Sizzle some chopped bacon with the onions. Pour in a splash of dry sherry before adding the stock. Any canned pulses can replace the chickpeas. Throw in some chopped sprouts – cooked or raw, it doesn't matter. For extra zing, squeeze in a little lemon juice at the end.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes or so, stirring every now and then until it starts to soften.
- To make the soup, add the red pepper, ground coriander, chilli and rice and stir round the pan for about a minute. Pour in the hot stock, stir in the turkey and chickpeas and season well. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables and rice are tender. Stir in the coriander or parsley and it's ready. (The soup may now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month.)

Comments, questions and tips
A great base recipe - I made a few changes that did it for me: made my own stock from the turkey bones and skin, so that the soup was flavourful and rich instead of thin, and switched the lemon for lime to give it an authentic Mexican kick - also used potato chunks in place of pasta or rice. Delicious and super-filling on a cold night!

Dutch teenager Jeffrey Herlings was on Stefan Everts' (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager) radar screen long before he got his first ride with the team at the close of the 2009 season when he was slipped under the MX2 World Championship age limit.
Herlings was then signed for the factory team in 2010 and enjoyed a spectacular first half of the season before he injured his shoulder in the Czech GP in Loket and had to sit out the remaining races.
The on-track battles between Herlings and teammate Ken Roczen turned out to be a highlight of the 2011 season and Herlings, the younger of the two teenagers, made it a two-way battle for the title right up to the second last round of the season.
Herlings went on to have a golden season in 2013 winning 15 of the 17 MX2 GPs and was not able to ride in the other two. He won every race he entered except the second moto in Brazil, where he finished second. Having set the bar very high in the previous season, Herlings goes into 2014 with nothing to prove. Still only 19, he is expected to deliver another thrilling season in MX2.
- 2008 World Champion & European Champion 85cc class
- 2009 2nd MX2 European Championship
- 2010 6th MX2 World Championship
- 2011 Dutch National Champion
- 2011 2nd MX2 World Championship
- 2012 Opened the season with a double moto win at Valkenswaard, his third successive victory at this venue
- 2012 MX2 World Champion
- 2013 MX2 World Champion with three rounds still in hand

Built in the 1880′s the original 3-story home was by itself on top of a hill. Over the years, as roads changed and more houses were built, the original home was extended through a series of unorganized and badly executed DIY projects. Although Steely recommended to his clients that it would be far cheaper to tear the home down and start from scratch, the couple insisted on a renovation to retain the integrity of history. So, they all set out to design the best possible house they could with the given conditions.
Besides remodeling the interior and getting rid of the mess and the dry rot, the home had to be upgraded for seismic conditions. The solution for this was to built a steel exoskeleton around the house to shore up the structure. This addition is mostly what gives the home it's modern aesthetic coupled with larger windows. Redwood paneling from inside the home was reclaimed by the homeowner and painstakingly refinished for use as cladding on the exterior. You can see this as the white boards compared to the bright neon green part, which is the original Victorian facade.

One of the many things that truly sets the Oregon Veterans' Home apart from other care communities is its residents. Like you, they have served their country in times of war and in times of peace. Also, having lived full lives, they have many memories and stories to share. They are veterans, just like you. Situated on 15 acres, the Oregon Veterans´ Home is located in the historic Columbia Gorge community of The Dalles. From the hill on the east side of town, residents have a beautiful panoramic view of the city, the Columbia River, The Dalles Dam and majestic Mount Hood. Opened in the fall of 1997, the Home can care for as many as 151 residents who need long-term care in a care facility that provides skilled nursing, Alzheimer's and dementia-related care, and inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative care to veterans, their spouses and parents who have lost a child to war-time service.
In 2012, US News & Word Reports rated the Home as one of Oregon's "Best Nursing Homes" -- a 5-Star facility. It's also earned a Step II Award for Quality Achievement, one of only two state veterans' homes out of 170 to achieve this level of recognition.

This eye-opening look at crime and punishment in the Old West brings a whole new meaning to the term ""frontier justice"".
- A host of experts and visits to noted collections and museums shed new light on crime and punishment in the Old West.
- Learn what it was like to be a sheriff or judge in the boomtowns and whistle stops that peppered the expanding frontier.
In the 19th century, as the nation spread rapidly west, it was all the law could do to keep up. The promise of a fresh start and undiscovered territory brought many questionable characters to the frontier and its settlements, and the job of keeping the peace was just as likely to be handled by other settlers as by some of the few, overworked lawmen.
With a steady hand and deadly aim, EXECUTION TECH takes viewers back to the Old West to see how justice was served. It's a world of six guns and sheriffs, cattle rustlers and wanted posters, where the rules weren't always too clear, and some men moved between both sides of the law.

BMW Zagato Coupe clears its throat for the crowds at Villa d'Este
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on May 29th, 2012 at 3:58PM
Goodbye Bangle, hello Zagato. While the BMW design ethos may be best known for the aggressive flame-surfacing language, it took a decidedly different approach at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este this weekend when it unveiled the Zagato Coupé concept.

BALTIMORE - The Baltimore school system has announced plans to close 26 school buildings in the next 10 years.
The city's school system announced the "10-year plan" on Tuesday.
The Baltimore Sun ( http://bsun.md/Uq6R3B) reports that it's part of a plan to overhaul the city's dilapidated infrastructure.
The plan also calls for replacing or renovating 136 school buildings and reducing the number of buildings from 163 to 137. The changes are planned to adjust to changes in population and increase the school district's utilization rate.
School officials say the plan is estimated to cost about $2.4 billion.

Chomsky: Is the U.S. Gearing Up for the Destruction of Iran?
The dire threat of Iran is widely recognized to be the most serious foreign policy crisis facing the Obama administration. General Petraeus informed the Senate Committee on Armed Services in March 2010 that "the Iranian regime is the primary state-level threat to stability" in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, the Middle East and Central Asia, the primary region of US global concerns. The term "stability" here has its usual technical meaning: firmly under US control.
In June 2010 Congress strengthened the sanctions against Iran, with even more severe penalties against foreign companies. The Obama administration has been rapidly expanding US offensive capacity in the African island of Diego Garcia, claimed by Britain, which had expelled the population so that the US could build the massive base it uses for attacks in the Central Command area. The Navy reports sending a submarine tender to the island to service nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines with Tomahawk missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads. Each submarine is reported to have the striking power of a typical carrier battle group. According to a US Navy cargo manifest obtained by the Sunday Herald (Glasgow), the substantial military equipment Obama has dispatched includes 387 "bunker busters" used for blasting hardened underground structures. Planning for these "massive ordnance penetrators," the most powerful bombs in the arsenal short of nuclear weapons, was initiated in the Bush administration, but languished. On taking office, Obama immediately accelerated the plans, and they are to be deployed several years ahead of schedule, aiming specifically at Iran.
"They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran," according to Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London. "US bombers and long range missiles are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours," he said. "The firepower of US forces has quadrupled since 2003," accelerating under Obama.
The Arab press reports that an American fleet (with an Israeli vessel) passed through the Suez Canal on the way to the Persian Gulf, where its task is "to implement the sanctions against Iran and supervise the ships going to and from Iran." British and Israeli media report that Saudi Arabia is providing a corridor for Israeli bombing of Iran (denied by Saudi Arabia). On his return from Afghanistan to reassure NATO allies that the US will stay the course after the replacement of General McChrystal by his superior, General Petraeus, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen visited Israel to meet IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi and senior military staff along with intelligence and planning units, continuing the annual strategic dialogue between Israel and the U.S. The meeting focused "on the preparation by both Israel and the U.S. for the possibility of a nuclear capable Iran," according to Haaretz, which reports further that Mullen emphasized that "I always try to see challenges from Israeli perspective." Mullen and Ashkenazi are in regular contact on a secure line.
The increasing threats of military action against Iran are of course in violation of the UN Charter, and in specific violation of Security Council resolution 1887 of September 2009 which reaffirmed the call to all states to resolve disputes related to nuclear issues peacefully, in accordance with the Charter, which bans the use or threat of force.
Some analysts who seem to be taken seriously describe the Iranian threat in apocalyptic terms. Amitai Etzioni warns that "The U.S. will have to confront Iran or give up the Middle East," no less. If Iran's nuclear program proceeds, he asserts, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other states will "move toward" the new Iranian "superpower." To rephrase in less fevered rhetoric, a regional alliance might take shape independent of the US. In the US army journal Military Review, Etzioni urges a US attack that targets not only Iran's nuclear facilities but also its non-nuclear military assets, including infrastructure -- meaning, the civilian society. "This kind of military action is akin to sanctions - causing 'pain' in order to change behaviour, albeit by much more powerful means."

The ABC's of creating MP3s
Being content with GUI ripping software was something that didn't happen to me using Linux. I had expected my music player software to handle `the task but I can't remember any that did (not remembering to me is the same as working poorly I'm discovering). As for stand-alone rippers I haven't heard any that were notable. Because I'm a big fan of software being efficient and to the point (do one thing and do it well) I was a bit nonplussed when I began wondering how I was going to import my CDs to MP3s. A good number of tasks that I had regularly done through the GUI, I discovered are better done through the command line and though I haven't tested every MP3-related application this looks like it may be true for them as well. Here's a complete-ish guide to ripping, organizing, repairing, and volume normalizing an audio collection well, done mostly through the CLI.
RipIT is program that can do just about anything that a GUI version to do. It's default options will be good enough for most cases (running
ripit is all that is needed). Having a greater amount of control however can save time in the end. A wrapper script can be created to help with this:
ripcd script below defines:
- The ripping preset (extreme here because storage space isn't an issue).
- The directory creation template. RipIT goes online and gets the album tag information which can be used organize directories by tag (here the common
"$artist/$album"is used").
- Looping (prompts when for new CD when ripping is done)
- Ripping priority so RipIT plays nice with other programs.
- Query the MusicBrainz music database instead as it is usually more accurate (editor approval required).
- The Audio sub-directory to rip it (my Audio directory is divided as such:
# ls ~/Audio/ Audiobooks Music Others Podcasts)
Normalizing audio means to adjust the volume of audio files to a standard level. This is often a good idea as average volumes levels per album usually differ to some degree. A great program called
mp3gain can do this easily. I created a script for this that first normalizes by type (either Music collection, or Audiobook collection… since there are usually differing recording standards for each), then normalize relative to other albums in that catagory. Here's the script:
Lame is used by RipIT for encoding of the audio files and does a very good job of it, occasionally though I've found it to make a mistake. For these MP3s, previous rips, and for MP3s that have been previously downloaded it is good idea to check them and see if they are in good shape. An excellent tool called MP3 Diags can test MP3s and fix common problems. Repairing MP3s I've discovered makes inter-operability between different players play nice. MP3 Diags also includes a very nice (though basic) tag editor.
Posted on 2012-02-06, in Command Line, Linux, Music, Script and tagged ripit. Bookmark the permalink. 4 Comments.
nice… you should try abcde too. It does the trick for me since… forever.
Why use a GUI?
cdparanoia -B
(cdda2wav is newer/faster but doesn't rip hidden tracks, sad…)
Why MP3?
I'm using FLAC (PC) / OGG (Phone).
Why normalizing?
I'm using replaygain. (No, it's note the same.)
For MP3s you can do it in one step:
for FILE in *.wav; do lame -q 0 -V 2 –noreplaygain -Y –scale $(wavegain -p -x "$FILE") "$FILE" "${FILE%%.*}.mp3″; done

FRANKFORT, Ky. (7/26/13) – Kentucky counties can now apply for $3,000 in waste tire recycling and removal grants from money that is available through the Energy and Environment Cabinet's Division of Waste Management (DWM) Waste Tire Trust Fund.
"Eligible expenses under this grant are the actual costs that the county incurs during the grant period for recycling or disposal of waste tires," said Gary Logsdon, manager of DWM's Recycling and Local Assistance Branch. "Other expenses, such as labor and equipment costs, are not eligible."
Eligibility for the 2013–2014 funds requires the state-approved closure of the 2012-2013 waste tire grant.
The grant period is July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. Costs incurred by a county beginning July 1, 2013 are eligible for recycling or disposal of waste tires, even prior to the signing of the 2013-2014 grant agreement, if the county submits receipts for those costs when it sends in its close-out report form by July 15, 2014.
The waste tire grant does not require a match but counties must submit grant applications no later than Aug. 30, 2013 as an eligibility factor. Once signed, the counties will have until July 15, 2014 to demonstrate accountability by submitting the proper expenditure receipts and reports for the grant money. Any unused funds must be returned to the Kentucky State Treasurer.
The grant packets are being sent by email to county judge-executives and solid waste coordinators.
