Have anyone repaired an old stereo (1970)?
When I tune my radio to any AM station, it works loud and clear. But when on FM stations, nothing comes out of the speakers, but receiver itself produces very silent voice/music.
Anyone had any luck at repairing an old stereo?
Just thought I'd ask here first before I disassemble it, maybe there's a simple fix.

Re: Have anyone repaired an old stereo (1970)?
My '69 AM/FM radio just emits an electric crack noise when you turn it on. AM/FM switch seems not to work. Speakers seem to be toast. The owner (an old man) of the upholstery shop where my 69 is now has told me his brother can check if he can fix it as he has an autosound shop nearby. When he has it checked I will try to get some info and post it. By now all I can advice when you open it is checking all wire connections and looking for rust on some of them due to damp. Check also antenna connection.
Re: Have anyone repaired an old stereo (1970)?
Do you have the AM/FM stereo or the AM/FM mono radio?
Re: Have anyone repaired an old stereo (1970)?
If the car has four speakers, it's a stereo car. The FM dial should also have a lighted "STEREO" indicator when a stereo FM station is tuned in. First off is to check your amplifier, located under the dash behind and to the left of the glove box. If that's shot, the FM radio will behave much as you describe, but AM will come in perfectly (ask me how I know). Other than that, you would have to check connections inside the radio itself, which is something I would leave to a professional.

Skip to comments.Californians not paying required taxes on Web purchases
Posted on 12/08/2010 6:16:07 PM PST by SmithL
An estimated $1.145 billion in use tax owed by Californians goes unpaid each year, according to an estimate released today by the state Board of Equalization.
BOE noted that much of the unpaid total is the result of consumers purchasing from out-of-state retailers not required to collect California tax. Many of those purchases are made online or via catalog orders.
BOE said the use tax owed is the same as the sales tax that would be due if the purchase were made from an in-state retailer. BOE said it is reminding holiday shoppers to save receipts, calculate the use tax due and make the appropriate payments to the state when they file tax returns.
(Excerpt) Read more at sacbee.com ...
Screw the state of Kalifonikation-
That is why I shop on the web!
Screw that. The "use tax" is indicative of the greedy mindset of government
"is reminding holiday shoppers to save receipts, calculate the use tax due and make the appropriate payments to the state when they file tax returns."
Yeah, right. Compliance rate will be 1%?
I thought the liberals in California want to pay more taxes?
Ha ha!
Please God get me out of hell.
Or what?
Oh, sure. No problem
Remember, it's not YOUR money!
It's THEIR money!
Sounds rather George Orwellian-like, '1984'.
As of now they have no real way to monitor purchases but from what I understand after 1/1/11 CC companies will be turning over records of out of state purchases to the State Franchise tax board.
No no.....liberals say 'more taxes for thee but not for me'.
Sure, I'll get right on it.
Screw NY too...I only buy big ticket items online or in Delaware w/ no sales tax.
A question has appeared on the state income tax form for several years asking about out-of-state purchase amounts for use taxes.
I found it very confusing and answered none, of course.
after 1/1/11 cash rules.
It is much better to pay shipping costs rather than pay CA sales tax and to pay the higher prices of the companies that also pay higher taxes. Starve the beast.
Use taxes are pretty much in every state, not just California.
More like 'tax abuse'.
States cannot legally require out-of-state retailers to act as their collectors.
How can that be? It's simply a personal integrity issue.
If true about credit card companies, what about PayPal? I make a lot of purchases online that get paid via PayPal, which then charges against my credit card. The credit card company doesn't know what I purchased. Would PayPal be forced to reveal their records to the state bureaucrats?
Conditions ripening for lucrative black market.
Just because they're common doesn't mean they're necessarily a good thing. The justification offered by the state that CA retailers lost out on a sale so the state must take tax revenue as an offset is preposterous.
They want you to pay the difference even items you paid the local sales tax on when you bought the item out of state. Buy a stuffed animal out of state as a souvenir? Pay sales tax in state of purchase, then pay CA for the privilege of gifting it to your child by paying use tax equal of the difference between CA's sales tax and the other state's.
The highest sales tax in CA is, I think, Pico Rivera in L.A. County. It's 10.75%.
It's also available in Español.
Where did you get this information? I could not locate any California or nationwide regulation/rule/law stating this.

There are several signs of dehydration you should be looking out for including:
- Thirst
- Dry mouth
- Decreased urine or urine is dark yellow/orange color.
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Fever
- Increased heart rate
- Decreased blood pressure
- Dry skin, lack of sweating
- Constipation
Thirst alone is a poor indicator to determine if you're thirsty. To avoid dehydration follow these guidelines:
- Sedentary women and men should consume approximately 9 to 13 cups per day respectively.
- Drink an additional 8 ounces of water for every 25 pounds you carry above your ideal weight.
- Consume 2 to 3 cups of water two hours before exercise.
- Drink 6 to 12 ounces of water for every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise.

- Summary

In Killing Floor 2, players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech's failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum. Just one month after the events in the original Killing Floor, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray. A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate the dangerous creatures rampantly destroying mankind.
Delivering an even more visceral and viscera-spewing shooter experience than the original, Killing Floor 2 ramps up the gore with a proprietary, high powered persistent blood system bringing new levels of fidelity to the genre. Players will send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as they wade through hordes of enemies. But they need to watch out! If caught, enemies will rip them, and their entire party, limb from limb. New enemies and fan favorites from the original game are back with expanded and smarter artificial intelligence, dishing out powerful attacks, working as a group to weaken the player's party and pushing the challenge level and fear factor to new levels.

It was right to check a small detail, which in fact is very important for maintaining.
In the Vista performances of my Hdd is noted 5.8 whereas under seven it has only 3.
Can that come owing to the fact that under Vista it is a principal partition whereas under seven it is a logical partition?

New Breed of African Leader
Rotberg, Robert I., The Christian Science Monitor
The failed and failing states of sub-Saharan Africa - including Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Zimbabwe - attract the most attention. But a quiet renaissance of positive leadership is taking hold in the region, including the Islamic northeast.
The dominant personalities in such battered places as Somalia and Somaliland are firmly on the side of the United States, and ready to be helped in rebuilding their states. No state in Africa now seeks to harbor terrorists; better rewards are to be found in alliance with the developed world.
In Botswana, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania, basic human rights are being respected, and there's a promise of better times. After a year of principled leadership, Ghana is in the vanguard of change. If Ghana's gains can be sustained, West Africa will have another model to help transform a neighborhood characterized by fractiousness and meltdown.
Nigeria is a problem case. As Africa's most populous and historically most poorly governed place, its turn to democracy in 1999 seemed dramatic. But President Olusegun Obasanjo has been unable to lead the nation in a wholly positive direction. Too many of Nigeria's Muslim-dominated states have thumbed their noses at the central government. So democratic rule is a phenomenon of the center only, not of the states.
When the ingredients of visionary leadership are lacking, the stew of governance tastes sour. When they are richly available, everyone prospers and AIDS and other scourges seem survivable. The US and UN need to craft new policies to support and encourage responsible leadership skills among elected officials across sub- Saharan Africa.
In South Africa, Nelson Mandela demonstrated leadership without bullying. As president, he was an inclusionist who convinced black South Africans from all backgrounds, as well as coloreds, Indians, and whites, that he was everyone's champion and that he sought a peace dividend for them, not for himself.
Neighboring Botswana, thinly populated and mostly desert, has been an oasis of steady, open rule for more than 35 years. Even before it became the world's greatest producer of gem diamonds, Botswana was well-run. It endured insults and occasional blows from apartheid South Africa, ignored the collectivist and authoritarian fancies of nearby Zambia and Tanzania, and concentrated its energies not on personal enrichment but on encouraging middle-class empowerment amid old-fashioned liberal values.
Festus Mogae, Botswana's president, had excellent role models. His predecessors were participatory, sensible, and focused on what was good for their peoples, not for themselves and their families. Sir Seretse Khama, Botswana's first president, had the charisma and stature to have gone either way. …

'First Take': Concerned about Cam Newton?
September 21, 2012
On Friday, "First Take" discussed Cam Newton's performance against the Giants. Newton threw three interceptions and rushed for only six yards in Thursday night's loss to the Giants, giving him five interceptions on the year. Skip Bayless says fans should definitely be concerned, as he considers this loss the worst of Newton's young career. Stephen A. Smith believes it's more about Newton's supporting cast than the quarterback himself. What's your take?

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan authorities have formally charged eight suspects in the kidnapping of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos.
Prosecutors say the charges include kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, using a stolen vehicle and criminal association.
Those charged include six men accused of directly participating in the abduction, as well as a 59-year-old woman and 74-year-old man who are charged as accomplices for allegedly providing food to the group.
Ramos was seized at gunpoint outside his family's home in the city of Valencia last week and was rescued by police commandos two days later at a remote hideout in the mountains of Carabobo state.

Byte-Sized Gains: Digital Sales Add To Awards Show Haul
By Ann Donahue
The Grammy Awards sales afterglow is burning brightly, with Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black," Herbie Hancock's "River: The Joni Letters" and the official "2008 Grammy Nominees" album resonating with buyers the week after the awards show.
"Black" jumped 24-2 on the Billboard 200, selling 115,000 copies, almost a 370% jump from the prior week, while the Grammy nominees album saw a 40% gain to No. 4 on strength of 72,000 in sales.
The biggest percentage jump, however, went to Hancock's "River," which leapt an astonishing 967% to round out the top five. The album of the year winner moved 54,000 copies.
"I think when you win album of the year, you always get some kind of significant jump," says Bruce Resnikoff, president/CEO of Universal Music Enterprises, Verve's parent company. "But what really happened here is that the retail world saw it as a great jazz album, and now it's being promoted much more effectively as a wonderful album, instead of being pigeonholed."
Also holding strong was Alicia Keys' "As I Am," which remained at No. 3, but tallied a 36% increase in sales to 109,000 this week.

Two books take pulse of once-great Detroit
Performing in November at the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit, Madonna - a Michigan native who was raised in the Detroit suburbs - told the crowd how good it was "to be back home." "Detroit is having a comeback," she enthused. "I can feel it in my bones!"
As a native son of this once-proud city, I fervently want to believe that Madonna is right. »Read Full Article(1)

News Fit to Print. (Media/Politics)
Jones, Terry, St. Louis Journalism Review
Scholars and think tanks love to crunch numbers. And their numbers can provide citizens with useful information about how their metropolitan area or state is performing, both absolutely and relatively. The local media have only been tapping a small portion of this output, but the May 2 St. Louis Post-Dispatch was an instructive exception. It had two front-page stories based on national studies, one on black-white differences in mortgage rates and the other on public-university tuition.
Neither had much good to say about St. Louis or Missouri. The home financing study, titled "Risk or Race" and released by the Center for Community Change, finds that the St. Louis region leads the nation's metropolitan areas in racial disparity on high-interest mortgage loans.
Local blacks are six times more likely to incur such disadvantageous loans than are whites--twice the already disturbing three-to-one ratio for the entire United States.
"Losing Ground," issued by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, reveals that the cost of college, especially public institutions, is rising much faster than is family income. Missouri is a leading culprit in making higher education less affordable for its residents and, with the state's recent budget problems, its standing is apt to slip even more.
For every one of these index-based stories covered by the St. Louis media, however, there are many not mentioned. Visiting just one of the think-tank websites, the Brookings Institution Center for Urban and Metropolitan Studies, finds several relevant studies completed within the past year.
Here are two examples:
"Growth Without Growth: An Alternative Economic Development Goal for Metropolitan Areas" puts the St. Louis region in a positive light. Authored by Paul Gottlieb, a Case Western Reserve University economist, the study questions whether more jobs and a greater population is the only, or even the best, way to chart a region's economic progress. Perhaps a better goal is higher per capita income.
Can a region have income growth without job growth? Gottlieb's analysis says yes. The nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas fall into four almost equal groups--those with above average income growth but below average population increases; those with the reverse, below average income hikes and above average population growth; and those which are above the median on both or below on each.
Gottlieb calls the first group "wealth builders" and St. Louis finishes first-that's right, numero uno--in this category. Between 1990 and 1998, the region's per capita income, adjusted for inflation, went up 2.11 percent annually while, at the same time, population rose 0. …

Time for a New Trope
Donlon, J. P., Chief Executive (U.S.)
CNBC's "Street Signs" asked me to appear on their program commenting on a Slate.com article, "The CEO Real Estate Scam," in which the author, Michelle Leder, expressed outrage that some companies were offering their CEOs "loss protection" and "price protection" based on the value of their homes.
Anchor Erin Burnett, who is also CNBC's co-anchor of "Squawk on the Street," led off by playing to Leder's outrage that CEOs-who can afford it-are given a perk that the average person who is being hurt by falling house prices cannot also enjoy. Leder was indeed infuriated and said so several times. When my turn came I was asked the typical when-have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife question. "Don't you find it infuriating, etc."
I replied that while many perks are open to abuse, not all perquisites are created equal. When attracting a CEO from another company it often makes sense to offer packages that take care of various benefits he or she might otherwise be forced to forego. Indeed, house protection would be cheap as perks go. It hardly rises to the level of Dennis Kozlowski's toga parties or the notorious $6,000 shower curtains, not to mention the use of company jets, Knicks courtside season tickets or daily fresh cut flowers for his New York apartment bestowed upon Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, parent company of CNBC. …

About this Business
- HoursSun-Fri10:00 AM - 6:00 PMSatClosed
From Our Editors
Things have changed a bit since DTLA Bikes first opened its doors in 2009. The store began as a small basement shop with around 20 bicycles for sale along with a handful of basic accessories. Over the next few years, the business rapidly expanded to the point where the full-service facility now features more than 1,500 bikes in stock and a collection of parts and accessories that includes, among other things, gloves, helmets, lights, locks, and Babe Ruth rookie cards to put between the spokes. DTLA Bikes also employs two full-time mechanics, who are capable of performing tune ups as well as major repairs. Another major feature within the store is its indoor track, which allows customers to test ride anything from a mountain bike to a commuter bike.

"The experience of time is what we make of it and the more we live in the NOW the more we can benefit from this magical illusion."
"The beginning and first step to happiness, is, to start thinking, that it is NOT systematically the mistake of others..."
"All in all, time really seems to be a personal consideration and the HAPPIER we are, the LESS we are BOUND to this consideration, so the experience of TIME CHANGES too..."
"That the ultimate goal for anyone and any group should be, LOVE, granting others TO BE, KNOWLEDGE and most of all TRUTH. Real HONESTY and TRUTH, towards others and most of all yourself seems to be the key to freedom and should therefore be our ultimate "Religion"."
"You are NOT helpless, outnumbered or exposed… you never have been! All actions are sparked by a simple "thought" and are enacted with a "decision". By informing yourself and sharing something you are no longer helpless and have already sparked an action to effect or change. You simply cannot be "outnumbered" as you are NOT a "number" and you can only be "exposed" if you are hiding or ignoring to start with…"
"When something seems confusing or does not seem complete… that is because it is a lie or it's planned that way in order to make you feel smaller or inadequate to have an opinion. Nothing, absolutely nothing should be difficult or impossible to make sense of!"
"Sometimes when something scares us or makes us feel uneasy, it's because we actually believe there is something true about it… Don't let it drive you away or hide, embrace the feeling and continue to inform yourself to the point you are no longer scared or are put at unease by the subject."

Tina Brown's Morning Routine
"You know, it was very funny — when I looked at the document of sale, it was like the vestiges of the great galleon it had been. It was like that wreck of the Titanic in the James Cameron film — they're swimming through the rooms, and you see the chandeliers. Every so often, you would swim around a corner and see a chandelier — things like private dining. You suddenly realize, this was an era when there were things like private dining rooms."
—Tina Brown talks with Michael Kinsley about the fall of Newsweek, the old days of magazine publishing, the future, and the internet. Also about David Petraeus, money, Twitter, and "disgusting, sexually incontinent gargoyle[s]." It's great.

Jeffrey Koconis lives in the small village of Jackson, Wisconsin with his two cats, Lover Boy and Sassy Girl. He has a B.S. degree in K-12 Art Education from UW-Whitewater and worked for over 33 years as a manager in the logistics industry.
In his home studio he currently makes pottery, draws portraits and paints, and is creating a cartoon strip based on his life as a forced into retirement baby boomer in today's uncertain world.
Writing has always been a passion of his so he is now venturing into the world of story telling, as much for his own pleasure as for those who enjoy his friendly flowing style.
His first book, " The Trip-A True Karmal Korn Adventure", takes the reader along on an adventurous quest he personally experienced during his college years when the country was in the turmoil of the Vietnam War. It is a brief snapshot of history as seen by two young travelers who are learning about themselves while finding out how they are perceived through some harsh realities on the road.
Humor and love are blended with fear and hatred in this true tale of coming of age.

This is exciting to watch!!!!
After investors saw this preview of what higher rates can do I think the number of uninformed investors has declined significantly. The only investors not feeling any sense of caution are the simpletons as can be seen by the mindlessness of more recent post. Cautious investors don't cause rapid run ups. This is what would be termed as a lower high in a down trend I believe. I still think that the short side has lower risk long term. But I won't short. I'm still waiting for rates to peak as I believe that a buy at that time is the most conservative strategy.
Right now I sense that being on either side of the trade would be best characterized as reckless. Shorts were doing good but BB has made that strategy less certain in the near term. But longs do not have it easy either because the eventual tapering is like a storm cloud on the horizon. When you expect rain you look for shelter. There are always those who will stand out in the rain but we all know what we call them. This analogy fits well. It is that it takes a little more intelligence to know if you are standing in the rain when investing and from what I see here on yahoo that many don't seem to have it. Or maybe its just that a higher percentage of people of low IQ post. As I cannot believe that the bulk of investors are this lame.
I believe that it is possible to make money on mREITs with very low risk when investing during the right part of the interest rate cycle. I know because I did. However this is not the right part of the cycle. There are other investments that are more appropriate for this period of the monetary policy. Bonds or bond like investments should be avoided now. I can guarantee that everyone who fights this trend with significant amounts of money involved will never do it again after this cycle. But I don't think that it is necessary to learn the hard way. But for some maybe it is because they do not have the analytic thinking skills to predict future outcomes.
I have been long AGNC for awhile now and am still trying to determine whether I buck and ride out the impending storm we have ahead or sell it all for a small loss and walk away for now.
For anyone riding out the storm I have this question. Have any of you considered downside protection in the form of short term puts?
Back to $36 and beyond. Piece of cake.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
back to $35.00
It won't go very much higher. In case you don't remember as far back as yesterday, this is still being pumped up by QE, which will eventually end. Enjoy the good day while it lasts. Performance of Agency RMBS today says that AGNC is still burdened by an upward interest rate trend.
with the fed doing a back track, look for the good ole batesat to come into play. will make high end options not so depressing now. Man, bought the 29's and 30 day before big Ben put the kabosh on things. Oh well, perhaps they will turn around.
Over 8% now. Going strong. :)
Flirting with 9%
8.5% Woooo
Going to the 30's.
This was the long needed correction. Ben's comments are what caused the downward trend, so I'm thinking/hoping that the upward trend continues.
It will continue only as long as Ben keeps his mouth shut. That, I feel, is quite unlikely given that he's going to testify in front of two congressional committees next week. I'm thinking there's a 90% chance he'll send the mREIT market into another tailspin with one of his well conceived comments regarding the death of QE.
One thing you can be fairly sure of is that AGNC will experience violent moves in both the up and down directions over the next few months, and end up pretty much where we are now. Enjoy the ride.
I think we'll continue to see this trend. This is awesome.
The trend is still down, the stock hasn't even broken the 20MA, lets not get too happy until it breaks the 20MA and stay above it. This down trend is far from over until then!

O summer... Celebrate with us the sweet joys of fruits and the luscious crunch of vegetables.
Healthy Summer ProduceFor anyone who enjoys food and cooking, summer offers the finest ingredients—fresh local produce from the garden, farmers' market, and grocery—to make any dish superlative. The key is to keep things simple and let the quality of seasonal ingredients shine through. It's so easy, enjoyable, and affordable to indulge your cravings for fresh fruits and vegetables this time of year.
PeachesThe state fruit of Georgia, peaches are in season from May to late September. To select, look for fruit that is firm; with a taut, unblemished skin; and no signs of bruising or wrinkles. If you smell peaches when you walk up to the stand, you know they are ripe.
• Peach Mojitos
• Grilled Peaches Over Arugula with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto
• Grilled Sirloin Skewers with Peaches and Peppers
• Peach Chutney
• Peach Ice Cream
See More: Our Favorite Peach Recipes
WatermelonYou can find fresh watermelons between May and September, but they are at their peak from mid-June to late August. To select, choose a firm, symmetrical, unblemished melon with a dull rind, without cracks or soft spots, that barely yields to pressure. Some people swear by the "thump" test, but experts say that method is unreliable for determining ripeness. Rather, look for a pale yellow patch, indicating where the watermelon sat on the ground while ripening on the vine.
• Watermelon Margaritas
• Summer Pea, Watermelon, and Farro Salad
• Watermelon-Jalapeno Ice Pops
• Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast with Watermelon-Jalapeño Salsa
• Flank Steak with Grilled Mango and Watermelon Chutney
See More: All About Melons
PlumsA plum's skin is tart and a little rough, yet its flesh is sweet, soft, and juicy. When you cook plums, something magical happens. The sweetness of the flesh, tartness of the skin, and spectrum of colors come together in harmony. To select, feel for plums that yield slightly to the touch; but don't squeeze them. Let the fruit sit in your palm. It should give a little. If you buy firmer fruit, though, don't put it in the refrigerator or the kitchen window—put it in a paper bag in a dark place for a day or two. After the plum is picked, the sugar level remains the same, but the acidity falls, so it only seems sweeter.
• Pork Patties with Plum Sauce and Napa Cabbage Slaw
• Roast Pork Tenderloin with Plum Barbecue Sauce
• Plum Kuchen
• Open-Faced Prosciutto and Plum Sandwiches
• Basil Plum Granita
See More: 7 Recipes for Plums
BasilThere are more than 60 types of basil, all members of the mint family. Basil is available year-round in supermarkets, but summer is the herb's best season. To select, look for basil that isn't wilted and doesn't have dark spots. And if you're growing your own, be sure to harvest it on a sunny day, as the sun will bring out the essential oils that won't be present otherwise.
• White Pizza with Tomato and Basil
• Coconut and Basil Steamed Mussels
• Purple Basil Lemonade
• Peach and Basil Shortcake
• Basil and Corn Farro Salad
See More: Use Your Basil Bounty
FigsKeep figs stored in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator's produce drawers, where moisture levels are higher. Figs require little work. Simply give them a good rinse, pat dry, trim the stems, and enjoy.
• Melon and Fig Salad with Prosciutto and Balsamic Drizzle
• Apricot-Fig Chutney
• Sheep's-Milk Yogurt Cheesecakes with Grilled Figs and Pistachios
• Honey-Baked Black Mission Figs with Orange and Ginger
• Prosciutto, Fresh Fig, and Manchego Sandwiches
See More: Fantastic Fig Recipes
TomatoesHeirloom is a term used to describe any tomato plant that's openly pollinated (by wind and bees) and has been cultivated for more than 50 years. Seeds from the best plants are saved at the end of the growing season for future use. They come in many shapes and sizes—from the two-pound beefsteak to cherry tomatoes as tiny as currants. Because they ripen on the vine and are not stored under refrigeration, heirlooms are more likely than hybrids to have succulent flesh. But they vary in texture, running the gamut from firm, and barely seedy to soft and moist. Some seem at once juicy and firm.
• Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Stack
• Mr. Stripey Tomato, Arugula, and Pancetta Sandwiches
• Chunky Tomato-Fruit Gazpacho
• Grilled Chicken Thighs with Roasted Grape Tomatoes
• Fresh Pea Salad with Radishes, Tomatoes, and Mint
See More: Heirloom Tomato Roundup
CornA type of grass, corn is a New World food. May through September is peak season. To select, a fresh husk is the number one thing to look for. Nice deep brown silk tips or ends mean it's ripe, but the whole silk shouldn't be dried up. Open the tip of the husk to see if the kernels are all the way to the end of the ear; kernels should be plump and milky when pinched.
• Grilled Pork Tacos with Summer Corn and Nectarine Salsa
• Chilled Fresh Corn Soup with King Crab
• Pinto, Black, and Red Bean Salad with Grilled Corn and Avocado
• Baked Tomatoes with Quinoa, Corn, and Green Chiles
• Shrimp and Corn Cakes with Heirloom Tomato Salsa
EggplantStore eggplant on the countertop—not in the refrigerator. Choose a spot that's away from direct sunlight. Choose a container that allows for circulation, like a vented bowl or perforated bag. Peeling a standard globe or Japanese eggplant is optional. Leave the skin intact for contrast, or remove it for a paler look.
• Grilled Eggplant Sandwiches with Red Onion and Aioli
• Falafel-Stuffed Eggplant with Tahini Sauce and Tomato Relish
• Cheesy Brown Rice Gratin with Zucchini and Eggplant
• Turkey Burgers with Roasted Eggplant
• Eggplant Crostini
ZucchiniSummer is the perfect time to savor just-harvested zucchini. It's peak season is June through late August, but you may see zucchini in markets in some regions year-round. With its slightly curved cylinder-like shape, this green summer squash is perfect for blending with other ingredients or in simple preparations highlighting the taste of fresh herbs. Because zucchini has a high water content, it doesn't require much cooking; raw, it adds nice texture to a salad of greens or a crudités plate. Like its yellow summer squash counterpart, zucchini is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and fiber.
• Persian Rice-Stuffed Zucchini with Pistachios and Dill
• Zucchini Angel Hair Pancake
• Grilled Zucchini with Sea Salt
• Stuffed Zucchini with Cheesy Breadcrumbs
• Zucchini Eggplant Lasagna
See More: Use Your Zucchini
Summer SquashUnlike winter squashes, such as butternut or acorn, summer squash has edible skin and seeds. The most common summer varieties are yellow squash (also called crookneck), pattypan squash, and zucchini. Whether you're gathering them from the backyard or from the supermarket produce bins, choose small, firm squashes with bright-colored, blemish-free skins.
• Summer Squash, Bacon, and Mozzarella Quiche
• Grilled Summer Squash
• Summer Squash Croquettes
• Mixed Greens Salad
• Potato Salad with Herbs and Grilled Summer Squash
BlueberriesOf all the popular summer fruits, blueberries have an advantage, nutritionally speaking. They've earned the distinction of one of the most potent source of antioxidants, which help counteract heart disease, cancers, and other types of illnesses. Blueberries are also full of fiber and high in vitamin C. To pick the best of the crop, look for powder-blue berries that are firm and uniform in size. Store them in a single layer, if possible, in a moisture-proof container for up to five days, and don't wash until you're ready to use them.
• Blueberry Thrill
• Fresh Blueberry Sauce
• Gingered Blueberry Shortcake
• Blueberry-Orange Parfaits
• Late-Harvest Riesling Sorbet with Berries

Graeme Swann felt England were rewarded for keeping a lid on growing tension during the fourth Investec Ashes Test before blowing Australia away on the fourth evening at the Emirates Durham ICG.
Chasing a target of 299 to keep the series alive, Chris Rogers and David Warner put on 109 for the first wicket before Swann removed the former for 49.
The off-spinner then trapped Usman Khawaja lbw but admitted arguments familiar to club cricketers across the land were bubbling under the surface before Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad stopped the Australian progress in its tracks and demolished the tourists' middle and lower order.
"There's a bit of tetchiness that starts to creep in," a jubilant Swann told ecb.co.uk after England secured a 3-0 lead in the five-match rubber.
"It's easy when things aren't going well to start looking at each other. You start looking at the pitch and going, 'why didn't our batters get more runs'; the batters are going 'why aren't our bowlers bowling as well as they did?'.
"That inevitably starts to creep in but it was only for a miniscule amount of time because as soon as we came out after tea I thought we were exceptional."
Sustained pressure came from both ends as Bresnan found extra pace and lift to remove Warner caught behind for 71 and Broad sensationally bowled Australia skipper Michael Clarke on his way to 6-50 and match figures of 11-121.
Swann pointed to the importance of those two wickets in the procession that followed
"I keep harking back to it but Stuart Broad does it when it really matters and he did it again today," he said.
"I think Bressie's wicket to get David Warner out was a bigger wicket because that opened both ends up for us.
"Michael Clarke is their best player; we know that, they know that. To get a delivery from Stuart Broad like that sends shockwaves through their dressing room."
As for the England dressing room, Swann was planning a long night in there among friends and painted a heart-warming picture of the scenes within.
"You're sitting up there with 10 of your best mates and you're laughing and smiling and joking and taking the mickey out of each other," he added. "It's a wonderful place to be."

Baked Matcha Earl Grey Donuts with Fruity PebblesJanuary 14th, 2016
Baked donuts are one of our favorite recipes to work with- not only are they a healthier version to their fried counterparts, but the possibilities for flavors and toppings are almost endless! For this donut recipe, we paired two of our favorite tea flavors- Matcha and earl grey- to create soft, fluffy donuts that are packed full of flavor. The two tea flavors pair surprisingly well, and the fruity pebble topping adds a nice fruity crunch. Feel free to modify and experiment with different flavors and toppings- we're sure you won't regret it. Happy baking!
Makes 12 Donuts
Matcha Donuts
- 1.5 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha
- 1 stick butter (8 Tbsp)
- 8 Tbsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup soy milk or almond milk
Earl Grey Ganache
- 4 oz. white chocolate
- 3.5- 4 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1 earl grey tea bag (2 for a stronger ganache)
- Fruity Pebbles (to top)
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and Matcha together and set aside.
- Allow the butter to come to room temperature and stir until it is smooth and creamy.
- Whisk the sugar into the butter until it is well incorporated and the whole mixture takes on a white color.
- Beat the egg and add it in little by little until it is well incorporated.
- Begin pre-heating your oven to 350F.
- Add the milk into the sifted dry ingredients, mix gently, and then add the butter and sugar.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag. If you do not have a piping bag, you can also use a large gallon Ziploc bag and cut off a small portion of the corner.
- Pipe out the donut batter into greased donut molds and tap lightly on the counter to get rid of air bubbles and to flatten the batter. Do not overflow the molds, as the batter will rise.
- Bake in the oven for 11-12 minutes, lower the temperature to 325F, and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Let the donuts completely cool in their trays before transferring over to a work space.
- Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl.
- Pour the heavy cream into a small pot over low heat.
- Add the tea bag and stir the cream until it is lightly simmering. (about 2-3 minutes)
- Keep the tea steeped for another 30 seconds, then pour the earl grey cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate.
- Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted. If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, heat the mixture in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, and stir again.
- Let the ganache cool slightly.
- Carefully spoon the ganache onto the cooled donut and spread around until the top is coated.
- Take a small pinch of Fruity Pebble cereal, crush between fingers, and sprinkle onto the ganache immediately. Sprinkle some uncrushed cereal pieces to add more texture if desired. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to solidify the ganache.
- Once the ganache has hardened, take out of the fridge and enjoy!

Christmas Inspired: Matcha MacaronsDecember 17th, 2015
With less than ten days left until Christmas, many of us may still be on the hunt for those simple yet thoughtful last minute gifts. This year, instead of searching in stores or online, why not make something instead? These Matcha macarons are not only beautiful and delicate, but they also have a stunning green hue and a mild, unique flavor. We're sure many of you have heard of macarons being temperamental and difficult to make. Though those statements may be true, we found that they're not so difficult to make with a little patience and love (and our tips and tricks below).
Matcha Macaron Shells
- 1 Tbsp Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg whites at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg white at room temperature
Vanilla Buttercream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter; room temperature and soft
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Blend the almond flour, Matcha and powdered sugar in a food processor until the almond flour is very fine. If you do not have a food processor, sift the almond flour until only the larger pieces remain in the sifter. Measure the amount of large almond pieces using a tablespoon (should be about 4-5 Tbsp), and set aside. Re-sift that same amount until the larger pieces remain again. Repeat one more time. The larger pieces left in the sifter during the last run can be mixed back into the almond flour mixture. Then, sift the almond flour together with the Matcha and powdered sugar.
- Meringue: Using an electric mixer, beat the 2 egg whites (make sure they are at room temperature) on low until tiny bubbles cover the surface. Turn your mixer on medium and add in the granulated sugar little by little. The bubbles should be gone, and the entire mixture should be shiny, white and smooth. Once incorporated, turn the mixer on high and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the remaining egg white into the almond flour mixture until it forms a very thick paste.
- Once incorporated, gently fold in the meringue until well incorporated. This shouldn't take more than 25-30 folds (try not to over mix- this will deflate the meringue).
- Once the mixture has taken on a very thick and gooey texture, transfer to a piping bag. We found it helpful to only fill the piping bag half way, because this batter can get very messy and sticky. If you need to put the piping bag down, put it back in the bowl with the batter. The batter is very gooey and will spill out.
- Pre-heat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pipe small circles onto the parchment paper, about an inch apart, trying to make the circles as even as possible. You can even make shapes by using a slightly smaller opening for your piping bag (we tried making Christmas trees).
- Slam the baking sheet down on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles that may have been trapped in the batter. Then, leave the baking sheets out until the macaron shells are dry and their tops are no longer shiny (about 45 minutes). The shells should be dry to the touch, and not sticky.
- While the shells are drying, make the vanilla buttercream frosting. Using an electric mixer, mix the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the shells are dried, bake them for about 16-18 minutes, until the tops are firm and "feet" have formed at the bottom. If you have two baking sheets, bake them one at a time.
- Let them cool completely on their trays. Taking them off before they dry may result in the bottom getting stuck to the parchment paper.
- Once they are completely cooled, very carefully remove the shells, lifting up around the sides until the shells pop off.
- Transfer the vanilla buttercream filling into a piping bag and pipe a small amount onto the flat side of a shell. Find another shell most similar in size and sandwich them together. Repeat with other shells. The shells are very delicate, so make sure not to put too much pressure when assembling them.
- Decorate however you like, wrap with baker's twine, take photos, and give as gifts :- ) Happy Holidays!
*We used a vanilla buttercream filling, but you can fill with whatever you desire. We think a strawberry, raspberry, or black sesame buttercream would go great with the Matcha macaron too!
Aiya at the LA Tea Festival in Little TokyoDecember 16th, 2015
During the beginning of December, the Aiya team exhibited at the 5th annual Los Angeles International Tea Festival. It's always nice to exhibit at this show because we get to meet people that are local to us. Held at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo on December 5th and 6th, this was our fourth year in a row as a gold sponsor, and our first year with a larger 10×20 booth space. Normally held in August when it is hot and sunny, this December show had a slightly different vibe with chillier weather and more tea products geared towards the holidays.
Tons of familiar and well-known tea vendors filled the main hall of the Japanese American National Museum as well as the section right outside – with over 2000 attendees over the two days; this was definitely a busy show for us. We sampled out our new organic tea bag line (Organic Gyokuro/Organic Matcha Infused Sencha/Organic Matcha Infused Genmaicha), Matcha to Go, hot Ceremonial Matcha, and iced Matcha lattes, which were welcomed with kind words. It was our first time sampling our new tea bag line at this show, and people seemed to love them! Many commented on their flavors being very comparable to loose leaf tea, despite being a tea bag. Our convenient, single serving packets (Matcha to Go & Matcha Zen Café Blend) also seemed to be a major hit this year, with attendees fond of the idea of taking their Matcha (or Matcha lattes) on the go.
Looking back at last year's LA Tea Festival trade show recap blog post, we realize how far Matcha has come along. Just last year, we mentioned that Matcha was "on the rise" in popularity. This year, you couldn't turn a corner without seeing this powdered emerald green tea. 2015 was definitely a busy year for Matcha, and we hope that its popularity continues to rise throughout 2016 as well.

This Charming Man: It Is 20 Years since the Smiths' First Hit Transformed the British Music Scene. Jason Cowley on Pop's Antidote to Early Thatcherism
Cowley, Jason, New Statesman (1996)
To understand the impact Morrissey and his band The Smiths had on British popular culture when they first emerged in the autumn of 1983, one must first recall the atmosphere and mood in the country during that particular year. Margaret Thatcher, strengthened by victory in the Falklands war, had confidently defeated a weakened and fractious Labour Party in the summer general election; the energy of punk and new wave had long since dissipated; the pop charts were dominated by the pompous extravagance of Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and Culture Club; American influences were becoming omnipresent; and Kelvin MacKenzie's relentlessly vulgar Sun newspaper was a mirror in which the nation saw reflected its own base aspirations. In other words, Britain had not yet fully remade itself as a vibrant, cosmopolitan entity; it was still suspended uneasily somewhere between the hegemony of the postwar consensus politics that had led to the stasis and disenchantment of the mid-to-late-1970s, and the worst excesses of the That cherite counter-revolution. It was a bad time for all but the most triumphalist of the new right.
What was so intriguing about Morrissey, who is now 44, was his absolute rejection of the modern impulse for change. He was, unusually for a young aspirant rock star, a deeply reactionary figure, who, during the lonely years of his adolescence on a Manchester council estate, had created his own idiosyncratically nostalgic world-view. He was, emphatically, a Little Englander. His heroes were neglected actors like Charles Hawtrey (of the Carry On films), writers such as Thomas Hardy, or semi-forgotten former icons like the young Diana Dors, Viv Nicholson, Billy Fury or Sandie Shaw (all of whom he used as cover stars on his record sleeves).
Morrissey was interested in the lives of little people, those excluded from the affluence and bombast of the new Britain, and in literate eccentrics like Oscar Wilde and Truman Capote. He dressed, against the then trend for opulent display, with dishevelled flamboyance -- he wore flowing shirts and old jeans -- and he turned national health spectacles and hearing aids into fashion accessories. His hair, cut short at the back and sides, was worn in an extravagant quiff, like the French actor Jean Marais in Cocteau's Orpheus. His sexuality was ambivalent, he was whimsical, and his extraordinarily fluent conversation had a camp burnish.
The words he used in his songs -- handsome, miserable, gruesome, charming, blessed -- were unusual for the medium. To listen to his best songs today -- "This Charming Man", "There is a Light That Never Goes Out", "How Soon Is Now?" -- is to recall exactly how you felt and what you were doing when you first heard them. That power to prompt instant recollection is the undeniable attraction of even the most banal pop music.
Growing up in and around Manchester during the 1970s must have been a miserable and alienating experience. Bernard Sumner, the frontman of the band New Order, has since spoken of the boredom, of how everything in and around the city centre seemed to be in decay or actually falling down, how there was nowhere for ambitious young people from traditional-working-class families to go and nothing for them to do, and how it seemed to be raining all the time. The Manchester sound of the late 1970s, as exemplified by Joy Division and early New Order, was suitably cold and austere. It was music for mourning, perfect for a decaying post-industrial urban landscape.
YetMorrissey made of this same northern landscape a magical poetry. Through his simple, melodic songs, he achieved a peculiar alchemy in which the unkempt houses and darkened streets of the Whalley Range estate of his childhood were transfigured, becoming in the process places of romance and possibility. The recurring motifs in his songs were bus stops, darkened underpasses, double-decker buses, cemeteries and factory gates. …

Jenks schools pulls film deemed Islamophobic
Jenks Public Schools will no longer show a documentary film that suggests Islamic terrorists might have been behind the Oklahoma City bombing, after a complaint from a Muslim parent.
The History Channel film, "Conspiracy: Oklahoma City Bombing," examines a variety of conspiracy theories about the 1995 Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing, which killed 168 people.
"We're very happy about the decision," said Adam Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which worked with the parent in filing the complaint.

As a football franchise owner, as a businessman, as a stadium owner, as a HOF candidate. Art Modell has failed at all of these things. The streak continues.
Modell did not make the first cut from 15 to 10. Others left off the list of 10 were Tim Brown, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., Kevin Greene and Will Shields. The seven going to Canton are Larry Allen, Jonathan Ogden, Cris Carter, Warren Sapp, Bill Parcells, Curley Culp, and Dave Robinson.
Hall of fame final 10: Allen, Bettis, carter, Haley, Ogden, parcels, reed, sapp, strahan, williams — will be cut to 5.
— Jeff Legwold(@Jeff_Legwold) February 2, 2013
Modell was the owner of the Cleveland Browns from 1961-1995, until he moved his team to Baltimore where they became the Ravens. The Browns made 17 postseason appearances, including winning the 1964 NFL Championship under Art Modell's ownership. He owned the Ravens from 1996-2003 and saw his team win the Super Bowl in 2000. Financial troubles caused him to sell the majority stake in the team to Steve Bisciotti in 2003.
Modell was a Hall of Fame finalist one other time in 2001 and had been a semifinalist every year since 2004, with the exception of 2008.
Not making the cut from 15 to 10 — Brown, DeBartolo, Greene, Modell, Shields,

Hall of fame final 10: Allen, Bettis, carter, Haley, Ogden, parcels, reed, sapp, strahan, williams — will be cut to 5.
— Jeff Legwold(@Jeff_Legwold) February 2, 2013
Modell died on September 12th of last year at the age of 87 due to natural causes. The Ravens had dedicated this Super Bowl season to Modell with an "Art" patch on their jerseys among other vocal displays by players.
The Ravens will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII tomorrow evening.

This month we've ranked every position in the SEC over the last decade. Now, after ranking the coaches earlier this week, we come to a close with a look at the tight ends.
1. D.J. Williams, Arkansas (2007-10): You don't hear Williams' name much anymore, and there's no good explanation why. He has the most catches (152) and the most receiving yards (1,855) of anyone on this list. His 10 career touchdowns aren't too shabby, either. A three-time All-SEC choice with a John Mackey Award to his name and five-year career in the NFL, he has the résumé to lead this group.
2. Aaron Hernandez, Florida (2007-09): Off the field, he was a mess. On the field, he was one of the most talented tight ends we've ever seen. In three seasons at Florida, he had 111 catches, 12 touchdowns and 1,382 yards. As a sophomore, he helped lead his team to a national championship. The next year he won the John Mackey Award and was taken in the fourth round of the NFL draft.
3. Jacob Tamme, Kentucky (2004-07): If the Wildcats were on prime-time TV more often, maybe we'd view Tamme differently. But underrated or not, you can't ignore his career stat line of 133 catches, 11 touchdowns and 1,417 receiving yards. A back-to-back All-SEC selection, he set a school record for receptions by a tight end.
4. Hunter Henry, Arkansas (2012-15): There hasn't been a better tight end in college football, let alone the SEC, over the last four seasons. And while there should be time spent discussing how he was a complete tight end with the ability to block, his numbers are good enough to paint a picture of the three-time All-SEC player's productivity: 116 catches, nine touchdowns and 1,661 yards.
5. Evan Engram, Ole Miss (2013-16): Henry was the better blocker, but to be fair to Engram that's not what Hugh Freeze and the Ole Miss coaching staff are asking him to do. Rather, as part of the new wave of receiver-type tight ends, Engram has thrived by creating mismatches, catching 97 passes for 1,394 yards and seven touchdowns in the last three seasons. With his senior year still ahead of him, he could move up this list in a hurry.
Just missed the cut: Orson Charles, Georgia (2009-11); Steven Scheu, Vanderbilt (2012-15); Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn (2009-12)
