TEN community groups from across the borough presented their projects at the Great Lever area forum meeting.
These groups included Bolton Urban Growers, which works primarily with disadvantaged members of the community to help them learn how to grow organic food.
The group, which holds gardening sessions every Tuesday morning at The Southfields pub in Green Lane, Great Lever, was set up by Steve Jones and his partner Jean Urmston.
Mr Jones, who has worked with ex-offenders, said at the meeting: "We want to show ordinary people how easy it is to grow organic food.
"It's a great way of building people's self esteem. I get really touched when I see people get really excited because they've made food from scratch for the first time in their life.
"If anyone wants to get involved, they're always welcome."
Another group to feature at the meeting was the All Natural health group, which seeks to promote the importance of a fruit and vegetable-based diet.
Jay Vora, who co-founded the group with his wife Sheila last year, said at the meeting: "A recent survey revealed that 84% of people in Bolton are not getting their 5 a day - this is not good.
"Our group has been set up with a view to challenging that statistic.
"A healthy diet can offer such benefits as more mobility, less stress, better sleep patterns and more money."
The All Natural health group meets every Thursday evening and Saturday morning at Slaterfield Community Centre in Carrington Drive, Great Lever.
Bolton Wanderers Community Trust promoted its Gr8er Goals project, which involves daytime and night-time football sessions for ages 12 to 30.
Richard Slater, Community Cohesion Coordinator for the trust, revealed that, in the last year, 330 unique participants have engaged in the project.
The trust also offers weekly drop-in and advice sessions for 16 to 30 year olds.
Other groups to make presentations at the meeting were - Sevadal of Bolton, Great Lever and Morris Green Local History Society, Pop In and Learn, B-Musik, HFT Trust Limited, Nu Styla Street and BoltonEnvironmental Enterprise.
The Great Lever area forum meeting took place at Slaterfield Community Centre in Carrington Drive, Great Lever.

NEW CANEY - A man claims he raped a 14-year-old girl to get revenge against her family, investigators said.
Montgomery County Precinct 4 deputy constables said a woman reported in January that her 14-year-old daughter was receiving lewd photographs of a man through Facebook. The man knew the girl's age and sent pictures of his private parts and used a fake name, investigators said.
The mother confronted the man through Facebook, deputy constables said. The man was hostile and suggested she "call Spiderman" for help," officials said.
Deputy constables said they were able to track the man's Facebook account to an Internet protocol address that belongs to a registered sex offender in New Caney. The sex offender was not the person sending the messages, detectives said. Another man used his IP address, officials said.
On Jan. 31, Charles Andrew Capps, 21, went to deputy constables and confessed to sending the photos and messages to the girl, investigators said.
Detectives said Capps also told them he had sex with the teen. Deputy constables said Capps told them that he was angry with the girl's family because one of her relatives allegedly raped one of his relatives about five years ago. Capps said he had sex with the girl to "pay them back," detectives said.
According to deputy constables, Capps said the girl's mother found out he had sex with her daughter and confronted him, which made him angrier. He then created the Facebook page to harass the girl, investigators said.
Capps has been charged with second-degree felony of a child and third-degree felony online solicitation of a minor. He is being held in the Montgomery County Jail with bond set at $180,000.

text: By ANDREW TAYLORWASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Seeking to regain their budget footing versus President Barack Obama, Republicans controlling the House are moving quickly to try to defuse a potential debt crisis with legislation to prevent a first-ever U.S. default for at least three months. The Republicans are giving up for now on trying to extract spending cuts from Democrats in return for an increase in the government's borrowing cap. But the respite promises to be only temporary, with the stage still set for major battles between the GOP and Obama over taxes, spending and deficits. The first step comes Wednesday with a House vote on GOP-sponsored legislation that would give the government enough borrowing leeway to meet three months' worth of obligations, delaying a showdown next month that Republicans fear they would lose. Republicans leaving a two-hour meeting Tuesday afternoon appeared confident that the measure would pass. While it's commonly assumed that the Treasury Department wouldn't allow a disastrous default on U.S. Treasury notes, the prospect of failing to meet other U.S. obligations such as payments to contractors, unemployment benefits and Social Security checks would also be reputation shattering. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other GOP leaders have made it plain they don't have the stomach for it. The legislation is disliked by many Democrats, but the White House weighed in Tuesday with a statement that the administration would not oppose the measure, even though Obama just last week dismissed incremental increases in the debt ceiling as harmful to the economy. "I am not going to have a monthly, or every three months conversation about whether or not we pay our bills," Obama said at a news conference Jan. 14. But what was important to the White House about the GOP proposal was that it separated the debt ceiling from other upcoming fiscal target dates and that it signaled that, at least for now, Republicans were not going to demand a dollar of spending cuts for every dollar of federal borrowing as Boehner long has demanded.

I'm looking for a clever trick to select elements either strictly by their nesting depth, or by both ordinal position and nesting depth. In other words, increment n for each nth descendant of an element (or even nth-of-type) rather than just siblings. In the above example I tried and failed to get that RGB sequence to work across depths.
I've run across this problem a few times. One practical application might be to alternate between horizontal and vertical CSS menus for odd and even submenus by selecting a ul by nesting depth. I attempted this for a CSS menu but it didn't quite work. http://smorgbox.dyndns.org/tests/genmenu.html (structure comes from the HTML tree and otherwise uses generated content / counters... fails hilariously in IE of course.)
I don't really know javascript yet but it would still be interesting to see a pure CSS way.
(first post, hi)
Darn! that would be SO useful.
I've been wanting parent selectors (and a p0ny) for Christmas for a few years now.
If it were possible to create invisible pseudo-elements and assign attributesp...
I had also been looking around, and it seems they are only selectors... they can find an attribute but cannot create one (that I know of). Javascript can, however, AND JS has (for the most part) Perl-compatible Regular Expressions (minus lookbehinds and atomic grouping or something).
One thing I'm a bit curious about is whether it's possible to exploit pseudo-elements for this purpose. Various documents I've read hint at the attr() function having quite a bit of power especially in the CSS3 spec. If it were possible to create invisible pseudo-elements and assign attributes to the generated content as "flags" then you could use attribute selectors to read it back in. I'm not sure though if you can use generated content and read back the content with css or both assign and read attributes from pseudo-elements. If you could then this sort of thing might be possible right now. Sucks that "content:" for arbitrary elements still only works in Opera... and I guess ::outside, ::after(n) and friends still aren't implemented anywhere.
I'm obsessed with this problem! There just has to be a hole in the system somewhere to be abused for some arbitrary Turing-complete computation! :devil:
...It's partial because it works to crawl down through the levels but not back up - the next element at the top level needs to somehow become aware of the color of the previous element at the deepest level...
Also, I wouldn't be surprised that, the deeper you nest these rules, the more differences you'll see cross-browser (for the ones who even support some of these rules... I would be quite happy to have stuff like *:not working everywhere : )
Well I think i'm working towards a very partial and ugly solution to that first example with selectors that kind of look like this:
.box :nth-child(3n+2):not(:empty)>:nth-child(3n+1)
Problem is it requires an exponentially increasing number of rule sets for each added color. With 3 colors it takes 3 additional rule sets per color plus the original 3 totaling 12 to offset the color ordering of each child of a non-empty box.
Still some bugs too. Doesn't quite work yet for every possible pattern of nesting. It's partial because it works to crawl down through the levels but not back up - the next element at the top level needs to somehow become aware of the color of the previous element at the deepest level, or the total cardinality of the subsets of the preceding element modulus the number of colors.
He did say that there was no overhead if the match is unique and you can have as many selectors in front as you like.
I believe the css is applied as elements become available and doesn't wait until its all finished (otherwise putting the css file at the bottom would not be different to having it at the top but there is a delay if [placed at the bottom). Some interesting [URL="http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/help.php#examples"]tests here also](http://stevesouders.com/hpws/rule-css-top.php).
[/quote]I hope he goes over things like image loading, that was in a few other threads and seems a place of voodoo : )[/QUOTE]
There was another link I saw here about background images.
Thanks Paul, but the Souders page only repeats re right-to-left, but there's no mention of CSS going as the DOM is being built. Or I missed it. Or unless that's what he's implying when he says a browser looks for all instances of (last/key/right selector) before working backwards. That would make sense (you can't look for all anchors if the page hasn't finished loading yet).
The video, I have to wait til there's time to open VB to run 'blows, but it looks interesting. I hope he goes over things like image loading, that was in a few other threads and seems a place of voodoo : )
Well, when JS does it, the complete DOM is already there. So JS can easily say, give me that element, then give me it's parent, and then give me the parent of that parent. Because the whole DOM is already laid out, the browser has no problem answering to that request, because it's only a question of simple looking up in the DOM.
For CSS this is a whole other story, because it has to apply while the DOM is building.
So for example if you have CSS rule like.something > .somethingelse > .anotherthing {}the browser has to traverse the partial DOM it has so far upon each and every element it encounters with the class "anotherthing"Since it doesn't necessarily have to be the case that every element with class "anotherthing" has a parent with class "somethingelse", a lot of searches could end up being useless.This is also the reason why typically you don't want CSS selectors with more than two descendants (be it a parent-child-relation using > or otherwise).
Does that make sense?
I wouldn't think that the rendering of the page would have to occur while the document tree is still downloading. CSS doesn't really seem to deal with the entire DOM but just the data structure formed by the tags of all the content. This might go against how the HTTP protocol works... but if you had just that structure you should be able to process all the CSS without having to wait for things like images and other rich media to download - or irrelevant parts of the DOM to be built. Javascript that generates content by inserting elements I suppose might complicate this though.
Then - I have zero knowledge of browser implementation so surely my view is oversimplified...
The only problem really with CSS parent selectors is how they would be implimented, and also it would cause a lot of strain on the browser to work up the cascade, and surely would hurt loading times, and quite frankly, it's not what CSS was meant to do Cascading Style Sheets.
There are instances where having parent selectors would make my life 10x easier, though it's for the best when you think of the downs of having them
Steve Souders touches on this here.
David Baron explains faster css selectors but this is a long listen.:)
The only problem really with CSS parent selectors is how they would be implimented, and also it would cause a lot of strain on the browser to work up the cascade...
What I don't understand is why it's easy for JS to do it. It must be how they are actually run in the browser... they're both working on the same tree (and the browser is their API).
Oh, like my Firefox has :/
Because then every browser would suffer from the FOUC bug
Really? I haven't heard that (I haven't heard anything either way about when CSS starts rendering). Why not wait until the document is loaded?
Isn't this something entirely separate? I know selectors are read from right-to-left (and so to add to your example, it's also considered slower to add element names to your tokens: ul.something > li.somethingelse > a.anotherthing {}would be even worse; after finding .anotherthing, it then looks "up" to see if it's an "a" with that class, and so on).
So, it's looking "up" the DOM, and already checking to see who the parents/ancestors are, so let me use that. If it's already checking that li.somethingelse is a parent of a.anotherthing, then I should have a parent selector already. I haven't been able to create a measurable difference between .something > .somethingelse > .anotherthing {}andul.something > li.somethingelse > a.anotherthing {}even though one should be slower. It's likely apparent on very slow systems or connections, or on very large filesizes, but... meh. Likewise I never feel the penalty of *.

Bonnie Prince Charlie
More than two centuries ago, amid the Jacobite uprising, Bonnie Prince Charlie requisitioned Culloden House as his lodging and battlefield headquarters.
He lived here, on and off, including the two nights prior to the battle.
Charles was hoping to win back the throne for his father, the son of the last Stuart king. He was opposed by his cousin, the Duke of Cumberland, who was fighting to keep the throne for his father, George II.
Both were 25 years old.
The Battle
Charles was out-gunned and outnumbered. He escaped but the Scots way of life was henceforth altered. It was the end of an era and never again was a pitched battle fought on British soil.
The Diaspora
Culloden is a site which changed more than the history of Scotland. It has been estimated that there are some 20 million people of Scots descent living in other countries as a result of the huge diaspora as the aftermath of this one battle.
The battle site became a place of pilgrimage for millions of Scots, both in Scotland as well as those scattered abroad. The most recognizable feature, a 20 foot memorial cairn built in honor of the fallen by Duncan Forbes, 8th Laird of Culloden, became a focal point for battlefield visitors.
Today the 180 acre moor is held in perpetuity for the nation by the National Trust of Scotland.
The Present
Culloden House therefore stands out a symbol, both of Scotland's past, and her present. Its name and situation are redolent of a turbulent and romantic history, its present that of a welcoming Scotland, welcoming to her sons and daughters making the pilgrimage back home, providing the finest of accommodation within a superbly historic setting.

Box Score (PDF)
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball kept trying and trying, but the Quakers could not come back on Penn State Saturday afternoon and fell to the Nittany Lions, 58-47, at the Bryce Jordan Center.
With the loss, Penn falls to 2-6 overall while Penn State improves to 4-3.
Penn held a 9-6 lead with a little more than 12 minutes left in the first half, but PSU ran off the next eight points and never trailed again. That said, the Red and Blue kept hanging around until the final minutes.
Penn State was up, 49-39, with five minutes to play when the Quakers made their final move. First Fran Dougherty was set up by Henry Brooks for a layup, then Jamal Lewis got a steal and brought the ball all the way down for another layup. Following a PSU turnover, Dougherty was fouled. He hit the first of two shots, making the score 49-44 with just over three minutes to play.
That would be as close as the Quakers got. Ross Travis was fouled by Dougherty and hit one of two freebies. Tony Hicks -- who had a strong second half -- drove to the right baseline and fired up a midrange jumper that missed the mark. Then Penn State had a critical possession, as Nick Colella missed a three-point attempt but got his own rebound. That led to Jermaine Marshall getting fouled by Brooks and hitting both shots, making the score 52-44 with 2:12 left.
Penn brought the ball down, and Miles Cartwright attempted to get into the lane to force something. Instead, he was stripped by Marshall, who was collared by Lewis as he went up for the layup at the other end. Lewis was called for a flagrant foul and ejected; Marshall hit his two shots; and PSU got the ball back and got a layup and foul by D.J. Newbill. Suddenly it was 56-44, and this game was over.
Hicks finished the game with 10 points, the only Penn player to score in double figures. He also provided arguably the highlight of the season when he drove the baseline and dunked on one of Penn State's big men with just over 11 minutes to play. Lewis finished with eight points, while Dougherty saw his double-figure scoring streak end at six as he had seven points to go with a team-high seven boards.
Penn struggled on offense against Penn State's zone, shooting 18-of-51 from the field including just 5-of-23 on three-pointers. The Quakers also committed 16 turnovers, which Penn State turned into 14 points. The Nittany Lions also enjoyed a substantial edge at the foul line, going 17-of-23 from the charity stripe compared to Penn's 6-of-10.
Marshall led PSU with 18 points, while Newbill had 13 and Brandon Taylor scored 11. Travis finished with seven points and a game-high eight boards.
Penn is off until next Saturday, when the Quakers host Villanova in their first Philadelphia Big 5 game of the 2012-13 season. The Quakers and Wildcats will tip off at 8 p.m. from The Palestra in a game that will be televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network.
Postgame Notes: Penn fell to 31-16 all-time to Penn State, and 47-49 against programs that currently compete in the Big Ten Conference ... Penn scored 47 points, its lowest total in a game since a 60-45 loss to Temple on Jan. 13, 2010 ...For the second time in three games, Penn's bench scoring topped its starter scoring (24-23) ... Freshman guard Tony Hicks had 10 points, his second double-figure scoring game at Penn ... Hicks was the team's leading scorer in the game, the first time this season a player other than juniors Fran Dougherty or Miles Cartwright led the team in that category ... Dougherty had seven rebounds to lead Penn; he has led the Quakers in that category in every game this season ... Freshman guard Jamal Lewis matched a season/career high with eight points ... Sophomore guard Camryn Crocker set a season high and tied a career best with three rebounds as he played a career-high 27 minutes ... Junior guard Dau Jok had five points, giving him 19 in the last three contests; prior to that, he had 11 for his career.

Esther Fainting before Ahasuerus
about 1510-1525
Wool warp, wool and silk wefts, 347 x 335 cm
Genre: European Art, Textiles
Location: 3rd Floor Stairhall
Accession Number: T24w3
The tapestry depicts a scene from the Book of Esther (in the Apochrypha), in which Esther, the Jewish queen of Persia, pleads before her husband Ahasuerus for the repeal of his decree ordering the massacre of all Jews in his kingdom. Esther swoons on the arm of one of her handmaidens at the lower right – a reaction to the king's initial rage at seeing her before the throne, a violation of his rule that no one come to him unbidden. However, God softened his heart, and Ahasuerus holds out his golden scepter to welcome her forward. Ahasuerus had been urged to issue the decree by Haman, a courtier opposed to Esther and her people; he stands to the king's right beside the throne. In the upper left corner of the tapestry, a messenger brings news of Esther's success to a gathering of the Jewish people. The repeal of the decree, and thus the salvation of the Jews, is celebrated each year as the festival of Purim.
The tapestry is a virtuoso display of design and weaving. Thirty-three figures are depicted, all wearing different, elaborately detailed outfits. The background varies from rich landscapes to interiors adorned with patterned velvets and brocades. The borders are equally elaborate; the stalks of fruits and flowers are typical of tapestries woven in Brussels at this time.

Opener Ed Cowan has backed Shane Watson to lead Australia in the fourth Test against India starting on Friday if Michael Clarke is unfit, describing him as a very different type of leader to the incumbent.
Watson, who lacks leadership experience at Sheffield Shield level, has been at the centre of a series of controversies in the past week.
He has battled poor form, was one of four players banned from the third Test for missing a homework assignment and only just arrived back in the country after his wife gave birth to the couple's first baby in Sydney.
But Cowan said Watson was a lead-by-example type of captain who would do the job if Clarke succumbed to a back injury.
"He (Watson) has probably decided to come back with a full focus and we will accept him because he is such a great player and a good leader," Cowan told reporters on Wednesday.
"He is a senior player around the group and it is important those kinds of players are on board because we need those guys for this team to be the best team in the world.
"He is a very different leader to Michael but we're hoping Michael is fine for this Test.
"He (Clarke) is such a great batsman and we need his runs and his leadership."
Clarke failed to train with the team on Wednesday but he wasn't about to be ruled out just yet.
"It is a day-to-day proposition," Cowan said after training. "He's confident. Michael's expecting to play."
Cowan said the homeworkgate affair had strengthened the resolve within the team as they sought to again become the No.1 Test team in the world.
The lack of leadership experience within the side was evident in Mohali where back-up wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, 35, led the team during short periods when Clarke was off the field having treatment.
"We feel quite buoyed by the concept of moving forward together," Cowan said as the tourists aim to avoid a four-nil whitewash against India.
Cowan said he had approached Clarke, coach/selector Mickey Arthur and team manager Gavin Dovey regarding recent disciplinary lapses within the squad.
"There had been a build-up and there always comes a time where there is a breaking point and that happened in Mohali," Cowan said.
Arthur's hopes for extra leadership to return to the side fell flat on Wednesday as recently retired batsmen Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey ruled out Test comebacks.

The world is filled with things made for a specific purpose. When their purpose has been fulfilled, or their valued properties diminish, there is often some material remainder. Our projects attempt to extract or exploit that history, a celebration of the human and biological labor embedded in materials, as a means of investigating the complex relationships between humans and things, objects and images, representations and their referents. The work is an inquiry into the various forms of being, an elaboration of the western interest in found materials from Duchamp's experiments with ready-mades to driftwood figurines, from Rauschenberg's combines to ethnographic artifacts and religious reliquaries, a symbolic or tactical intervention, an antidote to expansionist economics, alternately apocalyptic and utopian.

Topic: Joy & Grief
Hello to all my dear cc friends that have provided such support over the last year, through my family's journey. My Dad, Jack, was diagnosed a year ago Nov. 3rd. We lost him on March 10th, 2009. While the one year anniversary of his diagnosis has brought many tears, it is also a time of celebration- as we welcomed the beautiful new 8 lb. 15 oz. baby Jack into this world on Nov. 6th. This georgous new little addition was named after Grampa, who I pray is smiling down on him from above.
Love to you all,

Soup for an Insomniac.
Twenty-nine hours. That's how long I've been awake. I could blame the full moon, big as a gleaming white soup plate hanging in the clear desert sky last night. Or the pollen. The hostile spiky spewing of hundreds of junipers rooted round our plucky little casita. Every time I drifted toward the promise of sleep I would sneeze straight up and fumble in the dark for a Kleenex, my throat as raw as Tom Waits' vocal chords after belting forth, Make It Rain. We're talking ragged.
It ain't pretty.
So excuse me if I keep today's ramblings short and sweet. I'm hovering outside my body- nineteen inches to the left of myself. Any moment now, I might spin off with the tumbleweeds and roll down the dirt road to the highway. I might not even mind, if I end up tumbling west, rolling into the City of Angels in my sleep, snoring down Sunset Boulevard all the way to Ocean Avenue and south to Venice Beach where I live a parallel life in an alternate universe surfing at dawn.
And if you see me, give me a sign.
Any sign will do.
As long as you dream walk the same blue wavelength.
And if you see me, give me a sign.
Any sign will do.
As long as you dream walk the same blue wavelength.
But before I spin toward the rutted crooked highway I'll leave you with a perfect soup for spring. Stir it up when the March winds blow, and soothe your winter weary bones.
|Top with spring onions or chives.
Potato Leek Soup Recipe- Vegan and Dairy-FreeRecipe posted March 2009.
We cooked up this vegan dairy-free soup in our trusty old Crock Pot and went to see a movie. Last Chance Harvey. It was the perfect antidote to an ornery pollen infested week. Dustin Hoffman is mad sympathetic and subtle and sweetly sad, and Emma is achingly good- as always. Don't miss it. It's a lovely movie- for grown-ups.
A dash of olive oil
2 leeks, washed, dark green section trimmed, sliced
6 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut up
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups plain non-dairy milk of choice, the creamier the better
For slow cooker-
Drizzle a scant amount of olive oil into the crock. Add the leeks. Stir. Add the potatoes. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Cover with just enough fresh water to reach the top of the potatoes. Cover and cook on High for several hours until the spuds are fork tender. Maybe 5 hours or so.
For stove-top-
Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a soup pot and heat over medium heat. Add the leeks, toss in a little salt and stir. Cook for 15 minutes, till softened. Add the cut up potatoes. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste. Carefully add enough water to just cover the spuds. Cover and bring to a simmer. When soup is simmering, lower heat and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender- roughly 40 to 45 minutes.
When the potatoes are fall apart tender, blend the soup with an immersion blender till smooth. (Or puree in batches in a blender or Vita-Mix- be careful to cover tightly!)
Stir in the non-dairy milk and return to heat, gently heating and stirring. Taste test for seasoning adjustments.
Serve with chopped chives, scallions, parsley on top, if desired.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
This soup is fabulous chilled as well. A fun make ahead recipe for a warm June day.

Nissan's first Titan light-duty pickup was a solid truck when it debuted in 2003, with an annual sales peak of about 87,000 units and a respectable second-place finish in a five-truck comparison test in 2007. But it was left to languish relatively unchanged, and today it's a dinosaur compared with the ever-evolving stalwarts of the segment, such as the new aluminum-bodied Ford F-150. That vast disparity shrinks considerably at this year's Detroit auto show, though, with Nissan unveiling the first of its all-new 2016 Titan light-duty pickups.
Better Late Than Never
The second-gen Titan's gestation has been lengthy. It was originally supposed to debut a few years ago as a rebadged Ram 1500 in a failed tie-up with pre-Fiat Chrysler, but the cancellation of that program sent Nissan back to the drawing board. It eventually engineered the new truck both in house and in the U.S., with the big draw being a deal with Cummins to utilize its new 5.0-liter V-8 turbo-diesel—an all-new configuration for the light-duty segment that Nissan will exploit in pitching its truck against the big sellers from the Detroit Three.
To that end, the 2016 Titan at first will be available only in extrastrength XD guise when it goes on sale later this year, with the Cummins V-8 diesel being the sole engine offering. Nissan will roll out additional gasoline V-8 and V-6 options soon after the XD's late-summer launch, as well as a conventional, lighter-duty version, but details on those haven't been released yet. The diesel will be paired with an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission and will be exclusive to the XD model, which features a stronger, fully boxed frame and sturdier underpinnings than the lesser Titan. The XD will debut as a four-door crew cab with a 151.6-inch wheelbase, a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and either two- or four-wheel drive. All new Titans share some front-end componentry with Nissan's NV-series of full-size vans.
With the XD, Nissan is targeting those in pickup limbo, which is to say those buyers for whom a monstrous heavy-duty rig is too much truck but a standard light-duty pickup is not quite enough. Nissan believes that up to 150,000 buyers per year find themselves in that position. Indeed, with a payload rating in excess of 2000 and max towing of 12,000 pounds, as well as a gross-vehicle-weight rating greater than 8500 pounds—which technically makes it a heavy-duty trucki—the Titan XD fits the bill as a tweener. Call it a light-duty-plus pickup.
The Guts
Despite its unusual positioning, the 2016 Titan XD otherwise is relatively conventional, with an all-steel body, a coil-sprung independent front suspension, and a solid rear axle supported by leaf springs. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 20 inches, the four-wheel disc brakes measure at least 14 inches across, and an optional electronic-locking rear differential will be available for off-road excursions. Surprisingly, however, there's no automatic four-wheel-drive setting for the transfer case, a handy feature that many light-duty trucks have had for years.
The Titan XD is as large as other pickups, measuring up to 78.7 inches tall, 80.6 inches wide, and 242.9 inches long. Eventually, there will be three bed lengths to go with the standard, extended, and crew cabs. Given the truck's steel construction and heavy, diesel engine, curb weights should be about three tons for a crew-cab four-by-four.
While the Cummins diesel's 310 horsepower at 3200 rpm is weak compared with a modern gas V-8's output, its 555 lb-ft of torque at 1600 revs positively shames every other light-duty truck engine on the market. Along with the requisite direct fuel injection and urea-injection exhaust after-treatment, the diesel also features a compacted-graphite-iron block, aluminum heads, dual overhead camshafts, and Cummins's new M2 two-stage turbocharger system for combating turbo lag. EPA ratings have yet to be determined, but expect relatively frugal fuel economy similar to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel's (22 to 23 mpg combined), as well as stout straight-line performance.
Clever Stuff
Along with the fancy engine, the Titan XD features a range of workingman's tech, including an integrated trailer-brake controller, a tow/haul mode and downhill-speed control for the transmission, trailer-sway control, a rearview monitor with trailer guides and integrated trailer-light monitoring, and an available fifth-wheel hitch in the bed. There are also full-length step bars that extend beneath the bed sides, as well as LED taillights and running lights, optional LED headlights, and proximity-key access.
Nissan paid considerable attention to the XD's cargo bed, which now features LED lighting throughout, including for the dampened tailgate. Although it lacks the latest GM trucks' helpful bumper steps, the bed does feature a 120-volt power outlet, Nissan's channeled Utili-track tie-down system in the floor, and lockable storage boxes. Unlike Ram's RamBoxes, which cost extra and are built into the truck's bed sides and permanently reduce the bed's interior width, the new Titan's compartments are integrated into the interior of the bed but can be removed when not in use.
Nissan's Around View Monitor has been fitted into the Titan's telescoping exterior mirrors and surely will help with tight maneuvering. Of course, numerous other driver aids and safety nannies will also be available, including front and rear sonar alerts, blind-spot and rear-cross-traffic monitoring, and hill-start assist.
The Tinsel
While the first Titan strutted onto the scene wearing an original and somewhat polarizing design, the new truck takes a more cautious approach with an amalgam of lines borrowed from other pickups. The styling is still handsome and recognizably Nissan, and the arched A-pillar actually is reminiscent of the previous truck's. The Titan XD also debuts a new "T" emblem inspired by the helmets of Roman gladiators. But you can still see a little Chevy Silverado in its headlights, the Ford F-150 in the grille and front doors, and the Ram 1500 in the bed sides. We definitely could do without the huge, wartlike vents on the front fenders.
Inside, the new Titan's cabin is simple and blocky with a familiar Nissan layout. Interior cargo space is up by about 30 percent front and rear versus the previous Titan's. Although it lacks a true flat floor with the rear seats folded up, overall room in the XD crew cab is cavernous. And the rear 60/40 bench is highly configurable, with both underseat storage and a foldout elevated load floor. Five trim levels will eventually be offered, including SL, the off-road PRO-4X, and the new range-topping Platinum Reserve with two-tone leather and extra glitter.
We can't comment yet on the XD's ride quality or interior noise levels, but Nissan admits it's not ready to play with the latest high-end luxo-trucks from Ford, GM, and Ram. Still, the XD's materials and detailing are decent, the ergonomics are smart, and well-placed shiny bits brighten the Titan's overall vibe. Moving the shifter from the console to the column frees up real estate for plenty of cubbies and cup holders, and Nissan's Zero Gravity seats felt adequately supportive during our sneak peek. Considering our previous Titan experience, two of the best new features are a standard power tilting-and-telescoping steering column and an improved overall seating position. Other highlights include a five-inch LCD screen in the cluster, a Rockford Fosgate audio system, Nissan Connect with navigation and a seven-inch central monitor, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start with temperature control, and a supplemental cabin heater for diesel models.
More To Come
While it's too soon for pricing details, the Titan XD's high-powered diesel engine and added content will surely push its MSRP well north of the old truck's $30K starting point, with well-equipped crew-cab four-by-fours likely to be in the $50,000 neighborhood. That may prove to be a sales headwind—and that's before confronting the issue of diesel-fuel prices in the U.S., which currently are significantly higher than gasoline's. Wait for the gas-burning, non-XD Titan if you want a more affordable version. Although the XD's unique positioning—and powerplant—will make direct comparisons difficult, it may be just the right amount of truck for certain haulers.

Earlier this year some friends opened a cafe and soda syrup factory. Both the soda and the cafe are really, really good. I think you should go there. They make excellent coffee, and the sodas are the best thing you never knew you needed – I try to always have a bottle of cherry and pomegranate syrup at home now. Plus delicious sliders (halloumi is my jam), soda floats, sundaes, and a bargain weekend brunch deal ($15 for bottomless filter coffee, a soda, and scramble) that I would have tried if I weren't still busy eating a million halloumi sliders. It's a really lovely, light-filled space with big communal counters, perfect for writing or reading on your own, or taking over with ALL your friends.

No, that wasn't an emergency skate problem or an ingrown toenail that had Brandon Dubinsky sitting out a couple of shifts in the first period tonight against the Islanders.
That was a second-year center drawing his coach's ire for a couple of sloppy penalties, and forced to enjoy the view as a result. Dubinsky said Tom Renney never explicitly told him why Blair Betts was suddenly in his spot between Aaron Voros and Petr Prucha for those shifts. But it wasn't much of a mystery either, and Renney admitted there was a definite message being sent.
"I just wanted to make sure that Dubi understands there's a way we have to play and at the end of he day, the guy behind the bench is a boss. He knows that. He's a good kid. He'll learn.â€
To the player's credit, he owned up immediately to a lackluster effort.
"He's just doing his job,†Dubinsky said. "I was awful. I didn't come ready to play, at least not for the first period. I just wasn't working hard."
On the other end of the spectrum was Chris Drury scoring his first two goals of the season, the first in less-than-resounding fashion, the second more impressive.
"It's not easy to score goals in this league," Drury said. "So I'll take them off my knee, my head. I'll take them anywhere. And every guy in this room would say the same thing."

James Kennedy Library
Board of Trustees

Present: Angela English, Dan Boice, Sally Brant, Dorothy Digmann, Barb Heitzman, Brenda Ingles, Karen Knepper, Betty Anne Scherrman, Becky Schwendinger, and Library Director Shirley Vonderhaar.
1. The meeting was called to order at 6:45pm by Board President Angela English, who welcomed Gar Kramer and Molly Evers, the recently appointed liaisons from the City Council.
2. Agenda: Betty Anne MOVED "Approval of the Agenda as distributed," which motion was seconded and CARRIED. Ayes: English, Boice, Digmann, Heitzman, Ingles, and Scherrman; Nays: None; Not present: Brant, Knepper, and Schwendinger.
3. Agenda Consent Calendar:
• Minutes of the December 12th Regular Meeting
• Correspondence & Communications: None.
• Librarian's Report for November
• Bills:
December Claims Report
General Library Claims for January: Shirley explained how a postage meter would increase efficiency, considering new postal regulations and the large number of packages that the Library sends. The City had found too problematic trying to keep record of costs for both operations with their meter. Shirley said that we could sign a 48-month contract for $27.00 per month with Pitney-Bowes. Members of the Board wondered if there were postage meters that could record usage by departments and, if so, if the City would consider upgrading their meter, which could save money for both of us. Shirley will research this and report back to the Board in February.
January Credit Card Claims
• Budget Reports:
November City Report (revised): Tricia is still trying to resolve some discrepancies.
December City Report
December Library Report
• Trust Account Reports:

December Report on Programs & Attendance
January Calendar of Events
Schedule for Upcoming Programs: Shirley noted that programming for The Big Read is happening quickly, and would be kicking off on the 13th at the Carnegie-Stout Library. The JKPL has 100 copies of Maltese Falcon for interested readers.
• Grants: No report.
• Friends of the Library: No report.
• Trustee Schedule for City Council Meetings: Angela distributed the schedule for attendance at City Council meetings, and asked members to continue to be faithful in their presence.
Barb MOVED "Approval of the Agenda Consent items, which motion was seconded and CARRIED. Ayes: Boice, Brant, Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, and Scherrman; Nays: none; Absent: Knepper and Schwendinger.
4. In Service to Iowa: Public Library Measures of Quality: Shirley distributed the copy of the report to the State Library, which is necessary for accreditation. Policies that still needed review had been discussed by the Policy Committee and would be addressed later at this meeting. Because of our work on the 2004 Planning for Results, we had completed a Community Analysis which met the requirements.
There was discussion about item 24, as to whether "Library employees have salaries, hours, and benefits comparable with other community positions requiring similar educational preparation and job assignments. After discussion, noting that in some circumstances we probably do, the consensus was to not indicate that we met this criterion.
There was further discussion of service for daycare, perhaps in conjunction with the Regional Transit. Shirley will incorporate this into the long-range plan.
The next accreditation report will be due in three years.
5. Date of February Meeting: The Board agreed to keep the date as February 13th, and that members could come early to review materials.
6. Finance Committee: Angela was working on the Library's presentation to the City Council, slated for January 21.
7. Personnel Committee: Shirley had received nine applications for the two positions and hoped to interview soon, but indicated that filling daytime hours might be a challenge.
8. Furnishings Committee: The Board was updated on roof leakage. The previously identified leaks seem to have been fixed, but new leaks have appeared, and these were probably the result of ice under the shingles. Two smoke detectors had got water into them, and had been disconnected. We need to find preventive measures in order to reconnect the detectors as well as to preserve our ceiling and light fixtures. Shirley will work to set up a meeting with the architect and interested others so that we can start to resolve this ongoing problem.
9. Policy Committee: The Committee had reviewed but not revised Policies 1.C.4 (Trustees), 1.A.3 (Examination of Public Records), 1.C.3 (Citizen Input), 3.E (Service Hours), 3.C.2 (Circulation of A/V), 3.F (Reference Work), 3.G (Non-Library Use of Librarian Expertise), and 5.B (Materials Access) . The Committee was suggesting revisions to Policies 3.D (Financial Operations), 3.C.1 (Circulation of CD-ROMs), 5.C (Displays), 5.E.3 (Multimedia Use), 5.F (Emergency Procedures), and 5.G (Parking). After the Board had reviewed these changes, Barb MOVED, on behalf of the Committee, "That the Board approve revisions to the policies as recommended ." The motion CARRIED. Ayes: Boice, Brant Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Scherrman, and Schwendinger; Nays: none.
10. Strategic Planning: Dan promised a report for the next meeting.
11. Marketing Committee: No report.
12. Meetings and Training:
Upcoming: Shirley noted an upcoming ICN presentation for the All Iowa Reads title, and asked interested Board members to contact her immediately. There is also an upcoming online conference presented by the Iowa Small Library Association, including a workshop on Social Networking, that several staff members plan to attend.
Recently Attended: None.
13. Oral Presentations: Angela assured the City Council Liaisons that we would welcome their input at any time during meetings. On behalf of the Board, Angela thanked Ray Sauser and Dan Willenborg for their faithful attendance at our meetings.
Shirley noted that there are three boxes of Halbach's Dyersville: Its History & Its People still available for sale. Perhaps these will be described in an upcoming column for the Commercial.
14. The next regular meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, February 13th, at 6:45pm.
15. Barb's motion to adjourn was seconded and CARRIED at 7:47pm. Ayes: Boice, Brant Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Scherrman, and Schwendinger; Nays: none.
Daniel Boice, Secretary

HOUSTON - A case involving a man's death in northwest Houston will be referred to a Harris County grand jury.
Hasani Jones, 37, died at Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital on Sunday.
Houston police said on Sunday, Jones went to an apartment in the 1400 block of West Gulf Bank where he had been living, but he had been kicked out a few days earlier. He got into an argument with one of the residents. Both the resident and Jones punched each other and Jones left the apartment, detectives said.
Later that night, Jones returned to the apartment again. He was armed with a hammer and went into the apartment uninvited, said police. He hit the same resident in the head with the hammer, investigators said. The resident put Jones in a choke hold, Jones began to cough and the resident released the choke hold and told a witness in the apartment to call 911.
Paramedics arrived on the scene, and rushed Jones to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Used to be that wearing a suit to work was an act of submission, of following a code. But today it's more like an act of aggression — that in a world in which suiting up is increasingly seen as optional, wearing a suit, much less one of the new breed of slim-cut double-breasted suits, brands you a maverick.

By PA Independent Staff
HARRISBURG – The Corbett Administration finalized a contract to privatize the management of the state lottery this week, but bigger issues are on the horizon – including a long-awaited transportation funding plan and a renewed effort to also privatize Pennsylvania's state monopoly on liquor stores.
Judging from this week, 2013 could be an exciting year in the state Capitol.
State moves ahead to private lottery manager
Pennsylvania is on its way to securing a private lottery manager that promises billions of dollars in new profits from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
But discussions about the implications of this arrangement are far from over.
Camelot Global Services has committed to earn more than $34 billion in lottery profits in a 20-year period. Profits benefit programs for senior citizens across the commonwealth.
State officials say this is $3 billion to $4.5 billion more than what the state would make in the same timeframe.
Gov. Tom Corbett said the deal was in the best interests of Pennsylvania's seniors.
"An apples to apples comparison, taking into account Lottery's own projections for Keno and Internet products, clearly demonstrates that private industry investment and expertise will grow Lottery profits to support a growing senior population," Corbett said in a news release.
Should the company not meet its goals, there are termination clauses in the contract that kick in after three years.
But before it's put into action, Attorney General Kathleen Kane will renew the contract for form and legality, according to the administration. Kane's office has 30 days to complete the review.
Ranking Democrat lawmakers have reached out to Kane citing violations of federal law inside the contract.
"The PMA poses serious financial and legal questions that have yet to be satisfactorily answered by the Corbett administration," reads the letter.
Camelot has said its business plan involves getting more Pennsylvanians playing the lottery, as well as expanding game operations to include more terminal-based sales and Keno. The goal is to get "a lot of people playing a little, rather than a few people playing a lot," said Camelot managing director Alex Kovach at a hearing earlier this week.
Liquor privatization possible in 2013
After years of failure, there is a chance 2013 will be the year Pennsylvania ditches the state monopoly for liquor sales.
Sources who have attended a series of meetings with the administration in recent weeks to help craft a still-unfinished proposal are hopeful that an announcement will be made in the next two weeks – before Gov. Tom Corbett gives his annual budget address, scheduled for Feb. 5.
Several people with knowledge of the discussions say the administration is taking the lead on the issue this time, a notable shift from how Corbett has handled privatization during his first two years in office, when he would make public statements of support but often follow that up by telling lawmakers to put a bill on his desk before he would discuss specifics.
Signs now point to the governor taking the lead, with an announcement planned for the week of Jan. 28.
The administration has been tight-lipped about the privatization plan, but Eric Shirk, a spokesman for Corbett, said there are several goals including "consumer choice, increased convenience and getting the state out of the liquor business."
New row officers sworn in
Swearing-in ceremonies on Tuesday marked the first day in office for both Attorney General Kathleen Kane and Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.
Kane, who was the top vote-getter in the November elections, told a crowd of about 500 people in the Pennsylvania State Capitol rotunda that she was going to work to protect the rights and safety of Pennsylvania's most vulnerable citizens, like children and the elderly.
"I look forward to working with you, starting today, to do the people's business, fighting back against public corruption no matter where it exists, protecting our streets from violent crimes and our children from predators who seek to them harm," Kane said.
DePasquale, a former state representative from York County, said that one of his first orders of business will be a performance audit of the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure that Pennsylvania's drinking water has not been compromised by natural gas drilling.
He's already reached out to DEP Secretary Michael Krancer on the matter, and said the audit will begin next week.
Also sworn in Tuesday was Treasurer Rob McCord, who is beginning his second term. McCord talked about how his office has led the state in innovation, citing the $1.6 billion in investment returns that his office earned for the commonwealth, and cuts to wasteful spending.
McCord's name is often tossed out as a Democrat challenger to Gov. Tom Corbett in 2014. After his inauguration, it was reported that McCord would likely make his decision within the next six months.
Corrupt Philadelphia Traffic Court targeted by Senate Majority Leader
A top lawmaker in the state Senate wants to do away with the corruption-plagued Philadelphia Traffic Court.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Chester, announced Friday his intention to introduce legislation that would close the traffic court and transfer its responsibilities to the Philadelphia Municipal Court.
The Philadelphia Traffic Court was the subject of a stinging review of by the state Supreme Court last year that concluded the court had "two tracks of justice – one for the connected and another for the unwitting general public."
The recent Supreme Court report said those judges "routinely made, accepted and granted third-party requests for preferential treatment for politically connected individuals."
A 1997 review of the court described it as a "judicial backwater" and a good place to stash party hacks, generate patronage jobs and earn favors by fixing tickets or throwing out cases, Pileggi said.
State Sen. Shirley Kitchen, D-Philadelphia, said more study was necessary before the court could be abolished entirely — including a determination about whether the Philadelphia Municipal Court could take on more cases.
Unemployment up to 7.9 percent in Pennsylvania for December 2012
Pennsylvania's unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 in December 2012 from 7.8 in November, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor.
With the increase, Pennsylvania ended the year slightly above the national unemployment rate of 7.8, capping a year in which the state's rate fluctuated from a low of 7.4 in May to a high of 8.2 in September.
The state added a total of 38,000 jobs during 2012, according to the Department of Labor.

Jessica Simpson To Expand Her Fashion Empire
The singer's line will now include denim.
-April Daniels Hussar
"A girl's booty needs to look good."
And how!
Jessica Simpson to the rescue, ladies. The curvy starlet is expanding her hit fashion line to include a line of jeans – as well as a collection of lace-trimmed blouses, cardigans, boyfriend blazers and faux fur vests to go with them.
"Because I live in denim, the fit was the most important," Simpson said. "A girl's booty needs to look good. I was inspired to create a great denim line that complements the entire Jessica Simpson lifestyle brand – a jean that becomes a girl's best friend, that everyday go-to pair."
The line, which will sell in about 1,000 department store locations as well as online at jessicasimpsoncollection.com, will include boot-cut, flares, skinny, and straight – something for everyone. Jeans will start at $49; tops and jacks will cost between $29 and $79.
Let's hope they're as cute as they are affordable! (NYDailyNews.com)

Hilston Avenue residents Heather Haycock, Councillor Donella Russell, David Connop and Keith Morrison.
THIS winter' heavy rain has caused residents from one Halesowen road to call for the sandbags.
Homes have been flooded in Hilston Avenue and Dudley Council is set to look into creating flood defences to prevent the regular damage to households.
Belle Vale councillor Donella Russell helped organise sandbags for the flooded residents from Dudley Council.
She said: "The bad weather and freak rain storms has brought misery residents.
"Hilston Avenue residents are getting fed up of their houses and garages getting flooded due to the rain."
Despite the council cleaning the drains regularly there is now demand for a new system to protect the homes.
Cllr Russell said: "When there is flash flooding the drains have been unable to take away the vast amount of water that arrives with it flooding out the residents houses.
"We need to look at making a change to the pipelines and find a place where the water can be filtered away to from the properties.
"Whilst we are looking into finding this sandbags have been provided to residents to reduce the impact of flood damage to properties."

2013 All Star, Spring Extra, and Spring Select Rosters
Congratulations to all who have been selected! The links for All Star, Spring Extra, and Spring Select Rosters are below.
We've had a strong number of players interested in playing on Spring teams this year. It's unfortunate that we cannot accommodate everyone who has expressed an interest in post season play. We hope that anyone who was not selected for a team this time around will keep trying and keep playing, including participation in our Spring Scrimmage Program.
Pending enough volunteer coaches & field space availability, we hope to hold our Spring Scrimmage Program beginning in March for those who want to continue building their skills during the Spring. Check the website in late January for more information.
Please be sure to read the Spring Parent and Player Agreement which is a pdf document that can be downloaded on the About Our Soccer Programs page under the Info & FAQs tab. It contains important information about what is expected of both parents and players during the Spring.

This online memorial was created in loving memory of Helen Mauller, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Helen's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Helen forever. Make sure to visit our awesome slide show!
Preceded in death by her loving husband William David Mauller, Helen in survived by her four children William Mauller Jr., Ruth Campbell, Terri Case, and Donald Mauller; as well as, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Helen was known for her beautiful smile, joyful laugh, positive attitude and amazing spirit; she loved to talk, but was also a good listener. Helen was loyal and kind, the best kind of wife, mother, grandmother, and friend a person could ask for. Helen was a hard worker all of her life, beginning with volunteer work while her children were young. She loved teaching her Sunday School Classes and volunteering for her church, she was a wonderful Girl Scout leader and was most proud of being one of the very first volunteers for the Headstart Program at its inception. In fact, her entire life comprised of helping people in ANY need at ANY time in ANY way. She made the decision to return to 'real' work at Sylvia Hat Company in downtown St. Louis and relished surprising people with hats of all colors and variations, and enjoyed the camaraderie she shared at the innovative chapeau company. She then began work closer to home at Florissant Valley Community College and received awards and accolades for over 20 years of continuing service in the Science Department. Her cohorts sang her praises and once again, Helen was the 'go-to-girl' when it came to doing whatever was necessary to bring smiles and lift spirits to her workers and friends. Speaking of friends, she had a group called themselves "The Girls" and for as long as anyone can remember, they attended the Loretta Hilton Theater every single month to take in the current play. Helen also loved to travel, together she and her husband Bill traveled the entire world. They loved to take in the sights and eat the local cuisine, they were blessed to have many outstanding adventures together. While Helen will be so incredibly missed by her family and friends, it goes without saying that all are thankful that Bill and Helen are now back together where they belong.

I wasn't quite sure what to get for the upcoming week's meals, but a sale on tri tips got me fixated on some Mexican grub:
I marinated it in a vacuum sealed bag for 2 days in Goya Mojo Criollo and some V-8 juice. Little did I know that the juice, while merely passable for drinking, makes quite the decent marinade:
The tri tip was seasoned with a mix of salt, black pepper, onion, and garlic powder, then placed on the Egg with a batch of refried beans:
Red Oak was used for smoke:
Due to getting distracted, I missed the mark a bit, but this wasn't very important since I planned on frying the meat for a bit of caramelization:
The empanada dough was made earlier in the morning:
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1/3 cup ice water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Next time I will add more butter to the mix.
After the dough chilled for several hours, some of it was used to roll out the dough for the empanada:
Onions were browned, followed by some diced tri tip, then everything was piled onto the empanada dough, along with monterey jack cheese, walla walla sweet onions, roma tomatoes, and cilantro:
The empanada was cooked indirect at 325 degrees:
Dinner is served:
The next night I prepared grilled tri tip taquitos. The corn tortillas were flash fried in beef tallow just to make them very pliable (while adding fat):
They were topped with the tri tip, montery jack cheese, green onions, and chopped beef bacon, rolled then placed on the Egg indirect style at 425 degrees:
Dinner is served:
The next night the leftover tri tip and tortillas (shaped into taco shells) were cooked down in beef tallow:
Tacos for dinner:
The next night I made tostadas by frying the tortillas in beef tallow and toppings used the tri tip, smoked refried beans, sweet onions, roma tomatoes, monterey jack and cheddar cheeses:
For dessert I made strawberry empanadas:
Strawberries were cut and cooked in a mixture of water, the juice of a meyer lemon, and brown sugar:
The empanada dough was rolled out and cut:
The stuffing was added, empanadas rolled, and cooked indirect on the BGE:
Dessert is served with a nice scoop of french vanilla:
The marinated tri tip was something that simply needs to be repeated. It was so rich with flavor, it made my eyes roll back into my head. The empanada dough was very nice, but I should have rolled it out a bit thinner and added more butter to the dough. The cooking of the tri tip and and the tortillas in beef tallow made me appreciate how things used to be done. It's healthy, full of fat soluble vitamins, and full of flavor. It will be gradually replacing my use of vegetable oil.

"PREDATORS who prey on the vulnerable need to be brought to justice."
Those are the words of a top policeman who is leading Dorset's crackdown on internet paedophiles.
Acting Detective Superintendent and Director of Public Protection Chris Naughton, pictured inset below, who is heading up the newly-formed Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT), said there will be 'zero tolerance' for criminals using the internet to participate in child abuse.
The unit, which draws in specialist officers from across the force, has already put one offender behind bars.
Mark Luscombe, 29, of Verwood, was sentenced to five years in prison in January for sexual offences against children.
Since the POLIT launched in November last year, there have been 37 crime referrals, and six people have been charged with sex offences.
Det Supt Naughton said: "There are three strands that we are keen to reinforce.
"The first is that of internet safety. This is where it all begins, and where paedophiles can find their young victims.
"The internet is an absolutely wonderful resource, and people should be able to enjoy it. But awareness of what goes on online is vital. There are people out there who want to groom and sexually exploit children, and the message here is simply do not let them have that opportunity.
"The second message is to those who download images of children online. There are many who can't connect what they are doing with abuse, but by accessing that image of a child being abused, tortured or raped, the offender is revictimising that youngster.
"If you download images, we will find you and we will bring you to justice. We'd also like to tell anyone who has sexual urges towards children to get help now.
"Get control of the situation before it becomes too late."
Officers drawn into POLIT work exclusively for the unit, and Det Supt Naughton admitted they face the darkest corners of the internet each and every day.
All have mandatory health monitoring sessions to help them cope, but the policeman said that it is "the most rewarding line of police work when a dangerous offender is prosecuted".
"This is a priority for Dorset Police, and it is very important to each and every one of the officers who work in the team," he added.
"We are all dedicated to tackling this menace."
Martyn Underhill, Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "One of my highest priorities for this year is to raise greater awareness of cybercrime.
"Wherever I go in Dorset, the public have made it quite clear that they are worried by cybercrime and online fraud.
"In last year's community crime survey, the public in Dorset listed cybercrime as their number one concern. The government and the south west region of police forces have identified that this is the most significant emerging threat to our residents. Equally important are the issues of sexting and identity theft.
"Cyber education cannot start too young. It is important that we teach children of the dangers on the web and to use the internet safely."
Snared in US police sting
Mark Luscombe, pictured, was sentenced for eight counts of making indecent photographs of a child, five counts of distributing indecent photographs of a child, sexual activity with a child and arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.
He also pleaded guilty to another offence of possessing an extreme pornographic image in court.
Luscombe was snared after asking an American officer – posing as the father of an 11-year-old girl – to assault his daughter live via webcam for him.
He 'paid' for the request with around 50 images depicting the abuse of children.
Pervert made over 20,000 vile pictures and films
A Bournemouth man will be sentenced today after admitting making more than 20,000 indecent pictures and movies of children.
Benjamin John Ashman, 36, pleaded guilty to 30 counts relating to child and animal pornography at Bournemouth Crown Court in March.
Ashman, of Hyde Road, made nearly 20,000 indecent images and almost 650 movies at levels one to five – the most extreme – and also had in his possession 46 extreme pornographic images and 31 movies involving animals.
He also admitted taking and distributing an indecent level one image of a child, and distributing four other lower-level images.
Abuse streamlined live over a 'hidden web'
A 'HIDDEN' internet used by criminals to access live online child abuse will become a growing threat over the next three years.
The first nationwide assessment by the National Crime Agency (NCA) found that paedophiles will increasingly use the 'hidden web' – internet content that is not accessed by popular search engines – to access images of child abuse.
The report said: "The online streaming of real-time child sexual exploitation and abuse is a growing threat.
"Cyber techniques have proliferated and are used ever more extensively by wider serious and organised crime groups to commit 'traditional' crimes."
The head of professional practice at the College of Policing, Giles Herdale, said 6,000 detectives will be trained this year specifically in tackling online crime.
He added: "The National Crime Agency's report shows that as the internet has changed how many people communicate, organise and trade, it has also brought criminals new opportunities.
"The speed at which these changes have taken place has challenged the police service to ensure that our officers and staff are equipped with the right skills to tackle crime.
"The College of Policing is taking steps so that knowledge around cybercrime is seen not as a specialism in policing but as a core part of any investigator's knowledge."
And Dorset Police is keeping up with constantly evolving technology to tackle paedophiles, with social media sites such as Facebook, as well as chatrooms and Skype, often used by offenders.
"This wonderful new age of technology does have a dark side," said Det Supt Naughton.
"That's why we're here. We want to pull the veil back and expose those who operate in the shadows."
The officer was unable to reveal tactics for dealing with the hidden internet, but said: "We are keeping up with those who use technology to abuse children."
Worldwide web content that is not part of the 'surface web' – also known as 'deep web' – can only be accessed using dedicated software.
The term refers to a collection of all websites and databases that search engines like Google don't or can't index, which is many times larger than the web as we know it in terms of volume of information.

Conflicting reports claim Apple may have returned 5 million faulty iPhone 5s, factory denies
0. phoneArena posted on 21 Apr 2013, 11:54
As you might expect, right now this report is little more than deciding which side you want to believe, and we may never get the real story. There are conflicting reports coming out that say Apple may have had to return 5 million faulty, malfunctioning, or damaged iPhone 5 handsets, but the factory denies such reports...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

75million iphones sold in the past 6 months. Apple's not dying anytime soon.
2. Luuthian (Posts: 297; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Of course not! Just because their stock falls doesn't mean they're going to die! They've actually been profitable despite everyone's grumbling. They're just not as profitable as they once were.
If Apple is on a death knell it would take YEARS. I mean crap, look at Nokia and HTC. People keep summoning them to the grave but they've been around for time still. Companies don't just up and die. it takes time.
5. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I agree with you! But nobody is gonna summon HTC to the grave right now, because the One is here, and many peoples are craving for that! Nokia, hmm.........we need to wait for the Catwalk and EOS before saying anything.
But now, BlackBerry is the target, many people keep summoning BlackBerry to the grave. But that doesn't help, none of these manufacturers are gonna die, including Apple! They are all safe right now! And to the people who said that "die Nokia" "go to hell BlackBerry" etc. Those peoples have a evil heart! Why not give them a try to "stand up" again?
And yes, I agree with you, companies don't just up and die. It takes time. :)

Very good post Xperia. Companies dying means people losing their jobs, families suffering, and a negative impact on the economy. Who wants that? +1

I agree with you Dark!
22. Timmehor (Posts: 599; Member since: 09 Mar 2013)
Very true, really the first company to die off (for now) is Motorola. Nokia was on the edge of losing it, with -$1 billion. But Nokia were lucky to have huge power in the patent, navigation, and telecommunications market which were built over the last 30 years. There's is more chance of HTC dieing off because of the lack of power and strength in other markets, HTC are really only smartphones, IF they were to lose grip on their smartphone standings they would be in HUGE trouble. Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Sony ALL have power/strength in other tech markets, meaning if they were to lose the smartphone market, they would have enough revenue coming in from other markets to keep them alive and make a comeback.

I agree with you!

Don't be hurry.. Just wait and see what is gonna happen. Who knows whether htc one will also be another flop by htc....... Be pateint lol
7. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
Very well said. If one company dies, means someone is going to buy the company. Just like Motorola. :)

Motorola? (sigh)
It "disappeared" in my country!
Here's the link, remember, there are two sites, just click the (left one) Motorola Mobility "enter site", then there will be a letter!

I guess someone needs an eye check if they can't tell the differences between the s3 and s4...now am not saying they don't look similar cause they do just like any other phones in the same brand do like lumia brands and droid brand etc but in Noway do they look the same as the 3g and 3gs did and 4 and 4s did and most likely how the 5 and 5s may look the same...let's not forget when apple went from the 4 to the 4s the jump was only camera and chip, the s3 and s4 has a new but similar design, new and higher resolution screen, faster chip, new camera, bigger battery etc so the s3 to s4 is a bigger jump than what apple did in 2 generations from the iPhone 4 to the 5, if u list all changes Samsung did in 1 year to what apple did in 2 years, Samsung phone has more changes.

The deny all 5 million?
17. amats69 (Posts: 1523; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
for me..Defective units is actually normal esp on the first to 2nd batch of units sold...it happened to all mobile manufacturer (actually not only mobile manufacturers)... the big deal for me here is if it is true then apple should admit it not to deny it (thats if its true)..they should give a valid explanation to the customers and most important is they should replace it with new one (after sales service is really important)
18. Ninetysix (Posts: 2675; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
RTFA next time.Apple did not comment on the article. All the information is coming from Foxconn.

dude no need to say bad words coz it doest even made you smart... thats why i said "(thats if its true)"

This doesn't really have anything to do with Apple's customers.
23. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
LOL You HTC fanboys are hilarious. Some manufacturers have very little defect rates because their quality control is really high. Just because it is common for all HTC phones to be full of defects with the first couple of batches it doesn't mean that is true for everyone. Some manufacturers test their products properly unless they are rushed to meet a deadline.
Besides, 5 million is totally not normal, that is a ridiculously high defect rate, even by HTC standards or lack of.

Disney: Miley Cyrus' back? BAD! Barely legal lingerie models? GOOD!
Okay, before everyone flips out, these chicks are LEGAL. Don't worry, I wouldn't send you guys to jail – yet. Anyway, I was about to pack it in for the weekend when I stumbled across this little piece TMZ uncovered. It turns out Disney, who balked at the mere showing of Miley Cyrus' bare back, is in the business of selling lingerie in China with girls made to look like a jail-bait bonanza:
TMZ has turned up Disney ads marketing lacy, sexy lingerie by models who are made to look underage. They're hawking bras, undies and lacy boy shorts. They are nothing short of seductive. The photos are being used by Shanghai Zhenxin Garment Company to sell Disney clothes in China.
Now that's good old-fashioned hypocrisy. In the meantime, I can't really get turned on with Winnie the Pooh sitting on that chick's shoulder quietly judging me. C'mon, Pooh, a man's got needs. Like that time you and Eeyore got stuck in a snowstorm. Dude, don't act so surprised. You had his tail stuck to your stomach for a week. No joke. None of us had the heart to tell you. Plus it was pretty damn hilarious – donkey fucker. BURN! Aww, I kid. Let's go find Christopher Robin and get him to steal beer from his dad's fridge.
