A van and a plan
Mar 3, 2008 at 12:04 PM 0 Comments
Switching on the radio between 7 and 9 a.m. is never a positive endeavor.
Car accidents, backups and ominous air quality warnings are as common to a Portlander's commute as a travel mug of coffee.
But eco-entrepreneurs Fiona Mitchell, Jesse Yun and William Sampson think they've found a way to ease the stress of commuting in the form of a big, white biodiesel van.
The nine-passenger van, powered by "B100" fuel - all biodiesel with zero traditional fuel - has spent its last seven months acting as an eco-conscious limousine service, ferrying revelers to vineyards, Portland nightclubs and even the coast as part of EcoShuttle's special events services.
"We began as an airport shuttle," Mitchell, marketing and advertising director and co-owner of EcoShuttle, said. "Then we started using it as an entertainment shuttle to supplement our income." [Read more]

I don't know if any meal or smell can transport me to childhood as quickly as Pot Roast made in a slow cooker..
It's just one of those meals – the ones where the mere whiff of it sends my memory tumbling and twirling and sets my senses afire.
The scent of savory roast, sweet onions, tender baby carrots and earthly potatoes are one of the scents that define my childhood and are the true definition of comfort food for me.
Unfortunately I'm not a child anymore, and Nathan and I are trying to eat healthier – which means more veggies, more lean meat and a lot less carbs!
When I saw this Balsamic and Onion Pot Roast recipe on Kaylyn's Kitchen – I immediately printed it out and flew to the store to buy the roast.
I made a few adjustments to her recipe – which she made as part of the Phase One of the SB Diet – so if you're SB-ing it… go check her recipe out!
I really think that the onions are one of the keys to this pot roast
I used sweet white onions which I think pair beautifully with the rich beef stock and the slight tang of the balsamic vinegar.
Seriously, y'all…
Nathan and I have decided that this might be the best pot roast we've ever had and that's saying a mouthful.
This recipe is so simple and delicious.
Beef Stock, Balsamic Vinegar, a bit of tomato paste, good quality lightly marbled roast, onions and baby carrots…
This is one of the healthiest, lightest, most melt in your mouth delicious pot roasts that I've ever had
Sweet, Savory, Juicy, Tangy and absolutely Melt In Your Mouth Delicious
This post roast is perfect for a cool fall day, a busy sports filled day or just because you enjoy walking into a house that smells like a little bit of heaven.
- 3.5 lb boneless roast
- 3 Tbsp favorite spice rub - I use Zatarain's Big and Zesty Garlic and Herb
- 2 Tbsp butter (real butter, please)
- ¼ C water or good red wine to deglaze your skillet
- 4 Large white onions, peeled and thickly sliced about ½ inch rings
- 2 C baby carrots
- 1 C beef stock, reduced to ½ C
- ½ C (4 oz) balsalmic vinegar
- *3 sprigs fresh rosemary for garnish
- ½ C (4 oz) tomato paste
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and just prior to adding your seasoned roast, add in the butter
- Season the roast all over with your seasoning - I used the Zatarain's Big and Zesty Garlic and Herb..
- Brown the roast on all sides in your cast iron skillet (cast iron skillets really are the only thing for true, delicious browning - says this southern girl)
- While the roast is browning, bring the beef stock to a boil, once the beef stock has boiled - lower the heat a tad and allow it to reduce to ½ C.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool while you slice the onions and deal with the browning roast.
- Place the sliced onions and carrots on the bottom of the slow cooker
- Top with the seasoned, browned roast
- Use ¼ C Water or Red Wine to deglaze your skillet - because as we all know, that's where some serious flavor and yumminess resides...
- Mix the ½ C balsamic vinegar and ½ C tomato paste with the cooled beef stock and deglazed pan drippings until well blended, pour over the roast
- Cover and cook over low for 6 to 8 hours (or 8 to 10 hours) depending upon your slow cooker's settings.
Here are a few of my favorite recipes from last week's linky:
- Jen's Palmier's are easy, delicious and addictive!
- Chica Chocolatina's Ghost Cake is an adorable Halloween party idea
- Hezzi D at me at Sriracha with her Crispy Zucchini Fries with Sriracha Mayo dipping Sauce
- I put on 10 lbs just reading Miz Helen's Mexican Bread Pudding (totally worth it)
It's that time again – it's Monday – time for us to share our favorite recipes from the past week – the deliciousness that we've been sharing with our friends and families.
I can't wait to see what y'all have in store this week!
Thank y'all for linking up every week!
Make sure that you link up, link back, share, and make sure you visit each other and say Hi!

The Andy Warhol Diaries
Best ingested in small doses, The Andy Warhol Diaries are the closest thing there will ever be to Warhol's autobiography—yet it is more honest and revealing than an autobiography could ever be. He dictated his diary to Pat Hackett, his secretary, around 9 A.M. every morning Monday-Friday...legal pad, tape recorder, hotel stationary, typewriter, and receipts—yes, even receipts and dollar amounts are given cameos in various entries (cab $3.50, Newsweek $2, dinner $200, etc). So that the diary could be published in one large volume, Hackett distilled its original length of 20,000 pages down to what she felt was most representative of Andy.
From the intimate (Tuesday, February 17, 1987: the days before his untimely death) to the mundane (Monday, August 28, 1979: Warhol visits his dentist in Montauk) to the candid (Wednesday, February 15, 1978: "Hung over, couldn't get out of bed.") to the humorous (Tuesday, March 27, 1979: Warhol tells his friend Brigid to "go to church and pray to God" when she's freaking out about her weight), the 807 pages paint a picture of a shy, ambitious, generous, bitchy, funny, phobic, and tormented man.
"Andy had a late adolescence—in his twenties he'd worked very hard at his commercial art career; he didn't take much time out to have fun, really, until he was in his thirties. So he terrorized people the way, for instance, the most popular girl in high school could—creating cliques and setting up rivalries just for the "entertainment" value of watching people fight for his attention. But toward the end of the seventies he started to mellow."
—Pat Hackett
7/18/2011 at 11:15 AM:
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts (Nashville, TN) is currently hosting an excellent Warhol exhibit thru Sept 11.

Excellent. I was in London when it was released. In a way, ideal bedtime reading.

I'm a big fan of Andy Warhol, but I feel he is still largely misunderstood by many - even within artistically inclined circles. I'll probably check this out.

WATERTOWN, Mass. - Police say the Boston Marathon bombing suspects used their carjacking victim's ATM card before a gunfight with authorities.
Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau says the suspects also told the carjacking victim they bombed Monday's race and killed a police officer.
A car chase and shootout ensued when a Watertown officer saw the two brothers in different cars and followed them.
The suspects exchanged gunfire with police, wounding a transit officer and tossing a bomb and two hand grenades.
Deveau says Tamerlan Tsarnaev ran out of ammunition and police tackled him, before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev drove the carjacking victim's Mercedes toward them.
Police dove out of the way and the Mercedes dragged the other suspect's body down the block.
Police negotiated Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's surrender after a resident saw him in his boat hours later.

so whats the deal with DL's? I've heard DVD+R DL is what we need to use, aswell as doing some layerbreak settings in imgburn???
I've been using TDK | DVD-R 16x mostly with a side of Philips DVD-R 16x from time to time. I also purchase Wii games, so before I get into the whole laser reading issue, the game I've played the most has to be Rockband 2 and its a real disc of course not burned at all. All the hours clocked on my wii have been from that game about 90% I'd say. From having parties and good ole fashion single/multiplaying online since the game was launched for the wii I've clocked serious hours. I've also had my wii modded since 3.4 or so. Only recently has my Wii drive started with clicking noises, I'd assume thats from long durations of RB2. So nowadays I'm playing from my 8gb thumbdrive cycling through discs from time to time using WBFS manager. Avoiding if/when the drive goes
DVD-R has always been the default blank DVD's. The main problem here is, some DVD Writers actually prefer DVD+R as the default media (like my laptop), as for my desktop ,I own 2 Pioneers that will ONLY burn DVD-R and a laptop that will ONLY burn DVD+R, it has nothing to do with the type of media either check your manufacturer for details on your drive burning specs. Also a firmware update can solve issues if you are having any. Also OEM drives can differ from the actually product details seen on your manufacturers website.
I've burned thousands of CD's and DVD's over god knows how long of a period. I still have the first CD Data disc I ever burned when burners first came out, the Media was Memorex and to this day the disc still works and sits in one of those sleeve books, As opposed to other media such as CompUSA and Samsung media I still have where you can see the disc has deteriorated greatly. So quality is definitely a factor as for reading between DVD-R and +R, I dont think you will really notice a difference with your Wii. Although I can't be certain I've always used DVD-R. Either way both formats are bad and both were not made for your Wii, Factory Pressed is the best, although you can still have bad luck and burn your laser out like I almost did.

also as im typing this i am trying to burn new guitar hero worriers and i noticed even tho i set it up to burn at 2x its switching to 4x it says "Write Speed Miscompare! - Wanted: 2,770 KB/s (2x), Got: 5,540 KB/s (4x)" not sure why or how hmmm. ill keep messing with it and if i find fix befor someone post ill post it ;]

Mad respect to the one's making this possible and for everyone who helped me get it to work thanks again!
Hi guys.
Ive been burning and playing my backup games for about 12 months now and all of a sudden im getting errors when trying new games, still using the same dvd-r's ive always used. (sorry can't remember the error codes off the top of my head, at work right now)
could this be a bad batch of dvds or do you think my laser is on the way out?
original and old backup games still read fine, its just the newer backups ive done.
That crappy Optiarc DVD burner that comes with most Gateway laptops. It has yet to burn a proper ISO to DVD for Wii games. Instead of investing in an external burner, I went for the HDD option.
Thanks for all the guides gentlemen. You've helped make my kid a happy guy with his reworked Wii. ;-)
Don't know if this bit of information will help but I'm using an HP DVD A DH16AAL (it's a compaq presario 5300F) and I've used Memorex DVD-R to burn some games and they've all worked perfectly. I used IMGBurn at 4x, and the only problems I've had are skipping videos, but that's prevalent in burned games. Now I'm using my WD 320gb external with USB Loader GX and no more DVD's for me.

Friday brings a chance to comment on Cape Canaveral Spaceport master plan
By Pat Andrews
posted Apr 23, 2013 - 9:41:09am
Space Florida will hold a workshop soliciting public comment on its 2013 Cape Canaveral Spaceport master plan.
The workshop is planned for 9-11 a.m. Friday, April 26, at the Cape Canaveral Port Authority Chambers, at 445 Challenger Road, Cape Canaveral.
"The plan, compiled every two to three years, provides information to guide Space Florida in its efforts to modernize and expand infrastructure at the Cape Canaveral Spaceport," spokeswoman Tina Lange said.
A number of Space Florida's proposed projects in the 2010 Spaceport Master Plan were proposed by the Space Florida board of directors for funding from the state, the Florida Department of Transportation and other financing sources. A total of $32 million in infrastructure funding has been allocated in 2012 and 2013.
Projects include the transformation of the Orbiter Processing Facility 3 into the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility, improvements to launch complexes 40 and 46, and a payload encapsulation and integration facility.
"It is important for the public to participate in this discussion, so we can advance investment in the best infrastructure to benefit Florida's aerospace industry and economy," said Vice President of Spaceport Operations for Space Florida Mark Bontrager.
A call for projects is scheduled for 1-2 p.m., after the workshop.

Ask them why they want to see the already-in-place buildings and infrastructure at the Cape continue to sit empty and turn to rust, while they usurp part of publicly (that means US) owned lands for the private venture.
And who says local people will get the jobs?
The real reason is that this eccentric billionaire who's pushing the project, does not want to work with NASA. He wants to be the only one in the sandbox and have HIS OWN spaceport and he doesn't care about the consequences of siting.
Why have alternate locations not been researched?
Bottom line: This is Rick Scott's way to try to get re-elected. YOu might call it his very own Ocean Center (hey Frank Bruno are you listening?)

"Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you" (vs3-5).
The truth of the gospel must continue, because it is only by the gospel that we are saved. We are accursed by nature, coming into the world dead in sins, and we are utterly wicked, even collectively guilty of the murder of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27). Yet, in the gospel, God reveals how He may be just and justify the ungodly, how He saves sinners without compromising His perfect holiness (Rom 1:16-17; Rom 3:21-26).
He gave the Son, the Lord Jesus, to die on behalf of His elect, determining that He's save sinners whom He'd chosen before the world began (Heb 13:20). He took our sins and suffered in our place, as God punished Him fully for our unrighteousness. Therefore, when He forgives by faith it is justified, because He put away the sins, and He can declare us righteous because of what His Son did for us. Yet, without the gospel, people perish in the bondage of false religion. They are under the curse, under the law, and they can NEVER have peace by their attempts to do good. A man is saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, or he stands before God on his own at the Judgment, filled with sin. Paul was willing to fight and stand for the gospel, because personal comfort and popularity don't matter. One thing matters, and it is the truth of the gospel, and if you believe it, then you care about people enough to tell the truth, no matter the cost.
How do you feel about the gospel? Is it essential in its essence, something to be untouched by man and declared as is? Is it important enough to suffer to proclaim it? If you love sinners, if you know there is no other way, then you are like Paul, willing to stand for the truth of the gospel, not to be seen as bold, but because it is the only life rope the drowning sinner has. Gospel truth is the only hope, and without it, God's wrath is guaranteed forever. Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is THE power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith'. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness" (Rom 1:16-18).
You won't be free by trying hard to improve yourself. You'll be forgiven and empowered by BELIEVING what Christ did for you, and then believing that God will bless you freely because of it. The truth of the gospel is the most important thing in the world, because the soul is the most important thing, and ONLY by the gospel can we be saved!
Secondly, the gospel makes us like God, generous and gracious (Gal 2:6-10). Paul writes, "and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do". Not only is my relationship with God changed, but He changes my relation to people. I am no longer the selfish self-server, the arrogant wretch, who used people and cared for no one. Now, having all things in Christ, and coming to faith, we live and treat people how He commands, being changed from the inside. Justification by faith ALSO sanctifies, so that the poor sinner who trusts Christ becomes a loving saint who helps poor sinners and God's people. In Galatians 2, we are taught to give, and the church gives to support pastors and poor saints. Romans 15:26-27 says, "For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things".
The church's job isn't to build schools or houses, it is not to change politics and overthrow the government. Our job is to preach the gospel, and we are to lovingly help those who believe it. In Acts 11:27-30, there was a famine in Jerusalem, so the gospel churches gathered an offering for the saints. We are likewise given instructions on how to support poor widows, but not all widows – only those who've proven themselves, living by faith. Paul teaches us, "Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number (for financial support), and not unless she has been the wife of one man, well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work" (1 Tim 5:3-10). Coming to Christ means that you've done more than get right with God: you've also become a member of God's family, the church, and we show God's love by HELPING each other. We do not condemn or ignore each other in a time of need.
You can be sure that faith in Christ ALWAYS leads to love (God's way) toward people. Looking up to heaven for acceptance will always lead to looking upon your fellow saints with pity, compassion, and willingness to help (1 John 3:16-23). Grace makes us gracious, and as we go about preaching the gospel, we must always remember to preach it by how we treat each other, and this we will do, if we are REALLY His.
Finally, salvation is personal (Gal 2:11-20)! Paul said, "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me". It is not something that says, "Christ died for people in general"; it always includes, "for me", if there is any power. The only way to live for Christ is to know, by faith and personal experience, that you are saved by Christ, that He died for and loves you. The only way to love others is to be sure of His love, receiving it freely, because you don't have anything else to give (Gal 2:16). Therefore, you lean all your weight upon the Son of God and trust all of your soul's salvation to Him. This personal experience of "Christ died for ME", and, "He loves ME", is the power of holy living and assurance. It is the peace that comes from actually taking God at His word, no matter how I feel, and walking about my life believing the goodness of the invisible God!
If you have God's peace, then you believe God's Son, and if you're depressed and discouraged, if you're continually burdened and pained by sin… uncomforted… then it is because, no matter what you know about Christ dying for the elect, you don't believe that He died for you. You may decipher justification by faith in exact terms, but your lack of love and holiness reveals head knowledge, instead of heart faith. This must be personal, my friend. Cast aside EVERY OTHER option, because the law can't help you, and there is no other way. It is Christ or hell and the wrath of God. Either I'm forgiven, or I'm damned. Either I'm accepted, or I'm unrighteous, God's wrath is on me, and my prayers and very existence is abominable to Him. It is either be SAVED by Christ or be DAMNED without Him, and because of this, I trust myself to the Son, receive His death and blood, and I live justified. Now, I have peace, and now I can be peaceable towards my brother. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't merely "understand" the gospel, and do not satisfy yourself in another person's joy. Take the Son for your own, by faith only, and believe that He is yours, and He is!

If shooting indoors in a room with a white ceiling, think about using flash with one of these attached:
I get excellent results with it in those circumstances. The flash essentially becomes part bounce and part forward radiating, with very soft modeling.
It works best with a flash with auto setting or TTL. Otherwise you have to guesstimate the correct setting or use a flash meter.

Tar Heels have plenty of questions remaining
North Carolina entered the 2012-13 season surrounded by uncertainty. Four starters had left for the NBA, and the two most experienced returning players were coming off major knee surgeries.
The results were good but not great, at least by UNC's standards. The Tar Heels made the NCAA Tournament and reached the ACC final but were nowhere close to their customary achievements — first in the ACC standings and an Elite Eight appearance, levels the program had reaches in six of coach Roy Williams' first nine seasons.
"We've got a chance to be a sensational basketball team again." Williams said after UNC's round of 32 loss to Kansas.
The answers to these five questions will determine if that happens.
Will anyone leave for the NBA?
Leading scorer P.J. Hairston, leading rebounder James Michael McAdoo and most consistent player Reggie Bullock have decisions to make this month.
"They're going to be NBA players; there's no doubt in my mind," Williams said. "Is it going to be next year? I think that's a big question. I think each one of those kids can gain a great deal from coming back and improving their game."
McAdoo went through the process a year ago before deciding to return — and then saw his stock actually decline. Will that experience convince him to go before he falls further or will he spend next season developing inside moves and becoming more attractive to pro teams?
At least McAdoo still is projected to be a mid-to-late first-round pick. Bullock and Hairston haven't reached that level, and no underclassman has left UNC without being selected in the first round since junior Jeff McInnis in 1996.
Still, none of the three players have announced their intentions, so each is at least considering leaving.
Will Williams be forced to stay with a small lineup?
Even while it led to UNC's late-season resurgence, Williams said how uncomfortable he was with the perimeter-oriented lineup.
"The rest of my career, I'm not going to be small, I can tell you that," Williams said before the ACC Tournament.
The drawbacks became apparent in the loss to Kansas, when the quicker Tar Heels got 23 points off 22 turnovers but were outrebounded 50-36 and couldn't get points in the paint to compensate for 30.1 percent shooting.
But will the coach have a choice? The reason he went to a four-guard lineup was because he couldn't find a reliable big man to complement McAdoo. Sophomore Desmond Hubert and freshmen Joel James and Brice Johnson all had their chances to start at center, and no one could win the job.
With Leslie McDonald and J.P. Tokoto on the bench next season, Williams again could be looking at a lineup with more talented wings than post players.
Who will be the fifth starter?
Even if McAdoo, Bullock and Hairston all come back to play alongside point guard Marcus Paige, that still leaves one unknown starter. Williams will have at least six options to fill the opening in the frontcourt — Hubert, James, Johnson, sophomore Jackson Simmons and incoming recruits Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks.
Hubert is an outstanding defensive player but a liability on offense, while Johnson is the opposite. James may have the most potential but still is raw, and Simmons is strong fundamentally but has limited upside.
Clearly Meeks or Hicks have the opportunity to start as freshmen, but there are concerns with them, as well. Meeks has solid post moves and great hands but needs to work on conditioning, while Hicks is an excellent rebounder and shot blocker but will need time to adjust to the college game.
Will there by any last-minute additions?
UNC will have at least three newcomers — Meeks, Hicks and lefty point guard Nate Britt. But there's still a possibility for more. Andrew Wiggins, the consensus No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2013, is deciding among Kentucky, Kansas, Florida State and UNC, where he made his official visit on the weekend the Tar Heels hosted Duke.
Top talent has tended to gravitate toward Kentucky under John Calipari, and both of Wiggins' parents went to Florida State. But Williams has shown the ability to get the nation's top recruit by landing Harrison Barnes three seasons ago.
If Williams is unhappy with his options in the post, he could also get a graduate student transfer, like when Alabama's Justin Knox went to UNC for the 2010-11 season after Ed Davis declared for the NBA and David and Travis Wear left for UCLA.
Can UNC win any trophies next season?
After finishing third in the ACC regular season, losing the league tournament final and winning one game in the NCAA Tournament, UNC is hoping for championships in 2013-14.
"It hurts not to win anything," McAdoo said after the Kansas loss.
The opportunity certainly is there. ACC champion Miami is losing at least four starters and possibly all five if sophomore Shane Larkin decides to leave early. Duke is graduating its three best players, and N.C. State is losing five of its top six.
The toughest competition in the 15-team ACC may come from the newcomers. Syracuse will be coming off a Final Four appearance, and Notre Dame and Pittsburgh traditionally are strong programs.
The Tar Heels could lose four starters for a second straight year and fail to develop a consistent inside game. Or P.J. Hairston could lead the league in scoring, and 11 returning scholarship players could continue the momentum from this past season and become an ACC and NCAA title contender.

Volunteer Leadership
Annual Fund Executive Committee
Working closely with the Annual Giving staff the Annual Fund Executive Committee (AFEC) provides guidance for the entire class agent and reunion committee programs. AFEC is made up of lead class agents who take an active role in ensuring that Middlebury meets its Annual Fund goals and commitments.
The Annual Fund
Gifts to the Annual Fund support the professor who taught you how to think, the coach who showed you how to lead, the mentor who set you on your professional path. They bring the country and the world together in a community where a kid from Boston and a kid from Bosnia can share their family stories in Chinese. They make possible the friendships strong enough to last for decades.
"A gift to Middlebury is a gift to the future, because Middlebury students go on to accomplish great things. So when I say thanks for your gift to Middlebury, I really mean thanks for helping to make a better world."
—Bob Bourque '75, P '16
Chair, Annual Fund Executive Committee
Why Alumni Giving Matters
The Annual Fund supports every student, professor, program, and department on campus. It provides the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances and to take advantage of new opportunities. It helps to bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating a student and the comprehensive fee. Every gift truly counts—no matter the size.
Why Give to Middlebury?
Your gift to Middlebury helps teach exceptional young people how to understand the world and contribute to it. With its focus on the environment and international education, the College prepares its students to tackle the world's most pressing challenges and to recognize and develop new opportunities.
Your Middlebury education was made possible because generations of alumni and friends shared with us through the Annual Fund. Your gifts help students aspire to make the world a better place, knowing that those who came before them are behind them all the way.
