Kashrut Instructions
DESCRIPTION: Fresh Chives, basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing.
Please Note: Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
INFESTATION: Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs it should not be used.
- Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated unscented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, care must be taken to thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
- Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
- Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
- Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
- If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
- If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.
Please note: To prepare herbs such as cilantro, dill, or parsley for use in soups, wash them thoroughly and place in a cooking bag.

Theatre posters I art directed for New York University Undergraduate Theatre Department. Done on a budget that only covered printing costs, I was did my own photography and illustration (or in rare cases, used illustration appearing in the production with permission from artist). Every design required close reading of the play (or musical) and collaboration with the director with an aim to capture the essence of each production through the poster graphics.
Below is the pamphlet cover designed for "hotINK" event. An offshoot of the poster design above.

'Bad Boy' karaoke earns cop pink slip
Only in Palisade.
Here, the unusual confluence of karaoke and police work has become talk of the town and stirred civic involvement.
Mark Bartholomew, a doorman at The Livery Saloon, said petitions calling on the Palisade Police Department to reinstate Officer Edward Reinhardt are still circulating with about 70 signatures to date. Petitions are to be presented at a to-be-determined meeting of the town board, he said.
Reinhardt was fired by the Police Department in the aftermath of an incident May 23 at The Livery, when he took to the microphone and performed a karaoke song. Witnesses interviewed by the Daily Sentinel said Reinhardt sang an impromptu, and well-received, rendition of "Bad Boys," the theme song for the television show, "Cops."
Reinhardt declined to be interviewed for this story, citing advice of his attorney.
Others who witnessed the events of May 23 — a well-attended night of karaoke at The Livery — said they won't forget it anytime soon and they're dumbfounded it cost Reinhardt his job.
"He took a couple minutes to show himself to be a human being instead of a robot with a badge and gun," Bartholomew said. "I've never heard applause like that in all the years we've been doing this."
Running 9 p.m. to midnight Fridays, karaoke night commonly brings officers to the bar to perform a "walk through," a simple show of force.
Karaoke Cop from The Daily Sentinel on Vimeo.
"It settles things down and serves its purpose," Bartholomew said.
Around 11 p.m. on May 23, Reinhardt and a second officer made their way through the bar as several patrons offered encouragement to try their hand at karaoke. When his partner left out the front door, Reinhardt took the microphone.
Witnesses said while singing, the officer took out his handcuffs and gestured a playful warning for the "Bad Boys."
"I'll tell you, everybody went crazy," said Anna Reynolds, "It was such good public relations. I was shocked to hear he'd get fired over something like that."
From the perspective of the bar witnesses, nothing in Reinhardt's performance could have been painted as inappropriate or disrespectful.
"It's not like he was twirling his shirt over his head," Bartholomew said. Later that night, Reinhardt's partner and Palisade Police Chief Tony Erickson returned and demanded surveillance video from the bar.
Reinhardt, a certified officer in Colorado since 1989, was told to turn in his badge and gun that same night. He was hired April 1 as a seasonal employee from the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office.
Erickson said he couldn't discuss a personnel matter in detail, but defended the firing.
"I wish Ed well," he said. "This is not part of the job I enjoy but it was something that needed to be done."
While Bartholomew and others say Reinhardt's song was positive public relations work for the police department, Erickson isn't sold.
"My definition of community relations is on another level," Erickson said. "And my expectations for performance and professionalism in rebuilding this agency are very high."
Reynolds and company have their own expectations for small town policing.
"Everybody loved it," she said of Reinhardt's song. "Especially in a small town, you get to know your police officers."

You're So Self-Controlling
The New York Times:
WHAT do you do if, when you get to a subway platform, you see that it is already packed with people? Do you join the throngs to wait for the train, or do you shake your head and seek an alternative way to get where you're going?
If you go the first route, you probably think that the crowd means there must not have been a train for some time and that one is imminent. If you choose the second, you've come to the opposite conclusion: It's crowded, a train hasn't come in a while, so it's likely there's some sort of problem — and who knows how long you'll end up waiting. Better cut your losses and split.
When we think of self-control, we don't normally see it in these terms — a reasoned decision to wait or not. In fact, the ability to delay gratification has traditionally been seen in large part as an issue of willpower: Do you have what it takes to wait it out, to choose a later — and, presumably, better — reward over an immediate, though not quite as good one? Can you forgo a brownie in service of the larger reward of losing weight, give up ready cash in favor of a later investment payoff? The immediate option is hot; you can taste it, smell it, feel it. The long-term choice is far cooler; it's hard to picture it with quite as much color or power.

Toyota's Olivier Panis looks back over the Japanese Grand Prix, his last Formula One race Q: How did it feel approaching your final Grand Prix? Olivier Panis commemorates final Grand Prix with Akihiko Saito, Jarno Trulli and Toyota ...
Toyota's Olivier Panis looks back over the Japanese Grand Prix, his last Formula One race
Q: How did it feel approaching your final Grand Prix?
Olivier Panis: The Japanese Grand Prix was my 158th and final F1 race. It was a strange feeling in one way to finish my racing career, but I am staying with Panasonic Toyota Racing in a different role, so I certainly have not written the last word of the final chapter. Once the decision to stop racing is made, there is no turning back, and making it at the right time, which I feel that I have done, is what so many people find difficult.
Q: How did you prepare for Suzuka?
OP: After the Chinese Grand Prix, I went to Singapore for a couple of days training and then headed for Tokyo where we had quite a busy schedule ahead of the grand prix weekend. In fact, it was a very special weekend in many ways because it was not only Toyota's home grand prix, but also the team's 50th race. Additionally, as I took part in my last grand prix, we were lucky to be able to bring my friend Jarno Trulli into the race team earlier than planned. Jarno racing in Japan and Brazil will prove very useful for preparing next season and gives the whole team a positive time advantage.
Q: What did you get up to in Tokyo?
OP: As a prelude to the race, we travelled to Tokyo to carry out a short demonstration of the TF104 on the streets outside MegaWeb, which is the biggest Toyota showroom in the world. The rain was pouring down but those fans who braved it really seemed to have a good time. Jarno also joined us for a public Q+A session and some autograph signing before we moved on to Toyota's headquarters, where we did some filming and a press conference for the Japanese media.
Q: Moving to the Grand Prix, how badly did the rain affect the weekend?
OP: The heavy rain in Suzuka really affected our Friday practice sessions. Jarno did quite a few laps because he had never driven our TF104B car in the wet before, but I decided that there was little point. I did a couple of installation laps to check-out the calibration of the clutch and launch systems but then I remained in the pits. Even with the extreme wet weather tyres there was quite a big danger of aquaplaning. Suzuka has quite a lot of gradients involved and you get small rivers forming at various parts of the circuit. On top of that we expected different weather for the race and so anything that we learned was going to be of limited value.
Q: What did you think of the decision to abandon Saturday because of the typhoon fears?
OP: I think the FIA took the responsible action to abandon Saturday's activities because of the approaching typhoon. The decision really had to be taken on the Friday so that spectators at the track who were due to return on Saturday could be told to stay away. And, at the time, the weather forecast indicated was that Typhoon Ma-on was directly on course for Suzuka. Judging by some of then devastation I saw in the TV pictures from Tokyo, you can't take chances with nature!
Q: So your first timed lap was actually your pre-qualifying run?
OP: In the end, my first timed lap of the weekend was when I posted the fifth fastest time in pre-qualifying. I know the car and I know my way around Suzuka, so it wasn't a problem and both Jarno and I were able to qualify in the top 10 for the race.
Q: What happened in the race?
OP: We took a gamble on tyres because we weren't sure what the degradation was going to be like. Jarno went for the hard tyres and I took the soft, but I was only able to manage one quick lap and then the tyres would drop off quite a lot. There was a lot of graining and the car's rear end became very nervous, so it was a very difficult race. Due to the conditions on Friday, we could not evaluate the Michelin tyres as we normally do. It is not a reflection on Michelin's performance, but just on the circumstances we had in Suzuka.
Q: How do you rate the team's performance in Japan?
OP: I think as a team we did our best during a difficult race weekend, but we didn't have a car good enough to fight for points, so it's up to all of us to work very hard this winter to improve the situation for next season.
Q: Did Suzuka prove that two-day races are feasible in the future?
OP: The question that everybody was asking on Sunday was whether it is possible to have a two-day race weekend. We proved in Suzuka that it is certainly feasible, as everyone managed to do the job on Sunday. I certainly didn't find the solution ridiculous, although teams lose media coverage from qualifying and it gives teams an additional pressure. Of course, Suzuka was an exceptional situation because of the limited running on Friday. If two day weekends were to take place, we would need to ensure we had sufficient running prior to the qualifying session.
Q: Comparing it with a normal weekend, how did you get your work done?
OP: In Suzuka, we did a lot of work with the engineers based on the data from last year, as we hadn't done a single lap in the dry, and that was the main problem. If there's one free practice on Saturday then it's perfectly OK to do a two-day weekend.
Q: What were your impressions of your final race?
OP: All I can say about my final F1 race is that I am very happy it was in Japan, in front of so many passionate Toyota supporters. I would just like to say thank you to the Japanese fans and now the challenge will continue. As third driver, I will be able to carry on the hard work I have put in with the team over the last two years and help Panasonic Toyota Racing to improve for the future. I wish I could have gone out with a stronger race, but it was not to be and 14th was the best I could do. After working 11 years in F1 I have to say that I have been lucky to have been given the opportunity to fulfil my passion from childhood and now I have a great challenge in front of me and more time to spend with my family.
Q: Did a lot of people come to see you in Suzuka?
OP: All the team principals came to wish me well and Toyota gifted me my race car from Suzuka, which was a fantastic gesture. I think everyone is happy with the work I've done. In the GPDA meeting everyone was very nice, and even Michael Schumacher said he'd miss me. But all good things must come to an end one day...

It's too bad we have to have fancy rigs with new trucks these days just to sleep overnight in the woods. Here's a little camper that I ran across on eBay. I bought the plans from there... what a fine fishing rig for an old country boy like me.

Sebastian Vettel could become the first driver in seven years to win five races in a row if he wins in China.
He's in the perfect position to following a comfortable run to pole position.
Meanwhile for the second race in a row team mate Mark Webber finds himself needing to limit the damage.
The start
It's a short run to the first corner at Shanghai – 260 metres, just 60 more than Melbourne – and when the drivers get there there isn't a lot of braking to do.
As a result is it's very rare for anyone other than the pole sitter to be leading at the end of lap one. Yes, Fernando Alonso leapt into the lead from the third on the grid last year – but that was only because he jumped the start.
But Sebastian Vettel will still have to fight off a pair of McLarens who are unlikely to have to worry about any fast-starting Renaults this time – unless Vitaly Petrov pulls off something really special from the fifth row.
Nico Rosberg started poorly in Sepang, losing four places. Ferrari showed the race pace to challenge McLaren there, but their opportunity to use it here will be limited if they can't pass Rosberg at the start.
Similarly, Petrov needs a good getaway to clear the likes of Paul di Resta and the Toro Rossos. They're likely to be slower than him in the race and he needs to take the fight to the Ferraris.
Lewis Hamilton had one eye on avoiding a repeat of his Sepang problems in qualifying.
He only used one set of new soft tyres in Q3, saving himself one more fresh set for the race than his team mate or Vettel have.
The fall in temperatures from Friday to Saturday has allowed the teams to eke out more life from their tyres. Conditions on Sunday look to be similar to Saturday, perhaps a few degrees warmer.
Strategies look more likely to follow Melbourne lines with most teams needing two stops, some making three and others – most likely the Saubers – trying to get away with just one.
The top nine drivers will all start on the soft tyres they qualified on. Tenth-placed Petrov, who did not set a time in Q3, will have a free choice of which compound he uses, as will everyone else behind him.
Then there is the question of Mark Webber, mired down in 18th. He showed in Malaysia that he can make up places even when deprived of KERS, but he will need some help from strategy to get him into the higher reaches of the top ten.
Unfortunately for him Webber has tended to need one pit stop more than his team mate. Jockeying for position in the thick of the midfield is not going to help his tyre life, nor offer him the space he needs to gain the benefit of running shorter stints and making an extra stop.
He should at least have DRS to help him out – though it may not prove as useful as he was counting on.
In the press conference Jenson Button indicated the DRS zone has been shortened from its previous length of 902m:
"The line has changed. When I woke up this morning and got in, I noticed that the DRS position has changed on the circuit. It was 900-odd meters, now it?������s 750 before the last corner. 752 meters."
The FIA have not confirmed this is the case and the graphic on their site still indicates it's 902 metres. Any further updates on this will be posted here or on F1 Fanatic Live during the race.
It wouldn't be a great surprise if the FIA have shortened the zone, as it was set to be similar in length to the one in Sepang, which we saw made overtaking quite easy.
Over to you
Do you think anyone can beat Vettel in tomorrow's race? And where will Webber finish from 18th on the grid?
Have your say in the comments.

Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IOT), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. IOT announced today that the Company reported net income of $1.0 million or $0.24 per diluted earnings per share for the period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million or $0.36 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2011. Land held for development or sale is the Company's sole operating segment. There was no income generated from this segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012, nor for the prior period ended June 30, 2011. IOT's primary source of revenue is from the interest income on $27.1 million of notes receivable due from affiliated and/or related parties. Interest income was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This represents an increase of $1.0 million as compared to the prior period interest income of $0.7 million. The increase was related to the note receivables from Unified Housing Foundation Inc., an affiliated entity. Prior to January 1, 2012, on cash flow notes where payments are based upon surplus cash from operations, accrued but unpaid interest income was only recognized to the extent that cash was received. As of January 1, 2012, due to the consistency of cash received on the surplus cash notes, we are recording interest as earned. Property operating expenses were $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This represents an increase of $11,000, as compared to the prior period operating expenses of $3,000. There was an increase in the land portfolio of $14,000 and a decrease in the other portfolio of $3,000. The increase in the land portfolio was due to an increase in POA fees billed for first quarter and the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in the other portfolio was due to a decrease in miscellaneous operating expenses.

|Ipswich Oatmeal Stout
|Ipswich S.I.P.A.
yobdoog (94) Kingston, New York | February 18, 2008
I spent a weekend in this nice little town. Fresh donuts in the morning, even at like 3am you can get coffee and a donut. The brewery is a huge warehouse. We went for the harvest festival and had a good time. For us at the time is was great to know one of the brewery managers and got a bunch of things to eat for almost free. The food prived by some seafood place was pretty good and we had great weather. Not the biggest fan of the hops in most of the brews but they did have a pumpkin stout and some contract stuff that was pretty good. Well we got to drink the contract stuff. Very friendly people and staff and the live music was great. The harvest on cask was also pretty good. Thanks Carla.
ClarkVV (103) Boston, Massachusetts | February 22, 2006
Stopped by to see if I could get any of the pre-pro lager. Unfortunately, they didnt have any left at the brewery, but everyone on the small brew team was extremely friendly and chatted with me about beer for a while, invited me in to take a look and have a few drinks. They also told me every place on the North shore and in Boston that I could find the Best Bitter and Pre-pro. The brewery itself is just that, a brewery. No tasting room or bar or anything, but they do give ad-hoc tours and fill growlers. Not real easy to find either, so it wouldnt be a place to come and see unless you live fairly close. The actual brewery is in a large warehouse amidst a bunch of fishing and shipping warehouses and a fish market.

Hello all!
As the title says, I'm wondering what sight systems you all use on your p-series Sigs? Do you stick with the Sig sights, or venture out and try a different sight system? The reason I ask is this... It seems that with my sig sights ( Sig night sights on my p220 carry and Sig combat night sights on my p229 elite) I need to completely cover my target with the front sight post to hit center. With all of my other handguns (non Sigs), hitting center is achieved by lining up the tops of the front and rear sights. Are there sights or sight combinations out there that will change my Sigs' sight picture to what I'm more used to?

Factory installed quick target acquisition sight on my German manufactured P226r. Great for competition and self-defense.
I personally prefer the Sig's sight picture, seems most natural for me. I'm sure you could find out the factory sight's height and look around for a different height to get the sight picture you want. Good luck.
I like the OEM sights too...
Being they are combat sights you usually don't float a target with them. And I like it that way.

Here is the sight picture on my HK
I'm pretty adaptable so it's not too much of a problem to adjust to the sights. I normally only take aim for my first few shots of the day and then instinctively shoot the remainder. But if I could get all of my platforms on the same page when it comes to a general sight picture, that's one less adjustment I'd have to make when it comes to transitioning from one platform to the next. I currently own 1911s, M&Ps, Glocks and now Sigs. All very different platforms with different sight pictures, trigger systems and all around ergonomics. If I can narrow down or eliminate some of those differences and tailor them to fit me, I think I'd be better off in the long run.
I have the SIGLite sights my P229. Works for me.

I've become attached to the TruGlo TFO sights on my Sigs. Here's a pic of my P-6. My 66 year old eyes LOVE the front sight. :)

Fairfax Connector Route and Schedule Changes
Fairfax County Office of
Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Sept. 26, 2006
Fairfax Connector Route and Schedule Changes Effective Oct. 1
Fairfax Connector bus service in north Fairfax County will implement route and schedule changes effective Oct. 1. The routes affected are as follows:
Route 504: This route will be discontinued. Route 574 is an alternative to Route 504. Information on other options is available by calling the Fairfax Connector Information Center at 703-339-7200, TTY 703-339-1608, or visiting the news section of the Web site www.fairfaxconnector.com.
Route 574: Routing and scheduling within Reston are changed. There will be additional weekday trips and weekend service. At the Reston Town Center Transit Station, Route 574 will be in Bay J instead of K.
Route 929: Routing and scheduling within Franklin Farm and Chantilly Highlands are changed so that buses operate the route in the same direction in the mornings and afternoons. This change anticipates the effect that construction of a median on Centreville Road south of McLearen Road will have on the current routing.
Route 989: The route is split into two new routes numbered 595 and 597 with new schedules for each. Route 595 will serve the Pentagon and Route 597 will serve Crystal City. At the Reston East Park-and-Ride, 595 will be in Bay E and 597 in Bay D. Route 595 will still use Bay L at the Pentagon. Maps, schedules and other information on the new routes can be found at www.fairfaxconnector.com under "Service Highlights."
These changes are designed to maximize the effectiveness of existing resources by moving buses from routes with low ridership to routes that are at full capacity, to alleviate "standing room only" conditions and to provide more efficient service. New bus timetables are available on board buses, at Connector Stores, at www.fairfaxconnector.com or by calling the Information Center at 703-339-7200, TTY 703-339-1608.
For more information about this news item, contact Jim Carrell in the Fairfax County Department of Transportation at 703-324-1175, TTY 703-324-1102.

text: Ed Macauley, one of the NBA's first big stars who won a championship with the St. Louis Hawks and was traded by the Boston Celtics for Bill Russell, has died. He was 83. Saint Louis University announced Macauley's death on Tuesday. The school had no other details. "Easy Ed" was a standout player with the Billikens, leading them to the 1948 NIT title. Macauley was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 1960. A native of St. Louis, he was a territorial pick of that city's Basketball Association of America franchise, the Bombers. He played there for one season and then was selected by the Celtics in a 1950 dispersal draft. Macauley played for the Celtics from the 1950-51 season until 1955-56. He and the draft rights to future Hall of Famer Cliff Hagan were traded by Boston to the St. Louis Hawks on April 29, 1956, for the rights to Russell, a move that changed the power structure of the NBA. The Celtics went on to win 11 titles with Russell dominating in the paint. Read more: http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/7210886/hall-famer-easy-ed-macauley-dies-83

Rob Hadaway has four days remaining on the first part of his life's new journey before he shifts into a gear he's never experienced.
Hadaway, a veteran assistant coach, with a speciality in defensive backs who's been active on the community college level since 1987, is the new head football coach at Chaffey College. It's quite a change for the school and Hadaway as Carl Beach held the position for the last 17 years and posted a 118-56 record. Hadaway served as Beach's defensive coordinator for 16 seasons.
Hadaway has four days left in the summer session, with workouts, before hitting a dead period. Chaffey will open for classes on Aug. 14 and the football team will start practice in helmets and shorts the following day. The first practice in full gear is set for
Aug. 17.
When Beach opted to retire from coaching following the 2012 campaign, Chaffey officials promoted Hadaway rather than conduct a full search. However, it should be noted Beach and Hadaway had discussed the situation prior to the official announcement and Hadaway had met with school officials to discuss his needs and goals as head coach.
Chaffey once was among the elite of the community college teams in Southern California. Ten years ago, the Panthers advanced to the regional championship two consecutive years, against Palomar (2001) and College of the Canyons (2002), after going 10-0 during the regular season.
What made the first six years of Beach's tenure (54-12) so impressive was Chaffey played primarily with local players. Top area teams were loaded with out-of-state performers, but the Panthers consisted of players who lived within 30 miles of the Rancho Cucamonga campus.
The Panthers have struggled in recent years and virtually hit bottom last year when they went 2-8. In fact, of Beach's 56 losses at Chaffey, nearly half occurred in the last four years. Such a drop was the direct result of internal dickering and struggles within the athletic department, loss of focus and fire and a lack of assistants on campus.
Not exactly ideal conditions to walk into.
Before taking the job last December Hadaway and then-athletic dean Dr. Eric Bishop created plans that will allow assistants to work on campus beginning in 2014, if not this season. Hadaway sought assurance for the needed help to restore the program before he agreed to take the position.
He based his plans on his experience with Beach, who brought Hadaway with him from San Bernardino Valley College in 1998 for the '99 season. Hadaway and Beach have an unusual relationship; Beach started coaching Hadaway as a sophomore at Bloomington High School and later coached with him under Ron Smedley at San Bernardino Valley College before their Chaffey stop.
During the highly successful years under Beach, there were as many as four staffers teaching at the two-year school. In addition to Beach, who received an unprecedented coaching contract from then-athletic director Bob Olivera, the offensive and defensive co-ordinators (Hadaway on defense) and one assistant also taught classes at Chaffey.
Regardless of the future plan, Hadaway is faced with a big challenge for the season that begins Sept. 14 at Santa Monica CC. His first battle, not surprisingly, is recruiting. The past years have created a reputation the Panthers will have to overcome. As a consequence, Hadaway has been working on repairing the image with contacts among head high school coaches in the area.
With coaching mentors such as Smedley, Bill Dutton and Beach, Hadaway understands the importance of local players in a program. He won't take the easy way out by looking elsewhere
The 48-year-old Hadaway, who resides in Wrightwood, always had envisioned being a head coach, but at the four-year level. He's had opportunities to assist at that level, but his commitment to his family have come first. In addition to being a full-time coach and physical education instructor, Hadaway also is a full-time husband and father of two.
He wants to make Chaffey a first option for players, not the last, as is the case by many who may have personal evaluations not grounded in reality. It also starts the secondary educational process for some and repairs the high school resumes for others. Either way, Hadaway has the staff to support a player.
Records are important, but aiding players is the bigger picture. It's also a vision Hadaway always embraced.

Tommy's sandy workspace while deployed in Iraq ^^
Name: Tommy Eastwoo
Age: 26
Country of residence: USA/ middle east
Main machine spec and OS: iMac intel Core 2 Duo
Job title/ Currently studying: U.S. Army Soldier/ web design, Japanese
Web: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=669128699
Any messages: Currently I'm deployed to Iraq for the 2nd time. I've always been interested in Japan and DC's site is a inspiration that keeps me motivated here. While here, I've been teaching myself Japanese, HTML and photoshop. This deployment has made me realize what I want to do for the rest of my life and that is web design and just be happy in Japan, doing what I love to do, like art, photography. One day, I will be like Danny and live in Japan ^^
My workspace, technically its my study space & relax space. My workspace is combating terrorists.
HP netbook comes in real handy when I'm always on the move, note the broken pair of Beats headphones behind it D:
If u can't tell, I still have the original plastic covering on my iMac and keyboard, not that I'm asian like that but it's to prevent all the dust that gets in here ^^ also have a fan for the iMac and ps3 as to cool off the heat that comes in through the tent walls.
I go through a lot of dust wipes, dusters and all kinds of wipes as I take care of my electronics & stuff everyday. An old Army saying, "take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you."
Luckily there's a library on base, some are my personal books, in which I'm studying web design and Japanese on my down time here.
Not only is it my first Mac but it's my first desktop ever and bought it online while here in Iraq of all places :D
My iPad came in the other day after submitting some of the pics above :D
iPad is amazing, lots of cool apps. Comes in a lot more handy than the netbook when I'm on the move.
and I hope I get in the Magazine.
The soldier from the unit I relieved hooked me up with his chair, Desk, power-strip, converter, and TV among some of the things I got for free. I bought the PS3 here at the PX and ordered the iMac to practice my photoshop skillz ^^
I never wanted the iPad, but then a month ago my iTouch took a crap on me. I mailed it to Apple with the online workorder since it was still under warranty, they would'nt fix it coz they found a small trace of liquid in the headphone jack. o.O
so I bought the iPad and i must say it's much much more than just a big iTouch.

The Chevrolet Motor Car Company, established in 1911, eultimately became the most popular automobile brand in the United States. In fact, Chevrolet was so coveted by the American motoring public, the brand became known as an intrinsic piece of Americana. This fact prompted one of its advertising agencies to coin the phrase; "Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet."
Now that's American!
Chevrolet is responsible for filling American garages with such iconic models as the Chevelle, Corvair, Nova, Bel Air, Impala, Camaro, and of course the most noteworthy of them all—Corvette. Among the innovations the brand brought to the masses, power steering and brakes, V8 engines, power windows, and air conditioning have all become de rigueur in modern automobiles.
Thing is, Chevrolet had done this by the middle 1950s, making its cars outstanding bargains as well.
In recent years, keeping an eye on fuel efficiency, Chevrolet introduced the all-new Volt. The Chevrolet Volt is the market's first extended range hybrid gasoline/electric powered vehicle. Drawing its primary motivation from battery-powered electric motors, when the battery pack is depleted, a small onboard gasoline engine starts to generate electricity to keep the automobile going.
Autobytel's Chevrolet reviews cover the technology behind contemporary Chevrolet cars, including their engines, their drivetrains, and their dynamic attributes. Our team of qualified professional reviewers presents detailed analysis of the performance, interior treatments, and safety equipment of Chevrolet models. Autobytel's Chevrolet reviews also measure the brand's cars against the potential demands of the average new car buyer. All of this is done to make sure you get the best information available when it comes to buying new Chevrolet cars.

"Truth be told, I never even heard the name 'Washington, D.C.' until I decided to run for the Senate. When I am elected, I will have no idea how to get there or where I'm supposed to go. Will there be buildings there? Is it temperate, rainy, hot, or arid? Do people speak English in this place, this Washington, D.C.?"
Senator Russ Feingold's Rand-loving opponent and possible successor, Ron Johnson, sums up his idiot philosophy in The Onion. "For the past 17 years Russ Feingold has done nothing but let down the people of this great state, or territory, or place, or whatever this is. He's a D.C. insider who has well-thought-out positions on issues. I don't know what issues are."
I'll reserve comment on the midterms as a whole until after we're through the gauntlet or the ship is wrecked, one way or another. Still, as per the norm, The Onion has been deadly on-point throughout this cycle.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: So what the heck is up with this? I hope the fine folks that made this game are doing something about this. In the past few days, I've encountered people who are VERY hard to kill. (As in blasting them with almost a full clip from an M60. That's 100 rounds!) I've found people tossing molotov cocktails which can't be selected as a weapon without a hack. I don't understand people who need to cheat at online games. I could care less if folks use cheat-codes and hacks on their own, but cheating in online games (probably with the goal of raising stats) is just crappy. Sorry. Had to vent. I'm not very good at this game, but a love playing it. It cheeses me off to see people doing this.


text: Following several production delays, parcel giant UPS cancelled its order for 10 freighter versions of the Airbus A380. The move leaves Airbus with no firm orders for the freighter version of the jumbo aircraft. UPS said the final cancellation decision will be formally presented to Airbus on the first date specified under an agreement reached last week that gives either party the right to terminate the order. UPS was originally slated to receive its first A380 freighters in 2009. But various production delays at Airbus pushed that back until as late as 2012. UPS said it is not confident Airbus, which announced 10,000 layoffs this week, would be able to deliver in 2012. UPS said it intended to complete an internal study of whether it could wait until 2012 for the aircraft, but now understands Airbus is diverting employees from the A380 freighter program to work on the passenger version. "Based on our previous discussions, we had felt that 2012 was a reasonable estimate of when Airbus could supply this plane," said David Abney, UPS's chief operating officer and president of UPS Airline. "We no longer are confident that Airbus can adhere to that schedule. UPS has built one of the largest airlines in the world in order to ensure reliable service to our customers, and we're confident we have the resources to continue doing so in the future."

His most recent reports are The online evolution: when technology meets tradition in higher education (April 2013), Taking university teaching seriously (July 2013), and Keep the caps off! Student access and choice in higher education (August 2013). He is a frequent media commentator on higher education issues.
Before joining Grattan, he spent 11 years with concurrent jobs as a policy adviser to the Vice-Chancellor at the University of Melbourne and as a research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies. In the late 1990s, he was higher education adviser to the then federal education minister, Dr David Kemp.
Splitting the higher education bill is the right strategy, but it needs to be done differently. Given fee deregulation is doomed in the Senate it should be delayed and separated from plans to extend tuition subsidies.
Topics: government-and-politics, federal-government, university-and-further-education
The Government's first higher education reform package tried to do several things at once. Disentangling it would be a good start to addressing the problems with university funding.
Topics: education, access-to-education, university-and-further-education, government-and-politics
Labor's contribution to the Senate inquiry into higher education reforms makes some valid points, but its decision to oppose all major reform leaves the system exposed.
Topics: government-and-politics, education, education-industry, business-economics-and-finance
With its relaxed repayment requirements, student debt was never meant to be a money spinner, and by selling it the Federal Government would just lose even more.

Keeping the $11,500 current threshold for declaring donations to political parties and NGOs rather than lowering it to $1,000 is fairer.

It depends on the application, whether they had tuned Oracle or not, and whether the performance of their application was really noticeable to begin with. Many times at EDB, we ran into people who had stock, untuned Oracle installs. Personally, I don't think that comparing a tuned Postgres system to an untuned Oracle system is a very fair comparison. Though, there were a couple customer applications that did run faster on Postgres (due to ip4r or Postgres' native integer/floating point data types not present in the customers version of Oracle). The OLTP cases where Oracle starts to outperform Postgres is usually around 25 heavy concurrent sessions. When you start scaling into hundreds of sessions, Oracle really starts to shine. If, however, you're running 10 or so concurrent users, Postgres will generally be faster simply because Oracle isn't optimized for small systems. This statement obviously varies based on what those 10 people are actually doing, because you could likely optimize lots of things using specific Oracle features such as materialized views, more access paths, parallelism, etc. Of course, if an application works equally well on both Oracle and Postgres, I'd say go with Postgres. There's no need to pay for Oracle features you're not going to use. Arrg! I feel like I'm bashing on Postgres when I'm simply trying to defend Oracle from a poorly written benchmark blog. The fact is, both systems are good and one should choose the tool that best fits their need, be that Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, or (yes, even) MySQL. I know this is the advocacy list, and my only hope was that we have a modicum of science behind a benchmark before putting too much into it. -Jonah

CHICAGO At the Chicago Botanic Garden on Thursday night, servers wearing train conductor caps poured cotton candy martinis at stations dubbed "bar cars." Guests sipped the sweet cocktails while checking out the garden's "Wonderland Express" exhibition, an annual display of miniature trains that inspires the holiday "All Aboard!" fund-raiser. Tickets went for $400 a head, and the function drew 325 guests. For the first time, proceeds will benefit the community garden programs Green Youth Farm and Windy City Harvest. Susan Tupper was chair, and Susan Spears was vice chair.
Each year, the event gets decor inspired by the idea of an international train voyage, with different dining areas channeling distinct locations. This year, Heffernan Morgan Ronsley brought elements of Sweden, Brazil, and India into the dining rooms. In the tranquil Stockholm room, centerpieces held tall, silvery branches. Servers wore turbans and distributed Indian flower necklaces in the Jaipur room, which was spruced up with golden chairs and silky purple linens. Palm leaves and bright tropical hues filled the Rio de Janeiro room, where servers wore colorful, ruffled tops inspired by traditional Carnival costumes. Music from the different countries formed soft soundtracks in each room.
Calihan Catering's menu also took inspiration from the international locales. Servers circulated with miniature pea and potato samosas, venison braised in juniper berries on brioche, wild mushroom and goat cheese strudels with balsamic syrup, and shrimp cakes with chili-lime cream sauce.
At one food station, staffers poured demitasse cups of butternut bisque, asking guests which room they were seated in for dinner to determine the kind of toppings they got on their soup. The ethnic finishes included vanilla skyr (an Icelandic cultured dairy product), roasted pumpkin seeds spiced with garam masala, and papaya relish. The evening's beneficiaries provided the micro greens and produce.

First the bad news and then the good news follows. I admit that I'm a see-the-glass-as-half-full person (love happy endings), so when a restaurant turns out to be lousy, I feel sad. But my first duty is to you dear reader, to give an honest assessment which is useful and usable. To help me get a broader perspective, I invite foodie readers. Here's what they say about today's restaurant under review, "If you care a wee bit about your money, please avoid this place," says Nishant Gandhi, a successful corporate executive, an entrepreneur, author in the making, also a trend-spotting and ideation specialist, blogger and content architect. "The food was quite tasteless. The desserts were equally disappointing," says Godlevea Perreira who has a degree in hotel management from IHM Dadar. Our review follows…
Tucked into a children's amusement park in Powai, this no-frills Bengali eatery lured us with its very unusual location and price points. Much to our disappointment, we found that it was neither authentic nor tasty. The service was slow in both the small air conditioned room as well as the outdoor area with its red and green awning. The outdoor area overlooks the kiddy park and one sits (almost) nose to nose with the stone dinosaur.
Most of the dishes we tried, be it the Dimer Devil (mutton kheema stuffed with a boiled egg) or the Minced Chicken Kabiraja (with a lacy egg coating) were spicy, oily and deep fried. Kasha Mangsho (slow cooked mutton in gravy) was overcooked with a handful of tiny meat pieces.
Also on offer are Rolls (mutton egg, veg, etc.,) Ilish bhapa, Bhetki Paturi. And believe it or not, China Town Chilly Chicken and Paneer Butter Masala too. "The Mishti Doi was sour, the Rosogulla was not sweet enough," says Nishant and goes on to add, "An extra word on the staff and service — pathetic." My other two guests agreed. Dhiraj Kumar, software engineer is a foodie, poet and part-time professional make up artist. Arkesh Ayyagiri (student of SIES college of commerce and economics, Sion) kept us riveted about his volunteer work at his college fest "Fantasies" (Dec 7 and 8 with it's Bollywood theme where Sonal Chauhan, Bruna Abdullah, Cyrus Broacha and Mir Ali are expected to attend.) No alcohol but very affordable price points here… if only they'd improve their service and food.

Tottenham, Man City reach FA Cup quarters
LONDON -- Tottenham advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals by beating Fulham 4-0 Sunday behind two goals each by Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov.
Tottenham has won the FA Cup eight times, the last in 1991. It ended a three-game losing streak in all competitions.
Brian McBride had Fulham's best chances, with Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson tipping his ball over the crossbar in the 17th minute and making another save on the American in the 50th.
Keane first scored with a hard volley from the edge of the box in the seventh minute. He then volleyed in another in the 68th after a header from Mido at Craven Cottage.
Berbatov made it 3-0 in the 77th by scoring after his initial shot hit the far post. The Bulgaria striker easily beat Fulham goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka in the final minute.
McBride was taken off in the 62nd minute, and Clint Dempsey was brought on to replace Tomasz Radzinski in the 67th.
Manchester City also reached the quarterfinals, scoring twice in the closing minutes to beat League Championship team Preston 3-1.
Giorgios Samaras had a goal off a deflection in the 85th minute and Stephen Ireland added another in the 90th. David Nugent had given Preston the lead in the eighth minute, but Michael Ball tied the score for City in the 35th.
Bernado Corradi flicked a throw-in to Samaras, whose shot deflected in off Preston defender Matthew Hill. Ireland then scored with a powerful volley.
Preston took the lead when a header from Michael Ricketts was pushed away by Manchester City goalkeeper Nicky Weaver and Nugent put back the rebound.
Ball answered by knocking in a rebound off the post after a volley from Corradi had hit the same post. It was Ball's first goal for City in his second game since he left PSV Eindhoven on Jan. 31. Shortly afterward, Ricketts was hurt making a play in the air and was removed from the field on a stretcher.

'Glee' Cast Delivers Mash-Up of Adele's 'Rumour Has It / Someone Like You'
Next week, in the new 'Mash Off' episode of 'Glee,' our favorite characters will be pitted against each other to prove who can talk the talk and walk the walk — and two of McKinley's sassiest will deliver a hot mashed performance of Adele's 'Rumour Has It' and 'Someone Like You.'
Santana and Mercedes will lead the all-girl show choir in the blended number, which proves that girl power still owns. Shelby Corcoran's group of stolen New Directions females take the stage dressed in all black, and from there, it's an absolute jaw-dropping scene.
Mercedes opens things up with 'Rumour Has It,' and before she really gets into the chorus, Santana waltzes in with an equally big voice and the high points of 'Someone Like You.' We hate to compare 'Glee' to superstar Adele, but, well … Two voices are better than one, and this just may be our favorite mash-up ever.
Step back, New Directions, because this time, the stage belongs to the ladies. The 'Mash Off' episode of 'Glee' airs Nov. 15 on FOX.
Listen to the 'Glee' Cast Perform 'Rumour Has It / Someone Like You'

May 7, 2013
Senator Barbara Boxer's (D-CA) most recent bill to block the proposed Cemex sand and gravel mine in Canyon Country has gained support from Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), The Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported.
The bill follows a decade-long battle between Cemex and Santa Clarita, in which Santa Clarita officials oppose the two 10-year contracts Cemex received from the Bureau of Land Management in 1990. The contracts allow Cemex to mine 56 million tons of sand and gravel from Soledad Canyon.
Santa Clarita officials have expressed concerns that the amount of mining would create high truck traffic and compromise air quality.
The bill proposes a land-swap deal in exchange for Cemex's contracts for the mine. Cemex would be compensated for cancelled contracts with money earned from the sale of federally owned land near Victorville. The bill would prevent any future mining on the site.
Feinstein has previously supported a legislative resolution to the Cemex battle. However, this is the first such bill she has supported.
The bill has not made it through to a congressional session because of its potential to violate House rules against earmarks.
Santa Clarita Mayor Bob Kellar and Intergovernmental Relations Officer Michael Murphy say the goal is for the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to hear Boxer's bill early this summer.

I'm new here and this is my first post. I know this topic has been covered a lot based on what I've read, but I have questions. I've tried many different vanilla cake recipes and have yet to find one that tastes like classic birthday cake from when I was a kid, and like white cake from a box mix. I'm looking for a scratch cake like this, do I use a WASC? Also, I know it calls for almond extract, but I don't want my cake to taste like almond, should I omit it?
If this isn't the cake I should be using, does anyone have a cake that tastes like what I'm looking for? All the ones I've tried have tasted like sugar cookies or haven't been anything like what I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help.
I hate to say this but I think you will be lost if you are looking for a scratch cake with a box mix taste. Box mixes have so many chemicals and artificial flavors in them that it is nearly impossible to replicate that taste.
I understand where you are coming from about the sugar cookie taste. That is usually with butter recipes. If you can find an oil-based yellow recipe that might work better for you. Yes you can eliminate almond extract. I usually add more vanilla extract to recipes anyway.
Thanks so much!
I just found an oil-based one I'm going to try right now, then I'll try a WASC without the almond extract and see which one I like best.
If there's a particular cake you have in mind from your childhood, the best bet is to ask whomever used to make them for you. Or find an old cookbook. Good luck. I have fond memories of my mom's always from scratch cakes.

Looking delicious from here!
Looking delicious from here!
Great looking PP!
PPP= points for pulled pork.
Looks great. Thanks for posting.
I've found that if I want to get good bark on my pork butt, I don't foil it while cooking. I'll let it go uncovered up to about 195. Then I wrap it in foil and into a cooler with towels. The bark has always turned out well when I have done this. I'll only foil it while cooking if I need to speed up the process a bit. It does cook faster, but because your sort of steaming the meat, the bark doesn't turn out as well.

All I Want for Christmas is You - Lyrics (Mariah Carey)
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I, I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for St. Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding onto me so tight
What more can I do
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me, quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

Negative Math:
A student in class asks the math teacher: "Shouldn't minus times minus make minus?" Teachers soon convince most students that it does not. Yet the innocent question brings with it a germ of mathematical creativity. What happens if we encourage that thought, odd and ungrounded though it may seem?
Few books in the field of mathematics encourage such creative thinking. Fewer still are engagingly written and fun to read. This book succeeds on both counts. Alberto Martinez shows us how many of the mathematical concepts that we take for granted were once considered contrived, imaginary, absurd, or just plain wrong. Even today, he writes, not all parts of math correspond to things, relations, or operations that we can actually observe or carry out in everyday life.
Negative Math ponders such issues by exploring controversies in the history of numbers, especially the so-called negative and "impossible" numbers. It uses history, puzzles, and lively debates to demonstrate how it is still possible to devise new artificial systems of mathematical rules. In fact, the book contends, departures from traditional rules can even be the basis for new applications. For example, by using an algebra in which minus times minus makes minus, mathematicians can describe curves or trajectories that are not represented by traditional coordinate geometry.
Clear and accessible, Negative Math expects from its readers only a passing acquaintance with basic high school algebra. It will prove pleasurable reading not only for those who enjoy popular math, but also for historians, philosophers, and educators.
Key Features?
"Alberto A. Martínez . . . shows that the concept of negative numbers has perplexed not just young students but also quite a few notable mathematicians. . . . The rule that minus times minus makes plus is not in fact grounded in some deep and immutable law of nature. Martínez shows that it's possible to construct a fully consistent system of arithmetic in which minus times minus makes minus. It's a wonderful vindication for the obstinate smart-aleck kid in the back of the class."--Greg Ross, American Scientist
"Alberto Martinez . . . has written an entire book about the fact that the product of two negative numbers is considered positive. He begins by reminding his readers that it need not be so. . . . The book is written in a relaxed, conversational manner. . . . It can be recommended to anyone with an interest in the way algebra was developed behind the scenes, at a time when calculus and analytic geometry were the main focus of mathematical interest."--James Case, SIAM News
"[Negative Math] is very readable and the style is entertaining. Much is done through examples rather than formal proofs. The writer avoids formal mathematical logic and the more esoteric abstract algebras such as group theory."--Mathematics Magazine
"An excellent book, truly readable and accurate. I repeatedly found myself intrigued and informed by Martínez's examples and approaches, which succeed in transforming competent historical analysis into an informative and thought-provoking meditation on mathematical meaning."--Joan L. Richards, Brown University
"Beautifully written. Accurate and reliable. The author's point, that mathematics is constructed according to our judgment of what will serve us, is very important and little understood."--Reuben Hersh, University of New Mexico
