great recipe
July 25, 2011 9:01 AM
no check cilantro
If you buy cilantro or any other greens (parsley, dill, mint) that have been processed and pre-checked for bugs, you don't have to check. You should soak them in water with a drop of dish soap for about 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
It is very difficult to check the above if they have been grown in the usual way. You should ask your rav what to do.
Healthy, delicious eating to all!
July 28, 2011 5:44 PM
Read the Instructions
No need to soak and soap them unless the instructions say to do so!
July 24, 2011 6:40 PM
Too much!
Too spicy: pepper, cilantro and soy sauce, which is salty! It does sounds low calorie, but it could use some protein, chopped egg whites, added.
July 25, 2011 8:58 AM
pepper=red bell pepper which is the opposite of spicy (AKA sweet).
if you want to add a protein-add one!!!! and use less or low sodium soy sauce if you want. wow why do people have to be SO negetive all the time??????? do ALL recipes have to be custom made for everyone????????? it drives me CRAZY. people have to learn to improvise instead of complain!!!!!!!!
July 25, 2011 5:34 PM
partly right, partly wrong
You're right: improvising is better than complaining. But won't it be better to give this advice in a positive -rather than negative- way?
July 24, 2011 3:14 PM
You mention to check the pepper, but doesn't cilantro need checking too?
July 24, 2011 1:13 PM
Great video
Looks delicious!

This book, compiled from basic Hindu writings, is an exploration of the essential meaning of the Hindu tradition, the way of thinking and acting that has dominated life in India for the last three-thousand years. Selections from religious, literary and philosophic works are preceded by introductory material that summarizes historical developments and cultural movements. The arrangement of the material suggests the growth and development of Indian life through centuries.
The selections range in time from the Rig Veda, composed around 1000 B.C., to the writings of Radhakrishnan, formerly the President of India. They illustrate both the continuity of the Hindu tradition and its vitality.

Joe Thompson, National Academy of Public Administration
A House panel recently held back-to-back hearings: one with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the agency's budget request, and the other with the authors of a report on security at NASA centers. NASA is under pressure to show Congress it's tightening security following a high-profile case of a Chinese spy and other cybersecurity breaches that have flown under the radar. NASA requested a review of its security procedures after spotting some red flags. Joe Thompson, project director of the National Academy of Public Administration, organized the review. He told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the study. Read Federal News Radio's related article.

Texas & Germany: Energy Twins?
In many respects Germany and Texas could not be more different. One is cold and northern and Old World, the other hot and dry and New World. Yet Germany and Texas have some intriguing similarities when it comes to their electricity systems, and may share a common future.[read more]
Germany's Energiewende is Shifting the Energy Paradigm, Now it's Time to Optimize
Revolutionary paradigm shifts will quite often require the complex and cohesive development of many moving parts, some of which advance more quickly than others in practice. Germany's revolutionary Energiewende (or "energy transition") is no exception.[read more]
While Critics Debate Energiewende, Germany is Gaining a Global Advantage
Economics is the focus of many debates surrounding Germany's aggressive "energy transition" (or Energiewende), which plans to move the country to nearly 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. Critics say Energiewende's costs are unjustifiable, and at first glance, it's hard to argue with them.[read more]
Will Germany Join the International Community and Restrict Overseas Coal Finance?
If Germany is so coal friendly, why is it contemplating a significant move away from international coal financing? Because the international community has moved swiftly and quickly to end coal financing, and Germany doesn't want to be an outlier.[read more]
Energy Reality Meets Climate Reality
In recent years and as part of the overall push to generate more renewable energy in Germany, considerable wind energy capacity has been installed in this region. While the current level of generation from wind is laudable, it is far from 100% renewable energy.[read more]
Has Ukraine Shot Itself in the Foot With Gas Pipeline Deal?
Last week, Ukrainian PM Yatsenyuk pushed a bill through the Verkhovna Rada that would see his country's gas transportation system sold off to a group of international investors. This decision may hurt the fragile industrial recovery in Germany and finish off Ukraine's potential as a gas transit route to Europe.[read more]
Energy Quote of the Day: "Whatever Difficulties Arise this Winter, Gazprom is Helping you Prepare"
Relations between Moscow and the West have deteriorated to the lowest levels since the Cold War over Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Strict economic sanctions have been initiated by western governments and intergovernmental organizations against strategic sectors of Russia's economy.[read more]
'Germany, Want to Rid Yourself of Russian Gas? Turbo-Charge the Energiewende!'
Last week, the US and the EU hit Russia with a new sanctions regime in order to punish its continued meddling in destabilizing Eastern Ukraine. The economic restrictions are dubbed 'Stage Three' sanctions, indicating the increased level of severity meant to further ratchet up costs to the Russian economy.[read more]
International Scorecard Highlights Room for Improvement in Energy Efficiency
A recent scan of energy efficiency in 16 nations showed that all fall short of their potential. But the collective wisdom among these countries offers a path forward. Following close upon their World Cup win in Brazil, Germany also comes in first in the latest International Energy Efficiency Scorecard.[read more]
German Lesson for Renewable Power Policies
The EU Commission recently unveiled new regulations for the period 2014 to 2020 to gradually phase out support for renewable energy technologies. In a press release the commission stated the guidelines are intended to "promote a gradual move to market-based support for renewable energy."[read more]
German Demand Response: Almost Ready for Prime Time
When the wind blows and the sun shines in Germany, electricity prices in the country plummet. Natural gas peaker plants are not needed, as the peaks are erased and they cannot compete with renewables. But the grid still needs a lot of balancing resources during times that renewables dominate.[read more]
Germany's Energiewende Troubles Prove That Renewable Energy Has Failed. And Other Strange Ideas
What has been obvious to me for a long time now appears to have become obvious to many others: Germany's energy policy is a confused mess. Germany's energy revolution is, in the words of New Scientist, "on the verge of collapse." And it was all rather predictable.[read more]
Why Germany's Nuclear Phase Out is Leading to More Coal Burning
In 2012 Germany's Environment Minister opened a new lignite power plant, arguing the following: "If one builds a new state-of-the-art lignite power plant to replace several older and much less efficient plants, then I feel this should also be acknowledged as a contribution to our climate protection efforts."[read more]
The Effect of Intermittent Renewables on Electricity Prices in Germany
Falling electricity prices offer a good demonstration of how quickly the market discounts intermittent renewables as penetration increases, thereby further eroding the already-poor competitiveness of these types of electricity sources.[read more]
Time-Lapse Image of 27GW of PV [VIDEO]
Here is an awesome time-lapse video that shows both the deployment and the geographic spread of PV in Germany since January of 2009. The video is short, sharp, sweet, and powerful. Unless, of course, you own a coal fired power station.[read more]
"Bob, Biking five weeks through the mountains of Kashmir this summer, I stayed in a number of those not grid connected villages. Some are so far off the nearest grid that they won't get a grid connection soon.Most houses each had a small PV-panel (<0.5m² or so) with a battery and a few LED lights. Only few had a standard PV-panel. Often such panel + battery was shared between a few houses. A ..."
"Ah yes the move away from 'most' fossil fuels. But CCS is still retained for industry. Steel making uses about 14% of the worlds coal and there are few clear paths to decarbonisation. Cement is in a similar boat with a larger footprint and growth prospects. Both industries alone account for maybe 15% of world emissions."
"Combine the neanderthal 10% eff. PV cell with a twice-wider heliostat and, presto, you've got yourself a 40% efficiency. Except, it's a sham as the installation is now 4x larger.Why not use an even larger heliostat and go for 200% ?"
"That is an ideological argument for people who simply "Don't Like" the idea of CCS. If one were being objective about it and motivated by desire to mitigate climate change, the metric one would look at is cost per ton of avoided CO2 emissions. On the basis of that metric, my entirely unsupported ..."

"I used this product as thank you notes for our newborn son. They were delivered with days and are of the same heavy stock as other Tiny Prints note cards. The ink is clear and precise. My favorite feature is that I was able to add a picture of my son on the back of the note card."

The Ellensburg City Council gave its unanimous endorsement last week to Central Washington University's facilities master plan update for 2013.
Bill Yarwood, CWU's facilities planning and construction services director, outlined the plan's greatest hits for the Council.
In the short term, the plan calls for addressing projects like Central's tennis courts, starting this summer.
Utility work on D Street, which is already underway, will continue, and will create road closures, planned for late July.
A committee has been working with the city and county on reconnecting the John Wayne Trail through campus.

They used the money left over to get Carlos Beltran, still an All-Star caliber player, on a short-term, low-risk deal.Not only are they well-equipped to compete for a title this year, their farm system might have more top-flight prospects than any system right now.
They will probably let Lance Berkman walk after this year because they have two capable young 1B in Matt Adams and Allen Craig who are capable of putting up a .900 OPS for a dirt-cheap salary.
2B Kolten Wong, the club's 2011 first round pick, is developing into a well-rounded player that can hit for average, get on-base, hit for extra-base power and run. He looks like a perennial All-Star at the keystone sack and he will be a starter at some point next year.
OF Oscar Taveras is a Vladimir Guerrero-type who is going to compete for batting titles. He hit .386 in the Midwest League last year! His bat control is uncanny. Its amazing how he squares up the ball with the barrel over and over. Houston GM Jeff Ludnow once said "he's the type of player that will sell tickets one day."
And then you have Shelby Miller, a big bodied Texan who some liken to Matt Cain. He's just a phone call away at Memphis and profiles as a No. 1-2.
And he might not even be their highest ceiling pitcher because they also have fireballin' Carlos Martinez and his high-90s fastball.
The Cards might be in the best position than any organization in baseball. They are loaded!
Good stuff. Wong is killing it in Springfield. I haven't heard much about Tavaras yet, but yeah, the Cards have really built up the farm system over the past 4 or 5 seasons.

Arizona Diamondbacks
'Tireless' Willie Bloomquist gets season finale start for Diamondbacks
"Bitter Bill" teammates call him.
Soon to be 36, Arizona Diamondbacks utility man Willie Bloomquist has an unceasing displeasure with his performance, a non-stop striving.
Bitter is then one word you could use to describe him.
"Tireless" was the choice descriptor of Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson, who opted to start Bloomquist over his three other younger shortstops in the final game of the season.
"I've given the other guys quite a few opportunities to play," he explained of the decision prior to the game, which will decide whether the Diamondbacks have a losing or .500 season.
With Didi Gregorius, Cliff Pennington and, now, Chris Owings on the big league roster, Bloomquist's playing time has suffered throughout the season and he has seen more time in left field than anywhere else as of late.
"Nobody really knows who will be here next year and who won't be," Gibson added to his explanation.
For the aging Bloomquist, who is notorious for his intense, leave-it-all-on-the-field style of play, health has been the nagging question over the last two years. Since the beginning of the 2012 season, the 12-year veteran has taken three trips to the disabled list, twice with back issues. Dating back to 2011, he has been placed on the disabled list four times.
Despite his sporadic play, playing in only 47 games for the Diamondbacks this season prior to Sunday's season finale, Bloomquist has nonetheless accrued a .319 batting average this season to go along with a .363 on-base percentage. With runners in scoring position, he has been particularly valuable, managing an .884 on-base-plus-slugging percentage and a .400 batting average.
"Unfortunately this year, Willie has been on the disabled list more than he planned on," Gibson said. "But he's been a tireless worker for us and I know shortstop is his favorite spot, so I put him there."

AES Posts 125th Convention Events Calendar
SAN FRANCISCO: Now approaching the final weeks of a year-long process the 125th AES Convention Committee has posted a comprehensive Calendar of Events at http://www.aes.org/events/125/. Set for Oct. 2-5 at SFâs Moscone Center, the convention is designed to guide attendees towards optimizing the pre-planning of their visits, the easy-to-navigate, full-color schedule includes program titles and abstracts, participant names and drop-down boxes of indispensable information.
âThe 125th has all the markings of a watershed Convention,â? remarked AES Executive Director Roger Furness. âThe Committee has outdone itself in developing an expansive, informative, entertaining and extremely useful program. The Workshops, Papers, Tutorials, Technical Tours, Platinum, Broadcast, Live Sound, Student, Historical and Special Events planned for the 125th Conventions will appeal to literally every sector of the professional audio community.â?
Committee Co-Chair John Strawn adds, âWe are extremely proud of the way this Convention has come together. Every member of our team has proved indispensable. The pleasure of collaborating with these selfless volunteers almost compensates for the long hours and moderately nourishing luncheons we endured. While we will be fine-tuning times, locations and participants for some events, The Calendar will provide attendees with a detailed overview of one of the most outstanding technical programs the AES has ever developed. It is indispensable for planning their Convention schedules.â?
âOur Exhibition Hall will be crowded with manufacturers introducing new technology,â? Roger Furness adds. âThe opportunity to discuss these innovations and engage in one-on-one conversations with product developers is one of the prime attractions of AES Conventions. This yearâs event promises to provide numerous opportunities for user/developer interaction, invariably a win/win situation.â?

Land O'Lakes Inc. on Wednesday reported third-quarter net earnings of $18 million, a solid performance anchored in the company's dairy and animal feed businesses.
The Arden Hills-based co-operative posted sales of $3 billion, up from $2.8 billion a year earlier. Profits bounced back from a $30 million loss in last year's third quarter, when dairy market declines coupled with the timing of corporate expenses and investments led to red ink.
"We are pleased to report a strong third quarter, driven by significantly improved results in Dairy Foods and sharply higher earnings in our Feed operations, Purina Animal Nutrition," Land O'Lakes CEO Chris Policinski said in a statement.
Year to date, the co-op reported sales of $10.4 billion compared with $9.7 billion in 2011's first nine months. Earnings for the first three quarters were $150 million compared with $138 million a year ago.
Land O'Lakes said its pesticide and herbicide business, WinField, is on track for a record year.

Parisse rallies side ahead of Scotland clash
ESPNscrum Staff
March 16, 2012
Sergio Parisse will hope to lead his charges to victory © Getty Images
Italy No.8 Sergio Parisse has rallied his side ahead of their wooden spoon decider with Scotland calling on his charges to win the match for Jacques Brunel.
The Azzurri are without a win in Brunel's first tournament in charge since he succeeded Nick Mallett and must beat the Scots to avoid the wooden spoon. Parisse's team came close to defeating England in their only previous home match in the tournament, losing 19-15 in no small part to Charlie Hodgson's charge-down try.
Now the Italians are keen to finish with a flourish against an opposition they beat at home in 2008 and 2010. Parisse said: "It's a fundamental match. There's not just the desire to play a great match but there's also the pressure to get a positive result.
"The reality is that both Scotland and ourselves have played good matches in this Six Nations. We've both been close to getting good results but at the end we find ourselves in this last match playing (to avoid) last place.
"It's not disappointing to play them for last place, it's a match like all the others, and even more so because it's at home and we have a responsibility to play well in front of our fans. Against England we were very bitter so tomorrow we have the possibility to play Scotland.
"It's very important for our group and for Jacques because it's not easy to start with a Six Nations tournament like this. A win could help him continue his work with more serenity."
Italy have only once recorded more than one win in the Six Nations since joining the tournament in 2000. Parisse is determined the record is improved upon in future. "It's very important for us to be more consistent as a team," he added. "I think we can match anyone in the Six Nations but we have to be consistent.
"We need to be able to put in good performances week in week out."
Italy were today forced into a late change after hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini failed to recover from a foot injury. Ghiraldini's place in the side has been taken by Aironi's Fabio Ongaro, taking the number of changes to seven following the 24-3 loss to Wales in Cardiff last week.
Giovambattista Venditti replaces Luke McLean on the right wing while Tommaso Benvenuti will start at centre. Benetton Treviso's Edoardo Gori replaces Fabio Semenzato at scrum-half while Simone Favaro drops to the bench with flanker Robert Barbieri taking his place in the starting XV.
Aironi lock Marco Bortolami replaces Cornelius Van Zyl to earn his 93rd cap. Leicester Tigers prop Martin Castrogiovanni has recovered from a fractured rib that saw him miss the last two games and will start this weekend.

Product description
The first Danish language version of this book, published in 1971, was very much a protest against the functionalistic principles for planning cities and residential areas that prevailed during that period. The book carried an appeal to show concern for the people who were to move about between buildings, and it urged an understanding of the subtle, almost indefinable - but definite - qualities, which have always related to the interaction of people in public spaces, and it pointed to the life between buildings as a dimension of architecture that needs to be carefully treated. Now 40 years later, many architectural trends and ideologies have passed by over the years. These intervening years have also shown that the liveliness and liveability of cities and residential areas continues to be a important issue. The intensity in which fine public spaces are used at this point in time, as well as the greatly increased general interest in the quality of cities and their public spaces emphasises this point. The character of life between buildings changes with changes in any given social context, but the essential principles and quality criteria to be employed when working with life between buildings has proven to be remarkably constant. Though this work over the years has been updated and revised several times, this version bears little resemblance with the very early versions, however there was no reason to change the basic message: Take good care of the life between your buildings.

I want to get a still (checking local laws first of course) and have been making wine for a few years. I was wondering that if I had 3 gallons of fruit wine that was ready to be bottled, how much brandy would I get if I stilled it instead? It'll probably be 12% at bottling.
distilling without a license is illegal at the federal level so be careful not to make too much.....also announcing that your going to be doing this on the internet probably isnt the best idea.....good luck

Carson Homes
With a great moderate climate, lots of sunshine, little rain, and plenty of room to grow, Carson real estate has much to offer both families and single individuals looking for city life at a slightly slower pace.
Carson real estate development is actively underway all over the city with successful implementation of projects such as the award-winning Vellagio Apartments, the gated community of Dominguez Hills Village, and the South Bay Pavilion. The median price for a home in Carson is $330,000.
With a population of about 90,000-95,000 people and a location just 13 miles south of Los Angeles, a Carson home still offers many of the amenities of a big city, but with fewer neighbors.
Carson CA History
Established as an independent city in 1968, Carson has a rich history steeped in Hispanic and European culture. The land area of Carson was settled by Spanish explorers. One man, Juan Jose Dominguez, was given a land gift in 1782 and built a home and estate known as Dominguez Rancho. Today the sturdy home still stands and is open for visitors and residents alike to revel in this rich bit of history. The history of this small city is just one of the reasons to invest in Carson real estate opportunities.
A Growing City
Carson today is a model of cleanliness as a result of improvements to the streets, public parks and lighting. In addition, the city has added many new and wonderful businesses and organizations to the area that include: California State University, Dominguez Hills, the Home Depot Center (sports arena), indoor velodrome, and a landing pad for the Goodyear Blimp.
The most prominent new project is The Boulevard at South Bay Pavilion. A long-abandoned landfill at the 405 and 110 freeways will be transformed into a colorful village of new homes, shops, restaurants, a hotel, a multiplex movie theater, office and business spaces. A testament to the health of the city is the expected rapid growth for 2010 according to the U.S. Census data. Manufacturing is strong and retail is growing steadily.
Carson California attractions include the International Printing Museum and the Victoria Golf Course renovated by Arnold Palmer Golf Management. As a visitor you will find the best attractions, events, sightseeing and hotels. The ESA Los Angeles-Carson is a top rated hotel in Carson conveniently located less than a mile from Stevenson Park, California State University, Dominguez Hill and Data Com Mall. You will find a collection of appetizing restaurants each suited to your needs and budget from Thai Original BBQ to Rosario's Italian Restaurant.

Nika Roza Danilova grew up in rural Wisconsin. Without access to the usual distractions available to most children living in a big city, Danilova had to use her imagination and natural curiosity to keep her mind stimulated, which clearly contributed to the timeless, haunting sound of her subsequent musical project, Zola Jesus. Essentially a solo endeavor in the beginning, Zola Jesus grew as Danilova discovered how to fully incorporate percussion with gossamer synths and her spirited, soaring vocals into a vibrant whole. On 2011's Conatus, Danilova smoothed out the harsher edges of her earlier releases, expanded her sonic palette and explored greater atmospheric dynamism. Now touring as a full band, Zola Jesus has become the perfect vehicle for Danilova's creative maturity to find its full expression.

Product description
{rtf1ansiansicpg1252deff0{fonttbl{f0fswissfprq2fcharset0 Arial;}} viewkind4uc1pardlang2057f0fs20 'Like music, art is a universal language. Although looking at works of art is a pleasurable enough experience, to appreciate them fully requires certain skills and knowledge.' par par First published in 1992, this backlist best-seller presents new material including the latest trends since 1990: video art, new media (digital & internet), photo based work, figurative imagery and neo-expressionism, conceptual art, installations, artist cooperative collaborations, and the resurgence of traditional craft in painting (the Leipzig group). It takes art history out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes art accessible. From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from Holbein to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections covering a little more than 200 pages. par par 'I tried to make this book as reader-friendly as possible. No technical jargon, just a basic introduction to the subject of art history. My mandate was to make the important interesting.' par }

Author information
Carol Strickland has a doctorate in American culture from the University of Michigan. She is the "Christian Science Monitor"'s art critic and contributes feature stories on the arts to the "New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post," and "Art and Antiques." She is the author of The Annotated Arch: A Crash Course in the History of Architecture, "The Illustrated Timeline of Art History," and numerous artists' monographs. Carol lives in New York City and Long Island.
Back cover copy
It's a paradox of American culture. Throughout the country, in every major city, art museums stand as our proudest, most venerated public institutions - the world's great art, there for all to see. Yet for many Americans, the world of "Art" remains inaccessible, lost in a fog of jargon and theories that can make the artwork itself seem hopelessly remote. The Annotated Mona Lisa demystifies art history. It's a brisk, clearly stated survey, from cave painting to conceptual art, that doesn't talk down to its reader and doesn't assume a prior art education. And, most important, it never bores. Dynamic design, with succinct, page-length essays, frequent sidebars, and abundant color illustrations incorporated into the text, make The Annotated Mona Lisa a browser's delight, as well as an authoritative reference that can be read from cover to cover. Sections on ancient and medieval art emphasize context and historical relevance: What kind of people did it take to build the Egyptian pyramids? How has their work influenced the architecture of today? Sections on Renaissance and Baroque art, the nineteenth century, and the modern era touch on all the major figures of the times, while continuing to explain the cultural context out of which the art evolved. A time line at the beginning of each section ties it all together, noting the significant historical events that shaped the art world and the world at large.

NCF Nation: Budd Thacker
FSU in search of next great defensive end
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The face of Florida State's defensive line will change this fall, as the Noles' lost last season's top defensive end, Everette Brown, early to the NFL, and the coaching staff is expecting to hear within a day or two whether Kevin McNeil, who is listed as a starting defensive end on the preseason depth chart, will be cleared academically.
|Ken McKimm/Icon SMI
|Mickey Andrews is counting on Markus White to take over the right end spot vacated by Everette Brown.
While the interior line is deep and strong, the end positions are a question mark, though Markus White is the clear front-runner to take over for Brown on the right end.
"They're going to look for the guy who can make all the sacks," White said of FSU fans. "They're going to look for the standout guy. That's what they're used to. There's always been a dominant defensive end. Now that Everette's gone, who's the dominant guy? I want to step into that role, but only time will tell."
The Saturday scrimmages will help, and so will Wednesday's practice, which will be the first day in pads, but defensive ends coach Jody Allen said the defensive line won't be "near as talented" as it was last year without Brown, but that White has the intangibles it takes to be an aggressive end.
"He plays football with a very mobile and hostile attitude," Allen said. "He's got a good motor, and he plays hard, and he plays mean. He's a super person, but on the field he's a football player."
Allen said maybe one player can't replace Brown, but if he gets a collective effort from four players, the ends might be better as a group than they were last year. Everett Dawkins, Jamar Jackson, Brandon Jenkins, Dan Hicks, Craig Yarborough, and Toshmon Stevens are all candidates to help.
"The interior looks real good but our outside, they have the talent they just need to learn," White said. "They need somebody to learn from. The coach can only do so much, but as a player I can help them, too."
"He looks great," defensive tackle Budd Thacker said. "His confidence level is definitely way up there, I promise you that. He'll hustle, he gets to the football all the time. He knows the playbook front and back, and that's what we need."
Thacker said the unit's goal is to get more pressure on the quarterbacks, get the ball out of his hands, cause some more picks and get some more sacks. FSU had the best pass defense in the ACC last year, but only had nine interceptions. The only ACC team with fewer picks was Miami with a measly four. With Brown in the lineup, FSU led the ACC with 39 total sacks.
White said he's been working on two primary counteraction new moves this summer to help him keep those sack numbers high.
"Last year we had Everette Brown and he would always get pressure on the quarterbacks even if it wasn't sacks, but I got too much pressure and not enough sacks," White said. "This year instead of getting pressure I want to get to the quarterback, get past the guy, be able to grab him and tackle him."
If he does, White just might be the Noles' next "dominant defensive end."
Checking in from Doak
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Well, it's time to see who's made of what. Here are a few keys to this game:
UP FRONT: How Florida State's young offensive line matches up with Wake Forest's veteran defensive line is the most important factor in this game. The 'Noles are counting on two redshirt freshmen, one true freshman and two sophomores. Wake Forest has an "old man" in grad student Matt Robinson, who gained a sixth year of eligibility, and two redshirt juniors and a redshirt senior.
TURNOVERS: The one thing Christian Ponder is leery of heading into this game is Wake's ability to force teams into mistakes. The Demon Deacons lead the ACC and rank fourth nationally in turnover margin at +5. Florida State, on the other hand, hasn't made an interception yet.
RILEY SKINNER: He's not going to be rattled by the atmosphere, so it will be up to FSU's defense to rattle the ACC's leading passer. How much time he gets in the pocket will obviously allow him to do more, but the staff has been scheming to slow Everette Brown off the edge. The return of Budd Thacker to the line will help FSU get some pressure on Skinner.
INTANGIBLES: This might be the real underlying key in this game. Florida State is hungry and has something to prove. Plus, there's that little thing called revenge. The Seminoles aren't about to allow another shutout like the 30-0 game that happened in 2006. The one intangible FSU doesn't have, though, is experience.
ACC in the morning: 'Yo, Heather... wake up!'
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
One day. I oversleep one day, and I see this from loyal reader VTballer: "yo Heather wake up! its about time for ACC in the morning."
So it is, my friend.
Here's a look at what's going on around the league:
- This one's for you, VTballer -- RB coach Billy Hite told Josh Oglesby he's playing three backs, but Oglesby says, "I've only seen two."
- It's Georgia Tech's turn to carry the ACC banner, as the Yellow Jackets will try to represent the league against SEC opponent Mississippi State. Oh, and don't question Paul Johnson on his fourth-down decisions, otherwise you're a moron.
- FSU DT Budd Thacker's back -- "wide-eyed, scratching and clawing."
- Miami second-year assistant coach Wesley McGriff is making the Hurricanes' secondary "Army tough."
- ECU coach Skip Holtz isn't taking NC State lightly. He remembers what happened last year. History is unlikely to repeat itself, though, especially with the latest injury to hit the lineup -- Alan-Michael Cash is out indefinitely. Huge loss. ECU is down a man, too.
- UNC is preparing for Tyrod Taylor and his happy feet. Coach Butch Davis says, "Don't bite the cheese."
- Speaking of cheese, the Terps are trying to avoid another trap against Eastern Michigan.
- People were asking for my pick on the Wake Forest-FSU game on Monday's chat. You should ask Christian Ponder, who says the Noles are "not going to lose." It's not like they're taking the Demon Deacons lightly, though. Derek Nicholson deemed it their "ACC championship game."
- Clemson offensive tackle Chris Hairston answers questions about his motor scooter accident.
Today is mailblog day, so check back later. I'm awake now.
ACC in the morning: UNC on national stage tonight
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Caulton Tudor says this is the time for Butch Davis to shine. The Tar Heels lost this game two seasons ago, but a win tonight could "turn UNC's fortunes around." This game will be about more than just football, though.
- Elsewhere in the state of North Carolina, Wolfpack quarterback Russell Wilson said he's ready to make his comeback against the Clemson Tigers.
- It looks like Da'Quan Bowers has earned the starting nod for this game, and Kevin Alexander has moved to the "bandit end" position to replace injured starter Ricky Sapp. All of that can be found at the end of this story about Durrell Barry. Clemson is expected to use three redshirt freshmen offensive linemen on Saturday.
- What's up with suspended Florida State defensive lineman Budd Thacker? Something, but Bobby Bowden won't tell. If he's back for Wake Forest, it will definitely help the Noles.
- Georgia Tech is still working on learning the triple option, but once they figure it out, look out.
- In case you missed it last night, Peter Lalich will not play against Connecticut. Two thoughts on this -- well, OK, three: 1. Good move. 2. Should've done it last week. 3. I love the line in this story "seldom used" to describe Marc Verica, whose bio in the media guide reads: 2007 -- Did not appear in any games. 2006 -- Redshirted. Yeah, I'd say that's seldom.
- I watched the Miami/Florida game last weekend on a TV. Apparently most of you did, too.
- Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer has left his spot in the tower and is getting in a few faces at practice this week. And Bryan Stinespring is" challenging their manhood." Where is highly touted RB Ryan Williams? It looks like he might steal Tyrod Taylor's redshirt.
- It looks like leather lungs will be starring in the next Under Armour commercial for the Terps.

Mark F, Im a fellow Texan, and am wondering where around here you can find replacment grips for thetokarev that are affordable. I am going to order one from J&G sales, but have been told that even though it is a good pistol, they jam alot. Is this probally his pistol or a charector flaw for these weapons. Ethier way, I'm getting one to add to my collection, so thanks for the info.
Fun Mil-surp gun, I especially like the 7.62x25 round it shoots, High Velocity, abundant surplus ammo. Trigger isnt the greatest but you cant expect the hair trigger of a tricked 1911 out of a Old military gun...
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
Jimi Hendrix
If you are willing, you can do your own trigger job on it. The Tok is easy to work on. It will never be a high-level competition 1911... but it will obliterate whatever you aim at.
Good evening,...yes, I too had difficulty acquiring an appropriate holster for it. Even more difficult because I am left handed. But with a little modification by applying 3 in 1 oil to the wrap around leather snap strip the holster worked VERY well. The make of Holster I bought and use is a BIANCHI 7/7L KAHR K9 0708. It is a great holster for it. I am now looking for modified wrap around pistol grips. Good Luck and happy hunting.
Good evening. If I may ask,...where can I find out how much a pair of the ergonomic grips are worth, and where to purchase them..

text: http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello everyone. I learned a bit about Linux from a college course and decided to check it out to see what it was all about. I spent a couple months messing with different live media discs to see which distros I liked. I have accidentally and intentionally completely wiped my hard drive clean at least a couple times. I have finally decided on which distros I am going to keep permanantly installed on my HP pavilion dm4. I've decided to stick with Mint12 and CrunchBang. Mint12 is pretty user friendly and does all the stuff that other OS can do. I like crunchbang because it's super (HowTos)
