Sean chose North Central for its exercise science department and football program. "I wanted to pursue the science of exercise to help others experience the benefits I had. And playing football for a winning program was great."
Internships were key for Sean. "I was surprised at how well I was prepared for my internships. North Central gives you a good foundation of knowledge and the professors open your eyes to the possibilities."
One internship involved training middle- and high-school athletes in their specific sports. A second internship at Division I Northwestern University confirmed his future: Sean wants to work with college-level sports teams as a strength and conditioning coach.
"I observed off-season and in-season athletes in the university's weight room. I saw how every coach trains, the specific demands of each sport and how to train individual athletes for their sport."

The following books are available at the Portales Public Library:
Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth
From her engagement at age 2 to her wedding at age 9, young Leela's future has been clearly mapped. But that vision changes drastically when at age 12 — just months before she moves in with her husband's family — she finds herself in widow garb, stripped of her jewelry, beautiful clothes, and even her long hair while she goes into mourning for a man she barely knew. During the following long and difficult year, she slowly becomes aware of voices, particularly that of one Gandhiji, who speak of rights and freedom from British rule. This Gandhiji even dares to speak of the inequality inherent in the caste system in India and of breaking from some of the Indian traditions that placed unfair burdens on women and others. Leela's gradual transformation from a spoiled daughter to a thoughtful revolutionary is based in part on the experiences of Sheth's aunt. This quiet story is an insightful look at the lives behind the politics of change.
The Great Race: The Amazing Round-the-World Auto Race of 1908 by Gary Blackwood
A hundred years ago, the automobile was a novelty — a toy for the rich and famous. Prior to Henry Ford's revolutionary assembly-line process, automobiles were essentially built one at a time, to order. European automakers eager to capture this young market devised races — emphasizing endurance over speed — to prove the superiority of their product. The New York Times and the Paris newspaper, Le Matin sponsored the granddaddy of all such races, with a course that began in New York and ended in Paris (going the long way across the United States, Siberia and Europe). That race, which included entries from France, Italy, Germany, and a last minute American car, was as much about the pluck, ingenuity, and determination of the crews as it was about mechanical dominance. Blackwood's engaging storytelling brings to life the men behind the wheel, from the Italian poet to the determined American mechanic. He is especially effective at illustrating transcontinental travel in an age before paved highways, routine snow removal, or gas stations. Comparisons between the 1908 racecars and current automobile specs (e.g. 15 horse power engines versus 300 in a modern SUV) help to highlight the tremendous undertaking of the race. Black and white photographs of the participants, the cars, events and sights of the race enlarge this remarkable story. A short list of related Web sites, bibliography, end notes, map, and index enhance the book's use for research.

A classroom incident at a Janesville high school two weeks ago is raising some concerns about freedom of speech and school safety.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
Some Janesville parents said that they're concerned that in this incident, in which a student allegedly tore pages from a Bible, the balance between the two was tipped toward the First Amendment, WISC-TV reported.
As many Parker High School students get ready for Christmas break, junior Elle Jacobson is at home and will not be returning like her friends.
"I have never felt threatened like that in a classroom before," said Jacobson.
The 17-year-old is talking about an incident in her English class two weeks ago during a class presentation.
"This boy got up and his visual aid was a Bible and a book. And he got up and started his speech by saying 'Now, this piece of crap' and pointed to the Bible."
Jacobson said that she quickly felt threatened.
"He took the Bible and he said, 'I'm going to do this because I can. I'm going to do something that your stupid, little minds aren't going to be able to comprehend and he took the Bible and started ripping out pages."
School officials said that they know about the incident.
"We take this extremely seriously," said Dr. Karen Schulte, Janesville School District safety and security coordinator.
Officials said that they will not confirm whether the boy was suspended.
"We do an assessment of this situation and students involved to ensure the safety of every student and staff at that school," said Schulte.
Officials said that ripping up a Bible is constitutionally protected, adding the punishment has nothing to do with the student's Freedom of Speech demonstration.
"Any actions that were taken in this case were because of behavior separate from the Bible," said Parker High Principal Dale Carlson.
Some parents said that they disagree with the school's reaction.
"The school worries about his right to privacy and to free speech that to teachers' rights or the students' right to safety," said Paul Jacobson, Elle?s father.
He said that he's pulling his two high school daughters out of Parker High.
"It's not about free speech. It's not about necessarily about the Bible although that was disgusting, too. This is about the vicious, vile manner in the way this kid went about this and tried to make some kind of point," he said.
Elle Jacobson's parents are looking for another school for their daughters.
Parker High School officials aren't saying whether the student who sparked the controversy is back at school.
In a separate incident, following the punishment, three Parker High Students wore T-shirts asking for the student in question to be brought back after a punishment was levied against him. School officials made those students change clothes.

With the Yeezus tour back in full swing after the slight delay, Kanye resumed the concert-mandated press tour run by stopping at Philly's Hot 107.9 shortly before the show. In it he talked about the usual: venting about the fashion industry, describing the upcoming video for "Bound 2", and more.
UPDATE: Ye also stopped by Wired 96.5 to continue his talking tour. Amongst the normal bits, Ye was asked who he's listening to currently and the new Kardashian revealed who his favorite artist at the moment was... James Blake.

Johnny Manziel has been compared to a lot of people and a lot of things. Eli Manning was not one of them.
Until now.
It's not exactly the Super Bowl, but Alabama vs Texas A&M is about as close as it gets in the Week 3 of the college football season. Last year the Aggies shocked the world and Johnny Manziel's magical performance boosted him to the Heisman Trophy.
On this play, Manziel bobbled the ball and recovered in time to hit Ryan Swope in the back of the end zone and give the Aggies a three score lead on the Crimson Tide.
The play has become the stuff of legend in College Station and throughout college football. That was 2012.
This was Saturday.
Manziel showed amazing escapability, reaction and poise in the above video. While calling the result of the play a little lucky would be fair, the result of the play isn't really the issue.
It was a special play that Manziel created out of what appeared to be a dire situation, recalling a certain play in the Super Bowl. Here's how it went down.
Taken before the snap, the screen shot below shows that the Aggies were lined up at the Alabama 34-yard line. The line of scrimmage is noteworthy when you see where Manziel would end up releasing the ball.
As a result of the pressure, Manziel rolled out to the backside to extend the play. When he rolled out, Manziel found Alabama defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan shedding his blocker and zoning in on the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
Manziel reacts by back-peddling all the way to midfield, which is where Pagan finally makes contact with the Aggies' quarterback.
At 6'4" and 290-pounds, Pagan has a huge advantage in size and strength over Manziel. What Manziel has is the advantage in creativity and athleticism, allowing what happened next to occur.
The rest? Well the pictures tell the rest of the story. The Aggies' huge wide receiver duo of Mike Davis and Edward Pope went up along with four Alabama defenders for the jump ball. In the photo below, you'll see who came away with the ball. With a name like that, he had to catch that ball, didn't he?
In the end, the play turned into something that amounted to a mid-quarter "hail Mary" that was answered in a big way. It's better to be lucky than good, but having luck and skill never hurt anybody.
With #18 of Texas A&M involved in such a play, who else did you think would come up with a ball like that?

Lighter Chocolate-Lover Recipes
Chocolate does not have to be off-limits if you're trying to eat light.
You don't have to be a chocoholic to enjoy a tender slice of chocolate cake or a chewy chocolate cookie. Unfortunately, a good portion of the calories and fat in such mouth-watering desserts comes from the chocolate. That doesn't mean chocolate is off-limits if you're trying to eat light.
You can reduce the fat and calories by substituting baking cocoa for some or all of the chocolate called for in a recipe, as in Light Chocolate Cheesecake (shown at right).
Baking cocoa is the powdery residue produced when cocoa beans are processed. Most of the cocoa butter—the main fat in chocolate—is removed from the powder, making it an ideal ingredient for baking light.
You can use baking cocoa to lighten up cakes, cookies, quick breads, frosting and sauces. Here's how:
- Replace 1 square of melted unsweetened chocolate (1 ounce) with 3 tablespoons of cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of water, milk, buttermilk or applesauce. You'll reduce the calories by 80 and total fat by 13 grams (of which 8 grams are saturated fat).
- To replace 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate (3 ounces), use 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons liquid and 3 tablespoons sugar. You'll save 200 calories and 23 grams total fat (15 grams saturated fat).
Make sure you add the cocoa powder to the dry ingredients and the additional liquid to the wet ingredients. Stir the dry ingredients well, since baking cocoa has a tendency to clump. Because baking cocoa is acidic, you might need to mix in more baking soda (1/8 teaspoon for every 3 tablespoons cocoa).
Lighter Chocolate Recipes
Chocolate Mint Whoopie Pies are cute sandwich cookies that our Test Kitchen made lighter in calories but not flavor. They would be a pretty addition to any holiday goodie tray. Another recipe, Cocoa Banana Cupcakes, comes from Rochelle Brownlee of Big Timber, Montana. These moist cupcakes with mild banana flavor get a boost from the cocoa powder in the frosting, which also has melted chocolate to give it a creamy texture that's easier to spread.

Food Share issues corporate challenge
- published_in
- Today's News
The friendly competition among a select group of local companies is meant to raise both dollars and food for the food bank. Corporations of all sizes are encouraged to participate, and winners receive prizes and bragging rights. Some companies collect both money and food, while others raise just one or the other. Community Food Share relies on both types of donations to maintain its operation but has more flexibility with financial donations because it can distribute four meals for every $1 donated.
Among the activities companies have used to promote the challenge are spring cleaning sales, raffles, plant sales, kickball and poker tournaments, silent auctions, wine auctions and bingo.
Competing companies get 10 points for each dollar donated and one point for each pound of donated food. Prizes are awarded for most points per company and most points per employee, enabling companies of all sizes to be competitive.
WhiteWave Foods Co. (NYSE: WWAV) won in both categories in 2012, a year in which the Corporate Challenge raised $225,185 and 5,360 pounds of food.
In its 32nd year, Community Food Share distributes more than 7.5 million meals annually, free of charge, through a network of more than 50 member agencies and two direct-distribution programs that target specific at-risk populations. The value of the food is $12.5 million.
The nonprofit organization is headquartered in Niwot but plans to move later this year into a 68,000-square-foot building it has purchased and is renovating at 650 Taylor Ave. in the Colorado Technology Center business park in Louisville. Community Food Share bought the building in August for $3.5 million, including $2.5 million from an anonymous donor.
One of every six people in Boulder and Broomfield counties lives at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty line ($29,965 per year for a family of four), according to the Community Food Share website. More than 59,000 people in Boulder and Broomfield counties live at this poverty level – more than enough to fill Folsom Field – and 13,000 children are enrolled in free lunch programs in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts.
For more information or to sign up for the Corporate Challenge, contact Susan Finesilver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 303-652-3663 extension 209. An enrollment form is available at www.communityfoodshare.org.

The condition of all types of internal water-
lubricated bearings should be checked frequently to
guard against excessive wear which can result in
misalignment and shaft failure.
As for oil-lubricated sleeve or shell-type bearings,
the bearing clearances should be measured following
procedures described for the pump, and clearances
should be maintained within the limits specified in the

The clearance between the impeller wearing ring
and the casing-wearing ring (fig. 6-23) must be

When clearances exceed the specified figures, the
wearing rings must be replaced. This replacement
requires the complete disassembly of the pump.
Information on disassembly of the unit, dimensions of
the wearing rings, and reassembly of the pump is in the
manufacturers technical manual. (Wearing rings are
located on the main feed pump, as shown in figure
When deciding whether the wearing rings need
renewing, you must consider the capacity of the pump
and the discharge pressure of the pump. On low-
pressure pumps, the wearing ring diametrical
clearance may be 0.015 to 0.030 inch more than the
designed amount without any appreciable effect on the

The percentage of capacity loss with a 0.030-inch
wearing ring clearance in excess of standard may be
large with a small pump but comparatively small with a
large pump. For high-pressure boiler feed pumps, the
effect of increased wearing ring clearance is readily
noticeable in the efficiency and maximum capacity of
the pump. For high-pressure pumps, the wearing rings
should be renewed when the clearance shown on the
manufacturers plans is exceeded by 100 percent. It is
usually not necessary to renew wearing rings uniess
the wear is at least 0.015 inch. If a pump has to be
disassembled because of some internal trouble, you
should check the wearing rings for clearance. Measure

fine thin and curly --HELP!
I am new to these boards and looking for any advice on fine thin curly slow-to-grow hair. ANY product or styling advice would be fantastic. Thank You! My hair tends to be frizzy and tangly.
My hair is slow to grow if I don't take a vitamin for the growth. I take GNC nourishair for women.
A good conditioner will help with the tangles I bet. It sure helps mine. I use a gel that coats my hair to make it seem thicker and give it good hold.
As for frizz if a good conditioner and strong hold gel doesn't help that then Curl Keeper by Curly hair solutions does a good job of getting rid of frizz. I hate the rest of their products but Curl Keeper is really good.
Good luck finding what works for your hair! :D
I too have very fine, thin hair. And it's very picky! It can get weighted down easily. My hair hates wheat protein (it gets dried out), it doesn't like oils (it will get weighted down and look greasy) and cones will do the same thing.
Soooo, I've tried many different products and this is what works for me at the moment.....
I shampoo with Matrix for color treated hair and I'm still looking for a good no poo or low poo. I really want to try the devacare ones still.
I condish with aussie 3 min. original formula. I tried using One C (made by devacurl)and it was a disaster.
I ONLY use a microfiber towel. A terry cloth one will cause me frizz.
I scrunch out the water and then comb with a wide tooth comb and then add products....
I'll spray about 3-4 squirts of Set it free (made by devacurl) into my palms and scrunch that in. Then a small amount of arc angell gel (made by devacurl) and scrunch that in. Most people need HUGE amounts of this gel but not me. Then I let air dry for about 15 -30 min. and then diffuse dry with a regular diffuser with fingers. I will then put a tiny amount of pomade (made by Aveda) into my palms when handling my hair while diffusing so I don't get any frizz.
So far.... all that is working right now.
Darby--thank you for the advice and sharing your routine. I bought a microfiber towel today and can't wait to try it. Do you always use shampoo, or just once in a while?
I shampoo every 3rd day. But now that the weather is colder I'm not getting second day hair so I'm wetting it down on the second day. The styling products I'm using don't build up or get gunky and that helps.
I've never noticed a difference with which shampoo or conditioner I'm using. For styling aides I use Jessicurl Confident Coils and Pantene Curl Defining Mousse. I dry on low heat with a diffuser. If I'm in a hurry I diffuse on high, but it doesn't turn out as nice.

Lantea Maps - Contributions Welcome!
I just split my Lantea Maps web app out of my main git repo and into its own small one, one main reason being that I can place it on GitHub as well. This is not meaning that I suddenly love the GitHub site, but having the repo there lowers the entry barrier for potential contributors and I'd be very happy to have people help me with this app.
Lantea Maps is a prototype web app to display maps and record (GPS) tracks, and I found it works pretty well with Firefox OS, actually. It's one of the apps I keep installing on my test device for that system, of course from its Mozilla Marketplace listing.
The app is based on a canvas that displays a map (from OpenStreetMap, multiple styles can be selected) and on which the recorded GPS tracks are displayed. The start of the app is there and working, but it could need quite some improvement - like making zoom switches and probably map panning smoother by using some canvas magic, supporting pinch gestures, caching tiles not just during a session but also across sessions (using IndexedDB), and more.
As mentioned on the original Lantea idea wiki page, there's a quite nice app for the Nokia N900 called Mappero that is a good source for feature and UI ideas, for me it's one the the best apps in that space and I'd love to have something similar to it as a web app - which is basically why I started Lantea at all.
That said, I'm open for all kinds of ideas for it - and even more, to patches and pull requests!

Artifacts and Artists: E. Kessler on Astronomical Photos
Posted by Darin Hayton on 02/09 at 12:23 PM
Elizabeth Kessler spoke recently at Bryn Mawr College on artist appropriations of astronomical photographs. In her talk, titled "Retaking the Universe: Appropriation and Astronomical Artifacts," she explored the ways three different artists "appropriated" photographs of stars, redeveloping them or cropping them or converting them into pencil drawings. She focused on the work of Linda Connor, Thomas Ruff, and Vija Celmins.
Connor worked through the Lick Observatory photo archives selecting photographs made in the late 19th century by E. E. Barnard. Barnard's photographs are, like most stellar photographs, emulsions on glass plates. Connor redeveloped the plates, leaving the traces of the edges. Kessler claimed that for Connor, these traces reminded us that what we see depends on practices and technologies. Connor's approach echoed Barnard's, who also considered his photographs as the product of a skilled technician and practice. This raises a number of questions: Connor, Kessler claimed, had to deny any authorship to the photos she was reproducing. Yet they were clearly the product of somebody, as Barnard's very fingerprints and signature revealed.
Ruff acquired a set of negatives from the "Catalog of the Southern Sky." Rather than reproduce whole negatives, as Connor did, he cropped the negative and enlarged the cropped section. His prints emphasized the abstract, black-and-white aspect of the negative. In his project, Ruff tried to subvert the mapping goal of the "Catalog of the Southern Sky" by focusing on a small, unidentifiable part of the negative.
Celmins created pencil drawings of stellar photographs. Like Ruff, she tried to remove visual clues about distances and space. She also tried to efface traces of the instruments used to take the original photographs. Kessler spent considerable time looking at Celmins's drawing of Coma Berenices:
Two threads linked Kessler's examples: First, each artist played with, perhaps disrupted is a better word, the astronomical artifact, consciously confusing or highlighting the artifactual nature of the original photograph. Second, each example represented for Kessler one aspect of astronomical research over the past century. For Connor and Barnard it was the problem of nebulosity. For Ruff it was mapping the sky. For Celmins it was dark matter.
For me, the interesting questions focused less on the artifacts and more with the residual traces of tacit skills and practices. Kessler showed a slide form Connor's collection on which ghostly fingerprints could be seen in the original emulsion—we were told they are Barnard's own. It seemed like a modern version of Steven Shapin's interest in the invisible technician. Kessler's talk also suggested a range of practices and technologies that produced the first artifact—Barnard had to ensure that his telescope tracked the stars as the earth rotates, technicians "verified" photos from the "Catalog of the Southern Sky" and proofed duplicates to ensure that they were accurate, visual anomalies such as lens flare showed up in some of Celmins's drawings. It might be interesting to think about how these practices and technologies shape the original artifact and the subsequent piece of art.

Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds
Please make sure that you read the Dedication – Angel mentions some worthy military causes. I have to say that if you love this series, what better way to honor the author than to make a small donation in her name to one of the causes she mentions.
Sergeant Zeke Hayes hears a scream. He thinks his friend Rayna Chestain is someone special. They met under some pretty rough conditions. To make this series flow, we continue to read about the sad story of human trafficking. The story also shows the effects of those kinds of conditions on the people that are freed. Angel also reminds her readers that PTSD is no longer associated with just the military. You can't be afraid to ask for help.
Luna Lawrence is an interesting character – I'll let you experience her for yourself. But Angel leaves me wondering if she will make an appearance in the next book. She is one of those characters that you want her to have things to make her life better. And then she does a one-eighty.
One thing Angel is good about is showing her readers exactly how much of a Dom Zeke actually is. BDSM is an experience and he knows how to do it very well. Are you Vanilla or are you willing to be a voyeur? Or maybe you like to participate? We get to see the "lifestyle" and the scenes can be very graphic – but then you can't be totally Vanilla your whole life. Live a little and explore your wild side. And if you don't want anyone else to know what you're reading, just read in bed.
I found that this book had a serious amount of testosterone going on. It makes me wonder if our author has any plans for Rayna's brothers. It will be interesting to follow her and see what else she comes out with – if they show up in this series or even one of their own.
She also knows how to build the tension because of the evil that exists but it doesn't overtake the storyline. The same goes for Garrett and Sage. Their story continues from when we first met them in Saved by His Submissive. We see them just enough to know what happened after their story ended.
Garrett likes to read an author that seems to be a rival of Angel's. If you want to know more about this author just follow this link http://lexiblake.net/index.html. And if you haven't read his story yet, make sure to change that.
If you've loved reading this series, you'll be happy to know that Angel's next book Surrendering To Her Sergeant will be out this November. It will continue the story of Ethan and Ava whom you also meet in this book. Angel is very bad in that she gives the reader a very short teaser to get you ready for the Fall.

Dordt College News
Dordt and Northwestern share artwork in combined exhibit
December 16, 2011
Since 1999, Dordt and Northwestern students have been sharing the best artwork of the year in a combined exhibit. The exhibit is a way for the art and design faculty and students from the two schools to interact with each other, engage each other's art, and discuss art analysis methods and media techniques. It is also a great opportunity for the college communities to view a wide variety of art from like-minded students who may have different approachs to the art-making process.
This year the exhibit is on display at Northwestern College in the Korver Visual Arts Center. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday, and 1 p.m. to midnight on Sunday. The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 15, 2012.
This exhibit is entirely screened and selected by students. Dordt art majors Kim Brinkerhoff, Ellie Dykstra, and Michelle Stam served as jurors and selected 20 of the best pieces in their estimation from Northwestern College for the display. Northwestern students Jordan Van Dyke, Rebecca Lokker, and Veronica Postma selected 20 works by Dordt students from a total of 60 to 70 pieces in a variety of media including printmaking, drawing, painting, photography, and ceramic work.

Pizza Obsessives: Jimmy Coponi
Great feature and nice looking pizzas there. Way to go Jimmy!
My only concern might be that starting off so early in your pizza path with a WFO and all the bells and whistles might blind you to the alternatives and variety of other styles that exist out there. This does seem to be reflected in your preference for 'purist' Neapolitan.
VIDEO: Behind the Scenes at Di Fara
Very well put @mattivore.
It's sad to see food so regularly reduced to "best of" lists with value being nothing but a "chart position" in a "top 10". Go to Di Fara for the whole experience...or don't. It is what it is: a unique experience.
Those people so desperate to tear down Dom's success (typically quoting fermentation times and oven temperatures) kinda puzzle me. If you think you can do better at home, then please do so. How does that make Dom any less of a pizza treasure?
Still Not Sure How Much to Tip for Pizza Delivery? You're Not Alone
First of all, I have not found service in the US in general to be superior to elsewhere in the world (whether Europe or Asia). However since the food service industry is so large and varied with many sectors having no direct equivalent in other countries, the comparison is moot imho.
Secondly, you appear to have mistaken me for a cheapskate. I have NO PROBLEM with paying for service. None whatsoever. The problem is with employers and their practices. I agree that a system where service charges are included automatically is no guarantee that the FOH will be renumerated accordingly. However with such a system in place, it's much easier to hold the employer numerically accountable for unfair practice. By continuing to silently tip on an individual basis, we are essentially admitting defeat and accepting that the situation will never improve.
Still Not Sure How Much to Tip for Pizza Delivery? You're Not Alone
And yes I'm very much aware that delivery drivers have significant costs of fuel and vehicle maintenance. Again, this is a cost the pizzeria should be responsible for, since they are the suppliers of the delivery service.
I would absolutely welcome an upfront, explicit delivery fee which goes 100% to the driver. Sadly, it seems where such schemes have been implemented, the money rarely makes it to the employees.
Still Not Sure How Much to Tip for Pizza Delivery? You're Not Alone
@Niki (+ Lance + Kenji)
Regarding complicity, I think you are right but in the wrong way. An industry where workers rely on tips is one where employers are blatantly not paying adequate basic wages.
The employer is at fault here not the customer. Why should the customer bear the responsibility fot the shortcomings of the employer, and by doing so are we not "complicit" in the employer's poor treatment of workers?
Line chefs are often paid a pittance but we don't tip each of them individually. Likewise, we don't tip if we pick up our order from the pizzeria and yet someone is making those pizzas.
Do you tip your mailman every time he delivers a letter? Do you tip couriers every time they deliver a package to your office? And yet pizza delivery drivers aren't even independent contractors. As a customer, my business is with the pizzeria. Delivery drivers are in the employ of the pizzeria providing a service the pizzeria offers.
To tip out of "sympathy" for drivers' predicament borders on making the delivery person a "charity case". While I have no objection to tipping for service/delivery (as a general rule of thumb I tip 20% or $5 for delivery) I do take issue with employees who feel it's appropriate to guilt customers for a crime that customers ultimately should not be held responsible for.

The Science Behind Salt and Vinegar Chips
Except that the ingredients specify "dried xxx vinegar". While distilled vinegar may only be 5% acetic acid, most of the remaining 95% is water. It makes sense, therefore, that "dried" vinegar may be much closer to pure acetic acid.
The typical synthesised "salt and vinegar" flavouring is sodium diacetate which, as the author mentions, is essentially 1 part sodium acetate to 1 part acetic acid. This lends both a salty (sodium acetate) and vinegary (acetic acid) taste.

Poll: How Much Is Too Much for a Slice?
Generally speaking, one could ask how much better a >$5 slice can really be to justify its price? Doesn't it reach a point where you've priced yourself outside of the street slice market and heading towards sit-down pizza? Hard to make such generalisations though when there are always places whose popularity ensures their high price tag (eg DiFara). Diminishing returns vs market demand.

Somebody Got A Hummer From Fergie
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Published on October 2, 2007
Section Pop Culture / Celebrities
For those of you who've been too engrossed in Britney's custody battle to follow other celebrity news (she lost and was ordered to hand the kids over to K-Fed on Wednesday), Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie auctioned off her barely-driven Hummer on eBay and donated the money to Global Green USA. After 964,468 bids, the small penis compensator (with only 7,341 miles on it) sold for $64,199.91.
Not a bad sum for a used vehicle that guzzles gas and is too big to park anywhere. What's gotten more coverage than the vehicle itself, however, are the vicious message board jibes at Fergie's "generosity":
"umm, i don't quite get why global green usa is participating on this. last time i checked, hummers do nothing to help global warming…" said one posting on the dark side of eBay.

I left his office with a sense of a specifically Jewish Chomsky that in three decades of engagement with his political writing, his academic work, and a few dozen of his radio appearances had never really struck me before, and now seems obvious and unavoidable.

It's not news that Noam Chomsky's views on foreign policy are controversial.

Bradford Delong's My Very, Very Allergic Reaction to Noam Chomsky. Other prominent critiques include Noam Chomsky: A Critical Review (by MeFi's own Russil Wvong), George Shadriou's Dissecting Chomsky and Anti-Americanism, and David Horowitz's series of articles on Chomsky in Frontpage Magazine (Part I, Part II, response to rebuttals).

Professor Dan Everett of Illinois State University, who lived for decades with the Pirahã, first as a missionary, then as a linguist, believes Pirahã casts serious doubt upon Chomsky's theory of universal grammar. Chomskyites have started to fight back with a reassessment of Everett's famous paper on the Pirahã, where he claimed that the Pirahã "have no numbers, no fixed color terms, no perfect tense, no deep memory, no tradition of art or drawing, and no words for "all," "each," "every," "most," or "few"—terms of quantification believed by some linguists to be among the common building blocks of human cognition." He also claims that it doesn't have recursion, a feature of language Chomsky recently claimed was the defining feature of human speech. Dan Everett has rebutted the Chomskyite reassessment of his work. Video interview with Professor Everett. [Pirahã previously covered on MetaFilter in 2004 and 2006]

In U.S. Success, Anti-War Faction's Worst Fears Realized
In U.S. Success, Anti-War Faction's Worst Fears Realized writes our own James Lileks. Noam Chomsky, our own little Quisling, popped up in India to denounce the United States and describe the attacks on Afghanistan as "a bigger terrorist act than what happened on Sept. 11." It takes tremendous energy to maintain these hideous delusions. Chomsky must be exhausted. He must also be surprised every time he lands back in America and is not arrested; the nation he describes would surely clap him in chains and leave him in a basement to devolve to rat food and bones.
The New War on Terror
The New War on Terror Noam Chomsky has written a book called 9-11. He analyses the situation in a long essay published in Counterpunch. Quote: We certainly want to reduce the level of terror, certainly not escalate it. There is one easy way to do that and therefore it is never discussed. Namely stop participating in it.
Chomsky on MSNBC talks about recent events! That would be news all by itself. I know that a lot of people on the right disagree with him, but who can argue with what he says here? Also from left field an incisive Q&A about Afghanistan history and the current situation by Tariq Ali.
On October 15thThe Guardian had for its editorial "If Palestinians were black, Israel would now be a pariah state subject to economic sanctions led by the United States. Its development and settlement of the West Bank would be seen as a system of apartheid, in which the indigenous population was allowed to live in a tiny fraction of its own country, in self-dministered 'bantustans', with 'whites' monopolising the supply of water and electricity. And just as the black population was allowed into South Africa's white areas in disgracefully under-resourced townships, so Israel's treatment of Israeli Arabs - flagrantly discriminating against them in housing and education spending - would be recognised as scandalous too.
Expanding on this description, Noam Chomsky gives an account of Israel's shift from coercive diplomacy to using direct force in implementing its "final status map". That is, the cantonization, containment and control of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Jennifer Aniston Open To 'Friends' Reunion
Jennifer Aniston, arguably the most successful star from the cast of Friends, says she's open to reuniting with the cast of the hit TV show.
Aniston held an interview with James Burrows, who directed the pilot of Friends and several episodes. At one point the moderator audibly wished for a Friends reunion, and Aniston quickly agreed: "I do too. I'd honestly go back to it if we could, I would."
The cast is split on the idea of making more Friends episodes, however. Lisa Kudrow has said she doesn't have an interest in seeing the characters 10 years later, but admitted she would attend a reunion if the entire cast and creative team were there. Matt LeBlanc said something similar, telling EW, "I don't want to see old Joey."
Matthew Perry, on the other hand, wishes the show was still on. He said, "I was like, 'Why in the world did we stop?'"
Aniston also shared the uncertainty of her role on the show during her chat with Burrows. The actress had worked on five pilots before getting a shot with Friends, and she was unsure which pilots would be picked up. In fact, the actress had to be removed from several cast photos because the creators weren't sure if she would stick around due to another pilot she starred in, "Muddling Through."
Something tells us Aniston is glad "Muddling Through" was canceled two weeks before Friends premiered.

What are the benefits of swedish bitters? You'll likely never see me promoting herbs or natural remedies promising instant success and quick, dramatic healing. There simple is no room for McHealing when it comes to herbal remedies.
But if there ever was a product that could change my mind, then it's the one you're reading about now. Indeed, I still stand strong, there's no such thing as an instantaneous "herbal miracle cure", but Swedish Bitters would probably come very close...
Swedish Bitters is the name of a herbal tonic made from eleven different herbs, originally formulated by an 11th Century Swiss Physician, Philipus Paracelsus. With all the benefits of Swedish Bitters, it is a good thing that this special formula was
rediscovered in the mid 1800's, for the first time, under the name we know it as today.
Swedish bitters has healing properties that encompass a wide spectrum, but on this page I will try and focus, only on it's digestive aiding abilities.
Another of the benefits of swedish bitters is that it soothes the liver and helps it function properly. The liver is in charge of the metabolic balance of the body, by producing fluids needed for proper and complete digestion as well as ridding the system of dangerous toxins.
So if you struggle with gas, constipation or any digestive disorder, even acute gastritis, pancreas disorders or irritable bowel syndrome, Swedish Bitters has a track record of help just such people with just such problems. Just remember with any serious disorder, go see your doctor first!
How Should I Take It?
For starters, you have to decide whether to make the tonic yourself or to just buy it over the counter.
If you decide to take the DIY route, this is how it is done:
Mix up the following herbs, 10 grams each of manna, senna leaves, rhubarb roots, aloe, natural camphor, theriac venezion, angelica roots and zedoary roots. Plus 5 grams of both myrrh and carline thistle roots with 2 grams of saffron. Put the mixture in a wide-neck 2 litre bottle.
Fill it up with 1.5 litres of rye or fruit spirits. Now let it stand for 14 days in the sun or next to the heater where it is warm. Every day shake the bottle a bit. After 2 weeks, strain the liquid and pour it into smaller bottles that close up tight, and store it in a cool place. You can keep these tonics for years, and the longer they stand the more potent they get, just remember to shake the bottle before you use it.
Taking the tonic can be done 'straight' for those who don't mind the taste and smell, you get use to it. I actually enjoys its warm, herby taste with the alcohol bite at the end.
An easier way would be to dilute one tablespoon of the tonic with warm tea or water, and then sip it before and after a meal three times a day. If you suffer from constipation, take it every morning on an empty stomach for six weeks.
If you experience any kind of pain, you can use Swedish Bitter externally as well, by making a compress or messaging it into the skin.
To experience the benefits of Swedish Bitters with a compress, go about it like this: Soak cotton wool with the tonic or with diluted tonic in warm water. Then put the soaked cotton wall on the painful area and you cover it with dry cotton wool, put plastic on top to keep it warm and insulated. Tie everything up with a bandage to keep it in place. This can be done many times until you feel relief.
If you opt for just rubbing the tonic directly on the skin, you might want to first rub some oil on the area, since the alcohol might dry out the skin and make it itchy and sensitive.
You could use the external remedy along with the internal remedy.
Be Careful
With all the above mention (and not mentioned) benefits of Swedish bitters, you'll be glad to hear that consumption of the remedy brings minimal side-effects. Since many Swedish Bitters tonics are alcohol based, pregnant and nursing mothers should rather not use it, not just for the alcohol, but the aloe often gets absorbed into the mothers' milk and cause the baby to get diarrhoea.
People with severe liver conditions and high blood pressure should talk first to their doctor before they use Swedish Bitters.
Don't use Swedish Bitters if you are vomiting, feeling nauseas, have diarrhoea or are experiencing abdominal pain.
When you feel your stomach becomes very tender and find yourself sleepy all the time, you might be using too much Swedish Bitters and should reduce the dose.
Finally, never drink Swedish Bitters with milk, as it negates its effect.
Hope you enjoyed reading of the benefits of swedish bitters.

What started as opposition to a tax increase morphed into support Thursday from one Clovis resident.
But opposition to a proposed zoning change from a neighborhood of others remained solid.
The Clovis City Commission dealt with proposed zone changes, and announced a town hall on a possible gross receipts tax hike, during its regular meeting.
Don Spradlin of Clovis said he heard about the introduction of an ordinance to raise the gross receipts tax by 0.25 percent to help pay for Clovis' financial responsibility for the Ute Water Project.
"I've been a skeptic of this for a long time," Spradlin said.
Spradlin said he looked for answers, from calling the Interstate Streams Commission to city officials, and said he's actually come around to support the project, which would move water through a pipeline from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County to Clovis and other municipalities.
He implored the city find ways to get out the word about a town hall meeting regarding the ordinance.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 31 at the Clovis-Carver Public Library.
"We're going to try to get people involved with the project," Mayor Gayla Brumfield said. "We'll tell everyone what's been spent, what needs to be spent and where we are with the project."
The city's current gross receipts tax is 7.5625 percent, and would jump to 7.8125 percent on July 1 if the ordinance is approved.
The ordinance was introduced at the last commission meeting, two weeks prior. It can be voted on as early as the next commission meeting Feb. 3.
Most of the approximately 40 residents, however, were on hand to discuss a proposed zone change on the 600 and 700 blocks of Forest Park Drive from a neighborhood conservation livestock district to a mixed development.
Residents said they were concerned a commercial business would come in, and the resulting traffic would deteriorate their roads and impede on the neighborhood.
Laura Martin and Linda Whitaker, who both lived near the zone, said they would have no problem with more residential homes.
Arno Massey, who applied for the zone change, said he had no intention of bringing a business in and the change was required to accommodate some types of homes.
Jack Bell said he had never met Massey and had nothing against him, but he was concerned that somebody who purchases the property from Massey might have different intentions.
"We've lived out there for 20 years," Bell said. "The reason we live out there is it's a nice, quiet neighborhood. I can think of about a million things I wouldn't want there."
Commissioner Fred Van Soelen noted the planning and zoning committee voted unanimously to deny the zone change, and he felt overwhelming evidence hadn't been presented that would make him overrule the committee.
The city also voted it down by a 7-0 count.
Action taken Thursday by the Clovis City Commission:
• Tabled a request to change 724 W. 19th Street from a residential zone to a mixed development zone.
The planning and zoning committee had approved the change, but City Attorney David Richards said city practice is to generally avoid single-address zone changes.
The time will allow city staff to work with the property owner on the proper course of action.
• Voted to introduce an ordinance adding the release of water onto certain public roadways to the category of "public nuisance."
City Engineer Justin Howalt said the city has spent about $2,600 in the last few months on service calls for ice on roadways, even though there was not enough precipitation to create such situations.
The reason, Howalt said, is a few businesses were dumping excess water onto the street, which creates concerns in the winter months. He'd written nine letters to businesses; so far, two have written back noting they weren't aware of what they were doing and would stop it.
But without the ordinance, Howalt said, there is no enforcement tool.
"Our main concern is not about residential neighborhoods," Howalt said. "It's about arterial roads, with higher speeds and more people traveling."
• The Clovis Fire Department added three lieutenant positions to cover Fire Station No. 6 at 21st and Main streets. The department aims to begin operations at the station on Sunday.
Chief Ray Westerman said the measure would not add new personnel, but would promote current personnel in line with station requirements. With the new station and renovations at the airport station, the department could gain $100,000 in federal funding, which would offset the $14,500 needed to cover the salary bumps.

Muscadine Grape Vines
The Muscadine is America's Grape.Many of us grew up enjoying this delicious southern grape. There is nothing more enjoyable than planting and harvesting fruit from your own muscadine vines. The muscadine vine is native to the Southeastern U.S. and thrives in our hot and humid growing conditions. Muscadine vines can easily be grown organically since they require little or no spraying.
Female varieties of muscadine vines must have a self-fertile variety planted within 50 feet for proper pollination. A black self-fertile muscadine vine can pollinate a bronze female muscadine vine and vice versa.
Female muscadine vines get much larger than the self-fertile muscadine vines but self-fertile muscadine vines produce more fruit per vine. Female Muscadine vines average 50-60 lbs of fruit per plant and 60-80 lbs per self-fertile muscadine vine. We have had many self-fertile muscadine vines produce well over 100 lbs of fruit per vine.
Muscadine fruit is one of nature's richest sources of healthy antioxidants. The potential health benefits include preliminary evidence for effects against cancer mechanisms, so not only are muscadine vines fun to grow and eat but they are also very healthy for you!
Grow Muscadines CommerciallyMuscadine fruit is an excellent choice for the commercial market. Fresh fruit, u-pick or your own winery. We are available to answer questions, help with variety selections and help you develop a plan that will work best for your area. Muscadine liners are also available to commercial growers with advance notice.(before June of each year)

This week's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine investigates norovirus and medically attended gastroenteritis in children in the USA.
Cases of rotavirus-associated acute gastroenteritis have declined since the introduction of rotavirus vaccines, but the burden of norovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis in children remains to be assessed. Dr Daniel Payne and colleagues conducted active surveillance for laboratory-confirmed cases of norovirus among children younger than 5 years of age with acute gastroenteritis in hospitals, emergency departments, and outpatient clinical settings.
The children resided in 1 of 3 U.S. counties during the years 2009 and 2010.
Fecal specimens were tested for norovirus and rotavirus.
The researchers calculated population-based rates of norovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis, and reviewed billing records to determine medical costs.
These data were extrapolated to the U.S. population of children younger than 5 years of age. The team detected norovirus in 21% of young children seeking medical attention for acute gastroenteritis in 2009 and 2010, with norovirus detected in 22% in 2009, and 20% in 2010.
The virus was also detected in 4% of healthy controls in 2009.
The research team identified rotavirus in 12% of children with acute gastroenteritis in 2009 and 2010.
The respective rates of hospitalization, emergency department visits, and outpatient visits for the norovirus were 9, 147, and 368 per 10,000 children younger than 5 years of age in 2009, and 6, 134, and 260 per 10,000 in 2010.
The estimated cost per episode was $3,918, $435, and $151, respectively, in 2009.
Nationally, the team estimate that the average numbers of annual hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and outpatient visits due to norovirus infection in 2009 and 2010 among U.S. children in this age group exceeded 14,000, 281,000, and 627,000, respectively.
The cost was more than $273 million in treatment each year. Dr Payne and colleagues concluded, "Since the introduction of rotavirus vaccines, norovirus has become the leading cause of medically attended acute gastroenteritis in U.S. children and is associated with nearly 1 million health care visits annually."

Buy Tickets for Museums in ItalyTour Italy Now makes it easy to buy tickets to Italian museums before you even get to Italy. Why buy your museum tickets in advance? Because we know that once you arrive, the last thing you'll want to spend your precious time doing is standing in line.

Though most museums in Italy don't require reservations or advance ticket purchase, we still recommend you buy early rather than find yourself waiting in a line that is just too long. Long lines are especially notorious at the Uffizi and the Accademia in Florence and the Vatican Museums in Rome. Some people even pass up seeing the wondrous art that's inside just because they don't want to stand in line. During high season, wait times can stretch to excruciating hours even in the smaller museums.
Italy is home to some of the world's best museums. The Uffizi alone shelters works from Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Titian, and Rafael. These beautiful canvases are amongst the best of the Renaissance. The Vatican Museums are like a whole city within themselves, so expansive that it's easy to spend the whole day there and still not see everything! The wonderful Roman sculptures you'll see there can only be topped by Rafael's frescoes, and of course, there's Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, which absolutely must not be missed.

Management of risks
The Texas AgriLife Extension Service office in Bailey County will conduct the 2010 Texas Cotton/Grain Risk Management Workshop from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday in Muleshoe's Bailey County Coliseum.
"We'll begin with an overview of available crop insurance products," said Curtis Preston, Extension agent in Bailey County. "Then, we'll demonstrate a new software tool we'll make available to producers that shows the risk implications of the different insurance alternatives."
Other topics will include a cotton and feed grain market outlook and a hands-on test implementing the lessons from the day.
Registration is $20 and due at the workshop.
For information, call Preston at 806-272-4583.
Wheat/meat session
The sixth Wheat & Meat Symposium at the Miami Community Center will run 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday.
Texas AgriLife Extension staffers will speak on factors to consider for wheat in 2010, beef cattle reproductive goals, defining the calving season and the cost of infertility in beef cattle.
Registration is free, and lunch will be provided. RSVPs are requested by Monday to help with lunch arrangements. Call or e-mail 806-868-3191, email@example.com, 806-323-9114 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cotton estimate lower
The estimate for cotton production in the Panhandle and South Plains keeps changing, according to Shawn Wade of Plains Cotton Growers.
The latest U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate put production at 3.78 million 480-pound bales, about 120,000 fewer than the last report.
Ginning basically is complete but still wrapping up, and Wade expects the final estimates in the spring to be down again.
