CLINTON, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Food Lion supermarket chain announced it intends to close over one hundred grocery stores nationwide. The closures are set to take place over the next 30 days and affect 4,900 employees.
Delhaize America, the corporation which owns Food Lion, said it will close 113 "underperforming" stores, focusing mainly on areas where there aren't too many Food Lions. The Salisbury, NC-based company also will convert 64 Bloom and Bottom Dollar grocery stores into Food Lions and eliminate the Bloom brand.
"Food Lion is focused on repositioning our business for future growth," said Cathy Green Burns, president of Food Lion. "By closing underperforming stores, we will continue to position Food Lion for success, especially in light of our brand strategy results"
Twenty-five Food Lions in East Tennessee are scheduled to close, including stores in Knoxville, Clinton, Maryville, Morristown, Sevierville, Greenville, Johnson City, and Athens and the company is greatly reducing operations at a distribution center in Clinton is displacing about 1,100 workers.
"While these were difficult decisions given the impact on our associates, customers and communities, we believe these actions will enable us to better serve our customers in our markets with high density, while positioning the company for future growth," said Ron Hodge, CEO of Delhaize America.
Food Lion spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown said a severance package is being offered to eligible employees affected by the parent company's decision to close underperforming stores.
Phillips-Brown said 32 Food Lion stores with about 1,300 employees in Tennessee will continue operating.

TS-430 PLL Issues.
I've taken on yet another TS-430 and ran into an issue with whats coming off the PLL board. I traded a TS-430 I had purchased as non-working which I repaired/tuned for a unit in very nice shape cosmetically but not working. Another HAM back on the air, but now I have another TS-430 to figure out. I suspect this may be an issue with VCO signals coming to the PLL but after spending several hours getting to this point, I've put the project down for a bit to work on my workshop. Hopefully someone on a list somewhere has seen this before and I'll hear back from someone by the next time I pick this project up.
HP 8935 E6380A EL Display Fix
I have a HP 8935 E6380A service monitor that had some pretty severe screen burn. After looking around for a replacement I wanted to see how hard it would be to adapt a current LCD to the 8935. Suprisingly it was fairly easy. I had a 10.5 inch display and after probing around a bit to see what signals/power were on the A1A1 connector (400 i think) I started playing with a FPGA dev board to convert signals to something I could see on the screen. It works but doesn't fill the entire screen and its not the right size hardware. Now that I have a PLAN B and I've found a 6.5"ish lcd I can readily buy cheap, I'll troll along with the burnt display till it fails or I can't stand it anymore. I'm hoping there is a lot of interest in this to other 8935 owners and its something I can justify doing in the near future.
Some things I played with while I had the 8935 apart and the 10.5" connected:
- Inversion to have some way of preventing screen burn.
- Adding some color (Changed boarder color, changed color of spectrum analyzer portions of the screen) This isn't something that can be done everywhere. If its simply which pixels get what color it's trivial.
- Added text to the parts of the screen not used going from 512x256 to 640x480. Could add ADC to show voltages etc as extra info.
-Centered screen and added border.
B & K E200D Issue and the Fix.
I recently discovered my B & K E200D would no longer modulate while working on a Kenwood TS-440AT. After getting inside the E200D nothing appeared to be unusual and I remember a site I had used before when searching for the switchcraft connector I needed to make a cable for this unit. http://www.freeinfostuff.com/E200D/E-200D.htm . After going thru the calibration procedure, everything was in calibration with the exception of the modulation level which once I adjusted the level the modulation meter was back in action. Easy quick fix and now I know that the unit is calibrated.
Tempo 2020 Henry Uniden HF Radio Project.
I recently purchased this Tempo 2020 HF radio to rebuild. I plan to start this project after the TS-430S is finished.
I've been scouring the net looking for information about this radio. Below are some links I've found thus far.
Yahoo Tempo Group (Very Useful) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TEMPO_2020/
KX4OM Tempo 2020 Repair pages http://www.kx4om.com/TechSolutions/Tempo2020_repairs/2020.html
B&K E-200D and Heathkit Signal Generator Cable Connectors
I've had several email's about some of my test gear in recent weeks and one item of interest from many was the cable used on my B&K E-200D Signal Generator. I used a premade 50 ohm BNC cable and attached a 2501F connector. So if you need these connectors they can be found numerous places. Search for 2501F, vintage mic connector etc to locate the connector. I prefer when possible to keep my gear original in case I sell the unit for an upgrade and the cost of the connectors is very small. I was able to purchase two for less than $12 including shipping. On is a BNC adapter and I used the other for a 50ohm gator clip style cable. Switchcraft is the manufacture of the connectors I used.
The datasheet is below.

Kenwood TS-430S Control Board
I made it a bit deeper into the 430S this weekend. While checking the alignment, it was clear there was an issue with the RIT. It didn't seem to work and I wasn't seeing what I should have been at D5. After looking around a bit on the board I found that VR3 was working sometimes and sometimes not depending on what mood it was in. After replacing VR3 I wasn't getting a proper RIT 9mhz signal but everything is more consistent now. I noticed the dreaded glue around the 9mhz osc which concerns me and I'm very suspicious of that area. When I have time next step is to remove all the glue from that area and try and determine if that has something to do with RIT not functioning.
07/24/2011 After deeper inspection of the glue area it became very apparent that X6 (9mhz) was no longer connected to the board. The leads had broken off right at the PCB. I've spent some time trying to source a replacement. Hopefully I'll locate one soon.
08/01/2010 The control board now checks out with the 9mhz replacement. On to the PLL board.
Kenwood TS-430S Filter Unit Board Repair LPF
I've been doing some clean up on the filter unit for the Kenwood TS-430S HF radio. Some bands were not working and the filter unit was suspect. I had already tried the prescribed 12 V DC current treatment without any changes on the bands that weren't working. I noticed several bad joints and manually disassembled each relay and checked its operation. At least two of them were not making good connections and required cleaning with some contact cleaner and a dollar bill. After this cleaning they seem to be working. I also noticed several bad solder joints. Here is some photos of the board.
Kenwood TS-430S Clicking on Transmit Problem TX
After doing some initial testing on the Kenwood TS-430S project cleaning up the IF board issues I had been getting 100 watts on some of the bands. Suddenly last night during a test I noticed the radio would begin clicking and resetting. After a bit of head scratching and doublechecking power going into the radio I finally traced it down. The molex connector at the rear wasn't making a good connection. I used some needle nose pliers and some deoxit and solved the problem. A quick fix to a problem is always good.
Kenwood TS-430S IF Board Repair
07/14/2011 - After removing the IF board from the TS-430 I could see some issues right off hand. The top site of the board was realitivly clean although I noticed some excess thermal compound on the regulators which gave me a hint that this IF board had been repaired at some point. Getting it out I could see lots of oxidation, burn traces at one of the regulators and at least one connect that had ripped the traces from the board. Tonight I cleaned up much of the board tested all the diodes on the rear of the board, and repaired the 5V traces. At this point the radio seems to work but I don't have very good recieve and it still only transmits on some bands. On the bands it does transmit on it does full output which is a good sign. I'll be working on the IF board for the next few days as its in bad shape on the rear side.
07/18/2011 - Well thus far, I have replaced the traces on the 5V regulator with jumpers as the eyelets were missing and that area of the board wasn't in very good shape. I also located a burnt or gouged trace which will need repair. A missing eyelet was found on Connector 10 and I ended up glueing the connector to the board and replacing the trace with a wire. After looking at the board from the top I've noticed several missing caps. I expect someone has tried to repair this board and during checking cold solder joints they may of pushed the caps off the board without noticing.
07/19/2011 The gouged trace has been repaired. Now the IF section seems to be working at least a stage or two away from the audio section. I ended up with a TX issue which was a bad connection at the molex connector which slowed progress on the IF board issues.
OSW 1.0D Kit TM-D710A keyboard adapter.
05/02/2011 07:12 AM - The order for the 1.0D board has been processed and passed design checks with manufacture. We all should see boards from the group buy in the next 3-4 weeks hopefully. Parts have already arrived. I'll be posting more information and documentation during those long 3-4 weeks of waiting here. I recommend to everyone to use an AVR platform for MCU development an interface but you are welcome to use what you want. The goal is to end up with something that is under the 100ma current of the MIC interface. Read more...

Prep time: 20 mins (plus 2 hours marinading time)
Cook time: 15 mins

Wraps are a real winner in a camping cook kit. They can turn simple ingredients into a fun meal. We do beef really well in this country.
The most delectable steak I think I have ever tried was bison steak, reared on one of our CSs, Bush Farm in Wiltshire. It was delectably velvety in texture, moist and flavoursome.
A steak, griddled simply is hard to beat. But if you're looking for some excitement for a family meal, then fajitas are great.
The steak can be replaced with chicken, but for some reason beef is more Mexican according to my husband. With the peppers and tomatoes this is a great seasonal summer meal.
This is a very easy meal to prepare and your children will love it!

Kings Point
A film by
Sari Gilman
2013, 30 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W141123
During the 1970s and 80s, thousands of New York's primarily Jewish senior citizens migrated to Kings Point, a retirement community in Florida. Lured by blue skies, sunshine and the promise of richer social lives, they bought paradise for a mere $1,500 down payment. 2013 Academy Award® nominee for Best Documentary (Short Subject), KINGS POINT tracks the stories of five residents of this typical retirement complex who arrived decades ago with their health intact and spouses by their sides. Now that they and their community, comprised primarily of widowed women, face advanced age and mortality, paradise demands a higher price. Through candid interviews the film exposes the dynamic interplay of their desire for independence, need for community, and ambivalence toward growing old. Filmmaker and Emmy® nominee Sari Gilman deftly balances seriousness with humor, providing a bittersweet look at love, loss and self-preservation as well as a deeply empathetic portrait of aging in America and the American Dream's last act.

text: 02 May 2012 Costa Rica Puts its Best Fin Forward Posted by: Brian Bovard | 4 comments | Share: Last week there was some great news for the Sphyrna lewini species of hammerhead shark as Costa Rica awarded Appendix III CITES protection to the beleaguered species. Found mostly along the coasts of its natural range in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans hammerhead shark fins are one of the most prized in Asian markets. Because these scalloped hammerheads swim in large schools, they are targeted by fisheries and particularly susceptible to overfishing. The high commercial value of the shark's fins combined with the low value of hammerhead shark meat has led to widespread finning of the species, a wasteful and often illegal practice in which the fins are severed only to have the shark thrown back into the ocean to die a slow, painful death. Defenders of Wildlife worked closely with the Costa Rican government to secure this listing for the hammerhead shark, and while it is an important first step towards worldwide shark conservation more countries and their leaders must recognize that this wasteful practice must stop. Click here to learn more about Defenders work on sharks. 4 Responses to "Costa Rica Puts its Best Fin Forward" Cally smith June 8th, 2012 Great news and not before time. This protection has to be monitored. The people (I use this term loosely) have to stop this ridiculous need to buy shark fins, it is plain ignorance and utterly stupid. Those who can fin a shark and throw it back to sea are truly despicable, no matter how much money they receive for doing it. This practice makes my stomach turn with sickness each time I think about it. Reply Christina June 15th, 2012 This is truely horrible Reply JakeyM February 16th, 2013 Well said, but people need to realize that adding Solar to their house is an purchase that should raise the longer term valuation of their home if / when they choose to sell. With the environment the way it is going we are unable to disregard any solution that provides no cost power at no cost to both the consumer and more notably the earth! Reply Scott August 23rd, 2013 As a resident of Costa Rica, I am proud that the government has finally taken this step to protect these sharks, which exist in large numbers near the Isla de Coco (about midway between the Costa Rica coastline and the Galapagos. Also, Costa Rica has prohibited the shark fin trade (regardless of location of the catch), which was until very recently a major industry of the principal Pacific port. Additionally, in the wake of environmentalist Jairo Mora, the government has taken steps to provide more protection to nesting turtles and the turtle egg trade. Unfortunately, as has been pointed out above, enforcement is a very important factor. With a small coast guard and very limited funding, it is difficult for a small country to monitor such a vast expanse of territorial waters and coastlines. Conservation organizations such as Sea Shepherd should be welcome in this effort; however, that organization is not likely to provide assistance because its leader, Paul Watson is wanted by the Costa Rican government on apparently bogus charges made by a Costa Rican fishing vessel. Hopefully, we will continue to see progress in conservation enforcement in Costa Rica and its waters. Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

My husband, Elliott, and I celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary with a long-awaited trip to New Zealand. We loved the country and adored the people, but it would have been worth the trip just for this amazing bread by Dean Brettschneider, a professional baker. The recipe has since appeared in a book he wrote with our mutual friend Lauraine Jacobs, former president of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. This stunning bread is encrusted with sliced almonds and gilded with an apricot glaze. The crumb is dense and studded with chopped almond and dried figs, with one whole fig implanted right in the center, which, when cut, resembles a heart.
The bread is delicious without further adornment, but it is also perfect with a blue cheese. My favorites are mild Cambozola blue and Saga blue.
Oven Temperature: 425°F, then 375°F (if using La Cloche, 450°F, then 400°F)
1. Make the sponge. In a mixer bowl or other large bowl, place the flour, yeast, sugar and water. Whisk until very smooth, to incorporate air, about 2 minutes. The sponge will be the consistency of a thick batter. Scrape down the sides of the bowl Set it aside, covered with plastic wrap, while you make the flour mixture.
2. Combine the ingredients for the flour mixture and add to the sponge. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour (reserve ¼ cup if mixing by hand), whole wheat flour, and yeast. Sprinkle this on top of the sponge and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Allow it to ferment for 1 to 4 hours at room temperature. (During this time the sponge will bubble through the flour mixture in places; this is fine.)
3. Mix the dough.
Mixer Method:
Add the oil and mix with the dough hook on low speed (#2 if using a KitchenAid) until the flour is moistened enough to form a rough dough. Scrape down any bits of dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle on the salt and knead the dough on medium speed (#4 KitchenAid) for 7 minutes. It will be smooth and shiny and cling slightly to your fingers, If it is still very sticky, knead in a little flour. If it is not at all sticky, spray it with a little water and knead it in. (It will weigh about 17 ounces/ 490 grams.) Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and roll it into a rectangle about 9 inches by 14 inches. Sprinkle with the chopped almonds and cut-up figs. Roll up the dough and knead it for a few minutes to incorporate the almonds and figs evenly. Shape it into a ball.
Hand Method:
Add the oil and salt and, with a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until the flour is moistened. Knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together, then scrape it onto a lightly floured counter. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, enough to develop the gluten structure a little, adding as little of the reserved ¼ cup of flour as possible to keep it from sticking. use a bench scraper to scrape the dough and gather it together as you knead it. At this point, it will be very sticky. Cover it with the inverted bowl and allow it to rest for 20 minutes. (This resting time will make the dough less sticky and easier to work with.)
Knead the dough for another 5 minutes or until it is very smooth and elastic. It should still be moist enough to cling slightly to your fingers. If it is very sticky, add some of the remaining reserved flour, or a little extra. (The dough will weigh about 17 ounces/490 grams.) Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 9 inches by 14 inches, and sprinkle with the almonds and cut-up figs. Roll up the dough and knead it for a few minutes to incorporate the almonds and figs evenly. Shape it into a ball.
Both Methods:
4. Let the dough rise. Set the dough in a 4-quart dough-rising container or bowl, lightly greased with cooking spray or oil. Press down the dough and lightly spray or oil the top. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. With a piece of tape, mark the side of the container at approximately where double the height of the dough would be. Allow the dough to rise (ideally at 75°F to 80°F) until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
Using an oiled spatula or dough scraper, scrape the dough out into a floured counter, and press down on it gently to form a rectangle. Fold the dough into a tight package or give it 2 business letter turns, and set it back in the container. Oil the surface again, cover, and mark where double the height of the dough would now be. It will fill the container fuller than before because it is puffier with air. Allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. Shape the dough, encrust it with almonds, and let it rise. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and press down on it gently to flatten it slightly. Round the dough into a 4 ½ -inch ball and lightly spray or brush the surface with water. Scatter the almonds on a counter. Roll the ball of dough in the almonds to cover it completely, pressing the nuts into the dough. Firmly push the whole fig, pointed end down, into the center so that it is submerged as deeply as possible into the dough. The loaf will measure 5 inches by 1 ½ -inches high.
Place it on the baking sheet or the La Cloche base. Cover it with a large container, or cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. It will be about 5 ½ inches by 3 inches high, and when it is pressed gently with a fingertip, the depression will very slowly fill in. press any remaining almonds into the empty spaces created by the dough's expansion.
6. Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F, or 450°F if using La Cloche, 1 hour before baking. Have an oven shelf at the lowest level and place an oven stone or baking sheet on before preheating. If using La Cloche, preheat the dome along with the oven.
7. Bake the bread. If using La Cloche, carefully place the hot dome onto the base and quickly but gently set it on the hot stone or hot baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 400°F and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will read about 190°F).
Alternatively, quickly but gently set the baking sheet on the hot stone or hot baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Lower the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will read about 190°F.) If the nuts begin to brown, tent the loaf loosely with aluminum foil. Halfway through baking, turn the pan around for even baking.
8. Glaze the bread. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix the apricot jelly and water together. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. With a spoon, press the preserves through a strainer to make a smooth glaze.
When the bread is done, remove it from the oven and brush It with the hot apricot glaze. Return it to the oven for 1 minute to set the glaze.
9. Cool the bread. Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Ultimate Full Flavor Variation:
For the best flavor development, in Step 2, allow the sponge to ferment for 1 hour at room temperature, then refrigerate it for 8 to 24 hours. If using the hand mixing method, remove it from the refrigerator about 1 hour before mixing the dough.
Time Schedule:
Dough Starter (Sponge): minimum 1 hour, maximum 24 hours
Minimum Rising Time: about 3 ½ hours
Baking Time: 40 to 45 minutes
Pointers for Success:
Unbleached all-purpose flour could be used for this bread, but I prefer bread flour, which produces a crumb with a chewier texture, more compatible with the texture of the figs and nuts.
Slivered almonds are thicker than sliced almonds and when chopped offer a coarser texture to the crumb. They are easier to chop than whole almonds, which also work well. If unblanched, meaning the nuts still have their brown skin, they add a little more flavor. Sliced almonds make the most beautiful decoration for outside of the loaf.
The Dough Percentage:
Flour: 100% bread
Water: 54.5%
Yeast: 0.98%
Salt: 2.6%
Oil: 2.8

Is Michael Vick Still the Most Hated Athlete?
The Philadelphia Eagles disappointed in 2011 and didn't make the playoffs, but at least they can say their quarterback Michael Vick is No. 1! Unfortunately, it's for the wrong reason Tom Van Riper, Forbes.com and Yahoo! spent the last few months gathering data through various polls to find out that Vick is still America's most disliked athlete.

The Idiotish writing system was created by Alex Book for his constructed language, Idiotish. The name comes from the fact that the language is so easy compared to other languages that anyone can learn it. There is no distinction between "good" and "well", no irregular verbs, no gender for objects, no case inflections, and only one way of saying "you". The vocabulary is taken from various languages, plus onomatopoeia.

Jose Maria Lopez will race for the new USF1 team this season, according to his spokesman Miguel Mattos.
USF1 is the only Formula One team who has yet to official confirm a single driver for 2010 Championship.
And although the team initially stated that they would only be looking at American drivers, time constraints forced them to look elsewhere.
Finances also meant that paying drivers caught the eye of USF1 co-owner Peter Windsor, who on Friday reportedly wrapped up talks with Lopez after the money the 26-year-old needed to race was put together by a group of companies backing the Argentine.
"Everything has been agreed and the official announcement will be made on Monday," his spokesman told Reuters.
Lopez's signing will see him become the first Argentine to race in F1 since Gaston Mazzacane, who competed in 2000 and 2001 seasons.

User Feedback from A Popular Muscle Building Forum
Kyle Leon Review
The creator of this program is Kyle Leon who is no doubt a big name in fitness industry where he has dedicated his entire life. Kyle is not just a trainer but a source of motivation for others as he built his own body with what he recommends to others.
Noticeable Cons
- The first con is that this program can only be accessed by those who have the facility to access online resources. If one does not have computer or other devices on which digital books can be used, you can't get full benefits from this program.
- Kyle has given 1400+ recipes in nutrition section which should be enough to make the users confused but if they use common sense and follow Kyle simple instructions, there should be no more confusion.
Noticeable Pros
- It is a complete fat loss and muscles building program which brings you everything you need to achieve your dream body.
- There are simple exercises and nutrition plans and each and everything has the clear instructions so the readers don't have any problem when try to utilize the resources.
- It is a customizable program which will allow you to fit everything according to your actual requirement which means you won't have to force yourself to bring some big changes.
- You will be given access to video streaming and if you have a good internet connection, this facility will double the benefits you want to get from this program.
Verdict – Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer Scam???
As mentioned above that this is a popular program, it has been tested by a large number of people wanting to get their dream body and most of them who could express their opinions in one way or the other have found Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer very satisfactory as they have successfully achieved what they always wanted. Another good thing about this program which allows the users to try this without any fear is Full Money Back Guarantee for 60 Days.

The Match V provides lots of winners
The Watertown Golf Club and the Country Club of Waterbury played The Match V Sunday, at Waterbury, and it ended All Square after 19 holes. After five years of play between the two clubs, the results now stand at two wins each, with one tie. An estimated crowd of 250 helped raise more than $10,000 for various charities, including the Connecticut PGA Foundation.
Watertown director of golf Mike Carney played the first hole but retired due to injury, and Watertown assistant pro Spencer Baughn joined head pro Ian Marchall for the club. Tom Gleeton and Brad Colt were the Waterbury pros.
Neither club opened a big lead, but the hole of the day came on 18. With Waterbury 1 down, Gleeton made a clutch 10-foot birdie putt to tie the match. The teams played one extra hole and agreed to call the match a tie after 19.

10 volunteers, 10 middle school students, 10 weeks! We built from kits 10 solar powered race cars and modified and tested them to eventually be race cars driven by two C batteries. Our after school project is fast and furious as we experimented our way towards the high speed finish. 4th graders speak about how they got introduced to amateur car racing and why it is fun. We have 10 corporate volunteers who knew nothing about model car building 2 months ago. See us demonstrate our racing skills outdoors and with enough sun, without batteries…fully green.

|Vanilla ice cream fans are purists. This recipe delivers. The seeds are scraped out of three whole vanilla beans, and the pods are then added as well for luxurious, powerful vanilla flavor. Cook's Note: For an easy, short-cut version (for more or less "ordinary" vanilla ice cream), see our basic recipe(s) listed on this site under "4 Ice Cream Bases."
|2 cups, heavy cream
1 cup, whole milk
3/4 cup, sugar
1/8 teaspoon, salt
3 vanilla beans – halved lengthwise
2 large eggsSpecial Equipment: an instant-read thermometer, an ice cream maker
In a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and salt. With tip of a knife, scrape the seeds from the halved vanilla beans into the cream mixture, then drop in the vanilla pods. Bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a large metal bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the hot cream mixture to the eggs in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then pour the entire mixture into a saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and registers 170 – 175 degrees on an instant-read thermometer; do not allow the mixture to boil. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean metal bowl; discard the vanilla pods.
Cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then refrigerate it, covered, until very cold – at least 3 hours. Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and put it in the freezer to harden.
If you can't find vanilla beans (or wish to take this shortcut), add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the custard, just before chilling it.
The custard can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours
The ice cream can be made up to 1 week ahead, and packed airtight in the freezer.
Recipe adapted from The Gourmet Cookbook by Ruth Reichl (Houghton Mifflin)

Bangladesh: Women emerge from poverty
On her 18th birthday Mussamat Baby Parveen wed the man her parents had chosen for her. By her 19th birthday she was pregnant and had run away from her husband's home. His drug addiction had spiraled out of control, he was beating her, and she worried he would eventually kill both mother and child, she explained.
Parveen moved back in with her father, but three weeks after her daughter was born he died.
- Less than a third of Bangladeshi live below the national poverty line, a reduction attained in as little as a decade.
- Women, whether the four million working in the thriving textiles export industry or those with micro businesses such as backyard poultries and vegetable patches, are at the heart of this success.
- Thanks to a UNDP cash-for-work programme for poor rural women, 91 percent of the children of participating women now attend school, compared to a previous 57 percent.
"I begged and borrowed from everyone I knew and somehow managed to feed my child with whatever came my way," says Parveen, who is now 24. With mounting debts she lied about her skills to get a job that paid more at a textiles factory.
"I was scared they would fire me. I didn't know how to operate the machine," she says, "but I had no other option."
And then, the day before she was to join her new workplace, Parveen's name came up in a lottery for participation in a UNDP cash-for-work programme for destitute rural women. She was one of 24,000 women selected to repair roads in villages across Bangladesh in exchange for daily wages and job training.
"That day changed my life," says Parveen, sitting in the roadside shanty that is her store.
With the money she earned, Parveen made some smart investments.
"I started saving every week and in two years I had enough money to buy some land which I leased out to sharecroppers. I also managed to buy a cow and a goat, and I reared them, and sold them for a profit," she says.
In two years' time, Baby had enough money to set up a grocery store in her village, earning her a steady income of more than US$10 a day. In fact, 96 percent of participating women invested in small businesses, with two third making capital gains and 81 percent able to regularly feed their families on a daily basis. The UNDP programme has resulted in 17.9 million workdays in total, leading to road repairs for 25,000 kilometres of road that connect local communities to vital services such as schools, markets and hospitals.
The latest Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Progress Report indicates that less than a third of people in Bangladesh now live below the national poverty line, a reduction attained in as little as a decade. New research has shown that women have been the centerpiece of this impressive human development turnaround. As women emerge from endemic poverty, they prioritise their children's education and nutrition over most other spending.
"Bangladesh's poverty reduction is an achievement on a massive scale – that no one would have believed was possible ten years ago," says economist Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad. "Successive governments have focused on creating employment and growth in the rural economy; and the participation of women in the labor force through opportunities created by the Government as well as non-governmental organizations has been an important element of this success."

Pass the sauce and wipes, please
Posted on: April 11, 2010 | Comments(3) | Race Tracks |
When seeking dinner suggestions in Birmingham, there are quality options to cover every day of the year.
Opinions about BBQ, though, are as numerous as restaurants. It seems everyone has their favorite – from Mom and Pop's such as Miss Myra's Pit Bar B Q to a swankier sauce experience (where the napkins are linen). "Have you tried?" a member of the Bruno Event staff at Barber Motorsports Park responds to an inquiry, only to be met with "No, I have a better place" by a member of the Zoom Motorsports promotion group.
This weekend, being the fourth visit to the city and Barber Motorsports Park, our travel group has hit a cross-section – from the quintessential Dreamland (with a loaf a white bread plopped in the center of your table; on a plate, of course) to the Full Moon (with its slogan "The Best Little Pork House in Alabama").
Regional variations abound, and Birmingham area is known for its sweet tomato-based sauce. Northern Alabama is known for its distinctive white sauce (mayonnaise- and vinegar-based). No thanks.
Another good thing for those involved with the Indy Racing League – coming up on the schedule is another city known for its barbeque (Kansas City). Pass the wipes, please.

baking, bike commuting, coconut flour, friday, lemon, muffins, Paleo, recipe
Well that wraps up my first week/three days of biking into work. I like to ease into it so I drove on Monday and Friday, just to give my legs a break. If the weather stays warm (doubtful) and the roads stay dry (also doubtful), then hopefully I'll be biking full time by next week!
Have any fun plans for the weekend? I have a cooking class on Sunday, which I'm quite excited for. Maybe my cooking will become less random/thrown together. Before I sign off, I'll leave you with a recipe for the weekend.
I'm kind of obsessed with miniature muffins lately. I don't know if its because I love that you can have 2-3 of them at a time or if it's because I prefer using my new mini-muffin trays versus the old-gross-hand-me-down regular size muffin trays, but I am definitely addicted to them. I've made a few variations but the coconut lemon ones are by far my favorite. Enjoy!
Ingredients (18 mini-muffins)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Splash of coconut milk if mixture is too thick
- Stevia (optional)
preheat oven to 375F
mix all dry ingredients together (coconut flour, flakes and baking powder)
mix in eggs
add lemon juice and stevia
scoop 1 into a muffin pan
bake 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the muffin tray and until top is browned

The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin PersonBy Judith S. Beck, PhDOxmoor House Inc. (2007)Reviewed by Lisa Dorfman, MS, RD, CSSD, LMHC
This book claims you will:
This is not a typical diet plan in which the dieter is told what to eat and when. Rather, it is based on a cognitive therapy where the reader learns how to eat healthfully through psychological changes. During the first two weeks of the program, the reader prepares by committing to a new step each day.
In Week One, the reader considers the advantages of losing weight; eats sitting down, slowly and mindfully; selects a reasonable diet plan one can stick to; finds a diet coach; and rearranges their surrounding environment to avoid temptations. In Week Two, the reader sets realistic health goals and organizes the diet while learning to recognize the difference between hunger and cravings. On Day 15, the reader actually begins the diet they selected (online or from another book or source). The reader is also told to exercise, although no suggestions are made as to how much or when.
The rest of the six-week program focuses on how to deal with dieting from a psychological standpoint, with an emphasis on giving yourself credit for succeeding and not punishing yourself for minor setbacks. It also addresses how to deal with disappointment - like an unwanted number on the scale or falling from your set diet plan - and how to get back on track after a setback.
Beck offers many good tools to help a person adopt healthful lifestyle, such as taking the time to sit down and eat slowly and exercising - including how to add spontaneous physical activity into the day (for example, parking in the far corner of a lot and walking the distance). The book also covers kitchen arrangement and what to do when your weight loss plateaus.
The reader is required to write down his or her goals and anticipated reactions to certain situations throughout the book; this is good for someone who has trouble dealing with spontaneous situations, such as what to do when someone pressures you to eat birthday cake. It focuses on taking control of an emotional eating problem and staying strong when you feel pressure from outside sources through building self esteem, confidence and realizing the importance of yourself and your health.
I would recommend this book to a yo-yo dieter who feels she has tried every diet but just keeps gaining the weight back. This book is not a crash diet but instead helps develop eating behaviors for life. The reader is told to set realistic goals (like a five-pound weight loss) and to celebrate each time that goal is reached, rather than immediately setting a goal of 30 pounds. The importance of slow, steady weight loss (about one to two pounds per week) is emphasized in this book, as is the importance of committing oneself for life and not just quitting once the goal weight is reached.

We founded Racers Against Childhood Cancer (RACC) in 2007 with the simple understanding that kid's should get the opportunity to do all the things that kids like to and want to do. Kid's with cancer don't have time. They need treatment now and ultimatly need a cure. It has been our hope, and our inspiration continues to be that we can one day close the doors on RACC because a cure has been found and this organization is no longer needed. We are proud to continue to raise awareness about children's cancer and to raise money for children's cancer research. There are many ways to get involved in RACC including joining our team, volunteering, attending one of the many fundraising functions that include golf outings, brat frys, poker runs and many other events. We are so thankful for all of the people who support and donate to RACC to help us fight childhood cancer. At RACC we are racing for Kid's with cancer.
Cole and Jenny Braun
To use the passion and competitive spirit of racers to raise awareness and money for research and the fight to defeat childhood cancer.

"I shouldn't have to pay $20 for rice and beans," we whine, even as we shell out the same amount for upscale noodles and tomatoes. "We already have plenty of Mexican restaurants here," we claim, then rush to try whatever's opened this month, only to abandon it for whatever opens the next. Granted, not every attempt at upscale Mexican has been worthy -- we were happy to say adios to Señorita's -- but others, such as the also defunct Cafe Iguana, had more going for them than Denver diners were willing to admit. Or support.
Now's the time to put our money where our mouths should be. An undeniably upscale Mexican restaurant, Tamayo carries all the key ingredients for success: a nationally recognized owner; a talented local chef; a roster of interesting, creative dishes; a kitchen that's capable of executing those dishes; a service staff that tries hard, knows its stuff and smiles a lot; and tequilas -- lots of tequilas. Not to mention the best view from a rooftop patio in town, overlooking the mountains from the edge of Larimer Square.

Richard Sandoval started preparing for his career as a restaurateur when he was a tyke in Acapulco, where his family owned two well-known eateries. With cooking firmly entrenched in his psyche, he moved to New York to attend the Culinary Institute of America, and not long after graduation -- and right after earning Mexico's National Toque D'Oro, or chef of the year, honor -- he opened Savann and Savann East, two contemporary French spots that flank Manhattan. But Sandoval always felt the pull of his native cuisine, and a few years later he started Maya, a contemporary Mexican restaurant. He later sold both Savanns and focused on expanding Maya, opening another restaurant in San Francisco and, this year, launching Tamayo -- named for the late, much beloved Mexican artist Rufín Tamayo -- in both Denver and West Palm Beach. The Tamayos feature the same menu as the Mayas, and Sandoval jets back and forth between them all while also working on a soon-to-be-released cookbook and an as-yet-unnamed PBS cooking show.
To keep the center holding, Marco Colantonio, the director of operations who's overseen all four Maya/Tamayo restaurants from the start, has taken up permanent residence in Denver. He watches over a room that's been transformed from its days as Cadillac Ranch, with mottled-butter walls accented by artist Tamayo's murals, and an inviting, mosaic-dominated bar. Sean Yontz mans the kitchen, a smart choice given his good sense of taste and twist displayed over a decade spent cooking at Zenith, Cafe Iguana and other Kevin Taylor projects. Released from the inevitable constraints of the longtime Taylor collaboration, Yontz seems in his element. Although Tamayo's recipes all come from Sandoval, Yontz's unmistakable precision and tight execution are very much in evidence.
Yontz also brought a valuable knowledge of Denver's diners. "Richard's recipes are all great and well conceived," he says. "But there are a few dishes, like the lamb, that I don't think Denver diners are getting. So we're looking at that dish, and I think we're going to make some changes to make it more palatable to this market. And we may change a few other things to fit in better with the way Denver eats."
But Yontz has found himself pleasantly surprised by those same diners' willingness to try dishes well outside the usual Mexican repertoire of green chile, burritos and anything covered with cheap, gloppy cheese. Not that those things are inherently bad, but there's much, much more to Mexican cooking than the Americanized items we're so fond of in this town. Tamayo gives us a taste of what's out there: manchego cheese (a salty, nutty sheep's milk cheese from La Mancha, Spain), plantains, achiote, rajas (bell-pepper strips), jicama, crema fresca (Mexico's answer to crème fraîche) and huitlacoche (pronounced "wheet-la-ko-chay"), the black corn smut that's regarded as crop-ruining fungus by most farmers in these parts but is considered a delicacy in Mexico. For anyone who values the heady, bold flavors of Périgord truffles and foie gras, corn smut is nothing short of heaven. It's also expensive and sometimes hard to find, as is the case right now. Although Yontz has Maya sending a case out from New York, Tamayo was out of it when we visited. So we didn't get to try the huitlacoche dumplings that usually come in the sopa de elote, or maize soup, a dreamy-textured, creamy concoction made from roasted corn. The kitchen did have a bottle of huitlacoche-pumped vinaigrette, though, and it had been used to add a stunning, purplish-black decorative element as well as some earthy flavor.
The gazpacho was another wonderful soup, a tangy, avocado-based take on the traditional Spanish recipe that boasted a well-melded blend of all of the flavors except for the cucumber, which brought a sweet undertone. More sweetness came from the mound of lump crabmeat shreds that adorned the top of the soup, along with tiny puddles of chile mulatto oil. Dried, the mulatto chile looks kind of like an ancho, but it's darker and has a faint sugariness, as well as an earthy quality that cut the gazpacho's richness.

Opinions on 29-30Ft Downeast
Looking to get some opinions on a 29-30ft downeast in regards to sea keeping abilities and performance from those who have been on these hulls. Looking at the 29ft H and H, 30 Calvin Beal Southshore, and the 30 Ft Young Brothers hull. Looking for headsea and following sea performance as well as drift characteristics. Also looking for a 19-20 Knot cruise and what type of HP needed. Want 200 gallons minimum of fuel also. Have fished on a 31 Duffy with 440 hp Cummins and cruise is 21-22 at 16-17 GPH with flat calm conditions and 18 knots in 4-5 fters but the seem to be priced real high even used.
Thanks Eric

Interested in replies to this as well from owners & those with experience on these hulls. They are all skeg boats, but my guess is that the H&H will offer the best ride of the three. The Southshore is a pretty boat, that's for sure.

Have heard alot of great things about the 29 H and H and know of a few 30 Southshores that regularly run all over including to Georges to fish Tuna but some say the arent great performers, not sure if this is from people who have actually been on them in crappy conditions or not.

Robert I really like the 30 Southshore and if things work out financially I will be in a position in a couple of ,months to do something but really have to wait for things to get squared away at work first. I do like the 29 H and H and would consider one as a basic new build with the right power and fuel capacity and I could add stuff later. Your boat is real nice also and when I am ready I would look for something similar. Might go used even if it doesnt have the power I want and run it for a season or 2 and repower as long as it has the fuel requirements. I am fortunate to be able to fish on some real nice boats so maybe i will wait a bit.

Remember the best boat is a friends boat.
My rig will most likely be up for sale end of next season. I have a bunch obligations that include my boat and my wife's charity next season.
That and some up and down realistate headaches, have pushed off any boat plans.
That and I change my mind like my shorts.
Good luck

If you are considering a basic new build, another one to put on your list (it would be at the top of my list) is the new 30' Calvin Beal by SW Boatworks. 12' beam, room for a large efficient prop, very proven design, fast and efficient.

I have a friend that sold his 30' South shore to buy a Wayne Beal 34',he has been trying to sell it so he can buy another 30' SS.I couldn't believe it when he told me but he claimed the 30' was better hauling his outside gear in rough weather,the guy is a good fisherman & puts in some hard days,it was one of the reasons I went with the 30'SS.I only wish I knew how mine will go with outboard power,April can't come soon enough!

Casey Wheldon turns beloved film and television into intriguing and witty drawings with his surreal pop culture art.
It might be difficult to decipher some of his references as he sometimes picks from obscure places and combines them with other fiction. A lot of his references come from older generations from as late as the 70s in Star Wars and the 80s and 90s in The Goonies and My Little Pony.
Casey Wheldon is known for often depicting surreal pop culture through his bizarre imagery and vision in the form of Bill Murray and Wes Anderson movies. This work has been featured on Trend Hunter before, along with his four-eyed cats that might just give you a case of double vision.
