On October 9, Los Angeles-area SAG, AFTRA and Actors' Equity members joined together on the 5-kilometer Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's, which raises funds to combat Alzheimer's disease.
Team We Take Care of Our Own — Actors Unite to End Alzheimer's was organized by Nancy Daly, a member whose mother suffers from the affliction. "I knew I had to do something when I went home for the Fourth of July weekend and my mom didn't know me," Daly said.
Union Plus has awarded $150,000 in scholarships to 130 students representing 43 unions, including four representing Screen Actors Guild in the 2011 Union Plus Scholarship Program.
Screen Actors Guild congratulates scholarship recipients:
•Evan Griffith of New York, NY, whose parents Edward and Lisa Griffith are both SAG members, has been awarded a $500 scholarship.
•Jan Neuberger of Newtown, CT, who has been a SAG member since 1974, has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
Screen Actors Guild's New York Division hosted a special reception May 25 for labor leaders from the entertainment community. The SAG New York Host Committee Labor Leader Reception brought together more than 100 people, including leaders of organized labor and elected officials from guilds and unions, to discuss labor issues of mutual concern. Excitement about the merger between SAG and AFTRA was a hot topic of conversation. Special guests included SAG President Ken Howard, SAG National Executive Director David White and New York state AFL-CIO President Denis Hughes.

Selk'Bag is a sleeping bag that you wear
The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be both slept in and worn as outerwear (Photo: Selk'Bag)
Article Summary
If you've done much camping, chances are that you've probably seen fellow campers sitting around the chilly campsite first thing in the morning, wearing their sleeping bag like it's a dressing gown. Well, Chilean graphic designer Rodrigo Alonso Schramm has taken the wearable sleeping bag concept one step farther, and created one with arms, legs, and a hood. Sold as both the Selk'Bag (in homage to the nomadic Chilean Selk'nam people) and the Musuc'Bag, it could be just the thing for those times when you feel like getting up, but don't want to get out of bed.

Thank you! Works like a charm on my mobility X2300.
Phoronix: Radeon Driver Gets Reworked Textured Video
AMD's Alex Deucher has delivered a new Textured Video implementation in the xf86-video-ati driver. While this video acceleration is not ideal as say VDPAU, VA-API, or even just XvMC it will certainly be appreciated by ATI customers. The reworked TexturedVideo implementation is in the Git master code and now has native support for planar formats and X-Video attributes for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, gamma, and color-space are implemented within the driver...
Thank you! Works like a charm on my mobility X2300.
I don't understand this part about XvMC. Isn't XvMC only for MPEG2?While this video acceleration is not ideal as say VDPAU, VA-API, or even just XvMC it will certainly be appreciated by ATI customers.
I tend to remember discussions about XvMC, where arguments were that there was very little motivation to implement it, as it only accelerated MPEG-2 and all modern CPU's can easily decode MPEG-2.
Yeah, although I think there's a VIA driver out there with a full slice-level H.264 decode command added to the XvMC API.
We're thinking about doing an XvMC implementation (which would be MPEG-2 as you say) to give developers a starting point for other codecs. The details are different from one codec to the next but the basic operations are all pretty much the same whether you're talking about MPEG2 or H.264.
Okay, I thought XvMC was a "packet solution", and not as an acceleration of each of the functions. Fourier transformations and such.
Could it even be extended to accelerate wavelets, which is the basics for Snow codec?
Btw. I just want to say thank you SOOOOOO MUCH to all of AMD for making this happen!
It is a tremendous testimony to Linux and the open source environment, that you have leaded the way that graphics drivers don't have to be a secret.
It gets confusing. XvMC is normally a "bunch of blocks" API, originally designed primarily for motion compensation. The normal XvMC API deals with partially-decoded 8x8 blocks, either starting at IDCT or at MC. The Via extension for slice level decoding is the only VLD-level API.
I don't know much about wavelet-based codecs but in general anything which involves running a filter kernel over an area of pixels is a pretty good match for a GPU.
We weren't able to give Michael much warning... the review and cleanup dragged on for a long time, then all of a sudden it was done

Kidney Biopsy

What is a kidney biopsy?
A biopsy is a diagnostic test that involves collecting small pieces of tissue, usually through a needle, for examination with a microscope. A kidney biopsy can help in forming a diagnosis and in choosing the best course of treatment. A kidney biopsy may be recommended for any of the following conditions:
- hematuria, which is blood in the urine
- proteinuria, which is excessive protein in the urine
- impaired kidney function, which causes excessive waste products in the blood
A pathologist will look at the kidney tissue samples to check for unusual deposits, scarring, or infecting organisms that would explain a person's condition. The doctor may find a condition that can be treated and cured. If a person has progressive kidney failure, the biopsy may show how quickly the disease is advancing. A biopsy can also help explain why a transplanted kidney is not working properly.
Patients should talk with their doctors about what information might be learned from the biopsy and the risks involved so the patients can help make a decision about whether a biopsy is worthwhile.
What are the preparations for a kidney biopsy?
Patients must sign a consent form saying they understand the risks involved in this procedure. The risks are slight, but patients should discuss these risks in detail with their doctors before signing the form.
Doctors should be aware of all the medicines a patient takes and any drug allergies that patient might have. The patient should avoid aspirin and other blood-thinning medicines for 1 to 2 weeks before the procedure. Some doctors advise their patients to avoid food and fluids before the test, while others tell patients to eat a light meal. Shortly before the biopsy, blood and urine samples are taken to make sure the patient doesn't have a condition that would make doing a biopsy risky.
What are the procedures for a kidney biopsy?
Kidney biopsies are usually done in a hospital. The patient is fully awake with light sedation. A local anesthetic is given before the needle is inserted.
Patients lie on their stomachs to position the kidneys near the surface of their backs. Patients who have a transplanted kidney lie on their backs. The doctor marks the entry site, cleans the area, and injects a local painkiller. For a biopsy using a needle inserted through the skin, the doctor uses a locating needle and x-ray or ultrasound equipment to find the kidney and then a collecting needle to gather the tissue. Patients are asked to hold their breath as the doctor uses a spring-loaded instrument to insert the biopsy needle and collect the tissue, usually for about 30 seconds or a little longer for each insertion. The spring-loaded instrument makes a sharp clicking noise that can be startling to patients. The doctor may need to insert the needle three or four times to collect the needed samples.
The entire procedure usually takes about an hour, including time to locate the kidney, clean the biopsy site, inject the local painkiller, and collect the tissue samples.
Patients who are prone to bleeding problems should not have a biopsy through the skin. These patients may still undergo a kidney biopsy through an open operation in which the surgeon makes an incision and can see the kidney to collect tissue samples.
What happens after a kidney biopsy?
After the test, patients lie on their backs in the hospital for a few hours. Patients who have a transplanted kidney lie on their stomachs. During this time, the staff will monitor blood pressure and pulse and take blood samples to assess for blood loss. On rare occasions when bleeding does not stop on its own, a transfusion may be necessary to replace lost blood. Most patients leave the hospital the same day. Patients may notice some blood in their urine for 24 hours after the test.
A rare complication is infection from the biopsy.
Patients should tell their doctors or nurses if they have any of these problems:
- bloody urine more than 24 hours after the test
- inability to urinate
- fever
- worsening pain in the biopsy site
- faintness or dizziness
How are kidney biopsy results reported?
After the biopsy, the doctor will inspect the tissue samples in the laboratory using one or more microscopes, perhaps using dyes to identify different substances that may be settled in the tissue. Electron microscopes may be used to see small details. Getting the complete biopsy results usually takes a few days. In urgent cases, a preliminary report may be given within a few hours.
Points to Remember
A biopsy is a diagnostic test that involves collecting small pieces of tissue, usually through a needle, for examination with a microscope.
A kidney biopsy can help in forming a diagnosis and in choosing the best course of treatment.
Before the kidney biopsy, patients should
- talk with their doctors to make sure they understand the need for a biopsy
- sign a consent form
- tell their doctors about any allergies they have and medicines they take
- follow their doctors' orders for food restrictions
After the kidney biopsy, patients should
- lie on their backs—or stomachs if they have a transplanted kidney—for a few hours
- report any problems, such as
- bloody urine more than 24 hours after the test
- inability to urinate
- fever
- worsening pain
- faintness or dizziness
Hope through Research
In recent years, researchers have learned much about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding kidney failure and finding treatments to stop its progression.
The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases supports basic research into normal kidney function and the diseases that impair normal function at the cellular and molecular levels, including diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, and other diseases marked by protein in the urine.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Trio 3 + Special Guest Vijay Iyer (Reggie Workman / Oliver Lake / Andrew Cyrille)
The unconventional collaboration of internationally-recognized jazz masters, Oliver Lake (alto sax), Reggie Workman (bass) and Andrew Cyrille (drums), was formed in order to centralize the members creative energies and promote a single governing principle: organic improvisation. Every member is a distinct soloist but together they form an unadulterated group effort, exploring the challenging sounds of the sax, bass, drums trio format. The addition of special guest pianist Vijay Iyer -- "…among the most daringly original jazz artists of the under-40 generation," (Chicago Tribune) -- provides a potentially exciting new direction for the group.

Phoronix: Pogoplug: An Interesting, Linux-Friendly NAS
While more and more computer peripherals and gadgets these days are running Linux internally, not many vendors are matching their internal Linux support with external Linux customer support. For the Pogoplug though, which is made by CloudEngines, this is not the case. The Pogoplug is a network attached storage device that is far more than a basic NAS like the Icy Box NAS4220, but the Pogoplug can integrate with social networks like Twitter along with providing a rich web 2.0 interface for accessing the device from anywhere in the world. The Pogoplug device runs Linux and is built upon popular open-source packages, but Pogoplug does not hide this fact and they actually encourage community developers to work on the Pogoplug with complete support for SSH-ing into these devices and making modifications. CloudEngines also offers a 32-bit/64-bit Linux program for interacting with the Pogoplug.
Too bad it ain't available over here (Netherlands).
Ah, revelations
Using the iPhone client also worked out well.
This looks like a really great little machine to keep your torrents running on...
get a sheevaplug instead - smaller and cheaper (http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com). i currently use one for dns-server usage. Ive also ordered a guruplug with even more goodies: esata 2 nics etc. Should arrive before the month is over.
What about performance data?
Great article on Cloud-computing product. I am surprised that other products that do the same thing was not covered such as Tonido and the Seagate Dockstar. Personally I have both products that I mentioned above.
I love the Tonido. It is not only less expensive with the same functions as Pogoplug but it has a great community,better hardware specs and better interface with more software functions.
Just my 2 cents
I'm interested in this whole category. In particular the article talked up the ability to tailor/customize the pogoplug to a particular need but it still sounds limited in comparison to Sheeva family, which iirc is a copmlete debian-based system.
For example, could I use this device as a SAN target?

...what I do is actually prepare the entire batch of dough (salt, yeast, 100% water and all), mixing it just enough to be uniform in appearance, and then letting it sit on the bench for an hour, at which time I knead it by hand.
Reinhart's recipe actually calls for water that is chilled with ice cubes which doesn't seem to shock the yeast to death. Erik

This has got to be the ugliest shirt I have ever seen.
It feels a little too square and too symmetrical for me. Interesting tattoo concept, though I feel it needs some flow and movement.
The cupcake looks like a clown and I can't unsee it.
Too bad this thing is not a Christmas sweater, at least then there would be some use for it. This thing would win an ugly sweater party hands down.
All that candy ... I can feel my teeth getting cavities just looking at it.

I think Willy Wonka has a few of these on his arms.
wow...this belongs on one of those unwanted holiday handknitted sweaters u supposidly receive.
What the crap. I'm even seeing this ad on the page.
I've seen a lot of creepy desserts in my day, but this one takes the (cup)cake.
go back to the beginning of shirt.woot. There have been worse, believe it or not.
so i visited this Johnny's site and its pretty cool. I have no idea where this design crept out of though
Finally, a sugar skull t-shirt I would wear...crazy, creepy, odd, blue + swacky. Score.
I'm not digging the design much, but I do have to applaud the clever use of yellow marshmallow peeps as sailor jerry style swallows.
It's an interesting concept, but I think the execution could have been done a little better. The different pieces of candy seem to just be there, with no interaction between them. I also totally thought the birds were flames at first. Whoops.

It's supposed to look exactly like a sugar skull
The cupcake is kinda freaking me out. Looks like a nightmare I was once trapped in where I was going to be eaten by this giant furnace with teeth. So, I think I will have to pass on this one.
Oh great. Now I'm hungry for all those things on a bed of chocolate.
I have a feeling that this is going to be showing up in a lot of the random shirt purchases in the next sale =(
Did you know that Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns? This shirt looks pretty clowny to me.
Does it say DUDE on the back?
Is it too late to change the shirt of the day?
Could also pass for a sweet dispensing slot machine
Looks like a bunny being electrocuted. I'll pass.
which candy are the birds?
My strange coincidence is that I was looking at pics of ugly tatoos when I checked woot to see the new shirt.
For some reason, all it makes me think of is firecrackers. Ugly, disturbing firecrackers.
Wow Someone tell Johnny not to read this discussion!
Sweet! what does mine say?

Could not disagree more - this is horrible. Absolutely ugly. PS. I'm diabetic
Thought it was a robot before I looked at the title. Oh well.
Definately not a fan of this one, wouldn't even take it off someone's hands for free.
Is there something I'm supposed to get about this shirt? Cause if there is, I don't.
I would probably buy this if it wasn't brown. I have too many brown woot shirts already. Although I do love brown. Brown.

Actually, everything they do and say *is* garbage. There is no question of this. Criminal... ok, maybe that's stretching it, but they certainly are very frequently caught wilfully breaking the law, stealing source code, anti-competitive practices, etc.
And on top of that, their product PROVABLY has poor security. If you connect their trash to the internet, you pretty well can't help but get raped by china and loaded up with spyware.
So difficult in fact, that when you're finished, you have a system that doesn't actually do anything. Yeah, I can dd zeros over the entire disk for even better security. Or just pull the power plug. Simply put, without their full bloat, their system doesn't do the only things that their system is ever chosen TO do.Actually, it is. Not as easily replaceable, but you don't have to run their shell.
Who said anything about physical access? Here you go, trying to prove your point by introducing new variables that aren't relevant to the discussion. Physical access? I keep my door locked, thank you very much. No physical access there.And who cares, really, if you can click cancel and get admin access. Once you have physical access to a machine, it's considered good as owned. Same with Linux. Linux you just have to boot to runlevel one and you have a root shell. Either that or pop in a livecd. Where are your complaints about Linux?
'freetard' -- there it is... the universal word used to attack against those advocating more intelligent choices once you've run out of arguments. Apparently, I've made my point. I'll keep going though, you seem really emotional.Face it, you are just a freetard spreading FUD and garbage.
No, sorry, I actually do understand how things work, as is evident by my ability to keep the discussion focused on the facts and not trolling with this kind of nonsense personal accusations that you seem to enjoy. You can't think of anything intelligent to say, so you try to attack me on a personal level?You don't know what you are talking about and whenever you are called out on your incorrect understanding of how the system works,
Really? Where did I accuse you? I've just gone back over everything I've written, and NOWHERE did I accuse you of anything. I asked you a question, which you failed to respond to intelligently, but a question is very far from an accusation.you respond with accusations of fraud and being paid by MS to say things (lol, I don't work for MS and have spent most of my computing time in the last six years not using Windows, mostly Linux and also Mac OS X).
Never suggested that it was. I'm merely pointing out that you seem to have bought into their propaganda. I didn't say that everything open source was perfect, I said that MS is simply far more IMPERFECT. In fact, I actually used to have some level of respect for MS, but that ended when they stopped innovating and shifted their entire business platform over to trolling. I think that happened roughly when it was turned over from Gates to Ballmer.You are another worthless hack giving the Linux community a bad name. Not everything Microsoft does is bad and evil. Not everything the Linux world does is good and right. Welcome to the land of shades of gray.
So you know what that means? It means that YOU are the hack giving the Linux community a bad name.

O's turn to Norris to halt slide, clinch winning year
Blue Jays seek bounce-back start from Rogers at Camden Yards
With Baltimore's loss and Cleveland's victory on Tuesday night, the Orioles' playoff hopes have officially been dashed.
The Indians' come-from-behind victory over the White Sox lowered Baltimore's elimination number to one, and Toronto's 10th-inning heroics took care of the rest.
The Blue Jays have been out of the playoff picture for quite some time, but have played a crucial role in the fate of their American League East foes.
The Blue Jays won their last series over the Yankees last week to put the Bronx Bombers behind the eight ball, and took care of the Orioles' chances themselves.
That means Wednesday's game doesn't have any playoff implications for either team, but the Orioles -- who have dropped six in a row -- have a chance to post a second consecutive winning season, having been stuck at 81 wins.
Looking to help accomplish that feat will be one of the newest Orioles, former Astros righty Bud Norris.
Norris last pitched in Friday's 18-inning marathon against the Rays, and was saddled with the loss after 2 1/3 innings.
His last start came Sept. 8 against the White Sox, taking the loss after not getting out of the fifth. He gave up four earned runs on nine hits and a walk, while striking out six.
"He had a lot of baserunners out there," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Norris.
He'll be opposing Toronto righty Esmil Rogers, who like Norris struggled in his last outing.
Against the Red Sox, Rogers lasted just 2 1/3 innings. He struggled with his command with five walks, but escaped with just two earned runs to his name while picking up the loss.
"When I was in the bullpen, my breaking pitches were unbelievable," Rogers said. "I said I was going to use my breaking pitches today because I was feeling good. When I came into the game, I don't know, my body was a little tight, and when I tried using my breaking pitches everything was a ball. ... I threw maybe one or two good ones and the other ones were all balls."
Orioles: Machado avoids serious injury
After star third baseman Manny Machado left Monday's contest, the worst was feared.
In the seventh inning, Machado hit the first-base bag awkwardly and his left knee buckled. The 21-year-old collapsed immediately and had to be removed on a stretcher.
However, an X-ray and MRI on Tuesday revealed no damage to Machado's ACL or MCL, good news considering he could not walk off the field.
It wasn't a complete bill of health though, as there was a medial patella femoral ligament tear. That type of injury comes with a recovery timetable of six to eight weeks.
Machado will get a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis, and will go the rest-and rehab route for the next four weeks. If things aren't healing perfectly, that will give Machado more than enough time to for a minor surgical procedure. He is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
Blue Jays: Goins among Minor League award winners
Ryan Goins was among the recipients of this year's R. Howard Webster Award, which recognizes the most valuable players on each of the club's Minor League affiliates.
The Blue Jays infielder was named MVP at Triple-A Buffalo, where he hit .257 with six home runs, 46 RBIs, 22 doubles and a .311 on-base percentage in 111 games.
He also provided a well-above average glove primarily at shortstop with a .981 fielding percentage, something that has been on display at second since joining the big league club in Toronto.
For Goins, it marks the second straight season he's won the award after being named MVP for Double-A New Hampshire in 2012.
"I like everything I've seen out of him," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Goins, who was called up at the end of August. "He was there all year long and he's just a good steady baseball player. It's a good honor for him."
Worth noting
• Over his last 16 contests since Sept. 7, Toronto's Adam Lind has six home runs, 16 RBIs and a 1.090 OPS.
• Blue Jays closer Casey Janssen has 34 saves in 36 opportunities, including 11 straight. His 94.4 save percentage ranks second in the AL. Conversely, Orioles closer Jim Johnson leads the AL in saves with 47, but has saved just 84 percent of his opportunities.
• Since 2012, the Orioles are 11-5 at home against the Blue Jays, including Tuesday's 3-2 loss.

Mississippi Roast, made using a rump or chuck roast, but with my own signature and minus the full stick of butter. A moist, tender and delicious roast with a wonderful gravy and a nice spicy bite. |
Mississippi Roast ... My Way
There's a roast blazing across the interwebs and the world of Pinterest called "Mississippi Roast," and if you google it, you'll find it everywhere. I have no idea where the recipe began, or even how the recipe got the name Mississippi attached to it, because best I can figure, it hasn't got a thing to do with Mississippi - unless somebody who threw it together one day just happened to be from Mississippi.Essentially, you add a raw chuck roast to a slow cooker, sprinkle an envelope of dry ranch dressing mix and envelope of au jus mix on top, and then you plop a full stick of butter on top, along with a 4 or 5 pepperoncini peppers, cover and cook on low for about 8 hours. No liquid is added at all. Just the butter.
Okay. Indeed, I am a lover of butter like anybody else, no doubt, and of course, you could add a stick of butter to just about anything and make it très délicieux, but even I think adding a full stick of butter to an already fatty chunk of beef might just be, well... a tiny bit excessive - yes, even for this Mississippian.
No offense meant to those of you who have tried the original Mississippi Roast and already love it, butter and all, but I was curious enough to give this a try. Minus the stick of butter. And with my own spin. And, well... if you enjoy cooking, you know how it goes. Once I got started adding my own signature to this Mississippi Roast... I just really couldn't help myself.
So.... what do you get when you combine some of the elements of my Old Fashioned Pot Roast, with some from a Coca-Cola Roast, Italian Beef Roast, and 3-Envelope Roast? The BEST roast ever, that's what! All four of those recipes are stand-alone, incredibly fantastic beef roasts, and every one of them is in my regular rotation of Sunday Suppers, so I thought why not take some elements from each and see how it works out?
Pickled jalapenos, golden peperoncini and giardiniera are all staples in my fridge, for one, because I love those Italian Beef Sandwiches. Golden peperoncini is a mild, sweet pepper with just a hint of heat, and giardiniera - often referred to as hot mix - usually contains hot peppers such as serrano, an extremely hot chile pepper, that provides a spicy kick for this roast. I didn't want it too spicy, so I put them in whole, just to add the flavor and a nice punch of heat.
To make up for the loss of butter, I thought the recipe could benefit from some little changes that don't take much time, but add lots of flavor. So I studded the roast with garlic.
I seared it, and sauteed some sliced onion in the drippings.
Added some chunks of celery to the crockpot. Whisked together the envelopes with a little Coke and some herbs. If you don't want the sweetness from the Coke, you can sub in beef broth, beer, wine or plain water.
Added a bay leaf, a whole pickled jalapeno, 4 golden peperoncini peppers and 1/2 cup of Italian mix giardiniera. Poured the seasoned Coke in, and left out the butter, adding only 1 tablespoon at the end, to finish the gravy. This roast does have a nice spicy bite to it. To make it milder, leave out the jalapeno and giardiniera, but the golden peperoncini will give it just a bump of heat, though you can certainly leave those out too.
Best. Pot Roast. EVER.
And, because it's not braised in anything but its own natural fat, it's much more sliceable, where the butter braised roast tends to shred.
One note. If you do decide to try the original with the full stick of butter, just leave out the liquid and be sure to use unsalted butter. There's plenty of sodium present in the packaged mixes, so don't be tempted to add any additional salt to the roast either.
Here's how to make Mississippi Roast ... my way.
Recipe: Mississippi Roast ... My Way
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 8 hours | Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
- 3 to 5 pound boneless beef rump or chuck roast
- 3 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings or vegetable or canola oil
- 1 stalk (rib) of celery, cut into chunks
- 1 medium size onion, halved and sliced
- 1 envelope of dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 envelope of dry brown gravy or au jus mix
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 cup of Coca Cola Classic
- 1 large bay leaf
- 1 whole jalapeno (I used pickled)
- 4 golden peperoncini peppers
- 1/2 cup of Italian mix giardiniera, optional
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
Stud the roast by using the tip of a knife to cut multiple small slits in areas all over the meat and inserting slivers of garlic into each cut. Season roast on both sides with pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of fat or oil in a large skillet and brown roast on both sides. Add the celery chunks to the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker and place roast on top. Add onion to skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer to top of the roast.
Meanwhile, whisk together the ranch dressing, gravy mix, thyme and rosemary. Add the Coke and whisk in until well blended; set aside. Add the bay leaf, whole jalapeno, peperoncini and giardiniera to the top of the roast and pour the Coke mixture over the top. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high 4 to 5 hours. Total time will be dependent on size of roast.
To thicken gravy, use a long fish spatula to remove the roast and loosely tent with foil to keep warm. Skim any excess fat off the top of the juices and carefully transfer the contents of the crockpot to a saucepan. Stir in the tablespoon of butter. Make a slurry of a tablespoon of cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve the cornstarch. Whisk into the gravy, bring up to a boil, reduce and simmer until thickened.
Serve with the gravy and my Everyday Mashed Potatoes or Steamed Rice and Southern Green Beans or a nice mixed garden salad.
Cook's Notes: Substitute 1 cup of water, low sodium beef broth, wine or beer, in place of the Coke, or if you're adventurous, eliminate the liquid and add that whole stick of unsalted butter on top, like in the original "Mississippi Roast." There's plenty of sodium present in the packaged mixes, so use unsalted butter, and don't be tempted to add any additional salt to the roast, either way. This roast does have a nice spicy bite to it. Golden peperoncini are a milder, sweet pepper with just a hint of heat, but to make it milder leave them out, along with the jalapeno and giardiniera. Puree the veggies and add those to the gravy for extra flavor.

The Colorado Forest Service has designed an online tool that allows Summit County residents to assess the wildfire risk in their neighborhoods.
"We wanted to create awareness of wildfire risk for the individual who lives in Colorado," said Rich Homann, a staff forester with the Colorado Forest Service. "We also wanted to inform decision makers about the risk, so they could have information available to them to base decisions on and prioritize actions."
The Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment, or CO-WRAP, allows web visitors to view maps and download information about neighborhoods and watersheds.
The portal was created using GIS (geographic information systems) and combines information from fire departments, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources to evaluate the risk of wildfire to individual homes.
"We wanted to gather as much information as possible from a lot of different sources and put it in one place where it was accessible for anybody who wanted to use it," Homann said.
The wildfire tool also allows community leaders, planning professionals and forestry professionals to use the information to inform future development decisions.
The professional viewer, which requires web registration, could also aid in the creation of fire protection and forest stewardship plans for local agencies, forest service officials said.
"Wildland fires continue to threaten people, property, drinking water and forest assets across Colorado," Interim state forester Joe Duda said in a news release. "Heightened awareness of wildfire risk and the forest management measures necessary to mitigate that risk are becoming increasingly important to ensure public safety."
Colorado residents who use the fire risk tool can learn more about what to expect if there is a wildfire in their area. The tool can also be used to get assistance from local agencies.
Summit County residents had the chance to view the tool at a wildfire protection meeting Wednesday evening in Frisco. Speakers at the meeting, sponsored by the Forest Health Task Force, urged community members to use the online tool to learn more about their specific situations.
However, they also urged residents to not become overly reliant on the tool. Houses listed in a low-risk area could still be susceptible to wildfires. And residents whose homes are found to be in high-risk areas can make important strides to protect their property from possible wildfire damage, said Forest Health Task Force representative Howard Hallman.

I bought these towels for the master bathroom. I had nice towels in the guest bathroom but old ones in our master bath. These towels are very thick and plush. It is easy to dry off with them. The only thing of note is that when put in the dryer the first time, they produced LOTS of lint. I cleaned the dryer vent several times before the load was finished drying. I would recommend these towels to others.
very soft very thick and absorbant good purchase. They look like the kind of towel that you would want to wrap yourself up in. I think they make the room look nice even just folded up b/c they are so thick and fluffy looking.
I was skeptical about purchasing these towels as my family was spoiled by the set my husband purchased over 5 years ago from Pottery Barn. We were delighted when these towels arrived~large, soft and thirsty! After the initial wash & dry (lots of lint, so we learned from past reviews) we continue to be extremely pleased with our purchase. Will be ordering 4 more very soon!
I decided to switch all my bath towels to white and wanted something much softer than what I had in my linen closet. The towels arrived promptly (before expected delivery date, yay!) and they are a pleasure to use. They are as soft and fluffy as the description.
I washed these towels as soon as I received them and they came out of the dryer fluffy and soft and very comfortable. I absolutely love them and they are a wonderful size - not too big or too small - just right. Good quality material, too. Excellent towels!
These are the best bath towels I've ever owned. They feel both light and luxurious -- a wonderful combination.
soft and big enough without being too much towel
I'd recommend them...Nick thickness, nice quality, great price. Nothing that says "cheap" about them...and we are constantly washing our towels, so I bought two sets. Yes, they leave a lot of line in the drier, but that's because they are cotton. No biggie!
These are excellent towels for soaking up water after a shower.
Just got them but appear to be good quality

20 Tips for Resin Veneer Cements
How to Choose a Cement for Porcelain Laminate Veneers
Carlos A. Munoz-Viveros, DDS, MSD
The advent of etching enamel has given rise to the use of porcelain veneers as a relatively conservative means of improving the appearance of teeth. Since its introduction in the early 1980s, a number of techniques and product advances have been developed to assist clinicians in the restoration of the anterior dentition. Because most of these restorations not only lack the necessary retention or resistance of conventional restorations but they also typically are very thin (.3 to .7 mm), the selection of the cement is critical to success.
1. It is preferable to use only light-activated resin cements. Light-only polymerized cements allow for longer working time, do not need to be mixed, have shorter finishing time, increased color stability, and longer shelf life.

The Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) was one of the earliest fish know to be domesticated, and is still one of the most commonly kept as an aquarium fish. The Goldfish is a domesticated version of a Carp that is native to East Asia. Goldfish will generally live 6-8 years in the Wild, but has been know to live up to 40 years. The wild version of the Goldfish is generally said to be the Prussian Carp, however some think it is the closely realted Crucian Carp. If introduced in the wild the Goldfish will generally revert to it's natural olive color. Goldfish are opertunistic feeders and will each just about anything that they come across in the right conditions.
Time of year: Year-round (most Active from Late Spring to Early Fall)
Flies: Goldfish are caught on a wide variety of flies. Most common are Weighted Nymphs, Egg Flies, Vegitation Imitations, and Leech Imitations, Bread Imitations, ETC.
Rod and Reel: Goldfish tend to be small to average sized fish and a 5 weight Rod with a floating or sinking line should do fine
Locations: La River, Whittier Narrows, Introduced into many Southern Calfornia waters

Symbolic of the bad times Britain labors under. The sun has long set on Britannia..
It is a pity that the Chief Executive of English Heritage does not show some leadership by accepting a reduction in salary. He receives a higher income than the Prime Minister for what is hardly a stressful occupation!
London is a slum no longer fit for purpose. It should be demolished to build new housing for the people who actually work for a living.
That's harsh. I lived (sic!) there for about nine years. It was splendid.
People have a different interpretation of how life should be. That's all I'm going to tell you.
And still. Razing the whole place seems, well, just a tad excessive... It's not like letting the English build brand new houses will actually improve anything. They would need to learn to build better houses first.
I don't mean to be brutal by saying that London should be demolished, but there are inhabited places in London that are absolutely disgusting and still overpriced. Building decent new housing for people who work would improve 100% the quality of life of the working people.
But I do agree with you in one point: In Britain people don't know how to build housing; they still need to understand the function of a kitchen in a house. Maybe that's because most people don't know how to use it.
Please ignore this notorious troll.
James, the fact that we don't agree with each other does note necessarily mean that I am a troll and you are not.
Good riddance. It's nothing but "pop history" anyway. Jimi Hendrix and the King of the Zulus? Who cares?! Any money spent here would be far better used preserving St. John's Chapel, etc.
Buildings that are associated with Bevin, Dickens, Handel, Bartok, Johnson (Dr Samuel, not twat Boris), Pepys, Darwin, Allenby and Newton have all been recognized. TE readers will be pleased to note that Bagehot has also been commemorated. Hardly "pop history". When I worked in London these plaques brightened my day and helped me feel more connected to the city and those who lived and worked there. See http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/discover/blue-plaques/search/
'Committed amateurs can be relied upon to take up the reigns with vigour'. Seriously, Economist? Who 'reins' in your editing room?
i've always been a fan of Joe Meek's black plaque on Holloway Rd, remembering a pivotal music producer and a subtle nod to his dark demise (killing his landlady and himself probably looses him a blue one!)
Not to mention his "importuning for immoral purposes" conviction.
Blue plaques can really brighten up your day, and I'm all in favour of them. I understand that they have to be inoffensive and yet have some character to complement some of the buildings from which they hang, but I don't understand why a 19.5" plaque should cost $1,000. Surely an engraved or embossed metal plate would be much cheaper, and serve the same purpose.
Basic Law of the Street:
If you make the plaques too nice => then vandals will steal them.
Nice choice for the photo on this one
One of the best commemorations that I've seen was a on brass plaque on an interior wall of the Bar Ascott in Madrid. It said, "Ernest Hemingway never drank here."
They've had 147 years to put up the important plaques. I see no harm in taking a break. Ever more plaques, for the sake of it, just devalues them. It becomes another property developer's marketing trick. Why not ban them for a 147 years? When they re-start, we will treasure the process all over again.
Fred Perry(Andy Murray's nemesis}is more often remembered now than Sir Winston Churchill.In every Grand Slam where Murray is featured,the ghost of Fred Perry appears.We sincerely hope that with his recent successes,his ghost will finally be laid to a permanent rest.
As one who loves the blue plaques and reads other such plaques around the world. I believe that it would be a pity to deny London its street history. In the USA one reads dozens of questionable plaques claiming that "George Washington slept here"; in Germany Johann Wolfgang von Goethe slept every where also. All such plaques jog the memory or send us to our libraries (or computers) to find out more. To those who do not read them: What a pity and how much you are missing!
I think these blue plaques are wonderful. Just add a QR symbol for smartphone users that gives some background info and voila! Self guided tour complete.
Wrong. An electronic feed for these plaques addresses only those who are interested only in their own bellybuttons, and, in any case, uses a medium which will pretty soon disappear Plaques serve to show that at one time such and such a person was considered important and, if not any more, at least remind us of the dust that we shall soon be. They are worth it in exactly the form they have had for some time now.
Well, private initiative is normally better, since it is dedicated, and cheaper (more efficicient) than Government or Council initiative. No doubt the lovely blue plaques' tradition will survive the swingeing cuts in swinging London's Council budget. I wonder if there is one on your former Prime Minister, Tony ... somethings's ex-pad in Marylebone?
How does that work if there's no profit motive in putting up the plaques?
Well, Michael, normally I would have ignored your reply but since you and I share a fine first name I shall reply to it. It has to do with what we call charity. Fortunately there are innumerable folk in this confused and confusing world who are willing to give of their time and attention to doing good deeds for the benefit of their fellow men, women and children. These good folk do their good work without any expectation of payment. Hence, the cost to society is peanuts. Got it?
I find it hard to believe that in the context of a multi million £ budget which English Heritage must have that the cost of installing such plaques is a significant saving. it looks to me like they are trying to make a political point i.e. make the cuts look worse than they are by axing a high profile service ....sponsorship however may save the day.
I would be willing to bet money on that being the true reason.
Other firms my step into the breach but part and parcel of the allure of these plaques is their uniformity of design and the notion that they have to be researched and 'awarded' - even if that isn't strictly true. Fortunately this seems to be getting enough publicity that hopefully some sentimental donator will step into the breach with a wad of cash!
Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Amy Winehouse were all young gifted musicians, who went Supernova, burned-out, and died young.
All died at age 27 years old.
We like to think they all lead normal lives and were snuffed out because of some tragic congenital health condition.
They all died because of MENTAL ILLNESS: Addictions, Alcoholism, BiPolar, Depression, Delusional Psychosis, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Personality Disorders, and Fatalism.
27 yo do not just drop dead spontaneously.
They really have to work at it.
And in the end are quite terrible people to be around,
no different than a heroin addict in need of a fix.
Or an alcoholic committing vehicular manslaughter.
Michael Jackson died young as well.
In addition to being a top recording artist and dancer,
=> He was the World's Most Famous Child Molester.
Had Sex with Animals and kept his own personal zoo menagerie.
Was addicted to Plastic Surgery.
Yes he was crazy.
And in chronic pain and unhappiness.
And died in morphine addiction.
We tend to plaster over these details and leave the departed with Sainted Remembrances.
Mental illness is REAL.
And Major Depression is more unbearable than Cancer.
And Addictions are as powerful as brain washing.
And will destroy young lives as surely as war.
Schizophrenia is as common as the next school shooting.
Do not paper over the mental illness.
And we must deal with it.
Sanity is less common than we think.
Well, pal, Jesus hung on until he was about 33 or something. Little Mozart even longer at 35. But what is your point?
Janis Joplin, not Janice Joplin.
Janis Joplin, not Janice Joplin.
here we go again with the...
and the other
BTW, lets get back on topic...
Nice, Herr Steinbach, or may I say Stony brook?
Perhaps one can argue that the standard for blue plaques has fallen too low, but to stop placing them for the worthy is petty and contemptible.
Shouldn't committed amateurs take up the reins? If they were commemorating Edward I, II, and III, then I could see taking up the reigns.

Roasted Red Pepper Pesto Pasta with Kalamata Olives and Feta
Whenever I make a new pesto, I like to try it out in a basic pesto pasta dish and now that I had just made a roasted red pepper pesto with some Greek inspired flavours, it was time to try it out in a pasta. Although many pestos are balanced and well rounded, I find that roasted red pepper pestos can be a bit on the sweet side and I like to try to re-balance things a bit by adding some salty elements to the dish. With the Greek inspired flavour of fresh oregano already in the roasted red pepper pesto it seemed only natural to turn to some kalamata olives and even more feta cheese to add some saltiness to the dish. The net result was a really tasty roasted red pepper pesto pasta that was just packed with flavour! I particularly enjoyed the hint of balsamic vinegar from the pesto and all of the herbs added a really nice hit of freshness.
Roasted Red Pepper Pesto Pasta with Feta and Kalamata Olives
(makes 4 servings)Printable Recipe
1 pound pasta (I used whole wheat penne)
1/2 cup greek style roasted red pepper pesto
1/4 cup kalamata olives (pitted and coarsely chopped)
1 handful parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup feta (crumbled)
1. Cook the pasta as directed on the package.
2. Drain the pasta reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
3. Toss the pasta with the pesto, pasta water, olives and parsley.
4. Serve garnished with crumbled feta.

BTW give Fedora 13 a spin; had no choice but to install a superior DE like KDE in order for the apps to stop crashing (Gnome).
And seriously... A new desktop concept? I hope you do not mean multiple desktops, a compositing WM and app/file search? Mac OS X, Windows and KDE has had that for a _very_ long time.

This is a nice looking jacket that runs large in size (needed a L instead of my usual XL). Flows air well, doesn't flap in the wind like some textile jackets. The waterproof pocket for your phone is a nice touch, but could be a bit smaller. The other waterproof pocket is huge and pointless. I had to roll it up to get any airflow onto my chest. My only other complaint is that the collar could be higher/smaller; shirt collars always stick out and flutter in the wind.

To produce his stunning wrist watches, Issey Miyake collaborates with industrial and product designers who share his love for clean lines, subtle elegance, and nature-inspired motifs. Miyake's Twelve, a sleek design conceptualized by Naoto Fukasawa, forgoes numbers and other markings in favor of a 12-angled watch-face frame that indicates the hour. With three mini-dials embedded in the display, Fukasawa's Trapezoid style is somewhat busier than the Twelve, yet keeps things relatively straightforward with easy-to-read minute markings and a plain black-and-white or bright salmon. The To, designed by Tokujin Yokiosha, tells time using three shifting concentric rings; his O style captures "the shape of water" with a clear band and an off-center watch face that appears as though it is floating in a clear puddle. With these and other designs, Miyake's avant-garde timepiece collection — like his shoes, bags, perfumes, and clothing — represents the perfect balance of functionality and artistry.

Budget cut impact: Smaller Navy, fired teachers
Friday - 2/15/2013, 4:38pm EST
Associated Press
What does smaller government look like? The budget standoff between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans means Americans may soon find out, and the picture the Obama administration sketches is downright scary.
Cuts in the Navy's Pacific operations of one-third. Furloughed food inspectors forcing nationwide closures of meat and poultry plants. Ten thousand laid-off teachers. A $1 billion reduction in the relief fund for disaster victims. Less secure airline flights and longer waits on airport security screening lines. Reduced monitoring of air pollution, oil spills and hazardous waste.
All this and more because $85 billion in cuts across most federal programs will be automatically triggered March 1 unless Obama and Republicans do something that's eluded them for months: approve alternative savings.
A look at the fight over the so-called sequester, and what its impact could be:
--State of play: The cuts -- plus nearly $1 trillion more over the coming decade -- were enacted two years ago in hopes that their sheer ugliness would force the two sides to replace the reductions with a sweeping, bipartisan deficit-reduction deal. So far that's not happened.
The administration has repeatedly warned that the sequester must be avoided. White House budget office controller Daniel L. Werfel told Congress on Thursday that they would have "destructive consequences."
Though many lawmakers of both parties would like to find a way out, conservative Republicans have said they're willing to live with the reductions. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told The Associated Press this week that "we're going to be stuck with it" until Obama proposes a solution that can pass the Democratic-led Senate.
--Overall impact: Administrations past and present always excel at threatening scenarios that make it appear that life as we know it will end. In this case, the law limits the flexibility government officials will have to protect favored programs, but Werfel wrote that the White House has instructed agencies to give priority to avoiding cuts that could "present risks to life, safety or health" and seek other ways to minimize harm to important government services.
The sequester law exempts Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps and Medicare recipients' benefits from cuts, but most programs are vulnerable.
The cuts were expected to mean reductions this year of 8 percent in defense and 5 percent in nondefense programs. But because lawmakers recently delayed the impact until March 1 -- meaning they will affect only the last seven months of the government's budget year -- the sequester will force deeper reductions of 13 percent for defense and 9 percent for other programs.
--Defense: The Defense Department announced last week that because of the cuts it is withdrawing one of its two aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf region, but there's more coming.
The Navy's top officer, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, told Congress that because of the sequester and already planned long-range reductions, the Navy could not fully support counterterrorism operations in Somalia and Yemen. A letter the Pentagon sent to Congress this week says the military will protect operations for ongoing wars, but expects to curtail maintenance of aircraft and ships, reduce training and maintenance for some Army units and cut Air Force flying hours. There would probably be a freeze in hiring civilians, instead of the 1,500 to 2,000 new jobs monthly. Current civilian workers could be furloughed up to 22 days. And the military's Tricare health care system could lose $3 billion, threatening elective care for some military dependents and retirees.
--Homeland Security: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wrote to Congress that there will be fewer border agents and fewer facilities for detained illegal immigrants. There would be reduced Coast Guard air and sea operations, furloughed Secret Service agents and weakened efforts to detect cyberthreats to computer networks. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund would lose more than $1 billion. "We do not have the luxury of making significant reductions to our capabilities without placing our nation at risk," Napolitano wrote.
--Education: Education Secretary Arne Duncan told Congress that 70,000 Head Start pupils would be removed from the pre-kindergarten program, about 1 of every 13. Duncan warned those cuts would mean layoffs of 10,000 teachers and thousands of other staffers because of cuts in federal dollars that state and local governments use for schools. Cuts for programs for handicapped and other special needs students would threaten 7,200 teachers and aides, he said.
--Health: The National Institutes of Health would lose $1.6 billion, trimming research on cancer, drying up money for hundreds of other research projects and eliminating up 20,000 private research positions nationwide. Health departments would give 424,000 fewer tests for the AIDS virus this year. More than 373,000 seriously ill people may not receive needed mental health services.
