The Carbon County Democratic Party Central Committee amended its Constitution and By-Laws in May 2011.
The Amendment, having immediate impact as the party proceeds toward Precinct Caucus meetings on March 13 is one which requires all CCDP officers, Precinct officers, Central Committee members, County Delegates, and State Delegates to be registered Democrats.
Also, the registration must have been in effect a minimum of 60-days before the precinct caucuses (January 13, 2012, for this year), and one who is elected shall maintain registration as Democrat for the duration of that office.
It was recently discovered that an unknown number of members of the Carbon Democratic Party registered to vote when the registration form did not provide for designating one's party affiliation. The voter registration form changed around 1995 and then provided for marking one's party affiliation.
Fortunately, among the 300 or so current elected positions throughout the party, there are only a handful who registered after 1995 and either marked unaffiliated or did not mark any party affiliation.
Persons uncertain about when they registered to vote, are encouraged to visit the County Clerk's office in the courthouse and, if necessary, re-register and mark an affiliation.
At precinct caucus meetings on March 13, Democrats in the county will choose who will represent them as leaders for the party. Also, those elected as County Delegates will meet on March 30 at the Rio Theater in Helper to choose which candidates will appear on the ballot for the primary races in June. Democrats elected as State Delegates vote on candidates for state-wide positions, such as Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and members of the state legislature when they meet at the State Democratic Convention on April 20-21 in Salt Lake City.
Voting in the primary races in June and in the general election in November is a right guaranteed by the 15th and 19th Amendment of the Constitution of this great country. Although one is not required to vote, one cannot be refused his/her right to vote, except as provided in law. However, to meet our needs as a democratic society, government and citizens must work together. Responsible citizenship means voting, obeying the laws, defending the nation, serving on a jury, serving the community, and being informed. Thomas Jefferson observed, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free . . . it expects what never was and never will be."
Participate in your neighborhood precinct caucus; become a candidate for a position in the Party, and support those positions and ideals which you believe are in the best interest of Carbon County, the State of Utah, and the Nation. Be an informed voter; be a participant.

Performing John Cage
Victoria Meagher, Manager, Finance & Administration, MoMA PS1
Saturday, February 15, 2014, 12:00 p.m.
Bauhaus staircase, second floor
In 1952 John Cage premiered his influential "silent" composition 4'33". Today 4'33" is recognized for upending traditional notions and structures of music and for opening up the possibilities of how we can fill space with sound emanating from chance, experimentation, and the surrounding audience and environment. In 1963, Cage debuted an interpretation of the composer Erik Satie's Vexations by having performers repeat the motif 840 times, as per Satie's original manuscript. In this series of performances, held in conjunction with the exhibition There Will Never Be Silence: Scoring John Cage's 4'33", artists, musicians, and MoMA staff members activate these two compositions in their own ways. Performers include Martha Wilson, Michael Smith, Geoffrey Hendricks, Lizzi Bougatsos, Serra Sabuncuoglu, and others.
In conjunction with the exhibition There Will Never Be Silence: Scoring John Cage's 4'33"
These programs are free with Museum admission and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

Celebrate Earth Day From Outer Space
by AMNH on
Join the Museum's annual celebration of Earth Day with Spaceship Earth on Thursday, April 19. This Hayden Planetarium program takes viewers across the planet's verdant hills and blue oceans and into space to view Earth as only astronauts have seen it. Director of Astrovisualization Carter Emmart will guide the tour using the Museum's Digital Universe Atlas, an authentic 3D map of the cosmos that uses satellite data as recent as three hours old to digitally reconstruct the universe. Emmart recently answered a few questions about the experience.
Why is it important to take a look at Earth's place in the universe?
Carter Emmart: Earth Day was a direct result of the first images acquired by astronauts viewing our home from the humbling distance of the Moon. One planet, ours, in space, alive with life and color, covered mostly by water and a dynamic atmosphere with constantly shifting clouds, and all this seen from our national goal of reaching the Moon, our nearest neighbor, lifeless, without color or water, and without atmosphere. Regardless of how fascinating the rest of the planets, moons, and asteroids are, ours is paradise. We are part of this world, and our survival goes hand in hand with it. We respond to its beauty as we respond to any beautiful landscape filled with color, form, and the dynamics of nature. Our Earth Day celebration is a moment to sit back and revere our planet and our existence.
Podcast: SciCafe: Island Birds and Biodiversity
by AMNH on
From Darwin's finches to the Dodo, island birds have inspired groundbreaking scientific theories. The genomic revolution and increased access to islands are now enabling a new age of island exploration by researchers.
Tracking Asteroids with Richard Binzel
by AMNH on
Space dust and asteroid fragments reach Earth's surface every day, but only rarely do extraterrestrial objects cause serious harm. Scientists use increasingly precise technology to track near-Earth objects and gauge if a Cretaceous-style collision could be on the horizon. At the forefront of this research is MIT professor Richard Binzel, whose Museum lecture Asteroids: Friends or Foes? on Monday, April 16, evaluates the threat of asteroids and makes a case for how they might actually be useful to humans. Binzel recently answered a few questions about his research.
Creatures of Light: Inside the Studio
by AMNH on
Months before the opening of Creatures of Light on March 31, a team of preparators at the Museum began developing custom models of glowing organisms that light up the exhibition. Director of Exhibition Design Michael Meister and other members of the Exhibition Department share how they conduct visual research for these unique models, work with curators to make them scientifically accurate, and meet the various lighting challenges of creating an exhibition about bioluminescence.
Titanic in 3D Includes Neil Tyson's Star Fix
by AMNH on
Today's re-release of James Cameron's blockbuster film Titanic in 3D will feature just one altered shot: a corrected view of the stars in the early hours of April 15, 1912, the day the "unsinkable" British ocean liner went down in the Atlantic Ocean.
The adjustment was made in response to feedback that Cameron, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail, received from Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson, who noticed an inaccuracy in the film after it was first released in 1997.

Knee arthroscopy - discharge
Alternate Names
Knee scope - arthroscopic lateral retinacular release - discharge; Synovectomy - discharge; Patellar debridement - discharge; Meniscus repair - discharge; Lateral release - discharge; Collateral ligament repair – discharge; Knee surgery - discharge
When You Were in the Hospital
You had surgery to check for problems in your knee (knee arthroscopy). You may have been checked for:
- Torn meniscus. Meniscus is cartilage that cushions the space between the bones in the knee. Surgery is done to repair or remove it.
- Torn or damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
- Inflamed or damaged lining of the joint. This lining is called the synovium.
- Misalignment of the kneecap (patella). Misalignment puts the kneecap out of position.
- Small pieces of broken cartilage in the knee joint
- Baker's cyst -- a swelling behind the knee that is filled with fluid. Sometimes this occurs when there is inflammation (soreness and pain) from other causes, like arthritis. The cyst can be removed during this surgery.
- Some fractures of the bones of the knee
What to Expect at Home
You may be able to put weight on your knee in the first week after having this surgery. Most people can return to their normal activities within the first month. You may need to be on crutches for a while. Ask your doctor if there are activities you should limit.
If you have a more complicated knee arthroscopy procedure, you may not be able to walk for several weeks. You may also need to use crutches or a knee brace. Full recovery may take several months to a year.
Pain is normal after knee arthroscopy. It should get better over time.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine. Get it filled when you go home so that you have it when you need it. Take your pain medicine when as soon as pain starts. This will prevent it from getting too bad.
You may have received a nerve block, so you don't feel pain during and after surgery. Make sure you take your pain medicine. The nerve block will wear off, and pain can return very quickly.
Taking ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory medicine may also help. Ask your doctor what other medicines are safe to take with your pain medicine.
Do NOT drive if you are taking narcotic pain medicine. This medicine may make you too sleepy to drive safely.
Your doctor will ask you to rest when you first go home. Keep your leg propped up on 1 or 2 pillows. Place the pillows under your foot or calf muscle. This helps control swelling in your knee.
For most procedures, you may start to put weight on your leg soon after surgery, unless your doctor or nurse tells you NOT to.
- Start slowly by walking around the house. You may need to use crutches at first to help you keep from putting too much weight on your knee.
- Try not to stand for long periods.
- Do any exercises you doctor taught you.
- Do not jog, swim, do aerobics, or ride a bicycle until your doctor tells you it is okay.
Ask your doctor when you can return to work or drive again.
Wound Care
You will have a dressing and an ace bandage around your knee when you go home. Do not remove these until your doctor or nurse says it is okay. Keep the dressing and bandage clean and dry.
Place an ice pack on your knee 4 to 6 times a day for the first 2 or 3 days. Be careful not to get the dressing wet. Do NOT use a heating pad.
Keep the ace bandage on until your doctor or nurse tells you it is okay to remove it.
- If you need to change your dressing for any reason, put the ace bandage back on over the new dressing.
- Wrap the ace bandage loosely around your knee. Start from the calf and wrap it around your leg and knee.
- Do NOT wrap it too tightly.
When you shower, wrap your leg in plastic to keep it from getting wet until your stitches or tape (Steri-Strips) have been removed. After that, you may get the incisions wet when you shower. Be sure to dry the area well.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- Blood is soaking through your dressing, and the bleeding does not stop when you put pressure on the area
- Pain does not go away after you take pain medicine
- You have swelling or pain in your calf muscle
- Your foot or toes look darker than normal or are cool to the touch
- You have redness, pain, swelling, or yellowish discharge from your incisions
- You have a temperature higher than 101 °F

Fahrenheit 451: The Temperature at Which Book Paper Catches Fire, and Burnsby Ray Bradbury
Staff Pick
Fahrenheit 451 is probably one of the most important books ever written. If the world of this novel comes to pass, I will be this book. (You'll have to read it to see what I mean.)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than 4 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 — originally published in 1953 — remains his most acclaimed work.
Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. Fahrenheit 451 is a short novel set in the (perhaps near) future when "firemen" burn books forbidden by the totalitarian "brave new world" regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is "a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh and blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch."
Today, when libraries and schools are still "burning" certain books, Fahrenheit 451 is a work of even greater impact and timeliness.
Nowadays firemen start fires. Fireman Guy Montag loves to rush to a fire and watch books burn up. Then he met a seventeen-year old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid, and a professor who told him of a future where people could think. And Guy Montag knew what he had to do....
Internationally acclaimed with more than 5 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury's classic novel of censorship and defiance, as resonant today as it was when it was first published nearly 50 years ago.
Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...
The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning ... along with the houses in which they were hidden.
Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames... never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.
Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think... and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!
About the Author
Ray Bradbury, American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter and poet, was born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from a Los Angeles high school in 1938.Although his formal education ended there, he became a "student of life," selling newspapers on L.A. street corners from 1938 to 1942, spending his nights in the public library and his days at the typewriter.He became a full-time writer in 1943, and contributed numerous short stories to periodicals before publishing a collection of them, Dark Carnival, in 1947.
His reputation as a writer of courage and vision was established with the publication of The Martian Chronicles in 1950, which describes the first attempts of Earth people to conquer and colonize Mars, and the unintended consequences.Next came The Illustrated Man and then, in 1953, Fahrenheit 451, which many consider to be Bradbury?s masterpiece, a scathing indictment of censorship set in a future world where the written word is forbidden.In an attempt to salvage their history and culture, a group of rebels memorize entire works of literature and philosophy as their books are burned by the totalitarian state.Other works include The October Country, Dandelion Wine, A Medicine for Melancholy, Something Wicked This Way Comes, I Sing the Body Electric!, Quicker Than the Eye, and Driving Blind.In all, Bradbury has published more than thirty books, close to 600 short stories, and numerous poems, essays, and plays.His short stories have appeared in more than 1,000 school curriculum "recommended reading" anthologies.Mr. Bradbury?s eagerly awaited new novel, From the Dust Returned, will be published by William Morrow at Halloween 2001.Morrow will release One More For the Road, a new collection Bradbury stories, at Christmas 2001.
Ray Bradbury?s work has been included in four Best American Short Story collections. He has been awarded the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, the PEN Center USA West Lifetime Achievement Award, among others.In November 2000, the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters was conferred upon Mr. Bradbury at the 2000 National Book Awards Ceremony in New York City.
Ray Bradbury has never confined his vision to the purely literary. He has been nominated for an Academy Award (for his animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright), and has won an Emmy Award (for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree).He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television?s Ray Bradbury Theater. He was the creative consultant on the United States Pavilion at the 1964 New York World?s Fair. In 1982 he created the interior metaphors for the Spaceship Earth display at Epcot Center, Disney World, and later contributed to the conception of the Orbitron space ride at Euro-Disney, France.
Married since 1947, Mr. Bradbury and his wife Maggie live in Los Angeles with their four beloved cats.They have four daughters and eight grandchildren.
On the occasion of his 80th birthday in August 2000, Bradbury said, "The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.The feeling I have every day is very much the same as it was when I was twelve.In any event, here I am, eighty years old, feeling no different, full of a great sense of joy, and glad for the long life that has been allowed me.I have good plans for the next ten or twenty years, and I hope you?ll come along."

RENSSELAER FALLS The Rensselaer Falls Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad joins Waddington as the latest north country ambulance service struggling to find volunteer emergency medical technicians.
Chief Jeffrey S. Hammond, who has been a firefighter for close to 30 years, said his biggest fear as chief is losing the villages ambulance service because of lack of membership. And now, he said, membership is dangerously low.
The department is down to four active members after losing four in the last year to retirement and members moving away. That places an exhausting burden on EMTs, who responded to 10 calls last month and more than 100 last year, Mr. Hammond said Friday.
If the squad loses its ambulance service, it will have to rely on departments in Canton or Ogdensburg. The added response time could mean the difference between life and death, Mr. Hammond said.
Its about 15 minutes from Canton and 20 minutes from Ogdensburg, Mr. Hammond said. Youre looking at doubling that time after you get to the scene, load up and go to the hospital.
In support of the rescue squad, firefighters regularly serve as drivers for EMTs, but they cant provide any kind of medical support other than CPR.
Mr. Hammond said he thinks the biggest factor in low membership is the time commitment for training and responding to calls. A typical EMT training course, which is given twice a year, runs close to 90 hours, according to the St. Lawrence County Office of Emergency Services.
I dont see anybody wanting to join, Mr. Hammond said. Weve had membership drives and we got very little support, if any, on new membership. But I think there are some people who may join if they are nudged a little bit. Maybe if we are showing that we are opening our doors to new members, people will come up and take an interest in it.
People interested in joining the fire or ambulance squad can call the fire station at 344-8853 or Mr. Hammond at 344-6618.

LISBON St. Lawrence County Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, is stepping down after his single term at the end of the year out of frustration.
I dont think in that arena I can accomplish what I thought I could, he said. I think Im better off stepping away.
Republican David W. Forsythe, who held the District 2 seat before Mr. Akins, will run for the position.
Mr. Akins said he had learned a lot during his time on the board and enjoyed all of the people he had met, but often felt as if he was beating his head against the wall.
Theres lot of things that frustrate me, he said.
During board discussions, Mr. Akins often asks his fellow legislators to pay more attention to long-term policy rather than focusing on short-term solutions to emergent situations, but they typically continue the conversation as if he had not spoken, he said.
Theres never a time when theyre not crashing and burning, he said.
Even accomplishments made tend to be short-term solutions, he said, such as the deal the county worked out with private trash haulers to keep the countys transfer stations in business. Once the agreement was brokered, the county stopped looking at future needs, such as what will happen when more organic materials have to be diverted from landfills.
I think what we did is a good step, Mr. Akins said. Its not anywhere where we need to be.
All county legislative positions are up for election in the fall, and the 9-6 Democratic majority could change, but Mr. Akins said he was not sure a Republican majority would significantly alter the way county government conducts itself.
I just dont feel theres a lot of support out there for real change, he said.

Collection of more than 5,000 e-books from Oxford University Press in the humanities and social sciences. Each book and each chapter within each book has an abstract and assigned subject headings, and everything is searchable and printable.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

Cafe Rio ...all the way!ReplyDelete
I think taco salads might be the perfect winter pick-me-up - tons of flavor that always fills you up.ReplyDelete
Now what I am looking for from Utah is the secrets of the Red Iguana - it's been a few months but I am still thinking of my dinner there!
I don't live in Utah but we try to visit Cafe Rio every time that we visit. I can't wait to try your version!!!ReplyDelete
Cafe rio is my favorite! I always get the veggie salad. Bajio is ok but I prefer rio. Josh actually likes costa visa another similar place.ReplyDelete
I like your Cafe Rio the best!ReplyDelete
Bajio has always tasted a bit fresher to me. But Cafe Rio's tortilla is better. Now that I haven't been eating tortillas for about a year, I definitely lean toward Bajio.ReplyDelete
i don't live in utah, but that pink bowl is BRIGHT!ReplyDelete
Cafe Rio's, and your version of it look the best, but I'm not a huge cilantro fan, so I'd have to taste that dressing first - I know, I speak heresy to the Cilantro Queen. What I'd really like is the contract selling those cute foil containers that appear to be an e$$ential ingredient!ReplyDelete
I see Cafe Rio is winning so far, although I have to say they're both very good. I wish I had some tips about the Red Iguana secrets. I've begged them for the secret to their Chile Verde, but no luck getting a recipe. I haven't been to Costa Visa, have to look for it.ReplyDelete
The recipe for Cafe Rio dressing is really good, but if you're not a cilantro lover I don't know how much you'd like it. They do have another dressing option, but I think it might have cilantro too. I think without the cilantro and lime it might be similar to Ranch Dressing, which would be good on this salad if you didn't like cilantro.
Hmm, now I'm craving a salad!
I am a big fan of the Cafe Rio salad. But I prefer the sweet rice and black beans at Bahio. Plus, you can get a side of rice and beans for $2 at Bahio. There's one close enough to my school to make a rice-and-beans lunch a staple. :)ReplyDelete
Jen, I didn't know about the side of rice and beans, sounds like a great option for kids too!ReplyDelete
I have to admit that I MUCH prefer a write-in.... Costa Vida. I find their flavor much more enjoyable.ReplyDelete
So now I have to wonder if what Maria is calling Costa Visa and Costa Vida are the same? Definitely will check on this place.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2009 at 12:26 PM
I like the looks of your South Beach Diet friendlier version of the Bajio salad, with some Cojita cheese and the creamy cilantro dressing!ReplyDelete
The Cafe Rio salad looks like what we usually have here in Roanoke, VA.
Having been to Casa Vida (?) and Cafe Rios only once on a visit last summer I really like them both........but I also like my version as well.ReplyDelete
Doodles, I agree, homemade taco salad is great. It's something I eat for lunch at least once or twice a week.ReplyDelete
I meant costa vida! Sorry for the typo! There is one at the gateway and foothill village.ReplyDelete
Thanks Maria. I'm definitely going to try it. (You can tell I don't get out much, LOL. Never seen it at either of those places or even heard of it. Good thing I have you guys to help me attempt to stay up on things!ReplyDelete
Oh, Kaylyn, there is absolutely NO CONTEST...Cafe Rio RULES! I have tried Bajio and Costa Vida...couldn't even finish my Costa Vida wanna be food. I have to laugh at reading your blog. I was just getting a long-awaited pedicure in St. George this morning, and my wonderful pedicurist only lives a few blocks from a Bajio. She told me she was craving a chicken enchilada the other day, but didn't want to drive clear to Cafe Rio. So she decided to try Bajio. She ended up giving her food to her dog. She is a Cafe Rio loyalist, too! My daughters who live in Colorado have to visit Cafe Rio whenever they come to Utah. Their food is perfection!ReplyDelete
That looks so yummy! Thanks for the great pictures and recipe!ReplyDelete
Cafe Rio, but Costa Vida is a close runner up, I don't go to Bajio ever.ReplyDelete
A taco salad from either would be incredible right about now! Yum!ReplyDelete
I love Cafe Rio! It's one of the many things I really miss since moving from Park City. I still have the frequent diner stamp card in my wallet...just in case:)I'll be making your version for sure!!!ReplyDelete
Half Baked, those cards are a great marketing idea for Cafe Rio. I'm not someone who usually bothers with that kind of thing, but I do have my Cafe Rio card in my wallet at all times!ReplyDelete
oh, I wanna go to Cafe Rio -- it will be a long trek from Kansas!! I'm so glad there are other taco salad freaks like meReplyDelete
Bajio. Love the corn and onions.ReplyDelete
Definitely Cafe Rio. I get the salad with the cilantro dressing every time I go. Yum!! I really don't like Bajio at all even though they look similar.ReplyDelete
Well I'm trying to remain neutral in this whole thing, but I'd say Cafe Rio is winning by a mile! I do love their salad, but I like Bajio too and look forward to trying Costa Vida as well.ReplyDelete
Costa Vida is my vote...especially since they add something that neither of the other restaurants do: mango! That makes it a hit for me.ReplyDelete
COSTA!!!!!!!!!! the Winner hands down. Esp the one in South Ogden, the food is good the staff is friendly. I have a love for the Mango chicken. I have tried the others and the are fine but not as good as Costa Vida baby!ReplyDelete

Both Cafe Rio and Bajio are good but the BEST in Utah is a single fresh mex restaurant in St. George named "Durango's". Their marinated, grilled chicken salad with spicy tomatilla dressing is to die for. If we ever move from this place I'll be making regular trips back just to pay a visit to Durango's! (By the way, if anyone has the recipe for Durgango's please post it, I'd love to have it!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2009 at 1:08 AM
Lots of Cafe Rio fanboys/girls!ReplyDelete
Have to agree about the two salads though, Cafe Rio is better, BUT nothing compares to Bajio!
Their sweet rice and the corn and the sweet onions....I would fly back to Rexburg, ID right now just to get some!
Also, Bajio's meats can't be beat - so good!
And the shrimp tacos with mango salsa...oh man!
I love Bajio's tacos. Their meat is seasoned better than Rio's, so are their black beans. But, for some reason, the salads are always better at Cafe Rio.ReplyDelete
Cafe Rio's salads are to die for. Anyone remember Durango Grill in Orem and Provo? Their salads, I thought, were comparable to Cafe Rio's, but Cafe Rio definitely had the better atmosphere. I must say, though, that Bajio's shrimp tacos, black beans, and rice are soooooo good. Does anyone have the recipe for the shrimp, beans, and rice? While I'm at it, I really miss Rosa's that was next to McDonald's on University and Bulldog in Provo. They had the best Chicken Mango Salad. It had green chile chutney and carmelized onions. I NEED that recipe too! I no longer live in Utah, but I always make sure I go to Bajio's several times when I'm there.ReplyDelete
Different places for different things. I love Cafe Rio Steak burritos, enchilada style. Bajio has very good fajitas, and the shrimp tacos are to die for. LOVE THEM. Especially with the mango salsa.ReplyDelete
I had to put in my two bits. Both are very good, but I actually prefer Bajio. My favorite items there are: the Pineapple Shrimp salad, which is amazing, their vinaigrette dressing, so yummo, the mild tomatillo green sauce, Shrimp tacos, tortilla soup, sweet onion rice, black beans or refried beans (can't stand the beans or rice at Cafe Rio), Chicken Green Chile salad or Chicken Green chili Quesadillas. The green chile chutney is awesome and they don't have that at Cafe Rio. I even like their tortillas better, although I'm not sure what is different. I really liked the pork at Bajio when they first opened, but I don't much anymore because they changed the recipe, and now I think it tastes like packaged taco seasoning, yuck. Cafe Rio definately has the best Pork. I think overall, Bajio has a fresher taste and a much more diverse menu. Probably my favorite Mexican dish is tamales, and the tamales at either place are fantastic, but they are only available one day out of the week and I never seem to remember when that is.ReplyDelete
Now I'm going to have to try out Bajio and decide for myself! Only been to Cafe Rio a few times, and I LOVE it. In California they've got their own versions as well. While my family loves Chipotle, they've never been to Cafe Rio, which wins in my opinion. Though I do prefer that you don't feel as rushed with your order at Chipotle.ReplyDelete

Thanks so much for mentioning that Cafe Rio has whole wheat tortillas! It never occured to me to ask, so I always just figured they were off-limits to SBD-er's. Today I had the salmon tacos, and they were fabulous!ReplyDelete
Anonymous, I'm not sure if the Cafe Rio tortillas are 100% whole wheat; I kind of doubt it, but I think they're okay for a treat once in a while. I usually get a salad with a whole wheat tortilla and no rice when I go there.ReplyDelete
Love the site! Do you happen to have the recipe for Bajio's vinegrette dressing they use on their Chicken Green Chili Salad?? I found the one for their cilantro lime dressing, but prefer the other one. Would love your recipe for the Cafe Rio salads!!ReplyDelete
Quilt Family, glad you like the blog. I don't have any of the recipe for Bajio, but here is the recipe for Cafe Rio Dressing, Chicken, and Rice. There are a few other supposedly Cafe Rio recipes that people have left in comments on that post too, enjoy!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!

Dr. Paul T. Abrinko's Ratings
I have always had a fantastic experience with Dr. Abrinko. Unlike many psychiatrists who merely write prescriptions, Dr. Abrinko takes the time to learn about the patient's life and treat them like a person, not just a file. Additionally, as my knowledge of pharmacology increased, Dr Abrinko increasingly discussed the chemical details of my medications, adjusting his work style to the patient's changing needs. Consequently I have continued to see Dr. Abrinko as my psychiatrist despite having moved out of state.

Dr. Abrinko is extremely smart and caring. He helped me tremendously through a difficult period. He understands family dynamics and encourages personal growth. He would be a great psychiatrist for both adults and children.

For this post I am sharing many different jobs related to chocolate. Although the color of chocolate was fairly unexciting, I discovered there were infinite varieties of brown. In fact, I mixed almost every color on my palette together in order to find them.
I began my career by making paintings that resembled photos. Now I work digitally by using photos and making them look like paintings!
When illustrating chocolate curls and squares, there was never an end to art direction for tone and color.
Probably one of my first paintings that propelled me toward being a food illustrator was my Nestle Crunch Bar. It was painted in my last year of college and I learned how hard it was to hand-letter writing on the wrapper. But I loved the broken chocolate texture.
I made a promotional postcard using this image. A decade later, I decided to paint a more exciting candy bar. This time I chose a Snicker's Bar. Thankfully, I discovered a process to work with lettering that was more precise, although it still required painstaking detail and planning.
I also had postcards made with this image and it was great for getting jobs. Art directors told me it made them hungry.
In 1992, I won an award from the Society Of Illustrators of Los Angeles for my Snicker's bar illustration.
My Snicker's bar was such an excellent promotion piece that it led to a job illustrating a label for a Balance Bar. I wasn't allowed to do drips for this painting and I sure missed them. At the end of this post, I'll share more close-ups of the caramel and chocolate I loved painting.
Early in my career, I painted four labels for Little Debbie's Snack Cakes. Once again, painting chocolate was fun and I had to resist snacking on my photo reference. Taking bites out of items was a whole other technique I developed!
The texture for chocolate definitely varied depending upon the product I was illustrating. Combining it with caramel or crispy rice, or shaving it for a curl was certainly different. And splashing, melted chocolate was probably the most difficult thing of all to illustrate.
So for this post, as I share many different jobs that related to chocolate I also share one that was not successful. It was for a chocolate-raspberry product. The line sketch for my art direction looks fairly straightforward. The actual product was dark inside and not very appealing. My final artwork was my best effort, but ultimately was rejected by the client and I was only partially paid.
A fairly recent job of mine was for Kirkland/Costco. The illustration was for chocolate calcium chews. I share below my photo reference for the chews. I never liked illustrating splashes and was relieved that this one worked.
Some of these paintings were rendered with markers and colored pencils and others were created with watercolor dyes. I have a blog where I describe my technique and have a lot more information. It is at:

PROVIDENCE -- Ed Cooley and his Providence College Friars ended up playing eight games in November. It nevertheless seemed that all took a backseat to the reoccurring storylines and hot topics that remain just as fervent as the calendar flips to the second month of the college basketball season.
PROVIDENCE -- Ed Cooley and his Providence College Friars ended up playing eight games in November. It nevertheless seemed that all took a backseat to the reoccurring storylines and hot topics that remain just as fervent as the calendar flips to the second month of the college basketball season.
Yes, the Friars now have seven wins against one defeat, the latest addition to the victory total coming Friday afternoon in a wire-to-wire 76-69 victory over Fairfield. All appears rosy and on the upswing in Friartown with a matchup against John Calipari and his prized collection of Kentucky wunderkinds looming on Sunday, a contest that Cooley added some additional spice to with the following chin music – "I don't give a damn about Kentucky."
Cooley was asked Friday if he had done much homework about Julius Randle and the rest of Kentucky's "Big Blue Machine." The head coach began his response by saying that he has not watched the Wildcats for one … there was no "second" or "moment" that followed "one" as Cooley opted to defuse the David vs. Goliath hype that he has undoubtedly heard in his travels.
"We've got some great players, too. I don't want anyone to look at my team like we're some stepchild hoping to get lucky," Cooley stated boldly. "We're going to go down (to Brooklyn's Barclays Center) and we're going to be confident, passionate and play with a lot of pride."
There's another word that begins with the letter "p" that Cooley should have mentioned as part of his sermon about Kentucky hoops – players.
To date, the Friars have not taken the floor in the regular season with the assembled cast that was expected to be in the fold when the games started to count for real. The Nov. 2 exhibition game against Rhode Island College at The Dunk marks the only "game action" for Rodney Bullock and Brandon Austin, the two first-year PC players who have logged eight straight "DNPs" due to an indefinite suspension that seems more bizarre and head-scratching with each passing day.
If Bullock and Austin were in truly hot water, why then were they permitted to travel to the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam? Such a decision presumably opened the door for each to make their PC debuts. Alas, neither of the first-year Friars saw action during Providence's three-game tournament run.
"They are young men who have made a mistake, and their best support group was in the Virgin Islands," said Cooley. "I want them to know that they are supported 100 percent. They came to (Providence) to be educated and play basketball, and it's a great education to go to St. Thomas, and it's an incredible basketball situation.
"For the people that thought they were going down to play, they were there to support their teammates."
In keeping with this season-long soap opera, Bullock and Austin did not view the Fairfield contest from PC's bench. Kris Dunn was spotted in basketball attire, but due to persistent shoulder woes, the sophomore point guard did not play.
"Not having Kris definitely hurt our depth and pace of play," Cooley said. "His shoulder is sore and right now he's day-to-day. That's a major concern for us. Taking a talent like that off the floor definitely shortens our rotation."
Cooley mentioned that Dunn aggravated the shoulder during Monday's Paradise Jam championship finale against Maryland, a 56-52 defeat (though that came following a spirited comeback). The decision to hold out the only true capable ball-handler on Providence's roster was made Thursday. Dunn, who first suffered the shoulder setback during that aforementioned exhibition game against the Anchormen, has missed half of the Friars' eight games thus far.
"Ed and I are good buddies and we were talking before the game. He mentioned that (Dunn would be a no-go)," said Fairfield mentor Sydney Johnson. "I think they've got to take care of their guys and Ed's just trying to coach up the ones who are healthy."
Cooley should be pleased as punch about how his shorthanded Friars have been able to hold their heads above water and get out of November with what some might say is a surprising 7-1 record – surprising because Providence is far from whole.
"We've had to adjust game to game," said Cooley about the constant shuffling and re-shuffling he's had to do. "A lot of our positions have been pushed up. We probably don't want (Bryce) Cotton on the ball for 40 minutes or Josh (Fortune) at the two (guard) for 40 minutes."
Along those lines, Cooley probably doesn't want to run into the same kind of situation he ran into Friday. After Fortune picked up his fourth foul with 9:23 remaining, Cooley turned to walk-on Ted Bancroft, who as of this moment is the third guard on the depth chart. It was the classic "next man up" syndrome in a season where depth, particularly to the Friars' backcourt, has received a serious jolt.
Not having the anticipated pieces has been readily apparent at times for Cooley & Co. Providence was the definition of a yo-yo in the Virgin Islands, playing well for stretches followed by segments where nothing seemed to go right. That inconsistent pattern held true against Fairfield as the Friars went from on the verge of running the Stags out of the building – PC went up by 19 points at 5:27 of the opening half – to allowing the visitors to creep back into the picture.
The Stags cut it to 46-40 early in the second half and were within nine points at 64-55 with five minutes remaining. In each instance, the Friars were able to turn on the afterburners and pull away.
"The guys who are playing, they're tough guys," said PC's LaDontae Henton, who filled up the box score with 12 points, seven rebounds and five steals.
Cotton ended up logging 38 minutes while Henton played 39. Even though he picked up his fourth foul with a ton of time remaining, Fortune appeared in 38 more.
Such heavy workloads probably wouldn't exist if Cooley had a full complement of Friars at his service. The question is, when will that day happen?

I am pleased to announce the re-availability of FreeBSD development snapshots provided by the FreeBSD Project.
As with any development branch, these snapshots are not intended for use on production systems. However, we do encourage testing on non-production systems as much as possible.
Users interested in testing the development branches are also encouraged to subscribe to the freebsd-snapshots@ mailing list, where new snapshot availability, including corresponding installation image checksums, and any additional noteworthy information about the images will be announced.
The list subscription URL is: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-snapshots
Snapshots may be downloaded from the corresponding architecture subdirectory over FTP: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/
Problems, bug reports, or regression reports should be reported through the GNATS PR system or the appropriate mailing list, such as -current@ or -stable@ .
This directory contains FreeBSD installation snapshots for the head/ and stable/ branches. The snapshot installation media are organized in the same hierarchy as the FreeBSD release installers, for example:
The FTP structure is also available for bootonly.iso installers.
These snapshots do not include a package distribution, and do not include the release notes documentation.
Snapshots are expected to be generated weekly. Snapshot retention is expected to be the current week and three prior weeks. The FTP directory will always contain the distribution sets for the most recent snapshot.
Snapshots are named as:
where BRANCH is the official branch name (such as 10.0-CURRENT, or 9.2-STABLE), ARCH is the target architecure the release was built, DATE is the day the snapshot was built in YYYYMMDD format, and SVNREV is the svn revision number at the point in time the snapshot was generated.
The CHECKSUM.MD5 and CHECKSUM.SHA256 files are suffixed with the date the snapshots were generated.
In general, it can be expected that all snapshots will be built with the same subversion revision, as to avoid inconsistencies between images built on the same day.
Be sure to check the mailing lists for those architectures (e.g., freebsd-sparc64 mailing list for the sparc64 architecure) before taking one of those snapshots. The specific testing purpose that snapshot was generated for should be mentioned there. The snapshot ISOs in those architecture directories may not be suitable for general use.
Those who wish to keep up-to-date on the latest snapshot availability are advised to subscribe to the freebsd-snapshots@ mailing list, where new snapshots will be announced, including the image checksums and any notable information regarding a particular snapshot set.

Bus deal fails, drivers to go on strike at midnight
PHOENIX — Hundreds of bus drivers will go on strike midnight Wednesday after labor negotiations between Valley Metro and a bus drivers' union failed.
Hundreds of bus drivers were voted to go on
strike and shut down public transportation in several Phoenix-area
Transit-union leaders rejected a final offer Monday from bus company operator
First Transit.
The strike will stop bus service on 40 routes in Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and
Gilbert plus some routes in Scottsdale and Ahwatukee Foothills, and express
service from those communities to downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. About 57,000 passengers will be affected.
Susan Tierny with Valley Metro said those passengers will need to find other modes of transportation.
"Try to get rides from family members, friends, ask your boss if you can telecommute," she said. "Start looking now at the different options you may have."
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1433 represents about 400 drivers. First
Transit operates buses for the Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation
The strike follows more than a month of contentious labor negotiations.
Union officials said First Transit asked drivers to accept significant hikes in
health-care contributions and wants to give Valley Metro RPTA greater rights to
fire union members.
Jen Biddinger, a spokesperson for First Transit, issued a statement regarding the strike Wednesday evening.
We are disappointed in the decision by the union and regret that we have been unable to reach an agreement.
We have presented several offers which are fair and equitable, especially considering current economic conditions. Our offer included significant improvement in premium costs specific to employees who select coverage for their spouses and families. We value each of our employees, and appreciate the focus and commitment to safety they bring to their positions each day.
We have contacted the federal mediator to determine why the offer was rejected and to explore additional discussions with the union in an attempt to avoid a strike.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience this will have on passengers.
For more information, go to valleymetro.org.
KTAR's Martha Maurer contributed to this report.

A's likely to retain Grant Balfour, unclear about Jonny Gomes
A's GM Billy Beane has indicated he intends to retain RHP Grant Balfour for the 2013 season, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Balfour, 34, went 3-2 with a 2.53 ERA in 75 relief appearances for Oakland in 2012. He signed a two-year, $8.1 million contract with the A's before the 2011 season – his deal includes a $4.5 million club option for 2013 with a $350,000 buyout.
Meanwhile, Jane Lee of MLB.com says the A's would like to bring OF Jonny Gomes back next season, although A's manager Bob Melvin said Gomes' situation is a "work in progress."
Gomes, 31, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the A's this past January. He hit .262 with 18 home runs and 47 RBI in 279 at-bats over 99 games with Oakland in 2012.

Stainless Steel Cock Rings Wholesale
You want something that will be snug when erect, but not so tight that you cut off circulation and cause tissue damage. To measure yourself for a stainless steel cock ring, get hard, and then take a string and slip it behind your balls and tug it up snug around the top of your cock close to your body. Mark the string on both sides where it comes together at a snugness that's comfortable for you. Remove the string and measure between the marks. This process is even simpler if you have a cloth tape-measure like tailors use. Whatever you use to measure, that will give you your package circumference. Our solid rings are measured by the inside diameter, which means you'll need to divide by pi (3.14). A 2" diameter wholesale cock ring will fit snugly on a man with a 6.28" circumference package.

Jet Another Route for Jet2.com
- Flights to Salzburg from £49 per person
Northern Ireland's leading leisure airline, Jet2.com has added another route to its already impressive portfolio of destinations. Salzburg, in Austria, is its 16th destination from Belfast International Airport, and is particularly popular with skiers and snowboarders.
Flights are now on sale for the winter 2013/14 ski season from just £49 one way including taxes.
Steve Heapy, Chief Executive of Jet2.com, says; "Last year we launched Geneva and it was a roaring success with all flights fully booked. This year is looking extremely good too, with record passengers. We wanted to build on this demand with the launch of Salzburg, giving ski and board enthusiasts an even greater range of fantastic ski destinations. I am confident that it will be extremely popular, especially with our friendly low fares and generous 22kg baggage allowance. Salzburg is the gateway to the Austrian Alps and offers our customers great value, choice and flexibility from Belfast."
Jet2.com has put the route on sale earlier than previous years to ensure customers can plan ahead and budget effectively for their much anticipated ski trips. With one flight per week to Salzburg taking off from Saturday 21 December until Saturday 5 April, there's plenty of opportunity to get on the piste next season, whether it's for a Christmas, New Year or even a mid-term break.
Steve Heapy continues; "The feedback from our ski and board customers is that they want to be able to book now for next season so they can budget and look forward to being back on the snow. For those who simply can't wait for their snow fix, flights to Geneva will run until 6th April 2013 and start from just £34 one way including taxes."

So you've made sure your computer has enough memory, a fast enough processor, and enough hard drive space to comfortably run Windows 7 and all your favorite programs. Now what? It's time to examine your video card if you haven't already.
Replacing your video card (also called a graphics card) with a newer, more powerful model is one of the easiest and most cost-effective upgrades you can make to most computers—especially if your computer didn't come with a video card at all.
Many PCs today come with integrated graphics in place of a video card. These are graphics processors that are integrated with your computer's motherboard. Integrated graphics are getting more powerful all the time, but a dedicated video card still has more power—and often a lot more power.
Before any laptop owners start making plans to upgrade their graphics capability, let's be clear: we're only talking about desktop PCs here. You can't upgrade the graphics in most laptops since they use integrated graphics or a graphics processing unit (GPU) build into the computer. Laptops don't have room inside for a video card like desktop PCs. So be sure to check the graphics capability of a laptop before you buy it.
If you don't know what video card or GPU you have in your computer, check the specifications from the manufacturer, or look in Screen Resolution in Control Panel.
Many people never think of replacing the video card when they upgrade their desktop PC. Experts often recommend adding more random access memory (RAM) to your computer in order to boost its memory to at least 2 GB. This is always a good idea. But if you want to boost performance even more, check your computer's graphics power.
An easy way to do this is to look at your PC's Windows Experience Index score. This includes a subscore for Gaming graphics and another for Graphics performance.
The Windows Experience Index measures the capabilities of your computer's hardware and software and then displays this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower base score, especially when performing more advanced and resource-intensive tasks.
The subscores are the result of tests run on your computer's RAM, CPU (processor), hard disk, general desktop graphics, and 3D gaming graphics hardware. You can use the subscores to figure out what you need to upgrade, such as the video card or RAM.
The scores currently range from 1.0 to 7.9.

View the Windows Experience Index base score and subscores for your computer. If you recently upgraded your hardware and want to find out if your score has changed, click Re-run the assessment.

If you don't see a base score or subscores, click Rate this computer.
Ak sa zobrazí výzva na zadanie hesla správcu alebo potvrdenie, zadajte heslo alebo potvrďte akciu.
A computer with a base score of 4.0 or 5.0 can run new features of Windows 7, and it can support running multiple programs at the same time. A computer with a base score of 6.0 or 7.0 has a faster hard disk, and can support high-end, graphics-intensive experiences, such as multiplayer and 3D gaming and recording and playback of HDTV content.
If your Gaming graphics subscore is below 4.0 or 5.0, and you want to be able to perform graphics-intensive tasks with your computer, consider upgrading your video card. If this score is high enough, your Graphics subscore should also be fine. The Graphics subscore measures what is frequently described as business graphics or desktop graphics—the ability to display slide presentations, documents, and other less demanding file types.
Almost all computers made within the past few years take the same type of video card—one that fits into a PCI Express (PCIe) slot inside a computer. There are full-size and low-profile PCIe cards. Some computers with smaller cases require low-profile cards, which take up less space inside a computer case. If you think your computer might only have room for a low-profile card, check the specifications for your computer.
Some older computers require a video card that fits into an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot. You can't plug a PCIe card into an AGP slot or vice versa. To verify what kind of slots your PC has, see the information that came with your PC or check the manufacturer's website.
If your desktop computer doesn't have PCIe card slots or at least one AGP slot, you're probably due for a new PC. PCIe cards come in different speeds (1x, 4x, and 16x), but all of these cards should work in computers with a PCIe slot.
So why buy a new video card? Simple—faster graphics. With a better video card, programs that require a lot of power for graphics processing should run faster and more smoothly, such as programs that play high-definition video, render photorealistic 3D graphics, or let you edit high-resolution pictures or video. A better card can also make the animations and other visual effects in Windows run better.
The classic reason for buying a new video card is to add power for playing PC games. As 3D games get ever more detailed and realistic, they require more and more graphics muscle. Serious gamers crave the latest high-end video cards so they can run the latest PC games smoothly.
You don't have to be a gamer to benefit from a new video card, however, especially if your PC has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated video card. The processing power in even a moderately priced video card today is dramatically better than what you could buy at any price just a few years ago.
A new video card can bring other benefits as well. Some video cards have two video ports on them, so you can connect two monitors to them at once. Make sure the video ports match your monitor connection. For example, if you have two monitors with DVI ports, get a video card with two DVI ports. Some new video cards also include an HDMI port for connecting your PC to an HDTV.
How to select a good video card from among the hundreds of models available is beyond the scope of this article, but there are many online reviews of the latest cards. One easy way to pick a video card is to budget how much you want to spend—say $100 to $150—and then get the best card you can for that price. That might seem simplistic, but unless you have a specific need for a more powerful video card, most mid-priced cards will be fast enough.
The vast majority of people just want to install one video card in their computer. But some cards can be piggybacked together for extra power, allowing you to plug two or three video cards into two or three empty card slots (but you might also need a compatible motherboard and beefy power supply). Manufacturers have their own brand names for these multi-card technologies, which are aimed at power users and gamers.
Don't worry about how much graphics RAM is in the card, such as 256 MB versus 512 MB. More graphics RAM doesn't really boost performance.
Once you make sure your PC has the right type of slot for the card you want, check the card's driver compatibility at the
Windows 7 Compatibility Center. This website contains a comprehensive list of hardware and devices that have been tested to work with Windows 7, including video cards.
Before installing a video card, check the information that came with it. The guidelines shown here are general, and the video card documentation might contain important information specific to installing that card. Also, be sure to check the information that came with your computer to see if opening your computer case affects the computer's warranty coverage.
Turn off your computer and unplug it from its power source. This is very important. Installing a video card in a computer that's plugged in could shock you or damage the card and computer.
Open the computer case. Look on the computer cover (usually on the back) for screws or clasps to undo the case. Computer documentation typically includes instructions on how to open the case.
After opening the case, ground yourself by touching the metal casing that surrounds the jack where the power cord plugs in. This can help protect you from an electric shock and can help protect the new card and existing computer components from static electricity.
If you have an existing video card, you should remove it before installing the new card. If your computer has integrated graphics, you can proceed to the "To install your new video card" section of this topic.
Locate your video card. If you're not certain which card is your video card, follow the cable from your monitor to the back of the card, and then note which slot that card is in.
Remove any screw or hook holding your video card in place.
Carefully pull the video card straight out of the slot. Be careful not to twist or bend the card as you remove it. Try pulling up on one end of the card first and then the other. You might have to gently rock the card back and forth to loosen it from the slot.
Even if you're throwing away the old video card, use caution when removing it to avoid damaging the motherboard. If it seems stuck, it's better to spend a few extra minutes tugging gently than to rip the card out too quickly.
Locate an empty expansion slot in the computer that will accept your new video card.
If your computer doesn't have an empty slot, you'll have to remove another card before you can install the new one. If you removed an existing video card, you can use the same slot if your new card uses the same type of expansion slot. Check your computer's documentation if you need to determine the types of expansion slots it has available.
Gently place the video card on top of the slot. Line up the pins on the video card with the slot and push the card gently down so that it sits in the slot. Be sure that the card is pushed all the way in and that it's secure. If the pins on the card aren't perfectly aligned with the pins in the expansion slot, the card won't work properly.
Screw the video card to the frame or attach any hooks that hold the card in place. Don't bend the video card or the frame while tightening the screw. It might be best to tighten the screw barely more than you can tighten it with your fingers.
Close the computer case and replace any screws you removed when opening the case.
Plug your computer back into its power source, and then turn it on.
When you turn on your computer for the first time with the new video card installed, Windows will automatically install a driver for the card. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, so that Windows can search for the latest driver. To make sure you get all the drivers available from Windows Update, see Automatické získavanie odporúčaných ovládačov a aktualizácií pre hardvér.
If your video card came with a disc from the manufacturer, that disc might contain software that installs a driver for the card. However, it's usually best to let Windows try to find and install a driver automatically. If there's a problem, then try installing a driver from the manufacturer.
Once you have your new video card up and running, try launching a game, watching some high-definition video, or tackling some other task that requires a lot of graphics muscle. What you see should please your eyes.

Supervisors in the far Northern California county where residents are fed up with what they see as a lack of representation at the state capitol and overregulation, have voted in favor of separating from the state. The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013 for a declaration of secession. The vote appears mostly symbolic since secession would require approval from the state Legislature and the U.S. Congress, but supporters say it would restore local control over decision making. They want other rural counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon to join them in the creation of a new state called the State of Jefferson. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
