PINETOP, Ariz. - The University of Arizona women's soccer team took the field for its first game of the season in an exhibition scrimmage. Team "Blue", coached by assistant Harold Warren, took on team "Red and White", coached by assistant Lisa Oyen. Warren's team was victorious winning the game 6-1. The scrimmage was highlighted by Pinetop native Laura Huylebroeck who had a hat trick on the day for team "Blue".
"Overall, there were a lot of positives on both sides of the ball," said head coach Dan Tobias. "We really like how both teams were able to adjust. Today was a really good completion to our preseason. We have had very productive experiences on and off the field and today's match gave us more good information on how to improve the group. As a whole, we all feel really good about where we are."
Team "Blue" got out to an early lead when freshman Huylebroeck scored on a corner kick from fellow freshman Jasmine Namdar in the sixth minute. Freshman Jacqueline Broussard made it 2-0 with her on goal corner kick in the 13th minute. The first half ended 2-0.
In the second half, team "Blue" extended its lead when Huylebroeck scored her second goal three minutes in, assisted by sophomore Gianna DeSaverio. Huylebroeck then got a hat trick with her third goal of the day. Sophomore London King had team "Red and White's" only goal of the game. Broussard and DeSaverio each scored a goal for team "Blue" to make the final score 6-1.
Sophomore Chelsea McIntyre played the first half for team "Blue" and recorded two saves. She was in goal for team "Red and White" in the second half and had four saves. Team "Blue" had 17 shots on the day while team "Red and White" had 11.
The team will prepare this week for its road trip to Michigan. Arizona will take on Oakland on Friday, Aug. 25 in Rochester, Mich.

Jim Tedisco Not Desperate at All
He asks a court to declare him the winner even though he's losing. Huh?
In a move that makes zero sense on its face, Republican Jim Tedisco, who is locked in a tight race with Democrat Scott Murphy for Kirsten Gillibrand's old congressional seat, has "submitted a petition to the Dutchess County Supreme Court Thursday asking the judge to declare him the winner of the extremely close special election." The thing is, Tedisco is currently down by 264 votes. As Josh Marshall suggests, there could be a reasonable explanation that would make this sound less ridiculous although it would be perfectly consistent with Tedisco's other Coleman-esque moves if there wasn't.

Proposed connector trail from downtown Boulder
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the Daily Camera
There is a huge pdf file attached to the Daily Camera's story that gives enormous amounts of details to the proposal. At least a 2 cocktail/2 hour read.
Boulder open space officials are calling for a new configuration to two planned pedestrian and equestrian loops on Anemone Hill, as well as a new connector trail for mountain bikes that would link Settlers' Park to Fourmile Canyon Drive.
But the staff recommendation, which was unveiled Tuesday, would continue to ban bike access on the two main loops on Anemone Hill.

Receptor Boosters are used to temporarily elevate the density of viral receptor proteins on the surface of any target cell that you wish to infect. The Ecotropic Receptor Booster, for example, allows you to efficiently transduce human cells with ecotropic retrovirus or lentivirus that otherwise could only infect rodent cells. In fact, the technology also allows you to increase the infection efficiency of any type of cells that are resistant to viral infection. More product information >>
Transduction of human cells with ecotropic lentivirus. HT1080 cells (human fibrosarcoma cell line) were plated in 6-well plates 24 hr prior to transduction and incubated with Ecotropic Receptor Booster (10 µl) for 2 hr. Cells were then transduced with Lenti-X ZsGreen1 lentivirus (MOI=~15) and assayed 48 hr later for ZsGreen1 expression. Lentiviral supernatant was produced using our Lenti-X Ecotropic Packaging System.

Toshiba Tablet with Android 3.1 Honeycomb launching in Canada in August
Toshiba has officially announced that its very first Android 3.1 Honyecomb tablet would be available in Canada starting August.
Now, this tablet is the Thrive that we've seen several times before, but Toshiba Canada doesn't call it like that. It simply refers to it as the Toshiba Tablet. Maybe it plans to re-brand it for the Canadian market, who knows?
Anyway. The tablet – the Toshiba Tablet – features a 10.1 inch screen with 1280 x 800 pixels, "Adaptive Display and Resolution+ video enhancement technologies" for image sharpness and clarity, Wi-Fi, GPS, HDMI, stereo speakers with SRS Labs sound enhancement, 5MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
The tablet's prices will be as follows:
- $429 (8GB version)
- $479 (16GB version)
- $579 (32GB version)
Canadian customers will be able to buy the Toshiba Tablet from various retailers, including Best Buy, Future Shop, Walmart and Staples. A series of optional accessories will be available for the tablet, including an HDMI multimedia dock, and a Portfolio 360 case that "features a patent-pending rotating design that enables users to position the tablet at multiple viewing angles in both landscape and portrait modes without removing the tablet from the case."

Roasted Red Pepper Soup
6-8 red, orange or yellow bell peppers (not green), halved, cored and seeded
1/2 jalapeno pepper, cored and seeded
4-5 medium-large tomatoes, cut in half, or about 20 grape tomatoes, whole
4 large garlic cloves, in their paper
1 large onion, peeled and cut in half
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Pinch cumin
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Put all of the vegetables into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Places all on the pan, and pour olive oil over top (you will use 2-4 tablespoons). Using your hands, toss to coat, and arrange cut side down.
Roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes, until the pepper and tomato skins are blistered and charred and the garlic and onion are soft.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool until the vegetables are cool enough to handle. Use your hands to remove the skins from the peppers and tomatoes and place into a 4-quart pot. Cut the ends off garlic and squeeze the roasted garlic out into the pot, along with the onion. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 15 minutes (uncovered). Taste and add cumin, salt and pepper.
Use a hand blender to puree the soup. If you are using a blender, allow the soup to cool before placing it in the blender, in batches, to puree. Taste again, and add salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, croutons or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Ah, it's been one of the greatest NFL debates over the past few weeks. Should Tom Brady or Michael Vick win the league's MVP award or should they be co-MVPs?
Tuesday night's Vikings-Eagles result, a 24-14 loss by the favored Philadelphia Eagles, could be the notch that puts Tom Brady over the edge (at least this week). The New England Patriots survived a similar scare from the Green Bay Packers a few weeks ago without Aaron Rodgers at the helm, much like the Vikings were without Brett Favre. But the difference here is the outcome. The Patriots almost lost. The Eagles did lose to a team with a ticket to nowhere in the playoffs.
Michael Vick, playing injured, completed 25 of 43 passes for 263 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a pair of fumbles.
Sports analysts debated how much the Tuesday night game and weather affected play on the field, but if any team should have been negatively impacted it would have been the traveling Minnesota Vikings. But given the fact that this is the third consecutive week the Vikings had to deal with weather issues, I'm guessing they were well prepared.
So was this just an off night for Michael Vick and he's still your MVP or has Tom Brady locked up those honors?

Young party boy Alex Andrews loves to cruise the clubs, but he's never actually hooked up on a whim before. But Jimmy Durano, both handsome and hot, knows what he wants and isn't afraid to take it. When he sees Alex he's attracted to his cute face, blond hair, and tight skater body, and the two decide they need to use the bathroom. Without saying a word, when the pair of hot guys are at the urinals, Jimmy looks at Alex and moves in for a kiss. They start making out as Jimmy's cock gets hard in his pants. Alex knows what he wants, and that's to service Jimmy: he drops to his knees and starts to suck the hunk's thick uncut cock. Jimmy takes his tank top off, and his muscular body stands tall above Alex as he sucks Jimmy's cock and services his foreskin. Alex drops his own pants and Jimmy gives him a slow, attentive blowjob; he pays special attention to the head of Alex's uncut dick. But in the end, Jimmy is a power top and Alex loves nothing more than to offer his ass to a sexy, dominant guy. Alex props himself up on the urinals of the bathroom, exposing his tight hole in a position of total submission, and Jimmy loves it. With his pants still around his ankles, Jimmy slips his dick up into Jimmy and starts fucking the blond, who moans and groans with all of Jimmy's hot and heavy thrusts. To avoid getting caught, the clubbers hide out in a private bathroom. Alex gets onto his back so Jimmy can start up again. Alex takes Jimmy uncut cock like a champ, and it ends in an explosive cumshot!
Category: Interracial Blowjobs Fucking Uncut Cocks Latinos Monster Dicks Blonds

And Alex certainly has a wild streak: he once fucked in the hallway of his high school -- right outside his classroom! He deserves and A for effort!
Seattle-based pornstar Jimmy Durano was originally born in Brazil, and he has the big, fat uncut cock to prove it! Jimmy is built -- his body is unbelievable, and when he puts his full strength into fucking, it's truly something to witness! By day Jimmy is a graphic designer and by night he's showing off his goods as a go-go dancer and porn star. This Latin hunk is a total top and when he's fucking a guy, he loves to drill deep inside them doggy style! The craziest place Jimmy has fucked before is in a club bathroom at a party, and if he had his pick of where to have sex, it would be an airplane bathroom!

[to all candidates] Free Software challenges and Debian role
Stefano Zacchiroli <zack <at> debian.org>
(After 4 years, I'm again on the right side of the ballot box to ask questions... *cracking knuckles*) All candidates seem to agree that Debian has an important role to play in the Free Software movement at large. Good: I couldn't agree more! :) But then, one wonders, what are the main challenges that free software at large faces today? For one thing, it would quite pointless to have, say, Debian be a recognized free software "leader," if free software in itself is declining or doomed to fail. I'm not saying I think it is the case, but if our success is a part of free software success, we do need to have an opinion on how free software is going, outside our Project boundaries. What do candidates think of this? Is free software "going well"? Is it going to go "better" or "worse" in forthcoming years? Why? Then, if you think free software is not at its best at present, what do you think Debian could do to help? At a glance, Debian seems to have always done one thing (distributing free software) and has done so relatively well. Is that enough for current and future free software challenges? Or should we change to better face those challenges? Many thanks in advance for your answers, Cheers. -- -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . zack <at> upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Debian Project Leader . . . . . . <at> zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »(Continue reading)

TFF 2010: 'Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage': Exclusive Movie Clip
If you're not a fan of the Canadian rock band Rush (and many rock critics would belong to this group), the new documentary "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage" isn't likely to convert you. There's plenty here to back up the theory that the power trio behind the albums "2112″ and "Moving Pictures" are terminally uncool guys who write pseudo-intellectual songs with weird time signatures. For example, on stage in the '70s, the band members wore Kimonos.
But in the way of many Canadians, the bandmates — Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart — come across as such nice, unaffected rock stars. And the on-camera tributes from the likes of Billy Corgan and Kirk Hammett are so heartfelt that the cynical viewer begins to soften and appreciate if not Rush's music, than at least the fervor they stoke among fans — a bond so intense that drummer Peart appears freaked out by his own legion of admirers.
Co-directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn have wisely chosen not to convert critics but to play to those fans, and the film offers extensive interviews with band members and intimates as well as super-rare footage. "They really cleaned out our office vaults and discovered tapes that we didn't even know were lying around," frontman Geddy Lee said while in Manhattan on Saturday to attend the movie's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
In this exclusive clip from the film, which will be released in theaters in June, the band reflects on its early days playing teen dances in Ontario. Soon after, the members quit high school to devote themselves to Rush.
Geddy Lee sets up the clip:
"I think we were young, foolish and idealistic. And I think we really believed that we had to do this. School was getting in the way. I had really the greatest guidance counselor at school. He arranged that I only had to go for half a day the last year I was in school, just so I could leave early and we could drive up to Magnetawan, Ontario and play a Sadie Hawkins dance. But even with all his valiant effort to keep me in school, I couldn't see that as the life I wanted to live. I wanted to be a musician full time. No logic or common sense was going to stop me."

New legislation was introduced on Wednesday, January 30 that would require employers to be more transparent about what they pay their employees. The bill would also put the onus on employers to justify discrepancies in pay based on business or performance reasons and it would prohibit retribution against employees who ask what their peers are making.
An analysis of US Census Bureau data was also recently released by the National Partnership for Women & Families. It showed the top ten districts in the country with the greatest pay discrepancy between men and women.
More than showing me the unpleasant truth that a district in my state ranked number 3 in gender pay discrepancy, these news items made me think about how women need to plan differently for retirement than men do.
There are several reasons for this and pay discrepancy is a significant factor. If a woman works the same number of years and gets paid less for comparable work, there's a retirement income planning gap that has to be made up.
Women feel a double effect in this case. If you're not making as much as a man does doing the same job, then you have less income to begin with. That means you also have less money to save for retirement.
Women also are often the ones caring for aging parents—on either side of the family. Sandwiched between caring for aging parents and also for children in their late teens or college age years can keep women from thinking about their own need to plan for retirement income.
Most women are also quite likely to outlive their spouses or partners. That means they will spend on average even more years in retirement than their spouses. Whether or not the Paycheck Fairness Act passes, many women are already behind in their retirement income planning. They may not be taking full advantage of employer plan opportunities. It could be as simple as not having the time to sit down and talk about it.
Even if a spouse has a solid retirement plan in place, women need to know how that plan will affect them as well as how Social Security, their own retirement savings, and other factors may impact them later in life.
Sitting down for a conversation about your future needs is a good place to start. That conversation can happen with your spouse, your financial advisor, or both. The important thing is to make sure you are taking care of your own needs as well as the needs of your family and others.

As it's moved beyond the George R.R. Martin novels, the series has evolved both for better and for worse.
Well, that was more like it. Sunday night's Game of Thrones finale, "The Winds of Winter," was the best episode of the season—the best, perhaps, in a few seasons. It was packed full of major developments—bye, bye, Baelor; hello, Dany's fleet—but still found the time for some quieter moments, such as Tyrion's touching acceptance of the role of Hand of the Queen. I was out of town last week and thus unable to take my usual seat at our Game of Thrones roundtable. But I did have some closing thoughts about what the episode—and season six in general—told us about how the show has evolved.
Last season, viewers got a limited taste—principally in the storylines in the North—of how the show would be different once showrunners Benioff and Weiss ran out of material from George R.R. Martin's novels and had to set out on their own. But it was this season in which that exception truly became the norm. Though Martin long ago supplied Benioff and Weiss with a general narrative blueprint of the major arcs of the story, they can no longer rely on the books scene by scene. Game of Thrones is truly their show now. And thanks to changes in pacing, character development, and plot streamlining, it's also a markedly different show from the one we watched in seasons one through four—for the worse and, to some degree, for the better.
How much do you really need to say to put a sentence together?
Just as fish presumably don't know they're wet, many English speakers don't know that the way their language works is just one of endless ways it could have come out. It's easy to think that what one's native language puts words to, and how, reflects the fundamentals of reality.
But languages are strikingly different in the level of detail they require a speaker to provide in order to put a sentence together. In English, for example, here's a simple sentence that comes to my mind for rather specific reasons related to having small children: "The father said 'Come here!'" This statement specifies that there is a father, that he conducted the action of speaking in the past, and that he indicated the child should approach him at the location "here." What else would a language need to do?
It happened gradually—and until the U.S. figures out how to treat the problem, it will only get worse.
It's 2020, four years from now. The campaign is under way to succeed the president, who is retiring after a single wretched term. Voters are angrier than ever—at politicians, at compromisers, at the establishment. Congress and the White House seem incapable of working together on anything, even when their interests align. With lawmaking at a standstill, the president's use of executive orders and regulatory discretion has reached a level that Congress views as dictatorial—not that Congress can do anything about it, except file lawsuits that the divided Supreme Court, its three vacancies unfilled, has been unable to resolve.
On Capitol Hill, Speaker Paul Ryan resigned after proving unable to pass a budget, or much else. The House burned through two more speakers and one "acting" speaker, a job invented following four speakerless months. The Senate, meanwhile, is tied in knots by wannabe presidents and aspiring talk-show hosts, who use the chamber as a social-media platform to build their brands by obstructing—well, everything. The Defense Department is among hundreds of agencies that have not been reauthorized, the government has shut down three times, and, yes, it finally happened: The United States briefly defaulted on the national debt, precipitating a market collapse and an economic downturn. No one wanted that outcome, but no one was able to prevent it.
People in Great Britain felt their leaders weren't treating them fairly. Politicians in the U.S. should take note.
Britain's Brexit vote has shocked the political elites of both the U.S. and Europe. The vote wasn't just about the EU; in fact, polls before the referendum consistently showed that Europe wasn't top on voters' lists of concerns. But on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, large numbers of people feel that the fundamental contracts of capitalism and democracy have been broken. In a capitalist economy, citizens tolerate rich people if they share in the wealth, and in a democracy, they give their consent to be governed if those governing do so in their interest. The Brexit vote was an opportunity for people to tell elites that both promises have been broken. The most effective line of the Leave campaign was "take back control." It is also Donald Trump's line.

American society increasingly mistakes intelligence for human worth.
As recently as the 1950s, possessing only middling intelligence was not likely to severely limit your life's trajectory. IQ wasn't a big factor in whom you married, where you lived, or what others thought of you. The qualifications for a good job, whether on an assembly line or behind a desk, mostly revolved around integrity, work ethic, and a knack for getting along—bosses didn't routinely expect college degrees, much less ask to see SAT scores. As one account of the era put it, hiring decisions were "based on a candidate having a critical skill or two and on soft factors such as eagerness, appearance, family background, and physical characteristics."
The 2010s, in contrast, are a terrible time to not be brainy. Those who consider themselves bright openly mock others for being less so. Even in this age of rampant concern over microaggressions and victimization, we maintain open season on the nonsmart. People who'd swerve off a cliff rather than use a pejorative for race, religion, physical appearance, or disability are all too happy to drop the s‑bomb: Indeed, degrading others for being "stupid" has become nearly automatic in all forms of disagreement.
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
Their degrees may help them secure entry-level jobs, but to advance in their careers, they'll need much more than technical skills.
American undergraduates are flocking to business programs, and finding plenty of entry-level opportunities. But when businesses go hunting for CEOs or managers, "they will say, a couple of decades out, that I'm looking for a liberal arts grad," said Judy Samuelson, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Business and Society Program.
That presents a growing challenge to colleges and universities. Students are clamoring for degrees that will help them secure jobs in a shifting economy, but to succeed in the long term, they'll require an education that allows them to grow, adapt, and contribute as citizens—and to build successful careers. And it's why many schools are shaking up their curricula to ensure that undergraduate business majors receive something they may not even know they need—a rigorous liberal-arts education.
The star Daily Show correspondent is moving on to make her own scripted comedy, and her gain is the show's huge loss.
When Jon Stewart announced he was leaving The Daily Show last year, many fans lobbied for Jessica Williams to replace him, pushing one of the show's standout performers into a limelight she deemed herself not quite ready for. "Thank you, but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!" Williams tweeted. Comedy Central eventually picked Trevor Noah for the gig, and in the following months, Williams's star has only risen higher. It's no huge surprise, then, that on Wednesday she told Entertainment Weekly she was moving on from The Daily Show to develop her own scripted series for Comedy Central. It's great news for Williams, but a huge loss for the show she's leaving behind.
The discussion over Williams becoming The Daily Show host in 2015 turned into a minor political maelstrom. Williams publicly pushed back against the idea that she had "impostor syndrome," as suggested by one writer, for calling herself "under-qualified" and pointing to her young age (25 at the time) as a reason for her disinterest in the position. Indeed, there are a thousand reasons to not want the daily grind of a TV hosting gig, and the heightened scrutiny and criticism Noah has received in his year on the job is among them. But as Williams's popularity and talents have grown, and as The Daily Show has struggled to retain its critical cachet after Stewart's departure, it's been hard not to mourn a different outcome in which Williams took the host job and steered the series in a fresher, more relevant direction.
Jim Henson's 1986 film understands at its core that youth is full of mystery, tricks, and danger.
When Labyrinth was first released, critics were overwhelmingly negative, bordering on hostile. Variety called the 1986 film starring David Bowie "silly and flat," while Gene Siskel said it was "quite awful." Audiences at the time largely agreed: The movie grossed $12.7 million domestically—hardly half its budget—and Tri-Star Pictures pulled it from theaters after less than a month. Because Jim Henson was the director, many people, including reporters, had gone into the film expecting Muppets. Instead, they got something much darker.
The last feature film that Henson would direct, Labyrinth is about a teenage girl named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) whose baby brother is kidnapped by Bowie's Goblin King, Jareth. Sarah has to rescue her brother from the goblins' castle at the center of a curiously populated maze before midnight, or he'll be turned into a goblin. (Or something—the plot meanders and at times disappears entirely, but the whole quest may simply be a ploy for the Goblin King to win Sarah's love.) Why then has Labyrinth—101 minutes of Bowie rock opera and Hensonian spectacle—become so beloved that it's now a mainstream cult favorite, and what keeps people watching 30 years on?
The common definition of "clean" might be detrimental to our skin.

LG LS680 with Android apparently coming to Sprint
Sprint's third Android smartphone (after the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment) may come from LG – which currently sells four handsets via Sprint, but none of them are smartphones.
The Android smartphone we're talking about is LG LS680. Its name appears alongside the ones of other LG phones from Sprint, in a leaked image posted by Boy Genius Report.
Unfortunately, we don't know anything about the LG LS680, but it will most probably have a touchscreen and maybe a QWERTY keyboard, too.
The above image also shows the LG LX610 (aka LG Lotus 2), which reportedly costs $555 (without contract) and may be announced at CES 2010 – where Sprint and LG could also unveil more details about the Android-powered LS680.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- The No. 49 Arizona women's tennis team (5-5, 0-1) lost to No. 15 California (6-3) 4-2 Sunday at Robson Tennis Center. The match had begun Saturday, March 5, but rain and lightning in the Tucson area caused the match to be postponed.
Doubles play was completed yesterday, prior to the rain. Seniors Dianne Hollands and Maja Mlakar remained undefeated in dual match play this year with their 8-6 victory over Suzi Babos and Marion Ravelojaona. UA clinched the doubles point with senior Kelly Perry and sophomore Jessie Rochefort's 8-3 win against Cristina Visico and Tiffany Lee.
Court Two, pitting Stephanie Balzert and Kasia Jakowlew against Stephanie Kusano and Jessica Shu, did not complete its match. California led the match 8-7, but with Arizona having already won the doubles point, the match was suspended once the rains came down.
Sunday's singles play saw the Golden Bears take four of the five matches completed, with one suspended due to yet another rain shower. No. 33 Hollands defeated Wiesener, 6-0, 6-0, in the second position, but that would be UA's only singles win for the afternoon.
Arizona will take on Pac-10 rival Arizona State Wednesday, March 9 in Tucson, beginning at 1 p.m. On Sunday, March 10, UA will host Minnesota, with first serve scheduled for 11 a.m.
California 4, Arizona 2
1. Mlakar/Hollands (UA) def. Babos/Ravelojaona (CAL) 8-6
2. Balzert/Jakowlew (UA) ?- Kusano/Shu (CAL) Match Suspended (CAL led 8-7)
3. Perry/Rochefort (UA) def. Visico/Lee (CAL) 8-3

Welcome to the Land of
New World Spices!
From ancient palaces of India to modern kitchens, hand-blended masalas remain a treasured element of the finest cooking. The rich spices found in these blends are imported from their native countries and mixed with the utmost care by master Chef Ranjan Dey of the the popular New Delhi Restaurant in San Francisco. Ranjan's inspiration came from researching the favorite dishes of many royal families who ruled India centuries ago.
Our flavor bears no similarity to the "Curry Powders" found in mass markets. Like fine wine, our spices are rare and a product of unique blends unavailable anywhere else. You can sprinkle them on meats, poultry and seafood, add to salads, vegetables, dips, sauces or cook a traditional Indian meal. In the words of Chef Ranjan Dey, "I created these delicious spice blends for my restaurant with four things in mind -- tasty, healthy, quick. & easy." All you need is a pot, a little oil (optional), plain yogurt, your choice of vegetables or meats. Put them in a pot together with your selection of spice blend and cook until done. You will soon be serving meals fit for royalty.
"Share the spice of life!" - Chef Ranjan Dey

There's nothing we enjoy more than a visual snoop around someone's apartment, especially one as gorgeous and perfectly styled as this! So as an excuse to do this all the time, we're launching a new feature on the blog called "Let Me In", where we
force our way into peek inside the beautiful homes of our friends and customers. With their permission, of course.
First up is Toronto based makeup artist and image consultant Tara Leydon, who we first met back at our BYOB location when she'd drop by to scoop up her favourite Australian brands. Ever since then we've been drooling over her amazing apartment pics on Instagram and finally decided we needed to see more.
A girl after our own hearts, the decor in Tara's place is basically our dream aesthetic. Her influences fuse her love of fashion and makeup with the bits and pieces she's picked up at antique markets or brought back from her travels. From the gold skulls to the vintage Americana to the fashion-themed gallery wall and coffee-table books galore, Tara's passion for interior design and home styling really shines through in her boho-glam apartment. Girly but with a rock n' roll edge and unique vintage accents, one look at her pics left us wondering when we can start moving our stuff in.
I'll stop talking now and let you scroll. All pics and descriptions by Tara Leydon. And keep your eye out for some of her favourite Fitzroy pieces...
" I love coffee table books and books in general, I have been collecting them for some time now and have stacks all over my place. I have not read them all but one day I hope I have a home with a big library that has one of those sliding ladders to get around to all the book shelves."
"I have always loved the look of a gallery wall, my dad is a designer so I had seen them in different places over the years so when I moved into my place that happened to have a lot of wall space I knew that's what I was going to do."
"This long horned bull skull was a gift from a friend that found it when he was on a road trip back from Texas. I love it and love how it fits in my home, I named him Billy. I love mixing fashion/girly things with things not so girly like skulls! I never like things too pretty or perfect"
"I love antiquing and do a lot of it, this lamp I found years ago and besides loving the color I feel like it looks like it came from Palm Springs in the late 60's"
"I've got a lot of skulls, it may be creepy to some but I love them and think they're pretty. I also think there is something magical about skulls because that's what we all are underneath it all a bunch of skulls and bones. I like the way they look in my place and how they complement my other pieces. The first skull I got was the gold one, I found it in Australia last year. Then also in Australia I found a little silver one and the hot pink one by Baby Anything. My carry-on bag back from Australia got a lot of double looks while going through customs! I also get a lot of skulls as gifts now which is always nice"
"I love vintage Harley Davidson and Americana stuff whether it's tees or these signs. I still need to put these up somewhere."
"Again, I love mixing different prints and looks, the American Flag above my bed is from 1955 and I found it while antiquing. I love classic Americana pieces. Then I love my leopard print and Missioni pillows, I thought they all mixed well together."
"I have been collecting dream catchers since I was a kid, I love the meaning behind them and I have always been interested in Native culture and their beliefs."
"I picked these up while at an Antique & Vintage Car Show in Pennsylvania. Besides loving the look of them I love all these guys. I still need to frame them and added them to my gallery wall."
"Along with finding great antiques, I love finding vintage jewelry. I love mixing old and new and anything that has an animal on it I'm a sucker for! I'm also lucky my Nana had some great pieces that she gave me over the years."
"I love having fresh flowers in my home and I like making little arrangements and putting them in vases and mugs I like. This is a vintage mug from 1977 in Honor of the Queens Silver Jubilee. I just like the blue and gold and thought it looked almost Warhol-esque."
"I also collect matches and love finding fun vintage ones, I found these Camel ones while down in Pennsylvania. I also found this antique BB gun there it's called Little Bill or at least that's what it says on the side of it, it's from 1890, I would love to find more!"
"I know this looks like a mess but I know where everything is…it was the best way I could think of to organize my necklaces without them getting all tangled."
"I love vintage prints and magazines, I first picked up some vintage vogue prints when I was in Paris years ago and whenever I see them I pick them up. Luckily you can buy them on Etsy and other websites now."
Thanks again to Tara for letting us in, and don't forget to check out her website for all your makeup / image/ homestyling needs!

What used in past to create self watering pots: • Water proof the exterior finish and seal the inner side w/ roof coating asphaltum. • Pot inside of a larger pot and use interior basin saucer. • Plumbed to drip irrigation tubing or bubblers on a censored timer. • Used Styrofoam chips in the soil and inner pot lining, to hold water. • Placed oversize Tikki Torch cloth wicks down center to saucer. • Emerged plastic tubing in the vertical length of the pot, to act as water reservoir conduit. • Topdressed w/ other size bark chips or river rocks to prevent rate of soil evaporation.Flag this Comment

All of this is wonderful but you should try doing a landscape in rural areas that are filled with deer, rocks, cactus and the likes of the Hill Country in Texas! I would love to see something like that!Flag this Comment

Gov. Shumlin honors Presidential Scholars semi-finalists
April 25, 2013 - MONTPELIER - Gov. Peter Shumlin today congratulated the six Vermont semifinalists of the 2013 Presidential Scholars Program who were chosen for their academic and artistic success, leadership abilities, and community and school involvement.
"The Presidential Scholars program recognizes some of the nation's most distinguished graduating seniors," the Governor said. "These young Vermonters have worked hard to achieve this success and I am proud of their accomplishments. This is also a recognition of all of the other important players -- parents and family members, teachers, fellow students, friends and neighbors – who have supported the hard work and commitment of these remarkable achievers."
Started in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson, the program each year selects up to 141 students from across the nation. According to the federal Department of Education, these Presidential Scholars represent "excellence in education and the promise of greatness." Finalists will be selected shortly, and the scholars will be honored in a ceremony in Washington D.C. in June.
The six Vermont semifinalists are:
- Abigail J. Dutton, South Royalton, Sharon Academy
- David R. Fickes, Peacham, St. Johnsbury Academy
- Julia H. Gilbert, Montpelier High School
- Sossina R. Gutema, Essex, Essex High School
- Timothy F. Rizvanov, Essex Junction, Essex High School
- Lucy E. Rogers, Waterville, Lamoille Union High School
This year's semifinalists, winnowed from a list of 46 in Vermont and 3,900 nationally, include a talented violinist, a student who will study neuroscience at Yale next fall, and more bright accomplishments.
Gov. Shumlin, who devoted his second inaugural address to education issues, also highlighted the process regarding education initiatives moving through the Legislature or being implemented by the administration to strengthen public education and provide Vermonters the academic and job training programs they need to ensure lifelong success.
Those include:
- An Early Childhood Summit planned for this Fall to develop a statewide framework for ensuring children have a strong start in school. The Administration is coordinating planning.
- $400,000 to provide grants to help with start-up costs of first-year publicly financed preschool. The Agency of Education is funding and coordinating the program.
- $322,250 to ensure all low income students have access to school lunch; passed House and Senate, funding included in annual budget bill.
- The Secretaries of Education and Human Services are working together to promote full-service schools.
- Flexible Pathways, making its way through the Legislature – personalized learning plans for every student, increased internship opportunities, enhanced career and technical education, and access to college courses during high school years.
- Rigorous math requirements for all high school students, up for State Board approval in June.
- $2.5 million for the University of Vermont, Vermont State Colleges and VSAC earmarked solely for financial aid to Vermont students, proposed by the Governor's budget and approved by the House.
- A Vermont Strong Scholars Program, beginning in FY16, to help Vermonters to study science, technology, engineering and math in preparation for filling good-paying jobs, under consideration by the Legislature.
"These Presidential Scholar semifinalists excel in the arts and in academics. We need all of our students to excel in school, and so we need to provide rigorous training and support our children from pre-kindergarten through career to ensure that Vermont's public education system remains at the top of the class," the Governor said. "This will also help ensure our children have an opportunity when they are adults to pursue the best jobs possible, right here in Vermont."

UHC Hosting Blood Drives for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on October 10, 2012 @ 7:20PM
Created on October 10, 2012 @ 6:30PM
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, United Hospital Center is taking the time to collect blood considering the fact that it is often used by cancer patients.
Nearly 18% of all blood donated in the United States gets used by cancer patients. UHC alone uses more than 1,000 units of blood every year to support theirs. If there's a shortness of blood, some patients may have to delay treatments.
"The chemotherapy basically causes your counts to go low and once your counts go low, you help patients alleviate some of their symptoms such as fatigue, generalized tiredness, shortness of breath, pending on their blood counts, and so therefore, a lot of these patients consume blood," said Dr. Salman Osman, Oncologist.
The drives will be from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the hospital on Thursday and Friday.

How can I test several anti-virus programs to determine which performs the best, so that I can writing reviews?
Where can I find viruses for tests?
How can I test several anti-virus programs to determine which performs the best, so that I can writing reviews?
Where can I find viruses for tests?
If you just want to see if it's working; you can use the EICAR test file, download it here. Or, save the string
to a file which should trigger the virus scanner. You might also want to compress/archive the file to test the compressed/archived file scanning capabilities of your scanner...
More details can be find on their site or Wikipedia:
There are a few virus depositories one can find, but they are not too helpful.
For example, the article Test Your Antivirus – 6000 virus download contains a link to file containing 6000 files, supposedly all viruses, but unfortunately dating from 2009. Given that a good antivirus product may add to its protection database several thousand new virus variants per day (not necessarily the same as several thousand virus signatures), these are hopelessly outdated.
I would also remark that a good antivirus should be good in prevention, detection and eradication. The detection is unreliable, because antivirus products are always running behind the virus writers. The eradication part is always the weakest, and cleaning up after a virus may be incomplete or cause malfunctions, which is why reformatting and re-installation is often counseled after an infection. Even the US army is vulnerable and helpless against an infection.
I don't know of any good prevention tests, which in my opinion are after all the most important function. For detection you could consult sites which specialize in running antivirus products against virus samples (none of them publishes its test suite). Some such sites are :
To really test various antivirus solutions you need a PC you can infect, test software A on, wipe clean, reinfect, test software B on, etc.
There are two ways to make this easy -- one cheap, one... not-so-cheap.
Try limewire. Search for something unmentionable and download the executable ones.
OR, install web of trust and go to the sites with red ratings.
OR, sign up for shady mailing lists and open the attachements.
OR, post your email somewhere public with a request for virii.
Yes, virii is the plural of virus.
I would tend to answer that you can't really do this. The reasoning is that all professional virus manufacturers and those who rate them maintain honeypot nets - a series of (usually) virtualized computers which either passively sit and/or go to known dangerous sites hoping to get infected so the malware infection attempts can be examined and analyzed and the performance of various programs rated. You (probably) don't have the resources to do this with sufficient size to have a statistically reliable sample.
The other thing they do is to employ researchers and companies to actively create variant and sometimes novel malware and then send those against the programs to see how the heuristic defenses fare versus the old style signature files. New and never before seen variants cannot be picked up the signatures so the heuristics are tested this way. Again - you probably won't have the resources to do this.
Old style signature files would be tested against known virus samples to see how the scanning works for speed, but testing against single samples and testing against multiple infections may result in widely different results.

Quarterbacks!?! Quarterbacks?!? Yes quarterbacks. People love them the most, but they also love to hate them. So which ones should you draft? I don't know, but I do have some sage advice for you.
Last year Peyton Manning was the #1 ranked QB in most pre-draft rankings, but then Tom Brady decided to date Gisele. That alone should've been enough for Brady, but he decided to break several single season passing records. Now it's obvious that Brady is #1, but who's #2 or for that matter #22?
Well it all starts with what your league scoring is. Do interceptions count against you? Do rushing carries count? Do you get extra points for having the last name of Manning? Knowing what your league scoring will help you figure out what players should be valued and who should be left for dead. Take for instance Jon Kitna, he threw for 4,068 yards and 18 TDs last year. Not bad right? Only if your league doesn't count his 20 INTs last year.
So without further ado here's my top 25 QBs as of July 30:
- Tom Brady – What can be said except that he's dating Gisele.
- Peyton Manning – He's a little banged up, but he's always consistent.
- Tony Romo – When you have T.O. and Witten everything is easier.
- Drew Brees – Jeremy Shockey actually has a good QB to throw him the ball.
- Carson Palmer – He still has Chad Johnson and TJ Housmanzadeh to throw to.
- Matt Hasselbeck – Mike Holmgren is still the coach right?
- Derek Anderson – He has way too much talent to be bad, … right?
- Ben Roethlisberger – I don't expect him to throw for more than 3500 yards, but he should still put up some good numbers.
- Donovan McNabb – He would be so much higher if he wouldn't get hurt so much.
- David Garrard – He doesn't have a lot of good receivers, but then again he didn't last year when he threw for 2,509 yards and 18 TDs.
- Jay Cutler – He had a solid year last year despite the whole diabetes thing.
- Philip Rivers – If he plays like he did in the playoffs he should finish higher than this, but I won't put a whole lot of money on that.
- Eli Manning – He's a least consistent, plus his last name is Manning.
- Aaron Rodgers – All he has to do is get the ball to the receivers and they'll do the rest.
- Marc Bulger – Take a look at McNabb's comment.
- Jake Delhomme – Steve Smith's favorite QB is back, but maybe not fully healthy.
- Jason Campbell – He should have a solid year with a new offense.
- Matt Shaub – Health is an issue, and so is inexperience.
- Alex Smith – He's bound to be better. Maybe? Hopefully!
- Vince Young – His rushing numbers should always help him out.
- Trent Edwards – I feel like he'll do better in his second year on the job.
- Jeff Garcia – He doesn't throw many TDs, but he doesn't throw INTs either.
- Jon Kitna – He throws a fair amount of TDs, but he also throws a lot of INTs.
- JaMarcus Russell – Hey he's got some decent weapons.
- Brett Favre – Why not take a flyer on him just in case he does play this year. He's better than the rest even if he doesn't play.

Jessica Dutro's son Zachary died in 2012 after collapsing at a homeless shelter in Portland where the family was living. Dutro, 25, who is now on trial for murdering her 4-year-old boy, severely thrashed and beat her son to death because she perceived he was gay, prosecutors said.
According to a report from The Associated Press on Friday, as carried on MSN News, Zachary died of blunt force trauma which caused tears in his abdomen, brought about by repeated punches, in conjunction with a "delay in medical treatment."
Washington County Judge Don Letourneau, who is overseeing the murder trial, has allowed multiple Facebook messages of Dutro's to be admitted last week to the trial and viewed by jury members. The Washington County jurors read the messages before they were released to the media.
OregonLive.com carried a number of the messages – shocking in their reveal of complete inhumane treatment of not only Zachary but Dutro's other children.
Reports the Oregon Live:
In messages to her boyfriend, Jessica Dutro expressed frustration with her young children – a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son – using a number of profanities and calling one "stupid."
Her 7-year-old daughter upset her by falling asleep on top of the laundry the child was supposed to fold, one message said.
"After an hour I go in there and her sweaty (expletive) is sleeping on top of the clothes," Dutro wrote. "Sleeping is one thing but to plop her dirty (expletive) on the clean clothes and sleep…"
Later, she wrote to Canady that she "gave her lickins," and all the laundry was done. "Amazing right?" she wrote.
She also wrote of Zachary, telling boyfriend Brian Canady in messages that Zachary was made to "face the wall," because "He's going to be gay," she wrote. "He walks like it and talks like it, ugh." She was upset at what she perceived to be a homosexual disposition, and told Canady that he needed to "work on" the boy "big time."
Says the AP report:
The judge ruled additional web searches done by Dutro were also admissible. On Aug. 16, 2012, the day her son's life support was terminated, Dutro searched terms such as anger management and parenting classes, prosecutors said. She also searched listings for free stuff and sex with strangers.
Dutro has been charged with murder, murder by abuse and second-degree assault.
Earlier this month, Canady pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, and second-degree assault, for his role in Zachary's death. Canady admitted to kicking Zachary in the gut while wearing shoes.

Bindi Irwin looked cool, calm, collected and glam as she rocked the red carpet at the Australian Academy Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards in Sydney. Also walking the same sartorial runway in Oz were Cate Blanchett and Sam Worthington.
According to Us magazine on Jan. 30, the late Steven Irwin's daughter put on a black-and-white frock sporting florals for the third annual event that has been likened to the Oscars. Then the teen countered her youthful look with a rugged pair of black, flat boots.
By way of background, the 15-year-old went on with her dad's work as a conservationist after he died in Sept. 2006 at the young age of 44. Bindi and her brother, 10-year-old Robert, were shocked along with the rest of the world when their parent passed away after a stingray barb pierced him in the chest while he was getting ready for a film shoot on the Great Barrier Reef.
However, his little girl, who was a regular on her father's television program called "The Crocodile Hunter," has continued to be involved in both small and big screen ventures ever since. This precocious Australian personality starred in the self-titled TV show, "Bindi: The Jungle Girl." She is also one of the names behind a wildlife adventures book series bearing her first name.
In addition, among Bindi Irwin's credits were her appearances in both "Free Willy: Escape From Pirate's Cove" and "Return to Nim's Island," among other ventures.
And so, as if to use this opportunity as a sort of formal debut as a top-rate thespian in her own right, Bindi Irwin was on the red carpet in a cocktail dress and motorcycle boots for the AACTA in Sydney on Thursday.

Well, yesterday was the baseball game that never ended. I know the players probably hated it, but what a way to start the season. 13 innings and 4 hours and 45 minutes later it ended with the Red�s losing 3-1. Sigh, ah well there are 161 more chances to win this season. And to think it was a 4:00 start and I figured between work, dinner and the gym I would still miss the game. Nope, had time to catch the last few innings on TV when I got done with the gym. All in all it was a good day. Now just disappointed I have to miss my son�s tennis match today.
Well, I did it! I finally dropped a pants size. Although I think these smaller pants have a different fit if that makes sense. But, today they buttoned easily when I was done with the morning workout.
I have noticeable improved on this particular workout. I do a 3 day cycle. I ride hard on day one. Day 2 is the cardio workout where it adjusts the tension to keep a target heart rate. 2 months ago when I really started dedicating myself to working out again, the machine would level off about setting 5. Now it levels off around level 13. So, I can tell my cardio work is paying off. Then on day 3 I have another hard workout. My only real issue with the getting better is that day 2 isn�t so much an active recovery day anymore. But it�s all good. I am glad it is improving.
I was thinking something the other day. It is sort of amazing. I have finally started getting comments from people about losing all this weight so far. It is sort of surprising it took about 50 pounds for people to start commenting. And I was wondering if I had just been at that point where it just took losing a lot of weight to change the appearance significantly. Oddly too, I am starting to finally admit to people how heavy I really was. And by extension, how heavy I still am. That was sort of a new one for me. I mean, here I have been honest. But with friends it was a little harder to admit how bad it got. But at the same time i can understand why people don't comment since I am horrible about commenting to others myself.
Ah well, it is interesting that I noticed this. And honesty is never a bad thing.

Apparently we won our season opener, but I was at a welcome party for the German students so I didn't get to see it. I know what you mean about how long it takes for people to notice. And I think your right about that this time around we got to a point that it would take a lot for people to notice, but I also think some people are oblivious. And when people see you often enough they don't connect the dots. You are doing awesome, and the compliments will soon be flowing in. Robin

Sorry about the game. But like you said there are another 161 chances for them to win.
on dropping another pant size!!
Glad to hear that your workouts are improving. Being able to up the level is great!!
It wasnt until I had lost about 60lbs that my co-workers started commenting on my weight loss. But even now people will ask me "Have you lost more weight? Looks like you have. You look great" and I would have only lost maybe 5 lbs. Still makes me feel good that people notice though.
Have a great week!!

The top scoring coffee from El Injerto l received $80.20, well above the previous record of $49.75 for a Brazilian coffee. The coffee, of the Pacamara variety, was purchased by Stumptown Coffee Roasters of Portland and Maruyama Coffee for Mikatajuku Group of Japan, and received an international jury score of 93.68. It was described as very complex with huge body that is well balanced and features clean sweet layers of fruit with a harmonious acidity. Sweet Maria's Coffee Co. of California will also be enjoying owning part of this record-breaking coffee.
The second and third place coffees were purchased by Coffee Bean International to be roasted for Target Inc. The second place coffee, La Benedicion, was purchased for $17.05 and the third place coffee, San Guayaba, for $21.05. The latter boasts a sweet fruit aroma with complex acidity, fine creamy body and floral aroma with a long-lasting tart and sweet aftertaste.
"We are excited about the records broken from our previous years in Cup of Excellence," explained William Hempstead, marketing director for ANACAFE, "because it represents that all participants in the auction acquired premium prices for their quality coffees. In fact, San Guayaba farm is the highest second price received in an auction." Hempstead also noted the diversity of buyers in the auction, "with very aggressive bids for the 25 winning lots from U.S., Japan, the UK, Norway, Germany and Holland."

The main reason for the present imbalance is the shortage of raw abaca fiber. The factors contributing to this issue are an increasing world demand for beverage filtration papers and the reduced harvests from major climatic issues. In addition, the rise in new applications has drained the market of raw abaca fiber. The combination of these reasons has created a situation where supply is not meeting demand, and it is anticipated that this situation will continue for 12-18 months.
By leveraging their technical knowledge and understanding of beverage filtration, Glatfelter is able to use alternative sources of suitable fibers to mitigate the shortage of abaca fiber in order to meet the current market challenges and customer requirements. While creating additional supply, these proactive actions have resulted in reduced machine efficiencies and higher production costs. The changes to the costs for their products will at some stage need to be addressed in our pricing; however, the immediate concern of Glatfelter is to assist customers through the initial period of reduced Abaca availability and focus on long-term solutions.
Glatfelter continues to invest the expansion of production capacity in order to service the increased market demand. Through a series of ongoing projects over the past two years, Glatfelter has increased its available supply capacity by more than 10% and has invested more than $20 million. Further capacity is expected in the third quarter of 2008.

Retiring Founder Bill Fishbein was honored by representatives from CECOCAFEN, a Coffee Kids partner in Nicaragua working in education and microfinance. The dinner also featured the screening of a new film on the impact of Coffee Kids.
Money raised at the celebration will be used to help Coffee Kids' partners continue their efforts in coffee-farming communities in Latin America. Coffee Kids' 12 partners work in economic diversification, health care, education and other community-based programs that help improve quality of life for coffee-farming families and reduce their reliance on the coffee crop.

Randy Layton, Boyd Coffee Co., commented, "We are committed to continually increasing our purchases of Rainforest Alliance coffees and their relationship with CQI will allow us to more readily identify the qualities and cup profiles we need." Further addressing the value to the marketplace, Ted Lingle, executive director of CQI, remarked, "Ultimately, quality drives consumption and the path to increasing consumer interest in certified coffees is quality. The combination of Rainforest Alliance Certified with Q Certified Quality is a very powerful story to tell consumers."
One of the first activities of the partnership is to integrate CQI's quality standards program into the Rainforest Alliance's tracking and traceability software. In addition, the Rainforest Alliance will promote the quality standards of CQI and its coffee quality improvement concepts within the Rainforest Alliance and its sustainable agriculture program. As the partnership develops, both expect to further engage in activities that jointly promote the two programs including training workshops and cupping events.
