Scalloped Lemon Dill Potatoes
Today was an unusually overcast day and the photography session on my kitchen counter did not go well. I guess if the lighting is bad enough, not even Photoshop can salvage it. I was going to show you how lovely this looked before it went into the oven, but I guess we'll just have to be satisfied with the final results.
This is a very simple recipe you can make with an extra boiled potato that you had leftover from yesterday...because you boiled too many of them...or you can boil on afresh if you really want.
Scalloped Lemon Dill Potatoes
1 Big Potato Boiled with its Skin On
Fresh Dill
2 Cloves Garlic
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Lemon Salt (You can make it with fresh lemon rind and salt if you wish)
Black Pepper
Coarse Spanish Paprika
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250C. Get your biggest casserole dish and line it with oven paper.
Step 2: Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can and then lay them in one layer in the casserole dish.
Step 3: Sprinkle with lemon salt, black pepper, fresh dill, chili and paprika.
Step 4: Make another layer on top and do the same thing.
Step 5: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and place 2 garlic cloves on top.
Step 6: Roast in oven for 30 minutes or until the top layer has browned a bit and looks crispy.
This would make a nice side dish for a lot of things but I have to be honest. I just had this with eggs & Kalles on the side. This was my Sunday morning brunch!

This picture is 'Perfect', which means even an over cast day can't affect the quality of your awesome shots M ! I am a big dill potato salad fan, so the idea of baked version sounds very appealing.

Never combine dill with potatoes. Will try some in the future. You know I love potatoes a lot, right?

Anncoo: I only started doing this recently too. I always used rosemary, thyme or oregano. As you can see it's been a long time favorite for some people, i.e. Justin. I am cooking with dill a lot this week because I found a gigantic bunch of dill on sale in the local grocery which is quite extraordinary. I have cleaned and frozen most of it in a tupperware now. :)

Taste Traveller: The bad lighting was the photo of the potatoes before they went into to the oven. lol
By the time they came out the sun had come out (?) and it was also taken in a different room!

You have so jogged my memory to about 3-4 years ago when I first read Ruth Reich book Garlic and Sapphiers in which she has a recipe for scalloped potatoes - I so wanted to make them when I read the recipe but somehow ocmpletely forgot about it - thanks for reminding!
And thanks for trying the poppy seeds cupcakes and letting me know how they turned out for you. :)

9/11 Blogger
February 19, 2010
AE911truth marks its benchmark– that more than 1000 professionals have undersigned support for a new investigation based upon inconsistent evidence with the official story of the 9/11 attacks.
Video stream: http://noliesradio.org/archives/12471
Coming Up Fri Feb 19th – 11:00 am Pacific – 2:00 pm Eastern – 19:00 GMT
The press conference will be archived on the site after the broadcasts.
1,000 Architects & Engineers Call for New 9/11 Investigation
PR Newswire
February 19, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Richard Gage, AIA, architect and founder of the non-profit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Inc. (AE911Truth), will announce a decisive milestone today at a press conference in San Francisco, as more than 1,000 worldwide architects and engineers now support the call for a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. After careful examination of the official explanation, along with the forensic data omitted from official reports, these professionals have concluded that a new independent investigation into these mysterious collapses is needed.
Mr. Gage will deliver the news around this major development, accompanied by signers of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth petition. The press conference will be held concurrently in 38 cities in 6 countries. http://www.ae911truth.org/info/160
These prominent architectural and engineering professionals will discuss the organization's findings and concerns. A brief presentation of the explosive evidence they have compiled will be followed by Q & A. The presentation is an important update of "9/11: Blueprint for Truth – The Architecture of Destruction," the DVD produced by the organization, and available on their website AE911Truth.org, which analyzes the scientific forensic evidence concluding that the three skyscrapers in New York City were demolished with explosives on 9/11. The petition will be delivered today to every congressional representative by AE911Truth petition signers throughout the country. Government officials will be notified that "Misprision of Treason", US Code 18 (Sec. 2382), is a serious federal offense which requires those with evidence of treason to act.
Gage and his group base their conclusions on forensic evidence. Gage states, "The official FEMA and NIST reports provide insufficient, contradictory, and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials. Gage points out the destruction of the third high-rise, World Trade Center 7, a 47-story skyscraper which was not hit by an aircraft, yet came down in pure free-fall acceleration for more than 100 feet, a significant fact that NIST has been forced to admit, due to research conducted by AE911Truth petition signers. Other disturbing facts emerging from the forensic evidence include:
Complete destruction of both Twin Towers in just 10 to 14 seconds at near free-fall acceleration
Over 100 first-responder reports of explosions and flashes at onset of destruction
Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph
Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking
1200-foot-dia. debris field: no "pancaked" floors seen in the debris pile
Several tons of molten metal found in debris.
Evidence of advanced explosive nano-thermitic composite material found in the WTC dust by an international team of scientists
AE911Truth's conclusions are shared by thousands of scientists; senior-level military, intelligence and government officials; pilots and aviation professionals; firefighters; scholars and university professors; and 9/11 survivors and their family members. The implications are enormous and may have profound impact on the forthcoming Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial.
The 9/11 Truth Movement, which Time magazine in 2006 called "a mainstream political reality," continues to gain momentum. As AE911Truth's own influence grows, Gage has embarked on well over 130 speaking events, covering 20 states and 13 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. He has been interviewed by media around the world – including the BBC, CBC, NatGeo, and Fox TV.

You can see here a basic map of Dimos Marousi from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Dimos Marousi, related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Dimos Marousi there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Dimos Marousi in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Dimos Marousi using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Dimos Marousi using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.
Look below to see more useful information regarding Dimos Marousi and the map of Dimos Marousi. You can find links to other places related to Dimos Marousi, but there are also tips about how to easily print the map of Dimos Marousi, where to find detailed information about Dimos Marousi, how to plan your journey and much more. Our primary target is to allow you to compare different types of maps, but we would also like to offer you more when considering your travels and learning about the World.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Miguel Facusse has his share of enemies. Even his friends acknowledge that the man who may be the most powerful person in Honduras is no angel.
Around his neck, he wears gold medallions of Jesus and the Virgin Mary; on his desk, he usually keeps a pistol — although he tells a reporter in a rare interview, "I removed it so you wouldn't see it."
The 89-year-old businessman travels this capital city in an armored SUV followed by bodyguards in a chase car and crisscrosses the country in his King Air turboprop, swooping down in other Central American nations where he also has businesses.
Or he flies off to his private airport at a vast nature reserve stocked with deer and jaguars. Armed guards watch over the animals and his guests alike.

U.S. Air National Guardsman Ryan Dush prepared his gear Tuesday morning as he organized an aquatic search-and-rescue mission.
In just a few hours, he was set to jump out of a helicopter and parachute into deep waters — just an average day in the life of a pararescue jumper (PJ), an elite class of airmen who could be sent anywhere in the world in a moment's notice for a search, rescue, or recovery mission. (more…)

National Australia Bank—Board Ready: Pathway to Potential
Learn about NAB's efforts to increase gender diversity on corporate boards.
High-potential women advance more slowly than their male peers, in terms of both career progression and pay, even though they employ career management strategies similar to men's. Organizations that neglect this critical talent-management issue risk lagging their competitors in attracting, developing, and retaining the best candidates to serve as the next generation of leaders.

As the F- Type debuts, Jaguar had broken new ground to achieve its goals. The F-Type is built around the most advanced, rigid and lightweight aluminum architecture to date. This meets the car's two goals of low mass and extreme rigidity.
AC300, a 6000-series aluminum alloy, was specifically selected for parts of the F-Type. The structure is riveted and bonded, emitting up to 80% less CO2 during the manufacturing process compared to traditional welding of a comparable steel structure.
A new process, known as "warm forming", is used to produce the inner door stamping. Ordinarily, aluminum could not achieve the desired shape, so the metal is heated to 500°F before pressing. Shape and structure are achieved from one large pressing rather than numerous smaller ones. Resulting in a radius tightness of just 8mm, allowing the engineers to reproduce the car's "heartlines" exactly as the designers intended.
Also included is all-aluminum double wishbone front and rear suspension, helping endow the F-Type with an ideal balance, enhancing the agility of a pure sports car.
Composite materials are also utilized in the new Jag, with structures under the sills, as well as the trunk lid constructed from high-strength polymers, giving an overall vehicle weight of about 3521 lb.
However, aluminum forms the major part of the commitment Jaguar has made to sustainability. More than half the content of the car comes from recycled or reclaimed metal, and up to 90% can be salvaged when the car comes to the end of its life.

SWsoft Virtuozzo for Linux 3.0 is recognized as the Best Server Virtualization (OS Virtualization) by InfoWorld magazine in its January 1, 2007 issue.
SWsoft is among the 41 winners of the 2007 Technology of the Year Awards selected by InfoWorld's Test Center editors and reviewers from more than 230 products tested during 2006.
In the article, senior contributing editor Paul Venezia writes, "2006 will be viewed as the year server virtualization broke out of the labs and QA centers and into production environments in IT shops all over the world. For the largest to the smallest infrastructures, it's been a banner year for server consolidation."
InfoWorld continued: "SWsoft has its ducks in a row with Virtuozzo for Linux 3.0. It's a well-designed and well-implemented OS-level virtualization solution at a surprisingly low cost. Taking a different approach than hardware virtualization solutions such as VMware and Xen, Virtuozzo is an outstanding choice for companies with large infrastructures."
"Virtuozzo enterprise sales doubled quarter-over-quarter in 2006, so it's clear that our customers are realizing the benefits that led to InfoWorld's selection - including cost savings, better utilization of their servers and improved management of their IT infrastructure," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "We appreciate that the editors at InfoWorld have acknowledged the unique attributes of operating system virtualization."
With Virtuozzo, a single Linux or Windows OS instance can be dynamically partitioned into multiple, highly-efficient virtual environments. The Virtuozzo architecture enables each virtual environment to scale up to the full resources of the physical server and maintain performance at levels consistent with a native server. Virtuozzo enables density of up to hundreds of virtual environments on a single physical server, which is many more times the number of virtual machines than are possible with other virtualization technologies.
Unlike virtual machines and hypervisors, OS-level virtualization addresses the challenge faced by today's datacenters of operating systems sprawl. Virtuozzo provides efficiency and manageability that result in the lowest total cost-of-ownership and fastest ROI for customers.

"Public notice." Sounds great, but it costs money ... at least in the print media. So why in the world should governmental entities spend taxpayers' money on public notices when they can post them on the Internet for next to nothing?
Because the taxpayers have a right to know, have a need to know and want to know, that's why. The argument is as simple as that.
This weekend, alumni and friends of Campbellsville University will visit our community to celebrate CU's many accomplishments during homecoming.
Those who haven't visited in a while will notice some changes. Just in the past few years, we've seen the addition of the E. Bruce Heilman Student Center, the School of Nursing, the Ransdell Chapel and Gosser Gymnasium. Next on the construction agenda is a new School of Business and Economics.
But it's not just physical changes that are worth noting.
Regardless of who wins the presidential race on Nov. 4, history will be made. The U.S. will welcome either its first black president or first female vice president.
Wouldn't you like to say you had a hand in making history?
For those who haven't yet registered to vote, there is just one week left in which to do so. The deadline is Monday, Oct. 6. If you're registering at the Taylor County Clerk's office, you must do so before 4:30 p.m. Registration cards that are mailed in must be postmarked by Oct. 6.
Congress will never regain the faith of ordinary Americans until members of Congress win their trust. This appears to be a long way off.
I see no other way to read the results of a recent poll by the Center on Congress at Indiana University. When it asked 1,000 people whether members of Congress are "honest people of good character," a rather stunning 42 percent said that most are not. Asked to grade Congress on holding its members to high ethical standards, 75 percent gave it either a D or an F.
More than 300 people from Taylor and surrounding counties participated in the 22nd annual Green River Lake Cleanup on Saturday morning. And, after about three hours of work, volunteers had filled a record amount of trash bags.
The 301 boy and girl scouts, school children, church group members and other individuals are to be commended for the efforts Saturday. While the cleanup has seen more volunteers in the past, this year's group collected 40 more bags of trash than last year's now-shattered record of 178 bags.
Campbellsville is becoming a recognizable name.
Over the years, we've had several young ladies from our community selected to represent our state at the Miss America pageant. We've also had our share of well-known coaches and authors.
Now, however, after the success that Taylor County High graduate J.B. Holmes saw at this past weekend's Ryder Cup at Valhalla Country Club in Louisville, there's no stretching the fact that many will recognize the name of our town even more.
Congress continues to wrangle on measures to curb the alleged influence of speculators on oil prices. Republicans want to insert provisions on offshore and ANWR drilling, while Democrats prefer to focus on enlarging the regulatory powers of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
However the political maneuvering turns out, cracking down on investors will only harm consumers. There is no hard evidence that speculation is responsible for high oil prices, and the proposed legislation would hamstring the beneficial role that futures markets play in our economy.
Fall is in the air. The evenings are getting chilly, children are planning their Halloween costumes and, before we know it, Christmas decorations will start appearing.
But it's also a time for pride.
October is "Roadside PRIDE Month" in southern and eastern Kentucky. Throughout October, residents will be picking up roadside litter and getting rid of items they no longer need.
When children are told to clean up a mess, often their response is "... but I didn't do it." And, honestly, the rest of us often have a similar response.
It's more than "water cooler talk" or casual conversation these days.
The price of gas is affecting our everyday lives.
It's hard for most of us to drive past a gas station without at least a casual glance at the price sign. And oftentimes that glance is more than just casual.
Last Friday, stories about increasing gas prices were buzzing about, with projections as high as $4.50 or $5 a gallon.
One common thread in nearly all the stories: Why?
Trey Grayson
Secretary of State
When our founding fathers emerged from the Constitutional Convention in 1789, they gave America the principles that continue to guide us to the present. Not only does the Constitution guide American democracy, but it is the longest lasting constitution in human history and has served as an inspiration for democratic constitutions around the world.
Many of us can remember listening to Everette Lee, one of the founders of Campbellsville's Fourth of July Celebration, remark on Main Street during opening ceremonies: "They're one of ours," when introducing someone being honored.
That phrase could not be any more evident than when John "J.B." Holmes plays for the United States during the 37th Ryder Cup this week at Valhalla.
"A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever." -Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810-1889)
We're excited! Woody, the Kentucky Wiener dog is back. And starting next week, children in Campbellsville and Taylor County can follow along through 10 weeks of his misadventures.
According to recent news reports, a 69-year-old Louisville woman attempted to secure a domestic violence order against her 68-year-old husband. However, Judge Joseph O'Reilly determined that he "did not find the burden of proof that violence occurred," and did not issue the order. This was on Aug. 20. On Aug. 25, Dorene Seidl was shot to death allegedly by her husband as she attempted to retrieve belongings from her home.
As much as we would wish that every baby is born healthy, life doesn't always happen like that. That's why organizations such as the March of Dimes are so important.
The March of Dimes is a nonprofit health organization that works to give all babies a chance. Beginning with its founding in 1938 and the subsequent development of a vaccine to eliminate polio, the March of Dimes has saved the lives of millions of babies over the past 70 years.
The Campbellsville National Guard unit has been activated once again. This time, however, it's not for war, thank goodness.
When we've written stories in the past about our local unit being activated, it's always been with an aspect of concern for their welfare as they travel overseas to fight the war against terror.
Now, it's others' welfare that's the concern.
Rarely, if ever, has an election captured global attention like this one. The race for the White House is a topic of conversation at dinner tables, in marketplaces and halls of worship and on news broadcasts around the world. Democracy is on full display, and the message is hopeful, forward-looking and bright.
Here at home, the historic nature of this election is inspiring a kind of democratic renaissance. Registration and turnout are expected to reach historic highs.
Pro-ac-tive (adj): Acting in advance to deal with an expected difficulty; anticipatory.
The horror story on today's front page about identity theft is an infomercial for the word "proactive."
There will always be those who take advantage of others, and it appears to be getting easier to do in this technologically advanced age we live in today.
That's why it's up to us to be proactive. It's a whole lot easier to take preventive steps rather than to take action after the fact.
Last month alone, 151,171 individuals across the nation filed for unemployment after being laid off from their jobs. And that number was down from June.
This is certainly not good news for recent college graduates, as many have already learned firsthand that good jobs are hard to find.
A story on today's front page illustrates the problem that just two recent graduates have faced: There are more people competing for fewer jobs.
As big a business as tourism has become in our community - $42.8 million in 2007 - it's important for us to put on a good show.
And the show at Green River Lake is a major reason for our success. Whether it's fishing, water sports, camping or simply relaxing with friends, there's literally something for everyone to enjoy at the lake.
First, one notices the increased traffic. Then it's the busy parking lots. Those are two of the more obvious clues that Campbellsville University has begun a new semester and students from all over have arrived to make Campbellsville their temporary home.
But there are other clues as well, some much less noticeable to the average person.
With a fall semester enrollment of 2,405, there will be extra people to spend money in our stores, buy our gas, eat our food and attend our activities.

Bicycling is an affordable, healthy,
and fun form of transportation for people of all ages.
There are many challenges to bicycling within Yuba
County due to the natural terrain, river crossing barriers,
and the current roadway system. The Yuba
County Bikeway Master Plan is intended to encourage
bicycling by identifying well connected bicycle routes that
provide safe and pleasant riding experiences for all users.
The Bikeway Master Plan is an update to
the 1995 Yuba-Sutter Bikeway Master Plan.
The previous plan emphasized the urban areas between Yuba
and Sutter Counties. The Yuba County
Bikeway Master Plan expands upon the urban areas and
includes potential bicycle routes in the rural, less
populated areas of the County. The
Bikeway Master Plan also identifies potential bicycle route
connections within the urbanized areas as well as
connections between the urban and rural areas.
The Bikeway Master Plan is intended to
be used as a planning guide in applying for future bicycle
projects. With the updated Bikeway Master
Plan, Yuba County will have additional sources of funding
that the County can apply for
bicycle projects.
Public Workshops were held in September
2011 and February 2012 to receive input from the public on
their concerns about bicycling within Yuba County.
A workshop was held on September 11, 2012
with the Board of Supervisors.
Comments from these workshops and from an online
survey are reflected in the Plan.
At it's meeting of January
22, 2013, the
Board of Supervisors voted to
adopt the Yuba County Bikeway Master

micaewww (3)Mediocre release from a band that could do so much more...
2nd review. Spent quite a while on it but constructive criticism is welcome
I'd fix the negative points you made considering they could easily be combined into one point. You could have 4 points instead of the 8 you have with the exact same thing you were saying.
yeah I just wanted to space the individual aspects out and it felt like 2 v 4 points wouldn't look like it justified a 2/5.
I'll have to make edits tomorrow cos I don't have access to a computer again until then
It's cool the review read pretty well anyway. I'll pos for you. I want to see you give a positive review for a band soon considering both your reviews are negative ones. However, for both bands you reviewed it only makes sense for them to be negative.
hopefully this will be the last review written for this album.
But at least they're will always better his screams
@andcas, When I was writing notes for this I wrote 'worst song ending ever' under that song. there're so many bad moments though it would be diluted if i'd included them all
@fearthyevil, I was actually gonna review japanese voyeurs' debut before this but since it was streamed early and it seems quite a popular choice I wanted to get in there fast
The title for this album is so gay it's hilarious
Album Rating: 1.5Review told me everything I need to know about this album. Awesome job AnarchistFish! POS'D!
Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound OffThere are a couple songs that I actually really enjoy on this but there are so many 'what the fuck' moments it's hard to really get into it.
Album Rating: 1.5pretty much exactly how i feel about the album... i felt like, even for just what they were trying to do, it was really poorly executed... tragic magic is the worst song I've heard in quite a while
Why the hell do people not hate Good Girls Bad Guys and Pick up the Phone worse than Tragic Magic? I mean those songs are just pure shit, at least Tragic Magic has some sort of catchiness...
Album Rating: 1.5new 3 Doors Sown was atrocious too. I mean, this at least made me laugh a little.
"Why the hell do people not hate Good Girls Bad Guys and Pick up the Phone worse than Tragic Magic?"
both those songsjust came and went for me, like they were bad, but so was the rest of it. Tragic Magic was special.
Album Rating: 1.5well now i look silly...
still true though.
Album Rating: 2.5better constructed review then mine. I agree with your points. pos'd.
The album would be a 2.5 if it weren't for the wtf moments.
Good Girls Bad Guys actually doesn't have a bad tune but the lyrics ruin it
Album Rating: 1.5The start of I'm Not a Vampire (especially when he starts singing) is so The Black Parade
I'm still going to give this a listen
well that is pretty much the only way to form your own opinion
So I've heard, good review by the way
I pos'd

Tulsa Tough and more...
I just tossed these photos in here. We have the first Tulsa Tough touring event going today, and I was invited over to Gary Parker's house which is atop the first big climb of the day. We clapped and cheered as the riders went by, aided ourselves by a tasty concoction of fruit juice and wine. It's kind of nice to be a little bit boozy in the morning!
The other shots are from a Teabagger event held here in Owasso later in the morning. They're protesting the city taking on $6.3 million in debt to build sewer and water lines out to an addition which is planned to have about 450 homes in the $200K and up range. The rally attracted the usual anti-tax crowd and it was held in a park built with, um, tax money. The participants arrived in cars and trucks that traveled over roads built with ... more tax money. And several speakers are political office holders who are paid via...well...tax money.
It made me a little bit nauseous.

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird,is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source for all bald eagles.
Eagles are a member of the Accipitridae family; which also includes hawks, kites, and old-world vultures. Scientists loosely divide eagles into four groups based on their physical characteristics and behavior. The bald eagle is a sea or fish eagle.
Color - Both male and female adult bald eagles have a blackish-brown back and breast; a white head, neck, and tail; yellow feet, legs and beak; and pale yellow eyes.
Immature bald eagles have a mixture of brown and white feathers, with a black beak and brown eyes in younger birds; some immature bald eagles have more mottling than others. Adult plumage develops when a bald eagle become sexually mature; it takes five years for a bald eagle to attain solid white head and tail feathers. For the first five years they gradually change; the beak turns from black to yellow, the eyes from brown to pale yellow, body feathers from mottled to dark brown, and head and tail feathers from mottled to solid white.
Some bald eagles have leucism, a genetic mutation that affects feather pigment. A leucistic bald eagle can have patches of white feathers on its body and wings; have overall faded or pale feathers; or have overall white feathers. Examples: patches of white feathers and pale feathers
The bald eagle is the only eagle confined to North America. There are no other large blackish-brown birds with a white head and tail in North American.
Skeleton - It weighs about half a pound (250 to 300 grams), and is only 5 or 6 percent of its total weight. The feathers weigh twice that much. Eagle bones are light, because they are hollow. The beak, talons, and feathers are made of keratin. eagle skeleton
Habitat - Bald eagles live along the coast and on major lakes and rivers where they feed mainly on fish.
Longevity (life expectancy) - It's possible for bald eagles in the wild to live longer than thirty years, but the average lifespan is fifteen to twenty years. A captive eagle at West Stephentown, NY lived to be at least 48 years old.
Heart rate - When we are checking our eagles at rest their heart rate is between 100-120 beats per minute. When we do their physical exams that rate jumps to 180-250 beats per minute. And when the birds are really stressed, like immediately after an exam involving beak coping & talon trimming it may go as high as 300 beats per minute. Keep in mind the heart rates at rest may be slightly lower for wild birds in better cardiovascular health and the high stress rates slightly higher in wild birds. (Heart rate information courtesy of Dr. Dan Hart.)
Status of the bald eagle - On June 28, 2007 the Department of Interior took the American bald eagle off the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened. Bald Eagle De-listing
Bald eagles will still be protected Under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
The US Fish & Wildlife Service Bald and Golden Eagle Post-De-listing Survey Results.
The number of nesting pairs in the lower 48 United States increased 10-fold, from less than 450 in the early 1960s, to more than 4,500 adult bald eagle nesting pairs in the 1990s. In the Southeast, for example, there were about 980 breeding pairs in 1993, up from about 400 in 1981. The largest concentrations were in the states of Florida and Louisiana. The most recent count of bald eagle nesting pairs in the lower 48 indicates MN, FL, and WI have the largest numbers.

text: In this final installment of a three-part series, Professor Richard Rumelt and McKinsey's Lowell Bryan reflect on the strategic opportunities emerging as value shifts within and between economic sectors. This conversation is one of three installments summarizing Lowell Bryan and Richard Rumelt's reflections on the implications of the financial crisis. This third part explores what it means for corporate strategy today. The first examines the broad managerial implications of the crisis, and the second focuses on the public-policy response. Rare is the time when the strategic environment for a great many companies and industries undergoes a rapid, fundamental, and universally perceptible change. UCLA's Richard Rumelt and McKinsey's Lowell Bryan argued in separate McKinsey Quarterly articles ("Strategy in a 'structural break'" and "Leading through uncertainty"), both published last December, that the financial crisis of 2008 was such a moment. Deleveraging, an expanding economic role for government, a reevaluation of imbalances in global trade and capital markets, and pervasive uncertainty, they suggested, were likely to upend business models and create unexpected opportunities. For Rumelt and Bryan alike, the ensuing months have confirmed the magnitude of the strategic change under way. In late April, they talked with the Quarterly's Allen Webb about the structural shifts to come in different economic sectors, the strong likelihood that the biggest opportunities will be surprisingly different from anything strategists expect today, and the resulting importance of building flexibility into a company's strategy. 00:00 Audio Setting strategy in the new era: A conversation with Lowell Bryan and Richard Rumelt The Quarterly: How would you characterize the strategic environment today? Richard Rumelt: The level of uncertainty is as high as I've seen in my lifetime. Is the government spending program going to work? Is quantitative easing going to work? Is the dollar going to collapse? Is world trade going to come back? Is the consumer going to come back? All these fundamental uncertainties mean that it's very hard to do strategy. Everybody who isn't in a death spiral would like to know how to take advantage of the downturn. But I don't really see that much strategic activity. I see people biding their time and husbanding their resources. There's a wise caution about jumping the gun. This high level of uncertainty means that you can really make a wrong move, and the end of easy credit means that you can no longer get cheap, easy money for a big leverage deal. So that kind of strategic move is more difficult. Lowell Bryan: Almost everybody went into the bunker for the last several months. But I see some signs that people are saying, "Maybe I need to go out and find some food and water." I'm seeing people really beginning to engage in uncertainty and scenario planning seriously, in a way that they weren't willing to do, say, six months or a year ago. What would it mean if globalization goes in reverse or if we have high inflation in two or three years—or if, in fact, this is not a temporary loss of high US consumption levels but a more permanent loss? People are now beginning to engage in asking those questions. How do they start getting prepared to be resilient and flexible no matter how this environment comes out? People are willing to think about changing their models and changing their strategy. Richard Rumelt: I agree with that. Companies are now beginning to ask deeper questions. It's a good bet, I think—a good 60, 70 percent chance—that consumers are going to hold onto their money because they are going to be worried about their health care, their savings, and their pension funds. If consumer spending doesn't come back for years, then what? That's strategic thinking at a simple level. At the second level is the change in sectoral balances. One of the things a structural break like this is signaling is that we need to do less A and more B. Most of economic development or economic growth or economic value comes from this constant churning of doing less A and more B, whatever it is. In China, for example, look at the enormous wealth they created by having people stop doing rice farming and start doing manufacturing. The puzzle for everyone is what's A and what's B? Here in the US, we have a reasonably clear idea of what A is. We probably have enough shopping malls for a while. And we probably have enough investment bankers for a while. And we certainly have enough houses in Orange County for a while. But what's B? What should we be doing instead? That's, of course, the brilliance of a decentralized economy—it does get figured out. But it doesn't just flash like a neon sign in everyone's face instantly. Lowell Bryan: Take an area like health care, which at first blush is less affected by the crisis than other industries might be. But then you actually look at it, and the payer–providers are undergoing incredible challenges because the value of the investments on their balance sheets is way down. The hospitals' other big issue is bad debt: large numbers of people without health insurance use emergency-room services, who are unable to pay their bills. Then you've got the entire health care system facing a massive, ongoing fiscal issue from an aging population and the way the US government's benefits programs work. So we know that there are bound to be wholesale changes in how we spend on health care, how value's created, how profits are made, who gets what share of what pie, and so forth, in this enormous sector. But no one quite knows how it's going to turn out, including the would-be architects in Washington. What I find interesting, coming out of this economic shock that Richard described, is that all the industry structures and rules and value chains and customer segments in industry after industry are in flux. And no one's yet figured out how you make money at it. That's the opportunity. Richard Rumelt: Lowell's exactly right. The structural shifts in the economy are where the real opportunity is here. Pinning them down and seeing the second-order effects—the second wave in each one of them—is the strategist's job. It's fairly easy to see the first wave. Everybody can see that the government's going to spend money on health care. And as Lowell points out, you just don't go out and buy a health care company. That isn't acting strategically. Because if you look ahead a bit, you can see that the health care system we have, if we extend it to a larger group in the population—to everybody, let's say—is going to bankrupt us. So something's going to give. The strategist is someone who has an idea about what's going to give or about reshaping it. That's how you're going to create value. You don't create value by jumping in on Day One. Remember when AT&T was deregulated and everybody could see that telecommunications and computers were going to converge? That was the big word of the day. AT&T got deregulated and it bought a computer company, and IBM bought a telecommunications company, and both of these two giants were going to battle it out. Well, that isn't what happened. That was the initial vision, and the initial vision was shattered by the birth of microcomputers and microprocessing and the Internet. In each of these industry transformations, whether it's airline deregulation or the rise of the microprocessor, what you see over and over again is that the initial sense of what's going to happen is wrong. The money is made in the second-order effect. The money is made on the rebound from that initial proposition. When microcomputers started to push into business firms, a company like Compaq said, "We need a sales network. We need a sales force." So they bought Digital. And then they got blindsided by Dell, which didn't have a sales force. You have to think through not just stage one but stage two. That's strategic thinking. And that's why I said in my previous article about strategy in a structural break—that times of structural change are the time when strategy comes to the forefront.1 1. See Richard Rumelt, "Strategy in a 'structural break,'" mckinseyquarterly.com, December, 2008. Lowell Bryan: One thing about this new environment that hasn't been found out yet is where the real opportunities to make money are. No one is smart enough to have figured out how this complex, adaptive economy is going to play out. What you can do is the kind of strategic thinking Richard was talking about and come up with a really good initiative that tries to find a way to make money. But you don't need just one initiative. You need eight or ten or more. You need a portfolio of initiatives. And you need to be continually pruning them, adding to them. You do less of A and more of B. It's not different than what venture capitalists or exploration and production people in oil have done for a long time. It really is a whole set of initiatives that help you discover, over time, new ways of making money. You need to start with doing the kind of analysis and strategic thinking that Richard was talking about. But that's just the start, because you learn so much by doing. So often, you wander through the woods and you come out in a direction you never had any intention of going to. To some extent, you're planning on being lucky. Fortune favors the prepared mind. I think that's what companies need to do—much more than saying, "I see the future, I'm a visionary, I'm going to make the future happen." In this environment, I think you've got be a little foolhardy to think you can see the future. Richard Rumelt: I fully agree with that. Someone in the introduction of their book wrote that if you don't have a clear vision of the future ten years hence, you're not managing. I couldn't disagree more. I think if you have a clear vision of the future ten years hence, you're a psychotic. Lowell Bryan: It's a hallucination, it's not a vision. Richard Rumelt: It's a hallucination, that's right. Good strategy is more like surfing a wave than having this clear vision of the future. You've got to find a wave of change. The way we make money in business, typically—if we're not sitting on a stable brand—is we find a wave of change that we can exploit. And we ride it with skill. It's not about having a lockstep plan. It's about figuring out which forces we can harness or ride to our benefit. The Quarterly: What other sectors strike you as intriguing candidates for structural shifts? Let's not focus on health care, which you've discussed, or on financial services and energy, which are already getting a lot of attention. Lowell Bryan: Those are three pretty big ones! But you may also get something in consumer electronics or high tech because of the change of consumer behavior. More than ever, people want more value for less cost. Another is obviously the whole residential- and commercial-construction industries. They're obviously deeply affected by the financial crisis. And if we're going to act seriously about trying to change carbon footprints, I don't see how we do that without massive new ways of doing things that are yet to be discovered. Because otherwise, it's going to be an economic disaster. Richard Rumelt: I would add that my guess is that the dollar's going to devalue, and that's going to have an impact on a whole lot of international operations. Lowell Bryan: It will basically cause reinvigoration of US exports. Richard Rumelt: We are going to be exporting things that we— Lowell Bryan: —We've been importing. It will affect offshoring. The Quarterly: What is the smartest thing that you've seen a corporate strategist do recently? Richard Rumelt: The single smartest move I've seen is a medium-sized, private firm that went out and purchased a small company that had 15 or 20 years of skill at government contracting. Because it was failing, they got it for a song. So now they have a staff of people that know how to administer government contracts—which they feel is going to be a scarce resource in the next year or two. Lowell Bryan: A lot of it, though, is not so much being smart as recognizing what's going on. I've seen people creating situation rooms, getting on top of business intelligence, consciously building flexibility into their plans, beginning to look for the right kind of opportunities—as Richard said earlier, doing more of what's working well and less of what's not working.

Without increasing the institutional budget, replace aging building infrastructures with energy efficient systems:
Reduce the University's carbon footprint:
Improve the learning/working environment:
Reduce facilities-related operating expenses:
Project still underway. Measures to date:
One challenge was ensuring support of administration, students, faculty, staff, and Board of Governors. Extensive and transparent communications occurred throughout the project via websites, town hall meetings, construction updates to building managers and university community, and news releases.
Because construction occurred even while classes were in session, a high degree of schedule coordination needed to occur between the university and contractors. Some temporary relocations of classes and offices were necessary, however classes continued uninterrupted.Older buildings presented unforeseen and hidden conditions, such as unexpected asbestos abatement, outdated building floor plans necessitating unplanned equipment re-designs.

I attempted the recipe once on Saturday. I made 3/5 of the recipe (with 3 egg whites). The eggs were left at room temperature overnight and I followed the recipe to my knowledge. But as I was piping the macaroons I knew they were not the right consistency because the meringue was spreading too much. So I ended up with a lot of flat delicious thin cookies, rather than macaroons. But they didnt sit out for too long, as lil LM and I stuffed them in our mouths, moments after they were taken out of the oven.
The second attempt was on Sunday. Once again I made 3/5 of the recipe, and didnt overfold the batter. The pipings were kind of thick, but still spread a bit. But once again the baked products was cake-like, kind of flat and crisp on the sides and chewy in the middle. I had to resign to the fact that this recipe was not going to work for me. But I decided that I will post this attempt anyways because I tried this out twice and nevertheless, the results were quite delicious!! I was really happy that my lil girl who doesnt like most of the stuff, loved these!
I sandwiched them with chocolate ganache and drizzled a bit of ganache on top to make these really awesome meringue cookies. They were really delicious, kind of chewy and really sweet!! I really doubt I will make this recipe again, but I definitely would try to make Tartelette's macaroons, as suggested by many of the DB members, sometime soon!! Thanks Ami for choosing these macaroons for the challenge, but unfortunately they didnt work for me.
The recipe didnt work for me, but the results were really delicious. The components that go into the recipe really works well together. I believe my meringue and macaroon making skills need a lot of polishing. Either my technique of folding the macaroons were wrong or my proportions in reducing the recipe was off. I bet that this recipe would give good results for experienced macaroon makers, but for a novice like me, it didnt yield good results. I would like to try a sure-bet recipe soon and feature that recipe on Tasty treats!!
The 2009 October Daring Bakers' challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming's The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
-Make Claudia Fleming's recipe for macaroons
-Fill and sandwich the macaroons
-Flavor variations and decoration
-If you have a nut allergy, find a good nutless meringue cookie recipe but you must make them into cookie sandwiches with some kind of filling
If you are vegan, I don't know what you can use as an egg substitute. Suggestions are welcome.
Preparation time: Not taking into account the amount of time it takes for you to bring your egg whites to room temperature, the whole baking process, including making the batter, piping and baking will probably take you about an hour to an hour and a half. How long it takes to make your filling is dependent on what you choose to make.
Actual baking time: 12 minutes total, plus a few minutes to get your oven from 200°F to 375°F.
Equipment required:
• Electric mixer, preferably a stand mixer with a whisk attachment
• Rubber spatula
• Baking sheets
• Parchment paper or nonstick liners
• Pastry bag (can be disposable)
• Plain half-inch pastry bag tip
• Sifter or sieve
• If you don't have a pastry bag and/or tips, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off
• Oven
• Cooling rack
• Thin-bladed spatula for removing the macaroons from the baking sheets
• Food processor or nut grinder, if grinding your own nuts (ouch!)
Confectioners' (Icing) sugar: 2 ¼ cups (225 g, 8 oz.)
Almond flour: 2 cups (190 g, 6.7 oz.)
Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons (25 g , .88 oz.)
Egg whites: 5 (Have at room temperature)
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Combine the confectioners' sugar and almond flour in a medium bowl. If grinding your own nuts, combine nuts and a cup of confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor and grind until nuts are very fine and powdery.
2. Beat the egg whites in the clean dry bowl of a stand mixer until they hold soft peaks. Slowly add the granulated sugar and beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
3. Sift a third of the almond flour mixture into the meringue and fold gently to combine. If you are planning on adding zest or other flavorings to the batter, now is the time. Sift in the remaining almond flour in two batches. Be gentle! Don't overfold, but fully incorporate your ingredients.
4. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain half-inch tip (Ateco #806). You can also use a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off. It's easiest to fill your bag if you stand it up in a tall glass and fold the top down before spooning in the batter.
5. Pipe one-inch-sized (2.5 cm) mounds of batter onto baking sheets lined with nonstick liners (or parchment paper).
6. Bake the macaroon for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and raise the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Once the oven is up to temperature, put the pans back in the oven and bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes, or lightly colored.
7. Cool on a rack before filling.
Yield: 10 dozen. Ami's note: My yield was much smaller than this. I produced about two dozen filled macaroons.
Thank you for visiting Tasty treats! Check out all my previous successful Daring Bakers Challenge here. Do check out the awesome french macaroons by other DBers here.

Mayor Don Wesely has proposed a Hometown Security Study for Lincoln. The study will examine the City's public safety services, including the Police and Fire Departments and 911 Center.
"One of the primary duties of City government is to provide for public safety," said Mayor Wesely. "Our preliminary work indicates that Lincoln has fallen behind in the number of police officers and firefighters we have on duty. We need to catch up."
Mayor Wesely compared this study with the current infrastructure finance study, which is looking at the City's needs in the areas of water, sewers, streets and parks. Wesely said the community must also reach agreement on the size of the growth gap in public safety, the options to deal with it, the best financial plan for the City to close the gap and the strategy the people of Lincoln support to address this issue.
Wesely said the community must recognize there is a cost to growth.
"To maintain our great quality of life in Lincoln, we must make strategic investments as we grow," said Wesely. "One area is in our public infrastructure, another is in public safety."
