Top school official kicks off Montana Farm to School Month
MISSOULA, Mont. - Montana's top education official proclaimed her commitment to National Farm to School Month at a youth agriculture summit in Missoula Monday. October was proclaimed National Farm to School Month by the United States Congress in 2010.
As part of promoting the campaign in Montana public schools, Superintendent Denise Juneau made an official proclamation during the Growing Leaders Youth Summit, held at the UM Campus. The summit, organized by interest group Farm to Cafeteria Network, gathered youth from across the state to explore how to get local, healthy food into Montana schools.
Groups like Farm to Cafeteria Network and Gallatin Valley Farm to School are helping schools with connecting with local growers and creating learning activities.
Juneau states that it's all about educating students so they understand where their food comes from and then can make informed and healthier choices about what they eat.
In addition, putting local food in the school system helps keep local farmers in business, something Juneau calls "A win-win situation for everybody involved."
One of the biggest campaigns during Farm to School Month is something called "Montana Crunch Time", where students will obtain locally grown apples and "crunch" on them all at the same time; October 24th at 2:00 p.m.
For more information on Montana Crunch time, download this guide from the Office of Public Instruction. More on Farm to School Month is also available here.

There are so many.
For the bad:
Probably all-time it would be the "Greatest Game Ever Played" -- the 1958 Championship Game vs. the Colts. It's the game that shot the NFL nation-wide and the Giants lost it in overtime (the only championship to end that way) on extremely bad referee calling. That was in the middle of a golden era where the Giants had Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry on the same staff, they went to championship games 6 times in 8 years (56, 58, 59, 61, 62, 63) and only won the 56 game.
In the modern era:
- 1978 "Miracle at the Meadowlands". Leading the Eagles and on course for the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, all they needed to do was hand off the ball and the game was over, victory in hand. Only the "Victory Formation" hadn't been invented yet. They hand off the ball to Larry Czonka, he fumbles, Eagles recover, win the game, Giants season torpedoed. However, this disaster was the catalyst that spurred the modern Giants -- after the season ended they brought in George Young as GM, he drafted Phil Simms, and brought in a new coaching staff that had Bill Parcells on it.
- 1985 - in the playoffs against the Bears they got DESTROYED, lowlight being the punter completely missing the ball in a kick and it's returned for a TD.
- 1988 - Jets knock 'em out of the playoffs
- 1989 - Lose in playoffs to an overtime stunner by Flipper Anderson on the first play
- 1993 - Playoff loss to 49ers. A last hurrah for Simms and LT, they went toe-to-toe with the Cowboys for the division in the last game of the season and lost. Cowboys got the bye and a home game, Giants had to play the 49ers on the road. Disastrous thumping and official end for two Giant greats.
- 1997 - Playoff loss to Vikes -- up by 9 points with 90 seconds left they lose the game and the team starts fighting with itself.
- 2000 - SB XXXV. After destroying the Vikes 41-0 in the NFC CG, they get destroyed by the Ravens 34-7. NOTHING goes right.
- 2003 - Playoff loss to 49ers. The "Trey Junkin" game. Giants up 24 points allow the 49ers to come back and are still in position to win the game at the end with a field goal. Snap is botched and the result is an incomplete pass but there was blatant holding downfield that should have given them another snap but the refs blew it, even got an official apology from the NFL for blowing the call. But the game still counted.
2005 - Home playoff loss to Panthers, 23-0. Complete no-show.
2008 - Home playoff loss to Eagles, 23-11. Complete no-show, blew #1 seed.
2009 - Last ever game at Giants Stadium. With the biggest assembly of Giants greats ever, and with playoffs on the line, you'd think they'd be motivated. Nope. 41-9 Panthers in another no-show.
2010 - Eagles game. Win this game and they lock up the division. Up by 21 points with 7:30 left and they lose the game. Onside kick, kick to Desean Jackson, game over. The following week against Green Bay playoffs are still on the line and it's another no-show.
I'm probably forgetting a few...

Norovirus is Going Around
Another on call weekend just completed, and it seems that gastroenteritis, also known as the tummy bug or stomach flu (whatever term you want to use) which causes vomiting and diarrhea, is still around. I walked into a lot of exam rooms with tired parents and kids all of whom had been vomiting and having diarrhea, not a fun weekend for a family at all. The most likely culprit is norovirus.
Norovirus causes about 21 million cases of gastro per year and leads to about 70,00 hospitalizations. You can get norovirus at any time of the year but it is most commonly seen during the winter, and it seems to be hanging around into early spring this year. This has been a particularly bad year for norovirus as there was a new strain so even more people seemed to get sick. That includes my own husband!
Norovirus is the leading cause of gastroenteritis in pre-school children. In a recent study, about 21% of the cases of acute gastroenteritis in children younger than 5 were due to norovirus. That compares to 12% due to rotavirus which used to be the primary cause of viral gastroenteritis. Since the introduction of rotavirus vaccine over 5 years ago the rates of rotavirus disease have steadily been dropping, and now norovirus has taken its place! You know those viruses, they are smart.
Norovirus causes inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines resulting in severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms begin soon after exposure and typically last 1-3 days. Many children will also run a low grade fever (around 101) and complain of tummy cramps.
The only treatment is symptomatic: begin frequent sips of clear liquids after vomiting and no solid foods while vomiting (not even a cracker or the pretzels I saw one mother give her child soon after they had vomited, guess what, we saw them again).
Once the vomiting has stopped you can start some bland solid foods like crackers, or soup, or noodles and then advance to other foods. I recommend staying away from dairy for a day or two as well, as I think this may lead to more cramping, and you know kids love dairy products. (think macaroni, no cheese, or Gatorade or Pedialyte rather than milk for dinner).
The problem with norovirus is that it is easily spread via hands, surfaces and maybe even the air. Studies have shown that even after using hand sanitizer there may still be norovirus present. Surfaces may be contaminated as well, and the CDC recommends using bleach or hydrogen peroxide to wipe off surfaces. (I took bleach to our bathroom after my husband was so sick, TMI perhaps?).
The good news is that researchers are now working on a vaccine for norovirus, but in the meantime, we need to pray for warmer weather so we can all get outside and stop spreading these viruses around!

Some news on IT certifications in general
Another Nail in the IT Certification Coffin
As IT Certifications Devalue, Vendors Up the Ante
General discussion on certifications not mentioned in sub-boards of the main categories below.
IT certifications are worth less than ever, and the value of non-certified technology skills has surged, according to the third-quarter edition of the "Hot Technical Skills and Certifications Pay Index" from Foote Partners, a New Canaan, Conn., IT workforce research firm, on Nov. 1.
mn_kthompson wrote:What if I developed a hot new programming language, Kevin++, that was so cool that you couldn't write bugs in the software and it worked on every operating system and you could write an application like Peoplesoft in about five minutes. This technology would be hot and companies would be paying top dollar to get people that can program in Kevin++. However, it would take a couple years to develop a certification path for Kevin++ and it would take a few more years for the certification to gain enough credibility that people would seek it out. So you could say that we have a non-certified skill that pays better than some certified skills...but that statistic isn't really reflecting the value of certification, is it?

text: A while ago I bought a running 99 Sonoma with a 4.3 v6 engine in it. It ran great but then I discovered it had water running in it instead of antifreeze, so I immediately drained it and got ready to flush it, but didn't get around to finishing the job until two weeks later. When I tried to run some flush through the system, I found that the engine didn't start. The engine actually dieseled backwards for a few seconds when I attempted to start it. I thought that was odd because it had ran fine two weeks earlier. To make a long story short, I replaced the coil, then replaced the distributor. After I put the new distributor in, the engine actually turned over and ran for a few seconds. I did some research and found I probably had a fuel system issue, but then tested the pressure and found it was at a steady 60 psi. Right now I really don't have any idea what to do next. I don't think it's the timing chain because it starts and runs but I have no idea. If anyone has some tips, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Oh, One thing I forgot to mention is that the coil arcs after the engine dies but I have replaced the coil already. - - - Updated - - - Also I have an orange spark instead of blue.

DJ C*LA DJ C*LA live at TAO Beach
weekend job of mobile DJing (2003) was all it took before C.L.A. realized there was a passion and itch to transform music into a profession. Working as a mobile DJ broadened her musical knowledge as she played various events such as weddings birthdays corporate events yacht parties and more. C.L.A.s mobile experience opened up her knowledge of various musical genres and formats. This was the foundation of her skill and ability to read a crowd. Although this was a great start for C.L.A. she felt there was something more to gain from the passion that burned inside her.

Taylor Swift Promotes 'Red' In So Many Red Outfits
Taylor has been rocking red like never before — what a great way to support the recent release of her new album! Which look did you really love? VOTE!
What better way for her to market herself, and her album, 'Red,' than to live up to the title! Whether it's a complete outfit in the color or just adding a final touch with red lips, it's very rare to see Taylor Swift step out without a hint of the hue.
Although her wardrobe choices are all in the same red shade, she changes up her look from casual and chic to dressy and dainty. Now it wouldn't be very Taylor-esque is she didn't wear her signature fit-and-flair look– we saw this when she appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in a sleeveless frock.
When it came to filming her second single 'Begin Again,' Taylor walked the streets in red cut-off pants that were paired with yellow flats for an additional pop of color.
She changed it up a bit when she opted to wear black for her performance on Oct. 23 in Times Square for Good Morning America— but still opted for the fit-and-flare silhouette. Don't be misled… she still stayed true to the red trend by rocking the color on her guitar and microphone.
One thing all of her looks had in common — her vibrant red pout.
Do you think Taylor is excessively wearing red? VOTE!

You asked for it.....
Scientific American Volume XL - issue 18 May 3rd, 1879 Text of Article profiling the Wheeler and Wilson Company
In pursuance of our purpose of illustrating and giving some account of important American industries, we have reached a department of the mechanic arts preeminently American in its origin and development. Thirty years ago there was not a thoroughly practical sewing machine in existence; whether such a thing was possible was an unsettled question; how to sew successfully by machinery, if possible, was a problem for the solution of which American genius was projecting and experimenting in various directions. To-day all the markets of the Civilized world are supplied, we might say glutted, with an almost endless variety of sewing machines, and almost every conceivable kind of stitching on every species of material that may be sewed is done by machinery. That family is poor in deed that cannot afford one of these most effective of labor-saving machines, and that family must be rich that can afford to do without one. Let those who ascribe the privations and sufferings of the poor to the baneful effects of labor-saving machinery consider the tens or scores who now earn a comfortable livelihood with this admirable instrument, where formerly one with unremitting toil gained a scanty subsistence by plying the hand needle.
The approved form of machine stitch for general purposes is-the -so-called lock stitch, formed by the interlocking of two threads, which is accomplished by means either of a shuttle or of a rotary hook. Hence arise the two leading systems of sewing machines.
Happily it does not devolve upon us to decide the question of the relative merits of these systems, or of the particular forms of machines put forth by different manufacturers. We have the highest appreciation of the efforts of all who have effectively worked for the development of this useful art; whether of Elias Howe modifying old devices and applying them to the accomplishment of new purposes, or of A. B. Wilson discarding the shuttle and whittling the model of a thoroughly original, ingenious, and effective substitute therefor from the end of a broomstick. We have chosen to present our readers with some illustrations of the works of the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company.
Without going into the history of this concern, we might say of those from whom it derives its name, that A. B. Wilson, by the original inventions of the rotary hook and four-motion feed (to say nothing of his admirable complete machines), placed himself in the foremost rank of inventors and achieved enduring fame; Nathaniel Wheeler, who for about twenty-five years has been the president of the company, by his sound practical sense and administrative ability, as well as by his knowledge of mechanics and practical skill in mechanical operations, has been the chief developer and organizer of an immense and successful industry.
The works of this company are situated in the thriving city of Bridgeport, in the State of Connecticut. The principal buildings consist of the main factory for metal working, assembling, testing, etc., occupying one complete square, 368x307 feet, under one roof; a wood working factory, covering a second square, 526x219 feet; a foundry and needle factory upon a third, 368x232 feet the works altogether covering over seven acres of ground. To illustrate and describe the whole would require a large volume. Our artist has made sketches of a few rooms and interesting operations.
The main machinery room is that in which the principal mechanical operations are performed in the production of the metal parts of the sewing machines. This fireproof room is L-shaped, 300 feet in length, 210 feet in width in one part, and 180 feet in the other. Power is distributed from four main lines of shafting, which have not perceptibly deviated from correct adjustment since they were first placed in position, thirteen years ago. In this room there are no less than 1,003 separate machines for special mechanical operations, a large portion of which are automatic, -- That is to say, practically speaking, possessed of such intelligence and skill as to direct and control their own movements -- only needing consciousness to rise to the plane of the skilled mechanic.
The number of driving belts which meet the view in this one room is, by actual count, 1,070, of the total length of 39,510 feet, or but 90 feet less than 7 - 1/2 miles. This is exclusive of short feed belts, etc., of which there are probably as many more,
Here may be seen good examples of the economical results of the division of labor. Take, for example, the rotary hook. No man makes a hook. It is forged here, turned yonder, one machine makes this cut, another that, and so it is passed on from machine to machine, until after 128 distinct operations, that one part is completed, inspected, and ready to take its proper place, So the making of a glass presser involves, we are told 32 different operations, and a hemmer 70.
In neighboring rooms are the plating, japanning, and or• Enameling departments. We were struck with the apparent excellence of the japanning, its smooth surface and brilliant luster, and were surprised to find, upon inquiry, that by particular processes and materials this extraordinary finish was produced more expeditiously, and at less cost, than ordinary and inferior work.
Here we may remark that, being given the liberty of the shop, we improved the opportunity to make inquiries, and in our probing for information one of the mechanics "let out" to us the following: Upon one occasion when Mr. Wheeler (the president) was deeply interested in improving the process of japanning, he stripped off his coat and put his hands to the work to demonstrate how it should be done-not a rare thing for him to do.
A Hibernian employee, happening to see him thus engaged, and not knowing or not recognizing the mall, exclaimed to one of the workmen, " Begorra, but it must be hard times outside!-to see a fine appearin' gintleman like that, rubbin machines at a dollar and a quarter a day!" If we ought not to have repeated this anecdote, we beg pardon of whoever may be offended.
One of our sketches shows a portion of the assembling room. Here is illustrated the mechanical precision resulting from making all parts of the machines to exact gauge.
In assembling a machine each part is taken from an indefinite number of that kind, yet all come together with the most perfect fit. In other words all parts of the same kind are perfectly interchangeable. The holes for the shaft bearings in the beds of the machines are reamed out with diamond reamers, producing a perfectly true and polished interior surface, the contact between which and the shaft, though airtight, allows perfect freedom of motion.
For each part of the machine a standard model and a standard gauge are carefully kept, by which the working and inspection gauges are tested from time to time, and kept in the highest degree of exactness.
The organization and maintenance of the perfect system which prevails throughout these works reflect the highest credit upon the secretary, Mr. Will. H. Perry, who has been connected with the company almost from the time of its foundation.
Passing through a tunnel under the street we reach the buildings in which "are the foundry and the needle factory, Of the former we will only say that for convenience and perfection of all appointments it is not surpassed.
As the sewing machine proper is useless without the needle, the latter is, of course, an article of prime importance. No department of these works is more interesting than the mechanical processes of converting steel wire into perfectly finished needles, and ill no department arc more wonderful illustrations of the triumphs of inventive genius; but we cannot attempt a detailed description of the machinery and processes, some of which, in fact, we are not at liberty to describe. The distinct operations in the making of each needle - cutting, grinding, and tipping the blank, swaging, cutting to length, rough-pointing, tipping, grooving, eye punching, burring, hardening, tempering, polishing, brushing, scouring, buffing, etc., etc., --now number thirty three having been recently reduced from fifty two by improved machinery.
In this department, as may be seen by our illustrations, useful employment is found for the gentler sex.
The buildings of the woodworking factory, or cabinet works, are two in number, each 526 feet in length. Here is made all the furniture for the machines, from a plain table top to the most elaborate and expensive full case or cabinet. The raw material is cut to dimension at the company's mill in Indianapolis and transported here to be worked up into the desired forms.
The company's aim is to produce, for general purposes, substantial and well finished rather than simply showy work. In this department, as in all others, every piece of work is subjected to the most rigid inspection, and if any be faulty in any particular it is rejected.
A noticeable feature here is the perfect smoothness and luster produced in finishing the surface of the wood. For this purpose is used a "wood filler," invented and patented by Mr. Wheeler, by means of which, we are told, the time, labor, and cost of wood finishing are materially reduced, with the production of better results as to the finish itself, the natural beauties of the colors and grain of the wood being fully developed and permanently fixed.

I am set to buy my first deer rifle. Background info--> I am 6'6", will likely shoot at home up to 200 yards distance. Want a scope. Level land with some sparse housing limits shooting angles.
I am looking at new rifles and am impressed that they cost a lot. Have not ventured into used rifle shopping but have been warned by father in law that rifling can wear out. He says it can be tough to know if there is something wrong with a used piece.
I am reading library books and keeping an open mind. Any thoughts on new versus used and how to make this successful? Any other ideas???

While our global population continues to grow, the science community is constantly looking for new ways to meet the energy needs of our booming species. Electric cars, solar plants, nuclear, coal, biomass, and various other options are all important aspects of energy dialogue happening across the globe. We've used the sun, wind, and fossil fuels, but how about the ocean? Can the ocean power our houses?

New marijuana laws in Colorado Springs
City Council falls in line with statewide legalization from Amendment 64
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - On Tuesday, the Colorado Springs City Council revised or passed three ordinances aimed at helping police enforce legalized marijuana laws.
First, the council revised the existing ordinance that made the drug illegal. That ordinance now reflects state law created by voter-approved Amendment 64 last fall, which allows adults 21 and older to possess an ounce or less for recreational use.
Medical marijuana patients with a valid card can legally have two ounces. However, Deputy Police Chief Vince Niski said he wasn't sure if users legally can have three ounces by combining recreational and medical use of the drug.
Councilwoman Brandy Williams said the city needs more ordinances relating to legalized marijuana.
"How's it going to be in clubs, or in buildings that are private," she asked. "What will you do with limousines and second-hand smoke concerns? There's a long way to go when it comes to really what Amendment 64 is going to require out of the local municipalities."
Williams expects the state Legislature will pass more laws after considering recent recommendations from a task force appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper.
The council also passed two new ordinances banning marijuana use in public, and in vehicles on public property.
Police had asked for the ordinance to make enforcement easier.
Niski said possession of more than three but less than 12 ounces is a misdemeanor and violators will receive a court summons. Possession of any amount above 12 ounces requires an arrest and booking in jail, he said.
The council passed all three marijuana ordinances unanimously Tuesday. Niski said he wasn't aware of how many arrests have resulted from violations of legalized marijuana laws.

My houses are clean, full of young students and professionals that bring life and laughter to my home. My guests are all treated like family. I value honesty and integrity.
I lived in this house for many years with my daughters, this house belonged to my grandfather. It has sentimental value. It is old, but I keep it clean and maintained.
Jesus Maria is a typical residential neighborhood, with markets and restaurants. There are stores around the neighborhood that have been since the 1950's and I used to go as a child (make sure to try the Italian home-made gelatto at the store close to the main park) but the neighborhood has changed a little and you will see modern constructions too.
Close to bakeries, stores, supermarkets, bodegas, parks, church,gym, and post office.
The people in the house only speak Spanish so this room would be ideal for someone who wants to practice his/her Spanish and live with Peruvians in a traditional Limean neighborhood.

Bigger workloads and tighter company budgets are causing higher stress levels among New Zealand employees in certain sectors, according to a report out today.
Global recruitment company Hudson surveyed 1328 employees in New Zealand late last year and found 41.6 per cent were feeling more stressed than a year before.
Salary and Employment Insights 2013 also showed 67 per cent of 1392 employers were sinking their lids - spreading workloads over existing employees rather than hiring a replacement when a team member left.
With kiwi employers trying to do more with less, 77 per cent of employees said they were shouldering more responsibility and working longer hours, said Hudson NZ executive general manager Roman Rogers.
"Where roles aren't being replaced, that's putting pressure on the current team and is not sustainable in the long term," he said.
"People say they are working considerably harder than 12 months ago and many are working longer than 40 hours a week."
The survey covered workers in a range of sectors, including accounting and finance, financial services, human resources, legal, and ICT.
Just over half (56.4 per cent) of employees were found to be actively or passively looking for new roles, and better pay was cited as the most important consideration when changing jobs.
"With employees motivated by pay and budgets remaining tight, employers should prioritise spending and ensure rewards and benefits incentivise and retain high performers," Rogers said.
"Employers need to strike the balance between rewarding staff and managing financial pressures."
He said it is impossible for a company to reward everyone equally but employers should be taking a good look at which roles were the most essential.
"The key thing is they've got to prioritise the roles that are the most important and then look at whether people in those roles are people are being paid a fair salary.
"And of individuals that are performing well, are they being remunerated accordingly?"
Where bosses were unable to increase staff salaries, they could consider other rewards like flexible working hours or better holiday leave, Rogers said.
"If employees understand their efforts will be recognised and rewarded, they are more likely to be engaged, work productively and contribute to a positive company culture than can survive challenging economic times."
Hudson carried out the survey in October and November last year and contacted people from its own database.

This was established sometime in the first semester of the 2005-06 school year at a college known as Loyola. No one knows how the idea struck this man we know as Tom Beyer. But what we do know is he created the most incredible smoking device ever known to mankind. The GONG is not only a smoking device, it is THE smoking device. On a terrible night, Beyer was forced to dismantle and rid 808 East of the GONG, but its soul will live on forever. RIP THE GONG 2005-2005...

Joanne Weir"In my work as a teacher, I've traveled all over America and the world but I'm always drawn back to the place that owns my heart."
Joanne Weir is many things…a world traveler… a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author… a cooking teacher… a chef and television personality. In the second season of her very successful 26-part public television series, Joanne Weir's Cooking Class, Joanne's love of teaching cooking takes center stage. Her home kitchen is once again the classroom for each show as she works side-by-side with a real-world student for a hands-on cooking lesson. The student and viewer learn how to prepare a wide variety of Weir's latest wine country-inspired recipes, using the freshest and most seasonal ingredients available.
"Getting my words down on paper. It could be as simple as what I did that day or as complicated as describing a really special dinner in every, minute detail."
Awarded the very first IACP Julia Child Cooking Teacher Award of Excellence, Joanne shares a lifetime of experience that flavors everything she touches. Her first book, From Tapas to Meze (Crown, 1994,) was nominated for a James Beard Award and selected by Julia Child as one of her 12 personal favorites out of 1000 cookbooks published that year. A completely revised version of From Tapas to Meze (Ten Speed Press, 2004) was re-released with spectacular food photographs and won the 2004 Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best Mediterranean Cookbook.
From there she went on to publish a many books including James Beard nominated You Say Tomato (Broadway Books 1998). Her talents were finally brought to life in the public television series Weir Cooking in the Wine Country, shot on location in the Napa Valley. The companion book, Weir's More Cooking in the Wine Country (Simon & Schuster, 2001) went on to garner a James Beard Award nomination and an IACP Cookbook Award nomination. Joanne's adopted hometown, San Francisco, is the culinary setting for Weir Cooking in the City, her 26-part public television series and companion book (Simon & Schuster, 2004) for which she received a James Beard Award for Best Cookbook in the General Category in 2005. Joanne's newest cookbook, Wine Country Cooking was released by Ten Speed Press in 2008 and her newest cookbook, Tequila (Ten Speed Press) was released Spring 2009.
Joanne writes for many national magazines including, Cooking Light, where she is also on their Nutritional Advisory Board, Bon Appetit, Fine Cooking, Better Homes and Gardens, Food and Wine, and Sunset Magazine.
"I don't know that there are many other things I could have done with my life… I so love seeing new places and tasting new things."
Joanne's passion for home cooking was stoked by a legacy of life in the kitchen. Joanne's great-grandmother operated a restaurant in Boston at the turn of the century called Pilgrim's Pantry. That enthusiasm for food was passed down to her mother, a professional chef and caterer, who worked for years with the legendary cookbook author, Charlotte Turgeon. Joanne continues that same tradition, though it wasn't until after getting a degree in Art Education from the University and Massachusetts and teaching Fine Arts in Boston that she found her way back to the table.
Joanne spent five years cooking with Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and studied with Madeleine Kamman in New England and France and was awarded a Master Chef Diploma with honors. Her ultimate calling has been in her teaching which has taken her throughout the United States, as well as extensively all over the world. She spends six months of the year touring the globe sharing her extensive background with regard to food theory and technique, in particular Mediterranean cuisine and the regional foods of the U.S. All these elements come alive in her thoughtful classes as well as her delightful words and television series.

A former employee appeals our August 19, 1997 settlement denying his claim for additional living quarters allowances. In that settlement, we found that the agency properly caculated the amount due the employee. The former employees request for reconsideration simply restates the arguments presented earlier. He does not allege any errors of fact or law in the settlement, except to disagree with the outcome.
Accordingly, the settlement is affirmed.

I just completed upgrading the stock brakes on my 2011 WRX to Brembos and thought I'd share my experience.
The project began when I was able to score a pair of front Brembos off a 2004 STi and a pair of rear Brembos off a 2008 STi.
The guy who sold the fronts to me was going to rebuild and repaint them, but decided last minute to go with a set of 2008 STi Brembos. As a result, he was willing to let me have this set for a very good price. He had already stripped the paint off the calipers, which was great for me since I wanted to repaint them to match the rears anyway. He also included a Brembo rebuild kit in the purchase price.
The rear calipers were a real find. They were practically brand-new because the guy who sold them to me took them off his 2008 STi as soon as he bought it and replaced them with a BBK. So these had no wear on them at all.
This is what they looked like when I got them:
The next step was to get the front calipers repainted. I got them powder-coated glossy black to match the rears:
I decided to pair the Brembos with a set of DBA 4000 ClubSpec T3 rotors and Stoptech Street Performance brake pads. I really like the look of the new rotors:
The guys at KNS Brakes were extremely helpful. They knew exactly which rotors I needed to get: 2004 STi front rotors and 2008+ STi rear rotors. The DBA rotors were already dual-drilled for 5x100 bolt pattern, so they were simply bolt-on.
Now that I had all the components together, it was just a matter of installing them on my car. The guys at Yimi Sport Tuning took care of that for me.
Installing the front calipers and rotors was a very straightforward process:
The rears, however, were more complicated. The stock rear rotor dust shields are too small for the larger DBA rotors to seat properly. So, the lip all the way around and portions of the dust shield itself had to be cut off for proper fitment. On the other hand, once the rotors were taken care of, the 2008 rear STi Brembos bolted on my WRX with no problems whatsoever:
Once everything was installed, the next step was to flush the lines and replace the brake fluid. I decided to go with Motul RBF 600.
After bleeding the lines, it was time to reinstall the stock rims. FYI, in my case, the stock 2011 WRX rims did NOT clear the front Brembo calipers without scraping. A set of 3mm spacers took care of that problem.
Here are a couple of pics of my car after everything was complete:
This Brembo conversion was a long-time desire of mine, ever since I got the car. I must say it feels great to finally get it all done!


text: LOL, thanks ladies. My finger is no longer numb, but throbbing. I don't know when I last had a tetanus shot, though, so I think I will call the doctor about that. I should just expect these things when I quilt for other people. A few years back, I was rotary cutting late at night and my finger was over the edge of the ruler just a little. That was quite a night. Still hurt less than my finger now, or so it seems right now, lol.

Do you ever feel guilty for sewing when it is so nice outside? Like you should be out there soaking up the sun that is not filtered by the screen on the window?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Do you ever feel guilty for sewing when it is so nice outside? Like you should be out there soaking up the sun that is not filtered by the screen on the window?
nope, not at all.
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health - Voltaire
Haha! I do! I am sometimes secretly happy when it's raining out!
Nope! I don't like being hot in the sun. don't like being sunburned. don't like bugs. don't like to sweat. don't like wind blowing my project around. don't like gardening.
I do like to sew in the comfort of my home with screens and sunshades and air conditioning and TV and all the other comforts.
I do hang my laundry out though.
Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.
No, I gave up being guilty about things like that long time ago. I go with the flow now.
I've been known to have some guilty pangs when it is gorgeous outside and I am stuck in my windowless sewing room.
I fight this all the time. I want to sew but there always seems to be something, puppies to tend to, chickens, husband, dishes, laundry.....I'm sure everyone is the same to a degree.. I just have to some days just say I AM sewing today!! lol
I do a bit of both, sewing and ruining around in nice weather.
Yes, I do. However, if I make a quick appearance outside once in awhile, that seems to appease that guilty feeling.
Nope. My dog tries to make me feel guilty though. He looks at me like he's wondering why he has to be stuck with me in my sewing room when HE could be out in the sunshine!

On behalf of the Unofficial Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bulletin Board (which went online 6 hours before the official boards were shut down with 18 hours notice), greetings.
I personally don't talk smack much, because I am just a representative. But I do run a Predict-The-Score thread every week over there and as part of that thread I post a link to whatever official or nearly-official opposing team forums there are and this is clearly it.
I personally predicted a Giants win, at home, Super Bowl champs, and a long week to prepare it should be in the bag for you guys, but I can hope, can't I?
Anyway if you are interested, the link to the Predict The Score thread is below.
Happy smacking!

First what kind of meat are you using. Some meat an be tough even in soup. The best for soup is shoulder blade chuck roast, them bottom round beef roast. These will cook up tender and fall apart in your soup. Hope this helped
Soup will taste best if your meat includes a good sized bone. The marrow in the bone adds a wonderful flavor that plain meat just doesn't. Ox tail soup is an old fashioned, delicious vegetable soup that is still wonderful. I have a couple of grocery stores in my area that debone all of their meat. UGH! Don't buy from them when I can help it.
unless you are cooking filet mignon..........almost every other beef cut I cook low and long.....be it in the crock pot, oven or on top burners
slow cook with lipton's soup mix.. MMMMMM...then add veggies
If you cook it in one chunk until tender, then remove and cut into reasonable pieces. Or if you are using beef cubes right from the start, brown first, then add onion and garlic and enough water to cover bottom of pan and only half way up the meat. Keep adding a little water or broth until almost tender. Then add the rest of the needed liquid and veggies and simmer slowly. The meat needs to be braised to make it tender. If it's in a big vat of water/broth from the beginning of the cooking process, you've boiled the meat and it gets tough. Years ago this wasn't always the case, but now the meat is so lean.
I always beat the meat with a tenderizer or a large heavy metal sppoon will work. beat it-add a lil adolph's tenderizer if it is a cheaper cut. and I agree the lipton soup mix is a great flavor booster. we use a can of tomato soup and a can of mushroom soup. the soup mix. meat and veggies of your choice. slow cook. delish
I agree, simmer it very slowly with chopped onion, chopped celery and beef broth for about an hour, then add the remaining ingredients. I try to make a large roast first so I'll have roast beef left over to make into a stew or soup. It's very tender that way.
I too cook mine a couple of hours slowly. Also, you want a cut of meat that has marbling in it. Not thick gristle, but just thin streaking of fat. I also add seasoning (except salt, it makes it tough), garlic and onion to season the broth while the meat is cooking. I add salt if needed when I add the veggies. I add every veggie I can think of that I can sneak in.
I start any soup around 5:00 AM and cook it ALL day long, low and slow. I cook with beef, venison or chicken, turkey and it always turns out nice and tender. The longer it cooks, the tender-er it gets. Either crock pot or top of stove, makes no never mind, it turns out! Venison is almost more tender than beef. Good luck. I don't make a big deal out of soup, just throw in whatever is available, barley for sure with beef and venison - rice or noodles with chicken and turkey. The more you tend to it, the more it tends to bite you in the butt!!!!!!!! We enjoy "slop" suppers the most around here. That is usually reserved for Thursday (the night the refrigerator gets emptied) - shopping on Friday. So whatever is floating around in the fridge without any green on it, goes in the pot. I can make a mean soup! You wanna try something absolutely delicious and fast????? Bear Creek Bean Soup mix (in a bag) - about $3.49. Makes a lot of soup and then I add diced ham to it! Does that make a super soup!!!! Haven't tried the other Bear Creek, because I like to make my own, but my Mom made it (age 96) and gave me a taste and I was hooked. Has a little kick to it. Good on a cold night!!!!! Have fun with your soup! Edie

Despite the widespread implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) programs and many claims of success, there has been very little systematic investigation into their sustainability. A new study, which aims to change that, is creating a stir in the WASH sector.
A study commissioned by Plan International on the sustainability of CLTS programs in Africa revealed that 87% of the households still had a functioning latrine. This would indicate a remarkably low rate of reversion (13%) to open defecation (OD) or "slippage".
However, if the criteria used to originally award open defecation free (ODF) status to villages are used, then the overall slippage rate increased dramatically to 92%. These criteria are:
- A functioning latrine with a superstructure
- A means of keeping flies from the pit (either water seal or lid)
- Absence of excreta in the vicinity of the house
- Hand washing facilities with water and soap or soap-substitute such as ash
- Evidence that the latrine and hand washing facilities were being used

Just wanted to say I love the show. It gives my dad and I an excuse to watch TV together. It was kind of nice to tell my dad something he didn't know, like how you got started. He's a bit of guru compared to me when it comes to shooting.
I hope your business and family continue to prosper.
If the left can make a cowardly mass muderer like che guevara a hero, I can make PinoCHEt one.
(That is not my Buick in the photo)
I saw your guys using my trick to hold the AK hammer spring back by using a 12 gauge cartridge... glad to see I'm not the only one using that trick
As was suggested, you could paint them orange and sell them on the show
I enjoyed watching the .308 "sniper" conversion. My dad and I both enjoyed that since I recently built his "sniper" AK in 6.5x55. I love to see conversions and improvements to the AK platform. Hope to see more!

Ya missed a great show 4th. It should be on again next week right before the new show.
Flem is the MAN! One MG42 in a week would be a feat, 3 is phenomonal. The quad mount looked like it came right out of the Mauser factory that way. Once again, editing could be improved. I was really looking forward to hearing all 4 going at once, two was impressive as hell. I know them boys got them tuned up and running 100% eventually, we need some videos! Next week, a suppressed MK19 grenade launcher, wonder what 40mm is going for per round these days?

Hugh Hefner's Playboy: 1953-1979

Taschen publishes Hugh Hefner's illustrated autobiography.

We're can't pretend to be objective reviewers with regard to Taschen's newly minted publication that is Hugh Hefner's Playboy: 1953-1979. The 3,506-page, six-volume definitive "illustrated autobiography," published right on time to celebrate Playboy's 60th anniversary, culls as much from Hefner's infamous collection of scrapbooks as it does from private snapshots, magazine centerfolds and even from Hef's own comic strip, together tracing the ultimate playboy's journey from precocious kid to editor, entrepreneur and babe magnate.
"You can't really start a magazine on no money, but I did," Hefner writes in his introduction. "The response was immediate and I received orders for 70,000 copies from newsdealers across the country. All I had to do now was create the magazine."
Create a magazine he certainly did. And more. Hef built an international media empire out of Playboy.
Hugh Hefner's Playboy is pretty, it's glossy and the entire collection's probably in spiffier shape than any of the Playboys stashed around either your or your dad's bachelor pads, which should certainly be an incentive to own the collection. But that's not the only reason you need this most ultimate of Playboy memorabilia.
Taschen's Hugh Hefner's Playboy is a touchstone of our time. Spanning Playboy's postwar pinup heyday all the way into civil rights debates, outlining anticensorship battles, bush wars (no, we don't mean the father-son politico duo) and the very height of disco glam, together the books imbue a real sense of the beautiful, provocative and central role Playboy has played in popular culture, in politics, in the arts and in our collective imaginations.
And, after all, what better way to mark the passing years than with a month-by-month cache of groundbreaking articles, fascinating interviews, awesome fiction and, yes, a rotating score of gorgeous Playmates, Bunnies, Girlfriends and their twins, sisters and cuddle-buddies cavorting in or out of costume and otherwise behaving in a sexually liberated mien?
Iconic highlights include a conversation with Jimmy Carter about drugs, adultery, abortion, homosexuality and civil rights; gorgeous nude photographs of the ever-ephemeral Jane Birkin; and such mementos as a signed picture from Mansion houseguest Linda Lovelace that reads, "To Huge Hefner What else can I say (gulp!!!) I love it. Love & Kisses, Linda Lovelace."
But it's not all Mansion grottoes and slumber parties (though of course these are thoroughly documented). Excerpts in the collection read like a university modern literature survey course. Playboy's literary cred was, after all, built on featuring such authors as Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, Norman Mailer, P.G. Wodehouse, Arthur C. Clarke, Tennessee Williams, Robert Graves, John Irving, Sean O'Faolain … and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to name but a few.
So you can read Hugh Hefner's Playboy for the articles.

Q: What is your role on MAVEN?
A: On MAVEN, I am the instrument manager for the Remote Sensing Package. This instrument is an imaging ultraviolet spectrograph that looks at the chemistry going on in the Mars atmosphere, measuring the constituents by the characteristic UV light they emit. I worked with an amazing team of scientists, engineers and technicians who designed and built the complicated instrument, and with the equally outstanding people who will operate it in space.
Q: What has been the most exciting milestone of the mission so far?
A: It's hard to pick a "most exciting milestone so far", because the whole process of designing, building, launching and operating an instrument in space is a long series of critical milestones and there is always another one still to come. Getting MAVEN selected to go to Mars in the first place was wonderful. Delivering a great instrument to be installed on the MAVEN spacecraft was a proud accomplishment for the whole Remote Sensing team. Launch will be a nail-biter. Real success for me will come when we start getting data back from Mars; that's the point of the exercise.
Q: What is your favorite part about the MAVEN mission?
A: As a mission, MAVEN has been a pleasure to work on. It's doing interesting science, it has been well-managed at every level, and all of the teams across the project are "A-Teams" who really know their stuff. Just for me personally, MAVEN is special because it's my last planet. When it launches I will be able to say that I've held things in my hands that have been sent to every planet in the solar system.

Where I stayed
I am glad that I went on the 90 minute late afternoon San bushman's walk as within a few year's this will be lost ... the handing down of century old customs, which plants and roots to survive off, which ones to use for medicine, which one has water in it, how to make fire from rubbing 2 sticks.
That evening we were entertained to dancing by the San villagers. So different to what I had seen anywhere else.
With the increasing western influence, I am sure that the next if not current generation will have lost in only a few years much of what I saw a glimpse of. Thank you San bush people.
Botswana while rich in diamonds, has a major alcohol problem (so the government are increasing the prices), over 50% of the population has HIV / Aids and they have a life expectancy of just 28 years!!!!

you get 40pt 12reb 4asst 2steal 1blck on 16-31fg 8-9FT from Stat and Bargs, and still lose..
out of market so...
to me, and I've said this since day 1, STAT has heart just not the body. Melo on the other hand is purely a shooter and a ballhog.
These 2 have gobbled up so much $$$ that even a second-teir talent wouldn't come to NY unless they actually want to play for the Knicks.
As for the Draft, we got Melo to thank as well as Dolan and the reality is Melo and JR basically sabotaged a ship that was already sinking.
I don't hate Melo or Stat or JR; I just feel really let down by our Team and have been since the turn of the Century...
"There's winning and there's being a Knicks fan..."
As most know, i'm a big Umass fan, and always hope they do good in everything. Some of my fave sports moments were when Umass Hoops was battling in the final four with Marcus Camby and Company. Welp, Derek Kellog has the Umass Minutemen rolling again! There team is so unique and i believe they have 2or3 NBA quality players on roster.
They have a poor mans Kevin Durant type in Raphieal Putney, whos a 6ft 9in forward who has grea 3pt touch and is extremely athletic. He just drained 3 3pointers in a row against No.Illinois just now..
They got a big bruising C named Cady Lalanne whos a beast on the glass and shoots a high pct..
They also got guys like Chaz Williams(nate robinson like with better vision), and Sampson Carter, who does a bit of everything. Im excited to see where this minutemen team goes this yr, and thank god for Umass, because they at least are giving me something positive to watch this basketball season. Unlike the freaking knicks, its nice to see a team actually hit on there promise.
Bargs was big again.
I didn't catch the game because my I took my lil bro to that Hobbit movie lol... but looks like Melo shot better and Bargs went off. JR 1-8... yikes. Shump only shot twice but had the best +-. The bench got rocked on +- but looks like Tim did his thing with 13 pts. I haven't watched that many games lately since I just get super aggravated and have finals to study for but the games that I have watched lately Beno has played really poorly... Looks like he did a decent job tonight but I think I would like to see Murray get some more burn. He is big and shows a ton of effort on defense. He kind of reminded me of a poor mans Shumpert during the summer league
Watching the Washington game and first possession I see is Udrih blowing a layup lol
Shooting 30% right now... but only down 5 so have to feel fortunate that it isn't a bigger deficit

I am a native plant nursery manager who is considering allowing someone who approached me to place their hives on my land. Generally speaking, in this type of situation, what is the standard agreement between the 2 parties regarding compensation, whether it be honey or money? Since the beekeeper approached us regarding placing their hives on our property, should he compensate the grower in some way, whether it be a percentage of honey from hives or monetarily, or should the grower compensate the beekeeper? If someone could let me know if they been in this situation, your insight would be greatly appreciated.
My opinion is that we should be getting a percentage of the honey. We did not ask this person to place his hives on the property for pollination. We haven't had hives on the property for the last 30yrs and the plants have been pollinated by native bees.

As we announced just a week ago, the "Rush Way" is growing in the Caribbean and Rush Cavaly A.S will proudly represent our club in Haiti. This Haitian partner is our second colleague in the Caribbean, since we signed Rush Bahamas recently. Rush Soccer considers that the "Caribbean has an enormous potential to grow and become a solid area to developing soccer," assets Community Outreach Manager Ben Medina.
Cavaly A.S is a historic soccer club since 1975 which plays in the Haitian National First Division. Its large accomplishments includes:
- Champion Leogane (1976)
- Champion Olympique (1988)
- Champion International Minims Guadeloupe (1990, 1991)
- National League First Division Champions (2007)
- Series Open Season Champion (2007)
Cavaly A.S has represented Haiti in the Concacaf Competitions of Clubs in 2009 and several of its former players have secured a professional contract in Europe, South-America and United States. On behalf of Rush Soccer, the organization undertakes to assist Rush Cavaly A.S to grow nationally and internationally.
"Our primary objective is to become a true professional soccer club. We have 38 years of history and we need to become a solid institution that contributes in bringing values to the city of Leogane and the rest of Haiti," assets Rush Cavaly A.S President, Yves Rebecca. "We would like to utilize soccer to change Haitian life socially and economically, along with promoting the country in the international soccer arena", adds President Yves Rebecca.
Cavaly A.S is still recovering from the earthquake suffered in 2010 that devastated the whole country. Before the catastrophe Cavaly A.S had 120 kids aged 12 to 18. Nowadays, the Haitian organization can only manage 40 kids, because most of families have been displaced since the city was destroyed. Furthermore, their stadium has been destroyed and used as refugee camp. "The situation isn't easy, but our love for the game, the kids and the city command us to keep pushing," insures President Rebecca.
This is a challenging project with a large amount of work ahead. First and foremost Rush Soccer and Cavaly A.S will collaborate to keep the kids away from violence, drugs, and delinquency. "The social aspect is really important, since we believe that athletics can enhance a child's personality, instilling a sense of purpose," assets Rush Cavaly A.S President Yves Rebecca. Other than that, Rush Soccer will assist Cavaly A.S technically, trying to provide international exposure to Haitian players. The last goal is to help Rush Cavaly A.S to set up a soccer academy to nurture and develop the kids mentally and physically, in order to perform at the highest level.
On behalf of Rush Soccer, the whole family will work jointly to provide opportunities for Haitian children.
