On Cooking One Day a Week
By onblank on May 01, 2012
This is a good Saturday event. Brown a beef brisket, chuck roast, pork butt roast or spareribs with salt and pepper, then braise in your choice of tasty liquids (this is brisket with beef broth and red wine). One great meal on the weekend, then at least one more great meal through the week. Any shredded meat goes great in tacos when you pan fry it until it's a little dry with salt, cumin and sauteed onions (see below). Beef is great in a toasted sandwich with a stringy cheese—often actual string cheese in my house—with leftover gravy or broth and horseradish for French dip sandwiches. Chop it fine and use it in potstickers; enough ginger, garlic and Sriacha sauce and you won't even guess it was cooked in wine. Or, fry in garlic and oil to become the meat portion of Asianish soup. Or fry with hashbrowns and serve under a fried egg.
Firstly, did you know you only have to cover the eggs with cold water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat and cover for ten minutes and you'll have light, fully-cooked boiled eggs? IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I just figured this out last week. My whole life I've been simmering them away for 15 minutes and wondering why they could be used as a rubber ball on the playground.
Secondly, this is an easy source of protein for lunch or dinner. I like to slice one up to make a lunch salad have more oomph. Or slice two up and enjoy with a half a cup of lentil schtoup (see below) for lunch. Need a snack? How about spreading pesto on a piece of toast, slicing an egg on top, salt, pepper, dribble of olive oil and a few gratings of Parmesan cheese?
This is a Frug recipe, and it's very clever. Buy low-fat cottage cheese. Blend one cup until it's absolutely smooth. Enjoy as sour cream. It won't be as thick as sour cream, but it'll be lower fat, plenty of great taste, and won't be full of cornstarch, tapioca flour, or other thickeners like low- or no-fat sour cream. We use it for all of our baked potato, nacho, and taco needs. Also? Great for mashed potatoes instead of extra butter and in waffles instead of all the oil (yogurt works for this too).
Even with food prices going through the roof, I can still buy mushrooms from the bulk section for less per pound than I can buy them pre-packaged. Since they make many things more satisfying (Asianish soup, frittatas, omlettes, lasagna, stroganoff, fajitas; pretty much anywhere where you'd like to cut back on the amount of meat you're buying), I buy about a pound and slice them thin and cook them in olive oil and salt until they are browned. This saves a ton of time during dinner-making on weekdays and they last longer cooked. If they're in the crisper drawer and I know they'll take 20 minutes to saute (even with that microwaving trick from America's Test Kitchen they still take a while), they will stay there until they grow little mushrooms. Remember rule #1: they must be easy to use or you won't use them.
You will not make a salad for dinner if it means you have to spend 20 serious minutes washing and peeling freaking produce. Salads are good for everybody. When you make the first big salad for your weekend dinner take some extra time and just get everything cleaned and stored. Then you won't have a low-blood-sugar meltdown at all the produce rotting in your crisper drawer because you've been at work for 12 hours and there are so many things you don't want to do and WASHING AND PEELING SIX DIFFERENT VEGETABLES IS HIGH UP ON THAT LIST.
Lettuce: Cut head in half horizontally and wash all the tops of the leaves. Spin dry. Cut core off bottom, wash bottoms of leaves (sounds dirty). Spin dry. Store wrapped in clean tea towels in mostly closed plastic containers. Same with kale. The minimum amount of cutting possible; you'll still need to trim them to eat but they'll last longer if they aren't cut to pieces.
Carrots: Peel, cut root and leaf ends off, store in water.>
Bell peppers: Wash, trim off seedy end, stick the cut side onto a damp paper towel, store in bread bag.
Cabbage: Wash, wrap cut sides in damp paper towel and store in bread bag.
Radishes: Trim leaves off, scrub, store on top of a damp paper towel in Tupperware.
Broccoli: Wash, trim off florets into like-sized pieces, cut up stalk for soup (I guess; haven't actually made a successful broccoli soup yet), then dunk in salted boiling water for about a minute. They will last longer this way and be ready to serve, saute with garlic and red pepper flakes, toss in soup or a frittata.
P.S. If you ever have something that smells like death in your fridge and you can't figure out what it is, seek out the raw broccoli you bought two weeks ago and dumped in the crisper drawer because you haven't had time in all those weeknights to clean it and cook it. Not that I would know or anything.
Much faster to add a little spoonful of cooked onions to whatever you're trying to serve on a Thursday night than chop up a whole onion and cook it down. Go heavy on the olive oil so that when you store it the oil will seal the onion up and it will keep for longer. Probably.
Wait, you're not actually reading this blog as a real food blog, are you??
Add what's left of last week's cooked onions, half of whatever sausage you can get your hands on (*snigger*), a pinch of red pepper flakes, a cup of lentils, a cup and a half of water and a cup of wine or so and cook until softened. This is thinned with wine or broth and becomes dinner soup with a salad and bread one night, gets topped with boiled eggs for lunch, then gets served with mock sour cream for another lunch, and if you've made enough, gets fried until it's dried out a little and served for another dinner with fried eggs on top. This is good, solid, filling food that is nutritious and delicious.
What about you? Any tips or tricks you've learned to do on the weekend so you can eat well during the week?

An adjustable alphanumeric keyboard based on ISO standard format and consisting of two flat key contact mounting boards, one left and one right, corresponding respectively to the section of the alphanumeric keyboard actuated by the left hand and right hand in touch typing, joined by a hinge at a point corresponding to the keyboard C row, between columns 05 and 06, the outermost end of one mounting board connected by a hinge to the keyboard case or chassis, the outermost end of the other mounting board free to move laterally and pivot in the same plane, with means available to position said movable end, in order to give the mounting boards an adjustable angle, peaking the rows of key contacts between columns 05 and 06.
1. In a keyboard for typewriters, terminals and similar machines in which keys are arranged in general accord with International Organization for Standards recommendations for the alphanumeric sections of keyboards for office machines, an improvement comprising:
one left mounting board and one right mounting board, said mounting boards having front and rear edges, the mounting boards together having adjacent ends and outermost ends, and together corresponding to a standard keyboard, and said left and right mounting boards so shaped that they can be fitted with key contacts and keys as actuated by the left and right hands, respectively, in touch typing;
a hinge between and connecting said left mounting board and right mounting board, said hinge in a position approximately equidistant from the outermost ends of said mounting boards and likewise approximately equidistant from the front and rear edges of said mounting boards, said hinge permitting the adjacent edges of said mounting boards to be raised vertically at said hinge mounting position;
a second hinge connecting the outermost end of one of the said mounting boards to the keyboard chassis or case;
a means of locating the outermost end of the other said mounting board, permitting both lateral and pivotal movement;
a means of maintaining the lateral position of the mounting board outermost end that is permitted lateral and pivotal movement.
The invention is an adjustable keyboard for typewriters, terminals and similar machines, utilizing right and left mounting boards holding respectively the sets of keys generally used by the right hand and the left hand in touch typing. The right and left mounting boards are joined to each other at a central point by a hinge, the outer end of the first mounting board being fixed with a hinge to the keyboard chassis or case, the outer end of the second mounting board being free to movable laterally within the chassis or case. A means is provided to adjust the lateral movement of the movable end of said second mounting board.
The objective of the invention is to allow adjustment of the two sides of the standardized keyboard from/to a flat horizontal position to/from a position in which the mounting boards form an angle (<180�) to each other, raised at their junction point, their outer ends maintained in their original plane, each flat row of keys peaked between the keys normally activated by the right and left hands, respectively, in touch typing. The adjustability makes ergonomic improvement over the standard flat keyboard possible, while permitting retention of the standardized form when and as desired by the user.
Improvements offered by this invention over the art include rapid, simultaneous adjustment of the keyboard halves, facilitated replication of a desired adjustment, facilitated overview of the keyboard in adjusted form and a physical construction that is both economical to manufacture and mechanically stable regardless of adjustment.
FIG. 1 Shows the ISO standardized keyboard layout for office machines, the basic arrangement for the alphanumeric section of keyboards operated with both hands, showing key rows A through E, column positions 00 through 11, key contacts for alphanumeric keys 12, shift keys 13 and space bar 14. Dashed line 15 shows the division between key sets actuated by the right hand and left hand, respectively in touch typing.
FIG. 2 Shows the left mounting board 16 and the right mounting board 17. A hinge 18 connects one mounting board to the keyboard chassis or case 23. A hinge 20 is located between the adjacent edges 41, 42 of the left and right mounting boards, respectively, in a position corresponding to the position of the keyboard C row and approximately half way between the outermost edges 35, 36 of the respective mounting boards, connecting mounting boards 16 and 17. The division 15 between the mounting boards corresponds to the division between key sets actuated by the left and right hands in touch typing. Board extensions 21 engage in slots 22 in the keyboard chassis or case as shown in FIG. 6. A suitable position 34 is indicated for the attachment of hinged rider 25 as shown in FIG. 4, when that means of adjustment is selected.
FIG. 3 Shows two diagramatic horizontal section views through mounting boards 16, 17 at the E and C key rows. The upper portion of the figure shows the boards flat, with hinges 18 at one end and hinge 20 connecting the boards in the C row. The lower portion of the figure shows the same parts when pressure has been applied to the board end that is free to move laterally, represented here by extension positions 21.
FIG. 4 Shows a diagramatic horizontal section through part of mounting board 17, a hinged rider 25 with a threaded hole through which a threaded axle 26 is fitted. The axle protrudes through keyboard case 23 and is fitted with a knob 27.
FIG. 5 Shows part of a keyboard construction with mounting board 17 fitted with a plurality of key contacts 12, 13, and space bar 14, arranged according to ISO standard. Knob 27 is shown partially protruding through the top surface of keyboard case 23. The keyboard is shown fitted with an additional set of function key contacts 28.
FIG. 6 Shows an end section view of mounting board 17 with extension 21 engaged in slot 22 of the keyboard chassis or case 23. When a hinged rider as shown in FIG. 4 is used, both front edge 39 and rear edge 40 of the mounting board would be equipped as shown in the left hand portion of FIG. 6. One means of both providing movement and maintaining a desired adjustment of the keyboard is shown in the right hand portion of the figure in which a threaded continuation 33 of one board extension protrudes through a lateral slot in the keyboard chassis or case and is fitted with a threaded knob.
FIG. 7 Shows a perspective view of the keyboard in upwardly adjusted form corresponding to the lower portion of FIG. 3. Keys and key contact positions have been omitted from the mounting boards 16,17 in order to show the location of central hinge 20 and the position of the boards relative to each other when upwardly adjusted. Mounting boards 16, 17 have been mounted in a keyboard case 23 and an adjustment knob 32 is shown mounted in a manner corresponding to that shown in FIG. 6. The central hinge 20 is approximately equidistant from the outermost ends 35, 36 of the left and right mounting boards 16 and 17, respectively. It is also approximately equidistant from the front edges 37, 39 and rear edges 38, 40 respectively of left and right mounting boards 16, 17.
The normal alphanumeric keyboard for electric typewriters, computer terminals and similar office machines consists of four straight horizontal rows of keys, with a fifth "row" dedicated to the space bar. The rows are designated A (for the space bar) through E (for the top, or digits, row) by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The "vertical" columns of keys, which are actually canted approximately 20� from the vertical, are designated 99, 00, 01, . . . 15 by ISO. Letters and numerals are generally located in vertical columns 01 through 10 (exceptions for some foreign languages and special symbols). In practice the rows are often justified right and left by the use of elongated function keys for eg. tabulation and character shift.
The columns of keys on a keyboard are normally sloped upward away from the user, each row from A to E being stepped a certain amount (usually 6� to 15�). This stepping is generally constant from one row to the next although it may be slightly greater in row E, the digit row. The adjustment entailed by this invention will interrupt the horizontal flatness of the key rows, while maintaining the original degree of stepping within each column of keys. Therefore, in this description, the term flat keyboard will be understood to include representation of the vertical offset within the columns as though it described a flat surface.
In touch typing, a division (15) is made between the keys operated by the left hand and the right hand. The break is traditionally located between vertical columns 05 and 06.
The use of a flat keyboard allows the user to see the letter and symbol designations normally printed on the keytops. In touch typing it is assumed that manipulation of the keys is by "touch", rather than sight. Those who do not touch type are aided by having a full view of the keytops, as provided by the standardized flat-row keyboard construction. Among those who touch type, and can be assumed to use an alphanumeric keyboard often and/or for long periods, the flat-row design can be suspected of leading to certain physical discomforts, fatigue and, perhaps, injury.
In order to type, the keyboard user is forced to work with hands in a position that borders on what is physically possible. The hands are brought before the body and the palms are turned downward, approximately parallel to the floor. This causes pronation (crossing) of the bones in the lower arm. Since this is difficult, the keyboard user may be forced to raise his/her elbows away from the body. This reduces the pronation in the lower arm, but can lead to static load on muscles in the shoulder region. Wrist, arm, elbow and shoulder pains among keyboard users are a recognized medical problem.
The easiest manner to avoid these problems is to slope the right and left hand sides of the keyboard, as has been suggested in an early United States Patent. However, the angle between the keyboard sides in the suggested solution could not be adjusted by the user, nor could the keyboard be returned to a position with flat horizontal rows of keys. More recent work by Kroemer has resulted in an ergonomically advanced keyboard design that deviates entirely from ISO standards and requires the user to learn a new system of touch typing.
A U.S. Pat. No. 3,990,565 issued to Fulton et al. describes a keyboard comprising two disjointed halves, each connected at its outer end to an arm. Each half must be individually adjusted by the typist. No means of maintaining an adjusted position is presented. No means of equalizing adjustment is presented. The design lacks mechanical stability. The spread of the keyboard halves occasioned by adjustment makes keyboard overview more difficult. This is particularly important for the growing number of keyboard users (eg. computer users) who would wish the advantages of an ergonomically improved keyboard, but who are not trained typists and thus must rely on the sight of the keyboard for accurate system input.
Several hinged, folding keyboards have been presented. In each case the objective has been to reduce the surface area of the keyboard when not in use.
The intent and purpose of my invention is to allow adjustment of the generally accepted, ISO standardized alphanumeric keyboard for typewriters, terminals and similar devices generally referred to (no matter where used) as "office machines". In "adjusted" position with the key rows broken and peaked at the 05-06 column positions, the keyboard will reduce lower arm pronation, thus reducing both short and long term user fatigue, and should thereby lead both to faster typing and a reduction of errors. It should also simplify the learning of touch typing (by adding an additional height dimension to the keyboard) which in turn would lead to greater use of the ergonomic advantages of the design.
The problems inherent in Fulton et al. are overcome by the present improvement in that adjustment of the keyboard halves is both simultaneous and equal, and can be effected with one hand. Replication of a desired adjustment is simplified. Means of providing and maintaining desired adjustment are provided, and user overview is facilitated rather than being made more difficult. The construction, in which each end of each keyboard half is mechanically connected to another structural element, provides greater mechanical integrity and stability to the entire keyboard unit which, despite the numerous advantages mentioned, should be less difficult and more economical to manufacture.
The invention is realized as follows:
The keyboard consists of electrical or optical key contacts (12) mounted on two mounting boards (16, 17). The front to rear cross section of these boards may be flat, stepped, or dished.
The mounting boards, one left (16) and one right (17), correspond to the single mounting board usually used in typewriters, terminals and the like for mounting the key contacts, and are separated along a line (15) corresponding to the division between ISO designated key columns 05 and 06. This separation can be stepped instead of straight (FIG. 2), to accomodate the shape of the key contacts. The two mounting boards thus holds the keys (contacts) generally actuated by the left and right hands, respectively, in touch typing. The E row of the mounting boards could be so formed that the key in row E, column 06, and generally coded with digit 6, which would normally belong to the right mounting board, could be included on the left mounting board instead.
The mounting boards are joined by a hinge (20). The location of the hinge would normally be between the key positions in columns 05 and 06 in row C, the home row in touch typing. The location of the hinge (20) is approximately equidistant from the outermost ends (35,36) of the two mounting boards.
The outer end (35,36) of one of the mounting boards (the first, 16 or 17 respectively) is fixed with a hinge (18) to the chassis or external case of the keyboard, so that it may pivot vertically around this mounting point.
The outer end (36,35) of the other (the second, 17 or 16 respectively) mounting board is free to slide laterally within the chassis or case of the keyboard in the same plane as the hinged outer end of the first mounting board. It is, at the same time, free to pivot around the point of lateral movement. This can be accomplished with eg. pin-in-slot (21, 22) extensions of the mounting board.
When this jointed construction of first and second mounting boards is fully extended, the hinged center of the construction can be held in the same plane as as the outer ends by, eg. resting on a portion of the chassis or case provided for this purpose.
The lateral position of the outer end of the second mounting board can be adjusted by means of an extension through the front or back of the keyboard case (23), and held in selected position by a screw-down clamp, (32,33) or by a prong or pawl engaging teeth or slots in the case, etc.
It can alternately be located by a knob (27) on an threaded axle (26) protruding through one short end of the case, the knob end of the axle held in position by a collar and the other end of the axle engaging a thread in a hinged rider (25) on the sliding outer end of the second mounting board. Part of the knob could alternately protrude through the upper surface of the keyboard case if, eg. additional function keys (28) were wished added to the keyboard outside the alphanumeric area intended for adjustment.
Numerous alternative methods of laterally locating the sliding end of the second mounting board can also be imagined, such as the application of torque to a position on either of the mounting boards. The means of lateral adjustment is secondary in this case to the fact and type of keyboard adjustability, and other means of adjustment than those described must be considered to conform with the concept of the invention.
When the sliding end of the second mounting board is moved laterally from its outermost position by eg. turning the knob (27) on the threaded axle (26) engaged in the rider (25), the center of the mounting board construction rises, thus allowing use of the keyboard with palms turned inward according to the degree of adjustment. The keyrow angle is adjustable from flat (180�) to an angle (<180�) determined by the desire of the user and the innermost extent of the means of adjustment.
Since the length of key rows actuated by left and right hands is unequal, due to the cant of the "vertical" column division, there will be a slight inequality in the amount of rise (FIG. 3) of adjacent keys in columns 05 and 06 except at the point of hinging, which is in the home row (ISO row C).
Since the direction of pressure on the key tops is vertical to the position of the mounting boards, and since a touch typist is trained not to cross the line of division between right hand and left hand key groupings, this slight inequality of rise presents no problem. For the keyboard user who has not been trained, it encourages proper typing habits.
This invention presupposes the division of the space bar (14), and thus the use of two key contacts for its operation, so that it too will be adjustable to the same plane as the key rows. However, since it is often actuated by the thumb, which has a rotational ability not possessed by the fingers, it may be possible to maintain the space bar in its traditional, unadjustable form.
Since the central hinge (20) is approximately equidistant from the mounting board outer ends (35,36) the upward adjustment of the keyboard center allows equal rotation inward from the horizontal of the hands of the keyboard user (palms at an angle <180�). Since both mounting boards are joined centrally, their adjustment is simultaneous and can be effected by adjusting one end of one mounting board. Since each end of each mounting board is joined to another structural element, and the structure is triangulated (two mounting boards plus the keyboard chassis or case) the structure is mechanically rigid. Since the horizontal projection of the keyboard is shortened during adjustment, the field of view is made narrower, permitting easier overview.

text: Kyle Crick enters 2013 as the top prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization. Having seen his final start of the 2012 season, I can attest to his having both the raw stuff and durable frame to eat innings at the Major League level. On a night where I saw him bad, Crick's arsenal was awfully good.

Eastern Alabama farmers say they're feeling the lingering effects of an unusually wet summer.
Joseph Collier farms peas, okra, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes in Mountainboro and works 10 months of the years as a school janitor to qualify for health insurance and other benefits.
Collier told the Gadsden Times he lost most of his crops this year because of heavy rain and missed the corn-planting season altogether because of wet soil.
Alabama farmers say they're trying to cope with several weeks of cool temperatures and excessive rainfall, which has oversaturated the soil.
Agriculture experts say that has slowed farming across the state, which could threaten yields.
Farmer Keith Bryant tells The Anniston Star (http://bit.ly/13ls16h) that he's being slowed down in his efforts to plant 400 acres of cotton this year. But he said his cotton harvest will be fine as long as he can plant by May 15.
An Alabama dairy farmer has been chosen to serve as a spokesman for a national farmers' association.
Will Gilmer, of Lamar County, will serve as one of four national spokesmen for the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance. Officials say Gilmer and other winners were selected from a pool of more than 100 applicants in the national Faces of Farming and Ranching program.
As a spokesman for the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, Gilmer will help educate consumers on how food is grown and cultivated.

1996 Chevrolet Lumina Q&A
1996 Chevrolet Lumina Question: How much should it cost to replace a fuel pump? Cost to replace head gasket?
Service engine soon light came on. Car overheated and cracked the head gasket. Approx how much should it cost to replace the head gasket? - m1q1
2 Answers
Answer 2
The fuel pump is likely in the four hundred to seven hundred dollar range. Issues from corrosion of the fuel lines, and whether you need to do the entire pump assembly or just the pump will impact the cost. As far as needing a head-gasket you must plan on sending the heads to a machine shop to have them tested and potentially resurfaced at the same time. Expect to be in the $1500 range for that, and it could be higher depending on historical service habits and the machine shop costs. - cardocIII

Zona Fresca
Top Mexican/Southwestern Food In South Florida
Ay carámba! With all of Miami's Latin spice, it may come as a surprise that Mexican and Southwestern fare is somewhat underrepresented here. With so many Cuban, Columbian and Brazilian restaurants taking the spotlight, it's often easy to overlook the simple goodness of refried beans, guac and tacos. But, Miami actually has some great spots serving Mexican and Southwest-inspired dishes! What are you waiting for? Ándale!
Cheap Eats: Zona Fresca & The Pink Submarine
Authentic fresh Mexican food is the name of the game at Zona Fresca. First popping up in Fort Lauderdale off Federal Highway, there are now three Zona Fresca's in Broward County.

Jewish businessman and philanthropist Leslie Wexner and his company's Limited Brands Foundation have donated $100 million to The Ohio State University.
Wexner, 73, will give the university $65 million and the foundation will provide $35 million. Most of the donation will go to the university's academic medical center, the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
Money also will go to the Wexner Center for the Arts and other university initiatives, the university said in a statement.
Wexner, the chairman and chief executive officer of Limited Brands Inc., is a 1959 graduate of Ohio State.
Over the past 25 years, Wexner has given more than $500 million to philanthropic causes. The majority of his philanthropy has been focused on educating new leaders through the programs of The Wexner Foundation. In addition, he has made substantial gifts to the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University, Nationwide Children's Hospital, The Columbus Jewish Federation and several other philanthropic organizations.
"I've always believed that you have to do good while doing well," said Wexner. "It's not enough to succeed in business. You have to give back. Ohio State's Medical Center and The James do critically important work. My hope is this gift can help save lives, and maybe even help to cure cancer. It is certainly within our grasp."

BIDEN: No, no. I did want an expansion of troops. There was a slight difference about how to layer them, how to proceed.
The president -- we all ended up in -- you know, this was an open discussion. And the thing I like about the president, he seeks everyone's opinion.
Well, we reached a consensus opinion, and the consensus opinion of the national security team, of which I'm a part, was to do exactly what's under way.
The point is -- I suspect the point that Jim Jones is making is, hey, it hasn't even been implemented yet. Troops are still on the way. Slow up, guys.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But to be clear, you're saying if the military believes there should be more troops, they shouldn't be afraid to give that advice. They should give that advice?
BIDEN: They should not be afraid to give whatever advice from the field or from the Pentagon to the president and the secretary of defense that they think they need.
STEPHANOPOULOS: While we've been here, some pretty grim job numbers back at home -- 9.5 percent unemployment in June, the worst numbers in 26 years.
How do you explain that? Because when the president and you all were selling the stimulus package, you predicted at the beginning that, to get this package in place, unemployment will peak at about 8 percent. So, either you misread the economy, or the stimulus package is too slow and to small.
BIDEN: The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy. The figures we worked off of in January were the consensus figures and most of the blue chip indexes out there.
Everyone thought at that stage -- everyone -- the bulk of...
STEPHANOPOULOS: CBO would say a little bit higher.
BIDEN: A little bit, but they're all in the same range. No one was talking about that we would be moving towards -- we're worried about 10.5 percent, it will be 9.5 percent at this point.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But we're looking at 10 now, aren't we?
BIDEN: No. Well, look, we're much too high. We're at 9 -- what, 9.5 right now?
BIDEN: And so the truth is, there was a misreading of just how bad an economy we inherited. Now, that doesn't -- I'm not -- it's now our responsibility. So the second question becomes, did the economic package we put in place, including the Recovery Act, is it the right package given the circumstances we're in? And we believe it is the right package given the circumstances we're in.
We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package. The truth of the matter was, no one anticipated, no one expected that that recovery package would in fact be in a position at this point of having to distribute the bulk of money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: No, but a lot of people were saying that you needed to do something bigger and bolder then, including the economist Paul Krugman. He's saying -- right now he's saying the same thing again -- don't wait. You need a second stimulus, you need it now.
BIDEN: Look, what we have to do now is we have to properly, adequately, transparently and effectively spend out the $787 billion.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That's your job. You're in charge of that now.
BIDEN: That is my job, and I think we're doing it well. If you noticed, George, I mean, there were other predictions. This was going to be wasteful and all these terrible projects were going to be out there, and we're wasting money. Well, that dog hasn't barked yet.

Getting Started with the Soluto Metro App
Already using Windows 8? Lucky you! Let's take a closer look at what you can do with Soluto on Windows 8 and get you started with the Soluto Metro app:
1. First, download the Soluto app from the Windows 8 App Store.
2. Then, invite the people you want to help, your friends, family and co-workers, to Soluto.
- a. Type the name of a person you want to help and click "Add This Person".
- b. They'll receive an email invite asking them to download Soluto.
3. Once they've installed Soluto you can immediately start helping them with their PCs.
- a. Tap an avatar to view their PCs.
- b. Tap a PC to see everything that's going on with their PC.
- c. To install or update apps, select the "Apps" tab at the top of the screen. Then select all the apps you'd like to install or update and then tap the action button in the bottom bar with one easy finger motion. All the apps you chose will be installed or updated. Just like that.
- d. To check out the PC's Hardware details, tap the "Hardware" tab at the top of the screen to view available disk space and defrag hard drives. If the drive requires clearing or defragmentation you'll be prompted with a "Defrag" or "Clear Space…" button making it easy for you to free up space on hard drives so that the person you're helping can do more things on their PC.
You can add that personal touch by changing the Name, PC Name and Avatar of anyone you help whenever you want. Just select a person and tap "Edit" in the bottom bar. Choose from a bunch of different avatar options to find an avatar that suits them.
And to make things even easier, you can pin people to your desktop for quick access to their PCs. If there's someone you help all the time, or certain PCs you check on a lot, just go to that person and tap "Pin to Start" in the bottom bar to create a shortcut. Then all you have to do is click their avatar from your desktop to jump straight to that person's PCs.
If you're away from your Windows 8 tablet or PC, don't worry. You can access Soluto by logging into www.soluto.com so you can manage your PCs from any computer, anywhere in the world.
So that's how simple it is to help your people do more with their PCs with the Soluto Metro App. Try it out for yourself.
Can't wait to hear what you think,

Texas Architect July/Aug 2007: Luxury
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
7/8 2007 texas architect 53 Glazing Options Abound by hank chamberlain photo Court esy Vis tawa l l More than merely enhancing existing products, advancements have introduced completely new categories insight: glass in architecture THE vast array of specifiable glazing composi- tions is now almost incomprehensible. Predictably, new product introductions have broadened the traditional categories of archi- tectural glass, such as tinted, reflective, and low-emissivity. More significant, though, is the rate of development of completely new categories of glazing materials. By that measure, we have demonstrably entered the twenty-first century. Currently, special attention to eight catego- ries of specialized glazing is justified by their potential impact on the marketplace. Although the selection criteria are subjective – and the author's alone – these eight examples demon- strate the diverse character and complexity of twenty-first-century fenestration. Some are quickly gaining market share while others are underutilized. When architects at Miami-based arquitectonica sports Design conceived the new american Bank center arena in corpus christi, they wanted a distinctive look with a lot of glass. Because the site is located on the Gulf coast, the structure had to be designed to resist the potential impact from hurricane-force winds.

The Wax Adam: Historical, Biographical, Archetypal, or Literary?
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.

From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Ch. 3-4: The Importance of Reading the Biblical Text in Context
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.

Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
John Ortberg Sermon: Does Science Disprove Faith?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Two Books + Two Eyes = Four Necessities for Christian Witness, Part 2
"Such a paradigm will enable joyful Christ-followers to be wholly engaged in being the presence of hope in our glorious—yet broken—world."
Two Books + Two Eyes = Four Necessities for Christian Witness, Part 1
It's eminently easy "in God's name" to demand things of people as a pre-requirement for acceptance by God—things which Christ himself never demanded.

Kal pure stevia extract is weird tasting
Posted by Reviewer2571602 on Jul 17, 2011
After reading lots of good reviews for Kal stevia, I bought the 4 oz. bottle. What a waste of money. It has a strange taste that I've never had with the many different brands of dry stevia packets I've used. I tried lots of different strengths with this stuff in my coffee & no matter how little or how much I used, it made my coffee terrible tasting. I don't understand all the good reviews, I have to wonder if some were from the Kal co.
Was this review helpful to you?

NV30 screens are NOT fake
I know this subject has been throughly discussed, and is getting old, but found this site which has the pics and explains them: http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardwar...211_1434621__3
3d Chipset doesnt seem to buy these shots as genuine either.
Comon...if these things really were rendered with an NV30, or Used CG surely there would be no harm in Nvidia saying something about it. Saying they were infact rendered using any of Nvidias tech would not bust any kind of NDA.
Some of those pics on Exluna have been there since 2001..yet all of a sudden they are shots from Nvidias latest endeavor? Riiiiight...:rolleyes:
now how many more of those pictures are we going to see before christmas?
Hehehe theres a bunch in Exlunas gallery..I have a feeling well see more and more "Nv30 renderings" in the weeks to come..:D :p :D
Probably most if not all of them I would bet.
What better way to test your new language and hardware and drivers than by running your new company's library of renderings through your product.
Although, all we have seen is a screen shot of an image that was supposedly rendered using Cg on a Nv30. We think.
Oh, and it would be quite easy to break the NDA if you weren't carefull.
Just look how the supposed rendering of an image is generating web pages full of speculation and flame wars.
if you really read the Sharky Extreme article it doesn't say that NV30 was used to render those images.
the only statement that even comes close is this
All those images are very easily renderable on DX9 class hardware. I doubt very much whether anything that doesn't support at least 64bit colour will even approach the quality shown in them.
But I also doubt if any of them are real time renders. Some of the methods required to produce such quality images, such a path tracing etc., will still require an enormous number of cpu cycles. I can image the NV3x could render them faster through the use of some pretty advanced shader code but it would still be offline rendering.
Also, IMO, the images (though they look nice) could have been rendered on an R300 just as easily as an NV3x. Just maybe not as quickly, and remember quickly is a relative term here - it may have been tens of minutes.
We need to know some real hardcore stuff about the NV3x architecture, not what it's capable of offline. But what it can do in real time. How wide is the memory bus, 128bits or 256bits, how many cycles get eaten by FSAA or Anisotropic filtering. What improvments have they made to the Z-Occlusion code and how well does the chip utilise the bandwidth available? Thos are the kinds of things I want to know. And I want to know NOW...
Funny that they removed it though, perhaps they also fail to see what these pics really have to do with Nvidia or Nv30 , outside of the Exluna purchase?
I saw the pics on the (now missing) third page yesterday, and there were a couple extra beyond the ones on the nVNews front page. As far as to whether these were generated on the nV30 or not, there's a very good point someone made- I could render these on my GF4, though it wouldn't be using my hardware nor in realtime, if I had the software. ;)
(So the nV30 screenshots could very well be REAL, without saying much at all about the hardware's capabilities)
Marketing rulez! :D
Anyone who thinks an NV30 was even near the machine that rendered those pics is simply deluding themselves.
The pics are identical to those on exluna's site. Killeroo uses path tracing, which simply isn't possible in anything approaching real time.
Now, you might argue that they were rendered on the NV30, just not in real time. With the NV30 just now completing tape-out, and the fact that some of these images are from early this year and evel last year, that is simply impossible.
It was bad leaked information, nothing else. Perhaps nVIDIA intends on using these images as a demo, much like ATi's animusic demo, but they haven't done that yet, and the images posted were software renders done off-line months ago.
you don't happen to have a copy stored in your browser cache ;)

A Storytelling game of Fighting Fear
When they told you that you were a Princess, you felt your childhood dream had come true.
Sometimes you want to shake your childhood self, to make her see how much hard work it is to be a Princess.
They showed you how you channel your hope into magic.
You never imagined what magic really was like, how your own doubts could drain your powers or turn them against you.
They said you were going to help fix the world.
Some days, you can't even fix your own life.
When you told them how you felt, they said it was ok to take a break.
But it's not ok, because you could never forgive yourself if you let everyone down.
Princess: The Hopeful is a fan made roleplaying game for the New World of Darkness. Players take on the role of magical girls (or boys) who one day found themselves granted great magical power and the responsibility to fix all that is wrong with the world. If they can survive the trauma of real battle, learn that not every problem can be solved with a speech about friendship, and endure their enormous workload, then just maybe they can make a difference.
If you plan to run a game of Princess: the Hopeful you can send an E-mail to email@example.com or find us on RPG.net, we are always willing to answer questions.
Princess: the Hopeful is now updated for the God Machine Chronicles
