My Favorite Photos of Tim
It's my brother-in-law's birthday.
In honor of Pesky Tim, here are my favorite photos I have of the dude.
There's Contemplative Tim. I have hundreds just like this one. He's on his horse, quietly considering what's next.
Do you pronounce it "con-TEMP-luh-tiv" or "CON-tem-plate-iv?"
I say the former.
There's All-Business Tim. He's in a zone–his only concern is getting the current job (here, he's roping calves one by one) completed.
Then there's this one. This is one of my all-time favorite photos of Tim. He's Contemplative, All-Business, Horse-Loving, and Denim-Wearing all at once.
Not really. He was fixing fence.
I think.
There's Blowing-Raspberries-at-the-Cattle Tim.
Sometimes they won't move if you don't.
There's Wrestle-With-the-Kids-Tim.
Together, my boys can almost take him down now.
The next few years will be such a fun show.
There's With-Missy Tim, where he's always bound to have a nice, contented grin on his face.
Then there's Father-of-my-Niece Tim, quite possibly the tenderest side of the ol' fella.
I really love this photo. It was a sweet, sincere moment.
It touches me.
And finally, there's Smiling, Laughing Tim. This one has to be my favorite.
It captures the ol' guy just perfectly.
Happy birthday to My Pesky Brother-in-Law, Tim!
I just love ya, man.

Hester in OK On Saturday, July 16 at 12:15 pm
Well, being born in Virginia, but raised in Oklahoma, if we ever get the chance to say the word, we say "con-temp-PLAY-tiv" But, if we want to show off to city-folk? It's "con-TEMP-pla-tive"… we like messin' with people!
Mindi W. On Saturday, July 16 at 12:40 pm
His horse is absolutely gorgeous!
Stacey On Saturday, July 16 at 1:33 pm

Great pictures of Tim. Would love to see some nice photos of both you and your husband together. Perhaps one of your children could do the honors. Or, you could also post some of your wedding photos (maybe to celebrate your anniversary). Have just read and enjoyed "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels". Your blog is my favorite break from work.

Martha b On Sunday, July 17 at 2:24 pm
Love the photos of your bro in law…I especially like the one with his wife…now you must post a bunch of MM for us next.
Cowgirl WannaB On Sunday, July 17 at 2:53 pm
O.K., i'm going to sound like a city slicker (which my country cousins called me), but what does blowing rasberries at cattle mean?
To Pesky brother in laws everywhere! Happy birthday Pesky Tim, What a wonderful birthday card for you. Thanks for sharing Ree.
P.S. keep the chaps, kilts hold nothing to a man in denim and chaps, something about the knobby knees and what or the lack of what is underneath a kilt is somewhat disturbing. I'd like to see you get the boys in kilts though, that would be interesting! HaHa!
D'Ann On Sunday, July 17 at 4:16 pm
Happy Birthday, Tim!!!!!!!!!
Kaye On Sunday, July 17 at 4:29 pm
Beware the horse does not upstage the man. I may, however, have switched allegiance in these last few years.
I can't believe all the blue eyes!
betty On Sunday, July 17 at 6:42 pm
Thanks for your post few days ago about your friend losing her son,and your prayer. Last night my best friend lost her 17yr old daughter in a car accident, too. It is devastating. We are also in a small town thank goodness, because the support and caring of so many people must help. The father of this beautiful girl also lost his 17 year old brother to a truck accident a few years ago. Lots of prayers are being said.

amandajane On Monday, July 18 at 12:37 am
tell pesky tim i have the denim pic as my desktop now b/c he looks so much like my dad there it made me cry and laugh at the same time.
fingers crossed, rain dances and hard and fast prayers to end this drought.
we started feeding prickly pear this week.
MissouriMom On Monday, July 18 at 10:16 am
I say "CON-tem-plate-iv?" but I'll accept your enunciation if you have Chuck (a former Oakie from Muskogee) and me for dinner some time. We'd drive the distance, that's for sure and I'd bring some of my home made cherry brandy.
Kristin On Monday, July 18 at 2:13 pm
Wow, is it just me, or does he really resemble Greg Kinnear?
Lyndsay N On Monday, July 18 at 7:34 pm
I never thought I would ever share something with Tim but now I do! The same Birthday!!
deb On Tuesday, July 19 at 5:55 am

Ranch Girl On Tuesday, July 19 at 4:51 pm
I love all of those photos of Tim, but especially the first 3!! The one w/the fence has always been one of my favorites. I hope Tim had a wonderful Birthday!!
Delia Salazar On Thursday, July 21 at 11:13 am
Tim's wife looks Meryl Streepish and Tim looks very Greg Kinnearish in the picture of them together.
Kim On Sunday, July 24 at 10:12 pm
What a beautiful family! Happy belated birthday to Tim!

Lenovo has issued a worldwide recall for some models of its ThinkCentre all-in-one PCs due to a fire hazard posed by a faulty power supply.
It is urging customers to immediately unplug the power cord and stop using M70z and M90z models sold between May 1, 2010 and January 30, 2012.
The PC maker is recalling 160,000 of the affected PCs globally.
The Australian Compeition and Consumer Commission has released a product safety notice for Australian M90z customers, citing danger of possible overheating and smoke due to some defective metalized capacitors inside the power supplies.
The M70z is not available locally.
Affected users can contact Lenovo's Support Centre on 131426 for a free replacement power supply.
The PC maker said in a statement that it "apologises for the inconvenience caused by these issues".

It has been reported that an investigation over the Hampshire's children's heart unit has yet again been initiated. In the investigation, it would be gauged whether or not the unit should be allowed to stay open.
At present, there are 11 centers nationwide. The Health Department wants to reduce the number of the centers to six or seven. The Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts (JCPCT) would be investigating whether or not the unit needs to be closed down. The JCPT would be consulting the health professionals, patients and staff for the same.
It has been informed that a final decision would be taken on the 4th of July. It is expected that the children's heart surgery would be shut down at the Royal Brompton located in London. The staff of the Royal Brompton is in the favor of keeping the unit.
The decision of reinvestigating the unit has caused a stir among the staff of the Royal Brompton. While supporting the unit, the Royal Brompton and Harefield Trust argued that the children's heart surgery is an integral part of the working of the health sector and therefore it should not be shut down.
In a statement, the JCPT noted, "…we remain convinced that there is a vital role for specialist cardiac and respiratory care for children and older patients to be fully integrated in a specialist trust such as ours, which works with the significant research power of our partner Imperial College".
Earlier, an investigation over the unit confirmed that the unit should be shut down. However, the JCPT was in the opposition of the decision. The JCPT appealed to the court and got the permission of reinvestigating the working of the unit. The medical professionals, families and patients are hopeful that the unit would not be shut down.

Adam Brody Is JLA's Flash?
Warner Bros. keeping mum.
The latest, from a report published today in The Los Angeles Times, says The O.C.'s Adam Brody is all set to play the Flash in George Miller's live-action adaptation. Warner Bros. will likely hold off on any JLA announcements until the entire cast is in place, but in the meantime, it's still fun to speculate -- as the Times does here:
Brody, best known as the heartthrob on "The O.C.," joins Australian supermodel Megan Gale, who was reportedly cast as Wonder Woman, apparently beating out Jessica Biel for the part.
Among the other young actors rumored to have been cast are "Friday Night Lights"' Scott Porter as Superman and "Wolf Creek's" Teresa Palmer as Talia al Ghul -- a recurring love interest for Batman. Common was rumored to be playing the Green Lantern (a.k.a. John Stewart).
The Times references an earlier report from Slashfilm, saying Brody will play the nephew of the second Flash, Barry Allen.

How does Wyndham make David's reaction to Aunt Harriet's death so very disturbing?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Your syntax is a bit unclear. Wyndham has David so very disturbed by his aunt's death because this is a dramatic introduction for him to the Waknukian ideology that human deviations must be culled (killed) just like crop or cattle imperfections.
Wyndham makes the event so very disturbing to the reader so as to dramatize his point that blindly following biases, sacrosanct ideologies, and established paradigms of behavior will be the doom of the human race.

FULLERTON, Calif. -
Senior midfielder Chris Smith delivered a rocket shot in the 29th minute that held up as the game winner as the No. 20 Cal State Northridge Matadors (13-4-1, 5-3-1 Big West) shut out the Cal State Fullerton Titans (6-10-1, 3-5-1 Big West) 1-0 on Wednesday night at Titan Stadium. With the win the Matadors, defending conference champions, clinched their second straight bid to the Big West Conference Tournament and third in school history.
Northridge, needing a victory to keep pace with UC Irvine in the Big West's South Division, came out firing on all cylinders and registered the first shot of the match just 59 seconds in when Mynor Giron's attempt was blocked at the top of the box.
In the 27th minute, a scrum in front of the net nearly led to the breakthrough for the Matadors. With Smith, Sagi Lev-Ari and Trevor Morley all converging in the box on a free kick the ball made its way to Fullerton goalkeeper Robbie Hannon. Hannon had it slip from his grasp while on the ground but a teammate was able to clear the ball off the line before Smith could get to it near the right post.
Just over a minute later the ball would find the back of the net for the Matadors thanks to the play of Smith, Lev-Ari and Carlos Benavides, who subbed in shortly before. Following a throw in for Northridge in the 29th minute the ball fell to Benavides, who poked it forward to Lev-Ari.
With his back to the net Lev-Ari dropped a pass back toward midfield for Smith who met it in stride and blasted a shot from distance into the top left of the goal past Hannon. With the assist, Benavides moved into a tie with John Tronson (1984-86) for eighth all-time for career assists at CSUN with 23.
At the halftime break the Matadors led the Titans in shots 8-3 and corner kicks 2-1. Northridge changed up the style a little in the second half, opting to sit back in hopes of catching Fullerton with a counterattack.
CSUN goalkeeper Damien Lewis, making his first career start, was tested just once all night and recorded a save for his first Northridge shutout. In the 56th minute, a shot by Mark Vasquez was saved by Lewis without much danger.
In the second half the Matadors added seven more shots and six more corner kicks to their total and allowed the Titans to take just six shots all night. With time running down at the end of the match, Northridge played for possession to secure the victory.
All eyes turn to Saturday now as the Matadors get set for the regular-season finale at UC Irvine at 7 p.m. With a win, Northridge will earn a share of the South Division title. If CSUN can win by two goals or more, the Matadors will win the tiebreaker with UCI and earn the top seed in next week's conference tournament.

LAS CRUCES >> A trio of giant potatoes lurk in a flower garden, looking like visitors from another world. A humongous watering can stands ready for a giant's chores. And fairies swing and play in trees and secret glades. Strange structures emerge in a pumpkin patch, perfect rustic retreats for a game of hide-and-seek.
The mystical manifestations were created by Rachel Stevens' New Mexico State University sculpture students, part of a project that adds artistic magic to the Mesilla Valley Maze.
"Out of Our Minds and Into the Maze" is the theme for the project, which involved students from throughout the Southwest, as well as Mexico and Iran.
"So it's an international exhibit this year," said Anna Lyles, who owns the award-winning maze with her husband, Steve.
Art students Davina Miyaval of Mexico City and Shadi Zehtabian of Tehran, Iran, collaborated to add an exotic curtain of multicolored leaf shapes to a secluded glade.
"We are looking for the interaction between the leaves and breeze, during the four seasons" they said in their artists' statement.
Eddie Bilodeau of Las Cruces, who's worked at the maze for 11 years, said the thousands of school kids who are visiting the 45-acre Lyle Family Fun Farm this month are intrigued by the artistic installations.
"The little kids thinks it's kind of cool. You have to explain to some of them what art is," said Bilodeau.
He said a particular favorite is "Unleash the Spuds," by Adrian Mijares of El Paso. Large sculptures have fanciful "eyes" that could evoke anything from fantasy to horror, as the viewer spots the three giant "potatoes" in a pretty garden of colorful flowers.
The artist's goal was "emphasizing one of the favorite crops of America, the potato. They are unearthed and create interaction between soil, plants and people," Mijares said.
"Watered Down," a giant watering can sculpture by Taylor Reed, conjures visions of gentle giants tending their crops, and is another favorite with visiting kids.
"Every child is a seed and everything that is provided here gives life to them; whether they touch, see, hear, smell or taste something, it is all infusing them in some way," Reed opines.
At first glance, two large structural sculptures by Sandra Martinez of Deming and Haley Garner of Durango, Colo., appear so natural and organic that some viewers don't recognize them as human creations, Bilodeau said.
"Some people think they were made by animals," he reports, noting that the works, which include corns stalks from the maze fields, have faded from bright green to a muted gray-brown.
Garner describes her work, "Entwined," as "a marriage of nature and sculpture, using materials harvested from the land."
Martinez expresses ecological concern with "Giant Pumpkin," noting in her artist's statement: "As changes are brought about in modern agriculture, to meet the demand by our ever-growing population for food, this piece represents the explosive growth in the use of fertilizers, mechanization and genetically modified materials.
Carleen Cirillo of Denver, Colo., created six fairy sculptures that incorporate organic materials and found objects, making it challenging to accept her invitation to "spot them all. The maze is a place of imagination and magic and fun; the perfect place for elves and fairies to hide," Cirillo said in her artist's statement.
Anna Lyles said she has enjoyed watching students express their creativity in imaginative ways.
"It's the reason they're in college, to learn to bring their visions to fruition," Lyles said.
"A Mere Stretch" by Todd Hall of Dayton, Colo., uses colorful translucent plastic wraps "on six posts cemented into the earth, as if it has sprouted and is reaching for the sky, creating fields of color that correspond with their surroundings," Hall said,
With "Endos Exos," Deborah Hughes of Las Cruces has created a thought-provoking sculpture capped with a cloud.
"Water is one of our most valuable commodities. This sculpture is a quirky way of representing the movement of water, from the place where it has rained to the place where it is needed," Hughes states.
The Mesilla Valley Maze is closing for the year, so today's your last chance to enjoy the artistic creations, along with the last day of the maze and special closing events, the New Mexico Pecan Festival and Junior Ranch Rodeo with wooden livestock, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at Lyle Family Farm, 3855 W. Picacho Ave. Admission is $10.50, $8.50 for kids under 12 and free for ages 2 and under, with a $2 discount for military. For information, visit mesillavalleymaze.com or call 575-526-1919.

District 150 teachers union approves contract extension
By Denise Molina
Former union president Bob Darling says it was important for the membership to vote on an extension more than a year before the current deal expires:
"There are times where the contract will supersede any laws that are changed until the contract expires. So we're hoping to get a contract settled before lawmakers make any decisions before May 30th. And some of the provision in the contract will be hopefully grandfathered in."
Darling says the two-year extension also includes a reduction in pay increases that teachers get when they put in for retirement. The deal now heads to the District 150 School Board for approval.

2 killed in shooting on Ky. college parking lot
HAZARD, Ky. (AP) — Police say a domestic dispute was the cause of a shooting on a Kentucky college campus that killed two people and wounded a third.
A man, a woman and a teenage girl were shot Tuesday night in a parking lot at Hazard Community and Technical College. The adults were killed and the juvenile was taken to a hospital. The extent of her injuries wasn't clear.
Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen told WYMT-TV the shooting resulted from a dispute between the woman and the alleged shooter. He did not say how they were related.
Allen said 21-year-old Dalton Stidham was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Allen identified the victims as 20-year-old Caitlin Cornett and 53-year-old Jackie Cornett. The teenager's name was not released.

A local author just recently hit the New York Times Best-Seller List.
The book "The Flip Side," released about two weeks ago, is already making quite a name for itself.
Author Flip Flippen travels the world and teaches others how to reach their full potential.
According to "The Flip Side" reaching one's full potential begins with ridding yourself of behaviors that are holding you back.
Flippen says identifying those vices can mean all the difference.
"When you find the one that impacts you the most then you go through a process of building a plan, and accountability to really break through that constraint," said Flippen. "Then your performance will increase dramatically."
Flip Flippen will be available at the Barnes and Noble in College Station for a book signing on Thursday from 6-8 p.m.

Closing public schools to reopen new ones destroys communities and does nothing to better educate children, education historian and New York University professor Diane Ravitch told the City Club of Chicago Monday.
And charters are no silver bullet, she said to an audience that included Gov. Pat Quinn, UNO Charter head Juan Rangel and CTU president Karen Lewis.
"You can't fix the schools by closing them," she said. "What's so destabilizing is the idea you can keep closings schools and opening schools, closing schools and reopening schools."
Chicago Public Schools must publicize its list of proposed schools to close by Dec. 1, rumored to number around 100. CPS officials have conceded that they want to "restructure" the district, and "right-size'' its buildings, which hold 200,000 more seats than kids. Local charter networks plan to expand their number of campuses, too.

Interfaith Works will award local company and long-time supporter Marriott International and The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation with the Legacy of Leadership Award at the 16th annual Companies Caring Breakfast.
The breakfast, Interfaith Works' longest-running event, will take place from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Friday at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. About 300 people — including public officials, corporate leaders and foundation representatives — are expected to celebrate the Interfaith Works' goal to help those in need.
Interfaith Works is a nonprofit that aims to lead Montgomery County's faith communities to help the county's disadvantaged and homeless.
Marriott is receiving the award for decades of support by the Marriott family in the community.
"Marriott International and the foundation have a worldwide effort to support diversity and inclusion for those who are most vulnerable," Special Events Coordinator Kristina Devine said. "It really lines up very well because for us, that is always our main focus."
The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, established in 1965, has supported Interfaith Works with grants since 2006, and Marriott International has assisted the county and Interfaith Works for more than 15 years through donations, volunteering and the Spirit to Serve Our Communities program.
Also honored Friday will be Ray Mountain, the Interfaith Works volunteer of the year. Mountain was an integral force in connecting the organization with necessary technology, including computers.
"He's always been around, he knows the history of our 40 years very well and has done countless work to make sure all of our offices have the support they need to move forward," Devine said.
The event will also feature emcee Steve Hull, editor and publisher of Bethesda Magazine, and David Stevens, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, as keynote speaker.
The Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center is at 5701 Marinelli Road in Bethesda. Tickets are $125 for individuals and $1,000 for a table of nine. Register at www.iworks.org/companies-caring-breakfast-2013 or contact development director Nina Golding at 301-315-1092.

Robert Roberts, 57, briefly served as a maintenance at Moreau Town Park until it was discovered that he was a registered sex offender.
Photo: WNYT
MOREAU - In a place intended for fun and games, there was an unsettling aura spreading through the Moreau Town Park Wednesday night. It was the kind of creepy feeling parents get when they find out someone potentially dangerous may have been around their children.
It's only been an issue at the Moreau Town Park for the last two or three weeks. Kids didn't know about it, parents had no idea and town officials didn't find out until this week that the man they hired for maintenance work in the park, 57-year-old Robert Roberts, is a convicted Level 2 sex offender.
"I'm glad they found out," said Joe Schrammel, watching is son play a Little League game in the park Wednesday night. "You just can't have that around these kids with the playground right here."
If town officials had checked the state's Sex Offender Registry they would have found Roberts and realized he served more than four years in state prison for the repeated violent sexual assaults against an 11-year-old girl.
Part of the problem though was that Roberts apparently lied on his job application, leading town officials to believe he had a clean criminal record.
"It's an unfortunate thing, but it's been corrected," said Town Supervisor Preston Jenkins. "'We made a mistake. Fortunately nothing bad happened. We did everything we could. We'll have to do more in the future."
The concern in the community extends beyond the town recreation department. Directly adjacent to the town park happens to be Moreau Elementary School.
Jenkins says Roberts worked just a few part-time shifts, always with a department supervisor nearby and always during the day when few people were in the park. He says there's no indication Roberts had any improper contact with children during his short tenure with the town.
Jenkins also says the matter will be discussed at next Tuesday's town board meeting and they will review their policies related to employee background checks.

Friday, we celebrate our nation's 238th birthday — and what a 238 years it has been.
I studied communications, but also took as many history electives as I could in college for love of the subject.
One of my favorite classes was History of American Sports. Yes, I made an A in the class. And no, the class wasn't all about baseball, football and basketball; but there was a healthy dose of those sports, too.
Long before Babe Ruth hit his first home run for the Boston Red Sox, or his last home run for the Boston Braves, or Knute Rockne challenged Notre Dame's football team to win one for the Gipper, sports dominated America's landscape.
Many of those sports — such as hunting and horseback riding — were used in everyday life. We Americans have always wanted to test our skills against the best to see how we measure up.
Before Abraham Lincoln became our nation's 16th president, he was one of the best wrestlers in the Midwest. Abe wasn't bad at splitting logs, either.
Many of our presidents were college athletes.
Dwight Eisenhower played football and baseball at West Point before having his athletic career cut short trying to tackle Jim Thorpe. Gerald Ford was a star center at Michigan. George H.W. Bush was captain of the Yale baseball team. John Kennedy was a swimmer at Harvard. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan played small college football as well. And Reagan, who played the Gipper in the 1940 biopic "Knute Rockne, All American," also was a sportscaster before moving to acting and then politics.
Our sports heroes and our military heroes often are the same people. The Baseball Hall of Fame is filled with men who sacrificed years of their careers to defend the United States during World War II.
Boston Red Sox left fielder Ted Williams was a fighter pilot in World War II and the Korean Conflict. Yogi Berra, the great New York Yankee catcher, worked on a rocket launching boat during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Cleveland Indian pitching great Bob Feller served as a gunner's captain on the Battleship Alabama.
Dallas Cowboys Coach Tom Landry, an Army Air Corps pilot, flew 30 missions over Europe in a B-17. Chad Hennings, a Cowboys defensive lineman in the 1990s, is an Air Force Academy graduate who flew fighter jets before retiring from the military. Rocky Bleier almost lost his life in Vietnam, but came back to start at halfback on the great Pittsburgh Steeler teams of the 1970s.
Roger Staubach, who won the 1963 Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback at the Naval Academy, led the Dallas Cowboys to their first two Super Bowl wins.
David Robinson was 6-foot-8 when he entered the Naval Academy — 7-foot-1 when he graduated — and was the top pick in the 1987 National Basketball Association draft. He led the Spurs to two NBA championships.
Yes, many other brave men and women have entertained us on the athletic fields and served on the battlefield. Some, such as former Arizona Cardinal defensive back Pat Tillman, gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
This weekend, as you celebrate all that is America, take time to remember the people behind the games who gave of themselves for our freedom.

Paul Buckle leaves Grimsby Town rivals Luton 'by mutual consent'
Posted: February 19, 2013|
PAUL Buckle has left Conference play-off chasers Luton Town by mutual consent.
The Hatters boss exited the club this afternoon ahead of tonight's Blue Square Bet Premier clash at Macclesfield Town.
A statement on Luton's website said: "It is with much regret we announce - by mutual consent and as a result of genuine personal circumstances unrelated to his tenure as manager of Luton Town Football Club – Paul Buckle has, with immediate effect, parted company with the football club.
"The reasons for Paul's departure are fully understood by the board, who sincerely regret that he is leaving.

"We are fully aware that achieving managerial stability will create the conditions necessary for success on the football pitch.
"We are grateful to Paul for what he has brought to the club and believe that he has built the foundations necessary for Luton Town to achieve the board's desire of returning to the Football League as soon as possible."

Batata Vada
Is it raining outside? Then you got to make this dish to get the sunshine within you :) no kidding :) If you know about Aloo Bonda, then you should feel comfortable with Batata Vada, the difference though is that, the latter uses garlic as one of the main ingredients.Technically, I feel it is more a Bonda than Vada :) Batata (Potato)Vada (fritters)is a Maharashtrian delight. I associate this to something like Falafel. Just as how Falafel forms a part, but yet good enough as stand alone, of Pita bread, so is Batata Vada.
It is eaten enclosed within what it is called as "Pav" which is nothing but bun, yet the Vada by itself is delicious enough to be eaten all by itself.Suppose guests come all of a sudden or at v short notice, then this is one dish, I rely on to be a hit without any effort. This is much better than rushing those 10 minutes to your nearby shops to get something. There is hardly any work involved, most of it done by the burner :)
- 2 potatoes,boiled
- 3-4 garlic cloves,minced
- 1-2 green chillies (or as per taste)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
- few sprigs of curry leaves and cilantro
- salt to taste
- For the batter
- About1-1/2 cups of gram flour
- pinch of Baking Soda
- little salt to taste ( take care since the filling has some salt too)
- 1/4 tsp of chilli powder (as per taste)

A good Indian cook friend used to make these years ago. Have been hankering for more a long time! I put no salt in the potato mixture because my MIL is on a very restricted sodium diet. I did put a little in the batter (the chili powder has 35 mg sodium per quarter tsp). Ate them with bottled coriander chutney from the Indian grocery store. Whoa! Was wonderful tastebud walk down memory lane! Thank you so very much!

Team Wolf Evens Fall Series, 4-3
RALEIGH, N.C. - Team Wolf scored four unearned runs in the top of the second inning Saturday, and four Team Wolf pitchers made the lead stand as Team Wolf evened NC State's fall world series at a game apiece.
Junior lefthander Nate King picked up the win, allowing three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out three. Nick Rive, Rob Chamra and Felix Roque retired the final seven Team Pack batters to nail down the victory. Roque worked a perfect seventh inning for the save.
Team Pack jumped to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Pratt Maynard drew a one-out walk and took second on a wild pitch. Drew Poulk hit a sharp grounder past third base and down the line into the left-field corner. Maynard scored, but left fielder Terran Senay gunned down Poulk at second base for the second out of the inning, defusing the rally.
Harold Riggins led off the top of the second for Team Wolf and reached on an error. Senay singled to put runners on first and second, and Riggins went to third when Sasser's pickoff attempt hit the runner and caromed into right-center field. John Gianis tied the score at 1-1 with a sacrifice fly to left. Chris Schaeffer singled to left, and Chris Diaz reached on an error, loading the bases for Dallas Poulk, who drove a three-run double to right-center, giving Team Wolfpack a 4-1 lead.
Junior lefthander Grant Sasser was the unintended victim of Team Pack's defensive problems. Sasser worked three innings and allowed just the four second-inning runs, all of them unearned. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out three.
Team Pack tried to get back in the game in the bottom of the fifth. Matt Bergquist led off and singled to left. Kyle Wilson doubled off the wall in straightaway center field to put runners on second and third with no outs. Maynard's sacrifice fly scored Bergquist and marked the end of the line for King. Drew Poulk greeted Rice with an RBI single to right to make it 4-3, but the Tea, Wolf bullpen slammed the door after that.
The final and deciding game of the series will be Sunday at 1 p.m. Sophomore Mike Russo and freshman Mike Clark, both righthanders, will be the starting pitchers.

Jose Luiz Dalmiglio, Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil
"The model depicts HMS Warspite as she was in 1940," says Jose. "Despite building more than 200 kits, including many sailing ships, U-boats, torpedo boats, flying boats, and others, this was my first attempt at a battleship. I chose her because she was the most-decorated ship in the Royal Navy." Jose assigned L'Arsenal figures to Academy's 1/350 scale ship, used Tamiya paints for basic colors, and applied Vallejo paints for washes and dry-brushing.
Jose, really nice job on the Warspite. I love the look of these British battleships and the Queen Elizabeth calss had really nice lines. I've been wanting to build this particular ship for some time and your model serves as an inspiration. Thnks for sharing, best regards, Brian
What a beautiful job! Thank you for sharing. I was reading about the HMS Warspite on Wikipedia and decided to look at more images. Thanks to Google I found this - muy bonita!

In December 2010, Interior Department Principal Deputy CIO Lawrence Gross and CIO Bernie Mazer made an important decision: They would closely review every IT purchase that exceeded $3,000.
It was a massive undertaking, but Gross said it needed to be done.
"We wanted to get a better perspective on what was being purchased, and we wanted to have a low enough dollar threshold that we could see down to the level of even the shrink-wrapped software," Gross said.
In the first six months, the department realized significant savings, and leaders threw their support behind the initiative, he added.
"Because we were able to show tangible results in the pushback, organizational leadership recognized the value and said, 'We are going to adhere to this,'" Gross said.
Interior's partnership with VMware was one opportunity identified for savings, he added. Nearly every department component used VMware technology, but he and his team discovered they could get it at a better price by coordinating the purchases.
"Our motto was that we wanted to be able to deliver to you what you're receiving today at the same price or better," Gross said.
When the department first began following that model, he reviewed every purchase item that came into the CIO's office.
Communication and leadership buy-in were the secrets to Interior's effective execution of the plan and of other IT initiatives, such as moving financial management services to the cloud and switching to Gmail. Another key ingredient was changing the conversation from one focused on technology to one focused on business, Gross said.
"With the initial IT strategy, we went to the secretary and said, 'We think through this initiative we can save significant amounts of money.' It was quoted at about half a billion dollars at the time," he said. "It's about changing the conversation from strictly a technical conversation to a business-driven conversation that is outcome-based."
The same attitude came into play for Interior's cloud projects. The upfront costs of migrating to the cloud should not keep agencies from making the move, Gross said.
"Any change you do will have upfront costs," he added. "It's about defraying those upfront costs so that it's manageable."
The cost of expediting the migration of Interior's IT operations to the cloud, which was announced in 2013, is estimated to be as much as $10 billion in awarded contracts. The financial management and email systems have already been transferred, and Interior's bureaus are moving various applications intermittently.
Now the department is looking at its internal governance model with an eye toward acting as an oversight body and making sure those services adhere to certain standards and requirements, Gross said.
"With cloud, it will change a lot of the different dynamics of the organization," he said. "As those dynamics change so does who needs to be at the table."

I was lucky enough to score a pre-published copy of Shannon Hale's newest Bayern book at the Texas Library Association annual conference this year. I really loved The Goose Girl and enjoyed the sequel, Enna Burning, but I hadn't gotten around to reading River Secrets yet (which is too bad, because Razo is one of my favorite characters). I knew Forest Born would be fun, and I wasn't disappointed.
Forest Born focuses upon Rinna, Razo's younger sister. For many years, Rin has felt like something is wrong with her. She senses some power within her that simultaneously thrills her and repulses her. When she lets her defenses down and uses this power, she is ashamed of herself and vows to never let it happen again. In order to keep this promise, Rin refuses to show her own self to the world and instead mimicks those around her that she finds more admirable than herself. She does it so well that no one in her large and loving family really knows who Rin is on the inside; they call her Ma's shadow. Unsurprisingly, Rin feels trapped at home, and when her brother Razo returns for a visit, she leaves with him to go to the city. She meets up with the "Fire Sisters," - Isi, Enna, and Dasha - and adventure ensues. The main thrust of the book concerns Rin learning who she is and how to be comfortable in her own skin. It's a worthwhile lesson that many adults never learn, and it will resonate with young readers.
The story, which involves Rin setting out with her new companions to prevent a war and face an evil foe, was fun but predictable, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is Hale's writing that really elevates the book and makes it something special. As I read the first chapter, I was conscious of her skill as a writer. Take this excerpt:
"She listened harder, trembling with a desire to hear. A space inside her opened. Not a sound, not a smell, not even a feeling. If it had been a color, it might have been green. If it had touched her ears, it might have sounded rhythmic, like the creak of a rocking chair or the drone of a bee. If it had a scent, it might have been sweet and drowsy, like fresh pine on the fire. The place in her chest that had ached with panic now felt warbley and sweet, drowsy and green."
The first chapter of Forest Born is one of the best first chapters I've read in any book, and it sets a good pace and tone for the rest of the adventure. I was immediately pulled into Rin's mind and view of the world. After I had set the book down, I found myself unable to recall if Hale had written it in first or third person. I had to check to make sure - third person. A good measure of the depth of the main character, I think, is whether the author can fool you into believing a third person narrative is actually written in first person. So, while I was able to predict most of the events, it didn't erode my enjoyment. The villain - a people speaker - was chillingly evil and reminded me a great deal of the villain in Kristin Cashore's Graceling (a good thing).
In contrast to the previous Books of Bayern that I have read, a large focus of the book is not a love story. In fact, the idea of a beau for Rin doesn't crop up until the very end of the book, and Rin rejects it when it's mentioned. It makes sense - she can't consider entering in to such a union until she has become her own person, comfortable with her power and able to embrace it rather than simply mimicking everyone else. I was pleased by Hale's slight departure from her normal routine in this manner. It brought some freshness to the story, and it lets young girls who live in our world know that it's okay to decide not to date someone. Figuring out who you are needs to come first.
I saw Hale speak at the Texas Book Festival last year, and the many readers in attendance (children and adults!) were so enthusiastic about the Books of Bayern, it was hard not to get caught up in their excitement. (Okay, so I was one of the very excited adults.) I wasn't let down by Forest Born, and I don't think young adults will be either. For fans of Bayern, this book is a treat. Many characters from past books make an appearance, and the world in which Bayern exists is further fleshed out. At the same time, I don't think I was at any disadvantage for not reading River Secrets, so readers new to Bayern shouldn't have a problem. This wasn't my favorite book by Hale, or even my second favorite, but she's just such a good writer that even if it were my least favorite, it would be worth a read.
Forest Born is due out on September 15.
