WASHINGTON (Mar. 11)
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D. Mass.) demanded yesterday that the Carter Administration "tell the complete story" of its vote in support of the United Nations Security Council's anti-Israel resolution of March 1 and the subsequent disavowal of the vote by President Carter.
"It is time for the Administration to resolve" whether it was," simply negligent" or whether the President "actually decided to cost on unprecedented vote against Israel and then reversed the decision in face of mounting criticism," Kennedy said.
The Massachusetts Democrat, who is seeking his party's Presidential nomination, addressed 800 delegates to the B'nai B'rith Women's biennial convention here where he received a standing ovation and rousing applause.
"The only way to repair its damaged credibility," Kennedy said, "is for the Administration to tell the complete story of this sorry episode by making public all the documents and instructions and minutes of meetings before and after the vote and by permitting every Administration official involved in the event to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee." The committee, which will hold a hearing on the matter early next week, had already summoned State Department witnesses to testify.
Kennedy said, "Neither the people of America nor the people of Israel should pay the price of a foreign policy that fails to meet the tests of clarity and consistency and strength. That alone can restore the confidence of our allies and the respect of our adversaries."
The Senator added, "It is not always easy for Americans to understand the special burdens of the people of Israel. We do not have to live in a sea of hostility and fear. But the people of Israel do. We do not have to live surrounded by nations pledged to destroy us. But the people of Israel do. Peace is all that Israel asks."
Kennedy, who was the first public official to criticize the U.S. vote in the Security Council, called it an "appalling betrayal of Israel." He said that "After two days of urgent meetings in an atmosphere of crisis" following the protests against the vote, the Administration "released a statement saying the UN vote was all a mistake because the resolution contained references to Jerusalem they thought had been deleted. But the references to Jerusalem were not the only problem. The resolution was not a complex document, nor was it filled with legalistic phrases, its page-and-a-half of text was a stark attack on Israel in almost every line."
Continuing, Kennedy declared, "So today, Israel and other friends of the U.S. must consider what kind of ally has to say it is 'sorry' and the friends of Israel must worry how the Carter Administration will react after the 1980 election is over if they should win a second term. We cannot accept a policy that seeks to impose a settlement that threatens the security of Israel and tries to call it peace."

Ancestor by Scott Sigler
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
Scott Sigler's writing style reminds me of a cross between Stephen King's and Michael Crichton's. Sigler has a grasp on modern science and technology, and uses it to invest the reader emotionally in the well-being of his stories' characters, creating gripping tales that leave you wanting to read "just one more page" all the way until the end of the book.
Ancestor, one of Sigler's earlier works, definitely feels a little less polished than some of his later books (e.g. Infected). For a book whose main premise is supposed to be about primordial, ravenous monsters, the "ancestors" don't really show up until about 2/3 of the way through the story. However, Sigler spends this time weaving a web of plot, characters, and settings that play out beautifully once the savage killing-spree begins.
Overall, this is a really engaging story with just enough science to make things seem plausible without going overboard and making most non-biochemistry students' eyes glaze over. It showcases the potential perils of genetic engineering WITHOUT preaching them, and ties it into a plot with decent characterization, engaging the reader and keeping him/her on edge right up until the last page.
Note: This review refers to the eBook version released by Scott Sigler and Dragon Moon Press in March 2007.

Sunday was a day of many firsts for Jeff Tuel.
The former Salpointe Catholic High School quarterback received his first career start in the Bills' 23-13 loss to the undefeated Chiefs.
It only took 13 minutes from the start of the game before the quarterback tossed his first professional touchdown pass, a 59-yard pass to Marquise Goodwin. Tuel completed 18 of 39 passes for 229 yards and rushed three times for 17 yards.
Tuel may be back on the bench this week against Pittsburgh; Buffalo quarterbacks Thad Lewis and E.J. Manuel are expected to return from injuries.
Player of the Week
Nick Foles QB, Philadelphia Eagles
The former Arizona Wildcat added his name to the NFL record books Sunday, when he threw for seven touchdowns in a win over the Raiders. Foles joined Peyton Manning and five others as the only quarterbacks to ever toss seven touchdowns in a game. Foles also set a career-high with 404 passing yards. This week, the Eagles will face the Packers, a team Foles has yet to face in his two years in the NFL.
Four to watch
• Rob Gronkowski TE, New England Patriots
The former Wildcat caught a season-high nine passes for 143 yards last week. Gronkowski will have a week to rest with the Patriots on a bye.
• Juron Criner WR, Oakland Raiders
The UA product stepped on the field for the first time this season Sunday and caught three passes for a career-high 32 yards. Criner's Raiders travel to the New York this week to face the Giants.
• Nick Folk K, New York Jets
Folk converted four field goals and two extra points in Sunday's win over the Saints. His perfect kicking record will remain intact for another week, since New York is on a bye.
• Earl Mitchell
NT, Houston Texans
Mitchell accumulated four tackles in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell and teammate Brooks Reed will go up against their former UA teammate Antoine Cason when the Texans and Cardinals meet Sunday in Glendale.
The Big Number
Nick Foles' seven touchdowns now account for 36.8 percent of his career scoring totals. Foles had 12 career passing touchdowns before Sunday's win in Oakland.
Give the Devil his due
Terrell Suggs LB, Baltimore Ravens
The former Arizona State star recorded his ninth sack of the season in last week's 24-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Suggs also had seven tackles, bringing his season total to 60. The Ravens and Suggs take on the Bengals this Sunday.
He Said It
"I didn't want to lose my mentality that I started the game with, so I had no clue how many touchdowns I had thrown or anything."
— Nick Foles said about his career day for the Eagles last Sunday. The UA product tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in three quarters against the Raiders.

The 86th Annual Academy Awards are tonight. I'm a little excited.
The 86th Annual Academy Awards are tonight. I'm a little excited.
I probably shouldn't be. I haven't seen all of the nominated films. I haven't kept up as much as I normally would. But I'm excited just the same.
It has become a tradition at my house that my daughter and I curl up on the couch about the time the red carpet arrivals begin with a few bottles of sparkling grape juice and trays of non-Sunday-dinner treats. We don't have a real meal that night; instead, we dine on cold vegetables, fruit and appetizers. We usually throw in some popcorn, too.
We watch the stars arrive, critique the dresses and wait happily for the opening number.
This year, we're pretty excited that Ellen Degeneres is hosting the production. We both get a laugh from her most times we have seen anything she does.
We always know who we want to win in the major categories long before the telecast begins, but to be honest, we sometimes change our minds before the envelope is opened. We can be fickle that way. It's a good thing we aren't involved in the judging.
My daughter won't stay up until the end of the show. She'll remind me that she has school tomorrow and needs her sleep. I will tell her goodnight, and then stubbornly stay up until the final curtain all by myself.
I honestly think this is the very best kind of Oscar party. It's relaxed, fun and I'll admit, at times, a bit catty. It's our tradition.
I can't really remember when it's been different or at least much different.
The last time I threw an Oscar party I was in graduate school. The last time I attended one I think was before that.
On the radio the other morning, the hosts were discussing Oscar parties. One brought up that many people have Oscar parties where people come dressed in evening gowns and tuxedos as though they were actually attending the awards show.
I remember a friend of mine attending one of those a couple of years ago. I remember thinking it sounded like fun.
But I think I fit in more with the radio co-host who when asked if she was going to throw a black-tie Oscar party, said absolutely not. She would be watching the show in her pajamas, and she'd probably fall asleep before the end, she added.
I guess sticking with our pajamas as the outfit of the evening isn't that bad a plan after all.
But for those of you hosting a party tonight, I found several tips that, at least according to those who offered the tips, are sure to make it the best party ever.
First, don't forget decorations. The most suggested was to provide your own red carpet. I'm not sure you can get a red carpet today, so if you don't have one handy, I have a red doormat you can borrow. I figure it's close enough.
Second, proper food is a must. Now on this, I saw many different suggestions, but all the advice-givers agreed you have to have the right food. Suggestions included, among other things, popcorn bars, ice cream sundaes, hot dogs and Oreo cookies (for that black-tie look). Personally, food served at my house will include carrots, celery, grape tomatoes, strawberries, melon, pineapple and miniature crab cakes. We might throw in some pizza rolls, too, and there will definitely be popcorn. You're perfectly welcome to steal my menu if you'd like.
Third, make sure to have a big screen to watch as the evening unfolds. I don't have one of those. It's never seemed to be much of a problem, but if you're going to have more than two or three people watching, it might be better if your guests can actually see the event.
Finally, have fun; play some games; make it an event. The party-advisers also suggest prizes be given to the ones who chose the winners in each category. Prize suggestions range from fingernail polish to pens to notebooks to small bottles of champagne.
We won't have any prizes at my house, but remember if Meryl Streep or George Clooney win, I picked them and should get the prize. And I don't really care whether George was nominated or not. I'm certain my write-in campaign will be successful, and I'll be the only one that picked him a winner — no matter what the category.

In a story sure to warm Black Hawk's heart (inside joke, sorry) a group of around 100 penguins who have been living it up in Rio de Janeiro are being deported back to Antarctica by the Brazilian military. The high living flightless waterfowl have been lounging about Ipanema bothering the Brazilian bikini babes after having caught a ride on ice flows.
Penguins arrive from the Antarctic Circle on ice floes that melt in the vicinity of Brazil's shore and the birds wash up on Rio beaches every winter. Typically many of the birds are sent to local zoos.
A plane carrying equipment for an Antarctic naval base will take the penguins to Brazil's southernmost region next month, an air force spokesman said on Monday. They will continue their journey on a naval ship, which will release them into the ocean in their Antarctic habitat.
We're supposed to believe this is all accidental, but we here at Blue Crab Boulevard know the truth about the animal uprising. Sunbathing penguins are the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Wait until the walruses start asking the Brazilian beauties for a date!

Chris Mallon, Chief Executive of the National Beef Association, has received many telephone calls asking for information about the cattle on the Somerset Flats and the other main areas which have been affected by the severe flooding. Here he asks for support for both the farmers and their livestock.I really want to reiterate that yes, the flooding is have a dramatic effect, however, the main concern for all of the farmers who are being affected at this current time is the welfare of their livestock. They farm 365 days a year and they are there to care for their animals, this weather is making it almost impossible for them to do that. Yes, there will be financial implications however this is something farmers will need to consider at a later stage. At this stage well all must try to help them.The local community are already supporting these livestock producers and this morning Sedgemoor Auction Centre, North Petherton, coordinating the transportation of cattle off farms has sent out an appeal for fodder. This fodder will be used to feed livestock which has been moved onto other farms or where the feed has been destroyed on farms. There is a second appeal, or donations to assist with haulage, many of the local hauliers are giving their time and services free of charge, however additional support will also be required.These areas which are being so tragically affected by flooding are home to many suckler and dairy farms and farmers need support for their livestock. On some farms, cattle are having to be moved to safety and on most farms grain, hay and silage stores have destroyed or rendered inaccessible by the water. This has resulted in a severe shortage of feed. Dairy farmers are also struggling hugely as milking parlours and calf rearing facilities, which all have electronic systems, have been totally destroyed. Once the water penetrates them they are effectively a right off. The movement of cattle is being organised and co-ordinated by Sedgemoor Auction Marts who are doing fantastic job in the most difficult and emotive of conditions.

I have to admit that I felt some empathy for Lauren Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina and a runner-up to Miss Teen USA who became an overnight Internet sensation in August for her badly boggled and meandering answer to the question: Why can't one-fifth of Americans locate the United States on a map? I've been in the spotlight too, and I've lost my train of thought in the middle of answering a question, heard the rush of blood to my brain as I desperately tried to get back on track. I could feel her pain. But, then again, I've never answered any question with "the Iraq."
Miss Upton's answer, before it went horribly astray, started in a credible direction. She wondered if part of our geographic ineptitude was due to the fact that some "U.S. Americans" don't have maps. Good point, Lauren. I grew up with several roadmaps and atlases in my house, but when I look around today, my residence is void of any printed maps. The reason I've gone mapless is probably because I have access to amazingly detailed digital maps anytime online. So, all of this has got me thinking (no surprise) about our online geographic focus. What are we looking for? What can't we find? The answers may surprise you and potentially help future pageant contestants should this question ever arise again.
I started my analysis by surveying the things people most want to find. To create my Internet lost and found I queried the Hitwise database for all searches that contained the terms "where is." The most popular "where is" query is a search for lyrics to the song "Where Is the Love," presumably the Black Eyed Peas version. (Catchy tune.) Over the last four weeks, that search was followed closely by searches for various small towns in Utah Sandy, for instance perhaps due to polygamist Warren Jeffs' recently concluded rape trial. (Guilty.) One of the most popular "where is" queries, which ranks at number six but appears repeatedly, in various forms, throughout the top 20,000 searched terms, is "where is my refund?"
Clearly we're looking for lots of things, but they're not all geographical. So, I checked our Internet usage from a different angle: what are the top searches that send traffic to the 174 mapping sites that Hitwise tracks? Once you get past basic queries for the URLs of sites like Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps, it turns out that the top searches aren't for countries, states or cities. People don't want to know where the Iraq is. Rather, the most popular search requests are for the closest "Wal-Mart," followed by "Best Buy," "Pizza Hut" and "Costco." We've zoomed in so close we've put on blinders to the world beyond the street-by-street route to the nearest big box store that it's hardly any wonder that 20% of our populace can't locate their own country on a map. With all of this technology, we've lost the serendipity factor that allowed past generations to expand their horizons and learn about the world simply by having an atlas open in front of them. (Not to mention books, newspapers and encyclopedias.) It seems that the desire to get lost in the world and to learn something new has been overtaken by the instant gratification of point-to-point directions.
Given that our use of mapping functions in the U.S. isn't educational but utilitarian we consult online maps for little else but driving directions I felt the uncontrollable urge to delve into the age-old battle-of-the-sexes issue: are men (myself included) unwilling to ask for directions even online? The answer is yes, but only slightly less so than women. The demographics of visitors to the most popular maps-and-directions website in the U.S., Mapquest, reveal that women are only 8% more likely than men to visit the site. Perhaps men are more willing than usual to ask for virtual directions because the web protects against potential embarrassment. That's a tip Miss Teen South Carolina could surely have used.

At an otherwise fairly pedestrian House of Representatives hearing on geoengineering today—the first of its kind in the United States—science committee chair Representative Bart Gordon (D–TN) announced a new partnership with the U.K. House of Commons to hold joint hearings on the controversial topic next year. The effort would mark the inaugural effort to set up international rules on the topic:
Chairman Gordon announced that this hearing will be part of a partnership with the United Kingdom House of Commons Science and Technology Committee. The two Committees will hold parallel hearings and share materials once they are publicly available.
"Geoengineering has decidedly global implications, and research should be considered in the context of a transparent international process," said Gordon. "Yesterday the Commons Committee voted to undertake a parallel effort to examine the domestic and international regulatory frameworks that may be applicable to geoengineering. We will be in close contact with them, sharing the findings from our own efforts. When they complete their work in the spring the Chairman of the Committee will testify before us in a hearing on domestic and international governance issues."
"We need to set some ground rules," said Gordon In an interview with ScienceInsider last week. The effort might include legislators from other countries, he said today.

Are you listening to the national conversation about childhood hunger, the epidemic of child obesity and the movement to feed school children tasty healthy foods at school? Community leaders in Humboldt County are engaged in these issues, and providing a healthy school lunch is one of the opportunities where local partnerships can make a difference. How do we as local policy organizations, businesses, and schools integrate our efforts to provide high quality, nutritious food to our children? Humboldt County, the Community Alliance with Family Farmers and the Humboldt County Office of Education are working together to connect Humboldt Made food producers to local school lunch programs.
On Tuesday, March 19, the children in 26 Humboldt County schools will enjoy locally grown organic beef in their tacos. Thanks to a generous donation from Humboldt's own, Clint Victorine of Eel River Organic Beef and Pacific Pastures Grassfed Beef, Taco Tuesday will give our kids one of the best foods we grow! Victorine is the first Humboldt Made producer to sponsor the school lunch program at this level.
"It's difficult to think that children are going hungry in Humboldt County," Victorine said. "Mostly, I want to help remedy this situation, but also I want to help start the conversation. How can we, as local producers, insure that youth in our community have enough healthy foods to eat?"
Why is this so hard? Well, money is one reason ... school cafeteria budgets are very small. Food directors are challenged to provide healthy, kid-friendly meals for hundreds of children each day and maximize every penny they spend. To balance the budget, the centerpiece of a school meal is often a commodity item, manufactured by an industrial processor that meets federal dietary standards and keeps the costs low. In 2011, San Francisco school district bought Eel River Organic Beef hot dogs at full price. But with 9,720 school-age children (54 percent) eligible for free and reduced lunches, Humboldt County schools need innovative, systemic solutions to pay the costs and meet the demand for whole foods from our regional sources.
Finding systemic solutions will surely require ambition and planning, but it's achievable. "There's been a lot of progress through the county, HCOE and through affiliated community partners. Having Humboldt County food producers at the table will make a difference, in both the economic development and community health and wellness arenas," said Connie Stewart, executive director of the California Center for Rural Policy.
Humboldt Made businesses are essential to find solutions, like Taco Tuesday. "We were amazed by Clint's generosity, and decided to highlight his product through a coordinated countywide effort," said Linda Prescott, nutrition education program manager for HCOE. "We want to especially highlight the community and health benefits of organic, grass-fed beef." In addition to local beef, Taco Tuesday will also feature the salsa that was selected as "Most Marketable" in HCOE's 2012 Culinary All STARS Salsa Recipe Competition. Bien Padre will be producing a limited run of the "Viva Las Veggies" recipe created by South Fortuna Elementary EXCEL after school program, with the first release scheduled in time for March 19.
HCOE and the Community Alliance with Family Farmers have also been working together to bring local produce into classrooms and cafeterias. Through HCOE's "Harvest of the Month" programs, students taste a different fruit or vegetable each month, including locally grown items when possible. Through these efforts, students get to know local farms and farmers like Clendenen's Cider Works, Fieldbrook Valley Apple Farm, Fieldbrook Valley Nursery, Neukom Family Farm, New Moon Organics, the Produce Peddler and Willow Creek Farms.
"Students really respond to the high quality and flavor of the fresh items, and school districts have proven to be a viable market for local produce farmers," says Erin Derden-Little, CAFF farm to school coordinator. "Now, because of Clint, we are looking at the center of the plate as well. This is an exciting time for school food in Humboldt County."
Connecting with local food producers, who can meet evolving nutritional standards and special dietary needs of the student population, will be a priority for community partners invested in advancing the healthy food options in Humboldt County schools. The goal is to craft agreements that are viable for local businesses and the school districts involved. Collaborative purchasing and shared delivery systems are just two of the strategies they are looking at. The solutions can be the pathway to building more Humboldt Made businesses.
Are you a Humboldt County food producer who wants to help? Are you an institutional buyer who wants to purchase whole foods from local producers? Email firstname.lastname@example.com to join the conversation. Thanks to Eel River Organic Beef for sponsoring Taco Tuesday!

Armageddon is for Losers
You know why you should never use drugs? Because you never know when that nice middle-aged Jehovah's Witness couple might ring your doorbell to share 40 minutes of their beliefs with you.
There must be a secret mark on my door because some weeks I'll get two different sets of Jehovah's Witnesses stopping by. I have enough copies of the Watchtower to start going door-to-door myself.
Anyway, this was my favorite couple, who have been stopping by for a couple of years, usually as I'm late running out the door, on deadline or in the middle of a good Rockford Files. They seem such genuinely nice people that I do talk with them when there's time. I like that they're not selling frozen steaks or carpet shampoos and stand at the door and knock just out of concern for their fellow man's soul.
Theirs isn't a particularly hip religion. When I was growing up in Buena Park, the one Jehovah's Witness at school was dropped off every morning by his parents, so he wouldn't have to ride the bus and be among us sinful kids one minute more than he had to. This did not burnish his popularity, nor did it help that he was a very large kid whose role model was Gigantor, the Japanese cartoon robot. This kid would come at you, bellowing the catchy Gigantor theme (later so admirably covered by the Dickies), arms flailing, pummeling you about the shoulders and head. It really hurt, but he wasn't too bright, and I still feel bad about the morning I stopped him in mid-assault by pouring my orange juice down his shirt and saying, "Short circuit, Robot."

Gigantor and Jehovah's Witnesses were so inextricably linked in my young mind that part of me remains terrified that this nice older couple might one day suddenly start with the theme song and come at me with arms flailing. Which is still one more reason not to do drugs. In today's world, you need to be alert.
My first thought as I answered the door this time was of the T-shirt I had on, which my brother-in-law gave me, bless him, and which I wear only when the other 62 T-shirts are in the hamper because it's bright red and emblazoned with hearts and the words "Mr. Wonderful." So when I answered the door to find the two standing there, I wondered, "Can I move faster than light, so they wouldn't notice if I dashed down the hall and came back in another shirt?" No, I was caught.
It can't be fun for these two to go out knocking on the doors of people who aren't much interested in hearing about God's plan for them. But I suspect it's a relative cakewalk compared to doing it in Pakistan, where they'd spent several years as missionaries. One of the reasons I enjoy talking with them is they've had experiences that few other Americans have. They have a broader perspective on world events, and much of what they talk about is based on love. But once they really get going on scripture, my eyes glaze over, not that they weren't already on this particular day. Corinthians this, Macadamians that. And then they started in on the licentiousness today, the premarital sex, how homosexuality goes against chapter and verse and marriage is for the propagation of children.
"Wait a minute," interjected Mr. Wonderful. "That's where you and I disagree. When the Bible was written, it was essential to the tribe's survival to have many children and to foster an institution to raise them. If the Bible were written today, with overpopulation and resources running out, maybe it would be promoting relationships that don't produce children. Who knows?"
Well, they knew. It's in the Book! We chatted some more and parted unchanged, though they did leave a magazine with the cheerful headline "The Nuclear Threat. How Real is It?" accompanied by a photo of a heart-stoppingly beautiful atomic blast, a majestic blazing orange-yellow floret with concentric vanilla-orange waves radiating from it like the rings of Saturn. For all we know scientists put a lot of thought into aesthetics: "Okay, right before it liquefies their eyes, we'll give them the prettiest darn mushroom cloud they've ever seen!"
I could do without Armageddon myself. If the government is going to make anti-drug ads, they should also sponsor TV spots that say, "The Rapture is for Losers." What, you're saying humanity can't make a go of it on this beautiful planet, so you think you deserve to get siphoned up to the land of milk and honey? Not everybody, just you special ones who are so much more righteous than everyone else?
If I was God—and I have my days—I would be bored to tears with the lot of us. You know how the Bible says something about putting away your childish things and becoming a man? Maybe it's a clue that God was waiting for the day when humanity would get the hint, grow up and make its own decisions. How would you feel if your kids were still living at home after 12 million years, calling on you to bail them out all the time? Give the old guy a nice surprise, why don't you? Let him clock out and enjoy his golden years already.
The Bible was either written by men, who, like everyone else then, didn't know the Earth revolved around the sun, didn't know germs caused disease, etc., or else God was intentionally misleading us about the great truths of our universe, which to me suggests he was hoping that down the line we'd realize we're supposed to grow, use our God-given sense and say, "Hey, half the stuff in this book makes no Goddamn sense whatever, thank you. What say we just cherry-pick the good parts about loving our neighbor and such, and You can keep Armageddon?"
Instead, today you've got crazy scriptureheads leading armored crusades into the Holy Land, or trying to genetically engineer a red calf and otherwise doing their best to be the Hamburger Helper to the ground beef that is the End Times. Because of religion, you've got Washington going loopy over Janet Jackson's tits while not addressing global warming, the deficit and other challenges that may make your children's lives a hell on Earth. You've got new FCC fines and legislation to further curb freedom of speech. Locally, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before some self-righteous DA builds a case against the language in this paper, and I'll be out of a job while you'll have to go back to reading personals in the Pennysaver.
I'm interested in faith, but you could gather all the world's religions together and they'd mean less to me than a single ripe tomato. That's miracle and mystery enough. I've started attending an organic-gardening class a friend teaches in Huntington Beach, and it helps to re-instill my regard for mankind.
The author Victor Villasenor made a great argument that humanity was about to have 5,000 years of peace and cooperation because that's what we've just had. While men write history so it's full of war and empire-building, if grandmothers wrote it, you'd be reading about people helping one another, one fetching the water, another making the tortillas and another watching the children.
This class helps remind me of that kinder history because it is people who don't even know each other sharing the ways they grow things, trading knowledge and enthusiasm, and helping one another chase down the ladybugs escaping all over the room.
There are lots of little community-building, life-sharing opportunities such as that in our county, and they're a needed antidote to the feeling of resignation and impotence you get watching the news. In the garden, worm casings mean more than the bullshit in Washington. You connect with the world though its dirt. I am eating an organic tomato right now. Within a few hours, it will be part of me, our molecules mingled. Someday it will all be dirt again, which is fine, but I don't need any Rapture-ready fundamentalists hastening the day.

Population and Building Factors That Impact Residential Fire Rates in Large U.S. Cities
MetadataShow full metadata

The purpose of this explanatory research is to evaluate the impacts of population and building characteristics on the residential fire rates among large cities in the continental U.S. This study used existing aggregated data from 69 U.S cities in the continental U.S to explain the effect of population and building factors on cities' residential fire rates. Overall findings indicate that two building characteristics - vacancy rate and building age - significantly influence residential fire rates. None of the population and natural environment variables examined found to significantly impact residential fire rates. Therefore, during the economic downturn, fire prevention efforts should focus more on areas with high vacancy rates and old building structures.

CARSON CITY — Sue Lowden, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, has informed Gov. Brian Sandoval she does not want to be reappointed to the state Board of Medical Examiners when her term expires June 30.
The governor said Lowden told him last week she did not want another term on the board that regulates the conduct of doctors.
She was first appointed by former Gov. Jim Gibbons in December 2010 as the public representative on the board. She was reappointed by Sandoval.
The governor said Tuesday that no one has been selected yet to succeed Lowden.
Lowden is campaigning against Sen. Mark Hutchinson, who is backed by Sandoval.

With the seasons changing and getting a bit cooler, last weekend I was in the mood for some home-made pasta along with home-made sauce. Of course Mr. John was grinning from ear to ear when he heard this as it would be THE meal that would get 5+ stars in his eyes (and stomach!). While the sauce was cooking (more on that another day), I made the pasta. This is the way I was taught by my mom and her mom before that. Back in the day I remember my grandmother rolling the pasta into huge circles and letting it dry on sheets that were placed over the back of the couches and then even cutting the pasta by hand and was in amazement how she could do it so fast and not cut her fingers!
Let's get started!
|Make a well with 4 1/2 cups flour
|Add 6 eggs
|Add 1 eggshell of water
|Start by using a fork to start mixing
|Then the "fun" begins...really get into it!
|Eventually after kneading you end up with the dough intact, let it rest about 10 minutes
|Add some olive oil to your board (Mr. J made this for me)
|Knead until it becomes smooth
|Place in an oiled bowl, covered with saran wrap for about an hour
|My trusty pasta machine (a shower gift from my Maid of Honor)
|I love that I keep the card with it, makes me think of Mary Ann!
Time to make the pasta....
|Roll out one of the dough balls and cut into thirds
|Run through the pasta machine (by hand)
|The pasta machine has 6 settings and I run it through #1,3 and then 5
|I "dry" my pasta on a tablecloth
|About every 10 minutes, flip bottom to top until dough is still workable but not too sticky
|Run the sheets through the cutting side (if sheets are really long, cut in half first)
|Make "nests" and if not using right away, freeze on cookie sheet and then remove to plastic bag
...and here is the final product - cooked with some home-made sauce... come back soon for the Sauce posting! Mangia!
Here is my grandma "Nonni" at my house in the 1990's making the pasta. Funny but true story - when I was a kid I hated this pasta and she would always make me the "box" kind... what was I thinking!!
I found this picture on the internet and this is exactly how she cut the pasta before the machines came out! Then she used to shake it out to separate the strands... oh the memories of going to Nonni's house!

Just wondering if anyone is using an Iwata brush and what you think of it?
Return to Category Menu
I have tried every airbrush imaginable. I own a Badger, Paache, Aztec, Vega and a Iwata. My Iwata is the only brush that I can get the minute details for my fishwork. It is very cantankerous and the parts are very expensive, but the results are unmatched. I sure there will be some disagreement, but this is my opinion. Good Luck
I have an Iwata HP-C and an HP-B I like them both. You can get pretty good detail with both, but the HP-B can really do some fine detail work. However if you are like most of us and can only afford one I would recommend the HP-C. Things change but several years ago
Dennis Arp told me about Iwatas and I have been using them since. We all know what a beautiful paint job he does on fish. I use mine mostly for cast bird bills, but I do some fish also.
Just My opinion

Never let it be said that Prophetik's Jeff Garner doesn't know how to make an entrance. At the Vauxhall Fashion Scout runway at London Fashion Week on Saturday, Garner opened his show with an orchestra that featured acclaimed violinist Analiza Ching.
For Autumn/Winter 2011, Garner used 100-year-old quilts handed down from his great-grandmother Lola.
Led by music by award-winning British conductor and composer Benjamin Ellin, we found ourselves transported to the court of King Louis XV, a time in 18th century France when "art became frivolous, a slave to consumers, [and] diseased of romantic snobbery," Garner says. "The season exudes the freedom from the pretense of being what we would become, fleeing from egotism into the wonderment of an artist."
Prophetik's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is a family affair. In addition to naturally dyed, sustainable fabrics—including peace silk and a new kind of "cactus silk" made from the agave plant—Garner used 100-year-old quilts handed down from his great-grandmother Lola.

Good Doctor Episode 5
Good Doctor Episode 5 English Sub
Comments (101) ADD COMMENT
OMO, I think Prof Do Han is actually in love with Dr Cha.. but wonder why he ends up engaged with the other girl. I'm hoping that he is actually the brother that Dr Shi on thought had passed away. This drama seems to have many things to reveal in the next episodes. In this one, it shows that Shi On mother is still alive and working at the hospital's cafeteria.
Seriously, Korean don't believe the existence of Heaven?? Are they have no GOD? In my hospital, religion is the most important when talk to the patient.
3 years ago . Report .
PopaBut Religion is quickly dying off in todays cultures. (in developed nations that is).
lauretta16I think that religion is not a hospital thing. It's surely more something the doctor should or should not believe in depending on what he/she wants to believe in.
LazyNot really, many religions don't believe in the existence of a Heaven as Christians do, that said probably many doctors see so many people suffering that they refuse to believe in any kind of God as per se
meruJust because some, it doesn't whole Korean don't believe in it. Open your mind, sir. It just a drama anyway.
KISAKIWell most of koreans and japanese are agnostics so yeah the majority there don't believe in Heaven nor God, well too bad that developed nations's people think of the matter but always forget about spirituality

I can't help my self laughing while watching Park Si On (Joo Won) immitating the bear at the zoo with Doc Cha, that scared the children beside him. Hahaha! XD Job well done portraying as an autistic doctor. He's too cute to be like one. Ughhh ~ and I like the plot of the story very heart warming, to the point that you will cry, pity him and at the same time laugh sometimes. He's really a good actor. ;3 Together with Moon Chae Won.
lolXDIKR?! XD

The former Sandy quarterback performs well during teammate Kevin Boss's "Pro Day" workout
Western Oregon University quarterback Mark Thorson - the son of Sandy girls tennis coach Greg Thorson -threw to National Football League tight end prospect (and teammate) Kevin Boss at Western Oregon's NFL 'Pro Day' on Mar. 16 at Monmouth.
Boss - a fast-rising prospect in the 2007 NFL draft - impressed scouts at the McArthur Field workout while catching Thorson's passes.
Thorson reportedly impressed the scouts too but is not allowed to work out for professional scouts in an official capacity until 2008.

Yes? Yes? Yes? The Raw Review
by, 06-25-2012 at 11:10 PM (3178 Views)
What the hell WWE!?
Since John Cena took over CM Punk's role in the Johnny Ace feud some months ago, Raw has been getting noticeably dull. What's more is that tonight was, to the best of my knowledge, the one-year anniversary of CM Punk's game-changing shoot promo. I would have never imagined that one year after that promo Raw would end on an incredibly boring image of Big Show.
As you've probably gathered by now, I didn't enjoy tonight's episode of Raw. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad. I liked pretty much everything involving Punk, Daniel Bryan, Kane, and AJ (sometimes you have to give the cameramen credit – see: AJ on her hands and knees in the divas match). Other than these segments and a solid opening match, tonight's Raw was a complete throwaway.
AJ/Punk/Bryan/Kane getting a spotlight on Monday night
Tonight was surprising in that the already time-consuming AJ love orgy got not only the opening video package for Raw, but a decent Triple Threat Elimination match and several backstage segments throughout the night.
It is common knowledge that AJ is both hot and great at acting crazy, and whilst Kane has seemingly bowed out of the WWE title picture for the next month (due to his inclusion in the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder match in three weeks), it doesn't take away from the fact that AJ has an obsession with him (I think…). He is still pivotal to the way that this storyline pans out, and it helps both the WWE Championship and Money in the Bank Ladder match simultaneously (Kane could conceivably win his match and affect the WWE Championship match – provided it actually gets a main event slot for once).
Other than AJ's insanity and Kane's proclamation that she is too unstable for even him, Bryan and Punk have been given yet another opportunity to steal the show on pay-per-view - and once again, I'm looking forward to it. I don't need to support any claims that Punk and Bryan have put on the best matches of the year since we left WrestleMania, the proof is there for all to see.
My only disappointment with this storyline now is that there wasn't too much in the way of development tonight. It looks like it is coming to an end because of Punk telling AJ he wants to talk to her after the show, and Money in the Bank could be the culmination of this feud (especially with the rumours that we'll be getting a Cena versus Punk match at SummerSlam – again!). It looks to me like the end of this feud will be settled by who AJ chooses to align herself with at Money in the Bank, and it seems most likely to be Punk due to the leaked plans of Cena versus Punk (sometimes I really hate spoilers and the places they pop up – Facebook is the culprit this time).
Money in the Bank for Cena?
I didn't even venture a guess at what Cena's big announcement was tonight – I simply didn't care. Anybody can call me a Cena hater, but the truth is I genuinely believe his gimmick is stale and needs to be changed. I respect that he can entertain (he did a good job of getting me to crack a smile tonight with his Star Wars promo), but his target demographic is children and it pigeon-holes his chance at doing anything mildly surprising.
If you ask me WWE is scared to shock their younger fans and Cena's lack of character development in the past five years is proof of that. But anyway, onto Money in the Bank.
It turns out WWE is mixing up the purpose of the Money in the Bank Ladder match this year by having only former WWE Champions enter one of the two confirmed matches. Vickie Guerrero announced that Cena, Kane, Big Show, and the now unsuspended Chris Jericho will be the competitors in one of them, and it makes sense to me.
Whilst I like the concept of using Money in the Bank to put over younger talent, Johnny Ace's 'firing' has left Cena and Show with nowhere to go except for the WWE Championship. The suspension of Jericho meant that his potential rivalry with Randy Orton had to be held up and now Jericho is in need of something to do also. With Money in the Bank coming up, the options were limited as they cannot feasibly have Cena main event this PPV without the possibility of a championship match (two championship matches and two ladder matches makes four main event-calibre matches already), and nobody wants to see Cena versus Big Show in a one-on-one situation again (No Way Out was a joke!). My point is that whilst it defeats the object of the staple match, this could be a good. It flips the concept on its head and all four superstars are believable winners.
I'm not entirely sure if they plan on adding more men to this match though.
In other news…
Big Show was fed Brodus Clay – in the absence of Ryback to destroy a couple of jobbers tonight, the Funkasaurus was offered to Show in a poor attempt at getting the WWE Universe to take Brodus seriously. Also, can the cameramen please stop cutting back and forth between the match and Clay's groupies!? It serves no purpose.
United States Champion Santino Marella def. Jack Swagger – Since Swagger is now without the safety net of Dolph Ziggler to keep him partially relevant in WWE, it looks like he has gone back to his post-Cole days of jobbing to the likes of Santino. Whilst I like Santino and dislike Swagger, Santino should never win this match clean.
Sycho Sid def. Heath 'Promo Killer' Slater – The only good thing about this short match was Sid's music.
Contract on a pole match to determine the number one contender to Sheamus' World Heavyweight Championship ends in a no contest – Despite the Russo-like booking of this match, it was better than any other item on a pole match (mainly because it didn't end with anybody retrieving the contract). We got a Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship match on SmackDown from this, and I just hope Ziggler proves himself to the fans a little more before Sheamus inevitably wins the match.
AJ wins the Divas Beach Battle Royal – Predictable from the outset, but we got a nice view of AJ throughout the final moments, so I'm not gonna complain - although Vickie should have kept her unfit-for-TV derriere out of that match.
John Cena def. Chris Jericho via DQ – I was hoping for a decent match from these two, as I know they have had good chemistry in the past. Unfortunately Big Show interfered in the most boring and predictable way possible and ruined what could have been a good end to a mediocre Monday Night Raw.
This week's Raw was mainly a negative in my eyes, but I have stayed up until 5am to blog on it so it must have had a good point or two.
Quite simply, the high point of tonight was the opening match, and anything which involved the WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank after that. Other than that, it was a sloppy effort from the writers and we got one decent match from two hours of programming.
If WWE are trying to lower expectations going into the usually successful Money in the Bank PPV, it's working on this fan.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you read next week when I hopefully have more positive things to say.

Colin Ferrell offered the lead role in TOTAL RECALL Remake
Hey gang! I just wanted to give you a quick update on this Total Recall remake being developed by director Len Wiseman.
Last month it was reported that Colin Ferrell was at the top of the list to take on the lead role in the remake. Today it's being reported today Ferrell was recently offered the lead role in the film and he's currently in negotiations with the studio to join the project.
Ferrell is no Schwarzenegger, but Ferrell is a solid actor, and I'm sure he'll give the character an interesting new spin.
As previously, Philip K. Dick's story, We Can Remember It for You Wholesale will once again be the basis of this film. The story is about a man with recurring dreams of traveling to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. Something goes terribly wrong with the implant and he believes he is a secret agent fighting to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air. It's not known how Kurt Wimmer's script deals with Dick's favorite topic of reality vs. delusion, with audiences having to make up their own minds if the movie was a dream.
Colin Farrell is finishing of his next film, By Virtue Fall, in January so that might make him the best candidate to take on the lead. Until recently, Farrell has acted in more indie fare. His just wrapped roles in the Fright Night 3D and Horrible Bosses are his first stab at bigger budget fare since Alexander.
What do you all think about Ferrell taking on the lead character in this new Total Recall movie?

A statement from the Turkish Prime Minister's office said it was in response to a "mortar strike across the border". Nato ambassadors are to meet later tonight after Turkey protested angrily to the organisation and to the United Nations The mortar exploded in a residential area of the border town of Akcakale. It was fired from from Tall al Abyad just across the border in Syria. Abdulhakim Ayhan, the mayor of Akcakale, said: "Five people, including a mother and her three children, were killed. We also have nine wounded." Read more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I wrote this for Peter in Word and printed it in newspaper format to give him. I just copy and pasted it to the blog which is why it is not formatted in the original way and some of the photos are a little blurry.)
Local Man prepares for the ultimate day of celebration
This Sunday, June 17, 2012, in a rare occurrence, an Irondequoit man will have his birthday occur on the same day as Father's Day. Peter Gavenda will turn 26 years old on the same day as men around the country are celebrated for their fatherhood. In an effort to understand more about the man who can manage to juggle two exciting celebrations in just one day we met with his family who include wife Emily, 3 year old daughter Hayleigh and one year old son Braxton.
Hayleigh began the interview by clarifying that her father is in fact, Daddy. Her favorite things to do with Daddy are play outside, get "flown" up in the sky and ride on his shoulders.
Daddy's eyes are blue, his favorite foods are cheerios and chicken, his favorite color is green and his favorite team is softball. He is special because she can give him hugs. Hayleigh then demonstrated by giving a rather aggressive, choke-hold-esque hug to the interviewer. Needless to say any man who can withstand hugs of this nature must be extremely strong. Hayleigh also mentioned that her Daddy's favorite thing to wear is clothes, but he sometimes takes his shirt off. When asked why he does this she replied "because he does. He takes his shirt off for the picture". This was such a hysterical thought for Hayleigh that she needed to take a break from the interview because she was overcome with giggles.
Braxton refused to comment except to say "Daddy" repeatedly and lay his head on our camera while making kissing sounds.
Peter was not present for the interviews because he was at work, trying hard to provide for his growing family. The Gavenda family will welcome one more addition this November, although by the looks of Emily it seems she could be due much sooner.
When asked how she was preparing for the duel celebration, Emily replied that while making one day doubly special is a very daunting task she was up for the challenge. To begin she is making a special cake that Peter has never had before. Usually he chooses a "funfetti" cake but this year he has shown that he is capable of growth and change and has selected an Orange Sherbet and Angel food cake.
This will be the eleventh of Peter's birthdays that they have celebrated together. She mentioned she is proud of the person that he has become over those past eleven years. She had only dreamed of them having a life this full of love and happiness and can't wait to see what else is in store in the years to come.
Hayleigh agreed that they should make cake and also suggested making a birthday card and a flower for Daddy for his birthday. She specified that the flower should be pink and added that her Daddy would also like cupcakes. Braxton was not available for comment as he was upstairs napping.
Our interviews have yielded some very interesting information to be sure. For one thing, this man seems to really like cake. Secondly, he has a family that really loves and respects him. He must be a very special man.
We wish him the happiest of days and hope it is full of relaxation, grilled meat, Genny Cream Ale, laughter, family, old stories, high fives from drool covered hands, neck hugs, Kanye West and Weezer, debates about the Chicago Bulls or Yankees, mesh shorts, Dunkin Donuts coffee, trips to Amans and Balsam Bagels, Carmelo candy bars, long range three pointers, retro Jordans, Sticky Lips BBQ, morning coffee and quiet time, comparing chest hair with other mid-twenties friends, vacation days from work, Indiana Hoosiers beating Duke, retro Jimmy G's pizza, The Office before Steve Carrel left, Slurpies, Sportscenter, date nights, lots of sales, small group, old friends in town, summer evening walks, Will Ferrell movies, bedtime stories, maybe a game of catch and of course cake.

Brits, Kim K and Jen Aniston Go Crazy Over New "Alternative to Botox"
Princess 19 on 24 May 2011 at 3:00pm
Let's be honest. We all want to look younger. If we could find the "fountain of youth" or "miracle cream," we'd try it, as long as it didn't cause death. Apparently, thousands of British women have found such a thing - and US celebs are soaking the product up.
The buzz is about the Nip + Fab Frown Fix, a line-filler pen. Nip + Fab claims the cream is clinically proven to reduce lines and wrinkles by up to 50%. What is the miracle ingredient? A substance called Grant X, a natural alternative to Botox. This American-made formula created by New Jersey's Grant Industries was originally slated as a wrinkle filler like Juvederm. But apparently, users found that the product had a lasting corrective effect when used over time. Miracle, indeed, so they say. At the very least, it is more affordable than the Juvederm average cost of $800. Frown Fix sells for $16.55 per pen.
The product recently launched in the UK and thousands of women (and bribed men) stood in line to get their hands on the "miracle cream." The Daily Mail spoke to a few of the eager customers outside Boots who eagerly wanted to believe the positive claims they have heard and read.
"I'd seen the reviews online and in the newspapers and knew it was one I had to try," said Sarah from London. "It seems like everybody wants to get their hands on some."
Fellow Londoner Ben Thompson stood in the line amongst the throngs of women. Clearly, he should have brought one of his single male friends to keep him company. "I've been sent to the store to pick up this product for my wife and a couple of her friends, " said Ben, a truly brave fellow.
Nip + Fab counts celeb clientele like Sienna Miller, Jennifer Aniston, and Kim Kardashian as enthusiastic users for their line. Kim K. as future celeb spokesperson? It may happen...
Have you tried this product? Does it seem worth the wait list, or another product for the product graveyard under the sink?

Woman charged in 6-year-old's death unfit to stand trial
BEMIDJI -- The woman charged with manslaughter in her 6-year-old cousin's death has been found incompetent to stand trial.
Rachel Stacey Downer, 22, of Bemidji was charged with second-degree manslaughter in March after her cousin, Mercedes Mayfield, was discovered dead from hypothermia outside a south Bemidji apartment complex Feb. 27. Mayfield was in Downer's care the night before she died.
Beltrami County Attorney Tim Faver said Downer's case has been suspended at this time. The court ruled Downer incompetent based on a court-appointed examiner's report. Examiners are usually local psychologists, Faver explained.
The court was awaiting the report at a June hearing. The prosecution or defense has 10 days from the time a report is received to challenge the findings. The report was distributed July 29. Faver said the findings will not be challenged.
"If the court finds a person not competent, law requires (the) court to institute civil commitment proceedings to restore a person to capacity," Faver said. "We don't convict people who are not competent."
If the court is successful in having Downer committed, her case will be resumed when she has completed treatment. Downer's next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

A chilling artifact from the Civil War is a lead bullet with teeth marks in it. It was put between a wounded trooper's teeth when a doctor amputated his leg. Except for a few shots of whiskey, anesthesia didn't exist in battlefield hospitals. Hence the term "bite the bullet." Soldiers had no other recourse.
I've never known such pain. But any pain makes me uncomfortable, which is why — even with my mouth opened wide — I grimace anytime I am under the bright lamp in the chair at my dentist's office. He's skilled at navigating my mouth. But nerve endings are just that, and there sure are a lot of them ending in my teeth and gums. Ouch.
Of late, I've been in the chair every couple of weeks. Age and an overbite have taken a toll on my dental well-being. Thank goodness for Novocain or whatever he uses these days to deaden the landscape in my mouth. He never hurts me.
But after a tooth with a bifurcated root refused to budge for 2 1/2 hours, until the dentist finally extracted it in pieces, I decided enough was enough. Though I had no pain, the discomfort of the process twisted me into knots, as in "I'm not going through that ever again." So when it was time to pull out another bad tooth the other day, I chose nitrous oxide. It's known as "laughing gas." Instead, it made me cry.
I never had breathed it before. In the rush of the next few moments, I was overwhelmed, swept up in an avalanche of fear. What was happening to me? Was I dying? The noises in the room filled my ears with sonic textures I could almost feel. I fixated on a spot on the wall, as if it had a profound meaning I had to know. All at once, I was flying and tumbling. I cried.
"Don't worry. You're just fine. It's OK." From somewhere far away, somehow the dentist's words met my jumbled brain. Just as suddenly, my red-tinged fear turned to the cooler hues of the rainbow; orange was orange, like a sunset. Wonderment was bright yellow turned to gentle green; peace and contentment the bluest of blues. I breathed deep, deeper and asked, "What happened?" I asked even though I couldn't have cared less. I just wanted him to keep that gas coming.
"You felt the loss of control," he said. "You didn't like it."
Then he pulled the tooth. "Sixty percent," he instructed his assistant, and right away I knew that meant something less than the amount of nitrous oxide that had propelled me to places I hadn't been in 18-plus years. It seemed as if the trip was over almost before it began. Darn. I wasn't ready to come back to my earth.
Afterward, I sat in my car in the parking lot, trying to figure out what had just happened. I don't think most people find that getting nitrous oxide is akin to running into a burning bush on a faraway mountainside as Moses did. Then again, they aren't bummed out when the time comes to turn off the gas and go home.
That's why addicts are so different. We use drugs exactly to find a release from whatever bonds us to reality. When we're down, we get high to pick us up off the floor the same way we use substances to push the apex a bit further when the moment is good but not good enough. For either reason or both, we only get beyond where we are to where we thirst to go by losing control of what our minds and our bodies tell us is the truth. Yep. Substances are that potent.
But my tears explain what happens when we've been clean and sober for a while. We take a stout liking to the recovery zone we're in, that finely balanced place where we do have some control over how we feel and act. Yes, we're powerless over alcohol and other drugs. And life always throws stuff our way that we cannot control. But we have a heck of a lot of influence (I'll go so far as to call it control) over how we deal with all of that stuff — as long as we stay connected, work a program of recovery and always greet the day the same way we close it, with humility and gratitude that we are very fortunate people.
Even in the dentist's chair, it is scary to go back to the way I used to be. The short hiatus reminded me I'm always an addict. That's OK, as long as I am an addict in recovery.
