Isn't it part of the first amendment that different opinions are allowed? That's why there will never will be a time when everyone is a Democrat; or everyone is a Republican. This has been going on since the founding of the country.
Every once in a while Rush has an interesting insight. Read one of the transcripts yesterday, and he posed: when Dems lose an election do they ever run around saying that they should change their position on this issue or that issue? When the Dems got whacked in the mid-terms, what was Obama's reaction? He said he had not "told the story right."
When certain voter groups will throw all their values to the wind to worship one individual, are those votes that any Republican can get? Many blacks and Latinos strongly disagree with gay marriage and abortion, yet they still supported Obama in the election ... even though it's on his record that he not only is in favor of abortion, but also voted in favor of 3rd trimester abortions and for allowing babies who survived late-term abortions die. I can't buy into the fact that those groups voted against R's because of of those two social issues, if they are willing to vote FOR someone who would stand there an watch a baby die. I simply do not believe that they are really aware of where Obama stood on that. Once those babies survive, they are protected by our Constitution; not according to Obama's voting record.
Surely immigration reform is needed, but if amnesty didn't work for Reagan ... it just resulted in even more illegal immigration later, then why should R's embrace amnesty just to please one minority group? (who will likely find another reason to vote Dem)
For every vote they might possibly gain, they will lose, I think, at least the same number. A third party might actually become a reality if the R's become indistinguishable from the D's. Maybe they already have? Maybe Libertarians will finally get their "fair shot"? Too many reasons why I could not vote for Ron Paul ... but I could vote for Rand

Doesn't that just bite? I loved not liking the Dodgers. It fit right in with not liking the Lakers.Originally Posted by Cedric
Win, and other cities will start claiming you as their rival. Lose and no one cares.
The REDS do not have a rival. This NL Central thing screwed everything up. The CUBS and CARDS are each other's rivals. No one can step in between that. The Astros really don't have a rival. The Brewers don't have one. The Pirates were the Phillies, but I don't know now. The Mets and Phillies were rivals for a while and should continue to do so. The Marlins should be the Braves. The Padres have no one. The Rockies rivals are all pitchers.
If the REDS win, the rivalries will come.
I agree with Eric_Davis.
In order to determine the Reds' "biggest rival," the other team would have to consider the Reds their biggest rival. I don't think that scenario exists. It's like college football. Probably 4 teams claim OSU as their biggest rival: m!ch!gan, Penn State, Wisconsin and possibly Iowa. But only m!ch!gan is OSU's biggest rival. In baseball, as Reds fans we would love to be identified as the anti-Cubs or anti-Cardinals...but those franchises have a lengthy history with each other that we don't share thanks to our years spent in the National League West.
That's the Reds' rivalry problem - they switched divisions, leaving behind old rivals such as the Braves, Dodgers and Giants. The only team to remain in the Reds division is the Astros, which leads me to think of them as the Reds chief rival. They are in the same position - they lost their other rivals and only retained the Reds as a division foe. The distance and differences between Cincinnati and Houston don't really matter either. Look at NFL rivalries such as Cowboys/Redskins, Cowboys/49ers and Broncos/Raiders - not exactly next door neighbors.
Astros: Reds biggest rival; teams have always been in the same division
Cards: Reds will never be their No. 1 rival so they can't be ours
Cubs: See Cards
Pirates: Best possibility at new rivalry, if Pirates ever amount to anything; right now they don't deserve the honor of being the biggest rival of one of baseball's most stories franchises
Brewers: This team is the Reds' biggest nemesis and biggest pain in the neck, but not necessarily biggest rival
Indians: Don't play near enough games vs. each other to develop a meaningful rivalry; these teams' 6 games with each other are over by the All-star break every year, which means neither team can factor into the other's stretch drives with crushing losses or huge wins - the definition of a rivalry. If the main reason people use for the Dodgers no longer being a rival is because they only play 6 games, the same applies with the Tribe

Brewers, they ruined the 99 season
Go Gators!
I agree, that Houston has the greatest chance of becoming our rival. They don't have one, we don't have one. They show more success than Pittsburgh lately, and it only takes a beanball or two from Clemens to stir up a rivalry.Originally Posted by KronoRed
The Brewers are like that annoying fly in your car that just won't fly out the open windowsOriginally Posted by KronoRed
IMHO, it is the Pittsburgh Pirates.
These two teams have met in the NLCS five times. They played each other seven times in spring training, and they are very close in proximity and on the same body of water.
Agree with Hap. Since the Dodgers rivalry is dead the Pirates are the team we have faced the most and caused each other the most pain. Brewers are right up there.
Cubs new found arrogance is indeed annoying but my qualification for a rival is someone you hate because they ruined a season/dealt a crushing blow and you in turn have dealt them a blow on the way to a championship of some sort. This automatically eliminates the Cubs as anyones rivals.
This is what I don't get about the Card/Cubs, who have the Cubs ever beaten? When was the last time the Cubs beat a team in a game 7 or the last day of a season and just crushed some teams hopes? NEVER. Does Lucey view Charley Brown as a rival or just some pathetic loser who she enjoys tormenting?
The Cards are one of the winningst franchises in baseball, the Cubs are one of the worst. How can You be a Cubs fan and claim a rivalry with a team you have never beaten on a way to a championship? Same for those sad demented Red Sox fans. Are the Clippers rivals with the Lakers just because they are geographically close? NO!! You have to beat the other team to have a real rivalry, untill then its just a bad case of trophy envy and annoying fans.
The Cubbies are Charlie Brown and neither one will ever kick that bleeping ball.
First, I think the "biggest rival" has to be a division rival, like the Dodgers were in the 70's. So that eliminates the Indians immediately. (I live in an area where most people are Indians fans, and they are amazed that I don't get "fired up" for the Reds-Indians games or respond to their taunts before the games (and after, if the Tribe win). I just think of them as another team, and each game as just another game, and it ticks them off!
Unfortunately, the Dodgers are also out, since the Reds now play them only six times a season.
It would be nice to call the Cardinals and/or the Cubs our biggest rival, but they have so much history with each other that they don't view the Reds in that vein. So they are both out.
The Brewers are an intriguing possibility, but they are still rather new to the NL. (Frankly, I still find myself thinking of the Brew Crew as an AL team with Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Cecil Cooper, and Gorman Thomas.) Also, due to their close proximity to Chicago (many people are not aware that Milwaukee is on Lake Michigan), they desperately want a rivalry with the Cubs. There's also the Busch-vs.-Miller thing with the Cardinals, as well as memories of the 1982 World Series.
The Astros are the only team in the Reds' division that has always been in the Reds' division. There is a lot of history there, and despite the distance problem, they are a team this is easy to "get up for" as a fan, since there are years of familiarity to them. However, even when the Reds and Astros were in the old NL West, I never saw them as a true rival, but just a divisional foe.
The Pirates would be a natural choice now that they are in the same division as the Reds. They have a lot of history with the Reds from the old days, even though they were in the opposite division, because of their epic NLCS battles. Also, their relatively close proximity would lend itself to fueling the flames of a true rivalry. I have seen the Pirates play more times than any team except the Reds. I will be at the game against the Bucs Friday night, and it will be the eleventh time I have seen the Reds and Pirates play each other, though only the fourth time in Cincinnati. I have seen them play in Pittsburgh seven times. To me, a rivalry gains significance when you become familiar with and feel comfortable in the other team's home ball park. Also, the Reds opened PNC Park, and the Pirates opened GAB. Of course, it would help if the Pirates would become more competitive, but they get my vote for "biggest rival", albeit a friendly one. ( I have said on more than one occasion that if I hadn't been a Reds fan, I would probably be a Pirates fan.)
Of course, any time the Reds compete with any of their divisional rivals for the NL Central crown, there will be an added taste of rivalry, and if they compete with the same team over and over again, year-in and year-out, then that team will become a big rival. Let's face it--the only reason the Dodgers were such a big rival in the 70's was because the Reds and Dodgers were butting heads every year for the NL West title. (And it didn't hurt that both teams were chock-full of great personalities.)

The Most Decorated Team of Stand Up Trainers in the World
- Written by Dave Walsh
Namsaknoi with a collection of his belts
Historically ambitious stand up fighters have flocked to Thailand to learn at the hands of legends like Namsaknoi Yudthagarngamtorn and Anuwat Kaewsamrit but now an increasing number of renowned Muay Thai fighters are moving to Singapore.
Evolve MMA is putting together a collection of trainers which is unprecedented in the history of Muay Thai and includes Orono Wor Petchpun, Attachai Fairtex, Lamnammoon Sor Sumalee, Kongtoranee Payakaroon and Muangfalek Kitvichian as well as Namsaknoi and Anuwat. These are all names which live on long after their owners have retired because they belong to the very best fighters in the most competitive stand up sport on the planet.
Any fighter who wants to acquire world class stand up skils, be it for K-1, kickboxing, Muay Thai or even MMA would be well advised to come and learn from one of these Thai legends. The fighters currently at Evolve MMA include Shinya Aoki, Leandro Issa and Eddie Ng and with such a decorated team of trainers it is no wonder that their stand up skills are improving rapidly.
You could not find a team of Muay Thai fighters, past or present, anywhere else in the world to match the one currently in place at Evolve MMA and there is not even a camp in Thailand which can boast so many high calibre trainers.
Kru Yodtong Senanan is the grandmaster of the world renowned Sityodtong camp and the only teacher of Muay Thai to be awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Royal Family of Thailand. According to him the number of top Thai trainers moving to Singapore is starting to raise eyebrows in Thailand,
"Evolve MMA has the most number of Muay Thai World Champions in the world, including camps in Thailand. No camp has this many legends and champions and it is the most decorated team that I have seen in my 50 years of teaching Muay Thai."
Namsaknoi was a two time fighter of the year and a Lumpini champion at three different weights. Anuwat Kaewsamrit was a two time fighter of the year, a three time Rajadamnern champion and a Lumpini champion, WBC champion and WMC champion. Orono Wor Petchpun was a WMC champion, Lumpini champion and Thailand champion.
Orono Wor Petchpun shows off his silverware
Lamnammoon Sor Sumalee was a four time Lumpini champion, Kongtoranee Payakaroon was fighter of the year and won a Lumpini title at an incredible five different weight classes while Muangfalek Kitvichian is a two time Rajadamnern champion. Another Evolve MMA instructor, Yodsanan Sityodtong, has also fought Muay Thai at a very high level as well as beng a former WBA Super Featherweight boxing champion.
With so much money in MMA it is surprising that more of the top camps have not invested in bringing in elite Muay Thai trainers. The science of stand up fighting inside the cage is still evolving and there is absolutely no substitute for the experience that a lifetime of fighting in Thaiiland brings, most of the trainers listed in this article have over 300 fights and at least two decades experience of training and competing.
If mixed martial artists want to reach a level of striking which is so far unprecedented in their sport then they need look no further than Muay Thai to find it. There is such a wealth of knowledge inside Thailand that there are still many tricks and techniques that remain undiscovered within the world of MMA. Evolve MMA is the first facility to really focus on extricating some of the most accomplished trainers from Thailand and the likes of Shinya Aoki and Eddie Ng are reaping the benefits.

Are subsidies the best way to achieve smart grid goals?
Dr. Sam Newell is principal at The Brattle Group. He acknowledges the contributions of Ahmad Faruqui , Peter Fox-Penner , Attila Hajos , and Kathleen Spees of The Brattle Group. The views in this article are Newell's and not necessarily those of The Brattle Group or its clients.
Are subsidies the best way to achieve smart grid goals?
In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposes to require all regional transmission organizations (RTOs) to pay demand response (DR) providers the full locational marginal price (LMP) for load reductions. 1 It shouldn't be a matter of economic debate that this would allow DR providers to earn more than the value they directly provide to the market. Because customers pay their retail providers only for the energy actually consumed, their ability to sell load reductions as DR into the wholesale market is like reselling energy they never bought in the first place. Thus, full LMP compensation would allow them to earn the wholesale energy market price plus the avoided retail rate for every kWh reduced.
The embedded subsidy would inefficiently distort behavior and would provide compensation that isn't comparable to the compensation generation receives.
Paying DR the LMP minus the avoided retail generation rate (LMP – G) would be more efficient, so that the customer's total savings, including avoided retail payments, would be the full LMP. For example, a customer with a $100 per MWh retail generation rate would be willing to run a $250 per MWh backup generator or load reduction when LMPs are $250 or higher because that customer would earn $100 in avoided retail payments plus $150 (=$250 - $100) LMP-G compensation from the wholesale market; by contrast, wholesale compensation of full LMP will induce the customer to use its $250 resource when the LMP is only $150, thus displacing $150 production with $250 production. 2
This isn't to say that DR is worth less than generation, which it isn't. The full LMP should be paid out, but with only LMP-G going to the customer and G going to the LSE. This creates the same efficient incentives and the same financial outcome as if the customer had bought the energy from the LSE before reselling it. 3
Notably, even LMP-G can provide excessive compensation in some cases, for example, if the customer's apparent load reduction merely is shifted to another high-LMP hour in which the customer pays only the retail rate for incremental consumption—and thus earns a net payment of LMP minus the retail rate for having accomplished nothing. Customers would have to be exposed to market prices in every hour in order to avoid this problem.
The question we should be debating isn't whether paying DR the full LMP constitutes a subsidy, which it clearly is. The questions should be whether FERC should require regional transmission organizations (RTOs) to subsidize DR, and whether other policy interventions could expand the number of price-responsive customers and achieve the larger policy goals more efficiently.

The answer to these questions begins by articulating the

Wake and Jones are the only players with speed on defense? Really Dave? They may be the only players on defense that plays fast but they are not the only players with speed.5. Speed wins. Again, the Parcells Way was big and strong. Ireland has tried, by increments, to change that the last two drafts. But the reason the Dolphins have trouble causing turnovers is end Cameron Wake and safety Reshad Jones are the only players with speed on the defense.
The fact that Ireland went against his own principles in drafting Tannehill last year mean that you can teach old dogs new tricks or in this case, teach them to adjust their outdated philosophy.

Film Review
To Rome With Love
Woody Allen's having a wonderful time in Italy, but you'll wish you weren't there
By Devin D. O'Leary
Prior to 2005, when he was a strictly New York kind of guy, Woody Allen's batting average was quite high. From 1969's Take the Money and Run to 1987's Radio Days, Allen pumped out an unbroken string of classic films (1987's September was his first seriously meh effort). Even figuring in misses like 1998's Celebrity and 2003's Anything Else, you could put him at about a .750—pretty high for a guy who's put out at least one movie a year since 1969.

"Perception" on TNT
By Devin D. O'Leary
TNT is assuring viewers that its new crime-solving series is "unique." And by "unique," they mean "more or less identical to every other quirky, offbeat, crazy-but-brilliant amateur detective on TV." Familiarity, however, isn't a crime—certainly not on network TV—and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that "Perception" will score solid ratings for TNT.

Cycling in the rain of the Netherlands
But I still see the same few cyclists on the roads and bike paths. maybe three or four other riders on a good day, on my 2.5 mile to work that goes through the town centre.
Meanwhile, on a rainy day in Utrecht in the Netherlands...

Taking a closer look at the buildings, this road was probably built in the 70s or 80s - just when our inner ring road was built.
As we repeatedly point out, we cannot expect UK authorities to compensate for such past mistakes instantly. But perhaps admitting these mistakes would help clarify what encourages - and what discourages - cycling.

There is ample space on Darlington's main and busy roads, the arterial roads, that could be reallocated without hurting motorists. It is public space......
The people in Holland are simply uses to cycling even in the rain, they use their umbrellas, I did that as a kid as well and still do it.

The danger with biking during rainy days is the wet roads. It is more prone to road disasters. I think cyclists must wear protective gears like helmet and boots. There are cases that drivers can't notice a cyclist approaching. That's why some wear an Ansi safety vest when they're traveling along a highway.

Interesting comment, Bobby. But after viewing the film, surely you must conclude that your idea of "cycling" has nothing to do with this example of "cycling"? I didn't see one instance of cyclists mixing with motorised traffic in the film.
Your linguistic slip - generalising your idea of "cycling" as if it were universal - is exactly what transportation authorities do over and over.

House Speaker-designate John Boehner of Ohio wipes away tears as he waits to receive the gavel from outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif. during the first session of the 112th Congress, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
"John Boehner cries more than a woman with PMS.
The Speaker of the House is more of a crybaby than the woman who preceded him as in the job. Hes shed more tears in three months than Nancy Pelosi did in four yours.
On Wednesday, Boehner appeared before a GOP caucus to talk about the budget impasse and a pending government shutdown and teared up once again.
ABC New quoted a attendee at the meeting: He cried, but only briefly.
That he cried at all is a sad testament to the GOP.
Why is this wimp running the House? As Speaker is third in the line of succession to become President. Do we want a whiner who breaks down and bawls like a baby?
Its one thing to show emotion. Its something else to be so emotional that you cry often, which is exactly what Boehner does.
When the GOP won control of the House in last Novembers mid-term elections, he cried.
He wasnt the only one. A lot of us cried over the prospect of GOP control and a freshman class dominated by Tea Party zealots."
Oh, how true.

OKOLONA – Trustees hired Dexter Green as the new superintendent of Okolona School District at a special called meeting Monday.
Green is expected to fill the superintendent's post on April 1 and will be the district's first superintendent since it was placed under state control more than three years ago.
Okolona trustees had voted to hire Dr. Jerry Woods on March 17, Woods accepted that job but the next day told the board he would not take the post.
"We felt Mr. Green had a strong four-point plan to better our schools, he has good people skills and he has had success with both curriculum and moving schools forward," said Dr. Jerome Smith, President of the Okolona School Board. "The vote to hire him was unanimous."
Green, a principal with Tunica County Schools and a 23-year veteran educator, Dr. Debra Dace, also with Tunica County Schools, along with Woods were the three finalists for the post was also one of the three finalist presented to the public ten days ago.
Green is noted for taking a poor performing elementary school and helping them earn both state and national academic honors. Green had also touted his ability to bring people together during his interview.
The Okolona district went into conservatorship in February 2010 due to poor academic rankings and financial instability. The school board was dissolved and the superintendents' post vacated when a state conservator was named.
The district came out from under state sanctions last summer. A five-member school board made up of Smith, William Bailey, Nancy Sullivan, Sara L. Jenkins and William "Bill" Stewart was seated in December. Trustees have repeatedly said selecting a new superintendent was their top priority.

Event set on 'Understanding Virginia Tech,' April 23
Posted April 21, 2007; 04:18 p.m.
"Understanding Virginia Tech: The Explanations and Meanings of a Tragedy" is the title of a session planned for 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 23, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Speaking will be Katherine Newman, the Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, and Keith Whittington, the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics.
Newman, the author of "Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings" (2004), will discuss what scholars know about the dynamics of these tragedies, based on two years of field research and extensive study of all known incidents of rampage shootings in the U.S. since 1970. She will focus attention on the social experience of school shooters and the reasons why, despite extensive evidence that something terrible is coming, so few communities are able to get young people to come forward with the very information most likely to stop a plot.
Whittington, who has published widely on American constitutionalism and political history, plans to focus his remarks on the relation of the events at Virginia Tech to the law and politics of gun control.
The event is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the Undergraduate Student Government.

UTSA Spotlight: Beldon scholarship awarded to English doctoral student Kelly J. Harris
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(July 21, 2009)--Kelly J. Harris, who received both bachelor's (2006) and master's (2009) degrees at UTSA, is the third recipient of the Louise and Michael Beldon Doctoral Scholarship. The merit-based scholarship is awarded annually to a Texas resident who is entering a doctoral program at UTSA. Past recipients include doctoral students in demography and neurobiology.
The scholarship was created in 2007 by Louise and Michael Beldon, owners of Beldon Enterprises Inc., a third-generation, commercial roofing business founded in San Antonio in 1946.
In recommending Harris for the Beldon Scholarship, Department of English Chair Bridget Drinka lauded Harris' "fundamental intelligence, research, critical thinking and writing skills."
A military veteran who is the first in her family to earn an undergraduate degree, Harris is a passionate advocate of the written word. To Harris, learning to write -- and write well -- is the ultimate kind of empowerment. She plans to teach writing at the university level.
"One of the things I feel most passionately about is showing students that they can write; it is not a skill which is only possessed by the few," Harris wrote in her scholarship application.
"It is my hope that I would be able to show students how to look at not only what is written or said, but also to see the underlying meaning of the words or the author's persuasive intentions," she added.
Initially discouraged from studying English in college, Harris path to pursuing what she really loved has been long and arduous. After a year of college in Tennessee, her home state, she gave up her studies to join the Air Force. Trained as a cardio-pulmonary technician, Harris worked at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio.
Throughout her six-year stint in the military, Harris' love of language stayed on her mind. "It always came back to the words," Harris said, noting that even learning medical Latin seemed like nourishment.
Harris decided to pick up her undergraduate studies at local community colleges, eventually earning enough credits to transfer to UTSA as "somewhere between a sophomore and junior." The GI Bill helped pay for her undergraduate studies, and it was through her courses in UTSA's English department that the possibility of becoming an English professor began to take shape."
She applied to graduate school at UTSA and was soon accepted -- teaching assistantships allowed her to work closely with senior English faculty. Last year she was also the recipient of the Alan E. Craven Endowed Scholarship. She has worked at the UTSA Writing Center and as a reader-grader, gaining valuable skills and mentoring students in the process.
"I am honored to be the recipient of this scholarship," Harris said. She will begin her doctoral studies this fall.

text: The title pretty much says it all. I bought the CD when it first came out, but through a series of unfortuante events, the first CD has become cracked and unplayable. It seems silly to shell out another $30 or so since I already paid for it once just for the first CD, and I am highly against downloading since it is in essence stealing, but in my case I view it as returning the first CD for a new one. If I could find it used or very cheap I would buy it, but the only place I have spotted it lately is Barnes and Noble for $32. Does anyone know of a site I can go to to download the first disc again?

Crème fraîche is a cultured cream with a rich, silky texture and a nutty, tangy flavor that's well worth seeking out for this recipe. Look for it at some supermarkets and in the dairy section of specialty foods stores.
Baker's sugar, a favorite of pastry chefs, is also called superfine sugar. It measures the same as regular but dissolves more quickly. It's available at some supermarkets. You can also make your own by whizzing granulated sugar in a food processor until powdery.
Leave a Review
I made this with the following modifications after reading reviews: I made a half size pan using half the fruit but full recipe of custard ( I subbed fage nonfat greek yogurt for the creme fraiche, as I often do) and full recipe of topping. I toasted the pecans and I used whole wheat rather than AP flour, which increased the nutty flavor. i also left out the flour in the custard and in the fruit, and decreased the sugar in the fruit by a lot. We really liked the result; not fancy, but the custard added something nice and we liked it. It does not need ice cream on top, due to the custard.
I made this dessert shortly after the magazine it was in came out, and have made it for Thanksgiving ever since. I make it exactly the way the recipe says to, and have no issues with it. And I love that it's pear season around Thanksgiving. Anyway, a great dessert to offer a little something different besides pies for the holidays.
A very yummy dessert. Perfect for everyday or entertaining. Not a fine gourmet dish for entertaining, but very good! It would be more gourmet in appearance if plated, which I did not. I did heed the advice of earlier reviews and increased the topping; I doubled it and found it to be the perfect ratio. I also added a hint more lemon peel to the pear mixture. Some of my Bosc pears were not as ripe as the others, so in a pinch I used 2 Riviera pears to supplement. Rivieras are softer, so I don't recomend totally replacing the Bosc with those or any other softer pear or you will have mush, but a few in a pinch worked for me. Everyone in my discerning group of foodies liked this; I had requests for the recipe. It was not overly sugary nor overly pear-like.
it was a smash with all ages from 2 on up to 76 love this recipe we will definitely make it again and again and again
This recipe is a crowd-pleaser, but I had to modify it a bit. I double the amount of pecans in the topping (1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup), and I increase the custard mixture by 50%. There should also be an alternative recipe for the creme fraiche. It is quite expensive in supermarkets but is relatively easy to make at home by mixing 2 TBS. buttermilk with 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and letting this sit in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.
really delicious. I loved the custardy texture and flavor instead of just fruit. I left the lemon out of the filling and just used a little in the topping and it kept it from being too sweet. I might use a little less butter in the topping next time, it didn't really get crispy. I used apples and blackberries, as thats what I had.
I would rate this between 2 and 3 forks (that is, between "good" and "delicious"). I made it exactly as stated and thought it was a nice homey dessert. The custard filling did add a new twist to the standard fruit crisp recipe, but didn't immensely improve upon it. (I think I prefer custard in the context of fruit tarts, rather than integrated in crisps.) But it tasted good and was worth the try!
I've made this twice for my picky family, and everyone loved it. I did modify the recipe slightly the second time by making more custard and more crumbly topping, but mouths were watering over it both times regardless of the amounts. It's a perfect fall or winter dessert for those who want something other than chocolate.
I made this as is except lime juice and zest (I have a lime tree). It was delicious, everyone loved it, will make this again...
I am glad I didn't heed the negative reviews. This dessert is wonderful. I followed it pretty exactly and made it twice, once for Thanksgiving and once for New Years Eve. Elegant, wonderful and easy. Follow your instincts.

This is my second CW Post on Jersey: I have taken these photographs, they have never been published before, and as such are copyright of Shire Studios. They are of the Nazi underground hospital on the Channel Island of Jersey. They are from our thorough exploration of the Islands' remnants and artifacts of the Second World War when they were occupied by the Nazis.
Photo .1: Is a collection of signage recovered from within the hospital.
Photo .2: Is one of the Operating Theatres. (Chilling!)
Photo .3: Is the Ventilation/Purification System found in all WW2 German underground facilities, be they bunkers, storage, manufacturing or medical...Even the "Fuhrer Bunker" had this very system!.....they all used this standardised system. A hand crank (missing) could be fitted to the bottom of the unit, for cranking in a power failure!
Photo .4: Is the main air filtration plant....still operating to this day!
Hohlgangsanlage 8 (often abbreviated to Ho8, also known as the German Underground Hospital or the Jersey War Tunnels) was a partially completed underground hospital complex in St. Lawrence, Jersey, built by German occupying forces during the occupation of Jersey during World War II. Over 1 km (1,100 yd) of tunnels were completed. After the liberation of the Channel Islands, the complex was converted into a museum detailing the occupation and remains a visitor attraction.

Aminoaciduria is an abnormal amount of amino acids in the urine. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins in the body.
This article discusses the test used to look for increased amounts of amino acids in the urine.
See also:
Amino acids - urine; Urine amino acids
A clean-catch urine sample is needed. This is often done at your doctor's office or health clinic.
No special preparations are necessary. Make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you or your child are taking or have recently used. If this test is being done on an infant who is breast-feeding, make sure the health care provider knows what medicines the nursing mother is taking.
The test involves only normal urination.
This test is done to measure amino acid levels in the urine. There are many different types of amino acids. It is common for some of each kind to be found in the urine, but increased levels of individual amino acids can be a sign of an inborn error of metabolism.
The specific value is measured in micromoles per deciliter (micromol/dL).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased total urine amino acids may be due to:
Failure to have the urine sample promptly evaluated in the laboratory alters the results of the test.
This test is ineffective if the baby is under 6 weeks old and has not been fed dietary protein in the last 48 hours.
Urine chromatography is necessary to accurately measure increased levels of specific amino acids.
Screening infants for increased levels of amino acids can lead to early diagnosis of an inborn error of metabolism. If the condition is promptly treated, complications such as severe intellectual disability may be prevented.

Monroe County Justice Center plans take shape
SPARTA, Wis. - It's been in the works for years but plans to build a new justice center in Monroe County are finally taking shape.
On Wednesday night the County Board approved the first phase of drawings for the new justice center, 20-3.
It will give many departments a new home, including the jail, which will more than double in its capacity.
Just a quick tour of the Monroe County Jail is all you need to see it's getting a little cramped.20579398
"This is our booking area, so an officer will bring an inmate into this area if they're a little unruly or if there's more than one, we'll put one or two in the holding cell. As you can see, it's quite small, we can only fit two or three in there right now,"said Lisa Josvai, Chief Deputy of the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.
Josvai said it's exciting to feel like the project is becoming a reality.
"It looks like it's finally going to come to fruition, so it's very exciting," said Josvai.
The new jail will more than double the 69 beds it currently has to 180.
"We have to house an excess of 70 inmates in other counties. We'll be able to house all the Monroe County Jail inmates in one jail," said Josvai.
But it's not just the jail that will benefit from the new center -- the courtrooms will also be completely redone.
"Right now we have to escort the inmates through the public hallways and up the public elevators into the courtrooms and that will no longer be the case. In the new jail, we'll have a secure hallway that's only used for jail officers, bailiffs and inmates," said Josvai.
And after years of trying, those long-awaited changes are finally starting to take shape.
"Off the cuff, I'd say at least five times over the past 15 to 20 years," said Josvai.
The architects will now begin hashing out the details of the new building.
They hope to have the plans ready to go to bid by January of 2014 and break ground as soon as it thaws out.
The County Board approved $25 million for the project.

Almost all WSU men's basketball games to be televised
At least 30 of Washington State University men's basketball's 31, 2012-13 regular-season games will be televised, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott announced Wednesday, along with the Pac-12 men's basketball television schedule.
In addition, eight of the Pac-12 Tournament games will air on the Pac-12 Networks with one of the quarterfinal games being televised on ESPNU, one semifinal on ESPN or ESPN2 and the championship game on ESPN.
"We are excited to have the opportunity play all of our home, neutral-site and Pac-12 games on television this season," WSU Head Coach Ken Bone said. "Playing on the Pac-12, ESPN and Fox Networks will provide more exposure to the Washington State Basketball program, while allowing Cougar fans and supporters to follow the team more closely."
The Cougars will appear on the ESPN family of networks four times during the season, starting with the CBE Hall of Fame Classic semifinals when they take on Kansas at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19 on ESPN2. WSU will then be shown on either ESPNU or ESPN3 in either the championship game or consolation game of the tournament, Nov. 20. WSU's home games against Gonzaga (Dec. 5) and Washington (Jan. 5) will be televised on ESPNU.
Two of Washington State's games will be shown on FSN, its final two road games of the regular season. The Cougars play at Arizona, Saturday, Feb. 23 and at Washington, Sunday, March 3.
The rest of WSU's games will be shown on the Pac-12 Networks, including home nonconference games against Eastern Washington (Nov. 10), Utah Valley (Nov. 14), Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov. 24), Idaho (Nov. 28), Portland (Dec. 1), Fresno State (Dec. 9) and Jackson State (Dec. 13). Its neutral-site games against Buffalo (Seattle, Dec. 21) and Idaho State (Kennewick, Dec. 29) will also be on the Pac-12 Network.
The Cougars' remaining 15 Pac-12 games will air on the Pac-12 network, including home and road games against Arizona State, Oregon, Oregon State, USC and UCLA, road games against Stanford and California and home games against Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
The Pac-12 men's basketball package includes 150 games aired on the Pac-12 Networks, 47 on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU (including the Pac-12 Tournament championship game on ESPN), 22 games on FSN, and two nationally on CBS. Additional appearances will be made through other conference television agreements and various in-season tournaments. With the launch of the Pac-12 Networks, every Pac-12 home contest will be televised during the 2012-13 season.
Along with television, times were also announced for the games. Washington State will host Saint Martin's in non-televised exhibition action, Tuesday, Nov. 6 before opening the 2012-13 season Saturday, Nov. 10 against Eastern Washington. The time is yet to be determined for the matchup between the Cougars and Eagles due to it taking place the same day as a WSU football game.

I thought twice before I did this, and for anyone who is offended by the liberal Eastern press, I apologize for perhaps being the only guy on this board to ever post a link to the New York Times
It doesn't hurt to scout the other team. I live about 50 miles north of Hartford City mentioned in the article and the corn around here is in real trouble. It is starting to tassel out and is only about 3 to 4 feet tall in the good fields. The leaves are going from curled to brown. I see trouble this fall as the gasahol plants are competing with the food producers for what little corn there will be. What little rain we are getting is coming from thunderstorms that pop up from nowhere dump a little rain, then fizzle out. Not good at all.
That is just wrong. I had my smoker going a week ago but I let the hose run slowly around it while it was hot. I have a gas grill but it is even too hot to fire it up. Looking at our 4th day of 100+ to set a new recordHere is a first for me though, about 30 mins south of me, Clarksville, TN has a ban on using your grill.

Good Question: How can I get politicians to leave me alone?
No matter how engaged you are in the upcoming election, the phone calls, mailers and door knocks can get a little exhausting sometimes. With the mid-term election just eight days away, those campaign efforts are only going to pick up from here. So, what can you do to stop it?
There's a lot riding on next week's election, and the candidates are spending thousands - and, in some cases, millions - to make sure their message gets to you. You can't do much to stop the barrage of TV ads (and, frankly, as a TV station that makes money from those ads, we'd rather you didn't try!) But, you can curb the door knocks, the phone calls and even some of the mailers, just by doing something you were probably going to do already!
Every day, the political parties request something called a matchback from the elections office. It's a list of all the registered voters in the county and, it lists which voters have returned their ballots. The parties don't want to waste money, so if your ballot is returned, they cross you off the list. No more phone calls. No more door knocks and a lot fewer ads in the mail.
Of course, this only works for Washington voters (sorry, Idaho!). Also, it won't eliminate every call and mailer because some are put out by independent groups. But, the local politicians will likely stop trying to reach you if they know your ballot has already been cast.
It's that simple; the sooner you return your ballot, the sooner the campaigning will stop. As for the TV ads? Well, you'll just have to put up with those a little bit longer. We prefer you don't shut off the TV altogether!

Some of the most enlightening conversations I have about technology are with the families I visit for Family Gamer TV. Because they haven't usually tried the tech or games previously, they ask some excellent questions.
I've recently introduced Wonderbook: Book of Spells to one of these families and was interested to hear their queries about what else the PlayStation 3 could do. Since we'd last spoke they had worked their way through the majority of the chapters in the Book of Spells and had given Little Big Planet Karting a go.

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-97-06, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, January, 1997
|This thesis describes the automatic reconstruction of 3D object models from observa-tion of real objects. As a result of the significant advancement of graphics hardware and image rendering algorithms, 3D computer graphics capability has become available even on low-end computers. However, it is often the case that 3D object models are created manu-ally by users. That input process is normally time-consuming and can be a bottleneck for realistic image synthesis. Therefore, techniques to obtain object models automatically by observing real objects could have great significance in practical applications.
For generating realistic images of a 3D object, two aspects of information are neces-sary: the object?s shape and its reflectance properties such as color and specularity. A num-ber of techniques have been developed for modeling object shapes by observing real objects. However, attempts to model reflectance properties of real objects have been rather limited. In most cases, modeled reflectance properties are too simple or too complicated to be used for synthesizing realistic images of the object.
One of the main reasons why modeling of reflectance properties has been unsuccessful, compared with modeling of object shapes, is that both diffusely reflected lights and specu-larly reflected lights, i.e., the diffuse and specular reflection components, are treated together, and therefore, estimation of reflectance properties becomes unreliable. To elimi-nate this problem, the two reflection components should be separated prior to estimation of reflectance properties. For this purpose, we developed a new method called goniochromatic space analysis (GSA) which separates two fundamental reflection components from a color image sequence.
Based on GSA, we studied two approaches for generating 3D models from observation of real objects. For objects with smooth surfaces, we developed a new method which exam-ines a sequence of color images taken under a moving light source. The diffuse and specular reflection components are first separated from the color image sequence; then, object sur-face shapes and reflectance parameters are simultaneously estimated based on the separation results. For creating object models with more complex shapes and reflectance properties, we proposed another method which uses a sequence of range and color images. In this method, GSA is further extended to handle a color image sequence taken by changing object posture.
To extend GSA to a wider range of applications, we also developed a method for shape and reflectance recovery from a sequence of color images taken under solar illumination. The method was designed to handle various problems particular to images taken using solar illuminations, e.g., more complex illumination and shape ambiguity caused by the sun?s coplanar motion.
This thesis presents new approaches for modeling object surface reflectance properties, as well as shapes, by observing real objects in both indoor and outdoor environments. The methods are based on a novel method called goniochromatic space analysis for separating the two fundamental reflection components from a color image sequence.
