Mesic cedar forest
This is a rare upland forest community of mesic sites in northern Wisconsin, characterized by white cedar
(Thuja occidentalis)
and various associates including hemlock
(Tsuga canadensis)
, white spruce
(Abies balsamea)
, yellow birch
(Betula alleghanensis)
, and white pine
(Pinus strobus)
. The herb layer may contain canada mayflower
(Maianthemum canadense)
, twinflower
(Linnaea borealis)
, clubmosses
(Lycopodium spp.)
, and others. More information is needed on this community type.
Northern dry forest
This forest community occurs on nutrient-poor sites with excessively drained sandy or rocky soils. The primary historic disturbance regime was catastrophic fire at intervals of decades to approximately a century. Dominant trees of mature stands include jack and red pines
(Pinus banksiana
P. resinosa)
and/or Hill's oak
(Quercus ellipsoidalis)
. Large acreages of this forest type were cut and burned during the catastrophic logging of the late 19th and early 20th century. Much of this land was then colonized by white birch
(Betula papyrifera)
and/or quaking aspen
(Populus tremuloides
, or converted to pine plantations starting in the 1920s. Common understory shrubs are hazelnuts
(Corylus spp.)
, early blueberry
(Vaccinium angustifolium
and brambles
(Rubus spp.)
; common herbs include bracken fern
(Pteridium aquilinium)
, starflower
(Trientalis borealis)
, barren-strawberry
(Waldsteinia fragarioides)
, cow-wheat
(Melampyrum lineare)
, trailing arbutus
(Epigaea repens)
, and members of the shinleaf family
(Chimaphila umbellata
Pyrola spp.)
. Vast acreages of open "barrens" were also planted to pine, or naturally succeeded to densely stocked "dry" forests.
Northern dry-mesic forest
In this forest community, mature stands are dominated by white and red pines
(Pinus strobus
P. resinosa)
, sometimes mixed with red oak
(Quercus rubra)
and red maple
(Acer rubrum)
. Common understory shrubs are hazelnuts
(Corylus spp.)
, blueberries
(Vaccinium angustifolium
V. myrtilloides)
, wintergreen
(Gaultheria procumbens)
, partridge-berry
(Mitchella repens)
; among the dominant herbs are wild sarsaparilla
(Aralia nudicaulis)
, Canada mayflower
(Maianthemum canadense)
, and cow-wheat
(Melampyrum lineare)
. Stands usually occur on sandy loams, sands or sometimes rocky soils.
Northern mesic forest
This forest complex covered the largest acreage of any Wisconsin vegetation type prior to European settlement. Sugar maple
(Acer saccharum)
is dominant or co-dominant in most stands, while hemlock
(Tsuga canadensis)
was the second most important species, sometimes occurring in nearly pure stands with white pine
(Pinus strobus)
. Beech
(Fagus grandifolia)
can be a co-dominant with sugar maple in the counties near Lake Michigan. Other important tree species were yellow birch
(Betula allegheniensis)
, basswood
(Tilia americana)
, and white ash
(Fraxinus americana)
. The groundlayer varies from sparse and species poor (especially in hemlock stands) with woodferns (especially
Dryopteris intermedia
), bluebead lily
(Clintonia borealis)
, clubmosses
(Lycopodium spp.)
, and Canada mayflower
(Maianthemum canadense)
prevalent, to lush and species-rich with fine spring ephemeral displays. After old-growth stands were cut, trees such as quaking and bigtoothed aspens
(Populus tremuloides
P. grandidentata)
, white birch
(Betula papyrifera)
, and red maple
(Acer rubrum)
became and still are important in many second-growth Northern Mesic Forests. Several distinct associations within this complex warrant recognition as communities, and draft abstracts of these are currently undergoing review.

DNR Field Notes | Commentary: Middle Fork Snoqualmie NRCA offers habitat, clean water, and recreation
OLYMPIA – This 499-word article from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is available for use in your publication or on your website at anytime. The photo, Middle Fork Snoqualmie NRCA, also may be used with attribution as indicated.

Middle Fork Snoqualmie NRCA offers habitat, clean water, and recreation
By Peter GoldmarkCommissioner of Public Lands
At the annual Mountains to Sound Greenway Dinner on December 2, I had the distinct pleasure of designating the new Middle Fork Snoqualmie Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA). Protecting ecologically significant lands in key locations across the state is a very important and gratifying part of our work.
Some of Washington's natural areas are islands of ancient ecology surrounded by other land use or development. Others were selected for their unique features, such as Mount Si NRCA or the new Middle Fork Snoqualmie NRCA, that are prized both for their people-pleasing scenic views and grandeur and their native ecosystems.
When unique lands are modified or developed, their important natural attributes and diverse public opportunities may be gone forever. So it is critical for our staff at the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to identify areas of importance and work together with public and private partners to protect them.
Such was the case in the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley, identified as ecologically distinguished, featuring patches of natural-origin forests, important fish and wildlife habitat, and scenic views. This natural area, that includes 10,270-acre within its boundary, is nested along Interstate 90, and flanked by the Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation Area and federal forests. It will offer habitat corridors for many large and small animal species alike, and it will support the vision of the Mountains to Sound Greenway.
Currently, most of this area is state trust lands, managed by DNR to provide revenue to specific trusts that build public schools, and help pay for county services. However, much of this land has slow-growing higher elevation older forests, less valuable as timber lands than as forest habitat that supports clean water and other public resources. Last year the Legislature approved funding to transfer the state trust lands in the Middle Fork Valley out of trust status and into the natural area. The proposed Middle Fork Snoqualmie NRCA also contains a few private parcels that will be eligible to be included in the NRCA if they are purchased from willing sellers.
As I indicated, NRCAs in Washington State are designated to protect native ecological systems and habitat for threatened, endangered and sensitive plants and animals, while offering opportunities for education and low-impact public use.
Natural areas inform the scientific community through study and research, which helps us unlock secrets of rare plants and animal species, and identify relationships of plant and animals in these natural communities. A bonus for the public is that most natural areas are appropriate for hiking, to be enjoyed by so many people that want to experience the beauty and refresh their spirits.
Establishing the proposed boundary is the first step toward accomplishing protection for this rich landscape. I look forward to working with our partners and supporters to secure and manage this conservation area for the benefit and enjoyment of this and future generations of Washington's citizens.

The Mississippi Court of Appeals' Court on the Road program brought three of the court's judges to Mississippi State University's Hunter Henry Center Thursday to hear oral arguments for the learning benefit of students and community members alike.
The panel present at MSU included judges Jimmy Maxwell, Eugene Fair and Larry Roberts, who heard a criminal appeal from Neshoba County and a civil appeal from DeSoto County. Roberts said all 10 appellate court judges are needed to actually decide on an appeal in Jackson, but they can subdivide into three-person panels and hold public hearings for oral arguments outside Jackson.
"Being able to conduct (these hearings) at different locations in the state makes it convenient for members of the general public or students to see what the court does," Roberts said. "I think there is a view by many that judges on the court of appeals or in the supreme court sit in some ivory tower building in Jackson, not exposed to the general public. This is a wonderful educational opportunity for interested students or citizens to observe the court of appeals in action, to see what we do."
Fair said the number of stops on the Court on the Road tour increased this year from four to seven at the behest of Chief Judge Joe Lee.
"Normally, it's the three major universities, plus the Mississippi College law school," Fair said. "This is really good for people who have an interest in learning more about the judicial process. I think, of the three branches of government, (the one people are least familiar with) is the judicial branch. Most people that become involved in the court system become involved in it unintentionally."
Fair said this is also the first Court on the Road tour in many years to include stops that are not necessarily tied to any specific institution of higher learning. He said the program also attracts high school government classes, including 100 high school students who came to the tour stop at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville. Beverly Kraft, public information officer with the Mississippi Supreme Court, said Court on the Road helps schools that do not have the benefit of proximity to Jackson.
"A program like this puts it in reach of a high school field trip," Kraft said. "We have field trips come to Jackson, but this makes it more accessible."
Whit Waide, faculty advisor for MSU's Pre-Law Society, said the Court on the Road program has maintained popularity every year and is well attended. He said many college students are hungry for the type of real-world experience it offers.
"I'm a big believer in exposing college kids to the real world," Waide said. "I think we don't do that enough in universities. That's not to say classroom education doesn't have merit … (but) anytime we're able to expose students to the real world, I jump at the chance. I'm very grateful that the court has this program. We hope to have many years of the court of appeals on campus."
Mississippi College School of Law Dean Jim Rosenblatt said Court on the Road gives students at multiple universities a taste of the real-world legal experience students can access every day at Mississippi College, with the campus located within walking distance of the Mississippi Supreme Court building and the federal courthouse. Through such programs, he said, MSU has built a strong relationship with Mississippi College.
"Professor Waide's pre-law program does an excellent job of preparing students for law school, and last year, MSU recently became our largest feeder school," Rosenblatt said. "More students came to us through MSU than any of the other 31 schools we have represented. We have a special affinity for MSU Bulldogs."
Maxwell said he is grateful to Waide and MSU President Mark Keenum for their hospitality. He said he wishes the Court on the Road Program had existed when he was a college student.
"I think the Court on the Road program gives students an opportunity to see what goes on behind the curtains of justice without having to travel to Jackson," Maxwell said. "Most people aren't familiar with the everyday workings of an appellate court unless you're a lawyer. This gives you a bird's-eye view."

Arterial dissection refers to the abnormal, and usually abrupt, formation of a tear along the inside wall of an artery. As the tear becomes larger, it forms a small pouch which is called a "false lumen." The blood that accumulates inside this false lumen can generate blood clots or otherwise block blood flow, leading to a stroke. The carotid and vertebral arteries can be damaged by neck injuries or even forceful neck movements.
Arterial dissection can cause a droopy eye lid with a small pupil on the same side, headache, neck pain, or stroke symptoms.
Typically, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR Angiogram are done to look at the brain and the blood vessels of the head and neck and visualize a tear within the wall of an artery. Sometimes a catheter cerebral angiogram (also called arteriogram), which is a special test in which a neuroradiologist injects dye into the blood vessels in the brain and obtains images of the blood vessels, or computed tomography (CT) angiogram may be performed.
Treatment is usually with blood thinners such as warfarin or low molecular weight heparin for 3 to 6 months followed by aspirin therapy.

Hmm, well, personally, while I don't like the idea of slaughering a horse because he's not living up to his potential, as it sounds so ugly.BUUUUTTT,
Everything that lives must die at some point and suffering is hard to define sometimes. Being deprived of basic living rights-food, water, shelter and companionship. Yes, it's cruel. Having to suffer immense physical pain, cruel as well.
Working for a living-i.e. Racing, jumping or pulling wagon? Not cruel, if the animal is compensated for it and not abused with overwork, beatings, etc. I have to work and work hard, my body takes a beating some days, but that's life.
I don't think it's cruel for a horse to be put down, in and of itself. If the animal isn't forced to endure long standing pain during the death. Like I said, all life comes to an end at some point. I think a rubber bullet is kinder than being ripped to shreds by a predator. I think euthansia by chemical meds can inflict pain and fear as it takes longer than a bullet. Starving or freezing to death is much worse, or at least I'd prefer for someone to end it for me with a bullet than any of the other mentioned ways. I also don't see how it's cruel to be eaten. Humans don't eat horse flesh before it's dead. Once a body is dead, it's neutral. Personally, I'd RATHER them be processed and utilized one last time than to think of them rotting, and contaminating the air and water, and what do you do with the carcasses? They can't all be buried. In nature ,they would be eaten, probably the meal would start before they were completely dead.
A horse being raised for human service or entertainment is not cruelty in my eyes. Humans dominate the world, we control other species. Horse get hurt, by accident or when serving people. It's not pretty, and we should do what we can to minimize the injuries. But you can't wrap them in bubble wrap and keep them alive forever. Commercial slaughter may be scary, but horses get scared of loading in trailers, or of flapping trash bags, etc. To them, it's no less horrifying than anything else they ever percieve as danger, yet we purposely expose them to scary things to "train" them to accept them.
Horses, as much as I hate to say it, are just animals. No better than any other, we as humans favor them, so we put more value in what we think they percieve as suffering. Yet we think nothing of a cow's view on being slaughtered and eaten, or the spiders we crush on our walls. We just don't see them as valuable to us so don't think about how cruel it might be to be crushed alive..I think horses get it a little easier BECAUSE we breed them for our use. Hunters kill deer...they don't get a clean shot to the head, but we don't raise them as pets...I feel that if deer were domesticated, we would concentrate more on a "painless" death for them (and I'm in no way taking an anti-hunting stance-I am all for hunting and yes, I squash bugs) So is a horse's "slaughter" any worse than any other death? It's all relative. I'd rather slaughter them then watch them waste away with all their aches and pains.
Eating them..I couldn't eat my own horse, I'm much to sentimental. But I COULD eat a burger knowing it's horsemeat. It's just food.
I hope nobody is offended by my comments, that's just my own view.

Pizza Rises In The West
The Feb. 2010 edition of Sunset Magazine has an article on the 10 best pizza restaurants in San Francisco. If you are coming to the Expo next month, and plan a visit to SF, take the list, and see how they really rate.
Our favorite pizza places - Sunset.com
Re: Pizza Rises In The West
Last summer I had a chance to eat the Pizza at Apizza Scholls in Portland. It was excellent and the toppings were great. The toppings included owner made sausage. I believe the stove was not wood fired, but whatever the heat source, it came looking like it had been. The Pizza here was better than A-16 in San Francisco which was good, but not close to the quality of Apizza Scholls. I haven't had a chance to have a lot of top quality Pizza, but my experience so far has encouraged me to seek out places in the S.F. Bay area and Portland. I live in the sticks far away from what would be called "real Pizza".

YIELD: Makes 8 cups
1. Thinly slice half of the cucumbers crosswise. Thinly slice half of the scallions crosswise. Set aside.
2. Coarsely chop the remaining cucumbers and scallions and transfer to a large bowl. Add the dill, garlic, lemon juice, buttermilk, and yogurt, and give a good but gentle stir. Season with salt and pepper and puree in a blender until liquefied. (NOTE: You can use a food processor, but a blender will give a smoother, more pleasing result.)
3. Transfer the soup to a large bowl and add the reserved sliced cucumbers and scallions. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and Tabasco to taste. Chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

'The Secret Circle' photos: First look at The CW's coven of witches
The CW unveiled their 2011-12 schedule on Thursday, May 19, and in an expected (and might we add smart) move, they paired Kevin Williamson's new teen drama "The Secret Circle" with his hit show "The Vampire Diaries" on Thursdays.
"The Secret Circle" -- which Williamson and Andrew Miller are executive producing -- centers on a young girl ("Life Unexpected's" Britt Robertson) who discovers she is part of a secret coven of witches after moving to her mother's hometown to live with her grandmother. If that weren't enough, she also happens to be the key to unlocking a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil.
The CW has released the first images from the show, which includes a cast shot of all six members of the coven.
From left to right, we have Thomas Dekker as Adam, Shelley Hennig as Diana, Robertson as Cassie, Louis Hunter as Nick, Phoebe Tonkin as Faye and Jessica Parker Kennedy as Melissa.
Other images released include a tense moment between Cassie and Faye, Cassie locked in a car that's on fire and some seriously gorgeous shots of Cassie and Adam. Williamson recently told THR to expect an epic love story between those two. The word soulmates may or may not have been used. One problem? He's dating Cassie's new best friend Diana, who is also the leader of their coven of witches.
Check out these photos from "The Secret Circle" and then head on over to the comments to tell us if you'll be entering the coven this fall.

Crazy part-car-part-bike Can-Am Spyder is a quick, curious and massively entertaining plaything. We love it
Posted: 26 Oct 2010
But that's missing the point. This is a plaything that probably won't be used every day. It's a toy for anyone who's never grown up. Or anyone who's too nervous for two wheels. Or, frankly, anyone who wants a giggle. If you don't take it too seriously, the Spyder delivers huge fun. And it does so in floods.

FM908 does a mighty fine job in proving that capes aren't just for superheroes. In fact, a cape is a smart and chic choice if you're thinking about new ways to heat up your winter look. It's made from a wool blend (so you know that ish is warm) and though it's dabbled with details (double breasted buttons), it's still simple enough to layer on top of anything. We love it over a chunky knit sweater, high-waisted jeans, ankle booties, and a scruffy beanie. And you'll love because it gives you a way to esCAPE the confines of the conventional coat.
XS (Sizes 0-2): Bust 32.5-33.5". Waist 25-26". Hips 35-36".
S (Sizes 4-6): Bust 34.5-35.5". Waist 27-28". Hips 37-38".
M (Sizes 8-10): Bust 36.5-37.5". Waist 29-30". Hips 39-40".

Maryknoll sisters even appear in literature. In Farewell to Manzanar, Jeanne is a little girl living in a Japanese internment camp in California. Casting about for some kind of activity to absorb her energies, Jeanne turns to the Maryknoll nuns and studies catechism — not so much for spiritual enlightenment or grace as for the attention received by converts:
I was almost one of them. Papa stepped in just before my baptism day. If he had been there during those early months I probably would never have started spending time with the Maryknolls. He was always suspicious of organized religions. I think he had already tried to scare me away from Catholics. That was one of his prime methods of instruction: fear.

I had only had my Logitech 750 Master System installed for a few days. I was in my backyard preparing BBQ for a family get together when I heard a loud crash. I ran out to my front yard and realized someone had hit my car. I called the local police and my wife said "Wonder if you got that on the camera?" I opened up the Mobile Commander and sure enough I did.
The video segment below is the accident. You can see a truck leaving the neighbor's house and smashing into my car.
The police showed up and reviewed this video plus additional footage. They went to the neighbors house that the guy came out of. The neighbor refused to speak to the police and they can't force him to give up the name since no one was injured in the accident. Needless to say, I have showed the surrounding neighbors the video and they are aware of what happened.
You can't see from the video, but the total damage was $7,500. At least no one was hurt.
We installed Logitech Alert cameras in and around our Information Technology department to keep our server room and storage areas safe. During the August earthquake on the U.S. Eastern States, our building was evacuated. Fortunately for us, the Alert 700i was set to pick up on motion in the server room and the attached is what happened.
One of my 6 Logitech Alert 700e Cameras caught a UPS driver throwing a package into my garage. The package was busted open, but luckily nothing was damaged. If it hadn't been for the camera, I might not have even known the package was even in my garage to begin with. The driver usually puts everything up on my porch. Not this time.

Living with Grief: Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss on April 10Posted Mar. 19, 2014
Kent State University at Stark will join more than 2,000 organizations across the United States and Canada as a host of the 21st annual Living with Grief program. Sponsored by the Hospice Foundation of America, Living with Grief: Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss, will take place on Thursday, April 10 from 2–5 p.m. in the Main Hall Auditorium, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. The program is free of charge and open to the public. No tickets are required. Registration begins at 1:30 p.m.
Living with Grief: Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss is moderated by Frank Sesno, director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University, and will be shown via live, streaming webcast. The program will feature a panel of experts who will focus exclusively on the issues that adolescents face as they cope with loss. During the significant developmental period from middle school years to emerging adulthood, adolescents form identity, independence and intimacy. Illness and loss, especially by traumatic nature – accident, suicide and homicide – profoundly influence these processes. The program, which is intended for both professionals and laypeople, will also entail how to support staff members who interact with adolescents. Local sponsors include Canton Regional Area Health Education Center (CRAHEC), Mercy Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center Hospice.
Three (3) continuing education credits will be granted by the Hospice Foundation of America for a wide range of professions at an online processing fee of $15 until April 24, 2014, with a $5 charge for each additional certificate requested. After this date, the continuing education fee is $25 until April 9, 2015. A professional board license number is required for online credits.
To register for this program, arrange for continuing education credits or to receive more information, contact Sally Lavery, CRAHEC coordinator, at 330-244-3293 or email@example.com.

A few days ago my ps3 power cord went ape shit on me. Here's what happen I had a ps3 power cord that has a shortage in it. So if I bump or move my ps3 slightly the power would cut off. I've been meaning to replace it but never got around to it. So a few days ago I was playing Street Fighter: 3rd strike, and the power to my ps3 went off by itself.
I didn't bump or move my ps3 it just went off. Then I smelled smoke and my ps3 burst out with sparks everywhere. It was like firecrackers had been lit in my room. I was afraid that my ps3 was going to explode or if my room was going to catch on fire. So I yanked the power cord off my ps3, and threw it in the sink in my bathroom I put water on the cord so it can stop smoking.
After the smoking stopped I looked at my power cord, and it was burnt to a crisp. In all my years of gaming I never seen a power cord to a console. Burst out with sparks like firecrackers. I hope I never go through that again with any console. But anyway have you had something similar like this happen to you?

AFTER SELLING HIS SHARES in both Simpatica, the incredibly popular catering company and supper club in Southeast Portland, and Viande Meats & Sausage in Nob Hill's City Market, seasoned chef JOHN GORHAM set out to invigorate the Spanish food scene in Portland. After a trip to Catalonia early this year, Gorham opened Toro Bravo (see p. 96) in a dramatic red-walled dining room just off NE MLK Jr Blvd, and since Toro Bravo's debut, he's managed to redefine tapas in our city. Using the freshest ingredients that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, Gorham reinterprets such Spanish classics as paella, tortilla Española and papas bravas, and throws in more eclectic dishes like smoked pork shoulder with heirloom tomatoes or a sherried chicken-liver mousse. In doing so, he simultaneously draws upon the signature down-home, urban-rustic flair that he's cultivated by cooking in restaurants as far away as Ghana and North Carolina and as close by as San Francisco and Eugene. We're just lucky he finally ended up here.
You've described your restaurant as serving "Spanish-inspired" tapas. Why not just call it a Spanish
Because I'm not Spanish, and I don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to replicate an experience they had in Spain. One thing I learned in Berkeley, when I helped Jean-Pierre Moulle [former executive chef of Chez Panisse] open Caffe Centro, was to take your local ingredients and try to cook the way a person from another region would cook if they were transplanted to your region.
But you did go to Spain to do research before opening Toro Bravo, right? How long were you there?
Just a week.
Was it your first time?
Yes. My wife and I just stayed in Barcelona. We ate 10 meals a day for seven days straight.
Were there any restaurants there that blew you away?
Cal Pep was phenomenal—it was tapas, but it wasn't everyone else's tapas. There was a frito mixto with sardines, langoustines, anchovies and calamari that was just so simple. There was also a place in the Boqueria market where we got the inspiration for our eggplant with sweet pepper lamb ragout. We went to Con Costa, right on the water, which is famous for its paella and fideo [paella made with noodles].
How long did it take you to perfect your paella and fideo?
I've been passionate about paella for a long time, so the one I do now, I've done for many years. But I think I made the fideo 50 times at home before it worked.
If you'd never been to Spain before last year, how did you get the idea to open a Spanish restaurant?
I started thinking about it when I was working in the Bay Area in 1999. I was friends with Chris Rossi, who opened À Côté, a French tapas-style restaurant, and saw how much fun it was. Last year, for Simpatica's supper club, I started playing around with tapas dinners—and they were a hit.
That might explain why you've had such a loyal following since opening Toro Bravo.
Something we did on purpose was keep our reasonable price point. We wanted to give people really good food for way less than you can get at other restaurants and to give them a new experience.
What ingredients have you been working with these days that you're excited about?
I'm getting ready to case a bunch of boudins blancs [white sausages], and we'll serve those with braised cabbage and chanterelles. As we get more comfortable, we're pushing the charcuterie further.
What was your first restaurant job?
When I was 14, I worked as a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant in Savannah, Ga. During the interview, I told the owner that I wanted to be a chef. Then I got a job putting pigs on a barbecue pit in Greenville, NC. When we moved to Virginia, I enrolled in a culinary program in high school.
So, your family moved a lot?
My dad was a corporate manager for the Kroger grocery chain in the Southeast. He'd move us around and open and close and remodel stores from Virginia to the Florida border.
Did you eat out a lot as a family?
A lot. Family-style restaurants, mostly. When we lived in Savannah and Myrtle Beach, SC, there was a lot of good seafood, and my parents loved that, so we went to fish houses.
Which Portland chefs have influenced you over the years?
Definitely Vitaly Paley. We're really good friends. My wife was the floor manager there for four years. When I first came here in 2000 and started working for Fratelli, and then Tuscany Grill, Vitaly set me up with a lot of the farmers he used.
Paley's Place was recently featured in yet another article about Portland's food scene in the New York Times. Why do you think that newspaper loves Portland so much?
It's funny. A lot of New York chefs I've cooked with miss that heart-and-soul of cooking that Portland has. We're not trying to make it something that it's not. It's rustic.
Your restaurant is definitely rustic. Are you interested at all in doing anything fancier down the road?
No. I am who I am. I like working with farmers. I've always been a purist. I don't like tweaking things out. Combinations go together for a reason. I'm at a point in my life where I'm kind of done playing with food.

Loosening these two bolts will drop the hood where it needs to be. There is quite a bit of adjustment in these hinges so care must be taken so that the front of the hood doesn't take a nose dive before tightening these bolts. You will really need an extra set of hands when adjusting the hood.
This is the final point of adjustment for the hood. Pull the rubber stopper off, loosen the 1/2-inch nut, and turn the screw up or down so that the hood just touches the rubber when closed.
The grille was originally secured with rivets, but because we will be removing the grille again in the near future for paint, we used screws for a temporary fix. Who knows, we may just keep the screws for final assembly as it makes removal and installation much easier.
This is how the Totally Stainless body bolt kit comes. It may be hard to see in this photo, but all hardware is separated and labeled in different bags for no assembly confusion. Opening this box of hardware is like a dream come true. No more back-and-forth trips to the parts store for nuts and bolts. This is something everyone building a car should consider spending money on.

Free union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. (August 2013)
This article is about a union between two persons that has no religious or civil recognition. For the village of Free Union, Virginia, see Free Union, Virginia.
A free union is a union between two persons that lacks any publicly recognised bond (either civil or religious marriage).[1]
Roman Catholic criticism[edit]
The expression "free union" includes situations such as concubinage, rejection of marriage as such, or inability to make long-term commitments.[2] According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, being in a "free union" is a grave offence against the dignity of marriage,[3] which it sees as a Sacrament.[4]

Research Opportunities
Resources and opportunities abound at Stanford, giving you the chance to turn the questions that kept you up last night into the way the world will live and think tomorrow.
Stanford is a laboratory for exploring and analyzing the most pressing issues facing our society. As an undergraduate, you will not be pushed out of the way by the major research that is done at Stanford—you will become a part of it.
Whether you join an existing project or create a new one, Stanford's commitment to undergraduate research has two goals: the creation of knowledge that transforms the real world and the fostering of satisfying, intellectually exciting partnerships between faculty and students.
Departmental Research
Over 30 of Stanford's departments and programs sponsor undergraduate research programs that provide financial support for students to work with Stanford professors on faculty-designed research projects. Most of these programs take place over the 10-week summer session. Several departments and programs also sponsor research opportunities during the regular academic year.
More Information about Departmental Research
Faculty Research
The Undergraduate Advising and Research office administers a grant program to support faculty in their research with undergraduates. Both individual faculty members and departments may submit proposals for grant funding to support undergraduate participation in faculty-led research. Grant programs aim to facilitate faculty-student research partnerships at all stages of a student's development and to achieve maximum mutual benefit to students and faculty.
Independent Research
Independent research is one of the most valuable experiences you can pursue as a Stanford undergraduate. Whether your Stanford education leads you to graduate school, a business environment or the non-profit world, the process of articulating a research goal, designing a plan of action and sharing your results with a larger audience will develop skills that continue to serve you throughout your professional life.
More Information about Independent Research
Honors Programs
Each academic department and interdisciplinary program develops its own honors program requirements and criteria and all undergraduate honors programs have a faculty member who oversees honors majors.
Stanford also offers programs for which you do not need to be a major in order to complete honors work. These non-major honors programs include Education, Goldman Honors (in Environmental Science, Technology and Policy), Feminist Studies, the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Interschool Honors Program in International Security Studies, Ethics in Society, Latin American Studies and Science, Technology and Society.

He grew up a homeless urchin in the streets until he was adopted by his foster father into the Iron Throne. He studied the art of intimidation, the cruelest and most brutal styles of combat, in order to become a Deathbringer that could paralyze an opponent in melee through fear alone...as well as sometimes killing the most powerful of opponents in a single, massive blow. Sarevok had an ambition that did not die even when his body did...as you well know, now.

Sarevok looks down upon the body, eyes glowing, and the blood from the body flows around the game's logo. The man he kills is presumably another Bhaalspawn.Sarevok is the main villain in Baldur's Gate, but the protagonist does not know his identity for quite a while. He appears briefly in BGII: Shadows of Amn, as a wrathful ghost that challenges you in hell, and in BG II: Throne of Bhaal, he is resurrected with the aid of Imoen or yourself, and can be recruited into your party as a powerful warrior.Powers and abilitiesIn Throne of Bhaal, Sarevok is a Deathbringer, a warrior with special abilities. He can paralyze his opponents by merely gazing at them, and there is a 3% chance that any blow he strikes is a Deathbringer Assault, inflicting up to 200 points of damage on his target.In Baldur's Gate, Sarevok sported a massive set of spiked armor, and wielded a powerful twohanded sword. Both sword and armor were powered by his Bhaalspawn essence, but when he was killed in Baldur's Gate, the armor faded away with him. His sword can be retrieved in the starting dungeon in Shadows of Amn, and was evidently kept as a trophy by the protagonist, but the sword, too, has lost much of the power that it once had.Sarevok's one characteristic visual trait is eyes that glow with a golden sheen. Judging by his portrait in Throne of Bhaal, he kept that glow after resurrection, even though he lost the divine essence that once fueled it. StatsSarevok has by far the most impressive stats of all the npcs; even the protagonist is usually hard pressed to match him:Strength: 18/00Dexterity: 17Constitution 18Intelligence 17Wisdom 10Charisma 15Nice to know...When Sarevok initially joins the party, his alignment is Chaotic Evil, but through dialogues with the protagonist he can be changed to a Chaotic Good outlook. This change will not only affect his response to the party's reputation, but will also change his dialogues with the rest of the party as well as his reactions to situations the party encounters. The dialogues with the protagonist are triggered at random, and will only appear if Sarevok is not forced to swear a geas when he first joins the party. David Gaider´s Ascension mod changes the dialogue trigger from random to set events that take place at certain points of the game.It is possible to dual class Sarevok into a mage or a thief, but considering his very high starting fighter level, dual classing him is of dubious value.Sarevok's voice is provided by Kevin Michael Richardson.

Can you give me any background information on the photo you posted on this memorial, such as where you obtained it? Laura Beer is my husband's great-grandmother, but we have little info about her. Thanks!

Please do not use flowers to post biographical information. The memorial manager is unlikely to see it and it is against the guidelines of the site. When submitted to admins for removal, the information is lost. Please use the Edit tab on the memorial to submits additional information and corrections. Anything that can got in the first five options should be included there. Thanks.

New urbanists, fire officials join in quest for narrow streets and effective emergency response
Follow progress of CNU, partners at cnu.orgSubmitted on 05/8/2008. Tags for this image:
After years of often finding themselves on opposite sides of disagreements about street design approvals, new urbanists and members of the fire service gathered in Austin just before the start of CNU XVI and discovered they have more in common than many first thought.
Twenty-five participants – fire marshals, civil and traffic engineers, planners, and researchers – discussed and debated the intricacies of urban street design and emergency response in a two-day workshop April 1-2. The workshop, "Smart Growth Streets and Emergency Response," was the first public step in a multi-year effort by CNU and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reconcile the essential new urbanist need for narrow, pedestrian-friendly streets and the goal of emergency service providers for fast response times.
CNU has opened a new door to learn more: The Emergency Response & Street Design Initiative page at CNU's website. The page contains an overview of the project, a summary of the workshop's key findings, links to its presentations and links to other resources, and contact information.
Tim Torma, acting director of the EPA's Development, Community and Environment Division (also known as the agency's Smart Growth Office, said the workshop was "a good first step overall."
"We left with a better understanding of each other, and they have a better understanding of why insisting on wide streets is problematic not only from the perspective of how a community looks and feels, but also from a safety standpoint," Torma said.
Lieutenant Frank Nause, a firefighter/paramedic and assistant fire marshal with Chesterfield County (Va.) Fire & EMS, agreed. "We all want the same thing, it's just a matter of how we're going to achieve that goal," he said.
Participants spent day one discussing street networks, design, width and safety; and firefighting equipment, tactics and strategies. Day two covered building design issues. Breakout groups debated performance measures and tried to imagine what a "universal" emergency response, traffic, safety, and sustainability code might look like.
The workshop, moderated by Jim Charlier, president of Charlier Associates, Inc., concluded by developing a list of shared values upon which all participants broadly agreed:
- Life safety is important, should be inclusive, and extend from fire to traffic.
- We value cost-efficient use of public resources, including property, services and infrastructure.
- We value vibrant places that enhanced pedestrian activity.
- We value communities that include a range of neighborhoods and compatible uses.
- We value streets, structures, and fire protection features that match the context of the neighborhood.
- We value creative collaboration among those who serve and shape the built environment.
- We value ongoing education and capacity-building among those who serve and shape the community.
- We value adoption of life-saving responses due to regional differences.
A ninth value, whose wording remained unresolved at the workshop's end, addressed how code development might be addressed.
"For this project, it's really important that new urbanists and fire marshals work together to create connected street networks," said workshop organizer Patrick Siegman, a transportation planner and principal at Nelson\Nygaard Consulting. He cites the 2000 Raleigh, N.C., study showing a fire station in the most connected neighborhood covers three times more buildings than a station in the least connected neighborhood.
As cooperative as the workshop was, new urbanists also need a better understanding of operational difficulties and hazards, said Capt. Frank Kinnier, an assistant fire marshal with Chesterfield County (VA) Fire & EMS. "I think more time has to be spent with the planners seeing and actually maybe [having them] experiencing some of the things that firefighters have to work with."
John Norquist, CNU's president and CEO, agreed: "Most new urbanists don't know the fire business. We need interaction. We can get useful information to help cities find urbanism-based solutions."

Landau Scrubs move with you all day long. This men's V-neck pullover scrub top has one breast pocket, two lower layered pockets on the left side, and a single pocket with interior cell phone division on the right. It also has a handy locker loop. Made of polyester/cotton.
I Love Landau quality, well worth the price. Terrific fit.
As advertised..great top and fit
These are by far my favorite scrubs. They're lightweight, they seem to breathe better than "vented" ones, they've got lots of pockets, and they are super-soft. I've ordered them on two different occasions now, and wherever my next job is, I'll be ordering them again!
This shirt fits well and it looks good straight out of the dryer. Nice quality.
The Landau Men's 5 pocket scrub to is an excellent buy and product. Love wearing the scrub as it moves with me and fits perfectly. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for quality scrub wear.

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the A's are looking outside the organization for starting pitchers because they don't want to overwork rookies Brett Anderson, Trevor Cahill and Vin Mazzaro. The A's considered going to a six-man rotation, but Justin Duchscherer and Dallas Braden are on the DL. Slusser mentions former A's starter Mark Mulder as a possible addition.

When you first list your home, you seem to hear from your Realtor® all the time. As time goes on, do you find yourself only talking to them when you initiate the call?
This is probably the #1 complaint I hear from owners of unsold homes.
"When we first listed with him, he seemed so excited about our home. Now we only hear from him when he wants to drop the price or if we call him."
In many respects, partnering with a Realtor® to sell your home is like the dating phase of a relationship. Like all relationships, communication is the key to success.
Your Realtor® may be working very hard behind the scenes to get your home sold, but if you never hear from him/her, how are you supposed to know that? Trust will start to dwindle and you may begin to question his/her motivations.
Strong communication is crucial to your success. An effective agent should have a quick and detailed answer to the weekly question of "What have you done for me lately?" Better still, your Realtor® should beat you to the phone and call you every week with a marketing and status update, following up with periodic mailings or emails detailing the activity for your home's listing.
For your part, be sure to let your Realtor® know when you are leaving town and how to get in touch with you. Time is of the essence when an offer does come in for your home.

Celtic began the defence of their Scottish Premiership title with a 3-0 win over St. Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
After a goalless first half, a horror mistake by Saints defender Steven Anderson when he allowed himself to be dispossessed by Kris Commons let Anthony Stokes fire the visitors ahead.
To the anger of the Saints players and fans, skipper Dave Mackay was shown a straight red card in the 75th minute by referee John Beaton for a foul on Hoops substitute Derk Boerrigter inside the box - with Nir Biton converting from the spot-kick as the Perth claims of a dive by the Dutchman continued.
Hoops midfielder Callum McGregor added a third in the 85th minute with a low drive which goalkeeper Alan Mannus should have saved, to compound a miserable night for the Scottish Cup winners.
Partick ensured there would be no repeat of last season's problems at home as they notched an emphatic 4-0 win over Ross County in their opening game of the campaign.
Thistle had been forced to wait until a 3-1 triumph over Aberdeen in February to secure their first league victory at Firhill last term.
But they got off to a flier this time thanks to strikes from Stuart Bannigan, Gary Fraser and Stephen O'Donnell, and a debut own goal by Ben Frempah.
Dundee United chalked up consecutive league victories thanks to substitute Mario Bilate and his timely late winner against Motherwell at Tannadice.
Bilate struck in the 82th minute, meaning Jackie McNamara's side earned a deserved 1-0 win after they had done most of the pressing in the second half.
Kilmarnock suffered defeat in the first match on their artificial pitch as goals from Peter Pawlett and Ryan Jack handed Aberdeen a 2-0 victory, while a strike from Ali Crawford and an unlucky own goal conceded by Marc McAusland earned new boys Hamilton a deserved 2-0 win at St. Mirren.
Elsewhere, Inverness and Dundee played out a stalemate in the Highlands.

Dublin 101: Visiting the Emerald Isle
Cead Mile Failte (Irish for "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes") is the greeting you will receive from many when you arrive in Dublin. And a hundred thousand welcomes you will feel as you begin to explore this amazing city that is the heart and center of Ireland.
When planning a trip to Dublin, be prepared for anything. One second you will find yourself sipping tea in the sun at an outdoor café on Grafton Street, and the next you'll be popping into a pub for a pint and a toasted cheese (grilled cheese sandwich) to avoid the pouring rain. Here is a quick guide of things to do in and around Dublin and a few important facts to know before you arrive.
Things You Can't Miss
Guinness Brewery, St. James's Gate
Take a trip to the Guinness Brewery to learn about the history of this dark, creamy, delicious concoction. With the price of the tour ticket, you'll get two pints — for free! Find out about pouring the perfect pint.
St. Stephan's Green
If the sun comes out, grab a sandwich and head to St. Stephan's Green. It's a great spot to relax and people-watch.
Trinity College
You can't miss Trinity College, the oldest university in Ireland — it's right in the center of town. Housed in the library, you will find the Book of Kells, the famous ninth-century illuminated manuscript.
General Post Office, O'Connell Street
The General Post Office (GPO) was the sight of the April 17, 1916, Easter Rising. On this day, Ireland was first proclaimed a Republic, free from Britain's rule. You can still find bullet holes in the walls.
National Museum of Ireland
A beautiful museum that is home to many Irish masterpieces.
Places to Drink BEER
Okay, now for the important stuff — the pubs! More than just watering holes, Irish pubs are the center of the country's culture. Whether you are a beer drinker or not, you can always find good music and lots of craic (Irish for "fun," pronounced "crack") at any pub, any time of day. Here is a quick list of some favorites.
• O'Donoghue's, 15 Merrion Row
This is the pub of all pubs. It is always packed with people and there is always live Irish music to enjoy. It's smokey. It's quaint. It is Irish.
• The Brazen Head, Bridge Street
This is supposedly the oldest pub in Ireland. It was officially founded in 1668.
• Slattery's, 129 Caple Street
One of the local favorites for watching football (a.k.a. soccer) on Monday nights. Always a good pint and a hot toasted cheese.
• McDaid's, Harry Street
An old literary haunt. Back in the day, McDaid's was a favorite among the likes of Keats, Shaw, Joyce and Beckett.
Thing to Know
- Tipping: It is customary to leave a small tip if you get good service. It is not necessary to leave 15 percent, as in the U.S.
- VAT: This stands for the Value Added Tax. If you buy goods in Ireland, you will be charged an extra 23 percent in tax. But if you keep your receipts, you can claim the 23 percent back at the airport. It takes extra time, but it's worth it.
- Buying Rounds: When you go out with a group of Irish people, each person is expected to buy a round of beer. So if you go out with five people, you will end up drinking five beers (you can always opt for a soda whenever you think you've had enough). Tip: Go out in small groups. If you go out with 10 people, you might end up dragging yourself home.

Addis Ababa — A rebel group has threatened that civil war would occur if the Ethiopian government does not remove troops that it has placed in the Calub and Hilala gas fields in order to safeguard the area for international investors.
On Sunday, a rebel movement called the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) said that "thousands of Ethiopian government troops have been pouring into Ogaden in recent weeks". ONLF has threatened armed conflict should the area not be negotiated into the hands of Somalis living in Ethiopia's Ogaden region.
Meanwhile, India's state-run Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) has sought political clearance to participate in the development of the Calub and Hilala gas fields in Ethiopia. The company, in a joint-venture with GSPC, has been short listed by government.
The rebel group specifically warned several international oil companies who tendered for access to the fields, including Gail, that they would be attacked.
The government, however, believes that there is little merit to the threats. The deployment of troops before international companies, China's Zhongyuan Petroleum Exploration Bureau and Malaysia's Petronas, conduct seismic surveys to verify how much gas is available, suggest otherwise though.

Himalayan Salt Tequila Shot Glassesuser rating
These extraordinary shot glasses have the finely veined, translucent appearance of rose quartz, but actually are carved from the finest quality, food-grade Himalayan pink salt. These glasses naturally add the perfect nuanced salty note to your favorite tequila. No need for messy table salt, just serve with lime wedges for a bite of citrus tartness. And be warned--your shot will get saltier the longer it sits, so drink up. Then wipe dry between each use (to keep a bit of salty brine from forming) and you are ready for another.
Salt is a long-lasting, naturally antibacterial mineral so these glasses require just a little care to become your favorite party starter for years to come.
