Triple Play
"We pulled out every piece of playground equipment we had. We didn't have any safety surfacing or any equipment within ten years of age, and those more recent additions were only the animal hoppers. If something needed repair we had to bring it to the machine shop and have them make something up to make it work, since many of the old parts were no longer available," says Griffin.
"We eliminated swings and went with modular structures, since they have low maintenance and few repairs and come with long warranties. Everything we do we look at whether or not our guys will be able to take this on and do the same quality job we do with everything else and not neglect anything we have. If not, what are our options? Because we know bringing additional staff on is not an option."
This translates to everything else, like walking trails, which are designed with drainage, maintenance and their future care in mind.
Additionally, one feature can tie into another through a grant application, such as Natchitoches did with the Rapides Foundation (www.rapidesfoundation.org).
The foundation provided a grant for a walking trail and a playground renovation. The foundation has since developed a specific grant for this application based on its experience with Natchitoches.
In all, nine playgrounds were replaced and two new ones added.
Both city pools are being renovated, with new filtration systems, new roofs on the structures, new decking and fencing. One pool is being converted into a sprayground. The second pool will be renovated, while the adjacent baby pool will be turned into a sprayground as well.
"We won't need lifeguards for the sprayground, just someone certified in First Aid and CPR as a site manager. That should save us about $20,000 a year in staffing and chemicals. In five years it will pay for itself," says Griffin.
"We know the concept we want, just not the exact equipment right now — but it will be one of the ten companies on the bid list. The citizens will like it, and it has less liability and overhead. You can't continuously have an increase in your tax base, so I look for things that are economical in the long run that our citizens would like. They like a place for their kids to go and play in the water and not worry about them. Our baby pools are not functional. When we asked them whether they wanted a spray ground or a renovated baby pool, we never got baby pools as an answer."
Other recent additions include new CXT restrooms for a park and a bevy of maintenance equipment, like mowers, trucks, trailers, front-end loaders, four-wheelers and other utility vehicles.
"In the past three years we've probably put in the neighborhood of $500,000 into our park system, which is probably about as much as what's been spent in the last 30 years," says Griffin.
Round Robin
Besides creative financing and aggressive grant searches, Natchitoches has ramped up its community sports leagues and special event/tournament promotions.
Griffin reports that numbers have doubled each year in every sport. For example, youth flag football went from 60 to 125 to 250 participants in the first three years, with similar growth numbers in adult leagues.
"We get 30-40 of those political-style signs printed up every year for basketball, football, softball and any event we're doing that's coming up. We have them posted at all the key intersections and at the businesses that support us. We probably get more success out of that than we do through other advertising venues," explains Griffin.
"We send out about 8,000 flyers to the schools for each youth sport and use a different color form for each school we send them out to, so we know that when we're not getting a particular color form back to put signs up in that area. You're depending on someone else to do the work for you when you send the forms, and this way the parents can see it themselves if the forms aren't being passed out in their children's school."
Perhaps Natchitoches' greatest success has been in its ability to attract special events and tournaments to town, as well as hosting its own events. Griffin had been, and is involved with traveling tournaments, so he was able to bring a number of them to town, which helped jump-start the tournament business.

Striking Gender Differences Found in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rosalind Russell Center donors play important role in supporting study on who is at greatest risk for severe rheumatoid arthritis
Pioneering research supported by the Rosalind Russell Medical Research Center for Arthritis has shown that, although women are three times more likely than men to be diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), men who get the disease are at higher risk to experience a severe, destructive and progressive form of the disease.
The investigators also found that women who are afflicted with severe RA are more likely than other female patients to come from families in which males also have been affected by the disease.
"As evidenced by their lower incidence of RA, males appear to be naturally protected from the disease," according to study leader and internationally recognized genetic epidemiologist Dr. Lindsey Criswell, Professor in the UCSF Division of Rheumatology. "Our hypothesis is that there is a heavier genetic load toward RA in families in which males get the disease." Results of the study were published in the prestigious journal, Arthritis & Rheumatism.
"The take-home message to patients and physicians is that family history matters," says Dr. Criswell. "There are strong implications about the course of your disease if you are a male with RA or if you are a female RA patient with an affected male sibling."
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic "autoimmune" disease, meaning it occurs when a person's immune system goes awry and attacks the body's own cells and tissues. RA—which is less often crippling today due to major treatment advances in the last decade —afflicts two million Americans and is the second most common form of arthritis, after osteoarthritis.
Each of the study's 1,004 patient volunteers was interviewed to collect relevant personal details, including age at onset of RA symptoms, age at diagnosis, medication history and smoking history. Each patient volunteer was also examined for joint tenderness and underwent radiographs of the hands and wrists to evaluate bone erosions. In addition, each was tested for two auto-antibodies closely associated with the disease: RF (rheumatoid factor) and anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides).
"We documented substantially higher concentrations of these auto-antibodies in male patients compared to female patients," says Dr. Criswell. "This and other differences between the male and female patients support the conclusion that, when RA develops, males are more likely to have severe disease compared to the average female patient."
"Then we wanted to determine if these differences reflect something inherent to males or if they reflect something about the families in which males get the disease. To do that, we compared women with sisters with the disease to women with brothers with the disease. By comparing women to women, we ruled out any factors that are due to being male-what we find is due to something about the families that have affected males."
"In that analysis, we found that it's not necessarily something about being male per se that results in more severe disease-it's something about those families."
"In modern medicine, there is a real tendency for doctors to see patients very quickly and to forget about things like family history," says Dr. Criswell. "These findings remind all of us how important family history is in rheumatoid arthritis."

Van-Tastic: 15 Crazy Customized Vans
Vanners are everywhere. Across the country, these folks obsess over creating the most far-out customizations they can think of, be it a sci-fi or fantasy mural on their van's exterior or luxury carpeting and seats on the interior. Last week, though, they all gathered in one placethe 40th Van Nationals in Wisconsinand we were there.
By Joe P. Hasler
On July 11, the sprawling Walworth County Fairgrounds became the van capital of America. More than 500 Econolines, Astrovans, Eurovans, and seemingly every other type of van ever manufactured (or custom-built) arrived in southeastern Wisconsin's lake country for the four-day celebration known as the Van Nationals. This year marked the 40th gathering.

for your next Home Loan
Refinance Rates Options Available at
Historic Lows !
Don't miss the boat on this historical opportunity to
Cash-In Today!
In the mean time, check out our refinance rates!
We may never experience Refinance Rates
This Low again!
Mortgage Refinance Rates Update!
Refinance Rates on 30-year mortgages
Still Near Record Lows!
Tuesday November 5, 2013 - Mortgage refinance rates dropped sharply off 2014 highs, as the yield on 10-Yr US Treasuries dropped to 2.70%. The national average 30 Year Fixed rate mortgage is now slightly above 4.0%, still at a great level to create significant financial benefits for many refinacing homeowners. There is risk of a further run-up in US Treasury Yields that could cause mortgage rates to rise again. The timing is good to lock your rate now, particularly for those consolidating debt, refinancing out of adjustable rate mortgages, or for those homeowners looking to refinance a 1st and 2nd mortgage into one low fixed rate home loan.
Mortgage Refinancing - Your Insiders Guide
The Refinance Tool Box was developed to provide refinance home loan tools and mortgage information for people wanting to learn more about mortgage refinancing. We also give homeowners access to lenders offering low current mortgage refinance rates and closing costs.
You now have an insiders guide to learn about refinancing home loans, debt consolidation, and the home equity loan process, in an easy to understand format.
Just entering current mortgage refinance rates into mortgage calculators is not the goal here. Locating competitive current home loan rates and low closing costs is step one.
Understanding the financial impact and benefit of the home loan refinancing programs for which you qualify is step two, and the key.
We want your next home loan or debt consolidation mortgage to create the best financial scenario for you and your family. Refinancing is a huge decision and the more you know, the better for you.
It's easy to become overwhelmed with competing ads for refinance rates, home loan terms, refinancing buzz words, and the large number of mortgage refinance loan types on the market today.
No Fear! Refinancing a home loan follows a logical process that should not intimidate.
If you are searching for a low competitive fixed rate mortgage refinance , mortgage calculators, mortgage rates predictions, or a place to learn about the entire mortgage refinancing process, you have found the right place.
You will learn that refinance rate quotes are only one part of the home loan refinancing process.
Good Refi Programs vs Bad Mortgage Deals
Here, we hope to give you an understanding of the mortgage refinance and debt consolidation home loan world from the inside.
You will learn about the common home mortgage refinancing programs on the market and how refinance home loans are qualified. We will also go over refinance credit basics, including credit score impact on mortgages, and explain how to find refinancing lenders who really have competitive low current mortgage refinance rates and programs. Also, you will learn what actually makes up current market mortgage refinance rates.
A deep look into refinance closing costs will give you the insight needed to make comparisons between competing mortgage refinance lenders.
In the very least, we hope to arm you with the refinancing knowledge necessary to ask the right questions and to make an informed decision about your new refinance loan.
Lesson 1: Not All Mortgage Refinancing Professionals and Lenders
are Created Equal
Unfortunately, the current refinance mortgage marketplace is filled with advertising that borders on deception, preying upon the uninformed. The home refinancing industry also has its share of fast- talking loan officers spewing outright false low-ball current mortgage rate quotes just to get you hooked.
Just as bad, are the inexperienced loan officers with little or no clue how to qualify the refinance home loan they just sold! Don't misunderstand, there are many experienced and reputable mortgage brokers and loan officers that provide honest and competitive refinance rate quotes and home loan refinancing program choices.
We just want to make you aware that there are companies and individuals in the home loan refinance business that may not have your best interest at heart.
Learning About Mortgage Refinancing
How Do I Start?
We have developed this refinancing site to build progressively on the subject matter. We suggest that you start out by clicking on the topics under the Refinance Menu Button of the tool bar and then work your way down through "Loan Types", "Credit Basics ", etc.
Before you begin..
Ask yourself one important question. "What is the purpose or goal for my refinance home loan?" I know, I know, this sounds too obvious, but you would be surprised how many people apply for home loan refinance mortgages without clear objectives in mind. There are many beneficial reasons for mortgage refinancing:
- Lower Mortgage Refinance Rates
- Lower Monthly Payment
- Switch from Adjustable to Low Fixed Rate Mortgage
- Home Improvement Project
- Get Cash Out
- Reduce Number of Monthly Mortgage Payments
- Shorten Mortgage Term
- Increase Credit Score
- Larger Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction
- Investment Opportunity
- Vacation
- Tuition
The list could go on and on, but I think you get the point. There can be one, or a number of goals that you have for your home loan refinance, and these goals will help you to narrow in on the mortgage refinancing program to achieve your objective for immediate and long-term financial benefit.
Thanks for stopping by! We hope you find our mortgage refnance information helpful. Our goal is to arm you with the home refinance tools and information you need to become better informed about the mortgage refinancing process.
Remember, you need more than just a mortgage calculator and current mortgage refinancing rates to get the greatest benefit for your new home loan!

Cell phone not functioning? It could be due to vibrations on the sun?or maybe right here on Earth. And did you know that psychologists have decided that cell phones cause a SPECIAL KIND of anxiety?
We all know about sunspots and solar flares, but for the first time, scientists have observed more subtle oscillations in the Sun's corona that send energy outward from the surface of the sun?energy that can disrupt cell phone calls.
Solar winds could shake magnetic materials, such as nickel, deep within the earth. In New Scientist, David Shiga quotes engineer David J. Thompson as saying, "It's a really odd kind of phenomenon. It's not a very violent shaking, but it is measurable."
But not all scientists agree that solar winds affect the earth in this way. Shiga quotes NASA's David Hathaway as saying, "It seems extremely unlikely to me."
Researcher Steve Tomczyk says that solar winds, called Alfv

Aho v. Suomen Tupakka Oy(Personal Injury, Helsinki City Ct 1988 Def Decision) Related Case: Prosecutor v. Virtanen
This Finnish personal injury suit was filed by Pentti Kalevi Aho against Suomen Tupakka Oy and Oy Rettig Ab, and Thor-Bjorn Lundqvist, Eino-Erkki Salo, Satu Kaarenoja, and Raimo Lintuniemi of Suomen Tupakka Oy, on May 6, 1988.
The plaintiff alleged that his illnesses were caused by smoking the defendants' cigarettes. He smoked Rettig's Klubi cigarettes from 1941 to 1966 and Suomen Tupakka's North State cigarettes from 1966 to 1986. He was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and emphysema in 1980, chronic laryngitis in 1985, and cancer of the larynx in 1986. He was declared permanently disabled in 1981. In 1988, his cancer had metastasized to his lung and he was treated for lung cancer. The plaintiff claimed the Finnish equivalent of failure to warn, concealment, negligence, product liability, violations of advertising laws and content regulations. The plaintiff sought compensatory damages totaling FIM 486,000, interests and legal costs.
On January 18, 1990, the plaintiff added criminal claims against the defendants for aggravated battery. The claim was concurrent with the plaintiff's tort claims. This increased the damages sought by FIM 200,000.
Suomen Tupakka argued that the plaintiff's long history of lung diseases and occupational exposure may have been the cause of his disease. Oy Rettig argued the statute of limitations had run in regard to their brand. Both companies admitted that smoking was a statistical cause of serious illness.
The case was heard in the City Court of Helsinki (Case No. 88/1623 (A1)). A judgment was rendered in favor of the defendants on February 6, 1992. A general principle in Finnish tort law held that the injured party bore the principle damage himself unless he can prove an obligation on the other party to pay damages. The 10 year statute of limitations governing tort law was not dependent on whether the injury had manifested, or if the plaintiff was aware of it, but measuring from the first diagnosis in 1979, the court found that the statute of limitations had not expired. Government regulation of tobacco made it so that knowledge of the harmful properties of tobacco would not establish liability for negligence. The plaintiff did not prove that the defendants had violated the regulations. The Tobacco Act prohibited advertising or promotion aimed at consumers, or concealing truthful information about the product. Before that was passed, the Food Stuff Act and Decree only applied to spoiled tobacco, so the defendants had no reason to assume they might be negligent. The plaintiff was aware of the harmful effects of tobacco both as a member of the general public, and through his specific education and exposure. The defendants' duty to warn of these danger did not take effect until after the Tobacco Act came into effect, by which time the plaintiff had a firm knowledge of the harms that such warnings would not have increased. The judge declined to determine the issue of causation, finding no negligence.
The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Helsinki Court of Appeals on March 6, 1992. The defendant responded March 23, 1992.

|This section of the walkthrough covers the first dungeon, Inside the Great Deku Tree. This is the Master Quest version of Ocarina of Time 3D so if you are playing the Nintendo GameCube version of the Master Quest, everything will be mirrored. (Right is left, left is Right).
- At the start of the battle, use either C-up or your Slingshot to look up at the queen on the ceiling, which will begin the battle. Although she looks pretty intimidating, she's a piece of cake.
- To harm Gohma, you have to use either Deku Nuts or your Slingshot when her eye is red (right before or after either of her "attacks"). This will cause her to fall down and be vulnerable to your sword. The Slingshot is by far the most effective. Regardless which way you do it, once she's stunned, smack the heck out of her for as long as you can.
- The easiest way to defeat her is to simply wait for her to climb on the ceiling and stun her then (this stun is far longer). If you do it right, you can finish this boss off in less than a minute.
- Use Z/L targeting, defend against her main attack with your shield. Shoot her with Fairy Slingshot whenever her eyes turn red to stun her (especially on the ceiling). Slash away. Repeat.

(Adds explanation for discount in sixth paragraph.)
Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Abengoa SA, Spain's largest developer of solar-thermal plants, raised 300 million euros ($395 million) by selling new shares to First Reserve Corp., increasing capital and allying with the U.S. private equity firm.
The Seville-based developer agreed to sell 17.142 million Class B shares at 17.50 euros each, above the 15.84-euro closing price yesterday of its common Class A shares, according to a filing today. First Reserve will also receive warrants to buy 4.02 million more Class B shares for 1 euro cent each. Abengoa dropped as much as 7.7 percent in Madrid trading.
The pioneer of plants that focus sunlight with mirrors to power steam turbines reinforced its capital with the help of a private investor as banks across Europe and the U.S. have put more conditions on energy-project loans. Abengoa said its corporate net debt will drop to 2.4 times corporate Ebitda from 3 times before the deal.
The company now "won´t have any financial stress for the next couple of years," Abengoa Chief Executive Officer Manuel Sanchez Ortega told analysts on a conference call. First Reserve must hold the shares for 30 months under the agreement.
The Class B stock, which doesn't trade, will pay Greenwich, Connecticut-based First Reserve cash equal to the dividend that ordinary stockholders receive though will have only 1/100th the voting rights of the A shares.
Abengoa said it agreed to offer the additional stock for only 1 euro cent to compensate for it being illiquid and to reward the buyer for investing during unstable markets.
The company's ordinary shares fell 1.09 euros to 14.75 euros at 4:14 p.m. local time.
'Ideally Positioned'
First Reserve, which invests in energy projects around the world, selected Abengoa because it has "market-leading positions in industries and geographies that we know well," First Reserve Chief Executive Officer William E. Macaulay said on the call. Abengoa "is ideally positioned to benefit from the global growth in energy infrastructure," he said.
The Spanish company said its U.S. partner, which will have a board seat, will jointly explore future business opportunities such as financing Abengoa's infrastructure projects, which range from aluminum recycling and water desalination to power- transmission lines.

NEW YORK, August 12, 2011—The recent border tensions between Kosovo and Serbia are revealing the presence of dual sovereignty in Kosovo's northern territory, dominated by ethnic Serbs. While the objective of Kosovo authorities is to integrate and extend the rule of law to its northern municipalities, the Government of Serbia is openly signaling its intention to partition Kosovo by supporting the illegal parallel institutions and the entrenched organized crime groups.
However, are Serbia's policies towards Kosovo in the best interest of the Kosovo Serb minority?
When Kosovo was under UN administration between 1999 and 2008, Serbia's objective was to prevent it from gaining independence. The successive governments in Belgrade exerted continuous pressure on Kosovo Serbs to boycott the authorities in Pristina. For Serbia, multiethnicity in Kosovo had to fail.
During this period, Serbia's negative propaganda campaign against Kosovo discouraged many Serb refugees from returning to their homes in Kosovo. A higher rate of refugee returns, at the time when Kosovo's status remained unsettled, would have threatened Serbia by bringing Kosovo closer to independence by meeting one of the key benchmarks defined by the UN in the "standards before status" process. Belgrade constantly depicted the situation in Kosovo as unsafe for the return of refugees, even though specialized UN agencies assessed the environment in Kosovo to be conducive to return. After years in displacement, many Serb refugees abandoned the idea of returning to Kosovo altogether after hearing the negative portrayal of Kosovo by Serbia.
In its efforts to deny Kosovo's progress and even defy its statehood, the Government of Serbia still uses financial and political means to pressure local Serb leaders to refuse to cooperate with the authorities in Pristina. For example, following Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008, the Government of Serbia demanded Kosovo Serbs resign from their posts in Kosovo's institutions, including the multiethnic Kosovo Police. Furthermore, Kosovo Serb retirees and poor families were required to quit receiving benefits from Pristina, even though this had an adverse effect on their well-being.
Belgrade's policies further contributed to the political and social isolation of Kosovo Serbs. Since 2004, Kosovo Serbs were dissuaded and pressured to boycott local and national elections in Kosovo. Consequently, local Serbs not only were barred from realizing their rights and enjoying the benefits of participating in Kosovo's political system, but also were divided between northern Kosovo Serbs in ethnically homogenous settlements and those scattered in towns and villages throughout Kosovo.
Serbia's efforts to partition Kosovo will have negative consequences for the majority of Kosovo Serbs. This division would disconnect the Serb communities residing in central and southern Kosovo (about 65 percent of Kosovo's 120,000 Serbs) from northern Mitrovica – their cultural and educational hub. Serbia would gain about 15 percent of Kosovo's territory, which encompasses only 35 percent of the total Serb community in Kosovo, and politicians in Belgrade would claim a modest victory with their nationalist constituency.
On the other hand, the partitioning of Kosovo would inevitably weaken the position of the remaining 80,000 Serbs in central and southern Kosovo. Their political leverage would decline at national level as the Albanian majority, claiming that Kosovo is no longer a multiethnic state, could amend the constitution to eliminate the reserved parliamentary seats for minorities. Moreover, the Government of Kosovo could abolish the recently established Serb municipalities that were meant to grant self-governance for Kosovo Serbs. Consequently, many Kosovo Serbs could predictably choose to leave Kosovo and move to northern Kosovo, Serbia, or elsewhere.
Serbia's policies towards Kosovo are not in best interest of Kosovo Serbs. The politicians in Belgrade are trying to save face in front of their influential nationalist electorate for loosing Kosovo in 2008. However, their political opportunism will have long-lasting consequences for the Kosovo Serbs and multiethnicity in the Balkans. These policies are inconsistent with liberal democracies, which embrace diversity and multiculturalism. Instead, they will only delay economic development and the EU integration process for the Western Balkans.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas
-- Of three challenges that made up the Battle of the Badges, it came down to the last one - a fire truck tug - where firefighters pulled away with the victory, becoming three-time champions of the friendly competition between Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph firefighters and security forces members at Randolph's Eberle Park and Camp Talon April 20.
The first challenge was a force-on-force game of Capture the Flag using simulated ammunitions, which are bullet-like paintballs fired from modified M-4 rifles.
The second challenge was a firefighter relay contest where two five-man teams in full gear lugged firefighting equipment up a staircase, carried a training dummy around two cones and sprayed a target with a hose.
The annual battle, which began three years ago, started as a friendly conversation between a security forces member and a fire chief, where the security forces member wanted to drive a fire truck, Maj. Gregory Bodenstein, 902nd Security Forces Squadron commander, said.
The squadrons now enjoy one day where they can do each other's jobs, even if it's just for fun and bragging rights.
Despite a spirit of gamesmanship, the challenges were practical.
"In a force-on-force scenario, we're defending and aggressing against an enemy; it's very serious and I saw this as training," Bodenstein said. "Training opportunities make sure we're better prepared in the real world."
Although security forces dominated Capture the Flag and firefighters won the firefighter relay, one's career field does not always guarantee a win for any given event, Bodenstein said.
"Last year's security forces team lost the force-on-force challenge," he said. "This year, failure wasn't an option on that event for my squadron, but there's no predetermined conclusion."
At the end of the day, however, Battle of the Badges was about building camaraderie.
"The challenges weren't easy," Airman 1st Class Brett Olsen, 902nd Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, said. "It felt good to win, but it was healthy competition."
Next year's Battle of the Badges may grow beyond Randolph.
"As the 502nd Air Base Wing transforms, security forces and firefighters will have a larger footprint within the wing," Bodenstein said. "There's an idea of making this a 502nd ABW-wide event."

The Bacon Weave Taco
I know that tacos with shells made out of bacon have been done before, but none of the ones I've seen looked very appetizing to me. It seems like people sort of took the easy way out when making them and just tossed their bacon over a metal object, made sure the strips overlapped a little so they'd stick together and either baked or deep fried it like that so their shells just end up looking like squares of bacon that had been folded in half. Long story short, most of the bacon taco shells out there just don't look very taco-shaped.
For my bacon taco shell I started off the same way I did when I made my Bacon Weave Quesdailla, by creating a square bacon weave, cooking it in my oven at 400° for about 15 minutes and then placing an upside down bowl over it and tracing around it with a knife until I was left with a circular bacon weave. After that I hung it over a couple kabob sticks that were balanced across empty beer bottles and left it like that for a few minutes so it would keep its shape. I'm sure that there was probably something better I could have draped it over, but you've gotta make do with what you've got right?
Since I wasn't quite sure if beer bottles were safe to put in the oven I swapped them out for a couple pint glasses, put them on a baking sheet, hung my bacon weave taco shell between them and slid it back into my oven for another ten minutes so it could finish cooking.
Granted, I'm sure the beer bottles would have been fine, but I didn't know if the labels would burn or if the glue that holds them to the bottle is toxic. Then again, when you're eating stuff like this on a regular basis a little bit of toxic glue should probably be the least of your worries….
In the end my Bacon Weave Taco ended up looking — and tasting — way better than I ever could have imagined. Once it was done baking I filled it to the brim with seasoned ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese and took a bite. It was completely amazing, and aside from that the shell actually looked exactly like a real taco shell!

What is your favorite non-special order bacon, basically the over the counter type, find in the local Piggly-Wiggly bacon. (I don't have Piggly-Wiggly near me, nor have I probably ever been to one, but when discussing Bacon, I found it appropriate)Reply
You should probably put watermarks to copyright your photos… I've seen your bacon taco photo twice in my Facebook lineup now without any reference to where they got it!!Reply
Bacon-weave taco shell? I'm listening.Reply
Where you at now, #Doritos Locos Tacos (yes, even you, Cool Ranch tacos)?Reply

I'll take the taco AND the bottle of Spotted Cow! You must be in Wisconsin!Reply
Your bacon taco is showing up everywhere! Kudos!Reply
Thanks! It's just a bummer that most of the people posting it don't mention where it came from or mention my blog at all.
Hey, just wanted to drop a line that I saw it on facebook, but I googled how to make it and your site popped up the top list. Although it's not credited to you, it certainly will drive traffic to your site.
Git in my Belly!!!Reply
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…Reply
I think you should find someone to mass produce and market these!Reply
What the hell is? Enough with the crazy bacon creations!!Reply
THIS GOODReply
just how many slices of bacon does it take to make just 1 taco? looks like 10-12 slices. Looks pretty expensive and, not to mention, a clog up of your last good artery.. lol With all that said, Im DEFINITELY gonna make it.. lolReply
I need someone to help me make this.Reply
I need someone to help me make this.Reply
My mouth is watering. Genius. Clearly you are a taco master. Although your pic is on several sites, I was able to get to the source very directly.
Wish I could have a bite of that taco right nowReply
Don't lose faith in humanity. Bacon Weaved Taco shells restore UR pride in human race.Reply
Genius! Definately going to try and make these Bacon Taco Shells!Reply
That taco shell is LEGENDARY!Reply
So hungry after seeing thisReply
My friend text me the pic and I googled it and got ur blog! I appreciate ur dedication to Bacon. I'm all over it!Reply
And now it's made it to "What's Hot" in Google+ without any credit
Good thing the top two results in google for almost anything related to bacon and taco point in the right direction!
I do love how you made this post on the same day I made a bacon taco (not nearly as good as this, but it still worked)!Reply
Yeah, it's pretty much everywhere at this point, but you're totally right, at least Google searches are pointing people in the right direction.
Oh bacon, what can't you do?Reply
"I know that tacos with shells made out of bacon have been done before, but none of the ones I've seen looked very appetizing to me.

Long story short, most of the bacon taco shells out there just don't look very taco-shaped."
Who cares what it looks like? Is it made out of bacon? Yes. Will it tast delicious? Yes. Will it make a turd? Yes. All you did was lessen the amount of bacon in the taco by cutting the corners off. That means you wasted bacon. FAIL.Reply
I didn't waste the bacon from the corners, I still ate it. It's not like I cut it off and just threw it in the trash.
I care what it looks like because in addition to tasting good, food should be visually appealing. If something doesn't look appealing do you really want to eat it? I don't.
The point was to make a delicious bacon shell taco that actually LOOKED like a taco, because the ones I've seen don't. It's like throwing a pile of meat and cheese on a plate and calling it a sandwich.
C'mon Jake!
You went through the process of writing something to say that? lol, to me thats a complete FAIL. smh
The bacon-weave taco takes gluttony to a whole new levelReply
Now that's a Taco!Reply
Where do you go from here? Doritos Locos shell on the outside of this?Reply
the bacon weave taco – this nigga has too much time on his hands- AND bacon-Reply
Had a comment about this and other bacon dishes you've mentioned… You're the Forest Gump of Bacon….. Yes, I'm a 90's child….Reply
This might be the best thing to come out of Milwaukee.Reply
sooooo….this is awesome.Reply
Would like this anyways, don't have a penis! But, I'm not going to throw it up if I eat one, … Great idea!!! I'm not super fat also cause I 'work out!' (LMFAO)Reply
Pls go vegan so I don't have to accidentally see this grotesquerie second hand on Fb. Thanx in advance from the innocent.Reply
Oh , and you make men look stupid w/ your title.
Hi Nick, I have a friend who her and her hubby LOVE bacon and always share crazy yummy photos. I can't eat pork and since I'm in health/fitness – she shares with me so I can make healthier versions. I asked her where she got this and she said Pinterest and didn't know. I googled taco shells made out of bacon and found this very same picture – thus your site. I'll make sure I link your URL to her post. Hopefully others will do the same. Keep up the great job. Fun stuff – that I can work on a healthier version. Warmest regards, LisaReply
for my 18 year old son who is 6'8″ and about 295 lbs….this would be PERFECT. He thinks that salad is his food's food…..go figure!Reply
I really want to make thisReply
Made this for my man he loved it!Reply
omg me and my family would love this thanks now to get my wife to make someReply
I am so going to try this tomorrow morning for Fathers Day. I am going to fill with eggs, peppers, onions and cheese! I hope it works, looks so good!Reply
I am glad I found your site. I believe as you do that visual appeal is part of the process. As to contents have you tried scrambled eggs and hashbrowns in it yet?Reply
Dear LORD! I suggest mass production of these bacon shells…SOON!! It feels like I just found Heaven! Thank you, God, for making pigs & for making people to make BACON SHELLS outta pigs!! Genius idea!Reply
I would truly love to see a video of this in the making!Reply
Can you imagine? This is probably close to zero carbs, and guess what, I eat strictly low carbs, yes, this must be heaven!Reply
This is awesome. In the 90s, the Taco Bell by my house in VA did BLT soft tacos. It was a soft taco shell, crumbled bacon, lettuce, tomato, and ranch dressing. I'm going to try this, but I'm going to make it a BLT Taco and only stuff it with lettuce and tomato. I'll add some ranch dressing for throwback tastebud purposes.
Thanks for the great taco post! I look forward to eating it!Reply
Thank you Nick!!! In my book you are a GENIUS!!! My Family LOVES BACON and Taco's. I am going to make this the next time we make taco's, I will surprise the family with them. I will make them for breakfast for sure, instead of the breakfast burrito's and fruit. I will do an omelet filled taco shell…now that sounds real good.Reply
I reposted your bacon taco shell on my facebook page… I gave all the credit to you and your blog.
Thank you again for your creative idea. You truly are a Genius.
If you drink good beer like Spotted Cow or Hofbrau, removing the labels is easy. Just put them in the dishwasher. It will take the labels right off. Also a good way to clean bottles if you are brewing your own beer.Reply
Hope you got that patentedReply
i like itReply
im gonna cook itReply
its gonna taste goodReply
This looks verrrry good! especially for a quick breakfastReply
Just make the very good Bacon Taco
For some reason the word "Weave" in the name is cracking me up. But I'm from Wauwatosa originally so what do I know.Reply
BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0Reply
Must be sent from the sky above. This recipe is going to be my favorite. I mean, who doesn't love bacon and to add my all time meal, le mac n' cheese. I definitely have to try this out.
Question. How does it shell hold up while eating, will it crack and break apart and turn into like a taco/bacon salad?

The last one is the most comprehensive one as it scans your computer thoroughly and may include files shared with the operating system in the scan results.
Backup and batch uninstallation mode
Total Uninstall lets you back up files and registry items so you can restore them in the future in case any problems may appear.
Utilities can be removed in a single or batch mode. The first one allows you to delete all data included in the analysis or use the program's built-in uninstaller while the second empowers you to uninstall multiple apps at the same time.
A system restore point is automatically created before removing any program from the list, and you can view detailed information about the deletion operation, such as uninstall log with total successful actions, errors and warnings, as well as full path of each deleted file, folder and registry key.

Total Uninstall creates a pre-install system snapshot of the registry and file system so you can compare it with a new snapshot taken after the target's installation.
The built-in Cleaner gives you the possibility to get rid of unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that may take extra space on the system.
Configuration settings
Total Uninstall offers support for context menu integration for monitoring programs and lets you alter the analysis and uninstall profiles (changing their names and adding descriptions, adjusting the levels for detecting program settings and shredding files instead of sending them to the Recycle Bin).
When it comes to cleaning junk files, you can make the program search for invalid entries (e.g. missing shared DLLs, file references, MSI paths) and file system data (e.g. Windows log files, memory dumps, temporary folders, browsing info for IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Maxthon).
An advanced and powerful uninstaller
Taken into consideration its powerful mix of features that allow you to uninstall programs including registry entries and other leftover files, Total Uninstall proves to be a reliable tool which is mainly geared toward professional users.

Blues is a state of mind, lifestyle, frame of reference, ideology and indeed a state of being. This is where Butch Mudbone lives. A good bluesman must experience and understand the pain and suffering intrinsic to the human condition, then work with it and mold it into a song. This can be done either with writing original material or by interpreting in a personal way the works of former masters, such as Robert Johnson.
This is Butch Mudbone's world. The expression of his blues embraces all of the music's history which proceeded him. He is equally comfortable in solo performance or with his band, the Wolfpack, who can chum out a searing blues or modem rhythmic funk.

Disciples, Mudbone repeatedly has performed in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and Canada In the United States he has worked venues, such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (28 years), Monterey Jazz Festival, Delta Blues Festival, Tucson Blues Festival, Ojai Bowlful of Blues and the Memphis Blues Festival. He's opened shows for B.B. King, James Brown, John Lee Hooker, James Cotton and a host of others.

Sony is hoping to make a big dent in the smart phone market with its new "X-Peria Z 2."
The company announced the new smart phone yesterday on its website. It has a bigger battery and screen, more ram, an upgraded processor, and 4-K video recording. It's expected to be released next month. Sony is also releasing an "X-Peria Z 2″ tablet that's waterproof next month in Europe.
Samsung is unveiling two new smart watches that customers can buy in April. They'll have health sensors and fitness features included.
Blackberry says its messaging service BBM will be available to the Windows phone and the new Android-based Nokia X devices. BBM launched for Android and Apple devices last year.
And, streaming movies and TV shows on Netflix should get faster. The online video service has reportedly reached a deal with Comcast to ensure that its programs are streamed smoothly to households. The Wall Street Journal reports the agreement allows Netflix to connect directly to the internet service provider's broadband network. Netflix and online providers have been at odds over the huge amount of bandwidth used by streaming video. Netflix content like the popular House of Cards and Orange is the New Black accounts for nearly a third of evening internet traffic. There's worry the deal will result in higher prices for customers.
That's your Daily Tech.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) – SanDisk (SNDK) investors have made a lot of money. That's the most understated way I can put it. The stock is up nearly 50% for the year to date and 175% over the past two years.
Given that shares have soared more than 500% over the past five years, investors are faced with the decision of when to cash out. It's a problem market participants everywhere wish they had. The stock closed Monday at $105.59, only percentage points away from a new 52-week high.
Although trigger fingers are inchy, it would be foolish to abandon a winner like SanDisk, especially before management completes the company's transition into the enterprise.
>>For Yahoo!, Earnings Means More of the Same>>Why JPMorgan Is Undervalued on Long-Term Earnings Growth Estimates SanDisk's recent $1.1 billion all-cash deal for Fusion-io (FIO) positions the company on an accelerated path to become the name in enterprise SSD storage (solid-state drive), surpassing the likes of Seagate (STX) and Western Digital (WD) Like Seagate and Western Digital, SanDisk has avoided a complete collapse of the hard disk market. As Big Data titans EMC (EMC) and NetApp (NTAP) have proven, growth in enterprise storage can be lucrative. That and SanDisk's exposure to the gaming industry, which has adopted the SSD standard, will prove highly profitable. By 2016, the total addressable market for enterprise SSDs will grow to more than $8 billion, more than doubling the current market. All of this supports a $130 stock price in the next 12 to 18 months when factoring Fusion-io's accretive potential for double-digit earnings-per-share starting in 2015. That enterprise SSD will grow to $8 billion is only one bullish factor. SanDisk's long-term vision of how the data center will change is the larger objective. SanDisk wants to emerge as a leader in the flash-transformed data center. This transformation will help customers like Apple and Facebook better manage their heavy data workloads. When that market fully takes shape, SanDisk, which has a strong global scale, will have enough leverage to compete with market incumbents like EMC and NetApp. It will be able to grow its revenue in ways that that it would have taken Fusion-io decades to do without the deal.

Associated Press - First, a dash of dirt. Next, a sprinkling of water. A little hand mixing and pretty soon Willie Bloomquist was covered in mud. The year of the dirty walk-off is getting awfully messy in the desert.
Bloomquist lined his third hit for a run-scoring single in the 10th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks celebrated with what has become their typical grimy walk-off celebration after beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Wednesday.
The Diamondbacks have gone through an up-and-down season, leaving their playoff hopes clinging by a thread. When it comes to pulling off the walk-off, they've been one of baseball's best.
Against the Blue Jays, Arizona rallied from a three-run deficit after shaky first inning by Randall Delgado. Diamondbacks pitchers faced the minimum from then until the 10th inning, when Will Harris (3-0) worked around a baserunner to keep the game tied in Arizona's franchise record-tying 21st extra-inning game.
Eric Chavez got the final rally started by blooping a single off Luis Perez (0-1) and pinch-runner Adam Eaton moved to third on A.J. Pollock's single off Jeremy Jeffress.
Late on a previous pitch by Jeffress, Bloomquist lined a 1-2, 100-mph fastball off the right-hander through the right side of Toronto's drawn-in infield, sending his teammates rushing onto the field.
The NL West leader for most of the season's first half, Arizona has labored since the All-Star break while the Los Angeles Dodgers have surged ahead. Even with the win, the Diamondbacks were 13 games behind the Dodgers in the division and eight behind the Reds in the NL wild-card race.
If only all their games went to extra-innings or came down to the last at-bat; Arizona is 16-5 in extra-inning games this season and has 13 wins in its last at-bat.

Most Successful Driver in Formula One Michael Schumacher
Michael Schumacher may be the greatest Formula 1 driver of twenty-first century and also the most effective driver in F1. The seven-time world champion, that has introduced his decision to retire in the finish of year, stated five straight game titles between 2000 and 2004.
Michael Schumacher's monumental accomplishments came into being via a perfect storm of the extremely gifted and difficult-working driver, ground-breaking technical achievement, a bottomless pit of cash along with a callous management that used every last avenue to the benefit.
The 43-year-old first upon the market in 2006 before coming back to Formula 1 with Mercedes this year.
Schumacher's second stint within the sport hasn't gone in addition to he'd have loved, using the German controlling only one podium finish, at Valencia captured, in three seasons.
However, Brawn states he has performed a huge role at Mercedes behind the curtain and thinks he'll make a vital contribution to the future success they likes.

They've been "tested" by some of the West's better teams and came away with a perfect score.
Now, the Lakers face a far more difficult challenge -- staying motivated to play some of the league's lesser teams.
The unbeaten Lakers play seven of their next eight games at home against teams, such as New Jersey, Chicago and Sacramento. Only two of those eight opponents possess winning records -- Detroit (6-2) and Phoenix (6-3). Denver and Toronto are .500 clubs.
Coach Phil Jackson shrugged off the notion of a letdown Thursday, saying that they will be taking it "one game at a time."

Rep. Gingrey Reviews H.R. 3630
Today, the House is expected to vote on H.R. 3630, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011, which addresses several key issues that must be resolved by the New Year.
In order to create jobs and foster energy independence, this bill directs President Obama to act on the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that has been delayed for more than three years. Approving the pipeline will reduce energy prices and our dependence on foreign oil while creating up to 118,000 jobs nationwide—at absolutely no cost to taxpayers.
This pipeline could also create jobs for Georgians. Once the Keystone oil reaches Houston, it will be shipped by existing pipelines to Rome, Atlanta, North Augusta, and Athens for customers. With millions of barrels of Middle Eastern oil shipped to us daily and the unemployment rate at 9 percent, we cannot afford to wait any longer.
H.R. 3630 also includes a two-year "doc-fix" on Medicare reimbursement rates for physicians. Right now, hospitals and Medicare physicians are facing drastic cuts. Without this fix, seniors may have difficulty finding doctors able to treat them. While I am committed to a long-term solution, this temporary fix will allow seniors to keep their physicians while giving Congress time to replace the SGR formula.
As I've said before, Washington has a spending problem—not a revenue problem. Raising taxes during a recession won't eliminate our nation's budget issues. H.R. 3630 extends the payroll tax holiday for middle class workers for another year. The bill reforms government programs and gradually reduces unemployment insurance from 99 to 79 weeks, and ultimately 59 weeks. In addition, it freezes federal pay, closes Obamacare "slush funds", and reforms the welfare system by prohibiting individuals from accessing welfare funds in strip clubs, liquor stores, and casinos. This overhaul will save billions over the next ten years.
Next year, House Republicans will continue to focus on job creation while taking up other critical issues. However, H.R. 3630 begins to address debt reduction, welfare reform, and job creation. I urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to support this critical legislation.

I don't know how much longer this one will be here, so if you are invested in those Coombs comments, make copies for yourselves.
This post is inspired by the recent "Post your brick walls" meme I've seen around, especially at the Nutfield Genealogy blog.
I thought I would have some adorable Christmas photo to put here, but I am out of town visiting family and don't have my regular computer with my photos. So imagine something cute and festive. Happy holidays to my readers! Happy family tree climbing in the coming year!
In the first few decades of the 1900s, several of my ancestors traveled from Newfoundland to Butte, Montana to work in the mines there. According to Wikipedia, Butte was one of the most unionized towns in America at the time, due to labor activism among the miners. I wonder how that experience shaped the Newfoundlanders' responses when they came back East and worked as longshoremen, another industry with serious labor organizations. My grandfather worked at different times as a fisherman (where he lost a finger), a miner, an ironworker (where he lost an eye), and finally as a longshoreman. His longshoremen's union pension was a big part of my grandparents' retirement security. I remember how angry my grandparents were during the Reagan years when they heard anti-union arguments. Their Newfoundland brogues would get thicker and they would try to explain how the bosses always wanted to get rid of the unions and the workers always suffered without unions.
I've been thinking about them a lot during the recent weeks of attacks on teachers' unions.
I missed a few weeks of these due to the start of the new semester.
The house I grew up in was a third-floor apartment in a typical Boston style triple-decker. It was a long hallway with the parlor at one end and the kitchen and dining room at the other, with bedrooms off both sides of the long hallway. It was very noisy because you could hear what everyone else was doing, and it was near the airport so jets roared overhead all day long. I got pretty good at tuning things out.
It was too crowded. When I was small we had a parlor and a dining room and a playroom for all our toys, but as we got older and there were more of us, all the rooms were turned into bedrooms and we just had a kitchen and a dining room/living room as shared space. There was only one bathroom, so it was a challenge for everyone to get ready and get out to work in the morning. Things were always interfering or in the way: someone's music was drowning out your TV, or someone's project on the dining room table was interfering with dinner. At one point I was sharing a bedroom with both of my sisters. We each had a single bed and a couple of bureau drawers and a tall industrial-type metal shelf (spraypainted bright colors). All our stuff had to fit in that space if we wanted to keep it.
It was an old building with a neglectful landlord and things were always leaking or breaking. But it was affordable so we stayed and stayed and stayed. I even moved back in there for awhile when I ran out of money during grad school. I love living alone now because it feels so luxurious to have all my space to myself without interference. That probably sounds more antisocial than I really am — I do enjoy having houseguests and visiting other people! But I really love living alone.
I am going to try to keep up with the weekly prompts from Geneabloggers this year. I've added the theme badge to the sidebar.
This week's prompt asks about family New Year's traditions. I have to say that I don't really remember any. Christmas was so family intensive that by New Year's Eve we were more willing to go our own way, out with friends or to parties or whatever. Boston's First Night was a big draw for some, though I never saw the charm of shivering my way through a freezing city all night. Those of us who stayed home would usually send out for Chinese food and watch movies on TV. We would only switch on the countdown clock in the last few minutes, and then we'd toast one another and either go to bed or finish the movie. It was really not a big deal for us.
I believe that some of my family still practice the ritual of sending out for Chinese food on New Year's. I am at an age where takeout Chinese food does not agree with me, so I have dropped that tradition.
My grandparents were married on New Year's Eve, which I think is terribly romantic. But apart from that I have no strong family associations with the holiday. It was always a very makeshift thing with us.
Of course, I hope that my readers had a great First Night however they went about it, and that a wonderful 2011 awaits us all!

I've applied for every help that I can think of and am always told that I make too much money. Of course, all they look at is your GROSS income for the month. Who the heck lives on their gross income anyway??
So, today I call our gas company to get on their budget billing program . . . I'm told that we have to clear up our outstanding bill before they can set us up . . . HELLO, I can't pay the bill, that's why I want to get on the program in the first place!! (And we're gonna need another shipment in the next few days :( )
Called our county social services, but they aren't able to help at all either . . . All I can do is keep praying.
Sorry, I just needed to vent about the problems :(
Hope you are all having a terrific day!! :)

DH was laid off end of January and we will be feeling the pinch even tighter soon. I've been a Stay-at-home mom for about 2 years and did a stint last summer at dept. store in their phot department..it was a disaster with babysitting issues, so I'm really hesitant to go that route again, plus I'm pregnant...so...ugh!!
My DH hasn't even been getting calls for interviews :( Unfortunately, the field he is in (computers) is crappy right now, so he is figuring he is going to have to change just haven't figured out where yet and in the meantime continues to send out resumes & networking for the something in his field.
All I can offer you is hugs & good luck and let you know that there are others here that understand your frustration, etc...

If your DH is uncomfortable calling the interveiwer, then he should go over with you how the interveiw went, what was said, anything he can recall about the interveiw and maybe you can pick up on something that DH can change. Perhaps he was to vocal regarding personal issues like family situation {{just an example}} Interveiws shoudl last about 30 minutes. THe interveiwer should be asking the majority of the questions and the interveiwee should have some questions related to the company when asked at the end "Do you have any questions?"
I would be more than happy to help you out on this. Also, if DH is getting interveiws then it would seem to reason that there isn't anything flagrantly wrong with his resume and perhaps something wrong with his interveiwing or it might just be that he is interviewing against some other more qualified interviewees.

Fire knows playoff implications vs. conference-foe Dynamo
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media July 26, 2013 10:07PM
Fire striker Chris Rolfe knows what it's like to fall short in a playoff chase. | Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Updated: August 28, 2013 6:17AM
When the Fire was off to the worst start in franchise history earlier this season, there wasn't a player on the roster who showed even a semblance of panic.
But leading up to the Fire's game Saturday night at Houston, every player and coach is well aware of the impact the game will have on the Major League Soccer playoff picture. The Dynamo holds the fifth and final spot in the Eastern Conference, five points ahead of the Fire.
''The way we started the season and how the season progressed, getting into the end of July and the beginning of August, it's time to really turn it up,'' striker Chris Rolfe said. ''The games are starting to really count for a lot more, and the games get more competitive across the board.''
No team is more attuned to the perils of the last three months of the season than the Fire. It looked to be in control of its playoff destiny at this time last season, still vying for the top spot in the conference. But the Fire fell to fourth and was forced into a play-in game, which it lost.
This week, the Fire added Ecuadorian striker Juan Luis Anangonó. Though the move is expected to pay its greatest dividends in future seasons, the 24-year-old Anangonó still provides additional offense the Fire will need down the stretch.
Last season's demise was caused in large part by a lack of offense. Anangonó has good size, the ability to get behind defenders and can hold the ball up top when needed. That could make him a useful substitute.
''You go through that period where you go through a slide,'' midfielder Patrick Nyarko said. ''So the more points you can get, the better. Right now is the point in history where most teams have gained ground or fall off.''
