Slow Cooker Carrot Pudding is one of the more unique slow cooker vegetable recipes you can serve to your family and guests for the holidays, or just when you're looking for a tasty side. This recipe makes 10 servings, so it can feed a crowd.
Serves: 10
Cooking Time: 5 hr
- 4 cups carrots, grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
Use a 4-quart slow cooker. If you've only got a big guy, that's okay, but your pudding will cook faster--check it after 2 hours.
Grate the carrots and onion. Add the grated veggies to your slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream, egg, salt, nutmeg, and sugar. Pour this mixture into your slow cooker, and stir well.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for about 2 to 3.
Your pudding is done when the carrots are tender.
Using a hand-held stick blender (carefully) pulse a few times to create a pudding-like consistency. You can also (carefully) transfer the carrot concoction to a traditional blender to pulse a bit. The consistency should become velvety and smooth, but not smooth like baby food.
- Recommended: Serve with meat and potatoes for a rich and satisfying meal.

Eric was an awesome great. Very easy to communicate with and let the unit in great shape. I would host him again anytime.
Eric and his wife were wonderful guests. They were easy to communicate with and they left my place spotless. I would welcome them back to my place anytime and I would recommend them to other guests.
Very nice and friendly. Cleaned up the apt afterwards and all in all a very nice guest indeed;)
Eric stayed with me for a work trip, and while he was a great guest the majority of the time, I believe he had certain expectations that would have been better served by a hotel.
1. Absolute silence after 9pm, even on weekends - Eric is a very light sleeper and was awoken by some of my guests on a weekend night. He had a less than elegant approach to letting us know he was disturbed.
2. Someone to clean up after him - Eric was not overly messy, but in my prior experiences airbnb guests have gone out of their way to keep my home clean, and at the very least followed the house rules I specified. Eric just needed some reminding now and then, and he left things in a less than desirable (but not awful) state at the end of his stay.
Outside of these areas Eric was truly fantastic - I enjoyed getting to know him. I would welcome him back because I understand his expectations, and we've discussed areas in which his cleanliness could improve.
Perhaps these issues arose because Eric was working for every day of his 2 week stay, which can be stressful. I would recommend Eric to future hosts, with the caveat that they fully discuss expectations prior to accepting a reservation. If Eric had informed me of these requirements, I think his stay would have been much smoother.
Wonderful guest. Would love to have him stay with us again.
I have only compliments for Eric and his wife who are great guests.
I highly recommand them!
Eric and Samantha were only with us for a couple of nights but they were very good guests that we would be happy to host again.

Senior Chelsea O'Connor had six RBI in two wins Friday, including her third grand slam of the season.
March 14, 2014
CSU-Cal Poly Box Score | CSU-Pacific Box Score
FRESNO, Calif. – The Colorado State softball program earned a pair of victories Friday, improving its overall record to 12-5. The Rams began the day with a 6-2 victory over Cal Poly, and carried the momentum to the afternoon game, sailing over Pacific, 10-2. The wins come during Day 1 of the Fresno State Classic.
"It was a good day," Head Coach Jen Fisher said. "It was good to get the bats going. I thought we played well and spread our offense out to put pressure on their defense. We ran the bases well, and I thought it was a solid performance all the way around.
Colorado State 6, Cal Poly 2
The Rams took an early lead in the first, as Chelsea O'Connor doubled home Shae Rodriguez, who also doubled. Cal Poly would tie score at 1-1 in the third, but in the top of the fourth, CSU broke the tie with three runs.
Alysa Greckel drove in the Rams' second run via a sacrifice fly, and Kendal Butterfield singled to center, bringing in Ashlie Ortega. Leading 3-1, Haley Hutton tacked one more on with an infield single.
Two more runs would be added in the top of the sixth with Hutton plating a runner after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and O'Connor hitting a sacrifice fly.
Holly Reinke (6-1) earned the win, striking out three and holding the Mustangs hitless through the first two innings. Butterfield went 3-for-3, and Hutton and O'Connor each drove in a pair.
"Holly looked solid," Fisher said. "She actually had some good defensive plays, too. She kept every leadoff batter out except in one inning. She was shutting them down early, and not letting them get anything going."
Colorado State 10, Pacific 2
The Rams immediately returned to the field, facing Pacific in their second game.
Scoreless through two, CSU's offense exploded in the third inning with seven runs. Following a double and pair of walks, O'Connor blasted a grand slam – her third of the season. The offense continued, however, with Jaelyn Manzanares scoring Danielle Wikre with a double to right-center. Two batters later, Greckel hit a two RBI triple.
"It's almost like Chelsea gets up, and the bases are loaded for her," Fisher said. "We were shaking our heads in a good way. She swings hard and isn't afraid to be aggressive, but swings the same whether the bases are loaded or not."
Pacific got on the board with one run in the fourth before CSU earned the run back with Wikre tripling and scoring on a Manzanares single. The Rams scored two more with Taylor Hutton and Chelsea Biglow scoring on a seventh-inning throwing error.
In the circle, Larisa Petakoff (4-3) earned her third straight win, allowing six hits while striking out two.
"Larisa looked good, too." Fisher said. "It was a great day for our pitching staff. It's been great to see, because Larisa is just a freshman. She gives 110 percent every time she steps out there."
The Rams will continue play Saturday, facing Saint Mary's (2:30 p.m. MT) and New Mexico State (7 p.m.). Both games can be streamed for free through the Mountain West Network.

"Writhes in the Murk signifies the next phase in the existence of Aevangelist's approach to experimental and extreme dark music.
"Falling somewhere within, but never fully defined by, the current boundaries of death metal, black metal, dark ambient, industrial, power violence, & black Noise with a heavy influence from choral music, jazz textures, and new age sensibilities.

Like in a terrifying exorcism, the duo has extracted the very essence of the genre out of its carcass, showing it in all its putridity and disgust through the asphyxiating sounds and the growling choirs of De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis, originally released on CD by I, Voidhanger Records in 2012 and now seeing a vinyl release through Blood Harvest."

Almost cooked some worms.
hummersteveJune 22, 2014
When I did a harvest the other day in separating the worms of which Im guessing maybe 200 worms give or take a thousand. I forgot and left them in my garage overnight gets pretty hot out there lately 90+ so the next day when I remember I forgot, Im thinking oh boy this is really gonna stink. Surprisingly they all seemed alive, hard to believe. But I didnt have a cover on it so they did get some air even if very hot air.
90 won't kill them, but if they lived in those temps, the rates of food intake, reproduction, and excrement output would be WAY less than when they're feeling good.
Only time I killed some was when a small bin was left if a closed up car all day. I coulda fried bacon almost on the dash.

I was thinking of Tokyo Mew Mew also, I never got to finish that anime, but I remember the Opening theme song (My Sweet Heart), it's stuck in my head for some odd reason o.O
How about Tokyo Mew Mew? ^_^ Its a cute enough anime, with lots of magical transformations and stuff, and it appeals to my own 5 yr old cousin... of course, it contains fighting (in the magical sense), so if you're really strict on that note... And yep, Pita Ten's nice too. ^_^~~
I was thinking of Tokyo Mew Mew also, I never got to finish that anime, but I remember the Opening theme song (My Sweet Heart), it's stuck in my head for some odd reason o.O
I would have to say azumanga daioh. ITs funny stuff.
Hers something intreasting how about we skip the kiddy stuff and move on toe titles like
Vimpire hinter D
FLCL (just loved that one)
Inu Yasha
Big O
I would say Love Hina but thats not really for kids
All are good animes some more graphic then others but hey when I was a kid I like the "big kid" cartoons and I saw my first hentai at age 9 and I've turnd out ok btw hentais not really ass good as an anime like Chobits
Tom: Maybe we are a supreme being who was having self identity problems.
Luis: Find yourself a women who loves video games as much as you do and you'll have have problems.
I know how you feel... It got to me too. *laughs* Even the little kiddies at my house can all sing it. XD The singer had a really nice voice. Or rather, she really suited that song.Originally Posted by ex-paranoia
You know, I was reading a recommendation list of anime for children (I can't remember the name of the site at the moment), and I saw that Grave of the Fireflies was recommended for 3+.Originally Posted by ex-paranoia
Not a typo. 3+. Not 13+. Now, I have a 3 yr. old kid; there is no way in hell that I am showing him this movie -- I just can't believe that he, or any 3 yr. old., is ready for seeing someone's mother die from burns from an incendiary bombing raid and a child die from malnutrition.
I'd go with this for Miyazaki stuff:
- Kiki's Delivery Service (my kid loves this)
- Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro)
- Laputa (Castle in the Sky)
The other films ex-paranoia listed, while all good, are probably too mature; Laputa is a bit violent -- I have no problem showing it to my kid, but whether it's appropriate for yours is your call. Porco Rosso is coming out in February; from what I have seen about it it may be appropriate for young children, but I haven't seen it yet, so I am not going to recommend for or against it.
Miyazaki also did one in the early '70s called Panda go Panda, which is about a panda and his son who go to live with a girl. Total silliness, and perfect for a kid. Geneon just rereleased this on DVD.
You might also be able to get away with showing the first Haibane Renmei DVD (first four episodes). After that, it becomes an intense angst fest, which I like, but my child is certainly not mature enough to see yet.
Your ad here.
Hey Rodion, if all of these are still not okay for your kid, just make her go study some mathematics or literature
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
Hmm.... some of the above mentioned titles are kinda on the edge for a four year old... but most of them (Gibli titles) are good, but a real kiddy anime has to be Ocha Ken, a while ago it was being fansubbed by Mognet and that's an anime for little children... It's 26 eps in total and each ep is about 5 minutes... It's about tea dogs and their every day thing... maybe something that appeals to your little one?

Cool Reception for Global Warming
Posted: 12/15/2008 - Do Scientists Support Global Warming? First, most scientists do not agree with the CO2 global warming premise! Many scientists, including the author, see global warming from CO2 as a cruel global swindle, so that a few, at the expense of the many, can reap huge profits from carbon taxes.

STP's BLOG 05/02/13 "Mayor Of Tenino Resigns!"
by STP
posted May 2 2013 7:16AM
Yesterday some serious crap went down! May Day May Day! The big protests happened in the streets of Seattle yesterday; everything was peaceful, until the dummy "anarchists" with their bandana on their faces tried to wreak havoc. The highlight of the stupidity was that people were doused with silly string. Yes, silly string. A TV news reporter was hit with the silly string, but most importantly Phoenix Jones the Seattle super heroes were hit as well. Things have gone too far when Super Heroes are getting hit with silly string!
The other big story was that our bud, Eric Strawn, the Mayor of Tenino, has decided to step down as mayor. Mayorjuana is saying goodbye! He tweeted to tell us this, and then I saw it on Q13's website, I got a kick out of the fact that Q13 used a pic from a You Tube video of Eric in our studios for their picture:
I tweeted Mayorjuana to see if all was good, and here was the thread….
A man is accused of pretending to be a member of the band Pink Floyd at a Minnesota hospital — and racking up as much as $100,000 in unpaid medical bills. Police say the 53-year-old man went in for treatment on April 20th. He claimed he was Pink Floyd singer-guitarist David Gilmour and that he didn't have health insurance. He was treated and released, but not before signing an autograph. Hospital security was suspicious about the man's identity and his medical records were flagged. The man returned for more treatment several days later and, confronted by police, admitted he wasn't Gilmour. The man was booked into jaIl on a possible charge of theft by swindle.
Based on this… When did you or someone you know pretend to be someone you are not? Here are the texts we received:
I once pretended to be Top Shelf at a bar and got free shots of crown all night!
I once pretended to be a firefighter and made out with a chick on her bachelorette party. I noticed "kiss a firefighter" was on her list of things to do.
I pretended to be a lawyer once while getting kicked out of bar in pioneer square. The bouncer did not care
I used to pretend to be related to motocross champ Chad reed and print fake emails and autographs to get free stuff from friends back in high school.
One of my friends was pretending to be a 14 year old girl, chatting with older men online. They were sending him phones, cameras, and hundreds of dollar
I work with a guy that looks like chuck Norris so he is constantly getting asked to pose for pictures

What is the definition of a good wine?
It should start and end with a smile.
William Sokolin
How long does a divorce last? A few hours squirming in a quiet courtroom? A year of hammering out financial agreements and custody issues? Eleven years of wondering? Eleven years is not what I'd have guessed or chosen to stretch it out to, but that's the way it happened. Try as I might to make the whole process faster, more painless, or a manifestation of great wisdom and discernment, eleven years is just the way it happened.
Nothing helps a decade pass better than a glass of wine in the evening. It gets dark, the neighborhood lights go off one by one, and I grow introspective. To uncork a bottle of something that has traveled a long way between a small green grape hanging on a spindly vine in the sun, to a dark, ruby-red elixir is nothing short of inspiring; amazing. That's precisely what I needed every night of eleven years not knowing where my own journey would take me.
If you love wine, sooner or later you wonder what a really good, expensive bottle of wine tastes like. You know, the kind of wine that has been waiting under a veil of dust in a cool, dark subterranean cellar for years, and is gently slid from the rack at just the right moment in time. The kind of wine that is uncorked and allowed to breathe before a trickle of the dark, red wine is poured into a glass. The kind of wine that smells of warm blackberries, cherries, and fresh-tilled soil.
I couldn't afford a good bottle of wine, but I bought one anyway. I drove to the local wine store and parted with fifty dollars, listening to the assurance of the salesperson that the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon would age beautifully and come to a rich fullness in time. He promised, 'It will not disappoint.' It was a gift to myself and an incentive to be patient. There would come a day when I would either celebrate a coming back together with my wife, or mark the painful moving forward of a divorce. On that day, in the quiet of the evening, whenever it would come, I would pull the bottle from the dark shelf in my closet, and mark the time and occasion thoughtfully.
Eleven years passed very slowly. There was a new job, moving to a new state, two young children wondering what was going on, false starts at getting back together, tears, depression, hope, and divorce papers drafted and redrafted. A couple times a year, I would reach into the dark closet and give the bottle a gentle turn wondering when I would open it, and what it would taste like after such patient tending. The bottle probably didn't need turning, but there was something reassuring to me about holding it in my hand and feeling its substance and the coolness of the glass.
Then the day finally came—the one to mark. It was not the joyous occasion of a healing marriage and reunion of the family that I'd hoped for, but it was a final divorce that brought closure and the freedom to live in ways I'd dared not before. I pulled down the long-held bottle of wine to mark the moment in life with friends, Glenn and Chris, who had cared for me without expectation over the years. We gathered for dinner around a meal prepared in a manner that I had come to admire Glenn and Chris for; a meal prepared with conversation and laughter, full of flavor and spice, offering something familiar and something new. And then there was the bottle of wine. They loved wine, too, and it was a fitting pleasure to share this moment with them, the three of us, around a meal.
Glenn pulled the cork, slowly poured three glasses of the very deep red Cabernet, and passed us each a glass. We looked at each other and nodded, toasted by touching glasses across the table, and sipped knowing that life for me was different from this point on. There was a long, deep sip, and then—oh, my god—could it be any more awful? We puckered and winced and spit the bitter, vinegary wine back into our glasses. Eleven years had not been so kind to the wine I'd coddled and waited for.
We laughed so hard we cried and the humor of the moment perhaps gave my real tears cover. Another bottle of wine was brought out and uncorked. And later, another. There was so much to celebrate even though little was certain, and not much can be promised about life and wine. None of it was what I expected, but I can't say I'd skip the waiting and wondering if I had the choice. When I sit in the dark now, and think about it, I know for certain that the life in between, and after, was well worth the fifty dollars and eleven years.

Jammy with great legs, October 5, 2007 By Laurie Hall 'Olde New Castle, DE' - See all my reviews I read this book with a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye. Each story has an aroma all its own: some dark, some sweet, some spicy. Inhaling them carried me back to my own red and white moments when I was happier than I've ever been and sadder than I ever want to be again, thus the smiles and tears. Besides the rousing good stories, there's great information about wine scattered through out its pages. Great balance and complexity that never disappoints. This book definitely has legs.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

This book is the perfect present for the holiday season 'or any other special occasion'. For those not knowing what to give as a gift, this little tome will definitely please male and female friends and relatives with its inspirational true stories of wine and how the wine drinking experience has brought people together in fellowship and family. First off, this book looks a bit different from the usual Chicken Soup book - the cover is about an inch smaller in size and the inside pages are an off-white color (instead of the usual bright white) which makes reading easy on the eyes. The cover is shaded with a rosy pink, reminiscent of rose wine - a nice touch. It's a pleasure to hold this book in my hands. And it's an even greater pleasure to relax with this book for an uplifting spell of reading enjoyment. I always feel better after leafing through a Chicken Soup book, and this one in particular. I thrive on 'feel good' stories. I appreciate the life lessons that the authors provide, and I get a kick out of seeing how they incorporate those lessons with the joy of wine. Pass the cheese tray, friends, and relax with a glass of rose or white wine - and this book.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Dog with tummy trouble
Last week the dog could not keep food down. I took him to the vet who could find nothing wrong and gave him a shot of cerenia and recommended small meals which solved the problem until today. He won't eat again tonight and is eating grass like a horse, in the back yard.
Any suggestions for tummy trouble like this? Home remedies? He acts fine, enjoyed his walk and did a good poop on the walk. I'll try him later again on dinner. It's a Westie by the way.
7:45--he ate a little chicken. We'll see if it stays down.
This post was edited by socks12345 on Sat, May 11, 13 at 22:46
He eats Merrick kibble with 2 tablespoons of homemade ground turkey with vegetables (a recipe recommended by Westie Rescue of Orange County). He has been on this diet about a month.
So far the chicken has stayed down.
Edited Sunday morning: he's back to eating again. Yay!!!

My lab would have episodes where she could not keep food down for a day or two, and she would sometimes eat grass like you mentioned your dog doing.
I got in the habit of just switching her to certain foods when she had a bad spell. She loved rice, sometimes with peas and carrots in it, and sometimes with boiled hamburger- it depended on how "off" her tummy was. When she got older, I'd make her baked potatoes with butter, which she loved and it generally sat pretty well. It seemed like she'd need 2 or 3 meals of "comfort food" and then she'd be right back to her regular stuff.
ETA: I wanted to clarify some info about potatoes before I get flamed here. In regard to feeding dogs baked potatoes, I often microwaved them and fed them to her without the skin. Some people are cautious about potato skins, as some feel they are toxic to dogs and cats. In my research it seems that the problems occur with green skins/eyes, and raw skins and potato, so would definitely avoid those if you ever have an inkling to give your dog a baked potato :)
Best of luck.

I have a old Yorkie that has stomach problems. I took her to vets for years for this until I figured out that when she seems to have a belly ache, I give her 1/4 of a carafate tablet mixed with water in a syringe a couple of times a day and feed her Hills I/D perscription food for a couple of days. She's only had to go to the vet once in the past 3 years for this. That was only because I was taking care of a sick family member and missed her symptoms. I get the carafate from the Mexican pharmacy in Algadones, MX.
I have a vet that will sell me the I/D anytime I ask. He also keeps an eye on my old girls health for me.

Dear White's,
I have been metal detecting for 23 years, being retired from work leaves me lots of time for metal detecting. I've been detecting in the Bay city of Michigan, which is an old lodging town with lots of bars dated back to the 1800's.
White detecting last week I found an 1885 V nickel under the sidewalks that are being replaced. This is a find of a lifetime, with that some 1800 Indian head coins and silver coins.
I love the XLT, it's a great machine!

"No," he replied, "I've never done either."

"No, I've never done any of those things either."

"You crafty bastard," said the fairy.
We recently spent $2500 on a young Black Angus bull. We put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn't even look at a cow. I was beginning to suspect he was gay, if that's possible with a bull.
Anyhow, I had the Vet come have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possible a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.
Holy crap. The bull started to service the cows within two days. All of my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred all my neighbor's
cows! He's been breeding just about everything in sight. He's like a machine!
I don't know what in hell was in the pills the Vet gave him, but they kinda taste like peppermint.

WHITBY -- Council will hear from residents regarding a plan to update the Town of Whitby's rules on operating home-based businesses at a public meeting on Feb. 19.
The proposed changes are intended to harmonize the process of permitting home-based businesses such as baking and catering operations, pet grooming, or music and art instruction.
The Town's official plan permits home-based businesses in residential areas subject to certain criteria and performance standards, as well as compliance with zoning bylaws. However, the Town's zoning bylaws, approved in the 1960s, have not been amended to implement the direction of the official plan. Currently, older zoning provisions for areas such as the downtown allow home occupations but they are not identified as a permitted use in newer subdivisions.
The public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. in council chambers, 575 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby. Those who are unable to attend the meeting can submit their comments in writing by mail or personal delivery to Whitby's planning department no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11. Written submissions should be made to the Town Clerk, Corporation of the Town of Whitby, 575 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby, ON L1N 2M8.
COUNCIL BRIEF: Region's environmental advisory committee spreads the word
Andy Barrington from the Durham Environmental Advisory Committee dropped by Whitby council chambers on Feb. 11 to remind the Town about upcoming awards.
DEAC is a voluntary committee that was established to provide advice to regional planning staff on environmental matters. DEAC's activities range from providing comments on environmental impact studies prepared for various regional official plan amendment applications to providing comments on environmental assessment studies being undertaken by the Region. DEAC is also active with education and outreach activities, which include the environmental achievement awards.
The awards are intended to recognize environmental achievements of individuals and organizations in the public, private and non-profit sectors within Durham.
Last year, one of the awards was presented to Wilson Paterson, owner of Royal Ashburn Golf Club in Whitby for starting a new wetlands conservation and educational project.
This year's awards will be held on Thursday, May 9 and the deadline for nominations is Monday, March 4. Nomination forms, as well as examples of past award recipients, are available on the Region's website.

COUNCIL BRIEF: Library staff praised by councillors
Council recognized the Whitby Public Library at a special presentation, commending staff for their recent achievements.
Whitby library CEO Ian Ross and longtime library board member Jane Hilton were presented certificates for winning awards from the Ontario Library Association at its annual Super Conference last month.
"This community has invested heavily into our library system because it's what the community wants," said Mayor Pat Perkins.
Mr. Ross received the W.J. Robertson Medallion, an honour bestowed on a librarian who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in the advancement of public library service. Ms. Hilton was honoured with the James Bain Medallion, which is presented to an Ontario public library trustee who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in governing a public library.
"Our library is extraordinarily well funded and we have, I think, the best library system in Ontario," said Whitby library CEO Ian Ross at the presentation.
"I meet all kinds of people all the time from libraries not just in Ontario but around Canada and in North American who are very envious of the wonderful service we provide."
The Whitby library's archives digitization project, undertaken in 2008 to digitize an extensive collection of historic photographs, also received an award at the conference.

need help identifiying this tree
I need help in identifying the tree that's in the house I bought recently in California. A landscaper said it was probably a walnut or hazel nut but he wasn't sure. There are a couple more trees nearby that he said were weeds, and they looked similar to this. Right now there are no flowers, so I don't know if it's a flowering tree. If anyone could identify the tree, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hahaha! That was good!
Hazel, at least those I'm familiar with, look completely different. One linked in below for you to see.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia - Corylus americana
they dont have a 'landscaper' ..
they have a guy with a shovel ... and pruning shears ...
well.. you get what you pay for.. i suppose ... and i hope they arent paying good money for his wisdom .. his back-breaking labor maybe.. but not his wisdom..

Jim Harbaugh on Texas coaching rumors: 'Are you trying to be funny?'
For some reason, it appears as though 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is a potential candidate for the University of Texas football job (status update: that job is still being held by Mack Brown).
As such, it made sense that the 49ers beat writers, after his name has been bandied about in the last day or two, would ask Harbaugh about the possibility of his interest.
Which Harbaugh found laughable. Or he didn't find laughable. I'm not sure what he meant by this.
"Are you trying to be funny?" Harbaugh said after he was asked a question about Texas, via the San Jose Mercury News.
As the newspaper points out, Harbaugh is in the third year of a five-year, $25 million contract, and there was a report that Harbaugh "flat-out rejected" USC when it came after him after it fired Lane Kiffin.
"I don't ever talk about any job other than the one I have," Harbaugh said Thursday.
As my CBSSports.com colleague Will Brinson aptly put it, "There are only 32 NFL jobs. Guys who are having success like [Mike] Tomlin (despite the Steelers recent struggles he has a Super Bowl win and a pair of AFC championships) and Harbaugh aren't bolting the NFL for a college football gig. You could argue that the Texas job is better than some NFL jobs (maybe, say, the Texans?). That's fine. But the 49ers and Steelers jobs don't open up very often."
Right. It just seems unlikely that Harbaugh would get rid of his current job in order to go back to college. And seriously, I'm not even trying to be funny.

Outside is nice and I love the office. The rest of the house just needs some fresher decor. Some rooms I feel like I'm in the 15th century.
I have loved this house for years, but the last time I saw the interior was in the mid 80s. The interior was very different, and better, then. I don't like what's been done to the interior; it's a weird hodgepodge between a theme park and a grandma interior. There was a Cromwell-period mantel in the living room that seems to have been removed. There are plenty of period details intact so that it could be stunning, but it needs a skilled decorator to bring it together.
It's a very tired looking home inside and out. The water slide would need to go.
The game room is a hoot!
This house is clinging to its old world charm by threads!! Someone please buy this house and treat it to a detailed restoration. It almost seems like someone bought this in the 80's/90's and turn it into a family fun land. This house doesn't deserve such disrespect. I bet the original builders are turning in their graves… At least the grounds are nice!
Jeff P.
The kid in me loves that it has a 185 ft. water slide.
Kenny – how about a feature on private homes with lavish resort-style pools?
Jamie I like this home because of the water-slide it remins me of resort and spa so to me its like a family dining..hawailli is always one of the nicest place on earth it has his very own lock and key dorm where you could leave a privacy party and enjoy your stay.I want to come here and live alot I will get lucky someday:)

Some colleagues of mine are experiencing the following weird issue, with an MVC2 application that is contained within a solution of around a dozen class libraries.

The solution is fully built however and manually removing the BIN folder contents, rebuilding and re-running the application does not fix the issue. All the DLLs which are required are present in the bin directory of the MVC application and for most of the developers, there are no issues.
The only workaround we have found to date, is to remove the temporary asp.net files from the offending machine AND clear the working directory of all files and then perform a "Get specific version" from TFS. Once this has been done - rebuilding the project and running it makes it all work again.
Can anybody shed any light on why this is occasionally affecting us? It's infrequent and has only affected a few individuals so far, but it's really frustrating to work out and has used up several days already trying to find a reason why and put something in place to stop it.
Using VS2010 SP1 and TFS 2010 via Team Explorer, Windows XP dev machines (Unfortunately) with IIS Express. No other weird or wonderful environment or build oddities that I can think to mention

A Grim Task: Military-Death Notification
By editor
Originally published on Mon May 27, 2013 11:11 am
Among the many thousands of men and women who chose to serve in the military, few volunteer for the duty of death notification. As the nation honors those killed in the line of duty, those who work intimately with the families of the fallen share their stories. (Originally broadcast May 29, 2006.)

Snapper RER
Hello, need some help.... I have a 2003 M301021BE snapper RER. I am not getting a spark at the plug.... I have replaced the solenoid, replaced the seat switch, the switch in the rear, checked the blade engagement switch, put a new magneto in, checked and cleaned the plug.... Now the starter will not even turn over... Trickle charged the battery last night... Has good compression... What am I missing? Last year it would die once it got warm... Assumed it was the magneto going bad... Please keep me from going completely crazy I am. Patient man.... This one is getting to me.... Any help would be just great!
Sounds like you went backwards? I hate that feeling. If you were cranking, and now not- what would have changed is the first question. The second is, once it is cranking what is keeping it from having spark. A test that you can do is to remove the kill wire -from the coil if you have to. Then, it should be generating spark if the coil is good. Below is a link for wiring diagrams. Hopefully you can find that miss placed wire or popped fuse.

Product description
After the collapse of the Han dynasty in the third century CE, China divided along a north-south line. Mark Lewis traces the changes that both underlay and resulted from this split in a period that saw the geographic redefinition of China, more engagement with the outside world, significant changes to family life, developments in the literary and social arenas, and the introduction of new religions. The Yangzi River valley arose as the rice-producing center of the country. Literature moved beyond the court and capital to depict local culture, and newly emerging social spaces included the garden, temple, salon, and country villa. The growth of self-defined genteel families expanded the notion of the elite, moving it away from the traditional great Han families identified mostly by material wealth. Trailing the rebel movements that toppled the Han, the new faiths of Daoism and Buddhism altered every aspect of life, including the state, kinship structures, and the economy. By the time China was reunited by the Sui dynasty in 589 ce, the elite had been drawn into the state order, and imperial power had assumed a more transcendent nature. The Chinese were incorporated into a new world system in which they exchanged goods and ideas with states that shared a common Buddhist religion. The centuries between the Han and the Tang thus had a profound and permanent impact on the Chinese world.

John Constable: Landscape and Prophecy
It could be just a fine landscape painted in the colder months in England, but RT feels there's something prescient or even prophetic about this untitled painting by John Constable. The image, with its loose, impressionistic style, anticipates art that would have been considered avant-garde a half-century after Constable painted it (1811), and its subject is nothing tangible, but rather the mood it creates in the viewer. We see here a movement away from the heroic and romantic concerns of the 18th and 19th centuries towards a direct encounter with nature and experience, the commonplace that is somehow not commonplace. The beauty of humanity and nature are here in balance, a poise we need to encourage in our century. RT

In his research for his mother's memoirs and family history in general, RT has run across many amazing images. He offers one such discovery here, Dust Clouds and Car, by American photo-journalist Arthur Rothstein. It's worth noting that RT's mom was driven by her adoptive mother three times cross country from New York City to Lake Tahoe, starting in 1937. RT has yet to find an image that captures the dangers and mystery of the 1930s as effectively as this one does.
RT has also managed to watch Grand Hotel, a classic early Hollywood talkie. Another trick-up-his-sleeve: he has run across Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, one of the great surviving silent movies, and will be watching it in the next few days. Expect reviews of both films in these pages in the next week or so.
The 1930s and 40s are widely understood as an epochal period, and we're very lucky to be able to experience these years through the best artistic efforts of the time.

Ah, Madrid!!!
RT never managed to visit Spain while his family was posted in France; the deal was that he got to go to Russia, and his younger brother visited Spain the following year. RT has always been satisfied with the trade-off.
But this marvelous early-modern view of Madrid makes him wonder. The seat of the Spanish government pretty much continuously since 1561, Madrid boasts an impressive inventory of architecture, museums, and Bohemian venues. And then there is the rest of Spain; RT at the moment wouldn't mind spending a few days in Toledo, Spain's "City of Three Cultures."
RT has heard that an intense, spiritual beauty is to be found throughout the Iberian peninsula, in part the gift of a long, complex, and passionate history.

Karnak, Thebes, and the Hedjet
As May draws to a close, RT offers this photograph of a magnificent frieze at Karnak, the temple district of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. Karnak is the largest ancient religious site in the world, and RT is beginning to suspect that Thebes played a primary role in the evolution of ancient Mediterranean religion.
In part, RT's interest in Thebes is based on its frequent appearance in Greek myth, in part on the fact that the ancient crown of Upper Egypt, the Hedjet, looks remarkably like the crown worn by Baal, the chief god of ancient Phoenicia. Though Thebes was not the capital of pre-dynastic Upper Egypt, it was the administrative center of Upper Egypt under the Pharaohs (and is located not far from Nekhen, which was the capital of p-d Upper Egypt.) How did the epochal unification of Egypt (c. 3000 BC) under Narmer (or Menes), king of UE, affect developing religious beliefs?
Unfortunately, RT can say little at the moment about the significance of the scene recorded in the frieze, other than that it is located in the precinct of Amun-Re. A date and translation of the inscription would help greatly; there's more research ahead for RT.

Music Covers, Translation, and Perpetuum Jazille
chez RT, the muses have been on self-ordered R&R, the Dragons of Grammar have only been occasionally sighted over distant ocean horizons, and RT himself has been attending to such nitty-gritties as the extermination of bed-bugs (victory seems imminent) and the rearrangement of household furniture after knock-down, drag-out fights with the insect world.
Whew! No wonder RT has recently immersed himself in the world of YouTube, listening to old favs and checking out the impressive poetry offerings to be found on that site. But as always, discovery awaits the explorer.
Now for the details: RT has long been a fan of the pop group Toto, a phenom of the 70s and 80s best known for its ballad-style lyrics and dramatic musical arrangements. Love and corn have been the bailiwick of this group, and more power to them: where would poetry be without love and corn?
As a result of this surfing, RT has discovered the field of musical covers, that is, versions of well-known songs performed by musicians other than those who originally created the song. Is the cover better than the original? You the listener decide. The process can't help but remind RT of literary translations from language to language (and in particular, poetry translations), and so he has decided to volunteer his critical two cents.
Surely, covers as an endeavor are more precise and accurate than poetry translations. Music is the international language, its notation standardized (for the most part) centuries ago. Western staff notation, as it is known, tells the performer the pitch, speed, meter, and individual rhythms of a particular musical work. To balance out this precision in European classical music, improvisation, the practice of creating spontaneous music during a performance, has developed. Together with musical ornamentation, improvisation allows the musician(s) performing a piece to add his, her, or their individual interpretations, greatly enriching the musical possibilities of a particular performance.
Needless to say, poetry has a far less precise muse, yet produces its own beauty. What is the difference between poetry translation and musical interpretation? RT has suggested several times that poetry exists in the tension between meaning and music, between the thought and beauty; it grows out of the roots of the spoken word. He will now suggest that music has a similar set of roots, not in speech, but in movement. To take the argument further, RT thinks that movement is a primary means of remaining connected to the external world; spatial coordination, overseen by sight, is music's basic mental function. On the other hand, speech is deeply internal, arising out of inner silence, the stillness that human meaning arises from. Speech, in contrast, may be rooted in some kind of crisis.
Does tension between movement and music exist? As far as RT can see, the opposite is the case: movement and motion reinforce each other.
So we are looking at what may be two very different ways of creating beauty.
Take it on home, RT! A few nights ago, YouTube introduced RT to Perpetuum Jazille's cover of Toto's hit, Africa. RT was impressed by the degree to which PJ reproduced Africa using an entirely different orchestration. RT will venture that PJ's approach to the song resembles a pointillist painting. He encourages readers to watch the YouTube videos of Toto's and PJ's versions of the song (the links to YouTube are below) and asks his readers to pay attention to the very different motions (and number of musicians) associated with each version. Though the two versions are meant to sound the same, do they? Which approach to the musical notation is better?

Reading a Book
Reading a book is like visiting a city you've never been to before. The city must be glamorous in some way, if not overtly, than in the details of its construction and history, the beautiful building or courtyard that reveals itself via a quick glance aside from the street, and the story that glance implies of the building's occupants. The city may be dirty, crime-ridden, a den of vice, but it must be intricate. It must be a navel of the world.
You are being born again. Forget whatever has come before; it's been reduced to a reference chart, an album of old photographs. This is the best kind of culture shock; you chose it.
Reading a book is always true. You the child progress through the pages. You learn and you grow, you marvel and you despair. Situations arise that you can't understand or even comprehend. The woman who tells you she runs the large school you attend may be your mother. The man wearing the jacket of a naval captain may be your father. He may be going to his death. He gives you a silver coin.
Reading a book is like falling in love. Serendipity. Somebody is waiting for you, someone who stops you in argument or conversation. Outside the chocolate shop, at the old library, in an empty room. Someone calls out from an open window, asking about the bicycle you're riding or offering to take you where you're going in their boat. They are the person you can't believe is interested in you, so different, so crazy you wonder how they can exist at all. They are the one who brought you here.
You are dying. You have no family, no friends, no work. You have only this passion.

... know how much space BRAS take up?!?!?! I'm having a panic attack right now thinking about only taking 3 or 4 bras! And do I really need to take four swimsuits, four clubbing outfits, all those hair products, toiletries, and makeup? My poor back is going to hate me if I don't trim down the items that I am absolutely going to NEED.)
Anyway, this is probably the only entry I will make before my trip, so I will write again on the 27th! Until ...
Initially we came to Pittsburgh looking to see the Andy Warhol museum and visit the Carnegie Hall where the last lecture was given... And then we saw the sky and knew we had to find a spot for sunset. The top hit was Mount Washington. Getting there was pretty cool, the mountain side was filled with full house style houses. And freeways through mountains. Once you get to Mount Washington stay on Grandview Ave for the ...
I'm finally here!
... After lunch we headed out to Oakland which is the home to the University of Pittsburgh's main campus. We saw two main buildings there, the Cathedral of Learning and the Heinz Memorial Chapel. The 42 storey "cathedral" built in 1926 is used for lectures. Two of the floors are known as the Nationality Rooms. The rooms have been designed to recreate cultural periods prior to the University's founding in 1787. I only went to a couple of the 29 rooms but one, the ...

... awesome like that, but that's a given, right?
When I made it back up to my room, I decided that it was once more time to try doing laundry. You guys remember me mentioning performing the sniff test this morning? Yeah, laundry was so, so necessary.
Since my last attempt at laundry was less than successful, I tried a different method this time. Instead of putting them in the bathtub, I instead simply stepped directly into the shower ...
