Hilasal works its bath niche
February 11, 2008-- Home Textiles Today,
At the New York Market – Hilasal is fixed on its niche this market, unveiling a new batch of bath ensemble collections designed for mid- to upper-tier retailers.
"We're differentiating ourselves in the marketplace with distinctive dobbies and proprietary constructions," said Larry Price, director of U.S. sales. "Our niche is the better goods. We learn toward the heavier towels with better yarns."
At the forefront is the new Organic cotton towel, certified by the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS). Made of 100% organic cotton, this collection boasts a softer hand than its counterparts thanks to the company's use of long-staple cotton yarns. Keeping it simple, Organic comes in white, natural and ivory. It carries a $19.99 suggested retail.
Harmony is a grouping of Egyptian cotton solid-colored towels bedecked with a decorative dobby border. The earthy palette for these 30"-by-56"bath towels includes silver, white, chocolate, Bahamas, spice and lime. It is priced to retail for $11.99.
The Regal collection employs an intimate blend of 70% cotton and 30% bamboo for an ultra-absorbent collection. These pieces are dressed up with a variety of jacquard dobby borders, including an animal skin-inspired pattern.
Pure is a nubby, four-ply towel collection that uses 100% ring-spun cotton. These pieces have a texture like that of a Berber rug. They come in six vivid solid colors.
Back to School is another point of differentiation this market for Hilasal, which has come up with a bath and beach collection of striped offerings for the younger set. Striped styles inspired by cabana, legacy or athletic gear come in nine colorways. Made of 100% cotton, these towels measure 30-by-60.

Huntin' for trout
I've never considered myself a trout "fisherman" as much as a trout "hunter". Yesterday was a good example of how and why. I took the afternoon off thinking the prospect for rising fish was looking pretty good. I entered into the park through Wears Valley around 1:00. I spent the next 2 - 3 hours "road hunting" from the sinks to the turn off to Elkmont. I stopped at all of the usual places and hopped out of my truck with my binoculars and glassed the surface of the water looking for rises. This is especially effective when you are 20 feet above the water surface. Every little disturbance becomes more pronounced when you see it through a pair of 8x30s.
I saw 3 risers. Two of them you never would have known were there with a casual glance of the naked eye. One was a rainbow tucked up next to a rock. Once about every 2 - 3 minutes she would porpoise and be gone in a flash. She has a sore lip this morning.
Where I grew up we looked down our noses at road hunters; called them lazy. Of course that was during deer season. I'm a certified road hunter now - for trout. Next time you see a guy standing next to his red Ford Ranger with a pair of Zeiss 8x30s in his hand peering down into a pool stop and say howdy. We'll hunt together.
I had the same idea you did. I was afraid I'd get run over on that road with all the stopping and such. I'd try driving slow and looking around only to see a convoy of tourists behind, not enjoying the scenery like I was!
It can be remarkably similar to hunting, good thing about it is,
your quary can swim away if you want it to...
Ain't nothing wrong with glassn' for fish...I like to do some recon as it were too, usually through a long lens of a camera, but the results the same...
Something I always like to tell folks when fishing the park for the first time is to just sit back and observe the water...don't even string up the rod yet - just be a conscietious observer...see what bugs and fish are doing, helps with giving some familiarity with the water and gives you a mental map of where the fish are and a course to take....and if nothing else, virtual fishing if you can't break out the rod..
You'd be suprised about how many big fish you'll spot this way...
May you find a rise in every puddle... - WATERBORN

HP Claims Someone Snuck Android Onto Its TouchPads, Opens Investigation
Jason Mick
October 6, 2011 9:51 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Android on TouchPad team dealt a setback in their efforts
With the
TouchPad's fire sale
, which saw units selling for as little as $88 USD, the short-lived Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) webOS tablet is chic again. Given that webOS, appears on its last legs in terms of support from HP,
developers are rushing to port
Google, Inc.'s (
) Android OS to the device to extend its lifetime.
shipped several TouchPads
mysteriously running an Android 2.2 "Froyo" kernel. The Android porting teams reached out to HP inquiring about these units. They argued that under Android's open source licens, HP must release the source code for these devices, including the firmware that drives multi-touch and wireless functionality on the device.
its response
, HP's Phil Robb, director of HP's open-source program office, claims ignorance of the Android build -- or at least feigns it.
But rather than leaving it at that, he goes on to say that HP is launching an investigation into how Android made its way onto those tablets. He writes, "We presently believe that some person or persons unknown may have facilitated the delivery of these Android-based units strictly against the policy and authorization of HP."
"Regarding your specific request for source code below, I must decline at the present time. HP has never authorized the distribution of any binaries for Android in association with the HP Touchpad. Therefore, HP is not under any license obligation to provide any corresponding Android source code to you."
Mr. Robb requested any information on the devices, to help it track down who put the supposedly unauthorized Android build on them.
HP's comments seem to infer that component supplier Qualcomm, Inc. (
) illegitimately and possibly illegally put the OS on the devices. The Android-endowed units flash the logo QuIC, or Qualcomm Innovation Center, a Qualcomm engineering subsidiary that works on optimizing open-source software for Qualcomm and its partners' products.
[Source: YouTube]
But QuIC at least claims to be oblivious to where the units came from as well. It sent a letter to developers denying that it manufactured or distributed the tablets in question.
Thus an interesting "Whodoneit?" mystery has emerged in the case of the Android TouchPads. Hopefully the Android development team gets to the bottom of this.
That said, HP's vows to "investigate" the incident feel a bit like beating a dead horse. After all, HP essentially said loud and clear that it didn't care about TouchPad or webOS fans, when it discontinued the device and began
laying off the webOS team
. So why would HP care if someone put Android on it?
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

Marsalis Music Honors Alvin Batiste
Marsalis Music
Clarinetist Alvin Batiste, whose life as a music educator has taken precedence over his recording career, is heard on one of his rare trips to the studio in this latest addition to the Marsalis Music Honors series. It's a treat for listeners as well as fans of the clarinet, an often-treacherous instrument not generally employed in modern jazz—and Batiste has largely tamed his instrument's maverick tendencies.
Recorded in June of last year in New York City, Batiste brought along a rhythm section of pianist Lawrence Fields and bassist Ricky Rodriguez, relative unknowns, as well as veteran drummer Herlin Riley, one of his former students at Louisiana's Southern University. And he added singer Edward Perkins on four tracks, as well as guest guitarist Russell Malone for four and producer Branford Marsalis, another former student, on soprano, alto and tenor saxes for individual tracks.
Batiste's darkly mellow clarinet sound is beautifully displayed throughout but is especially glowing on his own "Bumps," as well as his tribute to his wife, "Edith." And he clearly relishes a couple of standards, Hoagy Carmichael's "Skylark" and Buddy Johnson's "I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone." Other tracks of note include "Everloving Star," written by his son, Maynard, and "My Life Is a Tree," where Batiste has set music to his wife's lyrics.
Fields and Rodriguez, young players included in the session at the behest of producer Marsalis, show that there's plenty of latent talent in the hinterlands ready to enter the scene. Having guest artists such as Malone and Marsalis along for the ride certainly added variety to the session, as well as some really fine solo moments. The vocals by Perkins are inoffensive but also not very necessary.

I had looked for an area with pubs and villages in close proximity. It still turned out to be a long 10 miles.
Kinda wet but not too bad. Many pints. We stopped at the Swan in Swinbrook twice. once for lunch and then for a pint and a pee on the way back from the Widford chapel... Not worth the walk.
Highlight of the trip was the Swinbrook church with the fancy memorials.
Had trouble with the camera battery all day but kept getting it to work again.
First in Mayfield pub in Asthall. Met the woman who lives in the Manor. They were in the church out of the rain with us preparing for an annual sculpture exhibition.
Would have been a fabulous walk except for the light rain and the last 2 miles. Started missing Kelly alot today.

PSIBS students are thus involved in a wide variety of interconnected research topics and the Doctoral Training Centre environment and ethos are extremely conducive to multidisciplinary work. We believe the full potential of technical developments in chemical/physical sciences or engineering/instrumentation can only be realised through the application of innovative and sophisticated mathematical and computational tools capable of extracting and maximum utilisation of information pertinent to biomedical sciences – information which may otherwise lie hidden in 'raw' image data. With this in mind, projects are designed to ensure that on completion each student has expertise in, and has made original contributions to, a life science system, an imaging technology, and the associated mathematical/computational modelling, analysis or processing.

Miss Philicia:
Kate Middleton is preggars... like totallyThis is what happens when you don't listen to Coach Carrps: I hope Camilla made them both take HIV tests
Guess I'll have to stop watching The Today Show. They, as well as GMA, do almost daily royal stories. I'm sure they'll move them into the first half hour, which is usually reserved for hard news. They've obviously done research that viewers eat that up.
I wonder if they were pressured into having this child. The national enquire said so. :o
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that is different from the more common nausea and vomiting known as morning sickness. Dehydration, malnutrition, and other serious complications are the result of the "unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids."[1] Hyperemesis is considered a rare complication of pregnancy but, because nausea and vomiting during pregnancy exist on a continuum, there is often not a good diagnosis between common morning sickness and hyperemesis. Estimates of the percentage of pregnant women afflicted range from 0.3% to 2.0%.[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperemesis_gravidarumGod that sounds ominous - I hope she gets smoother sailing soon.
ABC World News led with this story. I think that is absurd! They had experts saying women who have HG are more likely to have a girl or twins. Then, they went into the need for a c-section, and then obviously one will be delivered first. So, that child will be the next in line, bumping Harry. And, of course, they had to discuss how Kate drank water recently for a toast, instead of wine like everyone else. Are the Royals on the NHS?

I have recently found out that alternative cooling solutions for graphics cards are not as popular as I expected them to be, according to the head of one large computer service center. It really struck me as very strange because most reference graphics card coolers are not efficient enough and if they are, they often generate too much noise. So why don't users go for something more advanced that would guarantee better cooling at a more comfortable level of operational noise?
In fact, the answer to this question is pretty simple: most of them are afraid they will lose their graphics card warranty, because not every user can remove the reference cooling system without leaving any marks or ensuring integrity of all stickers. However, in case something happens with the hardware, removed VGA cooler seems like a very good reason to void the warranty and refuse the exchange or return. So, gamers have to put up with high noise and an additional heat source inside of their system case, and when the graphics card warranty expires, the card is no longer powerful enough to satisfy their gaming needs, so purchasing a new cooling system makes simply no sense any more.
However, there is a group of users called overclocking fans who tend to know at least a little more than most mainstream computer users and what is even more important, who know what they need it for. These are the users for whom we write our articles devoted to new graphics card cooling solutions in particular.
Today we would like to introduce to you two newcomers from XIGMATEK and AURAS with highly original and even a little bit funny names. So let's get started!
Well, heatpipe direct touch technology that we are very well familiar with already from our CPU cooler reviews has finally made it to the graphics card cooling solutions. The first one to bring it on in the VGA market is a cooler from a company we all know very well already – XIGMATEK.
The cooler comes in a small cardboard box with a few cut out windows in the front and the back:
The cooler has a pretty vivid name: BATTLE-AXE VD964, a real battle axe with two blades. As we found out later, there is a very good reason for this symbolic name.
The cooler accessories bundle is packed into a smaller box sitting at the top of the main package. It contains the following items:
Now let's take a closer look at the cooler.
The size of this newcomer is not as impressive as that of the recently reviewed Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800, but it is still pretty big for a graphics card air cooler: it measures 194 x 110 x 32.4mm and weighs 617g. The cooler is really not that small:
The cooler sits on four copper heatpipes 6mm in diameter that form part of the cooler base. The heatpipes carry a heatsink array of numerous aluminum plates. The front of the heatsink is covered with a casing with two 92x25mm fans:
However, I cannot really explain why the heatsink plates are sort of closed at the bottom of the array creating a concave wall for the airflow generated by the fans:
It strikes as a pretty questionable solution for maximum efficiency, because otherwise the airflow from the fans could have cooled down the card PCB and its components.
It turned out that the cooler is actually much taller than the technical specifications claim: it measures 60mm instead of the claimed 32.4mm:
Maybe the manufacturer reported only the height of the heatsink array without taking into account the fans with the casing:
The casing can be easily unscrewed revealing two 92mm fans:
The fans are fastened with four rubber spindles that are inserted between the heatsink plates:
Note that in the center of the heatsink these spindles are not installed at all neither into the heatsink nor into the retention holes on the fans: they are shipped in a separate plastic bag. Looks like they couldn't figure out a way to insert them there, as it doesn't seem like an easy task. Besides the rubber jacks, the fans are also held by the casing on top of them, so you shouldn't worry that they will not be sitting reliably enough.
The fans use "Hypro" bearings and their blades rotate at a constant speed of ~2200RPM generating maximum 28dBA of noise at 40.2CFM airflow:
From my subjective standpoint, the cooler is a little bit noisy. It is a pity that its fans do not support PWM mode, however, you can manually power them from 7V or even 5V source. We are going to check it out later in this review.
The fans can be removed revealing more details of the cooler aluminum heatsink:
There is no base polishing to talk about here, but we definitely have to point out extremely big distance between the heatpipes in the cooler base. Take a look:
The aluminum parts between the cooler heatpipes is a little less than 3mm, so you may get the impression that this pretty big distance may gravely affect the cooler efficiency. You may get even more concerned when you check out the thermal compound imprint on the cooler base…
… and then on the graphics processor heat-spreader:
And if you install the cooler on top of a bare graphics chip, only two heatpipes will actually be working:
I would like to refrain from making any conclusions before the test results come in, but frankly speaking, the heatpipes placed so far apart concern me a lot.
The complete list of supported graphics cards is given in the Technical Specifications section of this review. The cooler can be installed on any of them very quickly and easily. First you fasten two metal plates bundled with the cooler to its base, then you insert the retention spindles into their corresponding holes and then set the graphics card on top of them. After that all you need to do is fasten the graphics card with spring screws at the back of the PCB:
The double battle-axe installed onto a GeForce 8800 GTX looks very serious and impressive:
The massive cooler design has an even greater effect if you look at the graphics card from the top:
I am sure that not everyone will dare install such a massive and heavy (617g) cooling system onto his graphics card. But if you decided to do it, then you should give up the next three PCI slots on your mainboard for good:
It is totally up to you to decide if it is worth it or not, we hope our article will help you to make this decision. In conclusion I would like to say that the recommended retail price for XIGMATEK BATTLE-AXE VD964 is seta round $45.
We are already familiar with AURAS products, but so far we have discussed and tested only CPU coolers from this company. Today we are proud to offer you a detailed review of their new graphics card cooler AURAS Fridge (JES-988).
The cooler arrived in a small flat box with very simple and light-colored design. The front of it bears a large photo of the cooling system inside and has a small transparent window revealing part of the cooler heatsink with heatpipes:
The reverse side of the box lists all supported graphics accelerators and shows the detailed dimensions of the cooling system.
AURAS Fridge comes bundled with the following accessories:
It turned out that AURAS Fridge (stands for "refrigerator") is a passive heatsink that comes without any fans. Although it doesn't at all mean that you cannot install any on top of it. The heatsink measures 227.2 x 134.4 x 34mm and weighs approximately 348g. It consists of an aluminum plates array of variable height that sits on four copper heatpipes 6mm in diameter:
The main distinguishing feature of the newcomer is the heatpipes positioning horizontal to the graphics card PCB. In other words, the heatpipes originating from the cooler base go not up or down, but parallel to the graphics card PCB, which allows reducing the cooler height and increase the effective cooling area of its heatsink.
There are total 54 plates in the heatsink array that are spaced out at 4-5mm, which indicates that the new cooling system is primarily designed to work in passive mode:
Without the fans AURAS Fridge turns out quite compact:
Although if you top it with a 25mm fan (or fans) it will be pretty much as tall as the XIGMATEK BATTLE-AXE VD964 we have just discussed.
The heatpipes originating from the cooler base are bent to get as close to the heatsink array as possible and move away from the graphics card PCB components:
The cooler base is made of nickel-plated copper and the heatpipes are slightly flattened to ensure better and bigger contact surface with the base:
The evenness and polish quality of the base plate are impeccable, as you can see.
The cooler can be installed on a pretty wide variety of graphics cards very easily. All you need to do is determine what retention holes to you for your particular graphics card and attach the cooler with four or two screws from the bottom of the card PCB:
When the cooler is installed onto a GeForce 8800 GTX based graphics card it may look pretty bulky, even when used without any fans in the passive mode:
However, the manufacturer designed the cooler capable of accommodating one 120x25mm fan or two 80x25mm fans. To fasten them you should use the bundled plastic clips that lock in the corresponding heatsink retention holes:
This very simple, convenient and reliable solution ensures quick installation of an active fan:
Don't even try fitting two 120mm fans onto AURAS Fridge heatsink, as the retention holes will not match. Besides, AURAS Fridge is smaller than 240mm (two 12mm fans combined). However, you can easily fit a pair of 80mm fans. In this case you will have to turn one of the retention plates with the retention facing downwards. Moreover, although the manual doesn't say that the cooler is compatible with a pair of 92mm fans, I could easily fit them both onto the heatsink fastening only at the top (I used the fans from the XIGMATEK cooler).
If you install AURAS Fridge in the passive mode, it will block only one PCI slot next to the graphics card. However with the fans attached, you will lose all three slots next to it:
The recommended retail price for this cooler is $44.99.
The table below sums up all the technical specifications of the new coolers compared with the recently tested Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800:
We tested the cooling efficiency of new XIGMATEK and AURAS graphics card coolers in a closed testbed only. The testbed was configured as follows
We put together the following testbed for our experiments:
Our quad-core processor was overclocked from the nominal frequency to 4GHz with the Vcore increased to 1.5825V. DDRII memory worked at 1066MHz frequency and 2.05V voltage.
The testing programs were installed under Windows XP Professional Edition SP2. We used DirectX 9.0c libraries, and ForceWare 171.16 graphics card drivers. The graphics cards were loaded up by running 3DMark06's Firefly Forest synthetic test ten times in 1920x1200 with 16x anisotropic filtering and 4x FSAA activated. We overclocked the graphics cards and then monitored their temperatures using RivaTuner v2.0.6 utility. We performed at least two test cycles for each cooler and waited for 10-15 minutes for the temperature to stabilize between each test cycle. The ambient temperature remained at ~25°C during the tests and is used as a starting point on our results charts.
The noise level of each cooler was measured according to our traditional method using CENTER-321 electronic noise meter. The subjectively comfortable level of ~34.5dBA is marked with a blue dotted line in the diagrams; the ambient noise from the system case including a processor cooler didn't exceed ~33.2dBA measured at a 1m distance.
Both graphics cards that will be used for our today's tests are equipped with a reference cooler by default:
The default coolers didn't limit the overclocking potential of the graphics cards, however, we couldn't raise the maximum frequencies any further even with the most efficient cooling solutions of our today's testing participants. The graphics cards were tested at the following frequencies:
I would like to add that we used the same Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound for all our testing participants.
Besides the reference coolers we have also included the results of one of the today's best air coolers for GeForce 8800 GTX graphics accelerator – Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800, and for GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB – Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 equipped with Turbo-Module. It is not an Arctic Cooling promotion. The thing is that there are hardly any really efficient and at the same time quiet coolers for graphics cards in the market these days.
The cooling efficiency diagram shows the coolers lined up in a descending order for the graphics processor temperature (GPU Temp) and ambient temperature (Ambient Temp) under maximum workload. First let's check out the results for GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB:
Well, finally there came the time when even a cooler like Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 becomes the least efficient solution (besides the reference cooling systems, of course). Both newcomers from XIGMATEK and AURAS demonstrated excellent cooling efficiency on the overclocked graphics core as well as in terms of the ambient graphics card temperature. Here I have to stress that in case of BATTLE-AXE cooler installed directly onto G92 chip only two heatpipes out of four actually work, because only to have direct connect with the chip. I doubt that aluminum plate gets the other two heatpipes involved into the cooling process, however, despite this fact the XIGMATEK cooler becomes one of the leaders of our today's test session. I said "one of the leaders", because the laurels in the most comfortable quiet mode belong indisputably to AURAS solution.
I think expecting AURAS Fridge to cool the overclocked GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB in passive mode would be too much to ask, because it is one of the top chips of Nvidia based graphics accelerators these days, which is also overclocked quite significantly. However, it easily copes with an overclocked GeForce 8600 GTS keeping its temperature at around 70ºC without any fans involved. As for the active mode, I have to say that a pair of two 92-mm fans is definitely more preferable than a single 120-mm fan in terms of maximum cooling efficiency. We checked out two possible positions for the single 120-mm fan: closer to the graphics card output panel and on the other end of the PCB right above the voltage regulator circuitry. In the latter case the chip and PCB temperatures were stably 2ºC lower that is why we would recommend this particular installation as preferable (see the corresponding photograph in our review).
Now it is time to check out the coolers performance with a GeForce 8800 GTX based graphics card, where our today's newcomers from XIGMATEK and AURAS should face an even more powerful opponent - Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800 that impressed us with its extreme efficiency but disappointed a little with lack of universality:
And again both new coolers perform great. Each of them is either as efficient as Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800, or outperforms it. We were extremely pleased with AURAS Fridge that provided not only the best GPU cooling, but also the best PCB cooling over the entire test session.
Now let's check out the coolers' noise:
Since we tested AURAS Fridge with the same fans as XIGMATEK cooler, I decided not to add the results for AURAS with two 92-mm fans to the diagram (they were within the ±0.1dBA measuring error from BATTLE-AXE). Other coolers range from the noisiest one to the quietest. Both new solutions generate very little noise in quiet fan modes and are uncomfortably loud in case of maximum fan rotation speeds. However, AURAS Fridge equipped with a 120x25mm fan working at ~800RPM is practically silent.
Two new graphics card coolers we have discussed today made a very positive overall impression. Nevertheless, I cannot help pointing out a few drawbacks that we noticed. XIGMATEK BATTLE-AXE VD964 has very large distance between the heatpipes in the cooler base, which may theoretically cause local overheating of some graphics chips that do not have a heat-spreader. To be fair I have to say that nothing like that happens on a G92 GPU and the cooler featuring heatpipes direct touch technology demonstrates impressive efficiency. I certainly cannot disregard the fact that the coolers block three PCI slots next to the graphics card and that the new coolers do not remove hot air outside the system case like the contemporary reference coolers do. We can also complain about the fact that XIGMATEK BATTLE-AXE VD964 cooler is missing the fan rotation speed controller and generates quite a bit of noise, while AURAS Fridge comes without any 92mm fans and proper retention for them in the accessories bundle.
You may be overwhelmed with these drawbacks, but the truth is that they all step back when it comes to unprecedented efficiency of these cooling solutions. These two graphics card coolers are indisputable performance leaders on graphics cards with bare GPUs as well as those with heat-spreaders on them. They outperform such well-known opponents as Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 and Accelero Xtreme 8800. Moreover, unlike the latter, XIGMATEK and AURAS solutions are universal coolers, which means that they make a much smarter investment than Xtreme 8800/2900.
All in all, I can conclude that today overclockers got another two highly efficient graphics card cooling solutions. And those who haven't yet made up their mind to replace the roaring reference cooler on their hot graphics card got another reason to think things over one more time.

Crock Pot Chicken Mole
Adapted from The Domestic Engineer
1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp.cinnamon
1 - 14.5 oz.can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 oz. bittersweet chocolate (I used semi sweet)
1 tsp. oregano
Salt and pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup water (or you could just sub 1/2 cup chicken broth)
Put chicken breasts into slow cooker, turn on low. Mine were breast tenders and they were frozen.
Saute onion in a bit of cooking spray for a couple of minutes. Add almonds and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often as not to burn the almonds. Add in chili powder, cumin and cinnamon, stir in for a minute. Add diced tomatoes with the liquid, chocolate, oregano, salt, pepper, bouillon cube and water (or chicken broth). Stir around and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Carefully place into a blender or use an immersion blender to blend together to make a smoother sauce. I left mine a bit chunky. Continue to cook until slightly thickened, you don't want to put it in the slow cooker too thin. When sauce is done, pour over chicken in slow cooker. Cook on low for 5 - 7 hours or until done. Shred chicken and mix in with the sauce. Serve over pasta, rice or baked potatoes. We ate ours over baked potatoes and broccoli.
Total calories = 1437 calories
6 huge servings = 240 calories per serving
Baked potato, sour cream, broccoli with chicken mole = 461 calorie dinner

The Zimmerman Case
The Zimmerman Case
Yes I know everyone else is calling it the 'Trayvon Martin Case', but he wasn't the guy on trial. The verdict of the petit jury did not take me by surprise. Indeed I hinted at it in previous comments on this website.
Right from day one it looked as though the Sanford Police Department got it right when they decided not to charge George Zimmerman. His injuries were consistent with his account of being attacked by Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was clearly not a racist and Trayvon was clearly not the 'butter wouldn't melt in his mouth' young teenager portrayed in the mainstream media, using carefully selected out of date photos. Why not go the whole hog and use cute baby photos?
Of course Zimmerman may have profiled Martin initially, but so what? It's a standard intelligence technique. The trick is not to take it too far. Most police officers and INS agents use it, even if they deny it. Pretending it doesn't happen is just silly. As long it's based on fact not prejudice profiling is fine. I fit certain profiles – English barrister etc.
The Injuries
There seem to me to be two critical pieces of evidence. The first was the injuries to George Zimmerman. These were consistent with his account that Trayvon was violent towards him and put him in fear of his life. If that account was right then Zimmerman was entitled to use force, lethal force if necessary. All the vaporing and posturing by civil rights and African American groups doesn't alter the facts as presented to the jury.
The 911 Call
Someone is heard screaming and shouting for help. That person was mostly likely the victim. The prosecution had to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was Trayvon Martin appealing for help. They couldn't. It doesn't sound to me like a case which turned on the onus of proof however. My impression is that the jury decided that it was George Zimmerman shouting for help. That was a view they were entitled to form.
Is George Zimmerman racist?
There is no evidence that he is, either from the facts of the incident itself, or his life story. He isn't white, he has no priors for racist assault or abuse and he isn't a vigilante. He was a neighbourhood watch captain, looking out for the community, for which he deserves credit. The attempt to portray him as a racist comes across as a character smear – an attempt to put Zimmerman in the frame if you like. It was almost as though Thames Valley Police were investigating!
The Jury's Verdict
It comes across as a true verdict according to the evidence. The jury saw and heard the witnesses and considered all the evidence. Their verdict has to be respected. I am not bothered by the racial profile of the jury. Far too much is made in my view of 'diversity' on juries. In my experience as a trial lawyer most juries are fair and reach verdicts according to the evidence.
I made this point in a letter to the New York Times after the O.J. Simpson case. If the copyright issues can be sorted perhaps VT could display it! I defended the mostly black jury in that case and suggested that an English jury, on that evidence would have reached the same verdict, stopping only for tea. There was clearly a huge problem with the prosecution case.
I still don't think Simpson actually carried out the murder, although he may have arranged it. The later civil verdict wasn't inconsistent with that in the criminal trial, since the standards of proof were different and the case was presented in a different way. If you're prosecuting you have to get your theory of the case straight. If it's murder two or manslaughter there is no point trying to stretch it to murder one. Make your case fit the facts not the other way round. Law and intelligence have a lot in common – each is an evidence-based discipline.

The Feds
The Feds need to back off, no offense. Someone needs to explain the concept of double jeopardy to Attorney-General Holder. There is no point the FBI or DOJ taking refuge in technicalities on state versus federal law. In practice they are talking about putting him on trial for killing Trayvon Martin, the exact same charge thrown out by the Florida jury. No matter how they dress it up it would be an outrage. Motive was thoroughly explored at trial and no evidence of a racial motive on the part of Zimmerman emerged.
If civil rights laws are misused by the DOJ then they may forfeit cross-party support for them. In the opinion of many on the right the pendulum has swung too far. In the UK we have an ongoing case at the moment, where an elderly lady of good character campaigning against gypsy encampments has been arrested by our heavy-handed police and charged with calling a gypsy a 'gippo.' The prosecution has caused outrage and brought the offense itself into disrepute, indeed clearly it needs to be taken off the statute book.
Florida Juries
The case was interesting as an illustration of the jury system in Florida. It's one of the few states where petit (i.e. as opposed to grand) juries consist of fewer than 12 jurors. Some states, like Arizona, have a smaller number of jurors for less serious cases, i.e. where you're not going to get fried or juiced if they find you guilty. I'm a fan of 12, but I cannot say that only having six jurors affected the outcome. In any event it's a matter for Florida. Her legal system has come out of this pretty well, standing up to enormous Administration and media pressure for a guilty verdict.
President Obama has further tarnished his reputation, with respect. He should have known better than to step into a second degree murder/manslaughter case on the side of the prosecution. The First Lady may be high maintenance – no offense – but she's not a bad lawyer. I am sure she told him to leave it to the jury.
My friend and fellow commentator Andy Martin, into whom Gordon may have bumped in Laos back in the good old days, has called for George Zimmerman's gun permit to be withdrawn! With respect I think that would be a great mistake. If I were George I would carry on carrying.
Good luck to HRH the Duchess of Cambridge with the baby!
From same magazine and internet site as last article Veterans Today; but this has a totally different perspective. Both writers make valid points in their articles.
I do concur especially with this writer who has a preference of 12 jurors vs. 6; but that is florida state law.
This writer takes on a pro-zimmerman stand and totally contrasts the other writer. Both of these beliefs are so on target with the population. It is appears it has become either or and I do hope all Americans learn from this and get past it wiser.
That an interesting article Shelah. I know in my own neighborhood I have been physically assaulted twice and If I owned a gun I would've done the same thing Zimmerman done more then once. Our neighborhoods are hurting big time with no help to turn to and people living in fear in their own homes from letting matters get out of hand. We've had foreclosures snapped up by investors using those homes to make money with by renting them and that robs us of permanent home owners willing to make the neighborhood better. There's a lot more to this then most understand and I sure agree about Obama didn't act to intelligent thinking he had to say something about this. His wife has a better upbringing then he did and if she told him anything my guess it would've been based more on common sense. From what I understand in her history her father placed the demand in supporting her schooling that she had to give back to the community. I kind of think that's been some influence in her life.
It has been really interesting to read both articles. I think it is better to research and think before forming an opinion.
Is he racist? Is anyone? I do thihnk we all have our biases but not necessarily to that extreme of being called racist. One sees geroge zimmermand trying to help the neighborhood by calling 911 (excessively?) and another sees an adult stalking a teenager who did nothing wrong.
Zimmermann was neighborhood watch. That is what they do. They watch and call police when needed or thought to be needed. I think he took his duties way too seriously which led to this entire situation.
I don't think it is so much based on race as it is on image and profiling that image.
Calling the police where I live is like self incrimination where I end up feeling like I'm the criminal. We live in a cul-de-sac with wall separating us from a school. Kids would tear the wall down to make a short cut and the school would have to be pressured into fixing it because they are responsible for them going to school there. One night somebody came in a truck and took the wall down. When the woman called the police they showed up about five hours after she called. I seen her disgust and mine surfaced to when the cop made a issue out of them needing more cops but us voters turned them down which was like making it sound like we were the problem. And then I stand there thinking murder got to be legal for numbskulls like this.
One night around midnight I call about some Mexicans drinking and cranking their music up loud. They were busy because a woman was having a graduation party for her son and she invited his father who ended up killing her and her boyfriend.
The years have left me with zero respect for the police even though I have met some nice officers. To be honest about it I do stuff with people I'm having a problem with to them so they will call the police on me. I actually have my best luck that way. I know when I hear Zimmerman should've listened to the police I don't feel that way. If the police and the city officials would've been doing their job that neighborhood wouldn't have needed a neighborhood watch in the first place.

Starkville Alderman Jim Mills' support for a second public referendum on bond money for new, renovated and expanded police, court and City Hall space deserves a detailed hearing.
However, both his fellow board members and Mayor Dan Camp should examine any proposal that would adopt a lower spending level and build inadequately for Starkville's growth needs.
Voters rejected in September, by a sliver of a margin, a $9 million bond issue that would have financed a new city court and police department headquarters. The September referendum fell 23 votes short of the required 60 percent approval.
Mills worked against passage of the September proposal on cost grounds, and that position deserves respect. But what is gained in the long term if a less expensive bond issue is adopted and the new facilities it finances soon after require expansion?
Starkville has grown to more than 20,000 residents and it is operating at official levels in buildings and offices for a city half that size. Nothing is gained if new facilities reflect a city of 15,000 residents and not a population pushing toward 25,000 or perhaps 30,000.
In practical terms, Starkville's city services operate for a city of more than 40,000, including Mississippi State University's 16,000 students.
The total head count for the university and the city will continue growing because economic and population expansion and enrollment increases are pursued intentionally by the city's and university's leadership.
We hope the aldermen and Mayor Camp continue exploring possibilities but choose as the next step nothing less than fully adequate investment for a city on the move.

The deadline for a candidate to secure the support required in order to move forward in the Americans Elect nominating process has now passed, with no candidate coming even close to the required threshold. Former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer made a frantic last minute push, but fell far short of his goal.
Under Americans Elect rules, this should be the end of the line. However, it seems that the organization will attempt to field a ticket of some sort and will make a major announcement later this week as to the future of the AE process. Some have speculated that this will involve rolling out a simpler national online primary that would feature a handful of qualified candidates chosen by the board. Others think the organization may just nominate one of their own, former Comptroller David Walker.
The following is an official statement by Americans Elect CEO Kahlil Byrd:
Over the past two years, Americans Elect has focused on achieving three clear goals:
* Gaining nationwide ballot access for a third presidential ticket to compete in the 2012 race;
* Holding the first ever nonpartisan secure national online primary at AmericansElect.org; and
* Fielding a credible, balanced, unaffiliated ticket for the 2012 presidential race.
Through the efforts of thousands of staffers, volunteers, and leadership, Americans Elect has achieved every stated operational goal. Despite these efforts, as of today, no candidate has reached the national support threshold required to enter the "Americans Elect Online Convention" this June. (Read a detailed summary of the AE process here and the full rules here.)
Because of this, under the rules that AE delegates ratified, the primary process would end today. There is, however, an almost universal desire among delegates, leadership and millions of Americans who have supported AE to see a credible candidate emerge from this process.
Every step of the way, AE has conferred with its community before making major decisions. We will do the same this week before determining next steps for the immediate future. AE will announce the results of these conversations on Thursday, May 17.
As always, we thank everyone who has participated in this effort and will honor the work, efforts and trust so many people have placed in Americans Elect.

Gary Johnson Reacts To June Job Numbers
Gary Johnson reacts to the June jobs report by issuing a statement via his campaign website:
The anemic jobs numbers for June simply confirm what Americans already know: That employers cannot and will not hire new employees with the federal government continuing to rack up trillions of new debt, a tax system that does all the wrong things, and massive uncertainty about the true costs of impending health care mandates.
Abolish income taxes, repeal the health care mandate, eliminate deficits, and then watch as American entrepreneurs and the private sector put millions back to work.
The time for hand-wringing and nibbling around the edges is past. We don't need a 10-year plan for balancing the budget; we need a 1-year plan. We don't need token reductions in income taxes; we need to eliminate them. And we need to elect a President and a Congress who get the simple fact that less government will mean more jobs.

Federal Revenues Are Historically Unresponsive To Top Marginal Tax Rates
With all eyes on Europe as France and Spain struggle to close their budget deficits while global markets anxiously wait for a final Greek exit to put a hole in the Eurozone, things seem quiet on the fiscal policy front here in the United States, but brewing under the surface is another big fiscal fight over the national debt, yearly budget deficit, and the debt ceiling.
One relevant principle in economics is the observable phenomenon that increasing tax burdens hinder an economy's outputs. In 1913, passage of the 16th Amendment permanently embedded the income tax into our lives, but the seemingly counter-intuitive inverse relationship between taxation rates and tax revenues ever since is well documented. Regardless of marginal rates, tax revenue as a share of GDP remained static in a narrow range of 18-20%, even in the 1960s when the top marginal tax rate was 90%:
Graph via AmericanThinker.com
These are interesting figures for a nation founded on resistance to unpopular taxes. At the Wall Street Journal, W. Kurt Hauser summarizes: "Tax revenues as a share of GDP have averaged just under 19%, whether tax rates are cut or raised. Better to cut rates and get 19% of a larger pie." If we eliminate the cable news, split screen, partisan mentality from the equation and focus on the numbers, it becomes apparent that we just can't tax our way to a balanced budget. Economist Antony Davies explains:
"[T]he richest 5 percent of Americans already pay a tax rate almost three times higher than the average tax rate of the remaining 95 percent. It's hard to argue that the richest aren't paying a fair share of taxes. Aside from that, for the richest Americans to shoulder the deficit, we would have to raise their effective tax rate to 88 percent. At 88 percent, a family earning $300,000 each year has only $36,000 after taxes—less than the average American earns."
"The budget deficit is so large that there simply aren't enough rich people to tax to raise enough to balance the budget."
Moreover, even if we could eat the rich, the accumulated windfall tax revenue would still end up in the hands of bureaucratic central planners under the false pretense that a single planner can act as an architect of the economic activity of millions of market actors. In The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), the founder of modern economics as we know it, Adam Smith describes this behavior by a "man of system":
"[Such a man is] apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it."
Economist James Otteson explains Smith's "man of system":
"The man of system faces a problem: individual people are not chess pieces to be moved only under someone else's authority. Individuals make their own decisions and move on their own. When individuals are constantly butting up against demands from the government that they find imposing or contrary to their desires, Smith says, 'society must be at all times in the highest degree of disorder.'"
But again, our history of marginal tax rates and total federal revenue as a percentage of GDP shows that rather than focus on taxes and revenue, getting the fiscal house back in order requires a sober assessment of the bipartisan spending problem. An intellectually honest dialogue about entitlements, a third rail of American politics, must occur at the national level. In their current structure, spending on programs like Medicare and Medicaid will engulf the budget in the next couple of decades. Any expectation of receiving future benefits from these programs requires serious, immediate cuts.
Mathematically, this perpetual runaway spending is simply not sustainable. No level of taxation will be able to keep it going, as the data above show.
LearnLiberty on Funding Government by the Minute
Take it away, Antony Davies:
The United States currently pays 3 percent interest on the government debt. Economics professor Antony Davies shows that this year the U.S. government owes $440 billion in interest alone. This is three times the annual operating expenses of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Suppose that on January 1 the government received its revenue of $2.2 trillion and began spending. To spend $3.8 trillion in one year means the government spends at the rate of $434 million an hour, or more than $10 billion a day.
With $2.2 trillion to spend, spending at a rate of $434 million an hour, the federal government runs out of money at 11:59 p.m. on July 31. To eliminate the deficit the government needs to cut five months' worth of spending. Professor Davies shows that perhaps just cutting programs is not going to be enough to balance the budget.
LearnLiberty on the Dangers of Too Much Debt
Another great video:
The United States currently pays 3 percent interest on the government debt. Economics professor Antony Davies shows that this year the U.S. government owes $440 billion in interest alone. This is three times the annual operating expenses of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Using data, Professor Davies shows that the situation is likely to get worse. Today the interest rate is the lowest it's been since the 1960s. If the rate rises to 8 percent, which is what it was 20 years ago, interest payments on the debt will be larger than the annual cost of every war the United States has ever waged combined. The more money the government is spending on interest, the less money it has available to provide other services.
So what should be done? The government should take advantage of today's low interest rate and pay off as much of the principle as possible now, before interest payments rise to unsustainable levels.

No Need to Fear the Sequester Cuts That May Never Happen
With the Super Committee's failing, Veronique de Rugy explains why we have nothing to fear from the sequester cuts. Even though the cuts have little effect on the growth of debt, as evidenced by this chart, Ms. de Rugy doubts they'll even be implemented:
…[H]ere is what makes me particularly grumpy: The American people can't even count on this tiny debt reduction, because it is unlikely that Congress and the president will let the sequester cuts be implemented — in other words, you can pretty much forget about the red bars. Of course, even the blue bars are rosy projections of our debt levels, since they assume that the spending cuts in the health-care bill will happen and that Congress will let the spending caps in the BCA work, among other optimistic expectations.

Corbin Hill Road Farm Share: A Hybrid Food Value Chain in Practice
by Nevin Cohen1 and Dennis Derryck2
http://dx.doi.org/10.5304/jafscd.2011.014.011, pp. 85-100
AbstractFood value chains consist of food producers, processors, third-party certifiers, distributors, and retailers working together to maximize the social and financial return on investment for all participants in the supply chain, including consumers. This paper presents a case study of Corbin Hill Road Farm Share, a newly created hybrid food value chain that engages nonprofit strategic partners to provide locally grown and affordable produce to low-income residents of New York City's South Bronx while also enabling Farm Share members to become equity owners of the farm over time. The case study shows that the involvement of community-based nonprofits is key to creating a food production and distribution system that engages a wide range of stakeholders, fosters shared governance and transparency, empowers consumers, and benefits regional farmers.
Keywords: civic agriculture, community supported agriculture, Farm Share, food sovereignty, governance, value chain

The Logan Longhorns are preparing for a new season of football in a new eight-man league.
The league was initiated by the New Mexico Activities Association following a recommendation from a committee that discussed the new league with several schools.
"Some smaller schools were concerned about the unlevel playing field against schools with more players than them, such as Logan," said Mario Martinez, associate director for the NMAA. One example given by Martinez was a school that had eight players and was up against one that had 35 players.
High schools with enrollments of 75 to 125 students have been moved up to the new eight-man league and have been organized into four districts, said Martinez.
The four Districts and their respective schools are:
*District I: Menaul of Albuquerque, Mountainair and Springer;
*District II: Animus, Magdalena, Pine Hill and Reserve;
*District III: Gateway Christian, Tatum and Valley Christian of Roswell; and
*District IV: Clovis Christian, Floyd, Logan and Melrose.
Superintendent of Logan Schools Carolyn Franklin said, "We are kind of new to football. We have only been playing six-man for seven years, but I feel we will be ready for the change."
Logan Football coach Billy Burns said, "I played eight-man football in high school. It's a great game.
"Running is a part of the game as well as passing but unlike six-man, it's not a game of single possessions. It's more of a field position game."
One of the most obvious differences to players, Burns said, was that Logan will now be playing on a 100-yard by 40-yard field. Last year Logan's field was 80 yards by 40 yards.
"We will need to go to the new 100-yard field if we want a chance at hosting a playoff game," said Burns.
Two schools making a move down to the eight-man league from an 11-man team, because of decreased enrollment, are Menaul of Albuquerque and Springer, said Burns.
This season Burns will be rebuilding his Longhorns team, as well as making adjustments to the new eight-man game.
"We lost nine players last year with graduation but look to have about 20 players with the upcoming freshmen," Burns said.
The students are excited and a little curious about the new eight-man game they will be playing, but that's to be expected, Burns said.
"Every year you want to do well and the players just have to get ready and fired-up for the upcoming season," said Burns, adding that practice begins Aug. 7.
