Daigneault Stands Out in Admirals Win
Oct 26, 2007
Maxime Daigneault stopped 27 shots in his first Milwaukee appearance and Cal O'Reilly broke a scoreless tie with a shorthanded goal in the third as the Admirals won at Quad City Friday night, 2-0.
O'Reilly stripped Flames defenseman Tim Hambly of a bouncing puck at the Admirals blue line and sped in on goalie Curtis McElhinney. A backhand move put the puck in the net and gave the Admirals all the team would need on this night.
Milwaukee added an insurance goal when Mike Santorelli made a nice stick-handling play to the front of the Flames net. His shot was stopped, but he slapped in the rebound for his third of the year. Ryan Maki and Kelsey Wilson recorded assists.
Daigneault's biggest save came while Quad City was trying to convert a 5-on-3 power play in the second period. A pass went from Daigneault's right to his left. Daigneault slid and stretched the left leg to kick what looked like an easy goal away.
The Admirals were outshot 15-3 in the second period, but outshot the Flames 12-4 in the third and finished with a 28-27 advantage.
The Admirals host the Chicago Wolves for the first time of the season Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Gulf Spill - Australia's Kimberly Next?

Watch this clip to understand why I am so passionate about protecting this incredible and remote natural wonder and everything in it, including sea turtles.

Gmail seems okay, but the market doesn't download apps for some reason.
Gmail sync was hit and miss. I am just going to pay the 30 bucks until someone figures it out.

Rezound User - Retired Techie
I am a new user to the Rezound. After the ICS update I was able to get tethering to work with my laptop with Easytether Pro ($10). Admittedly it requires a USB cable to connect the phone to the computer, but it works flawlessly. Also, I was able to tether the phone to our Samsung Galaxy Tabs wirelessly using FoxFi and PDAnet. Just some food for thought for those of you paying Verizon to tether your phone to your devices.
So, I get a notification that there is an update for FoxFi. So I'm like, cool...maybe something in the update will address the issue I am having, in that it doesn't work for me.
Nope. I couldn't even download it. It said it wasn't compatible with my OS. I am running ICS. WTF?
WiFi tether for root just updated and now has the ability to set up for rezound. It works but not that fast.
Verizon got foxfi blocked in the Google play store.
To download it, go to their webpage
FoxFi Installer
Hmmm... Really, got a link to some info on that? Googled it and couldn't find any reputable info on it. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that FoxFi pulled the compatibility flag on the Rezound temporarily until they figure out why it doesn't work on the new ICS firmware because they think it should work properly. I would think that for VZW to block it now after allowing it for a long time and considering the recent legal decision regarding them charging for tethering, they would not even attempt to block it.
Yes, search the Google play store and you will find a foxfi add-on app. The main purpose of this additional app being published is to explain to you and I that Sprint AT&T and Verizon are blocking foxfi from being installed by the Google play store, and to go to that website to download it.

BOSTON (November 10, 2009) — The U.S. Senate recently voted to confirm David S. Ferriero, an alumnus of the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, as archivist of the United States at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Ferriero was nominated by President Barack Obama in July.
Ferriero, a 1974 graduate of the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, will become the 10th archivist since NARA was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA is the nation's primary record keeping organization, with holdings dating back to 1775. The U.S. Archivist is responsible for oversight of the activities of NARA, such as holding public records and releasing government documents, including presidential papers.
Previously, Ferriero served as the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the New York Public Libraries, one of the largest public library systems in the U.S. and one of the largest research library systems in the world. In this position, Ferriero was responsible for collection strategy; conservation; digital experience; reference and research services; and education, programming, and exhibitions. Previously, Ferriero served as the chief executive of NYPL's Research Libraries, and as the university librarian and vice provost for library affairs at Duke University. He began his career as a junior library assistant at the MIT Libraries, where he spent 31 years, leaving in 1996 as the acting co-director of the MIT Libraries.
The nationally ranked Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science is one of the oldest and largest library and information science programs in the nation. Founded in 1899, Simmons College is a nationally recognized university located in the heart of Boston that includes an undergraduate college for women, the nation's first MBA program designed specifically for women, and graduate programs for women and men in health sciences, social work, library and information science, education, liberal arts, and communications management.

Is It Ever OK To Use Groupon On A Date?
Is a guy cheap if he uses flash deals to pay?
For something that's been going on since the beginning of time, dating always seems to find a way to become more difficult each year.
First guys had to worry about picking the girl up or meeting her. After they figured that out, they had to worry about where to take her and how much to spend.
Now, in 2012, the fellas have yet another issue to confront: How to pay for everything.
We're not talking "paper or plastic" either. We're talking if he should pay full price or use one of those God-blessed discount services like Groupon, LivingSocial or Scoutmob when taking a lady out on a date.
During a recent episode of "The Wendy Williams Show" on BET, the host and the crowd debated if a man pulling out his phone and using a Groupon coupon on a date were examples of acceptable behavior. The majority of the women in the audience said "hell no" in so many words.
[ALSO READ: Up Your Holiday Dating Game]
They aren't the only ones who feel that way either. Ask your female friends on Twitter and Facebook and they'll probably tell you the same.
In fact, the ladies have been quietly talking about this among themselves for some time now.
Online relationship show host Vanae of Vanae.com declared that Groupons are okay when in a relationship, but not for first dates.
"I just don't think you should use it on a first date," said Andrea Jackson, a library manager in Atlanta. "[It] does look cheap. If we continue to date, I think it's dinner after several dates."
"I think using Groupon on a first or second date may turn some women off," said Jen McKinnon, an independent social media manager. "Some women may view it as cheap and/or informal. Others might view it as being up on new trends though; it depends on her personality."
[ALSO READ: How to Handle a Cheap Date]
True, guys should probably pay closer attention to who they are asking out before they decide whether or not to whip out the Scoutmob. If your date's handbag cost three times as much as your car note, there is a chance that she's going to trip off of you not putting your best dollar forward when in her presence. If her idea of a good time mainly consists of having money spent on her just for the hell of it, best believe she's going to want every penny dedicated to her, not just 50 percent.
However, not everybody thinks it's a big deal if a Groupon is used.
Self-employed travel booking agent Cynthia Charles said no man has used a flash deal site on an outing with her, but if he did, she wouldn't mind.
"If he did and we did something fun and fabulous I would be a-ok with it," she said. "I see him as being financially responsible. If there are discounts, why not take advantage of it?"
Not surprisingly, guys seem to agree wholeheartedly.
"I can see a female thinking that a guy is cheap on first impression. However, the guy is paying for the date; you should be happy," said Branden Peters, a lifestyle writer from Oakland. "A lot of people don't have disposable income.
"I think it's easier and more acceptable for something that's not a sit-down date," he added, "but something that you're buying tickets for instead of a restaurant visit."
It sounds like the ladies don't mind guys using Groupons on dates; it just depends on what it is. So guys, if you're wanting to take the young lady out on a helicopter ride, LivingSocial is all good. But if you're going out for steak, shrimp and the "cheddar biscuits," you're going to have to spend your cheese. Unless you're lucky like Washington, D.C.-based writer Justin Tinsley, and you find someone who may treat you to a Groupon date in the future.
"Groupon and LivingSocial are godsends," he said, remembering the last time he used one on a date. "She was like, 'Damn; word? I'm 'bout to sign up for this too, save me some money.'"

It really is like taking a step back in time and discovering a classic game that you never played, yet has been updated graphically and influenced by more recent games.
A definite case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. If you never played this style game before, subtract a point for how dated the whole thing will feel. If you're a fan of this style of RPG, add a point for the memories it will bring back.
This game could have been so much better if it would have been for the DS. The limitations of this game are most likely caused by the sheer limitations of the GBA.
Mazes of Fate is a classic example of a lovingly crafted yet off-beat GBA title – it might smell a bit iffy but the gameplay can be truly intoxicating.
The story is great, the dungeons and interface are laid out well, the enemy selection is good and the action is pretty entertaining. However, the presentation found within is very 1991, so be prepared to make friends with a game that's certainly not the new kid on the block.
Mazes of Fate isn't the most technically impressive GBA game, and its shortcomings are more glaring this late in the handheld's life, but the gameplay is as solid old-school RPG as you can get.
If you're a fan of old-school dungeon crawlers, you're definitely going to like Mazes of Fate. It's a decent game, and while not for everyone, it can provide hours of entertainment for the open-minded gamer.
Mazes of Fate has a great premise and some interesting ideas, but it never leaves the trappings of the old-school dungeon crawlers it's based on.
It's a game built for the fans that grew up playing classic games on early computers. For many gamers it may be a title their father will find more interesting than they do.
Despite some good aspects, I can't recommend Mazes of Fate unless you're willing to tolerate a half-decent game for 20 hours.
Old school dungeon crawlers or fans of puzzles and long dungeons will enjoy this title. Those looking for a quick game to pick up and play here and there, or looking for great visuals or audio with a detailed storyline, should look elsewhere.
Mazes Of Fate is more a love letter from its developers to the beloved PC adventure games of yore than an enjoyable experience.
At least MoF is easy to get into, furnishing the player with plenty of quests and side-quests for the checklist-happy RPG fan.
Mazes of Fate might have had a slim chance a few years ago, but arriving alongside infinitely more capable competition renders rough, mediocre and annoying content immediately, undesirably obsolete.
You can find better RPGs for the GBA, period. It's something of a diamond in the rough, it's just a bit too rough to recommend.

I worked for Dana Perfumes for 33 years in the compounding dept from 1963 until 1997. The original Ambush cologne was a compaion product to mens Canoe colgne. They are the exact Fragrance, but Ambush is heavier for women. Sometime in the early 1990s, the powers that be came with up with idea too make a new fragrence for Ambush. I told them I didn't think that was a good idea, but they new better. The new fragrence was very nice, but should have had new name. Needless to say both products suffered. If you want the old Ambush buy mens Canoe cologne and put it on a heavier.

I was trying to restock my original Ambush and find the reformulated version not to my liking, though one son (30) on whom i tested it liked this one better (I said he could give the bottle to his girlfriend). The other (28) like the original, he said it was "spicier."
Can neither recommend nor criticize: it's just not for me.

Comments about Ambush Perfume:
I gave Ambush as a gift. It usually takes a few minutes but the scent improves with body heat. It is not "weak" so much as it is understated. Adding more won't improve the scent on you, but it is truly a mesmerizing aroma. It is not musty, but it calls to mind elms and oaks and other woodsy settings. Think of it this way; imagine eating some subtle yet flavorful cheese and grapes. Now imagine eating those within a grove of redwoods.

Comments about Dana Ambush Perfume:
I wore both Ambush and Tabu in the 60s, and enjoyed both scents. I still wear Tabu, but I am not impressed with the reformulated Ambush scent. The old formula was so much better. Please Dana, bring back the old formula and let US decide wich we want!

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Charles J. HynesMay 22, 2002 Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee good morning and thank you for the invitation to testify about this very important criminal justice issue. For the record, my name is Charles J. Hynes, and I have served as the elected District Attorney of Kings County, in Brooklyn, New York since 1990. By way of brief background my county has a population of 2 and ½ million people. It is the most populous county of New York State's 62 counties, and the seventh largest county in the United States. Last year my office prosecuted over 6,000 felony cases, and although approximately 2,150 were for the possession or sale of drugs, a large percentage of the nearly 4000 other felony cases were drug related My mandate as a State Prosecutor in narcotics enforcement is to prosecute crimes under New York's Rockefeller Drug Laws. Our history with drug enforcement parallels that of Sections 841, 844 and 961 of 21 U.S. Code. Mr. Chairman, I have no doubt that when Congress amended these sections to impose lengthy sentences for crack cocaine, it was reacting to the sheer horror of the crack epidemic, which had devastated so many inner city communities. Our Legislature also amended the Penal Law in 1988 to include crack cocaine in our Rockefeller Drug Laws. The Rockefeller Drug Laws, created in 1973, with several sentences of life imprisonment for possession or sale tied to the weight of a narcotic substance, are reputed to be among the toughest drug laws in the nation. But the Rockefeller Drug Laws do not treat first time crack offenders with the same severity as federal law. Under the Rockefeller Drug Laws the possession of 500 milligrams of crack cocaine is a class D felony, punishable by up to seven years in state prison. However, for a first offense the court the court has several options - it can place the defendant on probation or it can impose a definite sentence of one year in a local jail. A New York defendant who is convicted of possessing five grams of crack would be guilty of a C felony, with a maximum penalty of five to fifteen years. But unlike an offender convicted under Section 844, a first time offender would also be eligible for a sentence of probation, and most first offenders receive this sentence. In order for a first time offender in New York to receive a mandatory prison sentence for simple possession of cocaine, the aggregate weight of the substance containing cocaine must be at least one-half of an ounce, enough to produce 220 ten dollar vials or ziplocks of crack for a street sale value of $2200. And this amount is almost three times greater than the five grams required under the federal statute for a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. Or, the defendant can be convicted of possessing a lesser weight with intent to sell it. But the minimum penalty for these drug crimes, a B felony under our law, is a sentence of one to three years, or if the defendant is cooperating with the prosecution, a lifetime sentence of probation. It is only when a first time New York defendant possesses much larger quantities of drugs that the longer sentences kick in. For example, a New York defendant who is convicted of possessing two ounces of a substance containing cocaine will be subject to a minimum sentence of at least three years to life imprisonment, although no one serves a life sentence for that amount. A defendant who is convicted of possessing four ounces of a substance containing cocaine (or for selling two ounces) will be subject to a minimum sentence of at least fifteen years to life imprisonment. It is this last category that has caused much of the controversy about the Rockefeller Drug Laws because it has resulted in drug mules and other middle level people receiving very long prison sentences. In a typical case in Brooklyn, a middle level dealer is someone who sells a few ounces, not kilos. Of course, even 4 ounces of cocaine can produce 1,600 ten-dollar vials or ziplocks of crack - for a street value of sixteen thousand dollars. The New York picture changes significantly when a drug defendant is convicted of a second felony because our second felony offender law requires mandatory sentences of imprisonment for lower level weights. So, for example, a New York defendant who is convicted of possessing 500 milligrams of crack cocaine, and who has a prior felony conviction for any crime, must receive a prison sentence of at least two to four years. A New York defendant whose second felony conviction is for possessing one-eighth of an ounce of a substance containing cocaine faces a mandatory prison sentence of at least three to six years. And a defendant whose second felony conviction is for possessing one-half of an ounce of a substance containing cocaine faces a mandatory sentence of at least 4 1/2 to 9 years in prison. But despite these sentences which were in effect since 1973, by 1990 the crack epidemic had led Brooklyn to become the fifth most violent municipality, per capita, in the United States. One out of every 16 of our residents was the victim of a felony crime. In 1989, 686 people I can understand that as late as 1995 the Congress and President Clinton were reluctant to change the mandatory 5 year minimum prison sentence out of a concern that crack still had, and still does have, a devastating effect on communities. But just as the passage of time has given us in New York State a new perspective about the Rockefeller Drug Laws, I would agree that a new perspective is needed about the federal drug laws. Raising the threshold level for crack cocaine in the federal statutes to a higher amount for a minimum five year sentence, and keeping a one year sentence for lesser amounts, would place the federal statutes roughly on a par with the most serious drug offenses in New York State. Raising the threshold would also alleviate the same criticism of the federal statutes that has been leveled at the Rockefeller Drug Laws: that stiff sentences for small quantities of drugs have had a disproportionate impact on poor people in general and people of color in particular. The United States Sentencing Commission figures for 2000 show that 84.7% of crack cocaine offenders were African American and nine percent were Hispanic. These figures also show that 66.5% of the crack offenders were street level dealers, and only ten percent were leaders, growers, manufacturers, financiers or money launderers. These percentages roughly correlate to the percentages in New York State where it is estimated that 94 percent of the 19,000 drug offenders in our prisons - most of whom sold or possessed small quantities of drugs - are African American or Hispanic. Among the 3,100 women in the New York State prison system, the vast majority are also women of color who have been convicted of drug offenses. And I do not believe that this problem will be solved by reducing the weight of powdered cocaine from 500 grams to a lessor amount for a five year sentence. This will not alleviate the unnecessarily long sentences served by low level street dealers, who comprise two-thirds of all crack offenders in the federal system. By supporting the proposal to raise the weight for the five year minimum for crack cocaine I do not wish to suggest for one moment that possession of drugs should not continue to have serious criminal consequences. Drug dealing is an unacceptable outrage and I have no sympathy for drug dealers whose only motive is to make money out of other people's misery. In my County I do not plea-bargain with drug traffickers. I prosecute them to the fullest extent available under the Rockefeller Drug Laws. I also believe that there can be a justification for mandatory sentences for drug offenses, if not used unfairly or harshly. In New York State the existence of mandatory prison sentences for second offenders has enabled me to establish a highly successful Drug Treatment Alternative to Prison Program called DTAP. We started our program in 1990 with one of the toughest criminal populations to rehabilitate: chronic drug offenders who sold drugs to support their habit. We took this revolving door population and gave them a second chance to straighten out their lives if they were willing to undergo 15 to 24 months of rigorous, intensive residential drug treatment. I want to emphasize that this program is totally controlled by us. We carefully screen - accepting only about a 1/3rd of the applicants- we require a guilty plea, typically 3 to 6 years, and if a defendant fails the program, we have the sentence imposed. Today, we can point with pride to the success of our program. More than 900 drug offenders have been helped by DTAP. Six hundred six have graduated and 308 are still in treatment. Our graduates have generated $23 million of economic benefits to the taxpayers of New York State by lowering health, welfare and recidivism costs and by becoming taxpayers themselves. At our annual graduation ceremony three weeks ago our guest speaker, Asa Hutchinson, the Director of the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, was visibly moved by the eloquence of our DTAP graduates. When Director Hutchinson was a member of Congress, he co-sponsored a DTAP bill that is similar to the DTAP section of your S. 304, the omnibus drug education, treatment and prevention bill which you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Leahy, Mr. Hatch and other members of the Judiciary Committee have sponsored. Our DTAP experience has proven that a tough, prosecution run treatment alternative can be operated with no threat to public safety. We have an enforcement team which apprehends 95% of our absconders within a median time of 14 days. We have a one year retention rate that is now as high as 80%, far above the national average. And the recidivism rate of our graduates is one-half the rate for eligible defendants who did not participate in the program and were sentenced to state prison. I have always maintained that it makes no sense to warehouse nonviolent drug abusers in prison for long periods of time, only to have them return to a life of crime and drugs when they are released to the community. It is my hope that the Congress will enact our DTAP proposals this year and use them as a model for federal alternative programs as well as state alternative programs. I think that any legislative changes which are contemplated in the federal statutes for a drug population that consists primarily of addicts who possess or sell drugs to support their habit should be accompanied by the enactment of mandated treatment alternatives to help rehabilitate this population. Again, thank you for this invitation. I would be happy to respond to any questions. |

25th Anniversary Reading Of 'Steel Magnolias'
Revolving around Truvy's Beauty Parlor in a small parish in modern-day Louisiana, "Steel Magnolias" is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together in a variety of ways. Both humorous and heart-wrenching, all of the action of the play takes place solely on one set — Truvy's beauty salon, which is part of her house. There are only six characters (all female) who appear onstage; a disc jockey's voice is also heard during the play. All the other characters who appear in the film version, such as the males in the ladies' lives, are only referred to in the play's dialogue. This performance will be directed by two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey and will feature multiple Emmy nominee and Golden Globe-winning actress Frances Conroy, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominee Elizabeth Perkins, Jennifer Coolidge and Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Annie Potts, along with additional cast members. |

Who says you can't entertain your whole family for $1 these days?
I rented a couple of video games like Smarty Pants, a trivia video game, and Bowling Pinbusters, a bowling game, from Blockbuster for one buck each, and the family enjoyed a lively night of video gaming fun.
As an experiment, I took some video games I rented from Blockbuster to a dinner party where I knew a couple of kiddo gamers (ages 9-13) were going to be hanging out while the adults ate.
The oldest video game genre has added a new contender. Tribes Ascend is the latest FPS game (first-person shooter game) to enter this massive market of combat competition. The new projectile producing gameplay is free, only available on the PC, multiplayer and created for the 13-plus crowd.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Sri Sri: Bhagat Singh was also supporter of non - violence. But they were encountered with one such situation, thatthey had to take such steps. Follow Sri Guru Gobind Singh, be a Saint – Sipahi. Have peace of saint in heart and strength ofwarrior in action. That is why Sri Krishan told Arjuna to be a Yogi and then fight
Sri Sri: Like an atom is inside the molecule, one that is subtle than the spirit is God. The connection is even more subtle than that between a molecule and atom. According to ancient science, if you bisect one hair vertically into 100 parts, and you take one out of those, you further bisect in 100 parts and then take one out of those. And even repeating the same process, what you get is a molecule. Even much, much smaller than that is an atom. Even subtler than that is ego and that which is more subtle than that also is themahatattva/grand element. The one whose ego has been totally dissolved, he is called Mahatama.
Sri Sri: Do you need an answer? If yes, then yes. If some people do not feel the need, then also it is alright. When you ask a question, and somebody gives an answer, the one who gives you the answer anyway plays the role of the Guru. You need medicine, and you go to a doctor. The one, who gives you medicine, becomes a doctor. Similarly who gives the answer, you accept him as your Guru.
Sri Sri: First be more and more happy and then if some moments of unpleasantness creep in life- accept them.Don't get upset because you were upset sometimes in the past, and then you will always be happy.
Sri Sri: It is quiet natural to go towards violence for survival – it is a natural instinct. But, if selfconfidence and vision is instilled in such a person, then you will find that the person walks with a vision in selfconfidence without the fear of survival problem.I have spoken about all these in a book called "Celebrating Silence". You can read that if you wish to.
Sri Sri: There is one proverb in India, "Task gets accomplished with the Sattva, and not with the material".So, in order to get something done, sattogun should rise. And what does one do to increase Sattogun?With right food, right conduct, and relaxing your mind for some time - This is first. Secondly, even if you face failure inspite of that, sattogun doesn't let your enthusiasm to shatter, and when that driving force is still there, you don't eventhink of dropping. Like if gambler wins once, he develops that taste to win. And then he continues to play again and againwith the wish to win, and even when some failure is encountered, hedoesn'teven think of dropping in between. Even duringsome failure, that strong conviction of achieving some good is there, and this conviction will be there when you have thatdedication for the task. Like, with enthusiasm in action and peace in heart, people kept fighting for freedom for twocenturies.The ones who were fighting for freedom, theydidn'tget any money, they didn't steal anything, but did they leavethe drive?And third factor, look for the reason of failure. Every failure is a step towards success. One reason can be some weakness inoneself or some weak point in the system, arrangements. Self weakness – like someone is not able to present the workproperly. E.g. if you go for interview, and say some words here and there, then interviewer develops a doubt if you would beable to do that or not. So, onedoesn'tget job because of one's weakness. To get rid of one's weakness, enhance yourabilities.Each failure is a step towards success, so analyze what did you learn out of this? Did you flow with the emotions? You didn'tconsult those who are already into that profession? Youdidn'ttrust them, or you didn't keep faithful people with you. Allthese reasons could be there. So, to get rid of any weakness, enhance your ability, and go into the depth of knowledge of thefield in which you wish to move ahead.Second is to amend the system or arrangements. Now, this is not in hands of a single person. Like if corruption is to bechecked, can you fight alone? Be with the group. Awaken that intelligence in people for that. Get people to move ahead withyou."Sanghe Shakti Kaliyuge"In kalyuga, the power is in the team. People say that it is the peak of kalyuga, and it is as if truth has taken a backseat.If you feel like that, then work in a team. Take some people along and then see if the task gets accomplished or not. Toenhance capability, you would have to do something yourself, go within yourself. Be in the world to get more people along,and be with yourself to gain abilities. Taking along both the fields, you will definitely get success in your tasks.If you have given all your trials, put in your 100 percent and if, even then, youdidn'tget success, then it isOK. Takesome other work in your hands. But don't run away if you face failure for the first or second time.
Sri Sri: What is the crux of life? At least, first you start exploring within for that adventure! What should Itell you beforehand? The whole life is in search of some juice, some happiness. Where you feel happiness, solaced, be atpeace there, relax there. And you get that joy when you look within. Meditation is such a joy! When the tiredness cracksaway, you get that relaxation, that joy you are looking for.
Sri Sri: Ya, we need to deal with them with patience and will have to educate them. It is not an easy task butperhaps we should do it by inviting them and when one among them joins to spread peace, it would be easy.

Recipe by Kentucky Guera
"This is an authentic Mexican recipe that has been handed down for generations in my family."
Watch video tips and tricks
6 fresh Anaheim chile peppers
1 (8 ounce) package queso asadero (white Mexican cheese), cut into 3/4-inch thick strips
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable shortening for frying
This is the same recipe I've been using for years. They are delicious. The only thing I do differently, is to NOT rinse the peppers. You loose too much of the flavor of the pepper. The peel comes off easily if you steam them in the bowl after roasting long enough. And I just pull the seeds out with my fingers (if a few are left behind, no big deal) and I pat them inside and out with paper towels. Works great!
I have lived in NM for over 20 years and Anaheim peppers are a last resort pepper to be used. For the best chili rellenos, Hatch green chilis are the only chilis to use. Anything else in NOT authentic. However Asadero cheese is on the right track to authentic.

OMG this was delicious! Pretty easy, too. I just won't leave the charred peppers sit for more than 15 minutes. I let them sit for an hour and they ripped very easy. thanks!
I love Chili Rellenos and this is a good authentic recipe. The batter could use a little salt and I don't recommend rinsing the peppers. It washes away to smoky charred flavor. The egg batter mixture was enough to coat only 5 chilies. Next time I will add another egg to make sure I have enough batter to do all the peppers. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Delicious! Perfect texture! I froze the stuffed chilis before coating them to make them easier to handle.
I'd wondered what cheese was used in rellenos. (The restaurants in my area seem to use any old thing--yikes!) Love'em!
These were awesome and not too painful to make!! I have made rellenos before using a different (but similar) batter and I think the baking powder and dip in the flour makes all the difference. The only things I can suggest is some method tweeking. I have always removed the seeds PRIOR to broiling. It was very difficult to remove the insides while the pepper was so soft and easy to tear. And the batter - I would suggest placing some of the egg batter into the oil and place the pepper on top and then spoon some more of the batter on top of the pepper and form it around the chile with a spatula. It sounds like a lot but it is easy and provides better coverage and is less messy. Taste was right on! I have a homemade salsa made of romas & serranos that I warm and put over the relleno.
I enjoyed this dish, but we had a hard time finding Queso Asadero cheese so we ended up using pepper jack and a bag of shredded Mexican 4 cheese and stuffed them after frying them then baked them for a few mins in the oven with a little vegetable stock. It was excellent, will definitely make these again

The NAO Robot can assist teachers with their lessons in computer science, engineering, physics and even math. Randolph Township school officials already have an advanced technology department, but the addition of a programmable robot will bring the student learning experience to a whole new level.Not only is the robot able to be programmed by using simple commands like stand up, wave, and sit down, but it also can get down to some music, like Psy's hit Gangnam Style.Teq, the company who created the NAO Robot, says the robot is in its early stages, but a number of school districts are showing interest in purchasing the equipment to enhance the learning experience.Students at the school are impressed with the technology and interested in how the robot works. One student described, "It's really cool to program it, and then to actually see it in action."So far there are about 3,000 robot models integrated in classrooms around the country. A NAO Robot costs around $16,000.

I just got back from a weekend spent in Dallas with parents from all over the country. I am a native Texan (and a pistol packing mama) and I had a blast with the parents from California and other liberal states. They could not get over the fact that Texas is building roads, that office buildings are going up, and that the university we were all visiting (our kids are up for a scholarship) had three new building going up (most of which is being paid for by donors). They also could not grasp that Texans believe in self-defense and were able to carry guns (and actually USE them!). Almost every one said they wish they could move here.

TIME-honored dealer

Dan Wilder Jr., left, has taken the reins as general manager of Wilder Auto Group. Dan Wilder Sr., right, said his son always wanted to be in the car business but he wanted him to learn some good work ethics first. Wilder Jr. worked 15 years, six days a week, in the parts department.
Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash
Time Magazine has honored Dan Wilder Sr., president and principal of Wilder Automotive Group, for his service to the North Olympic Peninsula.
The longtime auto dealer with multiple agencies at 97 Deer Park Road, Port Angeles, was named one of three regional finalists for the 2010 Time Magazine Dealer of the Year.
"I was surprised to learn about this especially because I'm in an outlying area and not on the I-5 corridor," Wilder said.
He was one of 45 candidates from a pool of more than 17,000 dealerships in the country.
Last year, Wilder won Washington State's Auto Dealer of the year award.
"Even though I have these awards, it's not me. We have a lot of great people here," Wilder said about his business.
He was honored Feb. 13 at the 93rd National Automobile Dealers Association's convention and expo in Orlando.
Volkswagen start-up
Wilder owns two car dealerships, Wilder Auto Center and Wilder Toyota-Scion, plus Wilder RV, 1536 E. Front St., Port Angeles.
He bought Olympic Volkswagen in 1977 and expanded to include five other manufacturers - Toyota in 1981, Honda in 1986, Jeep and Nissan in 1987, and Scion in 2002.
"In this small community, it's hard to make a living off of one maker," Wilder said.
"The diversity helps us, and people all want personalized and practical cars."
Wilder began his career in Sacramento, Calif., as a Volkswagen parts deliverer in 1967 before quickly working his way up as a salesman.
His general manager asked him to try selling cars for 90 days and in his first month he sold 20 cars. He stayed in sales.
Volkswagens have a special place in his heart, he said.
Education's importance
Education remains the most important endeavor for Wilder.
He dropped out of high school as a sophomore to support his wife, Sally, who was pregnant. They have been married 44 years.
While washing dishes at a restaurant, Wilder realized that giving up on education was a mistake so he began night school and eventually finished his schooling.
"We made sacrifices to get me back to school," Wilder said.
"Anything that's worth having is worth working for."
He went on to graduate from Western Baptist College, now Corban College, in Salem, Ore.
Since buying the dealership, he's worked with his former college and other educational programs in varying roles and sponsorships.
His service to education led former governors to appoint him to the board of directors of Peninsula College at two separate times.
Wilder supports his full-time employees' children's education by paying for two years of tuition at Peninsula College.
"I'm a strong advocate of education. If you really want to be successful and get ahead, then there's nothing more important than a good education," Wilder said.
Floating ducks
Wilder's service and donations span his 33 years on the peninsula.
Notable is his 21 years giving a car or truck as top prize at Olympic Medical Foundation's Great Olympic Peninsula Duck Derby.
"I believe anything I can do to help the hospital grow is essential," Wilder said.
"(The foundation) buys some great equipment for the hospital, so we try to find a car or truck everyone would love to have."
He has been on the board of directors for the foundation, Olympic Kidney Foundation, Young Life and United Way.
Good Samaritan
Wilder Auto employees follow the Golden Rule, Wilder said.
"Honesty and integrity are the cornerstones of our business," he said.
Wilder and his wife found their Christian faith at age 17, and he served as a part-time youth pastor for middle and high school children afterward.
"My belief and faith has everything to do with how I run my business," Wilder said.
He made the decision early on not to brand Wilder Auto as a Christian organization because if the company made a mistake, then God would get the blame.
"Since I began my career in 1967, my one goal has been to improve our image and show customers who have a preconceived ideas about us that most dealers are men and women of integrity who care deeply about their customers and communities," he said.
Family affair
Wilder feels his family has been blessed on the peninsula.
His son Dan Wilder Jr., general manager, and daughter Tami Rose, customer and employee relations, remain active in the company and his three grandchildren were raised here.
"Our core belief as a family is that it's better to give than to receive," Wilder Sr. said.
"We believe that giving to our community is not optional but is a way to give back."
For about 85 employees, Wilder said he runs the company similarly to a family, despite its large size.
"You have to go to the core. Some run their business by intimidation of employees and fear of losing their jobs, and some - like us - want a family like atmosphere," he said.
The core
That attitude is what customers seem to respect and they have a similar devotion to the company.
"I have some customers who have bought 20 cars from me over the years," he said.
"If they aren't coming back, then we're dead."
Stressing the importance of customers, Wilder gave cards with "Not One" written on them to managers.
"We can't afford to lose any one customer," Wilder said.
"They can trust we'll take care of them for life. That's our goal."
Wilder, 61, expects to be about 90-percent retired in five years. He and his wife plan to travel and become more involved in local ministries.
His current role is advising his son and coaching the management team.
The future of Wilder Auto Group lies in a shifting market and technological world.
"We're always looking at how we can improve and update," Wilder said.
Currently managers are planning to build an express service center for oil changes, and Wilder won't rule out adding more automobile manufacturers to his lot.
The Deer Park sales lot is open 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturdays; closed Sundays. The service and parts departments are open 8 a.m.-
