ABERDEEN, Idaho — A researcher with the Aberdeen Plant Materials Center believes commercial wild grass and flower seed producers can better control weeds by planting certain species as cover crops.
Cover crops are planted primarily to improve soil health. Loren St. John, the center's manager, explained managing weeds is a major problem in the commercial conservation seed industry because herbicides used to control broadleaf invaders also kill most flowers and grasses.
St. John has found that planting radishes as a cover crop reduces soil compaction through the deep taproots. Furthermore, radishes give off a chemical that delays the growth of weeds, giving grasses and flowers an opportunity to take hold without competition. A field of Appar blue flax he planted this season has provided St. John the first glimpse of the benefits to wildflowers grown following radishes.
"It was a beautiful field. It was the best field I've seen here in 20 years," St. John said. "That's something (commercial seed growers) may want to consider down the road is using a cover crop before they establish a seed field."
St. John said radishes used as a cover crop also take up excess soil nitrates and spare growers the expense of having to mechanically prepare seed beds through cultivation. He said mustard and turnips also seem to stymie weed growth. Though St. John used radishes alone in his trial, he advises planting a mixture of cover crop species to maximize the soil benefit.
Delbert Winterfield, who raises grass and flower seed on dry land in eastern Idaho's Swan Valley, planted a small acreage of radishes this season for his own cover crop experiment.
"We still have got to find something to control weeds in those wildflowers. I don't have anything I can control weeds with other than mechanical cultivation or the old hand hoe," Winterfield said.
Winterfield believes radishes will also help control soil nematodes. Winterfield has enjoyed strong sales lately of cover crop seeds to commodity crop growers. If his area receives enough snowpack to provide ample soil moisture this winter, he intends to plant radishes, turnips and other cover crops in order to both harvest the seeds to sell to customers and reap his own soil benefits in a subsequent flower crop.

Hagel: US military stands ready to strike Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military stands ready to strike Syria at once if President Barack Obama gives the order, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Tuesday as the United States prepared to formally declare that chemical weapons had been used in the Syrian civil war.
U.S. officials said the growing intelligence pointed strongly toward President Bashar Assad's government as the culprit — a claim Assad called "preposterous."
The U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggressive response since Syria's civil war began more than two years ago. As of Tuesday morning, officials said President Barack Obama had not yet decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, a move he said last year would cross a red line.
The Obama administration has already said there is "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack in Syria last week. Two administration officials said the U.S. could make public a more formal determination of chemical weapons use that pins the blame on Assad as early as Tuesday.
A third U.S. official said some of the evidence includes signals intelligence — information gathered from intercepted communications. The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed and witness accounts.
The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.
It's unlikely international military action would begin before Thursday. That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament where lawmakers are expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response to the chemical weapons attack.
International support was growing. In Paris, President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that France is "ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents." And the Arab League, a 22-member body dominated by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, also called for justice, laying blame for the attack on the Syrian government.
Officials said the international community was considering action that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping measures aimed at ousting the Syrian leader or strengthening rebel forces. The focus of the internal debate underscores the scant international appetite for a large-scale deployment of forces in Syria and the limited number of other options.
The most likely military response would involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military targets. The White House is also studying legal justifications for taking such steps without approval from the United Nations, where Russia is certain to block action at the Security Council.
Hagel told BBC television on Tuesday that the Defense Department has "moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take."
The U.S. Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea within range of targets inside Syria. The U.S. also has warplanes in the region.
Hagel said "to me it's clearer and clearer" that the Syrian government was responsible, but that the Obama administration was waiting for intelligence agencies to make that determination.
Hagel was interviewed during a visit to the Southeast Asian nation of Brunei. While there, Hagel spoke by phone about Syria with his counterparts from Britain and France. Hagel's press secretary, George Little, said, said Hagel "conveyed that the United States is committed to working with the international community to respond to the outrageous chemical attacks."
Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were also making the case for action to counterparts around the world. While the president has not spoken publicly about the deepening crisis this week, Kerry on Monday issued a blistering rebuke of the Assad regime's actions.
"By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable," he told reporters at the State Department Monday.
Assad, who has denied using chemical weapons, was defiant. In an interview published Tuesday on the website of the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, Assad accused the U.S. and other countries of "disdain and blatant disrespect of their own public opinion; there isn't a body in the world, let alone a superpower, that makes an accusation and then goes about collecting evidence to prove its point."
The Syrian leader warned that if the U.S. attacks Syria, it will face "what it has been confronted with in every war since Vietnam: failure."
The Obama administration was moving ahead even as a United Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last week's attack. The U.S. said Syria's delay in giving the inspectors access rendered the U.N. investigation meaningless and that the Obama administration had its own intelligence confirming chemical weapons use.
The U.N. team came under sniper fire Monday as it traveled to the site of the Aug. 21 attack and on Tuesday delayed a second inspection. A U.S. official said the U.N. team's delay would not affect the Obama administration's timeline for releasing its own intelligence assessments.
It's unlikely that the U.S. would launch a strike against Syria while the United Nations team is still in the country. The administration may also try to time any strike around Obama's travel schedule — he's due to hold meetings in Sweden and Russia next week — in order to avoid having the commander in chief abroad when the U.S. launches military action.
The president has ruled out putting American troops on the ground in Syria and officials say they are not considering setting up a unilateral no-fly zone.
In Congress, bipartisan support for a military response appeared to be building, with some key lawmakers calling for targeted strikes. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican had "preliminary communication" with White House officials about the situation in Syria and a potential American response.
However, some lawmakers from both parties were calling on the president to consult Congress before moving forward. Republican Rep. Scott Rigell is asking colleagues to sign a letter to the president urging him to reconvene Congress and seek approval for any military action.

Euan Morton and Fred Arsenault are cast — and make up the entire cast — of Yale Repertory Theatre's production of "Stones in His Pockets" by Maria Jones.
The show runs Jan, 25 to Feb. 16 at the Rep. The production is directed by Evan Yionoulis (Rep's "Richard II," "Heaven," "Bossa Nova," "The Master Builder" and "King Stag").
Morton was in Broadway's "Taboo" and "Sondheim on Sondheim," off-Broadway's "Measure for Pleasure" and most recently was featured in "Divine Rivalry" at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre
Arsenault was most recently seen in the world premiere this fall at the Rep in "Marie Antoinette." Other credits include Broadway's "Royal Family" and "Born Yesterday." Off-Broadway credits include "Henry V" and as a member of the Blue Man Group.
The show is Rep's second two-character play in a row, following the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl's "Dear Elizabeth," which ends its run Saturday.
Set in a rural Irish village which is disrupted the arrival of an American film crew, the play is described: "When Charlie and Jake are cast as extras in the movie, they discover that Hollywood's romanticized Ireland stands in stark contrast to the reality of their daily lives." The two actors play more than a dozen American and Irish characters.
The play was a hit in London but was short-lived on Broadway in 2011 when it lasted 198 performances. Over the last decade it has been popular at regional theaters.

Health Check System EnhancementsFriday, April 22nd, 2011
Now that Resin is passing all the required TCKs and is ready for Java EE 6 Web Profile certification, we plan to shift focus to quality and stability for the next few months. Â Updates to the HealthCheck system, which are already underway, are an important part of that effort.
Resin 4.0.16 and later includes "health.xml", a new configuration file dedicated to health checks, action, and meters. Â This is a big step forward from Resin's <ping> or <resin:PingThread> that some users may be familiar with. Â While external application monitoring is important to your overall system architecture, the real power of Resin's health monitoring is the ability to easily trigger things like restarts and thread dumps that would otherwise require custom external hooks.

Zalman S Series 128GB SSD Review
With the ever-accelerating expansion in the SSD industry as prices plummet and speeds multiply, no one company has been able to corner the market and knock out the competition. Many companies have seen value in the SSD sector and have decided to jump into the open fray and try its hand at the game. You may now add Zalman to that list. Most people know Zalman for its very numerous and popular cooling solutions, as well as itsr cases and smaller accessories. Zalman has never really done anything major in the storage market until this new SSD push.
To begin with, Zalman is pushing out two fairly cookie cutter SSD lines - the N Series and the S Series. The N Series is its higher end, higher priced, SandForce-based line, with drives up to 256GB. The S Series is a bit more mainstream with a lower price and a JMicron controller. The S Series is offered up to 128GB and is what this review focuses on. Glancing at the specs (read up to 260MB/s, write up to 210MB/s, TRIM support), everything looks like a solid SSD, but will Zalman's first push into the market succeed? I intend to find out!
Closer Look:
Being the budget minded series, I would expect Zalman to refrain from putting too much fluff into such minor things as packaging. The drive comes in a very small, basic white box that foregoes the frills in favor of simplicity and economy. The packaging is not ugly, but it is very plain and simplistic. It effectively conveys a good amount of information in a small amount of space, so for that I'll say that Zalman is on the money here.
Inside the box, Zalman redefines the meaning of the words "Bare Minimum." The SSD slides out in a basic clear plastic tray with a USB cord and a folded quick start guide below it. That's it. It's okay though since it's the drive we're after here and technically, with the USB cord, everything needed to access it is included. As for the bare necessities, as long as the performance is there, I say go for it if it keeps the price down in the budget sector.
Pretty basic, so let's take a look at the drive.

THE MODERATOR: At this time we'll get started with the Alabama press conference for the 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship.
We've been joined by head coach Nick Saban along with quarterback AJ McCarron. Here comes linebacker Courtney Upshaw.
Just a few comments from Coach Saban, and then we'll open the floor for questions.
COACH SABAN: It's certainly been a privilege to have the opportunity to coach this group of young men on this team. It's sometimes easy to do the right thing some of the time. But these guys, over the last year, have done things right almost all the time.
And the goal today was you control your destiny, you control what you do; the outcome of the game, as good as LSU was, will be determined by how we play and what we do.
And I think the players really responded well to that. You know, we went to see the movie Red Tails last night, which I would recommend to anybody, but those guys's motto was the last plane, the last bullet, the last man, the last minute, we fight.
And we always stay with the mission. And I think that kind of described the spirit of that group extremely well, but it also describes the spirit of the group of players that we have on our team this year and takes a tremendous amount of resiliency to come back.
It was tougher losing a game, and I think that demonstrates the character of the people in that locker room to come back from that game and finish the season like they did.
THE MODERATOR: Questions?
Q. Coach and AJ, Marquis gets hurt very early in the game and Norwood comes in, four catches, 78 yards. Talk about the job he did stepping in.
COACH SABAN: Norwood did a great job in the game, made some big catches. We knew we were going to have to throw the ball on first down to move the ball effectively.
I thought our receivers did a great job. AJ did a great job. We had solid protection for the most part. So it was really a team effort.
But those guys made some outstanding catches. And Kevin has when he's got the opportunity to play this year, he's played well and made good plays for us. And made big catches and he certainly made some big catches tonight.
AJ MCCARRON: I mean, we didn't have that happen all year. But when we rotate in and out during practice, and when we see that happen all year long, every day of the week, guys step up, make plays for us.
And the offensive line gave me time. And I just put it in their area, and those guys went up and made a bunch of plays tonight for me. And you can't say enough about that group.
Q. AJ, what was your reaction when you got the game plan and you saw, I guess, how much was going to be on your shoulders, especially on first down plays?
AJ MCCARRON: I was very thankful, first of all, about it. We've been leaning on No. 3 all year. He's our workhorse. I mean, he's our main guy.
And we knew coming into the game somebody else had to step up, and coach just gave me an opportunity. Like I said, when you have a group of receivers like I have, makes your job easy as a quarterback. And you just gotta put it in their area. They go up and make the plays for you and they make you look like the hero.
But, I mean, it all falls back on those guys and that offensive line for giving me enough time.
Q. Nick, this movie that you guys went to see last night sounds a little like a variation on what you've been saying all year about finish, finish, finish, something left over from last year. In this game, did you feel like this team came as close as a team can come to finishing every play mentally, physically, emotionally?
COACH SABAN: That was kind of the message before the game, is that we wanted to finish. In fact, it was a question: How bad do you want to finish? What's your effort going to be, your enthusiasm, your excitement to play in the game, the toughness that you're willing to play with, all the intangibles, and you do it one play at a time?
Regardless of what happens in the game and I think that was we certainly didn't play a perfect game. We got a field goal blocked. We couldn't score a touchdown for a long time. But the guys just kept playing and never once was anybody ever discouraged about anything that ever happened in the game.
And I think that attitude prevailed for us as a team. We were just going to play one play at a time, finish each play. And regardless of what the circumstance was on the play before, have a sort of an "I will not be denied" attitude about how to play the next play.
And I think that that spirit was sort of reflected out there in the way our players competed.
Q. AJ, what motivated you going into the second half after you did so well in the first half? You came out in the second half, you were fired up again. It's something it didn't happen in the first game, but the second game you really came out fired up. What was your motivation?
AJ MCCARRON: Well, you know, I always laugh about it. After or during that Florida game, I'm sure pretty much most of the country saw Coach rip me for showing too much emotion. And after the LSU game the first time, he told me to play like myself, show emotion.
COACH SABAN: Let me correct that. I just didn't want to have to pull that big guy you're ready to get into it with off of you. (Laughter).
AJ MCCARRON: So Coach told me to, you know, show some emotion. Play like myself. And I'm just thankful Coach gave me the opportunity to come out and put the ball in my hands and let me make some plays.
And I think a bunch of our success goes to the guys that don't really get it, that people don't see, is the defensive scouts. I mean, those guys gave us a perfect look all week long of the past 44 days or however long we've been practicing for LSU. Those guys have been perfect on that side of the ball during practice.
Those are the guys that don't ever get noticed in the newspapers. And they earned this just as much as everybody else that played the game tonight.
Q. AJ, I know you like to share credit, and I know that it was a team win, but tonight you had one of the best games for an Alabama quarterback ever in a national championship game. Numberswise it was one of the best that a quarterback has ever had. What did you do over the past 44 days to prepare yourself completely for that?
AJ MCCARRON: I don't think I did anything special, really. I mean, I always bust my butt in the film room. I mean, it helps when you got a little longer, you can study them a lot more.
But I bust my butt in there, and I know everything they want to do. Certain downs and distances. But that goes back to our coaching staff. We have the best coaching staff in the country.
And, I mean, I felt like it was in my hands to kind of send Coach Mack off on a win, a big win, off to his new coaching journey.
And, like I said, I'm just glad Coach gave me the opportunity. I don't think I did anything special, though. Like Coach always tells me, just go out and play your game.
On the bus ride the other day I sat with him. He just talked and he said: Listen. You don't have to win the game, just go play your game. And I felt like I did that tonight.
Q. Courtney, just a quick question. The defense pitched a shutout tonight, and LSU only crossed the 50, I think, one time. Can you talk about the chemistry and just the overall performance?
COURTNEY UPSHAW: It comes from we all are out there having fun. Coach Saban tell us all, you know what I'm saying, even the guys on the sideline, even if you're not a player, just make sure you're in the game. When one player make a play, all ten and the rest of the guys are trying to go celebrate with that guy, you know what I'm saying, us going out and having fun with each other.
Q. Near as we could tell Coach, as near as we could tell, AJ was the first sophomore or younger quarterback to win a championship in the BCS era. What sets him apart from other quarterbacks that you've coached or coached against?
COACH SABAN: Well, AJ has been in the program for three years. And even though this is his first year starting, I think he's taken advantage of maturing as a player, because he does prepare well, he has really good football instincts about what he's doing, he's a talented guy, and he's learned, I think, how to take what the defense gives and play with patience and not try to force plays. And he's played well for us all year long.
And I told him when we were riding on the bus the other day, you know, that first LSU game was not one of your best games, but you really don't have to win this game; you just gotta play your game. And that's really what we want all of our players to do.
And I thought he did a fantastic job of that tonight.
Now, I would like to make a comment about the question you asked Courtney over here about our defense. I mean, you're talking about one of the most competitive groups of guys as a group. Sometimes I get mad at them at practice because they get a little bit hurt and they don't run to the ball like I want them to or like we want them to or whatever.
But I always know, all right, when you throw the ball out, they're going to go get it. Because they are a hateful bunch and they are as competitive as you can ever imagine. And I think that's probably why they played really well in big games.
Q. Courtney and Nick, Coach always talks about total domination. Did you do that tonight? And, also, did you sense that Jordan Jefferson was just totally frustrated to the point that he really couldn't function?
COURTNEY UPSHAW: Well, we wanted to just go out and execute our game plan. We knew they was going to try, you know what I'm saying, to do something here and there, and we just wanted to stay with the game plan, keep them contained, keep them in this pocket, make him a passer.
The coaching staff put it, you know what I'm saying put it to us straight. We had to go out and execute, you know what I'm saying, the game plan, do our job, and don't try to do too much.
COACH SABAN: They really had us a little bit off balance. They spread us in regular people, and they had some people open. And in those cases, in most of those cases it was the pass rush and the pressure that affected the quarterback, even if we didn't sack him, that probably saved us. Because there was two or three plays where they had the tight end open down the middle. We tried to play nickel against it. That didn't work out so well.
So they did some good things in the game that caused a little bit of confusion for us. Our players adapted well to it and adjusted, and I think did a really good job.
Q. Would you call it domination? Would you use that word?
COACH SABAN: No. No, I'm sure when we watch the film these guys know we always have a good, bad and ugly reel. I can always find something ugly to talk about. (Laughter).
Q. Courtney, just as the game went along, what were you sensing from their offense, their players, in terms of any sort of frustration or confusion?
COURTNEY UPSHAW: I don't know. I mean, in a way you can say that you can sense their frustration. They was getting down on it. Going into the fourth quarter you gotta score, you know what I'm saying, to stay in the game.
I know on defense we just kept saying that we want to go out and make plays and that the game wasn't over, because we knew watching them in the SEC Championship that they came back in the second half and was basically dominant against Georgia.
We wanted to go out and win the game. And that's one of our mottos, is to finish.
Q. Nick, you're not easily impressed, but I saw you looking at the stat sheet. When you look at those numbers, are you tiny bit impressed by what your team did?
COACH SABAN: I was really looking at I know AJ threw it a lot, but I was just seeing how many he completed and how many yards we had passing.
But LSU's got a really good team. I'm really proud of the way our team competed in this game today. They're the only team that beat us. And, you know, in a way, to have two teams as good as our two teams in the same division, in the same conference, is pretty unique.
But I think, you know I think that their players are one of the most difficult groups that we have to prepare for and play against. And I was really proud of the way our players played in this game tonight.
And I know we're going to have to play them again next year.
Q. Coach, this is your second championship victory in this building. It will be another four years that the BCS comes back to this building. Think you have to wait that long for another championship?
COACH SABAN: Look, I'm a daytoday guy. So we're processoriented in what we do. It's always our goal to give our players the best chance to be successful. And the only thing I'm disappointed about, because it means a lot to me to win the SEC Championship, and we weren't able to accomplish that this year.
But I'm very proud of what our players did in coming back and winning this game. And we'll continue to recruit and try to develop the players we have, and hopefully at some point in time in the future maybe we'll have another opportunity to do this.
Q. Nick, I'm hearing my peers describe it as having you put the load on AJ's shoulders. Is that an accurate characterization of the game plan? And at what point did you decide to do that and why?
COACH SABAN: Well, it wasn't about AJ. It was about they've got a very good defensive front. And they play a lot of eightman fronts on run downs.
And we felt like in the first game we should have thrown the ball more on first down in our sort of assessment of ourselves. And we knew we were going to have to throw the ball on first down to take advantage of that circumstance and situation.
So it was about what we needed to do to win the game. And I believe in trusting and believing in the players. And I've always trusted AJ, and I believe in him. And I don't mind putting the ball in his hand so he has an opportunity to make those plays, as long as he makes good choices and decisions about what he does with it. And he's done a good job of that all year.
So it was no problem for us to do that. And when we had to run it, we were able to run it fairly effectively in the second half. And offensive line did a really good job because you can't throw it unless you can protect. And they've got some good rushers inside and out.
So our offensive line did a good job. The receivers did a good job. I think AJ would be the first one to tell you, when you have success, whether you're throwing it or running it, everybody out there's gotta do their job. And I think it was a job well done by the entire group.
Q. Coach, this defense gave up 92 total yards tonight. You've had a lot of great defensive teams you've coached. Now that the season's over, is this the best defense that you've ever coached?
COACH SABAN: I don't like to make comparisons. These guys are, you know, a fine group. This has been a great team to coach, it really has.
I mean, somewhere along the line after the Bowl game last year they made a commitment. There was a lot of good leadership on this team. I actually thought in some ways we had more talent on our team last year than this year.
But the character, the attitude, the resiliency of this group, the work and the commitment and the buyin was what made this team different.
And I can't tell you what defense was the best. I can just tell you this was one of the most enjoyable teams to coach.
Q. (Question about Jeremy Shelley off microphone)?
COACH SABAN: Jeremy did a great job in the game. We have a lot of confidence in Jeremy. He doesn't have great range, but when we get it down there by the 25yard line he does a pretty good job for the most part. We got one blocked and he pushed one to the right a little bit.
But we're just going to keep on keeping on and keep giving him opportunities, and I think he did a fantastic job.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you.

So as obsessed as I am with The Dirty.com I have found a new website that makes me just as happy as I laugh and feel superior to others :)
It's called Is Anyone Up, and basically is a place where you can submit nudes of people or yourself and people will comment on them.
So basically like Thedirty without the pink hearts.
I find it hysterical but it could very well be because I'm a sick person :)

With the arrival of autumn, it has meant a sudden burst of trees with beautiful red, orange and yellow leaves, the sun going down earlier in the evenings and a slight chill in the air. I love it!
Along with being able to snuggle under fleece blankets or listen to the sound of the leaves crunching when we're out for a walk, I love seeing the excitement in my kids' eyes as they anticipate the arrival of one of their most festive (and favorite) holidays of the year...Halloween is right around the corner! How could they not be giddy over getting to wear fun costumes and go trick-or-treating for yummy goodies?
This year, however, we have had much more than candy to look forward to, as Kraft has easily gotten us into the Halloween spirit with their delicious products and inspiration to create some delicious spook-tacular treats!
How could we not be inspired to get into the eerie, spine-chilling mood of Halloween with these delicious ingredients, great tools and cute decor?
I have always loved the way that JELL-O makes it incredibly easy to create spooky, yet tasty, creations with their variety of JIGGLERS Halloween molds and this year is no exception. Why not turn a traditional treat into one that is frightfully fun and serve up some JELL-O ghosts, witches, black cats, pumpkins and bats?
However, the items that made my mouth water the most had to be the PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and the all of the JET-PUFFED varieties of marshmallows. As the weather continues to cool down, we can't wait to add these JET-PUFFED GHOSTMALLOWS to hot chocolate for the kids and the PUMPKINSPICEMALLOWS to hot apple cider, pumpkin pie and more... and is there anything that isn't made better with cream cheese?
It was time to whip up a few tasty recipes that would be absolutely perfect for a gathering, bringing a treat to friends, or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth. Let's get baking, it's time to party Halloween-style!
Halloween Scream Cheese Brownies
Prep Time: 10 minutes • Cook Time: 30 minutes • Serves: 24 brownies
1 brownie mix/homemade brownie recipe
8 oz. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
5 Tbsp. butter, softened
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. flour
Orange food coloring (or red + yellow)
PREHEAT oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray.
FOLLOW the directions to prepare your brownie mix and spread ½ of the mixture in the pan.
BLEND cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and flour and mix well. Add orange food coloring to desired color, blending thoroughly.
SPREAD cream cheese mixture on top of brownie mix in pan. Add remaining brownie batter on top and pull a knife through to swirl.
BAKE for 30 minutes and let cool before cutting and serving.
Haunted S'mores Cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes • Cook Time: 15 minutes • Serves: 24 cupcake-size cups
1 pouch (1 lb, 1.5 oz.) sugar cookie mix
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 cups milk chocolate chips (18 oz.)
HEAT oven to 375°F and prepare 24 baking cups with liners.
STIR together cookie mix and graham cracker crumbs in a large bowl. Add in melted butter and mix until soft dough forms. Spoon mixture evenly into two lined 12-cup muffin tins, pressing onto bottom and up side of each cup.
BAKE approximately 15 minutes or until set. Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over crust and let stand for a few minutes until the chocolate begins to melt.
SET oven to broil. Place 3 GHOSTMALLOWS over melted chocolate on each cup and broil 20 to 30 seconds or until marshmallows are toasted and are beginning to brown. Cool 10 minutes.
Some cooking notes:
• For the Haunted S'mores Cups, you can use slightly less milk chocolate chips and added in BAKER'S White Chocolate for a yummy twist!
• For the Haunted S'mores Cups, if you would prefer to make bars, press the dough into an ungreased 13x9" pan and bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
We can't wait to continue to celebrate October with these Halloween-inspired Kraft Foods products. With so many tasty and fun ways to add a little spooky touch to our lives, I have no doubt that the whole family will be eager to get into the kitchen to create even more delicious recipes no one will forget!

Day after day of seeing long-range forecasts showing rain, rain and more rain… if you enjoy riding a bike, don't let it get you down!
- The weather forecast is often wrong, and when it's not wrong, it's at least exaggerated. It hasn't rained 10 days straight in California in ages, and when it has, it hasn't rained every single hour on each of those days.
- You can ride in the rain. Whether it's a drizzle or a downpour, you can set up a bike for rain use and pretend to mind you're not getting wet.
Today was one of those days where you wonder how many people stayed home instead of riding and missed out on at least a couple hours in the afternoon when the sun came out, the roads dried, and the clean air & lightly-traveled roads made it a joy to be out riding. But for Kevin and I, we first had to pay our dues.
We got out to a late start (yeah, pretty much the norm), around 11:45, and headed south. The original idea was to ride through the foothills to our Los Altos store, grab a quick bite to eat and then head up Redwood Gulch to Skyline, head north to Sky Londa and home. After spending a bit too much time in Los Altos we modified things a bit, heading north along Foothill and then up Moody & Page Mill to Skyline. Kevin was a bit concerned that we'd run into some real nasty stuff up top, but I just knew otherwise. How? Just my absurd certainty that foul weather wasn't going to last forever… and it didn't. The last three hours of the ride saw beautiful weather, fantastic views of the coast (and a mudslide you could see when you looked down on west-side Old LaHonda).
Would it have been nicer if it hadn't been raining at all? And not had to stop a couple times to readjust fenders so they wouldn't rub against tires? Sure! But how many people looked at the weather forecast and made up their minds they wouldn't be riding today… and later looked out their windows and saw the sun shining and the roads drying off and realized they missed out?
Be prepared. Have a rain bike handy, something you don't worry about keeping in great shape, set up with fenders and sturdier, wider tires for more traction and fewer punctures on wet roads. Skip the minimalist seat bag and go big, something with room enough for an inexpensive plastic rain jacket (they don't stuff so well, but they do keep the rain off). Make sure you've got front & rear flashing lights, and, very important, wear a hat under your helmet, so when the rain gets nasty you can just tilt your head down slightly and keep most of it out of your eyes. Don't even think about timing the ride; it's not about speed, it's about being on your bike, rain or shine, hot or cold, because riding a bike makes you feel complete.

Putting a Dollar Value on Food Waste Estimates
By Carol Dreibelbis
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that about one-third—or 1.3 billion metric tons—of all food produced for human consumption goes to waste each year. While it is easy to recognize the enormity of this number, it is much more difficult to make sense of it in a useful way. An October 2012 study by Jean Buzby and Jeffrey Hyman of the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks to make food waste estimates more meaningful by attaching a dollar value.
The study measures the value of food loss in the United States at the retail ("supermarkets, megastores like Walmart, and other retail outlets") and consumer ("food consumed at home and away from home") levels. Findings indicate that US$165.6 billion worth of food was lost at these levels in 2008. This translates to the loss of an average of US$1.49 worth of food per person per day—totaling about US$544 per person per year—at the retail and consumer levels. At the consumer level, alone, the average American wasted almost 10 percent of the amount spent on his or her food in 2008.
Food losses on this scale are concerning, especially when viewed in the context of a growing global population. As the study explains, "The United Nations predicts that the world population will reach 9.3 billion by 2050 and this growth will require at least a 70 percent increase in food production, net of crops used for biofuels." Considering that a reduction of food loss at the consumer and retail levels by just one percent would keep US$1.66 billion worth of food in the food supply, limiting food waste could play a major role in feeding future populations.
Food waste also places an unnecessarily heavy burden on the environment. The production, processing, storage, and transportation of food that ultimately goes to waste still consumes natural resources and other inputs, while also releasing greenhouse gases and other pollutants that stem from the food system. For example, the study points out that the production of wasted food consumes over 25 percent of all freshwater used in the U.S. and around 300 million barrels of oil.

Now the Romney campaign is taking on the potential political problem posed by Bain Capital. And he's doing it head-on. The head of Staples is testifying to Romney's dedication to making that company the great success it became. He includes a nice reference to the importance Romney gave to providing day care for the children of Staples employees, at a time when this was not so common.
However, the Staples guy becomes too partisan. Just state the facts that put Romney and Bain in a great light, please.
Now others are bringing it back to the facts. I think that anyone who watches this segment of the convention will find it difficult to think of Romney as a "vampire capitalist."

Commentators on several networks have started pointing fingers at Bush Adminsitration "officials" who predicted that the going in Iraq would be easy. Putting aside the fact that these predictions cannot yet said to be erroneous, the individuals accused of making them are not Administration officials. One is Ken Adelman who apparently used the term "cakewalk" in an article written more than a year ago. To my knowledge, Adelman holds no position in the Adminstration. The other — Richard Perle — sits on (and until recently chaired) a committee that advises the Defense Department. Attempts to attribute these predictions to the Bush Administration would be funny were they not so vicious.

Within the framework of this wilderness experience, it is our goal to provide a challenging as well as supportive experience to all those involved. The responsibility to challenge and support will not be placed solely upon the guides and leaders, but upon each participant.
In the context of the wilderness, each participant will be encouraged to examine his/her assumptions, priorities, values, commitments and self-imposed limitations. Each student has the opportunity to emerge from this process with a stronger and more personalized sense of values and commitments, a greater awareness and celebration of their own strengths, and the knowledge that their limitations need not keep them from succeeding.
- Students will develop a better understanding of their spiritual, physical, emotional and mental limits and strengths through experiencing safe yet challenging elements in community and solitude.
- Leaders will gain a better appreciation for God's creation and what their responsibility is in being effective stewards of the creation.
- Participants will become better-rounded leaders by leading their peers and receiving constructive feedback on things they can improve.
- Students will learn wilderness skills that will enable them to invest more fully within the group and gain confidence in their abilities to learn and master unfamiliar tasks.
- Participants will gain a better understanding of what it means to participate in Sabbath and rest and the value of solitude.

OAKLAND, Calif., May 1 (UPI) -- Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick hit solo home runs Wednesday, powering the Los Angeles Angels over Oakland 5-4.
With the score tied 2-2, Trout led off the sixth with a long blast to left field off Athletics starter Tommy Milone that landed well up into the second deck. One out later, Trumbo sent a liner over the left-field scoreboard that was initially ruled a double, but changed to a home run after a video review.
Albert Pujols added a sacrifice fly in the eighth that provided the eventual game-winning run. Kendrick finished 3-for-4 with a bases-empty blast in the second for the Angels, who avoided a three-game sweep.
C.J. Wilson (3-0) overcame five walks to notch the victory, yielding two runs on six hits while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings.
Ernesto Frieri came on to record a five-out save, his fourth of the season, after the Los Angeles bullpen coughed up two late runs.
Milone (3-3) fanned 10 but was touched for four runs on seven hits over seven frames.
Adam Rosales went 3-for-4 with an RBI while Josh Donaldson, Nate Freiman and Luke Montz each drove in a run for the A's.

According to this report on WorldNetDaily, Barack Obama delivered a speech in which he said:
We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
The speech took place in Colorado Springs on July 2. Press accounts of the speech did not include this startling remark, perhaps because it was not contained in the prepared text that the campaign distributed. But this YouTube of the event does (the quote comes between minute 16 and minute 17):
Hugh Hewitt views this as Obama's latest "pratfall" and a sign of his inexperience. Ed Morrissey finds Obama's meaning to be unclear and calls for an explanation. Both, I think, underestimate the sinister quality of Obama's comment, the meaning of which seems clear enough.
I'm not suggesting that Obama would actually try to establish a domestic security force as powerful as our current military, only that deep-down it appears he wouldl like to do something of the kind. That impulse seems like a threat to our freedom regardless of whether Obama attempts to hatch the full-blown object of his fantasy.
UPDATE: Obama's "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as our military reminds of the " mammoth. . .military" force that Obama's friend a fomer adviser Samantha Power wanted to inject into territory controlled by Israel.
Liberals aren't less militaristic than the rest of us. They just differ as to who it is that needs to be confronted by our forces.

France: Mali hostage was shot to death
PARIS (AP) — The Paris prosecutor's office says an autopsy shows that a French hostage found dead in Mali was killed by a shot to the head.
Frenchman Philippe Verdon was kidnapped in 2011 with an associate. Earlier this year, al-Qaida's North Africa arm claimed responsibility for his death. But Verdon had been known to be in ill health, and some had speculated that his death was related to pre-existing conditions.
Verdon's body was found in early July near the northern Mali town of Tessalit, and brought back to France this week. The Paris prosecutor's office announced the autopsy results Thursday.
Several other French citizens remain hostages in the region, where French troops intervened this year against al-Qaida-linked extremists who had taken over northern Mali.

Hello all.
This is my very first post and having been on forums before related to music I will try and be as informative as possible to get the best advice and 'try not be ' that annoying newb forum users don't like to help.
I am a musician who has just got the bug for video. I am planning on buying the list below and will be shooting for
Documentary/interviews/music gigs/nursing homes etc
Weekly fishing show on a bass boat
Possible local business commercials
just fun fun fun videos with my 3 daughters,
One side note is on top of the gear listed below I have a full blown professional audio studio at home. I will be editing movies in Sony Vegas Pro 13 (only because it's all I've ever known, but was recently told about Magix as well)
Here is the potential list
Panasonic GH4 (with extra battery and memory cards)
Lumix GX Vario 12-35mm (was told good starter overall lense)
Magnus VT-4000 Tripod System
Sennheiser MKH-60 ( I have many top end condenser, dynamic, pencil, ribbon mics, none are shotgun )
Rycote Softie Kit for microphone
Here is where I lose it
Either: Tascam DR-60D PLUS Sound Devices 302 mixer
Sounds Devices 702 alone.
I also should mention, not sure if I can use but I own a Nikon D7100 with kit lense of 18-105mm 3.5 and a 50mm 1.4
That's all I can think of to ask. I know it's long but I would appreciate ANY advice before plunking down this type of money.
Thank you in advance

Double Door
1572 N. Milwaukee Ave. 773-489-3160
It's not the prettiest space in the city, and some of the rock acts can creep toward the "generic" label. Still, DD has been home to early shows from acts such as Kid Rock and The Killers; In '97, the Rolling Stones played a secret show—marquee: "Rolling Stones: One Night Only—$7."
2011 W. North Ave. 773-278-6600
At this Wicker Park bar smack in the hopping intersection of North/Damen/Milwaukee, DJs spin on the first floor and rock/hip-hop acts—both local and up-and-coming touring artists—usually perform in the second-floor Cabaret Room. Once upon a time, Subterranean was a brothel, which is hinted at in details like a Tiffany chandelier hanging from the ceiling--not exactly a rock club staple.
Reckless Records
1532 N. Milwaukee Ave. 773-235-3727
Few people are buying CDs anymore, and even fewer stores are buying back those discs you don't want. One of Chicago's best exceptions is this Wicker Park shop (with other locations at 3126 N. Broadway in Lakeview and 26 E. Madison St. in the Loop), a spinoff of the original Lakeview location that opened in 1989. At Reckless, you have a reasonable shot at selling or trading (or just buying) records, DVDs, CDs, video games or catching the occasional in-store performance.
Empty Bottle
1035 N. Western Ave. 773-276-3600
Technically, this beloved indie rock club isn't in Bucktown or Wicker Park (on the east side of Western Avenue south of Division Street, it's a few blocks into Ukrainian Village), but it's worth mentioning as an extension of its adjacent neighborhoods. The small space's dinginess is part of the reason people like it, as is the sense that you could see a buzz band for around $5 to $10 before they break out into bigger venues and higher prices (past before-they-were-stars acts: Passion Pit, Girl Talk). Monday shows are free, and beers aren't pricey.
1354 W. Wabansia Ave. 773-227-4433
Hideout is home to everything from low-key hoedowns to thoughtful folk-rock to improvisational jazz to the occasional dance party. Opened in 1934 as a tavern and hosting concerts since 1996, Hideout has historic Jack White- and Billy Corgan-related moments in its blood, and acts that would normally play larger venues still make a point to stop in from time to time.

Eugene McCarthy has always been a mysterious and frustrating figure. Nothing he did before 1968 hinted that he would become the liberals' antiwar leader and challenge an incumbent Democratic President; nothing he did after 1968 accomplished much of anything. Dominic Sandbrook skillfully conveys the events and the experience as well as the arguments of that year. Although he is a Shropshire lad born in 1974, Sandbrook argues like my father, born in Duluth in 1921 and a good Minnesota Democrat: He insists we focus on how the story of 1968 ended. The split among Democrats led by McCarthy ended up with Nixon in the White House. Nixon kept the war going for another five years, during which 15,000 more Americans were killed, and–we might add–during which Americans killed something like a million more Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians.
If '68 ended badly, it began with "a triumph of heroic magnitude"–Newsweek's description of McCarthy's showing in the New Hampshire primary that February. The senator from Minnesota had been the only one willing to challenge Lyndon Johnson, to make Vietnam the issue in the upcoming presidential election. Although McCarthy didn't win the popular vote–he got 42 percent in the Democratic primary–he did win twenty of the state's twenty-four convention delegates. Johnson saw the writing on the wall, and rather than lose to McCarthy a few weeks later in the Wisconsin primary, he announced he was withdrawing from his own re-election campaign. Nothing like it had ever happened before in American politics, and nothing has since.
There are some surprises, Sandbrook shows, in the story of McCarthy's 1968 triumph in New Hampshire: First, the vote for McCarthy was not primarily an antiwar vote. Exit polls suggested that most voters didn't know where he stood on it. That's because his TV ads made it impossible to tell whether he was for or against the war. Pollsters concluded that "his vote was an anti-Johnson vote, not an antiwar vote." Voters were anti-Johnson because of urban riots and "crime in the streets" as well as because of Vietnam.
Another surprise: the media liked McCarthy in New Hampshire in 1968. In the Democratic primaries this year, the media killed Howard Dean after he led a youthful antiwar insurgency within the party that had some similarities to McCarthy's. But back in 1968, the national press was "extremely generous" to McCarthy–Sandbrook couldn't find any hostile coverage. He doesn't try to explain why.
In addition to the surprises, there are also some secrets behind the 1968 McCarthy campaign. The first is that it was not a grassroots, shoestring volunteer effort. In fact, it was the most expensive and best-financed campaign in the history of Democratic primaries until that time. McCarthy's money came primarily not from small donations but rather from big contributors–especially from Wall Street. Why so many on Wall Street wanted to dump Johnson in favor of an antiwar liberal is a question Sandbrook does not consider. The five biggest contributors, at $100,000 each, included Martin Peretz, then a young Harvard instructor married to the Singer sewing machine heiress, and later publisher of The New Republic; he would remain a supporter of McCarthy's presidential campaigns on and off for the next twenty years.
