Yellow Squash Casserole
(Recipe courtesy of Cheryl Alters-Jamison & Bill Jamison, American Home Cooking, Broadway Books)
Famed 18th-century naturalist John Bartram once pronounced a dish of boiled squash "poor entertainment." Some preparations still merit that[ memorable epitaph, but this souffle-like casserole of summer squash can take an Oscar on any stage. The common crookneck variety suggested in the recipe is one of our oldest domesticated squashes, probably native to New Jersey, according to William Woys Weaver in Heirloom Vegetable Gardening (1997).]
- 1 3/4 pounds crookneck yellow squash or other yellow summer squash
- 1/4 pound zucchini or additional yellow summer squash
- 1/2 cup coarse-chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, preferably yellow, chopped
- 1 plump garlic clove, minced
- 1 1/4 cups saltine or Ritz cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated mild to medium Cheddar cheese
- Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
- Salt and freshly milled black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium baking dish.
Slice the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the yellow squash, zucchini and carrots in a saucepan, barely cover with water and salt well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
Meanwhile, warm 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Wipe out the skillet, return it to medium-low heat, and add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook briefly until the crumbs are golden. Scrape them onto a small plate and reserve them.
Drain the squash mixture, mashing the vegetables just a bit. Spoon it into the mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs, cheese and a good splash or two of the pepper sauce. Salt and pepper generously to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted cracker crumbs over the top. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

Talk Up MACCA Radio in Forums, Blogs, Chatrooms, etc.
When you run across an appropriate place to mention MACCA Radio - such as music forums like those on the official McCartney Messageboard, Yahoo, CraigsList.org, SlashDot discussions that are about music or radio, websites for artists that are played on MACCA Radio, or other appropriate locations - don't be shy about letting people know about MACCA Radio. Be sure to include our web address in your post.
IMPORTANT: it isn't an accident that we used the word "appropriate" twice in the preceding paragraph. It's important not to spam forums, post on non-music-related sites or site areas, or otherwise annoy people in MACCA Radio's name. That'll only reflect poorly on us.
Post or Pass Out Flyers & Cards
We can't afford to mail out copies of flyers and promo cards, but we'd be happy to provide the artwork for you to print your own. We have artwork for 8.5" x 11" flyers and 3.5" x 2" cards (standard business card size). You can print out a few flyers to stick up at your local indy music store or coffee house, or you can have Kinko's print you up a couple of thousand and hit the cars in the parking lot at a local club venue, rave, or concert.
We do request that you always ask permission before posting flyers anywhere. We don't want you to get into trouble (or get us into trouble...).
We should have the files available for download here soon. In the meantime, if you're interested you can email email@example.com & we'll send them to you.
Put a MACCA Radio Plug in your Email Signature
Almost every email program lets you add a "signature" to the bottom of all of your outgoing emails. Some of our community members have added a brief mention of MACCA Radio along with our web address to their signature.

'Lugging It' was Matt Seattle's term for 'learning by ear'
This article was provoked by a discussion on the Bob Dunsire forum regarding the delicate question of teaching tunes in workshops, and whether this should be done by ear or from 'the dots'.
I am convinced of the value of being able to learn 'by ear', but for many this is a challenge. However, I feel that there are ways in which music can successfully be taught without 'dots'; the following is a sample 'lesson' which explores one of these ways. It is not meant to be an actual lesson, but aproposal for the kind of lesson that might help. It is here for you to comment on.
There are sound files which attempt to substitute for a tutor's playing, but since I had to record them myself, they are for guidance only [it may help to play them on a loop using windows media player settings].

Hi! My name is Shadow
I am an American Shorthair from El Dorado, KS
Nicknames: Cutie and sweet boy
Age: 8 years old
Gender: M
Coat: short haired
Education: His achievment, was that he survived his rough life and found refuge with I and my family:) and was lucky enough to stumble into my yard when I was feeding a stray cat. He now is a big sweety boy and loves to cuddle with all my family members.
My favorite tricks and treats are: No, he just comes when his name is called:) and Delie meat and any cat treats I buy for all of my household's cats.
Where I hang out: His fluffy purple pillow by my back door.
My favorite grubs: Nine Lives cat food and the accational cat treat, or day old delie meat(he loves it especially)
My pet peeves: Since Shadow's my outdoor cat, he has no playmates, except sometimes when my indoor cat Blossom, comes out to say hi.
What I love about my owners: She never turned me down, even though her mom had in the past tried to shoo me off on many accations, here mom has now come to love me, as well as her father and two younger brothers. She always feeds me 3 to 4 times a day and scares off any cats trying to attack me since i have no front claws. I'm lucky to have found her. And when she moves, I'll once again become an indoor cat(because she's taking me with her, along with her other cats Blossom, Rose, and Roxanne).
My cat hobbies: Lye lazily in the sun on our broken down hot tube. He also enjoys meowing A LOT. He also LOVES rolling in the dirt.
Pet motto: Never turn down a cat in need, especially a de-clawed and netured, defenceless tom:)
See all awards »
Shadow is a true survivor, who came to me mau-nurished, netured, and De-clawed. He was skin & bone; desprite enough to eat the bird food i had out for the nieghborhood birds. He was lucky enough to stumble into my yard when I was feeding a stray cat who I called Silver. He now is my big sweety boy(and quite fat hehe)and loves to cuddle with all my family members. He is also very spoiled:) Since there's 6 cats in my house(3 are mine, 2 are my little brother's and 1 is my second oldest brother's), Shadow's an outdoor cat, but being that there is a protected breezeway that he stays in(but can freely leave to go out at any time)including the cat condo, purple pillow and a cat little box with a soft warm blacket inside, he stays warm in the now 45 degree weather at night and in the day.

When trying to heat or cool a room, even air distribution is essential. If only one area of a room is hot while the others are too cold, no one will be comfortable. Luckily, fans have come a long way.
To start, old fashioned blades have been replaced with smooth, long range heat and coolant projection. These sleek machines have no visible moving parts, so they're easy to clean and completely safe for children and pets. What's more, they distribute heat far more evenly and quickly than traditional heaters.
Couple this technology with the ability to program specific heating levels for specific times, and you have a masterpiece of innovation. Many of these devices come with automatic shut off after a certain period of time, so you can rest easy without worrying if you remembered to hit all the off switches.
You can heat or cool an entire room with one of these devices, or opt for a table top sized heater and fan for local control. While fans may not have air conditioning, by helping the air circulate quickly through the room, each breath stays fresh and the gentle breeze keeps you cool. You can reduce your energy cost by simply and efficiently keeping the air in your home moving.

Posted on 04/19/2013 2:55:39 AM PDT by KaslinEdited on 04/19/2013 6:00:33 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Police in Watertown, Mass., reportedly were searching for a heavily armed suspect who may have been involved in the shooting death of an MIT police officer after reportedly taking another suspect into custody early Friday. Police and federal authorities were investigating if the suspects are possibly tied to the Boston Marathon bombing. WCBV-TV said the suspects threw and detonated explosives during a car chase with police.

No...they had to wait for Obama see them first and get his approval.
Funny. He doesn't appear to be African.
Great work Kaslin!!
They had to WAIT for OBAMA to have his CAMPAIGN RALLY at the Cathedral!!
Immigrants who came here to kill Americans, according to Fox.
Let's have the immigration debate now.
Cassius Clay isn't a Muzz name, either.
Immigrants who came here to kill Americans, according to Fox.
do you have a link to the Fox story?
so we defeated the gun control bills
maybe since they are immigrants we can defeat the immigration bill
I would have my gun ready if I lived in Watertown. Another good reason to be an armed citizen.
hmm, it was reported before that Sunil Tripathi was from Pennsylvania. And the dead perp (Mike) doesn't look like he's from Africa at all. We need more data before jumping to conclusions on this.
It is on Fox right now.
"They had to WAIT for OBAMA to have his CAMPAIGN RALLY at the Cathedral!!"
Actually, no. They needed to get their "focus group" together to determine the best approach. With the previous suspect, they sent him home, so as to not highlight the weakness of the no-visa system for Saudi visitors.
I don't watch TV lol. guess I'll have to find it on google
You are right. This is shaping up to be a really bad week for Zero.
22-year-old Sunil Tripathi, a 2008 Radnor High School graduate, was last seen on March 16 at his apartment near Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Looks like he was recruited here.
Yes, South Boston.
Didn't Napolitano tell us that there was "no broader plot" in this case. This stupid idiot has to go.
So, they were working suspect #2 as a Missing Persons case and had his photo on Tuesday standing next to the 8 year old victim? Either they knew and let the President come to town or they never crossed checked and missed it until Thursday.
Gee maybe we can get some border security now?
Maybe track visa holders?
Naw, what am I thinking of. Rubio and McCain ensure us its not a problem....
Muslomarxist diversity.
If Obama had a son. Or two.
Has Chris Tingle shaken a leg yet?
Good job Kaslin!
Both look Iranian.
Big Sis was busy last week equipping the DHS with bagpipes and other musical instruments so she probably missed the intel reports on this plot:
I'd go rabbit too, just not the blowing stuff up kinda rabbit.
It was the FBI, all the police departments up in MA, with the public that did their work, NOT Obama, just to correct you.
If you're born in Ethiopia, you're Ethiopian, whatever your melanin count is.
The one in the white cap, or the other one? The one in the white hat is suspect (terrorist) #2 he escaped. The other one is dead. He died in one of the hospital where many of the wounded were brought in.
Thanks Kaslin, this is awesome news
Immigrants killing Americans Americans won't kill.
I have been saying that for a long time. We should be more worried about those who come here to kill us.
Actually, the cable TV stations are dwiving me nutz. They know half of what has been posted here on FR for the last 5 plus hours. They claim they don't know the names of the perps, or anything about them (we do). Either they are playing dumb, are dumb (most likely), or have been asked not to name names (don't know why, as the perps names are all over the internet and have been for the last few hours or so. Geez, we at FR are 10 times more informed about the details of last nite/today than the cable programs, including Fox (which is always behind the times when it comes to breaking news anyway).
the other one, with the weird nose
Will it be called a hate crime? Or a hat crime?
I just got up and I am now trying to get up to speed. Got to make coffee. Be back.
terrorists trained overseas.
Keyword: Islam
Not any good photos of Mike Mulugeta, however, other than what has been released.
"The meaning of Mulugeta come may come from a profession, such as the name "Fisher" which was given to fishermen. Some of these trade-based surnames might be a profession in some other language. Because of this it is good to understand the country of origin of a name, and the languages spoken by its progenitors. Many western names like Mulugeta originate from religious texts like the Bible, the Bhagavadgītā, the Quran, and so on. "
Not all Africans are black.
FR is front and center on most breaking stories; that's the rule not the exception. Freepers are way ahead of lsm "journalists" who look increasingly stupid across the board.
I always come here first to get the latest.
6-2, 130 pounds? Is that possible?
The AP is saying one is from Russia/Chechnya.
Celebrate diversity!
According to that idiot everything is hunky dory
both trained overseas
they seem to have training as they are fighting and killing police
Keyword here is : Islam
Yes, my Immigration Bill in the Senate give amnesty to "those in the shadows" and all of their relatives....yes....yes. BUT, we just HAVE to hurry up and pass this! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

I recently led a delegation of young U.S. political leaders to participate in the 2012 Transatlantic Inclusion Leaders Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, April 22-24, 2012. This training conference provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen relations between emerging minority leaders in the United States and Europe. Initiated by the Special Representative to Muslim Communities and the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, the meeting was co-sponsored by Copenhagen Mayor for Employment and Integration Anna Mee Allerslev; the Danish Ethnic Youth Council; the German Marshall Fund; and the Transatlantic Minority Political Leadership Conference. This initiative was supported by U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Laurie S. Fulton, Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), and Hannes Swoboda, MEP.
Over 70 elected leaders and civil society activists under the age of 35, from across the United States and Europe, representing 26 different countries, attended this first ever transatlantic exchange of young minority political leaders. During two and a half days of intensive training and open dialogue at the Copenhagen City Hall, participants explored the challenges facing minorities in politics on both sides of the Atlantic as well as shared strategies to overcome these challenges.
I was honored to be in the presence of so many young elected leaders who share my passion for public service. Both the United States and Europe can benefit from this visionary new generation of young leaders who are dedicated to creating more open and representative institutions. As leader of the U.S. delegation, my role was to serve as a connector and catalyst to strengthen communication and ties among these young peers.
The young political leaders came together, in these uncertain times, amid the clamor of extremist voices during this era of economic hardship. And yet, they strove to strengthen the voices of moderation for inclusive governments. The conference participants did indeed learn a great deal from each other as they discussed differing views and actions on how to approach the work of integration and inclusion. On a personal level, delegates described the event as "inspirational, profound, life-changing, and a memory they will not soon forget."
President Obama and Secretary Clinton are strong advocates of inclusive governments. On many occasions, Secretary Clinton has stressed that it is "important that women and minorities have access to opportunity and participation. Nations cannot flourish if half their population is consigned to the margins or denied their rights."
In the United States, our diversity has made us stronger, more vibrant and more successful, and, in many ways, has defined who we are. And yet, as a nation, we still have a long way to go in order to achieve full political inclusion for minorities. Both the U.S. and European delegations frankly shared their experiences in the hopes of facilitating inclusive governments.
In that spirit, each leader left Copenhagen with the full confidence that we are building a vibrant self-sustaining transatlantic network of young minority elected leaders dedicated to building more inclusive governments. Drawing upon the expertise of the German Marshall Fund and IMPACT, and utilizing modern technologies, all of the participants are dedicated to nurturing an on-line space to exchange best practices, to provide peer-to-peer mentoring, and to encourage future generations to play an increasingly active role in politics. The young attendees plan to reconvene in smaller groups, to make working visits to the United States, and to expand the group by convening capacity building events for even wider circles of transatlantic inclusion leaders.
I personally left Copenhagen with a sense of optimism that these dedicated young minority elected leaders and activists will do all they can to promote racial, ethnic, and religious diversity and inclusion, including political participation, in the United States and Europe. Their diversity and awe inspiring talent gave me hope knowing that the future of our countries is in their hands. While the group brought a wide array of experiences to Copenhagen, they shared the common goal of creating more open and representative institutions.
I look forward to working with them and younger generations of minority elected leaders to build a better future.

Note: For information about printing in OS X Lion, please see this article instead.
Important: See this article for information about connecting a wireless-capable printer to your wireless network.
Here's a quick summary of what's new for printing in Snow Leopard (read below for more details):
- Apple's Software Update will automatically provide you with third-party printer software and updates.
- "Nearby Printers" is a list of available printers that will appear right inside your printer dialog box. Adding a nearby printer is just a selection away.
- You can simply connect a USB printer and the print queue will be automatically created.
- You can create a PDF document from any application and have an automated workflow process it.
Before you connect your printer
- Run Software Update to check for the latest third-party printer software and updates.
- Make sure the printer is powered on, has paper, and doesn't have any issues such as a paper jam or low ink.
- Adding, managing, or removing print queues may require an administrator account name and password--make sure you know one for your Mac.
- If you are upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5, see "Upgrading Print Queues..." in the additional information section below.
How to add a printer
To add a USB printer
Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers, so simply connect a USB printer and the print queue will be automatically created. If you do not see your printer in the "Printer:" pop-up menu after connecting it, go to the "To add a printer via the Print & Fax preference pane" section below.
To add "Nearby Printers"
With Mac OS X v10.6 you can quickly add a "Nearby Printer"--a nearby printer is a printer connected to the USB port on a Time Capsule or AirPort base station, a network capable printer that supports Bonjour, or a printer being shared by another Mac. Snow Leopard uses Bonjour technology to find nearby printers.
To add a Nearby Printer, all you have to do is select the Nearby printer you want from the "Printer:" pop-up menu:
Snow Leopard will automatically create the Print Queue.
Note: Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers. If an additional or updated printer software is available, Software Update will offer it to you. For more information about supported printers see this article. You can also visit the printer vendor's website for printer software, or contact them for technical support.
To add a printer via the Print & Fax preferences pane
Control-click the System Preferences icon in your Dock and choose "Print & Fax" from the Dock menu. If the Print & Fax lock icon appears locked, click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password when prompted. Click the + (plus) icon below the Printers pane on the left to open the Add Printer application.
From the Add Printer toolbar you have these default tools:
- Default - Used to get a list of all printers that your Mac can see via USB, Bonjour, and so forth. Tip: If you have a long list of printers, use the search field to find the printer you are looking for. Just click the printer in the list that you would like to add and Snow Leopard will add the printer driver for you.
Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers. If an additional or updated printer software is available, Software Update will offer it to you. If you do not see your printer listed in the "Print Using:" pop-up menu or a Generic printer driver is selected, then the printing software may not be available from Apple. For more information about supported printers see this article. You can also visit the printer vendor's website for printer software, or contact them for technical support.
Once the driver is set, click the "Add" button to create your Print Queue.
- Fax - Used to add a queue for the Fax device connected to your Mac.
- IP - Used to add your printer network printers that don't use Bonjour or are on a different network subnet from your computer. Printers that support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), Line Printer Daemon (LPD), and HP Jetdirect (Socket) can be added in this manner. See your printer's manual or support documentation for information about how to setup the printer to use an IP-based printing protocol.
- Windows- Used to add your printer being shared via the Windows printer sharing protocol (CIFS). Tip: See Mac 101: File Sharing for details about how to add your Mac to a Windows Workgroup. This is often needed to see Windows printer shares.

AppleTalk-based printers
AppleTalk is a protocol that is not supported in Mac OS X v10.6. Many network printers have support for IP-based printing protocols that can be used instead of AppleTalk. Please see the "To add a printer via the Print & Fax preferences pane" section for information about how to add a printer using IP. Or, visit your printer vendor's website or contact your printer vendor for technical support.
If your printer can only use the AppleTalk protocol, the printer can be used if it is connected to, and shared by, an appropriate AppleTalk-capable printer server. Snow Leopard can then use that print share to print via a supported IP-based protocol. See the "How to add a printer" section above for details about how to connect to a shared printer to your Snow Leopard-based Mac.
Upgrading print queues from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard
When you update from Mac OS X v10.5 to Mac OS X v10.6, Mac OS X v10.6 will replace all printer software and recreate print queues for any printer from these printer vendors:
HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Samsung, Xerox, FujiXerox, Ricoh (includes Gestetner, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, Savin)
If you have a printer that is not from one of these vendors, Mac OS X v10.6 will migrate your printer queue from Mac OS X v10.5 when you upgrade.
If the print queue that you migrated from Mac OS X v10.5 has an issue, try these steps
- Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
- Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
- Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
- Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
If you still have an issue, try these extra steps:
- Reset the printing system (see above). Then, add the printer again.
- If the issue persists, reset the printing system (see above). Download and install printer drivers. Then, add the printer again.

One of modern Christianity's most shocking proposals is that one can cling to Christ with one hand and sin with the other. In short, repentance is no longer considered necessary. Along with sin, hell, fire, and brimstone, repentance has been banished to the heap of dry doctrines—seldom taught and therefore misunderstood. Yet according to Scripture, repentance is vital not only for salvation, but also for maturing in Christ and becoming the effective believer He wants you to be. In The Test of True Repentance, John MacArthur clarifies the importance of repentance in salvation and daily life. This study, based on the message of John the Baptist—one of Scripture's most intriguing characters—offers you foundational instruction if you're a new Christian and important reminders if you're a veteran believer.

A '72 Cheyenne with Rattlesnake Paint and a Wild Rat Motor
There has never been a shortage of trucks in Texas. But most of them get used like trucks, so finding usable old iron to restore or customize can be a challenge. Probably very few people who bought a new C10 in 1972 were thinking about winning Best of Show trophies 40 years down the line. Today, this generation of Chevy pickups is one of the most popular in the hobby—and not for hauling hay bales or lugging cargo around. That's not to say that Chevy didn't have style in mind in 1971 when it introduced the Cheyenne to the C10 line. Truck buyers who chose this trim option were probably looking for a little bit more than a work truck. Forty years later, the Cheyenne just might be as much of a classic to truck guys as the Camaro is to muscle car fans.
Some people, like Richard Tierney, like them all. His collection of classics has included a '34 Ford, a '23 T-bucket, a resto '67 Corvette, '55 Chevy pickups, and now this striking green '72 Cheyenne. The motivation for building the '72 is a familiar story—Richard drove one in high school. The years went by, the other cars and trucks got built, and Richard started thinking, "wouldn't it be fun?"
After the initial steps of making a plan, finding a suitable truck (this one turned up in Abilene), and collecting the parts, Richard was ready to begin building, working with Jim Rowe at JBZ Race Cars & Customs in Tomball, Texas. The project was part restoration, part hot rod, using a combination of N.O.S. parts (many still available from GM) and high-performance aftermarket components—"the good stuff" as Richard put it.
The factory frame was powdercoated and fortified with tubular rear arms. The front clip from a '90 Suburban was added and modified with Classic Performance Products spindles. CPP also provided the sway bars, and front and rear disc brakes. To get the ride height down where he wanted it, Richard had the rear coils lowered by 5 inches, with 3 inches coming out of the front. The steering column was also shortened 3 inches. Bilstein shocks mounted in all corners improve the ride even further.
It would be nearly impossible to have too much chassis considering the powerplant in this truck. Lifting the Goodmark cowl hood on its billet hinges reveals the highly dressed-up fuel-injected big-block, built by Scott Shafiroff Racing. You don't have to race a dragster to run a Shafiroff engine; they have a line of pretty serious street engines, including this 650-horsepower 540ci version, running an EZ-EFI system from FAST. The 540 features Dart Pro 1 heads, 10.5:1 forged pistons, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam, plus an Edelbrock Air Gap manifold and MSD ignition. Richard added Hooker headers, which just clear the framerails, with a pair of Dynomax SS mufflers to keep the decibels down. The chrome custom air cleaner, valve covers, CPP master cylinder and booster, and a polished serpentine belt system from Billet Specialties add some eye appeal. A high-performance Turbo 400 transmission and converter was built by Phoenix Transmission products in Weatherford, Texas, and is equipped with a B&M trans cooler. A polished aluminum driveshaft runs back to the 12-bolt rearend with a Posi and 3.73:1 gears.
Jason and Wayne Winn at Winn's Automotive in Magnolia, Texas, pitched in with the bodywork and the addition of a new Fleetside bed. The trim and two-tone paint that is part of the Cheyenne package was retained with some custom elements, such as the clean custom grille and the cowl-induction hood. The front bumper was smoothed and the parking lights that existed there were hidden behind the grille. The rear bumper was notched for the dual exhaust pipes. Jason Winn handled the painting. Richard said he doesn't usually go for green, but when he saw this bright green pearl, he loved it. It's a Viper green—he calls it Rattlesnake Pearl Green—and its reminiscent of Sublime Green, used on Mopars in the muscle car days. The pearl white is a Lexus color. Jason used a little of the Rattlesnake shade on the spokes of the 20-inch Bonspeed Sweep wheels. A pair of 315/35ZR20 Nitto performance radials pack the rear wheel tubs, with 245/45ZR20 Nittos rolling in the front. Meat like that isn't cheap, but Richard will light 'em up whenever he feels like doing a smoky burnout.
The Cheyenne interior shows off Chevy's effort at upgraded truck styling, and Richard and the guys at JBZ didn't alter things much. The stock bucket seats and console option were revived and covered with white pearl leather and factory houndstooth fabric, and the stock instruments, including the tach, were restored. The Custom Autosound stereo system is camouflaged behind the original controls. Even the factory air conditioning (with an updated compressor) was kept to maintain the original look.
Richard says he built the Cheyenne for the purpose of driving it. True to his word, he drives it as much as possible, taking to the street about once a week. Once in a while, the street leads to a show—and a trophy. The Rattlesnake Green Cheyenne took a Best of Class award at the Corvette/Chevy Expo in Houston and was Best of Show at the 2011 Houston Autorama. Meanwhile, the wrenches are still turning, this time on a '37 Ford he bought "to mess with."

A calico cat surprised rescuers over the weekend when she appeared on the shore of Governors Island in New York. The feline was covered in seaweed, and it's believed that she swam across the New York Harbor, according to the New York Daily News.
Guards on the remote island discovered the cat on Sunday, April 17. Despite the fact that she was matted with salt water, the feline seemed in good spirits and was allegedly quite friendly. It is believed that she was swept out into the harbor following a large storm. The cat's age is unknown, and it is unclear whether or not she had an owner before her discovery.
For now, the cat has been taken in by workers on the island. They feed her cans of tuna and cat food, and allow her to live a quiet lifestyle on the docks of the island, which is not yet open to the public.
In situations like these, it may be necessary for cats to be taken to a veterinary health expert for an exam. Pet emergencies should not be taken lightly, as animals can suffer from unseen injuries that can only be diagnosed by a vet.

The Wine & The Food
We asked Jenny Benzie, the head sommelier and CEO of Pour Sip Savor in Palm Beach, for her favorite wine and food pairings to enjoy during the fall season.
Benzie notes that in autumn, "there is a switch in white wine from the crisp, dry style to something that has more weight on the palate and complexity, but without the heavy hand of oak." Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2009 embodies this philosophy and pairs well with fall dishes like curried sweet potato-apple soup or pork schnitzel and baked apples with fennel.
"For easy drinking, I like a blend from the Southern Rhône in France that will have moderate complexity with some pepper and spice," Benzie says. She suggests pairing J.L. Chave Côtes-du-Rhône Mon Coeur 2011 with a Rustico pizza topped with arugula, Stracchino cheese, pancetta and garlic.
"For a special occasion, I want a dry red wine that has rich tannins but is not overextracted with tons of fruit and alcohol." Pair Nino Negri's 5 Stelle Sfursat di Valtellina 2009 with a Tuscan-style veal chop grilled with olive oil.
Benzie describes Psi Ribera del Duero 2010 as "rich and intense on the nose and velvety on the palate; the finish lingers on and on." She likes to pair this Spanish wine with braised lamb with roasted squash and onion sauce.
This intimate wine cellar, crafted by Marc-Michaels Interior Design, would be ideal for a small group of connoisseurs looking to savor many bottles.

Goodbye Dating: I Don't Want You, I Want Me, Myself & I
I could sit here and write some overly-dramatic rant that nobody really cares about, yet I'd prefer to keep things short (yeah right, who am I kidding,) sweet, and oh so to the point. Trust me, there is a point here…one that is very RAW.
It's 2014 and more than ever this year, I'm on my Wonder Woman mode. This 6ft Amazonian is putting things in gear to live the life she wants.
This year, I'm truly keeping calm and loving me, myself, and I. With graduate school (MA in Design) on my horizon, a new body (workout routine 5-7 days a week is paying off,) and a raw new look on relationships, I'm just totally in the mode of doing me. If it's not about myself, my career, my dreams, my looks, or my satisfaction, then I don't want to waste precious breath on it.
You see, in 2013 I tried really hard to put others before, specifically men that I thought I was into, but then after careful consideration realized they just weren't for me. Whether they lacked an ambitious career drive or lacking in the physical department (looks, fitness, etc,) I just decided that in 2014 I won't settle for lames.

Glaciers, it turns out, arent so different from people – they can gain weight in their bottoms and be less active, scientists have discovered.
Glaciers, the heavyweights of landscape erosion, grow not just from snow accumulating on their surfaces but also from beneath by freezing of meltwater which can affect the rate at which they can erode, according to a team of scientists, including one from Michigan State University.
Their discovery, reported in a cover story in the Aug. 14 issue of the international science journal Nature, paints a new picture of how glaciers sculpture and erode the earths landscapes.

Comments about Educational Insights Nancy Bs Science Club® AquaScope™ and Underwater Wonders Activity Journal:
I received this to review all opinions are my own. Rowan loves exploring the world around him. When we first started homeschooling it became clear he is a math and science nut. He loves hands on activities when it comes to learning. Now we don't live near the coat but still have water ways that give ton of ways to learn outside in our area.Even with it being cold out it is still great to get them into their world around them. Even if it water. With the aquascope you can do just that. It comes with a journal for your child to write down everything from the temp. to what they saw.Science journaling was something we started right away. I had him drawing what he saw before he was able to write. Now he is writing and the journal that comes with the aquascope has a great pre printed outline. It made it much easier to come up with his scientific observations about what he saw living under the water. It has room for them to write. Great way to go back later on to have them talk about and research through books or online. Aquascope is safe way for your child to explore any waterway without getting wet. Great for year around. It is also a great gift for those sea going kids. Think of all the wonders under the water to see.Rowan loves the aquascope. It is easy to use light. Don't worry if the water is dark it comes with an led light to light up the water to see better. We were completely empressed with it. It is one tough toy too.I recommend this for all family rather you are homeschooling or not.Here is more on it:The Big Idea Head to the shore and explore!

Exciting To My Won

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Working Parent
We recently took it to Florida with us when we went on vacation and we used it in the pool at the house and the pool at the beach house and had so much fun. I can't wait to take it to a pond where we can actually test out the light feature on it. We didn't follow the directions about making sure it stays at a certain level. It's not completely water proof and it filled up with water. Miles was upset and said that it was broken. I checked it out and couldn't see anything through it and then did everything I could do to get the water out of it. If you sort of plunge it open and shut the water will come out and then you can use it again. From that point on we have made sure that it doesn't take a swim on it's own in the water. It's a great educational tool when you take it to a lake ocean or pond because there you'll actually be able to see the ground and it's inhabitants, which is where the journal will come in handy.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, there was nothing especially new in the flood situation in Jamestown. The water in the river above and below the Warner Dam was still very high and was receding very slowly. Manufactures still suffered from the flood which prevented them from running their factories. All over town, the talk was about how much of the river was obstructed by buildings and embankments and what would the state do in regard to the matter. Old residents said the stream below the Warner Dam had been narrowed in many places. It did not appear that the narrowing had made the situation very much worse, for there were many old residents who in years gone by had skated over territory that was now high and dry.
The Virginia Hair Shop was installed in its new quarters at 310 Pine Street, ground floor. In case there be anyone not informed as to who or what the Virginia Hair Shop was, let it be said that Mrs. Ellen Taylor and Miss Nettie A. Romano, of the WCA Hospital, were "who" and they conducted an up-to-date business in hair dressing, manicuring and facial massage. The general work room was partitioned off by sanitary curtains into small individual booths. The watchword of the room as well as that of the entire establishment, was sanitation and cleanliness.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, formal opening and dedication of Snow Mountain, the Jamestown Recreational Council winter sports development on Buffalo Street Extension, scheduled for Sunday, was called off as city firemen, members of the Morton Club, proceeded with plans to hold a skating carnival on the Roseland Park rink, Fluvanna Avenue, on this afternoon and evening despite unfavorable weather conditions. The dedications of Snow Mountain had been postponed because of the unseasonable weather, making it difficult and dangerous to conduct the proposed schedule of skiing and sliding events. The sports site would be open over the weekend for persons who wished to avail themselves of its facilities.
William E. Nicol forswore the joys of Lake Erie ice fishing this day, as he recovered from his second narrow escape in seven years from death on drifting floes. Nicol, 37-year-old Buffalo resident, was taken off a half-mile-long island of ice the previous day after coast guardsmen had groped through fog for more than seven hours in search of him. In 1931 he was one of about 20 men trapped off the American shore who drifted more than two hours before planes and scouting parties located him. "I might not be so lucky the third time," Nicol commented.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, Emory C. Olson received the coveted "Young Man of the Year" award at the annual Bosses' Night dinner sponsored by the Jamestown Junior Chamber of Commerce. A partner in Alfred Baldwin, Inc., jewelry store, the 36-year-old Olson paid tribute to the City of Jamestown which he said, "will be only as good as we, our citizens, make it." In his acceptance speech before more than 200 Jaycees, business and industrial leaders, Olson said, "Jamestown has been good to me – I learned my trade here – and if I have played a small part in improving the city I am only repaying a debt in a small way."
Chautauqua County residents hoped to climb out of the ice box this day after bone-chilling weather overnight which saw the mercury sink below the zero mark once again. Coldest spots reported in the county were at Sinclairville and Panama, whose residents shivered at 10 below zero. The Weather Bureau said that hopefully this day should see the mercury rise to about 15 – and that was warm, compared to the sub zero readings which descended on the area four days ago.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, the head of New York's Board of Regents said Gov. Mario Cuomo's plan to guarantee poor seventh graders enough money for college in the form of "Liberty Scholarships" was a good idea. Regents Chancellor Martin Barell said Cuomo's scholarship idea would fit nicely with a program the Regents and the state Education Department were pushing for – all day community schools. Meanwhile, a Republican state senator denounced the measure as "an insult to the sacrifices" of the middle class.
Extended warm weather earlier in the week resulted in a meltdown of the ice castle under construction in Mayville as part of the "Ice Castle Extravaganza" set for Feb. 12-21. A backhoe dismantled the structure which a spokeswoman for Chautauqua County Vacationland said had reached a height of 10-12 feet before nature began to shrink it. Plans called for rebuilding the castle, weather permitting.

Teen Review: Pagan's Crusade by Catherine Jinks
Pagan's Crusade by Catherine Jinks: In twelth-century Jerusalem, orphaned sixteen-year-old Pagan is assigned to work for Lord Roland, a Templar knight, as Saladin's armies close in on the Holy City.
"This book is great for people who like historical fiction, but don't want to read about the 20th century all the time. My brother recommended and I can see why. A great adventure book for boys."

Ask questions here
Paul Zak, professor of economics at Claremont Graduate University and director of the university's Center for Neuroeconomic Studies, will take to Reddit on Tuesday, Oct. 22 to answer questions about his research.
Zak will host his Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) beginning at 10 a.m. PDT.
Zak is credited with the first published use of the term "neuroeconomics" and has been a vanguard in this new discipline. His lab discovered in 2004 that an ancient chemical in our brains, oxytocin, allows us to determine whom to trust. His current research is showing that oxytocin is responsible for virtuous behaviors, working as the brain's "moral molecule." This knowledge is being used to understand the basis for modern civilizations and modern economies, improve negotiations, and treat patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Video of Zak's 2011 TED talk has been viewed more than 1.1 million times. Zak has also appeared on: Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Fox & Friends, ABC Evening News, NOVA Science Now, NPR, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, The Economist, Scientific American, Fast Company, Forbes, and many others. His popular blog, The Moral Molecule, is featured on the Psychology Today website with a dedicated, active following.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (85 votes).
In short: Loved itDate of review: December 10, 2006
In short: pleasant race, scenic and friendly. Pity about the bullying official at the finish lineIn full: I did this race with my mum, who was racing for the first time at the age of 62 and was very nervous. It's a pretty fast course, well marshalled and with a mix of very fast runners and beginners. What spoiled it for us was the bulling attitude of one of the finish line officials. After having finished, I took off my number and ran back to find my mum. I was then berated for running through the finish line a second time. I now realise that this wasn't appropriate, but I simply didn't know that at the time. The level of aggression displayed by the official was completely unnecessary. Not a good impression to give someone taking their first steps in the running world.Date of review: December 10, 2006
In short: The main attraction of this race was the good and very friendly organisation. The downside was the poor state of the men's toilet facilities. The marshalls were plentiful and encouraging. The course was very flat, 50/50 mixture of parkland/'burbs.Date of review: September 9, 2005
In short: Very fast and flat course, well marshalled, PB potential.In full: + Well marshalled+ Fast course+ not much traffic+ Results quickly available+ Useful goody bag (water, banana and chocolate)+ secure baggage area+ friendly and low key event+ lot of prices- toilets (only one and no seat!)- showers (ony 2 of 4 worked)Date of review: September 5, 2004

About the Author: Ruth Bennett serves as the Public Affairs Advisor for the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues (S/GWI).
How do you spread a message about ending violence and discrimination against women in a society in which approximately half the people can't read or write? If you're Digital Democracy, you do it by supplying women with cameras -- and, more importantly, by supplying them with training and education about the power of images.
As Digital Democracy co-director Emily Jacobi explained at the May 10 #HaitiTech Meet Up at the State Department, building on Haiti's rich oral storytelling traditions makes sense on a number of levels: not only do the women produce compelling documentation of the problems they face as they struggle to rebuild their lives -- documentation that can help the international donor community better understand how to direct their efforts -- but the simple act of achieving mastery in a new skill can bolster the women's self-confidence and help them find their voice in other areas.
Women in Haiti are bearing a double burden from the January earthquake: not only did they lose their homes and their loved ones, but they also face sexual violence in temporary shelter camps and men's demands to exchange sex for food and other necessities for themselves and their families. Disruptions in policing and governance leave them particularly vulnerable among a traumatized population.
Building Haiti "back better" means including Haitian women as full and equal contributors at every point in the process. Some much-needed programs operate on a large-scale level -- for example, Coca-Cola launched the Haiti Hope line of mango juice in March, after the Office of Global Women's Issues connected them with Danielle Sant Lot, a former minister of commerce in Haiti. The initiative will give employment to 50,000 farmers -- many of them women -- over the next five years. Other programs, such as those of Digital Democracy, focus on strengthening the individual, and giving them back a sense of control and the ability to be heard. With the help of both types of initiatives, operating in tandem, Haitian women have a greater opportunity to participate in the decisions that affect their country's future.

On November 1, 2008 the Charles W. Morgan was hauled out for extensive restoration. It was predicted to take between 3 to 5 years to complete.
The Charles W. Morgan is the last surviving wooden whaling ship from the great days of sail. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, MA, the Morgan had a successful 80-year whaling career. She made 37 voyages before retiring in 1921.
When finished the plan is to take the Morgan on her 38th voyage and sail her back to New Bedford.
I joined Mystic Seaport's volunteer crew in late July of 2009 and was asked if I would like to work on the Morgan. My job is to scrape paint. Certainly not a glamorous job, but it needs to be done.
During the last six months while I have been scraping paint, I have been taking pictures, and sending them in e-mails to friends who are on my "Victim List." I sent them to a couple of Mystic staff members and now I have a new job. I will continue to scrape paint and in my new job I will try to show what is going on behind the scenes where visitors can not go.
These pictures are from the day the Morgan was hauled out in Mystic's Henry B. DuPont Preservation Shipyard.
So to start off with, here is the paint scraping we have been doing. We started with heat but quickly found that all the paint contains lead. Now we use Peel Away which is much safer for everyone.
As time goes on, I will post updates showing the restoration's progress. For now I am keeping this simple because I am not exactly sure how all this works yet. If no pictures show up when I post this I will need to do a bit more homework.
More to come.

Motorola bungles Xoom software update?
Motorola seems to have made a mess of Google's latest Android software update on its Xoom tablet, after it released, then halted the Android 3.1 software update citing a 'system error'.
Motorola seems to have made a mess of Google's latest Android software update on its Xoom tablet, after it released, then halted the Android 3.1 software update citing a 'system error'.
Tablets are clearly one of the hottest tech categories in 2011, and the emerging slate market shows no sign of slowing down. Two of the most popular iPad 2 alternatives are the Motorola Xoom, and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Two of the latest Android "Honeycomb" tablets to hit the Australian market are the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and the unimaginatively named Toshiba Tablet (otherwise known as the AT100 in Australia, and the Toshiba Thrive in other markets).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Or does Shapiro make another move to solidify the lineup?
If the roster is untouched, this is my guess at the Tribe's everyday lineup:
Sizemore CF
Michaels LF
Peralta SS
Hafner DH
Martinez C
Belliard 2B
Broussard 1B
Blake RF
Boone 3B
Obviously, the weak spots are RF, 1B, and 3B. At 1B, Ben will get the majority of the starts, supposedly being platooned with Perez. Garko will start out in AAA, and then make the move to the bigs, hopefully taking over the platoon by the end of 06. I could see Ben being moved at some point during the season if Garko impresses. Boone is at 3B, until he gorks and/or Marte is ready to take over. Those positions won't be traded for, as we have young players in system who should take over at some point this season.
That is why if Shapiro makes another move prior to opening day, it will be for a starting RF. I have a feeling that the Tribe brass really wants an upgrade there, to start the season. Remember, they tried to sign Brian Giles earlier this offseason.
Some players that have been bantered about:
Craig Wilson PIT
Austin Kerns CIN
Kevin Mench TEX
Wishful thinking from a dillusional fan:
Manny Ramirez BOS
- By not showing up to ST, he obviously has written his ticket out of Beantown. Theo and Mark are probably on the phone now, hammering out details for a trade.


text: There is an interesting site called..."Rate Your Music". It has pretty large traffic, and "Electric Arguments" has finished at #86 in it's top albums of 2008. Only "Band On The Run" (#23 in '73), & "Ram" (#31 in '71) have finished higher for a McCartney project. Nice to see it getting the recognition it so richly deserves. Blessings!
