Services expanding removal of SSNs on documents
Monday - 8/6/2012, 8:10am EDT
Erin Conaton, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, issued a memo last week detailing five specific steps services must take to remove or mask the use of social security numbers.
The memo states services should not use SSNs on spreadsheets, hard copy lists, electronic reports, or collect them in surveys. The military services and agencies also should review forms and systems to reduce SSN use.
DoD began this effort in April 2011, when it stopped printing SSNs on its secure identity cards.

God Lite: The Idolatry of Reduction
- Wednesday, June 21, 2006
When I lived in
If you've ever been there, you know how majestic and inspiring those enormous trees are. And if you've ever tried to explain them to someone who hasn't been there, you've probably noticed how difficult it is. It really can't be put into words; it can only be experienced.
Now suppose I gave you a box of toothpicks and a bottle of glue and told you to make a model of the redwood forest as a way to demonstrate its majesty for those who have never experienced it. How would you respond?
You might try to explain to me how insufficient any toothpick model would be. Or you might not even be able to stop laughing long enough to get the words out. Obviously, any image of the forest itself would do it injustice. It wouldn't capture it at all.
That's why God gave us the second commandment. In the first commandment, He told us who to worship. But He knew our hearts. The second commandment deals with the manner in which we worship. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God" (Exodus 20:4-5).
What does this have to do with us? This was a command for ancient peoples who were used to idols made of carved wood or molten metal. They knew nothing about an invisible, transcendent God, so God told them not to reduce Him to an object. But that's not a problem these days, is it? People just don't do that anymore; we don't make wooden or metal images of God. Can't we take a breather on this commandment?
No, and here's why. There is something in the human heart that wants to reduce God, to shrink Him and make Him manageable. We want to get Him on our terms where we can control Him. So we come up with some system of religion where we envision God, because if we can see Him or systematize Him, we can predict Him or even manipulate Him. And if we can predict or manipulate Him, we can get Him to fulfill our agenda.
Reducing God
We can see that happening in Exodus. Right after the Ten Commandments were given, the Israelites made a golden calf while Moses was up on the mountain talking to God. It was the first example of the slippery slope of idolatry. Their golden calf wasn't a violation of the first commandment; the text implies that they were worshiping the God who brought them out of
What's so wrong with that? Why can't we have little picture or statue to help us remember what God is like? Because shrinking Him a little bit in order to worship Him more concretely is going to fall short. It will always devalue Him. The Israelites' bull may have represented God's power, but it missed His holiness and purity, as evidenced by the immoral revelry that characterized their worship. The reason God tells us not to make idols is because they reduce Him. It's kind of like making a model of the redwoods with toothpicks and glue.

The auto industry and the fashion world have had collaborations since time immemorial. So it comes as no surprise that with the 2013 Geneva Motor Show just around the corner, we're seeing more and more of these partnerships come out of the woodwork again.
The latest one comes by way of smart and French urban fashion label Zadig & Voltaire. Considering the target market for both companies - the young, lifestyle-oriented, "it" crowd - the smart/Zadig & Voltaire collaboration appears to be, well, a "smart" one.
Available for both the coupe and cabriolet models of the fortwo , the Zadig & Voltaire limited edition will come to Geneva dressed to impress in a black finish with a silver motif trim that's distinctively dressed in the famous Zadig & Voltaire styling. The mirror caps also stand out for the choice of color while the LED daytime running lights add a touch of luxury to the normally subdued compact car.
Inside, the modifications are more striking, particularly the use of a black and anthracite leather with matching yellow stitching, including the enormous yellow embroidery on the back seat that pretty much tells you who designed this car: "smart by ZV".
If you look at the lower part of the dashboard and doors, more of the black and anthracite leather with embossed pattern and yellow stitching can be found, ensuring that there's no way you'll ever think of the smart fortwo by Zadir & Voltaire as just a standard model.
As soon as it finishes its stop at the Geneva, the fortwo Zadig & Voltaire Edition will retail in dealerships for €17,100 ($22,876) for the coupe and €20,450 ($27,358) for the cabrio.

But can you pray to it?
Religion is widely seen as offering people a moral compass, a powerful guide to judgment and behavior. But what if you believe in something besides religion? Could a faith in science similarly guide your values? The answer appears to be yes: In a new study, psychologists found that people who were studying science, believed in science, or were exposed to scientific words were harsher in condemning a crime and were more generous to others compared to people who weren't engaged with science. The authors of the study suggest "there is a lay image or notion of 'science' that is associated with concepts of rationality, impartiality, fairness, technological progress, and ultimately, the idea that we are to use these rational tools for the mutual benefit of all people in society."

During the Longhorn's rocky run this season, head coach Mack Brown has been a talking point since game one, with many rooting for their guy, others just wanting him gone.
Well now he's gone or at least on his way out.
Michael Witt says he wasn't getting tired of Mack like many were.
"Absolutely not, absolutely not. I didn't really see anything that he had done wrong that was damaging to Texas football. I mean it's only all positive so...it was kind of a surprise when I started hearing the rumors that he might be leaving," Witt said.
Saurabh Shauhan and Shane Gordon are sophomores at UT. They see Brown as a "great" coach.
"I really feel it's a really big selfless thing for him to step down because he definitely didn't have to. But he just wants what's better for the program and hopefully we'll move in a better direction," Shauhan said.
"Stepping down in my opinion is just like...he's doing it at the right time for what he feels is best for the team," Gordon said.
At Mexican restaurant El Arroyo, they change up the marquee every day with something creative or funny but Sunday it read "Thanks for everything Mack. You are the best. Hook 'em Horns."
Manager Adam Brace says a group of employees come up with an idea every night for the sign. He calls Brown an "Austin Icon" and appreciates his legacy.
"When I started being a big time Longhorn fan is when he was head coach so...yeah for sure," Brace said.
Back across town at Cain and Abel's Bar and Grill next to campus, UT senior Chandler Abbott sat with his dad and looked to the future of Longhorn Football -- a future that he'll get to see.
"Well lucky for me, I 'have' to stay here an extra semester so I get to kind of see the beginning of this new football era," Chandler said.
Abbott calls Brown a "legend"...but he feels he stepped down at the right time.
"Texas is so traditional. And while it's great that we always hire within UT and Mack Brown has been a figurehead for the university, I think we need a new face and a new step for recruits to see that we're in the right direction for progressing towards the elite level that we once were at for college football," Abbott said.
On the My Fox Austin Facebook page we asked our viewers what they wanted to say to the soon-to-be ex-coach Mack.
Jim writes "Thanks for leading with style and class in a time when 'ugly' is the norm.
Keith wrote "Mr. Brown, all due respect. once you failed to take responsibility for the team's losses, you were no longer entitled to the title of 'coach.' At the end of the day you're responsible and I think you forgot about that by always putting Mack Brown first and not the players, team and school.
Carol wrote "Thank you for 16 awesome years! Whomever they get to replace you will have some big shoes to fill! Thanks for the memories Mack! Wish you only the best."

Will rent from a different company next time. I was made to wait over 20 mintues as the only person who could rent me out a van was eating in a garage and told me that he was on break and needed to wait for him to take his sweet time as he talked to everyone in the garage jokingly as if my time and business were not valuable. I returned and he was not very personable and then he said the van wasn't full with gas when it was and he said he needed $15 more. Bad location awful service waste of money. Never again.
The day we ordered a van for moving our experience went from bad to worse, however, the folks at S&S Cars were very accommodating and the nicest people to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends.
I was a bit skeptical in the beginning due to the poor previous reviews. However, check in was quick and there was no wait. I did the express check in prior to going. Overall very courteous service and will definitely use again.
Reprimand the employees for shoddy work and trying to cheat customers. Wrong calculations of fuel, milage and days of rental. This was not a mistake. Now my debit card is tied up due to uncommon activity and i'm still waiting for a refund. I found other customers from the neighborhood has had similar experiences.

Home birth vs. hospital. It's a heated debate among moms.
Many can't imagine delivering a baby anywhere other than a delivery room with an army of doctors and nurses at the ready, while the other side wouldn't even consider that sterile, cold environment.
Well, the death of an Australian newborn during a water delivery should have home advocates questioning how safe that choice really is. After an investigation, a coroner concluded that the lack of professional medical care contributed to the baby's death.
The mother, Janet Fraser, a very vocal home birth activist, had called her previous hospital cesarean "birth rape" and her second child was born safely at home, though Frasier had to be rushed to the hospital with a uterine hemorrhage. Her third, however, had tragic complications. Minutes after birth, the baby girl died when the cord became tangled around her neck and no one had the medical expertise to deal with it.
Even after this heartbreak, Fraser stood by her decision. "There are no risk-free options and I choose the option with which I was comfortable," she said.
She's right. Things can go wrong no matter where you deliver. Though, the risks of a home birth seem so much greater to me. Now, I am not dismissing the choice, which has become hugely popular in the US (1 in 90 babies are born that way). There are even stats showing the percentage of home births that were preterm was 6 percent, compared with 12 percent for hospital births. They had lower percentages for low birth weight babies as well. But experts say the reason for the difference is because women who chose this option typically have low-risk pregnancies in the first place.
And though Fraser did not have a midwife, most women opt for one, which certainly makes things safer. But that still does not compare to the medical expertise or life-saving equipment a delivery ward has, does it?
Anyone who has had a baby knows it is not always a smooth, simple process. I've listened to the arguments that hospitals are only interested in profits and do all they can to add up charges. But honestly, isn't that cost worth having a healthy newborn in your arms?
Do you think a home birth is just as safe as delivering in a hospital?
Image via Seattleye/Flickr
i think if your to have a home birth their should be someone there like a midwife to deal with an emergency situation like that. that said i prefer hospital care, the nurses and doctor were very nice and professional and it made me more comfortable knowing that if there was a situation they would promptly deal with it. and for me there was i had mec staining and my daughters lungs had to be suction as soon as she was out to prevent an infection. if i had chosen a home birth i wouldnt have known and there could have been consequences.
This IS NOT about home birth, this is about not having the care of a professional!!! How dare you lable homebirth as unsafe!!! A planned home birth wth a PROFESSIONAL midiwfe is just as safe as a hospital birth. Period.
Wait. The woman had a c-section (usually done for complications, unless it's previously schedled), AND a second pregnancy with a complication (uterine hemhorrage), and she STILL opts to have a homebirth with nobody capable of dealing with a medical emergency?
This is not a story about homebirth - this is a story about an idiot activist woman who put her own ideologies above the safety of her child. Un-freakin'-believable.
And I'm a woman who would NEVER have a home birth.
She had previous risks (c-section, and history of hemhorrage) plus no midwife,....... I wouldn't even compair that to the majority of home births which happen with low risk moms and a midwife.

Please read the article and catch the screen cast at the end of the article.

Earlier in the week, I spoke about construction flaws and how builders have a tendency to build energy waste right into the structure of a home. The contractors really don't mean too, we all understand that, but , never-the-less, poor construction design, short cut methods, and lack of worker diligence can provide ready made, built-in energy flaws. You have a nice house that you are proud of, but it could have energy-loss disease and the only place the disease shows itself is on your monthly power bill.

Before I get into sharing Today's Power Trip, I want to mention a few headlines that caught my eye.

How about the headline that read something like, "Matt Damon put's his money where clean water is needed." Of course, Damon is the actor that is concerned about the billion people without enough clean water. Here in the rain forest of America, it is hard to imagine spending 80% of your day looking for and collecting water. I just hope all those people in those other places solve their water problem before the situation spreads to my backyard. Is this an energy conservation problem? Is this something we really need to be concerned with when we live so far away?

Another story that grabbed my attention has to do with changing the oil in your car. I guess some organization in California is suggesting that cars do not need to have the oil changed every three thousand miles. The owners manual in my car recommends an oil change frequency of 3,000 miles. I guess new ( or real ) evidence suggests cars can go 5,000 to 15,000 miles safely between oil changes. Considering all the cars in California, changing the oil replacement frequency from 3,000 miles to 6,000 miles would save a boat load of oil. I know this about energy conservation, but I wonder how concerned people are and whether or not they will make changes for the good of energy efficiency.

I know two things for sure, I have been changing the oil in my little Ford every 6,000 miles for years and it's humming along like it was new. I also know, when I was driving 18 wheelers, I changed the oil in the Cummins every other week or every 10,000 miles, which ever came first.

Lacking Support

Heating Duct Insulation and Raccoon Paradise

Yesterday, I had the good fortune to go into the underfloor space on a double wide manufactured home. The homeowner contacted me and indicated the home was not heating well on one side. I asked him if the side of the home that was not heating well was the side of the home that did not have the furnace room. He confirmed that was the case.

A double wide manufactured home has the furnace installed on one side and a cross over duct that carries the air over to the other side. When one side of a double wide is heating well and the other side is not, it is almost always a problem with the cross over duct.

With the help of a pair of coveralls, a paper mask, flashlight, and a camera, I head under the home. I spot the crossover duct and head in the general direction, altering my course to wiggle under a 3 inch drain pipe. I don't go very far before my nose brings the answer to the heating problem. The smell of Raccoon is noticeable and identifiable. I suspect when I reach the cross over duct, I am going to find the large flex duct with a large hole in it from the teeth and claws of a homemaking Raccoon.

I spot an area off in the corner of the crawl space that sports a number of little land mines. I have been on the look out and I am relieved to see the feces confined to an area not in my crawl path.

Reaching the cross over duct, I find it is in one piece, but the supports have come loose and the duct is laying on the ground. The duct has been crushed in two different locations. I guess a Raccoon is heavier than I thought. It is apparent that the vermin have been making a bed of the heating duct and the duct is collapsed in two areas.

While I am looking at the damage, the furnace comes on and starts trying to blow air through the duct. It is interesting to watch, because the outer plastic layer billows up with air pressure, but the inner insulation layer remains collapsed and air is restricted from passing through.

Damaged by Raccoons

In order to get heat back to the far side of the home, two things need to happen:

1. The cross over duct needs to be replaced.

2. The perimeter of the foundation needs to be secured so the Raccoon can no longer use this underfloor area as a bedroom.

Which is better, flex duct or solid metal duct.

Usually, a solid metal duct is the better performer. In the case of vermin, the solid duct will be able to withstand the attach better than a flex duct. The solid metal duct that is wrapped with insulation, in the face of a family of Raccoon's, will have the insulation torn off, but a better chance of maintaining the passage of air.

In this case, a Heating Contractor has provided a proposal to replace the crossover duct with a 12 inch solid metal duct. The bid price was $738 dollars. Seems a little high to me.

I believe the homeowner, who is on a fixed income, will choose to have his nephew replace the duct with another flex duct. The cost of the duct and a couple zip ties should be about $80 dollars.

Three things that are really hard on Heating Duct Efficiency:

1. Moisture.

Moisture is hard on both metal ducts and flex ducts. I have seen metal ducts that are rusted through and I have seen flex ducts with the interior insulation soaked and collapsed.

The moisture can get into the ducts from the toilet that overflowed, the kid scooping water out of the tub, a leak in the roof, a plumbing leak in a wall, or from a leaking water heater in the bedroom closet.

Insulation Damaged by Coons

2. Vermin.

Heating ducts are warm and there are few places your outdoor cat, or the neighborhood raccoon, would rather sleep than on a nice warm duct. They like warm ducts so much, that they are not bashful about rearranging the duct insulation to their liking.

3. Lack of proper support.

A heating duct is at it's best when it is tight and straight. Improper support can leave a duct pinched off, bent, sagging, or disconnected.

4. The Ground.

Heating ducts that touch the ground are apt to be compromised by the three items above. Ducts that touch the ground, whether they are metal or flex, will draw moisture, vermin, and invite deterioration.

The Security of Energy Conservation.

Whether you have a family of domesticated Raccoon in your crawl space, or you have to walk 2 miles to get a cup of dirty water, the world is getting smaller and the need for energy conservation is getting greater. When one person in urban New York decides to make a change and increase mileage between engine oil changes, it has a small effect on the future of a teenage girl that lives in a grass hut on the side of the Kalahari. Energy conservation is about heating ducts, oil changes, clean water and security.

 The Ductopus or the Centipede - Which HVAC Duct System Is Better? tag:homeenergypros.lbl.gov,2011-06-06:6069565:BlogPost:42508 2011-06-06T17:39:00.000Z Allison A. Bailes III http://homeenergypros.lbl.gov/profile/AllisonABailesIII  I've been thinking lately that I might be in danger of losing all my friends in the HVAC business because I've been a bit heavy on showing examples of what they get wrong but not so good at showing what they do well. If you read my article… I've been thinking lately that I might be in danger of losing all my friends in the HVAC business because I've been a bit heavy on showing examples of what they get wrong but not so good at showing what they do well. If you read my article Why Won't the HVAC Industry Do Things Right?, you may recall that in answering the question I didn't place all the blame on HVAC contractors. There's plenty to go around.

Anyway, in this post, I'm going to show you an example of something that I liked when I saw it in a home being built. The photo above shows part of a trunk-and-branch duct system. What you see is the end of a trunk line, which carries the conditioned air from the air handler out to the branches, which distribute it to the rooms in the house. Here's why I like this:

The trunk line is made of rigid sheet metal, not flex duct.

They've kept all the branches a good 6" from the end of the trunk, which helps get better air flow into the branches.

The branches aren't jammed up against each other where they come off the trunk.

The house that I saw this in had some problems (HVAC, insulation, drainage plane...), but I'd much rather see a trunk-and-branch system like this than a radial system the way it's usually installed. Last week I wrote an article asking if flex duct should be banned from green building programs and concluded that I think it's OK when used as shown here - for relatively short branches in a trunk-and-branch system.

Ideally, I'd like to see whatever system gets installed go through a full HVAC design and commissioning process. Every house should have it. ENERGY STAR Version 3 requires it. Building codes require it, too, even if it doesn't get enforced in most places.

But if we go by the 12-step program mantra of progress, not perfection, every time we see a system like the one in the photo above, we should remember that this is progress...because if it looks like that, it doesn't look the what you see below, which we affectionately term the ductopus. And I'm sorry, that system wasn't designed, and it's not going to perform well either.

Patented Filter Technology
To address the need for extra protection from dust and dirt with washable/reusable oil-impregnated cotton gauze filters, aFe developed a new filtration technology so revolutionary that we applied for and received a patent. This new filtration technology is aptly called Pro-GUARD 7. 5 layers of progressively finer mesh medical grade cotton gauze with micro fibers that attract smaller and smaller particles as air passes through is combined with 2 layers of random-porosity non-woven synthetic polyester fabric. These 7 layer combination of cotton gauze and non-woven polyester is sandwiched between 2 layers of epoxy coated aluminum wire mesh.
Because of compression ignition of diesel engines, tolerance are much tighter than in a gasoline spark ignition engine. These tight tolerances require clean air and lots of it. Diesel engine require 7 times more air than a gasoline engine of equivalent size. The patented Pro-GUARD 7 filter media delivers more cool clean air needed for extended engine life, better fuel economy and additional power
Maximum Protection
When you use your vehicle in a severe duty or work application, it is important to give the engine a high level of protection from dirt and dust. With 7 layers of media, Pro-GUARD 7 is able to offer the level of protection to the engine that is unsurpassed of any washable/reusable filters. Even fine dust is effectively filtered out and kept from entering the engine intake. When the vehicle needs to make it through the long haul, Pro-GUARD 7 will offer the protection you need. Take a simple "white glove or towel" test. Wipe the inside of your intake tract with white cloth and see if there is any dust.
High Efficiency
Efficiency refers to a filters ability to efficiently filter out the dust and dirt particles from entering the air intake of the vehicle over time. Pro-GUARD 7 was developed with the need for high efficiency in mind. Generally accepted SAE standard for filtration efficiency is 99.5% fine dust. There is course dust efficiency and fine dust efficiency. 99.50% course dust efficiency is not difficult to achieve. Typical performance/cotton gauze filters will five you the airflow you need, but they sacrifice filtration efficiency to do so. They achieve the 99.5% course dust efficiency. The 99.5% fine dust efficiency is a different matter. Fine dust is what you want to keep out in the tighter tolerance turbo diesel engine. Pro-GUARD 7 has been tested to surpass 99.5% fine dust filtration efficiency while delivering high airflow.
Greater Dust Holding Capacity & Longer Service Intervals
Holding more dust simply means that you will end up with a longer interval before needing to service your filter. The progressive nature of the cotton gauze and the deep pleats enable Pro-GUARD 7 to hold over 11 times the dust of a paper filter before needing to be cleaned or serviced. The layers of cotton and synthetic media are able to hold the dirt while still allowing air to pass through. The paper and foam filter elements become clogged quickly as dirt particles deposit onto the face of the filter media...that mean less air getting to your engine and more frequent and shorter service cycles.
The less often a filter requires cleaning or service, the better. The more dust a filter holds, less often the filter has to be serviced. With Pro-GUARD 7 filter media's great dust holding capacity, typical service interval is 50,000 miles in normal driving conditions and 25,000 miles in severe dust environments. Longer service intervals from greater dust holding capacity also reduces the chances that the filter will be sucked into the intake system. As a filter gets clogged with dirt, it passes less and less air. As the turbo continues to draw air into the engine, vacuum can become so great that a clogged filter with all the accumulated dirt can get sucked into the intake system. Considering the maintenance costs involved with work and fleet vehicles, minimizing the frequency of maintenance translates to a better bottom line.
Better Air Flow & More Power
Allowing more cool, clean, unrestricted airflow is a key element in increasing engine performance. Pro-GUARD 7 filtration technology allows airflow that matches the performance of cotton-gauze filters. Increasing the amount of air the engine breathes and doing it with less effort increases horsepower and torque. As an engine performance more efficiently, it improves fuel mileage as long as driving patterns remain the same. Better airflow through the engine also translates to lower exhaust temperatures which is critical to prolonging the life of the turbo. Pro-GUARD 7 offers this level of performance without sacrificing filtration efficiency.
Giving your engine more air and letting it breathe easier translates simply into more power. Because the engine gets the air it needs without impediment, it gets it faster and with greater velocity. Plenty of quick, fast air translates to faster turbo spool up, better acceleration and more torque which is the sensation you really feel as you give the vehicle gas. You will especially feel the power when you are towing and climbing a hill.
Better Value
Extended service interval, higher airflow, high filtration efficiency, better fuel economy and better protection help with the total cost of vehicle ownership and operation. Value is more than what you pay for a part. It is the combined impact of the part on the total cost of owning the vehicle. This involves not only the financial impact but also the enjoyment you receive from the part. The Pro-GUARD 7 filter media off tremendous value by increasing power, lowering maintenance cost, and providing years of great "seat of the pants" enjoyment.

Chipotle Tortilla-Crusted Tilapia with Avocado Cream and Black Bean & Corn Salad
So, it was a great day when, as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, I received two bags of Tostito's Artisan Recipes tortilla chips--Black Bean-Garlic and Fire-Roasted Chipotle. Greg and I tucked into the bags right away. I loved the simple flavor combinations that turned tortilla chips into a less scary, whole-grain (they have millet in them!) version of Doritos.
I once made a fabulous recipe for oven-baked chicken which utilized plain yogurt as a base and had a spiced bread crumb coating. The Fire-Roasted Chipotle chips made me remember that recipe and inspired me to try it anew with fish. I made the avocado cream as a dipping sauce, which also ended up working well as an accompaniment to the black bean-corn salad.
Chipotle Tortilla-Crusted Tilapia with Avocado Cream (by me)
For the Fish:
-4 tilapia fillets, approximately 1 pound
-Approximately 1/2 bag of Fire-Roasted Chipotle Tostito's tortilla chips
-1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cup plain yogurt
-1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
-1/8 teaspoon cumin
-1/8 teaspoon cayenne
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a cooking sheet with spray oil.
2. Put tortilla chips in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin. Pour out onto a plate. On a separate plate, combine the yogurt and spices, spreading out a bit.
3. Dredge both sides of each fillet in the yogurt, then the chips. Place finished fillets on the baking sheet. The chips may not stick to the fillet entirely, so don't be afraid to finish one side, put it on the baking sheet, and press extra chips on the top.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Serve with the avocado cream for dipping.
For the Avocado Cream:
-1/3 cup plain yogurt
-2 tablespoons sour cream
-1 ripe avocado
-1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1. In a small bowl, mash up the avocado as finely as possible. Mix in the yogurt, sour cream, salt and pepper. Combine well and serve immediately.
Black Bean & Corn Salad (from Rachel Ray)
-1 can, 14 ounces, black beans, rinsed and drained
-2 cups frozen corn kernels
-1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-1/2 red onion, chopped
-1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
-2 teaspoons Tabasco
-1 lime, juiced
-1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-Salt and pepper
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand at least 15 minutes for corn to fully defrost and flavors to combine, then toss and serve. The corn will also place a quick-chill on this easy side-salad as it defrosts -- no need to refrigerate!
-Serves 4-6
Verdict: This was a pretty delicious meal. The fish baked up wonderfully--silky soft inside with a tasty, crunchy crust. The avocado cream, though simple sounding, was both me and Greg's favorite part of the entire shebang. It really tied the meal together. The salad was spicy and cold, crisp and fresh. I loved it.

Tilapia is such a plain fish by it's self. Great idea to spice it up with the chipotle and add some texture and crunch with the tortillas... the Avocado cream sounds perfect with it :)

That's why I love popcorn so much. I get a little carried away with the sodium for sure. But it's so darn good. All this talk about salt and now I'm thirsty. The fish looks amazing. We are actually headed over to the beach tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to fresh fish. Can't wait!

NILES, IL (June 30, 2013) – Mrs. Prindable's Handmade Confections will introduce eight new soft, natural
caramels at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York. These new, natural confections combine the creamy caramel
Mrs. Prindable's is famous for with unique flavor combinations to deliver a delicious bite-size indulgence.
Mrs. Prindable's chocolatiers, who trained at the prestigious French Pastry School, spent months perfecting
four Classic Caramel flavors and four Chocolate-Enrobed Caramel flavors. Both are presented in elegant and
innovative packaging, making them perfect for gift giving and entertaining. The Chocolate-Enrobed Caramels are
bite-sized works of art that, inspired by their natural ingredients, offer a sophisticated visual experience
for the eyes in addition to satisfying caramel and chocolate cravings.
"We've been handcrafting gourmet caramel apples for over 25 years," says Stuart Sorkin, president of Mrs. Prindable's.

experience our customers expect."
Just like their classic gourmet jumbo apples, these new caramels are handmade in small batches. In this way,
Mrs. Prindable's chocolatiers can closely monitor the quality and consistency. The result is a buttery caramel that
is so soft, it melts in your mouth.
• Coffeehouse Mocha enrobed in White Chocolate: Pure Arabica and Robusta beans blended with caramel are enrobed
in white chocolate and finished with a dark chocolate swirl, elegantly invoking coffeehouse barista art.
• Fresh Banana Walnut enrobed in Milk Chocolate: A fusion of bananas, walnuts and caramel blanketed in milk chocolate
and topped with a dash of walnuts, results in a bite-size morsel that's a winking play on traditional banana bread.
• Pomegranate Cherry enrobed in Dark Chocolate: Dried tart cherry pieces and pomegranate create this unique caramel
which is then coated in rich dark chocolate and topped with a single, vibrantly red pomegranate seed.
• Hawaiian Red Sea Salt enrobed in Dark Chocolate: Sweet caramel and rich dark chocolate meld with exotic Alaea
sea salt harvested off the isolated island of Molokai.

What Happened When The Doctors Did Lunch…
So what happens when two versions of the same man are in the same time and place?
It's a pair-o-Docs!
Ok, sorry for the bad pun but recently, current Doctor Matt Smith and future Doctor Peter Capaldi were spotted having lunch together at Wolseley in London. When asked about the lunch meeting, Smith told the Daily Mirror that the two had gotten together to discuss the role of the Doctor. But he says that the actor, set to take over the role, doesn't need any pointers.
I really rate Peter – he's such an amazing actor and completely right for the part.
We went out for lunch to talk Doctor tactics. I'm not sure if I gave him any real ideas because it's not like he needs much help. He'll play the Doctor in his own way – and do it brilliantly. I can't wait to see what he does with the part.
I, for one, am glad to hear that Matt thinks Peter more than capable of handling the part of the Doctor. It takes someone who has lived in the role to really know what it entails and if someone else could handle it all. But I am still among the few that aren't completely sure of our new Doctor. I know he's a good actor, but he hasn't wowed me just yet. I think it will take fully seeing him in the role and how he plays it to know if I will like him as our beloved Doctor.
What are your thoughts? Anyone else still a bit hesitant in declaring that Capaldi is "perfect" for the role?
(Via The Congleton Guardian.)
14 Responses to What Happened When The Doctors Did Lunch…
I guess we will have to see if he will be right for the part or not, but I think he will be awesome
No production team has ever cast a bad actor for the role. They know what they're doing and I trust they have the right man for the job. I said the same during the initial backlash after Matt was announced, and my faith was vindicated then, as I'm sure it will be now.
As a fan of Who for 30+ years and a fan of Mr. Capaldi for 20+ years, I am VERY excited! He's incredibly talented, not just as an actor, but as a director and an artist (and he sings, as well) :). Go on YouTube & check out his work in "The Thick of It," then in "The Hour" (especially the scenes after his character's daughter dies). 2 very different characters, both brilliantly done. And he has a whole bunch of other terrific work out there, as well. He will make The Doctor his own.
Absolutely no reservations here. There are plenty of examples of his work on Youtube – not just "The Thick Of It" but "The Hour" "Fields of Blood" "Torchwood" and more – to put anyone's mind at rest about the man's abilities. I'm far more concerned about Moffat and Co providing him with good material than I am about Mr Capaldi's ability to get the best out of it.
And Timechaser, you're spot on about that little bit of mischief in that introduction!
I think every actor who has played The Doctor has tapped into the essence of what he's about, some like the most recent three have had the benefit of more emotional range in the writing as well which has added another dimension. I've seen a lot of new Doctors come and go and i think what you call reservations I would call an unease because you can't see what they are going to do with the part. I get that every time but I don't worry because they've all nailed it. If a poor or just inappropriate actor was cast (Jesse Birdsall or someone) then I'd properly worry but I reckon we'll be ok this time.
BTW I'm not saying Jesse Birdsall is crap, he was very good fun to watch in Eldorado ( and that must have been a test of his talents!) but he is not and never shoukd be The Doctor!
Also I can't imagine much food was eaten, both Matt and Peter are very slim. Hardly like Colin and Terrance Dicks going out for lunch is it!:)
Rebecca, have you actually seen Peter Capaldi as an actor? He is absolutely brilliant as Malcolm Tucker. I think he is going to be somewhat like Tom Baker. I also think that those of us who are older and have lived The Doctor since the 70s can picture this much better than those of you who are younger. He will be fantastic.

Buy here or buy there?
I am planning on leaving for the US and heading south by bike toward the end of this summer.
Has anybody got any advice on travelling on a US registered bike south or a European (UK or Ireland) registered bike as I may transport one from here by air...
I am unsure of costs etc heading through Central and into South America with temporary import/passing through charges and insurance and whether or not I would be able to register a US bike in my name as I do not live there...
I have access to an address in Florida but may be better to ship my bike from here and hit the road.
Any definitive advice appreciated!
There are many post about this every year. So you can look them up in the HUBB to get more info and look at the travel stories Ride Tales - The HUBB and http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/get-inspired/travel-stories-blogs. Then you can hit up a meeting.
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings/Ireland2012.php or go big
Go to one it will save you money and may save your life, but do get to one there going soon may want to sign up.
This post will help to start you off http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...sier-usa-59241
You can buy a bike in the USA and use the address in Florida. You go in to shop and buy the bike and use the address when they ask. Ride around put the plate and grab the title when they send it. Then off you go. But laws do change and there 50 states and there all diffrent this was the way it was and may still be.
Or you can fly your bike over the come over uncrate the bike and ride off from there. you will need USA insurance but you need that on any bike. There are othere bits of paper you may need to go on with that
The costs will depend more on you than any thing else. Say $30 to $50 a day is more than safe for me but I know people that will use $100. As far as the price thay hit you with at the borders? who knows, every one seems to take a little off the top for them self at times other times they do not. But it can run a few $100 may want to look at this http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/get-ready/budgeting.
There is getting over the gap, a new boat that may be running $200 or a plane ride at $1000 last I looked.
Then at the end of the world there are boat rides to the ice starting at $3000 to $4000.
Just remember that if you buy a USA bike when you bring it abck to the UK you will have to pay VAT. But apart from that there's no problem. I did this last eyar. Bought a bike in Alaska and rode down to Panama. No issues at borders or anything like that. It costs less as you don't have to fly a bike to America, but costs more if you bring it back to the UK (VAT) so evens out. Bikes are probably cheaper to get in the US but you are either buying before you see it or spending a few days getting a bike when you get there.
Neither option is better. I'd say if you can find a bike in the US that you like, and is a good price, go for that.

The smallest lake in Indiana with a boat ramp now has a wooden dock by that ramp.
The dock, 19 feet long and 4 feet wide, is courtesy of Greg Larrabee of Decatur, a Bellmont High School senior who built the structure as an Eagle Scout project on Kekionga Lake, by Evergreen Court, off Mercer Ave.
Larrabee, 18, is a longtime member of Boy Scout Troop 70 and thanks his last two scoutmasters, Charlie Brune and Don Hess, for their support.
The Berne Community Development Corporation (CDC) will dedicate the Settlers Monument in the Muensterberg Plaza at the corner of US 27 and SR218 in Berne on Sunday, Oct. 17, beginning at 2 p.m.
Jerome and Barbara Lehman of Terre Haute donated the funds for the monument, officials said in a news release. They and their family members will attend the celebration and will unveil the six foot statue of early settlers wearing 1850s attire, including a man standing with his arms outstretched and a woman holding a baby.
