About Pork Barrel BBQ
Pork Barrel BBQ was founded in December 2008 during the peak of the economic crisis to prove that a company not owned or operated by the federal government could succeed, and that if you had a good idea, it was still possible to grab a piece of the American Dream. Pork Barrel BBQ founders, Heath Hall and Brett Thompson, ran the company out of the basement of their houses, selling their award winning BBQ products one bottle at a time. In less than one year, their Pork Barrel BBQ Sauces and Spice Rub were carried in over 1,000 stores in 40 states. Throughout their journey, they have stayed true to their mission – to unite the nation through the great tradition of BBQ, and bring bipartisan flavor to your next meal. The Pork Barrel BBQ Competition BBQ Team entered its first contest, The Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle, in June 2009, and walked away with two trophies – Second Place in the "Nations Best BBQ Sauce Contest" and Fourth Place for their pulled pork in the Memphis In May portion of the contest. Since then, the team has won multiple awards, including the 2011 Perdue National Chicken Championship, the Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle in 2011, the "Chinet People's Choice" award for best BBQ sauce in 2010 and other notable Memphis in May and Kansas City Barbecue Society BBQ competition accolades as well as having their Pork Barrel BBQ Original BBQ Sauce named Best Sauce in America and one of "The 125 Best Foods for Men" by Men's Health Magazine in November 2010.

Workouts: Tim Tebow

Tebow Time
Image: Getty Images
That's the mantra Tim Tebow has placed on his wall, poached from a March Madness commercial he watched in the '90s as a kid. In the clip, little kids shot free throws into hoops around the globe, while Duke University men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski narrated the scenes—and spoke straight into Tebow's young, driven soul.
Video: Train Like an NFL Player
Tebow preferred flinging the pigskin to handling the rock, but Coach K's words inspired him all the same: Growing up, he knew he wanted to be a quarterback, and even if coaches told him his body was better suited to being a tight end or linebacker, he'd stop at nothing to meet his goal. Some early critics questioned if Tebow could even play football at all, since he'd been home-schooled by his parents in the suburbs of Jacksonville. But then all he did was propel his town's high school to a state title, receive Florida's Player of the Year honors, and earn a scholarship to play at the University of Florida—as a QB.
Discover how to blast fat and uncover your chiseled core in just 4 weeks!
If you've watched ESPN for even 10 seconds in the last 6 years, you know the rest of Tebow's story by heart: After one of the most brilliant college careers ever (including two national championships at Florida and one Heisman Trophy), Tebow was drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos in 2010, played his way to the starting job in 2011, captured the adoration of fans and the media with a string of thrilling fourth-quarter comebacks, and spawned his own mega-popular meme ("Tebowing") in the process. (Search: Tebowing)
Earlier this year, Denver shipped Tebow to the New York Jets, where he now rides the bench behind an embattled quarterback in Mark Sanchez, waiting for his chance to start and create some more on-field magic. The question isn't if Tebow will take over the reins in the Big Apple this season—it's when.
Free Poster: Sweat, Time, Devotion…
All along the way, Tebow has amassed his fair share of detractors who still say he's not good enough to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. But with every new piece of vitriol heaved in his direction, Tebow has continued to prove his haters wrong. Chalk his success up to dumb luck or divine intervention if you must—Tebow will be waiting for you in the gym logging while you're busy searching for excuses.
11 Fat Bombs of Football Season
Here, in his own words, the Jets quarterback shares some of his tried-and-true success secrets. Want to build a body—and mind—like Tim Tebow? Start by following these rules.

Tiggly was a failure on Kickstarter, but it ultimately found success for its interactive toys in the Apple Store and other retailers. Courtesy photo/Tiggly
The UpTake: When Tiggly's Kickstarter campaign failed in 2012, the interactive toy startup found that exposure on the crowdfunding website helped get its product into the Apple Store and other retailers.
T he co-founder of an interactive toy startup called Tiggly wants to let others in the startup community know that failure is sometimes the best thing that can happen.
Because for Bart Clareman, a Harvard Business School alumnus, and his business partner, Phil Georgiou, not reaching their Kickstarter goal for their product actually worked out in the end. That product is a package of plastic shape toys that toddlers can use to interact with apps on an iPad, blending the physical and digital worlds.
Tiggly, now based in New York City, got its boost during a business plan competition at Harvard in 2012. It ultimately won the school's New Venture Challenge. That was followed by a Kickstarter campaign, which had a goal of $50,000, but raised less than half of that.
For more news from the Boston Business Journal, check out David Harris' work.
"People think about Kickstarter as really kind of binary," said Clareman in an interview recently. "Either you hit your goal and succeed or you fail."
Lucky for Clareman and Georgiou, that campaign was noticed by someone who was looking for a fun, new educational product.
That connection led to another connection: the Apple Store. Tiggly's product, officially launched in 2013, is now available in over 300 Apple Stores, Nordstrom, Learning Express stores, local retailer Magic Beans and other speciality stores around the country.
Clareman said the startup will release a new product this fall that focuses on numbers. The Tiggly shapes package costs $29.95 and comes with four shapes and three free apps available in eight different languages. Additional apps cost $1.99 from the App Store.

Hello friends, I'm extremely sorry for being away for a long time from this blog. I was missing this blog a lot but due to many circumstances I hadn't had time to update this blog. There were many things happened to my life. But Finally, I'm back to the track and will start updating this blog regularly.
What I've been doing??
First of all, let me tell you one thing, I've been a married man now so there are a lot of responsibilities ahead for me. On the other hand, I'd been in Bangalore for last six months working for a start-up company there. And Finally, I've moved back to Kathmandu and started a joint venture with Haico Duisters called Proshore Nepal. It is a Dutch-Nepali company, which has a head office in the Netherlands and development office in Kathmandu.
Apart from personal stuffs, let's talk about technical stuffs.
I've written 5 series of articles about web widgets, how to create them and use them on Packt Publishing . You can check those articles here.
- Development of Web Widget - Introductory article
- Developing a wiki-seek Widget (a widget to search in wikipedia.org)
- Pop-up Image Widget – a widget to show the pop-up image on mouse over event
- RSS Web Widget - A widget to display the titles with link from specified RSS feed
- Delicious Tagometer Widget – A widget to display Tagometer from delicious.com
Furthermore, this blog has also been considered as a 10 Interesting PHP blogs by AjaxLine.A great thank to them for considering this blog to that level.
What's Next??
Well in the last six months, I've been contacted by many people asking what happened to you, when you'll start updating your blog etc. First of all, I would like to thanks those people who has much interest to this blog. My plan will be to post 2 or 3 articles a week and I'll be focusing more on the quality than quantity in upcoming days.
If you really want to be in touch with me then you can follow me on twitter where I post useful web development related stuffs which I find on the web. Believe me, I don't post stuffs like what I'm eating now, what i had for breakfast and what I'll be having for dinner and when I'll be heading for the dinner.

Also, i would like to be able to control the roll over effect and the amount of glow.

Not So Great
When my favorite footbalm disappeared from the shelves I went looking for replacements. So far not found anything that works as well, including this Weleda one. It smells great, and has a thick texture but it does not make my dry, rough skin smooth. It disappears into the skin right away and it feels as if I did not put any product on my feet. The rough skin is still there. I would definitely not buy this item again.
Fragrance and texture.
Disappears too quickly into skin and does not leave feet smooth and soft.

As the rats were learning the task, their brain activity showed bursts of fast gamma waves. Once the rats mastered the task, their brainwaves slowed to almost a quarter of their initial frequency, becoming beta waves. Graybiel's team suspects this transition reflects the point at which learning becomes habit.
Bernard Balleine , a neuroscientist at the University of Sydney, Australia, says the slower brainwaves may be the brain weeding out excess activity to refine behaviour.
Brain tweak turns wimpy mice into dominant leaders (05 October 2011)
Dominant mice can be humbled and wimps made mighty by altering the strength of electrical connections in their brains. The work may reveal mechanisms that dictate social standing in people.
Crucial brain connections directing a mouse's place in the social hierarchy sit in the medial prefrontal cortex. To investigate the mPFC's role in social ranking, Hailan Hu and her colleagues at the Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai first worked out the hierarchy within a group of mice through challenges between pairs in tubes. When the mice came face to face, the subordinate animal would back out of the tube.
The team then injected a virus into some of the mice that inserts a gene into mPFC neurons. The gene amplifies transmission of electrical signals – a key step in strengthening connections. When the tests were repeated, previously subordinate mice that had received the virus became dominant. Likewise, implanting a gene that reduced the strength of connections caused previously dominant mice to become subordinate.
Hu says that the strengthened connections probably enable mice to exert more control over anger, emotion and aggression.

This is the coolest backpack I've ever ridden with! The best part is the tool pouch that is removable. I'm able to fit my whole Cruz tools kit in it with room to spare. When I'm not wearing the backpack, the tool pouch fits perfectly inside a pannier. This backpack is comfortable, and very well thought-out (like everything KLIM). The water bladder even has a dry-break on the hose so you don't get all wet when refilling.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr, right meets with U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi at the foreign ministry in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser)
BEIRUT: U.N. envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi arrives in Beirut Wednesday morning for talks with the top three Lebanese officials on the unrest in Syria, a security source told The Daily Star.
Brahimi will leave later in the evening.
Brahimi, who served as the Arab League Special Envoy for Lebanon in the final stages of the 1975-90 Civil War, has proposed a truce in Syria for the four-day Eid al-Adha holiday to pave the way for a political process.
Brahimi traveled across the region this week to garner support for his proposal.

Watch Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young and Crosby, Stills & Nash cover Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy'Add to Favorites | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
It's always a treat when Jimmy Fallon busts out his Neil Young impression for late-night TV, but it was even more exciting on Monday (July 7) when he was joined by Young's fellow band members David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash for a surprise "Tonight Show" performance.
And what better song to have them sing than a cover of current hit "Fancy" by pop star Iggy Azalea? It's fantastic. Below, watch Crosby, Stills & Nash perform as the musical guests.
The next logical step is that Fallon gets the actual Neil Young to do a duet with his "Neil Young", right? Fingers crossed.

Drexel Fund
Along with several Drexel traditions, homecoming had been lost in the pages of time. In 2009 the Traditions Program, in conjunction with several campus organizations and Drexel administration collaborated to reestablish a homecoming packed with Drexel pride. The new Drexel homecoming connects the Drexel community with events that are geared towards generating fun and camaraderie amongst undergraduates, alumni, family, and staff.
Founder's Day
During the 1950's and '60's, Drexel students and administrators would celebrate the founding of our university. The Traditions Program intends to honor the legacy of our founders once again in an event that will promote the rich history of our university.
Institute Day
In the early 20th century, Drexel students would be honored for their "Drexel Excellence" with the "Detur Award". "Detur" a latin word for "Let it be given" denotes the gift of prestigious books from the university to the award recipient. The set of books was often a print that was difficult to obtain and contained scholastic wealth. This gift was a metaphor and honor to the recipient on behalf of their unique achievement while an undergraduate.
Today, Institute Day is an opportunity for students to recognize each other for Drexel Excellence with the new Detur Award.
Bon Voyage – Senior Send-off
President MacAlister, our institution's first president, would often cancel classes to allow Drexel students to watch war ships set sail. The students would wave their orange Drexel flags, that being the school color during that time, and send-off the ships with well wishes. In honor of this long lost tradition, we have re-established it as the Bon Voyage- Senior Send-Off event. In place of war ships, we honor all seniors as we celebrate their tremendous accomplishment.
For more information on the inaugural event click here
Alumni Legacy Dinner
This new tradition is an effort of the Traditions Program to reconnect with Drexel's forgotten heritage. Launched in 2008, the Alumni Legacy Dinner is an opportunity for Drexel undergraduates and alumni to comfortably share stories of the unique heritage that has shaped the Drexel experiences of our participating alumni. With the direct knowledge of Drexel history that is gained during this event, the Traditions Program is better equipped to revive and connect our past with our future.

Peter Spacek's foray into the world of greeting cards began as many new business ventures do — with frustration over what was already available.
Spacek, an illustrator and cartoonist who once worked as a freelancer for Hallmark, is also an avid surfer, so he was always on the lookout for cards with a beach theme. You could say he wasn't much impressed by what he found in the stores.
"The jokes were crap most of the time. I just thought I could do better myself," he recalls. "Plus I realized there was nothing for beach people that wasn't hokey and bogus."
Spacek understands beach culture. He grew up in Santa Barbara, California and moved to New York in the 1980s after college where he worked as an art director in advertising and as a freelance illustrator. Though his career flourished in the city, Spacek longed for the wave action of his home state.
"When I first came to New York, I heard about Montauk and the East End," recalls Spacek. "It looked California like — with a rocky point and good looking waves. I thought, 'Maybe I can do this New York thing if I have this to go to every once in a while.' Finally I moved here full time in 1995."
Spacek lives in Springs now and though he began creating greeting cards for friends years ago, his first serious attempt at marketing his work came in the late 1980s when he submitted a design to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) for their Christmas collection. The card featured Santa running toward the surf with a board over his head and a reindeer sitting on top.
"I submitted it on a whim because they would look at anyone's stuff and I decided to try and see if they would put it in their collection ," says Spacek. "I thought maybe this is viable."
Viable it was, and MoMA sold the card in its gift shop for a number of years. But despite that initial success, Spacek didn't immediately move forward with his own design business.
"Friends loving my cards emboldened me, but I didn't do anything about it for a long time," recalls Spacek.
Then the surfing craze hit the East End and it became a matter of public safety.
"Eight years ago or so, it suddenly took off and there were so many people in Montauk surfing who didn't know what they were doing, it was crazy," says Spacek. "There was no surf etiquette."
So Spacek decided to write and illustrate a pocket guide on the dos and don'ts of surfing. He called the booklet "Wetiquette" and touted it as a practical guide to educating beginners on acceptable practices and common courtesy in the surf.
"I printed 5,000 copies and didn't know what to do with it," says Spacek. "I was told to go to the surf expo and sell it there. I didn't know what I was doing at all. I had to come up with a company, so I called it Ditch Ink — after Ditch Plains. Then I thought, 'Am I just going to show up with this brochure and pay money to rent a space?'"
It seemed like a lot of effort for one single product. Then Spacek remembered his greeting cards. He came up with a dozen or so surf themed designs, had them printed up and headed off to the surf show.
"I just went for it," says Spacek. "Wetiquette was well received, but the cards even more so."
Spacek found that surf shops on both the West and East Coast were receptive to his work and they bought his cards to put in their stores. But Spacek soon realized that in order to really reach the card buying market, he needed to attend the annual stationery show in New York City and get his designs into stores where the bulk of greeting cards are purchased.
"If it's a surf shop that's family friendly, they do well. It's the women who still buy the cards for husbands, boyfriends and kids," explains Spacek. "The young surfers will just download something from the Internet or send an email, so it's got to be that kind of family friendly surf shop."
"The card stores do better business," he adds. "Some supermarkets on the West Coast sell them, and organic beachy cafés and coffee shops — different venues than I originally thought."
Spacek's Christmas card designs include reindeer cutting loose from the sleigh for quick ride on the waves, a paddle boarding Santa with a stack of reindeer supporting a bathing beauty on top, and a peace sign created by a series of surfers riding their boards.
But it's not just Christmas that is represented in the Ditch Ink line. Spacek covers all the major themes and sentiments in his cards — birthdays, anniversaries, party announcements, thank yous and any other reason people choose to send cards. And it's not just limited to surfing anymore either.
"People said, 'Finally, there were cards made by a surfer for beach people that weren't lame,'" says Spacek. "It just went from there and every year I add a dozen cards."
"I'm spreading out to beach people. It used to be cards for the water wise, now it's cards for the beach person," he says. "I've branched out into fishing, boating and sailing, and other beach themes."
Now that he's been doing this for a while, Spacek has come to understand that good ideas and funny illustrations don't necessarily result in cards that the general public will want to buy. If the card's reference is too specific or obscure, it may be a design that ultimately isn't marketable. It's all based on striking the right tone and like any good businessman, Spacek is always on the lookout for what he might want to add to his repertoire.
"I'll think, 'I need a birthday card for a woman,' or 'I need a birthday card for an old guy,'" he says. "Sometimes I'll walk through card shops and consider how I can make a beach card for the graduate."
"At first, I wasn't paying as much attention to the writing as the picture. One thing I have learned is you can't just be clever," he adds. "You have to sell a sentiment. If a card is complimentary it's good and if it cuts down in a funny and cute way, that's good too. You're the go between for this person and the other person."
Now that he has gained a reputation as the maker of cutting edge cards for the beach-going community, Spacek is getting some attention from bigger retailers. But he is treading carefully where Ditch Ink is concerned.
"When people find my cards in a small shop, they think they've discovered something," explains Spacek. "It's like someone from my tribe is getting it. I don't need to make this huge. It's been fun. I really enjoy it…and it's paying the cable bill."
And it turns out that Spacek, who always considered himself an artist, is not bad at writing jokes either.
"If it makes me laugh I'll do it," he says. "A nice drawing is good, but I'm a sucker for a gag."

By JAY REED
My wife has done a study (mostly of me) and reached the conclusion that Mississippians have a natural knack for finding each other.
We have traveled the world together and everywhere we go I find someone from Mississippi. In a European airport I pointed to someone and said, "I think I went to high school with that guy" – and I had. I wore an Ole Miss t-shirt the day we visited the Louvre in Paris, and was flagged down by a Mississippi journalist whose columns I knew well. Whenever I meet a Mississippian on another continent or in another county, it does not take me long to figure out how many degrees of relationship we are from each other. In business lingo I suppose I would be called a consummate networker –in culinary terminology one could say I like to try new people, like trying a new dish.
The second full day of the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium gave me lots of opportunity to do both. The vision of the SFA is to "set a common table where black and white, rich and poor -- all who gather -- may consider our history and our future in a spirit of reconciliation." We did that on a beautiful fall Saturday in Oxford, around three amazing tables. The networker in me … ate it up.
Breakfast was almost recognizable: biscuits nearly the diameter of a coffee can, available in two varieties (of course I tried both): sweet potato or yam. I still would be hard-pressed to define the distinction between these tubers, but at least I have learned that there is. Sandwiched in each biscuit was a big piece of pork sausage, dressed with pepper jelly. I shared breakfast standing at a tall outdoor table with a social psychologist from New Orleans and a retired couple from North Carolina – all of us simply fascinated with food. I was so enamored with these biscuits that I picked up a jar of Five-Pepper Jelly from the MAFES store a week later, and cannot wait to pair it in a biscuit made with the Vardaman sweet potatoes in my cupboard.
Lunchtime brought another interesting group to my table. A family from New Orleans helped me understand the ceviche I was about to dive into. I knew ceviche involved raw seafood of some sort, but I had envisioned a fishy version of the cold Spanish gazpacho soup. I am thankful to report that I was terribly wrong! It did have a variety of seafood, pickled in a marinade that essentially made it taste cooked, as well as three kinds of corn: roasted kernels from Peru, old-fashioned hominy, and little bits of popcorn sprinkled on top. This was the second time over the weekend that I had eaten delicious, fresh, oil-free shrimp from the Mississippi Gulf coast. The main dish was braised oxtail stew over gnocchi. There was only one problem with this dish: I didn't have a piece of bread to sop up every last drop of the sauce. I think it would have been rude to lick my plate in front of the professional food writer to my right.
The evening brought the most bizarre taco night I had ever experienced. I happened to pass by the barbecue pit the night before and had seen the whole skinned cow's head perched on the edge – apparently they didn't have enough room for that one in the coals. So I learned a little Spanish – barbacoa de cabeza had been advertised and I had not bothered to ask. Barbacoa was enough for me. I didn't need a long Spanish lesson to figure out that cabeza translates: "head". I had tasted meat from the head of a goat a few years back, and found it quite tender and tasty, so that did not overly alarm me. The chefs here transformed the cabeza into a terrific taco, and gave me a refreshing glass of citrus-mint sweet tea to wash it down. So far this day was a winner, heads or tails.
Jim and Nick's Barbecue was serving three kinds of barbecue tacos: whole hog, goat, and tongue. Their slogan was, "First we send him to heaven, then we send you there." The line was so long, and I was so busy networking with a group of cookbook publishers, that by the time we made it to the end only the whole hog was left. I am certainly not one to complain about having to eat at any level of the pork pyramid, but I was totally disappointed that I had missed the goat and tongue. Thank goodness, my new pal from the local arts council told me about a taco shop down the street and I was able to answer the tongue question a couple of weeks later. Choose your favorite joke here: 1. It was the taco that tasted back. 2. It had me till it said hello. 3. A taco that could lick its own plate clean. The first few bites were great – it had the texture and appearance of a Sunday roast. Then I decided to open it up and take a closer look. Big mistake. Ironically, I had heard Alton Brown say on Iron Chef America the week before that taste buds never really break down, no matter how long they are cooked. He was right. I have not yet decided if I ever need to have another, but I can testify that at least once I have tamed the tongue.

"Have a non-alcoholic brew. Don't cost you nothing."
George W. Bush is Bluto Blutarsky and Dick Cheney is Dean Vernon Wormer in the Bush administration's version of "Animal White House."
According to a new tell-all behind-the-scenes book at the Bushy years, "Speech-less", author Matt Latimer, a low-level speech writer for the former president, said the White House was run more like a frat house.
"I pledge allegiance to the White House frat
to promise to do this and then do that.
and to the Republicans for dodging issues 'cos it's all baloney —-
one nation, under one God, taking liberties with torture, and getting justice for our cronies."
Apparently, W. didn't have many good things to say about the people who were going to occupy the Oval Office after his term thankfully came to an end.
Democrats and Republicans took an equal amount of lampooning from the man who single-handedly made lampooning by others an art form.
W. thought Hillary Clinton was going to get elected and reportedly remarked "Wait till her fat [expletive deleted] sits behind this desk."
Bill and Hillary Clinton are Boon and Katie, the college sweethearts torn between Katie wanting Boon to be a serious student so one day he can become president and pave the way for her to be the first female president, and Boon just wanting to party with the Deltas, scoring with the babes, getting drunk and smoking pot but not inhaling.
W. also took aim at then-candidate Barack Obama, calling him "A cat with no clue." You might think W. was channeling the late, great Sammy Davis Jr. talking such urbanese.
Barack Obama is Otis Day of Otis Day and the Knights, who sings "I Make Republicans Want To Shout" at the Bush White House toga party, held in conjuction with the visit by Pope Benedict XVI.
Bush showed no mercy when it came to John McCain's selection of Sarah "Death Panels" Palin as his running mate.
W. said she wasn't even remotely prepared for the office she might obtain. Then he added, "What is she, the governor of Guam?"
Hokey-smokes, W. is beginning to look like it stands for Wise.
McCain stars as Mayor Carmine DePasto, who convinces the president to buy one of his Oldsmobiles because General Motors —- which will always be fundamentally sound —- will never put the Olds out to pasture.
Sarah Palin is Mandy Pepperidge, the hot cheerleader with many beauty pageant titles already under her belt.
Mandy is secretly in love with the ladies man of the frat house, Otter, played by South Carolina Gov. Mark "Love your tan lines" Sanford.
Comedy ensues when the two are caught hiking the Old Appalachian Trail by Mandy's impotent suitor Greg Marmalade, who doesn't believe in pre-marital sex and takes his mind off of doing the dirty deed by manufacturing ways of getting back at Otter.
Cast in the role of Gregg: GOP House Minority Wimp, er, Whip John Boehner.
In the book, Bush finally took some responsibility. "I re-defined the Republican Party," he said to no one in particular.
This gets Dean Wormer riled up, thinking that Bluto is actually smartening up. He wants to keep the frat boy away from the important stuff.
So Dean Wormer enlists the war-monger, eternal sergeant at arms himself Douglas C. Nedemeyer (played by former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge) to roll into action.
Nedemeyer creates a color chart to inform people of terror alert stages, which keeps Bluto mesmerized for the duration of his presidency.
The end credits show what happened to the players, because a good cast is worth repeating:
Dean Wormer went on to become a Realtor who sells unseen undisclosed locations to frightened people who he convinces will be in harm's way and live in a country that will be attacked again because he's no longer in power.
Carmine DePasto went on to run General Motors, AIG and an Indian casino in Temeculah.
Otter eventually got married, got elected as a governor, cheated on his wife and went to Argentina during Father's Day weekend and got it on with a hot babe. You can't make this stuff up.
Boon and Katie are still together until both of them get to serve as president. Or until they both get caught with their pantsuits down.
Bluto got to retire at a relatively young age. He gets to ride his dirt bike a lot. Wants to write his memoirs. Works a lot with a gay interior decorator who has fabulous ideas for the Incompetence Wing of his presidential library.
Every once in a while he thinks about his hero, the little-known philosopher Emile Faber.
It was Faber's words Bluto always thought got him to the highest peak of any profession: "Knowledge is good."
To which W. would often add: "But too much thinkin' ain't as good as gettin' stinkin.'"

Squalid Living Conditions
Guest workers are frequently required to live in squalor. Many find themselves held virtually captive by employers or labor brokers who seize their documents, restrict their movements, extort payments from them and threaten them with arrest and deportation if they attempt to escape.
There are currently no federal regulations governing the conditions of labor camps or housing for non-agricultural H-2 guest workers, and housing often lacks even basic necessities, such as beds, adequate toilets and cooking facilities.

1/4 cup

1/2 cup

1 clove
garlic, minced
3 cups
chicken broth
2 cups
chopped artichoke hearts
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon

lemon, halved
3 cups
half and half
We loved the taste of this soup. However putting it through the blender was a big mistake. We all agreed that it ruined the texture. I will make it again, but will not puree this soup. I think I will even add some spinach leaves and some rotisserie chicken chunks next time.
Too lemony for me, but my luncheon guest loved it.
26 Ratings
Luxurious, delicious soup. Fine texture, keeps you coming back for more. Perfect for a special occasion. I followed the recipe exactly as stated and it turned out great.
Absolutely delicious! I used jarred artichoke hearts and strained the soup after blending but before adding half and half. Velvety texture and no strings!
Excellent! I used 3-4 minced cloves of garlic instead of the one, and I used fat-free half and half. Second time I made this, I made dumplings and cooked them in the boiling soup. EVEN BETTER!
Yum!!! I made it for 4 instead of 8 and followed the proportions pretty closely. I used a can of artichoke hearts (15 oz or so) and chopped them. 1 can of chicken broth (again, 14 or 15 oz). Before I added the cream, I threw in about 3/4 cup water. I used only 1 cup of half and half instead of the 1.5 it called for because I wanted it lighter in calories. Excellent flavor! The lemon is key. Don't try to use packaged lemon juice. Go for the real thing. Refreshing!
Very good, will definitely make again. However it wasn't as thick as I thought it would be. Maybe next time I'll use fat free sour cream or just a potato to thicken it up.
This was one of the most delicious soups I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot of soups! I substituted homemade vegetable stock to make it vegetarian, and also added about 1/2 cup extra artichoke hearts. I will be making this again and again and again!

yeah, but if we took your advice and did not post unless we had "personally" tested stuff,
most forums on modaco and xda would be missing a lot of goodies for people like your self to enjoy
for instance the Gingerbread ROM AtomicMod i made when the G300 first came out (extended power menu, CM power widgets)
and the recent guide for the extended power menu, and CM power widgets on ICS
all of witch i could not test my self, but the community did and is now benefiting from
anyway if you search around xda everyone is having the same problem with the new drives (boot loop)
no one has actually getting them to work yet, and are starting to think its a problem on qaulcomm's part ???

Chemists in California have identified and synthesised a complex sugar molecule which lies on the surface of white blood cells, and through which the cells 'recognise' those blood vessels that lie near injured tissue. While this recognition is essential for repairing the body, it can result in too many white blood cells invading an organ and damaging it. The researchers say that injecting the sugar molecule could limit such damage.
The sugar molecule attaches itself to a protein called E-selectin, which is produced on the surface of blood vessels near damaged tissue. This triggers the blood vessel to expand, allowing other white blood cells to pass into the damaged tissue and mop up intruding bodies.
The molecule is made up of four linked sugar rings

A Season to Remember
Feb. 21, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. - All Jim Valvano said he needed for the 1988-89 basketball season was a few good men.
He proved it on a snowy afternoon in Atlanta, when ice and freezing rain stranded a portion of his team at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport on a day the Wolfpack was scheduled to play Georgia Tech in Atlanta. After two charter flight cancellations and some crafty travel agent work, Valvano found 14 seats on a mid-morning commercial flight for a 12:15 p.m. nationally televised game against the 13th-ranked Yellow Jackets.
Nine players, dressed in their uniforms and warm-ups with their ankles taped, boarded the flight, along with Valvano, a couple of assistants and a trainer. It put wheels down 25 minutes before the scheduled tip-off. Because of the circumstances, the ACC and television network allowed the game to start nearly 20 minutes after the scheduled tip-off.
It was the perfect Fire & Ice kind of day, and the Wolfpack pulled off a remarkable 71-69 upset of the Yellow Jackets, thanks to a pair of Rodney Monroe free throws in the waning seconds.
"The odds were stacked completely against him and there was no reason to think after all we had been through, not just that game, but that season, that we would be ready to play," said Chris Corchiani, then a sophomore point guard. "No one thought we could win, under those circumstances.
"But Coach V loved it. He kept saying, `We're just like the Marines all we need is a few good men.' And, to tell the truth, that's why we all had come to NC State to play for him. He thrived on those situations and he made us thrive on them too."
Few teams in ACC history endured more and still thrived the way the 1988-89 Wolfpack team did. It was a team that didn't have great expectations when the season started, but came within one ill-timed traveling call from the NCAA East Regional championship and the chance to return to the Final Four.
After winning 12 of its first 13 games, the Pack was ranked as high as No. 13 in the nation, though it was hardly the most talented team Valvano ever fielded.
"Our sum is better than its parts," he said.
One of those wins, over Temple in Reynolds Coliseum on Jan. 6, 1989, was the turning point of the season and the future of NC State basketball.
Valvano's team beat John Chaney's unranked Owls, 71-59, but the impressive nationally televised victory was overshadowed by two things: the debut of Nike's uniform of the future, the Unitard, and a front-page newspaper story about the upcoming release of a book called "Personal Fouls: The Broken Promises and Shattered Dreams of Big Money Basketball at Jim Valvano's North Carolina State.
Though the most outrageous allegations were eventually discredited, Valvano admitted he was in a deep funk, hardly the wise-cracking, ebullient personality NC State fans had known and loved for nine years. So he closed ranks, pulled his team together and concentrated on succeeding on the court.
"The players have been my support system," Valvano said. "When adversity hit, they were my comfort."
It wasn't always easy, even with his few good men. Valvano called on Corchiani to run the ultimate junk defense on center Tom Hammonds to beat the No. 19 Yellow Jackets in Reynolds Coliseum and pulled off the unlikely upset in Atlanta a month later. The Pack had a home-and-home splits with North Carolina and Duke, both of which were ranked in the top 15 all season long.
An 86-65 loss at Duke put a dent in its ACC title hopes, but a quadruple-overtime marathon win over Wake Forest, the longest game ever played between ACC teams, in the final contest in the old configuration of the Greensboro Coliseum left the Wolfpack by itself at the top of the ACC standings for the first time since 1974.
Though it was a bit undersized, Valvano's team was consistent throughout the season. It was the only squad in his 10-year tenure to be ranked in the top 20 all season long. Led by senior forward Chucky Brown, juniors Brian Howard and Avie Lester and the sophomore tandem of Corchiani and Monroe, the Pack surprised its deep and talented opposition. Its bench consisted of senior Kelsey Weems, junior Brian D'Amico, junior college transfer Mickey Hinnant, senior Kenny Poston and freshmen Tom Gugluotta, Jamie Knox, David Lee and Byron Tucker.
It was one of the most prolonged races in ACC history, decided on the last day of the regular-season. That year, the ACC had four ranked teams, sent six teams to the NCAA Tournament and advanced four to the Sweet 16.
It was a season of upsets and miracles, not the least of which was a desperation jumper by Monroe off an intentionally missed free throw that allowed the Wolfpack to force the first of four overtimes against the Demon Deacons.
The Pack also suffered at least one unlikely upset, losing 72-49 to last-place Maryland in the first round of the ACC Tournament in Atlanta. The win was so shocking, Terrapin coach Bob Wade collapsed in the lockerroom afterwards and had to be rushed to the hospital.
In the NCAA Tournament, Monroe had one of the best performances of his record-breaking career by scoring 40 points in a double-overtime victory against Iowa in Providence, R.I., a win that sent the Wolfpack to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the last seven years.
Facing top-seeded and second-ranked Georgetown, State was down by 16 points in the second half, but a tussle between junior center Avie Lester and Georgetown's Alonzo Mourning sparked a Wolfpack comeback with 12 unanswered points. Part of Monroe's 22 second-half points came on a three-point play that narrowed the margin to 46-42.
With three minutes to play, Mourning had four fouls and Corchiani had the ball. He drove from the wing inside and put a shot up over Mourning. The ball went into the basket, the whistle sounded and the 19,508 fans at Brendan Byrne Arena went silent as Corchiani prepared to go to the free-throw line for the tying point.
The and-one shot never happened. Veteran ACC official Rick Hartzell called Corchiani for traveling and waved off the basket. Georgetown scored on its next possession and the Wolfpack eventually lost 69-61. While CBS's Billy Packer said it was "the worst call in the history of the NCAA Tournament" and Hartzell later admitted he missed the call, Valvano and his players said the decision was "unfortunate" and accepted that their season of trial and triumph had ended.
"I've gotten more out of this team than any other that I have coached," Valvano said. "We were not the best team in the conference by a long shot, but for 14 games we were focused on one thing, and we accomplished that (by winning the ACC regular-season championship).
"If it's possible to have something good come out of this adversity, it's the closeness we felt as a team. I don't think I have ever been prouder of any team I ever coached."

Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
The European Commission is getting active in the world of accelerators and startups—announcing a new network of 20 programs including recognized leaders like Nesta, Seedcamp, TechStars London, Startup Weekend, Bethnel Green Ventures and Seed-DB. The Accelerator Assembly, backed by the EC as part of its Startup Europe initiative, is focused on improving the environment for web-based entrepreneurship through a collection of events, forums, workshops and research.
Lawmakers return to Washington this week and it's going to be a busy one on the House side. Most eyes will be on actions related to the immigration reform debate where Republican leadership in the House have said that the comprehensive bill passed by the Senate is a nonstarter. And although there aren't any committee hearings this week on the issue, there is a full slate of hearings on other topics, including: the impact of competitiveness on entrepreneurs, state strategies for small business growth, regulatory reform, experiential education, capital formation, the delay of the employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act and more.
A collection of 100 CEOs from prominent companies have come together to voice their concern about sluggish progress in the U.S. in the STEM education fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – and where that leaves the country in terms of national competitiveness. The compilation includes essays and insight from tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Eric Schmidt of Google as well as leaders from a vast array of corporate giants like Cisco, Coca-Cola, Eli Lilly and Lockheed Martin.
duled for the week ahead as members of Congress left Washington this past weekend for the annual Fourth of July recess. Each recess is typically met with at least a couple of media stories about how it is ill-timed or even undeserved vacation. But don't fall into the trap of thinking it's a vacation. Last week, Roll Call, the pre-eminent publication for Capitol Hill and everyone who follows it closely, highlighted some findings from a Congressional Management Foundation survey about members' work habits and how they spend time on recess.
Female entrepreneurs in the United States benefit from more than just their own personal strengths and aspirations—they also benefit from an environment that is more open to women-led startups than any other country in the world. A new index released last month in Turkey at the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network conference compared 17 countries across 30 indicators that foster high-potential entrepreneurship. For those hoping for a silver bullet issue to focus policy efforts, there isn't one.
It is going to be a busy week in Washington, especially on the House side. The House Judiciary Committee has two days devoted to markup of a couple pieces of legislation – H.R. 1772 (the Legal Workforce Act) and H.R. 2131 (the Supplying Knowledge-based Immigrants and Lifting Levels of STEM Visas Act) – that focus on tighter employment verification and expanding H1-B visas. Of particular interest to those in the startup space might be the House Small Business Committee hearing on how mobile medical app entrepreneurs are changing the future of health care. Meanwhile, the Joint Economic Committee examines "smarter regulations." Other topics include: impact of Obamacare on U.S. businesses, energy jobs, wireless technology and the history of minimum wage.

Comic-Con: 'Eureka' picked up for season 4
"Eureka" has come to Comic-Con and though show lead Colin Ferguson couldn't make it -- he's in Bulgaria, filming "Lake Placid 3" for Syfy -- he made sort of a surprise appearance.
The senior VP of Syfy, Mark Stern, suggested that moderator Josh Gates give Colin a call, despite the fact that it was like 3 a.m. across the pond. But not only did Colin answer the phone, he had a pressing question for Mr. Stern.
Is "Eureka" (which has just begun its 3rd season) getting a 4th year?
Stern, feigning reluctance, approached the podium and with faux hesitation announced, before thousands of fans, that Syfy has decided to pick "Eureka" up for a 22-episode 4th season. His words were met with thunderous applause.
...And then everyone sang Ferguson happy birthday via phone.
It was sweet.
But Stern added a caveat. He wants at least one, if not two, of those 22 episodes to be a musical.
Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Allison) and Joe Morton (Henry) seconded the suggestion and executive producer, Jaime Paglia, later confirmed that they are planning on it.
Of course, the third season of the series is, for the most part, still ahead of us and there's a lot to look forward to in the near future...
...like Tag (Matt Frewer)'s return (spoiler!), as well as the addition of new characters. Actor Billy Campbell ("The 4400") is doing an episode and Jaime Ray Newman ("Veronica Mars") -- who joined Joe, Salli, Erica Cerra (Jo), Neil Grayston (Fargo) and Paglia on the panel -- will really be shaking things up as Tess Fontana, an old college roommate of Allison's who comes to town.
Apparently, Tess will be tempting Carter. And Allison won't be too thrilled with their blooming chemistry.
