How cool is this… Gone Hoggin BBQ Team
Gotta love this. I got a shout out on another teams Pitmasters tape. I thank them for that. Very cool!!! Hope they make it on the show. Good people. Great BBQ'ers!!! Paul Huff & Mike Galasso (** Also best of luck to Fat Angel they are an awesome team as well!!! ***)
If you are in their area give them a shout for all your BBQ catering needs!!
New Logo for Diva Q –
Deciding to change my logo was a very hard decision. I knew it was coming it was just a matter of time. I love my pig. I love the way she looks and I love her attitude and sass. For merchandising though she is not so great she is a complicated piggie. Sooo many colors and so much going on. I tried to streamline her. In the end though it was time for a change.
I had to define who what where and when all about Diva Q. I had to figure out where I was going to go with the logo. That lead me to having a couple of conversations with some folks who have logos I really like- Ray Lampe (Dr. BBQ) Jason Day ( Burnt Finger BBQ + BBQ Addicts), Darren (Smokey D's) Joey Mac's Smoke Stax, Dave Raymond (Sweet Baby Rays) and a few others. In addition I contacted some terrific people I know who excel at marketing in BBQ and other areas.
The entire process has been really all encompassing. Jason Day recommended a site called 99designs.com. It is a really interesting concept where you run a design contest. You decide how much your budget can handle. You write an entire summary about yourself or your Company and what your requirements are. Some of the designs were really out there. Some I wish I liked more because the designer put a lot of thought into the process. I made the decision to post some of the 240 design submissions I received on my facebook fan page. Some of the feedback was really helpful. I wanted to ensure that whatever logo I picked would be well received by both males and females. My target audience has always been both however at the end of the day Men are still the primary purchasers of BBQ items .
Also taking a look at myself I would never ever want to put a tiara or bling on anything. Thats just not me. I think of the Diva part of the name as being a woman that is really determined. That is me- determined to get better at BBQ. I never really associated it with the pink crown and tiara program. Also I wear black 100% of the time on the circuit and a lot at home too.
So here it is the new Diva Q logo. Its pretty straightforward. Simple, easy to read, recognizable and with just a bit of sass. Just like me.
Its here !!! The new Traeger 300 has arrived in Canada
Well today has been a very exciting BBQ day!! I got to see the new Traeger 300 in person right after it was unloaded. It is even more impressive in person. Really solid design. I am looking forward to playing on one in the upcoming weeks.
Here are some pictures of the unit
As soon as I get the spec sheet I will update this post!

Herb Crusted Prime Rib
No special day here or anything buts it's not often I get to have prime rib.
Was feeling a bit out of sorts earlier today on a personal level but I will say that spending a bit of time in the kitchen doing some prep lifted my spirits. There is something strangely & immensely satisfying about smashing the crap out of a whole bunch of herbs and garlic using a mortar and pestle. Today's crust was made with a lot of savory, thyme, 6 cloves of garlic, some beautiful New Zealand sea salt (thanks Angie!!) , black peppercorns and some canola oil. I pounded my little heart out (seriously I really need to bring the mortar and pestle out more often) and came up with a lovely herb mash.
The prime rib was lovely. I just love the look of raw meat. I love seeing the striations of marbling. Just beautiful.this prime rib weighed approx 6 lbs
On went the slather and into the fridge for a couple of ours.
My children were seriously not impressed at this point. At this point they were giving me the oh my goodness you can't possibly expect us to eat that for dinner tonight looks. Any parent can relate to that.
It was a lovely smelling prime rib and the color was coming along nicely. Off to the kitchen to prep some veggies to accompany our dinner. Had some portobellos with some Wisconsin Parmesan that I picked up on our last travels to the US. Its a nicely aged cheese. Lovely to eat on its own. Not sure I would use it again on the portobellos. Just didn't have enough oomph.
Then one of my all time favorite veggies – asparagus! Love love love asparagus grilled. So do the kids. Ok 2 out of 3 of the kids love it. The other (Chaos causing , tiny terrorist also known as my son Gabe) child has determined it looks too much like a plant. I grated the rind from a really large lemon and sprinkled it on the asparagus as well as a really fragrant lemon olive oil. Salt & pepper was added as well.
The Natives were getting restless at this point and it took everything in me to keep them all (including husband) occupied until the prime rib had rested for enough time.
Overall dinner was lovely. The prime rib was delicious. I love herb crusts on beef.
Throwing my Hat in the Ring : BBQ Pitmasters
Well I never made any secret of it. I made a DVD and am submitting it to BBQ pitmasters today. I have no clue if I fit the bill or if I will get to be on it but I at least can say I tried. Its better to have tried and failed then never to have tried at all. Who knows if they want a mom of 3 from the suburbs. I don't come from a BBQ background. I didn't grow up in the South. I didn't even try really great BBQ until a few short years ago. Plus theres that whole I am a Canadian Chick in the pits thing. Oh and seriously I don't look a model. I don't own a jambo. I use pellets and charcoal. I don't have a fancy schmancy rv. I sleep on a military cot in my bare bones yet functional cargo trailer. Hmmm. Oh well. At the end of the day no one knows if they have what they are looking for. This I do know for sure. I can talk well on TV. Cameras don't scare me, I am unlike anyone else out there and I know I make some really damn fine BBQ. I hope all my BBQ friends have submitted tapes. goodness knows there are a whole lot of really interesting personalities out there.
Over the last two weeks I have received tons of emails and talked to lots of BBQ folk about the new season. The responses are really varied. Some are very cynical and state they think JM already has his picks and he is doing this to keep people off his back. Others say this is just a ploy to get more attention. Personally I don't really care one way or another. I think its a good idea to ask for submissions. Makes sense to me.
Additionally some people have stated they hate the new format already. Um I am not sure I understand this since none of use really know what exactly the new format is. Right now its just a bunch of talk. A bunch of guesses.Seriously Ill reserve judgment for when I actually see the new format.
This is what was posted from John Markus Exec Producer BBQ Pitmasters:
It's official. Our new format features FOUR different pitmasters competing in EACH episode. We are looking to augment our cast from last season and welcome all interested cooks to throw their aprons in the ring.

TLC To Revamp `BBQ Pit Masters' Series
Network To Knead Reality Show Into Competition Format
by R. Thomas Umstead — Multichannel News, 3/15/2010 12:11:53 PM
TLC is hoping to add some sizzle to its freshman cooking reality series BBQ Pit Masters by changing its programming recipe from a docu-reality show to a competition-based series for its second season.
The new season will feature a weekly competition between several chefs, with each weekly winner eventually squaring off against each other in the final episode, according to TLC officials. The show will feature BBQ Pit Masters stars such as Myron Mixon and Le Ann Whippen in "some capacity" on the show, said TLC officials.
BBQ Masters joins Cake Boss, Ultimate Cake Off and Cupcake Sisters as cooking-related shows on the Discovery Communications-owned network this year.
Overall I think no matter what its just more exposure for competition BBQ and really I think thats whats most important. Get it out there to more of the public. Let them know how much fun it is. How great the people are.
Rhino's Road Trip
One of my favorite things to do when we are traveling is to try new BBQ joints all over North America. I love the chance to visit with folks all over and to hear their stories and their BBQ methods.
I am not alone in this pursuit there are many folks and foodies that really enjoy the pursuit of BBQ. These are not high end edited videos. These are just people that are going out and sharing their love of BBQ with everyone out there.
One of those fine folks is Jim "Rhino" Reincke from Bandit BBQ a competition team and BBQ Caterer.He is also a member of the Illinois BBQ Society.
His video on You tube is a great example of the continual pursuit of BBQ.
Here is a video on a BBQ Snoot sandwich in Illinois
Check out his videos and commentary on his You Tube Channel.
This year I may even have to take out a video camera myself and share some of the places we stop along our travels. It seems like a great idea to share all these great and interesting places we stop at.

Tuesday, 1:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. London -- Going for Gold for All Moms
I just saw that Kerri Walsh Jennings, a mom of two, and her partner, Misty May-Treanor, won their semi-final match, sending them to the finals tomorrow and putting them one step closer to their third consecutive Olympic gold medal. This one is extra special, Kerri's mom told me last week, because she's hoping to show everyone that you can be as great after kids as you were before. Plus it's her last match with May-Treanor, who is retiring. This reporter/working mom will be rooting extra hard for Kerri and Misty tomorrow.
Tuesday, 12:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. London -- Gold for Aly!
A beaming Aly Raisman proudly displayed her new gold medal, after a magnificent floor exercise routine put her on top of the medals platform. Aly and her coach knew she soared on the floor, and the judges agreed, awarding her 15.6. Aly would then have to wait for five other gymnasts to perform before learning if her score was good enough for gold -- and it was! Aly also won a bronze earlier in the balance beam event final (Gabby Douglas placed seventh) and adds today's gold and bronze to the team gold the "Fab Five" won last week, making her the most decorated U.S. gymnast of the Games. What a great way to end the women's gymnastics competition. Go Aly!
Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. ET/4:30 p.m. London -- Disappointing End
These were not the Olympics 2011 World Champion Jordyn Wieber had hoped for, as she failed to qualify in the all-around competition and then placed seventh out of eight women in the floor exercise event final today. You could see the disappointment on her face after a bobble or two during her performance. That said, she will forever be known as an Olympic gold medalist, winning gold along with her teammates in the team final last week. I'm really looking forward to interviewing Jordyn tomorrow at the P&G Family Home.
Tuesday, 8:30 a.m. ET/1:30 p.m. London -- Not Enough Superlatives to Describe Team GB's Joy
I really think this country might explode with delight after another historic day at the London Games. Two brothers, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, took the gold and bronze in the men's triathlon, becoming the first Brits to win medals in the event.
Tuesday, 7:00 a.m. ET/12:00 p.m. London -- Taking the Kids to Watch History in the Making
The British spirit was on full display as the men's triathlon made its way through central London this morning. I met a lovely mom named Charlotte Ash, who brought her two girls, ages 12 and 6, to watch the action firsthand, knowing it might be a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to have the Olympics just an hour's train ride from her Cambridge home. "I think they're loving it, I think they've never seen anything like this, and you know, they're enjoying waving their flags and watching the sport and [I'm] hoping it might encourage them to do a bit more themselves."
Tuesday, 6:30 a.m. ET/11:30 a.m. London -- Keep Smiling!
One of the best quotes of the day came from an Olympic volunteer outside the tube (London's subway system) as I headed to Hyde Park, a location in central London, to watch the men's triathlon. The cheerful man said, "Please keep smiling all the way to Hyde Park." I did!

Jane Austen's works have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity since the success of several motion picture adaptations of her novels. She wrote the novels Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma.
©2003 Jane Austen; (P)2006 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
The Book Doctor
"Jane Austen Comes Alive in Audio"
This was the only Jane Austen book I hadn't read yet, and I loved listening to it. . I was concerned that I would get less out of an audio version of the book, but this experience made me wonder if I should listen to the others she wrote as well.
The point when Anne and Wentworth are finally able to speak freely about their feelings for each other is beautifully done. This is quite a bit more thorough than her other books are when the hero and heroine work out their differences, so it was very satisfying.
It was quite enjoyable and Michael Page did a fantastic job creating distinct and recognizable voices for each character that added to my sense of them as people. I also felt his fluency with the somewhat archaic language of Austen's time was easy to understand and made it feel very fresh and contemporary. Someone who doesn't like classics might even enjoy this book given his abilities.
Better late than never, Patience is a Virtue, or Don't Succumb to Persuasion.
Ben There
"Wish there was more romance narrated by men."
Persuasion is probably my favorite Austen romance. As this was my second Audible book, I don't have a lot of listening experience for comparison but I found the narrator easy to follow and the story engaging. I read it on a long road trip and the hours flew by. I really appreciated have the book read by a man. Not only do I find male voices easier to understand but it was much more romantic to have a man part of the story.
"Even a great narrator couldn't save this one!"
Michael Page was an entertaining and talented narrator for this book. He performed a wide range of male and female voices and really was very consistent and competent. Unfortunately, I found the story boring at best and annoying at worst. I know that Persuasion was written by the revered Jane Austen but I didn't like it. I know that the characters portrayed are as she saw members of the various strata of society and they may very well be accurate. However, I could barely stand listening to 8 hours of narrow minded, nasty, snobbish, judgmental ramblings. Many, many people love this book. Don't know why but to each his own.
The book wasn't the problem.
The narrator read like those in the first computer games I ever saw. Every sentence had the same inflection and was robotic. No acting here.
SciFi/Fantasy and Classics to History, Adventure and Memoirs to Social Commentary—I love and listen to it all!
Dearest Michael Page, the respected narrator,
I love you, really I do. Your work in "The Lies of Locke Lamora," where you elevate the interjection/expletives of "Sh**!" and "F***!" to veritable art is amazing. And I'm totally enjoying your narration of "Ivanhoe."
So when I saw that, after purchasing "Persuasion," my favorite Jane Austen, on kindle for free would get me your version of it for .99 on Audible, it was a no brainer. And that was the problem. It's my fault, really it is: I should've used my brain.
A man? Doing Jane Austen?
No disrespect, and you do well, so well, with the general narrative, but really! Your female voices, and with J.Austen there are many, many of them, are dreadful. You've warped them into general caricatures, some whiny, some laughably imperious. Only Anne is delivered as a normal person, but her level-headedness comes off as masculine.
It's my fault, and I'm so sorry.
But I just couldn't finish this.
Maybe Anne should say sh** and f***?
An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.
"Austen heroine survives to thrive!"
This was an enjoyable book but not even the best Jane Austen. The story revolves around Anne Elliott and the love of her life Capt. Frederick Wentworth. Anne is "persuaded" to break an engagement to him at age 19 as he is not considered "suitable" enough by her snobbish father and sister.
He comes back into her life when she is 28 and still unmarried. The mistakes and unintentional motives each attests to the other cause much heartache for both, until finally a happy ending can be attained.
I enjoyed the talks Anne had with the Admiral and also her "poor" friend Mrs. Smith who lets her know what kind of man her cousin Mr. Elliott truly is. Austen at her best, showing snobs and upper crust people how shallow their lives really are.
I wasn't thrilled with Mr. Page's narration. He tended to make any woman except Anne sound like a dowager matron, even though they could be just a few years younger or older than Anne. I found it especially distracting with her sister Mary. Yes, Mary was a hypochondriac snob who drove her family crazy, but she wasn't 104!
No extreme reactions, but I know what to expect in an Austen novel. There were plenty of smiles and a few chuckles and I was afraid for awhile that one or the other of our loving couple would end up married to the wrong person.
This is a good listen, not too long but lots of fun. Anne Elliott and Frederick Wentworth are a great couple and you will be genuinely interested in their plight.

Welcome to the website of the Museum of Art & Archaeology at the University of Missouri! Here you'll find a brief overview of the Museum's programs and offerings. You'll also be introduced to some of the remarkable collections held by the Museum, and learn some of the stories behind those objects.
But Museums aren't just collections of things, however significant or beautiful. They're also collections of people - people sharing a common passion for studying, documenting and interpreting the world's artistic and archaeological traditions, and also sharing an uncommon commitment to the development and preservation of the collections for the benefit of future generations. They form an unbroken chain from earlier generations of Museum staff to the Museum professionals of today. In these pages you'll meet some of them, as we try to put a human face on the Museum's ongoing research projects and interpretive programs.
While we hope this website answers some of your questions about the Museum, it's designed to whet your appetite rather than to satisfy it. Nothing takes the place of an actual visit, of being engaged by authentic works of art or objects from antiquity, and being inspired by the achievements of peoples spanning six continents and more than seven millennia. We look forward to welcoming you to the Museum of Art & Archaeology.

his offerings to include many other urological products.

Foley catheter, the heart-pacing catheter, the arterial prosthesis and
the angioplasty catheter.

should strengthen the wellness of our communities and help improve the
quality of life of people around the world," commented Tim Ring,

The Politics of Bailing Out
This is a video of our Senator Barbra Boxer busting on John McCain's theatrics.
Is the credit crisis too close to home? The Columbia Journalism Review asks if Andrea Mitchell should be covering anything about the financial crisis. Hm? That would be like Maria Shriver covering the recall. Right? Or the budget crisis? Or her husband's politics over the Cawleefornia and so on and so forth…
The best thing that John McCain ever did for Sarah Palin, besides setting the stage for her to be immortalized in corn, was to distract the nation from her interview with Katie Couric which aired this week, this is according to LAT's James Rainey. Yeah, we're heartless jerks and we kind of felt sorry for her, what with Putin rearing his head. If she wasn't running for something important we'd stop paying attention because it now seems cruel.

Phoenix Suns
Where in the World is Eric Bledsoe?
The Phoenix Suns have one of the best free agents on the market.
Eric Bledsoe, whom the team acquired prior to last season, is coming off a season in in which he averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Just 24 years old, the restricted free agent is bound to receive numerous offers from all over the NBA, and while conventional wisdom (and the Suns' pledges) has him returning to the Valley, that doesn't mean he won't consider leaving.
So, in order to help keep track of where he's going and who he's talking to, we present to you...
July 8, 2014
Coro: 'Limited' number of teams who can pursue Eric Bledsoe
"There's really a limited amount of teams who have the cap space to do the kind of contract he's looking for and need a point guard," Paul Coro told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday.

Report: Suns in early stages of contract talks with Eric Bledsoe's agent
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly meeting with agent Rich Paul, and this time it has nothing to do with LeBron James.

Report: Milwaukee Bucks to make offer to Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe
Armed with the No. 2 selection in the 2014 NBA Draft, Jabari Parker, and a new head coach, Jason Kidd, the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to bolster their roster, particularly in the backcourt.
In addition to weighing possible trade for Lin, I'm told Bucks are pitching offer sheet to RFA Eric Bledsoe and pursuing PG Greivis Vasquez— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 5, 2014
June 23, 2014
Suns beat writer Coro: Eric Bledsoe doesn't want to leave Phoenix Suns
"I don't think he wants to leave Phoenix," Coro said. "It's probably frustrating for everybody to hear him not just say a simple thing like �man I would really love to stay here, it was great here, I love my team, I could really see myself being here a long time.' It would have been great if somebody had coached him to say that or had him say that, but I think we maybe read a little too much into Eric Bledsoe not saying things like that."

Northern Eagle FCU First New CU Charter Of 2013
Permanent link
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (10/11/13)--Northern Eagle FCU, Minnesota, a multiple common-bond credit union that will serve the 4,900 members and employees of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, is now the first new federal credit union of 2013. Approval of the credit union's charter was announced by the National Credit Union Administration Thursday.
"It's always a great day when a new credit union is formed, particularly in an underserved community," said Bill Cheney, President/CEO of the Credit Union National Association. "We hope this is the first of many new credit unions created in 2013."
Every American deserves access to affordable financial services, but many Native Americans unfortunately lack access to federally insured financial services providers or only have access to predatory lenders," NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz said in an agency statement. "The chartering of Northern Eagle FCU addresses a real need," and the credit union "has the potential to play an important role in improving the lives and financial well-being of Northern Minnesota's Chippewa communities," she added.
The low-income designated credit union (LICU), which is sponsored by the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa Reservation Tribal Council, is scheduled to open in December.
Members will be able to access regular share accounts, unsecured loans, other secured loans, share drafts, credit repair loans, prepaid debit cards, share certificates, anti-predatory loans, money orders, club accounts, share secured loans, cashier checks, non-member deposits, auto loans and direct deposit within the first year of the credit union's operation. The credit union also plans to offer online banking services, and financial literacy education will also be an area of emphasis.
The LICU designation brings benefits that include the ability to accept supplemental capital and an exemption from the 12.25%-of-assets MBL cap under certain circumstances.

CUNA, Coopera Team Up For Oct. 30 Webinar
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (10/11/13)--Engaging Spanish-speaking members to help protect the credit union tax status will be the central topic of a Wednesday, Oct. 30 webinar hosted by the Credit Union National Association and Coopera, a Hispanic market solutions company with a focus on credit unions nationwide.
The webinar, which is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET, will be presented by Coopera CEO Miriam De Dios and Coopera's Anna Pena.
CUNA and Coopera have partnered to introduce new Spanish resources available as a part of the national "Don't Tax My Credit Union" campaign ("No Le Cobren Impuestos a Mi Credit Union," in Spanish).
The credit union tax advocacy initiative urges lawmakers as part of any final tax reform plan to preserve the federal tax exemption credit unions receive as not-for-profit, member-owned cooperatives. Credit unions and their members are using CUNA and the state credit union leagues' resources, social media sites including Facebook, and micro-video site Vine, to tell their legislators, "Don't Tax My Credit Union!"
This pro-credit union message is also being shared through Twitter feeds, CUNA's Twitter handle @CUNAadvocacy and the hashtag, #DontTaxMyCU.
To date, the campaign has generated more than one million messages to members of Congress.
Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the key "Don't Tax" Spanish message points for Spanish-speakers, the new tools that are available, and how to use them.
The webinar will address:
A video and website,
Form letters that members can send to Congress;
A Spanish option on the toll-free number, 877-642-4223;
Instructions for social media engagement; and
Graphics, posters, statement stuffers and flyers that are being made available to credit unions.
The webinar is free, but registration is required, and only CUNA-affiliated credit unions may register. Affiliation with CUNA/league is required for attendance. Use the resource link for more on the webinar.

FASB Releases Disclosure Framework Q-and-A
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (10/11/13)--Questions, answers and clarifications regarding the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Disclosure Framework project are provided in a new document released by that agency.
FASB's ongoing disclosure project is a bid to create disclosures that clearly communicate vital information to users of financial statements released by public firms, private companies and not-for-profit organizations. As the project moves forward, FASB is focused on two items: Its own decision-making process, and the decision-making processes of firms producing financial statements.
In one response, FASB said the objective of the disclosure framework project is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in notes to financial statements, not necessarily to reduce the volume of notes. "By clearly communicating the information that is most important to users of reporting organizations' financial statements, the disclosure framework project aims to make disclosure requirements more effective and useful," the board said.
Other questions answered in the FASB document include:
Will FASB's decision process require preparers to disclose predictions and forecasts of future cash flows?;
Will disclosure overlap between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Securities and exchange Commission rules, and other regulatory requirements be eliminated?;
Will FASB's decision process address interim reporting?;
How are investor concerns being taking into account in the project?; and
How does the disclosure framework project relate to private companies?
For the full disclosure document, use the resource link.
The Credit Union National Association has repeatedly urged FASB to understand the unique nature of credit unions, which are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives, as it develops the framework and works on other accounting changes.

Spanish Language Consumer Sites Unveiled By NCUA
Permanent link
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (10/11/13)--Updated Spanish versions of the National Credit Union Administration's consumer website
and financial literacy microsite
Pocket Cents
were unveiled on Thursday in observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
"During the last two decades, the number of Spanish speakers in America has more than doubled. Today, more than 36 million Americans speak Spanish at home," NCUA Board Chair Debbie Matz said in an agency release. "It is critical that these Spanish speakers have access to reliable resources for financial information," she added.
The agency's
Pocket Cents
sites cover credit union basics and provide financial tips for consumers of all ages, including details on the cost of education and homeownership, and information to help retirement planning, debt management, online financial security and emergency planning. The NCUA has recently added new content that could help older consumers avoid scams and protect their finances. "I encourage everyone to take full advantage of all the tools we have made available to them free of charge," Matz wrote.
The new sites can be found at

Red Bull driver Mark Webber has confirmed he will quit Formula One at the end of the season and join up with Porsche's new sportscar programme.
The 36-year-old Australian will bring down the curtain on his 12-year F1 career, which saw him win nine grands prix, claim 36 podiums and 11 pole positions.
Webber, though, is looking forward to the challenge at German sports company Porsche, who is set to take part in Le Mans 24 Hours next year.
"Porsche has written racing history as a manufacturer and stands for outstanding performance and technology at the highest level," he said.
"I'm very much looking forward to this new challenge after my time in Formula 1. I can hardly wait to pilot one of the fastest sports cars in the world."
The Australian made his F1 debut back in 2002 with Minardi and also had stints with Jaguar and Williams before joining Red Bull in 2007. He finished third in the Drivers' Championship in 2010 and 2011.
Although he was linked with a move to Ferrari on several occasions in recent seasons, he decided to stick with Red Bull by signing one-year rolling contracts.
Red Bull are believed to have offered him another one-year deal for the 2014 campaign, but the Australian has decided it is time for a new challenge.
With Sebastian Vettel set to stay at the Milton Keynes squad until 2015, Red Bull will now have a choice of promoting one of Daniel Ricciardo or Jean-Eric Vergne from Toro Rosso while Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen is also an option.

Bass used the Dior Waterproof Pencil in Captivating Blue ($29; sephora.com) to create Rossum's graphic liner. When trying your own hand at the look, sketch out a cat-eyed shape on your lid, then use the sponge-tipped end of the pencil to taper it to a point. The precise form looks best when framed by a groomed brow, so use a pencil similar to your natural hair color to fill in sparse areas. We love Dior's Pencil in Intense Brown ($29; sephora.com).
(Pro tip: Deep cobalt and cornflower tones bring out the dimension in blue eyes, so use a touch of the shade any time you want to emphasize your baby blues.)Read MoreLess

Unhygienic practices?
- 0Is filling syringes at a receptionists desk unhygienic? I went to a doctors office today for a job interview and they gave me some on the spot training which was basically sit at the phone and answer it, and fill syringes between calls. Oh, and unwrapping bandages. They showed me how to fill the syringe and left me to it. I didnt have gloves or anything and I was handling the phone without washing my hands between syringe/phone times. And they had me unwrapping bandages and shoving them into big sandwich bags. The needles went into separate sandwich bags.
It was my first time handling a syringe and I'm pretty sure they gave all the people that were being "interviewed" this task.
Am I being paranoid or is there something sketchy about the doctor that runs this place?
I also searched reviews of her practice and the majority of her patients seem really dissatisfied. It also seems that she does this "training" sort of interview daily according to what I read.
I'm not going to post her name or practice or anything like that, I'm just worried that her practices could be considered health hazards.
- 13Feb 15, '13 by LaughingRNI'm not going to comment on the appropriateness of the interview, but the concept of clean technique.
When you draw up a medication into a syringe, it is not a sterile procedure. Therefore if you do not touch the sterile needle and you do not touch the sterile top of the vial after removing the cap (or a cleaned multi- use vial with alcohol) - you don't need gloves.
Think about the concept of "clean" gloves. They are in a box that require your hands (and who knows how many other dirty or clean hands) to touch the exterior of the gloves before putting them on. They are more to protect the health care worker from body fluids then to protect the patient from exposure to contaminates.
With that said, I'd be more concerned about pre-filled med syringes in a ziplock bag, presumably to be used by someone else (who didn't draw it up themselves) than by the hygienic issue. Just saying.
- 2There's also the fact that she has people whose names she doesn't even know doing it... In the time I was there I could have easily slipped something into my bag or if one of her workers gets mad at her one day they can very easily fill up a syringe with something other than lidocaine, since nobody is monitoring it.
I'm positive she didn't even look at my application... Or the other girls'...Last edit by worriedabouthygiene on Feb 15, '13 : Reason: typo
- 6Feb 15, '13 by mariebailey, MSN, RN
- The place where the meds were drawn up concerns me; meds should be prepared in a designated clean area away from potentially contaminated items.
- Was this real medication? You should really only draw up medication you will administer.
- It is not ideal to pre-draw syringes for injection b/c of the possibility of microbial growth in the syringe to contaminate the medication.
- To comment on the previous poster's remark, just b/c it may come up: the rubber stopper is not considered sterile b/c it has a cap on it and should be wiped with an ETOH pad once the cap is removed.
- 9Feb 15, '13 by BrandonLPNPre-drawing up medications in a syringe for someone else to administer later is a bad idea.
But my nursing home mind does find the idea of a "designated clean area" to prepare medications pretty funny. The top of my medcart? Have you *seen* that thing? Dollars to donuts the receptionist's desk is "cleaner".Last edit by BrandonLPN on Feb 15, '13
- 6Yeahhhh
I did a bit of Google-fu and decided that this isn't a woman I don't want to work for.
A few tidbits from her (mostly negative) reviews
-She yells at the staff in front of patients (I already experienced that)
-She's racist
-She overcharges insurance and makes people buy beauty products without telling them what they're for
-She keeps people waiting in a supply closet until the waiting room can hold them
-Patients can overhear her yelling at the staff to get them out and bring in another
-She doesn't diagnose or treat what the patients came for, simply assumes what's wrong without asking them any questions, treats them, -then- gives them a consent form to sign, and then sends them home
I'll just find work elsewhere. This is completely ridiculous.
- 5Feb 15, '13 by nu rnQuote from worriedabouthygieneAre you not a nurse or in nursing school at least? What type of position was the interview for? I find it very odd that non-nursing staff would be asked to draw up any meds.It was my first time handling a syringe and I'm pretty sure they gave all the people that were being "interviewed" this task.
- 5Feb 15, '13 by Hygiene Queen, ADN, RN GuideSounds similar to a chiropractor I interviewed for once.
He was also trying to get the job interviewees to sign up for treatments... among other unkosher things.
I was offered the job and declined it... good for you for doing the same.
I draw up meds at the nurses' station all the time... the key is to keep the needle sterile and use your swabs.
I would think they'd have hand sanitizer at the desk so you can at least use that between tasks.
Having job applicants draw up meds?
Sounds like free labor doesn't it?
Glad you ran from that mess and I'd warn others to stay away.

U.S. hit by new stomach bug
NEW YORK — A new strain of stomach bug sweeping the globe is taking over in the U.S., health officials say.
Since September, more than 140 outbreaks in the U.S. have been caused by the new Sydney strain of norovirus. It may not be unusually dangerous; some scientists don't think it is. But it is different, and many people might not be able to fight off its gut-wrenching effects.

It has been written that Bat first served as a Dodge City policeman in 1876 under Wyatt Earp, but if so it was short-lived because Masterson spent most of the early part of the year in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where it is possible he purchased the J.C. Collins gunbelt and holster that was one of several rigs he wore as a lawman. Bat's interest in Cheyenne, however, was strictly the gaming tables where he made a haul before heading back to Dodge. En route he ran into Wyatt and Morgan Earp in Sidney, Nebraska. They had pulled up stakes in Dodge and Wyatt suggested that if Bat was going back he should run for county sheriff, but no sooner had he arrived than Bill Tilghman and Neal Brown asked Bat if he wanted to take one more run at buffalo hunting. He agreed to team up with them taking his trusty Sharps out of retirement and strapping on his latest Colt six-shooter.
The engraving on the F.lli Pietta Bat Masterson single action is based on the pattern found on the seventh of Masterson's Colt revolvers. This pattern is not a Colt factory design and was likely done by an engraver in Dodge City.
It was during this hunt that Masterson demonstrated his skills with both a revolver and a rifle to the delight of Tilghman, who was no slouch with a six-gun himself. "I've seen Bat shoot at a tin cup thrown in the air, with his six-shooter, at twenty-five cents a shot, and make money at it." As much as he enjoyed trick shooting Bat took the skills of the shootist seriously and noted in one of his 1907 magazine articles that, "…looking through the sights is a very essential thing to do when shooting at an adversary who is returning your fire." Masterson's belief in using the gun's sights and not shooting from the hip, as he was so often reported to have done, is supported by the first of many written orders for guns sent to Colt's. In 1879 he requested a custom-tailored, personally inscribed single action, further noting that it be silver plated with Mexican eagles carved in pearl handles and have a front sight slightly higher than normal, his personal preference.
The inscription on the backstrap was typical of guns ordered by Masterson from Colt's.
One of Eight
During the course of his career as a lawman and gambler, Bat ordered a total of eight single-action revolvers from Colt's. The most notable was an order made from Dodge City and written on Opera House Saloon stationary in July 1885 which stated:
Please send Me one of your nickel plated short .45 calibre revolvers. It is for my own use and for that reason I would like to have a little Extra pains taken with it. I am willing to pay Extra for Extra work. Make it very Easy on the trigger and have the front Sight a little higher and thicker than the ordinary pistol of this Kind. Put on a gutta percha handle and send it as soon as possible, have the barrel about the same length that the ejector rod is.
Truly Yours
W B Masterson
P.S. Duplicate the above order by sending 2
By then Bat had already served as Under Sheriff of Ford County for Charlie Bassett, replacing him in 1877 after Bassett had served two consecutive terms (under Kansas law a Country Sheriff could not hold office for three consecutive terms). His first act after becoming County Sheriff, not surprisingly, was to appoint Charlie Bassett as Under Sheriff, the two essentially exchanging badges. During his tenure in Dodge City, which was also the County Seat and home to the Ford County Sheriff's office, Bat appointed many of his old associates as special deputies when situations became thorny. Ford County encompassed some 9,500 square miles, a large portion of southwestern Kansas — a lot of territory into which outlaws could quickly vanish. In their pursuit Bat called upon Wyatt Earp, as well as appointing his younger brother James Masterson and friend Bill Tilghman Deputy Sheriffs. Dodge City also had its own City Marshal, Ed Masterson, and a local police force. Dodge was a tough town and it needed every lawman it had.

ETF, Mutual Fund, Hedge Fund Fees Fall
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With much fanfare, Charles Schwab (SCHW) started selling a group of low-cost exchange traded funds.
Some of the offerings come with the smallest expense ratios in the industry, and Schwab clients can trade the new funds for free. "No-commission trading has never been offered before, so Schwab is raising the heat on the competition," says Tom Lydon, editor of ETFTrends.com.
In its effort to cut expenses, Schwab is hardly alone. Investment managers of all stripes have been reducing costs. Expense ratios have been falling for ETFs and open-end mutual funds. Even hedge funds have been cutting the fees they charge to institutions and wealthy individuals.
Some of the fee cuts appear to be temporary measures aimed at helping companies attract customers during hard times. But the trend of lower expenses seems likely to continue even when the recession ends. As increasingly sophisticated investors comparison shop on the Internet, they are gravitating to the best bargains.The Schwab discounts are particularly notable because they undercut competitors that had long offered cheap expense ratios. With an expense ratio of 0.15%, Schwab International Equity ETF (SCHF) underprices its largest competitor, iShares MSCI EAFE (EFA), which has $35 billion in assets and charges 0.35%. Schwab U.S. Broad Market (SCHB) charges 0.08%, competing against S&P 500 trackers, such as SPDRS (SPY) and iShares S&P 500 (IVV), which both charge 0.09% and hold a combined $90 billion in assets. The most notable element of the Schwab campaign is the free trading. Till now, investors buying ETFs have had to pay standard brokerage commissions for all trades. Retail investors with accounts of less than $1 million typically pay $12.95 for each trade at Schwab. The fees have made it prohibitively expensive for investors to put small amounts into ETFs. But that has changed. "If you are a Schwab client, it now makes sense to put $200 a month into an ETF," says John Gabriel, an ETF analyst for Morningstar.

Mid-Season Disease
Part 2, Section 4: Soybean Pest Management
Soybean Pest Management
Mid-Season Disease
Anthracnose can infect at any time during development, but symptoms typically appear during the early reproductive stages as irregularly shaped brown areas on the stems, petioles, and pods. Infected leaves often have reddish veins, leaf rolling, and premature defoliation. This disease may also girdle petioles, leading to premature defoliation. Pods that are affected may not produce seeds, produce smaller, brown, moldy, shriveled seeds, or show no symptoms at all. Infected seeds often do not germinate, or they die shortly after germinating with symptoms similar to damping-off. Typical signs of the disease are seen after maturation as dark specks covering stems, pods, and petioles. The causal agent of this disease survives in infected plant debris and seeds.
Charcoal Rot. Charcoal rot, also known as summer wilt, can occur during periods of hot, dry weather, which causes plant stress. Plants affected with charcoal rot often appear wilted or drought stressed but do not regain turgor after rain. These plants often seem to have accelerated maturity and are easily found when the field is near R6-R7 since these patches have already lost their leaves. The disease causes a reddish brown discoloration of the taproot and progresses up the stem producing small, black microsclerotia (reproductive structures) that resemble charcoal dust on the stem. The microsclerotia can survive in the soil for 2 years or longer and the fungus can survive in the seed coat for up to 3 years. The symptoms are similar to white mold without the white, cottony growth and large sclerotia. The best control measures include using certified, disease-free seed and crop rotation. In a field with a history of charcoal rot, rotate to a cereal crop for 2 years. Charcoal rot can also cause corn stalk rot, so a corn-soy rotation will not be effective in reducing inoculum. The disease can also infect alfalfa and clover; therefore, if rotating to forage crop choose a grass rather than a legume.
Frog-eye leaf spot is characterized by dark brown spots surrounded by a red or brown margin. As the lesions age, the margins maintain their brown color, with a gray to white center, which may contain minute dark spots. This is a very common disease with usually little economic impact. In some situations, such as soybean no-till planted into soybean stubble, the disease can be severe and cause defoliation. The best method of control is crop rotation.
Downy mildew usually starts as small, irregular-shaped yellow lesions on the leaf surface. On the underneath of the leaf a small gray or brown tuft is evident as the lesions age. In some situations, downy mildew will infect the pod and cause a wrinkled, discolored seed. This disease is relatively common in Pennsylvania with little known economic impact.
Soybean vein necrosis virus (SVNV) was confirmed in Pennsylvania in July 2012. Symptoms of the disease are mottled yellow discoloration radiating from main veins, often in younger leaves. These yellowed areas often turn reddish brown to brown or necrotic with time. This virus is transmitted by thrips, a tiny, slender-bodied insect about 1/32–1/5 inch long. Young thrips are often yellow and later have dark patches and fringed wings as adults. Thrips are very numerous in soybean fields and considered to have little economic impact, except transmitting this disease. This disease has been found to be widespread across Pennsylvania fields, and no yield loss data have been compiled at this time.
White mold also known as Sclerotinia stem rot, has caused localized outbreaks in Pennsylvania and poses a serious threat to soybean production in the Commonwealth. Fields near river bottoms where the environmental conditions (fog and extended periods of high humidity) favor disease development are most at risk for white mold. Average yield losses attributed to these epidemics are estimated to be between 10 and 20 percent. In severely diseased fields, the yield losses may exceed 50 percent.
Wilting of the plants is often the first indication that white mold is developing within a soybean canopy. Upon inspection, diseased plants are found to have stem lesions and signs of white, cottony mold growth. As the disease progresses, the leaves and stems of infected plants turn brown. Hard black structures known as sclerotia are often present on and within infected stem and pod tissue. Further information and color photos can be found at http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/FreePubs/pdfs/xl0087.pdf
White Mold Management
White mold has proved to be a difficult disease to manage in Pennsylvania and many soybean production regions. Producers can reduce the risk of severe white mold by following the recommendations below.
Variety Selection. High levels of resistance to white mold are not currently available; however, soybean varieties do differ in response to white mold. Soybeans that are less susceptible to white mold are available for some maturity groups, and these varieties can effectively reduce the risk of severe white mold. When considering varieties with unknown white mold resistance, select a taller growing variety with medium canopy width to help reduce the humidity within the canopy. Avoid planting fields with a history of white mold with highly susceptible varieties.
Crop Rotation. Each year a portion of the pathogen population will die because of adverse weather conditions or the activities of other organisms. Rotation to a nonhost crop such and corn, wheat, or other grass will provide time for the fungal population to drop and reduce the risk of severe disease. Fields with 5 to 25 percent disease should not be planted to soybean for at least 1 year. Fields with 26 to 50 percent disease should not have soybeans for 2 years, and fields with greater than 50 percent disease should be rotated away from soybeans for at 2 to 3 years.
Tillage. Tillage practices have been shown to influence the survival of the fungus. Deep plowing a field can be used to effectively bury sclerotia deep enough that they can no longer germinate and release spores. However, buried sclerotia are known to survive longer than those left on the soil surface, and subsequent plowing can bring them back to near the soil surface. In contrast, minimum tillage and no-till practices favor the natural decline of the fungal populations in the absence of a susceptible crop.
Canopy Management. Management practices that favor rapid canopy closure can result in an environment that is favorable for disease development.
Weed Control. Many broad leaf weeds can also be hosts of the fungus. Not controlling these weeds can allow the spread of the disease within a field and may reduce the effectiveness of the crop rotation.
Adjust Harvest Priorities. Since the sclerotia (reproductive structure) is about the size of soybeans, fields with severe white mold and sections of fields that are heavily diseased should be harvested last to avoid spreading the fungus within and between fields. Thoroughly clean all harvesting equipment before moving from diseased fields to locations where white mold is absent.
Chemical control. White mold typically infects through the flowers after fertilization. Although many fungicides are labeled to control white mold, there has been no effective way of applying fungicides to the flowers. The use of the herbicide lactofen has been shown to reduce white mold but causes severe burning to the soybean canopy. No consistently effective chemical control is currently available.

City agencies across the board will be feeling the pinch under Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed $65.5 billion budget for the fiscal year 2012.
In the plan unveiled Friday at City Hall, the news was especially rough for city schools, which face the loss of about 6,000 teachers through layoffs and attrition.
Bloomberg placed much of the blame on Albany, both for cutting funding to the city and for failing to act on pension reform and the "Last In, First Out" law that mandates which teachers can be let go based on performance, not seniority.
"We are in better shape than most cities for two prime reasons: we've made smart investments in our economy and we budgeted in a responsible way that prepared us for the inevitable downturn in the national economy," Bloomberg said Friday. "But we are not an island. We are not immune to the realities in Albany and Washington."
Governor Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly said cuts in his budget are necessary to balance the state's books.
"I didn't make the decision to cut back $850 million of federal monies for education," Bloomberg said. "I didn't make the decision to cut back $812 million of state money for education. Those were things that were forced on us."
Twenty fire companies are also on the chopping block. They've been there before, but the City Council has helped restore funding in the past to keep them open. The city's fire commissioner is warning that there will be consequences if the cut goes through.
"Our operations throughout the city will be severely impacted," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said of the cuts. "Our response times will increase.
Pressed about the fire closures on Friday, the mayor opened up.
"I am worried about everything," he said. "I don't know of any city service that this city provides that I think is a waste of money."
There is some good news though: Proposed cuts to subsidized care for 16,000 city kids has been restored for at least one more year, despite a state cut to social services.
The budget plan calls for no tax increases – but there are plans to generate new revenues. The city is looking to increase membership fees at recreation centers and install 20 new red light cameras. Parking rates would also go up throughout the five boroughs.
Critics immediately pounced on the mayor.
"The reality is that the mayor of the city of New York has, unfortunately, a horrible relationship with Albany politics," said Brooklyn City Councilmember Letitia James. "He didn't play it right. And as a result of that, we bear the burden."
"This is a political document to justify going after the vulnerable people in this city," said Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.
City council members say they will take aim at the city's spending on outside contractors, and look for savings there.
The budget now goes to the City Council for consideration.
A final budget deal is due by the end of June for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Winter Catfishing on Lake Murray with Captain Chris Simpson
Several years ago I had the opportunity to fish for monster blue catfish on Lake Monticello with Captain Chris Simpson, and I gained an appreciation of the nuance of fishing for monster catfish on that lake. The payoff is tremendous if you coax a 30-60 plus pound monster to bite, and Lake Monticello has fish much bigger than that, but its huge catfish are finicky. They can guard a piece of cut bait for an ...Read more ›

A county established in eastern South Dakota on 5 April 1862, named for Wilmot W. Brookings, a pioneer settler of the region and legislator.
(APA-140: dp. 14,837; l. 455'0"; b. 62'0"; dr. 24'0"; s. 19 k.; cpl. 536; trp. 1,561; a. 1 5", 12 40mm., 10 20mm.; cl. Haskell; T. VC2-S-AP5)
Brookings (APA-140) was laid down on 5 September 1944 at Wilmington, Calif., by the California Shipbuilding Corp., under a Maritime Commission contract (MCV hull 24); launched on 20 November 1944; sponsored by Mrs. T. C. Johnson; and commissioned on 6 January 1945, Capt. Herbert C. Berger in command.
After conducting shakedown training, Brookings returned to San Pedro on 17 February for post-shakedown availability before proceeding to San Francisco to load cargo. Sailing through the Golden Gate on 22 March 1945, Brookings steamed westward and reached Pearl Harbor with a cargo of ammunition on the 28th.
For the next four months, Brookings carried troops and cargo to such ports as Hilo and Pearl Harbor; the island of Guam; Ulithi, in the Carolines; Manus, in the Admiralty Islands; Hollandia, New Guinea; Manila, Philippine Islands; and the island of Leyte. The end of the war in mid-August found her sailing en route from Tacloban to Guam.
Brookings was then assigned to forces supporting the occupation of Japan, and she transported elements of the Army's 43d Division to the Tokyo-Yokahama area. The ship remained in Tokyo Bay between 7 and 13 September 1945. After returning to Guam soon thereafter and proceeding thence to Saipan, Brookings sailed for North China in October and landed elements of the 29th Regimental Combat Team of the 6th Marine Division at Tsingtao. Assigned to Operation "Magic Carpet" on 15 November, the attack transport returned American servicemen from Jinsen, Korea, and Sasebo, Japan, to Seattle, Wash., in two voyages between late November 1945 and early March 1946.
Departing San Francisco on 3 April 1946, Brookings sailed for the east coast, touching briefly at the Canal Zone from 12 to 16 April before arriving at Norfolk, Va., on 21 April. Decommissioned at Norfolk on 25 July 1946, Brookings was laid up in the York River berthing area. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 1 October 1958, and the ship was transferred to the Maritime Commission. Moved to Wilmington, N.C. later in the year, she was berthed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet. Later shifted to the James River berthing area, she remained in the hands of the Maritime Administration into 1984.

A mysterious blog tipped us off this morning to the possibility that Nick Kokonas, Grant Achatz and the team behind cocktail spot The Aviary and restaurants Next and Alinea had a new project in the works.
Kokonas, a partner in all three venues, confirmed that it was indeed him quoted in the blog post, and tells RedEye that the team currently is looking for a location for a new "drinking establishment."
So, does that mean an Aviary part two?
No, according to Kokonas, who said the "drinking establishment" likely won't be what people are imagining. He added that though the concept is nearly finalized, a location still is in the works.
They hope to have the project open by the end of next year.

Customers External HDD Shorted out
Well first ever yesterday plugged the clients external WD HDD to the USB port and Bzzt Pop! The damn thing shorted out, this was after creating an image and synching files/outlook to the said hard drive.
Luckily though I had already transfered the required file backed up from previous system state. The client had a UPS which helped as well as this took the brunt of the hit.
I was annoyed though took it calmly and stated to the customer " there is a large amount of dust on the UPS and the points, this can cause a lot of static". There was a huge amount of dust on the power supply, I had plugged my external in and no problems.
The issue though I think was with the HDD itself, as I had noticed at my workshop that I would get a slight discharge if I touched the casing of the HDD. I suggested to the customer for safety reasons I would suggest to purchase a new external - non powered device. The client was fine with the outcome, I was just pissed at the stupid device shorting out lol.
I have since taken apart the HDD and tested itself on another system and is dead, might try the freezer trick for some fun.

If I am working on hardware like this and I am running it on a computer system that I might need to power down immediately I use a second PSU with a power supply tester to power the PSU and then power on the test drive with that PSU. If you need to power down b/c of faulty drive you aren't dropping the whole test system at the same time.
What kind of drive was it? Brand, Size, Capacity, speed? Just curious.
The data on the drive was only backup of the clients data, which I transfered to the new install anyway. The PCB method wouldnt be viable as it would the same to purchase a HD to cannibalise it for the PCB. I think the day I have the exact same model of drive laying around is when HDD are no longer used.
Then again if it was important data, I would most likely do this. I cant remember exactly the model was a WD Elements 500GB I think. I have a seperate test bench area setup with a system I generally test on also, which the drive is not detected.
Just an update..
Recovered Faulty HDD - customer extremley happy, didnt charge for recovery
