-- talk about bad driving Democrats are touting green jobs at the very same week we find out that job growth is really stall it.
And the same week new reports show the administration's one billion dollar investment -- green car batteries.
Is and creating the jobs promised also.
-- or automotive may not build won the hybrid car in the US despite getting nearly 200 million dollars in US backed loans.
Is it time for the government to stop pushing these green job -- Hi everybody I'm David has been welcome to -- -- marks here whether it's today.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rick Unger and John -- rich we just found out that senator Harry Reid on Wednesday is gonna be touting another round of of green job programs are they work it.
You know they're really not to these green jobs are costing about 200000.
Dollars per job you compare that to the American venture capital industry which creates a job.
For about every 20000 dollars of investments so 110 the cost in the private sector.
And the government really just isn't keeping pace with -- what's going on in the world so by the time it funds.
These companies it's way behind insulin -- the console ever got funded by the government.
The Chinese price was already far beyond what -- could match.
-- last thing we know is it about 70% of these green investments are going toward backers financial backers.
Of this administration's.
So you you know there's this whiff of payoff involved for all of those reasons it should be shut down.
But break it instead the government that the president had senator Harry Reid and others are doubling down on this bet that doesn't seem to be paying off.
What -- let's let's be realistic here in May not be paying off today that's a fact of life but you know we can't make decisions.
About our future based on what's working today.
You know if if we were to do this -- -- way we'd basically be raising the white flag and capitulated to China who is spending.
Enormous amounts of money subsidizing.
They're solar industry is that what we want do we want our kids end up working for Chinese companies -- middle management are we wanna give them an opportunity.
To all of these companies it's looking down the road if we end up as an also ran in the green energy field this cannot be a good thing for the United States.
But Mike there's all this create Havoc act -- going to try to prove that these programs work when in fact.
It doesn't look like they -- we're glad it's not just cars and batteries by the way there's a -- program that that the government has.
Four point three billion dollar program the government claims it created 7300 workers in fact the Wall Street Journal went in and found only 300 workers.
That's fourteen million dollars per job at a cost basis it's really hurting business David and really hurting our recovery on a cost per kilowatt hour.
He's green programs -- -- much less efficient than traditional sources of energy for instance solar power is 35 cents per kilowatt hour.
Oil natural gas coal -- below a nickel so it's a real detriment to our economy all these green programs right -- Mac Rick says yeah yeah yeah yeah said he hates you because eventually these things will pay off but how long do we wait.
Now we can't do this right now I'm sorry but the president has clearly lost the plot line inconvenient truth is this.
When your driving at -- -- -- dashboard and you're at the wheel.
And you seen historic crack up like we just experienced one of the worst downturns ever.
You do not do you know reckless moon shots on fly by night companies that will not return investments back to the US taxpayer -- not create jobs.
And that this was such a great program why the president himself this about the Department of Energy green and your energy program saying quote I could understand that this is not our program -- say it was so great why is he walking back away from it.
And John -- it's it's it's a tough sell to say double down on a bat.
That when you look at this said that the job figures that came out yesterday doesn't seem to be workers.
Oh yeah I mean if this weren't so -- -- that this is just beyond sad the Obama administration says that its investments are stimulating the economy.
But if that were true these would be profitable investments and if -- profitable the Obama administration would not need to make the investments that the private sector does not want to you.
On what we don't know here and what we'll never know are the company's.
And jobs that were never created because we are are sending limited capital in the direction of something the markets don't want.
What shut this down and answered -- point about China.
If there's such good investments for China we will happily import that are in innovations if they ever make market sense -- -- You know I I I find -- conversations so -- We've been subsidizing energy since 1798.
When we first slap tariffs on the British coal business.
I don't understand this we have always subsidized energy mistaken that Smart -- -- now we find ourselves and wait a second now we find ourselves in this situation.
Where we see other countries dramatically subsidizing.
The next generation of energy and you guys -- -- just raise the white flag of surrender.
The marketplace is yeah.
-- -- go -- big reminder and a Smart way these programs serve should be battered.
Keep irrational hope alive like they will create jobs this is as misleading as -- president's.
Recent ad touting the bailouts -- General Motors as saying look.
That they -- that the -- very wind is getting repaid when that's not so that's a Tom Hanks video that really misled the American people GM so closest billions of dollars.
All this talk about job creation with the green energy program cannot be proven.
Even the government itself says he cannot prove it it's the same thing with being capita can't prove whether they lost or created jobs they did it -- millionaire or not trust.
Hundreds of years what it is everywhere we're gonna get your rights.
Rick go ahead everybody's -- Rick go ahead it's the execution it's the execution that is so flawed here -- I mean I there there might be a place for government investment it but it should be government are indeed should be coming out of the Defense Department.
That's where the semiconductors were first -- that's -- the Internet was first funded.
But the company said bill.
Not good but that people who -- companies around those technologies did it in the private sector.
So I agree with you to a certain point of the execution when you're actually giving money to Obama administration donors.
Who may know nothing about the industry that's what's.
Why Paul the second -- -- let me just ask your question because.
People would argue as to how much the coal and oil industry are subsidized but even if you take their point.
Take your point that they have been somewhat subsidize in the past by tax breaks it's -- Are we know that those energy sources produce energy efficiently that they are profitable way of creating energy we don't know that about solar we certainly don't know that about wind and in fact there seems to be evidence to the contrary.
-- honestly you can say that about any future technology investment you don't really know until you get there but let's talk about let's talk about Maloney Rick we do you know.
That's -- not a second we do know that the price of solar is down 70%.
In the past three years we know that the prices on wind.
Are down 40% in the past three years it's obviously going in the right direction when he knows everybody else was -- -- of the job that's.
John Sammy the fact is is that in in in the case of eggs and we had this four billion dollar program.
That rather than creating jobs we shot sought jobs -- from 7200.
Down to 300 so there's a lot of evidence -- these things are not -- They're not efficiently in -- Rick Rick is contradicted himself if the rest of the world is subsidizing.
What's not working in the marketplace why not let the rest of the world subsidize these new future energies if it turns out they work we benefit these we can import them.
If it turns out what you don't have that we are going to be miserable failures.
We don't waste goes on in the bottom line here -- -- -- why are you saying it is that we desperately need jobs as a nation we are not growing as fast as we should be we need jobs wherever we can get them.
Even if that means getting our fingers a little dirty with cold and in fact the innovation in coal and natural gas with fracturing David have been superior to what's been happening and solar and wind which is one of the reasons why those industries.
Are much more efficient and solar and wind power Rick what is more vital to the nation right now that we we invest in energy sources that are -- -- unproven.
Or that we focus on getting jobs even if that means going into carbon energy sources.
I've I think you have to do but I think the reality -- it's like running a business you do have to worry about today.
But how do you not worry about things long term.
You know I can see this conversation -- -- here in ten years and if there happens to be a democratic president and we're lagging behind in this industry.
You're all going to be screaming how are we ready -- Chinese you know all of us when -- -- no -- -- these clean energy.
And I you know what's -- knew him when he really -- -- -- -- by the backdoor.
Or hollering now our US families who don't how we're seeing jobless rates rising full unemployment is so dreadful at 15%.
Unemployment rather.
That's what we need to address.

Terry and Jane Semel's Malibu estate( Nick Springett )
The estate grabbed headlines in June 2012 when former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel and wife Jane put it on the market at $50 million. It sold to billionaire Larry Ellison a few months later for $37 million. It occupies a quarter-acre lot on Billionaire's Beach in Malibu and has a copper-roofed screening pavilion.

The plastic bins are piled high with cameras-hundreds of them. Point and shoots. SLRs. Digital. Film. A rubber band around each holds a neatly folded sheet of paper with the owner's name and address, as well as the reason the camera is here: "Doesn't focus." "Won't turn on." "Everything is blurred."
Welcome to Mack Camera & Video Service, the photographic equivalent of the Intensive Care Unit. In a squat yellow building on the main drag of Springfield, NJ, 17 technicians poke, probe, and power up each camera to cure what ails it. Each year, Mack sells more than 200,000 extended warranties, which kick in after the manufacturers' expire. Though only a small percentage of the cameras break, those that do land in these plastic bins.
Mack's President Melvin I. Kevoe and his team have seen it all. From the guy who mailed his camera in a bed of freshly popped popcorn, to those who can never get their cameras to work because they refuse to read the manual. But most of the problems fall into fairly clear-cut categories.
Here are the top ten things that put cameras in the Mack Infirmary:
1. Gravity
"People don't want to say that the camera was dropped," says Kevoe. "OK, then it was 'impacted'-it hit something, or something hit it."
2. Dunking
This one is an obvious camera-killer.
3. Corrosion
A damp windy day at the shore can wreak havoc with a camera's electronics. Salt in the air may not work its evil magic right away, but when it does, things get ugly. "You look inside the camera, and it's green," says Service Manager Eric Menkin. "It doesn't take much corrosion to short it out."
4. Bent Pins
Those gold pins at the bottom of the camera's memory card slot are as delicate as they appear. On some cameras, a couple of pins are higher than the others. So if you insert a memory card sideways, backwards, or any other way that pushes on these pins, they can bend and touch other pins. The result? A short circuit affecting one or more functions. For instance, you may be able to review photos, but not take them.
5. Bent Blades
With the DSLR turned on and the shutter set to Bulb, a do-it-yourselfer pokes a swab inside the camera to clean the image sensor. Suddenly, the shutter blades snap closed around the swab. Instinctively, the swab is jerked out. The blades assume an awkward new shape.

text: Willie Vogt Archives Email Author Follow @willie1701a New Tractor Carries Venerable Name New Holland fires up a legendary name and puts it on a new machine - return of the Genesis. Published on: Jun 6, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Editor's Note: Thanks to John Vogel, editor, American Agriculturist, for the photos that accompany this story. We double-teamed this rollout. Breaking through the competitive tractor business challenges companies to step up to meet a rising set of customer needs. But how does a company set itself apart? For New Holland, the answer was to reach back to a name that was a hallmark for innovation at the company, and in the last quarter of 2013 the company will roll out the Genesis T8. That's right, the Genesis is back. The new Genesis T8.420 will feature an engine with 419 peak horsepower and 367 drawbar horsepower. And it features a pack of innovations that will help it cut through the clutter.TIGHTER TURNS: With its 140-inch wheelbase and far-forward front axle design, the Genesis T8 is maneuverable. "The original Genesis tractor was a groundbreaker for New Holland," says Abe Hughes, vice president, North America. "It made a statement and put New Holland on the map in the row crop business." Back in 1993, New Holland had recently acquired Ford's tractor division - and in fact the first Genesis tractors had Ford on the side. The company had to make a statement about its intent for the future. Hughes outlines the fact that the first Genesis tractor was designed in three years and came in ahead of schedule and under budget. It was the first tractor the company produced that used a design team concept. Gary Wojcik, marketing segment leader high horsepower tractors and precision land management, says that early team "had full decision-making power" over the engineering and design of the tractor.EASY CONTROL: The AutoCommand CVT control allows simple moves from forward to reverse, access to three preset speeds and that thumbwheel to the top left of the control allows finer speed adjustments. Readers will recall that the Genesis was the first tractor whose flip up hood provided full engine access without added panels to remove. It featured the Sidewinder console that could be moved back and forth to meet the needs of a wider range of users. And it offered the first Super Steer axle, an axle that not only turned up front but actually pivoted farther to further reduce the tractor's turning radius. New Genesis steps upANNIVERSARY: For the 2014 Model Year - Genesis T8 tractors will carry this window sticker remembering the first Genesis launched in 1993. The new-generation Genesis T8 offers the industry's longest wheelbase at 140-inches and can accommodate those new Group 49 tires on the rear for improved traction. That longer wheelbase comes with a 5-inch rear axle that can handle the bigger load this tractor will be asked to manage. Power from engine to axle travels through a new AutoCommand CVT (standard on the Genesis T8.420) that offers speeds from 64 feet per hour to 31 miles per hour. And at four key operating points the transmission is fully mechanical. "At those points it is a direct drive transmission providing the user with pure engine power," Wojcik says. "Those are at lower speeds for tilling and planting where the user wants to get the most traction efficiency." Control of the tractor is easy for a first-time user, once you get the hang of that controller. The control has a forward and reverse toggle. The user can also set specific speeds - three in fact - so perhaps one for transport speed, another for initial tillage speed and a final for end-row turns. Then it's easy to step through those speeds using plus or minus buttons right on the control. And a thumbwheel allows you to increase or decrease speed in 0.1-mile-per-hour increments.

July 12, 2011 — For years now the mantra in City Hall has been there is no money and like cities throughout the state of California, the city officials seem to place the blame squarely on Sacramento.
While the state doesn't have a clue how to keep the budget under control, the fact is that the city of Susanville also has an obligation to make sure its fees match its services. Sometimes that means charging use fees for parks and recreation.
July 5, 2011 — Lassen County's Board of Supervisors found itself embroiled in one mighty clucking controversy last week after a local chicken farmer asked the board to help him find a way through a conflicting maze of laws and administrative regulations so he can once again sell his poultry at local farmer's markets.
June 28, 2011 — Journalists have all heard the words; "I don't want to see any of this in the newspaper."
The assumption is the person being interviewed, especially a government official, is in control of "the record." To be perfectly clear, the record belongs only to journalists. We have every right to put what is said into print especially if it is newsworthy.
June 21. 2011 — The news at both the county and the city level this summer centers on two issues that go hand in hand — economic development and budget issues. When it comes to budget issues, the same mantra is heard year after year, there is not enough revenue to meet the demand of expenses. Therefore, when all unnecessary cuts have been made, the next step is cut personnel.

a billion dollars in personal wealth doesn't go as far as it used to.
mets sign granderson....4yr
also, Cubs not getting burned again giving a 10 year contract.
I think Cano is a great player, but let's see how this looks years 5-10.
Hiya Albert Pujols!
Nintendo money tops Ameritrade money.
Cubs too cheap and don't care about fans
How is it that a team in the Seattle metro region (population 3.5m) can afford huge signings and the Cubs (metro pop ~10mil) can only afford Wesley Wright?
Are they going to break the bank on Tanaka too?
cano 10/240 M's...
CARLITO: I think the MLB clubs that like to spend big internationally (like Texas, Toronto, Tampa Bay, and Boston) will be beating down the Cubs door for their SBV slots. It will be a seller's market, because the Cubs will be one of the few teams that won't be able to use their 2014-15 SBV slots to the fullest.
The Cubs will need to keep at least one slot to cover whatever prospects they do sign (albeit no player for more than a $250K bonus), but the others should be available to be traded.
"Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com reports that while the Cubs "believe" in Javier Baez as a shortstop, the prospect will "move around" to different positions in spring training.
Levine said of Baez that second base "could be his" by the end of June."
This is very interesting, I hadn't though of the benefits of still having the picks. Do you think teams will leverage the Cubs a bit though, knowing the Cubs can't pay the slots appropriately, or will the players be seductive enough to render that fact mute?
BTW, if he is posted, NPB RHP Masahiro Tanaka will NOT be subject to international signing bonus limits, because he is at least 23 years old (he's 25) and has spent at least five seasons in a recognized foreign "major" league.
CARLITO: Among other things, the Cubs are going to have some attractive International Signing Bonus Value (SBV) slots to trade after July 1st, since they can't sign any international free-agents subject to signing bonus restrictions for more than a $250K bonus in the 2014-15 International Signing Period as the result of going 15%+ over their assigned ISBP limit in 2013.
Just because the Cubs agreed to forfeit their #4 overall 2013 Rule 5 Draft pick to the Philies to settle a grievance does not mean the Cubs cannot make a selection in the second round of the Rule 5 Draft (overall pick #34) or have another club make a selection for them in the 1st round and then acquire the selected player from that club after the draft.
The first 105 years of rebuilding are a gift. This is where it gets tricky!
In his last Instructs outing in October versus SF in Scottsdale (which was both Vizcaino's only AZIL game and the Cubs last AZIL game) Vizcaino's fastball topped out at 94-95 MPH (off the guns of two scouts from other organizations).

You guys are encouraging! I knew there was a reason I posted here. :~) Now too bad none of you live in Colorado Springs or Denver for track workouts; we could be a middle age force...haha.
25 straight days of running now! Typical week is 7x 4 miles a day, progression runs on an indoor track, starting at 8:45 pace building to 7:00 pace or mile repeats on the treadmill at 1% incline. Last week I finished one progression run with a 7:21 3rd mile and 6:54 final mile, and ran one of my mile repeats in 6:40. Total mileage: 28. My level of fitness predicts a 21:45 at the moment. First race is St. Patricks in Colorado Springs (6000 ft). I'm shooting for 21:30.
Thanks guys.

Honour Amongst Chaos
For a while, Ireland's Waylander with a Century Media Records debut (1998's Reawakening Pride Once Lost), looked poised to be on par with country mates Cruachan and put Ireland on the celtic/folk metal map. Then there was 2001's rather messy and lackluster The Light, The Dark and the Endless Knot, then the band disappeared - until now.
Well, seven years off and a new line-up appears to have re-ignited the promise of the debut as Waylander looks to shake up the viking dominated folk scene with a celtic injected take on thrash and NWOBM that finally gives the folk metal scene a less Scandinavian flavor. While acts like Finntroll, Ensiferum, Equilibrium, Finsterforst and such deliver a pomp happy, bouncy, filled, polished, bombastic take on folk metal often relying on overbearing synths and humpa breakdowns, Waylander offers a rougher, readier take on the genre that's proportional to the rough craggy land they hail from. They incorporate a basic riff structure that's part Skyclad, early Forefather, early The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Winterfylleth and Primordial as well as the aforementioned thrash and NWOBM.
Flocking the riffs is the tin whistle, mandolin & bodhran (a handheld drum) played by new member Dave Briggs and the gravelly rasps and croons of frontman and founding member Ciaran O'Hagan. Both give the material the desired, mystic celtic atmosphere which is quickly displayed in fine form for the opening duo of "As the Deities Clash" and "Walk With Honour," proudly proclaiming the return of Waylander to the fray. Then after a brief Braveheart-ish soundtrack start, "Beyond the Ninth Wave" explodes with a blackened fury and then "Galloping Gaels" (though it sounds like "Galloping Girls") continues the album's far sterner delivery, fully cementing the band's return to glory days.
Arguable standout track, the 10 minute "To Dine In the Other World" starts with somber ethnic instrumentation and O'Hagan's moody croon but then alternates between a very Primordial-styled epic number and a more folkish jig and a cool acoustic mid section. Admittedly, despite its quality, Honour Amongst Chaos has seen its high points when "Usurpers of Our Legacy" kicks in with some shaky blast beats and "Takers of Heads" rumbles with a more old school structure, as the formula has made its point and starts to wear off, especially with the lengthy (5-11 minutes) songs. And personally while the celtic elements are melded with the metal as far as intros and interludes (i.e the mid section of "Elemental Chaos"), I would have loved to have heard a more purely celtic, traditional piece like closer "Bru na Boinne".
Honour Amongst Chaos is a triumphant return for one of the pioneers of "Celtic Metal" and if Sláine (Google him if you don't know who I'm talking about) listened to metal; my guess it would be Waylander.

Feb. 4, 2013 Did this head once bear the English Crown?
The University of Leicester, with Channel 4, has just unveiled the world's first photograph of the human remains found at the Grey Friars church -- which could be that of King Richard III.
The image is released in advance of the University of Leicester's major announcement detailing the results of its investigations into the skeleton's identity on February 4.
The image displays the shape of the Grey Friars skeleton's skull. The University has investigated the skull for signs of damage to the back of the head -- potentially caused by battle injuries.
The University has released the image after months of skeletal analysis by Dr Jo Appleby, Lecturer in Human Bioarchaeology in the University's School of Archaeology and Ancient History, who led the exhumation of the remains in September 2012.
Dr Appleby said: "The skull was in good condition, although fragile, and was able to give us detailed information about this individual. It has been CT scanned at high resolution in order to allow us to investigate interesting features in as much detail as possible.
"In order to determine whether this individual is Richard III we have built up a biological profile of its characteristics. We have also carefully examined the skeleton for traces of a violent death."
The remains were found at the place where Richard III is believed to have been buried after his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
The skeleton showed evidence of what was believed to be scoliosis and battle trauma -signs that suggest it may be the remains of the medieval monarch.
The University will announce the results of its rigorous scientific investigations in front of over 140 journalists from across the globe converging on the University of Leicester Council Chamber.
The University of Leicester, in association with Leicester City Council and the Richard III Society, is leading the Search for Richard III.

Detour now accessible, plans to build new, wider trail part of Kent's contract
© Renell LeGrow photo
ATV users, walkers, and bikers who tried to use a portion of the Newfoundland T'Railway in Grand Falls-Windsor were met with a roadblock last week. Construction of the new Kent store on Duggan Street forced users to find another way, but Town engineering director Jeff Saunders said a detour is now in tact and an upgraded, wider trail will be completed in the coming months.
Residents forced to stop using a portion of Newfoundland T'Railway in Grand Falls-Windsor can now pass without worry.
Some users of the T'Railway had to find another route last week when they attempted to use the section that runs through the construction site of the soon-to-be new Kent store on Duggan Street.
According to Jeff Saunders, Grand Falls-Windsor's director of engineering, the Town received calls from residents who were concerned when they were asked by contractors not to cross the site.
The T'Railway, which is used by many walkers, runners, bikers, and ATV users on a daily basis, runs across the island of Newfoundland where the old railway used to be. Now designated a provincial park, any business, municipality or individual interested in building over it must build a detour so it still connects with the other sections.
But Saunders said users have no reason to be concerned, as the approximately week-long block of that portion of the trail was a temporary measure. He said making sure the T'Railway stayed in tact was part of Kent's contract, and they consulted with the Town and the Corduroy Brook Trail Association to come up with a solution for a permanent detour before they started working on the lot.
The detour, which Saunders said is just a quick turn from where the previous trail was and meets up with the rest of the T'Railway, is now ready for use.
"I think some people thought 'oh they got that gone and it's not coming back,' but that's not the case," said Saunders. "And we probably didn't get (the information) out there like we should have."
While the new portion of trail is now accessible, the finished product, which will actually be an upgraded trail that is two meters wider than the old rail bed, will take a few months to be completed.
When residents started to express concern, the contractors expedited building a rough version of the detour so it would at least be accessible during the construction phase.
"Even with the construction, people were still scooting across the site, which was a (safety) concern," said Saunders. "It's certainly useable now, and will be upgraded as the summer moves along."

Holly Kissing Ball
- Summary
The evergreen kissing ball is a charming romantic tradition harking back to 18th-century England. As the custom goes, whenever a young lady standing beneath the ball received a kiss, she removed a berry, until all the berries (and kisses) were gone. Our hand-made sphere of fresh holly with noble fir, incense cedar and natural red berries is hand assembled using French floral wire and a 6" hanging ribbon. It's a festive touch for suspending in a doorway or from a chandelier. 8" diam. Made in USA. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the kissing ball and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh natural materials used in the ball are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile.
- Mist with water prior to hanging and mist daily for best results.
- Holly is sensitive to temperatures below 36 degrees F. If not displaying immediately, store in its box in a cool, dark location.
- If you choose to hang your ball outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind, rain, and temperatures below 36 degrees F.
- If your ball is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our ball is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.
- With proper care, the holly will last up to 3 weeks.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Christine L.
"Super yummy relish and a great way to use up that golden summertime corn. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 large red bell pepper
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
1/2 cup chopped green onions
Surprisingly the ingredients really complimented each other! THis went great with Cuban Shredded Pork and crusty bread.
I brought this to our Family Christmas Party and it was the only dish that was completely eaten. I've given the recipe to several people because they enjoyed it so much.
18 Ratings
This was awesome! It went great with our hamburger dinner. I think it's better than Red Hot and Blue (restaurant in the SE part of the state). I roasted the peppers in the oven and have to say, they tasted just as good as the roasted red peppers you'd buy at the grocery store.
I only made this to clear out some leftovers but I will hang on to the recipe! It was very good. I cut down the recipe so I could just use one bag of corn (which is about 2C). I also had to make a few subs based on what I had on hand - 1/2 t sugar instead of the syrup, and shallots instead of the green onions. I used jarred peppadew peppers since that's what I had on hand. They have a kick and added a great flavor. I cut the hot pepper sauce (Tabasco) down a little since I was using spicy peppers. I also cut the oil in half since it seemed like too much. Despite all the changes it turned out great.
I have only just mixed this up...thought it has not had time to set in the fridge, I can't stop eating it. I have made this for a vegan pot luck and I am sure it will go over great. I used a jar of roasted red peppers and will use the leftovers for the red pepper humus on this site that is to die for. (Spiced Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Hummus)
Great side. I bought the mixed small peppers from Costco but it was a lot of work to break them down. I didn't have cider vinegar, green onions, or maple syrup. I skipped the onion, used Balsamic, and Agave nectar, canned corn, Adobo seasoning instead of salt, and olive oil. I am really happy with this dish. Thank you!
This is so delicious! The addition of the real maple syrup definately puts it over the top in smooth flavor.
A wonderful recipe! We did not add the hot sauce but added a tablespoon of sugar. It was great with pork chops.

Get Along With Your In-Laws? If You're a Woman that Could Lead to Divorce
Teen Mom 2's Leah Calvert and Corey Simms Finalize Divorce, What Caused the Split?
Ex-Redskins Player Chris Cooley and Wife Christy Divorcing
Rumors that the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were engaged surfaced over the weekend when Angelina was spotted wearing a large diamond at a quiet event at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. And now sources have confirmed that it is indeed an engagement ring designed by Pitt himself.
Pitt's manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante told USA Today, "Yes it's confirmed. It's a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy. There is no date set at this time."
Pitt and Jolie have six children together and decided it was time to cement the relationship. The power couple delayed marriage saying they wanted to wait until it was legal for all people in the U.S. to get married, but their children really wanted them to make it official.
The stunning engagement ring was designed by himself who picked the finest quality diamonds and hired a well-known jewelry designer, Robert Procop to craft the ring. It took Pitt nearly a year to perfect the design.
This is indeed a happy occasion for Pitt and Jolie along with their children and everyone wishes them the best.
High-profile couples who decide to tie the knot are often advised to seek out the help of a divorce attorney to write up a pre-nuptial agreement. Though many couples think they will live in wedded bliss forever some couples don't make it and find they eventually need a divorce lawyer to dissolve their marriage.
With a pre-nuptial, a couple and their divorce attorneys can avoid a prolonged battle over their mutual assets, custody and spousal support.

I am 23 years old. I have spent 16 of those years in school. In grade school I learned about the founding of the United States. In middle school I learned about the Civil War. In high school I learned about slavery and the civil rights movement.
But it wasn't until this February that I learned what all of that really stood for.
As most of you know, I am a native of New Jersey. I went to a high school where I was the minority, and where racism just never happened. When we learned about the Civil War, it was all facts. When I heard about the civil rights movement, it was through textbooks.
Yes, I knew the facts. But I never saw the deeper meaning.
Throughout February I have been assigned to cover numerous Black History Month events. From readings to acting, to a dedication ceremony, there is no limit to the things I have learned and the people I have experienced, but it all brought up one very important point: Black History Month in a Southern state that experienced the Civil War and experienced segregation at its worst is much, much different from reading about it in textbooks.
It all came to a head while I was sitting in the office of Robert Coleman, president of the W.C. Young Community Center. Coleman is a retired Paducah city commissioner. He is well-spoken, extensively educated and a wealth of knowledge.
For the better part of an hour and a half, I sat in Coleman's office. I had come to interview him about the center's dedication to Rosa Parks. But the interview turned into a conversation, the conversation turned into a history lesson, and the history lesson turned into an eye-opening realization.
Yes, I had gone to great schools and received a great education, but this kind of first-hand knowledge was unheard of in New Jersey. Coleman had seen "separate but equal." He had watched Martin Luther King Jr. rise and tragically fall. Talking to him, hearing his story, is the true history lesson.
As Americans, we have come very far toward equality, but there are still places to go. Just last month, offensive words and context were eliminated from the classic novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." There is still racism in this country, however hard we try to cover it up.
America was founded on the basis of ideas — pick and choose, compromise, and move forward. Most importantly, speak your mind. Coleman taught me that this past Saturday, as I sat in his office at the center, listening to his life (which, by the way, reads out somewhat like Forrest Gump).
No matter where you live, North or South, the progress needs to keep moving forward. There still needs to be a push for equality. We, as a nation, need to get over our differences, or at the very least acknowledge them.
"We have come a long ways," Coleman said. "We have to keep moving forward.
"America is a great place," he added, "but our work is just beginning."
