Chipotle in adobo: Put that in your meatball and smoke it
Everything's better with a sweet and spicy meatball.
Toasting ingredients before you add them can make a world of difference in the final dish.
Toasting nuts transforms each variety into its best self. Many Indian recipes call for toasting spices first to bring out the natural oils and flavors, and toasting rice before cooking adds a wonderful nuttiness to the resulting pilaf.
This recipe, Spanish-style Toasted Pasta with Shrimp, taught me a thing or two about toasting pasta.
The dish is a take on fideo, sort of a poor-man's paella: toasted pasta simmered in a spicy tomato broth, but without the saffron and with far less seafood. This one is made with shrimp, but you could substitute chunks of boneless, skinless chicken breast, or even some appropriately marinated and flavored tofu.
I saw the recipe on an episode of "America's Test Kitchen," a cooking show on public television that focuses on harnessing the science of cooking to get the best results for any dish — kitchen as laboratory if you will. This show is hosted by Christopher Kimball — think an ultra-nerdy Alton Brown. Kimball and his phalanx of talented cooks each week take traditional, familiar dishes and show the home cook how to make them successfully every time.
A New York Times article about Kimball, who also produces another show, "Cook's Country," and publishes a couple of magazines, reveals the Westchester County, N.Y. native who now lives in Vermont as a producer who wears his New England Yankee practicality like a badge, eschewing culinary trends and focusing on frugality, always opting for practical techniques and providing substitutes for pricey, difficult-to-find ingredients, all the while dressed in $400 shirts. It's a really good read.
There is a companion website, americanstestkitchen.com, to which I subscribe ($29.95 for one year), where you can watch all the videos from the show and print or share the recipes.
As with most recipes from Kimball's shows and magazines, there's nothing casual with this one. It's quite precise in its measurements and directions, and it reflects Kimball's persnickety nature. When I made it, I used frozen, easy-peel shrimp and followed the directions exactly. The result was incredibly delicious and looked just like the photo on the website.
The Spanish flavors — the garlicky shrimp in tomato broth, the smokiness of the paprika, the richness of the wine and anchovy paste (don't skip), and the tangy finish of fresh lemon (don't skip that either) — are not familiar to my palate and were a delightful discovery.
This would be a great dish for company as well. It doesn't take hours to prepare — in fact, it's relatively simple — but it tastes very special, as if you had made a great effort for your guests.
Spanish-style Toasted Pasta with Shrimp
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced (1 tablespoon)
Salt and pepper
1½ pounds extra large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined, shells reserved
2¾ cups water
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
8 ounces spaghettini or thin spaghetti, broken into 1- to 2-inch lengths (see note)
1 onion, chopped fine
1 (14½-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained and chopped fine
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon anchovy paste
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges
Combine 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add shrimp, toss to coat and refrigerate until ready to use.
Place the reserved shrimp shells, water, chicken broth and bay leaf in a medium bowl. Cover and microwave until the liquid is hot and the shells have turned pink, about 6 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
Toss spaghettini pieces with 2 teaspoons of oil in broiler-safe 12-inch skillet until it is evenly coated. Toast over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is browned and giving off a nutty aroma (it should be color of peanut butter), 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer the toasted pasta to a bowl. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and beginning to brown around edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick, dry and slightly darkened in color, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining garlic, paprika, smoked paprika and anchovy paste. Cook until fragrant, about 1½ minutes. Add the toasted spaghettini and stir to combine. Adjust the oven rack so it sits 5 to 6 inches from broiler element and preheat the broiler.
Pour your shrimp shells and broth through a fine-mesh strainer into the skillet. Discard the shells. Add the wine, ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper to the skillet and stir well. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring your pasta to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly thickened and the spaghettini is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Scatter the shrimp over the spaghettini then stir to partially submerge the shrimp. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the shrimp are opaque and the surface of spaghettini is dry with crisped, browned spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately, passing lemon wedges separately.
Note: To break the spaghettini into 2-inch pieces, loosely fold 4 ounces of the pasta in a kitchen towel, keeping the pasta in a flat layer, not bunched up. Wrap the towel around the pasta, then position the roll so that 1-2 inches of the pasta rests on the counter while the remainder hangs off the edge. Pressing the bundle against the counter, press down on the long end of the towel to snap the strands into pieces, sliding the bundle back over the edge after each break.

Grout and tile cleaning and sealing
Hi all,
I need a little advice, please! We had tile floors put down about 4 years ago and they are starting to look kind of dirty. It's mostly the grout, but I think the tile could use a good cleaning too.
I have tried to scrub the grout myself, but didn't notice a big difference. Today I called a grout cleaning company and they charge 375 for a cleaning and sealing. I've heard some not so great things about the company, so I don't think I feel comfortable with that.
Any suggestions? I don't think our tile was ever sealed. Is that a DIY kind of thing or do I need to hire someone? I've heard that steam cleaning tile and grout works. Will any old steam cleaner do?
Any suggestions? Thanks!
i recently used magic eraser on my grout on the bathroom floor. came up really well. You can buy some stripper to get any sealer off that may have been put down, and then put some sealer on. Is it a big job? no not really. just a little time consuming as the bathroom will be out of action for a couple of days. You need to let everything dry before proceeding to the next step. Good luck
Whether you need to seal the tile depends on the type of tile. The friendly experts at the John Bridge tile forum can help. Do some reading on their Cleaning, Restoration and Sealing forum.
Here is a link that might be useful: John Bridge Tile Forums
I have used several things over the last 15 years. Our tile and grout are a light gray or white with gray. The first product I used was Finazzle, which was expensive to use considering the amount of tile we have. I used it with a toothbrush and it took some time to get all the rooms done. Worked okay but I didn't like the smell.
The next time I used Windex. Found out by accident that it worked just as well as the Finazzle and was alot cheaper. My tile took on a slight bluish cast for a while, till it dried. Maybe the Multipurpose stuff which is clear would be better. Still used the toothbrush to the grout.
The last time I did the whole house, I used Tile Lab, which I found at Home Depot. It is more reasonable than the Finazzle was but more than the Windex. It was much easier to use, I sprayed it on and used my mop - did a great job on the tile itself and I only had to use the scrub brush in the most traffic areas and the areas in the bathrooms where the overspray falls on the floors.
I am anxious to get a Shark Steam Mop to try on the tile. The shoulders sure do get tired these days with scrubbing. But I would use the Tile Lab again as it is the lesser of the three as far as wear on the body.
You don't say how the grout was after the Tile Lab. I have used Finazzle on on my white porcelain floors and white tile and didn't think it did a very good job and was a lot of work. Mine were sealed. The Finazzle was almost like muratic acid as it burned my skin and anything else that it touched. Will never use it again. However, before I get in a professional was wondering how the Tile Lab worked on the grout. The Shark steam mop is great on the floors but really doesn't do much for the grout.
I like Finazzle myself. I use blue Windex for lightly soiled grout too, because it is cheaper, but in areas where the grout gets really bad, I have to Finazzle a couple of times per year. Although it is kind of harsh on the hands, I checked the pH and it is neutral, but I'll agree that it smells bad. The tile itself gets cleaned with a good stiff solution of OxyClean in hot water. I mop it on and then suck it up with a Hoover Floormate. Scooba was nice for touch ups until her battery pack croaked.
Porcelain tile is essentially glass and glazed ceramic tile is close, so they don
Thanks! I thought I would update. I ended up using Zep on the tiles and got a really stiff brush with a handle to get in there. It worked great and now my grout is quite clean again. I actually think that mopping my floors had pushed dirty water in the grout. I just got a Shark steam mop from all of the glowing reviews here, so hopefully that won't happen again.
I spent much less than $375 so I am quite pleased!
I think the Tile Lab did a good job without as much scrubbing as the Finazzle. I use it now more frequently in areas where the grout gets dirty so I am preventing it getting too bad. I wouldn't use Finazzle again cause of the cost and smell, which really bothered my sinuses. I am hoping to get a Shark canister type that has the mop with it so I can use it too.

Best Uses
Comments about Rocky Mountain Sunscreen SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, Tube, 6 fl oz:
I have fair skin and both of my parents have had run in's with skin cancer, so I am extremely cautious about getting too much sun. I have used sprays with the same spf and other lotions trying to find the best one. I can't rave enough about this lotion. If i compare this to all other lotions (with the same spf), I typically burn somewhere/sometime with the others. This one, I just dont burn. If i anticipate a full day in the sun, i find most lotions wear off and even when I reapply still dont provide the protection I need. I end up trying to find an umbrella somewhere by the end of the day. But this one, I apply 30 minutes before I go out. I reapply probably once and I just dont burn. Its super water resistant and sweat resistant and just works. So if you are looking for all day protection, don't just pay attention to the SPF. I have not found any other brand, with the same SPF, to work as effectively in protecting my delicate skin. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product

follow up question about tape removal at end of job
On second thought, I kind of like the green frog accent line. Maybe I will just leave it there...........(kidding). But, I do wonder if I could leave that until we get moved in.
Is it best that the tape come off sooner rather than later?
What about touching up in places where I missed the floor and the tape and blotched on to the white walls? How do I best touch that up?
The sooner, the better. You get the best lines when you remove the tape while your paint is still wet. If the paint is dry it can peel off the wall with the paint. If you have that problem try using an exacto knife to score lightly along the tape. I am not totally sure what you are asking in the second question..
In terms of touching up, just paint over the part where you missed or blotched on. The paint that is relatively fresh (not cured) should blend quite easily. If it has been some time since the walls were painted, the touch up may not blend completely.
I PURPOSELY leave it on for a number of hours....OR, even the next day.
Then, using a sharp snap-blade knife, score the tape/paint edge, and remove.
LAZER-straight lines...and I'm fussy!
Here's the deal-
>>> Modern paints dry so fast that you ALWAYS have to score that edge.
>>> Unless you can pull up tape within 5 MINUTES, score the edge!!
>>> Paint binds TO ITSELF real quick, i.e, as a FILM unto itself...NOT to the wall/primer. THAT "paint-to-wall/primer"-bond literally takes DAAAAaaaaayyyys.
>>> I usually mention this to our customers.
faron79 - if it takes daaaaaAAAAAyyyyys for the paint to adhere in a tight bond to the paint, then shouldn't I wait days for the paint under the tape to adhere to the trim so that it will not pull up as easily?
Do I have to score through all the paint layers covering the tape or only the top layer?
Oh, I didn't know. Waiting 30 days is not compatible with the pace and schedule of a renovation.
Now that we didn't wait 30 days, what do we do? Do we pull it up or wait the additional days now?
Again, do I score through all the paint layers covering the tape of only the top layer. There are 5 coats of paint at this point.
Should have used blue tape made for delicate surfaces( orange core) to start with.
Actually , you should not have used any tape at all, but that is another thread
"There are 5 coats of paint at this point."
5 coats??? Why?
Score the tape and pull it
5 coats plus the primer. That was because a dark gray/blue primer was used for a floor that was to be yellow. The first 2 coats of paint looked dingy green. The next two coats got it to uniformly yellow except for the cut in edge. That still looked greenish. tonight I hope I put on the last coat. I used green frog tape as per the suggestions I gleaned from this site. Tomorrow is moving day. I will score and pull as soon as we are settled. Thanks for the advice and comments
Ahhhh, you are the "floor" person from another thread.The frog tape works well but there is not a tape in the world that will come off clean with 6 coats of paint on them. Take your time and keep a new blade in you're snap off knife and you will be OK
I don't really agree that all tape needs to be scored. I use Benjamin Moore and C2 paints mostly and never score anything. The best time to pull tape is about 1/2 hour after you have completed painting. But, if I pull the tape the next day it comes off just fine without scoring. I think the scoring issue has to do with what paint you are using and perhaps which tape. I have only used the Frog Tape once and it seemed to pull just fine without scoring so I'm a bit confused on this one. Also, on many jobs I will paint trim and then tape it off 2 hours later and then paint the walls. I hardly ever pull off trim paint doing it this way. You just need to make sure your trim is clean and dull before painting it. If you paint over a dirty slick surface, then your paint isn't stuck and may be easily removed when you apply tape to it.

2 Reporters Arrested At Ferguson McDonald's
FERGUSON, Mo. (CBS St. Louis/AP) — Two reporters covering the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer in a St. Louis suburb say they were arrested at a McDonald's Wednesday evening in the commercial corridor where angry protests have occurred.
Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of The Huffington Post say they were working in the fast-food restaurant when SWAT officers came in to quickly clear the area. Both quickly tweeted about their arrests, detention and subsequent release without any charges.
Reilly tells KMOX News that officers were trying to clear out the restaurant.
"I was just packing up, and I evidently did not move quickly enough," he says.
Reilly says an officer banged his head on the restaurant door and sarcastically apologized for it.
"None of them were wearing name badges, I don't know why," he says. "Over a dozen times I asked for an identity, I asked for a badge number, and all the officers standing around heard my request and ignored it."
Reilly said he believes they were released so quickly because they were journalists. He realized during his interview with KMOX News that he was not read his Miranda Rights.
"I wasn't even Mirandaized," he says. "I did not even think about that until you just mentioned. I was never given…nothing…wow. I should really know that as a justice reporter. I sort of knew it by heart, but I was never given my rights, or anything like that was mentioned."
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson did not immediately return a cellphone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Earlier Wednesday, authorities urged people to confine their protests to daylight after three nights of tense confrontations, looting, tear gas and a second shooting nearby.

Episode Reviews (21)
More trouble for Jericho...
Jake is worried when Eric doesn't return with the rest who went to New Bern. It seems that something is amiss at New Bern so Jake enlists Hawkins to go with him to find out. What they find is a factory that now is a mortar making factory with the intent on raiding Jericho. The reason for the attack on Jericho? Anderson has been spilling lies about Jericho hoarding food and supplies amongst other lies to incite an angry mob into a frenzy attack. Jake finds Eric alright. In jail, where he lands when he gets himself in trouble which is his second favorite thing to do. Now Hawkins must defend Jericho.moreless
When Eric doesn't return from New Bern, Jake and Hawkins go exploring.
Superb episode.
When the men helping to build wind turbines in New Bern are returned early, but Eric isn't with them, Jake and Hawkins go exploring and discover that the mayor of New Bern is planning a war against Jericho and he's telling lies to the population in order to gain support.
He using a factory to make ammunition and when Eric and Heather found out, Eric was imprisoned and Heather was killed.
This was a real thriller of an episode with the main storyline as detailed above increasing the tension again and again.
A minor storyline showed that Gail and Johnston have difference ways to dealing with April's death, Eric's absence and with Mary.
Skylar tries to be emancipated so she is free to do with the salt mine as she pleases. Mayor Gray doesn't agree with that.moreless
I mean...the episode was good but I dont think its as great as everyone makes it out to be. Just because the episode excels in a couple of scenes doesnt make it the best of the season. You have to look at all of the aspects of an episode before you give it a rating, not disregard the filler scenes and only grade the good ones. Jake/Hawkins scenes were a 10, but the rest of the episode was a little under par.
I thought Dale/Sklars part of the episode was the most boring I have ever seen there storyline. I have been one of the ones that has liked their storyline since the start and I was dissapointed by the lame storyline that they came up with them with Grey in this episode.
I also didnt like any of the scenes with Johnston and Mary, I thought they were all pretty boring and filler. Couple of things that might have gotten then attention of a viewer who likes Mary/Eric, but other then that nothing really there.
Ending? Obviosuly pretty cool as it looks like we have the story arch for the remaining episodes. But not the top 5 episodes of the season as the rating makes it out to be.moreless
Marvelous episode!
Bonnie (signing): Thank you.
Stanley: For what?
Bonnie: Letting Sean stay.
Stanley: You're welcome.
Bonnie: And for not calling him an idiot, even when he is one.
Stanley: Okay, if you know that...
Mimi (clears throat): Sorry, just a little frog in my throat. Don't let me interrupt your nice sibling bonding moment. That's what it is, right?
Bonnie (continues signing): Sean can be an idiot, but he can also be really great. All guys are like that, you have to put up with the "idiot" stuff...to get to the "great" stuff.
Stanley (chuckles): Yeah? And where did you come by that little pearl of wisdom?
(Bonnie points at Mimi)
Mimi: What'd she say about me?
Oh what would i do without these awesome "family" moments!moreless
great episode
Stanley and the other guys come home to Jericho earlier than expected. When Eric doesn't come back with them, Jake starts to worry and asks Hawkins for help in finding him. Jake and Hawkins head off to New Bern in search of Eric. When they get there, they are greeted by gun wielding citizens. The leader of the town Constantino tells them that Ravenwood passed through New Bern and terrorized everyone. One of New Bern's citizens tell Jake and Hawkins something that they're not aware of. This episode shows a mystery that gives the show another dimension, we're now in a totally different territory. This episode was well made.moreless
It's about time wars started. The town seemed too isolated from the consequences of the bombs.
I just loved this episode. Can't wait to see how the conflict evolves. War is one of my favourite themes and I must say they did it right. All the reasons for it are there. Mainly the resource strain and greed. It seems that mayor Anderson thinks too much about himself and too little about others, not to say that he starts bending the law and that's why people will take justice into their own hands. On the other hand people in New Bern are hungry and have a factory which was transformed so it can produce mortars. All they need is a pretext to raid Jericho as the plan is already made. There are all the ingredients needed for a bloodbath and it will be hard to avoid it as things have already been set in motion. It's time to see how good is Hawkins was trained because this kind of situations should not be strange to CIA.
Offcourse this episode is not all about war. In fact there isn't any shot fired, but this is what interested me as I really wanted to see how the winter crysis will be solved.moreless
Saving the best till last.
The writers have put in place a new threat to Jericho, a neighbouring town called New Bern who seem hell bent on attacking Jericho after supposedly sending Ravenwood to there town to attack them, so now they want payback. This all came to light after Eric doe's not return with the other men from New Bern after making the wind turbines so Jake along with his new accomplice Hawkins go and find out where he is, after being turned away by the New Bern's mayor and sheriff, knowing Eric's in trouble they decide to do a bit of snooping and find a munitions factory, Jake is captured and placed in prison where he finds his brother, he also learns that Jericho is in trouble and Heather is dead.
As we reach towards the end of this fascinating and exciting series Jericho is building up for a thrilling and cliffhanging seasonal finale.moreless
Question about Episode 19 - i hope someone can help
Is it me, or have I completley missed an episode in which they meet the people of New Burn. The episode where April dies.
Can someone help on that. I just do not understand when did Eric & the men went to work there How did April die...I don't get it.
I follow this show week by week. Please help if you can.
Damn it, how can he do that?! to destroy Jericho? It's good that Jack and Robert are working together, cause for sure they will stop this madness! I mean, Robert was prepared for this kind of situations.
Not Jericho is the one who should prepare, constantino and New Bern should do that, because Jack will revenge Heather's deth! And not only ... but they will see after!
And poor Mary, it's hard for Gail to accept her, but i think she will .. one day, they will become best friends. But for the moment, I understand her cold for Mary, but at less it's good that Green is trying to accept her and make his wife do that to, even is a little bit difficult.moreless
Spectacular episode - good follow up to A.K.A with Hawkins and Jake teaming up. And.... Season 2 is a GO! "OohRah!"
This episode is the set up for the story arc that will conclude Season 1 with a building conflict between Jericho and New Bern; and, according to Producers, the death of one of the town's leaders. Who will it be?
The Jericho men taken to New Bern are unexpectedly brought back early with 4 of the windmills they helped build --- but Eric is not among them. Russell, Heathers friend, says trouble is brewing because they think Jericho wont pay for the windmills with food and salt as agreed. The Crockett and Tubbs ("Miami Vice") of Jericho team up and head to New Bern to find out what happened to Eric and uncover the New Bern mystery. After a short visit to town they see the town hall all shot up and children who are very hungry. They are told they dont know where Eric is, so Hawkins and Jake get a tip to meet in a trailer park - they grab a deputy and Hawkins proceeds to do his Jack Bauer ("24") imitation to get answers; and explains to Jake it not actual torture that gets results, its the threat of torture. They are shocked to find that Constantino and his cronies are planning to conquer Jericho and divide up Jericho themselves like feudal lords. Jake manages to get himself caught by the guards while Hawkins escapes and makes plans to rescue Jake. Jake is put in a cell across from Eric and finds out that Heather discovered the factory was primarily being used to make bombs and mortars; and also reveals Heather is DEAD - or is she? Sheriff Constantino drags Jake and Eric before his people and tells them lies such as Jericho sending Ravenwood to attack them, hoarding food while the people of New Bern starve and sending Jake and Eric as spies. Hawkins lurks in the darkness waiting for the moment attempt a rescue. The visit to New Bern shows how desperate things have become in urban areas that cant grow their own food. You can survive without power, but not without food. One can only imagine what larger cities are going through with the food production and distribution networks in chaos.
This episode sets up an action packed ending to Season 1 - The big news this week came from Jerichos producers with the news we have all been waiting for: Ask the Producers response to a Jericho Wiki viewers question about the final episode of Season 1 - "Episode 22...is most definitely not a series finale! In fact, by the time it's over,you'll have some great clues about where our story is headed in its second season." YES !!!!!moreless

Reservoirs Are Filling Up Fast
After weeks of reporting on flooding, river levels around eastern Idaho have finally fallen this week. Local News 8 reports that the Palisades reservoir is only at about 40 percent capacity. While that may seem low, it has risen quickly over the past two weeks, at about 1 percent a day. Palisades power plant supervisor Russell Anderson said over the last two weeks they have decreased the outflow from the reservoir by more than a third, which means the reservoir is now filling up. All other reservoirs around eastern Idaho are full or near full capacity, except for Jackson Lake, which sits at 57 percent.

Plum Rootstocks Mariana 2624 vs Krymsk 1
I wonder if anybody is growing plums on these rootstocks and can share their experience. Can you please comment on tree vigor, size, how long until the trees fruit, ...etc? Thank you.
I've had plum and pluot on Krymsk1 for about 6 years. It is very dwarfing, bears early, and has given very high quality fruit. I have taken out a couple of those trees mostly because of too much water stress. That's what gives me the high brix but I had one tree in particular that the stress was so bad even with extra water the the fruit shriveled up. When I dug it out with much effort it was a mass of roots. Maybe it was just that spot.
Most of my trees on 2624 are young but growing well. I'm moving to it from Citation because of too much crown gall on Citation.
All my stone fruit on any rootstock including Lovell and Nemaguard bear the 2nd leaf if they get well established the first leaf. But that is in a greenhouse with a 300 day growing season.

Will purple-loosestrife damage liner and get out of hand
If i planted about 8 purple loosestrife in a bog with the surface area of 300 sq. feet, spread around a pond - all this with a liner - if i planted those, will the seeds really get out of hand and fill it up - or do only a few seeds that are missed by dead heading usually make it>?
do their strong roots have the potential to harm the 45 mil liner?
Purple loosestrife is evil.
So say the National Arboretum, , US Fish and Wildlife, New Jersey Invasive Species Council, and me. Seen it do hideous things right here on Long Island. Please research this invasive pest before you decide not to plant it.
Right on KWoods! For that matter ALL plant material should be researched before planting. Gardeners who give in to beauty at the garden center often regret their purchases. while I do grow some plants that may be considered invasive (no p. loostrife here). I have studied their biology and taken appropriate action to prevent their further spread, either through dead heading immediately after flowering or by planting them within barriers.
I am a strong advocate of RESPONSIBLE gardening. Learn what you are planting and where you're planning on planting it beforehand, this way you don't unleash something you and your neighbors (not to mention the local environment) will regret when it's too late!
My neighbor grows it in a very confined area between the house and the driveway (about 3' of ground), beside his a/c unit from which the plant receives the condensation and therefore stays moist. This is the ONLY condition under which I would grow it. It is illegal in most states to even grow it.
These are acceptable native plants that the Adirondack Park Agency suggests as alternatives to the truly evil Purple Loostrife:
Winged Loosestrife (Lythrum alatum)
Blue Lobelia (Lobelia syphilitica)
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
The New Jersey Department of Agriculture has an active program to eradicate this plant, including biological controls.
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife is working on programs to save the habitat of the endangered Bog Turtle from this plant.
With the taxpayers of New Jersey paying to control or eradicate, it amazes me that your state has failed to declare it a noxious weed and make planting it unlawful.
There is no acceptable conditions in which anyone should be growing this pest. Anyone who thinks they can control it despite the published research and widely visible evidece is misinformed or arrogantly exhibits a callus disregard for the welfare of their immediate and surrounding environment.
Please research this further before you plant this noxious weed in or around your wetland.
Wayne in the Adks.
you're joking, right?
that's like inviting a crackhead to house sit for you.
8? you'll go away for a weekend, and they'll have taken over the homeowner's association.
yeah. right. and George Bush meant 'no child left behind' to imply that he was going to start promoting an interest in classic literature.
at least kudzu, and water hyacinth are sensitive to the cold. we don't have that luck with this loosestrife.
I hope that everyone hasn't scared you away. They all have great points and you probablly shouldn't plant it and if you bought it from some buisness you should either report them (if your state cares) or at least talk to them about it.
That being said, there is so much of it around that your little planting probably won't hurt anything if you were to do it. Well, it would take over your bog garden and kill all the other plants you have planted, so i guess it would hurt something. But you wouldn't be the worst person alive.

Comfortable, clean and well set up apartment, helpful manager. Easy access to metro and the city. Close to shopping centre. Could walk to city centre and Sagrada Familia. - Anonymous
I like staying in a real neighbourhood where real people live, and that exactly what we got. I also like having room for us and our children. In fact this was the first time ever that the two of them have had their own rooms.
We also all really liked the proprietors, Rosa and Fernando. At the end of our stay the kids asked if we would get to see them again, and if we could meet their kids! Sadly that wasn't in the cards (we had an early morning flight).
We will definitely book with them again. - Anonymous

TSAs Evolution of Security blog
HHS Secretary Leavitts blog
Are you ready to leave the sidelines and try Web 2.0 communication and collaboration tools? If so, you might still find it difficult to know where to start. Which tools do you use? Who at the agency should be involved? Those are important questions, said Frank DiGiamarino, vice president of strategic initiatives at the National Academy of Public Administration. But before answering them, he said, keep in mind three suggestions. 1. Have a notion. Just because it seems like everyone else is doing it is not a valid reason to plunge into Web 2.0. You need to focus on the business problem and the specific community you need to engage to solve that problem, DiGiamarino said. If a blog or a wiki is the best mechanism to get input or start a discussion, then go for it. 2. Just do it. Staging a test project is often a prudent choice when dealing with traditional technology projects, but thats not so when it comes to many Web 2.0 applications. You cant pilot an interactive Web community, DiGiamarino said. Once its out there and it gets going, youll find it hard to take it away. The better choice is to start with a smaller, lower-profile project but one thats nevertheless the real deal. 3. Tap your organizations inner Web 2.0. Think you dont have in-house Web 2.0 experts? Of course you do. They are the department managers and frontline workers who wrestle with your organizations toughest challenges every day, DiGiamarino said. That is what makes their participation in interactive Web applications so valuable. Creating new silos to manage this process is a big mistake, he said. John Zyskowski

I worked at Western Wats part-time (more than a year)Pros
It was nice to get a paycheck each week. TGIF indeed when it was the beginning of the weekend and pay day. Your pay depends the number of surveys you complete and the time it takes to finish them. My supervisors were professional but very relaxed and flexible. I've screwed up a few times and they let it slide. That can't be emphasized enough, the work environment is the epitome of business casual.
I have social anxiety and it get pronounced over the phone where you cannot hear a person as well. Though after say the first month, I still felt nervous but it wasn't as paralyzing as before and you'll feel more confident as you memorize your surveys.
The schedule is very flexible, it was easy to go to school and pay rent at the same time. You can easily reschedule as well, provided its done in advance.Cons
Your experience entirely depends on what kind of survey you are doing. The short and easy ones that take less than three minutes or the long and tedious one that take up to 45 minutes. The reality is almost ALL surveys are boring, just some are more than others. You will be bored and frustrated if you don't get a complete in two hours. There was a few times where I had zero completes in the entire six hour shift.
Some people can handle it better than others, I am not surprised the turn over rate is high. I'm surprised I managed a whole year and I'm a naturally restless person.
Sometimes you get sent home early, its a pleasant change once in a while but there are times you get sent home early day after day, for not completing enough surveys in time (which isn't always in your control) or just some silly reason. Those phases are infrequent but they do suck because money suddenly becomes tight, its almost like holding your breath.
Before I got laid off, I didn't receive a notice at all that the call center was closing down. I was fortunate to meet a supervisor in the store randomly. Maybe they didn't care because I've heard a rumor that we were the worst call center of them all. I don't know how true that is.
Overall I say this. You can't go wrong with this company, the work itself is boring as hell but almost everything else makes up for it.Advice to ManagementAdvice

U.S. Health-Care Costs to Top $4 Trillion By 2016
Federal forecasters predict that U.S. health-care spending will double by 2016, to $4.1 trillion per year.
That's one-fifth of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP).
Health spending in 2006 was projected at $2.1 trillion, or 16 percent of the GDP.
"There is a relatively modest and stable projection for 2006 to 2016, with an average growth rate of 6.9 percent," John Poisal, deputy director of the National Health Statistics Group at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), said during a Tuesday teleconference. He noted that with projected growth rates falling slightly in 2006 and 2007, "that would result in five consecutive years of slowing growth."
But the projected decelerations didn't impress outside experts.
"We haven't solved the health-care cost problem," stated Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund. "There was a lot of feeling when the 2006 numbers came out and we were growing at about 7 percent a year, that maybe it wasn't a continuing problem. But, I think even growing at 7 percent a year you see that by 2016 we are going to be spending 20 percent of the nation's economy on health care. I think it says we've got to get serious about doing something that really improves the efficiency of the health-care system and not just shifting money."
Here are other highlights from the report, prepared by CMS actuaries and Medicaid Services and appearing in today's online edition of Health Affairs:
Many of the changes reflect cost shifting, Davis said.
"They're trying to deflect costs onto other parties," she said. "What we really need is a transformation of the health-care system that gives us value for the money we're spending. We clearly have to do something about the underlying rising health costs that affect everyone."
Many Stroke Patients Affected by Hospital ErrorsHospital procedures need to be modified to reduce the risk of medical errors and adverse events in stroke patients, U.S researchers say.
A new study found that 12 percent of stroke patients had suffered adverse events during treatment.
Researchers analyzed data on 1,440 stroke patients admitted to Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center between July 2001 and December 2004.
Of those 1,440 patients, 173 (12 percent) suffered a total of 183 adverse events, defined as an injury to a patient during medical management. Adverse events are not necessarily the result of a medical error, which are incorrect actions or plans that may harm a patient.
Of those 183 adverse events, 86 were preventable, 37 were not preventable, and 60 were indeterminate, the study said.
Of the 86 preventable adverse events, 37 percent were transcription/documentation errors, 23 percent were failure to perform a clinical task, 10 percent were communication/handoff errors between health providers, and 10 percent were failed independent checks/wrong calculations.
"Although most patients who experienced a preventable adverse event were not seriously harmed, adverse events do lead to temporary discomfort, longer hospital stays, and, in some cases, serious injury or the potential for legal action," study author Dr. Robert G. Holloway, of the University of Rochester Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.
"If these figures were applied to the nearly 1 million patients admitted to U.S. hospitals each year for stroke, 50,000 to 100,000 patients may experience an adverse event related to an error," he said.
The study is published in the Feb. 20 issue of Neurology.
Health Tip: What Happens During Coronary Bypass Surgery?When arteries become blocked by fat, cholesterol and other substances, blood flow to the heart is blocked.
Coronary bypass surgery sidesteps the blockage from these substances -- collectively called plaque -- and restores blood flow to lessen a person's risk of heart attack.
Here's are two possible ways to accomplish a coronary bypass, courtesy of the American Heart Association:
Either of these methods will allow blood to follow a new path, bypass the clogged portion of an artery, and restore a free flow to the heart.
Health Tip: Signs of Binge-Eating DisorderBinge eating occurs when a person habitually overeats.
A person with the disorder often eats quite rapidly, may not stop eating when they are full, and usually feels unable to stop.
These actions often are a response to stress, anger or being emotionally upset, the Nemours Foundation says.
The foundation offers this list of common warning signs:
Words Can Help the Healing
For years, Harvard researcher Susan Bauer-Wu has worked with people struggling with a dreaded diagnosis -- cancer.
Many turn to support groups, psychotherapy or antidepressant drugs to help them cope with the fears and challenges the illness brings.
Her team offers them a pen and paper.
Those are the only tools required for a simple, increasingly popular intervention called "expressive writing" or "journal therapy."
The research suggests that by spending 30 minutes each day for four days to write out their innermost thoughts and feelings, patients can significantly boost mental and physical health.
And experts say nearly everyone who tries journal therapy stands to benefit.
"Many people are so surprised at how it really works," said Bauer-Wu, director of the Cantor Center for Nursing and Patient Care Research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "Even people who were reluctant to do it, who say, 'I'm not a good writer, I can't write well, or I don't like to.' They'll go through the process and have that 'A-ha' moment. They'll tell us -- 'Wow, I never realized this about myself, or about this disease -- it just came out onto the paper.' "
Expressive writing therapy is just that: Patients are encouraged to express whatever is on their mind, letting their hopes and fears flow out in a natural, unrestrained way. It's akin to keeping a journal, but more focused on the things that might be bothering you or triggering stress.
"We tell them, 'Don't worry about the punctuation, the words, just go with the process,' " Bauer-Wu said. "We also encourage them to build on whatever they have written before."
The result, for many patients, is a kind of catharsis -- a release and articulation of issues bottled up inside -- and also a healthy coming to terms with some of those issues.
"It's about stepping back and thinking about things in a different way, making linkages," explained Dr. Robin Fivush, a professor of psychology at Emory University, in Atlanta. She's conducted her own research on expressive writing.
"It's not just about expressing the emotion, because then you'd just ruminate on it," she said. "If you take a close look at those who benefit from it most, you see a lot of them using what we call 'cognitive processing' words -- 'I realize, I understand, now I see that.' "
Insights like these appear to help patients with cancer or other illnesses cope better, studies suggest. "I just read one review article that contained over 140 studies on this subject, and it seems very effective," Fivush said.
Bauer-Wu has conducted three studies of her own, tracking the effects of journal therapy for patients with breast and other cancers. She noted that while the classic program involves 30 minutes per day of writing for four days, cancer patients "may require more than that."
"In my work, we do a four-day intervention, but then repeat it a month later and then a month later again," she said. Patients can write using a pen and paper or computer. Surprisingly, about half of younger, computer-savvy participants in one study opted to handwrite their journal entries. "What's most important is that you find that place each day where you can most freely write," Bauer-Wu said.
"One of the things that's been found in cancer patients across different studies is what we call 'improvements in health-care utilization,' " she said. "Patients end up going to their doctor or calling nurses less frequently. They need fewer sessions with a mental health counselor. Basically, they are having fewer physical symptoms and coping better."
Indeed, there's data that suggest that writing out your emotions eases stress and, in turn, boosts the immune system. "We're not sure how that might work," Fivush said.
She added that the therapy does work better for some patients than for others. Preadolescent children, especially, will probably not benefit. "We think that they may not have the cognitive or emotional skills [at that age] to work through things on their own," Fivush said.
According to Bauer-Wu, patients who are solitary and private by nature may benefit the most.
"There's a lot of hype about support groups, but we know that some people just aren't 'talkers,' " the Boston researcher said. "To me, expressive writing is a wonderful alternative for these people. It gives them a way to express their feelings and process what's going on in their minds."
It's important to note that patients who engage in journal therapy don't write with any intended audience in mind. In most cases, according to experts, they don't even have to read back their own journal entries to benefit. "It's the act of writing that seems to be important," Fivush said.
And, as treatments go, expressive-writing therapy is cheap. "Obviously, there's nothing fancy or high-tech that's required, and you don't need to spend money on a therapist," Bauer-Wu pointed out.
"It's right there, it's self-care," she said. "People can heal themselves."-----
Pregnancy Hormone May Ease Multiple Sclerosis
A hormone produced during pregnancy may benefit multiple sclerosis patients, a Canadian study finds.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects about 2.5 million people worldwide. It occurs when the body's immune system attacks myelin, which insulates nerve cells and plays a critical role in the transmission of messages from cell to cell. Reductions in myelin lead to a progressive loss of sensation and movement in MS patients.
Interestingly, MS goes into remission when women get pregnant. Since prolactin is a hormone that is produced during pregnancy, the researchers sought to determine if prolactin was the reason behind MS remission during pregnancy.
"It was thought that during pregnancy, [women's] immune systems no longer destroyed the myelin," study author Samuel Weiss, of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute of the University of Calgary, said in a prepared statement. "But no previous study has tested whether pregnancy actually results in the production of new myelin, which may explain improvement of symptoms," he said.
In the study, published in the Feb. 21 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers counted hundreds of cells in the brains and spinal cords of mice. They compared the cells in pregnant versus virgin female mice of the same age.
The team found that the pregnant mice had twice as many myelin-producing cells and continued to generate new ones during pregnancy. Even after giving birth, the once-pregnant mice had 50 percent more myelin coating their nerve cells.
The researchers also found that prolactin mimicked the effects of pregnancy, increasing both myelin production and repair in the mice.
If future research confirms the benefits of prolactin in animal models of MS, Weiss says the hormone will be ready for testing as a treatment for people with MS.

"A Classic Rolls Spray Painted Paisley"
This was horribly over dramatized and extremely disappointing. Did they even listen to what they created after it was in the can? The sound effects are 50s not 70s sounds. Star Trek in the 60s had better sound effects.
The voices are so uneven I can only hear some dialog in a quiet room. If I hadn't already read the trilogy to the point of knowing what the dialog was supposed to be, I could not have followed the story. The vocalists for the Mule did not fit the part. Too strong a voice for what the character was in the book.
This was a free selection for joining and I still feel like I paid too much.

Sens. McConnell and Paul take their mutual admiration society show on the road
The public message from Kentucky's two Republican U.S. Senators was crystal clear over the weekend: they're on the same team.
U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul were liberal with the praise for each other at their first joint appearance on the 2013 Lincoln Day Dinner trail in Spencer County on Friday. It comes amid rumblings that some tea party groups want to see McConnell face a challenge from the right in the 2014 election.
Paul told Pure Politics on Friday that he "doesn't see it happening." Here's what else he said:
McConnell, the Republican U.S. Senate Leader, told the 280 Republicans at the dinner that Paul has "brought to the Senate what it really needed" and thanked Paul for running in 2010 to replace Jim Bunning in the Senate.
McConnell also made his first in-person pitch "to bring industrial hemp to Kentucky." McConnell endorsed efforts to legalize the crop last week after discussions with Paul and state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer (watch the video above to see what he says about that at 1:05 of the clip).
Paul, meanwhile, returned the favor and opened his remarks by praising McConnell for using his influence to get Paul on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Last month during outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's appearance before the panel, Paul asked her pointed questions about the Sept. 11 attack on U.S. officials in Libya.
Among those in the crowd who heard Paul's public thank you to McConnell was John Kemper, the former Republican candidate for state auditor who has been among the most vocal tea party activists calling for a challenge to the senator next year.

Are two trades better than none?
Ryan Fancey
June 06 2012 11:45AM
With Vokoun off the market and Roberto Luongo supposedly set to meet with the Canucks sometime this week, you can count on the goalie talk surrounding the Leafs to pick up substantially, especially with the NHL and AHL playoffs wrapping up.
I guess this is a fairly easy observation to make, but it's quite likely that we'll be seeing two substantial moves from the Leafs to address the goaltending, or none at all.

Burke also traded up for Pronger; will he for Yakupov?

June 06 2012 07:42AM
Late last night, Jonathan Willis commented on a quote from ex-player-turned-agent Igor Larionov when discussing the upcoming prospects of his clients Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk. Larionov stated that it's possible Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke trades his draft pick up to get both Yakupov and Galchenyuk.
Willis commented that Burke did a similar manoeuvre at the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, shifting several stones to bring Henrik and Daniel Sedin, two future franchise players, to Vancouver, giving up their first round pick in the following season and then-young defenceman Bryan McCabe.
What would it take for the Leafs to land Yakupov and Galchenyuk?

Earlier today, we ran an interview between Andrey Osadchenko and Igor Larionov on this site. Larionov is the agent for two of 2012's top draft prospects – Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk – and among other things he made the interesting suggestion that the Leafs might attempt to land both players (who are also teammates in Sarnia).
Is it possible?

After talking to Nail Yakupov, the Nation Network's Andrey Osadchenko had a chance to sit down with his agent (and Hockey Hall of Famer) Igor Larionov. Larionov represents not only Yakupov, but another player - Alex Galchenyuk - in contention for a top-five spot at this year's NHL Entry Draft.

I got him in Kestron's Friend Safari, while I was hunting for a shiny Talonflame and training Greninja for my metagame team. (Help me out with this? I have Ice Beam, Surf, and Mat Block. I need a fourth move.) I named him Dukkey, because his hair looks like poop.
Now I just need a shiny Panpour to complete the monkey trinity, though I'll need to have someone with a Panpour in their FS. Also someone with Noivern, because I want a shiny Noivern for my team.

Thanks to jda95's FS, I caught a Hasty (my Synch Gardevoir failed me, but Hasty's still a benefitial nature) Protean, shiny Frogadier. Caught in a Dusk Ball to boot!
I want to thank Zima for that helpful Capture O-Power, because Frogadier was a bitch. So in honor of her help, I named him Vodka.
The name "vodka" is a diminutive form of the Slavic word voda (water), interpreted as little water: root вод- (vod-) [water] + -к- (-k-) (diminutive suffix, among other functions)
I caught a shiny Phantump today, and it's female. I need help coming up with a name for her.
Meet Barkley, the Hardy Beartic. And with him, I now have a box of 30 filled with shinies, plus my lucky charm, my special shiny buddy who I always carry with me.

"The invitation turned out beautifully. I loved the colors and design. Your designers helped with the text. I was just great."
"Loved the rainbow colors and fun fonts on this invitation. Some of the font types/sizes seemed a little strange, and choosing alternate styles resulted in a slightly offset type, but probably only noticeable to me :) Definitely a hit for a first birthday invitation!!"
"I loved this on the website and how I could personalize it so much and I am even more in love with it now in person, I am so happy and excited to send these out for my sons big first birthday. Thank you for your quick service and awesome prices for great products"
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"I got this card for my daughters 1st birthday, and I loved them! The party is rainbow theme, so they went with that. I wanted something with good quality but didn't want to pay an arm and leg! The paper the cards come on is very thick and the pictures look great! I definitely will be using tinyprints again for cards! They also got here really quick after I ordered and they come packaged in a box so they wouldn't bend before you get them! Very happy with my purchase!"

WHAT on earth is this? see picture...
Hi, I saw this weird stuff growing on one of the branches of my Persimmon tree. What is it? Seems like there's a few ants feasting on it too, it scraped a little with a spade and it seems hard.
Anyone know what it is?
Konrad, you have oak galls. The wasp is a carnivore looking for some meat. If the galls are still there, cut one open. You likely will find a tiny white worm, the actual gall. The Persimmon looks like it has scale. The ants farm the scale and eat the sugary drops they make. Nature generally keeps both pests at a low level.
Galls rarely hurt the oaks (can kill small branches), scale are a time bomb waiting for conditions that allow them to explode their populations. Persimmons shed copious amounts of small branches, and since scale are usually only on small branches, they get shed along with the wood.

Defending champion Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-4 in the final of the Madrid Open Sunday to both retain her No. 1 ranking and collect her 50th career title.
With the top ranking at stake, Williams stormed out to an early lead as Sharapova struggled with her serve.
The second-ranked Russian briefly recovered her poise in the second set, but Williams' form never dipped as she eased to the title.
"I'm very happy, many thanks,'' Williams told the Caja Magica crowd in Spanish before being hoisted aloft by the ball boys to celebrate the trophy.
Williams improved her record against Sharapova to 13-2, with her only two losses coming in 2004.
It was Sharapova's first loss in a red-clay final after winning her previous seven.
Later, local favorite Rafael Nadal seeks his fifth title of the year since returning from a left knee injury against Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.
The 31-year-old Williams, playing in her first red clay final since 2002, dominated Sharapova from the start as the Russian never managed to steady her erratic serve.
Sharapova committed five double faults in her first three service games, dropping the first two as Williams eased to a one-set lead. Her shaky serve let Williams gear up and land several winning drives before closing out the first set with a floating return that clipped the line.
Sharapova earned and took her first break chance to open the second set, opening up a 3-1 advantage.
But the former No. 1 ranked player's serve would again betray her as she hit another double fault to cede back her break after Williams had set up three break points with her precise groundstrokes.
Williams closed out the final after Sharapova recorded her eighth and final double fault before hitting the ball long to give up her fifth service game.

Jazz owner, Karl Malone kiss and make up (figuratively)
Apr 5, 2012, 9:52 PM EDT
Remember earlier this season when Jazz legend Karl Malone and Jazz owner Greg Miller were feuding over how the firing of Jerry Sloan went down and loyalty within the organization. Thing is the Sloan issue was a year old and Sloan himself had to tell them to shut up already. Well, if all of that…
Nothing interim here, Jazz sign Tyrone Corbin to three-year deal

When owner Greg Miller was speaking at the press conference following the resignation of Jerry Sloan, he was very clear — Tyrone Corbin was the new coach of the Jazz. Not interim coach. Just coach. Now he has put his money where his mouth is, inking Corbin to a three-year deal. Terms of the deal…
Jerry Sloan says no, he is not coming out of retirement
Feb 23, 2011, 5:05 PM EDT
You can almost picture Jerry Sloan taking this call from a reporter and in the middle of it yelling "you kids get off my lawn." The old school coach who walked away two weeks ago told Chris Tomasson of FanHouse he is not returning to the Utah Jazz now that Deron Williams has been traded…
