Tenaska facility to significantly contribute to local economy, jobs and industry
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — A proposed power plant for the Greater Brownsville Borderplex will infuse more than $16 billion into the local economy during construction and over a 35-year operational period as well as maintain a competitive edge in corporate recruitment for the region, according to a recent study.
The study was commissioned by the Brownsville Economic Development Council (BEDC) in support of the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB), which is a stakeholder in the project. In January, Mayor Tony Martinez, the BPUB leadership and Tenaska, a Nebraska-based independent energy company, announced the development of an 800-megawatt (MW) electric generating facility.
The plant is targeted to be fully operational in 2016.
BPUB entered into a development and purchase agreement with Tenaska for a 25 percent ownership interest in the proposed natural gas-fueled electric generating station. Under the agreement, BPUB would be entitled to receive 200 MW of the plant's output, enough to serve approximately 100,000 Brownsville area homes.
Once operational, the electric generating station is expected to become Cameron County's largest taxpayer, exceeding the 2012 taxable value of the top five taxpayers combined.
"This power plant would create 970 direct, indirect and induced jobs during construction and another 150 during operation of the plant," said Jason Hilts, BEDC President & CEO. "It would be an integral piece of our corporate recruitment strategy and is critical for the overall economic development vitality of the region."
"The added generating capacity would place the Brownsville Borderplex in a position to recruit larger companies, especially those destined for heavy manufacturing which can draw up to 300 MW," Hilts said.
The Tenaska plant will be on a 270-acre site at FM 511 and Old Alice Road, which has been designated as part of the North Brownsville Industrial Corridor spanning from the proposed I-69 highway to the Port of Brownsville entrance.
"Instead of buying power from a generating plant somewhere else, BPUB found an option in which our community would receive the benefit of additional jobs, significant local spending and an expanded tax base," said John Bruciak, BPUB General Manager & CEO. "Plus, our agreement ensures adequate and affordable power for our current customers and helps support commercial growth in this area."
Benefactors of the plant's added tax revenue stream include the City of Brownsville, Cameron County, Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District and the Brownsville Navigation District.
"Tenaska is an experienced developer of electric generating plants, having developed approximately 9,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity in the U.S. and internationally," said Mike Roth, Tenaska Director of Development. "This plant would be a modern, efficient and reliable source of local electric energy for Brownsville and create jobs during construction and operation."
By the numbers, the economic impact for the construction phase of the project would provide an estimated:
• 790 direct, indirect and induced jobs ($42,000 average annual salary, plus benefits)
• $126 million in economic activity, $45.6 million of which is value added
• $40.8 million in construction-related payroll, plus benefits
• $820,000 in property taxes
• $770,000 in local sales taxes
• $2.4 million in state sales tax revenue
Post-construction, the economic impact of the plant would provide an estimated:
• 150 direct, indirect and induced jobs ($51,000 average annual salary, plus benefits)
• $75,000 average annual salary, plus benefits for plant operations jobs
• $282 million in economic activity its first year of operation, $164 million of which is value added
• $7.5 to $9.4 million in annual payroll (over the first 10 years)
• $460 million in ad valorem taxes to jurisdictions in Cameron County due to operation and related economic activity (over 35 years)
"In 2009, the Imagine Brownsville Comprehensive Plan identified the lack of adequate electrical capacity as one of the principal constraints for major economic development opportunities," Hilts said. "The proposed Tenaska power plant signals a major step in closing the infrastructure gap."
"Most importantly, it demonstrates how Brownsville is progressively and strategically moving forward."

I'm a patent attorney who enjoys technology of all kinds.
The Patent Pending blog is created and updated by Bob Shaver. I am a partner in the firm of Dykas and Shaver. Our website is at www.dykaslaw.com
phone: (208) 345-1122
fax: (208) 345-8370
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am a patent attorney in Boise, Idaho. I went to law school at the age of 43, and worked in industry as a scientist before that.
My first real job was in the food industry, where I worked as Quality Control Manager for a food processing company in Washington state. The company had 5 plants, and I supervised the QC function in the plants. In that role I gained experience in microbiology, analytical chemistry, new product development, food science, and process technology.
I then worked as a Biologist for a large Washington apple orchard operation. I enjoyed studying that technology, and learned about horticulture, mechanics, plant pathology, chemical thinning, entomology, and qualified for licenses as a Tree Fruit and Statewide Pesticide Consultant.
Lastly, I worked for 12 years as a Scientist at the Hanford Nuclear Site. I started in the analytical chemistry labs at Hanford (PUREX Plant), where plutonium was separated from dissolved reactor fuel rods. I then got involved in developing computer expert systems for hazardous and radioactive waste shipping and handling, inspecting analytical laboratories throughout the United States, and developing software for computer simulation of the Hanford site, with projections of Hanford operations and facility needs for 20 years into the future.
After law school graduation in 1995, I went to work at a Boise patent law office, and in 1999 formed a partnership with Frank Dykas. The firm, now called Dykas and Shaver, presently has four patent attorneys, and we do patent, trademark, and litigation work for clients all over the country. I am a registered patent attorney, and am licensed to practice law in the states of Washington and Idaho, as well as the Federal District Bar for Idaho and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Although my past job titles have been Food Technologist, Horticulturist, Advanced Scientist, I have always worked in science of some kind. As a patent attorney I get to see new technologies every day. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology, a minor in Chemistry, a Master's in Business Administration (M.B.A.), and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Idaho.
My interests include studying history, and especially the history of technology. iIhave quite a library of books on the history of science and technology, especially of the ancient world. I also do as much backpacking as i can, and greatly enjoy family and scout backpacking. Ihave climbed a lot of peaks over the years, and still try to climb a few.

Football: Lyons' Matt Harris stays near home, picks Northwestern
Northlake, 10/21/11--Lion's wide receiver Matthew Harris (left) shakes off Frank Habura of the Leyden Eagles in Northlake, IL on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2011. | Shauna Bittle~for Sun-Times MediaStaying close to home was too much of an allure for Lyons two-sport star Matt Harris to resist.
The standout defensive back/wide receiver and Class 3A state runner-up in the long jump made a verbal commitment to Northwestern after meeting with coach Pat Fitzgerald and his staff Thursday morning.
Harris picked Northwestern over Wisconsin and also received offers from Minnesota and Illinois earlier this spring. Harris said Northwestern is recruiting him as a cornerback.
"I'll stay more close to home there," Harris said. "My family can watch me and I'll have an education that will set myself for life. I'll be set with a Northwestern degree for good after playing for the football team."
Harris also earned offers from several Mid-American Conference schools after having a standout track and field season in the spring. He finished second in the state long jump (23-feet, 8 1/2 inches) to Wheaton North's Zach Gordon and placed 12th in the 110-meter high hurdles (14.91).
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound senior from La Grange will be a bigger two-way threat for Lyons this season after rushing 60 times for 350 yards and three TDs last season while catching 52 passes for 707 yards and four TDs. Harris is entering his third season after leading Lyons to consecutive Class 8A state quarterfinal appearances.
Harris becomes the fourth in-state recruit for the Wildcats, following the state's top quarterback prospect, Maine South's Matt Alviti, and offensive linemen Blake King of Minooka and Tyler Lancaster of Plainfield East, according to Rivals.com.
"Obviously, this is very exciting," Lyons coach Kurt Weinberg said. "I'm very happy for Matt, first and foremost he's a tremendous human being. There were a lot of schools that wanted him. Northwestern does not take kids that are jerks."
Harris will become the second Big Ten player from Lyons in recent years. Former three-sport star Eddie Viliunas (football, basketball, baseball) is entering his senior year this fall as Illinois' projected starting tight end for new coach Todd Beckman. Viliunas was the 2007 West Suburban Silver Conference offensive player of the year.
He is the older brother of recent Lyons graduate and Illinois freshman Alexis Viliunas, who led Lyons to the 2010 Class 4A state volleyball championship and was named 2011 Chicago Sun-Times player of the year.
Harris made at least one unofficial visit to Northwestern before meeting Fitzgerald with his family Thursday. He plans on making an official visit in the fall. Signing day for football recruits is Feb. 6.
"Northwestern stuck out," said Harris, who is undecided about what he'll study. "The players all got along well. They are a big family. I got along with the coaches. That was one thing that stuck out for me."
At the West Suburban 7-on-7 scrimmage June 28 at Addison Trail, Harris said he received four offers from Big Ten schools and wanted make his decision before Lyons opened the season Aug. 24 at Stevenson.
"He wanted to concentrate on his senior football season," Weinberg said. "He did not want to let that looming. It takes the weight (of recruiting) off the rest of his shoulders."

Producer prices in December 2009
January 25, 2010
On an unadjusted basis, prices for finished goods advanced 4.4 percent in 2009, after falling 0.9 percent in 2008.
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved up 0.2 percent in December, seasonally adjusted. This rise followed a 1.8-percent advance in November and a 0.3-percent increase in October.
In December, the increase in the index for finished goods was driven by higher prices for consumer foods, which moved up 1.4 percent. By contrast, prices for energy goods declined 0.4 percent. The index for finished goods less foods and energy was unchanged.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — December 2009" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0066. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

MP3InfoEditor looks good but has functional issues
Look elsewhere for an MP3 metadata editor if you're using Vista or Windows 7.
You probably think of your MP3s as songs, and so they are, usually. But they're also data files, and they contain a lot of information; some of it you can edit. Moo0's MP3InfoEditor lets you edit that information, including Artist, Title, Album, Year, and more, including a Comments field. It can read and write data in a huge range of text-encoding formats (the default Character Set is UTF-8; UTF-16 and UTF-16BE are available, too) and apply data to files in batches. With drag-and-drop and a Keep on Top option, it seems ideal for editing large numbers of files at once. Of course, you have to type in a lot of that data by hand, but autocomplete helps reduce the load, and the best part is, once it's done, it's done. You'll have accurate entries for album, track number, genre, and those other entries that somehow get bungled by online MP3 databases.
MP3InfoEditor's simple interface has a drop-down menu for selecting the type of operation: View & Edit, for changing data to single files, and the multiple file option, which adds check boxes to each of the data fields, allowing you to select just those you want to alter en masse and exclude the rest. It's handy for adding the year to an album without changing the rest of the metadata. Twin drop-down lists let users choose text encoding from a wide range of sets in Chinese, Turkish, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and also several Western sets. The main view displays a variety of editable fields for MP3 information: Artist, Track, Album, Title, and so on. A large button bar labeled Apply Changes starts things rolling.
Unfortunately, Vista and Windows 7 users will find that MP3InfoEditor's Drop Box doesn't work due to a Windows issue, and there's no file browser to take its place. It's in the FAQs if you're interested, but the upshot is you're out of luck. The developer is working on a fix, but until it finds one, we certainly can't recommend MP3InfoEditor anymore, at least not to Vista and Windows 7 users. If you're still using XP, give Mp3InfoEditor a try.

Aaron Cynic writes at Chicagoist:
A family from Hammond, Indiana is suing the Hammond Police department for excessive force after what should've been a routine traffic stop turned violent. Lisa Mahone was driving with her boyfriend Jamal Jones and her two children to Stroger Hospital when Hammond police pulled her over for not wearing a seatbelt. CBS2 reports Mahone admitted to the violation and asked for a ticket so she could continue on her way to the hospital to visit her dying mother.
Though Mahone was the operator of the vehicle and produced valid identification and proof of insurance, police demanded to see identification from Jones as well. Jones informed the officers he didn't have ID, as he recently received a ticket. After attempting to reach into the backseat and produce the ticket from a backpack, the officers drew their guns.
Mahone's 14-year-old son then began recording the encounter with his cell phone and Mahone dialed 911.… Read the rest

The shared on gutter on this two-volume vacation home in Washington state consists of nothing more than a standard pipe and 12 custom brackets. "It was a relatively inexepensive solution" that was upgraded from a Caribbean version, say architect Allan Far
The architects chose industrial-style hot-dipped galvanized steel because of the area's marine heritage—several naval bases are nearby—but also because of its durable nature. "The material should last a pretty long time," Farkas says.

The Port Hadlock Cabin is a perfect example of the firm's objective. Located on a sloping site with a wetlands area, the 1,965-square-foot retreat consists of two volumes: a main house with a bedroom, living area, and screen porch and a guest wing with a bedroom, loft, and playroom. Each volume is topped by a corrugated metal shed roof that slopes to a shared gutter. The firm rejected a conventional water-collection system, however, in favor of a creative design inspired by one firm co-principal John Eggleston, AIA, saw while traveling in the Caribbean.
First, the architects designed the roof of the smaller volume to hang over the larger building by roughly 12 inches, creating a covered exterior walkway between the two buildings. They then cut away about 1/8 of the circumference of a large pipe and attached it to the main house with 12 brackets. Each strap is sandwiched between the 2x6 rafter tails of the main house and attaches to the underside of the guest wing's roof framing. "It's a simple hot-dipped galvanized steel pipe, but the straps were custom-designed and the general contractor found a fabricator," Farkas explains.
A 1-inch-by-1-inch drip tab at the end of the pipe gets the water started. "Otherwise, it has a tendency to run backwards," Farkas says. The water falls into a concrete receptacle that channels it away from the house into a holding cistern, where it slowly releases to the wetlands.

Daredevil #7: Another Great Issue of the Best Superhero Comic Out There
- Posted by Johanna on January 3, 2012 at 10:13 pm
- Category: Superhero Reviews
- CREDITS: written by Mark Waid; pencils by Paolo Rivera; inks by Joe Rivera
- PUBLISHER: Marvel Comics; $2.99 US
'Tis the season for near-death snowbound car accidents caused by runaway deer, I guess. Daredevil, in his guise as Matt Murdock, is taking a group of at-risk blind students on a camping trip. Their bus skids off the road in a blizzard, and Matt has to lead the kids to safety while suffering the effects of a head injury.
I really love how writer Mark Waid incorporates Matt's blindness in every possible way. It's no longer something that he puts on as part of his secret identity or a visual shorthand of sunglasses and a cane — instead, there are a number of key facts revealed through his greater acuity. On the first story page, for example, Matt is aware that their bus driver is lying to him because he can hear his pulse rate increasing.
Waid's also particularly creative in finding environments that actually challenge Matt's super-senses; in this case, it's a snowstorm, which acts the same way radar chaff does in confusing the signals he's receiving. Artist Paolo Rivera is also at the top of his game, with striking and distinctive images — Matt's suit, shredded during the accident, revealing bits of his Daredevil costume — and layouts, as when he captures the chaos of a vehicle crash through various inset panels.
Waid's dialogue is stunning, clever and revealing. I particularly liked the flashback quips about Iron Man — but I always like Marvel characters being light-hearted about Iron Man, because that's the personality I like for that character. More importantly, this comic shows Daredevil being heroic in a truly unexpected fashion. Instead of Man vs. Villain, as we see so often in superhero comics, this is Man vs. Nature. The relentless cold is a much more implacable foe than even the Kingpin, and while I enjoyed the last couple of issues and their big bad supervillain conflicts, this one was even scarier.
I was totally involved in the story, feeling like I got more than my money's worth, only halfway through the book. There were lots more surprises to come, some shocking — the revelation about the gasoline — and some wonderfully reassuring — nope, no spoilers here. It's even quietly seasonal, with a reminder of the season of hope.

January 4, 2012 at 6:56 AMI really don't have that much to add to your review Jo, but this is easily my favorite Marvel comic right now!
- Johanna Says:
January 4, 2012 at 7:09 AMMine too! It's neat to read something so well done, something that explores danger and grit but is still ultimately positive.
- James Schee Says:
January 4, 2012 at 8:43 AMHuh the first time I read it, I didn't even realize the kids were supposed to be blind too. I thought the scene wher he covered their eyes was not just to protect them from the weather but for his ID as well.
It has been such an interesting run so far, I never really cared much for DD before. I had enjoyed a Rucka written take on him and Elektra in the Ultimate line, but this has really brought me in. The single issues are worth me getting, as they are worthwhile each time, not just feeling like a non-fulfilling slice of a bigger story.
- Johanna Says:
January 4, 2012 at 9:03 AMThat confused me the first time through, until I realized that the bus on the first page says "School for the Blind" on it, and he reiterates their status in the party flashback sequence.
You're right, this series shows how any character can be interesting with the right writers and artists. I never cared one way or the other about Daredevil before, and now, I want to know more. And good point about the serialized status. I hadn't even thought about that, but I really enjoy reading this every month, so much so that I don't want to wait for a collection.
- Reeve Says:
January 4, 2012 at 12:36 PM'Tis the season for near-death snowbound car accidents caused by runaway deer, I guess.
They also both have the main characters making snow angels on the cover! Hmm…
Both sound like great issues, though.
- Dean Peterson Says:
January 4, 2012 at 6:28 PMIt's been hard to care about Daredevil for years, I mean…everything was essentially about how sucky his life was.
- Grant Says:
January 4, 2012 at 7:53 PMI also enjoy when they use Daredevil's blindness in interesting ways.
I remember one story where Matt was defending a mobster accused of murder. Matt was convinced he was innocent because he could tell by listening to the guys heartbeat that he wasn't lying. After Matt gets the guy off, he finds out the mobster had a pacemaker which helped to fool Matts hearing and the guy actually was a murderer.
- tom beland Says:
January 7, 2012 at 8:55 PMThat was a Frank Miller story called "Something About a Gun." I've really been digging Waid and Rivera's on this so far. It's beautiful work.

History of the Public Sector Ombudsman
For as long as government has existed, guaranteeing citizens fair and equitable treatment under the law has been an issue and various protections have been utilized over the years. In modern times the public sector Ombudsman, where instituted, has been a successful and valuable guarantor of citizens' rights. By impartial and independent investigation of citizens' complaints, it has provided an informal and accessible avenue of redress.
The first public sector ombudsman (OM-budz-man, -buhdz-, -boodz-) was appointed by the Parliament of Sweden of 1809. The Swedish Constitution divided and balanced power between the king and Parliament with the king having executive powers and Parliament retaining legislative power. The ombudsman, who was appointed by and responsible to Parliament, was to protect individual rights against the excesses of the bureaucracy.
This first ombudsman's office, since its creation, has been the model for the public sector ombudsman, and set the definition that is still accepted today: a public official appointed by the legislature to receive and investigate citizen complaints against administrative acts of government. These acts may or may not include the administrative acts of the judiciary or the legislature, depending upon the statute.
The ombudsman concept spread through Europe and to this continent with the first offices being established in the United States in the mid 60's. This was a time in the United States when exposure of government secrecy and scandal, and when movements such as civil rights and good government created a political atmosphere more favorable to openness, and to establishing recourse for the aggrieved.
Hawaii established the first public sector office in 1967. Since then a number of states, counties and municipalities have followed suit by establishing offices of general jurisdiction.
The ombudsman movement in the United States has also been characterized by offices that represent a departure from the Swedish model. These variations would include offices with general jurisdiction but appointment by a governor or mayor, legislative offices with special jurisdiction such as corrections, and single agency ombudsman with statutory authority.

But like the StarNews mentioned today, Berger so often railed about these sorts of behind closed doors shenanigans, and most recently in his six page email, but he participated freely in the meeting. If Berger was okay with the content of the meeting, stayed in his seat and didn't get up and open the closed door, it must have been okay, right? Berger does no wrong. Ever.

Home Preservation Continued - Roasted Tomatoes for Cindy
I made a batch which we scarfed down and did a second one which produced those 4 half pint jars. They'd be really nice to wrap a bow around as Christmas gifts - that stuff is great any way I've tried it - excellent just added to pasta as is. See the harvest from yesterday? Will be ready this weekend. :)
I have done them a couple ways - I followed the recipe in the link below pretty much this year. I shipped fresh rosemary and thyme from the garden on top with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. It works great to just put the unpeeled garlic cloves on top the tomatoes then squeeze out the whole roasted cloves and tuck them in on the edges of each jar. The 2nd batch I added the garlic about half-way thru - it roasted fine in that length of time. My tomatoes were in bigger wedges and it took 5-6 hours to cook them down.
Here is a link that might be useful: Roasted Tomato Recipe
Are you keeping those in the refrigerator or freezer?
I love to roast roma tomatoes! Even in the middle of winter those flavorless grocery store tomatoes turn into a magical treat when roasted. They're great on toasted crostini with goat cheese.
Are you adding acid? I did a quick search on the Harvest forum and you might want to double check over there that it's a safe thing to do especially if you're considering giving them as gifts.
Here is a link that might be useful: canning roasted tomatoes?
Well I did not add acid - I thought tomatoes were already acidic and having cooked them for 6 hours they seemed pretty ready for canning up.
But I am not an expert on this - I can stick them in the refrigerator for good measure for sure. The first batch we just ate up and I only have made 4 jars so far.
What do you add for 'acid' - is this like lemon juice? I certainly understand the need for care in this area - but when I think of the sloppy canning my grandmother did when we were growing up it's a wonder we are even alive today.
I will do some research - I haven't honestly canned a whole lot - mostly jam and jelly and I did do some chutneys and things which would have vinegar in them.
Tomatoes present the threat of botulism if not canned properly. I'm linking another thread from the Harvest forum. Two of the posters ... Readinglady and LindaLou ... are very knowledgeable regarding food preservation.
Jams & jellies are much less likely to create problems. Mold is usually the only thing you have to worry about with them.
Here is a link that might be useful: another thread on canning roasted tomatoes
I am planning on canning tomatoes this year and adding some citric acid. It seems to be easy and inexpensive.
Look at that harvest Cindy! My goodness. Here I am in zone 8b and I've had cherries and that's about it! My tomatoes are growing GINORMOUSLY HUGE but not ripening. We have some tomatoes that look like 3lbs each, but none ripe. It's frustrating, but I think the heat is playing havvoc with them. Last year they were late for unknown reasons...so odd.
I can't wait to can mine! So far I've put up tons of jams and loose syrup jellies and plan for more. I am going fig picking tomorrow too, and hope to can them as well. I just use lemon juice for them.
That recipe said to add 2T lemon juice to each quart so that would be just 1/2 T per half pint and next time I may actually do pints. I have a Ball canning book but it is probably 10 years old and I probably should get a new one.
I put the 4 little jars in the fridge - we will eat them up promptly.
I never take the skins off - they bother some people and just don't really bother me. I didn't know oil was a problem in canning things, though. I did process them for 50 minutes but I don't have a pressure canner.
The stuff tastes GREAT though.
Yes we are at harvest peak here and really my plants don't look very good so it won't go on forever - but I can't tell you how delicious those tomatoes taste. The ones on the counter in the pic are the ones I just picked so they need a couple days to ripen. The golden ones are Kellogg's Breakfast which taste really great with marvelous meaty texture.
Next year I am going to do the multi-colored cherries - they will be great to roast like this and cook up so nicely - I also used to grow a big paste tomato called San Remo - a very similar replacement is called Italian Pompeii that I want to grow again - great big meaty low juice tomatoes that are fabulous for cooking - just takes a few to make a pan of sauce. And productive like you can't believe.
The waiting can be endless but then all of a sudden they turn and there you have ripe tomatoes. :)
I broke down and bought a pressure canner today and a new Ball canning book. Afternoon reading and I'm ready now for anything. I really wanted to do green beans earlier this year and skipped it.
Thx for the advice all - I've been out of the loop on this for too long.
Cindy, I always wanted to try pickled green beans. Have a recipe from Emeril that sounds so good. Maybe I'll pull out the canner and try it with my fall harvest.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lemon Rosemary Pickled Green Beans
I am giving the roasted tomatoes a try this year, too. So far, with DH gleefully eating about 4 tomato sandwiches a day, we don't have a lot of leftovers. But that means I can experiment with very small batches in the toaster oven until I figure out what works best for me. Although I've been trying to limit the number of seeds in my version, I noticed the recipe for the roasted tomatoes has lots of seeds. I heard that tomato seeds can make things taste bitter. When you eat the roasted cherry tomatoes with seeds, do you notice any bitterness?
The seeds don't really bother me - but I don't use cherry tomatoes. What I do it cut the big tomatoes in half between the stem and blossom end and squeeze over the sink - most of the seeds come out and it's really easy.
Then I cut each half in quarters or halves depending on how big they are.
Another great thing to do with them is make soup - add skim milk or part half and half or whatever you like and whirl with a stick blender. I plan to do that in the winter with the ones I've canned.
Your tomato crop looks sooo good. Wish I could grow them here but it's just too much bother between the possibility of frost and the critters that get them.
The roasted tomatoes sound really good and I may try that if I get some good ones at the farmer's market. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh my can I come for dinner? How great does that look!
I have another batch in the oven which I think should yield about 3 pints - it feels good to clear some off the counters since I brought in another big container from the garden this morning.
I will have to read the directions on my pressure canner next.
I made scalloped tomatoes for lunch where you toss them with bread croutons and top with parmesan - boy was that good. Another winner way to enjoy the bounty.

The Phil's dropped another one today, this time to their Pennsylvania neighbors, the Pirates. Adam Eaton got the call and threw pretty well allowing three runs through five innings, but one of the most potentially potent offenses in baseball was unusually quiet, managing only one run from the bat of Brennan King in the bottom of the eighth.
It's a touch disappointing seeing the Phil's fall to a 7-12-1 record in the spring, but I'm just going to pretend that they're getting all of the losses out of the way in the spring in prep for a 162-0 record come the regular season. So my question for the moment is going to go back to the pitching staff, the single part of the team that's been the perennial sore spot since the last playoff run so many years ago.
The problem this year is two-fold: Too many starters and zero in the way of quality middle relief. My earlier advocation for Brett Myers potentially taking over as the team's closer has been put on ice. The Phil's brass wants Myers to start and even though Brett entertained the idea, Flash has passed his physicals and, barring any further injury, will be the team's closer.
Okay so here's what we have so far: Garcia, Moyer and Hamels are, without question, not going to the pen in any fashion; Myers would be willing if asked, but unless it's some kind of dire emergency he won't be in the pen either. That leaves Adam Eaton, who already stated openly that he plans on being a starter, and Jon Lieber. My question to the Phil's brass is: Why don't you stick Lieber in middle relief and see what happens? Think about it, having an arm like Lieber's in the pen could drastically cut down on the wear and tear put on Flash, helping him stay fresher deeper into the season and I think Lieber could hold up if he had to pitch two or three innings every few days. It would also eliminate any need to scramble should one of the five starters get injured, Lieber could just slip right back into the rotation.
Jon Lieber's been in the bigs for a while, I'm sure he wants to play on a championship team no matter what it takes. I'm also sure he's got enough confidence in his teammates to think that this team has the potential to be a World Series contender. He's already seen Brett Myers offer up his services to the bullpen, should they be required, so I think he would probably be a team player and follow suit without putting up too much of a stink.
This situation is probably just crazy enough to work and I honestly think Lieber would perform better in the pen than anyone they could get in a trade for him, his numbers weren't exactly out of this world last year, and top notch middle relief isn't always so easy to come by... I suppose only time will tell what Uncle Charlie's got up his sleeve, he hasn't even felt the need to announce his opening day starter yet. He says he knows who'll throw on April second, but just hasn't felt like sharing. Maybe we're all under-estimating the old boy, maybe he's got the whole staff from opening day starter all the way through Flash finishing up planned out and he's just waiting for the right time to share with all the Phillies' faithful

How often do you clean your machine......
and change the sewing needle?
The reason I am asking is that about 10 years ago I gave my sister a nice sewing machine and showed her how to clean it and told her to be sure and change the needle frequently. I even bought her lots of different sized needles and would ask, when I thought about it, if she had changed the needles. She is a quilter and has made at least three quilts a year since I gave it to her.
I went to visit last week and she said she wanted to "look" at her machine because it wasn't doing as well as she thought it should. I couldn't believe how much lint was packed around the bobbin case and in other nooks and crannies. I asked her when the last time she cleaned and oiled it.......NEVER, was her answer. She did say she remembers to change needles a couple of times a year.
I sewing a little bit and told her it needed to go in for a thorough cleaning and oiling by a professional. She couldn't remember where she put the machine manual. She said she would take it in as soon as she finished the quilt she was working on. (It is just in the planning stage.) I told her the machine would not last another week and unless she took it in, she may as well plan on getting a new machine. (She has plenty of money but won't spend it on things she gets pleasure out of.) She did take it in. She would rather loan it to bums and relatives who will never pay her back.
I told her she should have it serviced at least once a year and she fussed and fussed about spending the money.
I guess my long point is......take care of your sewing machines!
I clean the machine often and change the needles as needed. I try to keep my machines in good working order but have had them cleaned and serviced by the professionals (when I deemed it was time for a tune up - it was never on a yearly schedule as I said I keep them in as great a working condition as I can). Funny how some people won't spend the money on a tune up for their machines and get upset when they have to be serviced and end up with a large bill due to neglect. As for the manuals I have preached it before keep the manual with the machine or in a place where you will always know where it is....they are worth their weight in gold but some people don't realize it until they need a book to reference to.
I guess we are teaching our second grade Diva something because as soon as she arrives, she checks our machines & if there is any sight of lint, SHE proceedes to clean them.
She doesn't oil but if you have to baby sit, you can occupy her forever cleaning. She is such a perfectioness at it too.
As a quilter, I know the lint and bits of threads that come from small fabric parts, so I clean my machine several times while making a quilt, getting lint out of the bobbin case and areas around, on the outside I try once a month to wipe down and check general workings. this new machine I baby, as it is a Diva on it's own, so far gone into the shop for "check up" once a year, I change needles after each quilt project is finished, learned a long time ago that needles are cheap and need to be changed, a dull or burred needle can pull on threads, weaken stitches. So yes get this "dear close friend" in top shape or you will be upset if you want to sew and "she" can't Rene
p.s. Joan, I bet that Granddaughter will sew up a storm in the years to come. She has style..
I have a miniature attachment set for my vacuum and use it after I finish each project. Once or twice I've taken off the feed-dog plate and vacuumed under there too.
I find fleece really builds up in the machine.
If I change needle sizes for a project and I don't think the needle coming out of the machine is too worn, I'll save it. Someone on this foruum made an excellent suggestion: take a tomato pincushion and mark sections with permanent marker with needle sizes. Then you can save partially used needles here and keep track of the sizes.
I clean my machine myself quite frequently,and it never needs oiling.I don't take it in every year for service,but do take it every couple years.I do change my needled often as well.I keep the manual in the sewing machine desk drawer.It drives me crazy when people try to sell a machine,but have no idea where the manual is.My serger manual is in a drawer next to the serger.
We keep the manuals for all our appliances as well.Dh has a file in with all the house hold papers that hold the manuals for the fridge,stove micro etc.They've helped us out more than once.
Rene, The Diva isn't my grandchild. Susan doesn't have any children. The diva belongs to a niece 3 months older than Susan. I made the mistake last week of saying I had no grandchildren & she very quickly said "I am your grandchild". Guess I'd better quit denying her because she was offended my my remark. I really don't know how a grandmother feels but I don't think I could love a biological one any more.
I didn't state how often we clean but since the Diva mimics everything she sees us do, you get the idea she's seen it done often. As far as oiling machines that require oil, oil evaporates just as quick sitting up as in use so using or not using has no bearing on how often to oil. My serger says "At the begining of each day you use it on the loopers moving parts".
I'm obsessive about cleaning the lint around the bobin case. Usually once a month I remove the plate that's on top of the feed dogs and clean really good there. I oil the bobbin case and parts I can easily reach once a week or every two depending on the sound of the machine and how much I've been sewing. Once or twice a year I take it apart and oil and lube everything the manual says to.
Great answer about your grandchild, Joan. She must really be something.
I have multiple machines, most are task specific (serger, blindstitch, button sewer, walking foot, needle feed, and rotary take-up), all but one are industrial models; many are now termed "vintage". I would say I tend to clean them (on average) once a month, but that depends on what I've been sewing, too. Sometimes I do really dirty/gritty awning repairs, sometimes I'm working with clean, new product, sometimes with really "linty" fabric.
If one of my machines hasn't been used in a long time, the first thing I do is give it a dusting, a thorough oiling, and check the stitch length and thread tension. As a matter of habit, the first thing I do when I start a new job is check the needle size and condition. Always!
I am a stickler about oiling, too. Many of my machines are quite old (50-100 yrs.) and require very regular oiling. That's very common in elderly industrial equipment. The manual for my Willcox & Gibbs industrial rotary take up (c.1943) recommends a complete oiling every 4 hrs.! My brand new Juki sits in a pan of oil and never requires it.

Monarchs enter sub-state as No. 8 seed

E-Mail This Story
By KLINT SPILLER
Thomas More Prep-Marian volleyball coach Natausha Dreher is aware her team is 3-28, but she said that's no reason for her girls to hang their heads.
"I don't think there's a single girl out there that would say 'I'm glad we are 3-28,' but they are growing and they are learning," Dreher said. "If we sit there and wallow about our record, we are not going to expand as a team."
The Monarchs head into the Class 3A sub-state on Saturday at Hoisington as the bottom seed and will face No. 1 seed Holcomb (28-7) at 2 p.m.
Dreher doesn't want her girls to back down from a challenge, and because of that, the Monarchs aren't focused on simply contending with Holcomb. They want to upset the Longhorns.
"As a coaching staff and players, we are all on the same page -- take down Holcomb," Dreher said.
TMP played Holcomb once before on Oct. 6 at a tournament in Scott City and lost 25-17, 25-12.
In order to get to state, TMP likely will have to beat three 20-win teams, because if TMP gets past Holcomb, it will face the winner of Cimarron (26-9) and and Scott City (21-14). On the other side of the bracket, the top seeds are Hoisington (28-8) and Lakin (26-9).
"Ultimate goal: get to state. We are just going to tear them down one at a time," Dreher said. "This week, we have learned Holcomb like the back of our hand. While yes, we are focusing on these other teams, we've got to complete step No. 1 first."
The Monarchs have undergone film study all week, watching Holcomb and recording their tendencies. Dreher said her squad hopes to exploit Holcomb's weaknesses.
"The girls have these folders where they break down the whole team," Dreher said. "They break down the defense, they break down the setters, they break down the hitters, they break down everything. They really got into that (Wednesday)."
The season has been a long one, but Dreher has encouraged an upbeat attitude. With a squad composed of predominately underclassmen, the Monarchs have focused on getting better each week.
"We are a young team, and with some of us, it's their first year playing on varsity," sophomore middle hitter Kaylor Gottschalk said. "It's a big difference from middle school."
Gottschalk said there are motivational quotes posted throughout their locker room that have helped them stay positive.
"We have been thinking about that, and if we practice harder, we can succeed," she said.

What movie characters (not necessarily the actors playing them but the characters themselves) do you have a crush on? Animated characters count too. :) For me, it's:
Janis Ian from "Mean Girls"
Magenta from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
Rachel Griffith's character whose name I can't remember from "Muriel's Wedding"
That's it for now...
I had a crush on Cedric Diggory (I'm such a geek), another one on Bassanio from The Merchant of Venice, and a gigantic crush (still going) with Dr. Robert Chase (from House M.D., it's a TV show, not a movie, I know, but it's my biggest platonic crush ever).
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
yes! I liked magenta too!
I don't have any movie crushes but I still like Denise from the Cosby Show. <3 <3
you always condemned me and your lovers condemned me
i stood speechless
reality's jovial
hehe Hermione in the HP movies.
^^:blush: kinda stupid.
Umm other than that....Jean Grey in the X-men movies.
Hehe, yeah, Hermione for me too ^.^
~I love goodluck rubs ;P
^ finally someone else with a HP crush. We're such freaks, lol.
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
We're a special breed.
THa ha yeah I like have a crush on Hermione too and have for a while... umAlice from The L word....and Padme from the Star wars prequels. (I pretty much have a huge crush on Natalie Portman, so yeah)...Oh and I almost forgot Paulie from Lost and Delirious*Huge Crush*
Paulie was awesome, capital A capital WESOME
I'm afraid to admit this, because I don't even watch the show, but *drum roll* Naruto. that's about it. I had a crush on the new peter pan, but I've kind of outgrown it.
"A friend is someone who bails you out of jail; a best friend is someone who stands in the cell next to you and says 'that was freakin' awesome'"
-Dr. Jamie Morris
igh art---syd (the charecter shes soooo pretty)
loving annabelle--annabelle (yeah that charecter was pretty)
Omg I can't believe I forgot to add annabelle to my list!
I had a crush on Clementine from "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." She was pretty damn cool, even if she was screwed up. I have a thing for girls with died hair...
OMG, you are so right about Clementine! The character and the actress (Kate Winslet is amazing... sigh)
These are TV shows, not movies, I have a few, and some of it makes no sense, 'cause the characters couldn't stand each other. Quentin and Barnabas Collins, Angelique, Josette Du Pres, and Victoria Winters from Dark Shadows, Mr. Spock from Star Trek, and Deanna Troi from the later Star Trek.
I'm old school. I haven't had a TV connected in over 12 years, and I'm not going to be watching again, unless I happen to be somewhere, where there is one playing, and like I'll be paying attention?
I don't go to movies, either. I try to ignore the main media. I have better things to waste my money on.
Elizabeth Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean!!!!! Hot as a femme governor's daughter or a butch stowaway! ^.^
~I love goodluck rubs ;P
oh god, yes!!!
I have one that's from TV, not a movie, but Ziva (Cote de Pablo) and Abby (Pauley Perette) from NCIS
I speak fluent redneck
Don't apologize for calling me Sir
Far hotter as a butch, if I may say so myself.
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
OMG WET ANDROGYNOUS KEIRA KNIGHTLEY!!!! hottttt....
Yay for androgeny
good for you
good for me
I decided to take a peek in the closet.
What a surprise to find myself hiding inside!
Carl (off of Carl squared)
Cerdric Diggory off of Harry Potter
I'm sure thwere are others...I just can't think of any...
Courage is contagious... be strong, and soon you won't be standing alone.
*Ahem*....Gilbert Cocteau...From 'Kaze to Ki no Uta'.
And if ever I should encounter a male version of Estella Havisham (Great Expectations)....Then I'd be a miserablely happy man.
And I thought I stood alone about liking Cedric. I have a new one: Keith from Scrubs *drools*
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
In my opinion, the very SEXIEST movie character in the ENTIRE world was Lydia from 'Beetlejuice'. Not only do I have a huge crush on that sweet gothy character, the actress portraying her is the love of my life *French kisses Winona Ryder*. Laugh if you must, but I always was in love with Janet Weiss from "Rocky Horror Picture Show"…much different than Lydia, but gorgeous all the same. Although it sickened me that she was played by Halle Berry [nothing wrong with Halle, just bad casting] I adore Storm from the X-Men movies because of how GREATLY I LOVE her in the comics…Jean, too…and probably Kitty, also. *meows*
Evey Hammond from V for Vendetta. But when I was 11 I had a major crush on Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter book series.
V is the bomb, he blows with anarchy!!!
Two words: Willow. Rosenburg. I am SOO in love with Willow. And also Faith. And Spike. And Giles, but he's old so he doesn't count.
As for Non-Buffy characters, Jessica from "Kissing Jessica Stein," Cameron from "House," Elizabeth Swan, Hermione Granger... a coulple more but I can't think of them.
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
Yes! That makes like 3 peeps for Hermione!
YESSSS!!! *hugs* Willow is amazing!!! And, looking back on it now, she's actually pretty damn hot. Faith, though... it is IMPOSSIBLE to not notice the hotness of Faith the first time around. <3333
I have to say, I wrote that comment before I watched most of season three... having watched season three... Faith is definately WAY hot... I like her more than Willow now. =) She and buffy make a cute couple xD
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
Willow's hot. :nod: Very good pick. I like.
I like Keira Knightly in the movie "Domino". Sexy.
I am quite in love with Darlene's character from Roseanne. I've seen every episode 2-6 times. I used to have a list to track the episodes that she wasn't in. That way, I really wasn't all that upset if I missed those. That was the only way I was every able to get homework done...
Here are some close seconds...
Marla from Fight Club
Kat from 10 Things I Hate about You
Roberta from Now and Then
Amelie from Amelie.
Ellie from About a Boy
"Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you..." John Lennon
Ooh marla! The actress who played her is in the new HP movie (as Bellatrix Lestrange). So we have more hotties in HP :)
Maybe not a movie, but I like Ashley from South of Nowhere. Holy shit, attractive.
glad someone else said kat from 10 things i hate about you.... julia stiles is well... AMAZING!!
i'm in love with shane's character on the L word...
michelle rodriguez makes any character she plays look hot too...
i could go on and on...
:gasp: OMG how could I have forgotten Shane/??????? Shane is practically quintessential to lesbian crushes! (practically because not everyone loves her, but damned near to all)
from Buffy!
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent-Eleanor Roosevelt
Not a movie, but of course Shane from The L word. I also like Bette. As for movies, its definately Paulie from Lost and Delirious and Elizabeth in Pirates of the Carribean. I also like Darlene from Roseanne and Claude(Allison Folland) and Lucy (Leisha Hailey) from All over me. And just the tiniest crush on Angelina Jolie. But then again, who doesnt?
Always had a thing for Willow, but I definitely think Natalia Tena(Tonks from Order of the Phoenix) goes into the "hot" category.
"There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that"
ooh! i haven't seen tonks yet! got to look her up now. her description sounds pretty hot though. :)
"It's like Dillinger once told me, 'It's always darkest just before they turn on the lights!'"
is it bad that i think bellatrix lestrange is hot?
"It's like Dillinger once told me, 'It's always darkest just before they turn on the lights!'"
agreed! there's nothing hotter than a flat-out bad guy. Seriuosly.
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
Seriously! Well, bad girl, really. I say again: Eliza Dushku as Faith.
And did I mention Grahm from But I'm a Cheerleader!
Megan: "Cheers are supposed to be simple, make people feel good."
Graham: "Cheers make girls do stupid cartwheels. Orgasms make people feel good."
-But I'm a Cheerleader
Okay, it's a bit gruesome.
AND it is gratuitous
AND it is demeaning to women
BUT that being said, Cherry, the Go-GO dancer with the gun for a leg.
I don't have words for that...
I decided to take a peek in the closet.
What a surprise to find myself hiding inside!
I wanted to see that sooo badly!!
I mean a gun for a leg?? That itsself is hot!
I used to have a major crush on Sara from CSI.
"She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for"
-The Click Five "Just the Girl"
Frodo and Samwise :D
- One Nation, Under Darkness, with liberty and justice for white, heterosexual, rich, Christian men
Bernard the elf from The Santa Clause.
I wanted him to come to my house and whisk me away to the North Pole. We would live together and I would get to fly Santa's sleigh and play with the elves who freed Santa from jail with tinsel.
Yes, I had this very well thought out at 9 years old.
Memories....The Santa Clause=Best Christmas Movie EVeR!!!

County Council strengthens support for rural Hampshire
Wednesday, 26 March 2014
A successful 'village agent' scheme in Hampshire could be expanded as the County Council strengthens its commitment to supporting rural communities in the most cost-effective and innovative ways.
Delivered in partnership with Age Concern Hampshire, the County Council-funded scheme covers 23 villages where volunteer agents help older and vulnerable residents to access advice and support services.
The scheme is part of a rural delivery strategy to address issues such as isolation and loneliness, transportation, community resilience, economic development and communications.
At their latest meeting, on Monday 24 March, the County Council's Cabinet discussed priorities prior to consultation with district councils and key partner organisations.
Further support for rural communities to tailor their existing transport options to better meet the needs of residents without cars, is also high on the agenda, with additional support for self-help and volunteering. It is also proposed to strengthen ties with the Church and other religious organisations, whose valuable role is recognised.
County Council Leader, Councillor Roy Perry said: "With 85 per cent of Hampshire being rural, we need a strategy that helps rural areas thrive and flourish.
"The population in rural Hampshire is ageing faster than the county as a whole, creating higher demand for our services. Through effective collaboration with our partners, we are ensuring that resource is targeted to where it is needed the most and delivered in the most cost-effective way. The County Council provides support to rural communities in various ways; from grants to make village halls more accessible, to helping village shops to expand their businesses, and the invaluable support of village agents in helping more vulnerable residents in our communities."
Cabinet agreed a budget of £400,000 for 2014/2015 for rural initiatives to be used to maximise partnership working and provide match-funding where appropriate. This includes support for small community grants in the next financial year.
Recognising the impact that access to superfast broadband has in rural Hampshire, the County Council has already made available a total of up to £15 million to enable the market to be extended to 95 per cent of premises by the end of 2017. Cllr Perry said that even though broadband roll out is the responsibility of commercial providers, the County Council wants to do all it can to ensure provision is available.
Recent flooding events have also highlighted the ability of communities to identify and deliver solutions to challenges where they were given basic support and the freedom to co-ordinate resources. The County Council wants to build on these skills, expertise and goodwill to strengthen community resilience. Talks with energy suppliers are also taking place to see what can be done to increase resilience against power failures in adverse weather.

Cheap Cheap
Posted By: Ali Anderson
There are some things you don't ever want to go cheap on. Getting a Groupon for cosmetic surgery or hair replacement probably falls in the "you get what you pay for" category. Or imagine the buyer's remorse you'd wake up with the morning after visiting a dyslexic tattoo artist who can't draw anything more than stick figures and happy faces. And one thing I'll never ever go cheap on is a mattress – I think a compelling sociological case study could made for the devastating impact of cheap mattresses on marital stability.
After speaking with Roxanne Benton of Pixel2Canvas last week, I'm adding one more thing to my list of Things to Never Cheap Out On: Canvas.
I know you've seen them – the Groupons that land in your inbox every few months for ridiculously discounted, decent-sized canvases. It's tempting to want to jump at the bait, I know.
Here's the thing: those offers are the equivalent of someone offering you a discounted 60 minute massage…with a spiked club. Allow me to explain:
- Three letters you need to know: OBA (Optical Brightening Agents). Basically, OBAs are chemicals added to low-quality canvas materials to get a brighter surface upon which to print your image. If you start with high quality canvas material to begin with, you don't need OBAs. Whiter whites are great when it comes to my honey's pitted out t-shirts, but when it comes to bleaching out my clients' memories, forget about it. Then again, if you like that vintage-y, cracked and yellowed look to your works of art after 5-7 years on your wall, knock yourself out with the cheap canvas. It'll look great on the walls of your vintage Airstream.
- Archival quality matters: If the Framers of the Constitution and Roxanne Benton had lived at the same time, I'm guessing the curators at the National Archives today would be sitting around smoking their pipes and doing Sudoku puzzles all day instead of painstaking document restoration and preservation. Archival-quality products do cost more, but if you value being able to pass your art down through the generations, then things like UV protectants, OBA-free materials, and Tyvek-backed moisture barriers matter. Even the tiniest details can make the difference for a client.
- You have spinach in your teeth: Everybody has that one friend who will be the one to tell when you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe or lipstick on your teeth when everyone else acts like they can't see it. When you have questions or doubts about the look, quality, color or feasibility of an image on any medium (canvas, metal, etc.), Roxanne is the one who tells you straight up the way it is. Try getting that kind of attention from a discounted canvas website. They will let you walk around with snot hanging out of your nose. Bottom line here: in the canvas business, Roxanne is the girlfriend who's got your back.
As I've journeyed on with SOAR! this past year, I've had to opportunity to learn from some of the best artists, coaches and vendors in the industry. And sharing all of those juicy details with you is the cornerstone of what SOAR! is all about. Add Pixel2Canvas and Roxanne's expertise to your toolbox. As I refine what my product offerings will include in this next year of growth, you can bet I'll be depending on Roxanne at Pixel2Canvas to help me give my clients the absolute best.
Now where did I put that Groupon for 51% off Root Canals?

News about the book
The Library Journal named it one of the Best Consumer Health Books of 2008.
"Duke, a personal trainer to the stars, has devised diet-and-fitness regimens for women. Distinctive to her approach: her encouragement to appreciate our bodies instead of aiming for any ideal that may not exist."
