Potato Rosti with Bacon, Brie, Scallions and a Quick and Easy Brown Butter Pan ApplesauceFebruary 15, 2012 at 2:44 am | Posted in Breakfast, Daring Cooks, Dinner, Gluten Free, Pork, Vegetables | 47 Comments

Happy Valentines Day, err, Eve, everyone! I had this post scheduled to go up at 5pm last night. Apparently I didn't use GMT, so it's now the 15th. Well, it's still Valentine's Day on the West Coast! I hope you all had an amazing day and are now getting your lips kissed off – or eating chocolate.
For this month's Daring Cooks Challenge, we were asked to make fried patties of some sort, and one of the recipes offered to us was potato rosti, which is sort of a mix between a giant potato latke and hash browns. I added bacon lardons, scallions and brie to mine. It was suggested that the use of a cast iron skillet was ideal, and I have three; an 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch, all well-seasoned, or so I thought.
Once the underside of my rosti was cooked, some careful inspection revealed there was no way I was flipping this baby over without it falling apart. SO, I stuck it under the broiler to finish it and brown the top. We cut slices out of the pan, and it came out well, but it still would have broken into pieces had I tried to flip it.
I topped some slices with a sunny side up egg with roasted red bell pepper hearts (cutting the egg into a heart shape proved difficult since the white was so delicate and thin in some areas, but I did my best, and I think it still resembles somewhat of a heart ??). For the rest of the rosti, I made a super quick brown butter chunky applesauce to top it, which was absolutely wonderful.
The Daring Cooks' February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax (my pal) & Lis (one of my wifeypoos) and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients and deliciousness! We were given several recipes, and learned the different types of binders and cooking methods to produce our own tasty patties.
With all that said, you have got to try my quick brown butter pan apple sauce, whether or not you make the rosti. It came to me on a whim and I nailed it in one shot, which isn't usually the case, so I'm a proud mama..sort of.
Potato Rosti Napoleon? I sandwiched three slices of rosti with some extra brie and put it in the oven for a few minutes, then topped it with a quick pan brown butter apple sauce. A glorious tasting mess!
If you have a few minutes, please check out some of the unique, creative and delicious patties my fellow Daring Cooks came up with, by clicking on the links to their blogs, HERE. For a bounty of recipes for all kinds of patties, from the challenge, click HERE.
Rest in Peace Whitney Houston. The tragic loss of a beautiful woman with the voice of angel.
- 2½ lbs russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons feshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, or use all-purpose flour
- 1 lb slab bacon without the rind, or thick cut bacon
- 7 oz wheel of Brie or any other good melting cheese you like. Great with cheddar!
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced, dark ends saved for garnish
- 3 tablespoons oil, for frying
- Dice bacon into cubes and fry until fat is rendered and it's a deep rust color. Strain off bacon grease and save for another use. Set aside on a paper towel in a bowl.
- Cut white, papery rind off of brie (you can keep it onI prefer it off). Dice into small cubes, or shred, if brie is cold and firm.
- Slice white and light green parts on the diagonal. Save dark green slices, also sliced on the diagonal, for garnish.
- Grate the peeled potatoes with a box grater or a food processor shredding disk.5. Wrap the grated potato in a cloth and squeeze dry, you will get a lot of liquid over ½ cup, discard liquid since it is full of potato starch. Return dried potato to bowl add the egg, brie, bacon, scallions, cornstarch, pepper, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Preheat a frying pan (a well seasoned cast iron is best, 8 to 10-inch) until medium hot, add 2 teaspoons of oil wait until oil shimmers.
- Place half of mixture into the pan, flatten with a spoon until you get a smooth flat surface. Lower heat to medium.
- Fry for 8-10 minutes (check at 6 minutes) the first side, flip by sliding the rösti onto a plate then use another plate invert the rösti then slide it back into the pan, then fry the other side about 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Repeat to make another rosti.
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick - 4 tablespoons - 2 oz)
- 4 large Granny Smith (or any tart apples), apples - peeled, cored and chopped into cubes.
- ¼ to ½ cup granulated sugar, entirely depending on how sweet you like it
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 good pinch kosher salt
- squeeze of lemon juice (taste to see if it needs it)
- In a large saute pan, melt the butter on medium low heat. Raise the heat to medium and cook the butter until the the milk solids rise to the top and the liquid beneath the solids is light golden brown.
- Add the chopped apples to the browned butter and saute until the apples start to soften. Sprinkle on the sugar and let the apples caramelize in the sugar, stirring until the apples are completely caramelized and soft Remove from the heat and stir in the cinnamon, vanilla bean or extract, and kosher salt.
- Pour the apple mixture into a bowl, scraping out all the caramel goodness left in the pan. Mash with a fork for chunky apple sauce, or give it a whirl in the food processor (or use a blender or stick blender) for a smooth apple sauce. Squeeze in some lemon juice to taste, if needed. When cool, place in an airtight container in the fridge - it should last about 2 weeks, or immediately serve warm over potato rosti.

Business first – your potato rosti looks delicious, and beyond adorable, all Valentine-d up. Really great job on the challenge!
And oh my gosh, I can't wait for part five! I am reading this with my mind in two places about it – one, totally remembering being a 15 year old girl and how amazing and exciting it all sounds, how easy it was to fully fall in love and just BE in the moment. And the other in my no years later, as the mom of a five year old girl who, in ten short years, will be that 15 year old girl. Oh my gosh!! Thanks for sharing this – it is super fun to read

This is my comment regarding ONLY your lovely heart rösti, which I love and could eat a dozen of those topped with the perfectly cooked eggs. How lovely all the heart shaped parts, even the mini pepper heart!
Now, about the story, I'm really looking forward to reading all the parts I've missed before reading chapter 4 and have a great laugh. I love your writing! I really need to catch up on my reading, but it's been a busy time for me, I will soon move back to Brazil and I never new it could be possible to collect so many things in 5 years! And I'm not even a shopping center kind of person!
Comment by Renata— February 16, 2012 #
Still loving the story! We're all reliving similar heated moments 😉 My girlfriend and I got caught climbing out her bedroom window and her parents put bars on it!! Your heart shaped rosti and egg sounds/looks delicious, too.

By the way, Shelley and I have decided that we all three have to meet up for an afternoon of coffee and talking one day. And yes, Ladybug is walking, and running, and talking, and even helping me in the kitchen! Its so fun! And messy.

Comment by The Harried Cook— February 16, 2012 #
This IS like The Notebook! Does he build a house next and then you see his name in the paper? Is he Ryan Baby Goose?? Can I have some rosti, please? I think the bacon/brie thing is a stroke of brilliance and it looks divine.
p.s. Now I know how the original Dickens fans felt. AGH serialisation.

Comment by Charlie— February 17, 2012 #
There is nothing to compare to the intense emotions of young love, and I think your first will always make your heart flutter! Why do girls fall for the bad boys?
Your rosti with the melted brie just makes me want to hurry up and go to bed so I can have this for breakfast! And the applesauce…the icing on "the cake"! Thanks!
Comment by Bonnie Banters— February 17, 2012 #

Wow, that's one yummy meal.. two yummy meals :-). Great, mouth watering clicks too!
Also, you asked some question about my sour cream cheese cake. I answered them on my blog. Thanks for reading the recipe in such detail! Please let me know if you end up making it.
Comment by cookingrookie— February 21, 2012 #
First off, great looking rösti! Especially with the fried egg. Second, nooooooo!!!!! Parents are horrible! Ok, they're not, they're just looking out for us most of the time, but your story has literally turned me into a teenager again. I remember, I was in college and in my first serious relationship, when my parents were due to leave Canada, and there was talk of my going with them. I ended up staying (and getting dumped two years later), but I can still remember the anguish. Thankfully part five is already up!

Lisa, it's very easy to flip. Just invert a big plate over the top of the skillet. Turn over the skillet/plate and the Rosti will fall onto the plate, cooked side up. Slide the Rosti off of the plate (the uncooked side is now down) back into into the skillet. Viola.

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: Miles' twins unbreakable
COLLEGE STATION — Who says tennis isn't a contact sport?
Miles High School junior Travis Fischer chipped his tooth during a Class 1A boys doubles quarterfinal match with his twin brother Kyle Fischer on Monday at the UIL Tennis State Championships at the George Mitchell Tennis Center.
But Travis Fischer shook off the pain and the Bulldog juniors rallied past Big Sandy's Jacob Kennebeck and Jacob Owens 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Later in the day, the Fischer twins topped Menard's Bo Kothmann and Ty Kothmann 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinals.
The Fischers set up a finals showdown at 11 a.m. today against Mason's Price Ruffin and Rio Schmidt.
It was a dominating day for West Texas players, as four of the five draws have players in the finals. Mason, which already has a state-record 78 state titles, will have a chance to add three more today.
Miles head coach Jared Graves said he was proud of the way Travis Fischer shook off the mishap and stayed focused on reaching today's finals.
"He was going for a volley and faked on the overswing and just kind of clipped his tooth with his racket," Graves said. "It took about half the tooth off and there was blood coming out. But he took a five-minute timeout and he was able to regain his composure pretty quickly."
Tennis players aren't often known for their toughness, but Kyle Fischer said his twin has a pretty high threshold for pain.
"He's very resilient," Kyle Fischer said. "We've come this far. We're not going to let a broken tooth get in our way."
And Travis Fischer probably won't mind looking a little different in his post-match photos if the Bulldogs can beat Ruffin and Schmidt in the finals.
"Mason's always a tough opponent," Travis Fischer said. "We played them once this year. Things didn't go our way, but it was a pretty good match. We're just going to play our game and hope for the best."
In the quarters, Ruffin and Schmidt rolled past Water Valley's Kellan Kirkland and Conner Copley 6-1, 6-1. The Mason team then topped Claude's Jordan Battenfield and Teron Webb 6-2, 6-1 in the semis.
Junction's Jessey Martinez dropped just two games in two matches to cruise into today's finals at 9 a.m. against Knippa's Caitlin Rothe.
The girls doubles finals will be an all-Mason affair, as senior Margaret Lemke and junior Traci Jordan will be going for their third straight state title. It would be a fourth one for Lemke, which would set a state record.
"I know it'll be a hard-fought match," said Lemke, who was the All-West Texas Super Team MVP in basketball this spring. "It's never any fun having to play your teammates or your friends. But we have to go out there and give it all we have, and they have go out there and give it all they've got, too."
Jordan added, "I want it so bad for my partner for her to get her fourth in a row, and then hopefully I can come back next year and get my fourth."
Standing in their way are teammates Kirsten Allen, a junior, and Carley Chew, a freshman.
You'd think the pressure would be on Lemke and Jordan in today's finals, but their opponents don't necessarily see it that way.
"There's pressure on both sides of the net," Chew said. "It'll be a good match I think."
Lemke and Jordan topped Wink's Madison McGuire and Katelynn Shackelford 6-2, 6-3 in the semis, while Allen and Chew beat San Saba's Joannah Crosby and Joely Haverland 6-4, 6-2 in the other semi.
The mixed doubles finals will also be an all-West Texas affair.
Menard's Riley Rambo and Taylor Lyckman, both juniors, will be shooting for a third consecutive state title when they take on Mason's Coby Velez and Claudia Canfield, who beat Sterling City's Joseph Block and Savannah Jones 6-4, 6-3 in the quarters.
Rambo says he and his partner are on track to accomplish their goal.
"It feels good, because our goals since we won our freshman and sophomore years is to win it all four years in a row, of course," Rambo said.
Facing the Punchers in the finals is nothing new to the Menard duo.
"We see Mason all the time, it seems like," Lyckman said. "They're a good team, but I think experience will win and we have that experience."
Rambo and Lyckman opened with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Water Valley's Sterling Marschall and Melodie Wood.
Before getting knocked out in the semis, Kothmann and Kothmann ousted Paint Rock's Austin Alonzo and Kameron Metaxas 6-2, 6,-2 in the quarters.
Christoval junior Luke Parmer, the first player in school history to make it to state, started off strong before dropping a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 quarterfinals decision against Crowell's Mitchell Parsley.

In exchange, the Rapids sent one of their two third round picks in Thursday's MLS SuperDraft.
Harden, the Galaxy's 2007 Defender of the Year, did not play in 2008 after electing to step away from the game to pursue philanthropic endeavors last February.
A second round pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Washington, Harden appeared in and started a then-rookie record 24 games for the Galaxy in 2007, playing 2,086 minutes for the Galaxy, which were the second most on the club that season.
Colorado now hold six picks in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.
The first is in the second round, the 20th overall selection, with another in the third round and four in the fourth and final round.

The Many Hats of Palmer – Emergency Response Part 1: Fire
Palmer station, being the least populated of the three year-round U.S. research stations, requires all personnel here to fill several roles. Palmer is simply too small to support a dedicated fire department, full-time dishwasher (or D.A. – dining attendant at the other stations) or dedicated laborer (G.A. at the other stations), janitor, equipment operator and many other jobs. Despite the fact we haven't got all of those people, we must still be ready to respond to emergencies, or wash dishes, or shovel snow or take care of any of a hundred other tasks.
You may remember from an earlier post that I went to Denver, CO for fire school with nine of my fellow winterovers. The training that I received there was all in preparation for becoming a part of the fire team here at Palmer station.
Because I'm the power plant guy my role is actually pretty dull when it comes to responding to a fire type emergency. I report directly to my work center and stand by in case power needs to be cut to another building.
In this photo, you see three members of the SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) team practicing with fire hoses charged from two fire pumps in series.
To give you some idea as to how all this breaks down and the impact that a fire emergency or drill has on the population here – think about the numbers involved. When the boat leaves in late June and the population settles for the winter, there will be 19 people on station. Of these 19, one person has to be in charge – an incident commander. One person has to be coordinating communications, one person has to be accounting for everyone. We have two designated first responders and six designated SCBA people, one designated fire marshall, a doctor to deal with any medical emergencies, two people in utilities to deal with turning off power (one of those people is me – another goes to the emergency power plant) and people to run both fire pumps – this means that everyone has a direct role in responding to a fire. Pretty heavy stuff and speaks volumes as to why prevention of fires and accountability of people must be very strictly maintained.

Tulane cornerback Lorenzo Doss, who was the first player in college football ejected for targeting: "I tried to go for his legs and it just so happens he dove at the last minute. To me, it wasn't even a slide. He fell forward, so I think that's a bad call."
What they're saying about the enforcement of college football's new targeting rule
National coordinator of officials Roger Redding: "We always want rule changes like this around player safety to impact players. Watching some of the game and video, I can see situations where you can clearly see a player changed his behavior. A defender coming across the middle might have lit up a player, and he's changing his behavior and target."
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, after Deshazor Everett was ejected for targeting in Week 1: "That's a learning experience. I would imagine there will be a few of those calls now. With the enforcement of the new rule that's what's going to happen. So we have to adjust as coaches and players because that's the way it's going to be called and there's nothing you can do about it."
Alabama coach Nick Saban: "Personally, on the rule itself, if you can review a play to say a guy should be ejected or not be ejected, to me, you should be able to review if it was a penalty or not a penalty. That's not what the rule is."
Texas safety Adrian Phillips, who was penalized for targeting last week but had his ejection overturned by the replay booth: "Players aren't going to like it, but you have to respect the refs' decision. We can't change the way we play. We still have to go out there and do what we know, do what we're taught to do and just trust the refs make the right decision."
Texas coach Mack Brown: "If we're going to go upstairs, and we're going to make a decision that it was not head-to-head and intentional, and if we're going to make the decision it wasn't even really a penalty, but since our rules says we can't pick it up, if we're going to take our time to delay the game and go up and make sure it's not targeting, why in the world can't you say, in fact, he hit him with his shoulder and it's (not) even a penalty? I think that's where it needs to change."

huh? What the eff is that call?
Are u kidding me with that 3 second call???
The three-second call is retribution for our phantom first down against South Carolina -- I knows this.
That guy has a Shawn Marion type of shot
51-30 at the half!
C'mon man!!
I was starting to get worried. I thought we might go into half up by less than 20.
As "Funny" or "Insightful." So I just plussed it. But nice problem to have, no?
If we score a 100 points will Arby's give us free curly fries?
Or do they have Northwestern +20?
3 seconds after he goes in, comes out, passes and then heads right out of the lane? Come on...
We are really really good. I love Coach Alexanders speechs!
I like this team more and more every game. I do LOVE having a great bball team
If you would have told me before the game that they'd be 8-12 from three with 3 of those misses coming from Stauskas I would have l probably would have laughed.
I would have said that Stauskas must then be 8-11
Worst 3-second call in the history of the world? Um yeah.
If he wasn't a basketball coach, I bet he would make an incredible elemetary school assembly speaker. I lost it when he tossed the scraps and walked out of the locker room.
I'm always so disappointed when Stauskas misses. Not so much because we need the points, but I want to see him get up to 60%. Or at least stay above 55% through Big Ten play, even it's not realistic. Kid can shoot.
Team: 8/12 3 Pt
Stauskas: 1/4 3 Pt
It's so damn strange, but I'm not complaining.
19-33 (57.6%) FG percentage.
8-12 (66.7%) from 3-point land.
5-6 (83.3%) on free throws.
20 rebounds total.
I have to say that I like where this one is headed, fellow MGoBloggers.
I am a tad tipsy, admittedly (a couple of beers), but man, this guy on ESPN is pumping U-M up beyond belief...getting excited!
in the country is in fact one of the two best teams in the country is pumping them up beyond belief? Not sure why some MGoBloggers still don't want to believe that this team really is that good.
That really got out of hand.
El Fuego! Been a while.

Look out for the most common signs of being bugged.
We also find that messy litigation is another major driver for electronic eves dropping. Even if you are not involved in business or litigation, everyday individuals have been victimized by criminals who gained access to telephone data lines using electronic bugs. Law enforcement gets too many calls from unbalanced people who claim that the government is bugging their house to pay attention to legitimate concerns like yours. Furthermore, most law enforcement agencies are not properly equipped and trained to conduct an effective sweep. The phone company is also not available to assist you.

Sawyer Cellars Estate Bradford Meritage 2006
Bordeaux Red Blends from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2006 Estate Bradford Meritage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, all grown on the estate vineyards in Rutherford. A wine distinctive from both our Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it shows aromas of black licorice and blackberry on the nose, with additional cherry, mocha, and coco flavors present on the palate. Twenty-four months of barrel aging in French oak have helped produce a flavorful, full-bodied wine with balanced tannins for a long, lingering finish. The Bradford Meritage drinks beautifully now, and should continue to age well for an additional seven to nine years.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Here's a balanced, young Cab-based Bordeaux blend. It's juicy in tutti-frutti Lifesaver candy flavors of blackberries, cherries and raspberries, yet is quite dry, and the acid-tannin structure gives it an elegant framework. Seems best now for its youthful pizzazz."
Sawyer Cellars Winery
In the heart of Napa Valley exists a charming, family-owned winery and estate dating back to the early 1930's. Sawyer Cellars is dedicated to making premium Estate wines, and sharing their unforgettable winery with their guests.
Here's what they like share about their wines: Our wines reflect the unique characteristics of each vintage and of the Rutherford growing district. It begins in the vineyard---as we use only a small percentage of the grapes grown on our estate, the fruit that is perfect to the eye and loaded with flavor. We hire harvest crews chosen for their selective picking techniques, and then we hand sort to insure we are using nothing but the finest fruit. Using gentle, gravity-fed systems in the winery, a judicious use of oak barrel aging in the finest French oak, and daily attention to the wines during aging, we produce the finest wines possible in small, select quantities.

About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

OSU surging, Washington fading
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Northwest rivals Washington and Oregon State meet again in Reser Stadium in Corvallis, and the last time these two teams played there things got ugly. Real ugly.
The incident that sticks out the most was the injury to Jake Locker. He was running toward the sideline when he took a vicious - but clean - hit from Al Afalava. He left the stadium in an ambulance, but later returned in street cloths with a brace on his neck.
Then before the half, as OSU was trying to run the clock out and head into the locker room, one of the Washington defenders appeared to be trying to rip the head off of Yvenson Bernard before several of the Beaver players came to his aid. No penalty was called, but Mike Riley gave the officials an earful on the way out.
But soon after the refs really blew it. Late in the game the Beavers were driving in for a score to put the game out of reach when Bernard broke a run where he appeared to score a touchdown. He met the UW defenders near the goal line when he stretched the ball across the plane and set the ball down on the turf in the endzone. But instead of calling a touchdown, the officials ruled that it was a fumble and gave the ball to the Huskies. The crowd at Reser, and Riley, let the officials hear about it for the rest of the night.
Two years later the teams are in similar situations. OSU is surging, while Washington is fading toward another disappointing season.
Since starting off the season 2-1, featuring a huge upset over USC, the Huskies have lost five of their last six games, including a current three game skid.
Washington does have one of the biggest weapons out there in Locker, but new head coach Steve Sarkisian seems to have pulled the reigns in on the junior quarterback this season.
In 2007 Locker set a single season Pac-10 record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 986.
This year he has only run for 230 yards, averaging just 25 per game.
Defense has also been an issue for Washington. The Dawgs rank 9th in the Pac-10 in scoring defense (29.1 ppg), 9th in rushing defense (164.4 ypg), 7th in pass defense (262.6 ypg) and 9th in total defense (427 ypg).
Brian Elder - True to form, the Beavers appear to be making their annual late season rally. But OSU hasn't really had the low moments that it did in any of the previous years. The Beavs have only lost three games, those coming against undefeated and 5th-ranked Cincinnati, 11th-ranked USC and 18th-ranked Arizona. Those are three very good teams. Now Oregon State should win its next two heading into the Civil War. It all starts against the Huskies this week. Locker is dangerous, and he has been much more effective throwing the ball this year. But he hasn't shown off the scrambling ability that made him so electric in the past, and an ever-improving OSU defense should hold him in check. On offense, the Beavers should get a big day from Jacquizz Rodgers, and Sean Canfield is playing as good as any quarterback in the country right now. That's bad news for one of the Pac-10's worst defenses. OSU - 38, UW - 20
Tom Ward - The Beavers are peaking at the right time (again). The offense is clicking with the Rodgers brothers and Sean Canfield -who is playing the best ball of his career - and the Blackshirt defense was nasty against Cal. OSU finally got some pressure on the quarterback, and the Beavs did an excellent job containing Jahvid Best until that unfortunate injury. The Beaver D should stand out again. Jake Locker simply doesn't have enough help on offense, and that will keep the Dawgs grounded. OSU - 30, UW - 17
Nick Krupke - The spirits will be high at Reser Stadium for senior day. And if that wasn't enough to get the juices flowing for the Beavs, then the fact that they're playing the hated Huskies will. Sean Canfield will continue to play lights out, and he will definitely go out in style in his final game in front of the home fans. The Dawgs will keep things from getting too ugly by scoring a late touchdown in garbage time that will make the game appear closer than it really was. OSU - 27, UW - 21
Dirk Weishaar - This one might be close for a while, but the Huskies don't have what it takes to keep pace. They are a one man show with Jake Locker, and it's going to take more than that to beat the Beavers at Reser. OSU is rolling on offense, and against a bad Washington defense there should be plenty of opportunities for some big plays. OSU - 34, UW - 24
It was tough goings in the office last week, as we all combined for an 0-8 record. Ouch. But we still have a three way tie for first with Brian, Tom and Nick all still at 8-4. Dirk fell back to .500 at 6-6.

Now that I have told you the steps to becoming a pharmacist, let me tell you what a pharmacist does. When most people think of a pharmacist's role they think the monotonous routine of filling bottle after bottle with little, brightly colored capsules. In reality there is a lot more to what pharmacists do besides counting. Here is a list of other duties that pharmacists are responsible for (which ones will depend on the type of setting you are in):
- Counseling patients on the side effects, directions, and cautions with each drug
- Maintaining the stock within the store
- Helping customers choose over the counter medicines
- Advising the doctors on which medicines to use and how
- Keeping an eye out for errors in the prescriptions and calling the doctor when they do happen
- Staying up to date on your continuing education
- Supervising the technicians and double checking their work
- Making a drug into a form that fits the needs of the patient.. like a lotion, sublingual tablet, or even a doggie treat
- Making sterile solutions for surgery
- Making intravenous solutions and instructing the nurses how to use them properly
- Conducting research on an existing drug or trying to create a new one
- Teaching in a College of Pharmacy
- Working as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company
As a pharmacists you need to pay a lot of attention to detail and have good communication skills. If this caught your interest at all then you might want to go back and look at the last blog about how to become a pharmacist!! Thanks!!

Oregon's spring game on May 1 at 2 p.m. in Autzen Stadium will be televised live by ESPN2, the Ducks announced.
It will also serve as a benefit for America's armed forces, according to the announcement:
The "Support Our Troops and Families" tribute will include a four-hour Fan Fest in the Moshofsky Center prior to the final intrasquad scrimmage, as well as representation from branches of the nation's armed services, the Oregon National Guard, the Coast Guard, the American Red Cross and various veterans' organizations.

The Sealine Project (Formerly known as the Crude Oil Export Facility Reconstruction Project (COEFRP)) aims to establish the reliability of the existing pipeline system infrastructure among main terminals of onshore Fao Oil Storage Terminal (FOT), offshore Al Basrah Oil Terminal (BOT) and offshore Khor Al Amaya Terminal (KAAT). SPM is installed to keep the same existing export volumes during condition check of an existing pipeline.
The intended purpose of the Project's entire pipeline system is to provide a safe, robust, reliable, durable and cost-effective means of transmitting Oil from FOT to BOT, KAAT and Single Point Mooring (SPM).
The envisioned loading operation system requires as early as possible for normal operation; installation of a new 48 " pipeline, two valve station platforms (VS1 at BOT and VS2 at KAAT) and one SPM loading terminal. The 48" new pipeline is to be set up at the new valve station VS1 and branched to the existing BOT Loading Platform-A and the new SPM loading terminal. Moreover, the 48" pipeline is to be branched to another new valve station platform VS2 to be installed near KAAT terminal so as to interconnect and permit crude loading at the KAAT with this additional pipeline route.
LYE's scope of work is the design and installation engineering of the offshore pipelines, as well as procurement and construction.

-Pastor Zimmerman
Get to Know Huber Heights Baptist Temple:
Grow With Us in Spirit
Huber Heights Baptist Temple began in November 1972. Our first worshippers met in homes and local schools for many months. In 1975, God allowed us to construct our first building, on 7 acres of land. This church grew quickly and in May 1978, our second building was dedicated. Since that time, we've been greatly blessed by the Lord and, through his grace as well as the labor and sacrifice of his people, we have completed 3 more building programs. The Lord has allowed us to see many souls saved and lives changed. We give him all the praise.
How To Get To Heaven From Where You Are
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may Know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
I John 5:13
Four Things God Wants You To Realize To Be Sure Of Heaven!
1. You MUST Realize you are a sinner.
As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God: Romans 3:23
2. You MUST Realize because of your Sins you are going to Die.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:12
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
3. You MUST Realize that Jesus PAID your Sin Debt On The Cross.
But God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
4. Recieve Jesus as YOUR OWN Personal Saviour and BE SURE of Heaven When You Die.
That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart thy God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9 - 10
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
Jesus Will Take You To Heaven If You Ask Him In Faith! Will You Recieve Him Now As Your Own Personal Saviour And Be Sure Of Heaven When You Die?
"Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I need a Saviour. Right now I turn from my sin and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. I am trusting you and you alone for my salvation, believing that You died and rose from the grave. I thank you for saving me. Amen"
Please let us know if you prayed this prayer and trusted Christ. We would love to be of help to you as you begin your new life with Christ.

Team Obama thinks it has a secret weapon that will help them lock in the support of Latino, young and female voters this election season: celebrities.
Not only have these actors, singers, fashion icons, basketball and football players helped Obama raise funds to support his campaign, but many of them have starred in one or more of his political ads as well.
Within the last week, Obama for American campaign has rolled out ads featuring Jay-Z, who spoke of the importance of voting within African-American communities; Jane Lynch and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who spoke of LGBT issues; and Ricky Martin, who spoke of LGBT issues as well as bullying.
Martin's ad was filmed in both Spanish and English, targeting not just LGBT voters but also Latino voters. Other stars that have helped Obama's campaign get out the Latino vote include Victor Cruz, Giants wide receiver, and George Lopez.
Morgan Freeman also narrated a recent ad for Obama For America called, "Challenges." The ad indirectly mentions the death of Osama bin Laden. "Four years later, our enemies have been brought to justice," narrates Freeman, just as the video features New York firemen below a news ticker announcing bin Laden's death.
Number of Obama's celebrity supporters are female and so it comes as no surprise that throughout this election season they have been featured prominently in ads targeting female voters.
In fact, the ad "Women's Voices" features more female stars than any recent blockbuster. Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Wilde, Jane Lynch and Julianne Moore, who won an Emmy for her role as Sarah Palin in Game Change, are just a few female celebrities who appeared in the four minute video.
Elizabeth Banks filmed an ad specifically focusing on Planned Parenthood.
"President Obama has not compromised on women's rights and that's why President Obama needs to stay in office," she says in the ad.
When two New Yorker's female power players, Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour, hosted a fundraiser for Obama in New York earlier this year, SJP referred to Obama as "That Guy" – "the guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want, and the guy who created 4 million new jobs, that guy."
Beyonce starred in an ad in which she spoke not of Obama but of what having a strong Black woman such as Michelle Obama as First Lady meant to her, especially since she is now a mother herself.
And while many of these stars are recognized nation wide, they have become Obama campaign's surrogates for specific states.
In addition to filming an ad to encourage early voting, Ashley Judd filmed an ad for North Carolina. Kal Penn and Don Cheadle also filmed ads for North Carolina, while Natalie Portman, Tatyana Ali and John Legend filmed ads for Ohio, and Eva Longoria filmed one for Florida. Olivia Munn, BD Wong and Trey Songz filmed ads for Virginia, while Alexis Bledel filmed one for New Mexico, John Cho for Colorado, Gabrielle Union for Iowa, and Alicia Keys filmed one for Pennsylvania.
Here is Portman's ad filmed for Ohio:
Stars of Parks and Recreation, Adam Scott and Rashida Jones, starred in an early voting ad for Iowa. Jones also appeared alongside Jesse Tyler Ferguson in an ad soliciting quick donations from voters, where they "pocket donate" (think butt dial) to Obama's campaign. John Cho and Kal Penn, who "hosted" the DNC this year, helped register voters in Colorado by staging a competition between two college campuses and engaging young voters.
The 2012 election season is not the only season, where celebrities have been recruited by Obama's campaign to get out the vote. During the 2010 elections, when Obama was not even running, the campaign launched the Raise Your Voice campaign. Stars like Union, Penn, Legend, Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, Ben Harper and the members of the band The National filmed ads for the campaign urging Democrats to go out and vote in the mid-term elections.
Yet it isn't only the Hollywood celebrities that are coming out to support Obama. Basketball and football stars have also come out in support of the president, encouraging voters to register and cast their vote for Obama.
While the Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney has been supported by stars such as Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight, Scott Baio, Johnny Van Zant, Stacey Dash, Donald Trump, John Elway and many Olympians, rarely any celebrities have appeared in his ads.
Former professional basketball player Greg Anthony appeared in Mitt Romney's ad, explaining why four years after he voted for Obama, he will be voting Republican.
The Republicans have attacked Obama for mingling with celebrities in the past. Earlier in the spring, American Crossroads produced the following ad to slam Obama for being a "celebrity president." Most recently, their criticism came after the president appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and attended a fundraiser hosted by Jay-Z and Beyonce, but did not meet with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
To Jay-Z, Obama is not a celebrity president. In his opinion, the president represents hope. "You know, the hope of people all across the country, you know, who would look and see themselves and, you know, the possibilities," Jay-Z said.

I'd say there is a 5% he is totally done, 75% chance he returns at a diminished level, and 20% that he returns to pre-injury level. At this point, I'll be very surprised if he is playing before March 2013 and would not be shocked if he doesn't play the rest the season.

Triptych: Motion Stillness Resistance (2005) - Peter Horvath
Triptych: Motion Stillness Resistance is a generative, video-based triptych that explores three dynamics: motion, stillness and resistance. Each panel of Triptych focuses on one dynamic and uses these as visual metaphors for universal emotive and cognitive states taken from and reflecting my personal experiences. In Triptych three separate video streams run simultaneously in three panels. These videos are randomly chosen from a central database of stored footage associated with each individual panel. Self-structuring and generative, each time Triptych is viewed the outcome is unique. There is no audio component to this work.

New Street Striping Pattern on Laurel Street near CSU
Contact Information
Joe Olson, City Traffic Engineer, 970-224-6062,
Laurel Street is being re-striped between Mason Street and Shields Street adjacent to the CSU main campus in order to improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists. Work began on July 13 and is scheduled to be completed by July 16.
The striping changes create either left turn lanes or a two-way left turn lane as appropriate along the length of the street, thus reducing the likelihood for motor vehicle accidents stemming from left turns. Sections with a two-way left turn lane also provide space for pedestrian refuge on Laurel making it easier for students to cross.
The re-striping is the result of an analysis of accident history that found a higher than expected number of rear end and/or left turn accidents at some signalized intersections.
The analysis also noted numerous pedestrian conflicts at several of the other non-signalized intersections along Laurel. Many of the conflicts were due to the width and multiple lanes on Laurel Street. The re-striping plan is intended to reduce these conflicts thereby making it easier for pedestrians to cross Laurel.
No significant increases in motorist delay are expected along Laurel as a result of this reconfiguration. City traffic engineers anticipate minor changes to the signal timing to expedite traffic movement in this area.

The banners went up last week just hours after Spencer County schools got the news. The district, for the first time, has been noted as Distinguished following the release of scoring data from the Kentucky Department of Education.
The KDE's Unbridled Learning results were released Thursday and Spencer County continued it's improvement, ranking 38 out of 173 districts in Kentucky. Spencer County is among the highest ranking schools in the area, trailing only traditional academic powerhouses like Anchorage Independent Schools and Oldham County.
No injuries or damage were reported when a small earthquake rattled residents of nearby counties late Monday night.
The tremor, which measured a magnitude 2.7 on the U.S. Geological Survey, was reportedly centered about six miles north northwest of Shelbyville, and was also felt in Henry and Oldham counties. There were no reports of it being felt in Spencer County.
The earthquake occurred around 11 p.m. Monday.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court Monday approved the purchase of two new heart monitors for the ambulance service, a purchase that could prove to be lifesaving for heart patients.
Chris Limpp, Emergency Services Management Director, told members of the court that the county had a unique opportunity to purchase two state-of-the-art monitors that would improve their ability to treat and diagnose patients who may be suffering life-threatening heart-attacks.
Project Graduation Pork Chop Lunch
SCHS Project Graduation is hosting a Pork Chop Lunch starting at 12 p.m. on Friday, October 9, at 36 W. Main Street in Taylorsville. The cost is $7.00 per lunch, which includes a pork chop sandwich, chips, drink and cookies.
Blood Drive at First Baptist Church
Governor Steve Beshear and the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security have announced that the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District has been awarded an $18,000 grant to purchase personal protective equipment for firefighting.
"The Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District is grateful to Governor Steve Beshear and the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security for their support of our request for funding," said Chief Nathan Nation.
Leaders of the Kentucky School Boards Association, who represent the state's 173 public school districts, say decisions about when schools start are best made at the local level.
At its quarterly meeting in Frankfort Saturday, the KSBA Board of Directors pledged to oppose any legislation that would take from local school boards any powers to set and manage academic calendars.
It comes as two state lawmakers say they will push legislation in 2016 that would bar schools from starting classes earlier than the Monday closest to Aug. 26.
U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Hopkinsville, announced Tuesday that he will not seek re-election to a 12th term in Western and Southern Kentucky's 1st Congressional District.
"Representing the people of the first district for 21 years has been an honor," Whitfield, 72, said in a statement. "I will cherish forever the countless opportunities to work with them to nurture and strengthen the 35 counties comprising Kentucky's first district."
A new feature on the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' website at fw.ky.gov is a document detailing the department's accomplishments toward its Strategic Plan over the last two years under the leadership of Commissioner Gregory K. Johnson.
Fall Festival at Spencer Christian
Spencer Christian Church will be hosting a Fall Festival this Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the church, located at 5720 Taylorsville Road, in Elk Creek. There will be fun for the whole family, including a pig roast, live music and games, contests, a cake walk, hay rides and much more. Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy this free event.
Tent Revival
A few years ago I had a chance to travel to Marble Colorado and visit the marble mines there. Now, when I think of marble, I think of the monuments in cemeteries, the decoration on courthouses, things like that. In fact, the marble from this area was used to build the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

hi all,
what is the Maximum Number of concurrent sessions in iis 7 and how can i find it and modifying if it modified.
thanks and best regards.
Dec 30, 2009 10:21 AM|Rovastar|LINK
Most connection limits are TCP connection limits in windows not strictly IIS.
However from what I understand they have not changed from Windows 2003/IIS6 to Windows 2008/IIS7.x
Also there are a few other additional connection settings you can set.
Have a look at this blog post and ignore the php stuff if you are not using it.

There is concurrent session in ASP, which can be found out from Site -> ASP (Double-Click) ... at the bottom expand session properties.
Also, there are concurrent connections set for each website which can be found by selecting the website and then selecting Advanced settings in the action pane. Then expand connection limits to read or modify those.
Hope this helps...
Dec 30, 2009 11:34 AM|Rovastar|LINK
Yeah each technology will have different "session" limitations this is different to server concurrent connections.

Mapping Complaints: 311 Dials Up Its Web Presence
Next time trash is overflowing on your block or snow remains unplowed, New Yorkers can check if anyone else has called in the same complaint with the city's new 311 map.
The latest tool released by the city shows open and recently closed calls to 311 filed in the last five days depicted as small yellow dots on a map. The map displays unresolved complaints from the past three months and stores data from the past year. After a complaint is filed the city says it will show up on the map within 24 hours.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, who unveiled the application Wednesday, said the map was created to help residents hold government accountable.
"Instead of looking at every problem that comes in as a single isolated problem to be solved, this information will allow activists, community leaders and interested neighbors to propose solutions, as well as hold us accountable on a day to day basis," Goldsmith said.
New Yorkers can go to the 311 Web site and scroll over their neighborhood or they can search by 15 categories, which include snow, noise and quality of life.
The map currently shows a dark red splotch over Inwood and Washington Heights -- the community district with the most complaints -- where 6,444 complaints are logged.
As of Wednesday afternoon, there are 129 noise complaints, 273 street and sidewalk complaints, among others, citywide.
Although the map shows a large number of complaints, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a verifiable problem at the location. Another issue is that a complaint can be closed, but it doesn't mean it has been solved.
Goldsmith is hoping that this information will be helpful to developers of the city's BigApps challenge, which encourages programmers to use city data to create useful web applications.
"One of the most important things is the marking of as specific issue, which allows for a conversastion to occur around that common complaint," said Ben Berkowitz, the CEO of SeeClickFix, a company which creates maps that let users track neighborhood issues. He's excited about the new 311 map, but says when you focus on specific issues, it's easier for communities to have conversations and fix problems, "and create bonds in neighborhoods."
The information used to create the map has been available in the past, but could only be accesses through a Freedom of Information request. No specific user information can be found on the map.

Tell Obama To 'Just Say No' to Joe
A White House online petition telling Obama to listen to the voters of Colorado and Washington about the future of cannabis legalization, not the famously anti-cannabis/pro drug war architect Vice President Joe Biden, only needs 7,000 more signatures to be brought to the president's attention. The signatures are needed by Wednesday, January 9.
If you've not yet taken a moment to let the White House know that you too support the voters of Colorado and Washington, please sign the online petition to put it over the top, and get the White House on record to not interfere with the will of voters in states who no longer support cannabis prohibition and want it legalized and taxed.

Listen to the voters of Colorado and Washington, and people all around the nation, about the future of cannabis legalization. Lower budgets in prison and jails. And you can TAX cannabis at a high prices. It would be a smart move and would make the people happy; your people.
President Obama it is time to start listening to the people and realize that marijuana laws are hurting and not helping the our country. If you are a president for the people listen to the people.
Dear Mr. President,
I ask that we follow the principles set in place when this country was founded and respect the rights of the individual state. Please respect the residents rights in the states of Colorado and Washington to enjoy they laws that they had voted on and passed. Thank you for your time and understanding on this important issue.

We know that there is overwhelming scientific evidence that has proven the fact that weed cures cancer! Has over 250 medicinal properties and is the safest drug on the face of the earth! It is not what FEDS or DEA have intentionally lied about for the last 40yrs. It's borderline insane to keep misleading the American people with lies and falsehoods that weed is in the same or anywhere near the class as schedule 1 drug such as is heroin! It's bold face lie and to be truthful America is tired of this corrupt law against weed! To keep weed illegal is a crime against humanity. Weed is as safe as Ice Cream. What country spends $583 million a month fighting a Ice Cream war? This one does! This hate against weed and wishes of 78% of America must stop!
free the herb!!!! it's the prescription drugs that are dangerous!!!
just signed it. you know how much easier it would be to go off weed to lower your tolerance if it was legal and always there for you? Why do people have such a problem with other people feeling good? They probably have no pleasure for themselves and don't want others to feel good. Alcohol sucks! So do cigarettes. Why the FUCK are those our 2 choices for recreational drugs? Fucking amazing! Such are the follies of humans… Try to be a good person. Not a pile of crap like john boehner or the dea. Money doesn't matter cause you WILL die eventually. You're not going to live to 158… God dam!
The only way Obama is going to respond in the affirmative is if we play the race card. Tell him over and over again that the origins of marijuana prohibition were directed specifically at YOUR RACE. Had you been arrested for your own personal use as a youth, you would not be president today. Therefore you have AN OBLIGATION to end prohibition.

Dear Mr. President,
Why must we continue to suffer and punished, are families torn apart because of what should b legal or decrimminalized at the least. Our jails continue to be filled with our love ones that.do not belong in the system. I personnally have to take 10 different prescriptions ,a back stimulator, pain patches, shots, really if the system was smart they would use Marijuana as a new commodiy and make a lot of revenue and no deficit. Even.stoners can figure out , THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER , HEALTHIER PLACE TO LIVE!. SINCERELY SUFFERING MOTHER!!!

re: St. Nick's post-
– and then some-
1) cigarettes are as addictive, if not moreso, as heroin! (I have a friend who was able to quit heroin and cigs were just as bad to him, his statement was 'harder to quit than
2) alcohol affects one's ability to function more than almost anything else!
(I have only ever seen 2 chemicals prevent a person from being able to use their cell phone:
crack and alcohol)
MORE addictive, and MORE confusion causing
yet THESE are allowed
between cigarettes and alcohol
most other drugs are less bad for user and society, and health, and should therefore be legal-
let alone that marijuana is about as unhealthy as a bowl off oranges-
– oranges in too large a quantity can cause some issues, and some are allergic
but most are fine with marijuana…
the lack of logic on the other side in this debate is amazing
That criminal doesn't give a HOOT about people or rights.
Dear President Obama, My mother is in the hospital dying from congenative heart failure. For years she has been prescribed a miriad of drugs to help her deal with chronic pain caused by scoliosis. At 62,I too have the same disease but I refuse to put chemically altered drugs in my system.
I ask you if this was your beloved mother in law, who was suffering, which would you rather have her using? Something that destroys the kidneys, eats holes in the stomach lining, weakens the heart muscle, jeopardizes the liver and has caused millions to overdose,or something natural, that no one has ever died from. Please take a moment to put yourself in my shoes and let this become legal in my lifetime. The choice should be up to each individual and their physician and not some politician. Tell Biden NO! Thank you
now sc and georgia please.
everyone is concerned with debt.make it legal and tax the hell out of it.WE will still pay and we can get rid of synthetics if its cheap and legal to purchases the real stuff.alchohol is proven to be worse for you and the safety of others on and off the roads,Yet we can get it anywhere…WTF…
some of us are smokers not drinkers…where is our buzz…..we dont want bud light .just the bud for me please….
when you drink you get into wrecks,fights,bad women lol,and all kinds of trouble.when you smoke you make friends get happy and hungry.which is the one that should really be legal
Please Please Mr President take your lips off the spinkter valve of the corperate dictatership.
I did my part, my wife just got her MMJ card. We still need to regulate and tax like alcohol….. Free the Weed!
C'mon, Barry, let's go choomin', don't be a hypocrite! Free the Weed, goddammit!
listen to the voters!
To whom it may concern,
Victimization, demonization, and inappropriate litigation of marijuana smokers in an uncouth and unjust practice on American citizens by the so called American justice system. Legalization and taxation of marijuana [in small quantities and among persons over a legal age] is not a threat to civility and nationalistic esteem. Let the voters of individual states decide what laws on marijuana should be made. As a matter of fact, make legal at the federal level, that way, this conversation is irrelevant.
One point that is disturbing, The DEA sets the listing of substances that make it onto the CSA's list of controlled substances. So the they are in charge of their own dictatorship. Only they can take substances off or put substances on. If money is to be made, what incentive would they have to taking something off the list? Even in the face of science, they will not move. I think this power should be taken away from the DEA, who have become tyrants over the population. They do it in the name of "safety", but in reality, they are in it for their own survival. Without the money from Cannabis, they would, more than likely, go out of business.
Let my people go, DEA.
I pray for the persecuted prisoners.
I have written my Senator, stating that this should be taken away….what are you waiting for?
What really made me ill was when Obama and Biden met with the I think firefighter in the White House Garden to have a beer and talk over things. I dont know why you can sit there and drink a substance that is much more harmful than marijuana and be against legalization of marijuana. Kids get it now easier than alcohol so we need to legalize it to get the kids consumption down.
Dear President Obama,
decriminialization and legalization is realization. We, as a nation, should see, and have already seen the benefits of medical marijuana. Alcohol is physically addictive, and is one of the few drugs that can cause death from withdrawal. And opiates? Highly addictive, expensive and devastating. Please say "yes" to saying "no," maybe someday Iowa will wake up to the idea as Colorodo and Washington have.
You guys realize that they pick and choice what to respond to ? I have signed and seen several petition meet the 25k signatures ,not one has been replied too O_O in fact the things they do reply to are pretty stupid topics imo
Who actually likes Joe Biden. Screw that POS…
Please listen to what the people want and legalize weed. There are so much more harmful things that are legal.
Hear the people.
Signed and promoted on Twitter.
Better listen Joe, better listen…
Most of us has seen how the incumbent vice-president Biden have acted during the vice-president debates against congressman Paul Ryan. Therefore, vice-president Biden is also that way with marijuana reform. There is no way anyone can get through to Biden with the facts. And it doesn't matter anymore of the outcome of his reefer madness because president Obama has won his second term.
The states must stand their own ground. It is each of the states strong will that made this country great. They've earned it. If they don't have a voice from the people, then it's slavery.
Dear Mr. President,
I have but two questions.
cannibis itself hurts no one and has so many proven uses industrially and medically.
The only organizations truly profiting from cannibis is the drug cartels, and the county jails (ex: the government).
1. Why is that the case?
2. Having admitted smoking pot. Do you think you would still have become president if you had been put in jail for smoking it?
Why haven't these people been arrested for smoking "the pot"?

I'm sick as hell and I know what works after twenty different types of pills that almost killed me. Nausea 24/7,vomiting , diahreaa. I'm consumed by gastroparesis. I know what works for me cannabis. But I can't get any anymore. I might as well just die. I have no quality of life.I KNOW WHAT WORKS AND IT"S NOT JOE> I"M FROM DELAWARE> GET IT!
Thank you
The White House's Response?
"Marijuana is on the Schedule One List of Narcotics, meaning it is federally illegal for the possession, sale, consumption, anal insertion, blah blah blah, of marijuana. Marijuana is not a benign drug, blah blah blah."
They're going to just give another canned response like last time.
I'd like to see a petition started off by asking Obama if he thinks its right that millions of others have spent jail time or had to pay a crap ton of fines for something he always got away with doing.
a black man in a gang smoking weed? bloods, crips, or chooms. he should be jailed,ha ha just kidding free the weed so nobody goes to jail!!do i care if someone rides a unicycle or is gay or shoots heroin or eats flys for dinner,no i fucking dont ! just dont force your agendas on me,i ride 2 wheels my 1 friend is gay another ex heroin adict my chicken eats flys for dinner and of coarse I SMOKE WEED SO LEAVE US ALL ALONE!!legalize drugs..scripts kill more people than heroin and crack..a drug user knows the risks a hospital goer doesnt..
anyone that dose not sopport cannabis like joe here wants these thugs that work in the drug companys and people that work in law enforcment and courts that also dont want it legal want people dead including children because every single drug you could possibly take that the hospitals gives you other than cannabis witch you cant get it every where kills you slowly again whats the magic number of deaths from cannibis taken in any way from ANY AGE never the less ZERO and it doesn't even kill brain cells thers NO argument so why oppose it??? I could make any one feel like **** in a courtroom if i ever got arrested for cannabis because ill talk all day about this and shoot down all myths there mind games dont work on me
Time to get out of the dark ages. Legalize marijuana. Make the laws for legalization "for the people" instead of "against the people". Use the tax money for more constructive things…like paying down the debt (state), schools and the likes. OR does that make too much sense?? Might even slow crime down…ya think?
So the tax man comes. Who works hard and pays taxes. I do, Tax the hell out of weed no. When it comes to weed and the war on drugs I just don't feel like I owe the goverment a whole hell of a lot.
If you people really think the fascist pig that is Obama actually will help us than you're living in a dream world. You don't need to a petition to show him, its well known that more than half the country wants it legalized and Im sure he knows this, yet he does nothing about it. Every American needs to stop paying their taxes. They they can't arrest everyone in the country right?
Big pharma nearly killed me, they can't have any more of my $. Nature provided the cure; prohibition of marijuana is a crime against nature AND humanity. Get your head's out of your asses, filthy politicians.
Exactly folks, the only issues that seem to negative regarding marijuana are people that are suffering from a particular type of schizophrenia. And this makes sense, since marijuana effects the number of new synapses by increasing them. In most people this will help you learn; but in schizophrenia the new synapses are somehow directed into the wrong places. So pot can exaggerate the symptoms of this one mental disease. So what? So can a lot of other things or even just situations. On the flip side, there are hundreds of other conditions that marijuana can help with.
I feel it is our right and private business to medicate how we feel is best for each individual himself. Marijuana has so many good qualities and benefits I am wondering why it was criminalized to begin with. Maybe we wouldn't have so much cancer, ADHD, ADD or Alzheimer had it been legal all along. I know our forefathers had intended for us to use hemp and all parts of this weed that was to help make our country grow strong. Please tell Joe no and make our lives much, much better. Thank you for listening! Have an incredible day:)
I support the recent voter approval legalization in Colorado, and Washington states. The Federal government needs to let the people decide about the legalization of canabis and support the will of the people.
You do realize that the web site is a bunch of phoney baloney bs. They only respond to petions they want to doesn't really matter how many people sign it.just saying.I support norml
President Obama just needs to say YES to cannabis legalization
Back at what Michelle said. The USA would of been much better off if cannabis would of never have been prohibited.Marijuana prohibition has alot to do with global warming
Im from California where medical cannabis is legal. We can only get delivery services and there is not very many dispensaries open here anymore. We legal paitents need our dispensaries back but with a fair reguations wich will prove safe for those who legaly qualify. More people are dying from legaly prescribed by a doctor pills.cough syrups,uppers,downers,death more from alcohol and guns.even tobacco is a big killer. But can you find a record that has been broken saying that millions of people die everyday from simple o cannabis? The Answer is No! It has been found throughout its History to be beneficial and harmful for thousands of years. At one time in America cannabis was legal or not criminalized like it is today. Times have change,people are going back to natural medicines and herbs that have always proved beneficial for various ailments. So Mr. comander and chief please consider cannabis patiants make it easier for us to get our Meds.
"Weed is as safe as Ice Cream."
not true. ice cream, consumed consistently in large quantities, can lead to obesity, which can lead to death. marijuana, consumed consistently in large quantities, can lead to falling asleep.
ppl have literally died from having pianos fallen on their heads (like in cartoons). so you're more likely to die from that, or a vending machine tipping over onto you, or being kidnapped by a terrorist, or being mauled by a Siberian tiger, or being outside on a really hot day, than from using weed.
technically, you can die from laughter. so i suppose that though it hasn't reportedly happened yet, you can die from weed that way.
yeah nvm weed is really dangerous, it's better to keep it illegal and keep cigarettes and alcohol legal, those are much safer alternatives and they're even healthy for you (mentally and physically).
Obama must listen to the vote voice of CA & WA. Cannabis fertilization has to be make legal so that all the people will get its medical benefits. I agree and have to issue about putting some rules like children going to school not to have smoking .

Please pardon the mess - I'm making some changes to my blog. This look is very similar to the one I had starting out in December, 2003. I like the "fiery" orange look which matches the blog title as well as having more space to post. I also think this is a more cheerful look.
What do you think? I would love to have some sunflowers or daffodils here and may look into that in the future.
