For Sunday brunch, after a wild Saturday night, nothing beats a good plate of fried potatoes to soak up the leftover feelings of munchies and blah-ness. I'm a big fan of breakfast potatoes and they are awesome when you add a poached egg over the top. After several trials of making breakfast potatoes, this is the one. It is nicely spiced and seasoned to perfection and it will hit that button where you'll rub you tummy after and go "MMMmmm….".
This recipe makes enough fried potatoes for four hungry lumberjacks. The eggs are optional. read more …
Imagine sinking your teeth into a succulent piece of meat that is perfectly caramelized around the edges with a beautiful dark coating of savoury and sweet sauce.
It's been years since I had Cantonese Roasted Pork Ribs like this. I know how good it can be but the last time I had it was in a Chinese restaurant in Malaysia. And it wasn't that great. I found this recipe while visiting Chocolate & Zucchini and she made this with a recipe from another blog, belonging to a Chinese woman who lives in France called La Bouche Plein. The recipe was written in French but thank god for Google Translate.
It was worth braving the automated language translation engine – this recipe is legit. And so easy to do. read more …
I love eating zucchinis. They are sweet, clean tasting, and when cooked properly they are luscious and so good to eat. They are excellent in soups too because when you blend them into a puree, they impart a smooth texture not unlike adding cream to your soup but with much, much less calories!
I like eating zucchini in just about any way and this is one my favourite ways of eating them: I grill them and macerate them with a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper on top a toast.
You start with 1 large zucchini; you slice them as thinly as you can muster but the most important thing is that they need to be as evenly sliced as possible.
Ravioli are big bites of deliciousness. You can have all your food groups in that nicely sealed pocket of pasta, or at least the essential ones. That's why I love eating ravioli with a simple herbed butter sauce. How did you guess that I coincided this post just because I posted a homemade pasta recipe last week? *wink* Ravioli are best homemade – ask any Italian.
This recipe is inspired by the leftovers in my kitchen. I had a slightly wilted looking pre-washed spinach, some chevre (goat's cheese) and a lone butternut squash that's been sitting in the dark for at least 1 month. You can use any cheese you want but it is preferred if you pick soft mild cheeses like chevre, ricotta, and cream cheese – and nothing too strong either.
And before I give you the recipe, a haiku:
White, green and orange
Deliciously stuffed for Spring
Slathered in butter
I didn't say it was going to rhyme but this recipe will taste fine read more …
Making pasta from scratch is easy. I'm a pasta fiend since I learned how to make pasta from good ol' Jamie Oliver. Homemade pasta doesn't taste like the package stuff you buy from the store at all. There is a freshness to it that makes it delicious to eat even on its own. Honestly, there is no precise science to making pasta. I've given the standard ratio of flour and water a hike since discovering the weather can affect that ratio. So the best thing to do is to feel your way through the dough while you knead – and start small.
You will be amaze that 1.5 cups of flour can make enough pasta for two person for two meals, if you knead it well and roll it out properly. A pasta machine is helpful. If not, good ol' elbow grease works just as well with a rolling pin.
When making pasta, use only the best grade, large eggs. And room temperature water. And a lot of courage. read more …

- Today the
Team have updated their ScummVM PS3 Emulator release from the
prior revision
to version 1.5.0 dubbed "Picnic Basket" which now includes more supported games and fixes as outlined below followed by version 0.1.6.
ScummVM 1.5.0 PS3 Emulator
ScummVM 1.6.0 PS3 Emulator
To quote: Little Red Riding Hood looking over at her grandmother's latest install of ScummVM, noting the update to version 1.5.0 and asked "My what a lot of games you now support". "All the better to entertain you with my dear!" responded the curiously grinning relative.
We all love to feast on the most sumptuous of gaming titles and our latest release will fulfill your craving for even more classic point and click adventures. Version 1.5.0 adds support for Once Upon A Time: Little Red Riding Hood and the following titles:
Backyard Baseball 2003
Blue Force
Darby the Dragon
Gregory and the Hot Air Balloon
Magic Tales: Liam Finds a Story
Sleeping Cub's Test of Courage
The Princess and the Crab
Enjoy and hopefully you won't find the big bad wolf who is sure to give you a byte!
Previous Testing Build Details: ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files.
The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS and many more!
ScummVM v1.5.0 Changelog:
New Games:
Added support for Backyard Baseball 2003.
Added support for Blue Force.

ScummVM 1.6.0 git2625 gadc338c PKG
1.6.0 (????-??-??) New Games:
Added support for 3 Skulls of the Toltecs.
Added support for Eye of the Beholder.
Added support for Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon.
Added a new save/load chooser based on a grid of thumbnails. This is only supported for resolutions bigger than 640x400. The old chooser is still available and used for games without thumbnail support. It is possible to select the old one as default too.
Rewrote VideoDecoder subsystem.
Added Galician translation.
Added Finnish translation.
Added Belarusian translation.
Using the mouse wheel on a slider widget now changes the value by the smallest possible amount. This is more predictable than the old behaviour, which was to change the value by "one pixel" which would sometimes not change it at all.
Updated MT-32 emulation code to latest munt project snapshot.
Added FluidSynth settings dialog, mainly for reverb and chorus settings.
Improved audio support for Amiga and AtariST versions of Future Wars. Now music fades out slowly instead of stopping immediately. Sound effects are now properly panned, when requested by the game.
Resolved multiple UI issues with the original save/load screen.
Added advanced savegame functionality, including savegame timestamps and thumbnails and the ability to load and delete savegames from the launcher. It's now possible to use the ScummvM save/load dialogs.
The F7 key (previously unmapped) now always shows the ScummVM load screen. The F10 key displays either the original save/load screen, or the ScummVM save screen, if the user has selected to use the ScummVM save/load dialogs.
Now that the game is freeware, there is a small extra help text showing the available commands in the in-game terminals when the player uses the 'help' command. Previously, players needed to consult the manual for the available commands. Since this reference to the manual is a form of copy protection, this extra line can be toggled by the ScummVM copy protection command line option.
Simplified the movie speed options, and added a custom option for The 7th Guest. Movie options are now "normal" and "fast", with the latter changing the movie speed in T7G to match the faster movie speed of the iOS version. The game entry might need to be readded in the launcher for the new setting to appear.
Added music support for the Macintosh version of I Have No Mouth and, I Must Scream.
Implemented Monkey Island 2 Macintosh's audio driver. Now we properly support its sample based audio output. The same output is also used for the m68k Macintosh version of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
Improved music support for the Macintosh version of Monkey Island 1. It now uses the original instruments, rather than approximating them with General MIDI instruments, and should sound a lot closer to the original.
Added sound and music support for the Macintosh version of Loom.
Handle double-clicking in the Macintosh version of Loom.

Sweet - got the PSP port when that first came out. Let's hope the PS3 port takes advantage of upscaling.
On a side note - monkey island 1&2 are available already for PS3 via PSN (boo hiss) the special edition versions look very cool. If only i could buy them on disk - I don't have PSN access anymore (not updating past 3.41!)

ScummVM Emulator PS3 Port Source Code
ScummVM Emulator PS3 Port Build 08 with Source Code

To quote: "For anyone that does not have a clue on what ScummVM is, take a look at this site here: scummvm.org. It has a ton of info on what ScummVm is and does. But basically:
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
A quote from the man himself:
Hi, I am currently working on a ScummVM port for the PS3, much of it already works, but there are still some points which need fixing.The Source is located at lousyphreak's scummvm-ps3 at ps3 - GitHub it builds with the leaked 1.92 SDK, no .pkg yet, it needs to be launched via the homebrew mode of Gaia Manager (the only one i tested it with)
What works:
1.) most of it
What doesn't:
I have only tried a handful of games, this list is by far not complete.
1.) You will get corrupted palettes in most games (corruption is usually just minor)
2.) Beneath a Steel Sky crashes during the intro
3.) Many scumm games crash when showing the overlay (Start button)
4.) in some games the cursor has no transparent colors
5.) slowdowns may occur
6.) MT32 emu shows problems at least in MI2"

US 6149603 A Abstract Method and apparatus for indicating proper placement of an endotracheal tube in the trachea of a patient which comprises measuring the oxygen concentration of inspired and expired air and, utilizing this information, performs the calculation necessary to determine whether the tube has been properly placed.
Claims(7) 1. An endotracheal placement detection (EPD) device for a tubular member (an endotracheal tube), one end of said endotracheal tube adapted for insertion into a patient's trachea and the other end located external to the patient, the detection device comprising: a tubular housing including a multi-legged Tee member coupled to said other end of the endotracheal tube, a second leg of said Tee being coupled to a source of breathing gas, and the third leg of said Tee being coupled to an oxygen sensor, a disposable filter positioned between said oxygen sensor and said Tee, said oxygen sensor including a display for displaying the existence of a difference in oxygen level in gases inspired and expired by said patient and means to indicate any difference.
2. The EPD device defined in claim 1 wherein said oxygen sensor is detachable from said Tee member.
3. A method of indicating proper placement of an endotracheal tube in the trachea comprising measuring the difference in oxygen concentration of inspired and expired air (gas) and indicating any difference between them.
4. The method defined in claim 3 wherein the difference is indicated by determining the rate of change in oxygen concentration between inspired and expired gases.
5. The method defined in claim 3 wherein the difference is indicated by identifying a change in slope between the inspired and expired air (gas).
6. The method of claim 3 having a means to indicate a drop in inspired O2 levels.
7. The method of claim 3 which, in addition to measuring the difference in the oxygen concentration of inspired and expired gas, also measures the rate of change of these levels, from breath to breath, and uses these calculations to determine the significance of the measured difference between the oxygen concentration of the inspired and expired gas.
Description The present application is the subject of provisional application Ser. No. 60/134,195 filed May 14, 1999. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining whether an intubated patient has been properly intubated. There have been numerous techniques developed for detecting accidental esophageal intubation (see Pat. Nos. 4,879,999, 4,572,208, 4,728,499, 5,166,075, 5,179,002, 5,648,451, 5,749,358, 4,928,687, 5,156,159, and 2,136,236). For the most part, these patents deal with devices and methods for indicating proper placement of an endotracheal tube by detecting (colorimetry) the presence of carbon dioxide in expired air passing through the device. If the patient has ingested a carbonated beverage prior to intubation, esophageal CO2 may be present and cause misleading indication of the position of the tube. The present invention determines whether or not an intubated patient has been properly intubated (i.e., whether the tube is in the trachea or incorrectly in the esophagus) by measuring the ΔρO2 between the inspired and expired gases. When breathing air, a person uses about one quarter of the oxygen he or she inspires. When breathing oxygen enriched gas they use a correspondingly smaller percentage, but there is still a substantial signal to work with. Rather than just measure the absolute difference in the level of oxygen, between inspired and expired, it would be preferable to measure the derivative, i.e. the differential dρO2 /dt, and more preferable, the second derivative, i.e. change in slope instead of, or in addition to, the absolute difference in oxygen content. However, it should be understood that this is not a limiting feature on the broad aspects of the invention. The measurement(s) will be displayed on a visual display or by an audible annunciator or by both. The display could comprise one LED illuminating at the inflection point when the slope changes positively and a second LED illuminating at the inflection point when the slope changes negatively, thereby obtaining a breath-to-breath indication. Additional measurements may also be made, as already mentioned, of the absolute level (tension or partial pressure) of the inhaled and exhaled gas in order to provide additional information which may be needed to reliably determine whether oxygen is being used by the patient. These measurements may be necessary, particularly during transient conditions, should oxygen be added to the inspired gas. Thus, the objective of the invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for determining whether an intubated patient has been properly intubated. The above and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent when considered with the accompanying specification and following drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of the device incorporating the invention as applied to a patient, FIG. 2 is a graph of PO2 in millimeters of mercury plotted against time with the shaded portion showing the exhalation and unshaded portion showing inhalation, FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing how the disposable Tee connects to the sensor and display and where the high-efficiency filter is installed, and FIGS. 4A and 4B are functional block diagrams of the circuit incorporating the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the endotracheal tube 10 is coupled through a disposable Tee 11 and flow control valves 12 to a squeeze bag 13. An optional source of oxygen 27, to enrich the level administered to the patient is also shown. The detection apparatus according to the present invention includes an oxygen sensor 20 which is detachable from disposable Tee 11, coupled to a processor 21 and display 22. In practice, fresh air, or oxygen enriched gas, goes into the patient's lungs through the Tee 11 to which is attached the oxygen sensor instrument of the present invention and the exhaled or expired gas also comes back through the Tee. The Tee 12 can be disposable and contain a high-efficiency bacterial/viral filter 23 (see FIG. 3) to protect the detachable O2 sensor, processor 21 and display 22 package from patient contamination. The electronics (FIG. 4A) include a microprocessor 21 which would illuminate LED 1 during inhalation and LED-2 during exhalation as shown in FIG. 3. The microprocessor 21 causes the LEDs to flash when oxygen sensor 20 output changes from increasing to decreasing, and flash when sensor 20 output changes from decreasing to increasing (due to increase and decrease of either the oxygen concentration or the oxygen partial pressure). In practice, a test switch (momentary actuation) and a green test LED (not shown), may be added which would indicate that the sensor output was correct, that the electronics are operating satisfactorily and that the battery 26 voltage was adequate. Optionally, a red LED and/or an audible alarm, signaling that there is a problem of some sort, can be included. FIG. 4B shows an embodiment wherein the output includes an LCD display 28 with icons I, and I2 representing inhalation and exhalation, respectively, and icon I3 representing an alarm condition. In a further embodiment, a single indicator light would be driven to flash when the oxygen level increases and flash again when the oxygen level decreases. In a further embodiment, a single indicator light could be driven only once per breath. Still another display could consist of an LCD display which could present various icons or textual messages, or both, to convey the desired information. In addition to the above features others can be added such as an alarm which monitors the inspired oxygen level and signals a decrease due, for example, to the oxygen source being depleted. While preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown and illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that other embodiments, adaptations and modifications of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art: Patent Citations

(Denis Poroy/Getty Images)Major League Baseball will name its annual reliever awards after two of the best closers in history.Mariano Rivera (652) and Trevor Hoffman (601), who rank Nos. 1 and 2 in career saves, will have their name on the awards given to the best reliever in each league, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Rivera's name will be attached to the AL award, as he pitched his entire career for the Yankees, and Hoffman's to the NL since he pitched his entire career in that league, mostly with the Padres.An announcement by Major League Baseball is expected Wednesday afternoon.SI WIRE: Orioles' Adam Jones rips 'idiot' fans who run onto fieldWrites Heyman: "The sport has sought for years to properly honor the game's best relievers, and this would seem to be about the most perfect way possible, adding dignity to an award that to this point has been overshadowed, even overlooked. Rivera and Hoffman are not only the two greatest savers in MLB history but two of the classiest gentleman ever to play the game."A panel of all-time great relievers, including Rivera and Hoffman, will vote on the annual honor, according to Heyman.The Delivery Man of the Year award was handed out from 2005-13 to honor the game's top reliever, and the Rolaids Relief Man was awarded from 1976-2012 to one reliever in each league. Rivera won the former three times and the latter five times, while Hoffman was awarded the Rolaids Relief Man twice in his 18-year career.

Nearly two decades since her last film, and at 80+ years of age, exploitation maven Doris Wishman is back in full force with her latest piece of trash. "Satan Was A Lady" is the title and, for all intents and purposes, is one of the worst films you will have the pleasure of scanning through on home video. It is poorly shot, illogically edited and (barring the outstanding work of lead Honey Lauren), has performances that Roger Corman would reshoot.
At the film's crux is stunningly sexy (and scantily clad) Cleo (Lauren) who is angry and, quite simply, wants money … lots of money. When she is not taking advantage of drunken men she spends her time yelling (naked) at her annoying, self-centered, wanna-be-rock-star boyfriend (whose too-long solos must have been spared from the cutting room floor in lue of payment). In her free time she also blackmails clients who are apparently too dumb to do anything but begrudgingly pay up, at her request.
For those who are familiar with Wishman's previous work, "Satan" picks up where earlier titles like "Deadly Weapons" (1971) and "Blaze Starr Goes Nudist" (1965) ended. This new incarnation of the same type of movie is just as bad as most, if not all, of her previous films … and for the exact same "quirky" reasons.
The only piece of this lurid puzzle that does fit into the grand scheme of "all things good" is the standout character of Cleo, who is brought to life by the vivacious talents of Honey Lauren. Lauren is to be commended for her brave and clever portrayal of a character who was CLEARLY not so vivacious in the script. In fact, if not for Lauren's amazing "talents" this film would just be another bad piece of soft-core porn.
With her trademark of bad edits, no storyline and underachieving actors, Wishman is at her typical "best" after her long absence. The question is … does Wishman's cult style of filmmaking appeal to your taste? As with most cult movies, reviews and analysis mean nothing since one can never really explain why any piece of filmmaking earns the term "cult" anyway. So, if you are looking for some good nudity from modeleque actresses you have come to the right place. If not, go to Disneyland.

what is it exactly? A smoked bone from a pet store?
FRESH Rib bones are fine for recreational supervised chewing, but it shouldn't be considered part of the diet. I would stay away from anything smoked as it can splinter and smoke flavoring can cause digestive upset in pups or older dogs. |

I don't like smoked ribs. They are so thin that they shatter into large chunks that can cause problems. Reba ate one once, busted it up and swallowed the pieces whole and ended up throwing them all back up later on. That was the last time she got smoked rib bones.
As far as smoked bones go, I like the thicker, heavier ones for my dog. Buy them a size up from what's recommended for your dog. I've never had a problem with splintering or shattering with the Chasing Our Tails beef bones (not sure if you have those available to you) and have used them for about five years or so now. And as Onyx'd said: be cautious with young pups and older dogs. Smoked bones may make them a little loose and give some stomachaches.

Because the OP posted this in the feeding our puppy forum, I assumed it was for recreational chewing, not raw feeding.
And what age the pup is plays into it as well....I would not feed a young pup rib bones from any mammal, unless the mammal was very young. When the adult teeth are in it should be no problem, but ribs are still fairly dense. |

WOSU-TV's Columbus Neighborhoods Series Profiles Bexley
WOSU-TV presents the tenth installment of the Columbus Neighborhoods series. This latest documentary profiles the city of Bexley.
Listen to the Story
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman Friday said 2010′s budget is balanced – so far. And the city's recreation centers, yard waste pick up and other services will be restored.
"Maintain" was a word Mayor Michael Coleman used several times during his announcement of the city's 2010 budget. At $655 million, the budget is less than it was two years ago – and there's currently no deficit. The budget, the mayor says, will only "maintain" city services including the biggest, public safety.
"It's important to remember that we promised our residents that we were going to maintain our city services not expand them," Coleman said.
In August, the city approved a 25 percent income tax increase to avoid laying off almost 600 police officers and firefighters as well as other cuts to city services.
The city has kept its promise by not cutting any safety personnel. But it will not use any revenue from the tax increase to create new fire or police recruit classes. The mayor says, instead, it will apply for federal grants.
"We're choosing to go with federal dollars. We pay taxes. Our citizens pay taxes to the federal government. It seems we ought to get that back. Our goal is to increase our fire and police through federal resources as we have, and I think that's OK," Coleman said.
The city also will restore its yard waste and bulk pick up. Two recreation centers will re-open April First – Barack on the south side and Martin Janice senior center at the fairgrounds. Coleman said all rec centers will be open full-time or part-time by September next year. They'll operate either on city or private funds.
Coleman credit's the restorations to the tax increase which was expected to generate up to $100 million. But now the city said that figure will be less – more like $85 million. And Coleman made no apologizes about the miss.
"I think it's because we don't have crystal balls. That's basically it. I don't think any economist in the country knew we would have a financial disaster in our country. And I think it just goes to us being human beings," he said.
City officials say the tax increase also will generate about $70 million for the capital fund.
Matt Ferris, a republican who ran for Columbus City Council, and narrowly lost the seat, said he is not surprised by the missed revenue projections. Ferris said the tax increase helped cover the city's fiscal mismanagement.
"If you don't focus on the core essentials and you spend money on the icing on the cake so to speak, your essential services are hurt," Ferris said.
Ferris said Columbus is at a cross road. He called the city's budget problems systemic and worries taxpayers could face another tax increase or more service cuts.
"We're going to get to the point here where if we don't prioritize our spending and we don't define what is a need and what is a want then unfortunately everything's going to get cut whether it's vital or not," he said.
Coleman said the city is committed to fiscal responsibility. City officials are working to get non-union workers' retirement and health benefits in line with the market. Coleman said this will save the city $33 million over the next ten years.

The Beckhams Take a Trip to Paris For Six
David Beckham ventured out in London yesterday with his wife Victoria Beckham, but this morning was all about the kids. He took Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper to a local park to play for a bit. Romeo, who is currently the face of Burberry's 2013 campaign, was focused on his practice and kicked around the soccer ball with his dad and little brother Cruz. Meanwhile, Brooklyn, who reportedly tried out for Chelsea Football Club's junior team in January, was more content to chat with his dad and play with little sister Harper. This evening, the family headed to King's Cross Station to catch a Eurostar train to Paris, where David's new soccer team is based. The family has a big week ahead — Cruz turns eight years old on Wednesday.

Back in 2007, before we moved to Poland, I scoffed at the idea of celebrating Thanksgiving overseas. While some people get misty-eyed at the thought of family togetherness and brined poultry, I personally never cared that much about the holiday and didn't think I would miss it.
I was surprised and humbled to see what a few months abroad can do for one's nostalgia. It felt strange as weeks passed in the month of November following All Saints' Day (instead of Halloween) and Polish Independence Day (instead of Veteran's Day) and enormous Christmas trees went up in the medieval square.
Even if I didn't particularly enjoy pumpkin pie, I had never experienced the lead-up to Christmas without it. And without the energy, for better or worse, of U.S. consumerism. As holiday tunes piped through the loudspeakers, I felt like Christmas had jumped the gun somehow. My calendar had lost its bearings. What did Thanksgiving feel like when it wasn't Thanksgiving and there weren't paper cutout turkeys and tacky orange bunting everywhere?
Of course, we could be privately thankful within our own flat. And, just like in the U.S., they had harvests in Poland. Furthermore, given that I was in an international program, maybe we could have gotten together with fellow expats to celebrate. Yet, we didn't. Unable to have it the way we had always known it to be, it would have seemed like a half-hearted sham. Most of the foods at the feast are not only New World foods from a European perspective (not a lot of yams and squash on hand in Krakow), but they are also derivative by design. My family makes them a certain way, every year, because. From boxes and cans. And so, to painstakingly craft them from scratch would strangely have made it feel even more artificial.
We didn't end up celebrating, but instead went to class just as if it was an ordinary day, because it was. For dessert that night, I slurped kiesel, a kind of soupy Polish gelatin, and called it good. But as I went to bed that night, I felt a little sad that my holiday was happening, without me, on the other side of the world.
Where is Chuseok?
I often think back to this experience when Chuseok rolls around on the lunar calendar. Every late summer we debate whether we should observe one of the most important Korean holidays of the entire year. We could technically do part of the ritual, since sadly we have a grave to visit. But beyond cleaning it, we wouldn't be able to do much more because rules at this cemetery expressly forbid any kind of pouring of alcohol or bringing food or leaving objects. Also, given that it's Phoenix, the entire cemetery is basically dirt. And it is still 110 degrees F (over 43 C). Not that we couldn't bow our heads anyway – we certainly feel enough love and devotion to go out there and sweat in the dust – but we would attract a lot of attention and I don't know that I, as the European American spouse, should push for this.
We also lack the family spirit of the holiday. Although we could gather with my husband's mom, aunt, and grandmother, they haven't observed the holiday with any regularity since moving to the U.S. 20 – some years ago. If we show up in hanbok (which we don't actually own) and begin bowing, it would be seriously strange. They probably don't even realize that it is coming up this weekend, so disconnected from the Korean calendar are they after all this time. Plus, given how they were dislocated during the Korean Civil War and then struggled for decades following, I don't know if they ever really celebrated this holiday in its modern form.
So, our attempt to perpetuate the holiday traditions of my husband's family would have to take place despite his family, in a way that they might have never experienced it themselves, and that feels weird. Especially when, as the elders, it should be more about them than my own desire to participate in their culture.
Moreover, even if we did complete the duty part of the holiday, we would, sadly (and somewhat selfishly) also miss out on the fun part. This drives home the realization for us that a holiday is a cultural phenomenon, not a private act. Without experiencing the frisson energy, the festive décor in stores, the tantalizing holiday products on offer, the food and traditional activities, and even the ungodly traffic of the weekend, we have to wonder if it is possible to really call it observing or participating at all. After all, there is actually nothing to participate in, and nobody to participate with. (Maybe it would be different if we joined a Korean church, but I don't think we should do that just to go to cultural events).
So, there will be no official, standard Chuseok happening here.
But instead of our all-or-nothing mentality from Poland, we will reach for what we can grasp, which will probably be some jap jae and songpyeon, washed down with baekseju. Maybe we'll go to Gogi, our favorite local Korean food, or to Asiana market. Or maybe, in a non-traditional twist, we'll just give it a nod by curling up for another episode of our current K-drama. When living between cultures, one must compromise and make modifications. Sometimes events happen without us, and celebrating out of context with whatever we have on hand, the best we can, might be all we can do. And as we go to sleep, we can hope that one day we'll see ssireum and ganggangsullae live, and maybe even brave the seesaw. In a hanbok. Maybe even with Halmonee by our side.
For now, we simply embrace the holiday in our hearts, and plot our next visit. To those celebrating, and those who wish they were celebrating, Happy Chuseok. Wherever you are.

Up to this point in the ride report - no difference. I would not propose anything different.
Definitelly ride the route north to south. A couple of upcoming sections you won't want to be riding in the opposite direction.
And you might want to do something a bit different the last few days. Dont want to spoil the upcoming report from the Cap'n.
We went the first two weeks of September. The beginning of the ride was Labor Day Weekend.
Last bit of advice - take a light bike. While Mike P did it on the big GS it is not a trip for everyone to make on a big bike. Mike is the youngest and strongest of our group.
One more thing. I dont think you will see any other ride reports of someone or a group doing the WABDR and the OBDR back to back. It's a workout.
Someone asked about the Wolfman bags. The Ortliebs I have on the WR have been with me now a number of years and have a hole here and there as well as some of the straps are broken. Before this trip I ordered the Wolfman racks as I am sure to replace the Ortlieb's. I just bought the Wolfman's from an inmate. Great bags for this kind of riding.
I told ya DP was gonna tease us. Gonna keep everyone hangin on while he is sailing some stupid ship or something.

New and still in the original blue box with the original accessories sealed in the bag, it must have been made in the 1970s since the instruction sheet is only one page folded in half. I will take it to my gunsmith for a good cleaning due to the old oil being the consistency of glue, took a good hard rap to separate the barrel from the frame to field strip. Cant wait to take it to the range for a test drive.

This hotel is disgusting! Bugs all over the bathroom and weird SCENT of musk. All and all we stayed two nights and wasn't pleased. The location is pretty next to a highway so it was easy to get to places.
Hated it.
Needs to update bathroom! The drapes had mold and tiles are broken.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'm in the car a lot. I'm a pretty heavy cell-phone user -- it's how my clients and wife get ahold of me when needed. So I've been using headsets for a long time. It wasn't until a year or so ago when I first got a Bluetooth-capable phone that I got a Bluetooth headset. I had a Jabra BT160 for a while and it worked fine, but it became uncomfortable for long-term wear. Some of my clients are located a long ways away, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. PC Magazine had given the Plantronics Voyager 510 a very positive review. So I decided to give it a try. MaryTara actually purchased it for my birthday, but wanted me to pick it out. The Plantronics Voyager 510 is on the large side for a headset. It fits over the ear and has an earbud that fits in your ear. It has a boom mic that reaches towards your mouth. It folds up to fit easily in your pocket and is very durable -- after a month it shows no signs of wear. It is all one piece, which I appreciate -- the BT160 had a detachable ear hook which was always coming off in my pocket. It can rotate to fit on either ear. The sound quality of the Plantronics Voyager 510 is excellent. With my phone on my belt, it is crystal clear. The mic does a very good job at screening out external noise. Previous versions of this headset had problems screening out wind noise, so Plantronics added the Windsmart wind-repelling screen. This addresses the flaw very well. Comfort is always a concern with a Bluetooth headset. The Plantronics Voyager 510 scores top marks here, too. I can wear this all day and it's still comfortable. Because it's comfortable, I find myself using it a lot more than I did its predecessor. The over-the-ear construction spreads out the weight (.7 ounce) quite nicely. Battery life is pretty good. Plantronics advertises four days of standby and six hours of talk time. I haven't run it all the way down, but I've been using it for a month on the first charge. Suffice it to say that battery life doesn't seem to be a problem. It's hard to judge range fairly for this headset, because I have a Samsung A900, which is known to have a buggy Bluetooth implementation. I have gotten up to ten feet away from the phone without a problem, although there was some static and popping. But it's difficult to judge what is the phone's fault and what is the headset's, when the phone is known to have bad Bluetooth capability. Perhaps when I trade up phones I can better address this issue. If the Plantronics Voyager 510 has a downfall, it's the controls. There is a volume rocker on the part that goes behind your ear. That's easy enough to find. There is a talk button on the boom mic. That's also easy to find, although you may fumble a bit for it while driving. One short tap will redial the last number; one long tap will activate voice dialing. The power button is very small and can be hard to find. Usually I will turn the headset on before putting it on. The only other issue that the Plantronics Voyager 510 has is that it's not inobtrusive. It pretty much screams out 'I'm wearing a Bluetooth headset!' Some people don't mind the cyborgish look, but it's not always to my liking. There is the Bluetooth standard flashing blue light which means it's on an active; it turns red when charging. However, these are relatively minor problems. Overall, the Plantronics Voyager 510 is an excellent choice for a Bluetooth headset. The reviewer at PC Magazine said he used his every day. After a month of the Voyager, I agree with him wholeheartedly.

(I'm surprised NONE have you have seen the similarities)
His mild grin expands into a large beam as he greets his buddy.
"Ziosin! I was looking everywhere for you!" He glances at Kana and then back at Ziosin. "Kana, this is the guy with the funny hat." He grins. "Funny hat, this is Kana. She got the highest exam scores!"

This problem was obviously not caused by Walmart. We have too many liberal politicians that want to disarm America. That's the problem!
Visit our website at WWW.LARRYWILLIS.COM It's devoted to helping shooters make the best handloads possible.
pizza_pablo ....... This link works for me. It's our government purchasing website. https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=7c0a7d03ca1d03dbe187e2 a5406502e5&tab=core&_cview=1[/URL] I can show you a dozen other pages that show the ammo they're buying. (It's public record.) How much more confirmation do you need?
My local Walmarts and Academy people have been very helpful during this hard time crisis. Just ask them when they get shipments and they will tell you. My Academy gets guns and ammo every M W F and will have it on the shelves at 8am when they open. One box per caliber per person please. They know what guns are coming in but unfortunately they don't know what calibers and how much of ammo they are getting until the trucks pull up. Walmart gets deliveries every weekday and will have it on the shelf by 7 am. They just don't know what they are getting or how much either. I have had long talks with the walmart employees working the gun section (always old folks ) and they have been very honest to me and seem trust worthy. Maybe in some places the employees are bad but I want to believe that here they are just trying to do good by everyone.
Practice doesn't make perfect, it make permanent. When I hear a Liberal say "I can speak for gun owners because I own a shotgun" I just want to scream "Well I can speak for vegetarians because I like lettuce on my cheeseburger!"
. . Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem." (I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.). Thomas Jefferson "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." -Edmund Burke, Loosely translated from Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents. (1770)
I work at a Wal-Mart, get in good with just about any of the poeple, they can look up exactly what is planned to come in on the next truck, I know I look for .45 everyday.
Whether or not DHS is buying 2.1 billion rounds in two orders should be only a secondary consideration to the market. Government approved suppliers fill these orders all the time yet still fulfill all their commercial requirements. They would not just stop commercial production to fulfill an order: Again, they have done this for decades with no effect on the commercial market. However, rarely is there a secondary market in ammunition where a person can buy off-the-shelf and immediately triple the price and still have a customer pay it quickly. This trend will most likely not end until everyone willing to pay the much higher prices feel they have enough of a stockpile to survive whatever they feel may come. At that point we will see the markets come back to normal and stores will once again be able to stock ammunition at their regular prices. While it's necessary to have enough ammunition for SHTF scenarios and home defense, we will not see the end of this price gouging until there are very few people that are willing to pay the inflated prices.
TeKGreg ...... Those 2 billion rounds ordered by the DHS represent dozens of orders, and that's enough ammo for a 30 year ground war. Most of this ammo is non-military calibers. Think about that for a moment . . . . Ammunition gets to the shelf only after it is sold to dealers by huge distributors, and they will sell to anyone with an FFL. The shooters that are now hoarding ammo are the smart ones. This situation is caused by a government that fixes (or causes) every problem with an unlimited amount of our money. This ammo shortage is even worse than we had during WWII.
I don't think that the gov't is the cause of the ammo shortage but a perfect storm of Newtown, mistrust of gov't Obama and cronies and panic buying. BUT, what does the DHS need with 2 billion rounds of hollow point? It at least begs for an answer. I agree with TekGreg, don't buy from those guys gouging at the gun shows and online and they will get stuck with a boatload of ammo and then we can all get back to regular practice. Until then, movement drills, dryfire, etc. I don't think that the problems at some Walmarts are systemic, I shop at several and have a great relationship with the employees, they all are very open about what is coming in and when. If you get there at the right time then you get what they got, 3 boxes of each. Employees are limited to 1 box and can't buy during their shift. I have friends that buy up what they find and we split what we buy between us. It's not a lot but a little is better than none and better than paying $1/rd for .223 etc. It will be awhile before it gets back to the good ole days again. There is a search engine that checks for ammo at www.gunbot.net that checks for ammo online, price per box, price per rd, etc. I haven't had a whole lot of luck with it but I have found a few gems, the stuff goes quick so you have to buy when you see it. I've been wanting to get back into reloading recently now that I am settled in one place but reloading supplies are slim to nonexistent. I would just like to add that if anyone finds any reloading supplies online please speak up.

Saturday, September 04
Busch Stadium
Attendance: 44,597
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Travis Wood turned in seven solid innings and hit his first career home run to lead Cincinnati in a 6-1 victory over rival St. Louis in the middle test of a crucial three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Jonny Gomes had a two-run double in the first inning and Brandon Phillips made it a three-run margin in the second with an RBI single, as the Reds won for the seventh time in nine contests to extend their lead in the NL Central to eight games over the Cardinals.
Wood (5-2) allowed an unearned run and five hits while fanning three and walking two for his fifth win in seven starts. It was his first career matchup with the Cardinals, who had won five in a row in the series.
Adam Wainwright (17-10) again failed in his bid to become the National League's first 18-game winner. In fact, the right-hander extended a career- high losing streak to four consecutive starts while St. Louis dropped its ninth game in 11 tries.
Wainwright was charged with seven hits and five runs, only two of those earned, while fanning six and walking one over five innings. Matt Holliday had two hits and an RBI for the Cards, who opened the series Friday with a 3-2 win.
Cincinnati took control early with three first-inning runs thanks to an Aaron Miles error. Orlando Cabrera singled, Joey Votto reached on the miscue and a walk to Scott Rolen loaded the bases with one out. Ramon Hernandez scored one with a groundout and Gomes smacked a double to left for the three-run edge.
An error on Wood helped St. Louis get a run back in its first at-bat. Jon Jay went all the way to third on the botched throw that sailed clear of Votto and up the right-field line. Holliday brought the run home with an infield hit.
The Reds manufactured another run in the second when Chris Heisey led off with a base hit, was sacrificed to second and scored on Phillips' single to center.
"I was missing locations, no doubt, I fell behind in the count a couple times and got really hurt. I got predictable in the strike zone. When you're behind in the count too much you're going to get burned some times," Wainwright said.
Wood drilled a first-pitch, two-out sinker from Wainwright in the fourth, sending it just clear of the left-field wall for a 5-1 advantage.
"It was pretty cool. First pitch, swung, hit it...I was in uncharted waters so I was just running," said Wood of his first deep fly.
The rookie southpaw held the hosts in check until St. Louis threatened with back-to-back singles by Pujols and Holliday in the sixth. Nick Stavinoha, though, grounded into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.
Wood then worked around a two-out walk in the seventh before giving way to rookie flame-thrower Aroldis Chapman. The Cuban left-hander got a ground-ball out from Miles before walking Jay on four pitches to set up a big at-bat against Pujols, who bounced into a double play.
Votto added to the Reds' lead with an RBI base hit off Dennys Reyes in the top of the ninth and Francisco Cordero took the hill for the home half. Colby Rasmus connected for a pinch-hit double -- the Cardinals' lone extra-base hit -- before Cordero retired the final two batters.

May 7, 2012 6:42 AM Devindra Hardawar Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015. GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on March 6 Pacific! After announcing that it's jumping into the Google TV fray at CES in January, an LG executive said today that it will begin building and shipping the sets later this month. But, with Google TV's lukewarm welcome by consumers, and a non-existent Apple television set grabbing headlines, will LG fare better than Google's first round of partners? Ro Seogho, an executive vice president in LG's TV business, told Reuters that the company will start building the Google TV sets on May 17, and that consumers will be able to buy the sets starting the week of May 21. Google TV launched in late 2010 as Google's attempt to bring web video to TVs. The Android powered-platform brings Google search, web browsing, and most recently apps, to your television screen. But despite plenty of promise, it failed to take off initially due to sluggish speeds and lack of support from TV networks. Logitech famously gave up on Google TV last year after blaming it for a $100 million loss. LG isn't offering up any other details, like screen size or pricing. But from the report, I gather that Seogho isn't referring to the "Nexus" Google TV set LG was rumored to be working on (which would run a much newer version of Google TV than existing devices). Without that Nexus designation, though, there doesn't seem to be much to differentiate LG's sets from Google TV products already available from Sony and Logitech. I'm also not sure why LG is in such a rush to bring GTV sets to market. Google TV hasn't been updated since last Fall (though that update offered some significant improvements), and it doesn't give LG much time to promote the new sets. Wouldn't the No. 2 television maker in the world have something to say about a significant new product line? It could be that Google has a big Google TV update that it's going to debut with LG's sets, or LG is just bringing the sets to market without much effort to fulfill a contractual obligation. At CES, we also learned that new Google TV sets would be coming from Samsung, Vizio, and Sony. VentureBeat is studying social media marketing tools. Chime in, and we'll share the data with you.

OK so let get this straight you think your right and I am wrong? What the hell is your problem ? OMG ... you know what I am just going to cut to the point we were both wrong for what we did EQUALLY understand so can you stop being butt hurt about this now and move on? Oh and on a another note insults and cursing does not make your rant fact so CALM DOWN . Your actually worst then cersus right now do you even know that , which from where my stand point is a bad thing. So you think of yourself as the victim? GET OVER YOURSELF. Look it does not matter what happened in the past , all I what to know now is why your acting all big behind a screen and attacking / insulting / trolling and flaming me for no reason. I mean really it's a joke Sherlock don't you get it? I find it really funny that you start all over again and for what your trolling and flaming and pointing fingers instead of accepting your fail so way to be a hypercritical about this . What I find funny is that you think your a "grown up " acting like this while I am just laughing how self centered you are so way to go Mr. Adult.
P.S. "Blatant attack, false accusations insult and trolling in the same fucking post. And I'm the liar? Gtfo!" What the hell is this suppose to mean? How I am attacking you when your doing it to me , what I said was fact and not a insult, I am not trolling you are , and oh would you look at this you lied....AGAIN you hypercrit so SCREW YOU
EDIT - sure I may used the wrong words but what I said was in no mean an Attack , trolling or flaming of any kind so for that my bad but that does not excuse what soles said to me since my post was coming from a good place it' just got twisted which in turned looked like I was attacking him
