Monolithically integrated mid-infrared sensor using narrow mode operation and temperature feedback
View Description Hide DescriptionA method to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of a monolithically integrated mid-infrared sensor using a distributed feedback laser (DFB) is presented in this paper. The sensor is based on a quantum cascade laser/detector system built from the same epitaxial structure and with the same fabrication approach. The devices are connected via a dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide with a twofold function: it provides high light coupling efficiency and a strong interaction of the light with the environment (e.g., a surrounding fluid). The weakly coupled DFB quantum cascade laser emits narrow mode light with a FWHM of 2 cm−1 at 1586 cm−1. The room temperature laser threshold current density is 3 kA∕cm2 and a pulsed output power of around 200 mW was measured. With the superior laser noise performance, due to narrow mode emission and the compensation of thermal fluctuations, the lower limit of detection was expanded by one order of magnitude to the 10 ppm range.
Mobility enhancement in electric double layer gated n-ZnO ultraviolet photodetector by synergy of gate and illumination: A photo Hall study
View Description Hide DescriptionWe report a large enhancement of the Hall mobility of a ZnO film (channel) by simultaneously application of an ultraviolet illumination along with a gate bias in an electric double layer field effect transistor configuration. The effect arises from a synergy between the illumination and the field effect (FE), leading to large enhancement of the channel conductivity and the photo response. We propose that large carrier density created by the simultaneous presence of the illumination and the FE leads to neutralization of some of the oxygen charged vacancies which in turn reduce potential scattering leading to the enhanced mobility.
Impact of nanomechanical resonances on lasing from electrically pumped quantum dot micropillars
View Description Hide DescriptionWe use a picosecond acoustics technique to modulate the laser output of electrically pumped GaAs/AlAs micropillar lasers with InGaAs quantum dots. The modulation of the emission wavelength takes place on the frequencies of the nanomechanical extensional and breathing (radial) modes of the micropillars. The amplitude of the modulation for various nanomechanical modes is different for every micropillar which is explained by a various elastic contact between the micropillar walls and polymer environment.
Graphene oxide overprints for flexible and transparent electronics
View Description Hide DescriptionThe overprints produced in inkjet technology with graphene oxide dispersion are presented. The graphene oxide ink is developed to be fully compatible with standard industrial printers and polyester substrates. Post-printing chemical reduction procedure is proposed, which leads to the restoration of electrical conductivity without destroying the substrate. The presented results show the outstanding potential of graphene oxide for rapid and cost efficient commercial implementation to production of flexible electronics. Properties of graphene-based electrodes are characterized on the macro- and nano-scale. The observed nano-scale inhomogeneity of overprints' conductivity is found to be essential in the field of future industrial applications.
A pseudo-single-crystalline germanium film for flexible electronics
View Description Hide DescriptionWe demonstrate large-area (∼600 μm), (111)-oriented, and high-crystallinity, i.e., pseudo-single-crystalline, germanium (Ge) films at 275 °C, where the temperature is lower than the softening temperature of a flexible substrate. A modulated gold-induced layer exchange crystallization method with an atomic-layer deposited Al2O3 barrier and amorphous-Ge/Au multilayers is established. From the Raman measurements, we can judge that the crystallinity of the obtained Ge films is higher than those grown by aluminum-induced-crystallization methods. Even on a flexible substrate, the pseudo-single-crystalline Ge films for the circuit with thin-film transistor arrays can be achieved, leading to high-performance flexible electronics based on an inorganic-semiconductor channel.
Transition in electron scattering mechanism in atomic layer deposited Nb:TiO2 thin films
View Description Hide DescriptionWe characterized transport and optical properties of atomic layer deposited Nb:TiO2 thin films on glass substrates. These promising transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials show minimum resistivity of 1.0 × 10−3 Ω cm at 300 K and high transmittance in the visible range. Low-temperature (2–300 K) Hall measurements and the Drude fitting of the Vis-NIR optical spectra indicate a transition in the scattering mechanism from grain boundary scattering to intra-grain scattering with increasing Nb content, thus underlining enhancement of the grain size in the low doping regime as the key for further improved TCO properties.
Probing temperature-driven spin reorientation transition of GdFeCo film by Kerr loops and ferromagnetic resonance
View Description Hide DescriptionThe magnetic anisotropy is of both scientific and technological interest for magneto-optical material GdFeCo film. We characterize the magnetic anisotropy of a 20 nm GdFeCo film from 265 K to 320 K via Kerr loops and ferromagnetic resonance. With increasing temperature, both of the first-order uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and shape anisotropy increase. However, the competition between them causes a temperature-driven spin reorientation transition (SRT) and the effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy decrease from 2.22 × 104 ergs/cm3 (288 K) to −1.56 × 104 ergs/cm3 (317 K). The positive second-order uniaxial magnetic anisotropy determines an easy-cone state as the mediated state during SRT.
Superconducting nanowires by electron-beam-induced deposition
View Description Hide DescriptionSuperconducting nanowires can be fabricated by decomposition of an organometallic gas using a focused beam of Ga ions. However, physical damage and unintentional doping often result from the exposure to the ion beam, motivating the search for a means to achieve similar structures with a beam of electrons instead of ions. This has so far remained an experimental challenge. We report the fabrication of superconducting tungsten nanowires by electron-beam-induced-deposition, with critical temperature of 2.0 K and critical magnetic field of 3.7 T, and compare them with superconducting wires made with ions. This work is an important development for the template-free realization of nanoscale superconducting devices, without the requirement of an ion beam column.
Synthesis and ionic liquid gating of hexagonal WO3 thin films
View Description Hide DescriptionVia thin film deposition techniques, the meta-stable in bulk crystal hexagonal phase of tungsten oxide (hex-WO3) is stabilized as a thin film. The hex-WO3 structure is potentially promising for numerous applications and is related to the structure for superconducting compounds found in WO3. Utilizing ionic liquid gating, carriers were electrostatically induced in the films and an insulator-to-metal transition is observed. These results show that ionic liquid gating is a viable technique to alter the electrical transport properties of WO3.
Electrocaloric effect of metal-insulator transition in VO2
View Description Hide DescriptionThe electrocaloric effect was observed in association with an electric-field induced metal-insulator transition in VO2 using a calorimetric measurement under an applied voltage. For a VO2 plate with a 0.4 mm thickness located in the center of a capacitor-like structure, the metal-insulator transition was manipulated by applying a few volts. The occurrence of a transition in such a thick sample with relatively low voltage indicates that a surface charge accumulation mechanism is effective. The isothermal entropy change reached 94 J kg−1 K−1, while the adiabatic temperature change was calculated as −3.8 K under a voltage change of 0–3 V. The large entropy change is attributed to correlation of the complex freedom among spin, charge, and lattice.
Lead-free Ba0.8Ca0.2(ZrxTi1−x)O3 ceramics with large electrocaloric effect
View Description Hide DescriptionThe electrocaloric effect was investigated in lead-free Zr doped Ba0.8Ca0.2(Zr x Ti1− x )O3 (BCTZ) ceramics synthesized by a conventional sintering process. Room-temperature x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the tetragonal structure is obtained in BCTZ for x 0.08 and a pseudo cubic phase for x > 0.08. The dielectric spectroscopy and calorimetry revealed that the Curie temperature decreases as a consequence of Zr doping and that the BCTZ exhibits a first order ferroelectric phase transition. The electrocaloric effect was determined by the calculation of the electrocaloric change of temperature (ΔT) using the Maxwell relation based on the P–E hysteresis loops measured at different temperatures. A large electrocaloric responsivity ΔT/ΔE = 0.34 × 10−6 Km/V was found for x = 0.04, which significantly exceeds of values found so far in other lead-free electrocaloric materials.
Photothermally controlled Marangoni flow around a micro bubble
View Description Hide DescriptionWe have experimentally investigated the control of Marangoni flow around a micro bubble using photothermal conversion. Using a focused laser spot acting as a highly localized heat source on Au nanoparticles/dielectric/Ag mirror thin film enables us to create a micro bubble and to control the temperature gradient around the bubble at a micrometer scale. When we irradiate the laser next to the bubble, a strong main flow towards the bubble and two symmetric rotation flows on either side of it develop. The shape of this rotation flow shows a significant transformation depending on the relative position of the bubble and the laser spot. Using this controllable rotation flow, we have demonstrated sorting of the polystyrene spheres with diameters of 2 μm and 0.75 μm according to their size.
Fabrication of high-performance ultra-thin-body SnO2 thin-film transistors using microwave-irradiation post-deposition annealing
View Description Hide DescriptionWe report on the fabrication of high-performance ultra-thin-body (UTB) SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) using microwave-irradiation post-deposition annealing (PDA) at a low process temperature (<100 °C). We confirm that the electrical characteristics of SnO2 TFTs become drastically enhanced below a body thickness of 10 nm. The microwave-annealed UTB SnO2 TFTs with a thickness of 5 nm exhibited increased optical transmittance, as well as remarkable transfer characteristics: a high mobility of 35.4 cm2 V−1 s−1, a drain current on/off ratio of 4.5 × 107, a steep subthreshold gate voltage swing of 623 mV/dec, and a clear enhancement-mode behavior. Additionally, the microwave-annealed SnO2 TFTs exhibited a better positive gate-bias stress/negative gate-bias stress immunity than thermally annealed SnO2 TFTs. Therefore, the thickness of the UTB SnO2 TFTs, as well as the microwave-annealing process, are both shown to be essential for transparent and flexible display technology.
Noncontact broadband all-optical photoacoustic microscopy based on a low-coherence interferometer
View Description Hide DescriptionWe developed and fabricated a noncontact broadband all-optical photoacoustic microscopy (BD-AO-PAM) with a microchip laser and an all-fiber low coherence interferometer. Currently, the available detection bandwidth of the BD-AO-PAM is 67 MHz, and the lateral resolution measured by carbon fibers reaches 11 μm. Furthermore, the imaging capability of the BD-AO-PAM was testified by imaging hairs embedded in scattering gel and in vivo blood vessels of a mouse ear. The experimental results demonstrate that the BD-AO-PAM can image the tissues with high spatial resolution in vivo, which can be used as portable noncontact PAM for biomedical applications.
Binding modes of thrombin binding aptamers investigated by simulations and experiments
View Description Hide DescriptionThrombin binding aptamers HD1 and HD22 are the most studied aptamers, both for therapeutic and sensing purposes. Yet, there is still no commercialized aptamer-based sensor device for thrombin detection, suggesting that the binding modes of these aptamers remain to be precisely described. Here, we investigate thrombin-aptamer interactions with molecular dynamics simulations, and show that the different solved structures of HD1-thrombin complex are energetically similar and consequently possibly co-existing. Conversely, HD22 folding is much more stable, and its binding energy with thrombin is significantly larger than that of HD1 complexes. These results are confronted to experiments, which consist in monitoring aggregation of aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles triggered by thrombin. HD1 alone, but not HD22, can trigger aggregation, meaning that this aptamer has multiple sites of interactions with thrombin. Furthermore, pre-incubation of HD22 with thrombin impedes HD1 aggregation, suggesting that HD1 and HD22 have competing affinities for the same binding site. Altogether, this study shows that the characterization of aptamer-thrombin interactions by structural and kinetic experiments joined to simulations is necessary for the development of biosensors.

PPNEA within the frame of the IPA EU funded project "Enhancing transboundary protection and development of the Jablanica-Shebenik mountain range by active local involvement" organised, on 31 January 2014, the first workshop on best practices of sustainable resource use for the region of Shebenik-Jabllanica. The meeting took place in the town of Librazhd with local stakeholders and main actors in issues of natural resource use and sustainability. It was the first workshop of a series of three that will help to raise capacities among local stakeholders in integrating sustainable practices within the region and it fulfills part of Activity 2 in the project. The workshop was attended by a selected group of local stakeholders, including local non-profit organisations, forestry service, rural life representatives and local government representatives (see List of Participants below). These people, will form the core of capacity building element within the predicted series of workshops. The workshop was organised by PPNEA with help and facilitation by the international partner, EuroNatur. The purpose and work-plan were previously prepared in close discussion among all project partners, PPNEA, MES & EuroNatur. The main purpose of this first workshop was to bring up the extraordinary natural values of Shebenik-Jabllanica region and to pinpoint traditional activities that have been used in the area and have a clear connection to sustainability. The participants were divided in four working groups, concentrated in four major themes that had been previously defined within Activity 1 of the project, namely: 1. Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (Fatmir Brazhda – Group speaker, Hajdar Cekani, Ardit Kullafi, Shpetim Cura, Gordana Karaj, Xhevit Borici) 2. Stopping illegal hunting and promoting wildlife tourism (Eriola Katiaj – Group speaker, Enver Koci, Veri Bicaku, Gani Brazhda, Arif Tamizi, Murat Laska) 3. Forest management issues (Bajram Kullolli – Group speaker, Lindita Kokonozi, Lavdim Qoshi, Mitat Bicaku, Leonard Loshi, Xhek Nezho, Hekuran Mema) 4. Local products (related to eco-tourism potential) (Liri Leka – Group speaker, Eduart Allkja, Ruzhdi Borici, Veli Hoxha, Sefer Skura, Valbona Balla, Hysni Hoxha) The main outcomes of each group discussion was summarized and then reported back by one group representative. As an overall conclusion from the group discussion was that the area had the potential to fully integrate sustainable practices in daily rural life as local traditions and rules facilitate this. These results will form the basis of the next workshop, which will focus on best practices of sustainable resource use from an international perspective. This project is funded by European Union |

The Kansas Department of Transportation will consider grant funding for safety studies at two crosswalks, the Baldwin City Council learned Monday
City public works Director Bill Winegar shared a letter with the council from KDOT stating traffic evaluations for the Kansas Highway 56/Fourth Street and Sixth Street/Firetree Avenue intersections qualify for the department's Traffic Engineering Assistance Program and were added to the list of those to be considered in the current grant cycle. Should there not be enough money to fund the studies in that distribution, the projects would be considered again in the department's next funding cycle, the letter states.
The city's efforts to make safety improvements at the crosswalks, particularly the one on U.S. 56, gained visibility when Shai Jackson carried a petition in September asking the city to support a light at the site after she was ticketed for failure to yield to a pedestrian waiting to cross the highway.
Winegar said had already had talked with engineers about the studies. He said he would delay having engineers conduct traffic counts at the intersections until spring so that they won't reflect a low number of young pedestrians on cold or snowy days when parents drove them to school.
Councilwoman Christie Darnell, chair of the council's public works committee, said the Baldwin school district would be approached about the possibility of having volunteer crossing guards posted at the crosswalks before and after school.
Meanwhile, the faded white stripping at the crosswalks has been replaced with more noticeable reflexive thermoplastic markings. With that, the city placed construction flags in the crosswalk signposts to make them more noticeable, City Administrator Chris Lowe said.
"We're working the short-term solutions until we get a long-term one," he said.
In other business, the council:
• Heard from two officials with Mediacom, a cable TV, phone and Internet service provider in Baldwin City, during a continued public hearing on the proposal to issue up to $5 million in industrial revenue bonds to Dawn Fiber LLC. The bonds would finance the company's plan to bring gigabit fiber optics to the city.
Mediacom district operations manager Bryan Gann said the company plans to upgrade the current 15-megabit capacity Internet it offers in the community to 105-megabit capacity soon.
Bill Peard, a government affairs officer with the company, posed a number of questions about the proposal, such as whether Dawn Fiber planned to offer video and phone services as well as Internet, and, if so, whether its financial planning included competition from other providers for those services.
In response, Mike Bosch, one of Dawn Fiber's three founders, said Mediacom had a history of stoking fears. He added that in addition to Internet speed, the proposal was about a local company being accountable for providing reliable service to the community.
The public hearing was recessed and will continue at the council's Dec. 2 meeting. Dawn Fiber will be required to share details of its proposal before the Council gives final approval of the bond agreement, including a cost-benefit analysis justifying abatements of property and sales taxes.
• Received a report on the 2013 season at the Baldwin City swimming pool from Manager Tammy Michael, showing its revenues of $88,912, including a $38,500 city subsidy, exceeded its expenses of $86,844. The report shows the pool's attendance of 19,888 dipped from the 23,842 who visited the pool during the much hotter summer of 2012.

text: NWS Doppler radar senses atmospheric motion based on cloud and precipitation movement toward (green) and away from (red) the radar (radial velocity). Two types of velocity exist: base (ground-relative) velocity, and storm-relative velocity map (SRM). SRM equals storm motion minus base velocity, and shows winds "felt" by entities (e.g., thunderstorms) as they move through their environment. For more information, consult "Overview of the WSR-88D Radar System." SRM detects rotation in severe storms, and patterns of convergence and divergence. The image here shows KLVX 0.5 degree SRM on April 24, 2010 of a bow echo over central Kentucky. The radar is at Ft. Knox (top of image).

Medina, Ohio, July 2, 2014 – The Medina County Board of Developmental Disabilities (MCBDD) is gearing up for another Safety Town+PLUS to be held the week of July 25 at the Medina County Achievement Center (4691 Windfall Road, Medina).
Children with developmental disabilities from across MedinaCounty are invited to participate in the five-day program, each day focusing on a specific safety lesson: traffic safety, fire safety, gun safety and calling 911, bus safety and animal safety. During animal safety, the children will have the opportunity to interact with therapy dogs and service dogs. The week commences with a graduation ceremony to recognize all children that participated in the program.
Safety Towns are realistic, child-sized towns designed to provide complete hands-on safety education for children. Safety Towns have streets, working traffic signals and miniature buildings designed to be as authentic as possible. MCBDD's program is more than your typically SafetyTown. It will offer all the regular fun "PLUS" the extra help some children with developmental disabilities may need. Designed for children in grades K-3 with special needs, this program offers activities, games, stories and crafts to encourage learning (in a fun way) how to stay safe and make good choices during emergencies.
"SafetyTown teaches students how to remain safe in a variety of situations that they may face throughout their young and adult lives," said Director of School Age Programs, Dr. Kaye Stanley Bryson. "MCBDD is the ideal place to cater this program to help children with developmental disabilities fully understand the importance of each topic."
The idea for SafetyTown+PLUS came from parents of MCBDD's Parent Support Group. These parents found that local Safety Towns were too overwhelming and did not provide a tailored learning environment for their children, many who are on the autism spectrum. MCBDD's SafetyTown+PLUS will modify instructions and create multi-sensory activities to give students the best chances to practice important safety skills.
MCBDD will be working together with Sgt. Beverly Fraser of the Medina County Sheriff's Department and a variety of other local volunteers. "We are thrilled to have SafetyTown+PLUS come to the MCBDD," said Stanley-Bryson. "It is so encouraging to see so many volunteers come together to make sure all children have the opportunity to learn how to be safe and how to react in an emergency. We know this will be an excellent learning experience for all involved."

Waterkeepers Alliance Won't Appeal Ruling in Hudson Case
By Don Rush
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A New York-based environmental group that sued Perdue Farms and an Eastern Shore contract grower says it won't appeal a federal judge's ruling in a poultry pollution case.
The Waterkeeper Alliance announced in a statement on Wednesday that while the group believes it presented compelling evidence, it won't appeal U.S. District Jud
ge William Nickerson's ruling, because of the high burden of proof appellate courts impose for reversing a district court's findings.
The group says it believes the case will nevertheless lead to progress in protecting the Chesapeake Bay, because it called attention to deficiencies in permitting and enforcement programs for concentrated animal feeding operations.

(and the sooner the better.) When the genetically modified corn industry's evil product, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) finally is scientifically proven to be harmful to health the corn plant may make the news, much as the tobacco plant did a decade or so before. |
Runktrun, I LOVE your posts - they're always so interesting and thought provoking. Thank you, |
I agree with Bebe! I honestly think that plants in general aren't of interest to many folks. There was a lot of attention paid last year to a book about children not being exposed to nature . . . I think that the same applies to adults in our current society. We gardeners are something of an exception, along with the hikers, bikers, mountain climbers, farmers, etc. I think that things like cancer cures will get plants into the media, and I recently saw something about a survey being done by a biodiversity organization, asking for input as to folks' experience with naturally based substances in medicines (like the chemical derived from yew that is used in chemo.) I think that the average American needs a concrete benefit like that to have much appreciation of the benefits of biodiversity. At the same time, I'm currently taking a wetland plants class along with 9 young people. (I'm definitely middle-aged, using my husband's definition that middle age starts at 50 . . . ) I was charmed when on one of our field trips, one young man consistently referred to himself as a plant nerd, and I have one friend who's a farmer and whose two sons are both following in their parents' footsteps. So there is a new generation of farmers, gardeners, and other outdoors-loving folk coming along, despite the constant blitz of media cr@p about things that I personally feel don't deserve any real attention. |

Thank goodness somebody invented clickers, so we can get away from this so-called news without exerting too much energy - although generally when you click away from Kate on NBC you just find Roman on CNN. I guess the sponsors know what most people want to see, although it's hard to believe. Not sure what NPR's excuse is... Actually, I do think the Polanski and Letterman stories have some news value, and have started some interesting debates. Please tell me that those are the ones NPR has covered, not that other soap opera. I love the Aristolochia, Katy, as well as the thread. Why football gets so much coverage and gardening gets next to none is a real mystery. Spedigrees, I don't think HFCS is necessarily from GM corn, although I do agree that it's the worst thing since sliced (white) bread. I've been having an argument with my son the nutrition major about just how bad it is - I won't eat it (to the extent that I can avoid it), and he thinks it's no worse than sugar. He's in his 20s so he knows everything about everything. |
Agree with Bebe too. One thing that gets so much press is anything green. Have you noticed how they took the word green away from us? The hort industry has always been the green industry. Now green means anything from recycling soda cans to solar panels. Gardeners get no credit for our green-ness! |
I can agree with everything you discussed but one. Roman Polanski had nothing to do with The Painted Bird. The author was Jerzy Kosinski. It was my late husband's favorite book. |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Z7? (My Page) on Sun, Oct 4, 09 at 8:03
The Painted Bird has quite a story behind it, something like A Million Little Pieces. The author was as ... unusual as Polanski. |
Here is a link that might be useful: painted bird on wikipedia
Thanks for all of the overly generous comments. Jant thanks for pointing out that it was Jerzy Kosinski who authored Painted Bird or did he? I suppose we will never know the truth poor man it appears the controversy is believed to have been the driving force in his suicide. Ironic that Polanski and Kosinski were not only friends but lived in the same Polish community during the 1930's, went into hiding during WWll, and of course both had and have very dark personalities. |

Edit 442 not 642
I'm picking up a S&W 442 (hopefully it came in today) that I ordered and need some advice on what ammo to use. This is my first snubbie (I have a uspc 9mm and 1911 .45) and know the recoil could be a little punishing.
Need some advice on a light load to practice with and a hotter, carry load. Gun was purchased mainly for summer/pocket carry and also to mark the Heller vs DC ruling .

Farewell to Young Justice
By greencrapweasel Comments
Young Justice has been such a great show on Cartoon Network. Since Teen Titans had been taken off the air there was always an absence of a good teen superhero team show on TV. Now we are down more superhero teens. Of course we are getting Teen Titans Go!, but that show is going to be just an even kiddier version of the original Teen Titans show. Of course that's not a big deal and I will still watch it and love it, but it will not have a good story line like it once had or even Young Justice. The best thing I can think of for living in a world where we have Teen Titans Go! as a show is that we will once again live in a world where we can see a green beast boy on a weekly/monthly basis. Well that and the fact it possibly can complete some left over questions left by Teen Titans.
So to Young Justice I say, farewell. Please do make new episodes again someday

Using an upgraded site collection (from 2010) in SharePoint Server 2013, we get inconsistent name resolution behavior inside of an infopath form surfaced by infopath forms services. The environment is configured to use windows-claims authentication and the users are in a trusted active directory domain.
The form has two people picker controls. When searching for this particular user it finds them and fills them in. When you search for a user in the second people picker control, the form posts back and the first user name cannot be resolved saying "No exact match was found" and showing the claims encoded user name.
What is weird is that this is only happening for a handful of users who happen to have very similar AD account names.
For example: domainx\smith - doesn't work domainx\smithj - works domainx\simpson - doesn't work domainx\simpsonhomer - works
This seems as almost a bug in the parsing of the user name. Has anyone seen this or know a workaround?

Prep Time:
Cook Time:
8 hrs
2 hrs
6 hrs
TCSmoooth's Note:
Smokey BBQ Ribs that taste so good, the neighbors won't complain about your barking dog anymore.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 lbs baby back ribs or 2 lbs spareribs
- rib rub spices (rec. Emerill's Rib Rub)
- chili powder
- fresh coarse ground black pepper
- onion powder
- Frank's red hot sauce
- barbecue sauce (rec. KC Masterpiece)
- 1/2 cup maker's mark whiskey
- spray bottle full apple cider
- wood chips, for smoking
- charcoal
- 1If you're in a hurry, and you're planning on cooking and eating the ribs in 1 day, then START YOUR CHARCOAL NOW! If not, skip to step 2.
- 2Trim excess off of rib rack(s)but do not discard this excess. Use it later to test taste and doneness.
- 3Sprinkle Emerill's Rib Rub (or comparable mixture of spices) generously over both sides of rack(s).
- 4Sprinkle a thin layer of Onion Powder over both sides of rack(s).
- 5Sprinkle a good covering of coarse-ground black pepper over both sides of Racks(s).
- 6Shake-squirt Franks Red Hot Sauce over both side of Rack(s). This sauce is NOT very hot, just flavorful, so don't worry about making the ribs too spicy! I'm not joking.
- 7Thoroughly rub in Frank's sauce and spices. Work these ingredients into the raw meat with bare hands.
- 8Cover with plastic wrap, and let rack(s) sit in fridge for AT LEAST 1 hour--overnight would be better, though.
- 9Start your charcoal. Only use lighter fluid if you must.
- 10SMOKE CHIPS-Soak a good amount of wood chips in water for about 20 minutes (Hickory or Apple wood is best. Jack Daniel's Whiskey Barrell chips are even better. Yes, they exist and are sold in stores). Take the chips out of the water, and strain. Create a package for the chips out of aluminum foil. This package must be a size that can fit between your charcoal and the grate of your grill. Use a fork to poke a bunch of holes in the package for smoke to escape.
- 11Place smoking chips package on top of hot charcoals. Place metal grate over top of package. Replace lid to grill.
- 12Limit air ventilation on your grill so that all vents are just barely open. You want the grill to stay at a temperature around 250-300°F
- 13Wait until wood chips package is smoking heavily before putting the ribs on.
- 14Place the rib rack(s) directly on grill grate. The side of the ribs with more meat should be up. You never have to flip the rack(s) over.
- 15Fill a clean spray bottle with 1/2 cup of Bourbon Whiskey. Maker's Mark is best, followed by Jack Daniel's, but any whiskey will do great.
- 16Spray the ribs with the Whiskey until the bottle is empty. Replace the lid of the grill.
- 17Fill the spray bottle up with Apple Cider. You don't have to clean it out before filling it with cider, but make sure there's not much whiskey left at all.
- 18Wait 4 hours. The less you peek, the better, but if you can't contain yourself, be sure and spray the ribs with Cider whenever you peek.
- 19This part is confusing: After 4 hours, you have 2 final hours of cooking left (the ribs cook for 6 total hours). During those 5th and 6th hours, spray the ribs completely with Cider every 15 minutes. During the LAST hour, brush on BBQ sauce every 15 minutes as well. KC Masterpiece is my favorite, but you can suit your tastes. So, during the 5th hour of cooking, you should spray Cider every 15 minute and during the 6th hour, you should spray cider AND brush on BBQ sauce.
- 20Serve it up. I recommend having some friends over, because you have spent a long time on this meal, and these are the best ribs anyone has ever had. They're contest grade ribs, and you'll want your friends to taste them so you can brag.

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps Debuts New Single, Blonde 'Do in NYC (PHOTOS)
Real Housewives star Countess LuAnn de Lesseps has gone from reality cast member to pop star! If the Countess had your booty shaking with her infectious hit, "Money Can't Buy You Class," prepare yourself for her newest song, "Chic C'est La Vie."
Celebuzz attended the Countess' single release party (hosted by Life & Style) at the glamorous Bar Basque in New York City on Tuesday, June 28. Joined by her Real Housewives co-stars Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin and Cindy Barshop, the now-blonde Countess fluttered around the room, greeting friends and happily posing for photos with excited fans.
So, what's up with her new blonde 'do? The Countess told a Life & Style reporter that she "always wanted to be a blonde" and she finally made the change thanks to Jason Backe at Ted Gibson's famed NYC salon.
LuAnn showed off her impossibly long legs in a very short purple mini-dress and unique black shoes that flashed white, green and blue lights with every step that she took.
The Countess was joined by daughter Victoria de Lesseps who got the dance party going once Rihanna's "S&M" began playing.
"Look, it's my mom," Victoria exclaimed to a group of young friends as they watched the Countess' new music video for "Chic C'est La Vie" play on a massive screen facing the bar. The beautiful teen was clearly happy about seeing her mom on such a big screen.
Watch LuAnn's "Chic C'est La Vie" (co-starring Jill and Kelly!) below.
Victoria wasn't the only gal who was in a dancing mood – Kelly made a beeline for the DJ booth to dance next to DJ Martial, who was spinning pop hits all night. Kelly looked a little nervous when a duo of shirtless male dancers busted out sparklers but she didn't let a little sparkle get in her way of having a good time.
Although the blonde LuAnn was busy greeting guests and posing for photos, she did find a little time to hang out with her boyfriend, Jacques Azoulay, who supplied the wine for the night. Jacques was all smiles as he doted on LuAnn and graciously posed for photos with everyone who approached him. LuAnn has found herself a real class act!
Meanwhile, Jill Zarin sat at a booth with husband Bobby Zarin and co-star Cindy. Hm, maybe they were talking over those rumors that Cindy and Alex McCord are thinking about leaving Real Housewives next season? Cindy, the newest cast member, looked happy to be out with her co-stars and was all smiles with fans.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. When I right click to delete an MPEG-4 video file, I have to confirm to delete the file. Even after doing this, it can't be deleted. These files are directed to be opened in Real Player. Any idea about how to delete them? Thanks sfhill |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd try deleting them in Safe Mode, it maybe because real player is running as it usually does at start up. If you boot to safe mode real player won't be running there. Try it an see. Restart the computer, hold down the F8 key during restart, wait for the Windows Advanced boot options menu to appear, select Safe Mode from the list, hit enter. Try deleting the file. |

Shoemaker shines in first standup special 'Daditude'May 16, 2013 |
By G. Michael Dobbs
email@example.com An outstanding documentary and a very funny comedian are featured in this week's movie review column. If you follow news from China, you may be aware of that nation's best-known artist Ai Weiwei and his on-going efforts to call out the Chinese government on its oppression of free speech and harassment of dissidents. If you haven't heard of the artist and his struggle, I urge you to seek out and watch this documentary that took several years to complete. The film not only chronicles the evolution of the artist from his time as the son of an intellectual persecuted in the Cultural Revolution, to his stint in New York City as a student and emerging artist, to his first exposure on the international stage as the artist who helped design the "Bird's Nest" stadium used during the Beijing Olympics. While director, cinematographer and producer Alison Klayman clearly admires her subject, she certainly shows his human side, such as fathering a child outside of his marriage. Although he began his efforts to question the status quo in China before he was internationally known, Ai has cleverly used his fame to play an increasingly more dangerous game. When the Chinese authorities banned his website, he went to Twitter to get the message out about government repression. His rallying cry has been "Don't retreat, Re-tweet!" One of Ai's greatest efforts was to assemble the names of the thousands of children killed in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Since the quake happened during a school day, the children were attending classes in shoddily made government schools. The Chinese government tried to suppress the facts, but Ai traveled to the district to make a documentary about the aftermath of the earthquake as a way to make people aware of the truth. Klayman shows that although that Ai wasn't prosecuted for his opinions, the Chinese government certainly reached a point when they flexed their muscle. They seized Ai and held him captive for 81 days in 2011 without filing any charges. This action did slow the artist down a bit, but he is still fighting the government. The film might certainly challenge our perceptions of China. Viewers might be inspired to think about the implications of the United States being tied financially so close to a Communist dictatorship that jails people for just asking questions. Although he is no newcomer to comedy, I hadn't seen Craig Shoemaker perform before and this DVD of his Showtime special was my first exposure. I was happy to discover he is one funny guy. Shoemaker mines some pretty traditional veins of comedy including relationships between men and women and parents and children, but his approaches to these subjects are fresh and singular. While Shoemaker isn't afraid to use adult language, his act is far more about observations than shock. A solid hour and a half of comedy, "Daditude" is worth discovering. |

I give advice... a lot.
I don't see it as advice though, I see it as me analyzing the moment and giving off information, but in a condescending manner most times.
I see the flaws of that, and I take it as information as well, storing it in my head for better analyzing in my own time. And I do analyze it.
I am rather unattached to other people's problems, but at the same time I find myself needing to attach myself to them. Life taught and humbled me that I HAVE to care about others (I was one of those who thought "Psh. Whatever, I don't care what others think") do and think.
However, that doesn't mean I should guide them either, at least, not get out of my way to do so.
And I don't. I never give these people lessons and such unless they come begging for it. And even then, I give them a generic answer because I haven't fully grasped the situation yet.
I don't want to know them any more than I do, because that means I have to be close to them. And being a grand example of being a generic @sshole: I don't want to care about most people, I've got my own demons to fight off, let yours devour you if you deserve it.
I do believe that they should handle their own problems, but I know for a fact that there's a good chance they won't end up in a nice place until they've hit several roadblocks and traps along the way. Their life is going to suck a good amount before they get there, and it'll have great times along the ways too, but if they're troubled in heart and mind there's a good chance they won't even remember those good parts as an optimistic thing.
Fact is, life is risky, and most people's risks usually don't pay off.
Who am I to say I know any better?
Well, I did what they didn't do: Shut up and listen for once.
And from that perspective, I know better than them - as they rush in there and do their actions - getting themselves killed because they ran in there with emotions and not logic.
For this reason, I'm jealous of those who go through these actions, come out unscathed, and come out as a better person at the same time.
Because damn are they lucky, and how I wish I had that luck (I wouldn't be as negative as I am today if I had their luck).
But at the same time: I do not tell them what to do at the moment of their problems.
I wait for them to fail most times. I let them live, let them fail, and I build them back up again.
And if they're not broken enough, I break them even more. Apparently, I'm good at that.
People need to reach a real low in order to realize truly what they've done wrong.
And even then, they need to ask for my advice.
And even then, I still don't really want to.
But my brain is full of unused information that I feel like throwing it up on them.
They might feel I'm preaching to them.
In reality, I'm just dropping off information that I wasn't using at the moment anyways.
Who am I to judge people?
I'm the person who ISN'T in their situation. I'm the person who AVOIDED that situation. I'm the person who RECOVERED from that situation.
Most importantly: I'm the person who's doing this out of logic, not by any need of human emotional intentions.
I'm the damn computer that found your actions illogical and is showing you the correct way to do it. And yes, it's going to be cold and void of emotions, but I'm not here to be your best friend or lover: I'm here as the annoying tactician who laughed at your failed attempt of bravery.
People hate me for that, and I don't care. I'm up here, you're down there, you shouldn't have done that in the first place.
Don't like my advice? Then you shouldn't have asked for it.
.... in a way, I do want to help people genuinely... emotions and all that... and the best way to do that is let them hear encouragement, not a lesson.
... but I don't want people to get close to me. I did that before, and... people just...
Fact is, if you were looking for a friend, they're over there... the ones who stood by you despite all that crap. And if they aren't there, then you gotta' realize your old friends sucked. Find some new ones.

Are there any kinds of ornamental grasses that will spread,
that is 6-8" high? My area to fill in is a good 80'. I'd like to make an outline/border look. Prior to this I had 100's of Holly Hocks that surrounded the perimeter creating a totally private inner garden. I dug them all out & want grasses to be the new outline/border; so I can see thru into/inside the entire garden's fleurs. I've checked on line, two local centers, and just thought someone, just someone, on this subject will help me. Survival in this tundra, home of the G.Bay Packers is the grief.

SAP chairman and co-founder Hasso Plattner takes the stage to bust myths about HANA, its in-memory database technology. Live from the Sapphire Now conference in Orlando.
A little over a month I challenged a number of technology vendors who had shifted their messaging to customer experience from something else to customer experience to show me how they could defend that transition - to show me how it was more than hot air - smoke and mirrors. So far Get Satisfaction and now SAP have met the challenge. Read it. SAP more than answered it.
Enterprise firm SAP's Q3 results have shown strong growth in three key areas, and software sales remain strong.
Coca-Cola Amatil will now look to undertake a tech refresh in Indonesia, after completing its major SAP technology refresh in Australia and New Zealand.
Let me start this with a strange and seemingly incoherent (but truly more inchoate) statement."If SAP marketed to the rest of the world, the way they produce conferences, they could arguably become the best technology company on the planet.
Hasso Plattner, one of the five co-founders of SAP and chairman of its supervisory board, clarified the potential that HANA, SAP's in-memory database technology, will have on the company's future — from both technical and strategic standpoints.
Legendary SAP co-founder Hasso Plattner discusses the limits of today's technology and why in-memory computing will change everything -- nevermind what Larry Ellison says about it.
SAP plans to move its applications to its own Sybase-powered database platform, and mix in a heavy dose of HANA in-memory technology. The game plan: push long-time database partner Oracle out of the way, and take a bigger chunk of the enterprise IT-spending pie.
How may people really understand what SAP is doing with HANA? Probably a lot more than we might give credit. But technology is not the story here. It's about the business.
When developing a mobile technology plan, what factors should you consider and what does this mean for other big IT vendors down the road?

Ed. Note: Another chapter from Frantic: the Memoir, violinist Marjorie Kransberg-Talvi's remarkable continuing chronicle of her childhood. The previous chapter on Interlocken is here.
I lost first chair. There had been the usual Friday round of orchestra challenges known as compete-for-your-seat. The instructor, a petite woman with black hair stacked in a tight bun, led the first violins through a maze of selected passages in the Brahms Tragic Overture. She asked if anyone wanted to try and move up. My stand partner for that week, a Puerto Rican violinist with an afro raised his hand to challenge my spot."Wonderful," said the instructor. She fixed her beady eyes on the score. "Here at Interlochen, we embrace a healthy competitive spirit."A few players groaned. My pulse quickened."OK, first violins. Remember the rules for challenges. Number one, no peeking while the contenders perform their selections. Number two, listen with your ears and remain attentive throughout the entire selection. After each of the violinists have completed their excerpts, you'll vote by raising your hands. There'll be no talking or whispering. Understood?"She tapped a pencil against the music stand. "All right. Let's begin. Top of Tragic."

4 runner rear coils
my old coils are shot and was wondering if i should go with the landcrusier 80 series or go with the ome coils for the rear suspension
I have LC coils and shock on the rear of my 4runner and love them. The ride is awesome on and off road. I have the Sonoran Steel 1.2A kit.
They do give quite a bit of lift though. So you will want to make sure its the lift you want or find the right year LC coils that will give you the lift you need. I'm not an expert on that though, as far as how many coil wraps on the springs and how much lift they give. Hopefully someone can chime in on that part of it. I've never had OME coils, but I have heard they are good too. |
LC coils give at least 4" of lift.
If that is too much take a look at the OME coils, the 890 is very similar and only gives 3". I have the 890's with Bilstein 5125 and love it. |
I'm running ARB OME 891's and have had real good luck with them compaired to others that I've ran. I found that the 890's were too soft, and the 892's were too hard. 891's give you <= 3" of lift. One thing that you want to keep in mind with longer coils is there compression length. A long coil will bottom out before your bump-stop does in some cases. This will tear out the coil bucket and/or other carnage. Off course the opposite is true with a shorter coil; you loose travel because it will fall out of the bucket. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._1337873_n.jpg
What year is your 4 runner
I have ome set up all round. i have 891s in the rear and i cant really complain. awesome ride but if your seating in the rear passengers seat.... lets just say itll feel like a horse kicked you in the balls.

Burlington Franchise Fees Voted Down
The Burlington City Council will have to account for a significant budget shortfall following this week's special election.
Voters rejected new gas and electric franchise agreements between the city and Interstate Light & Power, whose parent company is Alliant Energy, 82%-18%.
The agreements included 3% fees that would have appeared on monthly utility bills.
The city had hoped to receive more than $600,000 this fiscal year and more than $800,000/year in subsequent fiscal years.
City Manager Jim Ferneau says a plan is in place for the current budget.
"The bigger deal for us will be how do we prepare for this next budget cycle," says Ferneau. "We will have some very difficult meetings as we move into the winter months."
The plan for the current budget includes delaying the purchase of a fire truck, holding off on construction to Cascade Bridge and cutting multiple funds.
Voter turnout was more than 12.5% for the special election.
