ERWIN — Unicoi County resident Debbie Hill said her son, Matthew, had his choice on Good Friday of taking part in an Easter egg hunt or joining others in the annual Witness Walk through downtown Erwin.
She said it was his choice that led the two to take part in their first Witness Walk.
"I really wanted to come because my son is getting to an age where the Easter egg hunts are little bit too young, and he's getting more serious and more interested in what Easter's really about," she said.
For more than 15 years, dozens in the community have gathered each Good Friday in Erwin for the Witness Walk. The event, which is co-sponsored by the Unicoi County Ministerial Association and the Erwin Kiwanis Club, involves attendees carrying a large wooden cross from the Erwin Food Lion store to Centenary United Methodist Church about a mile away to represent the journey Jesus was forced to make as he carried his cross to the place of his crucifixion.
"People are excited about being able to portray what happened many, many years ago when Jesus carried his cross," said Larry Wiley, pastor at Central Baptist Church. "So this is kind of a commemoration of that great event."
The walk also includes several stops along the route for local ministers to lead prayers and hymns and recite the last seven words of Jesus from the cross.
"It makes you think a lot about God and what Jesus went through," first-time attendee Bonnie Gouge said.
Arleen Cooke said she and her husband, Frank, moved from South Carolina to Unicoi County around 15 years ago. For 14 of those years, they have participated in the walk. She said the fact that those of any faith can take part is significant.
"That makes it even more special to me because it's non-denominational, everybody can join together," she said.
The Rev. Garland James said he views the walk as more than just a Good Friday tradition.
"I see it as a way for us to demonstrate our faith, our belief and to say to God, 'God, I want to put feet under what you've done for us,' " he said.
James said he feels "blessed" to live in an area where events such as the walk are held. Wiley agreed, adding that he is pleased to see the mix of familiar faces and new attendees that came out.
"I think the fact that Unicoi County and Erwin is a small community, it's a close-knit community, and I think they still have the very strong, conservative, traditional values that many of us hold true, whereas some of the larger areas maybe have gotten away from that," Wiley said. "There's just kind of a general love for each other and wanting to hold onto those values."

Sunk deep in the night. As one sometimes sinks one's head in meditation, thus utterly to be sunk in the night. All around people are asleep. It's a harmless affectation, an innocent self-deception, to suppose that they are sleeping in houses, in safe beds, under a safe roof, stretched out or curled up on mattresses, in sheets, under blankets; in reality they have gathered together as they once did of old, and again later, in a desert region, a camp in the open, a countless number of men, a host, a people, under a cold sky on cold earth, cast down where they had earlier stood, forehead pressed upon arm, face towards the ground, peacefully sleeping. And you are watching, are one of the watchmen, you find your nearest fellow by brandishing a burning stick from the brushwood pile beside you. Why are you watching? Someone must watch, it is said. Someone must be there. – At Night by Franz Kafka, from The Great Wall of China and Other Short Works Scenes from a telescope/ The night planet electric/ With all the trade routes of the world lit up/ However, since nothing confutes the assumption that lines and forms and colours exist on innumerable other planets and suns as well, we are at liberty to feel fairly serene about the possibilities of painting in a better and different existence, an existence altered by a phenomenon that is perhaps no more ingenious and no more surprising than the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly or of a grub into a maybug. The existence of a painter-butterfly would be played out on the countless celestial bodies which, after death, should be no more inaccessible to us than the black dots on maps that symbolize towns and villages are in our earthly lives. Science – scientific reasoning – strikes me as being an instrument that will go a very long way in the future. For look: people used to think that the earth was flat. That was true, and still is today, of, say, Paris to Asnières. But that does not alter the fact that science demonstrates that the earth as a whole is round, something nobody nowadays disputes. For all that, people still persist in thinking that life is flat and runs from birth to death. But life, too, is probably round, and much greater in scope and possibilities than the hemisphere we know. – Vincent van Gogh, from The Letters of Vincent van Gogh Such science will go a very long way in the future/ Perhaps to the moon on a ladder of light/ And back in an all-too-brief freefall…/ Inevitably, what seems realest to us is what gets activated most often. Our hangnails are incredibly real to us (by coincidence, I found myself idly picking at a hangnail while I was reworking this paragraph), whereas to most of us, the English village of Nether Wallop and the high Himalayan country of Bhutan, not to mention the … Read More
The Line is the Feeling
I was sad to hear about the death of Cy Tombly today. In my first year at university, when I was doing fine art, one of the staff noticed that I kept writing on my canvases and suggested that I checked out Twombly, who often incorporated scratchy text into his work. I loved his paintings right away, especially the ones where he scrawled sentences across them, or bits of script that looked like made-up languages, or strange words half concealed behind thicker layers of paint. At a later point, the university art staff suggested that I was writing a little too much on my own canvases, and that perhaps I should be writing on word processors on a different course, but it was worth having been there just for the tip-off about Twombly. There are good articles about his art in lots of newspapers today, and they will tell you better than I ever could about all the great things he did. Here and here are two I've enjoyed looking at. The appeal, for me, is all in a kind of gut recognition. He seemed to understand that the process of a making a mark, be it handwriting or graffiti or frenzied slashing with a palette knife, is as important as the symbolism of the mark itself. In other words, the shape the word is written in says just as much as the word itself. I was thinking about this a couple of months ago, and that was what I was getting at here. When I got stuck – which was often – writing The Man who Rained, I would think about Twombly's flourishing scrawls and force myself to forget about structure and narrative and all that rigid stuff and just write, write, not even write but just mark-make, be it real words or made-up words or a made-up momentary alphabet, just to enjoy the feel of the nib moving across the surface of the page. My messy results had nothing of the elegance of Twombly's – that was the man's genius, to elevate scribble to a thing of beauty – but they helped me become unstuck and press onward. So thank you, Cy Twombly. CT: I'm a painter and my whole balance is not having to think about things. So all I think about is painting. It's the instinct for the placement where all that happens. I don't have to think about it. So I don't think of composition; I don't think of colour here and there. Sometimes I alter something after. So all I could think is the rush. This is in certain things and even up to now, like The Four Seasons, those are pretty emotionally done paintings. And I have a hard time now because I can get mentally ill. I usually have to go to bed for a couple of days. Physically I can't handle it, and I can't build myself. You know, my mind goes blank. It's totally blank. I cannot sit and make … Read More
Love What You Love
What great births you have witnessed! The steam press, the steamship, the steel ship, the railroad, the perfected cotton-gin, the telegraph, the phonograph, the photograph, photo-gravure, the electrotype, the gaslight, the electric light, the sewing machine, & the amazing, infinitely varied & innumerable products of coal tar, those latest & strangest marvels of a marvelous age. And you have seen even greater births than these; for you have seen the application of anesthesia to surgery-practice, whereby the ancient dominion of pain, which began with the first created life, came to an end in this earth forever; you have seen the slave set free, you have seen the monarchy banished from France, & reduced in England to a machine which makes an imposing show of diligence & attention to business, but isn't connected with the works. Yes, you have indeed seen much — but tarry yet a while, for the greatest is yet to come. – Mark Twain to Walt Whitman That was Mark Twain writing to wish Walt Whitman a happy birthday in 1889. At seventy, Whitman had lived through a great deal, and Twain celebrated it all with gusto. Had Whitman gone on to live the further thirty years Twain requested in the letter, I like to think he'd have proved to be a lucky charm of sorts. It would have been swell to have had him there in the twentieth century, offering his take on things. I love Walt Whitman. I try to read his stuff if I have to go to the hospital waiting room or to see the bank manager. I'd like a bracelet for my wrist with What Would Whitman Do? stitched across it. That's a fun game, actually, and one worth playing if you're stuck in the bus queue or walking down Oxford Street. The only rule is this: you have to view each and every person around you, their armpits and all, as a celebration of the human body and soul. I find this game hardest very early in the morning and easiest after a few glasses of whiskey. I believe in the flesh and its appetites, Seeing hearing and feeling are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from; The scent of these arm-pits is aroma finer than prayer, This head is more than churches or bibles or creeds – Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass (24), first edition This letter of Twain's is kept in the Beinecke, but I discovered it on a great site called www.lettersofnote.com. You can't fail to find something that interests you there. The Beatles, Benjamin Franklin, Kurt Vonnegut, all these are present. Every day, its curator Shaun Usher updates it with a new letter, providing both a scan of the manuscript and a typed transcription. It's such a worthwhile project, a showpiece of what the internet's good for, and it's deservedly nominated for the 2011 Webby Awards … Read More

Originally, Mahjong got stuck in a specific game and would not start another game. After troubleshooting I uninstalled Mahjong. Now, when I try to reinstall it says I already own it and when I select Mahjong, it just says pending and won't download. I have done all the updates and restarts and even though I have the Mahjong tile, it is stuck in pending mode.
This issue may occur if the date\time is incorrect, if the Windows Store settings are incorrect or if the antivirus conflicts with the download.
Is the issue specific with this particular App?
Method 1:
I would suggest you to make sure that the date and time are correct on the computer.
a. Check the setting for Date/Time by choosing the Desktop tile and then left click on the date/time in the right corner.

COLUMBIA CITY – A special section recognizing local public safety personnel and first responders will be inserted in The Post & Mail newspaper's print edition on Wednesday, Sept. 11, Patriot Day and the national day of remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the United States homeland.
The special section, made possible by community-minded businesses, will recognize those who keep Whitley County safe.
For subscribers, watch for it in Wednesday's newspaper. Non-subscribers can pick it up at newsstands throughout Whitley County.
Whitley County's Autumn Art Festival was held around the Courthouse Saturday.
The event was sponsored by the Whitley County Humane Society and featured local artists and crafts.
Pictured, Pam Hively, of the Peabody Public Library, keeps track of entries in the sidewalk chalk drawing contest.
Artwork decorated the sidewalk in front of City Hall, Columbia City.
Mary Raber Elementary School recently celebrated its August Shining Stars. Students were recognized for using their life skills, treating people right, and doing the right thing.
COLUMBIA CITY — Strip malls in Columbia City are now required to post addresses on rear-entry doors.
According to Indiana Fire Code, buildings with more than three lessees must have an address posted on all doors in the back of the building.
Columbia City Fire Chief Tom LaRue said the addresses are beneficial to many agencies, but especially emergency crews who may need to make rear entry on a building.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel is opening the doors of the city for residents to explore the works of their government.
"The open house will give citizens an opportunity to see and physically touch their tax dollars at work," Daniel said. "We see this as a great way to showcase how we are trying to keep up with our citizen growth, while stretching the dollar a little farther."
The open house will be held Saturday, Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to noon at all facilities, which are located throughout the city.
COLUMBIA CITY — Shelter dogs were the guests of honor at the Whitley County Autumn Arts Festival Saturday.
The event was coordinated by Whitley County Humane Society board members and helped to raise funds and awareness for the county's animal shelter.
Several of the shelter's four-legged residents attended the festival donned with an "adopt me" vest.
The featured canines were greeted by festival-goers who lavished the dogs with affection.
COLUMBIA CITY — A woman involved in a local sex abuse case appeared in court Monday.
Joy Hughes, 37, of Kendallville, pleaded not guilty in August to felony neglect of a dependent.
She was accused of abandoning her daughter to the care of Dean Pressler in 2008. Pressler was subsequently arrested in January of this year for multiple sex crime charges with this child.
Pressler was given a 60-year prison sentence in August.
Hughes' attorney is Brad Baber. He requested a continuance and will be back in court with his client Oct. 7 for pretrial proceedings.
Distinguished Young Woman (DYW) 2014 participants pose after the fitness portion of the program Saturday.

SOUTH WHITLEY — Whitko High School Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 4 to 8 p.m.
According to school leaders, the set-up will be slightly different than in years past.
Rather than meeting with teachers in the commons or gymnasium, parents will have the opportunity to meet with teachers in their student's actual classrooms.
As parents enter the building, they will register and receive their student's current Progress Reports.
COLUMBIA CITY — Three brothers, originally from Columbia City, reunited last week for a chance to relive some childhood memories.
Jim, Dick and John Walter, affectionately known as "The Walter Boys," grew up in Columbia City, but life has taken them outside of town. Sitting in the backyard of Dick's home on West Lincolnway, the threesome shared some of their favorite memories of growing up in the area.
"It's been two years since we got together," Dick said. "This is wonderful."

WORCESTER, Mass. – Freshman Rob Cacace (Yonkers, N.Y.) set a new school record in the heptathlon as members of the Holy Cross men's indoor track and field team traveled to the Crowell Open in West Point, N.Y. and Tiger Invitational in Boston, Mass. on Saturday. Cacace broke the previous mark by one point, finishing with a score of 3,968 at the Crowell Open. He recorded four top-five finishes in the seven event competition, including a first place finish in the shot put.
At the Tiger Invitational, sophomore Vuong Tran (Worcester, Mass.) finished second in the 55-meter dash with a career-best time of 6.68 seconds. Sophomores Mike Galasso (Danvers, Mass.) and Trevor Dutton (Burlington, Mass.) also took home second place finishes in the 400-meter dash (50.01) and 800-meter run (1:56.78), respectively. All three times were team-highs thus far on the young season. Freshman Lucas Keefer (Yonkers, N.Y.) and junior Sam McGrath (Tyngsboro, Mass.) finished behind Dutton in fourth and fifth place, respectively, with times of 1:57.84 and 1:58.52. Freshman Dennis Muldoon (Weymouth, Mass.) added a sixth top-five finish for the Crusaders, taking third in the 3,000-meter run with a team season-high mark of 9:01.47.
The 4x400-meter relay team consisting of Galasso, senior Nick Petsky (Manorville, N.Y.), McGrath and Dutton finished in first place with a time of 3:27.83. Sophomore Sean Carey (Newburyport, Mass.) also set a career-best distance of 14.10 meters in the weight throw.
Other top Crusader finishers at the Crowell Open included junior Tim Moczula (Edison, N.J.) who finished the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.88 seconds and freshman Joe Murphy (Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.) who crossed the finish line at 9:36.99 in the 3,000-meter run.
The men's indoor track and field team will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Yale Invitational beginning at 9:00 a.m.

US The X Factor axes Khloe Kardashian as co-host, Mario Lopez to remain
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- February 19, 2013
KHLOE Kardashian has been axed as co-host by the struggling US version of The X-Factor.
Following in the footsteps of departed judge Britney Spears, Kardashian has not been asked to return to Simon Cowell's struggling reality TV singing competition, the New York Post reports.
Kardashian, who had no previous hosting experience, often appeared unprepared and nervous on camera, struggling to develop a rapport with super-smooth co-host Mario Lopez and deliver her lines on cue.
Kardashian's ability to draw fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians wasn't enough to overcome her inexperience, said LA hosting coach Marki Costello, who has worked with the US The Voice's CeeLo Green told the Post.

That's the problem with the Kardashians, none of them can actually do anything useful (not that co-hosting this lame show qualifies as useful). It sickens me that the world glorifies these fools.

How about making the decision of cancelling the boring copycat show altogether. Simon Cowell's 15 minutes are up and there are too many stupid shows like this.

I don't why this talentless hack can't host a show where everybody on it is a talentless hack.

Thank God! She was painful to watch! No talent, no grace, no looks, no anything. It was a wonder to me that she was selected in the first place. America has some stupid people out there - supporting the Kardashian family of no talent Hollywood celebrity wannabes! Wise up America and get rid of the whole bunch of them! Hurray for Simon Cowel! I've always liked that man!

Not to be negative but she just wasn't suited to this job. Mario was so at ease with both the judges & contestants. She seemed to always be hanging all over the younger male contestants. Good luck to her in the future, though.

i never saw the show but am glad she's off of it. The next thing they got to do is get that show of the e network. The kardashian is the worst show that ewver been put on television. MAKE ME HAPPY CANCEL THE SHOW PLEASE.

Mary YX of Sydney Posted at 2:11 PM February 19, 2013
Why did they need x 2 people to host the Show anyway? Every Pop Show has only 1, and they do fine on their own. I believe they tried to get more ratings by adding a well-known US TV star, obviously it didn't work and the show suffered in the even of it.

I attened
a ball last thursday

The hall was illuminated by electric lights, It certainly was a sight to see;
So many colored folks there without a razor fight... 'Twas a great surprise to me.
There was little Sam' Smith the great "lady's
Who had the honor of being manager of the floor...
Told the people to get ready for the time is near at hand,
And the dance begins at nine o'clock you know.
Then the orchestra began to play the sweet entrancing music
Of the most popular dance of the day.
Ev'ry couple took their places all the coons had smiling faces
While they waited for the caller to say, well;

"My daughter came up with the wording for the invitation for the shower, her baby shower, I had to do the ordering because I was paying. Tiny Prints did a wonderful job helping me with the lay out and getting the font right, I really thank you for all of your help, could have not done it without you, she loves it and so does everybody else that has received the invitation."
"These invitations are beautiful!! I love the quality paper and the design. I received many favorable remarks from the women who received them. Perfect for a book baby shower!"
"These cards are amazing! The color, design, & paper quality are fantastic. Most of all, I love that they are affordable."
"The invites were better in person than the online design. Everyone adored them, especially the picture insert we added to the back. The print job was well done and absolutley love the paper quality."
"Loved the colors of the invitation - not your typical "baby colors" which I like. Planning to use the same color scheme when decorating for the shower. Good quality paper. Loved that I was able to change the font and put a poem on the back of invitation asking for books for the wishing well."

Greens slam housing nod
Posted: July 31, 2014|
THE rubber-stamping of building on greenfield sites has been criticised.
The Green Party has blasted the Government's planning inspector for giving Broxtowe, Gedling and the city councils permission to build 30,550 new houses in the next 14 years.
The proposals will lead to 600 houses being built in and around Kimberley.
Green Party town councillor David Kirwan said: "We are well aware that there is a housing shortage in the Greater Nottingham area but this building proposal will do little to resolve existing problems.
Related content
"These are two or three-bedroom private houses that will be too expensive for most first-time buyers.
"There is no provision for much needed social housing.
"There is no consideration given to the impact on local school admissions or on traffic congestion."

Like when you will get them and possible price range? :hihi:
Sometimes I think you know about new products before I do, Green! Maybe I should read those newsletters when they get mailed!!
We won't have any on the latest shipment, but if you'd like to special order one, I don't imagine them costing more than $89 or so.

Vermount to Regulate Mixed Martial Arts
Vermont Beats New York to the Punch, Passes MMA Regulation
While New York sits in a quagmire of politics over regulating mixed martial arts, Vermont has become the 46th state to regulate the sport. UFC officials announced the news on Friday.
Vermonts legislation of the sport of MMA is further evidence of the continued growth and success of our sport in this country, said UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta. We are pleased that fans in Vermont will now have the opportunity to watch a live UFC event in their own backyard, and look forward to making that happen.
We are thrilled with the state of Vermont becoming the 46th state to regulate the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, said Marc Ratner, UFC Senior Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs. We look forward to working with their athletic commission in forming the rules and regulations of this great sport.
Only New York and Connecticut remain unregulated, while Alaska and Wyoming lack the necessary regulatory bodies to oversee the sport.
Doubt the UFC will have an event there, according to a certain site "Vermont is the 6th least extensive and the 2nd least populous of the 50 United States."Surfing Facebook at work? Spread the good word by adding us on Facebook today! https://www.facebook.com/Bullshido

They were very nice and down-to-earth!
We got autographs of the whole team by the way and all of them were really friendly.
Xavier's match was quite fun to watch and we were happy he won it so easy!
Afterwards we saw Christophe Rochus in the hall, he was just standing between the people who went home and was talking to some people. A friend of mine asked if we could take a picture of him with us and he was really friendly and posed with us!
I really hope we have a good draw for the barage in september and I hope we can play at home again!! Because we don't get to see our boys play live enough.
I went too on friday and on sunday! It were two wonderful days!
I can't stop talking about...
Yes, i have also a signature of oli (and the whole team) and we take a pic with him
On sunday we saw Kristof in the hall before the match was starting and we asked and he posed too!!! :d
Yes, they're all really friendly!!!
and yes, i hope too that in september they play again in belgium!!!
Let's hope so...

who can dispute the magnificence of Egypt's fabled archaeological sites? The pyramids at Giza, the sole survivors of the world's seven ancient wonders, are almost too engaging for their own good. The lotus-columned Temples of Luxor and Karnak, the beauty of sunrise across the Valley of the Kings, or the sound-and-light show at the mighty tombs of Abu Simbel all thrill legions of modern tourists today as they have since the Greeks first visited in Alexander's time.

The title of my freshman showcase, "At The Buffet" pretty much sums up my crazy MT2016 class, who we also refer to as, the hot messes. Our showcase was at the very end of my freshman year on May 7th in the John Patrick Theatre in Kleist. It was also one of the last times our whole class was together before we all took off in different directions for the summer.
Freshman showcase for a Music Theatre Major is, the first "coming out" to the public and school as performers. Since the freshman do not perform in most Master Classes, the showcase is the first time we get to show what we're made of. Most of our second semester workshop class with Vicky is dedicated to working on rep and group numbers she wants to use for showcase. She picks what song she thinks best shows us individually (or in duos and trios), then we work on the beats and acting of the songs in workshop with her and our classmate's feedback. I was chosen to sing At The Ballet from "A Chorus Line" with my friends Dana and Caroline (which yielded our punny title). I was really glad Vicky chose this song because it showed that I am a dancer as well as a singer and actor. Our finale was One Day More from Les Miserables, which took some time to piece together vocally. We also did a goofy, chaotic, animal breeding piece from Bat Boy called Children, Children.
On the day of showcase we all met backstage with Vicky in a circle and held hands to each give one word like "poise" or "focus" to remember as we went out on stage. We each did our individual numbers, then finished strong with One Day More, which earned a huge applause from our audience. "Hot Mess" stepped into the Music Theatre world in a fierce way, and I can only imagine what incredible things come for us in the next three years!

Serves 4 to 6
2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Tajín Clásico Seasoning
Rinse and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds of about ¼ inch.
Place oven racks on lower and upper thirds. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small saucepan melt the butter over low heat. Once it melts pour in the olive oil, combine and remove from the heat.
Brush the butter/oil mix onto the bottom of two large baking sheets. Place the sweet potato rounds in a single layer. Brush the tops with more of the butter/oil mix. Sprinkle generously with Tajín Classic Seasoning. Flip rounds on to the other side and sprinkle generously with Tajín. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until they have started to brown. Remove baking sheets. With a set of tongs or a pair of forks, flip the sweet potato rounds. Place back in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes more, until they have browned on both sides. Don't let them burn.
Remove them from the oven. As they cool a little, their edges will crisp a bit more. Serve hot or not: either way they are delicious!
Sounds simply yummy.Toni | November 15, 2012 6:42 PM
Hi, Pita:
Your English is quite good, both in speaking and writing. Did you speak the language when you grew up in Mexico? Did you learn how to cook from your mother or grandmother? Honestly, I did not like Mexican food until I saw your show. Thank you for introducing your kind of Mexican food to me and the audience of America.
That is such a creative use for Tajin! I always have it on hand since we like it on fruit, but sometimes I'd like to try something different with it. Yum!!Naomi | November 20, 2012 8:16 PM
Gracias, Toni!!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Toni | November 21, 2012 1:45 PM
Naomi, I love TAJIN on fruits too. But try it on the sweet potatoes...I couldn't stop eating them!!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Naomi | November 26, 2012 5:11 PM
Hola Lily, I took a little English in school, but mostly learned from living in the United States. Thank you for watching the show!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Lily | November 29, 2012 1:34 PM
So happy we found your show in PBS. We just left Mexico City 5 years ago and my daughter ask me for our food all the time. She loves the stories you tell about the DF. And my husband is so grateful about the pastel imposible. Now I have more ideas to cook, I hope you can include tamales recipes for this winter! and churros (extrañamos El Moro) My girl loves tamales verdes , Gracias Pati :)Norma | November 30, 2012 7:21 PM
Hola Norma, Mexico City is my favorite place in the world so eat, so it's no wonder your family misses the food so much! I have a sweet tamales recipe that would be good for the winter: http://patismexicantable.com/2011/06/blackberry-and-pecan-tamales.html. No tamales verdes or churros yet - but I will try to get recipes up soon. Thank you so much for watching the show!!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Norma | December 3, 2012 10:16 AM
Where can the Tajin Classic Seasoning be purchased? I live in San Antonio. ThxJolanda Bradley | December 28, 2012 9:41 PM
Hola Pati,
I love your show, I always watch it (i record it so that I can watch it to give it my full attention) I also love the theme song, please tell me the name of the song and artist. Thank you
Hola Jolanda, They should carry Tajin Classic Seasoning in the international section of your grocery store. If you can't find it there, look for it at your local Latin market.Pati Jinich replied to comment from Jolanda Bradley | January 2, 2013 6:08 PM
Hola May, Thank you so much for watching the show!! The song is "Dame" by Domingo Siete!Pati Jinich replied to comment from May | January 2, 2013 6:13 PM
Hi Patti, I have been watching and recording our shows now for several weeks. I'm so glad I found you. I have been inspired. My family was getting tired of eating the same old "Mexican food" since it tends to be a daily diet in our home. We're Mexican American. Now that I have watched your show, I have introduce a few new recepies, and the kids love it, and so does my husband. Thank you for you and your show.

Great location - right around the corner from the Plaza de Armas. Hot showers. Good wifi. Bar can be a bit loud at night/early morning. If you're catching the early train to Machu Picchu try to get a bed in the one of the rooms farther away from the bar area.Read More

We have a java-based front-end which is connecting to our IBM-i server. To ensure proper auditing, our Java-app users have a corresponding user profile in the IBM-i. All works fine except when the password interval has been reached. At this point, the java program calls a CL program which uses the CHGUSRPRF command to change the password. The password change works but for some reason, the last login date is not getting updated. I do not have access to the Java app source so my options are limited to changing the CL responsible for the password change. I tried a SBMJOB after the CHGUSRPRF in the hope that this will simulate a login from the user. Unfortunately, this also did not update the last login date. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

US SCRAP GRINDER AND PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE Dec. 31, 1968 APPARAI Sheet Filed Sept. 30, 1986 INVENTOR.
United States Patent 3,418,694 APPARATUS SCRAP GRINDER AND PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE William Strauss, Huntiugdon Valley, Pa., assignor to Pennsalt Chemicals Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Sept. 30, 1966, Ser. No. 583,221 Claims. (Cl. 18-30) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Scrap grinding apparatus for continuously comminuting plastic scrap discharged from an injection molding machine and feeding comminuted scrap to the inlet port of the injection cylinder. A gate interposed in the conduit leading to the separable molds dispenses the scrap to the comminutor at predetermined intervals but always obstructs and prevents dust and hard particles produced during comminution from returning through the conduit to the molds so as to avoid fiy-back.
This invention relates to a grinder for scrap from a plastic injection molding machine. More specifically this invention relates to a compact grinder adapted to comminute runners, sprues, flashing and other scrap plastic from and providing fool-proof means for avoiding flyback from the grinder to the mold.
In the prior art it has been common to comminute the scrap from the plastic molding operation and to feed the scrap back into the injection molding extrusion cylinder along with virgin plastic. Disclosures of such arrangements are found in US. Patents 2,995,775 and 3,000,055. These former devices, however, did not present a compact arrangement which precluded any possibility of the projection of scrap back into the mold cavity. It is well known that the presence of cured hardened scrap in the die cavity could damage the dies. As a secondary point, because there has been a possibility of such fly-back, there has not been assurance of the delivery of a uniform amount of scrap plastic regrind to the machine inlet for each press cycle. As a result the composition of the product discharged from the press has not been uniform and in some cases has occasionally not met specifications.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a compact grinder with a fool-proof system for the avoidance of fly-back from the grinder to the mold.
It is a further object to assure that a uniform dose of plastic regrind is delivered to the injection molding machine for each cycle.
Further objects of the invention will be clear from reference to the attached specification, including drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a partly schematic and simplified view showing an apparatus embodying the invention;
FIGURE la is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view taken on the line la1a of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 2 is a partly sectional enlarged end view of the grinder of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a partly sectional side view of the apparatus of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURE 4 is a very schematic view showing the orientation between the metering means and the comminutor of the apparatus of the figures.
Briefly, the invention involves an apparatus for grinding scrap plastic from an injection molding machine. The operation of the grinder assures the avoidance of flyback into the mold and it assures the feed of a predetermined dose of ground plastic to the placsticizing portion of the molding machine.
Patented Dec. 31, 1968 Referring more specifically to the invention, an arrangement including an apparatus embodying the invention is shown in FIGURE 1 and is generally designated 10. The figure shows an injection molding machine 12 which may be of the reciprocating in-line screw type having extrusion cylinder 14 and a separable mold 16 and 16a adapted to be opened and closed by power means 18. Stripper means 20 removes the product from the mold once the mold is open and separately discharges the scrap and the desired product; Power means drive the stripper means in an arrangement well known in the art.
Disposed adjacent the injection molding machine is the scrap grinder 30 which includes a rotary comminutor 32 with blades 32a and having an outlet screen 34 and a closed housing with fixed blades 32b. Fly-back shielding means in the embodiments shown comprise a rotary drum 36 which is disposed above the inlet of the rotary comminutor 32. In the embodiment shown, the metering drum 36 is adapted to be driven by a motor 38 mounted on the side of the grinder housing. The drum receives the scrap directly from the mold through the scrap chute 40.
A motor 42 is, in the embodiment shown, disposed ad jacent the grinder and powers the comminutor 32. It also drives the blower 44 disposed thereunder. The blower generates air pressure to convey ground scrap received from funnel 46 beneath the screen 34, through the conduit 48 up to the hopper and inlet port 50 of the injection molding machine. The end 52 of the conduit 48 is held deeply in the hopper 50 by arms 52a so that the discharge from the conduit 48 is delivered directly into the machine feed port along with virgin material in uniform proportions cycle after cycle.
Control means 70, indicated schematically, controls the sequence of operation of the various elements of the injection molding machine and is connected to the motor 38 to drive the metering drum 36 at the appropriate time.
The more detailed views of the grinder in FIGURES 2 and 3 indicate that the housing of the grinder 30 is separable above the comminutor 32, the upper portion 30a being held down against the lower portion 301) by the wing bolts 54 as shown. This separability permits access to the comminutor chamber.
As shown, the rotor 32 is journaled at 56 in the opposite side walls of the lower portion 30b of the housing. The lower portion of the housing may be on wheels for mobility as shown.
The drum 36 (FIGURE 3) is journaled for rotation at 58 in the upper end 30a of the grinder. It is powered by motor 38 through a gear train represented generally by 60. The metering drum is provided with a pocket 62 to receive the scrap from chute 40. Rubber guards 64 funnel the scrap into the pocket. As will be understood the drum rotates, from the position shown in FIGURE 2, in a clockwise direction to face downwardly into the rotor 32 and discharge its dose of scrap at the appropriate time. The guard 66 disposed in the lower righthand corner of the metering drum housing as well as the right-hand guard 64 serve to keep scrap being ground by the rotor 32 from being thrown upwardly by the comminutor past the mouth 62 at the time when the mouth faces right as shown in FIGURE 2. This precludes flyback" of large scrap parts.
The sloping surfaces 68 disposed in the lower end of the metering housing funnel the scrap dose into the chamber of the rotor 32.
In operation the metering drum 36 faces upwardly to receive the scrap as it is ejected from the mold by stripper 20 and slides down chute 40. Thereafter as the press closes the control means 70 causes the motor 38 to rotate the drum 180 clockwise so that the pocket 62 faces downward and the scrap dose is delivered to the comminutor chamber. Because of the guards 64 and 66 no scrap can be thrown up from the comminutor chamber by the rotor 32. As the ground plastic passes through the screen 34 it is directly delivered through conduit 48 to the hopper 50 adjacent the extrusion cylinder inlet port. Because of the positioning of the discharge end 52 of the conduit 48 adjacent the port, the regrind is used on the next cycle of injection along with virgin material surrounding the conduit 48 in the hopper 50. This assures immediate, and therefore proportional, feed back of regrind into the molding machine.
The control means 70 then actuates the return of the metering drum to the original position with the mouth 62 thereoi facing upwardly to receive the next dose of scrap.
The comminutor rotor 32 and blower 44 operate continuously.
It should be noted that because of the rapid rotation of the rotor 32 there is some danger that some scrap could escape from the comminutor chamber. It is important d that there be no escape because such fly-back of hard plastic in the mold cavity, could, on the next cycle cause virtual destruction of the mold. The avoidance of such an occurrence is a primary objective of this invention. Further, the amount of scrap delivered to the hopper 50 for each cycle must be uniform. To avoid the escape of such fly-back the metering drum 36 serves as a guard over the upper end of the comminuting chamber irrespective of whether the drum 36 is facing up or down.
The tube 48 may be vented near the end 52 so that the blast of air coming therefrom will not overly disturb the plastic in the hopper 50.
Fail safe means connecting the shielding drum drive 38 and the press may be provided whereby an alarm is actuated if after a given time after the drum starts to rotate from its upward-facing position, it does not reach its downward-facing position. This could signal, for instance, the failure of motor 38.
It should be understood that while the embodiment shown is preferred, variations of the invention are possible. For instance, it would be possible to time the operation of the metering drum 36 so that it delivers plastic scrap to the comminutor chamber at some time other than as the press is closing. It is an essential of the invention, however, that the shelding means avoid fly-back and deliver a uniform dose of scrap to the comminuting chamber once each press cycle.
The present invention may thus be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or central attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims rather than the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.

I recently spent 10 wonderful days at the Disneyland Resort. Well actually it was back at the end of January, the beginning of February. My trip coincided with the Mice/Age 10th Anniversary. Anyway, while I was there, I managed to put thousands of photos onto my memory cards. I just own a small point and shoot camera, so I do just that. I point, and I shoot the picture.
I sometimes shoot photos with a goal in mind. One of my goals, is to be able to come home, and make collages on my computer. When I used my PC, I used a simple program called Collage Creator. Well the PC recently died, and I needed to switch my collage making to my Mac computer. I now use a Scrapbook program, along with my Picassa program to edit the pictures.
The purpose of this thread is to show off my handiwork. I wish that I could afford to paper scrap everything, but that just gets way too expensive. So I guess you can say, I have gone digital.
These following collages all have a similar theme, and so I am calling this my Character Collage Thread. Right now I just have a small amount of collages finished, so this will be a work in progress, and I will post collages a few at a time, as I complete them.

By Cheryl PellerinAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 30, 2011 U.S. Strategic Command's priority is to deter nuclear attack on the United States and its allies, but broader responsibilities in the 21st century include cybersecurity and missile defense, the organization's top officer said here yesterday.
Air Force Gen. C. Robert Kehler testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee for the first time since he assumed command of Stratcom in January.
"Of the threats we face, weapons of mass destruction clearly represent the greatest threat to the American people, particularly when they are pursued or possessed by violent extremists or state proliferators," Kehler said.
While nuclear deterrence is Stratcom's No. 1 priority, the general added, the command also has broader responsibilities in the 21st century, such as supporting U.S. Africa Command, he said.
"We provided B-2s early in [Operation Odyssey Dawn] for Africom's use," Kehler said. "We are also taking steps … to make sure they have the space capabilities they need, to make sure the networks there are operational and have sufficient capacity and are secured."
Stratcom also has long-term engagement in other regions of the world in support of other combatant commanders, the general added. Such activities, he said, "are primarily synchronizing -- synchronizing planning and capabilities for things like missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; electronic warfare; and combating weapons of mass destruction."
Another priority is to improve capabilities and operating concepts in the civil and national security areas of space and cyberspace, he added.
"Space is increasingly contested, congested and competitive," Kehler said, "and its importance to the United States goes far beyond national security."
Essential objectives include ensuring uninterrupted access to space and space-based capabilities, improving awareness of objects and activities in space, and enhancing the protection and resilience of critical systems, the general said. Achieving those objectives, he said, demands continued investments to improve space situational awareness and to sustain critical space capabilities while pursuing increased opportunities with allies and commercial partners.
Stratcom and its subunified command U.S. Cyber Command, he said, "are working hard to improve our organizations and relationships, enhance our network situational awareness and protection, increase our technical capacity, and develop the human capital we need as we look to the future."
Cyber threats include a range of sources, he said, from nuisance hackers and cybercrime to denial of services and potentially destructive activities.
"Our greatest challenge in cyberspace is to improve our ability to operate and defend the DOD network at network speed," Kehler said, "and to make sure our critical activities can continue, even in the face of adversary attempts to deny or disrupt them."
In every one of those cases as the roles of government, Defense Department and industry are defined, the top issue is "making sure we've put in place the right relationships, the right roles and responsibilities and in some cases making sure we have the right authorities in place so that we can act at what our cyber experts would call network speed, which is a very tough challenge for us," Kehler said.
The memorandum of agreement on cyberspace signed in October between the Defense and Homeland Security departments, the general added, is "a very, very good start." The next steps include improving situational cyber awareness among the combatant commands and into the public domain, he added.
Stratcom also must recruit and retain the best cyber experts and resolve the question of authorities, Kehler said, "so we have properly sorted out this balance between our constitutional protections and our need to act on behalf of the nation, with the appropriate civil authorities in the lead."
Kehler said the services are helping to bolster cyber recruitment, and he noted that at least one service has put cyber awareness training into place from basic training on up.
"Almost like every Marine is a rifleman [and] every sailor is a firefighter, every service member, certainly every airman, … is going to be a cyber defender," he said.
Another front for Stratcom, Kehler said, is the phased, adaptive approach for missile defense in Europe. Missile defense for the United States has been based on two major objectives, he said.
"Objective No. 1 has been to make sure that our homeland is protected against a limited ballistic-missile attack from North Korea and to extend that if events warrant and Iran develops similar capacity," he said.
The second objective that has emerged, Kehler said, has been to ensure Stratcom is responding to rapidly growing regional threats.
The phased, adaptive approach is intended to put resources into the combatant command theaters to bolster the defenses of U.S. troops and allies in such a way that is adaptable to the threat, he said.
"I support that," he added. "I think that's the right way to go forward."

A battle may be brewing over the future of Kentucky higher education -- should the state add another state university, this one serving Appalachia?
The leader of the Kentucky House thinks so -- and he said he won't support any extra funding for higher education until the University of Pikeville joins the state university system.
"You know if they want my support in helping do whatever to get some more money into higher education then somebody better be figuring out what to do with that situation up there," Kentuck House Speaker Greg Stumbo said in a recent interview with Kentucky Public Radio.
Stumbo, whose district covers parts of Eastern Kentucky, said he will continue pushing legislation until UPike becomes Kentucky's ninth state university.
