Okey Dokey Artichoke-y
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, April 23, 2012I adore artichokes. Every part of them, from the outer leaves to the tender hearts. They remind me of being a kid because my mom always stuffed and baked them for my birthday. Tender leaves brimming with nutty bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. A quick slide across the teeth and my palate was in heaven. She also made chocolate cake, but that's a different blog post.
You should love artichokes too because they're loaded with nutrients, such as: Potassium, vital for maintaining normal heart rhythm, fluid and salt balance and muscle and nerve function. One medium artichoke provides over 400 milligrams of potassium (as much as a small banana). Magnesium, used for building bones, making proteins, releasing energy from muscles and for regulating body temperature. Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that protects the immune system and helps form collagen, which gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels. Fiber (over 10 grams per artichoke), which helps maintain a healthy digestive system, lowers cholesterol, stabilizes blood sugar, reduces heart disease and cancer risk and helps you feel full, aiding weight control.
Sounds like a multivitamin in a vegetable, right? After that stellar nutrient rating, it's hard to believe that the best part might be the flavor! Here's a recipe similar to my mom's – stuffed and baked. So simple, yet so delicious. And for those who haven't devoured the whole artichoke from start to finish, a few pointers (once they're baked and ready to eat):
Grab the leaves and pull them up and out, away from the center. Put the leaf in your mouth and, through slightly clenched teeth, scrape off the tender flesh. Discard the leaf and grab another. When you've finished all leaves, you'll reach the heart, the core of deliciousness. Using a spoon, scrape away any remaining fuzzy choke from the top, revealing the round, flat heart with a slight indentation in the center. I like to add a little sea salt to the heart but you can just dive right in.
Stuffed Artichokes
Serves 4
4 large fresh artichokes
1 lemon, halved
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Slice the tops off each artichoke, removing about 1-2 inches. Pull away any tough outer leaves and scrape out the fuzzy choke from the middle. Rub one half of the lemon all over the artichokes to prevent discoloration during cooking. Set aside.
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oil in a medium bowl and mix well. Use a small spoon to fill each artichoke leaf with breadcrumb mixture. Transfer stuffed artichokes to a shallow baking dish and add about 1/2 inch of water and the juice from the remaining 1/2 of a lemon. Cover pan with foil and bake 45 minutes, until artichokes are tender. Serve warm or room temperature.

A beautiful spot and a great view. We have been very near this point with our pontoon boat and actually could have probably beached it and walked to this cache. A fun and nice area to walk, and since it was about 19 degrees, not a MOSQUITO to be found!!TFTC

(a) no solution
(a) no solution
recall that two linear equations have no solution if they are parallel (solution means they meet at a certain point),, thus the two equations, in order to be parallel must have the SAME SLOPE.
to determine the slope of the given equation, we rewrite it in this form:
y = mx + b
where m = slope and b = y-intercept,, so x + y = 4 becomes:
y = -x + 4
where m = -1
now that we know the slope, we can now formulate a new equation with slope=1,, thus we only change the value of b in order to have a parallel equation,, an example would be:
y = -x + 1
(b) infinitely many solutions
here, it means that the two linear equations coincide meaning they have the SAME SLOPE and Y-INTERCEPT,, this means that the equations are equal, and most of the time, they are just the multiple of each other.
for the given equation, we can just multiply any number to both sides of the equation to formulate the coinciding equation,, for instance we multiply it by 2:
2(x + y = 4)
2x + 2y = 8
(c) one solution
it means that the two equation meet at EXACTLY ONE POINT,, thus the other equation must have at least, a DIFFERENT SLOPE,, an example would be:
x + 2y = 4
where they meet at point (4,0)
hope this helps~ :)

Hanley Ramirez has grown from outburst
March, 6, 2011
Buster Olney | ESPN Insider
Marc Serota/Getty ImagesThe signs of change are there for Hanley Ramirez.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Hanley Ramirez's small gestures this spring have been noticed by those around him: making conversation with younger hitters around the cage, or in the clubhouse; calling over to young third baseman Matt Dominguez, who is a strong defender but is still finding his sea legs at the major league level; chatting with others in the clubhouse.The national perception of Ramirez after his much-publicized run-in with Fredi Gonzalez last May was that of a surly know-it-all. You remember what happened: Ramirez loped after a ball, instead of running hard, and Gonzalez met him at the front of the dugout after the half inning was over and pulled him from the game. Ramirez famously tore into his manager afterward.

A barn fire at the home of Cowboy Church pastor Greg Spann resulted in the complete destruction of the structure Friday afternoon. Spann and his wife, Francis, returned home from lunch to find the barn in flames and completely engulfed. Two horses were in the barn at the time, but escaped after Spann opened the barn door. Neither horse was burned, but Spann called a veterinarian to check the horses for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Units from the Turtle Creek, Haskell and Traskwood fire departments responded to the call.
Cast members of Bauxite High School's spring musical, "Fame Jr.," are ready for the show. Performance times are set for 7 p.m. today and 3 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets at the door are $5 for adults and $3 for students. The audience is encouraged to wear 1980s attire for a chance to win a door prize.

An Interview With the Latest Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Castoff
by Joseph Erdos in Shows, January 6th, 2013
Every Sunday night, FN Dish gives you the exclusive exit interview with the latest castoff from Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, the competition show that features celebrities cooking their way through challenges for a chance to win the title of Cook-Off Champion and $50,000 for their chosen charity. This season will have the celebrities facing real-life situations — far from the glamour of the red carpet — and will test more than just their cooking skills.
On tonight's premiere, the eight celebrities walked in on the red carpet and stepped directly into the competition. The challenge for the first episode combined cooking and entertaining, but not as you might initially think. The celebrity that was sent home unfortunately only excelled at one task and not the other.
After they met with the stars, Rachael and Guy assembled their teams and immediately began the competition. For the first challenge, the celebs had to cook a tasting menu for hundreds of theater guests. But that wasn't it; they also had to perform a three-minute skit during dinner. Ultimately, the theater portion of the challenge went off without a hitch for both teams, but the dinner portion wasn't as successful for some.

Episode 1 Highlights (Photos)
The dinner-theater guests voted Team Rachael as the losing team with Kathy's and Gilbert's dishes as the least favorite. For the elimination challenge, Rachael and Guy asked the bottom two celebs to prepare a midnight snack. Kathy made her mom's hummus recipe and Gilbert decided to reinterpret the same dish that contributed to his team's losing the dinner-theater challenge: a peanut butter sandwich. Even though Rachael called Gilbert's dish a perfect midnight snack, she and Guy chose to send him home. Seven celebrities remain to compete next week. Watch Gilbert's exit interview below.
Do you have any regrets about the competition?
Gilbert Gottfried: I really wish I could have won the $50,000 for my charity, The Gift of Laughter: The Friar Foundation Wounded Warriors Program.
Did you learn anything from this competition and are you going to cook again?
GG: I don't know if I just learned it, but I've learned from this competition just how much more I need to learn about cooking. I'm not sure if I'll ever have the courage to cook again, but I'm walking away from the competition with a new appreciation for what goes into making a good meal.
What do you take away from this competition?
GG: I'm happy that I was able to take part in the competition, raise awareness for my charity and work with Rachael and with Guy, because even though I was on Rachael's team, Guy was helping out too. At the end of the day I'm still totally lost, but I'd like to think it was a good experience.
Do you think Gilbert deserved to go home? Leave a comment.

I applaud the charity (ie Wounded Warriors) that Gilbert G. Represented and helped to highlight. Having said that, it was completely inappropriate to have someone who can't cook in a cooking contest. This may have been someone's foolish idea of a joke? If so, it failed. It made the first episode a joke and diminished the actual dishes prepared by the others. It also probably threw the first challenge to Guy's team and left Rachel's team short. I think it was insulting to viewers. Makes me reluctant to continue to watch…. I don't usually comment on shows, but this left me PO'd enough to track down the comments site.
I agree with you on every point you made. I never comment on these kind of things either….but it was obvious that Gilbert G. was brought in just to be the first one eliminated. The poor man was confused about everything that had to do with cooking! He has to have the worst agent ever!
We call such contestants—on any reality competition—cannon fodder.
I agree…I'm not really sure why he was on the show in the first place if he isn't comfortable in the kitchen–and he obviously was not, at least on that large of a scale. Most of the other contestants apparently sent in a video showing them preparing something or something they had cooked, and I didn't see one for him. I find his charity admirable though.
I completely agree with writer AnneM above. My annoyance drove me to find the show's blog. Another questionable feature: With two vegetarian/vegan chefs (one on each team, conveniently), how will the "face off" challenges be blind if one of them is involved? Will it not be OBVIOUS that the meatless dish was prepared by THAT chef?
Please don't refer to them as a Chef. Gives Chefs a bad name.
They're the Honey Boo Boo of cooking
lol I stand corrected. I meant it in only the most remote sense :)
I just want to know what they will do if a challenge requires some kind of meat or an ingredient from an animal.
I was really looking forward to watching this show tonight. But I was very disappointed in then bringing on Gilbert Gottfried. He is not a cook so he did not belong on the show. Plus I didn't even think that he was funny now I know that someone had to be voted off. But you should have had another cook. Mr. Gottfried is not a cook or is he funny. He did not belong on the show. Who ever brought him to the show should be hiding under the bed and be ashamed of them selfs.
Gilbert is the best! It takes a genius to try and make the same dish for both challenges of a cooking competition and make it entertaining. Gilbert was my only reason for watching the show this season so—I'm gone.
So is this show staged like NIC?
I think it's worse, they're promoting agendas this time. From what I read so far, I'm glad I stopped watching 10 minutes into it last night. Gilbert may be glad he left the show right away by the time it plays out.
Wow…thought I was the only one that caught that on NIC.
Probably. Poor Gilbert, why did they even ask him to compete?
Pulled this blog up this morning just to see what happened……….glad I didn't watch. Total waste of the viewer's time it seems. Now I know for sure Sunday night is open for other things.
Wow, this was bad. I watch Food Network because it is normally high quality. I accept that the shows are staged. What "reality" show isn't. And it's no coincidence, I'm sure, that the teams stayed even all through the last season. So what.
But this was hard to watch. Ouch. The casting director needs a different job. Now. The "celebrity" contestants include a couple of professional reality show hacks and someone who dated Mick Jagger a few decades ago. I don't give a flip who sleeps with whom, but "dating" Mick Jagger does not make anyone a celebrity. That's just weird. And if I wanted to go all feminist, insulting. I'm surprised they didn't cast professional creep and liar Michele Salahi (of White House crashing fame). They could say she is a member of the Redskins Cheerleaders Alumni. (Per news reports, she joined the alumni group by lying about having been a cheerleader. )
Most of the participants could at least be (semi) real. The only interest in this obviously staged show is seeing people in a different light. Lou Diamond Phillips in the last season was great to watch. The previews had a quick moment of Gilbert speaking normally. But through the entire show, he stayed in "character" – stupid and unfunny, and obnoxious to listen to. Either the casting director casted someone who couldn't cook to a cooking show, or Gilbert thought it would be cute to act like a moron. Either way, bad. Then at the end, he says he really wanted to win after declaring he can barely make a peanut butter sandwich?
Dear food network – do you really think this is what your customer base wants to watch?
You had a thumbs up until you started trashing Gilbert. Get a sense of humor.
I see your point. Many people like Gilbert, many don't. That wasn't the problem. He was too busy being "ME I'm a comedian and this is my Shtick." I would have preferred seeing the real person, not the routine. I would have had the same objection if the football player tried to tackle the other contestants or the singers launched into solos when asked to discuss the food they wanted to make. This is a cooking show. If he had been the least bit serious about his cooking, I would have had no problem.
they have this thing…………it's called a remote…………..change the channel
You had me until you commented on Lou Diamond Phillips. As I said on another blog, I saw him on the Military Movie Channel talking with Pat Sajak who was a DJ in Viet Nam. Lou was an a@@ h@@@. I wanted to punch him out for his insensitive juvenile comments. He doesn't have a clue! I used to like him but in my opinion – he is a jerk!
I agree. He bugs me. So arrogant or dramatic. He can't stand to share the stage with anyone unless he the center.
forget gilbert………… I won't watch this show due to the little dinner theater skits and the big "MAN" kiss that had no place on FOOD TV? The Food Network channel is getting so bad . I agree just a bunch of stupied reallity shows. Bring back some real cooking shows !
Real cooking shows are boring. Food Network got popular with the entertainement.
Your comment is bizarre & moderately offensive. Try learning what a show is about before you watch it & find that it's exactly as it's supposed to be.
I tried to watch this thing to give it a chance. Johnny Weir-do was never a fave of mine when he skated. And he wasn't a fave of mine here. His dish was deemed flavorless prior to service. Since he didn't care how to improve it, I didn't care if he remained. Right after the boy-on-boy smooch, I fell asleep and missed the rest of show. Reading this blog, I see Gottfried was ousted. I'll have to watch the ep to see how badly Gilbert did to leave before the "tasteless" skater…
Gotta love when Johnny – reference skating in every breath he took just to remind you why he thinks he if famous.
This show is a train-wreck on Valium. Really, had to watch sideways since these hacks terrorized the TV screen with their horrific acting and over done showcase of lack of talent. I feel bad for Guy and Rachel – how could they bring in a sorted group of "never do wells" on this show. With Lou Diamond Phillips and Coolio last season . . . I think they started selected bottom up when selecting contestants.
I am overwhelming happy for the racist Gilbert Godfrield to be off the show. . . just a reminder of his off color joke about the Japanese tragedy with the tsumani and radiation. Sad – to correlate that with the charity that he SAID he was supporting. Or in this case NOT supporting.
they should have alex what's her name from Iron Chef be a judge

The compare function compares the contents of two MPC objects MPC1, MPC2. If the design specifications (models, weights, horizons, etc.) are identical, then yesno is equal to 1.
Note compare may return yesno=1 even if the two objects are not identical. For instance, MPC1 may have been initialized while MPC2 may have not, so that they may have different sizes in memory. In any case, if yesno=1 the behavior of the two controllers will be identical.

Keep Your Scooter Safe
Scooter Facts:
The threat of your scooter being stolen is a very real possibility.
Over 20,000 scooters are stolen every year.
Only 14% of stolen machines are recovered.
A thief can steal your scooter in under 20 seconds.
80% of two wheel thefts are from the owners home.
Scooter theft is on the increase.
50% of owners do not lock their scooters.
You can drastically reduce the risk of theft by implementing the advice below:
- Buy an anti theft deterrent. Chains and padlocks, disk locks, U-locks and immobilisers are all good deterrents.
- A simple way to ensure your scooter is not stolen is to remove the spark plug or HT cap, it's quick, easy and doesn't cost you a penny.
- Lock your scooter to something immovable like railings, lamp posts or bike post. Keep chains as tight to the machine as possible and try to ensure they are off the ground.
- Park your scooter where it can be seen, not tucked away in the corner of a dark car park.
- Always lock your scooter at home. Use a cover over your scooter if it is outside. If you can keep your scooter in an alarmed secure garage.
- Use a proprietary part marking system like Datatag or Alpha Dot to deter professional thieves and help trace your scooter if it is stolen.
- The use of approved anti-theft devices such as Sold Secure or Thatcham may help reduce your insurance premium.
Safe Scootering
Proper clothing is essential to safe riding. Wearing the right clothing makes the ride safer and more comfortable.
Helmets come in all sizes, from childrens sizes to extra large, make sure the helmet you choose fits well and is comfortable, it will spend many hours on your head. Always make sure you fasten the strap.
Eye Protection
Your eyes are precious, and it does not take much to injure one. A fly screen or faring on a scooter is not eye protection.
Proper eye protection means an approved visor on your helmet, a pair of goggles or shatterproof glasses.
Motorcycle clothing is made in many sturdy materials: denim, nylon in its various guises, corduroy, and leather. Leather offers you the most protection. You can buy leather jackets with body protection pads and back protectors.
Protective clothing should be worn even for the shortest journey.
Gloves should always be worn to protect against stone chips and hot scooter parts and to keep hands warm.
Specialist motorcycle boots give the best protection, trainers should be avoided.

An Evidence-Based Medicine Approach To Plantar Fasciitis
Taking an exhaustive look at the literature on plantar fasciitis, this author discusses what studies have revealed on diagnostic imaging and explores the reported findings for a wide range of treatments, including orthotics, platelet rich plasma, extracorporeal shockwave therapy and plantar fasciotomy.
Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common pathologic conditions for which patients seek podiatric care. Tong and Furia estimated that the cost to treat plantar fasciitis in Medicare patients alone may be as high as $376 million a year.1
There is an evolving standard of care for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. With this in mind, let's take a closer look at changing concepts in etiologic considerations, the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, conservative management and surgical treatment.
Clinicians have long recognized overweight status as an etiologic factor in plantar fasciitis. Sadat noted a mean body mass index (BMI) of 30.36 in symptomatic patients in comparison to non-symptomatic patients with a mean BMI of 26.71.2 Similarly, Rano and colleagues relate an average BMI of 30.4 in heel pain patients in comparison to 28.2 in asymptomatic patients.3 These authors also noted no relationship between foot type and plantar fasciitis, but did observe that plantar fasciitis occurs more often in less active individuals. Riddle and colleagues noted that BMI was a major factor responsible for disability and functional impairment with heel pain.4 Given that heel pain is associated with increased BMI in many patients, a recommendation for weight loss is appropriate in this patient population.
There have been some advocates for changing terminology from plantar fasciitis to plantar fasciosis. This is based upon the work of Lemont and coworkers, who studied 50 histologic specimens from plantar fasciitis patients and found no evidence of an inflammatory process.5 The authors instead found myxoid degeneration, fragmentation of plantar fascia, degeneration of the plantar fascia and bone marrow vascular ectasia.
However, the presence of ultrasound demonstrable changes, such as resolved hypoechogenicity and decreased plantar fascia thickness, following the treatment of plantar fasciitis suggest the presence of a more active and dynamic process.6 Utilizing ultrasound, Fabrikant and Park demonstrated decreased plantar fascia thickness in response to injection and biomechanical therapy, again implying a more dynamic pathologic process.7 More recently, Mahowald and coworkers showed that changing thickness of the plantar fascia is a valid objective measurement to assess treatment protocols.8
Hafner and colleagues have also suggested a diverse etiology for plantar fasciitis in a study looking at 100 pathologic specimens in patients with recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.9 The authors found that 25 percent of patients demonstrated neoplastic changes consistent with plantar fibromatosis, 21 percent had inflammatory changes and 54 percent showed no inflammatory or neoplastic changes. Given these findings, the authors suggested that the etiology of plantar heel pain may be more diverse than frequently assumed and a more detailed evaluation may be appropriate in some patients.
A Closer Look At Biomechanical Considerations
Other authors have suggested that reduced foot mobility and decreased shock absorption may cause plantar heel pain as they demonstrated through assessment of nonweightbearing and weightbearing lateral radiographs of the foot, and measurements of calcaneal inclination, first metatarsal-calcaneal inclination and plantar fascia length.10 Researchers have also pointed to the decreased ability of the plantar fat pad to dissipate contact phase energy as being associated with plantar heel pain.11

Spare cars, engines and gearboxes
Published with permission from the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile.
28.1 Each competitor may have no more than two cars available for use at any one time during an Event. Other than on the day of the race after cars have been released from post-qualifying parc fermé (see Article 34.4), any partially assembled survival cell will be deemed to be a car in this context if it is fitted with an engine, any front suspension external to the survival cell, bodywork, radiators, oil tanks external to the survival cell or heat exchangers.
28.2 Any driver who decides to use another car or whose car has a change of survival cell following the qualifying practice session must start the race from the pit lane following the procedures detailed in Article 38.2. Under these circumstances :
a) The car concerned will not have to comply with the requirements of Article 34.
b) The car will be permitted to carry out one reconnaissance lap when the pit lane is opened for the race.
28.3 No change of car is permitted after the start of the race.
A change of car will be deemed to have taken place once a driver is seated in his new car and such change may only take place in the team's designated garage area.
28.4 a) Unless he drives for more than one team (see 28.4(d) below), each driver may use no more than five power units during a Championship season.
b) For the purposes of this Article 28.4 the power unit will be deemed to comprise six separate elements, the engine (ICE), the motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K), the motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H), the energy store (ES), turbocharger (TC) and control electronics (CE). Each driver will therefore be permitted to use five of each of the above six components during a Championship season and any combination of them may be fitted to a car at any one time.
c) Should a driver use more than five of any one of the elements a grid place penalty will be imposed upon him at the first Event during which each additional element is used. Penalties will be applied according to the following table and will be cumulative :
Replacement of a complete power unit = The driver concerned must start the race from the pit lane.
The first time a 6th of any of the elements is used = Ten grid place penalty.
The first time a 6th of any of the remaining elements is used = Five grid place penalty.
The first time a 7th of any of the elements is used = Ten grid place penalty.
The first time a 7th of any of the remaining elements is used, and so on = Five grid place penalty.
A power unit or any of the six components will be deemed to have been used once the car's timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane.
If a grid place penalty is imposed, and the driver's grid position is such that the full penalty cannot be applied, the remainder of the penalty will be applied at the driver's next Event. However, no such remaining penalties will be carried forward for more than one Event.
d) If a driver is replaced at any time during the Championship season his replacement will be deemed to be the original driver for the purposes of assessing power unit usage.
e) After consultation with the relevant power unit supplier the FIA will attach seals to each of the relevant components within the power unit prior to them being used for the first time at an Event in order to ensure that no significant moving parts can be rebuilt or replaced.
Within two hours of the end of the post race parc fermé exhaust blanking plates (with one 10mm diameter inspection hole per cylinder) and further seals will be applied to all used power unit components in order to ensure that they cannot be run or dismantled between Events.
Upon request to the FIA these additional seals will be removed after the start of initial scrutineering at the next Event at which the power units are required. All such power units must remain within the team's designated garage area when not fitted to a car and may not be started at any time during an Event other than when fitted to a car eligible to participate in the Event.
f) If any of the FIA seals are damaged or removed from the relevant components within the power unit after they have been used for the first time those parts may not be used again unless they were removed under FIA supervision.
g) If a power unit or any of the six components within it are changed in accordance with Article 34.2 the power unit components which were replaced may not be used again during any future qualifying session or race with the exception of the last Event of the Championship.
28.5 Only power units which have been homologated by the FIA in accordance with Appendix 4 may be used at an Event during the 2014-2020 Championship seasons.
28.6 For the purposes of this Article only, an Event will be deemed to comprise P3, the qualifying practice session and the race.
a) Each driver may use no more than one gearbox for six consecutive Events in which his team competes. Should a driver use a replacement gearbox he will drop five places on the starting grid at that Event and an additional five places each time a further gearbox is used.
Any replacement gearbox will only be required to complete the remainder of the Event in question.
Unless the driver fails to finish the race (or is unable to start the race for reasons other than a penalty imposed by the stewards) the gearbox fitted to the car at the end of the Event must remain in it for the remainder of the six race sequence. Any driver who failed to finish the race at the first, second, third, fourth or fifth of the six Events for reasons which the technical delegate accepts as being beyond the control of the team or driver, may start the following Event with a different gearbox without a penalty being incurred.
A gearbox will be deemed to have been used once the car's timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane.
b) If a driver is replaced after the first, second, third, fourth or fifth Event of a six Event period, having finished the first, second, third, fourth and fifth Events, the replacement driver must use the gearbox which the original driver had been using.
c) After consultation with the relevant team the FIA will attach seals to each gearbox prior to it being used for the first time at an Event in order to ensure that no significant moving parts can be rebuilt or replaced.
d) Change gears and dog rings (excluding final drives or reduction gears) may be changed under supervision for others of identical specification at any time during an Event provided the FIA technical delegate is satisfied there is evident physical damage to the parts in question and that such changes are not being carried out on a systematic basis.
For 2014 only, on five occasions per driver, a competitor need not provide evidence of physical damage in order to carry out these changes. Furthermore, the use of parts of identical specification will not be necessary when the changes are being made in accordance with Article 9.6.2 of the F1 Technical Regulations.
e) Other than under d) above, a replacement gearbox will also be deemed to have been used if any of the FIA seals are damaged or removed from the original gearbox after it has been used for the first time.

There seems to be some confusion over Gradable sections and Pass/Fail sections. Please take a minute to read the information below and let the Academic Support and Facilities Resources office know if you still have questions.
The types of grading for a section are as follows:
- Standard Grading – this is your traditional letter grades. Example: A, B, C, D, F
How does Standard Grading look in Banner:
- Pass/Fail Grading – this is a grade of Pass or Fail ONLY.
How does Pass/Fail Grading look in Banner:
When is the gradable box unchecked in SSASECT?
This box is ONLY unchecked when a section does not carry any CREDIT or BILLING HOURS.
Examples of this are Discussions and Non Credit Labs. It should be noted that these sections still contain a Grade Mode.
How do I know what sections need to be marked Gradable in Banner?
*Reminder* all sections that the students do not receive credit for (Discussions, no credit labs, etc.) the Gradable box needs to be unchecked on SSASECT for each CRN. This will make sure the students will not receive any credit for the section. Please contact ASFR for a report of sections with the Gradable indicator box checked.

If you are looking for an exceedingly affordable hill two wheeler that doesn't murder you out there, then the XR-75 is for you. It may not be the best mountain two wheeler to arrive from Mongoose, but it is certainly one that anyone can get and travel. This two wheeler is a people-pleader and any person, children or mature persons, looking for simple delights will surely lap it up.
In more ways than one, the two wheeler is understated from the phrase proceed contemplating that it is the most rudimentary of packages suggested by Mongoose. While it may not appear like much to start with, the manufacturers have planted their signature all over it to guarantee that you relish every second on it. Perfect for beginners in the mountain-biking arena, this is one bike that will shock you, not just by its price tag, but also by what you get for it!
Who Is It For?
The business apparently demarcates this bike for those who love excursion, but aren't really dwelling on the edge. It will get you through your normal dirt and dusty pathways, riding smoothly through bumps and grinds, without dragging off anything spectacular. Perfect for young kids who love to precede places and get their hands & feet soiled, the two wheeler is exactly the sturdy steed they are looking for.
On most terrains, the bike sprints smoothly and that means, you do get more than you pay for. It arrives with a dual-suspension border, making it somewhat strong and, to a large span, quite capable of taking a beating. It is exceedingly light for its dimensions and arrives with 24 or 26 inch wheels, whichever you prefer. The rear derailleur has a 21-speed SRAM MRX/Shimano gear-mechanism that sits on lightweight alloy-based rims and have rudimentary, but exceedingly strong, linear pull brake calipers.
The quick-release seat-post permits for quick adjustments and is somewhat snug to proceed with the rest of the frame. That means you can travel it long and hard, both without letting your body take the damage.
Is It Really That bargain?
This might appear like a bargain, make-do-with version of a hill bike, but nothing that arrives from Mongoose is really like that is it now? The two wheeler is extremely snug and has a flexible aluminum frame that soaks up shocks well. Not only does the bike work well, it also looks good and comes in a kind of hues for people of all ages.
Mongoose has kept their goal assembly in brain when making the XR-75 because it is certain thing that's constructed for normal people. If you are buying it from a store, then that's quite a normal bike-buying deal; If you alignment it online, expect it to arrive in bits & pieces that require assembly. You might need to bring your device box out and get hitting but that's all part of the biking experience. not anything too hard though because the business double-checks that any person can build the two wheeler with little mechanical-work know-how!
The cost of the two wheeler varies between $110 to $150, counting on the size and level of gadgetry you want. Whereas you don't get much, in terms of adorned components or gadgets, you do get a lot of value for your cash. Mongoose has double-checked that this vanilla type of a hill two wheeler furthermore loads enough punch to have you running to the stores.
You can purchase it online from the solace of your living room but do so only if you've experienced the ride before. Nearly all discount shops and most buying shopping centers will convey the XR-75, so it's somewhat very simple to find. Built for those who want to get into the hill biking habit, it will double-check that you can check the waters without throwing yourself into the deep end. The bike nearly actions like a security apparatus for novices, double-checking that you can't do too much to get injure too awful.
The XR-75 is a simple hill two wheeler intended for easy people looking to go to the next level in their biking hobby. Mongoose have hit the ball out of the park, one time afresh, by creating a two wheeler that will give you what you need, keep you protected and assurance that you'll strike those trails time and again!

From 1986 to 2010, North Dakota haying rates about doubled, from $5.28 to $9.73/acre for mowing and conditioning, $4.11 to $9.13/acre for swathing, and from $2.28/acre to $4.18 for raking. That's according to the NASS-North Dakota State University Extension 2010 custom work rates report.
The report also compared corn silage chopping rates of $16.06/acre in 1986 to $46.52/acre or $284.69/hour in 2010. Chopping and hauling average costs 25 years ago were at $19.54/acre; today they average $60.51/acre or $412.30/hour.
Other North Dakota 2010 custom rates, assuming a fuel cost of $2.73/gallon, included per-bale rates of $1.83 for small squares (reported as 250 lbs or less), $8.63 for large squares, $8.23 for round bales 1,500 lbs or less and $9.11 for 1,500-lb+ round bales.

What to bring to mid-late June market and through July?
I never did get my peas and lettuce planted (told myself they'd probably be done for by June 19). Going to be 36(?) tonight and then it climbs to 70/50 range (normal) for the rest of the month. Looking at rain (which we need) tomorrow high 60 but time to start hardening off tomatoes already! Definitely won't have "Independence Day" tomatoes by the 4th of July though.
If the berries survive 30's tonight, I might have blueberries and strawberries - if those aren't finished by June 19. What else can I get in *now* to have in 5 weeks? Now did just get in kale and spinach, too late to seed lettuce, maybe tatsoi and bok choy, arugula, mustard for baby greens? Carrots will take a while, radishes won't. Beets, chard? I'm thinking greens, but worried about bolting. Herbs?
I don't have new bed prepped for potatoes (and had late blight last year so don't want to grow in same spot), but maybe start some in burlap sacks for new potatoes in July?
chard, mustard, turnips (especially salad types) radishes all come to mind as fast crops you can plant now and have in June/July.
If you don't cover your berries you will lose them to frost. This is where row cover on #9 hoops saves farmers thousands of dollars and makes it worth every penny one pays for the stuff
Couldn't find row cover locally, so I put straw/hay back over the berries and tarps over the hoops (see post on covering berries). They got through last night all right (pulled back some of the mulch today) so should survive tonight, just wasn't sure if I should put tarps back over (see other thread) or just leave the mulch since it's not supposed to be quite as cold tonight (though I don't think it got to 32 last night).
Don't have turnip seed, but I'll get out there and start seeding chard, mustard, carrots and radishes. Too late for lettuce, arugula, tatsoi, maruba santoh - even for baby greens?
Soil's still too cold for beans, I do plan on pole beans and bush beans plus edamame once it's warm enough. Last year I sold lettuce and greens through June but put starts in rather than seed, and it was bolting by July. I guess I could spend the money on starts instead of putting in the seed I bought if you think that's better, but I thought maybe starting from seed, varieties ranging from 35 days (Burpee's mesclun mix, Baby's Leaf spinach?) to 45-50 (BS Simpson, Lolla Rossa) to 65 days (Tom Thumb mini-heads) might give me baby greens before bolting? Not planning on romaine or other head lettuce, might throw in some old Salad Bowl seed I have. Maruba Santoh is supposed to be heat tolerant, 35 DTM so if Mei Qing Choi would work then it should too - it shouldn't bolt as long as temps stay over 50 from now on? 1 planting of tatsoi for early market/baby greens?
I also sold a lot of jam last June but since I didn't have the blackberries last summer (drought) the only thing I have is grape jelly - though I do have some frozen blueberries I could make into preserves.
I can bring some tomato starts to fill out the tables but mid-late June is a little late to be planting, by that time last year I just donated my leftovers to the church plant sale. Maybe bring strawberry plants when I renovate the bed in July? As soon as I have room on my shelves (get the tomatoes outside at night next week) I can start squash and cukes - but local nursery sells their starts fairly cheap ($1.19 for 3" tomato, I didn't see squash etc a few weeks ago but know they're coming) so I don't know if I can compete.
I've got people selling their tomato and pepper plants for 75 cents each, and they look good.
Can you put some black plastic down to help warm that soil up? Takes less than 2 weeks for warm it quite a bit.
Be sure you are planting dark seed, not the white seed beans. They tolerate cool soils better.
Kentucky Wonder is dark, but Bush Blue Lake is white. At least the beds I was going to plant them in are raised and on a south-facing slope in an open area (where I had potatoes last year) so should warm up pretty soon - sooner than the flatter area near the house and the woods where all the greens are going. I'll check the soil temp this weekend - couldn't see doing it now with the past couple of cold nights. Even before last night, I can tell you that the soil near the house was cold, since we just dug it up to make mounded beds rather than flat area we keep changing the layout of (I never remembered exactly where the rows were the year before, so we'd walk all over the entire thing, so this year dug raised beds and lowered paths - I still have to mulch the paths - so I can make them permanent and not compact them).
I plant Contender and Provider, one of these are dark. both are shorter time to harvest.
soil temps aren't affected by air temps as much, you can have a few cold nights and warmer days, and the soil temps will stay up. Get the thermometer out.
Didn't get out back to measure temp where I plan on planting the beans before it started raining, but stuck the thermometer in the raised beds by the house while I was pulling all the mulch off the strawberries. 55 degrees (2 places, not in the shadier spot where I planted kale, but overcast today so thermometer wasn't in the sun either). So maybe the other beds are (almost) 60 - I'll test tomorrow when it's sunny (but stand there so thermometer is in my shadow). Could maybe plant the pole beans (which I wanted to go in first anyway)? Kentucky Wonder says it's 65 DTM so won't have them for June markets but might have them before the end of July.
Next year I'll order Provider from Fedco (50 DTM). Though for bush beans, Bush Blue Lake is 55 DTM (Burpee) to 57 DTM (Fedco) so how much earlier can you get the dark beans in? We like the taste (and productivity) of BBL.
Royal Burgundy sounds fun to try - "magic beans" start out purple and turn green when you cook them!
I love my royal Burgundy, they are SO easy to pick and very pretty. Their blooms are even different colored than regular green beans. The purple and yellow beans are the ones that I let the younger grandkids pick.
The purple beans are harder to sell since people aren't aware of them. They expect the beans to remain purple and they don't. I call them 'greenbeans for dummies' when they turn green, you can eat them. Purple beans also have dark seeds.
I've canned them for several years now and will continue, they are better tasting and more tender.
Beans germinate at 50-55, so you should be OK.
I did some research before posting that. 1 page said 60, but several others stated 50-55. I've planted lower than that with success. Like I said before, I plant the dark seeded beans before the white seeded ones.
I've NOT planted pole beans, never had enough time to get trellising for them.
I've got the fence in place and I'm going to put them where I had the potatoes last year. Since we're not expecting any more rain until mid-end next week, I've got a little while - maybe I'll start soaking them Monday or Tuesday to give them a head start. I don't have any irrigation down there. Thanks
Soil is really warm down there - even under the mulch hay where I had the potatoes it's about 56. The rows where I wanted to plant the edamame (actually more like trenches - where the tomatoes drowned in 2011), with just weed cover is 70!
But I noticed that areas that are normally soggy with poor drainage aren't now. Not that they're dry, the weeds seem to be doing OK in the trenches, but the flatter area across the road from there where the manure pile is isn't squishing as I walk on it. And the deep pit at the end of the trellised trenches I filled with chicken manure and sawdust, where I had all the volunteer tomatoes last year b/c it's glacial till underneath and doesn't drain (I never had to water those volunteers last summer) has only a couple small weeds growing in it.
We've had just over an inch of rain this month (TWC says we had 1.5" last month but Dad didn't mention any the night before we got back from vacation so I'm not sure about that day). We got just 1/100" yesterday (supposedly - my rain gauge broke and I haven't replaced it). We're expecting more next week, but of course it's too far away to tell how much - just a 20-30% chance early in the week and supposedly more later. But it worries me that we're getting 1-1.5" when we should be getting 4.5" a month this time of year - it's been below normal for almost a year now, we didn't even get as much snow as normal. Reservoirs and ponds are still looking OK, but our springs aren't running like they normally do - the one that feeds our pond isn't making it all the way there any more, and the one that runs along our driveway (we had to put in a culvert when we built) disappeared a month ago. The only thing that's keeping things green is the snow melt and that won't last much longer.
I'm wondering if I should scale back (though I've spent money on supplies, incl. lumber for hoophouse) this year, just sell my plants and keep a small garden near the house for us. I haven't sent in my fee for market yet. I just don't want to spend $200 for market, $50 for insurance certificate, and bust my butt (and run the well dry) all summer hauling water out back to keep the beans, edamame, 100+ tomatoes and 50 peppers watered and then find (like I did with peppers and onions last year) that it wasn't enough and I don't harvest (m)any.

I'd only grow what grows well for you, and not worry about having everything. You beat yourself up for little profit with items that doesn't grow well.
I've scaled way back and am only attending markets without fees. That way, if I don't make as much, I can walk away. Now this is just a hobby.
I can't find any markets without fees around here. Even the YMCA market that just asked for "donations" last year charges $95 for a 13-week season this year.
Yeah, I won't kill myself with the peppers. I wanted to see if a non-bell sweet would sell here (and DH likes the hot ones so I have to grow a few for salsa) but if they don't grow, they don't grow. The tomatoes and the edamame are more important.
It is hard for people who like to grow variety, like me, to sell! I love watching peppers grow, all the colors shapes, varieties. I have finally sucked it up and agreed with the books that bells sell, jalapenos are good and everything else is pretty much a waste. So we have planted over 200 bells inside and another 200-300 outside go out soon. Yes i am growing some other sweets and hots, just a few dozen each. Grow what sells, grow what you eat.
I don't know why I even started 10 cayenne (and of course they all germinated) - I was going to plant 3, but maybe I won't even do that. I have dried cayenne from 2 years ago. But I planned on 3 serrano (just for salsa), 3-4 hot cherries (they do sell - maybe I should plant 5), 3 hot lemons (just for variety), 3 Hot Portugals (maybe not?), 10 jalapenos, 10 ancient sweets, 12 cornu di toro/sweet banana mix (mixed seed packet).
I had started 10 bells (mixed seed) 8 germinated, 1 damped off this week and another doesn't look good. But they never get all that big for me - and people like to compare sizes/prices with the grocery stores - they want huge green bells! I do have some "stuffing peppers" someone gave me I hope are big - can plant 3 or so of those and hope they're bells. He also gave me some Anaheims so I thought I'd plant 3 of those (if only for ourselves - people here think they're hot).
And then I have the 2 Douglah 7-pots, 3 bih jolokias, and 1 purple serrano I overwintered - those are just for kicks, I don't think DH will even eat one (except for the serrano that I'm growing for the flowers)!
I like growing all different kinds of peppers too, not so much for the colors but for the flavors and levels of heat. Just like I like to try different kinds of tomatoes for the flavors even if they're long-season - though I admit I bought "Mark Twain" just for the name - maybe I should have tried "Abraham Lincoln" this year!
I'm trying to make converts - just like with the tomatoes. Though I think I'll have better luck with the tomatoes.
Thanks, I'll skip Abe then. Hope Mark and Grandma Mary do well for me.
Got the chard, mustard, carrots, lettuce, arugula, tatsoi, maruba santoh and beets in now. A row of dill and some basil sown in the center of cinderblocks next to the overwintered oregano. Netting up around the area where I'm planting edamame, and the tomatoes hardening off. Hot today but looks like storms are holding off til after dinner.
Might seed the cukes and squash tomorrow, still have work to do in the rows for beans (DH weedwhacked but I need to clean it all out and dig out the roots).

FS: Stock Exhaust from '07 Access Cab
Anyone want to play around with modifying a stock exhaust? I just installed the TRD exhaust and will sell my original cheap, only has 11,000 miles. No idea what it's worth, make me an offer. Shipping won't be cheap, like $75 UPS, so keep that in mind.
I'll post a pic eventually, but use your imagination, it looks like a stock exhaust. Will fit DC shortbed or Access Cab regular bed trucks, complete cat back one piece system. |
What do you have to have for it..I get up to Indy a couple times a month, I could pick up.
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 01:16 AM. |

Going to be there this Friday. Good grief it looks like they have a booming beer scene. Any suggestions on the top one or two places? Only going to be there one night.
Check out French Broad and Highland. I think the user maida7 lives there if you want to ping him for more local info.
Greetings from Beercity,USA. Just so happens our club has a pint night on Friday. Club members are meeting at Barley's in downtown Asheville at 6:00 for a few pints. Barley's has a great selection. Hands down the best beer bar in Asheville is the Thirsty Monk. It has 2 floors, the basement is all Belgians the upper floor is all America stuff. Interestion selection of hard to find brews. The best beer store is Bruisin' Ales. Amazing selection. An honorable mention goes to Hops & Vines because they have great beer and also sell homebrew supplies. There are MANY breweries. All the breweries have tasting rooms or bars. My favorite is the Wedge. Good beer and a very artsy scene that is rare in WNC but is alive in Asheville. Feel free to join our club for the pint night. If I can get a pass from my wife, I'll see ya there.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York City rabbi who publicizes claims of child sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community is hospitalized after someone threw an unknown chemical at him.
Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg told The New York Times a man he recognized tossed the liquid in his face as he walked in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section Tuesday.
Police say the two were involved in an "ongoing dispute." No arrest has been made.
Rosenberg runs a website that publicizes child sexual abuse victims in the Satmar Hasidic community.
On Monday, a prominent member of Brooklyn's Satmar Hasidic community, Nechemya Weberman, was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a girl that had come to him for counseling.
Rosenberg says he believed the attack was connected to the verdict. Police say there didn't appear to be any connection.

Weight Discrimination Lawsuits
With the exception of potential plaintiffs in Michigan, Washington DC, Santa Cruz, CA and San Francisco, CA, Madison, WI, Binghamton, NY, and Urbana IL people who have been discriminated against based on their weight have little legal recourse. (See Weight Discrimination Legislation) Federal legislation offers little to no protection against weight discrimination. The Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. § 1983) protects against discrimination by governmental or quasi-governmental entities based on race and national origin, firstly, and gender and illegitimacy, secondly. Discrimination by these entities based on any other characteristic receives deference by the courts as long as the action is rationally related to a legitimate state interest. In practice, few governmental actions fail this test.
People who have been discriminated against based on their weight have attempted to sue under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act (RA) of 1973. See 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. and 29 U.S.C. § 791 et seq. These sections govern disability discrimination by the federal, state and local governments and the private sector and protect against discrimination in employment, public services, and privately owned accommodations. The initial drawback of suing under the ADA and the RA is that a potential plaintiff must claim that he or she is either disabled or "regarded as" disabled in order to prevail. In the past courts that have addressed lawsuits like these have found that overweight or obesity is not considered a disability by itself. However, the ADA Amendments Act has changed this for discrimination based on morbid obesity.
Lawsuits By or Against the Industry and Government
There are numerous bases under which lawsuits may be appropriate by or against a member of the food and beverage industry, or by a city, state, or the federal government. The food and beverage industry may sue a government entity for enacting laws and regulations that the industry finds violates its rights. One example is the lawsuit by the New York State Restaurant Association (NYSRA) vs. New York City et al., which the industry lost in federal court. The NYSRA sued the city to prevent the city from enforcing a menu-labeling law that required food-service establishments that posted nutrition information elsewhere to post the calorie counts of the foods and beverages sold directly on the menu boards. There are also numerous bases under which a private group may sue the food or beverage industry. One example is the Center for Science in the Public Interest's lawsuit against Burger King to stop using trans fat oil in their products or to put warnings on their menus. The government may also bring an action against industry for violating a legislative or regulatory mandate. For example, the Federal Trade Commission brought an administrative action against Kellogg's for its claim that Rice Krispies cereals supported children's immunity.
"Cheeseburger Bills"
Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act and the Commonsense Consumption Act were introduced in the U.S. House and Senate, both seeking to shield fast-food restaurants from being sued by individuals claiming civil damages in 2004 and 2005. The federal bills have failed to pass thus far, but twenty-five states enacted similar legislation shielding fast-food establishments from liability. These laws preempt potential litigants' ability to bring such lawsuits.

Nixon quits Foster's board
PUBLISHED: 20 Aug 2010 12:37:01 | UPDATED: 21 Aug 2010 04:00:09PRINT EDITION: 20 Aug 2010
Former Victorian police chief Christine Nixon has quit her position on the board of Foster's Group.
Ms Nixon joined the Foster's board in April, just before she appeared at the Victorian bushfires royal commission and faced heavy criticism over her role on the day of the deadly Black Saturday bushfires in 2009.
"Christine Nixon has informed the board of Foster's Group Limited of her intention to resign as a non-executive director with effect from 31 August, 2010," the company said in a statement.
Ms Nixon also quit her job as the head of the Bushfires Reconstruction and Recovery Authority last month.
Hours after announcing she was leaving the reconstruction authority, she was admitted to hospital for gall bladder surgery.
Ms Nixon had been under intense pressure to resign from the authority after the royal commission heard she had left the state emergency control centre on the evening of Black Saturday to have dinner with friends at a pub.
She also spent part of the day at the hairdresser and with her biographer, while fires which claimed 173 lives burned throughout the state.

All merchandise is linked to ebay and pressing them will point you to the ebay site. Make sure to confirm if your vendor is an official dealer when acquiring items from a web-based seller. Money saving deals or offers often show up monthly or quarterly, which is why it is hugely suggested that you look out for these bargains as it can certainly allow you to make big savings. Actual stores frequently require to take into account the business expense of running their shop with their item costs, quite often making their products steeply priced. Online shops on the other hand are not subjected to this which probably is why their merchandise are smartly priced. A very good technique of expanding the business enterprise of enterprises and subjecting it to a wider audience is by launching an online shop.
