Dumbass Reactionary Americans, Stop Giving Away Your Gun Rights Over Sandy Hook Tragedy
Today's political posturing by the dumbass, reactionary left-wing media and politicians was inevitable. Somewhere in the course of America's history, there are some slope-browed, Cro-magnon, knuckle-dragging dolts who think that our Constitutional Rights are something to be trampled upon. These are the people who cried foul and swore America was a fascist state at the mere mention of the Patriot Act, but today will march and join Mayor Bloomberg in saying that guns should be outlawed in the nation where everyone has a standard 'right to bear arms' if competent.
All of our hearts are broken over the Sandy Hook massacre. May the families of all affected find some sort of comfort in all the love, empathy and compassion we have for them. This is the absolute worst nightmare for any and every parent in this nation. There is no way to absorb the magnitude of this tragedy, the hurt over the loss of life and innocence. The feeling of pain and anguish I have for the students of Sandy Hook I can only compare to the loss I felt during 9/11, weeping for the loss and wondering if my family were among those who died. And they were.
During the course of all this though, we must remember one thing. In the face of adversity, in the face of evil monsters who seek to rule our way of life with terror, we must not relent on our rights. I am a Republican and fought against every abridgement of our rights to 'protect against terror'. And right now, I am not going to join rank and file with the people who cannot see or understand that giving away our guns, our one protection not only against a tyrannical, fascist state of police, but also, foreign invasion (review history, every nation 'understands' the fact that every US home could be armed during a land invasion), because the sheer evil of people like the Sandy Hook shooter or the shooter in the Oregon mall the day before.
America, look around the globe. Guns exist and unarmed populations will always be terrorized. In Israel and Palestine, not everyone has guns, yet massive explosions in markets, physican assault with stones and knives are the norm. In many African nations, the populace is not arm and local militias who do get arms (most usually from governments) commit genocide, rape, intimidation and murder at a whilm, just because their AK-47s have no real match.
In the face of adversity, you would be surprised how far the power of a gun can go. It is easy to not appreciate our right to bear arms, when the nation seems so relatively stable. Ask any person from the Greatest Generation, however, what it means for a nation's stability to easily fall apart and for a fascist regime to take power. The resistance of various European countries, who fell to Hitler, were more than desperate for guns. In Amercia, during our fight for initial freedom, guns were paramount to victory. Let us not forget that the Civil Wars success teetered on availability of arms.
There is a reason that the Constitution has our right to always and ultimately defend our homes. We must respect that right and treat it as sacred. When there are those who spoil that right with their evil acts, we must find a way to protect society from them, not punish and jeopardize the lives of Americans who follow the law.
It is my firm belief that people should not enter elementary schools until securely passing a metal detector. If we are going to keep our children secure, we cannot assume guns are the only means of them being attacked. People could plant explosive devices in our schools. Someone wielding a knife could commit unknown amounts of terror. What of some 'parent' poisoning our children's lunches. Evil knows no end: if someone wants to commit violence, they can easily do it without guns. Look at the history of the world, outside of America, and you will quickly realize that one point.
Liberal media, especially HuffPost and Mayor Bloomberg, if you cannot realize the need for guns, take your short-sighted, naive politicking nonsense to a third-world African dictatorship with a peace sign on your shirt and flowers of brotherhood in your hand, and see how long it takes you before you have a room full of terrorists holding a knife to you, making a terror video about how you will be tortured unless the US complies with some random demands.
Then realize, that brand of 'horror' is always just a few clicks from happening in any nation. America's best security is the possibility that our population can defend itself. And like hell we should ever give that freedom away. Some facts:
To the people posting the "Last Year 10,728 people died due to guns" graphic.
Last year over 33,000 people died due to cars. Where is that graphic and outrage?
Gun violence doesn't even make the top 10 causes of death in this country. Yes, the shooting today is a tragedy, but guess what…
1. Murder is already illegal
2. An estimated 2.5 million people use guns in self defense every year
3. Guns can't kill anyone on their own, but gun control has been responsible for approximately 170 million deaths.
Just a little perspective for the knee jerk emotional reactionaries.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Six UW Football Players Earn Academic Honors
Key Stadium Construction Dates Announced
Unleashed: It's Time for Polk
Gut Check? Dennison's Used to Those
Husky Football Banquet, Dec. 4
Sprained Knee May Keep Price Out
UW Weekly Press Notes
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Coach Steve Sarkisian let out a big laugh when asked if he thought Joe Montana had "an extra bounce in his step" while watching the Huskies' latest practice.
"I think he's just a proud dad," Sarkisian said Thursday.
The Hall of Fame quarterback and his wife Jennifer are going to be even more proud of their son Nick on Saturday. That's when the redshirt freshman quarterback will make his first college start.
One month past 34 years after Joe Montana made his first career start at Notre Dame, Nick Montana will lead the Huskies (6-4, 4-3 Pac-12) at Oregon State (2-8, 2-5) in Corvallis beginning at 12:30 p.m. on ROOT Sports television regionally, the Washington IMG College radio network and here again on GoHuskies.com with a live play by play and analysis on our live game chat.
Sarkisian announced his decision Thursday, confirming what had become apparent this week: That Keith Price's sprained left knee needs more time to heal. The coach believes the rest will allow Price to start the Apple Cup on Nov. 26 and Washington's bowl game next month.
"It just felt right," Sarkisian said after practice of a decision about which he first informed Montana Wednesday night. He told the team Thursday and then the public via Twitter. "I loved how Nick had looked the last couple of days. Keith's not 100 percent -- obviously you can tell.
"I thought Keith looked much better (Thursday). He's moving better. I think he'll be available in emergency status on Saturday. For our team it's the right thing to do. For Keith it was the right thing to do.
"Nicky's earned it. He's done a nice job."
Price's 25 touchdown passes this season are tied for the second most in any of UW's 120 seasons of football. He is three behind Cody Pickett's school record from 2001. He sprained the knee in the third quarter of last weekend's loss at USC. Price, who had sprained the knee earlier this season, had it twisted on the Trojans' fourth and final sack of him during the Huskies' 40-17 loss last Saturday in Los Angeles.
Price has been in full uniform and pads but has worn a bulky knee brace as he's watched Montana lead the offense in practices this week.
"We're not going to change offensively. We run what we run. It's a little too late in the season to right now to change who we are and what we do," Sarkisian said Wednesday when asked if he would change the game plan for Montana starting.
That game plan will likely include many handoffs from Montana to Chris Polk. Sarkisian knows the Huskies' 1,000-yard rusher needs more than the nine carries Polk got last week at USC. And Oregon State is 11th in the Pac-12 in rushing defense.
Joe and Jennifer Montana were at practice again Thursday watching their son on the eve of his first college start.
Joe's came on Oct. 1, 1977, for Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., against Michigan State. That was when he was a junior, after he had led the Fighting Irish to multiple comeback wins as a late-game replacement dating to his freshman season.
Wearing jersey No. 3, he went on to start the final nine games of Notre Dame's 1977 season and led the Irish to the national championship. After Montana led Notre Dame to another top-10 finish as a senior, Bill Walsh and the San Francisco 49ers drafted him. Then he became one of the greatest, clutch pro quarterbacks ever.
His son Nick wears No. 5 for the Huskies and is 6 feet 3 and 203 pounds. That's an inch shorter than his dad's listed height in the NFL.
"I think they are both about 6-2, blonde hair, pretty lean guys. I don't know," Sarkisian said, when asked to compare the two. "(We're) talking about the greatest of all time. Jeez, the poor guy is just trying to play."
Nick Montana played at Oaks Christian High School in Southern California and traveled on all UW road trips last season while he was redshirting. He has appeared in four of the Huskies' last five games in relief of Price and completed 13 of 20 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
"I really believe that he's improved, but the last month, specifically, have been his best practices," Sarkisian said. "He's playing faster. And part of that is when you get game experience and you realize how fast the game is, you get back out on the practice field and you say, 'OK, I've really got to turn it up, I've really got to speed up.'"
Montana noticed that most on his first college play, Oct. 15 against Colorado. Late in the Huskies' runaway win, Montana held onto the ball too long trying to pass, was sacked from behind and lost a fumble.
A little more than a month later, he is Washington's starter. And mom and dad are indeed proud - like any parents are of their Huskies, that is.
"Again, to get back to Joe and Jennifer, throughout this entire process they've been parents," Sarkisian said of Nick Montana's folks. "We treat them just like every other parent. There is nothing special about it. And that's how they are.
"You know, (senior defensive end) Everrette Thompson's parents were here today, too, watching practice."
QUICK HITS: Senior DT and run-stopper Alameda Ta'amu watched the 90-minute indoor practice while in a walking boot. "It was actually from the game. We just wanted to rest it, quite honestly," Sarkisian said. "He has rolled ankle and we just wanted to get the swelling out of it. He'll play." ... Sarkisian thinks WR James Johnson will be available at Oregon State in a limited role. He has missed the last two games with a sprained ankle. ... OLB Garrett Gilliland is unlikely to play because of a stinger in his neck and shoulder. ... The forecast in Corvallis for Saturday afternoon calls for a 50-percent chance of rain and temperatures in the low 40s. Reser Stadium has FieldTurf synthetic grass.

For one thing, Goblins aren't something Tolkien created. Myths about goblins go back hundreds of years.
For a second, there is a useful thing called publication dates, which can tell you a lot about when things were produced in relation to each other.
For a third, the only thing you offered in evidence of a fairly absurd claim (and it is absurd, since after the Malal issues, not using entirely GW-made gods would be a silly thing to do) was a website, which was filled with very modern concepts, many of which only entered public consciouness with the internet and well after the publication of the Realm of Chaos stuff in the late 80s.
And I have no idea where google enters this picture at all.

40k players: Age of Sigmar is your official warning. You're likely next.
The Imperium of Man has had its warning, and the First Sign has come to pass: They are coming for you. You will be reassessed from top to bottom. Resistance is futile. All your joy and imagination will be deleted. They are incompatible with the upgrade.
This is how I've always pronouced them:
Khorne - k'orn emphasis on the k at the start
Nurgle - ner-gul
Slaanesh - slan-esh
Tzeentch - t'zinch emphasis on the t at the start
...that means they are all 2 syllable names
My Fantasy Plogs:
* Rats Vs Elves
* Tomb Kings (from eBay)
* Chaos Rising (Beastmen and Daemons)
My 40k Plog:
* Ultramarines Slowly Mobilize
I have always pronounced T in Tzeentch - as in Tzar or t'internet...
I don't think there is a disagreement over Khorne .
Slaanesh - slan-eshshsh (''heavy'' s :P)
Nurgle-it should sound like a pod full with errupting bubbles, or a maggot slipping in rotten flesh....he is the god of decay after all. Try to imagine it. N-R-G-L is what it sounds like. Pronounce u and e however you like, it is a fantasy game!
Tzeentch - To me, it is like a snake trying to say ''change''. I usually pronounce it cheng, zentz, ginj which isn't right...
Generally the way I see it , the names of the Chaos Gods shouldn't have a deterministic pronounciation because they are Chaos!
Khorne - Quorn
Tzeentch - Change
Nurgle - gurblurghblgh!
Slaanesh - *******
On a more serious note (yeah the above was not serious, except maybe the Tzeentch one ) I pronounce them as follows:
kaw-nn (all one syllable)
tuh-zinch (wrong and should be Zinch like Tzar but it's force of habit from years ago)
nerr-ghul (similar to Nazgul only without the daft inflection or whatever it is arragorn from lord of the rings does to make nazgul sound quite strange)
It is the stuff of Chaos! So couldn't ALL pronunciations be correct? It even says in the fluff that they are all known by many names, some names that are not even comprehensible to the limited minds of mortals?

Khorne - Ch-orn-ee - Like a combination of 'Choose' and 'Journey' - was explained to be the God one worships when they choose the journey of the warrior.
Nurgle - Gurgle
Tzeentch - "Zee" - all the other letters are silent as befitting the god of scheming tricks
Slaanesh - ES-el-lay-annie-eesh - Every letter has to be stretched out excessively.
This is the only correct way to pronounce them.
corn= khorne
Nurr gul= nurgle
zeen ch- tzeentch

So in a bar, you can have someone pour multiple liquids at once or do one liquid after another. Most can be poured all at once however. So they can be poured asynchronously. Designing the system to do one or the other style pour is rather easy. Mixing the two caused a bit of a headache much like drinking too much. A drink example that uses this case is a long island ice tea. You need a few types that can be poured at once then you end it with a splash of coke.
So how to solve this?
Since we'll need thread to open multiple relays at the same time and creating threads is expensive, we'll use a ThreadPool object to help manage and keep old threads alive. Reusing threads is not just nice, it is the American way of life. Just remember that.
Another massive thing to remember is finding out what resources are thread safe. MSDN will tell you at the bottom what is thread safe.
First we'll set up all the toys we'll need to set this up, some AutoResetEvents, an int, bools, some Mutex, and a Semaphore. Yes this is a lot of stuff.
A mutex? semaphore? AutoResetEvent? muh? If you can't remember what these toys are, I'll explain using a line to get into a bar analogy.
If you need extra help, I suggest checking out Wikipedia, they'll have some helpful demos, so will MSDN.
public delegate void RelayEventHandler(object sender, RelayCommand e);
public event RelayEventHandler RelayStartedEvent;
public event RelayEventHandler RelayExecutedEvent;
readonly Semaphore _pool = new Semaphore(1, 1);
readonly AutoResetEvent sequentialWorkWait = new AutoResetEvent(true);
readonly AutoResetEvent asyncToSequentialWorkWait = new AutoResetEvent(false);
readonly Queue<RelayCommand> commands = new Queue<RelayCommand>();
readonly Mutex writingToComport = new Mutex();
readonly Mutex addingItemsToQueue = new Mutex();
bool doingWork;
bool asyncWorkMode;
int concurrentWorkers;
This entire code is broken up in three methods:
Now lets add stuff. We need to use a mutex to be sure commands are added in the proper order. This may be overkill but better safer than sorry. With a Mutex, you call WaitOne() to signal you're in a critical area of shared code and only you can have access to it. All other threads must wait until ReleaseMutex() is called. With WaitOne, you can set a timeout, in my instance, I'm not because I trust I coded this properly.
public void AddCommand(params RelayCommand[] Commands)
foreach (RelayCommand command in Commands)
if (!doingWork && commands.Count > 0)
Now instead of showing the queue processing function, we'll switch to the worker function. This can actually be altered to whatever you need by swapping line 7 to 9 and changing what state object you pass in.
private void doWork(object state)
if (state == null) return;
var command = (RelayCommand)state;
if (RelayStartedEvent != null)
RelayStartedEvent.Invoke(this, command);
On(command.Bank, command.Relay);
Off(command.Bank, command.Relay);
if (!command.Asynchronous)
// now signaled to be in async mode
// and all async'ed work is done
if (!asyncWorkMode && concurrentWorkers == 0)
if (RelayExecutedEvent != null)
RelayExecutedEvent.Invoke(this, command);
Now the heavy lifter, the queue processor. Since we are using a ThreadPool, we want to be utterly sure only one processor is happening else stuff may get weird, so for this we use a Semaphore. I actually think the code comments do a good job of explaining what is going on and why. If not I'll go in and explain further. I have the doingWork Boolean just to prevent extra threads from being created for no reason if more commands are being added while work is being done.
private void processQueue(object state)
// force only one of these types of thread procs
// to execute at any time
doingWork = true;
var firstWorkerLoop = true;
while (commands.Count > 0)
var command = commands.Dequeue();
// can't pop until inside loop
if (firstWorkerLoop)
asyncWorkMode = command.Asynchronous;
firstWorkerLoop = false;
if (!command.Asynchronous)
if (asyncWorkMode)
asyncWorkMode = false;
// after every sequential call, we reset to blocking
// need to allow this to continue
// on next loop, thread will wait now
else // asynced
if (!asyncWorkMode)
// have to wait for current pour to finish.
// have to reset so sync will wait for
// all async to finish
asyncWorkMode = true;
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(doWork, command);
doingWork = false;
Who knew making mixed drinks could involve mutually exclusive resources?

The Washington Wizards were featured for the whole stretch this past 2014 All-Star Weekend, from local rapper Wale in the Friday night Celebrity Game to point guard John Wall in the Sunday night All-Star Game. Here's a wrap up of how the representatives of Washington did over the break, and a look forward.
Celebrity Game
Washington, D.C. rapper Wale (Waw-lay), who can often be seen at a Wizards game, suited up for the Friday night Celebrity Game alongside eventual game MVP Arne Duncan, who finished with an amazing 20 points (a new celebrity game record), 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Former Centreville High School graduate (Fairfax, Virginia) turned national ESPN anchor Lindsay Czarniak assisted the Wale highlight reel postgame, although Lindsay--much like Twitter during the actual event--did not seem too into Wale's play.
Rising Stars Challenge
Luckily for local basketball fans, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal and "Team Hill" had something to play for later that night, as they took on "Team Webber," headlined by New Orleans local Anthony Davis. Beal chipped in 21 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds despite a shaky start from behind the perimeter, as Team Hill beat Team Webber 142-136. The highlight of the night, however, had to be about a six-minute second half (the game played as two, 20-minute halves) bout between Dion Waiters of Team Hill against Tim Hardaway, Jr., of Team Webber, as the two shot mostly three-pointers against one another.
Beal fought Marco Belinelli and forced a tie-breaker round in the Saturday night Three-Point contest but ultimately ended up in second place as he failed to make the most out of an all "Money Ball" rack (a new twist this year). Even so, it was a nice showing after going 4-for-8 in the "Rising Stars Challenge."
Slam Dunk
Wall won a kind of shortened "Slam Dunk" Saturday to give the Wizards another "W" for the weekend as he jumped over team mascot G-Man for a reverse slam. Local fans were not too upset, but most of everyone watching wanted at least one more round to the whole, East versus West setup (just not another dunks to be seen).
All-Star Game
Wall, and Eastern Conference teammate (and non-Dunk contest enthusiast) LeBron James, added plenty more dunks during the Sunday night All-Star Game, in which the East beat the West 163-155, but it was Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving who received the MVP nod with 31 points, 14 assists, and 5 rebounds. Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks knocked down 8 three-pointers and finished with 30 points while Wall finished with 12 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds off the bench.
At the very end of the Friday night "Rising Stars Challenge," Andre Drummond was about get the MVP nod when the award dropped to the ground and broke. Without skipping a beat, Tim Hardaway, Jr. walked into the shot and said, "ESPN not Top Ten."

On April 9, UCLA Health System announced that community leaders and a UCLA/Rand research team received an esteemed award for translational science efforts to improve depression care in low income communities. Translational science entails converting research discoveries into clinical applications. In this case, a public health program to reduce depression. The researchers received the Joint Team Science Award, given by the Association for Clinical and Translational Science and the American Federation for recognition of a 10-year effort to conduct community engaged, population-based translational science to improve care for depression in low-income areas. The award will be presented on April 10 at the association's annual meeting in Washington, DC.
The research team included interdisciplinary researchers and area investors from South Los Angeles, downtown L.A. and Hollywood; these organizations worked in partnership with the research team by contributing their knowledge to develop a collaborative approach to science development and implementation, as well as an evidence basis for the added importance of community engagement and partnership. They included the National Institute for Mental Health (NIHM), the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and 40 other health and advocacy agencies, including Healthy African American Families II, QueenCare Health and Faith Partnership and Behavioral Health Services.
More than 100 academic and community leaders participated in the project. They included representatives from child welfare agencies, ministers, barbershops and beauty salons, food banks, and homeless shelters.
"It's absolutely wonderful to get an award that recognizes the efforts of so many people. It really does take a village to affect change," noted principal investigator Dr. Kenneth Wells, a senior scientist at RAND and a professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. He added, "We showed that with community leaders and scientists working together we can improve mental and physical health and reduce homelessness, as well as provide relief for those suffering from depression."
Dr. Bowen Chung, an assistant professor-in-residence of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the Semel Institute and an adjunct scientist at RAND, added that the study on depression may be the first one to show that community engagement can provide "measurable added value…" He added, "We were able to show that high quality science and high quality community engagement are not mutually exclusive endeavors. We were also able to show that, when everyone in a community works together to address a health issue like depression, we can learn how to develop new effective and innovative approaches to provide support for people with depression that healthcare systems and doctors could never develop by themselves."
The UCLA/RAND project involves three different projects over the 10-year period, including Witness for Wellness, the NIMH-funded Partnered Research Center for Quality Care, and Community Partners in Care. "This project made it safe to talk about depression in my community," noted study co-principal investigator Loretta Jones, chief executive officer of Healthy African American Families II. She added, "It was successful because it was not done 'on,' 'to,' or 'for,' but 'with' the community." Her organization is a non-profit health advocacy organization that works to improve the health outcomes of African American, Latino, and Korean communities in Los Angeles County.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – A massive 6.6 Nicaragua earthquake today 2014 has just hit, following a previous LALATE report about another quake in the nation. The terremoto en Nicaragua hoy April 11, 2014, a 6.6 temblor, hit moments ago. It followed a strong quake yesterday and a lighter quake reported on LALATE earlier this Friday.
The Nicaragua earthquake today 2014 began just after 2:29 PM local time. USGS indicates to news that the terremoto en Nicaragua hoy 4-11-14 registered a 6.6 magnitude, far in excess of the 6.1 magnitude quake that was reported on yesterday. Today's temblor for 4/11/14, however, had a bigger depth and slightly different epicenter.
USGS tells news that the latest terremoto was seven miles east of Nadaime. It was twelve miles south of Diriomo. It started fifteen miles east of Jinotepe and thirty-five miles south of Managua. USGS reports to news about the type of plate formation in this area. "The southern Caribbean plate boundary with the South America plate strikes east-west across Trinidad and western Venezuela at a relative rate of approximately 20 mm/yr. This boundary is characterized by major transform faults, including the Central Range Fault and the Boconó-San Sebastian-El Pilar Faults, and shallow seismicity."
Today is perhaps the biggest quake since 1967, reps tell news. "Since 1900, the largest earthquakes to occur in this region were the October 29, 1900 M7.7 Caracas earthquake, and the July 29, 1967 M6.5 earthquake near this same region. Further to the west, a broad zone of compressive deformation trends southwestward across western Venezuela and central Columbia."
USGS also tell news "The plate boundary is not well defined across northwestern South America, but deformation transitions from being dominated by Caribbean/South America convergence in the east to Nazca/South America convergence in the west." They note that "the transition zone between subduction on the eastern and western margins of the Caribbean plate is characterized by diffuse seismicity involving low- to intermediate-magnitude (M<6.0) earthquakes of shallow to intermediate depth."

Just wondering if anyone knows of a page / xml feed or something which I can monitor so I can quickly see if any new updates have been released for Windows/OSX.
So instead of running Windows/Software update, I can just check this page (automate it) and tell instantly if anything new has come out.
Ideally this shouldn't be a file on the computer, but something online.

"Behind the Scenes"
The Land of Golden Sunshine
An Allegory of Soul-Yearning
by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)
After writing a succession of deeply serious books, I sought respite in something that, although serious also, appeals more directly to the heart. This book is a rewritten story that I first wrote when I was eighteen. It was my Christmas gift to Ananda members in a recent year. In a very real sense, it is the intimate story of my own life.
The girl in this story, Lisa, is myself. Her simple yearning for perfect love and happiness is my own true longing in life-not the many things I've done, but one thing only: to know my Infinite Beloved. I have worked so hard-harder, perhaps, than many-with only one motive: to help others also to know and to love our one Beloved. Nothing else in life has any meaning for me.

EMS solar systems make going green affordable and easy.
Harness the power of the sun and decrease or eliminate your electric bill!
Why EMS Solar?
Solar electricity is no longer the energy of the future; it's the energy of today! By making solar truly affordable and accessible,
EMS has made it possible for everyone to reduce or eliminate electric bills while improving the quality of our environment.
EMS's complete consumer ready solar systems are designed to simplify the process for the end-user and provide the most cost-effective solar solutions on the market. In many states, government incentives and rebates may offset your purchase price entirely!
EMS Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Grid tied systems do not use batteries! The panels work by producing DC power during sunlight hours and converting it to AC power through an inverter. The inverter then feeds the load required by the home, before pushing the remaining AC power through a "net meter" out to the grid.
Net meters are provided by your utility company when you install the system. The net meter is a
bi-directional electric meter that spins forward as usual when you are using more power in your home than you are producing with your panels (at night, for instance), and spins BACKWARD when you are producing more electricity than you are using in your home. This is how you generate credits with your utility!
Which EMS Solar System is the right one for you?
This depends on how much electricity you use, how much you want to spend on your system and how long you want to wait before you recover your return on investment. The EMS Solar pricing direct to the consumer is set-up to minimize your initial investment by offering the best prices available on the market which, along with government incentives and rebates, make going solar extremely affordable and in millions of cases – FREE!
Call us to discover the amount of electricity you can save using each of our systems and to review government incentives and rebates that may offset your purchase price entirely!
Government incentives and rebates mean you save thousands! Decrease or eliminate your electric
bill today!

There are several areas of human endeavour where profit should not be a factor. At least not profit on a corporate scale. The most obvious of these is health care where no business should be making extraordinary amounts of money off the misery and infirmities of the people. Another area is food production. Well actually, food should not be produced, it should be grown.
Agribusinesses – miles of monoculture crops growing in barren soil thanks only to tons of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and water – are doing nothing to solve the problem of how seven billion people can feed themselves. But they are getting rich.
Now we have the added insult of genetically modified organisms or GMOs. In theory, tinkering with a plant's genetic make-up could produce one that is better able to withstand drought, or cold, or one that produces more per acre than nature intended. Unfortunately, in practice GMOs are a disaster, and how they are being marketed is even worse.
Many doctors and scientists have noticed a correlation between the advent of genetically modified corn in particular, and increased cases of autism, gluten intolerance, autoimmune diseases, neurological problems, obesity and a general decline in the heath of populations that consume them.
The average person may think that the only corn they eat comes from local farmers. They are unaware that corn syrup is made from genetically modified corn, or that corn syrup is added to practically every processed food on the supermarket shelves. HFCS – high fructose corn syrup - is added to fast foods as a preservative and to improve the taste of mass-produced foods.
Without realizing it the average American consumes in the region of 60 pounds of this syrup each year. No wonder Americans lead the world in obesity.
The company that has led the GMO revolution and masterminded worldwide dominance for their products is Monsanto. Their marketing methods are dishonest and insidious, their disregard for human health complete, and they maintain their monopolies by suing anyone who opts to grow the old-fashioned way with seed saved from the harvest. They have also won lawsuits against anyone (like the current writer) who dares to criticize their business model.
Farmers with the misfortune to be located next to Monsanto land have had their organic certification revoked when their crops have been contaminated with GM seed that drifted on to their land. And then Monsanto has sued them for patent infringement for growing the genetically modified plants they would so like to get rid of.
Monsanto seems to be on a path to control every crop and every farmer. Third world farmers have been hoodwinked into giving up their traditional practices. They have been lured into the monoculture, industrialized food production world by promises of free seed and assurances of greater crops. This may happen the first year while their soil is still naturally fertile, and perhaps even the second year.
By the third year this unnatural method of farmer has so depleted the soils that the farmers must apply fertilizer to the rows. The next year they must buy pesticide to kills the bugs that threaten their GMO crops. And where do they get the fertilizer and pesticide from? That's right. From Monsanto.

At around 8:30 Tuesday evening, a crew of firefighters in West Seattle responded to a fire that was consuming a small rental home in the 10200-block of 34th Avenue. The firefighters battled the blaze from a distance, because a report said there may be ammunition inside. Working tirelessly, the civil servants extinguished the blaze before it could completely destroy the home.
When the flames had finally been eradicated, authorities questioned the renter who occupied the now gutted house. The anonymous man claimed that he had been doing laundry when he spotted a small spider climbing up one wall. Apparently he missed this little blog post about how the odds of encountering a truly poisonous spider in Seattle are pretty minute, be his immediate response was to prep for battle with the little beast.
Did he grab a paper towel and trap the creature or roll up some newspaper and beat it to death like a normal human person? Nope, the unnamed gentleman - who we'll call Dummy for brevity's sake - decided the most effective tools he could employ for some good, old-fashioned spider murder was a can of spray paint and a cigarette lighter. To be clear, just using the spray paint would have mostly likely killed the spider, but Dummy is a man who likes to do the job right. Imagine his surprise when the wall of his rental home caught fire and began to spread.
Fortunately, Dummy and the woman he lived with made it out safe, but not before the fire caused about $40,000 in structural damage and another $20,000 in property damage. The Red Cross is currently helping to find temporary housing for the man and woman.

Who is ready for another example HIIT workout? Did you try the first one? If you did, I'm sure you felt it. In a good way of course. If you didn't, what are you waiting for? Well, read this next example and try it!
Before we get started though, I want to make sure everyone knows the basics. Interval training is very different from cardio. While cardiovascular workouts work your body aerobically over a long period of time, HIIT workouts work anaerobically, without oxygen, for short burst of time with recovery rests in between. The idea is to go as hard as you possibly can for 2 minutes or so and then rest for 30 seconds. This method of exercising really burns a lot of fat and will for some time after you finish your workout.
Example Workout #2
Warm-up: I will repeat myself a thousand times before I forget this. The warm-up is crucial. It is absolutely key to prepare your body for the HIIT workout you are going to do. HIIT workouts are intense purposefully. You are trying to be absolutely out of breath. In order to do that, you have to go 101%. For that reason, you need to set your body up and prepare it for what you are about to endure. If you stretch and warm-up well, then you can really perform to the best of your ability when you start your drills.
Warm-up ideas: Some great ideas for a warm-up are to do exercises that could be done during a HIIT drill, but at a little lower pace. Some examples are jumping jacks, running in place, butt kickers, high knees, squats, and even things like jabs to prepare the arms. The warm-up should last about 5 minutes and then you should stretch. Some key muscles to stretch are the back, glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. These are key to HIIT workouts because a lot of times they include plyometric-like exercies. Once you finish your warm-up and stretch, you are ready to begin.
Drill 1:
- 30 second squat jacks
- 30 second push-up into side plank
- 30 second high knees
- 30 second jump rope (if no jump rope, do butt kickers, or get creative and do your weakness! My weakness is burpees.)
Rest for 30-45 seconds.
Drill 2:
- 30 second burpees
- 30 second sprint
- 30 second wacky jacks
- 30 second moving push-ups
- 30 second mountain climbers on ground
Rest for 30-45 seconds.
Drill 3:
- 30 seconds worth of tucks jumps (as many as possible)
- 30 second suicide drills
- 30 second scissor legs and arms
- 30 second squat and jumps
Rest for 30-45 seconds.
Repeat 2-3 times depending on how advanced you are.
Don't forget the cool down! If you do, you will feel it. It is like the stretch! Important to let the body and muscles stretch along with lowering your heart rate so that you can go back to a normal state. You need your muscles to slowly deplete the lactic acid that has built up and deliver more blood to the heart. In this way, you will not feel nauseous, light-headed, etc. after your workout!
Bottom Line
The bottom line is you can read about HIIT workouts and interval training all you want, but the next step is to go out there and do it. Give it a try! What do you have to lose? If you have any questions or comments, leave them below!

Damages estimated near $50,000
January 17, 2013 | Vol. 116 -- No. 39
James Eik
Only one small part of the damage inflicted on the church, vandals took a shovel and broke open this soda machine. Cans were strewn around the church, some of which were picked up by police.
Vandals caused the Sunday service at Lake City Assembly of God in Medical Lake to be put on hold, after doing extensive damage throughout the church and its property.
The break-in, which took place between Saturday, Jan. 12, and Sunday morning, Jan. 13, caused around $50,000 in damage to the church. Pastor Nick Hawkins said janitors arrived early Sunday to find that a large potted plant outside the building had been thrown through the front glass door.
From there, a string of garbage, glass and damage stretched throughout the church.
Hawkins said the vandals broke into a cabinet that con...

NEW YORK -- Sharaud Curry scored 25 points and Providence held DePaul without a field goal for nearly 8 minutes to beat the surprising Blue Demons 83-74 in the second round of the Big East tournament Wednesday, enhancing its chances for an NCAA bid.
Eighth-seeded Providence (19-12), needing a good showing to help make its case for an at-large bid, got its first victory in the Big East tourney since 2003. The road gets considerably tougher, though, as the Friars face No. 1 seed and fifth-ranked Louisville in the quarterfinals Thursday.
DePaul's Will Walker and Dar Tucker each had 31 points, the first time two teammates scored more than 30 in a Big East tournament game.
Weyinmi Efejuku scored 23 and Geoff McDermott had eight points and nine rebounds to help give coach Keno Davis his first postseason win as Providence's coach.
The Friars took advantage of the Blue Demons' lack of depth, denying DePaul a field goal for more than 8 minutes in the second half to turn a 62-59 deficit into a 70-62 lead with 3:36 to play.
Walker, who played 40 minutes in each game, matched a career high with his 31 points. But he went almost 13 minutes of the second half without a field goal until he made one of his six 3-pointers with less than 2 minutes to play. Tucker also failed to score for nearly 9 minutes.
Mario Stula was 3-for-3 on 3-pointers for DePaul, which shot 13-for-31 from behind the arc. The Blue Demons (9-24) had defeated Cincinnati for their first conference win of the year in the first round of a tournament expanded to include all 16 teams. They lost 24 games for the first time in their 85 years.
Providence shot 50 percent in the first to half to take a 32-31 lead behind 16 from Curry. DePaul grabbed eight offensive boards in the half but Curry made three 3-pointers down the stretch.
The Blue Demons went up 55-51 with 11:15 left in the game behind two acrobatic drives by Tucker. But the second was the last field goal for the Blue Demons until Walker made his 3 with less than 2 minutes to play. In that span, DePaul, the worst free throw shooting team in the conference, made eight of 14 shots from the line, including going 1-for-2 on a technical foul against Davis at 8:32.
When DePaul went cold, Weyinmi and Jeff Xavier picked up their play. Xavier made two of his three 3-pointers and Weyinmi scored six points to help make it 72-63.

Every year we lose the Premier League to Man U by an average of 2 points, usually because we blow an easy game late in the year. This cannot be by accident. Clearly the developers have hardcoded the game to make sure Arsenal never actually win any trophies.

No change at the top, status quo at the bottom. In between? Every day I'm shufflin' …
1. Clemson (7-0, 4-0 ACC; LW: No. 1) – Maryland gave Clemson its best shot, but the Tigers escaped College Park with a win thanks in large part to a record-setting performance by freshman receiver Sammy Watkins. It was not, however, a banner day for the defense. It was a close call, but Clemson still stands alone in the ACC and is one of 10 undefeated teams remaining in the country.
2. Virginia Tech (6-1, 2-1; LW: No. 3) – Welcome back, Hokies. Virginia's upset of Georgia Tech gave the Hokies a boost in the conference race, but Virginia Tech has done a good job of helping itself lately. Quarterback Logan Thomas had another impressive performance in the win over Wake Forest, and the offense seems to have finally found its groove over the past two weekends.
3. Georgia Tech (6-1, 3-1; LW: No. 2) – This team has shown some vulnerabilities all season, and Virginia's running game took advantage of one of them on Saturday. That loss didn't undo the Jackets, it just leveled the playing field a bit more in the Coastal Division race.
4. Miami (3-3, 1-2; LW: No. 6) – Quarterback Jacory Harris has now gone three consecutive games without an interception, and the Canes seem to have new life. Miami has yet to put together back-to-back wins, but could be catching a Georgia Tech team when it's down this weekend.
5. Wake Forest (4-2, 3-1; LW: No. 4) – The Deacs' four-game winning streak came to a screeching halt against Virginia Tech, as the defense couldn't find an answer for Logan Thomas or David Wilson. Wake now has back-to-back road trips against in-state opponents Duke and North Carolina, and is still in good shape with only one conference loss.
6. North Carolina (5-2, 1-2; LW: No. 5) – The Tar Heels have lost the two games that matter most so far, to division opponents Georgia Tech and Miami. It's not going to get any easier this week at No. 7 Clemson. The Tar Heels are 5-2, but they've still got a lot to prove.
7. Florida State (3-3, 1-2; LW: No. 7) – The Seminoles took their frustrations out on Duke in a 41-16 romp over the Blue Devils and earned their first conference victory and snapped a three-game losing streak. After three consecutive road games, the Noles finally return home this weekend against a struggling Maryland team.
8. Virginia (4-2, 1-1; LW: No. 10) – The win over then-No. 12 Georgia Tech was monumental for coach Mike London and his program, but the challenge for Virginia now is to build on it — something the Cavaliers weren't able to do after last year's upset of Miami. This team has a chance to become bowl-eligible, but it needs to take advantage of a home game against a struggling NC State team this weekend.
9. Maryland (2-4, 1-2; LW: No. 8 ) – It was an all-out effort by the Terps and an outstanding performance by quarterback C.J. Brown, but it wasn't enough to knock off Clemson. Maryland has now lost four of its past five and its bowl hopes seem grim. The outlook doesn't look much brighter this weekend with a road trip to Tallahassee looming.
10. Duke (3-3, 1-1; LW: No. 9) – The Blue Devils' three-game winning streak ran into a brick wall over the weekend against Florida State. Historically, the upcoming matchup with Wake Forest has been lopsided in the Deacs' favor, but it's been an entertaining series in recent years. Duke will have to get a faster start offensively, though, if it's going to hang with Tanner Price & Co.
11. NC State (3-3, 0-2; LW: No. 11) – The Wolfpack had a bye week to heal and regroup and they needed it – just as much as Boston College. The problem is, NC State has back-to-back road games, and Virginia has confidence and momentum after its upset of Georgia Tech. Opportunities for bowl eligibility are getting slim.
12. Boston College (1-5, 0-3; LW: No. 12) – Coach Frank Spaziani is right: His team has shown some improvement week to week, but BC fans are ready for it to show up in the win column. That will be easier said than done, though, with back-to-back road trips, starting this weekend in Blacksburg.

Tonight's full moon is the Harvest Moon and, with the moon almost at perigee, it is about 12% bigger than the typical full moon.
NASA has some entertaining facts about moonlight here. They mention several experiments that would definitely be fun for kids or kids at heart. Purkinje shift. Fun with your fovea, etc. I'm off to try reading a book in the moonlight...

You may have read of the "Law Firm of Reutimann, Overstreet, andKennedy" in "Fast Floridians" (Dec. '04 SCR) where the Craftsman TruckSeries team of David Reutimann was profiled. Now there's a juniorpartner--Mike Faulk--with the ever-present Buzzie Reutimann.
Faulk, 22, was Rookie of the Year and winner of two races in the 2003Florida Pro Late Model Series. Then, in 2004 he went to the NASCAR KodakElite Southeast Series with the double-zero Pennzoil car of WakelyMotorsports where David Reutimann's dad, Buzzie, called the shots. ButFaulk experienced some rough times, as racers often do.
Faulk is moving to Michael Burton's MB3 Motorsports and the HootersProCup Series where he will compete for Rookie of the Year in 2005.Buzzie and Faulk's dad, Lee, will still be involved, the former ascrewchief.
Yes, 2004 was a learning experience, but let Faulk tell it:
"I appreciate the opportunity given to me by Michael Wakely, Pennzoil,and the Wakely Motorsports team. Unfortunately, 2004 has not been whatwe hoped for. Our motor program let us down in several races, and weweren't able to recover.
"Running in the NASCAR Kodak Southeast Elite Touring Division has been agreat learning experience, and we were competitive in all other aspects,but six DNFs due to engine failures kept us out of the points race, andthat's not acceptable for us. We felt we were close to a couple of winsand the car was capable of several Top 5s, but we weren't able to keepthe motor together to seal the deal.
"After talking to my dad and Buzzie about the offer from MB3 MotorSportsand determining Michael Burton's commitment to winning, we felt it wasbest for us to make the move over to the Hooters ProCup Series and tocompete for the 2005 Rookie of the Year."
The Details
More on that and his No. 53 car in a minute. First, about Faulk. Just ashe vowed last season, his goals are still to graduate from theUniversity of Florida in public relations, hopefully after two moresemesters, and to move up in his racing career.
To lighten his load, he sold the lawn care business which he'd startedin his Gainesville, Florida, hometown.
Mike Faulk. Remember the name. He's the son of Lee--former driver of theSlender U NASCAR Cup and Busch cars and now a car builder--and AmbyFaulk, who now sees her son following in her husband's tire tracks.
"I remember when I was around six years old going to watch my dad racein the All American Challenge Series (later NASCAR All Pro). I grew upgoing to Orlando Speed World and New Smyrna on Friday and Saturdaynights," Faulk recalls.
He first climbed into a race car in Bill Beltz's Pure Stock at nearbyBronson, and in the ensuing season won nine races. Then he moved to LateModels and competed in the S.A.R.A. Series where he was Rookie of Yearand finished Third in points in 2000.
From there it was pick and choose until, under Lee's guidance, heentered the Florida Pro Series full time for 2003.
Enter the Reutimanns, David and Buzzie. "I had first met David Reutimannthrough my dad at a local short-track race in Florida," says Faulk. "Iwas a youngster, but Dad was racing and I was spotting for him."
Although from different venues, Buzzie and Lee also crossed pathsfrequently.
"Buzzie is known for his open-wheel background, and my dad was more intothe Late Model scene, so they didn't get a chance to race togethermuch," Faulk says.
However, David started driving the Cowherd Motorsports Late Model in2000 after the senior Faulk was in the car, which is currently driven byJames Powell.
"That relationship didn't last very long, but we became closer friendswith David," recalls Faulk.
Did they ever. So much so that when Reutimann left the 00 car last year,he recommended Faulk as his replacement, but with the results mentionedearlier.
"I'm used to me and Dad loading up and going to the races, which is howwe've done it my whole career," Faulk says. "So it will be fun to bondwith a new team and new people at the Hooters ProCup races.
"Even without TV, Hooters ProCup seems to be better promoted and thepublic is more aware of the series. There are certainly more fans in thestands. Hooters is corporate friendly, and that always helps to attractcurrent and prospective sponsors and their clients. The ProCup Series isthe main attraction for Hooters Racing, so naturally it's broadly andpowerfully promoted. The series also attracts the best and mostexperienced drivers in the country, and winning at this level wouldreally mean something to me personally."
Buzzie's official position will be Mike's crewchief. Young Faulk andBuzzie have proven they communicate well together, and Buzzie'sknowledge and experience is an obvious advantage for the team. Buzziewill of course consult with both teams regarding race car setups, tires,shocks, motors, gears, and so on.
Lee is the general manager of MB3 Motorsports. He will oversee allaspects of both teams on and off the track.
Michael and Michelle Burton from Ocala, Florida, are the owners of theteam, and Larry Goolsby from nearby Williston, Florida, is the driver ofthe second team car.
What about that all-important sponsorship for the new No. 53 car?
"Team owner Michael Burton is heavily involved with companies such asHerbalife, Mybodyshape.com, and several others, which will play a keyrole in corporate sponsorship," Faulk says.
Reutimann, the Truck Series driver, is married to Lisa with daughterEmilia, so the pair's outside interests took quite a fork in the road in2004--Reutimann to the trucks and Faulk to the Southeast Series--asFaulk attests.
"Since he is married and I am single, our interests aren't exactly thesame as I'm sure you can imagine," Faulk says. "I don't really know whatDavid likes to do in his spare time--which he doesn't really have any ofanymore. As for myself, though, I like water-skiing, basketball,fishing, and I always keep time to the side for girls.
"We do speak, probably three times a week, depending upon schedules, andwe make time to visit one another personally when close by," says Faulk."I call David not only about car setups and tracks, but about the racingbusiness in general. He's a great friend and helps whenever and howeverhe can."

Nov. 7, 2012
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa men's swimming and diving team moved up to 10th in the latest College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) NCAA men's Division I rankings. The Hawkeyes were 19th in the initial preseason poll.
The top-25 reflects each team's best performance meets swum over a rolling three-week period. This week's rankings reflect performances swum Oct. 15 through Nov. 4.
Iowa is one of six Big Ten Conference teams in the poll, along with top-ranked Michigan, Minnesota (9), Indiana (11), Ohio State (15) and Purdue (23).
The Hawkeyes, 1-1 in dual competition, are coming off a 165.5-132.5 loss at then-No. 13 Minnesota. Iowa opened the season with a road victory at Michigan State.
Iowa was ranked as high as 10th during the 2011-12 season before finishing the year in 14th place in the final dual rankings and 17th in the final CSCAA prediction poll.

Georgia congressman and Senate candidate Paul Broun has once again lashed out at immigration reform as being destructive to America.
In an interview with the Tea Party Express earlier this month, Broun declared that immigration reform would be "disastrous for Republicans" and "disastrous for anybody who is freedom-loving."
"I think if John Boehner were to press on with comprehensive immigration reform, it will be disastrous for Republicans," said Broun, "not only in this election, but for decades to come. And it would be disastrous for anybody who is freedom-loving and wants to reduce the size of government. I introduced the 'No Amnesty' resolution, which says, 'no amnesty for anyone with any immigration reform.' And we should not have amnesty. We should be a nation that is directed under the rule of law."
Once again, Broun's "logic" is that immigrants will mostly be voting for Democrats.
Which makes sense, given that Broun and co. would greatly prefer it if the immigrants had no voting rights at all.
"I swore to uphold the Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic," said Broun. "Both political parties today are domestic enemies to the Constitution. I'm fighting those people. I'm a freedom fighter. I'm fighting for liberty and freedom."
What Broun obviously left out is who's liberty and freedom he is fighting for: For himself and invited guests only.

|Formulation of the Baum-Connes Conjecture
The Baum-Connes conjecture is most easily formulated for those discrete, torsion-free groups G. Suppose that M is a closed, spin^c manifold and that W is a principal G-space over M. The Dirac operator on M lifts to a G-equivariant Dirac operator on W. Because W is noncompact this lifted operator does not have an integer Fredholm index, but it does have a "higher index" which lies in the K-theory of the reduced C*-algebra of G. Now as Atiyah showed and Baum made precise, spin^c-manifolds equipped with principal G-covers may be viewed as cycles for the K-homology of the classifying space BG. The higher index construction gives rise to an "assembly map" from the K-homology of BG to the K-theory of the reduced C*-algebra of G. The Baum-Connes conjecture asserts that this map is an isomorphism. Roughly speaking, the conjecture asserts that every element in the K-theory group of a reduced group C*-algebra is a higher index of a Dirac operator, and that the only relations among these indices are geometric in nature (for example, bordism of manifolds gives rise to an identity of higher indices, just as it gives rise to an identity between oridinary Fredholm indices).
If G is not torsion-free (or not even discrete), then the formulation is a bit more complex. This is because there are new ways of obtaining higher indices in the K-theory of a reduced group C*-algebra: every equivariant operator on a proper (not necessarily principal), G-compact manifold has an index in the K-theory of the group C*-algebra. The collection of all such index problems may be organized into the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space for proper G-actions, and the Baum-Connes conjecture asserts that the natural assembly map from this equivariant K-homology group into the K-theory of the group C*-algebra is an isomorphism.
In the special case of connected Lie groups, the Baum-Connes conjecture can be made into a more precise statement about Dirac induction. This is the Connes-Kasparov conjecture.

Why Utica Police Didn't Buy Their Assault Rifles From Remington
If a local police department is purchasing firearms, it only makes sense that they would buy from a local gun manufacturer, right?
It not quite that simple says Utica Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Steve Hauck.
Keeler in the Morning listeners contacted the show questiong why the UPD's recent purchase of assualt weapons came from Smith and Wesson and not Remington Arms in Ilion.
"When these guns were purchased, they were purchased under state contracts. When you are part of government, as police are, essentially, you get your specifications whether its a car, firearm or whatever. You have to look at what the state bids are.," said Hauck.
"When the firearms were purchased, Remington didn't have a bid on that state contract," Hauck said. "The state says 'This is what your specifications are, you can choose this or this."
Based on what UPD had to choose from, they selected the Smith and Wesson because of 'familiarity' with their standard police issue S &W, he said.
"I will say Remington makes a great firearm. All of our shotguns that we carry are all Remington," he said.

RIM are getting ready to ramp up the BlackBerry experience with their BB10 handset, teasing that they're "Re-designed. Re-engineered. Re-invented". Let's just hope that this is enough to compete with the seriously tough competition.
Well, this image has arrived as a slight teaser on the new BB10 handset, and is parted of the registration campaign for news updates on BB10. Apart from this there's nothing more to add, but the huge reveal will take place on January 30.
So we'll see in just over a month if RIM can compete in a very different market - something I'm not convinced they'll be able to pull off. But, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Green Vegetable Minestrone
Minestrone is sort of a catch-all Italian term for soup, but it's always a welcome meal, especially when it's fortified, as it is here, with plenty of vegetables and protein-packed chickpeas. If you want a little more bite, consider substituting mildly bitter escarole for the chard.Yield: 8 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each
Active Time: 45
Total Time: 70
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 small leeks, white and light green parts only, quartered, washed and sliced
- 2 small stalks celery, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups water
- 1 cup whole-wheat short pasta, such as elbows, bowties or shells
- 8 cups chopped green chard leaves
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or basil
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven, over medium heat. Add leeks, celery, onion and 1┌2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add zucchini, potato and garlic and cook, stirring, about 1 minute more. Add water and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add pasta and chard; cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add chickpeas and peas and simmer until the pasta is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Season with pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Top with Parmesan and parsley (or basil). Serve immediately.

Humans are fairly new on the planet compared to insects and they are still learning about them and how to live with them. The University of Wisconsin Department of Entomology is making a study on insect biology and their effect on the ecology
Honey bees are the most important insect to life without them there would be no crops. They are intelligent and have a complex communication system. They produce honey, which is a whole food, beeswax used by humans as an ointment, and pollen that humans use as a food supplement. Beekeepers are hired out by farmers throughout the country to pollinate their fields.
Silk worms have been used by man for millennia. It is the larva of the Bombyx mori, a moth originating in Asia. Because it eats only mulberry leaves it is now extinct in the wild. They are raised from eggs in captivity and when the caterpillar spins its cocoon it is unraveled for the silk.
Insects help in the development of medicines, research for diseases and mechanics.
Many insects pose a problem for man, locusts destroy corps, mosquitoes transmit malaria and ticks carry lime disease. They often spread diseases from one person to another or from animal to animal. Horseflies and deerflies carrying equine infectious anemia from horse to horse.
The human/insect equation is complex and though man has dealt with the situation from the time of existence it is a relatively new concept.

- 1-1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1 tablespoon minced celery

- dash of hot sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese
Instructions:Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake the piecrust for 5 minutes—and no longer, or the crust will shrink. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the chicken, celery, and shallots. Spread the mixture onto the crust. In the same bowl, beat together the eggs, cream, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 10 minutes.

Is there a way in Outlook 2007 to set it up so that if a user is part of a distribution group and receives an email sent to that group, that when they click reply, it puts into the FROM field the address of the distribution group?
At the moment the user has to manually set the FROM field every time they are replying to an email sent to the distribution group.
If you can set the default from address based on the emails category I could setup inbox rules to categorise emails as they come in?
I don't really want to have to look into writing a plugin for outlook to do this, hoping there is something built in.

Many families have a favorite macaroni and cheese recipe. One that the entire family, as well as the kids friends, love. But not everyone tries their favorite recipe with add-ins. This is but one idea for add-ins. It is possible to use a variety of meats and vegetables, in different combinations, to add something interesting to a family favorite.
macaroni and cheese, not quite done (Almost at the end of the cook time.)
1 to 2 cups cooked and chopped chicken
1/2 to 1 cup diced tomato
Option 1: Stovetop Cooking
- When the mac and cheese is not quite fully cooked, add the chicken and tomato.
- Cook on low until warmed through.
Option 2: A Baked Concoction
- Before the macaroni and cheese is fully cooked, take it off the stove top.
- Grease the bottom of a casserole dish with a thin layer of coconut oil.
- Spread the chicken out in the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with the diced tomato.
- Spread the mac and cheese evenly over the chicken and tomatoes.
- Bake at 350* until warmed through.
- Use store brand pasta to save money on the grocery bill.
- Use tomatoes fresh from the garden to save even more money on the food bill, and for superior taste.
Serving Suggestions

The Detroit News reports that Rochester's Crittenton Hospital, Adrian's Bixby Medical Center and Tecumseh's Herrick Medical Center only are hiring nonsmokers and people who don't use tobacco.
ProMedica wellness director Laura Ritzler says costs are lowered because nonsmoking staffs don't have the same health care issues or complications that come with tobacco use. ProMedica owns Bixby and Herrick.
Crittenton spokesman Jeff Kapuscinski says the hospital revoked two job offers after applicants tested positive for nicotine during a screening. He says the policy does not affect current employees.
A workers' rights group says 29 states have laws that prevent hiring discrimination against smokers.

The Atlantic.com featured a great new infographic piece recently that outlined how mobile phones are replacing credit cards. The mobile payments market is growing rapidly with the value of mobile transactions expected to reach $670 billion by 2015.
Square, one of the most talked about electronic payment services created by Jack Dorsey, more famously known for coming up with Twitter, and Jim McKelvey was released just early of 2010.
New contenders in the mobile payments space are starting to make noise including Google Wallet, ISIS, Visa Wallet and Serve by American Express. These names are coming up with features to surpass each other to be the dominant name in the market. This has all been made possible with the use of near field communication (NFC) chips which allows for simple data exchange between two devices simply by physical touch.
All NFC requires is an initiator that generates a radio frequency (RF) field with a four-centimeter range, and a target that picks up the RF field and receives the data sent.
