Reviews for Rich and Creamy Tomato Soup
"My husband says this is the best tomato soup he's ever had (and he'll be 60 this year!). I took the advice of another reviewer and added the pepper jack cheese and made a few minor changes as follows: used 1 cup of half & half, then 1/2 a cup of whole milk (instead of 1-1/2 cups of milk). Used "Hunts Diced Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic" instead of plain ol' diced tomatoes, also used the full amount of paprika and ground basil. I added 5 slices of chopped up pepper jack cheese from a 12 ounce pre-sliced package. When this was all mixed and done, I used my handy-dandy inversion blender to make the soup smooth as silk before serving This was super rich and delicious! Thanks!"
"Delicious! So easy and quick, but tastes like you've spent a lot of time and effort. I always sauté some minced garlic in with the onions as well as add cheese periogies (the frozen Mrs.T brand) at the end and let them simmer for a few minutes before serving. Along with grilled ham and cheese, it's an easy dinner that everyone really enjoys."
"This was very good - even without the cream cheese. I would increase the basil by another half to 1 tsp. and also the garlic powder to about 1/2 a tsp. to give it a little more punch."
"My family has been making this soup for years, and it's a favorite. It's easy to make and very flavorful. I've had many requests for this recipe. It's a winter time staple in our household. Enjoy!"
"i used 8 cups of pureed tomatoes, left out the onion, used 1/4 cup butter. after cooking, i strained the soup. very yummy!!!!"

Mary Sue Milliken cares about health, but she's no food prude. On a recent visit to Yountville, California, during the EcoDriven with Toyota and Friends event, the Top Chef Masters first runner-up spoke to More about crispy pigs' ears (yup, they are trendy) and healthier fare. But don't worry. Healthy eating can, according to Milliken, also include bacon.
MORE: Can we love food and be healthy?
In the 1980s and '90s I knew it was easy to please people with cream, butter, fat, salt and pork. That's a no-brainer. But I've been working hard to come up with dishes that are just as satisfying, yet have a huge emphasis on plant-based ingredients.
MORE: For instance?
My mom had cans of beans in her pantry, and I added fresh beans, fried some bacon and made a vinaigrette. It's like a Midwestern three bean salad from my childhood, only nicer, with chipotle chilies. I now serve it on a tostada or corn tortillas. I'm going to take those same flavors and put them in a soup. Tonight I'm making a bean stew with a tiny bit of smoked pork.I also do yellow split peas with basmati rice, caramelized onions, tons of garlic and lots of chopped basil.
MORE: Do we need to retrain our palates?
Foodies have embraced the "nose to tail" eating trend, so I'm hopeful. It's a sin to kill a pig and not eat its ears. If you're going to kill it, you should eat all of it. I think the same thing will happen with fish. People say, "Oh, I eat tuna and salmon." Yeah, but that's one percent of the fish, and they're endangered. I'm passionate about making smaller fish, smelt and sardines, sexy and delicious.
MORE: How do you stay fit at 54?
I play soccer. The big famous men chefs lately look like they're going to pop. I say, "When I met you 20 years ago, you were svelte and gorgeous. Now you look like a helium balloon." Some of them take note. Some of them just laugh.
MORE: Any strategies for hard-working women?
I keep lots of fruits and vegetables around. And I pack things to eat. I made a farro salad last Saturday, and I've been eating leftovers with sliced tomatoes for lunch. Though it takes a little more time, you've got to prioritize what you put in your mouth. Awareness is the first step, just like therapy. I used to ask my therapist, "How do I change?" She said, "Relax, just be aware."

Sabina Kelley - Fur Is Dead!
Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone supporting the Fur Is Dead campaign is really, really, ridiculously good looking? Case in point, the next Fur Is Dead supporter I am profiling is internationally known pinup model Sabina Kelley.
Sabina is a well-known pinup model and burlesque dancer from Vegas. Sabina also owns the Staytrue Tattoo shop with her husband, and is covered in tattoos. I am sure she would support the peta2 statement "Ink Not Mink"!
Find out more about Sabina by taking a look at our Q&A with her below:
What do you define as your personal style?
I'm a Pinup Model, so I guess I define my style a cross of Rockabilly and Psychobilly. I love the 40's and 50's style from the cuffed up blue jean capris to the glamorous dresses. I have a Bettie Page haircut and always wear red lipstick. I'm obsessed with high heels and vintage lingerie.
Do you have any fashion "do's" and "don'ts"?
My fashion do's: always have a pair of black heels and a tube of red lipstick in your car, you never know when you're gonna get a flat tire and need some roadside assistance. Ha ha! My fashion don'ts are never wear sweats out of the house unless you're going to the gym, and never wear turtle necks or shoulder pads. Also, never wear socks if you're wearing capris. I don't like socks anyway unless I have to wear them to go bowling.
Why do you choose not to wear real fur? I don't wear real fur because I'm an animal lover, and I don't like it when people take my coat when it's cold outside, so why would you take an animal's?
What is your favorite animal? Why?
My favorite animal is a dog. I have an 80 pound Pit-bull who is my best friend. She never pisses me off and always loves me no matter what.
Do you have a favorite vegetarian dish? If so, what is it? My favorite vegetarian dish is a vegetarian burrito. Mexican food is my favorite and veggie burritos are the best!
What a doll! Thanks Sabina!

Requires Flash Player. | Transcript
(object placeholder)
1. Why should you use Government Information Sources in your assignments and papers?
- Government Information Sources provide authoritative, accurate, and current information on hundreds of subjects.
- Online Government Information Sources are available 24/7, as long as you have Internet access. This is information you can access even when the library is closed.
- You have already paid for this information through your tax dollars.
- All of the above.
The correct answer is:
d) all of the above. Government Information Sources do provide authoritative, accurate, and current information on hundreds of subjects. Plus, online Government Information Sources are available 24/7, as long as you have Internet access and yes, you have already paid for this information through your tax dollars.
2. What is the best way to find the Web site: "The American Memory Project?"
- Search for it in the library catalog.
- Search for it on www.usa.gov.
- Find it in Journal Finder.
- Any of the above.
The correct answer is:
b) www.usa.gov. You can find the American Memory Project there by searching the term "American Memory Project" in the search box or you can also find it by topic under "History, Arts and Culture."
3. Search for "Fishery Bulletin " in the library catalog. Are the 2005 issues available through the library at the University of Maryland College Park Campus?
- Yes, in print only.
- Yes, both online and in print.
- Yes, online only.
- No.
The correct answer is:
c) online only. There is a link from the catalog holdings to the the url for the journal. The electronic version began in 2001 and while the print version still exists, at College Park it is only available electronically.
4. Government documents are organized by?
- The Library of Congress Classification System.
- The SuDocs Classification System.
- The Dewey Decimal Classification System.
- The Goethals Library Classification System.
The correct answer is:
b) the Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs) Classification System, which is the system used by the Government Printing Office to classify or arrange government documents. Documents are arranged by the agency that produced them.
5. The main U.S. Government information portal is?
- www.usa.gov
- www.forms.gov
- www.irs.gov
- www.whitehouse.gov
The correct answer is:
a) www.usa.gov, which is the United States government's official information portal. From this web site, you can search various agencies, across agencies or by topic.
6. Federal Depository Libraries?
- Are located only in Washington DC.
- Are found all around the country.
- Only provide materials in print format.
- Are usually closed to the general public.
The correct answer is:
b) all around the country. The Federal Depository Library Program has established a network of depository libraries across the country to ensure citizens have access to government information. The McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland College Park is the Regional Depository Library for Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia. This means they receive all federal documents that are published through the Government Printing Office.
7. What isn't an example of Government Information?
- Sound recordings of Native American music.
- Postage stamps.
- Photos from space missions to Mars.
- Information on experiments with a new arthritis medicine.
The correct answer is:
b) postage stamps. Government agencies such as the Library of Congress will have sound recordings of native american music. The United States Post Office is technically not part of the US Government, but rather a corporation wholly owned by the government. However, the United States Department of the Treasury does have a Presidential Commission on the United States Postal Office in order to "...advise the President on the state of the United States Postal Service, prepare a report articulating a vision for the future of the United States Postal Service, and recommend the legislative and administrative steps necessary to enact reform needed to ensure the viability of postal services." Therefore, even though stamps can be considered historical information they are not considered government publications (information courtesy of UC Irvine library's government information quiz).
8. Which SuDocs number would come first?
The correct answer is:
a) A 57.2. Because the SuDocs Classification System is a whole number system, not a decimal system, each number that comes after a period is to be treated as a whole number. As such 2 comes before 10, 14, and 20 when you are counting.
9. Can you check out a Government Document from a USMAI Library?
- Yes.
- No.
- Only if you are a US citizen.
- Sometimes.
The correct answer is:
d) sometimes. Some documents can be checked out, others can not. Check the library catalog for its circulation status.
10. Who should you ask for assistance with Government Information Sources if you can't find what you need?
- A Washington DC bureaucrat.
- A reference librarian.
- Fellow classmates.
- No one, You're on your own.
The correct answer is:
b) a Reference Librarian. Reference librarians are always available to help you find the resources you need whether they are government information sources are not. In addition, many libraries have librarians who specialize in government information who can assist you.

Ogden's 25th Street is one of the best spots for the family this Halloween season. Read More
In Utah, during the 1970s, Halloween was the first time we went into the night on purpose. Dressed as little ghouls, goblins, ghosts and witches, we braved the dark in wild, shrieking packs, fearless behind our masks and make-up, secure that this night was ours. We belonged in the chilly fall air, the breeze creaking the skeletal trees, leaves crunching under foot. On this night, we were in league with the things that go bump in the night and the shadowy creatures lurking under our beds and in our closets. We junior demons could stride to our neighbors' porches to demand candy with the threatening incantation: "Trick or Treat!"— which meant, "Give me some candy, Brother Jorgensen, or I will vandalize your home."

Teeth Recontouring in London, Ontario
Teeth re-contouring and reshaping is used by cosmetic dentists to correct crooked, chipped, and overlapping teeth. During the procedure, the teeth are "sculpted" by removing a small amount of tooth structure and/ or by using a small amount of tooth colored laminate to build up the teeth. Contouring and reshaping of the teeth results in smoother and more uniformly and evenly spaced teeth. This procedure can also be used to round out pointy teeth, to reduce the length of lower teeth, and to reduce the width of teeth that overlap others. The procedure usually does not require the use of an anesthetic.
How long does the procedure take to finish?
The procedure may take several visits to the dentist to achieve the desired results.
How much does the procedure cost?
The cost varies considerably based on the amount of work that needs to be done. It can cost between $100 and $1,000 for the whole mouth. We also offer several dental financing options.
What are the possible adverse effects of teeth contouring and reshapi ng.
Some people do experience temporary sensitivity to heat and cold.
How long do the results of teeth contouring and reshaping last?
The results should be permanent.

In a state rife with land disputes, few are as polarizing as the one regarding SkiLink, a proposed transit lift between Canyons and Solitude. SkiLink is a hot-button social, environmental and economic issue for Utahns, and the divide between stakeholders is gaping. This is the fifth in a series of stories that will teach you everything you need to know about Utah's most controversial ski lift.
Any discussion regarding SkiLink has to include one word: speculation. When it comes to the proposed transport lift between Canyons and Solitude, many details are hypothetical, and there is still plenty that is undecided regarding SkiLink. This doesn't mean nothing has been solidified, though. Talisker, Canyons' parent company who proposed SkiLink, has made up its mind on multiple aspects of the lift. Deciphering what is fact and rumor, though, can be a challenge.
At this point in time, here is what we know.
SkiLink would be a three-mile gondola with 25 lift towers that would take riders from Canyons resort over to Solitude in 11 minutes. Riders could only unload at Canyons or Solitude—there would be no unloading outside of the resorts' current footprint. Canyons managing director Mike Goar says no ski runs or development beyond the lift towers will be done along the SkiLink path, meaning it would be transportation-only.
The Solitude terminal would be at the Eagle base area, while the Canyons terminal would be on the Panorama trail between the Dreamscape and Day Break lifts. Getting to the Canyons terminal would not be a speedy endeavor. Arriving there would require a skier or snowboarder to board four lifts (and the Cabriolet, if they start from the resort's main base area). According to Save Our Canyons director Carl Fisher, the trip from the Canyons base to where the SkiLink terminal would be located is an 85-minute trip even on days with minimal skier traffic.
The SkiLink path rises over the Wasatch ridge separating Summit and Salt Lake Counties and descends toward Solitude along a 30-acre, 150-foot wide path. SkiLink's track is near popular backcountry skiing destinations like USA Bowl and Bear Trap, and it crosses over the Wasatch Crest trail.
The price of the lift's construction is unknown, as is the price of a lift ticket. Canyons managing director Mike Goar says Canyons and Solitude will offer a joint pass that includes SkiLink access. He says the pass price would likely be in the neighborhood of a Canyons ticket, which is $105. Therefore, a Solitude-Canyons lift ticket could be in the $120 range.
To minimize environmental impact during construction, Goar says the lift would be erected using helicopters, which would allow SkiLink to be built without cutting service roads. Goar also says the chosen path covers an area that would require minimal tree removal.
These are the known facts regarding SkiLink, but with issues regarding environmental, economic and political impacts, things aren't so clear. Speculation runs rampant with SkiLink, but understanding the aforementioned facts provides a framework for discussions regarding the more prevalent, and blurry, aspects of the lift.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
Simply amazing! Start the trick by showing three brightly colored ropes- a red one, a blue one and a white one. Tie each one into a loop. Now you have three separate loops. Toss the loops into the air, and instantly the three loops turn into one big multi-colored loop! Yes, the individual ropes are no longer tied in three separate loops- they are one loop!
Very colorful and very startling! Great for talent shows, clown work and walkaround magic situations.
For a similar trick where three separate ropes turn into one long rope, see Patriotic Ropes Deluxe.
And that's all you need!
Carlyle introduced the concept of the Three-To-One Rope trick in the late 1920s.

Things to do in Phuket
Phuket is tropical paradise, home to palm-fringed white-sand beaches, world-class resorts, lush rainforests, warm blue seas and famous Thai hospitality. Flanked by the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean and abuzz with culture and activities galore, the South East Asian island is a playground for families, a hedonistic wonderland for backpackers, a romantic getaway for couples, and a luxury escape for business folk.
Phuket is one of Asia's most popular beach destinations. Divided into several lively areas, the island is abuzz with things to do and see. A hotbed of indulgences, Patong Beach is Phuket's tourism epicentre; home to endless streets of bars, restaurants, stalls and markets. 10 minutes south, the upmarket beachside neighbourhood of Karon is a popular escape for families and couples. More business than holiday, Phuket City is alive with the around-the-clock activity of markets, trade and eateries. For an unforgettable romantic getaway Phi Phi Island is a must-visit – made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio blockbuster, The Beach.
The island of Phuket has a number of shopping hubs, most notably Phuket City, Patong Beach and Karon Beach. Phuket City is a go-to for antique Asian art and crafts, as well as clothing, household knick-knacks and Thai silk. Patong has a bazaar-like feel with thousands of street stalls, hawking an abundance of fake goods, mass-produced clothing and hand-made garments. Karon hosts a wide beachside shopping avenue, where a range of handicraft shops can be found. To experience the true essence of shopping in Thailand, a visit to a market is a must do – The Phuket Weekend Market is the island's most famous market. Most vendors around Phuket expect customers to barter, with discounts of up to 40% off the original price on offer.
Phuket Island is inundated with restaurants, bars, cafes and street-food carts. Patong Beach is southern Thailand's culinary epicentre, hosting hundreds of cuisines in all types of locales from award-winning eateries to cheap street stalls. Phuket City is abuzz with around-the-clock activity, as early morning markets hawk fresh produce and seafood, while the night is animated with busy restaurants, disco-techs and bars. Phuket is particularly famous for its seafood. Seafood is generally barbecued, fried or steamed and is infused with spices and herbs like garlic, lemon grass, chili, mint, cumin, basil and coriander.

I wouldn't call it trolling.
That's because need to be subtle to troll people kirby
Trolling is a harsh word for it, im picking one side of the debate that noones on and then arguing agianst the other side to my decent ability, because i find enjoyment in arguing with people, because it enhances my skills, and because it helps bring out points on subjects that i may even agree on, that i had never though about before, but yes in that instance i was "trolling"
Me personally, i would keep abortion legal
but people on here like to all argee on everything, meaning there isn't really ever a chance to say, he fuck you guys i disagree, and fully believe in the side i'm arguing over the otherside. If you really look through all the arguments, you will see arise more and more points that aren't given untill us arguing brings us to that point. See what i mean?
Edit: As they say, variety is the spice of life~
Sometimes people on a forum just like to hang out. Crazy, I know...
I remember when I did that back in, like, 2006
? I don't think my arguments are completely wrong either, just because i personally agree more towards the other side that i am arguing against.
Thats why i said i'm like half trolling. I'm not saying my arguments lose any validity by saying what i am saying, just that i personally disagree with what i am typing.
I think you guys do not understand the difference.
And i don't ever remeber losing any arguments, not even this one. I am very lienent with people. People disvalidate part of what i say, while not disvaluing even the main points sometimes, and then i don't push back on the points that are still strong, instead i argue with them on the points they want to pick on out of all of my points that are made.
Because that usually prevents tension and keeps the argument flowing in a more fun direction~
Like i've shown before, i could just bullet point every argument i ever want to make on here and even when i'm not arguing the side i agree with it will make my side alot more appealing and less invalidated by people arguing agianst me, because all of my points would be extremely clear.
LOL I don't think i've ever admitted to anything even close to that, and you thinking so is just a baseless assumption.
NO FUCKING SHIT abortion is mostly a practical issue. And no fucking shit abortion is a basic human right which the government should and cannot(atleast in the U.S.) ethically control.
You think i was so stupid i didn't realise this?
But there are more sides to the issue than just what is the obvious reasons behind why the law is the way it is, or why the law on some things should or shouldn't be changed.
There is the morality of the situations that can arise from these over hauling "ABORTION IS JUST LEGAL, no exceptions"
The same thing also goes for every law, and that is the point i was trying to make through arguing with anyone ever about any kind of criminal law. Situations are not black and white, and every law is flawed in some situations.
polly want a cracker?
which is such a heavy handed set of results it makes them almost useless. like all standardized tests there is too much "noise" to actually draw conclusions on mental capacity from them.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

Tom Papa Movies and Career Information
Nov 10, 1968
Nov 10, 1968
Comedian Tom Papa is known throughout the country for his many appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Television audiences also know Papa as the star of his own sitcom on NBC, Come to Papa, from March 2004. Papa grew up in New Jersey and first realized he wanted to be a comedian when, at a very young age, he heard Steve Martin's comedy album, Let's Get Small. Comedy became an addiction which he perfected in clubs throughout New York City. After about four years, Papa got his first big break. He was given a half-hour special for Comedy Central and was handpicked by Jerry Seinfeld as an opening act on his tour which continues to this day. Now, he says, "I'm in the lucky position of being able to make people laugh for a living." Papa has also appeared in the films Analyze That, Comedian, and is landing his voice-over talent to the upcoming animated feature Bee Movie. Papa lives in New York and Los Angeles with his wife and family.

Drivers Are Furious: Many Are Being Ripped Off By Not Following This 1 Simple Rule
Are you being scammed by your current insurer? New policies are indicating that for years many drivers have been overpaying on their car insurance.
This is the 1 simple truth your car insurance company doesn't want you to know. If you currently have insurance, are driving less than 35 miles/day on average and live in a qualified zip code you can get some huge discounts. In addition, if you have no DUI's on your record, you can get even more discounts. Has your car insurance company ever told you that?
When drivers enter their zip code at DiscountInsuranceRates.net many are shocked at the results they find. Most just cannot believe that the available rates are in fact real, but the truth is rates have dropped significantly over the past 12 months and thanks to new program policies it's now easy to save up to 45% or more with rates as low as $27/month.
Jessica Wagner, the authority on everything related to insurance, set out to do some research and determine whether these types of services live up to their reputations. After several weeks Jessica was able to report back on her findings, with her most exciting of which being that she is now going to save $296.28 on her own insurance premiums over the next year, and there are many other people who have done the same and better.
So, what is the "One Simple Rule?" NEVER buy car insurance without comparing all of the discounts available to you through an unbiased source.
Does this mean Jessica was being scammed by her former insurance agent? She would not say one way or the other, but the truth is most agents are paid on commission which means the higher your insurance premiums, the more money your agent makes. You can be sure, however, that your insurance company is not going to call you up to offer you a discount.
You are NOT locked into your current policy. If you pre-paid for your current policy you can cancel it and get back the balance of your pre-paid amount.
Based on these findings it is evident that the only way to get the discounted rates you deserve is to take matters into your own hands. Smart consumers already know this, and as a rule, are now choosing to use online tools to receive unbiased insurance quotes fast and hassle free.
With average savings of up to 45% or more, these online services are gaining massive popularity. According to ComScore's 2012 U.S. Online Auto Insurance Shopping Report, "nearly 70 percent of shoppers reported getting an online quote". The report also found that "the online channel remains the preferred channel for customers shopping for auto insurance policies". Research has found DiscountInsuranceRates.net™ to be one of the most trusted, secure and effective free online services that provide drivers with lower insurance rates. Congratulations to DiscountInsuranceRates.net for offering a wonderful service and for making a honest effort to help drivers all over America save money. If you too would like to receive the benefits of using this free service you can click here. Then just enter your zip code and click continue to gain access to the systems no obligation quotes. Once you go through a few questions, you will have the opportunity to compare the best carrier quotes available in your area.

Guy's I've searched but can't find the post's for this builder so I ask here.
A while ago I found a post from a builder who converted an AK to 7.62x25 and he modded a barrel by cutting off a chamber from a ppsh-43 barrel and pushing it into a drilled and bored out chamber area on the AK barrel.
I also think this builder took an AK barrel and Tig welded the chamber up and then recut the chamber area with a 7.62x25 reamer!
I am trying to find the post's and the builder any help would be greatly appreciated.
I guess my search parameters are all screwed up cuz I couldn't find the thread/posts/builders.

National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Robert Ballard tackles one of the enduring mysteries of World War IIthe role of a Japanese midget sub in the attack on Pearl Harbor. As he heads out to locate the sub's wreckage, Ballard is intrigued by the possibilities. Was the submarine Pearl Harbor's first casualty? Could it have escaped the U.S. destroyer that fired upon it? And, perhaps most critical, why didn't the sub's presence tip American forces to the approaching attack?
Ballard's quest is only part of the story. Survivors' accounts describe the attack in gripping, horrifying detail, and commentary by esteemed historian Stephen Ambrose sets Pearl Harbor into its historical context. Footage from a remotely operated submersible yields unprecedented glimpses of the U.S.S. Arizona, the downed battleship that still rests in the murky waters of Pearl Harbor.
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

Very Best Documentary On WWII.

About Me Casual Viewer

Comments about Pearl Harbor Legacy of Attack DVDÂ :
I have seen this Documentary before on the National Geographic Channel a while back and enjoyed it so I purchased this DVD for my player. It gives an accurate account of the famous Japanese Attack on WWII and the men along with the ships who lost their lives during the battle. The midget submarine that was suspected to start the Pearl Harbor Attack was sunk by a Navy destroyer. Also there might be some scary underwater scenes of the Arizona Battleship, not recommend for younger viewers but it shows the underwater wreck of the ship and it's leaking fuel and oil beneath the water. Yes, I highly recommend this to anyone or even a historian interested about the subject. Thank You National Geographic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The American Music Masters tribute to Janis Joplin, Kozmic Blues: The Life and Music of Janis Joplin, culminated Saturday night with a tribute concert at PlayhouseSquare's State Theater. The concert ended with Bobby Wood's terrific house band playing "Get It While You Can," a Jerry Ragovoy song that Janis Joplin recorded on Pearl. I felt such gratitude to the performers as they came out for a curtain call—they had all brought their best to tell Janis Joplin's story. Over the course of the night, they showed us Janis's deep musical roots in blues and folk, her galvanizing rock music, and her love for the soul music of her day.
An early highlight of the show was Guy Clark's "She Ain't Goin' Nowhere," a song he recorded on his debut album, Old No. 1 in 1975. Although the song wasn't written about Janis, it was a perfect song to capture her desire to leave Texas and make a space for herself out in the world. Guy and Janis played the same circuit in Houston and Austin, Texas in 1965, and he recalled meeting her back then. Janis also crossed paths with Roky Erickson, who played a blistering "You're Gonna Miss Me" on Saturday night—imagine if Janis had gotten her hands on that song! Janis's fellow travelers, Powell St. John (who played with her during her University of Texas-Austin days), Country Joe McDonald, Bob Neuwirth, and Nick Gravenites (who wrote "Buried Alive in the Blues" and "Work Me Lord") brought the personal connection to her that is part of what makes American Music Masters so unique. Gregg Rolie and Michael Carabello, founding members of Santana, shared the bill several times with Big Brother and the Holding Company in San Francisco in 1968. Their performance of "Evil Ways" "Nobody to Depend On" showed the diversity of the San Francisco sound.
Bettye LaVette, who recorded "Piece of My Heart" in 1969, did a soulful version of the song along with a smoldering "A Woman Left Lonely" (written by Dan Penn and Rock Hall Inductee Spooner Oldham). Her performance connected Janis's story to other soul singers like Erma Franklin and Lorraine Ellison. Susan Tedeschi's version of "Tell Mama" brought the spirit of Etta James in the house, and Tedeschi's interpretations of "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" and "Kozmic Blues" brought the crowd to their feet. Ditto with Carolyn Wonderland's version of the gospel classic "Down on Me," which Janis learned from Odetta.
Two artists sang songs inspired by Janis: Country Joe McDonald performed "Janis" from Country Joe and the Fish's album I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die (1967) and Nona Hendryx worked up a version of "Night Bird" which Labelle recorded on Nightbirds (1974). But no one expected to get a brand new song for Janis written for the occasion. Lucinda Williams closed out the night with a new song inspired by Janis's life tentatively called "Difficult Child." Played solo on guitar, it was a poignant ending to the night and a testament to Janis Joplin's legacy. Lucinda's set also included "Me and Bobby McGee" and a stripped down, bluesy version of "Ball and Chain" that showed the range of music that Janis Joplin recorded.
Thanks to all the artists who traveled to Cleveland to take part in a tribute to Janis Joplin that showcased her depth and significance as a singer and artist. And thanks to Laura and Michael Joplin, Janis's sister and brother, who supported our work and even jumped on stage with their daughters for a sweet version of "Mercedes Benz" with Bob Neuwirth.

Baltimore County News
Gregory Wm. Branch, MD, MBA, CPE
Director, Health and Human Services | Health Officer
On Friday, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced that the County will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) soliciting non-profit organizations to provide animal sheltering services for dogs and cats on a long-term basis.
It makes perfect sense for the County to take a fresh, creative approach to solving problems associated with animal care by establishing public-private partnerships with non-profit organizations that provide animal sheltering and adoption services.
Organizations would receive grant funding to offset a portion of the cost of the services and the balance of the cost would be covered by fees, sales, and other revenues from fund raising events, charitable contributions, interest earnings and endowments. The County would continue to run its own shelter, focusing on public health concerns such as rabies and cases of animal cruelty.
Public-private partnerships are agreements between private organizations and government agencies for the provision of services to the community. These partnerships cut costs, support local businesses, increase public satisfaction, and when it comes to animal care, they save lives.
Baltimore County has been studying this issue for more than a year, and this kind of private-public partnership is a blueprint for success in addressing our animal care needs. It will allow non-profits to do what they do best – providing long-term care and adoption services – while the County continues to focus on the public health issues associated with animal care.
The RFP will be formally posted online this week on the County website.

DOT secretary to give date for I-85 South bridge opening
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 3:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 3:32 p.m.
N.C. Department of Transportation Secretary Tony Tata will visit Davidson and Rowan counties Thursday to announce when the new I-85 South bridge over the Yadkin River will open to traffic.
Tata will address the media at 9:30 a.m. The event will take place on the new I-85 South bridge, with the old Yadkin River Bridge in the background.
NCDOT broke ground in September 2010 on the southern segment of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project, which involves replacing eight bridges, widening 3.3 miles of I-85 and reconstructing the N.C. Highway 150 interchange. The northern segment extends the interstate widening by an additional 3.8 miles from north of N.C. 150 to just north of I-85 Business Loop. Work on both phases is concurrent and should be complete this summer.
For more information on both phases of the $201.5 million project, visit www.i-85yadkinriver.com.

The very idea that I am back will usually send shivers down the backs of most people. I could go on a rant but you'd already start disagreeing with me. Why? Because people hold to an idea that somebody is bad even when it has become worn out. Heck, I could probably make a speech like Lincoln's and you'd say "STFU!!!!!!" I realize what was wrong with me and I could change it, but you'd still all hate me for no current reason. I have had what you might call "training" from a certain other forum. Not only did I obtain a very hard resistance to flaming that maybe Mario could scratch, but I also learned how to easily detect sarcasm and secrecy. I know I still won't get any respect and AZN will probably ask if I'm trying to be funny in this post. I'm just repeating what many people have said their reactions before were. I bid you all ado, because I have accidentally gone on a small rant. I hope you all get raped by this post.

You Scream, We All Scream
You don't need an excuse to crave ice cream, but July is National Ice Cream Month. National Ice Cream Day is July 21. Utah has a great reputation for ice cream consumption-eighth in the nation-but also, unfortunately, a statistically apparent preference for cheap ice cream. We're going to ignore that in these pages and go straight to the most extravagant ice cream consumption possible: the banana split. Read More

Baseball Falls in 12 Innings at Georgetown, 3-2
A 12th inning Christian Venditti walk-off RBI single handed Georgetown a series sweep and the Princeton baseball team a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in Bethesda, Md.
The Tigers held a 10-8 hit differential and only committed one error to the Hoyas' pair, but it was not enough to over come their host in the series finale.
Nate Baird, Mike Ford and Steve Harrington each had two hits apiece, with Harrington and Peter Owens accounting for both runs off RBI at-bats.
Along with his production at the plate, starting pitcher Ford threw nine innings and struck out three, while giving up six hits and two runs. He ended with the no decision, as reliever Danny Thomson went 2.0 frames and gave up the game-winning run in the 12th.
Harrington propped Princeton to a 1-0 advantage off an RBI single to left field in the first, but the Tigers were unable to create a multi-run cushion before Georgetown knotted things up the next inning.
Princeton saw its next best chance to add to its lead in the third, stranding runners in a bases loaded situation.
Ford went three scoreless innings before Princeton reestablished a one-run lead. With runners on the corners, Owens hit an infield RBI single to put the Tigers up 2-1 in the seventh. It was their second three-hit inning, but Princeton was unable to extend the scoring and left two runners on base.
The Hoyas' managed to tie things up again in the eighth.
Princeton stranded a pair of runners in the top of the ninth, but Ford retired the side in the bottom half of the frame to force extra innings.
The Tigers suffered their second 12-inning loss of the year off Venditti's walk-off RBI single down the left field line.
Princeton (1-10) plays North Carolina on Tuesday, Mar. 19, before taking on Elon and UNC-Greensboro the following day in a twinbill.

Tessa Barton - Photography
Barton's photography focuses on the poverty she encountered in India, while at the same time exploring the passion and raw beauty of this culture. She tries to express "a depth of understanding of the circumstances many of these people live in" through her photography as she tells "the story of lives through [her] photographs."
(Pride - Photography - Tessa Barton)One of her most powerful pieces, entitle Recluse was of an old man who was blind. "He was open-hearted and willing to let us into his life," she explains in her artist statement. "The foundation I was working with had found a way to surgically heal this man. Although it only worked for one eye, this man was able to see again after 35 years. I will never forget the joy of that day." Each of Barton's photographs opened my eyes to the hope that arises from the poverty in India.
Naomi Marine - Mixed Media
Marine's mixed media left a lasting impression on me as well. A room in the gallery was hung with her 3D art, all of it large enough for the viewer to interact with it. She notes that her exhibit "is a 'submersive' environment in which a series of fantastical organisms engage in complex, poetic patterns of growth and decay."
The exchange of artist and viewer was almost conversational. One piece, Seed and Shadow left me with many ponderings. Her art truly created what Marine describes as a "shadowy, transitory space" where the viewer could "fluctuate between alternate states of being." The best way to understand this is to experience Marine's art for yourself.
Helenka Bimstein - Mixed Media
(Sculpture Pranksters in front of painting Snakes and Celebrants)Bimstein's art touched my soul. Her detailed paintings each tell a story in an extremely passionate way. Her original artist statement explains that the evolution of her art is "an attempt to recover that moment of almost lost, innocent discovery." Bimstein's son and daughter were there, telling me what it's like having had a mother like Helenka (she passed September 2010). Phillip Bimstein explained that his mother's art is very musical. "She's very romantic in every piece and in her life" he explains, mentioning that his mother was still hoping to "get a man" at age 96 (since her husband had passed 18 years before).
(Philip Bimstein, center in black, addresses gallery patrons
about Helenka Bimstein's artwork.)Phillip's sister, Barbara described the first time she came across her mother's paintings behind a furnace: "I had a fit because she wasn't still painting." The quality of her mother's work had touched her deeply. "I nurtured her to take hold of herself and her art," Barbara explained.
(Bright Orb in Vegetal World - Watercolor - Helenka Bimstein)Truly, the most lingering emotion I had after gazing into the soul of each of the artist's masterpieces was one of awe. I will not soon forget encountering such passion and vibrancy of emotion on display throughout the gallery, nor the bittersweet pride of the children of Helenka Bimstein. To read more about Bimstein's life and artistic philosophies, click here.
Thank you to these three fine women who shared a portion of your souls, truly, you have made this world that much better of a place. The Finch Lane Gallery at 54 Finch Lane (1340 E 100 South, SLC) will feature these displays until March 4, M-F from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information call 801.596.5000 or visit www.slcgov.com/arts.

Give deserving kids bikes, and rub elbows with Valter Nassi...and maybe Lady Gaga.
Non-prof, Bikes for Kids Utah, puts two tix to the Grammy's (including the after party) on auction at their charity dinner at the end of the month. Music's biggest night happens Feb. 13, so you'll have plenty of time to save up for the trip to L.A.
Rumors is Rihanna will perform live at the show and winners are being predicted.
The organization plans to give away 1,000 bikes in 2011 to underprivileged kids in the Salt Lake valley, and the dinner generates momentum for the effort. "Our dinner's new location, Tuscan ambiance and high-caliber auction items will make this event a really exciting," says Bikes for Kids executive director Debbie Reid.
Other items for auction include two tix to Dancing with the Stars, including a meeting with the cast; week-long sty at a villa in Tuscany, Italy; Trip for four to the Virgin Islands; Amazon Cruise for two through Peru; Group vacation to Spice Island, Grenada and dozens of holiday gift baskets.
Last year, the dinner and auction raised nearly $17,000, and this year they are hoping to beat it. They just might, if I'm able to save enough in time to enter the Grammy auction. Bid high, eliminate the competition early.
Bikes for Kids Utah Dinner and Auction 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 30 Cucina Nassi, 2155 S. Highland Drive. Click here for tix, $100 per person or $1,000 for a table of 10

Fireworks highlight Fourth of July events
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
America's independence will be celebrated twice in Davidson County at two different events this week for the Fourth of July.
Want to celebrate the fourth of July?
• City of Lexington: The Fantastic Fourth of July, which includes music, rides, inflatables and other amusements, will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at Finch Park on Paul Beck Road. The evening will conclude with a fireworks show after 9. The event is free and open to the public. Shuttle service is available from the Roses parking lot on Talbert Boulevard.
High Rock Lake: The Fireworks Show at High Rock Lake will take place Friday in celebration of the Fourth of July. Music will begin shortly after 6 p.m., and the fireworks show will start close to 8 p.m. Boats can gather in front of the Top of the Rock Marina on North Shore Drive in Oakwood Acres, and cars will not be allowed to park on the N.C. Highway 8 bridge in Southmont. Roads leading to the area will be closed at 7 p.m.
The City of Lexington Parks and Recreation Department will continue its tradition at Finch Park on Thursday with the Fantastic Fourth of July, which features children's attractions, live music and a fireworks show at the end. Fireworks and music will also happen at High Rock Lake on Friday thanks to community members who raised money for the festivities.
This is the 17th year thousands are expected to take advantage of the gift from the City of Lexington on the national holiday. The free event is open to everyone. Opening ceremonies will be at 6 p.m. Also during that time the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3074 will present the colors, and Allison Crowell will perform the national anthem. A new band will provide the musical entertainment this year — Ken Davis and the High Rock Players.
Rides, inflatables and amusements for all ages will be offered at the park, all free. The Lexington Recreation Boosters Club will provide food for a small fee. Some items include hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, sno-cones, cold drinks and other snacks. All proceeds will go to the parks and recreation's youth athletic program.
A little after 9 p.m., a fireworks show, provided by Jeff Hale with Hale Artificer Fireworks of Lexington, will light up the sky to end the celebration.
Bruce Davis, director of the city parks and recreation department, said the event is a major production that displays family entertainment at its finest. He noted it is hard to find so much entertainment for free.
"It's the best ticket in town July 4. There's family fun, enjoyment, and the price is right," he said.
Fireworks for Friends of High Rock Lake will have the fireworks launch from Top of the Rock on Abbotts Creek on Friday, the day after the holiday. Top of the Rock is at 339 N. Shore Drive. A 300-foot perimeter will be in place around the business that people will not be able to cross.
Barry Hamilton, co-owner of Top of the Rock, said the event is packed each year. Other co-owners are Shawn Freeman and Dave Greenamyer.
The show had been sponsored by the River Rats of High Rock Lake for more than 10 years. In 2010, the group decided it wanted to use its money elsewhere to fit its mission. The past two years, High Rock Lake resident Daniel Batchelor took care of the expenses.
Due to the event being a yearly tradition, Hamilton said, they did not want the festivities to end because so many families enjoyed it.
"Adults like fireworks, but children love fireworks. It's awesome," Hamilton said.
Organizers have been collecting money since earlier this year for the show to take place. The goal was to raise $10,000. Hamilton reports they didn't meet the goal, but they were very close.
"It's been a challenge," Hamilton said. "As we talked to people in the community everybody supported us. Even in this hard economic time people still wanted it. It's a life-changing experience to see how the community comes together when someone is in need."
The festivities will begin shortly after 6 p.m. with a presentation of the colors from Central Davidson High School's Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, the national anthem and then musical entertainment. Bill Freeman of Zambelli Fireworks will provide the fireworks show between 8:30-9:30 a.m.
Roads around the Boat Dock Marina on North Shore Drive in Oakwood Acres will shut down at 7 p.m. along with all other roads leading to the area. Boats can gather in front of the marina, and people can pack the shores of Oakwood Acres, but parking is not allowed on the N.C. Highway 8 bridge in Southmont. Boats are required to keep their lights on.
After the fireworks show, Hamilton noted there will be an after party at Top of the Rock featuring The Darrell Hardwood Band.
Hamilton thanked agencies and officials such as with Southmont Volunteer Fire Department, Davidson County Emergency Medical Services. N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, N.C. Highway Patrol, N.C. Department of Transportation, Davidson County Rescue Squad and Davidson County Board of Commissioners for assisting in making the festivities take place safely for residents. Hamilton also thanked everyone who donated something no matter the amount.
"Thank you. Without people donating this wouldn't have happened," he said.

For more than 10 years, I've celebrated Hollywood's annual glitz-fest (and it's associated observer's snark-fest) at an Oscar party thrown by my good friends. Since we are all avid cooks and eaters, the one result I always know for sure is even if the show is awful, the food will be great. This is probably why while others wonder who's going to win, what they'll wear, and who'll lose their nominated acting skills when it comes to hiding their disappointment at not winning, I'll be thinking about food. To be fair, I'm usually thinking about food, regardless of awkward host moments and tear-filled acceptance speeches. But this year's annual Tinsel Town fete got me thinking…there really should be an Oscars for food.
It wouldn't be all that different from Sunday's broadcast when you give it some thought. The pre-show red tablecloth would feature a buffet of mostly appealing nominees (and a few of questionable taste), circled by a flock of pundits issuing running commentary like "can your believe they put THAT sauce on that fish," and "this year saffron is the new black truffle!" The less popular categories go first — Best Foreign Entry (I'm pulling for porcinis), Best (recipe) Writing, Best Costume (plating) and Best Makeup (garnishing). Thankfully, the academy choses to leave out Best Hair. This year's supporting category looked like a contest at first, but by ceremony time everyone knew that roasted fingerlings with pancetta was a shoe-in. Then we get to the "big" award. Best producer is always a hot contest between cow, chicken, goat and sheep, but the dark-horse soybean could make a last minute grab due to the growing Hollywood vegan vote.
O.K., maybe I'm stretching it a bit here. But with a likely five-hour odyssey of programming and maybe 40 minutes of good content, a gal's got to find plenty to occupy the mind when George Clooney isn't on screen. Luckily, my stomach will have plenty of great food to occupy it too.
Dear members of the Academy: I'd like to submit my Mushroom Ragu for your consideration in the Best Supporting Sauce category. This dark rich sauce is perfect with a burger, steak or a roast, and can play a leading role on pasta, potatoes or my favorite, polenta. Hopefully you'll like it…you'll really like it!
Mushroom Ragu
Makes about 1 ½ cups
½ TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP butter
1 package (10 oz.) sliced cremini mushrooms
¼ ounce dried porcini mushrooms
¾ cup boiling water
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped thyme
½ tsp finely chopped rosemary
¼ cup chopped onion
1 tsp tomato paste
2-3 TBSPs dry sherry
1 TBSP corn starch
1 TBSP soy sauce
A good squeeze of lemon (about ¼ of a lemon's worth)
Salt and pepper
Add the dried porcinis to a bowl and cover with 3/4 cup boiling water. Let steep for 15 minutes. Scoop out the mushrooms and chop, reserving the mushroom liquid.
Sauté onions, mushrooms, herbs and a pinch of salt over medium heat until the onions are wilted, the mushrooms have given up most of their liquid and the pan is just moist, about 7-9 minutes. Add the garlic and a few grinds of pepper and sauté another minute or two until the pan is dry. Add in the tsp of tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes until the tomato paste is a dark mahogany color. Remove the pan from heat and deglaze with the dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits in the pan. Strain the mushroom liquid into the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the tablespoon of soy sauce and a tablespoon of water. Add to the pan and stir 2-3 minutes over a slow simmer. The sauce will thicken as you stir. Turn off heat and squeeze in a quarter lemon. This sauce freezes well, so I will often make a double batch and stow half until I need it (like when I want it over a humble baked potato for dinner.) Calories: approximately 115 per half cup.

News: Offense Void For Baseball
For the fourth time in the past nine games, the Pasadena City College baseball team failed to plate a run as Mt. San Antonio handed the hapless Lancers their 12th consecutive South Coast Conference loss, 9-0, Tuesday. The game was the first of a 3-game set between the two teams played at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.
PCC is 4-24 overall and 1-12 in the conference. Mt. SAC leads the SCC at 20-8 and 10-3 in league games.
Mt. SAC lefty Derrick Penilla was brilliant v. the Lancers. He threw a complete-game, 3-hit shutout as Pasadena struck out a season-high 14 times. After PCC shortstop Josh Clark singled with one out in the first inning, Penilla retired the next 21 batters in order before allowing a basehit to second baseman Tyler Dominguez in the eighth.
The Lancers had a rough start from knuckleballer ace Tim Shiba, who allowed five earned runs and eight hits in just three innings of work. PCC's relief staff combined to allow only one earned run and six hits with Trevor Gleason (3-1/3 innings), Matt Monge (recorded two outs), Jeffrey Cortez (one inning) and Spencer Stute (one inning) all shutting down the Mounties' offense.
For the most part, PCC's pitching has kept the team in games, but the offense has been a major concern of late. In the previous 3-game series v. Cerritos College, the Lancers scored just three runs combined, losing to the Falcons, 7-2 (April 2), 7-0 (April 4), and 4-1 (April 6). Pasadena ended March (28) with a 7-0 non-conference loss at Ventura.
In seven of their last 10 games overall, the Lancers have scored one or no runs. In the past seven SCC games, the team amassed eight runs. In the last nine overall losses since March 19, the team has averaged exactly one run per defeat, including an outburst of four runs on March 23 v. East Los Angeles.
In the five losses since the Lancers last won v. Cerro Coso, 6-3, in a non-conference tilt March 27, PCC mustered just 22 hits and only one extra-base knock, a double by catcher Cameron Silva. The team's batting average has dropped to .227 overall and .242 in conference games. The team slugging percentage is a woeful .260 in 28 games.
Against Cerritos, Shiba opened the series with a quality start, allowing only six hits and two earned runs with two walks in seven innings but took the loss. In the series finale, Stute hurled six innings of 5-hit ball, allowing two earned runs, walking four and striking out three. In fact, Stute started consecutive games for the Lancers as he also tossed five innings (five hits, three runs) in the Ventura defeat. Stute, a sophomore who was converted from a first baseman role last year, leads PCC in conference ERA with a 2.82 mark in 22-plus innings.
Sophomore Evan Stransky continues to lead the team in overall ERA (3.78), and holds a 2-5 record with a team-high 30 K's in 50 innings pitched. Shiba, who started the season strong, has slipped a bit, now 1-6 in record and still a respectable 4.40 ERA in 59-1/3 innings.
First baseman David Halstead is the team's top batter with a .298 overall mark and .348 conference average.
The Lancers next play Mt. SAC on Thursday, April 11 in a 6 p.m. evening first pitch in Walnut.
