After getting off to their best start in over half a century last season, the Carbon High Dinos are hoping that another good start to the 2012 season is in store for the team.
With the offense in it's second season running the spread offense and a number of young players looking to break out, the Dinos are looking to take more steps forward with a program that was struck in neutral for a decade.
Now with a renewed excitment among the players, coaches and in the community, the Dinos are hopeful the hard work put in the weight room and on the field over the summer will pay off with wins.
The Dinos will take on Grand High in the season opener on Friday at the Carbon High Football field at 7 p.m.
In their last meeting on Sept. 3, 2010, Grand defeated the Dinos 27-7, pulling away for the win with a 15-point fourth quarter.

Google usually remains fairly tight lipped regarding the stats of their various applications. However, the Google VP, Marissa Mayer recently announced that the map service provided by the company now has more than 150 million users in total. That number is more than half of the people in the United States, and easily makes Google Maps one of the most used applications across the globe.
The service has taken users on routes that total more than 12 billion miles per year. The latest build also allows users to use free GPS technology that previously would have required that users pay quite a bit of money for.
When asked about how she felt about Google Maps for the unlocked iPhone 4 platform, she said that the company was looking for ways to roll new updates out to a broader audience, and said that it was something that they were considering and debating currently. This was a hint that the company has an app in the works that would allow users to use the google Maps app for the iPhone in the same way that they would use their current GPS device.
Until iOS 5 makes its debut, I would not hold your breath on the possiblity of the app making tis way to the iPhone 4 unlocked any time soon. Apple has notoriously held Google products back in their app store, mostly because both companies are competing entities, and they appear to be taking their sweet time in reviewing the newest Google updates to their Maps application. With more than 150 million uses, you would think that Apple would be more than willing to roll out the new software, but then again they don't want to grant anything to Google that they are not forced to. It will be interesting to see if these stats updates change the companies opinion of the Google company.

Reviewer: Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 8, 2004
Presenter: V.G. Budach
Presenter's Affiliation: ARO
Type of Session: Scientific
The use of combined modality therapy in locally advanced head and neck cancer, specifically concurrent chemoradiation, is accepted by many clinicians as a superior regimen to standard radiation therapy alone. Further gains in locoregional control have been acheived with the use of altered fractionation radiation therapy, ranging from hyperfractionated regimens of twice-daily treatment to accelerated regimens delivered over shorter time periods, and various combinations thereof. One of the standard regimens favored in Germany for locally advanced cancers of the head and neck is radiation dose escalation through hyperfractionated regimens, or HART. This trial was designed to evaluate if standard dose, hyperfractionated RT with concurrent chemotherapy (C-HART) was superior to dose-escalated, hyperfractionated RT alone. The overall treatment package time, which is a well-established prognostic factor, was maintained at 6 weeks for both arms.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This large study demonstrates that the use of chemotherapy concurrently with hyperfractionated RT, when delivered within an acceptable "treatment package time", is superior to dose-escalated, hyperfractionated RT delivered over the same time period but without chemotherapy. Furthermore, the relatively comparable tolerablity and side effect profiles of the two regimens show that concurrent chemoradiation is indeed feasible. Almost all of the clinical endpoints of interest, namely progression-free and overall survivals, were statistically significantly improved. However, the non-significant impact of treatment on the rate of distant metastases highlights the unfortunate reality that better systemic therapy is desperately needed, especially as locoregional control rates improve and alter the natural history of this disease to one with increasing distant spread. The continually growing body of research on targetted agents may help offer some of this badly needed systemic control. In addition, a future ARO trial is presently accruing patients to evaluate cisplatin-based chemotherapy against the 5-FU/MMC winning arm from this study.

So why, you're wondering, would I post a recipe for almond milk when you can just pick a carton off the shelf at any supermarket.
Well, here's why. Making almond milk at home is way, way easier than making a trip to the supermarket. Besides, things made from scratch in your kitchen just taste infinitely more delicious and — big bonus– they're free of all those additives and preservatives that don't make much sense, on the carton or in your tummy.
Almond milk is a great substitute for dairy milk in sweets, and if you can't eat soy for whatever reason, it is a great substitute for soymilk in beverages, including coffee and tea. It's perfect even as a drink on its own. And for Indian sweets almond milk is a better-than-perfect substitute for milk because it has no cholesterol, is lower in calories, and adds that deliciously nutty flavor that dovetails beautifully with those warm Indian spices like cardamom and nutmeg.
Enjoy, all!
Almond Milk
1 cup almonds, whole, and water for soaking.
6 cups pure, filtered water
1 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
Soak the almonds overnight or– in a hurry– zap them in the microwave for around 4 minutes.
Place the almonds, filtered water, and other ingredients in a powerful blender and process until the almonds have broken down completely.
You can filter the almond milk or leave it alone. I like the thickness and nuttiness that the almond sludge gives the milk and it's just amazing in sweets.
I couldn't make a holiday recipe to share with you pre-Thanksgiving because of ongoing issues with Freddie– he will be 18 in December and his health has not been, let's just say, rosy. But we're grateful and happy to have him around for another Thanksgiving.
To make up for the absence of a new recipe, I wanted to share with you recipe ideas from Thanksgivings past. I've created a page for "Thanksgiving Recipes" that you'll find right under the Holy Cow! header, listing some great food ideas. And I'll be sure to share with you my Thanksgiving meal after.
Have a joyous and wonderful Thanksgiving, all. And try and make it a nice day for the turkeys too– by not eating them.

In the overlap of the medical / science / technology community they speak of the "singularity" – when exponentially accelerating technological progress will lead to the creation of superintelligence; and that a post-singularity world would be unpredictable to humans due to an inability of human beings to imagine the intentions or capabilities of superintelligent entities. That's a lot to wrap your head around, but the idea of the singularity, when everything comes together and the world is no longer predictable, has parallels for the marketing industry. I believe a cultural singularity has occurred and that is what is causing the tumult within brands and the agencies they work with. This cultural singularity has taken shape over the last 25 years across all aspects of culture with the result being that, despite an abundance of available information, marketers are finding it more difficult than ever to see cultural shifts before they occur. In fact, this problem is a result of the abundance of information available.
How did this happen? How did it become difficult to see that changing the logo on the orange juice carton was a bad idea? Why did it become so challenging to create a primetime network schedule?
—> The occurrence of a Cultural Singularity – a world of accelerating recombinance that is unpredictable – is the result (primarily) of the confluence of Music, Urban Culture and Technology.
Here's my rationale for that statement:
Music / Urban Culture / Technology
Television has always been bound by its conventions. The legal drama (from Perry Mason to L.A. Law to Law and Order); The police procedural (from Dragnet to Hill Street Blues to The Wire); The inside joke sitcom (from It's Garry Shandling's Show to Seinfeld to 30 Rock); The medical drama (from Emergency to Quincy to ER). Movies are even worse. How afraid of trying something new do you have to be to greenlight the production of a film version of Car 54, Where Are You? Or to make sequels like Weekend at Bernie's II? The new, the innovative, is not what Hollywood is about.
Popular music, more so than other forms of entertainment, provides the clearest picture of the issues we're dealing with. For 30+ years (mid-50s to early-90s) it was pretty easy (certainly from an historical perspective) to see what was going on. A very crude and simplified analysis might look like this: The rock & roll of Chuck Berry and Elvis was an answer to Sinatra and Perry Como. When that led to the bombast of Led Zeppelin and Queen the reply was the stripped down, amateurish sound of Punk Rock. The pendulum then swung to the high production values of disco and R&B. When the British New Wave crested, American Hair Metal entered the scene. As production values again soared in the form of manufactured boy bands like New Kids on the Block, grunge was the natural response. The raw sound of Seattle was then supplanted by a more electronic-based sound that emerged, along with the Internet.
Now things get complicated. (And yes, I realize I haven't touched on hip hop / rap, more on that in a moment). By the mid-90s it became harder to see the major swings. Alternative distribution channels – from the Internet to underground mix tapes – gave every sound a platform. It became easier for a wider variety of sounds to heard – even as radio stations were becoming more narrow in their playlists thanks to deregulation and the Clear Channel near monopoly of Top 40 stations across the country. But by the mid-90s, the digital movement, led by artists like The Avalanches and Beck, mixed genres in ways and to levels that had rarely been seen before.
Yes, it's popular music that over the last 25+ years has defined the shifts in language, fashion and popular entertainment in America. And no popular music has had more of an impact, directly and indirectly, than hip hop / rap. Dive a little deeper and we can identify a small period in time where it all kicked off.
—> Music, urban culture and technology collided in the 90s to create a paradigm shift in the way pop culture was created and consumed.
If the Cultural Singularity could be identified with a relatively narrow point in time it would be 1986. Yes, hip hop existed, and was attaining broader acceptance, but 1986 was the breakthrough. It was the Project Genesis moment. What happened that year? DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince release the single, "Girls Ain't Nothin But Trouble." This 'clean rap' hit launches the career of Will Smith who over the next two plus decades would go on to become one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood. Run-D.M.C. release the cross-over hit "Walk this Way" with Aerosmith, making rap acceptable, and accessible, to white kids everywhere. In the words of Public Enemy, "Run-D.M.C. first said a DJ could be a band". But wait, there's more! 1986 also sees the formation of N.W.A., who would go on to fuse rap with American gangster culture and American sports culture. They're the reason why every NBA game today looks like a tattoo convention. More on the members of N.W.A. and their longterm role in the cultural singularity later.
But perhaps, incredibly, none of these things were the most important developments in hip hop, in 1986! That's right, the launching of Will Smith's career, the mainstreaming of rap thanks to Run-D.M.C. and the emergence of Gangsta rap all take a back seat, when discussing the cultural singularity, to another group that emerged that year. In November the Beastie Boys release License to Ill, possibly the most culturally important album of the last 25 years. The Beasties shattered everything we knew about cultural roles. White kids rapping? Raps featuring Black Sabbath samples? Raps featuring lines about Abe Vigoda? The possiblity, in 1986, that that could occur was unthinkable*, and would have been consigned to the dustbin of history except for one thing: They were also really, really good. They took bits of culture so diverse, and mixed them so skillfully that the notion of separate cultural niches was blown up. Now, anything was possible. Not only musically, but from a listener perspective as well. Now anyone could listen to rap, and rappers could rap about, and sample, anything. It's thanks to the Beastie Boys that songs like Frontier Psychiatrist by the aforementioned The Avalanches could exist. The Beasties pulled everything together and nothing was off limits. Two decades later that degree of diversity of samples has become a staple through artists like Girl Talk and DJ Earworm.
This is a microcosm of why you don't see those big pop culture shifts anymore. What's the last truly new pop music genre? Not a sub-sub-genre like Scremo or Post-dubstep or one of the 40+ derived styles of Hip Hop, but an actual new style? Instead we get Lady Gaga, a 21st century Madonna. Even a "truly unique" artist like Janelle Monae creates her sound by artfully mixing the sounds of several styles and artists. But neither of these represent a new "scene" like we saw emerge from places like Austin, Athens or Seattle. Those days are gone. And I'm just using music as the metaphor here, this is true however we want to define culture – fashion, food, sports…
—> Over the course of a few months in 1986, several new voices would emerge from hip hop, the last truly new musical genre, and go on to dominate popular culture for the next 30 years, forever breaking the traditional cultural hegemony of the white male.
Exotic Blitz Schemes
Grant McCracken often refers to brands getting hit on the blind side when they are unable to see a cultural shift coming. This football metaphor refers to the situation where a right-handed quarterback is hit by a defensive player, usually an outside linebacker or defensive end, from his left, or blind side. This is often a particularly devastating play that results in a loss of yardage at best, a fumble or injury to the quarterback at worst. Grant argues that these blind side hits are coming more often and that it's critical for brands to have 'better field vision' to extend the football metaphor.
I'd argue that it's not just the blind side hits anymore. If it was, you'd just go out and get the best left tackle available to protect the quarterback's blind side. And companies are doing just that, hiring
really smart people who have a solid grasp of what's happening. But our cultural universe is even more complex. It's not just the fearsome outside linebacker we have to worry about. Now culture is throwing exotic blitz schemes at us just like the ones created by the Pittsburgh Steelers brilliant defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. Let's use Nike as an example:
Back in the early/mid-80s Nike got blind-sided by Reebok, who saw the aerobics phenomenon coming and rode that wave. Rode it hard. That wave nearly crushed Nike. But that was clearly a blind side hit. Where the heck did aerobics come from (or Reebok for that matter)? But Nike regrouped, and flying the "Just Do It" banner Nike became the brand for serious athletes who wanted the type of equipment and apparel that would make them warriors. Nike absolutely owned that territory. From there they went about protecting their blind sides. They got into soccer, women's activities, skateboarding, etc. Their 'pass protection' was strong, they had kept their running backs in the backfield to pick up the blind side blitz. But what happened? Under Armour didn't come from the outside, they came right up the middle! They blitzed Nike with a bull rush, smashing through their interior line to claim the very ground that Nike had become synonymous with. In an alternate universe this would be a Nike ad:
Then, Skechers (Skechers!) introduced Shape Ups, a shoe technology. That wasn't a defensive end blind side hit, that was a strong safety blitz. And here comes Vibram, taking Nike's old Rift shoe to the next level. That's a cornerback blitz! Reebok and adidas haven't been able to sack Nike, but these upstarts, with their exotic blitz schemes, have.
—> It's these exotic blitz schemes, not just blind side hits, that brands now must deal with every day in the form of the cultural singularity.
Legitimate Career Paths: Anti-Christs and Pornstars
Before radical Islamic terrorists, the greatest threat to American society was… a guy who would go on to present at the 2007 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Yes, the actor Ice Cube was originally in N.W.A. These guys were the scourge of civility, the horsemen of the Apocalypse. Now they sell Dr. Pepper. Or maybe it was Eminem, surely he was going to bring America to its collective knees, or deliver us to Hell in a handbasket. Or something. Now he sells Chryslers and Lipton ice tea. This isn't about selling out, it's about the co-opting of the outliers to the mainstream. And yes, to some degree we saw this with Elvis too.
But here's what we haven't seen in the past: Paris Hilton, Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey and Joanna Angel. All, to varying degrees, pornstars. Shunned from civil society, these humiliated women… what? Oh, actually these women have all built massively successful careers off the backs of, well actually off of lying on their backs. This isn't just the Jenny McCarthy, Playboy playmate turned TV star move either. Yes, Pam Anderson helped pave the way with her (cough) "leaked video" [NSFW] (cough), but these women owned their decisions on another level and rather than being punished or shunned, they turned it into a career. Not a novelty, but a legitimate career. The diversity of their paths, even within the porn world, are astounding: Hilton through a 'sex tape'; Jameson through hardcore; Grey by using porn as a launch pad to mainstream; and perhaps most interestingly, there is Joanna Angel. By now, just being a traditional porn star is so commonplace that sub-genres have sprouted and Angel leads the Alt Porn movement. Because regular porn wasn't 'edgy' enough, niche styles have emerged. But even that isn't a cultural outlier anymore. That's right, sub-genres of porn are now mainstream enough to produce stars like Angel who are featured on CNBC and Spin. Lucy and Ricky had to have separate beds, but Paris Hilton gets her own TV show. How the hell are network programmers supposed to understand what viewers want to see?
But surely weird, deviant sexual kinks are still taboo. There are things you still can't share, things that aren't culturally acceptable. For instance, if you were titillated by the sight of fully dressed people soaked in water, well that would be too strange to share, right? Apparently not, as there are more than 4,000 Wetlook videos on YouTube, many with thousands upon thousands of views.
My point here is not that American society has become too permissive, but that when everything is acceptable, it's very difficult to see where that blind side hit is coming from because there is no blind side anymore.
—> When pornstars and profane rappers are not just accepted but embraced by the mainstream, in fact become the mainstream, brands can no longer identify safe ground to establish their base.
The Paradox
This brings us to the truly bewildering paradox of the cultural singularity. Forty years ago culture streamed through a handful of gatekeepers. If you were on the outside you started a movement or new sound because you were not represented in the mainstream. In fact you weren't represented anywhere. You were alone, no one "spoke to you," so you did it on your own. I'm sure it was hard to see punk rock coming at the time, but in retrospect you can see it coming. Pendulum swings from the 70s are pretty easy to recognize now. But then the knowable cultural universe was finite. There were three broadcast networks, maybe five movies you needed to see, two or three magazines and one newspaper and you thought you pretty much had a handle on everything.
This limited cultural worldview would allow you to at least know what you didn't know (all the kinky, weird or creepy stuff) and you could sleep soundly in the knowledge that that stuff was never going to rear its ugly head in polite company or challenge your brand. It took a long time for things to break through, you had time to see it coming (if you wanted to). An enterprising young man or women could exploit this by finding these new sounds or movements and take a year to cultivate them without fear that someone else would 'break it' into the mainstream. Now we have infinite choices and anyone can see every nascent movement at its earliest stages. As a result, you need 360 degree vision, not just the ability to see the blind side. Everything is mashed together. Where will the next rebellion come from? There's no way of knowing because it's nearly impossible to rebel against The Man anymore. When you can have your own blog, YouTube channel and Twitter stream, how exactly are you "Fighting the Power"? You have the power. Everyone has the power.
Yes, the Internet has made all this possible, but the Internet is merely a tool. It has given us greater vision, but that vision is far outpaced by the volume of content and speed of change it has brought with it. The ability to track new movements sounds great, until you realize there are thousands of movements out there and you can't possibly track them all. As brand marketers, it seems the more we know, the less we understand.
How do we combat this paradox? How do engage with all the potentialities and see where the blitz is coming from now? Maybe we need to change the metaphor? Maybe football and "the blind side" made sense in the 20th century but now we need to think about it in a different way. Perhaps World of Warcraft or some other MMORPG is a better way of looking at it. A game where things change all the time, where co-operative play is required and the ability to adapt, change and move quickly is essential.
For more, check out two great books by Grant McCracken: Chief Culture Officer and Flock and Flow, and definitely give a read to Faris Yakob for more on recombinance. Bud Caddell has a great presentation on Complex Systems as well.
*Now think about this post. In 1986 it's quite unlikely that a single magazine article would have included references to Star Trek, Abe Vigoda, Ice Cube, Sasha Grey, Perry Mason, Dr. Pepper, Fetish Videos, Nike, Car 54 Where Are You?, Tropicana orange juice and FCC deregulation. That's what happens when you have the Cultural Singularity.

Comments about CamelBak Alpine Explorer Hydration Pack:
Was looking for a pack to take on a day hike for a family of 4. Roomy enough to carry lunch for everyone. Side pockets provide quick access to the kid's water bottles, while the water reservoir held enough for me and my spouse. My previous pack did not have the waist or chest straps, and I really like these features - pack didn't seem as heavy. Very satisfied.

Little Dipper Cranberry Orange Dip
Day 362.
Raise your hand if you got a Little Dipper for the Holidays.
The Little Dipper is so much fun----here are all of the dips and things I've made this year: Little Dipper recipes. Except the chicken and brown rice casserole. I have no idea how that showed up in there. Weird.
Jen T. sent me this recipe, and the kids and I had it for lunch the other day. When it's cooked, it looks like a big pile of fluffy snow.
The Ingredients.
--8 oz cream cheese
--2/3 cup shredded swiss cheese
--2 T apple juice
--1/2 tsp orange zest
--1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
The Directions.
Plug in your Little Dipper to get it started warming up. Shove the block of cream cheese down into it. You may need to squish it in with a spoon. I promise it will fit. Shred the swiss, and add it. Grate the orange and add the zest. Add the apple juice. Cover and let it cook for 45 minutes to an hour. When the cream and swiss cheese have fully melted, stir in the dried cranberries.
Serve with your favorite crackers or apple slices. We're really liking the new nut and rice crackers Blue Diamond puts out.
The Verdict.
Delicious. The original recipe called for 1 tsp of orange zest, but we're not big fans of orange zest, so I only added 1/2 tsp. It was still plenty zesty for us, and I probably could have omitted it all together for us. But then I would have needed to change the name.
The swiss and cream cheese melted together beautifully and were a delicious combination.
Thank you, Jen!

Not only did I get a little dipper for Christmas, but I got the matching 6 qt. crock pot too! LOL Mine came in red, to match my red 4qt. crock pot, red toaster, red tea kettle, red microwave and red under counter cd/radio. I am not as fond of the lid/depth of it as my old one that the twins broke, but I think they just make them that way now. Matter fact when I checked into replacing my old one, found out it had been recalled! Guess we got lucky.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the good work.
Blessings, Beth Ann

I have to agree on the Blue Diamond almond thins! They are SOOOOO YUMMMMMYYY!!! I can't find them at the grocery stores by us anymore and that stinks! Costco had them about two years ago and I haven't seen them since. The note on the orange cracks me up! Thanks for all the recipe's this year your an inspiration for all crockpoter's everywhere!

Oh I forgot something...where can you find a Little Dipper for sale by itself? The only one's I see are with a big one and I already have the 6 qt. one. Do you possibly know?

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who labels food in the house. However, I use a post-it. A marker may just work better because post-its fall off and then I get upset when said food is gone. A marker--that may just be the ticket! : )

I'm a 22 year old recent college graduate and thanks to you, one of my christmas presents this year was my very own shiny, red crockpot! I can't wait to try out some of your recipes on it! Thanks for doing this blog :)

I solved the "mystery" of the chicken and brown rice post showing up on the little dipper search- you referenced your link on using it to heat up a can of soup.
I miss blue diamond-I have yet to see any of their products in the South.

Oh yum! I got TWO little dippers for Christmas and am trying to decide what to make for a new year's day shindig we're hosting. Definitely will be perusing your recipes. :)

I just wanted to tell you that I made your Crock Pot Cheese Cake for Christmas. Everyone said it was the BEST cheese cake they had ever had. They kept asking, "You made this in a crock pot? How do you make cheese cake in a crock pot?" Thanks for making this cheese cake the hit of the party!!
Happy New Year!!

I found a little dipper at Goodwill and never would have thought about buying it before I read this blog. My friend has sent me links to your blog before, but I didn't start reading it until just before Thanksgiving. I'm kind of glad i wasn't keeping up because now I have a lot of treasure to discover. Now that your year is almost over, I hope you'll give us some food for thought periodically. Thanks for the great ideas. Especially the yogurt--that's a lifesaver!
- December 27, 2008 at 5:55 PM
So...would you serve this as an appetizer?
- December 27, 2008 at 6:32 PM
- ladybeams said...
This sounds so wonderful I may just have to go buy a little dipper! I love your blog so much, I hate to see the end of the year come. I refer to you so often, as I love my crockpot and you have done so many things you can't find in a slow cooker cook book. LOL. I'm so glad you'll leave this site up after you've fulfilled your resolution.
I would like to give back a little, so please visit my "Merry Christmas Happy My Birthday" page for a few gifts. ldbeams.wordpress.com

Did the mixture of Swiss and Cream Cheese stay mixed together, or did it "break" after being heated for a long period. (Assuming that it had the chance to be around for a long period....)

You can buy the nut thins on Amazon.dom for $34.16 for a case of 12

OMGosh! Does that ever sound good. I'm lovin' your blog and can't wait to check out all the previous recipes. xoxo
- December 28, 2008 at 4:28 AM
Thanks for making me famous, lol!
I'm glad to know we aren't the only ones who write on food. My kids love when I write them notes on bananas and send them to school.
In answer to if it breaks, the answer is no, but it will start to brown around the edges if left for several hours. Really more of a cook and eat asap. I made it as an appetizer for Christmas and everyone loved it.
Glad you liked the dip!

golly I can't believe I forgot to put a Lil' Dipper on my list!!! Well I'll just *have* to buy one ASAP!

NEWPORT – A consumer survey is circulating in Orleans County to find out what draws people to Newport, what shoppers would like to see, and shopping habits. The results will help local businesses evolve, if they choose, to meet demands, and to entice new businesses based on what residents and visitors want.
A similar survey was conducted in 2008, but it is helpful to conduct surveys every few years, explained Bill McMaster, community resource development specialist with UVM (University of Vermont).
Other groups are also doing their own surveys, including NEK99%.
The extensive four page survey was put together by a committee consisting of the UVM Extension Service, Northeast Kingdom Travel and Tourism Association, North Country Chamber of Commerce, a private developer, a real estate company, Newport City Renaissance Corporation, and Lyndon State College Center for Rural Entrepreneurship.

If you've ever enjoyed a leisurely beer in our Gardens, you may have noticed a few clusters of that magical flower that we embrace so ardently: Humulus lupulus—or the Hop. Not only do we jam our beers packed full of this heavenly little plant, but we also deck our Gardens with beautiful vines of Chinook Hops. September is a common harvesting time for Hops, and it just so happens that ours are about as ripe as they come.
Our resident Botanical Wizard, Chili, is picking the cream of the crop from our Gardens today for later use in specialty casks. Whenever you see a cask in the Bistro or on our growler fill schedule with the words "Estate-grown hops" written next to it, you know exactly what you're getting: fresh, organic Chinook Hops sustainably grown right here at Stone. Enjoy the stunning, Eden-like pictures, and raise a glass to the glory of the hop!

- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp in shell
- 3 quarts corn oil
- 3 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 30 minutes
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (not fine)
- 2 cups sliced (1/8 inch thick) fresh jalapeño (about 8 chiles)
- 3 cups cilantro sprigs (from 2 bunches)
- 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, or to taste
- Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer
Cut shell along back of each shrimp with small kitchen shears (do not peel) and devein, then snip off legs.
Heat oil to 400°F in an 8-to10-quart heavy pot.
Toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and let stand 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry.
Meanwhile, pulse egg whites in a blender until watery, then put in a bowl.
Stir together cornstarch, 3 tablespoons pepper, and 2 tablespoons kosher salt in another bowl.
Toss half of shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper in a third bowl; dip in egg white, letting excess drip off, then lightly dredge in cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. (Coating should be as light as possible.) Fry until crisp and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Season, coat, and fry remaining shrimp.
Reduce oil temperature to 375°F.
Fry half of chiles with half of cilantro until cilantro just starts to turn dark green and chiles are wilted (do not brown chiles), about 30 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Cilantro will crisp as it cools.)
Repeat with remaining chiles and cilantro.
Serve shrimp topped with fried chiles and cilantro and sprinkled with sea salt. Serve immediately.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - In Bangor, this marks the last tournament for the legendary Bangor Auditorium.
Later this year it will close and be torn down-- and the brand new Cross Insurance Center will open.
For basketball fans in particular, it makes this tournament week a bit sad. The Auditorium is more than 55 years old. It has a history of leaking roofs, and few of the comforts of modern venues. But this place has history... and that's something that won't quickly be replaced.
The old Auditorium has been a home for rock concerts, political conventions and circuses. But more than anything else, the Auditorium has been a home for high school basketball.
More than half a century of tournaments, generations of players have competed here.And despite all its quirks and problems and lack of creature comforts, some of the stars who have played and coached here over the years say they're going to miss this place.
The Maine principals association, which runs the tournaments, got a tour of the new building today. It will be big and bright, with all comfortable, cushioned seats,and great views of the action. But it will be very different from the place they've played for so long.
We talked with former players and coaches, the director of the auditorium, even veteran sports caster Dale Duff...and they all admit its probably time to replace the old auditorium.
And they say it will be up to the fans and the players to make the new one feel like home.

When temps heat up, chic shorts become an integral part of our warm-weather wardrobes. That's why we're delighted to bring you a curated selection of the very best in today's inaugural Market Watch story,which was partially inspired by the urban ensemble in Theyskens' Theory's S/S 12 collection: the Junko Fipel Jacket ($545) layered over the Byonie Blouse ($495) and paired with printed Pwall Ikabyles Shorts ($375). The structured jacket teamed with pajama-inspired shorts is a cool city-girl look--and offers a fresh way of wearing summer shorts. While casual denim cutoffs or classic cargos are closet staples, we think expanding your collection with new, sophisticated styles is a smart idea this season!

To cut a long story short, we invite you to peruse these fashionable picks, perfectly suited for all manner of summer festivities.

With their tailored silhouette and demure hemline, knee-length Bermuda shorts are an ideal style to wear to the workplace! Elevate them with a sharp blazer and t-strap heels for the office, or swap in a simple silk tank and espadrilles when you want a more dressed-down ensemble.
Our picks:
Gap Boyfriend Roll-up Shorts ($40) in Lavender
American Eagle Patchwork Bermuda Shorts ($30)
Richard Chai Love Floral Biker Shorts ($324) in Coral
Slouchy Pleated

Juicy Couture Drapy Silk Short ($138) in Cobalt
Forever 21 Cuffed Pleated Shorts ($23) in Coral

Feminine shorts trimmed in seductive lace bring a touch of boudoir appeal to your ensemble. As a stylish and unexpected alternative to a dress or skirt, wear them paired with a silk camisole and strappy heels for an evening out.
Our picks:
Club Monaco Milda Silk & Lace Shorts ($150) in Graphite With Black Lace
Callula Lilibelle Stretch-Lace And Jacquard Shorts ($100)
Sports style was in competition as the top trend for S/S 12, with labels like Alexander Wang, Ruffian, and Y-3 featuring mesh fabrics and uniform-like outfits in their collections. Channel the look with athletic-inspired shorts, then temper the sporty vibe with a slightly feminine blouse for a surprising contrast. A tucked-in button-down shirt in a bold hue is another splendid option to balance out the shorts' casual vibe.--Tiffany Tse

gitcvs-migration(7) Manual Page
gitcvs-migration - git for CVS users
git cvsimport *
Git differs from CVS in that every working tree contains a repository with a full copy of the project history, and no repository is inherently more important than any other. However, you can emulate the CVS model by designating a single shared repository which people can synchronize with; this document explains how to do that.
Some basic familiarity with git is required. Having gone through gittutorial(7) and gitglossary(7) should be sufficient.
Developing against a shared repository
Suppose a shared repository is set up in /pub/repo.git on the host foo.com. Then as an individual committer you can clone the shared repository over ssh with:
$ git clone foo.com:/pub/repo.git/ my-project $ cd my-project
and hack away. The equivalent of cvs update is
$ git pull origin
which merges in any work that others might have done since the clone operation. If there are uncommitted changes in your working tree, commit them first before running git pull.
|================================ The pull command knows where to get updates from because of certain configuration variables that were set by the first git clone command; see git config -l and the git-config(1) man

Inside the Clipper File
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 04/19/06, 09:41am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
One of the things I really like about Mark Cuban is that the Mavericks always seems to be on the vanguard of, for the lack of a better term, "sports information." Sure, his referee stats are a bit priggish, but I could spend all day studying features like this on the Mavs site. Thanks to people like Mark Cuban, the world is a better place for basketball junkies.
Here's the Mavs' compilation of scouting reports on the Clippers this season.
A couple of things that jump off the screen:
- Looking at the Clips' bread-and-butter play, the "9 Ice" - a set that Shaun Livingston has become increasingly confident in running - you can see how indomitable a nice 19-foot jump shot is going to make Shaun, not to mention the additional space it'll give Brand to work with in the half court. At times, the Shaun-EB two-man game has looked fantastic and it's going to be the offensive foundation on which this franchise will be built over the next few seasons.
- It's amusing that the feature stipulates that the Clips' LA 1 set "is strictly run in the half court" because, despite perception to the contrary, the Clips are exclusively a half-court team - particularly with Maggette on the bench. This isn't a bad thing when you have one of the best post attacks in the league, but it also underscores the necessity of having a guy like Vlad who can hit from the arc, particularly when you study these sets. Strained groin aside, Vlad needs to show something early in the Denver series, otherwise the Nugs will collapse on the block and we'll be right back to that dreadful New Years stretch when the Clips couldn't run anything because defenders didn't have to attend to the weak side.
- Brand's decision-making is a big component of the offense and the essential variable in the Clips' improvement this season. When you look closely at the Drop Post Up 42 and realize that Brand has slashed his turnover rate despite getting more touches, you can begin to understand why the Clips' offense this season in the half court is so much more fluid. Brand's mastery of his options in the low post along with having a PG like Cassell make for a much more competent offense.
- Mobley-Patterson is a key matchup in the Denver series. Mobley has made his living against smaller defenders, but Patterson is bigger and tougher than a David Wesley or other guys he's been able to exploit - and Greg Buckner is no defensive slouch either. Since he won't be able to post up, Mobley is going to have to fight through screens to be productive. If he's up to the task, the Clips could be unstoppable against Denver. If he can't, then it's going to be touch-and-go, particularly if we allow Denver to collapse on our bigs because our guards can't score.

Chef Kevin Cunningham's Apple Walnut Chicken Salad
1 lb. Chicken Breasts
2 Apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 tsp. Celery Salt
2 tsp. Cajun Spice
3/4 cup Walnuts, finely chopped
3/4 cup Celery, finely diced
1/3 cup Onion, finely diced
1 cup Mayonaisse
2 tsp. Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper as needed
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and pan sear or grill them until just done in the center. Make sure you don't overcook - they should be very juicy. Refrigerate until fully cooled.
2. Once cooled, dice the chicken and place in a large bowl.
3. Add remaining ingredients except for the Mayo.
4. Mix well to make sure all your ingredients are well coated.
5. Add in half of the mayo and mix. You can add more may as needed. If the chicken and apples are juicy you will only need half. Add more mayo as needed until you have reached a good constancy.
6. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. Make sure to mix well before you serve.
Chef Notes:
You can substitute some or all of the white chicken meat with dark if you prefer.
Any kind of fresh local apple will do but I prefer Red Delicious.
This salad is better served the next day as the flavors have some time to blend together.

He is one guy that just needs to be moved up. I understand the "getting feet wet" thing, but he is well above his level of competition there. NYPL is for raw and young talent, and he is neither. I would hope to see him in Frederick or something next season and he could easily be in Delmarva or even Frederick right now.
Shorebirdfan wrote:1B for Delmarva has really been an open position the entire season. For the most part you've seen either Delmonico, Sawyer or Narron filling that spot with none of them TRUE 1B.
Based on Nicky playing there exclusively since his return from the DL it seems they are trying to limit his movement somewhat. If he can't play another spot over the last month it might limit them bringing up a 1B.

One Book Every Day
Written by:BookLetters
As a patron, one of the most wonderful things about libraries is the ability to spend as much time as you'd like choosing books and reading--and who wouldn't love to read all day long? One woman did. After the death of her sister, Nina Sankovitch committed herself to reading and reviewing one book every day for a year, and afterward wrote a book about the effort, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading. In it, Sankovitch tells the story of slowing down and making time for the several hundred pages of reading she tackled each day--and the small sacrifices she made to balance her real life and her reading life. Curling up in a chair with this unusual memoir is the perfect way to celebrate a love of books and the healing power of reading.

I'm sorry to everyone who would have liked to keep up with the threads that were actually current, and have now been buried. I am going to try to get all the stuff that died and LPM in his infinite lack of wisdom decided to revive out of the way, but you have no idea how long and tedious that job is.
If people here could go and bump those threads so that they're back at the top for other people, that would be appreciated.

POTSDAM A former SUNY Canton student from Winthrop has been charged with setting the fire Oct. 25 that destroyed the Potsdam apartment building where she lived with nine other SUNY students.
Brandi Lee Saumier, 21, was arraigned Wednesday on one felony count of second-degree arson and was sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton. Potsdam Acting Village Justice Margaret Garner set bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond at the recommendation of Assistant District Attorney James Monroe. Ms. Saumier, of 1071 Buckton Road, Winthrop, is represented by attorney Peter A. Dumas, Malone.
She said in court that she was majoring in health care management at SUNY Canton but has withdrawn from school since the incident.
Police allege Ms. Saumier set a fire in a bedroom in her first-floor apartment at 28 Pierrepont Ave. knowing that others were in the building at the time. Nine people escaped unharmed.
In a statement to police, Ms. Saumier, who had been undergoing psychiatric evaluation at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg, admitted to starting the fire at 1:30 a.m. with no intention of hurting anyone.
She said she felt mistreated by everyone and everything, according to court documents. She said she had not been sleeping or eating well and woke up on the night of the fire with the urge to get rid of her belongings. I lit a roll of paper towels on fire and threw it in the middle of the room, Ms. Saumier said in a statement to police.
Once the fire began, Ms. Saumier stated, she left the house without saying anything to roommates Mackaly L. Simpson and Adam G. Barnes, and went to McDonalds on Market Street, where she called family members who picked her up and took her to the police station at 4 a.m.
I didnt think about home I didnt even know if I wanted my stuff to burn, Ms. Saumier said in her statement. No one else was in my room when I set the fire. No one else knew I set the fire.
Mr. Barnes told police in a statement that he and Ms. Simpson had smelled something burning, looked through the apartment and when they approached Ms. Saumiers bedroom door, felt heat.
At that time I opened the door and a large, thick cloud of black smoke came out from the bedroom, Mr. Barnes said, adding that he, Ms. Simpson and the fourth roommate, Quinn G. Patraw, exited the apartment. Mr. Barnes said he and Ms. Simpson called 911 and alerted their neighbors.
After Ms. Saumiers arraignment, Mr. Dumas said: Ill be petitioning the court to consider her mental well-being. I plan on turning over every stone to get her the help that she needs.
She is scheduled to return to Potsdam Village Court on Nov. 15.
