get stale and behind the competition. So glad to see K/H is staying in front of innovation with this series. Kudos for bringing in someone (from a different city even) to give a whole new perspective.
So if I am reading this correctly, this is an editorial about an internal training or speaker series at Karsh. Wow. Great. Really useful news guys. I heard that Crispin does some cool stuff too. But why not focus these editorials on things that the ego community can actually go to, like the Ad Club's speakers series. A story saying, hey check this thing that you can go do is way more useful than a hey, check out this thing that you didn't get to go to because it wasn't for you anyway.
Being such a young studed Internet aficionado, you know that the Internet is a larger source than that basic concept of physically going and doing and advertising yourself. This article is about being interactively intune with consumers and rising overcoming disconnectivity mostly by the rare to non user majority in the senior demographic to the misstargeting agency between concept utility and product when using media and 'social' media. It is a fresh market admist tired old agencies to try a new strategy and be very successful.
From the photo, looks like there was a hell of a lot of people there (one). Good job Karsh...way to keep the Denver Creative Community buzzing.

Bible translations differ on Gen 10:21. Some refer to Shem as the oldest of Noah's sons and some refer to Japheth as the elder. Why is there a discrepancy?
You will notice that the birth order of Noah's sons is given in 9:18: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now, in chapter 10, Moses traces the descendants of these sons in reverse order: Japheth (10:2ff.); Ham (10:6ff.); and Shem (10:21ff.). This reversal is noted by Harper's Commentary, and explained by Sailhamer.
Whatever its original intent, in its present context Genesis 10 continues the segmented genealogy of Noah (Gen. 5:32; 9:28-29). Untypically, it moves from Japheth, the youngest of Noah's sons (vv. 1-5), through Ham (vv. 6-20), to Shem (vv. 21-31), the oldest son. The movement from the youngest son with his descendants to the oldest focuses attention on the genealogical line of descent in which the narrator is interested. Mays, James Luther, Ph.D., Editor, Harper's Bible Commentary, (New York: Harper and Row, Publishers, Inc.) 1988.
John Sailhamer (The Pentateuch As Narrative -- Zondervan, 1992; pp. 136-137) has an insightful comment. The reversal is purposeful, and Sailhamer suggests why:
Here the author's aim is to show that God's promise concerning the seed of the woman cannot be thwarted by the confusion and scattering of the nations at Babylon. Though the seed of Noah were scattered at Babylon, God had preserved a line of ten great men from Noah to the chosen seed of Abraham. Out of the ruins of two great cities, the city of Cain and the city of Babylon, God has preserved his promised seed. By beginning the list of names over again with Shem, the author shows his intention to bypass the other line that had been traced to Shem in the previous chapter (10:26-30).
Your problem seems to be that verse 21 is translated differently, depending upon the translation.
KJV Genesis 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
ASV Genesis 10:21 And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
NIV Genesis 10:21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was {21 Or Shem, the older brother of} Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
NAS Genesis 10:21 And also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.
NRS Genesis 10:21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.
NLT Genesis 10:21 Sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth. <1> Shem was the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber.
NJB Genesis 10:21 Shem too fathered sons, being ancestor of all the sons of Eber and Japheth's elder brother.
The difficulty is that translators have understood the Hebrew text of Genesis 10:21 differently. Since we know from 9:18 that Shem is the oldest brother, the translation of the New American Standard (with a marginal note, giving the literal rendering) is most accurate. The New Living Translation is certainly the easiest and simplest to read.

I'm Front End Developer at Branding Brand. I have a passion for all things web with a strong focus on Front End Development and UX/UI Design. You can find me on Twitter, Github, and LinkedIn.
Requirements: Redesign and develop new landing pages for DICK'S Sporting Goods Grand Opening events. Create a way for project stakeholders to easily edit or make additions to the pages.
Process: I met with various groups within the company to prioritize event content for the new pages. I wireframed the page, and upon approval created a final design and did the front-end development. I then created a Ruby on Rails application for project stakeholders to use in order to quickly and easily make edits to the pages. You can see a demo of one of the pages here. Header & footer were provided by GSI Commerce. I am also happy to demo the CMS in person.
Requirements: The FedEx-Kinkos system that we were currently using to create high-res PDF files for in-store signage wasn't quite working the way we wanted it to. Build a better system.
Process: I was tasked with designing and creating the system. The goal was clear - our system had to match the design of the in-store sign exactly. The Kinkos form was skewing the alignment and text in the template we created, which was the main reason we needed an alternate solution. In the end, we had a system that could generate 27.8 x 19.7 inch PDF files at 100dpi. Other features included: Ability to email PDF from within app, user logins to separate PDF's by store location, and admin/basic user logins to separate functionality such as ability to create and edit store and user information.
Requirements: Create an application to be used by all groups within marketing to improve the current process of requesting, tracking, and managing digital media projects.
Process: I met with various groups in marketing to discuss the issues we faced in our current analog process for managing digital media projects. Once we mapped out our goals, I then turned the goals into wireframes and user stories to hand off to our vendor Carney+Co to develop the app. I worked closely with our vendor to test and bug track the application.
I started working with AJENT in August 2012 as a freelance project creating the visual design and UI of the website. Soon after I officially joined as a part-time venture with a stronger role in planning the website, front and back-end development, and working closely with our Founder to plan new features, create user stories, track/fix bugs, and QA test. I also design, develop, and send our weekly newsletters. Using AWS for asset storage and ActiveAdmin for our CMS. The current site is up but no longer maintained as we are currently developing an updated look. You can see a preview of the update here.

1. Don't Excel
If you excel at your job, you'll get noticed. Your co-workers will notice that you are doing well and start talking to the boss about it. They'll gang up on you to try and take you down. They'll look for some evidence which poses you in some negative light, and use it as an excuse to get rid of you. Any excuse works in this climate. So don't excel. Excellence makes you different, and "difference" is a negative. Don't be different.
2. Don't Do Poorly
Don't let yourself slack off in any way either. They will use any excuse in a change in your job habits in order to red circle your position. Don't give them any kind of excuse. However, make sure that you also always follow rule one: don't do any more or less that what is expected of you, if you do you'll stick out, and that's the last thing you need right now. Keep on steaming at that exact same clip; don't vary your speed in any way.
3. Don't Complain
This is a sure job buster. Management is strung tight: stress is at an all time high. Money is barely trickling in, if at all. Now is not the time to complain. Bottle it all up, and never say a SINGLE word to anyone at work, or anyone who knows anyone at work, no matter how unfair or wrong things are. Management doesn't want to hear problems OR solutions. They'd like to hear NOTHING. Nothing is king. Silence is queen. They do like to hear keys busily tapping though.
WARNING: Don't be fooled by an "open door policy" or your boss asking you "How Are Things?" or "What's wrong". Always respond to the former with "Fantastic" and never, never respond to the latter with anything other than "Nothing! Everything's just great". In fact, don't ever give him the reason to say "What's wrong": see point 7
4. Use the mantra "I'm just happy to have a job"
Every day, when you get up, in the shower, while you're shaving, on your way to work, just repeat, again and again. "I'm just happy to have a job, I'm just happy to be working". When your boss cuts your salary, just say "That's OK, I'm just happy to be working". When your boss gives that hot sales lead to another sales rep, just say to yourself "It's OK, because I still have a job". When your boss ask you to work the weekend, just say "No problem", and think to yourself. "I'm just happy to have a job." When your boss goes to Hawaii but you have to stay behind and work, remember the mantra.
5. Take a salary cut gracefully when offered
If your boss cuts your salary in order to keep the company afloat (or for his new minivan purchase) just smile and say "I know that its all for the good of the company, that's fine, we'll just get by with less". Even better, offer to take a salary cut, if you know that the company is in trouble.

Vikki Vargas, Lori Bentley
An Orange County woman has been booked for attempted murder, after allegedly trying to run over a sheriff's deputy at the John Wayne Airport parking structure. Sheriff's officials said drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash. Vikki Vargas reports from John Wayne Airport the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on July 17, 2013.
A sheriff's officer was released from the hospital Wednesday after a female driver slammed into him while he was riding his bicycle on patrol at John Wayne Airport, officials said.
Rebecca McLaughlin, 48, allegedly aimed her car at the officer and accelerated, officials said. She slammed into him, knocking him onto the hood of her vehicle.
After being hit, the officer reached inside the McLaughlin's car and wrestled her out of the driver's seat.
"I have one in custody. I was sped up by a vehicle in the parking structure," the officer told dispatch after the incident.
The officer was investigating a noise Tuesday he thought sounded like a collision on the second floor of the airport's parking structure, said Jeff Hallock, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
A witness told the officer McLaughlin's black Toyota Sequoia may have been involved, Hallock said.
McLaughlin was booked for attempted murder, Hallock said.
The officer suffered minor injuries and was released from the hospital, Hallock said.

Part 3: the 1959 National Championship Drag Races
Among the 80,000 who attended the 1959 Nationals were hundreds of representatives from the various automobile manufacturers, including Chevrolet's Ed Cole and Chrysler's Tex Colbert.
"Never before had so much high-level attention been focused on the drags," wrote NHRA President Wally Parks, who still was serving as editor of Hot Rod Magazine. "Top leaders in the auto industry stood shaking their heads, some stating, 'I'd never have believed it if I hadn't seen it!' Not only impressed by types and performance of the vehicles, and the obvious investment in time and money, they were even more amazed at the hardworking, dedicated enthusiasm of the contestants.
"The panoramic scope of variations in powerplants, drivetrains, suspension systems, tires, chassis design, body types, and, above all, advanced modifications for increasing engine efficiency, showed the degree of full-time experimentation today's hot rod sport represents."
Also impressive was, despite the thousands of high-speed runs, there was not a single incident, further cementing NHRA's reputation of "Dedicated to Safety."
Typical of the interaction was sneak peek afforded the hot rodders of a not-yet-in-production engine, which was met with great interest by the hot rodders. "The multitude of questions asked by the rodders readily convinced them that these were no mere neophytes regarding engineering know-how and alertness," Parks observed.
Also of great import to the manufacturers was the three-way shootout for Top Eliminator that emerged between cars powered by Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors engines. Champions crowned in the 34 classes came from 16 states, and records were set in 23 of the 27 classes eligible for records, with cars powered by engines from Chevrolet, Chrysler, DeSoto, Ford, Studebaker, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac among those garnering glory in front of Detroit's automakers. Superchargers became the "in thing" at the 1959 Nationals, as various models appeared on a large number of cars in competition, their teams willing to accept the one-class-up bump required by the rules, i.e., a blown C-legal Dragster would have to compete against unblown dragsters in the B class.
Harold Ramsey of Wilmington, Del., won the DuPont Zerex Stock trophy with his '57 Chevy while Dayton, Ohio's George Montgomery won the Smitty's Muffler Company Little Eliminator trophy with his supercharged-Cadillac-powered A/Gas '33 Willys Coupe, the innocent-appearing baby-blue entry turning back the challenge of Columbus' Edward Coughlin (grandfather of 2000 NHRA Winston Pro Stock champ Jeg Coughlin Jr.) and his supercharged D/Gas '55 Chevy.
The new Coca-Cola Middle Eliminator trophy went Otis Smith's Akron, Ohio-based blown Chrysler-powered T-bucket, which also set the national record at 145.39 after an earlier 148-mph blast. Smith turned back Chicago's Gabby Bleeker and his unblown Olds-powered Bantam in the final.
Houston's Rodney Singer and crew chief Karol Miller used a single blown Lincoln engine to turn a 9.70 and defeat perennial heavy hitter Jack Moss' dual blown Chevy-powered Moss' Automotive entry for AA/Dragster honors while Jack Chrisman took the A/Dragster class with his Joe Malliard-tuned, Chrysler-powered, chain-driven "Sidewinder II" entry over the Don Hampton-driven Chrysler-powered "Miss-Fire III" of Kenny Lindley with a 9.68. The Lindley entry previously was judged the meet's winner of the Motor Trend Best Engineered award.
Finally, after a series of preliminary runs for Top Eliminator, the field was narrowed a trio of entrants for the National Championship: Singer, Chrisman, and Jiggs Shamblin, the latter having emerged from the A Competition Coupe ranks with his Hollish Brothers/"Miscalculation" Bantam-bodied blown Olds entry out of Akron, Ohio.
After dark forced a Monday completion, Singer paired off first against Chrisman and took the victory, 9.77, 149.00 to Chrisman's close 9.86, 149.50 for the right to face Shamblin for the National Championship. After starter Leo Errara threw the flag, the title went to Singer's 480-cubic-inch GMC-supercharged machine in a walk, with a 9.76, 152.00-mph run when Shamblin's mount shattered the clutch. Singer became the Nationals' first supercharged winner, a string unbroken in the interceding 41 years.
The Nelson-Martin-Nelson Dragmaster -- the chassis of which was the model for one of the first commercially available do-it-yourself kits -- proved its own best advertisement after it winning the Motor Life Low Elapsed Time Trophy for a run of at 9.12 seconds and the Safety Engineer's Trophy for the meet's "Safest Constructed Car." Art Arfons set top speed of the meet with the Allison-powered "Green Monster II", a whopping 172.08 mph on gasoline and an official record of 170.45. Arfons also gathered attention for what he did past the finish line, using a parachute to aid deceleration.
The NHRA also staged the National Champion Custom Car Show, which attracted a large turnout of display cars from across the nation. For two nights, some of the nation's best hot rods were on display at the Detroit Artillery Armory. Car Craft Editor Dick Day and soon-to-be-named National DRAGSTER Editor Dick Wells helped coordinate the successful affair.

Money has recognized something that Lakeville residents might already know: The city is a great place to live.
Lakeville is ranked 19th in the magazine's annual Best Places to Live list, which ranks the best small cities in the United States.
It's one of five Minnesota cities making the top 25 list, joining Eden Prairie, which is third on the list; Woodbury, 11th; Eagan, 14th; and Maple Grove, 22nd.
The list is in the magazine's September issue. It was posted on the CNNMoney.com website Monday morning.
Here is what Money says about Lakeville:
"Kids have it good in Lakeville, a city just 26 miles from Minneapolis. All 14 of Lakeville's public schools beat the state averages; summertime brings swimming, boating, and fishing at Marion and Orchard lakes as well as hiking along the Genesee Valley Greenway. Lakeville's downtown is small but there are several shopping and restaurant destinations within driving distance, like the Burnsville Center shopping mall, just five miles north of the city."
Carmel, IN is at the top of this year's top small cities list and is followed in the top five by McKinney, TX; Eden Prairie; Newton, MA; and Redmond, WA.

While we're basking in Olympic spirit, let's pay tribute to our local Olympians.
Let's start by taking inventory.
How many Olympians have we had from Marin County through the years? We can consider those who were born here, those who grew up here or those who lived here late in life. Shoot, anybody who had a cup of coffee here could be claimed as a local, right?
We've had some ace swimmers (Ann Curtis Cuneo, Rick DeMont), some stellar sailors (Paul Cayard, John Kostecki), a sprinter (Archie Williams) and a freestyle skier (Jonny Moseley). Of those, DeMont and Moseley were the most homegrown.
That just a list to get us started. Who are we missing? What are your favorite memories of watching our locals at the Games? Share your comments below.

How do they fit?
Straight-legged. Broken Tooth Britches run a bit big, so if you are between sizes, choose the size down.
What if my inseam is 30″ or 34″?
We're a small business, so we offer only a couple of lengths right now. Fortunately, any tailor can hem these pants to a great fit.
How do I care for them?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

Best Maine Lobster Roll?
I'm not a fanatic of lobster rolls. I honestly don't get all the hype. I like my lobster steamed and I crack it, take it out of the shell and eat the damned thing. Be that as it may, I was hungry and saw this food truck on top of a grassy hill at Fort Williams Park (Portland Head Lighthouse) in Cape Elizabeth. The truck, called "Bite Into Maine," specializes in lobster rolls. Not bad at $13. Served on a grilled, buttered hot dog roll, they have 6 flavors: Maine (w/mayo) Connecticut (with butter), curry, chipotle, wasabi and picnic which involves coleslaw. A nice couple run the place.
Is it the best? Who knows? But I can say it was tasty, fresh and I would definitely recommend it.
Interesting perspective that I pretty much have to agree with for the most part. Really, how hard is it to make a good lobster roll? Cook a lobster - don't over or under cook it. Toast a bun of some sort, traditionally a hot dog style. A little mayo (not too much/little) or butter and you have a lobster roll. Make sure it's a good amount of fresh lobster, mix of tail and claw meat and you really can't go wrong. That's why I tend to send people where you have something else, like a view, to go along with the lobster roll. I'm probably like most Mainer's in that I actually pay for a lobster roll maybe once every 4-5 years. Lobster rolls for me are usually made with lobsters that are left over after a lobster bake (always cook more than you're going to eat). The cost probably averages about $5 per. It's hard for me to drop $15 on even the "best" lobster roll.
I think the appeal of a lobster roll is mostly sheer laziness - I get to eat a lot of lobster all at once, without having to deal with the whole cracking/bib/getting lobster juice everywhere business. It's also a way to eat lobster on the go or in a takeout setting, without having to make a big sit-down dinner out of it. I don't think you can really compare eating a whole lobster with a roll.
As far as locals not eating lobster rolls, I think it's because they're expensive and therefore not an everyday food. Visitors from away are usually on vacation, and therefore willing to splurge a bit on things like lobster rolls that they can't eat every day. My parents live in Maine (I moved away years ago) and we always get lobster rolls when I'm there - they love them, it's just that they only splurge on them for special occasions like when out-of-town visitors come in.
re: monopod
I agree with you 100%.
I am a "lazy" lobster eater and the rolls are easy and lobster without all the mess and work(LOL).
We live in Upstate N.Y(I mean up near the Canadian border).and we bring our local bologna(which the locals here avoid) up to Maine each year.
I exchange the bologna(which Maine locals I know just love)for their lobster meat(which most of them don't eat).
Go Figure!!!
There is an old saying;"Familiarity breeds contempt" and I guess that applies to food also.
Tourists here cannot get enough of our local bologna;I can't stand it.
My Maine friends think the bologna is outstanding and they are willing to trade lobster for this bologna.
Again,go figure!!!(LOL).
Had the sheer pleasure to bite into a Bite Into Maine classic lobster roll today. Hands down the freshest, tastiest lobster roll around. Overflowing with lobster in a perfectly toasted buttered roll. And the view is pretty nice, too.
re: watertowngourmet
Hands down the best? Really? Can you tell us about a few of the others that you've had recently that paled in comparison to this one? Good fresh lobster in a buttered New England hot dog roll is pretty hard to beat, but pretty hard to mess up, too. Just curious as to why this one is so much better than most?
re: jackattack
I've had them at Fisherman's Catch, Cape Porpoise Chowder, Lobster Shack in Perkins Cove and a bunch of places in Boston/Cambridge area. Good, fresh lobster cooked well is what makes this stand out, as does the light hand with the dressing. I find too often that the lobster is slightly overcooked, or overdressed, or there's extra stuff put in. Or there's hardly any of it. The freshness and lightness and abundance were outstanding, IMHO. I could have eaten another one easily.
re: jackattack
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I went on a lobster roll bike ride, splitting 3 rolls from different places - the Bite Into Maine food truck, the Lobster Shack at Two Lights and Bailey's Lobster Pound at Pine Point in Scarborough. Bite into Maine at Fort Williams (Portland Head Light) was a slam dunk winner in price, amount of lobster and taste - we had the curry lobster roll vs the plain at the other two. The other two were still good but not as much lobster at higher prices.
Maybe it was the curry that made the difference as we could easily make the other two at home which is how we usually roll with our lobster rolls.

re: bobbert
re: irwin
""""""Five Island Lobster has a lobster roll whopper for $26.95.
Huge, no fillers, and truly excellent on a extended hot dog roll.""""
had the standard size roll from 5 islands because I thought the $27 was a tourist scam. I thought the roll at Plant's in Bath was light years better, and at ony $9.99 to boot. Their cole slaw is incredible too....a feature I consider a mark of a great seafood joint.
However, anyone who has not seen the view at 5 islands, go for that reason alone
re: crawfish
The "classic" rolls at Fishermen's Grill are around $15 and contain a huge amount of lobster meat. They also offer a "colossal" roll for around $23 but I still have not found anyone who will admit to ordering one.
If FG were on the coast instead of in a funky part of Forest Ave, it would be as famous as Red's.
re: crawfish
Red's rolls are about twice as big as a lot of other rolls you'll get, so to me they can justify their higher price. Lobster Shack is, in my opinion, a ripoff; a mediocre medium/small roll for $16 (but their view does make up for some of it, as long as it's a nice day and you sit outside).

Both AMD and Intel publish detailed information on the operating temperature ranges of their processors. Both companies refer to case temperature, which typically is measured in the middle of the processor heat spreader. As you can see in the tables below, an Athlon 64 X2 processor is designed to work at up to 78°C, while the Core 2 Duo may be operated at as much as 72°C. You will notice that the maximum case temperature (tcase) depends on the actual thermal design point that a processor is specified for: a TDP 35 W Athlon 64 X2 processor may reach a maximum of 78°C, while a 125 W TDP Athlon 64 FX must not exceed 63°C.
As a processor moves out of its thermal design range, there are countermeasures that can be activated either by the motherboard or the CPU itself. Typical platform action involves switching to maximum fan speeds while the processors fall back to their protective mechanisms.

Allena, I enjoyed your article on How to Be a Paid Book Reviewer. But I'm still confused about one aspect: where do the books come from? How do you get them? Since the books are new, I wonder how a person is privy to getting them in hand before they're actually published? Also, I know that publications only want new books reviewed. But how do reviewers find out the new titles that are coming up?
Great question! Paid book reviewers get their books from a variety of places. First, let's recap what an Advanced Readers Copy is. It's a copy of the book that the publisher hands out specifically for reviewing purposes. It's close to its final form, but may not be perfect. It may have small proofreading errors, a plain cover without any cover art, or it may even be a bound paper copy of the text.
But, that's not to say that ARCs are the only review copies that float around. I've reviewed plenty of published books within their first month or two of life- and have therefore had a final copy of the book.
So, where does the reader get the book? They may be responsible for procuring it themselves, or they may be sent a copy from the publication that they're writing for (who likely got it directly from the publisher). A last source for writers is direct from the publisher themselves. Some experienced reviewers may have developed good contacts with publicists, who will float them new books based on their interests or the kind of magazines/websites that they write for.
How do you know who's responsible for getting the book? The easiest route is to simply ask (or listen to) your editor, who will likely answer such questions right up front in the negotiating process that goes on when you're assigned a piece. However, as a general rule, consider the book your responsibility if you've pitched the story. But, expect the editor to send the book along to you if you're assigned the book as part of the magazine's or newspaper's regular set of writers.
You are right in saying that most reviews are of fresh, new titles. You can find information on upcoming releases from the About.com Guide to Bestsellers, or via Amazon's New Releases page. In addition, social sites like Goodreads and Shelfari are also a great place to find out about upcoming releases.

The fast and furious became the solemn and reverential Sunday as hundreds of fans and mourners met in Valencia to pay tribute to the memory of actor Paul Walker and Roger Rodas, killed Nov. 30 in a car crash.
Under cold but clear skies, a line of muscle cars and motorcycles made a slow procession through the industrial park where the accident took place. Messages honoring Walker were spray-painted on their windows. One car had a funeral wreath.
Billed as a memorial rally and car cruise, the gathering gave fans an opportunity to remember Walker, 40, whose fame as an undercover detective in the "Fast & Furious" film franchise made him beloved to millions, and celebrate the high-octane culture of tuner cars.
Overhead, two small planes flew by, trailed by banners reading, "R.I.P. God be with Fast and Furious star Paul Walker" and "Our Hearts go out to his Family and Friends."
With engines revving and echoing between warehouses, enthusiasts crowded around parked vehicles featured in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, hoods propped open for inspection. There was the blue Nissan Skyline driven by Walker in "Fast Four." There was the yellow Mazda RX7 from "Tokyo Drift."
Some came alone, and some came in caravans. Jenna Catic, 24, led a pack of 15 cars from Phoenix. For Catic, Walker was more than just an actor.
"He was part of our lifestyle," she said.
Snow and ice weren't about to stop Chris Harrel, 20, and Conner Eddy, 16, who made the 20-hour drive from the Seattle area. Their ride was in a 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII, similar to the car Walker drove in "2 Fast 2 Furious." Friends said they were crazy for making the trip, but they saw it as their only opportunity to pay their respects to an actor they looked up to.
"All the guys out here wanted to be like him," Harrel said.
Some milled around the crash site; some climbed a ladder to add their names to a large memorial canvas, stretched over the side of a big-rig trailer and featuring pictures of Walker and Rodas.
"Unfortunately, we're here for a tragic reason, but it's an opportunity" for car enthusiasts to show off their vehicles, said Davin Smith, 31, who was joined by his girlfriend, Yoli Perez, 21.
Racing enthusiasts Anthony and Robert Benavides joined nearly 100 other drivers from Oxnard. Even as the brothers wore sweatshirts that honored Walker and Rodas ("If one day the speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling," it said on the back of the shirts), they also acknowledged the dangers of what some call "the drifting life."
"This is a reality check to everyone here," said Anthony, 22. "My mom told me every day since I was a kid, 'What you're building is a weapon.'"
Walker's death has been compared to that of James Dean, who was also killed in a car accident at the height of his popularity. Walker is credited with kindling a love of automobiles and racing among his fans.
"We share the same passion as he did," said Zach Willason, 20, who drove his Hyundai Genesis coupe from UC Santa Barbara.
The occasion gave Juan Coscarart, 31, the opportunity to show off his replica of the 1994 Toyota Supra that was featured in the franchise's first film. Coscarart, a contractor for Southern California Edison, spent four years — and more than 1,000 hours — working on the car, which he says is identical to the original, down to the decals.
Stepping to the memorial canvas, Coscarart added his own homage to Walker. "I built my Supra because of you," he wrote.
At the time of his death, Walker had been attending a toy drive and a benefit sponsored by his philanthropic organization, Reach Out Worldwide, to aid victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The event was held at the racing shop Always Evolving Performance Motors, where Rodas was chief executive.
Afterward, Walker and Rodas went for a drive. About 3:30 p.m., the $400,000 car with a 600-horsepower engine, driven by Rodas, 38, slammed into a concrete light pole and a tree and burst into flames.
Walker and Rodas were declared dead at the scene.

I've read several HTML references, online and off, and all seem to make some mention of the dichotomy of style and content, presentation and structure, appearance and substance. The good designer is admonished to keep them separate in order to ward off various woes: unmanageability, unusability, professional shame.

The dawn of the web has frequently been compared to the invention of the printing press. But the web has also destroyed one of the greatest features of nearly every press since Gutenberg: the ability to publish pleasing type.
The printing press gave us type that was clearer and easier to read than that produced from a typewriter, because the typesetter had additional tools at his disposal - and knew how to use them. The web has cost us some of those tools.
Lack of tools and knowledge
There are two problems here. The first is that until HTML 4 came along, the web was missing almost all of these tools (it's still missing many important ones).

As I mentioned yesterday, I recently managed to hack the Movable Type search module in order to provide Last-Modified dates on my search results. This is useful, as it may help save in bandwidth costs. Instead of having a Last-Modified date of whenever the search was run, the Last-Modified date will be from the last modification of the search results.
If you want to see what I mean, use Web-Sniffer to pull up one of your search result pages. Chances are that you will not see a Last-Modified date on it (look in the HTTP Response Header section of your results). If there is one, it's likely the time you ran the request.

I'm currently subscribed to www-style, the W3C's mailing list for CSS development. CSS-3 is being developed this very moment by engineers and programmers. Why aren't a few designers involved in building a language meant for style? I honestly don't know. Maybe none of us were ever asked. Maybe none of us ever volunteered.

The history of science is crowded with stories about competitive researchers sprinting for new discoveries. First place gets patents, research money, and sometimes a Nobel. Second place gets a snarky note in the sidebar of junior-high science textbooks. While competition can foster innovation, scientific progress is retarded when researchers delay the publication of groundbreaking cancer research data in order to secure the most advantageous patents, or when research teams refuse to share information for fear of a licensing double-cross.

"Isn't it inefficient to have to type all those tags for every club? What good is this? It looks nice, but what can I do with this document? How can I put this in a web page or use it with other programs? Wouldn't it be easier to just use HTML or a database/word processor/fill-in-the-blank?"

People who had never left Britain have been known to develop malaria. Several cases have been described in medical literature.
These people all lived near international airports, and it is believed that mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites had been carried from Africa on aircraft, flown off on arrival and bitten their British victims.What relevance has this for divers? Observations of marine biologists provide a clue. They are noticing species of animals and plants in parts of the world where they would not normally expect to find them.The arrival of these foreign invaders is not always due to the natural drift of populations as a result of climate changes or from ocean currents. Species appear to be picked up from one part of the world and deposited in another. Species of starfish suddenly turning up on reefs thousands of miles from their natural environment provide an example.As usual the culprit is man. We are transporting the invaders in our ships. It is not just a few species hanging on to the hulls, but larger numbers carried inside. When a cargo ship travels without a cargo, it needs to take on ballast. Some vessels find it convenient to use seawater for this purpose, and it is pumped out at the destination to make room for the cargo to be loaded.Along with that water, all the plankton from the original port will be unloaded. Plankton contains immature forms of animals and plants, and these might colonise the new area.Other things can be transported in this way, including organisms that can cause illness if swallowed by swimmers and divers, or that might sting and envenomate people in the water. These illnesses could go undiagnosed, because the organism is not expected to be present in that part of the world.Next time your buddy tells you that he saw a box jellyfish in Swanage Harbour, he might just be right!

Making Marmalade-Do I need to can if I plan to eat right away?
Hi, Chowhounders! My CSA box has blessed me with more tomatoes than any sane and reasonable person could eat so I am trying my hand at making a tomato marmalade. I plan on bringing it to a barbecue tomorrow and serving it with prosciutto and cheese. Do I need to go through the canning process if i am planning on serving it right away? I don't have any canning equipment and none of the stores near me carry and (I checked) Is canning even necessary if I plan on serving within 24 hours?
Thank you!
Thanks so much all for the advice! I won't worry about canning then. In case anyone is interested:
Tomato Marmalade
5 lbs tomatoes
3 cups sugar
2 oz fresh ginger grated
one cinnamon stick
2 lemons
Blanche tomatoes; peel, core and seed
In large pot, combine all ingredients (squeeze lemon then add juice and peel) and simmer 1- 1 1/2 hour
Discard lemon peels and cinnamon stick and bring mixture to boil until liquid is reduced
Ladle into jars and let cool
