1. Do the review in ten days and win $30Now somebunnies will argue that the publishers are going broke as it is, but think, they could surely offer discounts on the next set of publication charges, Even better they could offer transferable certificates that could be traded for such things as pizzas and maybe even lab supplies. A chocolate bar or even a carrot in the mail would go far with Eli.
2, Do the review in twenty days and win $15

The film fiend stalking the streets of Austin has many questions. How does an episode of Saturday Night Live come together? How can I blast off into space? Was Thomas Wolfe right when he said you can't go home again? What does Lemmy's carpet smell like? Unlike anybody outside Austin City Limits from March 12 to March 20, the fiend has the answers within reach. They're among the topics tackled head-on a series of features and documentaries getting their premiere at the SXSW Film Festival this year.
Read our SXSW Film Festival: Headliners preview here.
Read our SXSW Film Festival: Spotlight Premieres, Part 1 preview here.
At long last, this adaptation of Walt Whitman's … [please read the IMDB synopses you're meant to be ripping off first – Ed.] Oh. Ed Norton follows in the footsteps of Jeremy Irons, Christian Bale and Nicholas Cage, playing identical twins in a thriller written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson (O). Keri Russell and Melanie Lynskey are the lovelies who we hope get into the bed with the right Ed.
The Pennsylvania town inspired the Sherlock Holmes mystery "The Red-headed League" and is the home of some legendary bologna. But it takes a funeral to lure big city ad executive Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town) back to his hometown. There he bonds with his teenage cousin and has the plastic scales lifted from his bourgeois eyes in writer-director Ben Hickernell's film. With Mary Beth Hurt.

Carefully cut the square cake in half and trim the edges so that you see the texture of the cake on all sides. Roll out each piece of marzipan on a surface dusted with icing sugar until the size of the top of each cake.
Generously brush the top of the cakes with jam, place jam-side down on top of the marzipan, then trim away the excess marzipan with a sharp knife.
Make up the fondant icing to a spreading consistency, then spread on top of the cakes so that it slightly runs over the edges. Top with cherries and holly, then leave to set. Will keep in a plastic container in a cool place for 4-7 days.

The Glendale Police Department has now issued a bulletin seeking clues in its search for Megan DiPiazza, 33, missing since last Sunday. Here's what the flier says:
The Glendale Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating Megan Sue Dipiazza. She was last seen on the evening of November 11, 2012. A note was discovered "saying goodbye to her family." Megan has a history of depression.
There is no indication of foul play. No suspicious activity has been identified. The Police Department would like to speak with Megan Dipiazza. The family is concerned for her welfare and has been working closely with the Police Department.
Last week a police spokesman said he believed DiPiazza was in the company of "people". On Monday a second spokesman recanted that statement. Meanwhile, DiPiazza's friends continue to search for her or her car, a "2013 Gray Toyota Scion." The car has license plates of 6XJR885, but those plates may not be attached, according to Glendale PD.

Review: Homage to Hitchcock
Of all the characters Alfred Hitchcock created, perhaps the greatest is his own. It's easy to conjure up an image of the rotund director since he made a point of inserting himself — or at least his distinctive silhouette — in his work, as if to make sure we never forget that he's the one pulling the strings of suspense. But what do we really know about good old Hitch as a man?
Director Sacha Gervasi ("Anvil: The Story of Anvil") takes a stab at answering that question with "Hitchcock," a playful excursion into the making of the 1960 horror masterpiece "Psycho," which took the bold step of presenting violence as entertainment to prim American audiences. With a script by John McLaughlin ("Black Swan") based on Stephen Rebello's nonfiction page-turner "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," Gervasi pays tribute to Hitchcock's groundbreaking style and penchant for sly humor with a parade of allusions to his work using camera angles, editing, music and an enjoyable incarnation of the man himself (Anthony Hopkins). It's a hoot, as long as your expectations end there.
We meet Hitchcock in a most familiar way, with the jowly director speaking directly to camera, welcoming us to yet another world he's created for our enjoyment. In this case, it's a little more personal — his near manic obsession with making a film based on real-life serial killer Ed Gein, whose horrific crimes were chronicled in Robert Bloch's novel.
Coming off the hit "North by Northwest," Hitchcock is besieged by journalists asking if the 60-year-old should quit while he's ahead. But Hitchcock insists, despite doubts from his agent (Michael Stuhlbarg), studio boss (Richard Portnow) and even his wife, Alma Reville (Helen Mirren), that this grim tale will be his next successful project. When the studio turns him down, he convinces Alma that they should finance it themselves, risking their home and all that they've worked for together.
A talent in her own right, Alma is Hitchcock's closest collaborator, editor and critic. She's also his most faithful supporter, willing to risk everything so he can make a film that nobody thinks stands a chance. But the heavy-drinking, overeating Hitch is hardly the ideal husband, especially now that he's fallen into an obsession with the film and its star, Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson), yet another fixation in the director's career-long pattern of blond actress adulation, followed by bitter recrimination. The evidence is apparent in Hitchcock's vindictive casting of his former favorite, Vera Miles (a reliably bland Jessica Biel), in a lowly supporting role.
These childish crushes aren't new to Alma, but with so much at stake, and her own ambitions so often squelched by her husband's, she begins a flirtatious collaboration with a younger, attractive writer (Danny Huston). Her withdrawal only makes Hitchcock, who's already plagued by imagined, overwrought conversations with the murderous Gein (Michael Wincott), further unhinged.
"Hitchcock" marks the first time Hopkins and Mirren have appeared together on-screen, and it's as fun to watch as you'd imagine. With Hopkins disappearing into a fat suit and relatively natural-looking facial prosthetics, and Mirren styled in elegant period fashion, the two play off each other with verve.
It's just too bad that their marriage — the primary focus of the film — is the least interesting part of the package, and certainly not what the film's title implies (yet again, Alma is subsumed by her larger-than-life husband). Instead of an exploration of how Hitch's obsession informed his envisioning of the film, McLaughlin's script uses the making of "Psycho" as a framework of the couple's story, along with repeated and dubious assertions that Hitchcock was at least a little bit psycho himself.
Yet Hitchcock would probably be pleased by Gervasi's positioning of "Psycho" as the film that gave mainstream American audiences the taste for blood. It might be lightweight and a bit off topic, but "Hitchcock" is a fun frolic into film lore.

I had a chance to try out the sandwich at MonsterBite recently. Monster Bite is a little kiosk located next to entrance of Cold Storage at Jaya One. The kiosk is decorated with all sorts of cartoons presumably their mascot which attracted passerby to take a second look.
MonsterBites prides itself for serving healthy food which are equally delicious. True to its claim, I found their Monster Classico with Turkey Ham (RM 8.80) lived up to its reputation.
Honestly, I am not a big fan of sandwich but the Monster Classico got me hooked! The ingredients were fresh and appetizing. The sandwich reminds me of the goodness of a home made sandwich with plenty of yummy-ness inside.
If I want to go for a sandwich next time, I will definitely give MonsterBite a go.

Gardner meetup a highlight for Yanks campers
On Friday afternoon, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner sat at a table during a news conference and looked out toward 206 enthused Yankees summer campers. With eyes glued to one of their favorite players, nearly everyone eagerly raised their hands hoping to ask him a question. Over the past week, they had learned and practiced baseball skills and drills, but now it was finally their turn to speak to a Major Leaguer who started out just like they have.
That opportunity is made available from late June to late August, when Little Leaguers ages 5-13 get the chance to participate in a one- to two-week Yankees summer camp session offering valuable baseball instruction held in various locations around New Jersey and New York.
Each week culminates with an exclamation point, a chance for campers, already donned in Yankee uniforms, to tour Yankee Stadium, try on some World Series rings in front of the Commissioner's Trophy earned in 2009, take a stroll through Monument Park and ultimately meet a current Yankee.
"It's fun for me," said Gardner. "I have two young boys, 3 and 5 years old. Maybe the next two years I'll send them to one of the summer camps. I know that the kids have fun. The highlight of the week is to come here and get to visit the Stadium, and obviously having a current player today, it was me coming in to meet them, take pictures and ask questions to get to know them a little bit. It's a lot of fun."
The camps provide a wealth of baseball knowledge, and the staff is comprised of professionally trained coaches and counselors catering their expertise to different age groups. Baseball activity is the primary part of the camp, but the field trip to the Stadium also offers other information, like how to stay healthy.
One of the stations around the ballpark tour focuses on nutrition, specifically how to refuel and what to drink after a long day of practice. Each week, Natalie Rizzo, a nutritionist and volunteer for the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, provides a brief information session, promoting chocolate milk as a smarter and energy-boosting alternative to soda or sports drinks.
"The whole message of chocolate milk is to refuel," said Rizzo. "It's good for you afterward because it will give you that energy back with the protein and the carbs, and it's natural; it's not a protein shake. Kids do a million different things. They swim, they go outside and play with their friends -- but they don't realize that they're using energy to do that."
Energy was not a problem on Friday, however, even after campers had walked a lap around the Stadium, which included stops in the dugout and a look inside the Yankees Museum. When it came time for interrogating Gardner, the kids were very practical. Questions ranged from tips for running fast to how to hit home runs to what kind of car he drives (a truck). The day ended with pictures and an autographed photo for campers to take home.
"It's always fun to get some of the far-out questions, crazy questions," Gardner said. "[I] always enjoy hearing what they have to say.
"When I was 5-15 years old, I didn't have the opportunity to go to a place like this, obviously, growing up in South Carolina. So these kids, they don't realize how fortunate they are to be able to have parents and friends and family that are able to send them to camp like this."

by Jarrod Horak
Earlier this week, I ventured to Lexington, Kentucky with Candice Curtis and Stacy Edwards to visit with some of our favorite equine stars.
First stop was Lane's End Farm. We spent some quality time with the likes of After Market, Candy Ride, City Zip, Curlin, Discreetly Mine, English Channel, The Factor, Lemon Drop Kid, Pleasantly Perfect, Quality Road, Smart Strike, and Union Rags.
Seeing these equine legends brought back some handicapping memories. I was in the early stages of my stint with Racing On The Net when Lemon Drop Kid captured the Belmont Stakes, and he was one of my first significant online play of the day winners.
I made my first trek to Santa Anita Park for the 2003 Breeders' Cup and Pleasantly Perfect won the Classic that year.
Fast forward to 2012 and Union Rags was my Derby horse. He had a less than ideal trip that day but redeemed himself in the Belmont Stakes. He retired shortly after the Test of Champions and I relocated to Kentucky just in time to visit the regal looking son of Dixie Union. He was taking a nap when we first arrived but curiosity got the best of him and he came over to see what we were up to. I rubbed his nose a few times and the gentle giant went back to sleep in the blink of an eye.
Some delicious refreshments were offered including chili and quiche. Real men don't eat quiche but I had some anyway before out next stop — Ashford Stud.
Coolmore America is an impressive operation with an imposing group of young stallions including Cape Blanco, Dunkirk, Hansen, Lookin At Lucky, Stay Thirsty, and Uncle Mo. It was also a pleasure to see veteran sires Fusaichi Pegasus, Giant's Causeway, Tale of the Cat, and Thunder Gulch.
Candice got her picture taken with her early racing idol Thunder Gulch, and for Stacy it was all about Stay Thirsty.
Hansen stood out with his soft, light coat. He seemed a bit edgy at first but calmed down nicely once he got outside and allowed us to get up close and personal. Our picture perfect day was not over yet, because we were only a hop, skip, and a jump from Three Chimneys.
Stacy told me to wear my Big Brown hat since she knew we would be visiting the 2008 Derby winner, but before that I had to get a glimpse of my 2001 Derby horse, Point Given.
I was all over Point Given before, during, and after the 2001 Triple Crown trail, and I even traveled to Big Sandy to watch him romp in the Belmont Stakes. He seemed unaware that I was there but just as I was about to walk away he pranced over and allowed me to share a moment with him. To his right was young stallion Caleb's Posse. Brilliant Speed was just down the road and Ice Box was in the middle of his meet and greet with the fans.
We journeyed outside and as we walked down the path, a horse handler looked at my hat and said "I know who you want to see." Actually, Colonel John was my Derby horse that year, but I played along.
Big Brown is a magnificent looking bay son of Boundary, standing at 16.1 hands, and he seems to know that he is a Derby winner.
We proceeded to walk a bit further down the path and were greeted by Marketing and Communications Director Jen Roytz. She was very gracious and asked us if we would like to see any horses.
She showed us Exchange Rate, Red Giant, and War Chant, and walked us to the next viewing area to visit with I'll Have Another's proud papa Flower Alley, who seemed to set a world record for chowing down his food. Jen was very excited about showing off low profile sire Lewis Michael, and we were more than happy to the share our day with the handsome son of Rahy.
Before we left Three Chimneys, we had a lengthy conversation with a veteran bloodstock consultant and helped ourselves to some food offered during the open house. Chili was on the menu again, and although it was tasty, I have to give the cook-off award to Lane's End.
We hopped in the car and headed to our final destination, Keeneland. It was the first day of the January sale but before hitting the pavilion, we toured the grounds, snapped some more photos, and reminisced about last year's stakes winners through the eyes of the lawn jockeys.
As for the sale, Trip for A. J. (hip 241) went for $310k, and we left after Big Tiz (hip 299) brought down the gavel at a cool $600k.
This was our first of many planned Kentucky farm visits. 2013 is off to a wonderful start and that spring aroma in the not too distant future can only mean one thing – live racing at Keeneland is just around the corner!
If you would like to view more of our farm adventure pictures, please visit Stacy's Kentucky Horse Racing Photos page.

- Once the download is complete, right-click the zip folder that you downloaded, select Extract All, and follow the on-screen instructions.
- In the list of extracted files, right-click the CDM21214_Setup.exe file and select Run as Administrator.
Note: If the Run as Administrator option is not available, you might be attempting to run the installer from within the zipped file. Please extract the files using the instructions in Step 2.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to install the device drivers and restart the computer when prompted.
- Your computer will automatically complete the driver installation and your device should be ready to use.
How to
To confirm that Windows detects your USB device, complete the following:
- Press the Windows key+R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter.
- In Device Manager, under the appropriate heading, confirm that your expansion card is listed and that there isn't an exclamation mark next to it. For example, a USB controller card would be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Your USB device is listed according to the name of the chipset. To determine the name of the chipset of your USB device, navigate to www.StarTech.com and look on the Technical Specifications tab for your product.
To confirm that the Mac OS detects your USB device, complete the following:
- Click the Apple icon.
- Click About This Mac.
- Click More Info or System Report.
- Under the appropriate heading, confirm that your USB device is listed and that there isn't an error. For example, a network card would be under Ethernet Cards.
You may need to refresh the System Information page after you plug in your device. To do so, press Command + R with the System Information page open.
Your USB device is listed according to the name of the chipset. To determine the name of the chipset of your USB device, navigate to www.StarTech.com and look on the Technical Specifications tab for your product.
Older applications that use serial communication often use legacy hardware addresses that do not work with PCI, PCIe, or USB to Serial products. We recommend contacting the software provider/support team to check if this is the case.
When you troubleshoot issues with a serial device, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Serial cables
Serial ports
Serial devices
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the serial cable, serial port, and serial device in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different serial cable, serial port, and serial device in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the serial ports and serial device, it is recommended that you do the following:
Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager. Check to see if your device is listed under Ports (COM & LPT).
Make sure that the COM port number is the correct number for the serial device and that the software being used to connect the computer to the serial device uses the correct COM port number.
If the device is listed with an error, follow the instructions on the website to reinstall the drivers.
Note: Some serial devices work only if the COM port number is between a certain range. For example, COM1 to COM4.
Perform a serial loopback test. See this FAQ on how to perform a RS-232 serial loopback test: http://www.startech.com/faq/serial_loopback_test_rs232_windows
To check whether or not an RS-232 serial port is working, perform an RS-232 loopback test by doing the following:
- If your serial port is not female, convert it by taking a female/female cable or gender changer and plugging it into the serial port.
- Take a metal paperclip or wire and cross pins 2 and 3. If you look closely at the female end, the pins should be numbered.
- Open a telnet session on the COM port number of the device that you are testing. To find out the COM port number, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/com-port-listing-windows.
Note: To open a telnet session on the COM port, you need a telnet client like PuTTY or Hyper Terminal. Windows XP comes with Hyper Terminal.
- When the session is open, anything you type into it you should see. The loopback test fails when you cannot see what you are typing.
If the loopback test fails, make sure that the serial cable or gender changer that you are using works and that the adapter is in the correct port.
You can check multiple ports at the same time by opening multiple sessions, putting the loopback adapter on one port, and trying to type into each session. When you can see what you are typing, you know that the COM port is working and you can see which port number the physical serial port is. Close the window for the port that you just tested to speed up the testing of the remaining serial ports.

Flowing through the heart of Central Europe, the Danube River is one of the world's most romantic and scenic waterways. Our luxurious, all-inclusive river cruises on the Danube showcase a variety of cultural delights, and our enticing menu of shore excursions offers something for everyone—first-time visitors as well as experienced travellers, food and wine lovers, and aficionados of music, art, and architecture.
Witness to History
One of Europe's most legendary waterways, the Danube is a cultural lifeline, a vital shipping route, and a creative and political hotspot for thousands of years. Europe's second longest river flows in an eastward direction for nearly 2,000 miles from Germany all the way to the Romanian coast, one of the most impressive journeys in history. Mighty castles and ruined fortresses line the banks of this remarkable river, which once formed the boundary between some of Europe's greatest empires, and upon which regimes from the Romans to the Nazis have all left their mark.
Artistic Muse
Widely revered for its beauty and majesty, the Danube River has long been celebrated in music, literature and the visual arts. The famous Blue Danube waltz, composed by Johann Strauss the Younger, once served as the symbol of imperial Vienna. The Danube has also played a key role in German poems, Greek legends, Romanian folk songs, and hundreds of stories and novels depicting the region's turbulent past and vibrant present. In the fine art world, the river inspired the "Danube school" tradition of landscape painting, as practiced by a number of German and Austrian painters in the early 16th century.

It proved even more unexpected than the third-quarter onside kick: David Letterman and Jay Leno sitting on the same couch, separated by Oprah Winfrey – and two decades of bitterness.
The much-talked-about Leno-Letterman Super Bowl commercial marked an awkwardly funny, if unofficial kickoff to the upcoming grudge-match/rematch of the two comics in their final battle for late-night talk show supremacy.
For Leno, appearing in the spot was a smart and bold move: his likeable, regular guy reputation, fairly or not, took a beating during the messy controversy over his return to late night and the exit of Conan O'Brien. Leno, whose last primetime show is Tuesday, apparently wants the commercial to be the image that sticks with the public until his March 1, post-Olympics late-night homecoming.
What's more surprising about the ad is Letterman's involvement: it reportedly was his idea. Sure, the 15-second short aired on Letterman's network and was a promo for his show. But his longstanding anger at Leno, which proved palpable during their recent sniping – Leno dealt the lowest blow: "You know the best way to get Letterman to ignore you? Marry him" – would seem to preclude them being in the same city together, never mind on the same piece of furniture.
Finding humor in uncomfortable and odd juxtapositions is pure Letterman. Part of his appeal and driving force is that he's a ball of insecurity, even that after 30 years of late-night success. Letterman must be feeling unusually confident – or fatalistic – as he heads into his last showdown with Leno.
The stakes, for those who care, are high all around. For the networks, money and prestige are just a couple wagers riding on the clash at a time when audiences are shrinking.
For Leno and Letterman, the rematch is more about the past in some respects than about the future. Both have a chance to prove to themselves, to the pundits and to the public who is the true heir to Johnny Carson.
If that sounds like ancient history, well, that's maybe because it is. The Leno-Letterman rivalry dates to the 1992 fight to succeed Carson as host of "The Tonight Show." Letterman, who followed Carson on "Late Night" and was Carson's favorite for the job, was famously outmaneuvered by Leno.
Letterman fled NBC for CBS and engaged in a seesaw battle with Leno for a couple years, until 1995 when "The Tonight Show" host established himself as the consistent ratings champ.
Since Leno left late night last May, Letterman has prospered, his popularity counter intuitively seemingly buoyed by a blackmail and sex scandal.
But late night is a lot more than a two-man show.
Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, George Lopez, Mo'nique and Chelsea Handler are among those occupying the crowded stage of nocturnal laugh-seekers. Lurking in the wings, of course, is O'Brien, who could end up on Fox in September, though affiliates happily airing "Seinfeld" and other reruns could balk. (Meanwhile, The Wrap reports that O'Brien was approached about appearing in the Leno-Letterman spot, but nothing came of the talks.)
The measure of success for Letterman and Leno will not only come in the ratings. Let's see who's sitting on the couch with Oprah next Super Bowl Sunday.

Powered by The Cheat
From Homestar Runner Wiki
"Powered by The Cheat" toons are Flash toons created by The Cheat and his computers, Tangerine Dreams (2002-2004) and Monosodium Dreams (2006-present). Many of them are Flash toons within the Homestar Runner universe. The toons, which are a parody of the many poorly drawn Flash cartoons on the web, are usually packed with bad animation and character depictions, poor imitations of the characters' voices (provided by Mike Chapman), and senseless or nonexistent plots.
It is never explained how The Cheat manages to imitate the other characters speaking English; in all regular toons, The Cheat speaks in his own native "The Cheat" language. He often incorporates himself into his cartoons, sometimes in a Hitchcock-style cameo, but usually portraying himself as superior to the other characters or receiving some sort of prize. The Cheat has won four prizes for these cartoons in "real" life, including an iron cup full of Brunswick Stew, a pizza for his "Everybody to the Limit" music video, the fabled "Pizza Trophy", and a slice of "chinstrap pizza".
These animations show hints of The Cheat's fantasies and possibly insecure personality. The email mile, which The Cheat guest-authored, is an ideal example of what he most desires yet cannot possibly possess. The Cheat shamelessly elevates his status in the eyes of others through praise given by his boss, Strong Bad, while Marzipan finally gives him the attention and affection he has been craving. However, the two rarely exchange words outside of a fabricated Flash universe, despite having gone on one date together.
The Cheat has provided animation for other Free Country, USA artists. He has also collaborated with the likes of The Skate Party, They Might Be Giants, and more.

STRONG BAD: Purple boxing gloves?! Did you do any fact-checking before you turned this in? What if I did that to you? Oh yeah, The Cheat, he's a... stripèd, green rabbit! With two butts!

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Mmm... all right... You get an... iron cup. Full of Brunswick Stew. {places cup of stew on table}
THE CHEAT: {responds excitedly and pushes the cup over to his side of the table}

THE CHEAT: {sad The Cheat noise (in an "Awww" pattern)}
STRONG BAD: Guy drops a couple of JPEGs in his cartoon and thinks he's like, the guy who draws The Lockhorns or something. Now that guy knows funny!

THE CHEAT: {Questioning The Cheat noises}

Relief for burned vets sought for Texas, other states
A local program that helps burned war veterans with summer cooling bills could soon be a model for Texas.
San Antonio veterans who have struggled with medical and financial challenges while recovering from severe burns also would like the 2-year-old utility assistance program replicated in other warm-weather states.
"Burns are the worst war injuries to take care of and to comprehend," said Bobby Ehrig, who suffered third-degree burns to 40 percent of his body from a 2006 suicide bomb attack in Iraq.
Burned veterans, having lost their sweat glands and epidermal insulation, are at greater risk than most people of overheating — a threat with potentially deadly consequences, he said.
The San Antonio Express-News first encountered the issue in 2006, while following an Iraq veteran with burns to 79 percent of his body from an explosion. During an interview in his home, he overheated, losing consciousness until his wife used an ice pack to cool him down. The family's monthly utility bills had risen from $150 to $265.
Ehrig, president of the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans, got help from state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, who filed a 2011 bill requiring CPS Energy to offer assistance to burned veterans. The City Council approved a $90 monthly discount from April to October.
Van de Putte and state Rep. José Menéndez, both San Antonio Democrats, now are sponsoring bills allowing other Texas utilities to voluntarily offer a similar break to severely burned combat veterans with "a significantly decreased ability to regulate the individual's body temperature," as determined by a physician. The Senate unanimously passed Van de Putte's bill last week.
Lisa Lewis, CPS Energy's vice president of corporate communications, said the utility's financial impact from the discount has been minimal, even though Ehrig said it provides great relief to families of burned veterans.
"We're happy to do it," Lewis said. "We see it as a way to give back to those folks."
Even though close to 1,000 military troops burned in Iraq or Afghanistan have been treated at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston since 2003, Lewis said only 19 are currently in the program. Ehrig estimated some 250 veterans statewide would be eligible — only about one in 100,000 Texans.
Because their bodies easily overheat and take long to cool, burned vets often stay inside , with the thermostat set at no more than 70 degrees, resulting in sky-high bills. Ehrig, who was lying on a beach in Spain a month before his injury, can no longer be out in the heat for more than about 10 minutes. Early in his recovery, his monthly summer bills exceeded $800.
"You hear stories about seniors who die at home," he said. "That's the risk we face. It's a stressor to pay so much and not have any choice."
Most Texas veterans treated for burns in San Antonio have no utility relief when they return to their hometown, Van de Putte said.
"I know utilities in other parts of the state will appreciate being allowed to help our burned warriors in their service areas as well," she said.
Bobby Henline, who has an amputated arm, disfigured face and burns to 38 percent of his body from a bomb blast in Iraq, participated in the program in its first year and has since made a name for himself as a standup comedian and motivational speaker. He envisions similar programs in Sunbelt states such as Florida, California and Arizona.
"If we can get this nationwide, that would be awesome. For someone with three or four kids, $90 a month goes a long way toward gasoline, bills or something for your family," said Henline, the sole survivor of a roadside blast that killed four other soldiers.
Ehrig said Bethesda, Md., with its military medical facilities, and California, which has leading rehabilitation centers, could follow San Antonio's lead.
"No one else is doing this or has even thought about it," he said.

CAPITALIZING on your NanoDays Partnerships, Pt. 2
The demos and banners have been put away; the thank
you notes have gone out, the reports filed, and NanoDays
2011 is now a pleasant blur receding into the collective
archive of organizational events, while you, perhaps,
move on to tackle your next big project… BUT WAIT --
Before the glow fades completely, take a moment to CAPITALIZE on your success!
Here are some ideas:
- Before the memories fade, ask everyone who helped to jot down what worked really well, what didn't work so well, and what you might like trying to do differently or additionally next year. Our team at MOS likes to do this within a week of NanoDays ending, and we usually set up a Google document to do it; because then everybody can jot down their observations raw, and then a couple of people can organize the comments under headings, like "Overall organization," "Publicity," "Signage," "Guest speaker presentations," "Volunteers," "Demos." We find this to be of enormous help nine months later when we're starting to gear up plans for the following year's NanoDays events. "Oh yeah, let's remember that it was really good to have a sign in a stanchion about what carbon nanotubes are, right next to the balloon model…." And, "yes, let's remember we need a stack of photo releases if we have anyone taking pictures…"
- Create a sharable archive of photos from the day. It's a nice idea to send a few to your organizational partners as well. If the partners are researchers, they'll be happy to have them for their annual reports to funders like NSF.
- Don't be shy about asking research partners for feedback and ideas for the following year. Ask them if they would like to help with advance planning for the following year, and if they would like to get their students involved. They might even have some funds or other resources to contribute.
- If your research center partners are thrilled with how it all turned out, find a time to set up a meeting with them, when things aren't so rushed. Give them an inside tour of the museum and talk with them about other kinds of partnership possibilities – perhaps a science communication or hands-on education workshop for their graduate students and the opportunity to practice as volunteers at Museum events; perhaps a series of "Meet the Researcher" programs on weekends with both junior and senior faculty; or perhaps a science café program for adults. Mention to them that your organization would be interested in working with them to include a small budget for education outreach activities in any upcoming research grant proposals they may be planning to develop.
- If you are a researcher or educational outreach coordinator, and you're looking for a science museum or children's museum partner, start looking around ahead of time. Consult members of your NISE Net regional group for ideas. If there is no suitable museum nearby, consider contacting a local library or community group.
NanoDays can serve as a "small step" that leads to "big impact," for museums, research centers, and community organizations, if you build on the partnerships that went into making it a success. Consult Small Steps; Big Impact: an online guide for science museum leaders developing education outreach partnerships with research centers, at risepartnerguide.org On that site, you can also blog in about your partnership-building efforts - and learn about others too.

I don't get why people put away their grills for the winter. Lawnmower makes sense, but not the grill. You don't have to stay outside with the meat, it's still a good time to drink beer, and the BBQ tastes WAY better because the other 95% of your town has put their grills away and you know you're the only one eating killer BBQ that day.
What kind of drilling do you do?
Quote from: punatic on December 14, 2011, 03:37:56 AMWhat kind of drilling do you do?I run a geological services company for oil/gas exploration. Before that I was a geological consultant for 14 years working on the rigs.Right now most of our work is medium depth horizontal, 8000-10000' vertically and then 4000-7500' laterally.
Quote from: euge on December 12, 2011, 07:33:52 PMAnd chuck instead of round?Yes, I and many others think it is a better choice for slow roasting.
And chuck instead of round?
I do have a question. Some of my research show that the method calls for the roast to be seared after brining not before. I followed AB's instructions and now wondering if that was a mistake...
Ingredients * 2 cups water * 1 cup cider vinegar * 1 cup red wine vinegar * 1 medium onion, chopped * 1 large carrot, chopped * 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, additional for seasoning meat * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 2 bay leaves * 6 whole cloves * 12 juniper berries * 1 teaspoon mustard seeds * 1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) bottom round * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * 1/3 cup sugar * 18 dark old-fashioned gingersnaps (about 5 ounces), crushed * 1/2 cup seedless raisins, optionalDirectionsIn a large saucepan over high heat combine the water, cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, bay leaves, cloves, juniper, and mustard seeds. Cover and bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.Pat the bottom round dry and rub with vegetable oil and salt on all sides. Heat a large saute pan over high heat; add the meat and brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.When the marinade has cooled to a point where you can stick your finger in it and not be burned, place the meat in a non-reactive vessel and pour over the marinade. Place into the refrigerator for 3 days. If the meat is not completely submerged in the liquid, turn it over once a day.After 3 days of marinating, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.Add the sugar to the meat and marinade, cover and place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until tender, approximately 4 hours.Remove the meat from the vessel and keep warm. Strain the liquid to remove the solids. Return the liquid to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Whisk in the gingersnaps and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Add the raisins if desired. Slice the meat and serve with the sauce.
Yeah...I see that Euge. You may try emailing him to confirm his method.

Paul Dano will play the beleaguered son of an alcoholic Robert De Niro in an adaption of Nick Flynn's 2004 memoir, "Another Bulls*** Night in Suck City," reported The Wrap.
Flynn worked at Boston's Pine Street Inn, a homeless shelter, where he was reunited with his ne'er-do-well father. Here's the publisher's synopsis:
Nick Flynn met his father when he was working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager he'd received letters from this stranger father, a self-proclaimed poet and con man doing time in federal prison for bank robbery. Another Bulls*** Night in Suck City tells the story of the trajectory that led Nick and his father onto the streets, into that shelter, and finally to each other.
U.S. & World
It's a great read, with a remarkably honest voice. Flynn manages to look on his own life with an unflinching, and never resorts to melodrama.
Director Paul Wietz (the dreadful new Vince Vaughn film "The Dilemma") will be working with a script he adapted himself. Let's hope he shows the material the respect it deserves.
Dano can be seen this year alongside Michelle Williams in "Meek's Cutoff," with Daniel Craig in "Cowboys & Aliens," and will soon start filming the new Rian Johnson film "Looper." De Niro can currently be seen lighting up the screen in Little Fockers," and will be chasing Bradley Cooper thorough New York City this spring in "Limitless."

Sponsored Edition: Roll Call
What does your daughter want to be when she grows up? A rocket scientist? Fashion designer? Member of Congress? All are totally viable career options, as long as she has the right attitude and, most importantly, the right education.
But don't take our word for it. We sat down with U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, a former high-ranking attorney and state Senate president, who started off as a young student with big dreams at St. Andrew's Priory School.
Below, the 1969 graduate reflects on her Priory education and how it helped her achieve her goals for the future.
What was your experience at St. Andrew's Priory School like?
I started attending St. Andrew's Priory in the 8th grade. One of the most terrifying moments for me was when someone asked me to conjugate a verb in Latin. I had no idea what they were talking about. I was attending this private school in Honolulu straight from Waianae Elementary. When I graduated five years later, I did so after having served as the Student Body Treasurer in 11th grade and the Student Body President in the 12th grade. During my senior year, I negotiated changes in the school rules that still exist today, including allowing us to wear muumuu on Aloha Friday instead of our sailor uniforms. It was an experience that shaped me as an individual and one that I cherish.
Can you share any fun moments with us?
My best friend during our junior year was Charlene Chun Soon. Our junior prom dates were from Iolani and we were scheduled to go to both proms. Charlene decided that I would sew her prom gowns, so we spent a weekend at my home in Waianae with me sewing and Charlene complaining that I made her iron the patterns and the stitches. We also made trips to stores to buy beads and daisies to fancy up her prom dress. I would love to share those moments with her again. The friendships we developed at the Priory made us closer than family.
What lessons did you learn?
A unisex school like St. Andrew's Priory teaches you that you can do anything; and probably more importantly, you must do everything. We were the student body officers, the athletic teams, the debate teams; and it would be a young lady that would represent the Priory at any competitive event.
During my senior year, out of 60 entrants in the Hawaii Junior Miss Pageant, nine were from the Priory. I was the only finalist and placed second runner up. I had no talent and definitely no poise, but I knew if I didn't try, I wouldn't learn. Having that confidence - or possibly the lack of inhibitions - about my abilities has shaped me and laid out my future. I had no doubt in my mind that I would be an attorney, and when I decided to run for public office, I knew that I would try for the highest office possible. This is because the Priory did not teach the words "you can't do it" or "you can't achieve that."
What advice would you give to young girls who want a career in politics?
You must first decide what a career in politics means to you. If it is to run for political office, then be aware that once elected, your life becomes public. Also know that like any other job, the higher the office you seek, the more scrutiny there will be. Politics will force you to make very difficult decisions. You are in a situation where, for most part, there are winners and losers. Notwithstanding, there is probably no job as challenging or as interesting as being in politics. It is what you make of it. Do I regret my choice? Absolutely not.
