Bo lei, aka pu erh, is always something we used to wash down dim sum. I never gave it much thought and never knew what was involved in its manufacture: it was just one of the 'Chinese teas.'
I now realize I'm in one of the best places to be for someone who takes their tea seriously. While I'm still very much a newbie, I am absolutely loving the pu erh I'm drinking right now. It's just the best traditionally stored house blend the wholesaler about a block away had to offer, and I only went to her store because it was on my walk from work. While she was a bit apprehensive about the enormous Indian guy in a fedora and kung fu shoes walking up to her and telling her he wanted to buy some tea (in Cantonese even) at 9 am, when she'd just opened up for business and was still sweeping the steps, she ended up being very friendly and helpful. I really had no idea what I was buying, and just wanted some pu erh to drink at work. I think I can go back a little better informed thanks to Marshal's blog and the great posts I've read here.
I was surprised at how the pu leaves smelled like a basement (a Hong Kong basement, no less) but I am amazed at how cool and sweet it brews, and how it makes me voraciously hungry like no other tea in my simple collection can! The pu makes me eat twice as much!
I think the fact it was stored here makes it better for my health than tea that was stored elsewhere due to the native microbes, the ratio of which would be partially determined by the environment: a completely unsubstantiated theory at this point, but I can't deny I feel like a million bucks.
Also I think this new tea hobby is going to work out cheaper than connoisseur-grade, professionally roasted coffee and drinking beer: This $120 HKD bag (around $16 US), 150g bag is going to last me a long time, and I drink a little every day. That money would get me less than two weeks worth of coffee, let alone beer! I've only had one beer in the last week, and I've been drinking tea all day!
Now, if I get into connoisseur grade cakes and Yixings from master craftsmen, that money saving stuff is all out the window, but I think I'll stick to the loose offerings and cheap Jingde porcelain for now.

Soft and elegant, this all-organic nursery collection combines rich texture, soft fabrics and a variety of French-inspired prints, all in soothing natural and cream hues.

- If you use a blanket, ensure it is tucked around the sides of the crib mattress and covers your baby only up to the chest.

Skip to comments.Two East Texas coal power plants to be idled to meet emissions limits (EPA forces them closed)
Posted on 10/04/2011 9:05:05 AM PDT by tobyhill
Luminant, the Dallas-based electricity generator that has protested federal regulators' timetable to curtail emissions from its coal-fired plants, said Monday it will idle two of those facilities and stop mining Texas lignite at some locations by the end of the year, costing about 500 jobs.
Luminant said it took the actions to prepare to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which requires electricity generators in 27 states to cut emissions by Jan. 1, a deadline CEO David Campbell called "unrealistic."
The company said it will spend about $280 million through 2012 on emissions control equipment, but won't complete the projects in time to meet the deadline.
Also Monday, Luminant said it sued the EPA in federal appeals court, seeking to overturn the new rule. It said it will seek a stay of the rule's implementation "because of the immediate and irreparable harm that it will inflict."
Luminant is part of Energy Future Holdings, the former TXU Corp. It is the state's biggest power generator.
EPA spokeswoman Gina McCarthy said in a statement that the agency's rule "will prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths and thousands of asthma attacks by ensuring Americans do not have to breathe pollution emitted by facilities in other states."

Texas being punished for not voting democrat?
How about we close down the EPA instead?
Pray for America
Hey, this does not go into effect until January 1st
when Winter will make energy needed ...
only outside of the Emperor-by-Trick's 57 States.
Of course,
Congress and POTUS will have all the energy THEY need.
Perry, I heard, will have to request B O to suspend this order. I'll bet Obozo is just waiting for that with an outstretched hand.......NO, make that a middle finger. Oh, thank you Richard Nixon! :(
Who is Robert E. Lee?
DFW this is AF1 you copy?DFW you have us on radar?you copy DFW this AF1......
We will have blackouts next summer. We almost had them this summer.
Texas spent close to $7 billion on WIND power and when the hottest days hit, they produced squat! The wind don't blow when its that hot in Texas.
We could have spent half as much on natural gas fired power plants and had reliable power when it's needed. Instead the eco-freaks ensure that we will have blackouts.
The whole point is to reduce the amount of energy available for a capitalist economy. This is their goal.
Someone needs to call them on this - "OUT LOUD".
They'll die of heat stroke instead.
More jobs lost.
OK. What's Perry going to do about this?
Will he tell the EPA to shove it and kick them out of his state and let the SHTF?
Didn't Obama single out Rick Perry for being skeptical of AGW, and didn't FEMA, part of the regime, deny Texas disaster relief? Yeah, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.
"The whole point is to reduce the amount of energy available for a capitalist economy. This is their goal."
The "environmental movement" except among the deluded, "useful idiots" (Communist jargon), was never about clean air and water.
It is about throttling and obfuscating the undeniable, across-the-board wealth creation of capitalism.
""will prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths and thousands of asthma attacks by ensuring Americans do not have to breathe pollution emitted by facilities in other states.""
Yet the same jackass administrations bureaucracy just banned
the inhalers that treat asthma attacks because of the CFC's
in them. Obama is not only the enemy of the state but an
enemy of all mankind. Who ever voted for this jackass should
be ashamed of themselves.
Sure, 500 Texas families will suffer the loss of their livelihoods, but how can you compare that to the smug self-satisfaction of eco-bureaucrats and liberals who are sure that they're making the world a much better place?
In France, 14,802 people died during a 2003 heat wave.
In France, the vast majority of the people who died in that HEAT WAVE were the elderly. Without readily available air-conditioning, their cardiac and pulmonary systems could not cope with the stifling heat. Thousands were found dead ALONE in their apartments.
If you think the EPA would feel bad about that event, think again. A great way to reduce Medicare rolls. I'm not kidding.
Yes, and Obama mocked TX, and joked about the wildfires here.
Rick Perry has said that Texans don't take too kindly with being messed with. I believe that. I will support him (unless Palin jumps in, then I'm not sure) because I think he is the one candidate who if he becomes President will be serious about getting rid of all these bogus regulations, support domestic energy policy, protect the 2nd amendment, and actually support prosecutions for those involved in the ATF ops of this current administration.
I worry that other candidates, not so affected as Texas has been by these things will just say, the old "reaching across the aisle" bs, and "let's set a new tone of civility."
Sorry, I want to see heads roll, people kicked to the curb, and payback.
Will those jobs lost be counted as SAVED or CREATED by Dear Leader's apologists?
They want to see Americans without jobs and without opportunity. They want to see us forced to beg some corrupt Democrat official for food, electricity, gas for our cars, heat for our homes and medical care when our children get sick.
Wake up America. This is planned. This is deliberate. The Democrats goal is to create enough human suffering and human misery that people will be afraid to stand up for themselves and gladly surrender all that our forefathers have sacrificed and died for.
You omitted the elimination of asthma inhalers with freon/epinephrine that have been outlawed "because they damage the ozone layer". What remains is prescription only albuterol with "friendly" propellents at 4x the price. Many will die because they can't afford the more expensive inhalers after paying exorbitant power bills for ineffective "green" energy.
I just spoke to a guy in my state senator's office.
There is basically nothing he can do until 2013 when the legislature reconvenes.
All calls should go to ERCOT which is the comission apointed by the gov. Call them and put some serious pressure on them so they put presssure on the epa.
Good questions!
What say you, FR Perry supporters??
OK Rick, the hand is dealt!
"OK. Whats Perry going to do about this?
Will he tell the EPA to shove it and kick them out of his state and let the SHTF?"
If he did, he would become the immediate Republican frontrunner.
OK Rick, the hand is dealt!Indeed, his response will be telling.
Yep. Like Cain's "abolish the EPA" answer in Florida.
Real Jobs Pay Taxes, Not Raise Taxes
That needs to be the Republican answer to the "jobs bill"
They've gone mad with power.
This summer, they ordered the temporary shutdown of a coal plant I worked at years ago. All because the cooling return water to the river was 1 degree higher than their arbitrary limit...
It was record heat/humidity at the time but the bastards still forced the shutdown until the cooling system was upgraded. The margins at these plants are very slim and sitting idle for so long wiped out almost two years of profits.
There was no rationality, arbitration or discussion. Pure totalitarianism all according to The Ones plan...
How long and where will it be before they roll in their Eastern Bloc tanks?
If Rick Perry had any b@$#s he just would not allow the plants to close and tell the EPA to butt out. Now that might get him some presidential creds.
I thought Obama rescinded that EPA regulation by Executive Order a few weeks ago.
And since when does the EPA care about asthamatic individuals since they eliminated the use of convenient and fast-acting over-the-counter inhalers, like Primatene Mist?

Regardless of all suggestions and comments by his fellow Beatles,
Ringo's "feel" for what a certain song needed in terms of rhythm and style, his precise beat patterns and his unique (at the time, later heavily imitated) "fills" made him a great drummer.
I think he's the best "discrete and creative" drummer ever !!
By the way, it's kinda easy to spot tracks/songs in which Ringo's drumming is absent. Paul's drumming (and at least one case of George's drumming) do stick out (in the bad sense of the expression) because they're not even close to Ringo's.

Bucatini All'Amatriciana
Recipe courtesy of Anne Burrell
- Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces guanciale, cut in 1/4-inch strips
- 2 large onions, cut in 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
- 2 (28-ounce) cans San Marzano tomatoes, passed through the food mill
- 1 pound bucatini or perciatelli
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus extra for garnish
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Coat a large saucepan with olive oil. Add the guanciale and saute over low heat. Cook until it is brown and crispy and has rendered a lot of fat. Remove and reserve 1/3 of the guanciale for garnish. Bring the pan to a medium heat and add the onions and crushed red pepper. Season generously with salt, to taste. Cook the onions until they are translucent, starting to turn golden and are very aromatic. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for about 1 hour, tasting periodically. Adjust the salt, as needed.
Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the instructions on the package. Remove 3 or 4 ladlefuls of the sauce from the pot to a bowl, as an insurance policy. You can always add it back in but it's harder to take out once the pasta is in the pan. You're looking for the perfect ratio between pasta and sauce. Drain the pasta from the water and add to the pot of sauce. Stir to coat with the sauce. This is how you always finish pasta; you cook it in the sauce to perform the marriage of the pasta and the sauce. Add more sauce, if necessary. Add in the cheese and drizzle with olive oil to really bring the marriage together. Toss to coat and serve in shallow bowls garnished with cheese and the reserved guanciale.

Tom Pingel with Men's Junior National Team
Friday, July 4
The coaches chose not to practice this morning, given that we played 2 matches yesterday.
In what was no surprise, DOM defeated ESA and PUR defeated GUA in classification matches earlier in the day.
We start as we started yesterday. We hang with Cuba for while, but we can't match their physical presence and seem a bit intimidated at times. 0We lose game 1 25-19.
We start the same and the results are basically the same. We can't contend with the pace of their attack or jump serve. We even have some problems with their float serves. We drop set #2, 25-18.
We're the same way to start 3, except Brian Muesenfechter starts for Bourne. Despite trading points early and making a mini run on serves by Caldwell and Troy, it was Cuba's match for the taking and they took it – 25-20 in the 3rd to win 3-0.
Tomorrow we play for 3rd against the loser of the 2nd semifinal pitting Mexico v Canada.
Lots of Independence Day fireworks, but unfortunately it was Cuba lighting the fuse.
Hopefully, I'll be reporting a bronze medal victory for USA in tomorrow's final installment.

Nurse-led central venous catheter insertion: review of 760 procedures performed across three hospitals reveals a low rate of complications
- Department of Health, Nursing and Midwifery, University of the West of Scotland, Hamilton, UK
- Correspondence to Linda J Kelly
Department of Health, Nursing and Midwifery, University of the West of Scotland, Hamilton Campus, Almada Street, Hamilton ML3 0JB, UK; linda.kelly{at}uws.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
■ Nurse-led central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a safe alternative to medical led CVC placement.
■ Nurse-led CVC services can potentially improve organisational efficiency and patient safety.
■ Training, education and adequate procedural volumes are all necessary to ensure optimal outcomes.
■ Larger international studies are required to identify the impact of nurse-led CVC services.
For many years, CVC insertion was the doctor's domain. However, CVC insertion by nurses began to evolve in the late 1990s. This role has continued to develop with the number of nurse-led vascular access services steadily increasing. The measurement of the effectiveness of …

Zias win 2 of 3 in crossover
March 29, 2008
Freedom New Mexico
DURANT, Okla. — Catcher Lauren Rome went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a triple and five RBIs Friday night as Northeastern State pounded out 17 hits in handing Eastern New Mexico University a 9-2 loss in the Lone Star Conference softball crossover tournament, hosted by Southeastern Oklahoma.
Earlier, the Zias (17-18) extended their winning streak to four games and climbed back to the .500 mark by beating East Central 6-3 and Southwestern Oklahoma 5-2. ENMU faces Central Oklahoma and Midwestern State today, then finishes the event with contests against Cameron and Southeastern on Sunday.
Northeastern's Jessica Johnson (6-6) struck out seven and held ENMU to five hits. Haley Hays had two hits and scored both runs, while Rebecca Quinones and Alex Mayo Otis banged run-scoring doubles in the fourth and sixth innings, respectively.
Leadoff hitter Aimee Bohannan also went 4-5 and scored four runs for the RiverHawks (15-14).
ENMU 6, East Central 3 — ENMU sophomore Kristen Cruickshank survived 10 Lady Tigers hits and Jessica Pacheco's two-run double in the second put the Zias ahead for good.
Pacheco and Cruickshank (7-6) both went 2-for-3 at the plate for ENMU, which finished with nine hits off the Bulldogs' Dana McLaren (5-9). Second baseman Rebecca Quinones gave the Zias a 3-0 lead with her second homer of the season in the third, and Cruickshank added an RBI single in a two-run fifth.
ENMU 5, Southwestern Oklahoma 2 — Pacheco again went 2-for-3 and junior Natalie Woodside (6-9) allowed no earned runs on seven hits, walking none and striking out four in a complete-game pitching effort.
Sophomore Casandra McCommons' one-out, bases-loaded single in the fifth broke a 2-2 tie, and Pacheco followed with a two-run single.
Pacheco again went 2-for-3 while first baseman Anna Herskowitz was 2-for-2, including an RBI double in the first.

Each of these pressed-powder eyeshadow compacts has a unique, multicolor, tie-dye pattern, which Stila hypes as "innovative." It may look innovative, but performance-wise there is no innovation to be found!
While the powder does have a smooth texture and a satin finish that clings well, these kitschy shadows are more trouble than they're worth. True to claim, there are "countless color combinations" that can be achieved with these eyeshadows, but unless you're a very patient person with a steady hand and a stash of small brushes and you want to spend time figuring out which ones to combine, it becomes a frustrating memory game you will most likely lose. There is simply no guarantee you'll be able to get the color combination on one eyelid to match what's on the other eyelid.
For better eyeshadow options—including Stila's eyeshadow singles, check out our Best Products.
Stila At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive for a department-store/boutique line; the foundations are remarkable in most respects, especially shade selection and texture; bronzing powder with sunscreen; very good options for blush and eyeshadow; the Brow Polish and Lip Shine are standouts; several attractive, versatile shimmer products; great makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Convertible Eye Color and Kajal Eye Liner have too many weaknesses; some problematic lip glosses; the lip pencils are average at best. Skin care that means well but contains fragrant irritants.
Makeup artist Jeanine Lobell has been at the helm of Stila since its inception in 1994, and her creations have an impressive history of blending innovation with eye-catching, fun packaging. Of course, this innovation is not without its price, and you will find some rather ordinary products where the packaging or dispensing method is the only thing that's exciting. Where Lobell struck gold is with her superlative collection of foundations. We've examined hundreds of makeup lines for this and previous editions of this book, and Stila has had and continues to maintain one of the best collections of truly neutral foundation colors. For anyone confused about what we mean by "neutral tones," you need look no further, though we are pleased that more mainstream lines (including L'Oreal, Revlon, Clinique, and even Cover Girl) are now creating wonderfully neutral foundation colors. Stila's foundations aren't inexpensive, but it's critical to get a foundation that's right for you, and that may mean splurging. Other stellar categories include concealers, blush, eyeshadows, brushes, and much better mascaras than in years past.
Once an independent brand with a first-to-market approach to clever cardboard packaging that was sleek, urban, and utilitarian at the same time, Stila's presence and product lineup and distribution expanded (with mostly favorable results) when it was acquired by Estee Lauder in 1999. It was a bit perplexing when Lauder announced in late 2005 that it would sell Stila to "optimize our portfolio of brands" and put more attention (read: financial resources) into their M.A.C. and Bobbi Brown brands (Source: The Rose Sheet, April 17, 2006, page 4). Ironically, of those three brands, Stila has the most compelling collection of products. M.A.C. and Bobbi Brown are no slouches, but Stila always had a slight edge, at least in the complexion-enhancing categories.
An affiliate of Sun Capital Partners (naming itself Stila Corporation) bought the brand from Lauder in spring 2006 and has been at the helm since. Lauder's no longer owning Stila led to the brand's hasty exit from department stores, a move that left many shoppers wondering what the heck happened (and, at least in the stores we visited, the sales associates were vague about the line's future). Luckily, Stila still has a home in Sephora stores worldwide, and is randomly distributed in select department stores. That's great news, because there is much to love about this line, and the most recent crop of products proves that Stila has every intention of remaining a competitive player in the compelling game that is the cosmetics industry.

In the search for what is new and trending in menswear for Spring/Summer 2014, I always like to browse the social media site Pinterest, where you will get a sense of what is popular not only among the designers, but also among the buyers and wearers of men's fashion.
This week, I found a few favorite picks that I would like to share. First, is an ensemble by J Lindeburg, who can be found at Nordstrom's or www.jlindeburgusa.com, which consists of a leather motorcycle jacket that is done in a dark stone color with zippered accents. This style of jacket is an essential in any man's wardrobe and the color is a great Spring/ Summer neutral, which will blend well with the season's whites and khaki colors and is less of a harsh color than jet- black leather. The motorcycle jacket is paired with a tan shirt and matching khaki trousers, which are fitted and have a more modern ankle length. I also like the chocolate brown, patent leather lace-up oxfords that add some pizzazz and the silky brown scarf that adds an elegant flair.
Next, is an outfit by Emporio Armani: The thinner, white knitted mesh-like tank top and jacket may not be for everyone, but it is a fantastic way to have full coverage in the Summer, without the weight. If you are leery of the sheerness, then a grey or taupe tone would blend better with skin tones and make the sheerness less obvious. I really like the Armani pull-on white pants with the tie waist and also the grey leather, casual lace-up shoes.
One of the two men's accessories that caught my eye is this great canvas and leather, carry-all tote by Mark Guisti with the padded top handles and rope closure/shoulder strap, which is terrific piece for a day trip or an over-night.
The second accessory is this pair of JJ Surf Loafer Navy Men's Canvas Shoes with the mixed shades of blue and floral interior for a great pair of casual kicks.

The Extremist Senate Record of John D. Ashcroft
A Report by People For the American Way
About this Report
On January 4, People For the American Way published an overview of John Ashcroft's six-year record in the United States Senate. The report shows clearly that John Ashcroft does not meet the high standards of fairness and integrity required of the Attorney General. He has not demonstrated a sufficient commitment to equal justice under the law to be entrusted with upholding the Constitution and our nation's civil rights laws.

50 Citrus Recipes: Oranges, Lemons, Limes and More!
Key Lime Coconut Cake with Marshmallow Frosting [1]
Billowy Meringue Frosting tops a moist and buttery lime-flecked cake whose subtle coconut flavor comes from canned cream of coconut.
Orange Shrimp with Zucchini Fritters [5]
A colorful, healthy dinner of shrimp and vegetable fritters includes dipping sauce with Greek yogurt and orange-ginger flavoring.
Orange Shrimp with Zucchini Fritters [6]
Hint-of-Orange Pancakes with Grapefruit Syrup [9]
This recipe couldn't be simpler! Just simmer grapefruit slices in maple syrup for a delicious, rosy compote to serve over waffles, French toast, crepes—or these subtly orange-flavored pancakes.
Triple Lemon Pie [13]
This pie earns its triple-lemon name from lemon zest, lemon juice and lemon extract. (You can add lemon slices and whipped cream on top of the baked pie for even more lemony goodness.) A store-bought piecrust speeds prep time.
Triple Lemon Pie [14]
Grapefruit and Kiwifruit Salad [17]
Homemade Grapefruit Vinaigrette tops a juicy salad of grapefruit sections, kiwifruit, sliced fennel and crumbled bacon.
Pepper-Lime Shrimp and Grits [21]
Mexican flavors give a fresh twist to this classic Southern dish. Best of all, each serving has only 382 calories!
Eggs Benedict with Maltaise Sauce [25]
What's Maltaise Sauce, you ask? It's just hollandaise sauce with a bit of orange zest and juice added. But you wouldn't believe how that bit of zing transforms this brunch standard.
Lemony Green Beans [29]
Garlic, shallots and lemon brighten crisp-tender beans. Save time by parboiling the green beans a day early.
Lemony Green Beans [30]
Chocolate-Smeared Baguette with Quick Citrus Jam [33]
You could serve the zingy Quick Citrus Jam on its own with buttered bread or English muffins, but for special occasions, try this extra-indulgent breakfast combo of melted chocolate on bread with the jam.
Spicy Orange Chicken [37]
Cook chicken in a mix of fresh orange juice, soy sauce, honey and ginger, then serve over wilted spinach. Crushed red pepper adds heat; adjust to suit your taste.
Spicy Orange Chicken [38]
Meyer Lemon Pots de Crème with Honeyed Kumquats [41]
The creamy lemon puddings look and taste sophisticated but are actually quite simple to make, and they can even be prepared in advance.
Citrus Liqueur [45]
Have you heard of limoncello? You can make the classic Italian liqueur with almost any citrus fruit. (Only lime doesn't work.) Serve the chilled liqueur with sparkling water, sip it chilled alongside chocolate truffles or try drizzling it over strawberries for a boozy pound cake topper.
Citrus Liqueur [46]
Jerk Pork Wraps with Lime Mayo [49]
Prepare pork shoulder in the slow cooker, then whip up dinner in a flash. The Lime Mayo topping uses fat-free mayo, so it doesn't add heaps of fat or calories.
Orange Tabbouleh [53]
This hearty, healthy salad combines juicy fruit, flavorful fresh herbs and warm spices. Even people who are skeptical of the nutritious bulgur wheat will be surprised how much they like it.
Orange Tabbouleh [54]
Fish Tostadas with Chili-Lime Cream [57]
Top crunchy tostadas with broiled tilapia fillets, veggies and a zesty chili-lime cream.
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Toasted Fennel-Lemon Cake [61]
This moist beauty begs for a mug of afternoon tea. Fennel seeds add the faintest hint of licorice flavor, just enough to make the cake stand out from the other Bundts in the room. We like the sweeter flavor of Meyer lemons in this cake. Look for them sold in bags at large supermarkets. If you substitute regular lemons, reduce the zest to 2 tablespoons.
Coconut-Lime Chicken Soup [65]
Start with a rotisserie chicken, and you can whip up this Thai-inspired soup in less than 30 minutes.
Smoked Turkey Salad with Oranges [69]
Quartered oranges and orange vinaigrette dressing add a big citrus splash to this main-dish salad.
Smoked Turkey Salad with Oranges [70]
Swedish Lemon Pancakes [73]
A delicate crepelike pancake folds like an envelope around tangy lemon curd in this pretty brunch dish from Abilene's Victorian Inn in Kansas. The whipped sour cream topping is a breeze to make.
Garlic-Roasted Chicken with Lemons and Vegetables [77]
This flavor-packed dish combines garlic-infused chicken with perfectly cooked vegetables. Roasting the lemon in the pan brings out its flavor.
Broccoli with Orange-Cream Sauce [81]
Combine orange juice concentrate and sliced almonds with whipping cream for a rich side-dish sauce. If you're trying to cut calories and fat, use half-and-half or milk instead, but the sauce won't be as thick.
Candied Citrus Peel [85]
If you can resist munching on all these chewy, sweet citrus bits, you'll find plenty of ways to use them in your kitchen. We like stirring chopped peel into granola or cookie batter, sprinkling it over vanilla ice cream, or dipping the pieces in chocolate. Keep in mind that lime peel does not taste particularly good when candied.
Candied Citrus Peel [86]
Lemon-Rosemary Chicken with Roasted Vegetables [89]
Rub a blend of lemon peel, rosemary, thyme, parsley and garlic on the chicken before baking; Add fresh thyme sprigs and garlic bulbs around the chicken for even more flavor. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots make this a one-pan meal.
Fresh Citrus and Cranberry Salad [93]
Mint and ginger add kick to an arugula salad topped with chopped fresh cranberries.
Lemon-Herb Grilled Chicken [97]
Herbed lemon marinade cooks down with honey to a glossy, gorgeous glaze that gives this chicken a golden color.
Green Tea Soda [101]
Brew this refreshing drink with green, ginkgo or ginseng tea mixed with honey. When the liquid cools, stir in your choice of fruit juices, such as orange or tangerine and lemon or lime. Add assorted fresh fruit and plain or flavored sparkling water just before serving.
Green Tea Soda [102]
Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings [105]
Mix cider vinegar, Jamaican jerk seasoning, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil and soy sauce for this version of jerk marinade. Let chicken marinate 4 to 24 hours, and it'll be ready to go on the grill. Serve with Mango Salsa for more Caribbean flavor.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings [106]
Mango Salsa [107]
Fish Fillets with Cucumber-Orange Salsa [110]
Make a quick salsa from cucumber, red onion, a chopped orange and seasoning blend to serve with fish filets.
Lemon-Basil Pasta [114]
Lemon, basil and olive oil form a pestolike sauce to complement the linguine and kidney beans. From start to finish, this five-ingredient dinner takes only 25 minutes.
Lemon-Basil Pasta [115]
Citrus Salmon with Broccoli [118]
Cook tender salmon fillets in your skillet with a simple lemon juice-sugar combination and a sprinkling of fresh dill. Broccoli or green beans round out this quick and easy dinner.
Citrus-Herb Roasted Chicken [122]
Garlic, fresh herbs, spices and citrus make this roasted chicken special.
Lemon Curd Tart [126]
"The lemon curd is one of our favorite workhorses," says Patrick Groth of Incredibly Delicious in Springfield, Illinois. "My mother, who has worked for us for the last 16 years, is the only one who makes it. Hers is perfect, tart and smooth."
Lemon Curd Tart [127]
Ravioli with Peas and Lemon Pesto [130]
Peas, pesto, lemon zest and toasted hazelnuts add fresh flavor to ravioli.
Blueberry-Topped Lemon Cheesecake [134]
This recipe features a luscious fresh blueberry sauce on creamy lemon cheesecake.
Tangy Citrus Lemonade [138]
Mix honey with fresh lemon and lime juice, then add fresh or frozen raspberries for this party-perfect lemonade.
Tangy Citrus Lemonade [139]
Orange-Kissed Chocolate Brownies [142]
Orange buttercream frosting and melted chocolate top a brownie base for a decadent combination of flavors.
Citrus Tuna Pasta Salad [146]
Yellow sweet peppers, artichoke hearts, ripe olives and a light lemon-herb dressing highlight this colorful pasta salad.
Citrus Tuna Pasta Salad [147]
Summer Breeze Lime Pie [150]
A triple dose of lime—zest, juice and curd—gives this dreamy pie its refreshing flavor. The pretzel crust adds unexpected salty punch.
Summer Breeze Lime Pie [151]
Orange-Honey Sweet Rolls [154]
The recipe for these hearty rolls comes from Jean Hixson of the Kansas Wheat Commission. They'll keep in an airtight container for a couple days, or you can freeze them (unfrosted) for up to 2 months. They're best served warm, so when ready to eat, wrap the frozen cinnamon rolls in foil and bake about 25 minutes in a 300° oven. Frost as directed.
Orange-Honey Sweet Rolls [155]
Lemon-Rosemary Pork Loin with Cherry Sauce [158]
The classic fruit and pork combo gets a bold update: Slather the meat with a paste of garlic, mustard, lemon and rosemary, then serve with ruby red cherries. This recipe multiplies easily for entertaining.
Luscious Lemon Bars [162]
Sweet and tart, these moist, powdered-sugar-topped dessert bars will disappear fast.
Luscious Lemon Bars [163]
Orange Maple Roasted Chicken and Mashed Potato Waffles [166]
These tender waffles have mashed potatoes in the batter, along with thyme, garlic and onion. We've traded the usual pancake syrup for a silky maple-orange gravy made with drippings from the chicken.
Orange Maple Roasted Chicken and Mashed Potato Waffles [167]
Lemon Chicken Lasagna [170]
No-boil lasagna noodles, a jar of Alfredo sauce, and a package of refrigerated or frozen cooked chicken breast strips make this lasagna a snap to put together. Ricotta, Fontina and Parmesan cheeses, along with lemon zest, add flavor.
Lemon Chicken Lasagna [171]
Orange-Spiced Corned Beef [174]
Dried fruit, orange juice, molasses and spices dress up corned beef with lively new flavor in this slow-cooker recipe.
Orange-Spiced Corned Beef [175]
Crustless Lemony Cheesecake [178]
This cheesecake bakes in a souffle dish or casserole inside your slow cooker and surrounded by warm water. The result is a delicate dessert, lower in calories than many traditional cheesecakes.
Fresh Fruit with Orange-Honey Yogurt Sauce [182]
Add a dash of color to your breakfast table with this recipe—a rainbow of fruit with Orange-Honey Yogurt Sauce on the side.
Cranberry-Lemon Scones [186]
Fresh cranberries and lemon zest add texture and flavor to these tender scones. Drizzle with powdered sugar icing and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Cranberry-Lemon Scones [187]
Chicken-Romaine Salad [190]
Dried berries give a burst of fruit flavor to this easy recipe that starts with rotisserie chicken.
Chicken-Romaine Salad [191]
Kansas-Style Lime Pie [194]
Line zest and lime juice combine in this light, airy and easy-to-make dessert from a Kansas bakery. The recipe gives instructions for an orange variation, too.

Fair or Foul Fowl: The Obama Big Bird Ad from a Copyright PerspectivePosted by Marc Ostrow in Copyright, News, The Business, tags: Big Bird, copyright, fair use, first amendment, free speech, Obama, parody, right of publicity, Romney, Saturday Night Live, trademark
In anticipation of tonight's debate, I'd like to discuss, from a non-partisan IP law perspective, something that came out of the first Presidential debate: the Big Bird ad. I think the ad and the Sesame Street folks' response raised some interesting questions of fair use, parody and first amendment rights that are applicable to composers and performers.
As we know, it started with a comment that Republican contender, Gov. Mitt Romney, made to the moderator, Jim Lehrer of PBS , about cutting federal funding for PBS programs, including Lehrer's own NewsHour and Sesame Street. Mr. Romney specifically singled out Big Bird for the budget ax. Thereafter, Big Bird, who claims he's normally in bed well before 11:30 p.m., made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update to address the issue. Being non-partisan, however, Mr. Bird declined to make any political pronouncements, stating, "No, I don't want to ruffle any feathers."
Unfortunately, he managed to do so, courtesy of a TV ad from President Obama's campaign. Prominently featuring Big Bird and the familiar green Sesame Street sign, the ad has a satiric quality to it that one doesn't typically see in Presidential campaign ads. It seemed, at least to me, more like one of the fake ads produced by Saturday Night Live. But it's real and Sesame Workshop, the company that owns the rights to Sesame Street and its many characters, made it known that they are not amused.
Sesame Workshop's demand that the Obama campaign cease using the Big Bird ad has been widely publicized. But you might well ask, "doesn't the President's campaign have a First Amendment right to use Big Bird?" After all, "political speech" is the very core of our right to free speech. And wouldn't the use of Big Bird constitute "fair use" under copyright law? Wouldn't it be considered a protected "parody"? Read the rest of this entry »

Develop your disability awareness
To support the inclusion of disabled people in swimming, the Institute of Swimming (IoS) provide a free online seminar which takes just one hour to complete.
With the Paralympics only months away, there will be much interest in our sport from parents, children and many others involved in some way with the disabled. Swimming is already the most popular disabled adult participation sport by far and the likes of Ellie Simmonds and Matt Walker will hopefully provide a great deal of inspiration to millions of spectators.
Now is the time to develop your own awareness in what is involved in teaching and coaching children and adults with a disability. It's a great opportunity to expand your skills and help support and encourage both participation amongst the general population and the identification of future talent.
For starters, why not complete an online workshop which provides a great introduction to disability swimming. It's FREE, takes just one hour to complete and covers best practise and how to support the inclusion of disabled people in swimming and swimming clubs. Over the coming months we will be providing more dedicated tools and resources including a specialised toolkit to help with talent identification.
Simply register for the workshop on the IoS Online website and enter the discount code CSO152GYJ5 at the checkout.

My questions is not listed above, who do I contact?
What is Annual Giving?
This is a term used for the annual fundraising drives conducted by the Division of Institutional Advancement. Solicitations are made via the telephone, direct mail, and the internet.
Who do we contact?
Alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.
Will I get a separate call from my college, school, or department?
No. Phonathon student callers contact alumni from each college. You may always inform the student to direct your gift to a particular department or fund. In rare cases, you may also be contacted by a staff person from the University in connection with a special project. We encourage everyone to make a regular annual gift to DSU. Your participation is important to us.
Where does the money go?
To support academic programs such as scholarships, graduate fellowships, library resources, computer upgrades, program enhancements, chairs, professorships, and research that directly benefit the faculty and students here on campus and for athletics support.
How much of my gift really goes where I want it to go?
100% of each gift is guaranteed to go to the designation specified by each donor.
Why do you conduct a telephone campaign?
A significant portion of DSU's budget comes from federal and state allocations – the remainder must come from other sources, such as tuition and private gifts. We find that a quick friendly telephone call from a current student is a pleasant way for you to stay connected to the university, and for the student to be able to explain opportunities to support academic programs.
Where is the Phone-a-thon Center located?
The second floor of the Administration and Student Services Building and adjacent to the Office of Development. This is a convenient location for our student callers.
Are the callers really DSU students?
Yes. We employ 10-15 students throughout the year. In some cases, a student may continue working part-time after graduation.
Is the student a volunteer?
No. With over 10,000 alumni to contact, this provides a wonderful opportunity for students to earn money for college, while gaining valuable office and communications experience.
When do you call?
Our normal hours of operation are Monday thru Thursday evenings. We comply with all applicable state and federal regulations and do not call after 9 pm.
Why did I get called twice?
Typically all alumni should only receive one call from a Phonathon caller. Occasionally, you will receive a second call if both you and your spouse or significant other are alumni, or if you are a parent of a current student, or if your child is a graduate of DSU and still living at home according to our records.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes, 100%. Once we receive your gift, you will receive a thank you letter verifying that your gift has been deposited into the account you have specified.
May I use my credit card?
Yes - once you receive your pledge card in the mail, you will see instructions for using your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
Is this the Delaware State University Alumni Association?
No. The Delaware State University University Alumni Association (DSUAA) seeks memberships from all graduates of Delaware State University. Annual membership dues are $25. These memberships are not charitable contributions and are not tax deductible. You may find more information about the Delaware State University Alumni Association at www.desu.edu/alumni.
Can I pay my DSU Alumni Association dues through the Phonathon?
No. These memberships are not charitable contributions and are not tax deductible.
May I choose where I want my gift to go?
Yes. While unrestricted funds are always needed, many alumni choose to designate a gift to any department, college, scholarship fund, other academic program, or athletics at the University.
Can I call you back?
Our students only work part-time, in the evenings, so it's very difficult to reach the particular student who may have attempted to reach you. You may call our Annual Fund Office at 302-857-6056 with your questions or concerns, Monday thru Friday 8:30a.m. until 4:30p.m. EST.
Will my company match my gift?
Very possibly! Hundreds of national companies will match a gift by an employee. This can double or even triple your gift to the Delaware State University. Contact your Human Resources Office for details. Note: spouses of employees, retired employees, and board members are often eligible for the match as well.
How does this work, exactly, if I want to make a gift?
It's easy! Simply tell the student how much you would like to pledge. Then we will send you a pledge form, with all pertinent details spelled out. An envelope will be provided for you to return your gift. It's that simple!
Can you send me a blank pledge card?
Yes. We will be glad to send you a packet of information for you to peruse at your convenience. When you receive this packet, we hope we can count on your participation.
May I select the student to receive my gift that is earmarked for scholarships?
No. In keeping with IRS regulations, a donor may not select the benefactor of a particular scholarship. The DSU Scholarship Committee is careful to strictly adhere to donor restrictions when determining the DSU scholarship recipients.
My questions is not listed above, who do I contact?
If your question is not answered above, please contact us at email@example.com.

Topic: How much ruby is needed to work efficiently with rails?
Hi there,
I've also just started with ruby and rails - I have done the basic tutorials for both of them, went on numerous sites to trying to find good books/tutorials/etc. I obviously don't understand much of what's going on yet, but things do seem to make sense, slowly.
My question is pretty simple: how much of the ruby programming language should I know before jumping into rails and trying to make applications? I know my question might sound vague, and the answer is probably different for everyone, but what I mean is can I learn ruby while making things with rails? Or is that a waste of time and I will just be confused a greater deal? Should I lock myself up with ruby books and study those meticulously before doing anything else?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dall's porpoise
Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) is a species of porpoise found only in the North Pacific. It came to worldwide attention in the 1970s when it was disclosed for the first time to the public that salmon fishing trawls were killing thousands of Dall's porpoises and other cetaceans each year by accidentally capturing them in their nets. Dall's porpoise is the only member of the genus Phocoenoides. It was named after American naturalist W. H. Dall.
Physical description
The unique body shape of Dall's porpoise makes it easily distinguishable from other cetacean species. The animal has a very thick body and a small head. The colouration is rather like that of a killer whale; the main body of the porpoise is very dark grey to black creeper, with very demarcated white patches on the flank and belly. The dorsal fin is set just back from the middle of the back and sits up erect. The upper part of the dorsal fin has a white to light grey "frosting".
The fluke has a similar frosting. The adult fluke curves back towards the body of the animal, which is another distinguishing feature. It is larger than other porpoises, growing up to 2.3 m (7.5 ft) in length and weighing between 130 and 220 kg (290 and 490 lb).[3] There is also sexual dimorphism in the species, with males being larger, having a deeper caudal peduncle and a pronounced hump behind the anus.[3] Young Dall's have a greyish tint and dark-colored flukes.
Population and distribution
Dall's porpoise ranges through much of the North Pacific and nearby seas, such as the Bering and Okhotsk Seas and the Sea of Japan. The southernmost part of its range is southern Japan in the west and southern California in the east, while it is northernmost range is the central Bering Sea.[4] They do enter Scammon's Lagoon in Baja California, though, when the waters are unseasonably cold.[5] They also travel up to the Chukchi Sea, though very rarely.[4]
Dall's porpoise prefers cold waters more than 180 metres (590 ft) deep .[3] It is found over the continental shelf adjacent to the slopes and oceanic waters.[6] While it mostly lives in offshore waters, it does occur in deep coastal waters on off North America.[4] There, it typically stays close to deep-water canyons.
Two consistent and well-defined colour morphs, the dalli-type and the truei-type, have been identified. The dalli-type is present throughout the porpoise's range, while the truei-type lives mostly on the western Pacific and is rare in the east.[3] There is some question as to whether the morphs are merely colour patterns (the truei-type having a more extensive belly patch) or whether they are separate subspecies.[5].[7] They are believed to number around 104,000 off Japan, 554,000 in the Okhotsk Sea, 83,000 off Alaska and 100,000 off the continental US.[4]
Ecology and lifestyle
Dall's porpoises primarily eat small fishes(of numerous species) and cephalopods.[4] Schooling fish, such as herrings, anchovies, pilchards, mackerels, hake and sauries[3][4] are favored prey, as well as mesopelagic fish such as myctophids and deep sea smelts.[4] They may also consume krill, but these are probably not important in their diet.[4] Dall's porpoise are also deep divers. They have been recorded to dive to 94m.[8] Dall's porpoise are prey to killer whales and white sharks. They also are susceptible to certain parasites. The trematode fluke Nastitrema, an internal parasite, is known to cause death and stranding of the porpoises.[4] External parasites of the porpoise are whale lice.
Dall's porpoises are highly active creatures. They will often zigzag around at great speed on or just below the water surface, creating a spray called a "rooster tail". They may appear and disappear quite suddenly. The fastest of all small cetaceans, Dall's porpoises can swim at up to 55 km/h, almost as fast as the killer whale. The porpoises will approach boats and will bow- and stern-ride, but may lose interest, unless the boat is travelling quickly. They will also "snout ride" on waves made by the heads of large whales.[4] They may also do more calm behaviors, such as subdued rolls at the surface.[4] They rarely leap from the water.[4]
Dall's porpoises live in small, fluid groups of two to 12.[3] However they can gather in the hundreds when feeding.[3] They have a polygynous mating system in which males will guard females in estrus.[9] During the mating season, a male will select a fertile female and guard her to ensure that he will sire her calf.[9] While guarding, males may sacrifice opportunities to forage in deep dives.[9] Births usually take place in the summer.[4] Porpoise gestation lasts 10 to 11 months, and the lactation period lasts at least two months.[3] Depending on their condition, females can give birth up to every year.[3] Dall's porpoises live for up to 15 years.
One study[10] determined through DNA sequencing that a fetus found in British Columbia was an intergeneric hybrid of a Dall's porpoise and a harbour porpoise. This hybrid may not be rare— it may describe the origins of some atypically coloured individuals that otherwise appear to be Dall's porpoises spotted off the coast of Vancouver Island.
Conservation status
Many Dall's porpoises are killed each year as by-catch in fishing nets.[citation needed] A serious cause of concern is the hunting of the species by harpoon by Japanese hunters[citation needed]. The number of porpoise caught each year rose dramatically following the moratorium on hunting larger cetaceans introduced in the mid-1980s. The greatest number were caught in 1988, when more than 40,000 were taken. International attention to the hunt through a 1990 International Whaling Commission (IWC) resolution resulted in a reduction in numbers caught; however, around 15,000 animals are still caught each year, making it the largest direct hunt of any cetacean species in the world. The hunt has been repeatedly criticized by the IWC and its Scientific Committee, most recently in 2008.[11] A quota of just over 16,000 individuals per year is now in effect. In addition, unknown numbers of animals are struck and lost or caught as by catch. Despite these threats, Dall's porpoise remains a fairly common species with productive populations.
Dall's porpoise is listed on Appendix II[12] of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). It is listed on Appendix II[12] as it has an unfavorable conservation status or would benefit significantly from international co-operation organized by tailored agreements.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Nice scenic raceIn full: The third time I've run this race so the last 2 miles shouldn't have come as a shock however the gentle incline (bloody big hill) shouldn't have surprised me. Some fantastic support and plenty of water although an isotonic/energy drink would have been appreciated. Date of review: March 8, 2015
In short: A surprisingly good race, very good organisation, scenic (in places) and a fantastic atmosphere.In full: A thoroughly enjoyable race around the streets of Milton Keynes. Excellent race HQ at Stadium MK and being a local meant I could cycle and leave my bike in a secure area within the arena. The large number of toilets meant that there wasn't the usual long queues. The atmosphere was a very pleasant surprise, people seemed to be everywhere offering encouragement and the marshalls were fantastic. The goody bag actually had some worth while items in besides the usual leaflets.The only negative was at the start I would have liked to see predicted race times/finish times displayed so that I didn't have to try and guess where to stand and also it might have helped others who were walking 5 abreast after less than a mile. Date of review: May 5, 2014
In short: Poor weather didn't help with an inaugural eventIn full: Having read all of the reviews I'm a bit disapointed by some peoples reactions to the race. Yes the finish could have been signposted and space blankets should have been available at the finish. However to complain about the goody bag, that there was no-one to put the medal around their neck and the lack of shelter available is exceptionally mean considering the weather conditions.I will be back because this race has huge potential to become a classic. Well done to all the marshals and volunteers who gave up their day to stand in appalling conditions to cheer and applaud people as they ran.Fantastic drinks stations and energy gels provided. I would be interested to see what would happen if the London Marathon had to deal with such conditions as the last time I ran it I don't remember seeing huge shelters at the start or easy access to hot drinks and showers at the end.Well done the organisers for coping under such extreme conditions.Date of review: May 2, 2012
In short: Potential to be a great race but several issues with the organisationIn full: The city centre start, virtually traffic free and a flatish course are all positives however with there were several issues. Due to the adverse weather conditions this year it would have been more than usefull to have people handing out space blankets at the end. Virtually traffic free except for between mile 3 and mile 5 where several car users seemed more intent on getting to their destinations than the safety of runners. This wasn't helped by the lack of pavements. Due to a race of this size I was surprised that there were no energy drinks, a minor gripe I admit as is the quality of the medal.Date of review: March 5, 2012
In short: Yet another fantastic race at Colworth, fantastic organisation and a bargin make this a super raceDate of review: June 21, 2009
In short: Good organisation, nice scenary and big hills!! Nice race the only downside was the amount of slower runners starting near the front.Date of review: April 19, 2009
In short: Good organisation and atmosphere, the only down side was no baggage areaDate of review: April 13, 2009
In short: Excellent organisation, superb marshalls, fantastic hoodie only downside are the hills!Date of review: April 5, 2009
In short: Nice race with very good organisationDate of review: March 29, 2009
In short: Nice organisation, scenic and loads of supportIn full: Having read some of the previous ratings about this race I wonder if I did the same race as some people. I arrived at 9:45 and had no problems parking, queues for the toilets were small and the support around the route was very good.I'm baffled as to how people can go the wrong way, even if you couldn't follow the person in front there were very clear markings on the road as to which direction the race was going.Admitadly there didn't seem to be the lucazade drinks at any drinks stations and some of them didn't seem to have many people helping out.The marshalls on the course were plentiful and the signage in the OU was clear. There was a wait getting out of the car park but any race with thousands attending has similar issues, although it didn't help people driving their friends to their car because it was raining!I had no problems and will be back in the futureDate of review: March 8, 2009

Got home late, couldn't justify the $50 spot to watch Pac Man brutalize David Diaz.
From what I read, sounds like he really kicked his ass. Won all 9 rounds on the judges cards, bloodied him up pretty bad, then TKO's him in the 9th.
Pac Man says he felt great at 135, and he's not going back down. Talk potentially of him moving up to 140 to fight Hatton, which I would love to see. Hatton's got a mandatory with Malignaggi he's have to get out of though.
More likely is Edwin Valero in November for Pac Man though.

Good, bad, O'Reilly
To the Journal editor:
On Feb. 9, The Mining Journal once again played host to the measured, thoughtful commentary of Bill O'Reilly.
O'Reilly, for his part, demonstrated his talent for placing our complicated national issues in their proper perspective by enlisting the viewpoint of that most common of common men, the bayou-dweller, in this case, one Roland Torres from just outside New Orleans.
It did my heart good to contemplate the wit and wisdom of this man, a former game warden and government employee who does not understand why some people accept government assistance and who lives by the honest sweat of his brow and whatever riches he can dredge up from his surroundings.
(He) occasionally resorts to armed intimidation to drive away, "city thugs," displaced by hurricane activity (since these characters were also described as, "the good, the bad, and the ugly" I can't help but wonder if (actor) Lee Van Cleef was among them, in which case violence would certainly be merited).
When you stop to think about it, there really is no difference between the situation of millions of Americans benefitting from governmental assistance and that of Torres.
Indeed, it leads me to question why these people do not reject Obama's nefarious income redistribution schemes and flee to the wilderness, there to subsist on wild plants and game, as Torres apparently recommends (just not his wilderness, it seems, unless they want to get shot). As for myself, I'm choosing to heed the exceedingly relevant advice of Mr. O'Reilly and Mr. Torres.
If President Obama comes looking for me, hoping to sap my will to work with his poisonous Marxist agenda, tell him I'm down on the bayou with my good buddy Bill, eating sawgrass and killing birds with a penknife.
