I missed Heirloom Group's Farm to Table dinner at Le Nay Ferme this weekend because I was in Texas seeing family. This morning, I had a note in my Inbox from Casey Bulkley,the group's COO:
Truthfully you and your husband were lucky that you couldn't make it since it rained the entire time and we had 50 people outside with no shelter. In the end, we served an amazing dinner standing up under two 10x10 tents and the netting of the basil greenhouse. All in all it was a reminder that farm to table isnt all romance and self congratulation for being green. Sometimes it means wind, dirt, bugs, and rain. But in the end it was fun because the guests turned it around by having a good attitude about the debacle.
Ain't it the truth. While I was in Dallas, I attended a Farmers Market cooking class, a 20-year-old series of chef-taught classes at the downtown Farmers Market. My parents have been vounteering their help at these classes for 15 years.
On Saturday, chef Jeff Moschetti demonstrated pork tenderloin rubbed with bacon fat, served with peach barbeque sauce and a fabulous fresh corn dish.
See the recipe below.
On the way home, the skies opened to a deluge that lasted exactly as long as our drive. In Texas.
A state which is in the middle of a drought rivalling the Dust Bowl.
This is the kind of weather weirdness farmers have to put up with. Be glad you're only an eater and support the farmers, wet or dry.
Jeff Moschetti's Bourbon Cream Corn
serves 8
2 oz. bacon fat
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 shallots, minced
3 cups corn kernels
1 red bell pepper, trimmed and diced
1 orange bell pepper, trimmed and diced
1 poblano pepper, trimmed and diced
2 oz.bourbon
1 cup heavy cream
1 bu scallions, green only, cut fine
1/2 oz. cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. kosher salt
Saute garlic nad shallots in a large pan until translucent. Add corn kernels and peppers and cook about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with bourbon and cook a minute. Add cream and reduce until cream starts to thicken. Finish with green onions, cilantro and salt.

Lupe Scared of Blu...
Forum category:
SEX! (i just made this thread exciting again, no don't thank me. doing good is it's own reward) *fades out, matrix style*
so's Atlantic Records, I made them a long winded "diss track" and after a phone call interview they offered me a 2 CD deal. After thinking about it for 3 seconds I kindly told them to go fuck themselves with a live catfish. Moral of the story, life is what you make it.
Blu should stop with the Prince impersonations and get back with Exile and cook up another classic.... I'm all for experimentation but dude's the nicest IMO on that straight up rhyming
Lu doesn't have to worry about rap beef from anyone, considering most of these dudes in hip-hop all are fake gimmicks anyway. They don't want to be exposed, in more ways than one. Let us not forget Mr. Wasulu is nice with the hands, and probably the feet, elbows, and knees.
I don't believe anyone can touch Lupe lyrically. I think Lupe would win a hip-hop feud against Blu. The people that can challenge Lupe are the rappers from Souls of Mischief.
Because he's bigger than him. Sort of like why I'm scared of nas. I could ether him if it weren't for the repercussions.
How can a Wasalu be scared? The Wassoulou Empire, an Islamic state that resisted French rule in West Africa ;)
yea..we had this argument on the old forums way back... anyways I just choose to say Blupe is the best. BTH affected me in way Fnl and theCool didnt, not saying fnl and thecool werent amazing albums, bth just had that "thing" to it...emotion. JnJ is a dope album, bump it from time to time HerFavoriteColour > fahrenheit 1 and 2, regardless of any of the wordplay and nonsense Lu said on fahrenheit 1 and 2 HerFavoriteColour was just the better body of work in my opinion, I really like 3 so its up there with HerFavoriteColour I have no idea what direction Blu's going in now with his recent work, seems to be trying a really "alternative" look, which I like, just want to see what his next album will look like and LM
the fahrenheits are a force to be reckoned with too, not to mention lupe the jedi and all the unreleased tracks. but they have different styles it's a little hard to compare. Not in positive or negative light but it's usually hard to compare people to lupe, he's good at what HE does you know?
@4ZIATIC F&L is pretty real too but i get where your coming from. and my point was just that lupe is better at what he does. im not taking anything away from blu. but lyrically lupe's got it.
I like BTH WAY more than The Cool, but I dunno about Food & Liquor. They're both really good for me, the only thing that sets the two apart is the replay value. Sometimes I just can't listen to BTH cause it's so concious and I'm 22 and i'm having a baby and shit like that lol. No disrespect the album is super dope but I can always dig F&L. Lately I've been more hyped for Blu though...
I think it's pointless to comape blu and lupe, since they have 2 complete other styles. Yet I think lupe has a better craft for his own style ;)
'That means I'm doing dirt, spitting flames and quenching thirst And plus the real God has been on my side since birth I hope that he forgives me, I hope I do his work in every single verse Now I might do a dance, I might even jerk, tell them niggas don't hate Only God is great, Enemy Of The State'' 'I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent Getting closer to Jehovah on they old knees bent Praying our mind frames switch and our times change quick' lUPE is on some next lever ish, while blu still doing drugs to vanish his problems like all the helpless teens 'roll my jeans up beat up and my headphones blastin blazed some weed up and started laughing' \ ;)

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Allergy and asthma are among the most common health problems, with more than 50 million Americans afflicted with asthma, seasonal hay fever, or other allergy-related conditions each year.
Some allergies, such as a mild case of hay fever, may not require any treatment or may be controlled with the occasional use of over-the-counter medications.
Others may interfere with your day-to-day activities, lower your quality of life, or even become life-threatening. In these cases, you should see a physician to help you manage allergies and their symptoms.

The next time someone praises you for being such a nice person, you can just shrug, and respond, "Hey, I was born that way."
ScienceDaily reports a study published this month in the journal Psychological Science finds those with certain forms of oxytocin and vasopressin receptors are more generous; several genes regulate receptors' functioning.
"So if one of your neighbors seems really generous, caring, a civic-minded kind of person, while another seems more selfish, tight-fisted and not as interested in pitching in, their DNA may help explain why one of them is nicer than the other," lead author Michel Poulin tells the website. "We aren't saying we've found the niceness gene. But we have found a gene that makes a contribution."
We really need to get this manufactured in pill form.

This is part 5 of "Fighting the BMW Spam Machine"
To my International guests, don't go away quite yet. If you are the victim of cybercrime and the perpetrator is in the USA, you can file a complaint through the IC3 too!
Today I am going to walk you through filing an IC3 Complaint. The IC3 is the Internet Crime Complaint Center which is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. Their Home page is at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
It's really worth reading the information about the types of crimes handled and the processes at http://www.ic3.gov/faq/default.aspx#item1.
Let's get started. Today we'll use BMW of Mt Laurel, The Holman Automotive Group, and BMW of North America as examples in filing the spam/harassment complaint. Holman Automotive is the Parent Company of BMW of Mt. Laurel and appears to allow them to disregard federal laws regarding spam. BMW of North America profits from Holman Automotive selling cars for them and do not seem to be inclined to take away the dealership if it is operated with illegal practices.
In the picture above I am going to click on the "File a Complaint" link. This takes me to http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx, which I am not going to print a screen shot of. It basically says you are telling the truth and that due to state laws your complaint may not remain confidential. I don't think that is an issue for me today! I'll click the "Accept" button.
The complaint process uses SSL to keep the information confidential as you transmit it to the IC3. Here's the first screen
The next screen is easy enough
And then…
The next screen is too long to post here. It includes your contact information, specific questions about the entity you are reporting, the evidence you may have, and many other things that are usually not too hard to figure out.
Below is the information I submitted to the IC3 about the incident.
"On 5/19/2011 I received spam from BMW of Mt. Laurel, a Holman Automotive Group company. I replied indicating I believed it was spam. The opt out did not work as they require scripts that might not be safe. The opt out page should use no scripting. The company did not respond to me. I have a copy of my response that includes the original email and I can print it out. On 11/21/2011 I received another spam from Holman Automotive and again on 11/29/2011. I posted a message to Facebook and received a message back on November 30 indicating that if I sent them my email address they would remove me. I have email copies of every thing except my comment to them on Facebook. I have email with their reply. I sent them copies of the spam on 11/30/2011. On 12/12/2011 I received more spam from BMW of Mt. Laurel. I emailed customer service at Holman Automotive and at BMW of Mt. Laurel and told them to remove me from their mailing list once again. On 1/25/2012 I received more spam from "Wendy Morgan" at BMW of Mt. Laurel. I emailed more than a dozen employees of BMW of Mt. Laurel and Holman Automotive telling them to stop spamming me and nobody replied. On 2/3/2012 I emailed Comcast and CC'd Holman Automotive and BMW North America. I asked Comcast to block the spammers, but they did not. Holman Automotive ignored the request and BMW of North America returned a form letter telling me they appreciate my comments. I also sent a complaint with the spam to the FTC, but no action has been taken against the spammers who repeatedly defy the canned spam act. I sent another email to BMW of Mt. Laurel, The Holman Automotive Group, and BMW of North America and told them all to stop spamming me. I sent an email specifically to BMW of North America and told them to remove my email address from their lists and have it removed from all of their dealer's lists. I received an email the same day (2/3/12) from a "Wendy Morgan" who assured me she would attend to it immediately and put a "total block" on all the email addresses I previously provided. On 2/7/ I received a reply from BMW of North America and they said "BMW of North America, LLC is not responsible for the marketing promotions and mailings of individual BMW centers. We suggest contacting the marketing representative at BMW of Mt. Laurel. They will be in the best position to assist in researching your inquiry for future mailings.". I replied indicating the contacting BMW of Mt. Laurel doesn't work and that they should not be supporting illegal activities by their dealers. BMW of NA responded and asked for my phone number, which I provided. BMW of NA replied that they would research and call me back. They did not. On 5/24/2012 I received more spam form "Wendy Morgan" on behalf of BMW of Mt. Laurel. I replied back to BMW of Mt. Laurel, Holman Automotive, BMW of NA and the German BMW headquarters. So far there has been no response from BMW of Mt. Laurel, or Holman Automotive. BMW USA said they would not put a stop to the spamming on a phone call. BMW AG (Germany) replied they would have their IT look into it. It really is time that BMW of Mt. Laurel and Holman Automotive cease the harassment and comply with the canned spam act. If possible I would like criminal harassment charges filed. I also filed another complaint with the FTC, but the FTC indicated they do not pursue individual complaints. I again asked Comcast to stop their customer from illegal spamming, but Comcast did not indicate that they would take any effective action."
I have filed a complaint with the New Jersey Better Business Bureau, however the attacker is not accredited by the BBB.
I am happy to print out and provide all relevant correspondence.
Following this write up I am asked to provide details of contact I made with the attacker, and any law enforcement or consumer advocacy agencies, including the Better Business Bureau.
On the next page I confirm the information and then submit. The last is as follows…
A couple of minutes later I received an email from the IC3 with my case number and a password.
You can use the IC3 to report all kinds of Internet crimes, you just need to know the resource is there.
My next blog on the subject will deal with how BMW of Mt. Laurel lied to the Better Business Bureau in response to my complaint, and the folks at BMW HQ who know about it. If BMW of Mt. Laurel, and or BMW North America, and/or BMW AG have any comments I'll post those as well.

|Athletic Trainer
|Fremont, Ind.
|18 Years
Kenny McCarty begins his 19th year as the primary Certified Athletic Trainer for the Arizona State University baseball program. McCarty is responsible for the daily prevention, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of the Sun Devil baseball players' injuries. McCarty coordinates the overall healthcare of the Sun Devil baseball players utilizing team physicians, orthopedic physicians, optometrists, nutritionists, sport psychologists, as well as various other specialists. McCarty also implements a year-round program for the Sun Devil pitchers.
A part of each practice is set aside to do specific arm care exercises. Each pitcher is also evaluated and provided with a Corrective Exercise Program which addresses specific muscular weakness, flexibility, and core strength issues. Injury prevention is the primary goal of the program. An extremely valuable resource for the baseball program with his extensive knowledge of baseball-related injuries, McCarty has successfully rehabilitated multiple pitchers from Tommy John surgery as well as position players. This includes former Sun Devil pitcher Mike Esposito, who made his Major League debut in 2005 with the Colorado Rockies, and former ASU catcher/first baseman Nate Causey, who was taken by the Rockies in the 2014 MLB Draft.
McCarty also was responsible for the rehabilitation of former Sun Devil shortstop Andrew Romine. Romine underwent a first rib resection in January 2006 after suffering a blood clot in his throwing arm. He was able to return to the field three and a half months post surgery and went to be a 5th round draft pick of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2007, making his Major League debut in 2010.
McCarty presented "Special Conditioning and Rehabilitation Concepts for the Collegiate Pitcher" at the 2001 ASMI Injuries in Baseball Course in Phoenix hosted by notable baseball orthopedist Dr. James Andrews. He was also a secondary author of the NCAA's Injury Surveillance System on the Descriptive Epidemiology of Collegiate Men's Baseball Injuries from 1988-2004. This article was published in the Journal of Athletic Training in July of 2007. The article provided injury type and rate data analysis as well as recommendations for injury prevention in collegiate baseball. McCarty graduated in 1996 from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN with a B.A. in Athletic Training. He also earned a M.S. in Exercise Science & Health Promotion from the California University of Pennsylvania in the summer of 2007.
A native of Fremont, Ind., McCarty is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association, Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainers Association, and Arizona Athletic Trainers Association and is also a NASM certified Corrective Exercise Specialist. McCarty enjoys fishing and outdoor activities and is a huge fan of NASCAR and the Detroit Tigers. McCarty is single and resides in Chandler.

Lightweight coverage.
Long-finger gloves are perfect for cooler rides where dexterity, grip, and comfort are a top priority. However, most long-finger offerings lack one or many of the aforementioned desires. Not the case with the Gore Bike Wear Xenon Long Gloves. In fact, the Xenon Long shares all of the dampening and grip enhancing features as it shorter option, but its extensive coverage also provides added warmth and protection.
This isn't a winter glove by any means, for that look at the Xenon SO or GT gloves. But, on fall or spring rides, the Xenon gloves are more than adequate. The back of the hand combines mesh panels with a blend of nylon and elastane in order to provide cooling air flow when things heat up. Additionally, the composition's stretch enhances the stretch and flexibility, while also increasing the gloves' level of durability.
The Xenon's thumb gets a traditional soft-wipe for absorbing excess sweat from the brow. At the palm, foam pads filter shock, which is further enhanced by a polyurethane and nylon knit that's not only optimized for grip, but to also absorb shock as well. And in terms of grip, Gore has added confidence to your descents and shift by coating the palm with silicone.
The Gore Bike Wear Xenon Long Gloves are available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the color Black.
- Blend of nylon and elastane with mesh panels
- Polyurethane and nylon knit (palm)
- Foam padding
- Silicon coated palm for added grip
- Thumb-wipe to absorb perspiration

Great 3-season glove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
I was looking for a glove that I could wear from late spring to early fall. Additionally I wanted something that didn't have a Velcro strap. These were really the best option that I found in my search. I've worn them several times, and they fit great and are quite comfortable. I consider the padding fairly adequate, and you can see from the image that the lower palm is padded as well as just below the first 3 fingers (bear in mind that I have 2 pairs of Fox gloves that have no additional padding, so that is what I'm going on). the fabric on the back of the glove is thinner, and allows for good breathability. The only problem that I have is the high price, which I just can't figure out. I was able to get them on sale luckily, and really I would have given them a 5-star rating if it weren't for this.
So So
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These are a fair pair of gloves. I had planned to use them on chilly days when full finger gloves are too much and summer gloves are not enough. There is not much padding and the material is not very thick. They also seem to be overpriced for what you get. Perhaps they would be OK for summertime when no insulation is needed.

ZF-9970: Zend_Cache_Frontend_Class need to switch _makeId to public in order to delete the cache object
New code: public function _makeId($name, $parameters) { return md5($this->_cachedEntityLabel . '' . $name . '' . serialize($parameters)); }
We can then invalidate with:
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Class','Memcached', $frontendOptions, $backendOptions); $cache->remove($cache->_makeId($method, $parms));
For database:
$query_cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core','Memcached', $frontendOptions, $backendOptions); $query_cache->remove($name); // note: this does not need _makeId()
Can someone please change _makeId to public? or add a wrapper so we can get at the md5 value so we can invalidate for memcache?
fixed in r22642 (trunk) & r22643 (1.10 branch)
BC break, Does not have no opposition about applying it in mini release.
Case Break BC:
class ExtendFunction extends Zend_Cache_Frontend_(Function|Class)
private function _makeId($callback, array $args)
// my implementation
Keep the method private e makes called to method public. Correct also the called in the Zend_Cache_Frontend_(Function|Class):>call().
Sample code:
private function _makeId($callback, array $args)
return $this->makeId($callback, $args);
Greetings Ramon
Hi Ramon - thanks for your comment.
I changed it in r22648 & r22649 (trunk) - If it's ok I merge it to the 1.10 branch. -> Additionally I changed the public method "makeId" to the following structure: "public function makeId($callback, array $args = array())"
fixed in r22654 (1.10 branch)

Reviews for Easter Bunny Treats
"These bunny's will not stand up. It took us over 20 min to make them. Making them look good and like a bunny is hard and there is no way too get the lines thin enough.When you do get them to look ok they fall over on there faces and smear. I gave it a one just because it was alot of fun to make (or at least try to make)."
"I did this with my Sunday School students a while back. This is adorable and simple. Easy to assemble and delicious to eat!"
"These are easy and fun for my grandson and I to make together"
"Linda and CometCooker, I am TOTALLY with you on having a hard time making these...UNTIL I finally gave in and used TOOTHPICKS! Seriously, I was so frustrated (In what universe does this only take 15 minutes to do 12 using frosting as glue?)...then I said "ARG!" and grabbed my jar of toothpicks. After that, the ears and feet and arms all stayed on just fine and they turned out great!! I just had to warn the kids not to pop 'em into their mouth whole. Hahaha. These are adorable!"
"Well I am not a Bunny Maker!! I gave it a try but I couldn't get the ears to stay on. I did not make the icing I bought it, but what a difficult time I had. But they were cute but too fidley for me. Good luck to all that can make these work. I would love to know the secret."

I made this for years with Splenda, but when I was making it recently on a hot Utah I used Stevia In the Raw Granular Sweetener, a relatively new product that I've really been liking. You can tell I think cilantro is an essential component in the salad by the way I listed it in the title, but if you're a cilantro hater I think thinly sliced green onions or mint would be a good substitute.
(Asian Cucumber Salad with Cilantro and Vidalia Onions was updated with new photos and better instructions and added to Recipe Favorites in August 2011.)
Asian Cucumber Salad with Cilantro and Vidalia Onions
(Makes 6 generous servings; recipe created by Kalyn and was inspired by thinly-sliced marinated cucumbers served with sushi.)
4 cucumbers, peeled in stripes, cut in half lengthwise, then into thick slices
1 large Vidalia onion or other sweet onion, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick slivers of onion
1 bunch cilantro washed and chopped just before using
Dressing Ingredients:
1 cup rice vinegar (don't use seasoned vinegar which contains sugar)
3 T Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granular Sweetener, or sugar (Use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)
2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
2 tsp. garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
pinch hot pepper flakes (optional)
coarse ground black pepper to taste
Combine rice vinegar, Splenda or sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and hot pepper flakes (if using) and pour over cucumbers. Let marinate in refrigerator 2-3 hours. (You can leave it longer, but I prefer this when the cucumbers are still slightly crisp.)
Just before serving, wash, dry, and chop cilantro. (Don't be afraid to use some of the stem; it is considered a delicacy in parts of Asia.) Drain cucumbers and onions and combine with chopped cilantro, season with fresh ground pepper and serve.
This will keep in the refrigerator a day or two, but the vegetables won't be crisp. Of course this is best made with fresh-from-the-garden cucumbers, but if you only have from-the-store cucumbers, it's still pretty good!
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Cal State Fullerton Head Coach Rick Vanderhook
"We lost. We gave them some opportunities in the first innings by making a couple mistakes. We had two outs nobody on and we miss a ground ball. First and second two outs, catch a ground ball, make a bad throw and they answered. They got a couple base-hits right up the middle and they put the pedal on us a little bit in the first. Offensively, we didn't cash in on our opportunities. Our best opportunity came when Davis doubled and then Michael lined out to left, he hit it pretty good." "This weekend they were about right in everything they did. They had their guys standing in the right spot. If it would have been ten feet to one side I don't think they would have caught it but that's life in the game of baseball. The Bruins were better than us this weekend and we will see them next year, either here or the next weekend."
On Offense
"Disappointed with how we played offense because we didn't. We didn't play offense very good, we didn't have any offense. It was get a hit or get out, there was no offense in there. We tried to do a few things and it didn't work. We fell behind in the first and played catch up."
On Eshelman
"He gave up no earned runs and threw 103 pitches in eight innings. He had to face five extra hitters after that two out nobody on error. I thought he was fantastic. That for me, was the best pitching of the whole tournament, us or them. He was more dominant than anybody for me this weekend that I saw. There weren't many balls hit hard. Guys got on and he was out of it. There was really no pressure spots or test spots that he had to deal with besides the first inning."
Cal State Fullerton Pitcher Thomas Eshelman
On His Outing
"As far as pitching in this game. It was hard at first to settle down, especially in that first inning. I went back to what I have been doing all year and threw strikes. I gave these guys an opportunity to get in the dugout and get some runs on the board. As the game went on, I settled down.
Cal State Fullerton Shortstop Richy Pedroza
On Season
"It was an unbelievable season for us. Couldn't ask for anything more as a senior. Obviously I wanted to go to Omaha, but as a team total, it one of the best teams I've ever been a part of . I love all these guys and that's all I got."
On Senior Class Not Making It to Omaha
"Very disappointing, it was one of our goals we had. We took every goal one at a time whether it was the Big west, Regionals or Super Regionals. To come short with the type of team we had was pretty disappointing."
UCLA Head Coach John Savage
"First I'd like to congratulate Cal State Fullerton for a remarkable year. Whenever you win over 50 games in the west, what can you say? They have some of the best players to play in this program's history. With Pedroza, Lopez and Lorenzen, those guys will go down as great Titans, guys that have been here and set the tone for this program for many, many years. I would like to congratulate them, Rick, and his staff. They're going to be at this thing for a long time. They have a great thing going here and we all know that they have a very bright future."
"In terms of the tournament and the games, I couldn't be any prouder of our program and the student athletes. We just formed; we bonded and became a team a couple weeks ago. Whenever you get to Fullerton and win two games, to beat I think the best team in the country says a lot about the character. Their disciple and their habits you name it, we did it. I think we earned it. Whenever you come here and win this and get to Omaha, it's not an easy road. I am very proud of our team and players, moving on to Omaha."
UCLA Pitcher Nick Vander Tuig
On working out of trouble
"Mainly just try to make pitches. Try not to get too ahead of myself. Try to pitch ahead and let my defense work for me. I don't think I had too many strikeouts. Fullerton had great hitters that battled me all game. My defense got me out of some jams and I was just focusing on making pitches."
On pitching with the lead
"The three runs in the first were huge. Anytime you get a few runs in the first it's a lot easier to pitch, especially with our defense. It's easy to just throw strikes and make pitches and let the defense work for you."
UCLA First Baseman Pat Gallagher
On at bat with the bases-loaded
"After Eric got on and we put together some quality at bats. I felt that Eshelman hadn't been in that situation maybe. We just kept battling him and put the ball in play and it all worked out."

There are few things better that come out of our education programs than the real "behind the music" style stories shared by the artists and musicians who we celebrate. Such a story was told to me this past weekend by the co-founder and lead singer of Santana, Hall of Fame Inductee Gregg Rolie when he was in town to perform with fellow Inductee Michael Carabello for our 14th Annual American Music Masters series honoring Janis Joplin.
In most of the biographies you will read about Santana, they are rather ambiguous about the details of how the band was actually formed. You read about how Gregg Rolie and Carlos Santana were both in San Francisco in the 1960's and then magically, there was Santana. When Gregg Rolie said to me, "you know how Santana really formed, don't you?…it was in a tomato patch." I knew I was about to be let in on a rock and roll secret.
This is how it really happened.
The origins of the Santana Blues Band, which later became just Santana, lie in a chance meeting between keyboardist and lead singer, Gregg Rolie and guitarist, Carlos Santana. The two knew of each other, both playing in separate bands around the San Francisco area in 1966. One sunny afternoon there was a house party out in the middle-of–nowhere California (which is now a highly developed suburb of San Francisco), where in character of the times, there were a lot of drugs being passed around. I mean, hey, it was a party! Carlos was there. So was Gregg. Eventually, so were the cops. Now, Gregg was interested in what he had seen Carlos do musically from being around the scene and seeing his band at the time. When the cops showed up at the party, he saw a chance to meet Carlos. In haste, he had seen an escape route from the cops and was about to let Carlos in on the action. As soon as he reached Carlos, he realized Carlos was already on the run, utilizing the aforementioned escape plan that he had apparently scouted out on his own. Gregg followed, running as fast as he could out the back door and into the tomato field that ran for miles behind the house. Hiding from the cops together in this tomato field for about two hours, Gregg and Carlos starting talking music and decided it was a great idea to start a band. This is how Santana was really formed…in a tomato patch.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Arizona State
|Graduating Year:
|7 Years
In his eighth season, Oregon women's tennis head coach Paul Reber continues to chart the Oregon women's tennis program's ascent up the Pac-12 and national rankings.
Reber led the Ducks to 13 wins last year, the most during his tenure here at UO, and finished ranked 69th in the ITA Rankings while climbing as high as 55 on the year. Nicole Long and Julia Metzger both posted 20-plus wins on the season while three other UO players tabbed double-digit victories.
In 2012, Oregon recorded 12 victories, its second-most wins since the 2007-08 season. Patricia Skowronski and Sofia Hager, who reached as high as No. 52 in the ITA doubles rankings, moved to fifth on the all-time best doubles season list (19). As a team, UO spent several weeks ranked by the ITA, with the highest being No. 65. Reber had five Ducks post double-digit victories during the season. In her first season on campus, Reber was able to guide freshman Sofia Hager to a team-high 23 wins.
Academically, five Ducks were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team (Rabea Stueckemann, Julia Metzger, Pascale Neubert, Patricia Skowronski and Trudie du Toit). Reber's squad achieved ITA All-Academic status in addition to having seven tabbed as ITA Scholar-Athletes. Stueckemann led the way with her GPA of 4.10.
The 2011 dual campaign saw Oregon win its first four duals of the season and enter the Intercollegiate Tennis Association team rankings for the fifth consecutive season in Reber's tenure. Among the highlights of the season, the Ducks posted their first win over a top-25 team in six years when they topped No. 20 Washington, 4-3, on March 11. Pavlina Smatova had a tremendous season for the Ducks, going 23-15 on the singles court and 23-13 in doubles play. She finished the year ranked in the top 100 in the singles circuit and spent time in the top 50 of the doubles rankings.
Last season, UO opened the year with three straight victories by a combined 20-1 margin and spent the first month of the season ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's top 75.
The 2008-09 season saw Reber's Ducks knocked off two ranked teams en route to nine dual match wins. Reber also recruited well in 2009, snagging the No. 26 ranked recruiting class in the nation, including two U.S. players with five-star rankings.
During the 2007-08 season, Reber saw one of his freshman recruits, the No. 78 ranked Celine Rolly, compete and excel at No. 1 singles throughout the season, compiling a 10-12 record in dual competition. The Maldegem, Belgium native also played at No. 1 doubles for the Ducks.
In 2006-07, he piloted the Oregon women to one of their finest seasons ever as UO finished the year ranked 41st nationally, went 12-12 on the season against a schedule full of the nation's top teams, and made their sixth postseason trip in school history.
Several of his first-year pupils also made a major impact on the Duck record books. Dominika Diskova and Ana Cecilia Olivos moved to first all-time for UO for most career doubles victories (49) and ranked fourth among season totals (19), while Dieskova also ended her career ranked second in most career singles wins (85).
Handpicked by his predecessor and current UO director of tennis Nils Schyllander, Reber was an obvious choice after a successful 10-year career at Arizona State University.
The Kamloops, British Columbia native oversaw six NCAA top-10 teams and was also named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's West Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2005. During his ASU tenure, Reber coached eight All-Americans and led eight teams to the Sweet 16, including six top-10 finishes.
Also an accomplished collegiate player for the Sun Devils, he was a four-year letter winner from 1992-96 and sported a 58-58 singles record that included 20 singles victories in 1994-95. He posted a 51-38 doubles mark, including a 23-15 record in 1994-95. He was the 1991 Canadian Junior Doubles Champion and won the singles championship the following year. In 1993 he was once again the doubles champion.
Reber received bachelor's degrees in exercise science and history from Arizona State University in 1996. Paul married his wife Dana (Tucker) in 2002, and she is an ASU graduate with master's and undergraduate degrees in social work. The couple has two sons, Owen and Griffin.

Curham Earns All-America Honors as Women's Cross Country Takes 30th

"Bye Bye Love" galvanized not one but three creative teams. Don and Phil Everly were floundering prior to this first hit single. "Bye Bye Love" was also the biggest hit to date for husband-and- wife songwriters Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. Last but not least, the pairing of the Bryants with the Everlys yielded a string of rock and roll pearls. The record's enormous success-Top Five on Billboard's country, pop, and R&B charts-followed a series of hurdles. Cadence, the Everlys' label, had rejected them once before but was giving the brothers a second chance. The Bryants' tune had been rejected by numerous artists before the Everlys got hold of it. Perhaps Don Everly's own guitar introduction made a difference; the brothers' close vocal harmonies were certainly new to a non-country audience. Not even a cover version by Webb Pierce-at that time the kiss of death for a country song's original recording-could slow the Everlys' million sales, as "Bye Bye Love" leapt across musical borderlines. The brothers went from tent shows to The Ed Sullivan Show; the era's top vocal duo was off and running.
The Everlys' third hit was their first ballad single. If their voices were enchanting on up- tempo songs, they could melt glass with their sustained tones on slow ones. Material the caliber of "All I Have to Do Is Dream" didn't hurt, either. Written by Felice & Boudleaux Bryant, "All I Have To Do Is Dream" was one of the Everly Brothers' biggest sellers in the U.S. It topped Billboard's pop chart for over a month. Chet Atkins' filigreed guitar weaves in and out of the brothers' wistful singing. Phil Everly first heard the song performed by its composer on a demo recording and just knew it was a hit: It was just one of those songs. But it's hard to imagine anyone else tackling "All I Have To Do Is Dream" in the wake of the Everlys' performance. It helped their heart-throb image and, in retrospect, summons up a repressed eraís suppressed desires.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Case Western Reserve University will honor rock and roll pioneers the Everly Brothers during the 19th Annual Music Masters® series this October. Don and Phil Everly were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of the first class of inductees in 1986. Two-time Grammy Award winner Rodney Crowell will serve as musical director for the tribute concert, which will take place on Saturday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m. at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre.

Reviews for Church Supper Chili
"Why are all the 'church' recipes from Wisconsin?"
"I made this recipe last week and really liked it. I did scale it down to serve 4-6. If I made it again, I would omit the pork and beans. I did not have kidney beans so used pinto beans. I also added about half of a 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies which I had left over from another recipe but you really couldn't taste them. I think next time I would add a whole can.Those are the only changes I made and we liked it very much. It was great on a chilly, rainy day."
"I haven't made this ye3t but sounds YUMMO!!!!!!!!!!"
"I love this recipe! I plan on making it again and again. What I hate are people who are rude. If you do not like it, just say so and why. You can do this politely, too. This recipe is what I grew up on. Thank you for sharing this."

Rated 4 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Almostdone Great rug but unroll it outside if you can. We just received this rug and it is very nice, soft underfoot, thick and a beautiful color. I think the representation online was very true in color and quality. In addition the shipping was quick; we had the rug in our possession in under a week! I can't yet speak of the wear since it hasn't been walked on. The only thing I would say as a caution is if you have a chance unroll it outside and shake it out before you put it down. It made a big mess on the floor because It was filled with dirt and hay like debris, presumably from where it was woven. Fortunately we have a wooden floor so we were able to sweep it up pretty easily. If you were putting it over a carpet (as I have seen people do of late) it would be frustrating. We are very happy with our purchase. November 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MandyV57 Even better than I expected I just got this put into place after receiving it almost two weeks ago. I bought the largest size (9x12) from the website because I wanted a rug large enough for my dining room table plus 6 chairs when the chairs were pushed back. This necessitated moving everything in my dining room - table & chairs, china cabinet, sideboard and small drinks cabinet. So after all that work, it's in place and could not look any more perfect. The color is beautiful and much richer than it looks in the picture, it's nice and thick, surprisingly soft underfoot and the weave is gorgeous. I got it for half off and I think I got the deal of the year. March 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cardiff This rug is so rich, I bought 2!! For the sale price, I am so pleased! This rug is a thick, well made rug and feels soft and wonderful under your feet. The color is so rich and classy. It's so beautiful that I bought another one!! You won't be disappointed March 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Astonishing Beautiful! But Thicker Than Expected with a Coarser Weave This rug is a beautiful tan-turquoise color that will go well with tan, brown, green, and blue-green. It could look fantastic in a light, casual room with contemporary furniture. This "basket weave" rug is quite thick, about 3/4 of an inch thick, much thicker than I expected, especially compared with other thin and flat jute rugs available from World Market, such as the boucle jute rugs or the printed jute rugs like the Kimono Floral Jute Rug, which are about 1/4 inch thick. I brought two of these rugs, the smallest size, to be the first "step rugs" a person would step on when entering my house. They work perfectly for that purpose because I have fairly high thresholds, so the door can slide over them when I open it. However, if you have low thresholds, you might not be able to place these 3/4+ inch thick rugs in a doorway. The "basket weave" of this rug is also quite coarse, with each woven strand about 1/4 of an inch thick, and the strands apparently woven in pairs. Because of the coarse weave, it would not be easy to slide chairs on this rug, so it would not work well in a dining room or an area where you would want to slide chairs on it. Although the weave is coarse, it is also very tight, so I am not concerned about the rug coming apart or losing its shape. Although the weave is coarse, the rug is actually surprising soft underfoot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by julie617 Not sure why people would like this rug? The second it was delivered and I put it down in our living room I already noticed tufts of it coming apart. And, every day it is getting worse. It looks terrible. To top that off - I find that I CANNOT vacuum this rug! It gets stuck in BOTH of my vacuums, even the super wimpy dirt devil that is just for my hard wood floors! I will be getting a new, different rug soon. March 26, 2014

MIDEAU, VELOUR LIVE MUSIC GALLERY, Friday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m., $7
If you don't know Mideau, it's time you do. Or you might know its two parts for their past efforts--Libbie Linton has been an active solo performer, singer and songwriter for years, and Spencer Harrison was a member of Fictionist for a spell. Together, they've been working for about 18 months on the self-titled debut of their collaboration, and to my ears it's a stellar blend of both artists. Linton's natural knack for pop songcraft and Harrison's experimental leanings combine into some beautiful sounds, aided by producer Nate Pyfer. There is a lot of buzz around this band and this debut release, and it's proven well worth it in my spins of the album. Live for the release show, Linton and Harrison will be joined by a couple of other musicians to flesh out the sound. Oceanear and Little Barefoot open the show.

Former Gov. Jon Huntsman, the GOP's maverick failed-presidential candidate, is in the news again, annoying Republicans by making sense.
Huntsman, failing to win the GOP's presidential nomination, has gone on to become his party's conscience. He recently announced he will not attend the Republican National Convention because the party that nominated fellow-Mormon Mitt Romney sucks too much.
OK, that's not exactly what Huntsman said. What he said about the former Party of Lincoln was even more more shaming:
"I will not be attending this year's convention, nor any Republican convention in the future, until the party focuses on a bigger, bolder, more confident future for the United States – a future based on problem solving, inclusiveness, and a willingness to address the trust deficit, which is every bit as corrosive as our fiscal and economic deficits."
This is the same guy who stung Mitt with a "Country First" campaign theme--after Romney attacked him for serving as ambassador to China for Obama.
"[Romney] criticized me… for serving my country in China. Yes, under a Democrat. Like my two sons are doing in the United States Navy. They're not asking [what] political affiliation the president is…. I will always put my country first."
(If you recall, none of Romney's many children have served in the military.)
Of course, all this embarrassing turmoil could be cleared up if Rep. Jim Matheson, who is again snubbing the Democratic Convention, simply joined the Republicans in Tampa and Huntsman took Jim's seat at the Democratic convention.

Retail Riches
Talk about setting the scene for things to come. To get the word out about its buzzy Fashionably Conscious fundraiser, a vintage sale of sorts where guests get to peruse (and buy) a variety of slightly used garments from the closets of Miami's leading female philanthropists, Neiman Marcus at Village of Merrick Park hosted its semiannual Collection Party and Trend Event in one swoop. The occasion is mainly a reason for ladies who luxe to sip Champagne and talk fashion and accessories, as well as get a preview of the fall fashion collections. "And what's wrong with that?" asked one particular glamazon, when her friend pointed this out. Nothing at all, we say. This year, NM didn't disappoint fans of the event in the least. The retailer staged one of its largest runway shows to date, and models walked around the store showing off styles by Givenchy, Tom Ford, Balenciaga, Roland Mouret and Helmut Lang. The spirit of style was definitely in the air as regulars like Ali Codina, Iva Kosovic, Darlene Pérez, Marcella Novela and Adrienne bon Haes mingled madly. "I can't wait to rock all that leather I keep seeing," said one spirited attendee. "I just hope the weather cooperates this year. Fashion is pain, but a nice cold front now and then wouldn't hurt."

A 20-year-old Townsend man is facing criminal charges after allegedly driving his pick-up truck into at least 15 mailboxes last month.
Billy Moffett was arrested Monday after police were able link his Ford truck to the mailbox damages, according to Delaware State Police spokesman Cpl. John Day.
Troopers received 15 reports of mailboxes having been damaged overnight along roads in Townsend and Smyrna on March 28.
Police were able to identify the type of vehicle used in the vandalism spree and later located a pickup truck matching that description that had suffered damage consistent with having struck several mailboxes, Day said.
Troopers were then able to link Moffett to the crimes, he added.
Moffett was arraigned on 15 counts of criminal mischief under $1,500 and later released on a $1,500 unsecured bail.
He also is required to abide by a curfew as a condition of his release, Day said.

You may have noticed that pink is everywhere! Pink ribbons, pink shoes, socks, or chin guards on football players, pink shirts, pink bracelets, pink cupcakes, and pink packaging on hundreds - if not thousands - of products you purchase every day. When you see pink you can be sure that money is being raised, lives are being changed and we are making great strides in the fight against breast cancer.
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, it is the most popular time year to raise money that will help to provide mammograms for women who cannot afford it, fund research that will improve cancer treatments, one day wipeout the disease forever and to improve the lives of cancer patients everywhere. Almost everyone has been touched by cancer in some way and if you have a loved one or friend fighting the disease you may feel very helpless but still feel very determined to find away to help. Fundraising doesn't have to stop in October - it can keep going year round!
So what can you do to raise money for the cause? There are so many ways and here at Charming Chick we hope to give you ideas and inspire you to make a difference!
Fundraising ideas:
1. Clear the clutter and host a garage sale. Donate all proceeds.
2. Get crafting. Turn your hobby into money for your favorite breast cancer organization. Do you like to take photographs, quilt, knit, sew, paint, or something else? You can sell these items at crafts fairs, bazaars or on Esty.
3. Are people always asking for your recipes? Make a cookbook and sell it and donate the proceeds.
4. Just ask! Ask for a donation in any amount for your favorite breast cancer foundation. You can even write a letter to friends and family about why it is so important for you to help raise money for breast cancer.
5. Participate in Komen for the Cure, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer or any other fundraiser dedicated to raising awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer.
6. Host a bake sale. Yummmm!
7. If your boss will let you, you can make a "Casual Friday." Folks interested in dressing down on this day can make a donation of $5 or more each time they want to participate. then that money can go to the cause.
8. Party with a Purpose. Host a dinner or get together that aims to raise money for breast cancer. You can charge per plate or table and you may be able to get food, entertainment, a venue and decorations donated.
9. Have an auction or raffle. Depending on the laws for your state you can put on a silent auction or raffle off items with proceeds going to benefit breast cancer research.
10. Have a Car Wash
11. Chili Cook-off are fun and a great way to raise money!
12. Donate your birthday for a cure. Let friends and family know that in lieu of gifts this year you would like them to donate to your favorite breast cancer organization.

14. Sell flowers, fruits or veggies out of your own garden.
15. Have a friend that does home parties like Tupperware, Partylite, Pampered Chef, etc.? Offer to donate your hostess rewards and/or see if they will donate a portion of their sales to the cause.

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Price: $24.95
For nearly 45 years, hundreds of hours of news footage and radio reports quietly languished in Dallasfirst kept under wraps by the local news stations who owned them, then in the vault of a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the day John F. Kennedy was killed.
To mark the anniversary of JFK's assassination on November 22, 1963, National Geographic reveals some of this rarely-seen archival footage that has been digitally captured and assembled into a detailed timeline. Included is footage capturing the real-time horror of parade-goers who witnessed the killing, the out-of-breath local anchors reporting the breaking news bulletin, the priest who describes administering the president's last rites and the ongoing, on-air speculation over who fired the fatal shots.
Bonus program: Space Race.

Eugene, Ore. -- O Heroes collected 240 sports bras for female athletes in West Ambrym, Pacific Islands through their month-long Support Sport initiative.
Recognizing female athletes' need for sport bras, Brooke Strawn, a freshman forward on the UO's Women's soccer team, approached O Heroes in hopes of gaining community support for her cause. Strawn and her sister, Kristen, UO alum and an active Peace Corps member on assignment in West Ambrym, are they're distributing the collected sports bras together this winter break.
"The support from both the Eugene/Springfield community and from Nike has been amazing," said O Heroes director Judy Sheldon, "Originally we set a goal to collect 25 sports bras. However, after Nike's donation of 160 and the community's donation of 44 we ended the drive with almost seven times more than expected."
For more information on O Heroes follow @oheroes on Twitter, "like" our Facebook page, or contact O Heroes Director Judy Sheldon at 541-346-5740 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lung Cancer Researcher Took Funds from Tobacco Company
Two prominent lung cancer researchers took several million dollars in financial support from tobacco giant Ligget & Myers and failed to report that conflict of interest when their controversial study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, the New York Times reported last week. Claudia Henschke and David Yankelevitz of Weill-Cornell Medical College in New York disclosed at the end of their 2006 research article promoting routine CT scans to detect early stage lung cancer that their study was funded in part by the Foundation for Lung Cancer: Early Detection, Prevention & Treatment. However the authors failed to disclose that the foundation received $3.6 million--nearly all of its funding--from Vector Group, the parent company of Ligget & Myers.
Henschke, Yankelevitz and other prominent officials from Weill-Cornell Medical College served on the foundation, with Henschke serving as president. The Vector Group issued a press release at the end of 2000 announcing the company's intention to give $2.4 million for Henschke's research. Her research ultimately produced a 2006 study that claimed giving smokers routine CT scans could prevent 80 percent of lung cancer deaths. "You have to ask yourself the question, 'Why did the tobacco company want to support her research?" Dr. Jerome Kassirer, a former editor of NEJM and author of "On the Take," told the Times. "They want to show that lung cancer is not so bad as everybody thinks because screening can save people; and that's outrageous."
The Cancer Letter previously reported that Henschke and Yankelevitz failed to disclose to NEJM, the Journal of the American Medical Association and other journals that they hold a patent licensed to General Electric on interpreting CT scans. Lasts week, JAMA published a corrected conflict of interest disclosure that included all previously unreported financial disclosures of Henschke and Yankelevitz. JAMA, which had published a 2006 study and a 2007 letter to the editor by the researchers, noted the authors' patent and patent applications were relevant and would have been published if they were known. Last month, the NEJM admitted that the journal's editors knew about the authors' conflicts of interest on the patent, but felt that they were not relevant to the study.
Group Demands Protection for 681 Species
WildEarth Guardians last week demanded that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finalize Endangered Species Act listing decisions for nearly 700 species of rare or dwindling wildlife and plants in the western United States. The lawsuit challenges the agency's failure to issue findings in response to two petitions the group filed last summer. The 681 species named in the suit were selected from the Natureserve database, which compiles information on species status from a network of international biological inventories and which is used by the FWS to make listing decisions. "We need to elevate the pace on obtaining federal protection for our nation's wildlife and plants," said Nicole Rosmarino, the group's conservation director. "Too many species are slipping through the cracks as the extinction crisis escalates."
The Washington Post reported last week that the Bush Administration has made it substantially harder for species to obtain protection under the Endangered Species Act. FWS political appointees, according to the article, have changed the standards used to determine whether a species is in jeopardy and limited the sources of scientific data that can be used to make that determination. "One of the biggest threats facing species is the very agency that is supposed to be protecting them," said Rosmarino. A FWS spokeswoman attributed the slowdown in listings to extra work caused by lawsuits by conservation groups.
Industry Studies Informed FDA Finding on BPA
An investigation by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has revealed that the Food and Drug Administration relied on two industry-funded studies to determine that the chemical bisphenol-A poses little risk to humans. The studies behind the FDA's ruling last November came from the Society of the Plastics Industry, a subsidiary of the American Chemistry Council. One of the studies had never been published nor peer reviewed. The other was based on flawed experimental methods, according to the Environmental Working Group. Both studies said that the low levels of BPA to which humans are exposed caused no adverse effects in rodents. A National Toxicology Program report on BPA has also been controversial because it relied on data compiled by an industry consulting group. BPA, which is found in plastic containers and the linings of metal cans, has been found in the urine of 93 percent of Americans.
Odds and Ends
A Harvard University study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that drugs approved right before review deadlines set by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act are more likely to cause safety problems than drugs approved well before deadlines. The FDA rejected the study's results. . . . The British government announced last week that it will force drug companies to disclose all safety data generated by clinical trials of their products. The move to strengthen current regulation comes after an investigation by the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency concluded that GlaxoSmithKline delayed releasing information on the risk of suicide in teens from its anti-depressant Seroxat . . . . Eli Lilly, maker of the anti-psychotic Zyprexa, which has been linked to diabetes and heart disease, settled the first of many lawsuits with states around the country. Lilly, which was accused of concealing the risks of Zyprexa from the public, agreed to pay Alaska $15 million.
