Appalachian Transition
Eastern Kentucky is rich in human, ecological and natural resources. Our people, coal and land have contributed much to the nation's economy and culture – often at great sacrifice. Now we face new challenges. Coal production and employment have been dropping for decades, and those trends are accelerating.
Today, right now, we must seize opportunities to begin a just transition to a more diverse, sustainable and thriving economy in the mountains. We have many inspiring ideas and examples to build on. We can nurture new businesses and grow new jobs in promising areas like clean energy, sustainable forestry and agriculture, and tourism. But it's going to take all of us working together.
When we listen to each other and move beyond fear, we can develop a shared vision. Change for the better in eastern Kentucky will require creativity, sustained investment, good policies, community involvement, and courageous, accountable leadership.
On these pages you'll find ideas and resources for promoting a just economic transition in Appalachia.

1. Blower motor does not work on any settings. What could be wrong? Maybe just a fuse? Fuse box location?
2. Due for 120,000 service but I only use the car occasionally when needed to shop and move things as it is 3rd car -- not my primary driver. What should I REALLY do rather than what the Honda dealer wants to sell?

First up was Christmas Day lunch. It was a delicious cold spread, consisting of lobster, prawns with avocado cream, ham, pork, tomatoes topped with pesto and bocconcini, cucumber topped with crab, fresh crusty bread, Christmas cake, pudding, fresh berries, custard and cream. Wow - I am full again just thinking about it! We spent lunch time relaxing with BF's family (those that were still in the country!) and drinking a lot of wine!
Then came Christmas Day dinner! We set off to my parents' house, where the three courses are always eaten at a relaxed pace, as they know we are all already stuffed from lunch!
Entree was a simple, yet delicious salad of mixed leaves, pinenuts, cherry tomatoes, proscuitto and goats' fetta. The leaves and tomatoes were fresh from the garden that afternoon!
We followed this with dessert of more pudding and custard! And Christmas night always ends still sitting at the dinner table 5 hours after we started eating, drinking wine and laughing the night away.
The third Christmas meal was with the extended family - and was a HUGE buffet of roast pork, ham, Lebanese sausages, marinated chicken, whole snapper with tahini, four different salads, roast potatoes, mango salsa, apple sauce... the list goes on and on. The best part of this day was meeting my new cousin Belle, born just a few weeks before Christmas!
Our trip home was packed with fun, food, family and friends. Along with the above, there were BBQ's, yum cha, cricket... it goes on! I'm glad to see that all of you had a great time this Christmas, and hope that the new year brings you all health and happiness!

My name is Jeremiah Harris, I am the founder and president of the Colorado Carnivorous Plant Society. The CCPS was started February of 2003 with the hope to meet other carnivorous plant enthusiasts in Colorado.
I have been growing carnivorous plants
(CP) since 1992. I now grow over 500 different carnivorous plants of nearly
every genus. My favorite genus of CPs are Nepenthes, also called tropical
pitcher plants. I grow my plants in two greenhouses, one is 8' x 12' and the
other is 8' x 16, I also have a 4' greenhouse window, a freezer converted to
an ultra-highland grow chamber, a lowland grow chamber and a few terrariums.
Some of the hardier CP I move outside for the summer.

The reports are that Sir Alex is drooling over Karem Benzema and has made signing him a priority this summer. He saw an electrifying Benzema stick it to Man U before Tevez bailed them out again.
Jean Michel Aulas, Lyons owner and one of the shrewdest deal makers, says bring it on. He is used to smelling desperation in the morning. After all he made Roman Abramovich sweat bullets over the Michael Essien deal. Expect the same for Benzema.
But Aulas is being himself. What really gets your goat is Sir Alex prostrating himself to get Benzema. It was not so long ago when Gallas' equalizer got his lips flapping over the demise of the English game, blaming it on Wenger and his damn foreigners. He led a chorus of managers who said the same. A nice photo op with Sepp Blatter establishing quotas followed. It made you think the saviour of the English game was going to go to Shropshire to sign the first person with boots on. Yeah, right.
Can we kill this meme. Sir Alex is as interested in saving English soccer as Dylan Thomas was in keeping a story straight.

Ludwig Beethoven Love Letter
July 6, 1806
My angel, my all, my very self -- only a few words today and at that with your pencil -- not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon -- what a useless waste of time. Why this deep sorrow where necessity speaks -- can our love endure except through sacrifices -- except through not demanding everything -- can you change it that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine?
Oh, God! look out into the beauties of nature and comfort yourself with that which must be -- love demands everything and that very justly -- that it is with me so far as you are concerned, and you with me. If we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I!
Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other; moreover, I cannot communicate to you the observations I have made during the last few days touching my own life -- if our hearts were always close together I would make none of the kind. My heart is full of many things to say to you - Ah! -- there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all -- cheer up -- remain my true, only treasure, my all as I am yours; the gods must send us the rest that which shall be best for us.
Your faithful,
More love letters

Last week Alan Ng reported that 114,000 Apple iPad users had their email addresses hacked –this has now got the attention of the Feds as an FBI Investigation begins. They will now assess the level of threat of this leak and how it happened.
It is just the 3G version of the iPad that was affected, but there were many high profile users that had information stolen, these include: Dow Jones, Condé Nast, NASA, NYT, Members of the U.S. Senate and House, Viacom, HBO, Time Warner and many more. The complete list can be seen on an MSNBC post written by PC World writer Brennon Slattery.
The FBI investigation came about because of a group of hackers who managed to find a flaw with the AT&T website – allowing them to make off with details of iPad owners. Thankfully the hole in the security has now been plugged, but not before the information of 144,000 users had been stolen.
The company who found the security hole was Goatse, they then gave them to Valleywag, a website owned by Gawker. This is ironic as this is the company, who owns Gizmodo, this would have opened up old wounds. For more information on this story, read the MSNBC article via the link above.

by Riyaj Shaik of Associate-it.comWebsite promotion is an art. As a webmaster, I spend most of my time promoting my sites. Without a big budget you cannot promote a site overnight. Most webmasters don't have a big budget. So, they have to do it the hard way.* Keep promoting it day in and day out.* Try different options.* Use trial and error to determine what works.* Spend countless hours to arrive at good places to promote the site.Over the years I have promoted my sites at hundreds, if not thousands, of different places online, some good, some not so good. I want to share with you the 10 best places to promote your site so that you won't spend as many hours as I have in finding them.Before You Start Promoting Your SiteBe sure to create and include Meta tags on every page. Also, don't use all of the free submit utilities on the same day since many of them submit to the same search engines. Wait at least one week before you use the next utility. You may want to open an email account on hotmail or another of the free email services and use that email address if you plan to submit to free for all links since many send a confirmation email, or add you to a mailing list.The Big Ten1. Self-Promotion: This is the best place to start promoting your site. And best of all it is free to use. However, for only $10, you can have your data stored for one year so that you can promote your site over and over without retyping the information. Self-promotion allows you to promote your site to over 400 different search engines, indexes, business directories, international indexes, directories and awards.http://www.selfpromotion.com2. Jim Tools: This is another free utility that promotes your site to 400 search engines and indexes and over 200 Free-For-All (FFA) links pages. Do not use Self-Promotion and Jim Tools in the same week since many of the search engines and indices are same. Compared to Self-Promotion, Jim Tools takes a lot less time to submit to 400 search engines and indexes.http://www.jimtools.comThe two free utilities above let you submit one URL to 400 different search engines and indices at a time. However, in some cases submitting your home page URL alone isn't enough. You have to "deep submit" your site. Deep submit is nothing more than submitting each and every page of your site. If you have 100 pages in your site, then you must use the above free, utilities 100 times to submit all of them. (Deep submission is possible with Self-Promotion's paid service.) But don't worry. You can use the following deep submit utilities to submit multiple URLs at the same time.3. Associate-it Free Submit: This free utility lets you submit all the pages in your site at one time to 24 major search engines. All the submissions are done in real time, you can watch the submission results as they happen. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the number of different pages you are submitting, this may take any where between three minutes to a few hours. The good thing is that you can start the submission and then surf the Net as usual in a different browser window.http://www.associate-it.com/html/main/300free/4. The Promoter: This is similar to Associate-it Free Submit, but it will submit multiple URLs to 800 search engines, indices, FFA pages, classifieds, etc. at one time. This works much like Associate-it Free Submit. You can start the submission and then browse the Net in a different window. The Promoter also notifies you when it's time to resubmit your site.http://www.thepromoter.com/5. Announce-it USA: One more free utility that submits multiple URLs to 300 search engines, indices, FFA links, classifieds, etc. at one time. This works like Associate-it Free Submit and The Promoter. You can start the submission and then surf the Net in a different browser window. http://www.announceitamerica.com/The_Announce-O-MaticBy using the five utilities above, you have submitted your site to most of the search engines and indices. It may take anywhere between three weeks to six months for your site to be indexed.6. Open Directory: Recently, when Netscape purchased NewHoo, the Open Directory, I was quick to submit my site to be included. The only complaint I have with the Open Directory Project is that the editor in the category you are trying to submit your site to may be your competitor and may try to list your site lower in the list. But you can submit your site to three or four different categories if it belongs. Recently, Lycos and HotBot adopted the Open Directory, so getting listed with the Open Directory may bring you a lot of traffic.http://home.netscape.com/escapes/search/about.html7. Direct Hit: A lot of search engines like HotBot, MSN and others have recently adopted the Direct Hit search technology. Getting listed with Direct Hit may also bring in considerable amount of traffic, but your site has to be somewhat popular.http://www.directhit.com8. GoTo.com: Even though it is not free, GoTo.com can bring targeted traffic to your site at a low cost. To get listed with GoTo.com you have to open an account with a minimum of $25, then bid on keywords that you would like to target. The minimum bid for each keyword is $0.01. I would recommend bidding $0.01 on 500-1000 keywords related to your site. You can bid high on 5-10 keywords that are really important to your site and bid $0.01 on others.To generate 500-1000 keywords related to your site, use Jim Tools keyword generator at http://www.jimtools.com. If you type in two or three keywords related to your site, the keyword generator searches the web for similar sites and compiles list of keywords by reading their Meta tags. Usually, if you bid on 1000 keywords, you will get between 75-100 hits a day.http://www.goto.com9. Yahoo!: Even though getting listed on Yahoo is a pain and it may take up to six months, most sites get the majority of their traffic from Yahoo!. Also try submitting to Yahoo! Local or International if your site fits. If you submitted your site to Yahoo! and nothing happened for four or five weeks, try submitting again in the same category, or maybe in a different category. You can get good tips on how to get listed on Yahoo! at search engine forums at http://www.searchengineforums.com. Do what ever you have to do, but get listed on Yahoo!.http://www.yahoo.com10. PRweb: Press releases are one of the most effective ways to generate traffic to your site. If written well, they can be very effective. Over 90 percent of press releases are sent out by the companies or sites trying to generate traffic or publicity. Write a press release and distribute it free of cost using Prweb.http://www.prweb.com/submit.htmIf you would like to add other good places to promote a website to this list, please send them to me. I will try to add them.About the Author:Riyaj Shaik, President & CEO, Associate-it.com: The ultimate directory of affiliate programs.

Google Announces Nexus 7 tablet, 7″, quad-core, made by Asus, Android 4.1
- 1
Google has announced the Nexus 7 tablet, a 7″ device running Android 4.1 and made by Asus. It has a Tegra 3 quad-core chip with a 12-core GPU, 1280×800 HD display.
It also features WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC, with a nine hour video playback battery life. It also has a front-facing camera. It weighs 340 grams.
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
The Nexus 7 tablet is clearly a Kindle Fire competitor that Google says is designed to display Google Play content like magazines, movies and more in the best way possible.
The Nexus 7 ships with Chrome as its official browser – the first Nexus device to do so. The tablet also features dynamic widgets that help you discover content to buy right from the home screen. There is a 'music match' widget, for instance, that lets you identify a song much in the way that Shazam does.
There is a new Google Maps experience shipping with Nexus 7 that allows you to see inside locations that you're traveling to. It also displays a variety of information about the location hovering over the map. The interior views can be displayed in compas mode as well, allowing you to take a virtual tour of certain interiors.
More to follow.

Term: Wicker Man
Wicker Man: According to the Roman writers Tacitus and Julius Caesar, Druids performed human scarifies by placing people in giant wicker cages formed in human shape and then set them afire, allowing the victims to roast slowly as a sacrifice to the Gods. The idea became well know due to a 1973 movie by Robin Hardy which remain both popular and controversial among Neopagans. The movie was remade in 2006 by Neil LaBute and is generally disliked by Neopagans and film critics.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Good News on Cycling my 55 Gallion!
Good News on Cycling my 55 Gallion! If anything looks incorrect here, please tell me...I will be posting my findings on my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate over the next couple weeks...I can't wait to put more fish in once my cycling has finished! :) February 2nd 2008- Ammonia 0 Nitrite 1.0 (First Findings!) Is this too high? :/ I can't do a water change right now :/ but I will tommorow if need be. Nitrate 5.0 (First Findings!) Thank you so much guys for pleading me to stick with it as I was getting a little suspicious/worried as to why I didn't have nitrite/nitrate coming up on three weeks, but thank you so much :) Anyway...wow I'm quite happy or such a small thing probably to such experienced aquarist but anyway...my question(s) :P -How long would you project that I have left if it's taken about 3 weeks to get to this stage? -Will 2 angels be ok w/ barbs and a Red Finned Shark? |
Yay, you finally have some readings. Are you cycling with the fish listed in your tank sig? With fish in the tank and having a trite reading of 1.0 I'd do a water change, but that's just me. I wouldn't mix tiger barbs with angels as barbs can be very nippy and an angel's fins are a perfect target. I don't know anything about redtail sharks but plenty of people here do! |
I am very happy for you! Its always exciting to see a nitrite reading when you are trying to cycle a tank. I have found things to go fast from there. All my tanks have cycled in about a week after seeing nitrites. With that shark in there, I would try to keep the nitrites as low as possible. I have done fish cycles with lots of water changes and did not feel it made the tank take longer to cycle. |
the only way to get the angels is to ditch the barbs. |
My barbs really dont bother anyone, but they are in a larger group. I would go ahead and set up the 20gal, so if you see problems, you will be prepared to move the barbs. When introducing the angles, I would feed the fish as a distraction, or better yet leave the lights turned out. There is a good chance it will not work out, have everything ready in case you need to move them. |
I had 6 tiger barbs in my tank and i introduced 6 cherry barbs and they chased the heck out of them. 3 died. So now i have 6 tiger and 3 cherry, i introduced 6 green barbs. 3 die. They attack anything in the water. I distracted them with food, once they were done eating they attacked. |

A is for Avatar
To join the virtual world that is Second Life (SL), "residents" must first create an avatar - a graphical representation of themselves. Most stay human and use the range of clothing, hair style and body shape options that most closely match their own. Others morph into robots, animals or mythical creatures. Inevitably most users "sex up" their appearances. SL's creator, Philip Rosedale, appears in a figure-hugging black t-shirt adorned with an enormous pair of lips and a leather chaps that reveal a snazzy pair of multi-coloured briefs.
B is for Building
Once you've created your avatar and explored the brave new SL world, you start making things. Everything in the 3-D world is made up of prims - the building blocks of SL. There are grass prims, clothing prims, and prims that make up buildings. Using a complex set of tools, users "rez" prims into objects.
C is for Camping Job
There's money to be made in SL and the easiest way to earn a few dollars - or Linden Dollars (see Dollars, Linden) - is to "camp". Camping jobs usually involve no more than hanging around, or even just sitting in a specific area in exchange for 10-20 Linden Dollars per hour.
D is for Dollars, Linden
SL has its own economy and currency - the Linden Dollar (L$), named after Linden Labs, SL's creator (see Linden). Residents can earn money by doing jobs, selling goods or services through virtual businesses, holding events or playing games. Money even grows on trees - established residents make donations for "newbies" to get started, or businesses plant money trees outside their premises to attract customers. Residents can buy Linden Dollars through the LindeX Currency Exchange, where the exchange rate yesterday stood at 267.1L$ to the US dollar. Those who make virtual money, can exchange it back for real money (see Millionaire).
E is for Estates
Residents who build can collaborate with like-minded users and create estates. These "gated enclosures" are regions that often have a particular set of rules, such as banned users or even the position of the Sun (in SL everything can be changed).
F is for Fashion
As SL has developed residents have become more conscious about the appearance of their avatars and have developed new ways to personalise them. Inventive hackers have tweaked the software to allow residents to adopt realistic skin and get tattoos. Other enterprising residents have developed ways to "build" new hair and shoes using prims - the SL building block (see Building).
G is for Griefing
Residents who bother or harass other people are called griefers and in doing so they violate SL "community standards". One recent example involved the sudden appearance of giant pink virtual penises - or "griefing genitalia", as they became known - which began hovering over several locations in SL. The regularly abusive are sent to prison, where they sit in a cornfield and are made to watch 1950s public service announcements.
H is for Help Island
"Newbie" residents being griefed or struggling with prims and Linden Dollars can visit Help Island at any time, where established residents volunteer as mentors and answer questions.
I is for IBM
The computer giant is one of a growing group of businesses to cash in on SL, where virtual dollars can be exchanged for the real thing (see Dollars, Linden). Last month IBM built 12 new islands in SL, where clients and the public can visit special projects, including a partnership with the US electronic retailer Circuit City. Together they have opened a virtual shop where potential real-world customers can view products. The firms have also experimented with an interactive home theatre, where residents can recreate their living rooms and choose the best TV to fit. One island includes a social area for 900 IBM residents and company alumni to swap ideas.
J is for Jimmy Carr
On 3 February the comic and TV presenter will give a stand-up routine simultaneously to a live audience at London Venue, and a crowd in SL. His performance will be filmed and impersonated in real time by a Jimmy Carr avatar. Just 100 people who win tickets given away in a competition on Carr's Myspace website will get to see the gig - half in the real world and half in SL.
K is for Kermit Quirk
Quirk (real name Nathan Keir) is a purple gecko with a shock of green hair. He became one of the stars of SL in 2004 when he invented Tringo, a cross between Tetris and bingo. Tringo is played throughout SL in casinos, nightclubs and special gaming rooms. Players gather around game units, which Quirk sells for $15,000 (about 56 real dollars). Residents keep intellectual property rights of anything they create in SL, so Quirk makes money and hit the big time last year when Tringo was licensed for the Game Boy Advance.
L is for Linden Lab
Named after the San Francisco street where the company was founded in 1999, Linden Lab is the company that created SL. The company's CEO, Philip Rosedale, first dreamt up the idea of a virtual world in 1991 (when it was called Linden World). Technology finally caught up and his dream became a virtual reality in 2003, when SL was launched.
M is for Millionaire
Nicknamed the "Rockefeller of Second Life", Anshe Chung (real name Ailin Graef) is a virtual property tycoon making real money. Last year she became the first SL resident to amass a $1m dollar fortune and makes an estimated $150,000 a year from her in-world real-estate business. Last May she appeared on the cover of Business Week and is credited with bringing millions of dollars in trade to SL, where she owns Dreamland, an entire continent. Resident in Germany, her company, Anshe Studios Ltd, employs more than 25 staff in her native China.
N is for Newsnight
Last year, the Newsnight business correspondent Paul Mason did a report on SL that was broadcast inside the virtual world. Mason and the Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman both appeared as versions of themselves and at one point Paxman's avatar danced on the Newsnight desk.
O is for OI, Orientation Island
It takes a while to get the hang of virtual life, but help is at hand to ease you in your second existence. There are tutorials to teach you how to make money, fly, and get on with the community. And a special building offers a host of freebies - houses, cars, clothes - to get you on your way. Once you have done the tutorials, you teleport to the mainland. But you can never go back.
P is for Population
SL boasts a population of 2.92 million but a closer look at the figures suggest a large proportion of visitors to the site create their avatar and leave. In the last week, more than 320,000 people have logged in and there are an estimated 100,000 regular users. Linden Lab CEO Philip Rosedale recently estimated "churn" (the number of users who don't use SL in any meaningful way) stands at about 90 per cent.
Q is for Quality Assurance
With so many people living alternate lives in SL, the complex virtual world is often vulnerable to bugs that can slow "play" to a crawl. Residents report problems to the SL quality assurance team, who list known bugs and try to keep the SL running.
R is for Reuters
The esteemed news agency raised eyebrows last October when it opened a virtual bureau in SL. The company's chief executive Tom Glocer joined the SL community in its early days. Glocer dispatched Adam Reuters to head up the virtual bureau. He is actually the Reuters media correspondent Adam Pasick and looks uncannily like his avatar, which includes a press pass. The top story on the Reuters SL News Centre website yesterday was an exclusive interview with the Easy tycoon Stelios Haji-Ioannou at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
S is for Sex
Some way into the SL community convention held in San Francisco last August a speaker stepped up the podium and introduced himself. "My name is Serpentine Stroker, and I am a pervert." Stroker, who is famous for creating avatar genitals and saucy animations is one SL entrepreneur who knows that sex sells even in the virtual world. Virtual prostitutes sell virtual sex to residents, who pay in Linden Dollars.
T is for Tax
As enterprising residents find ways to make real money in SL (see Millionaire), it was perhaps inevitable that virtual trading would prick the ears of the tax man. Last October the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress announced it would investigate the amount of commerce taking place in virtual worlds like SL. Money taken out of the game is taxable, but the Internal Revenue Service will decide whether it deserves a share of thefunds that remain virtual.
U is for Usability Island
The American software firm Useful Technology plans to build Usability Island to take advantage of the crowds circulating SL. The company wants virtual passers-by to enter booths on the island and test its software in exchange for Linden Dollars.
V is for Virtual Record
The Russian-American singer Regina Spektor became the first singer to release a virtual record last June when her fourth album Begin to Hope went on sale at the Regina Spektor Listening Loft a week before real-world fans could get their hands on it.
W is for Weekend, Big
Last year BBC Radio 1 "rented" a tropical island in SL. While real people attended the station's One Big Weekend event in Dundee, a crowd of virtual pop fans gathered on the island. As Franz Ferdinand, Pink and the Arctic Monkeys entertained the Dundee audience, the sound was put to a virtual performance in SL The event was hosted by an avatar of the DJ Chris Moyles.
X is for X-Men
Last May the Hollywood studio 20th Century Fox streamed live clips and extended trailers for X-Men: The Last Stand to a special SL screening during the Cannes Film Festival, where the film premiered. The event included a video message by, who plays Kittie Pryde in the movie.
Y is for Yellow Arrow
Described as "a kind of geographical blogging", the Yellow Arrow project aims to offer city dwellers an alternative tour of their environment. Anyone with something to point out can go online and buy a special yellow arrow sticker and place it at the site. The arrows include a mobile phone number, which passers-by can text to receive information.
Z is for Zymurgy
Before you create your avatar, you have to choose a name, and you can't change it. You get to enter any first name, but your second must be chosen from a list. The list changes but appears to include a sprinkling of celebrities (Blumenthal, Attenborough, Soderbergh) and some quirky offerings, including Widdershins, Fadoodle and Zymurgy.

How to make a beer can chicken
After nearly 6000 entries on this site, this is the first recipe I've ever posted. I learned how to make this from James. I subsequently showed it to Theo, and she kindly typed up the complete recipe.
"There-in Lies the" Rub
- Salt
- Mexican Herb mix (paprika, cumin, coriander)
- Bouquet (two springs fresh rosemary, four sprigs thyme, six sage leaves)
- Brown Sugar
- Each ingredient makes up a quarter of the whole mix.
- Add one quarter salt (or a little less if you don't like your beer can chicken too salty.)
- Add one quarter mexican herbs.
- Add one quarter bouquet herbs.
- Add one quarter brown sugar.
- Take a picture, post to Instagram, and then mix together.
The Stuffing
- "There-in Lies the" Rub
- Half-loaf of day-old bread
- 1 white onion
- 2 apples
- 2 big sticks of celery
- Olive oil
- Acquire a big bowl to place all the ingredients in.
- Cut bread into cubes.
- Cut onion into cubes or chunks.
- Dice apple into cubes.
- Cut celery into big pieces.
- Add a generate amount of olive oil and mix together in your bowl.
- Add five heaping table spoons of the "There in lies the rub" Rub (or whatever is left over from your Beer Can Chicken coating. More below.)
- Let sit until it's ready to go into the oven.
DB's BC Chicken Glove
- One five pound chicken
- One tall boy beer
- Olive oil (you'll need lots so don't worry if it's cheap)
- "There in lies the rub" Rub
- Set the oven to 350 degrees.
- Empty and rinse chicken (remove any of the guts).
- Take your tall boy beer, open, remove the tab, pour one-quarter out into a glass and enjoy.
- Punch some holes around the side, high up, maybe six. This is necessary if the top gets blocked and you want to avoid a beer can chicken bomb.
- Take a cookie sheet or oven pan and cover in aluminum foil.
- One person holds the chicken by placing their hand in the orifice — just like a chicken glove.
- Generously pour olive oil over the chicken, on both sides, while the other wears the "chicken glove" and rubs it into the chicken.
- Start spooning on the rub all over.
- Let the olive oil and spices catch and drip over the pan. It will only add to the stuffing flavour later on.
- Place the tall boy in place of the glass. Mount chicken over top. If you're lucky, the chicken's legs will touch the surface of the pan to form a solid tripod base.
- Carefully carry the pan over to the oven–the bird may be tipsy–and put it inside.
- Add stuffing to the bottom of pan and around chicken at one hour mark (you want the stuffing to cook for about 45 minutes).
- Cook 5 pound chicken for 1.75 hours or until done. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your chicken.
- Once ready, pull out of the oven and pierce the skin between the thigh and breast with a knife. If the juice that runs out is clear, it's ready to eat. If it's pink, more cooking still needs to be done.
- Take a length of aluminum foil and wrap around the standing chicken to keep the heat and moisture in for 15 minutes while it sits.
- When ready, pull the chicken off the beer can–this part is trickier than it sounds–and carve.
This meals goes nicely with beer, wine, and a beet and goat cheese salad. Appetizers should include French cheese, sausage, and artichokes dipped in mayonnaise.

In this edition of our newsletter, we review recently enacted employment statutes and significant amendments to existing employment law. There are new requirements relating to employee personnel files, wage statements and public postings. Amendments have been made to discrimination statutes relating to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and religious dress. Wage and hour statutes regarding commissions and overtime have been enacted. An employer is now prohibited from requiring or requesting an employee's or applicant's username or password in order to access social media such as Facebook and Twitter. If you have any questions regarding the new legislation and/or the impact it may have on your business, please feel free to contact our office.
Laura Flynn 415.981.6630 x255
Employees and former employees have always had the right to inspect their personnel files. These rights have been expanded and clarified by recent legislation.
• Upon request for review, current and former employees, or their representatives are entitled to inspect and receive a copy of their personnel records. "Representatives" making the request must be authorized to do so in writing by the current or former employee. (California Labor Code §1198.5(a)) • Personnel records must be made available and a copy provided no later than 30 days from the date the employer receives a written request unless the employee and employer agree to extend the deadline to 35 days. (California Labor Code §1198.5(b)) • All requests to inspect or receive personnel records must now be in writing. (Californa Labor Code §1198.5(b)(2)(A)) • Employers are required to maintain a copy of each employee's personnel records for no less than three years after termination. • Access to personnel records is now restricted in certain ways: 1) a former employee may only make one §1198.5 request per year; 2) an employer must only comply with 50 requests per month; and 3) employers may redact the names of any nonsupervisory employees contained in the records prior to inspection or copying. • The penalty for noncompliance is $750. An employee may also seek injunctive relief and request attorney's fees and costs in connection with any noncompliance action. (California Labor Code §1198.5(k)(l))
California Labor Code §§226 and 226.1 require certain information be included on itemized wage statements.
• Section 226(a)(9) now requires that wage statements issued by temporary service employers include the rate of pay and total hours worked for each temporary service assignment. (Security services companies that are licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs and solely provide security services are not bound by the new requirement.) • An employer may satisfy the record retention requirements by maintaining a copy of the itemized statement provided to an employee or a computer-generated record that accurately shows all of the information required by §226. • An employee suffers an injury under the Section if the employer fails to provide a wage statement; or fails to provide accurate and complete information as required by §226(a)(1)-(9) and the employee cannot "promptly and easily" ascertain the information without reference to other documents.
California Labor Code §980 prohibits an employer from requiring or requesting an employee or applicant for employment to disclose a username or password for the purpose of accessing personal social media, to access personal social media in the presence of the employer, or to divulge any personal social media. The Section also prohibits an employer from discharging, disciplining, threatening to discharge or discipline, or otherwise retaliating against an employee or applicant for not complying with a request or demand by the employer that violates California Labor Code §980. The Section does not affect an employer's existing rights and obligations to request an employee to divulge personal social media reasonably believed to be relevant to an investigation of allegations of employee misconduct or employee violation of applicable laws and regulations, provided that the social media is used solely for purposes of that investigation or a related proceeding. In addition, an employer can require or request an employee to disclose a username, password, or other method for purpose of accessing an employer-issued electronic device.
AB 2343 requires any authorized entity or individual that receives "[s]tate summary criminal history information" or subsequent arrest notification information from the California Department of Justice to expeditiously provide a copy of the information to the person to whom the information relates if the information is a basis for an adverse employment, licensing or certification decision. "State summary criminal information" is a master record summary of information gathered by California's attorney general pertaining to the identification and criminal history of any person (such as the name, physical description, fingerprints, dates of arrests and charges against that person).
Pursuant to newly enacted Civil Code §52.6, by April 1, 2013, specified businesses and other establishments, including adult or sexually oriented businesses, airports, bus stations, truck stops, urgent care centers and roadside rest areas, must post a notice that contains information related to slavery and human trafficking, including information regarding toll-free hotlines that provide access to help and services. A model notice will be prepared by the Department of Justice. The notice is to be in English, Spanish, and in one other language that is the most widely spoken language in the county where the establishment is located. A business establishment that fails to comply will be liable for a civil penalty of $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense.
All employers that pay "commissions" to employees working in California will be required to supply their employees with written contracts setting forth the formula for determining the commission as well as the method of payment. Employers must also keep a signed receipt of the contract for each employee. Under California's Labor Code Private Attorney General Act, employers that violate the law may be fined $100 per employee per pay period for the first violation and $200 per employee per pay period for subsequent violations. (California Labor Code §2751)
Labor Code §515 was amended to clarify that payment of a fixed salary to a nonexempt employee shall be deemed to provide compensation only for the employee's regular, nonovertime hours, notwithstanding any private agreement to the contrary. The amendment was enacted to overturn the decision of Arechiga v. Dolores Press (2011) 192 Cal.App.4th 567. Arechiga determined that an explicit mutual wage agreement under which a nonexempt employee's fixed salary compensated him for both regular and overtime worked was lawful.
The FEHC has been eliminated and its duties transferred to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Previously, if the DFEH decided to pursue a charge of discrimination or harassment, the matter was referred to the FEHC, which had the power to conduct administrative hearings, including the ability to subpoena witnesses, publish opinions and conduct mediations at the request of the DFEH. SB 1038 eliminates this administrative hearing process. In the future, the DFEH will be able to file civil actions on behalf of a complainant directly with the court. Mandatory dispute resolution is required prior to the DFEH bringing a civil action. If the dispute resolution fails, the DFEH may file in civil court and will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs when successful. The post-enactment analysis from the State indicates a prevalent focus on pre-litigation resolution.
California employers with five or more employees must make Pregnancy Disability Leave ("PDL") available to employees. Effective December 31, 2012, amended regulations clarify and, in some instances, expand the PDL protections afforded to employees. Specific changes to the regulations include:
• A change in the definition of "four months." The amended regulations provide examples of how to calculate the four-month period if the employee works less than a full-time schedule or works a variable schedule. • An expanded definition of when a woman is "disabled by pregnancy." The revised definition includes such examples as post-partum depression and time off for "loss or end of pregnancy." • Clarification of an employer's responsibilities regarding reasonable accommodation or transfer of employees affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. • Clarification of the medical certification and documentation process. • An expansion of protections to include that it is unlawful to discriminate against or harass an applicant or employee based on "perceived pregnancy." Perceived pregnancy is defined as being regarded or treated by an employer as being pregnant or having a related medical condition. • Mandatory changes to notices "A" and "B," which provide information for employees about their rights and responsibilities under pregnancy disability leave (Notice "A") and the California Family Rights Act (Notice "B").
AB 2386 changes the definition of "sex" under FEHA to specifically include "breastfeeding and medical conditions related to breastfeeding." FEHA prohibits specified discriminatory employment practices on the basis of sex. The current definition of "sex" under FEHA includes pregnancy, childbirth and medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth, as well as gender, gender identity and gender expression. In response to the recent change, employers will need to change notices, postings and employee handbook policies related to preventing discrimination to reflect the changes specified by AB 2386. (California Government Code §12926)
On December 26, 2012, the Office of Administrative Law approved the Fair Employment and Housing Commission's disability regulations. The regulations became effective on December 30, 2012. The changes to the disability regulations include:
• An expansion of the definitions of "mental" and "physical" disability. • Clarification of what evidence might be used to show that a particular function is "essential" to a job. • A description of the interactive process and obligations of both the employer and the employee or job applicant. • A description of what constitutes a reasonable accommodation and specific examples, including a discussion of when a leave of absence might be an appropriate accommodation.
AB 1964 clarifies that FEHA's discrimination protections and reasonable accommodation requirements cover religious dress practices and religious grooming practices. AB 1964 amends Government Code sections 12926 and 12940 to provide the following definitions: • "Religious dress practice" is construed broadly to include the wearing or carrying of religious clothing, head or face coverings, jewelry, artifacts and any other item that is part of the observance by an individual of his or her religious creed. • "Religious grooming practice" is also to be construed broadly and includes all forms of head, facial and body hair that are part of the observance by an individual of his or her religious creed. Although employees must be reasonably accommodated, the law specifies that an accommodation is "not reasonable" if the accommodation requires segregation of the individual from other employees or the public. Employers do not have to accommodate an employee if it would create an "undue hardship" for the company.

Another Death of an L.A. Gay Man Tied to Meningitis
WeHo News is reporting that another gay men in the Los Angeles area recently died of bacterial meningitis, heightening concerns that the widely publicized death of West Hollywood resident and gay man Brett Shaad is not an isolated incident.
Downtown Los Angeles resident and gay man Rjay Spoon died from bacterial meningitis on December 16, 2012, according to WeHo News. He was only 30 years old. Spoon would have turned 31 on April 27.
Casey Hayden, Spoon's boyfriend at the time of the death, wrote on Facebook: "If anyone has any information as to where he could have been exposed, the [L.A. County] health department needs to know to help with this case. And again thank you all so much for everything. I know your hearts are hurting too over the loss of our beautiful, sexy man who is now our angel."
In a December 30, 2012, Reno Gazette-Journal obituary, Spoon was described as a "gifted vocalist and pianist and touched many lives with his music and exuberant love of life and gift of laughter."

Spoon was born in Portland, Oregon and moved to Reno with his family at the age of 4, the obituary states. Similar to Brett Shaad, Spoon was a high achiever with a bright future ahead of him.
Spoon was student body president at Wooster High School and active in the music and drama departments there. He then attended the University of Nevada studying art and film. After living in Seattle, he moved to Los Angeles where he became a leasing manager in luxury properties in the Los Angeles financial district, the obituary states.
Spoon was survived by his mother and father, one sister, and three brothers.
West Hollywood Councilman John Duran, who's been under fire for his handling of the Brett Shaad tragedy, received the news about Spoon's meningitis death from a constituent. Duran then passed along the information to WeHo News, editor Ryan Gierach tells L.A. Weekly.
Some in the gay community believe it would be wise for Duran to keep himself, and all the controversy that continues to surround him, out of the newest development of meningitis among gay men in L.A. so focus can be placed squarely on life-or-death public health issues with no distractions.
Gierach attended a press conference last week about the Brett Shaad case, which was held by Dr. Maxine Liggins of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Gierach says Liggins never discussed the Spoon case with reporters.
Liggins also did not reveal how many of the 13 meningitis cases that were reported in L.A. County last year involved gay men, according to Gierach.
It brings up a question of just how thoroughly L.A. County Public Health has been investigating Spoon's case. The highly publicized Shaad tragedy was a golden opportunity for Liggins to ask for help with the Spoon investigation.
So far, L.A. County public health officials have not made a push to vaccinate gay men, AIDS Healthcare Foundation president Michael Weinstein tells the Weekly. AIDS Healthcare Foundation, however, is providing free meningitis vaccinations at its Hollywood and West Hollywood pharmacies.

Hull have started their recruitment for the 2011 season by signing Harlequins winger Will Sharp on a two-year deal.
The 24-year-old, who was born in Nigeria and has spent his entire professional career with the Quins, is Hull coach Richard Agar's first signing for Super League 16.
He made his debut for the London club in 2008 after moving from the South London Storm, and he admits that the lure of moving to a top-four club was too strong to resist.
"I didn't want the opportunity to pass and wonder what if and I really want to test myself at Hull," said Sharp, whose initial deal also has the option of a third-year extension.
"When a club like Hull comes along with the potential to be a top-three team it is hard to ignore. They have top facilities, a great ground, a good squad and they're a top club and you can't ask for more as a player.
"That is no disrespect to Harlequins where I have really enjoyed myself, but this is a new challenge, a chance for me to show what I can do, score some tries and hopefully earn a spot in the England squad.
Sharp, who has been an ever-present for the Quins this season, has scored six tries in 26 appearances, with two of the touchdowns coming against Hull.
Agar claims that Sharp fits the bill in terms of the type of player he is looking to sign.
He said: "We are delighted we have secured the services of Will from 2011. He is a talented, young and ambitious player and we are pleased he thinks that Hull FC is the place to realise those ambitions.
"He has the ability to carry the ball well and has strength and speed which will be great assets for us next season and I don't think it will be long before he establishes himself as a crowd favourite at the KC Stadium."
Sharp's signing is likely to signal the end of Mark Calderwood's career at Hull.
The former England winger is out of contract at the end of the year and injury has restricted him to just four appearances this season.

MF Global, the commodities broker spun off from the UK's Man Group last year, has sacked a rogue trader whose unauthorised dealing in the wheat market cost the group $141.5m.
The company moved quickly yesterday to limit the fallout from the incident, which came just a few weeks after Société Générale's Jerome Kerviel put the rogue trader phenomenon back on the front pages.
The errant trader at MF Global was unmasked as Evan Dooley, a broker in its Memphis office, who placed large bets against the price of wheat, which has surged in the past week.
MF Global said the trades were bigger than Mr Dooley was allowed to place and were detected and unwound within hours on Wednesday morning. He has been dismissed, the trading system loophole that allowed Mr Dooley to act has been closed, and the company tapped its banks for $150m to replace the lost capital.
MF Global is a broker and does not trade with its own money, but some employees are allowed to trade on their own accounts and the company has had to step in to cover Mr Dooley's losses. "I'm afraid to say the individual concerned doesn't appear to be terribly long of assets," the chief executive, Kevin Davis, said yesterday. "This is an absolutely awful event, but an aberration."
The loss wipes out 6 per cent of the equity value of the company, but commodities regulators expressed their confidence in MF Global's financial position yesterday – and Mr Davis promised that managers would share the pain with shareholders. There will be "bonus pool sacrifices", he said. "Senior managers around the company will expect to feel this personally in their wallets, myself included."
Surprised by a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, Mr Dooley appeared to blame MF Global's IT systems. "The computer system failed on a lot of things" including "setting limits", he said.
MF Global hired outside IT contractors to review the security of its systems, and said internal trading terminals would now automatically set trading limits, even if that meant they ran slower. "We will sacrifice some efficiency for ultimate security," Mr Davis said.
The company's shares tumbled 20 per cent on the news, and are now 21 per cent below the price at which they were sold by Man Group in July.

Catty is honest but hates refunds and normally wont do them. Maybe ask her to exchange the bag instead. Did you speak to her before you sent the bag back letting her know that's what you were going to do?

Ok ladies, I really need your help and assisance. I purchased three bags from Catty last year and one was bad so asked her if I could return it and get a refund. I was happy with the other two. Naturally popped off down to the post office and paid for International signed for and sent it off. This was in January. Only to find out today from Royal Mail that they only track items UNTIL they leave the UK - so can give me no actual proof that its been signed for - and lone behold Catty is denying recieving it!
What do I do? As its been 7-8 weeks now I know its arrived - it took 2-3 weeks to get it to the UK can't imagine it takes more than double the time to get back to her, and I am pretty disappointed to be a couple of hundred out of pocket. Can anyone advise me on what to do? Ideally I want my refund! |

Saw this place on steepster and we went there today. Reviews are correct… the guy knows his stuff, and he and the woman (I assume they're a couple) are very friendly and nice. The teaware they've got seems reasonably priced, too, as are the offerings. I love the selection and the atmosphere… while I love Dobra in Burlington, I've always found the room crowded and tiny… this place has lots of room by comparison, which is a plus for me. It seems louder, but that's OK. I'll definitely be going back there on a more regular basis!!
