Dr. Sir Harold "Harry" W. Kroto, one of the co-recipients of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, now teaches at FSU. Dr. Kroto is a Francis Eppes Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Kroto gives a highly popular series of public lectures, visiting area schools to promote science education and has taught a graduate class on interstellar chemistry. He comes to FSU from the University of Sussex in England, where he taught for 37 years.
Kroto said his move to FSU allows him to "not only open up some new research avenues" but "also maintain the considerable momentum that (his research has) built up over the past 10 years in my international educational outreach work." Dr. Kroto, through the Vega Trust website, aims to create a broadcast platform for the science, engineering and technology (SET) communities, so enabling them to communicate on all aspects of their fields of expertise using the exciting new TV and Internet opportunities.
An ardent advocate for science education, Kroto devotes much of his time and energy to promoting careers in science among young people. "He'll be a very visible guy" on campus, said Alan G. Marshall, a professor of chemistry, in an interview with Chemical & Engineering News. "The plan is for him to give at least one lecture to every freshman at Florida State during their career, so they'll get a chance to see him."
Kroto's Nobel Prize was based on his co-discovery of buckminsterfullerene, a form of pure carbon better known as "buckyballs." The extraordinary molecule consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged as a spheroid, in a pattern exactly matching the stitching on soccer balls. The configuration reminded Kroto of the geodesic domes designed by the late inventor/architect Buckminster Fuller, hence the name "buckminsterfullerines."
Kroto is the second Nobelist (with J. Robert Schrieffer of the National Magnetic Field Laboratory) now serving on the FSU faculty. Others to serve at FSU were Konrad Bloch, human sciences; James Buchanan, economics; Paul Dirac, physics; and Robert Sanderson Mulliken, chemical physics.
In 2001, Kroto won the Royal Society's prestigious Michael Faraday Award. The award is given annually to a scientist who has done the most to further public communication of science, engineering or technology in the United Kingdom.
Prof. Eduard Llobet is the director of the research center in Materials Engineering and micro / nano systems (EMAS), which aims to transfer and training in the field of new materials and micro / nano systems, especially those related development of new technologies for application in the fields of sustainable chemistry, environment, health, energy and communications.
After graduating in Telecom Engineering (UPC), since 1993 he is professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili. He obtained his doctorate degree from the UPC in 1997.
Prof. Llobet has published over 163 articles in journals, he is co-author of 8 chapters of international books and has presented more than 200 contributions in international conferences.
Prof. Axel Lorke received his PhD in Experimental Physics in 1991 from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat (LMU) Munich. He worked as a PostDoc at the University of Tokyo, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the LMU Munich, where he also received his 'Habilitation'. Since the year 2000 he has been a Full Professor (C4) for Experimental Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His work focuses on the electronic and optical properties nano-structures and low-dimensional semiconductors. Starting in 2004 he has been coordinator of the Collaborative Research Centre 'Nanoparticles from the Gas Phase',funded by the German Research Foundation. He is co-founder and presently Director of the 'Center for NanoIntegration Duisburg-Essen' (CeNIDE), which represents about 35 research groups working in the nanosciences with a total of about 200 scientists.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Intimacy and Art? Wednesday, March 16th at 7pm. A Panel Discussion on the intersectionalities between Performance Art and Acts of IntimacyThe panel will consist of the two featured artists from the festival and few outside artists who explore intimacy in their work. The Zine/Minicomic I'm hoping to come from this event would be entertaining, first of all. Secondly. it would act as an orientation guide at future festivals.
Un-Idealizing Sex, A Workshop. Saturday, March 19th at 12 noon. An afternoon workshop on Sex and Sensual Touch presented by Lydia Love and Simone WolffThis workshop will have two parts to it. The first part will allow the participants to engage with the material in a non-threatening environment. There will a lunch break after which, the participants who would like to, can come back for a freer, clothing-optional exploration of the workshop concepts. The entire event will be very heads-up and consent based. The nature of this event is obviously very personal, and an artist would need feel comfortable in that kind of space. Familiarity with energy work would be a plus. The Zine/Minicomic I hope to come from this event would firstly be respectful. From there, I would like it to be approachable and fun.

Impedrezene was a narcotic that impeded one's ability by slowing down the higher brain cell functions. The drug could last for hours in Humans. It attacked neuro-cognitive motor function by suppressing higher cognitive abilities. Extreme headaches were associated with use of this drug after the effects had worn off. (VOY: "Alliances", "Investigations")
It is unclear whether the spelling of the term is impedrezene or impedrezine.

Dude, watch out - that chick has cookie nipples!
by The Cookie Monster February 16, 2006
A nipple that is just bigger in diameter than those small fuckers. They're called cookie nipples because they are usually the size of a cookie.
While comparing nipple colour at my friends Halloween party, a contest which by they way, I won, I found out that my nipples were larger than those of my friends, who exclaimed: " Cookie Nipples!!"
by Jessie of the Cookie Jar November 02, 2008
A cookie nipple is a nipple that stretches to cover a large proportion of the female (or male) mammary glands. It is, in most cases, a turn off.
A lot of overweight people have cookie nipples.

If you read nothing else this month read "Reflections on the Honey Bee Health Summit" by Randy Oliver in the August Issue of American Bee Journal. I especially liked the part subtitled "The Evolution of Beekeeping".
When Randy wrote "And then in the winter of 2004/2005 a perfect storm of poor forage, miticide failure, and the varroa/virus complex caused large-scale colony collapse." I thought that pretty much illustrated my experience going from 732 colonies in May 2004 to 100 colonies in March 2005.
"Practical Application: it appears to me that our feral population of bees is finally rebounding from its decimation due to the invasion of varroa, and that the hobby beekeepers who are keeping feral/survivor stock are the first to be taking advantage of this event (rhis is not to discount the realitively few queen producers who are also breeding survivor stock.) Could it be that we are finally seeing the tide coming back in, and that we will be able someday to go back to the "semi-wild bee in the box" model of beekeeping? I sure hope so!"

UTSA network log-in screen
UT System mandates UTSA network ID change
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer and Editor, Office of Information Technology
(July 24, 2007)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has begun a project that will bring the university into compliance with UT System policy UTS165, the information resources use and security policy. The policy is the foundation for the UTSA security policy.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
A provision of the new policy is that every UT System institution must create unique identifiers for network log-ins. The identifiers will stay with individuals for the entire time they are UT System employees. The network ID change is part of an ongoing program to increase security at UTSA.
"Many new security projects at both the UTSA and the UT System levels are underway at this time and they should lead to more protection for data and research than we have had in the past," said Annette Evans, UTSA information security officer.
A new ID will be created for all UTSA faculty and staff members. This ID will consist of a randomly generated ID consisting of three letters and three numbers such as "abc123."
The ID will be used whenever you log on to the network. Currently, most UTSA faculty and staff members enter their name (john.doe) along with a password. The new ID will be entered on the log-in screen in place of your name.
According to Bryan Wilson, UTSA executive director of enterprise services, "Although this may seem like a major change, in our testing we have found that most users will be able to make the transition to the new ID in just a few days."
For more information, visit the UTSA Information Technology Web site.

Those are both great choices, but the winner for me would be the Glock 34 by far. First, I don't like external safeties for defensive weapons, but that's a personal preference. Second, I prefer a constant trigger pull, rather than DA/SA. The trigger is better on the Glock. The G34 would be hard to beat for a HD & competition weapon.
Accessories are readily available for both of those weapons.
Having said that, there are many other great choices as well. But, I gather from your post that you've at least held and possibly shot these firearms (?), so if they both feel good to you it's ultimately up to you. Have you held/shot any other options? XD, M&P, CZ, Sig, etc?

Big Data, Connectivity Hot ISC West Topics at Keynote
A panel of industry experts discussed the impacts big data, privacy concerns, the BYOD movement, new entrants into the industry, and other trends will have on security during the keynote address at ISC West 2014.
By Scott Goldfine · April 4, 2014
Big Data, bring your own device (BYOD), new electronic security market entrants and more were hot topics during "The Great Debate 2014: Use It or Lose It!" keynote address at ISC West 2014.
A standing-room only crowd listened intently as Axis Communications' Fredrik Nilsson, Brivo's Steve Van Till and Tyco Integrated Security's Jay Hauhn discussed the onslaught of new technologies and associated issues, challenges and opportunities.
Here are some highlights from the keynote address:
Big Data — This is going to continue to grow, but with it raises the debate over privacy and striking a balance between actionable intelligence and checks and balances to avoid abuse and protect people's rights. Crowd-sourcing of video and social media will continue to play a larger role in the fabric of security.
Growth Drivers — Security leveraging data for other purposes, and demonstrating how automating tasks can achieve superior results to humans and pave the way toward realizing situational awareness.
Internet of Things — This is definitely coming on fast but it is likely to elevate vulnerability to hackers. Single simple user interfaces was cited as being critical. And there is the question of whether the security industry will seize all the opportunities this will bring or leave it to others.
New Market Entrants — The influx of telcos, cablecos and others is seen as a positive because it will raise market awareness and the competition will drive innovation. They are already here and becoming part of security's collective "us."
BYOD — This was called a slippery slope to navigate as organizations attempt to balance employees using personal devices for work and not making them too restrictive while at the same time adhering to organizational security protocols.

that discount store duct tape sucks. it won't even stick to itself.
for any of that to work your going to need quality duct tape.
don't know where your going to find 'real" duct tape--maybe some industrial supply still carry's the real thing?
25 Survival Uses For Duct Tape
If there ever was a miracle product better than spray-on-hair or the ShamWow, it is duct tape. Over the past 70 years of its existence, this staple product of fix-it-yourselfers has been used by virtually every walk of life, for jobs that Im sure the duct tape developers never imagined. So how can we use it for survival?
25 Survival Uses For Duct Tape
Here are my top 25 survival uses for duct tape, in no order whatsoever.

Something else that's even better in many respects is the shrink wrap tape that they use for shrink wrapping boats. It lasts for years on stuff even when totally exposed to the weather, duck tape,,even the good stuff wouldn't hold up any where near as long, 6-8 months tops. I've only seen it in blue and white, but have never looked for any other color,so don't know if there's more options. Try some, you can get it at places like West Marine, ect.
It's a plastic tape and that you can even shrink with a heat gun,,,just a little,, making it really tight on something, flexible and strong,different widths available and it don't leave goop or that dried on crusty shit, even after years of being on something.
Great stuff, if you love duck tape,, you'll love this even more,,,,,,,,,,
And I should know, I'm a Vermonter, ,, and you know what they say about a Vermonter being able to fix anything with duck tape!!!

I have found 3M is about the best brand in any tape I have ever bought. You pay $11-12 for each roll, but it sticks and lasts.
Trivia. How did duct tape get its name?
Down here we call it "Go Fast Tape." Many a race at the Daytona 500 would not have been won, without it..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Gorilla Glue has a line of duct tape, which sticks better than any brand of duct tape that I have ever tried. I used some side by side with the 3M, and it was no contest, the Gorilla Glue brand is WAY stickier. Now, I'm not sure how long it lasts compared to the 3M, when exposed to the elements, so.......
4th, I would "assume" it got it's name from being used on heating and cooling ducts in homes, but I'm also assuming that you're going to spring a completely different answer on me. Maybe the ductwork on aircraft back during WW2??
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
I always keep duct tape and bailing wire on hand. Useful for all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, the Gorrilla Glue brand is the best.
It was originally called "duck tape"
From wikipedia:
The first material called "duck tape" was long strips of plain cotton duck cloth used in making shoes stronger, for decoration on clothing, and for wrapping steel cables or electrical conductors to protect them from corrosion or wear.[1] For instance, in 1902, steel cables supporting the Brooklyn Bridge were first covered in linseed oil then wrapped in duck tape before being laid in place.[2] In the 1910s, certain boots and shoes used canvas duck fabric for the upper or for the insole, and duck tape was sometimes sewn in for reinforcement.[3] In 1936, the US-based Insulated Power Cables Engineers Association specified a wrapping of duck tape as one of many methods used to protect rubber-insulated power cables.[4] In 1942, Gimbel's department store offered venetian blinds that were held together with vertical strips of duck tape.[5] All of these uses were for plain cotton or linen tape that came without a layer of applied adhesive.
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference- they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. George Washington
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
George Washington
Duct tape is the quintessential multipurpose survival kit.
I keep several rolls of the good stuff on hand.
It's uses are only limited by the imagination.
while on the subject of Duct tape I have the Silver metal 3M tape that works great on alot of projects, but dose anyone know if this metal tape comes in flat black, I just have on of My ideas that I want to try and If it works I'll post it qiickly, I just need to find some black metal tape ,,,,Doc

Kewlmanne is wrong wrong wrong. Pawlenty is the worst governor in minnesota state history. He screws over every single department, cuts the shit out of educaiton (but kewlmanne probably goes to SPA or some other private school so he wont care), all in the name of "no new taxes". Not only that, but the entire government shut down for two weeks because the legislature was bickering over what to do over his shitty budget plan. Shut down pawlenty instead.
"we get paw-len-ty of shitty crap from pawlenty being governor. since when were we a republican state anyway?"

1- Pawlenty finally shuts up those dumbass democrats.

The only Pro-Israel candidate (as seen at the Ames, Iowa GOP Debate) in the 2012 GOP Presidential Race, Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (originally pronounced "Pav-lent-y") (R-MN) may even be a Cohen (given that, according to Wargs.com, one of his great-grandmothers was born as Julia Koenig; and in some cases, "Koenig" may well be a variant of "Kohein"-- given that the German "Koenig" means "King" and koheinim (priests) were the head caste in Ancient Israel).
In stark constrast to the other GOP Candidates in Ames, Iowa; Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty not only mentioned Israel directly (as did Texas Representative Ron Paul), but (unlike Ron Paul) voiced support for Israel.

All we got is most playoff appearances in NFL history, 3rd most titles in NFL history, playing in a championship game 9 out of 10 decades, only team to win SBs in 4 consecutive decades, and one of the top legacies in all of sports... Poor us.
Oh, and we earned 3 of these 4 going through SF. Twice in your house in the NFC CG.

so heat vs spurs is looking like the matchup. heat looking for back to back titles and the spurs looking for their fifth championship in the past 14 years.
so heat vs spurs is looking like the matchup. heat looking for back to back titles and the spurs looking for their fifth championship in the past 14 years.
bleacher report never works on my tablet. it never loads. what does the article say rudy? based on the link title i see it's about JR declining his player option, which is expected.
i got spurs in 6 but i wouldn't be too a surprised if the heat won. i think that the spurs are like a better version of the pacers. they have the defense, rebounding and size, but they also have a very good offense and solid bench. they can score on the inside with the bigs, mid range with parker and outside with their shooters. with that said if wade/bosh and all the role players on the heat step up along with lebron being at the top of his game, i could see the heat winning.
i used to hate the spurs, especially back when i liked the pistons... but i don't mind them now. i'd definitely prefer for them to win over the heat.
The joy of watching the Heat getting blown out tonight. The look on Spoelstra's face....priceless!
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
Tim Hardaway Jr SG/SF Michigan
Pierre Jackson PG Baylor
Glen Rice JR SF
CJ Leslie SF/PF
Tony Snell SF/G N.Mexico
Phil Pressey PG Mizzo
Those 6 worked out for the Knicks. It looks like they are interested in a scoring threat SF/G off the bench that could be a steal and/or a backup PG who could be a steal. I'd like to see Kelly Olynck and Giorgi Dieng workout for the knicks as well.
Jeff Withey C Kansas and Allen Crabbe SF/SG California also worked out for knicks.
Theres a great Glen Rice Jr. Scouting video on Youtube that I watched and really liked. Hes agressive player and makes plays on defense, as hes a solid rebounder and can block some shots as a SF , and hes great on the break on offense. Hes got some real talent, theres no doubt about it. I have a funny feeling Glen Rice Jr is gonna go in the 1st rd.
Next need is a back up PG.A Quicker penetrating Guard. Shane Larkin would of been a good fit. We could play match ups depending on the team we r up against. Unfortunately dont think its happening . 1 guy I find very interesting is Erik Green of VT a very explosive scorer.Creates a lot of offense by going to the basket and drawing fouls.Good outside shot not great but he can score and efficiently could provide Melo the help he desperately needs when JR Smith is going AWOL.
3rd is a Back up Center and this draft is loaded with them. I would love to see a trade with Cleveland for their 33,34 picks or buying are way into the 2nd round. We need to get multiple young players on this roster.
Knicks not only are contending with the HEAT but finishing in front of the PACERS and BULLS is a long shot I believe next season.
If your looking for a player to supplant Melo when hes ont the bench, i think Glen Rice Jr. is ur guys. Hes got size, extreme leaping ability, scores at will in the open flooor, can be effective spot up shooter with 3pt range, and makes plays on Defense, despite not always going 100pct on D. He can block shots and rebound.
We also worked out Jeff Withey, who would be a fantastic guy to have backing up Tyson Chandler. Hes defensive orientated and is learning on offfense. Allen Crabbe is a score first player who can take over games at any point and can play SF as well as SG.
The bottom line is we need to add multiple pieces, and this is the kinda draft you can save money by drafting multiple players that help so you can save money in FA'cy. A example would be adding both Glen Rice Jr and Jeff Withey(example), or say Pierre Jackson and Gordi Dieng...etc..etc
Another couple guards who could be nice pieces as both can play the point some and have dishing ability, as well as all around ability(goodwins outside game needs work) are Archie Goodwin and Nate Wolters. I've seen Goodwin compared to Monta Ellis by some.

The two men charged with brutally bashing and robbing a Tauranga taxi driver on Thursday were back in court this morning.
The alleged assault, in which the attackers used fists and elbows and delivered at least 15 blows, happened on Ohauiti Rd, Welcome Bay, last Wednesday.
The victim spent a night in Tauranga Hospital being treated for head injuries before being discharged.
Timote Manu, 19, and Jared Dixon, 18, face a joint charge of aggravated robbery.
They appeared before Judge Peter Rollo where Manu was refused bail and Dixon consented to a remand in custody.
Both men will reappear in court on Friday, to enable police to complete their investigation and enquiries.
Detectives have requested the public's help to identify the two other men who were in the taxi and fled after the attack.

"I don't want anybody to think that Rose-Hulman only graduates
engineers. It puts out problem solvers," Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology alumnus Wes Bolsen told a
standing-room-only crowd at Rose-Hulman Ventures as part of this
summer's James R. Baumgardt Distinguished Speaker Series.
Bolsen is among a legion of Rose-Hulman alumnus who has found
success outside of engineering. As Chief Marketing Officer of
biofuels innovator Coskata, the 2000 electrical engineering
graduate is working to solve some of the nation's energy
problems. He recently was named the top CMO in the U.S.
(among companies with revenues less than $250 million) by the CMO
Institute on www.CMO.com.
Coskata is a Chicago-based company that's on the cutting edge of
new technologies that are set to revolutionize the biofuels
"When we talk about biofuels everyone says, 'what about
batteries?'" Bolsen stated. He points out that developing and
implementing battery-powered vehicle technology across the board is
a gradual process. "Liquid fuels are going to be used for at
least the next 50 years," he added.
Coskata's hybrid gasification plus fermentation process is a
proprietary technology which involves the use of patented microbes,
specially developed to produce ethanol from a variety of biomass
feedstock. The hybrid technology allows for greater
efficiency, while the microbes enable Coskata to make fuel without
tapping into our nation's food supply.
"I don't believe in 'food or fuel', I believe in 'food and
fuel'," Bolsen explained. "We don't need more corn-based
ethanol, but we need more biofuels." His vision involves the
use of a various sources of biomass, including trash to make
fuel. Ideally, he said, these items would be sourced
locally, and processed in local facilities, eliminating the need
for transportation costs while increasing job opportunities in
rural areas.
Lowering dependence on foreign oil would enhance the U.S.'s
energy security, and influence the way the country interacts with
the rest of the world.
"Let's start shifting global politics and taking our future into
our own hands," Bolsen encouraged the student interns, faculty
members and staff.
Bolsen credited his achievements to his faith, family and
"Sometimes it's the willingness to charge forward and not let
someone tell you 'you can't'," he told the audience. His keys
for success included first replacing the term "success" with
"significance," emphasizing that's it's not those who have
the most possessions, but those who make a difference in the lives
of others who truly succeed.
Bolsen enhanced his Rose-Hulman education with a master's of
business administration degree from Stanford University.
"Knowledge matters, but people matter more," he said.
"Know what you are working and living for . . . know what matters
to you most and why . . . leave a legacy behind with people."
Bolsen added: "Rose-Hulman wasn't just an institution -
somewhere I came to get an education - it was a family."

As in many cities, Houston's equipment replacement process is far from ideal. The city has an equipment acquisition fund of $22 million for fiscal year 2006, but funding levels go up and down yearly, according to the availability of money. So monies available don't always match up with needs.
Under a revolving fund concept now being discussed by Houston public works officials, however, payments for new equipment would be stabilized from year to year. "The goal is to roll up fleet replacement into a central fund for the entire department," said Carl Bowker, Houston's assistant director of public works and engineering.
In the quest for improved equipment funding processes, it is useful to consider Houston's revolving fund concept. This article also looks at equipment funding challenges and solutions in Westminster, Colo.; Alexandria, Va.; Roanoke, Va.; and Bismarck, N.D.
With Houston public works' contemplated equipment fund, "The public works and engineering's operating divisions would pay 'rental' that would cover expenses, depreciation, and inflation for each piece of equipment," said Bowker. "Once you build this huge revolving fund, the money is already there. There are economies of scale, and we would work closely with the operating groups on funding it. You want the operating groups to have flat funding payments from year to year." Bowker and his staff maintain some 4200 pieces of rolling stock for 14 departments and agencies.
Bowker said the vision calls for a fully funded self-perpetuating vehicle and equipment fund, requiring no new appropriations, specifically for the replacement and maintenance of the public works and engineering fleet. The goal is to create a simplified method that links the vehicles and equipment required with the annual work programs of the divisions. What's more, such a fund would reduce the number of vehicles and equipment—and age of the department's fleet—and cut the cost to maintain and operate it.
Creating such a fund would involve challenges, not the least of which is to educate operating division officials. They would want to know why new "rental" payments are needed for a piece of equipment that is already paid for. "The education part is that you're paying for the next one," said Bowker.
The operating groups would be charged back for the units they use on an annual basis. Units not used daily are pooled and rented out on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Units that the operating divisions no longer require due to a reduction in the annual work program would be returned to the pool. The units would be offered for annual rental to other operating divisions for permanent rental. Under-used units would be sold at auction.
Justifying the Cost
As part of the annual budget process, operating divisions would be required to justify additions to the fleet; these would have to be approved by the city council or governing body of the municipal body or agency along with the initial funding to purchase these units. Replacements would occur automatically based on the schedule set by the fleet branch.
Another challenge is to fund the existing accumulated depreciation. If, for example, a city has assets originally worth $200 million, and the assets have depreciated by 50%, then accumulated depreciation is $100 million. That amount has to be deposited in the new revolving fund to pay for equipment when replacement time comes.
"You could start out small and write a check for $10 million, then grow that money over time," said Bowker. "You have to come up with the seed money, and it could come out of a city's acquisition fund, or it could come from commercial paper. Those decisions have to be made by the city administration and the director."

Overall view of the 'Giant' and boy's armours. (II.22 & II.126)
Overall view of the 'Giant' and boy's armours. (II.22 & II.126)
'The Horse Armoury in the Tower' by Thomas Rowlandson , engraving published 1 January 1800 by Rudolf Ackermann, 101 Strand © Royal Armouries 2013
Greenwich armour for field and tournament. (II.40)
A page from a letter from Samuel Molyneux, 1712 © Southampton City Council
Armour for Field and Tournament. English, Greenwich, about 1590 (II.40)
The Foreigner's Guide devoted several pages to a description of the sights to be seen at the Tower of London. It described the Menagerie and Mint, the Jewel House, Horse Armoury, Small Armoury and Grand Storehouse. The emphasis for sightseers at this time was to see these attractions, rather than to look at the architecture of the Tower itself.
The various attractions each had an individual admission charge, and there was also a gratuity to be given to the Warder who accompanied you and your party while you were onsite. The Guide is written in both English and French to meet the needs of foreign tourists as well as British ones.
The description of the 'Horse Armory' includes a reference to an armour which was then said to have belonged to John of Gaunt. This armour, II.22, is still in Royal Armouries collection and on show at the Tower of London, but is now known to have been made in about 1535. Similarly the armour of 'William the Conqueror' can be identified with an armour, II.40, which was actually made in about 1590!
'La Sale des Cuirassiers. Ici se trouve les Statues curieuses de quinze de nos Rois, qui ont regné depuis Guillaume le Conquerant, en riches Cuirasses, & Accompagnés de leurs Gardes; avec la belle Cuirasse de Jean de Gaunt, 4me Fils d'Edouard III. Ici on paye trois Sous'. 'The Horse Armory. Here are seen the curious Figures on Horseback of our fifteen Kings, since William the Conqueror, all mounted in rich Armour, accompanied by their Guards, with the curious Suit of Armour of John of Gaunt, fourth son of Edward III. Here you pay three Pence'.

Town Square
Why we should question raising kids here....
Original post made by The Reverend, Danville, on Apr 15, 2012
On my route home, there's a man that stands on the corner and sells strawberries. Nice man. Clean, respectful, even keeps his items for sale stacked nicely. I've actually stopped and purchased some. They're from a local farm; Man are they tasty. Ten times better than Safeway, at 1/4 the price.
So today... ya.. THREE, count the, THREE, police cars there. Hassling the guy. Neighbor out of his house, with one of the cops talking from a distance. The guy selling the strawberries is pleading his case to the Policeman, which is TOWERING over him in a physically controlling manner. Which I can understand, as strawberries can be SERIOUSLY dangerous. Imagine if that guy got to the berries before the 3 cops with 9mm's, and 3 shotguns. It could be a berry bath. As I approached the stop sign, it seems they are waiting for a 4th car to take the man (selling the DEADLY BERRIES) to jail. THIS is what you want our police doing? This is what you want to raise you children around? Are we SO sterile that someone selling berries on the corner should be removed by the police? I like strawberries. And his are better!!! What if that was a 12 year old danville kid, would it be a problem? Oh wait, it's the lack of permit, the man did not have one I bet? Right... unlike the Girl Scouts that VIOLATE EVERY CHILD LABOR LAW KNOWN TO MAN, but they're cute... I get it, my bad...
BTW -- I live across from a park, to which I have watched kid after kid after kid purchase drugs in cars night after night. I've called the police a dozen times. Is there a cop car sitting on my street at night? NOPER... but GOD DAMN THOSE STRAWBERRIES!!!! NOW we'll teach em!!!.. This is NOT a rant against the police. Someone CALLED them. Clearly!!! SOMEONE CALLED THE COPS TO STOP THE DANGEROUS SALE OF BERRIES!!!!.. Drugs sold from a danville resident under cover of night is ok, and or not really happening, cause your little ones that live HERE don't do drugs.
This is Danville. And I live here. And love it here, for the most part.. but this is NOT NOT NOT how you should raise your kids. These are bad lessons that will cause the issues later Danville. You know why? You're not wealthy enough to help them be this way. If you where you wouldn't live here. So my proof is, you live here.. So GROW UP!! Teach your children to be accepting....
With love Danville.

"Reverend": If these are the same guys that have been selling strawberries and other fruits near the entrance to Sycamore, I am glad that the police finally told them to move their produce stand. I live near by, and this is a residential neighborhood, with alot of children who ride their bikes, and these guys actually go into traffic and are aggressive in trying to sell their produce, creating a dangerous intersection. If they want to sell their produce, go to the farmers market on Saturday, and follow the rules and regulations that everyone else has to follow, and do not just take over a residential neighborhood, without following the ordinances and regulations that apply to everyone else.
If the police ignore these guys, whats to stop other "merchants" from taking over our residential neighborhood and selling t-shirts, watches, and other unregulated items. By the way, one of the reasons we regulate selling of produce is so health inspectors can moniter the product, and make sure there are not illegal pesticides and fruit flies coming into our neighborhood. These gypsy produce guys follow no regulations or rules, just set up tent in our neighborhood, and who knows what pesticides or fruit flies they are dumping on our town. They also do not pay taxes or fees, which is unfair to their competitors who run legitimate farms and follow rules and regulations.
Danville also has an increase of car thefts and other property crimes, and I have noticed an increase of peddlers and other strangers going thru the neighborhood allegedly trying to sell things, while possibly just casing the neighborhood. The best way to prevent this type of crime is having neighbors call and report suspicious people who do not live in the neighborhood.
So, to answer your question, this is EXACTLY why we choose to raise our children in Danville, because the town and the police teach our children that everone has to play by the rules and regulations that serve to protect us, and they do not turn the other way and ignore violations to our communities health and safety. Thank you, Danville police, for enforcing the laws.
Reverend, if you want delicious, fresh, clean, and fruit fly free produce, I suggest you check out the legal and regulated Farmers Market downtown on Saturday. These merchants are following the law and should be rewareded for that, unlike the gypsy produce guys that illegally set up tent and think the laws do not apply to them.

Indeed, we are beyond the days of peddling the fruits of our labors (pardon the pun - I could not resist) sans the ever necessary permits. As much as it seems harmless, if there are vendors who abide by the rules and purchase the permit to sell at Farmer's Market, should we reward those who set up shop without following the rules? Isn't this unfair to those who do?
As much as I want to stand up for the guys who take the initiative to sell on the corner (I've driven by them several times, and have seen the police talking to them also) my gut tells me that the money they receive likely goes to someone else - maybe the person who dropped them there much like the folks selling magazines who I can't seem to get off my porch.

The park that I know of is the one off Sycamore and Greenbrook, near the tennis courts and smaller club house. Many residents have seen late night deals there. I only ever see Danville Police there with radar guns during the day.

Danville Parent - those are most certainly NOT radar guns you're seeing. Those are undercover, highly sensitive "sniffer" guns that can detect minute amounts of ganja. There is a clandestine operation going on there, called "Operation NOMOWEED" which is internally classified. So contrary to your belief, the Danville PD (including the motorbike brigade, canine corps, helicopter squad, and even the boat patrol at Oak Hill park are involved, either directly or indirectly. Rest assured - Danville PD is ON THE CASE!

Here is a news flash. My daughter went to a rave with a couple of her girlfriends. They are all 17 years old. While there they met a young man and his friends. The girls thought the young men "interesting" in a way only known to another young girl. The young men ended up selling my daughter and her friends some drug called "X". The drug was supposed to make the girls enjoy the Rave event, or so the young men claimed. Apparently the facts all go awry at this point. But the gist of the rest of this story is this; the young men molested the girls and gave my daughter so much "X" that she went into a coma for 12 days. The leader of that rabid pack of young men was named Mike or Mark Patty. He apparently changed his name as the need arose throughout the night of the Rave. My daughter is awake now, but something changed in her head. She is "different" now. Scared of everything and easily brought to anger. When I reported this young man to the police, I was told that the young man, his father and some associates are under investigation for drug trafficking and some conspiracy crimes and that I was to allow them to do thier job and leave the "Walnut Creek Patty's" alone. It has been weeks now. I understand this Mike Patty is still out in society and still dealing his drugs to underage kids in the local schools. Where are the Police when something as horrific as this happens? I suppose they are also chasing down criminal strawberry dealers because they sure haven't arrested this family of drug dealers!

I know Mike Patty. No way he molested that girl. Sure he sells Meth and pot and X and sometimes herion. But he is not the kind of dealer that rapes his customers. Mike likes cash. He dont like rapists. He only sell best drugs he get from hes mom&dad. I dont beleve he raped that girl. You a lair.

Thank you for your kind answer.

Hmmm, well you have a few choices as to how to analyze these data. One
is simply to convert to difference scores (post - pre) and do a
two-sample t-test comparing the flush and non-flush group. This uses
the subjects as their own controls.
There is an equivalent linear mixed model (depending on how you
estimate the model it will be exactly equivalent, or just close). Wit
the data laid out long, use -xtmixed- you'd use a subject indicator
and flush as a fixed effects predictor.
You could also decide to use an ANCOVA approach. Reshape wide and use
the pre as a regressor along with the intervention.
It's not 100% clear which is the right thing to do. A lot depends on
how correlated pre and post are likely to be for the controls.

Dear statalist members,
We have done a simple pilot study where we measure the number of bacteria on
the tip of a bronchoscope two times on the same 20 subjects. Half of these
subjects have received an intervention to reduce the number of bacteria. So
in a long dataset with 40 observations I have the following variables
Idnr - subject ID
meas - binary variable indicating first (=1) or second (=2) measurement
flush - binary variable whether the subject have received (=1) or not (=0)
the intervention
bal - measurement of bacterial load
What I would like to do, is to test whether the difference between
measurement 1 and measurement 2 is depending on whether they have received
the intervention. I've tried various ANOVA syntaxes, but my limited
knowledge won't quite get me there.
Probably this reveals my incompetence, but nevertheless I hope for an answer
that is understandable for a non-statisician.
Best wishes,

Hello everybody,
Im probably crazy but I want to start collecting 2" squares to someday make a postage stamp quilt. I think that is what you call it.
If anybody wants to swap squares let me know. Im thinking maybe just swap one on one, maybe 50 different squares or however many you want to swap. If anybody is interested in swapping please pm me with your address and how many squares you want to swap.

No need to look for other causes, just look in the upper right
hand corner of your post. TX and TN are very different. We often
get late winter rain followed by sub-freezing
temps. Wet bees + freeze = dead bees.
Pour enough rain on the top you described and it will leak.
So do we. Don't mistake hot summers for mild winters in north Texas. November up through April ice storms are very common here. Single digits aren't unheard of, but aren't common. Teens and twenties are common. 16 days without getting above freezing in 1980.
My tops are plywood without a rim. If you add strips around your tops, that makes a dam that then feeds into the hole.
Turn down the AC and revive the memories ;)

if the feeder lid get properly glued in place, then very little water problems occur. most time when problems arise (for me) it is when a bottle gets blown off the top. I would also suggest that the net effect on a hive with a leaking top cover of snow is not the same as ice.
I cut holes with a holesaw in my tops that fits a wide mouth mason jar. I can buy half-gallon mason jars locally, which make great feeders ( you can check them at a distance). Since the holesaw leaves a circular cutout piece, I just nail it to a scrap board that is larger than the hole. This makes a lid or cover for the hole that will not blow away. The bees will readily propolize the 1/8" internal gap which makes a good seal.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Pwn Toney, Feb 26, 2009.
Isn't that blaming Joe D?
He wants to apologize?
How long would it take to build around Bosh/other ? Toronto has been doing it for years. What's the guaranty this new team could get out of the 1st round. Loc
I feel like this is a little near-sighted. Didn't we get Ben, Sheed, Chauncey, Rip, Dice, Mike James, and Memo by Joe taking low-risk calculated gambles with unproven or "question mark" players (Sheed attitude, Dice knees)? I'm all for him trying to continue to do this. If we can get a marquee-type player for a good price, by all means. But ignoring his successes while criticizing moves that didn't pan out is ridiculous. He's following the same strategy that got us a championship several times. Look for character, complementary pieces, and value. And let's call a spade a spade. "Rebuilding" is corporate double-speak that teams pull out when they suck so bad they don't have any other way to get fans to buy season tickets.
You don't rebuild to get out of the first round. Usually, when a team rebuilds it means they build a championship caliber team over the course of a few years. And last time I checked Toronto wasn't Deeeetroit Baaaaaasketbaaaalll!
What "several" championships are you referring to? FYI, every player you mention was picked up YEARS ago as in more than 4. Take a look at the moves Joe has made SINCE the 'ship. Not too impressive. You wanna call a spade a spade? Joe hasn't made 1 single move since 2004 that has gotten us anywhere near another ship. Who's hiring these coaches? Who's putting the product on the floor? One more thing, "rebuilding" may be corp. double speak but it's also something a team does when the thing they've been doing for any number of years successfully is no longer working so they have to take a new approach which usually means scraping their roster and starting over. If you disagree you are probably one of those "we're only one player away" types. Not gonna happen. We're easily 2-3 players away from competing with Boston or Cleveland seriously again.
I was thinking the same thing. What a bizarre turnaround and I feel more than slightly embarrassed for the Commissioner's office. This is a bad sign, right along with their new loan policy.
In 2003/2004 noone thought we were going to win a championship either. It's hard to say whether one key acquisition will do it or whether we will struggle before we find players good enough. Most teams win by making key acquisitions until they are good enough to win. Sometimes those acquisitions happen very quickly (see Boston), but most teams are always trying to get better. The way most people on here talk about rebuilding, it sounds like they think we should be throwing our players in the trash just for the sake of getting new players. Thats why I dislike this call for "rebuilding." Rebuilding is a myth. Teams are almost always trying to upgrade their talent to replace players that leave in free agency or retirement, or simply if they see a competitive or financial advantage in doing so. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't. When they don't, people say they are "rebuilding" . It's just a nice way of saying, "Sorry we SUCK. We'll be better soon, we promise!" And by "several", I meant that I think Joe D is following the same philosophy the Pistons have had for years that got them their other recent championships (while Dumars was playing). Make key acquisitions when you can (if they will make you better). Look for bargains.
No doubt... I was still fuming over that shot for a few days. I try not to take any one regular season loss too hard, but that was one of the most painful in a long time, especially with the uneventful ending to the game.
I feel so good hearing everything that some truly agrees with me thats lets not to much point our fingers too AI,sheed, Curry.. PARTLY JOE d is partly to be blame.. He has never ever done anything sinced 2004.. its like 5 years and he never done anything big exept for scratchinnnnn his *&^ss shame on you JOE
I hear ya. I guess what I was trying to say is that I don;t feel that what Joe's been doing these past few years has worked out for them. I don't think he has drafted very well (with the exception being Prince and maybe Stuckey but we'll see) and I'm not a big fan of his moves in FA either. Maybe what I'm trying to say is if anyone needs to step it up it's Joey D. Hey Joe, stop slippin' in yo pimpin'!
Fair enough. But I'll still say this: in Joe I trust.
What JD did do was sign guys to contracts that the Org. could deal with. No one got over $15M per. If any of the signings had put us over the cap, the core would've rotted out after '06. Go to Work.

Feds assist C. Oregon homeless veterans
HUD, VA provide vouchers, grant funding
REDMOND, Ore. - Housing Works, the leading affordable housing provider serving the tri-county Central Oregon region, said Friday it has secured an additional 15 federally funded vouchers to aid homeless veterans obtain quality housing.
"These vouchers will improve lives in the most fundamental way – providing safe, clean, permanent, affordable housing for homeless veterans," said Kenny LaPoint, Housing & Resident Services Director for Housing Works.
"Often these vouchers assist entire families. Veterans have given us so much through their service and it's an honor to be able to return the favor. We want these servicemen and women and their dependents to recover the dignity of having a place to call home."
The VASH vouchers, which can be redeemed on a monthly basis for rent by those who qualify, are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered by Housing Works.
Housing Works has a long record of success in advocating for state and federal legislative action to address rural Oregon's housing needs.
In 2011 and 2012, collaboration between Housing Works, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach and Rep. Greg Walden resulted in the awarding of 50 VASH Vouchers for Central Oregon, for example.
The successful implementation of the first round of VASH Vouchers resulted in an additional 10 Vouchers for Central Oregon in 2012.
LaPoint estimates that these vouchers will help more than 200 individuals gain homes and get off the streets. He attributes the awarding of the additional vouchers to the effective collaboration that the region's social service organizations have established over the years.
Said LaPoint, "Housing Works, working with the Veterans Administration, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, ICON City, and private donors, was also able to provide move-in assistance and household furnishings to help meet some basic needs for veterans entering the housing program."
Meanwhile, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced Thursdsay the award of more than $3 million in homeless prevention grants to several Oregon and southwest Washington counties.
The grants will serve approximately 670 homeless and at-risk Veteran families as part of the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program.
In the Portland VA Medical Center service area, these grants will serve Veterans and their families associated with five of the total 319 community agencies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
These agencies include: St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County located in Eugene, Community Action Team out of St. Helens, Easter Seals of Oregon in Portland, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach in Bend (which is receiving $300,000), and Transition Projects in Portland.
"With these grants, we are strengthening our partnership with community non-profits across the country to provide Veterans and their families with hope, a home, and a future," said Shinseki. "The work of Supportive Services for Veteran Families program grantees has already helped us prevent and end homelessness among tens of thousands of homeless Veterans and their families, but as long as a single Veteran lives on our streets, we have work to do."
Under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, VA is awarding grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives that provide services to very low-income Veteran families living in -- or transitioning to -- permanent housing.
Those community organizations provide a range of services that promote housing stability among eligible very low income veteran families.
Thanks to the SSVF grants, those community organizations will provide a range of services that promote housing stability and play a key role in connecting Veterans and their family members to VA services such as mental health care and other benefits.
Community-based groups can offer temporary financial assistance on behalf of Veterans for rent payments, utility payments, security deposits and moving costs.
This is the program's third year. Last year, VA provided about $100 million to assist approximately 50,000 Veterans and family members.
In 2009, President Obama and Secretary Shinseki announced the federal government's goal to end Veteran homelessness in 2015. The grants are intended to help accomplish that goal. According to the 2012 Point-in-Time Estimates of Homelessness, homelessness among Veterans has declined 17.2 percent since 2009.
Through the homeless Veterans initiative, VA committed over $1 billion in fiscal year 2013 to strengthen programs that prevent and end homelessness among Veterans. VA provides a range of services to homeless Veterans, including health care, housing, job training, and education.
More information about VA's homeless programs is available at www.va.gov/homeless. Details about the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program are online at www.va.gov/homeless/ssvf.asp. Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, and their family members and friends can call VA's National Homeless Veterans Call Center at 1-877-4AID-VET.

Great apartment, really good location in Barcelona. Communication was great, everything went without any problems. Can recommend it!!
Good location, clean apartment, great service!
Lovely stay, helpful staff/owners, good location, great appartment. The boiler had broken when we arrived, but the owner came and fixed it that evening.
We had a great holiday.
My friend and I booked via Wimdu for the first time. I was more optimistic about the experience that she was. However we had jointly agreed to stay at the Sagrada Familia Apartment. Firstly it is superbly located 2 blocks for the iconic landmark. Ironically despite the 1000's of visitors at the Basilica each day, 2 blocks away it feels local and peaceful (although the bars below can make a little noise if you are an early to bed person. It feels very special to be able to see glimpses of this UNESCO marvel from the apartment as well as walk past it each day. The Metro stop is also 1-2 blocks away, making it easy to get in and out of the city suburbs that have other sites and places of interest (L5 - blue line). Re getting the keys, it is a pain having to call from the airport and arrange for someone to meet you at a particular time, when other airbnb type sites have key boxes so you can arrive more freely. Plan 2 hours from landing to arriving in the city if you go by train certainly.
Martin -our key man was very nice and helpful. It would help nevertheless if WIMDU actually had the correct address. There are 2 building on 436 Career De Mallorca. This particular one is 436 B (opposite Santander bank). As a result meeting out key exchange was a mix up. However all was well after that first hiccup. The apartment is not as big as the photos, nor is it as modern or appealing. We both found it very average. The kitchen is tiny and poorly equipped we felt.. The bathroom not much bigger. There is a double bed, 1 tiny cupboard single room and a pull down single in the office.
It is ideal for 2 people regarding places to put suitcases etc but not inviting enough for you to want to chill on the couch and relax. Saying that we knew we would be out most of the time but that is besides the point.
You pay approx 40 euros for cleaning. I am not sure who gets that money but we found it quite unclean, needing to wipe surfaces and clean crockery first before use.
The little lift is super handy nestled in the hollow of the stair case i- which is old and atmospheric. Also this is the only rented apartment in the building so there is no party noise elsewhere.
The shower pressure is OK. NB. you are only given 1 toilet roll so be prepared! There are no bathroom toiletries except a half empty cheap hand soap dispenser. It felt tacky.
Overall the apartment is quirky in so much it is in an old quarter and is typical of this part of the city. There is a lovely bakery next to the building and cute little bars down below and up towards the Sagrada on the left (after Santander) on Carrer De Mallorca.
Sadly the beds are dreadful as are the pillows. Despite street noise, our inability to sleep was based on poor quality mattresses and flimsy pillows. A real shame.
The little balcony off the double bedroom is nice to enjoy with a night cap or morning cuppa, especially as you can see the Sagrada Familia so closely.
For convenience to the SF Basilica and the Metro, it is well positioned. For quality I am sure you can find better for the money (although maybe not so close to such a world icon as this!?)
1. Excellent Location. Near to Metro stop and airport Bus stop
2. No issues with the apartment except the late check-in fee and high cleaning fees.
3. Wifi was good and never faced any connection issue.
We had a nice time in this Apartment, no problems with oxis! We would recommend this Apartment!
We really liked the apartment. It was clean, cosy and close to the metro station. The agency was very responsive and we arrange everything we wanted to.
A very Nico situated appartment close to city centre of Barcelona - walking distance. Can equip max 5 persons, so for families very nice. Balcony on 5th floor with streetviews, good for morning breakfasts and evening wine. Appartment has two nice bathrooms, quality overall is well. One recommendation: equip each bedroom with a fan - now only 2 available.
We were a group of nine people who stayed in the apartment. It was spacious and clean with a comfy terrace only part of the furniture is a little sleazy. It is located very good with a metro station and bus stop for the airport bus right around the corner. Also there are a lot of nice bars and restaurants in the area and a supermarket just the other side of the street.
The appartment's location is great, as well as it's furniture. We were a Group of five travellers and had plenty of space, because of the two bathrooms. It would have been even better if the appartment had an Air-Conditioner. All in all it was a great stay.

Susana emailed her friends from home. "Which dish should I teach?" One of her friends emailed her back: "You're going to teach cooking?" Another: "Good luck." And a third: "You're going to need more than luck." In Costa Rica, Susana's 12-hour days as an industrial engineer led her to hire a beloved family helper, Mari, to do the cooking. Now, with Susana's visa preventing her from working, she is relishing in her time at home, which she describes as a gift. She is spending more time with her kids and — little do her friends from home know — becoming a better cook.
"We're going to cook some arroz con pollo," she says, "which is rice with chicken, very traditional Costa Rican food. When you have parties with a lot of people, that's the main thing." Growing up, no one ever taught her to cook this dish. Susana's mother left her family when she was six. It's a long story, but the short of it is: her mother got married and had kids too young. She eventually had to leave to find herself, and true love, in America. At home, Susana's father cooked simple foods for the family like fried chicken, beans, and a lot of rice with vegetables in the rice cooker, a trick his daughter uses in making arroz con pollo today.
She sautées finely diced red bell pepper, celery, and onion right in the bottom of the rice-cooker pot in a little oil and butter. When the vegetables are soft, she adds parboiled rice, and stirs so all the grains are coated in flavored oil. "So here's the thing with the amount of water," she explains. "I have heard you should use double, and all kinds of combinations. But what my father told me, what I needed is this part of my thumb." She sticks her thumb vertically about three-quarters of an inch deep into the water covering the rice. The watermark reaches her fist knuckle.
As the rice cooks, Susana's fingers pull the meat of three boiled chicken breasts into thin strips. Then in a large pot on the stove she sautées more finely diced red pepper, celery, and onion in oil. To this she adds achiote, a ground red seed that turns the contents of the pot a tantalizing orange-red. Next, she adds a condiment called Salsa Lizano, which tastes like a cross between barbecue sauce and Spicy V8. Then she mixes all together in the large pot: the pulled chicken, the cooked rice, and two cans of corn, peas, and carrots. "Don't stir too much or it will turn like dough," she warns. The flecks of color from the different vegetables make the dish look perfect for a party. Arroz con pollo is served with fried yellow plantains, potato chips, black bean dip, and fresh green salad.
