CHAMPION The Champion Town Council has approved a 180-day moratorium on construction of electrical transmission facilities.
Town Supervisor Terry L. Buckley said the law was enacted to give the board time to get zoning regulations in place to accommodate the proposed wind farm in Denmark.
We are not trying to stop it, but to regulate it so it doesnt affect residents in the town of Champion, the supervisor said.
He said electrical lines would pass through the town en route to a substation in Burrville.
Board members also set a public hearing for 7:15 p.m. May 7 for consideration of Local Law No. 5 of 2012, which would create a 180-day moratorium on natural gas and/or petroleum extraction activities.
The board wants the moratorium to give it and the Planning Board time to study the issues and develop regulations if needed.
Mr. Buckley said these types of extraction activities are occurring all over the state and the town has occurrences of the type of shale in which natural gas may be found.
At its April meeting, the board also amended the towns water use laws concerning water connections, disconnections and penalties.
Mr. Buckley said the law was enacted to tighten up the use law to avoid cross connections. He said that could involve two residents connecting to the same line or going from a well into the system, which could cause contamination.
The amendment states no permit for construction of any structure within a water district will be issued unless proof is provided that a provision has been made for connection to the public water supply.
The law also specifies no one can disconnect from the water service without permission and if a party disconnects in an unauthorized manner, the person will be charged for water usage at a rate three times the previous six months average of use.
After an improper disconnection from the water system, a town-authorized contractor would have to reconnect service at the property owners expense.

Al-Qaida calls on Ahmadinejad to end 9/11 conspiracy theories

Al-Qaida has sent a message to the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking him to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks.
Iranian media on Wednesday reported quotes from what appears to be an article published in the latest issue of the al-Qaida English language magazine, Inspire, which described Ahmadinejad's remarks over the 11 September attacks as "ridiculous".
In his UN general assembly speech last week, Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the official version of the 2001 attacks.

With a driving funk theme and blood-dripping title graphic, Khoon Khoon's opening credits clearly announce that the film's director, Bollywood B movie maestro Mohammed Hussain, has changed with the times, moving on from the gee-whiz swashbuckling thrills of sixties efforts like Faulad, Aaya Toofan and Shikari to lurid subject matter much more in tune with the tenor of the seventies' less restrained Indian cinema. What's still intact, however, is Hussain's tendency to hew very closely to Hollywood models in the crafting of his films. This is the man, after all, who helmed one of Bollywood's earliest adaptations of Superman, and who based his successful Dara Singh vehicle, the aforementioned Aaya Toofan, on Nathan Juran's "Harryhausen" pastiche, Jack the Giant Killer.

Kaala Sona
Kaala Sona is another example of the Basmati — or "Curry" — Western, that Bollywood take on the Western that seems to draw more on the European model than the American for its inspiration. Of course, the Amitabh Bachchan classic Sholay, released at roughly the same time, is considered the gold standard of that genre, and Kaala Sona follows along much the same pattern. Like Sholay, for instance, it's a Western in feel rather than period, setting its action in the present day while taking advantage of some of the still relatively untamed regions lying within India's borders. Such an approach allows both films to highlight a favorite Bollywood theme: the urbanized ne'er-do-well who, in being called upon to defend a rural community from a destructive outside force, has his soul awakened to the simple and essential virtues embodied by that community. (In more recent films, that urbanized ne'er-do-well tends to be, more specifically, a Westernized product of the Diaspora, but same idea.)

Job rate dropped dramatically on same backup job config but on virtual machine.
To all,
I have BE 2010 R2. On a phyiscal old file server, the backup job rate is 1804MB/min for 660GB in backup size. The job takes 7 to 8 hours to complete to tapes. It's acceptable to us. I then created a new virtual machine on VMware as our new file server and installed the backup agent in OS. I copied the files over to the new server, less than 400GB, however, same backup job to tape, it takes about 12 hours at a job rate of 560 MB/min.
Looks like the backup job on VM runs slower than on physical server. Is it normal? Anything I need to tweak on the backup job.
Please advise
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Try to check the NIC settings available on the VM if backing up using RAWS. The backup could be slower but better to deploy a new VM and test with that as well.
The VM can also be backed up via AVVI option using the SAN mode if it is supported in your environment. BE has an option of file folder GRT so if you backup the VM i.e. vmdk we would still be able to show you the entire VMDK (VM) in the restore along with files and folder in the drive.
Thanks for your replies.
I first used remote agent to back up my file server and the rate was 560 MB/min. As pkh has recommended, then I used AVVI to back up, but not much improvement and it was still at below 600 MB/min.
I will try the SAN mode as Gurvinder recommended. WIll keep posted.

Instead, Ms. Wisbon is running against Cindy Baum for the Democratic nomination for treasurer in Erie Township.
Jan Jay on ballot
Jan Jay is unopposed on the Republican ticket in his bid for Monroe County sheriff on Tuesday's primary election ballot. The three Democrats running are Tom Redmond, Dale Malone and Charles Harrington. The winner of the Democratic nomation will face Mr. Jay on the November ballot.
Candidate profiles
Complete candidate profiles for the following two candidates were not included in the July 21 section. Here is new information:

This election cycle, we are running as the"Together We Did" team to continue the progress we achieved in the past 4 years and continue to achieve greater results. For every tax dollar that residents pay in property taxes, 17 cents is used by the Township the balance is transferred to Schools, Wayne County. We will continue to seek nontraditional means to reduce expenditures without reducing services. We achieved "maximum bang for our constituents' tax dollar" through fiscal responsibility.

I remain committed to using tax dollars prudently, improving roads and ensuring a safe commnity by supporting the volunteer fire department.
Steiner's statement
Rick Steiner is a Republican candidate for Bedford Township trustee. His campaign statement was inadvertantly left out of the special section published July 21.
Campaign statement:
I am running for the trustee position to continue my dedication to serving our citizens and improving the quality of Bedford Township. Decisions must be made for the entire community based on the overall impact to the community.
During the decision-making process, factors including — but not limited to — the following should be used to determine the best approach for Bedford: Fiscal responsibility, tax implications, general fund expenses, revenues, long-term growth and development, environmental impact, infrastructure, fire and law enforcement requirements, etc. These items should be fully transparent to the community during the process.
One of my goals is to work with board members to run township government like a business that has fiduciary responsibility, profit and loss statements, full disclosure, shareholders (the taxpayer), and pays dividends (benefits and services).
I am committed to town hall meetings keeping our citizens informed of issues and events that will affect Bedford.

Tony Wildman and Mad turbo werks::::
First of all the reason for this post is info, and the results so far, I'm sure as the other great tuners get to know these turbos they too will get it down. I can't ignor that fact that Tony has gotten the tune just about perfect on the MAD turbo werks turbos. I'm not saying the other tuners can't get it but, and I'm sure they will get it.
Ok with that said TONY WILDMAN which is not one of the big custom tuners known for the 6.0 powerstroke as gotten the tuning down to just about a perfect to getting the turbos to work and I mean nasty work, not just on stage 1, but stage 2 and stage 3. It is actually night and day differance, in performance. The other tuners may get better gas mileage but we will see as time goes on.Hybrid turbo when finished will be next to see his tune and I'm sure it will have same reaction.
Here's what some of the things I have heard from the guys running his tune, and I hope they get on this thread and talk about it some more. Matt running stage 1 with a batmowheel as said that the response is so wicked and spool so fast that he can drive his truck like it's on ice. He can make back end of truck side out at will, and lag is same as a gas truck. The turbo combo with tune and stock injectors is nuts, and just plain crazy(I perfer MAD).
Nate and stage 3 has told me that the big turbo spools as fast as stock turbo with a tune, and is a real hand full to drive on the street, It drives like a truck with over 600rwhp. Egts are very good also, I will like to get with Tony to see abou a tow tune with this stage 3, the spool and response wiuld be great for a towing. So yes I think that a stage 3 is capable of towing with Tony's tune, and give huge power. Remember Nate is running 190/100 and told me it is alittle light brown haze, so yes stage 3 will clean 190/100 injectors.
I actually I'm very happy that Tony is the tuner that has done it so far, since it par for the course, I was not someone that anyone would have picked and who would have thought that someone like me would be able to build such MAD 6.0 turbo(meaning a aircraft mechanic? and long time gearhead? NO WAY) and now a tuner that was known as a great 7.3 tuner not a 6.0 comes out of no where and hits a home run. Not even with a live tun just through email. Can there be more MADDNESS on this whole thing?
I'm loving it big time and I'm just glad to be part of this, But I could have not have done it without the support of the members on here and the guys that gave me a chance, for that I thank everyone.

Freaking awesome!! I can't wait for my turbo to take a crap!!
Well as Adrian has alluded to and as I have said in my "600hp Build Summary" thread, Tony Wildman's tunes are the best running email tunes that I have been able to load up. It took 5 revisions of the original tune to get it to where the truck would have a nice smooth pedal and not be either a dog, that would cause you to have to floor the pedal to get the truck to move; or a rocket, where as soon as you just touched the pedal (i.e. 8% of accelerator pedal position [APP]) the truck acts like it wants to start peeling out and burning the tires off. This tune has a very nice quick and linear build up of boost. With less than a quarter throttle (~22% APP) I am getting 9-10psi of boost and the truck takes off NICE and strong (faster than most sedans take off around you and in 7200-7500lbs of vehicle). I may see he can take just a pinch more pedal out of the tune so I can get it right at 11psi at this throttle position, as this would allow one to take off even faster; but the downside with doing this is when you need to only use 4-5% pedal to cruise at 45mph, the truck may start loping because it cant figure out if it should idle or go. This tune is also considered a "Mild" tune by Tony, so he is confident that there is even more power to be had. As Adrian said in his post, romping on the throttle in 5th gear, produces a nice dark puff of smoke (hence the 190/100s with a mild FICM tune) for the half second it takes for the turbo to light and throw you back in the seat and off you go with just a haze comparable to a heavy performance tune with stock injectors and stock turbo.
This is MOST encouraging as the email tune is very good and will at least do until I can get a live tune on it.
I should add that I think a ported intake manifold would make a WORLD of difference in spool up with this charger to help it be a towing monster and I plan to get one but I really want to see what I can get with just tuning for now.

Contact info for Tony his web site at::: total diesel performance.com
Subscribing to keep in the loop on how Tony's files go with these turbos.
Glad y'all put a name and contact info with the results listed.
I'm close to selling my ol' gnarley harley just to get one of these turbos!
Thanks for sharing, as luck would have it I am about 3 hours away from this shop....
I'll tell ya. Tony has been spot on for customer service too. He would send me a tune in the evening, I would run the tune the next day and tell him how everything went then he would send another revision to try that evening. I dont think one can ask for much more than that.
I am running out for a milk shake and to find a cummins or two to walk, but I got my tune from Tony, a few days a go and Shew.... it is night and day difference compared to my IDP stock turbo tune(x race). alotta fuel coming through the stock stix. I'd like to work on some of the shifting (shift points and firmness). But I like it a lot, so with some minor tweaking its gonna be completely bad a$$. I'll report back after milk shake. LOL I'll try to get a kill video, even if its another 6.0. sorry Adrian lol
Just make sure if it's a 6.0 that it's at least tuned.

One of our staff described the Big Sur Bars as a, "dense brick of tasty calories." These 5 ounce bars boast over 600 calories each. The ingredient lists for the three flavors look like a cookie recipe, and indeed, the Big Sur Bars are huge baked cookies with fun, crunchy ingredients piled on top. They are fresh baked and last about two weeks. If you can wait longer to consume these delicious bars, store them in a freezer. Our staff loved the three flavors - Blind Date, Original and White Zest - and said one bar kept them powered for hours.
Nothing passes Ryan's test unless it remains chewable when frozen. So, Ryan put a Blind Date in a 15 deg F hotel freezer (don't take that one out of context) for 24 hours and it emerged chewable and tasty.
Big Sur Bars are available online at http://bigsurbar.com for $2.65 - $2.75 per bar.

As it turns out, a box of Big Sur bars arrived today. I ordered the (modestly) discounted sampler: 8 bars of each flavor. I've had them all before, and they're all great, though I give the edge to the White Zest.

The Big Sur Bars are rather bulky and heavy at first glance. I have taken to making them my main food source for a day on the trail. I have pretty much done away with GORP as the Big Sur Bar does fine, broken in half mid morning and mid afternoon.

OK, since we are considering highly dense nutritious and TASTY food bars, I thought I would add one that I discovered at the local Trader Joe's. It is the "Organic" food bar. (It can also be ordered on line at http://www.organicfoodbar.com/usa/about.html)

I have found that if you purchase large quanties of BS and freeze them the taste will change. (I purchased two dozen BS bars, double wrapped a dozed in freezer bags and stored them in a freezer for three months.) The taste of the BS was definitely different compared to the non-frozen bars. Suggestion: Purchase small quanties and use them rather than storing them.

The Magazine
Dynasty on the Hill
Two generations of Dingells is more than enough.
Mar 10, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 25 • By MICHAEL WARREN
The 1995 Republican takeover of the House ended Dingell's chairmanship, leading many to speculate he would retire. He held on instead and that same year became the dean of the House, a symbolic position reserved for the most senior member, a sort of parting gift at the end of a career. But when Democrats finally won back the House in 2006, Dingell took the helm at Energy and Commerce once more.
Big John's second reign was brief. In 2009, California rival Henry Waxman successfully challenged him for the chairmanship. At that point, what was left but a place in the record books? Last year, he surpassed the late Robert Byrd of West Virginia for the longest congressional tenure in history.
Dingell stuck around long enough to be remembered not as a partisan attack dog but as Congress's conscience, protector of the traditions and sensibilities of the people's house. Yet in these terribly partisan times, the burden of holding the moral high ground has become too much. Which is why his wife, the 60-year-old former auto industry lobbyist Debbie Dingell, has announced she'll be running for her husband's (and father-in-law's) seat. The Dingells, a Washington institution, live on.

I really like the jingly things at the beginning. The synth playing the chords sounds real nice. The drums work well with the track. I'm not an expert on rap, so I don't know how to critique your rapping. I can say it's definitely NOT buried. Good mixing. By "A Horse With No Name" do you mean the song by America? I never heard it; I just googled it and it came up. Might be interesting to listen to. Nice work - cheers!
Thanks for checking this out!
I'm glad you like the production. And about the rapping, I agree with others, that I could use work. So I went ahead and re-recorded this (and the rest of my songs). I'll be re-uploading them over the weekend, for sure. I find them to be an improvement. And yes, that's the song I was referring to. I thought it was a good song, and I liked the lyrics, so I kinda used some lines in my verse. It's a nice song, I think you might like it.
Thanks for the review!

Cool. I like the laid back style of your voice, but you almost sound like you're holding back or changing your voice or something. I can clearly hear everything you say so don't get me wrong when I tell you to speak UP! Your flow is nice I just need to hear that ENERGY!
Thank you for your review!
It's funny that you say that. On another song, a reviewer mentioned that there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm in my vocals, so while recording this song, I tried to give my vocals a little more 'umph'... But I guess I really didn't do much, huh? =\... Are the vocals not good enough the way they are? Would more energy take away that "laid back" feel? (If you can answer, I'd be grateful, but you don't got to if you don't want to).
However, I can assure you that I don't change my voice when I record, and I don't hold back, either (at least, it doesn't sound/feel that way to me).
I appreciate you taking the time to review, and I'll try my best to bring in more energy on my next song. Thanks!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
What a quandry. I love the track, and your vocals are even okay, but the actual recording quality of your vocals is just, not great at all. I don't know what you're using to record those lyrics of yours, but it sounds pretty sub-par. Which is just a damn shame, because other than that, I love this song. Even with the lackluster vocal quality, I would suggest turning up the vocal track anyways, it's drowned out by the instrumental.
Thank you for giving this a listen, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
I'm sorry the vocal quality didn't sit well with you. I've always been satisfied with my microphone, and to me, the recording quality has always been good (or at the very least, acceptable), so I'm not sure how to respond =\. Still, I appreciate you bringing it to my attention, and I do want to improve, so I will see what I can do to better the vocal quality.
I'm glad you were at least able to enjoy the instrumental, so that's something! =)
Thanks again, Dosko, for your review. I really appreciate it.

2015 marks the 70th anniversary of Austin Organic Gardeners! Since 1945, our members have shared information about successfully raising vegetables and ornamentals without using harsh fertilizers that harm the soil and toxic pesticides that disturb the ecological balance. Monthly meetings are held the second Monday of each month (except December) at the Zilker Botanical Gardens at 6:30 P.M.
The club's philosophy is that human and animal health depends on the health of the soil that produces their food. Healthy soil, which is rich in organic matter, abounds with organisms that convert minerals in the soil into forms plants can use. The well-nourished plants growing in these soils are better able to defend themselves against attacks from insects, diseases, and other pests.
Please join us for our October meeting when John Dromgoole will discuss sacred spaces in the garden

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- It's almost May, and that means prom season is upon us. Stores are lining their windows with dresses and tuxes, and the money families are spending on the event are higher than ever.
A new study done by Visa asked one thousand families how much they expected to spend on prom this year. The results were that on average, each family expected to spend more than eleven hundred dollars. For those on a budget, that number can seem very high for a one day event, but there are ways to have a special prom for less.
One way is to start with a simple dress, inexpensive dress and accessorize.
"Belts are extremely popular this year," says Molly Henry-Lincoln, a consultant at The Henry's Bridal Boutique in Bangor. "Earrings, bracelets, anything like that. Flowers are very big. Feathers are very big, so adding those to your hair, adding them to the dress, just great ways to help you save a little bit of money, but still walk out in pizzazz."
Another option is to shop at less conventional locations, like second hand stores or Goodwill.
"Go look at the regular retailers, see what their prices are, see what they have to offer," says Shirley Hall, manager of the Bangor Goodwill. "Get an idea of what you want, then come in here and see if we actually have something that matches what you would like to have."
If you don't want to budge on the dress price, there are other ways to save on prom spending:
1. Borrow accessories and jewelry from your friends. The accessories will be new to you, and you won't have to spend a dime.
2. Throw a pre-prom hair and nails party. Get ready together with your friends instead of spending big bucks at a salon.
3. Make dinner a potluck. You'll get to fill up on whatever you want and skip the big restaurant tab.
4. Grow your own flowers. Boutonnieres and corsages get expensive, but if you can make your own then you will have a beautiful accessories for the cost of a few seeds.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen
A Modest Proposal in Defense of Free Speech
March 25, 2011
On December 12, 2010, a suicide bombing was committed in central Stockholm by an Islamic terrorist who denounced the Swedish government for its "foolish support for the pig Vilks." Vilks was the conceptual artist who had, in 2007, depicted the Prophet Muhammad as a "roundabout dog," familiar to tourists as a street display in Sweden.
Is the Die Already Cast on Obama's Afghanistan Decision?
October 23, 2009
The NYT reports on the NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels, which featured a surprise appearance by General McChrystal: "What we did today was to discuss General McChrystal's overall assessment, his overall approach, and I have noted a broad support from all ministers of this overall counterinsurgency approach," said NATO's secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Although the broad acceptance by NATO defense ministers of General McChrystal's strategic review included no decision on new troops, it was another in a series of judgments that success there cannot be achieved by a narrower

1968-03-30 Hiroshi Kobayashi drew 15 Rene Barrientos, Martial Arts Hall, Tokyo, Japan - WBA/WBC
1968-03-30 Hiroshi Kobayashi drew 15 Rene Barrientos, Martial Arts Hall, Tokyo, Japan - WBA/WBC. Referee: Ko Toyama. Scorecards: 71-73, 71-71, 72-72. Making a slow start, the champion found the tricky southpaw, Barrientos (130), a difficult customer to deal with and fought well below par. Although he battered Barrientos throughout the fifth round having finally got going, Kobayashi (129) was made angry when his nose bled badly after he was butted. It was becoming a hard fight for Kobayashi and Barrientos amazed the crowd when he belted the champion in the ninth with wild blows to head and body. In the 14th the Filipino again came on strong, forcing Kobayashi to back-pedal furiously to avoid the body punches coming his way. The decision was always going to be in doubt and it certainly was not one of Kobayashi's better nights.

An analysis for September 2010 by Foreclosure-Response.org puts the Barnstable Town Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) smack in the middle of MSA's nationwide when it comes to foreclosure rates. The Barnstable MSA ranks 193 out of 366 across the country based on both its prime (3.9 percent) and sub-prime (20.1) foreclosure rates.
For the same period, the Barnstable MSA's serious delinquency rate, which includes properties in foreclosure or more than 90 days behind on payments, was 7.4 percent, which ranks it at 199.
For its prime borrower foreclosure rate, the Barnstable Town MSA ranks 171. Its sub-prime foreclosure rank is in the top third of the country, at number 106.
Of the top 20 MSA's for sub-prime foreclosure rates, 14 are in Florida with the remainder in New Jersey, according to information available from the website.
Mortgages in the foreclosure inventory used to calculate the foreclosure rate include those in foreclosure, and bankruptcy foreclosures prior to auction or trustee sale.

text: Hell is other people: Existentialism on the Tube Wired Blog 25 June 09 by Josie Allchin http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabiovenni/65870701/Flickr CC: fabbio In an attempt to brighten the lives of travellers using the London Underground, service announcements on the Piccadilly Line will soon include quotes from some of the world's greatest thinkers. As well as the poems that already adorn the carriages, passengers can now look forward to mulling over the philosophical musings of Einstein, Ghandi and Jean-Paul Sartre. But hang on. I'm not sure how well quotes from Sartre – the existential philosopher who often focused on the absurdity, meaninglessness, despair and angst found in everyday life – would go down with passengers on the Monday morning commute. Or perhaps they'll go down all too well:"Hell is other people.""Life begins on the other side of despair.""If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.""One cannot become a saint when one works 16 hours a day.""Life has no meaning the moment you loose the illusion of being eternal.""All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure.""Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.""God is absence. God is the solitude of man.""Everything has been figured out, except how to live.""Delays are occurring on the Northern Line due to a signal failure at Kennington.*"*Not really.

The Journal of Scientific and Mathematical Research publishes original research and reviews in the widest range of fields. The Journal seeks to unify all branches of scientific and mathematical inquiry by publishing the highest quality, peer-reviewed research in a very broad range of topics of current interest.
Manuscript submissions to the Journal of Scientific and Mathematical Research are posted immediately and peer-reviewed by the open scientific community, rather than by 2 or 3 people in a blind peer-review process. Reviews are therefore rigorous yet unbiased. The open (not anonymous) refereeing of manuscripts eliminates spurious or biased rejection of manuscripts by overworked or competing referees. Referees are required to post a clear justification of any rejections by openly citing errors relative to a list of errors.
As an open-access journal, the Journal of Scientific and Mathematical Research gives full access to peer-reviewed scholarly research to anyone with internet access. The Journal boasts the largest referee pool available, and all referees are self-selected based on their own interests and search patterns. Any researcher with a terminal degree in a relevant technical field or with previously published research may volunteer as a referee and accept manuscripts for publication during the review process. Rejection of manuscripts, however, may be done by anyone holding a bachelors degree, or its equivalent, in a relevant technical field.
Anyone may view articles and submit manuscripts for publication.

Hello everyone!
Well I said I'd be laying low this weekend, but that doesn't mean there's not a TON of errands and chores to do! As I was laying in bed this morning, everything I wanted to accomplish was swirling around in my head, so I got up and made a list. My weekend warrior list!
I am SUCH a list person. I need to visually see what I have to accomplish and then cheer as I cross each item off. Do you like lists? I'm doing pretty good on mine so far. Vacuuming/mopping: check. Laundry: check (still have to fold – rats!) Run: check.
I could gush for HOURS about how sweet my run was. The sky was cloudless, there was a perfect whisper of a cool breeze and I even got some wild life sightings in – rabbits, blue jays and cardinals! I took the 3.75 miles slow – it was actually more of a rog (run/jog). I've kind of been a slug about running the past couple of weeks, so I wanted to take this one easy. It was dynamite. :D
After I got home and showered up, I made the breakfast I dreamed up in my head while I was running – Apple Banana Oatmeal!
Oh yes! In the mix:
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 banana
- 1/2 Tablespoon chia seeds
- splash of vanilla, dash of cinnamon
- 1 recipe stewed apple
- sliced almonds
- almond butter
What a list!
Microwave oats, water & banana for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave for another 1.5 minutes. Stir in chia seeds, vanilla & cinnamon. Top with stewed apples, almonds & almond butter – then devour!
Here's how I make my stewed apples: Peel and chop one apple. Combine with 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar (or honey, or brown sugar), 1 Tablespoon water, dash of vanilla & cinnamon. Microwave for 1.5 minutes. Done!
Oh, creamy bowl of oatmeal – I love you so!!! This was a wonderfully sweet breakfast, which is just what I like. Do you prefer sweet or savory breakfasts?
I debated on the almond butter, but decided it was clearly necessary to have with banana oatmeal. :D
Oof, I am stuffed! That was a BIG bowl of oatmeal – maybe the best tasting one I've had in months, too! ;)
If you read my list, you'll notice that I have date night penciled in. I think we're going to grill out for dinner, as it would be a crime not to in this perfectly charming weather, then head to a movie – Date Night. No, that's the name of the movie – Date Night – with Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I LOVE THOSE TWO!
Hope your Saturday is sunny and productive too! Or, cloudy and lazy, if that's what you prefer. ;)
See ya'!
What does your ideal Saturday look like?

Heinemann, 355 pp, £20.00, May 2003, ISBN 0 434 00787 0
Antonio Damasio's two previous books, Descartes's Error and The Feeling of What Happens, appealed not only to scientists. The citations, prizes and honours, not to mention the author's photograph, reveal that Damasio, one of the world's leading neuroscientists, is also a person of deep sensitivity and broad cosmopolitan culture.

Second copyright lawsuit news of the day: Ellen!
Right on the heels of Ellen being named as the replacement judge for Paula Abdul on American Idol comes this news: she's being sued by various record companies. You know the segment at the start of the show where Ellen dances onstage and often in the audience? Yup, it looks like she's been playing those songs illegally (over 1000 times), and the record companies don't like it.
What's interesting is that the spokesman for TelePictures (they produce Ellen's show) says they've been trying to work with the record companies for months to get a resolution to the issue.
There's no amount of money mentioned, but I'm guessing it's a gazillion dollars, since the music includes songs by Michael Jackson, Will Smith, The Beach Boys, and ... well, jeez, everybody. I mean, have you seen her show? She plays a ton of popular, well-known songs. Click the link above and read the list of record companies that are suing.
Maybe Ellen took the Idol gig because she knew she was going to need some extra cash.

TGIF... I guess
Today is probably the outfit that pushed me the farthest... which is kind of hilarious, since I didn't get a chance to see myself in a full length mirror before shopping on my coffee break, and my first thought was "that looks so boring!". Despite believing myself to be a safe, humdrum dresser, I suppose I had an unconscious addiction to colour! However, the point of the outfit was to play with the "Is it Navy? Is it Black?" question that has been plaguing me all week. Not being one to mix black and navy, I decided to heed the advice of Kasmira: mixing black and navy can be done, but it must look intentional.
I'm wearing the skirt from Monday, the shirt from Monday, and Thursday, the shoes from Monday, and the belt from Monday and Wednesday. While it doesn't a) stand out or b) really make all that much sense with the outfit, I'm wearing my Grandmother's cookoo clock necklace becuase, well, I love it. I've hit my 10 clothing items and my 5 accessories for the week!
Hopefully I'll have time to do a rundown of the whole thing tomorrow, however, I don't even know when I'll have time to take a picture and post it for today!
(Oh, and todays tights are navy, even if they don't look like it in the picture)

Critics who believe Cricket Australia has a fast bowler rotation policy are naive and so far off the mark it's frightening, coach Mickey Arthur says.
Arthur says he's "sick and tired" of misinformation that Australia has a pace bowling rotation policy and angry at suggestions that sports scientists are picking the team.
"It's either very naive or just a little bit stubborn that people don't understand what we're doing," Arthur said on Sunday night.
"The example I have used is Black Caviar, when he goes and runs a horse race, if they don't feel he's 100 per cent right, they don't release it.
"We have done that with our bowlers."
Arthur said only three times had fast bowlers been rested from playing - Ryan Harris in the West Indies last year, Peter Siddle against South Africa in Perth, and Mitchell Starc against Sri Lanka in the Boxing Day Test.
"We want to play our guys all the time, with the amount of cricket we play these days it's impossible to keep the guys on the park every single game," he said.
"The constant thought that sports scientists are picking the team is so far way off the mark it's frightening.
"They give us information, the information is then left up to us to make that decision.
"When we get that information we will see if that information holds up and if we think that it's not worth the risk - we have thought in three instances where it hasn't been worth the risk.
"Whenever we make those decisions, we make those decisions with a lot of thought into how we are going to use that quick bowler and when we are going to use that quick bowler.
"I really wanted to put that on record because I'm sick and tired of talking about it.
"And I'm certainly sick and tired of seeing some of the articles that are going around in the media at the moment."

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|April 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Patients' perceptions of their medical care are of increasing importance to educators, researchers, and clinicians. The emphasis on patient experience and satisfaction is consistent with the trend towards holding health care professionals accountable to their consumers. Our understanding and advancement of patients' experience and satisfaction with care forms a pivotal role in ensuring individuals engage with healthcare services, adhere to therapies, and maintain ongoing relationships with providers. Experiences are best explored using interview techniques such as phenomenological interviewing. In our study we propose to use a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Phenomenology is a way of qualitatively exploring a person's experience and their personal meanings from those experiences. It is an approach that considers the structure of a person's subjective experience and explores areas that might be hidden. A phenomenological approach looks for patterns that are shared by particular instances or experiences. The evaluation of patient satisfaction and experience is based on valuing patients' subjective perception of an experience. In our study, a phenomenological approach will generate a comprehensive description of a phenomenon or lived experience (i.e. stay in the Critical Care Unit). We will interview a sample of patients to explore experiences and to gain their meanings of their stay in critical care. This will hopefully lead to thinking around ways of improving patient experiences, satisfaction and care.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | September 8, 2010
Maryland Fishing Challenge Featuring Diamond Jim
September 7 marked the quiet beginning of the 2011 Maryland Fishing Challenge as the 2010 tournament ended officially at midnight on the 6th. The fishing challenge is open to all who fish recreationally in Maryland, making this the largest fishing tournament in the world.
All an angler needs to do to advance in the celebration is to:
- Catch a citation award sized fish. Check out the list of 64 eligible species and minimum award sizes here www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/no_page.asp?page=/fisheries/recreational/tournament/sizerequirements.html.
- As a youth under the age of 16, win or be selected to advance at one of many official youth fishing rodeos around the state http://dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/news/story.asp?story_id=11
- Or catch a specially-tagged striped bass as part of the Diamond Jim component of the Fishing Challenge. Each month from June through August, hundreds of striped bass will be caught, tagged and released into the Chesapeake Bay. Each of these tagged fish will be worth at least $500 to the angler. Each month, one of these fish will be a Diamond Jim worth between $10,000 and $25,000.
Go here for the rules www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/challenge/index.asp.
Fishing in Maryland Expo and the Maryland Seafood Festival
The first Fishing in Maryland Expo in conjunction with the Maryland Seafood Festival begins this Friday, September 10 at Sandy Point State Park anchored by the world famous Crab Soup Cook-off and the Maryland Fishing Challenge Grand Awards Celebration. DNR Fisheries will also have a booth inside the Fishing in Maryland Tent along with some of the state's great supporting fishing organizations, Bass Pro Shops, Tracker Marine, World Fishing Network, Angler's Sport Center, Kent Island Kayaks, Bill's Outdoor Center, and other conservation organizations. The Fishing Challenge action opens at 11:00 with the grand prize drawings followed by the crab soup cook-off.
Come join us for this, the start of something big http://mdseafoodfestival.com.
Fishing Action around the State
Tidal Bass
Roger Tregeser, President of the Maryland Bass Federation Nation, reports that largemouth bass fishing in the Nanticoke River and it tributaries seems to be controlled by tidal flow and height. As the outgoing tide slows, the fishing picks up in hot spots such as the Marshy Hope River on the edges where the fish hang around fallen trees and other shoreline structure. "In a small window of three hours we were plucking fish regularly, but it shut off when the tide turned to flood," he says. The B.A.S.S. Mid-Atlantic Divisional Tournament begins this week launching from Phillips Landing just over the Maryland/Delaware line. Anglers from around the world have come to test their skills including several anglers from Zimbabwe. Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Marine is supplying six Bass Tracker fishing boats for the Zimbabweans.
The word from anglers who frequent Middle River, Gunpowder, and Upper Bay waters is that largemouth action continues to be tepid. Branson Williams, a DNR environmental specialist focusing on largemouth bass, catfish, and snakeheads says the bass tend to stick to deeper water with the heat and move up into the grass beds on cooler mornings where the shallow water holds food and comfort. Williams and DNR Tidal Fish Manager Joe Love suspect the heat and lack of rain to be primary factors in making the fish sluggish. Without rain, saltwater wedges will move into freshwater bass-holding areas causing the fish to move upstream and sulk. The action will improve with cooler weather. Continue to fish early when the air is cool to find bass in the shallows. The fish will be feeding along the edges defined by structure such as root wads, snag habitat, piers, and blow-overs where the forage fish hide.
As usual, the Potomac continues to provide good fishing. It seems that you can always catch a bass in the Nation's River.
According to Love, an attractive feature of the Potomac and Upper Bay rivers and creeks is that there are robust grass beds in the middle of the streams holding predators and prey. The midstream grass makes the fishing interesting, a bit more complex, and often quite good in spite of warm water and tides.
"This the time of year when salt water tends to creep up the Bay and effect the fishing, moving the bass up into fresher, cooler water. Look for the grass in deeper water to change your luck," advises Love.
Meanwhile, in an effort to improve fishing in the Choptank River, DNR retrieved over 70 plump juvenile largemouth bass from a storm water management pond near Denton and relocated them to the river. This project is part of a joint venture between DNR and the State Highway Administration to plant larval fish in such ponds and introduce them to the river when they are large enough to survive and grow to provide good sport for anglers.
DNR Inland Fisheries Southern Region Manager Mary Groves reports that the Triadelphia Reservoir is pretty low right nowdown three to four feet. Without rain, the reservoir can drop as much as a foot a week. The impact to anglers is they will not be able to launch boats as the ramps become exposed. Much of the shallow fish habitat is already above water, making fishing more difficult. Call the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission at 301-774-9124 or 301-206-8861 or go online for access information at www.wsscwater.com/home/jsp/content/watershed.faces.
Groves also reports that the DNR annual Tidal Bass Surveys in the Potomac and Upper Bay will begin next week, running for about six weeks.
Chesapeake Bay
I will testify that the top-water striped bass and bluefish action was enfuego over the Labor Day weekend on Saturday and Sunday with these signature Chesapeake Bay species competing for more than their share of the bay anchovy smorgasboard east of the Hill, Bloody Point, and along the rocky edges of Poplar Island. Then on Labor Day, it was all but over. Maybe the fish were full.
While they were eating, they would go for anything including threadbare bucktail jigs, dented silver spoons, chipped Chug Bugs, Stingsilvers, Crippled Herrings, and in the case of the snapper blues, anything made of soft plastic and the very tip of an index finger.
This has been the building story all summer as several schools of striped bass have made Eastern Bay theirs. The bluefish and even some Spanish mackerel are recent additions to the party as the cool evening winds mark the end of summer. The best window of opportunity has been the closing of the day as the sun grows large and orange on its way to the horizon. In those last precious moments of the day, the fishing becomes legendary, and then as quickly as it begins, it ends in time to save your marriage. If your boat is quick and you don't dally, you'll be home before the rest of the family is in bed. If you take them along in the first place with a bucket of fried chicken, you'll be a hero.
Further up the Bay, reknowned light tackle guru Richard Borneman in Havre de Grace reports that everyone's crabbing. "There's more crabs than anyone seen in years," he says. "Local crabbers are loving life and the locals are catching crabs right off the town bulkhead."
Borneman adds that the smallmouth bass fishing has been good in the Susquehanna River using top-water lures such as the classic Heddon Tiny Torpedo or small crank baits and rubber worms. There are some white perch and yellow perch in the grass beds on the Flats, but it's been too hot for great fishing. "It'll kick in as things get cooler," he says.
DNR Eastern Regional Inland Fisheries biologist, Brett Coakley notes that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Maryland Department of the Environment have lifted the water contact advisory issued on August 5 for Smithville Lake in Caroline County. Current water samples indicated only slight levels of the potentially harmful algae, which prompted the original advisory. Such algal blooms are normally short lived in such ponds and are a function of hot weather and dry conditions.
"This time of year, the algae begin to dissipate and the fishing improves," says Coakley. "It would be better with some rain, but we can expect fishing activity to pick up in the ponds as everyone settles in to school schedules and the weather cools."
DNR Fisheries Service Western Regional Manager Al Klotz reports that Garrett and Allegheny County stream flows are at historic lows. Fishing smaller streams can be difficult at best. Tailwater streams such as the Savage River Trophy Trout area and the North Branch of the Potomac downstream of Jennings Randolph Lake continue to provide excellent fishing. The Savage River tailwater is fishing particularly well right now with wild brown and brook trout waiting in the current seams to straighten out your leaders. Klotz enthusiastically recommends that September anglers carry flying ant imitations as swarms of the ants are blowing around. The trout love them and eat them like Cheerios.
Klotz also provides a Deep Creek Lake fish kill update. DNR's most recent survey indicated that the issue lingers but is much abated with only a few floating walleye, yellow perch, largemouth bass, and one huge carp. DNR has identified a bacterial culprit, which caused a spike in mortality in July. With cool weather, the issue is apparently diminishing and Deep Creek Lake continues to be an excellent place to go fishing.
Steve Doctor, a DNR fisheries biologist in Ocean City confirms that the spectacular white marlin bite is still crazy between the Washington and Norfolk canyons out to 800 fathoms. Some hot-shot captains and crews fooled as many as 25 on Tuesday. Wahoo and yellowfin tuna are scattered and biting just outside the Hotdog. Sea bass and flounder fishing is good when the water is clear. But the weather has created turbid conditions particularly inshore and in the back bays. Nonetheless, the flounder are getting bigger with more 19-inch keepers coming off the wrecks and in the bay. As the water clears, the inshore and bay fishing will pick up.
"It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming."
John Steinbeck
Joe Evans is the Fisheries Service's communications specialist. He came to DNR after five years as the editor of a regional boating and fishing magazine. As an award-winning freelance writer, he has published features in national magazines on fishing, hunting, and the environment including assignments on salmon tagging on the Ponoi River on the Kola Peninsula of Russia and bonefishing in the Los Roques Archipelago in Venezuela as well as the high trout streams of Southern Chile. He has written definitive features on some of the mainstays of conservation and fishing including Lefty Kreh, Stu Apte, and George Hommel.

Build-it-yourself Saab 900 Turbo
Too cold to work in the garage the other night, so I got out the X-acto knife, the steel ruler and the Elmer's glue, and put together this nifty paper model I got for free from the Belgian-based I Love Saab campaign. The site is run by Saab of Belgium, and Mark McCourt is the one who pointed me in its direction. You can download your own copy here.
I printed mine out on heavy stock. There weren't any directions, but it was all pretty logical. I think I probably missed a line directing me to score the sides of the car and give them a little crease the long way, because the model came out looking a little like Picasso's idea of a 900, wide and angular at the front and back.
If the link above is broken, you can find it by going to ilovesaab.be, choosing France or the Netherlands as your home country (sorry, those are the only choices), clicking on "les bonus" at the bottom of the page, and then "voir plus" under "papercraft," and "telecharger" on the following page. They have screensavers and hot pink "I (heart) Saab" banners you can download for free, too.

Phantastic! A card model of the SAAB 900! Once we had a 900 i (in black, 4 doors) – my wife still dreams of this car and the convertible. Are there other card models of SAAB cars?

SteelSeries creates a slew of gaming peripherals from gaming mice to specialized gaming headsets. I recently spent some time with the Spectrum 7XB Headset from SteelSeries. The 7XB is a wireless headset specially made for the Xbox 360. The 7XB has a slew of features from the companies specialized LiveMix feature to the headsets ability to disassemble, perfect for those traveling gamers.
I'll start with the headsets physical design and feel. While there is noting to flashy with the look of the 7XB, its functions are top-notch. The first thing you'll notice is the wide headband that doesn't wrap tight around your head. To many of my headphones have a tight headband and after hours of non-stop use you start to feel the side pieces digging into your skull. With the stretched out headband of the 7XB the band really never touches your head, instead you have a nice soft top cushion, keeping you nice and comfortable.
The next nice design feature is really for gamers who bring their consoles around to various locations. The 7XB can be disassembled into 5 smaller pieces making it great for traveling. Plus when not in use the mic actually can be retracted into the headset, no need to worry about ripping of a thin mic-boom when storing the headset.
Since this is a wireless headset you need a base station to send audio. It's a pretty straight forward compact unit, that can easily be hidden in an entertainment center behind your Xbox 360. Connecting it to your Xbox is similar to other wireless headsets. You have an included RCA adapter which you plug-in inline with your console audio, and then a USB adapter that plugs into the Xbox to power the base station. Also included is a mini-plug cable which can plug into your TV's headphone jack if you don't want to fumble with the RCA connectors. Both audio connections give you the same quality audio, so there is no difference between them, and you should just use whichever is easiest to hook-up.
Now onto the headsets function. The headset is fairly simple to use, from the ease of syncing it to the base station to selecting the audio preset that sounds the best. I was quite surprised actually by the quality of audio I was getting out of the headset. I usually find battery-powered headset to be a little low in volume and lacking bass, but this isn't the case with the Spectrum 7XB. I felt like I had enough volume and after switching through the audio presets was able to find one that gave me a good amount of bass and not make the high-end muddy to really make those Gears of War 3 explosions boom.
The really neat thing that I haven't seen in any other headset is the LiveMix mode that the 7XB has. Pretty much when enabled LiveMix will automatically lower the game volume whenever voice chat audio is sensed. So when playing an intense game of Black Ops you won't lose your teams voices in the sounds of the battlefield. You'll need to tinker with the LiveMix settings a bit to get the mix just right, at first had it to high and the game audio would pretty much drop all the way, but after a few button presses I was able t get a good mix that kept my team's voices clear but also didn't totally kill the game audio.
SteelSeries impressed me quite a bit with the Spectrum 7Xb headset. From it's really comfortable design to the solid sound the headset produces. This headset is packed with some decent features but not overlay complicated to use, which is a major plus. To many gaming devices have so many functions and instructions that they are just too much, this isn't the case with the Spectrum 7XB. The only downside is this is strictly a headset for the Xbox 360 as far as voice communication goes. Lack of Bluetooth means you can't sync it with a PS3 or PC for voice communication. While you can still hook it up to your PC and PS3 through the various audio connectors it would have been nice if Bluetooth or at least an optional adapter was available to use it with your other gaming devices, I hate having multiple headsets and earpieces around the desk for everything. The lack of voice support for other consoles aside, this is still a solid and worthy headset. If you are a heavy Xbox 360 gamer and have been looking for a nice wireless headset at a reasonable price then check out the SteelSeries 7XB.
A SteelSeries Spectrum 7XB Headset was provided to us for this review from SteelSeries.
