The local newspaper, the Longmont Daily Times Call, ran and article about me in the food section today. Here's a link directly to that story.
And here's a photo of the infamous bear cracker that was mentioned in the article, and here's where I blogged about it originally.
And for your cooking convenience, here are links to both of my Fire Cracker recipes. The first version was a little bit milder. That's the one that was published in the Times Call. The second one had a little more kick.
If you're new here, you can find MORE of my writing in the Left Hand Valley Courier (print edition), in the Longmont Ledger, on Serious Eats, on Slice (it's about pizza), and in the emailed newsletter for Cayenne Kitchen.
Now you're all caught up!

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Andrew McCutchen and the Pittsburgh Pirates are 47-43 at the All-Star break.
Hard to believe.
The Pirates wrapped up their best first half in 19 years with a 9-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. McCutchen, who was named to the NL All-Star team on Saturday, hit a three-run homer and knocked in five as Pittsburgh won two of three in the weekend series.
Paul Maholm (6-9) worked into the eighth inning for the win, striking out eight and allowing just four hits and a run to improve to 9-2 in 16 career starts against the Cubs.
"If you play good baseball, you got a chance to win. We played better than them today. We flat-out outpitched them, we out-fielded them, we outhit them," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle.
Ramon Ortiz (0-2) lost his second straight start since being called up from the minors after giving up six runs and seven hits in four-plus innings.
Darwin Barney had two of Chicago's four hits and the Cubs finished the first half by losing seven of their last 10 games. They head to the break with a record of 37-55.
"Time away should refresh [us]," said Cubs manager Mike Quade.
McCutchen hit sacrifice flies in the first and fifth innings. But his big blow came in the third, when he launched Ortiz's 0-1 fastball deep over the wall in center field for his 14th homer of the season and 5-0 lead.
The Pirates center fielder was added to the NL All-Star roster as a replacement for injured Brewers star Ryan Braun, fixing what many observers believed was a snub in the first place.
He joined Pittsburgh closer Joel Hanrahan, who was previously voted onto the team. Starter Kevin Correia, who lost Saturday's game, was added to the team Sunday because Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels threw against the Braves.
"I think one of the most interesting things that maybe a lot of people didn't know about Kevin is that he wanted to go somewhere where he could be at the top of the rotation," said Hurdle. "And obviously we were able to afford him that opportunity.
"He competes. He came to spring training focused ... and he's been our lead guy through the first half. ...It's very rewarding a very deserving for Kevin to be the third person to go."
It will be the first time the Pirates have three All-Stars since Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Neal Heaton made the team in 1990.
"I'm pretty excited about it," Hurdle said.
Chris Resop spelled Maholm with two outs in the eighth inning Sunday with a runner at second base and Jose Veras struck out two in a perfect ninth. Hanrahan got the day off, but finished the first half with a club-record 26 saves before the All-Star break.
The Pirates haven't been above .500 at the All-Star break since they went 49-39 in 1992.
Neil Walker hit an RBI double on Sunday and was 3-for-4 with two runs scored for the Pirates, who scored their nine runs on nine hits. Alex Presley added two hits and scored twice.
Chicago's only run came on Aramis Ramirez's groundout in the fourth inning, which scored Reed Johnson after he led off with a double and went to third on Starlin Castro's single.

One issue I've had with Gingerbread ROMs is that apps get killed to readily. I would like to prevent this from happening with Slacker, but only if I want it to be running. I don't necessarily want Slacker in memory all the time, I just want it to not get killed while it's playing music. Is there any way to make this happen in 5.4?
That's interesting, so slacker gets shut off when its running? I use Pandora and have never had it shut off while it was streaming music. Seems as though you are very tight on ram if that's the case. Are you running the v6 supercharger script. I'd think that would help free up ram so slacker can run while other services are in use as well. Sent from OG Droid sporting SS5.4 w/HoneyGingerComb and Chevy's lv1.0ghz kernal
There is a task manager app, but I forget which one, that let's you set the oom level for individual apps.
I'm aware of the script, but never paid much attention enough to know exactly what it does or if it would benefit me. I'll take a look. Thanks.
I agree though... an option like that would be great. I like to super-multitask... like Poweramp, navigation, and browser all at once... so I put poweramp locked in to make sure it doesn't get shut down. But when its off, it still locks in. I have Supercharge too, but there's only so much one script can do! Being able to only lock when its active would be awesome! Sent from my Droid using DroidForums
For unrelated reasons, I tried the "lock in memory" setting with Copilot Live - a relatively huge app that tends to exit and subsequently restart when interrupted by a phone call or switching to another app. With this setting, the app remains in memory when interrupted, but actually exits when I tell it to, and it no longer remains in memory. And, it doesn't start up when the phone boots like Slacker did with the same setting. So it would seem that the "lock in memory" setting only prevents Android from killing the app, but does not prevent the app from self-terminating. Can anyone confirm this? If only more apps actually exited when exit them, then this would work just the way I want.
It definitely is how the app is programmed - for example - by default, pressing the 'back' button STILL leaves most apps in memory. I changed ChevyNo1Tools to actually EXIT from memory on the back button, but STAY in when the home button is pressed ... That being said - you CAN use the long-press on back button to effectively kill/remove the app from memory ...
Yes - the 'lock in memory' applies only to Android's process of killing apps when memory is short - the 'longpress on back' acts apart from that ...
I'm a little confused? What's the difference between exiting the app and killing the app? If you are exiting it from memory, aren't you killing it? I know when I tap back in an app it is still shown under running services until it decides it doesn't need to be running anymore. Also, what effect does the long press to kill app in the development settings have on all this. That seems to remove it from running services. Sent from OG Droid sporting SS5.4 w/HoneyGingerComb and Chevy's lv1.0ghz kernal
I believe exiting the app is when the app self-terminates - releasing memory and terminating its own processes - like when you close an app on your computer, and that killing an app is something that's done from outside the app, either by another app or by Android itself - like using Task Manager in Windows, or System Monitor in Ubuntu to terminate an app or its processes.
Considering this revelation, (which makes things so much better for me!) is it possible, Chevy, to stick a confirmation for the app kill? There was one on another ROM (forget which) and it made the back button easier, since there were less mistaken killing... of course, if possible you could always add an option to prompt? I'm not sure how difficult it is, so I don't know if I'm asking a lot or a little.
Or maybe have the behavior of the back button (without holding it) be configurable on an app-by-app basis? I can feel myself being slowly pulled into the Droid 3 vortex - so please don't count this as a request from me.

To its supporters, the Metropolitan Council is a triumph of regional planning and a model for other urban areas.
To its critics, the agency is a bureaucracy insulated from elected officials and insensitive to suburban concerns.
Those detractors want to strip the agency of its authority over transit planning and turn the job over to a panel more accountable to elected officials.
Scott County Commissioner Jon Ulrich recalled recently how local officials responsible for advising the agency were shut out of work on a major transportation plan.
"We were told if you want to see the full plan ... it will be online later in the week," Ulrich said.
The critics want to turn the Met Council responsibilities for planning transit over to a board made up mostly of elected local officials, with many of them appointed by counties.
Current council members are appointed by the governor and don't hold elective office elsewhere. They sometimes profess ignorance of actions taken by the agency's staff. Recently, the council was forced to backpedal after suburbanites complained about designs for new buses. The governor expressed concerns about staff decisions on awarding a transit contract.
Republicans at the Capitol who want a greater role for elected officials also want to shift transit funding from the state to local property taxes. Rep. Mike Beard, R-Shakopee, said state funding doesn't work at a time of state budget shortfalls.
But Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, opposes the shift, noting that property taxes fall disproportionately harder on people with lower incomes. Hornstein also said stripping the Met Council of authority to plan transit but allowing it to continue to plan low- and moderate-income housing "doesn't make a lot of sense."
Still, he said giving a panel that includes elected officials power over transit is a good idea and has his own plan for doing so.
"There is something that needs to be reformed here," he said.

You know it doesn't matter what Vader said if he can't do it himself. That's the point. Naruto may have once been a dunce, but not anymore. As for being "weak in the mind", you do realize that a number of them have Techniques/Abilities that specifically target the persons mind and senses? Your ignorance of these basic facts is why people won't take you seriously.Indeed.
@Iju said:
@GIRUGAMESH: lol funny i wasnt even talking to you. thats EXACTLY what i was talking about. the Force as a whole. thats what i MEANT. shee... you dont even deserve a facepalm right now. i cant BELIEVE you would see past me like that.
oh and no, i havent seen him destroy a planet, but im going to take his word for what HE said, in the OFFICIAL movie, made by GEORGE LUCUS HIMSELF. and he said destroying a planet is nothing compared to the force. and a question for you: when have the naruto char. even come close to destroying a planet? lol NEVER. my narutotard of a friend said, and i say proudly said that naruto can toss a RHINO...really?!
and darth vader WITHOUT the force is still terrifying. he has the light saber. nothing of their little "knives" and rasengans will do a single thing. they would all melt to the high powered heat of the light saber, anyway...chidori (as well as most of all of sasuke's and ALL of the naruto characters attacks...) is so much of a close range its ridiculous. all darth would do is wait for that idiot to run right into his trap, and slice him neatly in half, therefore instantly killing him, end of battle.
even then, without the Force OR the light saber, he still is immensely manipulative, and can convince naruto to give up his power or something like that. lets be truthful here, naruto characters are very weak in the mind;very impressionable. come on! sasuke could "mind rape" (if you can call that weak attack mind rape) at freaking 12 years old! i know he was very advanced for his age and the whole "uchiha clan" and all that, but even then, some of the adults were stronger than him at points, so obviously mind raping a person in the naruto verse is like licking ice cream. so convincing someone in there would be easy compared to the powerful darth vader. in fact, sasuke was so good in making naruto think he was his friend, to this day, he still thinks that! while sasuke is getting on with his life, naruto is still holding onto the gay dream he has thinking sasuke is still his friend. please. i cant believe that someone nearly at a type of god levels is being compared to these human weaklings.
Here's the way it works; this is a group discussion, meaning, unless you specifically designate someone you're addressing, anyone is free to reply. That simple enough for you, lamb chop?
Ok, so you were referring to the force as a whole; that does nothing to make your argument any less stupid. Vader cannot wield the whole, complete power of the force, nobody can. So that renders the first few dozen words of crap you posted irrelevant.
As for that Rhino, that was a giant rhino that could have easily weighed 40 tons+, and Naruto was able to toss it a couple of hundred metres away. There's no way Vader could do that with sheer strength, even with the force it would be debatable.
Without the force? Well no actually, he isn't that terrifying at all. Without it he's just a guy in a suit of armour with a lightsaber. A jedi/sith without the force would be like a Naruto character without chakra, perhaps even worse. Without force precog Vader has now way to react to supersonic attacks and no way to move at supersonic levels, never mind lightspeed (as you wrongly suggest). Take away the force and Neji could probably beat him.
...convince Naruto to give up his power? I feel I am forced to post this, sorry but the sort of crap you're coming out with is embarrassing:
Apparently you have no idea, most Naruto characters aren't weak minded at all. Consider how many times someone has tried to convince Naruto of something and failed. And just look at Kakashi, the guy I say has a good chance to beat Darth Vader; he was able to be stabbed hundreds of thousands of times over the course of three days whilst still keeping his mind intact.
As for Sasuke, let me spell it out for you; just convincing someone is not the same as mind-raping them. That would be like comparing someone who can make a convincing argument to Aizen's shikai; it's ridiculous.
You are clearly a Naruto hater and there is no sense to be had from you. Go back to the hole you crawled out from.
Outright mental domination with the Force is different from Mind tricks child. Not that anyone in Naruto has shown sufficient resistance to either so fuck off

Oh you mean when Luke was beaten by Celeste Morne sometime prior to facing Vader on the Death Star? Or when Grand Master Luke was put into a Coma by the Force Ghost of Exar Kun? Or when Darth Caedus was giving him a run for his money until Luke had to Fully Become One with the Force? Yes, I know about Luke. And I also know a Bullet could kill any Jedi given the right circumstance, because 99% of all Force Users are soft-bodied fleshy bipedals.
That comic took place before he even knew Vader was his father and before the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi you dipshit :facepalm
And Luke got his soul ripped out by Kun
And Caedus was more or less equal to him so once again your sprouting bullshit
@ReiKai said:
I debate with people like you, all the time, on the SWTOR forums, who blindly believe that guys like Vader are unbeatable. Who take Character Statements and treat them as Gospel. So, it's really not even a debate, not when your whole strategy is to repeat the same nonsense every other SW Fanboy has been spouting.
TOR fourms is filled with dumbshits equal to yourself anyways. It doesn't mean anything in this debate anyways
Oh Raigen and his retarded Wank. I haven't seen it in years
I know, I just pointing it out. Just bringing it up
I see no bias at work.
He could just simply mindfuck him. He has telepathy feats that span over dimensional range
Case in point in Shadows of Mindor he mindfucked Blackhole while he was in Hyperspace
@MarioRedfield said:
In the EU, Luke Skywalker is a powerful Jedi and all, but regarding the whole "can mind f**k millions of people" he's a GOOD guy, he wouldn't use it. Even if Goku is dumb enough to fall for it. Goku can blow up planets with simple ki attacks... I like Luke better honestly, but Goku would win
He would still mindfuck him even in character

Well OBD puts him at that level. I have pleanty of Star Wars comics and to be honest I haven't seen lightspeed so far. Anyway Jedi and Sith from Expaned Universe are >>>>>>>>>> movie versions in terms of power. Going by OBD Luke should win, but I doubt that info is correct. Since year ago Luke had hypersonic speed and now he has lightspeed reactions. I'm not in Star Wars EU 3 years, but I highly doubt that he could get so powerful. Anyway I'll lay low for now.

@TheNobody said:
@TheVectorPrime: I've already explained the scan you so assumed that the Gold Saint was gonna die from being in the upper atmosphere and that scan is clearly enough to explain that they ATTACK AT AN ATOMIC LEVEL! What more do you want? It explains that every atom in their body are micro solar systems that can be used to destroy another opponents atoms, everything has atoms so they can basically destroy anything. I'm not saying they can actually destroy planets or anything (they probably can if they wanted to) but all what I'm saying is that they can focus their attacks to destroying their target only. It's like a bullet, the small form of a bullet isn't dangerous at hand though if shot from a gun it has the power to pierce through anything, that's what there attacks basically do but at a higher level. It's like getting a miniature nuke thrown at you, just because it isn't big doesn't necessarily mean it can't kill you.
Putting a side that this post is you fanfiction basilcly, I've noticed something interesting. I bolded that part. In one of your first posts in this thread you posted that they are multi-galaxy busters. Now sudden change in opinion. I think we start to agree on certain points, and i'm looking forward to it . After all that's how a reasonable debate should end.
The VectorPrime your debates are anything but reasonable as your biased by your dislike of a series and constantly downplay to the point people dislike you and justafiably mock you for your dumbfuckery. So in short realize this get off your butthurt and they will stop calling you out for the retard you are

One time my uncle who worked at a large bank suggested I should become a debt collector. He said I had the right personality for the job, which I wasn't sure was a compliment or not. He said many employees at his bank started out in debt collection, then worked their way up to other departments with less stressful workloads. I told him I'd give it a try.
It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Most of my clients agreed to set up a repayment schedule, and I rarely had to send out the repossession team. I can't say I enjoyed being yelled at for ten minutes by irate customers, but I found ways to disconnect emotionally from the situation and just let them vent for a while.
