Is that red sauce, or a bloodbath? Dallas' Italian restaurant scene has a serious problem
I crave Italian food, pretty much permanently. That's why I read Sarah Blaskovitch's post earlier today about a new Italian restaurant planned for later this year with great interest. DRG Concepts, she writes, the group that owns Dallas Chop House and other downtown restaurants, plans to open Oven and Cellar downtown, with former Wild Salsa chef Kelly Hightower in charge of the kitchen.
I can't wait, seriously. Will it be good? Who knows. The important thing is it'll be Italian. Or at least ostensibly Italian. Need pasta. Need salumi. Need antipasti. Don't you?
I certainly hope Oven and Cellar will be good, as we have a real situation here in Big D when it comes to Italian restaurants: There are absurdly few (obscenely few, upsettingly few) good or even decent ones. Plus, we're hemorrhaging them. I was not a big fan of Mi Piaci, but wore black when it closed recently. Ditto Arcodoro and Pomodoro. Sfuzzi (of which I also was not a fan) closed earlier this year. Isabella's Italia in Frisco, Cibus and D'Carlo closed last year; we lost La Fiorentina and Ristorante Nicola the year before. OK, most were mediocre at best; there is certainly a reason they closed. Meanwhile, Fedora in One Arts Plaza, which closed a month ago due to a small fire, still has not reopened. (A spokesperson told me at the time it would be closed five to seven business days; since then, a One Arts Plaza publicist told me they're remodeling, and will re-open "very soon.")
So where can a discerning Italian food lover go when that craving hits? There's Lucia, the Bishop Arts trattoria that's one of only two Dallas restaurants with five stars currently. (Good luck getting in.) Otherwise, our notable Italian restaurants are a dying breed. There's Zio Cecio Cucina Italiana, Francesco Farris' friendly place on West Lovers. There's Princi Italia, but I haven't been there for awhile. (Need to go!). There's a bevvy of good pizza spots, of course, but that's not the same. And Carbone's Fine Food and Wine, Julian Barsotti's laid-back deli-restaurant in Oak Lawn.
Of course we have Nonna, Barsotti's place in Highland Park. Last night I had spectacular antipasti there (outstanding salumi; devilishly rich brioche crostini with lobster, pancetta, butter and rosemary; fried lamb meatballs with marinated, thin-sliced cucumbers and summer squash and a Calabrian chile aioli; and a fritto misto that included softshell crawfish, spring onions, zucchini and shrimp). But the pasta, clunky, tough and terribly oversalted, was so disappointing I figured the chef wasn't in the house. He was. Fortunately, the main courses — Gulf red snapper with a profusion of unusual beans and a tangy salmorglio sauce, and pancetta-wrapped quail stuffed with Italian sausage, risotto and leeks, were terrific.
I know, any restaurant can have an off night. But with our dearth of good Italian places, it feels like a tragedy if one of our two best sends out terrible pasta. Barsotti's pasta can be — and usually is — so fabulous that to be so disappointed by it felt like my world was crumbling around me. (Meanwhile, while Carbone's is still very good, it's sitting on a four-star rating, and the last dinner I had there was definitely not four-star quality.)
Our dining scene in Big D has become so sophisticated and exciting and interesting, I can't understand why we're so deficient when it comes to Italian cooking. (Same story with French food, while we're on the subject.) At the very least, we need our best Italian chefs to stay on top of their games. (Per piacere!) I dream of other talented chefs joining their ranks.
That's why I'm excited about Oven and Cellar. And about Saint Rocco, the Italian place Phil Romano plans to open at some point this year in Trinity Groves. Let us all pray for cooking of quality.

Wages & Benefits - Health Insurance
Kentucky Employees' Health Plan (KEHP) is a self-funded program providing health insurance benefits to the employees and retirees of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, local school boards, some cities and county governmental agencies. Kentucky Employees' Health Plan currently offers coverage to approximately 285,000 employees, retirees and their dependents. Visit http://personnel.ky.gov/dei/ for more information.
Retiree health insurance information is located at:
KTRS Medicare Eligible Participants (ktrs.ky.gov/05_publications/MEHP%202015%20UPDATE.pdf)
KRS Retirees (https://kyret.ky.gov/health-insurance/Pages/Open-Enrollment-PY2015aspx)
KEHP Vendor Updates
Additional information can also be found at https://personnel.ky.gov/Pages/KEHPvendorupdates.aspx
Your Kentucky Employees' Health Plan (KEHP) aims to provide you with the best possible level of coverage, administration, and customer service. KEHP recently announced new medical and pharmacy plan administrators, effective January 2015:
- Medical: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem) will be the third party medical claims administrator beginning January 1, 2015. Anthem has operated in Kentucky for more than 75 years, and is the largest carrier in the Commonwealth. KEHP is excited to work with this new partner, who will offer an even bigger network of providers, excellent service and technology, and significant opportunities to help hold down costs.
- Pharmacy: CVS Caremark will be the third party pharmacy administrator beginning January 1, 2015. The CVS Caremark network includes more than 67,000 pharmacies nationwide, including chain pharmacies and 20,000 independent pharmacies. It is important to know that you do not have to use a CVS pharmacy and may continue to use your existing retail, grocery store, independent pharmacy, etc.
Since KEHP remains a self-insured plan with benefits designed in-house, most members will likely see no change from the benefits and providers currently available. As this transition begins, KEHP's priority is to provide extensive, ongoing communications and assistance throughout the fall open enrollment period.
If you have questions please see the FAQs at https://personnel.ky.gov/Pages/KEHPvendorupdates.aspx

The trade would have us send our 1st and 2nd pick this year and an additional pick next year for the chiefs 1st this year which would help us replace long with jouckel. If we sign a cb ye and wr in FA this would be a great move. Incarceratedbob is a very reliable source.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
[Here's your visual!] Imagine a kettle hole almost 500 acres in size, over two miles long, almost a mile wide, shaped something like Africa. The deepest spot is about 70 feet, rock outcroppings, shoals and navigation markers to keep day use "googans" off them; bass that test tackle, holdover trout over three pounds, pout that'll scare ya comin'out of their bottom holes and white suckers well into the seven pound range. Beaver downstream, bear, coyotes, fisher, weasel, porcupine, deer, skunks, ducks, herons, loons, charming little snapping turtles - Nope, that's not my lake !
This past Sunday, a friends' youngest walked on to the dock with his Snoopy fishing rod and some kind of lure, most likely found in some of my stuff in the bedroom. He'd left the family worms at home, covered, on the kitchen table - home is over three hours away; they wouldn't return 'til the next day. Tim's mother handed him the cover to the worm container and told him to put it ON the worm container while at home - she failed to mention he should BRING the container to the car so it would travel with them
Tim decided he wanted to catch Mrs. Bass, who lives under the dock. Dangling the lure over the side of the walkway in a little less than three feet of water, he bent over to see if the fish would have any of it. Now, picture a kindergartener, intent on catching the monster hiding beneath him, bent over while standing at the edge of a wood walkway over water.
Mrs. Bass accommodated Tim, she did - she took the presentation and immediately started for deeper water. Well, Tim was so surprised, and so bent over the walkway when she hit, that he took a little swim when she started her run!!!
Tim ended up being pulled off the walkway in a perfect flat dive. Mrs. Bass continued to run, pulling the hook, effecting her escape. I suspect she took cover beneath my boat, moored some fifty feet away from the dock.
Tim, shaken and soaked, but none the worse for wear, climbed back onto the walkway.
He never let go of the rod the whole time
sounds so picturesque, the dock, the water, the boat....but i am having a little trouble visualizing it....maybe if i knew where it was and could see the scene for myself, i could get a line to her, i mean, get a line on what a beatiful scene it must be on your home waters
|JD, I put my dock in a week ago. Yesterday I had to go to the lake. I was dipping water into the watering can and a 20" smallie and I started playing hide&seek - every time I'd walk down the ramp, the fish would gently slide away about four feet, turn and watch me dip the can, then move back under the dock as I walked away. This fish and I know each other I know her markings; She lives under and between my dock and boat all summer. She weighs a little over three pounds.

lunchtime sunnies & bass
Such a beautiful day today that I walked to a local pond with the 3 wt at lunch. It was a good decision bvecause the sunfish are schooling up in prespawn locations. After some sunnies on a pt nymph I decided to sight cast to the largemouth bass cruising about. I only got 1 but it was a good fight. The carp were milling about sunning and I got a look at a wooly bugger but no bites. Probably a good thing the 3 wt would be too light for them.

Amy (We Tree) has created a new list of weekly prompts for GeneaBloggers for 2010. In this, the first of 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy, we're encouraged to visit the library to see what materials are available there to assist our research. As I was planning to go soon anyway, the prompt gave me the extra motivation I needed to get out the door and do it.
I had three goals for today's visit:
- I hope to participate in a few more GeneaBlogger activities this year. As a rule, I am a self-proclaimed meme-slacker and marcher to a different drum. Having attention deficit disorder makes it difficult enough to stay on my path without being distracted by other ideas. But I want to make more use of those group activities which will not only help me accomplish what I'm working on at the moment, but also help to build and harness the group energy that comes from such activities. Today, mission accomplished!
- I wanted to learn how to use the membership databases that my library provides access to: Footnote, Heritage Quest, ProQuest, and Ancestry Library Edition. Mount Clemens Public Library has a really nice genealogy room with lots of resources. The Macomb County Genealogy Group meets at this library, and I had attended the November meeting when a presentation showed how to use Footnote. I had tried some searches at home, but I was very glad that a genealogy room volunteer was available today to walk me through the procedure for accessing the database on my own laptop via the library's wireless, and other Footnote fine points I'd forgotten since the presentation. Again, mission accomplished!
- Almost two years ago, I posted some pictures of a burned building that I'd found among my grandparents' things. I'd been able to identify them as the Wadsworth Factory which burned August 1, 1919, based on a photo at John Davis' website, Detroit Engine Works. John and I corresponded at that time, and I was pleased to hear from him a few days ago. He wrote to let me know his research has continued and he's updated his website with additional information about the fire. All along, I had assumed he lived here in the Detroit area, but he's actually in Florida. Now that I'm living here in Michigan, and knowing that my library received The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press on micofilm when our county library closed, I hoped I might find some news articles about the Wadsworth fire to send him. Unfortunately, in this goal I was thwarted to some extent. The oldest microfilmed Detroit newspapers in this library date back only as far as 1939. However, my very well-informed genealogy room volunteer told me that older Free Press archives are available from ProQuest, which she showed me how to use. This will surely be of use to me in the future. And I did find some Wadsworth articles, although judging from the excellent body of information on John's website, I don't think my finds will be adding anything new to his research. So, while this mission was not accomplished, I did learn something useful about another library resource available to me.
Part 6 of a series featuring the Bloodhound Cousins continues soon at Before My Time!

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Gary W
Thanks for the information.
I think the fact that there is so much opposition to the land based farm in Wales, illustrates the point that the general public would be more opposed to this than a sea cage farm. I suspect that the opposition would not be so strong if the farm was in sea nets/cages in a similar area.
That was a great thread that you pointed me to. It's a dreadful situation that yet another government is ignorant enough to ignore the environmental consequences of salmon farming in order to claim the glory for economical growth in rural areas. The truth behind the economic growth is that the financial rewards largely go to foreign companies that seem to be working their way round the globe destroying their neighbours marine environments.
Gary, I'm no expert, so don't take this as gospel. I believe, though, that organic aquaculture really isn't a lot better from the environmental aspect. They don't use the same artificial dyes in the feed to produce the vividly coloured flesh, and I think don't use medicine (eg antibiotics) routinely as a prophylactic, but only to treat outbreaks of disease. Don't know about stocking densities - they may well be lower than conventional farms, but will still be vastly higher than would ever occur in nature, so pollution will still occur. Nor do I know how they control lice - I remember reading something once about using another fish (a wrasse, possibly?) in the cages that was supposed to feed on the lice, like birds eating ticks on cattle, but don't know whether that ever came to anything. I certainly think the pellets on which the fish are fed are likely to come from just the same sources as conventional fish food - ie industrial hoovering-up of sandeels etc which form such a crucial part of the food chain, not only for fish but also seabirds. If you want to know more about the impact of organic farms, I think you can contact Bruce Sandison through that site I linked above; he will know much more than me. If there isn't a link, I have his email somewhere.
A land-based farm is theoretically possible, but it would have to pass its water through a purification system. This is likely to be very expensive indeed - see the figures suggested by OC towards the bottom of page 1 of this thread from a little time ago: http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flyta...&threadid=8822
A planning application has just been submitted for a land-based farm in Wales which proposes to pass its waste water through beds of sand stocked with lugworm, which are supposed to filter out the pollutants. The worms will then be harvested to sell to fishermen to use as bait. Interesting theory, but I wonder if it will really work. Here's a couple of links to the story http://icnorthwales.icnetwork.co.uk/...l&siteid=50142 and http://www.llanfairfechan.org.uk/~ab...y/itsfishy.htm
You may well be right about the visibility of farms, although if you go to the west coast of Scotland or Ireland you can hardly miss the cages, since they tend to be sited close to shore. There might also be issues with smell, for example, and it would be less easy to dispose of dead fish; at present it appears that they are often just dumped into the sea, which is of course in itself a source of pollution.
You're right about the politics aspect of fishing - if only it wasn't necessary!
|Gary W
I believe that salmon farming companies shy away from farming in landlocked areas for two reasons. Inland farming is generally more visible and immediate to the general public, thus increasing the level of opposition to more than just groups with an interest in wild salmon.
I also believe that the water quality would quickly become contaminated to a level that could not sustain the lives of salmon.
While I am an avid salmon angler, I am relatively new to the politics involved(wish there was not a necessity to get into politics for the love of our sport), so these are merely my opinions.
Sadly, we find ourselves talking more about solutions to these problems than about fishing itself.
There is also a company in Scotland that cultivates organic salmon(?) . Comendable, but until legislation is brought in to get all salmon farmers to give wider and closer consideration to the environment, it seems a very small step in the right direction.
Also, the fish may be fewer in volume in the cages, but to acheive a profit and grow the fish in a timescale that sustains the business, do these organic farms still feed the fish with a high protien diet(i.e. condensed fish food made from tonnes of natural resource that should be available as prey for wild salmon)?
Please correct me if I am wrong; I am on a learning curve at the moment.
Interesting that you mention open-water farming of salmon, Gary. There is a company called Glenarm that have been doing this for some time off the coast of Co Antrim - I think a Google search will find it for you. As well as producing a superior product (I've seen them on fishmongers' slabs; they look much better than the usual farmed fish), I believe they do avoid some of the problems of conventional aquaculture. The fish are stocked at lower densities, which reputedly lessens the buildup of lice and waste under the cages, assisted also by the open-sea currents in which the cages are sited (which also help to build firmer flesh). They are a premium product among farmed salmon.
But they are still far from perfect. Although the faecal waste isn't concentrated in one place, it is still produced. To claim that the sea is big enough and it will be sufficiently diluted not to matter is an outdated attitude - we can no longer continue to regard the sea as a convenient dustbin for untreated sewage, whether from humans, animals or farmed fish. There are also problems with escapes - Google will lead you to stuff about such incidents from the Glenarm farm and the impact on the genetic integrity of stock in local rivers. Remember that escapes from farms could transmit diseases and parasites (eg ISA and Gyrodactylus) to river systems, too, with catastrophic results. And the point Andy makes about the oceans being pillaged to produce fish food for farmed salmon remains, as it does for all aquaculture.
There is no doubt in my mind that on-shore fish farming is the best way. Pollution, disease and escapes can all be controlled far more easily that way, though the food issue remains unresolved.
It's been linked before, but if you want to read more, look at www.salmonfarmmonitor.org
|Gary W
I am no expert, but I have heard that sea lice do not attach themselves to cod. If that was the case, at least our migratory fish, and returning smolts, would be free to run the gauntlet of the cages without the threat of being overly infested with sea lice.
Maybe somebody can enlighten me as to whether sea lice attach themselves to species such as cod(?).
As we all know, it is high time that the salmon farmers were forced to increase there overheads by farming in more open waters(non migratory routes), where the pollutants from their industry would have a less direct effect than they do in smaller sea lochs.
I wish I knew more about this subject and will be watching closely for similar threads.
|Andy Wren
Cod farming
The salmon farmers going over to cod might well just change the species that polluting ,there will still be masses of fecal matter below the cages ,still huge amounts of fish food going to feed them ,maybe lice as well I dont know on that a fishery biologist would have to say .
|Gary W
Wouldn't it be a good idea to eliminate all net fisheries and offer the net fisherman training and jobs in the angling tourism business(i.e. ghillies, bailiffs, etc.)?
I know, I know, a sweeping idealistic approach; it would be nice.
While we are doing this, we could also force salmon farmers into farming cod. They would get as good, if not a better price than they do for their salmon, and the wild cod stocks could be allowed to recover. Idealistic?

Who you met a week or so again says thanks for the Hardy spool you pointed us at ,.
Gardener ,thanks for the invite ,its real conservation in action .
Mylo ,Ireland does some stonking things with salmon ,Currane being a great example ,but the nets are an anacronism .
sorry all its nearing my bedtime .
Malcom , see you very soon ,got some days on the braes .

The story I liked best regarding the queen mother, was from days gone by pre catch and release. An angler foul hooked and landed a fine salmon but seeing, her royal highness the queen mother fishing opposite he immediately returned the fish. He then heard the conversation
QM: - Gillie what is he doing over there?
Gillie: - he just returned a fish Mam
QM: - Dammed fool..
Malcolm, has anyone determined the correct etiquette if you are fishing the Dee and a member of the royal family appears on the other bank?
You will no doubt recall that story of the lady who dropped a deep curtsey to the Queen Mother when wading down a pool and filled her waders!
You had me grinning ear to ear! What at hoot (what we call it here in the colonies).
Thanks Willie, Sir, for clearing that up.
Ah well, as we used to say at the City Livery Club members table, ".....once a Lord, always a lord, once a Knight is enough!"

Seeing the question of an URL came up I thought it might be a good time to remind you (ex)colonials of the order of things.
Just in case you ever get invited to fish with any of the upper classes.
Titles of nobility in descending order are as follows: duke, marquess (not marquis, except in foreign contexts and occasional Scottish titles), earl, viscount and baron. At first mention, give the formal title (as in Who's Who) eg, the Marquess of Paddington, the Earl of Waterloo, but then Lord Paddington, Lord Waterloo etc. This does not apply to barons, who are always Lord except in the announcement of new baronies. Dukes are always dukes and do not become Lord (eg, the Duke of Rutland). Note style of the 2nd Earl, the 3rd Viscount etc.
Baronesses in their own right or life peeresses are Baroness at first mention, and then Lady (eg, Baroness Thatcher, then Lady Thatcher).
The wife of a duke is a duchess (and is always called Duchess, eg, the Duchess of X); the wife of a marquess is a marchioness, of an earl a countess, of a viscount a viscountess. Use Lady at second and subsequent mentions. The wife of a baronet, eg, Sir John Euston, should be called Lady Euston from the start. Widows or former wives of all these titles who have not remarried use their Christian name before the title, eg, Margaret Duchess of Argyll (no commas). A widow may also be known as the Dowager Duchess of Y, or the Dowager Lady Z.
Apart from royalty (eg, the Duke of York), all these titles take l/c rather than cap after the first mention (eg, the Duke of Argyll, thereafter the duke).
Some titles include a place name , eg, Lord Callaghan of Cardiff, Baroness Jay of Paddington, while others do not. Again, follow Who's Who, where those whose place name must be included appear in bold caps.
Always give the full title at first mention, thereafter the abbreviated form, eg, Lord Bingham of Cornhill, thereafter Lord Bingham. Among titles spelt differently from the place name are the Marquess of Ailesbury, Marquess of Donegall, Earl of Guilford, Earl of Scarbrough.
Take great care with the use of first names with titles, especially the wives of peers, baronets and knights. The wife of Lord St Pancras is simply Lady St Pancras. The wife of Sir John Fenchurch is simply Lady Fenchurch (together, Sir John and Lady Fenchurch). However, when the name is a common one and there is no other convenient identification, or where there is some other compelling reason to give the first name, it is permissible to say Lady (John) Brown (brackets essential; see last sentence of next paragraph).
Baronets and knights are known as Sir John Smith, thereafter Sir John. Again, to repeat this essential point, no wife of a baronet or knight takes her Christian name in her title unless she is the daughter of a duke, a marquess or an earl. If a baronet has had more than one wife, the first wife is, eg, Mary Lady Smith (no commas) - the same form applies to the widow of a baron. If a knight has had more than one wife, the former wife puts her Christian name in brackets, eg, Lady (Alice) Brown, to distinguish her from the present wife, Lady Brown.
Also, if there are two baronets or knights with the same name, their wives (when mentioned apart from their husbands), put his Christian name in brackets, eg, Lady (Stephen) Brown, Lady (Andrew) Brown.
Dames of an order of chivalry take the same style as knights, eg, Dame Felicity Brown, thereafter Dame Felicity. A dame who is married may prefer to use her own style, eg, Dame Margaret Arrowroot, wife of Lord Arrowroot of Nice; personal preferences should be respected.

Syracuse gets embarrassed

Last night in the Carrier Dome, Syracuse put on one of the more pathetic showings I've ever witnessed in front of a home crowd. They got blown out by Seton Hall, a team currently sitting near the bottom of the Big East, and a team they had already defeated earlier in the year (sans Jeremy Hazell). The defense was atrocious (again), there was no urgency on offense, as well as a total lack of...

Hello Panda – Strawberry and Double Choco
January 27th, 2014 by Rosa
Hello Panda is Meiji's answer to Lotte's Koala's March: cream-filled cookies imprinted with cute animal cartoons. I got a couple of boxes to try in my free MunchPak samples, first in Strawberry and the following month in Double Choco.
The Hello Panda biscuits were either round or round with ears, like teddy bear heads. The Strawberry version was vanilla biscuits with strawberry cream, while Double Chocos were chocolate biscuits with "choco" cream.
Compared to the Koala's March, the Hello Pandas had a more substantial crunch and a greater cookie to filling ratio. Strawberry's biscuit was lightly sweet, while the center strawberry cream had the texture of a solid frosting and a floral sweetness to its artificial strawberry flavor.
The chocolate cookie of the Double Choco was darker in both appearance and flavor. It had a slight cocoa bittersweetness, like a mild Oreo cookie, and its chocolate filling was creamy with a slightly greasy feel.
I liked the Double Choco better than the Strawberry, which was too artificially floral for my taste. I did wish, however, that the Double Choco had more intensity of chocolate flavor and wasn't quite so greasy. An O for both.

Man with gun killed by police in Sunnyside
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. - A man who was shot by police Wednesday afternoon in Sunnyside died of his wound at a hospital.
Sunnyside Police Sgt. Joey Glossen says the man had been firing a gun near a convenience store and continued as an officer arrived and took a defensive position.
Glossen says when the man turned the gun toward the officer, the officer fired.
The dead man is identified as 27-year-old Raymond Ayala of Outlook.
Neighbors told KIMA and KNDO the man was firing into the air and shot windows at the TW Mini Market, but Glossen said the shooting didn't have anything to do with the store.
The motive for the shooting is unknown but Glossen says it's not gang-related.
The Washington State Patrol is investigating.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:12 PM GMT on April 10, 2012
Not only was March 2012 the warmest March in the U.S. since record keeping began in 1895, it was also the second most extreme month for warmth in U.S. history, said NOAA yesterday, in their monthly "State of the Climate" report. The average temperature of 51.1°F was 8.6 degrees above the 20th century average for March, and 0.5°F warmer than the previous warmest March in 1910. Of the more than 1,400 months that have passed since the U.S. weather records began in 1895, only one month--January 2006--had a larger departure from its average temperature than March 2012. A remarkable 25 states east of the Rockies had their warmest March on record, and an additional 15 states had a top-ten warmest March. Only four states were cooler than average, with Alaska being the coldest (tenth coldest March on record.)
Figure 1. Temperature rankings for March 2012 in the Contiguous U.S. Twenty five states set records for warmest March in the 118-year records (red colors.) Image credit: NOAA.
March 2012: most daily records broken of any month since July 1936
A wunderground analysis of weather records from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center temperature record database reveals that more daily high temperature records were broken in March in 2012 than for any month except July 1936, going back at least 100 years. Fully 11.3% of all daily high temperature records for the month of March in the U.S. are now held by the year 2012, for the 550 stations in NOAA's National Climatic Data Center database that have weather records extending back at least 100 years. The only month in U.S. history holding a higher percentage of daily temperatures records is July 1936. That month holds 14.4% of all the U.S. high temperature records for the month of July. That month occurred in the great Dust Bowl summer of 1936, the hottest summer in U.S. history.
Summer in March 2012: records not merely smashed, but obliterated
Among the 15,000 daily records for warmth set in March 2012 were 21 truly astonishing ones: cases where the low temperature for the day beat the previous high temperature for the day. It is quite rare for a weather station with a 50+ year period of record to break a daily temperature record by more than 10°F. During "Summer in March, 2012", beating daily records by 10° - 20°F was commonplace, and NOAA lists 44 cases where a daily record was broken by more than 22°F. Extraordinarily, four stations broke a record for the date by 30°F or more. Canada holds the most surreal record of this nature during the "Summer in March, 2012" heat wave: Western Head, Nova Scotia hit 29.2°C (85°F) on March 22, breaking their previous record for the date (10.6°C in 1969) by 18.6°C (33.5°F.) Canada also had several stations break their all-time warmest April temperature records in March.
Last 3 months and 12 months were the warmest on record
The previous 12-month period (April 2011 -March 2012), which includes the second hottest summer (June-August) and fourth warmest winter (December-February), was the warmest such period for the contiguous United States. The year-to-date period (January - March) was also the warmest on record. NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index, an index that tracks the highest 10 percent and lowest 10 percent of extremes in temperature, precipitation, and drought, was 39 percent, nearly twice the long-term average and the highest value on record for the January - March period. The predominant factor was the large area experiencing extremes in warm daily maximum and minimum temperatures.
Analyzing the "Summer in March, 2012" heat wave
Dr. Martin Hoerling of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder has posted a thorough analysis of the heat wave, which he calls, "Meteorological March Madness 2012". He explains that the event was probably a natural phenomenon, one that was predicted more than a month in advance by NOAA's long-range CFS model. A similar, though not as intense heat wave occurred in March 1910. However, he notes that the approximate 0.5 - 1°C warming in the Ohio Valley/Midwest U.S. in recent decades--due to human-caused emission of heat trapping gases like carbon dioxide--has significantly increased the odds of major heat waves occurring. He speculates that the odds of a 1-in-40 year heat wave in the Midwest may have increased by about 50% due to human-caused global warming, but that we really don't know how much global warming may have increased the odds of the March 2012 heat wave, saying "This issue of estimating reliable statistics of extreme, rare events continues to be a matter of active research." He estimates that human-caused global warming likely increased the intensity of the March 12 - 23, 2012 heat wave by about 5 - 10%, and concludes by saying, "The probability of heatwaves is growing as [human-caused] warming continues to progress. But there is always the randomness."

first coral
i bought my first coral saturday! it is a dragon eye zoanthid. any tips on caring for this coral, feeding, lighting, hardiness? my setup is biocube 14 with a blue actinic, a 10000k daylight, a 3 watt lunar led bar and a 3 watt white led bar. i have kent marine microvert food for inverts and also some supplements such as iodide, cacium and strontium and molybdenum
Sorry I missed this thread johncomeau8.
My zoanthid's get plenty of light. Thats all the feeding I give them. I'm sure when I feed baby brine shrimp to my sun coral and popcorns some flow over to the zoa's but I do not target feed them.
If they are open while the light is on they are getting what they need. If they start to stretch towards the light during the day you may want to move them higher in the tank.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.

Finding Help on the Brink of Eviction
What To Do When Time Is Short
Q. I just received notice that I will be evicted from my apartment if I do not pay the rent in three days. I missed a payment because I lost my job and have run through my unemployment benefits and savings. My parents are deceased so there's no "home" for me to move back into, and I don't have any friends I can stay with. I'm afraid my cat and I will be homeless, and it is cold out. Please help.
A. I'm so sorry. Please don't panic: Help is out there for you. Gather up the eviction notice, unpaid bills, bank statements; unemployment payment stubs and other financial information and put it in a folder for quick reference. Then start calling private and public agencies that help people in your situation. Lists of such agencies can be found on the websites of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Denver's Road Home. You may be able to get help with rent payments, employment and/or finding another place to stay such as transitional housing or a homeless shelter (unfortunately, you may not be allowed to bring your pet).
If you find another place, move quickly. Otherwise, after the three-day period is over, the landlord will no longer have to accept your rent payment and will file a "summons and complaint" that demands that you appear in court for an eviction trial. This complaint will remain a public record, and may hamper your attempts to find housing in the future.
But if you want to fight the eviction, contact Legal Aid, which gives free legal help to low-income people. You may have some valid technical grounds for fighting, such as the eviction notice not having the proper language or rent amount. The landlord will have to respond to this answer, which will buy you a little more time in your apartment.
During this time, if you find a job, you may be able to negotiate a settlement with the landlord that allows you to stay. Make sure that it is in writing and ratified by the eviction trial judge. The case against you will be dismissed.
But if you do not move out or answer the complaint, the judge will enter a default judgment against you for possession of the premises. The sheriff will evict you and remove your property. If you leave your pet behind, it will be turned over to the city's animal control.
If you can find enough money to get through this crisis, take immediate steps to prevent this situation from happening again. For instance, is your apartment big enough for you to take on a roommate? Are you close enough to public transportation that you could sell your car and still be able to job hunt?
If not, look for more affordable housing and better employment prospects, perhaps in another city. It is better to move out on your own than to have the sheriff move you out.
Write to June Fletcher at email@example.com.

Natchez Trace 'raceway' too much for one driver
Kudos to John L. Pitts for his column "Natchez Trace too deadly for bicycles" in Monday's paper. The Natchez Trace is almost too deadly for me to drive, and I have driven the Trace almost twice daily Monday through Friday for nine-and-a-half years. It is so convenient for me for my commute into Tupelo; however, I have been rethinking this route lately. It is too much to actually believe what I see and have seen five days a week.
I personally call this roadway Natchez Trace Raceway. Drivers have a hard time stopping at stop signs to enter the Trace. Drivers always pull right out in front of you, especially at the Highway 78 entrance, headed south every morning.
One morning a group of bicyclists passed this particular entrance riding north, and I held my breath – it was a very close call for everyone, even me, and I was traveling south.
Last Friday afternoon at 5:35 p.m. I truly believed a riot was about to start among drivers. I was the lead vehicle behind a lone cyclist. When I came upon the cyclist, I immediately slowed down, pressed the button for my flashers to turn on and made absolutely certain I was more than within the three-feet law. There was no immediate clear path to simply pass the cyclist. Once this traffic cleared out, after about 15 minutes, drivers passed me as though I were sitting still. And I can tell you the drivers who passed me were not happy drivers.
Gee, people , be a little civil, especially to the ones riding the bicycles. One person who has lost their life on the Trace is one too many. As long as bicycles and cars share this road, manners and good driving habits are going to have to co-exist.

Cambodia: Hundreds of thousands affected by floods
Water is still dripping from Heng Chey's* clothes as he sits shaking by Tonle Sap Lake in north-west Cambodia. He was crossing a bridge when it was swept away by a rush of floodwater.
"I saw that the bridge was already flooded, but I thought I could still make it," he said. "If the people around me did not help to pull me out, the force of the water would have swept me away."
Since September, heavy rainfall has triggered severe flooding in north-west and south-east Cambodia, causing extensive damage across 20 of the country's 24 provinces. In some provinces, areas that are normally considered safe were inundated. According to the Government, 188 people have been killed and almost 145,000 have been evacuated. Hundreds of families are still waiting for assistance, as many areas remain waterlogged.
"Information from initial assessments that we undertook with national authorities indicate that in some provinces, the floods are more extensive than in 2011," said Clare Van der Vaeren, the UN Resident Coordinator for Cambodia.
"I am particularly concerned about the situation in Battambang and Banteay Meancheay provinces (in western Cambodia), where in some cases water levels have reached the roofs of houses."
Water, sanitation and shelter are the most pressing needs
Flooding is a perennial problem in Cambodia. However, this year additional flash floods have wreaked havoc. Typhoon Nari brought heavy rains to northern Cambodia and southern Thailand in mid-October, causing rivers and dams in the north to overflow.
An estimated 377,000 families need water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) support and shelter assistance.
Due to overcrowded and unsanitary evacuation centres, there are now fears of outbreaks of acute watery diarrhoea. Cambodia's Humanitarian Response Forum (HRF) – a coordination platform that brings together authorities and national and international humanitarian organizations – has warned that children are susceptible.
"Young children and other vulnerable persons with compromised immunity or malnutrition are [at greatest risk] from contaminated water sources and increased pathogens within the environment," said the forum in a recent report.
"We are supporting the Government-led national response by facilitating joint assessments and providing assistance on the ground," wrote the HRF co-chairs, Caroline McCausland of the NGO Action Aid and Gian Pietro Bordignon of the World Food Programme, in a recent message.
"Distributions of food supplies and non-food items have taken place in the majority of affected provinces, particularly through the Cambodian Red Cross and local authorities, as well as local and international non-governmental organizations."
OCHA provides emergency funding
Floodwaters are now receding across much of the country. However, this is taking longer than expected in some areas. In Kampong Cham, 60 families must wait another two or three weeks before they can return home and start rebuilding their lives.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is working with these families. Brett Dickson, an IOM Project Coordinator, said: "When people are moved to safe areas they also need temporary shelters with adequate space for all their needs, including separate shelter for their affected livestock."
To support such efforts, OCHA released an Emergency Cash Grant of US$50,000 to fund WASH and shelter operations. The grant will help IOM to provide basic shelter materials for the families of Kampong Cham and elsewhere. It will also boost the efforts of the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) to distribute water filters and soap to families living in the crowded evacuation centres.
The grant complements Government-led efforts that have focused on distributing food and relief supplies, as well as on early plans to rehabilitate water-logged infrastructure and re-establish flooded crops.
These recovery efforts are expected to take several months. However, it may take much longer for Heng and many other affected families to overcome their trauma.

If you are feeling ambitious, you can make them yourself...you can make a set of three for just a little more than you can buy one winger with electronics....
Mine will work around 120 yards, which is plenty for my purposes. If that fits your purposes, see the thread posted above. I put a bunch of diagrams on page 2 of that thread....I made a set for myself and also a set for a club member...no complaints from either of us so far. But again, if you are planning on running marks farther than about 120 yards, you may have to get the upgraded version of electronics (which they do sell).
Regardless of the route you take, happy training. If you decide to go DIY route, please dont hesitate to ask me questions.

China's beaten-down large-cap oil & gas companies are rallying this week but don't expect a big bounce, HSBC says, even if they report better than expected earnings this quarter. The reason: Most of the good news is priced in.
It's been a good week for energy companies. PetroChina (PTR) has gained 3.1% this week, but has dropped 11.6% this year. CNOOC (CEO), meanwhile, has gained 6.1% but has plummeted 15%. Sinopec (SNP) has gained 0.04% this week, but has fallen 5.2% this year.
So why the caution? HSBC's analysts write:
The China Oil&Gas space has been restrained by a relatively lacklustre 2012 earnings season and 2013 company-specific concerns, which include: CNOOC/Nexen's outlook post-consolidation, PetroChina's natural gas pricing reform delays, Sinopec's oil product pricing formulas and adjustments, COSL's limited capacity increases ahead, and Kunlun's natural pipeline volume, LNG volume, and LNG utilization rates.
All five China large cap names underperformed…with Sinopec best performer, CNOOC worst
Headline 1Q13e will be better y-o-y, but that is priced in; weaker 2Q13e is likely to dominate near term performance.
They do, however, see better things to come. "We think a re-weighting opportunity may emerge as expected bad news is discounted later in 2Q13e," HSBC's analysts write.
Petrochina has gained 2.4% today to $127.16, CNOOC has jumped 2.1% to $187.4 and Sinopec has ticked up o.4% to $108.99. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) has gained 2.1% to $37.23.

Closing Games, Opening Doors
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Closing is the hardest thing to do in any individual sport. Not only does a team have to take a lead and hold it, they have to make sure that all possible opposite momentum is eliminated. It's ending the game before the clock does. It's, to a degree, controlling the uncontrollable. Some teams do it well; some can't do it at all. Notre Dame showed on Saturday that they can close gam...

California entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch) run a lucrative business raising marijuana and share a one-of-a-kind love with beautiful O (Blake Lively) . Life in Laguna Beach is idyllic for them, until Elena (Salma Hayek), the merciless leader of the Mexican Baja Cartel, moves in and demands a piece of the action. However, Elena underestimates the trio's unbreakable bond, and with the help of a shady DEA agent (John Travolta), Ben, Chon and O go to war.

I just saw them for my first time yesterday in Target.
They had all the figures they were showing on the back of the cards.
Baroness looked sort of anorexic, but that could just be me. I think her glasses are removeable.
I really liked an unmasked figure of Stormshadow - both figures of him look quite nice. Do you ever see what Snakeyes looks like beneath his mask?
His figure was cool, too.
They only had mini-vehicles for Joe out. The older Joe line had larger toys like planes and such. But I'm sure more movie stuff is coming. It was interesting and compared with other Joe figures, I didn't thought this line looked good overall. But it's not the best Joe has ever done, by far. Older figures look more colorful and thicker and better designed.

Family: Aceraceae, Maple view all from this family
Description Introduced; invasive. A multistemmed shrub or small tree with smooth gray-brown bark, becoming rough and furrowed with age.
Height: 15-20' (4.5-6 m).
Leaves: 1 1/2-3" (4-7.5 cm) long; palmately lobed, with very long-pointed center lobe; leaf edges coarsely toothed; dark green, turning red in fall.
Flowers: tiny, yellow, in small clusters; sweet-smelling; in spring.
Fruit: 3/4-1" (2-2.5 cm) long, paired, parallel-winged keys; pink to red in summer; remain on tree into winter.
Habitat Disturbed habitats, prairies, woodlands.
Range Native of China, Manchuria, and Japan; escaped from cultivation in the northeastern United States, reported from Maine to Kentucky, Iowa, and North Dakota.
Discussion With its seeds carried by the wind and randomly deposited, this exotic maple has the potential to spread into native habitats. It is considered an invasive plant throughout New England and in parts of the Midwest, where it has infiltrated some native prairie and woodland habitats. North America has many native maples that are excellent plants for the garden, and far better for our native habitats than Amur Maple and other alien species.

Do you think those three cities in Ca are going to be the only ones that are bankrupt? If Obama gets 4 more years the entire country will fail.
Come on...you know that is not true...but I'm sure you will get to see that your prediction is not going to come true
Did anyone think we would see 3 cities for bust or Pa having to pay its all its state employees min wage? this is what Obama did and he has plenty more up his sleeve.
I will offer you just a little tidbit for your future. THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS "THEMSELFS" You might try the word "themselves" next time. I don't think that was a spelling error. Eighth grade vocabulary??
JPM and Chase merged in the 90s. 8000 banks have not failed. The point is that had TARP not have been made available....the financial system would have melted down and Tenn Bankshares would have melted with them no matter how strong they were. Lots of innocent folks got hurt and not because of the current president.
Just for informtion purposes, Bank of Halls depositors NEVER lost a dime during the depression and furthermore, it took over the only other bank in town and made their depositors whole also. How stupid could they be. I guess you could just ask you or the government.
Ok...when I get time I will pull the 2008 10K on Tenn Bankshares. One bank in Texas did not take TARP it was Prosperity Bank. I'm sure a capital test was done and they failed. Anyway TARP was cheap equity for any bank at a cost of 5%, so why would you not want it anyway?
So they paid it back...it did not hurt them based on their growth in market cap since then. Nobody else is boosting those numbers

It is not publicly traded then....Go to the FDIC's website and pull the latest call report. Look for percentages of Tier 1 equity you want it greater than 10% and look at how much they expensed for provisions and if they showed a good profit with good equity hang on to it. Send me a private message if you would like for me to look at it but from what you said I would hang onto it until some big bank buys it.
If only sanity had prevailed during the 2008 banking crisis!

Many have suggested the possibility of a food alergy. If you treat the symptoms conventionally and they return, I'd take Julie's good advice (Nice post Julie!). Remember, when you switch to a food with a novel protein and limited ingredients you must also stop feeding your dog treats as they could be a source of a food alergen.
I think ear problems are commonly blamed on a retrievers "drop-ears" and/or swimming when that may not be the problem. My first Lab had a propensity for gooey ears. When I took him off of Hill's Science Diet his ears cleared up and we had few problems the rest of his life. All dogs are different, just got to find out what's up with yours.
Good Luck!

Sorry down in Puerto Rico for work, not as much fun as you might think. He has no bedding, inside in his crate or outside in his wooden house, nothing in it. Thanks for the help. The problem went away in a couple days and I haven't been home but the girlfriend says he hasn't been bothering them. He's been getting the shits and puking both very infrequent but annoying. Vet said he had a small fever and had some sort of infection. Possible food related deal?? He gets no treats either. PPP only.
Daren Galloway
I have read an article that suggested that chronic ear problems are one of the first signs of a food allergy. I would suggest that you switch to a grain free food as grains are the most common Lab food allergy and see if that helps. You should also take every opportunity to dry your dogs ears after swimming. Your dog does not have to exhibit hair loss or itchy skin. I had a female lab that I fought to clear up her ear infection until she was 8 and then I found out that the grains were indeed the culprit. Another usual suspect is yeast. Brewers yeast is an ingredient in most prepared foods but some have gone to using yogurt for it's pro-biotic properties. You can even have some success by adding yogurt to your dogs die. If your dog has a yeast infection of the ears
The first thing you need to know is How to detect a dogs' ear yeast infection. The dog should display signs that are easily recognized like, shaking his head repeatedly and scratching his ear/ears excessively. You may also notice a foul kind of sour smell coming from his ears and if you look inside you may see a discharge that looks a little like slime. This indicates that this is probably a yeast infection and not something else.
Once you've ascertained that it is a yeast infection you need to begin treatment by gently cleaning your dogs ears. Clean the inside with a soft cloth or tissue. Gently clean out any pus or wax{ear wax in dogs will be brown or black in color}.Try to keep your dog calm to keep from injuring him or causing any more pain.
Next you will need to get about 1/16 of a cup of warm water and add an 1/16 of a cup of white vinegar to it. Then take your q-tips and soak them with the prepared solution. Carefully insert these into the ear and wipe the inside of the ear ,allowing the solution to drip down into the ear canal. Next massage the outside of the ear to maneuver the solution to all parts of the ear. Now you can wipe some of the excess solution off with a tissue or just let your dog shake the rest out. Do this twice to three times a day for a week or until your dog stops worrying his ears and the foul smell is gone.

How can we be sure the dog is not suffering from a chronic ear infection?
I had an 11 year old labrador, finally cured of a severe infection. Gosh it took a few vet visits, washouts and medications. Been good for about a month.
Field trial labradors, the wind beneath my wings,
sometimes poop under my boots.
The new miracle ear med is called zymox. Much better than the old routine of cleaning out the ears with cloth first, then squirt in the medicine. This stuff is enzyme based and requires you to NOT clean the ear first, because that changes the "environment in the ear and irritates the ear tissue". With Zymox, you just squirt it in twice a day and wipe off any excess. It works faster than the old way.
In our case, I feel the issue is both food allergy and frequent exposure to marsh water. Though I feed a high quality grain free food, I am guilty of allowing junk treats at the coffee shop, etc. The waitresses will put a treat right in their face while asking me if they can have a treat. What am I going to say at that point?
Tell them what I tell my vet (and/or the techs) when they ask if my dog can have a treat. I tell them "NO, my dogs don't eat JUNK!" With puppies I started taking a handfull of kibble with me to give to the vet and techs so they could have fun helping me socialize my pups without feeding them crap!
If you can train a dog you should be able to train a waitress!
Jeff Swackhamer
Another vote for a grain free food change. I had a lab that had the same issues. Changed his food to grain free and didn't have another problem.

Jazz ensemble to present music of Basie, Oct. 14
Posted October 10, 2006; 10:43 p.m.
The Princeton University Concert Jazz Ensemble,
directed by Anthony D.J. Branker, will kick off its 2006-07 concert
season with a program titled "Basie, Straight Ahead: The Music of the
Count Basie Orchestra" at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, in Richardson
Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
The concert will feature music written for the ensemble by Bennie Moten, Frank Foster, Benny Carter, Sammy Nestico, Lester Young and Count Basie. With roots in the Kansas City blues and territory band traditions, the Count Basie Orchestra helped to define the sound of the big band era and was one of the hardest swinging ensembles in the history of jazz. In addition, Basie's orchestra was home to countless improvising soloists who made lasting contributions to the sound and language of jazz.
Some of the works to be presented include "Shiny Stockings," "Moten Swing," "April in Paris," "Magic Flea," "Lester Leaps In," "The Queen Bee," "Goin' On" and "A Warm Breeze."
Tickets may be purchased online through University Ticketing or through the Richardson Auditorium box office, (609) 258-5000.
