Project safely stores CO2 from commercial industrial operations,
enhances oil recovery in nearby depleted field
WASHINGTON – Following the one year mark since the release of the President's Climate Action Plan, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) - in partnership with Air Products and Chemicals Inc. – today announced a major milestone, successfully capturing more than one million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the hydrogen-production facility in Port Arthur, Texas. Using an innovative technology called vacuum swing adsorption, the project captures more than 90 percent of the CO2 from the product stream of two commercial-scale steam methane reformers that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere. In addition to the secure storage, captured carbon from the project will be used to help produce additional, hard-to-access resources from existing nearby oil fields. In total, Department of Energy projects have captured and securely stored nearly 7.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide to date, equivalent to taking more than 1.5 million cars off the road for a year. In just the last year since the release of the President's Climate Action Plan, these Department-supported projects have stored approximately 2.8 metric tons.
"To date, Energy Department projects have helped to capture and securely store nearly 7.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that otherwise would have been released into the atmosphere, helping to lay the groundwork for more widespread use of carbon sequestration," said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Chris Smith. "Next generation carbon capture technologies like those deployed at the Air Products facility are a crucial part of the President's all-of-the-above energy approach, helping to ensure that we are powering our industries as efficiently, sustainably and cleanly as possible using all of America's abundant energy resources."
Air Products' vacuum swing adsorption project, supported through the Department's Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage (ICCS) program, is one of several ICCS projects advancing and deploying CCS technologies at commercial and utility-scale. Construction of the facility was completed in March 2013, on time and under budget.
Using Port Arthur CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery
In addition to demonstrating their vacuum swing adsorption technology, Air Products is also helping verify that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an effective method for permanently storing CO2. This method would not only allow the CO2 to be stored underground, but also increase oil production from fields that were once thought to be exhausted.
Captured CO2 from Port Arthur is reused at the depleted West Hastings Field in southeast Texas during the EOR phase. Using this method, West Hastings is likely to yield as much oil as it would from traditional production activities. It has been estimated that the West Hastings Field could produce between 60 and 90 million additional barrels of oil using CO2 injection.

Holes in everything
This spring we began noticing holes in our clothing, especially sweatshirts and t-shirts. We instantly thought moths. More recently we have found holes in items in every closet, dresser and storage area. We recently discovered, after finding them on some window seat cushions, that it is carpet beetles (larvae) doing the damage. We have had the pest control company here twice but are afraid to put anything back in the drawers or closets. They are even in the car now since we have been taking so much stuff to the cleaners. Has anyone ever heard of this? Will we ever get rid of them? How?
I've heard of them--I'd say call a pest control place. Sounds like a major infestation and it may be time for real, and serious, chemicals. I hate to use them myself--but sometimes one doesn't have a choice. If I ever had a major pest problem, that required professional(sp?) intervention, I'd stay in a motel for a few days. Good luck! Melanie
Try placing cedar caches in your drawers and use the cedar bags that you can hang in the closets. Cedar has some natural repellent that keeps insects at bay same as eucalyptus.
As for the exterminator, call them. Have them inspect your home to find where they are entering from. Then have them treat.
We had these pesky critters in our pantry - seems they will eat almost everything. They had infested all our flour, cornmeal and even hot pepper flakes! Obviously, we did not want to use insectesides around our food. We were advised to put dried bay leaves in all our flours and meals, and it worked! Maybe you could make up pot pourri of bay leaves and place them throughout your closets and dressers. It might keep the bugs away and your clothes will smell nice too.
soap shavings and mint are also good. I always toss a couple of hotel soaps up in the closet shelves.

A power trowel handle has controls that permit electronically operating the functions of an engine on the power trowel from the handle. The engine includes a servo controlled carburetor which will permit injecting, upon initial closing, a circuit for starting a quantity of fuel for starting a two cycle engine, which normally has to be done manually, as well as permitting control of a throttle using a trigger switch on the handle. The power trowel further has an elongated pole braced with a slider to prevent twisting under torque and to permit better control of the power trowel from a remote handle. The handle grip is usable in either the elongated pole position, or directly on a shroud for the power trowel.
1. An attachment for a power trowel for remote control of the trowel by manual operation comprising:
a D-shaped handle having a hand grip with a central axis for being grasped by an operator;
a frame attached to upper and lower ends of said hand grip and extending outwardly therefrom to form an enclosure for a hand gripping the hand grip;
said frame having a tang supported thereon for engaging a pole;
said tang having an outer cross sectional shape corresponding to an inner cross sectional shape of the pole; and
said tang being inclined downwardly from a horizontal position when the axis of the hand grip is substantially vertical to correspond substantially to the angle of a pole on which the hand grip is mounted.
2. The attachment of claim 1, wherein the cross section of the tang and the cross section of the pole are non circular.
3. The attachment of claim 1, wherein said tang is adapted to be fitted into a housing sleeve attached closely adjacent to the trowel, and is removable from the end of the pole.
4. The attachment of claim 1, further comprising:
control means for controlling a carburetor on the power trowel, the carburetor further having a servo motor throttle control;
said control means including an ignition switch that provides an impulse of current to the servo motor throttle control to fully open the servo motor throttle each time the ignition switch is turned on.
5. The attachment of claim 4, wherein the hand grip includes a throttle control trigger for providing a control current proportional to the trigger position to the servo motor operating the throttle.
6. A control handle for a power operated implement having an elongated pole connecting the control handle to the implement, said implement being powered by a two-cycle engine having an ignition circuit and a carburetor thereon having a throttle valve and a servo motor control for the throttle valve of the carburetor, the control handle comprising:
a control circuit carried by said handle and including an on/off switch for the ignition circuit;
said control circuit including a portion providing a current to said servomotor of the power operated implement whenever the on/off switch is turned to an on position, sufficient to open the servomotor throttle and provide a charge of fuel to be moved to the engine of the implement; and
said control circuit including a portion providing a timed length signal for disabling the portion providing current to said servomotor for opening the throttle after the on/off switch is turned to an "on" position.
7. The handle of claim 6, wherein said opening of said throttle is controlled to be momentary.
8. The handle of claim 6, including a remote starter control and a remote throttle control on the handle operably connected to said two-cycle engine for controlling the engine from the handle.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/690,251, filed Jul. 24, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,803,657.
The present invention relates to improvements in a manually operated power trowel including handle mounted controls, for performing all of the functions for the engine from a remote handle through electronic circuitry, and also improvements to guide the handle to provide a very stable platform against excessive torque generated by the trowel.
Various power trowels have been used for finishing concrete. These power trowels have a centrally mounted power unit such as an internal combustion engine, with a shroud and handle for rotating a troweling assembly which rotates about a vertical axis beneath the power unit and shroud.
The structure shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,452 illustrates a small power trowel on which the present improvements are applied. The power trowel in patent '452 has an internal combustion (two-cycle) engine mounted on a shroud, and a remotely controlled throttle for the internal combustion engine utilizing a trigger switch at the handle. However, two-cycle engines used on power trowels have required manual setting the throttle to provide an initial input of fuel into the two-cycle engine. Setting the throttle manually to an open position provides an initial small charge of fuel for starting the engine. The present carburetors do include primer bulbs, but in most instances the initial setting of the throttle to introduce fuel into the intake manifold of the engine is sufficient for prompt starting.
The present invention has power actuated controls on a handle that can be used either on the remote end of a long pole that can be telescoping or fixed length, or the handle can be used directly on the shroud similar to that shown in patent '452. However, the handle is made very stable by providing a guide, operating preferably on a non-circular elongated handle to provide the functions remotely from the engine for satisfactory operation.
The present invention relates to a two-cycle engine control, as shown for use with a lightweight power trowel that has blades rotating about a vertical axis, and which has an outer shroud for providing a support for an internal combustion engine driving the blades. The trowel is operated through a ergonomically satisfactory D-grip type handle that includes electronic controls for operating the carburetor of the two-cycle engine, not only for the throttle or speed control, but also for initial starting and introduction of an initial charge of fuel into the engine.
The starting control on the handle further includes an electric starter for the internal combustion engine, which is preferably a two-cycle engine.
An elongated pole is braced with a sliding brace that closely fits around the handle and provides transfer of torque from the trowel blades to the pole through braces that are spaced outwardly from the center of the shroud in order to stabilize the machine more easily.
The handle is formed in a fashion that permits operator comfort, by having the D-shaped handle engage the long telescoping pole at a suitable angle so that the handle grip portion can be held upright while the pole tapers downwardly. This same handle can be removed from the elongated pole, the pole removed from the shroud and then the handle attached to the shroud.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a power trowel having a two-cycle engine control made according to the present invention installed thereon;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the trowel of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a part schematic representation of the top portion of a two-cycle engine used with the present invention showing a servo control for the throttle;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram representation of the control circuit used with the carburetor and servo of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged side elevational view of a handle used with the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of an elongated pole taken on line, 6--6 in FIG. 1.
A lightweight, easy to use power trowel is shown generally at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2, and an engine, preferably a two-cycle engine indicated at 12 is used for powering suitable trowel blades which are shown only in dotted lines at 14, and which can be mounted on a shaft and driven about a vertical axis indicated at 16 for troweling a surface on which the unit is resting.
The engine 12 has a battery pack and starter assembly 18 thereon as is commercially available, and also includes a carburetor 20, which as will be explained has a servo motor control for the throttle. Suitable gear reducers or other drives can be used for driving the troweling blades 14.
The troweling blades 14 will trowel a surface indicated at 22 in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,452, and these blades are made in that same manner.
An elongated control pole 26 is mounted on a frame or shroud 28, which forms a main support frame for the engine and trowel blades using a bracket 30 that is fixed to the shroud and may be suitably reinforced with respect to the shroud. The bracket 30 is held securely in position so that a coupler 32 can be pivotally mounted about a horizontal pivot axis with a pin 34 to the bracket 30. The pole 26 is slidably received in the coupler 32, and held in place with a pin 32A.
The pole 26 can be telescoping or made in sections, if desired, or can be a single length long pole, as shown broken away in FIG. 2. The pole 26 is also partially supported and braced with a pair of brace arms 36, which are mounted on the suitable brackets 38 also attached to the shroud 28, but on an opposite side of the central plane of the shroud from the bracket 30. As shown these brackets 38 are spaced apart adjacent the edge of the shroud 28 opposite the attachment side for the bracket 30. Arms 36, 36 are pivotally connected to the brackets 38 through suitable spherical rod end members, or similar connectors which will give a swiveling motion. The arms 36 then are connected to a slider 40 through ears 42 and, again, suitable rod end supports 44 (see FIG. 6). The rod end supports are fastened onto the ears 42 in a normal manner utilizing a bolt or a stud, and then the ends 36A of the arms 36 are bolted to the rod end members 44 so that the connection back to the slider 40 is a swivel type connection for the arms.
As can be seen in FIG. 6, the pole 26 and the slider 40 are both non circular in cross section and fit closely. As shown the cross sectional is hexagonal, but it can be any suitable non circular configuration so there is a resistance to twisting about the central axis of the pole 20, when a twisting load is reacted to the slider 40. The slider 40 is attached with a very close fit to the pole for insuring that torque tending to twist the pole about its longitudinal axis will be carried back to the pole 26 without any looseness, but yet the slider will slide so that the pole 26 can pivot about the axis of the pin 34 without hinderance. The slider 40 will slide up and down the pole 26 as the pole pivots occur.
The braces or arms 36, as shown, are spread where they are fastened to the brackets 38 so that there is a stable base for the braces to transfer torque loads tending to twist the shroud about a vertical axis, as well as about a generally horizontal axis back to the pole 26. When the trowel blades 14 are loaded, there is a torque load that has to be resisted by the pole to prevent the shroud from rotating with the blades and the braces 26 greatly stabilize the trowel when the long pole is being utilized in particular, and thus aid in controlling the power trowel housing.
The direction of movement of the slider is axially along the pole 26 as indicated by the double arrow 49 in FIG. 2.
The pole 26 and the engine 12 are controlled by an operator using an ergonomically designed D handle 50 that is removably coupled to the pole 26, as shown perhaps best in FIG. 5. The D handle has a grip portion 52 that is configured for gripping by the hand of an operator, together with a throttle trigger switch 54, which is used on a rheostat or other similar variable signal controls to provide a proportional current to a servo motor used for operating the throttle on the carburetor 20 on the trowel. The D handle has a frame 56 with an outwardly extending tang 58, which as shown, is inclined downwardly to simulate the angle between the D handle from a vertical line along the handle frame indicated at 60, to the central axis of the pole 26. This is about 18� below a horizontal position when the hand grip 52 is gripped in a hand and is held substantially vertically with a normal length pole 26.
The tang 58 is held in place on the pole 26 with a pin 64, the tang 58 closely fits inside the non circular cross section pole 26. This permits the operator holding the hand grip to exert a rotational resistance on the pole if the trowel tends to twist or move around the axis of the pole.
The D-shaped handle 50 has a circuit board chamber 66 at an upper end 64 of the handle, as indicated by the dotted lines. This is where the electrical components can be housed. A suitable electrical cable 68 is provided from the circuit board and components and through a plug or coupler 70 to receptacle or second coupler 71, which is connected coupled to a line 72 that extends down along the pole 26.
The reason for having couplers 70 and 71 is so that the D-shaped handle 50 may be removed from the long pole 26, and slipped into the coupling 32 by removing the pin 32A and taking the pole 26 out, and then slipping the handle tang into the coupler 32 so that the handle is very close to the trowel and can be used for fine finishing or very close control of the trowel.
The printed circuit board 66 will receive its power from the battery pack on the engine indicated at 18. The D-shaped handle 50 also has a housing at the top for a pair of side by side rocker switches 74 and 74A one of which is pushed for completing the ignition, circuit and also as will be explained, providing for an initial loading of fuel into the carburetor. The second switch 74A is a conventional starter switch.
Referring to FIG. 3, a schematically shown carburetor 80 is illustrated on the top of a two-cycle engine 82 that is again merely schematically illustrated. The carburetor for this two-cycle engine is made by Walbro Fareast, Inc. and is generally made in the manner shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,335,061, which utilizes a rotary type throttle valve, and which can have a suitable primer on it as well.
In this type of a carburetor, the throttle valve is moved to a full open position to provide an initial charge of fuel into the two-cycle engine intake manifold represented schematically in dotted lines at 84. This charging of the cylinder prior to starting has normally been done manually, and was done manually with the arrangement shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,452. The '452 patent included a servo for the throttle control in the same manner as this disclosure.
The carburetor 80 includes a body 86 that is mounted on the two-cycle engine 82, and the throttle valve is a rotary valve represented by dotted lines 88, which is connected to a shaft 90 that has a throttle control lever 92 drivably mounted thereon. An idle stop or adjust screw 94 is utilized to engage an end portion 96 of the throttle lever 92.
A servo motor control indicated at 100 is used with this carburetor. The servo has a crank arm 102 that has a crank pin 104 connected to throttle link 105, which in turn, in the form shown, is connected to an adjustment screw 106 mounted on the throttle control lever 92. Crank arm 102 will move in proportion to current received by the servo 100 in a normal manner, and will, in effect, control the position of the rotary throttle valve 88 as a function of the drive current received. Further, this crank arm 102 can be moved to a full throttle open position initially for providing a charge of fuel into the internal combustion engine, as is normally done with a manual throttle control. The servo is made by Futaba of Taiwan, their part no. FP-5148 and is supplied with the carburetor.
In order to control the servo 100 in a manner is to permit starting the engine from the remote handle 50, the circuit board includes, as schematically shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, a suitable circuitry including a one shot or similar electrical control indicated at 110 that will provide a "full open" amount of current to the servo 100, to operate the linkage 106 open the carburetor valve represented at 88 in the schematic diagram, through the operation of the lever 92 to its full open position by moving the servo arm 102.
The movement provides an initial charge of fuel each time the switch 74 is turned to this on position to also close the circuit to the ignition illustrated generally at 114.
The switch 74A is a starter switch which will energize the starter 18 to crank the two cycle engine and cause it to start after the initial charge of fuel has been provided.
In order to prevent flooding of the engine if the switch 74 is turned off and on, a time delay indicated at 116 is connected in the circuit between the on/off switch 74 and the one-shot 110. This time delay normally is closed so that the initial signal from the on/off switch 74 will reach the one-shot for energizing the servo, but once the one shot signal is provided, the time delay 116 is connected to the output of the oneshot through a line 118 and will start a preset time delay to prevent the one-shot from being fired a second time until a selected length of time has gone by.
Additionally, a time delay 121 is used in the main line from switch 74, which will disable the line from the on/off switch if the switch 74 is left on for too long of time. The time delay 121 is disabled if there is a "run signal" indicating the engine is running received before the time delay timeout. The run signal can be a signal from some engine component such as a generator or alternator.
A throttle control indicated at 124 using the trigger 54 is included in the D handle and will generally provide for a pivoting connection indicated generally at 54A in FIG. 6, which will in turn permit the trigger 54 to operate a variable resistance or other control that will vary the amount of current provided to the servo when the unit is energized. This throttle control is similar to that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,452.
The present arrangement provides stability for a wider variety of shrouds and bigger diameter troweling blades, using a remotely held pole. The control circuit provides electronic control of an engine completely from a remote handle so that a manual setting of the throttle or priming is not necessary before starting.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Insurance advisory SKCG Group has hired Wayne Siebner to boost its alternative investments practice.
Siebner will focus on directors and officers and errors and omissions insurance, targeting hedge funds and private equity firms. Both types of insurance protect investors from regulator investigations and investor lawsuits.
His title will be senior vice president and manager of executive and professional liability.
"Asset managers tell us that their institutional investors want stronger, more comprehensive risk management controls in place and that having comprehensive E&O/D&O coverage is an essential part of those controls," Richard Canter, chief operating officer, said. "The addition of Wayne's experience and contacts will help us enhance this key segment of our business at a time where demand for this risk management tool is on the rise."

Growing cilantro
I'm zone 8 half hour from the coast in Newport, NC by Morehead City. I think cilantro is a cool weather herb because it gets nasty when it's hot. Anyone have any input on growing it during the cool months here, in containers, etc.? I do a lot of ethnic cooking. Thanx!
It will grow like a weed during the winter so you could just designate a section of your garden for it. Mine is up now from seeds that fell from the mother plant last fall. I guess they sprouted during one of those warm spells.
This year I am gonna try growing Culantro during the summer since Cilantro can't take the heat. It is a similar tasting herb but not related at all.
When I was in Puerto Rico I remember a friends yard had Cilantro growing in it so there must be a warm season version of it. It was very strong tasting so a little went a long way.
Trianglejohn: I've seen your name often on this forum. Assuming your lows up there are colder than what it gets here on the coast. We've hit below freezing a few times. Cilantro survives freezing?? Also a quickie tip that has worked for me is to chop it and put in the freezer for additions to things. Not the same as fresh but always here. Do you do any kind of Mexican peppers like serrano or ancho or problano/poblano [spelling]? Glenda on the coast
Glenda - I am kind of a fixture here on GW. Its because my job requires me to sit all day and monitor a computer for files coming in from other states. I get to play games or chat online but I can't leave the computer. You'll notice that I rarely post anything over the weekends (I tend to stay as far away from computers as possible during my down time). I live just south of downtown Raleigh in zone 7b. Things survive in my yard that folks on the north side of Raleigh struggle with AND things do better yet at PDN the big fancy plant nursery 10 minutes further south from me.
Cilantro is an all winter long herb around here but it does suffer frost burn on its leaves during really icy or snowy weather. It also stays kinda low to the ground during the winter and fills out during early spring when there is more light as the days lengthen and things warm up. I find that plants over-wintered this way bolt (go to seed) very early if we have a long warm spell in the spring and that plants started in the spring make bigger plants before bolting. To me, a little cilantro goes a long way so I don't try to grow a lot of it and I don't mind picking some up elsewhere during the summer when I want to make salsa if my plants are shot. You'll find that when the plants mature (get taller and the leaves change shape) they get a really strong harsh flavor - some people still eat it then but I don't like it.
I grow a lot of sweet bell peppers. This year I will have a few jalapenos and poblanos (same as anchos) along with the skinny black ones (I can't remember the name but it means 'raisin' in Spanish I think). I have a lot of unusual pepper seeds but my garden isn't big enough to grow them all so we'll see - whatever does the best will tend to dominate the yard.
I like to make Salsa Cruda - the uncooked fresh salsa - during the summer when the temps are hot.
triangle: back to the peppers and off the cilantro for a minute... Park's seed catalogue [expensive but much variety] lists many peppers. the hole mole is also a pasilla and turns a deep brown and has a nutty flavor. it is a mainstay for making mole' which is a mexican dip/sauce. the poblano dried is called an ancho. the poblano is the one with the raisin like sweetness. the seranno looks like a skinny jalapeno but hotter. yesterday I was looking at peppers at a grocery store. some were dried and some fresh. I picked a few dried seeds from the bins in the store because I have lots of luck growing seeds from inside both dried and fresh peppers. all of our best plants last year were started using seeds from store bought peppers not purchasing the seeds!! we wound up with sweet reds, hungarians and jalapenos this way! I will plant the poblanos soon as well as some dried cayenne. I picked up dried anaheims too. I winter over pepper plants in containers in the garage with a south facing sun beaming in on them with temps even in the 40's during the day. I have hibiscus in bloom, geraniums and even strawberry plants with fruit on them in January this way!! Inside with a humifier running are a variety of houseplants that sit out during the summer and spring and propagation "central" in a sunny south window in the spare room. I've found that even my testy plants survive the winter in the garage much better than inside [ferns and bougainvillea to name a few]. over and out...
Glenda - I'm not sure where or when I bought all these seed packets but I have probably 25 different types of peppers to grow. My personal favorite is your basic bell pepper, completely ripe (red) and with thick walls. I eat a lot of jalapeno's and may try pickling some this year but I would have to grow a ton of them to can enough for me. I also eat them roasted and stuffed with cheese. The dark thin one I have is Bajio Pasillo. I have sprouted it before but have never sucessfully gotten fruit. I don't have a lot of space so I usually end up growing mostly bells.
I got tired of storing plants in every window or under the house for the winter so I now build a simple pvc pipe hoop house that I heat with a small electric heater just enough to keep it above freezing. I tear the whole thing down each spring and it breaks down into small sections of pipe which I bundle and shove under the house.
I sell plants at the local flea market (and farmer's market) so most of my precious space is devoted to small potted plants.
thus far the old cilantro seeds have not shown their faces in the sunny window but being patient. going to transplant into the garden soon if they do. still have to turn the soil and do additives. have so many hobbies wish I could sell some of my plants like you do. a 24 hour day isn't long enough. looking forward to growing the poblanos. little mexican gal we know loves em and I want to experiment making chili relanos with them. filled with meat and cheese, they are deep fried with an egg batter with stiff egg whites and the yolks. thanx for all the input regarding peppers and cilantro. glenda
mmmm- drool coming out. nothing better than chile rellenos. real chili rellenos with pobalanos. jsut so ya know, there's one vendor at the state farmer's market each yr that sells poblano pepper plants each yr, and one of the veggie vendors has poblanos in the fall.
cilantro seeds can take an agonizing long time to sprout. they like cool- try popping them in the fridge for a week. i always soak my parsley seed because it takes so lng otherwise.
tamelask: did a quick search and came up with a site run by authentic Mexican gals looks like! check it out. what gets me is we have many people here on the coast from that area yet I find the restaurants fail to duplicate the wonderful flavors that can be reached cooking it at home [if you know how]. the prices are horrible for ingredients that cost very little [tortillas/peppers/cheeses to name a few, so I am working on perfecting my own meals. happy eating and cooking!
Here is a link that might be useful: Rellenos poblanos
I've eaten Chile Rellenos from a bunch of different places including south Texas and Northern Mexico and there are some regional differences. I like the ones with the crunchier egg batter on the pepper. They always look like a lot of work to make but I'm thinking if you spend an afternoon making them you could freeze them for later..... now I'm hungry!
did you check out the rellenos poblanos link I posted at the bottom of the post? as in all areas, there are regional differences in manners of cooking. once I master a few things I wish to cook, then I will do some of the regional researching. need to perfect a thin salsa first. have a little mexican gal I know who helps once in awhile and she wants to come over and "cook in MY KITCHEN", vs going out to eat. if I could just learn how to make Dos Equis life would be perfect! ;-) suppose you are going to go out for a mex lunch or want me to email you a few rellenos? ha ha L8r.
I meant that there is a difference in the egg batter, some cooks just cover the pepper with a thin wash of batter while others somehow get a crunchy thick eggy batter to stay on while it fries. Everyone I've ever eaten was made with poblano peppers. In the winter time when it is cold outside - chile rellenos, rice and beans, sour cream and guacamole is at the top of my list.
looks like "cilantro" started a Mexican cooking thread! ha ha. Something else I do which is YUMMY is to take Hungarian/Anaheims/or jalapenos and slice in half lengthwise. remove seeds. rinse if you don't like much hot. dry really good with paper towels. stuff with cream cheese [lower fat works too]. stick in the freezer for a while. without thawing, dip into either an egg mixture and cracker crumbs [nabisco is good], bread crumbs [Italian is nice too] OR a beer batter or onion ring batter you get in a package. deep fry quickly. cheese will ooze out if not removed before it melts inside the coating. homemade poppers!! they call me LE COOK.
back to the cilantro- I planted some this fall and was convinced the seeds were bad. That is until about 1 mo ago when the sprouted. I think it took 2 months for them to germinate! Maybe it was that cold snap that got them going.
BTW- why is it that cilantro grows in cool weather, tomatoes in hot, but you need both for good salsa?? I would love a source for the culantro mentioned by TJ. I think he daid it tolerates warmer temps.
This summer I am gonna try both. I'll sprout Cilantro inside under lights and move it outside to grow and harvest before the heat does it in. I'll also try to find some seed for Culantro as a back up.
I think I saw seed for Culantro in either Johnny's or Territorial Seed catalog.
I remember reading somewhere that some people didn't like the taste of Culantro and they thought it was nothing like Cilantro.
believe I mentioned above that I chop and freeze cilantro for use when I "just want it handy". the flavor doesn't seem to be any different frozen. have availability to buy it whenever I wish however I cook on whims sometimes and have just about anything I want stored. working on finding tahini right now [will make my own if I cannot get it or buy from Lebanese restaurant]. last night [TJ] finally got the rellenos made. turned out fabulous! only prob was I didn't blacken the skins enough to slip off easily but didn't seem to matter. batter was not crunchy like you say you prefer [will deep fry next time maybe]. made pinto bean HOMEMADE refried beans, homemade salsa [quick version], pico de gallo with avocado and Mexican style salmon [all as authenic as I could with time envolved]. first attempt was just great! cilantro seed busted out this a.m. finally and starting some cole crops a bit late tomorrow. g.
I think to make the thicker batter you need to double batter. To do that you use whatever breading you like, then dip in an eggwash and roll it in your breading again.
I've been collecting cilantro recipes for my son... here are a few that cilantro lovers might enjoy. I think some tahini added in would be good too and might mellow it some. You could freeze the cilantro pesto and then just add some of that to fresh salsa once it's too hot to grow it around here.
Cilantro Pesto
3 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 cups fresh cilantro, lightly packed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice (I think half lime would be lovely too)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Place the garlic and cilantro in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. With the processor running, slowly add the oils, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.
Place the pesto in an airtight container and freeze for up to 4 months. To thaw, microwave on low for 2 to 3 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings
Cilantro Pesto
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup almonds, cashews, or other nuts
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons olive oil
Celtic Sea Salt to taste Blend the cilantro and olive oil in a blender, add other ingredients to make a nice smooth paste, then go ahead and add some nuts and/or seeds: pistachio, cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds. Cayenne pepper added to anything has a synergistic effect, making all the other ingredients work better.
Cilantro Pesto
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (vitamin A)
2/3 cup flaxseed oil (omega's)
4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)
2 tsp dulse powder (minerals)
Sea salt to taste (minerals)
Process the cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch to sea salt to taste and blend again. Freezes well
Cilantro-Pepita Dressing
1 medium Anaheim Chili, roasted -- peeled and seeded
3 tablespoons Roasted pumpkin seeds (Shelled) -- (pepitas)
1 large Clove garlic (increase to taste)
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper (or Cayenne Pepper)
1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
3/4 cup Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Grated cotija cheese
1 small Bunch cilantro -- stemmed (Better still, a packed cup of cilantro leaves)
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Water
Note: If cotija cheese is unavailable, use any hard grating cheese, such as cacique or even Parmesan.
Place chili, pepitas, garlic, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar and cotija cheese in blender or food processor. Blend about 10 seconds, then add cilantro, bit by bit, until smoothly blended. Place mayonnaise and water in large stainless-steel bowl and whisk until smooth. Add blended chili mixture and mix thoroughly.
Place in airtight container and refrigerate. Dressing may be stored up to three days. Makes about 2 cups.

Patients with colon cancer who used multivitamins during and after being treated with post-surgical chemotherapy did not reduce the risk of the cancer returning or their dying from it, according to researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
In a study of patients with stage III colon cancer — characterized as cancer in the large bowel area with some cancer cells in a few nearby lymph nodes — the researchers found that while multivitamin use had no beneficial effect on patients' outcomes, it also did not have a detrimental effect.
The findings are reported online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and later will be published in a print edition.

Its been 9 years and the company hasn't gone public or been acquired. Despite the work being good, realize that without an exit some of those people will start leaving for other opportunities - and some of those long term employees are the lifeblood of the company.
Scale the ambitions a little, cut the loss making ventures, focus on the best technologies, focus on making a profit consistently instead of off and on.
If you don't exit plan to get to a consistent state to exit, you will start bleeding employees.RecommendsApproves of CEO

The Wizards relied on 48 points from the bench -- led by Kris Humphries, Otto Porter and Rasual Butler -- to get their fourth consecutive home victory.
John Wall shows off his athleticism with a twisting layup, then draws the contact to complete a three-point play.
The Wizards are off to a historically strong start to the season, but how much has the schedule helped? Washington hosts Victor Oladipo and the 4-6 Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet.
The Wizards realize Evan Fournier, a great shooter, should be taken seriously Saturday vs. Orlando (CSN, CSNWashington.com and NBC Sports Live Extra, 6:30 p.m. ET).
The best teams in the NBA, such as the Spurs and Bulls, don't make it easy for opponents by giving away the ball too much and the Wizards are better than them.

The investors will launch an office park off the San Francisco coast in a year and are planning first settlements in the island seven years later.

New Granite Install - Backsplash Seam
Hi everyone, We just had our granite installed yesterday. I am happy with all of it except one place where two pieces come together on the backsplash. It is in a corner that is very visible. It looks like they tried to match the backsplash with the counter below, but the two backsplash pieces don't match each other. Does anyone know if a piece or two of backsplash can be removed and replaced now that it is in? Also, do you think I should ask them to replace it, or just live with it? Any advice is greatly appreciated - Thanks so much!
Was there a better piece left on the slab? I wouldn't be happy with just that one dark piece, but if you didn't attend the template layout and just let them cut how they wanted to, you can't really complain. You'll have to ask them if it can be replaced at your cost.
The abrupt change in color would bother me too. All you can do is ask what they can do about it. You'll never know if they could have done better.
Was there a templating done for you to see? This is why that's such a good idea. The problems can be addressed then. For all they know you might have wanted to purchase more stone if there was no way around it. Or maybe your standards are just higher than the fabricator's and you could have pointed it out then so he could have made some adjustments.
I don't think you are being picky, but after the fact, you can't know if it could have been avoided.
bring it to the attention of your contractor and go from there.
I have had granite installed by a stone artist, and he removed a piece on install day because he did not like the way it flowed. he wouldn't even let me comment, he just said he did not want it there. I waited another week then he completed the job.
I have had granite installed by three other companies (four installs total) who either did not give a s***, or lacked attention to detail, and made me feel bad for asking about details.
it doesn't hurt to ask, see what response you get. In three months, if it still bothers you, your request will certainly fall on deaf ears, if you ask now there is a chance to fix it.
Well, I'm super picky, my DH would say anal. But this would not bother me unless it looks more obvious in real life. It is stone. having said that, it would bother me on a flat surface. Go figure.
However, if it bothers you, I'd ask if there's anything that can be done.
In the photo, it looks like that one backsplash piece is the only dark piece in the entire installation. It might not be so jarring in RL if there are actually more dark areas in the installation. However, I can see why the OP is concerned about it ... having the dark and light butt up against each other like is rather unfortunate ... your eyes are just drawn to that spot! Teal123, if you are the type of person who is bothered by that sort of thing, having people tell you that it doesn't bother THEM isn't going to make a bit of difference to YOU. If it bugs you, ask the fabricator what your options are.

Is it too late to take cuttings from a fig tree
I am in NE Alabama It is early March and we are still having temps in the 30's at night. There is a huge Fig tree at a Blueberry farm near here that I would like to get some cuttings from. Can cuttings be taken now, Is there any best time? Or Worst time?
Cuttings can be taken anytime but the rooting may require different methods for green cuttings vs. the dormant cuttings. The best time for fig cuttings is when the plant is dormant from fall (after dormancy) to spring just before bud break. It does not mean that cuttings taken after bud break wil not root at all but will require additional care.
You did not mention the current state of bud opening.
Take a chance and take some cuttings. Try rooting and most probaly some will root. If not, it wil not be a big loss and try again in late fall with fully dormant cuttings.
No buds yet on the figs, Bradford Pears are blooming, a few other trees are starting to bud, but we are still forecast to have a freeze Thursday morning, and we usually have the last one in the first half of April. When I mention that I am in NE Alabama everyone thinks ALABAMA That's in the SOUTH and automatically think WARM.... L.A. ( Lower Alabama ) is a lot different than up here.
You should have no trouble growing hardwood cuttings now.
Prepare the ground where you want the fig tree to grow. Cuttings should be about 8 to 10 inches long. Some of mine are 12 inches long. Leave one bud above the ground. Water if dry. Thats all you need to do.
Click the link below and see how the professionals people take cuttings.

The goal of the H2H SY7 Challenge is for all patients discharged with a diagnosis of HF/AMI to have a follow-up appointment scheduled/cardiac rehab referral made within 7 days of hospital discharge.
The goal of the H2H MM Challenge is for clinicians and patients discharged with a diagnosis of HF/MI to work together and ensure optimal medication management.
The goal of the H2H S&S Challenge is to activate patients to recognize early warning signs and have a plan to address them.
Kick-start H2H at your hospital by utilizing the "Getting Started Checklist."

A 2% decrease in hospital admissions and emergency department visits can be linked to increased CMS support for primary care, the agency's chief medical officer, Patrick Conway, told the National Quality Forum's annual conference. He highlighted several population health and coordinated care projects, initiated by hospitals and physician practices, that have reduced costs and improved quality of care. HealthLeaders Media (3/25)
An American Hospital Association report calls for the government to change the Affordable Care Act's Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, stating "not all readmissions can or should be prevented." The AHA said the program creates frustration and confusion and its penalty formula for high readmissions fails to consider socioeconomic factors that affect rates. Healthcare Finance News (3/25)
