Winfield solid veteran corner, that can be only seen as asset to any team. Has had some health issues recently, but this can only be seen a positive addition to the Seahawks. "It was a very tough decision for me because of the relationships that I have in Minnesota," Winfield told Anderson. "I've been there nine years. I've had some really great coaches, teammates and fans there. I'm very grateful to the Vikings organization for my experience. "I'm definitely excited about the opportunity to play in Seattle. They're a great football team. Those guys did an excellent job last season. They're young, athletic and energetic. I'm excited to play with Richard (Sherman), Brandon (Browner), Kam (Chancellor) and Earl (Thomas) because they're some of the most talented players on defense in the NFL right now."

Acceptance fees that retailers pay on consumer credit and debit transactions were a hot topic during a roundtable discussion at the AFP of Canada Treasury Forum, as Diane J. Brisebois, CAE, President and CEO of the Retail Council of Canada (RCC), debated with her fellow session host, Paul Rogers, Head of Acceptance for Visa Canada.
Premium credit cards are at the forefront of the fee controversy, due to the higher charges retailers incur whenever these cards are used. The credit networks' and issuers' rationale is that consumers that use these cards are inclined to spend more, but retailers have not observed any uptick in sales, Brisebois said. She added that most retailers are concerned that the premium cards will eventually dominate the market. "I don't think merchants should have to pay for that," she said. "I think the FIs or the networks should pay for it."
Following the session, Rogers told AFP that the higher fees are tied to greater value provided by the premium cards, but acknowledged that a different approach might be needed. "The issuers have to think about the premium segment differently in terms of how they build their products," he said. "How those consumers behave is frankly different than on a basic card. For example, a much smaller percentage would revolve their balances as month-over-month, which presents different economics to an issuer. They're making those premium products work responsibly and in a way that presents a premium customer to a merchant. But what I would accept from today's session is that we have more work to do with merchants to make them understand that."
Due to these high acceptance fees, the RCC has been advocating for tougher regulation and more transparency for the past three years. In an interview with AFP, Brisebois said that retailers are pushing to ensure that they are only charged a competitive flat fee on debit transactions, along with the elimination of the high fees on premium cards, and the assurance that retailers will not be charged more for mobile payment transactions as they are becoming more integrated into the mainstream. "We will die on the sword for this one," she said. "We'll get regulations. [The credit networks] have not been able to voluntarily comply with the Code of Conduct and have not responded appropriately to complaints in the marketplace because, for them, their customer is the consumer. They really do not care about the merchant."
Brisebois strongly feels that the retailers have an ally in the government and is confident they will prevail. She noted that Jim Flaherty, Canada's Minister of Finance, has been very attentive to the retailers' cause and has introduced a robust voluntary code in order to spur voluntary discipline by the networks, financial institutions and acquirers. "He made it very clear though, that if he did not see movement in that regard, that voluntary code would be 'involuntary.' I believe that the Minister is very much aware that if the abuse continues, that there will be no choice but to implement some type of regulation," she said.
The good news is that the credit networks do not appear inherently opposed to regulation. Rogers told AFP that it would likely be a positive for the industry. "If it's handled the way it's been so far, it will be good for the industry because it's been responsible, balanced, fair, and it's dealt with good things," he said. "It's hard not to argue in favor of transparency. It's fair for a merchant to have a clear and concise understanding of what their cost of acceptance is. We support that 100 percent."

'Bed Intruder' Star Antoine Dodson Arrested
Police in Huntsville, Ala., booked the viral video star on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana; he was in custody a short time, according to TMZ, and released.
Dodson, 24, was charged with other misdemeanors as well: Speeding, failing to appear twice on a traffic charge and failing to have liability insurance.
When a reporter first put him on the air during a local news broadcast in 2010, Dodson said he'd witnessed an attempted sexual assault on his sister -- and he adamantly warned viewers 'Hide your kids, hide your wife' from the attacker. A viral sensation was born.
The drug-related arrest marks a setback for Dodson, who rocketed to fame after his initial TV clip inspired an Auto-tune song from the Gregory Brothers. The Chicago native then appeared on the 'Today' show, endorsed a mobile app and announced plans to shoot a reality TV pilot.
At the time he was discovered on the local news, Dodson was residing in Alabama housing projects and welcomed his nearly instant celebrity status: "This could be an opportunity for our family to get out of the 'hood," he recalls telling his sister, as quoted in an NPR report.

Timeline of Viaducts Developments
1958 City planners declare Strathcona a slum and decide upon a course of urban renewal that would have seen about 30 acres and over 600 homes and businesses cleared to make way for a freeway and housing projects.
1963 Despite the rejection of two city plans by the local community, Phase II of the Strathcona Redevelopment Project proceeds with work on the block bounded by Keefer, Jackson, Georgia and Dunlevy Streets.
1968 Grass-roots resistance. Local residents including Mary Chan and Harry Con found the Strathcona Property and Tenants Association (SPOTA) to fight city plans to build a freeway through Strathcona. They are joined by a diverse group of citizens including Mike Harcourt, Walter Hardwick and Shirley Chan and hundreds of Vancouver residents who successfully thwart city plans to bulldoze large parts of Gastown, Chinatown and Strathcona. By this time, however, the City had already purchased and cleared 15 blocks of Strathcona for urban redevelopment.
1971 Another act of grass-roots resistance: twenty five women, the "Militant Mothers of Raymur," blockade the train tracks between Raymur and Glen demanding a safe crossing for Seymour students who have to cross the busy and dangerous tracks every day to get to school. Their intermittent train stopping blockades prompt the city to build an overpass at Keefer later in the year.
1972-3 The only remaining vestige of the freeway that didn't happen — the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts — are built. In the process Strathcona's historic black neighborhood, Hogan's Alley is leveled.
2009 Strathcona Residents' Association resolves
to support the Venables Prior Greenway Project
May 6, 2009, SRA Resolution on VPGP:
Moved: Graham Elvidge, Seconded: James Johnstone
Moved: Graham Elvidge, Seconded: James Johnstone
Be it resolved that The SRA supports the Venables Prior Greenway Project (VPGP) as described below: The Venables Prior Greenway Project (VPGP) proposes to traffic calm and beautify Venables/Prior Street from Gore Avenue to Commercial Drive, with the ultimate goal of returning these streets to their former status as neighbourhood streets. The aim of the VPGP is to proceed incrementally: 1. to reduce traffic lanes from four to two by reinstating 24-hour parking; 2. to introduce further traffic calming measures such as corner-curb bulges and bus bulges; 3. to address safety issues and wheelchair accessibility and; 4. to provide additional trees, plantings, public art, and historical markers. The purpose of this project is to enhance the livability of the historically linked neighbourhoods of Grandview-Woodlands and Strathcona by favouring pedestrian, bicycle, and transit over automobile traffic, and provide improved opportunities for commerce along Venables. Some of the many City of Vancouver precedents for this type of greening, traffic calming, and street improvement include Carrall Street Greenway, Victoria Drive traffic calming, Blenheim Street re-designation to Local Area Feeder, and Crown Street Sustainable Streetscape.
2010 Vancouver's Winter Olympics see the closure of the viaducts and with it, virtual elimination of traffic on Prior. Apparently, Vancouver commuters and truckers can function just fine without Prior Street.
2010 May: Strathcona Residents' Association resolves
to request Prior / Venables be downgraded from truck route to local collector
May 6, 2010 SRA Resolution on Prior Street Truck Route: Moved: John Atkin, Seconded: Graham Elvidge
Be it resolved that the SRA request that Prior / Venables Streets be downgraded from truck route to local collector street between Main Street and Clark Drive, and that the City of Vancouver provide an alternate truck route from Main Street, via National-Thornton-Malkin-Raymur-Parker. And be it further resolved that the SRA supports the City of Vancouver's plan for a bridge connecting Malkin Avenue to Clark Drive.
2010 November: Vancouver City Councillor Geoff Meggs visits Strathcona Residents' Association to present his vision of viaduct removal. Key points include: Olympics showed that the viaducts could be closed with few affects on traffic in the area. Traffic on the viaducts is dropping year to year. 7200 new residents in the area around arenas and 5000 new jobs. Significant Development coming to the False Creek area (22 towers). The possibility of a Hogan's alley commemoration if the viaducts are removed. Of particular interest to Strathcona, on the subject of Prior Street and how traffic is managed post viaducts, the Malkin Bypass was deemed most likely. A powerpoint presentation reveals a two phase project of traffic and soil review followed by urban design, land use issues and more detailed structural analysis.
2012 May: Strathcona Residents' Association resolves
to offer conditional support of viaducts removal
May 2, 2012 SRA Resolution on Georgia & Dunsmuir Viaducts: Moved: Graham Elvidge, Seconded: Jack Fraser
Be it resolved that the SRA supports the City of Vancouver's removing the Georgia & Dunsmuir Viaducts with the following conditions: that local area collector status and improved amenity are provided to Prior/Venables Streets; that a plan to stitch the urban fabric of Main Street back together is developed; that safe, quality connections are provided to False Creek and Strathcona Park; that traffic be routed around, not through Strathcona; that affected existing bike routes be re-established; that the City of Vancouver think creatively about solutions that mitigate the affect of traffic along Powell and Hastings Streets.
2012 June: City of Vancouver reveals it's Vancouver Viaducts Study The study does not include any traffic calming of Prior Street, but rather: an extension of Prior as a six lane street from Gore linking to Main, Quebec and a new Pacific Boulevard. The new Pacific Boulevard will merge former Expo Boulevard and is to function as a collector for former downtown viaduct traffic (via a new Georgia ramp), Yaletown, False Creek and the new post-viaducts developments. Prior Street is identified as "a direct east-west link to the downtown for commuter vehicles and large goods-movement trucks."
2012 June 29: Strathcona resident members of the ad-hoc Viaducts/Prior working group meet with city staff including engineering, planning and the Director of Transportation to explain and discuss neighbourhood concerns.
2012 July 5: Grandview Woodland Area Council issue a letter of support for the Strathcona and SRA position on Prior Street and request the City take immediate action to calm traffic on Prior / Venables
2012 July 6: Reclaim Prior! Between three and four hundred Strathcona residents of all ages and backgrounds take to the intersection of Hawks and Prior to protest the City's failure to address Prior Street in their viaducts plan and demand immediate traffic calming. Event organizers vow to continue and even ramp up the protests until safety and livability improvements are made.
2012 July 24: City Staff presents plan for viaduct removal. Mayor Gregor Robertson directs staff to return in the fall with revisions to include immediate traffic calming of Prior and fast-tracking of Malkin Connector. Read the transcript of his speech here

Looks great unless your kids use it Rated: 2/5
We got the jacket and matching pants. It looks great, and it is warm. But even with very minimal use this first winter we have had it, it is pilling all over the sides and arms It looks 5 years old with heavy use. I was hoping to get 2 years out of this Obermeyer ski jacket. My son is 4 and doesn't do anything rough. Even if he was rough, it should hold up much better. I doubt I will purchase Obermeyer again, only if they change the durability.

Good morning, welcome to Radioactivity. I'm Rob Lorei. Coming up on the first part of today's program is State Senator Mike Fasano (R-Pasco County). We'll talk with him about his opposition to the insurance bill signed yesterday by the Governor, the latest on the Taj Mahal courthouse scandal and privatization of prisons and Medicaid. Later we'll open the phone lines.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsI got mama's back!
If governor Scott is still looking for places to trim the fat, I suggest eliminating the program that provides cell phones to indigents. I am sick of paying taxes on MY cell phone so that some contractor can make money exploiting government programs for the poor. Commercial after commercial of "I love my mama and I got her back! I got her a free safelink cellphone!" You mean I got your mama'a back. I paid for it!

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 26, 2013
An expert panel of professionals who have been ahead of the curve in the burgeoning African investment field will give attendees a true insider's view at the New York Society of Security Analysts' African Capital Markets Conference on October 18, 2013. The panel features speakers who have succeeded in delivering returns on investments such as fixed income, private and public equity, and highly-structured vehicles such as project finance in the world's second-largest continent.
Serious global investors know about the tremendous economic potential of the African continent and the significant strides many of its countries have made over the past decade. The only questions for those without direct experience are the mechanics of investing and the balancing of unique risk and reward factors. This conference will give investment professionals a more in-depth look at the specific investment vehicles in Africa and the methods of analyzing and investing in them, and address the global challenge of applying increasingly data-driven financial analysis techniques to markets with often unreliable statistical coverage.
African Alliance is the sponsor of this conference that features panel discussions on debt capital markets, public equity, and private equity in Africa. Speakers include:
The African Capital Markets Conference will be held on October 18, 2013 from 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. at NYSSA Conference Center, 1540 Broadway, Suite 1010, New York, NY 10036.

Few areas of science have implications as momentous as those of climate change. Much is riding not only on ensuring that the science is as accurate as possible but also on getting the political and social response right. Given the high stakes, it is hardly surprising that scientists' methods and conclusions are coming under considerable scrutiny. This is as it should be. After all, scepticism is fundamental to the scientific method.
Scepticism is one thing; cynicism and conspiracy-theorising are quite another. These are the hallmarks of a recent attempt to discredit the widely accepted theory that human-made carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming. A loose affiliation of scientists and writers is pushing the alternative idea that fluctuations in solar activity provide a better explanation for the rise and fall in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere over the past few centuries.
Their basic argument goes something like this. When the ...

Healthcare law helping 1.2 million get free preventative care
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
Statistics released today show that more than 1.2 million Americans have been able to get at least one preventative healthcare service at no cost during the first half of this year. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reacted to the news about the positive impacts of the new healthcare law on Medicare recipients during a conference call.
âBefore 2011, millions of seniors and people with disabilities who had Medicare, had to pay what were often significant co-pays and deductibles for preventative services. For example, a colon cancer screening could cost some seniors hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets. These costs forced many seniors to choose between getting the care they needed and paying for other necessities like rent or groceries or even prescription drugs.â
And Sebelius called attention to other provisions of the Affordable Care Act that, when added up, will help save the average Medicare recipient save $4,200 over nine years. One of those directly addresses the high cost of prescription medications.
âIn the past, as many as one in four beneficiaries went without a prescription every year because they couldnât afford it. Today, if you are in the prescription drug coverage gap known as the donut hole, you receive a 50% discount on covered brand name drugs automatically when you fill your prescription.â
Despite these benefits to Medicare recipients, the healthcare law remains controversial among conservatives. One popular argument has been that expanding health coverage to more people will increase costs. Sebelius said enrollment is on the rise, but it hasnât had the negative cost impact some have anticipated.
âFor example, we saw premiums in Medicare Advantage plans fall an average of 7% between 2011 and 2012 while enrollment went up about 10%.â
But the distaste for what Republicans call Obamacare is so strong the U.S. House of Representatives has threatened to overturn the law. The measure would not likely pass the democratic-led Senate. Regardless, Sebelius cautions lawmakers and constituents about the effects that would have.
âFor millions of seniors and people with disabilities who have seen the impact of these benefits in their own lives, the consequences of repeal would be devastating.â
In Florida, Governor Rick Scott has said he wonât implement parts of the healthcare law because it is too costly. That includes expanding the stateâs Medicaid program and implementing insurance exchanges where people can shop for the best premiums. Changes to Medicare are handled by the Federal Government.comments powered by Disqus

WELCOME to the world of tomorrow. Google's wearable computer, Glass, will in part be powered by quantum technology – maybe.
Earlier this year Google announced that it had bought a quantum device from Canadian firm D-Wave and partnered with NASA to set up a quantum computing lab. Now it seems their first real-world application may be improved algorithms for Glass.
Last week tech site The Verge reported that Google had used the D-Wave machine to design better software for allowing Glass users to "click" on links by blinking. In an earlier blog post, D-Wave founder Geordie Rose also said Google had used the device to train blink detectors.
D-Wave's devices remain controversial, because they use a technique that does not conclusively exploit quantum phenomena to improve performance. Matthias Troyer of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich says the same training could probably have been done with a classical PC. But he does think D-Wave machines are worth further study.

Look, it ticks me off that the only place in San Diego I get to see Adrian Gonzalez is on Taco Bell cups.
So it is with much reluctance that I submit Carlos Quentin as trade bait.
I surely enjoyed the seventh episode of the Quentin Show, even if his presence was not enough to avoid another loss for the worst team in baseball, 6-5 to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
The Padres are batting 21 points higher and scoring a full run more per game with Quentin in the lineup. He is by all accounts a man of rare intensity, who values being a veteran presence. He's from San Diego and is enjoying playing here. And even though he won't continue hitting the white off the ball, his resume and what he's doing currently make him the Padres' best offensive player by a frustrating margin.
His arrival after 49 games on the sideline following knee surgery is great for the poor season ticket holders who now have four times a night they can be expectant.
When he came to the plate in the seventh inning with the Padres trailing by a run, there was a reasonable thought that one of his swings could tie the game. He's the only 2012 Padre we could actually believe could do so regularly.
Heck, Quentin is the first guy the Padres have had since Gonzalez who might have prompted the Giants to walk the tying run aboard in the bottom of the ninth. (He was on deck when Chase Headley struck out to end the game. But what if Headley had reached base and somehow gotten in scoring position?)
However, the Padres should again be sellers this July and at least try to get some more promising youngsters for the two-time All-Star.
That Quentin grounded out to shortstop in the seventh is not an indictment, just a reminder that one man does not make a baseball team. It's a small sample size, but the Padres are 2-5 in Quentin's seven games.
Bottom line, the Padres aren't good enough (or that close to getting there) to justify keeping Quentin right now. And besides, I just don't believe Quentin is a guy you build your team around. Not that he needs to rise to that level to justify keeping him, but I'm not even sure the Padres could justify him — at $7 or $8 million a year, which he will certainly deserve after this season.
Of course, maybe when my man Thomas Tull takes over he'll start throwing around some coin. How soon, though, will that take place? Can General Manager Josh Byrnes see the future and know what his payroll will be in 2013?
Oh, the Padres will be better if they have Quentin.
And as he stopped to talk in a corridor beneath Petco Park, Quentin sure sounded like a guy who enjoys being here. One of the few veterans on this team that can draw from experience on multiple teams, Quentin's raving about manager Bud Black, his coaches, the training staff and the young talent seemed heartfelt.

Jason from Texas found these dual pods on oneof his NuMex Barker Hot plants. He writes:
I'm not sure how common these "mutant" chiles are, but I was very surprised to find it growing in our garden this year. We had a wonderful harvest of over 600 Sandia, Barker's Hot, Espanola, Chimayo, and Big Jim chiles from around 15 plants in our small garden in the Dallas, TX area. I still have this chile in a dried state if anyone doubts it's authenticity ;-)Jason H
Hi Jason,
This condition is called double pollination, resulting in conjoined pods. Good shot! We rotated it a bit - hopefully Hugh H. won't mind ;-)--Ed.
Dave,This is my Datil pepper plant. It was 2 years old but passed away this harsh winter due to a lack of water. I think. The first year I didnt get any pods but the second year I got about 30 small pods from it. I saved the seeds also. I am so proud of this plant. This is the first really good datil plant I have ever produced in 10 years of growing peppers. Hope you like it as much as me. This strain of Datil was from the Alfrey seed company. Also I have about 1600 varieties of peppers now in my collection of seeds. and still going strong.Forever Peppers in New York,Karl Heinrichs
Great Job, Karl!--Ed.
Our reader (and Scovie winner) Julie Riffle cameup with a great idea, showing true chilehead spirit:
Hey Dave,We decorated and donated a chile pepper and hot sauce tree for our local "Festival of Trees" which benefits Palmetto Health Children's Hospital. A friend designed a Scovie Award tree topper for our "Molten Golden" First Place win. Thought you might want to check it out.Cheers,Julie RifflePalmetto Pepper Potions, LLC
Our reader Jim had some great success with hydroponically grown peppers. He writes:
Hello there Dave,
I just got into growing last winter hydroponically with some tomatoes and other veggies. Spring came along and I ended up with some sweet Italian bells and hanabero growing inside the house. The heat was taking over inside and the plants were getting flower drop because of it. So instead of getting a AC unit for the room I just moved everything outside. I buried a 45 gallon reservoir in the ground and setup the aeroflo tube. I guess the Habs loved it becouse this is what I ended up with.
They're still outside and loaded with bright red peppers and there are still some flowers on them and the temp this morning was 41F outside.
Mark Bromiley, a devoted chile grower in Germany, sent us this shot of his 'Caribbean Red' Habanero that is 150 centimeters tall!
Note the chile "pest" at the bottom of the plant.
Karl Heinrichs, a chilehead who loves to find and grow unusual chiles, sent us this image of pendant 'Ulupica' pods. 'Ulupica' is the common name for the rare, wild species Capsicum cardenasii.
D. Boland took a close look at his harvest. He writes:
Have you ever looked at the bottom of a habanero? Maybe it's too much cap-induced endorphins, but I swear this little guy is laughing at me...
Fiery-foods.com Webmaster Harald Zoschke experienced the same. He writes:
While living in Florida, my company Suncoast Peppers Inc. developed and manufactured various habanero hot sauces. When sorting through a batch of fresh habs, I found the guys below, and I also had the feeling that they had a good time. I went ahead and glued on some eyes I got in a hobby store. Judge for yourself: do these guys have personality or what!
Mike Green, of Perry, Oklahoma, has constructed what he believes is the World's Longest Chile Pepper,measuring 32 feet from stem to tip. He erected it on his land next to I-35 to promote his Farmer's Market.Contact Mike at
Jukka Kilpinen, a chilehead from Finland, sent us a photo of his harvest and another one of his snowed-in greenhouse.
Here's my kitchen table. And here's a rather funny picture of my greenhouse still running.
Chilehead Greg Mortensen made an interesting discovery. He writes:
I was harvesting the peppers from my potted 'Caribbean Red Habanero' the other day, and picked off 12 or so pods. To make a long story short, I started dicing them up to make hot sauce out of them, and I noticed something unusual: 75% of the pods had fully-formed, but smaller, pods inside of them!
I cut these miniature pods open, and they look like their bigger brothers. They have a complete membrane running down the middle of them. Both the full-sized and miniature pods are extremely hot; they're the hottest that I ever had, and they're hotter than the 'Francisca' and 'Red Savina' habaneros that I also grew this season.
Maxine Steiner, of Ellensburg, Washington, writes:"I received the plant when it was about 10 or 12 inches high, (a year ago this July, 2003} and so far it has never bloomed so I haven't had any pepper pods. I saw a couple places that looked like blossoms were starting but they did not mature. I have had it in the house to save it, as we have very cold winters. I am an old farm gal and had 1/3 acre of garden every year so I did a lot of canning etc. AND YES, it is a pepper plant!!!!!!!!Another pepper freak,Maxine (82 yrs young}.
Mark Bromiley (Cologne, Germany) writes:
"You probably get many photos of peppers, but here is a photo that I'm really proud of. It's a photo of the biggest habanero that I have grown so far. It measured 4 cm. in diameter!"--Mark
Hi Dave,
The 'Red Hot Chilli Pepper Fiesta 2003' was held on August 9 & 10 at West Dean Gardens, West Dean College, Chichester, West Sussex, UK. I don't know what the attendence was, but I am sure it was in the thousands. I have included the website:

Politically Correct Food Chain
Bill "Fire" Reaves is a loyal fiery fellow we meet at almost every single Fiery-Foods & Barbecue Show. Recently he made a great discovery in South Korea:
"On a recent trip to South Korea, I stopped for a burrito (ha!...just kidding!) at one of their "rest stops" on a major highway south out of Seoul. I was on my way to Cheongju. I noticed a very large monument/statue at the end of the rest stop. I didn't have a lot of time, so I just snapped a hurried "digital" and went on my way. When I reviewed my snap.....I was pleasantly surprised to find some sort of monument, perhaps to the "hierarchy" of the food chain........and as you can see.......by jove...."I think they've got it!!....."

A True Chilehead's Office
Jukka Kilpinen of Finland has an office to grow for! After learning about container gardening and indoor cultivation from The Pepper Garden, he reports that his office is "full of beautiful peppers. His growing shelf is constructed as follows:
Upper shelf: 4 18-watt fluorescent tubes
Middle shelf: 4 36-watt fluorescent tubes
Lower shelf: 3 36-watt fluorescent tubes
Additional lamps: One 400 W sodium vapor lamp and to 4 x 17-23W fluorescent (energy-saving) bulbs.
"Really, officer, it's all just chile pepper plants!"
Finnish chilehead Jukka Kilpinen uses plentyof growing lights.
Also, he notes that "the sun shines directly into my shelf during the morning-midday hours," and "I also must add that my habaneros are much hotter than the ones in the markets here!"

I have a nice 4 day weekend to work on my chile patch. I grow about 20 plants a year with about 8-10 varieties, then make a bunch of hot sauces and chile products for holiday gifts. Thanks mostly to your efforts and input over the years.
Keep'n it hot as always.

Here's a photo for your website. I was helping at our annual chili cookoff at church and was dressed for the occasion. I had on chile chef pants, chile pepper socks, a Tabasco "Who's Your Crawdaddy?" t-shirt and wore a Tabaso apron. Since the youth group sponsors the contest, an I am always one of the entrants, I try to make it as much fun as possible. I helped the Mid high group make their "Our Cluckin' Chili", a chicken-based chili, and entered my own "Wallaby Damned Chili". Although we didn't win, we certainly had fun and the kids raised a lot of money!

WVU's Belnome Living His Dream
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Growing up in Coatesville, Pa., all Vince Belnome wanted to do was to get an opportunity to play professional baseball.
After being a three-time team MVP, a member of the Chester County Carpenter Cup and finishing his career at Coatesville High with a school-record .490 career batting average, it was not enough to get drafted and Belnome decided to sign with the West Virginia University baseball team to hone his skills at the collegiate level.
It was then after his junior season in 2009 with the Mountaineers when the San Diego Padres called Belnome's name in the 28th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Belnome then had a decision whether to stay another year at the collegiate level or follow his dreams and start his professional baseball career.
Belnome chose to follow his dreams.
"All I wanted was a chance to play professional ball and show them what I could do," Belnome recalled.
A rare left-handed hitter and right-handed infielder, Belnome is now a member of the San Antonio Missions, San Diego's Double-A affiliate, and has been wowing the crowds with his versatile hitting approach in the fifth spot in the batting order.
"This year has been going great. We clinched our first half title in the league, so the team is doing well and these are the guys that I have pretty much played with since I started," Belnome said. "It's basically the same group of guys and we've been playing together for almost three years now. We're meshed as a team and we just know how to get it done.
"It makes it a lot easier on everybody else because we know our roles on the team and we play them and make sure we're helping everyone else."
Through 59 games, Belnome carries a .318 batting average with 68 hits, 44 runs, 16 doubles, one triple, 12 home runs, 47 RBIs and 40 walks.
In his last 10 games, Belnome is 17 for 36 (.472) with 13 runs, one double, one triple, six home runs and 19 RBIs, while also being named the Texas League Player of the Week for the week ending June 12.
Belnome credits the hitting approach and off-season work he did with WVU assistant coach Pat Sherald as the part of the reason for his tremendous success in pro ball.
"That's all we did in the offseason. We had 30-some stations set up in the IPF on hitting," Belnome remembered. "(Sherald) loved my approach and told me to stick with that and he knew if I was struggling and would know exactly how to fix it."
Serving as a second baseman and designated hitter for the Mountaineers in 2009, Belnome remembered the lineup that featured eight of the nine hitters batting above .322 for the season and seven of the nine playing professional baseball at one point.
"It was unbelievable playing with those guys and I wish them all the best of luck in years to come," Belnome said. "Jedd (Gyorko) and I are in San Diego together and (Tyler) Kuhn is leading the Double-A in batting average."
Belnome will likely peek across the diamond and see his former teammate in a few weeks as Gyorko is leading the Single-A Advanced league in just about every offensive category while playing with Lake Elsinore in the California League. Gyorko was named a league all-star and is currently batting .384 with 66 runs, 106 hits, 30 doubles, one triple, 15 home runs, 64 RBIs and 11 steals.
"It would be awesome if he was called up," Belnome said. "We all saw what he was able to do in college and when you have a hitter of his caliber; it just makes everyone else better."
Belnome now looks back at his decision to sign with the Padres as something he will never regret.
"It's quite an experience," he said. "I've been in the northwest, the Midwest, California and now Texas, but that's another reason I got into baseball, because you get to travel so much and see different areas of the country and sometimes of the world."
As for possibly getting a call-up to the majors? That's not even in his mind right now.
"I don't even think about it, but you never know what will happen," he laughed.

This is from last Thursday when I was at the Motorola XE Launch party at Tao in the Venetian in Vegas. That seems like more description than necessary. I thought that I knew how to work the club scene until I met this guy David who works at google. There was a huge mob of people waiting to get into the club, but David seemed to know everyone and managed to get us in immediately. The only person who cut us was Ice Cube. Lil Jon and Nicky Hilton were there too, but I didn't see them.
To see it in IE, copy and paste the host URL of the image into a new browser window.
A year ago there was something called "Krunkaoke" every wednesday night at a club nearby. I went religiously and became one of the few creepy superstar regulars who dropped hot gangsta classics every Wednesday. The first time I went I was really nervous, but after doing "How We Do" by The Game, I was hooked. Eventually Krunkaoke became too packed (is that possible?), and they cancelled it!
Desperate for a Karaoke fix, I started going to Rain, which is a gay club a couple blocks from where I live. They had a cool light up stage, but the mediocre sound system and guys trying to grab my ass left me looking for alternatives.
Then one night it happened. I was working late and I thought I heard bad singing at the club downstairs. Could it be... Karaoke?
Tomorrow's edition of Poem Club will be about Osip Mandelstam's poem, Take from my palms (well, I am using that first line as the title).
I read a few different translations of it this morning. I think that my favorite is this version, by Stephen Dodson, at qaartsiluni:
Take—for the sake of joy—out of my palms a little sunlight and a little honey, as we were told to by Persephone's bees.
You can't untie a boat that isn't moored, nor can you hear a shadow shod in fur, nor—in this dense life—overpower fear.
The only thing that's left to us is kisses: fuzzy kisses, like the little bees who die in midair, flying from their hive.

Golf columnist
The Masters: Rob Lee blogs on his colourful clothing and Jordan Spieth
Rob Lee blogs on his vivid Masters Breakfast attire and the men that made waves at Augusta National.
Last Updated: 16/04/14 10:58am
David Howell and Andrew Coltart were my guests and not only do they have a very similar sense of humour, they are also forthright in their opinions on the game of golf, which makes for good TV.
We had great banter in the Shot Centre, too, and out of all the shots that were hit, I would say that Andy probably got the better of myself and David - but I think David deserves a special mention for hitting two tee shots on Augusta's 18th into the right-hand rough!
My attire was a popular topic on Twitter, too - especially on the day I wore pink!
You have to wear logo-less clothing and not your usual gear, so as one of the shirts I bought had pink on it, I thought it would be churlish not to go for a pair of trousers to match.
I had positive and negative feedback on my garments and one guy even said it was an outrage that I didn't go whole hog and try to source out a pink visor as well!
Onto the Masters itself and three things really caught my eye.
Firstly, I didn't think Rory McIlroy's course management was up to scratch.
He played good enough golf to win the tournament but let himself down badly in the second round by shooting 77.
He played the par fives in level and considering where he hit his tee shots for most of the week that was pretty hopeless, so he has to improve on that front if he wants to get more victories under his belt.
Secondly, I was impressed with the way Bubba Watson bounced back from a poor third round to collect the Green Jacket, as on Saturday night he looked at sixes and sevens mentally.
And thirdly, I thought Jordan Spieth's performance, as well as the way he carried himself and engaged on the course, was tremendous and showed that he is destined for great things.
I have always been a big admirer of Spieth's - every time you chart his progress on a graph he does more - but I ruled out his chances of winning the Masters this year because history suggests you have to know all the nuances of the course to come out on top.
But while he made a couple of errors he might not have made had he been an Augusta veteran - like his second shot at nine and his tee shot at 12 - he was remarkable and has gone up in my estimations once again.
I must also give a mention to Miguel Angel Jimenez, who shot the best round of the week on Sunday - a six-under 66 - to finish fourth and may yet become Europe's oldest-ever Ryder Cup player at Gleneagles later this year.
Miguel is unique - but no-one can say he has got it wrong because he is as nimble and lithe as ever and his appetite for the game has not diminished as much as a per cent.
Plus, Lee Westwood should be pleased with his week's work in Augusta as he was exceptional from tee to green and if he is so again at the US Open at Pinehurst in June, I will put some money on him to win it.
Lee Westwood is the 9/1 favourite with Sky Bet for the Malaysian Open and while he may get quite tired in the heat in Kuala Lumpur he is back on with his swing and should fend off the likes of Louis Oosthuizen, Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero. Over at the RBC Heritage, meanwhile, I am going for Jordan Spieth to back up his great play at The Masters and win his second PGA Tour event. He's a 14/1 shot.

Sunderland's Ji Dongwon expects an army of Korea Republic fans to invade Cardiff for Saturday's quarter-final against Great Britain. The Korean members of the 77,000-strong crowd at Wembley Stadium yesterday provided a noisy background to their team's 0-0 draw with Gabon - a result that ensured their passage to a last-eight meeting with Team GB at the Millennium Stadium.
So far the British football team, who moved into the quarter-finals after beating Uruguay last night, have enjoyed strong support so far during the Olympics. But Sunderland striker Ji has warned that hordes of Korean fans will cross the Severn Bridge on Saturday to try to make the game feel like anything but a home match for the host nation.
He said: "There were a lot of Korean supporters at Wembley and when it comes to Cardiff I expect even more Koreans to travel to the match because it is a bigger match now we are in the quarter-finals."
Britain have improved as the Olympics have gone on and dropped just two points on their way to topping Group A. Korea only won once during their group campaign and their performance yesterday against Gabon, who were playing in their first Games, was certainly below par.
Ji and Arsenal's Park Chuyoung were both guilty of missing easy chances while Gabon came closest to scoring when Levy Madinda hit a post in the second half.
Ji, who joined Sunderland last season, insists he and his team-mates will be ready to challenge Stuart Pearce's men in Wales on Saturday evening, however. "Whichever team we play it doesn't matter because we have a good atmosphere in the team," the 21-year-old said.
"We are focused on the match and we will do a lot of video preparation and discussion with the coaches and the other team members so we are ready for the match. This is a big opportunity for me and everyone in the team and I am really happy that we are through to the quarter-final."

The Olympic ordeal
Simon Veness expects the US Open's Lake Course to reduce a host of pros to gibbering wrecks.
Last Updated: 13/06/12 8:25am
Once a year, along comes a tournament in golf that defies the usual conventions, that is so outlandish it makes every other event seem like a picnic, and which has the average pro running for cover like a weekend hacker.
And then, once every half-generation or so, that tournament decides to REALLY up the ante and produce a stage so extreme and eccentric, it makes its usual character seem positively benign.
Welcome, my friends, to the Lake Course at the Olympic Club, San Francisco, where this year's US Open will be contested over four likely identical days in this unique corner of California.
Just to start with, this is no ordinary sporting institution. The oldest athletic club in America, the Olympic was founded in 1860 and has hosted everything from heavyweight boxing to a world record attempt in the shot putt.
Its golfing history is slightly shorter, but no less dramatic. In fact, it borders on the seismic. Earthquakes, landslides and monster storms have all played a part in shaping the landscape hereabouts. And the end result is suitably large-scale and epic.
The Lake Course isn't the longest on the US open circuit, not by a long chalk. It doesn't boast the fiendish rough of the likes of Oakmont or Bethpage Black, and the winds don't usually howl like a banshee as at Shinnecock Hills.
But it does have any number of peculiarities and bizarre challenges, and it is these that have exercised the pre-tournament thoughts of just about everyone who has been interviewed on the subject this week.
Yes, we all want to know who the favourite is (that would be Tiger Woods, at around 8-1); sure, we're all keen to hear the odds on reigning champ Rory McIlroy (they're in the vicinity of 12-1); and certainly we'd be happy to learn how the world No 1 is fancied (that would be Luke Donald this week, and how about 15-1?).
But any conversation about 'The Olympic' that lasts for more than a minute is sure to wind up considering the course itself, trying to evaluate the obvious perils and hidden demons in a set-up dubbed anything from "fiendish" to "the ultimate challenge."
Consider this. The last time the USGA took its annual shindig to the City by the Bay in 1998, the winning score was even par. And that was when they had it easy.
This year's course has been heavily remodeled to add almost 400 yards of length, narrow fairways have been slimmed down even more, already-small greens have been put on a diet, some fairways have a slope not dissimilar to Mont Blanc and the tilt on some greens - notably No 17 - is akin to the banks of the Daytona Speedway.
Some players won't know whether to take out a putter or crampons.
The good news? There is no rain in the forecast and the water is safe to drink.
Even the executive director of the USGA, Mike Davies, was moved to wonder how some players might find the fairway on 17, let alone the green.
Just to start with, the Lake Course has two holes of exactly 520 yards in length. Not anything overtly strange about that, you might think. But then the 520-yard first is a par 4, while the 520-yard 17th is a par 5.
The twist, of course, is that the latter has a fairway that requires a GPS system to locate while the former is merely a 'long' hole.
Then there's the little curiosity that the players won't encounter a par 5 until the 16th hole. And then they get two in a row.
Bizarre? You ain't seen nothing yet. When players stand on the 16th tee there will be the little matter of some 670 yards to the hole. No, that's not a mis-print, it IS a '6' in front of the 70. That's just 20 yards short of SIX Wembley pitches in length.
And, if they're lucky enough to reach the green in three, actually getting the ball to STAY on the green will be a trick in itself. Or as head club pro Chris Stein insisted: "I can see players pitching up the hill and watching the ball roll right back to their feet."
Britain's Lee Westwood had an alternative thought. "I've never been in favour of 670-yard par fives," he observed in the manner of a player who has yet to meet this particular beast. What his thoughts will be after a round or two could be one of the highlights of the week.
So, when anyone starts talking about who is likely to be holding the trophy come Sunday evening, the real 'winners' are likely to be those pros who have not been reduced to gibbering wrecks by the Olympic's many quirks and peculiarities.
Is that particularly fair? Probably not. If even the harsh taskmasters of the Golf Association are a little wary of what might happen on 16 and 17, you can surmise that many a player will have far darker mutterings when they eventually emerge from the wreckage.
But then the USGA has never been overly worried about some of the niceties of Majors, like scores below par (remember, we've seen a 'winning' score of five-over-par twice in the past six years, and you feel McIlroy's sensational 16-under triumph last June just might have set the scene for the Revenge of The Open).
Seeing as my golfing skills are somewhat below that of Sunday Hacker status, I will be riveted to the TV throughout to see what kind of mess The Olympic will make of golf's finest.
As long as it doesn't deprive me of some Bubba Golf. Having watched, spellbound, as Bubba Watson carved his way to an epic Masters victory in April, I am mainly hoping to see at least a few more touches from the Magician of the Augusta Woods.
There hasn't been a player like Bubba since Chi Chi Rodriguez, and there hasn't been a personality like Watson's since, well, since ever, really. The 33-year-old from Bagdad, Florida, is a total original, and watching golf is simply more fun when he's on the course.
Whether Bubba Golf is enough to tame the Beast of San Francisco remains to be seen. But I'm pretty sure I'd rather watch him for two rounds than just about anyone else for four. And, if the US Open isn't quite his cup of golfing tea, Royal Lytham and St Anne's will be in for a real treat.

Sweet Pie Pastry
|All purpose flour
|300 Gram (2 Cups)
|200 Gram, cut in small (1 Cup)
|Granulated sugar
|100 Gram (1/2 Cup)
|Powdered sugar
|100 Gram, sifted (3/4 Cup)
Measure all the necessary ingredients exactly.
Fat for the pastry can be used straight from the refrigerator if it is cut into small pieces.
Sift the flour to remove any lumps.
Because the pastry contains enough fat of its own, it is not necessary to grease the pan or baking sheet.
Sift the flour into a large bowl.
Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter or margarine until it is evenly distributed and the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
With a fork, lightly mix in the granulated or powdered sugar and egg to give a smooth dough.
Do not overwork the dough or it will become crumbly and tough.
Press the dough into a ball, wrap it in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
It is essential to wrap the dough to prevent it from drying out.
The higher the fat content in relation to the other ingredients, the longer the pastry dough should be refrigerated.
Pastry that is well chilled is much easier to shape.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
Place oven shelf in correct position.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and knead it gently.
Sprinkle the working surface and rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough.
Take care that as little flour as possible is mixed into the dough when rolling or shaping it.
Too much would alter the proportions and texture of the pastry.
If the dough becomes too soft, return it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Flan and tartlet shells are sometimes baked blind.
For this they are pierced at close intervals with a fork before baking to prevent the pastry rising or bubbles forming.
The pastry shell is then lined with foil or waxed paper and filled with dried beans.
The pastry is baked for 10 to 15 minutes and the beans are then removed.
At this stage, you can either return the pastry shell to the oven to finish cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, or add a filling and then continue cooking.
Freshly baked pastry breaks easily.
For this reason always let it cool for a few minutes, then carefully turn it out of the pan or lift it from the baking.sheet with a spatula.
Do not leave pastry in the baking pan or on the baking sheet until completely cool or the fat from the pastry will set and make it difficult to remove.
Basic pie pastry can also be made by quickly kneading all the ingredients together until a dough is formed.

aboutHello,how are you? I hope you're fine but if you're not then just ask and I'll see what I can do.
I'm a 17 yr-old girl.I live in Wales,Britain so I'd be good for an outsider's view.I'm studying for my A-levels in History,English Lit,Media Studies and Welsh.I play the cello and I'm in a whole bunch of orchestras,and a choir or two. I'm an OXFAM volunteer and I'm looking for paid work to fund university this Autumn.
The picture on this column is obviously not a picture of me, it is my avatar from Spacefem.com.
I'm bisexual and I have a boyfriend, so questions about coming out or dating are fine by me. I live with both parents and my younger brother and sister so i know quite a lot about family dynamics.
I'm very open-minded and I'll try to answer as best I can. Basically you can ask me qestions on pretty much anything.
I hope you're all doing OK.
I own all this awesome modern purple furniture, but my realitor just showed me a house decorated in traditional hunter green. Think I'll be able to make it work, or should I not even think about it? I can't afford to have carpets and wallpaper replaced, but I really like this house.
You obviously like the furniture and you obviously like the house so I think you should go for it. You could try using throws,rugs and wall hangings to negate the clashing colours. would it be possible to do a little painting of something.
What sort of purple is your furniture and is the whole house the same green all over?
If you're too shy to ask someone out in person is it creepy to write them a note?
How well do you know them? Is it speaking to them that you're embarrassed about or asking them out. if you're too shy to talk to them then there wouldn't be much point in dating would there?
I have to do an egg drop for school using only rubber bands, straws, two 20oz soda bottles, two empty toilet paper rolls, glue, masking tape, twist ties, copy paper, and a manilla folder. We aren't allowed to use parachutes, it's only allowed to be 40cm x 40cm x 40cm, and it can't weigh more than 100 g (without the egg). My knowledge base on physics is very limited and I've been looking up websites on egg drops but none of them are very helpful. Any suggestions?
Use lots of suspension and padding to soak up the impact.Try for a crumple effect on one end(hold the egg at the other) and weight it so that it falls that way first.
If you babysit four little kids by yourself for three hours, around how much should you be getting paid?
Not sure how to answer in dollars but I can try to answer in pounds:
Depending on the ages around 5/6 pounds an hour unless you are in a rich area.Sometimes i get paid less,sometimes more. It depends on the ages of the kids,the number of kids,the behaviour of the kids,the time of day,whether you do any chores klike cooking or washing up.
It's really quite flexible.
I'm 22, almost finished with college, and currently living with my parents. I desparately want to move out of my house, and I would like to live with my boyfriend, but I am vacillating between both sides. I don't know if I should just go ahead and get a place with him, or stay at home until I graduate (with all my bills and tuition paid, therefore no financial stress on me).
It seems that while you are living with your parents you have the best of most worlds. You have no money problems,you don't have to organise laundry or food shopping, you get to see your boyfriend-you've got it made!
Why do you say that you 'desperately want to move out of (your) house'? Is it because of lack of freedom, being away from your boyfriend, what?
Where does your boyfriend live? If he lives somewhere where it is conceivable that you could stay with him for a while as a trial run then it would probably be a good idea to do so. That way you'd get a chance to experience being with him 24/7 and to experience financial independance.
I'm very confused. I have major crushes with 3 guys. One I've known since second grade. two of the mentioned males are in eighth grade, the other in sixth. I'm in seventh. What do I do?
I'm not entirely sure how old you are but it does sound like you should just sit back and relax.Just be friends with all of them and if something happens then it happens.Most chrushes+/ relationships at your age are quite fleeting.
Just enjoy being single!
