Flaming Gorge pipeline developer requests re-hearing
Wyco Power and Water Inc. wants the commission to grant it a re-hearing on a pipeline that would pump water from Wyoming to the Front Range, according to a document filed with the government agency Friday.
"Wyco respectfully requests that the commission grant re-hearing of the dismissal of preliminary permit application for the regional watershed supply project and to issue the preliminary permit for a term of 36 months," the company stated in the document.
After rejecting Wyco's application in February, the commission became the second federal agency to deny the Flaming Gorge Project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers terminated its review of the pipeline in July.
Environmentalists who oppose the project criticized the company's request for re-hearing. They contend the project would diminish Green River flows by 25 percent.
"The Flaming Gorge Pipeline is a fatally flawed concept that would devastate the Green and Colorado river ecosystems - we will fight it at every opportunity," said Gary Wockner, director of Save The Poudre.
The pipeline would help meet the water needs of Colorado, which faces a water supply shortfall of between 500,000 and 700,000 acre feet in the next two decades, Wyco principal Aaron Million has said. He contends the federal government will take steps to protect river flows for recreation as well as enhance fisheries.

UPDATE: Charlie Stevenson returns to the Xaverian sideline - 0 Comments
Xaverian football coach Charlie Stevenson told the Herald earlier this evening that he would return to the sideline this evening as the Hawks take on BC High in a crucial Catholic Conference showdown. A Xaverian win would make the top seed in the Division 1 South tournament, while BC High could get into the top two. Stevenson was hospitalized a week ago with an undisclosed illness and missed his team's 32-0 victory over Malden Catholic.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss hit a hole in one during a golf outing with President Obama Monday.
In a phone call late Monday night, the Senator told WALB News 10 that the White House called Friday to invite him to play with the President and Utah Democratic Senator Mark Udall at Joint Base Andrews where the President often plays on weekends. Chambliss invited Tennessee Republican Bob Corker to join them.
Chambliss said they briefly discussed some policy issues including the budget, Syria, and cyber security. But he said the gathering was more about enjoying golf together.
He says he's glad the President is doing more to reach out to members of Congress lately, though he wishes he had done it sooner. A few weeks ago, Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson organized a dinner at the White House with Pres. Obama and a dozen Republican Senators.
Chambliss' hole-in-one came on the 11th hole. He said the President was very gracious. Mr. Obama picked up his ball out of the hole and congratulated him and signed the flag from the 11th hole that the course presented to Chambliss.

The Wartime Faith of Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt
An excerpt from a speech by David M. Abshire at the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church
New York City, April 23, 2003
Full speech published in Vital Speeches of the Day
(Vol. 69, Issue 17, June 15, 2003)
My role tonight is to reflect on the story of three great American Presidents—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt—and what their faith in time of war might say to us today. Similarities in how each man dealt with the mystery of God in his faith and work while leading our country through its greatest wars makes these three Presidents especially compelling.
Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln made history moving forward. But as English historian C.V. Wedgwood notes, history is written backwards, while lived forward. Moving forward, the path is filled with ambiguities, calculations, and risks, especially when in the fog of war. When writing history backwards, these factors are frequently obscured and the way often seems easy and predetermined, since the fog of war has lifted
The day after Lincoln's inauguration, he was presented with the ultimatum on Fr. Sumter. This one-time three-week-long captain in the Black Hawk War, who had never fired a shot in combat, sat with his Cabinet members. They were against attempting to reinforce Sumter. They were backed by the hero of the Mexican War, General Winfield Scott. The green Captain Lincoln made the first move to save the Union by overriding the general and the Cabinet, and promptly ordered reinforcement.
Along with this decisive move, he made clear that this was a war waged to save the Union, not to emancipate slaves. The latter, as an immediate war objective, would have lost the Border States and the Democrats in the North, and indeed thereby lost the war. Frederick Douglas and many other abolitionists pilloried this author of the "Housed Divided" speech as duplicitous, hypocritical, and a moral relativist.
But as a great war leader, Lincoln knew the importance of timing, of mixing realism with idealism, and of the danger of a moral absolute taken out of context. Brilliantly timed, after the 1862 victory of Antietam, he could safely move toward emancipation, recruit 180,000 black troops in the process, and also win over Europe from the Confederacy. He had moved from saving the Union to freeing the slaves, and indeed had prepared the way to what has aptly been called the Second American Revolution by Professor James McPherson.
It took faith to negotiate these narrow and perilous passages. Unlike President McKinley, who felt he had a direct message from God to go to war with Spain, Lincoln never assumed he was in lock step with God, nor that the Almighty divinely directed all he did. Rather, he was a constant inquirer and aware of his fallibility. His second inaugural address is filled with the subjective, "If God wills . . ." Both sides, he noted, read the same Bible and the prayers of both would not be answered fully, for the Almighty has his own purposes. Lincoln, who was a true genius in so many ways, never confused himself with the Almighty.
George Washington. If Lincoln saved the country once, Washington did so three times: in the Revolutionary War, at the Constitutional Convention, and as President. Unlike Lincoln, Washington was not a genius and he made some bad mistakes. But he learned from them.
As a young 21-year-old Lt. Colonel in the colonial forces, Washington constantly bickered with Governor Dinwiddie over his pay not being equal to that of British regulars. He had been a hotshot surveyor before that and had made good money. He, to be frank, had become something of a horse's ass.
He was sent on a mission toward modern-day Pittsburgh, encamped in the mountains at a vulnerable place called Great Meadows, and built "Ft. Necessity." He was surprised and forced to surrender to the French and Indians, and subsequently was written up in the Times of London as a disgrace to the colonial service. A cocky Washington learned from this devastating experience, not only a new modesty, but also a new unconventional way of warfare. Later, fighting General Braddock, he survived showers of bullets, and someway felt he must be under the "miraculous care of Providence" as bullets tore his clothes and killed the horses under him.
More than three decades later, when this same yet quite different Washington took command of the Continental Army, the one who had argued with Governor Dinwiddie over adequate pay refused to take any pay whatsoever. He was a good horseman and a superb tactical field-commander, but was never a brilliant strategist. He had a rough ride as a commander who lost more battles than he won when only one-third of the Americans enthusiastically supported the war. And yet the losing general who won the war had an extraordinary bulwark of character in a world he believed to be designed by Providence. This same bulwark of character saved the Constitutional Convention, which produced a Constitution in which the powers of the Presidency were described with Washington in mind.
Living history forward, the writers of the final draft of the Constitution considered it an imperfect document. Writing history backwards, it was considered the "Miracle at Philadelphia," as Catherine Drinker Bowen labeled her book. Like Lincoln, Washington believed that America "was the last best hope." Washington believed that the American experiment was exceptional. "The eyes of the world" were upon us and we found ourselves in a "time to establish or ruin . . . our national character forever." Lincoln believed we were "God's almost chosen people." Washington said, "Heaven crowned" this nation.
Washington, while an Anglican and a vestryman, spent time as President talking to different religious groups, from the Baptists to the Jews of the synagogues of Rhode Island. He understood that it was the freedom of religion in America that protected a very religious America. His was the achievement of protecting diversity in the American experiment. He believed a religious America was essential to good governance, and protection of religious diversity was essential to maintain a religious America.
What especially marked Washington, man of faith and humility, was how he freely let go of power. As Professor Gordon Wood has written, this "stunned the world." After the war, the commander-in-chief turned in his sword to Congress. He turned back the invitation to be a Cromwell when the chance arose at the Newberg Conspiracy, and he refused to run for a third term as President. Self-restraint and self-denial were part of his faith.
Franklin Roosevelt. F.D. Roosevelt was called "Feather Duster" Roosevelt by some detractor students at Harvard. The young patrician from the Hudson Valley may have too-obviously felt that he was headed for the top—with his handsome bearing, athletic figure, and large ambition—to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, to the White House itself. But when polio struck him down in 1921, that career seemed washed up; Presidential ambitions were ended. He became "Daddy of the Dead Legs," as young Jimmy Roosevelt said.
Amazingly, stranger than fiction, the Daddy of the Dead Legs led us through the Great Depression and the Second World War, all from a wheel chair the public scarcely acknowledged. Thus, this triumphant cripple could credibly say to a crippled America in 1933, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." I think every Roosevelt biographer would admit that it was his great tragedy that gave birth to great triumph. FDR, like Washington, believed that Providence acted in mysterious ways.
Besides his polio attack, Roosevelt's greatest stress and depression came at the end of 1940 as he alarmingly watched Hitler's gains. As the leader of an unconcerned and isolationist America, Roosevelt felt suddenly like a political cripple as he painfully recalled how Woodrow Wilson had miserably failed with the Versailles Treaty ratification because he lacked the Congressional and popular support. To make matters worse, FDR received in December 1940 a message, known as the "long letter," from Winston Churchill stating that the UK couldn't last. Roosevelt did an emotional retreat for days, emerging only after a political epiphany produced a scheme for America to become the "arsenal of democracy." He clearly argued for the isolationists "to keep us out of the war" through the Lend-Lease Act. Washington and Lincoln saved America. Roosevelt saved Great Britain.
How did the cripple do it? Certainly, a dogged characteristic in his rehabilitation from polio was his intense Christian faith. He believed in a divine design, but like Lincoln did not believe he was so anointed as to be in lock step with God. He understood the mysteries of that design. Unlike Lincoln, he was a very conventional Episcopal Church member and he often said that the United States was a "Christian nation," hardly politically correct today. He believed almost playfully that the Lord would occasionally make small things happen to encourage him forward and build hope.
He, like Washington and Lincoln, believed the world depended upon us. As he said in his final inaugural address, "The Almighty has blessed our land in many ways. He has given our people stout hearts and strong arms. . . He has given to our country a faith that has become the hope of all peoples in an anguished world. So we pray to Him now for a vision to see our way." With mighty allies led by America and the war moving in our favor, he humbly noted that we had to be citizens of the world, "members of the human community" and, quoting Emerson, stated, "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
Transformational Leaders. All three leaders had humility in many ways. Roosevelt, the cripple, was the most egotistical, but still humble in his relationship with his God. All three leaders held a sense of awe over the "outer circle," which some call pure chance—where they did not control events—as contrasted to the "small circle" of their free will. Looking back like the historian, each retroactively delegated to God's goodness, not to themselves, the good things of the past and the great victories they had achieved.
From a historical and secular perspective, that "inner circle" of their free will and judgment was much bigger than they suspected. I cannot imagine an American figure other than Washington saving this country in the Revolutionary War, an American other than Lincoln saving the Union, or an American other than Roosevelt saving England and sustaining America so well through depression and war. Each believed in his oath to serve "to the best of my abilities." Their failures—Washington's defeats, Lincoln's setbacks, and Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor blunder—were on God's shoulders and beyond the best of their abilities. Still, in retrospect and despite their protests to the contrary, they were not only actors, but transformational Presidents moving far beyond their greatest expectations.

Joe Miller lives on the streets of Portland, Maine. He has been without housing since 2007, and restricted to a wheelchair since 2002. He is transgender: though born a male he feels more like a woman. When time and energy allow he dresses in women's clothing. Somedays he's a combination of a long-haired lady and a rough bearded man all in one wheelchair-bound body.
Joe was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his youth, and still struggles with it in adulthood. Medical care is one of his top priorities with weekly chiropractic appointments and regular doctor's visits, but he expresses that it is more difficult for him to seek psychiatric care.
In the meantime, he is able to ignore the voices he hears in his head that call his name in a gruff whisper, and passes the time wheeling from place to place in Portland, crocheting bikinis, drinking coffee, drawing portraits and trying to make all his doctor's appointments.

After a four year hiatus, Corrosion is back and sounding better than ever. Let's not get caught up in the "Who sounds like who" debate. COC has their own very distinctive, very heavy sound that many bands have tried to imitate, and failed. Pepper Keenan is one of the most gifted frontmen in rock music today, and has been since he took over COC's reigns for good on Deliverance. This album shows a more melodic side of COC, as evidenced on the brilliant track "Stare Too Long." Don't worry COC fans, the bone-shattering metal is still there, as seen on "Over Me," and "Sleeping Martyr." Though not as instantly likable as Wiseblood and Deliverance, Volume Dealer packs a punch, though it may take a couple of listens to fully appreciate it. The high point is the Skynyrd-ish "Stare Too Long," which shows the true range of these great musicians, and (hopefully) might be a sign of what's to come from COC.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
It's great to hear from these guys, back in the studio and touring again….4 years was too long for the fans who've been around for over a decade and have seen CoC transform and streamline down to the core members. No, this isn't a rehash of Technocracy or Blind and sure isn't a sell out like so many other bands who bridged the 80's and 90's…it's a great progression that just adds to that thick-as-a-slab, mainlined-whiskey with marlboros sound that they've perfected. Good luck to Reed Mullin & a quick recovery from surgery. Can't wait to see you back on stage with Pepper, Mike, and Woody… The Mule Rocks! So doesn't this CD..so buy it!! Hell–buy all their CD's…these guys deserve the royalties — they influenced most of the bands that people consider "heavy" today.
4 years after the dissapointing 'Wiseblood' and 6 since the release of the masterpiece 'Deliverance', COC presents us with "America's Volume Dealer', arguably the band's best work to date.'Over Me', the opening cut, just grabs you by the guts from the very first riff. And from the Skynyrdesque 'Stare too long' to the crunchy 'Take what you want' the band exhales naturally what lacks on most bands today (king's x aside): honesty and feeling.More good news: the guys have defenitely abandoned the political [stuff] on their lyrics, wich are again superb. This might be a reflection of the band's maturity, when you realize that the best way to change the world is to change yourself ('if i stare too long, i might not see you right').And if that wasn't still enough, the production's so fine that it has stabilshed new quality patterns for my ears.Easily, 2000's best release. … .
I've heard about "COC" for so long, I finally decided to get an album. Though this is good, I expected them to be heavier. This sounds like "Metallica/Nickelback", and I was hoping for "Kyuss/Soundgarden". Maybe it's just this album, and not them. But still, this is good, and it does qualify as metal/hard rock. Big fans probably should pick this up, newcomers might want to get one of their other albums, I suspect they might be better. I just wish the music was as cool as the album title and cover.
I can understand a bit why some people are calling C.O.C. sell outs, but then again sometimes I think those people saying that are insane. Corrosion of Conformity have and never will sell out for any reason, and while "America's Volume Dealer" isn't C.O.C.'s best work by any means, it is also not a bad album by any means either. They still have they're southern fried groove on "Zippo", "Doublewide", "Diablo Blvd.", and "Congratulations Song", but other tracks like "Gittin' It On" and "Take What You Want" sound a bit like filler material. "Stare Too Long" is the album highlight here, which guest stars Warren Haynes from Gov't Mule. The bottom line here is that C.O.C. still rocks and still kicks it, it is a shame however that they hardly get the recognition they deserve. If you just started getting into C.O.C. or want to, start with "Deliverance" and "Wiseblood" if you like groove oriented heavy music, or you can go with they're older "Blind" for a much more heavier experience, then you can make your own decision with "America's Volume Dealer".

First, a little about us. We are in our mid-30's and this was our 4th cruise. We tend to be active and enjoy cruising most for the ability to meet new people, try new things and be active participants in the fun, rather than passive observers.
The Ship - Voyager is a beautiful ship and it is very intuitive and easy to navigate through and among the various public areas. Yes, she is showing her age a bit but we also noticed throughout the cruise that the crew was constantly working to keep her clean, conducting maintenance and performing upkeep. The Royal Promenade is an awesome design feature and we also enjoyed the little touches and flair of the various bar and show venues. They were classy and well themed, not as loud (looking at you Carnival) or as spartan (Norwegian) as other lines we have sailed on.
The Room - We had a Promenade view interior stateroom. The room was a little smaller than some interior staterooms we have seen on other lines but there was plenty of storage. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It would be nice if RCI would upgrade to flat screen TV's in the staterooms. We liked the promenade view window, as it was fun to watch what was going on below. It was also amazing how little noise crept in from outside. However, we would probably opt for a balcony room on our next RCI cruise, as that room class appeared bigger and better appointed.
The Food - We ate all of our dinner meals in the main dining room and our other meals in Windjammer. We also tried Johnny Rockets for lunch one afternoon. We found the selection of food in Windjammer to be good and also thought that the quality was pretty good as well. Try the omelet station in the morning and they also have a great pasta station for lunch. Seating was plentiful. Also, for a late night snack, there is a cafe on the Royal Promenade which has pizza, sandwiches and dessert items. We enjoyed the milk and cookies on the way back to the room after attending various shows and events. The main dining room food was good but not the best we have experienced on cruises. We liked the beef and seafood dishes but found the lamb very fatty and the chicken dishes a little dry. Don't expect 5-star restaurant food (which, of course, you are not really paying for anyway) and you won't be disappointed. We loved Johnny Rockets. You need to try one of their milkshakes and sit inside, where they put on a little show every half-hour or so.
The Service - It is this aspect of the cruise that puts RCI head and shoulders above the rest. Each and every crew member we came across was friendly, welcoming and willing to do anything to improve the guest experience. These were employees who looked like they actually liked their jobs and loved interacting with guests. For main dining room seating, everyone should request waiter Javier, who was funny, attentive and always looking for ways to make your dining experience better. It's crew members like Javier that will keep people coming back to RCI. We also were very impressed with our stateroom attendant Angella (Room 8603) who had an infectious laugh and smile and gave us tips regarding the ship and excursions in Jamaica. I know some people are of the opinion that a stateroom attendant should be neither seen or heard. But we loved and appreciated the hard work and personality of our attendant.
The Entertainment - This is also an area that RCI really outshines the competition. There is more to see and experience than you will ever have time to do on a 7-day cruise. Can't miss items include the ice show and The Quest. We also had the pleasure of seeing two great comedians and an amazing Mo-Town singing group. The audience interactive shows and events were always high energy and fun. We didn't get to see the second production show because of technical issues, but thought that the production cast had more talent and energy than we expected to see on a cruise ship. Cruise Director Mike was funny, natural and engaging and I hope that RCI is paying him well because he also is a huge part of what makes the Voyager fun and entertaining. Also don't forget to check out Derek in the Pig&Whistle and anywhere the Utley band is playing.
Fellow Passengers - Ok, so I am a former Texan so I may be biased, but I think that Galveston is undersold as a embarkation port destination. It is a cool beach town and very organized port. Also, the majority of the passengers were Texans, which ensured that your fellow passengers tended to be very friendly and outgoing. The audience interactive shows and events were the best we had ever seen, owing mostly to guests who were never afraid to put themselves out there and, in some cases, drop their drawers in the name of fun :)
Conclusion - Great service, varied and fun entertainment, exciting ports of call and newly made friends really highlighted this cruise as one of our best vacation experiences we have ever had! We plan on sailing RCI again next year and certainly would love to travel on Voyager.

The Herald Bulletin
ALEXANDRIA, Ind. —
Everybody has their favorite fair food.
The elephant ear that's like no other you've had. Anywhere.
A lemon shake-up with the perfect balance of sweet and tart, the one that's so perfectly refreshing you wish it came out of the faucet.
Melt-in-your-mouth pork tenderloins as big as your head.
And you look forward to them all year long.
Once you're out on the midway, though, it's also fun to search out what's new, different, delicious and fun.
The F.A.B. LAB is all of those.
Food And Beverage Lab is the long version of Stacie Cowgill's ice cream truck, which is making its world debut this week at the Madison County 4-H Fair.
We know what your'e thinking. It's just an ice cream truck. How new, how different could it possibly be?
Well, it's the only ice cream truck you'll likely find anywhere nearby with a huge nitrogen tank nestled in one corner. That's different.
It's ice cream. Automatically delicious.
Cowgill uses the nitrogen to instantly freeze the ice cream mix. Different, and fun; even educational in a scientific kind of way.
Instant freezing with nitrogen — minus 320 degrees — makes the ice cream smoother and creamier. But don't take our word. Conduct your own taste test.
"I've been doing research for about three years, and I wanted something completely different," said Cowgill, of Anderson. "This is what I settled on and it's working great.
"I was a store manager in retail. I wanted to own my own business and that's how we started," she added.
Cowgill may need a bigger truck, however. After just two days, her nitrogen supply was gone by 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, which meant a drive to Praxair in Speedway early today for more.
Also new this year, is Jeff and Leah Green's "The Big Easy" food truck.
Leah Green was raised in Oak Grove, La., a state known for its flavorful, spicy cuisine; where favorite family recipes are handed down from one generation to another. The couple has been catering their New Orleans style food for the last eight years.
What you'll find at The Big Easy, are such Cajun favorites as red beans and rice, po-boy sandwiches, Jambalaya and beignets.
The couple has toyed with the idea of opening a restaurant over the years, but settled on the food truck instead because it allows them to make the food they love to serve and eat at family gatherings, yet still have a life.
Jeff works for FedEx in Muncie; Leah works at the Children's Bureau.
"I think this is coming back," Leah said of food trucks, "because it's way to expensive to run a restaurant."
Added Jeff: "We run this, it doesn't run us."

CHICAGO, Ill. -- More action Friday in the continuing debate to modify Illinois gun laws.
First, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an appeal of the ruling that said Illinois has to create concealed carry legislation. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan had requested a hearing by the full nine-member court of appeals.
In December a three-member panel of the judges ruled that the state had 180 days to come up with a law permitting concealed carry.
Lisa Madigan could take the question of concealed carry all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court but Illinois is the only state in the union without such a law.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Madigan, the Attorney General's father, announced that next Tuesday, the Illinois House will meet to discuss "gun safety and unlawful use of weapons". A concealed carry proposal is among the items to be discussed.

Well, for the past 4 weeks or so my sternum area has been killing me when I make certain movements. Pull ups are painful, laying on my chest is painful, sneezing is very painful. It also hurts when removing the bar from the rack during bench press. Decline bench is painful all the way through. Ive noticed when i stretch my back out and arch it out really high my sternum will pop. It would do this before the injury, but i dont know if this is normal or not. The first time it really hurt was when i was getting up from my chair, i was kinda thrusting myself out of the chair with my arms.
Has anyone experienced this, or know what this might be?
I plan on going to see a doctor.... but i have to motivate myself to do that!
I have experienced that. In fact I still get a sharp pain on dips. I've had the popping issue in the most recent past.
Take some time off from the gym and see what happens. If it doesn't get better then see a doc.
time off = hell
i knew thats what the response was going to be.... i SOOO dont want to do it tho!

The New Nook Get's a Little Nook in B&N Stores
Amazon is going for Apples throat with it's soon to be released Kindle Fire, and it seems B&N wants a piece of the action. In almost immediate reaction to Amazon's Kindle Fire, Barnes and Noble have announced a new tablet like E-reader called, quite creatively, the Nook Tablet (I know, it must have taken them hours to think of that name). jokes aside, it's an impressive package with a 7 inch 1080p display, 11.5 hours of battery life, 16GB of built-in memory, which can expand with an SD card. It also will offer, out of the box, Netflix and Hulu Plus support, giving it a step ahead of Amazon's Kindle. It has a better display, more RAM, more on-board memory, slightly lighter and it has free support with any Nook station in any Barnes and Noble. At just $250, $50 more than the Amazon Kindle Fire, it's an enticing package which will also have Android OS support.
Although it is an impressive package, the amazon Kindle Fire is still $50 cheaper… Well B&N has one big advantage to the online store giant, physical locations. If you have a problem with your Kindle Fire you have to contact an online representative on Amazon (a very impressive and celebrated support team already) but that also means a replacement can take a few days, if not more. While with the Nook you can walk into any B&N store and get hands on support immediately. B&N realized this and actually upgraded many of their Nook… nooks, and added more support, more people to take on that support and more demos for customers to try out. The Holiday season is right around the corner, or already here if department stores have anything to say about it, and the tablet wars are just beginning.
Tablets have always been an odd device. They weren't powerful enough to be a good PC, and not useful enough to warrant a purchase. But now that has all changed. Prices are beginning to drop, accessibility is beginning to rise and the devices usefulness is skyrocketing. Tablets can now be linked into a network, making businesses run smoother as everyone has easy communication and business information in their hands. All tablets needed was to be a bit smaller and less expensive, that time is now. So who will come out on top? The B&N Nook? The Amazon Kindle Fire? Or the more expensive iPad? Lets find out after this holiday season!
If you have a tablet and are looking into buying a new one, you can trade your old tablet in for cash at www.thebluedot.net/tradein and put that cash towards one of the new upcoming tablets!

We got a link from Pro Football Talk. Yeah, we're sort of a big deal.
The NFL wanted the Williams Wall case moved back to federal court. Today, they got pimp-slapped for their ignorance.
Pro Football Talk thinks that Michael Vick would be an upgrade to the Vikings' current QB situation. Is he correct? (Hint: No)
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/28/vikings-win-nfc-north/#comment-173300 Yes, my awesomeness is now, apparently, such that I've merited my own doppleganger/troll on the Pro Football Talk...
Hmmmmm. . .maybe this is why nobody from the current case has been suspended yet. And, say. . .didn't I speculate something like this weeks ago? *pats self on back*
Given recent events, it appears that Viking fans should be happy that Brett Favre didn't get to be a Minnesota Viking.
Something that a lot of people would be well-served to heed.
Note the question mark there. I'm just going off of different reports, including Pro Football Talk. Well, if nothing else. . .at least the ESPN broadcast team will have something to talk about...

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pennsylvania's Smedley Darlington Dutler is the only person to receive two Medals of Honor for combat action in two different wars. For heroic service during WWII 26 Pennsylvanians received the MOH; while the number for the Korean War and Vietnam War are 8 and 9, respectively. One PA veteran received the Medal for Combat Action in Somalia and the state's most recent recipient served in Iraq. According to VA statistics, Pennsylvania had 964,000 veterans on September 30, 2010 of which 708,200 served during wartime—the largest group being Vietnam War veterans (320,400). The number of women veterans increased to 63,600. Of the state's total veteran population 15,450 were over the age of 90, 149,000 were between 80-89 and 205,800 were between 70-79.

Thai curry paste can vary from fairly mild to very hot, depending on the brand. If you're using an authentic Thai brand, add 1 tsp first, then add more to taste.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, then add the curry paste. Stir in the onion, then cook gently for about 5 mins until softened. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, then add the salmon chunks and beans.
- Leave to gently simmer for 5 mins until the fish flakes easily and the beans are tender. Scatter with the coriander or basil, and serve with plain rice.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, September 2007
Comments, questions and tips
This dish is ok. As many reviewers have said it is a bit bland for what is described as a 'thai curry'. On my second attempt I seasoned the fish with more vigour, and added ginger and lime juice as many others have suggested. With this amendment its worth 4 stars especially given how quick it is to make.
Made this on Wednesday. It was super easy and quick. I should have seasoned it more as it was a bit bland. Will definitely make again and add fish sauce, lime, chilli, spring onions and palm sugar as suggested by someone in the comments below. The beans were squeaky so will add them earlier and probably more veg.
Not good if you are used to eating good thai food - this was dull even with a red thai paste that I swear by. This dish needs some fish sauce, lime, chilli, spring onions and a dash of palm sugar to lift it and add some depth of flavour. Seeing as these ingredients take moments to add to a dish but will make it a million times better I'm amazed they've been left off the recipe.
Very tasty!
I used Tesco Thai Red Curry Paste.
I softened the onion in the oil first, then added the paste and cooked for a few minutes more. After adding the green beans to the coconut milk I cooked gently until the beans were just cooked. Then at the end I added the salmon chunks and cooked until they were just barely cooked.
I felt that if I'd followed the recipe the beans would have been hardly cooked at all.

A prolonged, ongoing Gmail outage has some Google Apps administrators pulling their hair out as their end users, including high-ranking executives, complain loudly while they wait for service to be restored.
At around 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Google announced in the official Google Apps discussion forum that the company was aware of a problem preventing Gmail users from logging into their accounts and that it expected a solution by 9 p.m. on Thursday.
[ Keep up on the latest tech news headlines at InfoWorld News, or subscribe to the Today's Headlines newsletter. ]
Google offered no explanation as to what is causing the problem nor as to why it will take the company so long to solve the problem, which manifests itself by giving Gmail users a "502" error when trying to access their e-mail accounts.
Although Google said the bug is affecting "a small number of users," that is little comfort for Google Apps administrators who are fielding angry complaints from end-users.
An administrator identified as Bill W. posted a desperate message on the forum Thursday morning, saying his company's CEO is steaming about being locked out of his e-mail account since around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
"Support keeps telling me it is affecting a small number of users. This is not a temporary problem if it
lasts this long. It is frustrating to not be able to expedite these issues. I have to speak with the boss again and he's po'd (pissed off). This is considered a mission critical issue here. We may have to make other arrangements. Apparently Google mail is not very reliable. I think I would have pushed for something else before we switched if I had known the level of unreliability," he wrote.
Another administrator identified as Techlinks wrote: "This outage has hit us pretty hard and we've been out of email for 24 hours and now business is suffering."
Google Apps is a suite of hosted collaboration and communication software and services designed for workplace use. Its Premier edition costs $50 per user per year and includes a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee for the Gmail service.
In August, Gmail had three significant outages that affected not only individual consumers of the free Webmail service but also paying Google Apps Premier customers. As a result, Google decided to extend a credit to all Apps Premier customers and vowed to improve its problem-notification methods.

Darren Sproles continued to be a dual-threat option for fantasy owners and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night. With the end of the game against the Colts coming, Sproles had 82 rushing yards on 10 carries and a touchdown run of 16 yards. He also grabbed six passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. His role might expand should Mark Ingram's ankle injury prove troublesome over the next week.
Sproles has been a Reggie Bush-esque fleet receiving back in to New Orleans' deep offensive arsenal. He had five catches and 40 receiving yards in every game of this season leading up to Week 7, and was averaging 33.5 yards per game entering the Saints' game against the Colts.

I was having neck pain and numbness in my upper extremities caused by degenerative arthritis in my cervical spine. The KneezUp Leg Wedge has helped to improve my lower back alignment during sleep. I am no longer feeling the numbness upon waking; and the neck pain has decreased as well.
Posted by Reginald on 21st May 2013
Once again Contour products fail to accommodate taller customers. This product worked well but was too short. It needs to be at least 4 inches longer. One leg kept falling off the end. They should try it with taller people.

Great little table
Jane Smith from Franklin, TN– Verified Buyer
Legs were time consuming to put on as there are two big bolts for each leg and a very small wrench. Used my own, more substantial wrench which made the job a little easier. This table will NEVER come apart though and is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy...perfect for little boys !
Beautiful and great quality
Vilma Rodriguez from Eagle, ID– Verified Buyer
Very sturdy. I use it for my one year old as a working space. It is still a little tall for him but should be great by hte end of the Summer.
A sturdy, great table~
Laraine Ely from Guide Rock, NE– Verified Buyer
I bought this table for my two grandsons to use when they come to my house. It is a beautiful table! Very sturdy. I did put a coat of varnish on top to protect it even more, especially since my grandsons like to color with markers. They ate at it when we had our family barbeque and it worked great! It is large enough that they can set up fences with toy animals in them and have a little zoo. Love it!
Sonji from Sheridan, AR– Verified Buyer
I was very Pleased with This Product!
Love it
Renee from Greenville, TX– Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble. My three year old and I both fit at the table comfortably for art time. She has spilled acrylic paint on the table and it just wipes up, even after it is dry. The paint stained some of the grain, but that's no big deal for us since we got it specifically to do art projects etc. on. She likes to use it with her play kitchen as well, since it looks a lot like our dinner table. We will probably be ordering taller legs as she starts school and has homework, or maybe even a larger one of this exact same model. I'm pleased with my purchase and look forward to many years of enjoyment from it.
Love it!
Nana Lisa from Edmonton, KY– Verified Buyer

I absolutely LOVE this well-made, beautiful multi-functional table. My son uses it for arts and crafts, free play and even snacks. It's sturdy, well-made and I love the natural wood finish. Replaceable table legs are even available once your child grows taller. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Saints could wait until July to sign veteran backup QB
The Saints have yet to sign a veteran backup for QB Drew Brees, as the uncapped year's "final eight" rule has limited their options in free agency.
Harper says he does not regret a late hit on Carolina receiver Steve Smith that drew a $15,000 fine from the NFL this week.||||||| Harper says the fine was worth it and that his decision to shove Smith as the receiver slowly crossed the goal line last Sunday was good for his team and got his point across. Harper had said after Sunday's 30-27 Saints victory that if a player is going to score on the Saints, he's not going allow anyone to just "walk it in" the end zone. Harper's shove incited a brief scrum between the two teams.

He signed on Tuesday to avoid a situation whereby the Saints, under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, could lower their offer to 110 percent of Harper's 2009 salary, or around $600,000. Last season, Harper was credited with 99 total tackles, second on the club behind linebacker Jon Vilma. Harper also forced two fumbles and had 1.5 sacks.
Harper pulled his right hamstring in the Saints' season-opening 24-20 victory over Tampa Bay last Sunday.||||||| The injury will keep Harper out of the Saints' second game Sunday at Washington.

Temple in Monkey Forest, Ubud, Bali
The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, central Bali, is a nature reserve as well as a sacred Balinese Hindu site and temple complex. A few hundred Balinese long-tailed macaques inhabit this small forest, they are believed to be God's guards of this temple, called Pura Dalem Agung Pedangtegal - the Great Temple of Death.
We visited the forest in the early morning hours to avoid the crowds that are now visiting the forest on a daily basis. Unfortunately the sky was not very clear but it added to the special atmosphere of this very special place.
The presence of sacred forest is a demonstration of the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. ...

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.
