This is no one night stand
It's a real occasion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
--"Babylon Sisters," Steely Dan (Gaucho)
Howdy folks. Welcome back to my little food-world. I'm really tickled to have been asked to blog again so soon, and am looking forward to having another really fun time with y'all. And I do hope that, once again, people will feel free to participate with questions, suggestions, stories, whatever turns you on about what I'll be presenting.
In this week of traipsing around with me, you'll notice that a lot of the same obsessions evident in my first blog will still be in full effect in this one, including but not limited to: good cheap eats in little hole-in-the-wall mom-n-pop joints; ethnic markets; Asian cuisines; exploring neighborhoods; shameless references to classic rock.
You'll also note a whole new obsession making its presence known, which I realize I've been harping about almost too often in my posts around eGullet recently--but hey, it's helping me keep my commitment, so I appreciate you all humoring me. Yep, I'm talking about my whole little crusade to come up with a weight-management plan for myself that is realistic, healthy, customized to my food preferences, and enjoyable enough that I can stick to it for a good long time without it driving me nutz. So far it's been going pretty darned good, if I do say so myself. So I'm only feeling a little bit nervous showing you all what I do now to implement this weight-management plan in my daily food doings.
Part of what I do now with weight-management will be occupying most of my morning today (I mean, once I get done with the business of sleeping). I'll be headed over to my HMO for my weekly weigh-in and exercise class. Then I've got a bunch of errands lined up, some of which are food-related: one will be catching lunch at a local pho cafe, and at least one other will involve some shopping. I will bring camera along, of course, and do my best Harriet the Spy imitation for your enjoyment.
Other plans will be revealed as the week progresses. Some of them are admittedly rather fluid--I do a lot of little shopping trips for fresh produce, and I tend to let what I cook be influenced by what looks good and appeals to me at any given moment. And this week, I'll also be soliciting opinions and ideas from you folks--so feel free to chime in.
As to (somewhat) more solid plans: I do know there will be at least one outdoor farmer's market. I think there's supposed to be at least one food-related community event at my organo-groovy UU church. There will even, finally, be a visit to Ba Ren, the local Szechuan joint I love so well--my food plan includes, for the sake of my sanity, the concept of the pre-planned occasional splurge, and a few of my local foodish friends will help me demonstrate how that's done.
Oh, and I can't resist filling you in about the photos from my blog teaser, especially as they too relate to planned blog stops:
This is a wonderful Vietnamese soup known as "bun" -- actually, I think the word "bun" refers specifically to the type of rice vermicelli noodles used in this style of soup. This variation has tomatoes, periwinkle meats, and fluffy cubes of shrimp cake. The broth is spicy, and enriched with a fermented fish paste. Like its sister-soup pho, this one comes with a big pile of veggies and herbs to add in. I had this at Saigon, 4455 El Cajon Blvd, one of the westernmost outposts of a whole string of Vietnamese and other Asian restaurants and shops that I am busily exploring. I may or may not hit Saigon again during the week, but I'll definitely show you some of "The Boulevard's" delights.
Oh yeah--and this blog would not be complete without an appearance by the owner of this scarf:
I guess I gotta call him Fearless Ex-Housemate now, huh? I was over at Humphrey's Backstage Lounge, a local live-music venue attached to a very popular resort/restaurant complex, to hear one of FXH's bands perform, and I was lining up a photo of the extremely nice warm scallop and shimp salad they served me there. When FXH noticed how Humphrey's dishware pattern matched the scarf he was wearing (swag from the recent concert tour of Donald Fagen, better known as one half of the classic-rock act Steely Dan), he couldn't resist accessorizing my photo--and voila, he "scarfed" my salad. (ow. sorry, couldn't resist).
It was in fact FXH's Steely Dan tribute band that was playing that night--whenever he plays there, he can't resist directing the audience's attention to the view out the lounge's windows:
...of course, it's night by the time he sings the lines "The end of a perfect day/Distant lights from across the bay..."
All this is actually on topic, because there will be at least one more planned musical visit from FXH during this blog--and food will very much be involved.

|State Employees Have Budget Plan
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 16 February 2011 07:11
Saving state employee jobs is certainly front and center for the State employees Association, but with the state facing a 2.7 billion dollar shortfall, the State Employee's Association unveiled plan to fill the gap and still have money left over.
SEANC said Tuesday that it can find $10 billion in savings for the state by simply making choices. The advocate organization for state employees outlined the cost saving plan at a news conference on Tuesday. Some of the proposed actions in the report include closing loopholes in the film and tobacco industries and NASCAR, consolidating state funded health care and even moving state employees to a four-day 10 hour work week. SEANC Executive Director Dana Cope said more can be done to help the state save money by eliminating advantages for companies and by cutting services and jobs.

DARIEN CENTER, N.Y. - Friday night there were thousands of people out enjoying the Brad Paisley concert at Darien Lake. And while there are many who will exit the gates with great memories, there are others that will leave with tickets and a bit of a stain on their legal record.
This has prompted law enforcement agencies and Darien Lake officials to deal with the rowdy crowds and other problems ranging from major traffic jams, to violence and underage drinking.
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office says last year there were more than 600 arrests for underage drinking there. So far this year, that number is on par at about 200 arrests.
"This is the goal, to keep people safe, get people in here to have a good time and get out safely that is the overall goal," said Deputy Chief Gordon Dibble of the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
To slowly curb illegal activity, this is the first full concert season that's prohibited people from walking into the park to see a concert. That means everyone needs to be driven there. This strategy began at the tail end of last summer.
"We think actually concentrating the parking lot helped in enforcement, so that we can control all the people who are coming to a concert," said Steve Hallowell, the marketing director at Darien Lake.
Also, a checkpoint, which has been used for a few years, starts a couple hours before a concert to check identification. Underage drinkers have alcohol confiscated and are fined. But there's less emphasis on the checkpoint when traffic lines get too long.
"Yes, it's not 100 percent, there's no way we can stop every car in Darien Lake, so it's a very quick check," said Dibble.
Police say they rely on other officers inside the park including those who are undercover to catch illegal activity.
Also, Darien Lake completed a fence around the park, to keep concertgoers from walking in. Police say there is enough parking here and enough officers. Darien Lake says it spends $500,000 for security and traffic control for their summer concert series.

BURLINGTON - The basketball career of Albany's Kylie Atwood has continued at the University of Vermont.
Atwood, a freshman, has gotten good minutes for the Lady Cats this season, including six starts for the 7-17 ballclub. Atwood played 25 minutes against American East foe and power Boston University Wednesday night. The Cats lost by nine to the 21-4 Terriers. The former Lake Region Lady Ranger has made the switch to Division One woman's basketball and is enjoying the ride.
For more on Kylie's story, see Friday's edition of The Newport Daily Express for Feb. 15, 2013.
NEWPORT CENTER – Newport Center needs a new fire truck, and the town will ask voters on Town Meeting Day to approve $25,000 a year for the next four years for the purchase.
Chief Kurk Flynn said the department wants to replace a 1975 pumper truck that has massive amounts of rust, which makes it unsafe.
JAY–It has been four years coming, and it was worth the wait, as the North Country boy's hockey team finally defeated the BFA Bobwhites by a 3-2 margin on Wednesday night at the Ice Haus Arena.
"I was very happy for the guys to come away with the victory, especially with all of the stories that they have heard about BFA," said NCU coach Andrew Roy. "It was a good game of hockey, we limited their scoring opportunities, had a few of our own and won the game."
Chris Bronson stopped 17 shots as North Country improves to 11-4-1. The two Bobwhite goalies combined to stop 16 for 6-8-2 BFA.
NEWPORT - It took seven hours to retrieve Paul Lavalette's truck from the bottom of Lake Memphremagog last Sunday.Â
The truck was located at a depth of 25 feet. The first step in retrieving the truck was locating it. Will Jennison, owner of JD Company of Johnson, VT, said the truck's front end was buried in several feet of mud.Â
The truck was lifted from the bottom using air bags and pulled to a hole near the shore before being pulled out.
LOWELL – The Vermont Energy Generation Siting Commission toured the Kingdom Community Wind project in Lowell Tuesday. Later that evening, the five-member commission held its third public hearing at the Lowell Village School to a crowd of several hundred people.
Gov. Peter Shumlin appointed the commission to recommend best practices for improving how power generation sites are chosen and how to get public input.
The commission's next session will be Feb. 20 in Montpelier. Attendees could speak about anything related to energy; most stuck with the topic of wind.Â
NEWPORT – Bill Stenger's Q-Resorts does not yet own the Spates Block in Newport City, but will likely very soon.
Q-Resorts has an agreement with Doug and Vivian Spates to buy the block, which stretches from Central Street to Second Street, but the closing has yet to occur. It was scheduled for the end of December, and then the end of January, but it didn't happen, and Doug Spates said he does not know why or when it will.
Spates speculates that there are hold-ups somewhere and said he thinks it could have to do with an environmental certificate, but doesn't know the details.

4.0-inch, 1.23-megapixel LCD Monitor
A 4.0-inch, 1.23-megapixel LCD monitor provides a large, accurate area for critical focus confirmation and approximately 100% field of view. The display is freely rotating- able to open on both the right and left side of the camera body. The display also features an additional 35º of forward movement past normal position. The large range of movement makes the display adjustable for easy viewing even in the most difficult shooting positions. The flexibility and fluidity of movement also makes the display less susceptible to accidental damage, compared to a more rigid design, if bumped during recording.
High Resolution, 1.55-megapixel EVF
The XF300 Professional Camcorder features a 0.52-inch, 1.55 Megapixel Color EVF and approximately 100% field of view coverage for comfortable viewing and accurate judgment of composition, focus and color. The angle of the viewfinder is adjustable for additional user comfort and when using the LCD display for monitoring. The EVF can be used as a cheek pad to ensure three points of contact when hand holding and maximizing stability. This makes the camcorder much easier to manage during extended recording periods and long days of shooting.
Focus Assist Functions
Edge Monitor Focus Assist System
With Canon's new Edge Monitor Focus Assist system, a red and green monitor is shown at the bottom of the LCD Display and three red focus check areas are shown across the display. The green waveform shows overall focus of the image, while the red waveform shows the focus status of the focus check boxes. Through this dynamic focus feedback, the user can intuitively tune focus in a scene and quickly change the zone of focus.
Two peaking modes and a magnify focus assist function are available in standby and record mode (LCD monitor and EVF), making it extremely easy for the XF300 operator to check and confirm critical focus.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.

Lost Persons Area
2009. Belgium/Netherlands/Hungary/Germany. Caroline Strubbe. 109 min.

Wednesday, July 2, 2014, 4:30 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
Lost Persons Area
2009. Belgium/Netherlands/Hungary/Germany. Written and directed by Caroline Strubbe. Strubbe's debut feature premiered in the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes, where it won the SACD Screenwriting Award. The title is a reference to an Elliott Erwitt photograph of anxious women waiting in a Pasadena parking lot, although Strubbe's displaced persons—a construction foreman (Sam Louwyck), his unhappy wife (Lisbeth Gruwez) and their silent, eerily independent seven year old daughter (Kimke Desart)—live in a sunny, vacant landscape beneath a high tension power line. Into this literally charged environment comes a Hungarian worker (Zoltán Miklós Hajdu) whose presence leads to tragedy. 109 min.

Comments about Salomon XR Mission (Women's):
I ran my first 50k trail in a brand new pair of these (yes broke runners rule, but when far from home and you forget your shoes, you do what you must). I was on a very rocky trail with steep inclines, and brutal down hills. I ran in these for 8 hours and had no problem other than a tiny blister on the side of my big toe. They handled well after going through water and also provided good stability. I LOVE that these have a wide toe box, but also hug the heel and prevent sliding. Great shoe overall! I ordered several pair to wear over the course of my training and races.

Comments about Salomon XR Mission (Women's):
I love this shoe! It was very hard to find because it was so new. Rock/Creek had one pair of 7 left and I wear a 7 1/2 typically but I was desperate to have them. I couldn't believe the fit there is no way I could have worn a 7 1/2 so the run a little big. Which was great for my situation. Rock/Creek shipping was AMAZING 2-3 days and they were on my doorstep as promised.

George Zimmerman's defense team gets Trayvon Martin's school records
Records won't be released to public, attorney Mark O'Mara says
The defense team for George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman charged with shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has received Martin's school records, but won't release it to the public, according to the defense website.
Zimmerman's attorney, former Local 6 legal analyst Mark O'Mara, writes on GZLegalCase.com that Martin's records are protected and shouldn't be part of the public record.
"A number of parties have expressed concern that we will use information found in the school records to "demonize" Trayvon Martin," O'Mara writes. "The Zimmerman defense has no intention to demonize Trayvon Martin. While we believe that George Zimmerman has been unjustly demonized as a racist and a murderer by those who saw benefit in doing so, nothing would justify a reciprocal attack on the character and memory of Trayvon Martin."
The judge ruled that the defense should have the records, even though the state objected and Martin's family's attorney, Benjamin Crump, registered a public objection. Both state and Crump argued Zimmerman didn't know MArtin before the night of the Feb. 26 shooting, so Martin's school records is "irrelevant," according to the website.
The defense does say they plan to challenge Martin's representation as the several-years-old pictures of Martin as a boy.
"We do, for instance, have an interest in presenting Trayvon Martin accurately as he appeared on the night of February 26, 2012, and that will include challenging the several-years-old photo of Trayvon Martin as a boy wearing a red shirt -- the photo that has become the popular representation of him in the minds of the public at large," O'Mara writes. "If the memory of Trayvon Martin is going to be a catalyst for a conversation about race relations in America, then we should have an honest conversation."
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense. His trial is set for the middle of 2013.

A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services program that trades green cards for large cash loans and job creation is expected to play an important role in growing the economy of the north country into the future, according to local developers.
The Employment-Based Immigration: Preference 5, or EB-5, program is designed to attract loans of $500,000 or more to rural areas or areas experiencing unemployment at least 1� times the national average.
Possible development opportunities in Northern New York are significantly enhanced by this program, said Donald C. Alexander, chief executive officer of the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, adding the region has historically had difficulty funding big projects.
According to Mr. Alexander and David L. Mosher of Mosher Business Advisors Corp., the consultant in charge of packaging the loans, there are at least a couple of proposed local projects taking advantage of the EB-5 program in the planning stages. They declined to disclose the projects details or investors names to protect the deals.
Under the stipulations of the program, which is managed by the Department of Homeland Security through Citizenship and Immigration Services, EB-5 investors must invest in a new commercial enterprise established after Nov. 29, 1990, that will create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers within two years.
Jefferson County received approval from the Department of Homeland Security to begin offering the program to potential investors in 2011.
As yet, there have been no successful takers, though in 2011 a Chinese businessman, James Ma, indicated he intended to use the program to start an English-as-a-second-language school and a Chinese restaurant in the Ogdensburg area.
Mr. Ma purchased the former Academy at Ivy Ridge campus for $1,550,000 but did not participate in the EB-5 program. His plans to start the ESL school there have since stalled, though he has said two Chinese universities are interested in partnering on the project.
The county, through Mr. Mosher, has contracted with EB-5 LLC, Buffalo, a company responsible for making presentations overseas to attract investors.
Mr. Mosher said to move forward with a project under that contract, a total of $5 million would have to be raised through the program, resulting in at least 100 jobs created or retained because it would be too expensive to try to deal with individual investors.
The Immigrant Investor program, as it is sometimes called, is a bit of a misnomer. According to Mr. Mosher and Mr. Alexander, green card applicants arent really making investments. Instead, they are making loans at a negotiated interest rate that are supposed to be paid back within five years from the projects start.
Even though the applicants are putting their money at risk, this is not an equity position, Mr. Alexander said.
The projects eventually will be returned to local interests.
Mr. Mosher said proposed EB-5 projects go through an extensive vetting process to try to ensure against failure.
Any project that passes the credit test is considered, he said.
According to Mr. Mosher, most projects will not be funded solely by the EB-5 program. Money from the program will be used to leverage additional financing from banks and other lending institutions.
You have to have a menu if youre going to run a restaurant, Mr. Alexander said. Weve added this to the menu and we think it will bear fruit.
The program has been in existence since 1990 but has greatly increased in popularity since the credit crunch of 2008. Mr. Mosher said that of the $5 billion raised in EB-5 funds throughout the country since 1990, more than $3 billion has been raised since the recession began.
According to a recent New York Times story, developers in Vermonts Northeast Kingdom are planning to raise $785 million in EB-5 funds over three rounds of financing for a series of projects in and around the Jay Peak ski resort, which is intended to become a four-season destination.
According to Mr. Mosher, the principal drawback of financing through the EB-5 program is that it can take up to a year for the government to complete investigations of green card applicants and the sources of their funds.
In areas with more than 20,000 residents and low unemployment, a minimum investment of $1 million is required to be eligible for the program.
Its hard to attract investors at that level $500,000 is a more feasible amount, Mr. Mosher said.
Resort projects are popular with immigrant investors, as are hospitals, nursing homes and manufacturing plants, Mr. Mosher said.
According to Mr. Alexander, there is also the potential to use EB-5 money to conduct leveraged buyouts to keep manufacturers local.
Even businesses established before Nov. 29, 1990, are eligible provided they are restructured in such a way that a new commercial enterprise results or a 40 percent increase in the net worth or number of employees occurs. The guidelines for the visa do not provide a definition for what new commercial enterprise means in this context.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1,000 Islands International Tourism Council, said while he has not seen the EB-5 strategy proposed yet to promote tourism, he has noticed a lot of interest from Chinese investors on the borders Canadian side.
Canada also offers an immigrant investor program through its Citizenship and Immigration Department, with an $800,000 (Canadian) buy-in. In 2012 the Canadian government announced it was reforming the program and issued a call for policy papers and suggestions. The reforms aim to move the investments from a low-risk model to one that will foster interest in more value-added infrastructure projects, do a better job of seeking out investors truly committed to Canadas success and streamline the investigation process.
According to the Canadian Citizenship and Immigration website, the program was overhauled in 1999 to address issues related to fraud and mismanagement, losses suffered by investors, and burden related to regulatory oversight.

The Yamaha AR192 weighs in with a dry weight of 2,176 lbs. (987 kgs.) which is important to note since she is one of the lightest boats in class, and lighter than some 18' (5.49 m) models. Leaning on its experience in PWC design and its larger twin engine jet boat designs, the AR192's hull is a marriage of all that the team at Yamaha has learned over the years. As far as we can tell, this is the first boat offered with a 1.8L supercharged engine. Not only does Yamaha manufacture and assemble the entire hull and deck components, they also design and build their own engines. In our opinion, this is a huge advantage from a service, reliability, and warranty point of view.
The power comes from the 1.8L, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 16 valve supercharged purpose-built Yamaha Marine engine. The 16 valves provide greater efficiency in how the engine breaths while the supercharger boosts horse power by forcing more air into the engine.
The 1812CC supercharged engine is compact and sits neatly under the center aft seat. It is easily accessed.
At the transom the deadrise is 18-degrees and because this is a jet drive power system, the draft is only 14" (0.36 m). This shallow draft is due to the fact that there is no lower unit or an outboard prop down below the bottom of the hull. This provides for excellent skinny water access.
Her beam is 8' (2.44 m) and she carries 30 gallons (114 L) of fuel. Even though this is a high performance engine, it has been optimized to run on regular 87 octane unleaded fuel. The jet drive unit consists of a three blade stainless impeller with a 14.3-degree pitch. The fold-down wakeboard tower comes in black or grey and the hull color can be Black or Space Blue.
The Yamaha AR192 has its wakeboard tow point aft of the helm position. The Bimini top stows back flush against the tower arch and the swing out wakeboard racks can be positioned at various heights.
Starting forward, Yamaha knows how much fun it is to anchor off a beach or in a quiet cove. With this in mind, the AR192 has a molded-in, self-draining anchor locker with room for line.
The anchor locker on the AR192 is positioned under a pull up step cover at the bow. There are two cleats, one to port and starboard to secure the anchor line.
The AR192 has a distinctive bow flare shape to allow for more room all the way forward.
When looking at a side view of the AR192 it is obvious that the interior width is pushed as far forward as possible, creating a distinct push out or flared look where the hull and deck meet. This was necessary to provide enough room for adults up at the bow. There is storage under the bow seating with the port side opening up into the console behind designed for large and longer items.
The sleek helm layout is a simple, uncluttered design. The throttle is well positioned and the gauges are tucked under the dash brow.
At the helm is the cruise assist which allows the throttle to be set and then increased or decreased by clicking up or down on the rocker button. There is also a three position no-wake mode, actuated via a rocker switch so idling in and out of the marinas takes just the push of a button.
The "J" shape seating starts forward on the port side and continues aft and around to starboard ending just behind the helm seat.
The AR192 has plenty of cockpit space. Notice the storage under the port side bench seat.
Portside lockable storage with 12V outlet, MP3 jack and stereo controls.
To port in the console is a storage bin which also has a 12V outlet, the MP3 jack and stereo. This is held open by a spring support. A gutter runs around the edge, to help keep things dry inside.
The above image shows an aft storage compartment just behind the helm seat which accommodates a full size cooler. The black cap to the right of the picture is the engine flush out port. Since these boats are designed for both fresh and salt water operation, Yamaha added this quick connect feature so a fresh water hose can easily be hooked up to flush out the engine cooling system without opening the engine compartment hatch.
Custom cut snap-in carpeting is standard for all Yamaha models. The AR192 has additional sole storage centered in the walk through. This is a good wet storage bin since the drain is connected to a hose that leads overboard and not into the bilge. Full marks to Yamaha for this feature!
The next area is one that we have been showing on Yamaha boats for years: the stern seating and swim area. Since the engine is so compact, it allows the designers to provide boaters more usable space at the stern.
View of the stern of the Yamaha AR192 single engine jet boat.
The stern seating has comfortable back rests with cup holders to either side and a ski point on centerline. The cleanout port for the jet drive unit is under the seat. The swim ladder is located under the swim platform and the addition of two grab handles will make reboarding easier. Below one can see the jet pump unit. There are obvious advantages for a family with small or younger kids with a jet drive boat.
The AR192 has six pop-up cleats positioned two at the bow, two mid, and two at the stern.
This nineteen-footer, from the top of her fold-down wakeboard tower to the output of her 1.8 liter supercharged engine, is one little fun machine. Heading off the dock, she was responsive. I never felt like I had to react to the maneuvering peculiarities of a jet drive as I've had to do in the past with earlier models. Sure, she's a nineteen-footer at an attractive price, so I didn't expect to be riding in the lap of luxury. But Yamaha's automated production efficiency and attention to detail has provided a feel of luxury I don't normally expect to find at the entry level in a boat that is all about watersports.
Our test boat tipped the scale at 2,776 lbs. (1,259 kg), including two of us on board. As we accelerated, the GPS struggled to keep up with us as we were on plane in 3.1 seconds and the needle hit 30 in 5.1 seconds. The hull seems to be a perfect match for Yamaha's purpose-built engine, and I understand that the hull shape is the result of a bunch of tweaking to get the shape of the entry just right. It felt good to me. Our best cruising performance was observed at 6500 rpm where we saw a speed of just under 35 mph using fuel at a rate of 12.95 gph for a range of 73 statute miles, and our top speed was 48.6 mph at wide open throttle.
An improvement I look forward to seeing from Yamaha is full fly-by-wire throttle control. Right now, the throttle lever is linked to the electronic controller by aviation-type wire linkage. Since they already have the electronics in place, it makes sense to me that they should make this change one of these days. On the other hand, one improvement they have made is very effective indeed; it's called "Thrust Directional Enhancer" and it serves to improve slow-speed handling. It sounded like a sales pitch to me, but I'm pleased to say that my skepticism was proven wrong. This is the most maneuverable jet drive boat that I have ever brought in to a dock. I'm sure a beginner could feel confident right out of the blocks.
Between her ease of maintenance, standard features, and attractive price, it's not a wonder that Yamaha seems to get more popular with boating families every year. We think this new model offers all the standard features one would expect in a larger boat, but with the twist of industry-leading engine technology. This boat comes with a painted trailer as a complete package starting at $32,999.

|I could make a meal out of this Macaroni with Greens, Lemon, and Parmesan!
And embarrassing as it is, here's the original photo of this dish from back in 2006!
Macaroni with Greens, Lemon, and Parmesan
(Makes about 4 side dish servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
2 cups (dry) Dreamfields Low-Carb Macaroni or whole wheat macaroni
1 tsp. salt for pasta cooking water
1 bunch greens such as kale, collards, mustard greens, or swiss chard (I used 8 oz. Ready-to-use Organic Mixed Baby Kale)
1 tsp. minced garlic
zest from 2 lemons
1 T lemon juice (I would freeze the extra juice to use later)
2 T olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Heat olive oil in large frying pan, add garlic and lemon zest and saute 1 minute. Add greens and saute until wilted, about 5 minutes for larger greens or 2-3 minutes for baby greens.
As soon as pasta is al dente, save 1/4 cup cooking water and then drain the pasta well and add to greens/garlic/lemon mixture, with lemon juice and reserved pasta cooking water (as needed.) Stir in Parmesan cheese and serve hot, with additional cheese to be added at the table if desired.

LISBON Patrick J. Green is challenging James W. Armstrong in this years town supervisor election.
Mr. Armstrong, a Republican, is running for his third term in office and said hes proud of the way the town is being run.
Im a conservative, and everything seems to be going at an even keel now, Mr. Armstrong said.
Mr. Armstrong pointed to the expansion of the Lisbon Beach and Campground and the towns ability to lower the tax rate in recent years as some of the standout achievements he has accomplished during the past four years he has served as supervisor.
The town tax rate fell in 2013 from $5.37 per $1,000 in property value in 2012 to $5.35.
People seem happy to come live in Lisbon, Mr. Armstrong said. I just have a vested interest in the town.
A lifelong resident of Lisbon, Mr. Armstrong said, Id like to see the town progress without encumbering any debt for the taxpayers.
Im just running on a reputation of increasing services and keeping the tax rate at a constant level, he said.
Mr. Green, also a lifelong resident of Lisbon who owns a farm on the Keystone Road, said he decided to run for town supervisor after a conversation with Mr. Armstrong.
Jim told me that if I didnt like the way things are being run, I should run for office, he said. So I thought if I was going to run for office, Id run for his.
Running as an independent, Mr. Green said he has been encouraging people to exercise their right to vote in this years election.
We ran a voter registration drive at the Livestock concert I have every year, he said. We had a float in the Lisbon (homecoming) parade urging everyone to vote. Its the only way to empower yourself.
Mr. Green, who lost a bid for town council in 2012, said the first thing he would do if elected is ensure the American flag flying over the towns World War II memorial is given the respect he feels it deserves. Mr. Green believes the flag should be treated as if it were 1943 with someone raising it every morning and lowering it every night.
Mr. Green also challenged Mr. Armstrong to a public debate – to be held sometime during October – to discuss issues related to the running of the town.
Mr. Armstrong said, I dont think thats necessary. I have almost four years of what Ive done, and Im perfectly content to run on whats transpired over the last three and a half years.
Mr. Armstrong encouraged anyone who has questions about his views or what hes done during his time as supervisor to speak with him directly.

HAMMOND Icy conditions caused a pickup truck to roll over just outside the village Tuesday morning.
State police ticketed Nathan A. Lukert, 24, of Barre, Mass., for failing to reduce speed for a special hazard.
The accident happened at 9:38 a.m.
Unsafe speed combined with snow-covered roads caused the vehicle to overturn, state police said.
State police said Mr. Lukert was traveling south on Route 37 when he lost control of the truck and rolled over before landing upright in a field.
He was transported to Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg, for lower back pain, state police said.
Maple City Auto, Ogdensburg, towed the car from the field shortly before 11 a.m.

The U.S. Postal Service's announcement today that it will discontinue Saturday mail delivery may not reduce the quantity of junk mail you receive. But it could increase late bill payments and devalue Netflix subscriptions, writes senior consumer reporter Kelli B. Grant.
Also in today's Personal Finance Daily, see Brett Arends's version of the "So God made a farmer" Super Bowl ad, learn what it takes to stay young "in deed and thought", and read about why investors should worry that corporate insiders are on a selling spree.
— Alice Hagge, staff editor
So God made a banker
God said, "I need someone who doesn't grow anything or make anything but who will borrow money from the public at 0% interest and then lend it back to the public at 2% or 5% or 10% and pay himself a bonus for doing so."
So God made a banker.
Junk mailers never liked Saturday delivery
The U.S. Postal Service's announcement Wednesday that it will discontinue Saturday mail delivery sparked outrage and concern by businesses, consumers and postal worker unions worried that the change could hurt their livelihood and convenience. But the change matters little to the companies that deluge Americans with the most mail: They never delivered on Saturday anyway.
Junk mailers never liked Saturday delivery.
How ending Saturday mail will cost consumers
If the Postal Service doesn't deliver letters on Saturdays, mailboxes nationwide get a day off from being stuffed with junk. No big deal, right? But if you pay your bills by mail or subscribe to a DVD rental service, the change could hit your wallet.

|Murder Plea Yields 14 to 17 Year Sentence
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 17 September 2012 10:00
Christopher Warren Meade was sentenced last week to a term of 14 to 17 ½ years in prison for the murder of a Seven Devils woman in late 2009. Judge Gary Gavenus presided over session as the plea of guilty was entered in the count of second degree murder
in the murder of Deana Schermerhorn, who was last seen alive at the couple's Seven Devils home November 7th of 2009. As the search mounted, Meade was nowhere to be found, but Schermerhorn's 4-year old son turned up at a family member's home as Meade fled into Mexico. Her body was found in December of 2009, buried in a shallow grave near the couple's home in Seven Devils. After the case was aired on "America's Most Wanted," calls led investigators to Mexico where the arrest was made. Meade was turned over to US authorities in McAllen, Texas, in December of 2010, and was extradited to Watauga County. Family members of Deana Schmerhorn were in court last Tuesday when the plea was entered and the sentencing handed down, according to court officials, and the court documents show they will be notified of any change in his status, but that cannot come until after the 14 years are served. Christopher Warren Meade, now 29, was given credit for the 20 months in custody against his sentence and is now in the NC prison system.

Fast Break Clinic a slam dunk
Jackrabbit Athletics partnered with Hy-Vee and Bel Brands to host the annual Hy-Vee Fast Break Clinic on Feb. 9.
Three hundred youth had the opportunity to "run with the Jackrabbits" by
participating in the annual Hy-Vee Fast Break Clinic.
Jackrabbit Athletics invited kids (K-8) from Brookings and the surrounding area to Frost Arena to learn basketball skills and techniques from the head coach Aaron Johnston, the Jackrabbit women's basketball team and the women's basketball coaching staff.
The morning involved stretches led by SDSU basketball players, station rotations that addressed shooting, rebounding, dribbling, passing and defense, a milk and cookie break and an autograph session with over one hundred SDSU student-athletes.
All children received a free t-shirt and ticket for Saturday evening's women's basketball game versus Oakland.
Thank you to all families who joined the Hy-Vee Fast Break Clinic, a Jackrabbit tradition.

You can call it the Ogdensburg version of Bostons Big Dig road construction project.
The much-delayed, federally-funded $7.5 million overhaul of the entire length of Paterson Street - from the port of Ogdensburg south to its 1100 block near Route 37 - is the biggest project ever in Ogdensburg, according to Public Works Director Kit W. Smith
Everybodys excited about this project, he said..
Work on the two-year-long project will begun in late summer/early fall now that final design plans have been approved, Mr. Smith said Friday.
Contractors will be hired by summer.
The scope of the 1.1-mile-long Paterson Street project includes the following work:
—Restoring the street surface, especially for heavy truck traffic to and from the port, and widening the existing 30-foot roadway to include two 12-foot wide travel lanes and two seven-foot-wide parking lanes.
—Separation of the streets storm sewer system from the existing combined storm/sanitary system.
—A changing lane at Paterson and Ford streets.
—New sidewalks and curbing.
—Utility poles will need to be removed and replaced.
—Trees on both sides of the street will be removed and replaced with smaller trees.
Sidewalks will still be five feet wide, but the green strip between the curb and the sidewalk will be reduced from about to six to eight feet, to four feet.
This is what makes this project so grand, Mr. Smith said.

Mark on large Chinese? bronze ox and bear sculpture
I was hoping someone could help me with this mark. I am thinking of purchasing this but it is a little outside my depth. I really just need help identifying the mark so I can further my research on the sculpture. I apologize for the lack of quality on the pictures but that is all I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the below diagram router-a is an actiontec verizon fios router and router-b is a linksys router running openwrt.
I am having some trouble setting up two different networks, my first configuration was just router-a with one pc. I then added router-b and configured the lan to exist on a separate network.
both the wan interfaces on router-a and router-b are masquerading outgoing traffic.
Initially i have no static routes configured and this what I observe:
PC-a and PC-b can both connect to the internet fine
PC-b can see PC-a.
PC-a cannot see PC-b
I believe all of this is pretty straightforward and expected.
Now what I want to do is allow PC-a to see PC-b.
Through the verizon-fios crappy web interface I added a static route,
For the network 192.168.0.0/24, the gateway is 192.168.1.2
After making this change I can ping from PC-a to PC-b but I cannot intiate an ssh connection. Using wireshark I see the packets leaving 1.50 and arriving at 0.50, 0.50 is responding but I do not see the return packets at 1.50.
Is this because the outbound packets leaving the wan port of router-b are masqueraded as 1.50 and router-a are dropping them? Any ideas for how to allow PC-a to talk to PC-b?
Code:(internet) | | router-a (1.1) router-b (1.2/0.1) | ------------- ------------- |--| wan | lan |-----| wan | lan | ------------- ------------- | | | | PC-a (1.50) PC-b(0.50)
