My 6th Sense & A Herniated Burrito
I have a 6th sense. They say that kids who suffer trauma cope by developing hyper-awareness to undercurrents, body language, people's energy, mixed signals etcetera -- because being able to read people and predict behavior keeps them safe. For better or worse, I have that thingy - and it can be entertaining, at times.
We were at Chipotle (a burrito place) yesterday and ordering to my right was a guy around our age. Since I was standing about a foot away from him while we were both customizing our forearm-size burritos, his energy hit me full-on. For whatever reason, it felt like a bug splattered on my windshield. He annoyed me - uptight, tense, pretentious, really self-aware, snappish (though he said nothing, this is only what I felt). I know, dumb right? For me to feel that about a stranger? But I'm telling you, my radar blips with that kind of crap.
So, the gal starts rolling up this dude's burrito and at the very end of the carnal act, the bulging, gluttonous burrito splits about a 1/2 inch to relieve itself. The gal looks up at the dude and is all, "is that all-right? or do you want a new one?" -- oh hello, it's ON. At this point, the fellas in my head who run my 6th-sense radar are cracking beers, putting their feet up, and taking bets.
I can literally feel the dude's blood pressure sky rocket to about 200/120, the pulse in his carotid artery nearly punched me in the face, and I swear he almost chewed his own molars if only so he could use his mouth as a weapon of mass destruction toward the gal, his jagged teeth as the bullets (which I'm sure would be bleached and damn free of tartar). After a full 5-second pause - our contained explosion, through his clenched jaw, hissed "no, it's fine" - most likely because there were other customers of his peer group present, and after a quick, careful, internal pro-con pie chart calculation - he figured it would be less painful to accept the imperfect, herniated burrito than to blow his cool (and his teeth) in front of the INCREDIBLY cool and chic people to his left.
In the parking lot, I watched him walk away and I was thinking to myself "I bet he's parked really far away" -- and sure enough, he kept walking and walking and walking. I wanted to ask him if he needed a ride to his ride, for the love of beans. Come ON! As we were pulling away, I finally saw him arrive at his car - parked so completely by itself, so far from potentially interacting with any other entity - that he nearly worked off that burrito's calories just in the to/fro. Yep, he's that guy who parks his car that way.
I turned to Tony and said, "Thanks for not being the kind of guy who has his panties so far up his ass about A CAR that he has to park it in another county. And by the way, thanks for not driving a mid-life crisis car, for not looking like you spend more time on your hair than me, for not having an overly-worked gym body, for not wearing the same jeans you did in high school, and for not being an uptight bug. I think you deserve something REALLY special today."
A suggestive grin spreads across his face.
"I'm going to give you a....
....choice of what I shall bake today."
Suggestive grin fades significantly.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Tartlets
I know! ANOTHER chocolate peanut butter thingy! Well, this is what we all get when I ask Tony what he wants me to bake: it's either chocolate with chocolate or chocolate with peanut butter. Once, he did say cheesecake - and I started backing-up and looking around for an alien pod in which I might find his real body, I was so taken aback by the request. Anyway, these tartlets? If there is a god, then god help us all. These are INSANE. The peanut butter filling is the best I've ever had - it will almost make you tip right over the edge of the cliff; seriously, it's the best peanut butter filling I've made to date - period. If you think you can handle it, make these - otherwise - save yourself, while there's still time.
1 c. AP flour
1/8 t. salt
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. cocoa powder
1/2 c. unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg yolk
1-2 T. ice cold water
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. cream cheese, softened
2 T. unsalted butter, softened
1/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 c. whipping cream
In medium bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and cocoa. To this mixture, cut in the cubed butter until it resembles a damp sand. Combine the egg with 1 T. of the ice water and pour over the mixture, stirring only until mixture becomes moistened; if mixture is too dry, add up to 1 T. of ice water. The dough should hold the form of a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425F and place cookie sheet in oven.
Now, here's where you have choices: this recipe can make (8) 4-inch tartlets -or- around 24 mini-tartlets, which is what I made above. If making 4-inch tartlets, roll out the dough and cut out 5-inch rounds; press them into the tartlet pan, with removable bottoms. If making mini-tartlets: depending on the size of your tin, use a tsp. or tbsp. size ball of dough and press it into the tin.
Place tartlet pans on cookie sheet and bake blind (using pie weights or beans) for 5 minutes; take out of oven and remove weights. Lower the temperature to 350F and bake for up to 5 minutes more, until crust has darkened. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Cream peanut butter, cream cheese, and butter with an electric mixer on high speed. Add sugar and beat until fluffy; add vanilla and combine. Fill tart shells generously and chill for 2 hours. After chilling, heat whipping cream in small saucepan to boiling; pour cream over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and stir until smooth. Cool slightly (until ganache has cooled, but is still liquid enough for decorating purposes). Drizzle over tartlets and chill for at least 30 minutes. ENJOY!!
Come to Mama, baby. Get thee in my pie-hole.

I saw these on Tastespotting and I had to click! Yum!
I just thought I'd add that I really love your blog - your posts are so funny and your stories always crack me up. Keep it up! :)

OMG, actually burst out laughing several times during this one. You're really on a roll today. Thankful I finished my soda as it would've been spouting out my nose.

Yum, those look and sound fantastic! Tony's no dummy!
I might have seen that same suggestive look on my Honey's face a time or two and then I remind him that the door's not locked. (kids!) I crack up everytime I see that crestfallen look he get after I tell him. LOL!

Soooo... you're basically saying maybe your 6th sense is a little off? That guy totally fooled you... he was normal :) But at least you didn't get punched in the face by the carotid (I loved that reference)
Seriously, keep on baking the PB choco treats, you have a serious knack for them.
And I have (ok more like HAD) the overly worked gym body. Guess it's fighting time :)

Hahahaha I love the story. The tartlets look delicious. And I can sympathize with the chocolate peanut butter combo. Anytime I ask my bf what he wants me to bake it's a choco PB combo regardless of it's form.

The story is hilarious! And no you aren't crazy about the sixth sense, I get it too. Usually mine hits, when I'm grabbing coffee.
Tarts look fabulous and gluttonous!
- November 3, 2008 at 7:34 AM
Heeee! Loved your description of that guy!
Also, a technical question - would this recipe work for 1 big 8"-9" standard tart pan?? (Please say yes!!!) :-)

Oh, thank goodness, I'm out of cream cheese or I'd have to call in to work and make these right now. Gracious.
I know what you mean about the sixth sense - I trust mine more than anything else. Unless I'm PMS-y, then I think *everyone* is type-A, uptight and pretentious, when for goodness' sake, they just want a burrito.
Speaking of which - I didn't go to Chipotle, but a friend and I went to a fish taco place last night, and I had a tuna wasabi burrito, with aioli. Holy moley, it was good. So good, I had the leftovers for breakfast and wish I had more.

Well the fellas in my head who run my 6th-sense radar tell me these pb-choc tartelets are great! Tony toatlly deserved them for not being that guy!

These little things couldn't possibly be fattening! Look how innocent they are in their cute widdle tart shells. How could anything so completely darling be bad for me?
Don't answer that. Just ignore me licking the screen.
Oh, and I am so with you on that tight-assed prig at the burrito shop. I can't stand those guys -- slightly balding with frosted hair that's all spiked up and they drive a Jeep or a Hummer or something with jeans that they purchased pretorn from Abercrombie. Yeah, I've seen those guys and had to be held back because all I want to do is tell them how revolting they are and how no one is fooled into thinking that they aren't washed up middle aged farts instead of twenty-one year old frat boys.

Sixth sense? - all I hear in my head is "I see dumb people". I always want to park right up close to them just to irritate them!
And I'm guessing there is a more technical definition for "bake blind" than keeping your eyes shut? Good thing or I would totally have to eat all of these myself!

Mona: yes, it would easily work for a 8-9 tart pan; in fact, you'd probably have some dough left over. :)

Where did you get that first statement from? I just wanted to read more on that subject as I know "exactly" where you're coming from.
Anywho, these little precious gems are pure evil and that's a good thing!
- November 5, 2008 at 7:55 AM
Ah, I had a buddy like that once until a few of us ridiculed him so bad he's pretty darned modest now :)
That or he's secretly taking blood pressure pills....who knows? Or who cares?
Well, I at least hope Tony got a taste of those anyway!

So funny! I've thanked my husband for the same things... and I too have suggestively offered.... to bake him things. His face falls in the same way and all I'm thinking is "where's the gratitude - sheesh!" :)

I was just informed that you have some great peanut butter recipes and you didn't let me down! This look fabulous! I want a big scoop of that filling!
- November 11, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Holy God this looks good, and oh my god I think I know the guy you were standing next to (we probably all know "him").
This recipe reminds me a bit of my best friends' momma's peanut butter chocolate cake she makes every festive occasion. It's not so much a cake as it is a tart.
Perhaps I'll suggest a renaming...

March Madness is upon us, folks. You know what that means, right? As soon as the NCAA Tournament ends, Masters week begins!
But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. For anyone who loves sports, March is one of the most exciting, most fun months of the year. In the spirit of the tournament, we asked our PGA.com Facebook friends to tell us: If there were a bracket put together for the top golf courses in the world, which courses would be on it and which would emerge as the champion of them all?
Many great courses made the list. We had to narrow it down to nine for this feature -- no easy task. However, based on the answers from our readers, here are the courses that appeared most frequently in the responses. As you'll see, while you could really shuffle these in any order and not many would complain, most would agree there's no denying the overwhelming No. 1.
Remember, if you've been fortunate enough to play any of the fantastic courses listed below (and it's in our database), please click its name to go to the course page and leave a review.
9. Fishers Island Club, Fishers Island, N.Y. Designed by Seth Raynor, this gem routinely pops up on lists of the best courses in the U.S.
Facebook fan quote:
"Fishers Island, sleeper pick." -- John Steinberg
8. Medinah Country Club, Medinah, Ill. Just outside of Chicago, Medinah has played host to three U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships. It will also host the Ryder Cup later this year.
Facebook fan quote:
"Medinah." -- Larry Huro
7. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Bandon, Ore. The first course at Bandon Dunes only opened in 1999, but it has received worldwide acclaim ever since.
Facebook fan quote:
"Bandon Dunes." -- Nathan Storms
6. Bethpage Black, Bethpage, N.Y. Aside from being a world-class course, the thing about Bethpage that truly stands out to everyone I talk to is the fact that anyone can play it, as our Facebook friend below notes. It's not everyday that you can call for a tee time on a course that's hosted multiple major championships.
Facebook fan quote:
"Bethpage Black... anyone can play it." -- Randy Williams
5. Olympic Club, San Francisco, Calif. Four U.S. Opens have been contested at Olympic Club's Lake Course and a fifth will be played there this June.
Facebook fan quote:
"Wow. I am surprised simply because it is super private and the average person cannot play it. That gives Augusta a huge bump. However, I think people are forgetting certain courses like where the U.S. Open is being held this year. I have been fortunate enough to play Olympic Club (Lake) a handful of times and it is without a doubt the best course I have seen in person, walked and played. With that being said, it is not a regular tour stop, but there are so many other fantastic golf courses out there. I might be able to make the Sweet 16 bracket or even an Elite 8. But from there, tough to choose." -- Joe Pike
4. Cypress Point Club, Pebble Beach, Calif. Designed by legendary designer Alister MacKenzie in 1928 (the same man who later designed Augusta National), Cypress Point is always in the top-3 on lists of best golf courses in the world.
Facebook fan quote:
"Is there even a doubt? Cypress Point!" -- Jason Bucci
3. Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pebble Beach, Calif. Arguably the most well-known golf course in the world and also one of the most beautiful.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Pebble Beach! Just saying... Hiddenbrooke top 25! Along with Olympic Club and a few other NorCal gems!" -- Paul Anthony Cutteridge
"I have, like most on here, never played these courses. But if Jack says Pebble Beach was the only course he could play if he had to choose one, then so would I." -- John Davis
2. The Old Course at St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland. This is the place where it all started... An absolute must-see for any diehard golfer.
Facebook fan quotes:
"The Old Course." -- Allen Sparvier
"St. Andrews is an amazing place and an awesome experience. I would love to go to Augusta to sample that fantastic place out. I will one day. Both places steeped in history. Walking round St. Andrews the hairs literally stand up on your neck." -- Mark Thompson
1. Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Ga. Based on the answers we received, this just wasn't a fair fight. Augusta National absolutely dominated the competition and -- in the eyes of our Facebook fans -- would no doubt be the champion of all golf courses.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Augusta National, without question, the champion in this scenario." -- Gary Weed
"Augusta would win it all. Every year! But the Final Four would be Augusta, Pebble Beach, Muirfield Village, and TPC Sawgrass." -- Craig A. Brown
"I gotta go semi-chalk here: Augusta, St. Andrews, Pebble Beach and Oakmont in a slight upset but not really over Pinehurst... of course Augusta wins it all they are the Duke of Golf Courses." -- Steve Medema
"My Final Four would be St. Andrews, Augusta, Pebble Beach, and TPC Sawgrass... with Augusta winning it all." -- Cleveland de Jesus
"I've been to the Masters and literally nothing comes close." -- Jace Magavern
"Augusta edges St. Andrews in the finals, Pebble Beach and Sawgrass round out the Final Four. Torrey Pines is a one seed that gets knocked out early in an upset." -- Seth Kennedy
"A golf course is only as great as the rounds, drama, theatre, and tradition it creates. For that, it absolutely must be Augusta National." -- Brad Patterson Pga
"If there's one course I would like to play for the equivalent of my last supper, it would at Augusta National. End of story." -- Cleveland de Jesus

William Patten (1820-1907) and his brothers, John Jehu Patten, Jethro Patten, James Patten and Matthew Elihu Patten all lived within the vicinity of Rays Mill, GA (now Ray City) and Milltown, GA (now Lakeland). They were sons of Elizabeth and James M. Patten. Their mother, Elizabeth Lee Patten, was a daughter of Joshua Lee, who about 1830 dammed the northern outflow of Grand Bay, and constructed a grist mill at Allapaha, GA (now Lakeland), GA. Their sister, Nancy Patten, married John F. Clements in Lowndes County in 1840.
William, the oldest of the Patten brothers, married Elizabeth Register on May 4, 1845. She was a daughter of Samuel Register, of Registerville, GA (now Stockton, GA), born in Lowndes, now Lanier County, August 31, 1828. The couple made their home near Ten Mile Creek in the area later known as Watson Grade where they raised 12 children. William Patten was Justice of Peace in the 664th district, Lowndes County, 1845-1848, and 1849-1856.
It is widely reported that William's father, James M. Patten, died in 1846. His grave marker bears that date, but legal notices published in the period newspapers clearly indicate he died prior to March 4, 1845. On that date William Patten applied for letters of administration on the estate.
Milledgeville Southern Recorder
March 25, 1845
Georgia, Lowndes County
Whereas William Patten applies for letters of administration on the estate of James M. Patten, late of said county, deceased-
These are therefore to cite and admonish all and singular, the kindred and creditors of said deceased, to be and appear at my office within the time prescribed by law, to shew cause, if any exists, why said letters should not be granted.
Given under my hand at office, this 4th day of March 1845.
William Smith, c.c.o.
William Patten was appointed the administrator of his father's estate. Since the legal rights of women were severely abridged in those days, William Patten also acted as legal guardian for his minor siblings, Sarah Patten, James Patten, Elizabeth Patten, John Jehu Patten, Mathew Elihu Patten and Mary Patten.
Altogether there were 11 heirs to the James M. Patten estate, and a distribution of the deceased' livestock was conducted at the March 1849 Term of the Lowndes Court of the Ordinary, with Levi J. Knight, Justice of the Peace, presiding and Thomas B. Griffin, Clerk of the Court. The livestock was divided into 11 lots. According to the court records, the lots were "numbred 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and were assnged to the distributees in the fowollowing maner to wit the names of the distributees were writen on another piece of paper and put into another hat. The hats were both well shaken. A name was then drawn from the hat containing the names then a number was drawn from the hat containing the number and in that manner continued till all were drawn."
William drew Lot number 5, consisting of "29 head cattle marked crop & split in one eare and under l— in the other, branded VV, approved to $4 per head" and took possession of similar lots on behalf of his six wards. William also purchased from his father's estate a crosscut saw at $7.00, one bed & furniture at $11.00, one grub hoe at $.50, one desk, powder canister & trunk at $2.75, and five bee hives at $5.37.
William Patten was baptized into Union Primitive Baptist Church on September 9, 1848. The church was constituted in 1825 on the banks of the Alapaha River by his parents, Elizabeth and James Patten, and maternal grandparents, Martha and Joshua Lee, along with William A. Knight, Sarah Knight, Jonathan Knight, Elizabeth Knight, Mary Knight, Josiah Sirmans, and Matthew Albritton. William Patten served as clerk of Union church from May 10, 1851 to 1854 when he was dismissed by letter March 11, 1854, to unite with Jethro Patten, Aden Boyd, Nancy Boyd and others in organizing Empire Church. The Boyds gave the land for the church, located near Five Mile Creek about six miles northeast of present day Ray City out the Sam I. Watson Highway, on Empire Road. Jethro Patten served as first deacon to the church.
William Patten remained a member of Empire church until his death. William and Jethro were ordained to the ministry by Empire Church and served as pastors to several churches in Clinch and Berrien Counties.
In 1856, William Patten's place was cut out of Lowndes into Berrien County and he was immediately elected to the office of Justice of the Peace in the newly formed 1144th district, an office he held from 1856 to 1869. In 1862 he was Captain of the militia district.
There is nothing in the 1850 Census of Enslaved Inhabitants of Lowndes County or 1860 Census of Enslaved Inhabitants Berrien County to indicate that the Pattens were slave owners. But like many other southern white men, both slave owners and non-slaveholders, the Pattens went off to fight for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Historian Gordon Rhea attributes non-slaveholders' commitment in the Southern cause to deep held belief in white supremacy, increasing isolation and alienation from the North, and the southern theological interpretation of biblical support for slavery. Near universal messaging from Southern religious, political and community leaders reinforced the fears in white southerners of slave rebellion, collapse of the southern economy, loss of status and privilege, and the alleged criminal desires of freedmen.
It is said that William Patten, John Jehu Patten, James Patten, Matthew Elihu Patten and Jethro Patten all fought for the Confederacy. It appears that Jethro Patten served in the 12th Georgia Militia. Jehu and James served with Company E, 54th Georgia Regiment. William served with Company I, 54th Georgia Regiment. Other Berrien Countians in Company I included John Gaskins, Fisher Gaskins, William Gaskins, Joseph Gaskins, and Lemuel Elam Gaskins. Matthew E. Patten's Civil War service is not known.

In 1865 William Patten joined the Masonic fraternity, receiving his degrees in the old Butler Lodge No. 211 at Milltown, GA (now Lakeland). Other members of Butler Lodge included Thomas M. Ray , Hardeman Sirmans and Jesse Carroll. William Patten was demitted September 18, 1880, and on account of the attitude of his church towards Masonry, never affiliated with a lodge thereafter.
In 1867 William Patten owned all 490 acres of Lot 385 in the 1144th Georgia Militia District of Berrien County. Lot 385 was north of Milltown (now Lakeland) between the forks of the Alapaha River and Ten Mile Creek. To the west, on Lot 384 his brother James Patten also had some property and the rest of that lot was owned by J. C. Clements. Lot 353 to the northwest was but a small part of the holdings of M. C. Lee. By 1874, William Patten acquired an additional 490 acres on the adjacent Lot 351 which straddled the Alapaha River.
In 1880, William Patten's place consisted of 60 acres of tilled land and 920 acres of woodland. He put in 17 acres of corn producing 60 bushels, 20 acres of oats producing 300 bushels, 20 acres of cotton producing 8 bales, 1 acre of cane producing 300 gallons of molasses. He produced well over 100 bushels of sweet potatoes. His orchards included over 100 apple trees and 100 peach trees. His real estate was valued at $800. He owned $50 worth of farming implements and machinery, and $450 in livestock. For the year 1879, he spent $20 on building and repairs, $70 on fertilizer, and $30 on labor. He had one ox, 28 milk cows, and 37 head of other livestock. His herd dropped 16 calves that year and he slaughtered only one animal. On June 1, 1880 he had 75 sheep. His flock dropped 35 lambs that year and he slaughtered three animals. Five sheep were killed by dogs, and ten animals died of stress of weather. He sheared 50 fleeces for 120 pounds of wool. He had 17 hogs, about 20 barnyard chickens and about 50 other poultry. The estimated value of all farm production was $530.
When the 1300th Georgia Militia District was formed in 1889, William Patten was elected Justice of the Peace in that district serving in the office until 1893.

New Acquisition – Supreme Command: Soldiers, Statesmen, and Leadership in Wartime
I've made a number of new acquisitions over the past few weeks. I bought this book to assist with an assignment on the command skills of Abraham Lincoln. Author Eliot A. Cohen (left), also examines the records of Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill and David Ben-Gurion in an effort to synthesize why they stand above others as leaders in time of war. So far, after reading the first few chapters, I'm quite impressed. Full disclosure: I own the 2002 paperback version of this book published in the UK by The Free Press. I recently purchased the audio version from Audible.com published by Blackstone Audiobooks and narrated by Robert Whitfield (a.k.a. Simon Vance).

Vision-enabled barcode readers with the ease-of-use and cost of laser scanners
Cognex machine vision solutions are essential to every step of the semiconductor device manufacturing process, from wafer fabrication to integrated circuit (IC) packaging and mounting. Cognex tools handle a range of integrated circuit (IC) package types, including leaded parts, system-on-chip (SoC), and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices and provide traceability throughout assembly. Vision tools locate features of wafers, dies, and packages under extremely challenging conditions and can detect low contrast and noisy images, variable fiducial patterns, and other part variations.Cognex supports a wide range of applications in the wafer and semiconductor device manufacturing process, including:
- Wafer, die and probe tip alignment
- Metrology
- Coating quality inspection
- Identification and traceability
Wafer Processing, Inspection, and Identification
Machine vision performs alignment, inspection, and identification to help manufacture high quality wafers used in integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductor devices. Machine vision automates wafer handling, enables precision alignment, inspects bond pads and probe tips, and can measure critical dimensions of crystalline structures.
Die Quality: Dicing Guidance, Inspection, Sorting, and Bonding
After wafer processing is complete, dies are separated from their wafers and are sorted into categories based on various qualities. Vision systems guide the dicing saw, and vision tools locate cracks and chips that affect die quality. Inspections verify resistor markings and assess LED color quality and brightness. Dies that have been successfully sorted are then bonded to their packages.

A South Grafton family whose 4-year-old son allegedly contracted a rare species of salmonella from peanut butter purchased at Trader Joe's in Shrewsbury is suing Trader Joe's and New Mexico-based Sunland Inc., the manufacturer of the spread.
Jason B. and Brandi Henson filed a lawsuit Thursday in Worcester Superior Court after tests on their son Jackson, 4, came back positive for Salmonella bredeney, a rare strain previously seen in small outbreaks in Alabama, Ireland and Northern Ireland.
While Jackson is recovering, the parents have paid $1,565 in medical bills and are also asking for court costs and lawyer's fees as a result of his pain and suffering.
The Valencia peanut butter brand contaminated with the bacteria was purchased by Ms. Henson several times from March through July at Trader Joe's at 77 Boston Turnpike (Route 9), Shrewsbury. Her son regularly eats Valencia peanut butter in sandwiches and with other foods.
Jackson became ill around July 31 with nausea, cramps and diarrhea.
His symptoms persisted for days following the onset, and he required two visits to a pediatrician. His stool sample tested positive for S. bredeney, matching the strain in an outbreak reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in late September. The outbreak at that time had caused 29 illnesses in 18 states. There are at least two other cases in Massachusetts.
On Friday, Sunland announced a recall of all of its products made in its nut butter production facility, including almond and cashew butter, tahini and roasted blanched peanut products. The recall is limited to products manufactured between May 1 and Sept. 24.
Trader Joe's last month recalled the peanut butter, citing the potential salmonella contamination.
Ms. Henson said she tries to shop at stores like Trader Joe's for better ingredients, and she didn't think something like this could happen. She is now suing Sunland and Trader Joe's because she says she wants to hold them accountable.
"We especially buy organic and all natural foods as much as we can because we're trying to protect our kids and be healthy, and to know that the food we're buying is tainted, we just don't want that to happen," she said.
Many of the brands included in the recall are labeled organic or "all natural." Major peanut butter brands like Jif, Skippy and Peter Pan are not a part of the recall, which includes nut butters and nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target, Safeway, Costco, Fresh & Easy, Harry and David, Sprouts, Heinen's, Stop & Shop Supermarket Co., Giant Food of Landover, Md., and several other stores since 2010. Some of those retailers used Sunland ingredients in items they prepared and packaged themselves or sold the peanut butter in jars labeled with a store brand.
The CDC's investigation, done with local and state health departments, identified Trader Joe's Valencia brand peanut butter as the contaminated food that caused the recently reported outbreak.
The Hensons' lawsuit, filed by lawyers James M. Brady of Worcester and William D. Marler of Seattle, alleges that Jackson suffered substantial physical, financial and emotional damage, that Trader Joe's and Sunland breached an implied warranty of merchandising and of the fitness of product because the CDC had reported an increase in salmonella reports in unopened jars of peanut butter since 2006.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges that Trader Joe's and Sunland were negligent.
Authorities have known about unsanitary conditions at a Georgia processing plant since 2004, and in 2007 ConAgra announced moisture from a leaking roof and sprinkler system could have promoted bacteria growth.
Usually, salmonella typhi, a more serious infection which causes typhoid fever, is the culprit in serious outbreaks. It is thought to have caused the deaths of Alexander the Great, Rudyard Kipling and aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright.

I have a tendency to fear hardware problems. That might sound odd since I regularly strip, clean and reassemble machines without a second thought. However, one or two of my possessions are true antiques, which means the chances of finding spare parts is almost nil, and one or two were bought in other parts of the world. And that suggests an added layer of logistics, in getting replacement parts … if an issue warrants replacement parts.
I thought perhaps I was going to be stuck doing that today, when the Inspiron went through a series of arbitrary shutdowns, some within seconds of powering up, and causing some minor data glitches in the process. When I did get to a full desktop, I noticed a severe lag in moving the mouse, slow window redraws, and a constant whir of the fans.
The bad part was, it began to do the same things regardless of the distro. I began to think something was injured on the inside of the machine, and I would have to do some serious analysis — the kind that makes you wonder if a computer is worth keeping or not.
But instead of panicking and throwing the entire business out the window, I decided to step away for a few minutes, and take a sidelong look at the issue. I like to do that sometimes: Occupy myself with a completely unrelated matter, and let a problem roll around the back of my mind for a while.
And so while I was cleaning the house and sorting out some papers, I thought about the issue and the information I had. In my experience, when a part fails, it fails completely, so suffering performance like that was unlikely to be anything totally busted. On the other hand, when environmental conditions become subpar, the machine tends to work against itself, which can make things move slowly.
And that seemed closer to what I was experiencing. And that got me to thinking perhaps the fans were the biggest clue, alongside the arbitrary power cuts. Both of those suggest overheating, and perhaps that there was something keeping the center of the machine from cooling properly.
And then I got to thinking, "When was the last time I opened the case on that laptop fully?" I occasionally shoot compressed air at the vents, but I realized I hadn't pulled it apart in at least two years. Maybe more.
So, armed with the belief that the software was not to blame, but that it was just poor hardware maintenance, I flipped the machine, pulled the four screws that held the keyboard down, and lifted off the heat plate.
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but the fins on the heat sink were definitely dusty. I blew compressed air throughout the center chamber, the fans and under the cards. I cleared out the PCMCIA bays and drive tray, and even lifted off the palmrests and cleared out a few crumbs.
Nothing terrible, nothing worth taking pictures of. But definitely a little unsavory.
And after reassembling, things seem to be better. Boot times improved, there is no more lag or redraw problems. I don't know if a proper cleaning made it happy or not, but the effort was not in vain. I'll keep messing with it over the next few days, and see if the demons are gone.

Arcangel Surfware.
On Saturday, May 17, artist Cory Arcangel will present a solo exhibition and pop-up store, "You Only Live Once," at the Holiday Inn New York-Soho, featuring a new clothing and lifestyle merchandise line, Arcangel Surfware. We met for a session at his Brooklyn apartment to talk about surfing tricks and habits, gear, and how things change for each generation of surfers.
Can you start by showing me something from your browsing history?
Most, I'm not going to say all the time, but more often than not, my deep surfs revolve around late-80s/ early- to mid-90s metal. (Laughter.) I've been going deep into Steve Vai lately.... Here's all my Steve Vai searches.
Wow, that's a lot of Steve Vai.

Update: Also check out the Best Android Phones in India for 2011 Also check out our news Smartphone Buying Guide in India for 2011.
The year 2010 was all about the growth of Android. In 2011, analysts expect the Android OS to explode'. In less than a year, Android handsets have grabbed a considerable share in the mobile market and they are still setting the sales chart on fire.
In India, where Symbian OS rules Android has managed to grab a decent market share. Now, more and more people in India are realizing that the Android OS is the future of mobile phones and are buying an Android based phone for themselves. However, the Indian market is flooded with low-range Android handsets which totally spoil the Android experience. So, below is a list consisting of the best Android phones available in India right now.
Also Read: Best Android Apps in Android Market | Best Android Phones in the Market
The Best Android Phones available in India right now are :
Samsung Galaxy 5
The only Android phone worth purchasing below the Rs. 10,000 mark is the Samsung Galaxy 5. The Galaxy 5 is a pretty loaded' handset which is pretty surprising for its price. The Galaxy 5 is powered by a 600 MHz processor and runs on Android 2.1 with TouchWIZ UI on top of it.
The handset also has a decent 2.8-inch 240×400 screen. The back of the phone sports a disappointing 2MP camera. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS, microSD card slot are also present. Even though the Galaxy 5 is a pretty cheap handset, it packs in HSDPA support. The Samsung Galaxy 5 is available in India for only Rs. 8869 and can be purchased from here. I would seriously recommend this handset to buyers instead of the other low-end Android phones like the Micromax A60.
HTC Wildfire
The HTC Wildfire is one of the most popular budget phones in India. It features a 3.2-inch QVGA (320×240) display. The handset is powered by a 528MHz processor and has 384MB of RAM along with 512MB of ROM. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS etcetera are all present.
Recently, HTC also started rolling out the Android 2.2 update for the handset in India. The HTC Wildfire is available in India for Rs. 13749. The HTC Wildfire is a decent Android phone to own but with considerably better competitors out there. Users who want to experience the HTC Sense UI should prefer this phone over the LG Optimus One. Readers can purchase the HTC Wildfire from here.
Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro
The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro is a power packed handset. The handset features a 2.55-inch display with QVGA display. The handset is powered by a 600MHz processor and has 128MB of internal memory. The X10 Mini Pro also packs in a slide-out QWERTY keyboard which is pretty remarkable for such a small form factor.
The handset runs on Android 2.1 with Sony's proprietary TimeScape UI on top of it. Sadly, Sony Ericsson won't be releasing any more Android updates for this device. The X10 Mini Pro is available in India for Rs. 15000 and can be purchased from here. A must buy if anyone in India is looking for a small form factor based Android phone with a decent QWERTY keyboard.
Samsung Galaxy 3
Before the LG Optimus One was launched, the Samsung Galax 3 was the best Android phone available within Rs. 15000. The Galaxy 3 features a 3.2-inch screen with an odd resolution of 240×400. The phone has a 667 MHz processor and 256MB of RAM along with 512MB of ROM. The usual Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS etcetera are all present.
The handset runs on Android 2.1 with Samsung's TouchWIZ UI on top of it. Samsung will soon roll out the Android 2.2 update for the Galaxy 3. The Samsung Galaxy 3 is available in India for Rs. 11500 and can be purchased from here.
LG Optimus One
The LG Optimus One is the best Android phone available in India for below Rs. 15000. For a budget mid-range phone, the Optimus One packs a 3.2-inch HVGA display, a 600MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 170MB of internal memory. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm jack and a microSD card slot are all present.
The back of the phone sports a 3.15MP camera with auto-focus. The phone is powered by a 1500mAh battery which will make sure that the phone will easily last through a day.
Even though the Optimus One is a budget oriented Android phone, it runs on Android 2.2. LG has even announced that the Optimus One will officially get the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update. The LG Optimus One (P500) is available for Rs. 12500 in India. Readers can purchase the LG Optimus One P500 from here.
HTC Desire
The HTC Desire is very similar to the Google Nexus One. The handset features a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. The back of the phone sports a 5MP camera. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS etcetera are also there. The HTC Desire is an old handset now but it is available in India for around Rs. 23000 now.
At this price, the Desire is a truly desirable handset. Readers who want to purchase the HTC Desire can do so from here.
HTC Desire Z
The Desire Z is one of the best Android handsets available in India to sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Unlike other high-end Android phones, the processor of Desire Z runs at a mere' 800 MHz. However, this does not make the phone a slow couch and it is able to beat all the older generation Snapdragon phones in performance easily.
The slide-out QWERTY keyboard of the handset is also pretty good and is one of the main attractions of this phone. The Z packs in 1.5gig of internal memory and 512MB of RAM. The back of the phone sports a 5MP camera with an LED flash which is capable of recoding 720p HD videos. The Desire Z runs on Android 2.2 with the latest version of Sense UI on top of it.
The Desire Z is available in India for Rs. 25899. Readers interested in buying the Desire Z can buy it from here.
HTC Desire HD
HTC recently released the Desire HD in India. The handset is made up of a single block of aluminum and has a very premium feel to it. The Desire HD sports a mammoth 4.3-inch display along with 768MB of RAM and 1.5gig of internal memory. The handset is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and packs an Adreno 205 GPU. The back of the phone also sports an 8MP camera along with dual-LED flash.
The Desire HD has been packed to the brim with features from HTC but sadly, the company has skimped on the battery of the handset. The handset is powered by a measly 1230mAh battery which will see this handset barely make it through a day.
Still the HTC Desire HD is a very good phone and is available in India for Rs. 27899. Readers who are interested in buying the Desire HD can do so from here.
Samsung Galaxy S
The Samsung Galaxy S has been one of the most popular Android phones last year. The handset features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and a PowerVR SGX540 graphics core. The Super-AMOLED display on the handset has stellar contrast and viewing angles. Samsung had launched the Galaxy S with Android 2.1 on board but recently rolled out the Android 2.2 update in India.
The phone also sports Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, microSD card slot, and 16GB of internal memory including 2GB of ROM for installing all your apps. The Samsung Galaxy S retails for around Rs. 26000 in India right now. The back of the Galaxy S packs a 5MP auto-focus camera while the front has a VGA camera for all your video calling needs.
The downsides of the Galaxy S include a plasticky build quality and no LED flash to assist the 5MP camera. The combination of killer internal hardware, screen and pricing make the Galaxy S the best Android handset available in India right now. The Samsung Galaxy S is available in India for Rs. 27999 and can be purchased from here.
So which is your favorite Android based phone in India? Do let me know through your comments.

Located in the New England Region of the United States, along the eastern seaboard, Rhode Island is bordered by Connecticut to the west, Massachusetts to the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. Appropriately nicknamed, "The Ocean State", Rhode Island has several large bays and inlets that amount to about 14% of its total area, and over 400 miles of coastline. The small, yet densely populated state, is loved for its many beaches, for the historic city of Newport, and for the capital city of Providence. From the unspoiled beaches of Block Island, the beautiful coastal farmland of Little Compton, to the city centers of Providence, there is much to enjoy.

1986 Porsche 962. Photos courtesy of Mecum Auctions.
Along with the stunning and all-conquering 1972 Porsche 917/10 we previously told you about, Mecum Auctions is set to send six other Porsche race cars with significant history across the block at Monterey. Whether you want to keep them hermetically sealed in your private museum or to flog them mercilessly on the track (our choice, by the way – always our choice), there are a number of restored and race-ready examples of some of Porsche's most dominant types from the 1970s and 1980s.
All from the collection of Steve Goldin, the cars might not be the most famous of each model, but each is an excellent example of the type. Steve Goldin is an avid collector and racer from Florida who was first exposed to sports car racing as a 15-year-old when he started hanging around and working with a group in the IMSA series. Among the highlights of the Goldin cars are a pair of ex-Bob Akin 962s.
Akin, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Jo Gartner drove chassis number 962-113, above, to an overall victory at the 1986 Sebring 12 Hours, perhaps Akin's greatest triumph as a driver and team owner. Sporting sponsorship from Coca-Cola, Domino's Pizza and Yokohama, the 962 is instantly recognizable to fans of IMSA's glory days in the 1980s and early 1990s when factory efforts from Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Toyota and others gave sports car racing fans something to cheer for.
1987 Porsche 962.
Another Akin 962, this one chassis number 962-C04, a later production car from 1987, did not provide as much success for the Ossining, New York-based team, but the popularity of the 962 – at least 91 were made – and a large network of support from both Porsche and historic racing specialists make the 962 an excellent historic racing platform for those that can afford it. This 962 changed hands a few times but has since been restored to the Coca-Cola/Yokohama livery when the Akin team raced it in 1987, with notable drivers Hurley Haywood and Vern Schuppan.
When the FIA announced the Group C rules in the early 1980s, Porsche set about reclaiming the sort of glory they have found with the mid-engine 917 a decade earlier and following plenty of success with production-based racers in the 1970s. The 956 featured a twin-turbo 2.65-liter flat-six with water-cooled, four-valve heads. Immediately successful out of the box in 1982, the car not only won Le Mans, but took the first three positions. The 956 became the dominant force in Group C. No one else was as fast, consistent or reliable.
In 1983, Porsche explored taking the 956 across the Atlantic to compete in the IMSA GTP category, but IMSA boss John Bishop balked because Porsche had designed the 956 chassis which left the driver's feet over the mid-point of the front axle. Also, Bishop, noting the absolute dominance of the 956 in worldwide competition, did not want to see the twin-turbo, water-cooled, 24-valve dominate in his series, which included the Daytona 24 Hours and the Sebring 12 Hours, two races that mattered on the world stage.
Porsche went back to the drawing board and lengthened the wheelbase of the 956 just enough to get the driver's feet back and they installed the 2.8-liter, single-turbo, air-cooled flat-six from the 935, a production based racer to satisfy. IMSA teams typically fitted engines up to 3.2 liters, giving them a reliable 600 to 650hp in a package that was built to exactly the 850kg (1870 pounds) minimum weight, including the built-in air jacks. Depending on gearing, the top speed of the 962 was as much as 220 MPH.
Porsche eventually adopted the 962 chassis for competition in the rest of the world, albeit with the engine featuring water-cooled heads, as the 962C. Even more than the mold-breaking 917, the 956/962 dominated top-level sports car racing from the early 1980s through the early 1990s, both via factory and customer satellite teams. A factory-backed, Dauer-entered 962 even won Le Mans in 1994. There has simply never been – and likely never will be again – a model of race car so dominant for such a long period of time.
1977 Porsche 935.
Another ex-Akin team car for offer is this 1977 935, further modified by the German Kremer outfit and featuring the flowing, exaggerated bodywork and Coca-Cola sponsorship as raced by Akin in 1980 and 1981, their best result a second place at the 1981 Daytona 24 Hours, down by 13 laps.
1977 Porsche 935.
A second 1977 935 from the Goldin collection on the Mecum list for Monterey is this Desperado, a car purchased from noted California Porsche dealer Vasek Polak to run in the Trans-Am series. After just a handful of races, the original buyer sold it to Cliff Kearns, who race it in both IMSA and Trans-Am with the word "Desperado" emblazoned across the hood and rear flanks. A subsequent owner took the car to a fifth place finish at the Daytona 250 Finale race at the end of the 1980 IMSA season.
1974 Porsche 911 RSR IROC.
One of our favorites is this 1974 Porsche 911 RSR prepared for the original IROC series. One of just 15 IROC Porsches from 1974, Its race history started out with a bang, Emerson Fittipaldi winning the pole in the inaugural IROC race at Riverside. After that, it's probably a race Fittipaldi would like to forget. Showing up five minutes late to the driver's meeting, Fittipaldi was docked 10 places and started 11th. Aggressively trying to work his way back up through the field, Fittipaldi went off and punctured the gas tank in the process. With only a handful of drivers moving on to the next round, the car was not needed and was sold just a few days later. It was campaigned extensively in SCCA and IMSA racing in the 1970s until it was eventually sold to Pablo Escobar. Yes, that Pablo Escobar of more than just a little notoriety. Who needs Al Capone's Cadillac? The car was transformed quit a bit, with a much larger win and front splitter. After returning to the United States, the car has been extensively restored to original RSR IROC condition and is ready to race once again. If you really want the full gamut of the IROC experience, there''s always this 1996 Pontiac Trans Am, which will undoubtedly not draw nearly as much interest nor money as the RSR.
1977 Porsche 934/5.
The final Porsche in the Goldin collection at Monterey is this 1977 934-1/2 (sometimes referred to as a 934/5) that was a Porsche designed specifically for IMSA. Bob Hagestad was the original owner who drove a bit, but it was Hurley Haywood at the wheel who piloted the machine to an IMSA title in 1977, scoring several wins in the process.
Mecum's Monterey auction will take place August 16 to 18 at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa. For more information, visit Mecum.com.

OTTAWA — The night before she was getting out of prison, Carol Ann Borrens lay on the twin bed in her empty room and waited.
She'd already said goodbye to her librarian friend at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ont., where the 62-year-old inmate had served six months on a drug conviction.
She'd already dropped off a small box of possessions at the federal prison's reception, to be retrieved on her way out.
There was nothing else to do but close her eyes, and let time pass.
"I didn't sleep much," recalls the blond-haired, blue-eyed Borrens.
"I was a little nervous, actually quite a bit."
The following morning, May 7, 2010, Borrens put on her black velour jogging suit — the same one she wore at Christmas inside the penitentiary — and walked to the prison's main door.
She signed her discharge papers. A guard accompanied her to a taxi, which took her to a nearby bus station for a 10-hour journey home to Ottawa.
"I didn't feel good until I was actually out of the taxi waiting outside the bus terminal, standing there by myself with my suitcase," says Borrens.
"I just felt relief."
The feeling was short-lived.
For many women, prison is punishment; life afterwards is the struggle.
Over the past five years, some 2,250 women were released from prison back into the community. They are far more likely to be on day or full parole than male offenders, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
They live in halfway houses or on supervision orders and adhere to strict conditions while trying to get their lives sorted out.
At the J.F. Norwood House in Ottawa, a 15-bed transition centre for women on parole or with other problems, Bryonie Baxter laments the lack of services available for women offenders.
"The system doesn't support reintegration," says Baxter, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society in Ottawa, which operates the halfway house.
She points to stable housing, education and mental health issues as the biggest barriers for women's rehabilitation.
"You see them being released into the community with nothing. And how surprised should we be that they reoffend?"
The Correctional Service of Canada doesn't officially track annual rates of reoffending for female inmates, but a 2007 government report shows more than one in three women, or 38 per cent, will eventually return to custody. For almost 30 per cent, it's because the women committed a new crime, as opposed to breaching parole conditions. About five per cent are violent offences.
This comes as the number of women behind bars has surged 40 per cent in the past decade, to some 500 inmates, and the population will continue to grow as a result of new tough-on-crime laws, such as mandatory minimum sentences.
The challenges of a growing and increasingly troubled female inmate population are not lost on Carol-Ann Reynen, warden at the federal Fraser Valley Institution for Women in Abbotsford, B.C.
Reynen says about 80 per cent of female offenders arrive at her institution with substance abuse problems, and almost one in three have mental health issues.
"They come in broken, right, and they have problems," she says. "And our job is to help them help themselves, via programs and employment and psychology and support. Often they're complex."
Prison programs for women touch on areas such as substance abuse, education, employment, parenting and social reintegration.
Tanya, an inmate who served a six-month sentence at Joliette Institution in Quebec for attempting to import hashish, believes prison programming is inadequate for life outside the prison walls.
She took a CPR course and some sewing classes during her stint but couldn't continue her college-level courses because they weren't offered to her during her short stay.
"The system undermines the education of the women that (pass) through. Their view of the ideal criminal is so outdated," says the 37-year-old single mother of two, who was released on parole in July.
"There's nothing constructive to do."
Yet the biggest roadblock to women's success after prison may be the community itself, say criminologists.
Jane Miller-Ashton, former director of native and female offender programs at the Correctional of Service Canada, says incarceration doesn't answer to the root causes of women's involvement in crime, which range from poverty to abuse.
She says society needs to be more receptive to convicted offenders returning to the community, in finding jobs or places to live.
"It's not just CSC's responsibility to tackle those lack of services and supports in the community," says Miller-Ashton, now a criminology professor in B.C.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said his priority is keeping Canadians safe by putting criminals behind bars.
But he acknowledges many offenders in the federal prison system have never been integrated into broader society.
"Some of these individuals don't have the basic tools," he says.
For her part, Borrens spent years in and out of provincial jails, mostly for fraud, which she says she did to support her six children. The Grand Valley sentence was her first in federal prison.
The grandmother of 12 also claims she took the fall for drug possession to protect someone in her family.
After being released on accelerated parole last spring, a law which has since been abolished, Borrens spent two months at the Ottawa halfway house and will be on parole until November, while living with her son in subsidized housing. She meets with her parole officer every two weeks and is still forbidden from travelling more than 50 kilometres from home.
She suffers from osteoporosis and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of terrifying experiences in her life, including a violent ex-husband.
Borrens receives $1,100 a month in disability and pays her son a portion of the rent, since she says she couldn't afford to live on her own. She spends her days doing housework, swimming at a local recreation centre, and visiting regularly with four of her grandchildren.
"At 62, with no history of working and all the issues I have, I'm not that employable," she says. "There's not many people that would hire somebody with the criminal history I have."
As for her future, Borrens' only plans are to stay with her son.
"It is still difficult," she says. "I'm very isolated. I think it's my age, I can't go out and meet friends now at this point in time."
As for a return to prison, there are no guarantees.
"I can't see it happening. I hope it never does. I don't plan on being in a situation where I would get in any trouble."

Analog Sunset at Ludlow 38.
In 2009, I went to an amazing event at 38 Ludlow called Analog Sunset, which took place on the night that analog television was due to be turned off in the US forever, giving way to the digital broadcast future. Three artists going by the moniker Off the Record (Ethan Breckenridge, Liz Linden and Phil Vanderhyden) had piled up a stack of old TVs in the space. As the appointed hour approached, more and more urgent warnings began flashing at the bottom of the screen; the announcers on Univision grew particularly animated. And then, not at the same time, but—with true analog precision—one by one, over the course of several minutes, the televisions faded away to static. (Auspiciously, Liza Béar of Send/Receive was in attendance.)
Later this year, the analog sunset will hit Australia, as that country moves to solely digital broadcast. To mark the transition, Emma Ramsay and Alex White are organizing a series of events and broadcasts under the name Tele Visions. They're looking for new and existing works that engage with TV as a medium; the deadline is next week.
Now, without further ado, here is our weekly roundup of Events, Opportunities and Deadlines, culled from Rhizome Announce.
From the inToAsia Festival.
Without further ado, here are more selected events, exhibitions, and deadlines this week, all culled from Rhizome Announce.
Artist Opportunities
Sunday, August 11:

More selected events, exhibitions and deadlines this week, all culled from Rhizome Announce.
A few weeks ago, DISmagazine announced it would team up with 89plus and Serpentine Gallery in search of artists who are #YoungerThanRihanna. The contest officially opens today and promises a cash prize in the form of two new grants; the two winners will be selected by international jury and popular vote, respectively. Artists, writers, architects, filmmakers, musicians, designers, scientists, and technologists are all welcome to submit, provided they are young enough.

This past week's two-game road swing wasn't very kind to the Dynamo, neither in the results nor on the injury report, presented by Houston Methodist.
The Dynamo lost three players—Eric Brunner, Corey Ashe and Andrew Driver—during Sunday's draw against Chicago and the loss at Columbus on Wednesday.
Brunner, playing in place of Jermaine Taylor while he's on international duty, suffered a sprained ankle from Chris Rolfe's ill-advised tackle in Chicago.
Both Ashe and Driver were forced out of the midweek match against the Crew due to strained muscles—left hamstring for Ashe and right calf for Driver. The Dynamo will be forced to once again shuffle their lineup, as they will be without up to six players who have played more than 700 MLS minutes this year. Taylor and Boniek Garcia remain on international duty, and Ricardo Clark is questionable with an illness.
The New York Red Bulls will face losses of their own, as Designated Player Tim Cahill had to leave last week's match against D.C. United early, and will be out for Sunday's contest with a ligament tear in his right ankle. Defender Ibrahim Sekagya will also miss the match while serving a red card suspension.
Injury Report Presented by Houston Methodist (As of Friday, Sept. 6)
Houston Dynamo:
OUT: Corey Ashe – Left hamstring strain; Eric Brunner – Right ankle sprain; Andrew Driver – Right calf strain
QUESTIONABLE: Omar Cummings – Left knee sprain; Ricardo Clark – Illness; Tyler Deric – Right thumb fracture
New York Red Bulls:
OUT: Tim Cahill – Right ankle ligament tear; Ian Christianson – Right fifth metatarsal surgery; Connor Lade – Right knee injury; Roy Miller – Left Achilles
injury; Heath Pearce – Hip surgery
QUESTIONABLE: Brandon Barklage – Left glute strain

At Sonos offices around the world, work is music and music is work. There's a soundtrack to every day in the office, and depending on who picks the playlist, you may be treated to classic tunes, brand new artists, or a little bit of everything. This series introduces you to members of the Sonos band and gives you a peek into what we're listening to at Sonos. Here is Lisa.
Playlists are great no matter when or what the occasion. But summer playlists are some of my favorites. What I love most is that I can pick one point in time, when I love the same songs and just listen to them on my own over and over or share with friends while entertaining. Nothing like putting on a playlist while you are hanging out with your friends and just letting it flow.
This playlist has a little bit of everything. Some old favorites like The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" and New Order's "Ceremony" (true classics!) mixed it in with new collaborations I've just recently discovered, like "Déjà vu" by Giorgio Moroder, featuring Sia, and "Yoga" by Janelle Monae, featuring Jidenna. As a true fan of hip hop and R&B, I'm currently obsessed with Miguel's "Coffee" and the new Nicki Minaj featuring Beyonce, "Feeling Myself". Check out their exclusive video on Tidal. Love it! Also included, two of my all-time favorites–I can listen to them no matter what mood I'm in and just start smiling–"Dreamers" by Savior Adore and "Wings" by Haerts.
There is a lot of energy in this playlist. It's summer, come on! However, I did throw in some slower jams like Mikky Ekko's "Love You Crazy." I caught him live recently at Sonos Studio in LA and I have to say it was one of my all-time favorite performances. He sings with so much conviction and passion, it really was a memorable experience,. Oh and of course, how can I forget Hot Chip and Vampire Weekend? Both bands just scream summer, with all the excitement their music generates. I love having a mix of music–from high energy to chill classics that just make it easy to enjoy whatever it is you're doing this summer: kayaking, hanging at the beach, barbequing in your backyard with friends. Hope you enjoy some of these classic old faves and that you'll also discover some new songs you might not have heard before.
Check out this awesome playlist here: Ra Ra Shish Koom Ba – It's Summer! To listen on Sonos: Add this playlist to your favorites on Tidal. You should now see this playlist in your Tidal music services' favorites on the Sonos App. Enjoy!
Contributed by Lisa Cardoso, Music Partnership Marketing at Sonos. Lisa works out of our Boston office and is an avid fan of music. Like any true music lover, Lisa claims there are just too many great songs and too many amazing bands to narrow down it all down to a single list of favorites. Which is where the real beauty of creating different playlists comes in.

Today's Texas Tech preview of pirate head coach Mike Leach is brought to you by Stephen Hagen. He's a Texas Tech alum and he hates A&M with unmitigated fury. So with only ten days until kickoff, enjoy his preview. Also, again, I'd like to apologize to all the people who wrote in requesting to do a preview. We just had so many requests that if you haven't heard from me yet, we're set.
Quarterback Graham Harrell and last year's Biletnikoff Award winner, Michael Crabtree, lead Texas Tech into what they hope will be their break through season in both the Big 12 South and the BCS. Texas Tech returns 18 starters (ten on offense) and rides its highest preseason ranking in 31 years in this season's quest to escape its reputation as the "also ran" of Texas college football. Harrell returns for his senior year and his third as a starter after once again putting up "holy shit" statistics last year (5,705 yards, 71.8% completion, 48 touchdowns and 14 interceptions is difficult on PlayStation even when you're sober). Crabtree came into last year with expectations that he would contribute immediately, and put together such an outstanding year that he avoided the "system player" knock. Besides the two big stars, Tech has more depth and talent on both sides of the ball than ever. If the breakthrough doesn't happen this year, then I'm giving up on football and throwing all of my support behind Tech's Meat Judging team. Mike Leach is entering what I think is his ninth season with Texas Tech (I can't be expected to confirm this. I'm a fucking volunteer writer.) They call him the Mad Scientist. I don't particularly like this nickname because (1) he's a lawyer by training, not a scientist, and (2) although he's peculiar, he doesn't exhibit any signs of dementia. Nonetheless, he's done a damn fine job. Regardless of whether we make big waves this year, he's made Tech recognizable and relevant. That is no small task at a university with a relatively isolated campus that has to compete with Texas, Oklahoma, Aggieland, etc., etc. Strengths: It's Texas Tech, so unless you've been in a coma the last 8 years, you know their strength is the passing game. They shouldn't miss a beat this year with ten starters returning. Crabtree's numbers will likely decline because of the added coverage he will draw. He's still a badass and should open things up for other receivers like Eric "The Elf" Morris (5'8" 177lbs), Edward Britton, Detron Lewis, and a handful of others. Seriously, in an average season, 15 or 16 guys catch a pass. At least early on, running back will be by committee with Shannon Woods, Aaron Crawford, and Baron Batch. Each of them is in the slightly undersized 5'11" 200lbs mold and they're each pretty good in the open field. The entire starting offensive line is back (although a couple of the starters are being challenged for their spots). The O-Line averages about 6'5" and 325lbs., and only gave up 18 sacks in 763 pass attempts last year. They also handled Chris Long pretty well last year in the Gator Bowl. (Side Note: If you watched that game, you know that Chris Long plays like someone put PCP on his cornflakes and lit a block of firecrackers in his ass.) Louis Vasquez is the name to remember, at least as the season begins. Gratuitous Leach Quote #1: "If you get into a fight, don't take your helmet off. We're looking for smart football players, not dumb ones. In the interest of time, don't get into any more fights today." Weaknesses: Six months ago, I would say Tech's biggest weakness is that they let opponents stomp a mud-hole in their ass with the running game. However, Tech has added a lot of quality depth to their defensive front seven in the off season (Tech only played 3 guys at DT last year in their 4-3 system). Chris Perry, Brandon Sesay and McKinner Dixon are all newcomers that should all contribute to the D-Line this year. Sophomore Coby Whitlock and junior Brandon Williams each appear to have the ability to play on Sunday. That being said, the real weakness is consistency, both throughout the season and in individual games. There's no room for a horrible loss to a bad team like years past with Colorado, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, New Mexico, etc. Look no further than the last two bowl games for inconsistent play within a game (overcoming deficits of 31 and 14 points due primarily to inconsistent play and penalties). Although it is especially not cool to get a 21 point first half lead on Texas, prompting me to leave a buddy's wedding reception in downtown Atlanta on Halloween weekend in search of a sports bar, then give up the lead and lose leading me to drunkenly scream at a television in the corner of said sports bar, all the while surrounded by southern metrosexuals in clever Halloween costumes. It was demoralizing to say the least. Gratuitous Leach Quote #2: "We played two games out here today. We played a very poor one the first half, and we played a pretty good one the second half. The first half, Baylor's three defensive lineman consistently whipped our five offensive linemen. I'm very disappointed with the first half, pleased with the second half, so it's kind of a love hate game really." Rival: Aggieland refuses to acknowledge that Texas Tech is their rival. The fact that we've beaten them in 10 of the last 13 games makes me obliged to focus on them. It may surprise people unfamiliar with the Big 12, but I shit you not that most Aggie fans think A&M has a top 15, if not top 10 program. Thus, they cannot be bothered with lowly Texas Tech (I'm not making this shit up.) Maybe taking only three days to find a new coach, but more than 3 months to find a new mascot. (Reveille VIII was introduced on August 11) is what leaves Aggieland from being our "rival in denial" to being our "trap game" at best. Also, we kicked the shit out of them in Meat Judging last year. Gratuitous Leach Quote #3: "Yeah, you've just got to work around the Corps. I think it's one of the greatest settings in college football, and they've got those guys with swords marching around. I'll make my annual plea that I think the opposing team should be given some swords too, and after the game, we'll give them back so the next opposing team can use the swords. I don't think it's fair that just one side should have swords. But I do think the Corps, in and of itself, is impressive. They march around there and sometimes you have to dodge between columns to get to the locker room, but you work through that."

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) Billy Baron and Harold Washington each scored 19 points as Canisius defeated Fairfield 67-55 Friday night in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference opener.
The Golden Griffins (5-1), who finished 5-25 last season, have already matched that victory total in their first season for coach Jim Baron.
Billy Baron, the coach's son, made 5 of 7 shots in the first half and had 12 of his points as Canisius took a 36-30 lead at the break. He transferred from Rhode Island after last season when his father left there to take the Canisius job.
Washington scored 14 of his points in the second half. Jordan Heath scored 10 points and blocked four shots for the Golden Griffins before fouling out.
Derek Needham, with 11 points, was the only player in double figures for the Stags (4-5), who had won their last nine games against Canisius.

If we are not training, hunting, or trialing the dogs, then we are researching training techniques, improving our kennel facilities, or speaking with other breeders/trainers or clients about dogs. This has become our main focus and we aim to please our clients with what we do.
Jersey was our first Breton. She came from a stud, Shane, of Fred Overby's. We purchased her from the renowned Butch Nelson. After watching her grow into a fantastic field dog we tried trialing. She earned a placement in her first run ever and qualified for Regionals, where she finished seventh in the Big Sky Region in her second ever NSTRA trial. She will only continue to get better as she progresses into her bright NSTRA career.
Diego came from Steve Broughton of Minnesota. Diego's parents are both from the world famous Frenchman, Patrick Morin, of the Kennel de Keranlouan. Diego is what Steve considers to be a prototype Breton, and it shows. He earned his TAN at six months old in Denton, MT. Physically, he is nearly flawless, and his skills are way ahead of the curve."
