Red Velvet Crepes (Makes about 24, 8″ crepes) Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 3 tablespoons sugar - 2 cups butter milk - 1 1/4 cup whole or lowfat milk - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted - 1 tablespoon red food color gel - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for pan) *Update: Because the buttermilk lends to the acidity of this batter, do not substitute the baking soda for extra baking powder. If you add more baking powder, and omit the baking soda, you'll end up with a heavy and dense crepe. Printable Paper - StumbleUpon. How to Build a Pencil Crossbow & JinSpiration - StumbleUpon.

The notion that people would get their news from a humorous weekly National Public Radio quiz show, like the growing number who follow politics via "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," used to worry Peter Sagal.
But the host of NPR's "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" - the irreverent show in which he and a trio of panelists crack wise about current events - says he isn't bothered anymore.
"I've gone from being concerned to somewhat flattered to resigned to it," he says.
After all, he says, it's a product of our info-glut era: Too much information, not enough context. Or, as he puts it: "Turning to Jon Stewart, that's the only reasonable response to (presidential candidate) Ron Paul."
Fast on the heels of Super Tuesday, Sagal and company will tape an episode of "Wait Wait" on Thursday at the Mesa Arts Center.
The show, staged in the MAC's 1,600-seat Ikeda Theater, will be broadcast locally on KJZZ (91.5 FM) at 11 a.m. Saturday (repeated 5 p.m. Feb. 10) or available via podcast through iTunes or streaming on www.npr.org.
Panelists will be comedian Paul Provenza, Houston Chronicle blogger/editor Kyrie O'Connor and writer Adam Felber. Panelists are quizzed alongside a weekly guest celebrity (Barack Obama and Tom Hanks being recent notables) and call-in listeners, who compete for a distinct prize: a voice mail message from "Wait Wait" scorekeeper and veteran NPR newscaster Carl Kasell.
This isn't the first time an NPR show played the Mesa Arts Center. "Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?" recorded an installment of its weekly show there in February 2006.
Those who didn't attend when "Wait Wait" came to Phoenix's Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa four years ago ("I remember spending a lot of time lounging by the pool," Sagal recalls) - or, in 2001, visited what is now the Marquee Theatre in Tempe - should know one more thing, besides the week's hot topics: The live show can get a little bawdier than what's edited for broadcast.
"The vibe in the theater is pretty raucous and fun," says Sagal, who stepped away from the microphone to write "The Book of Vice: Very Naughty Things (and How to Do Them)."
Sagal says he wrote the book - exploring sex, gambling and gluttony - in part to get away from his image as a self-described "mild-mannered, Harvard-educated NPR host - the man who put the second 'L' in 'vanilla.' " One review described it as "harmlessly prurient."
Sagal's reply: "That's what I'm going to put on my tombstone."

I'll start naming some in the OP, if you have more, let me know and I'll add them to the OP. We could try to keep it to players in the Spurrier era. Past Spurrier Era Players who came to USC Kelcy Quarles - Ended up All SEC/All American!!!

The type of men women lust after seems to change every decade or so. In the '90s, we were drooling for the grungy, rocker dude a la Kurt Cobain. In the 2000′s, we moved on to the clean cut, metrosexual man and the ironic hipster. When it comes to separating the wheat from the chaff, the most desirable dude of the moment is undoubtedly the farmer, with his overalls, knee-high wellies, bulging biceps, flowing beard, and bounty of organic produce. Want proof? Just check out Hugh Morrison, winner of Britain's Sexiest Farmer competition. Spoiler alert: he's driving a motorcycle with a baby ewe on his lap. Hey, who doesn't love a guy who feels just as comfortable cuddling a baby sheep as he does operating heavy machinery?
As our taste men changes, so must our flirting techniques. Because what works to woo a grunge rocker is not the same thing that would win the attention of a man of the soil. Below, some surefire strategies for seducing a farmer… Keep reading »

I wonder if they didn't repeatedly inject it with sugar water to force the

Congratulations, you found me! My name is Garrett Lees and I started UC Photons to offer my community the best solar-electric systems on the market at the lowest price. My systems are completely turn-key; you just sit back without a worry and watch the magic happen. I'll take care of everything from start to finish. Here's what I have to offer:
- 100% monocrystalline modules
- Microinverters
- Professional mounting system
- Masterful installation
- Lowest price in town — GET QUOTES, you'll see!
If you are curious about going solar and want to know more, it would be my pleasure to guide you through the process step by step — I'll explain to you exactly how the system works and will go over all your options with you. I do not believe in pressuring anybody. Take your time to decide.
I install only the best-quality top-of-the-line equipment. I would never put on your roof what I would not put on my own roof.
I never sub-out. I design and build everything myself from start to finish so you know the system will be installed right. Also, even after it's up and running, I'm always accessible to you. You're part of the UC Photons family, which means you should always feel free to call me anytime with any comments, questions, or concerns.
In today's economy, one would be very hard-pressed to find a better investment than solar. My systems yield well over 10% return at very low risk.
I started building solar-electric systems as a hobbyist and enthusiast several years ago. As UC Photons, I built my first system on my own house. Then I did my mom's house. Then my aunt and uncle's house. Then my friend's parents' house. Then a few neighbors' houses down the street. Then they told their friends, and they told their friends, and so on. Most of my business is word-of-mouth. I have plenty of references and they all would be more than happy to answer any of your inquiries.
I am a C-46 Solar Contractor (#978633), licensed by and in good standing with the State of California's Contractors State License Board (CSLB). https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx
I was born and raised in University City, went to U.C. High School, graduated from UC Berkeley with honors; am a U.S. Army veteran, backyard chicken farmer, ovo-vegetarian over 17 years, solar geek/guru and avid reader of anything solar; led over 100 roof and electrical crews that built solar all over San Diego; my dream car is the Tesla Model S; I have a strong work ethic, and strong value system of personal responsibility; honor and integrity are paramount to me when doing business. I stand by my product.
Bottom line: If you're on the path to going solar, give me a call: 831-224-3015. You will be glad you did. I will save you money and build you a solid, worry-free, high-performance, maintenance-free system you can rely on.
"It's raining photons!" UC Photons will help you to harvest them!

Mobile Mindshare and The Future of Consumer Insights
by Jacob Tucker, Research Analyst, uSamp
Over the past few decades, bulky desktops have been swapped out for sleek tablets, Walkmans (remember those?) discarded for iPods, and news consolidated into microblogs. In this age of continuous innovation, new technology loses its shelf life quickly. In the Market Research space alone, the methods for gathering insights have gone from a clipboard to a smartphone.
Research professionals, in the advent of big data, have found the need to dig deeper into the psyche of respondents, to see things through their vantage point, and to capture their behavioral experiences (in real-time). While this may sound like a tall order, the availability of the mobile platform puts these previously unattainable insights within reach. Read the rest of this entry »

Malaysia Airlines signs MOU with Rolls-Royce for Trent 900 engine Totalcare programme on A380 fleet
Monday, 9 July 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Malaysia Airlines for long-term TotalCare® services support for Trent 900 engines that will power its new fleet of six Airbus A380 aircraft.
Rolls-Royce already provides TotalCare support services for Trent 800 engines that power Malaysia Airlines' fleet of 17 Boeing 777 aircraft.
Speaking at the Farnborough International Airshow, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group CEO, Malaysia Airlines, said: "We are very happy with the support we receive from Rolls-Royce - TotalCare alleviates the burden of engine maintenance and provides significant financial savings. We look forward to receiving the same high level of support for our Trent 900 engines as we undertake this important fleet expansion."
Phil Harris, Rolls-Royce, Senior Vice President – Civil Aerospace, said: "We are delighted that, having experienced the benefits of TotalCare, Malaysia Airlines is extending Rolls-Royce support to its new A380 fleet. With decades of experience in developing and supporting world leading jet engines, Rolls-Royce is best placed to provide this service. We look forward to expanding our partnership with this valued customer."
Malaysia Airlines' first Airbus A380 entered into service on July 1. The aircraft enables a non-stop service from Kuala Lumpur to any destination in Europe. The Trent 900 is currently in service with five airlines and powered the first Airbus A380 to enter service, in 2007.
In April, Rolls-Royce opened its first purpose-built customer service hub, at the main terminal building in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Malaysia. This will enable the Group to provide a high level of service to Malaysia Airlines and customers across South East Asia.
TotalCare long-term service agreements cover more than 90% of Trent engines globally and support almost 100% of customers in the Asia-Pacific region. They are designed to minimise customer financial risk and enhance operational performance and reliability, allowing operators to concentrate on their core business.
The Trent 900 is the engine of customer choice on the A380, selected by 11 of 16 airlines that have made an engine choice.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in more than 80 countries.
- Annual underlying revenues were £11.3 billion in 2011, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £62.2 billion at 31 December 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 40,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2011, Rolls-Royce invested £908 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.

Up to 45% off Dining Room Furniture* | Up to 65% off Jewelry & Watches* | Up to 70% off Select Area Rugs* | Up to 25% off Select Bedroom Furniture* |
I bought this for my guest room after looking at MANY duvet covers. I couldn't pass up the price for a queen duvet and 2 shams. The duvet is very soft and looks great. The leaf pattern is metallic silver while the bands are a dark gray, blueish/green gray and white. I purchased a white bedskirt which goes well with the duvet. The shams that are included fit nicely. I have not washed it yet so don't know how well it holds up but one of the selling points for me is that it is machine washable. If you are going to add accent pillows the light gray is a little hard to match, depending on the light it has a blue or green tint.
I love this duvet cover set. The one hesitation I had in the beginning was in the softness department. When I first got it, it wasn't as soft as I thought it would be. However after washing it, it was a lot softer and I have no complaints. I would recommend washing it inside out so as to keep the flower pattern on there. As stated in other reviews, the flower pattern is pressed on top, not woven in, so wash delicately. To brighten/warm it up, I have some warm yellowish gold tone sheets with two turquoise pillows and one golden yellow pillow. It's modern, warm, and beautiful. I wish I could post a picture on here, because I took a bunch. Overstock should add that option on reviews! :) Overall, I love the duvet cover set. It's not the greatest quality in the world, but it really is great for the price and for the look. Again, once you wash it it will be a lot softer than when you first receive it.
Really nice but was surprised at how much the shams shrunk. I can't use them on any pillows I have. If I could do it all over, I would buy this in king size (but would definitely buy it again since it looks great.
The product arrived promptly, colors were exactly as shown on the website. It washes well, but wrinkles a little. The ivy going up one side adds just the right amount of understated bling, while helping to keep the bedroom calm. Really pleased.
Very nice quality fabric. Silvery grey color was even more attractive than I expected. Seems to wash well. Another Overstock purchase that is a pleasing experience.
Product is not quite 'quality' expected. Most of the time what I receive from Overstockcom exceeds my expectations by a considerable degree. Usually bedding is one of the items that I usually am unsure about trusting online descriptions and I realize one is getting what one pays for. In this case price was totally in line with quality I received.
very nice and pretty duvet set, and shipping was prompt..
I was looking for a grey and white duvet to go with my cool, pale grey bedroom. This is perfect. Yes, I had to iron it a little when I washed it but it is cotton! The dark grey part is darker than it appears in the photo. The light grey ivy is shimmering. I like the hidden button closure and the shams are like pillowcases. Love, Love it. Very Zen-like.
The quality seemed fine, but I never actually used it or washed it. It just was not the color we wanted. The leaves on the duvet are very shiny. My 11 year old really like it, but it wasn't for her bed! My husband said it reminded him of cheap iron-ons.
This duvet is very beautiful. I'm a single female in my 20s and it suits my needs just fine. I love the look of the crisp grey and white together and the design adds a nice touch. It has a button closure - kind of wish it had a zipper but that's minor. I've washed it once and it did okay on gentle cycle with a tumble dry. This is my first duvet and if I can keep it away from my pets, I think I will continue to be very pleased with this purchase!!

Wrestling fan or not everyone knows Hulk Hogan. He's the Red and Yellow machine that brought Hulkamaina to the world and had wrestling flying high all through the 80's. What the world may not know is that in 1995 Select Records put out Hulk Hogan & the Wrestling Boot Band's debut (and only) album. A band featuring not only the Hulkster himself but also included "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, Hogan's wife at the time, Linda and John Maguire. Trust me when I say this isn't an album you'll simply want the mp3's for because the DVD includes some ridiculous pictures of Hogan and the band posing down. You ready for twenty-nine minutes and thirty-five seconds of the best thing you've ever heard in your entire life?
'Hulkster's In The House' The opening line of "The Hulkster's in the house, check em out check em out" starts out this brilliant album. Somewhat of 'gang vocals' is what we get for most of this cheesy masterpiece, there's a little bit of Hogan singing here but they knew they couldn't just let that fly with the first song, you've gotta be warmed up.
'American Made' If you watched WCW in 1995 you know this song by heart, it was Hogan's theme before he turn coated the world and started waving the colors of the NWO.
'Hulkster's Back' ah shit, this funky song starts out with a 'Baby got back' attempted intro. But that's not what you need to know about this, what you have to know is we've got Hulk Hogan rapping through this song! Fucking brilliant stuff! "I took the belt, it was Flair's, I don't really care"
'Wrestling Boot Traveling Band' This has got to be Jimmy Hart's song. He sings it, it kind of reminds me of an Eagles song, it's almost actually good, almost. (If you don't know Jimmy Hart was in the band The Gentrys before he started wrestling, they had the hit "Keep on Dancing" as their claim to fame)
'Bad to the Bone' We've got a rockin' hit here, you know because it starts out with the sound of a motorcycle followed up by a shreddin guitar solo. More Jimmy Hart vocals here folks!
'I Want to Be a Hulkamaniac' Something of a Disney channel type sing along here. You practically expecting a bouncing ball at the bottom with lyrics. But we do get more Hulk Hogan rapping on this one!
'Beach Patrol' More record scratching, into what sounds like an old mid-carder's WWF theme. The Hulkster reminds us again that he's the greatest rapper to ever live. This might be the hit of the album!
'Hulk's The One' An 80's ballad…in '95? No idea who's singing this one, Linda I think would have to be my guess, or a hidden secret member.
'Hulkster in Heaven' Another ballad, I feel like an asshole for laughing at this because obviously it should be a serious song but how can you not with lines like "I use to tear my shirt but now you tore my heart", all that aside though it seem like Hogan (or whoever wrote it for him) put something into it.
'Hulk Rules' Close it out with another rockin song. "If you mess with the Hulkster he'll rearrange your teeth". I just wish Hogan or Hart sang this song, it'd be way more badass.

'Macho Man' Randy Savage: Be a Man
In 1995 Hulk put out his rap/rock album, Hulk Rules, with the Wrestling Boot Band. Fast forward to 2003 and in true Macho Man fashion Randy Savage tries to prove that anything Hogan can do, Savage can do better. Big 3 Records brings this gem to us, and much like Hogan, Savage has backup on the album in the form of rap group, The Rascalz, who are ironically the legit worst part of the album. I wish it had just been Randy Savage rapping here. And as expected it's just as amazing as Hogan's album. Clocking at forty-five minutes, fifty-five seconds, but it still won't be enough, you want more!!
'Intro' Just an intro track hyping the album, for some reason on the album. Mostly short news samples and interview clips. Not even a minute long.
'I'm back' FINALLY we get Savage rapping, and it is brilliant! This song establishes that Macho Man is in fact, back.
'Ru Ready' The question everyone wants to know, Are You Ready? This is basically a really bad hardcore rap song, bad due in no part to Randy Savage, he brings the great parts to this song.
'Hit The Floor' God the beats on this album are so bad, as is everyone whose name isn't Macho Man Randy Savage, it really hits you in this one.
'Let's Get It On' One of the best songs on the album, Macho just tells you how he's gonna kick your ass.
'Remember Me' Another one of the top songs on the album, Macho makes sure you know he's still around and still tough!
'Tear It Up' In the words of Savage himself "A little hip hop mixed with a little rock n roll"
'Macho Thang' Macho Man is a fucking pimp, this is the story of Randy Savage's sleazy night.
'Be a Man' THE best song on the album, maybe ever. Savage actually has some great dis lines on Hogan here. "you've been runnin' from Macho like I got a disease" It's just one giant Hogan dis track, fucking brilliant! "I smell a coward mmmm is that you Hogan"
'Get Back' The Macho Man's so mad he's about to explode!
'Feel The madness' This song is just fucking weird, I'm not really sure what's going on. Everybody's telling you to 'feel the madness' but Savage sounds like he's sure about what he's talking about, so I guess that's all that matters.
'What's That All About' Seems like Savage is rappin a love song here. Gotta memorize this one and use it on the ladies.
'Gonna Be Trouble' Man sounds like someone challenged Macho Man because he's ready to hand out an ass kicking here. "By the time I'm done with you you're layin on the floor"
'Perfect friend' ugh I do feel bad when I laugh at this song. A tribute to one of the greatest (the greatest?) wrestler to ever live, Curt Hennig aka Mr. Perfect. Nice thought from Randy, but really, it's still a really bad song.
1. Intro
2. I'm back
3. Ru Ready

11. Feel The madness
12. What's That All About
13. Gonna Be Trouble
14. Perfect friend
John Cena: You Can't See Me
Hulk Hogan did it, Macho Man Randy Savage did it, and now John Cena is doing it. Of course I'm taking about making a rap album. The difference here, besides quality and amazingness is John Cena's gimmick is from the hip-hop world so this took the world by much less surprise. Another key difference is the help Cena employed. Hulk Hogan had Jimmy Hart who is actually a veteran of the music industry and Randy Savage had that awful rap group who I'm not even going to bother to look up. But Vince Machmann tried not to make his golden boy's album a flip so some real pros were called in. Appearances are made by Tha Trademarc (Cena's cousin), Esoteric (who I also heard did the beats) and Bumpy Knuckles (aka Freddie Foxxx), who is great in his own right. With this star-studded cast I found myself actually getting excited that this album may be good. Well I was mostly wrong. Aside from a few standout tracks this album is bad. Not the good bad like Macho Man's just really bad. And the worst part of the album I think is the beats, so dull, shockingly Cena actually isn't too bad, not bad at all actually. I was actually kind of double disappointed, firstly that it wasn't like really bad fun like the Macho Man and Hogan album. And secondly because there's so much just bad stuff on here. There is good news however, the couple of songs that are actually good on here, are surprisingly really good, so if you can find it cheap and you're a fan, you might think about picking it up.
'The Time Is Now' The intro to the album is John Cena's wrestling entrance theme, this also happens to be the best song on the album, at least beat wise, so it's all down hill from here folks.
'Don't Fuck With us' Ugh, the beat for this song is unbearably annoying, fuck.
'Flow Easy' Once again not feeling the beat here but Bumpy Knuckles and (suprising) Cena are on point.
'Right Now' Sounds like the beat was made out of the song from Aladdin during the carpet ride date, and that's not a good thing. A pretty posi song by Cena though.
'Make It Loud' A Cena sample from him in the ring starts out this, it's almost surreal. Unfortunately this whole song is just terrible. Their attempt at a club song.
'Just Another Day' This song's pretty good, reminds me of something Atmosphere might do. Second best song on the album, maybe the best lyrically.
'Summer Flings' Ugh another not good song, Cena trying to be too thug here.
'Keep Frontin" Another good song! Shit, the worst part about this is Bumpy Knuckles kind of out classes Cena.
'We Didn't Want You to Know' This beat I actually like, it sort of reminds me of a horror movie, too bad Cena brings the weak part here. It's like a flip of most of the bad songs.
'Bad, Bad Man' Cena and Bumpy back at it, doing the thug thing again, it somewhat works this time. This is a pretty fun song.
'Running Game' Another song that isn't half bad here, I kinda dig this one.
'Beantown' Esoteric makes his appearance on the album here, another pretty good song.
'This Is How We Roll' This is terrible, sounds like another attempt at a club song.
'What Now' Another odd song where I'm not feelin it but I like the beat, Cena actually isn't bad either, something just doesn't work here. It's not so bad, there's much worse on here.
'Know The Rep' The final track with Bumpy Knuckles on it, he brings it hard to this track. Cena does a pretty good job trying to keep up the pace with him.
'Chain Gang Is the Click' Another hard sounding track, this one is alright, comes off as a little hokey but not totally.
'If It All Ended Tomorrow' I guess it's no surprise that the album closes out with another pretty bad song. Bummer.
1. The Time Is Now
2. Don't Fuck With us
3. Flow Easy (feat. Bumpy Knuckles)
4. Right now
5. Make It Loud
6. Just Another Day
7. Summer Flings
8. Keep Frontin' (feat. Bumpy Knuckles)
9. We Didn't Want You to Know

Bolts Sign Sarich, Avoid Arbitration
Submitted by chad on July 27, 2006 - 12:46
Tampa Bay Lightning
is reporting the Lightning have re-signed defenseman Cory Sarich to a one-year, $1.9 million contract. The deal allows the Lightning and Sarich to avoid a salary arbitration hearing scheduled for July 31. Tampa Bay General Manager Jay Feaster stated in the official press release that Sarich left some money on the table in order to fit into the team's stretched financial structure. Sarich, 27, a 6-foot-3, 204-pound native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan played in all 82 games for the third consecutive season in 2005-06, recording a goal, 14 assists and 79 penalty minutes. In 2003-04 he was one of three defensemen to appear in all 23 Stanley Cup Playoff games for the Lightning.

Johnstown Chiefs
Springfield Falcons
Echoing many of the sentiments of Bolt Prospects blog writers today, Erik Erlendsson of the Trib [url=http://sports.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/related/C189/]has posted some of his comments on the first day of prospect camp.[/url] In general, there were some very positive notes made by Erik today:
Day 1 Prospect Camp Scoring summary
Submitted by Ken on July 25, 2006 - 17:10
Add Kevin Croxton to the Black roster he rotated the bottom 2 lines.
Mark Tobin
was not there/nor listed on the Lightning issued roster.
Brady Greco
listed on Lightning roster, was not dressed. Black scored the 1st 4 White got 1 late 1. Croxton (unassisted) Mihalik skipped a too hard - too bouncy pass across Grover's stick. Croxton picked it up at the blue line and took it in on Beech who stayed deep in his net. 2. Boisclair, Desharnais primary, ??? Basically 2-on-0 down low following a turnover vs Disher. 3. Kvapil, Robinson, ??? Nice finish in close vs. Disher. Robinson passed it in from the opposite circle.
Mark Tobin Added to Tryout Roster
Submitted by chad on July 25, 2006 - 08:58
According to
Erik Erlendsson and the Tampa Tribune
Mark Tobin
has been added to the roster for this week's prospect and tryout camp. Erlendsson confirmed to Bolt Prospects that Tobin was on the latest roster the Tribune received last week. Tobin was not on an earlier list provided by the Lightning. Mercyhurst's Dave Borrelli was on the first list, but does not appear on the most recent list. Tobin, a second round pick of the Bolts in 2004, was not signed by the Lightning this summer and allowed to re-enter the draft. He was not selected. According to General Manager Jay Feaster, the club tried to sign Tobin in the summer of 2005, but Tobin and his agent rejected the Lightning's final offer and talks never resumed. In 2005-2006, the 6-3, 211-pound Tobin recorded a career high 26 goals for the last place Rimouski Oceanic. He also surpassed his career high in points, by one, with 51 points in 67 games. Tobin was among the QMJHL's hit leaders, but also led the league in minus rating with a -51. The Lightning concluded that Tobin's upside was not significant enough to warrant another contract offer at season's end.

Who can enter StoryTubes?
English-speaking kids anywhere can enter. There's no limit on the number of times you can enter the contest as long as you promote a different book each time. To win a prize, though, at least one person in the group must be between the ages of five and 18 years.
May I work with my friends?
Yes! Videos may feature one to five people on screen, or some people in your group can do behind-the-scenes work only. You may also work to make a video that shows no people but uses animation or other techniques.
How long should my video be?
Videos may be up to two minutes long. Be sure to check the length of your video, because if it is longer than two minutes it won't be included in the contest.
What makes a video extra special?
A winning video should make the viewer say, "Wow!"and really want to read the book. To make that happen, here are some ideas:
- Practice ahead so you have a great performance.
- Be creative in the ways you promote the book. You might want to use costumes, props, signs, or other ways to grab viewers' attention.
- Take time to write a great script.
- Use software to edit your video, make words scroll across the screen, or add transitions
- Add music!
- Don't give away the book's ending: use cliff-hangers.
What about music or special effects?
Feel free to add music. See our tips on legal sources. It's also OK to use software you have available to create special effects or use technology creatively.
Are there prizes?
We have fabulous contest sponsors who provide prizes. The major prizes are Judges' Choice Awards and Judges' Choice Honorable Mention Awards and are usually books. The panel of judges for each category uses a weighted balloting system to select winners; judges come from diverse areas and may change from year to year.
Can adults help make a video?
Adults are welcome to assist entrants with filming, editing, etc. We know that younger children require more help than older kids and teens. A good general rule of thumb is to make sure that kids are contributing as much as their skill level and your schedule allow.
Music from Legal Sources
Music can add suspense, drama, or other facets to your video. Creative commons music is free and legal to use. Start here to learn the basics.

Frequent question on canning forums: Why does it take my pressure canner so long to cool down?
Times reported seem to range from 20 min. to 4 hours and while it should be size related, it doesn't seem to be. So your pressure canner(s) - brand, size or model #, weighted gauge or just weight or just gauge, average cool down time, and any reasons you may have discovered that can delay cool down? My Presto 23 qt. weighted gauge canner takes an average of 25 min. to cool down to 0 on the gauge (then I wait 10 mins. before removing the weight). My AA 915 weighted gauged one takes approx. 40 min. I think because even though it is smaller it is much heavier. TIA Dave |
Follow-Up Postings:
Presto 16 quart. I actually leave it on my (glass top stove) burner for about 10 minutes after I turn off the heat. Then remove. Combined - about 25-30 minutes to cool down. I found that if I just removed the canner from the burner, it would totally cool down in about 15 mnutes, but the pressure would be dropping too fast, and within a minute of 2, I would smell whatever I was canning, and I would find siphoning when I opened the pot. If I leave it on the burner, the pressure drops more slowly and I hardly ever find siphoning. |

Presto 16 qt w/10 lbs weighted gauge. 3 quarts water, 9 pints hot pack pork in wine sauce, 10 min vent & 75 min process on regular electric stove indoors. Took a little over an hour for the air vent/cover lock to drop. No air movement. In the summertime with doors and windows open is faster. I leave the canner on the burner to cool down. |
That's a good example of the differences in time with the same canner. Thanks you two! Dave |
I have a presto 16 and it takes about 30 mn, I also have a AAA 921, and that takes about 40 mn. I have a coil cooktop in my summer kitchen, and I leave them on the burner to cool down. |
My All American 30 qt cools to zero pressure in 20-25 minutes from 10 lbs pressure, and an additional 5 minutes from 15 lbs. TomNJ |
Mirro 23 qt. 10# pressure, removed from burner as soon as time is up takes about 30 minutes, then I remove the lid, but leave sitting ajar on top for another 10. I haven't really timed it, I just know when I'm cranking out green beans, it takes about 1 1/2 hours per load. Raw pack, I have the beans in hot jars, pour boiling water in and cap: 10 minutes. Approx. 10 minutes to begin steaming, 10 to vent, 25 processing and 30 cool down. Ten "resting". Yeah, I know that's a little more than 1 1/2 hours, but there's overlap. Interesting question though, I'll have to do some actual timing to see if it varies by product, processing time, etc. Deanna |
Presto 23Q - around 45 minutes. |
- Posted by john__showme__usa 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 10, 11 at 17:23
Presto 16 w/9 pints beans. 33 min. Ambient temp in kitchen 74 degrees. No idea why took so much longer b4. |

Everyone gets so breathless when talking about quantum computers! For those that don't know quantum computers only solve certain problems dramatically more quickly than conventional computers and it's not the set of NP-complete problems as is commonly misreported (even in the Economist). It just happens to be a set of problems that is particularly interesting (e.g. large number factorization) because their very difficulty lends them to some practical uses (e.g. cryptography). Quantum computers are cool but they aren't going to change the world dramatically.
Quantum computing is endlessly fascinating but very difficult (like nuclear fission reactors) to achieve on a commercial much less everyday scale of use. Superposition states can be annihilated by almost any type of interference. Keeping an entire computing device capable of complex functions in a superconducting and near absolute zero state of stability is a trick we don't have and have no real idea how to even think of a way of getting there. Once we have gotten there: there is no magic! Quantum computers cannot calculate at greater than light speed! They are nano-scale parallel computing devices. Great but we already have many of these properties with DNA or other technologies.
Success in preparing qubits is possible only if all the qubits have the same energy level. So I believe the quantum dot or other crystalline methods will ultimately be more suitable than the vacuum sealed methods.
Keep your quasi-information to yourself. You are wrong. Quantum computers can provide polynomial speed ups to a large variety of very basic and common problems.
For example, database look ups can be done in sqrt-time wrt the database size when using a quantum computer. There is little doubt that utilizing quantum effects for more efficient computing will lead to major changes in the world in less than 20 years.
Scientists, physicists atleast don't do research for any application, thats the engineer's job.
I meant nuclear FUSSION not fission reactors. However even fission reactors which can be scaled down to run ships are far from consumer friendly and produce waste products that there is no really practical way to manage long term. The physics of Star Trek with some exciting exceptions is going to remain just that.
According to a respectable contributor on Quora, the D-wave system is just a one-trick pony -- but hey you gotta start somewhere.
"D-wave One is design [sic] to solve a combinatorial optimization problem via an adiabatic quantum optimization procedure (or at least a noisy version of this protocol.) In particular the problem it is designed to solve is to find the minimum energy of a user defined 128 spin Ising model."
-Dave Bacon (Former Faculty at the University of Washington)
I have always said that if you have a problem, ask a kid of 14. He will look at this as a toy and fix it by a click A set of recent papers, many of which draw on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveal new details in the emerging picture of how Saturn's moon Titan shifts with the seasons and even throughout the day. The papers, published in the journal Planetary and Space Science in a special issue titled "Titan through Time," show how this largest moon of Saturn is a cousin -- though a very peculiar cousin -- of Earth. Now this is called finding NASA used for good pursue. A small mishap and where is our IT? I wonder? I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
What about D-wave systems ? They claim to be selling a 128 Q-bit machine... Or is that just propaganda ?
Yep. Entanglement is when a superposition of qubits can dot be decomposed in superposition of multiple single qubits. But "Two entangled qubits permit four operations; three permit eight; and so on." does not make any sense.
The advancement in quantum computing makes me feel both good and sad:
Good because we are opening up a new and wonderful chapter in advanced computing,
sad because it will likely be used for wrong purposes by wrong people. (btt1943)
It does cause havoc to encryption schemes though, factorization becomes a snap.
I just hope with the advent of quantum computing we don't have wandering salesmen phasing into our living rooms.
Check the history of LASER, it was not supposed to solve any problem.
I am referring to an unsorted database -- just to be clear.
I think rassel's example (factorization) and Liu's example (black box searching) are the only two known applications for a quantum computer. I don't know any other common problems at which a quantum computer will outperform the classical one. Well, anyway, factorization and black box searching are important enough. And when we have a real quantum computer sitting on the table (or in a gigantic cryostat?), CS theorists may find some new tricks to play with it.
For the past 25 years, quantum computing seems to always be about 10 years out on the horizon. Many have noted the similarity to fusion power with its constant "just 25 more years" mantra for the past half century.
Then again, if someone does manage to build a quantum computer, we'd likely never know. Much like Bletchley Park, the US NSA would throw a secrecy blanket over the machine in a heartbeat. Deja vu all over again.
This is going to turn bitcoin mining on its head!! LOL
'Currents thus leak away, and signals are degraded' - sound like the communication within the current labour government, i wonder if Ed Miliband has heard of quantum mechanics
And that my dear friend is due to superposition.
say x = ab + ba (a two particle system). This is an entangled bit which is solely due to superposition. Entanglement means that it cannot be expressed as product of pure states. So (a+b)(a-b) is not entangled but ab+ba is.
In real life, the vast majority of performance-constrained computation amounts to database searches and linear algebra. We have already talked about search. EVEN a "naive" quantum matrix multiplication implementation is sub-quadratic; in contrast, the practically implementable matrix multiplication on classical computers is ~ O(n^2.8) by Strassen. (The newer ones e.g. Coppersmith-Winograd, or the recent breakthroughs from 2010 and 2011 (V. Williams) actually have practically intractable constants associated with them. We are, optimistically, 20 years from even approaching the break-even point.)
After databases and math crunching, the distant third of computation might be numerical simulations; a large variety of these receive exponential speed ups on quantum computing due to -- you guessed it -- the natural ability to do quantum walks with quantum computers.
Finally, this is all just the beginning -- there will be so much additional research on all sorts of quantum algorithms once the hardware becomes more mainstream. (e.g. heterogeneous computing between classical and quantum computing; the possibilities are endless.)

Let Their Lights Shine: Six Ways to Make Sure Everyone Has a Say (and Isn't Just Letting the Leader "Win")
Editor's Note: Excerpted from The Firefly Effect: Build Teams That Capture Creativity and Catapult Results, by Kimberly Douglas. Used with permission.
"Innovation is everyone's job now," she asserts. "It's no longer the purview of R&D or marketing. That no longer makes good business sense."
Have the team write down their thoughts first before sharing them aloud. This gives each member a moment to consider how best to phrase their points in order to ensure that others receive the message as intended. It will also help to keep comments tight and on point versus sharing rambling thoughts off the top of their heads, or being ill-prepared to disclose any topics that they feel are worthwhile.
Have a small-group discussion first, followed by a large-group debrief. There is safety in numbers. If something difficult needs to be said, the spokesperson can defer to the group's thinking without taking personal responsibility. Together, they can also figure out the best way to raise a delicate issue before bringing it to the entire team's attention.
Have the team leader leave the room for part of the discussion. While Douglas says she doesn't normally advocate this technique, she has opted for it when extremely sensitive issues are involved or when team members feared a leader's retribution.
Submit comments anonymously. If this is a highly sensitive subject, anonymous comments are a great way to solicit input. Protect anonymity by distributing paper and pencils for everyone to use so that there is no guessing about who wrote what. Of course, be sure to mix up the papers after you collect them prior to sharing them with the group.
Use round-robins. This is a great way to make sure that you give everyone equal airtime. Depending on where you are in the discussion cycle and how much time is remaining, you might need to ask people to limit their input by asking them to speak in headlines; that is, as you might read it on the front page of the newspaper. Do not use this approach, however, if you have not fully vetted a topic. People may feel pressured to summarize their position in a headline without providing some rationale as to why they feel this way.
Always have the leader offer her opinion last. This is one sure way not to influence the direction of the discussion. If you're the leader, don't let the team know what direction you are leaning on a topic until you have heard from everyone. Who knows—you might even change your mind! And when you do share your opinion, be sure that you clearly show that you value what others have said before you. Be candid and honest with your opinion—as they all were—but keep in mind that your perceptions carry extra weight with the group, so measure your words accordingly.

I am looking for a pattern to knit a LARGE xmas stocking......hope someone can help me tk you |
Follow-Up Postings:
krazyknitter, can you already knit socks? If so, unless you want to knit a design into it, just cast on as many stitches as you want. At the heel, you will still devide the sts in half for the heel flap. To turn the heel, you will still purl to 2 sts past center, purl 2 tog, purl 1, turn. Follow the heel turning directions for your basic sock pattern, just use your numbers, instead of the ones given. The basic instructions stay the same. I did a green and white stocking this way for my grandson's first Christmas. White band at the top, I graphed out his name and did that in red in the white band (my one and only attempt at knitting in a design!), then the rest of the stocking in green. It's probably 6 or 7 inches across the top, and 12 or 14 inches long. Foot is probably 10" long. Theses measurements are from memory, as the stocking is packed away, but it was simple to do without a pattern, except for the graph I made of his name. Tami |

Tami..........tks for the info.yes i do knit socks and i will try the lager size again tk you |
Here's a link that might help. It has several stocking patterns. Have fun! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Christmas patterns
You are very welcome. It actually didn't take me as long as I thought it would, since I used worsted weight yarn and bigger needles. Carol_Ann, I'm going to check out your link, also. We could use some new stockings. Tami |

When I was about six years old and attending kindergarten class, I was allowed by my mother to go with my father Porfirio (better known as Ping) in a few piano playing engagements he had around Manila. Foremost among them were the Army Navy Club, Manila Polo Club, Philippine Sea Frontier, and functions at the various diplomatic offices for we were still a young country then co managed by the United States government. You see, Papa was a already a noted Jazz pianist long before I was even born. In fact, he was known among Filipino Jazz musicians as the king of jazz pianists somewhere during the mid thirties. Papa however corrected the fellow musicians by saying "the term Pianists are those who play classical concerts. I play American Jazz so I am called a piano player". And Papa Ping really loved what he was doing. Good looking, personable and a gentleman invariably when he was playing the popular Jazz numbers of the era, the ladies would gravitate to his piano and admiringly watch as he played. I suspect quite a few came rather too close for comfort to my father.
Baptized Porfirio the family fondly called himi "Peping" and later shortened to "Ping" .
It was during the early twenties when he began to switch from classical pieces to Jazz piano numbers as influenced by Fats Waller, Art Tatum and Count Basie - the very talented Negro musicians and loved it.
In time, Papa was already leading a 12 piece Jazz orchestra with contracts abroad like Hongkong, Shanghai, and even in Indonesia.
By the late thirties Papa Ping no longer accepted bookings abroad and on luxury liners, but instead decided to be close to his growing family (I was the eldest and the two girls followed soon after) so he eventually settled for contracts to play at stage shows in Manila theatres starting at the Savoy Theatre (which was renamed Clover after the war). This was when movie houses showed Hollywood movies and in between were the live stage shows, where many who started out as vodavil (they called them that) performers eventually made it in Philippine films and television shows in the fifties and sixties.
Soon, tragedy struck, but Ping was unfazed when his dear father Leocadio suffered his fatal stroke. Immediately, Ping became the sole breadwinner for his mother and nine siblings...and looking back I might say he did wonderfully well.
Not much of the typical father image, I do not recall too many precious moments alone with him save for the usual daily trip when he dropped me off at the Ateneo Grade School in Intramuros and when I would keep him company at the Far Eastern University grounds while waiting for my mother Sarah finish her teaching chores during the early evening hours. Too bad Ping and Mama Sarah could not complete their life together as husband and wife and in 1946 they split up. I was 16 then. Nenita was 14 and Baby was 12. Our young lives were overturned or so it seemed that time. But we stayed with our mother and managed, under the circumstances, to complete our schooling and continued our adventure in life.
Towards the late thirties just years before the Pacific War broke out, Papa Ping worked full time with a brokerage at the Manila South Harbor as Cashier. What I am proud to recall was when suddenly we were at war on December 8, 1941. My father, still with the salaries of employees in his vault still took pains in looking for the addresses of most of the employees and delivering their salaries in their respective homes! That made me proud of him, a true heroic gesture. At the time, offices were closed and law and order had begun to break down. Papa Ping could have just pocketed the salaries and no one would have probably missed it. But, he looked at the situation as an opportunity to do one last act of looyalty, and considered it his sense of duty and loyalty to his position, his firm and his fellow employees.

A few months ago I successfully completed The Launch Sequence offered by Veranda Lane Life and Leadership Coaching. Completed really does not sound like the right choice to use since it was truly the beginning of greatness in my personal and professional life.
So just what does a life coach do?
Put simply, life coaches take techniques from psychology, counseling and mentoring, and combine them to help their clients achieve their goals. Some examples of the techniques used include behavior modification and goal-setting, although almost any technique can be brought in if the coach believes it will be helpful. The coach's most important role is to simply listen to what their client has to say, and help them work through the problems that are standing between them and their goals.
During the process, individuals will be asked questions that help them to really examine their lives through a whole new set of eyes and from an unbiased, knowledgeable perspective.
Some questions will be relatively straightforward: are you happy with the way your life is going? What are you looking to improve in your life – the way you accomplish your work, the amount of and quality of time that you have for your family? Other questions will require more thoughtful answers.
These questions are designed to help the life development coach see to the obstacles that stand between the client and their ultimate success in realizing their goals. These questions encourage the life coach's clients to focus on their fears, their challenges, and on whether or not they are committed to reaching their stated goals.
Reaching goals, like life coaching itself, is a process. Unlike a therapist, a life coach will not work with his or her client to discover the roots of their problems. Instead of looking to the past, a life coach will help their client look to the future. At the end of the process, an individual will be able to clearly identify his or her goals and develop the tools and resources that are needed to achieve them.
Honestly, after each conversation with Raven I would have to sit and decompress for a few moments. Our talks truly helped to solidify my goals and to formulate a written, tangible plan of action.
Raven has a free webinar this Tuesday for those that are wanting to launch a new business. This webinar will be especially helpful for those that will be balancing a full-time job while starting their new business. I highly recommend her services and encourage you to register for her free webinar this week.

The memories of your quinceañera are very important, because it's a day that you'll never relive. One way to guarantee that your memories last forever is to put disposable cameras on each table (here are pretty ones from Uniquely Quince; they cost $7.50 each if you order a bunch). To make sure everyone uses them, ask your court to work the room and strike funny poses with guests.
As far as a professional photographer goes, if you know a girl who recently celebrated her quince, ask if she'd recommend her photographer. (The cost for a photographer is $1,500 to $2,000 for an average of eight hours. Packages vary from albums included to only some prints. And extra prints may cost additional.) When you meet a photographer, heres what to ask and look for:
Do you have any photography advice or wisdom to share?

April is National Grilled Cheese Month. What better way to celebrate than to attend the first ever Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Championship in Mineral Point on Saturday April 21st. I'm especially excited about the event because my friend Caitlin and I will be competing in the amateur classic category. I think we've got a pretty good shot at winning Pictured below is something I concocted for lunch (nothing at all like what we will be making at the event). That is a closely guarded secret!

Im not a hoarder yet. I do have a hard time throwing things out, however. Except for things like banana peels, which I know Ill never find a use for, I have a very strong urge to hang on to things, just in case. (And, I did read that if you rub the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite it calms the itch.)
When we moved from Washington Street out to the country, I hired a dumpster, which was delivered to the driveway. My daughter Morgan and I opened a window in the attic and threw things out, aiming for the dumpster. I had piles of magazines neatly tied with string. I had boxes of baby clothes. (My kids were in their thirties by now!) I had bags of old toys. I had every Christmas decoration I had ever bought or inherited. I might have just carried all of it to the new house, but Morgan exerted her iron will on me, and out it went.
Still, I have a closet or two of things at the new house that I will probably never use. (You never know when you might need a macramé plant hanger!) The idea of a garage sale has come into my mind once or twice, but I had a bad garage sale experience many, many years ago, and gave them up for good. I simply cant get up early enough in the morning to run a successful garage sale the customers were there two hours before the advertised starting time. And then they looked at my merchandise and said in loud voices to their companions as they walked away, Well, this was a waste of time. I had to agree with them.
Giving things away should be easy, right? I took what I thought were very nice clothes to a resale shop a long time ago. The clerk said, Nobody will buy this stuff! I thought, But they buy all this other stuff! So I gave up the idea of getting any money for my used things, and now drop them off at charity stores, where they are nice about my used clothing, even if they dont think it will sell. My daughter says my problem is that I wear my clothes about twenty years longer than most people, so they are hopelessly out of date by the time I give them away.
In fact, I did take a few of my really wowza 80s dresses, with shoulder pads as big as Aaron Rodgers, to the Winona County Historical Society. Jodi Brom, who is the curator, was skeptical about taking any of my clothes for their vintage clothing collection, but when she saw those shoulder pads, she just had to have them!
When I finally did move into my house, I realized that I should have thrown away much more than I did. I still have two boxes that remain unpacked. And there are those closets. Not only that, but the people who owned the house before us left a few things!
Hoarding does serve a purpose, Ive decided. It is concrete evidence that we all have too much stuff. Well never get back to the days of being able to either burn up all our extra stuff in the stove, or feed it to the pig, but it sure would be nice.
Where would I put a pig?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Roxie!
Facts about Roxie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Roxie's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This sweet girl just wants to be loved! She's been through a lot in the last several weeks, and needs some extra TLC to help her feel safe. She loves to be petted and will make biscuits with her single paw. Her left foot was severed when she was a kitten, so she's grown up without it and does just fine on three feet.
Roxie was outdoors fending for herself (and eaten up by fleas), when a concerned person took her to Town Lake Animal Center. Roxie's owner was notified that she was at the shelter and at risk of being euthanized, but there was no response. Luckily, this kitty was pulled from the shelter and now has a second chance to find a loving family.
Other Pets at Homeward Bound Kitty Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roxie, a Austin Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Austin, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Austin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Austin already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Austin breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Austin paves the way for another one to be saved.

This flare-leg scrub pant from Cherokee has an inside waistband that sports the Cherokee logo on an incredibly soft elastic that hugs your body. There is a slimming curved seam along the leg. There are two angled pocket openings at the waist and cargo pockets built into side panels. The inseam is 31" and the fabric is soil-release poly/cotton.
These pants are great! Roomy, love all the pockets to put accessories in for my day. Wish they came in more colors like they did 4-5 years ago. The colors hold up really well.
Pros: Long enough (I can NEVER find scrubs long enough!) Waist that can flip over to customize length Comfortable Cons: BAGGY! Too big - even with the elastic they're loose Order at least a size down, I normally wear an xtra small in pants which is what I got but these are way too big! Not flattering because they're too loose, and they do not 'HUG' you like it says! Overall, I'll wear them, but don't love them. Disappointed.
I love these pants! I had a pair in CNA school and once I got to RN school I ordered 2 more pair. Great for all my stuff I have to carry around and they look good which is a bonus!
love these pants!!
I always felt like I had to decide between storage/pockets and style when it came to pants. Not anymore! I get both with these pants. And the fold-over elastic waist band actually makes them look cute and fit me better (I tend to wear my pants a little low for most scrubs- AKA not above my belly button...). I would highly recommend these- they're the only pants I wear!
