How To Cook Slow Smoke BBQ Beef Brisket with Dry Rub Seasoning
Cooking an authentic, tender Texas barbecue beef brisket is not rocket science. Anyone can do it
Our purpose is to make it fool proof.
Dry rub seasoning and "Slow and Low" cooking is the key.
We like using dry rub spice because you get a better direct taste of the meat, not taste of the marinade injection or bbq sauce. If you just want to taste the the flavor of the meat, try dry rub.
Texas Brothers BBQ Dry Rub is a long held family recipe of sugar, salt, paprika, celery, cumin, garlic, onion, black pepper and chili pepper that brings out the authentic taste of Texas-style barbecue.
All Natural. Gluten Free. No MSG.
Unlike sauce, dry rub does not need the careful attention to prevent burning or caramelizing the meat.
To show how easy it is, we've made these How-To videos. We want to give you confidence in cooking BBQ and we hope that you will try our dry rub while doing it.
Barbecue Beef Brisket Video Instructions Part 1
Try Our Dry Rub For A Dollar - includes Free Shipping
That's it.
We'll give a you pack of dry rub that covers 1 rack of pork ribs. Awesome, right?
We'll even include a 15% off coupon code off your next purchase.
How can you say no to that?

Barbecue Beef Brisket Video Instructions Part 2
One of the first cooking teams that started the Barbeque festival circuit over 20 years ago. They toured across the country to events such as Ribfest in Nappervile, IL (Chicagoland) and Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off in Reno, NV. Dale and Lee have since retired from the festival circuit. For now on, we're going to give you cooking instruction and tips so you can learn and improve you bar-b-que cooking skills.
Our 9 Steps to Make Your Next Barbecue Cookout a Success
Step One - Selecting A Beef Brisket
Pictured above is an untrimmed brisket. We use untrimmed meat since it has been our experience that the meat and fat compliment each other as the cooking process.
Step Two - Applying the Dry Rub Spice
We have rubbed half of this brisket with Texas Brothers BBQ dry rub. You can use this picture as an example of how much dry rub should be applied.
Step Three - Fully Seasoned and Ready for the Cooker
Here we have the brisket covered in rub and ready for the cooker. For the best results the brisket should be cooked fat side down. The seasoning will sink into the lean meat and enhance the flavor.
This is because the seasoning will not be able to penetrate the fatty side of the brisket.
Step Four - Smoking the Brisket
This brisket has been smoked approximately 30-45 minutes in a Southern Pride cooker.
Step Five - Finish Smoking the Meat
You're looking at the brisket still in the cooker with two hours of smoke at 300. You can do the same on your own grill or cooker and then if necessary you can move the brisket on to your oven.
Step Six - Bring on the Foil
We prefer to use a heavy duty aluminum foil to start the process of the finishing touches to a prize winning piece of meat.
Step Seven - The Secret To Tenderness is The Beer
We use about a cup of beer poured over the brisket. Be sure that the foil is cupped to prevent the juices and beer from running off. Also be careful not to spill any beer.
Step Eight - The Beer Brine
Your doctor may not approve of this but we use the old mother handful of salt method to sprinkle salt over the unwrapped, beered down, seasoned up and lovely looking piece of meat.
Step Nine - Wrapping It All Up
Here is the scrumptious final product, so good it'll have your neighbors bringing over things they hadn't even borrowed from you in the first place!
We prefer double wrapping in heavy tinfoil. You can either leave it on the cooker fat side down, or put in the oven for approximately 6 to 8 hours at around 275.
Using a meat thermometer, check to see that the inner temperature of the meat stays at around 180 to 200 for at least 2-3 hours. Slow cooking is the secret to a successful hunk of brisket.
Good Luck!

Hurricane Raymond would be the strongest Hurricane of the season in the Eastern Pacific of 2013.
Raymond began its weather life as the seventeenth Tropical Depression in the Pacific on October 19th, 2013. It quickly gained strength and became a Tropical Storm the next day.
The storm would eventually become the first major hurricane of the season by October 22nd, packing sustained winds of 125 miles per hour at its strongest point.
Despite being 100 miles from the Mexican coast as a strong hurricane, the storm was not expected to make landfall.
Despite no direct landfall, the bands of rain and wind did cause some disruptive effects to parts of the Pacific coast of Mexico. According to ENEX/AZTECA, ports were closed, classes canceled, and people evacuated because of the storm.
The storm would begin to weaken on the 23rd, but continue to cause mudslides and heavy rains on the Mexican coastline. However, the storm would claim no lives as the center moved away from Mexico.
It would weaken over the next couple of days, but become a Hurricane once more during the morning hours of October 27th. This second phase of the storm would be primarily at sea and not cause any damage or effects on land. Raymond finally came to an end on October 30th, 2013.

IT MIGHT be 50 million, or 500 million. Who can say how many lives antibiotics have saved since their discovery? What is clear is that while penicillin and its descendants were the medical miracle of the 20th century, their continued potency in the 21st is no foregone conclusion.
The dangers of allowing bacteria to evolve resistance to antibiotics, strongly voiced as far back as the 1970s, have become common knowledge. The question is whether this awareness is translating into action. The signs are not good. Too many doctors still overprescribe, and too many patients are not completing their courses. Moreover, farmers still seem to be routinely feeding antibiotics to healthy livestock - even in Europe, where this was supposed to have been largely banned.

I've realized I'm just about 1/3 of the way through and I feel as if I'm just getting started. I don't know for certain that I will get to 90 days or that I will stop at 90 days, it's just a rough estimate, but if the next two months fly by as quickly as January, this will all be finished before I know it! I don't want to think about that, it actually makes me sad. Even though it's a rare day that I don't want to sink my teeth into something, I don't feel anywhere near done yet with what I want to accomplish and experience.
Today was nice, I felt good, so good that mid-day I was running up and down the flights of stairs in our apartment while taking out the trash. Work went smoothly, I'm always working on my resistance to being in the moment with things and I really enjoyed a lot of today. The only downside was I tried several new recipes that I wasn't really a fan of but I was stuck with them. My new favorite ritual is waking up to my sweet tea and journaling and then coming home to sweet tea and blogging.
Here's a juice I made awhile back, I was going to save it for Valentines because it seemed appropriate but I had no other topic for today so here we are :) Turmeric is known for being anti-inflammatory as well as a beautiful bright color and chiogga beets are almost too beautiful to resist. You can use any sweet apple but I though the opal was nice in keeping with the pale color of this juice.
Anti-Inflammatory Pink Love Juice
1 inch turmeric
1 chiogga beet
2 oranges, peeled
1 opal apple
pinch of cayenne pinch of cinnamon
Juice produce and stir or blend in cinnamon and cayenne.

34 oz celery/bok choy/apple, 28 oz pineapple/pear/lime/watercress, 32 oz cucumber/red bell pepper/mint/jalapeño/lime, 32 oz beet/apple/ginger/lime, 32 oz carrot/chard, 2 oz wheatgrass, 24 oz blood orange juice, sweet tea.

VIDEO: Asus reveals Eee Box 1501
Asus has dropped us word of its latest Eee Box, the 1501. The Eee box series are nettops - tiny, cheap, relatively low-power machines that are designed as secondary computers (perhaps for use in a media centre setup) or for those who don't use their machine very much.
The 1501, Asus reckons, is one of the world's smallest computers that features both a dedicated Nvidia ION graphics chip (most nettops have less-powerful integrated graphics) and an optical drive for DVD playback. It can also output full 1080p from an HDMI-out port.
Elsewhere in the spec sheet, there's a dual core Intel Atom 330 processor, 2GB of memory (expandable to 4), a 250GB hard drive, 5.1 speaker support, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port. It comes with Windows 7, an upscaler and a built in IPTV player, and can be either mounted on the back of a monitor or on its stand.
The device claims to be 50% quieter than most desktop PCs, and has 70% less power consumption to boot. It measures 193 x 193 x 39mm, which is 1.5L of volume. It costs £340 and is available now.

Blimp City - Old Photo.
Hi Guyz,

i posted an extra pics of the model from the side to try and show you guyz some extra detail.
Hope you like it.

Daggeronie - Looks like a good start. After all the work you have put in to produce the sepia-tone image the tree in the foreground somewhat ruins the effect. A better tree or perhaps a modelled building would help the effect of the image.
As the model has so many large flat planes, a basic bump or dirt texture might help it look more 'real'. Are you planing to do some more work on this images, I look forward to seeing how it comes together.

Hey Guyz,
Thnx for your C&C i really appreciate it.
I did rerender the picture from a differant angle and tried a new background.
C&C always welcome ofcourse
Yeah your right, The detail in the bilmp is gone because of the angle. And i must need add dirt and bump (next on the list to do )
I hope the city is a bit more visable now, (added some lights in the city)
Thnk! Hoping to come up the the dirt/bump version soon.
June 1st, 2007 #6
I think the weight of the city would be more convincing if there was some defomation of the gas envelope and cables supporting it. I also liked the direction you were going with the cables in the wire frame, taking it in a suspension bridge direction. I think that would add to the steampunk feel of your project.

Daggeronie - Looks better with the variation in tone, it helps to define elements of the structure.
With the size of the windows in minds you might want to take care with scales in the rest of the model. The suspension cables currently have a very large diameter and the component cords are very large too – you might want to experiment with sliming the down (although at the end of the day it is mostly a matter of taste).
I know what Garyo is suggesting but I would be careful how I implemented any deformation. If it is too strong the bag may just end up looking cartoony. If it was a rigid construction gas-bag then it would be unlike to have any serious deformation but you might want to include structural detail to reflect that.

i like this, but i dont think its there yet. this has the potential to be really baddass.
if this is a whole city you need to think about different classes of people... how would the outskirts of the city work on a flying city? would there be buildings on miniature blimps being towed by chains with crazy bridges connecting them to the main city? i think somehting like that would add a bit of culture, to root it reality a bit more and also might push the whole steampunk feel.
but my biggest concern is the top platform. its so empty! if this were a real city that whole area would be covered.
maybe thats the way to do it, the "upper class" have the upper level while the lower class have the hanging city portion.
just some thoughts i had... like i said, i think this concept has great potential.
keep at it. also, your buildings are just rectangles at the moment, a few small details in them would help sell them AS buildings.

Hey guyz thnx for all the C&C, i really apriciate it.
@ Garyo:
Due to the fact of the innerstrcture of the bilmp no deformations will be seen (look at the hindenburg, it had no deformations also). But you are right on the suspension, iam looking in to it to make it more realistic
@ D-Holme:
Thnx dude, iam quite happy about the tone variation and looking for more ways to make realistic. Iam currently looking into the whole scale thing cause it is pretty off right now.
@ complete2:
Like i sad to d-holme, iam looking into the whole scale thing, and that means the top layer of the bilmp, now its just a big ass airfield (i know i know, its not clear but it is an airfield). Your idee of upperclass people on the top really gave me new ideas and iam going to work on them richt away.
Ill will keep posting updates when they are finished. Once again thnx for the C&C.

Want to be the next Woz? How to build a working Apple 1 replica
With working specimens of the original 1976 model routinely selling at auction for as much as $905,000, chances are, even the most die-hard Apple fans will never be able to own a vintage Apple 1 for themselves.

Just days after the strongest typhoon in history left 10,000 feared dead in the Philippines, the latest round of UN climate talks are getting underway in Warsaw, Poland. After the failure of the talks in Copenhagen in 2009 – when the US forced a weak, voluntary agreement on the conference – many have described these talks as zombies. The latest review of the physical science by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that although we are currently on a path to a catastrophic 5C rise in global average temperatures, it is technically still possible to avoid dangerous climate change if we switch rapidly to a low-carbon pathway. As a veteran of the UN climate talks, what does Asad Rehman, head of energy and climate at Friends of the Earth think are the prospects of a meaningful outcome at this year's talks? Phil England spoke to him for Ceasefire.
the latest IPCC report will inject a new urgency into the talks?
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman""> Well we hope so. I don't think we could have a more stark warning from the world's climate scientists about the need for urgent and ambitious action. They've also very clearly set out that to prevent catastrophic climate change by preventing a breaching of key temperature thresholds, such as the two degree level – although a hundred developing countries, most of civil society and many climate scientists believe that a 1.5 degree level is much safer and that two degrees leaves us open to much more dangerous impacts – there is a limited carbon budget and we have to live within that. So now what we have to do is turn that into real political action.
Is it the warning bell? I think we've had 25 years of warning bells. There's nothing in the report that we didn't know before. The warnings are just starker, more grave. But then on a weekly level, we see a new report come out. This week the World Meteorological Organisation issued a report that said emissions are at their highest level and are increasing. So despite the stark warnings, despite the impacts in front of our eyes, despite the testimonies of millions of people around the world, we haven't turned the corner yet.
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">PE: In terms of the power dynamics within the talks, the rich world seems to hold sway. They're obviously better resourced and can bring bigger delegations. And the EU is central to that – they seem obsessed with this idea of carbon trading as the only solution. But there are genuine solutions on the table from the Global South and civil society. What kind of things should we be doing if we want to make a difference in the time frame the IPCC is saying we actually need now?
AR: Well I think the most critical one, you're absolutely right to say, is the broken busted policy initiative, the carbon markets, which we have to step away from. There are proposals from some countries, like some ALBA countries, for a moratorium on new carbon markets to stop the headlong rush into new carbon markets even while existing ones fail. They don't reduce carbon pollution and are wide open to the problems of both double counting and handing out "permits to pollute" to big dirty industry. For example, one of the sponsors of the climate negotiations this year is ArcelorMittal, the big steel multinational, which receives about €1.6 billion worth of free "permits to pollute" from the emissions trading system – the European carbon markets system. So I think we've got to stop those. And there are real solutions on the table such as proposals on global feed-in-tariffs to finance energy transformation throughout the world. Much more concrete, more direct. Not only dealing with the climate crisis but also with the fact that over a billion people around the world don't have access to any energy at this moment. It can be a win-win for both people and the planet and from a climate perspective as well a social and economic perspective. So those are the things that many of us will be fighting for and are hoping to see some positive outcomes on.
a meeting of finance ministers in Warsaw as part of the talks. They can't just leave it to the carbon markets or private finance like they always seem to suggest, can they? We need something more.
AR: Well unfortunately that seems to be what countries like the United States and others have been proposing, that even the paltry $100 billion that was promised in Copenhagen from 2020 onwards, will come largely either from carbon markets, in the form of loans, or as private capital directly to multinationals. But this is being challenged. We need to see real solutions, like a financial transaction tax, like special drawing rights, like reducing our military expenditure. There are many different budgets and finances out there that can be redirected to ensure that we have adequate finance and that developed countries fulfil their legal as well as their moral and political obligation to help developing countries grow cleanly and face the climate impacts that are already being felt by millions if not billions of people.
we're subsidising fossil fuels to the tune of £6 for every £1 we spend subsidising renewal energy and spending over $500 billion a year globally subsidising fossil fuels. This just has to end doesn't it?
AR: Absolutely and this has been one of the demands echoing around the world over the last month. Many different organisations came together in a global month of action called Reclaim Power, which brought together Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, 350.orog, Jubilee South, Via Campesina and many others to amplify and echo a message that resonates with many different communities and struggles, which is to stop all new dirty energy projects, end tax payer handouts to dirty energy corporations and support decentralised energy systems. In terms of direct and indirect subsidies to big oil and other big fossil fuel industries, the estimates range from half a trillion to about 1.3 trillion dollars. Even here in the UK we hand out every year hundreds of millions of pounds to the oil and coal industry to continue to pollute. We give tax breaks to the fracking industry so that they can continue with their environmentally dangerous and carbon polluting processes. So those have to be stopped and we have to redirect those [funds] to renewable and safer energy systems that are going to save the planet, [as well as] help provide new green jobs for the millions of people who are facing the crisis of austerity.
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">PE: The Polish presidency seems to be shameless in its association with some of the worst polluters. They've got them all on board as sponsors this year and they're also holding a world coal conference at the same time. What are they thinking? How are we expected to get anything useful with a presidency that thinks coal is part of the solution?
AR: Absolutely and it's a very deliberate and provocative move by the Polish presidency but they, I think, are only the most visible and the most open. When you hear the Polish government openly say in their own domestic parliament and press that the reason that they want to host the COP was to ensure their political and economic interests were safeguarded, they were just being much more explicit than other developed countries. It's the equivalent of the United States saying the lifestyle of an American citizen is not up for negotiation. That's an impossibility when an American citizen is personally responsible for over 20 tonnes of CO2 [per year] while those in Africa have a footprint of less than one [tonne]. A toddler by the age of one year in New York will have emitted more CO2 than someone in Tanzania will emit in their whole lifetime. The gross inequality, inequity of our system needs to be challenged. And there are lots of very powerful figures and interests who just don't want that to happen.
So yes the Poles are being more explicit about the dirty energy sponsorship, [vested interests] are sponsoring everything from the pens, paper, water coolers, water cups, even the building itself, and they're trying to give those dirty energy corporations a much more powerful and enhanced voice in the climate negotiations. But let's not be fooled that that's something new. It's just that many corporations have been doing their dirty work behind closed doors at a national level.
But this is being challenged. The "clean coal" summit for example will become the focus of large civil society protests, with people coming together from the trade union movement, environment, development, as well as communities impacted by dirty coal all around the world simply saying, 'No, coal does not have a future,' and ensuring that the energy mix we do have for the future is clean, safe and affordable.

Looking at their schedule, youd think the Timberwolves had some kind of in with whomever in the NBA is responsible for laying out the slate of games. First the convenient five-day break at the peak of their injuries, and now this post-Thanksgiving game in Portland, the city to which so many players and coaches are connected.First and foremost, theres Rick Adelman, who played in Portland from 1970-73 and then coached the Trail Blazers from 1989-94. He still calls the area home. Same with Kevin Love, who attended high school in the Portland area, even playing alongside one of Adelmans sons at Lake Oswego High School. Brandon Roy, who didnt make the trip after knee surgery Monday, spent the first five years of his career playing for the Trail Blazers, and he grew up in nearby Seattle. In addition, Luke Ridnour is from Blaine, Wash., and attended college at the University of Oregon.The Timberwolves staff also boasts its fair share of connections to the Portland area.

Award for pair who saved Cumbrian teenager's life
Published at 11:06, Saturday, 08 December 2012
Two men who helped a teenage cyclist whose skull was so badly smashed that his brain was exposed are to receive awards.
Chris Tomlinson, 43, and James Taylor, 41, helped 16-year-old Jack Pollock, of Glenridding, until emergency services could reach the remote accident scene.
The incident happened on the Kirkstone Pass in August with the two men who came to the boy's aid now poised to collect certificates of commendation for their actions.
Mr Tomlinson, of Long Marton, near Appleby, and Mr Taylor, of Harlow, Essex, will receive the honours from the Royal Humane Society.
Society secretary Dick Wilkinson said: "These two men were faced with a horrific scene, as this young man suffered a smashed skull.
"The skin from his forehead was detached and covering his face and his brain was exposed.
"Jack had fallen off his bicycle at speed and his helmetless head hit the stone wall bordering the road several times.
"They did all they could to keep him warm, to keep his airway open and to stem his bleeding until paramedics arrived by air. They intubated the victim and flew him to hospital.
"There is little doubt though that Mr Taylor and Mr Tomlinson made the difference between life and death in their swift first aid."
Jack and another youth were cycling down the very steep pass at about 30-35mph – so fast that Mr Tomlinson, who was following in a van, could not keep up with them. Mr Taylor and his family were in a separate car coming up the hill when they came upon the accident.
Mr Wilkinson added: "Both men were quite frankly the right people in the right place at the right time and they both richly deserve the awards they are to receive."
No date has been fixed for the presentation of the awards but it is likely to be in the near future.
Jack has been recovering in hospital and at home with his family.
He has taken a year off Penrith's Ullswater Community College to get over his injuries and is due to return to classes in September.

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Secretary General Wynter Kabimba says a foreign oil company is behind the 'fictitious' evidence provided to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against him.
Mr Kabimba, who is Justice Minister, said the oil firm lost the tender to supply petroleum to Zambia despite luring him with bribes and in bitterness started fabricating stories of corruption against him to the ACC.
He said this on Wednesday night when he featured on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation's 'National Watch' programme.
"Let me talk about these so-called allegations. These are coming from a foreign company that failed to bribe me. This is the origin.
"If I am to tell the people of Zambia today, this company attempted to bribe me so that they could be given the tender but after I refused to take their bribe, they lost the tender and went ahead to write a fictitious story. So, it shows you that I didn't deal with Trafigura," he said.
Mr Kabimba, however, said ACC was still free to probe the matter and verify his report.
He said he did not want to provide the information to the ACC and hoped the commission would gather more information surrounding the case.
Mr Kabimba was recently summoned to appear at the ACC for questioning but refused to be interviewed privately, insisting that the matter was already in the public domain.
On Foreign Affairs Minister Given Lubinda's pending disciplinary hearing, Mr Kabimba said the minister, who is Kabwata Member of Parliament (MP), had responded.
He, however, could not disclose the contents of the reply but that a disciplinary committee of the central committee would deal with the matter.
"He (Mr Lubinda) has responded to charges in the letter but this process is an internal one and the next stage is that we will have to establish a disciplinary committee of the central committee to look at the issue.
"The issue will be determined by a totally independent organ of the party to hear the matter along with other matters involving colleagues who have been suspended from the Eastern Province," Mr Kabimba said.
On cadres who delivered a petition calling on Mr Lubinda to step down, Mr Kabimba said the primary organ involved in presenting the petition was merely expressing its grievances.
On enforcement of the Public Order Act being condemned by opposition parties, Mr Kabimba said the police were enforcing the law well.
He said when PF was an opposition party, it also complained about the enforcement of the Act, but the party was following the rules.
Mr Kabimba said the Government also wanted to strengthen the Office of the Auditor General.
The Auditor General's office, he said, would also audit the K1.5 billion allocated to the Office of the First Lady to promote transparency unlike was the case during the MMD tenure.

UTTER RUBBISH! A month after the Confederation of Africa Rugby put the Africa Cup on hold, the tournament has been cancelled at the semi-final stage.
The tournament has been marred by a number of controversial episodes.
The senior national rugby side had been preparing for the tournament where Morocco, Madagascar, Cameroon and Zimbabwe were expected to take part.
In the build-up to the semi-finals, the teams that hosted the qualifiers got funds that were not enough to host the tournaments, while the travelling teams received a bigger chunk of the funds.
Then, the Group B games failed to get underway in Cameroon after Uganda, Kenya and Namibia indicated that they were not able to take part in the tournament.
The three teams were arguing that the group games should have been in a central country where travel logistics would have been easier.
In early November the tournament was first put on hold with International Rugby Board indicating that none of the teams that were taking part were prepared to host, save for Morocco. But a Confederation of African Rugby board meeting on December 8 in Ghana resolved to call of the tournament and focus on the next edition of the event.
The cancellation of the tournament has brought anger and disappointment in the Zimbabwean rugby family as the Sables were hoping to get more game time.
This means the Sables will have to wait until June next year to return to competitive rugby matches following the cancellation of the Africa Cup tournament.

Madonna Inn
In the Copper Cafe, carved in the wooden arch, are the words "Let's eat and be forever happy." Decadent cakes abound.[Ryan Richards, 08/02/2014]
Dinner at the steakhouse restaurant is great fun -- a combo of Old Hollywood, the Poconos, and a crazed little girl's doll house.[Kathleen, 08/06/2011]
We've been to the Madonna Inn several times for lunch on our way to Hearst Castle and Big Sur. Everyone should visit the Inn at least once, in my opinion, even if only for lunch.
Built on a massive hillside, the brightly colored pink inn calls to you from the freeway! The main gates are spectacular and fun and once in a while you may spot a "real life unicorn" grazing in the grass alongside the main driveway. While I do not think the theme rooms are particularly the most appealing aspect about the Inn, the public bathrooms are definitely a unique and worthwhile experience. Don't forget to take your camera into the restrooms and have your picture taken in front of the men's urinal! It's a tradition![Kim, 06/08/2005]
Alex Madonna, 85, creator and owner of the Madonna Inn, San Luis Obispo, California, died April 22 of a heart attack. Madonna, a successful rancher, road builder and philanthropist, opened his unique Madonna Inn in 1958.... [05/02/2004] Complete News Story
Different indeed is the Madonna Inn. My wife and I stayed there during an unusually hot August in 1978. We stayed in the "Mountain View" room. The inn at the time was not air conditioned; but the room was somewhat comfortable. Much to our shock, after sunset the room was invaded by hundreds of crickets. A ghastly scene from a 'Bug Film'. They crawled up the walls, on the ceiling, and the floor. A call to the front desk brought a maintainance man with a can of Raid. No Good! Another call to the front desk demanding another room brought no satisfaction. We 'bugged-out' and went to another motel down the road.[Al, 04/06/2003]
An isolated incident, we presume! Many theme vacationers would consider those crickets an experiential bonus!

Eldoret Municipal Council will spend Sh8 million to light the streets of the town. Speaking yesterday during a stakeholders meeting at the Eldoret council hall, town clerk Stanslas Ondimu said the street lighting project will help curb crime and boost business. He said residents have complained of increased crime in areas that are not lit.
Most of the residents have been complaining of being attacked by criminal at night at the unlit bus stages. They have asked the council to repair the traffic lights to control the traffic flow. They said most of the people who work late are the risk of being attacked by criminals, who take advantage of the darkness. "We have lost a lot of money and personnel belongings in the hands of muggers and we even fear for our women who risk being raped," said Ann Njeri, a resident of Langas.
The residents said some of the risky bus stages include Langas, Kamukunji and Huruma, which are a haven for criminals at night. They accused the council staff of harassing motorists over parking fees. "The Sh100 we are charged as parking fees is high because the council does not offer good services to the people," said Willis Kamau, a motorist. However, Ondimu said the residents have to pay the various levies to enable the council offer services. He accused most motorists in the town of avoiding to pay the parking fees adding that it illegal to do so.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette 2012 Promo Analysis: Emily Finds Her Villain — and Her Prince(s)
Emily Maynard might be a Southern belle, but she's not afraid to use her words — including one particular four-letter word lobbed at Kalon McMahon. In the just-released three-minute long promo for The Bachelorette Season 8, the guys team up to warn Emily about the shady behavior of fellow contestant Kalon. Emily doesn't miss a beat, telling the guy to "get the f*ck out."
It's a dark moment in a season that otherwise looks straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel. While Emily seems majorly enthralled with Sean Lowe, Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Jef Holm, it's the Utah entrepreneur who seems to cause her to gush, "I really feel like he's ready to be a husband and to be a dad." Check out our scene-by-scene analysis of the preview for the season below:
0:04 — Chris Bukowski yells Emily's name in Croatia
0:07 — Emily's voice says "I want to meet my husband" while her group of potential husbands strolls down a Charlotte street in a sea of plaid
0:10 — Emily walks with her guys (who are in kilts) through a grassy field
0:12 — Emily shoots an arrow!
0:14 — Don't worry, y'all; Ricki's not home twiddling her thumbs – she's traveling the world with her mom. Here, Emily and Ricki stroll down the street in London wearing matching black coats.
0:17 — Emily, clad in a skimpy bikini, jumps into the Bermuda waters with John Wolfner and a guy who looks like Sean Lowe.
0:21 — Emily and Arie make out in Prague. She grabs the back of his neck (a recurring theme)
0:22 — Emily cuddles into Doug Clerget's shoulder on their one-on-one in Bermuda
0:23 — Emily and Ryan Bowers look out at the bright blue Bermuda seas
0:27 — Emily makes out with Jef under the Prague night sky
0:29 — Emily makes out with Sean in London, with full tongue, back-grabbing, and back scratching. It's getting real, you guys.
0:31 — Arie and Jef cheer as they win the sailing race in Bermuda. Bromance alert? Spoiler: Kalon is totally with them and on their team, which means villain Kalon makes it to Bermuda.
0:37 — Emily slow-dances with Ryan on their one-on-one in Charlotte
0:40 — Sean excitedly yells "Hello London!" from the top of their double-decker bus on his one-on-one with Emily
0:44 — Emily strolls through a courtyard with Jef, who is wearing the most adorable outfit of beige slacks and a blazer with elbow patches
0:46 — Leafy picnic with Travis Pope in Croatia
0:47 — Emily makes out with Arie again, and her voice says, "I just love being around him"
0:59 — Emily stands in front of a group of the guys and tells them, "It's time to put your money where your mouth is." Dunh dunh dunh…
1:03 — A gaggle of kids runs screaming towards the playground
1:05 — Jef catches a little girl in his arms
1:08 — In a similar flashback scene, Emily twirls Ricki in her arms on a Bermuda beach (could they be trying to tell us something?). Emily's voice says, "There is nothing more that I want than to make my family complete."
Then… THINGS GET DARK.
1:17 — Jef looks concerned, telling someone offscreen, "He was just saying things about Emily, and about Ricki." This someone? Kalon.
1:20 — Chris tells Kalon, "I don't believe half the shit you say."
1:31 — Ryan is standing, confronting Kalon. "I think you're going to need to retract that statement." The boys are banding together to protect Emily! Goosebumps.
1:34 — Jef says, "She's been through a lot and I feel like she deserves to know the truth. She should be warned about dudes like that."
1:37 — Doug tells Emily (while they're in England) "one of the guys in the house referred to Ricki as 'baggage.'"
1:46 — Emily sits down with the group of guys, points at Kalon. "Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
1:51 — Emily, pointing, yells, "Get the f*ck out!"
Back to the love journey, which is now about to get littered with man tears.
2:01 — Emily's voice says, "I didn't know it was going to hurt this bad."
2:03 — Emily's crying
2:06 — Travis is crying
2:09 — Tony is crying
2:11 — Doug is crying
Then… The princes emerge.
2:29 — Sean says, "I could step into any role," in his sweet southern drawl.
2:36 — Emily, wearing a one-sleeved royal blue dress, says, "You really restored my faith in all of this."
2:37 — Emily and Jef lay on the floor in a library. Emily's voice says, "I really feel like he's ready to be a husband and to be a dad."
2:42 — Emily and Arie are on a date at Dollywood, where Dolly Parton serenades just the two of them! Emily squeals, "Oh my god, I could die."
2:46 — Dolly tells Emily, "I've heard your story. It's very touching. I really hope you find true love."
2:54 — Em kisses Ryan again
2:56 — Emily and Jef are standing in front of a carousel. She's leaning on Jef's shoulder.
THE END! Tune in Mondays at 9:30/8:30c to catch the unfolding of this love journey.

I've been enjoying my daily glass of homemade kefir now for the past month and am very excited to share this great food with you!
Kefir (the 'ke' pronounced as in 'kettle' and 'fir' as in 'fear') is a powerhouse of good stuff for the body. Homemade has a much higher content of beneficial microflora as compared to store bought.
I want to share with you an easy way to have your own homemade kefir ready for you to consume every single day! It really doesn't take too much effort to prepare, and it is so worth it for your body.
In case you're not sure it may be worth it, here is what some say about kefir:
Kefir is the champagne of yogurt. ~ Unknown
Kefir contains 30 – 35 major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found inyogurt, kefir is a turbo charged energy-anti-biotic-colonic cleanser drink. ~ Donna Schwenk, Cultured Food Life
Kefir is one of my top healing foods! ~ Antonio Marxuach, former vegan-turned omnivore, recovered from Crohn's on GAPS Diet x2 years
Kefir, because it is such an easily digested nutritious food, is ideal for infants, pregnantwomen, nursing mothers, convalescents, the elderly, people who suffer from constipationor those who have other abnormal digestive activity. ~ Dr, Steven Novil, Ph.D. (National Kefir Association)
Constipation is a thing of the past. If you drink Kefir at night no acid reflux. ~ Donna Schwenk, Cultured Food Life
First, let me explain a little bit about what kefir is. Then we'll jump into the steps you can take now to get ready to make your own homemade kefir.
What is Kefir?
- a fermented milk beverage, much like a drinkable yogurt – tart, fizzy and slightly alcoholic (1%), loaded with probiotics (good bacteria to support your immune system), B vitamins, protein, calcium, fiber, and amino acids
- "Grains of the Prophet" Mohammed
- made from 'kefir grains', which are a symbiotic mixture of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, polysaccharides, and proteins, the matrix resembling pieces of cauliflower of various sizes
- believed to be the reason for longevity in cultures where it was widely consumed for centuries – the Russian Caucasus Mountain people lifespan exceeds 110 years of age, which is primarily because of kefir consumption
- self-perpetuating grains increase in size over time, allowing for excess to be shared with others
NOTE: You may also use water kefir grains, but my personal preference is milk kefir. Check the resources I have provided below for more information about water kefir.
Getting Started
- Purchase your kefir grains or find someone who can give you some of their excess grains. (I purchased my milk kefir grain kit here.)
- Purchase (if necessary) glass jars (32 oz are great!) to use — you'll want to have at least 4-6 of these on hand or at least plenty of other glass jars. I also recycle my large glass jars and bottles for kefir storing. I love my 80 oz. recycled raw honey jar for storing kefir in the fridge during the week as I keep producing more along the way.
- Purchase a tightly woven cheesecloth to cover the jar with (I use a rubber band to hold it in place).
- Purchase the milk product you will use to make your kefir. Preferred is raw milk. Where raw milk is illegal or difficult to obtain, try to find the best source of low heat pasturized and non-homogenized <em>organic, whole (full fat) milk. I use the Kalona brand that I get at my local Whole Foods Market.
- Now the fun part — once the grains have arrived, you are ready to add your grains to the milk as per packet instructions. I first used one cup of milk to the initial packet of grains that I received from Cultures for Health. After 4 weeks, my grains have almost tripled in size (they are still mostly small, but I have about one tablespoon in volume). Stir to mix the grains well with the liquid.
- Cover your glass jar with cheesecloth, secure well, and allow to ferment at room temperature for 24 hours (and up to 36), stirring the mixture 2-3 times during the 24-hour period is recommended.
- Using the provided strainer (in the milk kefir kit) or one you purchase separately (ensuring it is not metal — you do not want metal to come into contact with your grains), strain the kefir into a clean glass jar by pouring the contents through the strainer, using a wooden spoon to gently push through the liquid. You will separate the grains, which at first may seem tricky. In my experience, the grains were difficult to differentiate from the curds (they appear cottage-cheese-like). Allow yourself to place your clean fingers in the contents of the strainer and feel the difference between the curds and the grains. You can find the grains because of their slightly hard, rubbery texture. I set these aside in another clean 32 oz. jar. Notice the creamy kefir collecting on the underside of the strainer as you strain and periodically scrape it and allow it to fall into your jar of kefir. Once this is mixed into the liquid, it becomes nice and creamy textured.
- Reserve your strained kefir for consumption. Add fresh milk to the clean jar with kefir grains and start the process all over again!
NOTES: I do this each day in the morning as part of my normal routine now. It takes only 10 minutes each day and is well worth it! I save money by making it at home vs. buying at store, it is much higher quality due to greater number of beneficial microflora vs. store bought, it replaces the need to purchase a probiotic supplement, and it is a wonderful health tonic. If you want to store your kefir grains and not make any more right away, place them in a jar with fresh milk to cover well and keep in refrigerator until ready to use again. You may also dehydrate them and store for future use or to give away.
I believe you have enough to get started from here, but be sure to check out these other great websites and resources to learn more about making kefir, health benefits, the history, and more.
Here is my favorite recipe for our kefir smoothie:
Strawberry Banana Kefir Smoothie
Place hot water in cup and stir in the gelatin. Stir to mix well until dissolved and set aside for about 5 minutes. Add kefir to blender with desired sweetener, vanilla, and gelatin mixture. Blend to mix well. Add frozen banana and strawberries. Blend for about 2 minutes. Serve in glasses. This yields about 6 cups!
Optional ingredients: cocoa, coconut oil, raw egg yolk (pastured eggs from a trusted source).
As promised, below are several great resources for you as you learn more about kefir and for once you decide to accept my challenge to introduce it into your life!
Here is where I purchased my milk kefir grains kit (only $21.99): Cultures for Health
My favorite go-to kefir (and other ferments) website: Cultured Food Life by Donna Schwenk
The kefir guru: Dom in Australia Sidenote: funny thing… I first learned of kefir in my own research several years ago, but I was not yet at the point in my journey that I could really grasp it or wrap my head around it. This has been a frequent occurrence for me as I've traveled this natural health journey of my own for the past 35 years (since my teen years)… yes that does age me. I am in great health for a 53-year old grandmother!
The Probiotic Revolution document has great information to explain what probiotics are, why they are important, etc.
I really hope that I've inspired you to give kefir a try — I am convinced that daily consumption of kefir is what will help me to support a healthy immune system and much more!
Let me know about your experience with kefir! How long have you been consuming kefir? What great benefits have you seen with consumption of kefir? What is your favorite kefir recipe?
What I'd like to do is to have you share your own kefir story here on my blog with a guest post after you start making it yourself. I'd love to see great recipe ideas, creative ideas to make the best use of your kefir, etc.
Please share this post with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, too! Let me know if you'd like to share a guest post about your own kefir experience.

IT Expert Witness
What would qualify as an expert witness? I am currently a defendant in a civil case revolving around IT allegations. Would I be able to use myself as an expert witness? I am not certified in computer forensics. I do however have 12 years experience in the IT field and a degree in computer science. I am also a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Virtualization Certified Professional (VCP), CompTIA Network Plus and CompTIA Security Plus certified.

Are you representing yourself?
I have no idea whether you would clear the hurdles required to qualify as an expert, but even if you did, trying to act as your own expert witness would not be a great idea. You want your expert witness to be a person whom the finder of fact will believe to be unbiased. There is no way your testimony would be seen as anything but self-serving.
You are, of course, free to testify, and you can push the technical portion of that as far as the Court will allow, but you should engage an "independent" expert witness.

Home Schooling Curriculum Key Points
Apr 27, 2012 Home Schooling
It is important to realize that there are no perfect curriculum out there. You will have to go through a period of trial and error until you find one that seems to work the best for you. In fact, most people do go through a period of time where they are switching from one curriculum to another, because they are unsure which is the better fit for the child and for the parent. But, it is important to avoid too many switches. If something is really wrong or not working, do look elsewhere. But, for the most part, unless there is some specific reason, you should stick with the program you have selected. This will give your student the best opportunity to learn because of the continuity.
Also, do not feel like you have to purchase the most expensive products on the market. You do not have to spend a lot of money to get a high quality curriculum for your home schooling. Rather, what you may want to focus on is choosing a program that you can really get behind and believe in. There are excellent sources for information and planning.
- Visit the local library: you will find books to teach just about every topic that you want to cover there.
- Use the local historical society for history lessons and educational information for social studies and sciences.
- Do not overlook museums who work for many aspects of education from science to history to art and health.
Many of these organizations have programs for home schooling parents, too, which means they will work hand in hand with you to meet your child's specific goals and needs.
Also, do not turn away older curriculums that you may be given by other parents or from associations you begin to be part of. The fact is, curriculums that were used last year or the year before are still well worth using today. Some parents will pass down the curriculums within the family and they may even use them several times with several children.
On the other hand, do not be fooled into believing that what your friend, family member or someone else is using is going to be the right choice for you. This is not always the case and in some situations, trying to use someone else's product is just not going to work for your child. The same goes for within the family unit. The curriculum used by your oldest child may not work well for your youngest, simply because of the different needs and learning systems that are in place from one child to the next.
Home Schooling Conferences
While later on we will mention some more specifics on this topic, it is important to point out now that home schooling conferences are one of the best ways to learn more about the curriculum options available for your child. Many times, parents will attend these conferences and come back with a wealth of tools, samples and even full curriculums that they love because of the unique approaches available to them.
It is always a good idea to visit these home schooling conferences or special events whenever they are available within your city or state. Many people will find that they can get lots of options to consider. More so, one of the best things about these programs is that you can easily browse through the curriculum on your own, in your hands, before you purchase anything. That way, you can see exactly how it is structured and what it has to offer to you.
Most of the time, you will also find that these conferences will offer a wealth of support and guidance to the home schooling family to use. If your family is new to home schooling, these groups are an ideal place to visit. You will find outstanding inspirational speakers who can help you to feel good about the hard work it takes to home school. And, in some cases, you can even find good home schooling curriculum products available for sale that are used or older models. So, yes, you can save money on these as well!
Online Resources
Now that you have a good idea of what it takes to purchase a home schooling curriculum, what if you decide you do not want to go through that process and instead want something that is a bit more "free."
The good news is that there are some excellent programs available to you online. You will find a range of products to select from, but it is always important to use good judgment with free products found online.
- Does this product actually help my child to achieve their goals?
- Who is promoting this product?
- Does it incorporate my beliefs and my teaching preferences?
- Is it valuable enough to invest my child's time into it?
- Is this the best product for my son or daughter?
The good news is that there are some excellent products available to help parents that are well worth your time. As long as you ask those questions, you are sure to find yourself in a wonderful position.
Online, you will find free home schooling curriculums available to you. Some of these products are a good choice, but you will want to investigate them thoroughly.
Programs include the Arthur Teacher Guides, Building a School Website, and Manatee Education Materials.
You will find a range of printable items available online, too. These can be activities that help to reinforce what you wish your child to learn through worksheet style programs, arts and crafts or simply educational packages.
In some situations you can find educational kits that are free to home schoolers. These may contain things like lesson plans, copymasters and videos that you can use. A good source for these is your local State Farm Agent, for example, because they provide these free products to area schools.
Reviews: A Top Choice
Now that you can see just how many options in home schooling curriculums are available, take into consideration which is right for your child. Still not sure, which one is a good fit? That is not surprising since there are so many options to choose from.
One way that you can choose the best curriculum is by investing some time reading reviews from other users. Be sure that the website or other source you use for this information is providing you with the most authentic and actual user reviews and feedback since anything else is not going to provide you the best overall information.
Reviews are helpful, when they are authentic, because they give you a sense of what it will be like to actually use the program with your child. They can help you to see common flaws or high points of any program. This gives you an inside peak into what it is like to use this particular program, or that one.
Take the time to consider your options carefully here. It is critical that you invest in a home schooling program that is an ideal match for your child. Reviews, opinions and even hands on looking through these programs can help you to find the one that is right for your specific needs. More so, you may wish to choose a different curriculum for each subject or just select one that teaches everything your child needs to know.

Eenhana — The fast growing and capital town of Ohangwena region, Eenhana often referred to as "the green town" will be hosting the Miss Little Eenhana beauty pageant completion this month end.
The beauty pageant, which will be celebrating its second year anniversary, is aimed at motivating kids aged between four to eight years to showcase their modeling talents and to open up their minds to the modeling industry. Apart from that the event will bring along different families from various cultural backgrounds with their little girls to compete for the beauty completion. According to the organiser of the competition, Shino Ndevapwa, from the Faith Media and Information Technology Solutions as organizers of Miss Little beauty pageant, the little girls from the Ohangwena region will compete for five prizes and categories, which are Miss Little Eenhana and her first and second princess, Miss Personality and Miss Photogenic.
"This is our second year we are hosting this event and have rectified our mistakes since we launched this Miss Little beauty pageant last year.
Therefore, we are advising and encouraging the Ohangwena community to bring along their little girls so that they can compete as beauty pageants in Eenhana town," he says
He explained to Art Life that the motive behind the beauty pageant is to motivate female kids to follow up on their dreams to become one of Miss Namibia in the future years.
"Modeling is a big business every way in the world and we are here in this small town to educate and inform them on how important the modeling business is very important both to the government and the world at large," he says
Last year, the event was sponsored by the Ohangwena Regional Council, Standard Bank, Bank Windhoek and other business individuals in Eenhana.
"The Town Council and Her Worship the Mayor, Julia Ndeyapo Shikongo, the Governor Usko Nghaamwa and other councilors in the Ohangwena Region will also grace this annual occasion.
The 2013 event will be bigger and better as we have solicited some corporate stakeholders to sponsor the event," says Annakie Haufiku, a partner to Faith Media Information Technology Solutions. The last year's event saw nine final contestants competing in five categories. Miss Little Eenhana was won by the now eight year old Josephine Shapopi who is in Grade 3 this year at Paulus Hamutenya Primary School, while Eunike Shapwa and Ndatunga Neumbo all from Mouwa English kindergarten were crowned first princess and second princess respectively. The 2012 Eenhana Miss Personality went to the now eight year old Rauna Kashululu, while Emmelda Haihambo scooped the Miss Photogenic prize. They are all from Mouwa English Kindergarten.
"As usual, the event will be held at Ndilimani Complex in Eenhana town and we expect the Ohangwena region parents to cooperate with our rules and regulations for the completion unlike last year," Annakie Haufiku says.

Pizza Peel Anatomy
1 Attachment(s)
We have started selling the "top-of-the-line" pizza peels from our producer. It is the perforated, rectangular aluminum placing peel. Very cool. I keep one in the office just to show people, and everyone loves handling it.
I am attaching a graphic that shows why it is such a nice peel.
do you find it works well for sliding the pizza in? i would be worried about it catching on the perforations?
Prices? Packages?
These premium tools look really nice. I can't find the prices on the site. Are you offering a package, with the peel, turner, etc?
The tools are here:
And the entire set is here (though the set does not include the perferated peel). Maybe we should add that.
Re: Pizza Peel Anatomy
I have not used one with the perforations or the ovular handle. I REALLY like the idea of the ovular handle and think it would be great for pulling large pizzas out with out worrying about having the peel spin in your hand and dropping the pie. I have had that happen with a large overtopped pizza and a slick round wooden handle. It's disappointing when that happens.
I've always made the pizza on a board and turned and pulled the pizza with an aluminum peel. The perforations may even help a little if you have to spin the pizza in the oven if it is cooking faster on one side than the other.
