RENO, Nev. (AP) - Reno police say human bones found by a hiker
over the summer belong to a 62-year-old man reported missing more
than four years ago.
Officials say Wednesday that a Texas DNA lab that analyzed the
remains identified them as David A. Williams of Reno.
Williams was reported missing in August 2007. His vehicle was
found that year at a park near Mayberry Drive and Plateau Road,
close to where the bones were later discovered.
Crews held an extensive search after Williams was reported
missing, but the remains weren't found.
The bones were discovered June 14 in brush so dense that a Reno
Public Works crew had to cut it away to recover them.
Police say Williams was depressed at the time of his disappearance, and may have committed suicide.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Cookie!
Facts about Cookie
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Cookie's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
We have a shy, sweet little guy. Once he learns who you are he can be very loving and would like to go home with you.
Other Pets at Allied Cats of Columbus Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cookie, a Columbus Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Columbus, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Columbus.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Columbus already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Columbus breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Columbus paves the way for another one to be saved.

Big 'yes' to Lidl store plan
Last updated at 14:33, Friday, 15 August 2014
Plans to build a new supermarket in Maryport have been largely welcomed by townsfolk.
Lidl revealed a proposal to build its largest UK store at Milltoft, off Curzon Street.
Two drop-in sessions were held on Monday and Tuesday at the town's Wave Centre to allow people to see the proposals for the 2,500-square-metre store.
The prevailing opinion from the sessions was that the store would be positive for the town.
Edna Holliday, 68, of Ewanrigg Road, Maryport, said: "I'm glad it's coming. People who haven't got a car have to use a bus to go to Workington and they have to carry heavy bags. It will be good for keeping shoppers in the town."
James Hayhurst, 86, of Crosby, is a fan of Lidl and regularly travels to the nearest store in Wigton to do his shopping.
He said: "Instead of a 32-mile trip, it will just be four miles. It will be much more convenient for me. This is ideal and should have been done years ago."
The Milltoft land is owned by Allerdale council which would sell it to Lidl as part of a deal being managed by Allerdale Investment Partnership.
The initiative was established to enable the council to dispose of surplus assets and deliver development opportunities.
It is hoped the development would create 30 direct jobs, together with construction employment.
A planning application will be submitted to Allerdale council by the partnership next month following community consultation.
If permission is granted, it is hoped that building work will start in spring next year.
As part of the consultation, around 7,000 leaflets have been sent to households and businesses with information about the proposals.
There was also a questionnaire attached to the leaflets asking whether people were in favour of the plans.
Amanda Brocklehurst, associate director at Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners in Newcastle, planning consultants for the scheme, said they had received 550 responses, of which 98 per cent were in favour.
She added: "The questionnaire showed an overwhelming public support for the proposals, which has been reflected at the drop-in sessions."

Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) of the three match ODI series at Dambulla on Saturday. Dhammika Prasad was picked in the place of Nuwan Kulasekara as the latter was struggling with form. Prasad removed the Paksitani opening batsmen Ahmed Shehzad and Sharjeel Khan in a short span of time. He bowled six overs in his first spell and gave away only 25 runs. Lasith Malinga, on the other hand, looked on song as he bowled a tight line and length right from the onset.
Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Sohaib Maqsood and Shahid Afridi. All of them failed to impress yet again. Thisara Perera has been in sublime form in this series as he picked up nine wickets and scored 138 runs. Misbah-ul-Haq's run out was the key moment in this match. There was never a run there. It was a bad call indeed that resulted in gifting his wicket to the Sri Lankans. Upul Tharanga and Dilshan took on the Pakistani bowling attack right from the start.. The bowlers could not hit the right line and length and as a result Dilshan and Tharanga routed them.

Caught in the Net: Bahrain
Bahrain trumpets itself as one of the Middle East's most wired countries. But some Bahrainis are fuming after their government recently shut down two popular Web sites whose discussion forums contained criticism of the current regime. On one forum, www.bahrainonline.org, which received about 200,000 daily hits, users had made allegations of state corruption. The government's response? "There are no limits to freedom," said King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, "but this freedom should be based on patriotism."

The Nigerian Navy on Saturday in Warri,destroyed over 260 illegal refineries and apprehended five persons suspected to be involved in running the refineries.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria, who monitored the 8-hour operation inside Oteghele Phase one and two forest in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta, reports that the Naval ship, NNS Delta,was used in destroying the illegal refineries
Addressing newsmen at the scene of the operation, the NNS Delta Commanding Officer, Capt. Musa Gemu, said that the operation would be a routine process.
"We destroyed about 260 underground illegal refineries and also burnt over 100,000 metric tons of Automotive Gas Oil diesel today.
"We also apprehended five suspects; two women and three middle-aged men.
"The Navy also seized one small generating set, two pumping machines and two boats from the suspects,'' he said.
Gemu said that the suspects would be handed over to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, for prosecution.
He warned the people against indulging in criminal acts, adding that the Navy was poised to sanitise the Nigerian waterways from all forms of illegalities.

Space Exploration
- Grades: 6–8, 9–12
The age of space exploration opened in the sixth decade of the 20th century. In its first two decades, robot probes and then human beings first ventured beyond the limits of the Earth's atmosphere and landed on another celestial object, the Moon. Probes have since gone on to explore the far realms of the solar system and beyond.
Although the space age is still young, it is based on a long history of theoretical and practical developments. Long before the enabling technology for entering space was developed, a theoretical basis had been laid by science. The key to space exploration, however, lay in the production of the rocket engine, which made possible the lofting of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Once that was achieved, supporting technologies combined to yield the broad range of activities now being pursued in the realm of space. Such technologies include the development of scientific instruments to sense the conditions and processes found in outer space and to observe the objects encountered there, as well as the development of the transportation and communications hardware to support these activities. In order for human beings to survive in space, the effects of the vacuum, microgravity, and radiation conditions of that environment had to be studied as well, and the appropriate life support systems developed to meet those conditions.
Space exploration today includes the investigation of celestial objects ranging in size from atmospheric dust to the giant planets of the solar system and the Sun itself. The conditions encountered in outer space also alter familiar terrestrial processes, from simple chemical reactions to complex biological activities, and such effects are being explored to determine how they might prove useful, as in crystallization and drug purification processes. In addition, objects placed in orbit around the Earth provide platforms both for astronomical studies and for a wide range of scientific and practical activities relating to the Earth's surface, including surveys of resources, studies of weather processes, and the relaying of communications and television images between distant points. All of these subject areas lie within the field of space exploration, and this article also observes the social and military considerations that are necessarily involved.
Basic Rocket Technology
The basic principle of a rocket engine is that when fuel is burned in the engine, the reaction mass is expelled at high speed and pushes the engine in the opposite direction, in accordance with Isaac Newton's law of action and reaction. The energy to expel the reaction mass usually comes from some sort of exothermic (heat-producing) chemical reaction that causes the combustion products to expand violently and to stream out of a nozzle. In chemical reactions the actual reaction mass is usually the combustion products of the reaction. A number of other types of rocket engines are also possible, including ion engines using electrically charged ions.
Thrust. The thrust, or "push," of a rocket engine is measured either in units of weight (kilograms or pounds) - where one unit of thrust gives to the equivalent unit of weight an acceleration of one gravity, or g (9.8 m/sec/sec, or 32.2 ft/sec/sec) - or, more properly, in newtons. A newton is a unit of force that gives one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second. For any rocket, thrust in kilograms can be converted to force in newtons by multiplying thrust by g. Large values are measured in kilonewtons.
Efficiency. The efficiency of a rocket engine is a much more crucial indicator of its performance. Efficiency is measured by a quantity called specific impulse, which is equivalent to the propellant's exhaust velocity divided by g. The resulting unit of measure is seconds. An equivalent concept is that the specific impulse value is the duration of time for which one kilogram of propellant can produce one kilogram of thrust. The higher the exhaust velocity and specific impulse of a rocket engine are, the more efficient it is. Solid-fuel rocket engines tend to have specific impulse values of up to about 200. Simple liquid-rocket systems, such as those using kerosene and liquid oxygen, have specific impuse values that measure in the mid-200s. Hypergolic systems such as those using hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, where the components ignite upon contact, have specific impulse values exceeding 300. Cryogenic hydrogen fuel can deliver values in the mid-400s. A simple nuclear engine such as the NERVA project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1970 can deliver 800 to 900 seconds, but with significant complications in safety.
Staging. Rocket staging is also required in order to create vehicles of sufficient power for spaceflight. When most of a rocket's fuel has been exhausted, the rocket is carrying a great deal of empty-casing weight and is using a rocket engine whose thrust has become much too great for the remaining vehicle weight. Schemes were therefore developed to discard empty tanks and large engines during the course of a rocket's ascent. The simplest technique was to place an entire smaller rocket on top of a larger one; this is called tandem staging. Other approaches involve the use of side-mounted engines or even engine and tank assemblies than can be discarded in flight; this is known as parallel staging.
Mission Phases
A typical space exploration mission requires, first of all, that a vehicle be launched from the Earth's surface into outer space. The vehicle must be able to survive and operate in space, after which it is sometimes returned to Earth. Each of these mission phases has special challenges that must be met by space scientists and engineers.
Launch. The initial phase of launch must use engines with high thrust and compact fuel. In practice, the launch engine involves either kerosene/liquid oxygen or solid-fuel boosters. As a booster pushes against air resistance and the tug of gravity, it loses much of its energy during the ascent. By the time it has achieved orbital altitude and velocity, more than 160 km (100 mi) above the Earth's surface and moving horizontally at about 7,600 m/sec (25,000 ft/sec), the booster must have expended about 9,100 m/sec (30,000 ft/sec) of velocity gain. This generally takes about eight or nine minutes, for an average acceleration of 2 gs.
Satellites commonly enter orbit close to Earth, and this region of space is referred to as low Earth orbit, or LEO. Propulsive stages can carry the payload higher, or into the 24-hour geosynchronous orbit, or GEO, commonly used by communications and weather satellites because they keep the satellites in position above a selected point on the Earth's surface. Alternatively, an upper stage on a rocket can fire to push a payload to escape velocity, or the velocity needed if an object is to effectively escape the Earth's gravitational influence. Escape velocity from Earth is about 10,800 m/sec (35,000 ft/sec). Vehicles departing from Earth are slowed by the tug of gravity, but as they attain greater and greater distances from the Earth, the gravitational pull decreases by the inverse square law. Ultimately, a probe launched with the exact velocity for escape from Earth would reach an infinite distance with no speed left. In practice, vehicles are effectively out of Earth's influence at a distance of about 1,600,000 km (1,000,000 mi). At this distance they would drift in orbit about the Sun near Earth's own orbit.
In order to reach another planet, a vehicle must have a velocity that exceeds escape velocity. Added to or subtracted from the Earth's own orbital velocity around the Sun, depending on the direction of aim, this excess velocity produces a new interplanetary orbit that may intersect the orbit of the intended target. With proper timing of the launch - the so-called launch "window" - a target planet will be at the point where such an interception can occur.
Inflight Operations. The inflight operations of a spacecraft involve guidance, navigation, and control. In space usage, these terms have specific meanings. Guidance refers to the determination of which way a probe should go to achieve a desired end position, such as a planetary intercept or a rendezvous with another vehicle. Navigation refers to the process of determining exactly where a probe is at any given time and where it will later be along that same course. Control refers to means of altering the flight path of a probe, usually by means of small rockets.
Guidance is accomplished by computing a space vehicle's end position compared to a desired condition and then using the differences to determine what changes in current motion would result in smaller final differences. The future position is computed by propagating the vehicle's "state vector" (current position and velocity) forward in time, taking all gravitational influences into account as well as smaller perturbations due to atmospheric drag, solar wind, spacecraft venting, and similar disturbances. Significant course deviations can also be introduced by imprecise launch-vehicle performance. A certain amount of state-vector dispersion must be expected due to imperfect executions of maneuvers.
Measuring the actual position of a space vehicle is a complex task. Powerful radar stations on Earth can track satellites out to several thousand kilometers by bouncing radar beams off the satellites. Some satellites have transponders that automatically echo such a transmitted radar pulse, which greatly facilitates tracking. Satellites in GEO, however, usually can be detected from Earth only by their own radio transmissions, by optically tracking the satellites through powerful telescope cameras, or by using very powerful radar pulses. For vehicles in deep space, tracking is accomplished through the analysis of returned radio signals, in terms both of line-of-sight to the probe and of Doppler shifts of the signal from the probe as it passes through changing gravitational fields. These measurements are compared to computer models of where the probe would be traveling if a certain initial position were assumed. From this comparison a best estimate of position can then be determined.
A space vehicle's own attitude, or pointing direction, is determined onboard. Precise angles can be measured relative to an outside inertial frame of reference by means of periodic star sightings, and gyroscopes are used to measure any variations that occur subsequently. A precise knowledge of attitude is required to perform proper course changes. Once required velocity changes have been computed, the vehicle must rotate itself in space in order to point its propulsion system in the proper direction and then perform the firing at the precise moment for which it was computed. The velocity change actually executed can be observed by accelerometers on the probe. Following such correction maneuvers, additional periods of tracking may occur so that more navigation can refine the knowledge of the probe's trajectory and end point, and additional course corrections can then be performed as needed.
Radio communications are required to command a probe and to receive information about its status and about the findings of its instruments. Information received over a radio link is called telemetry. Control is exercised by sending coded instructions that are received by the spacecraft, interpreted by a circuit called the command decoder, and then executed as necessary by the probe's computer autopilot. For deep-space probes the round-trip time of radio signals can become excessive. Round-trip time to the Moon, for example, is only a matter of seconds, but it can reach tens of minutes for Mars probes and many hours for probes in the outer solar system. Direct real-time commanding therefore cannot always be accomplished, and a great deal of flexibility and anticipatory programs are involved in preparing for such distant probes.
The use of ground tracking stations is very different for LEO satellites and for deep-space vehicles. The latter move through the Earth's sky very slowly and can remain in sight of a single tracking site for up to 12 hours. Because of the low altitude and relatively great speed of LEO satellites, however, they quickly cross the sky of any ground site, moving from horizon to horizon in five or six minutes. This explains why satellites near Earth spend most of their time out of radio contact even though 10 to 20 tracking sites are available for use, whereas vehicles millions of kilometers out in space can be continuously monitored by only a handful of sites strategically spread around the globe. NASA's deep-space network has three main sites, at Goldstone Tracking Station in California, Madrid in Spain, and near Canberra in Australia. In order to overcome this geographical restriction and to reduce the expense of maintaining worldwide radio stations, both NASA and the Russian space program have developed geosynchronous relay satellites. Known in the United States as the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, the network of three satellites and three spares now routinely relays data from manned and some unmanned satellite missions. The equivalent Russian system is called Luch ("ray"). After the American system became fully operational in 1995, most of NASA's worldwide tracking sites were shut down.
Electrical power is another feature common to all space vehicles. Probes on missions lasting only a few days may use batteries or high-efficiency fuel cells that convert cryogenic oxygen and hydrogen reactions into electricity, with water as a waste product. Solar cells, arranged either in flat panels, or "wings," or wrapped around the outer surface of a probe, are the most common power source. They must be supplemented by batteries, however, for those times when spacecraft pass through planetary shadows. For missions to planets more distant from the Sun than the Earth is, solar cells would provide less energy. Therefore energy is sometimes provided instead by small nuclear devices - thermoelectric systems in which the heat from radioactive decay is converted by thermocouples into electricity. The U.S. Cassini spacecraft launched toward the planet Saturn in 1997 carries three such plutonium devices. Full-fledged nuclear reactors have been used in LEO, where large power output is required from compact units. The most notable example was the radar ocean surveillance program of the former Soviet Union, in which two satellites and their reactors fell to Earth, one in 1978 and the other in 1983.
Return to Earth. For spacecraft that are to be returned to Earth a controlled descent is required. This is initiated by a "deorbit" maneuver that uses onboard propulsion to slow the vehicle's speed by about 1%. This slight amount is sufficient to lower the orbital path into the upper atmosphere, where drag will slow it further.
Entry into the atmosphere poses special craft-survival problems. Tremendous heat builds up, not on the skin of the vehicle (friction is not involved) but just ahead of it, where a shock wave creates severe air compression. The resulting plasma can reach temperatures as high as on the surface of the Sun. This heat will soak into the vehicle unless it is shielded, either by an ablative covering that carries heat away as it boils off, by an efficient insulator such as the material in the Space Shuttle tiles, or by an active cooling system. Atmospheric resistance slows the vehicle sharply, creating deceleration forces of up to ten times the force of gravity. Ionized, superheated air surrounds the vehicle with a sheath that blocks all radio communications. These effects require a precisely guided descent profile to enable a safe return.

Question of the day - September 28th
In what order in your family are you? Oldest, middle, youngest, only?
Do you think your position has anything to do with your personality?
I am the middle child, middle sister. I have been told I need attention, possibly from always being in the middle. Also, I think I was more insecure than the others.
I'm the fourth child after three boys. I have one younger sister. I've been feeling very insecure lately, but I think it has more to do with life circumstances than anything else. Did you ever read Kevin Lehman's book? I haven't, but I heard him speak once, long ago, at a church.
I am a middle child , having 2 older sister and 1 younger sister and a brother. Odd things is even thou we have lose two our or sisters. I am still the middle child , we lose the sister right above and right below me. The brother was the the baby of the family. I think my personally has more to do with the fact I was mom's pet and I was also with the sister right above me a lot while my was taking care of the other two girls who had the some trouble with their asthma.

or do you?
nagato will either die on his own or i could have theory that danzo may show up and kill him to make it look like hes still on the good side and not wanting to take advantage and secure the title of hokage
Why you ressurected your own post about 2 months latter? LOL!?
Hi mom
well the manga said, unexpected outcome. that is unexpected but it wouldn't stop his rasenshuriken. his FRS would still hit pein even IF naruto was reverse summoned.
why 2 mounth later - I was away for 2 mounths since predicion .
other troubles = 8-tailed fox
reverse summoning was already
so the one remains is someone who can come and it will be in next chaper i guess. The idea held more than in 8 chapters was explored in 2 sentenses
ah, my predictions is true for >10 chapters !!!
that will be even longer

Working to Stop Welfare Fraud
Reporter: Amelia Nahmias
AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) -- Investigator Paul McCormick with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office said people are always trying to beat the system, especially during tough economic times.
Lies on welfare applications can amount to fraud punishable by jail time.
McCormick said everyone needs to pitch in to stop these criminals.
"Law enforcement, social services, and their fraud department rely on people in the community to contact us and give us information. Because it is tax payer money that is being misappropriated. It's not fair to those who legitimately need the money," said McCormick.
McCormick said to report any misinformation to social services fraud department.

Jay Gruden Hired to Coach Redskins
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jay Gruden has agreed to become the head coach of the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins confirmed Thursday that Gruden has accepted the job and will be introduced at an afternoon news conference.
The 46-year-old Gruden has spent the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, where he helped develop Andy Dalton.
Now he'll have the task of working with another young franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III.
Gruden, the brother of former NFL head coach Jon Gruden, had drawn interest from at least three other teams seeking to fill a head coaching vacancy.
He interviewed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday.
Gruden replaces Mike Shanahan, who was fired last week after a 3-13 season.

The vote wasn't fulfilled by Christians only....
Submitted by Guesttenheimer (not verified) on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 2:25pm.
...it was fulfilled by many others that may not be Christians, yet still have a moral foundation. You see, the vast majority of people these days know what the function of their sex organs are, are NOT confused about their gender, are NOT confused as to being gay, straight, bi or whatever and playing all options at a whim. Most people still enjoy procreation by having children and subsequent grandchildren. Gay couples cannot procreate and that ISN'T going to change come hell, high water, wish, hate or threaten!

Jane Eyre
- 2011
- 120 min
- Directed by: Cary Joji Fukunaga
- Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Judi Dench, Jamie Bell
- Language: English, French
Dumping the childhood chapters of Charlotte Bronte's novel, Fukunaga does a great job here of making the action and emotions of a well-worn story feel modern without removing it from its original context. Playing to the gothic aspects of the book (and the tastes of the Twilight generation) Wasikowska is otherworldly in the titular role, but a devilish Fassbender steals the show as Mr Rochester.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. — Police have made an arrest after a woman was sexually assaulted last month at a northeast Wichita park.
Around 3 p.m. on June 13, a woman who was jogging at Eastview Park was approached from behind by a man on a bicycle. The woman was knocked to the ground, dragged to nearby bushes and raped at knife point.
She managed to get away and call for help. When police arrived, they found some of the victim's clothes, the attacker's knife and his bicycle.
About 10 days after the incident, someone called to report a suspicious person in the area of the park.
Following an investigation and based on forensic evidence, yesterday officers arrested a 44-year-old man. Benton G. Baskin was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated kidnapping. Police say he also has a criminal history.

5 Mouthwatering Vegan Pumpkin Recipes
VegNews gives you the lowdown on the fall pumpkin craze, including five seasonal recipes youll be dying to dig into.
It's that time of year when every gloved hand holds a pumpkin spiced latte, bellies are filled with pumpkin muffins and scones, and the ubiquitous orange orbs fill grocery store aisles and adorn your next door neighbor's stoop. But how did this fall favorite become a seasonal icon, associated with everything autumn, from hay rides to Halloween? We take you through the pumpkin's journey to cultural prevalence, starting with its colonial roots and ending with five scrumptious recipes of the sweet and savory variety.
The History of Jack-O-Lanterns
Perhaps the pumpkin's most prominent role is a Halloween Jack-o-lantern, when a spooky face is carved in a hollowed-out pumpkin and a candle inside illuminates the image with a spooky flicker of light. Originating in Ireland, Jack-o-lanterns were first made with turnips, and named after the folk character Stingy Jack, whose soul supposedly wanders the Earth with only a lit coal placed inside a turnip. Irish immigrants who came to the United States brought the Jack-o-lantern tradition with them, but used pumpkins because they were less expensive.
The History of Holiday Pumpkin Pie
If there's anything more beloved than an artfully carved Jack-o-lantern, it's a freshly-baked pumpkin pie. Pumpkins grew in abundance in Plymouth, and America's early settlers took note of the Native Americans' many uses for them, such as roasting or boiling the vegetable for meals. Later, the settlers began seasoning the pumpkin before cooking it and adding spices, honey, and milk. In 1653, a French chef published a cookbook that featured a recipe for what was the pumpkin pie that we know today. In 1796, the recipe appeared in an American cookbook, beginning a marketing storm by companies to push the pastry as a holiday staple.
Health Benefits of Pumpkin
While it is certainly dynamic and delicious, pumpkin also yields an array of health benefits. A cup of puréed pumpkin has approximately seven grams of dietary fiber and is filled with potassium, iron, and vitamin A and E, promoting healthy digestion and helping maintain a strong immune system. Pumpkin's orange glow is credited to beta-carotene, a carotenoid nutrient that bolsters eye health, fights cancer, and staves off heart disease. But don't forget the seeds! These bite-sized snacks, best enjoyed roasted, toasted, and salted, are packed with zinc, protein, potassium, and magnesium.
Herald the autumn and kick start the annual pumpkin craze with these five festive recipes:
Hot Pumpkin Mug
Blogger Kathy Patalsky veganizes coffee house giant Starbucks' iconic Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Savory and sweet with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon, Patalsky does her own take on this steamy fall treat––vegan whipped cream and all!
Pumpkin Spiced Latte Quinoa Breakfast Casserole
We're big fans of quinoa, and this morning dish from food blog Healthful Pursuit is as festive as they come. What better way to accompany your vegan pumpkin latte than with a complementary breakfast casserole?
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
If there's anything we love year round, it's the classic chocolate chip cookie. But once fall hits, what's better than adding some pumpkin-goodness to the ooey gooey sweetness? Plus, this recipe from gluten-free baker Sarah Hornacek keeps the pesky allergen at bay.
Pumpkin Curry with Chickpeas
Why not make an entire day's menu while we're at it? This pumpkin curry dish is a perfect hearty, warm dinner for once the cooler temperatures hit. The alluring aroma of lemongrass and cardamom is enough to affectionately usher in autumn, one spoonful at a time.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
Summer may be over, but we still welcome any chance we get to dig into a big bowl of soft serve––so imagine our excitement at this Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream recipe. It's official, we'll be starting our day with a Pumpkin Spiced Latte and ending it with scoop of Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream. Hello fall, we've missed you!

What kind of socks does a physics major wear? Well, if you're Tommy Boykin, there are two kinds of socks in the world: dress socks and black Nike athletic socks, specifically the running type that are engineered for each foot. On laundry day Tommy dutifully matches right with left, mashes them into a ball and puts them in the top drawer of his dresser in Blue Ridge, a residence hall at Berea. (more…)

I just brewed a 10gal batch of i guess you would call Honey Beer. I added 2lbs of honey malt to the mash. The hydro samples taste great but it will sit in primary for another week to make around 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. Mine was more of an APA. Opps just saw this was in extract brewing. sorry.
Add the honey at 140 degrees it will still pasturize the honey but retain the flavors. One of the local guys at my LHBS had some honey ale and it was a very pronounced flavor. Plus most braggots state to add it at this temp if I recall.
Adding honey to the brew pot is like ripping up a $5 bill. Do a search for honey on this site and you will find many threads on it. I think the expert consensus was to add honey to the primary 2-3 days after fermentation starts.

In town for US Open- rec's for casual Asian in the city? We really enjoyed Slanted Door and Yank Sing last trip..
- a
- ashley_rye Jun 10, 2012 11:36 AM
.. and would like to try another place for dim sum, sushi/seafood, Vietamese, etc. Maybe Le Colonial?
I consider a trip to SF without a visit to Lers Ros (original in Tenderloin) for an appetizer-heavy meal a sad oversight. I also love the Lao-menu at Vietian in Oakland, particularly the nam khao, if you are BART-friendly.
re: Robert Lauriston
Second old Islamic, but for much more than hot pot if the OP is a lamb fan. It is relatively close to the Olympic Club too.
Also if they allow non-member tournament attendees to do so, be sure to try the fresh rectangular shaped sausages from the snack pavilion located next to the driving range. Unique and tasty!
How about XLBs or soup dumplings? Not quite dim sum but many people like them.
There's several places on the Western side of SF and near the airport. Shanghai Dumpling King at 35th/Balboa, Kingdom of Dumplings on Taraval, Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae (close to SFO). Pretty much all are casual or even hole-in-the-wall-ish.
re: ML8000
+1 on these, the shanghai places have broad menus and you'll enjoy picking out a few dishes you've never seen before - and having some great dumplings.
re: ML8000
Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae has great XLB, I think maybe even better than Yank Sing. Of the three listed I thought these were best by far. Although it might be somewhat luck - depending on when you go and how freshly made they are.
re: calumin
I believe Shanghai Dumpling Shop is owned by the same folks as Shanghai Dumpling House at 37th/Balboa.
re: ashley_rye
Now that I recall, they are actually made from ground beef, so they are rectangular hamburgers served in a hotdog bun. Good stuff.
re: Civil Bear
Yes, they are made of ground beef and are known as "burger dogs." I am not sure if they will be available during the US Open week.
re: Civil Bear
Clearly I'm not running in the right circles, have not had a burger dog.
re: Melanie Wong
When you do, be sure to order two. You never know when you will back again!
re: Melanie Wong
little better picture :)
re: drewskiSF
I was at the tournament yesterday and sadly, the usual food stand btwn at the 10th tee is not open during the US Open. The USGA is handling all food concessions.
I had the Olympic Club Hospitality ticket which allows access to one place where they have it on the menu (snack pavilion located across from the driving range, as mentioned above). However, the SF Chron reported that it is a copy and not like the original, and nor does it taste as good.
re: baron45
Interesting. I wonder if the snack pavilion you and the article are referring to is the same one that I visited last year. Is it a permanent structure? If so, would the USGA take over the facilities and serve the same menu but with different recipes? Seems like an odd thing to do.
re: Civil Bear
It was a temporary all-indoor 2-level structure on the upper parking lot (btwn the driving range and the first hole) . It was the same menu as the outdoor general public concession stands run by the USGA, but w/ the supposed OC burger.
Koi Palace is great (but only with a reservation, otherwise the dim sum wait is crazy).
Ton Kiang for dim sum, on Geary in SF.
Khan Toke Thai House, also on Geary.
Sushi - I prefer K's Kitchen, a neighborhood spot but very very fresh. Tsunami Sushi Bar is great if you want a hipster/city/cocktail feel instead.
go to Le Soleil and try the Vietnamese curry short ribs
Surprised that nobody's mentioned Burma Superstar yet. There are several locations (North Oakland, Inner Richmond in SF, and Alameda) but do know that the place does get fairly busy so either eat early/late and avoid prime evenings.
re: Civil Bear
I honestly like Burma Cafe (http://www.burma-cafe.com/) better than Little Yangon. It's a great family run restaurant that has a cleaner less hole in the wall feel than Little Yangon and tastes better. Lest I dare say even better than BSS.
To add to the list of dumpling shops: Dumpling Kitchen on Taraval around 30th (enjoy their soy bean milk, XLBs, dan dan mian (even if it's not exactly the way it should be - still tastes great).
Another Chinese place I love: Hakka around 45th & Cabrillo
Agree with favorite Thai - including Ler Ros, but also Thai House Express is great.
re: jlfoodie
Here's my post from last year on Burma Cafe with links to a couple interior shots.
If you haven't been to Little Yangon recently, it has spiffed up the interior. I never considered it unclean but it's more colorful inside now.
Both are better than Burma Superstar!
re: Civil Bear
No need to limit recommendations to places close to the Olympic Club. Most spectators will be parking at Candlestick Park and taking shuttle buses. Other shuttle buses are running from Colma BART.
Traffic is a mess on Skyline, John Daly Blvd and around Lake Merced. The section of Skyline by the Olympic Club is closed to through traffic.
re: Civil Bear
Yank Sing and the Slanted Door are not exactly next door either, nor did OP specify walking distance only. Plus, given the fact that the aforementioned are $$ rather than $, I'd say that Burma Superstar is a better fit in terms of decor and atmosphere than some of the other Burmese suggestions (though not necessarily food-wise depending on one's tastes).
I'm surprised no one's mentioned San Tung on Irving. Located on Sunset, more known for their potstickers and their signature chicken wings.
