Please Note: There are several recipes listed on this page. Please scroll down the page, to find the recipe you are seeking. Thank you!
Pots de Crème
Makes 4 to 6 servings
This delicate, rich dessert is based on a recipe my grandma often made. When I was a child it was my favorite dessert, but it was packed with eggs and heavy cream. Here's a fail-safe vegan version that faithfully reproduces the taste of Grandma's specialty. Served in tiny espresso cups, it provides an elegant ending to any fancy meal. Plus, you can make it the day before serving if you wish—always a bonus when entertaining.
3⁄4 cup vanilla nondairy milk
12 ounces soft regular or silken tofu, drained and cubed
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Heat the nondairy milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
Put the tofu and brown sugar in a blender, then add the chocolate chips. Pour in the nondairy milk and process until completely smooth.
Spoon the mixture into tiny dessert bowls or espresso cups and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours. Serve chilled.
Triple-Chocolate Brownies
Makes 8 to 10 servings
These moist and gooey treats, which incorporate two types of dark chocolate plus cocoa powder to produce a super-fudgy, triple-chocolate delight. This is one of the best brownie recipes I have ever tasted, vegan or otherwise. Jazzylicious!
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1⁄2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
13⁄4 cups brown sugar
2 cups plain or vanilla nondairy milk
12 ounces soft regular or silken tofu, drained
2⁄3 cup vegan margarine, melted
11⁄4 cups vegan dark chocolate chips
31⁄2 ounces vegan dark chocolate, chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with vegan margarine.
Put the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine. Add the brown sugar and stir with the whisk to combine.
Put the nondairy milk, tofu, and margarine in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate. Do not overmix or the brownies will be tough.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until firm and slightly crusty on top.
Put the pan on a wire rack. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Transfer to a decora-tive platter and serve dusted with confectioners' sugar if desired. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, leftover brownies will keep for about 4 days.
Chocolate Chip–Banana Muffins
These moist muffins are sweet but not overly so, making them a scrumptious treat for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert. This recipe uses ripe bananas rather than eggs for binding. Wheat germ adds both texture and nutrition, while dark chocolate contributes antioxidants, not to mention a decadent taste.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 cup toasted wheat germ
11⁄4 cups plain or vanilla nondairy milk, plus more as needed
3 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth
1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
1⁄2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
31⁄2 ounces vegan dark chocolate, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a six-cup standard muffin tin.
Put the flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine. Add the brown sugar and wheat germ and stir with the whisk to combine. Stir in the nondairy milk, bananas, and oil and mix just until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate. The mixture will be quite thick, but if it seems overly dry, stir in a bit more nondairy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Don't overmix or the muffins will be tough.
Mound the mixture into the prepared muffin cups. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Decrease the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out almost clean.
Put the pan on a wire rack and loosen the sides of each muffin with a knife. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Chocolate Truffle Trio
Makes 12 Truffles
These rich and decadent-tasting vegan confections are simple to make. And because they are best when prepared in advance, they're a great dessert to serve when entertaining guests.
7 ounces vegan dark chocolate (70 to 85 percent cacao)
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1⁄4 cup plain or vanilla nondairy milk
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch cayenne (optional)
1⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar, for coating
1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, for coating
1⁄4 cup finely chopped walnuts or other nuts, for coating
Put the chocolate and brown sugar in a double boiler over medium-low heat. When the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat. Add the nondairy milk, vanilla extract, and optional cayenne and whisk until thick and shiny. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate just until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and walnuts in three separate small bowls. Spoon out 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture and quickly roll it into a ball. Roll it in the confectioners' sugar until completely coated. Continue in this way, forming the chocolate mixture into balls and coating one-third of them in the confectioners' sugar, one-third in the cocoa powder, and one-third in the walnuts.
Arrange the balls in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Let the truffles soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the truffles will keep for 4 to 5 days.

Book Review By Linda Goodman
Reading Mary Hamilton's new book, Kentucky Folktales, is like taking a storytelling master class that leaves you with its full text instead of sketchy notes and skimpy handouts. Through the use of scary tales, tall tales, folktales, and family tales Hamilton sheds light on such issues as fear, parental neglect and abuse, healthcare, hunting, war, kingly challenges, smart women, and raising babies.
Each tale is followed by a commentary that relates Hamilton's sources for her tales and notes on how she adapted them for her own storytelling performances. Most of the stories are also followed by the script of one of the original tales, making comparisons and detail mentioned in the commentary easy to follow. Read the rest of this entry »

Andre Harrell has always been a trailblazer. Be it as one half of early 80s rap duo Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, where the pair rocked sharp suits as opposed to the obligatory jeans, sports jerseys and baseball caps. And then in the mid 80s-mid-90s as president of Uptown Records, an imprint on MCA, which kick started the whole 'ghetto fabulous' movement and assisted in ushering in the mainstream's unapologetic love affair with black culture as we currently know it, from the music, the fashion, the lifestyle and the swag.
The label also changed the music industry forever by introducing acts such as Mary J Blige, Jodeci, Guy, Heavy D and the Boys and Al B Sure, who, aside from becoming a success in their own right and carving their place in music history, became a blueprint for countless acts who followed. Uptown was also where Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing sound first began to thrive. Andre is also responsible for giving Sean 'Diddy' Combs his start in the music industry when he hired him as an intern at Uptown Records in 1993. And contrary to urban myth he didn't fire him, that was Uptown's then General Manager Mark Siegel – but that's another story for another time.
But back to Andre, who also bought us blue-eyed soul crooner Robin Thicke, and his most recent carnation as CEO of the relatively new Harrell Records, where acts include r&b male quintet Hamilton Park.
The primary reason for doing this interview is he is currently on the look out for some more acts to add to his stable. Which is why he has embarked on a fantastic and innovative global talent search project with Blazetrak, a web platform that provides direct video access to the world's top professionals. From now through to November 30th, 2011 Andre will be accepting auditions via Blazetrak.com from artists and aspiring producer/songwriters. He will personally review each and every submission, and all entrants are guaranteed a video response/critique directly from Andre himself. Then, after reviewing all the entries, on 10 January, 2012 he will announce the winning recipient of a record deal or production/publishing deal. Already, the talent search is gaining some serious buzz, with multiple tweets going out from Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Jermaine Dupri, Russell Simmons and Robin Thicke on Twitter. Here's what Andre had to say about the project, his history and impact in the music industry and the many artists and figures whose careers he is responsible for kick-starting.

I'm typing this from 30,000 feet in the air, with a runny nose. All I want is my Neti Pot.
I've had a two-day allergy attack, no doubt caused by my cats plus the cleaning that I was doing in advance of going on this airplane. Let's just say I'm getting used to sneezing and finally dug out the lovely cotton handkerchiefs handed down from my Grandma Comfort because I was so tired of piles of wadded-up tissues all over my house.
If you're not already a fan on the Neti Pot, give it a shot. Here are some first- and second-hand personal anecdotes to draw from:
- I use it (sporadically) and it always gives me a feeling I can only describe as a "nasal high." I also think of it as "nasal floss."
- My kids, after a few false starts, now LOVE the Neti Pot and beg me to let them do it. Of course, this is usually requested at bedtime, when they are stalling.
- My mom, who has suffered sinus problems her whole life, now uses the Neti pot and has seen huge improvement.
- My friend Caroline used to snort mugs of warm salt water up her nose and then shoot it back out—a primitive, violent, messy method, but roughly the same idea. I sent her a Neti pot. I think she used it, but then it broke, and she went back to the mug. But there are cheap, plastic Neti pots, available in most pharmacies—so maybe I'll spring for another one.
My yoga practice led me to awareness of the ida and pingala, which are the subtle "moon" and "sun" currents of chi that spiral up and down the central energy channel in our bodies, intersecting at the chakras. Just like nadi shodhana pranayama practice, I believe the Neti pot helps balance these subtle energies to promote overall wellness.
Finally, the Neti pot is an exercise in prevention…it doesn't work when your passages are already closed, though it does get a little salt water up there to start working out the clog. It's better to use the Neti when you are already feeling fine OR just on the verge of being stuffy OR when you are trying to rinse irritating allergens out of your nose. I might have to start traveling with mine, just in case.

Texas senators gave a standing ovation to the Navy SEALS and others involved in the Bin Laden operation, and Sen. John Whitmire asked Sen. Brian Birdwell to lead them in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Whitmire, D-Houston, called Birdwell, R-Granbury, "our own hero." Whitmire was one of many who praiseded Birdwell, who was terribly injured as an Army lieutenant colonel at the Pentagon during the 9-1-1 attack.
Several senators rose to speak on the occasion. Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, said Americans can move forward "from the pain and anger we have experienced since 9-1-1. This is our moment to put to rest many of our fears."
Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe Bay, lauded the SEALS for putting their lives on the line and President Obama for deciding to carry out the riskier operation instead of sending a missile because "the president wanted to be sure they had the right person."
As Americans, Fraser said, "We do it the right way. We never do it the easy way."
Sen. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen, said the operation shows that "anyone who attacks our country cannot hide. "
Sen Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, called it "a seminal moment for the United States and a testament to the resolve and the dedication and the selflessness of our fighting forces."
Maj. Gen. John F. Nichols, Texas' adjutant general, visited the Senate floor as Van de Putte cited the thousands of Guard members who have been deployed, and the 16 who didn't return home.
Before the Senate convened, we caught up with Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, who served in the Navy and whose son, Michael, is a Marine.
"I think as President Obama said, justice was done," Ogden said. "And I think it's been a long time in coming. And I'm thankful for our military."
Gov. Rick Perry said it succintly in a tweet hours before his formal statement: "Justice!"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will renew his push to spur investment in renewable energy projects that create jobs as a key part of his second-term strategy for tackling climate change, a top White House policy adviser said on Thursday.
This time around, though, Obama won't have the $90 billion in economic stimulus funds that his administration earlier pumped into clean energy and "green jobs" projects.
Instead, Obama wants to see "targeted and smart" investments in research and demonstration projects, and will also use the upcoming corporate tax reform process to try to "level the playing field" for renewable forms of energy, said Brian Deese, deputy director of the National Economic Council.
Obama's first-term clean energy efforts were tarnished by failed loans to companies like Solyndra, the California solar panel maker that went bankrupt in 2011 after receiving more than $527 million in government backing.
But Obama has continued to argue that the United States cannot fall behind in a global clean energy race dominated by countries like China, South Korea and Germany, which heavily subsidize their domestic industries.
"Our political system and our private sector are never going to operate in the way that some of those countries operate to strategically support targeted industries and go all-in in that way," Deese told a National Journal/The Atlantic event on energy innovation.
"The question for us is, how do we have an American-style approach that actually leverages the strengths that we have, while not ceding the race completely?" Deese said.
Obama made a passionate pledge in his second inaugural address on Tuesday to combat climate change, citing recent fires, drought and storms, "knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations."
While those words attracted a lot of attention, what came next in the speech was also important, Deese said - Obama's contention that the nation must use more "sustainable energy sources" to maintain its "economic vitality" as well as to protect the environment. "We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise," Obama said.
The White House is realistic about the slim chances of advancing comprehensive climate legislation in Congress, where many Republicans are staunchly opposed.
Instead, Deese said the administration will look for ways to use other types of legislation to accomplish clean energy goals, including upcoming efforts to overhaul the tax code.
"The way that corporate tax reform gets done could have a dramatic effect, long-term, about the incentives for investment in the United States for different types of technologies, renewable technologies," said Deese, who works on tax policy and manufacturing issues.
Obama recently pushed for an extension of the wind production tax credit and other clean energy tax credits as part of the "fiscal cliff" deal with Congress, Deese noted.
Tax breaks for traditional fossil fuel production have long been enshrined in the U.S. tax code, Deese said.
"One of the things the president has talked about is ... at a minimum, we should have a level playing field" for renewable energy, he said.
Obama also wants to explore "targeted and smart investments to help catalyze renewable energy technologies" that can lead to more U.S. manufacturing jobs, said Deese, adding that projects to make buildings become more energy efficient is another area of promise.
He said Obama still would like to see Congress pass a "clean energy standard" with annual targets for electricity from clean sources that would allow utilities to decide what type of renewable power source would best fill the quota.
Obama also may take actions that don't require congressional approval or spending, such as the increase in fuel economy standards set during his first term that will cut carbon pollution and fossil fuel use dramatically over 25 years.
"You saw the president not hesitate to use administrative action when he ran up against barriers in Congress," Deese said.

Building Investigation & Testing Services
Building Investigation & Testing Services (B.I.T.S.) was formed in 1994 to provide a highly experienced and professional service in all areas of building investigation and testing.
B.I.T.S. was formed when the management bought out the assets of S.G.S. UKs building division in a management buyout. (Originally, all of the directors and staff were part of the building investigation and testing team at Fulmer Yarsley, prior to the take over of Fulmer Yarsley in 1990 by S.G.S.UK.)
Then in 2002, B.I.T.S. acquired the Plastic Pipe testing facility from ERA Technology, adding this to their testing team skills.
So how can BITS be of benefit to you?
Put simply - the Directors and staff of B.I.T.S. have over 100 years worth of professional, high quality experience in the field of building and components testing, consultancy and litigation work.
But it doesn't stop at just building components. B.I.T.S. team of experts are also experienced and skilled in dealing with testing and consulting on building systems and products as well.
B.I.T.S. also maintain very close links with a series of approved associates and skilled professionals whose expertise is relevant to the building industry, ensuring that their specialist niche knowledge is on tap and available to our clients as and when required.
We also employ the world's leading experts in Raised Floor Access and Plastic Pipe testing, making us the clear market leaders in both fields.
As you would expect from a professional company, B.I.T.S. laboratory is accredited by UKAS (accreditation number 1614). We are members of the Association of Building Component Manufacturers (ABCM) as well as being representative on many buildings' related BSI committees. This means that B.I.T.S. is always at the forefront of the latest industry and government required specification or legislation and can advise you on your requirements from an informed and factual point of view - not guesswork!
At the same time B.I.T.S. is one of the few truly Independent Testing Laboratories within the UK and has no financial interest or association with any other business.
More importantly, nor are we supported by subscription from any sector of the industry or government funding. This means that the advice we give and the service we offer is totally driven by you and targeted towards your needs and best solution, free from any outside influence.
Nothing is potentially more serious, disruptive or fatal than a building failure arising from defects, breakages or leakages.

New Thame Youth Memorial Information Point
15 July 2015
Couple say "I Do" to Youth Memorial Fundraising
What is Thame Youth Memorial?
Most people remember losing a friend or a classmate while at school and realise that the premature death of a young person has an impact beyond the family and is a loss to the whole community. In Thame and the surrounding villages we want to acknowledge those who died too young – every one gone before their time, before realising their potential in life, and before achieving their ambitions.
We already have an area which will form the memorial provided by the Town Council and formally dedicated in January 2010, and now we are working towards a centrepiece for this haven for remembrance and reflection. To the future, we plan to act as a support within the local community for those affected by such loss and to work with schools, youth groups and health providers to help fund and facilitate anything that can help to reduce youth mortality.
Our Objectives
- To educate the people of the Thame area in the emotional and physical needs of those affected by the premature loss of a loved one.
- To support a place of reflection for those affected by the loss of a youth of Thame & surrounding villages.
- To provide and maintain a lasting monument in Thame to the youth of the town and area who die prematurely.
- To provide a plaque of remembrance for each individual person who has died, as desired by their loved ones.
To submit a request for the inclusion of a name within the memorial, please download the nomination form Here, complete according to the guidelines and return to Thame Town Hall, FAO Thame Youth Memorial.

Manchester United still look set for a busy summer in the transfer market with three more players linked with moves to Old Trafford today.
The Sun report Everton's Romelu Lukaku could be a target should a move for Atletico Madrid forward Mario Mandzukic not materialise, while Spanish newspaper Marca report Raphael Varane could also head to Manchester from Real Madrid, possibly as part of a David De Gea swap deal.
L'equipe, meanwhile, think Monaco defender Fabinho may also be on Louis van Gaal's radar.
The Daily Mail are reporting that Southampton are finalising a deal for Portuguese defender Cedric Soares, the paper also claiming Chelsea's Gael Kakuta is heading to Sevilla.
The Times say former Newcastle star Yohan Cabaye could be on his way to Tottenham from Paris St Germain with a £20 million bid having been tabled, while QPR striker Charlie Austin is a target for Chelsea, West Ham and Newcastle according to the Daily Star.
Full-back Nathaniel Clyne's move to Liverpool continues to look likely with the Liverpool Echo reporting a deal has been agreed with Southampton for the England man, while Petr Cech could still be heading to Arsenal from Chelsea according to the Daily Star.

Unmistakable signals are now appearing that the economic recovery is sustainable and t will soon lead to increasing demand for building space and facility capacity, according to the latest white paper in Reed Construction Data's 2010 Construction Forecast White Paper Series. This has already happened in many housing markets and for some types of non-residential projects in a small but growing number of regional markets. With space and facility completions continuing to slow, the space and capacity surpluses that prevent new project starts will soon be ebbing. Market by market, project type by project type, this turnabout will gradually happen over the next year.

i'm curious as to what the A/N community thinks about this form of advertising.
personally, i like it. no doubt, they tend to incite controversy, and many people misunderstand the intent and message. still, even bad publicity is better than none at all. take this for example:
in Harrisburg, PA this billboard went up just the other day to the utter outrage of local, African Americans in the community. it quotes the Bible (with the source underneath), saying "Slaves, Obey your Master." of course, the angry mob directs their ire in the wrong direction, totally missing that it is their Holy Book whose message is being repeated. naturally, the billboard was vandalized and partially torn down on it's first night.
similar controversies have arisen in Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, and most recently New York City. the timing is ideal, as the upswing in Atheist converts is breathtaking. strike while the iron is hot, as they say. question is, are the billboards actually garnering converts or just stirring up hatred towards Atheists? if it is the latter, should we still be in favor of this tactic?
what say you?
Views: 819
It's aggressive, I'll grant you that (a shame, there was no picture), but let's be real. This is what the bible says, and if those who espouse the bible don't like it, they can be bothered to READ the damned thing a bit better than they have to date!
google it. it's easy to find. i tried to cut and paste here but i'm not that savvy aparantly.
respectfully, i must disagree with your take. it's akin to shooting the messenger. the American Atheists are not advocating slavery, the Bible is. it's not their fault that people are blinded by their faith. they probably doubt the authenticity of the verse. or they have willingly chosen to ignore that part. either way, their anger is misguided by ignorance.
i'm guessing that was included for shock value. sometimes words don't get read, but a picture says a thousand words. unfortunately, the message was lost due to the visceral reaction to the image. understandable, i suppose.
thanks for the update.
The Nerd, excellent article and I hope you post it on its own.
These discussions have left me with a question:
1. KKK put a burning cross or a noose on the property of a black person;
2. Atheist wears a costume of a Muslim.
Both are freedom of speech, right? There are laws against putting nooses and crosses on property of blacks because they are ruled to be hate crimes.
A copy of a photograph of a black in chains is a photo telling what happened, right? Is that a hate crime?
I hadn't thought of "widdle feewings" hurt. That is why sharing ideas is so valuable. That said, is there a way to get the awful reality through to everybody, even children, that our history is full of dreadful stories of injustice, cruelty, and suffering.? I am remembering my boy at the boy's ranch who was so angry and how hard his mother and father tried to protect him from USA's history. The boy was killed robbing a store. I still cry when I remember him.
thanks for that Pat.
based on comments on various news sites, it seems as though the more rational crowd "gets it". both believers and non-believers. still a lot of vitriol and ignorance, but less than i was expecting.
Yes, Matthew, some are "getting it". But what about all those people, dressed so nicely, looking so prim and proper, articulating just pure nonsense! And look who are running on the Republican ticket! Shame on USA. To have raised up numbers of such outrageous values. Have we forgotten the Revolution, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Civil War, and then resort to wars of empirical conquest. USA is becoming that which we hate.
This is what happened! It is not an opinion! We could put up hundreds of such photos and still not tell the horrid story of slavery as practiced by christians in USA.
Oooo, that's right, Pennsylvania lawmakers declared 2012 to be the "Year of the Bible." Gee, whiz!
Y'all suppose next year will be the year of the quran? Gotta be fair, ya know!
the head of American Atheists in Harrisburg had a one on one with a state lawmaker about the year of the Bible, and asked if next year could be the "year of the atheist". his request was denied. go figure.

A series of traditional ESP cards are introduced to a subject. For this test only two symbols are necessary - the square and the circle.
An experiment of psychic ability will begin momentarily. The purpose is to determine whether or not someone can psychically intuit whether the cards bear a square or a circle.Ten cards - (five circles and five squares) are shuffled together and held up one at a time.
To start, one card is held up and the subject must divine which shape it holds. This card is then openly shown to the subject, allowing him to see how strong or poor his psychic intuition is.The experiment is continued with the second card, allowing the subject to again see his psychic progress. Now the real test begins, the remaining eight cards are held up and quickly placed into whichever pile the subject believes they belong.
To conclude the experiment the cards are turned over and fanned out.
Showing a perfect separation of squares and circles.

Season starts Friday at Inman
Contributing writer
With only one starter back from last year, the Goessel boys' basketball team will be looking to fill openings in its starting lineup. More than 20 boys have reported for practice, so coach Curtis Guhr will have players to mold into these positions.
"Finding the right group to accept their roles will be vital to our success," Guhr commented.
Ben Wiens returns for his senior season as the only member of the team that earned a starting role in last year's 9-12 season. Wiens, at 6-1, played a key role as a power forward last year, securing 3.9 rebounds per game and scoring 4.1 points per game. He led the team in shooting, hitting 60 percent of his field goals and 66 percent of his free throws.
Three other seniors lettered last year, adding to the bulk on this year's squad. Brian Hiebert, at 6-3, has a soft touch around the basket and will be needed for positioning when getting rebounds.
Reece Hiebert, at 6-2, will also take up a lot of space around the basket and will be expected to take his share of the scoring and rebounding tasks, improving on his 1.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per game from last year.
Zach Showalter will be a leader for the team from a guard position. At 5-10, he knocked in 1.7 points per game and 1.5 rebounds per game last season.
Guhr is looking for Lawton Makovec, a junior, to see significant minutes on varsity this year. Spending many hours in the gym this summer, it may be that Makovec becomes the ball handler for the team in 2013.
"We have an asset in the ability to handle the ball and our quickness," said Guhr. "We will be focusing on rebounding and defense as the season begins."
Last season
The Bluebirds ended last season with a 9-12 overall record and finished in the middle of the Wheat State League with a 4-4 record. Graduation last year took 79 percent of the team's scoring, so the Bluebirds will be looking to rebuild. Guhr expects Rural Vista, Peabody-Burns, and Centre to be the toughest boys' teams in the league.
A game Friday at Inman will open the season for Goessel. The Bluebirds will have three games at home next week when they host the Bluebird Classic.

A total of three members of the Hope College faculty are retiring at the end of the school year: Lynne Hendrix, professor of accountancy; Maura Reynolds, associate professor of Latin and director of advising; and Dr. William Reynolds, dean for the arts and humanities and professor of English.
Together, they have served Hope students for a combined 109 years.
Lynne Hendrix has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1984. She has taught courses including Principles of Financial Accounting, Cost Accounting, Principles of Managerial Accounting, Intermediate I, Auditing I and II, and Accounting Practicum I and II. She has also directed the Accounting Practicum (internship program) and chaired various scholarship committees. She served as a "Faculty in Residence" during a sabbatical, working in the tax department of BDO Seidman in Grand Rapids.
Her work as a mentor also extends to helping graduating students with their resumes and even with their job search. In recognition of her commitment to and excellence in teaching accounting and promoting the CPA profession, the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants presented her with its "Accounting Educator of the Year" award in 2005.
Among her other service to the college, she has been one of Hope's two MIAA conference faculty representatives and NCAA faculty representatives for 24 years, also serving as a member and chair of the college's Athletic Committee. She has also served as Hope's liaison to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) and the American Society of Women Accountants.

She delivered the college's Opening Convocation address in August of 1998 and Commencement address in May of 2001. In 2003, she received both the college's "Provost's Award for Service to the Academic Program," given to professors who have demonstrated recognizable excellence in specific activities or aspects of teaching, and "Vanderbush-Weller Development Fund" award, presented for strong, positive impact on students.
Maura Reynolds helped plan and implement New Student Orientation at Hope from 1987 through the beginning of the spring 2013 semester. For more than 20 years she was also a member of the staff of the college's Teaching Enhancement Workshop, geared toward faculty members about to begin their first year at Hope.
She has made several presentations at professional conferences, discussing advising and teaching. She is currently serving a three-year term as chair of the Small Colleges and Universities Commission of the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).
Reynolds holds bachelor's and master's degrees in Latin from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Courses he has taught at the college have included expository writing and world literature, as well as the history of the English language, and British literature of the Old and Middle English periods and the earlier Renaissance. He has been a member or chair of several committees at Hope, and co-chaired the Faculty-Staff Division of the college's "Hope in the Future" comprehensive campaign.
He co-edited the book "It's a Print: Detective Fiction from Page to Screen," which was published in October 1994 by the Popular Press of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He also contributed one of the book's 13 essays: "The Patriarchy Restored: BBC Television's Adaptation of Dorothy Sayers's 'Strong Poison,' 'Have His Carcase' and 'Gaudy Night.'"
William Reynolds has had several articles and reviews published, in journals including "Christianity and Literature," "Clues," "Crime and Detective Stories," and "The Armchair Detective." He has also regularly presented papers during the Annual Convention of the Popular Culture Association. He is a member of the Popular Culture Association, the Modern Language Association, and the Conference on Christianity and Literature.
William Reynolds holds his undergraduate degree from Xavier University, a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from the University of Illinois. He and his wife, Maura, who is also retiring from Hope this year, have two grown daughters and two granddaughters.

Hello All,
Last week I bought a Angled J1772 Female wall mount so that I can keep my EVSE charging cable off the ground.
I bought the unit from this site: http://erroneus.myevblog.com/buy-plastic-parts-here/
This thread contains more info: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=11868&start=30#p336985
This is the MNL Member I bought the Dummy Inlet from: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3642
It's a nice sturdy product with a notch so that the J1772 connector clips on and does not fall out.
The only suggestion I would make is that he add White as an option.
My goal was to camouflage my EVSE Cord so that when you are driving by my house it mixes in with the color of my garage. My garage is white and so I bought white duct tape to cover the black cord. From the street the only thing that still stands out is the Gray Dummy Inlet. I might paint it.
Here's some pics of my Install:

In early 2005, a leading private health care system in our state published an assessment of Louisiana's health care safety-net system, the LSU public hospitals.
In early 2005, a leading private health care system in our state published an assessment of Louisiana's health care safety-net system, the LSU public hospitals. That report included an urgent call to action to address concerns about a system that was failing to keep pace with national trends in public health care and medical training.
Specifically, it noted declining utilization, high uncompensated-care costs, high Medicaid reliance and insignificant investment from local communities as worrisome variances from other successful models. Shortly after its publication, hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated our state, putting any plans for significant reform on hold as that state struggled to grapple with a monumental recovery effort.
Perhaps ironically, the after-effects of those storms are now accelerating the need to resume the serious discussion about modernizing our state's public hospital system. Like many of our neighboring Deep South states, Louisiana has historically experienced a federal Medicaid matching rate of more than 70 percent. This summer, after the Louisiana legislative session concluded, Congress acted suddenly, and without advance warning, to lower the rate of federal funding for Louisiana's Medicaid program to the lowest level in over 25 years, ultimately putting our reimbursement on par with states like Maine, Missouri, Oregon and Wisconsin, all of which have smaller Medicaid populations. More urgently, Congress' actions left Louisiana with an $859 million gap in this year's state budget.
The Disproportionate Share Hospital program, commonly referred to as DSH, is the largest discretionary Medicaid program. It provides funding to hospitals that treat a large volume of low-income patients without insurance. Louisiana is the fourth-highest spender of DSH resources, with over 90 percent of those dollars directed to the LSU public hospitals. Between DSH and Medicaid payments, LSU Hospitals are paid on average 30 percent more than private hospitals to deliver the same care.
This is in spite of the fact that in recent years, overall private hospital spending increased as changes in the health care system caused more patients who traditionally sought care in LSU hospitals to go to other hospitals. In response to Congress' reduction in Medicaid funding, LSU announced plans to meet the budget shortfall.
Make no mistake; this is a watershed moment for LSU and our state. The concerns aired in the 2005 report still exist and must be addressed, and while the loss of funding provides an immediate catalyst for change, it is only accelerating the inevitable. If we are to continue providing critical safety-net health care services to Louisiana residents, and if we are to continue using the LSU system as the basis for medical education and training in our state, we need to examine how we can do a better job at both while living within our budget constraints and the realities of our health care system.
In most states, public hospitals are largely governed and financed at the local level, where communities invest in those resources independently of state subsidy. Our state-owned and financed hospital-based charity care structure cannot be sustained in today's health care economy — with or without these reductions.
Last week, LSU leadership laid out their roadmap to achieving this reduction, which includes no hospital closures and strengthens graduate medical education programs. Instead, they are working on a new model by focusing on maintaining medical homes and outpatient clinic care while maximizing public-private partnerships to close service gaps and enhance graduate medical education programs.
While each community will require a solution that works best the particular region, LSU must foster these partnerships across the state to better balance its resources and deliver services in a more effective way. One example of a public-private partnership is already happening in Baton Rouge where LSU is partnering with Our Lady of the Lake on a plan that is not only saving the state more than $400 million, but also expanding health care services to the poor and improving graduate medical education.
The bottom line is that the LSU Health System is a on course to operate in a 21st century model that protects patient care, provides more training opportunities for students and gives us a meaningful chance to incorporate new and more diversified health care partners into the public hospital network.
We at DHH stand ready to roll up our sleeves and work with LSU and leaders across the state to build a stronger system that both taxpayers and residents who rely on LSU for their care, as well as our future health care professionals who will train at these hospitals, deserve.
Bruce D. Greenstein is secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. His comments relate to cuts that will result in nearly 250 layoffs and severe program cuts at Chabert Medical Center, the state charity hospital in Houma.

News editor
Rainfall in August is approaching record levels for Marion County, less than halfway through the month.
Rainfall at the Marion Reservoir dam has been 6.88 inches through 8 a.m. Monday. The record for all of August was 8.73 inches in 1996. The average rainfall for August is 3.72 inches. Records only go back to 1966.
Thanks to a wet final week, July was well above the average. There were 9.28 inches of rain in July. The average is 3.82 inches. It didn't surpass the July record of 12.61 inches set in 1993, though.
Through Monday morning, the rainfall total for the year was 26.59 inches. The average for a full year is 33.33 inches.
Reservoir campsites closed
Many campsites at Marion Reservoir were closed because of high water. All of Marion Cove and French Creek campgrounds were closed, and much of Cottonwood Point and Hillsboro Cove were closed.
The water level Monday was high enough at Hillsboro Cove that a carp swam under the road through a culver in a camping loop and could be seen and heard splashing and grazing in a flooded ditch.
At noon Tuesday, the reservoir was 4½ feet into its 8-foot flood control pool. Another 2¾ inches of rain over the reservoir's entire drainage basin would be enough to completely fill the flood control pool.
Water was flowing over the low-water bridge at Marion County Lake's east end and the spillway at the west end Monday.
Lake resident Gordon Pendergraft said the water was spilling into his backyard Monday afternoon.
Golf course affected
Anyone calling Hillsboro Municipal Golf Course on Monday was greeted by a prerecorded message from Gary Andrews.
"We have received 2.35 inches of rain this morning, so the golf course will be closed today," the message said.
It wasn't the first day the course had been closed because of rain this month.
"We've had to be closed a lot the last two weeks because of all the rain," Andrews said.
The club championship tournament was postponed a week from the weekend of Aug. 3, and golfers fortunately were able to complete it over the comparatively dry weekend. However, special precautions did have to be taken to prevent damage to the course, though.
Golfers couldn't take carts onto the fairways, which meant a lot of walking, Andrews said.
However, Andrews said he would rather have the rain than a drought like recent summers have had.
"You can grow stuff with the rain," he said.

Thread: Back- E.M.F. questions
11-01-2017 #1
Hi all
I am trying to figure out if the following configuration would work.
I have acquired 3 x 1606-XLS480EC (24V, 20A) PSUs, which I plan to wire in series to give me 72V, 20A PSU, this would be connected to the Leadshine AM882 drive which will drive my 85BYGH450D-008 Nema 34 1090 oz-in motor.
On reading thru the PSU manual they have the following:
Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the power supply. This feature is also called return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force).
This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply. It does not matter, whether the power supply is on or off.
The maximum allowed feedback voltage is 34Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 8. If the feedback voltage gets higher than 34Vdc, the power supply responds with a shut-down and a subsequent start-up attempt.
Great, this will resolve my worries on the Back- E.M.F. , however on the connection information for the serial connection there is this caveat
Note: Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is applied to the output terminals.
This has got me worrying that my proposed configuration will be an issue.
My question is, what is the role of the step driver (AM882) with regards to the Back- E.M.F. Will it pass this through to PSU and cause issues?
11-01-2017 #2
With switched PSU's they don't handle back emf vety well as they don't have large capacitors to absorb it. That's why most of us build our own and put nice big capacitors to smooth the output voltage and also handle any back emf from deceleration.

Staff Sgt. Jennifer Sbarro, New Jersey National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, pitches a box containing part of the 12,464 pounds of unwanted or expired medications collected during Operation Take Back New Jersey 2011. Law enforcement agencies across the state set up collection points on April 30 where New Jerseyans could drop-off unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal. The drugs were taken to an incinerator where they were destroyed. The Operation is an initiative of the Jersey division of the Drug Enforcement Administration, The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, the New York/ New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, and the New Jersey National Guard. Nationwide, Americans turned in more than 376,593 pounds of medications. According to the DEA, more Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those using cocaine, hallucinogens, and heroin combined. (Photo by Mark C. Olsen, DMAVA Public Affairs)

Soldiers who have used the Army's XM-25 grenade launcher in Afghanistan want more of the futuristic weapon, which can fire rounds that explode at a predetermined distance, defeating barriers that protect enemies.
The Army wants to acquire 36 more XM-25s, according to a report on army.mil. The first batch might be deployed in a year, but funding has to be secured and the weapons and rounds, which apparently cost some $25,000 and $1,000 apiece, respectively, are still being made by hand.
Mass production won't happen until 2013 at the earliest, according to the report. The site previously said the Army would buy more than 12,500 XM-25s beginning in 2012.
The 12-pound, 29-inch XM-25 can fire 25mm airbursting rounds up to 500 meters (546 yards) for a precision target and 700 meters (765 yards) when firing on an area. As each microchip-equipped round is fired, it counts the number of rotations it makes and then explodes when it reaches the target distance. Check out the old CNN vid below.
A laser range finder on the weapon lets troops check how far targets are. For instance, a soldier can sight the distance to a building protecting enemies, add two meters to that, and then fire the round through a window so it explodes inside.
Troops who used the five prototype XM-25s that went to Afghanistan were impressed by its ability to explode right over the heads of protected enemies, and asked to keep the weapons in their units. They were used on nine operations beginning in December, and helped end firefights in minutes.
"The kids are calling it 'the Punisher,'" Brig. Gen. Peter N. Fuller was quoted as saying. "I don't know what we're going to title this product, but it seems to be game-changing. You no longer can shoot at American forces and then hide behind something. We're going to reach out and touch you."

The entire idea of valuing companies using a discounted cash flow method is based on the premise that the value of a company is the value of its future cash flows, discounted by an appropriate rate to the present.
Now, DCF models provide a very elegant solution to the valuation problem. Simply plug in your implied growth rate, your starting cash flow and tadah! You have the intrinsic value of a company.
However, what most people do not realise is that DCF faces several challenges that can potentially overvalue or undervalue a company.
The first challenge is that DCF is extremely imprecise. Put in garbage and you get garbage valuation. Its notoriously hard to predict whats going to happen the next year, much less 20 years into the future. I would be very suspicious of anyone claiming to be able to do so!
Secondly, if you look at a discounted cash flow model, it only shows results getting better year after year (entirely ridiculous!). There is never a down year. Furthermore, high growth rates are impossilbe to maintain over time due to the law of big numbers. For example, its a mathemtical impossilibty that Apple can keep growing at its current growth rate in the long run so it would be suicidal to use a DCF model here.
Finally, there is the problem of choosing an appropriate discount rate. Academics have debated it to the death and still no firm consensus has been ironed out. I have even seen people deriving a discount rate from beta (which I consider to be a ridiculous concept..) which makes no sense whatsoever to me.
That being said, I still feel that Discounted Cash Flows are still the best method in many situations to evaluate companies. It's really a situation whereby there are a lack of better tools avaliable to do the job. In other to deal with the flaws of the DCF Model, I normally try to do the following:
1) DCF Valuation should be the last step of your entire evaluation process.
2) Look for a company with relatively stable free cash flow throughout a long number of years.
3) Be extremely conservative in your growth rates. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. As a rule of thumb, companies that post growth rates exceeding 15% rarely meet expecations.
4) Look at the relative valuations like P/E to see if your valuation makes any sense.
The above discussion highlights why Margin of Safety is the most important aspect of investing. Valuation is really more art than science. Benjamin Graham once valued a company to be worth between $15 – 40 – reflecting how imprecise he knew it to be.
Always demand a Margin of Safety no matter what kind of valuation tool you use.
In the end, DCF is only one of the methods to go about valuing a company. My advise would be to look at different valuation methods to see where yours stands before making an investment decision.


text: Allergies Allergies affecting the eye are fairly common. Allergic conjunctivitis is inflammation or irritation of the clear mucous membrane lining the inner eyelids and sclera called the conjunctiva. This condition, which can be seasonal or yearlong, is caused by external allergens and is not contagious. The seasonal form of allergic conjunctivitis is more common and is associated with pollen, grass, and other airborne allergens, particularly during the spring and summer. Yearlong allergies on the other hand, are generally triggered by indoor allergens, such as animal dander, mold spores, and dust. An increasing number of eye allergy cases are related to medications, contact lens wear, and certain cosmetics. Symptoms Symptoms can include redness, itching, tearing, burning, stinging, foreign body sensation, watery discharge, blurry vision, and swollen eyelids, although they are not usually severe enough to require medical attention. Allergy symptoms are usually temporary and can be eliminated by avoiding contact with the offending cosmetic or detergent. Diagnosis The diagnosis of allergic conjunctivitis is generally made clinically. Occasionally, skin tests or blood tests may be required for exact diagnosis in some patients. Treatment Treatment might include cold compresses, artificial tears and a variety of topical medications. Antihistamine decongestant eye drops can effectively reduce symptoms. Some patients may require ointments used in the treatment of eczema. Medications by mouth may be needed in patients with severe involvement including the cornea.

Low Back Pain and Complementary & Alternative Medicine
by Pamela Katz Ressler, RN, BSN, HN-BC, MS-PREP student and PREP-AIRED blog moderator
The current issue of the NIH National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine's (NCCAM) newsletter focuses on low-back pain: research and care. Since 4 out of 5 individuals will experience low-back pain in their lives, most healthcare practitioners will be asked to treat this condition at some point. Patients, as well as healthcare practitioners are often frustrated with treatment options for low-back pain. Understanding types of complementary strategies patients may be utilizing and may not be disclosing to their physicians is helpful in exploring the full context of low-back pain.

Remember the good old days when the Obama administration promised "smart diplomacy?" Hillary Clinton mocked the Bush administration for not cozying up sufficiently to Vladimir Putin's Russia, and presented the Russians with a "reset" button to demonstrate that from now on, things would be better. Right.
Now the administration is feuding with Putin over Edward Snowden. It is a bad sort of feud, because the Russians hold all the cards, in the person of Snowden. Whatever Snowden knows they can easily learn, and at this point there is nothing we can do about it. So in his press conference today, Obama lashed out against Putin:
I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin. When we have conversations, they're candid, they're blunt; oftentimes, they're constructive. I know the press likes to focus on body language and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom.
Maybe directing gratuitous insults toward rival world leaders is a good strategy, when you are dealing from a position of weakness. Maybe, but I doubt it. Although I can see how it could be tempting. But we certainly have come a long way from the early days of the "Hope and Change" administration.

FSA's SL-K Light Compact MegaExo chainset might be a bit of a mouthful to say but it is light, stiff and strong while after six months of use the bottom bracket is still running as silky smooth as it was out of the box.
The cranks are monocoque carbon composite with "enriched glass fiber content" says the blurb (although we didn't have any luck finding out what enriched glass fibre brings to the party), they're also hollow to keep the weight down, with a unidirectional carbon finish. The 50/34 tooth chainrings are strong 7075 aluminium, CNC machined. They're held in place with Torx T-30 alloy bolts so swapping new chainrings in place when they eventually wear out is a simple job.
As usual with an external bottom bracket system, the 24mm axle is cromoly, while the chainset comes with a 145mm Q-factor (pedal stance width). The bottom bracket comprises oversized steel cartridge bearings in forged and machined FSA MegaExo cups.
According to the road.cc scales, the chainset (with 172.5mm cranks) weighs 646g (470g + 176g) which is exactly the weight FSA claim in their marketing literature. That's notable in itself. Manufacturers habitually seem to knock off about 5-10% when quoting product weights... well, lots of them do, although not all, which makes things complicated. The BB weighs another 100g.
That's about the same as Shimano Dura-Ace (£439.99), for example, while FSA quote 596g and 100g for their top-level K-Force compact chainset and bottom bracket.
Getting everything set up right is easy enough, although as well as the usual bottom bracket tool you need a MegaExo bolt pin tool (or a BB pin spanner that'll cost you just under £20). Or you could just get the guys in your local bike shop to do it for you.
Once up and running, the best you can say about a chainset is that you don't really notice it too much, and that's the case here. It gets on with its job without any fuss at all. I've used three different chains with this chainset - one from Shimano, one from YBN, and one from FSA - and they've all run smoothly with very little noise. They've all ramped up between the chainrings quickly and reliably too.
In terms of wear, the chainrings are looking pretty good still and, after a quick clean, the cranks are almost as shiny as they were on day one. I've managed to scuff a graphic slightly on the non-driveside somehow but apart from that you'd hardly know they've been through a winter and spring of regular riding.
The bottom bracket is going strong too without any creaks. You can't open it up so it's impossible to say for sure, but it still feels ultra-smooth without any contamination in there from wet and grimy rides.
The only question is why you'd buy this chainset/BB combo over anything else out there. You can't buy a complete SL-K groupset and there's no price saving over equivalents from Shimano and SRAM, for example. They're all similar on actual weights too - less than 20g between them. I imagine most people already on Shimano or SRAM are going to stick with those. Perhaps if your bike already has an FSA chainset and you want to go with what you know when upgrading, the SL-K Light will appeal. Whatever your reasons you do fancy making the switch the SL-K Light won't let you down.
The FSA SL-K Light Compact Megaexo is also available in standard (53/39T) and triple (52/39/30T) versions, in a BB30 option, and in 165, 170, 172.5, 175mm.
Lightweight, strong and stiff chainset with a smooth and reliable bottom bracket
