Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
What are homo sapiens good for, how do "they" contribute to a "cycle" on Earth, and what would happen to the world if "they" all left?
***First of all, I want to politely ask readers and responders to distance themselves from thinking as a homo sapien or human and place yourselves as a single separate entity, seriously considering this topic deeply, examining this from a distance***
If bees were to go extinct tomorrow; many plants and trees would not be pollinated or germinate, and many animals would starve. If all the algae of the world vanished off the face of the Earth; a collapse of the ecosystem would likely occur. If homo sapiens all left Earth someday, then what could possibly happen to the planet? Many scenarios could happen, but some have claimed that the Earth would continue unchanged after we leave and it would actually do much better, according to some.
Homo sapiens create great knowledge; they create great technologies; they create great works of art, literature, and architecture; they answer many questions that no other creature could even fathom; they have a complex mind; they are self aware; they have language; they are adaptive; they are the highest point of the food chain on Earth, when they are on land; they can potentially destroy Earth with their own technologies; they have war; they take a lot of Earth's resources; they sometimes waste a lot of resources; they are many more things, but how much do homo sapiens, as an entire species, play into the larger ecosystem on Earth?
Is Niccolo Machiavelli accurate when he describes people as "a sorry lot" or is the human existence a helpful one?
Thanks for reading my thoughts.

Oct 22 2012: You are assuming that the ECO system is fragile and it might well be, if meassured in human time. Think planet time.
Unless the planet is pulverized, the sun changes or the planet loses it position in orbit "Life" in one form or another will continue on this planet. Homo - sapiens will only be missed by the next Intelligent species that replaces them in the future. "Missed" is probably the wrong term. Do we miss the Dinosaurs?
Your conclusion about the bees is missing one important factor. TIME. Most would agree with most of your statement but give enough time thousands or millions of years the Eco system would right itself. It is widely believed that if the bees vanished it would be and end. I feel another insect or evolution would replace them and replace them quickly. The laws of supply and demand do apply to nature. Take O2 and CO2 if there is an abundance of CO2 and a drop in O2 the lifeforms that rely on the CO2 would flourish and the O2 lifeforms would diminish and then the pendulum would begin to swing the other way and then back again until the system rights itself or another disaster occurs.
I don't claim to be an expert these are just some of my thoughts

Leipzig: Composer's manuscript, n.d.(ca.1736).
This manuscript (D B Mus. ms. Bach P 612) contains 2 works of J. S. Bach, Concerto for 2 Harpsichords in C minor, BWV 1062, and Flute Sonata in A major, BWV 1032. The composer first wrote BWV 1062. The bottom 4 (or 3) staves on each page were left unused. Later, the composer started writing BWV 1032 on the unused staves. Up to the first 5 bars of the 2nd movement of BWV 1032 fit in the unused space of the score of BWV 1062. Then the composer continued on the new papers to complete the BWV 1032. Much later, somebody who owned this manuscript tried to separate the two works and cut some of the pages. As a result, the bottom part of the pages 17 through 28, i.e., latter half of the 1st movement of BWV 1032, were lost.

Misc. Comments
- The first movement (Vivace) is missing from some urtext editions. The reason for this is that the autograph is incomplete, and there are 45-48 bars missing. These have been reconstructed in different ways by different editors, but an urtext edition may not include these additions. Therefore, some editions have this movement and others don't have it.

Microsoft had a long tradition of delivering pre-show keynote at CES. Surprisingly, Microsoft last year said that it is not taking part in the CES with the following reason, We'll continue to participate in CES as a great place to connect with partners and customers across the PC, phone and entertainment industries, but we won't have a keynote or booth after this year because our product news milestones generally don't align with the show's January timing. It seems Microsoft has reversed their decision and returning to CES again this year. BBC reported today that Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association revealed this information at London. "Microsoft is officially back in the International CES," "They are taking out significant space in meeting rooms – it's actually a larger presence than I believe they have ever had. "Microsoft will have to make the decision who the rooms are open ...Read More →

Surprised nobody has responded yet. So i'll weigh in with full disclosure that i'm learning lighting as well, so not a guru.You've put a lot out there. Each is it's own area depending on style, skill, space, and experience using them (ie -practice)!I spent/spend a ton of time on youtube. Some great how-to's, plus quite a few that are less helpful (to be nice).Smokingstrobes is one of my favorites. Simple setups - very "Strobist" (usually - he also does more complex setups). Obviously strobist and their whole site is an amazing resource. Usually speedlight oriented - very "grab and go" and "gun on the run".I seem to learn better visually, so the Studio lighting essentials by Mark wallace was informative. One light was awesome. Strobist lighting in layers has been informative and packed w/ good info.So many ideas and things to play with - just depends on what you want to do.So what are you looking to do w/ these lights? Studio stuff, or lighting on the go (remote, street, ??), or something else?from my limited experience, umbrellas are a great start (both shoot through and bounce). Light boxes typically seem to provide better control of the light (where it does/does not go). Further can be focused via grids, flags, etc.Ratios are easy to explain (simple math 1:1, 1:4, etc.) Mastery is another thing! Check out the videos on Youtube, or look at some of the online articles (some great ones you can find via google). The above videos also go into detail (what i've seen) that should help.I've not completely watched all the above, but keep learning every time i get time to watch one! I think of it as tools on my "bat belt" - for use next time i need them. Not one way is correct, and the others are wrong... my opinion so worth what you paid for it! hehehe.Anyway - i hope the long winded response gives you some areas to look into. Obviously not a guru, but a fellow student of light, learning as i go.GL!rob

LAS VEGAS, Nev. --- Zach Merrill became California Baptist University's first ever placer at the Cliff Keen Invitational on Saturday. The 2012 Cliff Keen Invitational was stacked with seven of the top-10 NCAA DI teams in the country; it was the toughest invite on the schedule for CBU.
The Lancers placed 26th out of 32 teams with 13.5 total team points. No. 5 Ohio State won the invitational with 124.5 team points.
"It is a tough tournament," said Head Coach Lennie Zalesky. "We had some real close matches against some ranked guys though."
There were a lot of ranked guys at the tournament for CBU wrestlers to square off with, 59 of the top-200 wrestlers in the country competed over the course of Friday-Saturday.
Merrill was 5-2 at the Invite, including 8-5 decision over Henry Chirino from Northern Colorado, which secured a seventh place finish. In their fourth year at the invite, the Lancers now have an individual placer.
"It means a lot for him to place," Zalesky said. "This is a really tough DI tournament."
CBU brought eight other wrestlers to the invite and got some strong finishes from others such as Bradford Gerl and Dylan Cataline.
Gerl went 2-2 at 141, including a 2:19 pin over McCade Ford from Wyoming. He then went into overtime against a returning champion and top-4 finisher Michael Nevinger from Cornell. He was eventually defeated in the fourth round by Naveed Bagheri from San Francisco State.
"From (125-149) we did very well," Zalesky said. "Heavyweight too, it was just at middleweight we lacked some experience."
Cataline went 1-2 at 149, his one win at the invite came in a 4-2 decision over Jake Briggs from CSU Bakersfield.
When all was said and done, the Lancers finished with an 8-18 record and a good training experience to gear up for their dual against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Dec. 7. Cal Poly finished 21st at the Cliff Keen Invitational with a team score 13.5 points higher than the Lancers.
Final Records:
125 - Taylor Hall - 0-2
133 - Alex Anunciation - 0-2
141 - Bradford Gerl - 2-2
149 - Dylan Cataline - 1-2
157 - Paul Miller - 0-2
165 - Jacob Fry - 0-2
174 - Kenneth Tribble - 0-2
184 - Paul Head - 0-2
285 - Zach Merrill - 5-2 (7th Place)

B.A. Psychology - University of North Carolina
Research Interests
Household water treatment, water quality, WASH, poverty metrics, Global Environmental Health, Asia/China
Research Description
My past and present work and research focus on water quality and drinking water treatment, and their intersection with rural poverty, poverty metrics and development. Geographically, I work mostly in Asia.
My doctoral research is focused on point-of-use household water treatment (HWT) generally, and the health and environmental implications of boiling (as a method of HWT) in particular. My studies and research are an interdisciplinary blend of Environmental Science, Public Health and Behavioral/Social Science, with four main areas:
- Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) and rural development policy
- Water-related pathogens, water contamination and household drinking water treatment
- Innovation Diffusion and attitude/behavior change theory
- Poverty metrics (surveys and indicators) and intervention design
The primary objective of my doctoral research is to understand the extent to which a HWT approach other than boiling could potentially improve human and environmental health in rural China, with a focus on better understanding which factors may contribute to long-term adoption of HWT generally. To address these issues, I work with the National Center for Rural Water Supply Technical Guidance (NCRWSTG), a division of the China Center for Disease Control & Prevention (China CDC) and their provincial China CDC counterparts in Guangxi Province.
During the summer of 2013 we collected data from 450 households using a geographically stratified cross-sectional design. IFAD's Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Tool (www.ifad.org/mpat) was used to collect demographic and poverty-related data alongside purpose-designed survey questions about water and fuel use. Drinking water samples were collected from every household and analyzed for microbial contaminants, and physicochemical analysis was conducted for each village's primary drinking water source. Data collection was repeated in a subset of villages during the 2013-2014 winter to address seasonality, and remote temperature sensors (on kettles and pots) were used to corroborate household responses about boiling frequency and duration. The work is ongoing and initial results are expected in 2014.

MILWAUKEE, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) Soft-tossing right hander Roberto Hernandez shut down the Milwaukee offense for most of the night, but the home team had some late-inning fireworks. The Brewers scored seven times in the last two frames to take a 9-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and keep their lead in the National League Central Division.
L-A had scored two runs in the top of the seventh to take a 3-2 lead when the Brewer bats exploded. A bunt by Martin Maldonado tied the score, then an error allowed Milwaukee to go ahead. Gerraro Parra knocked in two with a single to make is 6-3. Rickie Weeks put the icing on the cake with a three-run homer in the eighth.
Jeremy Jeffress picked up his first win and Aramis Ramirez and Parra each had two hits. Brandon League took the loss.
Former Brewer Zach Greinke goes for the Los Angeles tonight. He will be opposed by Mike Fiers in the 7:10 p-m game. You can hear the game on WSAU.

When is the best time to buy groceries?
How healthy -- and cheap -- your food is depends on when you hit the grocery store.
This post comes from Brian O'Connell at partner site MainStreet.
To adequately feed a family of four, Americans spend $191 per week on average, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA considers that a "low-cost food spending plan," with the average moderate- and liberal-grocery spending plans jumping to $239 and $290, respectively.
If that sounds like a lot of cabbage, financially and food-wise, it is. The lowest figures times 52 weeks translates into a $9,932 household food bill over the course of a year, and that doesn't count vacation meals and restaurant spending.
It underscores the need to maximize the grocery shopping experience, week in and week out, starting with discounts and coupons (online grocery discount sites such as Coupons.com and GroceryCouponsForFree.com can help you there) and including more creative steps to maximize your grocery store experience, save money and eat better in the process.
Start with the day and time you hit the grocery store.
Researchers at Cornell University say shoppers who ventured out earlier in the day (between 1 and 4 p.m.) bought less high-calorie foods than those who shopped between 4 and 7 p.m.)
But the best time to go shopping may be first thing in the morning. That is when perishable foods such as dairy products and fruits and vegetables are most fresh, since in the age of logistics and inventory management, grocery stores usually have food delivered every day.
Financially, the best day of the week to go shopping is likely Wednesday — that's the day grocery stores start their weekly discount and coupon programs. It's also a day most stores will honor coupons from the previous week, giving shoppers a "discount double play."
The worst day of the week to shop might be Saturday, although there is little research on the topic. A 2008 study from the Time Use Institute does say that Saturday is, by far, the busiest grocery shopping day of the week, with 41 million shoppers (Friday is second, at 35 million).
Wednesday averages 30 million shoppers, according to the study, making for more room in the aisles.
Shop early Wednesday and use coupons and you'll beef up your food shopping experience and improve your sanity, diet and banking account at the same time.
More from MainStreet:
I have actually been in the check out line. The couple in front of me, with their EBT card, actually had frozen lobster, shrimp and crab legs in the cart, chips, soda, etc.
Are you kidding me!
They should be limited to Food items and not Luxury food items!
My husband and I spend about $200 a month on groceries, and we eat lots of meat and fresh veggies. We do probably go once a week, and he might buy his lunch once a week, but for the most part, that $200 pretty much covers us. I use coupons and buy generic when I can, and we have a meatless night once a week. Sometimes I think people think they need more food than they really do. Portion control is a lost concept in America.
I can't imagine nearly $800 a month for a family of 4! What in the world are they eating all day?!?!
I do 99% of my food shopping at Fred Meyer. The first Tuesday of each month they offer a 10% discount on their house brands. And you can use other coupons as well. We don't have the Wednesday ads coming out here. They are from Sunday-Saturday. The only complaint I have is that they are still stocking at 9-10 A.M. when the Sr. van takes us shopping. Have always been a coupon shopper and it does save money! Always have a list and seldom deviate from said list. If people would stop buying all of the pre-packaged crap and frozen food that is packed full of sodium they could cut their food bill down by a whole lot. Learn to cook and cook homemade from scratch. It's cheaper in the long run and a whole lot healthier! Don't have time? Take one of your days off and do prep work and/or fix meals for the whole week and freeze or refrigerate. Been there and done that in my younger years. You do what needs to be done to control your spending! Just sayin'......
$190 per week for food for 4 people is WAY more than "adequate". I don't think hand outs funded by my taxes need to be generous. I'd prefer to see food allowances reduced and more spent on shelters and helping people find jobs. Our food budget is less than that! If I had $190/month food budget for 2 adults and 2 kids, we could afford to serve LOTS of junk food snacks and ready-made meals (and even some inexpensive restaurant meals) so we'd hardly ever have to spend any time or discipline actually budgeting and planning and WORKING in the kitchen to make ends meet! As it is, we work our jobs, work at shopping and meal planning, can't afford to allow ourselves or the kids to 'graze' through the cupboards at will all week long, and we MOSTLY avoid restaurants and ready-made foods...all to 'get by' with no handouts.
Maybe government and the Fed will work on taking the last 3 cents of purchasing value left in our Fiat Dollar?
'Our' [labor] creates more wealth than it ever has. Yet, we now have the lowest Standard of Living since World War II. The oppressive Bureaucracy in control of 'our' government must be removed!

The Richland Library Historical Collections is comprised of materials depicting Columbia, S.C. found in the Walker Local and Family History Center- including digitized books, ledgers, playbills and civil-war era lithographs from various original sources.
In 2011 Robert B. Ariail donated an extraordinary collection of historical astronomy to the University of South Carolina and the South Carolina State Museum. Over the past half-century, Mr. Ariail built a collection that encompassed both historic telescopes and astronomical instruments, now at the State Museum, and more than 5,000 rare books and other published items, now housed in the University's Irvin Department of Rare Books & Special Collections.
Kidnapped, Robert Louis Stevenson's novel about the adventures of young David Balfour, is one of the Scottish author's most famous works. Set in eighteenth-century Scotland, Kidnapped originally appeared in serialized form in James Henderson's literary magazine Young Folks Paper from May 1 to July 31, 1886.
The Russell Maxey Photograph Collection at Richland Library includes over 7000 negatives, including images taken by Maxey and earlier photographers. Russell Maxey's photographs allow researchers a glimpse into a southern city undergoing dramatic shifts in its economic, physical and social landscape. The negatives are housed in the Walker Local and Family History Center.

The Samuel Hudson Photograph Collection features photographs from the Hudson family. Samuel Hudson (1921-2006), a native of Georgetown County, was the son of Melvin and Wilhelmina Hudson. He served with the U.S. Marine Corps during WWII and returned to Georgetown to operate several prosperous businesses including Hudson's Real Estate Agency. He served as the director of Horry-Georgetown Economic Opportunity Council, Inc. and was a member of Bethel A.M.E. Church where he served as a trustee.
Samuel Lander, Jr. was born in Lincolnton, North Carolina, of Irish parents who had immigrated to America in 1818. He devoted his life to education and the ministry. He graduated as valedictorian from Randolph-Macon College (then in Boydton, VA) in 1852. For a short time he practiced civil engineering and studied law. In December of 1853 he married Laura Ann McPherson.
Originally conceived in the late 18th Century, fire insurance maps provided structural and urban environmental information necessary for insurance underwriters. Founded in 1867 in the United States, the Sanborn National Insurance Diagram Bureau systematically produced ascetically appealing, but also efficient, maps nationwide. This New York firm expanded and grew immensely, finally emerging as the Sanborn Map Company in 1902. Eighteen years later the company effectively monopolized the insurance map industry.
The University of South Carolina libraries have been acquiring works by Scottish authors since the early nineteenth century. With the addition of the extensive G. Ross Roy Collection in 1989, South Carolina now has major research holdings across a wide range of Scottish writing. Indeed, in the words of one recent visitor, it is "the best Burns collection in North America."
The Diary of a Voyage to China, 1850-1851, the private diary of Captain Thomas Small, reveals the intense loneliness of command and details the longing he feels for the wife and newborn son he left behind. He comments on marriage, child-rearing, and religion, and frequently expresses his desire to find employment "ashore" to better provide for his family. In addition to these personal entries, he provides rich details of a mid-nineteenth century life at sea.
This comprehensive set of Columbia area images includes 146 prints from periods ranging from 1865 to 1980. The collection was amassed from various long time photographers in the community such as John A. Sargeant, Charles Old and Walter Blanchard. They operated studios in the city from the period c. 1915 through 1960. The images include street scenes, buildings, special activities, and related subjects. Most of the collection consists of copies from original prints. It was donated to the SC State Museum in 1988.

Get the iPhone 5 unlocked in ebay. There are several users now offering IMEI unlock (basically, they are requesting the unlock through the official AT&T channels, probably employees) for 5 USD. Recommended user is unlock_fusion, with more than 80K positive feeddback (that's crazy).This is permanent. Then you go to France, and buy the equivalent of a pay as you go network. You will not get LTE with your AT&T iPhone 5, but you will be able to get 3G.

I have an iPhone 5, and an older iPhone 4. They are both on the AT&T network.
I am hoping to use these somehow as my main device for reference while in Paris. My question is what is my best option?
I was thinking about buying a SIM card and have it activated for 1 month. The problem is, I am going on December 26-January 4th.
What do you guys think?

The Orioles are interested in Adam LaRoche, but at what cost?
The Orioles need a power hitter for the middle of their lineup. They have a vacant spot at first base, if they can get someone that's better defensively than Chris Davis.

Investigating The Other Cleanse
While cleansing remains the style set's preferred way to purge the system of toxins before (or after) big events, there is that other, less frequently cited "C" word that is many a front-row regular's secret weapon for keeping the body looking and feeling its best: colonics. The process of manually flushing the colon with a mix of water and liquid chlorophyll rose to popularity in the early aughts, when cleansing hit its peak, but the treatment has received some bad press over the past few years that has taken it off the pages of Us Weekly and made it more of a covert affair. "There's definitely a negative stigma," says Tracy Piper, proprietress of Soho's Piper Center for Internal Wellness, who blames colonics' bad rap on botched colonoscopies and ill-advised at-home kits.
As far as Piper is concerned, though, colonics never went out of style. Just ask the impressive list of celebrity clients she has amassed since opening her treatment center six years ago, which includes more than a few A-list actresses, designers, and catwalkers (Piper likes to leave specific names off the record, but believe us when we tell you that you'd be impressed). "People keep it to themselves," she says of acolytes of her patented Accucolonics, an acupuncture and colonic hybrid in which Piper, a trained massage therapist (she used to work with the New York Giants) and student of alternative medicine, stimulates certain pressure points to further increase the efficacy of the colonic machine. "The forehead directly correlates with the small intestine, the area around your mouth with the large intestine, your chin with your stomach," she explains.
"But it's not just for models," Piper swears of the service, which reduces bloating, magically clears up the complexion, and can even help you drop a few pounds when you follow her post-procedure dietary recommendations, as we discovered on a recent visit (no more gluten or dairy for us). "It's for your health"—a mantra that more and more wellness professionals are getting on board with. Alejandro Junger, a doctor of detox and a frequently quoted expert on Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop newsletter, is a big fan of Piper's work. Ditto organic skincare powerhouse Tata Harper and the brain trust behind New York's Organic Avenue fresh pressed juices, both of whom will be a part of Piper's brand-new retail concept at her recently expanded studio, which officially opens next week. "No one does colonics like I do colonics," the supremely gentle Piper insists, which very well may be true. Complimentary add-ons like aromatherapy—"lemon oil helps with nausea"—and Piper's three years of psychotherapy education make a session with Tracy unlike anything you'll ever experience. "It's not just about removing physical waste," Piper says. "It's about getting emotional waste out, too."

Special edition MINIs are nothing new to us, so when word spreads that the brand is going to release a new limited run model, we shrug our shoulders because we pretty much have an idea of what to expect. The only time a special edition MINI catches our attention is when the car looks stunning enough to make us want to actually buy one.
For better or for worse, the Cooper Mat Edition fits that description to a tee.
The good news is that we absolutely love it, despite the minimal changes done to it relative to other special edition MINIs. The matte black paint finish usually has something to do with it, but in this case, the overall stealth and sleek look certainly makes it a barn-burning, head-turning, smoke-belching piece of machinery.
The bad news is that it's going to be run on only 250 units making it a little more difficult to scoop one up. Unfortunately, though, that's not even the worst part. As if the 250 units isn't bad enough, the cars are being sold exclusively in France. Yep. France. Land of the Louvre and the Eiffel.
So much for getting our dibs in on this special edition MINI…
Details on the MINI Cooper Mat Edition after the jump.
Gallery Mini Cooper S
Exterior and Interior
Apart from the matte black exterior paint finish and the checkered covers on both side mirrors, the MINI Cooper Mat Edition doesn't have a whole lot of striking features that significantly differentiate it from other Cooper models.
On top of the exterior paint, the special edition Cooper also has a special numbering signifying its slot in the 250 units on the side air intakes as well as a numbered key ring.
The new Cooper S is powered by a new 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and a new 2.0-liter engine, capable of producing around 147 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60 in seven seconds with a fuel consumption of 48.7 mpg.
For the Mat Edition Cooper, MINI is making it available on a wide range of Cooper variants, including the standard Cooper , the Cooper D, and the Cooper S John Cooper Works .
No official word yet on the pricing, but we're forecasting an amount of somewhere around 20,000 or about $26,000 based on current exchange rates.
With the advent of sports hatches continuing to grow these days, MINI has made it perfectly clear that they are of the premium level. So, essentially, they compete with only a few brands that can reach that very same level. On that end, one model that can stake a claim to the Cooper's metaphorical title of best premium hatch is the Audi A1.
Audi's premium hatchback also comes with two TDI units and two more small displacement TFSI gasoline burning power plants that produce 122 horsepower. It's not as powerful as the Cooper S, but in terms of star quality, the A1 can stand toe-to-toe with the best MINI has to offer, including the France-bound Mat Edition.
- Matte finish is awesome
- Dark, stealthy, and stylish
- Won't cause an arm and a leg
- Limited run of 250 units
- Exclusively sold in France
- Other equally enticing options to choose from

I was so happy to read Sylvia Carter's recent article in Newsday about Pimiento Cheese. Ms. Carter, a fellow Hamlet Organic Garden member, discusses her childhood growing up down south and how pimiento cheese is pretty unfamiliar to us Northerners.
I must admit that it wasn't until about a year ago that I had learned about pimiento cheese and that was from an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri on the Food Network. Guy had traveled down to North Carolina to The Penguin where owner Greg Auten showed him how to make a really great Pimiento Cheese spread. Ever since watching the episode I have had a hankerin for some pimiento cheese. So, when Stefani and I picked up a new food processor the other day, pimiento cheese was the first thing on my list to make.
I searched the web for pimiento cheese recipes and stumbled upon a recipe attributed to The Penguin, so I figured that would be a great starting point.
Now, I made mine with Monterey Jack cheese and not Pepper Jack, but that's only because Pepper Jack wasn't available at the time (I'd probably use Pepper Jack next time although one wouldn't have missed it had they only tried the Monterey). Also, instead of the green chile sauce, I used Frank's Red Hot. Ultimately, in the end, I was very happy with my pimiento cheese and wait till you hear what I did with it.
Pimiento Cheese
1 pound grated Cheddar
1/2 pound grated Monterey Jack
1 (4-ounce) can diced pimentos
1/3 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/3 teaspoons granulated onion
About 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
About 1/2 tablespoon Frank's Red Hot
2/3 cup organic mayonnaise
In a food processor, combine ingredients well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Now, as a quick snack, I like to take a piece of pancetta and fry that up in a nonstick pan. I put the crispy pancetta onto a sandwich of whitebread and pimiento cheese and then fry that sandwich up in the pancetta fat in the nonstick pan, making a Pimiento and Pancetta Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Or even better, as I recently discovered, slather some 'memto cheese onto a burger to make a Pimiento Cheeseburger (easy for us as we keep Coleman Organic burgers in the freezer).

Notes on notes
November 15th, 2012 at 12:18 am by Dr. Drang
Shortly after the 24:00 mark in the latest episode of Gabe Weatherhead's Generational podcast, Gabe's guest, Walton Jones, starts talking about his system for annotating and summarizing academic papers. If you can listen to that 8- to 10-minute stretch without being inspired to improve your own methods for managing the flood of information in your job, then you're dead to me.
Walton's system
To be sure, Walton's system is highly tuned to the specifics of his profession. As a scientist, a good portion of his time is spent analyzing and synthesizing the research of others. That research comes to him in the form of PDFs of journal papers. He adds color-coded annotations to the PDFs as he reads them: red for summaries, green for references, yellow for results, and so on. This may sound like nothing more than a digital version of Post-it notes, but Walton has an amazing trick up his sleeve. When he's done reading a paper, he runs an AppleScript that goes through the PDF and creates a Markdown document with all the paper's annotations listed by page number and organized according to category (summary, reference, result, etc.). The Markdown is then turned into a new page in a VoodooPad document.
So he has this VoodooPad document with his notes on the papers he's read, which is nice, but that's not the end. Each individual note in VoodooPad is linked to the page of the PDF to which it refers. The power of this system is that he can search through his VoodooPad document, which has his notes and therefore uses terminology that come naturally to him while searching, and when he finds what he's looking for, he can click a link and be taken immediately to the right spot in the right paper. This is so much better than simply searching through abstracts or lists of keywords, all of which are words chosen by others.
But don't just go by my description, read Walton's own explanation of his system.
My system
While I don't pore over research papers anymore, I do deal with a menagerie of documents—drawings, photographs, videos, test reports, deposition testimony, presentation slides, email trails—that are increasingly in some sort of electronic format. I try to organize this mess by turning everything except the photos and videos into PDFs. Like Walton, I make notes on these documents as I go through them, but I don't do it the way he does.
My system is based on talking. Long ago, I talked into a voice recorder. Later, I started talking into my iPhone, using Griffin's iTalk app. With both of these systems, I'd replay the recording to myself and type up the notes, usually cleaning up the sentence structure as I went along. For the past two months, though, I've had a much better system: Siri.
Say all the mean things you want about Siri; for me, she's a great dictation transcriber. The individual notes I make as I read through a document are typically one or two sentences long, which is just about the perfect length for Siri. In Notesy, I tap the microphone button on the keyboard, say my one or two sentences, and tap Done. A few seconds later, the note appears. Unless I've hemmed and hawed or there's a peculiar word, the transcription needs no editing and I move on.
I have a particular format I prefer, with the page number on a line of its own, then the note itself, then a blank line. A typical session would be me saying something like
Fifty-two. New line. A solid or liquid to a change in direction will be as great as a ton per square inch. Period. There are many transformations of motion. Period. New paragraph.
which comes out in Notesy as
Notesy syncs to Dropbox, so the file will be on my Mac when I'm done making notes. The format is not exactly Markdown, but it's easy to run a global search-and-replace to add a pair of space characters after each page number to provide the line breaks I want in the output. Marked then turns the text file into a PDF.
This is a pretty good system, but what's missing—and what Walton inspired me to add—are links from my notes to the page numbers in the original documents. Since I keep my summaries in the same directory as the original documents, the links could be added this way in Markdown:
A solid or liquid to a change in direction will be as
great as a ton per square inch. Period. There are many
transformations of motion.
I'm currently working on a script that'll do this. It works, but it isn't especially robust and there's too much "by hand" work in turning the Markdown into a PDF. I'll do a complete post when I get those problems solved.
I should mention here that neither Preview (under Lion) nor PDFpenPro handles page number links correctly. Preview opens the original document (sometimes—other times it refuses and says I don't have permission to open it, which is probably some kind of sandboxing stupidity) but won't go the linked page number. PDFpenPro doesn't even get that far; it opens a blank document that it claims in the title bar is original document.
Skim, on the other hand, handles page number links like a boss. This was a little surprising to me, because Walton says in another post that it doesn't and that he had to write a script to word around that limitation. All I can say is that Skim has worked fine in all my tests so far. I just need to get that script working so I can start using summaries with links.

Automating Markdown to PDF? The way I do it is to install Pandoc and MacTex and use
pandoc input.md -o output.pdf. I'll admit that the 2+GB download of TeX always seems rather excessive, but as I'm converging on a LaTeX based workflow, that doesn't bother me too much…
Walton says:
Thanks for the interest and the kind words Dr. Drang. I am finally satisfied with my solution, but I am still curious about how you are getting the Skim links to work. My problem was having a Skim-specific url scheme that obeys the page command. I was able to use file://example-report.pdf#page=52 to load the local file in a browser and hit the right page, but then the Skim annotation file is not loaded and I have to look around the page for the thing I had noted. If the file is launched in Skim, the annotations are loaded simultaneously and I can see right away what I am looking for. Is Skim moving to the right page for you?
Dr. Drang says:
I guess the reason page-specific links in Skim are working for me is that I start with my summary document (which is itself a PDF) in Skim, so
file://type links are staying in the same application. I realize now that this is an important difference between your setup and mine: you need a link that opens a file to a particular page in a particular application, whereas I just need a link that opens a file to a particular page.
I'll use MultiMarkdown for the conversion to PDF. It's not a big deal; I just need to get myself up to speed on the current version. I've been using a customized version for years that's tuned to the format I use for reports—not appropriate for these summary documents.
As for Pandoc, I've had difficulty installing GHC in the past and am not interested in trying again.
Rohit Sharma says:
Thank you for posting this, Dr. Drang. As a Master's student who reads 100s of pages a week for school, it's nice to find new ways to get a handle on my notes.
Have you found a method for reading PDFs that works well for you, too?
I like using iBooks on my iPad because of the full-screen view, offline access, and retina display, but copying papers via USB stopped being fun a long time ago.
Bill says:
Rohit, Try ReaddleDocs for viewing/annotating PDFs on iOS. Like GoodReader, it is highly versatile, reads many formats, and has Dropbox syncing. Unlike GoodReader, it has a pleasing UI. Annotations persist across platforms, so notes and highlights made on iPad can be seen on Mac.
There are a number of good PDF-specific iPad readers, but none of them have turned me away from ReaddleDocs. PDFPen is notable in that it enables easy PDF creation; iAnnotate in that it allows you to open one PDF in more than one tab.
Bill says:
And let me just add that I keep GoodReader on my iOS devices for one good reason: it will pretty much open anything you can throw at it!
Dr. Drang says:
I tend use Preview or Skim (no iPad) or, horror of horrors, I print the PDFs out and read that quaint combination of ink and paper. Drawings are almost always better viewed on paper because you can spread them out across a table and follow the cross-references more easily.
John says:
Dr. Drang: Pandoc has been available for some time as a Mac installer package with no dependancies, and its extensive support, with user templates, for other input and output formats has led to it replacing MultiMarkdown for me.
Stuart Dootson: For converting Markdown to PDF with Pandoc there is no need for the full MacTex download. It is possible to use the 64 MB download of BasicTeX which includes all the packages required to use the default Pandoc templates.
Rohit Sharma says:
Bill, ReaddleDocs was a great recommendation. The Dropbox sync works well, and it seems to even render PDF pages quicker than iBooks. Thank you!
Dr. Drang, As nice as the iPad is, you're right that dead trees are still the best experience for reading papers - probably even moreso compared to the Mini. Thank you for recommending Skim, though - I haven't come across it in grad school yet, and it seems like a nice alternative to Preview.

Your favorite stocks, 15% off
One group of funds is trading for 10% to 15% below the value of the stocks they hold. That's a bargain, particularly as stocks come back into favor.
Given the recent market strength, many of the best large-cap stocks are rallying hard.
But what if I told you that you could buy a lot of the best blue-chip stocks right now at a 10% to 15% discount?
Sounds too good to be true, I know. But let me show you how to get big names like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Philip Morris International (PM), AT&T (T), Procter & Gamble (PG), Qualcomm (QCOM), McDonald's (MCD), Costco Wholesale (COST), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) today, at large discounts.
You can do this by turning to a hybrid type of fund that often gets overlooked by investors, even though it has a storied history going back a century or more: the closed-end fund. Stock-oriented funds in this class own a lot of shares of companies like those above, and the funds are selling for less than the value of their portfolios.
In short: Buy them, and you buy your favorite stocks at a discount. I'll have a list of some particularly attractive options at the end of the column, but first we'll look at how these funds work.
A closed-end primer
Unlike mutual funds, which get the capital they invest directly from investors, closed-end funds raise investment capital in an initial public offering.
As with mutual funds, you get access to their portfolio holdings by purchasing fund shares, but those shares trade throughout the day like stocks. And unlike mutual funds, when you buy, your money goes to an investor who is selling, rather than to the fund for use in expanding its holdings.
This is also why closed-end funds can provide access to stocks at a discount. Because their shares trade like stocks, closed-end funds get pushed around by market supply and demand. Thus, a fund's shares can move independently of where the shares "should" be trading based on the market value of the fund's stock (or bond) holdings.
So, a closed-end fund might trade at a market cap of $90 million, even though the value of all its stocks adds up to $100 million. Such a fund would be said to be trading at a 10% discount to its "net asset value," or NAV. NAV just means the market value of all its investments.
When you buy this closed-end fund at a 10% discount, you're getting a piece of all the stocks it owns for 10% less than what they are worth in the market. These bargains show up more often than you might think.
But why?
One big reason: The fund may specialize in a sector or asset class that's out of favor. In essence, you're betting that the sector will come back into favor, close the discount and give you a profit.
Here's why that matters right now.
For the past few years, investors have decidedly favored bonds and the "safety" of income over stocks. So income-producing closed-end funds trade close to NAV or even at a premium. Meanwhile, many stock-oriented closed-end funds are now selling at a discount, and current prices could prove to be bargains if stocks come back into favor.
"We think 2013 is the year that will change," says Cecilia Gondor, an analyst with Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors, which specializes in closed-end funds.
Indeed, there's evidence that investors are turning back toward stocks. If this keeps up, stock-oriented closed-end funds trading at discounts should pay off as those discounts shrink.
A new fund of closed-end funds
Problem is, it would take you hours to get up to speed on closed-end funds and then monitor them daily to spot the discounts. One way around this is to purchase shares of a new mutual fund that specializes in buying discounted closed-end funds.
It's called Virtus Herzfeld Fund (VHFCX) and it is run by Tom Herzfeld and his team at Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors. Tom Herzfeld has followed closed-end funds for decades, and he's considered one of the top experts in this space. An offering with a similar strategy, his firm's Flagship Balanced Portfolio for private clients, has produced 7% annualized returns over the past 10 years. The Virtus Herzfeld Fund, which just launched, pays a 6% yield. The fund charges 2.35% in expenses and has a load of 1%, so the fees are a little high. But the 7% return for the private fund was against an expense ratio of around 3%, which is a combination of Herzfeld's fees plus the fees charged by the underlying closed-end funds he invests in.
Herzfeld typically watches for unusual discounts in closed-end funds and then pounces on them, which makes this a kind of value approach to investing. He likes funds that not only trade at a discount, but also at a markdown that's bigger than their historical discount.
For example, his mutual fund owns shares of Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (AOD), a closed-end stock fund that trades at a 13% discount to its NAV, compared with an average discount of about 1% over the past three years. Alpine recently hit the slopes because it cut its "distribution rate," a kind of payout to investors. But the current discount is likely to narrow and return closer to those historical levels of around 1%, meaning the shares should rise from here.
Another example: Herzfeld's mutual fund owns shares of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (DEX), a foreign-stock closed-end fund that trades at a 4.5% discount compared with about a 1% discount over the past three years. Another holding is AllianzGI International & Premium Strategy Fund (NAI), a closed-end foreign-stock fund going for a 4.2% discount compared with an average discount of 1.4%.
The average discount on closed-end funds in the Virtus Herzfeld Fund has been running just below 10%. Often such gaps close independently of what is going on in the stock market, meaning Herzfeld's funds can go up even in a sideways market. So theoretically, at least, the Herzfeld mutual fund can add diversification to your portfolio, points out Peter Batchelar, of Virtus Investment Partners (VRTS).
Large-cap stocks at large discounts
If you want to buy the closed-end funds themselves to get at some discounted blue-chip stocks, here's a quick guide to help you.

A pretty cool song that wasn't here when I looked for it and the chords I found online
weren't very accurate (Not saying these will be 100% either, but I like them better than
what I found.)
F: xx3211
Dm: xx0231
A#: x13331
Note: This can also be played with a capo on the 5th fret and by playing the open chords
of C, Am and F from there (Actually F, Dm and A#, but they look like the open chords
from the capo).
Intro: F Dm A# F
F Dm
When I hear the rain a comin' down
F Dm
it makes me sad and blue
F Dm
Was on a rainy night like this
that Flo said we were through.
F Dm
I told her how I loved her,
F Dm
and I begged her not to go
F Dm
But another man had changed her mind
so I said goodbye to Flo.
F Dm
Alone within my cell tonight
F Dm
my heart is filled with fear
F Dm
The only sound within the room
is the falling of each tear.
F Dm
I think about the thing I've done,
F Dm
I know it wasn't right
F Dm A# F
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
They're hanging me tonight!
That night he came and took my Flo and headed in to town
I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down
As I walked by a dim cafe and I looked through the door
I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more,
I couldn't stand no more.
I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand
I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man
That good for nothin' man!
I think about the thing I've done I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
They're hanging me tonight.
I think the second F in the intro is actually a C.

Terrific Pacific Brewery and Grill is the only San Diego brewery situated right on the beach. This spot combines great food with beautiful views. From the sky deck, situated above Pacific Beach, you can take in the ocean and surrounding areas, while the ground-level patio is perfectly placed for viewing the non-stop parade of this famous beach. The beer from the house brewery is pumped right into the taps, assuring its freshness. The menu is varied, and includes seafood, pasta, sandwiches and various weekday specials.

Amazingly fast and scalable. In just seconds it will open files that crash competing apps. 20MB file? 50,000 records? No problem. (However, recent tests have shown occasional out-of-memory errors for files of more than 1.5 million lines. We hope to improve this in the future, but for now this seems to be the effective file limit.)
CSV data may can be exported from Excel, MySql, MobileDB, or the Web. Whatever the source, whatever the size, Data Bee will show it to its best advantage.
Paid version remembers configs and edits files.

Those of you familiar with OurStage have probably already heard a lot about Christofer Drew of NeverShoutNever!. He's the kid making waves all across the pop circuit (even landing on TRL before it shut down) all without a label.
The kid has worked hard to keep everything independent, including the music video shoot for his hit single, "BigCityDreams." We were invited to come along for the shoot in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Roya (Coffee Leaf Rust) a.k.a. Hemileia Vastatrix is this year's Central American coffee farmers' # 1 enemy. It's a fungus that causes coffee leaves to fall, starving out the plant and drastically reducing cherry production. Roya is the most damaging, widespread coffee disease, found everywhere except for Hawaii. We had never seen such a severe attack in El Salvador as we're seeing now: thousands of acres of what used to be beautiful plants are now leafless, dry twigs.
You can recognize the plague by the light-orange powdery lesions (spots) on the underside of infected leaves, shown on the photo above. A few spots on a leaf can cause it to fall and die.
Roya spreads over large distances mainly by wind, landing on coffee leaves and penetrating through the 'skin' into the leaves' internal photosynthesis factory where it sucks out nutrients. Eventually the fungus produces new spores on infected leaves (one lesion produces 4 to 6 spore crops over a 3–5 month period releasing 300,000 to 400,000 spores) and continues to spread.
Water is necessary for disease development, with rain playing a vital part by providing moisture for spore germination and then aiding in dispersal through rain splash. Seasonal variation in disease incidence is mostly due to variation in rainfall patterns. Therefore, the spread of this fungus is usually limited to the rainy season though the disease is often evident in the forthcoming dry season, since incubation time between infection and lesion development is around 3 to 6 weeks.
In the past El Salvador had well defined wet and dry seasons, though lately we're seeing quite a few unexpected showers during harvest season, allowing the plague to keep spreading all year round. Last month we visited a farm that looked incredibly healthy and when we returned 3 weeks later, leaf rust was everywhere, leaving barely any leaves standing. Added to this, roya used to be considered a threat only for low altitude coffee, however in recent years we have observed the fungus spread to Strictly High Growth coffee zones.
Roya has short and long term consequences. To start, it reduces the photosynthetic capacity of infected leaves and at high infection levels causes leaves to fall, leading to less vegetative growth and smaller berry size. How?
A starving plant has no energy to produce tasty beans! Think of a roya infected plant as a smoker running a marathon. Having less leaves is like having reduced lung capacity, midway through the race you'll run out of steam. A plant with very few leaves is low on energy and has to decide: should I use my remaining energy to make baby beans or should I make leaves so I can survive?
|Hemileia vastatrix spreads, the leaves fall, the plant starves = no beans.
|Diseased plantation above vs healthier farm below
Though early intervention decreases the spread of the disease, this can be frustrating because even if you combat the fungus in your own plantation with effective land management and fungicides, your neighbor might not, due to carelessness or lack of funds. The photo above is from a farm that has been basically abandoned to plagues, not only leaf rust but also cercospora and anthracnose. This mismanaged farm provides excellent accommodations for plagues, helping them spread to neighboring farms.
|Top side of roya infected leaves
In conclusion, due to irregular rainfall, roya now has a longer period to spread and because of either climate change or evolution of the plague, it now reaches higher altitudes it hadn't affected before. Is this the end of Bourbon predominance in El Salvador? Will this turn out to be a passing phase or will roya continue until it decimates our plants? Should we start ripping out our Bourbons and start planting less flavorsome, more resistant hybrid varieties? This is a tough choice facing farmers now, and one which could completely alter El Salvador's mountain landscape.

Hat tip Michelle Malkin. Demotivational version via the watcher.
where is the picture?
Opus, when I came over here, the picture didn't show up.
I went to MM's blog and found it over there. You took the words right out of my mouth: it's about time.
My secret is found out. The pic didn't load properly because my internet died yesterday. I tried blogging via Blackberry but the pic didn't attach properly, and now I can't get in to edit. This is frustrating.
So anybody else who comes by, please click on the Malkin link in my blogroll.
Thanks for letting me know.
WHile it nice to see Dear leader bow to a real leader. I still beleive Obama does it out of habbit and reflex.
This man would bow to a toilet if the opportunity arised.
Don't you just love that? I had to put it on my blog when I saw it too.
Scalawag, bowing to a toilet. Ha! Thanks for the laugh.
Kristin, great minds think alike.
I'd so love to get worked up about this ... but it looks like he's bent over laughing.
Merri, I guess context matters.
But there is no doubt that Obowma has traveled the world. Bowing to foreign potentates. And there is no doubt that those actions are contary to the American spirit.
It is really not OK for our president to bow to anybody. If he bowed to Christie, that does not please me. But it IS funny.
Hi Opie! That is a funny pic. He'd bow to a ham sandwich, but for once he got it right!
Have a very fun weekend, my friend. Hope things are going great over your way.
'Don Christie, thank you for letting me come to your state. But, you know, that whole tax-cut thing simply will not do...ow...ow...ow...you're hurting me...ow..ow..ow.'
I posted it over at my site with a link back here.
Hope this helps. When you get some time, copy it from there is you like.
That was a great photo, so I added captions and posted it yesterday:
I think I have bowed to a toilet a few times!
I will post and link over today. Great Picture!
Yes, no doubt ...him bowing to everyone has me in complete fits ... what an a%% he is ...
I De-motivated the pic: http://theobservatorium.blogspot.com/2010/07/obama-bows-again.html
TCL, I LOVE what you did with the pic.
Watcher, your demotivational version finally motivated me to put up the pic. :-)

Before & After: Rebecca's Awesome Affordable Airstream Makeover
Attention all day-dreamers, travel-lovers and small space dwellers! You'll love this makeover of an Airstream — bought and designed on a tight budget. It's inspiring to those who love color in compact spaces, too!
From Rebecca:
Last Fall, I was offered a new job with an RV travel website: the catch? I had to buy an RV on a barista's budget. After months of cruising Craigslist for something affordable yet livable, my dream trailer appeared near Albuquerque — a 1967 Sovereign International, complete with mid-century built-ins. After a scrub down, some bright swaths of Pantone's Cockatoo paint, and fabric covers on the cabinets, I'm loving my new home on the road! Not counting plumbing work, the cost of the facelift was around $300, including small furniture items and kitchenware.
Get even more jealous perusing Rebecca's website.
Thank you Rebecca!

I love it and I want it!
Love it. I have been perusing Craigslist for my very own camper.
A Whimsical Girl Named Debbie
Lucky you! What a great find and great inexpensive update.
Looks great. I think mine would be mostly kitchen.
Super cute!
My Sekrit Dream is to chuck everything but the cats & my laptop & take off in one of these. I probably never will, but the fantasy remains. One of my favorite mind games when I'm on a declutter rampage is to figure out what I'd keep if dream ever became reality. Then I use that list as the basis for purging stuff that *doesn't* make the cut. I'd love to see more of these.
Delightful! But where did the sink go?
Very cool!
The sink was camera shy. It is on the counter opposite the one with the fridge.
Outstanding!!! And for only 300 wow.
Frida would have loved this.
Really charming. The only quibble I have is that in one shot it appears that a few of the posters appear taped to the newly painted cabinets and I hope it won't ruin them. Other than that great job! Love the small piecrust pedestal table, unexpected and a touch of elegance.
What happened to the other bed?
Really shows that taste and no money will get you so much further than money and no taste. Love the Frida paperdoll and clothes at the foot of the bed.
awesome! enjoy your new job.
Whoa, well done!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!! Did you remove a bed? It looks like there are two beds across from each other in the before and only one in the after....
I love these things,but Ive always wanted to go full out Gypsy on them ! Lots of velvet and gilded furniture,peacock feathers and cut crystal.
Love it! You mentioned $300 without the plumbing... How much did the plumbing cost to fix? I'm asking because I am looking to buy one!
very difficult to see that anything was done when items in the before are not in the after & vice versa (windows and sink, for starters). please post from same angle.
Pi. and LibbyP- I removed the second bed to make room for a big art desk. cara100- the plumbing would've cost almost as much as the trailer itself, luckily a friend did a lot of the work for free. The whole project was pulled off with a lot of help, loaner paintbrushes and tools, and a lot of thrifting!
amisdottir- there are more "before" pics at http://www.tincantraveler.com/2014/02/almost-there.html
Nice job. Glad you kept the MCM look and feel!
Frida Kahlo book is the best addition!!! I love your updated mobile home!
Hi Rebecca I am looking to do something similar and would love to talk with you about how your found and redid the trailer, the upkeep, your job, etc. Let me know if you are willing to talk about your experiences. I looked for a way to contact you on your blog but couldn't find one. I will give you my email address if you are willing to help.
Love the colors used in this trailer.

Week 3 of the 2013 NFL season is just an hour away from kicking-off, as the Philadelphia Eagles will host former head coach Andy Reid and his new team, the Kansas City Chiefs, in a matchup of two teams that will hope to rebound from disastrous 2012 campaigns that saw both squads lose double-digit games, but are a combined 3-1 thus far.
New Eagles coach Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense has been a treat to watch through the first two weeks, but they'll get a nice test tonight against a Chiefs defense that has allowed just 16 points through tow games (Jaguars scored on safety in Week 1), so this will be a clash of contrasting styles tonight.
The Kansas City Chiefs inactives include QB Tyler Bray, TE Anthony Fasano, TE Travis Kelce, C/G Eric Kush, DT Jaye Howard, LB Josh Martin and LB Nico Johnson.
The Philadelphia eagles inactives include QB Matt Barkley, CB Roc Carmichael, CB Jordan Poyer, OT Matt Tobin, OT Dennis Kelly, DT Damion Square and TE Emil Igwenagu

Govinda makes vegetarian choice easy
We ( Menu pages ) would like to let you know that a new review has been posted for Govindas ( Aungier Street - Dublin )
Review by the "Heat"
Way back when I was a Dublin university slacker trying to eat out on about six euros a day Govindas was a regular haunt of mine. While you can no longer get a lunch plate loaded with rice, paneer and the special of the day for three euros, the place is still great value and the same 'classic' menu remains. If you're a regular then you'll know which day to go for the excellent vegetarian moussaka, (Tuesday), I'd also recommend the homemade cheesecakes - actually among the best I've ever had. Goloka, who runs the place, is always chilled out and welcoming.
My verdict on Govindas: Cult classic!

If you're not from Minnesota, you might not know that there's a modest little music club here called First Avenue. Or maybe the name of the club rouses some far-off memory drawn from glammy Prince movies or low-quality YouTube videos of The Replacements. (Or, if you're like 20, from low-quality YouTube videos of Doomtree?)
Anyway, Andrea Swensson, now a writer for The Current, recently did an interview with Conrad Sverkerson, the club's stage manager for the past 22 years. (He's also one of my mom's many little brothers.)
If you're not into old guys talking about old rock clubs, it's still worth skipping to the 42:00 mark in the link above just to listen to uncle Con talk about waking up a sleeping Chuck D backstage. "I went into the dressing room and I was talking to Terminator X…" (He also sort of rips into Technotronic?)
One sort of adorable(?) thing about both the article and the radio interview is how apparently terrifying First Avenue's chief babysitter is. "Sverkerson carries himself with an air of authority and has earned a reputation as an enigmatic, intimidating persona." (Anyone who thinks he's intimidating obviously hasn't met uncle Billy?)

White Castle Enters Food Truck Game with the 'Crave Mobile'
White Castle's signature square sliders are rolling in style with the introduction of two brand new White Castle food trucks. The specially outfitted burger vehicles will start off catering special events (because let's be real, what wedding or funeral would be complete without a plate full of White Castle sliders?) and then branch out to offer more traditional dining services. Where exactly depends which areas of Louisville, Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio White Castle bigwigs deem lucky enough to receive a visit from the special slider trucks.
The trucks are still hammering out their menu, but right now it looks like they'll offer three variations on the traditional sliders that customers know and love. This includes the possibility of never-before-seen options like caramel fries that would be available for in-truck dining only. We gotta say, the mental image of one of these babies rolling up to our neighborhood and popping out tray after tray of sliders with a side (or three) of caramel fries is a pretty good one. Alas, White Castle's food truck experiment is confined to Kentucky and Ohio for now, so we'll just have to do some serious drooling from afar.
