Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter (8) 8-ounce ramekins.
Cook sausage in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and set aside. Discard any fat from the skillet in excess of 2 tablespoons.

Hi everyone! I've been studying tea and the Gongfu method of preparing tea for almost a year now. I've seen SO many different ways that people brew their tea in this style, it's pretty fascinating, and in time it has led me to experiment with many different methods and make up my own brewing guide that is suited to my tastes.
I will say though one thing I've run across is that certain teas seem to be more frequently brewed for very short infusions with lots of leaf, while others seem to be recommended to be brewed with less leaf and longer.
For example, I usually see recommendations for brewing white and green teas in this method to be around 2g of leaf per 100ml of water for 45-60 seconds for an initial infusion. Meanwhile I usually see suggestions for oolong, red/black, and puer teas use much more leaf for shorter infusions... Something like 3.5 to 5g of tea per 100ml water and infused for flash infusions or 10-15 second initial infusions.
My main question is... is there a reason I have very rarely seen suggestions for white and green teas to be brewed in the shorter infusion style? Do these teas work well with that method?
I know I will probably just have to experiment with this a bit, but I do have limited amounts of tea and financial constraints, so I can't do as much experimenting as I'd like. Any advice?
I have noticed that part of what seems to influence style comes down to personal tastes and how many infusions you want to enjoy of one tea. For some people it is more practical to use less leaf and longer infusions because they only want to drink 2-3 infusions and stop there, while using more leaf to get more infusions out of it would be wasteful if you don't want to drink that many.
But I do wonder if some teas just generally take better to being steeped for longer periods of time, while others work better with very short infusions. Any insights?

Sutton has also asked for and been granted the rest of the season off on medical leave. I would have to say we have seen the last of him on the sidelines. He is being replaced by his son, who had already been in line to follow his father as Cowboy head coach.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: Flat popular Televised 10 milerIn full: Felt better doing it this year crowds great. PB for all. Saw Dan Robinson when I was at 7 (he was 91/2). Only problem is the WIND on the seafront JeesDate of review: March 5, 2008
In short: A great run, despite the weatherIn full: This was the longest I have ever run, the weather was so bad, I had a little cry once I got to the seafront after 8 miles, but only because of the weather! Once I finished, I was very chuffed. It was a great day and I smile when I think about it. Bring on the next one.Date of review: January 9, 2008
In short: The weather only made it more satisfying!! Date of review: December 30, 2007
In short: Great Occasion, shame about the weatherIn full: Loved every minute of it, interesting route on the flat makes for good times, although this year, running the last two miles into the strong wind and rain certainly tested the majority of runners. Looking forward already to next year.Date of review: November 25, 2007
In short: Great race, excellent organisation - shame about the weather!In full: Having started running earlier this year, needed to set some goals. This was my second event - ever! My first event was a Cancer Research UK 10k in September. Travelled up on the morning of the race, and expected some traffic problems, but although slow moving, made our way easily onto the common. Organisation throughout seemed to run like clockwork, with friendly stewards/marshals.Unfortuanetly I was in the green wave (not really knowing my likely time when I entered), but as soon as we set off, soon found myself passing many from the other waves!Managed to get around in a time I was really happy with, and beating my 10k PB.OK, the weather could have been better, but that makes me all the more determined to do even better next year! (with better weather!). I considered the £3 parking fee was well worth it - try parking all day for that in many places in Cornwall! Nice goody bag & medal - really had no expectations though as to what to find in it.Yes, I'll be running this race again next year & it's certainly inspired me to take up running "properly", with entries already being made for some other races next year.Date of review: November 10, 2007
In short: The rain and wind made the last couple of miles a tad uncomfortable but the organisation and atmosphere were great.Date of review: November 10, 2007
In short: Great raceDate of review: November 8, 2007
In short: Think LondonMarathon - without the pain of the last 16 miles!Date of review: November 8, 2007
In short: Fantastic. Really exhilarating.In full: This was my second race. I did the Victory five also in Portsmouth last year. I ahd only run 8 miles once a few weeks before the race so was quite nervous but I loved every minute of it. The atmosphere was brilliant, crowd support was fantastic and great to have thumping music towards the finish. Personally I loved running through the naval base and along the sea wall wiht the waves crashing over it. I would definitely do it again and have signed up for a half marathon next year i enjoyed it so much. My only grip is getting stuck behind walkers and slow runners in the beginning.Date of review: November 7, 2007
In short: Great race which makes you want to push yourself!In full: This was my 1st 10 miler & only my 2nd official race & I loved it. Had only previously run 9 miles max whilst training taking bout 80 mins, but completed this race in 78. The flat course & crowds really drive you on, only negative is having to pass people that started in the 1st wave, I will start in the 1st wave next yr to avoid this. RE the negative comments about the traffic,I arrived at 8,30 & parked in the center of pompey & didnt even try to get close to the car park near the start, prob had to wait about 20 mins at the end to leave & had to walk to teh car for 10 mins (great warm down) but that was it! So its not all that bad.Date of review: November 5, 2007

Police identify man found dead near burned vehicle
MARQUETTE – Police have released the identity of a Marquette County man found Wednesday morning next to a burned vehicle.
Samuel Louis Longtine, 56, was located by troopers from the Michigan State Police Negaunee Post at about 9:20 a.m. His body, which had received minor burns, was by a burned pickup truck near JH Lane, a private road. The body and vehicle were found on the back side Longtine's property – located along U.S. 41 in West Branch Township – and within a mile of his residence.
Police said this morning that Longtine had been reported missing, and was last seen at about 3 p.m. Tuesday. Police said when troopers located his body, the fire had already run its course and the truck was not smoldering. The death was under investigation as suspicious, but an autopsy conducted today revealed no signs of foul play. In a press release this afternoon, police said Longtine was likely plowing snow on his property when the vehicle caught fire. A determination of a specific cause of death pends toxicology results.
Troopers at the Negaunee Post were asssited by MSP detectives, as well as the MSP's 8th District fire investigator and Marquette General Hospital EMS.

LONDON ―Last month, 15-year-old Paralympic swimmer Ian Silverman (Baltimore, Md.), one of the sports up and coming young stars, lost everything when his best friend Alec Cosgerea unexpectedly passed away in a car accident.
In a single instant he lost his best friend, his classmate, his swim partner, his whole world.
"I knew him since I was very young…he meant everything to me," said Silverman. "It was a tragic, sudden loss. It just really shook my world."
To make things more complicated, in a few short weeks Silverman would be competing in the biggest meet of his life at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Luckily for Silverman, who has Cerebral Palsy, he was surrounded by a strong support structure made up of his friends, family and coaches, all of whom wanted to see him remain focused and carry out his dream of swimming in a Paralympic final.
Silverman, who trains at the North Baltimore Swim Club, the same club as Michael Phelps, did just that, focusing on his training despite the emotional pain he was feeling during this incredibly difficult time in his life.
That concentration continued once he touched down in London. It came full circle this morning during his preliminary race of the men's 400 meter freestyle (S10), where he posted a solid time of 4:13.48, which was good enough to land him a spot in tonight's race.
Once he knew that he was going to be able to live out his dream of competing in a Paralympic final, Sullivan knew he wanted more and immediately turned his focus to winning a medal.
The task would not be easy however, as Sullivan was not only dealing with the pressure of competing in a final, but controlling his emotions as well.
As he stepped onto the blocks tonight he did so with a heavy heart as he was still thinking about Alec, whom he decided to dedicate the race to.
Once in the water, Silverman knew he had a battle on his hands as his race was one of the most hotly contested of these Games.
He started the race well and eventually took the lead near the 200 meter mark. This did not last long, however, as he was overtaken just after the 250 meter mark by Benoit Huot of Canada who had been nipping at his heels the entire race.
Silverman eventually clawed back to take the lead after the turn at the 300 meter mark and never looked back.
Little did anyone know it was a part of his race plan all along.
"I knew I had a shot," noted Silverman. "My game plan was to take off with 150 (meters) left and I feel like I executed that well."
Silverman touched the wall not long after that burst, finishing with a time of 4:04.91, a staggering nine seconds better than his qualifying time of 4:13.48, and good enough for a new Paralympic record.
Once his competitors finished and the reality of winning a gold medal had set in a wave of emotion came over Silverman. After yelling and splashing the water around him he was quickly reduced to tears. Those emotions continued on the medal stand as Silverman choked back tears again while singing the National Anthem.
When asked about the race and the medal ceremony, Silverman finally admitted to wanting to perform well for Alec.
"I knew he was watching over me," said Silverman. "I just hope I made him proud."
It's now safe to say he did.

AW189 Prototype Heads to Alaska After Texas Demo as Part of U.S. Stops During Global Flight Test Campaign
|AgustaWestland conducted a flight demonstration of the U.S.-based AW189 prototype (P2) on December 6 in Arlington, Texas before heading to Alaska for cold weather trials through spring 2013, at which point it will fly back to Italy to rejoin the other four testbed helicopters in the fleet (P1 and P3-P5). Photos by Randy Jones
AgustaWestland is in the midst U.S. flight tests of the AW189 that will continue through spring 2013. The testbed—one of five AW189 prototypes—made stops in Arizona and Texas before flying to Alaska for cold weather trials as part of a nine-month effort. The manufacturer provided an aerial demonstration of the AW189 on December 6 at its facility at Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY), as well as an update on the AW609, formerly the BA609 before AgustaWestland purchased Bell Helicopter's share in the tiltrotor design in November 2011.
|AW189 fly-by.
According to AgustaWestland, one of the five AW189 prototypes began the U.S. trials in July 2012, conducting performance checks, hot and high testing, and cold weather operations. Other tests include handling qualities, hover performance and Cat A/B takeoff and landing. The manufacturer has carried out more than 160 flight hours in the U.S. through December 2012. The five prototypes have amassed a total of more than 800 flight hours, with certification expected in second quarter 2013.
|Center panel on the AW189 P2 prototype.
"The reason I say there's a common aspect among the three is the way the aircraft is laid out, the way the avionics are laid out, the displays on the MFD and the PFD—they're going to be pretty much the same. So that it's an easy of transition in a multi-ship fleet for a pilot to go from one aircraft to another," Bucari said. He also mentioned a proprietary software design.
|AW189 P2 testbed on the tarmac at Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY) during a Dec. 6 demo flight.
Bucari went on to explain the "family approach" to the design of the AW139, AW169 and AW189, saying "they're kind of like brothers of one another—not derivatives of one another, but brothers. They share a common family background—they look the same, fly the same, talk the same, but they're a completely different aircraft."
Richard Luck, head of AW609 marketing, explained that AgustaWestland has increased the flying frequency of the test program over the past 11 months, compiling more than 750 hours, or around 10 percent of the total program. AgustaWestland became the sole owner of the BA609 in November 2011, with the type certificate transferred over in February 2012. FAA certification for the AW609 is projected in 2016.

I totally want a disco ball now!!!ReplyDelete
Right!?! Why have we been hiding these away in closets & party stores all this time?Delete
Love it!! My mother in-law has one that she wants to hand down for me, but the hubs is fighting it tooth and nail. I might have to take an extra suitcase and sneak it down next time we go visit! Such a fun and inspiring post Kristin!ReplyDelete
Yes, you make a very convincing argument! I have about an 8" ball but it's done in Christmas colors. It usually sits on my coffee table for the season and every morning the sun hits it and shoots green and red sparkles all over the room. We all love it! I may need a mirrored one to keep out all year!ReplyDelete
I thinks its awesome and I really love it when its mixed with lots of neutrals and texture. hmmm now Im thinking a disco ball in in my future...ReplyDelete
Totally love them too!
I have two disco balls around here, one hanging at my staircase and one on the table at my reading nook.
Love and huggs from Germany...
Um...FUN! Love it! A disco ball adds just the right kind of sparkle! :-) Can't wait to see it on your tree!ReplyDelete
I have an antique one. My daughter bought it years ago with her own money ... she recently was "over it" and I snapped it up. The old vintage ones are amazing in the sun! I recommend one for every house!ReplyDelete
after seeing this . . . yes!ReplyDelete
Fun! I think I have a gold one in amongst all of the Christmas stuff, and I may have a silver and a mauve as well. Might just have to roll those suckers out early.ReplyDelete
Ooooh so fun! I'm a big fan of sparkly and shiny and would love this! I can also imagine the dogs going crazy when the light hits it and throws off all the light everywhere!ReplyDelete
Totally love this! In a fireplace or bookcase is awesome. I will be watching for one now, what a cool idea :)ReplyDelete
Too funny! I just picked one up at the craft store the other day!! I love it and can't wait to use it at home...flashback baby :)ReplyDelete
In fact, I have! :) Two years ago I bought one for the top of our Christmas tree. Everyone thought I was either nuts or loved it. But what matters is that I loved it. It added a touch of fun to our decor and you cant deny how amazing all those sparklies are when the sun hits it!:)ReplyDelete
I've had my Disco Ball hanging in our kitchen for over 10 years. I love it. Even have some Disco Ball earrings, although those are somewhere stashed in my jewelry box. The way I see it, everyone should have a disco ball.ReplyDelete
I have one that's been in my kitchen for over 10 years. When the mood strikes we just plug it in and let it do it's magic. I even have disco ball earrings, although they're stashed somewhere in my jewelry box. The way I see it, everyone should have a disco ball in their house.ReplyDelete

Yogi Bear at the Movie House!Posted Monday, January 31, 2011, at 2:18 PM
If you've read much from me, you know Wayne and I love to do fun things with our Grandchildren. Yesterday, we managed to get 5 of the 8 Grandchildren together. Not only that, but we got the Great Grandparents too! We took up the better part of two of the back rows.
It's a process getting that many kids in one vehicle, (specially when you're out of practice) We gave ourselves an hour to get that part of the job done.
We got the job done, and had about half an hour to spare. Hmmmmmmmmmm..... what to do for half an hour? If you know us, you also know that we wind up in D&B Supply frequently. So, we decided to kill a few minutes and headed there to see what we could see.
It is a bit intimidating having a handful of kids ...but we did it!
We are long time friends of Sondra, who works in D&B. Tracy is another friend, and both of them enjoyed meeting and being introduced to our Grandchildren. The kids were not shy about telling about how old they are etc. The two Jillian & Gillian enjoy telling everyone their names are nearly the same.
Of course we had to go see what toys there are, and they were like little troopers going down the aisles.
We did notice that these kids seem to have all these toys. I wonder how that happened? hmmmmm?
Stick horses are always a hit. You can't have too many horses of any kind. trust me, ya can't
We had spent just about enough time, so we headed out.
You KNOW they put these little animals right by the exit, just for those impulse moments.
Back to the car, getting more excited to go see Yogi Bear!
This is what takes so long really, all the buckling and unbuckling. Happy to do it though
How cute ARE these kids...???? Trust me, they're the cutest. Just ask me, I"ll be happy to tell ya
Sean Powers owns the theatre along with his wife Audra. He's also a long time friend. He kind of thought we might be a bit crazy taking on 5 grandkids for their 1st movie outing. We knew we'd be going crazy later, so why not get this thing started!
Here is our friend Audra, diligently working at not having her picture taken.
This was a super friendly kid, who didn't seem to mind having his picture taken. He did think it a bit out of line to ask for 5 popcorn kid things. (dunno what they're called)
You HAVE to have popcorn at the movies!
Nobody had a better seat in the house, besides my Mom. Then of course at the end of the movie, all the kids got a ride. Not all kids get ride at the theatre, ya know.
Yogi Bear was as good as it was when we were kids, and the kids were spell bound all the way thru. What kid doesn't love an above average bear that talks?
It was worth every penny and more. We made memories with those kids, and can't wait to do it again.
P.S. My Mom said something that touched my heart that evening. There was a lady in front of my Mom who asked if she was going to be in her way. (Thank you very much for being considerate of my Mom, that in itself was worth the evening to me) My Mom replied "
"These are all my Great Grand Children, You couldn't bother me tonight"
And all were happy.
The point of my blogs, is always to show the beauty of what we have in our lives. Not the "things" but the lives themselves. A lot of what we have is simply the appreciation of each other, and helping each other to simply appreciate.
Take your kids to the movie, and watch their little faces

The protest, near the port of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil, is currently stopping the ship from leaving to load pig iron which is a key ingredient in the steel making process. Greenpeace research has linked this commodity to rainforest destruction, slave labor and the invasion of indigenous land.

..aha .. is this a new marketing "strategy" ?
Patriot Memory, a leading supplier of advanced DRAM- and flash-based components, on Thursday revealed its first Fusion solid-state drives (SSDs) with dynamic random access memory (DRAM) buffer. Adding such buffer to SSDs boosts performance, but not a lot of SSD makers are installing it due to various reasons.
"By the addition of the DRAM cache, the Fusion greatly increases the random and sequential read and write transfer rates. The DRAM acts as a buffer and increases the reliability, and lessens the possibility for 'bottlenecks' within the data transfers," said Meng J. Choo, Patriot's Flash Product Manager.
Patriot Fusion solid-state drives with 64MB of DRAM cache will be available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities.
The manufacturer did not reveal other performance figures of its Fusion devices, but already available Warp v3 SSDs can boast with up to 240MB/s sequential read and up to 160MB/s sequential write speeds, while Warp v2 offer up to 175MB/s sequential read speed and up to 100MB/s sequential write speed.
Pricing of Fusion products was also not announced.

By Jimmy Golen/The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Runners left Hopkinton for the start of the Boston Marathon on Monday with more to worry about in the 116th edition of the race than the up-and-down, 26.2-mile road to Copley Square.
Heat was already slowing the pace of the leaders and creating potentially dangerous conditions for the rest of the 27,000 registered runners. Temperatures were expected to reach the mid-80s, forcing organizers to offer a largely unprecedented deferment to the entire field that had spent the last year qualifying, registering and training for what often is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The wheelchair racers left Hopkinton at 9:17 under sunny skies and a temperature of 69 degrees, followed by the women's field at 9:32. It was 73 when the elite men and the rest of the field went off at 10 a.m.; by the time they got to Boston's Back Bay, the temperature was expected to rise into the mid-80s.
Hopkinton residents Ted and Nanda Barker-Hook have been handing out sports drinks, coffee, water, bananas, and sunscreen on the road leading to the starting gate for the past five years.
This year, no one is touching the coffee.
Recreational runners who did show up said they are prepared.
"You've got to know your own body," Mike Buenting, of Minneapolis, who has run 10 marathons, said as he waited for the starting gun. "You have to know how to hydrate and the rest will take care of itself."
The women were already off to a slow pace, with a first mile of 6 minutes, 15 seconds and a three-mile pace that would bring them in at around 2 hours, 38 minutes – the slowest Boston Marathon women's race since 1978.
Five-gallon jugs of water – twice as many as usual, organizers said – were already lining the route early in the morning as volunteers and medical staff stood by preparing for the influx of hot and tired runners. It was not immediately known how many took them up on the offer for a deferment.
"We're asking runners who haven't run previously to think about tomorrow and maybe coming back next year," Boston Mayor Tom Menino told attendees at the traditional pre-race pasta dinner at City Hall Plaza on Sunday night. "We don't want to have any accidents out there, or anybody overtaken by the heat."
The Boston Athletic Association also offered a limited deferment in 2010, when the Icelandic volcano eruption stalled air traffic in Europe and prevented about 300 runners from getting to Boston.
BAA co-medical director Pierre d'Hemecourt warned runners with underlying medical issues, such as a cough or a cold or a recent stomach virus that left them dehydrated: "Please don't run the marathon on Monday." Those who have not run a full marathon before, or who have not run in the heat, also should sit this one out, race organizers said.
"Only the fittest runners should consider running. The risks that you'll see tomorrow are simply greater than normal," BAA executive director Tom Grilk said, advising runners who do line up at the start to slow their pace and focus on finishing rather than having a fast time. "You should adopt the attitude that this is not a race; it is an experience."
One year after cool temperatures and a significant tailwind – perfect running weather – helped Geoffrey Mutai finish in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds for the fastest marathon ever, the heat has elite runners preparing for a slower pace and the recreational runners trying to figure out how to finish at all.
Forecasts called for 82 degrees at the Back Bay finish line at noon. For the recreational runners expecting to be out on the course in the afternoon, temperatures are expected to peak at 84 by 3 p.m.
Although Mutai said he has never run a hot marathon, fellow Kenyan and defending women's champion Caroline Kilel said she was used to training in warm weather. But Kilel said the typical conditions were more like 73 degrees – hot for a marathoner, but not quite what's expected on Monday.
"The heat affects everybody. Nobody runs fast in the heat. Nobody benefits from the heat," 1968 winner Amby Burfoot said this weekend as the weather became the dominant topic of conversation. "If anyone's been training in Miami, that would be great for them."
The Boston Marathon has had its share of hot weather, with the thermometer hitting 97 degrees during the 1909 race that came to be known as "The Inferno" and the 1976 "Run for the Hoses" that started in 100-degree heat and finished with spectators sprinkling winner Jack Fultz with garden hoses to cool him down.
"It's just the worst thing a marathoner can face," said Burfoot, who ran with Fultz for half of the `76 race before fading in the heat. "I hate that the marathon is such a crapshoot. You train for 4-6 months, and the only thing that matters is the weather."
The last on-course death of a Boston Marathon participant occurred in 2002, but the Chicago Marathon stopped its 2007 race after 3 1/2 hours when a runner died after temperatures climbed to 88 degrees.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America is pleased to announce that Missouri's Ashley Fleming (Silex, Mo.) was named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for her efforts over the week of April 26 – May 2. Fleming hit .769 over 5 games helping lead her team sweep two Big 12 Conference opponents, Iowa State and Baylor.
The sophomore out of Silex, Mo., finished the week with 10 hits in 13 at-bats, which included three doubles and two home runs. She also scored seven times and drove in eight runs, while going a perfect 3-for-3 in stolen bases. Her on-base percentage for the week was .789, and her slugging percentage was an astounding 1.462.
"I'm very happy for Ashley, the honor is well deserved," said Missouri Head Coach Ehren Earleywine. "She had a tough freshman season and dealt with some up and downs at the beginning of this year, so I'm glad that she is being rewarded for perseverance."
Fleming recorded at least one hit in all five games last week, which included perfect 3-for-3 days in the series openers with Iowa State and Baylor. In the Iowa State doubleheader, Fleming finished 4-for-5 with three runs, four RBI, a double, a home run and two walks. In the midweek makeup game against Central Methodist, Fleming went 1-for-2 with a run, a walk and a stolen base. She finished the Baylor series at 4-for-5 with three runs, two doubles and four RBI. She is hitting .374 on the season and is tied for the team-lead in home runs with eight, while ranking in at second on the team with 36 runs batted in.
"I am honored to receive this award," Fleming said. "My focus has been to help my team in the most effective way possible. It is a lifetime experience every time I get to step onto the field as a Mizzou softball player and it is an honor to receive an award that so many great athletes have gotten before me."

With winter fast approaching it's important for pet owners to care for their dogs a bit differently to ensure they remain healthy when they're outside in the cold. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that one problem that can harm a dog in the winter is congelatio, or frostbite.
This condition occurs when damage is caused to the skin and other tissue due to being in extreme cold weather - 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower - for an extended period of time. In most cases bouts of frostbite occur in body parts that are farthest from the heart and body warmth, including areas on a dog's face such as the ear tips, the tip of the tail or a dog's limbs or toes.
According to VCA, clinical signs that a dog has frostbite include discoloration of the affected skin - many times it will be pale, gray or blue-toned. The area may also be extremely cold to the touch and the dog may cry out in pain when the spot is touched. Initially, the area may appear swollen and blisters or skin ulcers may appear. Areas of black or dead skin may also appear in severe cases. VCA adds that these signs may not show up for several days, especially if the affected area is small or is covered by hair.
If these signs appear, bring the dog to the veterinarian health clinic right away so a trained professional can assess the damage and start a plan of action to help it heal. As a general rule, if it is too cold for you to be out for a prolonged time – it is too cold for your dog! When playing outside in cold weather, take frequent breaks to warm up indoors and consider booties or other cold weather protection for your dog.


text: To understand why US is lagging behind, we have to first look at the many competitors out there. For example, Sun Tech is one of the leading Solar company in China that offers clean power for every application and market, from off-grid systems, to homes, to the world's largest solar power plants. They can make products alot cheaper because of the relatively inexpensive labor and materials. Its solar modules are installed in over 80 countries. The key for U.S. company to grow is to see how it can possibly lower the cost.

text: The reviews for the amplified sound of the Anthem system have been positive on the various forums. However, all the various players have suggested that the acoustic sound of the instrument of their instruments have been been slightly dampened. One player suggested it was because of the contact mic on the bridge plate and recently someone suggested it was the UST itself and that was after noted builder James Goodall installed the unit. I have a Goodall KGC. Is there any validity to these claims and are there any plans to revise the UST or any other part of the system to eliminate any of these tone losses in the sound? Also, is the system compatible with the PARA DI I have?These are my main concerns and otherwise I would like to install one of these systems in one of my instruments. Thanks for any helpful information!

Posted on 11/13/2012 3:12:25 PM PST by 1rudeboy
Colorado Springs, Colo. (November 12, 2012) On Election Day, at an enthusiastic gathering of Obama supporters in Fountain, Colorado; Dave Phillips, a reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph, had just finished an interview with Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar about his controversial policies for managing Americas wild horse populations. Just after Secretary Salazar answered final questions about the future safety of wild horses and he turned to leave the interview, he unexpectedly approached Phillips and told him, If you set me up like this again, Ill punch you out. Standing nearby was Ginger Kathrens, Executive Director of the Cloud Foundation, a Colorado-based wild horse advocacy organization. I was stunned by the Secretarys rude and clearly hostile comment toward Dave, said Kathrens.
Kathrens, who had had been granted permission by an Interior law enforcement official to take pictures at the rally added, Salazar walked past me, refused to shake my hand, and told me, You know, you should never do that. It was unclear to Kathrens what he meant. These threats would have been inappropriate coming from anyone, but the fact that it came out of the mouth of the Secretary of the Interior is alarming, stated Kathrens. I cant believe that a top official in Obamas cabinet could be so defensive.
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
If I threatened to punch somebody out at work I would be fired.
>> "If you set me up like this again, Ill punch you out. "
Nothing to see here, just a colloquial form of displeasure. /s
But seriously, we're not exactly talking about the ambiguous veiled threat which can cause serious problems for the ordinary citizen.
You must be white, and a male. Like Petraeus, for example.
"Punch you out", what does that even mean.
Does he mean punch you?
Does he mean take you out?
Besides he is a democrat he is automatically a sissy bot - just saying.
I cant believe that a top official in Obamas cabinet could be so defensive.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
IF you want to see a picture of Mz Kathrens, go to dictionary and look up NAIVE.
I think I can understand what she was trying to say but she surely did not use the right choice of words.
Feel the love from 0bama's gang of thugs.
I'm torn here.
A reporter versus an administration official... I am eager for the fight to happen, but I want them both to end up as bloody heaps on the floor.
More likely it would end after a few slaps and a lot of tears.
She's probably not much of a conservative, so yes, a bit naive.
If you set me up like this again, Ill punch you out.
Republican politicians have been "set up" by the MSM, oh..I don't know..2,824, 631 times? Imagine if a Republican talked that way? Maybe it's time to STOP imagining...;)
That was my reaction, too...Mz. Kathrens hasn't been paying attention to the Obie regime's MO.
Apparently Phillips doesn't get it. You're not suppose to question the Zero or even his minions. You are suppose to show show gratitude for all that the government is doing.
The "Knock-out Game" is becoming very popular.
Just goes to show how breathtakingly stupid Kenny Salazar is - that punch would probably cost him six figures. ('Here, Kenny, punch me! I just called you a complete idiot!' ;>) Of course, his comment in Denver back in 2008, to the effect that he wouldn't support offshore drilling even if gasoline was $8 a gallon, didn't exactly suggest a high degree of intelligence.
my frau couls pinch me out harder than this effeminite, urban cowboy little putz. he is an embarassment to my state, among many embarassments.
could punch. big fingers little keyboard
Apparently someone has been comatose for the last four years.
Sorry, Chris Porter, wherever you are - but you don't ever want to blindside a guy.
I would have called him out on it and then beat his a$$ silly. Arrogant government jerk.
I believe that my answer would have been "bring it!"
I think I know that girl. It was 1966 her name was Vicky Hollingsworth (I'm 53 and never forgot that name). She would find it funny to kick boys in the groin.
She did it to a friend of mine so I knocked her so hard she flew backwards at least five feet and landed on her arse.
My 5th grade teacher, Miss Robinson (hubba, hubba, she was hot), gave me a gold star! lol
The good Dr. here from FR should trade his devil costume for a horse costume and show up at Salazar events with a sign "Don't punch me Bro!"
I have no problem whatsoever bringing back dueling. Swords, knives, pistols at 30 paces. Ninety percent of Buckwheat's fascist bureaucracy could be eliminated within 30 days.
Lie down with thugs, get punched out.....
However, I was married to a ballbuster with the maiden name of Hollingsworth for nearly 26 years.
They could be related.
Class, Character, Respect, And Dignity...they do not have.
where is the Professionalism? of the Current leaders of Department heads of the U.S. Government..I thought they worked FOR US...WE PAY THEM...don't we????
You know, this isnt just about wild horses, explains Kathrens. America needs leaders in Washington, and the President needs cabinet members who respect citizens, respect the laws, value discussion and working toward mutual solutions. Ken Salazar displayed none of this on Tuesday.
Admittedly, Salazar the Arrogant didn't give a clue what he meant by "setting up." and neither did wiild horses advocate Kathrens.
But that is certainly a threat by an appointed Czar of President Mugabe.
I had a similar occurrence in the second grade. I don't know whether it was related to our dodge-ball game or something else, but a little girl tried to kick my then non-existent nuts out of the school yard.
We were taken to our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Schonfeld (a direct relative of Herr Hitler, I'm sure), and we were badly berated (I swear I hadn't done anything to anyone. Not my style back then, i.e. coward).
Well, forward 12+ years to 1965 and I was a bus counselor at a summer camp. One of our little boy campers got sick so I took him off the bus and behind a tree so he could throw up if he had to (he did, was pretty sick).
After that, when we got to his house, I took him to the woman in a bikini who was washing a car in their driveway, who I assumed was his mother. Not. It was his older sister.
Before I realized it, I shouted out "Hello, B***". It was the same little girl who kicked me in the second grade and other places. She looked like a Playboy model, but her face was still the same, just much more beautiful.
Long story short, about 25 years later, I met this little boy, now a clergyman, at an event and when I realized who he was, I introduced myself and recounted the camp story.
Sidebar, a fellow clergyman with him was an old friend, a guy from the Cub Scouts who I taught to throw the discus. He became a city champion at high school. His sister was the bus counselor on the bus where the little boy was sick. She, too, would have been Miss Universe, along with the little boy's sister. She was also very nice and very smart.
Interestingly, the brother/sister and little boy's sister all started their first name with the letter "B".
That was one strange "Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon" linkage.
That was one helluva day, two beauties at the same time.
He is also a Punk. He couldn't whip his own ass.
Republican politicians have been set up by the MSM, oh..I dont know..2,824, 631 times? Imagine if a Republican talked that way?"
"You want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him," Tagg Romney said...
No story here. People talk big when they are emotional.... Talking and acting are two different things....
My answer would have been "If you're feeling froggy, go ahead and jump."
Bet he brings his wife to help.
If you set me up like this again, Ill punch you out.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is characteristic of liberal fascisms attitude to a free press that asks effective questions in search of the truth.
If a pressman does not support Obama's propaganda line, they are disinvited from information ( propaganda) releases,
and their colleagues treat them as if they were lepers.FOX News is regularly disinvited, which shows everyone that they are at least attempting to do the proper job of a free press organization.
Salazar would look good with a knuckle sandwich applied by a genuine reporter.Apparently there are still a few genuine reporters around. Good for David Phillips.He should be complimented.
Salazar is Obama's chief wild horse slayer and a bully like Biden. He should be saddled tied and let loose in a herd of mustangs.
Good background to the thread article:
Phillip's questions start at the 4 min mark:
It's called Chicago Politics.
It is also the characteristic of a retard which Saladbar is.
I'll also add that Saladbar's policies have been killing hundreds of wild horses. But I guess no one will be amazed that an 0bama cabinet member is a lying sack of dog dung.

text: Staff on December 15, 2011 0 Comments Small kitchen appliances make great gifts for any occasion. They are affordable and usually appreciated for the purpose they serve. Finding the right appliance can be confusing and time consuming but with these tips we hope to make your next shopping trip a little bit easier! Do your research and make sure you compare reviews so the gift-receiver isn't left with a useless appliance. Here are the top three most common small appliances for gifts: 1. Coffee Makers One of the best and most popular appliance gifts for the holidays is coffee makers. These are excellent gift choices because they will provide the receiver with hot beverages, a great way to warm up during this cold weather period. Coffee makers typically range in price. Choices vary based on your budget and the special add-ons you want to include that may or may not be necessary for its overall purpose. For the best decision consider the recipient's taste. Do they enjoy bright colors? If so, the Kalorik 12 Cup Coffee Maker is a great choice, we love its bright cherry red color and it can make enough coffee for the recipient and their family.

Mixers and Blenders Mixers and blenders are the next most popular appliance gifts. They make the perfect gift for the baker in your life or your health-conscious friend who enjoys a morning smoothie. Both are also usually inexpensive but again, the price varies depending on the features you want. Does your brother love to tailgate?

Then we've got this amazing Kalorik Silver Stand Mixer, for the Betty Crocker in your life. You can choose from any of our mixer and blender options that come with a variety of features. . 3. Toaster And finally, another common appliance gift is the toaster. Many families use toasters every single morning for breakfast.

Our Cuisinart Classic 2-Slice Toaster is the perfect gift for your friend with a modern kitchen. Or you can combine the conveniences of coffee and breakfast by giving this Sunpentown Stainless Steel 3 in 1 Breakfast Maker as a present. — Finding the right small appliance for your gift giving needs can be easy if you consider the functions and preferences of the user.

Remember the popular Gatorade commercial "If I could be like Mike" which earned MJ millions and increased the Gatorade brand sales about 10 years ago? It sucked for us Cavs fans because it ended with MJ's shot over Ehlo but objectively speaking it was a highly succesful commercial worth huge money to the brand and to MJ. People liked it and identified with it. Well, maybe not in Cleveland but in most other places.
If Lebron would have stayed in Cleveland and won even 1 or 2 championships he could have had that sort of legacy and attracted those types of commercial endorsements.
I can't see it ever happening for him now mainly because the masses don't want to be like an asshole.
Nice job Lebron and advisors.
For those of you that don't remember it here is a link..sorry, I am too technically challenged to know how to link to the video..

Funding secured for passing lane project on Highway 23
MARSHALL – On Nov. 1, Charles Zelle, the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, made a stop in Marshall and spoke about the funding challenges facing groups all over Minnesota trying to improve the state's infrastructure.
Zelle was spreading the word about the importance of addressing the state's roads and bridges and said there will be a $50 billion gap between available funding and what is needed to improve and maintain transportation infrastructure. On Thursday, local officials received some good news on that front.
Gov. Mark Dayton and MnDOT announced Thursday that 10 highway construction projects will receive funding through the state's new $300 million Corridors of Commerce program. One of those projects, the Minnesota Highway 23 corridor from Willmar to Interstate 90, will receive between $13 million and $19 million for passing lane projects.
"It's thrilling news for anybody who travels in our region," said David Sturrock, chairman of the Marshall Area Transportation Group. "It will make 23 safer in terms of creating passing lanes and also some median safety structures with some new designs – innovative stuff MnDOT was able to learn about from outside Minnesota."
In its bid to secure funding, local transportation officials said the passing lanes will enhance highway safety by reducing pressure for traffic to make high-risk passes, encourage commercial traffic to use the corridor instead of seeking a longer route, provide opportunities to pass slower traffic and increase the predictability of travel time for the corridor.
"This grant is extremely important for safety and traffic flow across southwest Minnesota and also supports our long-term goal of four lanes along Highway 23," said Sturrock.
"It's a very good announcement," Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes said. "It recognizes the importance of Highway 23 as an interregional corridor, it recognizes the importance of transporting freight, which is important for the economic activity of the region, and it also recognizes the work our transportation group that, through the Chamber, has been doing for a number of years."
Construction on the Highway 23 project, Sturrock said, is projected to begin in 2016.
Sturrock said although Marshall's is one of the smaller projects chosen to receive funding, it was good to see greater Minnesota gets it share considering the competition for the dollars. There were more than 400 proposals submitted related to 100 unique road projects. Sturrock said of the 10 projects, seven are in greater Minnesota, including three in the southern portion of the state.
"We were cautiously optimistic," Sturrock said of landing funding. "We were given encouragement from MnDOT that ours was a very promising proposal. It's a nice distribution (of funding)."
Transportation improvements include the addition of lanes, bypasses and shoulders to essential travel corridors in the state, MnDOT said, including Interstate 94 between Rogers and St. Michael, U.S. Highway 14 in southern Minnesota, and Minnesota Highway 34 between Detroit Lakes and Nevis. The bonding authority is effective July 1, 2014, with five projects scheduled to start in 2014, three in 2015 and two in 2016.
Enacted during the 2013 legislative session, the Corridors of Commerce program authorizes trunk highway bonding to be used for projects that are not already in the state's four-year State Transportation Improvement Program. The legislation established two major goals for the program: to increase highway capacity on segments where bottlenecks occur and to improve the movement of freight and reduce barriers to commerce.

Skip to comments..308 Winchester
Posted on 02/07/2013 4:00:51 PM PST by M.K. Borders
Considering an upgrade into. 308 Winchester for some long shooting. Mostly predator hunting but also some competition. Lots of folks pointing me to the Remington 700 but I'm not getting real excited about that particular gun. Don't like that particular nylon stock and the action seems loose. Leaning toward Savage but would like some opinions.
I like the Winchester model 100...but you may have some trouble finding one.
You may want to check out the Howa 1500. You can even get barreled actions to build your own rifle.
I've had a Remington 700 SPS chambered in .308 for the past two years and it is my favorite rifle. The local coyotes hate it, though.
Ummm... You are aware that the Remington 700 comes in about 40 different variants, with wood, composite and polymer stocks on offer, right?
Your idea about Savage is very good! They're very precise out of the box with plenty of add ons after market. The trigger is extremely good. Unlike the Remington you can accurizable it yourself, no machinery needed. You can easily set headspace and rebbl if you like. There's just a lot to like and the price is right.
I recently got a Savage Predator Max in .223, it was very affordable. I was amazed at the out of the box accuracy and the crispness of the trigger. Go with a Savage with the accustock and accutrigger and you will not be disappointed.
I have had several Remington 700's and they seem to all have a 9 pound lawyer installed on the trigger. You can adjust it, but not as well as the Savage IMO.
What's wrong with a US manufactured Ruger M77?
The 700 is near and dear to my heart as that's what I used when I was in th Corps. But that Savage is a sweet deal for the price.
I like my Winchester Model 88.
Modern R700s have the new Xmarkpro trigger which is adjustable by the user down to about 3 pounds. Multiple reviewers have said it is as if it can with a trigger job from the factory.
This is because Savage first shipped their similar Accutrigger, of course, and Remington had to compete or lose out in sales.
Remington 700 is an excellent rifle model. I have one in .30-06 and one in 7mm Remington magnum. You can't go wrong with a 700.
I have a Savage target rifle in .308 caliber. I love it. Without being a great shot I can nail a target at 400 yards without difficulty. (I have a good variable scope which cost a bundle.) I love Savages trigger. The downdside being the weight of the gun. The gun assumes one will use a bipod or other support.
I've recently heard of some accuracy issues with the 700 due to the bedding. I'm considering a 300 winmag myself. heard some good things about that one.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
My Savage is around MOA with me shooting it (the spirit is willing but the eyes are weak) out to 300 yards. Put one of the Nikon M-223 drop compensating scopes on it. If you know the distance, it is right on the money.
Savage works very well in the long range department. 938 yard prairie dog kill with a 243 last year.
Again, depends on model. R700s are offered in many different configurations with different bedding.
Also, .300 WinMag is a caliber, not a specific firearm. :P And yes, the 700 is offered in that caliber as well.
That's a bigazz sod poodle.
At home I have a Savage in 22-250; bull barrel, composite stock; scope set to 500yds. Killer.
Nice caliber. I got the .223 so I had a bolt gun that ate the same ammo as my AR.
Personally, I'd go with the Scar 17s heavy. Can't go wrong with that. It's the Ferrari of .308s.
You might want to consider an upgrade to a 30/06. It is a bit more versatile that the .308 regarding the number of loads you can buy or work up and packs a little more punch.
Plus the AMMO virtually universal in the US.
I love my Model 70 Winchester 30/06.
Check it out.
It is my opinion that for the money Savage makes the best out of the box bolt guns. I would say that .308 is a little overkill as far as coyotes go. But if you plan on also deer hunting with it is ok.
Most coyote hunters are now using AR-15's in various calibers because many times you may have the chance to get a double and an AR is the ticket for a fast follow up shot.
My personal coyote gun is an AR-15 chambered in .204 Ruger. I like that caliber because it shoots flat enough that I don't have to be concerned with hold over untill I am beyond 300 yds.
You should really consider a SAI M1A .308 Winchester! Best shooting gun you will ever own. Good for short range and anything out to 1000 yds! One of the best rifles ever made! One of the best looking rifles too!
The Savage is real neat. I go to eastern WA to shoot prairie dogs - nasty critters. I can sit off 5 to 6ooyds using a bench rest.
For your expected type of shooting, I think a model 700 in .260 Remington would be ideal.
The .308 is a good all around rifle but the .260 is an excellent long range or predator caliber and kicks less.
Of course .308 ammo is a lot more popular.
I have a 700. The action is loose and damn thing hurts my shoulder.
Accurate as hell, hurts after 25 rounds, action pisses me off.
Still, I can make about 25 rounds group under 1" using a Leupold MK IV.
I am getting the new 783 and I'll switch the Luepold over to that and then send the 700 out for a new bolt that is way smoother.
The 783 has a dampening system that will help with my anticipation and flinching from the pain. It has a better Bolt that glides instead of stuttering as the 770 does.
When I get the 770 fixed I'll put the Luepold back on it and fit the 783 with a Brown and Schmidt.
I know about P Dogs being from New Mexico and all.
The last one I dispatched (on my property) did a favor to their gene pool. It emerged from it's burrow for some mini carrots and I got it with a .22 smoothbore from about 15 feet.
The Savage bolt action is a great gun and the 308 Win cartridge is good out to about 800 yards. I have heard that the 260 Rem (also based on the 308 casing) is the hot cartridge for the 1000 yard shooters.
The 770 is the gimped economy take on the 700. It's not well finished and it is basically terrible to work the action on.
But it's not a real 700.
I've also never heard of a 700's bolt stuttering. My 700VTR doesn't stutter, chatter or do anything like that. The bolt moves smoothly on it. Not quite like oil on glass, but not like dragging a stick through sand either.
The 24" varmint barreled Savage with Accu trigger and Accu stock. With an old Nikon Monarch 5.5-16.5x44 I can just about choose which eye I want to shoot out of a coyote. I get 3025 fps with 46gr of Varget under a 155gr Nosler Accubond bullet in the RP brass I don't particularly like. Now if only them coyotes would stand still long enough for me to get my act together...I actually use the same rifle in .223 REM for coyotes and prairie daugs. So far just paper with the .308.
Get a bi pod you can shoot with in the sitting position.
And don't just duplicate that load, work up your own. (Your mileage may vary)
That's the next economy version of the 700. Better than the 770 by all reports but still gimped a bit. The bolt handle is plastic, for example.
A rifle well ahead of its time. I had one in .284 that I would dearly love back.
Information/education BUMP! Thanks to all posters.
I have a 'new' pre-64 Winchester 70 in '06 I bought in 1995. It has possibly the roughest bore I've ever seen straight from a factory. Got a decent scope on it.
In September of 2011 I shot a 3-shot, center to center group of 1.10" at 168 yards.
I didn't think that was too bad for an old geezer (66 at the time) and whoever sees the target on the freezer door agrees.
The 110 Savage rocks.
Stay away from the Remington 700 because it has the same trigger problem from the day it was rolled out.
I have the 770 and it was supposedly and improvement over the 700. It ain't but the fancy scope works great.
"What's the predator you are going after...?"
Right! Two legged or four legged?
I just bought the thing because it was suppose to be an improvment. My decision had nothing to with price. Hell, four years ago I was on a spree with Springfield M1A's, Kimbers, Benelli, etc.
I only cared about performance, reliability and dependability.
Didn't really get a good deal on the 770. Next time I'll hold the damn things and run through the items important to me before I plunk down some loot.
Maybe I'll look into a 700 instead.
I like the Savage accu-trigger [reliable even down to 2 pounds, some say less, but I quit there; not all my work is off a bench or sandbag. Also, the extractor on the Savage can be changed out without armorer support, unlike the M700/M40X/M84.
For outranging other .308/ 7.62 NATO rifles, the US Army has gone to the .300 Winchester, while I make do with my old .300 Holland and Holland, on a Pattern 14 Enfield action and with a 26-inch barrel. In your case, since the synthetic stocks are acceptable to you, I might think that the .260 Remington cartridge deserves some of your careful study.
Beyond that: don't completely overlook the classics, the .30-06 and the 7,62x53r Russian. The former might well be found in a long-action Savage, the latter probably not. But the idea of a boltgun in one and a SVD in the other has a lot going for it.
Optics depends a lot on the enviornment and ranges at which you expect to use them. But I like the Elcan quite a bit.
By long shooting, what distance do you mean?
