About the Book
A book of comfort food recipes is used to organize childhood memories. Sure, each recipe can easily be found through other sources but the memories associated with each by the author from about 1957 to 1967 are personal and unique. Key messages are that: (1) no other food in our lives compares to the joy of childhood comfort food; and (2) preparation and sharing are critical to fully experience food; and (3) natural local foods are better for you and the environment. The book may be too personal for some, and the photos are old and faded, but the messages are timely. Good health requires more nourishment than food alone can provide.

IMSure Though it contains food recipes, "Tastes Better Than it Looks" is not really a cookbook. Instead, it is collection of the author's childhood memories associated with food as well as other home based smells and odors. Anyone reading this would have to agree that the recorded experiences were not mainstream America. Who ever heard of a wall of fish heads for example? I found the passages compelling and memorable. It made me want to record some of my own experiences that made my appreciation for food unique. Perhaps this is why the author allowed a few pages for notes at he end of the book - that was smart. Here is what makes the book a winner - it makes you feel connected to the earth and to others through the common need for nourishment, not just food. I think a good number of people will find this book interesting on its own for entertainment. Some parts are funny such as the red wagon full of manure. But a larger number of readers who reflect on their lives will be interested because of the insight gained into a fellow soul.

PENSACOLA, Fla. –Lions senior outfielder Taed Moses continues to rack up the weekly accolades after his impressive weekend versus Nova Southeastern, adding South Region Player of the Week honors to the list, it was announced by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
Just a few days after being named Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week, Moses adds another honor to his season resume. In this past weekend's three-game series sweep of the Sharks, Moses battled a stunning .800 at the plate (8-for-10) with seven runs and four runs batted in. Combined between the three games Moses had four extra base hits with both two doubles and two triples.
Moses' remarkable weekend at the plate resulted in him taking over the lead for team batting average at .356, and he now leads the team in triples with four.
Moses and the Lions get back in action tomorrow evening for the first of a three-game set vs. Florida Tech. First pitch on Friday is set for 6:00 p.m.

WEST, Texas - They were the first running into battle flames at the West fertilizer plant. With the explosion, firefighters who took those brave steps didn't make it out alive.
Jerry Chapman, 26, volunteered with the Abbott Fire Department. His friend, Sharon Matthews, said they were inseparable.
"Once you got to know him, you could see the great heart he has," said Matthews. "There wasn't a day that would go by that I didn't see him."
When Chapman didn't answer his phone the night of the explosion, Matthews tried not to imagine the worst.
"We were hoping and praying and nothing was confirmed," said Matthews. "Then we were on the way to go talk to his parents to see if they heard anything is when we found out that they did."
Firefighter Cyrus Reed grew up in Houston and also died in the explosion. At the West fire station, survivors are trying to stay strong.
"He loved the kids. I mean he was awesome," said Larson. "It breaks your heart when things happen when somebody's trying to do good and so much bad comes out of it."
George Nors Junior stepped in as acting Chief, because his father, the regular Chief is injured and in the hospital. Nors Junior hopes his own role as leader here is temporary.

(M, 112 minutes.)
Opens Thursday.
Marking an about-turn after her affecting melodrama In a Better World - which deservedly triumphed as last year's best foreign-language Oscar winner - Danish director Susanne Bier opts for something completely different: an unashamedly feel-good picture that's blatantly commercial in its outlook while focusing on everyday issues in a way that made her previous affair so engaging.
To the near-constant strains of Dean Martin's That's Amore, we're presented with Philip (Pierce Brosnan), a widower busily running a fruit-and-veg wholesale business in Copenhagen, who's also preparing for his son's impending nuptials at his late wife's Italian retreat in Sorrento, Italy. Not far away is the mother of the bride, chirpy hairdresser Ida (In a Better World's Trine Dyrholm). A cancer survivor waiting for the final all-clear, Ida soon finds her oafish husband having it away with the accounts clerk. When Ida and Philip collide in the car park on the way to the wedding, the stage is seemingly set.
Love Is All You Need is full of such narrative pointers. One can see what's coming a mile off, particularly when it comes to Philip's son, Patrick (Sebastian Jessen), a wet fish whose eye is clearly more attuned to a local lad (Ciro Petrone) than Ida's daughter, Astrid (Molly Blixt Egelind). This is a shotgun wedding, we're told, although it appears the would-be couple have yet to sanctify their love in the biblical sense.
For all its lack of subtlety and expectation, Bier's film radiates a warm, infectious glow that's impossible to shake. Brosnan is simply wonderful as the widowed Philip, hiding years of hurt and anger behind a wall of work. It may seem churlish to specify the obvious - the former James Bond lost his first wife to the disease Ida battles onscreen - yet it reinforces the notion of just how deep the actor is willing to go. One feels his pain, his sorrow and his joy in equal measure. On more than one occasion, one even has the apprehension that Bier could have him break into song, a la Mamma Mia!. Thankfully, he does not.
Playing alongside him quite beautifully is Dyrholm, an acclaimed star in her native Denmark, most recently seen plotting and scheming in the sumptuous period romp A Royal Affair. Her turn as Ida is inspired. She is a gentle, fun but robust figure, and an affectionate mother, to boot. Her key scene, in which Philip stumbles upon her skinny-dipping sans wig, is really quite special in its emotive intensity and timing.
Inevitably, the supporting cast are sidelined by the sheer weight of their accomplished leads, but they still find time to resonate. Most notable of all is Patrick's Aunt Benedikte (a fabulous performance from Paprika Steen), whose familiar and friendly graces belies a burning, unfulfilled desire towards Philip, who continues to spurn her. Ida's protective son, Kenneth (Micky Skeel Hansen), also registers, as does her warts-and-all work colleague (Bodil Jorgensen). The bride-to-be isn't short on screen presence, either.
Bier's film, which had its world premiere in September at the Venice Film Festival, was initially mooted as a successor of sorts to last year's rom-com-for-seniors smash The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. But such comparisons prove simplistic and largely misleading. Certainly, Bier's film is aimed at an older adult demographic, but it's far more affecting emotionally than its elder English cousin, thanks to its standout lead performances. Brosnan and Dyrhom really do get under one's skin, in an altogether unexpected fashion. (One can almost forgive Bier the less-convincing sequences in her film, including how - or why - anyone would put up with Ida's idiotic husband.)
Wisely, Love Is All You Need is being delivered just before the Boxing Day deluge of releases. One imagines positive word of mouth will ensure Bier's film cleans up nicely. After all, when one needs a break from family over Christmas, what better way than to laugh good-naturedly at two onscreen in the most ill-advised wedding in recent memory? A splash of Italian countryside doesn't hurt, either. It may be far removed from the type of cinema one expects from Denmark, but it succeeds in its mandate rather well. A warm, witty festive offering for grown-ups, then.

$17b revenue down
The strong dollar and low terms of trade will no doubt keep business profits and tax revenues down for some time to come, explains Finance minister Penny Wong.
On Tuesday, Finance Minister Penny Wong confirmed that the government was ''not in a position to proceed'' with an increase to Family Tax Benefit Part A that was due to start on July 1.
In last year's budget, Labor pledged about $1.8 billion over four years to increase the rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A, as part of its package to spread ''the benefits of the mining boom''.
In a measure linked to the mining tax - that was never legislated - more than 1.1 million families were to receive an increase to the maximum rate of FTB-A of $300 a year for those with one child and $600 a year for those with two or more children.
A promised increase to the base rate of FTB–A would have seen an extra $100 a year for families with one child and $200 a year for families with two or more children for around 460,000 families.
Senator Wong said on Tuesday morning that on top of the revenue hit in 2012-13, the government anticipated revenue hits across the forward estimates.
''What we are seeing is the dollar remaining stubbornly high, but the terms of trade - the prices Australia gets for the things it sells to the rest of the world - are falling,'' Senator Wong told ABC TV.
''That set of circumstances has really hit business profitability and we are seeing, therefore, a very significant reduction in anticipated revenue for government.''
The Australian Financial Review reported on Tuesday that the likely write-down in revenue over the four years from 2013-14 is expected to run to between $60 billion and $80 billion.
Senator Wong told Fairfax Media's Breaking Politics program that she was not in a position to confirm those figures on Tuesday.
"They'll be clear on budget night," she said.
Senator Wong said that the government had made a "difficult but responsible" decision not to proceed with the boost to the family benefits payment.
"(It's) obviously a decision we would have preferred not to have made, but a decision that is driven by the need to act responsibly in the face of falling revenue," she said.
Senator Wong added in terms of what Australian families were currently receiving, nobody "loses anything" from the decision.
In last year's budget, the government predicted that the mining tax would bring in $3 billion in its first year of operation, but later downgraded the forecast to $2 billion.
The tax has raised $126 million in its first six months, with a Parliamentary Budget Office forecast predicting this week that the tax would raise $800 million for the entire year.
On Tuesday, shadow treasurer Joe Hockey tweeted that the federal budget, due to be handed down next Tuesday, was in ''chaos''.
''Wong says revenue write downs now $17bn. Last week Gillard said $12bn. Week before Swan said $7bn. Budget in complete chaos !!''
Last Monday in a speech in Canberra, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Treasury now estimated that the reduction in tax revenue would increase to "around $12 billion" by the end of the financial year.
The previous week, Treasurer Wayne Swan told ABC TV that revenues had take a hit since the mid-year economic update "of something like $7.5 billion".
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said the government was "constantly getting it wrong" when it came to the budget.
"Every other day now the government is further estimating the extent of revenue losses. And every other day the government is re writing commitments that were cast in stone just a few weeks or months ago," he told reporters in Melbourne.
The Australian Council of Social Service strongly opposed the Gillard government's decision not to go ahead with the boost.
ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie said her organisation understood the current pressures on the budget, but argued there were other more important areas where savings could be found.
"The family payment system is the bulwark against child poverty in Australia," Dr Goldie said.
"It is important to note that the adequacy of family payments has fallen behind due to loss of full indexation since 2009 and we believe the measure to provide low income families around $600 extra a year would go some way to improving that."
Dr Goldie said said that ACOSS had previously argued for an urgent restructure of family payments, including the better targeting of Family Tax Benefit Part B, that provides extra assistance to families with one main income.
Senator Wong's announcement comes as the latest Newspoll confirmed the Coalition's convincing election winning lead.
The poll saw Labor's primary vote drop one point to 31 per cent and the Coalition's vote increase one point to 47 per cent. The Coalition leads Labor on a two party-preferred basis, 56 to 44.

"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."

Slichter's research group at the University of Illinois, Dr. DeSoto published the results of his Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments conducted in a novel class of organic superconductors with a quasi two-dimensional crystal structure in the Physical Review Letters. His research proved that the spin-lattice relaxation mechanism for these superconductors was dominated by motion of the fluxoids, or little lines of magnetic field, poking through the material. Dr. DeSoto met his wife, Laura, when both were students at Wheaton. They married in 1993 and now have two children, Gabriella and Zachary. They both love to explore the outdoors- rock climbing, backpacking and mountain climbing are among their favorite recreational pursuits.

At present, there is strong evidence for the reality of both stellar mass and supermassive black holes, which leads to the intriguing question- why aren't there black holes of in-between sizes? There is some indication that such "goldilox" black holes might exist in certain dwarf galaxies, but their existence is still in the speculative stage. Dr. DeSoto is using spectral data in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to search for observational clues in so-called "pea" galaxies, and in star clusters in nearby galaxies. Publications J. A.

FrameMaker and WORD: Table Title and Pagination Options
FrameMaker is generally known for having "the best tables on the planet." Due to the many things you can do with tables, there are some pagination and formatting features that many users do not discover. This brief video reveals that: (a) Table Titles can go above or below the table, (b) that you can specify that a table start "anywhere" (e.g. below current line) or (c) the table "floats", allowing a backfill of text pagination if the table moves to the next column. The video also touches on how you control breaks with tables, or make a table "unbreakable" in pagination via table row formats. Although these are advanced features, they are very simple and logical to use. Watch the video and find out how "you can do it too!"

The Chateau On Central is one of the few residences in Downtown Phoenix that offers both convenience and 'live-work' space, and banks are offering special loan programs aimed to assist medical professionals acquire these homes.
Doctors work around the clock, saving lives day in and day out. With some of the most renowned hospitals in the nation — including Barrow's Neurological Institute, Phoenix Children's Hospital and Banner Good Samaritan — Downtown Phoenix is at the heart of Arizona's medical industry.
With the highest density of medical facilities in the state, the city has become saturated with doctors and physicians who want a fast and hassle free commute. These practitioners, many of which are surgeons are investing approximately 60-80 hours a week at the hospital.
The growing demand for lock and leave residences among this busy demographic has been proven through the incredible condominium sales in Phoenix. With downtown communities rapidly selling out, Chateau On Central is experiencing a wave of interest from doctors whose needs surpass what neighboring communities are offering.
To accommodate such a large influx of medical professionals capitalizing on downtown's best properties, banks, such as National Bank of Arizona, have begun to offer specialized loan programs to medical professionals. The program introduces a new opportunity to service medical professionals in Arizona with a 95% loan-to-value option on a new home purchase or the refinancing of an existing home, with financing available up to $1.2M.
This program is exclusive to clients who qualify for Executive Banking or Private Banking with National Bank of Arizona. Both divisions within the organization will be dedicating resources to develop and grow this niche segment of business.
"At National Bank of Arizona, we believe that our specialized loan program for physicians is a great opportunity for doctors to purchase or refinance their primary residence and take advantage of these record low interest rates," said Paula O'Neal Wichterman, vice president of National Bank of Arizona's Medical Private Banking Division. "An added benefit is that NB|AZ provides physicians with concierge style banking by a dedicated relationship manager who can work around their busy schedules to ensure their loan and banking needs are met."
For physicians seeking the convenience of a lock and leave lifestyle, as well as the potential for 'live-work' space, Chateau On Central is one of the few residences in Downtown Phoenix that offers both of these unique features. These exclusive vertical living townhomes, zoned for mixed-use residential, feature interior private elevators that service five separate levels, making the homes extremely well suited for the dual purpose approach to the "live-work" concept.
"Over the years I've worked with countless doctors who all share very similar needs regarding their lifestyle necessities in purchasing a home. The top priority is always convenience and the Chateau On Central community never fails to impress and surprise medical professionals who want the best of both worlds, ease and luxury," said Keith Mishkin, owner of Cambridge Properties, broker of record for Chateau On Central. "Purchasing homes of this quality has become easier now since banks have begun offering special home loan programs aimed to aid doctors in the home buying process."

Last weekend I tried something a little different with some chicken thighs. I started by toasting some sesame seeds, roasting 3 small heads of garlic, and mixing them together.
Then I added some softened butter and let the mixture harden in the refrigerator.
I cut the butter into quarters and put each under the skin of a thigh, and then toothpicked the skin in place.
They went over a hot (400F+) indirect fire and finished earlier than I had planned, as the internal temperature was easily over 180F when I took them off.
The meat was still moist even though it was quite done, and the skin was nice and crisp. The sesame garlic paste added a mildly nutty, mellow flavor without the strong taste of raw garlic.

Pomeroy crowned Putnam County Fair queen
July 16th, 2012 | SMWC
A new queen rode into the Putnam County Fair wearing a smile as big as her crown. SMWC sophomore education major and award-winning western equestrian rider Sarah New, from Filmore, Ind., prevailed over 12 other exceptional candidates for the title of Putnam County Fair Queen on July 14, 2012.
"Definitely, (I was) just shaking all over," New said in an interview with the Greencastle Banner Graphic. "An incredible, wonderful feeling that I don't think I've ever had."
During her first year at The Woods, New placed ninth in intermediate horsemanship at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association's national championships, as well as fifth in novice and second in intermediate during the western team semi-finals in Ocala, Fla.
New's accomplishments, both on and off campus, cement her reputation as a talented Pomeroy and an emerging leader. Congratulations!

RYAN Leonard wants Saturday's hard fought win at Chesterfield to kick start the season for both Southend United and himself.
The 20-year-old midfielder made his first start since October as Blues dug deep to beat the Spireites 1-0.
And Leonard is now keen to remain part of Paul Sturrock's side as they push for promotion in to League One.
"For me personally it was great to be back playing again and it was a vital win for the team too," said Leonard.
"It had been a frustrating time for me getting niggling injuries and not playing and the last few results hadn't been too good either.
"But the win at Chesterfield was a character building result and hopefully we can build on that now and hopefully I can play a part in that."
Leonard started the first six games of Southend's season before being struck by a hamstring injury.
Since then he has made the starting line-up just three times and has made five substitute appearances.
However, despite the lack of match action, Leonard was still able to last the full 90 minutes at the Proact Stadium.
"I was feeling it a bit in the last five minutes but I was fine up until then," said the former Plymouth Argyle trainee.
"You do extra training when you're not playing but it's hard to replicate what it's like when you're playing.
"The game would have done me a lot of good though and I want to try and push on now and remain involved for this Saturday's game against Oxford."
The match with the U's will be the third time the teams have met this season.
Oxford won the first clash 2-0 at the Kassam Stadium before Blues won there on penalties in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy earlier this month after the game had ended 3-3.
Leonard is therefore expecting a tough test this weekend.
"Oxford are outside the play-offs but I think their position in the table is a false one," said the midfielder.
"They should be higher up and I'm sure they soon will be so we will have to play well to beat them.
"We've had two hard games against them already this season and I'm sure this will be the same."
However, Leonard remains confident of coming out on top.
And he would love to help make that happen by working his way on the score-sheet.
The midfielder has not netted since scoring at Port Vale in August 2011 and is keen to improve his scoring record.
"I should score more goals than I do and I think that's what I need to work on the most," said Leonard.
"I scored a few during pre-season last year but I should be getting more and Saturday would be a good place to start."

Recently, the Empire has been falling apart. Disease has torn apart the land. The Empire used to have a population of several million, but three-quarters of them have died and the remaining million people are sick and dying. It has been rumoured that the bad disease has been caused by an evil sorcerer, and that evil sorcerer was supposedly hired by a neighbouring empire. Because of that, the two civilizations are now at war, and the war killed thousands of men as well. You have been hired by the Emperor to find the cause of this disease, and destroy it. You are due to meet the Emperor in his palace this afternoon. After spending the night at a nearby inn, you go to the palace in Megapolis. Go bravely with the Empire and your god!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/6/2013 (1521 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In November last year, the city closed the Sherbrook Pool, leaving the community and its dedicated swimmers high and dry. The closure was the result of corrosion of the structure.
A City of Winnipeg assessment of an engineer's report released last week indicates the pool needs $2.7 million in immediate repairs. Maintenance costs will total $3.5 million over the next 20 years. The property and development committee received the report and accepted its one recommendation: to have community consultations in the Daniel McIntyre ward.
Since the city's report was narrowly focused on structural issues and some usage data, it is curious why the city is now undertaking consultations on the recreation needs of the area, especially when there is so much support and demonstrated need for the Sherbrook Pool.
The community has spoken clearly through two public meetings and community-based research about the need to retain and invest in the pool. Furthermore, it is unclear when the consultations will begin -- leaving residents without a local pool and its future unknown.
Built in 1931, Sherbrook Pool has long stood as a Winnipeg icon. The facility fulfils an important need and value in the inner city, one that cannot be found through simply comparing user rates with other city facilities.
In 2009, I was involved in a year-long research project around Sherbrook Pool. Key stakeholders in the community were consulted, an extensive literature review of the barriers, costs and benefits of recreation were analyzed and the pool's history was written.
The report, Winnipeg's Best-Kept Secret: A Community Development Vision for Sherbrook Pool, made clear the need for the pool and the extensive health benefits to the community and to individuals who have been regular swimmers at the pool (some for over 50 years), as well as to the larger society.
People living in low-income neighbourhoods face significant barriers to recreation. Chief among these is poverty, which leaves families unable to afford to send their kids to programs and a lack of transportation to get them there. A Canadian Parks and Recreation Association study indicated cost and transportation are the two main barriers to families accessing recreation.
Sherbook is one of the few pools inner-city residents can get to on foot. Before the November closure, the pool offered a high number of free swim hours or low-cost loonie or toonie swims. The Friends of Sherbrook Pool (FOSP) offer free swim lessons, including a bathing suit, for the neighbourhood kids. Additionally, many groups call the Sherbrook Pool their recreational home. The pool rents space to the Canadian Muslim Women's Institute, which runs a women-only swim so Muslim women can learn to swim while following their religious traditions. Chemosavvy, a group of breast-cancer survivors, train for dragon-boat races at the pool. People with arthritis, multiple sclerosis abd fibromyalgia come from all over the city for the pool's warm waters and large shallow area.
The pool is also home to the Sherbrook Sharks, a swim club of local youth, West Broadway Youth Outreach and many other groups within walking distance.
The cost of repairing Sherbrook Pool is not high, and the upgrades would keep the pool open for 20 years at a fraction of the cost of tearing down and building new. The tank itself is in good condition and if there were the political will to invest in inner-city recreation, there would even be opportunities to upgrade the existing facility.
Mayor Sam Katz has said the FOSP should apply to the province for recreation funding to repair the facility, even before the consultations start.
The mayor himself knows the value of the facility to the inner city, but he wants other funding partners.
The need for consultation is questionable -- the entire inner city, not just Daniel MacIntyre ward, benefits from this facility. The FOSP believe the repairs to the pool should be made as soon as possible and the consultations should focus on a long-term plan.
The community has spoken, and will speak again. The Sherbrook Pool is a key piece of infrastructure for the health and recreation needs of our city.

Shepard and Bell co-starred in the film Hit & Run this year which Shepard also wrote and directed.
Earlier this year, Bell joked that she and Shepard had no problem working together because they are "severely co-dependent".
The couple, both originally from Michigan, started dating in 2007. They have been engaged for about three years.
The couple have told People they were likely to have children before a wedding, as they don't plan to marry until same-sex marriage is legal in California, their home state.

Teams Tie Top Spot in Great Texas Birding Classic
PORT ARANSAS, Texas — For the first time in the eight-year history of the 'Great Texas Birding Classic,' two teams tied for first place in the weeklong competition.
With more new competition categories added every year, it's getting harder to say who "won" the Birding Classic, but the intense, weeklong tournament (actually five continuous days of birding) is still viewed by many as the toughest category for hardcore competitors. Once called the "iron man of birding," the weeklong tournament is why organizers call the Classic the world's longest birding competition.
The ConocoPhillips Cranes from the Houston/Galveston area this year crept up to tie the Swift Wild Birders, a team of young birders from Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, and New York whose core members have captured the top spot in the adult weeklong tournament for several years running. Both teams spotted 327 bird species, down slightly from last year's winning team tally of 329.
In the new Outta-Sight Song Birder Tournament category for the blind and visually impaired, the Espa�a Tweetybirds edged out their friends on the other two teams in the category with 40 species identified. All three teams were actually members of the same group of people who are blind or visually impaired from the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Each team had a sighted birder who accompanied the team blindfolded.
Winners were announced April 25 at the Awards Brunch here. A total of 56 teams participated in the Birding Classic, a slight decrease from last year but still representing a diverse snapshot of today's birding culture, including numerous youth teams.
In the next few weeks, winning teams will award a total of $51,000 to approved avian habitat conservation projects along the Texas coast, bringing the total amount awarded to projects during the past eight years to $402,000.
Birding Classic prize money for habitat conservation comes from corporate sponsors, including Reliant Energy, ConocoPhillips and various optics companies, including Swarovski, Eagle Optics, Zeiss and Bushnell.
Below are winning teams in all categories, with the number of bird species counted listed after the team name. Complete team rosters and team sponsors are on the TPWD Web site at (http://tpwd.texas.gov/gtbc/teams/). Next year's Great Texas Birding Classic will take place April 16-24.

"Great quality card stock, excellent print work + incredible design. Were excited to share this with our guests. It fits our personalities to a tee! SO happy with the customer service and quick delivery. We especially enjoyed unwrapping each individual product. Thank you for having such a smooth process in our chaotic planning."
"bought the tropical romance invitations for for our destination wedding, great quality and fast shipping... the only complaint is the print other than the big bold names is really small..."
"Perfect invitation for a winery wedding. The paper gives it an extra rustic and sophisticated touch. I am very happy with my purchase!"
"I love our wedding invitations. At first I thought the color of the vineyard picture was an odd color, so I had them customize it to make it brighter. Once I saw it in person though, it was too bright. I called them up and they allowed me to return the product for a refund without any hassle. Now I'll receive the same invite in it's original color. I couldn't be happier with their customer service; quick, hassle free, helpful, and friendly. I can't wait to get the new ones, so we can send them off!"
"Awesome, simple invitations. Goes perfectly with the rustic vineyard theme I am going for. The paper is textured, but great quality. With a couple added personal touches (lace, ribbon) this invite will be perfect!"

I'm using pygame to do all the drawing etc, but I've stumbled across a problem. I'm using a random number which then assigns a different colour to the Icon which gets spins. In other words, I draw 9 circles always in the same place, but then the colour changes depending on the random number.
I've done a little bit of testing, but the colours constantly change, and I don't know how to keep them the same, until the person presses spin again.
Note, my program is very bare as I was going to get it all drawn out then implement the game logic.
- Code: Select all
# Spin Icons
for i in range(1, 4):
for j in range(1, 4):
randIconColour = random.randrange(5) # Creates a random colour
randColour = [green, purple, yellow, blue, pink]
pygame.draw.ellipse(screen, randColour[randIconColour], [((85 * i) + (135 * (i - 1))), (117 * j), 80, 80])
This is the current code for drawing and creating the random colour, all of this is inside a game loop.
Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

Little kids can say the darndest things. Like when, during casual conversation, a grown-up uses an adult phrase like "He has big teeth like Potsie," or "I'll bet she has a fancy stick on her glasses like Mrs. Howell," and the little kid then responds to that by saying something humorous like, "Who?"
Recently, one of my younger co-workers, (for this column and the sake of discretion, we'll call her Sarah Maxwell,) wrote a column pointing out how amazed I am every time I use some old television reference, and it goes straight over her head. That is usually due to the fact that she was born in late-December 1989. I told her that I possess clothing older than that. She thought I was joking.
During our conversations, many times she'll tilt her head to the side and look at me with this "How much television did you watch?" kind of look on her face. I then feel required to point out that during my childhood, I did actually go outside every now and then. After all, I don't care for commercials. Since easily 78 percent of all references that I make have to do with cheesy 1970s television, Sarah gives me that look a lot.
In a way, I feel sorry for young, innocent, naive Sarah and for that matter, I feel bad for the majority of the youth of today, since 92.68 percent of the knowledge I have accumulated comes from television shows produced from 1960 to 1985. This "Golden Age of Television" helped shape me into the man I am today. Soft and pear-like.
With the sincere sympathy that I feel for poor little Sarah, I've taken it upon myself to come up with a list of must-watch television programming to help bring her up to speed. Here it is, in no particular viewing order.
"Hogan's Heroes:" The majority of what I know about World War II comes from this fine production. Did you know that all Germans speak perfect English? Neither did I.
"Starsky & Hutch:" Even though I grew up amongst the corn stalks of northern Illinois, I felt as though I was a worldly lad because I knew of the urban plight taking place in fictional Bay City. Plus, Huggy Bear taught me some excellent fashion tips that I carry with me to this very day.
"Gilligan's Island:" All of my maritime expertise comes from the Skipper and Gilligan. Granted, they did wreck a boat, but they managed to turn a three-hour tour into a lifetime of Mary-Ann and Ginger on a tropical paradise. This has to count for something.
"Go-Go Gophers:" Everything I know about the taming of the wild west comes from a combination of this show and "F-Troop." which are basically the same show — one's just a really racist cartoon while the other is a really racist sitcom.
"Alf:" People can tell me that "Star Trek" was the prototypical masterpiece that all future science fiction beliefs were based on, but I prefer my space aliens to look like muppets and feast on felines.
"Little House on the Prairie:" I developed my finely-honed sense of humor from this program. Do you remember during the opening credits when all of the girls are running down the hill and sweet, little Carrie biffs it and falls flat on her face? Makes me chuckle every time.
Add to this list shows such as "Alice," "The Jeffersons," "Mannix," "Fantasy Island," "Hee-Haw," "All-Star Wrestling," "Captain Kangaroo," "Family Feud," "Good Times," "Baretta," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "Super Friends," "The Price is Right," "Chico and the Man," "Laverne and Shirley," "The Brady Bunch," "The Monkees," "Knight Rider," "Gunsmoke," "The Carol Burnett Show," "Bewitched," "All In The Family," "The Waltons," "The Love Boat," "Barnaby Jones," "The Incredible Hulk," "Walker Texas Ranger," "MASH," 'Maude," "Dynasty," "Facts of Life," "Eight is Enough," "Dallas," "The Dukes of Hazard," "Rocky and Bullwinkle," "Roller Derby," "The Muppet Show," "Leave it to Beaver," "Night Court," "Donny and Marie," "Real People," "H.R. Pufnstuf," "Romper Room," "The Newlywed Game," "Sanford and Son," "Growing Pains," "The Banana Splits," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Three's Company," "Bonanza," "Charlie's Angels," "Wonder Woman," "The Bob Newhart Show," "Green Acres," "I Dream of Jeannie," "The Rockford Files," "Match Game," "One Day at a Time" and "The Pink Panther," and you begin to have a virtual plethora of small-screen knowledge. (I should note that this is intended as only a partial listing but should help any young person on the way to becoming a well-rounded adult. In other words, soft and pear-like.)
I'll have to tell Sarah about this great idea of mine and show her this list a little later. I have to be quiet right now because we just gave her a bottle and put her down for her afternoon nap.

Before wide browser support for the CSS @font-face rule, web pages were limited to "browser safe fonts." This meant the designer was constrained to using fonts that were available on every visitor's machine. @font-face allows a web designer to make typeface decisions based on aesthetics rather than availability.
All modern browsers now support web fonts, in some form. Microsoft Internet Explorer has supported @font-face since 1997 in version 4, Apple Safari implemented support in 2008 in version 3.1, Mozilla Firefox added support in 2009 in version 3.5, and Google Chrome added support in 2010 in version 6.
Adobe BrowserLab has full support for @font-face. BrowserLab can help you ensure your @font-face declarations are working across multiple browsers. By giving you the ability to quickly test your @font-face declaration across target browsers, you can move on to designing the rest of your site. Give BrowserLab a try with your web fonts enabled pages.
When using @font-face you need to be aware of supported font formats and browser specific syntax. There is currently no universally supported web font format. Failing to provide proper font formats and browser supported CSS will result in your page rendering inconsistently across browsers. If done incorrectly, visitors will see the browser's default font instead of the specified font.
There are some great font services that take care of cross browser support by dynamically generating the appropriate CSS for each browser. Typekit, Webtype, WebINK, and Fonts.com are some of the services available, and all of them generally take care of hosting and licensing. Using one of these services allows the quickest path to implementation without having to know too much about the underlying technology. Typekit provides many fonts created by Adobe, and we are working together to offer more Adobe fonts in the future.
If you find yourself needing to roll your own web fonts, there are a few basics that are required to ensure your intended fonts show up on all browsers:
First, and most importantly: Ensure your font license allows you to use a font on the web. Many foundries do not permit the use of their desktop fonts on the web. For more information, check out the Adobe Type blog on this subject.
Know your font formats. There are a few different versions of web fonts in use today.
- Embedded OpenType (.eot) – Supported by Internet Explorer only.
- TrueType/OpenType (.ttf/.otf) – Supported by the widest range of browsers, but, not supported in Internet Explorer. (this may change in IE9)
- Web Open Font Format (.woff) – Supported in recent versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, but not yet supported in Safari.
In addition to needing to worry about licenses and multiple font formats, browsers interpret CSS code differently, so writing a rule to include your fonts is less than straightforward. "Bulletproof" syntax for @font-face has evolved over the years to work around browser inconsistencies. Much of the syntax seems repetitive and counter intuitive. For a good history of @font-face and a clear explanation of the CSS syntax read the "The New Bulletproof @Font-Face Syntax" blog post at Fontspring. Learning how the syntax has evolved gives a clearer picture of how each browser handles @font-face.
FontSquirrel is a web service that will convert fonts for you and generate CSS code. After uploading your fonts, FontSquirrel will convert your fonts for cross browser usage and generate CSS for you. The CSS code generated by FontSquirrel also happens to work just about everywhere, including mobile devices. If you use FontSquirrel to generate web fonts, make sure you have the proper license to do so.
I hope this brief introduction to web fonts has been helpful, and that you find BrowserLab to be a useful tool in helping you test your pages with web fonts.
Shout out to Paul Irish, Christopher Slye on the Adobe Type team, and Fontspring for their help and insight on web fonts.

Last week I'd picked up 2 racks of loin back ribs at the store so I fixed them for dinner Wednesday and Thursday. It was sheer coincidence that my wife was working and I had to eat them all myself.
They were decently meaty and had already been peeled.
When I was in Greensburg, Indiana at the end of August Jhumpert and I checked out the butcher shop across the street from Pork-N-More, and I bought a jar of rub and a bottle of steak sauce.
I believe it took about 90 minutes for the ribs to go from raw to done. I used briquettes with a little oak and apple for smoke.
The ribs came out pretty good but I found the rub to be just a little to sweet for my liking, so I gave it to my boss since he coats his ribs in brown sugar. A not-so-sweet sauce did help, though.
The next night I reached into Steven's rib book for the Memphis Dry Rub Ribs recipe. The ribs aren't rubbed or seasoned prior to grilling but are instead occasionally basted with a mop sauce made from the rub.
After cutting the individual ribs are given a final splash of mop sauce before being coated with the rub. This was a pretty messy operation and I made sure to clean up the kitchen before my wife got home.
They turned out really good and had a lot of flavor, although when I reheated some for lunch the next day the flavor was muted a little bit because the mop sauce had "gone away". Even though I don't sauce and only occasionally mop my ribs, this approach was a nice change of pace from dry ribs where the rub is applied prior to cooking.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After a 2-year-old girl hospitalized with head injuries died, charges against the mother's boyfriend were upgraded to murder, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Brooklyn Sanchez suffered severe head trauma and died four days later. On Saturday, the Medical Examiner's Office determined her death was the result of a blunt force head injury and was a homicide.
Devonte Baker, 20, was arrested on Dec. 15 on charges of aggravated child abuse, causing great bodily harm, permanent disability and disfigurement. On Wednesday, Baker,, who was still in custody, was charged with murder.
Police said the girl was in Baker's care when she was injured. They said Baker told the child's parent or guardian that she had slipped and fell into the shower.
Police said when they questioned Baker, he gave different accounts of what happened that did not match up with the girl's injuries. His final version was that he had gotten frustrated with the girl because she was whining and crying after injuring her lip in the shower, police said.
According to the police report, Baker told investigators he shoved the girl to the ground and she struck the floor, according to the police report. He said he didn't call for help because he was scared and was hoping the girl would just wake up, according to the report.
Baker was rebooked on the murder charge.

Describe the goal, not the step
If you are trying to find out how to do something (as opposed to reporting a bug), begin by describing the goal. Only then describe the particular step towards it that you are blocked on.
Often, people who need technical help have a high-level goal in mind and get stuck on what they think is one particular path towards the goal. They come for help with the step, but don't realize that the path is wrong. It can take substantial effort to get past this.
Stupid: How do I get the color-picker on the FooDraw program to take a hexadecimal RGB value?
Smart: I'm trying to replace the color table on an image with values of my choosing. Right now the only way I can see to do this is by editing each table slot, but I can't get FooDraw's color picker to take a hexadecimal RGB value.
The second version of the question is smart. It allows an answer that suggests a tool better suited to the task.

8 Spring Wardrobe Essentials
Day 1
Where: Off to run some errands around town, then tonight I'll host a champagne toast on my rooftop. It is spring after all; these simple pleasures in life need to be celebrated.
What: H&M dress, Michael Kors shoes, Louis Vuitton bag, Gucci sunglasses, Lia Sophia bangles
Why: Since it's finally 70 degrees out, I can break out my best accessory: my legs. There is absolutely nothing more comfortable than a T-shirt dress, and the neon stripes on this one add a little more "spring" to my step. The neutral tones of my tote and sandals keep me grounded so this spring wind doesn't carry me away!
Day 2
Where: First stop, the office for a couple of meetings to discuss the progress of our Global Street Chic feature. But once the clock strikes 6, the real fun begins: off to a launch party at the top of the Standard Hotel. I'm pretty sure you can see Alaska from up there.
What: Elie Tahari blazer, Equipment blouse, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent lace shorts, Zara purse, Max Mara shoes
Why: Shorts are a great spring staple, day and night. These neon yellow lace shorts are dying to go for a spin! The white blazer got a bad rap from Miami Vice, but this tailored one pulls together my colorful look perfectly!

This - OK, last - year for New Year's Eve we stayed in and grilled up 3 pounds of 16/20 shrimp using some recipes from allrecipes.com.
One of the local grocery stores had shrimp on sale for $7.99/lb and while I'm pretty sure it'd been previously frozen and treated with STP the price was right.
I mixed up the marinades and let the shrimp sit in the fridge for a couple of hours before skewering.
I wound up with 6 skewers so they had to be cooked in 2 batches, but one of the things I like about shrimp is that it's just as good at room temperature as it is hot.
Surprisingly, some shrimp was left over (and that might've been after 1 or 2 late-night fridge visits) so next morning I peeled them and Mrs. Chicken whipped up an omelet.
If only I could've enjoyed it in peace...

DETROIT - A smartphone app that analyzes urine and checks for a range of medical conditions was shown off recently at the Technology, Education and Design (TED) conference in Los Angeles.
The app called Uchek uses a phone's camera to tests for 25 different health problems.
Urine can be tested for the existence of glucose, proteins and nitrites, according to the creator of the app Myshkin Ingawale.
Ingawale says urine can be used to identify diabetes, urinary tract infects, cancers, liver problems as well as be an indicator to overall health.
How it works:
Users need to collect urine and dip a test strip into it.
The strip is placed on a mat which is supplied with the app.
The user needs to take a photo of the strip and the app will then analyze which, if any, condition the color applies to from a chart.
The app will be available from Apple's app store from the end of March for $20, which includes the cost of the mat and five dipsticks.

Samsung Omnia W Pictures
Samsung Omnia W is a stylish Windows Phone 7.5 Mango smartphone with a rather thin 0.43-inch profile and relatively lightweight 4.07-ounce body. Designwise, it's similar to the original Omnia 7, but instead of going for a strictly rectangular shape, here the edges are rounded. It's also a hair thinner and half an ounce lighter. But the key word in the description of the W series seems to be balance as the handset doesn't shine with anything in particular in the hardware department. It features a 3.7-inch WVGA Super AMOLED display, while under the hood a 1.4GHz processor runs along with 512MB of RAM. On the back, there's a 5-megapixel camera recording 720p video footage, while up front a VGA shooter will make video conferencing easier.The rest is pretty standard - 14.4Mbps HSPA connectivity, 8 gigs of on-board memory, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi b/g/n and A-GPS.

has anyone heard of this http://tryghost.org/ blogging site andwhat do people think is the best blogging site to use?
No never heard.Good blogging sites are blogger,wordpress etc.
I have never heard of them but they look pretty professional. In terms of web based blogging platforms (if that's what you're looking for), ellena points out the good ones which are blogger and wordpress. I'm sure there are many others out there that are good however you should also think about down the road when you have questions or need support. If you go with something less well-known, chances are you will have a tougher time finding info for questions than you would if you were to go with a more popular platform. Personally I would just go with Blogger or Wordpress. If you really want to make something cool you should go with a self-hosted wordpress setup.
Hope that helps,
I never heard about it and didn't use it ever. However, this is platform for ghost writing and expert authors who want money for writing something about another one. If you want to submit your blog then weebly, wordpress, blogger, livejournal and tumbler are best blogs platform.
Well in my Knowledge both wordpress and blogger are good for blogging , Problem with wordpres.org is that you can monetize your blog with ads whereas in blogger you can monetize blog content with customs ads . better compare and try Blogger vs wordpress
If you checked out the link that @sugardaddy ; posted and the video on the Kickstarter page, you should know that Ghost is NOT a "platform for ghost writing and expert authors who want money for writing something about another one". :lol:
Anyway, Ghost looks slick to me, in terms of its user-friendliness design and intuitive functionality. I have to agree with the guy behind it that popular blogging software and content management systems like Wordpress are becoming very complicated, especially for beginners. Yes, for savvy website owners, having control over every single element on our website and the ability to customize are important but a simple blogging software can do a lot in getting people started.
Hello Wayne Liew, I don't not agree with you that blogger and wordpress CMS is complicated. There are many tutorials available for understand the Blogger and wordpress CMS. Nothing is difficult at the net.
are they free of charge or is it a paid blogging site?
Wordpress and Blogger are free blogging Sites
The site will launched on May 28.. I don't know if this blogging platform can compete to blogger and wordpress..
I have read above all posts and also see that website which is in first post. I never heard about this website before but after looking it's feathures, I think it is useful. It's blog "Ghost : Kickstarter" is really very interesting to read. Is this site accept Guest Blogs..?
Bringing this up as Ghost is out now for download and install. My first Ghost blog with a few Ghost related articles http://ghost.centminmod.com
I still want blogger and wordpress. Wordpress is flexible and can be made to run everything from an eCommerce store to a video-focused tumblog. Blogger is easy to use, easy to get started, even a caveman could do it.
Well, I think Wordpress or Blogger would both be good blogging sites. You can turn whatever blog you have into an asset. It may not be profit-earning but it will surely keep your targeted market within your network. All it needs are great relevant content and more interaction from you.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/8/2013 (1466 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tebow is chicken: no, really
Write if you get work: Tim Tebow, the most exciting quarterback that nobody wants to be their starter, has found it prudent to seek out another income stream.
So he is investing in several franchised branches of a restaurant chain. It's called PDQ - for "People Dedicated to Quality" - but those people are not dedicated to chicken welfare: The menu consists of chicken burgers, chicken salads, chicken tenders, chicken and turkey sandwiches... you get the idea.
All of Tebow's outlets will be in northeast Florida. Construction on the Jacksonville branch has started.
TT is currently the number-three passer with the New England Patriots.
A pregnant pause
Trying frantically to calm the story down, Simon Cowell met 10 days ago with his ex-pal Andrew Silverman. You'll recall the friendship was strained to breaking when it turned out Andy's wife, Lauren, is pregnant by Simon. (I'm sure I saw a similar storyline on Days of Our Lives. But I digress.)
Anyway, the N.Y. Daily News now reports that after meeting, Andrew seems to have calmed down and so his divorce from Lauren now seems likely to go through with little acrimony and less publicity -- just the way Simon wants.
Stork news
It's a girl, Everest Hobson Lucas, for Star Wars guy George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson. The baby, via a surrogate mother, is the first child for Hobson and the fourth for Lucas, who has three grown adopted kids.
These two, a couple since '06, got married this summer.
Mellody, who runs an investment firm, is 44. Lucas is 69.
-- It's a boy, Vernon Lindsay Vaughn, for actor Vince Vaughn and his wife, Kyla Weber. All are well.
Gotta love those zombies
After all that critical luke-warmness about Brad Pitt's big-budget movie World War Z, guess who's laughing all the way to the bank?
Paramount Pictures says the picture has surpassed $500 million gross receipts worldwide, making it Brad's biggest movie, replacing Troy. The $220-million zombie picture is intended as the first of a franchise. With revenue numbers like that, we'd better prepare for World War Z-II, -III, and maybe -IV.
New apple of her eye
Adrian Fenty, a former mayor of Washington D.C., nowadays works for some Silicon Valley venture-capital outfit. Laurene Powell Jobs is the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Now they're a couple, says the Washington Post.
Admit it; you'd never heard of Laurene. Neither had I. She's awfully private, but big in philanthropy circles, as somebody who just inherited $10 billion might expect to be.
She's 49. Adrian's 42.
Lights, camera... forget the action
So why did Bruce Willis refuse that $3-million payday for four days work on the movie Expendables 3? True, the picture is shooting in Bulgaria, but still, $750,000 a day...
Now Willis tells the Spanish magazine XLS he's bored with action films: "I know part of my audience enjoys the explosions, but to be honest, I'm a bit bored of it now. "... I work in all sorts of films, but the action movies are the ones that generate the most revenue. I like to earn lots of money from those, but I do all types: small productions, megaprojects, medium-sized..."
He's 56.
Rumour has it...
Make a list of, say, 10 adjectives that you'd apply to Adele, the singer. Go ahead, try it. I'll wait...
Done? I'll bet you didn't have "villainous" on your list, did you? So I wonder how she'll do playing the baddie in Vince Vaughn's new movie, The Secret Service. The Sun, in England, had the story: She's close to signing for the gig.
Sounds like a strange picture: Based on a comic by Mark Millar, it will also have Elton John doing a fight scene, David Beckham making a cameo, etc.
Oh no! She's leaving
The 10th season of Grey's Anatomy, starting next month, will be the last for Sandra Oh, she says.
The Ottawa-born actress tells The Hollywood Reporter that she has "gone through a lot of therapy" about this, but that a decade is enough.
"It's such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well. (Her character, Dr. Cristina Yang) wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go."
She's 42.
They took the cash
Dignity? Money? Dignity? Money? One Direction, the boy band, had to choose.
And since "boy band" pretty much precludes dignity anyway, they grabbed for the cash: The band's tween followers can now buy One Direction-brand lipsticks, nail polishes and lip glosses.
It's not easy being famous
Jennifer Lawrence is always charming, unaffected, candid -- but she's starting to grumble, rather bitterly, about the price of fame.
Here's what she said on the subject in that new Vogue interview: "All of a sudden the entire world feels entitled to know everything about me, including what I'm doing on my weekends when I'm spending time with my nephew. And I don't have the right to say, 'I'm with my family.' " There's more: "If I were just your average 23-year-old girl and I called the police to say that there were strange men sleeping on my lawn and following me to Starbucks, they would leap into action. But because I am a famous person, well, 'sorry, ma'am, there's nothing we can do.' It makes no sense."
Sobriety on the set, please
David Arquette's been fired from a movie, Something About Her, allegedly because he was drunk on the set. RadarOnline had the story. Arquette was about the biggest name in the picture, which features Cameron Richardson (I know; me neither), and Sherilynn Fenn. He's been replaced by Anthony Michael Hall.
"The director had no choice but to fire him on the spot," Nameless Insider told Radar. "Everyone on the set was (rude word for annoyed) and disappointed." Dave was in rehab in 2011, after the end of his 12-year marriage to Courtney Cox. He's 41.
