Ohio House of Representatives Approves Official English Bill.
Introduced by Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, the legislation would require the use of English in the majority of state affairs. Under H.B. 477, government agencies will be required to conduct official business and proceedings in English, helping to promote English learning among immigrants. The bill contains exemptions to comply with state and federal law, as well as to protect the health and safety of Ohio residents.
"As the number of Ohioans who struggle with English grows, the government must react swiftly to ensure that these newcomers are on the road to learning English and becoming Americans," said Mauro E. Mujica, Chairman of U.S. English, Inc. "H.B. 477 is sound government policy that will lead to the development of a more productive citizenry and reduce the likelihood of a permanent linguistic underclass."
To date, 30 states have made English their official language, including Arizona in Nov. 2006, Idaho in March 2007 and Kansas in May 2007. Since the beginning of 2006, official English legislation has also been approved in at least one chamber of the legislature in Delaware, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. A 2006 survey by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research found that 77 percent of Ohioans support making English the official language of the state, including majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
"Ohio residents have made it clear that they want state government to promote English learning among immigrants, not the permanent crutch of perpetual multilingual assistance," added Mujica. "I want to applaud Representative Mecklenborg and the majority of the House of Representatives for reflecting that belief in their vote today and I look forward to quick consideration of this matter in the Senate."
U.S. English, Inc. is the nation's oldest and largest non-partisan citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. Founded in 1983 by the late Sen. S.I. Hayakawa of California, U.S. English, Inc. has more than 1.8 million members nationwide.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, plenty of room. Theater and restaurants close by. The service was good and the breakfast served was a nice touch.
I wish the room had a microwave.
It was a very good nice room too. It was also spacious and clean. The breakfast was awsome, many different options!
The room itself was clean but the sheets were kind of sketchy. They were not that clean but not too firty. The location of the room was good but also close to the highway so we could kind of hear the traffic.
The room was spacious and clean, as well as the pool and breakfast area. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was the average continental breakfast.
Rooms open up to the outside...all you hear at night are other people's comings and goings. This is partly our fault as we went during our Spring Break, which also happened to be the same as Texas Tech, Texas, and tamu's.
Smokers stood outside their door, so you could smell smoke and weed as you walked by and in the room.
Not as close to the beach as I thought.
close proximity to a fishing pier / jetties/ beach; the breakfast and Cyndie the breakfast staff on duty. Night shift front desk Jeremy was excellent.
all good.
Ocean view was spectacular.
There was roaches in our room, non stop construction and lots of noise, the toilet would leak at night, which was pretty weird.
Location, proximity and access to beach was great.
Furnishings were worn out and tacky in appearance, kitchen area and appliances were dirty. They were doing remodeling so was noisy and dirty in public and outdoor areas.
The location was excellent. Across the street from Aransas Bay.
The hotel was quaint. Met all our needs for a week of fishing.
Private peer.
Restrooms had mold on shower curtain and tub. Also dirty towels and fridge smelled like fish.
The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating.
Location - only
Paint peeling in bathtub. Short in lamps causing lights to flicker or not turn on at all. Air conditioner inefficient.
the room was above average in size. the lobby was very clean and welcoming. the staff was friendly and cooperative.
the carpet was sticky, had to keep my shoes on. the tv didn't work, there were rolling lines across the screen. the coffee pot didn't work. emptied the styrofoam cup holding the cream and sugar so i could get a sip of tap water, a roach ran out of the cup when emptied. the shower is set so that the water gets no hotter than luke warm, but there's an abundance of it. looking out of the window, i was able to look directly into the neighbors window and had to keep that in mind during the stay so that i wasn't seen when changing.
Location, full breakfast, staff was very friendly and professional
The room was a good size, larger than your standard room but the couch had a tear in it, footprints on the wall by the bed, not properly vacuumed. It was a mediocre room in a small town so I didn't go in expecting much and wasn't disappointed.
Updated clean and nicely appointed. The staff and management were top notch. Felt welcome and comfortable.
That I slept through breakfast.
This hotel is lovely! The rooms are very spacious and the remodel is a classic Mediterranean feel. The Mediterranean meet the Mexican Gulf. I was there for business for 11 days and the service was excellent!The view from my room was awesome!
The location was 25 minutes from downtown. However the location is very, very, very safe...so it was a great trade-off.
I love being by the beach for sure. didn't have to drive if I was drinking.
it was a bit more for what I expected. the only good thing was the beach view. also it wasent clean since I got there on the side of the door there was dirty dishes till I left and I believe there still there. the beds also were so small they weren't comfortable at all!!I payed to much for 2 night when wwhat they need is to remodeled the whole building. don't believe the pictures it sucked!!
The bed was great!

5 Great Pieces of Cooking Advice From Movie (and TV) Criminals

Rose Hill Drive
Six years after forming and three years after exploding onto the scene, Rose Hill Drive has finally issued its debut full-length. Similar to the way Ford has retrofitted the new Mustangs to recall the classic look of the fastback coupes, Rose Hill Drive is a riff-driven throwback to the heyday of AOR radio; there's a distinct air of familiarity, but this clearly isn't your daddy's muscle car. The Boulder-based power trio has molded its cadre of classic-rock influences Cream, Zeppelin, and, to a lesser extent, the Beatles/Wings and Allman Brothers into an insurgent modern-rock composite with few contemporaries. The band members are blessed with undeniable, prodigious talent beyond their years, and that virtuosity is on display all over the album particularly on such mind-melting cuts as "Cool Cody," which features Jake Sproul's soaring tenor in harmony with brother Daniel's searing Clapton/Harrison-esque solo. Other highlights include a three-song acoustic mid-section, as well as subtle organ flourishes throughout. Forget rocking your socks off: Rose Hill has graduated to rocking your face off.

Strange one. Not sure it is needed if I am honest.

There seems to be a gap in the market in terms of Eastern MMA. Not enough places cover Japan etc.

Huh? Just saw this somewhere else too, what happened there?
I think that it's an opportunity for them to grow in smaller venues and not blow so much money. Should have started this way.
This wasn't mental illness. This was alcohol and ego.
In all fairness, I would usually agree with you but this was just a case of someone trying to come accross as macho. It was pure fabricated bollocks from the get go.

The "Masterpiece Collection" of the Nike Kobe Signature Series by John Kim 47 Comments
July 5, 2011 BY Aaron Hope / 0
After a relative lack of previews for upcoming models leaving us to guess that Nike Basketball was all but done with Kobe Bryant's sixth signature sneaker, the Fourth of July holiday has spilled over with the second wholly new Nike Zoom Kobe VI we've seen in two days. These are only the second Team Bank Kobe 6s we've seen so far but the Varsity Red and now this Midnight Navy seem to suggest a solid collection right around the corner and just in time for basketball in the fall.

Better than Gator
Lisa from Antigo, WI– Verified Buyer
Great car! Unlike the Peg Perego gator, this vehicle has the battery and weight in the back, which keeps the wheels from spinning, we had all kinds of problems with the gator and this has worked like a charm through all three of my boys over the last year.
Roy from Sebastopol, CA– Verified Buyer
We purchased this for our son's 5th birthday and he truly loves it! He was about to outgrow a smaller power wheels and we wanted to get something so he can ride with his baby brother. It is strong enough for them to ride through rough road on our property including some slopes and the battery life is reasonable. Assembling took some time but the instruction was very easy to follow.
Kids loves it!
Emily C from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
So far it has been a great purchase. My son, daughter and the neighbor boys love taking the dune racer around our neighborhood. Only downside is how long it takes to charge. He wants to ride it all the time!

there are alot of pawn shops in my area...do you think that would be a bad way to go since theres no telling what those guns have been through?
I know these guns catch a lot of hell from a bunch of people soley because of their DA revolver like trigger pull, but have you considered a S&W Sigma .40? I don't know about in MD, but they're usually under $400. If you don't mind the trigger, they're great, reliable guns.. I used to have one.
Oh BTW, I think a lot, if not most handguns are sent with a spent casing now, my Sigma came with one. Rock Island Armory 1911's come with spent casings too.
In many ways I agree with JD in that the .40 S&W round was an answer to a question that wasn't asked. I do have 2 .40s for one reason - ammo is available everywhere - even during shortages. I've never been a fan of the recoil impulse of the .40 as I find it very snappy with more muzzle flip than a .45 - even in the same size & weight gun. In any event, there are a lot of good guns out there and I agree that the used market may be the place to look.
I'm a fan of the classic Sigs (one of my .40s is a P229) and I also think the Springer XDs are a great gun and a good value. Never tried an XDm as it was never worth the higher price to me. Lots of folks like the S&W M&P and I agree that the Sigma is a reliable gun with a really bad trigger. If they fit your hand, you can always go with a Glock 22 or 23 - as they are what comes to mind for many when you say "forty"...
I checked gun shows and pawnshops before purchasing and the prices are more, even the used ones. Some pawnshops asked me my price and I gave them the actual best internet price for new pistol and none of them can touch it.
"Good people drink good beer."
Hunter S. Thompson
A lot of people have their favorite handguns and they tend to forget other quality guns out there on the market.
My son just bought a Jericho .40 S&W with 4 mags for just under $500, though retail price runs about $500-$550 new with 1 mag. you can find some good deals on it.
Between him and I we have already run about 250 rounds through it and not one problem, very accurate. It has a good feel in the hand, and a crisp recoil with the .40 S&W. The trigger pull is just a tad bit light if you have children so make sure you tend the weapon at all times and if not then lock it up.
I don't think one point has been made clear. You can buy online from someone out of state as long as the spent casing is shipped with the gun. You may not physically (in person) buy from a dealer in another state (i.e., your trip to a dealer in Delaware). So if you look at a site like gunbroker.com, you can check the description or contact the seller about the spent casing.
On gunbroker (don't know about other sites) you can also check for FFLs in your area who can do the transfer for you. Some dealers charge a percentage of the value of the gun when you do a transfer if you don't buy it from them, so that's worth checking out.
"An armed society is a polite society." Robert A. Heinlein
"After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."
William S. Burroughs
Thanks for all the help and suggestions so far...I'm gonna check out gunbroker and see what they have to offer and I'll go from there...so if the gun has a spent casing with it and i buy online, do they still have to ship it to a dealer or can they ship directly to me?

some awesome ideas
I got this book for a quarter at a yardsale...its called clever crafting flea market finds here are a couple of neat ideas....if you see one you like let me know and I will type out the instructions for ya...
the first is a bed head board and foot board quilt rack
the second is made from those old wooden indoor clothes racks
and my favorite is the pedestal towel rack how cute would that be in a kitchen or even a bath!!!(just change the silver ware to maybe crystal knobs some thing like that!
Here is a link that might be useful: Elegant Relic
I love all of those. Looks like it's a great book. I especially like the towel rack. Wish I had a bigger bathroom! ha Very cute. ~Anj
This is a great book for sure. I don't know if you should be posting photos, or offering instructions here since the book is still being sold elsewhere. It may be copyright infringement??
Amazon sells it as well as other places. You got a good deal as the book is still pricey. Here's just one link.
Mojo, you might not 'LOL' if you go to the Leisure Arts site and 'read' the FAQ. IF they should see this thread and your post...it could get nasty for this forum. Information about pictures and copyright info is about 3-4 down on the FAQ page.
Hummm, might be smart for the moderator...to delete this entire thread.
Here's a link for your reading enjoyment :-)
wired you need to police someone else...this is the third time you have commented on my posts (and not the three on this)....
Now did you notice a ton of people post there web pages on here?.......or are you to busy watching me?...am i advertising no...they have a choice to click my link or not...I go to tons of links that people have here...and I enjoy each and everyone...now as far as my page...will someone from here buy my stuff NO... they can make it themselves..hence trash to treasure site...
Im trying to take it as a compliment with you following me on here for the past couple of months but it is getting old...and I was thinking the same as robo... if they buy the book they will be able to get 50 more ideas....and this book will not disappoint as so many others I personally have bought....
(I wanna pull a jersey and say what I really feel but I will keep it nice)
I deal with enough stuff in mylife to have to deal with someone online....wired you make the site not fun and to add Ive never seen a post from you, except your little comments on my posts so im assuming it is an alias...so here is my prayer to you...find something to do with your life instead of being online policing things...(ebay people do that for you) so god bless, go outside because life is to short...
Here is a link that might be useful: elegant relic
Mojo, do you think you are the only one who deals with life? Yes it is short, but not 'you' or anyone else can tell me when or what to post. And you are wrong to say."wired you make the site not fun and to add Ive never seen a post from you, except your little comments on my posts so im assuming it is an alias...". I do compliment and post on other threads.
There is a lot of advertising from lots of people here and other forums, and you are right in saying most won't buy, because we are making it ourselves. It's not brain surgery for sure.
I too, (I wanna pull a jersey and say what I really feel but I will keep it nice), but I have just as much right to post as you do. Atleast I don't post to advertise my site, nor do I post information that is 'borrowed' just to generate traffic to my site.
You might want to 'practice what you preach'.
Have a nice day :-)
Robolady. Those are neat project pages. Funny thing happened, I was flipping pages to see your favorites and my receipt fell out. I bought this 7-8-02 @ Books a Million for $19.95 less 10% + tax. Who did you order from? I hope the Amazon or Leisure art links helps those interested in this book. It's hard to believe the book today is almost what I paid five years ago! So Mojo really got a deal on hers for sure.
Humm, pg. 56 caught my eye for a jewelry display case for shows or home parties. Instead of the dolls. There's too many favorites to list, now to find all the 'ingredients' to make them :-)

Parents whose daughter, 6, was killed in Newtown massacre reveal they met with Adam Lanza's father
The parents of a six-year-old girl who was gunned down in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre have revealed they met with the father of killer Adam Lanza.
Robbie and Alissa Parker said they wanted to speak with Peter Lanza as part of their grieving process and because they needed to 'get something out of their system'.
Their daughter, Emilie Parker, was one of the 20 children murdered by Adam Lanza during his shooting rampage at the Connecticut school on December 14. He also shot dead six staff members.
Scroll down for video
Grief: Alissa and Robbie Parker said they met with Peter Lanza for an hour to 'get something off their chest'
Alissa Parker told CBS This Morning that the meeting with the murderer's father had been her idea, and that it lasted for around an hour.
While she and her husband did not disclose when the meeting took place or what they discussed, CBS will air the rest of the interview on Friday and reveal more details about the conversation.
But the Parkers did reveal that they wanted to ask Peter Lanza about his son's medical history and about his relationship with his parents. He shot dead his mother Nancy before driving to the school.
'I guess the reason why I felt strongly that I needed to tell him something,' Alissa Parker said. 'And I needed to get that out of my system. I felt very motivated to do it and... I felt really good about it, I prayed about it, and it was something that I needed to do.'
'Closure': They met with Peter Lanza (left), the father of gunman Adam Lanza (right), for more than an hour
Robbie Parker, who was the first parent to speak out about his murdered child following the tragedy, said that their family has gone through 'a little bit of everything' since losing Emilie.
'You went from the absolute worst experience that you could ever imagine to have to go through as a parent... to being completely overwhelmed with outpouring of love and support from so many people,' he told CBS.
Last week, it emerged that Adam Lanza kept a 7-ft-long spreadsheet detailing previous gun massacres, including their death tolls and the weapons they've used.
But the Parkers, who have continued to meet with detectives since the deaths, said they just take this new information as it comes before moving on.
Missed: Their oldest daughter Emilie, right, was gunned down on December 14 with 19 other children
Angelic: The Parkers said they do not pay attention to news about Lanza as it does not bring Emilie back
'It always brings with it a period of sorrow, pain, and you deal with it and you just move on,' Alissa said. 'The outcome is still the same, regardless if it was planned, not planned... It doesn't change that our child's gone.'
Speaking live on CNN a day after the massacre, Robbie Parker said that he was praying for the shooter's family and held no anger towards them. He also paid tribute to his slain daughter.
'My daughter Emilie would be one of the first ones giving her love and support to all of the victims, because that's the kind of person she is,' he said, pausing a moment to take a steadying breath.
'As the deep pain begins to settle in our hearts, we find comfort in the incredible person Emilie was and how many people she was able to touch in her short time on Earth.
'Emilie's laughter was infectious, and everyone who met her would agree that the world was a better place because she was in it.'
Pain: The Parkers are pictured after they found out their daughter had been murdered in December
For his part, Peter Lanza has kept a
low profile since the day of the shooting, when a reporter told him that
his son was responsible for the murders.
Neighbours of Peter Lanza and Shelley
Cudiner said the pair packed up their car and left their affluent home
in the Stamford suburb of Westover, Connecticut, shortly after being
The news reporter who told Lanza that his son had committed one of the worst mass shootings in American history described the moment in the Stamford Advocate.
'His expression twisted from patient, to surprise to horror,' wrote Maggie Gordon. 'It was obvious that this moment was the first time he had considered his family could be involved.'
Peter Lanza is a vice president of taxes for GE Energy Financial Services and divorced Nancy Lanza in 2009 due to 'irreconcilable differences.'
Killed: Nancy Lanza, Adam's mother, became his first victim when he shot her in the face in their home
Remembered: A memorial in Newtown after the shootings shows the names of Lanza's victims
More than a week after the massacre, Peter Lanza collected his son's body and released a statement saying the family was also asking why his son would go on a shooting spree.
'We too are asking why,' he said in a statement. 'Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are.'
Twenty children and six adults were killed when Lanza opened fire on the once-peaceful town of Newtown, Connecticut, sending ripples of shock to through the nation and rekindling the gun debate.
The grade school shooting was one of the worst in history, second only to the 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech, where 32 people were shot dead.

Sooo…I've been trying to decide what I want to do for 2015. What my goals are, and what is really achievable. One of the things on my list is buying a house. I was sort of of the thought "Oh, I can't afford that." After doing a bit of research, I've realized that home ownership isn't that far of a reach, and with a little bit of work, buying a house is a realistic goal.. Hmmm…If you're like me, and pondering purchasing a home, read on for the steps to take.
Why Choose Bamboo Flooring?
Bamboo flooring durability is a prime consideration when choosing bamboo flooring. Bamboo is not wood; it is a grass that is amazingly a choice building material because of its strength, durability, and being eco-friendly.
Bamboo shoots are new growth from the fastest growing plant on earth and can reach heights over 50 feet tall. Since bamboo is a grass, it is harvested again and again from the same stalk, not like typical trees used for hardwood flooring that don't grow to maturity for 30 to 50 years and must be replanted each time.
How to Choose Air Filters For Your Family
Every homeowner needs to carefully consider what sort of air filter will be used in the house. A 3M Filtrete air filter from a place like Your Filter Connection is a good place to start, but there are many varieties of air filter to choose from. The homeowner needs to match the health needs of the family to the air filters that are placed in the furnace and the air conditioner.

Great Solutions for Small Space Living
This conversation about living in small spaces was sponsored by Pottery Barn.
When you are living in small spaces, like a dorm room or an apartment with many roommates, you need to invest in pieces that can do double duty. Storage is usually at a premium, and you have to be sure that your furniture pieces are in the right scale. Here are some tips to make the most of your small spaces. We'll be using pieces from Pottery Barn's PB Teen line to demonstrate the tips for small space living.
Spring Cleaning with the BISSELL CleanView Vacuum
Spring is a time of renewal. The winter cold fades away, the trees start leafing out, and before you know it, there's flowers and baby animals everywhere you look. Doesn't your home deserve some of this rejuvenation? I'm starting with spring cleaning and the BISSELL CleanView Vacuum.
I thought that my current vacuum was doing a good job. Sure, every once in a while I'd have to stop, untangle stuff, and then get back to work, but that was no biggie. I probably shouldn't have vacuumed over all that stringy stuff anyway. But, it seemed to clean up the dirt and debris with no real issues.
How to Deal with Clutter
Clutter. How does it happen? It seem like one day, you're perfectly fine, and the next thing you know, it feels like you're being overtaken by all this stuff. Where did it come from? And more importantly, how do you get rid of it? Here are some easy ways to deal with the clutter that may be overtaking your home and your life.
Get rid of a few things every day. I was reading an article that said if you got rid of 10 items every day, in a year, you'd get rid of 3650 items. I mean, it makes sense, right? And that sounds totally doable! I think I could get rid of 10 items a day. You could sell them, throw them away, donate them to charity, or anything you want!
Living Green with The Honest Company
It seems like everywhere you turn, people are talking about being eco friendly, or green. This item claims to be eco friendly because it was made locally, or this one's fair trade, so we should buy that. Or this cleaner has natural ingredients, so that's better for us to use in our home. Truth be told, it can all be a little mind boggling.
This process occurs with every single item that we come in contact with. Recently, my local grocery store started adding signs on items that were made in semi-local plants, claiming that if you purchased those, that you were buying local. Unfortunately, that's not really what "buying local" means, either. But they wanted to capitalize on the buzz surrounding it.
4th of July Crafts
Here are some great patriotic or 4th of July crafts. Many would be great all summer long, or even year-round!

I love this sign! I think it would look great year-round in a shabby-chic or country decor home.

How cute are these? Easy to do, cheap, and you could really change them up for any holiday.

Never experienced this on a Honda GCV160 engine
Never experienced this on a Honda GCV160 engine
I have a MTD lawnmower with a Honda GCV160 engine. The mower came in with a broken pull cord. I repaired the pull cord and I always check the engine oil before I start an engine and to my surprise there was no oil showing on the dip stick. I added oil and tried to start the engine it took 4 pulls and it finally started but it ran very slow just above idle it also made a bit of a clunking sound. I had nothing to lose at this point, so I let it run for a few minutes and it started to pick-up speed I would say it ran 95% there was a bit of vibration. "No Smoke from the exhaust" I turned off and drained the oil by putting it on its side wheels. As the oil was draining I sharpen the blade added new oil and when I started the engine it smoked like crazy and it kept on smoking the engine was running at 95% speed once again with a bit of vibration. After 2 minutes it smoked just as heavy. I turned the mower off. Next day tried to start the engine and the engine kicked back and broke the pull cord again (my fingers are still sore from the kick-back)
I can�t seem to figure out why it did not smoke when I 1st started it and then it smoked after I changed the oil. Oil level was normal both times
The kick-back I thought was due to a broken flywheel key I did remove the flywheel and the key was perfect. Any thoughts
The excessive fuel in the combustion chamber from tipping or possibly that leaked through the float valve did this. That would make sense with it occurring after setting. When you service these, it's best to shut the fuel valve off and run a few extra minutes before tipping. Plus you could try leaving the valve shut off and seeing if the problem reoccurs. Of course, there is that occasional Honda fuel valve that doesn't actually shut the fuel off...
Aside from the oil burning why it is kicking back is if the flywheel key is broken, Could it be because the cylinder is filling-up with oil and that cause pre-ignition. The smoking is probably due to worn out rings or scared piston and cylinder. Looks like I have a parts engine.
You could be right on the parts engine due to what else you've seen in regards to the oil and noises. However, if in fact what is happening is fuel is continuing to seep into the engine when sitting, once that is corrected- all may be fine. Here's what I would do. Verify that the fuel shut off valve actually works. Run up the machine, shut the valve off and when it dies- change the oil again. Refill with oil and for good measure just remove the spark plug and walk away to ensure the fuel has evaporated. Re install the plug, turn on the valve and crank it up. Now what do you have?
Here's the way I see it. On occasion, you will find one of these that fuel slightly seeps past the float valve. This in itself could be giving you the symptoms you describe. If your test run as described above goes well, that is what has been happening. If not, I suppose that it is possible that enough wear is present, enough carbon is above the piston to make a difference etc.

Cheesy Potato Soup
It's super cold here in Chicago. This morning I woke up to the sound of my husband scraping the windshield on the car.

If you're a college football fan like me for the next week and a half, you'll be glued to the television taking in every bowl game that you can. Watching bowl games means you'll want to have plenty of game day appetizers on hand. Sure you could make them all yourself but why do that when you can pick of appetizers for all your guests at an affordable price from ALDI's. It's been years since I shopped at ALDI's and I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of foods they had available. … [Read more...]
Holiday Memories with Darden Gift Card
When I was younger, some of my favorite memories were spending Sunday afternoons having family dinners at my grandmother's house. My grandma was a great cook and would make a feast that could rival any professional restaurant. She would make everyone their favorites: I would get green beans, my cousin would get rolls and if we were all being extra good, she'd make one of her special pies. Growing up, we spent every Christmas Eve at my grandparents house. Of course there would be presents … [Read more...]
Choosing Wine Is Easy With California Wine Club
December was my second month in the California Wine Club. This month I received two bottles of wine from the Daniel Gehrs winery, the 2009 Coastal Merlot and the 2011 Santa Barbara White Hills Vineyard Chenin Blanc. I've had my fair share of merlots but had never heard of a chenin blanc. I'm sure I've seen it on menus but had never been brave enough to try it. You know how it is when you're out at a restaurant. You're paying top dollar for glass of wine so you want to make sure its … [Read more...]
Easy Cranberry Appetizer
When I first saw the ingredients in this easy cranberry appetizer, I wrinkled my nose and had a sour look on my face. I'm not a huge fan of horseradish sauce and didn't think it would pair well with my beloved cranberries but surprisingly, it works extremely well. This is now my go to recipe when I have to make a quick appetizer that has to feed a number of people. Cranberry Appetizer Ingredients: 12 oz bag of fresh cranberries 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup … [Read more...]

NASCAR Driver Carl Edwards Plays Justin Moore's Nemesis in New 'Bait a Hook' Video
Justin Moore gets the dog, Carl Edwards gets the girl. In Moore's just released video for 'Bait a Hook,' Edwards' pretty boy shows up the country singer. He's got a bigger boat, a bigger truck and in the end a bigger fish. It's Moore's funniest video since his debut single 'Back That Thing Up.'
NASCAR Preacher Thanks the Heavens for 'Mighty Machines' and His 'Smoking Hot Wife' [VIDEO]

• Colorful, unique foliage
• Pest and drought resistant
An unusual ornamental tree famous for its interesting shape and vibrant foliage!
The Ginkgo tree is sure to make your landscape stand out! You'll be fascinated by its tall, rounded form and delicately shaped leaves.
This is one of the first trees to change colors in the autumn months. While other trees are still green, the Ginkgo turns almost fluorescent yellow!
This hardy tree thrives all over the United States! It is perfect for urban areas… it won't be bothered by smog and other pollution.
Here at the Fast Growing Tree Nursery, we stock the male variety of the Ginkgo; this has a number of advantages over the female variety of this tree. Unlike the female Ginkgo, the male does not bear fruit which fall to the ground causing a sticky mess. Because it does not bear fruit, the male Ginkgo also does not emit the terrible smell that the female variety is renowned for.
Adaptable to many different types of soil, the Ginkgo is resistant to pests, and will be drought resistant in maturity.

Fresh Air Weekend: Mitch Hurwitz, Jason Isbell And 'Before Midnight'
Originally published on Sat June 8, 2013 10:52 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
'Arrested' No More: Hurwitz On Why The Bluths Are Back: Ten years after Fox canceled the cult-favorite sitcom, a fourth season of Arrested Development is streaming on Netflix. The show's creator, Mitch Hurwitz, tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that if the show doesn't get the right ratings this time, he can't blame the time slot.
Jason Isbell: Literary, But Keeping An Edge On 'Southeastern': Isbell is a singer-songwriter who came to prominence as a member of the Southern rock group Drive-By Truckers. He left that band in 2007, in part because of the substance-abuse problems he describes on his new solo album, Southeastern.
'Before Midnight,' Love Darkens And Deepens: In Richard Linklater's third film about Jesse and Celine, the two have officially coupled up, but it's no fairy tale. The love is still there, but the daily grind is getting in the way of communication. Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy join Fresh Air's Terry Gross to talk about the new film.
You can listen to the original interviews here:

Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales!
Gee, CastMember88, hair-trigger anger much? I make a living figuring things like that out and either preventing problems or retrofitting as needed. Of COURSE I have to speculate about the inner workings of that Black Box when I've never seen inside it, but when I know what it does (and what it's supposed to do, which is sometimes totally different...) I can guess at the contents. And I'm pretty careful to label things as Speculation or Educated Guess.
And when I get a chance to stick my head into that Black Box later I'm usually pretty darned close. Some people say uncomfortably close - usually the ones who are in charge of keeping it running who for some reason either won't or can't...
First, it's really helpful to be able to observe the system operating as installed and see what's not working. There were days when Bob Gurr dissected broken Autopia cars and laid down in the pit underneath the Teacups platform and had them run it to see it run from underneath, what flexed and moved and was likely to break next...
That was when he discovered the secret of Huck-Bolted Frames on the Autopia cars and flex joints on the Teacups platform - and it's the same with any industrial gear. If it's got large masses in motion, or impact loads, you have to absorb that motion and allow the frame to flex or it will break. So you make a place (or several places) on the machine where it can flex safely to absorb that energy in a controlled manner.
We can't observe the Indy ice-drop mechanism because they already pulled it out. I considered that kind of problem with the main hopper too, but since nobody's mentioned it in the past I didn't want to go too far afield with speculation. But now that you say it was a problem, it can be dealt with...
It would be easy enough to rebuild the bin to put a screw augur in the bottom (at attic height, under the ice machines on the roof) both to move the ice from the back two Ice Machines toward the drop hopper mechanism and to break up any clumps that might freeze and form. You need an example, go look at the dispenser on a Through-The-Door Ice home refrigerator and scale it up - Your drinking glass is where you put the Hopper and the Effects Drop.
And it's most likely to clump when the bin is full and the ride is E-Stopped or shut down for the night - Just like the ice in your refrigerator's storage bin does when you don't use any for a day or two. So you add a timer and run the augur IN REVERSE just to stir the ice for 10 seconds every 15 minutes just to keep it from clumping on you.
Industry has long since perfected hopper drop chutes that are reliable and don't freeze up, how do you think they build machinery to bag potato chips, frozen peas and Bagged Ice for retail sale? Luckily you don't need a precisely weighed amount for each drop, so one hopper hatch will do - but you /do/ have to run this all in a low-humidity freezer atmosphere to minimize free water that would refreeze in the wrong places (it Always Knows!) and gum up the works.
Might have to add insulated walls and a few evaporator fan coils on one side, turn the Ice Hopper and Drop Mechanism room into a little Walk-In Freezer. Won't have a lot of latent heat to get rid of, so 12,000 BTUH (1 Ton) would be overkill, the mechanism motors are the only real heat source - but activity will spike whenever a Tech goes in there to work on it at ~1000 BTUH each working up a sweat, ~600 BTUH each at rest.
And if it still has problem spots, you install a little spot-heater, a sheet of Teflon or UHMW Polyethylene lining the chute to keep it from sticking, or strategically place a Shaker Motor to thump the side of the bin right there. A built in kick.

Far as I know, they didn't really try to repair it since, and eventually removed the ice machines from the roof and gave up.

maybe castmember88 was the original designer and got offended when someone picked his work apart? Or was he the guy who closed it due to it being too technical to fix?
Bruce, I like your thinking - sometimes the outside perspective is needed.

Over 2,000 homes damaged or destroyed and NO fatalities. God is good!! Enough about that, back to a great TR.... You're welcome kind lady. It sure helps because the lines are long and you might have to wait hours if you just walk up and try to get on the boat tour. Pearl Harbor was amazing. Walking the grounds, listening to the audio tour and then actually going to the memorial....well... you get mad, sad and proud all at the same time. It is definately a must-see sight if you're on Oahu. Loving your TR and all the pictures. I don't want to see it come to an end.

Crab Salad with Ruby Grapefruit, Pickled Radish, and Pink Peppercorn Vinaigrette
Grapefruit and crab are a classic combo; the addition of pickled radishes is both a colorful and surprising flavorful enhancement. Leftover vinaigrette will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to two days and goes great with shellfish, particularly shrimp.
1/4 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced on a mandoline (about 1/4 cup)
1 head green leaf lettuce, leaves torn
1/4 cup pickled radishes, drained (recipe follows)
1/4 cup Pink Peppercorn Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 seedless ruby grapefruit, segmented
1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained well, patted dry, and picked over for shells
3 tablespoons pink peppercorns
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the salad: Fill a small bowl with water and add 6 ice cubes. Add the onion slices and let soak for 5 minutes. This little trick removes the stinging bite of raw onion and makes the slices really crisp. Drain the onion and pat dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, lettuce, and radishes. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette, tossing with your hands to dress the salad lightly and evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad equally among 4 chilled plated. Arrange the grapefruit segments and crabmeat on top. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of vinaigrette.
For the dressing: Blend all the ingredients in a blender on high speed until well combined. Makes 2/3 cups dressing.
Entire recipe serves 4.
Main Dish
Braised Chicken with Apricots, Green Olives, and Herbed Couscous
A departure from classic chicken stew, this one-pot wonder with Middle Eastern flair is a little bit exotic but not off-putting or difficult
to make in the slightest. In fact, my kids love it. The sweet apricots and salty olives play nicely off each other and collide under a shower of cilantro
to jack up the flavor even more. The recipe should make a little extra for leftovers, which are even better the next day.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 pounds chicken thighs (about 12), bone
in, skin on, preferably free-range
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
1 medium white onion, cut into large dice
3 celery stalks, cut into large chunks
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dried apricots (about 20)
1 1/2 cups pitted green olives, such as Manzanilla
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup orange juice
1 cup couscous
6 scallions, white and light green parts, sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Spread the flour in a large shallow plate. Season the chicken liberally with
salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken lightly in the flour to coat all sides, tapping
off the excess. Put a Dutch oven or large ovenproof pot over high heat
and coat with the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add 5 pieces of chicken and
brown them for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, without moving them around too
much so you get a good sear. Transfer the chicken to a platter and repeat with
the remaining thighs.
To the drippings in the pot, add the carrots, onion, and celery. Cook,
for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften and begin to get
some color. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the cinnamon, apricots,
olives, and stock. Nestle the chicken in the pot so the thighs are covered with
apricots, olives, and stock. Pour any drippings collected from the platter into
the pot. Bring the stew to a boil, then cover and transfer to the oven. Bake for
1 hour, or until your kitchen smells amazing.
Combine the orange juice, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon salt in a
small pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the
couscous, and quickly cover to keep in the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes, until
the couscous is soft.
Combine the scallions, cilantro, and mint in a small bowl.
Remove the chicken from the oven and gently stir in the butter until completely
To serve, put the couscous in a serving bowl and fluff with a fork. Fold in
half of the scallion mixture. Sprinkle the remaining scallion mixture over the
braised chicken, and serve it right out of the pot. Serves 6.
