For this bacon and goat cheese tart, the edges of the tart crust are folded around sweet caramelized onions, smoky bacon, and rich goat cheese.
The cornmeal in the crust adds a nutty crunch and complements the smoky, salty bacon and fresh goat cheese. The tart makes a perfect light lunch or supper, with a green salad.–Melissa Pasanen
Bacon and Goat Cheese Tart
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 as a main course
- For the crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup yellow or white cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 3 ounces cream cheese, cold and cut into 4 chunks
- 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water
- For the filling
- 8 slices (about 1/2 pound) thick-cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds (about 4 large) onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3/4 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
- Milk, for brushing the crust
- Make the crust
- 1. Cut the butter into small cubes and freeze for at least 15 minutes.
- 2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, blend the flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add the cream cheese and process for about 20 seconds, or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until no butter is larger than the size of a pea. Add the ice water and process for about 30 seconds, or until a pinch of the dough holds together. If it doesn't, add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
- 3. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Knead just until it holds together in one piece. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. (If you chill it much longer, give it time to warm up a little before rolling it out.)
- Make the filling
- 4. While the dough is chilling, cook the bacon in a saute pan or skillet until it is about halfway cooked. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel and set aside.
- 5. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Put the pan with the remaining bacon fat back over medium heat. Add the olive oil and then the sliced onions and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and caramelized, 35 to 45 minutes.
- 6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the second-lowest position. On a nonstick baking mat or piece of parchment paper, roll the chilled dough into a rough circle about 1/8 inch thick and 14 to 16 inches in diameter. (The edges do not have to be smooth and neat.) Lift the baking mat with the crust onto a cookie sheet.
- 7. Spread the caramelized onions over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Coarsely chop the bacon and sprinkle it evenly over the onions, followed by the thyme leaves, and finally the goat cheese. Fold the edges of the crust in over the filling, pleating the edges as necessary. Brush the crust with milk.
- 8. Bake the tart for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
- The onion and bacon base also works well with cooked diced beets, raw diced apple or blue cheese. Or substitute diced ham for the bacon and add lightly steamed or microwaved cubes of butternut squash, or pumpkin, and goat cheese. Skip the bacon for a vegetarian tart.

Romney Aide Andrea Saul Denied Climate Connection to Hurricane Katrina, Is Sandy Next?Read time: 3 mins
Brendan DeMelle | November 1, 2012
By Brendan DeMelle • Thursday, November 1, 2012 - 14:00
Over half a decade ago, Andrea Saul, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's press secretary, denied any link between Hurricane Katrina and climate change.
Working as a hired gun on behalf of ExxonMobil at the Washington, DC PR firm DCI Group, Saul was listed as the contact person on a press release that denied that global warming is intensifying extreme weather events:
"Coming off one of the most devastating hurricane seasons in recent memory, many are quick to blame the strength and frequency of these storms on global warming. Leading climate scientists, however, say there is no link between increased storm activity and a massive change in global climate."
The 2006 Saul/DCI press release quotes the Koch-funded Cato Institute's Patrick Michaels, who stated, "There are many more factors determining hurricane frequency and severity, some of which (such as westerly wind strength) should become LESS conducive to hurricanes as the planet warms."
Michaels is a notorious climate change denier who stated in August 2010 on CNN that 40 percent of his funding comes from the oil industry. As with Hurricane Katrina, Pat Michaels this week denied any connection between climate change and Hurricane Sandy.
Will Andrea Saul, speaking on behalf of team Romney/Ryan, be next to deny that global warming added the steroids that increased the devastation of Hurricane Sandy?

As Greek prepares to vote on its future, experts say hoteliers seem to be more concerned with the tourist turnout.
While flights to Greece remain at typical summertime levels, tour operators say the country's hotels are slashing prices. One-fifth of Greek hotels and tour operators have reduced their prices in recent weeks, according to Travelzoo.com, which found discounts as high as 50% off. One European travel site, Trivago, said online hotel prices at hotels in Athens are down more than 20% so far this month versus the same time last year. "Hotels are offering discounts that are highly unusual for this time of year," says Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO and founder of CardHub.com and frequent traveler to Greece.
Experts say the cuts are a response to few travelers visiting Greece, as fears of further instability and civil unrest there continue to grow. Tourism is set to drop by one-third during the peak season this summer, according to some estimates. European travel agency Thomas Cook and German tour operator TUI AG both reported a 30% drop in bookings, while the Greek Tourism Enterprises Association estimates they will fall by at least 15% this year. "Greeks are desperate for cash, and they know tourism is one of their economy's backbones," says Gregg Mauss, who runs Expeditions-Redefined, a New York-based luxury travel firm. (The tourism industry makes up around one-fifth of the Greek economy.)
The latest discounts are further helped by the strong dollar against the euro: hovering at $1.26 currently – a far better exchange rate than $1.43 this time last year. "It's a perfect time to travel to Greece given that exchange rate hasn't been this good for the last five summers," Papadimitriou says. What's more, he says a Greek exit from the euro could mean more ultra-cheap hotel and vacation home prices as the government would likely be forced to devalue the drachma to help pay off debts, making the dollar even stronger.
Also See:
To be sure, some say that the capital's best hotels will remain expensive. "There's nothing to say that a $400-a-night room at a five-star boutique hotel won't still be $400-a-night regardless of the currency exchange rate," Mauss says. And, for those who would rather spend their vacation seeing the Acropolis rather than sitting on a beach or island-hopping, Mauss says a return to civil unrest in Athens ahead could lead to museum closures or problems with public transportation.

Well first off, I have to say a big thanks to all of your lovely comments on the library built ins! I'm going to start calling it a library now I guess, since there's no dining happening in there. Library sounds so posh though. "Would you like a cup of tea…in my library?" Ha!
Anyhoo, I'll go into more detail about the accessories soon, but one of them gets it's own post. ;) Last week I got a chance to try out a new-to-me paint and was able to work a little redo on one of the items I used on the bookcases.
I've had this little drawer thingy for years – got it as a present probably eight years ago? I think? Anyway, it's from Pier 1 and I love that it's a bigger piece, but it's been a long time since it's been displayed:
I'm pretty sure it started out green and then got a redo years ago during my let's-paint-everything-black phase. I mean…everything. It was a little crazy. :)
Because it was a perfect fit for the shelves, it needed a redo. It was a great project for the CeCe Caldwell chalk and clay paint:
The lovely ladies from Bungalow 47 near Lansing Michigan drove down to central Indiana to show a few of us bloggers how to use the paint. You may have heard about chalk paint recently – it's booming! I told you about the Annie Sloan version here and the CeCe Caldwell paint is very similar…but has some differences.
One of the things I love about chalk paint is that you don't have to sand before you start painting. You'll want to clean the item well (just with regular cleaning supplies or wipes), but sanding is not necessary. Here's the thing though – to get a great, hard finish, you'll want to use a wax over the piece when you're done. That's what protects it. Otherwise I don't know if the paint would hold up to wear and tear without it.
I wanted to give this one some dimension, so I started with one of the brighter colors the ladies brought us to try out – this one was called Blue Montana Sky:
I love painting with chalk paint, especially the first coat, because it doesn't need to be perfect. This coat is just to peek through the second, so it took no time at all to get it on there. It goes on SO fast.
I did notice in comparison that the CeCe paint dries slightly slower than the Annie Sloan paint does – which I found to be a good thing. I could touch up parts without the paint dragging.
OK, so here's a cool thing about this paint – the CeCe Caldwell brand has clay in it – which makes it so you can see where the paint is drying. You can see in the pic above the dry and wet spots – I thought that was cool! Since I had to get home to get the Bub off the bus, I hurried my drying time along with a hair dryer – super fast!
Then it was time to add the second coat. For this one I used Pittsburgh Gray. After it dried I pulled out some of the blue behind it by giving it a quick sanding:
The drawer on the top had been sanded, the one below had not. You can see how a tinge of the blue is coming through – love it!
If you aren't doing two colors, you don't have to sand. And if you are just wanting a slightly distressed look, you'll just want to pick and choose your spots. I hate sanding with a passion, but this wasn't bad.
Sanding gives it a great, smooth as silk finish. Next up was the wax – this was the other difference I noticed from the Annie Sloan wax. The CeCe wax is non-petroleum based so it has ZERO odor (and that means it can be shipped!) and it was very, very light when spreading it on.
It was slightly easier to apply because it's so light, but as far as the result afterwards, the finish was similar as the Annie Sloan version. You just brush it on, then wipe it off and kind of "buff" with the rag as you do.
Many of you have asked about the wax I've used lately, and this is why I love it, at least with the chalk paint products:
You can see how it makes the paint color rich and deep and brings out the undertones. This also makes it easy to see where you've put it. :)
I've used wax on top of regular latex paint as well and love the result there too, it just doesn't change the color of the paint quite as much.
When it was dry (I waited till the next day), I put the hardware back on:
And the little redo was complete!:
At first I was worried the gray was going to be too dark, but I actually really love how it turned out. It's got a Restoration Hardware vibe that is perfect for the bookshelves:
What's funny is I didn't think I'd like the chalk paint products before I tried them, but I like these paints more and more each time I use them. They are perfect if you love a distressed finish, but you can see by my piece that it also works for more streamlined stuff too.
I love that with the wax, the finish is SO smooth, like something from the furniture store. It's crazy!
The downside to the chalk paints is the price – they are more expensive than regular latex paint. (The CC brand is slightly less than AS.) But what they say is true – I find they last MUCH longer than a regular quart of paint. It goes a really long way. (The wax goes an even longer way.) When you factor in the price/time of primer, it may come out as a wash, depending on what you are painting.
The older I get, the more I paint stuff, the more I realize the value of a good paint. This stuff is good and I'll keep using it for sure. I'm already eyeing some frames that need a makeover. :)
So there you go, my take on another paint product – and if you have any questions about CeCe Caldwell paint, the ladies (Jill and Chantelle) from Bungalow 47 will answer them in in the comments over the next couple of days! (You can also visit the CCC site here.) They will know better than I what works and what doesn't. Ask away!
**I was not compensated to write this post – I just like sharing my thoughts on new DIY products with you!

For the first time in several years, there is a contested race for every seat up for election on the District 13 Board of Education.
Two seats are up but just one incumbent is seeking re-election. The first spot is between Joseph DiSibio, who has served on the board for the past six years, and challenger Patrick Heaney. With Joan Gartner set to depart the board, Patty Farrell and Toni Pomerantz are competing to fill her seat.
In the first race, we endorse DiSibio. There's a lot to like about the work he has done in his first two terms. He has served on a board that has managed to get through some very difficult financial times without having to make any major cuts to programs or staff. His financial background will make him a continued asset on the board as the pressures of the tax cap and rising pension and health insurance costs only increase.
DiSibio can also be counted on to provide strong guidance when the teachers' contract is up next year, as he did in the last negotiation, when a deal was reached that included a one-year salary freeze to save the four Valley Steram districts money.
He is also serving on the high school board for the first time this year, and he quickly made his presence known. DiSibio brought up for discussion a controversial student parking policy, which prohibits students from taking their cars off campus during the day for lunch. Recognizing the impact this had on the surrounding neighborhoods because students have instead been parking on the side streets, especially around North High School, he sought to have this changed. Ultimately, one vote kept the policy intact, but DiSibio got the discussion going.
Heaney, running for school board for the first time, is very knowledgeable on the issues facing schools. We like the fact that he wants to see more citizens participate in the annual school budget and board vote. He would be a strong advocate for taxpayers and we hope to see his name on the ballot again.
The choice between Farrell and Pomerantz is more difficult. The two are good friends and colleagues on the District 13 Educational Foundation, a group that raises money to support the elementary schools.

As of March 2014, we six Blood siblings are still around, meaning in mortality. From oldest to youngest, we are Louise, Dwight, Elizabeth, Judy, Ann, and Steve. Like the Blind Men and the Elephant, we each have a different view and a different set of memories of growing up in Penrose, Cody, and Ralston. I (Dwight) was the first to leave, in January 1950. Louise essentially left at the same time, since she moved into Powell to continue school at the junior college there. I was 17 when I left home. My memories of Penrose consisted of nine years in the little brown house, three years in Ralston, and four years in the white house that was the Blood family home until our parents moved to Washington state. My sibling memories are most closely linked to Louise and Elizabeth, being closer in age. I can remember the exact days that Ann and Steve were born but, for the life of me, I have no idea how Judy showed up there in our bedroom with the other three of us in the little brown house.
Thus, my memories of Penrose are most closely linked to we three older siblings, since the other three were still young when I left home. Getting better acquainted with them during the past few years has been one of the delights of being a big brother. Since I left home in 1950, most of my memories of Penrose are limited, first, to the little brown house where I spent the first nine years of my life. This house today would hardly pass minimal housing standards but, to us, it was a paradise among the cottonwoods and the apple orchard. Louise started school in 1935 and I started school in 1936, riding the primitive school bus on an arduous long journey into Powell, 12 miles away as the crow flies, but many miles longer in collecting children along the route. I wore bib overalls and had a bowl-type haircut with my blond bangs hanging in my eyes.
In 1941, we moved to a small farm a mile west of Ralston on the Powell-Cody highway. We spent the war years there, again riding the school bus into Powell and enjoying the much shorter route and less time bouncing over the rough roads on the Penrose route. And then in 1944, after my Uncle Orvil died, Dad moved us back to Penrose to manage Grandpa Wasden's farm, for a brief time with Uncle Norman Sorensen.
After leaving home, I was able to come home only sporadically. During college at the University of Wyoming, I usually could not afford to come home for many of the holidays since I had to work to stay in school. After leaving Laramie, we lived in Bozeman Montana, Fort Collins Colorado three times, Ann Arbor Michigan twice, Washington, D. C., State College Pennsylvania, Cheyenne Wyoming, Laramie again and, finally, Provo-Orem Utah. Since our parents had moved to Olympia Washington, we rarely were able to have either the time or the resources to travel that far and, often, gaps of two or three years existed between times when we could visit our parents.
Thus, my memories of home and Penrose are restricted to a narrow early window of time and space. It is up to everyone else to fill in the gaps and tell the stories and relive their own memories. Judy is now writing her life story, Louise and Elizabeth have told their stories, and Judy is writing hers. That means that Ann and Steve remain to tell the missing stories from the times when none of the rest of us were around home and we can only fill in the gaps with our imaginations.
Besides our more formal life stories, we all have much to gain from sharing stories and reminiscences here on the blog. Since some of cannot remember who played last night's basketball game, it matters little whether we can remember exact stories and sequences. What matters is the spirit of the stories, the light we share from the memories, and the ties that bind us.
Ann is working on a great project with family pictures and brief family stories, and I need to finish my contribution to this project. I hope we can all take just a few minutes now and then to share some special memory or story here on the blog since such postings tend to wake us all up and keep us in touch with each other. And who knows how long we will be able to continue doing that?

Six Blood Siblings, Six Separate Sets of Memories

Good job of summing everything up - your last sentence will be ignored, however - don't you know we'll go on forever. I talk with people who have gaps in their sibling relationships (Yes, I do know what that word knows. My freshman psych class was asked how many siblings we had, and I didn't know what that meant, so I think I raised my hand at 3.) Even my own children have not cultivated the wonderful ties that we six have nurtured over the years. We don't all agree on everything (thank goodness - how dull), but we do agree on the wonderful close ties that we have. That blesses all of our lives! I do think that writing the stories has even gone farther to cement that wonderful friendship.

It must be said.
I for one, welcome our new bacterial overlords.
Genetics entrepreneur Craig Venter claims his team is on the verge of creating the first artificial lifeform. In an interview with The Guardian this weekend, Venter said his company, Synthetic Genomics, has completed an artificial chromosome that will carry all necessary genes for a viable bacterium. It's planned that the DNA …
Its great that they're concerned, and after all it is kinda what they're there for. But They should be pretty ashamed that the only good reason they have for being concerned is that it might have terrorist applications.
Terrorists of any kind are incredibly unlikely to be able to create their own super plagues using this method. They'd have more luck assembling, say, some smallpox virus... but even this requires significant amounts of expertise and equipment. It is about as likely as a terrorist nuclear weapons program.
The only people who can do this sort of thing are governments, and when they do it, it is *warfare* then, surely? Oh no, that sort of nation is a 'terrorist state'.
It is a pretty sorry state of affairs when people have to tick the terrorist box just to get noticed. Won't somebody, please, think of the terrorists?
"The resulting organism will only be part synthetic..."
So, a sort of bacterial cyborg then? A bit like a monocellular Arnold Schwartzenegger?
Still, being a single-celled organism and one of the lowest forms of life it's cut out for a future career in politics and should be a shoo-in for the White House in a few years time.
So "Venter is betting on artificial organisms delivering a bonanza for medicine, renewable energy, and anti-climate change efforts"? Break out the champagne! It's the end of history! *cue naff muzak* It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius...
So Venter wouldn't dream of making billions for him and his investors by selling this kind of tech to, say, Pentagon contractors? As if! He has a heart of gold! And there is no way that this could all go horribly wrong by manufactured organisms escaping into the wild and causing an ecological catastrophe. We all know how secure commercial and govt. biotech sites are after all *coughpurbrightcough*
And even if they did escape these bugs will have had their DNA coded so well that they couldn't possibly cause any problems. Right? I mean how hard can it be to code the DNA of an original organism so that it behaves in a predictable fashion in every situation? No more difficult than coding an OS like, say, Windoze - another triumph of monopoly capitalism - and we all know that that never goes wrong in the wild but only in the sad deluded imaginations of Linux lunatics...
Funny you should mention Second Life: my thoughts turn to what happened when self-replicating scripted objects appeared in the virtual world. The place was littered with a "grey goo" that took Linden Labs a significan effort to clear up.
The argument comes up that is frequently brought into the debate about the introduction of anything articficial, or not native... GM crops, the American grey squirrel and so on. If an artificial bacteria designed to eat dangerous waste products and produce useful energy plus harmless byproduct goes rogue, we could see a mass of grey goo taking over the entire planet.
However, the benefits may outway these drawbacks.
Where are these bioethics experts? I keep seeing their views cited, but I don't see the experts themselves. The closest I see are hoards of self-declared bioethics experts on blogs, lacking regulation or certification and of widely varying level of biological knowledge from the professional gene-tinkerer to the complete crackpot. Even the more credible experts rarely agree with each other over the most basic of issues.
The main one in the UK is Genewatch. They're part of a global coalition which laid its cards on the table last year. There's a story I wrote at the time (it's in the Related Stories section), and Genewatch's press release is here: http://www.genewatch.org/article.shtml?als[cid]=492860&als[itemid]=537746
Chris Williams
El Reg
Just to be clear; they haven't 'made' anything, all they've done is copy something that already existed (admittedly, the lab technique is difficult) and change it. If I photocopy the Mona Lisa and give her glasses and a moustache with a marker pen, have I 'made' a great masterpiece?
In order to be able to claim they made any kind of life, they'd have to meet the conditions that used to be imposed for making functionally-equivalent BIOS chips without getting sued i.e. build it from scratch *never having seen the original code*. I'd submit this is something we'll never see done in a lab.
Once more, the various ethicists are left standing dockside as the technology boat sails over the horizon. One might think that after so many years of playing 'catch up,' ethicists would start talking *seriously* about the ethics of various technologies *before* they become viable? But no - the scientists have stolen another march whilst the ethicists are busy still debating sealing wax.
such things are the purest evil, interfering with the very stuff of life itself, perverting God's handiwork. Genetic science is unadulterated wickedness! It will be used to create *perfect* humans, us natural borns will be relegated to the fringes and allowed to die out, if we're not killed first by killer-droids or the genetic police.
I've been following this a bit. This is a breakthrough, however, it isn't the genuine article everyone in the field is looking for. Venter has taken an existing bactrium, selected for it's extremely small geneome, and subtracted out genes, a few at a time. The idea is to take out every gene that isn't critical to survival in order to create the minimum set of genes necessary for life. He isn't creating anything new per se, just degenerating an already harmless bacteria. The end result will be a bacteria just barely clinging to life, with none of the extra genes that might possibly be used for defense against other organisms, or offense in infectious processes. If an actual weapon were created out of this project, then that would be a much larger, unexpected breakthrough.
The breakthrough of Venter's work is that we will be able to build a comprehensive model of this organism understanding every aspect of every gene and protein and its necessity for life. It will be an extremely valuable teaching tool. It will also be valuable for research in that we can add new genes to it and find out precisely how they function with confidence that there are no unknown mechanisms going on.
As for the terrorists? They'd be more productive throwing rocks at the White House (or Buckingham Palace?).
I can hardly wait till the seemingly harmless "bacteria" meets with a little unplanned Chaos and we have "Resident Evil" or "28 Days" for real.
When you tinker with this kind of stuff, you had damned well better be doing it in a biological hazard rated facility. Genetic Mutation is a fact of life and you cannot ever avoid it, especially when you are deliberately trying to make it happen.
It is one thing to use and breed existing bacteria for the properties they already have and quite another to artificially change them to suit your needs.
Can you say Andromeda Strain????
He may not be biotechnology's Capt. Cyborg but he is certainly untrustworthy and a remarkable egotist.
When his firm Celera was involved (indeed a very significant part of) the human genome sequencing project, it was stated that the DNA they were using came from a pool of 5 volunteers. Only a few years later did Craig admit that it was mostly his own.
"with none of the extra genes that might possibly be used for defense against other organisms, or offense in infectious processes"
Haven't followed this and know nothing about genetics, but doesn't that assume one already knows the purpose/effect of each gene (either alone or in combination)?
Hey, this icon kinda looks like a beardless Venter, come to think of it...
"we could see a mass of grey goo taking over the entire planet"
No, we probably could not, actually. At least as far as basic science/logic is involved. I don't remember who started this "grey goo" craze (when writing about nanotech, I think), but I'm pretty sure Bill Joy was repeating this drivel in an essay condemning genetic engineering. To the grey goo apologists, "one" word: first law of thermodynamics. How can something reproduce so much as to take up all the resources and *cover* everything (thickly enough to be grey, by the way), unless the resources are extremely abundant -- in which case, it's not on THIS planet, where organisms have to fight for everything with each other. Now, the "grey goo" notion is even more ridiculous when applied to some hypothetical, artificial nanotech device.
And as far as goos go, the entire planet is ALREADY covered in it. It's been around for some billions of years and it's called bacteria. Hardly menacing now, innit?
"Even the more credible experts rarely agree with each other over the most basic of issues"
Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be "ethics", would it? ;-)
We have suddenly lost contact with the UK. No news agencies are answering the phone, the Prime Minister is incommunicado and the Queen has not been answering any calls from diplomatic channels.
We are at a loss to explain what has happened. US spy satellites gather some sporadic activity, and some cities are burning, but it's as if there is no intelligence left.
NATO is discussing the possibility of sending in a low-altitude survey craft, but somehow the various parties have not reached an agreement yet.
OK, so we have a scooped out bacterium with only the minimal genes for survival, like a blank sheet? so pump in some other genes from somewhere else and you'll have something new, this is going to happen.
Some of the new things will be bad for us, there's good bugs and bad bugs, some we can tollerate and some we can't, this will also happen.
Labs have leaks, this has happened before, it will happen again.
There is no question that [we] will create something bad that will escape into the wild, this will happen over and over again.
When this happens we will either survive it or not, and this assumes that this is an accident and this technology is not funded or purchased by people with less than altruistic intentions.
Heard on NPR recently about a scientist trying to increase the lifespan of certain worms via genetic manipulation. The scary part was when they said they were making changes in the worm's genome, *at random*, and then looking for the effect. That they seem to have had some success in achieving their goal of longer living worms just made it all the scarier.

This year marks the 63rd anniversary of the Red Ryder Roundup Rodeo.
While there were rodeos in Pagosa Springs dating back to the beginning of the last century, the first Red Ryder Roundup® Rodeo was held in 1949.
In 1948, a group of local ranchers organized an effort to start a regular named rodeo series for this town. The initial group of volunteers included Glen Edmonds, Fred Harman, Daily Hott, Leon Montroy, Terry Robinson and Babe Shahan, to name a few. They collaborated with the owner of the rights to the Red Ryder registered trademark to brand this rodeo with the cartoon character that is so famous in this region.
In 1949, the first rodeo was held at the site of the current Ross Aragon Community Center. Photographs show how automobiles were placed in a large circular formation to create the boundary of the rodeo arena. Spectators stood behind the cars.
Later that year, the committee advertised and sold stock in the rodeo organization, named Pagosa Springs Enterprises, and raised $15,000. With these proceeds, approximately 40 acres of land was purchased for the express use of hosting the annual rodeo.
That initial site continues as the current facility on the corner of U.S. 84 and Mill Creek Road.
Construction of a rodeo arena with wood boards and woven wire was accomplished just prior to the 1950 Red Ryder Roundup Rodeo. Over time, the structures that exist on the rodeo grounds today were constructed as additional stock was sold for the purpose of raising money and creating a supporting membership.
For over 60 years, this organization has been run by local dedicated volunteers, funded with individual and business donations from the local community, and continues to be an independent, self-sustaining and successful entity.
In the mid-1990s, the organization obtained its nonprofit status and renamed the organization the Western Heritage Event Center, whose mission is to provide an annual three-day Red Ryder Roundup Rodeo, as well as a year-round venue for education and training for youth, and equestrian events for Archuleta County. The Western Heritage Board is dedicated to preserving the history and traditions of the American West.
Join the fun as cowboys and cowgirls from various states compete for prizes and prize money in this sanctioned rodeo series.
The rodeos are Wednesday, July 4, at 2 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Western Heritage Event Center arena and grounds.
Tickets are available at Goodman's Department Store and at the gate prior to the event. The cost is $10 per adult and $6 for children 12 and under. A limited number of box seats are available and can be purchased by calling 264-5000. A variety of concessions are available throughout the events.
This traditional American rodeo is a must-see event.
More rodeo information is available by calling 264-2730.

But then I come back to Jordan and Lebanon, and to be honest I can't see that genuine demand for change. Maybe there just isn't enough misery and helplessness here that can mobilize a revolution, and I'm not saying it as a bad thing... not really. I just think there is only one thing that would make people descend into the streets and risk their lives and safety to demand change, as they did in Tunisia and Egypt. The reason is that the other option is worse. My other option is to stay at home and watch The Daily Show while I enjoy a very healthy dinner, and maybe a little bit of wine. It's obviously not worse at all. Actually, it would probably be worse for me if some form of change occurs, and I end up living under fundamental Islamic rule, as I feel is the other option here. I'm sure that's true for many people who live in Jordan and Lebanon, supposed members of the not-so-poor middle class. This isn't to say that there aren't problems here that warrant a massive change. It's just that I don't see the situation as severe and common enough to make us do much more than press Like on Facebook, Retweet on Twitter, and Publish Post on Blogger, oh and maybe attend a couple of half-hearted, goalless demonstrations.
But then again maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just us being lazy. And we're just waiting for others to take the risk and make the change happen. Man... I hope we're not.

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to make their leaky secondary a priority in free agency.
Two days after the team struck a deal with former New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins, the Eagles on Thursday announced that they have agreed to a contract with cornerback Nolan Carroll. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports it's a two-year deal worth $3.65 million.
Carroll generated surprising heat on the open market after churning out a relatively unremarkable 2013 season with the Miami Dolphins that saw him finish as the No. 52 cornerback among 110 qualifying players at his position, per Pro Football Focus.
A mid-level run-stopper, the fifth-year corner graded out negatively in pass coverage, but managed to haul in three interceptions during his 12 starts in South Beach. The team likes his press-coverage experience, special teams production and the depth he'll bring to a cornerback room that includes Cary Williams, Bradley Fletcher and young Brandon Boykin.
The Eagles were presumed to be in the market for top safety targets Jairus Byrd and T.J. Ward, but wound up with a versatile veteran in Jenkins. Carroll vibes more as a depth signing, so look for Philly to attack the draft in a continued effort to remake a secondary that allowed more passing yards (4,636) than any team in football.
We have zero concerns about the offense, though, after Philly re-signed its collection of wideouts and just landed Darren Sproles for cheap.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" recaps the wild start of free agency.

Jurgen Klinsmann Podcast Quote Sheet
Jurgen Klinsmann and the coaching staff are busily preparing for the upcoming qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico, ussoccer.com sat down with the U.S. head coach to get his thoughts on the growing relationship on the field with Jermaine Jones and Michael Bradley. He also talks about the importance of the Under-20 Men's National Team qualifying for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, updates the status of players heading into the March qualifiers, and discusses the start of the MLS season and what it means for the National Team. [LISTEN TO FULL PODCAST HERE]
Here are some of the highlights:
On the shorter offseason in MLS:
"We hope the players respond positively to it, that they feel, 'OK, I can adjust easier or faster to a heavy rhythm of games.' Once the season starts, they are traveling all over the place, playing games every three, four, five days. Also, mentally, you need to adjust so that hopefully, with the shorter offseason, it is easier for them to get back into that rhythm and their bodies adjust to it. It's all about how fast you can recover from games, about how quickly they can regenerate and hopefully it makes them even stronger."
On the significance of the U-20 MNT qualifying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey:
"We're all excited about the qualification for the Under-20 World Cup and it's well deserved. I think we have a couple of individual talents coming through the ranks there, altogether it was very positive. I'm very happy for Tab Ramos who is doing a tremendous job.
On what the U-20 World Cup represents for YNT players:
"The Under-20 World Cup is a huge growing experience for these players. Playing there against all the other nations around the globe helps them, helps them develop, helps them to see if they're still lacking some things and what's the gap to other nations that may be better than we are. So it's a big learning curve they're going to take in Turkey."
On what he looks for in U-20 players:
"Obviously we look at the individual talent, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they connect with each other. There are a lot of elements we talk about afterward with Tab Ramos because they're the future a couple years down the road. We want to see them in the Men's National Team and we want to see them play professional soccer here in MLS or overseas, so therefore we're really pleased that they made the big step to Turkey (and the FIFA U-20 World Cup)."
On Jermaine Jones performing well in the UEFA Champions League and how that impacts the National Team:
"When they have the opportunity to play in Champions League, which is the crème de la crème, the top level you can play at in a club system, you want them to take that experience, and take that attitude, and take that desire and bring it back into the National Team environment. Jermaine is a guy that never stops. He's always ready for the next step and the next challenge. He never shies away. His inner drive is unbelievable and this is what you need when they come into our environment. They have to adjust in different ways. CONCACAF is a very different tournament for him or any European-based player. They have to switch mindsets a little bit but you need their leadership, you need their experience and then hopefully they influence the atmosphere within your team in a way that everybody is full of confidence to face Costa Rica and Mexico.
On Michael Bradley's good form and the partnership between him and Jones:
"It's very crucial, the partnership between Michael Bradley and Jermaine Jones. It's really important that they over time develop a real fine-tuned understanding that when one goes forward and is attacking, the other has to secure him and stay back. Here and there they both end up in the opponent's penalty area and you leave kind of a hole behind. Those are things we would love to work on in the near future, when we play both next to each other and maybe we play without a number six that secures them. It only works if one stays and the other goes, and this is very important. Hopefully now we have the time and more training sessions before a game to work on that, and I think in time if we develop that fine-tuned understanding between these two guys then we have a big plus."
On the potential availability of Landon Donovan when he returns to playing:
"We always have the approach in our environment that the door is always open. I've always said I have all the respect for what Landon did in his career … but we also told him that the team is developing, the team is moving on. He's been barely a part of it since I took over almost two years ago, and therefore we'll see where he's at when he comes back into the game: what his rhythm is and what his shape is. How we look at him [and] how we evaluate him is different than how the Galaxy evaluate him because his role with us is a different one. So we'll see where he's at and whether he comes back or not."

NATIONWIDE -- This year's Worldwide Day of Play (WWDOP) on Sept. 30, focused on celebrating the health successes of kids who have taken the Let's Just Play Go Healthy Challenge, a partnership between Nickelodeon and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Hundreds of thousands of children from nine countries celebrated the day by participating in community events that encouraged kids to "Go Healthy." Families across the nation gathered in parks, playgrounds, community centers and schools to celebrate their pledge to be healthy.
To encourage activity, cable television station Nickelodeon stopped broadcasting for three hours on the afternoon of WWDOP to get the message out to kids and families to get up, get out and go play. That evening, the channel aired, "Let's Just Play Go Healthy Challenge Celebration," the finale of a six month on-air mini-series following four real life children on their quests to make healthy changes in their lives, their families' habits and their communities.

I bet by now you've heard of SQLRally, be it from the blogosphere, Twitter, the PASS Connector bi-weekly emails, word of mouth at SQLSaturday or a user group meeting, or one of the other umpteen places that it's been mentioned. Until now our marketing efforts have been focused around building the brand by getting the word out, figuring that if we keep repeating it people will get the message and sign up to attend.
While chatting with attendees during last week's MagicPASS UG meeting in Orlando Andy Warren (Blog | Twitter) and I had an epiphany: we've done a lot to let everyone know what SQLRally is and that they should go but we haven't done a good job of actually helping them get there. What we discovered is that most people have heard about SQLRally and want to go but for a variety of reasons they aren't…or at least aren't yet - I'm hoping we can find a way to remove whatever barriers are keeping them from signing up.
So here's my question for you:
What can I do to help you go to SQLRally this May?
I'm looking for your honest feedback here. Tell me what's standing in your way and, if there's something I can reasonably do to help, I will.
Tag, you're it!

Clean energy policies have had a positive economic impact on the North Carolina economy, finds a new report released by RTI International and La Capra Associates Inc.
The study, commissioned by the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA) and based on independent and objective analysis, found that by 2026, clean energy will lead to $173 million in cost savings for electricity customers in the state.
The key drivers of clean energy development in North Carolina include the renewable energy and energy efficiency portfolio standard, the renewable energy investment tax credit and the utility savings initiative.
According to the study, tax credits taken by renewable energy projects developed between 2007 and 2012 generated $1.87 in state or local revenue for every $1.00 of incentive. Since 2007, the state's clean energy policies have generated $113 million in net revenue for the state.
Between 2007 and 2012, clean energy investment in North Carolina increased 13-fold and generated or saved an estimated 8.2 TWh of energy through a combination of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, the study found. During the same time frame, the total economic benefit of clean energy development in North Carolina was $1.7 billion and generated $2.56 billion in associated spending in the state economy, according to the report.
Moreover, while the broader North Carolina economy lost more than 100,000 jobs between 2007 and 2012, the state gained 21,162 clean energy jobs during the same period, the study also found.
According to the 2012 NC Clean Energy Industries Census released last October, North Carolina is home to over 1,100 companies serving the clean energy industries, which include businesses related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, high-performance building, the smart grid, energy storage and electric vehicles.
The full report is available here.

ERPSpecialist needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 193 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
Coin Consulting Group
We are a small consulting group specializing in ERP software sales and integrations and strive to inject some fun and humor into a normally stressful process. Our software and services solve issues businesses face due to individual employees working separate from each other and not collaborating or communicating. ERP has everyone working together and from the same database in real time. All areas of the company are connected and collaborating. We approach this in a fun, energetic and lighthearted way to break down the stresses most people have relating to change.
We are lateral thinkers working each business through its issues and finding solutions that drive them forward and work hard to ensure the process is fun along the way.
Our typical client has found us on the web and has been in business for a few years. They typically have tried some small "band-aid" improvements and now realize they need a better solution than just an accounting package. Often they go to the web and find they are being told to buy a good ERP Package. Hopefully they then contact us and we provide a demo (in house or online) and go from there to sale and implementation.
-Typically around 10 employees (but not limited to this)
- Financially stable and prepared to invest in their company
- Can be manufacturing or warehouse or re-seller, retail or restaurant/café. We can cater to any industry.
- must have internal network or be prepared to have one established.
- Usually technically savvy and well established
We are looking to create a funky, cool, image but still come across as highly professional. We DO NOT want to be recognized as financial advisors.
We work with multi Million $ operations so must not appear as amateurs.
Looking to create an image of modern thinkers with a fresh approach to solving business problems. Colours will be in the greens and blues but we are also open to colour options as well.
The image I have attached was done by my 9 year old daughter with an image (the puzzle) from an existing Logo and is just a simple font found in MSWord (Green Pilloww) .. but is the type of look and feel we are after. We have been told it is "too crude" and "not well put together" so we are looking for some fresh ideas on this one.
The Logo Should spark curiosity and when the slogan is read it will tie us to the word COIN. This should create a lasting memory in the prospects mind.
No Clipart or stock images
print format - .ai (CMYK) or equivalent
Web - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB) or equivalent
The full name Coin Consulting Group does not need to be in the Logo (but we are open to ideas) .. we have pictured the word COIN on its own and we are looking for a good slogan to tie it all together on , near or around the word Coin.
To be used on Website, biz cards and brochures. No shop front at this stage but strong web presence.

– WWE's WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view did end up being the single most purchased pro wrestling pay-per-view event in history, based on new data that are likely the final numbers for the event.
These updated numbers include late recorded buys and have WrestleMania 28 doing 1,253,000 buys – 733,000 domestic and 520,000 internationally. The international number would beat the all-time record by a significant amount. There have been several events over the years that have topped the domestic number.
The 1,253,000 buys for WrestleMania 28 beats out the 1,250,000 buys for WrestleMania 23 in 2007 with Donald Trump. Technically, when it's all said and done WWE is able to round up to 1.3 million buys and claim the biggest pay-per-view of all-time.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
You might also like Young Atheist Women, Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists and Atheist Singles.
As of resident of York, PA you might also like Eco-Logical, where we discuss fracking as well as the extreme weather affecting our country.
Welcome, Dora. Yes, being a non-theist among Christians and Catholics can be very lonely. You can find like-minded friends here. Join some groups of interest to you.
Welcome aboard! =) Hope you're doing great today...
Yeah, I know what you mean. If you're not in a city of at least a couple hundred thousand, it's hard to get a local group together with enough regular people to have a decent social group. Once you get a bunch of atheists in one place, you have to find enough people in that group who enjoy doing the same sort of things as you.
Have you checked meetup.com for any local activity in your area? The groups in lots of smaller cities make use of that.

While the Apple rumor mill churns endlessly with chatter about iOS 6 and the iPad 3 retina display, Aatma Studio Animation created a concept video of an outrageously advanced iPad 3 design. Located within San Francisco, the company specializes in 3D animation and digital content for television, movies and advertising agencies. Published just three days ago, the iPad 3 concept video has already garnered approximately 1.7 million views on YouTube. While obviously a fake product created almost entirely out of CGI effects, the finished concept video is amazing to watch in motion.
Within the concept video, Aatma Studio shows a man opening up the display of the iPad 3 to reveal an edge-to-edge retina display. Rather than leaving an edge to grasp on the outside of the iPad 3, the mock-up in the video uses the full front face of the device to display the apps, photos, videos and games. The concept video also shows off a idea that allows users to physically connect two iPad 3 screens using internal magnets and digitally connect the devices using near-field communication (NFC) technology. This creates a dual-screen effect that potentially doubles the screen size for watching widescreen movies or simply creating a larger screen for multiplayer gaming.
Easily the most advanced concept displayed within the video, the final addition shows two people using the connected iPad 3 tablets to play a quick game of professional football. Using hologram controls projected on a flat surface to the left and the right of the tablets, the concept would allows two players to tap and move virtual buttons on the table in order to control the players on the screen like a standard game controller. When the camera pans around to the angle of the player, the iPad mock-up shows a 3D projection of the football player sprinting down the field for a touchdown.
Aatma Studio is also responsible for creating another extremely popular Apple related video last year. Racking up over 46 million views on YouTube in the past six months, the iPhone 5 concept video shows off another CGI mock-up of Apple hardware. The almost paper-thin iPhone 5 concept includes a laser keyboard projected on a flat surface for typing texts and email. In addition, the user can change the size of the keyboard by pinching the corners as well as raise and lower the brightness level of the virtual keys. Another feature on the concept iPhone includes the ability to create a holographic display of the video or photos currently being displayed on the iPhone 5 screen.
While these concepts are fun to watch, some of the features could potentially be integrated into handheld devices over the next five to ten years. In regards to features that are likely headed to Apple devices during 2012, Ars Technica confirmed that iPads using iOS 6 are being used by Apple employees on the Cupertino campus according to internal server logs. While it's unlikely that Apple will release a new version of iOS during the Apple conference next week or with the release of the next iPad, it is likely that Apple will preview upcoming features in the next major release of the mobile operating system.
Ars Technica also looked into Google Analytics to discover that the site had over 350 visits from devices using 2048 by 1536 resolution. This is the resolution rumored to be used for the retina display within the iPad 3, but it's also the native resolution for a 21.3″ NEC LCD monitor that's used by professionals in the medical field. While the NEC monitor sports a $5,000 price tag on Newegg, the iPad 3 is rumored to be priced between $579 to $899 according to MacRumors.

Range Description
This species is endemic to the Wet Tropics Bioregion in north Queensland, from Paluma to Cooktown (Hero and Fickling 1994; Williams and Hero 1998, 2001) at altitudes between 180 and 1,300m asl (McDonald 1992). It includes three deeply divergent mitochondrial DNA lineages, distributed from Paluma to Tully River, Tully River to Lamb Range, and Mount Lewis to Big Tableland (Schneider, Cunningham and Moritz 1998).
Habitat and Ecology
Litoria nannotis is a habitat specialist, restricted to rocky stream habitats in rainforest or wet sclerophyll forest where there is fast-flowing water, waterfalls and cascades (Liem 1974b; McDonald 1992). It is a stream dwelling and breeding species (Hodgkison and Hero 2001), but, unlike most stream-breeding frog species that live in the adjacent forest and use the stream habitat for breeding, the stream is the primary habitat for both male and females throughout the year (Hodgkison and Hero 2001, 2002). On several occasions the adults and juveniles were noted to form small aggregations (4-6 individuals) amongst large boulders behind waterfalls (Liem 1974b; J-M. Hero pers. obs.). Gravid females and males with nuptial pads are encountered all year round (Martin and McDonald 1995). Unpigmented eggs numbering 136-216 (1.98-3.4mm in diameter) are laid in gelatinous egg masses under rocks in water (Liem 1974b; Hero and Fickling 1996). Liem (1974b) described the larva and noted that it is one of the few species of frog known to exhibit larval adaptations to torrent environments of Australia, such as a streamlined body shape, large suctorial mouthparts and a muscular tail. Richards (1992) also provided information on the larvae of the L. nannotis group.
This species was first noted to have declined in 1990 (Richards, McDonald and Alford 1993), since it had apparently disappeared from most upland sites south of the Daintree River. The species occurred at all lowland sites, and at upland sites north of the Daintree River during summer surveys in 1991–1992. In 1994 it was sighted at several locations above 600 m asl on Mount Father Clancy. Lowland populations surveyed in Tully Gorge appeared to be relatively stable between 1995 and 1998 (J.-M. Hero pers. comm.). At the southern end of its range it was last observed in Mount Spec State Forest in 1991 (Richards, McDonald and Alford 1993); however, adults occurred at a lower elevation site in a different creek system (Crystal Creek Stone Bridge, 300m asl) from January 1994 to September 1995 (J.-M. Hero pers. comm.). This species is currently known to have stable populations at lowland sites (Hero et al. 1998, McDonald and Alford 1999).
Population Trend
Major Threats
The reason(s) for the decline are unknown. Richards, McDonald and Alford (1993) reject drought, floods, habitat destruction or pollution by pesticides, inorganic ions or heavy metals. The habitat of the species in the Wet Tropics has been protected since 1988, and habitat destruction is no longer a major threat (McDonald and Alford 1999). Research is examining the possibility that disease, such as a viral infection or chytrid fungus, may have contributed to the decline of this species (Berger, Speare and Hyattt 1999). Feral pigs are a potential cause of riparian habitat damage and adult frog mortality (Richards, McDonald and Alford 1993). The activity of feral pigs has been recorded to have increased over the period 1989-1992 in an area previously inhabited by L. nannotis (Richards, McDonald and Alford 1993). However, there has been very little research into the impact of feral pigs on native frog populations (Richards, McDonald and Alford 1993).
Conservation Actions
There is a need for continued and strengthened protection of habitat in the Wet Tropics, including an improved management plan that involves dealing with the threat posed by feral pigs. Further research into the reasons for the decline of this species in pristine habitat is necessary.
Red List Status
Endangered (EN)
Listed as Endangered because of a drastic population decline estimated to be more than 50% over the last three generations, possibly due to chytridiomycosis.
