Students to get cooking lessons using their own garden produce
Cypress Inn food truck to visit University Place, Woodland Forrest Elementary this week
Published: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 12:12 a.m.
Students at University Place and Woodland Forrest elementary schools already know how to grow their own food, manage vegetable gardens, harvest crops and sell what they've grown as a result of a partnership with the Druid City Garden Project.
But what they don't know is the wide assortment of dishes that can be created with their crops because they don't know how to cook.
That will change starting today.
From 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today and from 8:15 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, University Place and Woodland Forrest students will learn how to cook their harvest in a Cypress Inn food truck.
"This is a great educational opportunity for them," said Lindsay Turner, executive director of the Druid City Garden Project, which is partnering with Cypress Inn for the cooking lessons.
"Cypress Inn had been trying to figure out a way to use their truck. The lesson we designed will involve getting all the kids at different stations so they'll have an opportunity to harvest the produce, prepare it and cook it with Cypress Inn staff guiding them."
Using vegetables they've grown all semester and that they'll harvest minutes before cooking, students will get to prepare and eat burritos filled with Hoppin' John, a black-eyed peas and rice dish, and wrapped with collard greens. Also, mixed greens salad with garden herb vinaigrette, shaved radishes and Moroccan mint tea.
The food is only for students and will not be for sale. But each student will be given a recipe card with instructions on how they can make the meal at home.
"We hope getting the kids into this kind of professional cooking environment will spark their excitement to learn how to cook on their own," said Shannon Corbell, event coordinator for Cypress Inn.
"Cypress Inn donates to several local and international nonprofit organizations, but we have always wanted to focus our attention on collaborating with a local group that combines local fresh food and education," she said. "We hope by participating in the Druid City Garden Project we can help kids appreciate fresh, healthy and locally grown produce and hopefully get kids to shy away from commercially produced junk food."
The food truck is 24 feet long and equipped with
commercial-grade ovens, stoves, grills and coolers.
Students will be employing what they've learned in math to portion the recipes, and they'll be rewarded with a "delicious return on investment," Turner said.
The Druid City Garden Project is a nonprofit that uses school gardens, farm stands and educational programs to help communities throughout Alabama learn to grow their own food, eat locally and create healthy and sustainable food sources.

Intel CEO to Retire: Analysts Caught By Surprise
The surprise retirement announcement by Intel CEO Paul Otellini has caught Wall Street by surprise.
Otellini, who has spent nearly 40 years at the chip maker and took the CEO position in 2005, will step down as chief executive in May. Otellini is 62 years old.
As the Journal reports, CEOs of Silicon Valley chip makers typically stay on the job until reaching the age of 65, meaning Otellini's exit will come earlier than expected.
Analysts say Intel's search for a successor could create another headwind for the stock price. Shares reversed earlier gains and recently rose 1% to $20.40. The stock is down 16% this year, the second-worst performing Dow component.
Here's a roundup of analyst commentary immediately after Intel's announcement this morning (MarketBeat's emphasis included):
More In Technology
- Microsoft Shares Whacked, But Some Good News Emerges
- Foursquare's Financing: Valuation Still a Question Mark
- Options Traders Position for Microsoft Rally Pushing Higher
- Surging Best Buy Shares Get Another Shot of Adrenaline
- RIM Short Sellers Pile In Ahead of Earnings
- 'Disappointing' BlackBerry Launch Spurs Goldman Downgrade
RBC Capital Markets: "Otellini's retirement is yet another challenge Intel has to fight through in the near-term. However, his eventual departure is more likely a sign that Intel's focus could increasingly shift outside of the traditional PC market. While Otellini has done a commendable job as CEO for the past 7 years…the company is feeling the pressure of 1) headwinds in its core PC market and 2) being unable to capture a sizable portion of the mobile SoC market (dominated by ARM) after ~5 years of development efforts. Thus a shift in leadership could be welcome news to investors as Intel could be in greater position to broaden its portfolio into higher growth markets. In our view, we believe the company could be better-served choosing a successor with a product/sales focus in-order to broaden and deepen customer relationships vs. a candidate with a technical/manufacturing focus."
PiperJaffray: "Intel's CEO of eight years is leaving the company amidst what we see as difficult challenges for the company in the post-PC era. While Intel's manufacturing capability is currently second to none, Samsung is catching up. Increasingly, new designs favor less expensive process technology, not high performance transistors used in PC CPUs. In the mobile era, customers such as Google Facebook and Apple are designing their own mobile processors and server processors. As the PC market has stagnated, Intel has tried to pivot to mobile and increasingly to foundry. However, Intel has had very limited success in mobile and Intel's prices for foundry wafers are 3x that of TSMC's. The new CEO will also have numerous internal conflicts to resolve while moving the company forward. Although Otellini's departure is billed as a retirement, in many cases it is not a positive sign when a CEO leaves."
Sterne Agee: "Intel's management changes have been few and far between, so with CEO Otellini retiring here with new Win8 OS and Ultrabooks launching, this event could point to bigger challenges in PC. INTC announced that its CEO Paul Otellini is retiring in May 2013 after 8 years. INTC has not announced a new CEO yet as it looks for a replacement both within and outside the company. CEO Paul Otellini will continue as an advisor to management. INTC has a deep management bench with Sean Maloney, who heads up Intel China, the company's fastest growing market for PCs and new server markets. But it might also be an opportunity to do a reboot with new blood from outside. There could be mixed reactions from investors with the challenges in PCs-Mobile, and especially the challenge of getting Ultrabooks to a 40% mix of PCs exiting 2012, mixed with opportunity with the changes at the top."

Secure Everything, The Mac Way.
Unlike some password managers that focus exclusively on one thing - managing passwords, AllSecure makes it possible to encrypt and securely store anything on your Mac. A host of item types are built-in to get you started:
- Passwords / Web Login
- Bank Account
- Credit Card
- Serial Number
- Calling Card
- Frequent Flyer Information
- Insurance Information
- Secure Note
- Wireless Key
Keychain, built into Mac OS X for password and certificate management, uses the aging Triple DES encryption algorithm. AllSecure's 256-bit AES encryption is not only more secure, it's also nearly six times faster than Keychain. Compare Triple DES with a 64-bit block size and 168-bit key length to AllSecure's AES-256 implementation with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit key length. If you need security, you need AllSecure.

This was my secured storage app before i bought 1Password.
Was really good but lack of development has destroyed it. I would recommend not buying until they shape up
Correction: in my review, I stated that this software is too expensive. That's because the listed price on iusethis is $39. In fact, the price is $24.95. A good deal; I've submitted the proper price, so hopefully the listing will reflect that soon.
Much more lightweight - but still nicely designed and very functional - than 1Password, which (as of version 3.0) seems to be on the verge of bloatware, and has also proven to be unstable on my Safari 4.x/Snow Leopard installation.
I like that you do the entries manually, as it keeps annoyances while working low.
Not good?
- Too expensive, by far, IMHO. Should offer a sidegrade for 1P users.
- Should offer more views (list, icon, detail) of passwords.
- Should allow you to launch a site and fill password with a simple command or click. Right now, as far as I can see, it takes two (click on the item to open it, then on the little arrow by the site's web address.)
- Should be able to import keychains and maybe 1P databases.
Still, I'm using it and very pleased.
The only thing it lacks is proper browser integration, right now if you want it to fill a login you have to do it from the app itself.
I absolutely adore the interface! An awesome app and a great alternative to 1Password. One of the best Macintosh apps ever!

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Made with Chinese green tea, Vibrance is a rich green tea combined with refreshing peppermint, known for its calming effect on the stomach and its antispasmodic action. Vitamins infuse the system as the Vibrance green tea is fortified with nourishing, cleansing mint.
Loose tea in 4 oz. bag
Green Tea (camellia sinensis), Peppermint (mentha piperita)
Tightly rolled pellets of green tea, dried mint
Cool, clean mint
Light green liquor
Round and refreshing body with lively mint
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 170F-180F or in the alternative heat to a boil and let sit for 1-2 minutes. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one level tablespoon of loose green tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Iced Tea ::
A stronger brew is required for iced tea than for hot tea because of ice's dilution action. Prepare a tea concetrate as follows:
Single Serving
For a single serving, prepare as for hot tea, but use two teaspoons of loose tea per 12 ounces of water and after brewing pour over ice.
Large Serving
1. For a larger serving, prepare a iced tea concentrate by bringing one quart of cold water to a rolling boil in a tea kettle.
2. Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea.
3. Steep 5 minutes or to desired strength.
4. To serve immediately, pour over ice in a tall glass, or add another quart of cold water to the concentrate and chill in refrigerator.

Health Benefits
Green Tea
Studies on black or green tea leaf have demonstrated that they may have positive effects in the areas of cardiovascular health, osteoporosis, obesity, and bowel conditions. Tea may also have psychological and neurological effects, such as increases in alertness and information processing, that are not due to caffeine but a chemical (theanine) in the tea leaves.
Internally, peppermint has an antispasmodic action, with a calming effect on the stomach and intestinal tract. As a tea, extract, or in a capsule, peppermint is useful for indigestion, cramp-like discomfort of the upper gastrointestinal and bile duct, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammation or irritation of the gums.
Soothe yourself with a cup of Vibrance, served hot with honey. Serve this over ice as a refreshing and light iced tea, perfect for warm afternoons. It pairs well with savory and spicy foods, or with fruit.

Your support helps patients like Colette Kramer overcome conditions that have plagued them for years and stumped other doctors.
As a pediatric nurse practitioner and an instructor at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, Colette was well equipped to deal with her diabetes, asthma, and immune deficiencies. She was active, energetic, and outgoing. But then, Colette's asthma got worse. She began to develop serious infections.
Specialists prescribed higher and higher doses of steroids, but nothing helped. She was hospitalized several times and had to quit her job.
"I don't know what else to do," her doctor admitted. "Why don't you go to National Jewish Health?"
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, National Jewish Health is the nation's leading respiratory hospital. Our world-leading researchers and doctors routinely crack even the toughest cases.
One of those doctors is David Beuther, MD. He met with Colette for over an hour. He attempted a bronchoscopy, a diagnostic procedure in which a tiny camera is inserted into the airway. However, Colette's throat was so constricted, the bronchoscopy was impossible. But that was the clue Dr. Beuther needed to diagnose Colette's underlying problem: not asthma, but tracheobronchomalacia—a condition in which the cartilage of the throat is too weak to keep the airway open. Not only was Colette's own throat blocking her breathing and creating asthma-like symptoms, it was also trapping infections, leading to her repeated hospitalizations.
"Within 10 minutes, I was talking to Dr. Ali Musani," Colette recalls. An expert in minimally-invasive procedures, Dr. Musani put a temporary stent in Colette's airway, allowing her to breathe more freely than she had in years.
Not long afterwards, a third National Jewish Health expert, David Mitchell, MD, repaired Colette's airway.
Today, Colette is happy and active again. "I can walk two miles a day," she reports. "I'm out of the vicious cycle that so affected my life."
"Dr. Beuther left no stone unturned in seeking an answer to my problem," she continues. "All the doctors, nurses, and technicians at National Jewish Health pay incredible attention to detail.
"I've worked in nursing since the 1980s," Colette says. "The care at National Jewish Health is how medicine ought to be."

The Bay Area finally got some rain on Sunday, but not nearly enough to spark hopes of a string of powerful storms swooping down from Alaska -- just like old times -- or the end of the drought.
"Winter finally arrived," said Steve Anderson, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Monterey. "But I would call this weekend's storm 'weak.' "
Although dark clouds floated above the region for most of a cold, wintry day, they dropped little water on parched parks, brown hillsides and thirsty gardens. By 5 p.m., most of the Peninsula got less than a half-inch of rain, the East Bay about a quarter-inch. San Jose registered a paltry 0.08 inch.
"It didn't quite get over the mountains for you," Anderson said.
The wettest spot was San Francisco International Airport, which got 0.85 inch of rain, even more than coastal areas.
The showers made barely a dent in the drought. San Jose now has gotten 1.76 inches of rain since July 1. The normal rainfall is 8.21 inches.
Oakland has received 2.45 inches of rain. Normally it receives 11.78 inches.
Sunday's rain followed Wednesday's light rainfall -- the first time the Bay Area had measurable rain in 53 days.
Still, as the weather service's website put it: "We're at the point of taking any precipitation we can get."
More than a few people who were out and about agreed, but nobody was fooled.
"For anyone who planted cool-season crops, this is a blessing," said Laramie Trevino, a master gardener trained by UC Santa Cruz who was in San Jose and Palo Alto on Sunday. "But we need consistent rain."
Soon after the light rain stopped in the early afternoon, Lino Costillos walked his two small dogs, Samurai and Ninja, around the city's municipal rose garden.
"I don't see the end of the drought happening," Costillos said, who added that he and his wife have already started cutting back on water use at their Rose Garden neighborhood home. "We actually haven't watered our plants in two weeks, but they'll survive."
Weather forecaster Anderson said the next few days will be cooler, with daytime temperatures in the 50s throughout the region and overnight lows ranging from 35 to 45 degrees. He said another weak storm could pass through Wednesday or Thursday and drop an equally small amount of rain. But it could easily fizzle out, too. But next weekend, he said, could bring a wetter storm.
Basically, the powerful weather formation behind the drought hasn't budged. The "Ridiculously Resilient Ridge" still rules.
That's what some meteorologists call the mass of high-pressure air that has been blocking Pacific winter storms from hitting the West Coast from Washington to Baja California.
Anderson said Sunday's storm did not take on the ridge mano a mano.
Most Pacific storms, he said, come down from Alaska over the ocean and then slam into California with full force directly from the west. The high-pressure ridge parked itself in December 2012 and continues to deflecting those storms north and toward the Midwest.
Sunday's storm "just came sliding down the coast," not carrying enough moisture or momentum to pack the punch of a respectable Pacific storm. The Sierra Nevada was barely dusted on Sunday.
In what appears to be a growing trend, another group prayed for rain Sunday. The San Juan Intertribal Council performed Native American rain dances in San Juan Bautista for the third Sunday in a row, as light fell.
The group has vowed to dance every Sunday until the rain relieves the drought. Less than a tenth of an inch of rain was recorded in the area Sunday.
Still, just as any amount of rain can be counted as a blessing these days, any amount of rain can spoil weekend plans.
The weather cut into sales at area farmers' markets, as customers were reluctant to brave the rain and 50-degree air. Vendors were left with piles of unsold produce -- and mixed feelings.
"It was kind of bad timing," said Bob Comstock, who was selling organic tofu at the Mountain View Farmers' Market.
Nearby, Marsha Habib of Hollister's Oya Organics scooped up bundles of rainbow chard and other greens left at closing time.
"We need the rain in order to have enough water to grow our crop," she said, but she hadn't anticipated the effect of the overnight storm that lingered through the morning.
"We shouldn't have harvested as much," said Habib, whose farm is named after a Yoruba weather spirit whose dancing brings on storms.
"We've been trying to get her to dance all season," Habib said.
Even though it was light in moisture, the storm was substantial enough to keep skies cloudy all day. So Punxsutawney Phil, if he had migrated west, would not have seen his shadow.
Does that predict an imminent end to our so-called winter?
Anderson wasn't buying it.
"We don't have conference calls with the ground hog," he said.

A Monroe City woman sustained minor injuries in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday morning in Ralls County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol the mishap happened at 8:20 a.m. on eastbound U.S. 36 two miles east of Monroe City.
A 2004 Chevrolet Impala operated by 58-year-old Patricia J. Swon of Monroe City began to slide on the frost-covered highway and slid into the trailer of a 1997 Freightliner driven by John E. Hernandez-Corea, 34, of Kansas City, Kan.
Swon, who was wearing a safety device, was taken by ambulance to Hannibal Regional Hospital.

BALTIMORE -- Right from the start, a horse trained by one not so over-the-hill Hall of Famer and ridden by another took control of the Preakness. The result: a huge upset and the end of any hopes for a Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes.
Thanks to Oxbow's wire-to-wire win Saturday over Kentucky Derby winner Orb, trainer D. Wayne Lukas and jockey Gary Stevens have themselves another classic to add to their stellar résumés.
"I get paid to spoil dreams," the 77-year-old Lukas said after his record 14th win in a Triple Crown race.
Stevens, who ended his retirement in January, won his third Preakness to go along with three victories in the Derby and three in the Belmont.
"At 50 years old, after seven years retirement, it doesn't get any better than this," Stevens said. "It's even more special winning it for Wayne Lukas and his team."
Lukas put Stevens on his first Triple Crown race winner -- when the rider guided the filly Winning Colors to victory in the 1988 Derby. Stevens last won a Triple Crown race in 2001, taking the Belmont aboard Point Given.
"He supported me," Stevens said. "He was the first guy to call me up and said 'I'm going to have a colt for you. His name is Oxbow.' "
Orb was unable to find his rhythm after starting from the No. 1 post and never challenged in finishing fourth.
"After we passed the half mile, he had a hard time keeping up, and I kind of worried a little bit," Orb's jockey Joel Rosario said. "He just kind of steadied after that. He always runs hard, but today he never took off."
Orb's loss extends the Triple Crown drought to 36 years since Affirmed became the 11th horse to sweep the races in 1978. Lukas won his sixth Preakness to move one behind Robert Wyndham Walden for most wins in the second leg of the Triple Crown. The last Triple Crown race Lukas won was the 2000 Belmont with Commendable. Before that, he was a regular in the winner's circle after classic races. At one point, he ran off six in a row -- from the 1994 Preakness through the 1996 Derby. He also was the first to send out five horses in one Derby and won it with Grindstone in 1996.
Oxbow, sent off at odds of 15-1, took charge from the start out of the No. 6 post and beat Itsmyluckyday by 13/4 lengths. Mylute, with Rosie Napravnik bidding to become the first female to win the Preakness, was third, followed by Orb, Goldencents, Departing, Will Take Charge, Govenor Charlie and Titletown Five.
Oxbow covered the 13/16 miles in 1:57.54 and paid $32.80, $12 and $8.80. Itsmyluckyday returned $7.80 and $5. Mylute paid $5.20. to show.

President Bush Signs New Energy Tax Incentives Into Law
President Bush signed H.R. 4520, the "American Jobs Creation Act of 2004," into law on October 22nd. The new law creates and extends a number of energy-related tax credits, including an expansion of the renewable energy production tax credit. This credit formerly applied only to wind energy and some biomass energy projects, but Section 710 of the law now expands the credit to a wide range of biomass, geothermal, and solar energy projects, as well as hydropower produced from small irrigation projects. The tax credit applies to facilities placed in service before the end of next year.
The bill's Title III also extends the tax credit for ethanol through 2010 and creates a new tax credit for biodiesel, effective through 2006. It also removes a disincentive for ethanol and biodiesel production by eliminating any impact on the Highway Trust Fund caused by the tax credits.
Section 701 of the law places the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in charge of a demonstration program to provide up to $2 billion in tax-exempt financing to green building and sustainable design projects on so-called "brownfields"—abandoned industrial sites. The EPA's aggregate goal for the program will be to reduce electric consumption from traditional sources by 150 megawatts, reduce daily U.S. sulfur dioxide emissions by 10 tons, expand the domestic solar photovoltaic market by 75 percent (compared to the market growth from 2001 to 2002), and generate at least 25 megawatts of power from fuel cells. The projects must be partly supported by state or local governments and must be nominated by state or local governments within the next six months.
See the White House announcement on the bill signing, or go directly to the full text of the law. The new law was greeted with enthusiasm by the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition; the Renewable Fuels Association, which issued press releases on October 10th and October 22; and the National Biodiesel Board, which issued press releases on October 11th (PDF 35 KB) and October 22nd (PDF 35 KB).

- awesome magazinesI had to do a bit of modification to the magazine well, but I got one these to be able to fit into my WELL R7(which isn't supposed to be Marui compatible, so don't think these won't work in other guns). They feed flawlessly. They are built out of very strong plastic, and with a proper lube and breaking them in a bit, they should hold about 110-115 rounds(capacity of a UTG speedloader, don't listen to those who say it holds 120, I counted one day because I was bored). One time, my mag did jam though, and to fix it, I just put more bb's in. What happened was that the bb's got bunched up on the sides of the wall, don't fill it too fast and you should be fine. To break them in, fill them up with about 60-70 rounds for about 2 times, then fill to about 100, then you should be able to put a full UTG speedloader into them. But make sure you lube them first. To do so, just put the nozzle thing behind the part that pushes bb's up, then give a very quick spray.
Awesome magazines for an awesome price.
- The Best (for the price)These mags are simply perfect. they feed ALL 100 rounds without misfiring once or leaving a round in the mag. IMO they are the best midcaps u can get short of metal ones which are 3x the price. Also, midcaps are infinitely better than hi-caps because of their realism, reliability, and because they dont make noise
Well-built/feeling ABS
100 Rounds
What else could you want?
- QualityThese mags are worth it. I have had no jams of any sort with all four of these mags that I own. People think that the high cap wind mags are where it's at, but I would just as soon buy 6-7 of these and a decent tac vest to carry them. They are quality!(I don't rate anything a 5 because nothing is perfect)
- Not metal, but awesome!This is a great mag for those of you who hate winding and the rattling bbs. 100 rds is very good for a mid-cap! The price is the best thing though, $10! The one and only complaint that I have is the fact that they aren't metal. An ABS magazine can make your gun look a little weird and, as tough as ABS is, it could still crack and bust all to pieces.
Made well for ABS (not as good as metal, but if you take care of them then they'll take care of you!)
Great Capacity (100 rounds and no winding? Sounds like a winner!)
Excellent Price (only 10?, save your money for better things!)
Not Metal (may not be an issue for you, but i personally don't like it)
Great if your on a budget, or if you just don't want to spend a lot of money on mags. Great everything except for the ABS construction, I like metal mags.
- greatest mags evri bought the echo 1 m4 offa this site and the mag that came with it was horrible it misfed all the time so i ordered 2 of these and they worked perfectly in my gun they kick a$$ so get these
p.s. hi caps suck
- Great standard capFor get about the 2ROY 60 round mags this is better and cheaper.
- great mags I got 4 of these babys and they never misfeed and i mean never. Great buy for the price.
P.S I am sick and tired of hearing all the complaints about it not being metal. If i does the job who cares?
- Great Mid-CapFor being one of those people who hates hi cap magazines that need to be wound, this mid cap is a great replace the hi-cap that comes with most AEGs. This mag can hold 100 rounds and there is no winding. They are very durable and feel sturdy. I cannot tell if it is high grade plastic or medium grade metal that makes these mags. I got multiple of these magazines and they are great. Overall very good magazine and a great buy.
- greatI have one of these i had a little feading problem but i fixed it and other than that i am planing on geting another one of these.
This is a must buy! get it as a back up though. I hope this review helped.
Peace Out!
- Perfect magIt feeds great it locks great.

The start of November means Missouri residents are protected by the state's "cold weather" rule, which bars cutoffs of heat in freezing weather.
The rule applies to natural gas and electric utilities regulated by the Public Service Commission. It prohibits shutoffs from November through March whenever the temperature is predicted to fall below 32 degrees in the following 24 hours.
It also provides more lenient payment terms for residents to reconnect natural gas or electrical service.
Municipal utilities, cooperatives and companies providing propane by truck are not subject to the rule.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of this show since I haven't heard any of it, but this Suzy is an all-time great, a 18 minute monster that gets some mighty fine Type-2 treatment. It shows how groovy Fall 96 really was at certain times. An all-time great Suzy for sure.... hmmm maybe it's time to listen to the whole show. Done.

This show just missed in my mine it lacked something. Reba and DWD fell just short. Tight Caspian and a decent Taste. Lot of people talk about the Suzy->Jam but don't overlook the YEM it was very 11/14/95 ish... Definitely worth a listen. Overall this show was was right around average to slightly above.
I hear a "Silicone Fairy" tease/jam in this Suzy (originating from Page, who plays the vocal pattern from the verse on the piano around the 11-min mark).

MORAGA -- A Saint Mary's College student was sexually assaulted at the campus over the weekend, police said, and a crime alert was sent to students warning about the attack.
The incident occurred between 3 and 6:30 a.m. Saturday, after a woman met her attacker in Berkeley and invited him back to the campus, Moraga police Chief Robert Priebe said.
The woman was intoxicated and not capable of consenting to sexual activity, Priebe added.
A spokesman said Tuesday that the assault doesn't mean the campus is unsafe.
"This is not an incident where a student or someone else was stalking or lurking on the campus," Saint Mary's spokesman Mike McAlpin said. "This was a betrayal of trust. The young woman invited the man onto the campus with her. Her trust was breached."
No one had been arrested as of Tuesday, police said.
A crime alert was sent to students on Tuesday morning, but otherwise life on campus is proceeding as usual, McAlpin said.
The women's resource center, home to the campus' sexual assault awareness outreach and education program, was open, but it was not inundated by an increase in visitors.
"When this happens, students have lots of feelings," said Gillian Cutshaw, the coordinator of the program. "They're sad and have feelings of empathy for the victim. And there's anger and frustration that something like this happened on what is generally recognized as a very safe campus."
The attack occurred during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and may spur more students to come forward about incidents that have happened to them or to peers, Cutshaw said. The program, which offers a 24-hour hotline for anyone wishing to use it, offers self-defense courses, educational programs and specifically defines consent.
"It's not consent if a person doesn't say anything," Cutshaw said. "Consent is a 'Yes.' Did the person say, 'Yes?' And was it a sober, verbal yes?"
To contact the hotline, call 925-878-9207.

The first instinct of neighbors was to welcome newcomers to town. People held cookouts or beer and pizza parties to introduce folks from away to their new homes. So it was with the people who called themselves Rockefeller.

2.2k isn't the only milestone
Posted 18 January 2013 - 02:19 PM
TL:DR If you're a multi glad, stop telling everyone that you have any idea about why the rest of us play. There are plenty of us who don't need the incentive of 2.2k to keep playing - we are perfectly happy progressing at our own pace and hitting milestones without it being the best milestone out there.

I think the idea of adding cosmetic items(tabards, tmog, pets, mounts etc) for 2k2,3,4 is a really good idea.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 04:33 PM
Totally like the idea of cosmetic stuff too, but it's dumb to say that no one will play if 2.2k doesn't give you cool stuff.

1. If the weapon makes that much of a difference then everyone should have it for a level playing field
2. If the weapon doesnt make much difference then its gonna make a difference at all, 1600 players are still gonna be 1600 players.
Will see a decrease in people buying boosts for T2 which is good for competition in both RBG/Arena. The title system will still cause boosting for glad and such but atleast its an improvement.
I would like to see them add in some sort of weekly/monthly online based tournament ran by blizzard for different skill levels.

I was happy about hitting 2.4k, though. For some reason, despite MMR deflation happening, 2k has always been my minimum level of "acceptable" ratings.

I normally do something similar, cant really look at people's experience any more after the early season mmr exploit as they didn't reset statistics or achievements.
I normally just look for someone with half decent gear as its virtually impossible to complete with honor gear now and take any one who is keen. We must of played with about 10-12 people this season, about 3-4 of them were good.

About 10 years ago, I suffered what was diagnosed as a mild calf strain which prevented me from running, though walking was fine after a few days. I ended up taking a month of from running, but it reappeared again after a few days of slow running and would continue this pattern even after I took several months off, then started again. It originally came on without warning or without strenuous running....it just appeared within a few steps of slow jogging and I had to totally stop running. It feels like I was kicked hard in the soft, center part of the back of the calf muscle. Okay, well I ended up taking several years off from running and got back into it a year or so ago and hadn't had any unusual issues until a month ago, when the calf issue reappeared without warning during the first mile of a slow run. I limped back and thought "here we go again - end of running for a while." As long as the advice for a a calf strain is accurate, I have followed it and tested it out a few days ago and it reappeared again, starting the clock for recovery once again. I have no problem walking 5 or 10 miles and I don't even feel it, but I know it will come back if I start to run or jog. Does this sound like a calf strain/tear to anyone who has experienced something similar ? It is very frustrating because I was getting good at all my distances and managed to qualify for the 2011 Boston Marathon, but now this has occured. I am planning to take off from running until January 1, then test it slowly. I am just looking for advice from other runners who have experienced something similar. Many thanks to anyone who replies.
I did sprain my calf a few years ago. But I took 7 weeks off and came back with no problem. It's strange to have it come back after such a long time off, unless you were pushing too hard or just got unlucky. I have seen one article which seems to have helped several people. Maybe it will help you too - link below.
Len, thank you tremendously for the article. It is exactly what I am experiencing and I'll implement the plan it outlines. This just comes on without warning and stops me in my tracks, hence the aptly named "calf heart attack" title. I have a "Stick" and probably don't use it enough. In the past, I've been told that I have very tight calf muscles, so I need to commit to doing a lot more vigorous stretching than I currently do and maybe I'll still get to Boston next year. Again, thanks!
While the Stick may help maintain your calf muscles, and the manufacturer is aware of the power of massage, there are times when more focused pressure is more appropriate. Muscles with injured portions that result in mini-spasms (aka "trigger points," referred to in the article as "knots" around micro-tears) can be very persistent as you have found, and often cannot be rested away, even lasting a lifetime in extreme cases. In fact, trigger points have been photographed in fresh cadavers.. It's hard to get more relaxed than that, yo.
Consistently rolling over a trigger point with a stick or foam roller may bring results in easier cases, but for a persistent trigger point you need more focused pressure. It may "laugh" at anything less, even get worse from the irritation. At the very least you may waste precious time. Sit in a chair and prop your leg up where you can easily get to the rear calf with your thumbs. Probe the entire length of the layers of muscle here for sensitive spots, some of which can be invisibly small, comprised of only a few mutinous fibers. It is here that focused pressure, delivered in a series of short, few-second applications, can bring near-instant relief to trigger points. On the other hand, spreading the pressure over a broad area with a roller can de-fang your approach. Deep points need deeper pressure, or they will not be deactivated. I know because I work on them for a living.
The longer trigger points have persisted, the more likely they are to return, which is why you want to repeat this treatment a few times a day for the days, weeks, or months it may take to re-educate your neuromuscular system. Just as old habits are hard to break, ingrained patterns of pain and discomfort are a well-worn pathway of neuromuscular discomfort that is frequently revisited until your persistence has banished it to history. Damage to the muscle in question is not always the cause. Sometimes they are due to damage in a neighboring muscle that has shifted the workload next door.
When you've taken care of the more acute problem(s), by all means return to the tool of choice for general flushing and circulatory maintenance - but if you must roll, please roll in the direction of the heart to protect your veins and lymphatic system, which are fitted with one-way valves for this purpose. Otherwise, you risk damage to both. I've seen entirely too many people use the Stick in this improper way, and the sales lit, all manuals and articles of reference should always mention this, but don't (it should be embossed on the tool itself). I use my own soaped hands in the shower for the same purpose, with more definition and control, not to mention portability. I own a Stick, which has been gathering dust in my living room for nearly 10 years. I find it too hard for comfort, and too flat and blunt for detail work on curved and multi-faceted muscles. Though there are knobbier versions that improve the experience, I wouldn't risk a Boston Qualifier for it no way, no how, or I might be using one professionally to rest my thumbs.
Here's a tool that lets you strip away and view the layers of muscle...
James, Thank you for all the detail. I will take your advise and use my thumbs to work on the deep trigger points. That raises another question, as far as identifying the "trigger points." Should I assume that any spot that I feel or roll the Stick over that feels tender or "un-smooth" (almost like feeling a small knot) is a trigger point that should be focused on ? I don't want to over-do it with either the Stick or just using my thumbs and cause any damage, so I need to figure out a plan or a daily routine (how many reps/ how many sets/how many times each day or every other day, etc). The only problem I have is with my calf, so I will focus on those. I have also heard (if it's true) that you can use a golf ball to work on the deeper tissue. I'm not sure I can trust my thumbs yet to get the job done. I did about 9 miles of running for a few minutes (very slow), then walking about the same number of minutes and experienced no problems with the calf. Any additional thoughts you have are appreciated. Steve
You will find that more permanent objects like subcutaneous cysts, varicosities, etc. tend to stay put, while a rrigger point is a spontaneous phenomenon that tends to move around. It may even disappear as you press on it, which of course is your goal. They tend to occur at familiar locations, though, which correspond to points in the muscle that are more vulnerable or closer to motor nerve entry. I liken them to circuit breakers that occasionally trip and need to be reset. Otrher things to look out for are arteries, which throb, and nerves, which may produce a more painfully electrical sensation.
A trigger point will often hurt but feel the need for more pressure. They are more active electrically than surrounding tissue and can be detected by sensitive equipment and visualized by specialized MRAs. Once deactivated, they should reappear with decreasing frequency if you handle them promptly, unless there is a biomechanical or environmental issue that continues to irritate the host muscle.
Although tools like tennis balls, golf balls, Sticks, etc. seem safer at first, you will eventually become more comfortable with your thumbs because of the tactile feedback and level of control. Frequency of application depends on how much the area is bothering you, but prophylactic treatment would begin with once a day. I work my calves/achilles area with soaped fingers in every morning shower. If something is really bothering me I will get on it as frequently as I feel the need, but rarely more than 3-5 times a day. A session of trigger-pointing an area seldom takes longer than a minute or two, and most serious problems become manageable within a few days to a few weeks if not immediately. In rare cases a few months are required, especially after years of dysfunction.
I am not surprised you calf has quieted down, but you now have another tool in your kit to make sure it stays that way, even after your level of training increases. Good luck with your running!

An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's (Bradley Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future. That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him. As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions. But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent. With a dwindling stash and hit men who will eliminate him to get the NZT, Eddie must stay wired long enough to elude capture and fulfill his destiny. If he can't, he will become just another victim who thought he'd found invincibility in a bottle.

Both the Tahoe League and Far West J4/5 alpine skiers concluded their seasons with solid results in their respective championships.
The Tahoe League Championships were held at Squaw Valley the last weekend in March. The weather was terrible on Saturday with rain, wind and snow. All of the kids were troopers to stick it out and power through a second-to-last start order after hundreds of athletes raced earlier.
The second run was moved up to save time and after running near last, Diamond Peak ran first on the second run, allowing the athletes very little time to warm up in the lodge after waiting hours at the top of the race course for their first run.
"The Diamond Peak kids proved they are some of the toughest on the hill," said coach Johnny Albrecht. "I am extremely proud of how they skied, especially given the weather, conditions and start order.
"Sunday's weather was much better," the coach continued. "After a long season, I witnessed some of the best skiing from our kids that I have seen all year. At the conclusion of a long season, all athletes had a charging attitude! It was great to see."
Diamond Peak's Tahoe League champions include Aidan Pretti, Otto Albrecht and Andrew Donahue, who took fifth, 11th and 14th in the Boys' 7/8 division overall, and Alani Powell, who took 11th in the Girls' 7/8 division overall.
In the Boys' 9/10 division, Braydon Hock was 10th overall and Megan Smallhouse and Lucy Donahue placed 13th and 14th overall for the Girls' 9/10.
Stay tuned next week for results from the four-day J4/5 Championships at Northstar.

- 911 problem: Slow response violates Rural Metro's ambulance contract with Santa Clara County
SAN JOSE -- Making the best of a bad situation, Santa Clara County supervisors Tuesday voted to amend the county's five-year contract with its bankrupt ambulance company.
Saying they needed to ensure stable ambulance service for the county's 1.8 million residents, supervisors voted 5-0 to move $2.6 million from a $5 million trust fund Rural/Metro has paid into since July 2011 for franchise fees and penalties.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based ambulance firm has come under fire for violating its 2½-year-old, $375 million contract by responding too slowly to emergencies. It has already paid at least $4.7 million in fines.
County Executive Jeff Smith said $1.6 million of the $2.6 million will be used to pay local fire departments that respond to 911 emergencies before Rural/Metro. The balance will be used to help fund county emergency services, from the county communications center to training emergency personnel.
Smith said the county needs the board's permission to use the money to pay these bills because Rural/Metro, which filed for bankruptcy in August, is barred from using any of its assets until it exits bankruptcy court. That, he said, is expected to happen by month's end.
Supervisors on Tuesday also agreed to pay Rural/Metro $2 million the county has owed the company since 2011 for annually transporting about 350 county jail inmates to and from the county hospital for emergency treatment.
Smith said the county's contract with Rural/Metro never established a rate for this service because of "a misunderstanding."
Supervisors also agreed to a $1,115 per inmate fee until the contract with Rural/Metro ends in 2016.
While the company has responded on time so far this year, the board said it will continue to make sure Rural/Metro's service runs smoothly. The board must decide by June whether to renew the contract or open it up to competitive bidding -- a process that would take about two years.
The controverisal contract was approved in December 2010 by three supervisors, two of whom are seeking election next year: Dave Cortese, who is running for San Jose mayor, and Mike Wasserman, who is running for his second supervisorial term.
Disgraced former Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr., now serving a yearlong jail sentence for misusing campaign and taxpayer funds, was the third vote.
But critics, including AMR, the ambulance company that competed unsuccessfully for the contract and warned the county that Rural/Metro's lower bid would be unsustainable, questioned Tuesday's decision by the board.
"I don't think forgiving a debt to the county for $2.6 million is minor," Yvonne Ryzak, an AMR lobbyist, told supervisors. "That's the people's money, and you're saying to the people that you will forgive $2.6 million of their money to a multimillion-dollar corporation."
Smith later said Ryzak's characterization of the $2.6 million payment was inaccurate because the trust-fund money is paid by Rural/Metro and cannot be used for anything but the county's emergency medical system.
Late Tuesday, Marisa Melo, a spokeswoman for Rural/Metro, told this newspaper it was pleased with the board's unanimous action, "which will not impact the county taxpayers nor the general fund."

We all know that getting a vaccine is no fun but, fortunately, reading about vaccines is much less painful. One must credit the people behind VIOLIN (Vaccine Investigation and Online Information Network) at the University of Michigan Medical School for making the mining of vaccine-related information so pain-free, as they have created a wonderfully thorough site for all things vaccine. VIOLIN places at your fingertips information about vaccine research at all stages of development, whether the potential vaccine is preclinical, clinical, or already on the shelf as a commercially available product. The only cringe-worthy aspect of this site is the gross overuse of hybrid words in the menu bar. Given that the menu bar is supposed to give visitors to the site direction to various resources, I did not find terms like "Vaxpresso, Vaxign, Vaxgen," and "Vaxjo" to be helpful at all. I appreciate a portmanteau as much as the next person, but I found the sheer number on this site simply Vax-nnoying.
