|Prep time:
1 hour, 30 minutes
Earthy spices combined with cooling yogurt make this Indian classic popular.
Prick the flesh of the chicken all over with a fork. Then, using a sharp knife, cut slashes in the flesh to allow the marinade to penetrate. Place the chicken in a nonreactive large, shallow dish.In a non-reactive bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar, garlic, ginger, cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, paprika, tumeric, cardamom, cloves, black pepper and salt. Mix well then pour the mixture over the chicken and rub it into the flesh, turning the chicken several times. Place chicken and marinade in a plastic bag and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Remove the chicken from the marinade, pressing lightly to extract excess marinade, and brush with oil. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan, brush with oil, and cook, turning once, 25 to 30 minutes until the juices run clear when a piece is pierced near the bone with a knife. Serve with sprigs of cilantro and slices of cucumber, red onion, tomato, on a bed of chopped lettuce or rice pilaf. Great for grilling too!

I go to this clinic and see Dr Keith. He is so nice and he takes his time with me and answers Moms questions. I had bladder stones and he removed them. Boy did I feel better after that. I saw Dr Jo one time and she was nice too. My sister Angel goes there too and she likes it. It is very clean and friendly. There are several REALLY nice doctors there. Angel is 83 lbs so mom has them clip her nails. They do a great job. If your looking for a place to go I would say this is it. Dr Keith is the best!

AG Edwards Cut Euronet Worldwide to Hold
AG Edwards downgraded Euronet Worldwide (EEFT) to hold from buy, citing valuation.
Analyst Timothy Willi believes Euronet Worldwide is capable of generating earnings per share (EPS) growth of 25% over the next several years. He thinks its ATM outsourcing business will continue to see strong growth in Asia, India, Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, he believes its pre-paid business should see accelerating growth over the next 24 months as U.S. and German top-up markets accelerate. While the affinity for long term fundamentals remains intact, he thinks upside from last night's closing stock price is modest, and he prefers to wait for a more attractive entry point.

Deb Babcock: Protect your home from wildfires
April 22, 2012
At a glance
Help protect your home from wildfire by considering these factors when planning landscaping near your home:
■ Plants near your home should be more widely spaced and lower growing than those farther away.
■ Avoid large masses of plants. Instead, plant in small, irregular clusters or islands.
■ Use rock, gravel and stepping stone pathways to break up the continuity of vegetation.
■ Install a diversity of plant species for better health of your plants.
■ Use mulches to conserve moisture and reduce weeds.
■ Mow grasses close to your home to a maximum of 8 inches or consider ground cover plants instead of grass.
■ Eliminate fire ladders that form a continuous fuel supply from the ground up into a tree.
■ Regularly clean up leaves and plant litter.
■ Prune vegetation near the house to less than 18 inches high.
■ Thin the crowns of clustered trees and those that overhang your roof.
Recent restrictions on agricultural burns in the Yampa Valley have a lot of us thinking about the potentially hazardous season ahead of us because lack of moisture from this winter's low amount of snowfall. If your home is surrounded by lots of flammable vegetation, take steps to mitigate fire damage.
Two primary factors determine your home's ability to survive a wildfire: your roofing material and the quality of the defensible space surrounding it.
Your roof should be made of fire-resistant or noncombustible materials such as Class A asphalt shingles, slate or clay tile, metal, cement and concrete products, or terra-cotta tiles.
The defensible space surrounding your home is categorized in three zones. Zone 1 refers to the space 30 feet around your home, Zone 2 typically extends 75 to 125 feet out, and Zone 3 extends beyond that to your property line.
Zone 1 should be your most well-irrigated area and contain plants with low flammability. This area also should provide enough space for fire-fighting equipment in case of an emergency. Grasses in Zone 1 should be mowed to at least 8 inches as they ignite easily and burn rapidly. As an alternative to grass, consider ground cover plants. They break up the monotony of grass while enhancing the beauty of your landscape. Good ground cover choices for the Steamboat Springs area include wooly yarrow, rosy pussytoes, basket of gold, snow-in-summer, thyme, sedums and myrtle.
For a soft, natural look to your landscaping, consider widely separated patches of wildflowers. Some excellent choices for our mountain community include columbine, purple coneflower, blanket flower, scarlet gilia, native beebalm, potentilla and golden banner.
Zone 2 plantings also should contain low-flammability plants, and some irrigation should extend into this zone. Zone 3 plants should contain widely spaced trees with low-flammability shrubs and vegetation that is pruned and cleaned up regularly.
A plant's moisture content determines how fiercely it will burn. The exception is conifers which tend to be flammable because of their oil and pitch content, regardless of water content. The oils in oak brush and sagebrush also burn readily.
Shrubs concern firefighters because of the woody material in their stems and branches. They are a "ladder fuel" meaning they can help a relatively easy-to-control ground fire leap into tree crowns. Crown fires are very hard, sometimes impossible, to control. To reduce the fire-spreading potential of shrubs, plant widely separated, low-growing, nonresinous varieties in your defensible area. Good shrubs to consider include kinnikinnick, red twig dogwood, mountain mahogany, lilac, shrubby cinquefoil and snowberry.
If your yard receives enough moisture to grow them, plant deciduous trees such as aspen or cottonwood. They generally do not burn well, even when planted in clumps. Be sure to remove dead leaves each fall as they can be a fire hazard. As trees grow, prune branches to a height of 10 feet above the ground. Other fire-wise trees that grow in Routt County include Wasatch maple, green ash and peachleaf willow.
Under the current restrictions, campfires and smoking outdoors are banned except in developed recreation sites or where there is at least a 3-foot circle of barren or cleared ground. There also are restrictions on the operation of equipment such as chain saws and welding torches. Please help keep our valley safe by being careful with fire and following the restrictions put in place by the county.

Agree? Disagree? Think we've missed something? Let us know...
As it turned out, there were factors counting against Forza 2 that, for all its 300 cars, 12 tracks, 47 different track routes, and the masses and masses of customisation available, meant that Forza 2 had to go on the list. The first is that several members of the team have raced real sports cars on real tracks and can only manage a wistful look of disbelief when Forza 2 is described as 'realistic', and the second? Oh, you're gonna hate me for this: it just doesn't feel that fast. Sure it's gorgeous, full of technical detail and challenging physics, but when I play a racing game I want to feel like I'm split-seconds away from a fiery mid-air death, and Forza 2 just doesn't create that impression of velocity.
Don't get us wrong, it's the best looking Zelda game yet, and the addition of horseback combat and the wolf levels do bring something new to the game, it simply isn't enough. Zelda games have always been about that sense of anticipation as you explore dungeons, that feel of discovering a new cave or wandering into a new forest. It's a feeling that was perfected in Ocarina of Time, and merely allowed to stand in Twilight Princess. If this is your first Zelda game you'll love it for what it is - a lengthy, engaging adventure. If you've played previous-gen Zeldas, however, you've got a right to expect that your latest £40 game on your new £150 console will do more than just feel like a polished version of the game you played several years before.
GTA IV is grim and gritty, a game in which the 'light relief' characters are a compulsive gambler and a leathery skinned muscleboy who swings between just barely staying in the closet to bursts of murderous 'roid rage. In place of the old manic base jumping and stunt flying that got your blood pumping you get emails from your mother and tedious mini-games played to make people like you. It might as well be renamed "Freshers' Week Simulator". GTA IV is rightly adored for its brilliant gameplay and involving characters, but it lacks the manic feel of its predecessors and surely doesn't deserve its spot as Metacritic's most highly rated game.
While the first Halo brought us wide open spaces, clever AI and a sense of humanity on the brink of annihilation, and the second one gave a sense of the scale and complexity of the forces arrayed against us, what did Halo 3 offer? Wide open spaces. Been there in Halo. A disappointing ending? Been there in Halo and Halo 2. Co-op and the Forge were the only strikingly new additions to the game, and while we enjoyed both, the addition of an extra player and the ability to build your own maps are bolt-ons to the central gameplay rather than developments of it. Worse still, there are not one but two interminable slogs through the Flood infested city of High Charity, both as tedious and shotgun reliant as Halo's infamous 'Library' but substituting the oppressive, doom-laden atmosphere which made that level tolerable for a bewildering layout and an avalanche of cartoon monsters. We love the Halo series, but adding little that's new whilst repeating old mistakes makes us question the high scores Halo 3 has received.
Except for all its cynical 'realism', for all its insistence on airport massacres and nipples wired to car batteries by the SAS, Modern Warfare's desperate desire to seem authentic can't compete with its desire to be big and bombastic. It's a game that tries to excuse its worst excesses by claiming "this is how the world is" while simultaneously nuking the eastern United States and having the player machine gun his way through the White House. Not for Modern Warfare the frozen starvation of Stalingrad, the hot, dusty siege of Tobruk or the inch-by-inch reclamation of Western Europe.
Freed from the constraint of conforming to history, Modern Warfare is a game with a few too many crescendos, a few too many twists. Every time you think you've found the right mindset to approach the game with, it shifts gears again, preventing you from ever becoming truly immersed.
Of course, you do get the customary Kojima cutscenes, those epic mixtures of stock footage and embarrassing, unwieldy dialogue. It's all very beautiful and polished, and never makes a technical mis-step, but if Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 3 are the vital instalments of the series, then Metal Gear Solid 4 stands alongside Sons of Liberty as a disappointment, a game that feels like it should have been a momentous step in the series but, in fact, turns out to be less than the sum of its parts.
But throw a few extra pixels at it and everyone forgets the old maxim the 'graphics don't make the game' and gives it a score of 91%. You know what's really irritating about that? The real sand-in-your-swimming-trunks aspect of that score? In Metacritic's PS3 rankings this triumph of adequacy has outscored the likes of Fallout 3 and The Orange Box! We'd laugh, if we weren't so busy stabbing ourselves in the thigh with a salad fork.
Perhaps the rest of the game can compensate? Alas, no. The inventory and upgrade system is both complex and vaguely explained, planetary exploration consists of clumsy vehicles pottering around a selection of small, palette swapped fields, the combat is stodgy and unforgiving, and the environments that look like wide open spaces often turn out to be nothing more than carefully linear pathways that turn the game into a corridor shooter. We'll give it some credit for an engaging plot and brilliant cutscenes, but a quick look at the brilliant Mass Effect 2, which fixes almost all the problems of its predecessor, makes it clear just how much Mass Effect got wrong. How it scored so highly we'll never know. You know what the punchline is? We confronted Bojeeva with our disappointment at his recommendation and his response? "I've never played it, never liked the sound of it, I just thought it was a good price."
Super Smash Bros Brawl's vocal fanbase will tell you that the speed and noise, the sheer kinetic excitement of what's happening on the screen is what makes it fun, but without depth, variety and precision, all that speed and noise feels rather disconnected from the player, feeling more like an iTunes visualiser than a game.
Contrast the endless series of heavy metal peaks on the soundtrack of GH with the limited number of crackers on its sequel, which is padded out with far more novelty numbers and lesser lights and you have the template for the future iterations of the plastic tat franchises-weaker and weaker content piled higher and higher.

1937 Studebaker
This is a 1937 Studebaker J5 Coupe Express pickup truck, owned and built by Jeff Rice of Ocala, Florida. The body is all stock with the exception of the bed cover, sun visor, and tail lights off a 1937 Studebaker Dictator passenger car. The bed cover is custom made from aluminum and is held up by gas struts.
This 350 V8 "McKinnon" engine (actually a GM V8), has a pair of custom home built valve cover adapters to put a set of cast aluminum Studebaker valve covers on there. It has an AFB carburetor, an HEI distributor with custom coil and cap, and it hooks to a Turbo 350 transmission, and a narrowed Ford 9" differential with Moser axles. All brackets and billet pieces were made in Jeff's one man shop.
The interior includes basic vertical rib grey panels, AutoMeter gauges, and a custom home machined billet column mount that holds the cruise control panel and the fog light switch. The electric window switches are from Hotronics, and the electric windows and wiper assembly are from Specialty Power Windows.
The front clip is off a Camaro, and includes Fatman Fabrications narrowed tubular a-arms, and front disc brakes. The smoothie wheels are from Wheel Vintiques.
Jeff found this Studebaker in the woods in Maine. You can see many more photos of this project on Jeff's website at http://community.webshots.com/user/deepnhock.
This is the second Studebaker we've featured as Hot Rod of the Week here on Hotrodders.com. You can check out the other one here.

" Genre: Indie Rock & Punk - Britpop / Artist: Ian Brown / Audio CD released 1998-02-01 at Polydor Group "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This album was almost the death of Ian Brown, as far as my fickle brain was concerned. Reasonable production values, reasonable tunes and reasonable lyrics led me to conclude that the spirit of his former band was indeed dead. However, since being won over by his second album (and his involvement with UNKLE) I have returned to this one with a renewed outlook. And I can now find plenty to like about it - the songs Corpses and My Star certainly have their charm, for a start. Overall, though, this is a far less accomplished album than his second - very much a testing the water affair. Worth oqning if you're a fan, though.
being obsessed as i am with the stone roses, i'd awaited the seahorses album with baited breath. the single 'love is the law' had squires roses written all over it, i couldnt wait. however, as they'd sy in the fast show, the results were disappointing. maybe i'd have to accept that them days were gone, i still had the memories, the ticketstubs and 12 inches. then this album came along, squire may have been the brains behind the band, brown was the perfect frontman though, and has collaborated with mani and reni on this album. lions is piss poor, thats the only one though. brilliant album, bit of sniping at squire which is a tad unecessary but thats the only gripe. what this proves more than anything is that after the wishy washy seahorses, ian brown is the true carrier of the roses flag.
So, you've been in the most crictically acclaimed band fo the past ten years, it's split up and you're on your own. What do you do? Well according to Ian Brown you write an album which is almost an hour long attack on your former guitarist. The Stone Roses' second album was completely written by John Squire, even the lyrics, but if a singer had such a sharp tounge as this it seems strange that he didn't let him use it. From that point of view it bears some similarity to Marvin Gaye's "Whats Going On" which was a verbal attack on his ex wife. But that puts unfair pressure on Ian comparing him to the greatest vocalist of all time. The first single "My Star" is a space exploration fantasy and one of only two songs that don't blast Squire. It has an almost sonic quality, but falls short because of the production, sounding 'tinny'. Th enext song "Can't see me" is almost a roses reunion. uses Mani & Reni from the roses and a disused drum loop from the second coming sessions. It's one of the best songs on the album and has a indie yet dancy feel. A great song indeed. The standout song is "Corpses". A haunting song that seems to be an attack on the aformentioned lead guitarists drug addiction. It is well constructed and preformed. His finest moment as a solo artist, and sounds similar to early stone roses material. That is where he is at his best, when echoing the early Stone Roses sound, and it works again on "Nah Nah". the song is good, but the chourus lets it down. It sounds as if he couldn't be bothered to write it. Either that or he's being very childish....you decide. The main problem with the album is the fact it was recored on a home studio. the production is awful, but their are some good moments here. worth a dabble.

Weekend of railroad work to close Essen Lane
BATON ROUGE - Drivers who frequent Essen Lane will need to consider taking another route later this month as railroad construction will close the road for a weekend.
DOTD said Essen Lane will be closed at the railroad crossing south of I-10 starting Friday, July 18 at 9 p.m. until Monday, July 21 at 5 a.m.
The weekend closure will allow crews from the Kansas City Southern Railway to reconstruct the Essen Lane railroad crossing, according to transportation officials.
Baton Rouge drivers south of the closure should take Perkins Road to Bluebonnet Blvd. to get around the construction. I-10 eastbound drivers should exit at Acadian Thruway then travel east on Perkins Road to get to Essen Lane, and I-10 westbound drivers should take the Bluebonnet Blvd. exit, travel south to Perkins Road and then proceed west to Essen Lane.
WBRZ.com will have updates when the road closures begin and traffic updates throughout the construction.

Kenmore Washermodel #11029822800
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
110.29822800 Load Sensor Switch
According to what I have read on your questions and answers, I think my load sensor switch is bad. (Machine will not fill). I'm not for sure yet because I haven't put my meter on it. I spoke with a local tech. Who was glad to offer some free advice. He said that from his experience most likely the timer switch or the fill valve might be bad. Is this also a possibility? Is the load sensor switch the most common problem? I'm also curious as to why after having this Kenmore for only 2 years, why anything would be wrong with it? They have always been real "Die Hards". Can you please provide me with the info I need to trouble shoot the load sensor switch, fill valve and timer switch? And how to remove the knob and timer switch? I also understand there is no repair manual available for this model. Can you foresee if and when one might be available? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, James

The Cobb "tuner" or "Pro" series Block would support your goal as that's basically what I have.. I would however like to see you upgrade the Rods as well at this time.. I regret not doing mine.. However on a half empty/half full ideal I think I'm going to have to pull my motor VERY soon to fix a (suspected) busted up piston ring so I might throw some rods in there as well..
The "Cobb Tuner Series 1" block is almost identical to mine, I have a Subaru STI short block with CP Pistons but both are forged pistons @ 8.5:1 and STI Rods and Crank.. It will hold your goal of 400whp.. I was told mine is good to 600whp on C16 or with Meth injection (my next purchase).. But I'm on a GT35R so you can easily run your GT30R at 24 Psi as I run my GT35R at that.. I hit about 9 grand over revving when my clutch let lose at my last drag event and I assume that is the cause of the busted up ring... Anyway..
Moving on.. I have Kelford Cams in mine.. I went with fully worked over heads and you might as well hold off on the cams until you can do your heads.. This will net you "steps" of power increase allowing you to get used to each increase and slowly build up to your goal.. This is a good way to go for several reasons..
1) I'm already used to mine and it feels slow to me..
2) Jumping from 165whp to 400whp just isn't a good idea.. LOL..
I would spend your 5000 like this..
Block Stage 1 or 2 even..
Walbro Fuel Pump
Aeromotive Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
(This will make you need new fuel lines to the rails. Even for aftermarket rails)
800cc 1000cc injectors (plenty good for your goal) I have 1200ccs..
Gauges Very important to monitor things.. Best to start this early.
AP Protune.. You will need to tune for the injectors even on the same CI block and
The rest I would set aside for the next Step and do all that at one time as well..

beaker glass bud vase
A simple but elegant bud vase. They'll think you spent way more on it than you did!
So many glass coffee tables use smoked, tinted, or frosted glass. What I love about this modern coffee table is that it's crystal clear, with shiny silver hardware -- and, it's very affordable as well.Tags: furniture, glass, modern, tables, decor, silver, coffee tables, affordableAdded 6 Years Ago from CB2

Victoria Promotions will present their offer of apartments in Calpe at the ImmobilienMesse fair 2011
Victoria Promotions will attend the real estate fair ImmobilienMesse 2011 in Leipzig, Germany.
This is due to good economic news coming out on national and international media where it shows that they have left the economic crisis behind and are returning to job creation and welfare.
Spain is the most suitable candidate for this type of operation due to the large fall in prices of real estate over the past 3 years.
In some places you can buy an apartment on the beach for less than 160,000 euros. This is the case for Victoria Promotions who advertise apartment sales in Calpe from 158,000 euros, overlooking the sea and only 70 meters away from the beach.
"This becomes an attractive price to any buyer, as they are very spacious apartments with generous terraces and we deliver them well-equipped. Victoria Beach is a landmark building, well known by people who come on holiday to Calpe, and since 2005 we've been operating both domestically and internationally, so anyone who wants to buy and later rent has an excellent opportunity given its fame, as well as taking advantage of this very special price" says Adrian Flores, Head of Sales Promotions at Victoria.
"This year, between 18th and 20th February, we will be at ImmobilienMesse 2011 with the assurance that we will return with exceptional results. This building is famous among the German customers and we know that this gives us a great head start in comparison with any other promotion in the area", Re-affirms Adrian.
As we can see, the vast majority of estate agents and developers are turning their efforts to once again capture the foreign middle and upper-middle class markets, which are the key to generating sales.

Tallmadge -- For the third consecutive year, the city invites people of all ages to enjoy various genres of music at one of its most well-known parks.
The Music on the Circle free concert series is scheduled Saturdays, July 12 through Aug. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Circle Park.
Parking will be available at businesses around the Circle.
Attendees are encouraged to take chairs or blankets to sit on, and food is welcome.
As a complement to the concerts, the city's Parks and Recreation Department is expanding the outdoor movie program called Movies in the Parks it started last year.
After two of the concerts at Circle Park, a family-friendly movie will be shown on a large, inflated projection screen. On two separate dates, two other movies will be shown at dark without preceding concerts at different parks.
The movies being shown will be announced at a later date.
Rec Program Coordinator Renee Kaufman said the concert series attracts people of all ages, but when a movie was shown after one of the concerts last year, more families with young children attended. To attract even more young families, the Parks and Recreation Department decided to show a total of four movies this year.
"We just thought this might be a good way to have the community come out and enjoy the music. By the time the music's over, it's dark out, and they can enjoy a movie ... ," Kaufman said. "It's a fun community function that we've been wanting to do so we just thought by incorporating the two together it might be a fun way to get it started."
Music on the Circle, MOVIES IN THE PARKS 2014:
July 12 — The Chardon Polka Band (polka music) with movie to follow — Circle Park
July 19 — The John Trapani Big Band (big band music)
July 24 — Movie only — at dark, park to be announced

text: GLENWOOD, Ill., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Landauer, Inc. (NYSE: LDR), a recognized global leader in personal and environmental radiation monitoring and the leading domestic provider of outsourced medical physics services, today announced that it has acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of IZI Medical Products, LLC (IZI Medical Products) of Baltimore, MD, for a purchase price of approximately $93 million. IZI Medical Products is a leading provider of high quality medical consumable accessories used in radiology, radiation therapy, and image guided surgery procedures and was a portfolio company of Boston based Riverside Partners, a private equity firm with two decades of experience with middle market healthcare and technology companies. "IZI Medical Products is a significant addition to our product and service offering to help customers ensure the safe utilization of radiation and supports our growth objectives via strategic expansion," stated Bill Saxelby, President and CEO of Landauer. "IZI Medical Products expands Landauer's addressable market opportunities in both the U.S. and international markets and brings a very talented team of individuals with a similar culture to Landauer. This partnership provides considerable opportunities and resources for the IZI organization and I look forward to working with Helen Shafer, CEO of IZI Medical Products, and her team." IZI Medical Products has a broad product portfolio ranging from consumables used with MRI, CT, and Mammography technologies to highly engineered consumable passive reflective markers used during Image Guided Surgery procedures. With a global customer base and two decades of research and development expertise, IZI is well positioned to serve the growing and attractive radiation oncology, radiology, and image guided surgery end markets. Saxelby added, "The acquisition is an excellent strategic fit and enhances our radiation safety continuum offering. There is significant synergy of customers between the companies and the combined brands of two market leaders allows for an expanded breadth of products and services to our healthcare clients. Sales for IZI Medical Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $14 million." "The IZI team is excited about becoming a part of Landauer," said Helen Shafer, CEO of IZI Medical Products. "We believe that Landauer's resources will be of significant value to our long-term growth strategy and the fit from a cultural perspective is outstanding. We look forward to a long and profitable relationship with Landauer." IZI Medical Products was acquired for approximately $93 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition is expected to be approximately $0.12-$0.16 accretive to earnings per share in fiscal year 2012. The structure of the transaction also provides Landauer with a future tax benefit with a net present value of approximately $18.6 million. Senior Debt Facility Landauer obtained financing for the IZI Medical Products acquisition through refinancing of Landauer's existing debt with a new $175 million revolving debt facility with a term of five years. This new line of credit will support borrowings to cover the purchase price and other costs associated with the transaction, refinance existing debt as well as provide in excess of $40 million for potential future strategic transactions and working capital needs. Robert W. Baird & Co. acted as financial advisor to Landauer on this transaction, while BMO Harris Bank is Administrative Agent and BMO Capital Markets and PNC Capital Markets were Co-Lead Arrangers on the debt refinancing and new debt facility. Dividend Policy The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This represents an annual rate of $2.20 per share, consistent with fiscal 2011 levels. The dividend will be paid on January 4, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 9, 2011. "Landauer is committed to maintaining its dividend policy which enables the company to continue to return cash to shareholders," stated Saxelby. "We believe that our focus on driving shareholder value, the strength of our product offering and our position as the market leader in global dosimetry services, medical physics services and image guided surgery procedures will continue to drive the growth and development of Landauer over the long term."

A Look Beyond Amazon's CloudBarb Darrow
When people think Infrastructure as a Service, their first thought is Amazon Web Services. That's fair given its early-mover advantage and size. But AWS is not the only IaaS in town. The thing is, some much smaller cloud providers are not trying to compete with AWS on sheer size and breadth of services but more on specialized features and services or by focusing on a smaller market. The feeling among cloud analysts is that a smaller provider can out-innovate the big guy provided it focuses that innovation and doesn't try to be all things to all people.
"While AWS, Rackspace, and Microsoft are on everyone's short list, you have to look at every IaaS player to determine fit. The objective is to move from the business, to the requirements, to the technology. If you do that, you need to be a bit more open-minded when it comes to selecting a cloud provider," said David Linthicum, Gigaom Research analyst.
Given that assessment, here's a list of a few IaaS offerings that have cropped up often in my conversations over the past few months. You may not know them by name but they may be worth a look, depending on your needs.
Tier 3. This small cloud provider got outsize kudos from Gartner's rankings for what Gartner cloud analyst Lydia Leong described as a "good balance of manageability and control for an IT audience and productivity-oriented stuff for developers." For developers, its Iron Foundry PaaS—basically a version of Cloud Foundry for the .NET world—is a strong entry, and Tier 3 supports popular development and operations tools including New Relic, Pingdom, Logstash, and Octopus Deploy.
ProfitBricks. This company zigged where Amazon zagged, offering scale-up architecture—you can rent gigantic instances of computing power, up to 62 CPU cores and 240 GB of RAM—which suits traditional big database applications as well as some NoSQL scenarios. "What I like about them is instead of imitating Amazon EC2 like most of the newbies, they leapfrogged AWS with their scale-up architecture, dynamic instance types, InfiniBand, and SSD-based storage," said Gigaom Research analyst Janakiram MSV.
Virtustream. For enterprise accounts needing cloud infrastructure to run enterprise SAP applications, Virtustream is probably a great option. So great that SAP invested in Virtustream. The company was smart to pick an application it excels at and then target the heck out of that audience. Virtustream has 100 production large-scale SAP implementations running—that's impressive," said Forrester Research analyst Dave Bartoletti.
DigitalOcean. For newbies who may not know what an instance is but want to build stuff on rented modern infrastructure. DigitalOcean is "wicked cheap, adding customers fast and doesn't have a ton of legacy infrastructure so they're the first time of where IaaS prices are headed," said Carl Brooks, analyst at 451 Research.
Internap. Has a nice mix of cloud and bare metal capabilities. And its recent purchase of iWeb may make it home to a lot more small and midsize companies. Brooks said Internap is "turning colocation into cloud long-term, and does interesting stuff around DCIM [Data Center Infrastructure Management]." Customers like the mix of bare metal and virtualized options. Data analytics company Exelate uses Internap a lot because it's able to define its own server specs, network topology, and storage arrays, said Exelate co-founder and CTO Elad Efraim.
GoGrid. Offers very enterprise-y service-level agreements (SLAKs) that distinguish it from the pack, said Forrester Research analyst Dave Bartoletti. And with its GoGrid Exchange, independent software vendors can license and package up their applications to run on GoGrid, making deployment easier for end users.
This is hardly a scientific sample. Please use comments below to propose other, smaller IaaS providers and specifically why they deserve a look. Remember, AWS, Rackspace, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard need not apply for our purposes here.

Optimism is high in the Triway Local Schools District, where a 3-mill permanent improvement levy is on the March 7 ballot for the purpose of addressing critical space needs in the three elementary schools-- Wooster Township, Franklin Township and Shreve.
The Triway School Board voted unanimously in December to place the levy on the ballot with money to be used for additions and renovations at all three schools.
Superintendent Kevin DiDonato is confident that crucial space needs have been demonstrated to district residents.
"We've done the best we can with what we've got," DiDonato said, reviewing that old locker rooms and restrooms have been converted into classroom space, larger classrooms have been "reconfigured" into multiple smaller ones, and former drivers' education trailers have been returned to service as libraries at Wooster Township and Franklin Township.
"The bottom line is we have done everything within reason to maximize existing space," he said.
With the hoped-for passage of the levy, both new construction and renovation work are planned for Wooster Township. Levy funding would provide four classrooms and a multi-purpose room to be used as a cafeteria, as well as a band and choir room and facility for a variety of functions.
Dr. Greg Cantrell, co-chair of the Triway Care Committee, said that students eating in their classrooms at Wooster Township is a "nightmare" for both them and their teachers.
"They never really get a break."
Cantrell also noted that "kids are being tutored in the hallways and practicing their instruments in the hallways when the stage is being used for gym."
New construction in the building would also render it handicap accessible.
Renovation work would encompass first floor classrooms, restrooms, the art room (the current art facility consists of an art cart) and staff areas; kitchen area upgrades; stairwell improvements; and work on chalkboards, ceilings, and electrical receptacles throughout the building.
New construction to Franklin Township would add one room-- a guidance counselor room, staff, and office area-- in addition to a corridor and entrance. Renovations would be made to the restrooms, ceilings, chalkboards, flooring, and electrical receptacles.
At Shreve Elementary, Cantrell said, "They have the room they need. What they desperately need is the room they have to be renovated."
If the levy passes, renovations will be made to doors, floors, ceilings, chalkboards, and walls in all 30 classrooms and the restroom in the 1922 wing of the building, and funds will also be used to revamp electrical receptacles and chalkboards.
Cantrell stressed that permanent improvement levy money may only be utilized for ongoing maintenance, construction, and equipping of buildings and for capital projects. It cannot be used for salaries and benefits.
He also emphasized that the Triway Board of Education will not seek renewal of the current 1 mill permanent improvement levy when it expires at the end of the 2002 calendar year if the 3 mill levy passes, in actuality resulting in only a 2 mill gain for the district.
If the 3 mill levy passes, he said, "We'll be allowed to borrow up to one half of the money generated over a ten-year period up front to be used to complete projects," Cantrell said.
"It gets them going faster than if we had to wait to collect 'X' amount of dollars."
The total cost for all of the renovation and additions projects at all three of the elementary schools is $2,049,850.
The breakdown in cost of a 3-mill levy to a homeowner is $68.91 per year on a $75,000 home; $91.89 per year on a $100,000 home; $137.82 per year on a $150,000 home; and $183.75 on a $200,000 home.
"We're getting a lot for the money realistically," Cantrell said.
"(The needs are) most critical at the elementary level," he said. "We can start there and then move on (to the other facilities)."
"The foundation of any school district is its elementary schools," he stressed.
"This district has to address the needs; there are no other ways to produce a positive learning environment for the kids," DiDonato said. "We're out of options."
"The district has responded in times of demonstrated need," he continued. "They come through for us every time."
"They make us show the need, and that's fine, and they have always come through for us."

DIY Girl needing advice on everything.
Hello folks,
I grew up in a family where it was assumed that all problems should be fixed by the homeowner, but since my Dad was the black sheep of the family (a scientist, not a carpenter) a lot just didn't get fixed. Add to that the fact that I didn't pay attention that well and now I'm an adult that thinks I probably could do a lot of projects myself - but I usually want advice from more experienced folks before I start.
My husband grew up in a family that does nothing themselves. (I had to show him how to use a hammer.) So he's not much help in the DIY realm. ("Just pay someone, honey." "But handymen get over $80/hour around here." "Well, let's just not fix it then.")
We live in Maryland, where it is *way* too hot & humid for me in the summer, but still gets plenty cold & dry in the winter so we've got to make our house work for both heating and cooling. Our house is a 1957 brick on block ranch with a lot of stuff wearing out. I've already learned plenty from prowling the forums, I hope I can get as much from my own questions.

It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a guy -- anyone can learn to do stuff.
When my wife and I got serious she called her parents to introduce me to them on the phone. I'll never forget -- one of the first things she told her mom was, "He fixes things."
Good tools and good books will take you a long ways. You don't need to buy the books either -- the library has all sorts of good info. Just be mindful of the dates of the books you read.

I'm in the middle of a book about how working with one's hands is passe. Well I'm not sure about that-he's near NYC- I think its also a geographic thing-we're still pretty handy here in Maine. As one who can do about anything-he says humbly, I am sometimes stopped in my tracks when I hear stories somewhat like yours. Growing up, I though everybody had at least some handy competence.
Anyway, that isn't why I wrote-just got on the forum (avoiding the nasty cold).
After a career that involved alot of residential construction, I'm focusing on energy efficency in buildings. I've just finished all my certifications and as I learn more about the field it becomes more nuanced and interesting-but I've developed a strong passion for effeciency. I've always been heavy on insulation when the customer allowed it, but now I see how much more is possible as the field of building science has evolved with modeling for individual building etc.
For you, if your family has the wherewithal, I would consider dealing with the whole building as a system. To get a clear picture of what's happening in your house, you really should have an energy audit. This involves several elements-a discussion with yor family about current energy usage, building usage patterns and your objectives, coupled with an energy loss evaluation which involves depressurizing the house to help locate infiltration points, evaluating heating equipment, seeking sources of excessive moisture levels, scanning the structure with an infrared (thermal imaging) camera to identify structural and other elements that impact heat loss/retention. All this information is gathered together to create a computer modeled plan that guides work to achieve energy effeciency targets. It is not uncommon to set 50% savings or higher as a target. This is achieved through intensive insulation, sealing of air infiltration pathways and other practices.
With a house the age of yours, you may consider energy modifications in concert with other remodeling to achieve maximum results.
There is currenty funding available to assist in weatherization-contact your state energy or housing office. Also, qualified personnel are certified by BPI-the Building Performance Institute-many states, including mine, require certification to work on project with state or federal funding.
If you decide to go this route look for a company that integrates energy audit and weatherization capability. One might thing that there might be undesireable collusion-which I'm sure has happened. But more important is that you want a team that effectively communicates so that the auditor's findings are reflected in the work. Also a followup audit is essential to assure proper workmanship. An "insulating" company will not do. They are not up to speed on current practices.
In terms of learning skills-on possibility is the Shelter Institute, here in Maine that has courses for, like yourself- I believe there are similar operations scattered about.
Best to you, Will

Due North - I am also rather passionate about efficiency, though I've been a bit hap-hazard about applying that passion. We have solar electric and hot water. Soon after the solar was installed we got an energy audit. He said we needed to seal the air leaks, insulate the attic & replace the furnace and air conditioner. Just a few months later the furnace died. It was already spring. We lit a fire in the fireplace for 2 days and then it was warm enough that we didn't need a furnace. There was some issue with installing a high-efficiency furnace where the old furnace was, while we were trying to work that out our AC died. Losing them both at once actually made it economical to get a geo-thermal heat pump. We also got the attic insulated so now we're doing the easiest & cheapest of his recommendations - caulking all the cracks.
In the spirit of treating the whole house as a system - do you think I should ask all of my questions at once? I was planning on dividing them up and asking them one by one but they are inter-related.
I've got a lot of air leaks into the house, through the old brick on block, completely uninsulated walls, and through a poorly built wood framed addition, and through some oddly made windows. (3 questions)
On the other side of the coin, I find it hard to really ventilate when I want to. Maryland has a lot time in the fall and spring where the weather is very hot during the day and cool at night. I open all the windows at night but the air flow just isn't good enough to cool the house. (at least on question)
I also believe that I have some serious mold issues in the bathroom walls due to poorly installed fixtures. I haven't been brave enough to open the walls and take a peek, because as soon as I do I'll have to demo the bathrooms. However, 5 of the 6 residents have asthma so we can't avoid it for too long. (at least one more question)

12 years ago I totally agreed with you, but I met this girl who told me she didn't believe in IQ tests, and that everyone could learn. Well in the last 12 years I've seen that it's true.
She's a music teacher, and her students always sound good. Better than the other teachers. But her pool of students are no different from the others. I think she'd be the first to tell you that she doesn't really know any techniques that are any different from her fellow teachers. I think the only real difference is that she expects them to be successful, and she believes that they all can be.
After my dad (also a teacher) met her (we've been married 11 years now, btw), he came up with, "Don't take this the wrong way, but I wouldn't want to be in her class.... No wait, I'd only want to be in her class if I wanted to learn."
You don't stop learning when you get old -- you get old when you decide to stop learning.

You shouldn't call your dad a Black sheep just becasue of what he does for a living
When the multi-bilionare Ross Perot still owned Electronic Data Systems the company that made him so rich there standard hirering practice was to send you to another state for your second interview. They wanted to make sure that if you were needed somewhere fast you could hope on a plane and get there.
I did some hirering for EDS and it was a lot different. It didn't matter if your degree was in computers, if you were good enough Ross would pay to train you. If you had less than a 3.5 you didn't get interviewed and then a major part of the interview process was why they didn't get a 4.0. My Senior project was getting the Muscular Dystrophy Association computerized at no cost to them. They sent me to Dallas and Ross himself asked If I'd like to work with him. By company policy everyone was on a first name basis including Ross. About 2 months later I went to Dallas for the 2 week orientation and Ross walked out of his office and remembers my name.
With the help of a couple of friends I added a bedroom and full bath onto the back of our house when I was 15. The only problem was not being able to drive to get suplies.
Take your time and ask questions. They give classes at the Home Depot and I think Lowe's as well.
It can be nasty sweaty and a lot of work, but when you finish your first DIY project and stand back and you say to yourself I did that, and feel good about it, your hooked. It won't be long before you get mad when they move things at Home Depot becasuse you know where everything is, and won't ever pay anyone $80 an hour (except mabey A/C guys) again. You'll Do-It-Yourself.

Not your grandmother's casseroles
By Jessie Price, October 12, 2010 - 10:00am
Jessie asks: What is your favorite hotdish/casserole recipe?
I was stunned to read the description of my childhood favorite meal, tater tot casserole, in your October issue. It was surreal. I grew up in Oshkosh, WI, and even in my new home, Madison, WI, no one seems to have eaten casseroles. We ate them almost every night of the week. However, we were German Lutherans, which may be why we never used the word hotdish.
My second favorite meal was pan-fried pork chops placed in a baking pan, then topped with ice cream scoops of a quick stuffing made of diced wheat bread. A sauce of thinned cream of chicken soup was poured overall. The casserole was baked until the stuffing was cooked through and the sauce was bubbly.
For another chop casserole, Mom sprinkled raw rice and sliced onions and carrots over the chops. Then leftover gravy from an earlier pot roast or beef stew was poured over. This was baked until the rice was cooked.
Another variation topped the chops with hashbrowns, cheese, and cream of mushroom soup.
Another favorite casserole was made by tossing cooked egg noodles with canned tomatoes and scissors-snipped pieces smokey links which had been pan-browned. The casserole was topped with buttered bread crumbs and baked until it was heated through and the topping was browned and crispy.
Thanks for this surreal experience and the resulting trip down memory lane.

Macaroni Casserole - 1 lb box of large maccaroni or penne, cooked firm, according to package directions, 2 cans stewed tomatoes (chop them up a bit), 3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, salt & pepper to taste, 5 (or more) slices of bacon. Mix pasta, tomatoes & cheese together in a 13 x 9 pan, add salt and pepper to taste. Lay bacon slices on top (as many as will fit). Bake @ 350 degrees until bacon is browned & cheese is melted, about 35 minutes. Horrifically fattening, this dish is strictly occasional comfort-food. .

Wow being from Minnesota, I have so many. I love tater tot hotdish!! My kids love sliced potatoes with hamburger, cream corn, regular corn, and cream of mushroom soup. Many of our hotdishes don't have a name given to them. (perhaps why we say we will bring a hotdish). Hotdishes are so easy to create choose what you like and lump it together and bake! LOL Great comfort food!!

Alise Hegle transformed from being homeless to college graduate
Alise Hegle is this year's Seattle Central Transforming Lives Award nominee and was also recognized by the American Bar Association as a National Reunification Hero.
She remembers what it felt like to be homeless and adrift in a drug–induced fog. She credits her inner strength and her education for creating a path that allows her to advocate for others in similar situations. "People need someone who believes in them, and in order for me to be there for others, I needed to receive an education," Alise said. "From the moment I sat down in a classroom, I was embraced by the faculty and students, and learned very quickly that people believed in me as I worked hard to believe in myself."
Alise earned an associate degree with honors from Seattle Central in 2012 and is now enrolled in the Applied Behavioral Science program. She is on track to graduate with a Bachelor of Applied Science in June and plans to use her education to help others who struggle with drugs, criminal backgrounds and child custody issues.
"I feel I have a purpose to assist others during their journey of change. That's because I remember what it feels like to live in darkness, to be homeless sleeping in the snow, and to not know if my daughter was ever coming home."
Her daughter was taken away by child protective services at birth and not returned until Alise successfully completed parenting and criminal court programs a year later. "The hard work paid off because on my 26th birthday, I was told I was going to get my daughter back." Since then she has focused her energies on attending college and raising her five–year–old daughter.
After receiving her bachelor's degree from Seattle Central, Alise plans to study for a master's degree in public administration to better advocate for policy changes to help families involved in the welfare system and the legal system. She feels her success story shows the formerly incarcerated can have a positive impact on society.

I have put a copy of issue #1 of Astonishing Queer Comics online. Check it out if you have a chance! www.astonishingqueertales.tumblr.com
All in Your Head is a queer/feminist traditional cut-and-paste style zine with a focus on LGBTQIA neurodivergent and disabled activists, zinesters, artists, and authors. Our zine operates on the following *principles: 1.) social inequality and injustice exists [racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, cissexism to name a few]; 2.) disability, neurodiversity can be understood as a viable form of human difference that intersects with/is shaped by systems of dominance; 3.) claims that there is a "normal" bodymind can have damaging and harmful effects (physically/emotionally/spiritually) and are partly shaped by current social/cultural values and white western colonial histories; 4.) neuroatypical people and people with disabilities must navigate cultural taboos, move among complex institutions and systems of care and negotiate conflicting ideas of "wellness/illness," "silence/disclosure," "visibility/invisibility;" "dis/ability" and more 5.) most importantly, our stories matter.
(*this list is by no means exhaustive)
For the 2016 Spring edition of All in Your Head, we invite you to share first person narratives, essays, rants, poems, doodles, paintings/drawings, photography, collages, book/film/art reviews (and more!) that address the theme: "(a)sexuality, intimacy, and identity." We are seeking pieces that explore (a)sexuality, intimacy, and identity as they relate to disabled bodyminds and ways that queer neurodivergent, disabled folks encounter and resist cultural stigma and self-authorize our existence.Please note that we choose use the term "(a)sexuality" in the title in an effort to de-center compulsory (hetero)sexuality in our work. We strive to create inclusive communities and expand our coalitional possibilities.
For issue #3, we are seeking topics that address the follow themes:
§ Compuslory (hetero)sexuality and disability;
§ Reflections on the hypersexualization of POC bodies, the desexualization and infantalization of disabled bodyminds, and/or their interconnections;
§ Ace /aro identities, compulsory (hetero)sexuality, mental health; medicalization/pathologization of aro/ace experience and disability/chronic illness;
§ Disability and romantic, sexual, care giving; and/or platonic relationships;
§ Consent and disability;
§ Sexual expression, sexual identity and visibility as neuroqueer, chronically ill and/or disabled queer people;
§ Non-monogamy, disability, chronic illness, and neurodivergence;
§ Kink and leather explorations of sex and disability;
§ (A)sexuality, advocacy, and activism;
§ (A)sexualities, art, and self-expression;
§ (A)sexualities, disability, bodily autonomy, and the medical industrial complex;
§ Have an idea not listed here? Submit anyway!
It is a myth that you must be a "good writer" or "good artist" to submit to a zine. We welcome many kinds of writing and artwork!!

Hello Queer Zine Writers,
I am doing a study on zine libraries and am conducting a survey to assess zine writers' comfort levels with having their zines collected and circulated in zine libraries and archives in the US. I am both a librarian and a zine writer, and I believe it's important for zine librarians to have a sense of how the zine community feels about having their works in zine libraries, and what (if any) factors might increase or decrease comfort levels. The survey is completely anonymous and will not collect any identifying information about participants. Ultimately, the results of the survey may be presented at an academic conference to librarians, and/or published in an academic journal.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Here is the link to the survey:
(And also, you can look me up in We Make Zines; I create Alex the Zine.)
Thank you,
Anne Hays,

U.S. tries "hip hop" diplomacy in Pakistan
By Chris Allbritton
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Considered by many Pakistanis to be public enemy number one, the United States on Monday turned to the musical descendants of rap group Public Enemy in an attempt to counter its highly unpopular image in the south Asian nation.
As part of its cultural diplomacy program, the U.S. embassy brought the FEW Collective, a hip-hop troupe from Chicago, to Islamabad, where they danced, rapped and recited poetry to a Westernized, educated elite audience of young Pakistanis.
The group's 10-day trip is the latest by a number of musical acts sponsored by the State Department as part of its American Festival of the Arts, a cultural program designed to promote exchanges between the people of the two countries.
"It gives a good impression," said Atroz Abro, 20, who attended the show. "You rarely find such events in Pakistan... to pump up the youth by bringing something new."
But FEW Collective has its work cut out. Only 12 percent of Pakistanis have a favorable opinion of the United States, according to a July poll by the Pew Research Center, while 73 percent have an unfavorable opinion and 16 percent don't know.
These strong negative perceptions are often cited by the Pakistani military as one reason why Pakistan won't tackle militants in its wild border regions where Taliban groups plan attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Rampant anti-Americanism in Pakistan also allows the government to avoid making needed -- but unpopular -- economic reforms demanded by international lending agencies, which are widely seen as aligned with the United States.
The goal, said U.S. assistant cultural attache Jamie Martin, is to show "that there's another layer to the relationship. It's not just government to government and military to military. It's people to people." Continued...
