Herbs and Spices
Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Herbs and spices are expensive! I can get jars of a few things (cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian Seasoning, lemon pepper, chili powder, seasoned salt) at Walmart for 50 cents a jar, or slightly bigger jars of more things (the same as at Walmart, plus cumin and parsley and a few others) at Aldi for 99 cents, but beyond these very basic seasonings it gets really expensive.
The cheapest place I've found to buy herbs and spices is at someplace like Winco, where you can buy them from bins, in bulk. I think Fred Meyers has the same thing. Unfortunately, the only place around here to buy them in bulk is at the coop, where most of them are organic and everything is expensive.
For purposes of costing my menus, I've been assuming that I could get a little bit of whatever other herbs and spices I need at the coop for 50 cents or a dollar, but hadn't really looked into it any more closely that that. Until about a week ago, when I went over and got prices on the things I seemed to be using the most. I got the price per pound from there, went online to find how many grams were in a tablespoon of the seasonings (I fiddled until I came up with the same number of calories in some number of grams as in a tablespoon), and then came up with a price per tablespoon. For most things, except some of those that I can get for 50 cents at Walmart, a tablespoon will last me a long time. Like months. At least as long as they say you should keeps herbs and spices before they go stale.
Here are the prices per pound and per tablespoon at our local coop.
allspice - $29.79/lb, 40 cents per tablespoon
celery seed - $18.80/lb, 27 cents per tablespoon
cayenne - $15.48/lb, 18 cents per tablespoon
red pepper flakes - $7.69/lb, 9 cents per tablespoon
chili powder - $22.89/lb, 38 cents per tablespoon
cinnamon - $9.19/lb, 14 cents per tablespoon
cloves, ground - $18.55/lb, 27 cents per tablespoon
dill seed - $13.29/lb, 19 cents per tablespoon
dill weed (the dried greens) - $26.49/lb, 18 cents per tablespoon
ginger - $17.89/lb, 21 cents per tablespoon
marjoram leaf - $20.49/lb, 5 cents per tablespoon
paprika - $17.09/lb, 26 cents per tablespoon
rosemary - $12.79/lb, 9 cents per tablespoon
garlic powder - $13.69/lb, 26 cents per tablespoon
It's by no means exact, but a tablespoon of a ground herb or spice seems to run about 7 grams per tablespoon. At least you could use that as an estimate in figuring the cost per tablespoon. Say about 2% of the cost per pound. So, if something costs $20 per pound, it would cost about 40 cents per tablespoon. Actually, that's high - it's really closer to 1.5% of the per pound cost, but 2% is easier to figure. Leaf herbs are more variable, but if you figure 1% of the per pound cost you should be a bit on the high side. So if a leaf herb - oregano leaf, for example, instead of ground oregano - costs $20 per pound, it probably costs less than 20 cents per tablespoon.
Some things are a better buy at Walmart, because I use a lot of them, like cinnamon and chili powder, but a lot of them are actually cheaper at the very expensive coop. The problem is that I tend to buy way too much at a time there. I may have figured out a solution to that problem, though. We can take in our own jars, weigh them before we fill them, and then use them to buy the seasonings. The cashier takes off the weight of the jar. I�m going to try putting a tablespoon of salt or something like that in a few jars and look very hard at them to see how much a tablespoon is. I might even draw a line around the jar at one tablespoon. Then, when I need a refill, I�ll try to get just one tablespoon. Or even less of a few things. It will make it a lot easier to keep fresh herbs and spices that way, too. I hate to throw out an almost full jar of something, even if it is several years old! If you can't take in your own jars, try doing the same thing with one of their bags. Get a good idea of how much a tablespoon is, and then try to get only that much. Or however much you think you'll use, but using that idea.
Some herbs and spices � bay leaf for one � can sometimes be bought in little plastic pouches in the Mexican section of some stores. Or I�m told that you can sometimes buy spices more cheaply in ethnic grocery stores.
Finally, growing your own is a good option, if you can. I have a tarragon plant that I planted several years ago. It keeps coming back every year. So do my chives. I also have thyme and rosemary in pots. I move the pots outside in the summer and back inside in the winter. I�ve done the same with parsley and oregano. And basil and dill grow in the summer and are good for other garden plants, too, though they have to be replanted each summer.
My biggest problem with herbs and spices, both fresh and from the store, is that I buy way more than I use. Not only do I buy too much of each one, but then I forget to use them. I�m working on using more fresh herbs this month in my real life. They do add a special touch to things.

It's not the little shrpinkles that add up, Woubbie. It's the jars and bottles you have to buy to get them!

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I make my own spice blend- I add everything but garlic and onion to it, I add those to the food last. I use about 1/4 cup. In 20 cups of brown rice for the kids and group home gals I use 2 T garlic and 1/2 c dried onions. I never realized it was all so expensive! Thank You!

The BCS title game has finally arrived on Jan. 6. After weeks of waiting, the Florida State Seminoles and Auburn Tigers are ready to actually take the field. If the BCS championship goes like most games for the Seminoles, it will be over by halftime -- whereas it will likely go down to a wacky finish if the Tigers have their way.
The Seminoles and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston have been the most dominant figures of the year, while the Tigers and first-year coach Gus Malzahn have been the most blessed. Auburn had some of the most heralded photo finishes of all time just to get here, while Florida State has never really been challenged in the fourth quarter.
If the BCS title comes down to the fourth quarter, the presumption is that the Tigers have more experience in nail biters to win. Of course, the Seminoles have been so overwhelming, not even the Tigers may have a improbable trick up their sleeve for them. Then again, the Alabama Crimson Tide were overwhelming, two-time defending national champions before Auburn broke their hearts.
The Tigers have been able to win shootouts, so their offense can keep pace with Winston. Nevertheless, Winston is unlike any individual Auburn has faced this year. The Missouri Tigers scored 42 points on Auburn in the SEC title game and still got blown out, yet Florida State is far more likely to win if it gets that much.
The Tigers are technically more experienced, as their seniors won the BCS championship four years ago, while this is the Seminoles' first shot in over a decade -- and their first ever shot without Bobby Bowden. Of course, this is old hat for the SEC in general, as it can close out the BCS by winning it's last eight championships. In fact, the national title trophy hasn't even left the state of Alabama since 2009.
Florida State and Auburn took widely different paths to play for the national title. Which path works better than the other -- the path more battle tested or the one where battles aren't even necessary? The answer will show itself in Pasadena, starting at 8:30 p.m. est on ESPN.

As more people are diagnosed with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten intolerance, people in the restaurant industry are finding their employees affected by this disease and they are taking note. They understand that gluten free isn't a fad and it needs to be taken seriously when it comes to food preparation not just ingredients. Every time a restaurant owner, their families, or employees are diagnosed, the gluten-free community gains a new option that not only gets it, but raises the stakes by offering hard-to-find items, like grilled cheese and fried chicken.
This month's installment bring with it: fried tacos, fancy grilled cheese, fried chicken, pasta, burgers on buns, cheesecake, chicken noodle soup, cookies, and more. Please keep in mind that none of these establishments have dedicated gluten-free kitchens, but they take steps to avoid cross contact during preparation. Here are this month's contenders in alphabetical order:
Bagel Boys Cafe - started offering Udi's Gluten Free plain bagels, blueberry muffins, and chocolate chip cookies last month. All of the products are individually wrapped and go from freezer to serving baskets (once thawed) without being open. The company takes preventing cross contact very seriously, so let them know if you have any questions.
Bartaco - opened the first of a total of three metro Atlanta locations at the Dixie Packing Co. building on Marietta Street on the Westside. Next, Bartaco will open in space previously occupied by Dunkin' Donuts in north Buckhead on Roswell Road late this year. The third, and for now, final Bartaco will open at the new 280 Elizabeth Street project in Inman Park, close to Bartaco's sibling concept, Barcelona. The restaurant has a 99% gluten-free menu full of freshly made juices, small plates, tamales, and lots of tacos. The fried oyster taco is my favorite because the oyster is nicely seasoned with a hint of cayenne and the batter is light and crispy.
Common Quarter - was named Top 100 Neighborhood Restos in America 2014 by Open Table. Their menu a number of gluten-free options, so be sure to ask your server for a rundown.
Dantanna's Tavern - is set to open its third location in Sandy Springs at 6649 Roswell Road in the Abernathy Square Shopping Center. The new space is 5900 square feet with 180 seats and is set to open this summer. The menu will feature Pure Knead's vegan and gluten-free buns.
Max's Wine Dive - opened its first Georgia location on July 1 at 77 12th in midtown. They have a robust gluten-friendly menu with gluten-free fried chicken as the star. I learned one of the founders has celiac disease, which is why they do gluten free right. All of the gluten-free orders come out on a special plate to eliminate confusion in the kitchen. I suggest trying the gluten-free fried chicken, the chicken noodle soup (noodles are made out of chicken), and the pulled pork stuffed peppers.
Osteria Mattone - I just learned they offer three types of gluten-free pasta and most of the menu items are gluten free and the ones that aren't can be easily modified. One of their employees has a child with a life threatening food allergy, so they know what it means to provide a safe meal.
Table & Main - has a number of gluten-free menu items daily and they are happy to accommodate diners with food intolerances. They have just updated their menu and here are their gluten-free summer specials: Vegetable plate with a selection of summer veggies and preparations, Potato salad with blue cheese and ham, Red snapper with carrot, parsnip, pea, shrimp bisque, pickled shrimp, and pastry chef Micki Kimberly's award-winning Bourbon butter pecan ice cream.
The Fresh Market - is expanding and will open a new location in Georgia, near Toco Hills. The store, expected to open in the summer of 2015, will be located at the intersection of North Druid Hills and Briarcliff Roads, in the former Loehmann's Plaza, which is being redeveloped and renamed Brighten Park. Once opened, it will be the company's 13th store in the state. On a recent trip to the Athens, GA location, I found Beecher's gluten-free mac and cheese and brown rice and kale gratin (co-packed), Tate's Bake Shop ginger zinger cookies, Steve's Ice Cream dairy-free ice cream, JJ's Cocomels, and more.
Tom+Chee - in Kennesaw offers grilled cheese sandwiches on Udi's Gluten Free bread and all of their tomato soups are free of gluten as well. One of their founders is gluten intolerant, so they take preventing cross contact very seriously. They use separate utensils, griddles, and ingredients for every gluten-free order. Staff always washes hands and change gloves before and after preparing a gluten-free order. The also offer Teese Vegan Cheese (also free of soy, and tree nuts). Their Alpharetta location is scheduled to open this fall.
Sprouts Farmers Market - opened its first location in Snellville at the end of June. One of the cool benefits of this store is their use of a West coast distributor, which means we will get access to new products much quicker. The produce takes center stage and it is very reasonably priced. When I visited the store, I found: Venice Bakery's gluten-free pizza crusts and Greek calzone, The Dunwoody Bakery's new line of mixes, American Gra-Fruitti's ever expanding line of products, Canyon Bakehouse's bread in a refrigerated case, Milton's new line of baked crackers, a bakery table full of gluten-free goodies, and more.

There was a lot of discussion when Travel + Leisure named Portland one of the worst dressed cities in America. When the article came out, Rob Caldwell and I got in a debate about it – though he did bring up a good point: could it be that we were on the list because it's cold six months out of the year? One would argue that it's near impossible to look chic in snow, slush, sleet and near freezing temps.
I plan on putting a stop to all that nonsense this winter, while I continue to chronicle people out in the snow that look as put-together as this Mainer. Half the battle of looking good in the cold are the right accessories. I adored her vintage fur topper (a gift from her hubby) and her oversized chunky knit scarf. And who says we need to be limited to just Bean Boots in the snow? When treated correctly, you can wear your favorite leather pair in any weather.

I'm using Vim to edit LaTeX files and it used to automatically highlight these words and was a great help. I also have
:set spell to highlight spelling mistakes and I had added
FIXME and
XXX to the spell-good list (
zg). Recently, I did something I can't recall/reproduce and broke this. I still get LaTeX keywords like
section, etc. highlighted, but not these ones.
Searching online only leads to people complaining about these words being highlighted and they turn it off by issuing
:syntax clear Todo. I have the exact opposite issue—I want it turned back on. Can someone clue me on how to proceed?

Account Deactivations Occurring This Week
This week Academic Computing will be deactivating accounts which are tagged as faculty, staff, or student and are not in any of the data files provided to Academic Computing from Peoplesoft extracts. This process is done 3 times a year to clear out accounts for past employees, graduates, and dropped out students. This batch will include Fall 2013 graduates as well as faculty and staff accounts. There are 4034 accounts pending deactivation.
You may have received one of four messages:
1. If you are faculty or staff and are notified that you aren't listed as current employees, contact HR if you believe this is incorrect. HR should verify that you have a current appointment in local Peoplesoft. Allowable exceptions (contact the Help Desk to have a ticket created) are if you only work 1 semester a year or if the you have retired and wish to retain your account. If you are a CAPP faculty, you should already be in the exceptions but may come up if you weren't on the list provided by HR. If you left for a different job (not retired) or were terminated, you are not eligible for any extension.
2. If you are a recently graduated student (Fall 2013), you may ask for an extension which will allow access to your account for an additional 6 months. The Help Desk can grant this exception immediately.
3. If you are a past graduated student (Prior to Fall 2013), you may have had an exception already and are no longer eligible for more.
4. If you are a student with no graduation record, you are not eligible for any extension with few exceptions: Military leave, and academic leave of absence. If you are taking "a semester off", you are required to re-apply and you are not eligible for email until they reapply.
In all cases for students, if you believe the deactivation is in error, you are advised to first contact your adviser to verify your academic records are correct. You must be currently enrolled or eligible to enroll for the current for following semester.
A reminder that there is no process to copy mail to an Alumni account or between accounts. If you wish to archive mail, you will need to set up a client and copy messages to local folders.

Old Colorado City Library will be closed Sat., July 2 - Thurs., July 7 due to floor refinishing.
SparkFun Tour Bringing DIY Electronics Instruction to the Library
SparkFun, a Boulder-based company that uses DIY electronics to create innovative, fun, and unique projects, is launching a National Tour in July that will bring its passion for teaching skills such as programming, soldering, and building circuits to Pikes Peak Library District.
From 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on July 13, teens in the Pikes Peak region are invited to come learn about wearable electronics (sometimes called e-textiles), one of the latest trends in the embedded electronics world. With the ProtoSnap LilyPad Development Board, teens will be introduced to sewable electronics through the LilyPad system, a technology developed through a partnership between SparkFun and MIT Professor Leah Buechley.
Attendees to the program will receive the instruction and supporting materials necessary to teach electronics on their own. PPLD asks that teens attending the program consider volunteering to become a mentor to teach younger library patrons how to use the LilyPad system.
What if I have no experience with electronics?
SparkFun's curriculum is designed such that even the most novice user can explore the world of electronics. By the end of the training, you will have a firm grasp on not only how to use the kit yourself, but how to teach it on your own.
Who will teach the workshops during the National Tour?
The tour is being led by the skilled team from the SparkFun Department of Education. Each workshop will be taught by highly-trained and knowledgeable members of the SparkFun staff.
Registration is limited to 30 teens, ages 12 - 18. Register online at ppld.org by clicking here. Questions? Contact IT Officer Carolyn Coulter at 719-531-6333, x1100.

Kurt Busch won the 65th Annual STP 500 at the Martinsville Speedway. Busch is the 6th different race winner for the 2014 season; bring his #41 Haas Automation Chevrolet to victory lane. Busch started 22nd for today's race, during the race that featured a record high of lead changes with 33, the previous was 31, set on April 3, 2011.
Kurt Busch breaks his winless streak of 83 races dating back to October 2,2011at Dover International Speedway. Busch has 25 wins in 477 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. This is his second win at Martinsville, his first victory dated back to the fall race in 2002.
"It's a dream come true to have Gene Haas call you and tell you, he wants you to drive," Kurt Busch said in victory lane. "He wants to go for trophies and wins; it's just an unbelievable feeling to deliver for Haas Automations."
The race started with a green race track after having rain the previous day, cancelling two practice session for the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers as well as the NASCAR Camping World Series Truck Race, the wind was cold with sustained winds of 20-25 mph and gust up to 55 mph, causing debris to fly around the track.
Busch led for 23 laps on 3 different occasions, battle Jimmie Johnson, the six-time Sprint Cup Champion, with 8 victories and an average finish of fifth, for the win. Johnson led the most laps, leading 296 laps on 11 different occasions. And when Johnson passed Busch for the lead with 17 laps to go it seemed as if win number 9 was closing in. But the #48 Lowe's Chevrolet slipped and Busch made his move and with 10 laps remaining held on to the top spot for the win.
"We were so on edge slipping and sliding. I gave him a little nudge to get inside him, and he came and put some pressure back on me, but it was so slight," Johnson said during post race interviews. "I think the lack of security in our own car kept us from feeling more racy and putting a bumper to someone or really getting inside someone aggressively.

How to Cheat at Windows Systems Administrators using Command line scripts teaches system administrators hundreds of powerful, time-saving tips for automating daily system administration tasks using Windows command line scripts.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft is trying to ease the administration jobs by adding more and more layers of graphical user interface (GUI) or configuration wizards (dialog boxes). While these 'wizards' are interactive and make the administrator's job easier, they are not always the most convenient and efficient way to accomplish the everyday administration tasks. These wizards are time consuming and, at times, may seem a bit confusing. The purpose of the book is to teach administrators how to use command-line scripts to complete everyday administration jobs, solve recurring network problems and at the same time improve their efficiency.
Provides system administrators with hundreds of tips, tricks, and scripts to complete administration tasks more quickly and efficiently.
No direct competition for a core tool for Windows administrators.
*Builds on success of other books in the series including How to Cheat at Managing Windows Small Business Server 2003 and How to Cheat at Managing Microsoft Operations Manager 2005.

Brand original scent
"In the Spirit Of" is an Original Scent inspired and created by Kelly Bensimon.
The scent has a sparkling top note of fresh cut lemon. The middle note accord is honeysuckle meeting with the lush, tropical note of tuberose, and accented by spicy carnation. It rests on a base accord of clean musk, with a hint of the sexiest vanilla that is at once beautiful, warm and deep -- just like the woman who inspired it!

U.K. Industry Tech Innovation Failing to Focus on Customers
U.K. industry is more concerned about innovating for its own employees than improving the service it offers its customers, according to a report published Wednesday.
According to analysts Accenture, when surveyed, nearly two thirds (65%) of executives from 273 organizations said it was more important to be innovative for employees, to help reduce costs, than it was to be innovative for customers (51%) to help drive sales.
"Most organizations felt that innovation was very important," said Andrew Poppleton, managing director of Accenture's U.K. and Ireland technology group. "What we found was surprising in terms of where they were focusing that effort."
"They were much more focused on driving innovation in their internal processes, improving employee productivity, developing more efficient collaboration among employees, than they were about getting better customer insight.
"My view is if you put a customer at the center of everything you do, most other things tend to fall into place."
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sohaib Abbasi, CEO of California-based Informatica Corp, said the function of business IT was shifting from handling transactions to managing interactions with customers. "In the world of interactions you are trying to anticipate and influence things that will lead to an eventual transaction." Not, it appears, in the U.K.
Mr. Poppleton said there was no one single factor that was at the heart of the U.K. executives' approach.
"There was some sense that people found it easier to innovate internally than on behalf of their customers, and there was some sense that companies want to do more but were struggling to understand what the next wave of business innovation will be."
But Mr. Poppleton said there was little evidence in the survey of companies really understanding the impact that technology can have on their business.
He said in financially constrained times, there is still a fear of failure. "Innovating in terms of changing your business model does take time. It was easier to use innovation to take cost out [of the business] and justify that innovation because you get clear business case return, rather than innovating to grow revenues where the business case may not be as robust."
Companies were also concerned about not wanting to be the first mover. "[They] were waiting to see what competitors would do, wait for technologies to become more mature before they move."
The companies surveyed believed that the key to enabling innovation include investment in skills and training (50%) as well as a collaborative culture (47%).
A lack of government investment (45%), lack of technology education in U.K. schools (41%) and lack of required skills (41%) were factors which contributed to the U.K. lagging behind other countries the survey found.
Respondents called for more investment in R&D (53%), more tax breaks for companies doing innovative research work (49%), more funding for universities conducting technology research (42%) and attracting more people in studying STEM subjects (41%).
273 business decision makers, at director level or above, completed an online interview during April 2013. Sectors covered: Finance/banking, retail, IT/telecoms, energy, oil and gas, mining and chemicals and other private sector groups.

PARK FOREST — Changing lives through theatre is the mission of the SPAA THEATRE (Speakers Publishers & Authors Association) Performing Arts Center located in Park Forest, IL. During a recent cable TV show interview on the Voices of Mass Discussion, the Rev. Dr. Michael Wilkins explained that, even though the center will not have enough resources to be all things to all people, he plans to give it a heck of a try.

The first production, "It's A Hard Knock Life, The Urban Musical" is already scheduled for June 14-22. With the opening being on Father's Day weekend, what could be better than barbequing with Dad during the early part of the day, and concluding the holiday with a nice comedic musical?

Most women would use Dec 4th and often refer to it as an angel-versary. Some ways to remember your baby include releasing balloons, planting a tree or creating an angel garden in your yard. I've also seen jewelry that will include the birthstones from when your baby became an angel and your due date. HTH!posted 10/15/2010 by sugar&spiceX3

Tight end Mychal Rivera of the Oakland Raiders has high hopes for himself and the Raiders for the 2014 season. Last year for his first year in the NFL, Rivera had 38 catches for 407 yards with four touchdowns and ranked fifth out of all rookies in reception.
It was reported on Saturday that Rivera is looking to do better than what he did his first year as a rookie. Coming out of Tennessee, Rivera also has plans to help the Raiders with the win-loss situation.
Last year, the Raiders had a 4-12 record, and tight end Rivera is looking to help the Silver and Black improve that record. He told the press that he has high expectations for himself. Last year, spectators and analysts were surprised at what Rivera did for the Raiders. Rivera has plans on surprising analysts again for the 2014 season.
Mychal Rivera has even expressed in trying to be one of the best in the NFL league. It's a high expectation, but so far, the kid has had an excellent first year. If he is consistent in 2014, he might have a chance at making his dream come true.
So far at camp, Mychal Rivera is doing excellent as well. Offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders Greg Olsen has given Rivera lots of props. In fact, Olsen has stated that Rivera is one of the most improved players on the squad.
If Rivera has improved more than last year, then that is some super good news for Raiders' fans. This is superb news because the Raiders do not have a good veteran tight end on the squad. Basically, the Raiders are riding on rookie Rivera to be the leading tight end. So far, so good!
Anyway, with Mychal Rivera feeling good about his himself and feeling good about the Raiders is the best thing the Oakland Raiders can want from a rookie. The best part about this is that Rivera stepped up as rookie last year. Hopefully, as a sophomore with the NFL, Rivera will continue his performance and confidence.

When the snow started flying, I had the urge to start baking. Of course, I was looking for something quick and easy to make during my sons nap time, but I couldn't decide between cookies or brownies. These brownie cookies were a genius product of my indecisiveness a few years ago and has become one my favorite ways to satisfy my craving for chewy, gooey, chocolate in a hurry. Brownies typically bake for 35-40 minutes and these delicious little bites bake up in a speedy 10 minutes!
White Chocolate Brownie Cookies
- 1 – 19oz box chocolate chunk brownie mix
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted and room temperature (or vegetable oil)
- 1/4 cup Kahlua (or strong brewed coffee)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (use your imagination, these are great with all kinds of chips. One of favorites is Andes mint chips)
Place brownie mix in large bowl. Add flour and mix. In separate small bowl, combine all wet ingredients, mix slightly and add to dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Add chips and stir again until they are evenly distributed. The batter will be thick. Drop by the rounded teaspoon full onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove them from the oven and let cool on a baking rack. Enjoy!

Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Glide pricing leaked
We've known that Rogers was getting ready to launch a new Samsung Galaxy S with a full physical QWERTY keyboard since September. The carrier will call it the Samsung Galaxy S Glide. At one point, we even got word that it would be out at the beginning of this month. That didn't happen, yet once again we're hearing that it will be in stores soon, possibly even next week.
Furthermore, the full pricing details for the Galaxy S Glide have been leaked. If you're interested, read on. If you have nothing against signing a new three-year contract, the Glide will cost you $149.99. A two-year contract requires a $449.99 upfront payment, and the phone is $474.99 with a one-year commitment. You'll also be able to buy it without signing a contract, in which case you'll have to shell out $549.99.
The Samsung Galaxy S Glide will have a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, an 8 MP rear camera with 1080p HD video recording, a 1.3 MP front-facing camera, 8 GB of built-in storage expandable via microSD cards, 21 Mbps HSDPA, and that physical sliding keyboard. It will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
If this device really is headed for a Rogers store near you pretty soon, then expect more leaks to follow shortly. Perhaps we may even see an official announcement in the next few days.

Lea Michele Addresses Diva Rumors & Kate Hudson "Feud," Talks Boobs & Boyfriend
Lea Michele has had enough of the tabloid rumor mill.
In the January issue of Marie Claire, the "Glee" star laments some of the gossip that has followed her, including the persistent allegation that she's a "diva."
"I am a very outspoken person, and if something makes me uncomfortable, you will know that it makes be uncomfortable, but that's as far as it goes," Michele tells the magazine. "I can assure you that [diva rumors] aren't real."
Michele also recalls a false rumor from earlier this year claiming a feud was brewing with "Glee" guest star Kate Hudson, which prompted the movie star herself to set the record straight.
Michele recalls Hudson calling and saying, "'I just heard about that, and it f**king sucks. I want you to know I think you're amazing.'"
"It was so classy of her to take a minute to [debunk it], even though we both knew it was the biggest piece of crap in the whole world," Michele tells Marie Claire. "I told her 'I love you, and I adore you. Thank you so much for creating a human moment with me.'"
RELATED – Lea Michele NOT Pregnant, Despite Rumor
The TV star admits that fabricated stories about her are "super-frustrating sometimes," and have led her to "fight back."
"But now I feel like, You can think what you want to think about me – that's OK," she explains. "I have the most amazing fans, friends, and family members who have stood by me, and I know that my cast and crew really enjoy working with me. That's all that matters."
Michele also opens up to the magazine about dating co-star Cory Monteith, and being unafraid to show off some of her, um, goods.
"I don't even remember a time when he wasn't my boyfriend," she says of Monteith, adding, "For the first time in my life, I feel really, really settled and happy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
With regard to putting her breasts on display in some cleavage-bearing get-ups, Michele jokes, "They were nervous to make their appearance but feel they've earned their place."
"So they asked if they could come out, and I was like, 'All right, you guys,'" she continues. "They definitely rose to the occasion, so I'm going to continue to give them more opportunities."
Michele's full Marie Claire interview hits newsstands on December 18.

Utilizing new developments in plastics engineering, Rollex Corporation has introduced Manchester vinyl siding, which boasts the darkest vinyl siding colors in the company's 50-year history.
The Manchester series includes four "premium dark colors": medium-brown Carmel; gray-blue Blue Granite, brown-gray Acorn, and medium-green Sage. In addition, Manchester comes in 14 light and mid-range colors.
The siding also has a newly designed nailing hem to aid contractors and installers.
"The homebuilding industries, particularly custom builders, remodelers, and architects, are demanding richer, darker colors in vinyl siding," says Jennifer Thompson, Rollex's marketing director. "Their customers want the low-maintenance of vinyl in a broader color spectrum. Recent advances in plastic resins allow us to meet that demand with confidence in the product's long-term durability."
Colorfastness and thermal stability have been the traditional obstacles to darker vinyl siding colors, Rollex says.
Manchester's dark-hued panels utilize a new, highly fade-resistant top-layer material from chemical giant BASF Corp. This capstock, an acrylic copolymer resin, won't "chalk" and provides 99.5 percent UV protection to the underlying vinyl siding, BASF says.
In addition, Rollex has developed a proprietary vinyl formulation that protects panels against warping from solar heat absorbed by dark colors.
Manchester vinyl siding has a subtle wood-grain texture with a low-gloss finish resembling exterior latex paint.
The siding offers Rollex's first "rollover"-style (folded-over) reinforced nailing hem, which effectively doubles the thickness of the vinyl around the fasteners for a secure installation. The vinyl itself is 0.044 inches (44 mils) thick, more than 25 per cent thicker than the Vinyl Siding Institute's requirement for certification.
Also new is a calibrated nail guide, laser imprinted along the hem, to help installers locate wall studs.
Manchester is available in three profiles: double-4", double- 41/2" Dutch lap, and double-5". The "legs" of the panel profiles project outwards 5/8-inch, providing rigidity for a straight appearance on the wall.

Well, isn't that an aptly timed release of the latest deity for the god-based MOBA SMITE. Following the recent unveiling of Sylla, Hi-Rez Studios has patch in Ullr – The Glorious One. Hailing from the Norse pantheon, Ullr is the nordic version of Artemis, the pantheon's Hunter deity. The stance-based Ullr is another ranged physical character that features high sustainability, making him far less squishy than his Greek counterpart.
The latest patch contains something unheard of in SMITE, potentially by any MOBA, at least by my ears. Hi-Rez Studios has refunded any player that purchased the Nightmare skin for Hades. The 400 Gem purchase has become his default skin – with updates to the Legendary and Golden skins to reflect this – yet not removed from the game. Any incoming player can purchase the Classic skin. Anyone with Hades is grandfathered in.
Aphrodite received a 3D model overhaul. Still as sexy as ever. Meanwhile Nemesis received the Golden treatment. In what could be the final patch before next week's launch tournament, Hi-Rez Studios focused its efforts on small balance changes, a lot of General updates and a variety of bug fixes.
Full patch notes after the cut. Oddly, the team must be quite busy, as there was no God Reveal video with the patch notes. Continue Reading

Staff and wire reports
More Ohioans are carrying concealed guns and with fewer restrictions 10 years after the state began allowing concealed carry guns.
Anti-gun advocates predicted an increase in violence. While gun-related deaths have increased over the decade, largely caused by more suicides, crime overall has decreased, according to state health department and the FBI's Crime in the United States records.
Research conducted on concealed carry laws' effects on crime rates nationwide has been mixed.
One clear change over the past decade has been a reduction in Ohio restrictions involving concealed handguns. They earlier couldn't be carried in cars, purses and bags. License renewals were required every four years along with a second competency test. Concealed carry guns weren't allowed in bars or public parking lots, and local governments could implement their own, more restrictive licensing rules.
Those restrictions have since been lifted. Gun advocates say changes were needed to get rid of rules that were too restrictive, while those opposing concealed carry say reduced restrictions encroach on the freedoms of Ohioans who don't carry hidden guns.
The number of new concealed carry permits issued to Ohioans has increased dramatically since the law went into effect in 2004, according to records maintained by the Ohio Attorney General.
That first year, sheriff's offices across the state issued 7,063 permits. That number doubled the next year, but tapered off until 2008, when the total of new permits jumped to 33,864.
In addition, 31,319 renewals were issued in 2008 — the first year for renewals — for a combined 65,183 licenses.
The total number of new and renewed licenses again eased until 2012, which saw a jump to 76,810.
Last year shattered that record with 96,972 new licenses and 48,370 renewals for a total of 145,342 licenses.
Since 2004, sheriff's offices have issued more than 420,000 new concealed handgun licenses, according to annual attorney general's office reports. That represents about 5 percent of the state's adult population, assuming everyone renewed licenses and none were revoked.
The biggest remaining restriction is "no gun zones," the Mansfield News Journal reported.
"A gun-free zone is a terrible thing," said Jim Irvine," chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association.
He said criminals will target gun-free zones because they know they won't be stopped by a person with a gun.
Irvine said he doesn't support carrying concealed weapons in restricted areas such as prisons, courtrooms and airports, but believes most spaces should be fair game. But other off-limit areas don't make sense, he said. You can drop your child off at school while carrying a concealed handgun in your vehicle, but if the child forgets a lunchbox, driving back into the school zone violates Ohio law. A bill before the General Assembly would change that.
"That's a pretty important fix there," Irvine said.
Toby Hoover, founder of the anti-gun Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, disagrees with eliminating gun-free zones. She says such zones give business owners the right to restrict firearm access on their property and give other citizens peace of mind.
She also would like to see Ohio follow some other states in requiring individuals to prove they need a concealed carry license.
"You would have to have a reason to get one — if you are endangered in your job or for personal circumstances, feared for your life," she said. "Not just anyone could get one."

Nov. 29, 2012
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Washington improved to 5-1, going out on the road to knock off Portland, 64-44. Washington used stifling first-half defense and Jazmine Davis' hot hand in the second half to hold off the Pilots on Thursday night at the Chiles Center.
Davis tied a career high, scorings 28 points, including 19 in the second half to pace the Huskies. Aminah Williams continued to crash the boards, finishing with a career-best 17 rebounds.
Early on, Washington used its defense to build a first-half lead. The Huskies led 13-3 halfway through the period, despite shooting just 25 percent in the early going. Kristi Kingma knocked down a three to give the Dawgs a double-digit lead that it would never relinquish.
The Huskies continued to suffocate the Portland offense, but could not get much going at their own end. The Dawgs led 25-9 at the half, despite just 29.4 percent shooting. Washington held Portland to just 3-25 (12 percent) shooting and forced 14 turnovers in the half. The nine points scored by Portland in the half was a school record for futility.
Portland got the offense going in the second half, scoring 11 points in the first three and a half minutes and eventually pulling back within 10. However, the Pilots would get no closer as Jazmine Davis began to get it going at the offensive end.
Davis used her speed to get into the lane and finish near the basket. The sophomore was 8-14 in the half and also knocked down three 3-pointers. As a team, Washington shot 51.4 percent in the half, leading to a season-best 39 points for a period.
The Huskies closed strong, finishing on a 13-4 run over the final 6:16 to win by 20.
Joining Davis in double figures were Kristi Kingma and Mercedes Wetmore. Kingma had 13, including three 3's, while Wetmore added 11 and a team-best five assists.
Washington also got nice contributions from its short bench as Jeneva Anderson had a career-best four steals, while Kassia Fortier saw her most extended playing time and finished with two points and three rebounds.
Washington now returns home for three-straight home games over the next couple of weeks. The Dawgs will host San Diego State on December 5, at 7 p.m., before facing UC Santa Barbara and Idaho on back-to-back nights in mid-December.

On Wednesday, March 26 Deadline broke the news that "Scandal" actor Columbus Short was arrested and charged with one count of felony battery with serious bodily harm, which is allegedly from a fight the actor was involved in at a bar in Los Angeles last week. A warrant was issued for Short's arrest earlier today by the Claremont Police Department after formal charges were filed yesterday.
The alleged altercation happened at a restaurant in West Los Angeles on March 15. The two men got involved in a fight after the other man insulted Short's wife. The victim was knocked out on the scene and required medical attention. After Short's arrest, the actor posted bail for fifty thousand dollars and was released, but will be arraigned on the charges within the next month.
Short currently stars as lawyer Harrison Wright on the ABC drama "Scandal," and has been a series regular since the pilot episode. Filming for the current season is wrapping up this week, but Short's arrest could affect future seasons. Short faces a maximum of four years in prison, and is also currently facing a misdemeanor battery charge for hitting his wife last month.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
A little older, but far too important to be forsaken is the first longplayer by Illinois-based ION VEIN. After a quite unnecessary intro the band unleashes best US Metal upon the listener.
Very melodic, with a good, mid-pitched singer, who really has class. Heavy passages intertwine with calmer, acoustic parts, there is a slight Prog-touch evident throughout the album, but it never disrupts the flow. The songs all convince through good melody-lines and catchy choruses.
Who likes FATES WARNING in their "Parallels"-era, should also get along with ION VEIN very well. Because the style of "Beyond Tomorrow" could well be compared to Jim Matheos & co. in this time. OK, the playing time of 35 minutes is not really luxurious, but hey, there are no fillers for that. And you just have to support killer-bands like ION VEIN.
Great album, which won't collect dust in your CD-shelf. You can get this gem from Hellion Records and Rising Sun! To contact the masters themselves you can get in touch with them at: ION VEIN, P.O. BOX 7911, Hoffman Estates, Illinois 60195, USA.

Daily Inspiration: How to Consistently Find Motivation Throughout Your Day
Motivation is among the most essential assets an individual can have on the way to self-improvement. It really is something you will want each and every day. Without having motivation, your feelings of personal development will dissolve and fade very quickly. You will end up searching for reasons, or rather justifications, not to carry on with your quest to self-improvement. You do not want to become a person who has run out of motivation in life.
To prevent yourself from getting demotivated and consistently find motivation throughout your day, here are some tips to keep in mind:
• Jot down your goals according to what you truly want in your life. Establish small, attainable goals, and look at your objectives daily to help remind yourself of what you're seeking to achieve. Put in writing a listing of daily tasks which can help you accomplish your goals. If you wish to slim down, prepare a workout program, calculate calories or look for a workout buddy. Documenting your goals is definitely the initial step, but you have to take action to remain inspired.
• Consistently be in the company of individuals who give you support and will help keep you motivated. Negative persons will only bring you down as well as rapidly dissipate your sense of purpose. Select your friends smartly and only share your objectives with individuals who provide you with the all-important love and support.
• Build a dream board embellished with photos that represent your goals. Hold a bulletin board over your office or even in your room. Add images from magazines or pictures that really encourage you to the board. Place your list of goals here to help you conveniently remember to read it on a daily basis. If you are having trouble with this step, you can see examples here!
• Let's say that you're a writer who desires to finish your book. How could you even finish one chapter to another if there are a lot of distractions all around you such as television, friends and family chattering or perhaps the temptation to aimlessly browse the web. To ensure that you to stay adequately motivated, ensure that you stay away from just about any distractions.
• Keep working at it and stay patient. Even the most self-motivated person can sometimes lose his passion and fall behind. Have patience with yourself whenever you run into a setback. Have a break and then go back to the task at hand.

Smoke-Free Parks and Rec Centers
On May 23, 2011, Mayor Michael Nutter signed an executive order that made recreation centers in Philadelphia 100% smoke-free. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on recreation center property, including playgrounds, ball fields, courts, parking lots, lawns, and pool areas.
On April 29, 2014, Mayor Nutter signed a second executive order that expanded smoke-free recreation spaces to include all City-owned parks.
Both rules are being implemented by the Philadelphia Departments of Parks & Recreation
and Public Health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of smoke-free parks and recreation centers to children?
Reducing children's exposure to adults who smoke.
- Tens of thousands of children use Philadelphia's parks and recreation centers every year. Children are more likely to smoke if they see others smoking, especially adults. These policies reduce children's exposure to watching adults smoke and reinforce anti-smoking norms in our community.
Protecting children and adults from exposure to secondhand smoke.
- According to the US Surgeon General, there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
- When people inhale cigarette smoke, either directly or secondhand, they are inhaling more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of these chemicals are hazardous and at least 69 are known to cause cancer.
- Outdoor secondhand smoke is often an irritant to non-smokers and can be both an acute and chronic health hazard to some individuals.
How do smoke-free parks and recreation centers help the environment?
Providing a cleaner environment by reducing littered cigarette butts.
- Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world. Smoke-free policies help to reduce litter, ease sanitation demands, and lower the risk of fire.
What are the benefits for smokers?
Reducing smoking rates and promoting quit attempts among smokers.
- Public smoke-free policies have been shown to give smokers additional motivation and support to quit.
To report a smoking complaint in City-owned parks or rec centers, please contact us
at 215-685-5681.
If you are a Recreation Center Manager and would like to request smoke-free signs
(see below) or other education materials, please contact Amna Rizvi.

- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen, thawed, chopped (see Tip)
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apple, such as Granny Smith (about 1 large)
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice or apple juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, slightly softened
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup low-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- To prepare topping: Whisk brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a medium nonreactive saucepan (see Note) until combined. Stir in cranberries, apple and juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the berries soften, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- To prepare cake: Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat oil, butter and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, first on medium speed, then on medium-high, until well combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until the mixture is light in color and well blended. Add egg and beat until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute longer. With the mixer on low speed, beat in half the flour mixture until just incorporated. Gradually beat in milk and vanilla until just incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat until a smooth batter forms, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges. Spread the topping in an even layer over the batter; do not stir.
- Bake the cake on the middle rack until the top is puffed in places and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (the fruit topping will still be moist), 40 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top. Transfer the pan to a wire rack; let stand until cooled to warm, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan sides and cut the cake into wedges.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 days. | Equipment: 9-inch springform pan
- Tip: To make quick work of chopping cranberries, place whole berries in a food processor and pulse a few times until the berries are coarsely chopped.
- Note: A nonreactive pan—stainless steel, enamel-coated or glass—is necessary when cooking acidic foods, such as tomato or lemon, to prevent the food from reacting with the pan. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor in acidic foods.

We finish this little exercise in
killing time forecasting with a look at the Harrisburg Senators.
But first, let's review my picks for last year's 2013 AA squad (mistakes in red, wrong roles in blue, not quite right in purple):
CA – Jeff Howell
1B – Matt Skole
2B – Ricky Hague
SS – Jason Martinson
3B – Anthony Rendon
OF – Destin Hood
OF – Brian Goodwin
OF – Chris Rahl
DH/BIF – Justin Bloxom
BCA – Kris Watts
BIF – Sean Nicol
BIF – Francisco Soriano
BOF – Jimmy Van Ostrand
Even if you count my not-quite-right as wrong (Van Ostrand spent 76 of his 97 games at Harrisburg, but began the season in Syracuse), I got 9 out 13 right on making the team. If you cut me some slack, that's the same success rate for how these guys were used. That's quite a bit better than in 2012 where I only got six right without hedging (which I'll have do this year, too, but for a much more valid reason).
This year's squad won't have quite the luster of three BA Top 10 players in the field as they did a year ago, but that should be more than offset by having (spoiler alert!) two Top 10 pitchers (okay, maybe not). Without further vamping, here's my guess at the 2014 Senators:
CA – Adrian Nieto or Brian Jeroloman
1B – Matt Skole
2B – Ricky Hague
SS – Jason Martinson
3B – Cutter Dykstra
OF – Destin Hood
OF – Michael Taylor
OF – Theo Bowe
DH/1B – Kevin Keyes
BCA – Jeroloman or Cole Leonida
BIF – Adrian Sanchez
BIF – Sean Nicol
BOF – Caleb Ramsey
As you can see, I'm waffling at the catcher slots because, historically, there's a very good chance that Nieto will be returned to Washington. And even Jeroloman isn't a sure thing with all the backup catchers the Nats have been stockpiling. I'm presuming Sandy Leon will finally begin the season at AAA (which I won't pick because it's just too unpredictable) but it's not unfathomable for him to come back to City Island, which is my pick (unfortunately, for their sakes) for five players.
Otherwise, I'm fairly confident Brian Goodwin and Steven Souza will move up another level. But for any other position player, I don't have the answer to "What about __________?" Remember, this is a guessing game.
Unfortunately, as we saw yesterday in the comments, it's also a realization that some players may have hit the end of their road. Once I get to the bench, it's trying to divine which of last year's bench guys will hang it up or go to Syrcause and which of the guys from Potomac will move up but shift into backup roles. The alternatives are being sent to XST,
hidden placed on the DL (often the same thing) or getting released.
As always, hope folks enjoyed this little diversion. Judging by the Twitter reaction to the signing of an aging middle reliever, it's obvious that folks can no longer stand to wait for Spring Training to begin.
3 Responses to "Guessing The Rosters, Part Three"
Boy, everytime I see our minor league position players, I think we have the worst system in baseball. Then comes the pitching and I am much more encouraged.
Well, Soriano did play 10 games for Harrisburg. If he comes back to Potomac this year that would tie him with Brian Peacock for 5 years with the PNats. Always thought these loyal organizational soldiers ought to get some kind of reward for service. Agree with the adage that you 'make them tear that uniform off your back'. For Peacock, the dream ended after 8 years in the minors.
It's almost impossible to forecast catching at this level until we know when & if Nieto comes back.

AMD promotes its APU chips as green
Or maybe greenwash
CHIP DESIGNER AMD has announced that its E-350 Accelerated Processing Unit demonstrates a significant reduction in the overall product's "carbon footprint".
A study funded by AMD and carried out by an MBA student came to a faintly scientific sounding conclusion that Chimpzilla's E-350, also known as Zacate, is very green. More green, that is, than the previous generation products featuring an AMD Athlon Neo II dual core processor and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 graphics processor.
The student worked with Netimpact, an organisation that says it is "a network of more than 20,000 new generation leaders committed to using the power of business to improve the world".
Netimpact is funded by Chevron, Exxonmobile, Dow chemicals and other equally environmentally conscious companies, so we can take a pretty good guess at how it wants to "improve" the world.
AMD's statement on this bit of environmentally aware work said, "The findings showed that the AMD Fusion APU reference system generated 40.2kg CO2e of [Green House Gas] GHG emissions compared to 67.4kg CO2e of GHG emissions for the previous generation products - a 40.3 [per cent] reduction in overall GHG emissions associated with the APU product over its estimated lifetime."
The key words here are "estimated lifetime" and "reference system". The study apparently didn't include the power, sorry "carbon footprint", required for making the chips, possibly because those figures would likely dwarf their power consumption over their lifetimes. But at least it all sounds good.
AMD claims Zacate's lower carbon footprint is due to the integration of the computing and graphics processors onto a single piece of silicon. It says this eliminates the chip-to-chip linkage between CPU and GPU that can add latency to memory operations and reduce power efficiency. We don't doubt that this is true, and it even seems intuitively obvious.
Zacate, a single-chip processor that combines a dual-core CPU with a DirectX11 discrete graphics processing unit, is rated at 18W thermal design power while its sister APU. Ontario, is rated at 9W. One imagines that the green credentials of Ontario will be even more fantastic. We can't wait for Netimpact to tell us how fantastically green it is.
Silicon foundries and chip fabs still use monstrous quantities of electricity, but for those who care about how green their computers are, buying newer chip designs that use less power might help them feel more virtuous. µ
