Chestnut Penne with Mushrooms
Roast some extra chestnuts and you'll be set to make these pasta classic.
Basic Louisiana Rice
This recipe will work with most long-grain rices, including Popcorn Rice. Save some of the fat skimmed from your chicken stock to perfume the rice with many wonderful flavors.
Herbed Spaetzle
Handmade, irregularly shaped dumplings may be served as a side dish, entree or spooned into soups and stews. They are soft and comforting.
Spicy Macaroni and Cheese with Tomatoes and Cracker Crumb Crust
This classic is made the old-fashioned way by first making a bechamel or cream sauce.
Southwestern Rice
A meatless entrée or a hearty family pleasing side, this rice recipe is as simple as opening cans.
Five-Spice Quinoa with Toasted Almonds
Five-spice powder is a seasoning that usually includes star anise, cinnamon, licorice root, fennel, and black or Sichuan pepper. It plays well against the slight nuttiness of quinoa, a grain that is rich in protein. Toasting the quinoa in a little oil adds a pleasing nuance of flavor. If the quinoa is sold in bulk or loose, I recommend rinsing it. If it's in a package, you may omit this step.
Peanutty Noodles with Seasonal Vegetables
Sauteed vegetables top a tangled of whole-wheat pasta, dressed with a creamy peanut sauce.
Lemon Angel Hair Pasta with Pine Nuts
Pine nuts are considered to be an aphrodisiac so make this lemon pasta a side of choice with whatever you are serving!
Pasta Salad with Vegetables, Walnuts and Fruit
This pasta salad has a unique combination of taste, texture and vibrancy with a blast of flavor and eye-catching colors.

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy my first bike soon (noob). I would be doing mostly neighburhood / soft trails riding. Thinking about buying a hardtail mountain bike. Planning to spend approx $300-500. I don't have the stomach for trying out a used one. I've realized that sticking with local bikes shop is the way to go. I've got a "specialized" dealer in town from where I'm planning to buy. I test rode a few and liked one called "hardrock". I want to know if spending more to get a disc brake is worth it? I've tried some in my price range and I felt the discs were noisy but smoother and didn't have the braking power of normal V calipers. Am I right..? I wouldn't be doing any serious off road / downhill racing anyway.
What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Sloppy Joe Pockets - not a horror movie
The title may sound strange, after I took photos my husband said they looked like scenes from a horror movie. Tomatoes to him look like blood. I thought they looked delicious. This recipe is from RR's magazine and it's part of the "no recipe zone." She posts pictures with text about a recipe and then you make it. You can get the recipe from her site. See the step by steps.
Sloppy Joe Pockets - not a horror movie
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped (I used a whole onion)
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (I used a pound)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound pizza dough (I used the pizza dough in a can)
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups)
Preheat the oven to 400°.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until cooked through and crumbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the pizza sauce and Worcestershire sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper and let cool.
Lightly grease a baking sheet. Divide the dough into quarters and, working with 1 piece at a time, roll out and stretch into an 8-inch round. Place the rounds on the baking sheet, with about a third of each round hanging over the edges of the pan.
Image from RR Magazine
Mound the turkey mixture onto each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top each with the cheese and then fold the dough over the filling; crimp the edges together to seal. Cut a small vent in the top of each pocket for ventilation.
Image from RR Magazine
Bake until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

On Snow Leopard, I can give access to services like SSH only to specific users by using the "only these users:" option in the sharing tab of the System preferences.
This is bothersome to use when configuring multiple machines, and some accounts such as the root user do not show up there, so I'd like to script it.
Is there a way to add access to given services to arbitrary users on the command line?

I talked to the seller and he doesn't know anything about the bike. It was his brothers from the 80s, and thats all he knows. I haven't seen it in person, but he tells me it is pretty dirty but the problems are mostly cosmetic. We'll see - I'm driving to check it out tomorrow, but in the mean time i was wondering if anyone could help me identify it - i know the picture is terrible. He says its a 500 series but he also says its titanium..
Assuming the bike is in decent condition, does $100 sound reasonable?
thanks guys.

Expected Spring 2016.
With the S2 Sport, Schuberth presents the newest addition to our line of premium lightweight, aerodynamic and aeroacoustic motorcycle helmets. This innovative, all-around helmet with integrated sun visor will appeal to sport, touring, and cruising riders alike.
The advanced ventilation system and integrated sun visor ensure comfort in any temperature day or night. The distinctive full circumference rim spoiler and molded back spoiler reduce drag and wind noise at higher speeds for a smooth ride. Setting the S2 Sport in a class of its own is the integrated antenna which optimizes reception for the optional Schuberth Rider Communication System (SRC).
Outer shell
-The outer shell of the S2 Sport comes in two helmet shell sizes for optimum fit, combining an aerodynamically optimal shape with excellent protection. It is manufactured using Schuberth's proprietary compression molding process resulting in exceptional stability and a light weight
-Shell material: S.T.R.O.N.G. fiber
-Helmet shell technology from SCHUBERTH results in low weight
-Pre-woven glass fiber material is compressed with a special resin in a high pressure heated vacuum mold to form the helmet shell which is exceptionally sturdy
Inner shell
-The protective layer of special EPS foam is injection molded into a single multi-density piece to ensure optimal shock absorption. This complex segmentation guarantees enhanced force absorption and distribution to maximize safety
-Made of specially optimized EPS foam
-Complex multizone foaming allows optimal shock absorption
Comfort Liner
-The special inner lining of the S2 Sport was developed according to the innovative Comfort Fit concept to ensure that the helmet fits comfortably and securely in all situations
-The combination of carefully selected COOLMAX and Thermocool materials and the additional use of Interpower coatings also make the inner lining a highly-effective moisture wicking and cooling system
-COOLMAX lining, completely removable and washable (hand wash, 80F)
-Optimized fit
-Variable for effective ventilation
-Adjustable for summer/winter conditions
-Removable comfort cheek pads and crown liner
Fastener system
-The S2 Sport is supplied with a race-proven double-D fastener system.
Reflective Materials
-The silver-colored appliques of reflective material on the neck collar of every SCHUBERTH helmet ensure that the motorcyclist can be seen better, especially in twilight or at night.
-Improved visibility = Enhanced safety
-Enhancement of the passive safety
-Early recognition by other road users
Face Shield
-Injection molded for optimal clarity
-Patented "turbulators" break up windflow to eliminate noise
-Pinlock visor included, eliminates fog through the sealed double-lens technology
-"City position" for maximum ventilation in slow traffic situations
Face Shield Mechanism
-The EasyChange mechanism makes removing and replacing the face shield extremely quick and simple
-No tools required
High-performance aerodynamics
-The S2 Sport is specially designed for a sport touring riding position to remain stable in the air flow. The special shape of the helmet shell and the full circumference spoiler along the rim of the helmet ensure enhanced down force. The S2 creates practically no upward lift, even at higher speeds. In addition, the S2 also offers high directional stability. The buffeting is also significantly reduced on naked bikes.
-Perfected aerodynamics
-Upward lift = 0!
-Directionally stable
-No oscillating
-No buffeting
Aeroacoustics of the S2 Sport
-A quiet helmet means active safety for the motorcyclist: this permits the rider to concentrate on riding - particularly at higher speeds.
-Many hours in the Schuberth acoustic wind tunnel have ensured that the S2 Sport is exceptionally quiet. The comprehensive acoustics package with optimized helmet shell, wind deflector and ergonomic shape of the neck padding make the S2 Sport - at 85 dBA - one of the quietest helmets of all.
-Aero-acoustics optimization for a helmet quiet
-Installation of a wind deflector enables the aeroacoustics and consequently the noise level to be improved still further.
-Only 85dB(A) at 60 mph (with naked bikes)
Innovative ventilation system
-The S2 Sport is equipped with an innovative Air Extraction System. The combination of multipath channels in the EPS foam liner and the head, chin and mouth ventilation ensure that fresh air is distributed efficiently throughout the entire head area. The fresh air which enters via the forehead ventilation is conducted through the inner shell's air channels well beyond the back of the head to the rear of the helmet. The low pressure prevailing at the rear of the helmet creates a siphon effect causing the interior air to be pulled in and extracted constantly through the air outlets and the special mesh fabric in the neck padding
-Head ventilation input (adjustable in multiple stages)
-Chin vent for targeted distribution of the incoming air in the helmet
-The S2 Sports powerful ventilation system
-Chin vent
-Variable pad system
-Face shield vent
-Adjustable top vent
-Active Air Extraction System
-EPS shell with ventilation channels
O2 ventilation
-In cold weather a helmet is sometimes sealed closed by hoods, scarves or neckerchiefs locking out the fresh air supply.
-The concentration of carbon dioxide inside the helmet is a key safety criterion for preventing symptoms of fatigue and the thinning of breathable air.
-No negative effects on health need be feared as long as the CO2 concentration remains below 3.5 %.
-The maximum level of CO2 concentration at the workplace is 0.5 %
-Even when the neck zone is sealed off by hoods, scarves or neckerchiefs, this helmet guarantees that the CO2 concentration remains below the 0.5% limit as from a speed of approx. 30 km/h.
-In cases where the helmet is completely sealed off by hoods, scarves or neckerchiefs, the face shield ought to be opened (city-travel position) for safety reasons when idling, for example at traffic lights, or travelling slowly.
SRC System ready
-The S2 Sport is by default equipped to accommodate the Schuberth S2 SRC System. To guarantee ideal radio reception for you, the S2 Sport is already equipped with two integrated antennas to boost reception and Bluetooth connection
-Optimum reception quality at all times
-Bluetooth antenna for wireless mobile, navigation and intercom connections to other SRC System owners
-The Anti-Roll-Off System (A.R.O.S.) especially developed and patented by SCHUBERTH is provided as a safety feature in every SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmet. It ensures that provided the chinstrap is closed and correctly adjusted: the helmet cannot pivot off the head from behind the risk of contact between the chin section of the helmet and the chin or throat of the rider is minimised due to the small angle of tilt and the consequences of the helmet coming into contact with the chest as the result of an accident are reduced. -The helmet also has Reflective areas which improve visibility in the dark and thus contribute to your safety.
Weight, standard and size
-Lightweight at only 1,565 grams (small shell)
-Ultra quiet at only 85 dba at 60 mph
-Available in sizes XS - XXXL (52/53cm - 64/65cm)
-The S2 Sport is certified with both the DOT FMVSS 218 and ECE-R 22.05 motorcycle helmet safety ratings. These certifications guarantee conformity to defined safety standards in respect of impact absorption, penetration resistance, lateral rigidity, retention system
Service Plan
-Schuberth is offering a special 3 year Service Plan on new S2 Sport helmets purchased in North America.

We will have to wait for a Republican White House before we seeing meaningful change on the issues that are important to employers.
Similarities in duties and pay between exempt and nonexempt workers should signal that exempt status is questionable and further scrutiny of the criteria for exempt status is warranted.
A handbook that is a binding contract might be worse than no handbook at all.
While I am not a fan of government mandates, we are woefully behind the rest of the world on paid time off for employees.
Employers using nondisclosure clauses should ensure that they are obtaining the maximum protection possible.
When presenting a restrictive-covenant agreement, make sure you've thought through any possible manner of breach you want to prohibit.
What should you do when an employee complains of harassment? I've shared these five steps before, but they are worth repeating.
Enforcing noncompete agreements are anything but routine, and their enforceability varies greatly from state to state.
If your business operates in more than one location, you cannot ignore this case or its implications.
Allen v. City of Chicago still is not a clear win for employers across the board.

Another photo of a second St. Paul cop crossdressing as a Muslim woman surfaces
Officer Jim Lee's 2010 Halloween costume is making waves more than two years later.
St. Paul cops apparently get their jollies dressing up as Muslim women for Halloween.
SEE ALSO: Downtown St. Paul has become a whole lot whiter over the past decade
Last Friday, a photo purported to be of St. Paul officer Jim Lee wearing a hijab and blackface mask was unearthed on Twitter. Just seven days earlier, a similar photo of St. Paul officer Robert Buth also made the social media rounds.
Buth apologized to "anyone who may have been offended" by his photo. Now, in the wake of the discovery of Lee's photo, which was apparently taken in 2010, the St. Paul PD is promising changes.
After a second photo surfaced this week of a St. Paul police officer dressed in a Muslim woman's clothing, apparently for Halloween in both cases, Police Chief Thomas Smith has ordered an internal affairs investigation and is planning changes in the department.
Smith said officers will be retrained in cultural matters. He also has recorded a message to be circulated department-wide about the oath of office that officers took, conduct unbecoming an officer, and the dangers of officers using social media.
"I don't care if they're on duty or off duty, anything that can reflect poorly on the image of this department or this city, it's not going to be tolerated," Smith said Friday, Feb. 8. "They can have private lives, but they're still officers and they have to earn that badge every day."
The photos were also denounced by St. Paul City Council member Melvin Carter.
"The actions of the officers depicted in these photos are offensive and embarrassing," Carter said in a statement. "Mocking culture, skin color and religion for a laugh may seem trivial, but any behavior that violates the sacred, essential trust between our officers and residents is reckless and inexcusable."
But St. Paul Police Federation President argues too much is being made of the photos (Titus, it should be noted, has a history of publicly supporting officers whenever they get in trouble).
In a statement, Titus said:
St. Paul police officers bring a level of professionalism to the job, as high as you will find anywhere in the country. Officers also have personal lives, just as any citizen. Halloween to most is about being something you are not, laughing at one's self and individual expression. Many Halloween customs could be considered offensive; that does not mean the custom was created with ill intentions. No disrespect was intended.

Bedlam baseball: Aaron Cornell's first home run of the season wins it
Oklahoma State's Aaron Cornell was even surprised with himself as he watched his first home run of the season sail over the fence.
Cornell ripped a three-run shot to left field in the eighth inning of tie game, lifting the Cowboys to an 11-8 victory over Oklahoma in a Big 12 Tournament elimination game at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
"It's funny, I didn't expect it out of my own self," Cornell said. "(I was) just going up trying to find a good pitch. Got a hanging curveball the first pitch, fouled it off. And then the next one was (the same pitch) a little bit lower and I put a good swing on it. When I hit it I knew. I haven't hit one like that I don't think all year."
The Sooners overcame two-run deficits in the first and seventh innings, before Cornell's shot put OU away for good. It was OSU's 25th comeback victory this season.
"Obviously it was a game of tremendous back and forth and ups and downs," said OSU coach Josh Holliday. "Probably the story of the night is Aaron Cornell's three-run homer. I'm proud of our team."
Brendan McCurry came on to pitch the final two innings for OSU and earn his 17th save of the season, extending his school records for saves in a season and career.
"I've done it before (pitching two innings), so it really wasn't that big of a deal to be honest," McCurry said. "I was on call from the seventh to the ninth. I was in no matter what if we got the lead."
Alex Hackerott got the win for OSU. Hackerott got the final two outs of the seventh inning after coming on in relief of Vince Wheeland, who had just given up a game-tying homer to OU's Mac James.
After a two-hour rain delay, the game began at 9 p.m. on Friday and didn't end until 12:30 a.m. on Saturday.
OSU (43-15) will now have to turn around and play Texas with first pitch scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The Cowboys must beat the Longhorns twice to make the championship game on Sunday.

Natural disasters such as hurricanes often impair delivery of essential
services, including electricity. When normal refrigeration methods are unavailable,
affected populations seek alternative means of protecting perishable foodstuffs.
One alternative is to use frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) (i.e., dry
In September 2004, in anticipation of a power outage during the aftermath
of Hurricane Ivan, a man aged 34 years in Mobile, Alabama, purchased a 100-lb
block of dry ice from a local ice house. The block of dry ice was divided
into four equal parts and packaged in brown paper bags, which were placed
in the front seat of the man's pickup truck. The windows were closed,
and the air conditioner was set to recirculate air inside the cab of the truck.
After driving approximately one quarter mile from the ice house, the man had
shortness of breath; his breathing difficulty increased as he drove the next
mile. The man telephoned his wife and asked her to call 911. He then pulled
his truck into a parking lot, parked, and lost consciousness. His wife drove
to the parking lot and located her husband's truck; immediately after
she opened the door to the vehicle, her husband began to awaken.
Emergency medical services personnel arrived soon afterward. They determined
that the man's vital signs were normal and he required no further medical
evaluation. Although the man complained of a headache for the next 24 hours,
he recovered completely.
Dry ice has a temperature of −109.3°F (−78.5°C)
and can be used to keep perishable foods cold.1 As
dry ice melts, it undergoes sublimation (i.e., direct conversion from a solid
into gaseous CO2, bypassing the liquid state). Improper ventilation
during use, transport, or storage of dry ice can lead to inhalation of large
concentrations of CO2 with subsequent harmful effects, including
death.1,2 Previous reports have
described illness and death caused by occupational exposures and unintentional
nonoccupational exposures to dry ice in enclosed spaces such as automobiles
and submarines.1,2
Under normal conditions at ambient temperature, CO2 is a
colorless, odorless gas and a simple asphyxiant that displaces oxygen when
inhaled. As the inhaled concentration of CO2 increases, more oxygen
is displaced from the lung alveoli, where gas exchange takes place. The central
nervous system (CNS) tightly regulates dissolved CO2 in the blood;
changes in the partial pressure of CO2 cause changes in the respiratory
rate. An increase in CO2 concentrations triggers an increase in
respiratory rate, causing further uptake of CO2, which can ultimately
lead to signs and symptoms of hypoxia and hypoxemia, including headache, confusion,
disorientation, and death. Respiratory and CNS changes can occur within seconds
of exposure to high levels of CO2, suggesting that the toxicity
of CO2 might be related to systemic effects that are not fully
Because CO2 is colorless and odorless, persons who transport,
use, and store dry ice must be educated about its potential dangers. Dry ice
should be kept in small quantities in an insulated "cold box"
or similar transport medium that is maintained at (-94.0°F (-70.0°C)
or in an open, well-ventilated space.3 Persons
with signs or symptoms of illness while exposed to dry ice should be moved
to an area with fresh air and provided with supplemental oxygen. Usually,
the long-term outcome for patients with mild-to-moderate CO2 poisoning
is excellent.
In the case described in this report, the man did not receive any warnings
from the ice house regarding the potential danger of CO2 exposure
from dry ice. If the air conditioner had not been set to recirculate air inside
the cab of the truck, the CO2 poisoning symptoms might not have
occurred. In addition, placing the ice in the bed of the man's truck
would have reduced exposure.

Most Oklahoma banks repay federal TARP money
Four of the five Oklahoma banks that accepted federal money doled out under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis have repaid those funds.
The lone exception, SpiritBank of Bristow, has proposed repaying the $30 million investment by the U.S. Treasury "through a different payment structure," said Joyce Madewell, SpiritBank executive vice president of marketing.
However, the Treasury plans to liquidate all of its Capital Purchase Program investments as soon as possible, Madewell said, "which would preclude the payment of this over time as proposed."
A regulator directed SpiritBank's parent company to defer dividend payments on the preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program, Madewell said.
SpiritBank, which has written off some bad loans and booked some losses, agreed earlier this year to reduce the bank's size to boost its capital position and increase the amount of money set aside for problem loans and assets.
Dudley Gilbert, Oklahoma Banking Department deputy commissioner, said SpiritBank "is progressing along with the terms of the agreement."
Serving its purpose
This month, Southwest Bancorp, the parent of Stillwater National Bank, repaid the $70 million it owed the Treasury.
Southwest Bancorp CEO Rick Green said the federal money imposed some burdens on the company but allowed the bank to maintain its strong capital position while coping with liquidity issues and loans that went sour.
"We believe that the purpose for which it was intended worked very favorably for us," Green said of TARP.
"We were always able to maintain a very significant amount of capital — well over the amount required to be viewed as well capitalized — even though we had experienced some pretty significant hurdles, particularly as it relates to commercial real estate."
Congress initially allocated up to $700 billion to fund the TARP program, but only about $416 billion was disbursed, with most of that going to bank support programs.
A U.S. Treasury report issued this week said $359 billion of that total has been returned in repayments, dividends, revenue from the sale of stock warrants and other income.
The Treasury Department has recovered more than it invested in bank support programs through repayments, dividends, interest and other income.
The agency estimates the bank program investments will produce a $20 billion profit to taxpayers.
Nationally, there were 309 banks with outstanding investments in the Capital Purchase Program as of July 31. Texas, for instance, still had 11 banks in the program, led by the $176 million investment by Laredo-based International Bancshares Corp. that operates numerous IBC Bank branches in Oklahoma.
Three other Oklahoma banks, which each took comparatively small TARP investments in 2009, repaid the funds last year. Grand Capital Corp., of Tulsa, parent of Grand Bank, received $4 million; Regent Capital Corp., of Nowata, received $2.7 million; and AmeriBank Holding Co., of Collinsville, received $2.5 million.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- When Maryland visits Duke on Saturday, it'll only feel like a nonconference game.
These longtime Atlantic Coast Conference basketball rivals are meeting in football for the first time since 2004. That's a result of the conference's expansion to 12 teams and its divisional split.
No player on either team has played against the other. Duke coach David Cutcliffe is warning his team not to be deceived by the Terrapins' losing record. He says Maryland just hasn't taken care of the ball in critical situations.
The Blue Devils (3-3, 1-2) have won two of three, while Maryland (2-5, 1-2) has lost four of five with the only victory a three-point home win against Clemson. The Terps haven't won away from College Park this season.

"A formerly closed city trying to get it's sea legs" Top 5 Page for this destination Sevastopol' by Dabs
Sevastopol' Travel Guide: 161 reviews and 411 photos
After arriving at the laughably small airport in Simferopol, we located our hotel arranged driver and headed to our hotel in Balaklava, 12km from Sevastopol. This driver was even crazier than the driver in Kiev, he swerved in and out of lanes, passed on up hills and down hills, all with Euro technopop blaring in the background.
Our Bradt Ukraine guidebook said about Balaklava that "Ukraine's rich and famous have recently discovered" it and that "they have their eyes on making this their own elite hideout". So you can imagine our surprise when we check into our room at the nicest hotel in town, having splurged on a balcony room and finding that our view was of a small inlet filled with Ukrainian military ships and the gravel mine across the street! I think there's a bit more work to do before anyone mistakes this for Cabo San Lucus....
In hindsight, I would not stay again in Balaklava, instead I would stay in Sevastopol and make Balaclava a daytrip. Balaklava's dining options were extremely limited, we spent a lot of time taking marshutkys and buses to get where we needed to go.
On our 2nd day in the Crimea, we hopped on a #9 marshutky and headed to 5km which is about halfway between Balaklava and Sevastopol. As it was a Sunday, the market area around 5 km was swarming with people and the entire market area was open, anything and everything you could possibly want to buy. After wandering through most of that, we hopped on a bus and headed towards the city center, with the help of a local we got off the bus near the Panorama, visited that, walked to Traktir, a local Ukrainian restaurant for lunch. We continued walking towards the harbor area, viewed some of the monuments, went on a 1/2 hour cruise through the Ukrainian and Russian ships that are docked there, walked back to Celanteno's for pizza and then caught a bus to get back to Balakava.
Our third day in Crimea was spent visiting the Khan's Palace and Chufut Kale cave city in Bakchysaray, about 1 hour away. Three days in this area was just about right, 1 day for Balaklava, 1 day for Sevastopol and 1 day for Bakchysaray. Once you are finished with your visit here, it's very easy to catch connecting buses to the rest of Crimea, we caught a bus from Sevastopol to Yalta which took about 1 1/2 hours.

Your description made me want to travel there.....
Excellent page! I also know Celentano! And the bus journey between Sevastopol and Yalta is awesome! I would very much like to return to Crimea.
Great page Kristi - very thorough tips and a strong sense of "being there with you". I loved the "Irish" breakfast, and was fascinated by your local customs tips, especially the water machine!
First of all, what is my Gizmo doing in the Ukraine?? Kristi, I don't know how you do it - what with Uah's, Marshrutkys, Bakhchysardy, Kvas and Hrvina and to top it off - squat toilets!!!
Your tips for getting around the city of Sevastopol are very thorough, Kristi. You sound like an old hand at this even though you don't speak the language....charades come in very handy at the most surprising moments!
Wow, Ukraine! Excellent tips - I thought they were avout my favourite dessert - Baklava, hehehe...but what a great trip you had! So enviable and happy for you...
Kristi, fabulous page with outstanding photos. Although I haven't been to Crimea yet, your page brings back many memories of our trips through the Ukraine. I also like Pizza Celentano and I think we once saw one of these water machines still in operation.
useful tips, i hope to use some soon
I was looking forward to reading one of your Ukraine travel pages, thanks for the very interesting tour! I hope you'll get a better Irish breakfast in Dublin ;o)
Wonderful page and thanks for the great tips. Looks like you had a good time exploring.

Personally I prefer Ouidad's products because they are more concentrated, and they seem to "understand" my hair. However, not all of them at CG Friendly, so you'll want to double check the ingredients. I love
Ouidad's Co-wash
, and
Ouidad's new Whipped Curls Moisturizer
is fantastic!
Here are the ingredients:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetyl Esters, Polyquaternium-37, Lanolin, Hydrogenated Olive Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride, Amodimethicone, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Ceteareth-20, Lauryl Glucoside, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, PPG-26-Buteth-26, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Benzophenone-4, Trideceth-12, Cetrimonium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, DMDM Hydantoin, Triethanolamine, Benzyl Salicylate, Fragrance/Parfum
The Tress Effects Styling Gel is CG friendly, and, for me it has a longer lasting less crunchy hold than Deva's - even the newest one.

Surprise pregnancy and then miscarriage
Dana-30 DH-34 DD-born 11/18/11
5 m/c: 11/09, 1/10, 3/10, 8/10, 6/13
:( I can't even imagine trying to process all of this. Just want to give you a hug and say I'm so sorry for your loss.
"If my husband's balls are really that soulful, he should be singing Otis Redding while we bang. All I get are some grunts & light wheezing because smoker." -noknownalias
I purposely got pregnant in June and then had an early miscarriage (my 3rd, had 2 before my daughter). It was a complete roller coaster of emotions. We had went back and forth for years, then finally decided to try, got pregnant first month, only to miscarry soon after. It's a lot to process. I too felt excited to be pregnant, then scared, then sad and relieved to miscarry.
At first I thought there was no way I'd go through that again, but now I'm not so sure.
As scary as it all is, in my heart I still do want another child.
If you haven't already you may want to get yourself checked out (blood work, structural ultrasounds, etc.) to see if they can find any cause for your miscarriages. I've decided to hold off on any testing just yet but it might help to ease your mind?
SAHM to two crazy girls - DOB 4/10 & 6/14
I do have an appointment scheduled to talk with my OB about further testing. I suspect I might have some scar tissue causing problems from my C section(I had to have a vertical incision) and perhaps from my previous D&C. I also do have a mild blood clotting disorder, but it has never caused a problem before. Perhaps it is now. I am hoping if we find something it might help us with our decision regarding continuing to try or not. I'm not sure I have it in me to go through this emotional roller coaster again. My Grandma had five miscarriages and I have a new respect for how strong she is.
Thanks again for all the support and kind words. Your support helps more than you know.
((HUGS)) I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
I decided that I wanted to stick to having an only after a miscarriage. ITR to that feeling of being so sad, and yet also that strange sense of relief. I am an older mom, so didn't feel like I would be ready to attempt PG again any time soon, which sort of sealed the deal. If I'd had a few more years, things might have changed, but it's hard to say.
At this point, just take care of yourself. Grieve your loss as you need to, and give yourself a few months to heal. Your heart will tell you when you're ready to go in one direction or another.
I have no words of wisdom or advice but know your in my thoughts. Big hugs to you.

Theres hope. There's enthusiasm. And yes, there is a little dread knowing post-practice gassers are waiting.
But high school football is here.
Were ready to get going, Union County coach Andrew Zow said, echoing the thoughts of many of his peers. Really ready.
With workouts allowed to officially begin today, here are five items to watch for as the preseason kicks off.
New big guys: Two of the areas largest players also are among the most inexperienced. Palatka senior tight end Keyshawn Hamilton (6-foot-9, 270 pounds) and Bradford freshman offensive lineman Justin McBride (6-8, 335) have yet to play a down of varsity football. However, both have basketball backgrounds that have provided each with nimble feet. Hamilton turned heads recently at UFs Friday Night Lights, while McBride has the potential to be a future high school All-American, according to Tornadoes coach Steve Hoard.
QB guru: Gainesville High Schools new quarterback Ryan McGriff will be tutored this year by former Gator great Shane Matthews. Hurricanes coach Ryan Smith said Matthews addition to the GHS staff was just made official. Another former Gator, Mike Nattiel, will be coaching the linebackers.
Ready Ram: Eastsides Harold Hoskins is one of the areas top returning players Smith and players from Palatka raved about the speedy quarterback at The Suns recent media days. Hoskins has gotten a few Division I looks at quarterback and safety, and where he plays in college could depend on how he does behind center as a senior. Teams are wanting to evaluate him throwing the ball more this fall, EHS coach Kent Johnson said. Right now, hes pretty much listed as an athlete.
Streak busters?: Interlachen has lost its last 20 games, but look for that unenviable streak to end quickly this season. The Rams showed tremendous improvement in 2008, allowing 24 less points-per-game last year than in 2007, and coach Ron Whitehurst said summer workouts have provided encouragement. With that said, expect the Class 2B Rams to open 1-0 with a victory at Orlando Agape Christian (0-10 in 1B last year) on Sept. 4.
Junior alert: The area is loaded with talented seniors, headlined by GHS linebacker Kevin Nelson (Miami commitment) and Columbia running back Tiger Powell (South Florida). Many other undecideds like Hurricanes defensive back Devont'a Davis, Williston running back Deonte Welch, Lafaytette quarterback Nick Bracewell, Tigers linebacker Brach Bessant and Hoskins will be among many others worth keeping close tabs. But ask recruiting analysts and theyll tell you the areas No. 1 prospect is Columbia junior defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan. Tigers coach Craig Howard has worked with Jernigan just one season and already says the 6-foot-3, 280-pounder with 4.6 40-yard dash speed is the best hes ever coached at the position. Imagine how good hell be with two more years of work.

Race for Caspian Treasure Intensifies
Smith, Pamela Ann, The Middle East
Pamela Ann Smith reports on how a new oil find off the coast of Kazakhstan has spured international internation investors.
Turkey is keen to reduce the flow of oil tankers through the Bosphorus.
The discovery of one of the world's largest oil fields in the Caspian Sea has led to renewed international interest in a region that has witnessed intense power rivalries for more than a century. The current high world oil price is also fuelling global investment in the surrounding countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, underlining once again the impact future developments in the area are likely to have on the Middle East and OPEC oil producers in the coming decades.
The field, known as Kashagan, lies in the north-west Caspian off the coast of Kazakhstan and is reported to cover an area 75 kilometres long by 35 kilometres wide. Drilling began this year under the auspices of its concessionaire, the Offshore Kazakhstan International Operating Company (OKIOC).
William Zempolich, the company's head of exploration said in October that preliminary results suggested it was "one of the largest discoveries made in the past 30 years". General manager Keith Dallard added it was "much, much bigger than anything we've seen in the North Sea".
While OKIOC, whose partners include such big oil multinationals as ExxonMobil, British Gas (BG), Royal Dutch/Shell, TotalFinaElf and Phillips Petroleum, is reluctant to estimate the size of its potential reserves, unofficial estimates have put the possible figure in the range of 25 to 60 billion barrels. Senior Kazakh officials have suggested that Kashagan could be the second largest offshore site in the world, ranking just behind Saudi Arabia's massive Ghawar field. After 2004, when OKIOC brings Kashagan on stream, Kazakhstan's oil exports are expected to rise dramatically, up from a daily average of about 680,000 barrels of crude this year.
Jan Kalicki, the outgoing US Ombudsman for Energy and Commercial Co-operation with the New Independent States, said in London in December that Kashagan could be producing as much as one million barrels a day when output reaches its peak. Since then, Menno Grouvel, vice-president of TotalFinaElf exploration and production for Europe and Asia, has confirmed his company is expecting "to make fresh investments" in the field. "We are investing in Kazakhstan to enable Europe, which will soon experience shortages of energy, to buy it from here," he told reporters in the Kazakh capital, Astana, in December.
However, successful exploitation of the field will depend on the construction of new transport networks, capable of handling large volumes of oil produced in a landlocked sea. Industry analysts and senior ministers from the Caspian states have pointed out that crucial decisions are needed on two fronts: the building of huge new export pipelines; and measures to resolve political differences regarding the territorial division of the Sea. Both issues have led to intense diplomatic efforts in the region by the US and Russia, each of which is determined to maintain control of the strategic resources and the way in which they are used. Moscow and Washington are well aware that the `great game' now under way in the Caspian will have a decisive impact on their ability to influence not only the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus but also potential new allies in the Middle East, Indian sub-continent and Far East during the 21st century.
US plans, which favour the construction of a 1,700-kilometre oil pipeline running from the Azerbaijani port of Baku via Georgia to the southern Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean, received a further boost late last year when all but three of the major players in Azerbaijan agreed to set up a company to help finance engineering studies for the link. They include BP Amoco, the operator of the Azerbaijan International Operating Company (AIOC), the consortium which is developing some of the country's most important oil and gas fields in the Caspian. …

Interbreeding with the domestic cat is believed to have brought the animal, one of Britain's most elusive predators, to the brink of extinction.
But scientists in Scotland want to collect and store tissue samples from the wildcats to use them when the technology is available to boost their numbers.
For that to happen the scientists want to develop new cloning techniques that build on scientific knowledge of the domestic cat's reproductive system, according to The Times.
The project, funded by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and the Medical Research Council's (MRC) Human Reproductive Sciences Unit in Edinburgh, could be used as a template for preventing the extinction of other endangered animals.
"It makes absolute sense to me because we are running out of time to work out how to manage these animals in the wild," said Iain Valentine, director of animals, conservation and education at the Society.
"And so the best thing we can do is collect cells, bang them in the freezer, bank it for a future date and hope that we can get the bits of the equation sorted out in the wild as well," he told The Times.
He added that a lot of conservationists had not "switched on" to the possibilities of new reproductive technologies in preventing the extinction of threatened species.

Hilltop Hoard: David Keys Explains How the Discovery of Iron Age Treasure Is Helping to Reveal the Geopolitics of the Ancient Britons
Keys, David, Geographical
As you drive through the rolling hills of Leicestershire across the narrow flood plain of the River Welland into Northamptonshire, you can be forgiven for failing to realise that you've changed county. But 2,000 years ago, this picturesque meandering waterway, almost certainly flanked by undrained marshes, was a major frontier, an edgy border between two important Celtic tribal kingdoms, 'the Realm of the Army of the Earth Goddess' and 'the Land of Great Warriors'.
Little is known about the geopolitics of late-prehistoric Britain: precisely where all of the frontiers ran; which groups held the power; and with what external backing? But the recent discovery of a spectacular hoard of gold and silver on an East Midlands hilltop, near the little town of Market Harborough, is helping to increase historians' understanding of the subject.
Preliminary examinations have revealed that the treasure, buried as a pagan religious offering around the time of the Roman invasion in 43 AD, contains new evidence as to who ruled what in central Britain at that time.
Directed by Vicky Priest of University of Leicester's vice, the dig has unearthed 3,000 and 4,000 coins, worth the equivalent of 200,000 [pounds sterling] in Iron Age times. More significantly, it also revealed the remains of a Roman cavalry helmet--the only example of its type ever found in Britain--which some believe was a Roman diplomatic gift designed to curry favour with local rulers and so keep the natives sweet. The helmet has an iron core covered with sheet silver decorated in repousse form with textile drapery motifs, stylised hair topped by a laurel wreath and the image of a lion. Key elements were highlighted with pure gold applied as a gilt overlay.
Until recently, no-one had suspected that anything of great value--let alone a spectacular hoard of treasure--lay hidden beneath the hill's topsoil. But just over two years ago, some local amateur archaeologists, working in a community heritage project, began finding ancient silver coins. Within a year an excavation at the site quite literally struck gold.
Amateur archaeology
At first the coins emerged from the heavy clay topsoil one by one. But when excavations were underway, the subsoil began to yield thousands of silver and gold pieces. Ken Wallace, the amateur archaeologist who found the first coins, says that he and his colleagues were stunned as vast numbers of coins began appearing out of the dirt in virtually mint condition. Fearing for the site's safety and its golden secrets, nervous archaeologists subsequently imposed an information and publicity black-out.
The native Iron Age population in what is now Leicestershire was a Celtic tribe called the Corieltauvi, or 'Army of the Earth Goddess'. However, its links with other tribes and its attitude to the Roman invasion have always been a mystery. As well as Leicestershire, the Corieltauvi controlled an area that today encompasses Lincolnshire and parts of what is now Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. Because they dominated the long-distance trails and tracks from southeast Britain to the north and northwest, they were of strategic importance to the Romans.
Roman allegiance
Evidence from the dig hints that the Corieltauvi may have supported the Romans; the idea that the helmet was a diplomatic gift is the most obvious example. But more importantly, the coins suggests that the Corieltauvi were ruled by a king who ran the neighbouring tribe, the pro-Roman Iceni of what is now Norfolk.
Both Corieltauvian and Icenian coins recovered from the hoard bare two similar names: Esuprasu on the Corieltauvian coins and Esuprastus on the Icenian ones. Dr Jonathan Williams, curator of Iron Age and Roman coins at the British Museum, who's been examining the treasure, believes that these are different versions of the same name. Esuprastus, he says, is the Latinisation of the otherwise unattested Celtic name Esuprasu, which is thought to mean 'the Faithful One of the Water God'. …

This week, as Roger Federer has changed his shirt during changeovers in his matches, fans have been treated to something a little different from the GOAT: His undershirt. It's something Roger has sported before, but why down under when it's so warm? Apparently, as it gets cool at night, Roger uses it to keep his muscles warm. But not just regular muscles, his "big muscles."
A relaxed Federer joked with Jim Courier during his post-match on-court interview, saying "It's particularly my left arm that's so impressive, I mean that's what shocks all the opponents when I walk out and they see that big, huge left arm… Scary, scary stuff." Watch!
Mirka, of course, found this funny.
And PseudoFed tweeted:
RT if you like My tank top #fashion
— Not Roger Federer (@PseudoFed) January 21, 2013
Aside from the undershirt, the most fashionable and talked about item of Roger's kit? His black and pink Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour shoes, which you can buy here.

The deputy instructed me to leave the highway as I couldnt legally ride on the traveled portion of any US highway only on the shoulder. This seems improbable to me, but I followed his instructions anyway not wanting to have further problems with him. The deputy further implied this was a federal regulation. I havent been able to find any federal regulations at all concerning bicycle use on highways. There werent any signs excluding bicycles from this road. Any information you could shed on this would be helpful as I am sure to encounter this again.
