We're back Dolphins fans….and so are the Miami Dolphins….Well, back on the practice field that is. We apologize for the lack of posts recently, but the Dolphins haven't been making much news, this being mid-June and all…AND some other stuff had us keeping busy. We're back now! As we mentioned, the Dolphins are too, as the team opened up their 3 day, mandatory mini camp on Tuesday. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what the difference is between OTAs and mini camp, other than that OTAs were 'optional'.
Thankfully, the media was allowed to watch practice on Tuesday and they'll be able to watch today's practice and tomorrow's. Below are some of the notable things we learned from the first day of mini camp. Please, please, please remember that this is a mini camp being held in June, so reading too much into any of this is useless.
QB Battle
David Garrard took a majority of the snaps with the Dolphins starters on Tuesday. This is interesting, only because Garrard ran with the starters in the most recent OTAs. At this point, some are speculating that he is the EARLY favorite to win the QB battle. Not a lot of comments about Garrard today, but apparently he was pretty solid (except for the pick 6 he threw to Sean Smith. Not much mention of Matt Moore today. Ryan Tannehill threw a few nice balls, but is said to be holding the ball just a bit too long and taking sacks. It will be interesting to see who runs with the first team today, since Joe Philbin said each QB would get a chance this preseason. My guess is that Matt Moore and Ryan Tannehill will each get a show with the first team in the next 2 days.
Ochocinco Impresses
According to Chad Ochocinco, Chad Ochocinco is off to a good start at Dolphins camp. You read that right. On his website, OCNN, Chad Ochocinco wrote a story about the promising start the Dolphins new receiver got off to. This is probably what we can expect from Ocho. However, he might not be Ochocinco much longer as the receiver hinted Tuesday that he might be changing his name back to Chad Johnson. To be fair, others thought Ochocinco had a good start at Dolphins camp. Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel commented that Chad had the best performance of all players at practice on Tuesday. Here's the Sentinel's full story, click here.
Joe Philbin said that Chad missed over 75% of the Dolphins offensive installation. To his credit, he was seen talking to the Dolphins wide receiver coach after a number of plays. Chad also said that he intends on toning down his act and focusing on football….We'll see
– Jared Odrick appears to be a beast thus far in camp. He registered, what would have been a sack, during team drills today and was disruptive.
– With Brian Hartline out with a calf injury (and apparently another, unknown personal/medical issue), Legadu Naanee has been starting at WR. Naanee is said to be impressive thus far at practices.
– Vontae Davis and Richard Marshall both practiced, returning from their injuries.
– Jonathan Martin, the Dolphins 2nd round pick, worked with at right tackle with the 2nd team. He's said to be athletic and agile….which is good for an offensive lineman in Joe Philbin's offense. He does need to work on his power/strength.
– Reshad Jones and Chris Clemons worked as the Dolphins starting safety spots. Both are considered front runners to win the safety battles.

A number of powerboats and sailboats sank or were damaged by super storm Sandy at Whiskey Island Marina.
The docks were shredded by the wind and waves too.
The Marina's manager says some boaters waited just a little too long to get their boats out of the water. He said just about every boat docked there took some sort of hit.
Seven or 8 boats sank and about 80% of Whiskey Island sustained damage.

Narrow your search
Consumers may crave electric cars, but fleet operators of trucks and cars are seen as the most promising market to first use electric vehicles on a large scale.
Automotive News reports on a new battery manufacturing contract and plant by A123 Systems.
IC Bus plans to provide 16 hybrid-electric buses to be used by several school districts, and anticipates other states will place orders in coming year.
The American trucking industry could save as much as $10 billion, or 3.4 billion gallons of diesel fuel, with new aerodynamic designs being tested at NASA.
To reduce air pollution, carbon emissions, and gas consumption, the New York City added 70 electric cars to its vehicle fleet.
Lithium-ion battery company's factory is part of its bid to bring large-scale advanced battery manufacturing for electric vehicles and grid storage to the U.S.
Operators of trucks and corporate fleets move slowly but are the leading edge of the move to alternative powertrains, such as electric vehicles and natural gas.
Public-private partnership finds devices added to the nation's trucks could increase fuel efficiency by up to 12 percent, saving the industry more than $10 billion a year.
Two-battery system for hybrid electric bus enables enough power for acceleration, while also providing capacity for sufficient driving range on a single charge, GE says.
A123 Systems, one of the few energy tech companies to go public in recent years, is trying to compete in auto and grid storage with manufacturing scale.

A home is not a home because of its room dimensions or the color of the walls. It is about how you feel when you walk through the front door. And the way you can instantly envision your life unfolding there.
This is about more than real estate. It is about your life and your dreams.
Why choose a team?
You might ask yourself... Why choose a real estate group like KG REALTOR Group of Keller Williams Advantage II Realty? The fact is, there isn't much more to the average agent than the agent themselves. Most agents operate a one-person show- and they're probably breaking their backs trying to do a good job for their clients. Most agents couldn't really work any harder than they're already working. They are the sales person, secretary, marketing department, service department, closing department, showing desk, accountant, telemarketer, and technology expert.
We know, because we used to do it this way.
But, we don't anymore because we found that our clients suffered from our good intentions. You may be sympathetic to the fact that an agent is working as hard as humanly possible, but if the quality and profitability of your home sale suffers as a result of them trying to do everything themselves, well…
You have a right to feel cheated!
The simple solution is that we built a team of professionals to help us be in 10 places at once, and therefore greatly enhanced the quality of service we can deliver to our clients. This is basically how other professionals like your banker or lawyer operate. On top of this, we've used cutting edge technology to dramatically improve the speed, efficiency and innovative capabilities of every part of the service we deliver.
We don't expect you to care about the fine-details of the inner-workings of our office. What you should care about is simply this: because of the highly unique way we've structured our real estate office, our clients' homes sell for more money in less time!
And because our team sells a lot of homes, we have extensive home-selling experience that puts more money in our clients' pockets.
Different by design
KG REALTOR Group takes a different approach to real estate, one that is built on personal touches, win-win deals and positive results.
My team and I utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to exceed your expectations. More importantly, we listen and that means we find solutions that are tailored to you.
How we can help
Thanks for starting your real estate search with us. This website is full of information for you whether you are looking to buy or sell.
After you have had the chance to review this information, contact me so we can tell you more about how we can help.

5. A.E. Montana // tree-rings
I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person. - Olivia Wilde
I have always been drawn to the serenity of the woods. I can remember even as a young kid wishing I was allowed to wander further into the forest behind our backyard, because there is something ethereal about the hidden vibrating life resting between the trees. There is such a sanctuary in nature, if you can manage to tune out every other thing that is constantly demanding your attention. This is where I escape to reunite with my words.
Life has a way of skillfully distracting you with shallow pursuits when you are always in the company of others. As much as I've grown to understand that spending time out in the world with people you love is important because you are gathering experience from which to write, being left alone to do the actual writing has always been a requirement because it allows me to delve into that deeper place in my heart where true expression is possible. My family and close friends learned early on that the announcement, "I'm writing," means that I will probably disappear from the world for at least a couple hours. Sometimes more!
Among others, my most commonly visited natural space is a quick walk from work, so I often stop by after a long, frustrating day when I've tired of the world in general. It's not too far off from the main walkway by the river but always seems to be unoccupied when I need it most. Underneath a giant (now) unused powerline structure, there's a wooden deck that juts out over a small series of waterfalls and is a perfect place to close my eyes and let the water scrub my mind of all the things distracting me on the surface.
You do not often discover the value of a writing space until you've had some profound experience that sears its significance in your memory forever. I've had more than a few in this particular spot, one of the more recent ones a few weeks ago when I found out my best friend's dad has maybe a month to live. The news wasn't as much of a surprise as it was a blow to my heart. It's never a gentle path when you know you can't do anything to take pain away from someone you love so deeply. Overwhelmed by this huge feeling of helplessness and grief, I stumbled down to this place and spent a few solid hours crying, pouring my heart out to God, and finally, after I emptied myself of everything, found some words to preserve in my journal.
Somehow, you can be more honest with yourself when the woods is sheltering you from the rest of the world, and the sounds of the river rushing by you are covering up your frustrated mutterings as you try to figure yourself out. Writing has always been a powerful tool of communication for me, but never more potent and effective than when I began using it to discover who I am and how I process life. The spaces I've claimed are a reflection of the life I lead and the peace I crave to find perspective on my existence and my purpose in the world.

Academic Senate Highlights
President's Report: Liz Estrella reported that the Dr. Valeau still wants the Senate to meet with administrators to discuss common goals, however he is unable to attend the November 22 meeting. The Senate will invite the administrators to discuss goals at a meeting sometime in spring.
Many new resolutions were passed at the state level Academic Senate meeting held recently. They are not yet available on the State Senate website, but stay tuned. http://www.academicsenate.cc.ca.us/
First Vice President's Report: Theresa reported that the January flex days are being planned and she will request feedback from the Senate at the next meeting (11/22).
Discussion Items: The Senate constitution is outdated and needs revision. A subcommittee (Liz Estrella, Peggy Mayfield, Kelly Locke) will review the constitution and propose revisions. To amend the constitution requires a vote of the entire faculty so sometime this year faculty will be seeing the revisions and have a chance to vote on them.
The Senate has attempted to collect information about governance committees on campus, e.g., who the members are, have they been appropriately appointed by the Academic Senate, when does the committee meet (if ever!), are the committee minutes posted (most are not), are there vacancies in the membership that the Senate needs to fill, etc. Committee chairs have been invited to come to Senate meetings and report on their committees. Although some committees have reported regularly, the overall response has been poor. In addition, there are many ad hoc committees, work groups, task forces, and subcommittees that are not in the committee handbook and have not had members appointed by the Senate. What work is being done on all these committees? It was suggested that a resolution be developed that would address this problem. The resolution will be brought for discussion to the November 22 meeting.
The Matriculation Report was presented for discussion. It will be an action item for approval at the next meeting.
Chris Myers brought the draft of the vision statement. Senators felt that the language was vague and proposed revisions. They will be taken back to the Institutional Planning Committee.
Action Items: The Senate adopted Resolution 1.05. To see it go to http://old-www.hartnell.edu/academic_senate/documents.html click on Resolution 1.05.
Bob Spier was appointed to Standard IV, Accreditation Committee.

Cool down on the hottest of days with this refreshing triple fruit drink!
Raspberries provide vitamins and minerals to foods they adorn. They make a nice red color splash in fruit salads, baked goods and party punch.
Blueberries can be substituted for the raspberries. Mango can be substituted for the cantaloupe or honeydew.
When purchasing fresh berries, make sure to look the package over carefully. The fruit on the bottom shouldn't be bruised, and the fruit should smell sweet, not musty. Store berries unwashed and loosely covered in the refrigerator.

As part of the Home for the Holidays Program by Warrick Dunn Charities and Habitat for Humanity Newark, Elizabeth Castillo and her two grandchildren were chosen to receive a brand new start.
Not only is the brand-new refrigerator fully stocked in the Castillo household, it has a new TV, a new couch, new PC, new kitchen appliances, and new and bedroom sets.
Former NFL running back Warrick Dunn's charity has given more than 120 single-parent homes a new start around the country. The former Buccaneers and Falcons running back has been giving back for more than a decade after going through hard times of his own.
Jeffrey Farrell, the executive director for Habitat for Humanity in Newark, said that after the home was purchased it was gutted, renovated, installed with new plumbing, electric, and insulation so now Elizabeth and her grand kids can have a bit of an easier life.

COMFORT in Perilous Times, part 5 - Today's Christian Videos
2,968 views
We now live in those Perilous Times of which the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1-9...:
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. but they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
Comfort in Perilous Times is a new 12 part series. This is part 5.

As of Saturday, December 3, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Alcovy's Michael Tucker had 12 points in the triple overtime win over Newton with his contributions showing themselves everywhere else on the court as the Tigers beat Newton 79-77.
In the girls game, the Lady Tigers led from the first basket and never looked back in their 55-40 win.
Alcovy 79, Newton 77 (3-OT)
Tucker played a big part in keeping the Tigers (3-1) from losing as he had two key shots and several steals and rebounds in the triple overtime.
The first of his big shots came with one second left in the first overtime period sinking two free throws to tie the game at 64. Tucker put any pressure he may have felt aside in the second overtime period sinking the tying basket with 38 seconds left on the clock to make it 71 all.
In triple overtime, Tucker made a pair of free throws and made a field goal to give the team a boost they needed offensively. But his play on defensive really helped put the Tigers over the top.
Tucker had a rebound giving the Tigers a second chance to make a basket. His other contribution was stealing a pass on a possible fast break after Marcus Beasley made what turned out to be the game-winning shot with 28 seconds.
Newton had a couple of opportunities to send the game to a fourth overtime or win it outright but it seemed like the pressure was too much for several players.
One Newton (1-1) player that was impervious to the pressure was Stephen Croone. Croone, who paced the Rams with 33 points, made a 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation to send the game into overtime.
In the first overtime, Croone made a three-point play to give Newton a 66-64 lead with nine ticks left on the clock. He also had a 3-pointer in the second overtime give the Rams a 70-69 lead and another trey late in the third overtime period to tie the game at 77.
While the game came down to the last shot in regulation, it really didn't have to be that way. Newton, who is normally around 70 to 75 percent on free-throws, was 1-for-8 in the first half finishing the game at 57 percent from the line making 24 of 42.
Alcovy's Devon Edwards paced all scorers with 34 points. Also hitting double-digit scoring for Newton were Justin Thompson (11) and Shane Henry (11).
Alcovy 55, Newton 40
The Lady Tigers (3-0) jump on Newton (1-1) early taking a 6-0 lead and never turned around.
Making it happen for the Lady Tigers was the play of their scoring leader Gabby Sherwood who had a game-high 13 points.
"Gabby is a silent killer for us. I've said that for the past two years. She does a lot of things that doesn't show up on the stat book," Alcovy head coach Kidada Holtzclaw said.
While Sherwood and Ashley Williams, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds, made their presence felt it was what was done on defense that made a difference. A lot of Newton's offense is set up by Emili Russ. However, the Lady Tigers were able to neutralize Russ allowing to only score three points while putting her in foul trouble early.
"We talked about her (Russ) a lot in our scouting meeting with her being a key to their team," Holtzclaw said. "We talked about containing her offensively and making sure she wasn't a factor in the game."
Even though Alcovy won by 15 points, it wasn't that easy as the Newton team never gave up. Every time Alcovy would get a double-digit lead, the Lady Rams would fight back and make their shots to get to within four to six points again. However, the Lady Rams never able to close the gap to less than two possessions never putting the pressure back on Alcovy.
"A key for us was trying to contain their transition offense," Holtzclaw said. "They're a really good team and I felt like we were finally battle tested."

RHINELANDER, Wis. (WXPR-Krall) -- Governor Scott Walker says the controversy surrounding his top aides while he was Milwaukee County Executive isn't applicable now because, "they aren't around anymore."
Walker says the current administrative team is effective. He says they were, "a handful of people who no longer work with me, who are out of the way of state government right now. Instead, the people I have around me are helping us to provide the largest sector job growth we've had in April through December last year."
Democrats have been combing over thousands of emails from Walker's days in Milwaukee looking for a potential link between Walker and his workers, some of whom have been convicted of various crimes.
Walker says a recent Citizen Action report claiming Walker's job creation division, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, favored placing jobs in Republican districts over Democrat ones is false and biased. "Completely biased and partisan reports. What you find are similar reports from the Department of Commerce under (former Governor) Jim Doyle. Just because you have a significant number of business leaders more often than not happen to be Republicans vs. Democrats. We measure success not by party affiliation, we measure success by whether those employers are creating jobs."
Walker stopped at Northstar Steel Fabricating in Rhinelander Friday to highlight his manufacturing agenda. He says a 7.5 percent manufacturing tax credit will help companies to create more jobs. "Manufacturing has been a key driver, not just in our state's history, but really in our last year. We were second only to Michigan in terms of the most new manufacturing jobs in the country, we want to see companies like this grow here in Rhinelander and across the state of Wisconsin. Our manufacturing tax credit."
The Governor recognized Northstar Steel for job creation, and their efforts to train workers in collaboration with Nicolet College. Founder Peter Denis and his son Mark started in 1981, and specialize in operator cabs for off-highway equipment, engine mounts, control panels, and custom fabrications. The company employs more than 40 workers in a six-building campus with over 200,000 square feet of production space.
Walker touted his Wisconsin Fast Forward program, which uses 35-million dollars to invest in technical training, high school dual enrollment, and helping people with disabilities enter the workforce. He's also promoting the programs plus tax changes with his Blueprint For Prosperity program.
During the Rhinelander stop, Walker confirmed that he won't officially launch his reelection campaign until the spring. Former Jim Doyle staffer and Democrat Mary Burke is already campaigning against him.

What are you doing to make the world a better place?
I firmly believe that everyone can, and should, make a difference. How one does this is dependant upon many factors. What I am interested in is how people in the TED.com community choose to use their interests and talents. For the purpose of this discussion, let's leave "earning a pay cheque", "employing people", and "paying taxes" out of the conversation.

Steve FullerJul 25 2011: Since I am just a lowly web designer, I have decided some time back to create 3 websites for topics that are dear to me or my family. The first is a community based site for the parents of cancer patient children, where the importance is the quality of living for the child, be it getting the proper information to parents new to dealing with this during an already overwhelming time or just a place to set a community work day to build swingsets and stuff for those same folks. Another is a pet shelter directory that is free for shelters to make a place to post rescues online for shelters that can't really afford such media interaction (most small ones are funded by one or two key folks) and another for something for our beloved military. Lots of vets get divorced because of the time away from home, many due to infidelity. I am thinking about doing a community based site for this. The first two have domain names already and are being built right now(albeit slowly since I have to make a living) but my third is not set in stone yet as far as the topic. That is just one of the things our soldiers face...
Jul 25 2011: This is fantastic, and exactly the type of information I was looking for. (I might respecfully suggest that your status as a "...lowly web designer..." has been elevated!). If you send me your websites, I'll post them on my blog. Sounds like you are doing quite a bit. Keep up the good work!

Four years ago today, I published a post about my wife getting a henna design on her pregnant belly. She was seven-and-a-half months along, and we didn't know the gender of the child. The baby was a mystery, a hidden identity that we couldn't formulate until his/her birth. So the design that our artist, the talented Amy Haderer-Swagman, created on that day embodied some of that mystery. It centered on a gallant, masculine peacock within an expanding, feminine sunflower. On March 7, our little girl was born, and everything about our life has been better since.
In two weeks or so, we're going to welcome our second born — another little mystery, an anonymous kicker and roller who keeps Hailey up at night, but delights her with little motions. Varenna will be a big sister, and life will get doubly good. To celebrate, Hailey had another henna design commissioned for her pregnant belly, and this time, Amy created an unfathomable masterpiece.

Caught on camera: Bystanders jumped into action and tackled a man who had just robbed a pharmacy.
Officer say the suspect went into the Walgreens at McKellips and Lindsay Roads in Mesa on Wednesday afternoon.
Clothing was covering his face when he demanded money from the clerk.
"She had kind of a blank stare on her face, saw her hand full of 20s, so I knew right then he was trying to rob the place," says customer Dustin Hollander.
He was given some cash -- but he didn't get away.
"I ran around behind him and blocked his exit. Threw my stuff down, told him no you're not robbing, you're not getting out of here," says Hollander.
"Dustin yells, grab him!" says Jacob Heward. "Completely surprised... Is he going to hurt anybody, does he have a weapon?"
With his exit blocked, Hollander tackled the robber. Video shows them wrestling in the cosmetics aisle.
"He was saying, you're hurting me, you're hurting me, you're attacking me," says Hollander. "Then he shoves his dirty fingers in my mouth, like 3 of them, and I couldn't do anything about it. I wanted to bite him, but I didn't want him to bleed."
"Once he was down, we had him, we were on either side of him, and he wasn't going anywhere. We did what we had to do," says Heward.
Police showed up and took the man into custody. He was identified as Piotr M. Zwolinski, 30. Zwolinski later told police that he was desperate for money and had heard how "easy" it was to rob stores, according to court paperwork.
Zwolinski is a Polish national who moved to the U.S. nine years ago. The Polish Consulate has been notified of his arrest.

Clark Kent Laid Off, Starts Blog →
The Daily Planet laid me off today. My editor Perry sauntered over to my cube, dropped his bristly knuckles on my desk and said, "Clark, can I have a word?" Normally, this would be followed by a refresher on our sexual harassment policy and a certain "Little Lady" at the city desk. See how I did that? That's my code for Lois Lane. I gotta million of them. Like "Jerk Off" for Jimmy Olsen, who tried to say something witty about me being canned that came out totally creepy instead….

So here we are. Today we are making Miso Ramen from scratch. Actually I've been a little nervous about sharing this recipe because I know quite a few people are all excited about it. I hope this soup/taste will satisfy your expectation.
But before we start making the soup base, I need you to understand that this ramen soup can't be compared with Ramen restaurants' soup quality because:
- My soup is made from ground meat (vs. ramen restaurants use bones for stock).
- My soup is made in 40-45 minutes (vs. ramen restaurants spend hours/days to create their broth).
Having said that, and if you are still interested, I hope you will give it a try. My husband who's crazy about ramen said it was really good. Since we have small kids in the house, my spicy level for this soup is "mild." So if you like it more spicy, go ahead and use more broad bean paste with chili or chili pepper in your soup.
Preparing ramen requires fast pace, especially after noodles are cooked. Overcooked noodle completely ruins the right ramen experience so make sure EVERYTHING, including your table setting, is ready before you start cooking noodles. Also, if you haven't cooked Quick Homemade Chashu yet, please cook it first because cooking time required for Chashu is not included for this Miso Ramen steps.
Also check out my Shoyu (soy sauce) Ramen too if you are not miso fan. Enjoy!
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced/crushed
- 1 Tbsp. minced ginger
- 1 shallot, minced
- 4 cups water
- water for boiling ramen noodle
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- ¼ lb ground pork
- ½ tsp. Chili Bean Sauce/Paste (Doubanjiang) (I use only ½ tsp. since my kids don't eat spicy. More for spicy taste or use spicy chili bean paste La Doubanjiang)
- 2 servings ramen noodle (I bought organic one from Nijiya Market)
- 3 Tbsp. miso
- 1 Tbsp. sake
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds, ground
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. white pepper
- Homemade Chashu, sliced
- ½ cup bean sprout
- ½ cup corn kernels
- 1 boiled egg, halved (my kids prefer hard boiled but you can prepare soft boiled eggs.)
- Seasoned seaweed (Nori)
- Green onion, chopped
- Pickled Ginger (Kizami Shoga)
- Shiraga Negi (optional)
- La-yu (Japanese chili oil) (optional)
- Prepare toppings. Fresh ramen noodle will be done cooking in less than 2 minutes. Therefore, you must prepare all of your favorite toppings before you start cooking Ramen.
- Mince garlic, ginger, and shallot.
- Grind sesame seeds (for the soup Seasonings).
- In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil with a lid on. Turn off the heat and set aside until it's needed.
- In a large pot, fill ⅔ of the pot with water and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat and set aside until cooking ramen noodle.
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat and start cooking garlic, ginger, and shallot. Sauté until they become soft.
- Add the meat and increase heat to medium high. Cook until the meat changes color.
- Add broad bean paste with chili and mix well.
- Add hot water from the small saucepan and Seasonings, and bring it to a boil. Right before boiling, turn off the heat or keep it on warm. Please remember, NEVER let the soup boil because miso will lose its delicate flavor.
- Put the large pot on high heat now. Loosen up the noodles before cooking.
- From here, I didn't have time to take pictures. When boiling, cook noodle according the package directions. Mine says 2 minutes, so I set timer for 1 minute 45 seconds.
- Meanwhile, pour the ramen soup base (including ground pork) in the serving bowl.
- When the timer beeps, quickly check the tenderness of the noodle. When it's done, drain cooking water well because we do not want to dilute the soup. Place the noodle in the soup, and put toppings of your choice on top. Serve immediately.

Why I'm talking to my kids about Lance Armstrong
"What's doping?" a tiny voice asked from the backseat of the car. The question caught me off guard. I was completely absorbed by an NPR "All Things Considered" segment about USADA releasing over 200 pages of material proving beyond doubt that Lance Armstrong, the world's most famous cyclist, was a cheater and a liar.

First lady Michelle Obama will be surrounded by Sesame
Street characters and students from three schools,
including North Elementary
School in Morgantown,
for an announcement about marketing healthier foods to children.
The announcement is scheduled for Oct. 30 at the White
House, and the participating schools were selected because of their healthy
snack options. The Produce Marketing Association and the Partnership for a
Healthier America also will take part in the announcement.
Obama has called on stakeholders to leverage marketing to
promote healthy products to children. All
schools will be required to follow the "Smart Snacks in School" nutrition
standards starting next year, requiring vending machines and a la carte lines
to be healthier.
Students from Magnolia
Elementary School in Joppa,
Md. will join students from Linwood
Holton Elementary School
in Richmond, Va.
and the Morgantown students for a
tour of the White House kitchen after the announcement along with a trip to the
White House garden for some harvesting.
North Elementary
School began its Panther Pride garden in Spring
2011, and it's been growing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including
snake beans, black radishes and strawberries.
Several teachers have utilized the garden in teaching math,
science, reading, writing and health. The school also has worked with the local
farmers' market and conducted lessons on the value of pricing, marketing and
selling produce at the market. North Elementary also started a world garden
with a new variety of produce indigenous to the nearly 50 countries students at
the school represent. The school also began featuring some of the garden items
in the cafeteria for students.

West 'threatening Syria solution'
The Russian Ambassador to the UK has accused the West of "deliberately undermining chances for a political solution in Syria" by pushing for military action. The US has said Syria must be held accountable for its "heinous" chemical weapons attack.
Live updates
Fears in Israel as conflict in Syria intensifies
Israel's Prime Minister has warned that if Syria's President Assad does launch any kind of retaliatory attack then Israel will, in his words, respond forcefully.
Any Israeli attack on Syria under those circumstances will be be large scale, and Asad's allies in Lebanon and Iran will feel bound to respond. So this is one way in which a punishment action by the Western powers could lead very quickly to a regional conflict.
Ambassador: 'Chemical attacks by terrorist groups'
The Syrian ambassador to the United Nations claimed that the chemical attacks in Damascus were carried out by terrorist groups, and not by Bashar Assad's regime.
Bashar Jaafari told a news conference at the UN in New York that the country's own soldiers had been infected by inhaling the poisonous gas, believed to be sarin.
He said he had sent a letter of request from the Syrian government to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to investigate the "heinous attacks".
Belgium 'not yet convinced' about intervening in Syria
Belgium's Foreign Minister has said the Government there is "not yet convinced" of the merits of intervening in Syria.
Foreign Minister Didier Reynders told state broadcaster RTBF that he would want to see proof that the Assad regime was responsible for a chemical weapons attack on its own people before any further involvement.
Describing any such attack as "odious" he said: "I am not yet convinced. What we want is to receive information showing the use of these arms."
He went on to say such information would preferably come from the United Nations but added: "Should France, the United States and Britain have information on this subject, they could share it with their NATO allies."
Mr Reynders questions what intervention would mean. "What would be the consequences in Syria and in the region? What would be the consequences of acting without the consent of the UN Security Council? For tomorrow Russia too could decide to intervene without consent if others do."
Belgium made up part of the NATO strike force on Libya in 2011, working closely with the UK and France.
UN inspectors visit site of apparent chemical attack
The team of United Nations chemical weapons experts returned to their hotel in central Damascus after inspecting the scenes of an apparent poison gas attack on several suburbs outside the Syrian capital last week.
Nato: Use of chemical weapons 'cannot go unanswered'
Nato Secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned that the use of chemical weapons in Syria was "unacceptable and cannot go unanswered".
He said: "Information available from a wide variety of sources points to the Syrian regime as responsible for the use of chemical weapons in these attacks. This is a clear breach of longstanding international norms and practice."
Syria: Britain, France and US behind chemical attack
Syria's deputy foreign minister has accused Britain, France and the United States of helping "terrorists" use chemical weapons in Syria's conflict, the Reuters news agency has reported.

How would the West attack Syria?
Iraqi security forces on high alert ahead of Syria strike
Security forces in Iraq have been put on high alert in case there is an international military strike on Syria, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki has said.
UN inspectors meet attack victims near Damascus
UN weapons inspectors in Syria have met people wounded in last week's attack as they look for evidence that chemicals were used by the Assad regime.
Russia says UN resolution on Syria attack is too soon
It is understood Russia will tell the UN Security Council it must wait for inspectors to report on an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria before considering a response.
Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov, quoted by the Interfax news agency, outlined the stance before today's meeting to consider Britain's draft resolution.
The UK motion authorises "necessary measures to protect Syrian civilians", understood to be targeted military strikes on the Assad regime.
Latest ITV News reports
How would the West attack Syria?
The prospect of a US and UK military intervention in Syria appears increasingly likely, but what would an attack by western forces involve?
Syrian textile factory switches production to gas masks
A textile factory in Damascus has started producing gas masks in case of a repeat of a suspected chemical attack on the area.

Rob Hestar said:Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts? I know South Africa got it this month,But in the US it never came out here,or did I miss something? But yeah, PS+ is...Yeah Nuts & Bolts is a good game, a shame they didn't release it in the US.
commented on Microsoft defends Games with Gold: 'About offering classic games back to the user' in reply to David Birney
David Birney said:See I get the explanation from Microsoft on giving classic games back but for me I run into two things. A. If I had wanted to play those games, I...Agree completely!
Microsoft started the GWG program soon after their next gen anouncement in order to show that they can compete with Sony in every way. Therefore people shouldn't say that PS Plus and GWG shouldn't be compared, because GWG was put into place for comparison. Also, GWG runs only until December 31st which reinforces the idea that GWG is meant ONLY to turn those interested in free games towards Xbox One when it comes out. Also, now that we've seen that they should be compared, the question is: which is better, paying to get good classic games or paying to get good new games? The answer is obviously new games. The reason is that people look to play graphically good games and always want value for their money; they could get classic games worth ~$5 or relatively new ~$20 games. Long story short, GWG fails to deliver. PS Plus > GWG and as a guy interested in "free" games, I"m going with the PS4.
"They've probably got a huge collection of games already anyway," he defended. "They may have traded their old games in by now, so it's a great way to kind of offering them their classic games back." Probably the worst comeback they could've given to criticism.

Changes dir to $1 and executes ls. As simple as useful
Had trouble with the other function, because of missing semicolons. (According to my bash on OS X)
I realise that this is just a reiteration of another entry (regardless of whether I came up with all this all by myself), but I would like present my additional alias' in context as a method of managing your directories. Rather convenient.
It gives a 'xcd' command for changing directory to one of CWDs of other ZSH processes (typically running in a terminal emulator). Useful for single-windowed terminal emulators like XTerm or Rxvt which don't have ability to pass CWD of one shell to another.
as alternative to cd $OLDPWD
If you have long and complicated folder names this might ease your work.
add this into .bashrc
switch to previous directory or toggle
Creates a directory and then cds into it directly
`up 3` will climb the directory tree by three steps. `up asdf` will do nothing, and returns exit code 1 as an error should.
Pros: Works in all Windows computers, most updated and compatible command.
Cons: 3 liner
Replace fcisolutions.com with your site name.
I wrote this a long time ago, wondering why this wasn't floating around somewhere out there (at least not where I could find).. this seems much more simple than multiple aliases and can cd out of directories easier.
Change n directories up, without parameters change one up
This is like `cd -` but doesn't echo the new directory name, which is preferable (to me) for an alias, e.g.
alias cdo="cd $OLDPWD"
Somehow, i prefer forcing to rm interactively to accidently rm'ing everything...
Output of this command is the difference of recursive file lists in two directories (very quick!).
To view differences in content of files too, use the command submitted by mariusbutuc (very slow!):
diff -rq path_to_dir1 path_to_dir2
cd /mnt;
echo /mnt/*/* |sed '
s/ \/mnt\//\&/g;
'|sed '/'"$1"'/!d';
cd -;
case $# in
echo "usage: ff glob [sed-cmds] [--|var-name]"
_ff $1 |sed =
case $2 in
--) _ff $1 |less -SN
*) _ff $1 |sed -n ''"$2"''|tr '\n' '\040' |sed 's/.*/export '"$3"'=\"&/;s/=\" /=\"/;s/ $/\"/' > $HOME/.ff;
case $# in
. $HOME/.ff
sed '
s/export .*=\"/\$'"$3"' = \"/;' $HOME/.ff;\
local a=$HOME;
sed '
s/export /less -n \$/;
' $a/.ff > $a/.v ;
. $a/.v ;
Another approach using ls(1)
_lsl ()
ls -l $3 /mnt/*/$1* 2>/dev/null;
case $# in
echo "usage: lsl pat [ls-options|result-no]";
echo "usage: lsle pat [sed-cmds]"
_lsl $1 |sed =
case $2 in
-*) _lsl $1 $@;;
_lsl $1 |sed 's/.* //;
'"$2"'q' > $HOME/.lsl ;
export v=$(sed 1q $HOME/.lsl);
echo \$v = $v
echo "%s/\$/ /";
echo "%j";
echo "s/^/export v=\"";
echo "s/\$/\"";
echo "s/ \"\$/\"";
echo ".";
echo "wq";
lsl $1 -1 |sed $2 > .lsl&&
exp |ed -s .lsl >&-&&
. .lsl&&
echo \$v = $v;
Sometimes you need the full path to your script, regardless of how it was executed (which starting directory) in order to maintain other relative paths in the script.
If you attempt to just use something simple like:
you will only get the relative path depending on where you first executed the script from.
You can get the relative path to the script (from your starting point) by using dirname, but you actually have to change directories and print the working directory to get the absolute full path.
Let's say you have a set of files in tree A that you want duplicated to tree B while preserving their directory structure / hierarchy. (For example, you might want to copy your 'profile' model/views/controller from one Rails application to another.) The "pax" command will copy all matching files to the destination while creating any necessary directories.
Testing in a TTY terminal , not emulator .
I was surprised to find that with RedHat bash, I could not find any comment lines (begining with #) in my bash shell history. Surprised because in Mageia Linux this works. It turns out that RedHat's bash will keep comment lines if in my .bashrc, I define:
export HISTIGNORE=' cd "`*: PROMPT_COMMAND=?*?'
Why have comment lines in shell history? It's a handy and convenient way to make proto-commands (to be completed later) and for storing brief text data that is searchable in shell history.

It's a common enough adage among nostalgic grown-up fans: "I wish I could just quit my job, drop out of school and be a magical girl." To fans of early/mid-90s mahou shoujo anime, the life of a magical girl seems like a carefree release from the daily grind of paying bills, making tough decisions and getting to work on time. The poster child for this is doubtless Sailor Moon, where girls escape from their unfulfilling lives of bad grades and no real friends by joining together as magical girls. Its successor, Ojamajo Doremi, likewise opens with a theme song about how magical girls can "throw their homework in the trash" and how "every day is Sunday".
However, even these magical girl series are not totally removed from the structure of society. 1991 was the burst of the Japanese economic bubble, and even in its children's programming after this time, there was a lurking question of price. How much does magic cost? Where does it come from? What happens if you waste it? The aforementioned Ojamajo Doremi responds to these questions with a cheerful practicality; magic in this series can only be cast by spending magic spheres stored inside their wands, and in order to earn these beads the girls have to work part-time at their teacher's shop. Magic here is not free, and does not come without obligations.
Other series take a darker turn with the question of price. The in-name magical girl series Mahou Shoujo Team Arusu (or Tweeny Witches) likewise has spells that can only be cast through the expenditure of magical items, but in this case these items are the product of capturing and abusing animals. This year's Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica goes further; the girls use up their own souls when they use magic, which if used carelessly can have disastrous effect on their selves.
Through having magic come at a price, these magical girl series may keep in step with realistic ideas of trade and commerce; however, at the same time they adhere to some of the basic rules of our universe, that energy does not come out of no where. As the magical girl genre is one that deals with the connection between magic and the mundane, it must reconcile itself with the rules of the real world in order to achieve the plausibility needed for any fantasy. George MacDonald writes of fantasy, "To be able to live a moment in an imagined world, we must see the laws of its existence obeyed." So it is for magical girl series as much as any fantasy: these stories take place in our own world, and so, as imaginative as their features may be, they must adhere to some of the basic rules of the society and universe that is their setting.
I just treated myself this week and went shopping at the Right Stuf.com, taking advantage of some of the sales. Looking over my order, I realized that everything I bought and looked at belongs on this blog, so voila: my shopping cart!
I couldn't really help this one; Right Stuf has the complete 26-episode series of Sasami: Magical Girl's Club (2005) available for $15… that's cheap!! This cute and colorful series is about Sasami, a little girl with magical powers that she must conceal from those around her. One day she meets a strange teacher who recruits her for the "Magical Girl's Club", a school club dedicated to finding girls with magic powers and helping them control themselves. The series is a reimagining of the 90s' Pretty Sammy franchise, itself a spinoff of the Tenchi Muyo! series, starring cute "little sister" character Sasami as a magical girl fighting evil. However, while in the original Pretty Sammy, Sasami worked alone, contending with haughty rival magical girl Pixy Misa, the Magical Girl's Club features a group of magical girls who become close friends. Where Pretty Sammy was a Sailor Moonesque crime-fighter, as well, Magical Girl's Club, at least from the first few episodes, seems to focus on the more mundane uses of magic.
I was charmed by the series through its first four episodes, which Funimation is streaming via Youtube.
Shifting keys, I also ordered The Adventures of Tweeny Witches (2004), an ambitious project by the brilliant Studio 4°C (which will be animating the new Thundercats TV show soon!) Where Sasami: Magical Girl's Club deals with the more bright and pastel side of magical girls, this show, which originally went by the similar title Magical Girl Squad Arusu, presents a slightly darker side, as its magical girls live in a fantasy world currently at war with a race of rival wizards. Its heroine is a girl from Earth who enters the world of witches and becomes a witch herself (shades of Harry Potter?) While many modern magical girl series can be classified as "intrusive" fantasy- stories in which magic comes to the heroine from another world- this series, like Magic Knight Rayearth before it, is "immersive", or rather "portal" fantasy, in which the heroine obtains her magic by entering the other world herself.
While I am trying not to spoil myself on the series, it looks like good fantasy fun in the tradition of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
While my budget ran out around here, I did take a look at the Magic Users Club (1996)- I am sensing quite a theme to this shopping spree! Like the later Sasami: Magical Girl's Club, the focus of this series is an extracurricular school group that functions as a magical girl team. It was helmed by Junichi Sato, fresh from directing the original seasons of Sailor Moon and Ojamajo Doremi, working together with his later Princess Tutu partner Ikuko Itoh. In this series, the earth has been invaded by strange nonhumanoid aliens, but the aliens don't really seem to do anything, and so nobody cares about them, except for the trainee magical girls (and two magical boys) from the exuberant Magic Users Club. Their activities gain the attention of both aliens and humans; however, they have to deal not only with these complications but with the romantic high school drama that explodes within the club's ranks.
It was actually a coincidence that all three series I looked at yesterday were about magical girls goofing off and fighting bad guys as a club. Really. Anyway, I'm certainly looking forward to getting my package!

Oh, Kristen Bell, let me count the ways I love thee:
1. your continued commitment to marriage equality, complete with Friend Factor profile, and rocking last year's Old Navy limited edition Pride t-shirt.
2. that you and Dax have stated you won't marry until there's marriage equality, and it sounds like you'll stick to it - unlike Angie and Brad.
3. your adorable Sloth Meltdown.
4. that you're captain of 30 day homies, encouraging Twitter followers to do daily 1 our exercise classes, which while I'm not participating in, it's super cool that you're connecting people to a vast buddy system.
5. Jason Segel couldn't forget you, as Sarah Marshall.
6. Jeannie VDH of House of Lies - just one of the guys, with an underlying vulnerability.
7. Badass Burlesque dancer Nikki.
8. Bad girl, with powers Elle on Heroes
9. Most importantly, and the role that introduced me to your acting prowess: Intelligent, witty, sleuthster Veronica Mars.
Now that we have that out of the way.
Veronica Mars is the modern Nancy Drew, yet somehow stronger, and more independent. The show captured high school life better, and more accurately than any other, it tackled real issues, without being preachy or seeming to be a long PSA, disguised as something more.
It was smartly written, and is so quotable, that it's appealing to adults too; clearly, otherwise I wouldn't watch it. The exchanges between Veronica, and her Dad, who's Sheriff, then PI, and hopefully Sheriff again, are priceless. When they join forces to break into a house, Veronica quips: "This is just like that time we went to Disneyland. If I have another altercation with Snow White and her disapproving dwarves, you're taking Sneezy this time." She hops the fence, making Bionic Woman sound effects as she lands on the other side, and looks through the bars of the fence at her dad. "The park's closed. The walrus out front should've told you."
Her character has many layers to it. She's not the most popular girl, but everyone knows who she is. She has one foot in the rich kid camp, care of her (dead) best friend, and boyfriend. The other firmly planted in middle class, due to her personal circumstances. She helps those in need, even when she doesn't like them. Like Nancy Drew, and Sherlock Holmes before her, there's no mystery she cannot solve. She's strong, with a vulnerability to her, she's likeable, and believable.
The show came to a close after three short seasons. While I'm glad Bell has had the opportunity to successfully shed that role, and move into many other projects, I feel like it's time for a reunion show. If you've seen season 3 on DVD, and watched the bonus features, you've no doubt watched the season 4 pitch. Fast forward a few years, and not only has Veronica graduated first from Hearst, she also graduated from the Academy, no doubt top of her class and is now an FBI special agent. Creator Rob Thomas discusses how they very deliberately changed the tone, including moving from a warm color palette, into cool tones, thereby making it edgier and presumably a bit older.
For argument's sake, let's say it's time for her 10 year high school reunion. Get on that, would you Rob? Kristen? Interesting to think that if the show was airing now, and faced potential cancellation due to what the networks (through their antiquated systems) may view as low ratings, we could stage a Community-esque 6 seasons and a movie viewer campaign.
