A portabella mushroom cap could never stand in as a hamburger in the Hanson home.
Under normal circumstances, this meatless replacement would be considered contraband. And not because I forgot to declare it at the border. But because I married a carnivore.
As an avid hunter, my husband Mike don't appreciate the benefits of an occasional vegeterian meal. He appreciates meat. Red meat.
Red meat makes up three quarters of his nutritional pyramid. Fish and game birds are allowed sparingly. And to clarify, chicken is not a game bird.
But to the point, a girl can only eat so much meat.
Which is why I secretly look forward to Mike's Tuesday evening fishing league.
On these special nights, I'm free to prepare whatever I want for dinner. No thawing. No draining of fat. No deboning. No Defeathering. No removing stray bullets. You get the point.
And you can understand why I take every opportunity to try a vegeterian dish. And unlike recipes for ground venison, I don't have vegeterian recipes at the ready in my mental recipe collection.
But I had heard enough good things about portabella mushrooms to want to purhcase two large caps. Even if they were almost 4 dollars at the grocery store. Because I love sauteed mushrooms and onions, I picked up a red onion. I also threw in a green pepper for good measure.
I brought the mushrooms home and locked the door behind me in case my husband should were to come home unexpectedly. Kidding.
I went about chopping my onion and pepper into larger sections. I layered my mushroom, onion rings and pepper chunks on a piece of aluminum foil I had sprayed with cooking spray. I put my foil package on the grill at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until tender.
Because my buns were slightly dried already, I sprayed them with cooking spray and garlic powder and added them to the top rack of the grill for the last 30 minutes.
To assemble my burger, I placed the mushroom, onion and pepper on top of my bun. I added my swiss cheese, ketchup and mustard.
Let's just say I will forever encourage my husband to pursue his evening hobbies if it means I can enjoy more nights like these.
No Fella Portabella Burgers:
One portabella mushroom cap
Sliced red onion
Sliced green pepper
cooking spray
hamburger buns
garlic powder
one slice swiss cheese
1. Turn on grill and preheat to 400 degrees.
2. Rinse portabella mushroom and pat dry. Spray both sides with cooking spray and place mushroom cap-side down on a piece of aluminum foil.
3. Place onion slices on top of mushroom. Spray with cooking spray.
4. Place green pepper slices on top of onion slices. Spray and sprinkle generously with fresh cracked pepper.
5. Fold foil around mushroom, pepper and onion to form a packet. Place packet directly on flame in grill for about 10 minutes.
6. Spray hamburger buns with cooking spray and sprinkle inside of buns with garlic powder. Place on top rack of grill for no more than one minute.
7. Remove foil packet and buns from grill. Arrange portabella mushroom on bun with cheese. Add condiments to your liking.

WASHINGTON (Jun. 13)
President Carter today rejected the charge by Soviet authorities that Moscow Jewish activist Anatoly Sharansky, who has been charged with treason, worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The President said he had "double checked" with both the CIA and the State Department and was told that Sharansky had no connections with the American government.
Carter made his statements at a press conference this afternoon when he was asked if he had plans to meet Sharansky's wife, Natalya, who is in Washington to seek help in obtaining her husband's freedom. Mrs. Sharansky, who lives in Israel, said yesterday she hoped to see the President but Carter said today he has no plans to meet her.
However, he noted that he asked the CIA and the State Department to check the Soviet allegations against Sharansky. He said he had been hesitant about making any public statements but now was assured that Sharansky never worked for the CIA.
The State Department said on June 2 it was "deeply concerned" about the treason charge against Sharansky which had been reported from Moscow a day earlier. Sharansky has been held in a Moscow prison since his arrest March 15 while talking to two American correspondents. The 29-year-old computer specialist is a member of a group monitoring the Soviet compliance with the human rights provisions of the Helsinki accord and frequently briefed Western correspondents because of his fluency in English. He and fellow Jewish activist Vladimir Slepak were accused in an Izvestia article early this year of working for the CIA.

Why is the Playboy empire peddling its bunny logo to the middle-school set?
The Playboy brand has come a long way. Playmates now samba proudly on family friendly fare like "Dancing With the Stars," and its empire is the subject of a retro-themed fall drama. But are you ready to let your little girl be a bunny-to-be?
The Collective Shout blog points out that the Australian accessories chain Diva — a kind of Claire's Boutique for the Down Under set — has launched a Playboy line of accessories. What's your pleasure, kids? A necklace with an iconic rabbit silhouette? A vintage-looking bowtie?
Diva isn't Toys R Us, and Playboy isn't trying to peddle Baby's First Bikini Wax. The merchandise in question includes earrings and pendants, not plush toys. But that doesn't mean that either Diva or Playboy get a pass for another obvious attempt at sexing up young girls. Diva, with its cute pink heart logos and invitations to "BFF us on Facebook," aims squarely, unambiguously at the junior set. Most grown women aren't looking to pick up a K Perry ring or a Pixie Dust Necklace with Tinkerbell charms.
That's what's seriously messed up about this product line. As Collective Shout justly asks, "Why is Diva wanting to dress [girls] up in a Pornography brand?" Sadly, because they can. Playboy is a company sells young women cute accoutrements — and sells men those young women's asses. It's no coincidence that the ubiquitous little bunny on Diva's harmless-looking necklace also appears on videos of girls clad only in knee socks, making out with each other. It's all part of the same, deliberately crafted corporate identity. They're Playboy. Their entire enterprise is built on giving guys something to spank it to.
You don't have to some stuffy anti-porn zealot to grok that there's a reason some thngs are called adult entertainment. And while a girl may not fully understand what the rabbit around her neck represents, rest assured that plenty of grownups get the symbolism. And who in their right minds would be cool with a daughter advertising herself as a mini-Playmate? Wait, don't answer that. Are they the same kind of people who'd dress a toddler up as a hooker?
Growing up is a natural process for every girl. And the child who was clutching a teddy bear just a short time ago may someday grow into Miss June. But the objectification of younger and younger females – from padded bras to Playboy bunnies — turns girls' burgeoning sexuality into something that's not for their pleasure at all. It teaches them instead that they're playthings, to be displayed and logoed and ogled. Once upon a time, the word "diva" was applied to a female of power, grace and talent. Now, it just means a store where you can trick out your daughter like a centerfold.

WWE RAW 1000: Why CM Punk's Character Change Is Good for Him and the FansJuly 25, 2012
Throughout CM Punk's lengthy title reign, he was somehow consistently overshadowed. No matter what he did or who he fought, Punk played second fiddle to John Cena by being bumped from every pay-per-view main event, in spite of holding the WWE Championship. Punk was left off the top of the card so Cena could face the likes of John Laurinaitis, the Big Show, and part-timers like the Rock and Brock Lesnar.
After holding the top prize in the company for so long, Punk's character had plateaued. Why? Because he had nothing to chase, no injustice to correct, no wrong to be upset over. As charismatic as Punk is, that extra fire and palpable feeling of desire for change was missing.
At the end of the 1000th episode of Monday Night RAW, Punk outshone everyone. His presence went unnoticed by none. He walked out with his title as Cena was left lying motionless in the ring. The monstrous Big Show was down for the count as well.
Punk's biggest statement by far came when he knocked out the People's Champion, The Rock. It wasn't just the fact that he did it, but it was how he did it. He came out of nowhere to interrupt the "most electrifying move in sports entertainment," the People's Elbow. When he clotheslined the Rock, you could hear the air get sucked out of the building and the shock come over those in attendance.
And it wasn't simply that you couldn't help but notice Punk. With his actions and his conviction, he commanded you to notice.
Punk sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe with what he did. At the end of the monumental episode, Punk stood taller than today's top superstars in the company. He imposed his will upon one of the most beloved living legends in WWE history,
Punk even managed to add that old cockiness and swagger (the kind that only CM Punk can offer) when he stalked the Rock, waiting to hit the GTS, just like the Rock had done to so many competitors before he would hit the Rock Bottom.
For those crying fowl, saying Punk's heel turn was a poorly timed, unnecessary mistake, think of how the entertainment value here is maximized. The WWE roster is incredibly thin when it comes to good heel characters. I mean wrestlers with seriously convincing heel personas that can get under your skin and draw your hatred.
And very few, if any, are better at that than CM Punk.
Some argue that Punk did not make a heel turn. Perhaps this will tweak his character a little, give him more of an edge. Or maybe he's more of a tweener than a heel.
Regardless of how you choose to classify Punk, one thing is for sure: An angry, frustrated CM Punk who speaks his mind and goes against the grain to get what he wants is compelling television. Punk is always trying to get his point across, that he's the "best in the world." Now, he gets to rub it in everyone's face while he tries adamantly to prove it on a weekly basis. Hopefully Punk has plenty of "pipe bombs" coming soon. Because he finally has everyone's attention now.
So if you're a WWE fan, you can complain (a completely valid reaction which you can take advantage of by using the comment section!) or you can sit back...and enjoy the ride.

The Spectre of Frozen Pipes Should be Incentive for Precautionary action by Business and Home Owners.
NYC, NY (PRWEB) December 15, 2013
Hub Plumbing and Mechanical Services, a West Village-based provider of expert plumbing and heating service to the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens's communities for 15 years, is warning business and home owners to be aware that varying weather patterns could still result in frozen pipes and the issues that come along with them.
Over the last few weeks the Metro-New York City area has seen weather patterns where temperatures have swung 20 to 30 degrees over a period of two to three days where an exceptionally cold period is sandwiched between two periods of warm weather. Those with homes and businesses need to realize that it does not take long for pipes to freeze and warm weather following the cold does not mean that the frozen pipes may not cause problems. The results could be ruptured pipes in both plumbing and heating systems which could result in flooding and internal damage that can be exceptional in both the scope of damage and the costs to repair.
These issues can be addressed quickly with an inspection of the system and precautionary steps that can make it more difficult for pipes to freeze during the season. Additionally, identifying any existing leaks prior to a pipe freezing will ensure that a pipe that does start to freeze does not rupture as quickly or easily. The team at Hub Plumbing and Mechanical, with over 15 years of dealing with issues involving frozen pipes as well as a multitude of plumbing and heating system issues, can help a business or home owner assess their current situation, identify problems and existing issues as well as repair issues and prepare for the coming winter months.
Established in 1999, Hub Plumbing and Mechanical serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens with expert plumbing and heating service including Boiler Division violation removal, inspections, signoffs, permits, remodels, pipe repairs, and boilers. Our top-notch plumbers were hand-picked and trained in-house to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction available. Hub Plumbing & Mechanical is also available to consult with Professional Engineers and registered architects to determine the most advantageous process to getting the job done. Founder and CEO John Wood is a New York City Master Plumber (Lic. #2305) and New York State Certified Backflow Prevention Specialist (Cert. #10086). Having been in the trade his whole life, John takes a direct, 'hands-on' approach to his work and his crew, with customer satisfaction and professionalism at the forefront at all times.

Behind-the-scenes of filming our Disneyland Secrets Video for BuzzFeed.
Abe and I have been meaning to film something for BuzzFeed about Disney for a while, but we've both been too busy to drive all the way to Anaheim and shoot it. Today is our lucky day! We are making a Disneyland Secrets video with my two park-hopper tickets that I happen to have.
You'll be able to see all our secret Disney adventures once he edits/uploads it. We got to pilot the steamboat, which is probably the most exciting part…
…in the meantime, I can share with you one of our tips – the best food at Disney (much like in real life) can be found in New Orleans.
Vegan Gumbo. It's huge! We split the entire order, including the yummy sourdough bread bowl.
We are turning back into pumpkins before the sun sets on beautiful Main Street. As you can see all the Christmas decorations are up, so it's extra magical.
Speaking of pumpkins, I can't believe I met Cinderella's Fairy Godmother! She called Abe "My Prince Charming" of course.
For more Disney posts with me and Abe, you can revisit our last trip to Anaheim, or our Disneyworld Vacation!

Can't get to your national marine sanctuaries? Thanks to the wonders of 360-degree photography and virtual reality, these underwater treasures now are as close as the tips of your fingers. NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries has launched a virtual dive gallery, complete with immersive 360-degree views of five national marine sanctuaries: American Samoa, Florida Keys, Flower Garden Banks, Gray's Reef, and Thunder Bay.
In earlier days of ocean exploration, adventurer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau amazed the world with his stunning video footage of the underwater places he visited. His film The Silent Worldopened up an undersea realm that few would otherwise have had the opportunity to see. Now, we're taking Cousteau's vision a step further by creating a library of virtual dive experiences that you can experience and interact with from your smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.
The virtual dives take users underwater for a scuba diver's view of your national marine sanctuaries, allowing you to navigate through the dive sites as if you were there in person. In addition to the striking imagery, the virtual experience helps highlight NOAA's efforts to monitor issues such as marine debris, ocean noise, invasive species, and changes in habitat and animal health.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report one major trend emerging from the recent recession is that an ever greater number of consumers are researching ordinary home products – not just electronics and high-end fashion – before they make their shopping trips to their local mall or big-box store.
"Some 62% of shoppers," the WSJ reports, "say they search for deals online for at least half of their shopping trips, according to a survey by consulting firm Booz & Co. and trade group Grocery Manufacturers."
And Internet marketing firms are not just concerned with national or regional advertising. Local search is, or should be, an ever-more important aspect of all retailers, according to the newspaper report.
"Google Inc.'s user queries for local searches (like store locations), coupons, recipes and product reviews have doubled or tripled year on year," Google's national industry director for consumer-product companies, Kevin Kells told the WSJ. "Those are just proxies for this more informed, more sophisticated shopper," he says. "The shopper is saying 'I can't really afford to be wrong.' "
"It's well known that consumers research expensive products like electronics online," according to the piece in America's leading business paper, "but coming out of the recession, consumers are more scrupulous about researching their everyday products such as diapers and detergent, too. More than a fifth of them also research food and beverages, nearly a third research pet products and 39% research baby products, even though they ultimately tend to buy those products in stores, according to WSL Strategic Retail, a consulting firm."
This has led both large and small retailers, as well as name-brand manufacturers, "to target customers via blogs, social-media sites such as Facebook and Twitter and campaigns on retail sites, in addition to in-store campaigns."
The devolution of online market research by consumers from high-end items to ordinary household goods, should serve as a shot across the bow for both large and small retailers. It is no longer sufficient to have a static website to serve customers, an interactive online marketing effort, with a large social media marketing component, is becoming the price to compete for everyday consumer spending and not just their discretionary household spending.

The rookies have come to town, headed to Colorado to play against (more experienced) Avalanche and Ducks rookies, losing both games. Meanwhile, those with under 50 games of NHL experience have been getting drilled by the NHL Sharks staff.
Starting Thursday, the rest of the guys (not still in World Cup of Hockey participation) will have their chance, and a few try out players will be seeking a contract (including some prospects).
The U50 and rookies have been skating and scrimmaged on Wednesday. I noted that many of the drills seem to focus on speed – both offensively and defensively. (Woe to the defenseman or forward who needs to improve his edge work. It'll be obvious to the casual viewer that improvement is needed.) Guessing this is a chance for the organization to identify which players can skate faster/fastest, which was an issue against the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Sharks appear to be about $1m under the cap to start the season (this may change, slightly, as players are assigned to Worcester and the NHL roster clarifies).
The initial camp roster has no veteran PTOs (Professional Try Out). This means that the Sharks really do want to give their younger players a chance to play their way onto the NHL roster. There are seven prospect try outs on the roster, the same as the initial rookie camp roster. (Two haven't been seen since the rookie camp "ended", but no releases have been announced.) With 45 players under contract (two which can slide if they don't make the NHL roster), there is room to sign some of those try out players, or vets on PTOs around the league for more depth. (Last season the Sharks did bring Zubrus in on a PTO, but that was after the season started and camp ended.)
Should be a competitive camp. Vets should not be complacent and rookies may surprise. The action starts Friday on the ice.

And I will have no more of this in my Free ACF Bulletin thread.....

Back in November, long before I'd seen most of the major contenders, I made some early predictions that obviously are outdated now. Now, I have revised my predictions into what I think is likely to be a pretty accurate list of likely nominees for the Oscar for Best Picture.
I'm listing nine films instead of ten, because I believe there will only be eight or nine nominees for Best Picture. If there are only eight nominees, then I believe the first eight films on this list will get nominated (meaning the last film on the list would not get nominated, obviously).
Here is my full list of predictions for the Academy Award for Best Picture...
I think the final list of official nominees will be from that list. However, since the Oscars are notorious for occasional unexpected snubs and unlikely nominees, here are my dark horse candidates that might sneak in if the list of nominees extends to ten films or if one of the films on my above list gets bumped:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
I'd rank these dark horses in pretty much that order of likelihood of getting a shot at a nomination, too.
But despite dark horse candidates and the possibility of snubs and other such considerations, I do think my list of nine nominees will end up being mostly correct, if not completely accurate. My guess is that when the nominees are announced, all of them will be from among the films named here, and either all of them or all but one of them will be from my list of likely actual nominees (with perhaps one coming from the dark horse list).

Swimming in a sea of myths
Yoon S. Byun/Globe Staff
MYTH: Theres nothing to drink besides rum.
REALITY: How about Curaçao? The liqueur takes its name from the country where 15th-century Spaniards sowed Valencia oranges whose trees did poorly in the islands soil. Left to run amok, the wild Laraha rind was later found to produce a pleasing liqueur. The Senior family distillery in the Chobolobo Mansion produces Blue Curaçao, the only brand made from local oranges, and welcomes visitors. But dont dismiss rum until youve tried rhum agricole. Its not the same drink. Unlike the elixir of ubiquitous Caribbean cocktails distilled from the molasses byproduct of sugar-making, this is a sipping rum distilled from raw sugar cane juice. Martiniques La Mauny, JM, and Neisson labels are the ones to try.

I can get a picture today...it has rubber wheels, the levers for adjusting plow depth are two long handles facing front of plow. trip rope goes to a handle on the right side as you face the front of the plow. I would say it must be gear box you mentioned as I see no open gears. It has small patches of light blueish paint on it so I suspect a faded John Deere? Picked it up for $50.00 at an state sale and am plannin on using it to plow up an acre for our family garden. Who made it does'nt really matter to me that much other than I just am curious.

The gospel music of Elvis has a magic that has stood the test of time, from his childhood, til long after his death. It is still selling off the music shelves, still being played, still being sung, still being remembered. The phenomenon Elvis created, his music and soul, will never die as long as there are people whose memories include him.
Take a stroll through the sounds of the past with Jim Anderson as he recreates the music of Elvis' gospel songs, and pays tribute to the two kings; the King of Rock and Roll, and the King of Kings.

Rage Against the Machine have always been a band of intense purpose, and the quartet erupted with a furious new mission on Friday at a show protesting Arizona's new anti-immigration law at L.A.'s Hollywood Palladium. The night raised money for immigrants' rights groups and the Sound Strike artist boycott against the state, all in anticipation of this week's implementation of the controversial SB 1070.
"Tonight and every night, we need to stand up for our brothers and sisters," shouted singer Zack de la Rocha, who spent the night rushing and hopping across the stage, nearly colliding with the band. "Si se puede! Si se puede!"
Check out photos from Rage Against the Machine's fierce hometown show.
It was Rage's first true hometown show in a decade — they last played within Los Angeles city limits at a free concert outside the 2000 Democratic National Convention that ended with fans scuffling with cops; and two weeks later, Rage performed (and recorded) a pair of shows at the Olympic Auditorium before breaking up soon after.
Since reuniting in 2007, Rage have delivered at full, furious power, and the Palladium show was more merciless, contemporary hard rock: brutal beats and arch basslines, panicked vocals wailing and rapping like a police siren, the strum and screech of Morello's guitar. Standing at stage right was producer Rick Rubin, watching again as Rage sent the night's crowd into spasms of moshing and fist-pumping singalongs.
The 14-song set began with the agitated riff and beats of "Testify," guitarist Tom Morello raising his left fist in the air while plucking the strings with his right as de la Rocha shook his curls and launched into the air. The 4,000-capacity dance hall was ideally suited to the moment, with band and fans bouncing and shouting together in close proximity. As a surprising intro to the explosive "Bulls On Parade," Morello built waves of subtle lines that sounded like a whale cry, closing with bursts of staccato scratching. Later came a blast of '70s agit-pop with the Clash's "White Riot," reinterpreting the punk anthem as a belligerent rock stomp fueled by bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk.
There were no new songs yet from Rage, but material dating to the band's 1992 debut album maintained their intensity and purpose. There was the blistering funk of "Guerrilla Radio" and the ominous, pounding fury of "Killing in the Name Of," dedicated to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a cable news regular and prominent supporter of the new law, whose department has been sued for racial profiling and criticized by Amnesty International.
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band provided an unlikely folk-rock warm-up for the explosion of Rage to come. Oberst brought his own fire, leading a muscular, rolling thunder revue, slashing at an electric guitar and shouting on "Roosevelt Room" of dirty politics and hard times at home: "There's no blankets for the winter, there's no oil in the lamp / And I'd like to write my congressman, but I can't afford the stamp . . ."
Oberst and his five-man band blazed through the crowd noise most easily during wild rave-ups, but also switched to acoustic guitar for a wounded "Eagle on a Pole," set to bursts of folky soul, doing their best to ignore the expected knuckleheads chanting "Rage! Rage! Rage!"
When the night was over, the old wooden dance-floor was soaked with beer, and the crowd emptied out into Hollywood. Just around the corner were squad cars and dozens of cops with riot helmets ready for another battle for Los Angeles. Nothing like that happened, though it was a somehow fitting welcome home for Rage and their ecstatic, fully engaged fans.
Rage Against the Machine Set List:
"People Of The Sun"
"Know Your Enemy"
"Bulls On Parade"
"Township Rebellion"
"White Riot"
"Bullet In The Head"

After a day of outrage from Arizona Democrats over a Pima County Republican Party raffle for a Glock handgun – the brand used in the assassination attempt of Tucson Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords – House Minority Leader Chad Campbell said he will ask every member of the Legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer to sign a letter asking the party to cancel the fundraiser.Read More »
Nation gets first look at suspect, Tucson grieves
Wearing a beige prison jumpsuit and handcuffs and sporting a pink gash on the hairline of his shaved head, Loughner on Monday afternoon spoke just a brief reply when the judge asked if he understood that he could get life in prison — or the death penalty — for killing federal Judge John Roll.Read More »

Authorities on Sunday charged a 22-year-old man described as a pot-smoking loner with trying to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing others at a political event, revealing that he had scrawled on an envelope the words "my assassination" and "Giffords."Read More »
Shooting suspect's nihilism rose with isolation
At an event roughly three years ago, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords took a question from Jared Loughner, the man accused of trying to assassinate her and killing six other people.

Chemists reported development of what they termed the first economical, eco-friendly process to convert algae oil into biodiesel fuel — a discovery they predict could one day lead to U.S. independence from petroleum as a fuel.
One of the problems with current methods for producing biodiesel from algae oil is the processing cost, and the New York researchers say their innovative process is at least 40 percent cheaper than that of others now being used. Supply will not be a problem: There is a limitless amount of algae growing in oceans, lakes, and rivers, throughout the world.
Another benefit from the "continuously flowing fixed-bed" method to create algae biodiesel, they add, is that there is no wastewater produced to cause pollution.
"This is the first economical way to produce biodiesel from algae oil," according to lead researcher Ben Wen, Ph.D., vice president of United Environment and Energy LLC, Horseheads, N.Y. "It costs much less than conventional processes because you would need a much smaller factory, there are no water disposal costs, and the process is considerably faster."
A key advantage of this new process, he says, is that it uses a proprietary solid catalyst developed at his company instead of liquid catalysts used by other scientists today. First, the solid catalyst can be used over and over. Second, it allows the continuously flowing production of biodiesel, compared to the method using a liquid catalyst. That process is slower because workers need to take at least a half hour after producing each batch to create more biodiesel. They need to purify the biodiesel by neutralizing the base catalyst by adding acid. No such action is needed to treat the solid catalyst, Wen explains.
He estimates algae has an "oil-per-acre production rate 100-300 times the amount of soybeans, and offers the highest yield feedstock for biodiesel and the most promising source for mass biodiesel production to replace transportation fuel in the United States." He says that his firm is now conducting a pilot program for the process with a production capacity of nearly 1 million gallons of algae biodiesel per year. Depending on the size of the machinery and the plant, he said it is possible that a company could produce up to 50 million gallons of algae biodiesel annually.
Wen also says that the solid catalyst continuous flow method can be adapted to mobile units so that smaller companies wouldn't have to construct plants and the military could use the process in the field.
The National Science Foundation funded Wen's research.
Biodiesel Fuel From Algae Can Be Economical, Say Researchers
By News Staff | March 25th 2009 10:00 PM | Print | E-mail
Discussions on algae biofuel have been increasing as of late, especially as Venice has made its propositions to decrease the amount of energy it consumes and biodiesel fuel. As this article points out, benefits could be many. Algae--if developed successfully--would be cleaner, cheaper and easier to obtain than nearly any other energy source out there. In my opinion, as well as the opinions of many others, algae is worth the research. I watched a great video on this entire issue at newsy.com earlier today. It's worth checking out:

If I may enter the fray *wink*, I just want to say that Patrick Chan doesn't offend me at all, what he does do is make me LOL!
Seriously, how can you not laugh at some of the statements he has made. I mean come on it's great theater. *smile*
He is not mature, he has no class - at the moment. So yes, nobody is perfect, and yes every young person has things to learn. But if you say he has things to learn then you yourself are in fact saying he is not acting as he should.
So if he isn't acting as he should then there is something wrong. And enough with this young people nonsense! There are plenty of young people who do not act like this at that age. Fame hit him in the head, and hit him hard, not the first, not the last - somebody should give him a little shake, metaphorically, and get him to wise up.
Heck even Evan Lysacek put him down, hard, last year about his statements. Not that it did him any good, as it keeps on repeating and repeating and repeating.
One lapse in judgement happens. Two, sure. But this just goes on and on with Chan. But he's young right, so it's ok
If I may enter the fray *wink*, I just want to say that Patrick Chan doesn't offend me at all, what he does do is make me LOL!
Seriously, how can you not laugh at some of the statements he has made. I mean come on it's great theater. *smile*
Patrick's smile makes everything better He's such a cutie I can't not like him.
After this, now forgotten
I disagree. He's not bitter, just stating his opinion based on the facts as he sees them. I don't totally disagree with him, either. The irony of showing Evan actually doing a quad on an interview after the fact actually validates Elvis, because Evan didn't bring it when it counted which would require risk and courage.
Columnists are supposed to be opinionated and drive attention/traffic to the newspaper/website. It may seem "bitter" because of his history, and there may be some truth to that, but I don't think that is what is driving him to take these latest stances. The more attention that Stojko gets for articles like this, the more he gets rewarded.
Personally I think it took courage for Evan NOT to do the quad, knowing the flack he'd probably receive for it. But he did what was best for him, regardless of the criticism, and has been nothing but completely gracious and solid in his acknowledgement of the fact that while he didn't do the quad, it was the best decision for him.
The part where Elvis is correct, is that the Elements are not being understood for their difficulty. Male Senior skaters are quite capable of 8 Triple Jumps. However to execute those jumps with an additional air rotation is extremely difficult. Can you deny that? It means that even those skaters blessed with natural rotation have to work at quads. Elvis feels (and I do also) that they should be rewarded.
I kinda believe Elvis is saying that the rest of the judging should take place only for those who presented a clean Quad in their program. Similarly 3A for the Ladies.
This is not much different than barrel jumping where the referee would continue to add another barrel until a winner was reached. Whether you like it or not, that is SPORT.
Elvis is not negating the rest of the program but he is demanding a Quad for the Men; a 3A for the Ladies. It's kinda like one must do School Figures first and then Free Skate.
There is an Art to figure skating as their is an Art to Ski Jump. I would add don't be overwhelmed with 'artistry'. Young people must learn their craft before artistry comes into view. The only artistry I've seen thus far at the Olympics is in Ice Dance. Virtue and Moir are Artists.
I don't think most of the criticism has been about Evan not having courage. I think it's been more that the current judging system doesn't encourage taking the risk of doing a quad or whatever else is high risk and advancing the sport. Elvis appears to grudgingly acknowledge that Evan won under the current rules. I believe he's hoping that the rules will change with respect to the results in these Olympics because, as he states, the guy who played it safe won where the guy who took a risk and succeeded didn't.
Elvis does seem very bitter to me. I guess from now on, all male skaters must do a quad and all ladies skaters must do a 3A and risk irreversible injuries on one element just to make Elvis Stojko happy That makes perfect sense! Evan did not have the quad, but he and his cheorographers worked the system to his advantage. It's not like Plushenko's quad was perfect either, that landing was very shaky. Plushenko's performance in the fs was not worthy of an Olympic gold medal--quad or not.

isnt this the same article posted one week before?Or it is Volume II?
In any case what i dont get is why they didnt have the title
"The Night They Killed Seniorita."
Yes, it is the same article which has already had a thread. I am very tired of debating on whether quad is undervalued or not. Rather, I am waiting for the real action of raising the quad values by ISU. I think the quad has to be emphasized more than it has already.
Look at the Ladies' skating! Yu Na Kim and Mao Asada are practically on the same technical level with this "Olympic Men's Champion". Isn't it a joke or what?!
And again, good for Stojko to speak out! Though I have different views from his in the ladies skating. Ladies should skate like ladies, period!

Well, everybody that knows me knows my view on this, as I love *sport* & I love jumps!
And if figure skating wants to be recognized as a real sport it has to continue to progress with the jumps. Fact. Otherwise, remove it from the Olympics, as well as any other legitimate sporting event. Period. Put on shows like they do with the Ice Theatre of New York, or Dancing With The Stars, Disney On Ice, Stars on Ice, Cirque du Soleil. It has no business in the Olympics, or any other judged sport.
And as far as quads for men & triple axels for women go, yes, they must be MORE in points than any other element out there, be it a 3/3 combo. or sequence or a triple after the half way mark, et al. Since the quad is the hardest element for the men, then its value must be the most by far, and the same goes for the women with the triple axel!
As I stated in another thread about the quad, I would like to see a consortium of quadsters come together whom quad with regularity & consistency (e.g. Elvis Stojko, Timothy Goebel, Alexei Yagudin, Evgeni Plushenko, Stephane Lambiel, Brian Joubert) and state their case before a panel of ISU & COP judges/dignitaries/etc. to explain in detail how hard the quad is to master & perform correctly for the men, thus its point value must reflect this to the point its value exceeds anything out there, especially when in combination like a 4/3.
And for the women the 3A is even rarer, and I would like those women whom 3Axeled with somewhat consistency to come together (same as the men) & state their case in detail before the same panel as explained up above. Lol, in this case, the only women that could show up in all honesty would be Tonya Harding, Midori Ito, and Mao Asada. That's it, three, thus reflecting its extreme difficulty (3.5 revolutions; almost 4). It should be way more in points than any 3/3 combo., sequence, triple after the half way mark, etc.
I'm done. I hope this truly comes about somehow, someway. One can only hope...

Uricosuric medications lower uric acid levels in the body by increasing the elimination of uric acid by the kidneys. Uricosuric medications are used to lower the uric acid level in the blood and to prevent the development of uric acid crystals in joints and kidneys.
They are also used to reduce the regularity of recurrences of severe gout. Continuous use of uricosuric agents lowers uric acid levels and reduces both the chance of forming uric acid crystals and the size of the granular chalklike clumps of uric acid crystals.
The two most common uricosuric medications are Benemid and Anturane. These medications can be not be started with an ongoing gout attack but can be taken before or after one has already occurred. People should not take uricosuric medications if they have urinary tract stones or urinary tract problems, are going through any cancer treatments, taking a regular dose of aspirin, or have any kidney problems.
The most common side effects include headache, rash, kidney stones (which can be avoided by adequate fluid intake), and stomach problems. Uricosuric medications cannot be taken with antacids but should be taken with food or milk to stop stomach pain. A rare but serious problem cause by this medication is bone marrow problems.
Doctors typically prescribe these drugs along with colchicine or low-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the start of treatment, after a determined amount of time the doctor will advise the patient to stop taking the colchicine or NSAIDs.

text: The "next step" in baseball's labor talks may be a one-on- one meeting between acting MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and MLBPA Exec Dir Don Fehr. One person on the owners' side: "They have to get together and see if both sides really, truly are ready to end this thing." Fehr and Selig spoke briefly by phone yesterday, and will talk again today. Selig: "We simply can't afford to fail (in negotiations) this time" (Mark Maske, WASHINGTON POST, 3/17). Both sides hope to resume by Monday or Tuesday. Mediator William Usery: "I want to get a meeting as soon as we can, but I want it to be meaningful" (Hal Bodley, USA TODAY, 3/17). The AP characterized Selig as "seemingly in no hurry to negotiate." Even some management officials "were frustrated Selig was delaying" (AP/Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 3/17). ONE PRESCRIPTION: In the current issue of SI, Tim Kurkjian and Tom Verducci report that the two sides are separated by the following issues: "one year of free agency eligibility (and the compensation to teams that lose such players) and how to tweak the numbers on a luxury tax." The Kurkjian & Verducci plan, which would allow "neither side to claim victory": No arbitration; unrestricted free agency for players with at least three years service; a luxury tax of 40% on payrolls above $45M; a five-year CBA with a three-year trial for the tax (SI, 3/20 issue). STAY ALIVE: The AL is "working on a plan" to protect Cal Ripken's consecutive-game streak. "Although nothing has been decided, the plan under consideration is to force the Orioles to forfeit any games they refuse to play while the strike continues" (Hal Bodley, USA TODAY, 3/17). DOLLARS AND CENTS: CNN's "Moneyline" interviewed Braves President Stan Kasten last night. Kasten on resuming talks: "I don't expect a lot of activity until the NLRB action is finally decided." Kasten on what the league has lost: "So far it has cost a minimum of $300 million. We haven't totalled up everyone's losses yet, but that's a conservative figure for the industry's losses so far." On relationships with sponsors: "They have stuck with us and obviously they have some guarentees in terms of viewers, and those things will be ironed out if they are not satisfied with the viewership levels. But, right now they are all on board and we're expecting strong support" (CNN, 3/16). In deals with the Giants, White Sox, Indians and A's, SporsChannel regional networks got the rights to renegotiate if replacements play. The Mets have no such provision with SportsChannel New York (Richard Sandomir, N.Y. TIMES, 3/17). Univ. of Chicago prof. Allen Sanderson said replacement ball for a year makes financial sense: "If the owners win this, you're going to see a swing of $8 million to $10 million per franchise per year" (Rick Alm, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 3/16). NEWS & NOTES: Orioles Owner Peter Angelos proposes MLB be run by a "bifurcated executive: A hard-driving, CEO-type would take on the business aspects, such as marketing. A commissioner, a person of judicial temperament, would look after the integrity of the game, representing players, owners and the fans" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 3/16)....The Giants have sold about 9,000 season tickets, down from last year's record of 13,200. Giants Dir of P.R. Bob Rose: "The best we can realistically hope for is 10,000. This thing is really going to be testing our fan base" (Joe Gilmartin, PHOENIX GAZETTE, 3/16)....Two OH legislators proposed legislation barring replacement players from taxpayer- funded stadiums and arenas (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 3/16).

Occupational medicine (Oxford, England) 2016 5 27() pii
We report a case of a full-time worker with late undiagnosed HIV disease presenting as encephalopathy with motor features and a manic-like picture. HIV encephalopathy was a terminal condition before the advent of combination highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). Treatment with HAART, with follow-up in a neuropsychiatric service and rehabilitation involving the occupational health department of his employer, produced a successful return to work. This case demonstrates a remarkable transformation in occupational and other outcomes of HIV-related brain disease in the era of HAART.

One of my favorite things about going to the mall is the pretzel bites. Warm out of the oven. Buttery. Soft. So good!!! I've been looking for a recipe for quite a while that measures up to mall food standards. Thank goodness I recently binged on food blogs. I guess that is probably better than binging on food. Haha! Do you ever get sucked into the food blog world where you find one, link to another, and another, and pretty soon it is time to pick the kids up from school, you haven't done a darn thing, and yet, you've had the time of your life? That was me the other day. During my binge, I came across this recipe from Mel. I do love her site. You will too. Just set a timer when it is time to pick the kids up from school . . . .
1 cup warm water
1 T yeast
1 t sugar
2 1/2 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 cup warm water
2 T baking soda
coarse salt
3 T butter, melted
In electric mixer bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add flour and salt and mix until soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes. Lightly flour dough. Place in large plastic bag. Let rise at least 30 minutes, up to 60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 500. Grease jelly roll pan. Roll dough on lightly greased surface. Form 6 x 12 rectangle. Divide dough into 1 1/2 x 12-inch strips. Let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve baking soda in 1/2 cup warm water in deep bowl. Cut each strip of dough into 8 pieces. Dip each piece in baking soda/water mixture, stirring solution to help dissolve baking soda before dipping each pretzel. Place pretzels on baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Let sit, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Bake at 500 for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Brush hot pretzels with melted butter. Continue brushing until butter is gone. Serve warm.

Annual Wyoming Trip
I am preparing now for our annual camp trip to the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. It has been too long since I have gotten out of Phoenix, but this last weekend I went to Crown King in the new Wrangler Rubicon.
Speaking of which, I broke down and replaced my wife's Passat with a Rubicon Unlimited. It is my dream car and while she was not super stoked about having another vehicle I would take out and beat the crap out of, after driving it for a while, she loves it too.
I went to Crown King via Lake Pleasant this last weekend and incurred some minor damage underneath, the first thing being tearing the Evap Canister off on a large rock. I am in the process of adding skid plates, etc., and of course I went off roading before it was build up right.
Anyway, super stoked about camping. Looking forward to ski season. Got out of Phoenix this weekend which was cool.
Sorry to neglect my baby of a blog, but geez I have been busy and it is not ski season. This season will be far better.

Promoting Kinect and SmartGlass
After looming large in the pre-E3 Xbox One event, Kinect and SmartGlass took a definite back seat in this presentation, which was aimed firmly at recovering the faith of the gamer. In fact, Mad Catz, the makers of dedicated fighting game peripherals, seemed to get more love than Kinect - a device which realistically makes up much of the price differential between this device and the PS4 (a PS4 camera accessory will be sold separately, for $59). Kinect was showcased in Project Spark, the charming-looking game builder, and SmartGlass' twitch.tv integration, profile viewing and video sharing functions were showcased, along with the dangers of unscripted banter, using Killer Instinct. Interesting, both of these games were subsequently revealed to be digital-only and free to play.
Kinect and SmartGlass are both interesting technologies - with its video chat capabilities and polished-up voice command system, the new Kinect is a key thrust in Microsoft's bid to be the centerpiece of living room entertainment - the value of an unloseable remote control should not be underestimated. However, as a gaming peripheral, Kinect has not wholly convinced, and the new system will need to prove itself. SmartGlass, meanwhile, is an interesting concept, but the need for games to be built to be usable with or without a second screen is likely to limit its potential as a game changer.
Finding new markets
The wisdom being passed through many channels today is that Microsoft have placed themselves in a cleft stick: as a games console, they have not demonstrated clear superiority over Sony's offering, and have indeed taken steps which have led to anger among vocal groups within their core community. Meanwhile, the audience they seem to be looking for with promises of cable box integration and other TV-oriented features will be unlikely to spend $499 on a games console if they do not play games, when a range of media devices from the Roku box to the Apple TV exist at far lower price points.
However, there are two things worth considering. The first is that the core gamer and the TV addict do not have to be the same person - they only need to occupy the same household. If Sony have angled their marketing so far primarily at the gamer audience, while making reassuring noises that the PS3's current media offering will not be curtailed (streaming film and TV services will still be available without a PlayStation Plus subscription), Microsoft have made a more aggressive play not just for the living room, but for the living room of a particular kind of family.
This notional family is affluent enough not to feel the difference between $399 and $499 too keenly. It has members who watch TV in the evenings, and will benefit from cable box integration and the less gamer-friendly services showcased in the May launch event. However, it also has members who play games after school or at night, when the primary TV is not in demand, who are looking for a full-specced gaming device, but do not have a decade of platform loyalty. It may well be making its first console purchase.
This picture may look rather suburban - it is - but it is certainly a market, and if Microsoft can work out how to balance its propositions it is a solid and profitable one. Microsoft has the option of continuing to push away from the Xbox 360's proposition, relying on brand-loyal gamers for early sales while targeting this family audience and building downwards as component prices drop, rather than continuing to fight Sony for the core gamer.
Jesse Divnich of EEDAR (Electronic Entertainment Design and Research, sees virtue in this approach, telling Forbes.com that Microsoft does not need to make any immediate response to Sony's pricing:
It does sound like Microsoft and Sony have two differentiating strategies with their next-generation consoles, and we understand Microsoft's long-term strategic goal of turning the Xbox One into an all-in-one entertainment box that services the whole family.
Pricing is always a crucial part of the consumer decision making process, but these are consoles that are going to be sold on the market for the next eight years, and there will be plenty of opportunities to shift prices over time.
Box clever?
This console generation was always going to be a tough battle - on one hand, casual and social games are increasingly available on mobile platforms and devices, led by the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 and the Apple iPhone and iPad. On the other hand - or rather in it, these same mobile devices are themselves becoming ever more powerful, and increasingly promising console-quality gaming. To which heap of troubles we can add austerity and economic uncertainty, and the law of diminishing technological returns making graphical improvements, although noticeable, less wow-factorish than the transition from Xbox to 360, and PS2 to PS3.
Notwithstanding, Microsoft appear to have assigned itself a challenging task, first taking actions almost guaranteed to stir up vocal protests among core gamers, and then gambling that consumers would place the same value on compulsory Kinect integration as it does. The business logic of these decisions is certainly understandable, but clearly not incontestable.
However, the holidays are a long way away. Microsoft has options, and a considerable war chest. What happens in the coming months will have a huge impact on the fortunes of the upcoming console war.
UPDATE: Just after going to press, a Microsoft representative responded to my inquiry:
At E3 we showcased our full lineup of blockbuster games, including 17 Xbox One exclusives, 10 of which are new IP. We also expanded upon our vision of the Xbox One platform and the amazing, new possibilities it opens up in the living room. We are excited to share more over the coming months, but we don't have anything further to share at this time.
So, exclusives, new IP, living room. More to come. It is, in a very real and beautiful sense, on.
Is the Xbox One DOA, or will you be playing DoA on it? Share your thoughts in the comments, or on Twitter.

Emma Stone is the friend we all need, according to Jennifer Lawrence
She will hold your hair and rub your back when you're throwing up
Remember that time when Jennifer Lawrence hung out with Adele and Emma Stone in November last year?
Adele, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. how do I get in on this friendship pic.twitter.com/SodQFer0TE— Ellen DeGeneres (@EllenReaction) March 11, 2016
Apparently, the Joy actress got drunk that night and because she's not really the partying type, spent most of it throwing up. Luckily for Jennifer, her gal pal Emma came to her rescue.
"I don't really stay out late. I'm kind of a bummer. I'm a nana. It's hard to get me out, and when I do go out I don't really stay out late. If I do stay out late and I'm partying hard, I will throw up," Jennifer said in a new interview.
"I don't have the tolerance to black out; I just start puking," she added. "Ask Emma Stone. It was the night we saw Adele in L.A. She just started rubbing my back. She was really sweet. I was like, 'Get out of here. It's so gross.'" Emma must not have budged, or else Jennifer would not have been raving about her.
We need more Emma Stones in the world, please (take note, friends).

Which dogs are at risk to develop bladder cancer? Transitional cell carcinoma in dogs is more common in older females. Scottish terriers, West Highland White terriers and Shetland sheepdogs appear to be at higher risk. One study found that Scottish terriers exposed to herbicides were at far greater risk of developing this bladder cancer than those that were not exposed.
Are there different types of bladder cancers? There are multiple types of bladder cancers. Some may start out in the bladder and others may have metastasized to the bladder. The most common bladder cancer in dogs is transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).
What are the symptoms of bladder cancer in dogs? Dogs with bladder cancer often have blood in their urine, strain to urinate, have painful urination, and urinate often. The dog may have recurrent urinary tract infections. Transitional cell carcinoma can sometimes spread to the bone, in which case the dog may appear lame. If the cancer is causing a blockage of urine, the dog may also vomit, not eat, and act lethargic.
How is bladder cancer in dogs diagnosed? The symptoms of bladder cancer are virtually the same as those seen in dogs with urinary tract infections or bladder stones, so bladder cancer must be distinguished from these other diseases. The dog's abdomen will be palpated and a rectal exam will be performed. The bladder tumor may be identified through these procedures. Ultrasound examination and special radiographs (x-rays) of the bladder may make it possible to visualize the cancer. In addition, it is necessary to obtain cells (a biopsy) from the tumor and examine them microscopically to make a definitive diagnosis. Ultrasound and radiographs of the chest are taken to look for metastasis (spread) of the cancer. A complete blood count, chemistry panel and urinalysis should be performed, as well.
There is a blood test called a V-BTA test that is used to screen for transitional cell carcinoma in dogs. The test is not perfect, however. If the test result is negative, one can be fairly confident that transitional cell carcinoma is not present. If the test is positive, cancer may be present, or the positive test could be due to other disease conditions.
What is the treatment for bladder cancer in dogs? Unfortunately, transitional cell carcinomas usually have become quite large by the time they are diagnosed, and because of their location in the bladder are very difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Removal of the entire bladder (cystectomy) has been performed in some cases.
Multiple types of chemotherapy have been used to treat this cancer, but the response is generally not as good as with some other cancers. Chemotherapy may be combined with the use of a drug called piroxicam, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can greatly improve the quality of life for dogs with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Radiation therapy has been used on some occasions, but side effects affecting urination have caused complications.
What is the prognosis for dogs that develop bladder cancer? Unfortunately, most dogs with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder will eventually die of the disease. Survival times are usually longer for dogs without metastasis of the tumor.
How can bladder cancer be prevented? Although there are multiple factors that may be associated with the development of bladder cancer, herbicide exposure is one that can be prevented.

While the 39th administration entered office on the promise of cleaner elections it was to be swept up in an election controversy of its own. SGA President Dawona Miller and Vice President Jon Quintanilla took up the reins after winning a landslide election and hit the ground running by working to update the Election Code, help create a grade replacement system and sponsor a live cougar at the Houston Zoo to be named Shasta. One of SGA's biggest accomplishments during Fall 2002 was the creation of a fall commencement ceremony for College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences students. SGA senators also took a trip to Austin to lobby legislators for more research dollars. They were successful in their efforts, but Gov. Rick Perry pulled the plug on the bill when he vetoed it. Throughout the year SGA members held town hall meetings, usually in public places around campus, so students would have an opportunity to meet their representatives and voice their concerns. Through legislation they managed to have several bus stops added at high traffic ares. Both Miller and Quintanilla, who served together on the student council at John H. Reagan High School in Austin, easily won re-election in Spring 2003, although they faced little competition. Miller was later accused of forging election documents and Quintanilla testified against her, splintering their friendship. — Ray Hafner The results are in SGA President Dawona Miller celebrates an expected win in her re-election bid as results from the 2003 elections are announced as challenger Nick Somarakis looks on.
