What is the greatest Super Bowl of all time? Is there a Championship Game pre-Super Bowl era that was better?
I was prepared to make my return by detailing my Hall of Fame ballot vote (if I was entitled to one). However, I felt it more prudent to discuss a topic closer to my personal leanings; the Boston Red Sox.
I know, I know, big shocker huh? I can already hear the East Coast Bias engine starting up. But hear me out for a minute here; this is not a post pumping sunshine about the Red Sox or even one in which I am choosing to rant about the short-comings of the team this offseason. No, this post is going to dial in to one player in particular.
I want to discuss Kevin Youkilis and the misconception that he betrayed some sort of false loyalty to the team and its fans by signing with the New York Yankees.
Lets start with the common sense side of things. Kevin Youkilis is a man that poured his soul into the game night in and night out in front of the fans at Fenway Park. He earned his spot in the majors, likely getting more out of his abilities than he rightfully should have and creating a spot for himself in one of baseballs toughest towns.
Baseball is a business and Youkilis started to decline, so the Red Sox made the right choice by handing the reigns over to the heir apparent, Will Middlebrooks. However, the Red Sox handled it poorly, letting Bobby Valentine justify the move by creating a rift with Youkilis was challenging his commitment to the game and his fire. That rift grew to the point where Red Sox management chose to side with Valentine and shipped Youkilis to Chicago for a Coke and a smile.
That all said, Kevin Youkilis owed the Boston Red Sox nothing. Even so, I am sure that he would have re-signed with the team had they courted him to play first base. Boston did not, so Youkilis was left with the option to find work with those calling for it.
Those options boiled down to the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. The Indians offered two things, the ability to play for Terry Francona again, and a two-year deal worth $18 million. All and all, that wasnt a bad deal for a bad-bodied third baseman in decline.
Then the Yankees came a-calling. They suddenly needed someone to replace Alex Rodriguez for at least the first half of the season, but also to likely play defense while A-Rod worked his way back into the line-up as a designated hitter. After getting turned down by Jeff Keppinger and Eric Chavez, the Yankees needed Youkilis, so they did was New York always does, they made him an offer he couldnt refuse.
Youkilis ended up accepting a one-year deal with the Yankees worth $12 million. He gets the chance to revitalize his career in perhaps the most hitter friendly park in the league and gets to play for a contender.
But for Boston to villianize him for making this decision is wrong. Youkilis did not spurn the Red Sox to sign with New York. Youkilis did not choose the Yankees out of some sort of vindictive vendetta that would allow him to enact his revenge against the Red Sox 18-times next season. The fact that he considered these offers for over a week says enough about how much thought went into the decision at hand.
Kevin Youkilis did not owe anything to the Red Sox and he certainly was not making a statement with this signing. To think anything else of him in the wake of this signing is short-sighted and quite frankly, ingnorant to the subject of free agency in general.
He did what any other free agent player would do; he took the best deal on the table and didnt look back.

Employees at Northampton-based Irisys celebrated after being presented the Queen's Award for Enterprise yesterday (Wednesday 3 October) by the Deputy Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, Sir Tim Boswell.
This is the second year in a row that Irisys has achieved the award, the highest official UK recognition for British businesses.
Irisys, a pioneer in infrared technology, won the 2012 Queen's award in the Innovation category for its patented Queue Management technologies. The company won its first Queen's award in 2011 in the International Trade category for its export achievements. Irisys-developed predictive Queue Management is now used by many of the world's leading retailers, including Tesco and Morrisons, to slash waiting times at checkouts.
Sir Tim Boswell said: "Two awards in two years shows a systematic process for success" adding that it is "a treat for me to come and see it and help you celebrate it."
Dr Ian Wilcock, general manager at Irisys said: "Winning an award like this is always very much a team effort. Winning it for the second year in a row makes it seem even more special. Only a handful of companies have ever achieved this, so we're all absolutely delighted. It follows another exceptional year for us, when we saw more strong international growth, launched innovative new products, and expanded our recruitment at our factory and head office, both of which are based in Northampton."
Irisys designs and manufactures thermal detectors and systems which are used for people counting, queue management, thermal imaging, security and in healthcare. It started trading in 1996 and now exports over 80% of its production to more than 50 countries worldwide. The company invests a double digit percentage of revenues in R&D, and holds over 70 patents.
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise is a programme for British businesses and other organisations which excel at international trade, innovation or sustainable development.To be awarded the Queen's Award for Innovation, Irisys had to demonstrate continuous innovation and development over at least five years. Awards are made on the advice of the Prime Minister after examination of applications by an Advisory Committee composed of leading individuals from industry, commerce, trade unions and government. The awards are conferred by the Queen on her birthday every year: 21 April.Winners are allowed to use the Queen's Award emblem in advertising, marketing and on packaging for a period of five years. Winners attend a garden party in July at Buckingham Palace, and are visited during the year by a Lord Lieutenant, the Queen's local representative, to present the award, a crystal chalice.
Irisys picked up the Queen's Award for Export at Buckingham Palace on 14 July - you can read the behind-the-scenes story here. Here are some pictures of the event.

Irisys has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise 2011 - the highest official UK award for British businesses.
We were selected in the International Trade category for "outstanding" export achievements.
We increased overseas sales by 142% to nearly £12 million p.a. over three years, and upped exports from 48% to 83% of production. We now export to more than 40 countries worldwide including North and South America, China and Japan.
It also helped that we invest a double digit percentage of revenues in R&D, and hold over 70 patents.
The Awards are run in a peculiarly British way. The palace wrote to us about it some weeks back, but there was an official embargo until a minute past midnight on the Queen's birthday. The idea is that Her Majesty bestows the honour as a personal birthday gift.
The Award follows an exceptional year for us. We more than doubled our turnover, opened more international offices, and embarked on a major recruitment programme.
We have an extraordinarily talented team here. It's good to gain official recognition that we're doing outstanding stuff.

Carmakers hoping ladies will start their engines

With women driving most car-buying decisions — and driving most cars, period — their influence will be on display at this year's Chicago Auto Show.
From design features to marketing, automakers and show planners are seeking to woo them.
Among female-friendly and inspired features show visitors will see:
◆ A storage area large enough to hold a purse between the front seats of the Toyota Highlander.
◆ A built-in vacuum cleaner inside Honda's Odyssey to clean up messes.
◆ Hands-free liftgate on the Ford Escape and launching on the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, activated by foot to make it easier to access the back of the vehicle when loaded down with groceries or packages.
Organizers will offer manicures at the show, and Ford will give away breast cancer awareness scarves on Women's Day, which is Tuesday.
"Since 2010, women outnumber men behind the wheel," said JoAnn Heck, director of consumer and market insights at Chrysler Group. "The number of women who are their family's sole or primary breadwinner also has soared.
. . . They buy, lease, drive and influence the purchase of a large portion of vehicles."
Indeed, auto show representatives say women influence 85 percent of vehicle purchases.
"If we don't get it right for women, forget it; you've ignored most of your market that are making decisions," said Kara Gordon, an engineer at General Motors.
At GM, multiple cup holders in the rear and USB ports for backseat passengers to charge their phones, video games systems and tablet computers are among features added on vehicles with women in mind, said Fred Ligouri, GM spokesman.
Perimeter lighting features that automatically turn on when hitting the lock and unlock button were also meant to appeal to women, he said.
Ford representatives say a passive entry/passive start system available on its vehicles, which automatically unlocks the vehicle as you approach and can start it without a key, is among its women-friendly features. The company also offers adjustable pedals.
The Toyota Sienna minivan is extra family-friendly in offering a DVD entertainment system with a 16.4-inch dual screen that can show two movies or two games, said spokesman Curtis McAllister.
The most important factors for female vehicle shoppers are affordability, fuel efficiency, safety and driving performance, according to surveys by Kelley Blue Book.
"Women tend to want practicality, a good price, really great colors and styling," said Tara Weingarten, founder of vroomgirls.com, a website targeting female drivers. "We appreciate really nice fabrics and beautiful lines in a car."
Having a vehicle that's fun to drive also is important, said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager at Ford. "Women's definition of fun to drive [is]: 'How do I look in the vehicle when I'm driving? How do I feel when I walk away from that vehicle or when I approach that vehicle, does it make me feel proud?' " she said.
Cadillac has zeroed in on the pride thing. One of its TV commercials features a smiling, professional-looking mom picking up her child in the new Cadillac SRX crossover. The vehicle prompts dads' heads to turn. As they stare at it, the song "Stacy's Mom" — with the line "Stacy's mom has got it going on" — plays in the background.
Cadillac has been creative in trying to reach potential female luxury buyers. Last year, it selected high-end restaurants in five cities where reservations were typically hard to get, including Chicago's Perennial Virant, said Melody Lee, Cadillac's director of brand and reputation strategy. Cadillac reserved the restaurants for a night and invited prospective female customers to have dinner, take a drive in the Cadillac ATS and get a ride back to their cars in an Escalade, she said.
Across the luxury vehicle space, more men are buying today, "but if you take a look at all the data out there, those numbers are shifting," Lee said. "You can tell that the tides are changing."

There's a nasty flu going round. An epidemic, they call it. The posters say to cover your mouth when you sneeze, and throw away the tissue. But such simple measures won't stop this flu. Because when you catch this flu, armed police come and lock you in your house to die alone. When you catch this flu, it kills you in days. And when you catch this flu, two hours after it's killed you, your eyelids snap open again....
Flu is a pacey, terrifying, frighteningly real zombie horror story.
©2012 Wayne Simmons (P)2012 Tantor
"Simmons writes like the grotesque love child of George A. Romero and Charles Dickens." (Physical Graffiti)
"zombie story?"
not downloading it
please don't write a zombie like book and have them as a background detail, like the lamp was on, oh there are flesh eating things in the hall, what's for dinner?
as long as it is not a zombie story
start middle and end
I would ask for a refund but I think that this author may need as much money as he can get to order Zombie fallout and find out what a zombie is before trying again.
All of my reviews are on my blog audiobookreviewer dot com
"Sick with Flu to Zombie, it could happen"
Well, I can hope all I want and not get what I want. Flu: Flu Series, Book 1 is definitely of the psychological zombie thriller variety. While this may not be what I was expecting I was able, after about 3 1/2 hours to get into the storyline. I have found that most zombie stories are the same virus infection, wide spread panic, complete anarchy, survivors trying to survive, the military up to something. But what is different between then all are the details of how the author tries to make their story different enough to stand on its own. The one major difference I found with this audiobook was that one doesn't have to be bitten by a zombie or die, bit one can just become a zombie spontaneously. Sure not a lot happened in Flu: Flu Series, Book 1, as stated by other reviews, but it seems to me that Simmons is setting up for an even better second book and/or series and I will definitely be on board and not be bored.
Michael Kramer I found is one of the deep voiced, super polished voice-over narrators that I wrote about in my previous review of Timothy. One thing that bothered about Kramer's narration was that the story takes place in Ireland and usually, in my experience of listening to many audiobooks, the narrator will narrate with at least an accent, good or bad, of the people that live in the area. Kramer chose not to do this and the only time he used an accent was with the dialog of the characters that ended up mostly sounding the same. Kramer all read almost entirely at one speed no matter what was happening within the story and this, to me, can detract from the overall encapsulation of the audiobook experience.
"Poorly Written"
None of the characters were interesting or believable. He gave me no reason to care about any of them.
I wanted them all to be eaten by the zombies in the end.
I stopped listening when I realized that I wanted all the characters to just die already. I was rooting for the zombies. Ugh.
The zombies-in-Ireland theme is pretty cool, but the execution was atrocious.
"Long and Boring"
Such a slow story line. Lots of standing around and talking but no action in this book...
"Don't waste your time"
No one this book is slow and boring.
The characters are boring and I can't even keep track of them due to this.
I am so bored with this book. I have tried to storm thru it since I used a credit on it but will have to chalk this up as a credit wasted!!! The book doesn't even dive into the zombies and I am on chapter 28. This book is a waste of time so don't waste yours!!!!!
"Painful to listen to"
I've never read anything by Wayne Simmons before, however, after struggling to get 1/4 through this book, and finally giving up, I don't think I'll ever read anything by him again. I finally just gave up and called it unreadable.
I've yet to figure out who the main char. is, or what the story is about - it starts off as a typical Zombie story, people turning undead, then wanders off into some girl that's being held captive by some guy. From there it only got worse.
1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
"A few parallel story lines"
And not one of them is original in the least.
When I read reviews on Amazon, I expected something more, something extraordinary....
There are lots of reviews with flying colors, but there is nothing original or special in this book.
This book is just a report of people's actions. A typical "Zombie" Genre "book clone"
The Best Post-apocalyptic Zombie Book is "World War Z"
and if you prefer interesting Zombie Book without Apocalypse,
try "Patient Zero" Joe Ledger book 1
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Pancakes, the Chinese Way Scattered with scallions, these crispy little rounds offer a one-of-a-kind snacking opportunity |
It was the kind of meal that makes you re-evaluate everything you had believed about Chinese food, or food at all. And while everything was good better than good the scallion pancakes stood out. Served cut in quarters and piled in a stack, these highly fragrant fried cakes were scattered with bits of fresh scallion, crusty on the outside, chewy and just a bit doughy on the inside. I'd never seen anything like them.
Before my encounter with scallion pancakes, I hadn't known that Chinese food had any sort of bread. But China is the world's largest wheat producer, so of course they do make breads. Wheat flour is used not only in scallion pancakes but also in the mandarin pancakes that envelop mu shu and in the almost foamy breading that holds the meat inside char siu bao, the steamed pork buns without which no dim sum would be complete.
When I was old enough to prowl Chinese restaurants on my own, I tried a series of disappointing versions: greasy, overdone, too doughy, not enough scallions. It would be up to me, it seemed, to make a passable pancake at home. To my mind, the ideal scallion pancake is thin (an eighth to a fourth of an inch), with identifiable layers of dough, golden-brown and crisp on the outside, chewy inside. It should burst with the flavor of fried scallions; if they're inadequately cooked, it's distracting. The scallions are not cooked separately, which is why a thin pancake and well-chopped scallions are vital. Making the pancakes is simple in theory. Roll finely chopped scallions and sesame oil up in an unleavened dough of flour, salt and water, then flatten and fry. Tiny alterations in the formula, however, make for major differences when the sizzling finished product emerges from the pan. I began with a recipe from Helen Chen's reliable "Chinese Home Cooking" (Hearst). Chen's recipe calls for bacon, which seems kind of silly. I'll probably try it at some point hey, I'd probably try tarte tatin with bacon. But the whole point of scallion pancakes is that they taste like scallions, so I forewent the bacon. An adulteration I can recommend, however, is to add some toasted Szechuan peppercorns along with the scallions; the pancakes are commonly enjoyed this way in China. Chen's recipe makes pancakes that cook up thick too thick for my taste. Try as I might, I couldn't roll them thin enough. I made the recipe several times and couldn't work out this bug. They were certainly edible, but the interior was doughy and harbored undercooked scallions. Not there yet. Next I turned to Nina Simonds' "A Spoonful of Ginger" (Knopf), which is ostensibly about the practice of food-as-medicine in Asia, but is really just another great collection of recipes from the author of the indispensable "Asian Noodles." I spotted my quarry on page 241, a Pulitzer-worthy photo of a stack of crunchy, glistening scallion pancakes. Here was the flatbread that made me sweat! I knew I was on the right track and decamped forthwith to the grocery store for a box of Softasilk cake flour. The Simonds formula departs in significant ways from Chen's. Simonds uses mostly cake flour instead of all-purpose wheat flour, and adds 2 tablespoons of corn oil to the dough (I didn't have corn oil handy, so I substituted canola). Cake flour is lower in gluten than all-purpose, which meant it would fight less as I rolled it flat. The corn oil would lubricate the strands of gluten and soften the dough further. This dough had a higher ratio of water, and more resting periods to let the gluten relax. All signs pointed to a flatter, lighter pancake. Unfortunately, the pendulum had swung too far. The dough was so moist it was like trying to knead Jell-O, and I had to overcompensate by flouring all surfaces heavily, including my arms, torso and face. On the other hand, I was clearly onto something: The resulting cakes were tough and the layers had cohered, but they were fully cooked and the flavor was right on. They also looked exactly like the picture, so I guess Simonds likes her pancakes thin and crispy. Now I knew what I had to do. First, I switched to a 50-50 mix of cake flour and all-purpose. The gluten had been more than mollified last time around; it was dead, and it needed at least a partial reanimation if I wanted to retain those thin layers of dough. I cut back the water, then chopped up some more scallions, looked over what I had done, and began to cry. I always cry when I chop onions. This dough was still moist and pliable but easier to handle. I rolled out some thin pancakes, let them rest for as long as I could bear, and tossed them into a pan of sizzling oil. Three minutes on the first side, two on the second, and they were done. These were the best I'd ever made, salty and crackling with oily, oniony goodness. I didn't sprinkle the scallions quite close enough to the edge of the circle, and I'd overdone it a touch on the sesame oil. The thinnest sheen you can manage will cut it no need to go all Exxon Valdez. By the time I made my next batch well, what can I say? I'd finally turned out about as perfect a pile of pancakes as can be. Szechuan Chongqing Restaurant still operates in East Vancouver, by the way. Since my first meal there, they've moved into larger quarters on Commercial Street, but the scallion pancakes are still good enough to impress a 12-year-old.

I originally posted this in the Old House forum but with further research I believe I may need to do something with this duct.
Here is the original post:
In the wall, I found what appears to be a functioning, extra return duct (6 x 18, extending from the wall of our basement and reaching up underneath the floor of the bathroom on the second floor, only stopping short of the second floor bathroom floor by a half of foot or so). The bottom of the duct returns to our big return trunk in the basement (right before the A/C unit) through a cinderblock wall and the top cuts off without any kind of capper and obviously it doesn't extend through the bathroom or family room wall, it is just there sucking in non-living space air for the last 50 years. First question, what should be done with this?
Second question, is there any purpose to this duct? I assume sucking in non-heated or non-AC air only makes the HVAC system work harder to maintain the appropriate air temp in the living areas since this area is not all insulated. Third question, should I insulate this space while I have it open? This is a few foot thick empty space between the back wall of my kitchen and family room, the top side of the back wall of my laundry side of an unfinished basement (split level house) and bottom area under my newly busted up bathroom on the second floor. The 50 year old tile was all ripped up due to the leak so for the time being I can look through the subfloor upstairs into this space and into a foot or so of my family room via the broken wall down there. I have recently spoken with a neighbor who has a similar style house and he believes this duct was supposed to reach the second floor.
Any recommendations are welcome. |

I would see if there is a way to put in a second return into the ceiling on the second floor might be worth looking into. |

your hvac company that has seen you situation has a better view of what is going on than we do...just saying...but "First question, what should be done with this? if it truly is abandoned then cap it off as close to the "Second question, is there any purpose to this duct? I assume sucking in non-heated or non-AC air only makes the HVAC system work harder to maintain the appropriate air temp in the living areas since this area is not all insulated." hard to say without seeing the duct & surrounding areas. 'Third question, should I insulate this space while I have it open? ' best of luck. |

I know someone who had the same situation and the space could be used for wire runs to the attic so he put conduit from the basement to the attic and then sealed the space and blew it full of insulation and ran a coax for an antenna in the attic and sealed it and the remaining conduits. |
Is it possible the upstair bathroom was renovated by a previous owner and during the renovation someone decided to remove the return vent in the bathroom? Most duct systems have insufficient return air. It would be nice if you could make use of this return. I am not sure capping the return is a good idea. Even though it is buried in a wall cavitiy, it is still pulling in some amount of air back to your furnace. Can you temporarily block the return duct and see how it affects the performance of your supply vents? |
Thanks for all the responses and ideas. To fill in further, the bathroom is original (pink tiles, tub and all), it never was moved or remodeled. The duct in question stops 2 inches under the subfloor to the bathroom and never went into the room. The wall it is located in is an interior wall. You literally can see the wires for the kitchen stove area lighting and the back of the wall from the fridge from the family room side. The real in use return duct which has a vent in the family room is a foot away. This duct goes into the basement where it meets the return system next to that duct. The other return side has a duct in the living room (split level between first and second floor) and there are the two small return vents in the stair side of the linen closet on the second floor before it ends inches from the attic crawl space. I could potentially see running some sort of return into the master bedroom on second floor since this duct is literally 4 feet away in the exposed area. The other two rooms which also have no return are more than 10 feet away and the floors are closed up and have old hardwood. Even though our HVAC is less than a year old the upstairs (especially) the two rooms are not near the other rooms temps. |

Many codes prohibit returns in bathrooms (and kitchens). V |
I don't think anyone would put it in bathroom or kitchen. I am speaking about one of the bedrooms. |

/ Connecticut's Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program and Conservation Planning
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and its conservation partners work with the Connecticut Department of Agriculture (DOAG), land trusts, and municipalities to encourage farmers to continue good farming practices by managing their land according to a conservation plan. Under the Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program (FRPP), NRCS helps farmers conduct a resource inventory, an assessment, and develop progressive conservation plans for farms that have applied to sell development rights. By cooperating with NRCS, Connecticut will receive additional federal funds for farmland protection (to match state funds) and more farmers will be able to participate.
Once a farm has been protected, the farmer must control erosion on Highly Erodible Land (HEL) and keep the conservation plan current. These requirements are spelled out in the Conservation Easement.
A conservation plan is a document that describes what you – the farmer – has agreed to do at the time the plan is developed. It's your plan, and you make the decisions. The plan can be a whole farm plan or a progressive plan to address some (but not all) of the concerns. It documents existing practices and decisions, and includes a schedule to address natural resource concerns. The plan can be revised at your request and must be revised when the farm is sold, new cropland is acquired, or when the operation changes. You may revise the plan by selecting other options, or by changing the scheduled date of a practice.
The process includes a farm resource inventory and an assessment that identify issues and opportunities associated with soil, water, air, plant, and animal resources. This process helps ensure that your needs – and those of your farm's natural resources – are met and that federal, state, and local requirements can be achieved. As part of the planning process, NRCS can help you identify federal and state programs which may provide financial assistance for needed practices.
Before closing on the sale of development rights, both the resource inventory and conservation plan need to be completed. It's very important to start the planning process early. The resource inventory can help you gather information needed for the application process and to identify issues associated with highly erodible cropland or other resource concerns that need attention. The sooner you identify and resolve issues, the easier it will be to receive FRPP funds.
NRCS will help you develop and implement a conservation plan for free! You can also complete your own plan or hire someone to do it. However, plans must be reviewed and approved by an NRCS conservation planner and the conservation district. NRCS can also help you identify funding sources to implement the plan.
The planning process identifies your concerns and objectives, inventories and evaluates natural resource concerns, and presents alternative conservation systems and practices for your choosing and implementation. An NRCS planner will help you do this. You will decide which conservation practices to implement.
A plan to protect highly erodible land (HEL) from erosion must be developed and implemented prior to closing. Highly erodible cropland must be identified and decisions to control erosion, along with an implementation schedule, documented. The level of control required is dependent up on the history of the field. A crop or hayfield must be planned to allow no more than two times the tolerable (sustainable) soil loss level (2T). Fields with no crop history, such as areas converted from woodlands, must be planned to allow no more than tolerable soil loss levels (T). NRCS will make periodic visits to your farm to monitor this part of your plan.
The following document requires Adobe Acrobat.
If you can't implement a planned conservation practice due to limited finances, NRCS will not require you to do so. Instead, NRCS will help you develop alternatives, revise the timetable, document them and help you find needed funding. This is your conservation plan. Except for practices used to control erosion on HEL, there are no mandatory out-of-pocket expenditures. Most practices used to control erosion are low cost. Typical practices may include adopting a corn-grass rotation or timely planting of cover crops.
An NRCS conservationist will perform most of the inventory and planning work on farms applying for conservation easements. During the inventory, NRCS will determine if HEL or wetland conversion violations have occurred. Most HEL violations can be easily resolved by implementing the required practices. NRCS will give you one year to implement or install them. Longer term HEL violations will be referred to DOAG, or whomever manages the easement. These are considered a breach of the terms specified in the conservation agreement. NRCS will not report wetland conversions to other agencies. However, if you desire to remain eligible for most USDA programs, you will have to resolve the wetland conversion.
You should work with the NRCS staff on planning and implementation. You may be contacted by the land trust or DOA during their normal stewardship visits, but land trust and DOA monitors do not have the expertise to help understand, explain or change the plan. NRCS staff will share the plan with these groups, if desired.
You're free to sell the farm but the new owner must comply with the legal restrictions of the Conservation Easement. The new owner should contact NRCS to review and revise the conservation plan; especially if there will be changes to the farm operation. It's mandatory for the new owner to develop and implement a NRCS approved plan to protect cropland from erosion.
Conservation Planning is a dynamic process. The time involved depends on your interest and the size of your operation. The steps include:

Morel and Asparagus Pasta
5 fresh or dried morel mushrooms 1 lb. Spaghettini or angel-hair pasta 3 tbsp. unsalted butter 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 medium shallots, finely chopped 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream Juice and zest of 1 lemon Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste enough grated parmesan and pecorino cheese to equal
If using dried morels, rehydrate by placing in a bowl with 8 cups boiling water. Set aside until morels are tender, about 30 minutes. Slice in half lengthwise. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with enough salty water to cook pasta and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 13 minutes, or according to manufacturer's directions. Drain in colander and set aside.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about
4 minutes. Add morels, asparagus, and stock and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until asparagus is tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover, stir in cream, and continue to cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add pasta, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cheese. Toss until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, sprinkle with more cheese.

Soon, the cold soil will crack and soften to bring the first signs of greenery. Soon, the sun will be warm enough to dissolve the last briskness in the morning air. And when the song sparrow begins to sing the rites of spring, their soft serenade returns us to the memory of spring's most delectable edibles that will pop up so very soon.
It will all happen soon.
Although the ground is still frozen, cabin fever has us aching for the fresh flavors of spring to rear their pretty little heads; but April has very little to offer. However, what it does offer are some of the strongest, most delicious flavors of the season. Wild asparagus and morels fit into a fleeting time slot in early spring making them desirable for not only their flavor, but their rarity, too. A bit of extra novelty gets stirred in with the fact that both of these spring edibles must be foraged.
Avid foragers might begin looking for wild asparagus in wet Indiana lowlands in early April, or as soon as the thawed ground rises above 50 degrees. For morel hunters, it may be a little later. But when the ache to sample spring's first gleanings gets too great, the hunts begin now.
Perhaps it's the pining for fresh spring vegetables, or it could even be the cabin fever; whatever it is, though, has foodies yearning for a sample of spring's offering. Just a taste won't cut it. The craving is there and it must be satisfied.
Asparagus and morel mushrooms—why not entwine them together? This pasta dish stars both spring ingredients equally, neither one overpowering the other with its intense flavor. Although both the morels and asparagus have their own tasty idiosyncrasies—the morels with their robust earthiness, the wild asparagus with a piquant flavor of fresh greens—each melds together with the mildness of a lemon Parmesan pasta.
While forest-foraged morels and wild asparagus are always preferred, sometimes the weather and temperature does not cooperate. This recipe needs neither to operate as a delicious spring meal. Dried morels, rehydrated, and bunched asparagus will act as meaningful substitutes. The only thing missing is the slight adventure of foraging.

Double Time
Announcing the Final Data Pack in the Spin Cycle |
Android: Netrunner The Card Game | Published 10 October 2013 |
"Don't try to anticipate every move. Just anticipate the moves that matter."
–Reina Roja
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of Double Time, the sixth and final Data Pack in the Spin Cycle for Android: Netrunner!
While it has drawn new attention to the game's mechanics for traces and bad publicity, the Spin Cycle has also introduced a number of powerful Double events and operations, each of which requires its owner to spend a click to play it, in addition to its normal costs. In a game that's as full of bluffs, counter-bluffs, risks, and gambles as Android: Netrunner, Doubles demand a heavy investment of the actions available on any given turn, but if you play them right, they offer tremendous rewards. In Double Time, you'll find a significant focus on these events, as they represent twenty-one of the Data Pack's sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty individual cards).
Will you sacrifice versatility for raw power? It's time to Double down!
The Red Queen Makes Her Move
While she appears in the cycle's third Data Pack, Mala Tempora, it's in Double Time that the Red Queen, Reina Roja (Mala Tempora, 41), finally reveals the true nature of her most daring gambit.
Queen's Gambit (Double Time, 102) is a zero-credit Double event that can score up to six credits. However, to earn those six credits in just two clicks, you have to place three advancement counters on an unrezzed card in one of the Corp's remote servers. The gamble, here, is that you're likely helping the Corp score an agenda or increasing the potency of a potential Ambush. Of course, neither of those options is particularly enticing, so you'll likely want to find some way to "cheat" the wager.
Your first recourse is to expose the card. You could play Infiltration (Core Set, 49) to find an unrezzed card like Melange Mining Corp (Core Set, 108) that won't offer the Corp any advantage for the advancement counters you place on it. Then Queen's Gambit becomes a guilt-free grab of six fast credits.
Another option is to simply destroy whatever card you advance. The Anarchs gain another Double event in Double Time, the server-smashing Singularity (Double Time, 101). With the four clicks available to you in a single turn, you could gain six credits from Queen's Gambit and then trash whatever card you advance with Singularity, along with all the other cards in that server. This offers the Runner a good way to deal with troublesome Corp upgrades like SanSan City Grid (Core Set, 92) and Ash 2X3ZB9CY (What Lies Ahead, 13). It also plays well into any Anarch strategy that wants to access cards from the Corp's Archives. If that card you advanced actually was a Project Junebug (Core Set, 69), you'll feel validated when your Singularity trashes it and you find it, later, in the Archives.
Corp players also gain intriguing new Doubles in Double Time. As an example, NBN gains the Double operation, Corporate Shuffle (Double Time, 113).
In its simplest use, Corporate Shuffle allows the Corp player to refill his hand to five cards for the cost of two clicks. Typically, the Corp is wary of drawing too many cards out of R&D. This is because HQ is a common target and because the Corp's accelerated card draw moves it closer to the loss condition that occurs if it's ever forced to draw from an empty R&D. However, it's rarely good to be completely starved of cards and the options they represent.
That said, the real strength of Corporate Shuffle may lie not in its ability to get cards into HQ, but in its ability to get cards out of HQ. Ideally, the Corp wants to draw its agendas, along with a steady mix of ice, operations, upgrades, and other cards that it can use to guard those agenda points from the Runner. However, it's not entirely uncommon for a poor shuffle to distort that mix, and the Corp player may end up with several agendas in hand and no way to protect them.
Here, Corporate Shuffle becomes an effective protective measure for the midgame. It costs less than the ice the Corp player would likely need to end one or more runs, and it can bury those agenda points back in R&D where the Runner may not be able to access them. Certainly, there's a chance that the Corp could simply draw back into the same number of agendas, or more, but when you've got six more agenda points in your hand, the benefits certainly outweigh the risks.
Finally, Corporate Shuffle may help the Corp draw one or more key cards. While Android: Netrunner doesn't focus on card combinations the same way many other card games do, it does feature a number of strategies, such as the ever-popular "tag and bag" strategy, that hinge upon one or more key cards. Corporate Shuffle offers the Corp one more option to help pull those pieces together as quickly as possible.
It's Time to Double Down
Android: Netrunner is full of bluffs, baiting, traps, and trickery. As the Corp and Runner engage in their high-stakes, cat-and-mouse cyberstruggles, they probe each other's weaknesses and look for ideal moments to strike. Neither ever has the benefit of perfect information, so sometimes the best that either can do is make a plan and double down.
With its new events, operations, ice, programs, resources, and assets, Double Time introduces a range of new options for you to incorporate into your plans. Start planning for the future, because the time is coming to double down. Double Time is scheduled to arrive at retailers in early 2014!
Based on the classic card game designed by Richard Garfield, Android: Netrunner The Card Game is a game for two players set in the dystopian future of Android. It pits monolothic megacorps against subversive netrunners in a high-stakes struggle for the control of valuable data.

Following his excursion into Downtown NYC via Velvet Underground & Nico, Beck takes his Record Club to Montreal with a track-by-track smothering covering of Songs Of Leonard Cohen. As we mentioned when we posted "Suzanne," he's joined by "Devendra Banhart, Ben, Andrew and Matt from MGMT, Andrew from Wolfmother, Binki from Little Joy, and Brian [Lebarton] and Bram [Inscore] returning from the first Record Club." Here they do "Sisters Of Mercy," which should make your ears bleed less than their take on "Suzanne."
Let's fill-in the gaps:
"The Stranger Song"
"Winter Lady"
"Master Song"
Up next is "So Long, Marianne."

When we built our house we had a company do a rough-in of the hide-a-hose system (I believe it is from http://www.hideahose.biz/ ), anyways, we are wanting to get it finished now but don't know where to get started. We would like to do as much as possible ourselves.
Is there some useful information out there? is there a way to know what is already installed? we have a pipe going all the way to the garage, some wires in the garage and the pipes go to the main floor and basement and they end on boxes that look like the ones in the rough in kit from this page http://www.hideahose.biz/docs/prod_support/HS3000-Installation-Guide.pdf Anyways any help, tips, pointers, etc would be very appreciated. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm a bit confused by your question. You had a rough in of a Hide a hose system, so I assume this means that you have hoses installed in your house, lines in your walls for the vacuums, but just no vacuum cleaner installed? Do you have the receipt or contact information for the people who did the rough in to confirm what was done? |
The PVC is in the walls. There are two boxes where the PVC lines end inside the house. The boxes look pretty much like this but covered: http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/images/xlg/cvs/hide-a-hose-hs300053.jpg I doubt the hose is already in there but I guess it could be, I don't know how that really works. And yes we are missing the actual vacuum and probably some other details. I don't have the receipt since it was done by the builder but I do know who did it, I just wanted to avoid wasting their time since I figured they will want to come in and give me a proper bid and try to sell me on their services. |
Can you see a hose in the wall behind the outlet or something you would attach a hose to? |
I can't really see a hose. There is a 12/14 gauge electric wire, and a much smaller electric wire as well (low volt). The outlet really looks just like this: http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/images/xlg/cvs/hide-a-hose-hs300053.jpg And it has the wires and the pvc attached to it. The pvc goes all the back to the garage. |
Is your home a single story with crawlspace? |
The hoses for the hide a hose system are supposed to be inside the PVC tubing. |
We have a basement, however it is finished. But that is why we had it roughed in since we knew the basement would be finished. I know the hose goes inside the pvc, but I don't know if it is there already or if it can be added later. The rough-in (which came from contacting the hide-a-hose website http://www.hideahose.com/ ) is supposed to have everything you need to do before finishing the walls. I guess I'll have to contact the installers to see what else I need. |
We had someone install ours after the build. They also roughed it in, like you described. What we needed was the vacuum/motor part that is attached to our garage wall and plugged in. We also needed the hose & hose sock as well as attachments. You could do all of this yourself, but you need to be sure to get the right powered vacuum unit for your space... |
"The hoses for the hide a hose system are supposed to be inside the PVC tubing." They are not (usually) included in a "rough-in".... you can easily add the hose at a later date. The vacuum sucks the hose into the PVC for you.... |
Ah, my mistake! |

Are you sure the rough in was for HAH and not just a regular CV? The reason I ask is because the HAH install has to be done a certain way. (i.e. correct pipe housing length and gradual sweeps must be used) It sounds like there are rough in kits attached to the pipe terminations, but no trim kits yet. You still need the trim kits, hoses/fittings, and the vacuum itself. You need to also find out the length of the hose pipe housing so you can buy the appropriate length of hose. If it were me, I'd get them to price you out a final install. They should itemize it enough for you to compare prices online. For example, how many trim kits, hoses, socks/accessories, make/model of vacuum, etc. I can't imagine those things would be marked up so much that you'd save a ton by doing it yourself. The bulk of the HAH install is all the piping that has to be installed because the layout and length of pipe has to be calculated properly for the hoses. Don't let them try to sell you a bunch of accessories you just won't use and maybe that will keep your costs to a minimum. |
Yeah it was for HAH. I think I'll give them a call to see if they can give me a quote. I'm pretty sure the length was 50 feet, I kind of remember them saying that was as long as they could go or something like that. |

The Kowa LMVZ41 1/2" Varifocal Manual Iris Lens (4 to 10mm) incorporates the 3-Cam design. This innovative system solves the problem of de-centering, which sometimes occurs in the conventional pole system. Not only is the movement of the lens impaired by de-centering, but the optical performance suffers too. The 3-Cam design also reduces internal reflection. As a result, the image obtained by this design is much sharper than that of the conventional pole system. Moreover, with the 3-Cam design, you can expect high optical performance and a longer service life.

<;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" target="_blank">BMW announced pricing for its most athletic 7-series sedan, the 2011 Alpina B7. Pricing for short-wheelbase B7 models will start at $122,875, while long wheelbase cars command at least $126,775. Both figures include an $875 destination charge.
This latest B7 is the second generation to come to the States, and like its predecessor, it's filled to the brim with exclusivity and performance. Its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 boasts an impressive 500 hp and 516 pound-feet of torque courtesy of new pistons, larger intercoolers, and a revised 14.5 psi boost pressure. Power output is some 100 hp and 66 lb-ft more than a 750i with the same base mill, which is reportedly good enough to catapult the four-door from 0-60 mph in a reported 4.5 seconds.
<;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Handling is improved by a lower ride height and 21-inch forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in sticky Michelin rubber. New splitters fore and aft also reduce lift by 30 percent up front and 15 percent out back, while at the same time providing a clean look.
Swing open a door and you'll find Lavalina leather matched with Myrtle Burl wood trim. Alcantara headliners and Alpina badging round out the B7's interior package.

Community Board 5 last Wednesday unanimously approved the plan for a sidewalk cafe at Joe and John's Pizzeria in Ridgewood, the first of its kind for the area.
Attorney Michael Kelly, representing the Myrtle Avenue eatery, said the unenclosed addition would feature 20 tables and 43 seats across three rows, and occupy approximately 7 feet of space from the front of the pizzeria, leaving about 10 feet for sidewalk traffic on the bustling strip. Nothing in the plans, which have been submitted to the Department of Consumer Affairs, calls for any sort of canopy or table umbrellas. The pizza shop's business hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The thumbs-up from the board came with a proviso, suggested by member Paul Kerzner, that the owner of Joe and John's plant two street trees in front of the establishment. Still, many voiced their support for the plan.
"This would be the first sidewalk cafe — probably the first of many," Chairman Vincent Arcuri Jr. said.
Ted Renz, executive director of the Myrtle Avenue Business Improvement District, said its executive board unanimously approved the addition.
"It's part of a long-range strategy to bring nightlife to the avenue and bring some sort of ambience," he noted at the meeting.
"It's a real way to improve that strip by having a destination," said Michael Hetzer, board member and vice president of Citizens for a Better Ridgewood.
With the board's approval, the cafe plan, which calls for a two-year renewable license, awaits a green light from the city.

So what do you do with an expired box of mashed potato flakes? You cook them up and let your kids play with their food!
I found an expired box of mashed potatoes flakes tucked in the back of the pantry. I didn't want them to completely go to waste, so I boiled some water (didn't bother to add milk or butter since we wouldn't be eating these), let them cool, added them to our sensory bin and let my tot and preschooler have some messy fun!
First they used their sand toys to make mashed potato sculptures.
Then they created a winter wonderland using miniature polar animals. (This was the same set of animals from our Polar Region Sensory Bin.)
It was a little messy, but a whole lot of fun for my tot and preschooler. And now I feel a little less guilty for letting the box of mashed potato flakes expire!
I link-up at these great parties!

About Maple View Farm Dairy Operations
History • Milk Products • Butter • Nutrition InformationHistory
In order to increase the profit for our milk and make it possible to continue dairying at Maple View Farm, an on-farm bottling operation became a serious option. It took over a year of exploring this option before any definitive action was taken. Everyone took their time and hired two consultants to assist. The idea became reality.
On November 11, 1996, Maple View Farm milk was first processed and bottled in a new facility on the farm. Mike Strowd and Roger Nutter are now co-owners of this new company, Maple View Farm Milk Company, LLC. Roger is the plant manager.
Maview cows produce over two million pounds of milk every year. Maple View Farm milk and butter is sold in approximately 50 selected local area stores. Almost all milk produced on the farm is processed and bottled at the plant.
Only milk from Maple View Farm cows is, and will be, bottled here. Milk is available in returnable glass bottles. Plastic pints (recyclable) of a few products are available. Conservation of landfill space is an important issue for Orange County citizens who are very vocal in their concerns regarding the environment.
Milk Products
Whole milk
Pasteurized and homogenized as it comes from the cow with Vitamin D added. A Holstein wholesome product. Nature's most nearly perfect food.
Low-Fat milk
Lot-fat milk without low-fat taste! Vitamins A and D are added. Less than 1% butterfat.
Skim milk
Skim milk that tastes as good as it is for you! Vitamins A and D are added. Butterfat is only .0025%, but the taste is 100% Holstein wholesome.
Chocolate milk
Rich, creamy, smooth and flavorful. A chocolate lover's delight!
The taste like grandmother used to make. The best friend cornbread and biscuits ever knew.
To find the store nearest you, check out the Where to Buy page.
Maple View makes a delicious tasting butter. We use fresh cream, lightly salted to obtain a great product. It can be used as any commercial butter.
It is great for baking or on hot buttermilk biscuits. (Made with Maple View buttermilk of course!)

Student stories
First Nations student hopes to work in renewable energy
Engineering and Computer science
Jessica Bekker (Blackfoot)
Schneider Electric
Blackfoot student Jessica Bekker has a clear goal: she wants to use the skills she's developing through UVic's electrical engineering program to help Canada's First Nations communities achieve energy independence. "By using renewable energies like solar power, these communities could become automomous," she says. "I want to help them get there."
Read the rest of this experience
Jessica's dream has given her a sense of purpose and meaning while she studies. "It was initially hard to pursue electrical engineering without a clear goal in mind," says Jessica. "But now that I know what I want to achieve, things are really coming together." Jessica is passionate about renewable power and thinks that First Nations communities could be "in front of the wave" in battling climate change.
As an engineering student at UVic, Jessica has complemented her classroom learning through the Co-operative Education Program, by alternating academic terms with paid work experience with real world employers. This has given her the chance to explore her strengths and develop new skills in a real work place. During the summer of 2008, she worked for Schneider Electric in Victoria, a world leader in electrical distribution, and industrial control and automation products, systems and services. As a product management assistant, Jessica produced a demo for a newly developed software program.
"At Schneider I was able to gain more knowledge about power systems, power metering and energy efficiency. In the end, my confidence grew knowing that I can be successful in a business and technical environment. Co-op gives students like me the chance to test the waters, update their résumé and earn money to pay off their student debt. I think it's great," says Jessica.
Jessica is excited about the future and encourages other First Nations students to find ways to give back to the Aboriginal community. She knows first-hand that life can get in the way—she took some time off school when her daughter Rachel was born, but returned to UVic after some coaxing from her husband Eric. "He pushed me to finish school," she says. "I'm glad that I'm accomplishing something with my life. It's a good feeling."
