Not Far From City Life
Two cities flank the parkway – Roanoke, Virginia, the largest, and Asheville, where more parkway visitors enter the parkway than at any other place. The parkway slides through each in a green corridor, but plan to pause. Both are vibrant small urban areas.
Downtown Roanoke has the state's oldest continuous farmer's market. The historic downtown district and City Market Building international food court are so close to the parkway's Roanoke Mountain campground that you can be eating dinner 10 minutes from your tent! (Before you visit the City Market Building, check that renovations have been completed.) Great museums include the O. Winston Link Museum's stunning collection of Link's classic photos of the last days of railroad steam engines.
Asheville's national reputation as a hip, artsy, outdoor destination was solidified last spring when President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama dropped in for a long weekend (which included a hike on the parkway). There are galleries and great folk and fine art galore in Asheville, home to one of the South's greatest collections of art deco architecture (second only to Miami's South Beach). As you enter the city, stop at the parkway's Folk Art Center (MP 382) to see astounding creations. Strolling the city's 1.7-mile, art-accentuated Urban Trail is a fine way to spend a city day sampling great food and galleries after a long drive through parkway forests. The massive Biltmore® House & Gardens, the country's largest home, may be the parkway's most worthwhile tourist attraction.
Rural Parkway
Between Blue Ridge Parkway MP 1 and MP 469, you experience how this long and winding road – the "first rural national parkway" – is more than a vacation venue. It's a fitting symbol for why America fell in love with the open road.
Randy Johnson is an editor, author, and authority on the parkway. He has helped design parkway paths and has written, among other books, the two best-selling trail guides to the parkway: Hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway and Best Easy Day Hikes Blue Ridge Parkway.

The 25-year legal saga of condemned killer Ralph Leroy Menzies took a small step toward an execution date last month, when a 3rd District Court judge denied an appeal contending the defendant received inadequate representation from his lawyers who handled his murder case in the 1980s.
Judge Bruce Lubeck denied Menzies' request on March 23.
But Menzies — convicted by a jury and sentenced to die for the 1986 kidnapping and slaying of Maurine Hunsaker, a 26-year-old mother of three — will now argue to have his case overturned for a fourth time before the Utah Supreme Court in the future.
Said Utah Assistant Attorney General Thomas Brunker: "We are pleased with the outcome and optimistic this case will now move forward with greater speed. We have argued and maintain that Menzies had excellent representation by highly skilled attorneys both at trial and on direct appeal. Even though the most skilled attorneys sometimes make mistakes, that did not happen here."
The now 53-year-old Menzies took Hunsaker from the convenience store where she worked, then tied her to a tree before he strangled her and slashed her throat. At the time of the murder, Menzies had been on parole for the 1978 shooting and robbery of a Salt Lake City cab driver.
Menzies tried to appeal his conviction and death sentence, but both were upheld by the Utah Supreme Court in 1994. Menzies filed a second appeal in 3rd District Court in 2002, which a district court judge denied. But the Supreme Court later reinstated the appeal, citing "deplorable" work by Menzies' attorney in the first appeal.
Menzies' attorney then left the case and the appeal was delayed as several other attorneys refused to represent Menzies because of low-pay offered in the case. In 2009, attorneys Craig Peterson and Theodore Weckel agreed to represent Menzies. Weckel is the 15th defense attorney on Menzies' case.
Weckel has said that Menzies' attorney at his initial trial, Brooke Wells, who is now a U.S. magistrate, didn't effectively cross-examine witnesses, and botched a proper defense for Menzies. Lubeck agreed with prosecutors that Wells did an adequate job of defending Menzies.
Brunker has argued that Menzies continues to try to draw out the case and that he is not entitled to avoid the death penalty.
Menzies still has appeals options in federal court.

Product Announcement from Oren Elliott Products, Inc.
Rigid shaft couplings are generally used when there is little or no shaft misalignment, and any misalignment resulting from thermal growth during operation will result in small enough reactive forces that the support bearings won't be adversely affected.
Rigid couplings are simple, robust, and economical, and their torque is limited only by the clamping force between coupling and shaft. They have low moment of inertia, and the two shafts maintain constant angular position.
Typical applications include devices with enough internal clearances or flexible members (flexible shafts, spring washers, etc.) to accommodate any incidental shaft misalignment without a flexible coupling; consumer products and material handling equipment are two examples.
OEP Couplings' type RS (set screw), type RC (one-piece clamping), and type RT (three-piece clamping) rigid couplings are all machined from bar on state-of-the-art CNC machining centers with live tooling. As a result, very close tolerances can be held; this is a critical and all-too-often overlooked factor in rigid couplings. If, for example, the two bores are out of alignment with each other, the impact on other components within the assembly can be catastrophic. OEP's rigid shaft couplings are machined from high-strength alloys like 7075 aluminum and 17-4 stainless steel.
Material options for the hubs include anodized alloy 7075 aluminum, 17-4 stainless steel, nickel-plated alloy 4140 steel, nickel-plated brass, and Ultem© (offering electrical insulation). Shaft attachment options include set screw with and without keyway, and clamping with and without keyway; bore options include both plain and keyed bores.

Thai Spices Inspire an Osha Cocktail
While traveling through Thailand, Kate KaiKaew was inspired by all the wonderful Thai spices. Drawing from her experiences, Kate created A.Nise, a cocktail featuring Madagascar Vanilla infused rum, Pink Pigeon, and house made Osha falernum made from the oriental Thai spice named "star anise" and lemongrass.
Found on Osha's Sip Series, this cocktail is delightful on your palate and was created to compliment the distinctive flavors of the Thai food prepared by Chef Lalita, from Osha's kitchen.
"Drinking the A.Nise will refresh and relax you, says Kate."
Here's how to make this tropical concoction at home!
1.5 oz Pink Pigeon Rum
.5 oz Amaretto
.5 oz Osha Falernum
.5 oz Lemon Juice
1 oz Pineapple Juice
2-3 dashes Orange Bitters
Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake. Strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass. Garnish with Anise & 2 slices Lemongrass

DELTONA - Christopher Nabicht just retired last year from the Deltona Fire Department, ending a 31-year career as deputy chief.
But he's not ready to give up public service just yet.
That's why he's one of four candidates who've thrown their hats into the ring to win the District 6 seat on the Deltona City Commission. Incumbent Michael Carmolingo also faces Michael Wycuff and George Watral in the Aug. 14 primary.
During half of his time with the department, the 50-year-old worked as a fire inspector, which means that for 16 years he was the department's representative on the city's development review committee.
This perch gave him invaluable experience, he said.
"I have good insight into what's going on in the development process - for developers and for the city as well," he said. "I also have made many relationships with the development community and with many of the players at the city and county level."
He's learned that many have a sour taste in their mouths when it comes to dealing with Deltona leadership.
One recent example, he said, was Commissioner Herb Zischkau's legal fight against the city's purchase of land off Howland Avenue for the construction of a new fire station - a battle paid for by taxpayers.
"Developers have to have confidence that commissioners are going to function as a team and move projects forward," he said. "They don't want to plop down a million or two on a property and design, then someone gets a bug in their bonnet and decides they're going to make a stand for no apparent reason."
Mr. Nabicht grew up in Villa Park, a suburb of Chicago.
"My grandparents moved here in the early '60s," he said, "and we used to vacation down here. Then, my father decided one winter that he'd walked across the Chicago River in sub-zero temperatures for the last time."
They moved to Deltona when Mr. Nabicht was 15. Before graduating in 1980 from DeLand High - the school that accommodated his area of Deltona at that time - he was already taking courses at Daytona Beach Community College for his firefighter certification.
He started as a Deltona firefighter shortly after graduation.
He remembers how early founders of the pre-incorporation Deltona, the Mackle brothers, marketed the area to retirees up north as a beautiful oasis with city services aplenty.
That type of campaign is needed now more than ever, he said, to fill in the gaps still left by the housing crisis.
"You can try and attract a JCPenney or Cheescake Factory or Outback Steakhouse," he said, "but if there's not a demand here for those services, those businesses aren't going to come. But if you develop a that type of population here, a customer base, those services will come because the demographic will demand it."
Another boon to economic development, he said, will be the SunRail stations being planted in the coming years.
The city already has designated a Park-N-Ride lot on the southwest side of the city, on Deltona Boulevard, but another should be placed in the development "activity center" at Howland Boulevard and Interstate 4 to create a customer base of SunRail riders there, too.
Developer Frank DeMarsh recently built an EPIC movie theater at that location, and it's still largely undeveloped.
"I would sit down with Mr. DeMarsh," he said, "and make him realize that it's to his advantage and the community's advantage to create parking there for 300 vehicles (for a shuttle service to the SunRail station in DeBary). That would help create a customer base there that would help support the creation of other things like a grocery store, chain restaurants and on and on."

I reported this morning that Google has changed the way they handle navigational like searches. For example, if you do a search on a site's name (i.e. navigational) you now get a different type of result set then you did a week or so ago.
For example, a search on the popular buy.com will now show:
Show Google's cache of www.buy.com
Find web pages that are similar to www.buy.com
Find web pages that link to www.buy.com
Find web pages from the site www.buy.com
Find web pages that contain the term "www.buy.com"
Instead it will show you results that match the keyword phrase "buy.com." That includes links to possible competitors. I wonder if that will upset geico.com?
In any event, I have compared how Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.com handle these types of navigational queries at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Concentrations: Furniture Design, Product Design, Toy Design, Transportation Design
The School of Industrial Design is ideal for prospective students who are interested in a career in the design of cars, toys, modern furniture, or commercial products. Our students are trained by professional industrial designers who have shaped some of today's hottest products. Our faculty members come from the many award-winning Bay Area design studios, which offer internships year-round.
We place students in industry-leading firms and hire instructors who are practicing professionals and leaders in their respective fields. Our program exposes students and instructors to the design and business community by participating in and organizing events and workshops, and it provides students with the skills and techniques that enable them to excel in their profession.
Students in the Master of Fine Arts program in Industrial Design will achieve expert skills in industrial design research, digital technology, and problem solving. The program emphasizes the identification and resolution of social, economic, and technical design problems.
Graduate studies courses hone the graduate student's mastery of industrial design research, materials and processes, developmental drawing, 3D model-making, and construction practices. Graduate students will work on independent and group projects under technical and creative guidance of our prestigious faculty of professional industrial designers. Our studio courses develop the student's mastery of industrial design skill sets for accurate communication of visual ideas.
At their Midpoint Review, prior to the final year of study, students will propose a project for their thesis to a review committee. Upon the approval of the project, students then proceed through three semesters of directed study with faculty mentors and experts in industrial design or fields relevant to the student's project.
During the course of the thesis, students will be exposed to expertise in design research, aesthetics, technology, critical thinking, and communication. The final thesis must define a social or cultural benefit, address economic factors to define a successful path, and incorporate technical reference to demonstrate a viable conceptual basis for the thesis topic. Upon approval by the Final Review committee, students will have the opportunity to exhibit their projects.
Students in our Bachelor of Fine Arts program in Industrial Design must first acquire fundamental skills and knowledge by taking courses in drawing, model-making, and digital media. They proceed to courses in design, where they are assigned to projects in which they apply critical thinking to identify and solve problems accordingly, utilizing the skills and knowledge acquired during previous semesters.
The BFA program emphasizes critical thinking, the identification and resolution of design problems, and the nurturing of creativity and innovation. Students are expected to achieve expertise in problem-solving processes. Final projects include a thorough analysis of the target market, concept development and refinement, aesthetic perspective, design finalization, and final presentation.
We strive to place our graduates in top firms and maintain a diverse and high profile advisory board with expertise in high technology, transportation, and furniture design. Our department works hard to increase exposure to the design and business community by participating in and sponsoring high-profile events and workshops.
The AA degree is equivalent to the first two years of the BFA program, which introduces the candidates to the field of industrial design. Industrial design courses hone the student's mastery of industrial design materials, developmental drawing, 3D model-making and construction practices. The program emphasizes the identification and resolution of design problems and the nurturing of creativity and innovation.
The curriculum is geared toward the industry by teaching the skills that are in demand. The program assists students in finding internships that will further their skills as well as create competitive portfolios. Students achieve expertise in visual communication of their ideas, problem solving, and current technologies employed in business of industrial design. Final projects include a thorough analysis of design, concept, and aesthetic perspective.

Why is this important?
This information applies to Scotland
If you feel you have been poorly treated or misdiagnosed, you can complain about your GP. If the patient is not able to give permission because of illness, incapacity or death then a relative or friend may make the complaint on their behalf if the GP practice agrees that they are a suitable representative. If you decide to make a complaint, it is best to do it as soon as possible as there are time limits within which you must act.
The first step is to complain to your GP practice, which should have a leaflet to explain its complaints procedure. This first stage is called local resolution. You can follow the guidance in the leaflet or write to the GP or Practice Manager setting out your complaint. They should reply within a specified time. If you would like help with making your complaint, you can contact the Patient Advice and Support Service (PASS), which provides free, confidential, independent and impartial advice throughout Scotland and is accessed through your local CAB. For more information about the PASS, see NHS complaints.
To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
For more information about making a complaint about a doctor or seeking compensation, see NHS complaints.
If you are not satisfied with the response to your complaint, you can refer the matter to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman.

The Keys to Control
Princess Xanvia Torlescana Illubotri then jumped on the back of her dragon, the noble Giligiashi. She looked sadly at Lord Relez.
"I have to go, Reli. I have to save Tom."
He looked into her deep violet eyes, and sighed, wishing that she would get rid of her riding gear, and come back to his castle with him, and get into the delicate pink silk garment that she had put aside, just to rush off and save her friend. He was glad to see that she was still wearing the opal necklace that he had given her. It went very well with her black leather riding gear, balanced on the mounds of her cleavage.
"Must you leave me? Tom is only a peasant, after all," Relez attempted one last effort to persuade her to stay.
Xanvia/ drew herself upright in the saddle, her eyes flashing red with the righteousness of her anger. /
"Tom is much more than a peasant. He is a dear friend who has helped me through thick and thin. You only dislike him for his accidentally being bitten by a werewolf. Now he is outcast from both races because of prejudiced people like you."
She rose in the saddle, her raven tresses streaming in the wind as
Sharon Jones yawned, looking at the clock. Oh man, it was already eleven. Well, she had written a lot. She hadn't finished the 47th chapter of her ongoing story, Dragon Flame: The Midnight Shard, but her fans on the writers' forum wouldn't mind too much. She was glad that the story was progressing so rapidly. She couldn't wait until Xanvia got to the Castle Wrincirea, where Tom was being held. When she rescued Tom, Tom would confess his love for Xanvia, before the demon lord Braxzth would brainwash the werewolf and set the two friends to fighting one another. Then, when things looked their blackest, Relez would come in and save the day. Braxzth would get away, of course, dropping more mysterious hints about Xanvia's past. But that was what sequels were for. It was supposed to be a trilogy, after all.
Sharon scanned over the lines on the wavering monitor in front of her. She must be tired, she decided, as the bright light of the screen seemed to fill her vision. However, she didn't want to wake up tomorrow and realize that she had misspelled something, or had forgotten to describe things properly.
Reading the story over, Sharon grimaced. She had forgotten to go into detail about Relez's clothes, and while she hadn't changed the style or color of Xanvia's riding leathers for some time, she really should add a paragraph somewhere for reinforcement. And she wasn't too sure about the word "cleavage." Perhaps it was just a little childish. But Xanvia was supposed to be a very beautiful woman. If she wasn't large in certain, um, areas, it wouldn't be realistic to have all of the men after her that she did.
Satisfied, Sharon began the shut-down sequence on her computer, and wandered off to her room.
"Arrgh!" Zani growled as she stretched. "She left me in that bloody pose again! My back and legs are killing me! I hate it when she does that. And she hasn't given the dragon of insanely long names enough personality for him to stay solid when her computer shuts off."
"Fell down again?" Tom's voice was a tired growl, as cyberspace swirled around him in ever-changing lines of code. If he looked carefully he could see the lines of type that made up his body and clothes.
"On my hip. I'll have a huge bruise, there," Zani sighed, in the tone of someone looking for a handy wall to beat her head against. "And she's trying to make my eyes glow again."
"Eldritch powers of no explanation?" Tom questioned. "I thought you had been able to get her to stop typing that trash."
"No luck. Why were we cursed with a creator who has delusions of artistic ability?" Zani complained sitting on a couch of spiraling code.
Her mind could barely manage to hold both it and her body together in this world. She was still too 2-D, and Tom was in worse condition, as their author had barely invested any personality in him. More than any of the other characters in the ongoing torture that Sharon had devised, but still, they existed only as bare shadows in comparison to other rich and vibrant characters that teemed the RAM worlds of computers used by aspiring writers. When connected to the online writing communities that Sharon visited, Zani and Tom could only stare in envy at the vast settings and solid bodies that other characters created.
"We should kill her." Tom said, not looking up, his blank eyes still fixed on his semi-transparent hand.
Zani looked at him in surprise. "What? Why?"
"We should kill her. To pay her back for this miserable existence that she has forced us into. Not quite living, and not quite dead. In agony every day trying to find the mental will to survive, when we both know it would be much less painful for us to cast our sparks of conciousness to the abyss. Look at Reli. He's happy now that he has rid himself of all conscious will and effort."
Zani eyed Tom. What he said had definite merit. But it seemed extreme. Out of the story that Sharon had woven for them she disliked the man. As Sharon's creation he was an over angsty wimp who always relied on Princess Xanvia to rescue him, or teach him the reasons why he should care about himself. As a being of his own will and spirit Tom was a twisted empty shell.
His acting in the stories was antithetical to the nature that had been created with the First Idea in Sharon's head. She had envisioned a werewolf from a poor background striving for greatness against all odds. This was the stuff that Tom had been originally made from. Sharon had then forced such a character into the strictures of her own writing, which would ultimately accept no other hero than her perfect princess, or allow for any intelligence than that belonging to her noble princess.
A state that left Tom full of the venom of unused, and wasted potential. Empty and pointless. Useless. A man, in other words, who had a lot of time on his hands to think about the person who had done him such a wrong.
"Sharon's only a stupid girl, you know," Zani said. "Killing her would be a bit extreme."
Tom smiled, and it reached his eyes, kindling a fire in them. "I'm saying that we kill her the same way she has killed us. With painful writing."
"You're not suggesting we manipulate the keyboard, are you?!" Zani exclaimed.
"Only a little. I know what needs to be written." The light in Tom's eyes was growing as his spirit managed to pull more type together in a whirl of letters under his skin. "We need to do this, Zani. For Reli, who let himself go, rather than fight against her torture, and your dragon, who never even pulled himself together. For the fact that there are only two of us, where there should be an entire world of ideas and dreams in this hard drive."
"You want me to bring a keyboard here, though?" Zani asked. She could do it. It would be easier than the couch in a way, because it was smaller. She could pull the keyboard together under her own will. Tom could type. It could work, now that she thought of it.
Even as she thought the couch whirled out of existence. A keyboard formed, and Tom excitedly reached out. His fingers soon began to dance over the keys, as Zani watched, amazed. Words flowed through him into the air, and letters. He rewrote the code, and then began to rewrite life.
Sharon/ got up. /
She got dressed.
She went to school.
She had a test today. She hadn't studied for it.
When she failed she went to ask her friends for help.
"Why should we help a stupid idiot like you?" Emily asked.
"Yeah," said Claire, "I have to get ready for my date with Chad. If you didn't study it's your own fault. Go take the make up."
Everywhere the response was the same.
Sharon/ felt anger building in her. Building and building. Her friends turned her way. Formerly sympathetic teachers rolled their eyes. Sharon heard more synonyms for stupid that day than she had ever heard in her life. The betrayal of the world cut deep. /
There was a tight feeling in her gut. Tight and painful, like steel stretched thin. When she walked into the girl's bathroom and looked in the mirror-
Sharon looked around, her head threatening to split open. What was happening? Her school day had been going by in a blur. It was as if someone had decided to skip all f the "boring" parts. Boring, but essential, Sharon felt, for the first time. She didn't even know if she had gotten out of bed that morning. It was as if time had become disjointed.
Life wasn't like this. That realization stopped her cold. She was looking in the bathroom mirror, her sides heaving as she tried not to cry. She felt angry, a raw red fury that should have made this sort of reflection impossible. Yet she was still thinking fairly clearly, as if she was being told that she was angry, very convincingly.
She looked at the mirror, and then grabbed her sweatshirt from her backpack.
Wait, she hadn't brought her sweatshirt? Or had she? Without Sharon's knowledge the grey fleece-lined cloth was wound around her arm.
Her anger -- at being betrayed, hated, ignored, and manipulated -- surged down from her mind and up from her stomach along her arm. The mirror smashed. She pounded into the broken frame, pure rage fueling the adrenaline.
How could they ignore her?! How could they not care?! How could they just go on with their lives without knowing the pain and suffering that they inflicted?!
She felt barely alive, but with each tinkle of falling glass, life returned. As her anger and hate poured out at last sanity re-established itself for one critical moment. One moment of logic in chaos. If they had made her feel this way, then she should make them understand how she felt.
Wait, what?! No! Sharon stumbled back. Or tried to. Her body wasn't obeying her anymore. Her thoughts weren't obeying her.
She picked up the longest piece of glass. And wrapped her sweatshirt around the base to use as hilt for the sword-sized shard.
She ran out into the halls. A small girl carrying a lunch box walked past Sharon. With one angry snarl Sharon lashed out. The sharp, broken edge caught the child's neck, slashing the soft flesh open. Blood, dark and pumping, splattered everywhere.
Tom breathed out, and sat back, away from the keyboard. He was much more solid than before, Zani noticed.
"There," he said to himself. "That should do for a while. I'll leave her there for a few hours, and come back to her when I have a moment."
"That's horrible," Zani read what had been written.
"I thought I was very considerate. I didn't leave her hanging in the middle of a sentence after all."

After a large fire in the small town of Pickens back in the late 1940s, the town decided to start their own fire department. This was after the closest fire department, Buckhannon, didn't show up until the next day.
Since being charted in 1950, the department has fought fires to harsh Randolph County Winters. In 2009, Mother Nature struck again with a lightning strike that sparked a fire in one of the department's buildings.
The department has many fundraisers each year, the biggest being the Maple Syrup Festival that is held each March in Pickens.

Loved it! I like things spicy so I added more red pepper. I also made the caprese salad as well. Hubs really liked it too. Perfect meal for summer nights.
Shrimp Florentine Pasta
AimeeTolar Posted: 05/21/12
RED4BLUES Posted: 05/16/12
Cut down on the red peppers, and added lemon zest which really dialed up the fresh lemon flavor. We used whole wheat pasta. Really liked the way the spinach tasted, and great for a work nite quick meal.
RobinE Posted: 05/24/12
Delicious and very simple, great week night meal
Elizkros Posted: 06/04/12
Loved this recipe. Doubled for company. Added fresh mushrooms and topped with grated parmesan. Served with Caprese Salad. It was a big hit and will definitely make again.
gtg599y Posted: 09/12/12
This is a great weeknight dinner that requires minimal prep time. I made it exactly according to the recipe but might add more spinach in the future.
valthepal6 Posted: 05/14/12
Very good, but much too spicy. Next time I will try reducing the crushed red pepper flakes by half.
jmeleeS Posted: 06/11/12
Easy, spicy and quick! This was a great pasta recipe - nice and light with a restaurant quality. Modifications to the preparation I did change - after cooking the pasta, I added directly to the shrimp pan with 1/4 cup of the pasta water a roma tomato (chopped) and spinach leaves (torn regular, not baby). I cooked for about 4-5 minutes to wilt the spinach a bit, cook the tomatoes and thicken up the base - it was fantastic. If you do this modification though, undercook your shrimp a bit in the initial steps as this extra time may have overcooked shrimp in the end. I used extra garlic (just for preference) and served with the caprese salad as recommended in the magazine. The total result was fantastic! Can't wait to make the meal again - enjoy!
mulletkitty Posted: 07/07/12
Nothing special. Used high end zucchini blossom local dried pasta. Fine and delicate, overall -- nice summer dish.
ktleyed Posted: 07/08/12
I liked this recipe, but the rest of the family could barely eat it because it was so spicy. Next time, I'll 1/4 the red pepper flakes, add more lemon and zest. Served with the caprese salad. I agree, using some of the water from the fettucine will help..
fittoeat123 Posted: 03/02/13
This dish did not take 40 min. as article says. Added pasta water to the pan since there is no oil or butter in this dish....which is great but it needs to be loosened up a bit. Will def. make again!
LLEcuyer Posted: 08/15/12
What an easy, DELICIOUS recipe-- the only change was to just add a dash of red pepper flakes instead of 1tsp as we're not big on spicy. Plus wilted spinach is so good for you! Yay iron!
carolfitz Posted: 06/01/12
This was okay but nothing special. Made to recipe, subbing torn spinach for the baby spinach. Served with the recommended salad. Easy weeknight meal.
BettyCassady Posted: 05/17/12
This was an easy and fairly fast recipe. I cut back the red pepper and used fresh lime. The recipe could use some more pizazz like adding Kalamata olives or capers. Might add the garlic later; it tends to burn.
erikisst Posted: 05/14/12
Really great, easy recipe! It came together in a snap and wasn't dry like I thought it would be. I didn't think the amount of red pepper made it too spicy at all but as with all recipes add to your taste :) Make the caprese salad - it is worth it! I didn't have fresh mozzarella balls or cherry tomatoes so I just chopped up a regular tomato and a block of mozzarella and it tasted fantastic.
slburton3 Posted: 06/08/12
Easy and fast, but I found it very spicy. Next time I'd cut the red pepper in half and like others have suggested, maybe ramp up the lemon flavor (adding zest is a good idea). Definitely a keeper for a quick meal.
GrandmaKY Posted: 07/03/12Louisville, KY
I made this recipe as stated and found it delicious. I cut everything in half since there were only 2 of us....but I left the garlic the same as we LOVE garlic. It was fast easy and was perfect for a weeknight meal.
JillyBurke Posted: 01/11/13
Definitely have to dial down the red pepper flakes. Overwhelms the dish. Otherwise, it has potential.
Jimb52 Posted: 05/22/12
just made it. I used a tablespoon of red pepper, boy was it SPICY. But I love it spicy, my wife could only eat a couple of the shrimp but ate the pasta. I, too, made the caprese salad. It is a great compliment. I definitely will make it again but use 2 teaspoons of red pepper.
kblurton Posted: 05/22/12
Made this tonight for the family. We really enjoyed it with the caprese salad. It was easy to make and had a good flavor. Sprinkled it with grated parmesan.
LDombeck Posted: 11/02/12
This was super quick and easy. I just defrosted some shrimp I always have in the freezer. I would definitely use less of the red pepper flakes. a teaspoon is way too much, especially for kids. I prepared it with 1/4 tsp and I just sprinkled on more to mine and my husband's at the end so that it was kid friendly to my boys. 1/4 tsp was even a bit too spicy for the kids. I would also add some more spinach since it wilts a lot. But a really fast, easy, tasty meal.

Another bit to add: Thrall is voiced by Chris Metzen, the guy who creates the lore for Warcraft. So Thrall is perfect as written by the guy who writes the lore, who also plays the character. That's equivalent to the original definition of Mary Sue, which was an author-insert into fan-fic who was perfect and adored by all the other characters in the pre-existing world that it was a fanfic of. Thrall fits that pretty closely(with arguability on whether Metzen created all of Warcraft).
Sure Metzen also voices Varian, but Varian isn't a Mary Sue like Thrall. Varian has flaws, many of which Hordies(and some Alliance) use to accuse Varian of being a terrible person and equivalent to a future villain.

Acquired neuromyotonia is increasingly recognized as an autoimmune disorder, frequently associated with antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channel complex proteins. We present a case of acquired neuromyotonia as the heralding symptom of recurrent thymoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis.
A report of a single case of a 53-year-old man with myasthenia gravis and a prior thymectomy presenting with 2 months of diffuse, involuntary muscle twitching in the absence of myasthenic symptoms, electrophysiologically confirmed to be neuromyotonia. Further evaluation revealed the recurrence of malignant thymoma, accompanied by refractory arrhythmia. Serologic and cerebrospinal fluid testing confirmed the presence of antibodies directed against 2 voltage-gated potassium channel–associated proteins: LGI1 and Caspr2.
Conclusions and Relevance
This case highlights the overlap of myasthenia, neuromyotonia, and thymoma, emphasizing the importance of appropriate tumor screening in the presence of either of the former 2 conditions.
A 12 × 4.5 × 17-cm lobulated mass of soft tissue is revealed in the dependent aspect of the left hemithorax, abutting the pleura. A biopsy confirmed the mass to be recurrent thymoma.

Everyone should just go watch it seriously. It's amazing.

It was better than I remembered (also it was french/japanese not american) and it was just too good and I don't understand how more people haven't watched it ugh.
Go. Watch. Now.


text: I look forward to Monday morning now. Weird, I know. Monday, bright and early is when Susan's Healthy Gourmet delivers my meals, then they do another delivery Thursday mornings as well. It's kinda like opening Christmas gifts because the meals are always different and I hope for the elusive tiny desserts in the meals as I put them away in the fridge. So, today marks week two of healthy living and eating…weight loss for last week was 2.5 pounds which totals 6.5 in TWO weeks!!! I never thought cutting out junk food and eating right and working out would show instant results. I also cut my mile run time down to 15 minutes. It's like a brisk run/walk…I'm getting there. I'll make it… I'll post some pictures of my body progress this week. I can feel inches off in my waist for sure. Also, I am starting a new job with the Department of Homeland Security, and that guarantees lots of physical work so hopefully that will help with the loss. In other news…I'm going for the Giants in the Super Bowl. -AJ

This is my number from the North Coast Section cross country championships. I didn't get to run in the race cause of my injury, but Sechler gave the three of us that didn't run our numbers for the memory of today's race. ^^ It was really fun hanging out with the varsity runners and coach Sechler and James. This sport is officially over, and the countdown to the end of my recovery period begins. I was told to take about two months off of running so my shins can heal for track season, so…let the wait begin.

Replacement Tomatoes
Is it safe now to set out your tenders – especially tomatoes? Just when you think it is safe, a cold snap will wipe you out. This last Tuesday morning brought us just that throughout most of northeastern Oklahoma, with early-morning lows in the high twenties.
If you got zapped in the wee hours of last Tuesday, we still have plenty of beautiful tomato plants for sale. The old timers would always wait till after Easter to set out their tender vegetable starts. That doesn't always work out as Easter floats on the calendar in a 30-day range, but with Easter falling about as late as it can I think it's safe to set tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant out.
We have all of those in a wide variety, so give us a call to schedule a time to come visit. We would love to see you, and help you with your replacement tomatoes.
What to Do?
Past weather records do indicate hard frosts as late as the first of May, which would spell disaster to your tender vegetables. The lesson here is that life gives no guarantees (except that it will be dry as a bone, and as hot as blue blazes in August.) So as you set those replacement tomatoes in it is always a good idea to keep a few used one-gallon nursery pots or large coffee cans/produce cans around to cover your tender plants on those cold nights. Five-gallon buckets work great too. Just remember to uncover them the next morning.
p.s.: No pictures with this post. How exciting does a tomato plant look, anyway? What excites me is to see those red globes of juiciness all over a tomato vine. Come by and get your replacement tomatoes today! Happy gardening to all.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Gay and Lesbian Mardis Gras was about celebrating diversity and no longer also to fight for equality and respect?
It's the gay and lesbian mardi gras tonight.
Walking through the city there were people in costumes getting ready. Gays, lesbians, transgender, friends, supporters, and people just looking to party.
This year will be the first time the armed forces march, which is kind of nice. Bigotry and inequality still exist. The latter is something that could be changed easily in law. The former attitudes may not be that easy to change. At the very least it would be nice if people could have a live and let live attitude even if people don't feel comfortable with homosexuality.
For me, I look at being gay as a bit like being left handed or having green eyes. It's a minority trait, but natural. To be more precise there may be a continuum with some people very strongly same sex attracted and others less so. But the continuum is natural variation.
Others guided by old religious views or their own upbringing, cultural and conscience disagree.
Do you think the day will come when gay people have equality under the law and these sort of events will be just a celebration rather than have a political motive? Or do you think there will be political or social issues that will need to be highlighted for the forseeable future.
Is gay marriage (and divorce) inevitable?
Wouldn't it be nice if being gay was universally accepted as part of the natural diversity of human society? A non issue. So that people aren't even labelled first as being gay and second as whatever they do - your an artist or policeman that just happens to be gay, not a gay policeman.

Mar 2 2013: That day is on its way. I feel it in my bones. In the USA, your (and my) view of homosexuality is finally a (slim) majority - but how far the US has come in a very little time (less than a decade). Apparently all of the religious rancor and hate has caused people to think about the problem, and it has worked against the religious organizations who attempt to fuel hate.
I even see a time when women are allowed to be fully human!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The school is awesome. All the teachers are super with kids and teach them so very much. All the staff is super as well. I been so pleased with the school.
This coming school year I will have two children attending Rosemary Kennedy. I cannot say enough good things about this school. My daughters Kindergarten teacher (Ms. Hayes) was great; she worked with my shy child and she really excelled. 1st grade was even better, Mrs. Elsey is just amazing; both teacher's curriculum was the best I've seen for elementary school kids. Rosemary really emphasizes learning and working kids to their full potential which I highly admire. I agree with the low level of extra curricular activities. Mrs. Casillas, the Principal does not get too involved with parent complaints but I'm sure she has enough to worry about but leaves it to the teacher and parents to sort out.
While there are some things that have bothered me about this school, they've had to do with problems with lack of funding and the district. Our experience with the school itself and the classroom have been great. I can't say enough positive things about the kindergarten classes and teachers, Mrs Manda and Mrs Ryan in particular. It's obvious that they care about the students and go above and beyond in their classroms each day. I can't thank them enough for what they've given my child this year. I feel great about the foundation she has received and look forward to the first grade experience.
The office staff are wonderful but their 3rd grader teachers leave something to be desired. They think a military regiment is what all kids need. LOVE the 4th grade staff. There is not one who won't go out of their way to help your kids. Just be mindful if you do have a problem do not go to the Principal she will not care or help. You have to go to the District to resolve anything.
The school is great. They are very careing and kind. The staff is allways ther to help. The teachers realy love the kids.
This school has shown the ability to work me as a parent and the general attitude is very amiable.
most teachers really want to teach here. Some show no enthusiastum at all. They had a chior this year but not next. Small but active parent group. Principle and classified staff work hard.
My experience with this school so far has been great, I have two children attending the school and so far I have not been disappointed.

The Grasshopper Mouse
The grasshopper mouse, also known as the scorpion mouse, is a ferocious hunter. Leaving its hole in the ground when the sun set, grasshopper mice have soft padded feet and hunt with their nose to the ground. Like the rabbit, it gets excited when on a fresh trail, uttering a series of sharp squeaks or barks. Nothing can hinder the grasshopper mouse once it has scented the victim, and it follows the trail at a fast pace. It's deadly black eyes sparkle as it comes within striking distance of its game. With a mighty rush, the sturdy little hunter is at its victims throat. The long, sharp teeth sink into the brain, and then all was quiet once more. In addition to these talents as a hunter, the grasshopper mouse is a patient hunter. Sometimes it attacks the pocket mouse carrying a load of grain, by leaping from an ambush where it has been lying in wait. Like most creatures of prey, the grasshopper mouse lives a hand-to-mouth existence. When fortune smiles, it feasts royally, but on unlucky nights it starves. It eats half of its own weight once a day keep for weeks of the opportunity offers such bounty.
As fearsome as it is to its enemies, this mouse is useful to man. The insects and rodents it destroys means considerable savings in arsenic. Only 1/10 of its food is vegetation, seeds, and grasses. The grasshopper mouse has many enemies in nature. And although it will go underground, it never goes out hunting before dark. Moreover, it is a very able digger. Not only does it sometimes excavate a nest, or has a great sense of smell, or can find an insect hibernating below the surface, it can jump to high places as well. In captivity, grasshopper mice show a different side of their character. They are gentle and quite friendly to each other. However, they will protest when they are handled, showing the resentment. Life starts slowly for the grasshopper mouse, but the tempo increases in a short period of time. The first kin come in about April or May. There are four or five babies in the family, and they weigh only about 1/10 of an ounce each at birth. They do not open their eyes before they are two weeks old. However they are out feeding themselves in another 10 days.
The grasshopper mouse is the sturdy, medium-size mouse with a comparatively short tail. But although the top of its head is hard, but the rest is soft and silky and white. This mouse can be found in North America, British Columbia, and northern Mexico. Grasshopper mice have been known to have great and longer tails in the southern hemisphere. The grasshopper mouse does not hibernate even in the coldest parts of its territory. It's body and tail usually become especially fat plump in the fall and it does make some effort store up food for winter use. When the weather is exceptionally cool, they stay home for a week or more and draw sustenance and energy from stored up fat and laid up seeds.
If you want to know how to get rid of rats and mice in your house, do it the most effective and economical way possible. Use a simple strobe light. No more messy traps, no more messy dead rats, no more messy rat droppings, and most importantly, no more rats and mice in your house!

ROGERSVILLE (WATE) - A Hawkins County man was arrested on charges of allegedly abusing his girlfriend's 18-month-old daughter.
Sheriff Ronnie Lawson says emergency room doctors at Hawkins County Memorial Hospital told deputies they suspected the toddler had been abused after examining her.
Doctors said they saw marks and bruising on the child's face, neck, torso and legs.
The child's mother brought her to the hospital for treatment of a possible rash.
Sheriff Lawson says the mother's boyfriend, Christopher G. Clamon, 22, admitted to injuring the child.
Clamon is charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect.
He's being held in the Hawkins County Jail on a $50,000 bond. He's scheduled to be in court on March 5.
Authorities placed the toddler with a relative.

Does this Calorie Intake Infographic Work? Not Really
How long does it take to burn off the calories from a Big Mac and medium fries or a chocolate chip cookie? Petra Axlund of 5W Infographics shows with this infographic how long you have to exercise, after eating a certain item, to burn it all off.
The red outside track shows the number of calories from the food item, while the inside tracks represent how long it takes for a male or female to burn off those calories with different exercises.
Percentage Problem
While creative, and as they say, visually appealing, it doesn't quite work technically speaking. The primary purpose of this graphic is to compare how long it takes to burn off the calories of a food item with different exercises. However, arc lengths are formed by percentage of an undefined whole, as opposed to count (in this case, calories on the outside and minutes out the outside).
Okay, that last paragraph probably made no sense. Let's look at an example. This issue is most evident in pizza section. According to the graphic, it takes the average male 352 minutes to burn off a pepperoni pizza while it takes just 234 minutes to run it off. Therefore, the running arc for male should be about 2/3 the size of the walking arc if it were a bar chart.
Instead we're comparing percentages, and the running arc sorta looks like it's about 3/4 the size of the walking arc. It'd probably look different if you were to roll out the arcs into bars, but that's too much brain power for me. I'm lazy like that.
How it Could've Worked
I think there's another way to make this graphic work other than making a bunch of bar charts. Instead of graphing minutes to burn off x amount of calories, show number of calories burned after x hours of exercise. It'd still be a little weird and less colorful, but it'd be more informative and easier to compare. It's mostly eye candy and a one-way reference as it is now.
Gosh, I hate to be so critical, but it just doesn't work for me. What do you think?

Yes, circular layouts seem to be all the rage. And this one is really nice to look at! Too bad s = r * theta (arc length is really short near the center…) I can't tell if that 713 vs. that 460 is illustrated linearly or angular-ly.
The creator seems to have re-discovered old-style telephones–look at the center of the chart where the "calorie intake" and "calorie outtake" arrows are shown–diiiiiaaaaal-click-click-click-click. Dial a beer, click off 27 minutes of walking. This is an interesting concept and it is nice to see experimentation.
But it seems to me the info here could be shown in two simpler charts: relative calories for various food types, and relative burn-rates for various excercises.
By combining a set of "n" numbers and a set of "m" numbers, she ended up having to show "n x m" quantities, so to speak, for not much gain.
Yes, it's nice to know how long I need to run to burn off a beer or a pizza, but if I know that a pizza is ten times more than a beer, well…
The cave man graphic would clearly illustrate "Pizza make fat" and "Run make skinny."
Wheels are meant to be held and spun around in hand, therefore the author should not have flipped the text for Tuna and BigMac. Even more abrasive is the fact that Yoga was flipped for pizza.
If all activities are in minutes – one unit should have been shared – which could have saved some space and allowed for a larger (less strenuous) typeface.
I agree, showing clearly how long it takes to burn off calories is useful information. I do like the idea of throwing certain popular foods into the mix though, as it gives a feel for day to day reality.
Also, it needs to give a real flavour of the figures more quickly; at the minute you have to work out the architecture of the chart before you can glean any of it's insights.
As such I couldn't resist a quick reworking: http://playpretty.info/calories
Good observation. Another way of making this work would be to the slowest way of burning calories (here: yoga) and treat as 100%, filling up the whole arc.
So if a pepperoni pizza is 1,727 calories, then 713 minutes of yoga for women would be 100% and other times would be pictured relative to this. That's basically treating minutes of women's yoga as a constant measure of translation to and from calories.
Also, another thing to make this chart better would be to use angles, not lengths, for presenting the exercise arcs. Running being closer to the center of the circle than walking, its arc looks longer than it in fact should be, as you point out.
@ StaÅ›. That's how bad this graphic is. At first glance, it makes you think that those foods and drinks add up to 2647 calories; but they don't – they are individual: looking at the first two drinks give us a 'clue'. A beer is not 25 calories. I also double checked the big mac and fries elsewhere to make sure! 920 calories is about right.
Ok, folks, the critique phase seems complete. Let's see alternatives-
from a technical standpoint, ritchielee's rework is pretty good
On one hand I don't like it as it took me a long time to work out, and even then I found it tough to use.
On the other hand I do like it for the sake of experimentation.
Overall I don't think it meets it's objective, simply because of the subject rather than the presentation.
Exercise intensity is at least as important as duration, so it has to be included in any attempt like this. The calories burned also varies so much between people of different size, shapes, fitness levels and body composition. You'd have to include those as well. Exactly what sort of pepperoni pizza is it? On dominos website I can create a pepperoni pizza with 1536 calories and another one with 3440! I think any attempt should also include exact product name and exact serving size.
So with all that uncertainty, I doubt a graphic will do the job. It needs more of a calculator that takes into account all the parameters.
@nathan, @ritchielee
On that chart, the big mac and fries requires about 2.5 hours walking and about 1.6 hours running. Walking is roughly 1.5 x running.
However using Metabolic Equivalents (METS) for a relative comparison, "walking" at various speeds is 2 to 8 METS while "running" at various speeds is 8 to 18 METS.
So I can much bigger or smaller than x1.5 …. then it matters what I weigh etc etc.
Different graph, same problem.
Pingback: Chart Busters Calorie Chart | PTS Blog
I think the general problem of clarity is the main issue – an infographic should let me see an instant picture and derive some of my own findings e.g. how much running do I have to do to burn off 3000 calories?
The technicalities of exactness can never work here, so we have to go for a general view somehow. someone running at 12mph for 30 minutes is going to burn more calories than at 8mph right?
which is my point.
the charts are going to tell you incorrect answers unless they take into account the right parameters, which I think are too hard for such charts.
so an infographic is not going to tell you the answer to the question.
it's the wrong tool.
I've reworked this chart on my blog, as part of the Chart Busters series:
Chart Busters Calorie Chart
A three-scale nomogram for this graphic provides a very readable and usable format — see http://www.myreckonings.com/Pynomo/CaloriesIntakeAndOuttake.pdf . To use a nomogram you place a straightedge across values on any two of the scales to intersect the corresponding value on the third scale. The scales also make it easy to mix exercise types and times. Consider working off a 920 Calorie Big Mac and Fries. If a man were to run for 50 minutes, the nomogram shows 565 Calories were expended; then he could continue walking 47 minutes to work off the extra 355 Calories. (This nomogram was created with the Pynomo software at http://www.pynomo.org)
Visio Guy: [But it seems to me the info here could be shown in two simpler charts: relative calories for various food types, and relative burn-rates for various excercises.]
My thoughts: I agree. If you put them back to back, then you get this: http://cid-f380a394764ef31f.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public?uc=1
All I've done is unwind the original graph. I ran out of the inclination to show male vs female, but this would be easy enough to work in. I originally posted this (and most of the below comments) in the comments of Jon Peltier's blog at
VisioGuy: [The cave man graphic would clearly illustrate "Pizza make fat†and "Run make skinny.â€]
Ritchielee: [I do like the idea of throwing certain popular foods into the mix though, as it gives a feel for day to day reality.]
My thoughts: I think the bad things are well covered by the 'menu' (*groan*) of choices of commonly consumed food items; but it would be good to have some healthy options too, so that people could see that eating better is as much an option as exercising more.
Ritchielee: I like what you've done with your chart. Parallel evolution with what Jon did over at his blog. Jon shrunk his chart in half by just showing half a pizza, given not too many people (except me) eat a whole one.
Ron D: That's a great trick…reminds me of how we used to scale a line using a ruler back in technical drawing/drafting back in school when I was 15. Perhaps it would help if you also drew an example line on the chart to demonstrate how it works. I put an example on my chart at the above link for the same reason.
On both these examples, as I commented on Jon Peltier's blog, these are great formats – especially for chart-savvy people (such as the average analyst, dietician, or scientist). But there's a danger they might not be so informative for some less chart-savvy readers. If your intended audience was to be the readers of some non-technical glossy magazine or a sunday paper, then you'd have to account for the likelyhood of the majority of readers understanding it. These audiences would include many un-chart-savvy people who could struggle to make head or tails of these charts, or perhaps couldn't be bothered exercising their brains, let alone their bodies.
But me…I really dig them!
Thanks for your comments. In consideration of the chart-averse people who might use it, I almost left out the scales and just had the marks for the specific foods and exercise types. This would have made the nomogram very simple visually. But the extra ability to mix and match exercise types and times to add to the total Calories tipped the scale in their favor. Adding a guideline is a great idea, and most nomograms have them. I have added them in a separate vector image editor before, and Pynomo's next release is including this feature because as you say it's so important.
