By Justin Creech, Belvoir EagleJuly 3, 2013
Soldiers and Department of Defense civilians at Fort Belvoir experienced the importance of responsible drinking through a comedy show, Thursday at the installation's Community Center.
The "Happy Hour" Comedy tour featured comedian Bernie McGrenahan delivering his message of responsible drinking and taking advantage of the counseling resources the Army provides Soldiers and DoD civilians.
The Fort Belvoir Army Substance Abuse Program office organized McGrenahan's two stand-up routine performances.
"I do the tour in hopes that Soldiers will be responsible and smart," said McGrenahan. "If you find yourself dealing with stress, post-traumatic stress disorder or mission stress, don't resort to alcohol and drug use. Talk to ASAP, Army Community Service and the chaplains about your stress. Don't be afraid to talk, because it doesn't mean you are weak if you do."
Each show began with a 30-minute comedy skit by McGrenahan followed by a one-hour personal testimony of McGrenahan's personal struggles with alcohol and drug abuse, and how the alcohol and drug related suicide of his 19-year old brother 24 years ago furthered his downward spiral.
Hearing such a personal testimony surrounded by light-hearted laughter was fun for the several hundred Soldiers who attended both shows, according to Sgt. Adam Cunningham, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital medical logistics noncommissioned officer.
"I liked learning his life story and listening to what he went through," said Cunningham. "I thought he was going to talk about using hard drugs, but the fact that he said alcohol was very informative. I know people that have dealt with alcohol abuse."
Finding out that McGrenahan started drinking in the 8th grade and by the time he was a senior in high school he was drinking multiple nights a week was stunning to Cunningham. All he was thinking about as a teenager was getting his homework done.
"I was doing homework in the 8th grade, I couldn't imagine drinking at that young of an age," said Cunningham. "At 18 I was joining the military and at 19 I was getting ready to deploy. I can't imagine partying hard at that age."
Hearing McGrenahan talk about his struggle with alcohol and drugs, plus losing his brother to suicide, was eye-opening and personal for Sgt. 1st Class A.J. Dominguez, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital senior enlisted leader of the Warrior Family Coordinator Center.
"I thought about some of the bad choices I've made in my life and the risks we put other people at when we make bad choices," said Dominguez. "Hearing him talking about his brother taking his own life, I've had Family and friends that have done the same, so you never know what someone is truly going through."
Taking advantage of the resources on post is the most important part of McGrenahan's message, said Dominguez. All Soldiers deal with stress, according to Dominguez, but none of them should ever deal with that stress in a destructive manner.
"Get help when you need help," said Dominguez. "Don't take the easy way out and resort to drugs and alcohol. We all have problems of some sort, so get the help that you need. There are resources out there."
McGrenahan has performed his show at nearly 200 military installations duiring the last six years. He hopes to open some eyes, but also to show servicemembers how much he appreciates the sacrifices they make for the nation's freedom.
"I never served, but I don't take my freedom for granted," said McGrenahan. "I want to thank the troops for what they are sacrificing for our freedom. I love every single one of them."

Easy Street hopes `Bee' spells success
August 31, 2009 - Andy Gray
When I saw the national touring production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" last year in Cleveland, I thought, "This would be the perfect show for Easy Street Productions."
When I mentioned that awhile back to Easy Street co-founder Todd Hancock, the show already was on his radar. Easy Street just was waiting for the rights to become available.
They got 'em.
Easy Street will stage the musical, which ran for more than 1,100 performances on Broadway, in November at DeYor Performing Arts Center's Ford Family Recital Hall.
The musical tells the story of six young people, dealing with raging hormones and other childhood issues, competing in a local spelling bee. The show also has an interactive element as audience members become part of the competition and targets for some improvisational humor.
It's a fun show, one well-suited to the intimacy of the Ford Family Recital Hall. It will run Nov. 13-15, but the run could expand up to three weekends if ticket demand necessitates it.

Putting a divisive campaign season behind them, Sen. John McCain will meet with President-elect Barack Obama on Monday to help with Obama's transition to the White House.
Obama's transition office says the former rivals "will discuss ways to work together" to make government more "effective and efficient."
It will be the first meeting between the two former candidates since Obama beat McCain in the Nov. 4 election.
Click play for more on President-elect Obama's transition to power with Alabama Congressman Robert Aderholt.
"It's well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality," Obama spokesman Stephanie Cutter said Friday.
Cutter also said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a McCain confidant, and Democrat Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who will be Obama's White House chief of staff, will join the meeting to be held in Chicago.
Since the election, Obama has stuck to the bipartisan tone of his campaign. This week, he selected a Republican and a Democrat to represent him in a meeting with foreign dignitaries in Washington to be held this weekend.
McCain has made very few public appearances, since the election. This week, he joined Jay Leno on the "Tonight Show," and made a campaign stop in Georgia for Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who faces a runoff next month.

Cabrera to DH Monday
Miguel Cabrera will make his Spring Training debut as the designated hitter Monday when the Tigers host the Yankees at Joker Marchant Stadium, adding the Tigers' most important offensive player back into the lineup. Manager Jim Leyland made the announcement Sunday morning.
Cabrera missed the Tigers' first two spring games this weekend, as well as their exhibition against Florida Southern College last Friday. He reported to camp last Thursday after missing the first six days of full-squad workouts following his arrest in South Florida on charges of driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence.
Cabrera has worked out and taken swings in the batting cage the past couple days. He joined in pregame batting practice Friday and Sunday and looked fine with his swing, and he ran the bases Saturday, but Leyland and the Tigers wanted to allow him time to get his legs into shape for game action. By using him at DH, they can get him at-bats and get his timing going seeing live pitches while allowing him to ease into baseball shape.
"Listen, I protected myself to the hilt on this one," Leyland said. "I talked to him. I talked to every trainer, I talked to the coaches, and I talked to my boss, so that everybody's on the same page. So he's going to DH tomorrow."
Monday's game will be broadcast online at MLB Gameday Audio and back in Detroit on 97.1 FM and AM 1270.
Sunday: Tigers vs. Blue Jays
Tigers working on infield drills this morning as part of their extra work. Once they're done with that and batting practice, they'll set about for official Spring Training home opener festivities, which include bunting all over the stadium and a ceremonial first pitch from Hall of Famer Al Kaline. Also throwing out a ceremonial first pitch is the great-great granddaughter of Clare Henley, who helped bring the Tigers to Lakeland for Spring Training in 1934.
As for the starting lineup, most of today's starters are guys who didn't make the trip to Dunedin yesterday. So it's like the Blue Jays are facing a whole different squad, save for Ryan Raburn and Ryan Strieby.
- Will Rhymes, 2B
- Victor Martinez, C
- Magglio Ordonez, DH
- Jhonny Peralta, SS
- Ryan Strieby, 1B
- Ryan Raburn, LF
- Don Kelly, CF
- Audy Ciriaco, 3B
- Andy Dirks, RF

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Ratchet's back with co-op and a chip on his shoulder.
"The [single-player] gameplay is quite a bit inspired by what we really liked online," says Brian Hastings, chief creative officer at Insomniac. "In fact, the default control mode is a lock-strafe mode with some tweaks to it that we used in multiplayer. We felt like this was what you need. If you want to have more action on the screen -- if you want to have more intense combat -- players just have to play in lock-strafe or you're not going to be able to handle [it]. A lot of the ideas -- the combat intensity, the missions that you do -- a lot of it is the things we really liked from multiplayer that we've been working on."
One of the new features to help players out in the single-player mode is that you now have squad members that follow you around while you play. Like in tactical shooters along the lines of the Rainbow Six series -- but far simplified -- you can guide your squad members with a context sensitive button that allows you to tell them to use turrets, revive each other, destroy certain objects, flip switches, etc.
If, however, you decide to play in the game's new split-screen co-op mode, your partner will take the place of your squad friends and the two of you can take on the game together (both players play Ratchet). "We've wanted to do co-op for a long time," says Hastings. "When I played co-op in Halo, it was one of my favorite experiences in gaming...there aren't that many games that support co-op, and it's probably because it's an immense challenge to support it. But when you do it, it's just so much more fun. It's such an added experience, and something we've been passionate about doing and something we would have done last year if it wasn't such an enormous technological hurdle. It's taken us this long to rewrite all our systems and make them support it."
Another significant shift for the series is in the overall story, which takes on a darker approach this time around. Instead of saving the galaxy again, the main plot of the game sees Ratchet and sidekick Clank stuck in an underground sports combat television show where they have fend off various challenges in order to stay alive. Ratchet's outfit is hidden under battle armor and much of the puzzle solving from the previous games has been toned down. We should note that you don't get to play as Clank this time around, and as a result the game is heavily focused on Ratchet's action-oriented abilities.
"I don't think it's a spin off as much as it's just a new direction and a completely different story," says Hastings. "When you say spin off, it makes it sound like a smaller game, and I feel like this is just as big a game as we've ever done -- bigger when you figure in the online and the co-op stuff."
What about the possible alienation of hardcore fans by taking this new direction with the series? "Every Ratchet game we've done so far has sold better than the one before, so we're not responding to any disappointment with how Ratchet is doing," Hastings responds. "We're actually very happy with it. We just felt we don't want to do the same thing each time. We want to challenge ourselves and we think the audience wants to see something a little different. It's not like we're trying to take the entire series necessarily in one direction; it's that every Ratchet game is a challenge for us creatively. What can we do new that makes us passionate about a project, and what keeps people excited about this game?"
Hastings also notes that this direction for the series is not necessarily a permanent shift towards a darker, action-focused type of gameplay. "In my mind, it's a case by case basis," he says. "We're committed to Ratchet and Clank for the long term. We're really passionate about the universe and the characters, and what story we're trying to tell, and what's going to challenge us and make us passionate about this game."
Though Insomniac isn't mentioning specifics just yet, the popular online multiplayer from Up Your Arsenal will return as well, so look out for those details at E3 in May.

How does the Affordable Care Act affect seniors, retirees?
We actually have good news here for a change.
What it did was require that Medicare begin covering several additional preventive services, such as annual wellness visits, immunizations, diet counseling, and screenings for cancer, cholesterol and diabetes. It started closing the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap, referred to as "the doughnut hole," which had many seniors paying high out-of-pocket costs for their medications (the gap is now scheduled to be closed by 2020). It also added resources to help catch people who fraudulently bill Medicare.
"The Affordable Care Act has very little to do with Medicare recipients, since senior citizens already have publicly financed health care," noted Molly Wood, a Lawrence attorney who specializes in elder law.
How does the Affordable Care Act affect seniors, retirees?
Unless something special comes up, I think I'm done posting on the Horrors of Obama Care. I really don't think this UNJUST law will survive the political firestorm that is erupting.

I think this "give me" attitude is a lot more common than most realize. "Progressives" hear stories like this and say, "well that is the exception, not the rule." Um, yeah...
Meh I don't see why people care about the whole Obama Care thing...
No matter how your health care is paid for in the states -- all you receive are incompetent doctors dealing drugs.
Iodine required for optimal health was removed from bread, milk & widespread public awareness to be replaced by disease causing bromide. Fluoride was added to our water supplies to make us sickly. Disease causing "Modern Wheat" is heavily promoted by the FDA & Big Business.

All roads in the USA lead to the doctor's waiting rooms & hospitals where expensive drugs are sold to replace proper nutrients that could cure. Always Medicate to treat symptoms, never cure them with proper nutrition.
My best example is iodine that cures fibrocystic breast disease, ovary cysts, uterus problems & thyroid problems are replaced by expensive drugs or surgeries. see our testimonials here:
Another fantastic example is Multiple Sclerosis treated with drugs costing $60,000/yr is almost cured by special green raw diet:

We have 2 unofficial parties. The "Progressive Democrats of America" and the "Tea Party"
PDA represents communism
The Tea Party represents freedom
The new political choice in America is clear cut. Do we want Communism or Freedom?
I choose the Tea Party:
The Tea Party makes Obama LIVID! The political battles between Obama & his Progressive Party & the Tea Party are INTENSE, as we have seen in the shutdown. IMO, the worst of these battles are yet to come. Obama & the Progressives want UNLIMITED government & the Tea Party wants the opposite. Make your next vote count. What do you really want? Everyone must choose sides before it is too late.15 Non-negotiable Core Beliefs
1. Illegal aliens are here illegally.
2. Pro-domestic employment is indispensable.
3. A strong military is essential.
4. Special interests must be eliminated.
5. Gun ownership is sacred.
6. Government must be downsized.
7. The national budget must be balanced.
8. Deficit spending must end.
9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal.
10. Reducing personal income taxes is a must.
11. Reducing business income taxes is mandatory.
12. Political offices must be available to average citizens.
13. Intrusive government must be stopped.
14. English as our core language is required.
15. Traditional family values are encouraged.
The next election already has George Soros (financial backer of PDA) supporting Hillary with his BILLIONS.
George Soros backs pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC
In the link, remove "Democratic" and replace with "Progressive." Hillary is a Progressive and said she is Proud of It.
This is all real, folks. Obama has just uncloaked himself, too. Progressives are coming out of the closet, and their hatred of freedom & the constitution shows.The individual must go, be squashed into submission. Individualism is their enemy, thinking people cannot be tolerated. Haven't you read the new lesson books** for our school children? You tell me what that is all about? Changing our history, because the U.S. Constitution is in their way.
The Corporate Socialist now call themselves, progressive patriots. As they try and hide their true intentions.
Hillary Clinton uncloaked herself in our 2008 campaign.

PS) ** The new lesson books for children represents "Common Core." Yes, Obama & his Progressives are secretly indoctrinating children into communism at an early age under the name of "Common Core." They are too smart to put this training into books for fear that parents will find out. Common core is on-line and in teaching materials. Don't take my word for this, do your own research.

What did he mean, "Transform The United States?"
What is a "Community Organizer?"
Here is the complete answer:
This link explains Obama Care perfectly, and explains exactly where Obama & his Progressives are taking our country. We are about to lose our country to the Fabian Socialist Party, an no one seems to care.The Fabian Society began in England in 1887 by a very small group of elitist socialist that sought to reform society gradually into one of socialism instead of through violent revolution. At first their purpose was to be an alternative in Britain for the more dominate Marxist Social-Democratic Federation, but their true goal was to accomplish socialism through a very gradual process using the voting booth and representative democracy as their instrument of change. In fact, one of their symbols is a Turtle with the motto: "When I Strike, I Strike Hard". Another symbol is the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and the Globe on an Anvil being hammered into the Fabian model.
The Fabian Plan for gradual Socialist Revolution was as definitive as it possibly could be, to say it has been a conspiracy is simplistic in the extreme. It instituted a widespread educational program for its leadership and its minions, as time progressed, it opened schools, such as the London School of Economics, and the New School of Social Research.
One stroke of genius was that instead of advocating a Socialist State, they assisted in the implementation of the Welfare State, which as we should all know is merely a few steps away from a purely Socialistic State. It was, of course, implemented gradually, and played upon the weaknesses of human nature to gain popularity. Unlike the usual Socialist points of views, the Fabians didn't advocate complete State ownership of businesses, industry, agriculture or land, instead they sought to involve the State into very specific areas of importance such as electric power production, transportation, precious metals and of course, credit. The remaining balance of economic systems would be left to the private sector however; it would be highly regulated by the State and operated according to the wishes of the State.
If you look at Britain, you will see that they accomplished their goals with ease and while American has been more difficult, the goals are the same and they have made enormous advances toward those goals, as we all know. Much of their accomplishments have been realized without using that dreaded word: Socialism. They have brought the Fabian Dream to America through an extremely brilliant system that has been openly accepted by the voters of this country without the hint of suspicion on their part that they were voting a Socialistic system into place.
Now, make no mistake about it, Fabian Socialists are Statist, they are absolutely authoritarian in their philosophy. Their long-term goal has always been a Socialistic Dictatorship with full-imposition of a very legalistic society where the individual is simply a part of the collective. An example of this can be found in the writings of one of the founders of the Fabian Society, George Bernard Shaw speaking of the Socialist Utopia, he said: "Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well." The rest of the story here:

When I was an EMT, we did a lot of medical transfers. Almost every time that we had someone on MediCal (basically welfare medical coverage in CA) they would have a family member there just like above...their homes would have brand new TVs or there would be new, nice cars in the driveway, etc.
Yeah, there are people that legitimately need help. But in my personal experience, the vast majority are lazy thieves that are only gaming the system.

ABILENE (AP) - A convicted killer who once faced execution has agreed to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Wayne East accepted a deal that gave him a life sentence for killing a 76-year-old woman during a 1981 burglary, KTXS-TV reported.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 1997 that a new jury should sentence East, who was convicted of killing Mary Eula Sears of Abilene.
The judges said prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that might have helped East during his 1982 trial.
Defense lawyers last week filed a motion for a whole new trial. But Taylor County prosecutors said they did not want to take a chance that East could be found innocent since some witnesses have died and the memories of others have faded.
On Friday, East admitted he fatally stabbed Sears, and state District Judge Billy John Edwards accepted the plea bargain.

Who is TV Jones?
Tom's success as a pickup maker stems from his incredible ear for tone. While working with Gretsch, Tom continued to make and design guitars and his interest in guitar pickups grew. He realized that slight changes to a pickup could vastly affect the feel and tone of a guitar. This sent him on a quest to design and manufacture the ultimate guitar pickup. Tom's expertise and passion for guitar pickups soon earned him the trust and admiration of many leading guitar players, like Brian Setzer, Billy F. Gibbons(ZZ Top), David Gilmour, Joe Perry(Aerosmith), John Mayer, Keith Urban, Chris Cheney(The Living End), Rob Matteras(Katy Perry), Artic Monkeys, Rusty Anderson(Paul McCartney), etc.
What makes TV Jones Ltd Pickups special?
1. Narrower bobbin width : Narrower magnetic field for more clarity.
2. Larger pole screw : Larger pole screws create more inductance – more inductance result in a thicker tone and more output.
3. 1. A thicker 1/4" Alnico 5 bar Magnet is used for the bridge pickup for more dynamics, and saturation when you dig in with a pick. An 1/8" Alnico 4 bar Magnet is used for the neck pickup for a sweeter, smoother tone.

Big scores continue at 2014 Open Championships

RENO, Nev. -
The high scores continued at the 2014
United States Bowling Congress Open Championships
on Saturday as Thanks Ronnie of Orlando, Fla., made a run at the recently-posted team record, and Michael Walker II of Weedsport, N.Y., rolled the fifth perfect game of this year's event.
Thanks Ronnie had a shot at the Regular Team lead heading into its final frame but settled into second place with a 3,514 total, the fifth-highest series in 111 years of USBC Open Championships competition. Motion Plus Lanes of Cudahy, Wis., took the lead with a record score of 3,561 at the National Bowling Stadium on Friday.
Led by newcomer A.J. Chapman's 763, Thanks Ronnie rolled games of 1,122, 1,175 and 1,217. Clay Herrbach added a 717 set and was followed by David O'Sullivan (710), Shawn Naumann (689) and P.J. Haggerty (635). All five players have vast collegiate bowling experience, and Chapman, Herrbach, O'Sullivan and Haggerty all spent time on Junior Team USA.
"It feels great," said Naumann, a 29-year-old right-hander who made his ninth tournament appearance. "We worked together as a team, communicated well and bowled very, very good. We still felt like we left a few out there, which is kind of hard to believe, but it's exciting coming off of the lanes knowing that we put up a score like that."
The members of Thanks Ronnie also went against the common practice of bringing a companion team, a choice that has paid dividends.
"For the past two years, we haven't had a companion team," Naumann said. "We haven't been able to put one together, or find the right people to bowl with, but it has worked out very well. I think it worked in our favor."
Chapman was a late addition to the squad after former Junior and adult Team USA member Ronnie Sparks Jr. said he'd be unable to attend this year's event.
The team will return to the lanes Sunday at 10 p.m. EDT to make a run at Team All-Events. Janz's H.I. of Beaver Dam, Wis., leads with a 10,363 total, the fourth-highest in tournament history.
"Tomorrow is a new day," Naumann said. "We'll stick with the game plan we have in place. We're just going to make shots, let it happen and not force it. That's what we did today, and it paid off."
Earlier in the day, Walker put together 12 consecutive strikes to kick off his fifth Open Championships appearance.
The 28-year-old right-hander added games of 189 and 190 for a 679 series to help Rick's Lawn Service of Auburn, N.Y., to a 3,165 total.
Walker stepped away from bowling for a short time to start his family, but his passion for the sport returned as he made his return to the Open Championships in 2013. Now, he's earned a place in the record books.
"I had my son (Michael Walker III) in 2011 and took a little bit of time off," Walker said. "Prior to that, when my girlfriend, Ashley, and I got together, I kind of backed off a bit because I was bowling a lot back then. I put a few life things in perspective, and bowling fell off a bit, but I do love the game, and the passion came back."
After some rough starts in previous Open Championships appearances, Walker was excited to see a few strikes pile up early, but he never expected to keep striking all the way into the 10th frame. His initial goal simply was to have a strong overall performance on the championship lanes.
"For me to step back and not put pressure on myself has been hard," Walker said. "I've thrown quite a few 300s but always start to put pressure on myself in the sixth or seventh frame. Tonight, after three, four, five-in-a-row, I tried to step back and be as even-keeled as I could, and it worked out. I threw the ball really well for 12 shots and couldn't ask for anything more. It's a life achievement. I never imagined it or even put it in my goals. My goals are shooting 700 and 2,000 - 300 wasn't an option. To accomplish that is really amazing, especially in the first game, since it makes the rest of the trip unbelievable."
Even though he fought through the excitement of rolling a perfect game on the national stage, along with the transition on the lanes during the following games, Walker was happy to share the accomplishment with his teammates.
In the weeks prior to making their trip to Reno, his group practiced on both the team and doubles/singles lane conditions several times a week and focused on working together.
"I just appreciated doing it for all of my guys," Walker said. "It's nice to have one of us with our name up there for an accomplishment like this. It's something we'll have forever. We put a lot of work into it, and it paid off."

Ottawa 6, Calgary 3 – Oddly enough, Both of these teams have 31 wins this year. Ottawa as 8 fewer regulation losses, though.
Detroit 3, Tampa Bay 2 – Tomas Tatar knew how to celebrate this victory, I'll bet.

Pittsburgh 4, Chicago 1 – With Toews and Kane out, the scoring duties were relegated to Sheldon Brookbank.
Nashville 4, Washington 3 (SO) -At first, it looked like a game between Troy Brouwer and Patric Hornqvist, who each had their teams' first 2 goals, but then everyone realized that was crazy and ended it in a skills contest. ASAS.
New York Rangers 5, Edmonton 0 – Both Mats Zuccarello and Rick Nash scored twice. Someday, Edmonton. Some day.

Blake Griffin autographed card sold for $38,032
During last year's mesmerizing NBA All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest in Los Angeles, Blake Griffin rocked the entire sports world -- to say nothing of an awestruck Staples Center rim -- by soaring over a Kia Optima SX sedan for one of the single greatest slams in hoops history.
It was one of the many "did that just happen?" highlights of Griffin's inexplicably thunderous debut campaign that provided more-than-adequate support for the staggering prices his top Panini America Rookie Cards fetched during last season's feeding frenzy. But nothing Griffin did last season could prepare us for what his best trading cards are doing this season. And before you go on, you may want to sit down.
Earlier this month, a rare Griffin trading card from Panini America's 2009-10 National Treasures product sold for the staggering sum of $38,032. The aptly named national treasure includes Griffin's autograph and the NBA Logoman patch from one of his worn jerseys. That final price tag represents one of the highest figures ever paid for a modern-era basketball card and reinforces the investment potential of sports cards -- especially rare ones featuring Griffin.
"The number is definitely surprising, I don't think there is any denying that," said Rob Springs, a senior market analyst for Dallas-based Beckett Media, the recognized leader in sports card valuations. "There's no question that he is one of the most popular players in the NBA right now, and his face is all over both the nightly highlights and several different endorsements. That just helps to drive the persona to be larger than life. He is very much following the closest in the footsteps of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, where their face is everywhere.
"High-end basketball cards still have as much, or more, potential than any other sport, in my opinion. There is just such a broad range of collecting bases and money from the NBA being a truly global game. There are high-end basketball collectors in America, Australia, Japan, Europe, etc., and that really helps to drive the top-end of the basketball market."

At (right) offensive guard, Horn features Erick Wren, a '13 prospect who is already 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds.
"I'm the type of person who mainly sticks to myself," said Wren. "I don't hold back when I'm training for football and when I'm on the field. I put in a lot of effort, and nobody is going to push me around the field.
"I basically compare myself to the center for the Dallas Cowboys (Andre Gurode). I give 100% effort. If you get me on one play, I'm going to get you on the next play."
What is Wren's history at Horn?
"I moved into this district from Terrell," he said. "I didn't know anyone at first. One day during the season, Coach (Rodney) Webb sat me down and talked to me. He said he was moving me up to the varsity.
"I eventually started three regular season games. It was a great feeling. I had to catch on fast, because the game is much faster on the varsity level."
The Jaguars lost quite a few seniors to graduation, including SMU signee Stephon Sanders, but they do return plenty of experienced players, including Wren and defensive back De'Vante Harris (Oklahoma commit).
"Our offensive line will need to come up big for us," said Wren, looking forward to the upcoming season. "There's a lot of focus on us (up front). Our defense needs a little more work.
"De'Vante is a great player. Like Stephon, he's always working hard. The team looks up to him as a captain. He keeps his grades right, too."
Wren reports a current bench press max of 265 pounds, which he says will balloon to 315 by the end of summer. He squats 475 pounds and hang cleans 275 pounds.

BAGHDAD - Iraqi forces assumed formal control of Baghdad and other cities Tuesday after American troops handed over security in urban areas in a defining step toward ending the U.S. combat role in the country.
A countdown clock broadcast on Iraqi TV ticked to zero as the midnight deadline passed for U.S. combat troops to finish their pullback to bases outside cities.
"The withdrawal of American troops is completed now from all cities after everything they sacrificed for the sake of security," said Sadiq al-Rikabi, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "We are now celebrating the restoration of sovereignty."
The Pentagon did not offer any comment to mark the passing of the deadline.
Fireworks, not bombings, colored the Baghdad skyline late Monday, and thousands attended a party in a park where singers performed patriotic songs. Loudspeakers at police stations and military checkpoints played recordings of similar tunes throughout the day, as Iraqi military vehicles decorated with flowers and national flags patrolled the capital.
"All of us are happy - Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds on this day," Waleed al-Bahadili said as he celebrated at the park. "The Americans harmed and insulted us too much."
Al-Maliki declared a public holiday and proclaimed June 30 as "National Sovereignty Day."
Pride Yet Trepidation
Midnight's handover to Iraqi forces filled many citizens with pride but also trepidation that government forces are not ready and that violence will rise. Shiites fear more bombings by Sunni militants; Sunnis fear that the Shiite-dominated Iraqi security forces will give them little protection.
If the Iraqis can hold down violence in the coming months, it will show the country is finally on the road to stability. If they fail, it will pose a challenge to President Barack Obama's pledge to end an unpopular war that has claimed the lives of more than 4,300 U.S. troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis.
The gathering at the Baghdad park was unprecedented in for such a postwar event in a city where people tend to avoid large gatherings for fear of suicide bombers. They ignored an appeal by Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi to stay away from crowded places during the U.S. pullback, which has seen more than 250 people killed in bombings over the past 10 days.
Security at the party was stifling, as it was throughout much of Baghdad where increased checkpoints dotted the streets and identity checks were methodical. Police using bomb sniffers searched every man, woman and child who attended the party.
U.S. Not Out Yet
In a ceremony rich with symbolism, the top U.S. military commander in Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Daniel Bolger, gave his Iraqi counterpart the keys to the former defense ministry building, which had served as a joint base.
"On the eve of the 30th of June 2009 in accord with a security agreement between Iraq and America, Iraqis take the lead in Baghdad," Bolger said.
The withdrawal, required under a U.S.-Iraqi security pact, marks the first major step toward withdrawing all American forces from the country by Dec. 31, 2011. Obama has said all combat troops will be gone by the end of August 2010.
Despite Tuesday's formal pullback, some U.S. troops will remain in the cities to train and advise Iraqi forces. U.S. troops will return to the cities only if asked. The U.S. military will continue combat operations in rural areas and near the border, but only with the Iraqi government's permission.
The U.S. has not said how many troops will be in the cities in advisory roles, but the vast majority of the more than 130,000 U.S. forces remaining in the country will be in large bases scattered outside cities.
There have been some worries that the 650,000-member Iraqi military is not ready to maintain stability and deal with a stubborn insurgency.
Privately, many U.S. officers worry the Iraqis will be overwhelmed if violence surges, having relied for years on the Americans for nearly everything.
"We think they are ready," U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. He said his main concern was that a lack of progress in efforts to reconcile Shiite, Sunnis and Kurds was feeding the violence that still marks the daily lives of many Iraqis.
"Frankly they need to pick up the pace," Hill said of the national reconciliation effort.
Attacks Remain Low
The commander of U.S. troops in the Middle East, Gen. David Petraeus, expressed concern about the spate of high-profile bombings but said the average daily number of attacks remained low at 10 to 15 compared with 160 in June 2007.
"While certainly there will be challenges - there are many difficult political issues, social issues, governmental development issues - we feel confident in the Iraqi security forces continuing the process of taking over the security tasks in their own country," said Petraeus after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo.
Despite some concerns, al-Maliki appears eager to see the Americans leave and has urged Iraqis to hold steady against any rise in violence. Ahead of national elections next year, al-Maliki is portraying himself as the leader who defeated terrorism and ended the U.S. occupation.
Iraqi officials said they are expecting some violence but would not allow it to trigger the sectarianism that nearly sparked a civil war in 2006-2007.
At that time, death squads roamed the streets, slaughtering members of the rival Muslim sect. Bombs rocked Baghdad daily - until thousands of U.S. troops poured in, establishing neighborhood bases and taking control of the Iraqi capital and other cities.
While the U.S. troop surge strategy was successful in stemming the bloodshed, many Iraqis also saw it as an affront to their national pride.
On a visit to Ramadi, a Sunni city 70 miles west of the capital, Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani, a Shiite, told the AP that when the sun rises on Tuesday "Iraqi citizens will see no U.S. soldiers in their cities. They will see only Iraqi troops protecting them."

The tax-protest "tea party" in Washington was rained on. The tea bags got soggy and it was a perfect example of original intent.
I enclosed a tea bag with my tax return. In the event the folks at the IRS were health enthusiasts, I chose green tea.

Do the British protest with crumpets? Just asking.

The Tea Bag Brigade needs more lasting props. How about bronze statues of those celebrity evaders, Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle?

Spring is here! The tradition continues this Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in warm and sunny Baltimore as six of the top teams in college lacrosse take the field for the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.
Fierce BIG EAST rivals No. 1 Syracuse and No. 20 Georgetown meet in the first game. The top-ranked Orange return to the Face-Off Classic after last playing in the 2008 edition. A win over Syracuse would give Georgetown its first victory in the series since 2006 and elevate the Hoyas in the rankings.
The second game pairs No. 2 Virginia and No. 9 Cornell. Bitter losses in the NCAA Semifinals saw both teams end its 2010 campaign at M&T Bank Stadium last May. The two opponents faced each each other in the 2009 NCAA Semifinals, with the Big Red earning a 15-6 win. The Cavaliers gained a measure of revenge with a convincing 12-4 win at Cornell in the 2010 regular season.
Baltimore area foes No. 17 Johns Hopkins and UMBC will close out the event. Despite their geographic proximity to each other the Blue Jays and the Retrievers have only met eight times. Hopkins has won all eight matchups, including all six since the series resumed in 2005. Last year, JHU topped UMBC 16-10 at Homewood Field. A tight game through much of the third quarter, UMBC trailed 10-9 before the Blue Jays went on a 6-1 run to close out the game and seal the win.
Face-Off Classic Primer
Just as has been the case in year's past, all six teams will practice at the stadium on Friday. The Inside Lacrosse staff will be at the stadium all day watching practices and catching up with players and coaches to bring you all the latest news and information.
Last year, Maryland opted out of their practice slot so the IL staff had a little fun on the field in the middle of the day. That's not the case this year as all six teams are practicing so we'll be 110% focused on practice rather than the chance to do some duck-ripping on an NFL field... not that we weren't focused last year.
The parking lots open at 8:00 a.m. and hot tailgating is allowed so bring your grills, brats, burgers or whatever you want to throw on to get ready for the big game.
Lacrosse sticks will be allowed in the stadium but lacrosse balls will not.
Syracuse vs. Georgetown and Cornell vs. Virginia will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU and Johns Hopkins vs. UMBC will be available on ESPN3.com.
If you don't have your tickets yet, what are you waiting for? Click here to purchase them.
Winter is finally almost over and spring has started to show its face, which it's expected to do on Saturday. The forecast is calling for sunshine and temperatures nearing 60 degrees, meaning Saturday should be the perfect day to break out the flip flops and pinnies and enjoy a lacrosse tailgate and even better, three lacrosse games that are sure to be some of the most exciting games of the year.

Below is an excerpt from chapter one of The Power of Prayer and Fasting: God's Gateway to Spiritual Breakthroughs" by Ronnie W. Floyd, Senior Pastor of Cross Church.
As a church family, Cross Church is participating in a 21-day time of prayer and fasting called 21 FUTURE. If you are still prayerfully considering joining our 21 day corporate fast, make a commitment today online by clicking here. If you are actively participating in 21 Future, may the words below encourage you throughout the week.
Are you desperate to know God's power and experience spiritual revival?
"There is a way, there is a gateway, and it is the gateway to God's power. That gateway is prayer and fasting.
2 Chronicles 7:14 say, "My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." God wants to act on behalf of His people. But His actions are conditioned on the action of His people. Humility in the presence of His power is what God demands of His children. Spiritual fasting is the means—the once-hidden, unexplored, misunderstood vehicle—by which we humble ourselves before God. I know of no other way to be humbled in His presence. Only when we come to our heavenly Father in His way and on His terms and respond accordingly to His agenda will He unleash His bounty of blessing and pour out His reservoir of supernatural power on our lives.
God's gateway to spiritual breakthrough is praying and fasting. The walls will be crushed, destroyed, and removed, and the power of Good will fall. You can know the power of God via prayer and fasting.
Now is the time. Today is the day."

Scotcheroo Muddy Buddies
I was chatting with my friend Dorothy the other day, and I said, "you know, no one is ever going to believe me when I tell them that I just made THE BEST thing ever… but I did."
I know it feels like I cry wolf a lot– some new recipe is always "the best!!!!" But hey, don't hold it against me ;) . I think it just means I'm passionate about what I do, and that's no crime, right?!
Ok. But really…
These Scotcheroo Muddy Buddies are seriously the most delicious muddy buddies I've ever eaten– and my muddy buddy eating experience is extensive, so I'm really an authority on this topic.
I'm always surprised by the number of people I run into who don't know what a Scotcheroo is. If you're one of those people, let me give you a quick rundown: a Scotcheroo is a kind of rice krispies treat. But instead of marshmallows, it's made up mostly of peanut butter and butterscotch chips melted together with a hefty layer of chocolate on top. They're pretty incredible.
These muddy buddies are just as incredible, but they're ready in half the time and make for even better snack time munching or as perfect treats for entertaining.
Seriously. Don't miss out on these. Make them STAT!!
- 9 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup melted chocolate chips* for drizzle
- Pour the cereal in a very large bowl and set aside.
- Melt down the butterscotch chips and peanut butter until smooth and mixed together (I do this in the microwave, heating for one minute, but you could also use the stove top over LOW heat).
- Mix in 1/2 tsp vanilla.
- Pour the mixture over the cereal. Use a large rubber spatula to mix and coat the cereal in the butterscotch mixture.
- Put the powdered sugar into a gallon-sized ziptop bag. Spoon the coated cereal into the bag. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the cereal in the powdered sugar.
- Pour the cereal out onto a large piece of parchment paper, foil, or silicone mat. Drizzle* with melted chocolate. Let harden before serving.
- Store in airtight container for up to two weeks.
I use chocolate melting candy (like Wilton's or Ghirardeli) for easier melting and faster cooling. I usually place the candy in a ziptop bag, microwave to melt, and then snip a corner to pipe on drizzling. So easy!
Don't miss a bite!

This. IS AMAZING. LOVE!
Scotcheroos are one of my fave kinds of bars! Butterscotch and PB can do no wrong! I actually have a homemade PB recipe that incorporates butterscotch and white chocolate into the blend, so, so good. This is probably the crunchy form of that! For you to say this is the best ever muddy buddy (youve made a lot) that's saying something! pinned
Ok.. put me on the list of not knowing what a Scotcheroo is? This muddy buddies look delicious though! Yum!
I love Scotcheroos and only discovered them a few years ago. These look so good!
Confession: I have never had a scotcheroo and now I fill like I have been deprived of life! These look fantastic…peanut butter and butterscotch can do wrong!
I just think it means that the food you produce and share on your site is absolutely delicious and that you have high standards. I found this recipe on Pinterest and clicked "pin" without thinking twice. I love the combo!
I've heard Dorothy talk about you so many times, but when I found out you were a BYU fan, I knew I needed to get my butt over here stat. I love your blog and your photography is gorgeous.
The Scotcheroo buddies look divine!

Gannon men shut down Cheyney
The Gannon men's basketball team had allowed an average of 71.7 points per game in three straight losses entering Wednesday's PSAC crossover game with Cheyney.
The Golden Knights' defense then made a statement against the Wolves.
Gannon's swarming defense and dominant play on the boards produced its fewest points allowed this season as the Golden Knights beat Cheyney 68-41 in front of 668 fans at Penn State Behrend's Junker Center.
"We've been putting in a lot of work in practice on our defense," Gannon guard Adam Blazek said. "We're not giving up on anything and we know we can do better. We are growing every day and we'll keep plugging away until we have the season we know we can have."
Gannon (7-7) forced 15 turnovers and continued to alter shots as the game went on. Cheyney (2-12) connected on just 12-of-53 (22.6 percent) from the field and collected only four offensive rebounds as the Wolves struggled to get into a rhythm.
"That's what we've been doing all year," Blazek said. "Coach (John) Reilly's defense and rebounding. We focus on it in practice and want to crash the boards each game."
Gannon raced out to a 33-20 lead at halftime behind eight points from Rogerio Livramento.
The Golden Knights had five steals and also dominated the boards in the first 20 minutes, outrebounding Cheyney 24-10. Gannon finished with 52 rebounds, including 38 on defense to keep the Wolves from second-shot opportunities.
"We played with good energy and tried to help each other out," Reilly said. "Cheyney has some really good players, and we knew we had to defend well to force some bad shots. Cheyney had a bad shooting percentage and all of the credit goes to our guys for that low percentage."
A'Darius Porter led Gannon with 13 rebounds, including eight on defense, while Blazek had an all-around solid game with 12 points, seven defensive rebounds and four assists.
"Adam has been tremendous for us all year," Reilly said. "There's a reason he plays the most minutes. When we take him off the floor, there's a big difference, not because he's a good scorer but because he does so many different things. He's an excellent rebounder, he's a good passer and our best deflection guy. He's a solid all-around player that is still getting better."
Girbran Smith and Raphell Thomas-Edwards each had 10 points for Gannon, and C.J. Oldham had eight rebounds.
Deshawn Curtis led Cheyney, which finished with 27 rebounds as a team, with 19 points.

Albuquerque CAO snags $33,000 raiseUPDATED 7:28 PM MDT Nov 01, 2013
Average New Mexican salary about $31,000Video Transcript
ALBUQUERQUE'S CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER... IS NOW MAKING 33-THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE THAN HE USED TO. IT'S A RAISE HE CONSIDERS FAIR... BUT TARGET 7'S LAUREN ZAKALIK TALKED WITH ONE CITY COUNCILOR WHO'S CRYING FOUL. ROYALE, BEFORE THIS RAISE-- C-A-O ROB PERRY WAS MAKING 147-THOUSAND DOLLARS ... NOW, HE'LL BE MAKING 180-THOUSAND DOLLARS. THAT'S ABOUT A 22-PERCENT INCREASE. IT COMES AT A TIME... WHERE SOME CITY EMPLOYEES... ARE ABOUT TO GET... A RAISE OF JUST 1 PERCENT. i grew up in humble beginnings, i had to educate myself, I went to college, i earned 3 degrees, i worked construction jobs, and came up thru the ranks to run exec agencies AND NOW, THE CITY'S CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ROB PERRY SAYS... HE'S GETTING PAID FOR HIS SKILLSET...WITH A THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR RAISE THAT BRINGS HIM TO A 180-THOUSAND DOLLAR SALARY. THE RAISE ALONE ... IS MORE THAN THE AVERAGE NEW MEXICAN'S YEARLY SALARY.. WHICH IS ABOUT 31-THOUSAND DOLLARS. i was shocked by the increase in the salary, when city employees over the last 4 years have taken a decrease in their salary CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ SAYS IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER PERRY DESERVES A RAISE. IT'S ABOUT HOW BIG THE RAISE IS... AND WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE THAT SENDS. MOST CITY EMPLOYEES ARE FACING A ONE PERCENT RAISE. if the employees are making the sacrifice, i think the CAO and others in the city should be making those same sacrifices SANCHEZ ALSO POINTS OUT-- THE RAISE COMES AT A TIME... WHEN PERRY WAS A FINALIST FOR A HIGH-PAYING JOB AS THE HEAD OF NEW MEXICO'S FINANCE AUTHORITY. were you actually serious about taking that new job or was this a tactic to get more money from the city? the prospective of anyone working in an exempt position would be to put an iron in the fire so to speak in case the election didnt work out PERRY SAYS HE NEEDED TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY AND EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS. BUT SAYS HIS CHOICE TO STAY WITH THE CITY, IN SPITE OF THE OTHER LUCRATIVE OPPORTUNITY... SHOULD SPEAK TO HIS LOVE FOR THE JOB. PERRY ALSO MENTIONS THAT CITY MANAGERS IN OTHER SOUTHWESTERN CITIES MAKE IN THE TWO-HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR RANGE. AND THAT WHEN HE WAS HIRED, HE MADE LESS THAN HIS PREDECESSOR. HOWEVER WITH HIS NEW RAISE, HE APPEARS TO BE THE HIGHEST PAID C-A-O EVER IN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. PERRY'S JOB AS C-A-O IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER CITIES CALL THEIR CITY MANAGERS. A NEUROLOGIST SAYS HE DOESN'T

You're running 3.1.9 I see, from past posts.
That version is subject to this bug in the setuid code:
This bugfix is pending for the not-yet-released 3.1.10 tree, and is
already present in the fully-released 3.2.3 version of spamassassin.
I'm not 100% sure if that's the cause, but it seems quite likely. (note:
there's a LOT of unrelated stuff on that bugreport)

Raymond Laflamme
Executive Director
Raymond Laflamme is originally from Québec City, where he studied Physics as an undergraduate at the Université Laval. After surviving Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, he completed his PhD on aspects of general relativity and quantum cosmology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) under the direction of Stephen Hawking. Laflamme and his colleague Don Page are responsible for having changed Hawking's mind on the reversal of the direction of time in a contracting universe (see Hawking's book, A Brief History of Time).
From 1988-1992, Laflamme held a Killam post-doctoral fellowship at UBC, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge. From 1992-2001, Dr. Laflamme worked as a research scientist at Los Alamos Research Laboratory, where his interests shifted from cosmology to quantum computing.
Since the mid-1990's, Laflamme has developed theoretical approaches to quantum error correction, and has given experimental demonstrations of these techniques. In collaboration with Emmanuel Knill, Laflamme gave conditions for quantum error correcting codes, and established the fault-tolerance threshold, thereby showing that quantum computing systems could be practically useful. He went on to perform the first experimental demonstration of quantum error correction. With colleagues, he has developed a blueprint for a quantum information processor using linear optics, and devised and implemented new methods to make quantum information robust against corruption in both cryptographic and computational settings.
In 2001, Laflamme returned to Canada as the founding Director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), and as a founding member of the Perimeter Institute For Theoretical Physics. Dr. Laflamme was the Scientific Director of QuantumWorks (2000-2011), and has been Director of the Quantum Information Program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) since 2003, and a CIFAR Fellow since 2001. Dr. Laflamme holds the Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information, and is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo.
Dr. Laflamme's group holds the world record for the largest number of quantum bits manipulated using universal control.
Quantum information: Understanding the impact of manipulating information using the laws of quantum mechanics.
Robust quantum control: Developing methods to protect quantum information against noise through quantum control and quantum error correction for quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
Experimental quantum information processing: Implementing ideas and concepts of quantum information processing using nuclear magnetic resonance and developing scalable methods to control quantum systems.
Quantum cryptography: Theoretical and experimental investigations focussed on using the laws of quantum mechancis to transmit secure information, in particular using satellite communication.
Physical systems for quantum information processing: Developing "blueprints" for quantum information processors using various approaches such as linear optics quantum computing (LOQC).
Simulation of quantum systems: Finding ways to simulate quantum systems using quantum information processors.

You may feel that your emotions are shaky and unpredictable today, which can lead to tension and conflict in all areas of your life. Whether you feel stressed from a hectic schedule or run down because of your fluctuating emotions, you may find it beneficial to create a soothing escape for yourself today. Sitting quietly in meditation, use your imagination to create a peaceful environment. You might choose to visualize an ocean beach, a quiet forest, or a secluded room filled with flowers and comfortable furnishings. In your mind's eye, see yourself happily ensconced in the serene atmosphere and allow waves of peace to wash over you. The more detailed you can make this vision, the more profoundly you will feel the changes in your mood and mind-set.
Creating a sacred space in our minds provides the same relaxation benefits that an actual escape from our tumultuous circumstances would. Our emotional distress can often make us feel trapped by our circumstances, but we can still enjoy a needed escape by creating an imaginary sacred space. By imagining that we are in a peaceful environment and putting our full attention on the vision in our mind, our body relaxes, stress melts away, our nerves calm, and our breathing slows. When we are ready to come back to conscious awareness, we feel fully rested and refreshed just as we would from an actual physical escape from our responsibilities. Your imagination can be the gateway to a sacred space that will soothe your mind and restore your inner peace today.

Race Specific Patents, Commercialization, and Intellectual Property Policy

This paper introduces the concept of race specific patents through an archival analysis of published patents which are interpreted textually and through the lens of intellectual property policy. Race specific patents are patents for inventions that are aimed at racially or ethnically defined markets. The paper documents these patents, categorizes them, and uses the tools of economic and critical theory to understand them from the perspective of intellectual property policy.

Mmm, Rita, this sauce is AMAZING!!! It tastes spicy, without being too hot to handle and there also is tartness from the vinegar. The tomatoes, bell peppers and onion go so well together and the herbs add a wonderful distinct background flavour. All in all this is a perfect combination of flavours and just what you need to have in your pantry. It will kick up any meal and really make it special. I had it with rice today and plan on using it in many casseroles and pasta dishes to come. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this gem from your kitchen with me! It will be treasured!
WooHoo, this stuff is hot, hot, hot! I love it. It has a beautiful color and a wonderful taste. I wasn't sure the Chipotle Peppers in Adobo would be hot enough, so I added two Jalapeno's. Yikes, I maybe should have only added one. I just love Garlic, so I added more garlic too.
Can't wait for the family to try this salsa. Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe!
