Bruce Lee on Self Expression
I would like to get the entire interview from Pierre Berton but this clip from his exchange with Bruce Lee is fascinating. Bruce Lee was not only an actor but a philosopher and martial artist. His quest was for devising a form of marital arts based on attack. Some have said that the form he began was a precursor to modern mixed martial arts. Berton notes that the Western world hasn't since the Greeks combined philosophy and art with sport. He poses this to Bruce Lee and Lee responds in a compelling way. In these interviews, it is really cool to hear how Bruce Lee responds at the end of some of his statements with, "that's it man" or "there you go baby". Interesting man to listen to and a tragedy that he died so young.

The El Paso group Wise Latina International had some heavyweight inspiration for its formation, and since the nonprofit's founding in 2010, has put on events and hosted speakers to explore Latinas in the arts and in leadership. For the next two Saturdays, the group is hosting a Latina Identity Summit at the main library Downtown that will bring together community leaders and women from different backgrounds for a series of facilitated workshops led by University of Texas at El Paso professors Dr. Gina Nuñez and Dr. Norma Mendoza on who women are as Latinas and the challenges that come from labeling themselves.
Liz Chavez the founder and board president of the group. The television and film producer splits her time between El Paso and Los Angeles. She answered some questions about the group and its goals.
Q Tell us about your Hollywood experience and why you decided to move back to El Paso?
A After finishing my undergraduate education at Stanford University, I moved to Los Angeles because I was admitted to UCLA Law School and because my goal was to work behind the scenes in broadcast news. I began as an associate producer in public affairs at CBS/KCBS in 1978, worked as a producer/director and writer and eventually became part of the management team as programming and broadcast manager. I also worked in the film industry with producers and directors like Moctesuma Esparza, Gregory Nava and Dennis Leoni, and actors like Edward James Olmos, Jennifer Lopez, Tony Plana, Lupe Ontiveros and many others.
I was born and raised in El Paso and I began to split my time between Los Angeles and El Paso when my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I wanted to spend quality time with my dad while I still could. So I changed my life a bit. I am glad I did. My dad passed away three years ago.
Q What was your inspiration for Wise Latina International and why do you think there is a need for this kind of organization?
A My inspiration was Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor. When her nomination was under consideration, she came under fire because she described herself as a wise Latina. I think for Latina women, or women of color for that matter, this was the best stereotype Latinas had ever experienced. For once, we were not being pegged as maids, prostitutes, hotties or all the negative portrayals out there in the media.
I believe there is a need for this organization because women and Latinas in particular still have a long way to go in society. We need to educate, raise awareness and thereby empower our women to take their rightful place in society today. It is important that our women experience a strong sense of self-esteem, self-reliance and self-determination. Empowering our women will not only impact them but their children, family and community.
Q What kind of women and girls are you targeting?
A We are an organization that strives to be all-inclusive. We welcome women from all walks of life, women of all ages, professions and generations. We want women that want to be part of an organization that hopes to make a difference, and women that understand social change is still imminent. We are not a social club. I tell our board and members that "yes we will have fun times, but we are here to set realistic goals, work hard and hopefully be successful in the endeavors we undertake."
Q What does it mean to you to be Latina?
A I am not really hung up on labels. But truly I am from a generation that readily accepts and identifies with Chicana. Yes, I am Latina and Hispanic. However, I am a product of the late '60s and '70s, a part of the Civil Rights, Chicano, Women's and Chicana movements -- a time when so many landmark decisions, laws and opportunities were being forged. So, I was part of those movements -- challenging but exciting and historical times.
Q One of the topics for the Latina Identity Summit kicking off this weekend is Latina vs. Hispanic. What is your take on these forms of self-identity?
A No, we are not advocating Latina vs. Hispanic. What we have found is that there is very little research on Latinas and how they see themselves. Here in El Paso, we are initiating the "Latina Identity Project," in corroboration with Dr. Gina Nuñez, anthropology professor at UTEP. What we are exploring on Saturday is to begin to gather information as to how Latina, Hispanic, Mexican, Mexican-American, Spanish American, Chicana, Mestiza (whatever you want to call yourself) identify themselves, what that means to them and how they feel others perceive them. We understand that everyone will have their individual viewpoint based on their own experiences. There is no right or wrong answer. But we feel we need to know who we are before we can move forward.
Q This summit is supposed to build toward a Wise Latina International Conference. What is this conference and how will your two-weekend event fit in?
A Yes, we will be having a Wise Latina International Conference in the Spring of 2014. The theme will be "Tapestry of Evolution: Strength, Power and Influence." These two summits will be laying the foundation for this conference. That is why we are opening them up to everyone. We want to be all-inclusive and we are providing the forum free to the participants. You do not have to be a member of the organization to participate. We want input from the community we will be serving.
Q What do you want women to get out of the Latina Identity Summit?
A I want them to walk away inspired, motivated and excited about all the possibilities. Equally as important feeling that they want to part of this movement for a better quality of life.
Q Who has been your own role model?
A This a very hard question to answer because I have had so many role models throughout my life. I would begin to say my two most important role models were my parents. They taught me the importance of family, they taught me values, the importance of education and not getting caught up in a "me generation" mentality. One thing I can say is that I am continuously meeting and learning from many people. So I don't think I will ever end looking up to others for guidance and input.

Installing front brake rotors and pads myself ?
I just received a set of centric premium rotors and ebc green pads. How difficult is it to change out the old rotors and pads myself ? How much would a mechanic usually charge for such a job ? I am mechanically inclined, I swapped out a rear bent drive shaft, installed my body lift etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Should be easy. I recently changed out the rotors and pads on my wifes exploder. Using the Chiltons manual and some uhm.. help, if you could call it that, from my wife we had the front done in rather quickly.
Super easy!

AUSTIN (May 13, 2013)--The University of Texas at Austin announced Monday that its Denius-Sams Gaming Academy will begin in fall 2014 with a focus on training students to become game development team leaders.
Warren Spector, a 30-year veteran of the video game industry known for work on "Ultima" and "System Shock," will guide the curriculum, and he and Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment, will serve as part-time instructors.
Students attending the academy will earn post-baccalaureate certificates instead of graduate degrees.
The academy will include a 12-month program in which students will create a small-scale game.
Only 20 spots are available next year for the academy.

TE Rankings & Projections
How do you guys rank the Junior and Senior TE class, and what rounds do you project for each?
-Eifert's the cream of the crop among eligible players imo.
-Beyond that I like Llutzenkirchen, Stoneburner and Furstenburg as solid but unspectacular mid-late rounders.
-Chris Gragg and Mychal Rivera have shown some glimpses as well and they might be worth late round picks.
-Michael Williams seems like a very solid blocker and could potentially find a role as a backup at the next level.
-Brandon Ford of Clemson and Zach Ertz of Stanford are two guys to keep an eye on as they have been improving their stocks weekly this year. Both were stuck behind high picks(Fleener and Allen) last year and are enjoying breakout years now.
-Haven't had a chance to see some of the other highly rated guys but overall it just seems like it's not a great class tbh. I'm really more excited about some of the underclassmen. Mike Evans from Texas A&M looked like a potential Jimmy Graham clone when I watched him earlier in the year. 6'5, 220, runs a reported 4.54 forty...basketball background to boot. He's a WR at the moment but I think he has room to add some weight and make the conversion. Colt Lyerla is probably one of the most intriguing prospects in the country. 6'5, 250, 40' vert and runs a sub 4.5 forty. There's still the question of where he'll end up playing of course but TE seems like the logical fit.
Austin Sefarian-Jenkins, UW. Is going to be pretty special only being a sophomore.
Good call on Colt Lyerla. They've got him in the backfield some there at Oregon and i'm not sure his best position might not be OLB. Almost in that Brian Urlacher category at a similar stage.
Chris Gragg has got to be the best receiving TE out there. Probably the best 'Joker' TE in the draft because of the mismatches he offers out wide. For being a bulked up WR, he is actually a surprisingly good blocker. For a guy who's undersized, I really don't think he's a liability as an inline blocker.
Lutzenkirken will start in the nfl, I see him being similar to Brent celek as far as his impact in the nfl. Very good player.
I am really liking Dion Sims from Michigan State a lot. Moves really well for a guy his size (6'5 280), blocks well in the run game, and I haven't seen him drop a pass yet this season. Not a whole lot not to like about him. Obv lacks the breakaway speed that some other TEs have, but a really well rounded player nonetheless
I think you are talking about Todd Heap's school
This is how I would rate them currently, individually by class and together and junior and seniors.
The senior class is outstanding and there are tons of very talented tight ends to pick from that are having very good seasons. Usually the top part is underclassmen dominated but not this year. If one was just to focus on blocking tight ends it would be a completely different list, most of these rankings are based on their pass catching ability.
JR and SR players combined:
Tyler Eifert Notre Dame
Joseph Fauria UCLA

Blake Hammond Western Michigan Undrafted
DC Jefferson Rutgers Undrafted
Blake Ayles Miami FL TS Undrafted or not picked up
Telfer is going to be a stud TE in the league, himself and Grimble are damn good. They need to see the rock more at SC, but the WR's take a lot of the touches.
Toilolo and Ertz are a good combo and should be interesting to see how their draft stock ends up.
Toilolo has height you can't deny and if he is singled up on a corner just try to throw it up to him. He has 6"-9" on most corners in the redzone so its always worth a shot. Runs better than expected & has made strides in blocking. I do always worry about him taking a shot to his knee with those really long legs like he did 2 years ago against Sac St.
Ertz is a much more dynamic player though. Gets split out wide regularly and runs good routes. Adequate blocker. Has some burst and wiggle.
Watch the double move and finish at 4:50 to score the go ahead TD against USC:
Count me on board with Toilolo>Ertz.
Xavier Grimble USC
Tevin Westbrook Florida
Randall Telfer USC RS
Connor Hamlett Oregon State
Nick O'Leary Florida State
And I agree USC should use their tight ends WAY more than they do.
And for freshman Kyle Carter on Penn State looks dang good so far, but it is a very tight end friendly offense their with O'Brien.
DC Jefferson has all the tools in the world. He's going to be a good 7th round/UDFA developmental player for someone. He does show some nice flashes and he's still learning the position. It wouldn't shock me after he goes through the process if he ends up maybe in the 5th or 6th though.
Physically he is so impressive just looking at him, but his production is just not there at all. It should not be taking this long to "learn" the position, he should of had it down by his junior year and still as a senior he is not all there impacting the game the way he should or could.
The problem was that under Schiano the TE was never featured as a pass catcher at all. You can see his stats are much better already this year so he is taking that next step. We also ran the WildCat when he first switched over so they just asked him to block most of the time which didn't help at all. Also, we have so many different weapons to throw the ball too numbers are going to be deflated a little bit. As I said though I can see anything from the 5th round to a UDFA even though he's going to be impressive at the combine. He reminds me a lot of our own Adrien Robinson who we took in the 4th and he barely any production as a pass catcher.

Edgewood Academy 2010 graduate Mallory Garmon, right, receives the Leadership Award at May's Joe Sewell awards banquet. Garmon died Sunday in a car crash.
- Filed Under
An 18-year-old Deatsville teen was killed in a single-car crash Sunday afternoon just a little under a mile inside the Elmore County line, according to the Alabama Department of Public Safety.
Mallory Gail Garmon was traveling westbound over the posted speed limit on County Road 193 when the 2005 Chevy Silverado she was operating left the road and struck a tree, the report indicated.
State Trooper Sgt. Steve Jarrett confirmed the incident happened around 4:30 p.m. about six miles east of her hometown, less then a mile from the Autauga County line. Elmore County Corner Tim Ellison pronounced the teen dead at the scene.
A 2010 graduate of Edgewood Academy, Garmon was a proud member of the private school's basketball, softball and cheerleading squads. Her athletic skills on the diamond earned her a softball scholarship from Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City.
"Whenever she came into a room, it would immediately light up, that's how amazing she was," said Bobby Carr, Edgewood athletic director. "It's just tough for everybody; we don't understand why sometimes."
In May, the 18-year-old was given the Leadership Award at the Joe Sewell Awards, an honor established to recognize outstanding high school senior athletes in Elmore County who consistently represented the highest ideals of Christian leadership.
Garmon becomes the second student from the small private school in Elmore to die in an automobile accident this year, as Jacob Benton died when the vehicle he was driving collided with another just south of Troy in March after he was returning from weekend trip in Florida.
"We were just getting to the point where we could handle things and get back to normal following the death of Jacob, and now here we are," Carr explained. "She was really tight with Jacob, and she even gave the eulogy as his funeral."
Edgewood Academy was set to hold its homecoming festivities this week, but Carr and other school officials have decided to postpone those plans and push Senior Night back until the opening round of the AISA playoffs.
State troopers will continue to investigate the circumstances behind the wreck.

"432" on Gecko: UpdatePuppy "4.3.2" customised for Gecko
Ok, I have uploaded the working Puppy "4.3.2" (unofficial release version) files:
Explanation how to install:
Some extra notes
1. I recommend adding "loglevel=3" to the kernel commandline in 'menu.lst'.
2. Dual booting with FreeDOS is great if you want to be able to update the Flash BIOS. Someone might be interested in going through the steps and produce a image file for a 4GB SD card.
3. I do not have a driver for the USB wifi adapter supplied by Norhetec. I substituted another, that uses the 'rt73usb' driver -- but that has some stability issues.
4. The space provided for the internal USB wifi adapter is small and you may have to strip the casing off the adapter.
I am now placing the Gecko onto the "back-burner" (as they say), doing other stuff. I have got one of the units setup okay with Puppy "432", to donate to an Indian NGO in March. The other unit, I'll keep, may fiddle with it again, especially if anyone else comes up with an improved Linux installation, such as the example given recently of Xubuntu.
When I state "okay", I really mean the best that I can get it for now. Wifi driver is unstable, no battery status, but basically usable. If you are reading this post and haven't seen my other posts on the Gecko, see here:

Kernel Src with Header Files
Michael just sent some files for linux-2.6.30-vortex86mx (full kernel source that includes all kernel header files).
I have forwarded the files (and chain of emails) to your gmail.

Hi Barry did you want a olpc XO ? I had 2 of them and sent one to micko, I still have one left, lol The way I look at it if you had a working model, maybe you might get further than me.
Posted on 13 Mar 2010, 6:46 by BarryK
Gecko, XO
We don't need the kernel header files from DMP. The 2.6.33-git7 kernel used in Quirky 008 works in the Gecko. Sound, ethernet, wireless, shutdown, all works. When I progress to the next 2.6.33.x kernel for a future Quirky, it will be the same situation.
What DMP needs to do though, is update the Xorg 'rdc' driver to work in Xorg 7.5. Currently we are forced to use the Xorg 'vesa' driver. Currently, the 'rdc' driver is designed for Xorg 7.3 only. While they are at it, they need to fix the mis-behaving mouse pointer.
Aargh! No, I gave mine away to a OLPC volunteer, certainly don't want another.

Your Puppy kernel can use apm.
Did you use something special way to build kernel?
Please tell me.

You may need to update the BIOS in the Gecko.
Note, although we had APM "working" with Puppy, it wasn't of much use. What we wanted to do is read battery level, however the Gecko hardware is not capable of that.

There is one other thing, my kernel has a configure option enabled to support an RDC ide chip -- I think this was a new feature in the 2.6.33 kernel. I don't recall which option.

Facebook said to be launching 'Find My Friends' type app
updated 01:46 am EST, Tue February 5, 2013
Will take on Apple, Foursquare, Banjo, others
Knowing where everyone important to you is at any given moment no longer requires "eyes in the back of your head" the way it did for our parents. Thanks to apps like Apple's Find My Friends iOS app (and voluntary "I am here!" apps like Foursquare and Facebook's check-in service), stalking (with permission) your friends and loved ones has never been easier. Bloomberg is reporting that Facebook will launch such an app for iOS and presumably Android to offer the same abilities for your Facebook friends.
Of course, users of the alleged new Facebook app -- which is rumored to launch next month -- would have to opt-in to having their location tracked and broadcast to those who want to know. Facebook already provides Nearby and Places services that lets users know about businesses, services and events that are happening near their current location, so the new app could simply coordinate this information with voluntary check-ins and posts that have location information attached to them.
In 2011, Facebook bought GoWalla, a competitor to the reigning check-in type app, FourSquare. Initially it brought the technology into Facebook with its own implementation of check-in that added the ability to tag other Facebook friends as being at the same location -- a feature that sometimes has unintended side effects. For Facebook, further integration of these services will allow the now stockholder-driven company to increase its use of targeted advertising, as it will simultaneously collect great amounts of data on where people are and what they're doing in groups rather than through one individual at a time.
Currently over 157 million active Facebook users interact with the site through mobile devices exclusively. More users now use mobile devices to go on Facebook at least some of the time than desktop/notebook users, by roughly a 60-40 percent ratio. This means some 680 million people use the mobile versions of Facebook at least periodically. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly emphasized that the company is focused not just on capitalizing on its mobile users, but in making such users a priority and that Facebook will spend 2013 learning to "get really good at building new mobile-first experiences."
Though Facebook may run afoul of privacy advocates with the scheme, as other "Find My Friend" type app competitors have, a bigger concern is how the company will approach using and sharing location data. Unlike most new applications that have to explicitly ask for permission to use location data, most Facebook users have already given the company that permission and may not understand that it applies equally to all Facebook iOS apps rather than just the site itself. Battery drain caused by constant tracking (which Apple's Find My Friends doesn't do) could also be a concern even among users comfortable with the concept.

Ladies and gentlemen we have reached another Instance milestone with episode #300. We laughed, we tried not to cry, and there were countless well-wishes from both Blizzard employees and our beloved fans alike. With all of that said, we decided to celebrate #300 with a good, old-fashioned episode complete with Johnson-pulling, Giants love, and drinking of the Brit-like variety.

And we love you! I hope you found everything you were looking for and that we made your experience memorable.
A wonderful experience…Everyone treated us very nice and made our bride feel so special…
I want to thank you for sharing your comments. We pride ourselves on trying to make every bride know how special she is and hope that we can in a small way contribute to the happiness of her special day. If you purchased your gowon from us, please send us photos so we can share them with all the brides-to-be!
They are very helpful to me. I am mother of the bride. My designer gown is gorgeous and very reasonable and they helped me put all together from my Angela Nuban designer shoes to my fabulous BLING BLING accessories I don't see anywhere else I have been to. Michelle the owner says it just came in that day.
My husband says the minute he saw me in that designer gown "that is it" , he loved it. My daughter( the bride) says my shoes are better than hers. I will bring her there to see if she finds what she likes.
I would recommend to check them out.
You are so sweet to share your story. It was a pleasure working with you. Please send me some photos please. I would love to post your pictures and send them to Angela Nuran. Stop by and bring us those photos of when you were totally gorgeous with all your bling!
this message is for Michelle – My daughter and I were in your shop on Sunday and the rudest lady from Newport Beach came in- she was very rude to your employees – loud and demanding. We were all told when we came in that they were running about 20 minutes behind – we all just adapted with exception of the lady who came in demanding to be taken care of immediately as she had driven from Newport Beach – Your staff handled it the best that they could trying not to make the scene she was making any worse. Most likely everyone in the shop had driven a distance for their appointment. We have been extremely pleased with your staff on all 4 of our visits to your store.
The Riedman's
Thank you for your concern and also for your patience with an unpleasant situation. Both of the individuals (customer and employee) have resolved any issues and I am happy to report, all is well. I am quite pleased to hear that you have received outstanding customer service on all ofyour visits and I am certain that is what has contributed to usbeing awarded the Best Bridal and Wedding Store in the Inland Empire by the U.S. Chamber Assoc. I hope you will consider us for your future needs. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
After a very long day of dress shopping I was feeling a little discouraged that I hadn't found "the dress." On a recommendation from a co-worker, I came here to the store on day 2. I am so happy I did. Not only did I find, "the dress," I found the experience I was looking for. It was so nice, calm, and relaxing. There was a big room to change, a runway like area with big mirrors to see my dress and Melinda was so helpful and kind. She really took the time to help me with all the details without being pushy or sales like. She was just like one of the gals in my party! I loved this store and my dress!
Thank you for your comments. I am so glad that you had a great experience at my store. it is my goal to make every person that walks through the door feel special regardless if they find the dress of the dreams or not! Thanks again and please bring me or send me some photos in your dress on your wedding day!
It has been almost two years since my wedding but I have since referred my friend who has bought two dresses here. I bought my dress and veil plus my mothers dress here as well. I went to many shops but wanted something unique, my veil is gorgeous and it had the original price tag on it, the previous owner paid almost $600 for it and I got it for the price of a cheap looking veil at David's bridal!!! My mom's dress was not altered in time and so Michelle personally drove it to my mom so we would have it in time for the wedding and she would not be inconvenienced. When Michelle is there you don't have to worry about anything. Thanks for everything Michelle
My wife bought her dress here. what an amazing
experience. The service was truly top notch.
Chele and her staff are amazing. I have never
seen my wife look so beautiful in her designer dress on our wedding day
On the queen Mary!
I love the dresses that Michele has at Beverly Hills Bridal.
I fell in love with your store looong before I fell in love with my fiance! I have been in a few times since we got engaged to look around, and now that our venue is booked, I cannot wait to try on dresses there tomorrow.
We are looking forward to helping you find everything you want and need for your wedding!
My mom told me about the Beverly Hills
Bridal Exchange, and being a girl on a budget I was excited at the
prospect of whatever the store might offer. And HOLY MOLY was it a
find!!! There is so much to choose from, vintage to modern, commercial,
designer and even one of a kind pieces! I loved that "I" could look through the
hangers of immaculately organized dresses and not have to have someone
else "guess," at one I wanted to try on. Then wonderful Darlene, helped
me into every single dress I picked! She was polite, knowledgeable and
complimentary while still letting me feel like the ball was in MY court
for the big decision- no pressure, just fun! The very last dress I tried
on brought me to tears and I knew it was the one! Trying not to be
Bridezilla- I wanted to sleep on it; so I came by the next morning where
I was helped by the incredibly sweet and patient Nancy who let me try
it on one more time before making the purchase. I even met Michelle, the
owner who was able to tell me the history of my dress- which turned out
to be a one of a kind piece, making me feel more special! These ladies
could not have been more GENUINE and provided me with remarkable
customer service. I highly recommend Beverly Hills Bridal Exchange to
every bride looking for her dream dress- because I know I found mine!!!
I am sorry it took me so long to come see your new, huge, beautiful store. I am beyond impressed! I gotta say that when Dominique, Jackie and I went to your store right after she got engaged almost 4 years ago, we knew we were in the right place. You will recall we picked three dresses. They were all lovely but when she tried on the third dress, we all knew that was the dress for her. I have a confession, though. You held the dress for her for a couple of days, and meanwhile we went to one of those chain bridal stores. Sorry, but nothing came even close. Not the dresses, not the accessories, not the service. You and your staff always made us feel like royalty. She got a fabulous dress for a super reasonable price. More than pleased! Again, thank you so much, and much success to you!
That is a great idea; however, we are encouraging our brides to send us photos in their gowns on their wedding day. They will be nuch more professional and definitely show off the choices they have made.

Chef-Created Breakfast Recipes
By Chef Jeremy
For AthleticFoodie.com
Everyone is always looking for recipes, especially those that are healthy. As a chef, I've spent years creating recipes and love making simple, healthy and delicious options anyone can make at home. In the past I battled being overweight and out of shape. Once I began watching my diet, and making healthier choices, I lost almost 70 pounds. Now my main focus as a chef is creating healthy fare that also packs a lot of flavor. Below are two recipes I enjoy making that taste great and give you a boost to start your day.
Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Pancakes
Makes 3 servings
- 4oz Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- 2 whole eggs
- ¼ tsp Splenda
- 6 Tbsp spelt flour (can substitute with whole wheat or any other type of flour)
- 4 Tbsp vanilla whey protein powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1oz chopped toasted almonds
- 1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
- 1 lemon
- Vegetable spray
Separate the egg whites and yolks. In a medium mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, yogurt, lemon zest, spelt flour, protein powder, poppy seeds and baking powder.
In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they are super fluffy ("soft peak" similar to meringue). Add the whipped egg whites to the yogurt/flour mix. Fold in them in gently to keep the mix as light as possible. Add the blueberries and almonds.
Place a non-stick skillet over a low heat. Once the pan has warmed, spray with vegetable spray. Using a dessert spoon, spoon the mix into the pan to form several pancakes (they are easier to turn if they are kept small). After a few minutes, turn each pancake. Once both sides are cooked, remove them from the pan and repeat the process.
Cook all the mix, if you do not need the complete three portions, the remaining pancakes can be stored in the fridge, eaten for future breakfast or cold as a snack.
Serve with a wedge of fresh lemon.

Herbed Egg White Turkey "Taco"
In this recipe we use egg whites to substitute a flour tortilla; removing carbs and adding in lean protein. To do this, you need to gently cook the egg whites forming a thin flat open face omelet just like a tortilla!
- 2/3 cup egg whites
- 1 tsp chopped basil
- 1 tsp chopped chives
- 3oz sliced deli turkey
- 1oz diced avocado
- 1oz diced fresh tomato (other vegetables as desired)
- 1 Tbsp chopped scallions
- 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- ¼ small lime (wedge)
- 1 tsp Tabasco
- Vegetable Spray
- Salt and pepper
Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with vegetable spray. Mix the egg whites, chopped chives and chopped basil. Pour half of the mix into the skillet. Do not mix the egg whites while they are in the pan, (this way you will form your egg "tortilla").
Once the egg whites have firmed, flip them so both sides are cooked. Once cooked remove from the pan, lay flat, cook the remaining egg white mix, following the same process.
Cover the egg white "tortillas" with the turkey. Add the chopped avocado and chopped tomato. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro. Finish with a spritz of lime and a dash of tabasco. Fold the filled egg whites to form two "tacos".

James Bond is back at the Oscars after nearly 50 years, winning two gongs, including one for Brit songstress Adele in a great night for 007.
Adele and Paul Epworth took the award for best original song, for... what else, Skyfall, while the film shared an Oscar in a rare tie with Zero Dark Thirty for best sound editing.
It was a marvellous night for London diva Adele as she wowed the Dolby Theatre crowd with a rendition of her Oscar winning Bond theme, appearing on stage after the legend that is Shirley Bassey had belted out her iconic hit Goldfinger.
Adele would've won over more fans with her acceptance speech, if she wasn't already the biggest act on the planet, as her tearful but chirpy acceptance speech was refreshingly down-to-earth amid the Hollywood backslapping and praise.
Adele: Oscar winner (Photo: WENN/ABC)
The bleary eyed singer thanked her songwriting partner Paul Epworth, praising him for, "believing in me all the time", also adding thanks to, "my man, I love you baby".
All in all, despite not finally cracking the highest reaches of the Oscars with a Best Picture nomination in January, a great night for Bond.

I'm a small size 5 in women's shoes. I wear a size 2 in boy's canvas sneakers so that's what I ordered in these 3 Velcro Stan Smith shoes. It fits well but I can only get away with a thin sock. A size 2.5 would have been better to accommodate cushy socks but a size 3 is one size too big for me. I have 2 other pairs of Stan Smiths in women's size 5 and they feel like one size too big but are ok with thick socks and the laces tied tight. ... read more
My daughter loves her Stan Smith's which go with everything and they are also comfortable for long walks.

My son is six and currently plays football (trains) 5 times per week. although he has 3 other adidas boots. He required Black ones for school football.

DIY Woodworking Plan Review
Do You want to Create Beginner Woodworking Plans Easily and Quickly?
I just enjoy a site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at: http://www.TedsWoodworking.com
Here is an honest review of TedsWoodworking.com
If you need to begin a woodworking project, you need all the complete information, for example schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step guide of how the plan should be done and put together. Although, There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your mind and ideas because this is Easy Woodworking Project Plans
- In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need:
- - Plans and Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions
- - Step-by-step Guide about how to start your project
- - The material that you must use to each project

- - Tips and trick for beginner on woodworking
If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.
Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in How To Build Wood Bench, home furniture, dog houses, bird feeders, sheds and much much more.
There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking.

What you see when you look inside Teds Woodworking package is the ultimate guide to woodworking, it is about How To Make Wood Projects and it is all there – easy to see, read and copy and start your journey to woodworking glory.

- * Perfectly simple and easy to understand plans explaining what goes where and how
- * Brilliant pictures along the way and of the finished product so you know what it should look like when completed and how it compares
There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading. To solve this matter, you can download one based on your need. If you have time to download it, you do anytime.

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars. Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.
Over 50,000 people have purchased Teds Woodworking plans and I really think that underlines just how good they are and how useful it can be to you. Nothing is more valuable than real examples of a product being worthwhile and this has it in by the bucket.

"The Ninja ZX-10R is a brand new bike," Sykes said. "The first few tests we had have been fairly positive. At the official IMS testing at Portimao we came out fairly decent, which for Kawasaki I think was very good, because Portimao was one of our worst tracks last year.
"The bikes are two completely different machines. At the moment the new bike does everything better. Last year the Kawasaki seemed to stop very well in a straight line, and I expected not to improve on that this year because it was such a strong point – but Kawasaki still managed to improve on that with the new bike, let alone everything else. Possibly one of the biggest changes is the ability to hold a tighter line with the new bike. There are big changes this year."
Sykes is entering his 4th year in the World Superbike division, and will be looking to better his 14th place finish from last year.
"I have targets and goals set out in my head, but I am not a rider who shouts about what he wants to achieve. I do not been any extra pressure from anybody else. I am going to go out there and give 110% as always. With Kawasaki and PBM behind me I think we have a good base package to move forward this year. I have worked with a lot of these guys before in the British Championships, and then again last year in WSBK, so my comfort level with this team is brilliant really. I am so relaxed in the garage."

The Fall of Baghdad
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On April 7, 2003 @ 10:22 am In Finance,War/Defense | Comments Disabled
"Upside" risk has been the Trader's cry the past 4 Fridays, as shorts contemplate the risk of positive news over the weekend. The wisdom of covering large positions was finally proven prescient since the bell rang Friday:
• Southern Iraq is firmly under US/UK control;
• US tanks take Presidential palaces in Baghdad;
• Chemical Ali killed in air assault;
• The Republican Guard "effectively" destroyed;
• Baghdad slipping with a minimum of "Urban Combat;"
While the war is far from over, the weekend's progress is reflected in the futures (+2%) this morning.
Instead of focusing on "obvious" news, I wanted to bring 3 under reported items your attention. Yes, the gap up this morning is headline driven, but other positive stories m ay also be contributing to the positive action. Its important to contemplate these items before the contrarian wannabes dismiss today's rally as an overreaction to good war news:
1) China slaps North Korea: The Washington Post
2) Cheering Throngs? Also getting overlooked is some incredible cooperation and intel from Iraqis: Consider 3 operations: The intial "beheading" strike at Saddam, the rescue of PFC Jessica Lynch, and the air attack on "Chemical" Ali. Its doubtful any of these could have been successful executed without collaboration from individual Iraqis. Though expectations of being greeted ala Paris '45 were too high – the population has been cowed by decades of intimidation and torment; Somebody on the ground is cooperating, and that assistance is having a major impact on the prosecution of the War;
3) SARS Panic may have peaked: Note that this epidemic has fatality rate of 3-4% — hardly the cause for mass hysteria or obsession we've seen in some quarters. Expect this to recede as a major threat over the next few months;
Traders should be cautious not to presume, as some have irresponsibly declared, that the War is over. Its not, and their will continue to be American casualties as the troops shift towards more of a mopping up operation. Note that cornered animals can be the most dangerous, and the ever-present threat of bio/chemical attacks remains.
None of this means valuations are cheap, but it does support a 10-15% rally over the next 90 days. Last Monday's lows remain your new stop losses.

According to the University of Nebraska ag department 72% of irrigated land in Nebraska is irrigated with sprinkler systems - primarily the center pivot.
Even though they've been around for decades, pivot dealers in central Nebraska say they're selling more and more.
Ed Stoltenberg owns and operates Stoltenberg Irrigation with his wife. He says the 2012 growing season is keeping them busy with a jump in sales of new Valley center pivots and service of other pivots.
"We're probably up 50% over what we have seen in the past - a lot of pivots going in, a lot of things happening," says Stoltenberg. "We're very fortunate to have a manufacturer that has two manufacturing plants and being able to keep up with the supply quite well."
The Groundwater Foundation says Nebraska is the largest producer and user of center pivot irrigation in the United States.
Stoltenberg says high commodity prices and high land values are prompting more people to put center pivots in.
"That's one thing about Nebraska, or this particular area down through the Platte River valley - there's not a lot of dryland to be changed over, but what is there is getting changed over," he says.
Officials with the Central Platte Natural Resources District say they've noticed an increase in the number of new center pivots over the last few years too, and they say they're happy to see them go up.
"We just think center pivots are the greatest water quality saver in the Platte valley," says Milt Moravek, Assistant Manager and Projects Director at CPNRD.
Moravek says farmers have to use more water when they gravity irrigate a field, and that excess water can drive nutrients like nitrogen below the root zone out of the crop's reach. He says a center pivot will produce better yields not necessarily because of water savings, but because of those nutrients.
"You have dramatically reduced your deep percolation of water below the root zone, and you have dramatically reduced your leaching," Moravek says.
He says there are cost-share and incentive programs available for farmers through the NRD and NRCS for farmers interested in changing to center pivots.

The population was 22,464 according to the 2010 census. The area was settled in 1768, when Scottish physician Dr. Andrew Turnbull established the colony of New Smyrna. The colony occupies a notable place in history by being the single largest attempt by a member of the British Crown at colonization in the New World. Turnbull transplanted around 1500 settlers, from Minorca, Majorca, Ibiza, Smyrna, Crete, the Mani Peninsula, and Sicily, to grow hemp, sugarcane, and indigo, and to produce rum. The colony suffered major losses due to insect-borne diseases and Native American raids, and tensions grew due to mistreatment by Turnbull. Due to these complications, the remaining colonists in 1777 marched north to St. Augustine, along the Old King's Highway, to claim mistreatment by Turnbull to the Governor of Florida, which was then a British protectorate. Soon after, St. Augustine was returned to the Spanish, and Turnbull abandoned his colony for life in Charleston, South Carolina. The St. Photios National Shrine on St. George Street in St. Augustine honors the settlers of New Smyrna, who were the first Greek Orthodox...

Summer break can lead to learning losses for kids
Lehi • First-grade teacher Jamie Meacham reminds her students to use their "eagle eye" and "back-tracker crab" as they read so they can grasp each word.
"Let's look on the chair no, couch," reads 7-year-old Shanteal Lux, correcting her initial mistake. For that, she gets a high five and a "way to go" from Meacham.
School let out at Eaglecrest Elementary a week ago, but students in Alpine School District's STARS program (Students and Teachers Achieving Reading Success) get one extra month to boost their reading skills at least up to grade level before they return in the fall. Meacham hopes her "super STARS," who were invited to participate because they were not reading at grade level, enter second grade ahead of the pack.
On average, students lose one month of learning during the summer, according to a study released Monday by the nonprofit RAND Corporation and the Wallace Foundation.
What's more troubling, says researcher Catherine Augustine, is that students from low-income families are disproportionately impacted. Their learning losses during the summer when higher-income kids are attending pricey summer camps or reading at home with their parents helps to explain the persistent achievement gap.
"When you really delve into achievement test score results, you see that it's the low-income kids who are losing more knowledge and skills around reading during the summer," says Augustine, co-author of the "Making Summer Count" report. "They don't catch up during the summer, and they lose more ground the next summer. Over time, that loss is cumulative, and it's really hurting these kids."
In Utah, 69 percent of economically disadvantaged students scored "proficient" or better on state language arts exams in 2010 compared with 87 percent of their higher-income peers. There was a similar gap for math and science.
Along the Wasatch Front, many students at Title I schools, which receive federal funds because of the high rate of poverty in their neighborhoods, will be going back to class on Monday for four to six weeks of summer school. Parents typically pay a low fee of around $10 a week.
Districts often offer additional programs, too, such as Alpine's STARS, which is funded through the Alpine School District Foundation. The foundation has raised $1 million for STARS over the past decade.
Although Title I schools are required to offer "extended learning," which may be after school, before school or summer programming, students' participation is voluntary.
"Summer school is the best," says Salt Lake City resident Nancy Flander, who sends her two grandsons to Mountain View Elementary's summer program. "They meet new kids. They keep busy. They don't stay at home and watch the idiot box [television] and be bored."
The most effective summer programs include individualized instruction, parental involvement and small class sizes, the RAND study noted. They also may include "enrichment" or fun activities such as field trips and art projects, that break up academic time and make attendance more appealing.
At Redwood Elementary in West Valley City, the summer program's 150 students must attend class Monday through Thursday to be allowed to attend Friday field trips to such places as Red Butte Gardens and Hill Aerospace Museum. During the week, students also break up math and reading instruction with physical activities and crafts.
"We try to make it fun," says Sheryl Bailey, Redwood's professional learning specialist. "The longer we can give instruction to kids, the better they do. Because we have fewer kids, we can make instruction more interactive."
The summer classes each have about 25 students, she noted, but instruction often is broken into smaller groups of five students and one adult, who may be an aide or a teacher.
Redwood is one of Granite School District's 21 Title I schools. The schools always have offered summer programs but they got a boost this year and last with an influx of federal stimulus money, says Rob Averett, Granite's director of resource development.
"Next year, we will not have that money," he notes. "We are hoping as we've made adjustments in budgets that schools served by Title I next year will continue with their summer programs."
The district, he adds, has seen significant jumps in language arts and math scores for academically at-risk seventh, eighth and ninth graders who attend summer school.
In reviewing other summer programs across the nation, the RAND study estimates that such offerings cost between $1,109 and $2,801 per student for a five-week program that includes food, transportation and facilities. It is less expensive for a school district to provide summer programing than for other providers. And it costs less than education programming during the school year.
The report recommends that administrators think "creatively" about financing, noting there are more than 100 funding sources that can support summer learning programs. Districts also could partner with community organizations to share costs, the study notes.
"Whether you look at it as a social justice issue, in terms of helping these low-income kids, or an efficiency issue, in terms of teachers not having to repeat information from the spring," Augustine says, "those are the benefits that districts and parents and kids get from these summer learning programs."

Avoid summer reading losses
Kindergarten through second grade are critical years for learning to read. During summer breaks, students may lose some of what they have learned if they don't practice. Jamie Meacham, a first-grade teacher in Alpine School District, recommends that parents spend 15 to 20 minutes per day reading with their children, and asking their children to read to them. "Make it fun," she says, and fill in the words that are difficult.

Bacon – Menu Plan April 8
Posted By Heather On April 8, 2013 @ 1:25 am In Menu Plan | 3 Comments
[3]Bacon, Bacon, Bacon! Who loves bacon? That's the theme for this week's Gluten-Free Menu Swap. You'll find the round up below. We love bacon at my house. And, lately we seem to eating quite a bit of it, which has had me wondering if that's a bad thing. Then, I got an email last week, that says bacon is one of the healthiest foods you can eat!
Here's what it says:
"It's considered by many to be the ultimate food indulgence, but according to Dr. John Salerno, a protégé of "Atkins Diet" creator Dr. Robert Atkins, bacon is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.
"Many think of bacon as one of the guiltiest pleasures possible, but it has also been shown to alleviate the effects of diabetes, heart disease and strokes," says Dr. Salerno, author of "The Silver Cloud Diet," (www.thesilverclouddiet.com [4]). "Nitrate-free bacon is an excellent source of high protein, low-carbohydrate energy that helps to reset the metabolism, and it's filled with amino acids delivered without the risk of dangerous levels of mercury, which can be found in many fish."
Need more reasons to love bacon?
• It has a 4:1 ratio of protein to fat;
• It contains choline, which boosts memory and healthy brain function;
• It's composed of monounsaturated fats, the kind that contains lots of healthy fat-soluble vitamins and minerals
• It's a potent source of oleic acid and saturated fats, which help reduce levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), lower triglycerides, and raise HDL – commonly referred to as the good form of cholesterol."
OK, I'm sold! So, what do you think? Despite these claims, I still believe in eating everything in moderation. So, I'll try not to over-indulge. 😉 Check out the Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup below for more gluten-free menus, recipe links, and perhaps ideas for including bacon in your meals.
