Burton Seeking Wrong Office

After the recent dustup over a John Shannon TV ad, I checked out Colleen Burton's website to see if she had an ad. Sure enough, she did.
In it, Ms. Burton cited the three most important things that she would do if she were elected to a seat in Tallahassee.
The first was to repeal Obamacare. Number 2 was to block Common Core. Lastly, Ms. Burton would fight to secure our borders.
That got me to thinking.
How can a legislator in Tallahassee repeal a federal program, Obamacare?
Also, Florida doesn't have Common Core.
Last year, the legislature threw out Common Core and replaced it with the Florida Standards.
How does Ms. Burton plan to block something that doesn't exist?
Lastly, when people say "secure our borders," they are mainly speaking of America's border with Mexico.
How does Ms. Burton, sitting in Tallahassee, plan to secure a border that is nowhere near the state of Florida?
Perhaps Ms. Burton is running for the wrong office.

International Gamers Awards
The International Gamers Awards were created to recognize outstanding games and designers, as well as the companies that publish them. The awards are truly international in scope, with committee members representing countries throughout the world. The goal of the IGAs is to truly select the 'best of the best' in two categories: General Strategy Games and Historical Simulation Games. We hope that this will lead to greater exposure for these wonderful games to more and more people and help spread the word of the "wonderful world of gaming" on a global scale.

SIKESTON - Sikeston Senior High may not be the largest school in the state, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in student achievement.
Take the Bulldog Barker for example. Recently it earned All-Missouri for 2002. The first-place state award recognizes outstanding achievement in individual reporting, layout design and photography as well as overall coverage by newspaper and yearbook staffs.
"Super job overall," a judge wrote about the Barker. "You're producing a quality journalistic product for your community that captures the events of your high school and how it relates to the city of Sikeston."
The Bulldog Barker won in the medium-sized school category (enrollment of 700 to 1,300) along with the Globe at Clayton High School in Clayton, The Prep Times at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, The Criterion at Hickman Mills High School in Kansas City, Panorama at Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis and The Panther Times at Raymore-Peculiar High School in Peculiar.
"When I see the names of the other schools, I think it speaks very well for our administration and for our school board for allowing us to have equipment and programs so that these students can excel in the area of journalism," remarked Sally Lape, Barker adviser. "We won this back to back in 1998 and 1999 and this will be our third time. I'm extremely proud of the students' hard work and their dedication. I think that their school is very proud of them for what they've done."
For more than 75 years the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA) has worked with state scholastic journalism programs of all sizes to help advisers and students improve scholastic journalism in Missouri.
Lauren Deane, the Barker's news editor, said she was excited to learn they'd won but admitted she wasn't completely surprised.
"I thought it was really neat," said the 18-year-old. "We work really hard on the Barker, we try to make the stories really good, and I felt like all of our hard work paid off. I kind of felt like there was a possibility we would win, though, because we do work so hard on it and Mrs. Lape really helps us to make sure everything's perfect. We try really hard and we don't goof off, we try our very best."
"It was awesome," chimed in Chris Cota, the Barker's sports editor. "I think we won because we work really hard, we're working in here all the time. We come in three or four times a week and we stay until about 8 or 9 at night. We're pretty dedicated, it means a lot to us. We get a good paper out because it reflects on the staff."
Andrew Hedrick said he was surprised to find out the Barker won this year because it didn't the previous year and he didn't see a big difference in the newspapers. "I think maybe one thing it was is that we did a lot more serious topics this year. Last year we did people in our school and this year we did national topics and how it affected people in our school."
Anna Romero, executive director of MIPA, said she believes journalism should be practiced at an early age to prepare young people for college and in the field of journalism.
"I can see the difference between students who write in their scholastic years compared to those who come into college with less experience," said Romero, a professor at the Missouri School of Journalism at University of Missouri. "Students like those at Sikeston High School are able to hit the community sooner and know how to interview, write, follow-up stories, etc. I think awards (such as All-Missouri) give young people the encouragement to keep doing quality work and shows them where they're at compared to other students in the state."
What it has given Lape's students is a wealth of invaluable learning experiences. Not only does it teach them responsibility and accountability, but it also serves as a way to bring young people out of their shyness.
"We put out a biweekly newspaper and a lot of these schools only put one out once a month or they may only put it out once every three weeks which I think speaks extremely well for these kids," Lape said. "We have also found out that it's a rarity for schools to have a darkroom which I think is another tool that gives students an edge on artistic development, it's a skill they can take with them."
Students sign up to be on the Bulldog Barker their sophomore year and those selected come on board the following year. Recommended by their teachers, staff members must have good grades and a good attendance record.
"I've learned that it takes a lot of hard work and it can be very frustrating because you have to interview all the people and there's so much more that goes into it than people realize," Deane said.
Seventeen-year-old Cota agreed that putting out the newspaper is more responsibility that he had anticipated. "Getting quotes, getting everything put together and edited, it was a lot more responsibility than I was ready for actually," he confessed.
"Being sports editor has taught me a lot actually," Cota said. "I think what surprised me the most are the different personalities that you can bring together and still come out with a good product. We don't always hang out together out of the classroom but once we get in here we work pretty well and can usually get things done."
As the newspaper's computer layout editor, 18-year-old Hedrick said he has come to several realizations. "I've learned that you can't always count on people to get done with things on time," he joked. "I think that I have grown, I've learned how to work as part of a team. More importantly, I've also gotten a sense of responsibility. In other classes I might think well I don't have to do this homework or something but I know that I have to go to the Barker because I have a responsibility, people are counting on me."
But don't get them wrong. They all said along with the hard work is a lot of fun and togetherness. For many, the newspaper staff has become a second family.
"We do have a lot of fun in here together and try to make the best of it," Deane said. "I didn't know working at something that was so hard could be that much fun."
As she looked around at her 2001-2002 Bulldog Barker staff, Lape reflected on the difference two years has made. When asked if the students have changed since their first day on the Barker staff, Lape replied: "Oh yes, oh my gosh. That's a funny question," she said laughing as she shared the question with the class.
"And they're all smiling at me," she noted. "What a change. The main thing is they come into class knowing very little about deadlines. They learn how to really budget their time because these kids are very busy students. That might be the greatest lesson that they learn."

Definition of oleaceous in English:
Relating to or denoting plants of the olive family (Oleaceae).
Example sentences
- Considering the high diversity of laurophyllous Oleaceae in modern evergreen and mixed mesophytic forests and the common presence of oleaceous pollen in the fossil record it may be expected that cuticular analysis of laurophyllous leaf fossils will lead to the recognition of an increased number of oleaceous taxa in Tertiary leaf assemblages.
Mid 19th century: from modern Latin Oleaceae (plural), based on Latin olea 'olive tree', + -ous.

A five-year public corruption investigation of former state Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata apparently ended Wednesday as a federal prosecutor in Sacramento announced he won't file any charges against the former lawmaker and future Oakland mayoral candidate.
The probe had cast clouds over the entire four years that Perata, D-Oakland, spent at the state Senate's helm, arguably as California state government's most powerful elected Democrat.
Despite investigators having searched Perata's home as well as his son's and his former aide's; having subpoenaed reams of documents from public agencies and private businesses; and having interviewed scores of potential witnesses, the case seems to have drawn to a close without anyone ever being charged with a crime.
Prosecutors in the San Francisco-based Northern District of California several months ago declined to file any charges based on evidence the FBI had brought, but Eastern District Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence Brown then announced he would take the evidence under review.
"Prosecutors from both this office and the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice have reviewed the matter involving Senator Don Perata and have determined not to pursue criminal charges," Brown said in a statement Wednesday. "This office and the Criminal Division in Washington, D.C., worked collaboratively in undertaking this review. Each office reached its decision independently based on our respective analyses of the facts and the law. Beyond that, in accordance with departmental policy, we cannot disclose our deliberative process."
"Our review of this investigation was consistent with the sound exercise of our prosecutorial discretion," Brown said.
A letter received Wednesday by Perata attorney George O'Connell announcing the declination to file charges was signed by Brown and by Assistant U.S. Attorney General Lanny Breuer, in charge of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.
Perata issued a statement Wednesday saying he's "gratified but not surprised by this decision."
"This is a complete affirmation of everything I've maintained for the last five years — that I've acted appropriately in both my professional life and my career in public service," he said. "This was a full vindication. In the end, this case was closely reviewed by three different levels of the Department of Justice, all of which found no evidence to pursue a single charge. Ultimately, I knew that I had done nothing wrong and the truth would win out."
Better late than never, Perata said, offering his thanks to "the thousands of friends, neighbors and supporters who have unequivocally stood with me and my family during this trying time and gave me strength and encouragement when I needed it most."
The FBI's probe, which became public knowledge in late 2004 just weeks before Perata became the Senate President Pro Tem, seemed to focus on whether Perata took kickbacks or bribes in exchange for official favors, perhaps via a network of family, friends and associates. Records show the businesses of Perata's son and daughter have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by political committees under his direct control, even as Nick Perata and his businesses have been involved in real estate rentals and sales with his father.
Perata's legal defense fund has spent at least about $3.72 million since the start of 2005. He raised some eyebrows late last year by transferring $1.9 million from his Leadership California committee — which existed ostensibly to support or oppose ballot measures and recall efforts as Perata saw fit — into his legal fund. The California Democratic Party has contributed $450,000 to his defense as well.
Perata was term-limited out of the Legislature last year, and the probe's end without any criminal charges could bolster Perata's candidacy for mayor of Oakland in 2010, which he had announced in March. "I'm looking forward to turning the page on this entire unpleasant and unwarranted chapter and moving forward, focusing on bringing new hope and real leadership to the City I love," he said Wednesday.
"Certainly a pall — to whatever extent people perceived it — has been lifted," San Jose State State political science Professor Larry Gerston said Wednesday, adding he doesn't believe that pall detracted from Perata's efficacy as Pro Tem but "we don't know to what extent this kept him from running for statewide office, particularly in 2006 — we'll never know."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to comment Wednesday.
Elliot Peters, Nick Perata's attorney, said Wednesday that his client is "relieved and he's happy and he's happy for his dad. He loves his dad a lot and this thing has been lingering now for five years."
Peters said he had met with prosecutors in Brown's office earlier this year and found it "bewildering."
"They picked up a case that another bunch of prosecutors had looked at really closely for four years and decided not to indict, and within about 15 minutes were jumping to conclusions and drawing inferences. "... It was obvious they didn't know the facts, and that was what was scary because they can ruin your life just by filing charges," Peters said, digging deep for a Batman metaphor. "You think you're dealing with Commissioner Gordon and suddenly you're dealing with the Joker."

Barboni, D, Bremond, L, Bonnefille, R (2007). Comparative study of modern phytolith assemblages from inter-tropical Africa. PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY, 246(4-Feb), 454-470.
AbstractWe present a synthesis of modem phytolith studies from Africa, to infer the potential and limitations of phytolith assemblages to reconstruct vegetation and tree cover density. The modem dataset includes 149 phytolith assemblages of surface soil samples from 10 phytogeographical zones and sub-zones from East and West Africa, as well as 500 m-resolution satellite estimates of the percent tree cover at the sampling sites. To test the potential of phytolith assemblages to discriminate vegetation types we used principal component analysis. For each phytogeographical zone and sub-zone, we also provided the mean values, standard effors, and 95% confidence intervals for the means obtained on the modem African dataset for the abundance of the 13 most common phytolith types preserved in soil samples, and for four phytolith indices. Results from the modem African dataset show that 1) the relative abundances of 11 (out of 13) phytolith types allow discrimination of all vegetation zones but the Somalia-Masai steppe region, which at elevation < 600 in asl, exhibits a high proportion of rondel and trapeziform short cell phytoliths, like in the Afromontane region; 2) the co-occurrence of rondels and trapeziform polylobates characterises zones above 1900 m asl and/or current annual temperatures < 19 degrees C; 3) the relative abundance of globular phytoliths (granulate, smooth, and echinate) is better correlated to 500 m-resolution satellite estimates of the tree cover (R-2 = 0.60 for n = 149, and R-2 = 0.57 for n = 85, p < 0.005) than is the abundance of arboreal pollen (R-2 = 0.42, p < 0.005, only for n = 85). The tree cover, however, is largely under-estimated in the Afromontane zone, where globular phytoliths do not trace high-elevation forests. Limitations in our interpretation do exist, but could be overcome in the future through additional studies along an elevation/temperature gradient in the Somalia-Masai region of East Africa, and with more precise identifications of phytolith types and sub-types.

Britney hits back at her abusive boyfriend
The message was meant for ''Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars" and read, "Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!" on Twitter, reports People.com.
The sentiment was prompted by a tabloid report that Spears, who turned 29 Thursday, was abused by boyfriend Jason Trawick. And the singer"s one-time husband, Jason Alexander, was the one who made the allegation.
In the report, Alexander says Spears told him Trawick "beat on me," and RadarOnline posted an audio clip of the alleged conversation between Alexander and Spears. The singer's representatives, however, deny the woman's voice on the tapes belongs to the pop star.

'Jean-Michel Basquiat': Julian Schnabel on the New Film
It felt like 1985 last night at the Museum of Modern Art, as downtown luminaries Julian Schnabel, Glenn O'Brien, Kenny Scharf and Fab 5 Freddie joined Chris Rock, Alicia Keys and others for the New York premiere of "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child." The new documentary, directed by Tamra Davis, weaves a rare Basquiat interview she conducted with archival footage of '80's New York and comments from the late artist's colleagues. We interviewed Davis when "Radiant Child" was at Sundance, and the film will now see a limited release on July 21 at Film Forum.
"His improvisation is a soulful act, just following your soul; in that way I definitely relate," said Keys.
Producer Swizz Beatz, her companion at the event, rolled up his sleeve to reveal a sizable tattoo portrait of Basquiat. "He makes something so simple, so amazing. At first you'd say, 'it's something a child could do' but then when you look closer, you see the detail in there; somebody's life is being put on the canvas," he said.
After the screening, a panel consisting of Davis, Scharf, Jeffrey Deitch and Fab 5 Freddy was held, fielding questions ranging from how street art influenced today's culture to what pressures combined to kill Basquiat — a question that itself was so lengthy that Chris Rock broke up the audience when he called out, "Sometimes too-long questions kill!"
Later, we caught up with Schnabel, a friend and contemporary of Basquiat. Having directed his own narrative film on the artist's life, "Basquiat," we were curious what he thought of Davis' documentary version. "I think the sentiment of the film is beautiful and I also think it was very accurate," Schnabel said. "She did an excellent job. She was really his friend; she knew him so it was a natural evolving out of a real relationship."
As depicted in his movie, Schnabel first met Basquiat in the basement of gallerist Annina Nosei. "The relationship between painters is very different than that with a friend who does something else," Schnabel said. "So we had a unique relationship."
Not surprisingly, given boxing is a major theme in Basquiat's work, he wanted to go toe-to-toe with Schnabel. "Yes," Schnabel said, "he wanted to get in the ring, to compete. He wanted to be on top of the mountain."

Rabies is increasing in wildlife in Boulder County, placing both humans and animals at risk for this deadly disease. There is no cure for rabies, and it is nearly always fatal if untreated. If you think you may have been bitten by an animal, immediately and thoroughly cleanse the wound with soap and water and seek medical attention.
The best way to prevent rabies is to reduce the risk of contact with an infected animal.
See where positive rabies cases have been identified in Boulder County using our interactive rabies map.
Wild animals can travel great distances, so it's important to take precautions against rabies even if there have not been any rabid animals near you.
Some favorite skunk hideouts are foundations of houses or basements. The most effective control for skunks is to bury wire mesh 18" underground around these structures, or use sheet metal or concrete to seal access points. Skunks don't like loud noise or light; therefore, you can also try to shine a light into their hiding places.
Animals are attracted to food and harborage. If you eliminate these, you should eliminate the problem.
Bats carry rabies and should never be handled. Bats can find their way into houses, causing odors, noise, and nuisance conditions. Bats can fit through cracks 1/4" wide.
If your pet catches a bat or you find one in your house, contact Boulder County Public Health at 303-441-1564 to determine if testing is necessary.
Raccoons can also carry rabies. They often opt for chimneys and attics as substitutes for den sites.

National Weather Service Recognizes Juncos, Puerto Rico as a StormReady® Community
(L to R) – Humacao District Senator Jose L. Dalmau, NWS San Juan MIC Israel Matos, Juncos Chief EM Nilda Moyett, Mayor Alfredo A. Carrion, and Humacao District Senator Jorge Suarez (Photo: NWS San Juan)
(April. 11, 2008) -- Officials from the National Weather Service have recognized the municipality of Juncos, Puerto Rico as a StormReady® community. Juncos is the Commonwealth's third municipality to achieve StormReady® status.
"StormReady® encourages communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving local hazardous weather operations and public awareness," said Israel Matos, meteorologist-in-charge of the NWS forecast office in San Juan. "StormReady® arms communities with improved communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property - before and during the event."
During a special ceremony at the municipality's Emergency Management center, Matos presented a recognition letter and special StormReady® signs to Juncos Mayor Alfredo A. Carrión and Chief Emergency Manager Nilda Moyett. The StormReady® recognition will be in effect for three years before the community is required to undergo a renewal process.
The nationwide preparedness program uses a grassroots approach to help communities develop plans to handle local severe weather and flooding threats. The program is voluntary and provides communities with clear-cut advice from a partnership between local National Weather Service forecast offices and state and local emergency managers. StormReady® started in 1999 with seven communities in the Tulsa area. Today, there are more than 1,344 StormReady® sites.
To be recognized as StormReady®, a community must establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center; have more than one way to receive severe weather forecasts and warnings and to alert the public; create a system that monitors local weather conditions; promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars; and, develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.

After battling each other on the pitch three times this past fall, Marietta High's Brent Huck and Warren's Nick Koch are now on the same team: the All-Ohio team.
Recently, Huck and Koch each was named a second-team all-stater in Ohio Division 2 boys soccer.
In girls' Division 2 soccer, Warren's Melissa Dickerson was a second-team All-Ohio honoree for the second straight year.
"Happy and proud of Brent (Huck) for receiving this honor as a junior," said MHS head coach Todd Morris, who guided the Tigers to an 11-4-3 record this past season. "This is not only a testament to Brent and how hard he works but for our program in general."
Huck became the 14th Marietta boys' soccer player to be voted All-Ohio, and only the third junior (Eric Brockmeier - 2000, Alan Porter - 2004) to be so honored.
As a junior co-captain, Huck led MHS with 9 goals and 3 assists, and helped his team claim a second consecutive East Central Ohio League championship before bowing out in the sectional final to the eventual district champion Warren Warriors 2-1 in overtime.
Looking back at some of Huck's 2012 highlights, he scored the lone goal in Marietta's 1-0 triumph over Warren at Don Drumm Stadium early in the season.
He also had a hat trick in the Tigers' 3-2 win over Granville.
"Brent scored goals when they mattered the most this past season," Morris said.
A knee injury in Marietta's regular season finale made Huck's participation in the sectional tournament uncertain. But as gametime approached, he decided to play and donned a brace.
With Huck scoring one goal and assisting on another, the Tigers rallied to defeat visiting Athens 2-1 in an opening round match.
"He provided some great moments for us this year on the field, and provided great leadership, topped off with his gutsy performance against Athens in the tournament," Morris said. "His will to compete and work hard to improve are very admirable traits. He is a joy to coach and work with and I look forward to one more year with him."
A three-year letter winner, Huck played an integral part in Marietta's 17-2-2 season as a freshman, scoring six goals and dishing out two assists as Marietta ended its run in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League with a championship. The Tigers then won a district title and advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing to Columbus Bishop Watterson 1-0 in two overtimes.
As a sophomore, Huck scored eight goals and had three assists as Marietta posted an 11-4-2 mark.
"It is always nice to see guys rewarded for the hard work and dedication that they put into their sport," Morris said. "Brent works hard year round. Soccer is his passion."
Soccer is also Koch's and Dickerson's passion.
Koch, a two-time SEOAL Player of the Year, was instrumental in helping the Andrew Johnson-coached Warren Warriors repeat as district champions this past season.
The senior standout was the team's second-leading scorer with 11 goals as the royal blue and white booters went 14-3-4 overall (5-1-2 SEOAL).
The Warren boys exited tournament play after falling 3-0 to Bexley in a regional semifinal at Logan.
Dickerson, also a SEOAL Player of the Year, helped the Ekrem Eksi-led Lady Warriors to their first-ever SEOAL championship (5-0-1) and a 4-1 district semifinal win over Unioto.
Dickerson, a senior, was the the team leader in scoring with 19 goals and 17 assists as the Warren girls posted a 12-2-5 overall record.
The Lady Warriors bowed out of tourney play when they dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to Hillsboro in the district final.

I'm not really good with pot roasts - but want to make one in the crock this weekend. There are 2 types on sale this week - boneless chuck pot roast & Boston butt roast...which do y'all reccommend? Thanks!
Chuck seems to be the cut of choice for pot roast.
If you opt for the Boston Butt, the below recipe sure looked good when she fixed it on her show. I, myself, do not use her seasoning mix. Way too much salt for my taste.
Sprinkle 1 side of the roast with 2 tablespoons of the House Seasoning, making sure to rub well. Flip the roast over and rub the remaining 2 tablespoons of House Seasoning. Repeat the process with the seasoned salt and liquid smoke. Place the roast in a large roasting pan. Add the onion, water and bay leaves to the roast. Place in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until thermometer reads 170 degrees F. Let meat cool for a few minutes and then slice.
Serve with your favorite barbeque sauce.
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Just don't forget that a chuck roast is beef and a boston butt is pork.
Here is one I think you might like!!
1 package au jus dry mix,1 package Italian dressing dry mix,1- 12 oz can tomato sauce,1 roast,baby carrots( adjust size to your taste) 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed. Put potatoes and carrots in bottom of pot. Mix dry mixes with sauce, put a little over the potatoes,then add the roast,put rest of sauce over the meat. slow cookfor 8 1/2 hrs on low or high for 4 1/2hours.
Let me know how you like it!!
Never-fail pot roast recipe - Put your roast, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a packet of onion soup mix (cheap black label is the only kind I buy - 4/$1) and a soup can full of water in the crockpot. Stir it around a little, turn it on low & forget about it for 4-5 hours. Throw in some potatoes & carrots & cook it for a couple more hours. You can also use the same recipe & cook it in the oven or on top of the stove in a Dutch oven.
This is good with pork or beef. The best beef roast, in my opinion, is an Eye of Round. They cost a little more but there is no waste on them like other cuts.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Jan. 29, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A local hotel is lending a helping hand to some folks who were impacted by winter storm Leon.
After hearing that some local shelters were filled to capacity, the motel opened its doors offering some southern hospitality.
"I heard something hissing and then I already knew it. All my neighbor's pipes had been busting," Kevin Hart said.
When his pipes busted it left him to clean a huge mess and he is not alone.
"Not too much damage, it's just the point of being without," Darrell Wynn said.
When his pipes burst flooding his home, it left him too without a place to stay.
"We're not really used to this snow situation," Wynn said.
Fortunately, neither Wynn nor Hart were left out in the cold.
Jennifer Miller is manager with Motel 6 in Augusta. The motel opened its doors last night to some unfortunate storm victims by offering free rooms to about a dozen families.
"We actually saw on the news that most of the shelters were full. The Salvation Army was filling up," said Miller.
She said she did not want to see folks left without a warm and safe place to hunker down.
"They're just really happy to have a place to go, especially the ones whose pipes busted," Miller said.
She says the motel still has a few available rooms for free to those still facing storm-related problems. Meanwhile, Wynn and Hart are thankful to Miller and her staff.
"I'm very grateful for Motel 6 to offer their room free for two evenings to me," said Hart. Wynn echoed a similar sentiment. "Just a big shot out to Motel 6 you know for lending a hand when people really need it," said Wynn.
Miller said once the remaining free rooms are taken the motel will offer other rooms at a discounted rate of $25 only through Wednesday night.

{Recipes} Grilled Tuna Steaks
Nessa is a full time wife and mother of two, living the small town life in rural Texas. She loves cooking everything from tried and true recipes to her own wonderful creations. Catch her blogging at Ramblings of a Texas Housewife and on Twitter @Nessa_TX.
I have recently discovered that I adore tuna steaks. They may very well be one of my favorite foods. I have created a recipe for grilled tuna steaks that makes absolutely delicious tuna steaks. Not only is it tasty, but even cooks with limited experience can make this dish and wow their family.
The prep time on this one is quite quick, just be sure to plan ahead and allow time for the tuna steaks to marinate.
- 4 (4oz.) tuna steaks
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- !/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon Grey Poupon mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Place tuna steaks in gallon size zip top freezer bag.
- Combine soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, lemon peel, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended
- Pour marinade mixture over fish and gently flip a couple of times to coat the tuna steaks really well.
- Place the plastic bag in the fridge, laying flat on a cookie sheet and marinate overnight.
- Get your BBQ grill ready, you need the heat to be medium-high.
- Place steaks on hot grill and cook about 6 minutes per side over moderate heat.
- Baste with marinade mixture every two minutes or so while cooking.
This grilled tuna steaks recipe make a wonderful, light summer supper. Just add a salad, some crusty bread, and maybe a nice bottle of wine and you are all set. It is very simple and quick to prepare, which is great for busy working families.
Just remember to plan ahead for marinating time. If you cannot let the steaks marinate overnight, you can get by with only three hours. This dish is impressive enough to serve to company, something I really love about it. Plus, the tuna steaks do not taste "fishy" so most kids who turn up their noses at fish will enjoy this entree. Enjoy!

Hi there,
I'm using the Magic Fields plugin and I was wondering how I can do PHP and make sure, if the field is empty, not to show it.
Right now, in Internet Explorer, it's showing a box with a red X in it for my images, and some Testimonials don't have images in right now.
Here's my code for displaying my fields as a group:
$alltestimonials = get_group('testimonials');
foreach($alltestimonials as $testimonials) {

Is it something like

I appreciate any help :)

Thermalright Silver Arrow vs Noctua NH-D14
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Published: 18th November 2010 | Source: OC3D | Price: |
Thermalright pretty much rewrote the blue-print on what a CPU Cooler should be when they released the TRUE 120. This was a monster tower cooler that quickly became the cooler of choice for the Intel socket 775 processors.
With the release of the Core i7 series though a new solution was required to tame the heat that these put out, and eventually it settled upon Noctua, with the NH-D14, to stand atop the mountain and take over the number one slot. Many companies have tried to knock it off its perch without success.
Thermalright have re-entered the battle with the immense Silver Arrow, a cooler than follows the Noctua trend of twin towers and twin fans. Can it really take over the premium position?
We're here to find out in the battle of the Heavyweight champions. Please put on your best Michael Buffer...
In the Blue corner weighing in at 825g, hailing from Taiwan, the challenger, the Thermalright Silver Arrow.

Haha ! p*ss off thermalright !
I took one look at those clips and thought "oh no, oh god no !". And the heat pipes look like dildos
And I think that's why it fails. With the Noctua as you crank and crank the temps just don't seem to change. My 940 didn't refuse to boot due to heat I was just scared of blowing it up.
I might have missed the actual price of this but if it's around £50 why are they charging the same for that stupid shaman GPU cooler? This thing has two fans on and is bigger.
Nothing to worry about there for Noctua then. It'll be a bloody long time before any one can beat the NH and by the time they do it'll be too late.
Was talking to Stepy about this last night. The Noctua was just pure American right from the start. I could just visualise two yanks (Cleetus and Bubba) saying "Holy sheep sh*t, let's make the biggest dog garn cooler we can fit on a motherboard !" and then speccing it out like a V12 Aston. Once you reach that level all others can merely copy you, but with little chance of beating you. I mean, how the hell do you make a bigger cooler than the NH?
I wouldn't mind but TR seem to have simply stolen the NH and made a poorer cooler. I mean look at them
I do like the look of the fans on the TR tho, would look cool on a Gigabyte
Noctua threw the first punch. So it was game over. It really was hard to appreciate just how enormous the NH was until I had one in my PC.Quote
And I now hate Tom more than ever
You did that on purpose didn't you?Quote
Bitfenix survivor.
And I now hate Tom more than ever
You did that on purpose didn't you?
Might use it as the static test case for heatsinks now Quote
al tho its like 30Euro cheaper....
EDIT my bad i thought it was Thermaltake Quote
Xbit labs got different results. I haven't compared them closely, but at 4.4GHz 1.44375v they had the Silver Arrow at under 80C. What the reason for the different findings? I noticed Xbit used an open case, was the survivor opened as well during testing?
Dont like the fan Clips either Quote

You lot are just never happy
The results are bang on though, thats why i videod it all.
Case was sealed though hence the tape, there was only a few mm in it at the fixing points at the back of the case.Quote
When I read that Radeon 5770s idled at 23c I was bloody well pleased. Imagine my annoyance when I got one in there and it actually idled at 35. I thought it was chuffing broken.
Honestly, no disrespect Tom but reviews where the cards/coolers are on a test bed are absolutely useless to the end user. (Edit. Temps obs)
So kudos from me for showing us what actual coolers do in actual use in actual cases in people's actual computers.Quote
I enjoy your articles. Were you testing with H/T on? I cannot believe SA would not be able to pass,
since there are people on several forums, who had no problem with this cooler on given clock and voltages... Just wondering, peace Quote
TBH even if they scored the same Id tell people to buy the Noctua as its a far superior product.Quote
Oh and Tom uses the hottest core as the temperature rather than the coolest.Quote
Oh and Tom uses the hottest core as the temperature rather than the coolest.
A case is always going to be warmer than an open air test bed, as with open air, the temperature surrounding the heatsink is ambient, whereas in a case, no matter how well air cooled, the air is going to be slightly warmer.
Oh and Tom uses the hottest core as the temperature rather than the coolest.
Let's leave it at that.Quote

A boil water order has been issued for users of the Village of Tupper Lake water supply.
Officials said the order was issued as precaution because of a breakdown in the chlorine disinfection treatment of the water.
All water to be used for cooking and drinking needs to be boiled for one minute before use.
The order will be lifted when samples on two consecutive days show no bacteriological contamination.

Everblades vs. Jackals 4/15/13
Photos from Monday's game six win are now up.
Everblades vs. Jackals 4/15/13
Photos from Monday's game six win are now up.
What better way is there to spend YouTube Tuesday than remembering Friday night's amazing game and Alex Hutchings' hat-trick?
I have to be honest, I'm still riding high from Wednesday's Blades win. The guys managed to chase the third best goalie in the league at the moment and battled back every time the Jackals started to change momentum. It really was a thing of beauty. It has definitely made me pumped for tonight. Even sitting through the inevitable traffic hell that is the I-75 Daniels overpass right now is going to be worth it if they bring what they brought tonight. Until then, why night enjoy your weekly dose of links (that I almost forgot)?
– Another reason to be excited about tonight? The Blades are wearing the specialty military jerseys tonight. You may have noticed them at Wednesday's game, and honestly, I really like them. They're also offering special discounted tickets for veterans and active military tonight as well.
– Has anyone noticed the Blades haven't given out a bobble head in a few seasons? I guess I have to content myself with wasting money on old Blades Bobbles on eBay. Like this one. WHAT COULD BE MORE AWESOME THAN A ROB ZEPP BOBBLE HEAD GUYS?!
– The winner of this week's tweet of the week was hard to pick, but I had to go with this one:
– Every week it seems like another ECHL team signs a player with NHL experience. Meanwhile, we're about an hour and a half from two NHL franchises and can't get one guy willing to commute. No bueno.
– The league fined one of Elmira's players for "violating the leagues exclusive equipment policy",which I've never seen happen before and I was not aware could actually happen. I looked through the photos I took and I can't figure out what was wrong, but I'm far from an expert on hockey equipment styles and brands.
– A scarf may not be useful here in South Florida for anything other than those three super cold (and by super cold I mean Floridan cold: 50°), but it would be pretty cool to get this scarf in Blades colors.
– Puck Daddy did their own post on John Curry's temper Tantrum. I don't care who you are, that's still funny.
– Your Wikipedia hockey page for today: Sledge Hockey
– The moment you've all been waiting for: Kitty time!

"There once was a bunch of people who couldn't write Limericks…"
The late, great Alan Clark declared in his diaries that surely the world's two greatest repositories of wit must be the Bronx and the Household Division. Were the philandering philologist still alive today, he would surely amend that sentiment to include the Brooks Blog's Comment Section.
We proposed last week that readers send us something that could be loosely interpreted as a "Brooks Limerick". Since that time, a steady stream of five-lined, rhyming filth has again and again caused our Brooks Patented Filth Filter to overheat and blow its springs. Replacements are hard to come by, so the enterprise has wound up costing rather more than was originally projected.
Much of said filth is, however, quite witty when the light catches it in a certain way. Though not suitable for publication, its gift of private laughter should provide some consolation to those members of the Brooks team who have necessarily taken a cut in wages to balance the cost of new springs for our Filter.
But enough of the unprintable.
Some of our Haiku veterans have been back in action over the past few days. Arguable errant genius Patrick Foley strapped on his armour once more and entered the fray late yesterday evening with this one -
Oh the long painful miles I rode
The time in my saddle plateaued
One day I tried Brooks
It conformed with its nooks
My shape upon it I bestowed.
Patrick was one of a handful of ambitious Limerickers to cleverly rhyme words that don't visually match. Our Literary Panel was deeply impressed. That today is "Patrick's Day" must nonetheless be disregarded by voters should one of his offerings make the final round on Facebook.
Haiku Champ and 2011 Brooks Poet-In-Residence Ken Wolfe was barred from participating. In terms of sheer work rate, he would appear to have been replaced and outdone by Anwar Rahim. In the final of his approximately fifty entries Anwar writes-
Your last competition was to pen a haiku
Only one entry did I manage to do
A Limerick I can write
Though they're not a pretty site
Bad ones, there are more than just a few.
Line 3 is patently untrue, but is balanced by the self-effacing honesty of Line 4. And 5. And by the objective accuracy of 1 and 2.
But Anwar wasn't the only one to display a difficulty with the notion of "five scanning lines". While Ron Leach evidently thought we were still taking haikus, Vicente Santiago and Patrick Simpson seemingly both mistook the word "Limerick" for "Short Novel".
Still, a warm thanks to everyone who tried their hand. Our top five are on the Brooks Facebook Wall awaiting "Li(meric)kes".

Haye v Chris A seems sound...it could even be in a danger of being an exciting, explosive and hard-fought heavyweight contest.
As mentioned in another thread....Charr is sub-European belt level and only gets mentioned because he is a big, brave guy who is willing to stick around and take some shots to keep the crowd happy.

And yes, it is ok to take an easy defense once in a while, but Mormeck, Wach, Thompson, Pianeta in a row? You must be delusional if you think that's ok by any champions standards. They are either past it or completely unknown. If Haye had fought those four in a row (his last 4 opponents are miles ahead) you would have cried foul. Double standards, and he's not even champ.

If Chisora is a credible opponent so is Charr. They are very similar not just in style but in ability. As for the Polish dude, he could only win on points, and the chances of that happening are 20-1. He might be almost as tall as Wladimir, but he isn't as quick or coordinated. Also, he won't keep Haye back back with the threat of unleashing a hard right hand because he doesn't have the same power.

I had the extreme pleasure of illustrating and designing the "Create Your Story" cards. The best gift of all has been seeing these cards in action – being used by many a great company and individual seeking to clarify and bring greater personality to their brand voice. As a Creative Director at Free Range Studios these cards became an incredible tool for me and the whole studio helping build and design the many tangible needs of a brand's identity: brand guides, logos, website, videos, print, interactive.

One year ago I started talking with a man named Jonah Sachs who was the founder of a communications design studio or shall I say a Story Telling studio called Free Range. Honestly It was creative love at first site, I loved his story telling through wise and empowering writing and he loved how my art naturally tells stories. We quickly began working together and I moved back to my home town of San Francisco from Brooklyn NY to work for his company. Jonah told me one day that he had been writing a book about how we need to tell better stories in our culture. I was excited by this idea and he wonderfully then invited me on a truly grand adventure to create the art for the book even before we even had a publisher.
I have never in my life had more fun on a project than creating the art for "Winning the Story Wars".

These were a series of paintings for Fahrneheit 212. I used to work for this company as a producer and they commissioned me to paint these silly paintings that would alternate when guests where meeting at the company-- basically wanted to make guests say, "hey wasnt there a different painting there a minute ago?"
The Geisha and the Fireman are actually torched canvas and frame to give the impression that the fireplace below set the painting on fire-- This is my goofy nod to Norman Rockwell.

Official Tour T Shirt 2010
The story:
A good friend and brilliant designer Georgina asked me one day if I would be interested in doing a t-shirt design for Flight of the Conchords. Georgina had been doing many designs for Brett and Jermaine (the stars of Flight of the Conchords) and said they were wanting an illustrator to take on the next shirt design-- so being a fan myself I said, totally!! Brett and Jermaine gave me one simple direction and that was they loved 80's rock tours shirts and in particularly the sci-fi/ rock look of Journey's tour shirts.
Wonderfully, Brett and Jermaine dug my intitial sketches so much that they asked to put a rush to final, making the shirt be the official world tour shirt. If you are lucky enough to see them live in your town.

This week I was a busy gal knitting the Cobblestone Cowl written by KellyJ for Kalamazoo Knits. It was a pattern Your Local Yarn Shop gave to shoppers who participated in the Southwestern Michigan Yarn Quest last week. Since Your Local Yarn Shop (YLYS) is also my local yarn shop (LYS) I have been watching KellyJ as she has been working on her new patterns. I was super excited to cast on this Summer Cowl because I thought all of her patterns were sassy and I love knits I can wear even in the Summer.
I actually bought something from each shop I visited. Everything I bought was for projects that I have been planning so I was good about the impulse buy. I also kept my vow of not buying anymore sock yarn. At YLYS, I bought a couple of skeins of Panda Silk which I knew I would pair with my handspun to make this cowl. I also bought a skein of Therapi which I will use with my handspun for another upcoming project.

The RUR-5 Anti-Submarine Rocket (ASROC) is a ballistic missile designed to deliver the Mk 46 Mod 5 torpedo to a water entry point. Navy surface ships employed the ASROC with two different payloads -- either a nuclear depth charge that used a W-44 nuclear device or the Mk-44 or Mk-46 lightweight acoustic torpedo. The ASROC weapons were relatively small devices designed to fit inside the distinctive eight-cell box launcher found on almost all cruisers and destroyers of that era. The rockets were about fifteen feet long, approximately thirteen inches in diameter, and weighed about a ton. The torpedo is a very sophisticated weapon, employing for its time, state of the art technology for the propulsion and guidance systems. The torpedo is about eight feet long, weighs about 600 pounds and is also carried in tubes on escort ships. After water entry, the torpedo powered up and chased the sub using either passive or active sonar.
The nuclear depth charge configured ASROC on the other hand was a relatively simple device, as it was nothing more complicated than a ballistic, unguided rocket with a depth charge as payload. When employing either weapon, the idea was to place the weapon as close to the predicted position of the enemy sub and let the weapon work as designed. In the case of the depth charge, after water entry, it simply sank and detonated at a preset depth. The resulting shock wave did the rest -- water doesn't compress, but sub hulls do.
The RUM-139 Vertical Launch ASROC (VLA) is intended to provide vertical launch-capable surface combatants (without ASROC rail launchers) with an all-weather, quick reaction, standoff antisubmarine weapon capability. It is installed in Aegis ships (cruisers and destroyers) with the Mk41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) and DD 963-class destroyers with Mk 41 VLS. VLA includes a solid propellant booster with thrust vector control (TVC) to guide the missile from a vertical orientation through a pitchover maneuver into a trajectory intended to deliver the torpedo to an aim point on the ocean surface.Pre-launch commands for the VLA are provided by the ASW Combat System (ASWCS) which includes the Mk 116 Mod 6 (or 7) Underwater Fire Control System (UFCS), the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) data link receive capability, hull-mounted sonar AN/SQS-53B (the primary acoustic sensor for VLA targeting), towed tactical array sonar AN/SQR-19, data processor AN/SQQ-28 for sonobuoy data transmitted from a Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) Mk III helicopter, and the operators. The AN/SQS-53B and AN/SQR-19 are shipboard sensors which provide detection, classification, and localization (position and movement of target) information for processing by the UFCS. NTDS allows another platform (ship or aircraft) to share information that it has on enemy submarine position and movement with a VLA ship by transmitting the information for use by the UFCS. LAMPS Mk III can relay similar submarine information from its deployed sonobuoys to its assigned VLA ship. Localization information, in conjunction with environmental data at the launch ship (surface winds, relative humidity, for example), is used by the UFCS to compute an aim point (intended water entry point) for the VLA. VLA missile inspection, as well as component replacement, missile assembly, and checkout (test) are conducted at an Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) where the VLA missile is placed into a canister for storage or transportation to the ship. The canister is loaded into the VLS aboard ship and the VLA is fired from the canister. No corrective maintenance of VLA will be performed aboard ship. Component repair will be conducted at the depot level. The VLA program was initiated in the early 1980s to fulfill the need for a mid-range attack capability for surface ships with vertical launch systems. The VLA program was canceled in April 1988, in anticipation that another acquisition program, Sea Lance, would result in a longer-range ASW standoff weapon. In late 1988 Congress provided funding for a one-time buy of 300 VLAs until the surface ship-launched Sea Lance was fielded. This quantity was subsequently defined as 100 missiles for LRIP, with an additional 200 missiles for full production. VLA development continued, with OPEVAL occurring in August 1990. COMOPTEVFOR concluded that VLA was not operationally suitable and that low reliability precluded evaluation of operational effectiveness. FOT&E was conducted during June through August 1992 (missile assembly and encanisterization at the intermediate maintenance activity at the Naval Weapon Station, Yorktown, VA during June-July, and at-sea operational testing at an underwater test range of the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, HI during late August).
The ship-fired, ASROC-delivered Mark 45 nuclear torpedo was parachute deployed before entering the water and searching for and finding the submarine target. The torpedo, moving at 40 knots until reaching the proper depth in the water, then began a horizontal movement toward the target. Once in place, the warhead detonated. SWORDFISH was a low-yield nuclear weapon test (less than 20 kilotons) of an antisubmarine rocket (ASROC) delivery system conducted in the Pacific. The underwater test produced a spectacular eruption on the ocean surface. Operation Sailor Hat involved using numerous conventional explosives to simulate nuclear blasts. Delta, the last Sailor Hat test in the ship evaluation program, was conducted to study seismological data, underwater acoustics, radio communications, cratering, air blast effects, cloud growth, fire ball generation, and electromagnetic data.
