Savannah Guthrie may be the high-profile co-host of NBC's New York institution the "Today" show, but she still doesn't consider herself a real New Yorker. "I have a best friend who grew up here, and she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the city, block by block. If you can do that, then you've earned the title of true New Yorker," says the 40-year-old, who grew up in Tucson, Ariz., and moved into a two-bedroom apartment in SoHo 18 months ago after a decade in Washington, DC. Since taking over her show's co-hosting spot from Ann Curry in July, Guthrie has grown increasingly enamored of her 'hood, mostly because after the hustle and bustle of Rockefeller Center, it's a relief to return to a homier nabe. This is her downtown.
1. Think Pink, 455 West Broadway, between Prince and Houston streets
"That's a neighborhood nail salon. It's not a super-fancy or chichi place, but the ladies are really nice. I should get a manicure more often. If you watch the show, you know I don't really do that. I get pedicures there. They're very nice to my toes, which, if I'm running a lot, are not that attractive. They have their work cut out for them."
2. Macbar, 54 Prince St., between Lafayette and Mulberry streets
"Another indulgence — it's not for when you're on a diet. One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese. I'm partial to the cheeseburger mac."
3. Piperlime, 121 Wooster St., at Prince Street
"I believe it started on the Web, accessories and different kind of fashions, and now they have a storefront. It's trendy. It's a fun place to shop. I bought two Rachel Zoe blouses there. I always buy things for work. I never have any clothes to go out in, because I always just buy for work. I don't know why. Habit."
4. Lure Fishbar, 142 Mercer St., at Prince Street
"The décor is as though you're inside a boat. It's downstairs, and the windows are high enough where you see people walking by on the street. They have a really great salad with cucumber. I also get a little tuna tartar dish they have. The other thing I've noticed is that they seem to constantly have an '80s soundtrack playing. It makes me laugh. You're sitting there with a glass of wine, eating your light supper, and listening to the Thompson Twins or Culture Club. How long has it been since most of us heard 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?' "
5. Locanda Verde, 377 Greenwich St., at North Moore Street
"It's Italian, and there's a courtyard garden area where it's really fun to sit outside with dinner or drinks. The courtyard is big — it seats, like, 60 people. But there are nice little corners where you can tuck yourself away. It feels cozy, kind of rustic. I've been drinking a lot of white wine there. If there's a Sancerre on the menu, I'll order it every time."
6. Hudson River Park
"If you're gonna eat all that ice cream, you better get some exercise. I try to run a few times a week, and I love the West Side Highway. In the summer, when it's hot, you get that breeze off the water, and if you take the route south toward Battery City, you see the Statue of Liberty. I have been known to put the 'Working Girl' song in my headset for motivation — that Carly Simon song, 'Let the River Run.' "
7. Emack & Bolio's Ice Cream, 73 W. Houston St., between West Broadway and Wooster Street
"They have flavors that are totally unique. They have a flavor called chocolate addiction — it's like chocolate and chocolate, plus chocolate. And there's a yogurt I get a lot: two scoops of grasshopper pie and Oreo chocolate chip. It's green and minty. I might go there two or three times a week — that's not good."

Wealth Inequality in America
The Wealth Inequality in America infographic video was posted on YouTube back in November 2012. The video is a good example of what the best infographic designs accomplish: Make the complex understandable.
Infographics on the distribution of wealth in America, highlighting both the inequality and the difference between our perception of inequality and the actual numbers. The reality is often not what we think it is.
The data visualization in the video is very powerful and effective. It takes the huge numbers that our brains have trouble processing, and visualizes them in a way that we can understand. Comparing numbers puts them into context for the viewer, and comparing the different fifths of the population works very well in this instance.
The data sources are clearly listed at the end of the video, and they are even made available as clickable links in the video description on YouTube (which is very helpful). This helps the credibility of the video tremendously. Not many viewers (4,336,254 views as of the day I post this) will click to the links to view the source data, but they're there. Transparency creates credibility.
However, it's not clear who created and is publishing the video, and this hurts the credibility a little bit, at least to a skeptic like me. The video was uploaded by the user politizane, whose account was created just to upload this video. No history of other videos, and no links to a company or website. The author/designer obviously has an agenda, and spent a lot of time or money creating the video. It would enhance the credibility even more if the viewer knew who was publishing and promoting the video.
Thanks to Doug for sending the link!

Sheridan's County Commissioners approved two grants totaling approximately $65,000 to facilitate cooperation with the Division of State Forestry for wildfire mitigation. This means both private and public entities near Story can get help in the form of tax dollars to clear properties that sit in the path of likely wildfires. County Commissioner, Bob Rolston.
The cooperative agreements with the Division of State Forestry entailed $40,500 for general wildfire mitigation, and an additional $25,000 specifically allocated for the Stumpy Ridge area.

Thanks for the quick reply Full duplex it is then, I guess! The price is about the same but my favorite shop only has the half-duplex version. But I can get the full-duplex ones elsewhere.If you are talking about the RS-485 chips you can use a pair of half duplex chips and just 'hardwire' the enable signal(s) one transceiver chip to receive mode for one cable pair and the other chip to transmit mode cable pair. So maybe four chips to support both ends? I haven't really checked out the chips you are considering but most operate the same.The amount of data being sent back and forth is not a whole lot. The PC sends a request which is at most 20 bytes and the Arduino replies to that, the replies' lengths depend on what kind of request was made and will be anywhere from 1 to maybe around 30 bytes.To eliminate the need for high-speed communication the Arduino does most of the processing. Basically the Arduino does most of the hard work and just sends an event log to the PC so it know's whats going on. A high estimate would be 100 bytes/sec from Arduino->PC and 200 bytes/sec from PC->Arduino (and much less if I move all the scoreboard code to the Arduino).So even 115kbps is way more than I need.Good, so if you do find you have any intermittent garbled data due to noise you could always try and reduce the speed to see if that eliminates the problem. At the refinery I worked at we used many many RS-485 links, many running over a thousand feet at 9600 baud mostly. However we run the twisted pair through hard electrical conduit and used high quality low capacitance cable with overall shielding. Anyway RS-485 is a very reliable method to route serial data over distances, that's what it was designed for.Lefty
Using 4 would work I guess I'm having a bit of trouble finding a local source for the low speed full duplex versions but the MAX3082E seems to do what I want so I just need 4 of them then.So if I'm getting this straight this is how I would hook this up:For the local TX to remote RX:Local side: DE to Vcc/+5V, DI to TX.Remote side: RE to Vcc/+5V, RO to RX.Local A to remote B, local B to remote A. And a resistor between A and B on both sides.A 0.1 uF condensor between Vcc and +5V, and GND to ground obviously.
Local A to remote B, local B to remote A
And a resistor between A and B on both sides.
C1 and C2 look suspicious.
RE is active low, on the right-hand chip it's pulled high.______Rob
On the remote end you really should ground pin 3, DE, to make sure it's transmit driver is forced off into tri-state mode.Lefty

First of all, this is not the stock internal N54 record. It is not anywhere near it.

Is it true this 9-inch rear end and 'big' tires have higher drivetrain losses than the stock setup? Sure. But what matters is what gets to the tires.
You would have to grant absurdly high drivetrain losses to inflate crank horsepower in order to claim the highest output. Well over the 15% loss classic Dynojet rule of thumb figure. Regardless, this is a pointless assertion to make as you can just keep increasing the loss percentage until you get your 'record' number.
It doesn't work that way Ghassan. No serious tuner would claim a record with invented math. Not only does he not specify the loss figure he is operating with, he does not specify what that figure is adding up to. In other words, a load of BS.
Furthermore, we already went over the whole Dynocom vs. Dynojet debacle. Prove the output on a Dynojet or it just shows you are fishing for numbers to try to impress people who do not know any better. At the very least actually start with posting a graph of your dyno run.

Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph will argue her ethics fines were a departure from previous cases as she tries to convince judges to overturn them.
Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph will argue her ethics fines were a departure from previous cases as she tries to convince judges to overturn them.
Randolph's attorney, Jerald Block of Thibodaux, said Randolph's appeal of her ethics case involving her renting her Grand Isle camp to BP following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill will likely be filed sometime this week or next in the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal in Baton Rouge.
Randolph has been ordered to pay a fine of $5,000 and repay $50,000 she received for the rental. The state Ethics Board ruled the rent violated state law because the parish was in-contract with the oil giant at the time.
Randolph applied for a rehearing. That application was denied, though the board reduced the original $10,000 fine by $5,000.
Now, Randolph will appeal to have the findings completely overturned, Block said.
"The Ethics Board has been in existence for decades. This case is an outlier. It is completely out of whack with what is done before in cases. There has never been that kind of draconian penalty on anyone," Block said.
A three-judge panel will review a transcript of the previous hearings along with written and oral arguments from Randolph's representatives and lawyers for the ethics administration before making a decision.
"The process can take anywhere from three to six months," Block said. "It could be longer and could be shorter depending on the (court's) backlog of cases."
Both sides have the opportunity to petition the Louisiana Supreme Court to hear their case after the Court of Appeal rules.
Block said he will use similar arguments from the rehearing application.
Block argued that Randolph's penalty as it stands will discourage people from entering public service.
"The purpose of the rules an regulations of ethics is to establish compliance, not to punish," Block said.
Randolph has argued that by the strictest interpretation of the law, she could not do business with anybody the parish has a contract with. That includes hundreds of residents who have simple drainage right-of-way agreements with the parish.
"I am concerned that the restrictions on this are so onerous that our hands are tied in any personal dealings," she said.
Randolph has also argued the contract with BP that caused the violation was more of a donation than contract.

- 1/2 - 3/4 of a bag of large noodle pasta like ziti
- approx. 1lb of ground beef
- 1 pkg/envelope of taco seasoning
- 1C water
- 1/2 pkg of cream cheese (about 4oz)
- 1 1/2C shredded cheese (I used marble)
1. boil pasta until just cooked, drain, run cold water over it
2. brown ground beef
3. mix together taco season and 1C of water, pour over cooked beef and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid has reduced
4. add the 1/2 pkg of cream cheese to the beef mixture, stir until melted and combined, remove from heat
5. put pasta in your casserole dish or pot, mix in 1C of the shredded cheese
6. top pasta and cheese with beef mixture, gently mix until the pasta is coated
7. top with remaining 1/2C of shredded cheese
8. bake at 350 uncovered for approx 30 minutes
Here's my original post with photos, let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy!
Step 1:
Boil pasta, don't over cook it as you will be baking it later. I like rigatoni and ziti for this recipe, but any big noodles will do.
Step 2:
While pasta is cooking, brown ground beef.
Step 3:
When ground beef is cooked through add taco seasoning mixed with 1C water and let simmer.
Step 4:
When ground beef is ready add approx. half a pkg of cream cheese and stir until melted and mixed in.
Step 5:
When pasta is ready drain and run cold water over it.
Step 6:
In a casserole dish add cooked pasta, stir in some shredded cheese, the ground beef mixture, top with more cheese, leave uncovered and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

I am a 24 year old female and my right hip has been sore for the past 2 1/2 months for no obvious reason. It started off being sore like I had slept on it wrong or fell on it or something. Now, almost 3 months later, it still feels sore. At night, it is very uncomfortable to sleep on that side. After sitting for long periods of time, after standing up, the first few steps I take hurts. The pain isnt unbearable at all, but at this point, it is VERY annoying and has got me worrying about what it could be. I had my gallbladder removed in Dec. due to gallstones and I am wondering if my hip pain could be possibly related to that? For the most part, it doesnt hurt ALL the time, but only when I rotate my body a certain way or step/walk in a certain way. My lower back also hurts - when I move my core a certain way, both my lower back and hip hurt. Every now and then I can feel an almost unnoticeable popping in my hip-area, but hardly noticeable. I have been doing research on the internet and am HORRIFIED that it could have arthritis or bone cancer or something of that sort. I am overweight, so I know anything is possible. I have a 2 year old daughter who is the world to me and am so afraid that something is VERY wrong and that I wont be able to care for her or live to see her children grow up. This has got me very concerned. I am going to see my Doctor in a few days, but I just cant stop thinking about it. Is it possible my back is out? Could that really cause my hip to hurt like this? Has anyone experienced something similiar? What can I expect my Doctor to ask or to do to diagnose me? PLEASE HELP!!Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Kim DotCom is one of the most visible Internet personalities, yet he remains out of reach of U.S. law enforcement. DotCom generated more than $175 million from MegaUpload, the cloud-storage service he founded and a company accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of being an illegal enterprise. The DOJ alleges DotCom and six others encouraged millions from across the globe to pirate movies, TV shows, and other media and then store their booty in MegaUpload's digital lockers.
In January, the United States began trying to extradite him from his home in New Zealand. Since then, DotCom's lawyers have mounted a vigorous legal defense. Just this week, the New Zealand police agency that spied on DotCom prior to his arrest was ordered to turn over records to him. Meanwhile, DotCom remains free on bail and he's sure to continue taking to social media to maintain his innocence, rebuke the DOJ, and poke fun at the case against him. As of early December, DotCom had amassed more than 162,000 followers.

Movie Review
No one would call Special Forces Sgt. John Tyree verbose. And the taciturn soldier is especially tongue-tied after meeting young and gentle Savannah Lynn Curtis on a South Carolina beach. Bumbling through his crush on the girl of his dreams, John asks her out. And over the brief course of his two-week leave, the couple falls in love.
When they must part ways—Savannah going back to college and John back to combat—they vow their affection and promise to write. Savannah makes him swear to "write everything."
For a year they both do, reinforcing their romance.
And if all went as planned in the world, after those 12 months they would have been married. But life throws complications—John's is known as Sept. 11, 2001. Feeling the call of duty trumping his personal preferences, an emotionally torn John reenlists in the Army.
Rather than pride, however, Savannah feels abandoned.
They send many more letters to each other. But gradually Savannah stops writing everything. And then she stops writing altogether. But not before she sends John an actual Dear John letter, telling him she's engaged to someone else. Wounded to the core, John must decide whether to despise her or to lovingly sacrifice for the woman who has meant so much to him.
[Note: The following sections contain spoilers.]
Positive Elements
Loving, patient and accommodating, Savannah is a magnet for her long-time friend Tim's autistic child, Alan. John encourages Savannah's dreams of working with children who have special needs. She returns the favor by caring for John's emotionally distant father. It is Savannah, in fact, who begins to bridge the long-standing relational gap between John and his dad. (The two men have little in common and can't easily express their love.) Savannah teaches John how to recognize his father's worth and caring heart despite his social and emotional limitations.
Tim, whose wife has left him, continues to tell Alan that the boy's mother is on "vacation." John, whose own mother left him as a child, gently confronts Tim, telling him that the truth will spare his son the heartache of always waiting for her to come home.
Though he could have utterly turned his back on Savannah when she ditches him, John refuses to be bitter. In fact, he goes far beyond the call of duty by anonymously and selflessly contributing a large amount of money to facilitate an experimental cancer treatment for Savannah's new husband.
A party guest thanks John for his military service. As does the movie in its own way.
Spiritual Content
A soldier swears to God. Unexpected money is called a godsend. Autistic people are said to be able to sense evil.
Sexual Content
For a woman who says she doesn't sleep around, Savannah is really sexual with John. In low-riding jeans and a revealing shirt, she throws herself onto him when the two meet at an airport. The two cuddle frequently, with Savannah in John's lap, or the couple wrestling or lying on top of each other, kissing and caressing.
And they do eventually have sex, too. As they undress each other we see his bare chest and her bra and panties. The camera zooms in on their torsos after the rest of her clothes come off. (Shadows and arms cover her breasts.)
Overseas, American soldiers joke about women in burkas wearing fishnet on their faces to look sexy. Men wear swimming trunks and women wear bikinis or short shorts. Posters in barracks reveal scantily clad women. John sees Savannah changing out of a wet shirt. (The camera shows her shoulders and upper chest.)
Violent Content
The film opens with a military combat flashback. John is shot twice in the shoulder by at least one sniper, who falls off a balcony after being shot by other soldiers. Television footage of 9/11 is shown.
John, who has a bruiser reputation, punches Tim and two other men, blackening Tim's eye and knocking the others down. Tim weakly and somewhat comically threatens John, saying that if he hurts Savannah, he'll have to break his leg.
While surfing, an emotionally distressed John allows himself to sink far under the water. It's difficult to tell whether he's contemplating life or pondering suicide.
John tells Savannah about a knife fight in which he got sliced above his eye. Savannah laughs that others shouldn't make fun of John, him being someone who could kill people with his bare hands.
Crude or Profane Language
A small handful of s-words. "Fricking" stands in for the f-word. God's name is abused two or three times. Once it's coupled with "d‑‑n." Jesus' name is misused about that same number of times. Other language includes a few uses each of "a‑‑," "b‑‑ch" and "h‑‑‑." Savannah says she has a constant stream of curse words running through her mind, though she never vocalizes them.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Wine and beer are served at barbecues or with dinner. John talks about having been very drunk once.
Other Negative Elements
One of the more frustrating elements of this film is Savannah's emotional deceit. Rather than owning up to her feelings of loneliness and doubt about their relationship, she leads John on, not even giving him the dignity of a phone call to end their romance—yet she selfishly and naively persists in believing that he will still love and accept her friendship.
Dear John is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, an author whose very name seems to invoke uncontrollable sniffling. And, indeed, women were crying all over the place as Dear John's credits rolled at the screening I attended.
All I felt was aggravation.
If these ladies shed tears for the loyal, generous, jilted-and-misunderstood John, it would be understandable. But their weeping seemed more likely to have been caused by the idea that "helpless" Savannah was an equal sufferer in the heartbreak. After all, she had to devastate John. In tears herself, she spoke of being all alone during his deployments. She didn't know what to do, she said, and she needed to feel needed! She said she "didn't have a choice" but to abandon John because there was another man who needed her. And he wouldn't leave in the name of duty.
At one point Savannah howls at John, saying her life without him has no meaning and has became a "marathon." That is, she all but says she had to cheat on him because he forced her to through his absence.
Poor heroine. And by that I mean poor, foolish, selfish, emotionally puny heroine.
But I must move on now.
Romantically, Dear John is an inadvertent cautionary tale about the dangers of making any human being the center of one's universe. Both John and Savannah are so engulfed by their love affair that little else seems to fulfill them. But as many a man and woman has discovered over the ages, no mere human can satisfy anyone's every emotional need.
Savannah does seem to grow up a bit by story's end. And maybe she even realizes that her decision to marry another man while John was serving his country was selfish and hurtful. Once she decides to marry, she sticks it out, even when her husband gets cancer. It's at this point that many girls would rapidly backtrack and go back to the younger and stronger John. She doesn't. And I can't say enough good things about John through all of this. He's selfless almost to a fault, and while I don't know how wise it is for him to leave his heart resting in Savannah's otherwise occupied hands, he certainly can't be faulted for sacrificing financially to help her husband.
Go ahead: Ponder the rightness or wrongness of Savannah's decision to write that Dear John letter. You already know how I feel about it. But be moved by John's willingness to forgive. The second chance he offers Savannah. The redemption he extends. And the picture (flawed though it may be at times) of God he creates—for we all have been unfaithful to our divine lover.
Is it possible for all of that to exist in a movie that's more Harlequin romance than serious exploration of love found and lost? Grudgingly I'll say maybe. For there were times as I wrote this that I would have rather just summed things up with: The stoic hero gets emotionally battered and the silly heroine never learns enough to deserve him—and yet, inexplicably, he takes her back.
A tissue, if you please.

Philip Kern
b. 7 Aug 1878, Germany

This is the family of Philip Kern and Augusta Marie "Gussie" Koehl, the sister of my husband's great-grandfather Henry "Harry" Koehl and the daughter of Julius Koehl and Josephine Lochner. I believe that Philip was the brother of John Kern, who married Augusta's sister Julia Koehl. Some time between 1920 and 1930 the family moved from Brooklyn, New York to Bergen County, New Jersey.
I would love to share information with anyone related to/researching this family; you can contact me at my e-mail address, which can be found by going to my profile page (there is a link to that page in the About Me section to the left).

Ohio Bar Examination
Bar Examination Laptop Program
The Ohio Board of Bar Examiners is permitting the use of laptop computers to answer the written (essay and MPT) portions of the July 2019 Ohio bar examination. Use of a laptop is optional. Applicants who choose to answer the written portion of the exam on a laptop must use their own laptop computers with ExamSoft's Examplify™ software technology. This technology provides a word processing function during the exam while blocking access to all other programs, files, and the Internet. Applicants will be required to connect to the Internet on Tuesday and Thursday following the exam to upload their exam answers. A nonrefundable $121 fee is required to register with ExamSoft for use of your laptop at the exam.
Laptop registration for the July 2019 exam opens on May 29, 2019 at 10 a.m. (EST) and closes on July 5, 2019 at 4 p.m. (EST).
Before you are qualified to sit for an exam, you must satisfy all of the pre-exam conditions required in Gov. Bar R. I (e.g., receive final character and fitness approval, file certifications that you received a J.D. and had instruction on substance abuse). You should not construe registration for use of your laptop as confirmation that you have satisfied these conditions and qualify to sit for the exam. Qualified applicants will receive confirmation of their eligibility to sit, along with their exam instructions, approximately two weeks before the exam.

After Bruce Lee died in 1973, a raft of Bruceploitation films hit cinemas. These low-budget movies often starred shameless imitators (like "Bruce Li" and "Bruce Lai") and were occasionally marketed to confused moviegoers expecting a heretofore undiscovered Bruce Lee film.
The weirdest Brucesploitation flicks weren't afraid to use the late superstar's name for dreck-level supernatural and science fiction flicks. Just behold 1977's The Dragon Lives Again.
In this Hong Kong action-comedy, the martial artist descends to the Underworld to help Popeye and Caine from Kung Fu prevent Dracula, the Exorcist, Emmanuelle, the Godfather, Clint Eastwood, and Zatoichi the Blind Swordman from taking over the afterlife. Check out the amazing clip above to see Popeye battle some underworld mummies.
And here are the opening credits, which feature this motley crew all at once. Big ups to Everything Is Terrible — who are screening this at Cinefamily in Los Angeles next Saturday — for reminding me this existed.
Let's move on to some more Brucesploitation offerings, such as 1981's The Clones of Bruce Lee. This science fiction trash opus featured the unstoppable trio of Bruce Le, Dragon Lee, and Bruce Lai, as well Bolo Yeung (the bad guy from Bloodsport, Enter the Dragon, and motherfucking Chinese Hercules). Here's the trailer, which lifts music from The Warriors (and is somewhat NSFW)...
...a scene showcasing the creation of the dreaded "Golden Fighters"...
...and the cloning process which resurrects the three Lees. "Your name is Bruce Lee 2!"
Finally, there's 1978's Bruce Lee Back From The Grave, which had almost nothing to do with the dead actor...
...but boasted one of the most balls-to-the-wall movie posters ever printed. It would be a disservice to the art to describe it any further.

- 1/4 cup whole milk yogurt
- One 1- to 2-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
- Kosher salt
- 1 whole chicken, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, halved
- Harissa, recipe follows
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded
- Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to coat the top of the harissa
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger, cumin, chile flakes and salt. Whisk until smooth and pour into a baking dish. Lay the chicken halves, skin-side up, in the yogurt mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours to marinate.
- Preheat a very clean grill to medium. When the grill is hot, brush with the oil.
- Remove the chicken from the yogurt, leaving any excess behind, and lay them out on the grill, skin-side down. Cook until the skin is brown and crispy, and then flip. You want to roast them, essentially, on the grill, and avoid "flaming" them or cooking them over too intense heat. That would dry them out. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers between 155 degrees F and 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board. Cut into small pieces or serve whole, family style. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Top with some of the Harissa and serve immediately.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and caraway seeds. Add the spices to a sheet tray and toast in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes; you should faintly detect the scent of the spices. Remove the tray from the oven and set aside to cool. Add the paprika and chile flakes to the spice mix.
- Using a mortar and pestle (or, alternatively, a food processor), grind the garlic cloves until they become a paste, and then add the red bell pepper. Season with salt, and then add the spices and the 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and blend well. When blended, transfer the harissa to a container and top with some additional olive oil. This will keep for 3 to 6 weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.

Weird Science Dance Party to Benefit SpectrUM
Even though I only took a handful of science courses in college, I have kind of turned into a closet science nerd in the years since I graduated.
These days, I often find myself tuning into the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel and the National Geographic Channel. Sometimes I wonder what might have happened if my curiosity about the scientific world had been sparked a bit earlier in life.
I mean, I always enjoyed science classes, but it always seemed like there was a lot of reading, worksheets and tests, and not a lot of cool videos and fun hands-on experiments.
The folks at The University of Montana's SpectrUM Discovery Center are trying to change that in schools across the state. They help bring awesome hands-on science learning opportunities to Montana students through a variety of outreach programs, summer camps, field trips and science clubs — all in an effort to get kids interested in science at an early age.
This Friday, SpectrUM will host its third annual Weird Science Dance Party from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Caras Park. This family-friendly event will feature an animal exhibit by Animal Wonders, WonderBrush face painting, demonstrations by G. Wiz the science guy, an appearance by Monte the UM mascot, live music by the Whizpops and much more.
Admission is free, but funds raised through food sales and a silent auction featuring local products and services will benefit SpectrUM's Science for All Scholarship Fund. Each year, the fund helps more than 800 Montana students experience the wonders of science through SpectrUM's programs.
So, if you're looking for something fun to do with your kids this Friday — or you just want to bring out the kid in yourself — head over to Caras Park and see what you can discover.
Brooke is a 2010 graduate of The University of Montana, where she ran track and cross country for the Grizzlies. She is currently working as a writer and editor in Missoula.

Last year I made some homemade bread, and Valentine's Day wax paper to wrap it in. When I saw this cute little idea for jarring up homemade butter here, I had to add it to my bag o' tricks.
I decided to whip up some butter my pal Jennifer taught me how to make. Basically, you sprinkle garlic salt into a light butter (it's softer, and by the time you add seasoning, I can't really tell the difference).
Depending on your love of seasoing, add 2+...+...+++ T to the butter and mix to your taste.
I used jars from other products I had saved, and cleaned out with baking soda to eliminate any odor.
Make it pretty, add bread, and spread the love.

Forget about all the belly putters, pendulum timing techniques and mental mumbo-jumbo that goes into the psychology of putting. Suzann Pettersen has a simpler way to go about it.
Just close your eyes and pray.
After posting a 2-under 69 to move to 5-under 137 for the tournament at the midway point, just two shots behind leader Ariya Jutanugarn, Pettersen revealed she's putted in competition off-and-on since 2007 with her eyes closed.
Unconventional? Sure, but it works for her.
"I feel very comfortable with it … what can I say? I feel freer when I close my eyes," Pettersen said. "Once I close my eyes, I just have to trust what I've seen and trust the feel and the speed and start praying."
Pettersen said she knew Nick Faldo, who won six majors on the PGA Tour, also putted with his eyes closed during competition. There are no special secrets to her eyes-shut putting stroke.
"I tell you, the hardest things are the really short ones," Pettersen said. "You just expect to go over and take the ball out of the hole. Well, for me, it's a very calming feel.
"It's automatic. It's not like you look, 'How hard do I have to hit it?' If you have a piece of paper, and you toss it at the bin, you don't think how hard. It's just a natural motion."
Inkster denied access
Sophie Gustafson tweeted Friday morning that Juli Inkster, a 30-year veteran of the Tour, was denied access to the locker room.
"Funniest thing I heard this morning? @JuliInkster not being allowed into the locker room. 'No badge, no entry,'" Gustafson tweeted.
Inkster, who finished at 4-under, said with a smile that she left her badge in the car and "I wasn't going to back to the car for it."
She finished Friday at 4-under, making the cut for the first time in four tournaments. A tie for 18th at the Founders Cup is her only top-40 finish this season.
She played in six events in 2012 because of surgery on her right elbow, including the September stop at Kingsmill where she missed the cut.
Inkster has had varying success in Hampton Roads tournaments. She has four top-15 finishes at Kingsmill. Inkster won the 1988 and '89 Crestar Classics, the first at Sleepy Hole in Suffolk, in a four-way playoff with Nancy Lopez, Betsy King and Rosie Jones. Her '89 win was at Greenbrier Country Club in Chesapeake.
"It's not a job," Inkster said of golf, then stopped. "It's a job and I work hard at it, but I just play because I like to play."
Sushi in Richmond hit with Schreefel
Dewi Claire Schreefel says in her LPGA Tour Player Guide bio that her favorite meal is sushi from Umi Sushi in Richmond. She was introduced to it in 2009 by her host family when she made a stop in the state capital on the Symetra Tour.
"They have unbelievable sushi there, it's really fresh and the host just kind of splurges, he gets really good tuna," said Schreefel. "I love sushi and it's the best sushi I've had."
She made a point to visit on her way to Williamsburg for the week.
Biggest turnaround
Giulia Sergas (74-68) and Brittany Lincicome (75-69) were six shots better Friday than Thursday. Lincicome began the day tied for 123rd and finished tied for 51st. Sergas went from tied for 107th to tied for 28th.
Conversely, Schreefel (67-78) fell from a third-place tie to a tie for 62nd.
Doughtie misses cut
Suffolk's Lauren Doughtie, a rookie on the LPGA Tour, missed the cut for the fifth time this season. Doughtie, a graduate of Nansemond-Suffolk Academy and N.C. State, shot rounds of 77 and 74 at the River Course. She eagled the par-5 seventh hole Thursday, but had 11 bogeys and a double bogey over her two rounds.
Some notable names missing the cut include Michelle Wie (4-over), Christina Kim (14-over), 2004 Kingsmill champion Se Ri Pak (4-over) and Morgan Pressel (8-over).
Kim tweeted Friday: "Apparently going for a top five finish was in my cards. Just from the bottom going up. Stupid, stupid, stupid."
The cut
The 3-over-par cut line was four shots higher than the 1-under from September's tournament at Kingsmill. That was due primarily to a significant spike in scores Friday, when the wind swirled and the temperature dropped.
Friday's average score of 73.67 was 1.94 shots higher than Friday's 71.73. The biggest change was at the par-4 18th.
Thursday No. 18 was the seventh-toughest hole with an average score of 4.118. Friday it was the hardest, yielding just six birdies from 142 players, with an average score of 4.528.

2010: Pathways to Resilience II
Pathways to Resilience II: The Social Ecology of Resilience
RRC International Partners at the 2010
Pathways to Resilience II: The Social Ecology of Resilience, was held in Halifax, NS, on June 7th through 10th, 2010. With speakers and delegates from all over the world, the conference was a resounding success and an inspiration to all of us that attended. You can download the full conference program, and select conference papers and Powerpoint presentations are also available for download.
Conference highlights included keynote speaker Sir Michael Rutter, who spoke of causal pathways and social ecology as they relate to resilience, and featured speaker Jo Boyden, who is the director of the Young Lives Research Centre at Oxford University. A special appearance was made by local b–boy group Concrete Roots, who opened for the Polling for Justice Project, NYC. Polling for Justice presented young people's desires, dreams, frustrations, and experiences to a captivated audience. The conference wrapped up with a gala dinner at Pier 21, where Jude Simpson presented her personal story of resilience to conference delegates.

In 1963, Aerojet General was given a $3 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to build a manufacturing and testing site for rockets that would send astronauts to the moon.
The plant was constructed in the center of Florida's Everglades in the town of Homestead.
Beneath a large metal shed, a 150-foot deep silo housed the largest solid-fuel rocket motor ever built. The rocket was tested three times between 1965 and 1967.
Then NASA dropped the project. The agency decided to go with liquid-fuel rocket engines instead. The plant was closed in 1969, leaving the rocket behind.
Photographer Naaman Fletcher, who blogs at What's Left of Birmingham, visited the abandoned facility in April 2010.
Here's what remains.

BlackRock Chief Equity Strategist Bob Doll says this year is all about left tail risk. If everything goes well in Europe and the Middle East, we could hit S&P 1550 by year end, he tells Bloomberg Television.
Full transcript below:
Bob Doll's predictions for the stock market:
"This isn't a year about economic growth or earnings, it's all about the probability of the left tail risk. How afraid are people? When the stock market yields the same as a ten-year Treasury, people are invested in a very afraid manner. My view is that this year is when fear dissipates some, the crisis premium comes out, the risk premium comes out and that means interest rates move up, spreads narrow and equity valuations move up."
"Our target coming into the year was S&P 1350 plus because our prediction was a double-digit gain in stocks. If Europe stays in the background and behaves itself, we could see a whole lot of the plus and this could be a great year for equities."
"We're not changing our target. We could see 1550, and our target will still be accurate. It's all about Europe, if that left tail risk dissipates. At S&P 1550 stocks would still not be expensive…If Europe continues to heal and the Middle East doesn't blow up, 1550 is do-able."
On why market volume is so low:
"There's still a lot of cash on the sidelines waiting to come in….I'm being a bit extreme, but I think stocks are the place to be. At some point we'll get a pullback, we'll get a sloppy period as things will go sideways, you've seen the mini-corrections and they last about one day and half because there's some many people are waiting for a pullback."On what equities to invest in:
"I still think having a cyclical orientation - meaning you want to own technology, some energy, but I'm not afraid to buy some healthcare either to get some defense in the portfolio. What you really want is companies with good free cash flow."
On bank stocks:
"We have more [bank] banks than we did six months ago, but still not a big weighting there. While they've done well, I'm still concerned about where the revenue growth is coming from, what's the regulatory environment means. [The stress tests] were certainly a positive step in the right direction, but stress tests are all about credit…For earnings to grow, it's not going to be about less bad news, but where's the revenue growth?"
On interest rates impact on stocks:
"For me, it's about the pace of increase rather than the level. If we go up 10 basis points per day, as we did early this week, I'm going to get scared fast, but if it's slow but steady as I'm expecting, not a problem at all. Stocks are still cheap relative to bonds."
"In a zero interest rate environment, at the short-end, 2 percent for a 10-year Treasury and very little inflation, 14 times growth for the S&P is cheap."
"We're up 30% since the low of October 1 st - for six months, that seems pretty quick for me. I think some people are just praying for a pull-back so they can put some money in."
On QE3:
"I don't think we're going to get QE3 if the U.S. economy is growing anywhere close to 3% and unemployment is falling. That's hardly the condition for an emergency, and QE3 is for emergencies. We don't have one, so I think it's on the back burner… The Fed's been a little bit more forward about that and markets have hung in there. For the bears among you, we're appreciating at a slower rate. We're a little overbought. We'll get a correction, but a correction could just be time without much change in price."

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Manage key vaults with Ruby
This sample demonstrates how to manage key vaults in Azure using the Ruby SDK.
On this page
Run this sample
If you don't already have it, install Ruby and the Ruby DevKit.
If you don't have bundler, install it.
gem install bundler
Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/key-vault-ruby-manage-vaults.git
Install the dependencies using bundle.
cd key-vault-ruby-manage-vaults bundle install
Create an Azure service principal either through Azure CLI, PowerShell or the portal.
Set the following environment variables using the information from the service principle that you created.
export AZURE_TENANT_ID={your tenant id} export AZURE_CLIENT_ID={your client id} export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={your client secret} export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID={your subscription id}
[AZURE.NOTE] On Windows, use
setinstead of
Run the sample.
bundle exec ruby example.rb
What is example.rb doing?
This sample starts by setting up ResourceManagementClient and KeyVaultManagementClient objects using your subscription and credentials.
# Create the Resource Manager Client with an Application (service principal) token provider
subscription_id = ENV['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID'] || '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111' # your Azure Subscription Id
provider = MsRestAzure::ApplicationTokenProvider.new(
credentials = MsRest::TokenCredentials.new(provider)
# resource client
resource_client = Azure::ARM::Resources::ResourceManagementClient.new(credentials)
resource_client.subscription_id = subscription_id
# key vault client
keyvault_client = Azure::ARM::KeyVault::KeyVaultManagementClient.new(credentials)
keyvault_client.subscription_id = subscription_id
It registers the subscription for the "Microsoft.Media" namespace and creates a resource group and a storage account where the media services will be managed.
# Register subscription for 'Microsoft.Media' namespace
provider = resource_client.providers.register('Microsoft.Media')
# Create a resource group
resource_group_params = Azure::ARM::Resources::Models::ResourceGroup.new.tap do |rg|
rg.location = REGION
resource_group = resource_client.resource_groups.create_or_update(RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, resource_group_params)
There are a couple of supporting functions (
print_item and
print_properties) that print a resource group and it's properties.
With that set up, the sample lists all resource groups for your subscription, it performs these operations.
Create a key vault
vault_param = Azure::ARM::KeyVault::Models::VaultCreateOrUpdateParameters.new
vault_param.location = REGION
vault_param.properties = Azure::ARM::KeyVault::Models::VaultProperties.new.tap do |vault_prop|

After a Peabody woman was nearly swindled out of $2,000 by someone falsely claiming she won a prize, the Better Business Bureau of Kansas offered several warning signs that a "prize" might be a scam.
Roberta Namee, director of media and investigations for the Better Business Bureau, said legitimate sweepstakes companies don't call out of the blue, and they never require payment to give someone a prize they've won.
"You shouldn't have to pay before getting your winnings," Namee said. "That's a big red flag."
Another warning sign is if the person calling is insistent on taking care of the matter immediately.
"Tell them you want to think about it, and hang up," Namee said. "Try not to get wrapped up in a conversation with them."

Hovis flour
My brother and SIL came to lunch to day, they live about 50 miles away.
Where they live is an shop that sells lots of English stuff.
So they brought me down a 1 Kg bag of Hovis flour, and some Thorntons toffees.
Now I can use my Hovis tins for the a couple of proper Hovis loaves.
I think maybe I will dilute the flour with a little
white flour,

Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine with Lissa Rankin, MD
Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine with Lissa Rankin, MD Previous Broadcasts
KQED 9: Sat, Apr 18, 2015 -- 6:00 AM
This special is based on the 2013 New York Times bestselling book, Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof that Your Can Heal Yourself by Lissa Rankin, MD. It is a meticulously researched explanation of the critical role our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs play in our health and wellbeing - and how we can harness the power of our minds to enjoy great health and longevity with specific, easy-to-do steps.
Part 1 covers topics such as why Western medicine is very important; your brain is most important organ for your health; "Learned helplessness"; and asking what does your body need in order to heal?
Part 2 includes an explanation of the placebo effect with examples; explanation of the nocebo effect and of the role the amygdala plays in the brain and how it controls stress; understanding how the body has its own self-repair mechanisms, which are under the influence of the nervous system; and why the body's self-repair mechanisms only work when the relaxation response is activated.
Part 3 covers the importance of reducing stress response for self-healing and optimal health; Dr. Rankin's groundbreaking new wellness model: The Whole Health Cairn; why physical health is only one aspect of whole health; the difference between being healed and being cured; and healing ourselves, healing health care.
Dr. Rankin is a trained ob-gyn who has emerged as one of the newest thought leaders in the mind/body medicine arena. Her work has been featured extensively in national media, including O magazine, The New York Times, CNN, Health, Women's Health, Self, Forbes, The Chicago Tribune, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan. She is also the founder of The Whole Health Medicine Institute, dedicated to teaching doctors how to provide truly integrative health and wellness to patients. Its Board includes Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Larry Dossey and Dr. Christiane Northrup, who says about Lissa, "What a pleasure it is to see the next generation of physicians waking up to what I call real medicine - the kind that acknowledges our true power to heal and be well."

The thermodynamic properties of the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, and buoyancy, and dynamic properties such as momentum, energy, and vorticity, are governed by numerous hydrodynamic processes. These include:
- Turbulent processes, such as diffusion and mixing
- Internal waves and internal ties, wave-wave interactions
- Boundary-layer processes, such as friction and topographic drag
- Buoyancy forcing, heating, and cooling by the atmosphere
- Convection, double diffusion, and hydrostatic instability
Mixing, Measurement, and Modeling is concerned with small-scale physical processes occurring within the interior of the ocean. These processes include waves, turbulence, diffusion, and convection. All are involved in ocean mixing.
Studies are specifically aimed at understanding the influence of these small-scale physical phenomena on the larger-scale ocean circulation. These studies generally focus on energy exchanges between different classes of fluid motion. This includes the transfer of tidal energy that occurs when large-scale tidal flows interact with the topography of the seafloor to produce waves. These investigations are based on the analysis of oceanographic data, including direct measurements of turbulence made during sea-going field programs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb baseball team took time out of preparing for exams this week for a pair of service projects in the "Music City". The Bisons hosted their annual Christmas party for Front Porch Ministry on Monday night and made a visit to the Longview Mansion on Thursday morning for a community service project.
Prior to Monday night's Christmas Party at the Shamblin Theater on Lipscomb's campus, the team took a number of kids from the Front Porch Ministry and took them Christmas shopping for their mothers. The players donated the gifts for the kids and then helped them wrap the presents before they were presented later in the evening during the party.
"This is the second year we've done a Christmas party for those kids," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "I think we're able to help some families out at Christmas time. The opportunity our guys get to work with some of those kids that are less fortunate than they are is great. I love watching our kids bond with those young ones in anything and it's not about just what we can do for them but what they do for us too."
Thursday's event saw the team make the short trip off campus to the Longview Mansion on Caldwell Lane. The team was scheduled to clear some brush near the front of the property but the recent rain forced that project to be postponed. Instead, the team fanned out all across Oak Hill and dropped off flyers promoting Longview's open house on Saturday night.
"Anytime we have the opportunity to help somebody out is something we've been talking about all year long," said Forehand. "We want to think of others before ourselves. This project turned into something that was probably more beneficial to us than it was for the people that we helped. Any time when our team can come together off the field to help somebody else is always important."
The Bisons open the 2012 season Feb. 17 against St. Louis University at Dugan Field. For season ticket information call (615) 966-5456.

From the Running series
Website – TabithaSoren.com
Tabitha Soren was born into a military family and grew up all over the world. Snapshots were one of the few ways she had to remember the details that made up her life in the last town or base — so she took them incessantly and spent many afternoons cataloguing them. She headed to New York for college where she received a BA in Journalism and Politics at New York University. After a career in television news shooting 30 frames a second, Soren decided she wanted to concentrate on one frame at a time and spent a year studying photography at Stanford University. Over the past ten years, her projects have been published in The New York Times Magazine, Canteen, Vanity Fair and New York, among others. Soren's work speaks to the twists of fate in life that can unhinge us. Her pictures address what havoc human beings can survive — and what they can't. Public collections include the Oakland Museum of Art, in California, the New Orleans Museum of Art as well as the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, both in Louisiana. Her Running series debuted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Indianapolis this summer.

About 3,500 Connecticut residents have enrolled in health insurance through the state's health care exchange, Access Health CT, since the official open enrollment deadline passed on March 31. That's in addition to the nearly 200,000 who enrolled by the health care deadline.
Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan said roughly 10,000 people in the state who wanted to enroll but couldn't complete the process by deadline for some reason. Those people were told to leave their contact information, and the state would follow up with them to make sure their enrollment was completed.
The state is now trying to reach all the stragglers, and Counihan said they're gradually making progress.
"We're pretty confident that there are going to be over 200,000 (residents enrolled) by the time it's all done," Counihan said during a Thursday conference call with the nonprofit health advocacy group Families USA. Counihan was one of several state exchange leaders on the call, which functioned as a post-mortem on the health insurance exchange open enrollment period.
The exchanges were a cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act, the sweeping health-reform legislation also known as Obamacare. About 7.5 million applied for coverage through exchanges nationwide.
Families USA executive director Ron Pollack said that considering this is a vast, new program, enrollment went relatively well. Still, he asked the exchange directors to share their experiences.
"I certainly would be interested in hearing what were the most surprising lessons they learned," Pollack said.
Though Connecticut had one of the more smoothly functioning systems, Counihan said he hopes to tweak a few things by next year.
"I think what has been the most surprising for us is that physician office and staff were among the least knowledgeable" about the enrollment process, he said. Counihan said he hopes to offer more education on the process by the time the next open enrollment period starts in November.
The state is designing a research vehicle to help calculate the effect the exchange had on lowering the number of the Connecticut's uninsured. Counihan has repeatedly said he's not sure how many people who signed for coverage through Access Health were previously uninsured.
Customers to the state marketplace could either buy insurance through one of three private carriers on the exchange, or get covered through Medicaid. The majority of those covered through the exchange -- more than 120,000 -- were covered under Medicaid.
Those who remained uninsured after the March 31 deadline were to face a penalty of either 1 percent of the family's gross household income or $95 per uninsured individual, whichever amount is greater.
However, many state exchanges -- and the embattled federal site HealthCare.gov -- allowed people some extra time to finish enrolling, provided they had made a good-faith effort to sign up by deadline. In Connecticut, many users experienced delays on the Access Health site on the final days of enrollment, due to too many people trying to sign up at once.Read Full Article

Just thought that I'd mention to everyone here that I pass right by Disneyland every few weeks (to see my family), and I can pick anybody up some of the Star Tours figures at cost ($10) plus shipping. I can even look for the nicest MOMC one's if you're into that kinda thing. Give me a hollar if you're still looking for any of these (the first 6), and hopefully I can help you out!I'm really starting to wonder about that third wave though, with absolutely NO overseas or eBay sitings to date. Hopefully they're still on the way. If not, Hasbro better stick a beautifully resculpted R5-D4 on one of those new Saga cards, or else...!On a side note, my wife and I went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago, and it was fun to go through the Star Tours line and see all the droids there that I now have as figures. I hadn't even noticed a few of them before!
I got the first 2 waves of Star Tours figures through Disney Direct. A word of caution to the MOMC crowd...their shipping quality is terrible!
