My Favorite Trader Joe's Goodies
Are you a Trader Joe's fan? I'am. I love to cook and I believe sitting down for family
dinners is important. But, sometime's we just don't have the time and life gets busy and
when this happens, I turn to good ole TJ's, Here are a few of my favorite goodies.
My favorite go to pizza's...both of these are incredible.
A couple of Fall favorite's...Creamy Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soups.
I like to jazz these up with a little cream or creme fraiche and fresh herbs.
There are no words to describe what these tasty treats mean to me. Arancini Bites.
Creamed Honey is my favorite TJ's product! I love it on my toast or morning
bagel....So good. Pub Cheese-give me some crackers and dinner is served! lol
If you love Almonds....these are the absolute best! Marcona Almonds with Rosemary.
My Go-To quick meal....serve with carrot and cucumber sticks. YUM
This Almond Danish Ring...has made my morning's so good. I dunk it in my coffee.
BBQ Popped Potato Chips are my number one snack. YUM
By far my favorite part of TJ's is the sweets and these 3 ....I LOVE. I could
just open the Fleur De Sel - Caramel Sauce and eat it out of the jar.
This was a very fun post for me...Of course, the list could have went on and on...I just
adore so much but these are my favorites. I did leave out a jar of the coconut oil..
because, I ate it all. Sigh. What are some of your favorites? Please share.

There must be some regional differences, because I've never seen some of these goodies!! I've been looking for the almond danish since you last told me about it, but I've never seen it at our store. My favorite are the puff pastry caramelized onion bites!!! Yum! I am stocking up every time I go for holiday parties! :) Love the wontons- although I got the vegetarian ones. Love the chocolate Mochi's too! I am going to have to scour or ask about some of the ones you showed here. thanks for sharing your faves!
ReplyDeleteI miss Trader Joe's so much!! This post is torture for me haha. I love the Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper soup, their little garlic clams (that you pop in the micro and are amazing as an appetizer), and their ice cream mochi. And I can't believe I've lived without their organic unsalted peanut butter for so long (or their quick steel cut oats). *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love Trader Joe's so much and I have to stop in there practically everyday to "just grab one more thing", but I'm surprised I haven't tried any of these!! They'll be going on my list shortly (: I love the peanut butter cups they make! I can eat an entire case in one sitting :/ I also love their spinach pizza- it's almost exactly like Annie's brand but much cheaper!! Their mango lemonade-to die for!
ReplyDeleteOh..you beat me to it!! ha!ha! I was totally thinking about doing a TJ's post of my favorites...guess great minds think alike ; ) I love that place! The whole wheat pizza dough,honey apple butter, hummus dip,greek feta salad dressing, popcorn, taco seasoning, soyaki marinade are just a few favs! I can't wait to go back and grab the things on your list!! : ) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh Val, I want to get into the car right this minute and speed to TJ's for some of those, no, ALL of those mentions!!! I go all the time, and how could I never have tried most of that???? HOW I ask you? This WAS fun, and it gives me some great new ideas. My daughter, also loves to cook, and she got me a cook book that was written by two gals who use TJ's products. It is not affiliated with TJ's but boy is it a great book!!! I will have to do one of these posts too soon. So fun!!!
Krismmmm all of your stuff looks yummy! I've had a few of your things. Let me go look in our pantry because we also shop there... yogurt stars (kids & husbands favorite), baked cheese crunchies, garlic hummus, spiced cider, crushed garlic in a jar, Californis style complete protein bread (made with sprouts and no wheat), Jo-Jo's, fruit frenzy bars (raspberry, lemon & strawberry), Caribbean fruit floes, peach pops, gone bananas, and grilled frozen asparagus spears. That's what we have right now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I, too, love TJ's. Those mini ice cream cones look great, I will have to give them a try. Let's see, some Trader Joe's favorites -- I love their instant coffee for my homemade frappuccinos. I make them into ice cubes and freeze them for later blended deliciousness. I've also recently discovered their teeny little chocolate nibs, just one calorie each. Fun when you need a chocolate fix but don't have extra calories to splurge. Also their chocolate truffles are to die for!

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVS) take to the skies to track pollutants
Expedition achieves milestone in analyzing atmospheric chemistry
A research consortium funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and led by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, has successfully sent a fleet of aerial drones through the pollution-filled skies over the Indian Ocean, thereby achieving an important milestone in the tracking of pollutants responsible for dimming Earth's atmosphere.The instrument-bearing autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs) completed 18 successful data-gathering missions in the vicinity of the Maldives, an island chain nation south of India, said Scripps scientist V. Ramanathan.
During the Maldives AUAV Campaign (MAC), groupings of three aircraft were flown in a vertical formation that allowed their onboard instruments to observe conditions below, inside and above clouds simultaneously. Researchers hope the data produced during the flights will reveal in unprecedented detail how pollution particles cause dimming and contribute to the formation of clouds which amplify the dimming caused by the pollution.
"MAC has demonstrated that lightweight AUAVs and their miniaturized instruments are an effective and inexpensive means of simultaneously sampling clouds in polluted environments from within and from all sides," said Jay Fein, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, which funded MAC. "They will serve as critically important additions to our atmospheric measurement capability for one of the major issues in climate change science: How does pollution affect cloud microphysical and radiative processes in the context of weather and climate?"
Stacked flights with manned aircraft have been attempted, but rarely. The difficulty and cost of assembling and coordinating three similar aircraft have prevented the sort of repeated measurements required to sample clouds adequately. "Based on MAC's success it is possible that in five years, hundreds of lightweight AUAVs will be documenting how human beings are polluting the planet and hopefully provide an early warning system for potential environmental disasters in the future," said Ramanathan.
The skies over the Indian Ocean visibly bear the imprint of human activities in South Asia, frequently in what are termed atmospheric brown clouds, particulate-laden haze and cumulus clouds that frequently blanket the region. The role that dust and aerosols from industrial, urban and agricultural emissions play in creating this brown haze is an important variable to researchers who study climate change, espeically how human activities could be changing the planet's albedo, or reflectivity.
Cloud cover cools Earth's surface by reflecting solar radiation back into space. In recent years, researchers have realized that pollution in the atmosphere, and the dimming and cooling it causes, could be leading scientists to underestimate the true magnitude of global-warming trends observed in recent decades.
Ramanathan has led a consortium of academic and industrial partners in the development of aircraft and integrating them with miniaturized instruments that can obtain aerosol-cloud-solar radiation data in remote regions once considered unobtainable: multi-dimensional portraits of clouds created in polluted environments over periods of several hours.
The "Manta" AUAVs, constructed by Tucson, Ariz. firm Advanced Ceramics Research (ACR), represent a feat of miniaturization. Each AUAV bears an instrument package that weighs less than five kilograms (11 pounds). The packages developed by the team include sensors for measuring solar radiation, cloud-drop size and concentrations, particle size and concentrations, turbulence, humidities and temperatures.
Flights took place between March 6 and March 31, 2006, taking off from an airport on the island of Hanimaadhoo in the Maldives. Each AUAV tracked a separate component of brown cloud formation. The lowest, flying beneath the cloud, quantified the input of pollution particles and measured quantities of light that penetrated the clouds.
The aircraft flying through the cloud measured the cloud's response to the introduction of particles. The aircraft flying above the cloud measured the amount of sunlight reflected by the clouds into space and the export of particles out of the clouds.
"We're excited about being involved in the study of atmospheric brown clouds using cutting edge flight control software developed in our unmanned aerial vehicles," said Anthony Mulligan, CEO of Advanced Ceramics Research. "We're have provided scientists with a way to further their research, and look forward to providing a low-cost, effective way to gather additional information."
In addition to NSF, the research was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation and the Alderson Foundation. The research was also supported by the United Nations Environmental Program and the Republic of Maldives.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering, with an annual budget of $5.58 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 1,700 universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives about 40,000 competitive requests for funding, and makes nearly 10,000 new funding awards. The NSF also awards over $400 million in professional and service contracts yearly.

text: US lawmakers invite gun victims to Obama speech on Feb 11, 2013 @ 5:30 PMJoining the White House in its demand for tougher gun laws, two dozen US lawmakers will host gun violence victims and relatives Tuesday at President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech.First Lady Michelle Obama will help lead the way, with aides confirming that the parents of Chicago shooting victim Hadiya Pendleton will join her for the speech.Pendleton was a teenage high school band majorette who performed at Obama's January inauguration just days before she was gunned down in Chicago.Democratic congressman Ron Barber will host his predecessor in the House of Representatives, Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head at a mass shooting two years ago in her Arizona district.Republican Senator John McCain will host Giffords' husband Mark Kelly.In an emotional return to Congress, Giffords attended Obama's 2012 State of the Union speech one day before retiring from the House to focus on her recovery."Mark and I will be there again tomorrow night, because this is a critical moment in time for legislation to reduce gun violence in the United States," Giffords said in a statement Monday, when she appeared in a debut TV ad for her new group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, which seeks to prevent gun violence.At least 23 members of the US House, including Democratic minority leader Nancy Pelosi, will also host gun violence victims or their relatives.The guests will include Natalie Hammond, a teacher who was shot three times by a gunman who massacred 20 schoolchildren and six adults last December at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.She joins congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy's guest, Police Chief John Aresta of Malverne, New York, whose uncle was killed, along with McCarthy's husband, in a 1993 mass shooting on a Long Island train.House Democrats including Mike Thompson, chairman of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, last week unveiled a package of possible gun control legislation which largely mirrored proposals put forward by Obama in the wake of Newtown.One lawmaker took his message in a different direction.Republican Steve Stockman said his guest at Obama's speech would be none other than Ted Nugent, the aging rocker and controversial gun advocate."I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama," said Stockman on Monday.Nugent drew the attention of the US Secret Service last April when he warned at a National Rifle Association meeting that he would end up "dead or in jail" if Obama was reelected.Stockman last month threatened to initiate impeachment proceedings against Obama over the president's use of executive privilege to tighten gun laws, but ultimately backed off the threat.mlm/dw

Diphenyl ether is the organic compound with the formula O(C6H5)2. The molecule is subject to reactions typical of other phenyl rings, including hydroxylation, nitration, halogenation, sulfonation, and Friedel–Crafts alkylation or acylation.[2] This simple diaryl ether enjoys a variety of niche applications.
Diphenyl ether and many of its properties were first reported as early as 1901.[3] It is synthesized by a modification of the Williamson ether synthesis, here the reaction of phenol and bromobenzene in the presence of base and a catalytic amount of copper:
- PhONa + PhBr → PhOPh + NaBr
Involving similar reactions, diphenyl ether is a significant side product in the high-pressure hydrolysis of chlorobenzene in the production of phenol.[4]
The main application of diphenyl ether is as a eutectic mixture with biphenyl, used as a heat transfer medium. Such a mixture is well-suited for heat transfer applications because of the relatively large temperature range of its liquid state.
Diphenyl ether is a starting material in the production of phenoxathiin via the Ferrario reaction.[5] Phenoxathiin is used in polyamide and polyimide production.[6]
Because of its odor reminiscent of scented geranium, as well as its stability and low price, diphenyl ether is used widely in soap perfumes.[7] Diphenyl ether is also used as a processing aid in the production of polyesters.
Several polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are useful flame retardants. Of penta-, octa-, and decaBDE, the three most common PBDEs, only decaBDE is still in widespread use since its ban in the European Union in 2003.[8] DecaBDE, also known as decabromodiphenyl oxide,[9] is a high-volume industrial chemical with over 450,000 kilograms produced annually in the United States. Decabromodiphenyl oxide is sold under the trade name Saytex 102 as a flame retardant in the manufacture of paints and reinforced plastics.

Retired Fire Chief Pens Reflection on Life as Volunteer in Colorado
GOLDEN, Colo., June 29, 2011 - Edward Daniels recalls his life as a volunteer firefighter in Colorado in his novel based on actual events, "Fire Chief" (ISBN1456351761). The book takes readers into the heat which countless volunteer firefighters face every day throughout the United States.
Most people don't realize that those firefighters and medics who respond to fires and accidents in rural areas are almost always volunteers. These first responders sacrifice time with their families and their careers to dedicate their lives to the citizens they protect.
While he fictionalizes his characters and locations, Daniels bases "Fire Chief" on actual experiences and encounters. The narrator recalls his life as a volunteer firefighter who attempts to balance the load of raising a family, managing a career and maintaining an active fire and rescue role in the Colorado mountains. Readers go along for the journey as the firefighter grows into an expert leader who eventually retires and reflects on his lifetime of bravery and public service.
"I want people to understand what their neighbors and friends are going through as volunteer firefighters and medics," Daniels said. "I want others to be inspired to volunteer and to see for themselves what life is like as a volunteer first responder."
"Fire Chief" provides a window into a volunteer's exciting moments and unexpected turns during a typical day on the beat. The story aims to educate readers on the level of commitment required of these volunteers, and the emotional toll such a sacrifice takes on their families and relationships.
"Fire Chief" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
About the Author: Edward Daniels spent more than 14 years with Colorado's Foothills Fire and Rescue as a firefighter, officer, board member and chief before he retired. Daniels is a business consultant and has been an executive with several technology and healthcare corporations for almost three decades. The author holds degrees in industrial engineering and psychology. He serves on the board of directors of the Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District in Colorado.

Civil Rights Heroine Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson DiesFrom the West Alabama Newsroom-- Family and friends are mourning the loss of a civil rights leader who opened her home to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others to plan the Selma to Montgomery March. Jackson's home on the 1400 block of Lapsley Street is where Martin Luther King, Junior and the leaders of the Selma Voting Rights Movement directed and guided the movement that changed the world. Her life and legacy were honored and celebrated at a graveside service Wednesday morning in Selma. Alston Fitts is one the dozens of people who attended the service. "She was a wonderful lady, a teacher, a mother, a loyal church member," said Fitts. "She was a behind the scenes person," said Randy Williams. "She didn't have to be out front for the credit, but she did a lot of very important and valuable work for the civil rights movement." Jackson died Sunday in Atlanta. She was 81. |

Giu, they really only have control over the halyard and outhaul. novangs or cunninghams.
I got to go in the first heat we were just weight. but its not like being weight on a modern boat.
On the way to the start we had a power boat along side and they ajusted the amount of balast fo the wind and the crew weight. To say the boat was tender would be a gross understatement.
With the pry boards you have to get out on it quick when you tack or the boat will sink.
this is exactly what happened to the boat I raced on in the first heat.
In the second heat. (You only get to race in one heat then they Changed out the non Bahamian crew.) We placed second in our heat and should have been first but there was some miscommunication on the course.
In the second heat the boat that I was on and still ruetting for flipped and sank. I asked the captain about it later and he said that he gave the order to tack and the new crew just sat there. they didnt move to the other side and the boat broached and sank. No big deal because They were only in 8 ft of water. so they dove down let the rig go and got the lead out of the boat and refloated her.
The boat in the pics is the one Joni raced on they won therir heat and finished second overall. Joni got to accept the big check on behalf of the crew of Smashie.
We all got waxed by the Jr female national champion. on Termite.
and if that wasn't bad enough we raced in the cruisers regatta the next day and finnished in the middle of the pack and She whipped us all in an A class. Called Tida Wave
Wich is a bigger version of the same boats in my photos.
My Appologies for the spelling but her name sounds like Naory(nay ori)
She is only 14 I think she will be an olympian one day.
The other cool thing about the race is that we started from Anchor talk about fun on the starting line!!!!

Fingerprint sensor off limits to developers says Apple's Schiller
The scanner, which is part of the home button, uses a sensor that is just 170 microns and scans sub-epidermal skin layers with a 500ppi resolution sensor. Unlike the fingerprint scanner on the Motorola ATRIX 4G, which turned out to be a huge failure, users don't need to swipe their fingers along a pad on the iPhone 5S. Instead, they merely touch the home button just like they've done for years.
And while Apple might decide in the future to open up the technology to developers, right now it is off limits to them. Apple CEO Tim Cook was talking about other uses for the fingerprint sensor when he said, "You can probably imagine a lot of [other] uses." Whether we can or can't doesn't matter since for right now, the Touch ID sensor code is closed to the public.

I hope they implement some sort of secure API eventually. This kind of makes sense for security, they don't want apps saving and uploading your fingerprints, but there must be some secure way of doing it.

you may change your pass word if you feel hacked, or for precaution.. But you can not chage your fingerprint.
Banking with fingerprint should be forbidden. And I think it will not happen. It will not be possible now, though.
Only unlock and iTunes.
I woudn't give my fingerprint even to Apple.

One more way for the government to have everyone one on file finger print everyone possible everyone else will jump on this bandwagon

Well this is a letdown! This thing could have so much potential if developers were allowed to have their way with it.

I agree, it could have had much more use. Hopefully they\'ll update it to developers next year. In terms of security, developers don\'t have to have direct access to the fingerprints. If an app requires a fingerprint passcode, Apple software can just send some kind of signal that says \"fingerprint correct\" without the app ever seeing the actual fingerprint.

I understand the awesome things that apps can do with this sort of authentication (if Apple would allow it); but this is a very, very, very good thing for consumers. I don't want some third rate app who is trying to spam me to have a pristine imprint of my fingerprint. kthxbai

17. hellonerds (Posts: 269; Member since: 27 Aug 2013)
so you're just putting your fingerprints on the home button and thats your password that someone can just put some of that detective powder thing to make a copy of your prints and 3D print it or something then they have your key to unlock your phone.. pretty sure your prints will go to FBI database without your knowing lol..

Would be nice if you could lock down individual apps with your finger print. If you unlock and give your phone to some one to use you still want to keep some things personal.

It is the opinion of Phonearena moderators that my comment earlier was "trolling." It was passionate, it was angry, but it wasn't trolling.
However, I'll be a little nicer this time.
Alan, you have no objective source that the fingerprint scanner on the Atrix sucked. Just like any piece of tech, it wasn't perfect, and the Atrix certainly wasn't perfect overall.
However, myself and at least two other commenters here agree that the fingerprint scanner actually worked, thus nullifying your use of anecdotal evidence.
Therefore, it is in your best interests to modify the article in order to reflect more objective fact.

The fingerprint scanner on the Atrix not only work.... it was one of the most reliable hardware components on the phone itself...
I had problems with the digitizer, bluetooth, battery, overheating.... etc but the Fingerprint scanner is still able to unlock my old phone at the first try...
33. Leo_MC (Posts: 682; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)
Nor should Apple give access to anyone.
34. bubbadoes (Posts: 496; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Biometrics on a $650 phone will never work. The least bit of missing data from your stored meta file will always lead to failed logins. And if apple has your stored prints guess who will also have it and your GPS location also
37. buccob (Posts: 1890; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
There is always a secondary access method to this type of security on phones...
38. alouden (Posts: 281; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I don't usually agree with Apple about anything. But I think they are 100% right this time. I would NOT want anyone, not even Apple, having my fingerprints.

Dodd says he has prostate cancer, feels fine
Dodd said evidence of possible cancer was detected in June during his annual physical and later confirmed by a biopsy. He said he plans to have surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York shortly after Congress adjourns next week and is "very confident we're going to come out of this well." Dodd, with wife Jackie Clegg Dodd by his side, said he feels fine and expects to return to a full schedule at the end of August. "I'm running for re-election. I'll be a little leaner, a little meaner, but I'm running," Dodd told reporters, friends and supporters who gathered at his Hartford office. He later quipped: "I'll be running without a prostate." Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Dominican Republic in the 1960's.
Dodd says he has prostate cancer, feels fine
Dodd says he has prostate cancer, feels fine
WASHINGTON - Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd said Friday that he has been diagnosed with an early stage of prostate cancer and will have surgery in early August, but the prognosis is good and the illness will not affect his plans to seek a sixth term next year.
Dodd said evidence of possible cancer was detected in June during his annual physical and later confirmed by a biopsy. He said he plans to have surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York shortly after Congress adjourns next week and is "very confident we're going to come out of this well."
Dodd, with wife Jackie Clegg Dodd by his side, said he feels fine and expects to return to a full schedule at the end of August.
"I'm running for re-election. I'll be a little leaner, a little meaner, but I'm running," Dodd told reporters, friends and supporters who gathered at his Hartford office.
He later quipped: "I'll be running without a prostate."
The 65-year-old Democrat is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and is playing a lead role in Congress' attempt to overhaul the nation's health care system. He said he will continue to be actively involved in those negotiations.
Dodd took that role while his close friend, Senate health committee Chairman Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts fights his own battle with brain cancer.
Dodd said he has kept his diagnosis quiet for weeks, consulting only with doctors and a few fellow senators who have had prostate cancer. He decided not to tell Kennedy until Thursday because of his own health problems.
Dodd said he also didn't inform some family members right away because his sister, Martha Dodd Buonanno, was suffering from lung cancer. She died July 6.
Dodd said he decided Thursday night to choose surgery over other treatment options.
Cancer has not spread
Prostate cancer is the most common form of the disease in men in the United States, affecting about 6.4 out of every 100 men in Dodd's age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. William K. Kelly, who heads the prostate and urologic cancers program at the Yale Cancer Center, said the prostate-removal surgery that Dodd is seeking shows the cancer is localized and has not spread.
"He should do very well," Kelly said. "He should have a good recovery and should be very functional after several weeks."
Kelly said the biggest risk factor of prostate cancer is age. By the age of 75 or 80, he said 75 percent of males will have prostate cancer but the majority are not serious.
Dodd used the diagnosis to make a pitch for overhauling the U.S. health care system.
"For a person who loses health care coverage, that physical may not be something that you can afford," he said. "I'm fortunate as a member of Congress to have those benefits."
In Washington, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he didn't know if President Barack Obama had called Dodd upon learning about the cancer, but said he was likely to call later Friday.
Dodd is facing what's expected to be a tough re-election campaign. A poll last week showed him trailing former Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, 48 percent to 39 percent, and 52 percent of respondents disapproved of Dodd's job performance.
Simmons said he and his wife Heidi extended their best wishes to Dodd.
"We join the rest of Connecticut in keeping Chris and his family in our thoughts and prayers, and know he will return with vigor to the campaign trail when circumstances allow," Simmons said.
Another potential challenger, Republican state Sen. Sam Caligiuri, also sent his best wishes.
Ethics probe
The Senate ethics committee is looking into whether Dodd violated standards of conduct when he allegedly received mortgage discounts from the VIP program at Countrywide Financial Corp.
Dodd, whose committee oversees the banking and financial industries, has acknowledged participating in a Countrywide VIP program, which he said he thought referred to upgraded customer service. He denied asking for or receiving any special treatment when he refinanced his homes in Washington and East Haddam, Conn., in 2003.
Dodd was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 and was re-elected in 1976 and 1978, and was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980.
He ran unsuccessfully for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, dropping out after failing to gain support in the Iowa caucuses.
He and Clegg have two young daughters.

Zeidy Zalman tells a tale "Of vengeance and riches"
JOSEF TOOK A DEEP BREATH and fixed his yarmulke so it rested precisely
in the center of his head. He then looked into the bathroom mirror and
"If I must say so myself, I do look quite convincing, don't I," he asked
himself. Few, Josef assured himself, would ever be able to tell he was
not the person who he seemed to be.
And that was quite important, indeed. What would happen in the next few
minutes would either make or break Josef. If he believed in G-d, he
would have most certainly prayed to Him at that moment.
"Yes," the tired voice of the legendary Chacham Tzvi answered. "Please
come in."
"Rebbe," Josef began. "I have just finished writing a sefer
(religious work) and would like to print it. But before I do so, I would
like a letter of endorsement."
"I'm truly sorry," the sage replied. "But I simply don't have the time
Josef, not taking "no" for an answer, was determined. He insisted that
the process would only take a few moments.
"Very well, let me see your sefer," the sage, who was known as a
kind spirit, said. The Chacham Tzvi then proceeded to carefully read
through the manuscript. Finding nothing objectionable in it, he gave
Josef the letter he requested -- a piece of paper that would almost
certainly guaranteed the book would become a bestseller.
"Silly old rabbi," Josef muttered under his breath at the first moment
he could. "Silly, silly old man."
And with the priceless letter in his possession, Josef put Step Two into
motion. He swapped the manuscript he had shown the great sage, for one
that questioned the very foundations of the Jewish faith. If all went
well, unsuspecting Jews would be tricked into purchasing -- and reading
-- trash.
When news of the revised contents came to the Chacham Tzvi's ears, his
emotions quickly to turned from shock to anger. But much more intense
were the feelings of remorse. His name would, no doubt, now be the
impetus that would cause harm to Jews the world over. The sage
immediately ordered Josef to refrain from publishing his endorsement. He
demanded the letter be returned at once.
When Josef heard about the saint's demands, he merely laughed. "Too late,
dear rabbi. Tomorrow I'll begin the printing," he told the sage's
messenger, who had brought Josef the message.
Not wasting any time, he took a drastic measure. He immediately arranged
that a fire be set at the publisher's warehouse. And the next evening,
as Josef no doubtedly slept peacefully dreaming about all the money he
would soon be raking in, every last copy of his book burned. Not one
A vindictive sort, Josef knew who to blame for his troubles. He
immediately ordered a "hit" on the sage.
The one "hitman" he could find to do the dastardly deed, was the town
nebbish. He was an elderly bachelor whom most had
predicted would never amount to much. He really had nothing to lose by
"bumping off" the sage. Indeed, with all the money Josef had promised
him, he reasoned, he had only to gain. After the "hit," he fantasized,
he would be able to buy a large house and convince a starry-eyed woman
to marry him. Life would finally begin to be good.
Josef's directions were detailed. The "hitman" was to wait early in the
morning at the edge of a certain bridge on the edge of town. As the sage
made his way to the morning prayers (Shacharis) before sunrise, he
was to be thrown over the bridge. With the area isolated, nobody would
ever find out.
The next morning, like clockwork, the Chacham Tzvi approached the
bridge. But try as he might, the "hitman" couldn't bring himself to
murder the sage. On the third day, the Chacham Tzvi stopped to talk to
the bachelor.
"What's the matter with you, son? You've been acting very strange for
the past three mornings."
This was the perfect moment. This is my chance, he thought.
But he just couldn't do it.
"Rebbe," the "hitman" replied as he began to break down crying. "I'm
ashamed to admit that I was prepared to murder you; but only because I
desire money and materialism and honor so, so much. However, each day
when I steeled myself to do this crime, one look at your face, which
shines with righteousness, was enough to stop me. But I assure you,
Rebbe, it was only the money that led me even to consider such an act."
The sage smiled kindly at him. "Because you were able to withstand such
a terrible sin, despite the great financial loss on your part, I will
give you a blessing that not only you, but for many generations, your
descendants will be wealthy."
MANY YEARS LATER, a Polish Jew was accused of committing a horrendous
crime. Despite his pleas of innocence, a court found him guilty of
murder. The one chance he had for his life to be saved, was to plead for
clemency directly to Franz Joseph, the emperor of Austria, who also
ruled over Poland. However, the man's pleas fell on deaf ears. The
court's death sentence was confirmed.
The man's parents were distraught and turned to the sainted Sanzer Rav
for help.
"There is only one person who could perhaps influence Franz Josef, and
that is the philanthropist, Baron Rothchild. Let us call on him and ask
that he intercede on your son's behalf."
"But Rebbe," came Rothchild's reply, "I have decided never to visit the
emperor more than once in three months. It is, after all, not befitting
my dignity and importance."
"Listen, Rothchild," the Sanzer warned him in no uncertain terms. "I'm a
direct descendant of the Chacham Tzvi who gave the blessing that
provided your family's wealth. Just as my ancestor could give this
blessing of wealth, so too can I take it away. Maybe it would be wise
to reconsider your position."
Rothchild's efforts saved an innocent man's life, just as his forebear
saved the Chacham Tzvi's. The Rothchild family remains wealthy to this
day, one of the richest families the world over.

I just recently made a purchase on a used first generation '03 Tacoma 2.4liter single cab, manual. It had about 92K miles already on it when I got it, the engine was pretty clean and it runs pretty good. I've only had it for about 3 weeks now, the idle was a bit rough, but nothing to cry home about....
I did the seafoam suck and it spewed some smoke for about 5-7 minutes polluting my neighborhood....afterwards, trucks idle is a lot smoother!
I've noticed though, even before the seafoam cleanse; the truck seriously would eat a quarter of a tank with less than 35 miles - wth!?!
I didn't buy the truck to be a gas saver....like most have said in other threads I've researched under "mpg" - I would've gotten a prius. But man oh man, I didn't know I was getting a V10 mpg wise lol.
the guy who owned it before, must have done all the work himself - the air filter is brand new, oil recently changed, all fluids good....
I haven't checked the plugs or wires or had them changed yet.
the gas cap is secure and tight....when popped, it makes the gas escaping noise which should be a good thing, air in tires is properly inflated and than some....
I checked the maf, to me (maybe I'm looking in the wrong areas or something as I'm not crazy mechanically inclined...) but the maf sensor seems to be pretty clean..(no gunk residue or residue build up anywhere on the sensors or around them, it's pretty clean) - haven't checked the TB screen or cleaned them yet.
What else should I look for other than doing plugs and wires anyway, cleaning maf and tb maybe....????
I have been driving it like a grandma, no hard shifts or anything crazy, just drive it to work and back and literally see the needle drop in front of me - 14 miles in, 14 miles back home; some highway, some traffic along the way..but not enough to literally see the needle drop as much....geezus.
any help would be appreciated, thanks!

of these vehicles may go well beyond the precompetitive R&D boundaries that define USCAR's cooperative work. Because each manufacturer views the market somewhat differently, each is expected to develop a different type of concept vehicle. They will also have different approaches to mass reduction and will use different power train configurations. All three manufacturers have programs to develop hybrid-electric power trains, and many different configurations and degrees of hybridization are possible. Also, in the next few years, some test-bed cars that incorporate one or another advanced concept will continue to be built and tested, in addition to vehicles that meet all of the PNGV concept vehicle criteria.
In spite of this diversity, many areas of precompetitive research have still not been explored. All of the most promising technologies listed above still require major development before they will be serious candidates for use in mass-produced passenger cars and trucks. Reducing the cost of these technologies is the most common concern.
Some of the technologies being explored (e.g., fuel-cell power plant, advanced batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels) are very promising but are unlikely to be ready for application in full-concept vehicles before 2000. These technologies are expected to be developed under the PNGV cooperative program and incorporated in post-2000 concept vehicles.
All three USCAR partners have DOE-supported HEV programs that started at different times and have somewhat different goals. The vehicles being constructed under these contracts should not be confused with the concept vehicles being built for the PNGV program. They will not necessarily meet the criteria for the PNGV concept vehicles. For example, they were conceived as vehicles that would deliver only twice the baseline fuel economy. Nevertheless, these programs will speed the development of components specifically suited for HEV applications and increase the expertise in systems management issues associated with this complex power train.
Recommendation. The relationship between the criteria for technology selection and the critical requirements of Goal 3 should be made more explicit to facilitate the proper distribution of resources for an ongoing, well structured research and development program.

Original Blend
user ratingThis all-natural, sugar-free, gluten-free spice blend was created to make everything you cook taste better. No wonder we've coined it "Wonder Spice.' One taste and you'll know why. It's an artistic blend of herbs and spices that you will want to use it on anything and everything, like meats, fish, veggies, scrambled eggs, potatoes, hummus, and bruschetta, just to name a few. Leave a tin on your table to use instead of salt and pepper.

dc.description.abstract | Local government occupies a unique place in the South African system of government. This is circumscribed by the Constitution which contains directives. enjoining municipalities inter alia to provide democratic and accountable government for local communities and to promote social and economic development (section 152) as well as to undertake developmentally–oriented planning (section 153). In addition local government has a specific role to play regarding access to adequate housing and, in that context, evictions. In terms of sections 25 and 26 of the Constitution as well as legislation enacted in terms of these provisions new and different procedures have been put in place to demarcate the role of municipalities in evictions. The interpretation, by the courts, of these legislative provisions, has created a framework within which municipalities must react to and deal with evictions. In terms of that framework a number of duties and responsibilities are placed on municipalities, which include that they do the following: have policies, actions and programmes in place, draw up proper housing plans, be notified of evictions, mediate and engage with all stakeholders and provide temporary – and suitable alternative – accommodation of a specific standard, all of which must be consistent with principles of human dignity and be reasonable. Against this background this paper will interrogate the role of local government in evictions, concentrating on the constitutional directives for municipalities, the different eviction procedures and the duties and responsibilities of municipalities. | en_US |

Woman taken to hospital after Poultney crashNovember 19,2012POULTNEY A local woman was taken to the hospital after complaining of difficulty breathing following a one-vehicle crash on Saturday morning, Vermont State Police said.
Patricia Hartwell, 61, of Poultney, was driving on Route 30 near Calvin Lane in Poultney in her green 2007 Saturn Ion when she drifted over the center double yellow line. Police said Hartwell told them she saw oncoming traffic and panicked, causing her to over-correct her steering and drive off the road into a ditch.
Hartwell was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the crash.

I am doing my PhD studies under the supervision of Matthias Bethge. I am working on statistical modeling of natural images and unsupervised representation learning. One goal is to develop new image models and to compare their coding performance to that of existing models. Another goal is to develop new unsupervised learning methods for time-dependent and invariant image representations.
In this project we are trying to provide good bounds on redundancy of natural images. We use conditional likelihood for providing meaningful bounds on redundancy of natural images.
Elliptically contoured distributions are generalization of the Gaussian distribution that recently successfully applied for statistical modeling of natural images. In this project I am trying to derive Maximum likelihood estimation for Elliptically Gamma distribution , etc.
In this project we applied Hierarchical ICA (a variation of projection pursuit) and mixture of elliptically contoured distributions for modeling natural image patches (Note that it outperformed the state-of-the-art methods for density modeling of natural image patches)
Our Scientific Advisory Report:
Mixture Models and Hierarchical Models of Natural Images
A talk that I gave about it:
Statistical modeling of natural images
Bernstein Conference Abstract :
Hierachical Models of Natural Images
This is the prize-winning method for shear estimation in weak gravitational lensing
Spectral Stacking: Unbiased Shear Estimation for Weak Gravitational Lensing
Implemented algorithm in Matlab
We derived an effective lossy image compression algorithm. A patent is pending about our proposed algorithm.
Some details:
Method and Device for Image Compression
This is the work that I did during my Master studies. In my Master thesis, I successfully applied this wavelet for activity detection of fMRI images.
Almost Perfect Reconstruction Filter Bank for Non-redundant, Approximately Shift-Invariant, Complex Wavelet Transforms
A code for applying wavelet transform and inverse wavelet transform for 1D, 2D or 3D signals
A 45 minute talk about the proposed method
I have become interested in causal inference, especially since it is related to the quantitative aspect of time and its relation to action and causality. I think, I will focus on this question for my next career, provided that I continue working on modern science questions.
I will use projection pursuit statistical models (An example would be deep networks) for quantitative modeling of natural images. In mathematical science, natural images are considered as two-dimensional array of numbers measured by a device exp. sensor of a ccd camera.
I think, I will be able to extend the result of my paper to fractional and steerable wavelets.
A meaningful definition for fast directional discrete cosine transform.
The image model can be used for different applications like denoising, segmentation, etc.
Extension of patent for video compression
How to use natural image models for lossless compression and how to have a scalable lossless compression
Designing meaningful combination of quantized coefficients as letters for entropy coding of image compression algorithm.
It is a second part of my Master thesis that I did not have time to publish it.
It is my Bachelor work that I did not have time to publish an improved version of it
I have some ideas to extend proposed shear estimation method for weak lensing power spectrum estimation.

"This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last."
Oscar Wilde
"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public."
Winston Churchill
"A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably."
William Penn
"Marriage is an adventure, like going to war."
G. K. Chesterton
"Adventure is worthwhile."
"We love because it's the only true adventure"
Nikki Giovanni
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature."
Helen Keller
"Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly"
"There are two sorts of romantics: those who love, and those who love the adventure of loving"
Lesley Blanch
"Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul."
