Keep warm. Bring a small pot of water to a low boil, crack eggs and put in water one at a time, keeping water at high simmer/low boil. Cook until whites are set and yolks are at desired consistency, 3-5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and drain.While eggs cook, arrange 4 asparagus spears in fan pattern on each of 8 plates. Sprinkle each plate with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and then drizzle each with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Drape 1 slice prosciutto atop asparagus on each plate. Using small offset spatula, carefully remove eggs from pan and place 1 atop each slice prosciutto. Drizzle with remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with Pecorino cheese and spoon over Woodford Reserve Béarnaise sauce.
Fried Garlic Cheese Grits

Symbian Signed For Embedded SIS files
Currently, all embedded sis files must be signed independently before being embedded within the containing sis file which must then also be signed.
The new test criteria introduced on 5th January 2010 do not change this situation.
As stated elsewhere, it's a condition of using Express Signed that your submission can be chosen, for audit - though we accept that if you have divided your application into multiple .sis files it may not make sense to audit one of those files in isolation.
If your embedded .sis files cannot be tested in isolation, then you should make this clear in the readme.txt file which you include with your submission. You should tell us in readme.txt why your embedded .sis cannot be tested in isolation and make it clear to us what we need to do in order to get the other .sis files necessary to enable your submission to be tested.
Generally, if you have a containing .sis file, you should make available to us a version of the larger .sis file containing the same version of the embedded .sis which you submitted here.
If you are unsure how this may affect your submission, then you should contact the Symbian Signed team to discuss this further.

A grueling 91-lot contemporary art sale at Christie's last night paid off, bringing in a total of $247.6 million with premium included, within its pre-sale estimate of $226.5 million-$312.3 million.

Kepler graduate Chris Brennan prepared an overview article that gives a roundup of predictions made by astrologers about the outcome of the 2012 presidential election in the United States. The article doesn't just focus on the predicted outcome, but includes the techniques used. "The purpose of this exercise is so that we can go back after the election and have a discussion within the astrological community about which techniques worked, and which ones didn't." Read the article.
The daily countdown to the Presidential election has started in earnest. It's the season of prediction, so of course astrologers are feeling right at home. Since the Presidential Panel in May at UAC 2012 to the latest commentary in blogs, newsletters and the Huffington post, astrologers have used a wide variety of indicators to determine how the candidates will fare. Below I have highlighted a few of the more interesting columns that present a variety of techniques, from modern to ancient, Western to Vedic. Although most predict President Obama will win, no one thinks it is going to be an easy path.
-- by Joseph Crane.
An examination of the astrology of this Presidential campaign, using many difficult predictive techniques, is a complicated enterprise. Here are some of the things I have surmised from my investigation.
Obama and Romney do not like each other or even respect each other; in fact they drive each other a bit crazy. There's also sufficient Mars intruding on the first debate that it may be a rhetorical Armageddon. Expect an October surprise of some kind, one that will make Obama look bad, although his campaign will probably survive intact. Romney may wilt sometime before the end of the campaign, a victim of physical stress or exhaustion.

AURORA -The cause of a fire at the Carson Apartment Complex in Aurora is under investigation.
The fire was reported just before 5 a.m. Saturday morning. Crews arrived to find an apartment on the third floor of a building on fire. The Red Cross says more than 60 people have been displaced.
Evacuated residents like Jennifer Angstead say the flames spread very quickly.
"It was really hard to breathe. There was a lot of smoke and my eyes started burning. My main concern was just, get out of the building."
Angstead was in the apartment with her godson, mother, two brothers, sister and two cats at the time of the fire.
"The cats stayed in there. We didn't have enough time to grab any clothes, shoes, nothing."
The arson team is also investigating after neighbors say they saw something suspicious leading up to the fire.
"A lot of witnesses said there were a lot of drunk teenagers shooting off fireworks at our building"
Darin Almanza lives directly below the apartment that caught fire. He says the people who live there told him those fireworks are what sparked the flames.
"That's what woke them up. It was like an artillery show going off. Then they saw the colors," Almanza explains, "they looked out the window, saw another one coming in their direction and everything was already catching on fire."
Crews eventually let some residents back inside to grab what they could. Residents will likely not be allowed back in the building for a couple of days. The Red Cross was also at the complex helping displaced residents with everything from food, to shelter.
As the investigation continues, residents say they're glad no one was hurt and are happy for what they still have.
"It makes me appreciate life and what I have. It makes me appreciate my family."

Macy Wheeler was born four weeks ago. Ever since she was born, her father, Eddie, was snapping photos of his precious daughter.
With a face as cute as Macy, her father could not resist getting in on the action.
"We've been putting pictures up ever since she was born on Facebook," said Eddie Wheeler.
Thinking it would be a funny idea, Eddie decided to start taking 'selfies' with his daughter.
In each photo, Eddie tries to copy his daughter's facial expressions and snap a photo before it changes.
"Went to sleep that night and woke up and it was on the front page and all over the place," Eddie told NBC affiliate KTVB.
The photos have been viewed more than a half-million times in just the first 24-hours.Do you have a funny or adorable 'selfie'? We'd love to see it. Email email@example.com. Please include your name and a little bit about how the photo came to be.

Even if Vince Young hadn't dubbed the Eagles the "Dream Team," expectations were extremely high for the most active organization in free agency.
The Eagles then went on to fall far short of what most had expected. Considering how popular a Super Bowl pick the Eagles were, they finished the 2011 season as one of the more disappointing teams in recent memory.
With the parity in the NFL come surprise teams and disappointments each and every season. It's one of the reasons we have seen so many teams go from worst to first in their division in the past decade. It's also why so many of us want to toss away our preseason predictions come Week Four.
In 2010, it was the Chiefs who surprised us, and the Cowboys who laid an egg.
The PFW staff was polled regarding the three biggest disappointments and the three biggest surprises of the 2011 season. Here are the results:
1. Philadelphia Eagles — A 31-13 Week One win over the Rams was followed by a four-game losing streak, punctuated by a 31-24 loss to the Bills. The Eagles' run defense was brutal, Michael Vick missed time with injury, and off-field drama with DeSean Jackson marked the league's most disappointing team. A four-game winning streak to end the season spared them the indignity of a losing season but proved to be too little, too late, as the Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16.
2. San Diego Chargers — The thought was that this would be the season that Norv Turner's club finally would show up to start the season and not need a December rally to make the playoffs. Early on, it looked like that would be the case, as San Diego jumped out to a 4-1 start. But a six-game losing streak in the middle of the season, which included overtime losses to the Chiefs and Broncos, set the Chargers back. They rallied in December, like always, with three wins in a row before being eliminated from the AFC West race by losing to the Lions in Week 16.
3. Indianapolis Colts — The entire league knew that Peyton Manning was valuable, but nobody realized until this season how big of an impact No. 18 actually had on the Colts' success. The Colts, who, prior to this season, hadn't used a backup QB in meaningful action since before Manning was drafted in 1998, struggled to find a replacement. Their streak of nine consecutive playoff appearances ended with a thud, as they didn't win a game until Week 15 and earned the first overall pick in the '12 draft.
Others receiving votes: St. Louis Rams, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings.
1. San Francisco 49ers — Most figured with the combination of former Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh at the helm and career disappointment Alex Smith at quarterback, the 49ers were setting themselves up to finish with the NFL's worst record and a chance to draft Cardinal phenom Andrew Luck. Instead, the combination of Harbaugh and Smith — along with a punishing rushing attack, a physical defense and game-changing special teams — have turned the Niners into Super Bowl contenders.
2. Cincinnati Bengals — Carson Palmer held out. Chad Ochocinco was traded. Marvin Lewis seemed like a lame-duck head coach. All in all, it made perfect sense to have the Bengals ranked dead last in PFW's preseason power rankings. However, Cincinnati proved to be a surprise playoff contender, led by its top two 2011 draft choices: WR A.J. Green and QB Andy Dalton. Green is a Pro Bowler, and Dalton has been a great fit in the team's new West Coast offense.
3. Denver Broncos — Few batted an eye when the Broncos started the season with a 2-5 record. The team with the league's worst defense last season once again was having trouble stopping opponents, allowing more than 28 points per game through Week Eight. Then things changed, big time. From Weeks 9-14, the team allowed more than 28 points only once, and not surprisingly, the Broncos won all six games, moving them into first place in the AFC West. Inserting QB Tim Tebow into the lineup also played a factor, as the mobile lefty, along with RB Willis McGahee, sparked one of the NFL's top rushing attacks.
Others receiving votes: Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders.

Sir, Why can't [Europe] post better growth rates? This is a trick question, yes? Your flagship magazine has answered this question so many times I wonder if you're asking it yet again in some way reflects the same Euro-sclerosis affecting the economy. Inflexible labour markets, cradle-to-grave government-provided services, hostitility to free markets and entrepreneurs, the suddenly-discovered morbid demography, and a culture that doesn't merely ask for state control but *demands* it. In terms of government control of the economy, the EU has been aspiring to be a Soviet-Union-light for decades; why are you now so surprised about their collective dismal performance? I've been subscribing to The Economist for the better part of twenty years and nearly every quarter you predict that Europe's future GDP growth will outpace America's (or even Australia's) -- and are consistently wrong. I'd be grateful if in future you read your own analyses. Comment originally posted on November 15, 2006 5:52 PM
ECONOMIC growth slowed in the third quarter, coming in well below expecations. Does this mean Europe's demographic doom is already materialising?
Not quite. Growth is outpacing that of America for the first time in a long while; even better, domestic demand seems to be perking up, which will make Europe better able to survive an American downturn should one materialise.
Still, there's more than a bit of room for gloom. Europe should be in the strengthening phase of a recovery. Why can't it post better growth rates? In America, a 2% annualised rate has politicians and economists wringing their hands about a slowdown.

for my 6 year old granddaughter to say "gorgeous" about my new sunglasses on me, that says a lot ! i love then for the size and for the gradation of the lens! perfect for me !!
It is so nice to be able to read while wearing sunglasses and not have to remove them, put on the readers etc. These are elegant and fit well. Definitely recommend.
I have worn contacts/glasses all my life. I just recently started wearing readers along with my contacts. These glasses are great. I follow my high school son, who plays golf and baseball, so I am outside alot. These are perfect!!!! Great price and fast shipping!!
I purchased these to use at work because I work outdoors in a lawn and garden center and they are wonderful. They are very glamorous looking without looking like bi-focals. I have recommended to a friend.
I love these, they are big and stylish. Absolutely cannot live without my bifocal sunglasses. I wear contact lenses so they are great anytime, I can read when I am at the beach or see a map in the car. Deb Specs is the only place to buy these, the price is great and the shipping is FAST!

Girl Scouts Celebrate Seniors through the Adopt A Nursing Home Program
Although August 21 is National Senior Citizens Day, Girl Scouts celebrate their senior friends all year long through the Adopt A Nursing Home Program. Developed by the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) and the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) in 2002, the Adopt a Nursing Home patch program matches up interested Girl Scouts and troops with a local nursing home. Girls plan sing-a-longs and service projects, parties and plays for their senior friends.
It is estimated that up to 60 percent of Texas nursing home residents do not have regular visitors. San Jacinto Girl Scouts are doing their best to make a dent in this statistic. Since 2002, more than 1,800 of the Adopt a Nursing Home participation patches have been sold. There are second and third year rockers, or patch additions, for troops who continue to participate after the first year. More than 250 of the second year rocker and more than 40 of the third year rocker have been sold.
In 2007, GSSJC and other Texas Girl Scout councils partnered with Southwest Airlines and the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) Adopt A Nursing Home Program to host an essay contest where Girl Scouts captured the wonderful stories of the residents of long-term facilities. Girl Scouts who were currently registered with the DADS program and serving a nursing home facility were eligible to enter.
Woodlands resident Katherine R. of Troop #11061 was one of the state winners on the Junior level. Katherine wrote the following:
My Brownie Girl Scout Troop adopted Silverado Senior Living Center in The Woodlands, Texas. Silverado is a place for elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. I liked talking to the different residents. It was interesting to see how the residents perked up when my excited troop of 9-year-old girls showed up to do an activity with them. First, we had a meeting with the director and she explained how the residents would repeat questions, enjoy hugging us a lot, and how the residents need more and more help as the disease takes over in their bodies.
At Christmas time, our troop made all kinds of cookies to take to the residents. We all sang Christmas carols and jingled bells down the hallways when we first arrived. They all really enjoyed that! Then, the girls who knew how to play piano played, and everyone sang along if they knew the words. Many of the visitors even joined along!
On our third visit, we used our cookie sale profits to buy flowers to plant with the residents. Some of the residents helped plant the flowers outside and some weren't up to it, so they just helped water or watched. My favorite memory was getting to know my friend D. while we were planting flowers. D. knew a lot about planting gardens and she shared a lot of information about gardening. She told me stories about the lovely gardens at her home!

Remember Me
Motorcycles CollideWith CowsThree Delphos people, one young man and two young ladies, were injured when, east of Delphos on the Gomer road, the motorcycles on which they were riding, ran into a herd of cows and the riders were thrown off the machines.Six couples of Delphos young people were enjoying the evening riding about the country, when near the river on Gomer road, a herd of cows grazing along the highway, started to cross the road. Several of the machines struck the cows and the occupants were thrown off. Herbert Foust and Miss Irene O'Donnell sustained painful injuries. Foust's injuries were quite serious and he was brought to the office of Dr. Hartnagel in Delphos where he received attention. Miss Bertha Honigfort, who was riding on a machine with Wykoff Morton, was also injured, her left foot and hip were badly bruised. The other members of the party escaped uninjured. Foust's machine was badly damaged, the front wheel being wrecked.Delphos Herald,July 24, 1912
Prettiest Girl in Delphos"My niece," said a well-known man the other day, "is often called the prettiest girl in Delphos. I believe half the compliments she gets are due to her shirt waists. They are always as clean and dainty looking as a snowflake. She's mighty particular about them. She won't use the cheap ordinary rosin soaps for washings, but buys this 'Easy Task Soap,' you hear so much about. It seems that 'Easy Task Soap' just naturally goes after the dirt and doesn't eat into and rot the fabrics like the rosin soaps. It costs the same - a nickel a cake."Delphos Herald,July 24, 1912Lammers Left Big FortuneThe following, which appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer Friday, is of interest to Delphos people. Mrs. Mary Meyer, mentioned in the article, returned to Cincinnati, Thursday after a visit at the homes of Mrs. John Bunzhaf, of East Third street, and Mr. and Mrs. Casper Goebel and Otto and Louisa Stallkamp, of west of Delphos. Frank Lammers was a cousin of these people and has a number of other relatives residing in the vicinity of Delphos and Ft. Jennings.The Enquirer says: "Relatives of Frank Lammers, who disappeared from this locality more than 20 years ago, are making an effort to learn whether or not he is the J. Franklin Lammers who was reported killed in a snowslide in Alaska early in June of this year. An account of the death of J. Franklin Lammers was published in a Tacoma, Wash., dispatch. Mrs. Mary Meyer, of Parker street, Cincinnati, read the dispatch while visiting relatives in Delphos. "When she returned to Cincinnati yesterday, she conferred with her four sisters and determined to learn if the man killed in the Alaska snowslide was her missing brother. When Lammers left here he told his sisters that he would return to Ohio a rich man. He went to Detroit, Mich. and thence went west."The J. Franklin Lammers who was reported killed lived in California for some years. His fortune is estimated to be about $600,000. (This was in 1912, so could that be about $6,000,000 at today's rate? R.H.)Delphos Herald,July 26, 1912Delphos People BuyLand in FloridaW.H. McKenzie, who left Delphos last week for a trip to points in Florida and was accompanied by Mrs. McKenzie, Carl Roth, Isaac McKenzie, Mrs. Jennie Ward, Mrs. Frank Brown and Miss Elizabeth Roberts, all of this city, has forwarded a telegram to his son-in-law, Gurney Serrels, stating that he has purchased a 40-acre farm near West Palm Beach, Florida, adjoining a 40-acre tract purchased by Mr. Serrels while he was in Florida, last March.The telegram states that Miss Elizabeth Roberts and Mrs. Frank Brown have also purchased ten acres each. Mr. Brown already owns a ten acre tract in that locality. Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie, Mr. and Mrs. Serrels and children, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and several other Delphos people are contemplating going to Florida to reside and will erect homes on the farms they have purchased.Delphos Herald,July 23, 1912A Happy PartyA number of little folks gathered at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. John Vonderembse on South Franklin St. and had a good time in honor of little Miss Edna Wolke, of Covington, Ky., who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Vonderembse, her uncle and aunt. The little folks present were: Maggie and Flora Lindemann, Katie and Marie Lang, Mabel and Ethyl Jettinghoff, Nora and Mary Wahmhoff, Gert Herlihy, Virginia Gasson, Edna Wolke and Eddie Stallkamp.Delphos Herald,Nov. 1895

RICHLAND, Wash. - How much do you know about where your food comes from? There's a growing movement in the food industry to make sure you're not left in the dark.
Organizers said this is the first Farm-To-Table event in Eastern Washington and there are high hopes it won't be the last. The theme of the symposium was "Grow Local: Connecting Producers and the Rest of Us." The event featured discussions on things like marketing, networking and growing local.
"We're hoping that we can get people in our area to realize how much wonderful local food we have and what's produced right in the area where we live in and get a better understanding of the people behind that food so you also get to meet the people who grow your food, raise your food and bring it to the table," said NW Food Hub volunteer Dani Smart.
"We think it's very important for the sustainability of any culture to be able to live and eat... Well, eat where you live," said Daniel Salatin. "Those facts are very important and we think that they go hand in hand with economic development."
Daniel and Sheri Salatin were the keynote speakers. They run Polyface Farms in Virginia and are farm-famous for pioneering organic farming practices. The Salatins were featured in the book 'The Omnivore's Dilemma,' and the movie 'Food, Inc.'

Posted on 2011-03-15 11:49:35 bydanly:
Let me be clear: I haven't ever played Battle Isle 1, 2, or 3; I've only ever played Incubation and Incubation: The Wilderness Missions.
Incubation is an old favourite of mine. It's a core, detailed squad-combat game with a heavy focus on exploiting the puzzle-like environment to your advantage.
Each level is expertly crafted and woven together with a compelling story line. Between-missionread more game play features an accessible but powerful squad management interface, and a command & conquer style mission selection; wherein the benefits of your choice weigh heavily on equipment availability in future missions.
Multiplayer is an absolute blast. Once you've mastered the Single Player campaign jumping into MP is a rush. It's almost that Multiplayer X-Com we've always wanted, but never got.
Lay down the $10 for Incubation, you won't regret it.

Squee! Squee!
First, a shameful admission - I have not yet played the GOG version of these games, I am writing this, literally, two minutes after hitting the "BUY" button. My five star rating is for these classics being available for modern OS's.
These games may not be for you - if you don't like turn-based, data laden, old school wonky wargame nerd fare. But if you do, you'reread more in luck.
The first three, the actual Battle Isle games, are straight up, hex map, science fiction wargames. Think Star General, or an SF take on the Kampfgruppe, Steel Panthers, West Front, Panzer General, etc. Desperate strategic thinking and tactical implementation, but no clickfest time pressure. If you don't like old, old OLD graphics, you may want to just play the third one, Battle Isle Three - the first two have great gameplay, but they really are from a completely older world, art wise.
The second half of the love is for Incubation and its sequel / expansion, Wilderness Missions. This is pure low level tactical skirmishing, with Alien (the movie) inspired opponents. Good AI, tense, hard missions, great game mechanics. Think an updated (for late 90's definitions) version of the tactical part of X-Com, without the higher strategy wrapper. If it has a problem, it's that some of the scenarios are seriously, obnoxiously, evilly difficult, which will be a turn-off to some and an irresistable chhallenge to others.
GOG, you just made my week. Enjoy my ten bucks - you deserve it!

I dont care much about battle isle or history line, tried them back in the old days and didnt like them much.
But here´s the crown jewel of turn based tactical games: Incubation.
If you like turn-based, tactical games you will love this one. It does everything right, from the mood to the graphics, the sound and -especially- the gameplay. It is not, as some say, a very difficultread more game. Of course, if your squad rushes in, all guns blazing, your marines will be alien fodder. But if you use timing, the environement and the different weapons to your advantage, every mission is very doable. It has nice RPG elements, as you progress your gear gets better and the aliens bigger; it does have this "just one more mission" and suddenly its 3 am effect.
Just when i was seriously thinking about re-installing windows 98 to get this game running again from my original discs, GOG rereleases it. Huge Kudos to GOG!

Having recently read
http://www.elitefts.com/documents/sumo.htm, Brian Schwab says that:
I currently deadlift in a sumo stance, and this thought has never crossed my mind. I know that my feet are out more than my knee by two or three inches. Do any of you have any experience getting a better pull with your feet below your knees at the base of the pull?Dont stand wider than you can get your knees. If your feet are out too wide you lose some of your biomechanical advantage and leverage. You would think this is simple to figure out but why is it we see it at every meet we go to? The only thing I can think of is that these lifters have never seen themselves pull. Get your hands on a video camera and film your lifts. This is one of the best investments any lifter can make. In today's lifting age there is absolutely no reason for poor form and technique.
No, I just stand as wide as humanly possible. Sometimes I end up smacking my toes on the way down. Generally, I try and make my deadlift stance the same width as my squat stance. Maybe try different stances until you find one that works best for you.
I think that I have a wider deadlift stance than squat stance. My squat stance is about as wide as the powerrack allows me, but I probably get another inch or two on both sides without it. I'll give it a shot next time I pull.
Really? I pull sumo and definately don't go that wide....I'll have to try that next time. Does it give you more power? Or is it just because the distabce the bar has to travel is less?Originally Posted by TommyBoy
With a wider stance, the ROM is reduce but I feel as though when I go wide toes to the plates Im not as explosive and end up doing a stiff legged sumo deadlift! haha, but about 2-3 in from the inside of the plates and I can feel the explosiveness growing... Sumo is a big difference for me since my conventional deadlift involves me putting my feet less than 6 inches apart.

Thanks for letting us stay at the condo. Location was perfect. Close to the beach and just off of the busy roads. Just enough room for us and the 2 young children. The locals at the condo building were super friendly too. We had a rental car - but you wouldn't need one if you were just going to enjoy the beach and pool.

Sunset Cove Condos-a great place to stay
Review submitted: December 22, 2010 Date of arrival: November 19, 2010
Just finished a relaxing and wonderful month at Sunset Cove.The property is just south of the Blind Pass curve so traffic is very minimal due to Sunset Beach being a peninsula and a dead end.The units back up to the Intercoastal and it has a new dock with benches and a nice fish cleaning station with running water. We watched Dolphins swim in this bay and there is a small beachy area to keep a small boat tied up. Across the street is the Gulf Beach and access is quick and easy through a locked gate. The beach has been recently renourished with clean white sand and was never crowded. About a block or so to the north is Caddy's on the Beach.Great breakfasts and casual beach front setting along with good service and of course a great Sunset -limit 1 daily. Across the street is Ka Tiki's with a friendly and mature bar crowd. Live music almost nightly with Blues bands and rock n roll oldies. This is easy walking distance from the condos. The Condo property is well maintained by Mickey,a friendly guy who keeps the property in tiptop condition. The 1 bedroom units are compact but comfortable at about 480 sq.ft.,there are no elevators, and both buildings have washers and dryers. Pool is not heated and there is no hot tub.Nicely landscaped with tiki tables and nice seating poolside. Picnic tables and grills are at the dock/Intercoastal end and water quality was very good.Caught some nice fish off the dock. Made friends with several residents and felt very safe here.Both of us felt we got a great value for the price and we have decided it meets our needs and will stay here again. These units were snug on storage and a deck or attached patio would have been perfect but overall we loved this setting. If you have more than 3 people,it will be a squeeze.It is perfect for 2. We loved being between St Pete Beach and Treasure Island. Lots of great restaurants and shops in both directions. Favorite breakfast was Beverly's ,best food and drinks was Sea Hag's, best cheap dinner was Woody's Waterfront ,best earlybird dinners was Madfish and also Island way Grille in Clearwater beach. We had a great time here and so will you.

Student Association Lauds Instructors, Adviser
The Student Association of Anne Arundel Community College recently honored three members of the faculty and a student club adviser for their passion and dedication to students. Students presented 2010 Teaching Excellence Awards to:
- Kelly Hugo of Annapolis, assistant professor of health information technology, Rookie Professor of the Year award;
- Lisa Battle Singletary of Harwood, assistant professor of biology, Teaching Excellence Award for part-time faculty;
- Dimitra Tangires of Easton, instructor of architecture and interior design, Teaching Excellence Award for full-time faculty.
- Loretta Lawson Munsey of Annapolis, adviser for the student club BACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), Adviser of the Year award.
Hugo was cited for her "tireless commitment to excellence." She became coordinator of the new health information technology degree program in August 2009. Hugo used her extensive teaching and training experiences with several cutting-edge health information technology software companies and resources from her years in the field to develop the program's curriculum.
She organized and led certification exam prep sessions for students, helped the college program win accreditation and implemented a virtual lab that she integrated into the college's medical coding curriculum. Hugo also organized a community service outreach volunteer program to connect students with the Peoples Community Health Clinic to help prepare medical records for scanning into an electronic format.
Singletary was nominated for fostering a rich, open and inviting learning environment in her anatomy and physiology classes. She integrated a variety of learning tools to help students succeed with challenging material, including case studies and video demonstrations, while providing exceptional out-of-class assistance.
Tangires won praise for her teaching excellence as AACC's first full-time interior design faculty member. Also cited was her instrumental role in developing the interior design curriculum and course content, and, in the last year, in creating nine advanced courses for an interior design certificate. She also assisted with extensive changes in the interior design degree option and standardized course content taught by adjunct faculty.
As faculty adviser to the student chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers, she has helped them complete several show houses and community service projects, host statewide career days at AACC and submit awards to professional design competitions.
These winners were nominated by AACC students, faculty and staff members.

My 49 Cub with belly mower will run about 20 minutes,then lose all power. It may run at idle but sometimes doesn't have enough power to move with PTO off. I can get some power by chocking along with black smoke from exhaust. This has been happening all summer probably 15 to 20 times. Have tried many fixes but none seem to work. Does anyone out there have a possible diagnosis?
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Andy, If you'll list the fixes you've tried, it will make it easier to narrow down possible problems.
"We don't need to think more,
we need to think differently."
-Albert Einstein
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
First thought, coil breaking down. Magneto or battery powered ignition system?
Indicates fuel/carburetion system working.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Pull the main jet out of the side of the carb and make sure the holes are FULLY clean. They get varnish that builds up on them and small bits of crud plug them up but float away when the flow drops off. I catch flack for suggesting using a straight pin, but it is strong enough to wipe the gunk from inside the tiny holes. Since I did that on mine, my low power issues are far fewer and farther in between.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Hmmm 49 Cub, probably magneto. Probably ignition but could be fuel starvation albeit intermittent at that.
As ntrenn mentioned, check the main jet - especially the tiny longitudinal orifice. Do not use anything made of steel in that orifice. A nice piece of a single strand of twisted pair (telephone wire) will do the job perfectly without scratching or scoring the brass jet. Also check the needle and cage. Hold the empty cage up to the light - if it is kind of opaque then there is a bit of varnish in the cage which may be causing the problem.
Also, Eugene is correct as well. Sounds like ignition so check the coil. Make sure it is putting out a very bright blue spark. Also check the condition of the spark plug wires and ends/boots ensuring that all are good.
And of course if you let us know what you have done and what the results were that would be of help.

Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Black smoke is the primary indicator of unburned fuel, technically referred to as incomplete combustion.
There are only 2 causes.
One, too much fuel being delivered to the cylinders and the excess fuel that can't be burned is going up the stack in the form of black smoke, a carburation issue, or...
Two, ignition failing to burn the proper amount of fuel being delivered to the cylinders.
Troubleshoot your ignition system thoroughly before messing with the carb.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Thanks for ideas. As for fix attempts; New coil, wires, spark plugs, rotor, points ,condenser, clean fuel tank, sediment bowl, fuel line, carb (only blow out I'll try telephone wire) making sure gas cap breather hole isn't plugged, After each fix it runs fine so I think the problem has been found but after about 20 minutes of hard work it quits again! I wonder why the time factor as that would seem to coinside with the time needed for the engine to get warmed up. another fact:: The tractor was converted to 12 volts by a previous owner at least 20 years ago.
The black smoke only occurs when I overchoke to get the cub to get a little more power than idle.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
20 minute run time - common symptom of coil break down.
Heat related, electrical cause. Ballast resistor on/at ignition coil? Bad new ignition coil? Wrong ignition coil?
And another thought. When the engine starts to falter, check for battery voltage on the ballast resistor input side, voltage drop on output side and output voltage at both coil terminals. No ballast resistor, check for voltage at both coil terminals. Battery voltage at input terminal and voltage drop at output terminal.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
|Had a small mishap with cub , managed to hit rad with something and now must remove rad to get repared. Other problem at standstill for a couple of weeks.
Re: 49 CUB QUITS
Problem solved. New coil and the cub runs fine. The coil was new and was either faulty or not correct one. Anyway I cut 5 acres of grass this afternoon so I know it's working. Thanks for suggestions. n

Pours a deep, deep brown, virtually black color with a thin tan head comprised of very fine bubbles that stuck around for a while but surprisingly didn't leave much lacing on the glass. I like to think of this beer as a "pumped up Guinness" - they are very similar (makes sense, since they are both Irish stouts) but it seems like Uncle Steve's picks up some of the slack that a typical Guinness Draught has. The nose is bigger, the taste is bigger, and the mouth is creamier. Hints of coffee beans, deep and bitter mocha, and lots of roasted grains and malts hit your nose and your throat. The mouth is slightly chewy and quite a bit thicker than a Guinness.
Very solid Irish Stout here that I would definitely have again and again. In many places I've seen, the price of these is usually very comparable to the price of Guinness, and this beer outperforms in nearly every aspect.
EDIT: Update 3/10/2013
Enjoyed this one again for the first time this season, a week before St. Patty's Day. The nose is much better and fuller than I remember it being - lots of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet, dark chocolate notes. Very roasty taste, inducing a nice mix of bitter and sweet. Smooth, creamy, and finishing with some roasted malt and burnt coffee beans flavors. Dry, low carbonation.
Overall, a bit better than I remember it being. I could knock back six of these no problem. A tasty Irish style stout with a nice, bitter roast aroma and flavor.

From notes: Deep dark brown pour with eggshell head and some nice lacing. Aromas of roasted dark malts and a bit of smoke. Smooth. First sip is smooth with a mellow dark roast and some with a nuttiness. A bit dry with a touch of smoke. Easy to drink and well balanced. Medium bodied smooth and a bit dry. Overall, an interesting take on an irish stout, but I wouldn't expect less from Short's

S_Roasted barley and dark coffee. Hint of chocolate as well.
T_Roasted malt and coffee.Chocolate and hops in the finish. Finishes dry.

From notes
A - Pours black with barley one finger of head. Not much lacing.
S - Smell is primarily chocolate and roasted malts. Eventually some coffee notes come through as well. Simple but good aroma.
T - Taste is similar to smell, though with more of a coffee presence. Roasted malts and coffee, with some chocolate in the background.
M - Light/medium mouthfeel seems a bit over-carbonated for the style, lacking creaminess.
O - Flavor profile is nice, but the high carbonation reduces the overall enjoyment. Still pretty good though.

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a khaki head. The aroma is coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is coffee, roasted malt, bitter chocolate and some tartness. Tastes like this one is slightly infected like several other Short's beers I have tried. Medium mouthfeel and medium-high carbonation.
Short's makes some good beers but they are too hit and miss in the quality control department for me. If they can start putting out beers that aren't infected, they will move up in my book. I have another bottle of this that I received from TasteTester and hope that it isn't infected like this one was.

Picked this up from Tiffany's Party Store in Kalamazoo when doing a recent art show in the area.
Appearance- Pours an opaque black with about a half finger of brown head on top that almost immediately dies back to a ring around the edges.
Smell- Much more going on in the nose that I was initially expecting. Huge amount of rich roast, with a slight bit of bitter coffee and an almost earthy smell. Big smell for the style.
Taste- Starts off with rich and bitter roast, though in lesser amounts than the nose suggested. Some slightly strange, almost acrid flavors come in around mid palate as well. Almost reminds me of black olives. Finishes somewhat bitter and astringent.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Mouthfeel is decent for the style though a touch on the thin side. Drinkability is okay as well, but the finish was somewhat off putting in its astringency.
Overall, an decent Irish dry stout. Wasn't in love with this beer but worth a try if you are partial to the style.

A - Pours a thick, pitch black color with a chocolate looking head of about a half inch. Some retention and spotty lacing.
S - Very pleasant roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and some mellow booze in the back.
T - Delicious. Roast coffee, very faint caramel, toffee and chocolate.
M - Very creamy and smooth. Kinda messy, but still damn drinkable.
O - While not the best stout I've had, still pretty good for the money.

A: Pours pretty much pitch black. Shorter head on the pour. Little lacing.
S: Lots of roast, nice bitter aroma. Some light chocolate.
T/M: Lots of bitterness from the black patent. Lots and lots of roast. Some hops are mixed in there but definitely in the back. Body is medium with smooth carbonation.
D: Low ABV and pretty damn drinkable. A sold Irish Dry Stout.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Pours black with a 1 finger fairly bubbly khaki tan head. After a few minutes it dwindles to a thin covering, leaving a touch of lacing on the sides. Light just barely gets through the edges.
S: The aroma is a blend of milk stout and dry Irish stouts. Has a bit of lactic qualities as well as coffee. A touch of chocolate in the background.
T: Following the Irish stout style this is a mild flavored, easy drinking brew. Roasted malts pull through nicely and provide a bit of a coffee ground taste. A touch of alcohol shows up at the end. More sweetness comes out as it warms up.
M: Thin to medium body, average carbonation. A tad bit watery. Would like to try this through a nitro tap.
Overall not the most impressive beer but by no means bad. If you can get it on draft or a single bottle give it a go.

3.15/5 rDev -15.1%
A: Pours a dark brown, practically black color, with a thick one finger head upon pouring that quickly dissolves to a thin layer on top. The foam is rather dark tan/brown in color. Thin, but sticky lacing clings to the sides.
S: Lots of roast and some espresso/coffee. There is a hint of chocolate and some bitter hops.
T: Very roasty with coffee being the predominate flavor. There is a little bit of coffee and some biscuity malt.
M: Light to medium bodied, medium to high carbonation.
O: Not really a fan. It seemed a bit thin and I just didn't really like the flavor combination. Made well, just not for me.

Pours black with big initial beige foam, that tapers off to leaving some thick lace in the glass. Coffee astringency up front. Sourness on the back end, with sugar more at the end of the bottle. Dry aftertaste. Flavours going on, and that keeps me drinking for interest. Some anise. Big burping carbonation, yet this is 8 months aged. You sold it,I rate it and the sourness may be attributable to an oops infection batch, and it is more evident in the aromas at the end of the glass, along with roast.

This one's description calls it a "true textbook Irish Stout," and that's pretty much what it is. Pours darkest brown with a lasting one-finger light beige head.
Aroma is simple and good: roasty malts, coffee, and earth.
Flavor is also simple and well done, with a lot of coffee flavor and good smooth roastiness. A little earthy with a very mild hint of tartness that this style often exhibits.
Medium-light bodied with average carbonation. Just a tad watery, but I expect that from this style.
Drinkability is high. This is a pretty good beer overall.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours black, with a finger or so of creamy mocha colored head. This retains with a thin but frothy look, leaving back a thick foamy cascade that slowly creeps down the sides of the glass. The aroma smells of dry roast and coffee, with some chocolate and caramel adding some sweetness. Earthy character mixes in as well, giving this a hoppy tang in the nose.
The taste is cocoa and caramel, with some tart feeling fruity and citric character that leaves an earthy twang in the mouth. A light pithy bitterness is present here, while roasted malts finally show up in the finish with a dry and toasted feel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, being mellow yet still crisp on the palate. Some chewy slickness underneath adds a bit of a smooth heft to the presence of this.
Definitely a different take on an Irish Stout here, with the tart fruity tang of this really standing out. It wasn't necessarily unpleasant but just different, as the other aspects of this were mostly well done. I'm curious as to just how different this one ended up being in the bottle.

The Reasons We Give for Not Praying
April 08, 2010 Length: 11:31
In this episode, Jason talks about overcoming the obstacles to praying.
We know that prayer is important—we're even told to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17)—and yet we Christians tend to have a dark secret: we don't actually pray. For example, a recent study found that, while 90 percent of North Americans say they pray, only 37 percent do so at least once each day, and the average prayer lasts under five minutes. If we believe prayer should be an essential part of our lives, why do we not engage in this vital activity?
One reason people shy away from prayer is because we believe God is missing in our lives. An Orthodox writer describes the problem like this:
To know of God in the wisdom of the mind, this brings shimmers of peace and a foretaste of joy. Yet such joy is bounded, able to be swayed; for he who knows God's presence but in part, still is able to imagine His absence. One who sees God only in this place or in that, sees Him missing from those places in between. His joy is fleeting, for as in a moment it arises in the perception of God's presence, so it retreats in the illusion of His absence.
Metropolitan Anthony Bloom reminds us that God is never absent from us, but there is nonetheless "the sense of absence which we have. We stand before God and we shout into an empty sky, out of which there is no reply. We turn in all directions and He is not to be found."
We first must realize that God is never truly absent from His people. Holy Scripture contains numerous promises of God's presence (Exodus 33:14; Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5). Christ further promises, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Blessed Augustine therefore reminds Christians that Christ has "never withdrawn His glory."
At the same time, Augustine also notes that through evil we can leave the presence of God. Such people, as a direct result of their own decisions, "inhabit the land of commotion, that is, of carnal disquietude, instead of the enjoyment of God." At such times, according to Metropolitan Anthony, God may withhold His presence from us because "an encounter would be judgment and condemnation on us. We should learn to understand this absence and judge ourselves because we are not judged by God."
The full effect of separating ourselves from God through our sinfulness can best be understood in the context of relationship. Metropolitan Anthony explains:
If you look at the relationship in terms of mutual relationship, you will see that God could complain about us a great deal more than we about Him. We complain that He does not make Himself present to us for the few minutes we reserve for Him, but what about the twenty-three and a half hours during which God may be knocking at our door and we answer 'I am busy, I am sorry' or when we do not answer at all because we do not even hear the knock at the door of our heart, of our minds, of our conscience, of our life. So there is a situation in which we have no right to complain of the absence of God, because we are a great deal more absent than He ever is.
As you can see, the sense of God's absence can also be for our spiritual healing—God allows us to experience His absence to remind us to always pay attention to Him. He allows us to experience the temporary result of our natural tendency to separate ourselves from God so that we do not spend eternity experiencing such separation.
Distractions are a seemingly inevitable part of prayer for most of us; too often our prayers are like this, "Our Father…did I finish my homework…Who art in heaven…I could sure go for some pizza right now…" Many people allow the frustration of being unable to focus their attention in prayer to dissuade them from continuing to pray.
St. Theophan the Recluse comforts us with the fact that wandering thoughts during prayer are not in themselves a sin, "Thoughts wander when one is reading spiritual works and during prayer. What should one do? No one is free from this. There is no sin in it, only vexation…If thoughts scatter involuntarily, what fault can there be?" At the same time, we must also recognize that our failure to focus our attention on God shows our weakness and spiritual immaturity. Just as people understand when we are occasionally distracted while talking with them, but would resent our attention always wandering, so God will be displeased if we do not even try to pray without distraction. As St. Theophan states, "There is fault, though, when one notices thoughts wandering and, taking no action, one wanders along with them. When we catch our thoughts wandering off, we must bring them back to their proper place at once."
St. Ignatius Brianchaninov teaches that we can only develop the ability to remain focused in our prayer by relying on the grace of God: "The rapt attention which keeps prayer completely free from distraction and from irrelevant thoughts and images is a gift of God's grace. We evince a sincere desire to receive the gift of grace—the soul-saving gift of attention—by forcing ourselves to pray with attention whenever we pray." Notice that God will give us the ability to pray attentively—but only if we sincerely work at focusing our attention on our prayer. St. Ignatius concludes, "God can give (the mind) stability and will do so in His own time in return for perseverance and patience in the practice of prayer."
St. Ignatius gives us a useful tip for focusing our attention: "Specially helpful in holding the attention during prayer is an extremely unhurried pronunciation of the words of the prayer. Pronounce the words without hurrying so that the mind may quite easily stay enclosed in the words of the prayer, and not slip away from a single word. Say the words in an audible voice when you pray alone; this also helps to hold the attention."
Perhaps the most common reason for not praying is that we simply "do not feel like it." We intend to pray, but there always seems to be something more interesting to do, or we are too tired, or any of thousands of excuses. The problem, as Protestant professor Eugene Peterson puts it, is that "to pray by feelings is to be at the mercy of glands and weather and indigestion. And there is no mercy in them."
St. John of Kronstadt tells those of us who avoid prayer because we're disinclined, "People say that if you do not feel inclined to pray it is better not to pray; but this is crafty carnal sophistry. If you pray only when you are inclined to, you will cease praying altogether; this is what the flesh desires…You will not be able to work out your salvation without forcing yourself." St. Macarius the Great also inspires us to overcome our lack of desire to pray when he says, "One must force oneself to pray, even if one has no spiritual prayer…In such a case, God, seeing that a man earnestly is striving, pushing himself against the will of his heart, He grants him true prayer."
All of these obstacles to prayer—a sense of God's absence, distractions and lack of desire to pray—are all related to one central problem, which St. John says lies in the human heart, "Those who pray little are weak in heart, and thus, when they wish to pray, their hearts become enfeebled, and so do their hands, their bodies, their minds, and it is difficult for them to pray." The key, as we can see, is to keep praying. The more we pray, the easier and more helpful we will find prayer. It is important to be patient during this growth—St. Theophan says it may take months, or even years, for us to be able to peacefully focus our attention on our prayers.
Despite the amount of time and effort required to build up the spiritual discipline of prayer, St. Theophan reminds us that this process isn't an act of brute force with no reward; instead, "As the mind begins to stand firmly before God, it discovers such sweetness, that it wishes to remain in true prayer forever, desiring nothing more."
A significant way in which we can increase our desire to pray is by developing an attitude of true thankfulness for all the blessings provided to us by God. St. John the Solitary explains how we can develop gratitude in our prayer lives:
When evening comes, collect your thoughts and ponder over the entire course of the day: observe God's providential care for you; consider the grace He has wrought in you throughout the whole span of the day; consider the rising of the moon, the joy of daylight, all the hours and moments, the divisions of time, the sight of different colors, the beautiful adornment of creation, the course of the sun, the growth of your own stature, how your own person has ben protected; consider the blowing of the winds, the ripe and varied fruits, how the elements minister to your comfort, how you have been preserved from accidents, and all the other activities of grace. When you have pondered all this, wonder of God's love toward you will well up within you, and gratitude for His acts of grace will bubble up inside you.
