Big drug sweep going on in St. AlbansThe Associated Press | September 17,2013ST. ALBANS - About 80 law enforcement officers are arresting people in St. Albans, as part of a large drug sweep called "Operation Northern Lights."
The Vermont Drug Task Force says it's the third sweep of its kind this year. Previous sweeps were in Bennington and Springfield.
A news conference on the drug sweep has been scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the St. Albans Barracks. Police said in a news release they were attempting to take into custody 50 people on charges of distributing and selling drugs.

Religious rituals, traditions and taboos can sometimes look random and insane to those who don't follow that particular holy scripture. Sometimes it can look like God was just making a bunch of shit up to see if people would comply.
But some of these traditions came from a time when they afforded real practical benefits, and not just because people decided to do whatever a book told them to do. For example ...
5 Animal Sacrifice Made Herding Easier
We don't care how open-minded you are, if you came home one day and found your roommate wearing a black robe and ritualistically sacrificing a goat in your living room, you'd get the hell out of there. If there's one thing that marks a religion as being primitive or savage or just "weird," it's a guy in face paint chanting while he stabs a sheep in the heart.
This is pretty creepy, too.
So Why Do They Do It?
On the surface, it seems like animal sacrifice is a pretty pointless, even counterproductive ritual for ancient humans to develop. If we've just managed to domesticate some walking milk factories that are great for pulling plows, then what's the point of killing a bunch of them?
Well, apparently it's a holdover from when humans first learned the art of selective breeding. If you're an upstart farming civilization, you can't just get a bunch of animals together and let them breed willy-nilly. To maintain a strong herd, you need to weed out the undesirables and thin the herd so that they don't overrun the place. Academics who study this kind of thing note that communities that practice animal sacrifice usually do it at the time of year when it's ideal to cull the herd (that is, to kill off some of the male animals so you don't have to feed them through the winter).
"Tons of sex, or death? Can't we compromise?"
As another expert explains, it also forced ancient herders to get good at selective breeding. One thing these ceremonies all have in common is that they demand a perfect animal -- which requires figuring out how to consistently make them. Which is to say, it's easier just to make a ritual out of something like this than it is to exhaustively explain to each new generation of illiterate farmers how herd culling works.
So the next time you're invited to an awkward animal sacrifice, it should put you at ease to know that you're witnessing part of a long agrarian tradition, no matter how creepy the guy looks wearing a goat skull on his head.
On a related note ...
4 Pork and Beef Taboos Saved Lives
We think it's so weird that Hindus consider cows sacred that we sarcastically refer to things as "sacred cows" when we mean that a person or subject is arbitrarily off-limits to criticism. In the West, we tend to only think of cows as sacred because you can get like a hundred quarter-pounders off one. Again, it seems like such an arbitrary thing to prevent people from chowing down on them, yet there are more than 800 million people in India who would think you were some kind of weirdo if you so much as showed up to their house in a Hamburglar costume.
"Wait, you're all Hindu? Guess I'll have to eat these steaks by myself ..."
Not that they're the only ones -- we could say the same for pigs in the Middle East. They're famously off-limits to practitioners of Judaism and Islam, despite the fact that they are also Earth's most delicious animal. Hell, we can prove scientifically that pigs are good food: They're one of nature's most efficient plant-to-meat factories, converting 35 percent of the plants they eat into meat, as opposed to the measly 7 percent that cows give us. With all their benefits over other forms of livestock, it seems like they were designed by God expressly to wind up on our plates ... but more than a billion people aren't allowed to eat them. Were their religious leaders just being dicks?
Not really.
So Why Do They Do It?
Indians used to eat beef, once upon a time. But India has a unique climate. They get monsoons -- periods of very intense rain that turn the ground into a sludge. That made cows really important as beasts of burden, as they're the best to farm that kind of environment. So important, in fact, that going ahead and eating them instead of strapping a plow to them could have been a death sentence for your family.
You can take my burgers after you take my goddamn life, you bastards!
So some researchers now think that for Indians who may have been short-sighted and started craving hamburgers as soon as the monsoon season went away, it was easier to reign in those desires when it was decreed that the cow was a sacred animal. It's literally your proverbial "teach a man to fish" scenario, applied to a T-bone.
Likewise, archaeology shows us that pigs actually were raised for meat in the Middle East centuries ago. As agriculture began to develop, it changed the ecosystem. As difficult as it is to imagine, the Middle East used to be heavily forested, but after the population exploded, humans changed the environment. Since pigs are much harder to raise in a desert (they require a lot of mud and water to thrive), the practice of trying to fatten up a pork dinner became a serious burden.
Would you give up pork without a divine declaration?
So whether you believe that the bacon ban was a decree from God or just shrewd farmers, either way, those who kicked pigs to the curb thrived much better in the arid climate. That is, they did it for the same reason that humans ultimately do everything: Because it worked.

My ds if 4 weeks today. We had a bad start to breastfeeing in the hospital after a c-section (baby was breech) and I'm really struggling. We have a bad latch but I am trying at every (daytime) feed to get him on, which usually involves much frustration and screaming on his part but he now eventually gets on, but often shallowly. At this stage he feeds for 15 - 30 minutes on one side, (which is better than the last two weeks of no latch at all) but I don't think he is getting much as the test I did at a breastfeeding clinic showed he only took an ounce in half an hour. I then feed him expressed milk, top this up with formula, and then pump. This whole process takes 90 minutes, then we start the cycle again 90 minutes later.
The good news is that my milk supply is slowly coming up and I am on a course of domperidone. And he didn't used to latch at all. But I am not sure how long I can do this as I'm just getting more and more tired and depressed. Has anyone else had this double bad latch/low supply problem. How did you get through it?

Most of us go through life doing our best to be morally sound, or at least well-meaning. We may fall short every once in a while, but our parents taught us right from wrong, and it's going to take a lot to make us lose sight of that.
Well, unless you run into one of the many seemingly inconsequential things that can turn you into the human embodiment of evil. It turns out none of us are safe, thanks to stuff like ...
6Your Own Facial Expressions
Everyone knows that happiness makes you smile, anger makes you frown and louder-than-expected farts make you raise one eyebrow and point at the guy next to you. Well, scientists have found that our facial muscles are actually controlling your emotions more than you think. If that's not weird enough, Nicole Kidman's weird new face is indirectly responsible for the discovery.
Botox has been making women look sexier since the 1980s, assuming you're sexually attracted to smooth skin and people with awesome poker faces. See, in addition to firming up facial skin until wrinkles disappear, Botox also firms up everything else on your face, until people can't tell whether you're smiling warmly or weeping in terror. But hey, it's not like conveying emotion is your job or anything.
She's just a surprised as you are. You can see it in her eyes.
Well, according to a recent study, injecting Botox into your face not only makes you look like you have no emotions, it actually inhibits your ability to feel them at all. We tend to think of the relationship between our emotions and our face as a one-way street, but apparently your brain likes to check in with your facial muscles before deciding what emotion it should feeling at any given moment. Even if you have every reason to be delighted, if your brain checks in and you're not smiling, you'll still be unhappy. We need a complex series of interactions to occur involving our body, hormones and brain to truly feel something like happiness. And it turns out the part involving our facial muscles is way more important than previously thought.
Researchers found that the people who'd frozen their faces with Botox had lost the ability to feel strong emotions, or in some cases, pretty much any emotion. The study participants didn't even feel affected by "emotionally charged" videos. We're going to assume they showed them this:
If you've had Botox, this video bores you because you're dead inside.
This is all good news for those of us who haven't yet injected poison into our faces. The study, and others like it suggest that smiling when you're down will actually make you feel happy. If you're one of the millions of women (and some men) who sought the fountain of youth, and ended up with the internal and external emotional range of the T-1000 ... well, at least you aren't that kid who got slapped on the back while making a stupid face in fifth grade. He probably needs help tying his shoes by now.
Around 80 to 90 percent of people reading this will consume caffeine in some form today. If you're one of them, you know the drill: You feel like an extra in a zombie flick until you get your fix, and you're ready to conquer the world when it's finally coursing through your veins. Of course, you'd also know that drill if you were addicted to cocaine, heroin or any other hard drug. But your caffeine addiction isn't a problem, right?
She isn't about to suck that dick for an iced mocha.
Actually, studies show that caffeine addiction can be like a tightrope walk for your sanity. One espresso shot too many on your coffee break, and you risk flying off the handle into a barely controlled rage. Skip your coffee break, and you'll find that you're just as irritable, with the added bonus of flulike symptoms. It's a vicious cycle that is starting earlier than ever, with increasing numbers of elementary school children consuming caffeine each year.
That's because caffeine actually amplifies your stress level. The same properties that make you feel five different shades of alright in normal quantities can easily push you right past that jittery feeling until you're having a nervous breakdown for no goddamned reason. This happens because your body doesn't know what's making your heart race. It could be a second cup of coffee or a masked gunman. All it knows is that when your heart starts freaking out like this, that usually means it's go time.
So it starts pumping stress hormones into the feedback loop now racing back and forth between your brain and your heart. Next thing you know, that inconsequential email you were just going to dash off to the boss has suddenly become the most important thing you've ever done. You'd think that your brain would put the brakes on at this point, but unfortunately it's too busy trying to figure out what you're going to do when you get fired for choosing the wrong synonym for "motivated."
Incentivized? Driven? Fuck this, I quit!
So that cup of coffee that's supposed to get you through the workday can also make you think the workday is impossible to get through. Then there's the fact that according to studies, everyone from teenagers to prisoners is quicker to express anger after consuming caffeine, and you've got a recipe for disaster. Lawyers have actually tried (and sometimes succeeded) in using caffeine intoxication as a defense for murder and running people over. The U.S. Army even recognizes its very anger-inducing effects.
Still not as crazy as the "Twinkie Defense."
Before you decide to quit the caffeine habit once and for all, you should know that you're still going to be an asshole. At least for a few months, anyway. Caffeine is a drug, and you get withdrawal symptoms from it just like anything else that's addictive. When an alcoholic wakes up in the morning with the shakes and pours himself a highball, we judge him but how many of you can't function in the morning before your cup (or three) of coffee? Those withdrawal symptoms can then lead to ... you guessed it: high irritability, quickness to anger, depression, and anxiety if you have even one less serving of caffeine a day.

How to Grow
Succession sow starting 1-2 weeks before last frost. Beets prefer fertile, weed-free soil for formation of large roots. Thin young seedlings to one every two inches, then pull out every other beet to enjoy at the baby stage. Leave later sowings in ground for harvest through November, then pick and store in plastic bags in fridge, where they'll last in great shape for months.

- Will Continuous Corn Have Problems in 2011?
- 2011 field conditions
More About:
The 2010 season was a disappointing one for corn growers in many parts of Illinois, says University of Illinois Extension agronomist Emerson Nafziger. With a statewide average yield of only 157 bu./acre, just 4.2 bu. higher than the U.S. average, and the third-worst yield in the past decade, many Illinois producers are hoping for a more bountiful 2011.
Over the past 10 years, the Illinois corn yield has averaged 13.7 bu./acre above the U.S. national average, and has been below the national average only once (by 4.9 bu. in 2005) and above it by as much as 25.1 bu. (2008).
"The major problem in 2010 was heavy rainfall in June that resulted in standing water and saturated soils, which in turn resulted in nitrogen (N) loss and damage to root systems which could not be repaired," Nafziger says. "As a result, affected fields and parts of fields ended up with shortages of both N and water, problems made worse by high temperatures and early maturity, and in some cases by dry weather during the latter part of the grainfilling period."
Corn following corn was particularly hard hit in 2010, and there were numerous reports of larger yield penalties for corn following corn compared to corn following soybean than most have seen for a number of years, he adds.
In research trials conducted since 2003, Nafziger saw similar results. He has been comparing continuous corn, corn rotated with soybean, and corn following either corn or soybean in a corn-corn-soybean rotation.
Nafziger says that the rule of thumb for many years has been that corn following corn yields about 10% less than corn following soybean. This difference has often been less than that in some recent comparisons, but he said it varies depending on the year.
Across four northern Illinois sites, the yield penalty for continuous corn was about 11% in 2008-2009, but 19% in 2010. Second-year corn in the corn-corn-soybean rotation yielded only 5% less than corn following soybean in 2008-2009, and 10% less in 2010, indicating that having soybeans even two years ago helps lessen the yield penalty for corn following corn. At the two southern Illinois locations, with considerably lower yields, the penalty for continuous compared to rotated corn was substantially less, measured either as bushels or as a percentage, he notes.

Philadelphia Phillies (62-69) at Atlanta Braves (74-57)
Roy Halladay (8-7, 3.88) vs. Mike Minor (7-10, 4.71)
Time: 7:35, Turner Field
Weather: Mostly sunny, 82
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Jimmy Rollins is in the lineup tonight. And how do you feel about that? He was given a talk-to by Charlie Manuel about once again failing to run out a pop up in the Mets series. Manuel said Rollins "manned up." It's unlikely he'll ever learn from his mistakes, but Charlie probably should have benched him a game just to send a message. Not that it matters, but with a team of youngsters surrounding Rollins, he should be showing some more leadership qualities.
I've gotten into arguments with people about the whole "leadership" thing, but I do feel it exists. He is the elder statesman and players look up to him. Rollins' longevity has made him one of the best shortstops in the game, and over a long period. But when he has these letdowns, it drains an already struggling team. Manuel said it himself, that he believes it could affect the rest of the team. My thought is, if you're going to make millions playing a kids game, you should be going hard most of the time. Those few times he completely dogs it will always stand out.
And still no Domonic Brown, not sure what the issue is. If it's his knee, it was clearly worse than he was letting on. But more injuries are stunting his growth.
LINEUP: Rollins SS, Frandsen 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Wigginton LF, Mayberry CF, Kratz C, Martinez RF, Halladay P

Thank god Jimmy pop up is leading off.
Too bad no other team will eat that contract.
Just another bad deal that was so unneeded.
Oh well GM AFW has seen it all coming from a mile away.
Still waiting on Phillies management to offer me Ruben Minayas job.
Very fair deal — in fact Rollins is outperforming the contract this year.
Why do we see .130 hitting Martinez in the lineup again?
Doc has given up 7 base runners in 4 innings, formula for defeat if he keeps this up and with 3 walks already, it doesn't look good.
Eric Kratz is a tough guy, not a posey. And I don't know but I think Halladay is sick or something, he hasn't thrown a 90mph pitch yet and looks redder than his hat.
Something is not right.
Doc + Atlanta humidity and heat = early exit. Man the Braves are spanking us this year. Get them next time, Doc.
Doc's inconsistancy has been a real thorn this year. Hopefully, the Phils can come back on this one but he really dug the whole deep.
Cmon boys. Take the lead and tomahawk these Braves.
Huh – I was just about to post when will Uggla get on his tear? He usually rides this horse for almost a quarter of the season to bring his average up to .250-.260 with close to 30 some hrs… and shlooom!
Use the leash now Cholly, dont wait, now…
I don't know what there is left to "see" from mini-mart.
Sweet baby Jesus!
Kratz is strong like bull! made that great play on hideous Jones and just tied it against Kimbtel of all people.
This is aomething that the kool aid drinkers and Ruben Minaya dont grasp.
If you lost one of your primma donnas or sacred cows.
There would be another player.
Whether Glavis , Kratz, Fransend etc etc
There wouldnt be a hole at SS or 1b or 2b.
You have to have these guys to win and be successful.
And hoarding big contracts for old guys is a recipe for disaster.
Way to go Kratz!
Yea Brooks who is left in our pen?
Oh brother… lets just hope that Lindaboom goes 1 batter only….
Ive been waiting all year for Jose Mesa to come in.
I am hoping with the espanded rosters it will happen.
Who has a better pen in extras?
Thank you.
With the Mets win really need this win.
Come on Paplebomb.
Thank you Andy of Mayberry.
Wild card down to 8 games.
I am bringing in Jim Mora to talk to the team.
JMJ is learning how to hit righties lately.
I can smell it, I can taste it… Chicken Dinner!
a little salt, seasoning…
Brooks, You can count on Papelbon to make you late for the Chicken Dinner, he is the slowest pitcher on earth. He almost always gets you the dinner, and it's always cold by the time you get it.
HInske is my favorite opposition PH of all time…
JMJ and Kratz way to go!
You know that was one damn sweet win. I love it.
Picked up a game on a lot of teams in the WC race tonight (almost a perfect scoreboard for us)… Great night. Great way to start this series. Kratz standing up Jones was quite a statement play. There is still fight left in this team.
Chuck, that was stupendous! Jones gave it everything he had and Kratz took it all. What a play.
Watching live from London… HELL YES PHILLIES! JMJ!!!!
Winner winner chicken dinner.
Navy plays at 9 am tomorrow in Ireland.
Gonna be a good one.
Awesome win! Go away Braves! The realist in me says the season is over; the dreamer in me says we are only 8 out of the WC. Cue the Basil Hayden and let's enjoy the ride.

Sure, buying a gift card might seem like the "perfect" present … "If it's a store I go to, then yes." 2) "The ones that I use right away are clothing stores." "I waste them. I lose them." "They get forgotten." Consumer Reports' Money Adviser says it's important to think twice before giving a gift card. "Gift cards are definitely better than they used to be. New regulations have eliminated some fees, so you can't be charged if you don't use it within the first year. And cards can't expire for five years." But even with new protections, there are still drawbacks.
Mandy Walker"The new rules apply to merchant and bank-issued cards. So if you have a reloadable card or one that's not marketed as a gift card, you're going to want to pay close attention to those terms." Bank-issued cards are convenient because you can use them almost anywhere, but they come with fees. This Visa Gift Card from U.S. Bank costs 3.95 if you get it from a branch or 6.95 if you buy it online. And after 12 months you're charged a 2.50 a month inactivity fee if you don't use it. Even charity gift cards come with fees.
Mandy Walker "We found one that charged a 4.95 transaction fee and it charged another three percent to transfer the funds." But if a gift card is still the way you want to go, retail store cards usually have little or no fees. You just want to make sure the person you are buying for likes to shop in the store. Mandy Walker "When you're giving a gift card, you want to include the terms and the policies, as well as the receipt, which might be needed if the card is lost or stolen." But better yet, why not give cash or a check? That way people can shop wherever they want, whenever they want, no strings attached. ."

Double Basil Mussels with Pasta Shells
Recipe Summary
Recipe Servings: 8 portions
3 tablespoons Lucini® Premium Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil®
1 cup basil leaves, 1/3 roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cracked peppercorns
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 pounds mussels, debearded and scrubbed
1 pound conchiglie pasta shells or other pasta shapes (We recommend Delverde Pasta)
1 jar Lucini® Tuscan Harvest Plum Tomatoes, Diced Peeled
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, cook until al dente, drain and set aside. While the pasta boils, cook the mussels.
Heat the olive oil, chopped basil, red pepper flakes and cracked pepper in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mussels, cook for 30 seconds and then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until all of the mussels open, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels from the skillet and set aside. Stir the tomatoes and salt into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Add mussels and any accumulated juices back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta and whole basil leaves, using tongs to toss together.

State Supreme Court hears arguments in prayer death case
Couple convicted for not seeking medical help for daughter
A state attorney told the Wisconsin Supreme Court a couple caused their daughter's death when they prayed over while she slowly died of diabetes.
Dale and Leilani Neumann were convicted in 2009 of reckless homicide in the death of their 11-year-old daughter, Madeline. Their attorneys have asked the Supreme Court to reverse their convictions, arguing state law protects prayer healers and the statutes aren't clear on when a situation becomes so serious they must seek medical help.
Assistant Attorney General Maura Whelan told the justices Tuesday parents who pray over an ailing child can't be charged with child abuse but their immunity doesn't apply if the child dies.
She said the Neumanns placed Madeline at a substantial risk of death and had to have known they crossed the line.

/ Coverting Expiring CRP to Grazing Considerations
Loading Tree...
Over the years, your fields enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) have supported the growth of valuable grasses and forbs with root systems that have held the soil and build up of organic matter. Consider developing a sustainable grazing system on your expiring CRP fields to maintain soil condition while returning the field to profitable use.
The following elements should be determined when developing a grazing plan on CRP.
Current production
Current forage quality
Determine the appropriate stocking rate
Grazing Management
Match periods of livestock nutritional needs to the
growth periods of the predominant plants in the CRP fields.
Where to get help
Contact your local Natural Resources Conservation Service office for technical assistance in determining current forage production and in development of grazing plan alternatives as well as financial assistance options.

When a teacher made a reservation for his/her school, the teacher was sent a guide to use in preparing students to come to Presidio La Bahia. The teachers and students were not charged an admission fee and were given a lecture about the history of Goliad in the 234-year-old Our Lady of Loreto Chapel.
A re-enactor was on hand to do demonstrations and display equipment from the early 1800s. As an added incentive for the schools to bring their students, the Presidio La Bahia Foundation paid a portion of the cost of the transportation. Sixty-five schools from around the state brought 4,311 students to Goliad because of the program, which is the only one of its kind in Texas.
Most of the schools also visited the Goliad State Park.

Welch talks energy efficiency in RutlandJanuary 07,2013Rep. Peter Welch traveled to Rutland on Monday and outlined several priorities he will pursue in the upcoming session, including a proposal to help people make their homes more energy efficient.
The Demcoratic congressman, speaking at the future Green Mountain Power Energy Innovation Center at 68 Merchants Row, formerly the Eastman Building, also proposed assisting owners of commercial buildings in making their facilities more energy efficient as well as the need to push the federal government in the same direction.
In order to implement these initiatives, three pieces of legislation would be vital, Welch said. First, the HOMES Act would provide help to homeowners wishing to retrofit their homes for energy efficiency, he said.
Focusing on commercial buildings, Welch spoke of the need to reform the 179D Commercial Tax Credit.
"This is something that's really important to our building owners, especially the larger buildings, to invest in energy efficiency," Welch said. "Again, it's the jobs, the made in America manufacturing, it's the climate change benefits and saving money benefits."
Finally, Welch outlined Energy Saving Performance Contracts, which would allow the federal government and private sector to partner and implement energy efficient upgrades - at no cost to the taxpayer.
Welch, a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, will continue his tour in Montpelier later this week and as well as in stops Chittenden County where he will outline health care and telecommunication issues.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

A 58-year-old Minnesota man has been sentenced to 30 years in an Illinois prison for a decades-old cold case killing.
Bruno Salgado of Ramsey, Minn., was sentenced Friday. He was convicted in a June bench trial of the 1982 murder of 28-year-old Ismael Solano. He had been on the run since Solano's shooting death on Chicago's North Side. Detectives got a warrant for Salgado's arrest in 1982 after witnesses identified him as the gunman. But police say he fled to Mexico before he could be arrested.
The case was featured on the TV show "America's Most Wanted" in December 2006, and police say they discovered Salgado was living in Minnesota. Minneapolis police arrested him in 2010.

Hearty Beef and Lentil Stew Recipe
December 03, 2012
Nothing will make a cold winter day feel better than a home-cooked stew. Executive Sous Chef, Bill Sallade at Tempe Mission Palms, created this recipe that is perfect for Sunday dinner, and will make even better Monday left-overs.
Hearty Beef and Lentil Stew with Brown Nut Ale Broth and Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes
Beef and Lentil Stew:
8oz. New York Strip (Char Grilled then Diced)
3 Tbl. Rendered Bacon Fat
1 cup small diced Yellow Onion
½ cup small diced Carrot
½ cup small diced Celery
1Tbl. minced Garlic
1 sprig fresh Rosemary
2 sprig fresh Thyme
1 cup brown lentils (par-cooked)
1ea. Bottle Newcastle brown nut ale
1 Cup Demi Glace (Pre-prepared)
Salt + Pepper (to Taste)
Whipped Yukon Potatoes:
3 Cups Diced Yukon Gold potatoes
½ Cup Whole Butter
¼ Cup Cream
Salt + Pepper (To Taste)
Sear the grill marked and diced beef with bacon fat in heavy sauce pot for 3 minutes then add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes or until onions are translucent. De-glaze the pot with the bottle of Newcastle beer and let reduce by half. After beer has reduced add the prepared demi glace, herbs, and pre-cooked lentils let simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until beef is tender and desired consistency is reached. (Remove sprigs of herbs once cooking process is finished). Finish with salt and pepper to taste.
For potatoes bring 1 quart water to boil, add potatoes, and cook until for tender. Strain well, then add butter, cream, salt, and pepper whip everything together well.
To serve fill cast iron skillet with stew. Place whipped potatoes in piping bag with large star pastry tip. Pipe potatoes onto stew and place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown. Serve hot.

Staff Report
GREENSBORO — Summer Music from Greensboro will present violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson, Vermont's first family of music, joined by Montpelier flutist Karen Kevra, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, at the downtown United Church of Christ.

The City of Mill Valley would like to advise commuters of two traffic-related issues that may impact Mill Valley residents.
BART Strike: The effect of the strike may result in increased traffic congestion throughout much of the Bay Area as transportation services are disrupted. In Mill Valley, we anticipate that East Bay residents may use HWY 101 to avoid traffic congestion on the Bay Bridge. This may impact commuters coming into and out of town and could impact surface streets near HWY 101.New Signal at Tennessee Valley and Shoreline Highway: We have received reports that the new signal at this intersection is causing considerable back-ups and delays for motorists heading south, out of Mill Valley to HWY 101. While this signal is out of the City's limits, City staff have been in communication with staff of the County of Marin and Caltrans. They are aware of the problem and Caltrans technicians are working on synchronizing the light timing with the traffic demands.Plan Ahead and Consider Transportation Alternatives: The City advises that commuters plan ahead and add extra time to their travel plans. Carpool matches can be found by visiting the 511 Rideshare page on www.511.org. Transportation alternatives that may be effective include telecommuting, changing work schedules, and alternative modes of transportation, such as biking. Click here for a bike map of Mill Valley, and here for the MCBC Map. Residents can also find alternative transportation options through Google Maps. Type in "Mill Valley" and click on "Get Directions." Choose routes by car, public transit, walking and bicycling.
Alerts related to the strike can be found here: http://alert.511.org/

Youkin' for four more years! & Autograph Stories
The thing about blogging is everyone reports on articles that other people have already written. I've slowly been realizing that, but Rockpile Rant had a blog a few days ago about it. The cool things about blogs though, is that you can incorporate your opinion into it any way you want. When I write these, it's pretty much like I'm thinking aloud.
20 Comments
Slow deep breaths – The Red Sox and Tek are talking…..The Red Sox and Tek are talking!!!!! I think I'm going to go broke sending Theo fruit baskets! Thanks for the link to your articles on MLB Center – I've bookmarked the site!
Shout out to Emma! Don't give up on journalism just yet you! Yes newspapers are having to adapt to a new environment but those same newspaper people are writing the same pieces just putting them on the internet. There will always be mechanics and plumbers and for that matter journalists! Learning one method should not stop you from appreciating another. It's like go ahead learn street slang and ebonics and texting lingo but don't shy away from proper format knowledge too! Whew, I'm glad I inspired your autograph memories but don't go getting hit by any cars! Great stories too.
glad you guys are re-signing your players, or talking with them at least.. it just wouldn't be the same rivalry without those same core players on each side. i'm looking forward to that rivalry especially this year.
mlblogs is pretty awesome in the connections and inspiration as you said. i still haven't gotten an autograph yet.. i'm way too lazy to beat all the other people pining for one lolz.. but i may actually make an effort this season, we'll see🙂
V – http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com
Dom DiMaggio had 2 brothers in the majors (you probably already knew that), and there's this great picture of all three of them together when they were (on different teams) all in the majors together. I'm not sure where to find it though.
JD Drew also had/has 2 brothers in the majors. Again, not sure why I'm pointing this out to you as you probably also already know this. But sadly the Drew brothers did not all play in the majors at once…that would have been cool.
And I totally support your journalism dream…I recently decided I was going to be a sportswriter, so we're sort of in the same boat. And I read somewhere that the New York Times might be going bankrupt. I hope it's just a rumor. But you're already a good blogger, and journalism and sports blogging are kind of similar except journalism is more structured, so your dream isn't out of reach at all!
And Scott Boras screws everyone over. He's one person I love to hate.
Great story. I hope Varitex comes back to B oston. I don't want torip down my 'Tex poster like I did with Manny.
Julia: I'm so excited!!! I have brownies on stand by!!
Tommy: I won't give up on journalism! I promise!!!!! I will definitely try and not to get hit by cars🙂
Vanessa: Good luck getting an autograph next year, they're so hard to get! I just got lucky that time lol. Can't wait for the rivalry!
Diamondback: I love the whole brothers in baseball thing– I like the connections between Dimaggio and Drew. Brothers, right fielders… last names beginning with D (okay, that was lame).
Bigpapi: Don't ever tear down that poster unless he goes to the Yankees! If he comes back, I'm making brownies!!
Yeah, there are a lot of brother pairs in baseball, but not a lot of triumvirates. Although all of the DiMaggio brothers played outfield, none of the Drews play remotely the same position (JD in right, Stephen at short, Tim was a pitcher)…I can't think of any other families with 3 brothers in the majors except the Alous.
Why do those guys in your class talk about Damon anyway? He's one of the worst center fielders I've seen play. He's made maybe 3 catches in the 10 or 15 chances I've seen. If they want to brag about something, brag about how much money they want. They get the new stadium from the city lease-free, and spent more money than the D-Backs do total on their free agent conquests this off-season. And they need 4 billion more dollars to finish the new stadium with less seats than the old one. not to mention, there was nothing wrong with the old one. It seemed to need a few renovations, but it wasn't completely horrible. The Steinbrenners are really too much…
I like your blog too, it's really funny and I love how passionate you are about your team!!
Your stories remind me so much of myself when I was your age (jeez, that makes me sound ancient). When I was in high school, my friend and I used to tell our parents we were going to the library and instead drive (she had a car) to the Bronx to Yankee Stadium. We'd get there two hours early and stand by the railing calling out to the players hoping they'd notice us. There wasn't any security in those days so it was easier. So much fun. I hope you guys re-sign Varitek since you really want him back. I do have to agree with Diamondback: Boras is an equal opportunity screwer!
Diamondback: Thanks😀. And the Yankee Stadium was built in 1923… sure it was old but it's not like it was falling apart. It seems kind of unnecessary like you said. Plus, I didn't get to go to the old one. The reason that they're so obsessed with Johnny Damon is because he was my absolute favorite player when he was on the Red Sox. I loved everything about him and pretty much worshipped him. And when he was traded to the Yankees… well… I'm not allowed to forget it😦.
Jane: My friend and I were THIS close to driving up to Tampa for Game 7 of the 2008 ALCS… but we didn't have enough time to get our stuff before my parents got back… plus we had no money.
I love Kevin Youklis. His batting stance always cracks me up. And I definitely read about Varitek meeting with the Red Sox tonight. I was totally stoked. The man is completely a born leader, phenomenal with the game, and can only be pictured wearing a Red Sox jersey. I hope they keep him. I definitely don't have an autographed ball, but for the last home game at Coors Field, the players walk around and throw things out and I yelled out Ryan Speier's name and he threw me some rally towels. I was definitely more excited than I should have been. I also teared up when I watched the movie Miracle (about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team), so… ya know, I definitely get that.
Youklis is a GREAT guy. I think it's a good deal too. You are soo lucky that you got an autograph! I don't have any😦 Someday, I would like to get at least one autograph. Overall, great entry! It's original and creative🙂
Emily: His batting stance is great!! That's so cool that you got one of the rally towels from Ryan Speier's name! I love yelling at players
Hyun Young: I really do consider myself lucky to have an autograph… I think it's a lot harder than people make it out to be. I hope you get one in the very near future!
Hey, Elizabeth …
The signing of Kevin Youkilis by the Red Sox was a great move, just like their signing of Dustin Pedroia … That seems to be the trend in baseball — teams signing their superstar young players to long-term deals at a cost "less" than what they would get when they become free-agents !!! … Also, it keeps the Yankees / Red Sox rivalry more interesting when both teams have great players in their lineups !!! … But, then again, the "rivalry" will always be interesting no matter what players are on each teams roster !!! … It's also good news for Boston fans that owner John Henry will be meeting with Jason Varitek [one-on-one] … When Henry was asked, "what is the status of the relationship with Scott Boras?", on the MLB Hot Stove program, Henry responded, "what relationship?"; and, then said, "Maybe I shouldn't comment on that" !!! … So, that says a lot about what's going on between the Red Sox and Scott Boras !!! … But, in the end, I do think the Sox will sign Varitek, because he does mean a lot to the team; and, there just are not many other catching options on the free-agent market for Boston to sign at this late date !!! … I liked your autograph stories; but, please, avoid running into the middle of streets to get these autographs !!! … I was [lol] at that story; and, you did get the autograph, safe and sound, which did make for a great story; but, maybe, staying on the sidewalk is a better idea in the future autograph seeking sessions !!! … All your dedications [#3; #4; and #8] are great choices … But, keep the dedication that you will make in honor of #1, a surprise, for when you reach the top of the mlblogs "Leader's List" !!! … And, finally, Elizabeth, I think it's great that you mentioned [on the above post] the support your friend Emma has given you; and, also, on a past post, the support your friend Steph has also given you !!! … Maybe, you can dedicate some future post to both of them ??? … That's what it's all about: "the support and encouragement from good friends" !!! … "Nice Post" … Jimmy [27NYY] http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Yeah, the old Yankee Stadium was great. It sucks that you didn't get to go there. There really were all the ghosts of Yankees past…I'm a huge Scott Brosius fan, and when I went there I could sort of feel something over third base that was NOT A-Rod. That really sucks that they all hate the Sox and are mean about the whole Damon thing. Some Yankees fans can never seem to let go of the past…but it's funny how they don't mention the fact that Damon was way better when he was with you guys than he is now. I hope that makes you feel better…
The Red Sox got a really good bargain by signing Youk early. But, by the time this contract is over, he could be worth as much as the Yankees got Tex for, or even more.
King Yankees
Steve: One or two years would be fine for me. I just want him to retire in a Red Sox uniform
Jimmy: The Red Sox vs Yankee rivalry will always be huge and rich with history no matter who the players are. That's so funny (and kind of scary) that Henry pretty much hates Scott Boras. I hope that doesn't get in the way of us signing Varitek. Thankfully there is mutual interest. And I will keep my number one dedication a surprise🙂.
Diamondback: I'm sure there were all the ghosts from the Yankees past! I really dislike A-Rod. And it does make me feel better!
King Yankes: I'm glad that we got Youk at such a bargain but you're right–he might be really expensive his contract expires!
Yay, I'm glad you feel better. I dislike A-Rod, too…but I hate the Yankees because of what they did to Brosius. He was good, but he knew he was going to retire after 2001 because the Yanks told him, "Btw we are training your replacement–Drew Henson!" Drew Henson was horrible in MLB and in the NFL. But he got so much money out of it…
And my favorite player of all time retired from baseball when he probably had a few good years left.
But the feeling in that stadium really was magical.
The Steinbrenners know absolutely nothing.
The Veritek thing is so exciting! Brownies are a great way to celebrate. I want to be a journalist, too, so hopefully it will stick around long enough for both of us!
Kaybee: Or maybe we can reform it and be the ones to bring it back (along with Diamondbacks… she wants to do it too!!!).

Entering his 15th year as assistant coach at UT Arlington, Gerald Richey continues his work with the pole vaulters. A graduate of Abilene Christian University, he has been on the sidelines of various track and field meets since 1958, including 27 years at Arlington High School from 1968-1995.
Last year, Richey helped guide Wade Hayes to a second-place finish in the Southland Conference Championship in the pole vault. That ended a stretch during which Hayes won five SLC titles in the pole vault in indoor and outdoor track.
Richey also helped pole vaulters Lauren Marks, Samantha Nash and Chris Machisak score in various SLC Championships over the past two years.
Over the course of 37 years, Richey has coached football, cross country and track. During that time, he coached three future All-Pro football players, two state champion cross country teams, two state runner-up cross country teams, a regional championship cross country team, 18 district champion cross country teams, seven district champion track teams and many individual state meet qualifiers and champions.
In October of 1999, the city of Arlington recognized Richey's accomplishments by naming the cross country course at Vandergriff Park in his honor.

Is that cat REALLY that limp? That's what I heard from a lady at a show one day…and when I turned around I had to laugh because one of TICA's junior exhibitors was walking around with a Ragdollabout as large as her…and that cat looked like it was dead (asleep) in her arms. I told the lady it was a Ragdoll.
Maybe it's that easy-going manner that made the Ragdoll TICA's second highest registered cat at the end of 2008. They're beautiful blue-eyed, large, affectionate cats that get along with children and other animals. And they make the wonderful single-person cat, or apartment dweller.
They are one of the largest breeds of cat surprisingly, and you'd never know it. Their fur is rabbit-like, medium length and believe or not, there's very little shedding! If you've never seen a Ragdoll, check our breeders list to see if there's one near you…then contact them and find out when they'll be at a show so you can go see one in person.
I know when you peer into those deep blue eyes that look like deep pools of water, you'll fall in love!

Gah! It must be great being a metal journalist. Getting to hear all these albumse before anyone else! lol
Although I was disappointed with the last album, my hopes are quite high for the new one, cos the one new song I have heard ("The Price") was awesome. xD
Written by Baz Anderson on 18.12.2010 at 21:08Yeh, you can hear from that song that the drums have gone up many levels.
I have the new Die Apokalyptischen Reiter album too, but I think they must have given me some demo songs by accident or something because the production is literally beyond terrible.

Pretty good, could be one or two songs shorter though

Counselor Troi's investigation into the suicide of a crewman suggests a murder was committed aboard the Enterprise while it was being built, and that the murderer is still aboard.
Summary Edit
Riker and Worf are summoned to Nacelle Control where Lieutenant Daniel Kwan is on the catwalk about to jump into the plasma stream. Riker tries to talk Kwan down from the catwalk. Kwan replies by saying, "I know what I have to do." Kwan then jumps into the plasma stream. After Kwan's suicide the ship's crew is shocked.
Captain Picard states that he's had to notify families of Starfleet personnel deaths, but never a suicide. He puts Worf and Counselor Troi in charge of an investigation, in order to explain Kwan's death to his family and "help them put this in perspective." Picard gives them the right to look at Kwan's personal logs. One of the first people questioned in the investigation is Kwan's girlfriend Ensign Calloway. Calloway says that Kwan was pretty much happy and easy-going. Calloway also says that Kwan didn't seem like the kind of person that would take his own life. Worf and Deanna have already agreed that Kwan didn't seem the type to take his own life. In Kwan's personal logs he mentioned that he had pulled double shifts and looked forward to seeing Calloway.
Troi decides that it is time to see Nacelle Control. She examines his workstation, then climbs to the platform where Kwan died. There she is overwhelmed by a strong empathic impression. After being examined by Doctor Crusher, she is told to wait a few hours before returning to the nacelle tubes.
Worf, from his experience in the alternate realities where he was married to Troi, begins to think about starting a relationship with her. He asks Riker if it would be alright for him to date someone he was close to. Riker says that it wouldn't be his choice. Then Worf asks if there is anyone that Riker prefer he not date on the ship. Riker laughs and says that Worf is beginning to sound like he's asking him if he can date his (Riker's) sister. Worf realizes he's getting nowhere with the hints and leaves Ten-Forward.
Later, Troi returns to Nacelle Control with Worf. This time, she has a vision of a man and a woman, one of them in danger. She can tell it is in the cell where the plasma stream is held. Then the vision is of a man and a woman laughing at her, but not actually her, but whoever's eyes she was looking though. After the vision Worf takes Troi to Dr. Crusher. Crusher assumes that because Kwan was half-Napean that he may have gotten the same vision as Troi. Since the Napeans are also telepathic it is a possibility. Crusher also tells Troi that she may be able to give her an inhibitor in order to manage the emotions she was feeling during the experience.
While waiting for the inhibitor to synthesize, Troi goes over the computer logs to see if anybody else aboard the Enterprise had worked with Kwan in the building of Nacelle Control. In the logs she sees the man from her vision: Lieutenant Walter Pierce. Troi and Worf decide to question Pierce about if he remembers anything about Kwan or from during the building of the Enterprise. Pierce doesn't tell Troi and Worf much of anything. Troi can't tell if Pierce is lying or what Pierce is really feeling, but thinks he may be lying.
Worf escorts Troi to her quarters. Worf says that maybe they should start earlier the next morning. Worf then says good night, but doesn't leave. Worf takes Deanna's hand, touching her hand to his face, then sniffing her hand. Worf then embraces Deanna in a kiss, a long kiss.
The next morning Worf is still in Deanna's quarters. Crusher comms both of them to the infirmary. They walk in together. Troi notices the way Worf acts toward Ensign Calloway. This leads Troi to later ask if Worf is sorry for having been with her. Worf says no.
Troi goes to investigate the cell where the plasma stream is kept. Lieutenant Nara states that Kwan had been in the cell the day before he had jumped. After Geordi removes one of the bulkheads he detects Human DNA. Troi gets another vision of the woman being attacked. Geordi and Data remove a skeleton. Ensign Calloway sequences the DNA sample and matches it to Starfleet records and finds Marla Finn. Troi says that Marla Finn was the woman in her vision. She says that something doesn't match up and pulls up Lieutenant Kwan's record. She realizes that it could not have been Kwan's eyes she was seeing through as he wasn't posted to the Enterprise until 6 months after Finn's death. It must have been either of the men in the vision. She realizes that it was Lieutenant Pierce's eyes she was seeing through when she sees her reflection in the computer panel. Troi finally understands that Pierce must somehow have telepathic abilities since she could not read his emotions before and because she also sees him in the visions.
Troi and Worf head to ask Pierce some questions, but Worf says that the inhibitor may still leave him lying so Worf goes to question him alone. Troi returns to her quarters when Pierce shows up. Pierce says that Worf told him to go to Troi. Troi asks where Worf is and Pierce says that he is with Ensign Calloway. Troi finds Worf and Ensign Calloway in a kissing embrace. The two start to laugh at her. She responds to the laughter by shooting Worf dead. Distraught, she then runs to Nacelle Control, running into Lieutenant Pierce who tells her, "'You know what you have to do'." She gets to the nacelle tubes, opens the plasma panel and walks up to the catwalk and stares into the plasma saying, "I know what I have to do." Just as she is about to jump into the plasma, Worf grabs her by the shoulder, whereupon it is revealed that her uniform has changed. The preceding events were a hallucination going back to the first moment she stood in the spot where Kwan committed suicide.
The investigation ends with Troi telling Picard that Kwan had been affected by some sort of telepathic left-over from Pierce's memories. It turns out that Pierce had found his girlfriend Marla Finn in an embrace with another man. Pierce had shot them both. Pierce then ran to Nacelle Control and jumped into the plasma stream. The reason the account seemed to be sent telepathically is because one of Pierce's grandmothers had been Betazoid. Worf asks Troi why she had seem surprised to see him alive when he pulled her from her hallucination. Troi replies that in her version of the vision, Worf was killed. Worf asks her who killed him, and Troi replies, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Memorable Quotes Edit
"Counselor. When I pulled you from the plasma stream you seemed... surprised I was alive."
"Well, actually... in my hallucination, you were killed."
"May I ask by whom?"
"Well, you know what they say, Mr. Worf. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.""
- - Worf and Troi
"They laughed at me!"
- - Daniel Kwan, shortly before committing suicide
"Is there someone in particular that you're talking about?"
"No. Is there someone in particular you would rather I not be involved with?"
"Mr. Worf, you sound like a man who's asking his friend if he can start dating his sister!"
"No! No, I was merely... never mind. Excuse me, sir."
- - Worf and Riker
Background information Edit
Story and production Edit
- Because regular Marina Sirtis stand-in Nora Leonhardt was busy, filming her scenes as Marla Finn on Paramount stage 8, Second Assistant Director Arlene Fukai got a wig from the hair department and replaced her for the light settings on stage 9, standing in for Marina Sirtis.
- First UK airdate: 8 May 1996
Continuity Edit
- This episode continues the romance between Troi and Worf, albeit in illusory form since much of the episode takes place in Troi's imagination.
- According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, imaginary scenarios are usually shown only from the character's point of view. This episode breaks that convention by showing Dr. Crusher speaking in Sickbay as she pages both Troi and Worf on the morning after they begin their affair.
- In Nacelle Control, after Troi was injected with the empathic inhibitor, the prop Commander La Forge uses is identical to the Interphasic scanner seen in "Phantasms".
- While Troi and Worf are discussing Troi's grandfather, Worf states, "Yes, I too have sought visions in fire." This statement alludes to "Rightful Heir", in which Worf travels to a temple on Boreth in an attempt to see a vision of Kahless.

An Option
When state government needs help designing a new building, it hires a private architect. When assistance sorting out a complex financial issue is required, private consultants sometimes are retained. So why shouldn't the West Virginia Attorney General's Office be permitted to employ outside counsel?
State Supreme Court justices are about to answer that question.
For years, former Attorney General Darrell McGraw used a sleazy system of hiring private attorneys to assist with "consumer protection" lawsuits. Sometimes they helped the state win lawsuits worth enormous sums, and the outside lawyers – some of them contributors to McGraw's election campaigns, hired without a competitive bidding process – took home millions of dollars in contingency fees.
Now, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, who beat McGraw in the election last November, plans reforms to the system by which outside counsel will be hired. His plan seems like a good one, certainly much more ethical than McGraw's.
But the bottom line is that Morrisey understands his office on occasion may need expertise and experience not available from his staff.
Several big credit card companies and a health care firm that had been targets of action by McGraw filed lawsuits challenging his use of outside counsel. Their contention is private attorneys working for contingency fees may not have taxpayers' best interests in mind.
Lower courts have ruled against the companies. Now the Supreme Court will weigh in on the question.
Well, of course outside counsel will be looking out first for themselves. That means they will seek the largest settlements or verdicts possible in lawsuits they handle for the attorney general's office. But the larger the settlement or verdict, the larger the state's share, too.
Morrisey and his staff clearly need to have the final say in policy decisions-that is, how much in damages should be sought or even whether lawsuits should include specific complaints.
But in the end, assuming Morrisey proceeds with his plan to clean up the process of hiring outside counsel, there is no difference between that and the Division of Highways contracting with an engineer who has expertise in building a certain kind of bridge.
State Supreme Court justices will see it that way, too, we are confident, and continue to allow the attorney general's office to have the option of using private attorneys.
