Anger and frustration from the families of 9/11 victims after the military trial for self confessed mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohamed.
Got off to a really chaotic.
Start over the weekend the five co conspirators.
Repeatedly disrupted at the arraignment hearing shouting at the judge quoting from the Koran praying out loud during the courtroom.
Appearance they were reading magazines.
Making airplanes Paper airplanes in there.
Whispering constantly.
With one another according to all of these reports and how about this one of the female defense attorney is where -- job.
Asking prosecutors to honor the defendants' religious -- by having all the women in that courtroom dressed quote modestly.
Here is 9/11 famine victim Debra Burlingame.
They're trying to.
Create chaos so that they can go out and say that the -- military commissions are chaotic they are creating the chaos.
That's pretty incredible science -- John -- His brother Peter BC pictured here was killed on September 11 he was a father of three he was 42 years old was -- work that day camp FitzGerald.
And jobless watching that hearing.
On Saturday and he joins me now good to have you with this time I noticed doesn't get any easier but I industry what was your minds he sat down today the -- finally arrived.
As you start to watch all of this what's going through your mind.
Knowing the detainees and who they are and what they're about I knew it was going to be -- -- I had a feeling going in that this is going to be along.
Process and they are going to take every ample opportunity that they could.
Two to make it a zoo and make it a hard day for the family.
Did you tell the judge had no control over this whole situation no I thought the judge did a great job that you did.
It I really -- that the judge tried his best despite repeated efforts.
By the detainees to act up.
And their defense council to try to argue motions and things that were not appropriate for the arraignment he repeatedly.
Told them today is not the day.
But they kept trying so I think he did every.
-- -- there's no control over the courtroom and I knew you watched it so you know how to judge was behaving but.
You said that the defense attorneys were basically cross examining yes to judge that sounds to me as if the situation is really out of whack.
Yes I was told that this is not a conventional arms he's not conventional civil rights for military -- right military tribunals opera it'll definitely.
So they were given a little more leeway to get away with four hours was almost four hours of them grilling the judge on his qualifications.
That's me was one of the most irritating data part of the day.
We we just want to play this is -- -- -- -- from the defense attorney who made the issue in terms of dress.
And someone in the courtroom that she claimed her of her clients -- was dressed in modestly.
Here's what she had -- -- If because of somebody's religious beliefs.
They can't focus.
When somebody in the courtroom is stressful a particular way.
I feel it incumbent upon myself -- his counsel to point that out and ask.
Some consideration from the prosecution.
For example -- -- -- -- and have no idea what I mean how.
How how on what where did he ever gonna get any resolution in this case yet another.
I do I think that were finally back to the right venue this is three is waiting there should have been done for years ago that part of the Brothers began as everyone remembered him and it was stopped -- -- -- doesn't -- -- -- was gonna happen here and our final and that's where and that's -- change -- mean obviously the defensive change tactics because for three years ago they were ready to plead guilty end right except execution.
Now having great.
Now obviously -- that there -- there in the long haul for this to drag this out as long as possible.
And whoever they tend to have a stage to continue in the Jihad against America -- you know and when you look at these men in this round.
Knowing what happened to your brother them.
You look at the face of police said Mohamed -- Knowing that he is that for fast you know proud to be the mastermind what happened that day when you deal that.
You just you keep your brother's memory there and in your hand and you think you know you're doing this for him you know you're sitting in that -- -- courtroom in -- in -- they had on his memory.
And no matter how long this process takes.
I think -- -- -- on -- -- members are are going to be in.
Till the end to make sure that justice is finally achieved and I think now we finally got the wheels and moving along again to see that happen.
And one of the fascinating it's Wednesday before we -- I asked you if you.
-- know if they ever have an interaction.
Because if they did coordinate this chaotic and then the other day.
And you you said they were talking to each other so much as almost as if they were drying out their time together -- -- -- that they could communicate yes.
I think what happened was the way they were sitting there ring tables in front of one another clean had a Mohammed was in the first table Bennett -- in the second I think they took the lead from collegiate Mohammed as to.
Refuse to speak to not.
But the earphones in to listen to translation.
And I think that once they followed his lead.
They knew if they were up today north of -- and he's got time for every moment that have a little to communicate untimely Owens thank you I hope you'll come back however slightly this goes on behalf -- -- -- -- and thank you haven't invested John -- right.

Report from LinuxWorld 2008
The event evolves
BySome of the excitement, and much of the usual fanfare, were missing from the 2008 LinuxWorld event in San Francisco. Show-goers wondered whether they had ever seen a LinuxWorld with so little splash and flare. And yet, splash isn't everything. In the press rooms and business meetings, the industry seemed poised to launch a new era of appliances, netbooks, and virtual everything.
The first thing to notice at this year's event was the lack of big booths. Some of the usual monster booth renters weren't even at the show. Red Hat quit coming a couple years ago, and this year, Novell was missing, although openSUSE and Fedora were both present in the non-profit section known as the .org pavilion. IBM, Oracle, and Intel scaled their presence down. Cannonical/Ubuntu actually filled up one of the bigger spaces, offering training demos and a look at upcoming Ubuntu-based minis.
Conference tracks covered some of the usual favorites, such as Security, Virtualization, Desktop Linux, and Licensing. This year also included tracks for Building Mobile Linux Applications and Quick and Dirty Development.
The Buzz
IBM kicked off the first day with the tantalizing announcement of an agreement with Novell, Canonical, and Red Hat – yes, all three of them – to provide Lotus Notes and the Lotus Symphony productivity suite for desktop Linux systems. The details of the pact were unclear. Several visitors pointed out that this newfound friendship would work much better if some PC hardware vendors also agreed to go along with it, and indications pointed to big deals in the works, although no one was quite ready to announce anything on the hardware side. The annual desktop Linux panel discussion even had some awkward moments, as reps from HP, Dell, and Lenovo came up silent on questions of upcoming initiatives.
Virtualization continued to command huge amounts of brainspace. The virtualization pitch isn't even buzz anymore – it is just what everyone is doing, from embedded developers to high-performance hardware platforms. Cloud computing was the latest riff on the virtualization theme. The GoGrid cloud system won the Best of Show prize at the LinuxWorld Product Excellence awards, and all corridors echoed with pitches on the possibilities of cloud computing.
Another new development at this year's show was the arrival of the YouTube ethos, as geeks, vendors, editors, and journalists walked around with small cameras capturing moments on video vignettes. We brought our own camera crew through to chat with some promising open source projects at the .org pavilion, and we captured the thoughts of some leading Linux community managers.
Discussion of who wasn't at the show was peppered with some thoughts about some of the exhibitors who actually were in attendance. Along with the usual gallery of server room tools were vendors with products such as office chairs, foot inserts, and varnished wooden Mobius strips. Some of these vendors wouldn't have found a spot on the midway in the bumper years. Times are changing. Perhaps most indicative of the atmosphere was one vendor who has been around before, but was never commanded quite so much attention as now in the fading din of the lost big booths: Dice.com – the people who find new jobs for out-of-work geeks.
Netbooks are looming, desktop Linux has never looked brighter, and the world of the virtual data center brings still more importance to the admin end of the Linux industry, but the world is changing – and LinuxWorld sure is changing.
The rise of the OSCON show, which is only a few weeks before LinuxWorld, no doubt took some of the energy and geekiness away from LinuxWorld, which has has always walked the line between a business show and a community event. If they call us all together again next year – which I hope they do, though I'm not actually sure they will – I hope the planners make some changes to bring some excitement back to this important annual Linux event.

That should do it.
They've had their draft, made their trades, added free agents, signed their No. 1 goalie to a long-term contract, and on Friday, the Bruins announced they've signed center Patrice Bergeron, their most complete player, to an eight-year contract extension.
Bergeron, who has one more year left on a pre-existing deal that carries a salary cap charge of $5 million, moves into the new deal in 2014-15. He'll make $52 million over the life of the deal, which runs through 2021-22. The salary cap hit will be $6.5 million per season, which -- a little surprisingly -- will only rank third on the Bruins' salary list. Goalie Tuukka Rask's new 8-year deal carries a $7 million annual hit, and captain Zdeno Chara is on the books for $6.9 million.
Bergeron, who joined the Bruins as an 18-year-old in 2003-04, turns 28 on July 24. He'll be 36 years old when the contract expires, so presuming he completes the deal and is still in Boston (there's a no-movement clause in the deal), he'll have spent half his life under contract to the B's.
With general manager Peter Chiarelli saying during Rask's conference call on Thursday that he feels he's finished for the time being with player acquisitions, deletions, etc., there's just one item left on the summer checklist: Completion of Development Camp, which runs through Sunday at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington. See www. bostonbruins.com for practice times. It's open to the public, and free.
Mike Loftus has covered the Bruins for longer than he can remember. He uses his blog to keep tabs on them, but he also likes to get outside the Garden to cover other hockey stories. "One of the coolest things about covering hockey in this area is the number of players who take the game past the high school/prep level," he says, "many in the hopes of one day reaching the pro level."

changed oil yesterday (puraltor pure one filter), rotated tires, checked front diff fluid level/color. A bit dirty but I'm not going to mess with it now. Sea foamed the intake manifold- actually didn't get much white smoke.
Had the gaskets to replace oil filter mount gasket, but decided I'll mess with that at next oil change. I think most of my oil is leaking from there.
Saturday replaced distributor cap and rotor. She's ready for the road.
Earlier in the week I replaced O2 sensors and air filter.
Fuel economy had taken a dive recently so I'm hoping that the O2 sensors, cap and rotor make difference.

07-07-2013, 07:43 PM #44Added "new headlight housings" to the to-do list. Yesterday, I replaced my mom's oxidized headlight housings with some new ones on her 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. After installing them, I parked my truck and her car next to each other in the street (at night) to see how far out they should aim. What I really discovered is how dim and washed out my headlights are. Her new lights are very bright, clear and direct. Mine are pretty blah. My headlight housings don't appear oxidized but after comparing beams, mine need to be replaced.

I averaged over 17MPG with 5 people and the suburban loaded to the gills with gear, averaging about 75 MPH on the Interstate with very windy, hilly conditions. I was VERY happy. The O2 sensors and cap and rotor were definitely worth the investment. With over 200K miles on the beast she was awesome (though I did have a shock issue and the tranny shifted VERY hard for several miles in Yellowstone, but that went away).

Here are some of our fave's to get you started on your crochet crusade!
Missoni is one of the most well-known high fashion designers coveted for their crochet pieces. We just can't get over this reversible crochet triangle bikini! You may not want to take it in the water, but it's certainly a stylish piece to wear lying out by the pool.

Why ads?Since it was just introduced last year, changes are minimal for the Prius C in 2013. All but the base model receive upgraded material for the dash, while the steering wheels in top-line trims are now wrapped in SofTex, a leather-like material.
The 2013 Prius C is the smallest vehicle in Toyota's family of hybrids. With a starting price under $20,000, this 5-passenger hatchback also represents the least expensive way to get into a Toyota hybrid. Yet like its bigger Prius brother, there's another number that's sure to impress: 50. That's the combined miles-per-gallon rating for the Prius C, which attains an even loftier 53 mpg in the city – the area for which this hybrid gets its "C" designation. The Prius C isn't the least expensive or most fun-to-drive subcompact out there, but its sterling mpg figures stand well beyond even traditional fuel misers in this segment such as the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Mini Cooper Hardtop, and Hyundai Accent.

Evolution and Faith in Latin America, Part 2
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology (3 entries)
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe (3 entries)
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Wheat that Springeth Green
As we remember the narrative that takes us from Good Friday through Easter morning, the image of a buried grain of wheat invites us into the story rather than just describing what happens in it.

Vegan Salad-In-A-Jar makes a healthy and portable lunch
With as many large green salads as I eat, sometimes it can be a struggle to keep them interesting. When I want to add a little excitement I always return to the same basic principles.
I often add plant protein in the form of tofu, beans, or nuts; sour ingredients like olives or mild pickled peppers; and finally something sweet like fresh strawberries, dried cherries or raisins.
To keep your washed, chopped lettuce extra fresh for an extended number of days in the refrigerator, a popular website (http://www.salad-in-a-jar.com/skinny-secrets/salad-in-a-jar) demonstrates how to pack it very tightly into wide-mouth glass jars. Although this site also recommends using a vacuum packing machine, I use no special equipment, and just manually stuff washed lettuce into the jar, filling with as much lettuce as will fit. I swear by this method and use it religiously.
In the January/February 2013 issue of VegNews Magazine, salads-in-a-jar are taken one step further, with a fun way to create a "hearty lunch that's resolution approved and a joy to eat."
To build your own beautiful salad in a jar, start by pouring your favorite salad dressing into the bottom of the jar. Then add your most sturdy ingredients like baby kale, beans, or chopped carrots. Continue to layer with colorful lettuces, other chopped vegetables, and fruits or nuts. Top your salad with the lightest or most delicate ingredients.
Photo by Sam Gach
Use any ingredients you wish in the quantities of your choosing. Just be sure to allow enough room at the top of the jar to shake your salad upside down at lunchtime.
With infinite combinations, you can easily have a different, very colorful, crisp, and healthy salad every single day.
(Recipe concept inspired by "Put A Lid on It" in the January/February 2013 issue of VegNews Magazine.)
Although these salad ingredients are suggestions, substitute freely with your colorful sliced, chopped, or diced favorites, layering in amounts that fill a quart-size jar.
Splash of salad dressing of your choice
Chickpeas or kidney beans
Red cabbage or baby kale
Green romaine or red leaf lettuce
Red or green pepper
Baby cucumbers or celery
Roasted or pickled beets or chopped tomatoes
Mild pickled peppers
Baby spinach
Olives or tofu
Chopped walnuts or almonds
Raisins or dried cranberries
Start with a clean 1-quart-size wide-mouth glass jar with a lid.
Pour salad dressing into the bottom of the jar. Layer the most sturdy salad ingredients into your jar. Next, add layers of lettuces and other colorful vegetables of your choice. Top your salad with the lightest and most delicate ingredients. Close jar tightly with lid.
Keep jar refrigerated, or inside of an insulated bag until lunchtime.
To serve, pour the entire salad into a large bowl. Or, if preferred, simply turn jar upside down, shake vigorously until dressing is evenly distributed, and enjoy salad directly from the jar.

On Sunday night, instead of having the usual roast I went out for a meal to a new Indian restaurant in my town, Simply Masala. I have been meaning to try it for a little while now, it looks modern and fresh and I have heard good things about it so I happy to hear that we had a table booked for 8pm on Sunday.
The menu did not have the normal dishes that you would expect from an Indian restaurant, there were curries but they were interspersed with pancakes and wraps. I chose to have vegetable samosas for start which were ok but apparently the chicken samoasos were amazing, packed full of meat rather than potato. All of the other starters were huge and full of flavour. The Aloo Tikka Chat starter which was boiled potato cutlets, chickpeas and mango chutney was rich with flavour and texture.
For the main I chose to have Masala Dosa, an apparently traditional dish of crispy rice pancakes filled with potatoes and served with coconut chutney and sambar. It was a little dry but full of vegetables and potato. Maybe a bit more moisture was needed but it was a definitely a hit.
Another dish that we ordered was the fish curry, marinated fish in traditional spices cooked slowely in curry sauce. It was apperently amazing with layers of flavour and fish that melted in the mouth. Perfect.
The naan bread was not greasy but fluffy and light as were the popadoms which were crisp and fresh. Everything was cooked fresh there by the chef and the staff were very polite and attentive (maybe a little too much - personally I hate it when they keep coming back to pour the rest of your drink out for you)
All in all a really interesting and modern take on the adopted British dish of curry. I am definitely going to go again for a meal and will try a curry dish next time. Everybody came home stuffed full and saying how delicious the food was.

The town commissioners in Wade have decided to make no election changes to their terms or board makeup.
Last week, the commissioners voted 3-2 to keep the size of the town board and its two-year terms unchanged.
The commissioners had considered extending their two-year terms to four years and staggering their elections so that everyone was not up for re-election at once. More recently, they discussed adding a sixth commissioner to the five-member board. They had asked the town attorney to research and report back.
Last week, a proposal to make those election changes was voted down.
Town Clerk Cindy Burchett said the sentiment was the town was too small to justify adding another board member.
The northern Cumberland County town had 556 residents in the 2010 census.
Voting for the status quo were Joe Dixon, John "Butch" Nunnery and Ray Edwards.
Voting in favor of the changes were Noelle Kendrick and Johnny Lanthorn.
Mayor Huell Aekins votes only to break ties.
Dixon, who is 68, has been on the town board for 18 years.
"As it is now, it's been running smoothly for 20 years or more," he said. "I was thinking we need to get more people in the community."
Aekins, like the town commissioners, is elected every two years in odd-numbered years.
Every municipality, including Fayetteville, Hope Mills and Spring Lake, follows the same election format, although some cities and towns in the state do it differently. Some cities have four-year, staggered terms.
The Fayetteville City Council has talked about making election changes, too, including whether to ditch the municipal primary held every other October. The primary has poor voter turnout. But the council has made no changes since 2001, when three at-large seats were eliminated and the mayor was allowed to vote on all matters.
Applications continue to pour into City Hall to help fill two impending vacancies on the board of the Fayetteville Public Works Commission.
According to sources, the additional applicants include Lyn Green, a past member of the Cumberland County Board of Social Services, and Dave Wilson, retired former president of Fasco Industries' consumer products division.
Terri Union and Lou Olivera are retiring from the PWC board in December. The board has four members, and the City Council is expected to make appointments by the end of this year to replace them.
Others who have applied include Wick Smith, Susan Monroe, Nat Robertson and Bill West.
According to media reports last week, state Rep. David Lewis, a Republican from Harnett County, is running to become the House majority leader next year.
According to The Associated Press and a Raleigh-based political newsletter called The Insider, more candidates for leadership posts are announcing their intentions following the Nov. 6 elections that increased the GOP's control of the General Assembly.
Outgoing Majority Leader Paul "Skip" Stam, a Republican from Wake County, has announced that he won't seek another term as majority leader. Besides Lewis, other Republicans in the running include Reps. Edgar Starnes of Caldwell County and Ruth Samuelson of Mecklenburg County.
The Cumberland County Republican Men's Club will meet Tuesday at Morgan's Chop House at 6 p.m., with the business meeting starting at 7. The buffet costs $18.
This will be a "Turning North Carolina red" celebration in honor of GOP candidates who won. To reserve a seat, contact Lin Laubat 308-3005 or by email at email@example.com.

Wallace wonder try lights up dogged Quins win
4:55pm Saturday 26th October 2013 in Sport
A contender for try of the season from Luke Wallace and an opportunist score from Jack Clifford secured a first home Premiership win of the season for Harlequins with a 24-3 triumph over Sale Sharks.
Quins had edged in to a 9-3 first half lead through Ben Botica before Wallace collected a Nick Evans cross field kick to touch down in the corner for the game's decisive score.
It capped off a fine team move from director of rugby Conor O'Shea's men early in the second half that started with a break from hooker Dave Ward deep in his own half.
The ball went out wide to Tom Williams, who passed back inside for replacement number eight Clifford, and when the ball was finally recycled Evans kicked for Wallace to add the scoring touch.
It was no less than an injury ravaged Quins deserved and after Botica's fourth penalty and Clifford's charged down score, they had the maturity to close the game out for the win.

Hang tight!
Recipe by TIFFANY WEAVER
"These are fabulous and easy. I am asked to make them over and over again. The combo of cream cheese and bacon is wonderful!"
Watch video tips and tricks
12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 (8 ounce) package whipped cream cheese
12 slices bacon, cut in half
Absolutely Deeelicious!!! After making these twice, I've determined to use a whole slice of bacon to wrap the pepper. I had cream cheese oozing out with half slice. This fixes that problem and still bakes up crispy and perfect! If you don't want to buy pre-whipped cream cheese, just beat a block of the normal variety on high with your mixer...works just as wonderful!
At first, I thought I had a disaster on my hands. I checked the peppers only after 30 minutes baking at 400 degrees and already my bacon that was wrapped on the bottom was burning, and some of the bottoms of the peppers were so soft they were almost liquid-like. The cream cheese had practically browned and it was crispy like. I tasted one and it tasted allright, and my husband liked them...but there were some I had to throw away because the bacon was burned too bad. I checked it only after 30 minutes, if I had waited till 45 minutes after I probably would have wound up pitching the entire batch away. I think I am going to have to reduce the temp on the oven as well as watch it more closely. From what I observe though, most of the reviews did not have this problem? I have had these peppers before when my best friend made them, and they were amazing. I hope to achieve that next time.

I prepared 40+ halves and there weren't any left over...Everyone raved about them. I modified the recipe a tad by adding finely shredded mild cheddar to the whipped cream cheese--and instead of wrapping the peppers with bacon I but real bacon bits into the cream cheese. I also topped the stuffed peppers with finely shredded cheddar and then baked for 40 minutes (or when the cheese began to look like a finished topping). Again, these were a huge success..You betcha I'll be making these all the time--PLUS--this is a great finger food for low-carbers!!! Enjoy!
YUM!!! I made these last night and my boyfriend and I loved them. We actually compared them to our current favorite appetizer. We will be having these all the time. So easy too. I used regular cream cheese instead of whipped and it worked fine. i also added a little bit of shredded cheese which did hold in the cream cheese, tiny bit of cayenne pepper and the bacon. I ended up turning it up to 425 degrees for the last 10 minutes to get the bacon crisp. Yum Yum! thank you!-UPDATE I have made these little yummy's at least 25 times now. Everyone loves them. We cook them on the BBQ on foil when we go camping all the time.
Yummy and easy. I could not believe in cooking these that you lose most if not all of the heat, but still sooo tasty.
Instead of regular cream cheese, use pineapple cream cheese. This adds a wonderful sweet taste to the spicy peppers.
Practically perfect in every way. Quick and delicious. I recommend a surgical mask along with the latex gloves while seeding: a lungful of capsaicin will make you cough.
This recipe is awesome! My mother-in-law makes it every Christmas Eve and it goes great as an appetizer for Seafood gumbo! Get those Cajun juices flowing... After she wraps the jalapenos in bacon, she rolls the poppers in breadcrumbs before baking. Deeeeelicious!

Played a little bit of Overlord today since I got the complete pack yesterday. It's pretty fun and looks pretty cool. I'm only getting about 45FPS though, I expected more, but it's still smooth and all:
Hmmm . . . Is it just me, or do the MW2 screens look worse than MW? Don't get me wrong, I thought MW looked great . . . it just seems like MW2 is a step back in the visual department
Yeah, screenshots really don't do this game justice. Here's an awesome video from Maxishine, the actual gameplay looks very nice.
these are screnies from OFP dragon rising + farcry 2! http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g122/mafia_boy/ofdrscreens.png http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g122/mafia_boy/Farcry2screenshot5.png

i've lowered the settings to 4x AA and everything on High still looks great. My Mitsu Eclipse GT: (This is after the race i just did which will be below this screenshot) the water effects are really nice: Damn car so dirty lol:

Educators are licensed in Wisconsin based on completion of a state-approved educator preparation program. Because there are statutory requirements governing educator licensing in Wisconsin, all educator preparation programs in Wisconsin that are approved by the State Superintendent have incorporated all the statutory requirements as stated in Wis. Stat. 118.19 and Wis. Admin. Code PI 34.
It is likely that an approved educator preparation program outside of Wisconsin will not have the same statutory requirements in their programs. As such, applicants for Wisconsin educator license who completed their program outside of Wisconsin will not have fulfilled the statutory requirements for Wisconsin educator license. For applicants who are otherwise eligible for a Wisconsin license based on their credentials, they may be issued a license with stipulations.
License with Stipulations
If an educator is issued a license with stipulations, they will receive a stipulation letter along with their license certificate. The license holder should retain the stipulation letter. A few things to note about license with stipulations:
- Licenses with stipulations are non-renewable.
- All stipulations must be satisfied or removed during the 5-year of the license period, before the expiration date of the license, in order to obtain a regular educator license (without stipulation).
- Educators who hold Initial Educator License with Stipulations must remove all stipulations and successfully complete a PDP before they can advance to Professional Educator License.

Junior Quarterback Geno Smith broke the West Virginia passing records for completions (38), attempts (65) and yards (463) all previously held by Marc Bulger in the Mountaineers loss to LSU Saturday night, but his newly etched place in the record books was the furthest thing from his mind once the final ticks had came off the clock. When asked if he took away any moral victories by engineering the West Virginia offense to 533 yards of total offense against the highly rated LSU defense Smith replied. ...More...

Browsing Physiotherapy by Author "Smith, Mario"

Frantz, Jose M.; Smith, Mario (Faculty of Community and Health Sciences, University of the Western Cape, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Strategies for improving the publication output of academics are an essential component of research directives at tertiary institutions. The aim of this report was to highlight the effects of a writing retreat as an intervention strategy used by a university faculty to improve academic publication output. The strategy used included a structured programme over a period of three days guided by a facilitator. METHODS: The report uses a qualitative design to report the effects of the writing retreat on the participants. RESULTS: The major themes that emerged were reviewing and critical reading, writing for publication, personal growth and confidence, dedicated time, peer mentoring, programme structure and facilitation, and future directives. CONCLUSION: From the feedback obtained, it is evident that strategies such as a writing retreat provide academics with an opportunity to produce articles that are a benefit to the authors' career trajectories as well as the institutional publication profile of their university.

Oct. 4, 2011 — We are your number one source for local news.
Unroll the paper and lay it out on your kitchen table or office desk and take a look at what we offer in your hometown newspaper.
Now, imagine your life without the paper.
The newspaper is a snapshot of life as it is lived in your town.
We often are the first word, last word and every other word in between on all manner of key issues affecting your life and livelihood.
While other media may provide a headline and a key detail, newspaper stories can provide the full and continuing coverage necessary for fully understanding important issues.
Your newspaper offers three main purposes.
First, we take on the watchdog role on government.
At the local level newspapers have played the lead role in exposing corruption and making life better for all of us.
Think about what Thomas Jefferson said.
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
Recently the state of Florida defeated a bill that would allow local governments to bypass newspapers and post public notices on websites instead.
One factor in the decision is the neutrality and independence newspapers provide.
If not for newspapers, who would make the rounds at City Hall?
Who would routinely check the courthouse, the police station or sheriff's department?
Who would analyze local politicians' messages?
You can depend on the news team to be trustworthy, knowledgeable journalists who deliver an overview of local events and what they mean to all of us.
Newspapers also do more to contribute to a community's sense of oneness than just about anything else.
Through news, editorials, letters, sports coverage, meeting notices and advertisements, the community has a feeling of interconnectedness.
What is the first thing you look at when you look at the paper?
The obituaries, the birth announcements, the arts, entertainment, the police logs, city county news or the best deal in town?
We have it all and we will continue to strive to bring it to you better each week.

WAWARSING, N.Y. -- The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has promised state and Ulster County officials another $12.5 million to cover damage in the town of Wawarsing related to leaks from the city's Delaware Aqueduct.
Department spokesman Ted Timbers said on Thursday that the agency is putting $5.5 million toward grants that will be available to impacted Wawarsing property owners, so they can make repairs, and $7 million toward extending the Napanoch Water System to include 275 more properties.
Timbers did not say what drove to decision to provide the money.
State Sen. John Bonacic responded cautiously to the announcement.
"It's great news, but anytime you're dealing with the DEP, really it's not over until it's over, so I'm looking forward to their formal announcement," said Bonacic, R-Mount Hope, whose 42nd Senate District includes Wawarsing.
A $3.8 million property buyout program was established by the state earlier this year, and city officials then agreed to pitch in $3.7 million. The state buyout program has come under fire, however, because it's based on property owners' incomes, while the city program has drawn objections because it's based on each property's distance from the� aqueduct.
Bonacic said he's looking forward to seeing the final documents regarding the city's $5.5 million in repair money� because that amount could cover most properties impacted by leaks.
"This should get it done for most of the homeowners," the senator said. "The credit goes to all those people who kept fighting and suffering for all those years."
Residents in Wawarsing have complained for more than 10 years that leaks from the Delaware Aqueduct, which carries water to New York City from the Rondout Reservoir, were causing problems in their homes and on their properties,� but it took until 2010 for city officials to admit a possible connection between the leaks and local flood damage.
In March 2009, the environmental group Riverkeeper reported that New York City memos spanning 20 years reported leaks had amounted to about 35 million gallons per day in lines buried at depths of 300 to 1,550 feet.
A U.S. Geological Survey report released earlier this year stated leaks from the aqueduct have raised the water table, causing water to come through basements, get into septic systems and create sinkholes.
Ulster County Emergency Management Director Arthur Snyder said in June that 68 Wawarsing property owners had applied for the buyout programs but that four were deemed ineligible because they were too far from the aqueduct.
Ulster County Legislature Chairwoman Terry Bernardo said the additional funding from the city should be credited to homeowners who have pressed city officials to take responsibility for the leaking aqueduct.
"We hope this will be a model for better Ulster County and DEP relations in other areas," the Accord Republican said, referring to local dissatisfaction with the city releasing muddy water from its Ashokan Reservoir into the Lower Esopus Creek.

I love that John has created outdoor luxury that is comfortable and perfect for every day enjoyment. He really wanted to design a space that was styled, even though it's outside, so he brought pieces that were designed for "indoor" to the outdoors. The mirror, the Trina Turk pillows and the porcelain garden stool all add elements of colorful richness to an otherwise monochromatic palette.

Hey Guys and Gals
I have been working on my new band template. I would like to have some feedback before i upload it to TF. Just general feedback positive or negative i do not mind.
Here is the template: Band Template
Cheers Lester
You should definitely invest in better hosting. Also bottom menu is not working, there's lack of visual hierarchy. In my opinion it's too messed right now, but with good polishing it has chance.
Hey Thanks for the reply.
Would you be able to give me a more detailed review on the things that you mentioned?
What do you mean bottom menu not working? My hosting is pretty fast.
What do you mean by lack of visual Hierarchy?
What is messed about the template?
Damn no one is here?
Prolly all ya guys are still recuperating after the x-mass food and booze hehe, same here.
Maybe i will check back a bit later.
Cheers ya'all
Is there anyway you guys would be able to give me some feed back on my new template?
Just want to hear some ideas or any feedback before submitting to TF.
One thing that may not go so well with the themeforest reviews is that music is being played when you visited this site. This can be seen by others as a nuisance and a big turn off. Personally, I find it distracting and a little shocking as I was playing my own music in the background and this interfered with it. I understand this is a music site, but the actual focus is the content and the music is distracting and competing with the content for attention.
I believe the problem is not with your hosting but with the site in general. What I mean is that it is a little slow. Furthermore, your bottom navigation is experiencing some hiccups, which is why the user "sunlifter" commented as not working. The bottom navigation works, but only slightly as it is unresponsive at times.
Hope this info helps
Thanks for the feedback. The reason for loading a bit slow is probably the background images because they are fairly large.
As for the bottom navigation what exactly happens because i have tested it with different computers and different browsers and it was fine no hiccups.
The music player can be turned off in the js so it does not start on load but i thought since it's a band site it would be ok to have the music load on start. As i said auto start can be turned off, not a big deal.
What i was looking for is more feedback on the different pages, what i mean by this is the content enough or someone may have a suggestion to add something to the existing pages.
As for the menu i dunno what is happening but i will definitely take a look at it.
The site runs best in Chrome i did notice the animations being a bit choppy in IE and FF but chrome they are very smooth.
Ok I fixed or hope i fixed the menu issues. I think it was the z-index on a few things just had to arrange them properly.
Let me know what you think.
I updated my template. let me know if you have any feedback before i submit it to TF.
Here is the template: Band Template
Hey All
Is there anyway someone could give me some feedback on the template?
I have finished it as of today added some more functions and pages.
Let me know what you think.

The past few months have been busy: work, kids, the new dog, travel back to Canada, etc…. but during all this activity we have been researching and looking at getting Solar Panels installed in our house. Today our Solar Panel Installer finished the installation of our solar panels on our roof and believe it or not I am excited about this.
As a sidenote – if you are looking at getting Solar Panels in Melbourne, I can highly recommend Glen Clark. Out of all the people and companies we spoke to, he was by far the most thorough in providing details and information to us. It may be good sales skills, but he was the person who wanted us to make an informed decision instead of just trying to get our money. He delivered what he said he would and in the timeframes he said as well – we have been really happy going with Glen for this job.
So how did we end up getting solar panels on our roof? A few months ago, we received our electricity bill and it was higher than normal, and by higher than normal I mean almost double what is statistically has been over the past 2 years. So when we called our Energy Provider to ask about the bill and see if we can find out what happened – we pretty much were told "that's what the bill is, tough luck" – or at least that's how it felt anyway.
This one conversation with the Energy Company's Customer Service triggered the thought in my head that I did not want to be in such a one sided arrangement. It got me thinking that the price of electricity is not going to go down, it is a limited resource that is only going to go up and as something that is controlled by a handful of energy companies they really are calling all the shots in terms of pricing and service. So in the end, thanks to my Energy Company for opening my eyes to this.
We got 20 panels on our roof which should bring our electricity bills to close to $0.00 and who knows we may be able to generate enough power to sell kW back to the grid. I like that we are going to save money by installing these solar panels, I think they they are an investment that is going to pay for itself, but the great thing about going through this exercise is that it has caused us to really look at our electricity usage and see how we can be more efficient in our daily lives. Two big examples are that the beer fridge in the shed has been unplugged and the dryer is being replaced by a clothesline.
The savings are great, but it is also good to know we are being green and doing our small part to help the environment.

Looking good can lift your spirits and make you feel more attractive. But how do you boost self-esteem when fatigue, limited mobility, poor eyesight, and your budget are in the way?
Here are some ideas and resources:
Have someone take new measurements for the way you stand or sit now. Hemlines, pant legs, garment backs, and shirt sleeves might all need adjustments to make your old favorites workable and comfortable or your new purchases fit properly. Many catalog companies and department stores do alterations. So do many dry cleaners.
- Shortening a jacket a few inches can make a big difference if you're sitting most of the time.
- If fastening buttons has become a problem, have them sewn onto the outside of shirts or dresses, and have Velcro strips put inside to hold the garment shut.
Shopping ideas
Explore companies that design clothing specifically for people living with disabilities. Whether you shop in department stores, discount outlets, second-hand shops, through catalogs, or on the Web, remember:
- Bright, flattering colors can really lift your spirits.
- Button- and zipper-free garments are easier to use.
- If you do select a zippered garment, look for large zippers, in the front.
- Fabrics that are soft, non-binding, and washable are a must. Look for Lycra or Spandex in the fiber content.
- If you use a wheelchair, try pants with a shortened waist and a roomier backside.
- Men's ties are available pre-knotted, clip-on, slip-on, or with a zipper.
- A tailor who can alter business suits could be worth the investment.
While you want to be comfortable, clothes that are long, have flowing sleeves, have extra-wide pant legs, or have voluminous skirts can be annoying or even hazardous if they can become entangled with your mobility aid.
For those who spend time in bed
- Find someone to sew colorful hospital-type gowns for you. The design of ready-mades might be comfortable and practical, but they often are drab.
- Super-soft, washable, stretchable fabrics are important. Satiny fabrics will help you move more easily.
- Choose sheets the same way you choose a scarf or necktie. Look for colors that complement or contrast your coloring or clothing.
For women who have always been shoe addicts, the change to lower-heeled footwear can feel devastating. Guys who can't wear their beloved sandals or boots might also feel hard-hit.
- Find a local shoe repairer you like and trust.
- Have the heels of your shoes adjusted. Even 1/4" can make a huge difference. Find the heel height that works best for you.
- Have your shoe repairer add leather to or sand down rubber-soled shoes to reduce their stickiness.
- Add straps to shoes or sandals so they won't slip off.
Other footgear challenges:
- If tying shoes is difficult, try elastic shoelaces, slip-ons, or styles with Velcro fasteners. For women, shoes are available with elastic insets that slip on while the strap is fastened.
- Try a larger, wider shoe for poor leg circulation.
- Save energy with a long-handled shoehorn.
- If you need compression stockings, many styles are now available for men and women. Micro-fiber stockings are the easiest to pull on.
Hair care
We all know how good the right haircut can make us feel. With MS, consider your energy and your ability to maintain a suggested style.
- Buy a hands-free dryer with a clip that attaches to a wall. Or buy a stand in which you can place your present dryer.
- If blow-drying is impossible, try a hairstyle that you can finish by just running a comb, brush, or your hands through it.
- Ask a family member, caregiver, or best friend for help with shampooing. Or ask your hair-care professional. Some make home visits.
- Try a dry, no-rinse shampoo when you are too tired or no one can help you.
- Consider buying a wig or a hairpiece. It's a fast way to look good.
- Hair color gives men and women an instant lift. There are many choices—shampoo-in, semi-permanent, or permanent—to be done at home or in a salon. The spray-on, wash-out type gives you a chance to try a color without any permanent effects.
Men, don't skip this section. A good moisturizer and a brush of bronzing powder, dusted over the face, can give men an instant lift. Give it a try and see.
Makeup tips:
- Set up an area where you can sit. Rest your elbows on the sink or counter.
- Use a magnifying mirror. Some can be clamped onto the bathroom counter. Others have stands or easel-backs.
- For lip liner and lipstick, simply put the color up to your mouth and follow the contour of your lips. For mascara, put the wand at the base of your eyelash. While holding it there, brush your eyelash against it. Powdered blush can be applied with a light swirl and then smoothed with fingertips.
- If you have trouble with your hands, have someone else fill the brush with powdered foundation or blush for you. One filling will last for several sessions.
- Liquid makeup can be applied with fingertips or a cosmetic sponge. It is the most widely used and easiest to find.
- Combination wet/dry foundation might be the best choice. Use a brush to apply it dry or a moistened sponge to apply it wet.
- Eye makeup comes in powdered, liquid, or pencil forms, but the self-sharpening wand is easier to apply.
- Don't toss a mascara tube that's nearly finished. It can be used to darken brows or touch up hair color at the roots.
- To cut your costs, try a dab of moisturizer combined with a dab of lipstick for a blusher.
- A dab of petroleum jelly will give the same effect as lip gloss and keep your lips moist.
Men who shave every day need a good electric shaver, to use while seated in front of a mirror. Rest your elbows on the counter or tabletop for support. Women might find that shaving legs poses special problems. Liquid depilatories might be easier to manage. Men might decide a beard is a good solution. But beards need to be combed, cleaned, and trimmed regularly. There are special electric shavers designed for the job.
Manicures and pedicures
Both men and women benefit from the human touch of a manicure or pedicure, and having someone inspect your hands and feet for cuts or sores could be a boon to your health.
If a professional manicure/pedicure is beyond your budget, area beauty school prices are generally much lower. Or enlist a friend, family member, or caregiver.
Using extra-large nail clippers with a magnifying lens can make trimming easier and safer.
Mobility aids
Think of your mobility aid as an extension of your fashion statement. Many wheelchairs and walkers come in bright colors. Ask your vendor. If you're stuck with a "medical" looking chair, add a great fabric cover to the back.
Energy-conserving tips
- Do the most difficult things when you have the most energy.
- Sit to work, even if you are able to stand. Standing takes 8% more energy than sitting.
- Use a tub bench or bath seat in your tub or shower, and purchase a hand-held shower attachment.
- Use long tongs or a reacher to help put on pants or to reach anything below hip level.
- Keep items you need for each daily activity together, and store the most frequently used items between eye and hip level.

Id like to see one of those videos set to an awesome song like enter sandman or some shit like that. Be like - "no im not gestating a delightful little princess this time. This is actually the antichrist. Prostate in front of my swollen womb."

I also thought that the first 6 months after birth were pretty stupid. I mean it's cool to have a baby to show off and take pictures of but they pretty much don't do anything except for cause you to sleep less and work more.
Once they start doing stuff other than just puke and cry and shit an sleep, then they start to become magic.
I mean ultimately it's like most things in life - it will be whatever you make of it. Some people seem to resent their kid. That I don't get. Maybe they act like the kid is too much of a hassle to parent.
Well let me put it this way:
I take Ally with me to the allergy doctor every Thursday. I have to sit there for 30 minutes after my shots so that they can make sure I'm not going into anaphylactic shock. While I'm there I feed her snacks, read car magazines with her (she likes the Dodge Challenger) and do letters with her.
Other parents bring their kids and maybe shove a gameboy in their hands. Maybe ignore them while their kids make messes.
I think they're all a bunch of fuckups. You're stuck in a doctors office with your kid - you ought to be interacting. Teach them, play with them, talk to them, joke on them, do something other than play angry birds on your smartphone for christs sake.
I mean I know you got work to do but so do I. I do my work at work. When I have a chance to play with my kid I take it.

Well that's good though. Most of the major systems are complete. Engaging burp cannons.
I know I'm going to jinx it by saying this but Ally has never thrown up. Best of luck on that count cause the pukin' grosses me out.
