Tillman on his outing
Chris Tillman was the latest Orioles starter to fail to make it to the team's self-imposed three inning limit, but still be happy about his outing.
"I thought it went well," he said. "I threw all my pitches. I threw some really good cutters, good curveballs, quite a few good changeups, and threw a lot of fastballs that could go either way. They were right there borderline, which I think was positive for me."
Tillman allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over 2 1/3 innings and said he mixed in two cutters, which is the new pitch he's been tinkering with this spring. He cited his fastball location –he only walked one batter — as a plus, and was the second straight Orioles starter to allude to throwing some good pitches that were called for balls. Brian Matusz mentioned the same exact thing yesterday and even Jeremy Guthrie alluded to that notion on Sunday.
"For the most part, I thought I did pretty well," Tillman said of his second spring outing. "I wanted to get three innings in, but I threw a lot of pitches early on. I had that dragged on first inning that went a little longer than planned. There's nothing you can do about that."
Orioles-Rays Pregame Tidbits, Lineup
Update 9:02: Just got word that there will be some news out of Os camp around 9:30. As always check back here and on Twitter for the latest updates.
So while the Nats' Stephen Strasburg makes his debut, there are a few other games
going on Tuesday afternoon. Namely, the Orioles and the Rays, who will face off
for the third time in Grapefruit League play.
Nolan Reimold will make his second start of the spring, playing left field for the first time since getting in a few innings during the team's intrasquad game. Given the lack of any sort of news in Orioles camp, some of the guys were teasing Reimold about all the attention his left Achilles tendon is getting. But the Orioles have been adamant about taking it slow with Reimold (who had surgery on the tendon in September) so that he's ready by Opening Day.
According to AccuWeather.com (my new best friend this spring), there's a chance
of afternoon showers. Let's hope they get the game in delay-free.
Justin Turner was walking around the clubhouse this morning sans ice or a wrap. His left foot, which was struck by a ball hit by Garrett Atkins during Friday's BP, seems to have come down considerably. So he should be back soon.

Twins-Orioles Wrap
The Recap:
Here's the game story from today's 5-0 loss to the Twins.
Brian Matusz was happy with his outing,as was closer Mike Gonzalez.
Chris Tillman gets the ball Tuesday against the Rays, while Brad Bergesen makes his debut on Wednesday.
Follow along here as Brian Matusz faces off with Kevin Slowey in sunny Sarasota, where it's 66 degrees…
Updated 1:21: Matusz surrendered a leadoff double to Ben Revere but got Nick Punto looking for the game's first out. Michael Cuddyer's centerfield single put the Twins on the board and Jason Kubel doubled him in for a quick pair of runs. Matusz sent Brendan Harris down on three straight strikes and got Jacque Jones swinging. 26 pitches, 17 for strikes.
Updated 1:35: 10 pitch inning for Matusz, a K, and two infield ground balls. Nicely done.
Updated 1:41: Minus a leadoff single from Felix Pie, the Orioles haven't done anything again Twins starter Kevin Slowey. Matusz on to open the third, Twins up 2-0.
Updated 1:48: That's it for Matusz. He opened the third with two strikeouts and came out after throwing 46 pitches. After allowing the first-inning hit to Kubel, he retired seven straight. Nice rebound.
Updated 3:02: Mike Gonzalez pitched around a walk, a double and a single, thanks to a nice cut off throw at the plate by first baseman Luke Scott. Gonzalez struck out Chris Parmelee to end the inning. Jim Johnson gave up a run in the fifth and Koji pitched a scoreless sixth.
Updated 3:32: While I was down getting Matusz and Gonzo, the Twins scored another pair of runs, it's 5-0 going into the bottom of the ninth.
Tillman on his night
Orioles starter Chris Tillman said he felt strong in his Grapefruit League debut Friday night, a perfect two-inning stint where the 21-year-old struck out three Pirates batters in a row at one point.
"First and foremost, I felt good," Tillman said. "Got to mix in a little bit of my pitches, mainly fastballs, threw four or 5 offspeed pitches. I was happy with the location of my fastball, that's what I was working on [Friday night]."
Tillman opened the Orioles first night game at Ed Smith Stadium by retiring Akinori Iwamura on a ground ball back to the mound. He proceeded to send Jose Tabata and Garrett Jones down swinging, and opened the second inning with a strikeout of cleanup hitter Ryan Doumit. Miguel Tejada flashed the leather in just his second start at third, barehanding Steve Pearce's ball and throwing it cleanly to first for the second out.
The only ball that left the infield all night was Tillman's final batter, Brandon Moss, who hit a shallow fly to right field.
The Orioles have designated either a two-inning stint or a 35-pitch threshold, so Tillman's 33 throws were enough to end his night. Still, the right-hander was pleased with his ability to make the adjustments on his fastball and said he could have gone longer.
"Obviously I could have gone a little more, Tabata made me throw a few pitches there," Tillman said of the 10-pitch at-bat. "But I felt strong. Even in the last couple pitches of the [second] inning. So, I felt good."
Tillman's last game situation was during Monday's intrasquad contest, where he threw one scoreless inning and totaled 15 pitches. But Friday's cold and windy temperature helped put to rest any lingering worries about Tillman's back. The 21-year-old was pulled out of his Feb. 21 workout early and missed his next scheduled bullpen session after suffering back spasms caused by falling asleep awkwardly on a couch.
Tillman said he didn't feel any back tightness but took the proper precautions, getting in extra stretching and running out on the field early. Following Friday's outing, he planned on getting into the weight room to complete his workout, and was optimistic that his next outing would be 45-50 pitches.
Tillman also said his confidence this spring is like night and day when compared with a year ago.
"After building a relationship with the staff and the players it makes it a whole lot easier on me, and it makes it a lot easier to pitch too," Tillman said. "Especially with my relationship with me and Wieters, that's first and foremost, I think. So, it definitely helps. "
The Orioles have high hopes for Tillman, who is projected to be the team's fifth starter. The 21-year-old figures to be in a rotation that includes that includes Kevin Millwood, Jeremy Guthrie, Brad Bergesen and Brian Matusz.
Pie: A go for Saturday
Update 6:20: Manager Dave Trembley confirmed that Pie, Reimold and Aubrey will all be in Saturday's game. Reimold and Aubrey will split DH duties with Pie in the outfield.
Felix Pie was walking a little funny in the clubhouse on Friday afternoon, but he insisted he felt fine when he woke up this morning and expects to play in Saturday's game.
"It's good," Pie said of the left quadriceps stretch he felt during yesterday's game. "I'm ready to go."
Given that Pie's season ended on a left quadriceps strain last year, he admitted that he was initially a little scared when he felt the muscle stretch.
"I'm not worried [now] because I don't feel any pain," he said. "I feel much, much better this morning. I can walk normal."
Pie said he got some treatment this morning and that he would be "ready to go" for the Orioles-Tigers game in Lakeland at 1:05 p.m. ET tomorrow.
*Also Michael Aubrey was not in the starting lineup but could still get an at-bat. Manager Dave Trembley said prior to Thursday's game that the plan is for Aubrey to start on Saturday. I blogged Thursday about Aubrey saying he could get in at some point tonight. As far as I know, that's still a possibility.
*Assuming the weather isn't too harsh, Nolan Reimold will make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday. The Orioles have been cautious with Reimold this week,but he told me that the plan is for him to play in Lakeland. That would certainly be a positive sign for the club.
Game 2 Wrap: Rays 6, Orioles 5
Just a few notes as I look out onto the now-empty Charlotte Sports Park…
*The game story is up here, if you missed my updates on the blog and Twitter.
*The Orioles out-hit the Rays, 9-6 and got a strong showing from Brian Matusz.
*Felix Pie left the game early, but is still scheduled to play Saturday in Lakeland.
On Deck: Chris Tillman will pitch Friday's night game with the Pirates coming to town. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.
Game 2 Lineups and Morning Tidbits
Here is today's lineups for the game in Port Charlotte against Tampa Bay. Start time is 1:05 and hopefully the wind isn't quite as bad as yesterday…

*I also spoke briefly with Mike Aubrey, who has been sidelined with a (non baseball-related) procedure he underwent last Thursday. He's been practicing with the team, and said that manager Dave Trembley approached him this morning about getting in Friday's night game against the Pirates. So that will likely be his Grapefruit League debut.
Aubrey said he's not in any pain and isn't limited in practice, but the club wants to be cautious with him and make sure that the stitches in his back are fully healed.
*Friday's starter, Chris Tillman was checking the weather on his phone this morning, and was hopeful it won't be too cold. "I can't pitch in sleeves," Tillman said. The early forecast is in the 60s, but it's a night game so the temps could drop…
Off to Port Charlotte I go..Let's hope my GPS gets me there safely!
More Intrasquad stuff
"I've been 100 percent for the last two days," Tillman said. "I was even allowed to lift today. I think that's all in the rearview mirror, and we're going forward from here."
Tillman was opposed by Jake Arrieta, who was pleased to carry over some promising bullpen sessions out onto the mound. Arrieta threw only one breaking ball, to Miguel Tejada, and used the one-inning outing to keep the ball down in the zone.
[I'm] not too worried about being in and out right now, that will come later in Spring Training into the start of the season but really just working down at the knees, just trying to stay away from the letters," Arrieta said.
As for his breaking stuff and change-up, Arrieta said his goal this early in camp is just to make those pitches strikes.
"It's hard to work on a lot of things in one inning of work," he said. "What I really wanted to get comfortable with was my fastball with and I made some good pitches."
The above picture is Izturis warming up before the game. Part of the orange team, Izzy started at shortstop with Tejada at third for the game's first three innings.
The other notable pitcher in Monday's game was Jim Johnson, who tossed a scoreless second inning. Johnson struck out Garrett Atkins on three pitches, and retired Lou Montanez on a pop-up to second. Johnson said he used his offspeed more than he would during a regular game, throwing several to Justin Turner, who worked a walk.
Johnson didn't allow a hit and threw seven of his 13 pitches for strikes.
"I was just trying to get a feel for things and get things progressing," Johnson said. "It's usually the last thing that come around in the spring is your feel. Your arm strength is usually the first to come and then you progress through your pitches."
Given how early it is in Spring Training, Johnson said he "can't complain" with how he's throwing, so long as his arm feels good after Monday's test.
"By throwing bullpens and stuff you really can't gage because it's not the same intensity of pitching in a game," he said. "So, [I'll] see how the body reacts, I'm sure I'll be fine. Everything feels good."
Intrasquad game in pictures
A Tillman Note (that's not about his back)
Chris Tillman arrived at Sarasota early this year and according to Dave Trembley has added about eight pounds of muscle. When asked about what Tillman has to do differently this year to be successful, Trembley said it's all about setting the tone at the beginning of each start.
"He has to establish better rhythm and be more aggressive," Trembley said. "The first couple innings is when he seemed to be feeling for the strike zone and then he kind of got better. I think that goes with being a little more mature."
To elaborate a little bit on the being more aggressive bit, Trembley said specifically he would like to see Tillman use his fastball often and keep it down in the zone.
Tillman tossed his first live batting practice on Friday and is scheduled to toss in Monday's intrasquad game.

I've got the Asus Transformer tablet with the keyboard doc as well & I absolutely love it. Its like having the best of both worlds, a tablet & a laptop in 1.

 & like Mike it was a bit of a splurge but what the hell, I don't really buy myself any really cool toys.

 I have it connected to all kinds of cloud storage, so I basically have unlimited storage. & who ever recommended teamviewer, thanks that's been an awesome app. I connect to all my Linux systems GUI with it & connectbot for CLI.

 The only drawback is that it is wifi only so I do need wifi access.

 If anyone is thinking about getting a tablet I would highly recommend an Asus.

To celebrate West Virginia's 146th birthday, which fell on a Saturday this year, the Marshall County Historical Society approached the Marshall County Chamber of Commerce to initiate a county-wide tour event. Fourteen attractions and historic homes opened their doors to the public. It was a fantastic success.
At the Cockayne property, both the Farmhouse and Tenant House were open for tours. Over 861 persons were "clicked through" the back door of the farmhouse.
Visitors line up to tour the farmhouse.
The day began with a morning ceremony during which local Cub Scout Pack 82 presented the United States and West Virginia flags for salute.
Unfurling the flags; Cub Scout Pack 82 and their Troop Leaders
The crowd then gathered near the south porch for the unveiling of a proposed site plan for the Cockayne Farmstead. Steve Avdakov, Heritage Architectural Associates, was present to discuss the site plan he designed, which also shows the proposed traffic patterns around the tenant house and landscaping options for the south lawn.
Steve Avdakov unveils and explains the site plan; Tom Tarowsky on left. - The crowd watches.
Other events on the property that day included:
... a live archaeological excavation near the midden (the area used by the Cockaynes to burn trash) on the Cockayne back yard. The excavation was presented by Jamie and Emma Vosvick and a crew of volunteers on behalf of Archaeological Consultants of the MidWest. The display of items found during previous pit testing on the property and at the June 20 excavation as well as items found during the dig itself were a big hit with the crowd. Archaeological Consultants, through the Vosvicks, has provided many volunteers services to the project over the years, including authenticating the Indian Burial Mound behind the farmhouse as prehistoric in nature as well as logging and tagging over 1500 artifacts within the farmhouse.
....a lecture by Melissa Jefferys of Morgantown on the use of quilts to aid the Underground Railroad Movement. Ms. Jefferys relied on the book Hidden in Plain View, A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond G. Dobard, Ph.D. in giving her lecture. She used a quilt in her presentation that she had made of various patterns to explain how "enslaved men and women encoded messages within quilt patterns like Jacob's Ladders (later renamed Underground Railroad) to help fugitives navigate their escape along the Underground Railroad."
Melissa Jefferys speaks from the South Porch
Cameron and John Marshall High School art students made cut-outs as an attraction for the children that visited that day. They were set up with the Cockayne Mound as a backdrop.
And within the tenant house, WVU graduate student intern Jill Barto prepared and presented a display of historic clothing and accessories from our collection. She discussed these items with visitors and guests throughout the day.
WVU Intern, Jill Barto
There was also a quilting exhibit made possible by Helena Hubbs, the Whiteside/WTOV calliope was present, and additional entertainment was provided by a strolling barbershop quartet, the storytelling antics of Mark Harshman and a reading of the award winning essays written by Marshall County Students on "Why It is Important that We Celebrate West Virginia Day." Many people helped to make the June 20 event a success! We thank them all!

This beautifully written and gripping debut is as moving as it is frightening, and as heartbreaking as it is tender.
Tom and Jordy have been living with their gran since the day their mother, Loretta, left them on her doorstep and disappeared.
Now Loretta's returned, and she wants her boys back.
Tom and Jordy hit the road with Loretta in her beat-up car. The family of three journeys across the country, squabbling, bonding, searching and reconnecting.
But Loretta isn't mother material. She's broke, unreliable, lost. And there's something else that's not quite right with this reunion.
They reach the west coast and take refuge in a beachside caravan park. Their neighbour, a surly old man, warns the kids to stay away. But when Loretta disappears again the boys have no choice but to ask the old man for help, and now they face new threats and new fears.
'Suspenseful, tough and moving, this book had to be written. I can see see the film already.' Robert Drewe
'...a powerhouse of a book, one of those novels that is so evocative of the Australian landscape that it seems almost to be part of it. A pitch-perfect capturing of characters who are instantly recognisable, effortlessly rendered and irresistibly pathos-inducing.' Australian Womens Weekly
'Utterly convincing. These boys are so real, you will lie awake worrying about them, hoping that somehow they will find their way through it.' Cate Kennedy
[Romy Ash's debut] is full of heart. Her voice is already strong, her writing assured….It is the unusual way that Ash describes their world that captures the reader's imagination…Reminiscent of Favel Parret's recent Past the Shallows, and as Australian as Kenneth Cook's Wake in Fright, it's a cracking debut.' Louise Swinn, Weekend Australian
'After finishing this amazing debut novel I felt as if someone had ripped my heart out, stomped on it and put it back in. It is a very emotional novel...Romy Ash's talent as writer is obvious from the novel's opening pages. Her debut novel is perfectly precise and devastatingly amazing. The plight of Tom and Jordy will break your heart but you will stick by them until the end.' Jon Page, Bite the Book
'Ash's novel deftly captures the fading innocence of a boy who witnesses more than he understands; what he leaves unsaid is as revealing as what he articulates. Floundering blends spare but elegant prose with a gripping plot and an assured sense of place. It's an impressive first novel that heralds the arrival of a talented new voice in Australian literary fiction. 4 stars.' Australian Bookseller & Publisher
'The writing in Floundering is impressive. The voice of the young narrator rings consistent and true, the characters feel honestly portrayed, and the countryside and unrelenting heat are depicted so clearly that they almost become supporting characters, shaping the story as strongly as any person.' Australian Book Review
'The writing is visceral and observant, and clearly brings to life the intensely focused gaze of childhood….Floundering is a strong, resonant debut that hopefully signals what's to come.' Readings Monthly

Strong burst of exercise are one of the best ways to avoid gaining weight if you work at it hard enough, according to a new study.
The University of Utah research shows it's more important to exercise intensely than to work out more easily for a longer period of time.
"What we learned is that for preventing weight gain, the intensity of the activity matters more than duration," study researcher Jessie X. Fan, a professor of family and consumer studies at the University of Utah, said. Read more here.
"This new understanding is important because fewer than five percent of American adults today achieve the recommended level of physical activity in a week according to the current physical activity guidelines," he said.
Just short bouts of brisk activity can help keep the pounds off, such as running or other exercises like pushups. Even smaller choices like taking the stairs, parking at the far end of the lot, and others can add up.

I stumbled across this article yesterday http://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/series/target-5/target-5-sugar-baby-formula-139339308.html
In this article it states that sugar listed in baby formula is not needed to be labelled on the nutritional charts but must be labelled within the ingredient list - thus it does not need to say how many grams of sugar are in the formula - just that it is within the formula. The main sugars that are within baby formula are lactose which is a natural ingredient in breast milk, but when doing research I found that in a single serving of baby formula is about 14g of lactose (which is stated in the article) when in a 100ml sample of breast milk only 7g are found (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_breast_milk#Composition) - which means that within baby forumla there are + or - twice as much sugar than a baby would be getting through breast feeding.
Many of the parent companies of the companies that produce baby formula have their hands in the sugar industry as well - take similac for example - with their parent company being Abbot Industries which also makes Glucerna which is a series of Low GI bars and shakes to assist people with diabetes and their blood glucose management (http://www.abbott.ca/dotca/url/content/en_CA/20.10:10/product/Products_A-Z_List.htm). So when things like this exist it is rarely a coincidence that such baby formulas will have sugar content within them - which will lead the baby into having only a taste for sugar.
When I was growing up I had a large sweet tooth and quite disliked vegetables because of their taste. Only in the past few years through hindering my consumption of sugar have vegetables started to taste relatively good to me - and so to consider that these infants are being fed abnormal amounts of sugar if they are fed formula - which in today's society is not that uncommon - they are going to have their taste buds developed towards with an affinity towards sweet tasting products which will lead to a lifetime of sugar addiction - that which many of us experience today - leading to many diseases such as diabetes that these parent companies have their hands in as well - not to mention that some of these parent companies, such as Abbott industries manufacture catheters as well - so looking at how the money system works - in order to sell catheters they need people in the hospitals in order to need the catheters and through placing abnormal amounts of sugar in these formulas they in turn create that relationship with the child, from birth, with sugary products which has clearly been linked to type 2 diabetes in which they can then sell the Glucerna to these people when they grow older - talk about a fucked up system.
In the article above, a grandmother noticed that her granddaughter gained 4 pounds in a month after the babies mother had to switch her from breast milk to baby formula. This can be easily related to the child obesity epidemic that is spanning the US at the moment - in Europe the fears of childhood obesity rates sparked a ban on sucrose being added into baby formula of which similac, in the United States and Canada, still adds to, from the article, at least 2 brands of their baby formulas - not to mention that one of those baby formulas is labelled `organic`.
The information regarding sugars addictiveness and drug like qualities are rampant amongst the information that is available regarding sugar now - and yet companies like this still will put abnormal amounts of sugar in their foods being sold and marketed to mother of new born's thus they are not ignorant - nor are we - in regards to what we are giving to our children, and thus it is clear that they `know` what they are doing by having their hands in the diabetes industry and the medical industry as well - creating the problem and the solution at the same time - making money off of both the problem and solution for their own profit and greed.
This is what we've accepted and allowed from ourselves within participating in the capitalistic money system that exists = we are all equally responsible each day through our deed of participating in this money system and continuing to accept this money system in the methodologies that exists within it. It is not possible at this point in time to immediately remove the money system out from under us, but it is possible to re-structure it to support life in living such as with the Equal Money System wherein profit becomes irrelevant and life becomes the real value.
I suggest to each reading this to investigate the Equal Money System and the principles that it stands under and how to create this system by each of us taking responsibility for what we've accepted here. It is possible to change this abusive behaviour by us all taking responsibility for ourselves being abusive.

There were a lot more umbrellas on Brighton beach this time last week — but they were being used to ward off the fierce sunshine, rather than the rain.
Yesterday, after a three-week hiatus, in which the longest heat wave in 27 years sent barbecue sales soaring, it was business as usual for the British summer.
In West Yorkshire, 18in (46cm) of rain fell overnight, creating a flash flood that ripped chunks out of the road and flooded 20 homes in the village of Walsden. In Manchester, a sudden thunderstorm flooded two shopping centres.
And in Brighton, as a lonely lifeguard

More and more people use mind maps for studying. I really enjoy the sessions I have with (adult) students. They are there for one thing and one thing only. They want me to deliver on the promise that they can summarize a complete book, without having read one word from it before, and create a mind map on that book… in 50 minutes.
To do this, you really need to be able to focus and keep your eyes on the price, the summary.
It is also important to know that these 50 minutes you invest will pay back tenfold (at least) while studying the topic and reading the book. During my workshop I give the students insight in their book and make going through the book next time a lot easier. The best thing is that at the end they understand they can gain lots of time and reduce their stress significantly because of the simple 7 step process I give them.
The mind map they create from this first 50 minute period helps them in reading faster and understanding their topic better. It actually is more a rule than an exception that at the end people tell me they already have a good insight in the content of the book, just by participating in the workshop.
This is however not the reason I write this article. If you think it would be smart I explain this process in detail (and show things on video about this), let me know and I create this. I do need your 'green light' on this project though…
The reason for this short writing is that I believe a mind map is something good in studying, but there are far better techniques for remembering information. Which ones do you use? Or are you confident you can use mind maps only?
The technique I am talking about is the usage of memory techniques like memory palaces. Next time you want to remember the information from the mind map, use a memory palace. Here's a brief description how you can do this:
Imagine your living room. In this room, you have between 5 and 50 items that you can recall. I do mean recall or remember because they are actually in your living room as we speak.
Create a list of them and make sure you keep them in order. So you might choose the order this way: first item is on your left hand side when you enter the room. The second item is next to that in a clockwise order, etc. All the way until you reach item 5, 10, 20 or 50 in your room on your right hand side.
These positions/items or Loci (from the Latin word for location) are anchor points in your mind.
Now you connect the information in your mind map to these fixed items in your living room. Make sure the connection is strange, involves action, is absurd, perhaps painful, or involves humour. The stranger the connection the better you will remember it.
Do this for all the items in your mind map or your summary… and I am sure you can vividly remember all the things you had on paper or on your computer screen. Can't remember one? Imagine you are in your living room and you are standing in front of the item in your original list. When the connection is strong enough, you can't forget the information connected. If so, make sure you make the connection stronger.
Let me know how you are doing. I am sure you will enjoy this for studying, giving presentations, or for simply remembering information.
Add your thoughts, results and ideas in the form below.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Big Spring Jam 2011 offered a unique chance to see a wealth of local talent all in one place.
Black Eyed Susan, Mambo Gris Gris and Microwave Dave & the Nukes pleased both local fans and visitors to the area.
Black Eyed Susan had the crowd dancing and clapping to their covers of popular 80's party tunes. Covering songs from Prince, Poison, Queen and more -- it was nothing but a good time.
"We're so grateful you all decided to come hang out with some hometown boys in Huntsville," said Scott O'Hanian of Black Eyed Susan as he thanked the crowd.
The music, and the dancing, continued through the performance of Mambo Gris Gris as they played their fun fusion of Latin and Zydeco beats. Dancers were two-stepping and salsa dancing all through the crowd-pleasing performance.
Microwave Dave & the Nukes took to the stage and had the crowd hooting and clapping to some awesome guitar riffs as they wowed spectators with their blues-infused tunes. The crowd kept on dancing with some joining in on the fun by bouncing beach balls in front of the stage. Since forming in 1989, Microwave Dave & the Nukes have developed a loyal fan-base and it was evident in the size of the crowd.
Big Spring Jam 2011 provided a relaxed and family-friendly opportunity to showcase local talent. Families with children camped out at the Fox 54 stage to enjoy the rare chance to hear some of Huntsville's best talent in an open-air venue for all ages.

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Sunday denied a last-ditch request from the sponsors of California's now-overturned gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
He made no comment as he rejected their bid to halt the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses.
Proposition 8 supporters were asking the Supreme Court to intervene after a U.S. appeals court ignored a pre-determined waiting period, which allowed California to start immediately issuing gay marriage licenses.
California began issuing those licenses Friday, allowing homosexuals to begin marrying on Saturday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals moved weeks ahead of schedule to allow gay marriage by lifting a hold it had placed on same-sex unions while Prop 8 was being appealed at the Supreme Court.
"We haven't even had an opportunity to see what other options are available to us to uphold the will of the people with Prop 8, but the 9th Circuit has jumped the gun and forced same sex-marriage back on California," Andrew Pugno, general counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, said.
"I think the main issue is that we do not have an appellate court in California or anywhere that has ruled Proposition 8 to be unconstitutional," he continued.
"So how is it that we can go forward with redefining marriage just because one trial judge says so?" Pugno said.
Lawyers for the sponsors of Prop 8 had filed an emergency motion Saturday asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and stop the weddings while they considered their next move.
Attorneys with the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom argued in the petition that the 9th Circuit acted prematurely and unfairly.
Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Austin Nimocks had contended that his clients still had 22 days to ask the justices to reconsider their decision holding that Proposition 8's backers did not have legal authority to defend the ban.
Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage issued a statement saying: "It's another sad example of the utter disregard for the rule of law and judicial propriety by those who swear an oath to uphold the laws of California and the nation."
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for gay marriage to return to the nation's most populous state by ruling 5-4 on Wednesday that the sponsors of California's voter-approved ban on same-sex unions lacked authority to defend the measure in court.
Brown said that only happened because California's leaders ignored their obligation to defend the bill that was passed by California voters.
"After Proposition 8 was challenged, both the governor and attorney general refused to defend it," he said. "It would appear that the desire to impose same-sex marriage by some public officials trumps integrity, fairness, propriety, and even the rule of law. All Americans should be outraged."

text: I slept without a pillow for many years, until I got pregnant and had to switch from sleeping on my stomach to sleeping on my side. I've slept on my side ever since, with a fairly firm pillow supporting my neck and a body pillow between my legs. If I do sleep a little while on my stomach or back I push the pillow away (and put the body pillow under my knees if I am sleeping on my back). I'm having neck/shoulder problems from sleeping on my side, but I'm afraid to switch to sleeping on my back because it increases the risk of sleep apnea or on my stomach because I fear it is bad for my back.

Discipline: Psychology
Department: College of Life & Environmental Sciences
Research Centre/Unit: Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour
I am a zoo biologist with a particular interest in ungulates and non-passerine birds. My background is predominantly in behaviour and welfare of captive animals, and how the zoo environment can affect the types of behaviour displayed by those animals that are kept in captivity. My focus on zoo research came about during my undergraduate degree at Imperial College London (BSc Animal Science) where I researched the effect of dietary change on the performance of normal and abnormal behaviours in captive giraffe. I continued to investigate the links between management, provision and health / welfare during my MSc at the Royal Veterinary College (MSc Wild Animal Biology) where I conducted a national study of giraffe dietary husbandry and cause of death. Aside of my teaching at Exeter, I am currently an Associate Lecturer for the University of Portsmouth and since 2007 I have conducted a longitudinal study at Marwell Wildlife, in Hampshire, investigating the social structure of the giraffe herd at this zoo and the importance of social bonds to the individual animals.
This research has lead into my PhD project here at CRAB where I am examining the broader topic of the relevance and importance of social networks in captive species, and any associated implications for zoo animal husbandry and welfare. Currently, in conjunction with the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) at Slimbridge I am researching the social organisation of captive flamingos, as well as the roles that invididuals birds play within a flock. I am also interested in communication and vocalisation in flamingos, and I plan to investigate the importance of contact calls and group vocalisation to performance of reproductive displays.
I am also researching enclosure usage and breeding behaviour of captive flamingos to help further evidence base the husbandry techniques used for this most popular of zoo-housed birds. Several collections across the UK and Europe are helping me with data collection.
I also intend to analyse the movements of captive giraffe required by breeding decisions made by the studbook to see if reproductive success is influenced by movement and social upheavel during an individual's lifetime.
I am a member of the IUCN Giraffe & Okapi Working Group, the IUCN/SSC Flamingo Specialised Group, the BIAZA Research Committee and I am the Research Liaison Officer for the BIAZA Bird Working Group. I also sit on the Formal Learning Advisory Group for the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, and I am a member of the International Association of Giraffe Care Professionals. I am a professional member of the Association of British and Irish Wild Animal Keepers. I hope that my research will ultimately be useful to those managing captive populations with regard to i) exhibit design and enclosure layout, ii) decisions made on group changes and iii) planning and implementation of captive breeding initiatives.
I would be interested to hear from anyone working in the zoo industries who is working with giraffe and flamingos, as well as from those researchers who are also investigating similar species / areas of zoo animal behaviour and husbandry. Please do drop me a line if you're interested in helping with my data collection.

We thought we'd have all sorts of drama down the stretch in our MLive Game of the Week polls.
The votes were piling up, and the leads were changing hands.
But when the polls closed at 5 p.m. Tuesday, it was obvious voters - and there were a lot of them - had made up their minds about the winning games.
The Muskegon Chronicle poll was closest and most interesting to watch as it see-sawed between basketball and hockey after the polls opened on Friday.
In the end, it was our closest poll, with the Muskegon Western Michigan Christian at Muskegon Catholic Central boys basketball game getting 1,804 of 3,521 votes, or 51.2 percent to win it. That's a mouthful, too.
The Muskegon Reeths-Puffer at Mona Shores hockey game finished with 1,609 votes, or 45.7 percent. That's just a 5.5 percentage difference.
Here are all of the Muskegon poll results.
We'll get to the rest of the big-vote results right away, but first there is more voting to be done.
We're taking all of the winners from our polls and creating our statewide MLive Game of the Week ballot.
This time, the stakes are that the live chat hosted by our reporter from the winning game will get maximum exposure: We'll be displaying it on our high school home page.
We'll close the statewide poll at 9 p.m. Thursday.
Like we said, most of our other MLive Game of the Week polls got lots of voter attention, but didn't wind up that close in end.
Here are the rest of the results, in order of votes received:
Grand Rapids Press - Grand Haven at Holland West Ottawa girls won with 4,837 of 9,679 votes, or 50 percent. Cedar Springs (a bridesmaid again!) at Grand Rapids Northview was second with 3,873 votes.
Saginaw News - The Alma at Midland Bullock Creek girls game won with 1,799 of 3,111 votes, or 58 percent in one of the closer big-vote polls. The Ithaca at Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary boys game was second with 1,163 votes.
Jackson Citizen Patriot - The Jackson Northwest at Mason girls game won with 1,324 of 2,527 votes, or 52 percent. The Quincy at Homer boys game was second with 700 votes.
Kalamazoo Gazette - The Otsego at Plainwell boys game won with 954 of 1,634 votes, or 58 percent. The Galesburg-Augusta at Parchment girls game was second with 543 votes.
Ann Arbor News - In a two-school battle at the top, the Ypsilanti Community at Ypsilanti Lincoln boys game won with 603 of 1,387 votes, or 44 percent. The girls version was second with 343 votes.
Lansing - The Williamston at Lansing Catholic boys game came out of nowhere late Tuesday to win with 281 of 427 votes, or 66 percent. The Holt at Grand Ledge boys showdown was second with 73 votes.
Bay City Times - The Gladwin at Beaverton boys game won a close one with 86 of 208 votes, of 41 percent. The Bay City All Saints at Elkton-Pigeon-Bayport girls game was second with 73 votes.
Metro Detroit - The Detroit Pershing vs. Detroit Southeastern boys game, the Public School League tourney championship game, won with 52 of 111 votes, or 47 percent. The Southfield-Lathrup at Farmington Hills Harrison girls game was second with 42 votes.
Flint Journal - The Saginaw Arthur Hill at Flint Northwestern boys game won with 58 of 105 votes, or 55 percent. The Detroit Osborn at Flint Beecher boys game was second with 25 votes.
We'll have new polls on Friday for games on the nights of Feb. 27-28, and we'll be including girls districts. See all of the brackets.
Thanks for all of the voting.

Wasn't sure how to word my post heading, but here goes.
My son and I we watching arrivals and departures at MDT (Harrisburg Int'l, Pa) from our patio the other night. (with binoculars, since the airport is about 20 miles away) MDT has a single 10500ft runway.
Most commonly rwy33 is in use. Planes arriving from the southeast, taking off towards the northwest. This is how it is most of the time.
Now, I know that, depending on the prevailing winds, they will shift ops to rwy13. (landings from the northwest, take offs towards the southeast)
There is a question here.
What would cause a shift from 33 to 13, but not for all a/c?
Example: we see 10 arrivals and 10 departures on 33, then 1 t/o on 13, then 5 more arrivals on 33.
Under what circumstances would they allow one a/c to take off on 13 when all other traffic is using 33?
Jr asked me and I didn't have an answer for him.
Thanks in advance!

Obama takes oath of office
By Howell Dennis
CROWLEY – President Barack Obama took the oath of office today to become the 44th President of the United States.
In a scene that can best be described as surreal, millions of people gathered on the grounds of the National Mall to witness history as Obama became the nation's first African-American president.
The day began with Obama meeting for coffee with exiting President George W. Bush following a private service at St. John's Episcopal Church, which has become a tradition for those about to become president. The family of Vice President Joe Biden also attended.
Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr., of Los Angeles, drew murmurs and chuckles when he blessed the Obamas and asked that "they may finish these two terms of office stronger than they are now." Obama, of course, would have to win re-election in 2012 to serve a second term.
The story at the beginning of the day had to be the immense crowd - estimated by some to be between 2 - 3 million braving the freezing cold, fighting for position to see Obama take the oath of office.
"This is utter chaos now," said one security official. "But I must admit it is amazing to be here. This is definitely a day for the history books."
Tuesday's ceremony culminated an incredible ascent for the 47-year-old Democrat who moved into the Oval Office as the nation's fourth youngest president. In less than five years, he rose from a little known Illinois state lawmaker to the nation's highest office, persuading Americans that despite his relative inexperience, he could turn around the economy and end the Iraq war.
By the time Obama walked up to the stage, what seemed like an ocean of people stretching stood mesmerized watching from Jumbotrons or, it they were lucky enough, the naked eye to see the inauguration.
Obama took the stage shortly after 11 a.m. Central Time to take his oath of office. He was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and used the same Bible that Abraham Lincoln used for his inauguration.
He then gave his inaugural address.
"Our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed," Obama said. "Starting to day we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America"
"To the Muslim world," Obama said, "we seek a new way forward based on mutual respect and interest.
Still he bluntly warned, "To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that you are on the wrong side of history, know that your people will judge you based on what you can build, not what you can destroy."
The day was marred when Senator Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. Kennedy has been battling a brain tumor. As of press time, his condition was unknown.
President Obama understands that he must hit the ground running. With the economy in shambles and two wars going on the length of his honeymoon period will surely be tested.

Bing Offers Ad-Free Search to SchoolsCecily Kellogg
How much have you educated your kids about advertising online? As parents we spend a great deal of time educating our kids about safety online and appropriate behavior (and then we all pray that our kids take our advice). But do we spend the same amount of time educating our kids about how advertising works online?
I found myself considering this recently when Bing made a big announcement about offering a free, safe, ad-stripped version of their search engine to schools (disclosure: I have a professional relationship with an agency that works with Bing). Since so much of the advertising you see on search engines is based on what you've searched for, it seems like kids need to be educated about both the difference between ads and search results, and the risks of clicking on those ads and that the ads are made to look very much like search results.
This is why Bing's announcement is such welcome news. Giving kids the ability search at school without the distraction of advertising is a great option. Here's how they announced it on their blog.
Today, we're announcing a new initiative to give one context in particular a special treatment: we're helping our nation's schools to teach digital literacy skills. Starting later this year, Bing For Schoolswill offer schools in the U.S. the option to tailor the Bing experience for K-12 students by removing all advertisements from search results, enhancing privacy protections and the filtering of adult content, and adding specialized learning features to enhance digital literacy.
The program is completely voluntary: schools have the choice of participating or keeping the normal Bing experience. For those that opt-in, Bing will enable the experience across all searches from within the school's network on Bing.com, without any need for special software or a different search address. And of course, Bing For Schools is free for any school or districts wishing to participate.
If you are interested in having ad-free Bing for your school, you can enter your email and get more information.

This post is adapted from a recent presentation on an "Environment and the Law" panel at the Climate Crisis Chicago conference. The panel examined ways that the law has been used to further the interests of industries causing harm to the environment and to target activists. The author was asked to speak on the animal rights movement and how these issues relate to activists who oppose animal exploitation.
In examining the legal risks faced by climate justice activists and the environmentalist movement, it is useful to examine the ways in which the criminal legal system is used against animal rights activists. First, it is important to acknowledge that advocating for animals is an environmentalist issue which can advance the interests of the climate justice movement. Specifically, animal agriculture is a major cause of climate change and adopting a vegan diet is one of the best steps people can take to reduce their carbon footprint.
Secondly, examining the criminalization of the animal rights movement is instructive in that it is part of a larger strategy by law enforcement in this country to target and disrupt the environmentalist movement. Over the last decade, we have witnessed the Green Scare—the heavy-handed approach of government and law enforcement in arresting, prosecuting, and demonizing environmentalists under the guise of anti-terrorism. This trend is a continuation of the decades-old strategy of the government to label activists as "terrorists" in an attempt to undermine and dismiss otherwise effective movements. (For more information on the Green Scare, see Green is the New Red.)
One clear example of the targeting of animal activists is the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) which was passed by Congress and signed into law in 2006. The AETA amended and expanded the Animal Enterprise Protection Act (AEPA). The AETA makes "damaging or interfering with the operations of an animal enterprise" or "intentionally plac[ing] a person in fear of death or serious bodily injury" federal crimes of terrorism. One of the most significant changes from the AEPA to the AETA was the inclusion of "tertiary targets" meaning "any real or personal property of a person or entity having a connection to, relationship with, or transactions with an animal enterprise." This expanded the scope of the law so broadly that it now includes any entity that has any relationship with an animal enterprise, defined by the statute as:
(A) commercial or academic enterprise that uses or sells animals or animal products for profit, food or fiber production, agriculture, education, research, or testing;
(B) a zoo, aquarium, animal shelter, pet store, breeder, furrier, circus, or rodeo, or other lawful competitive animal event; or
(C) any fair or similar event intended to advance agricultural arts and sciences.
The broad scope of what entities can fall within the statute is what makes the AETA dangerous. Any individual interested in advocating on behalf of animals is left to wonder whether their action could be perceived as violating the law. This is particularly true when considering that the AETA includes room for conspiracy charges, which allow for prosecution based not on an individual's action alone, but on one's connection to other people's actions, regardless of participation or even knowledge of the specific actions.
The past decade has seen a number of prosecutions under both the AEPA and the AETA. These prosecutions have been notable in that they have both criminalized activity that is generally protected by the First Amendment, such as chanting and leafleting and also been used to enhance charges for direct actions which are already criminalized by existing federal or state statutes. Constitutional challenges to the AEPA and AETA have so far been successful and currently no prosecutions are pending under the AETA.
The most promising legal challenge at this time is Blum v. Holder, a federal civil lawsuit filed by five animal rights advocates challenging the AETA. The five activists are represented by lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights who are also NLG members. The plaintiffs are arguing that the AETA is unconstitutional on its face due to the fact that the language of the statute is overbroad and vague and could criminalize otherwise constitutionally protected activity. In particular, the suit charges that this statute leads to a "chilling effect" where people choose not to participate in constitutionally protected activity out of fear of prosecution. The suit was filed in December of 2011 and the government filed a motion to dismiss in March of 2012. This motion to dismiss has been fully briefed and was argued in the Federal District Court of Massachusetts in August of 2012. The plaintiffs and their attorneys are currently awaiting the judge's decision.
The National Lawyers Guild has been vocal in its opposition to the AETA for years, exposing the collusion between corporations and the government, representing activists charged under the AEPA and AETA, and operating a Green Scare Hotline. The NLG recently established an Animal Rights Activism Committee which is organizing to use the law to end animal exploitation and provide resources to animal rights activists who have been targeted because of their activism.
Brad Thomson is a legal worker member of the National Lawyers Guild and is active on the Mass Defense Committee, Military Law Task Force, and the newly formed Animal Rights Activism Committee. Brad works as a paralegal and private investigator for People's Law Office, a civil rights law firm in Chicago focused on police misconduct and criminal defense, particularly for social justice activists.

text: Housh Torn Posted by on Mar 2, 2009 05:12 ShareTweetby: Chris Sullivan . . . between Minnesota and Cincinatti, according to Pro Football Talk's twitter account. Sounds like he won't be wearing blue and green anytime soon, but not for lack of trying. A lot of people are getting down on Ruskell for not getting the big wins — Canty, Housh, Clayton, etc. — but one has to remember that it's not easy to get someone to move to the corner of the country. Housh lives in California and is familiar with the Northwest, so that's not really an issue in his case, but it appears we have offered both Housh and Clayton more than anyone else, and they decided to go elsewhere for other reasons. Also, I have to say that while, yes, we were a 4-12 team last year and, yes, I am a "homer," there's little doubt that we were the best 4-12 team in the league. There were at least 3 or 4 games that we could have won if we had fielded a full football team. The NFC West will be a better division this year, but tweaking our defense (by adding some safety help and sliding Mebane over to 3-tech, for example) could go a long way towards "fixing" the team. Ruskell has tried hard to pull in two WRs and had (it appears) no success, but one can't really fault him for the players opting out. ~END~ ShareTweetSeahawks Tickets About View all posts by →

See? Up there? That me, looking up from the drawing board and/or computer. I have stayed up so long working, without sleep, that I've drifted off somewhere in between the here and the hereafter. It's bright. I usually like to have good sunlight from which to work but this is a little ridiculous. I can barely see a thing and I totally forgot my sunglasses. Poop.
But I'm happy to be here. What? I know I'm not supposed to start a sentence with a conjunction; call it creative license. Anyway, like I said, I'm happy to be here, now, which is good because that's the only two places one can ever be. I read that somewhere. It was a good book, whatever it was. I'm sure I would remember it fondly if I hadn't forgotten it. And yes, I've been waiting to use that line for like fifteen years now.
Okay, I've got to get back to drawing stuff or I'll never get paid. I'm hungry. And apparently easily distracted. Another sentence started with a conjunction. Third one actually. Maybe I'll check out some Daily Deviations...

Toiyabe National Forest Activity Guides:
Toiyabe National Forest Trails:
Toiyabe National Forest
Toiyabe National Forest Overview
The Toiyabe is a forest of the Great Basin, the region that lies between the Wasatch Mountains of Utah and the Sierra Nevada of California. The forest's prairies, granite canyons and snowcapped mountain peaks spread from the eastern part of California to the central Nevada. The Toiyabe's ranger districts are separated by as much as 500 miles. With so much distance, the scenery, topography, climate, and wildlife can vary widely.
The Spring Mountain National Recreation Area is a favorite of many. Formerly known as the Las Vegas Ranger District, this fascinating district contains five eco-zones ranging from the Southern Desert Shrub to the Pseudo-Alpine zone. The wide variety of ecosystems relates to the rapid elevation ranges—from 4,500 feet to 11,918 feet on the Charleston Peak. All this high mountain country provides escape from the summer desert heat and the lights and sounds of the city of Las Vegas. The Toiyabe has eight designated wilderness areas. Highlights include the Hoover, which is a long thin sliver of sharp, glaciated peaks edging Yosemite National Park; the Carson-Iceberg, which straddles the Sierra crest; and the canyon-studded Mokolumne.
Hike Robinson Creek Trail
This trail enters the rugged Wilderness Boundary within the first few miles as it traverses beneath aspen, Jeffrey pines, and sagebrush meadows. It then travels along rocky and coarse terrain and over running streams, where the area's landlocked kokanee salmon thrive during the fall months. Hikers who reach the Sierra granite peaks towards the end will see the mountain's alpine lakes and beautiful striking shades of natural color. Eventually, the trail leads to the Hoover and Yosemite Wildernesses.
Camp Pine Creek
Pine Creek Campground lies at an elevation of 6,500 feet and is 70 miles from Tonopah. This cold mountain stream flows through the 24-site campground. Nearby attractions include fishing streams and access to the Alta Toquima Wilderness, where the Toquima Range offers some great hiking—including some trails that lead to the 11,949-foot Mount Jefferson, Taiyobe National Forest's highest peak.
Ride the Range of the Carson-Iceberg
Visitors are only allowed in this wilderness on foot or horseback. Many of the Carson-Iceberg's 195 miles of horseback riding trails roam through this Sierra Nevada wilderness. Its scenic granite canyons and volcanic peaks provide a true wilderness experience.
Wildlife Viewing
While traveling through Toiyabe, you are bound to encounter some of its mountain wildlife. The forest's residents include a great deal of mule deer, elk herds, beavers, and bats. While these animals have a fairly high chance of being seen in the wild, others do not. Black bears, cougars, bighorn sheep, and wild horses are present in the forest, but it is often difficult to view them in their natural habitat because of their tendency to avoid human contact.
Fish the Monitor Range
This area of the Tonopah Ranger District has a variety of fishing opportunities along some mountain creeks. Four specific creeks—the Mosquito, Barley, Cottonwood, and Clear—offer a collection of brown, rainbow, and brook trout.
Bike Yaney Canyon Mountain
The Bridgeport Ranger District is known to foster great mountain biking. One great trail is the 4.5-mile loop leading to Yaney Canyon Mountain, which travels along challenging rocky terrain, canyons, and beneath the forest's aspens. At the top of the mountain, you will pass the scenic peak to your left while traveling among the wildflowers and sage. You will then begin the exhilarating, though technical, descent downward.
Ski the Sweetwater Mountains
Though many parts of Toiyabe don't have groomed trails, many places do have great places to go cross-country skiing. The Sweetwater Mountains are 16 miles north of Bridgeport, and are a favorite place for their spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada. Some other great places to try are Bodie State Historic State Park and Virginia Creek Road, all in the Bridgeport area.
Climb the Sawtooth Ridge
Like the nearby Yosemite National Park, Toiyabe also has some great rock-climbing sites. The Hoover Wilderness, which is characterized by rugged mountains and steep canyons, is a prime site for climbing and bouldering in the area. Some climbs in Class II and Class III can be found on Matterhorn Peak, which is part of the Sawtooth Ridge. More difficult climbs in Classes III-V can be found off of Tamarack Lane Trail, which also leads to the Hoover Wilderness.

Do not allow yourself to become wrapped up in a food 'lifestyle'. That is ego, and you are not that.
my primal journal:
Easy Dudecipe:
Bacon, Cut to bite size
Brussels Sprouts, quartered
Broccoli, bite size
Fry bacon, when starting to brown add sprouts, wait a minute or two add broccoli. Don't let it burn. Done.
Three ingredients, 1 frying pan, 10 mins.
"Go For Broke"
Fat Kine-230/24% @ 6'2"
Small Kine-168/9%
Now- 200/8%
Goal- 210/6%
I don't think there are any divine recipes. Just work with your ingredients and figure it out. Cook the stuff that has to be cooked, and don't cook the stuff that shouldn't be cooked. It sounds like you already know what to do.
Plug in deep fryer. Cut large brussels sprouts in quarters and small ones in half (lengthwise in both cases).
Toss them in the deep fryer until they're slightly brown. Take them out with your bare hands and shake them in a big bowl with a paper towel in the bottom while you throw salt all around the kitchen. (Make sure some gets in the bowl).
Unplug the deep fryer. Sweep the floor. Deep fried brussels sprouts. Amazing.
Deep fried in what type of oil though?
This would be frakin' awesome in bacon fat!

Ya'll a bunch of girls.
This is the only recipe you'll ever need- Meat.
Last night I tried to make a fancy dinner for Mrs. McCool. Grilled up a few pounds of salmon, and punched some 'cados into submission for some homemade guac.
I even lit a candle and served everything on paper plates (no dishes to do afterwards. Smart.).
Apparently other ingredients go into guacamole besides pulverized avocados, as my wife was quick to point out. Also "salmon isn't supposed to be frozen on the inside and black on the outside".
Cooking's hard, dude.
Lucky for you, a good woman will still give you an A for effort.
I'm definitely no chef. I made mahi mahi en papillote for my boyfriend when we first started dating. He actually thought I could cook. Poor guy. In reality, I have 7 or 8 dishes in my rotation that I know I can count on, and I kind of cycle through them and maybe change up the veggies or the seasonings. But practice really does make... edible. Not perfect, though. Certain things become instinctive and you won't have to try so hard.
My best advice for any kind of fish or meat is to go to Amazon or your local store (we've got Target, but I don't know what you have there) and get a digital thermometer with an alarm. You stick the probe in the thickest part of the meat then run the wire out the oven or BBQ door. Set the alarm for whatever temp is done, then walk away. When the alarm goes off, take it out of the oven and it's perfect.
This is the one I got at Amazon, though you can find them a lot of places for not a lot of money. I actually got mine at Target.

Also, almost everything on the planet that goes in the oven cooks at 350F/175C, so if you're not sure, set the oven for that.

Few outsiders will ever witness the dark misdeeds of the Heavenly Host. And among this secret society, where exiled Georgian aristocrats gather to indulge their carnal desires, fewer still can match the insatiable appetite of their chief provocateur, the mysterious Viscount Rohan.
Pursuit of physical pleasure is both his preferred pastime and his most pressing urge, until he encounters the fascination of a woman who won't be swayed. And while his dark seduction appalls the pure and impoverished Elinor Harriman, she finds herself intrigued and secretly drawn to the man behind the desire.
Publishers Weekly® Reviews

Stuart (Fire and Ice) launches a trilogy with this dark, intense, and sometimes unsettling historical romance. In 1760s Paris, penniless British noblewoman Elinor Harriman is struggling to support her family when her ill mother runs away to an orgy held by Viscount Rohan, a mysterious libertine known as the King of Hell. This sets in motion a chain of events that draws Elinor and Rohan into a fierce contest of wills and desires. Stuart's writing is crisp and quick, and her characters are finely and memorably drawn, but Rohan's often violent and predatory treatment of Elinor goes well beyond what most readers will find acceptable in an ostensible hero, especially given Elinor's traumatic childhood. Notions of the reformatory power of love fall flat against these grim scenes, which uncomfortably detract from an otherwise enjoyable and powerful story. (Aug.)
From the ocean's depths
You have the A/C on anyway, right? So why not turn up your internal heat with August-appropriate love stories.
A most unusual heroine stars in Christine Feehan's captivating Water Bound. Sea urchin diver Rikki Sitmore is aware she's different from most people—she doesn't like to be touched and can't abide disturbances to her routine, for example—but she has coping mechanisms that include a great affinity for water. On a dive trip, a freak wave throws her into the ocean's depths, where she encounters a drowning man. Rikki manages to bring the injured stranger to the surface, and from there into her life. Hurt, and with a hampered memory, Lev Prakenskii is forced to rely on the kindness of the eccentric but beautiful woman who saved him. At first he believes he'll only bring her danger, but then he discovers that danger already stalks Rikki. As he falls in love with her, he learns to accept her oddities as well as her strange powers. After all, Lev has some unusual talents himself that he must use to keep the woman he wants safe. Steaming with sexual tension and bubbling with danger, this imaginative tale will thrill lovers of paranormal romance.
Dee Davis offers an action-packed whodunit in Desperate Deeds. A-Tac, the black-ops CIA unit with members who are experts in both academia and espionage, is back battling terrorism. Tyler Hanson, teacher of literature and the team's go-to person for munitions, has been tasked with transferring technically advanced detonators to the British. When the operation goes awry, Tyler finds sympathy and passion with the man she's met as her British counterpart—Owen Wakefield. The next day she's dismayed to discover her one-night stand has now joined A-Tac to determine what went wrong with her mission. Though she guesses that Owen suspects her as the leak in the team, they work together while trying to ignore their inconvenient attraction. More deaths come between them and the truth, and as the countdown to a nuclear explosion begins, Tyler and Owen race to save the day. A thrilling rollercoaster ride of romantic suspense.
Nobody writes a dark hero more deliciously than Anne Stuart, and Francis, Viscount Rohan, in Ruthless is as decadent as the best dark chocolate. Francis encounters a delightful foil in Elinor Harriman, she of the unfortunate "Harriman Nose," who will do whatever is necessary to save her destitute family. In 1795 Paris, after her mother absconds with the last of the household's coins, Elinor's determination takes her straight to Francis, known as the "King of Hell." Francis finds himself charmed by Elinor and imagines it's her innocence that fascinates him. But Elinor is more complex than Francis guesses—and her past gives her a unique resistance to his famed seductive appeal. They strike a bargain for her to spend six weeks in his house, and while Elinor wonders if her heart will survive, there are other dangers lurking as well. An irresistible, sexy story, Ruthless is another winner from Stuart.
