So took my bike up from the laundry room (using it on the rollers) to lube it up & noticed this.
This is the bike i just got in November 06 & hardly ridden.

As an aside, I picked up a pair of sidi bullets. If you buy Sidi shoes, *don't* use the stock mounting bolts which use a very small diameter hex. I stripped on with almost no force at all and am now trying to figure out how to get it out
Aggh!!! John, that suxors!

This is not as bad as it seems. Your frame is toast, but that's a warranty replacement if ever I've seen one. Contact the shop you bought it from and they'll contact their (Trek?) rep. You'll probably end up w/ an '07 version of the same bike.Originally Posted by sweep242
At the very least it'll be annoying to have to wait for replacement frame to come in. That sucks though sweep.

Shut the **** up. Anyway, I quit smoking. It's been close to a month now so I'm pretty confident I'm not going to freak out and start again now. Woot. The only change I've noticed other than being even more angry all the time is my mouth feels a lot less ganky in the morning. Hopefully my lungs will show me some sort of improvement but the time roadie scum season swings into full gear.

Women's snowboarding is moving at the speed of light, and the Ride Women's Sash Boa Coiler Snowboard Boot is flying the ship. Built from the ground up on a women-specific last and featuring the customizable LDS C.A.T. cuff, the Sash Boa is a medium-flexing boot for the intermediate to advanced rider. And if you're not smitten by the all-mountain prowess of the Sash Boa alone, you will definitely be crushing on the luxurious fit and chic exterior.
Boa lacing lets you get in and out of your boots quickly and easily, and The Closer lace guide evenly distributes lace tension for a consistent, reliable, and comfy fit. Because ladies' calves sit lower on their legs then mens', LSD C.A.T. (Calf Adjustment Technology) allows you to adjust the back of the boot cuff for a custom fit in the calf zone. While on the subject of custom fits, the Intuition liner is heat-moldable and features a Lock Down Turbo liner lacing to keep your heel locked down, improving response and reducing fatigue.
The Jade outsole is made with rubber for traction and durability, and an internal EVA midsole damps vibrations for a smooth ride. A 3D-Formed Dual-Density EVA insole features a soft EVA formula for comfort and a harder second density where you need the extra support.

- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
My sister currently uses these boots and has no complaints. She really likes the boa system since she drives out to the mountain and all her friends are already ready. All she has to do is cinch these up and head out.
Expanding calf area = expanding COMFORT
I bought these boots originally because I wanted a lightweight boot with the boa system. I didn't even realize the greatest feature on this boot until I got them. The liner of the boot has an expandable Velcro system you can adjust to fit the back of your calf. This gives you complete support while adding extra room for ladies calves, (ladies naturally have lower calves) I loved this feature. The Boa system was quick and easy and gave me total support. These boots are pretty dang light as well. So far, I don't have any complaints.

Putting the Party Back in Star Party -HS Outreach
Posted 18 January 2014 - 07:08 PM
(A little background: I'm a junior in high school, and I do a lot of outreach with my astronomy clubs, but most of that is with either small children or adults, and I'm trying to get more kids my age into astronomy.)
The problem (it seems) with engaging with other high schoolers is trying to convince them to give up their Saturday nights and spend it looking through a photon tube in the freezing cold My solution to this is to pair astronomy with something high schoolers love, partying and hanging out.
I alpha tested this idea in late December with 8 friends and we did some observing for about an hour or so (until the clouds rolled in), then we went in to warm up. Inside we just hung out, played billiards and air hockey, etc. I tried to make it fun, yet educational at the same time by explaining some of the science behind the objects we viewed and how different telescope designs work.
I received quite a bit of good feed back from those in attendance, even from those who arrived late and got clouded out. I'll be doing another test run in next week, and I was wondering if anyone had experience with such a thing, or if anyone had any other ideas for introducing high schoolers to astronomy.
Posted 25 January 2014 - 11:43 PM
I applaud you for this. I would do similar with my parents' friends when I was young, but I was too hesitant with my high school friends. Good of you to mix it up. You may never know what you may 'trip up' with this small effort, although it may be years from now.
The skies can be contagious - - for some people. Even for those who aren't enamored with the skies, they will know that this means a great deal to you. Those who can, will respect you for it.
I recommend that you stay with the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep it simple) and stay with planets and the Moon, or other very obvious objects like M42 or M31. Without explaining the science behind it, the "Whoa!" factor won't sink in, so keep it up.
Those who are impressed (or are "infected" like me) should be directed to local club outreach efforts. A little exposure begs for more exposure.
Posted 26 January 2014 - 03:47 AM
Posted 27 January 2014 - 06:21 AM
Jim: I've mostly be sticking to the show pieces, but I've found that after showing the bright objects some are more impressed when I hunt down some of the faint and small galaxies!
Pat: unfortunately I havent been able to do another one yet I had one scheduled, but unexpected clouds rolled in about a hour before it started. It doesn't appear I will be able to do anything anytime soon. This Ohio weather is brutal this year!

Indeed. +1
John Dobson would be proud of you......
I really enjoy M35-37, almost anyone can see them, and they just look forever deep. Bummer on the party getting clouded out, there are bound to be some good weekends in the future.
Posted 28 January 2014 - 08:42 PM
John Dobson would be proud of you......
Thank you!
Dobson is one of my idols, and that means a lot. If I could make just a small fraction of his impact in spreading astronomy I will be happy!

John Dobson would be proud of you......
Well done!
Posted 02 February 2014 - 06:59 AM
I like your idea of making it fun after doing some viewing with your friends.
Posted 21 February 2014 - 11:21 PM
I just got in from doing another session tonight! It had half as many as last time due to about 4 hours of notice before it started. I got home, saw the clear sky chart showed good, and decided to have a star party!
This one was more observing based (no clouds, finally!), but we did spend quite a bit of time just sitting around the telescope talking and the like.
As far as observing went, I did the show pieces like Jupiter, Orion, Pleiades, and the Double Cluster. After the big bright objects I went on to some of the fainter nebulae and galaxies, not expecting much reaction, but I was thoroughly surprised! The biggest hit of the night proved to be the supernova in M82! They were all really awed by being able to see the light of a single star exploding over 12 million light years away.
Overall, it was another great night sharing the wonders of the universe with some friends who otherwise would have probably never seen the wispy clouds of Orion or the beauty of a nice star cluster
Posted 23 March 2014 - 11:32 PM
John Dobson must be posthumously smiling.
I live 50 some miles outside of Chicago and local astromony clubs are too distant for me to actively get involved. The scheduled star parties tend to be on weekends (and I am usually working) or they get clouded over. So lately I have left word at a very nearby Jr high school for the principal, but the secretary passed it onto the science teachers and have yet to hear from them.
I understand your frustration. But as in the movie "Contact" phrased it something like 'small steps...'
I have taken the steps to just do a John Dobson spin-off and was just setting up the telescope on the town public square surrounded by lights but showing the usual crowd pleasing "big ticket items" like Jupiter, Orion sights, Gemini & Big Dipper star splitting fun.
Good Luck Jmandell
Posted 03 April 2014 - 07:40 PM
April is Global Astronomy Month, and this Saturday, April 5, is the Global Star Party. I currently have planned my biggest event yet, hoping to have 15-20 throughout the night! Also, I'm planning another party for the lunar eclipse on the 15th before school! Expect reports on these soon.
Thank you all for your encouragement!!! I'd love to hear any ideas as to improving these things if you have any!
Posted 03 April 2014 - 08:08 PM
Posted 03 April 2014 - 08:30 PM
You know the young people of your age and therefore how to reach them. Great idea! However, once they see something through the telescope, they are reached in a special way, right?
I have noticed that I've hooked 5 or so who keep coming back for more!

I had my biggest turn out yet, with a total of 14 getting to look at the wonders of the skies. By far the favorite object was not the moon or Jupiter, but rather the globular cluster M3! I was quite surprised by this (and rather pleased because globs are my favorite objects )!
Some of the comments from the event included:
"An awesome night!"
"A Brilliant time, need to do it again soon!", and my personal favorite:
"Super happy fun astronomy time!"
All in all it was a wonderful evening and I think it really helped get some of the kids into astronomy!

I feel like this might be more vindictive than noble since there is not a deserving spouse to break the news to. However, I still feel like affairs and adultery should have consequences. Also, it might be the final thing neccessary to make him cut it off with her for good (if they have not already).
The people I found I'm only MOSTLY sure about whether they are his immediate family. For example, I have two people that may or may not be his mom and dad. Therefore I run the risk of contacting people who are completely unaffiliated. The only other thing is possibly the risk of him retaliating by making trouble for my W at work; but that's neither here nor there right now.
Anyway, has anyone ever decided to "tell on" their OM/OW's partner when they were not married and if so, what message is best used? I've been able to write some amazing letters lately except this one! All I have so far is "I want you to know what he did and what kind of person he is....." blah blah blah.
Thanks for any insight
Just remember if you do this, they are his family and love him, you may not get the results that you want, and you may just sound like the crazy scorned spouse. It is really hard to think that someone that could do this, is loved by anyone, but they are.
I feel your pain.
Good luck in your choice.
I felt that way even though I understand nothing good could come from it and I avoided doing it simply because I did not think it was worth the jail time and drama explained to my kids. If I saw him waddle past me tomorrow I don't know that I could keep myself from just reaching out to grab him by the neck and shake him liken etch a sketch.
One of those things that just sits there to deal with in all its irrational glory.

Does he know that you know?
Others may not agree but what about contacting him and letting the little snot know that you know what's going on. Not sure what the age dynamics are at play here but guys at that age might get scared if a silverback calls to put him in his place.
No threats, just a notification that you don't take kindly to having your life F'd with.
You're not going to get the response you want from him anyway. Since they didn't work together, and there's no other spouse, there's really nobody in a position to hold him accountable in his own life.
Find out if your W is truly in R, and work on yourself first and foremost. You deserve every scrap of energy you have to build yourself back up.
Never make someone a priority who considers you an option
Keep the Faith, but Ration the Trust, It is better to be pissed off than pissed on
"For a minute there I lost myself"
I don't think it's worth your effort.
In my experience helping others, unfortunately it is more often than not that the OM ends it after exposure. Wayward wives flip flop and can't decide what they want. One day they want you...the next OM. OM dumping her because she's just too much trouble and, now that the affair isn't a secret any more just not much fun anymore (plus mom and aunt Vicky are giving him crap) is a GREAT outcome. Also, even if it doesn't work immediately...it will someday since they will never be able to claim they just hooked up after you two separated/divorced.
Some more recently betrayed husband's will get caught up in the mind game of thinking it matters whether their WW ends the affair themselves or not. It doesn't and ending the affair anyway you can sooner rather than later is the best way to at least get a shot at recovery (before you really start hating her).
She will go ballistic on you after you expose. Do not threaten or forewarn her at all or you'll just make this anger worse. Your marriage can survive her anger...it can't survive a lingering intruder.
Here's one draft of an exposure letter:
Dear friends and family,
I am writing you this message because you are an important person in the lives of xxxx and I. As some of you know, xxxxx has recently asked me for a separation, which has shattered my heart. To my shock, I am saddened to have discovered that the reason is because she has been carrying on an affair with a co-worker some of you may even know named xxxxx xxxxx who resides in xxxxxx. He is also married and has young children . The purpose of the separation is so that she can carry on her affair without my interference.
She refuses to end the affair. I want our marriage to recover from this affair. If you have any influence on my wife, please do what you can to get her to stop this dangerous affair. I want to stay married, but the affair must end.
As our friends and family, I am asking that you use your influence with xxxx or xxxxx to persuade her or him to end the affair so we can try to work on our marriage. Our marriage can be salvaged if she would only end the affair. Please support her in doing the right thing. Please support our marriage.
I would so appreciate your support and prayers.
Warmest regards,

Warmest regards,
I don't think you are going to get the response from these people that you think you will. 23 year old boys will probably glamorize the whole thing. Mommy's are very forgiving and will usually go after whoever is harming their cub.
I don't think it's worth your effort.
It just takes ONE PERSON in the RIGHT POSITION to make a difference. Betrayed spouses are everywhere and whether it be an aunt, a grandfather, a friend or whomever...if someone of influence steps up it can make a huge difference. Especially on OM's side of things....he's a young impressionable barely mature boy of 23. His friends and family CAN likely have a huge influence.
If it was my 23 year old kid and they lived at home...I'd give them 15 seconds to end it forever or disown them.
I'll offer myself up as exhibit #1. Once my MIL was told...within hours she called the OM in our lives, threatened him and told him she'd give him one day before she came over to literally whoop him (she'd known him for years - childhood friend of my wife's) AND talk with his parents (30+ year old that lived at home after a recent divorce himself). She was convincing. Within 24 hours he dumped my wife FOREVER (while also being sworn to secrecy so my wife had no idea why he was ending it (which also worked out well for us as I didn't have to endure the short term shit-storm following many exposures).
Then you can do Plan B or Plan 180 or whatever.
p.s. - Again...the shit-storm will be huge. She will make you regret what you've done and you'll be second guessing yourself for a few days or weeks but in the end it's the best and only weapon to bust up the affair. Very few regret exposing.

They ask you something like "what you are up to now" and i wrote "i'm a hooker and suck as many dicks as i can by the hour" and "what do you want for the future" something about "wanting to ruin the lives of families, wives and children across america" somthing like that. It's still there...she doesn't know it's there, I guess i should delete it...someday.
I have a daughter who is 28 and if a woman called me and told me what she had done i'd have tried everythign to make it stop and really slammed my kid, but in the end, i love her no matter what she does....so if it makes you feel better, go for it, but don't expect huge outcomes. Don't do what i did...in hindsight it felt better for a little while, but now i kind of don't care so much about her anymore.
I am writing to you because you are a friend/family of X. I have recently learned that XX is engaging in an adulterous affair with my wife of ## years. We have ## children whose names are blank and blank. I love my wife deeply and we cannot work on our marriage while XX is still a part of her life. I implore you to use whatever influence you may have on XX to convince him the error of his ways by interfering with a marriage. I am committed to making my marriage work. Any help you can provide in keeping my children's family intact would be forever appreciated.
Good luck!!
Expose the affair but expose HER family, friends, co workers, etc. These are people who know you and would be sympathetic.
Finally, don't go at this like it's a game or a plan to win back your wife or secure your marriage. Your wife cant unfuck this punk, that bird has flown. If you are going to expose this kid then you should do it for the reasons you said in your original post - because you want people in his life to know what a shit bag he is. Any other positive returns you get are serendipitous at best.
He's still wet behind the ears, and in fratboy mode. I have NO idea why a mature woman would even think about going there, but I digress....
I think you need to do a HARD 180, for yourself first and foremost. You might give fratboy a call and fill him in on how much it takes to support wifey and the two kids. I'm sure in his MILF fantasy life he hasn't thought THAT over.
Then, cut her loose. If she pulls her foggy head out of her ass and decides to grow the hell up, fine and good - *IF* you still want this woman in your life.
Do what you need to do to protect you and your kids.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to
change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.

I did not worry about anger from my H because he knew I was ready to gut him.
She knew he was married and should have listened when he said his wife was mean!
Fast forward to a short while later ie 2 months after the end of 3m False R ("I'll do WHATEVER it takes for as long as it takes" and other bull) and she comes up as a suggested connection on LinkedIn because they are now connected. It would have come up for my friends and colleagues connected to him too (I've unlinked him). More humiliation - he's such a monster. I'm guessing he lied and said I sent it. I'm the crazy bitter ex now.
In asking him to send it I inadvertently gave her some of my power.
I guess that's my long-winded way of saying it won't give you peace and could add to your pain. He is not your problem - your WW is. Try not to lose focus and get lost in the OP-hating quagmire. The only person who suffers from hatred is the hater, not the hated.
((PID)) I've been we're you are friend and it sucks a big hairy monkeys arse. But you need to stay focused on you lest this consumes you. He is not the reason she cheated - he's just the next douche to blow in her ear.
More hugs ((PID)) - you'll probably ignore the advice as lots of us do. Just brace yourself if you do.

When the MOW and her BS wouldn't do what was necessary to stop the A I contacted both of their mothers.
Well it didn't give me any satisfaction because her mom told me that she barely saw her and her daughter didn't contact her much. Felt bad for her mother but it confirmed what a bitch she was. When I called her MIL she told me the same thing and that her DIL dresed like a whore all her life.
So, apart from her family now knowing that she was a home wrecker, both women were sad for my kids and me. It ended any vengeance towards her and then I didn't care if my XH ended up with the whore, actually hoped he would.
He is not your problem - your WW is. Try not to lose focus and get lost in the OP-hating quagmire. The only person who suffers from hatred is the hater, not the hated.
Yes, this guy is wrong for having an A w/your wife. However, YOUR WIFE is the one that was supposed to be faithful & committed to you!
Does she still work with him?

Neshoba County, Miss. Neshoba County authorities are investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred around midnight.
Sheriff Tommy Waddell says a 911 call brought deputies to County Line Apartments on Highway 491 in southern Neshoba County. He says deputies and medical personnel discovered 30-year-old Monique Green dead at the scene.
"What I observed on the scene is possibly just one stab wound to the upper part of the chest area," said Waddell. "A motive at this time is unclear. We do believe that it stemmed from a domestic dispute."
Waddell said a man was taken into custody. However, the sheriff did not immediately release his name pending a full investigation.

A german site, digitalkamera.de has provided additional info on the coming Sony A500 and A850. While there a few mysteries left to the Sony A850 since the full manual leaked online, details of the Sony A500 (other than it's existence) has been scant.
If the report is to be believed, which it appears credible, the Sony A500 specs appear to be as follows: [Read more…]

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette 2013 Spoilers: Who Goes Home Next in Antigua?
It is time for us all to decide who we are, do we fight for the right to unite over Desiree Hartsock's winner? Had you been there in Antigua, you might also have known how her world may be changed in just one "Will you accept this rose?" And what we thought was right may be wrong, and what we've been told is wrong, may be right.
All Les Miserables sing-alongs aside (five points toward awesomeness if you knew that's what we were ripping off), Des has some tough decisions left to make when she heads to Antigua with Brooks Forester, Chris Siegfried, and Drew Kenney for the Season 9 Overnight Dates.
Will she continue to carry a burst of light (sorry, last LM reference) for Brooks when the two head out on a warmer climate date? From what we've heard and seen, Des is all in. But is Brooks?
How about Drew, who declared his love for Des in front of his mom, his family, and the little birds we're pretty sure dress him every morning. Will Des be able to imagine a life with someone so beautiful on the inside and out?
But let's not forget Chris, who made Desiree do athletic things during Hometowns before having his dad toss her on a table and crack her back. Des and Chris have had a great connection since the beginning, and we have a feeling it may continue.
So, who goes home? According to Reality Steve, it's Drew who will peace out of paradise in favor of drier, sadder Scottsdale.
It seems hard to believe that someone who seems so sweet and perfect for Des could get booted Rose Ceremoniously so soon after they had such an emotional and amazing Hometown Date together. Could it be that Brooks is the one going home? There's something about the promo that makes us think he could walk and someone else may win by default... What do you think?

Great seats! A little far from the dugout, but they were Club seats so we were in the shade during the game and didn't have to get up to get drinks or food. I'd buy tickets through here again. They were $10 cheaper than at the stadium!

The event was great, BUT... Very disappointed with these seats. We were so low and far down the right field line that we couldn't see home plate or any of the bases. We thought the seats might have been at least partially shaded, but they were...continued

Tight game up until the grand slam in the 10th. If you sit in the "field box seats" near the left field foul pole...you can't see much of anything. Too many people jumping up to go out for beer and pretzels. And why all the impossibly loud dance...continued

Too much loud music playing between innings, seats were pretty far out, couldnt get into game.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels Baseball
The Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

Employees in two Belmont County courthouse offices - the Clerk of Courts and the Law Library - will find a brighter workplace as a result of a renovation project completed during the past five days.
On Wednesday both offices were closed and their voluminous contents - file cabinets, computers, thousands of books, furniture and other fixtures - were moved into the third floor corridor, vacating the offices in preparation for the start of the huge project.
First, the Karras Painting Co. of Wheeling started the painting of both offices as well as the balconies in each. "We have to be finished and out of here by 5 o'clock Friday," one of the painters noted.
At that designated time the contractor laying down all new carpet in each of the offices was to move in to complete that phase of the renovation. Then the movers took over. Although much of the moving was accomplished by the county maintenance crews, movers reportedly were engaged to accomplish the heavy moving burden.
Some of the hundreds, more likely thousands of the books that were shelved in the Law Library, have been transferred to the Oak View building west of St. Clairsville where records of other county offices are being stored.
Those that were not moved out of the building will be housed in the office that had been occupied by the court clerk. Because it needed more space for its files and records, the Clerk of Courts office starting on Monday will be located in the larger space that had been the home of the Law Library for many years.
Financing of the moves and renovations is apparently being accomplished without the commissioners having to put the renovation and moving project up for contractor bids.
Five large plaques containing photos, facts, figures, and details on historic National Road in Belmont County, have been received by the Belmont County Tourism Council and arrangements are being made to erect the artistically crafted and designed signs along the historic highway.
Belmont County Tourism director Eugene "Doc" Householder personally drove to Columbus on Monday to pick up the signs which were ordered four years ago through the Ohio National Road Association. The ONRA is an organization dedicated to preserve, promote and enhance the historic National Road.
When the ONRA proposed erecting the 3- by 5-foot interpretive signs along National Road, the Belmont County Tourism Council donated $3,000 for a sign in Bridgeport to designate the Gateway to Ohio. "We also donated $600 for the other signs along the National Road that is one of our three scenic byways," Householder explained.
"There are five signs for Belmont County," Householder noted, "one in Bridgpeport, two in Blaine, one in St. Clairsville and one in Morristown. I'm contacting these various towns and organizations to arrange getting the signs erected." Attachments to erect the signs in a level position came with the signs. However, the signs also can be mounted directly to a building or a sturdy upright standard similar to those that support road directional signs.
At the top of each sign in bold letters is "The Historic National Road" and at the bottom of each one is the phrase that has spelled out its importance - "The Road That Helped Build the Nation."
A brief history of National Road is on the Bridgeport sign along with a photo of one of the milestone markers that has the lettering "Cumberland 209 Wheeling 79 Zanesville 5."
One of the two markers to be erected in Blaine will be for the "Blaine S Bridge." It contains photos of the original, as well as the reconstructed S bridge which was built in 1828 and was in use for over a century. Besides showing the bridge, the engraving of the old structure shows a 1920s era gas station situated at the eastern end of the brick span. The plaque has a color photo of the span with three cars headed eastbound and also a photo showing a large segment of the community of Blaine.
The other sign for that small community recognizes the "Blaine Viaduct" which was constructed in 1933 to replace the S Bridge which could no longer support the heavier traffic on National Road. It was given the name "Arches of Memory' in tribute to the World War I veterans.
Featured on that plaque is a photo showing part of the viaduct and the equipment used in constructing the 1,118-foot structure. It was built at a cost of $301,446.44. The realignment of National Road because of the viaduct lengthened the roadway from 6,526 feet to 7,246, reduced the number of curves from 21 to 10 and widened the highway from 16 to 30 feet.
On the plaque for St. Clairsville is a large engraving of Main Street lined with cars that were the style in the 1930s. A brief history of the city is also on it with a photo of Benjamin Lundy, a color photo of the Clarendon Hotel and an engraving of the original courthouse constructed in St. Clairsville in 1815.
Heading westward the final county plaque - "The Brick Road - is in Morristown, showing an actual segment of the brick pavement that at one time extended across the county. There are two photos showing men working to prepare a road segment and another of men putting down the brick surface. A photo of a segment of the road in 1937 in Franklin County is also on the marker.
Working with the various communities and the local ONRA, Householder said he is hopeful of getting the signs erected in the near future.
Last weekend was a very special one. It marked the fulfillment of prayers that started 22 years ago when a new bundle of joy came into my life ... my wife had given birth to a baby girl who immediately earned the loveable nickname "my little angel."
During an impressive ceremony at the University of Akron a week ago Saturday, my "little angel" was presented with a Bachelor of Arts degree to complete her four-year college education. Not only did she graduate, she did it as a cum laude student and also as a presidential scholar.
It climaxed two decades filled with prayers. In 1990 I was well beyond the age when men become new fathers so the prayer approach to her well-being started. First were prayers that I'd see her reach the age when she has to enroll in school for the first time. With that accomplished, the prayers were aimed at seeing her eighth-grade graduation ceremony at St. Mary's School in St. Clairsville.
Successfully completing that first leg of her education, she went on to St. Clairsville High School and my prayerful hopes were to see her successfully complete her high school career. She did that with honors. Then it was on to the University of Akron and of course that prayer has now been answered.
There are a few more prayers for her as there were for all seven of my other children who have developed into fine, upstanding individuals who have become successful in their own right. All have families of their own.
And now, for the first time in 54 years, I have no children enrolled in any school.
Fulfilling a promise to the Belmont County Soil & Water Conservation District, wild animal expert and showman Jack Hanna will make his third visit to the county on Monday to support and encourage conservation efforts in the Captina Creek Watershed in southern Belmont County..
Two dozen organizations and business will have exhibits on display during the rally in behalf of the Captina Creek, rated one of Ohio's cleanest streams for water and habitat. It is the home of 56 species of fish and to rare and endangered species such as the Hellbender.
Liza Butler, SWCD wildlife and forestry specialist, inherited the job of preparing for the rally in March after the watershed coordinator resigned. She has arranged a program that will include two speakers. Considering the attendance at previous rallies, a large crowd expected for the program at 5:15 p.m. at the Ohio University Eastern auditorium.
Hanna's appearance at approximately 6 p.m. will climax the event. Asked what animals Hanna will be bringing, Butler replied, "It's going to be a surprise for all of us."
The JBGreen team will bestow special honors to Lance Mehl, director of the Belmont County C-Cap program, Juvenile Court Judge Mark Costine and members of the C-Cap team for the many years of service with the annual community cleanup programs.
"Because the C-Cap program is integral to the success of these popular collections, we would like to publicly honor Lance, his staff and the juveniles who remain so committed to helping to keep Belmont County beautiful," exclaimed Tammy Shepherd, JB Team program director in Belmont County.
Belmont County commissioners, the JB Team board members and township representatives will be there for the special program at 3 p.m.in the county commissioners meeting room at the courthouse.
Today is the day Moms should get special treatment - maybe breakfast in bed or dinner at a fine restaurant. Or maybe even both. Happy Mothers' Day.

Because Congress failed to act in November to continue the federal emergency Unemployment Insurance program, two million unemployed workers are expected to go without income this month. Another million each month will go without unemployment benefits into the New Year. If Congress does not act in December, tax cuts affecting most Americans will expire and take-home pay will be lower starting in January. Why hasn't Congress acted? Because a powerful minority made up of Republicans and some Democrats blocked action until they got what was most important to them: billions in tax cuts for the nation's wealthiest individuals.
The Obama Administration negotiated with the hostage-takers. They gave in to odious demands to hand the inheritors of about 3,000 multi-million dollar estates $20 billion over the next two years. They agreed to continue high-income tax cuts with a two-year price-tag of about $95 billion. In return, they got the reinstatement of federal emergency unemployment insurance for 13 months. Tax cuts will continue for everyone receiving a paycheck, and low-income earners and college students will continue to get refund checks worth $40 billion over the next two years. They also got a one-year reduction in the payroll tax worth about $120 billion. They agreed to the hostage-takers' demands because the economy is on life-support right now and might not withstand the shock of so many billions not available to low- and middle-income people.
Millionaires, on whose behalf the hostage-takers were negotiating, will each walk away with a gag-inducing nearly $140,000 more on average in 2011 compared with what they would have received if all the tax cuts had expired.
Queasy Democrats in Congress are trying to see if the deal can be improved. Some have announced opposition to the package and if their votes are needed there could be an opportunity for important changes. Any package of improvements should include preventing the recently-passed SNAP/food stamp cuts from taking $59 a month from low-income households in 2013, when unemployment will still be high. The list should also include restoring the TANF Emergency Fund, which would create 250,000 jobs, and continuing federal funding for child support collections, which would prevent single-parent families from losing $2 billion a year. Taken together, these extremely effective measures constitute less than half the cost during one year of the gift to the richest estates-and they would put federal dollars where they will do the most good.
The President's package contains urgently needed provisions. The $56 billion to prevent federal unemployment insurance from expiring will help seven million workers and their families. But there is room for improvement. In some states, unemployment insurance runs out many weeks before the federal maximum. The deal does update the formula to prevent workers now covered in many states from losing federal unemployment benefits 13 or 20 weeks sooner than the federal maximum, but not all of the jobless will be reached. Those who think the federal emergency unemployment insurance program is doing too much could not be more out of touch with the painful economic realities facing Americans today. Continuing federal unemployment insurance and preventing the jobless from destitution must not wait beyond this month.
The Obama negotiators also protected other important help for the lowest-income families with children. Improvements made in the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) will continue. A full time working parent with two children and earning minimum wage now gets about $1,725 from the CTC. If the current level expires, that family's credit drops to about $225. Increases in the EITC for families with three or more children and for married parents also continue under the plan, as does the $2,500 American Opportunity Tax Credit, which provides tuition assistance for low-income college students. Under no circumstances should Congress leave without continuing these credits.
The hostage-takers refused to include a continuation of the President's Making Work Pay tax credit in the deal. Instead, they accepted a one-year payroll tax cut that is not as helpful to low-income workers. As a consequence, people with incomes below $20,000 will get a smaller tax cut next year than they get now. Replacing the payroll tax cut with the Obama Making Work Pay credit would give the one-fifth of the population earning less than $20,000 an average tax cut of $507. The compromise deal reduces their tax cut to $396, according to Citizens for Tax Justice. On the other hand, the top 20 percent do a lot better, particularly the richest 1 percent, who would receive about $48,000 more in 2011 under the compromise than Obama originally proposed. Such is the power of the hostage-takers.
The Obama Administration makes a big point of noting that the upper-income gifts are only for two years. As well it might--if they were to continue, their cost would skyrocket and truly jeopardize our economic security. But what will reduce the power of the hostage-takers two years from now?
This question is critical: big money interests do not lightly let go of billion dollar gains. We can only avoid being taken hostage again if the President uses every opportunity over the next two years to show the harm inflicted by the upper-income tax cuts, if Senators and Representatives do the same, and advocates help by showing the choices very clearly in human terms.
We urge advocates to join with us in a vital new Hostage Prevention Initiative. Month after month we will show people who are benefiting from services now threatened, or those who cannot get help because Congress is unwilling to find the funds. Over and over, we must bring home to the American public and to Congress that jobs, food and other necessities for millions of low-income families are more important than billions of dollars for a relative handful of multi-million dollar estates or living millionaires. That's the only way the jobless and the rest of us hostages can avoid being taken in 2012.

Noah talks with Norman Blake, who is celebrating his 60th birthday today. He's also celebrating the release of his 26th recording, called "Chattanooga Sugar Babe". He plays all the instruments on the CD: guitar, banjo, fiddle, Hawaiian steel guitar. Blake was born in Tennessee and raised in neighboring Georgia, and the music he heard as a child on 78s and the live radio broadcasts of that era shaped his tastes for all time. He remains dedicated to old ways, and old music and poetry. The songs he writes today come across as authentic traditional compositions from decades ago.

In the version 18.104.22.168 we have rearranged, removed and renamed some elements of the configuration interface, amplified it with new handy options, thereby optimizing the process of modeling the multi-origin system and expanding its flexibility.
As you can see on the screenshot above, we abolished two sections: Single Mode and Multiple Mode. Now their options are available in the Options section. Make them visible by selecting an appropriate mode (Mode -> Single / Multiple). At the same time the options will appear only for the mode you are running with. Note that the Delivery Methods field has been renamed to Assignment Method.
Speaking of renaming, in the Shipping section we renamed the Enable Shipping Methods Filter field to Enable Carrier Filter.
Additionally, we supplemented the Warehouses configuration with the Catalog section that will help administrators to opt which warehouse-related information to display to customers on the frontend for each product. Besides, we added two backend products grid options: Display Backend Grid Qty and Display Backend Grid Batch Prices. Note that the Enable Shelves field has been relocated from the Options section to Catalog.
Single Mode
The Single mode has been supplemented with two new shipping algorithms (Assignment Methods): Assigned Customer Groups and Assigned Currencies.
Assigned Customer Groups
This option allows to assign a customer group / groups to a certain warehouse.
Assigned Currencies
This option allows to assign a currency / currencies to a certain warehouse.
Display Information
The Show Warehouse Information and Show Warehouse Description field has been renamed to Display Information and Display Description correspondingly. Moreover, in the version 184.108.40.206 the Display Description field appears only if Display Information has been enabled. It's also worth noting that the activation of Display Information makes visible a number of other options to display warehouses information, namely: Sort by, Display Origin, Display Distance, and Distance Unit.
Sort by
Here you can select how would you like your warehouses to be sorted on the frontend and backend. You have the option to sort warehouses by: ID, Code, Title, Priority, or Origin.
On the frontend:
On the backend:
The new version gives administrators ability to provide customers with more data about warehouses:
Display Origin
Show addresses of warehouses.
Display Distance
Allow customers to see warehouses with the distance in miles / nautical miles / kilometers from where the shopper is currently located.
Distance Unit
Here, administrators select the unit for Display Distance.
Allow Adjustment
Allow customers to make adjustments where shoppers have possibility to change the warehouse that has been selected by a shipping algorithm (an Assignment Method previously set by a webshop admin) of the system.
In the Catalog section an administrator defines which warehouse information will show up on the backend and frontend.
Display Information
Enable this option to be able to customize warehouses information displayed to customers.
Note: The option of the same name in the Options section must be previously activated. Otherwise, Display Information won't be visible in Catalog.
In turn, the option enabled in Catalog makes visible the following fields:
Display Out of Stock
Disable this option to hide all of the warehouses where the item is out-of-stock in the quote.
Display Origin
If enabled, displays addresses of warehouses in the quote.
Display Distance
If enabled, displays the distance between the customer's location and warehouses in the quote.
Display Description
If enabled, displays warehouses descriptions in the quote.
Display Availability
If enabled, displays stock availability in each storage location.
Display Qty
If enabled, displays the quantity of stock currently on hand in each distribution point.
Display Tax
If enabled, displays tax information for each warehouse.
Display Shipping
If enabled, displays all of the shipping methods and pricing for each shipping origin.
The next two options allow to control the warehouse information displayed for products grid on the administration side.
Display Backend Grid Qty
If enabled, displays products quantities in all of the inventory locations.
Display Backend Grid Batch Prices
If enabled, displays products prices in each warehouse.
Create New Order
We added an extra Reset Items button on the Create New Order page for Multiple Mode:
Using this button the administrator can reset warehouses back to the original state after they have been updated (changed).
If you wish you can visit the product page to test the demos and get a better feel for the new version.
Contact us if you want to upgrade your Multi-Warehouse version to the latest one.
Remember, you can also request a private demo to try out the extension in depth on our server.

For those who have been wondering why we have been taking the route that we have, this picture shows the planned route from Cape Verde. The route is long, and indirect, as it is planned around weather systems, not the shortest distance. The idea was to cross the ITCZ (doldrums) where it was relatively narrow, get as far south as possible using the SE Tradewinds, then go south through the Variables, and then go east with the Westerlies.
Getting all the south in on the western side of the South Atlantic avoids having to beat directly into the SE Tradewinds on the eastern side of the South Atlantic (which extend further south than on the western side). Avoiding the South Atlantic High was a key point to the route chosen, as inside the high, there is very little wind, so it is much faster (unless you have a lot of fuel to motor with) to sail around the high, where there are much better winds.
BTW, my access to this blog while I am at sea is limited to posting updates. I am not able to see comments on the blog until I get to somewhere with an internet cafe. So if you have posted a comment, thanks very much, I will read it after reaching shore. Email to my regular (non-satellite) email address also does not get to me at sea, and will be read ashore.

As we get further south, we get more wind, so faster sailing conditions (though you can't see it from this picture, which was taken a few days ago).
Sun Oct 26 18:55:00 EDT 2008
We have now sailed far enough south to no longer be in the tropics (by sailing south of 23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude).
It is still hot.
We left the trade winds yesterday, and are now in the variable wind belt. True to their name, the winds have been variable so far, mostly very light amd favorable.
Fri Oct 24 18:15:00 EDT 2008
Our course took us fairly close to Ilha Da Trindade, a small island about 600 miles east of Brazil. We talked on the radio with the Brazilian Navy outpost there, and asked for permission to anchor in the lee of their island for repairs. The Brazilian Navy was very helpful, they suggested where best to anchor, and asked if we needed anything (we didn't).
We needed a place out of the waves and swell to take off the auxiliary rudder, replace its lower bearing, and reinstall the rudder. We anchored on the lee side of the island, in 10m (30feet) of water in a bay that sheltered us from the waves and from most of the swell. The job of reinstalling the rudder involves lifting up the 200lb rudder, lining up two pins and then lowering the rudder. This is much easier done when the boat is not moving, so we were very glad to have been able to do the work at Trindade island, instead of having to do it at sea.
Just before dusk, we started to leave, but the anchor chain had snagged a rock and would not come up. I dove on it, and between pulling the chain and moving the boat, we were able to free the chain, raise the anchor and leave the island as the light faded.
Fri Oct 24 11:15:00 EDT 2008
Ilha Da Trindade is a small, volcanic island 600 miles east of Brazil. There is a Brazilian Navy outpost on the other side of the island. The picture is of Punta De Monumento on Ilha Da Trindade. More on this in the next post.
Thu Oct 23 10:15:00 EDT 2008
Fishing boat passing us by. We have seen very few other vessels so far.
Sun Oct 19 11:15:00 EDT 2008
We are still in the Southeast Trade Winds, almost underneath the present latitude of the sun. Winds are still light to moderate, mostly blue skies, no squalls...pretty much perfect conditions for pleasant, easy sailing.
Fri Oct 17 18:55:00 EDT 2008
We have been making 150+ mile runs in the last couple of days, which was really nice. The wind has moderated a bit today (Force 2&3 instead of 3&4), so we'll only make 136 miles today. We continue to sail hard on the wind, into the Southeast Trade winds, which are very warm and pleasant. We've had some rain, but not enough to add any to the water tanks.

This paper describes the design of a tabletop storytelling application for children, called TellTable. The goal of the system was to stimulate creativity and collaboration by allowing children to develop their own story characters and scenery through photography and drawing, and record stories through direct manipulation and narration. Here we present the initial interface design and its iteration following the results of a preliminary trial. We also describe key findings from TellTable's deployment in a primary school that relate to its design, before concluding with a discussion of design implications from the process.

President Obama seized a key Republican energy initiative as his own Tuesday, promising $8.33 billion in federal loan guarantees for a pair...
WASHINGTON — President Obama seized a key Republican energy initiative as his own Tuesday, promising $8.33 billion in federal loan guarantees for a pair of Georgia reactors that he said would give new life to the U.S. nuclear-power industry and create a surge of high-skill jobs.
By helping to finance the construction of the reactors — the first new U.S. nuclear-power units in more than 30 years — Obama is hoping to jump-start his efforts to pass comprehensive climate-change legislation, which has stalled in Congress in the face of GOP opposition.
The president also is casting the nuclear initiative as a centerpiece of his plan to produce clean-energy jobs, although construction on the two reactors would not begin for more than a year. Nonetheless, after touring a Maryland training facility for energy jobs, Obama said the competition for those positions worldwide will be fierce.
"If we fail to invest in the technologies of tomorrow, then we're going to be importing those technologies instead of exporting them," he said. "We will fall behind. Jobs will be produced overseas instead of here in the United States of America."

Most Read Stories
Republicans, who have called for building as many as 100 new nuclear-power plants, hailed the president's move as evidence that he has accepted their argument. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called it a "good first step" that would pave the way for progress on climate and energy legislation.
But Obama's announcement set up a clash with environmentalists who remain worried about the safety of nuclear power and waste disposal. And it drew criticism from some conservatives who called it a risky move that could cost taxpayers billions if construction costs spiral, electricity demand sags and utilities default.
Nuclear-power plants "are simply not economically competitive now, and therefore they can't be privately financed," said Peter Bradford, an adjunct professor at Vermont Law School and a former member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Jack Spencer, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a supporter of nuclear power, warned that the guarantees would "perpetuate the problems that have plagued nuclear energy for 30 years: the regulatory structure and nuclear waste [disposal] and too much government dependence."
Default concerns
The loan guarantees announced Tuesday would sharply lower borrowing costs to finance new reactors in eastern Georgia near the South Carolina border, where two units are being operated by the Atlanta-based Southern Co. The loan guarantees would cover part of the $14 billion in financing needs; Japanese export loan guarantees would cover another portion.
Administration officials said the loan guarantees would not cost taxpayers anything and companies would pay fees to cover risk of default. But critics said the administration was vastly underestimating the likelihood of loans going bad.
Jobs would be created, but not right away. The nuclear units would require 3,500 construction positions and later 800 jobs for operating the plant. But Southern's Chief Executive David Ratcliffe noted that the company would not draw the loan guarantees and begin construction until the NRC grants a license, which it does not expect until late 2011. Moreover, the Energy Department and Southern are still negotiating terms of the guarantees.
To deflect critics, the president promised efforts to make the technology even safer and asserted that nuclear power must be a significant part of global attempts to reduce reliance on polluting, carbon-based fuels.
"It's that simple," he said. "This one plant, for example, will cut carbon pollution by 16 million tons each year when compared to a similar coal plant. That's like taking 3.5 million cars off the road." The reactors would be able to power 550,000 homes, providing electricity to 1.4 million people.
Part of energy strategy
Obama has long been amenable to nuclear power and said throughout the presidential campaign that it had to be part of a comprehensive energy strategy. The loan guarantee he promised Tuesday would come from $18.5 billion in money authorized during President Bush's administration. But Obama has proposed tripling that to $54.5 billion, an amount that Energy Secretary Steven Chu said could help jump-start seven to 10 new nuclear-power reactors. The United States has 104 commercial nuclear reactors.
The House passed climate-change legislation last year that included a cap-and-trade system that Republicans derided as a tax on carbon production. The legislation is stalled in the Senate, but Graham has been meeting with Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in hopes of reaching a compromise.
After a meeting with Republican leaders last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., cited construction of nuclear-power plants as one of the areas that "we might be able to work on together."
In his speech at a training center in Lanham run by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Obama urged Republican supporters of nuclear power to "recognize that we're not going to achieve a big boost in nuclear capacity unless we also create a system of incentives to make clean energy profitable." He said, "As long as producing carbon pollution carries no cost, traditional plants that use fossil fuels will be more cost-effective than plants that use nuclear fuel."
That, he said, is why Congress should pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation.

Hampus Wins Big Day Out!
Posted By etnies in Snow, Skip To The Comments (2)
Feb 24 2006 / Friday
Happy Happy Hampus!
This in from etnies Euro correspondant Steffi Hager:
I just got back from the X-Box Big Day Out contest in Val D'Isere, France, where etnies Snow team rider Hampus Mosesson took first place on Thursday night! It was a three-star TTR Slopestyle contest, with a small jump on top, a big jump in the middle and a hip at the bottom of the course. Hampus won the Highest Air contest on the hip with not only one, but a couple of massive airs that none of the other riders could top, taking home a new X-Box 360 and 500 Euros for his trouble!
The Slopestyle Finals were held later in the evening, and Hampus stomped his run perfectly with a smooth Cab 900 shifty and a massive air on the corner for another 1st place. The conditions for night riding were not really too good, either! It was bitter cold, and take-offs and landings were icy. It was hard to get the right speed for the big jump, as well, and most people went way too far and landed in the flat! But Hampus managed to proceed at just the right speed and forcefully land his Cab 900 shifty to take the lead!
Third place went to the European contest legacy and Finnish etnies Snow rocker Aleksi Vanninen. He was the oldest participant, and showed the young guns and judges some serious riding skills.
Congrats Hampus! We heart you!

Every year, BabyCenter compiles a list of the top baby names in the U.S.; and our sister site in the UK does likewise.
This year, I noticed something. The "weird" outlier names that are only given to one or a couple of babies in our data? Are way, way weirder in the United States than in the UK.
Doubt me? Here are the most unusual names we found in the UK.
All right, Roo is pretty unusual. But Drake and Ziggy? It takes a much stranger name to stand out in America. Here are the most surprising names we found stateside.
Whoa! Right? Are UK parents more traditional and U.S. parents more individualistic? Is it somehow more acceptable in America to have a name that's off the beaten path? Why the difference?
Thanks to LyndaBC and Carolyn Robertson for the slideshows

Why You Need a Memory Card for Your Digital Camera Instructional Video Review
The memory card is an important item for just about all digital camera users. Many underwater digital cameras come with a small amount of memory built into them that is meant to be an emergency back up. It is generally just enough for a very small handful of digital still shots, but not nearly enough to allow the user to store anything significant and never enough to allow for any video recording.

Welcome back to the kitchen.
my mistakes. You see, I'm not one of those people who will tell you there are no mistakes in cooking.
We've all tasted a terribly failed dish a one time or another that disproves that little maxim.
class="MsoNormal"> But if you are
working with good ingredients, and your tongue is good at thinking on its feet (we'll leave that bizarre
mental image aside and press on regardless), there are certain twists of fate in the kitchen that create a new
dish far greater than the sum of its parts. These little miracles often result from necessity. You run out of some
seemingly key ingredient or another, and you are forced to improvise.
Other times, it is too much of
a good thing that requires creative cooking. This week I found myself with a family pack of chicken, defrosted and
needing to be used. Whenever possible, I love to make use of my favorite big old cast iron pan, and I love it
anytime I can do a whole meal in this one perfect pot. Well seasoned cast iron, which has oils soaked into the
iron to prevent rusting, will serve you well for years. And a world of recipes opens up because cast iron can move
from stovetop directly into the oven.
So, knowing I had to use a lot
of chicken, I scanned my pantry for inspiration. I found myself staring at a recently acquired bag of small, green
dried mung beans. Like lentils, mung beans have the convenient distinction of cooking quickly, even without
soaking the dried legumes.
With sweet onions, carrots,
celery and garlic within reach, I grabbed a large can of crushed tomatoes to provide liquid for the dish that was
forming in my mind. I also found myself drawn to my secret stash of authentic Indian garam masala (aka curry
powder). This pungent, complex, and hot mix of spices goes great with lentils and beans, and adds a fiery life to
any dish.
So with all of these
ingredients it appears I've got a bit of a mash-up on my hands. On the one hand, the trinity of carrots,
onions, and celery combined with the garlic and tomatoes pulls my chicken towards an Italian cacciatore. On the
other hand, the mung beans and curry leads the palate to
heck, I've got to cook something, and I'm determined to use what I've got.
"MsoNormal"> So this week we are
cooking baked chicken caccia-curry! No, that is not the newest mutation of bird flu. It's just a happy
accident born of necessity. This simple, baked chicken curry stew is hearty and surprisingly delicious. Give it a
try and see how the pitfalls of your pantry change the recipe yet again.
For this baked chicken caccia-curry we'll
-3-4 pounds
chicken thighs, bone-in (or use a whole small chicken, butchered and separated)
"MsoNormal">-2 onions, sliced into thin strips
-2 carrots,
chopped into bite sized pieces
-2-3 ribs of celery,
-1 large potato, diced into small pieces (optional)
-6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
"MsoNormal">-2 cups mung beans or lentils
-1/4 cup
-1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
"MsoNormal">-1 large can crushed stewed tomatoes, including liquid
-4 teaspoons garam masala/curry powder (more or less depending on how much spice you like)
-1 pinch each mustard seeds and coriander seeds
class="MsoNormal">-2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (or substitute up to half white wine or vermouth)
-salt and fresh ground black pepper
"MsoNormal">-dash of cinnamon
-2 tablespoons balsamic
-2 tablespoons olive oil
First, let's preheat the
oven to 325 degrees. Start rolling the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat up the oil in the
cast iron pot over a medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, allow the chicken pieces to brown a
bit on each side, just for a minute or two. Remove the browned chicken from the pot and set aside.
"MsoNormal"> Toss in the pinches
of mustard and coriander seeds, and maybe even a small dash of cumin seeds as well. When the seeds splutter and
crack open, add the onions and allow them to brown in the hot oil for a few minutes before stirring and adding in
the carrots, celery, potato, and garlic. Saute the veggies on medium for about 5-8 minutes, until they start to
soften a bit. Add the mung beans and stir again.
Now add back the chicken
pieces, settling them in among the veggies and beans. Pour on the chicken stock or veggie broth, enough so it
comes up about ¾ of the way up the sides of the chicken. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with the curry
powder, making sure each piece gets a good coating. Follow up with a sprinkling of sweet-spicy cinnamon. Also add
¼ teaspoon salt and a grind of black pepper over everything.
Top off the chicken with the
stewed crushed tomatoes, so the whole dish is covered with a layer of tomatoes. Finish off the strata with a
sprinkling of the chopped cilantro and a little drizzling of balsamic vinegar. The vinegar will add a nice, dark
sweetness to the dish, much like wine.
Put a top on over the cast iron
pot or use a sheet of aluminum foil, to seal in the moisture in the oven. This baby looks ready to go, so
we'll let 'er bake for about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half. I recommend laying a piece
of aluminum foil on the rack below the pot as well, to catch liquids that may come bubbling over. This will make
cleanup easier down the road.
So now that this chicken curry
dish has baked for well over an hour, let's pull it out and take a look. The smell is delicious, and the
chicken is really fall off the bone tender because we sealed in the juices early on by sautéing it. But the
real test of this dish is the mung beans, which have absorbed a lot of the liquids. Are they tender? If not, throw
the whole thing back in to bake for another 15 minutes or so with the top on tight.
This awesome chicken curry and
mung bean stew is spicy and sweet, exotic yet comforting. While I didn't exactly know what I was cooking the
first time I tried this dish, I'm very happy with what we've created. Just serve over basmati rice or
quinoa and maybe a side of sautéed greens with citrus, and you have a perfect dinner.
"MsoNormal"> I'd love to
hear what happy accidents are occurring in your kitchen. Let me know what you are cooking these days by joining us

What satisfied customers say about the Pimsleur ENGLISH audios:
I never thought I could learn a language by CD. However, Pimsleur proved me wrong. If you have 20 minutes a day, and ears, then you can do it. The courses they sell give you enough language to travel and do basic conversation comfortably and fluently. They also sell advanced lessons that are well worth the investment once you complete this first level. -- Jesse Byrtus, USA
The Pimsleur family of language courses is probably the best available in the English-speaking world. Unlike most other audio programs, the emphasis is not on mindlessly repeating phrases... but rather on natural conversation. Spanish words and phrases are slowly introduced by the English narrator throughout the conversation, and you then incorporate them into conversation with the Spanish speakers (followed by the "right" response to compare yourself to). This more natural approach makes a huge difference in absorbing and retaining the knowledge. -- Steve D. Perkins, Atlanta, GA, USA
First a word of caution: because the Pimsleur method is 100% audio, you won't learn any spelling of words. If your goal is to learn to WRITE Spanish, this program won't be very much help to you on its own. Similarly, you won't learn (or have to memorize) any rules of grammar or verb conjugation tables. With the Pimsleur method, you learn simply by listening and speaking. You don't really learn WHY you say things this way in this case and that way in that case. You will learn the grammar more by osmosis than by memorizing rules. Memorizing rules really hampers your fluency because you're constantly thinking about the rule, how it applies to the sentence or phrase at hand, and performing a translation in your head. When you're listening to someone talking at a normal rate, you'll never be able to keep up and you'll need to ask the person to talk slowly and one sentence at a time. One of the main points of the Pimsleur method is that this step in the learning process (memorizing rules) is unnecessary. It is not how you learned your native language and, when you become orally fluent in any language, you no longer think about these rules you may or may not have learned along the way. -- James Tetazoo, Ohio, USA

Court of Assiut uphelds the ruling on Makarim Diab
| 6 April 2012
Court of Assiut upheld today the ruling on Makarim Diab who was sentenced to six years upon accusing him of defamation of Islamic religion. The court was full of Salafis who, for the second time, threatened the lawyers and prevented a fair trial.
Retrial and a secret session were arranged, but Salafis knew and gathered again threatening the lawyers. The judge, head of Assiut court permitted only a Christian lawyer to inter the court but never allowed him to speak; he was only allowed to present some papers. The trial lasted only for 3 minutes, after that the court upheld the ruling.
Dr. Naguib Gebrael, head of the Egyptian Federation for Human Rights said that what happened at the Court of Assiut is kind of terrorism which wasted the guarantees given by the law to have a fair judgment and was against the rule: the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty.
Gebrael added that preventing the Muslim lawyers from defending Makarim is discrimination based upon religion which means that the court was never neutral, and proven to be affected by the extremists. He demanded the field marshal Tantawi to give Diab an amnesty as he never received a fair trial.
