Reviews of this property
Good place,next to subway.Room was cleaned and bright.No kettle in the kitchen and hair dryer in bathroom.Poor bathroom,bath was really old.Towel and bed linen included.
Nice location - just next to the metro station Urquel. Medium standard flat/room with a very good price !!! Free wi-fi connection. Good contact with a host. We were really satisfied !!! :)
Hello, we had a nice stay in Madrid. The apartment was super for the price range.
The Vermieterinen were friendly and helpful. 'll Be back!
Hallo, wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Madrid. Das Apartment war für die Preisklasse Super.
Die Vermieterinen waren freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder!
It was an apartment that was indeed cheap.
The location is right next to a subway station, just outside the city center but with a fast connection
One less thing was that the bathroom was not very clean and the first 2 days the shower was very bad, we have something to say here, but that was only slightly improved in the third day.
For the rest it was a friendly host
Het was een appartement dat inderdaad goedkoop was.
De ligging is goed net naast een metrostation , iets buiten het centrum maar met een snelle verbinding
Een minder punt was dat de badkamer niet zo heel proper was en de eerste 2 dagen liep de douche heel slecht, we hebben hier iets van gezegd maar dat was pas een beetje verbeterd bij de 3 dag.
Voor de rest was het wel een vriendelijke host
We had a good stay, Roh has left his apartment, we regretted not able to chat a bit more with it but we do not speak Spanish and she did not speak French ... very good experience!
J. Betouigt.
Nous avons passé un bon séjour, Roh nous a laissé son appartement, nous avons regretté de pas pouvoir bavarder un peu plus avec elle mais nous ne parlons pas l'espagnol et elle ne parlait pas le français... très bonne expérience !

It was a very pleasant stay. Rosana, who owns and greeted us on arrival was very friendly and explained everything very well, also thanked warn us that we arrived late. While entering the building entrance and hallway are quite damaged, the apartment is beautifully decorated and is well nice. The location of the apartment is ideal, has three subway stations around and is just a few stops from the center.
Ha sido una estancia muy agradable. Rosana, propietaria y quien nos atendió al llegar, fue muy amable y nos explicó todo muy bien, también nos dio las gracias por avisar de que llegábamos con retraso. Aunque al entrar, la entrada del edificio y el pasillo estén bastante estropeados, el apartamento está muy bien decorado y es bien bonito. La situación del apartamento es ideal, tiene tres bocas de metro al rededor y está a pocas paradas del centro.
Cheap accomodation, near the city center and metro station . The owner help us also with buing a tickets for match. Everything was great. If you look for a cheap and nice accomodation, it's the best.
The apartment is close to the center and to the metro.
There are a lot of restaurants and supermarkets around. Its a nice place to stay in madrid.
I can highly recommend this place.

I looked on freshmeat, but amazingly I couldn't find any with the one "feature" I'm looking for: showing several photos together on the same page. All the programs I found were geared towards showing one photo at a time.
I was originally thinking about doing this in PHP; a language I don't know, but which seems to be a mishmash of languages I do know and is popular for webapps these days. I got the O'Reilly book Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL, but when I got to the part which described (and praised) using the PEAR HTML_Template_IT templating package. That made me think "If you're going to use templates, why use PHP? The whole language was developed around the idea of mixing program code with HTML."
I knew that using templates is good advice; at work I'm doing jsp stuff. Some of the old code uses scriptlets while the newer stuff is all tag libraries. The pages with scriptlets are like a train wreck of java and html!
I recently discovered the HTML::Template perl module and I'm think I'll be using that (along with CGI::Application) to write my new app, which I've tenatively decided to call photopage.
It will be pretty easy to just generate the pages of photos, but I might want to do some AJAXy thing to get photos from the following page downloaded in advance. I'll just do the dumb thing first, though.
I recently found this Firefox input method plugin for Indic languages, and I'm thinking that's a good approach for me. It would also be nice to just be able to enter accented characters and write peoples' European names correctly.
That's a much more interesting project than my dumb photopage one, but I don't have any pictures the most recent two months of my son's life online yet, and I don't want to get the real solution together instead of just putzing around with static html again (and again, and again ...) So photopage it is.

Newsweek's Fineman to discuss election
Tuesday, April 1, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · 16 Robertson Hall
Posted March 27, 2008; 12:40 p.m.
"Once in a Lifetime: The Election of 2008" is the title of a lecture by Howard Fineman, Newsweek magazine's senior White House correspondent, set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Fineman, who writes Newsweek's "Living Politics" column, also is a senior editor and deputy Washington bureau chief for the magazine and a political analyst for NBC News. He has interviewed and written about every president and major presidential contender since 1987.
Fineman's new book, "The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates That Inspire and Define Our Nation," will be published in late April.
The talk is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Learn how to fight as if you were taught by Kratos himself in the God of War: Ascension Multiplayer Beta, exclusive to PlayStation Plus.
Battle basics
Your first stop is the Rotunda of Olympus, where you learn the nitty-gritty of gruesome gladiator combat. Here you'll pick up vital techniques on special attacks, blocking, parrying and combos.
These early battles are essential to master, as the computer-controlled opponents are a lot more forgiving than other fellow gamers you'll face in the multiplayer modes. Don't be afraid to replay these training stages to brush up on your skills until you're confident of your battle prowess.
Choose your god wisely
Before you leave the Rotunda of Olympus, choose which god you'll pledge your allegiance to. In this Beta, you can pick between Zeus or the Greek god of war, Ares.
If you're a combo brawler who likes close combat, give Ares a try. You'll be blessed with defence-crippling fire magic and items to give you the edge in physical confrontations. However, if you prefer a more tactical fight, pick Zeus. With the Greek god of thunder and lightning on your side, you're able to call down powerful electrical magic to stun opponents, as well as use items which improve your defence.
The art of war
Victory is all about balancing attack and defence - going all out will only get you so far before you come up against an opponent who will overpower you. Parry regular attacks to stun your rival, and wear down stubborn blockers with throws and defence-smashing special moves. Quick attacks can get you out of a fix and swiftly dodging can earn you precious seconds and space to counter.
Essential arena awareness
Hercules' pit has wall spikes which you can slam your opponents into for extra damage. It can also give you time to collect any items or power-ups that materialise in the arena.
If you're feeling sneaky, you can push your foe out of the ring for a quick victory. Play it smart and you can lure a powerful enemy into attacking you while you're close to the edge of the arena. Then quickly roll out of the way as they start their combo and strike them from behind - gravity will do the rest...
Herculean hassles
Demigod Hercules isn't just a passive observer during your fight - he takes part in it, too. If he opens up the cave below his throne, rush inside to activate a trap switch. This rains down deadly arrows onto the arena and, hopefully, your hapless foe.
Also listen out for when Hercules screams in rage, as he'll leap down into the pit and create a devastating shock wave that can stun any warriors caught in it. Time your jump perfectly and you can take advantage of your opponents' carelessness.
Stick with it, Spartan
Even if you're getting hammered by a merciless adversary, don't quit the game. You'll get bonuses for completing the match, which you'll need to make your Champion stronger.
If you know there's no way to win the match, focus on completing achievements which can give your character a boost for future battles. Opening a specific number of red orb chests or grabbing special treasure can help improve your Champion, letting you buy armour, weapons and items before your next match.
Join PlayStation Plus and download the action-packed God of War: Ascension Multiplayer Beta at no added cost from PlayStation Store today. If you're not yet a member of the value-packed PlayStation Plus service, find out how to subscribe here.

My dogs know when we are close to training gounds and when we get close to home.
My dogs know when we are close to training gounds and when we get close to home.
I approach where I live from 2 directions, conditions are different on both roads, yet before I turn down the dead end asphalt road to our place there is always a woof.
We owned a boarding kennel many years ago - a dog was dropped off in the PM so they people could leave on their trip the following morning - the dog was kenneled & we all went about our business. The dog beat the owner home, 14 miles, through traffic, he had torn the gate off it's hinges. I believe they have a homing instinct similar to homing pigeons. As long as we kept the dog from the gate he would not bother anything in the kennel.
We had a heeler who could sense when someone was approaching us who did not have our best interests in mind.
& a FT prospect that became a real dog, that went up on his toenails at his 1st puppy trial.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
I think that it has a lot to do with the level of excitement of the handler. When I am running a client dog I am cool as a cucumber and the dogs tend to act accordingly. On the other hand, when I am running a personal dog I am like a 17 year old girl on prom night and the dog acts accordingly as well. Same trailer, same kennel, same training. Who knows.
One of my dogs (Stella) is absolutely a different dog at a trial versus training. She is very compliant while training in a normal routine but also has very little interest. Not to the point of not doing the work with style but nonetheless much less powerful. The absolute best training she gets has been in the pre-national training week that she has received when we have qualified for national events. We come to the pre-nat'l training and it has the atmosphere of a trial - lots of dogs, flyers, tents up, judges in the chairs, a gallery, etc..but she is also wearing a collar so we get timely corrections too. Most important, she is required to go through 3 holding blinds (she hates it) - all akin to the example Chris gave in the initial post but it is a training environment & unlike weekend trials Stella peaks at trial time & stays on a high throughout - just like the pre-national training.
So the more you can make your training like a trial the better, IMO.
David Didier, GA
My first dog went every where with me . flying to visit, to work every day I was in (construction back then),,and on dates. We were literally inseparable. One weekend I left to go on an elk hunt and tied the dog up with a logging chain knowing he would try to escape. My room mates received a call the next day from the home owners where I had been working ,,,telling them that my dog was sitting in their front yard howling. This was about 3 miles from where I was living and I did not take the same route every day.
Years later I left the dog with a friend for a week because I could not take him with me. The dog escaped and went home 8 miles away where he was found by my friend.
Thats the condensed version
He was my first and a great bud for a teenage boy.

To find it, I just used the regular RTF search, clicked on advanced search.
For username I entered my name.
For the search field I typed "scent of a trial". Up it came as the first item in the search.

I always thought my dogs knew we were going to a hunt test when they saw me write a check
Great article - I agree that they know the difference between big training day and test/trial.

Walking a dirt road pheasant hunting we came on a set of tracks from right to left across the road. The wind was also from right to left so we were definitely upwind of any birds. What amazed me was my lab knew without any hesitation which direction the tracks were heading and turned to follow them.

Since I was sworn in as president of The Florida Bar, I have been living and breathing merit retention, during what unfortunately became a highly charged political process at times.
Now that Florida's voters have spoken and said "yes" to retaining three Supreme Court justices and 15 other appellate judges, it is important to reflect on what we learned in this process and what that teaches us for the future.
Clearly, we must continue our efforts to educate the public not only on the merit selection and retention process and why it is important to keep politics out of the system, but also to continue civics education on the separation of powers; the importance of an independent, fair, and impartial judiciary to our democracy; and the role judges must perform in resolving the disputes before them, regardless of the lack of popularity for certain parties or certain positions.
Thus, just because the 2012 general election is over does not mean The Florida Bar's educational efforts about merit retention should end.
While eschewing politics, we launched a vigorous statewide education program called "The Vote's In YOUR COURT — Judicial Merit Retention, Know the Facts," that included a website full of information, the distribution of more than 350,000 voter guides, public service announcements on public radio stations, a speakers' bureau, participation in Bar-sponsored and community events, social media campaigns via Twitter and Facebook, and an educational video on YouTube.
That is appropriate to carry out the Bar's role in advocating and educating on issues that impact the administration of justice, and that is fully consistent with the Bar's efforts in this regard in the past. Since the first merit retention election in 1978, The Florida Bar has provided consumers with biographical information on the judges and justices up for retention, and we have conducted a poll of members with results released to the news media.
Going forward, the Bar should continue and increase its merit retention education efforts because I have witnessed firsthand that the need for education, even among lawyers, is great. It's clear to me that merit retention is just not on the radar screen of many otherwise intelligent, well-meaning voters. I was talking to a young lawyer at one event, and she thought merit retention had to do with teacher's merit pay.
The whole experience has reinforced the need for educating the public — including lawyers — about nonpartisan merit retention elections and the role of judges and justices in our third, co-equal branch of government.
In the four months leading up to the election, I spoke to more than 14 newspaper editorial boards and at dozens and dozens of public meetings across the state. I've been interviewed by reporters for television, radio, newspapers, business publications, and magazines about the purpose of merit retention elections and why we have them in Florida.
Because The Florida Bar is a nonpartisan, mandatory-membership organization, I was careful never to tell people how to vote. But it was my duty to do what I could to educate people about why we have merit retention for our justices and appellate judges, and that merit selection and retention was enacted to address the corruption on the elected high court in the '60s and '70s.
I did my best to explain to people who have never set foot in a courtroom what the role of a fair jurist should be, if we are to ensure the judiciary is not beholden to anyone but the citizens of Florida they serve, with decisions based on the rule of law, not political payback.
I did stress that a fair and impartial judiciary, free from political or special interest influence, is the purpose of Florida's nonpartisan merit retention elections for appellate judges. And I did warn that playing politics with the Supreme Court, just because one may disagree with a decision, is not a reason to vote judges or justices off the bench.
We want judges to make decisions that may not be popular, if that's the right decision. And if they are making decisions because they are worried about how people are going to react, then they are violating the canons governing them and not doing their jobs.
"When the U.S. Supreme Court said, 'separate but equal' is not good enough, in Brown vs. Board of Education, that was not a popular decision. But it was the right decision," as I said on WTSP, Channel 10, Tampa Bay News' voter information special and news stories. Certainly, many people in this country wanted to "impeach Earl Warren" at the time. Had that occurred, however, or had he been voted off under some merit retention program, it would have terribly damaged our country's independent judiciary.
Beyond the 2012 ballot, this election has taught us there is still a need for civics education for both children and adults, so that future and current voters understand on a state and national level about the separation of powers, the role of judges, and why it's important to keep politics out of the process.
We already have enthusiastic volunteers enlisted for Justice Teaching, Justice Fred Lewis' initiative that teams local attorneys and judges with every school in the state to teach students about their constitutional rights and responsibilities.
Another group of about 80 trained lawyers made presentations on merit retention, and I hope they will sign on and be joined by others to teach the fundamentals of government and the courts to adult civic and community groups, through Benchmarks, a program created by The Florida Bar's Constitutional Judiciary Committee (formerly known as the Judicial Independence Committee).
While Florida won't have another merit retention election until 2014, we need to commit to a greater level of education going forward. Rather than be reactive to a particular election, the Bar needs to be proactive in our merit retention education efforts. Let's do all we can to make sure the citizens of Florida cast an educated vote in future merit retention elections.
Right now the system worked, and we should be proud of the many members of our profession who stepped forward to spread the message about the importance of fair and impartial courts in our state and why voters should recognize that in addressing merit retention questions on their ballots.

Anyone that was against all the finacial bailouts has good reason to be angry. The Federal Reserve is asleep at the wheel!
Is this the change many of you voted for? They don't know were billions of our taxpayer money is.
Just another great reason why we need less government and not BIG government.

I took 304th out of 15,550 people in the country's 4th largest 10k road race, the Bellin Run in Green Bay. I first signed up on Thursday so I was put in a later starting 'wave' which resulted in me avoiding people for the entire 6.21 miles. I wasted a ton of energy doing that. Had I started in a faster wave (I could have been in the fastst wave) I'm sure my time 41:46 and place would have been better.
p.s. 2-1B and the future Mrs. 2-1B were in the race as well!

As I prepare to get back into the hobby in a big way, I want to include a live food program for my (future) fish. After doing some thorough reading up, I've decided the best option is a co-culture of daphnia and dero worms. Both species are aquatic and pretty straightforward to culture, based on the research, and both should be tempting for the kinds of fish I want to have. I'm thinking Daphnia Pulex should give me the best food yield from my culture, and I'm preferring Dero worms to Tubifex because I understood that some Tubifex are suspected of carrying parasites.
I went today and picked up a 10g aquarium and got it set up. It has a heater, a hood/light that used to be one of the two fixtures on my dead 60g, and is currently running my smaller HOB filter, which will be moved to a planned 29g mini-community. By then, I should have an airstone-driven foam filter, and I'll squeeze from the HOB filter to seed the foam filter and (I hope) keep my tank cycling. I got the cycle started (I hope) by dropping in a good, big pinch of sinking shrimp pellets. That ought to start the ammonia building up.
Here's everything waiting to be set up:

And here it is mostly put together. With the mirror behind it, you can see portions of Dr_Lew. I deny everything.

I used siphon hose to run water into the tank from the faucet nearby. This was a challenge, as I had to get enough flow pressure to get over the top of the hose. It went well enough once I had siphon pressure flowing to the tank, though it took a while. I got a surprise when I turned the faucets off and the siphon started drawing water OUT of the tank, but I probably should have known!
As soon as the supplies arrive, I'll add the foam filter, a "substrate" of polyester filter cloth for the Dero worms to live in, over a probably sparse layer of crushed coral, which I read was recommended to supply minerals for the carapaces of the Daphnia. I'm also planning on tossing in some anacharis or hornwort, and if they come with some snails, so be it.
I'm excited to see how this project turns out.
Sounds interesting. I have never heard of dero worms before...
By the ways, tubifex worms are only suspected of carrying parasites when you buy them because commercially raised tubifex are raised in disgusting contaminated conditions. If you culture your own in a clean environment they should be safe.
Another note of interest: where do you plan to get your start cultures?
Hey, madagascariensis, thanks for the interest. Since I'd be uncertain about the cleanliness of the starter culture, I still think Dero worms are the way to go. They can also be called "microfex" because they're essentially tinier cousins of tubifex.
As for where I'll get my starters, I'm planning to look on Aquabid, and if I can't find them there, I think there are a couple of bilogical supply outfits (Carolina Biological Supply is one) that will have them, though they are pricier.
We're officially 24 hours in. The temperature is set an holding steady at 74, and so far all the equipment is working.
My plan to induce an ammonia spike and start the cycle is also working. I chucked in about 12 shrimp pellets yesterday, and today the ammonia drop test returned a reading of about 0.75ppm.
I now see very clearly why 10g tanks are considered unstable and impossible to keep healthy. That happened fast!
Not a lot exciting to report yet. Ammonia is up to 2ppm. There is a definite cloudiness to the water. It's hard to tell if that's dissolved particles from the melting shrimp pellets or a mild bacterial bloom, though the latter seems plausible given the surge in ammonia.
If this were an ordinary aquarium, having a bacterial bloom might bug me, but it's an empty tank, I know *exactly* what is in there causing it, and so long as the bloom doesn't become too severe, a tankful of infusoria will be an excellent snack for an incipient colony of daphnia.
Still no cycle, alas. Ammonia went above 4ppm, which I tought might be too high, so I've done a couple of 50% water changes and it's now hovering around 2ppm and the water is mostly clear.
I got the foam filter I'll actually be using in this tank, and it's now running along with the HOB I'm trying to cycle for my upcoming 29g aquarium (which will probably get its own journal soon).
2013-02-27 17.56.06.jpg
I planned to add a pad of polyester filter floss as a substrate for the dero worms to live in, but the stuff I got was way too light and just wanted to float. So, I'm probably just going to use a layer of crushed coral (a thin layer, but not too thin) as the bottom. My reference recommended adding the crushed coral to provide minerals for the dapnias' carapaces.
Anybody out there have thoughts on alternatives to the filter floss? Or suggestions about the cycling? I know it takes a while, but I'd hate to be sitting there waiting and waiting because I'd done something wrong.
If you haven't already add a air stone this well speed up the cycle.20 gallon tall: empty
29 gallon: moderately planted with 9 bloodfin tetra, 1 german blue ram, 11 glow light tetra and 1 BNP
10 gallon QT: empty
At long last an update. Almost a month in, and STILL no sign of nitrites or nitrates. Feeling somewhat desperate, I decided to go ahead and try adding some Malaysian Trumpet Snails to the tank, in hopes that they will bring with them an inoculation of beneficial bacteria to colonize my poor aquarium. I lowered the ammonia as much as I could with a giant water change before tossing the poor guys in. I've been doing pretty big changes already, trying to keep the ammonia around 2ppm, although it's substantially less now.
The little snails arrived last night in good shape, and so far appeared to be doing well as of this morning.
Here they are in the shipping bag:
2013-03-13 19.11.44.jpg
I tossed two small Cichlid Stones in so they could have some shelter from the light, as the culture tank has no substrate for them to dig into. Their ultimate home will be my 29-gallon office aquarium, which is currently lifeless and just sitting around waiting for the HOB filter to be ready.
Here are the snails in their temporary home:
2013-03-13 19.27.37.jpg
It's certainly not the greatest of photographs, but it gets the idea across.
On my 55 gallon fishless cycle, I didn't see trace nitrites until day 35. I used pure ammonia at 4ppm and raised my water temp to 85°. This is a game of patience. It will happen, just be diligent. Keep that ammonia as close to 2 ppm as possible and keep in mind that with lower ammonia levels, It's going to take longer. If possible raise the heat to around 80° c.
We have NitrItes!!!! It took forever (about as long as yours, SlowCheetah), but the NI phase of cycling is now under way. Lord knows how long it will take to start seeing NitrAtes, but progress is progress. Huzzah!!

Technical Pro HPT990 Professional Headphone
"Expanding on the pros, other likes- - These cans are pretty comfortable imo, with the velour pads and soft headband. I havent had any problems with pressure points on the headband, and have been able to wear them for several hours on end without much fatigue. Clamping force is just right. Tighter than, for example, a Creative Aurvana Live, but looser than my FA-011s. Fairly light weight. -..." --kidcharlemagne

Crenshaw mall TJ Maxx had both new Transformers Prime Voyagers - Thundertron and Ultra Magnus - for $13 a pop. I considered buying them but then remembered the bad reviews each has gotten, and there were some eager kids who were jazzed out of their minds when I put the figures back on the shelf, they really wanted to check them out.
Crenshaw WM was abysmal for TF, and not much better for Star Wars.
Clearman's pricing... Oh yeah, I forgot that gas prices skyrocketed since the last time I was there, so I just checked, their prices have gone up a bit - they make it worth your while with big portions and lots of salad, but it may be too much. Average dinner entree price seems to be $30: http://www.clearmansrestaurants.com/.../menu/menu.pdf
I'm certainly not locked into that pricepoint as our place, I love Clearman's but I go to Sizzler about a thousand times more often.
So, we have Maradona, me, Bikerscout*, Chux, and Bel-cam* who wants to remind us that he doesn't want to sell drugs - sure thing, buddy! Just for you. (* asterisk wearers are schedule-challenged, but I'm sure we all are to varying degrees). Anybody else?
Chux and I are not down for seafood. I don't want some fast food stand, it should be an actual restaurant unless it's super special awesome. Any other restrictions?
BCJ can only hope to go on a weekend, Sunday would be best for him. I think Bikerscout's schedule is weekdays, but not sure, let's find out.
How far is everybody willing to drive? That knowledge could help us create a zone of approval. Is anybody going to want to carpool?
Any other thoughts?

During the 1840s, the sectional conflict over slavery became increasingly prominent and strident in American political life. In 1850, Senators Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun supported a complicated piece of legislation known as the Compromise of 1850. Their goal was to maintain a balance of power in the U.S. Senate between southern and northern delegations. In this way they hoped to postpone indefinitely any fundamental change in the status of slavery within the United States and to stablize the turbulent political climate. Read more »

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
My husband and I have recently discovered that we really like Indian food. But because we're trying to eat with an eye toward better health, we're preparing almost all of our meals at home.
Back in mid-January, I remembered a recipe given to me by a cook of the week named Gladys Diaz. She actually prepared this chicken dish when I went to interview her and I remember taking a bite and thinking it was one of the best things I'd ever put in my mouth.
I dusted the recipe off and made a few changes. I reduced the amount of oil in the recipe, which called for 6 tablespoons, and I substituted ground spices for some of the whole spices Gladys used (both because I couldn't find some of them and because of the expense of others).
The fresh ginger, cardamom and turmeric give this dish an interesting flavor and color. I served it over basmati rice, and Charlie and I both thought it was restaurant-quality. I'm making it again this week.
Chicken in Light Sauce
3 tablespoons tomato sauce
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 cup water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1-inch) cube of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 to 5 teaspoons water
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 bay leaves
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or less)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Combine tomato sauce, yogurt and 1 cup water in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Place garlic, ginger and 2 tablespoons water in a blender and blend to a smooth paste. Set aside.
Place chicken in lemon juice for about 10 minutes. Remove from juice, rinse, and pat dry. Cut chicken into large chunks. Heat oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on all sides; remove from pot.
Add cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves and cayenne pepper to oil in pot; stir once. Spices will darken. Pour paste from blender into pot; add turmeric and stir for 1 minute. Return browned chicken to pot and add tomato sauce mixture, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat. Simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, turning chicken often. Serve over white rice.

Blowoutcards Market Report: 11/13/12
2012 Topps Chrome FB is on fire. From the start, collectors have been buying it up. Boxes/Cases/Hobby/Retail...whatever is out there. Dealers are looking to restock and prices look like they will run up similar to last years Tops Chrome. Can't see it going higher than $120-$125 but $110 is definitely in the range. The other 2012 FB products are also trending higher. It's a steady climb week after week. Here are the consistent sellers:
2012 Topps Platinum Football
2012 Topps Finest Football
2012 Topps Prime Football
2012 Panini Momentum Football
2012 Panini Certified Football
2012 Topps factory set Football
2012 Panini Rookie and Stars Football
2012 Bowman Signatures Football
2012 Leaf Autographed Jersey Football
The 2012 Leaf Autographed Jersey Football is an interesting product. Basically for the price of a box of cards, you get a full sized autographed jersey from a really nice checklist. Saw a Jerry Rice the other day pulled from the Fantastic store. These niche products from Leaf tend to do very well once they dry up. The Mini helmet products sell very well each year and products like the 2012 Leaf Vince Lombardi which was slow on arrival are now trading over $150 a Box. Anything with a small print run has a good shot at moving higher in time.
There are 2 Big Releases this week. 2012 Topps Five Star Baseball and 2012 Leaf Best of Football. We should see a ton of 5 Star BB breaks tomorrow on the forums and the Best of Football hits on Friday. Here's a link below for everyone to follow. We'll also see a ton of cases broken on BLOWOUTTV on Wednesday and Friday so if you would like to take part, here is a link below also:

Obligatory Douglas Adams Note:
As revealed to Arthur through the Scrabble tiles in Life, the Universe, and Everything, the Ultimate Question is "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" Those of us steeped in basic arithmetic since an early age, of course, dismiss this out of hand without thinking too hard about it.
However, I'd like to point out that it works if you do the math in base 13, which is somehow quite appropriate.
Farewell, Mr. Adams. I already miss the works you'd yet to make.

In the year 1513, a group of men led by Vasco Núñez de Balboa marched across the Isthmus of Panama and discovered the Pacific Ocean. They had been looking for it—they knew it existed—and, familiar as they were with oceans, they had no difficulty in recognizing it when they saw it. On their way, however, they saw a good many things they had not been looking for and were not familiar with. When they returned to Spain to tell what they had seen, it was not a simple matter to find words for everything.
From This Story
Related Content
For example, they had killed a large and ferocious wild animal. They called it a tiger, although there were no tigers in Spain and none of the men had ever seen one before. Listening to their story was Peter Martyr, member of the King's Council of the Indies and possessor of an insatiable curiosity about the new land that Spain was uncovering in the west. How, the learned man asked them, did they know that the ferocious animal was a tiger? They answered "that they knewe it by the spottes, fiercenesse, agilitie, and such other markes and tokens whereby auncient writers have described the Tyger." It was a good answer. Men, confronted with things they do not recognize, turn to the writings of those who have had a wider experience. And in 1513 it was still assumed that the ancient writers had had a wider experience than those who came after them.
Columbus himself had made that assumption. His discoveries posed for him, as for others, a problem of identification. It seemed to be a question not so much of giving names to new lands as of finding the proper old names, and the same was true of the things that the new lands contained. Cruising through the Caribbean, enchanted by the beauty and variety of what he saw, Columbus assumed that the strange plants and trees were strange only because he was insufficiently versed in the writings of men who did know them. "I am the saddest man in the world," he wrote, "because I do not recognize them."
We need not deride Columbus' reluctance to give up the world that he knew from books. Only idiots escape entirely from the world that the past bequeaths. The discovery of America opened a new world, full of new things and new possibilities for those with eyes to see them. But the New World did not erase the Old. Rather, the Old World determined what men saw in the New and what they did with it. What America became after 1492 depended both on what men found there and on what they expected to find, both on what America actually was and on what old writers and old experience led men to think it was, or ought to be or could be made to be.
During the decade before 1492, as Columbus nursed a growing urge to sail west to the Indies—as the lands of China, Japan and India were then known in Europe—he was studying the old writers to find out what the world and its people were like. He read the Ymago Mundi of Pierre d'Ailly, a French cardinal who wrote in the early 15th century, the travels of Marco Polo and of Sir John Mandeville, Pliny's Natural History and the Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum of Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini (Pope Pius II). Columbus was not a scholarly man. Yet he studied these books, made hundreds of marginal notations in them and came out with ideas about the world that were characteristically simple and strong and sometimes wrong, the kind of ideas that the self-educated person gains from independent reading and clings to in defiance of what anyone else tries to tell him.
The strongest one was a wrong one—namely, that the distance between Europe and the eastern shore of Asia was short, indeed, that Spain was closer to China westward than eastward. Columbus never abandoned this conviction. And before he set out to prove it by sailing west from Spain, he studied his books to find out all he could about the lands that he would be visiting. From Marco Polo he learned that the Indies were rich in gold, silver, pearls, jewels and spices. The Great Khan, whose empire stretched from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean, had displayed to Polo a wealth and majesty that dwarfed the splendors of the courts of Europe.
Polo also had things to say about the ordinary people of the Far East. Those in the province of Mangi, where they grew ginger, were averse to war and so had fallen an easy prey to the khan. On Nangama, an island off the coast, described as having "great plentie of spices," the people were far from averse to war: they were anthropophagi—man-eaters—who devoured their captives. There were, in fact, man-eating people in several of the offshore islands, and in many islands both men and women dressed themselves with only a small scrap of cloth over their genitals. On the island of Discorsia, in spite of the fact that they made fine cotton cloth, the people went entirely naked. In one place there were two islands where men and women were segregated, the women on one island, the men on the other.
Marco Polo occasionally slipped into fables like this last one, but most of what he had to say about the Indies was the result of actual observation. Sir John Mandeville's travels, on the other hand, were a hoax—there was no such man—and the places he claimed to have visited in the 1300s were fantastically filled with one-eyed men and one-footed men, dog-faced men and men with two faces or no faces. But the author of the hoax did draw on the reports of enough genuine travelers to make some of his stories plausible, and he also drew on a legend as old as human dreams, the legend of a golden age when men were good. He told of an island where the people lived without malice or guile, without covetousness or lechery or gluttony, wishing for none of the riches of this world. They were not Christians, but they lived by the golden rule. A man who planned to see the Indies for himself could hardly fail to be stirred by the thought of finding such a people.

The Tupelo nurse has pleaded not guilty.
By HOLBROOK MOHR
The Associated Press
JACKSON – The former clinical director of a north Mississippi hospice is scheduled for trial March 26 in a case alleging that several patients died prematurely.
Marilyn Lehman, a nurse and clinical director at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, was charged last April with 11 misdemeanor counts of administering narcotics without a license. She has pleaded not guilty.
Attorney General Jim Hood has said as many as 11 people in the facility died after they were given excessive medications. Lehman's trial had been scheduled for November, but it was postponed by scheduling conflicts.
Lehman's attorney, Ronald Michael, did not immediately respond Friday to a message. He previously has said that his client did nothing wrong.
Dr. Paul White, the facility's medical director, pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor charges of aiding and abetting the practice of medicine without a license and one felony count of cyber stalking for sending threatening e-mails to people he thought caused the investigation.
It's not clear if White will testify against Lehman. He struck a deal with prosecutors and was sentenced to two years of probation and agreed to cooperate.
Authorities say the doctor let Lehman set doses and administer narcotics, then backdated the orders she had written.
The hospice's attorney, L.F. "Sandy" Sams, has repeatedly said the patients' deaths were not suspicious or premature. People in hospice care are expected to die because they are terminally ill with just months to live when they are admitted, Sams has said.
The investigation angered many people in the community, including those whose loved ones died at the hospice. The nonprofit hospice opened in 2005 as a pilot project to provide affordable care to rural areas and was intended as a model for other communities.
Others were angered by the way the investigation was handled. Hood fired two of his investigators after they were accused of telling grand jury witnesses to call the media.
Still, the relatives of some people are convinced their loved ones died of excessive doses of morphine and other drugs.
Hood, whose office handled the investigation, has said some patients were given such massive doses of morphine that "it was like a poison on the body."
Hood has told The Associated Press that a grand jury was presented with several options, including that the hospice deaths were deliberate. They settled on the misdemeanor charges.

Bahau people
Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia
Funerary figure
14th century
114.0 (h) x 18.0 (w) x 18.0 (d) cm
Purchased 2008
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
The animist beliefs of the Bahau people of Borneo centre on the concept of the soul, its transition through life and death, and the existence of powerful ancestral spirits capable of intervening benevolently or malevolently in human affairs. Portraying individual ancestors, spirit guardians or nature deities, hampatong sculptures sometimes function as grave markers, protecting the vessels in which the remains of the dead are placed after secondary burials.
With elegantly elongated torso and teeth bared ferociously, this striking hampatong has the heart-shaped face, sunken cheeks and bold round eyes typical of Bahau imagery. Recent radiocarbon testing dates this sculpture to the 14th century, demonstrating the long history of hampatong creation in Borneo. The sculpture probably survived in the sheltered environment of a burial cave or large tomb.

My daughter and I got to meet Lando.
Billy Dee Williams was in town at a local convention along with Deep Roy and Rusty Geoff.
I bought an iPod nano (16GB blue). My first mp3 player. I've been messing around with that a bit. I've spent all afternoon watching a live stream of the Washington state high school track meet (2A, 3A and 4A). Lots of good competition, and plenty of local kids did well, and someone from my alma mater won the boys 2A 1600.
Now, I have a ton of dishes that have piled up, so I'll have to do those before I eat dinner.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Worked a homicide until 6AM Sunday morning.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
You can cut an arm or leg off your victim one at a time and keep them alive by cutting off the blood loss until you finish the dismemberment.
This could come in handy if you want to cook parts of them and have them alive to watch themselves being eaten alive.
I think this is much more creative than just shooting them for non-fatal wounds. That gets boring.
The Hannibal Lechter way is much more classy.
Then again, you just might have killed your victim quickly and then taken forever to get rid of the body and hide all the forensic evidence.
I suppose with your job as a CSI you could be really good at that.
Say, there's this employee at a toy store that I know is taking all the good figures out of the cases before they're stocked and.....
Well, do you contract out or is cannibalism just a hobby?

Those ladies will be fine. But that guy's doomed.
Here's the latest in scientists looking for a link between games and real-life behavior: Brad Bushman of Ohio State and Bryan Gibson of Central Michigan University conducted a study that investigates whether playing a violent game and thinking about the game for 24 hours afterward has a negative effect the following day. Turns out it does, but only for the dudes:
For men who didn't think about the game, the violent video game players tested no more aggressive than men who had played non-violent games. But the violent video game playing men who thought about the game in the interim were more aggressive than the other groups. The researchers also found that women who played the violent video games and thought about the games did not experience increased aggression 24 hours later.
The violent game example is Mortal Kombat, and the example of a competitive-but-non-violent game is Guitar Hero. The women and men who didn't ruminate about their gaming had no change in aggression. Guitar Hero is "safe" whether you think about it for hours, or not. But apparently, analyzing your fighting game strategy makes you into a jerk ... if you're male, that is. (Annnd pause for laughter from the lady-gamers -- we've all known that guy, right?)
It seems that women are more capable of holding games at arm's length, whereas men can't seem do so once there's bloodshed on the screen. Kotaku commenters played the hormones card, but there's more to it than that. For example, this study explains that "testosterone is as much the result of violence as its cause. Indeed, both winning a sporting match and beating an opponent at chess can boost testosterone levels." It's unclear whether having a lot of testosterone causes violence, or whether engaging with violence causes testoserone levels to increase. A little of column A, a little of column B?
The other big factor is cultural: our assigned gender roles. Women shy away from competition and men embrace it (according to this study). Not to mention that women acting competitive is considered unattractive in our society. Ladies are supposed to be demure and passive, after all. They oughtn't get emotionally involved in Mortal Kombat. Whereas, men are told to compete, compete, compete from day one.
No discussion of violent games would be complete without a "what about the children" finale. The State of California is very worried about children playing violent games. (Although we apparently needn't worry much about the female children.)
That Kotaku article summarizes the Supreme Court's current California vs. games debacle, and it even includes some gems from California's defense team:
Does playing violent video games lead to aggressive or violent behavior? Yes, and nearly as much as the other major indicator of youth violence: gang membership. Playing violent video games ranks almost as high as gang membership as the number one tell-tale sign among youth for a propensity to commit violence. See Violent Video Game Effects, infra, at 143 (utilizing for comparison purposes data from a 2003 report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
Playing violent video games is a far bigger risk factor than other familiar indicators of youth violence. For example, playing violent video games is three times greater as a risk factor for aggressive/violent behavior than engaging in substance abuse, being from a broken home, having a low IQ or even having abusive parents. Id. Playing violent video games is nearly two times greater as a risk factor for aggressive/violent behavior than having a record of prior violence or being a large consumer of media violence.
Ugh, gamers are deplorable, aren't we? (Or, at least, some uncertain percentage of us seem to be.) And studies like the one in my first paragraph make it more difficult to argue that violent people gravitate towards violent games, rather than games being the cause of violent behavior.
Ultimately, I'd prefer to blame gender roles instead of games. I like one much better than the other, after all. There aren't nearly enough gangs made up of female gamers! No, wait ... was that my argument? Hm, yeah, let's go with that.

Department of Revenue to offer free electronic filing for property tax refunds
Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, informs constituents about a new program with the Minnesota Department of Revenue. Starting March 25, the Minnesota Department of Revenue will begin offering free electronic filing for homeowners who qualify for a property tax refund.
This is the first time the Minnesota Department of Revenue has offered a free online filing solution for individual property taxes.
"Many of us are already used to e-filing our federal and state income taxes and is this just another step in making tax filing season a little less of a pain," said Ward.
The Department of Revenue has a video explaining who qualifies to e-file and a list of information needed to submit your refund online. For more information and instructions on Minnesota's property tax refund, visit http://www.revenue.state.mn.us/individuals/prop_tax_refund/Pages/File-an....

Debian is a remarkable mix of contradictions. Debian has a remarkable package management system, probably the best linux package management in existence. At the same time, the political battles are unbelievable frustrating and threaten to marginalize the package. Recent resolutions to remove all non-free documentation and firmware from the install mean that Sarge will be delayed until 2005. Woody, the last release, came out in 2002, which means that people using the "stable" (i.e. Woody) branch of Debian have packages that are all several years old, which is a problem for some of us. Now, I realize that anyone can simply can upgrade their installation to "testing" (i.e. Sarge) quite easily, but the fact is that most casual users won't do this. Plus, part of the "cool" factor of any distro is having reasonably up-to-date packages.
That being said, I just did a major reinstall on my home box using Sid, and I am once again floored by how easy it is to maintain a Debian box. I have a hard time using other distros now, since Debian is so effortless.

>Ok… so a Scout needs a Position of Responsibility (POR) to complete the requirements for Star, Life, and Eagle, he was not elected to a position so he comes to Mr. Scoutmaster seeking, lets say… Troop Historian.
He figures, well I get to wear the patch and in 4 to 6 months I can call it good.
NOT SO FAST… what do you expect from the young man?
It is easy to see a Scout demonstrate leadership in a POR when he is the SPL, ASPL, PL etc… but what about those "behind the scenes" POR's? How do you know when he has completed or at least functioned in the capacity of the job he is wearing the patch for?
There are many resources out there that describe those positions, but are we holding those Scouts to it? The POR should not be a gimme, by design, the POR is there to teach the Scout and develop in him self confidence, leadership, communication skills, citizenship, and dependability.
I had a young Scout that is nearing the Star rank come to me the other night. He asked if he could be appointed to the Historian position. I asked him to speak to the SPL about it and find out if that was something he would really be interested in. He came back to me and said the SPL ok'd it but wanted to know what he should do. I told him to get his parents camera, a pen and paper, and a scrap book and start documenting our Troops activity, special events, and any news paper clippings that may come out within the next 4 months. He looked at me in shock.. "that's a lot of work and it means I have to go on the winter camp outs" he said. Well you need to be able to see what the troop is doing to keep its history right? Well what if I get someone else to take the pictures? I guess that will work, but then are you demonstrating any leadership by not being there I suggested.. after all this is a leadership position within the Troop right?
Now you may argue that Historian, Chaplains Aide, Scribe, Webmaster.. they are not really leaders.. but I would argue to the contrary. In teen ager thought.. those that wear patches are the leaders. Just watch them. If they don't have a patch, for the most part… they won't lead. I explain it like this to the Scouts that are not "Green Bar" leaders… Every leadership position needs a support staff.. the President of the United States has his cabinet.. CEO's have a board…and Scout leaders have Scribes, Historians, Librarians, Quartermasters, Webmasters, Leave No Trace trainers etc. that support the functions of the Troop.
So what do I expect from them.. after all, I have to sign off their books… well I just expect them to do the job.. not just wear the patch. Not adding to the requirement.. not taking away from. Just doing the job that the patch indicates.
Expect great things from Scouts and they will do great things!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
