Chatham, MA (PRWEB) September 12, 2013
Labor Day weekend and the first few days of September have proven to be wet and stormy for Central and Eastern Massachusetts. As a result, flash flood warnings have been issued repeatedly for most of the state, reported the Boston Globe on September 2, 2013. Between the humidity, the wind gusts, hail and heavy rain, homeowners have had their hands full. Flooding can be dangerous for all homeowners, particularly those in flood zones.
According to FEMA, flooding is the number one natural disaster in the United States. Since much of Massachusetts is in a flood hazard zone, homeowners and residents alike are urged to be prepared. This preparation is two-fold:
1. Be prepared with the proper insurance coverage – including flood insurance.
2. Be prepared with proper home upgrades and improvements.
Fortunately, the local agents at Eldredge & Lumpkin Insurance Agency have advice for homeowners looking to prepare on both fronts. First things first, the agents urge homeowners to have a proper understanding of flood insurance, flood zones and a home's risk.
Homeowners concerned about flooding or in a disaster zone as a result of weather patterns such as the weather Massachusetts has been experiencing are urged to contact the local agents at Eldredge & Lumpkin Insurance Agency to learn more about flood insurance. Additionally, the agency recommends some homeowner preparation in terms of upgrades and improvements:
It is also important to be prepared, as with any emergency situation, for power loss and electrical damage. Battery powered radios are great for disaster situations and having enough drinking water is at the top of the natural disaster preparation list. Any Massachusetts residents seeking more advice about flood insurance can call Eldredge & Lumpkin Insurance Agency at 888-665-2408.

'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
My guess would be that you don't have the development libraries installed
(if you're getting messages like "stdlib.h: no such file", this is
definitely the problem). I seem to recall that my gcc under Mandrake
problems were solved when I installed the package "kernel-headers", and
whatever other packages that package required. Another way to deal with
this (if you haven't quite "moved in" to your current installation) would be
to reinstall and select the "Development" installation class (if that still
exists in Mandrake 8.1).
Good luck,

DURHAM- The Blue Devils wrapped up their spring practice on Saturday with the annual Spring Game in Wallace Wade Stadium. Head Coach David Cutcliffe was pleased with several of the individual efforts he saw on Saturday and throughout the course of spring practice. Coach Cut addressed the media shortly after the scrimmage and gave his thoughts on the game.

Duke remains hot on the recruiting trail, adds a commitment from hard-hitting Virginia S Jake Kite
The Blue Devils are officially on a roll in the class of 2013, picking up their 4th commitment over the past two weeks in safety Jake Kite. Kite is a 6'1" 180 pound hard-hitter out of Roanoke, Virginia. The Blue Devils beat out in-state ACC rival NC State for Jake, the son of Chris Kite, a former UVA defensive back. Duke was the first school to extend a scholarship offer and made a strong impression on a visit earlier this spring. Kite was on hand for Duke's Spring Game this weekend, and decided to make his pledge to Coach Cutcliffe and the Blue Devils. After his junior season at Hidden Valley HS in which he totaled 149 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 5 interceptions, Kite was named Regional Player of the Year and 1st Team All-State. He runs a 4.5 second 40-yard dash and the Blue Devils hope he'll become a star in Coach Knowles 4-2-5 defense.
Coach Cutcliffe addresses the media before Duke Spring Game
Here are three videos from today's Duke Football press conference as Spring Football winds down in Durham. The annual Spring Football Game is tomorrow at 1:00 in Wallace Wade Stadium and it is open and free to the general public. Coach Cutcliffe is up first, the next vids are of defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.
BDN Football Friday: Spring Game Preview
Are you ready for some football, Blue Devil Nation? Saturday afternoon will be your last chance until September 1st to see some Duke Football, so get your fill. The Blue Devils will take to the field on Saturday at 1PM in Wallace Wade Stadium for their annual spring game. BDN's Football Friday is here for your preview.
First of all, highs in the upper 70s, with a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms. Should be a perfect spring day for some football if the rains miss the Methodist Flats. That also means a perfect day for some tailgating. Get there early, as the team will conduct the Blue Devil Walk at 11:00 AM. Team BDN will be there in full force, so be sure to say hi. Here's the information on the parking situation. Bring your wallets, even though admission is free (stadium gates open at 11:15), as there will be plenty of opportunities to get your Blue Devil gear, as well as stuff your face with Chick-fil-a, Domino's, and Blue Devil Concessions. Oh, and the most important reason to bring your wallet is to purchase your 2012 season tickets. Ticket office reps will be on hand and help you pick your exact seats. Try before you buy. The game kicks off at 1PM and Coach Cutcliffe will address the crowd during halftime of the scrimmage. Spring practice awards will also be announced at halftime.
Scouting the Blue Devil Offense
The Duke offense will feature a number of familiar faces, but it's likely to be the unfamiliar ones who will make an impression on Saturday. We all know what Conner Vernon is capable of at wide receiver, but as he's been limited due to injury this spring, expect to see a lot of Blair Holliday and Jamison Crowder, both of whom have had very strong spring performances. Nick Hill is another young face who appears ready to contribute, and Corey Gattis and Tyree Watkins add a veteran presence to the receiving corps. With Jack Farrell and Braxton Deaver sidelined with injuries, the Blue Devils had concerns at wide receiver heading into spring practice. Coming out of spring practice, tight end is no longer a concern, and you'll likely see why as Issac Blakeney and David Reeves are sure to impress.
Up front, the Duke offensive line returns all but graduating senior Kyle Hill, and that continuity should benefit the Blue Devil offense. This group has improved each year under Coach Cutcliffe, and they're looking to take a big step forward this fall under new OL Coach John Latina. Expect to see a few holes opened for the likes of the now healthy Josh Snead and last year's leading rusher Juwan Thompson, who have seen the majority of carries with senior Desmond Scott nursing injury. If that trio isn't impressive enough for you, the Blue Devils will add two more big-time running backs in just a few months, as Jela Duncan and Shaquille Powell will push for early playing time.
Am I forgetting something? Ah, yes, quarterback. While Peyton Manning had been a fixture in the Duke practice facilities this offseason, he will not be taking snaps under center for the Blue Devils on Saturday. Sean Renfree remains entrenched as the starter, and he's had yet another good spring running the Duke offense. While much of spring practice is situational, Renfree has shown the ability to get the ball downfield, averaging 15.7 yards per completion in the last scrimmage. But Renfree's old news, right? Coach Cutcliffe and the Duke staff have been looking at ways to get guys like Brandon Connette and Anthony Boone more involved in the offense, and they've done well with running the ball and catching the ball in some unique schemes. But don't get too excited. Knowing the Duke coaching staff, the Blue Devils are unlikely to show off anything particularly new or exciting on Saturday, so we'll all just have to wait until the fall. Expect to see Connette, Boone, and freshman Thomas Sirk take several snaps under center in relief of Renfree; all have taken big steps forward in their command of the offense this spring.
Scouting the Blue Devil Defense
Somehow, it seems that Duke has had a perpetually young defense the past few years, and that remain the case this spring, though they are overall more experienced. The losses of Matt Daniels and Charlie Hatcher will be the biggest voids to fill, and there are a number of candidates looking to contribute. Up front, Duke will be without their top pass-rushers Saturday in Kenny Anunike and Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo, but will feature much of the same group of athletic ends we saw a year ago, led by Justin Foxx, Dezmond Johnson, and Jamal Wallace. Sydney Sarmiento, Jamal Bruce, and Nick Sink are likely to see the majority of time on the inside up front. The defensive line continues to improve under Coach Petri and has the benefit of going up against a big and experienced offensive line in practice.
At linebacker, the Blue Devils will be without Kelby Brown for the foreseeable future, but expect sophomore David Helton to continue to impress. The redshirt is off for Kelby's younger, but bigger, brother Kyler, and it appears that a nose for the football is in their genes. Austin Gamble is the lone upperclassman, though sophomores C.J. France and Jon Woodruff have some experience. And before you get down on the Blue Devil linebackers, keep in mind that stud recruits Keilin Rayner and Deion Williams will be on campus in just a few months.
Coach Knowles' 4-2-5 scheme relies heavily on the secondary, and the emergence of Ross Cockrell as a shutdown corner is key. He'll be joined by senior Lee Butler at cornerback, though youngsters Jared Boyd and Tim Burton will see time. The leader of the secondary this year is most likely to be leading returning tackler Walt Canty, though hard-hitting Jordon Byas has also turned some heads with August Campbell sidelined this spring. Newcomers to look for at safety include the hard-working Chris Tavarez, Britton Grier, transfer Jeremy Cash, and former WR Brandon Braxton. All should see snaps on Saturday and overall, this group has some of the best playmakers on the defensive side.
Scouting the Blue Devil Special Teams
Will Monday. That's about all you need to know. With Will Snyderwine and Alex King now graduated, Monday has handled all of the punting and kicking duties this spring, and handled them well. By the fall, incoming freshman Ross Martin may challenge him for the placekicking duties, but expect to see Monday handle the punting for the next four years in Durham. On the return side, Jamison Crowder remains the Blue Devils' top threat, but he'll be joined by incoming freshman DeVon Edwards this fall, who took more than a few kicks to the house during his high school career. In all likelihood, getting to see Monday punt and kick should be a refreshing sight for Blue Devil fans and the only real highlight on special teams Saturday.
Recruiting still sizzling
Who are all those people with lanyards and nametags? That would be the dozens of high school prospects and their families who will be on campus this weekend to take in the Blue Devil program. Several members of the Duke class of 2012 will be on hand Saturday, and they'll be joined by a huge group of future prospects. With 3 commitments already on board in 2013, the coaching staff is flying high on the trail and will have in some of their top targets in this class, including a handful considered among the nation's elite. Coach Cutcliffe and his staff work on recruiting every single day, and this weekend will be no exception. And just like the staff, we follow the recruiting trail here at BDN, so be sure to check out some of our recent interviews with the likes of TE Nathan Marcus, and OL Sterling Korona, and of course lots more to come. Don't be surprised if the Blue Devils hear more good news by the end of this weekend.
In case you haven't figured it out already, Blue Devil Nation is the place to be for Duke Football fans. We cover the team year-round, and would love to have you join our growing BDN Premium community. We can't wait to see you all in Wallace Wade Stadium this Saturday. WE ARE DUKE.
Duke makes a strong impression on Illinois TE Nathan Marcus
The Blue Devils have had a lot of success throwing the ball under Coach Cutcliffe and his spread offense over the past few seasons, including at the tight end position. With the graduation of Cooper Helfet, Duke hopes that their young tight ends Issac Blakeney and David Reeves will be able to help fill the void this fall, but the coaching staff continues to look towards the future on the recruiting trail.
One tight end prospect has recently caught the attention of the Blue Devil coaches, and was extended a verbal scholarship offer on a visit to Durham last weekend. Nathan Marcus is a 6'5" 220 pound tight end from Glen Ellyn, Illinois. After leading Glenbard West to a 10-1 record as a junior and receiving All-Conference and Academic All-State honors, Marcus has seen his recruitment take off this spring, collecting scholarship offers from Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Northwestern, Toledo, and Wake Forest, along with interest from several other schools, including Illinois and Vanderbilt. The Blue Devils hosted Marcus on an unofficial visit this past weekend, and hope he'll become the next big pass-catching tight end in their spread offense. [private]
BDN: How would you describe your strengths as a player?
I'm mostly a wide receiver-type tight end. I like to get out in space and catch the ball, but I've also been used as a tackle for the youth football team, so I'm comfortable on the line and split out.
BDN: What are you working on this offseason and what do you hope to accomplish this fall?
Winning a state title, obviously. But personally, I'd like to see the ball more in the air and catch it and work on my blocking, trying to become a more well-rounded tight end.
BDN: As you approach your college decision, what are the most important things you are looking for in a school?
Definitely being able to compete football-wise, and then off the field, academically, because once the football ends, I'd like to be able to have a good job and have a degree from a very good school.
BDN: Which schools have you been hearing the most from and where do you stand with offers?
Who has been contacting me most would be like Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Illinois, those are like the main three, and also Boston College. Now, once I've visited Duke and Wake Forest, they've both offered me and I'm pretty liked with them too.
BDN: Which schools have you had a chance to visit?
I went to Duke and Wake Forest and now I'm at Vanderbilt right now. I really liked both Duke and Wake [Forest], they're pretty similar. I'm not really sure if I'm going to see any more [schools], because they're both pretty high up there and I'm probably going to make my decision sometime soon, maybe late summer or early fall, I'll decide what school I'm going to commit to.
BDN: What was it that stood out to you about Duke and Wake Forest?
They're both pretty high-powered offensive programs, so you've got to like that as a tight end, and they both pass the ball pretty well, so you've got to like that as a tight end that likes to catch the ball. I really liked their academics, and it's kind of good to get away from Chicago and the snowy weather.
BDN: Thanks a lot, Nathan, and best of luck.
Thank you, it was nice meeting you.
Brandon Braxton updates BDN on his transition to safety
The goal this offseason has been on finding the "best 22" players to put on the field for the Blue Devils. Inevitably, this forces the Duke coaching staff to make some creative and difficult decisions to realize this goal. One of the most prominent changes this spring has involved Brandon Braxton, a once promising wide receiver who has selflessly made the switch to safety. Braxton's strong play on special teams the past two seasons exemplified some of his potential as a defender and tackler, but the learning curve for Coach Knowles' defense is steep. BDN caught up with Brandon after spring practice last week to get an update on his transition.
BDN: How did the decision to switch positions come about?
I had originally heard through the grapevine that they were switching me to defense. I gave Coach Cut a call and went and met with him, and it wasn't for sure or anything at that point, and he said that they had been thinking about it. I told him I would be willing to switch if they thought that would improve our team, and I ended up switching and so far I like it a lot.
BDN: How do you feel your skill set fits on the defensive side of the ball?
I like the defensive side of the ball because it allows me to react instead of having a set play, so I definitely like that about defense. I also just like flying around and reading, so that's probably my favorite part about defense.
BDN: You've played quite a bit on special teams over the past two seasons, so you've had some experience with tackling, but what have you found to be the hardest adjustment to playing defense so far this spring?
There really hasn't been any really hard thing to pick up, but just learning the defense and knowing checks and seeing different things. Just being comfortable at safety is definitely a huge change from what I have been doing and what I'm used to. I feel like I'm a freshman all over again, learning a whole new system and getting back in the swing of things of college football. I haven't played defense since junior year of high school, but so far I'm picking it up really fast and feel like every day I'm progressing.
BDN: Now that you're on the other side of the ball, who's the toughest receiver to matchup with in practice?
All of them are really good, honestly. Blair Holliday has been playing great. Jamison [Crowder] has been playing really good. Conner [Vernon], everyone already knows that Conner is a stud. Nick Hill is a new and upcoming redshirt-freshman and he's been playing really good. All of them, really, there isn't one that I can pinpoint that's super difficult, they all have different attributes and different things that they bring to the wide receiver.
BDN: You may feel like a freshman all over again, but you're actually entering your third year with the program. What's your assessment of the team this spring, compared to when you first arrived at Duke?
This spring, well I've only been through two springs, but there was such a period when losing was acceptable, and I think that that whole air and people that were here when that was happening is gone. My teammates now don't accept losing as an option. That's the biggest thing that I've seen. We've all been working really hard and the coaches have been pushing us, and we're all up to the challenge.
BDN: The secondary is obviously a key to Coach Knowles' defense. Can you talk a little about some of the players that have impressed you and helped you make your transition?
All of them – Walt [Canty], Jordon [Byas], Anthony Young-Wiseman, they're all veterans and they've all been here awhile. Ross Cockrell, we're usually on the same side, and he's been helping me a lot and he's progressed immensely at the corner position. He's turned into one heck of a cornerback. They've all done their part in helping me pick it up faster and teaching me tricks of the trade and making sure I do well.
BDN: Thanks a lot, Brandon, and best of luck this spring.
Alright, Patrick, thank you so much.

My husband and I are both active and have physically demanding jobs.
That being said I bought this for my husband in hopes it would ease his leg pain.
First night he used it his legs felt amazing. I myself have aching feet and legs which become restless and I in turn lose lots is sleep, I used them the night after my husband, aches, pain and restlessness went away immediately. This product helps with recovery so the next time we went hard in our legs it wasn't so bad, and recovering from it wasn't too bad either. I definitely recommend this product to anyone with similar complaints, it worked for us!

After suffering a DVT several years ago, compression stockings are a must. This product was purchased based on the calf size that I should be rather than the larger size of the calf at the time of purchase. After using these for several weeks, I can report that I am very pleased with the compression and quality of these socks and plan to purchase an additional pair.

LoneStar's 2nd Annual 4th o' July in Terlingua
View Single Post
Joined: Dec 2006
Location: Texas Hill Country, Zip Code EIEIO
Oddometer: 1,211
I slept great and awoke to the sun just peaking over the Chisos and skimming the Ghost Town.
Sunrise on El Dorado
Firebase Tequila - dwelling of last night's rocketeers
The old graveyard in the light of day
After snapping a few pics I started the bike and made a circle through the town and over to Roger's place. He was gone of course but I surveyed his little bit of heaven and then motored on over to Kathy's for coffee and conversation.
The usual crew was there including my friend Ray whom we'd met last year. His wife Winnie wasn't there but it was a good time listening to the local gossip and humor. Of local interest was the construction of a new "justice center" which was combining DPS, the local sheriff's office and EMS. They weren't too happy about it since it was bringing state troopers directly into the town and they weren't looking forward to a continuous stream of rookie troopers who'd be trying to make a name for themselves. As Ray said, the sheriff's know the folks and have to live with them, but the troopers...
Kathy was busy serving great breakfast and prepping for the parade later in the afternoon. It wasn't long before I was starting to sweat and knew it was time to get moving. Said my goodbye's and motored back the motel to finish up the ride report before loading up and heading over to the Ghost Town Cafe for breakfast. I normally eat at Kathy's but needed a comfortable place to upload pics and the cafe had a/c and wifi.
If pigs could fly
The ladies working there ogled the bike outside and said it was "pretty" and the owner told me how she used to ride a custom chopper before having to sell it from an injury. The waitress and cook were arguing over music until one of them went to her truck and produced a cd for the cook. I ate a breakfast of biscuits and gravy to the muffled sounds of reggae from the kitchen while the photos uploaded for the report.
Four or five party-ers stumbled into the restaurant with obvious hangovers from the night before and ordered lunch. One turned to me and asked if I was the guy they'd almost hit with the rocket the night before. I laughed and said "yes" and they apologized, saying the bottle fell over right when they lit it... I told them it was fine and I'd spent many nights shooting bottle rockets at cars myself. The girl with them said they freaked when they saw me stop the bike at the cemetery right after the rocket went past and figured I was calling the sheriff. Too funny.
I headed up to the porch afterwards to snag a "Viva Terlingua" bumper sticker since my other one is now in Montana. Conversation on the porch centered on the terrible humidity since it had rained a couple of times... I was thinking WHAT humidity????
Terlingua S.W.A.T. team weapons locker
Doug loadin' his Lone Star
We watched a thunder head forming over the Chisos basin and they were hoping it would head towards town. I was planning on riding up to the basin and the rain shower looked great to me. Nothing like a little cool rain in the middle of 105 degrees. I knew the basin would be much cooler and I hadn't been up there in a while.
Main discussion centered on the two spikes protruding through the roof of the cloud... they'd shoot upwards and disappear and then do it all over again
Very little traffic and people at this time of year and today was no exception as I rode into the park from the west entrance.
I watched as the rain cloud moved north from the Chisos and it looked like I'd miss it. Darn. I was looking to cool down. Eventually the road wound it's way around until it looked like I'd be hitting it after all. Woohoo!
As I crested a rise, I began to doubt my desire to get wet. Ahead there was a solid white wall of rain coming straight at me, so dense you couldn't see through it. Crap. Just as I saw it, 4 cars came out of the white wall with headlights on, wipers going and worst of all, traveling at 70 mph in the 45 mph speed zone. They raced past me and I could see the debris from high winds blowing in front of the deluge and it was coming fast.
There wasn't time to stop and suit up and so I did a fast u-turn right as the biggest drops of rain began thumping me hard. I nailed it and outraced the deluge until I caught up to the cars and slowed a little. It looked clear down towards Santa Elaina Canyon so I motored up Ross Maxwell drive to Sotol Vista. I stopped to take a pic or two and the rain racer cars had just pulled in. As I stood looking over the valley, I overheard one of the ladies saying "Oh my God, I felt so bad for that poor guy on the bike. He had no idea what he was riding into! I hope he's ok". Eventually they realized it was me and that I'd turned after them. She began telling me how bad the storm was and said the wind was whipping from three directions and the rain was torrential. She was glad I hadn't ridden into it. Me too honey.
From there I rode on down to Castolon and got more water and a can of Jumex banana/strawberry nectar. While there, a man and woman with British accents came over to look at the bike and talk shop. The guy had had a BMW in years past and was about to do a 2 week motorcycle trip through North Vietnam.
Wished them well and headed back for the Basin again since it looked as if the storm had gone north. Thunderheads were forming over the mountains in Mexico above Santa Elaina behind me so it seemed like a good time :)
By the time I reached the main road, it was 4:30 and I didn't want to miss the 4th Parade so I turned west for Terlingua instead. By the time I reached the west gate I could see dust clouds blowing up from the storm coming from Mexico and barely beat the dust but got the brunt of winds blowing across the valley.
It was still early for the parade so I went on to the porch and sat listening to someone playing guitar, egged on by one of the porch goers who had a little too much to drink. Speaking of which, drinking seems to be the national sport of Terlingua, as it seems the folks around you either:
A.) have a hangover
B.) are working on one
C.) are recovering from one
D.) are planning one for later.
Some are probably, E.) all of the above.
One by one the folks disappeared from the porch and it was about time to head back for the Parade. I got to Kathy's a little early and immediately had a water balloon lobbed at me. Unfortunately it missed and I got roped into blowing up balloons for the parade marshall's car. Shortly after everyone zoomed off for Study Butte to queue up for the parade.
The afternoon was cool and overcast - about 75 degrees - and I was happy to be enjoying cool weather.
After a while you could hear sirens in the distance which signalled movement. The 12 of us who had gathered to watch waited with white-knuckled excitement I'll tell ya.
More and more folks began to show up and lined the road from the Chisos Mining Company Motel to Kathy's. I finally realized most of the population was probably IN the parade. Doh!
Eventually the parade got close enough to see the horsemen, fire department, law enforcement, atv's and cars, all weaving and circling behind the slow moving horses.
As they approached, the two lead riders charged up the hill and reached the top waving flags - it was quite cool to watch. Kathy in the old Parade Marshall's car - which had belonged to her dad - made big circles in the road honking and waving. The rest of the gang showed up with sirens blazing and it became a fiesta in short order. The crowd swelled and the music started. The EMS personnel began serving food - which by the way this parade is for - to support the local EMS - and the party got started. I chatted with a few folks and paid for my plate, enjoying the circus going on around me. What a hoot!
All good things must come to an end (for me at least) and I had a room booked in Marathon and a dance to get to. It was about 7:30 and was dark and cludy to the north so I knew I needed to get going to make the dance before it was over.
With a tinge of sadness I fired up the bike, getting thumbs up from some folks around, and headed for the park entrance. A front had moved in from the west and north and I knew it would be darker sooner than normal. I had hoped to be there a little early to get a shower and get to the dance for the fireworks show when it started. I knew it wasn't gonna happen, but still wanted to get there before dark if possible. It's about 60 miles through the park at 45 mph before you can open up for the 45 miles to Marathon. I didn't relish the thought of riding in the dark, but even less what I was about to go through...
Shortly after I reached Panther Junction and turned north, I got hit with violent stomach spasms and cramps - probably the worst I've ever had. I tried to continue on, but in a few hundred yards I was sweating profusely, trying not to throw up and feeling very dizzy. There was no place to stop and I struggled on until finally reaching a pull-out. I was barely able to get off the bike as I had become weak and the stomach cramps were very intense. I felt severely nauseated and sick and began to wonder if I was about to spend the night on the desert floor. It was that bad, and I was praying hard, believe me.
Laying over the seat of the bike, I watched as the drops of sweat hit the dry ground near my footpeg. As they did, suddenly 6 or 8 black beetles came running out from under the creosote bushes, swarming the wet spots on the ground. I did not relish the thought of spending the night on the ground.
Just great. Violently ill, alone on the edge of the road, with 30 miles behind me and 70 in front with darkness falling. After a while, the cramps subsided some and I was able to begin to think again. I was shaking, weak, and soaked with sweat but got the bike started and headed north. My goal was to try and make it to Marathon, or to just stop at the park entrance if I couldn't go on and wait for someone to come by.
The light was fading and the clouds made it darker. The park ranger station was empty as expected but I finally made it out the north entrance and got the throttle seriously on. The cool wind helped but I still was having smaller stomach spasms and was very weak. 44 miles to go, as quickly as I could.
It's nothing but open range land between the park and Marathon, and I had no idea what large game would be crossing the road in the dusk. As the light got so dim that I could barely make out shapes, sure enough, a mule deer bolted across about a hundred feet ahead and I grabbed hard, but he went on across.
By this time my face shield was covered in bug splatters and it was getting hard to see. A ways down the road I hit a rabbit who'd been sitting in the middle of the road - I didn't see him and he didn't move... (sorry Hollin :( ) Just after that, I saw a dark shape move to my left and I hit the brakes hard and swerved... only to realize it was a spot on the face-shield that looked like movement in the low light. Let's just say that was a long hard ride to Marathon. I felt so poorly, I was glad to see the flashing red light for the Border Patrol checkpoint. I knew Marathon wasn't too far away. I must have looked pretty bad as the Patrolman passed me through pretty quick. I had driven from Panther Junction all the way and seen not a single car. Would've been a long wait for help.
Approaching Marathon, the mountains to the west were a faint silhouette in the distance. Fireworks were exploding off to my left against the mountain backdrop, presumably from the dance, so I guess I got to see them after all, just not as I'd have preferred.
Still feeling queasy, I arrived at the Inn and got my gear into the room. All I wanted was a shower and to rest a bit. As I turned on the water, the shower door fell off. Crap. 10 minutes later I had rigged it back on and enjoyed the cool water. I tried to drink a glass of ice water, but it caused further spasms.
Didn't feel like it, but changed clothes and went back out to ride down to the dance. There seemed to be a steady stream of diesel pickups rumbling past toward the park. It's a few miles down a single lane road to the park, and about 600 yards out, both sides of the road were lined with truck after truck. Headlights revealed couples dressed up walking together hand in hand, folks carrying coolers and chairs, all drawn towards the music from the darkness ahead.
It was almost 11 pm by the time I got there and got parked near the main gate behind a couple of DPS cars. The country music was playing and the crowd was dancing on the pad, illuminated by a few light bulbs. In the cool evening air, kids rushed past playing in the dark, families sat in chairs picknicking and enjoying the scene.
I watched and wandered, shooting a few pics here and there, but mainly just taking in the sights and atmosphere. The night air felt great despite the tinges of pain in my stomach. Fireworks popped in the darkness behind the stage to the squeals of kids.
What a nice night it was, even feeling lousy.
The long day finally caught up with me and I headed back to town. I sat on a bench in the dark on Main St. and listened to fireworks across the railroad tracks until finally heading over to the Inn and crashing.
Not sure what caused the stomach spasms... breakfast, a snack or the donated foods prepared for the parade. Possibly the heat releasing something from the plastic of the Camelbak into the water? Who knows!
Life's an adventure right?

Crazy Horse Sanitary Landfill
State: California(CA)
County: Monterey
City: Salinas
Congressional District: 17

Description and History
NPL Listing History
NPL Status: Final
Proposed Date: 06/24/88
Final Date: 08/30/90
Deleted Date:
The 125-acre Crazy Horse Sanitary Landfill site has operated as a sanitary landfill since 1950. Prior to 1950, the site was used as an open burning dump for approximately 20 years. The landfill is owned by the City of Salinas and is operated by Salinas Disposal Services. The facility currently receives approximately 162,000 tons of refuse a year and is scheduled to be closed in 2010. In 1977, the landfill received a permit from the State of California allowing the landfill to accept various wastes. Some pesticide containers have been disposed of at the facility. Reportedly, from the early 1970s to 1982, the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company disposed of large quantities of waste on the site from its vulcanizing process, which included rubber, carbon black and other fillers, oils, and mixed solvents. This material consisted of wastes containing mainly benzene and toluene. In 1987, off-site properties with contaminated wells were purchased by the City of Salinas in 1987. Since 1987, Pacific Energy has operated and maintained a gas collection system and an electric generation plant on the site. Land surrounding the site is used for residential and agricultural purposes. Approximately 6,200 people obtain drinking water from private wells located within three miles of the site.
The EPA has deferred to the state lead agency for this site, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region, San Luis Obispo, CA.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Air
Air and groundwater on site are polluted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Potential health threats include ingesting, coming into direct contact with, and inhaling contaminated groundwater and groundwater vapors. Concentrations of contaminants in the air are not high enough to pose a significant health threat.
Who is Involved
This site is being addressed through Federal, municipal, and potentially responsible parties' actions. The State is the lead agency for this site, and therefore is the primary contact.
Investigation and Cleanup Activities
This site is being addressed in two stages: initial actions and a long-term remedial phase focusing on cleanup of the entire site.
Initial Actions
Initial Actions: Approximately six acres of the landfill were closed in 1988 and covered with a high-density, polyethylene membrane and two feet of soil. Dewatered, digested, sewage sludge was placed on top of the area to promote revegetation. The southeastern edge of the area was lined with bales of straw to retard surface water runoff. The City also pumped water from wells in an attempt to stabilize the groundwater contamination. Six extraction wells initially were installed as an interim measure, followed by the installation of 17 additional wells to completely capture the migrating plume. Adjacent residential wells were either permanently sealed or converted into extraction or monitoring wells. Contaminated water was pumped from the extraction wells and treated by air stripping. Treated water is stored in collection tanks and then either reinjected into the ground through 27 recharge wells or used for dust control.
Site Studies
Entire Site: EPA is reviewing the effectiveness of the initial actions to determine whether additional cleanup measures are needed.
Cleanup Results to Date
Covering portions of the landfill and treating the groundwater have reduced the potential of exposure to contaminated materials at the Crazy Horse Sanitary Landfill site while investigations are being completed.
Potentially Responsible Parties
Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) refers to companies that are potentially responsible for generating, transporting, or disposing of the hazardous waste found at the site.
The PRP for this site is the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (SVSWA). Online information about the PRPs for the site is not yet available.

In keeping with tradition, the NFL sent questionnaires to its eight new head coaches during the off-season, quizzing them on random topics. Among the questions was, "Who has the hardest job in football?"
Answered Chip Kelly of the Philadelphia Eagles: "No one. It's a game."
Here's betting we're going to enjoy this guy.
For years, the Eagles had the least quotable coach in football — Andy Reid, who's now in Kansas City — and suddenly they have the most quotable.
Of course, Kelly is looking to put a more significant stamp on the game than his sense of humor and, in this case, perspective. He's an offensive innovator, first at New Hampshire and then at Oregon, and his play-calling is even quicker than his wit.
"I think Chip Kelly is going to have as much influence on the game and the way it's played now as anyone," Hall of Fame coach John Madden said. "If for no other reason, just the pace of the game and the number of plays.
"Everyone talks about it: Can Chip Kelly do what he did in college? Probably not in its entirety, but he can do a lot of it. Not only that, everyone else is going to do a lot of it."
When people talk about Kelly, they almost always talk about his offenses. But the quality of Philadelphia's defense is equally important. Consider this: If the Eagles can't move the ball, and they're running plays in rapid-fire succession, their defensive players will barely have time to take a few drags off the oxygen masks before they're back on the field.
Kelly said the offensive decisions he made as a college coach were always predicated on what kind of defense he had.
"I had total faith in our defense, so I wasn't averse to putting our defense on the field in any situation," he said. "I think a lot of that has to do with you making decisions. It's a risk-reward. What's the reward? Obviously, you get a first down. What's the risk? You're turning the ball over at that point in time on the field. So are you comfortable enough with your defense to put your defense on the field in that situation?"
A glimpse at the seven other new coaches:
REID, Kansas City: The only coach in this year's crop who had been a non-interim NFL head coach before, Reid coached the Eagles for 14 seasons, going 130-93-1 in the regular season but only 10-9 in the playoffs. Philadelphia parted ways with him after an 8-8 record last season.
Alex Smith, discarded by San Francisco despite being among the league's highest-rated quarterbacks after he suffered a concussion and subsequently lost his job last season, joins Reid in Kansas City.
The way Smith sees it, he and his coach have something to prove.
"We'd love to stick it to everybody who thought we couldn't do it, he and I included," Smith told the New York Times recently.
MIKE McCOY, San Diego: The Chargers, once routinely a lock to make the playoffs, have missed them the last three seasons. As a response, they dumped Norv Turner and General Manager A.J. Smith, and brought in the youthful McCoy, 41, most recently of the Broncos, and GM Tom Telesco, 40, of the Colts.
McCoy has familiarity with "presto-change-o" transformations. Two years ago, when the Broncos made the abrupt switch from more traditional quarterback Kyle Orton to scrambling, rambling Tim Tebow, offensive coordinator McCoy essentially tore up the playbook in the middle of the week and started fresh.
McCoy has Philip Rivers getting the ball out quicker — essential with an offensive line under construction — and has brought in Ken Whisenhunt and Frank Reich to help formulate the offense, along with Rivers.
"The thing about Mike is, he's got a plan," Rivers said. "He didn't just say, 'I'll figure it out as I go.' He's got a way he wants to do it. That's clear. When you go .500 the last three years, you're ready to believe. You're tired of being .500. You're ready to say, 'All right, I'll sign up. I'm in.'"
MARC TRESTMAN, Chicago: The Bears didn't just think outside the box in replacing Lovie Smith, they thought outside the border. The 57-year-old Trestman, one of 13 candidates to interview for the job, was head coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes and wasn't a finalist in any other cities.

Final Frontier: Newly Discovered species of New Guinea (1998 – 2008) (PDF-4.7MB) is a tally of 10 years' worth of discoveries by scientists working on the world's second largest island.
While the majority of 1,060 species listed are plants and insects, the inventory includes 134 amphibians, 71 fish, 43 reptiles, 12 mammals, and 2 birds.
Among the most notable finds: a woolly giant rat, an endemic subspecies of the silky cuscus, a snub-fin dolphin, a turquoise and black 'dragon' or monitor lizard, and an 8-foot (2.5-m) river shark.

WWF released the report to showcase New Guinea's biodiversity, which includes more than 800 species of birds and more than 25,000 species of vascular plants in New Guinea ranges. New Guinea's rainforests — the third largest after the Amazon and the Congo — and its coral reefs are astoundingly rich, yet still poorly studied relative to other places in the tropics. The dearth of information is a concern because New Guinea, which covers less than 0.5 percent of the Earth's landmass, but is thought to be home to 6–8 percent of the world's species, is facing an onslaught of threats from logging, large-scale industrial agriculture, and mining.
"This report shows that New Guinea's forests and rivers are among the richest and most biodiverse in the world," said Neil Stronach, WWF Western Melanesia's Program Representative, in a statement. "But it also shows us that unchecked human demand can push even the wealthiest environments to bankruptcy."

Ecosystems, especially forests, are threatened on both halves of New Guinea. On the western half — controlled by Indonesia — illegal logging is rampant and the government has granted, or is planning to grant, hundreds of thousands of hectares' worth of forests for conversion to timber and oil palm plantations and large-scale rice and sugarcane operations. On the eastern part of the island, the Papua New Guinea government recently stripped communities of traditional land rights in favor of big business, especially foreign agricultural firms, which have been winning Special Agricultural and Business Leases (SABLs) to develop forest lands (a moratorium on SABLs was put in place last month). Meanwhile industrial logging has degraded large tracts of rainforest. Both sides of New Guinea have been affected by mining operations, which at times have caused pollution and exacerbated social conflict.

But WWF says there is still time to protect New Guinea's flora, fauna, and incredible cultural richness (New Guinea is home to 15 percent of the world's spoken languages). It highlights the potential to boost the capacity of local communities to use legal mechanisms to protect their lands and resources from expropriation and expresses optimism that the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) mechanism could generate revenue to support conservation activities (although the report fails to note the widespread corruption associated with early REDD efforts in Papua New Guinea). Final Frontier concludes by arguing that certification schemes for timber and agricultural commodities could help maintain New Guinea's biodiversity in the future.
"It's vital that New Guinea's forests, rivers, lakes and seas are managed in a way that ensures they'll continue to sustain economic and social development – and support the island's fabulous wildlife," states the report. "If we're to safeguard this 'final frontier', it'll require active partnerships between New Guinea's communities and a wide range of stakeholders."

Forgotten species: the endearing Tenkile tree kangaroo
(05/03/2011) With their long snout, furry body, soft eyes, and, at times, upright stance, tree kangaroos often remind me of the muppets. Of course, if there were any fairness in the world, the muppets would remind me of tree kangaroos, since kangaroos, or macropods, have inhabited the Earth for at least 5 million years longer than Jim Henson's muppets. But as a child of the 1980s, I knew about muppets well before tree kangaroos, which play second fiddle in the public imagination to their bigger, boxing cousins. This is perhaps surprising, as tree kangaroos possess three characteristics that should make them immensely popular: they are mammals, they are monkey-like (and who doesn't like monkeys?), and they are desperately 'cute'.

(10/25/2010) Indonesian New Guinea is one of the planet's last frontiers: rugged mountains and rainforests conceal untold numbers of species and hundreds of cultures. But these forests—especially in the province of West Papua—are increasingly under threat from logging, mining, and conversion to plantations. The cultural heritage of the region is also at risk due to programs designed to encourage migration from other parts of the archipelago and placate restive native Papuan populations with special autonomy payments.

(06/30/2010) On May 28th the parliament in Papua New Guinea passed a sweeping amendment that protects resource corporations from any litigation related to environmental destruction, labor laws, and landowner abuse. All issues related to the environment would now be decided by the government with no possibility of later lawsuits. Uniquely in the world, over 90 percent of land in Papua New Guinea is owned by clan or communally, not be the government. However this new amendment drastically undercuts Papua New Guinea's landowners from taking legislative action before or after environmental damage is done. Essentially it places all environmental safeguards with the Environment and Conservation Minister.

New amphibians, birds, and insects have also been found during past expeditions in 2005 and 2007. A collaborative team of Indonesia and international researchers have since returned to the Foja Mountains and found more spectacular species.
Indonesia to target New Guinea for agricultural expansion
(02/22/2010) Indonesia will target its last frontier — its territory on New Guinea — as it seeks to become a major agricultural exporter, reports the AFP.
Palm oil developers push into Indonesia's last frontier: Papua
(11/10/2009) Oil palm developers in the Indonesian half of New Guinea are signing questionable deals that exploit local communities and put important forest ecosystems at risk, alleges a new report from Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Telapak.
World's rarest tree kangaroo gets help from those who once hunted it
(08/17/2009) The world's rarest tree kangaroo is in the midst of a comeback in a remote part of Papua New Guinea. On the brink of extinction in 2001 with a population estimated at fewer than 100 individuals, Scott's Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus scottae), or the tenkile, is recovering, thanks to the efforts of the Tenkile Conservation Alliance to motivate local communities to reduce hunting and respect critical forest habitat. The tenkile Conservation Alliance, led by Australians Jim and Jean Thomas, works to provide alternative sources of protein and raise environmental awareness among local communities.
Photos: Undocumented species discovered in Papua New Guinea
(03/25/2009) Colorful jumping spiders, a tiny frog with a "ringing song" and a striped gecko are among more than 50 previously unknown species discovered during a recent survey in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea. More than 600 species were documented during the 2008 expedition, which was led by Conservation International (CI) under its Rapid Assessment Program (RAP).
Papua New Guinea creates first nature reserve
(03/03/2009) Home to numerous endemic species and some of the Asia's last intact tropical forests, Papua New Guinea has created its first national conservation area. Unique in structure, the park is owned by 35 surrounding indigenous villages which have agreed unanimously to prohibit hunting, logging, mining, and other development within the park. The villages have also created a community organization that will oversee management of the park. The 10,000 villagers found partners in Wooland Park Zoo in Seattle, Conservation International, and National Geographic. The conservation organizations spent twelve years working with locals and the Papua New Guinea government to establish the YUS Conservation Area.
24% of Papua New Guinea's rainforest destroyed or degraded by logging in 30 years
(02/23/2009) Nearly one quarter of Papua New Guinea's rainforests were damaged or destroyed between 1972 and 2002, report researchers writing in the journal Biotopica. The results, which were published in a report last June, show that Papua New Guinea is losing forests at a much faster rate than previously believed. Over the 30-year study period 15 percent of Papua New Guinea's tropical forests were cleared and 8.8 percent were degraded through logging.

IT'S a dune eat dune world out there, say researchers studying how different sizes of sand dune interact.
Dunes get blown along by the wind, but small ones move faster so researchers had thought they just climb over the big ones and keep going. Now a computer model of crescent-shaped dunes developed by Veit Schwämmle and Hans Herrmann at the University of Stuttgart in Germany has shown this isn't so. Instead, when a small dune crashes into a bigger one, it steals most of the sand and emerges as the bigger one.
The pair now plan to travel to Brazil to study real dunes.

What has happened to the American culture of pitching in during a crisis? Prompted by a news article about the projected deficit for 2005 (the biggest, correcting for inflation, since WWII), I thought about what we used to do during wartime. When my grandparents were my age, there was a war going on. Everyone in the country participated in the war effort in one way or another--whether it was collecting scrap metal, working in a factory to replace those in active duty, or sacrificing luxuries in order to buy war bonds and financially support the government's needs for defense spending. This was all promoted and encouraged by the government, spun as a positive and upbeat way to get involved in what was going on.
What sacrifices have any of us non-military people made for this war? Especially those of us who so vocally and adamantly support it (many of whom just so happen to be the wealthiest among us)? What has our country asked of us in order to support the war effort--and what opportunities for sacrifice and involvement have they offered and encouraged us to participate in? While the cost of this war have spiralled out of control and our deficit hit these all-time highs, they've told us "Spend spend spend!! Boost the economy by going to the mall, and buying a nice new car!" Instead of asking us for a little bit extra to fund our troops, they've pushed big tax cuts through and further depleted their available resources and cutting into the coffers designated for music classes and gym in schools.
Of course, none of us are complaining about that--we don't like to sacrifice and we are placated by the confirmation from on high that treats, sweets, and luxuries are our god-given right, even as others put their lives on the line "to make America safer". Would any of us take our weekly McDonald's money and put it in a jar to send to George for the war effort, or paint our pantyhose on because all the nylon is needed for equipment manufacture? No way. And I'm not sure if that's because we're more jaded and cynical (and selfish)--that we know our loose change won't buy a helicopter--or because nobody is asking us to.
I do not support this war, I never wanted it to happen and I think it was a terrible idea. But as our economy goes down the tubes and so many public services that I DO support get shafted because of how much it is costing, I feel like I should be doing something other than just bleeding my heart and feeling smug. Doesn't anyone else feel that way? All of those people who think it's great and George is great--do they not feel any sense of responsibility and obligation for the cost (in more than money) of this fiasco? Or would they rather give their neighbor's first-born child to this greedy government than an extra 5% of their wages and assets?

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM)
For most people with CF, bacterial infections in the lungs are common. You probably know the names of the usual suspects found in CF lungs, such as "staph" (Staphylococcus aureus) or "Pseudomonas" (Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
But some people with CF have lung infections caused by a different type of bacteria. They are in the same family of bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), but they are not TB. This group of bacteria is referred to as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
NTM lung disease is not new, but it may be causing more infections in people with CF.
This section provides some key information about how NTM may affect you, how it is diagnosed and how, when needed, it is treated. Click on any of the basics below for more information.
In this Section
Thank you to Jerry Nick, M.D. at the National Jewish Medical & Research Center, Denver CF Care Center and Stacey L. Martiniano, M.D. at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver CF Center for writing this section.

I've had ten days on the little (virtually unknown) island of Lana'i in Hawaii. So unknown that Lonely Planet doesn't even have a section on it's website about it! I've been breaking in my new Gallaxy SIII smartphone at the same time as part of this trip. And what better place than this unique island to test out the Panoramic feature of my new SIII? I used to have to get a special app to do panoramic photos – but the SIII has the functionality built right in.
Lana'i is so unique and charming and I'll be writing much more extensively about Lana'i in the coming weeks – but this should give you a good teaser of what's to come! The island is full of gorgeous and surprising vistas that are unlike any Hawaii you've ever seen before. Here's a few views of the entire island – from the forested ares of Cook Island Pines to the secluded beaches, to the other-worldly landscapes, to the brushy dry plaines – Panoramic Lana'i is stunning.
Disclosure: I was a guest of Visit Lana'i as a part of their New Media Artist in Residence Program. Thanks to Samsung for sponsoring a few of my activities in Lana'i and gifting me a Samsung Galaxy SIII. All views expressed here are my own honest opinions and do not reflect the views of Visit Lana'i or Samsung.
Your Comments
Two pictures stand out to me: Grounds at Ko'ele Lodge and the Sunset over the Stables. Why these pics? Well, the grounds one has some dark, but bright shades of green that pop. However, with those colors, it really draws my eye to that gazebo (or whatever it is). It's like a beacon and I love it. The Grounds picture makes you think you aren't even in Hawaii. It almost looks like a picture of an English countryside landscape. I love that, too.
That's the beauty of Lana'i – it has this amazing forest area that will make you think you are in Montana or a Swiss mountain town. The diversity there is amazing!
I love these especially the capture at Lopa Beach. I have to start using the Pano-function more often.
It's super easy to use Pete! just a setting on the camera app.
Cool collection of panoramics! Really beautiful vistas!
I have never thought to do panoramas for locations but I love these photos, it really shows the beauty of Lana'i.
Time to throw away the DSLR 😉
I could definitely see myself spending a few days at the Four Seasons!
Lovely colours and atmospheric panoramas!
Ahh – Hawaii – so beautiful! We only got to visit Maui but I'd love to go back and see the other islands, especially Kauai.
Lanai'i is a magical place; such a departure from the rest of the islands. And the Four Season Koele is one of our all time favorite hotels.
Great panoramas BTW.
Holy snapping turtles! These panos are great….Lanai'i looks splendid. I have no idea which island I would visit if I could pick only one but Kauai, Lanai'i and the Big Island are tops on my wishlist these days…
OK, I am taking the plunge with the Galaxy SIII panorama camera thing this week… doubt I get many this good looking, but going to try!
Wow – wonderful panoramas. I can't even get mine to match up properly when I try.
Love these panoramas, especially the Garden of the Gods, such a different place than the beaches you expect anywhere in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing!
Hats off to you.. really beautiful Pictures

- lose your phone? it's like losing your ATM card with PIN
- if you lose your phone, then it's like losing your ATM card with the PIN written on the back. how stupid is that?
"Consumers will be able to use a phone as a wallet or as an access card simply by waving it over a wireless reader--and in some cases punching a personal-identification number, or PIN, into the phone--similar to how travelers in Tokyo and London access public transport."
in "some cases" punching in a PIN? yikes! it's bad enough that if someone gets your credit card they can go to a gas station and fuel up every car in their family without worry. now losing your cell phone is the same way?

Mom's Best
Cookie Butter Cookies
On 06, Aug 2012 | 17 Comments | In Mom's Best, Recipes | By Heather Mildenstein
My friend Jana sent me a jar of Trader Joe's Cookie Butter, also known as Speculoos. Speculoos has the consistency of peanut butter, but doesn't taste anything like it. Have you ever had those delicious little biscotti cookies on a delta flight? Well Speculoos is basically those cookies, ground up into a butter. It. Is. DIVINE!
You can eat speculoos or cookie butter on everything. Toast, bananas, you can spread it on anything. Quite frankly I just eat it straight out of the jar. It's that good. I hear you can also find it in grocery stores like Macey's.
So after I spread it on everything edible in my kitchen, I had an idea. What if I turned the cookie butter back into a cookie? Wrap your little mind around that, my friend. Well I did it last night and it was 1,000 times better than I could've even hoped and dreamed for. Really. It was THAT good! That's why you HAVE to make these! They're really easy to make!
Cookie Butter Cookies
1/2 c. cookie butter, or speculoos
1/2 c. butter
1 1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla
*extra cookie butter for drizzling at the end
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl beat butter and speculoos with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of the flour, the sugars, egg, baking suda, baking powder, and vanilla. Beat till thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining flour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-9 minutes or till bottoms are lightly browned.
Cool cookies on a wire rack. After the cookies cool for at least 20 minutes, melt about 1/4 c. speculoos in microwave and drizzle over cookies with a spoon.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
*For your convenience, purchase your cookie butter HERE!
holy mother. i know what i'm doing when i get home.
You can buy the biscoff spread at the World Market! They now have it in crunchy or creamy. The Speculoos kind is Dutch and you can get it from the Dutch store in Sugarhouse. I am obsessed with this stuff!!! Now I can't wait to try the cookies
Wow. Just wow. Save one for me!
100% genius! cant wait to try
I am Belgian and speculoos is from here but I just don't like the taste. I will have to try these cookies and see if I like them.
So nice to have briefly met you the other night at Communal, likewise I wish we could have chatted more. Oh and cookie butter is sooo dangerous! Good stuff.
Soooo Ono! Good job Heath! Can't wait to try these
I have never had this before since we don't have a Trader Joe's near by. I am going to have to hunt one down I try this. LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Just made these today and I'm in heaven!! Posting them on my blog tomorrow and linking back to you Thank you for this delightful and delicious recipe!!! xoxo
I think I saw this product at Fred Meyer for those of us in the pacific north west! Now I want to try it thank you!
So amazing on apples. really.
Great recipe! Thank you for sharing! I tried this and came out perfect!– The cookies didn't last long
Imma try this
just took the first tray out of the oven. yum!! my only disappointment is how crumbly the edges are. i'm totally a chewy cookie kinda girl, and i'm wondering how these could be a little heavier. but the flavor is perfect!
Ohhhhhhhh man. Just pulled the first batch out of the oven about 15 minutes ago and somehow three of them have disappeared…whoops! They're AMAZING, and I didn't even put the drizzle on yet! I used whole wheat pastry flour and veganized them by using Earth Balance instead of butter and using a flax egg (mixing 1 tbsp ground flax seed with 3 tbsp hot water and letting it sit for about 5 minutes before mixing in) instead of the egg.

Uranium crystals produced at Idaho State University RISE facility could reveal future of nuclear fuel
Written by Kortny Rolston, INL Communications & Governmental Affairs
POCATELLO – Mention the word "crystals" and few people think of nuclear fuel.
Unless you are Eric Burgett.
The Idaho State University professor is on a quest to create pure, single crystals of uranium and uranium oxide so researchers at Idaho National Laboratory and elsewhere can better understand the material and design higher performance fuels to power nuclear reactors.
Burgett and his team of graduate students have successfully manufactured cerium oxide crystals as a practice run (cerium can be a nonradioactive surrogate for uranium or plutonium). The team produced its first uranium oxide crystal in June at ISU's Research in Science and Engineering (RISE) facility in Pocatello. (more…)

The Redneck Betties opened their fourth season of roller derby with a road victory Saturday. They were in Medicine Hat and came home with a 199-111 win over the Dirty South All Stars.
"I think we were more physically ready than we have ever been," said veteran jammer Jinger Vitis. "We have been working really hard because we knew it was going to be a hard year with so many changes. We knew that we were going to have to step it up a notch, so physically we felt more ready.
The Redneck Betties have been challenged with a significant amount of roster turnover heading into their fourth season.
"We played like a team. We were very cohesive on the track and we just knew where everybody was going to be. It felt like it flowed really well and you would just have to look at one another and you knew what that person was going to do for you. We didn't have to really speak to one another, whatever we needed to do we could do it with a look and we were able to execute it very well and all together," explained Jinger Vitis.
The Redneck Betties will now quickly turn their attention to their home opener.
"We were so excited to start the season off with a win and then to come home. We want to have a sellout crowd and we want to just go out there and put on an amazing game and just play our best in front of our fans. We just want to have a really good, hard-fought game."
The Redneck Veronicas, Swift Current's B level team, were also in Medicine Hat. They dropped a 177-173 loss to the Regulators. "They played so well together," said Jinger Vitis. Wyld Chyld was named the Veronicas' Player of the Game.
The Veronicas were rounded out by three junior players from the RaRa Riots. "For them to be able to step up and play at a B level and play with the Veronicas, they did so well," said Jinger Vitis. "I talked to a lot of the players after the game and they knew that there was juniors on the Veronicas, but they had no idea which of our players were actually juniors."
The Betties will host their home debut Saturday against NorSask's Diefen-Break-Hers. The bout will begin at 7 p.m. at the Credit Union iplex.
