TPWD Sets Panhandle Pheasant Scoping Meetings
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is asking for public input on possible changes to the traditional first weekend in December opening date for pheasant season in the Panhandle. A series of scoping meetings is set for January to give the public additional opportunities to comment.
"The purpose of this discussion is to gain feedback from hunters and landowners regarding the possibility of opening future pheasant seasons the Friday after Thanksgiving to afford hunters a three-day holiday weekend to enjoy pheasant hunting," said Vernon Bevill, TPWD game bird program director.
The current pheasant season framework calls for opening the first Saturday in December for 30 consecutive days.
No immediate changes to the pheasant season framework are being considered in order to ensure the public has ample opportunity to weigh in on the discussion.
TPWD will present all rule change proposals to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission for consideration in January. The Commission will determine which rule change proposals will be published in the Texas Register for public comment and only after additional public comment is received next spring will the Commission decide whether or not to take final action.
Any change to pheasant season could take effect Nov. 27, 2009 or be delayed until Nov. 26, 2010 to give hunters and outfitters ample time to make travel plans.
In addition to the following scoping meetings, the public is encouraged to participate in an informal online scoping survey available on the TPWD home page http://tpwd.texas.gov/ by clicking on the Public Comments link. Public input can also be made in writing to Vernon Bevill, TPWD Game Bird Program Director, 4200 Smith School Rd., Austin, TX 78744 or at one of the upcoming scoping meetings; locations and dates to be determined.

De La Rosa deals sharp start, but Rockies edged late
After lefty departs in sixth, Colorado unable to preserve lead
PITTSBURGH -- The Rockies went with Plan A on Friday night. They turned a close game over to relievers Rex Brothers, Adam Ottavino and Matt Belisle, which sounded like a good idea based on the dominance they've shown at times.
But it's not working out this year. It didn't in Friday night's 4-2 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park in front of a sellout crowd of 37,833.
Starter Jorge De La Rosa turned in another strong outing. He left the Pirates with one run in six innings and had a 2-1 lead. But Brothers gave up two hits in the seventh, sandwiched around a throwing error by third baseman Nolan Arenado, and Ottavino hit Starling Marte in the helmet to force the tying run home. Then the Pirates scored two runs on three hits, including pinch-hitter Travis Snider's go-ahead RBI double in the eighth, off Belisle (2-5).
And it's not as if any other stalwart option has emerged.
"What other guys?" manager Walt Weiss asked. "These guys have all had success before. They're struggling right now."
So here sit the Rockies at 40-56. The once-injured players they have back will produce better than Friday, when Arenado ended a bases-loaded rally in the first with a double-play grounder and Carlos Gonzalez fanned five times. Certainly, scoring just once in the first two innings despite loading the bases each time was a key reason for this defeat.
And given that De La Rosa has earned four of the team's last six wins during a rough stretch, a rotation of "Jorge, then let us pray," isn't nearly good enough.
But in close games or with leads, the Rockies need more from the pitchers on whom theyr'e depending. Brothers, Ottavino and Belisle haven't been injured, but their struggles throughout this year have hurt. Brothers (4.35 ERA), Ottavino (3.89) and Belisle (5.26) needed to hold the narrow advantage. They couldn't.
"We couldn't put it away," Weiss said. "We got a few big outs there but in the final analysis we needed to put that game away."
About all that could be said about Friday was Marte was able to stay in the game and run the bases after Ottavino's pitch hit him.
"I threw him a slider before it, and I wanted to throw a fastball up -- not in and up like that," Ottavino said. "Obviously I didn't execute it. I hope he's all right. I'm glad he stayed in the game. That's a good sign. I know he came out. I hope he's all right. You never want to do that. It was a bad pitch."
Another veteran reliever, lefty Boone Logan, who has struggled through a lingering elbow problem this season, might have been called upon Friday but he was down because of a stiff neck -- the same ailment that led to first baseman Justin Morneau being scratched.
It would have been nice for the offense to have built a lead against Pirates starter Francisco Liriano, who was just wild enough to allow traffic in the first before escaping, and just unlucky enough to have to pitch around a jam in the second.
A Corey Dickerson single and two walks gave the Rockies the bases loaded with one out before Arenado's grounder. In the second, Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer botched DJ LeMahieu's grounder, third baseman Pedro Alvarez hesitated before charging a De La Rosa bunt and allowed a single, and a run scored when Mercer bobbled Dickerson's grounder and managed one out instead of two.
But Liriano fanned Drew Stubbs to end the second. The Rockies didn't score again until LeMahieu's two-out RBI single off Jared Hughes in the sixth.
"I was trying to pitch in and I got better as the game went on," said Liriano, who said he overthrew pitches the first couple of innings. "Executing pitches, that's the whole key for me."
De La Rosa was solid once more. He threw 100 pitches in six innings and had plenty of traffic -- four hits and three walks. But the only run came with two down in the fifth, when Marte tripled in Gregory Polanco, ran through Pirates third-base coach Nick Leyva's sign, and was thrown out at the plate by Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's relay throw.
Otherwise, De La Rosa scattered the baserunners and for the most part forced weak contact.
The Pirates had solid bullpen work, which concluded with Tony Watson (6-1) earning a win with a scoreless eighth and Mark Melancon earning his 17th save.

Article by Anke Schnedler, marketing manager, Adobe Systems
According to Gartner Group more than 35 per cent of the top 5,000 global companies will "regularly fail to make insightful decisions about significant changes in their business and markets in 2012," because of lack of information, processes, and tools. Indeed, for many years managers have been telling employees that they should 'work smarter, not harder' when seeking improvements in productivity. This is all very well but for design professionals and engineers in the manufacturing industry, collaborating and exchanging plans with colleagues, suppliers, partners and agencies is part and parcel of the job. Having so many people involved in any one project means document review cycles can add days — even months — to project timelines, impacting productivity and the bottom line.
As a result, it's more important than ever that engineers embrace smart working principles and equip themselves with document collaboration tools that not only increase efficiency through the review process, but enable them to protect company information, even when documents travel outside of the document management system and corporate firewall.
Gone are the days when designs are hand drawn and sent by stagecoach or post for review. Advances in software packages have automated paper-based processes and remote working has revolutionised the way that manufacturers work with dispersed project teams, remote suppliers, offshore production facilities and customers worldwide.
Given the impact of the recession on the UK manufacturing industry, now more than ever, manufacturers need to have a tight end- to-end document management process and collaboration tools to bring products to market quickly. Adobe is committed to helping manufacturers to connect, interact, and engage in powerful new ways. For example, Acrobat X Pro allows organisations to not only combine files from multiple applications which streamlines the design review processes, but also includes features that allow designers to add dimensions as well as rotate, zoom, cross-section, measure, and create 3D markups. The ability to review documents in real-time allows large teams to interact and interrogate rich 2D drawings and 3D designs. Being able to compare plans with previous versions ultimately helps organisations reduce costs, drive innovation, minimise design cycles and improve product quality — while bringing products to market faster than ever.
Another key challenge for manufacturers is how to maintain the integrity of networked systems whilst mitigating the risk of exposing critical data in an environment where the threat landscape is constantly changing. Indeed, manufacturers across the globe (Boeing, Allgaier Automotive, Electrolux, and Samsung) rely on products like Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader software. By using PDF, manufacturers can protect and manage sensitive information through document controls and security rules so only those with permission can access documents and control who opens, views, prints, copies, and modifies files — both inside and outside the firewall.
The old adage time is money is now more relevant than ever before. Modern day manufacturers need to embrace technology if they are to achieve operational efficiency. To see how Adobe and its partners can help manufacturers prepare, protect, and deliver professional PDF communications click here.

Unlucky 13th: O's drop finale to Angels
After 12 scoreless innings, Pujols snaps tie with RBI single off Webb
BALTIMORE -- Eventually, the Orioles' extra-inning magic had to come to an end. Even as Thursday night dragged on toward midnight and the O's struggled to score a run, there was that glimmer of hope that they would break through for an eighth consecutive extra-inning win.
For 12 innings, Baltimore held the Angels off the Camden Yards scoreboard. For 13 innings, the Angels did the same to the O's. An RBI single by Albert Pujols in the top of the 13th was enough to decide a 1-0 Angels victory in front of 24,974.
"You'd always like to take advantage of a game pitched that well," manager Buck Showalter said. "But they pitched that well, too.
The Orioles managed just five hits in the game and their top five hitters went a combined 1-for-25 with three walks as Baltimore (60-47) missed a chance to sweep the Angels (64-43) for the first time since 2012.
For the first three frames of extra innings, the O's stout bullpen held off a potent Los Angeles offense. Tommy Hunter froze Mike Trout for a strikeout to end the 10th and retired Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Erick Aybar in order in the 11th. Even Ryan Webb, who eventually surrendered the winning run, tossed a scoreless 12th and allowed just one hit during that frame.
In the 13th, however, he wasn't as lucky. Webb (3-2) walked leadoff hitter Kole Calhoun on four pitches. Trout and Pujols then followed with a pair of singles and Los Angeles had the first and only run of the game.
"You never want to be the one to give it up in a game like that," Webb said. "It sucks, but you can't walk the leadoff guy in an inning like that, especially with those guys coming up."
With the Orioles' offense struggling on Thursday, one run was enough. For 4 2/3 innings, Tyler Skaggs completely vexed Baltimore and even after he exited with left forearm tightness and a no-hitter in the works, the O's couldn't sustain much offense.
Catcher Caleb Joseph broke up the Halos' no-hitter immediately after Skaggs left, but the Orioles managed only one more hit during the first nine innings.
"I don't know if a break is the right word because the back end of their bullpen is really good," Joseph said. "I mean, every arm they have down there is really good."
Mike Morin, who allowed Joseph's hit, didn't allow another in 1 1/3 innings. Kevin Jepsen followed with a hitless frame. Joe Smith and Cory Rasmus each allowed one hit to help the game make it to extras and Hector Santiago (3-7) yielded two before Huston Street shut the door in the 13th for his fourth save since joining the Angels.
Bud Norris' seven shutout innings weren't as pretty as Skaggs' 4 2/3, but the O's starter did enough to keep the game scoreless through seven innings and set up another strong effort from the bullpen. Norris allowed eight hits, walked a batter and hit another with a pitch, and still kept a dangerous Los Angeles offense off the board.
The Orioles pitchers also had the help of Manny Machado's typical defensive heroics. In the 11th, the third baseman once again ranged into foul territory for a backhand stop to rob Pujols of extra bases and start the inning with a groundout.
"At the end of the day you need to stay positive," Pujols said. "You've got nine guys on the field for a reason. They're going to make plays. Sometimes you're going to sneak one by, other times they're going to make the play."
In his next at-bat, Pujols went away from Machado and delivered the game-winning RBI up the middle for a one-run victory.
Despite the loss, Baltimore finishes the season with four wins in six tries against the Halos -- one of just two teams in the Majors with a better record than the O's. The last four have been decided by one run. All were decided by two runs or fewer.
The close wins aren't a matter of the Orioles being fortunate, they're just the natural result of winning games between two of the best teams in baseball.
"Fortunate? No," Showalter said. "We think we can compete with them and we did."

Posted: Thursday, August 19, 2010Department: Information Systems
WinstonNet Inc., a partnership of local government and academic institutions and the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce to provide free computer services to city and county residents, has received a $926,537 federal broadband recovery grant to provide new equipment for existing labs, better serve the Hispanic population, open new labs in low-income areas, and expand computer training, job training, and educational resources.
The federal grant will be matched with $532,711 in cash and $163,500 in in-kind contributions from WinstonNet and its member agencies, said John Boehme, the president of WinstonNet and director of technical resources for education and research administrative systems at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
"This grant will further WinstonNet's goal of giving all residents of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County access to computers and the skills they need to find jobs in the information age," Boehme said.
With this money WinstonNet will:
It should take about 24 months to plan, purchase and fully deploy all the equipment and furnishings within the labs, Boehme said.
WinstonNet received one of five grants awarded in North Carolina through the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Agriculture, totaling $115 million. The grants are intended to create jobs and help spur economic development through expanded access to high-speed Internet in underserved areas.
WinstonNet has been offering community access and computer training classes since 2003 with the goal of "bridging the digital divide" and preparing the workforce for the next generation of networked, computer-based technologies.
WinstonNet is a non-profit consortium and operates mostly through volunteer support. The organization grew out of an initiative to create a fiber-optic link between Wake Forest University and Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in 1998. Wake Forest then made excess capacity in the network available to the community.
Partners in WinstonNet involved with this grant include the city of Winston-Salem, which provides administrative support and hosts WinstonNet computer labs at 17 city recreation centers; Forsyth County, which provides administrative support, staffing support at computer labs and hosts 10 computer labs at public libraries; Wake Forest University and Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, which provide administrative support; Forsyth Technical Community College, which provides administrative and staffing support and hosts two existing and four planned computer labs; Winston-Salem State University, which provides staffing and hosts computer labs at its Community Knowledge Centers; the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, which provides marketing support and programs for children in low income neighborhoods; Computer Training Bridge, which provides free computer classes; and The Adaptables, which provides resources for persons with disabilities.
Other WinstonNet partners which have been instrumental in the grant preparation include the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, Salem College, the UNC School of the Arts, and the Piedmont Triad Research Park.

My wife and I are both a little under the weather, so we did something simple tonight.
Found these...
...and these...
...in Wally World earlier.
I took a recommendation off the package and added Cheddar Cheese to the Potatoes while they were on the grill, and then added Sour Cream and Bacon before serving them.
The hot dog was topped with some Mustard, Onions and Sauerkraut. This is most definitely my new favorite hot dog. I will be buying more of these in the future...they had an outstanding beef flavor. The potatoes weren't half bad either!! Surprising, because I wasn't expecting much. They weren't "gourmet" by any means, but they definitely hit the spot. Almost like a quick loaded baked potato, with a great crispiness.
beercuer, have you ever tried this particular hot dog? If so, what did you think?

STUART Heath has hailed the relationship between the Magpies and AFC Bournemouth over recent seasons, praising the work of both clubs in helping the development of young football talent.
The Cherries play Dorchester in a pre-season friendly at the Avenue tomorrow (3pm), with boss Eddie Howe set to field a different side in each half of the match.
And on the eve of the Championship club's appearance in the county town, Dorchester assistant-manager Heath told Echosport just how important the link between the two clubs has been.
"Bournemouth have been really important for us over the years, and the relationship works both ways," he said.
"Those who have come to us have gone back as better players for experiencing the physical demands of semi-professional football.
"We have taken some lads from Bourne-mouth who are not just good footballers but grounded individuals who have been well educated by Eddie Howe and Steve Purches.
"The guys that have come in have been top notch, on and off the pitch, and it's a credit to Bournemouth that they are like that.
"And credit should go to us as well because Bournemouth feel as though they can still send their players to us.
"I think the likes of Brandon Goodship and Josh McCarthy who we had last season will be knocking on the door of the Bournemouth first team this season."
Goodship, McCarthy, Josh Wakefield, Charlie Losasso and Aristide Bassele all came to Dorchester on loan from the Goldsands Stadium last term.
And despite Dorchester being relegated, Heath hopes the relationship with the Cherries can carry on.
He added: "We hope the relationship can continue and we can look after their lads and send them back as better players.
"The Southern League is a very competitive league and for first-year pros it is still a good standard to play at."
Defender Oakley Hanger will feature for the hosts tomorrow, but forwards Dan Cann and Dan Munday are both unavailable.
Heath went on to say: "We've already played two good teams and I think Bournemouth will be the toughest of all our pre-season games.
"It will be a real test of our defensive discipline and organisation, and that's the first thing you need to nail down."
Meanwhile, yesterday saw the publication of next season's Southern League Premier fixtures.
Dorchester begin at Arlesey Town on August 9 before travelling to Burnham the following Tuesday and hosting demoted Hereford United on the second Saturday of the campaign.
The first of the Ridgeway derbies with Weymouth is at the Bob Lucas Stadium on August 25, with the return match at the Avenue on Boxing Day.
Commenting on the fixtures, Heath said: "We're going into unknown territory a bit.
"While you never want to get relegated, you are going to be playing different teams and visiting different grounds and it's an exciting new challenge.
"We'll hope to go into the season with as much confidence and belief as possible, and it's important for any club that's been relegated to hit the ground running early on and get off to a good start."

A SPECIALISED load transporter carrying an Airbus A321 aircraft fuselage will be escorted through the Swindon area by Wiltshire Police on Sunday, March 9.
The transporter and its load will measure 6.10 metres (20ft) wide, 4.93 m (16ft-01ins) high with an overall length of 46.00 m (151 ft) and gross weight of 58 tonnes.
The abnormal load will be travelling from MOD St. Athan, near Barry, South Wales to Cotswold Airport, Kemble, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
Due to the size of this transporter it will be slow moving and will have the potential to create congestion. Wherever possible disruption will be kept to a minimum but hauliers and motorists are asked to please be patient if they come across this load. Anyone travelling over this period to catch a flight or meet appointments should allow sufficient additional time.
Whilst travelling on the A419 it will take up both northbound carriageways and motorists are asked to be patient.
The journey will begin in Wiltshire at approximately 13:30hrs from M4 Junction 18, where the load will be transported in convoy. It departs from M4 junction 18 to junction 15 before travelling North on the A419 towards Cirencester, then onto the A429 to arrive at Kemble.
Please note that due the possibility of inclement weather these timings may be flexible.
This load was previously due to move on February 9 but was cancelled due to the weather.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 14-year-old Orlando middle school student was arrested Monday after he was found carrying a loaded gun, police said.
[LISTEN: Principal alerts parents about gun in school]
The incident occurred around noon at Lee Middle School.
Another student informed the school resource officer about the gun, which was found in the student's waistband when he was searched, Orlando police said.
"A student provided a tip to our administrators and school resource officer," Principal Howard Hepburn said in a call to parents. "The tip was acted on which resulted in detaining the student and securing the weapon."
The gun was described as a .25-caliber handgun with a magazine loaded with bullets.
Parents were alerted of the situation via a phone message from the school principal.
Police said there were no signs that the student intended to use the gun.
"Accidents happen though, even if he had no intention of hurting someone, accidents can happen, and that's still scary," said parent Genna Walters, who told Local 6 she was upset the teen made it inside the middle school with a loaded gun.
The student was taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

Even when it's iced, tea is hot right now. The trendy drink is available in an astounding number of varieties — from green to chai to yerba mate — and every day, it seems, I read about another health benefit of drinking tea.
It's no wonder, then, that tea has filtered into cosmetics, as both an ingredient and an inspiration for names. So I bring you Part I in my series on tea beauty treats: chai-inspired cosmetics. Though none of these products actually contain tea, they definitely pay homage to the tasty beverage.
DuWop Summer Duet Eye Shadow in Chai ($17) is part of a new limited-edition collection. The Chai compact features gold- and copper-toned powders, which are velvety smooth and can be worn together or individually.
For two more tea-licious products,
Philip B Chai Latte Soul & Body Wash ($39) is a creamy shower wash made from cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger root, honey, and milk for a spicy, sweet scent. Just lather up and let it soak in for two to five minutes for maximum aromatherapy benefits.
L'Oreal Colour Juice Stick in Chai Love You ($9.50) is a sheer, satin lipstick that stays put and moisturizes dry lips. After you apply the color, give it a couple of minutes to set; to remove, use an oil-based makeup remover.

Words With Friends, Calligraphy & a Mystery
I recently started playing "Words With Friends," the hit online game that got Alec Baldwin in so much trouble. A high school classmate challenged me to a game, and since it was the holidays, I thought, "Why not?"
I was astonished to learn that it is a direct ripoff of Scrabble. The bonus squares are laid out on the board differently; some of the letters have different point scores; and you can't bluff or challenge (the computer just rejects any word not in its dictionary). Other than that—identical. Presumably, just different enough to avoid a lawsuit. So the question immediately arose: why has this game so thoroughly outpaced the online version of Scrabble?
Having now played both a few times, both on a computer and on my phone, I can report that Words With Friends has a noticeably better playing experience. Rearranging tiles is easy (and well-animated) in WWF, difficult in Scrabble. The chat interface in WWF works as you'd intuitively expect it to; the iPhone's Scrabble app is the only text-using app I've encountered that doesn't use the iPhone's autocorrect feature, and scrolls your chat comment out of the single-line text field as you're typing it. Frustrating! (Scrabble does get a point for allowing you to turn the sound effects off.)
All that—plus marketing—probably explains the old stalwart's defeat at the hands of the challenger. Structurally, they're nearly identical as games. The surface is different though, and a more appealing surface will beat out a lesser one any day. I would rather listen to any given piece of music performed by a string orchestra than, say, a kazoo choir, no matter how gifted the kazooists.
I have been working on structuring my music more consciously; I'm currently half-way through a sonata-shaped piece in four movements for cello and piano, and I think the whole piece is going to revolve around tension between B and C, with the different movements having different tonal centers in relation to those two pitches. I'm quite happy about this scheme, because it gives me a way to tie the whole piece together, gives an arc to it, and lays down something I can push against to get restarted when I get stuck writing it. But I'm trying to keep in mind that that's unlikely to be at all noticeable to the vast majority of listeners who don't have perfect pitch. That can't be what the piece is about, in other words. The structure has to be taken for granted from the listener's point of view, as though the piece were a building. "Wow! I sure appreciate the way the walls hold up the roof!" is not something an architect expects to hear.
By way of further illustration, I'm offering the piece below, Calligraphy Circle, my submission to a competition for one-minute pieces for clarinet and piano (a MIDI realization). The competition specified that the pieces should in some way be about Japan.
Hopefully something like the spirit of the image to the left came across. Knowing that the clarinet part uses the five notes of a Japanese pentatonic scale, transposed all the way through the circle of 5ths from the beginning of the piece to the end, and the piano part does the same thing backwards, doesn't make the piece sound better, does it? Now, the fact that the rhythms in the clarinet part gradually change from very short and very long notes at the beginning of the piece to middle-duration notes in the middle and then back, that you might have heard and appreciated. (If so, thank you! I put that there.)
On an unrelated note—looking at my website's statistics for the year, I notice that my song "Our Lady of the Interstate" (from Dreamhouse, words by Barbara DeCesare) has been streamed more than eight times as much as its next nearest competitor. Eight times! That's not quite going viral, at this level—going vaguely bacterial, maybe—but I'm desperately curious to know what that's all about. Why that song? Who are these hundreds of people who have listened to this song? Or is it one person who's listened to it hundreds of times? (In case anyone other than that one person is curious, here it is below:)

HOUSTON - The Houston Texans franchise won its first ever playoff game last season, but according to a new T-shirt being sold at Old Navy stores, the team also won the 1961 AFC Championship.
"It seems kind of crazy," Texans fan Jeff Richied said. "Doesn't make any sense."
The shirt featuring the Texans logo and team name says: 1961 AFC Champions.
The problem is the Texans didn't win that game because the franchise didn't exist until 2002.
There's also another historical inaccuracy found on the shirt. Back in 1961, there was no AFC (American Football Conference). The conference wouldn't exist until a decade later when the AFL merged with the NFL.
The Houston Oilers were the true champions of the AFL that season, defeating the Chargers 10-3.
All of the Oilers' records and accomplishments now belong to the Titans franchise after the team moved from Houston to Tennessee in 1997.

What is Plasticulture?
Simply put, plasticulture is the combination of two words, plastics and
agriculture. It is defined as the use of plastics in plant and animal
agriculture. It is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it is worldwide in
scope. These plastic products have numerous purposes. In short, plastics make
agriculture more productive and efficient by cutting costs and saving time. They
also conserve precious natural resources, such as water, nutrients, fossil
fuels, and many forms of energy, especially sunlight. In some cases, plastic can
be used to limit sunlight and retain moisture, especially in arid regions.
Plasticulture also reduces competition from invasive weeds and

Before coming to the U.S., Professor Salles performed with numerous Brazilian artists such as Daniela Mercury, Paulo Moura and Wagner Tiso. He has toured extensively in Europe, North and South Americas, India and Australia, both as a sideman and as a leader of his own group.
Salles was a 2009-2010 winner of the French American Jazz Exchange Grant from the French American Cultural Exchange (FACE) and Chamber Music America, and a 2005-2006 winner of the Chamber Music America New Works: Creation and Presentation Grant Program, both grants sponsored by The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. He was awarded First Place in the 2001 Concurso SGAE de Jazz "TETE MONTOLIU", 2001, with his composition The Return of The Chromo Sapiens.
His arrangements and compositions have been performed by The Metropole Orchestra, Westchester Jazz Orchestra, Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic Violas, Meta4 String Quartet, UMass Amherst Chapel Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble I and Studio Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music Jazz Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music Jazz Philharmonic Orchestra, New England Conservatory Jazz Orchestra and New England Conservatory JazzBand.
Felipe Salles' fifth CD, Departure, on the Capri/Tapestry Label, received rave reviews. A four-star review from Downbeat Magazine said that he is "crafting pieces that juggle intriguing complexity with buoyant rhythms and lush colors" and is successful in "translating that approach to a more nimble small band without losing any of the richness or diversity." A featured review in JazzTimes Magazine said, "Felipe Salles blends the visceral and the cerebral on his fascinating fifth album, infusing classical modernist strains with the buoyant rhythms of his Brazilian homeland."
Salles holds a Master of Music Degree in Jazz Studies from New England Conservatory and is the first candidate ever to graduate with a Doctoral Degree in Jazz Advancement from the Manhattan School of Music.

My relationship with food changed when I went to Ghana a couple years ago and worked at a non-governmental organization at Buduburam Refugee Camp. Every day I witnessed hunger, as the United Nations had just stopped handing out food rations only a few months before. I became fully immersed in this culture that is all too often only on the margins of our minds, our thoughts and our prayers. Since coming back home, I realized that if we can't eradicate hunger even in America, then how can we help those in countries abroad?
We don't often want to talk about hunger on the home front, but when it comes to food insecurity and malnourishment, the most vulnerable population is our nation's children. With 16 million children in America at risk of hunger, it's time to take action and bring hope for change.
On Sunday, September 16, at 8pm ET on Cooking Channel, Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign presents Hunger Hits Home, a documentary that delves into the intricacies of battling childhood hunger in America through the perspective of parents, children, educators and politicians. Though we strive to bring fun and excitement to the kitchen, it is time we also turn to the more serious economic, political and social issues facing hunger at home.
Find out how you can help support the cause by dining out at participating restaurants and inviting friends over for a viewing and discussion of the documentary.

You Asked and Aida Answered!by FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, November 19th, 2008
Thanks to everyone who wrote in their burning questions for Aida! As mentioned on a post last week, we just shot a behind-the-scenes piece with Aida on her second season of Ask Aida (for an upcoming FN Dish video) . Because we love our dedicated FN Dish readers so much, we thought it would be fun to give immediate gratification to you guys… that is, use our access to have Aida answer your questions directly!
Now, sadly I only had time to spit out 4 of the 6 questions to Aida during her lunch break (hey, a girl's gotta eat)…but Eddie and Lyndsay, I promise I'll waltz, or at least walk, upstairs to our culinary department and get an answer to your knife sharpening and chocolate questions, as well. OR, if Aida is still on your brain, you can go the longer route, and email the show directly. Maybe they'll pick your question to be answered next season! Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Without further babbling, here are your questions re-posted with answers straight from the horse's mouth (not that Aida is a horse):
QUESTION FROM JEFF: I recently got a grill pan that covers two burners. I want to grill steak or chicken but I tried it once and it set off my fire alarm — small apartment. How can I reduce smoke from an indoor grilling pan?
AIDA'S ANSWER: So, you've got the grilling indoors going on too? I do this all the time! I use a grill pan, a nice heavy, cast iron, grill pan..and so my roommate doesn't get mad at the smell and so my fire alarm doesn't go off, I make sure EVERY window is open, turn my ventilator on, and keep ANY extra fans going on as well…. Its all about getting any smoke out of there ASAP and having cross ventilation.
QUESTION FROM WD: How do you know what herb or spice to use with which meat or dish? Is there a book or anything that has suggestions? So I have an idea where to start and what not to use other trying a tasting, possibly ruin a good piece of meat.
AIDA'S ANSWER: So lets see, you want to know specific herbs and spices for specifics meats… a really good book to turn to is, Field Guide. It's called, Field Guide to Herbs and Spices and Aliza Green wrote it…before you know it, after you read this thing, you'll be a total pro when you walk through your grocery store.
QUESTION FROM NICKIE: Can I make homemade bread and bake it the next day?
AIDA'S ANSWER: So if you've already made your bread dough, I'd recommend just throwing it in the fridge and then what happens is the yeast that's in there actually ages and you kind of get a more complex bread flavor. For most dough, it'll last 12 – 24 hours in the fridge before you bake it off, just make sure you let it come to room temperature first. As far as freezing, you can totally freeze bread dough, just shape it into the shape you want before freezing, but probably not best to do that if you're going to make it the next day. If you want to make it to bake the next week, just cover your dough with some plastic wrap, and you're good to go before you decide to bake it off!
QUESTION FROM LINDA: For those of us who've seen the light and given up table salt for kosher salt when cooking (or sea salt, or fleur de sel, or whatever) what uses *are* there for table salt?
AIDA'S ANSWER: I get this question all the time! And there are still a lot of good uses for table salt because table salt, for one, is a lot cheaper than other salts, and since it's so small, it dissolves beautifully. So especially when you're baking, and doing any kind of sweets, turn to table salt.

IDF Fall 2006 - Day 2: Geneseo, Santa Rosa, Memory Roadmap and Moreby Anand Lal Shimpi on 9/28/2006 3:43 AM EST

porkster - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - linkIf you ask me, laptop graphics is a major issue at the moment.
Intel really needs to bring forth the Santa Rosa chipset to set a new bench level for gfx. x3000 maybe just enough to move upto, but even the power of the gfx intergrations, isn't that great.
Vista will make most laptop's second generation, the day it is released. Reply
johnsonx - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - linkIt's been speculated that AMD would have something to show in a hotel room across the street from IDF as they have in past years. So far it seems AMD is silent this year. A bad sign? AMD not as close on quad-core and/or K8-L as everyone has been hoping?
What's the industry scuttlebutt on this?
smitty3268 - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - linkI was wondering the same thing. Perhaps K8L won't actually be any faster than current Conroes? Reply
fitten - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - link
We would still like to see Intel ditch its aging FSB architecture, but it appears that the process of following in AMD's footsteps is a slow one.
You know... as much as people say this, it's odd that the aging FSB architecture is in the fastest system on the market right now... even faster than "newer" non-FSB architecture. Sure, it may not post as high synthetic benchmark bandwidth and latency numbers but when running applications, it sure seems to do pretty well. Sure, a new interconnect architecture might make it even faster and cooler but simply because the FSB is "aging" doesn't necessarily imply that it doesn't work. Reply
Xenoterranos - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - linkWhile I agree with your point, at the crux of the argument is the question about when FSB will be too out dated. We all know it doesn't scale that well, and it's a testament to Intel's engineering teams that they are able to make it work so well. On the Xeons we see them moving toward dual FSB's, considering that we now have dual core processors, maybe this isn't that bad of a sign for the good ol FSB. HyperTransport is making great strides, and I would love to see Intel direct some of it's considerable brainpower at (co?)developing a new system like that instead of finessing all the power they can out of the one they have. I think they really believe that FSB is the way to go right now, but I would seriously doubt they have no plans to move to something like HT in the future. Reply
fitten - Friday, September 29, 2006 - linkIntel's serial interconnect that they're working on is called CSI. Reply
Clauzii - Thursday, September 28, 2006 - linkI find it kind of funny to see Vista running on MAC OS ;) Reply

Wild Lemon
They look a lot like an orange, but are incredibly small (about the size of a golf ball), and very very sour. In Tamil, we call them "kadarangai" and they are usually pickled with lots of spice and oil. Delicious.
This is my entry to this month's Click: Citrus. Straight from the tree to the pickling jar!

I did believe it was orange and wondering how you pickled it, until I read your post... Now I get it!

Those lemons sound so interesting and I love the idea of pickling them. I wonder if I could find the pickled version in my local Indian food store since I can't get the lemons here. I'll have to look into it the next time I go there. Thanks for the inspiration. :-)

thanks everyone - yes they do look like oranges and my daughter and i happily thought they were tiny oranges until we ate a slice and... had to make some really funny sourpuss faces!! haha!
i found these in Kodaikanal, which is about a 2 hour drive from Madurai.
Nirmala, rasam is a wonderful idea...thanks!

Hi Everyone!
i have been trying to figure out a good place to start the acai berry free trial & was wanting to know if anyone had some thoughts on whether or not the stuff works to lose weight? So far this is the 1 [url=http://acaiberries.zoomblog.com/]article[/url] I have been able to come across that seemed realistic for what my goals are. Thoughts?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/7/2014 (1124 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HOLLYWOOD -- A long, long time ago -- years before Breaking Bad broke big -- Vince Gilligan wrote a script.
CBS executives liked it. Thought they might like to turn it into a prime-time series. But then, as so often happens in the TV business, the project got bogged down in the development process.
Time passed. Gilligan, who had just finished a long run as a writer/producer on The X-Files and its short-lived spinoff, The Lone Gunmen, moved on to other projects. One of them -- Breaking Bad -- became huge. And the script from a long, long time ago ended up on the shelf.
Until now.
With Gilligan occupied by the wrap-up of the Walter White saga and getting his Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul, ready for launch later this year, CBS execs approached former House writer/producer David Shore to see if he'd like to take a shot at turning Gilligan's script into a series.
And now, a dozen years later -- almost 13, actually, because the series won't première until mid-season -- Battle Creek will finally make the giant-step leap from page to screen.
"Yeah, 12 years," CBS Entertainment chair Nina Tassler said during the net's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles. "I love this story -- he came and pitched us Battle Creek; we bought it, and then he went across town (to AMC) and sold another little show, which kind of occupied his time for a couple years. We just always loved (Battle Creek) -- we loved the tone, loved the sensibility, loved the characters. And we actually did a cast-contingent pickup the year that we bought that pilot, but we just weren't able to find the right cast.
"So we've always tried to do it. He's been tied up. This was the first window of opportunity where he was free to really get into a conversation about producing it."
Battle Creek is a unique and somewhat unconventional cop drama that focuses on detectives toiling in the cash-strapped mid-sized Michigan city of Battle Creek. Fighting crime is a difficult job, but it becomes increasingly challenging when your town is basically bankrupt and slashed budgets leave you working with outdated and often out-of-service equipment and weapons.
In the opening scenes of the pilot, Det. Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) is trying to run an undercover sting operation, but broken-down equipment forces his team to use a borrowed baby monitor as a hidden "wire" and a handycam requisitioned from a parent at a dance recital as a surveillance camera.
Needless to say, things don't go well. And when the spooked bad guy -- a rather gigantic fellow -- confronts his would-be captors, a Taser with dead batteries turns a routine arrest into a painful situation.
Agnew has had enough. But just when he's about to send a letter to 60 Minutes asking the newsmagazine to report on the department's deplorable conditions, in walks FBI Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel), who has been sent -- for reasons that remain somewhat unclear -- to set up a field office in Battle Creek.
The local cops have nothing; Chamberlain has everything -- high-tech weapons, first-priority response teams, high-level law-enforcement connections. The one thing the newly arrived fed is missing is a partner, and he decides that Agnew might be just the sidekick he's looking for.
It sets up the framework for an entertaining reluctant-duo comedy-drama.
"All credit for the casting (belongs) to David and the folks who put it together," said Gilligan, who will serve, in a mostly hands-off fashion, as an executive producer on Battle Creek. "These guys (Winters and Duhamel)... are absolutely tremendous together and have great chemistry. I think (when writing the pilot script) I was thinking along the lines of character, which is usually the way I start with an idea. On that original draft of the script, I was thinking of a time-honoured thing that writers do -- they put opposites together. And I think that's at the heart of this show."
It's the fact their characters are so completely opposite that gives the Winters/Duhamel pairing such great potential for conflict and comedy.
"It was a very funny script Vince gave me, and we're carrying that forward," said Shore. "I want to have as much humour as possible in this. I think it's really important to the show, (but) it's got to be grounded. It's got to be real. It's got to come from the characters. It's not a sitcom in any way, shape, or form, but I will be very proud if it's as funny as I think it is.
"I think it should be very funny, and I think these guys did a great job with the humour while keeping it ... grounded and real and believable. I think you'll watch this show even though it's about dark subjects. You'll be scared at times, but you'll have a stupid little grin on your face, I hope, at the end."

Dmitry Pronin, 28, has been indicted for the February 24, 2011 death of his mother, Yulia Pogrebenko. He was charged with first degree murder and first degree assault. He is currently being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Yulia Pogrebenko arrived in the United States at the JFK Airport on February 23, 2011 to visit a family member. She rented a vehicle and drove to the Catonsville area to visit her son. She was later reported missing.
Remains Found in Bay
On June 19, 2011, a boater discovered human remains in the Chesapeake Bay, south of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Anne Arundel County. The remains were sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy. On August 19, 2011, detectives were notified that the remains were positively identified as Ms. Pogrebenko after a DNA comparison.
Her death was later ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/1/2013 (1663 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRISBANE -- A digital rectum examination is no joke for the average male, yet every man who talks about it seems to feel a need to make light of the invasive procedure.
That's fine in private company, but as Australia's "First Bloke" discovered recently, some forms of humour should never leave the locker-room, or the doctor's office.
Tim Mathieson, Prime Minister Julia Gillard's long term partner who is widely referred to as "the First Bloke," made a rare foray into public speaking at the prime ministerial residence in Canberra Monday night.
Mathieson, a good natured man who has "knocked around the bush a bit,'' is not the most mellifluous speaker in the national capital, but he likes to use his position to promote men's health, including the dreaded prostate exam.
Talking to members of the visiting West Indian cricket team about prostate examinations Mathieson appeared to be trotting along well enough, until the rectum hove into view.
''We can get a blood test for it, but the digital examination is the only true way to get a correct reading on your prostate,'' he advised soberly, while Gillard beamed approvingly at his side.
"So make sure you go and do that, and perhaps look for a small female Asian doctor is probably the best way...''
It wasn't a witticism that could be described as Wilde-an, but Gillard's suddenly frozen features signalled she knew it went well beyond the realms of a lame joke.
Tim, who was suggesting smaller fingers might limit the discomfort of the examination, was subject to that tut-tutting now following every innocent utterance carrying the faintest whiff of insult, even when no insult was intended.
And he was merely honouring an edict all who exist in the male universe understand -- never, ever, ever discuss the digital rectum examination without including a humorous reference.
Adult women effortlessly discuss invasive medical procedures with serious demeanours and an absence of adolescent sniggering. But men? Well, they just can't help themselves.
Even male doctors enjoy telling dinner party stories of the comic response prompted by the dreaded gloved finger's movement towards the nether regions.
"What happened to dinner and a movie first?'' is an oldie but a goodie as is -- "any sign of the trapped miners yet doc?''
"Will you send the wife a signed statement that my head is not up there?'' might yet make the Top 10 of rectum rejoinders.
Tim, suitably chastened and downcast, appeared the next day to offer an apology.
"It was meant as a joke and on reflection I accept it was in poor taste," he said.
One of the Canberra Press Gallery's senior journalists, Dennis Shannahan who writes for The Australian, went online to defend a man who was only trying to help.
"Let's just remove this sense of political correctness, get back to common sense, and put good faith comments into context,'' Shannahan urged.
Unwittingly, Tim may have achieved his aim of getting more prostrate examinations than he could have with a thousand town hall speeches.
Medical experts rushed to exploit the publicity and assure Australian males that size doesn't really matter when it comes to probing fingers.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, playing the straightest bat of all, issued a press release commending "Mr. Mathieson" for his fine work in promoting awareness of the illness.
But the PCFA wants everyone to drop the comedy routine.
"Whilst humour is a good way to get men to open up about health issues, PCFA prefers not to use humour in relation to the digital rectal examination.''
Prostate cancer claims the lives of 3,300 Australian men every year.

text: GENEVA (AP) â¿¿ Strong sales of new cancer drugs and a severe U.S. flu season helped lift Swiss drug maker Roche Holding AG's revenue by 6 percent in the first quarter. The world's biggest manufacturer of cancer drugs said Thursday that sales rose to 11.56 billion Swiss francs ($12.4 billion) during the first three months of the year, up from 11.03 billion francs in the same period last year. Severin Schwan, the chief executive of Basel, Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, described it as "a very good start in 2013" and attributed much of the advance to an 84 percent increase in Tamiflu sales during the U.S. flu season. Also helping were two new cancer drugs that the company hopes will mirror the performance of its three top-selling cancer medicines MabThera/Rituxan, Herceptin and Avastin. "The launch of two new cancer drugs, Kadcyla in the United States and Perjeta in Europe, will help to further improve our leading market position in oncology," Schwan said in a statement. The company also said there was strong demand for its ovarian cancer drug Avastin in Europe. Roche, which reports its earnings only every six months, said group sales for 2013 are expected to grow in line with last year's 4 percent increase. Unlike many of its major competitors, the company benefits from having strong sellers whose patents are not expiring soon. But like many other major Swiss companies it has battled against the strength of the franc in recent years, a situation that somewhat reversed in 2012. Roche said the rise of the franc against the yen by 13 percent impacted its group sales in francs by 1 percent. Shares in Roche were trading up 0.2 percent Thursday morning at 226 francs on the Zurich exchange.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/1/2013 (1677 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The biggest and most momentous play from last weekend's divisional playoff game in San Francisco saw Colin Kaepernick break to his right and then burst down field for a 56-yard touchdown run.
Too bad most of the players on the field missed it.
Half of the Packers' defence, including -- crucially for them -- linebackers Brad Jones and Erik Walden and strong safety Morgan Burnett, thought Kaepernick had handed the ball to LaMichael James on an inside run. They all converged on the diminutive running back, who was hunched over a football that wasn't there. Jones actually crouched down to tackle James before he discovered the ruse.
The Packers' defenders shouldn't feel too badly. The 49ers' offensive linemen didn't know exactly what was going on, either on that particular read-option play and others throughout the night.
"About when he was on the 10-yard line," guard Alex Boone said when asked when he realized Kaepernick had kept the ball.
It's a magic trick Kaepernick has been perfecting for the past six years dating back to his college days at Nevada.
The root of it is a simple dilemma -- either the quarterback gives the ball to the tailback or he keeps it. But it's enough to at least make defensive players freeze while they determine if a transaction has indeed occurred.
At best, outside defenders like Walden will crack down to stop the inside run, giving the quarterback a wide-open running lane to the outside.
"It took awhile for Kap to get used to it, but once he did, he was great," said former Nevada coach Chris Ault, who began teaching Kaepernick the trick in 2006. "There's a feel to it -- when to fake, when to keep. He's the right guy to run it. He has sense of the total concept."
Kaepernick said he grew up watching quarterbacks like Randall Cunningham and Donovan McNabb. He liked them, he said, because they were complete quarterbacks who could beat opponents with their arms and legs.
Those quarterbacks also were adept at play-action passing, at disguising plays and at hiding the ball from defenders. Usually, those skills come with veteran experience. Kaepernick entered the league with them.
Offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman noted that being quick and decisive is just as important as sleight-of-hand.
"It's not something that you can easily write on paper to describe," he said. "But it's a matter of pressure. The quarterback has the ball, controls the ball, and when he pulls it, he's yanking that thing out. There is no indecision. He is ripping that thing out with conviction, or he lays it in there gently. So, there's definitely a stark contrast with between the two."
Is there ever a tug-of-war over the ball with running back Frank Gore?
"There's times where he's trying to take it and I'm trying to take it," Kaepernick said. "But at that point, he sees something, so you're going to give him the ball. He's going to be a hall-of-fame running back. He knows what he's doing."
The offensive linemen, meanwhile, have their backs to the play and usually don't know who has the ball. Boone said their assignment is simply to stay on their blocks and let the runners figure out where the running lanes are developing.
"Sometimes I think that Frank does have the ball because everyone's chasing Frank," Boone said. "So I'm chasing Frank... And then I see Kap's got the ball on the other side and I'm like, 'Oh, he has it.'"
Centre Jonathan Goodwin said the defenders often show who has the ball.
"There were a couple of times in that game where LaMichael would run by and the guy didn't try to tackle him," he said. "I figured Kap had the ball. I think on Kap's long touchdown run, LaMichael ran by, and I saw him and I could tell he didn't have the ball."

Free transport for pupils attending faith schools and under fives with special needs could be a thing of the past by the start of the next school year.
Bradford Council plans to reduce the number of children who qualify for assisted school transport in response to upcoming budget reductions of £89 million over the next two years.
A consultation to gauge the views of parents, teachers, governors and other interested parties began on Monday and runs until February 13.
Ward councillors fear families living in more rural areas, such as Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Silsden, will be hit particularly hard by the new policy.
Ilkley Grammar School pupils in Burley and Addingham live further than the statutory walking distance from the school. Mayor of Silsden, Councillor Christopher Atkinson, and ward councillor, Adrian Naylor (Ind, Craven) are urging residents to take part in the consultation.
Coun Naylor said: "I want as many people as possible to be aware of this consultation as it could have a significant impact on all children of secondary school age from Silsden, Addingham and Steeton."
The Council agreed to review its policy last April, after an 11-week consultation, and the findings of that review concluded that a number of discretionary free transport services should now face the chop.
But despite cuts to a number of different groups, pupils who already receive free transport will not be affected.
The results of the latest consultation will go before the Council executive before a final decision is made.
Among the groups who could see free home to school transport pulled are: l Children aged two to five undergoing statutory assessment for a statement of special educational needs, or who already have a statement and who need specialised transport l Pupils who, because of their faith, attend certain schools that are over statutory walking distances, although it will continue for those who receive free school meals l Pupils whose parents have moved house, but decided to keep them at their original school l Pupils who attend a school that is beyond the statutory walking distance from their home.
Excluded pupils attending a pupil referral unit will also have automatic free transport withdrawn unless there are no such units within the statutory walking distance from their home.
For primary schools that distance is 1.5 miles and for secondary school pupils it is two miles.
Kath Tunstall, strategic director for children's services, said: "The home to school/college travel policy was revised partly as a result of the comments made following the previous consultation. Now the Council is keen to hear from a wide range of people on the proposed changes to the budget associated with the revised policy to assist councillors in making decisions."
The consultation report adds: "Those children already in receipt of travel assistance will continue to receive that assistance unless their circumstances change, they move school or college or the Council feels it necessary to make further policy changes."
Dr David Lee, Archdeacon of Bradford Diocese which runs several Catholic schools, said: "We understand the huge financial pressures on the local authority, and we will consider these proposals and respond in due course."
The proposals are available to view at bradford.gov.uk/bmdc/consultations.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/5/2011 (2280 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Is faith funny? Cuyler Black thinks it is.
"I believe that God is a God of joy," says Black, who draws cartoons about the funny side of Christianity.
"When Jesus talks about heaven, he talks about a banquet or wedding, a place of joy and laughter," he says. "Laughter is a part of who God is."
Born into a preacher's family in Ottawa, Black, 44, started cartooning at the age of 10 for a local newspaper. At age 17, he produced another comic strip about high school life for the Ottawa Citizen; it ran for 12 years. Another comic was syndicated from 1996 to 1998 in about a dozen newspapers before he decided to become a youth minister.
"I decided I didn't want to be chained to my drawing table, so I dove into youth ministry," he says.
His first job was at an Anglican church in London, Ont. In 2000, he moved to an Episcopal Church in Richfield, Conn. Cartooning was left behind until 2003, when he drew a few to raise money for a youth mission trip.
"People really liked them," he says of the cartoons, which depicted the funny side of faith. "They asked me to make more."
As demand for his cartoons grew, he pondered going back to cartooning full time.
"I checked out Christian bookstores and discovered there was a humour deficit in the Christian marketplace," he says. "I thought I might try to fill it."
What bothered him most were the greeting cards he saw in Christian bookstores. "They were all pretty much the same," he says. "Often sappy, sentimental, with a Bible verse attached."
He printed up some cards for a local stationery store. They sold well, so he decided to give cartooning another try by starting Inherit the Mirth, a company that produces his unique brand of humorous greeting cards, calendars, books and other products.
He acknowledges that not everyone will appreciate his humour, which has been described as The Far Side meets the Bible.
In one cartoon, for example, a younger bearded man is wearing a robe and riding a skateboard over a building. The caption: "Jesus clears the temple."
In another, an older bearded man is doing his laundry, putting light clothes into the washer and leaving darker items in the basket. The caption: "And God separated the light from the dark."
A third shows two bearded men in robes playing basketball. One stops the other from scoring. The caption on this one: "While playing a lively game of pick-up basketball, Peter denies Jesus three times."
"Not everyone is going to find them funny," says Black of the cartoons. But his goal is not to make fun of Christianity -- just to make people laugh.
"I'm not making fun of faith, and I don't want people to think I don't take church seriously," he says. "I consider my cartoons to be playfully reverent, or reverently playful... I love God. I'm excited to help emphasize an often underappreciated facet of His personality -- His humour."
Black has, in fact, only received a couple of complaints. Which is pretty good, considering that most of his sales are in the American Bible Belt.
Those who aren't religious also seem to like his cartoons, he says. "Many people say to me 'I'm non-religious, but your stuff is really funny,'" Black says.
In addition to his greeting cards, Black has published two children's books and a collection of cartoons called What's That Funny Look on Your Faith? He's also exploring animated e-cards and applications for phones.
"My goal is to encourage Christians to lighten up. We don't need to feel we have to check our sense of humour at the door when we go to church," he says. "I think God wants to use me to help show a side of who He is."

JAMES Norwood has been named in the 18-man England C squad for the forthcoming International Challenge Trophy Group A match with Slovakia in Poprad on Saturday, May 24.
The 23-year-old Forest Green forward has played four times four England C and scored four goals including a hat-trick on debut in a 6-1 win in Bermuda last summer.
He also featured this season in a 1-0 loss against Lativa in Jelgava, scored a penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in Woking and played in the 0-1 win away to Jordan in March.
The Three Lions (who comprise under 23 non-league players) travel to Slovakia for the tie on Saturday 24 May, before moving across the border for a friendly with Hungary at the Szusza Ferenc Stadium in Budapest four days later.
England C manager Paul Fairclough is keen to get his ICT campaign off to a good start against the Slovakian U23 side, but is well aware that it will not be an easy task following their recent 4-4 draw away to current champions Turkey.
There are four new faces in the squad, who will all be hoping to get their first taste of international football in the shape of Barnet defender Andy Yiadom, FC Halifax Town's Marc Roberts and Gateshead pair Marcus Maddison and James Marwood.
England C: Mitchell Walker (Dover Athletic), Andrew Coughlin (Wrexham), Danny Bradley (Alfreton Town), Andy Yiadom (Barnet), Fraser Franks (Luton Town), Marc Roberts (FC Halifax Town), Mickey Demetriou (Kidderminster Harriers), Matty Pearson (FC Halifax Town), Josh Payne (Woking), Marcus Maddison (Gateshead), Jake Gallagher (Welling United), James Marwood (Gateshead), Keanu Marsh-Brown (Barnet), Angus Macdonald (Salisbury City), David Fitzpatrick (Southport), James Norwood (Forest Green Rovers) Elliott Frear (Salisbury City), Louis Moult (Nuneaton Town).

I cannot find the instructions or link to an article I've seen on cutting a lid after making a closed sphere. I've done this with a single, slightly angled cut, cutting 3 semi-circle arches into the lid so it will be easy to replace it correctly. But I've seen something about a way to do this which causes a gallery or offset in the lid that makes it fit perfectly. I CAN'T FIND THIS BY GOOGLING! And I'm ready to cut and want to do it that way!!! Anyone know what I mean and can send me to the instructions??

Thanks, Patti, for your link...another way to do it!
I wonder if anyone noticed that I said I'd chattered the pot, which means that it was already leather hard and then some! I didn't think about that until I started to push in to form the flange. Of course it was way to stiff to work right, and I ended up having to pretty much hand carve the thing! At least it didn't completely ruin the chattering, but it is an experiment I won't repeat on a leather hard pot!

Lindsay Lohan back in rehab
Lindsay Lohan checked herself back into rehab today, but not the Promises treatment facility where she just completed her 45 day program. Her attorney issued the following statement:
"Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay transitioned to outpatient care, she has been monitored on a SCRAM bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."
It's probably smart that Lindsay didn't check back into Promises, since they haven't managed to help a single person. One of these days somebody is going to do a little research and it's going to turn out Promises isn't even a rehab facility, but a used car dealership or something.
NOTE: Check out the woman in the background of this picture. Apparently Lindsay has started befriending actual living cartoon characters.
