"After my first run at this recipe, I too thought they were a little bland so my next several batches I cooked them like I do everything else, with a little this n that added. I mixed some of the red sauce back in with the meat and simmer as some reviewers did, and also added more garlic and peppers and used garlic salt in the masa mix instead of ..."
"YUM! Nothing more needs to be said!"
"These were WONDERFUL when I made them two years ago, and I still hear about them from my grandma who is HOARDING her last jar!! She has threatened everyone with their lives if they touch them!! She just offered to trade me her famous fresh caught WA coast tuna for another batch of them from our garden!! Sounds like a great trade except now hubb..."
"I ended up a little short in the final yeild, but that may have had something to do with my hubby shoveling it out of the pot with tortilla chips while I tried to get it into jars!! I didn't have tom. paste, so added two 12 oz jars of tomato sauce, 'guesstimated' the spices and consistency was perfect for us. Thanks for another great way to put..."
"I made this a few years ago and forgot to say YUUUUMMMMM! I had no problems, and just came back to rate it after making it again this year. Pretty rose color to it, and it was well received in Christmas baskets last time I made it."
"OH YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMI never remember to rate recipes but after my fam and I GORGED ourselves I waddled back to the computer to say WOW. SOOO much better than what they try to sell you in the stores!"
"Yum! Very authentic in taste and texture, unlike some of the commercialized fair booth stuff. My original plan was make half with sugar sprinkled on it for desert, but it was so good, they were inhaled and I had to make batch #2 for sugar. I put a little in the batter on the second batch, and it was just enough of a treat!"

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 Boxie!
Facts about Boxie
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: White
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Boxie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Boxie is a gorgeous, pure white, blue-eyed sweetheart. She was dumped in the parking lot of Animal Care Services in San Antonio in a giant microwave oven box, hence the name. I happened to be at ACS when she was brought in, and was so sad to see this terrified baby covered in sores all over her ears and fleas. I put a hold on her immediately so that she wouldn't be euthanized. At first we thought she had mange, but it turned out... to be horrible ear mites. She had scratched her ears and face bloody. She also has mild ringworm that we are treating.
Once Boxie got home with me, she came out of her shell super fast and is now a ball of purrs and love.
She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and FIV/FeLV neg. She is about 5 months old.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Boxie, a San Antonio Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Creation/Evolution, Heaven
Are there references to the New Earth in the Old Testament Prophets? (audio)
Randy Alcorn answers the question,"Are there references to the New Earth in the Old Testament Prophets?"
Randy Alcorn answers the question,"Are there references to the New Earth in the Old Testament Prophets?"
Randy Alcorn answers the question, 'Why did God save the animals from the flood?"
Please explain your interchangeable use of the Hebrew words bara (create from nothing) and asah (restore) in Chapter 9 of Heaven. With the distinction blurred, what does that do to the doctrines of origin?
And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens." So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. (Genesis 1:20-23)
Books and Resources that Mostly Assume an Old Earth
In the article "Ten Major Flaws of Evolution" you argue that "spontaneous generation" and "chemical evolution" are one in the same, however is DNA not made of the same basic "non-living" elements such as oxygen and phospherous, that you claim could not have "evolved" into living material? How can you state that macro-evolution does not exist, when you have also stated that micro-evolution does exist and has been observed? Would the first not be directly related to the latter?
You asked about the relationship of "micro-evolution" to "macro-evolution." As you may be aware, there are several different competing evolutionary models ...
There are some things for which words cannot do justice—sights, smells, and sounds that make the heart come alive, that renew our passions, and that whisper to us of the presence of a good God.
You asked about the use of the Hebrew word for day—yom. First, let's go back and list a few hermeneutical principles.
Eugene Peterson captures the universal implications of Christ's redemption when he paraphrases Colossians 1:18-20 in The Message: "He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms-get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross."
First let me say that many sincere people believe in the Bible and also believe in an old earth. They do this via the gap theory or day age theory or some other means of interpretation.
Secondly, let me say that I am not certain about the age of the universe, the age of the earth, or when the first humans walked the earth. I have read very persuasive scientific arguments for an old earth, and have read some counterarguments that may have merit. I don't feel qualified scientifically to make the judgment.

In "Virtue Ethics," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth write short stories about virtues.
Tell the group that in the 1990s William Bennett, a conservative politician, wrote a book called The Book of Virtues. It was a bestseller, but not without controversy. Bennett seemed to blame our country's problems on a lack of true, old-fashioned virtues. The tone of the book is conservative and preachy. His view is very simplistic.
[If you have the book, invite a volunteer to read a story. Then, ask the group if they believe good manners are important. Most will say yes. If you have used a passage from The Book of Virtues, ask if the youth liked the story, and why or why not.
Although we might say some virtues are timeless, stories are not always so. It matters not only what you are trying to communicate, but how you communicate it.
Ask the group if they could think of stories that effectively illustrate how important virtues are today. Invite each participant to think of a virtue and a story that demonstrates it. Show them the binder and explain they will make a collection of stories: "A Little UU Book of Virtues." Their story can be fiction or non-fiction. They can retell a story from one of the workshops. They may use virtues not covered in the workshops. If they prefer, they can work in pairs. Write the story and include at least one illustration.
Distribute paper and writing/drawing implements.
Give participants at least 30 minutes. Then, re-gather the group and have volunteers share stories.
Collect the stories and invite youth to (1) illustrate a front cover, (2) make a Table of Contents, (3) create a blurb for the back cover, and (4) come up with ideas for sharing the book with the wider congregation.

Lend us your ears
For brands that want to be more than mere online shops, maintaining a consistent editorial voice is paramount. The arch, worldly tone of the Bureau's editorial -- "more John Cleese than Gawker" -- is "the reason we were able to raise any money at all," Moskowitz says. (The Bureau raised $1.2 million in seed money in September 2012 from Foundation Capital and others.) "They want this voice. That's what people had a visceral reaction to."
As for how he arrived at the proper tone for the Bureau's emails and other editorial, says Moskowitz, "I wanted a buttoned-up sense of Fifties formality, because that's what helps jokes land." Case in point: a racy video, made in partnership with Esquire for the Bureau's Japan Rising collection, which explains shibori, the ancient Japanese art of dying fabric. In the video, a dominatrix stuffs a shibori cotton pocket square into a client's mouth to silence him. It's an image not soon forgotten.
Zady founders Maxine Bédat, 31, and Soraya Darabi, 30, say their editorial voice aims to be "an authentic voice for our generation." Zady launched with an eye toward rescuing people from the soullessness of fast fashion, and its founders' own sense of the zeitgeist is what determines the editorial content. The retailer produces two types of stories: brand stories, which Bédat says are fundamental to the company's mission, and standalone features. The former are based on interviews that Bédat and Darabi conduct with every brand they sell, dissecting what makes them special. The latter have no direct connection to the products Zady sells.
One feature is an interview with a New York Times photo editor who produced a Kickstarter-funded documentary about horse-rearing customs in Iceland. It seems a strange thing to find on a fashion retailer's website. "We think that the kind of customer who likes a story about denim made in North Carolina will also like a story about a beautiful documentary about wild horses in Iceland," Bédat says. She admits it's a hunch. "Time will tell us if that's true or not." For now, they can afford to experiment; Zady received $1.35 million in October 2012 from New Enterprise Associates and others.
Where Frank & Oak is building a dedicated editorial team, Zady is using serious freelance journalists to create its content. A feature on work-life integration -- as opposed to the impossible ideal of work-life balance -- carries the byline of Melissa Wall, the founding editor of Newsweek's iPad edition. "We're trying to define where we are culturally," Bédat says of the feature's subject matter. "So far, our intuition seems to be on point."
A shopping community
"You're essentially trying to build a community of like-minded individuals around your brand," Thoreson says of such efforts. Admittedly, the ROI picture is "murkier" with content that isn't tied to products, but such editorial is "no less powerful" as a branding tool, he says.
Since Frank & Oak's founding in February 2012, 800,000 people have signed up for its members-only site, with the majority of customers living in the U.S., Song says. And many who have downloaded the Frank & Oak mobile app access the app every day. As Song sees it, that represents a major shift in how brands are built and how consumers interact with products. "You'd never walk into a store every day," he points out.
Fashion and style magazines, as Moskowitz is quick to note, have always excelled at narrative -- and at the related art of cultivating desire. To hear him tell it, online retailers now have the chance to be like magazines, only better, because they can indulge the impulse to buy. "GQ isn't shoppable," he says. "Esquire isn't shoppable."
But producing editorial content that rivals the output of top magazines -- the standard to which Gilt aspires -- is no easy feat. "People forget that to do this well you need to have the right team and you need to carve out the right ecosystem within a business that isn't necessarily set up to do editorial," says Thoreson. "If you just treat it as some sort of commodity, you're likely not going to succeed here."
But with U.S. online retail sales expected to grow to $262 billion this year from $231 billion in 2012, it's worth doing what it takes to claim a bigger slice of the ecommerce pie. And already this kind of content is becoming expected for companies who want to stand out. Over the past three years, he says, a commitment to quality editorial "has gone from something that's a novelty [for ecommerce brands] to something that's an essential."
But however important content marketing is for online retailers now, it is as merchants, not publishers, that Bureau of Trade and other new-wave companies will ultimately succeed or fail. The women behind Zady understand this. "At the end of the day, Zady is a wonderful and beautiful ecommerce site," Darabi says.

Reversed Current, DC Motor Brushes
Name: Thomas Status: Other Grade: Other Location: NJ Country: United States Date: Fall 2009
What is the effect on DC motor brushes if the motor is hooked to opposite polarity on power supply?
Hi Thomas
I am not exactly sure what kind of effect you had in mind. If we are just looking at mechanical performance, reversing the direction of the motor will probably cause a different wear pattern on the brushes. This may result in some noise, both mechanical and electrical, until the wear pattern becomes stable.
Bob Froehlich
I do not think there is any detrimental effect, if that is what you are thinking about. At least with mechanical motor brushes I would expect none. Typically the positive and negative brushes are built exactly the same, graphite intercalated with copper or silver, spring-pressed against the smooth copper-alloy commutator contacts. There are two, one always gets (+) and the other always gets (-). So it would not have any particular effect to reverse the voltage.
It is possible, especially in the case of bare-wire brushes in tiny motors, that one brush erodes faster than the other because their disconnection arcs have differing polarity. But I do not think that one has been made larger than the other to compensate, so for wire brushes too you'd be free to reverse the voltage.
It is a time-honored thing to do with DC motors too, making them go backwards by reversing the voltage drive. I suspect motor manufacturers would be reluctant to make a motor that does not work well from reverse voltage, because there is usually a fair number of customers who will use the motor that way.
Not so with brushless motors and electronic commutation, so far. Typically there are IC's and transistors which, if given reversed supply voltage, will not function and will almost certainly be damaged For these motors the rotation is reversed by telling the electronics to reverse the sequence of positive and negative voltages that they apply to the 3 or more motor-coil terminals. But the supply feeding the IC always keeps its original polarity. If you have a brushless DC motor with electronics built-in (fairly common for scooters), then there will be two big wires Red and Black for the motor power, and a few small control-circuit wires. One of those takes 0v or 5v signal and controls the direction of revolution, and another controls the motor-speed or how much current the motor is given.
Some small DC fans for computers have brushless DC motors with electronics inside. They have (+),(-), and maybe one more wire to control the speed. They never need to reverse, so the electronics were made without that ability. Reversing the voltage will only try to burn them out.
Jim Swenson
Hi Thomas,
The brushes of any DC motor will not themselves be affected, no matter which way the polarity of connected to the motor.
However, different types of DC motors will react differently depending on which way the polarity is connected. Here is a summary of what will occur:
1. Series-wound motors. These motors have the field coil connected internally in series with the armature. This means that current flows first through the armature (via the brushes), then through the field coil. With these series-wound motors, reversing the polarity will not make the motor reverse direction. The polarity can be connected either way and the motor will operate the same.
2. Shunt-wound motors. These motors have the field coil connected in parallel with the armature (that is, in parallel with the brushes). These motors also do not reverse direction when polarity is reversed.
3. Permanent magnet field motors. With a these motors, a permanent magnet is used to replace the field coil. DC power is connected via the brushes, to the armature only. Reversing the polarity, will cause the motor to reverse its direction of rotation. It is very common to use a switch to intentionally reverse to the polarity, to allow reversal of the motor if desired.
Hope this answers your question.

If you don't go... you'll never know.
Went out Wednesday and Thursday after the storm. Epic conditions and private break since the National Guard was only letting local residents in.
Great to hear some positives. I'm guessing no issues with debris either? Hopefully people will be happy to see people surfing, a glimpse of what life was like before.
Don't surf - use your energy to help out some neighbors in need. There are plenty of people that need it - especially up here in the NY/NJ area.
is it true that non-union workers got turned away???
Lol - no, any and all hands are needed here. It's tough to get into Long Beach, NY as they are only letting residents in, but go to any community in Rockaway, Southern Brooklyn, or Staten Island that needs help and volunteer your services. I'm sure they will gladly accept whether you're part of the "brotherhood" or not.
I would imagine the same goes for NJ and even parts of Ocean City, MD.
I heard that one too...talk radio over the weekend.
Looks like that rumor was not true
i tried to volunteer around monmouth county and they said they couldn't take anyone at this point. i'd assume it was because of potential liability issues. you can't just throw a bunch of people into a disaster area that are all gung-ho to help - they can easily get themselves hurt or killed.
i've heard conflicting reports and saw some nasty video of local union guys giving the visiting workers a really bad time.

4-Cuts Policy = Crime Against Humanity
Arbitrary killings and shooting on sight, which have been frequently committed by roaming Burmese army troops against unarmed, and often unidentified, civilians in Shan State over the last 4-5 decades, have continued unabated up to 2011.
Even after the national elections and the forming of what they claimed to be democratic civilian government, in April this year, a man, who later turned out to be an innocent village headman, was shot on sight by a patrol of Burmese army troops just because they thought he was a Shan rebel.
Various other types of gross human rights violations, e.g., rape, arbitrary arrest, detention, torture and forced labour, etc., which have also been frequent occurrences in Shan State for decades, as have been reported in this monthly newsletter for more than a decade, have also continued unabated.
Although many of these violations have taken place at different places and times, as if they were unrelated individual cases, most of them have been committed actually as part of a widespread and systematic attack directed against the civilian populations.
The troops intended and knew that their conducts were part of the overall attack, known as 4-cuts policy of the Burmese military, to prevent the civilian populations from giving any help and support to the Shan resistance.
In early 2011, 2 villagers of Naa Kawng Mu village in Murng Haang village tract in Murng-Ton township were arrested, detained and interrogated, and finally shot dead by the Burmese army troops of IB65, at a place east of Naa Kawng Mu village.
On 8 January 2011, a patrol of about 15 Burmese army troops from IB65 came to patrol the areas east of Naa Kawng Mu village along the Nam Haang stream in Murng-Haang village tract in Murng-Ton township.
On the same day, 2 men villagers of Naa Kawng Mu village also went to collect wild vegetables, to mix with the food for their pigs, along the same Nam Haang stream and at one point were seen by the Burmese army patrol.
The Burmese soldiers accused the villagers of secretly working for the Shan resistance and arrested them, took them back to the military camp at Naa Kawng Mu village and interrogated them, beating and torturing them for hours.
The villagers were detained in the camp until the next morning, on 9 January 2011, and were forced to go with the same military patrol to search the same areas where they had been the day before. The 2 villagers were believed to have been shot dead by the troops on that day because they have disappeared since then.
The 2 villagers were Ai Ko, aged 32 and Ai Ja Sae, aged 30. Although they were ethnically Burman and Lahu respectively, they had lived among Shan villagers at Naa Kawng Mu village since their childhood. Both of them happened to be opium addicts at the time of the incident.
The Burmese troops said that the 2 villagers had run away during the patrol, when asked by other villagers. But they brought a photograph of a dead man whom they claimed to be a Shan soldier killed during a gun battle.
For many villagers, however, the man in the photo was none other than Ai Ja Sae, and certainly not a Shan soldier, the Lahu villager who was one of the 2 villagers arrested by the Burmese troops earlier, although a pistol had been thrust into one of his hands as he lay dead in a pool of blood.
In March 2011, a 12-year-old girl was raped and beaten up until she lost consciousness by a Burmese army soldier from LIB516, in a pineapple farm some distance northwest of Mong Mon village in Mong Mon village tract in Nam-Zarng township.
On 20 March 2011, Naang Mya (not her real name), aged 12, of Mong Mon village in Mong Mon village tract in Nam-Zarng township, was alone in their pineapple farm northwest of the village when a Burmese army soldier came into the farm.
The soldier was alone and carrying no arms, and was wearing Burmese traditional sarong and military uniform shirt with Burmese army insignia and unit number attached to it. When he saw Naang Mya sitting alone on a stilted farm hut, the soldier dragged her down to the ground and raped her.
When the soldier pulled off her clothes and started to rape her, Naang Mya managed to call out for help a few times before she was severely beaten with a stick on the head and face several times and lost consciousness.
At that time, 3 villagers from Mong Mon village happened to be driving their motorcycles and passing by near the pineapple farm. They thought they heard some faint noises from the direction of the farm and decided to go and see, leaving their motorcycles outside the farm.
When the soldier saw the villagers, he quickly ran away and escaped. The villagers saw Naang Mya lying on the ground, naked and unconscious, with bruises and blood all over her head and face. Naang Mya's parents were informed and they immediately took her to the township hospital in Nam-Zarng town.
Naang Mya's relatives also went to the SPDC township office and told the authorities about the plight of their daughter. The authorities immediately called the commander of LIB516 by phone to inquire about the matter.
According to the authorities, the commander said that according to the description it looked like it was a deserter that had recently deserted from the army. That deserter would be punished and put in jail when captured, he said.
In April 2011, the headman of Paang Haang village in Kali village tract in Kun-Hing township was randomly shot at by a patrol of Burmese army troops from IB296 near his village, causing him to flee and disappear, and his fate was not yet known at the time this report was received.
On 12 April 2011, a patrol of about 90 Burmese army troops from IB296, based in Murng-Paeng, came to patrol the areas of Kali village tract in Kun-Hing township and stopped for a rest near Paang Haang village.
At about the same time, the headman of Paang Haang village, Zin-Ta, aged 45, rode his bicycle out of his village with the intention to visit Kali village, without knowing that the Burmese troops were bivouacking near his village.
When the headman got near the rice field outside the village, the Burmese troops saw him from afar and, without warning, one of them shot at him many times. The headman immediately jumped down from his bicycle and ran into a nearby forest and disappeared.
The Burmese troops then came into Paang Haang village and accused the villagers of harbouring Shan soldiers in their village. The villagers then said that there were no Shan soldiers in the village and the one they had just shot at was only their village headman who was going to Kali on his bicycle.
The Burmese troops then continued their patrol toward Kaeng Lom village tract in Kun-Hing township and said nothing more about the incident. Some time after the troops left, the villagers went to look for their village headman, starting from the place where he was shot.
The villagers saw his abandoned bicycle and some drops of blood leading into the nearby forest, indicating that the headman was wounded. But after following the blood trail for some distance, it disappeared and they lost track of him.
Even after 3 days of searching, the villagers could not find their headman, dead or alive. The fate of the headman was not yet known after several weeks when this report was received by an SHRF field worker in May 2011.
During late 2010, Naang Pao (not her real name) was suspected of working for the Shan resistance and arrested, tortured and detained by the Burmese military authorities of IB277 and the police force in Murng-Ton town, Murng-Ton township.
Naang Pao, originally from Mawk Zali village in Me ken village tract, Murng-Ton township, was the owner of a house-shop at the new market place in Murng-Ton town, and she was selling goods and living there at the time of the incident.
On 20 November 2010, Naang Pao was accused of being an informant of the Shan resistance and arrested by the Burmese army troops form IB277 at her house-shop and taken to the base of the Tactical Command of the Burmese military in Murng-Ton.
Naang Pao was interrogated by the Burmese troops who wanted to know about secret activities of the Shan soldiers in Murng-Ton town, people they used to often contact and places they used to visit. She was tortured during interrogation in various ways including electric shocks.
After some hours of interrogation, Naang Pao was taken to the police station and detained there. During the nights, every night for 15 nights, however, she was taken to the Tactical Command base to be interrogated and detained at the police station during the days.
According to her relatives, Naang Pao used to often travel back to her native village of Mawk Zali to visit them. Because of that, the Burmese military authorities might have suspected her of working for the Shan resistance, which in fact was not, the said.
Naang Pao's relatives also learned from the police at the station where she was detained that she would not be executed as they feared, but would probably be released sometime later. However, when this report was received at the end of 2010, she was still in police custody.
In March 2011, villagers of Wan Phaai in Kaeng Lom village tract in Kun-Hing township were arrested, detained, tortured and forced to porter by the Burmese army troops from IB296 based in Murng-Paeng township.
Sometime in late March 2011, a patrol of about 50 Burmese army troops from Murng-Paeng-based IB296 came to search the area of Kaeng Lom village tract in Kun-Hing township and at one point came into Wan Phaai village.
The Burmese troops arrested 3 villagers in Wan Phaai village for questioning. They said they saw 2 men with white shirts run away as they entered the village and wanted to know about them, and interrogated the 3 villagers.
The 3 villagers were all men; 2 ordinary villagers, Lung Thun and Wi Ling, and a village leader, Taa Kyaw. The Burmese troops interrogated them for some time and released Lung Thun and Wi Ling, but continued to detain Taa Kyaw.
The Burmese troops then took Taa Kyaw, the village leader, into a villager's barn and continued to interrogate and torture him. They tied his hands and dangled him from a beam of the barn and beat and kicked him, and put a plastic bag over his head. They kept torturing him until he lost consciousness several times.
After that he was let down and detained for 2 more days, with his hands still bound. When the troops left the village, they forced him to carry their things and go with them until Naa Ti village in the same village tract, before finally releasing him.
In early 2011, villagers in several village tracts in Murng-Pan township were randomly beaten by the Burmese army troops from LIB332, LIB577 and LIB575 during their patrols of rural village tracts west and north of Murng-Pan town.
For 3 days around mid January 2011, Burmese soldiers from LIB332, LIB577 and LIB575 patrolled and searched the areas of Nam Terng and Naa Law village tracts on the western side of Murng-Pan town.
During the patrols, the Burmese troops randomly interrogated many villagers and beat up those who could not give them satisfactory enough answers. Several villagers had been beaten up with sticks and some of them sustained severe pains and injuries.
Among those who had been beaten up with sticks were Lung Ing-Da (m), aged 49, of Nam Terng village in Nam Terng village tract, and his overnight guest, Wa-Lin (m), age unknown, who had come from Naa Khaan village to visit him.
Another one was Zaai Pan (m), aged 37, of Wan Kung village in Nam Terng village tract, and he was also severely beaten up with sticks. All the said 3 villagers sustained serious injuries from the beating, which took weeks to heal.
It was also learned that, after 3 days of patrolling west of the town, the Burmese troops continued to patrol the areas north of the town and beat up several people, including villagers of Long Kaeng village.
In February 2011, a villager of Khur Nim village in Naa Poi village tract in Lai-Kha township was beaten and forced to serve as a porter by the Burmese army troops from IB64 who also shot and stole 2 villagers' cows.
On 18 February 2011, a patrol of about 47 Burmese army troops from IB 64 came to Khur Nim village in Naa Poi village tract in Lai-Kha township and arrested a man named Saw-Nan-Ti, aged 55, who was a villager of Khur Nim village.
The Burmese troops accused Saw-Nan-Ti of secretly collecting information for the Shan resistance and interrogated him. When he could not answer their questions, they beat him with a stick several times and struck and slapped his face until it was swollen all over.
After a while, when they left Khur Nim village, the Burmese troops forced Saw-Nan-Ti to carry their things and go with them as an unpaid porter until they got back to their base in Lai-Kha town, where they released him.
On their way before they reached Lai-Kha town, when they got near Paa Moi village in Naa Poi village tract, the Burmese troops saw a herd of cows belonging to Paa Moi villagers. They shot dead 2 cows, cut up all the meat and took it away with them.
In late 2010, more restrictions were imposed on the people in Pung Pa Khem sub-township and Me Ken village tract, in Murng-Ton township, by the Burmese military authorities, and cattle were let into villagers' farms by the Burmese troops during the nights to destroy the crops.
On 18 October 2010, an order was issued by the military authorities of IB65 to many villages in Pung Pa Khem and Me Ken village tracts, restricting the movements of the villagers who already had many difficulties in doing their daily chores.
The order required the villagers to build bamboo fences around every house in their villages so that no one could easily cross from house to house. It also imposed a dust to dawn curfew, saying that from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, no one should go out on the streets or visit other houses in their villages.
Villagers who needed to go out of their villages to tend their fields and farms during day time were also required to ask permission from the military authorities on a daily basis. Failing to do so could mean heavy punishment, said the order.
At some villages, as at Mawk Zali village in Me Ken village tract, the Burmese troops patrolling at night often pulled off some bamboo pickets from the fences enclosing villagers' fields and farms to make holes and let roaming cattle in to destroy the crops.
These restrictions were imposed after the Burmese troops accused the villagers of supporting the Shan resistance. They said that these villages often let the Shan soldiers secretly come into them to collect rice, money and information.
The villagers also supported the Shan resistance with new recruits, accused the Burmese troops. When they were told by the Shan soldiers to send their sons to serve in the Shan resistance, some villagers reported it to the Burmese army, but they secretly told the Shan soldiers to come and take the recruits themselves, they said.
In that way the villagers thought they would not be blamed, said the Burmese troops. They also warned the villagers that those who willingly sent their sons to serve in the Shan resistance would have to either run away with them or face heavy punishment.
In late 2010, sesame farmers of Hawng Lin and Phaai Khe villages in Phaai Khe village tract in Murng-Ton township suffered great losses because of the restrictions of movements imposed by the Burmese troops of IB225 and IB277.
For many days in September 2010, villagers of several villages in Phaai Khe village tract in Murng-Ton township were restricted from going out of their villages by patrols of Burmese troops from IB225 and IB277, surrounding the villages.
The Burmese troops suspected that the villagers were harbouring Shan soldiers. They guarded all the entrances and allowed no one to go out of the villages while they looked for the Shan soldiers in and around the villages.
It was sesame harvest time and many sesame farms were ready for harvesting when the restrictions were imposed. Some farmers needed to immediately cut their sesame plants and some had already cut and dried them, ready to be threshed and the sesame collected.
If harvesting was not done in time, the ripe sesame pots would burst and throw the sesame seeds all over the place, and that was actually what had happened to many of the sesame farmers in the said areas.
When the villagers were finally allowed to go out to their sesame farms around mid September 2010, many sesame plants had already rid themselves of their seeds. Farmers of Hawng Lin and Phaai Khe villages were said to have lost most of their produce.
When the Burmese military authorities learned about it, they told the villagers that it was not their soldiers' fault, but because of the Shan soldiers that the villagers had to lose their farm produce which they had worked hard to produce.
For over a decade, since the Burmese military started to expand their presence in Kaeng Tawng area in Murng-Nai township, local indigenous farmers have had to face more and more difficulties to continue to work their rice fields as a traditional livelihood.
During the mass forced relocations in central Shan State in 1996-97, carried out by the then SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council) troops, most farmers in Kaeng Tawng area had been forced to abandon their rice fields and move to different places.
However, after some years, many of them have been allowed to return to their old villages, at least temporarily, and work their original rice fields which had not been already confiscated by the Burmese military troops and their families during their absence.
During the last decade or so, according to their militarization policy, the Burmese military have set up several battalion bases in Kaeng Tawng area. In doing so, they have designated large areas of land at different places to build those military bases.
Those land areas, usually covering many acres of rice fields, farms, gardens and wood lands, etc., belonging to the local indigenous populations for generations, have been confiscated with no compensation whatsoever.
Even after the setting up of the military battalions, the Burmese military have continued to forcibly take many lands belonging to the local populations in the surrounding areas of their battalion bases to be used to generate income for their battalions, or simply for security reasons.
Many rice fields which were not in the vicinity of any military battalion, but near the villages and good water sources, have also been confiscated for the troops or their families, which have continued to come and settle in the area every year, to work.
In addition to many other difficulties, local farmers now have problems getting enough water for their rice fields for the duration of rice cultivating time, because many water sources have been in the hands of the Burmese troops and their families, who have little sympathy towards indigenous populations.
In 2011, Kaeng Tawng area, which had traditionally exported rice to other areas in the past, has been facing a scarcity of rice which could be obtained only at a very high price. During March 2011, local people said they had to pay 9,000 kyat for a half-basket of rice and the price was still rising. Up until last year, the price had only been 5,000-6,000 kyat at most, they said.

Cause they definitely don't know what they are talking about.
From Ford's own information system;
The 97-2003 Escort with the 2.0L DOHC is an interferance engine.
The 97 Escort with 2.0L SOHC is not interferance.
Timing belt referance for Fords. -
terrapin24h Posts: 3so the 2.0l dohc engine is an interference engine? Unless im mistaken, isn't that the Zetec from the contour? I know of a couple people that have had t belts go on them with no damage at all. I suppose all that matters is that the 2.0 split port engine that is in my car is non interference
--chris -
terrapin24h Posts: 3
0patience Posts: 1,542Not sure. Looking over the info, the engine setups look different. Ford doesn't show whether or not it is interference for the Contour.
Or not that I could locate. But my time was limited on their system, so I may have to look again later.
Alldata and Mitchell both show the engine as interference. So I am left scratching my head to confirm this. -
ccoach Posts: 6I have the Popular Mechanics auto repair manual on cd, which includes the alldata TSB database. I'm a little disappointed with the quality of the servicing material - not on par with Chilton's. It's my impression the content basically all came from AllData(?)
Anyone have an opinion re the AllDataDIY online content? -
0patience Posts: 1,542Hmm, understand that the PM disk is a discontinued, for the consumer, not the professional, information disk.
That being said, the AlldataDIY subscription is the same information system that the professional shop uses, just that it is only for one vehicle.
The mechanics I deal with, alot of them think that the AlldataDIY subscription is the best value out there right now.
You see, Alldata uses the information direct from the manufacturer for the professional information systems. The AlldataDIY is the same information as the pro version, the TSB and recall information is updated quarterly instead of daily, with the DIY version. -
bburton1 Posts: 395I replaced a timing belt on a previous accord several years ago, looked at a non OEM belt-wanted to save a few bucks-first of all it was kinked into a small box-not supposed to do that it will/can break cords and it did not look even similiar to accord belts-looked thinner.
If u want to save a few bucks, buy a honda tb on line-about 25% saving vs dealer -
yaman Posts: 113My local mechanic suggests that I change the timing belt and water pump on my 92 Chrysler Lebaron.He gave me an estimate of apprx $450 for the job.Main cost is labor at 3.5 hours at 64 an hour.Is this a reasonable charge?
Second, the car has 130,000 miles on it and I don't think I have ever changed the timing belt so i guess it certainly needs to be done.But if I let it go and the belt goes will it cause a lot of damage to the car?
I read somewhere that certain types of timing belts don't cause damage when they go bad.
Considering the age of the car,I don't feel like putiing much money into it. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,197Well you either put money into an old car or it stops, right?
I understand most people's position when they own older cars. The idea is "If something breaks, I'll fix it, otherwise, I'll leave it alone".
Okay, a sort of attrition policy. Nothing wrong with that, except....except...there is the risk that when that 'something' does break, that something is going to a) leave you stranded some place you don't wanna be and/or b) break other things, too, causing the car to be basically worthless (read: junk it).
I myself prefer a very reliable car, and I think 130K on any part of a Chrysler LeBaron is already a gift from God.
I think the dealer's estimates are reasonable, yes.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695It doesn't cost an engine on the '95 V-6 in the camry and ES...it will just cost an inopportune stalling and stranding.
I think everyone goes 90K on these belts - later on, Toyota went to 90K for the standard replacement interval on the same belt, and same engine.2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)

I'm so sorry you lost your pet. :( Is it possible she had worms? Losing weight mysteriously, without indications of suffering from any specific disease or ailment is referred to as 'going light'. It does happen sometimes. There are many things that could have happened to her, from something she ate that was toxic, to Coccidiosis, to proventriculitis (an obstruction in her digestive tract) to tumors-- there would be no way to tell short of an x-ray and visit to the vet. The purple comb could indicate poor circulation (was it shrunken as well?), which again could be caused by a number of things, including worms. Do you have any other chickens? If so, if at all possible you should check the dead hens' poops for worms. If you see worms in her poop you need to worm the rest of your flock ASAP. I've got more on my chicken info site here, it might help you narrow down what happened. http://home.earthlink.net/~velvetsparrow/VSChickHealth.htm Velvet ~:> |
what about mites? My rooster died this way too..then I found out he was infested with mites an he became anemic. I treated the rest,but he didn't make it :( |
- Posted by velvet_sparrow z10 So. Calif. (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 07 at 13:58
beeliz, mites can cause this, also, but usually a healthy bird can preen itself and keep mites under control--if the bird is suffering from another ailment (or old age) however, mites are opportunistic little beasts and can quickly turn the tables on the bird and overwhelm it--illness or other parasites are a perfect gateway for mites. :( Mite outbreaks on their own certainly aren't unheard of, but a lot of times they are a symptom of a larger problem. Depends on the type of bird as well--I have to keep a closer eye on my feather footed cochins and the Polish girls' head poofs for mites, those areas are more difficult for the bird to preen effectively.

I have six hens..about 3 mo...I let them roam in an enclosed fence area..It is not too high and I think maybe one of them jumped the fence..it was late and the five other hens were already inside...My wife and I searched with flashlights for about a half an hour to no avail..In the morning she was back in the enclosure clucking like nothing had happened. Where could she have gone.? I thought for sure she would be night food..I live in the woods..I am getting a higher fence today....lol. |

Our nectarine tree is loaded with nectarines but they are still hard and some have rotted and remain on the branch and some really moldy ones have dropped. I can't find any that are ready to eat but have eaten some unripe ones that are delicious but just not ripe enough. It seems they're either unripe or rotten. Anyone know what's up? BTW, the tree is about 13 years old and we had no fruit last year but prior years, the fruit would go mushy even a day after picking them. |

Look up brown rot of stone fruits. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 9, 10 at 5:56
Injured fruit ripens first- sometimes from coddling moth which can leave quite a bit of edible flesh but some rot in the center. There's always going to be some wounded fruit from something. If most of the fruit remains sound I wouldn't worry about it but pick off any fruit that shows rot so it doesn't spread- although in S. CA that may not be much of a threat. |
Jean, I think it may be brown rot. The tree was not taken care of when we moved in. It had terrible pruning of large branches so I'm grateful for any fruit at all, really. As I said, the fruit tastes good so I'm going to pick some and see if they will ripen a bit in a brown bag. Thanks for both the responses. And yes, harvestman, there seems to be always something attacking the weak! |

WelcomeThe Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) is dedicated to providing compassionate, skilled and state of the art medical care. As a nationally recognized medical center, we continue to experience unprecedented growth and expansion in both the clinical and academic arenas. Our primary mission is to provide helpful and considerate patient care. We also aim to educate and produce highly qualified, ethical and caring future neurosurgeons. Additionally, we strive to advance the field of neurosciences by performing outstanding research. Mission Statement
Featured Stories Neurosurgery Holiday Celebration 2014 Neurosurgery Admin Neurosurgery Admin Leaders have a destiny to fulfill and visualize their future achievement. David F. Jimenez, MD, FACS, professor and chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery and physician with UT Medicine San Antonio, showed this ability at a very young age. "For kindergarten graduation, the teachers told our parents to ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up, and whatever that was, to dress us up as that," Dr. Jimenez says. "So my mom came to me, and I said I wanted to be a doctor. My mom borrowed my pediatrician's stethoscope and, being a great seamstress, made an outfit that included a doctor's white coat and a surgeon's cap and mask. So I went to this graduation ceremony, and a doctor is who I was." Second Annual Skeet ShootNeurosurgery Admin The Department of Neurosurgery celebrated our second annual skeet shoot on Saturday, October 4th. We also hosted a reception welcoming our newest resident members: Drs. Clay Samples and Dewey Thoms. The tournament was a fun way for everyone to compete by showing off their shooting skills. First place went to Dr. Byron Branch (who performed admirably). Second place went to Dr. David Jimenez (who would have won first place had Dr. Branch not shown up). Third place went to Dr. Bradley Dengler (who narrowly edged out his wife in a tie-breaking, sudden-death shoot off). Congratulations to the winners and everyone else who participated this year, especially our new residents, Dr. Samples and Dr. Thoms. The next shoot is scheduled for October 2015. Dr. Michael McGinity will no doubt try to reclaim the throne from Dr. Branch. Good luck, Dr. McGinity! |

It looks great, how did you reface the cabinets? |
- Posted by thespudhunter (My Page) on Sun, Aug 16, 09 at 20:11
Palimpsest, for the cabinet sides, I used Rigid Thermofoil (RTF) coated plywood panels, glued over the existing cabinets. The doors and drawers are thermofoil coated MDF. Doors, drawers, and panels were all obtained from refacedepot.com. They pre-drilled the doors for the hidden hinges, and I reused my existing hardware. For the face frames, we toyed with the idea of refacing with either veneer or RTF, but settled on painting the frames a velvet black. We also lengthened the upper cabinet doors to the full height of the cabinets, so only the sides of the frames and stiles would show. We think it makes a nice contrast with the maple/pear surfaces. If I had room in the budget, I would have gone with solid wood rather than RTF, but all of the doors, drawers, and panels together were less than $700. At that price, if they peel or get discolored, it's easy enough to replace them. |

Well done! It looks like a completely different kitchen--you must really be enjoying it and feeling great about the low cost! |
Congrats on sticking to your budget despite all of the tempting gorgeous products that are out there! It looks great and will hopefully serve you for many years to come! Like your idea about hinging from the center style above the frig. Definitely makes it easier for us "vertically challenged folks" to access those cabinets! |
Love the colors and the style. Very clean and refreshing. You did an awesome job! |
OMG. We had the same kitchen right down to the floor tiles. I just started my so-called "budget" diy. I'm waiting for new Ikea cabinets to be delivered and have started to look for granite/marble countertops. I live in Westchester, NY and the pricing for this stuff is scary. I only need about 38 sq ft to cover two countertops in a galley kitchen--the cheapest price I could get is $65 per sq. ft. How did you manage to do your diy (including the granite countertops) for $3500? Where did you get your granite? Thanks and nice job on your kitchen. Bebe |
- Posted by thespudhunter (My Page) on Mon, Aug 17, 09 at 9:55
the1bebe, yes, lots of those 'contractor's kitchens' around, especially in our neck of the woods. Our granite is Consentino Sensa. We purchased it at Lowe's, and it was installed by Eastern Surfaces out of Allentown, PA. Price was $49.95 per sq foot, 43 square feet including the 4 inch backsplash, installed, with an additional $250 labor to install the undermount sink (The sink itself was included as part of the promotion). So the installed total for the sink and granite was about $2400. The granite has a 15 year warranty against staining, by the way. The doors, drawers, and panels came from refacedepot.com. Their website has a pretty good pricing calculator, but our total came to about $700 for 18 doors, 9 drawers, and two sheets of RTF coated plywood. With the exception of the counter top installation, we did all of the labor ourselves. We spent an additional $400 or so for the new lighting fixtures, paint, some tile and trim, and a Delta faucet. |

Tell me more about your $50 granite! I live near Allentown and have been shopping for granite - visited elite granite and prestige but both were well above $50. Do you have to go through lowes to get that price? What if you just buy direct from eastern? How did you like their work - it looks like they did a great job. I'm not looking for anything exotic, just a basic black or grey granite. We were considering having refacing done (we have zero diy skills!) Our estimates were way more that $700, although that included labor. How difficult was the installation? We have been leaning towards having the cabinets painted instead because of the cost. I'm in awe that you could got such a beautiful kitchen for such a great price! |

Fantastic Transformation. Tell me more about the Behr Venetian Plaster. Did you like working with it? |
Bravo!! |
- Posted by thespudhunter (My Page) on Mon, Aug 17, 09 at 18:10
Winnipausaukeefan, we didn't try buying it direct from Eastern, so I don't know how they would price it. Lowe's has been running a promo on it at $49.95 plus a free sink for a couple of months, and I think it's still running...only Group "A" colors were included, Caledonia, Luna Pearl, Ubatuba, and I think Blanco Leblon. The pricing included installation, a single bowl 18 gauge undermount sink (installation of that at an extra charge) and two holes drilled for faucets. They sent someone out to measure and template about a week later. Then, a couple of weeks for fabrication. We were offered the opportunity to drive over to Eastern to see and approve the slab, but we declined due to time constraints. They used two crews for the installation, since they had to haul the counter up a steep flight of stairs. Installers did a fine job, very careful about protecting our floors and walls! The counter is seamed in one spot, midpoint of the sink. They carefully color matched an epoxy compound, and worked the seam so it's practically invisible. We had a little issue with the granite backsplash...our existing 4x4 tiles were out of kilter, so the splash wouldn't fit properly all around the perimeter. Rather than tear out an additional row of tiles, they recut the backsplash to a lower height (at their expense) and reinstalled it within a week. We just needed to add a trim strip to cover the areas where there was a gap between the backsplash and the tile. All in all, they did a great job, and we couldn't be more pleased. I don't know if you can get comparable pricing by dealing with Eastern directly. |

Pondbucket, Mrs. Spudhunter is the painter in the family. She loves working with the Behr Venetian Plaster, but she's a little wacky that way :) It's the consistency of marshmallow fluff, and spreads on very easily. You basically put it on in two coats, using a steel painter's trowel, using random strokes. After it dries, you can burnish it by rubbing it with the trowel. It takes a bit of elbow grease, but looks amazing. A clear topcoat is optional. Very durable and easy to clean. It also hides a lot of imperfections, or, as we like to call them, "Builder Features". Unfortunately, it's one of those things that's really hard to photograph well. |
- Posted by thespudhunter (My Page) on Mon, Aug 17, 09 at 18:36
By the way, thanks for all the kind comments! |
- Posted by thespudhunter (My Page) on Mon, Aug 17, 09 at 18:44
Here's a link to the brand of granite we used...Sensa by Cosentino. I think the 15 year stain resistant warranty is a big plus. |

The agitator in home washing machines can and often will cause
damage to hand quilting. It is
recommended that a commercial front loading washer be used. Quilts with crochet
appliqué should never agitate in a washer. The crochet may be pulled loose and
will likely shrink even in cold water. Return Policy You may notice a few stray threads or a small unfinished section. These imperfections do not warrant a return as they can easily be mended or marked down. If you encounter a large stain, large tear, or unfinished section, contact us within 4 days of receiving your shipment. We will send you a pre-numbered return authorization label. Any return without this label will be refused. Care has been taken in the preparation of the images of all our quilts. However, there may be some variation between the actual item color you receive and the image you see at our store. Variations, if noticed, are primarily due to the color settings on individual monitors used to view the images before ordering. The red/blue/green color and tint adjustments can cause this variation from the actual item and the image. When ordering from our store please be aware of this. For this reason, all sales are final, no refunds or exchanges are allowed with the exception of the issue of large stains, large tears, or unfinished sections. |

Added a link to the updated InternationalisationGuidelines and a few other minor edits. Also added this note above, which should help avoid people mis-configuring Foswiki for I18N - already in InstallationWithI18N.
directly in configure
, in 99% of all cases - the correct approach is to set {Site}{Locale}
, which includes the character encoding on the end (e.g. .iso-8859-1
), and also sets the 'locale' needed for other purposes such as WikiWord I18N. The only time you should set the {Site}{Charset}
is to override the character encoding when (1) the locale specifies character encoding X and (2) the web browser will only accept a different spelling of X, e.g. iso8859-9
vs iso-8859-9
or Latin-9
(this is a made-up example only but it can occasionally happen).
