WOODINVILLE, Wash. -- The discovery of a potentially deadly virus at the Gold Creek Equestrian Center in Woodinville has caused fear and concern throughout the horse community across Western Washington and beyond.
Local arenas, horse shows and other events are being closed or canceled.
"We are going to hold off on having any horse shows out here for about two to three weeks," said Hal Gausman, manager of the Evergreen State Fairgrounds.
Gausman said they also plan to clean and sanitize the more 300 horse stalls on fairground property just to play it safe.
The Washington State Veterinarian's Office issued a quarantine for the equestrian center mid-December, after horses who board on the property tested positive for the EHV-1 strain of equine herpes.
The state said seven horse at the center have died from the virus.
Stables all over Western Washington are on voluntary quarantine in an effort to keep their horses from coming into contact with the highly contagious strain.
Hannah Mueller, a veterinarian at Cedarbrook Veterinary Care in Snohomish, said it's the right approach.
"It's the right thing to cancel events and to not takes horses in and out of farms and for everyone to just stay put for the next few weeks until the situation is under control, and it's safe," she said.
Inside the barn at the equestrian center, a massive effort has been underway for days to disinfect the barn to stop the spread of the virus.
"Seeing horses sick and suffering has been very difficult," said Mike Adams, a co-owner of Gold Creek. "This has been a very hard time."
Adams said only two horses remain sick with equine herpes at the center, adding their conditions are improving.
The virus, which cannot be transmitted to humans, is highly contagious among horses and leaves the animals in neurological distress.
The state said, at this point, the outbreak is contained to the Gold Creek Equestrian Center.
"We are not in any hurry to end the quarantine because we want to protect not only all of our horses here at Gold Creek, but all the horses in the community," said Adams.
The outbreak of the disease EHV-1 can happen anywhere at any time.
The Washington State Veterinarian's Office has praised the facility for the steps it has taken to keep the virus from spreading, and said they have done a phenomenal job with sanitation and caring for the ill horses.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the families who board at the facility cover veterinary costs.

Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana, Nicaragua
While the early days of the event provided opportunity for old friends to connect, waves to be shared and jitters to be worked out, on Day 3, the business end of the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship was at hand. Repechage heats were on the schedule, which meant eliminations were imminent.
The ocean continued to produce high-quality waves with offshore winds throughout the day. Although the swell size decreased slightly, Surfline, the Official Forecaster for the event, is anticipating a substantial swell to hit Nicaragua in the coming days, providing overhead waves for the finals.
Just one surfer was eliminated yesterday on Day 2, but 17 more would be joining him today as spectators for the duration of the event at Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana.
"Being in the Repechage rounds is not easy, because it's a life or death situation – you don't have any more chances. If you lose you go home, that's it," explained Magoo de la Rosa (PER), a former ISA Gold Medalist who found himself surfing for his survival on Tuesday afternoon. He advanced in his Kahunas (over-45) Repechage heat.
In Round 2 of the Main Event in the Men's Grand Masters (over-40), Sebastian Galindo (ARG) was up against a formidable draw: Hans Hagen (USA), German Aguirre (PER) and four-time ISA Gold Medalist Juan Ashton (PUR). Galindo's regular early morning and late afternoon practice sessions appeared to pay off as he advanced in first place with a two-wave score of 14.5
"I worked really hard for this competition. I've been waking up early to surf every morning before the contest, and that gave me some help to pick the waves with the open faces; those waves were really the key to getting first place," Gallindo said. "The ISA made the effort of bringing us together and the Argentinean team was very happy to be here. It's always a pleasure to compete in these events, because in the water you want to win, but out of the water you feel an incomparable vibe."
The Americans are the defending Team Gold Medalists and have made a strong showing in the early heats, letting the surfing world know that they plan to fight to retain their title.
"We got Gold last year and we won't accept anything less – we are taking Gold again," said a confident Dean Randazzo, after a dominating performance in his Grand Masters heat, winning with a score of 14.67. "I love the camaraderie of the ISA events. You get to see a lot of old friends, guys that I competed against on the ASP World Tour, like Sunny Garcia and Shea Lopez. A lot of big names down here. And it's great getting to meet the guys from different countries that you wouldn't otherwise ever meet."
Though the majority of the competitors in the event still compete on a regular basis, the ISA World Masters is a chance to compete on a bigger stage with vastly stronger competition. It's also an opportunity to rekindle old rivalries and old friendships.
Kaipo Jaquias recalls countless heat battles with the likes of Brazil's Jojo de Olivenca and Armando Daltro and even his own teammate, Sunny Garcia. For a guy who stepped away from competitive surfing almost two decades ago, he's proving that he never lost his talent. On Day 3 he won his fourth consecutive heat of the event, with a commanding performance in the Grand Masters, with a winning score of 15.44, the highest of the day.
"For all of [the Hawaiians] it's our first time coming [to Nicaragua], so we all have the same energy and are trying to make it feel like home," Jaquias said. "In Hawaii, everyone is pretty close, especially in times like this. All of the teams are showing the spirit of their country, and I think that's what good about this event. You love the sport, but you're also representing home, which really matters."
Action resumes tomorrow, July 18, with several Repechage rounds. In total, 58 more competitors will be eliminated.
The event webcast will be live beginning at 7:40am local time (6:40am PST; 9:40am EST; 2:40pm in Paris; and 11:40pm in Sydney) with The Morning Show at www.isawmsc.com/live.

Hillsboro is a fast-growing suburb located just 20 minutes west of downtown Portland. In the mid-1800s early pioneers recognized the area's agricultural richness and established thriving farming and timber industries. With the arrival of the railroad, Hillsboro became the breadbasket of Portland, supplying the city with dairy, fruits, vegetables and wood products. Surrounding communities include Forest Grove, Cornelius and Beaverton.
Hillsboro is the government seat of Washington County and a thriving center of the agriculture industry. Aptly named the heart of the Silicon Forest, Hillsboro is home to many technologically based companies including Intel. Despite rapid growth, small town charm and tradition remains an integral part of the community. You'll find residents actively participating in community events, high school sports teams and outdoor activities.
The homes in the area reflect the changing nature of the community. Downtown Hillsboro exhibits a variety of modest and classic historic homes, while being only a short walk away from shopping areas and government offices. Newer residential communities accord any need and style with a mix of upscale row houses, brownstones, live/work units and cottages.
Beautiful scenery and agricultural richness provide the perfect combination for lush vineyards. Wineries are a popular draw for locals and visitors. The Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace is a weekly event downtown where local growers, crafters, artists and eateries exhibit and sell their wares. The summer months are filled with entertaining events. Hillsboro's annual Fourth of July Parade is the second-largest Independence Day parade in Oregon and Oregon's largest air show, the Oregon International Air Show, is held at the Hillsboro airport.
Hillsboro is a golfer's paradise, with nine golf courses. Praised as one of the nation's premier courses, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club was the backdrop of Tiger Woods' third consecutive U.S. Amateur Championship. Tucked in the foothills of the Tualatin Mountains and surrounded by dense fir, maple and oak trees, the course's challenging layout demands strategy and accuracy. Hillsboro also hosts several sport complexes and recreational parks including Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve, a resource for education and home to numerous species of birds.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

Sometimes a team needs a shock to its system.
The last time Lipscomb and Belmont played the Bisons were shocked, losing 88-52 in the first edition of the "Battle of the Boulevard" this season. Tuesday night at 7 round two will be held at Allen Arena. A standing room crowd is expected.
The game will also be televised live regionally on CSS.
The Bisons enter the game with an 11-8 record overall, 6-4 in the A-Sun. Belmont is 18-3 overall, and undefeated in the A-Sun with a 10-0 mark as the second half of the conference season begins.
"We have made strides the last 10 days," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "It is always a long season. Different things make you refocus whether it is how you are playing on the floor offensively and defensively to how you are doing things off the floor.
"It has been a blessing to us. It has really helped all our guys in every aspect of life. It has helped us define our roles even sharper."
It is the third game in five days for both teams. The Bisons beat USC Upstate 76-55 Sunday. Belmont defeated ETSU 72-62 Sunday.
"No one has an advantage as far as that is concerned," Sanderson said of the schedule. "If you want to talk about an advantage then you talk about Belmont playing 10 guys on a regular basis in three games on five nights.
"We were able to play some more of our guys for extended minutes Sunday afternoon at USC Upstate. We needed that. We benefited from it. We need that for the long haul."
Sanderson has stressed the need for his reserves to pick up the level of play. He thought that the win at USC Upstate was a confidence builder for them.
"I can't give them confidence until they give it to me," Sanderson said. "When they give me some confidence I will give it back to them.
"Whether it is two minutes, five minutes or 10 minutes I always tell them it is about what they do in the minutes that they get. "
The Bisons continue to be led by center Adnan Hodzic with 18.9 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per game. He scored only seven points at Belmont, stopping a 72-game double figures points streak.
"We will have to adjust for Adnan," Sanderson said. "In years past Adnan has gotten 20 points every night against them. They did a great job on him.
"It is like a chess match. We will make adjustments. And as successful as Belmont was against us they will make adjustments."
Defensively, the Bisons made some strides against USC Upstate. In the first half USC Upstate made only four-of-24 field goals, 14.8 percent. They held USC Upstate to 32.8 percent from the field for the game.
"It is so important for our players to understand the scouting report and do what we are asking them to do to the best of their abilities," Sanderson said. "When you are playing three games in five days it is more about listening than what you do on the floor.
"It is about paying attention to details and understanding how you have to play as a collective group. Those things are vital."
Lipscomb guard Josh Slater is second in the conference overall in scoring with 16.9 points per game.
The Bisons, second in the conference in scoring, are averaging 76.6 points per game and giving up 75.2. Belmont leads with 82 points per game. Defensively, they are allowing 63.4 points.
The next game for the Bisons is Friday at 7 against Stetson at Allen Arena.

While it was a total ass-whipping, it was not complete domination as we might have expected, offensive position to position. The run game was hugely dominant, but that was it. McCoy had 100 yards. But that was it. No other starters really stood out.
Wilson did not have a particularly stellar day. Threw for under a buck fifty and had a pick to go with his lone touchdown pass. He'll look pretty critically at his contribution to this game, and look to be far better next week.
Our star receivers had very mediocre days. Rice - 2 catches for 35 yards, Baldwin 2 for 29, Tate 2 for 6. That's pretty horrible for our top three receivers. They'll see a lot of room for improvement next week. Even McCoy should have scored a TD on his long catch. He turned to stiff-arm the defender instead of plowing into the end zone.
There is a lot of room for improvement on offense. For a home game, to have our starting quarterback and top three receivers play like that, we'd think it was a loss if we hadn't seen the performance from the rest of the team. Hopefully Carroll focuses on that aspect of things and drills it home to the players so they don't take next week lightly.
This was a very encouraging win, a statement game. But it's even better because of the room for improvement. There is a lot to call out and work on for next week, and that should help keep things in perspective. And that is a good thing for this young team.

VERMONT — Archers will head into the woods on Saturday for the start of moose season and hunters with guns will get to take their shots beginning Oct. 15. But fewer hunters will be roaming Vermont's forest this fall on the lookout for one of the state's most iconic animals.
In this age of technology, it's less important to enjoy beautiful moments for what they are than it is to capture them digitally and share them online within seconds.
While that sounds sensible and doesn't at all signal the imminent downfall of civilization as we know it, sometimes I get so distracted by existing that I forget to treat my life like an ongoing photo op. Mostly I just post cute pictures of our dog to Facebook.
But I'm getting better.
VERMONT — The winners of Vermont's 2014 moose hunting permits were determined Thursday, July 17, at a lottery drawing in Montpelier.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, standing alongside Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter, started the computer-generated selection process that randomly picked 335 winners among more than 11,600 lottery applications.

MONTPELIER — Vermont's lottery for moose hunting permits closed June 17, but there's one more opportunity to get a permit for this fall's moose hunt. Vermont's auction for five moose hunting permits is open until 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 14.
Auction winners will hunt in one of several wildlife management units (WMUs) open to moose hunting and choose to hunt during the Oct. 1-7 archery season, or in the Oct. 18-23 regular season.
The first moose was a big bull. It stepped onto the road a hundred yards in front of my car and began to saunter across, without consideration of my need to decelerate quickly. Starksboro resident Rich Warren and I were driving Maine Highway 26 through Grafton Notch north toward the Magalloway River. Over the next 45 minutes he and I would see nine more moose. Most were yearlings — the moose equivalent of teenagers likely just kicked out of home so that mom could make way for a new arrival.
We like to give Canada a hard time. The excessive politeness. The accent. The fact that if all the moose in the country formed a city, it would be the fourth most populous in all of Canada. Things like that.
I've been to Canada a half-dozen times, and recently spent four days in Toronto — my girlfriend was going to an international studies conference, and I tagged along for fun.
LINCOLN — An investigation by Vermont state game wardens has let to a 25-year-old Starksboro man being charged with taking a moose out of season.
Game Warden Robert Currier and Sgt. George Scribner responded on Oct. 5 to a report of a moose found dead on Guthrie Road in Lincoln. The wardens determined the moose had been illegally shot. Vermont's firearms moose hunting season was Oct. 20-25 this year.
Further investigation led authorities to cite Shaun E. Rublee of Starksboro in the killing of the moose.

What does best Big in the game actually mean?? 22 / 13 and 2.5 when all is said and done? Or does it mean Good midrange game, more than one demension on the offensive end, 70% FT shooter, High BBall IQ. Truth be told; numbers per 48 minutes tells a different story. I beleive Dwight is very very good, but I don't think the gap between D12 and some others is as large as you think. I also believe he's more of a Power Forward in size but he has old school Center skills on offense. D12 is like Alonzo Mourning without the 10 foot jump shot or the ability to shoot 60+% from the FT line. I think a focused Pau and D12 combo is perfect. The only problem is D12 and Dirk is even better so I hope we can lock Dwight up for the next 5 years. Most explosive and athletic big man; YES. Best TRUE center?? Not so sure
Why would we trade the best big in the game and our future franchise player? Don't drink and post bro.

"It is the financial issues that most often resonate with consumers, whether it is the higher price of the vehicle itself, the cost to fuel or charge the vehicle, or the fear of higher maintenance costs. The bottom line is that most consumers want to be green, but not if there is a significant personal cost to them." –Mike VanNieuwkuyk, executive director of global vehicle research, J.D. Power and Associates
Here's a shocker: when push comes to shove, cost outweighs environmental worries in the minds of most consumers when it comes time to buy a vehicle. That means most consumers will pick a vehicle with a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine over a hybrid electric, all-electric, or even diesel-powered model solely because the sticker price for the gasoline-powered option is the lowest.
The end result of these cost-concerns, according to the 2011 U.S. Green Automotive Study from J.D. Power and Associates, is that the share of hybrid and all-electric vehicles is expected to remain below 10% of the U.S. market through 2016.
The study – based on a poll of 4,000 consumers that were in the market for a new vehicle this past February – nicely sums up the conundrum facing vehicle manufacturers when it comes to selling more so-called "green" vehicles: While consumers often cite saving money on fuel as the primary benefit of owning an alternative powertrain vehicle, the reality for many is that the initial cost of these vehicles is too high – even as fuel prices in the U.S. approach record levels.
Mike VanNieuwkuyk, J.D. Power's executive director of global vehicle research, noted that concern about the purchase price of alternative powertrain vehicles—particularly for hybrid electric vehicles—has become even more of an issue this year as, at the end of 2010, tax credits from the Energy Policy Act of 2005 got phased out.
"Hybrid electric vehicles have been available in the automotive market for more than 10 years, and consumer awareness and understanding of them has grown during that time," he noted. "As concerns about the functionality and performance of hybrid vehicles have abated, vehicle price has become more prevalent as the primary purchase impediment. Without a tax credit to offset the price premium, consumers must absorb all of this additional cost."
Furthermore, aggressive U.S. government subsidies are unlikely to be sustainable over the long term, he explained, as the nation begins to try to reign in massive deficit spending. Thus, ultimately, the true cost of alternative powertain technology needs to come down substantially in order for consumers to purchase it.
This "sticker shock" syndrome, by the way, creates a "chicken and egg" scenario for hybrid and all-electric vehicles to a degree, for the single most costly component of either vehicle remains the batteries.
Without high sales volumes, say most experts, the cost of batteries – and the hybrid and all-electric vehicles powered by them won't come down. But if, by extension, that component makes these vehicles too expensive in the minds of most consumers, sales won't ever reach the required volume for lower costs.
In addition to significant price premiums for batteries, functional concerns are also more likely to limit consideration rates for all-electric powertrains. Driving range and the availability of charging sites away from home are the two concerns cited most often, J.D. Power's poll found, with this "range anxiety" contributing to the lowest consideration levels.
Still, by the end of 2016, J.D. Power and Associates expects there to be 159 hybrid and electric vehicle models available for purchase in the U.S. market – a significant increase from only 31 hybrid and electric models in 2009.
However, VanNieuwkuyk stressed converting interest in hybrid and all-electric vehicles into actual sales for all of these models will require concerted efforts to improve the technology and infrastructure and reduce the cost to consumers. In short, he noted, automakers, along with government entities and others, face considerable work educating consumers as to the true costs and benefits of these technologies.
[Another big issue – noted in commentary from David McQueen, a regular reader of this blog, this week – is that the U.S. lacks the electrical generation capacity to support the addition of millions of electrically-powered vehicles. We'll go into that subject in another post.]
Interestingly, J.D. Power found that most consumers view hybrids and EVs largely from a cost-saving perspective, rather than from a purely "good for the environmental" stance – with reduced expenditure on fuel the predominant benefit cited by consumers for each of the primary alternative powertrain technologies examined in the firm's study.
Although the environmental benefits of these vehicles are recognized, they are mentioned far less frequently than saving money on fuel. For example, 75% of consumers who indicate they would consider a hybrid electric vehicle cite lower fuel costs as a main benefit, J.D. Power found. In contrast only 50% cite "better for the environment" as a main benefit of these vehicles.
"Only through promotion and education will significant numbers of U.S. consumers become sufficiently comfortable with both the financial investment and, in some cases, lifestyle changes required to make the leap from traditional vehicles to alternative powertrain vehicles," VanNieuwkuyk said.
But that might be more easily said than done.

AMC and Sony Pictures Television confirmed today that they have reached a licensing agreement for a spinoff of Vince Gilligan's landmark AMC/SPT series Breaking Bad. As conceived, the new series is based on the show's popular Saul Goodman character with the working title Better Call Saul. Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White's lawyer.
The possibility of a Saul Goodman spinoff series was revealed last April and with the recent ratings hike that Breaking Bad has been enjoying, it has felt like more and more of a distinct possibility, as the network would want to capitalize on the audience interest in the show and characters as quickly as possible.
In May, Gilligan, who was developing the series with Peter Gould, who created the Saul Goodman character, said that they hadn't yet decided if it would be a prequel or sequel to the events of Breaking Bad.
"I like to think of Saul as a cockroach in the best possible way," Gilligan told Vulture, indicating that the crafty lawyer may indeed survive the series' carnage. "This is a guy who's going to survive while the rest of us have been nuked into annihilation. He'll be the worst-dressed cockroach in the world." Now that we know it will function as a prequel, Saul's fate is a little more up in the air.
"[Saul] kind of knows everybody...everybody in town, all the major players. And he has a hand in the business every which way he can," Gilligan told Yahoo! TV back in April. "So we just have to figure out exactly what kind of story we're telling. Is it a story about his creation of his own character? Because Saul Goodman, as he explains in his first episode, is not his real name. He is a self-created character, much like Heisenberg. Do we tell the story of his origins? We're still trying to hash that out. But there are a lot of fun possibilities."
Alan Sepinwall of Hitfix reports that deals still need to be made for Gilligan and Gould, and it is currently unclear if Gilligan will be showrunning the series. Better Call Saul is also likely to go straight to series, with no pilot.

Here in Brazil there a lot of projects that have been sponsored by the government, but don't think that the process to make it happen is easy, it is quite the opposite. Imaterial is the conceptual project of Brazilian artists Bruno Kurru and Marília Coelho. Have a look at the official text from the project, and check out the website itself. It's an amazing mental and visual experience.
An endless website. As Bruno Kurru and Marília Coelho believe, endless like our souls. How does one transfer a dancing soul to digital media? That was the challenge of the project Imaterial, sponsored by the Brazilian Culture Ministry.
Both artists believe that the aesthetic, and ethical dimension of art works are deeply connected to the artist that create it, and that is why all life attitudes, conscious or not, reflect directly through the creation.
This consciousness about life, about I/the other/around is to them the Spirituality. These last years they are trying to re-connect with it, and they found a strong connection with Kandinsky's words from the book "Concerning the Spiritual In Art" 1910. This is where their inspiration came from.
During the process, neither separated from their individual lives. They went deep into the concept, certain that it would make them better humans beings (even though they were already an amazing couple in life, and in their respective arts). They became more conscious, they became people that pass on mutual respect, people that search to get out of contemporary anxiety, instead sharing the love for everything around them. Those very important virtues permeate all the choices of the project.
The website was built as a blog, without size limits, where content is posted individually. Content can also be deleted, changed, over posted, etc. For this reason the website is endless, and every time you visit it, you have the chance to see entirely new content, and new aesthetic situations.
What makes me super excited about the website is that the I can directly interact with the content, reorganizing the way I want. It's great to get lost, or to find yourself there, finding yourself in unknown places, open, and flexible to new ideas. It is a direct reflection of the work process, and the lives of the couple, and artists Bruno Kurru and Marília Coelho.

You know what they say about Limburger, Norma, that it smells better coming out than it does going in. Yeah, anyway... LOL Both of Nasonville's brick cheeses appear to be aged from the descriptions on the website so I probably wouldn't try those on a pizza, either. That "German" brick sounds like the really potent one.Hey, keep us posted!!! Since you mentioned Asiago, here's the Wikipedia lowdown on that...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiago_cheeseI guess the real stuff only comes from the Italian Alps.
Were there any comments on the Eddie's Brick Cheese from Mande in Pittsburgh? Norma I think your friend bought it?
Norma,Here is a link to a WISCONSIN brick cheese!http://www.wisconsinchalet.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=99
Norma, have you tried the Cracker Barrel Aged Reserve? It's a white cheddar that's aged and probably more available to anybody/everybody. It's in a black package. Occasionally supermarkets have the Cracker Barrel line on sale 2 for $5.Since you're sure you've found your cheese and it's a 1 year aged white cheddar, have you tried any other aged cheddars?
Sorry Norma,For some reason, i thought that you were mixing the Nasonville with brick cheese.BOARDWALKER
Norma,The Nasonville online store only shows the 1 Year Aged Cheddar in yellow. Is the white 1 Year Aged Cheddar special order?BOARDWALKER
Norma,It might be worth exploring whether the Nasonville yellow cheddar cheese is the same as that used by Mack's but for the color. If so, there should be virtually no difference between the performance and characteristics of the two cheeses.Peter
Mark,I have tried Cracker Barrel cheddar on the boardwalk thread, but can't recall what kind it was. I know Cracker Barrel cheddar is readily available to most members. I really don't think I am going to try other aged cheddars, unless Heagy's at market can age me some cheddar. If members want to purchase some Nasonville aged one year old cheddar, I think they will be happy with the results.Norma
Maybe you tried Vermont in the yellow wrapper or Extra Sharp/Extra Sharp-White, both in red wrappers. Aged Reserve in the black wrapper is a little harder to find around here. Likewise the Cracked Black Pepper.I guess I will have to wait on a Mack's pizza clone until other brands work. Never heard of that brand of cheese, sauce, nor flour here.
Orange cheese is officially banned on my pizzas and, as a matter of fact, my entire household as well. LOL Where does annato food coloring come from and why was it originally used in cheese?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annatto
Pete,Lol, that orange cheese is banned on your pizzas. Just shut you eyes. Thanks for the link about Annato. I recall Peter posting about it before.Norma
I think ANY color cheddar should be banned on pizza. If it doesn't have mozzarella it should be called something else!P.S. I bought a bottle off Annato spice but didn't know what to do with it!

Ann Vanderhoof has given readers two Caribbean travelogues to savour, first in her debut novel, An Embarrassment of Mangoes, and now in The Spice Necklace.
Her second Caribbean odyssey aboard her and husband Steve's sailboat Receta ("recipe" in Spanish) takes us on a deliciously slow cruise through the Caribbean.
It's been 10 years since their first two-year trip in the mid- '90s (as told in An Embarrassment of Mangoes), where the couple leave behind the hectic pace of Toronto and sail from Canada to the Caribbean. They chuck their busy magazine jobs for a slow-paced life of soaking up island cultures and flavours.
This time, anxious once again to escape city life, they lazily island-hop from the Dominican Republic to St. Lucia to Trinidad.
Along the way, Vanderhoof, who has written for Gourmet, More and Islands magazines, follows her foodie senses to local kitchens, markets and farms and meets a host of characters. Among her collection of local fare is real nutmeg in Grenada and oregano goats in the Dominican Republic. In her tiny two-by-two-foot on-board kitchen, she turns out dozens of local recipes, which you'll find in the book.
We asked her a few questions about food, travel and the Caribbean pastime of "liming."
Q: Why are travel and food so intertwined?
A: There's something in the smell and taste that cements memories. When I'm back in Canada, there are some tastes I just long for. In Trinidad, they make these roti with anything and everything in them. They include curry pumpkin in it or whatever's in season. It's making my mouth water just talking about it.
Q: What's become your favourite place in the Caribbean?
A: The longer we stay in a place, the more we are likely to fall in love with it. We're still in love with Grenada, but now that we've spent more time in Trinidad and more time in St. Lucia or the small island of Carriacou ... it's stolen our hearts. The place we are in is our favourite. It's always hard for us to lift our anchor and move on.
Q: What's a must-do in one of your favourite places?
A: The more you spend time in a place, the more you realize you've only scratched the surface. In St. Lucia, we climbed the Gros Pitons (one of the iconic peaks of the island). It's amazing.
Q: Other recommendations?
A: Go to local markets. Have some small bills in your pocket and just buy a few small things. You get caught up in the smells ... the hustle and bustle.
Q: Favourite souvenir?
A: In the markets of Grenada the women make spice necklaces. I just can't resist them. They make them with nutmeg, cloves, bay leaf, turmeric. You just breathe in the aromas.
Q: If you were limited to one gadget, what would it be?
A: Everything has to serve many purposes and everything has to earn its keep. It would have to be a micro-plane. Another one that's not a gadget is a pressure cooker. It's valuable on a boat because it speeds up the cooking time.
Q: What have you learned about yourself in your travels?
A: I was a magazine editor before I left. I was Ms. Deadline. I learned there was more to life than that. In Trinidad, there is a word -- "liming" -- used as a noun and a verb. It means, chilling or relaxing, spending time with friends. People say, "Who you liming with tonight?" I learned how to lime!

There really is nothing like going to a live wrestling event.
In the past week I've had the chance to go to both a TNA house show in Windsor, Ontario, and a Smackdown TV taping in Cleveland, Ohio, and it really was quite the contrast.
Now, up front, it's not fair to compare a house show to a television taping, but the differences were stark.
TNA came to Windsor with what can generously be described as their B-crew. It was the who's-who of who isn't on TV right now because TNA booked the Windsor show, plus another in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., with Impact still being live on Thursdays. So that meant the crew who worked the house shows couldn't be anyone who was on TV. That results in a show that was 5.5 matches long, only lasted two hours, and that includes a 20-minute intermission, and featured Gunner of all people in the main event.
The two biggest stars on the show were Rob Van Dam and Mr. Anderson and RVD didn't even have his X Division title with him.
The crowd was about 500 people strong and not particularly heated for much of the night, no big surprise on either front considering the card. Kid Kash, however, did a fantastic job of going old school on the fans, welcoming some of them to jump the rail to fight him and other various heel techniques. Then he and Garett Bischoff had about a 15-minute match.
The TNA show did have its merits.
While the house show experience with them has diminished since Don West left the company, the pre-show meet-and-greet with some of the wrestlers is a great innovation that many in attendance took advantage of. And their sale of the "Brown Bag Special," which includes four DVDs, two shirts and two programs for $30, is a genius marketing program that not only gives the fans a great deal but allows TNA to clear out its warehouse quicker.
And a big boost was getting to break bread with SLAM! Wrestling's own Bob Kapur at the fantastic Tunnel BBQ in Windsor after the show.
Comparing it to the Smackdown taping in Cleveland, however, just isn't fair.
It featured many stars and saw matches taped for Main Event, Saturday Morning Slam and, of course, Smackdown itself.
Although the crowd was not as big as it was back in March when more than 16,000 people packed Quicken Loans Arena to see The Rock, the seats that weren't tarped off were completely full and the fans were into the show. It was a healthy crowd for a Smackdown taping.
Ryback even made an appearance on Saturday Morning Slam, beating up two jobbers. What was great is that the jobbers came out without an entrance and when the people saw them in the ring, they started chanting "Feed me more!" and exploded when Ryback's music hit.
After Smackdown went off the air, Sheamus challenged Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship. It ended in about a minute by DQ when Show low-blowed Sheamus. Of course, Sheamus (in jeans) laid him out with the Brogue Kick to send everyone home happy.
I won't say too much else about the show because none of it has aired on TV yet, but it was a great night that had some very good wrestling and some excellent talking, as well.
So if there's wrestling in your town, whether it be WWE, TNA or even Ring of Honor or CHIKARA or your local independent promotion, go check it out. There's nothing like live wrestling.
Star of the Week: The Miz
This has been a weird week for The Miz, but one that earns him our Star of the Week. Possibly in the midst of turning face, Miz was named to Team Foley at Survivor Series and then teamed with Kane to beat the Rhodes Scholars on Raw. Then, on Main Event (taped Tuesday in Cleveland, his hometown), he engaged in a great promo battle with Dolph Ziggler and was involved in a match where he played the face on Smackdown, which was quite the odd sight to see after seeing him be a heel for so long.
It's certainly a new role for him, and if it sticks, one that will take quite a bit of getting used to. But at the same time, it seems to have some potential.
Random Thoughts
Impact goes back to its former taped format this month due to American Thanksgiving. We'll see if being taped for the first time since May alters the product at all ... Although I didn't have a chance to see the Turning Point pay-per-view due to work, I heard great things about the Jeff Hardy/Austin Aries ladder match. Also, the Bobby Roode/AJ Styles match from Impact last week deserves praise ... I really enjoying Todd Keneley on the Impact broadcasts. Nothing against Mike Tenay and Taz, but hearing two fresh voices on the show (Keneley and Jeremy Borash) in the first hour is welcome. I'd be in favor of WWE doing something similar on Raw, potentially using Michael Cole and Jim Ross for the first half of the show and then bringing in Jerry Lawler with Cole for the second half. Back to the TNA team, though. Borash is a fantastic talent who knows their product inside and out. He's a valued addition to the TV crew.
Tweets of the Week
We have a few tweets this week talking about the seventh anniversary of the death of Eddie Guerrero:

20 Years Ago
From The Files Of June 27, 1991
Lyle Mellott of McConnellsburg Motor and Implement announced this week that the McConnellsburg business, as well as Juniata Equipment Company, Everett, will cease doing business as farm equipment and appliance dealers as of July 1, 1991.

Charlie Chaplin Time Traveller? Video created by George Clarke on how he noticed a strange person in some extra footage of a Charlie Chaplin video, a person who appears to be talking on a cell phone, in 1928! At first it might seem wierd, but the best and most logical explanation is that this is a time traveller with some form of communication device, which did not exist in 1928. Watch for yourself and decide...

Contemplating the end of the world
December 17, 2012 in Best Of, Misc by pacejmiller
So the world is apparently going to end on December 21.
We've had plenty of scares before, be it Y2K or Nostradamus or some loony evangelical pastor in Texas, but this time a lot of people genuinely believe it because it's supposedly from the Mayans. Chances are most of them have seen Apocalypto and know just how awesome the Mayans are and can never be wrong.
But as always, there are also people telling us everything will be OK. December 21 will just be like any other day, they say. The Mayan calendar actually goes on and on, but they just ran out of walls in that particular cave. D'oh.
NASA has reportedly also confirmed that there are no meteors or asteroids coming our way, so that rules out a Deep Impact (or is that Deep Rising?) or Armageddon scenario.
Not many people have mentioned the possibility of something like The Core happening (you know, that Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank movie about how the Earth's core stops rotating) — apparently the science is a little off in that one.
Unexpected and rapid global warming causing a 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow scenario is still possible, right? Apparently not, or else world leaders would be in hiding already.
So that leaves us with some kind of unforeseen natural disaster (probably an earthquake) — though I understand earthquakes can be predicted to some degree these days and in any case it's unlikely to affect the entire planet — or an Independence Day, Cloverfield, The Day the Earth Stood Still or War of the Worlds-like alien invasion. I personally believe that if it's going to be anything it'll be Godzilla, or better still, Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
All joking aside, all this talk about the end of the world coming has gotten my thinking. If it was really going to be the end, would I have done everything I wanted to do by this point in my life? The answer is of course no.
I have done some (admittedly rough) calculations and I believe I need (without concern for finances and a day-to-day job) a full year to catch up on all the movies I had planned to see, a year to read all the books I planned to read, half a year to watch all the TV series I want to see, half a year to play all the video games I've wanted to play, a year each for the two books I want to write, another six months for a screenplay, six months for travel and six more months to get into shape. That's seven and a half years.
That's not the time I need to do those things for the rest of my natural life, just the time I need to catch up to where I want to be right now.
Which brings me to the conclusion that if I survive December 21 I'm going to need to get a move on. With everything.

- Industrial Fittings
The MEMOLUB® MPS-12 (Multi-Point System) is a precise, reliable, and easy to install system that can lubricate 12 lube points with one lubricator.
All of the materials required are available to quickly put your MEMOLUB® HPS lubricator to profitable use in a multi-point application.
Purchase prefilled nylon tubing and make installation as simple as "Plug 'n Lube"
How to order your Multi-Point System .pdf
How to order your Plug 'n Lube pre-filled nylon tubing .pdf
The MPS-12 System consists of a MEMOLUB® high pressure lubricator, a distribution valve which meters the lubricant to all lube points, a mounting bracket and push-in tube fittings for your bearings.
All MEMOLUB® MPS systems have been primed before shipment and are ready for use. On first installation of the MPS system, all lube lines and bearings should be pre-charged with the same lubricant that was ordered with the MEMOLUB® lubricator (prefilled tubing is available and sold separately).
This system is especially suited for applications with several lube points in close proximity.
Grease or Oil:
There are two system types available; one for grease applications and one for oil applications. When ordering, be certain to specify the system appropriate for your application.
Memolub MPS Resouces:

Optional Parts:
Protective Cover: To protect your MEMOLUB® lubricator in harsher evironments we offer a nylon protective cover. This cover is sold seperately and is available for all three size lubricators.
Prefilled Nylon Tubing: Nylon tubing required to complete the installation is sold separately. The standard size tubing is 5/16" OD, but other sizes are available. Tubing can be purchased two ways; pre-filled in 5 foot increments from 5 to 30 feet, or empty in any length from 1 to 100 feet.
Case Study No. 601
Steel Processing
Steel, Aluminum, Glass & Plastic
Six single-point lubricators could not generate enough pressure to overcome the back pressure from the machine. As a result, lubricant rarely reached the slides.
The six lubricators were replaced with 1 MEMOLUB 6-point lubrication system, using the customer's existing lines. The 350psi output pressure was more than enough to reach the slides. The need to service only one lubricator, versus six, proved to be an added cost benefit.

The CSU's more than 3 million alumni are a powerful force within California.
They shape the state's future through teaching, agriculture, business, and
sciences. Approximately one in ten workers in the state has a CSU degree,
including more than half of California teachers and more than half of its
state legislators.
The parents of the CSU's more than 474,000 students are also a growing force,
involved in campus programs and activities that support their students and
CSU campus programs. Each year, more CSU alumni see their own children becoming
CSU graduates.
Private and corporate donors have contributed billions to support the CSU
campuses and system initiatives. Many of the CSU's financial supporters are
themselves alumni and parents. Through their contributions, they provide the
CSU with a "margin of excellence" in its courses and programs.
Thanks to the support of these strong constituencies, the CSU remains a
leader in high-quality, accessible, student-focused higher education.

Survey Defines Progression of Rosacea
Although the progression of rosacea can vary substantially from one individual to another, flushing and persistent redness are by far the most common early signs of the disorder, according to a new survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society.
In the survey of 1,072 rosacea patients on the order of appearance of rosacea signs and symptoms, 31 percent said that flushing was the first symptom they experienced, and 63 percent said it was the second. Meanwhile, 24 percent reported that persistent redness was their first sign of rosacea, while it was named second by 34 percent and third by 39 percent.
"Rosacea goes undiagnosed in so many people because the most common initial symptoms – flushing and persistent redness – are often overlooked or mistaken for something else, such as sunburn," said Dr. John Wolf, chairman of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine. "Very often, patients are already experiencing multiple signs of rosacea before they seek medical help."
While nearly 43 percent of the survey respondents said more than a year elapsed between the time they experienced their first rosacea symptom and their most recent, for most this happened more quickly. Thirty-eight percent said the interval was only a few months and 20 percent said it was about a year.
Beyond flushing and redness, other signs and symptoms most commonly appeared in the following order: bumps (third, 30 percent, or fourth, 24 percent), pimples (third, 28 percent, or fourth, 20 percent), visible blood vessels (third, 17 percent, or fourth, 28 percent), burning or stinging (third, 14 percent, or fourth, 26 percent), dry appearance (fourth, 18 percent, or fifth, 21 percent), raised red patches (fourth, 16 percent, or fifth, 14 percent) and swelling (fifth, 15 percent, sixth, 12 percent, or seventh, 13 percent).
Although eye irritation was rarely the first sign of rosacea, it was reported as second by 14 percent and as third by 10 percent, fourth by 19 percent, or fifth by 19 percent of the patients.
Survey respondents tended to be well into adulthood before the first sign of rosacea appeared. Twenty-five percent said they were in their 30s, 22 percent were in their 40s and 25 percent reported they were over 50. Seventeen percent were in their 20s and 11 percent were under 20.
"As awareness of rosacea and its early signs and symptoms increases, early diagnosis and treatment should become more of the norm," Dr. Wolf said. "Patients will be better able to manage their disorder once they know what it is and receive proper therapy and daily care."
He noted that more than 77 percent of the survey respondents reported medical therapy had reduced the signs and symptoms of their condition.
