The 'Dog Whisperer' and Ilusion Millan Commit to Offer Both Financial Aid and Expertise to Nation's Rescue Shelters for the Care of Abused and Displaced Dogs
LOS ANGELES, CA (FEBRUARY 14, 2007) -- Cesar Millan-whose hit series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan has become a national phenomenon— and Ilusion Millan have founded THE MILLAN FOUNDATION, a national, non-profit foundation designed to aid and support the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of abused and abandoned dogs.
The Foundation's primary goal is to provide financial support and rehabilitation expertise to shelters throughout the United States, better enabling them to maintain the highest standards of care and assistance to animals under their protection.
The Millans are simultaneously planning to establish a new headquarters for their successful Dog Psychology Center, where they maintain round-the-clock care and rehabilitation of up to fifty or more animals at a time. The Center is moving from its present inner city Los Angeles location to
a ranch near Santa Clarita, California. The property, which will include dog trails, exercise runs, an obstacle course, a small lake large enough for swimming and recreation, and a host of kennels. The goal is to create a "retreat center" that assists in creating a balanced connection between humans and dogs.
Initial funding for The Millan Foundation will be provided by the Millans themselves.
Specifically, the Millan Foundation will offer financial support and expertise to:
- Assist select non-profit dog rescue shelters and organizations engaged in the rescuing, rehabilitation, and placement of abused and abandoned dogs with funding and expertise.
- Support no-kill shelters and other organizations committed to saving dogs from euthanasia, as well as relocating misplaced and/or misunderstood animals.
- Provide Cesar Millan books, DVDs and other aids at no charge to shelters and rescue groups for both fundraising and educational purposes.
- Create and support regional and national projects targeting education and awareness of proper dog behavior and care; separate outreach will be conducted to both adults and children.
- Produce and create national public service announcements to create and foster awareness of important animal-related issues including spay and neuter programs.
The Millans stated: "Through the strong support of our fans, we are able to fulfill our dreams. The national platform of Dog Whisperer makes the timing perfect to reach out and help others in the field. The Foundation is intended to benefit needy dog shelters and rescue centers throughout the United States. Our many years of experience in the rehabilitation of dogs of every breed and background has taught us that most animals can make excellent companions, and that all many of them need is the proper care and a second chance. Too often it is the owner who has given up on a pet, or mistreated it in some way that has made it inhospitable. These centers work diligently to rehabilitate dogs and find them good homes rather than exterminate them, a resort we think is never acceptable. Some of these shelters are woefully under funded, though their hearts are in the right place. We hope to provide assistance to the best of them whenever and wherever we can so that these great animals will continue to make great companions."
Millan, born in rural Mexico, first came to the United States intent on becoming the world's best dog trainer. Soon, however, he realized his life's mission would be a much more important one. America's dogs, he learned, were the most loved, best cared-for dogs in the world, but he soon realized that many of them were dangerously out of control. Millan subsequently altered his goal, and set his sights on becoming a "rehabilitator" of dogs—working to help problem dogs overcome lifelong issues, but, more importantly, to help train dog owners how to be the solution, not the problem. Since then, Millan has successfully spread his message of "it's the owner, not the dog" by way of his hit television series, # 1 New York Times best-selling book Cesar's Way, and instructional DVDs.

What do you need more of to feel happy, secure and at peace?
What will it take for you to feel personally happy, to be secured in peace, to be your best??

Liam WingertJan 18 2012: I think I could use more self-confidence and courage. I tend to underestimate my abilities and if I do make mistakes, I tend to blame myself too much and not move forward. I know my lack in self-confidence has held me back from being my best, and has interfered with my personal happiness, so to fix this I have taken more risks and tried new stuff for fun. For example I recently started doing tae-kwon-do and after 4 months, I have already acquired a yellow belt and a broken wrist and am happy to have both.
Jan 19 2012: Liam and Beste,
Rather than thinking about this as a problem, try thinking about it, and feeling it as an opportunity?
Liam, you say you tend to blame yourself too much.
Every single time you catch yourself "blaming", change the thought/feeling/words to something different...more positive. Give YOURSELF the confidence and courage you desire.Taking more risks and trying new stuff is a great start. I LOVE your last sentance..."I have already acquired a yellow belt and a broken wrist and am happy to have both". You didn't blame yourself for the broken wrist, you accepted it as part of the process! You are on your way to change!!! LOVE IT:>)
Liam Wingert
Jan 24 2012: Hi Liam,
Thanks for your reply. I was simply reminding you of what you already know in your heart:>) You're right..."no need to blame"...good perception:>) I believe life is an exploration, and blaming simply uses energy we can use in another way:>) Percieving life as an exploration in every moment, gives me the energy to feel personally happy, peaceful and secure:>)
Jan 23 2012: Hi Colleen,
Thank you for your kind words,I really appreciate them :).Im just trying to get to know myself, for I learned that this is how I will be able to understand myself instead of hating myself all the time,which will eventually give me a better understandment of the others around me too.
Jan 23 2012: Hi Beste,
Great perception Beste...in knowing our "self", we get to understand others a little more too.
Did you see this TED talk by Thandie Newton? It's a good one, in my perception, about discovering our "self" and "otherness.
Jan 23 2012: Hi Gregory,
Looks like you've been listening to Dan Gilbert's good talk about "synthetic happiness" and "natural happiness":>) Hopefully, Liam will pop in here and tell us exactly what level of happiness he is experiencing...there ARE many levels:>)
Difficult to believe that one may be happy because of the fact that he has a broken wrist! Could it be that he is experiencing the bigger picture? Can our awareness or acceptance of the bigger picture be the underlying "happiness"?
I think of my near fatal head/brain injury for example. I was not "happy" or "content" with my head cracked open because of a horseback riding accident. There was fear, pain, frustration, etc. Underlying all the emotions that I experienced however, there was a sense of contentment...most of the time:>) I was doing something that I loved doing, and was good at. Accidents happen, and with sport activities we are often taking risks. I was/am content that I was willing and able to enjoy the sport and happy that I was willing and able to take the risks needed to enjoy something I love. I also learned a LOT from the injury and challenges. The bigger picture, is that the experience offered an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve in myself.
You see how there may be many underlying factors, which contribute to a feeling of happiness/contentment? It is way too simple to say he was happy because he broke his wrist, or I was happy because I bashed my head in? When we consider the big picture, sometimes, we can find happiness in places we may not expect happiness/contentment to be found:>)
Liam WingertJan 24 2012: Actually, the breaking of the wrist part was not really synthetic happiness, I think I would be just as happy with a normal wrist than with a broken one. I am simply enoying tae kwon do like how Colleen enjoys horseback riding and the broken wrist is really just another experience I have to look back on. Also sorry, it took some time to reply collen, I was starting my spring term of college and was very busy.
Jan 24 2012: Hi Liam,
I've done Tai Chi at times, and I experience Martial Arts as a great opportunity to learn so much about ourselves and life...balance, concentration, focus, strength, control, and the best thing of all, for me, was to learn to yield, and come from the core with strength. That can be an important lesson in all aspects of our lives:>)
Good luck with the college experience, healing of the wrist, and everything else life has to offer. You sound like a very insightful person, and I appreciate your contributions, so I hope we'll continue to see you here on TED:>)

Paul Walker's publicist has said the actor was the passenger when Roger Rodas' Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a light pole and tree, then exploded.
LOS ANGELES — The movie studio that makes the "Fast & Furious" action franchise said Tuesday it was suspending production of the latest installment while authorities press ahead with their investigation into how Paul Walker died.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office said it has completed autopsies on the two bodies recovered from the fiery crash of a powerful Porsche that Walker, a star of the mega-hit movies, and his friend were last seen riding in.
Walker's publicist has said the actor was the passenger when Roger Rodas' 2005 Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a light pole and tree, then exploded in flames Saturday.
The muscular, limited-edition car is known to be not just fast — it can hit 100 mph in less than 7 seconds — but also difficult to handle. It is low to the ground, making it susceptible to bumps or debris in the road.
Related: Area of Walker car crash known for street racing
The families of both men have provided dental records, which will permit not only formal identification of the bodies, but also official word on whether Walker or Rodas was behind the wheel.
Results of the autopsies and identifications would not be released until Wednesday, the coroner's office said.
Walker starred in all but one of the six "Fast & Furious" blockbusters, films that glorified fast cars and dangerous driving. He had been on break from shooting the latest installment, and Universal Pictures said Tuesday that production of "Fast & Furious 7" is on hold.
Much of the film has been shot, and it is scheduled for release in July. Universal Pictures has not said how it will adjust the movie to account for Walker's death.
Meanwhile, accident investigators trying to piece together what happened were hindered by the crowds of fans that continued to flock to the crash site about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has said its investigators do not believe Rodas and Walker had been racing another car, though they were speeding on a street with a posted limit of 45 mph.
Related: Fatherhood inspired 1 of Paul Walker's final roles
On Saturday afternoon, Walker and Rodas took what they said would be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas' custom car shop.
While Rodas was Walker's financial adviser, the two had bonded over their shared love of fast cars. They co-owned an auto racing team named after Rodas' shop, Always Evolving, and Rodas drove professionally for the team on the Pirelli World Challenge circuit in 2013.

I've been in education for the past 23 years and taught grades K-8 as well as pre-service teachers. My role the past several years has centered around supporting teachers transition classrooms to leverage technology to transform and enhance learning. I love to share(ski). I've got a boatload of stuff online. My greatest asset is my network. I live in Moose Jaw, SK. Yes, that's a real place. I'm married with 4 children and seek any and every opportunity to play golf.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) are offering tips to football fans celebrating Super Bowl Sunday.
• In advance of the Super Bowl, MADD is urging football fans to have a plan for how they'll get home from Super Bowl parties with a non-drinking designated driver. It's the ultimate winning drive.
• In 2012, 43 percent of all traffic fatalities on Super Bowl Sunday and the morning after were caused by drunk driving, compared to an average of 31 percent for the year as a whole.
• On Super Bowl Sunday, and throughout the year, MADD encourages football fans 'to play the most important position in the NFL: the designated driver.'
Here are some tips for throwing a fun and safe Super Bowl party:
• Plan activities like party games or door prize drawings to engage people and reduce alcohol consumption.
• Offer non-alcoholic drink options for designated drivers and those who are under age 21.
• Provide plenty of food to avoid guests drinking on an empty stomach and getting intoxicated more quickly.
• Be ready to step in if a guest has had too much to drink — offer to drive them home, arrange for a ride with a non-drinking guest, call a taxi, or invite them to spend the night.
No D.U.I. El Paso is a non-profit organization that is not sponsored by MADD, but is available to the community of El Paso to provide safe transportation to El Pasoans.

By now, you've likely all seen the news. Metallica is going to be enshrined in the rock and roll hall of fame April 4th in Cleveland.
I'm acutely aware of the varying opinions of Metallica in the metal community, and I know that debate will rage on for months and year and decades more. Still, I stand that this is one of the biggest days in heavy metal history.
-So my friend and I got wrapped up the other day in a conversation about some of the "could have beens" in music. Almost like a Marvel comics "What If," but with even less bearing on actual events. For example, "what if Rage Against the Machine had listened to us and gotten Chuck D to be their new singer?"
Figured I should get this up before I see the band live in a few weeks.
Throwback. That's the only word that comes to mind when I'm listening to The Sword's album "Gods of the Earth." Close your eyes and it's easy to picture the music coming from a van circa 1977 with dragons and wizards and whatnot painted on the side in dramatic action. The album sways at points between the soundtrack to a Renaissance festival and some headbanging, adrenaline charged mosh pit fuel.
So I happened across this article the other day, which describes how headbanging might raise the risk of brain injury.
I'm forced to ask, wasn't that kind of the point?
Plus, the picture in the article singles out Iron Maiden fans, which to me is clear discrimination. Plus, it's a blatant false portrayal of character, as nearly the only actual band mentioned in the print of the article is Motley Crue. I don't know anyone who listens to both "Powerslave," and "Dr. Feelgood."
So, I spent the entire weekend without electricity, wandering around between friends and family seeking warm shelter like a wayward gypsy. Mental note: not a fan of ice storms anymore. The point is that while I really had nothing better to do, my ruminating turned toward the upcoming holiday. To that end, I have composed a wish list of things I'd like see to happen as a favor to me. Most, but not all, are music related. They appear in no order.
M. Drew's Holiday Wish List!
Pardon me if none of this goes anywhere.
I don't listen to the radio much these days. It doesn't offer me a lot. Most stations are playing today's streamlined and easily-digestable but ultimately flavorless pop/rock/alternative music that I find so mundane. Worse yet, some stations (mostly college, but some commercial,) have gone off the deep-end of indie culture and scraped the bottom of the nigh-unidentifiable-as-music bin just for the sake of sounding different. I'd almost rather listen to a lot of mainstream stuff.
Frustration. It's a word not commonly used when reviewing an album. To use it demonstrates a bias, gives the feeling that the reviewer was not objective when considering the merits of an album. Still, it's the word I'm using. It's all I can come up with for an album that sounds perfect one minute, and then sounds like amateur night at the Double Deuce the next.
Thomas Wolfe wrote a modernist novel called "You Can't Go Home Again." Normally, I wouldn't mention that here, but I think that's the best way I can sum up my reaction to Guns n' Roses' (read: Axl Rose's) much ballyhooed new opus, "Chinese Democracy."
So last weekend, my friend asked me if I would volunteer to help out his charity art auction. Being the decent guy that I am, I gladly told him I would. So there I was, helping set up, having a good time, marveling at the wonder that is a chocolate fountain, when a few pieces of art in my hand caught my eye.
(By the way, me at an art show is a huge mismatch. Still, it was great to be able to help out.)
Anyway, I got talking to Dan, the artist, and we discussed how he came up with his art, which he described roughly as follows:
Sometimes, you see a great one. Sometimes, if you're lucky enough, you see THE Great one. (Not Wayne Gretzky in this case.)
AC/DC at Madison Square Garden last night. I don't even have proper superlatives for this show. Amazing seems passé, awesome seems insufficient, phenomenal an understatement.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Market and business vision at Transducers 2013.
Yole Développement organized its MEMS Market Briefing at TRANSDUCERS 2013.
Yole Développement calculates the MEMS industry overall saw another ~10% growth in 2012 to become an ~$11 billion business-- in a year when the semiconductor industry saw a ~2% decline. The Top 30 companies account for nearly 75% of that total MEMS market…"
Transducers 2013 is winding down in Barcelona; a far cry climate-wise from Anchorage, the show's2015 destination. So, what is a transducer? It's a device that converts a signal from one energy form to another, and can act as both sensor and actuator.
Hundreds of PhD students and research companies attend this biennial event to make presentations and learn what's in store for MEMS technology's future. Fundamental papers are presented and discussed, and the show is critical for the future MEMS sensor and actuator market, since MEMS concepts are showcased in their early developmental stages before becoming an actual product.
This year's show welcomed 40+ exhibitors to present their latest innovative technologies.
Meanwhile, Yole Développement took an active role in highlighting the MEMS industry's industrial and market view. Yole Développement's team conducted two MEMS manufacturing market briefings, in conjunction with Coventor, and an Emerging MEMS Devices briefing in tandem with Freescale. "Transducers is the place to meet the top researchers and academics developing tomorrow's sensing technology," said Marc Osajda, Director, Pressure Sensor Business Unit & EMEA Sensor Marketing at Freescale. "Also, the iCan student competition is refreshing, and shows that sensor applications are limited only by our imagination."
100+ people attended Yole Développement's presentations and joined the networking event afterwards. Thanks to events like Transducers 2013, and humankind's eagerness to sense, analyze and impact its environment, MEMS has a bright future.

When I love
I feel that I am the king of time
I possess the earth and everything on it
and ride into the sun upon my horse.
When I love
I become liquid light
invisible to the eye
and the poems in my notebooks
become fields of mimosa and poppy.
When I love
the water gushes from my fingers
grass grows on my tongue
when I love
I become time outside all time.
When I love a woman
all the trees
run barefoot toward me…

A soul connection is a resonance between two people who respond to the essential beauty of each other's individual natures, behind their facades, and who connect on this deeper level. This kind of mutual recognition provides the catalyst for a potent alchemy. It is a sacred alliance whose purpose is to help both partners discover and realize their deepest potentials. While a heart connection lets us appreciate those we love just as they are, a soul connection opens up a further dimension — seeing and loving them for who they could be, and for who we could become under their influence. This means recognizing that we both have an important part to play in helping each other become more fully who we are….A soul connection not only inspires us to expand, but also forces us to confront whatever stands in the way of that expansion.

The whole culture is one unified field of bought-sold-market-researched everything. It used to be that people fermented their own culture. It took hundreds of years. It evolved over time. That's gone in America. People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money. Whatever's the biggest, latest, they're into it. I just get disgusted after a while with humanity for not having more intellectual curiosity about what's behind all of this jive bullshit.

chapter two0 Reviews
Stephanie fights with her inner beast.
Stephanie went to one of the freezers holding a corpse, and pulled it out. She quickly dug her hands in, tearing pieces of bloody flesh out and cramming them in her mouth.
As she ate she looked at herself in the reflection. A creature from her worst nightmares, stared back at her. But she didn't care, her hunger was being appeased.
She woke up with a start at the sound of a knock at the door. Officer Benson came in with a huge pile of books, he dumped them on the table and sat down. "I think I might know what attacked you," he said as he opened one of the books and showed her a picture.
Stephanie stared in horror at the thing that had attacked her, the thing she had become last night. "What is that?" She asked in a shaking voice, "it's a Wendigo," Officer Benson said, looking at her in concern. "Are you alright?" Stephanie shook her head no, "I became one last night," she said putting her hands to her face. "I ate human flesh, oh my God," she began to sob.
"There's proof, go to the morgue, they should be missing a body." Officer Benson stood up, "I'll be right back."
He came back looking grave, "their missing a body alright," he said as he sat beside her. "I've been reading these books," Stephanie began, "Their very hard to kill." She held up her hand as Officer Benson began to speak. "Their very hard to kill," she repeated " but it can be done, by using iron or silver, or by the most efficient method. Shattering their ice heart with a sliver stake. Than cutting them up with a silver axe." She set the book down and grasped his hands, "I want you to promise me that when I become a Wendigo that you will kill me. I can feel the creature trying to emerge already, it's only a matter of time." She looked frantically at Officer Benson, "promise me," she repeated. He shook his head unhappily, "I promise."

Designing Synths with Dasz Garncarz
"For LiFT Studios Broadcast 023 Haig Armen talks with Dasz Garncarz, a synth & interface designer about the challenges of interaction design and his work on the Nord Modular G2 synthesizer."
Dasz was the creator/owner/entrepreneur of Opcode's Revolve 100M sequencer (1999) as well as a crucial force behind the Infusion System's I-Cube (product and software development).1
There are 3 parts to the interview - PART 1 and PART 3. Might be a little dull but there is some interest for those who like designing their own interfaces in synthedit/max/usine etc.

Novation+Ableton Launchpad controller
Bit behind with this one but Novation have teamed with Ableton to release a 64 button grid style controller that can be used to control things such as clip launch, panning, volume, scenes etc. It can also work with other software using Novations' Automap software. I think this looks pretty tasty and at £150 quite a bargain! There's a competition to win one+Live8 over at Novations site, as well as tutorial videos.

Doepfer Sneak Peek
Doepfer Sneak Peek from niamhguckian on Vimeo.
An interview with the great man himself, taken from the documentary 'Totally Wired'. Dieter talks about the inspiration for the A100 series, his collaborations with Kraftwerk, and the future of modular. Unmissable!
'Totally Wired' is available on DVD from amazon.com
It's been floating around for a few days now. So Kraftwerk are to blame for the industrial grey. I wonder who is to blame for the horrible pots? At the end of the video he talks a little about his new digital modules and how there are going to be more coming out. I have the Bit Chruncher and very nice it is... would love to see more digital modules.

David Vorhaus Analogue Electronic Music 1979
"In this historical video excerpt, David Vorhaus talks about two of his analogue inventions - the MANIAC analogue sequencer, and the Kaleidophon from 1979.
The MANIAC (Multiphasic Analog Inter-Active Chromataphonic (sequencer)) was an analogue sequencer having variable step lengths, and the ability to split sequences into several smaller groupings giving considerable sonic potentiality. Addition and subtraction of events was possible, as well as the possibility to chromatically correct the output during performance. David could program his MANIAC sequencer to play a background rhythm or combination of musical events, to then improvise over the top with another instrument or synthesizer.
The Kaleidophon was a double-bass-like instrument using four velocity-sensitive ribbon controllers instead of strings. The instrument is played entirely using the left hand, leaving the right hand free to manipulate the sound via a number of controllers and a joystick.
David speaks about the processes of making electronic music, and the developments that such possibilities can provide for the imaginative electronic musician. This excerpt is taken from the BBC 1979 documentary entitled "The New Sound of Music" hosted by Michael Rodd." - thanks to JeffreyPlaide

HEB Fresh Bulk Salsas
- sqwertz Apr 18, 2012 11:37 AM
HEB is selling bulk fresh salsas in some of their stores. Manchaca and Slaughter store has them (in the deli) and I'm pretty sure I saw them at Rundberg, too (grilled chicken station).
I sampled the green and a rojas(?) last night and ended up buying a half print of each (about $1.20/ea). Pretty darn good stuff. I'll be trying the rest of them in the very near future - about 5 different kinds, IIRC. Of course I forgot that I didn't have anything to dip in them, so I ended up putting the verde in their Hill Country Fare "Homestyle" Potato Salad. Even more awesome.
Try 'em out if you have access to them. I don't know if they sell them prepackaged in any stores or not, but that would seem logical for those stores that don't have the bulk display cases.
I was blown away by these HEB salsas, better than any other fresh salsa on offer in town IMHO. I bought them at the E 7th St. HEB and assumed they had some special elves making them fresh in house. I make a special trip now every week for salsa and Cafe Bustelo. Dirt cheap and food stamp eligible.
re: dinaofdoom
I'm sure you could ask for the list of ingredients, but yes - these are on display in 3-4 gallon "compartments" and they package it up on demand. These were different than what they sell in the plastic bags. Hopefully there is enough demand for them that they aren't discontinued. Just don't buy so much that they raise the price!
Now if they could duplicate the green sauce found at El Pollo Regio/El Pollo Rico and sell that for $2.50 pint...
re: sqwertz
i've been avoiding the plastic bag stuff with the weird ingredients.
this sounds like a much better option!
they just re-did the parmer/mcneil store but the new space is disappointing:
new bulk area is all snack food instead of ingredient type stuff
salad bar is just the same cut up fruit you can buy in plastic cups
they got rid of the hot food case and put in pricey "my fit foods" (third party diet co.) kiosk
but a fresh salsa bar? that would be a way better idea than the sad looking cantaloupe chunks in the expanded produce department right now.
re: raisncains
Which store? I told you what I know so far. Maybe others can name some of the other stores which have this feature. Maybe we could go goecaching for salsa! ;-)
re: sqwertz
Ok goofy question. i see you did post the deli and chicken station. They must not have it in Round Rock!
re: GulaSocordia
I stopped by after work at the Parmer/McNeil HEB and sure enough they had some in tubs on the shelving next to the chopped fruit bar.
re: verily
oh, interesting. i did notice a bunch of guac near there last week, but that's all they had out.
perhaps the quac was a gateway condiment...
and i didn't know there were any other parmer/mcneil HEB hounds!
re: dinaofdoom
I went back to pick up a few things yesterday evening... It is with the guac, though they definitely had a lot more salsa on Monday than they did yesterday! Last night, it was mostly guac with only a couple of salsa tubs. :(
re: dinaofdoom
Gateway condiment... nice :-)
i think i saw these at the Brodie/Wm Cannon one as well, preportioned in those plastic bulk containers as Gula was saying. couple different green ones and three reds (chipotle, 'molcajete roja', and ' quemada fire roasted....or something). got the fire roasted, it is muy delicioso!
I was up early this morning while the roosters were still quacking and hoofed it the 4 miles to HEB early enough to see that the salsa comes in 1 liter bags from a company called "Jalaburning"....
Naah... wait... <rubbing eyes> ... they say.... "Haliburton".
Haliburton? http://www.haliburton.net/
Too spooky. Why would any company call themselves "Haliburton" if they were were not THE Haliburton? Are they the new generation of ADM? Federally subsidized salsa?
-sw (tongue in cheek)
Apparently their method is flash pasteurizing that gives it a longer shelf life while still maintaining the fresh aspect of the veggies (I can confirm the later). The company, Haliburton International Foods, boasts 40(?!) regular salsas and they'll also formulate and co-brand your restaurant with it's own "signature salsa".
Of the current two I have, the salsa molcajete verde is down to earth ingredients (all veggies, big chunks of green peppers and pureed tomatillos), the old "weird" ingredients being potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate.
The salsa quemeda is a roasted tomato and I'm guessing ancho pepper, but no ingredients are listed on this one. I'm not too wild about the later since I'm not fond of salsas made with dried chiles.
re: sqwertz
i saw some at the lake creek and 183 HEB (which i normally avoid because it's gross).
they had a few mislabled, as the same description was a green and red container.
The salsas to look for are the green and red "molcajetes" Both are on the spicy side and have great chunks of chiles, onions, and tomato. I'm soaking in the red right now.
The roasted tomato chipotle comes in second to those - a thinner concoction without the heavy tobacco of dried chiipotle. Makes a great wet chimichanga or taco sauce.
The milder tomatillo and the quemeda are my least favorite because they're not my style. I don't do tart or dried peppers.
re: sqwertz
Got the que mada on Sunday....blech!!! No heat whatsoever. Def sticking to the molcajete red....that's the roasted one, right?
re: NirvRush
Both the red and green molcajetes have some evidence of fire-roasted stuff in there. With big chunks of peppers, onions, and tomatoes without having that "raw" texture. Tthe chipotle is smoked, but no evidence of anything being fire roasted.
I don't like salsas made with dried peppers is why I didn't like quemeda, but I can see how some people might like it.

For her high school graduation lunch last week, my daughter asked for my fried chicken. Normally, I break down a chicken into 9 pieces and cook it and serve it. But we'd invited friends, bringing our total number to 20. Fried chicken for 20 is different from fried chicken for four. I had no intention of spending all that time frying while hosting the lunch. But it wasn't until we were seated and one of the guests, while biting into a juicy drumstick, asked, "You can do this ahead of time?" did I realize that I must, must post on this subject, to deepen our understanding and encourage more cooking of one of the greatest dishes in the American repertoire.

A lot of friends emailed me last month asking what I thought about the stink bomb Julia Moskin dropped on the cookbook world in her bitter account of chefs not writing their own books (or sometimes not even reading them).

Woman Returned To U.S. To Face 15-Year-Old Drunk-Driving Charges
July 22, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
PORTLAND, Ore., (UPI) — A woman who bragged in a Canadian bar that she killed someone in Oregon while driving drunk will face trial in the United States after 15 years, officials say.
Jean Terese Keating, now 54, was arrested earlier this year in Minnedosa, Manitoba, where she had lived for the past decade and a half, The Oregonian reported.
She had fled Oregon in 1998 while awaiting trial in a fatal crash that killed Jewel Oline Anderson the year before.
Keating and her 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son ended up in Minnedosa, a town of about 2,500, where she took the name Jean McPherson.
Oregon State Police said her true identity, and her secret, were uncovered after she mentioned in a Minnedosa bar that she had skipped out on her trial on the drunk-driving charges.
Early this year, someone tipped off a Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable in town about the woman's statement. He contacted law enforcement agencies in the United States, and investigators eventually matched McPherson's fingerprint with those of Keating in Oregon taken at the time of her 1997 arrest.
She was arrested April 4 at her home in Minnedosa and deported in June. Keating was returned to Oregon by U.S. marshals last week.
The suspect is being held at the Linn County Jail in lieu of $5 million bond.

Now I've hit level 80 and am looking at all the loot available to me as a feral druid, I've spotted a few of the PvP pieces that you can purchase with just honor. So my question is - where's the best place to grind honor nowadays? AV? Wintergrasp? Elsewhere?
Wintergrasp whenever its on but make sure you pick up the dailys and join the raid there to get plenty of hks.
Another great thing about wintergrasp is you don't need really good pvp gear to help - if your defending you can man a cannon, build tanks or just nuke attackers from the safety of a tower. On offensive build some siege vehicles and smash down walls.

A good definition of addiction -- this is paraphrased from an actual definition used by specialists in addiction therapy -- is progressive use of the addictive substance or activity in the face of adverse consequence, with negative effects on school or work, health, financial or legal obligations, and relationships.

The Hive Honey Set by Andie Olive
Design Showcase 2010
Design: The Hive Honey Set
Materials: Blow Molded Glass & Turned Maple
Designer: Andie Olive
"When I took up beekeeping this year I became captivated by the incredible complexities and ingenuity of the Honey Bee. As a tribute to my girls I wanted to design a honey-centric product that seemed a bit more considered than some bear or cartoon hive."
"The Hive Honey Set is informed by the natural geometry that makes up wax honey comb. Each individual cell is a rhombic decahedron which is formed by a combination of optimal heat and pressure. Interestingly, the bee's control this optimal temperature with beats of their wings!
Available in clear and frosted glass (**Sorry no pictures yet of the clear**)
Set includes:
- Hive Jar
- Capped Cell Lid
- Bee's Butt Dipper
The hive honey set is slated for an October Release in stores."

great simple design.
Love it!
It looks great, but it seems like it would be difficult to get the honey out once the level gets low.
I like -
- but what is pic #5???
That is the designer's cool apartment!
And why does he have a wheelchair serving as a living room chair? (not to mention I didn't understand the caption)
This is such a provocative design. Very biomimicry.
Fab design, especially love the applicator being called the "Bee's Butt Dipper"
really beautiful
Great design, and practical - easy to fully open and clean. Honey is sticky!

Pictures Of The Next Heavyweight Champion Of The World…And He's Only 30 Days Old
by SITN Staff | October 2, 2008 | In Lalia Ali | 2 Comments
Last month Lalia Ali and her husband Curtis Conway gave birth to Curtis Muhammad Conway, Jr. If there's ever been a newborn that could kick some azz out of the gate, this is him. We're already placing our bets on how many wigs this kid splits in daycare.
Between Mommy and Daddy this kid ain't gone never get outta pocket. It would be interesting to see how arguments go down in this household. On the real, we love seeing a black family doing things the RIGHT way.
Peep more after the break.
