A new friend of mine has a gluten allergy, and I offered to cook for her the other night. It isn't really my style to go easy and just make some meat and veggies for her. I wanted to make bread! I didn't want to fake bread and try to re create pizza or anything like that. I had to find a bread that is already gluten free. I had some lamb leftover in the freezer, and luckily everyone was cool with Indian food. I found a traditional south Indian flatbread called dosa that is made with rice, lentils and fenugreek.

Mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish of fried mashed plantains that I have always wanted to try. Any new way I can eat plantains is welcome to me! There is a large Puerto Rican population here in Springfield, but I have been unable to make it to a restaurant. The beef I made with the mofongo was in the pack I recently received from U.S. Wellness Meats. Normally I would braise a beef bottom round, but the quality was so nice that it came out perfectly as a roast. I just wish I had a bit more time to marinade it.
Before we start, I want to mention that there was a lot of internet outrage over the wining couple. Click through, and we can talk about it. Also, did you guys see my interview with Judge Sarah Willingham yesterday?
Sarah Willingham is one of the judges on the TV show "Last Restaurant Standing" I have been recapping and reviewing the show on the website weekly, and the season finale airs tonight at 9pm on BBC America. I was lucky enough to come across Sarah's Email address, and she was kind enough to grant me an interview. I had a lot of fun talking to her this week, and I hope you guys like the interview as much as I did!
Today's post is from the cover of Food and Wine this month. I have looked for soba a few times in the past few months and been unable to find it. I recently saw it at a random store in the mountains, driving home from a snowboarding trip. The next day I got this issue of F&W in the mail and knew I had to make it. It tasted fantastic and was totally worthy of the cover. I actually followed the recipe closer than I have followed a recipe in awhile. I added broccoli to mine, but I treated it the same as the shrimp.
Before we start, Let me tell you guys why I decided to make borscht in the first place. John recently went to Poland and visited with family over there. Being the food lover that I am, I didn't ask how his family was, or what he saw there, all I asked about was borscht. What is it like? Do you like it? Are there a million different types? When he got back, I begged him for a secret family borscht recipe. After a few months, he finally emailed his cousin for the recipe. a few weeks later she got back to him with what seemed like a very simple beet broth recipe. The borscht John had described had lots of "chunks" and very little broth! I googled a sentence from the recipe and found that it was copy-pasted from the BBC website, and one of the first google results for borscht. We got scammed! I suppose they didn't want to give away family secrets to the world. I was so excited to try borscht that I decided to research it a bit and wing a recipe. John said it tasted nothing like the borscht he had in Poland, but that's cause you didn't get me the damn recipe John! I don't claim this to be authentic, because I have never tasted borscht before and made up this recipe. I DO however claim it to be delicious.
There is a large Polish population here in Western Massachusetts, and pierogi are a very popular dish. I myself had never tried one until recently, but really, I sort of had. This is because pierogi are like a mix between ravioli and potstickers, both of which I make all the time. John and Steph are both part polish, and were craving some polish food, so the other night we made pierogi and borscht. I will be posting the borscht recipe tomorrow.
This week, Last Restaurant Standing was more of a continuation of last week's show. We start out seeing Raymond doing the BEST COOKING DEMO EVER! Pregnant Vanilla? You crazy Ray. In a good way. Hmm, I wonder if this episode will be about demos? We learn that the couples will have to teach a cooking class, then run a normal service, then do a demo in front of 100 people. Click through to read the rest of the review, with spoilers.
A few weeks ago, I was approached by a marketer for US Wellness Meats. She said they would send me a bunch of meat, and all I had to do was talk about it on my website! Where do I sign up? A few days later, a cooler came in the mail with 15 lbs of meat, all individually sealed and frozen. I was skeptical about how frozen/mailed meat would taste, but after cooking with it for the first time last night, I was super impressed. These were some of the best short ribs I have ever cooked with! And I have made short ribs a lot. But knowing my site, did you guys think that I would just make some generic recipes for this awesome meat? Nahhh, I had to do it justice. Ever since I cooked pasta in coffee, I have been wanting to braise something in coffee, and these ribs were just the thing. Even though I like my coffee black, most others don't, so I threw in a side of super creamy potatoes.
Did you guys watch 30 Rock last night? I thought they were talking about me for a minute, but it was an actual guy with food in his beard. Anyway, no story behind today's recipe, just some really delicious food. I made risotto with barley instead of arborio rice and was surprised to find out it was just as good, if not better than the original (and better for you). It's nothing new, the idea has been going around on blogs for years, but for some reason I didn't think it would taste very good. It was super creamy, had a beautiful texture, and a slightly nutty flavor. I made mine with brussel sprouts and goat cheese.
Normally I am not the type of blogger who does things ahead of time. I tend to cook as things happen and post them after the fact. Most of my blogger friends cook Thanksgiving dinner a few weeks before Thanksgiving so they can post the recipes. My style is more, "This is what I made, make it next year or something, deal with it". Well guess what? I was a good blogger this week and made some Valentine stuff just in time to show you guys early! I have been wanting to make fortune cookies for awhile, and I thought Valentine's Day would be a perfect time. Without a job or a "special someone" myself, I didn't really have any reason to make them! I recruited my sister and mom to take some to school and work. I also made a few for a get together this Friday night.
I loved LRS this week! I enjoyed the storylines all 3 couples gave us. To see their versatility, Raymond wants each couple to serve 2 very different types of people; couples and singles. He wants them to first sell a takehome meal for 2, then cater a singles dinner. Whoa, just in time for valentines day! Click through to read the full review with spoilers from last night.
In Bermuda I used to always get a macadamia crusted fish at a restaurant called Blu. I have been wanting to do a nut crusted fish, but hadn't really gotten around to it, wondering what to serve it with. The idea came to me to do a peanut crusted fish watching Iron Chef one night. I thought it would be good paired with a tamarind pasta sort of giving the whole thing a pad Thai effect. I overcooked the fish, but the meal was still amazing and something I would recreate for a classy dinner.
I have been wanting to try my hand in Charcuterie forEVER, but in Bermuda I was always worried about humidity levels. You can't really hang dry a piece of meat when there is 77% humidity year round! A basement in the winter in New England is another story. There are perfect conditions right now; about 55 degrees and very dry. For those who do not know, pancetta is similar to bacon. They are both made from pork belly, but bacon is cured and smoked, pancetta only cured. It came out amazing, one of the favorite things I have ever made. I was a bit worried while it was hanging because it formed a hard crust on the outside that was not mentioned in any of the recipes I saw. Cutting away the crust was like unveiling a lost artifact from another time. People go nutty for bacon these days, with whole blogs devoted to bacon in anything from breakfast to dessert, but most people use the thin sliced, brine cured supermarket crap bacon. You have not tried bacon until you have tried it like this.
They came back hard this week with a great episode of Last Restaurant Standing. Raymond's favorite British tradition is Tea Time, so he has the couples cater an upscale tea party. Too bad it was super hot that day and every couple was late. It pretty much turned out to be a disaster. Later on, Ray sent a dinner party to each of the couples restaurants. The groups had special requests that included a cake for dessert! Would the couples redeem themselves after the tea disaster? Click through to check out my recap (with spoilers).
Rich and Kim, also known as "Design Team" are my two really artistic and creative friends. They continually get me birthday and Christmas presents year after year that are really awesome and unique, like paintings and framed designs, not to mention all the work they have done on my website in the past. My creativity does not fare well beyond the kitchen, so I have not been able to return the favor until this cool idea I thought of. I hadn't seen them in almost 2 months so I kinda missed Christmas, but this past weekend I gave them these colorful wontons. The green ones actually match Rich's apartment perfectly!
This Saturday while ripping apart Sunday River on my new Burton Mayhem (rolling down the mountain in a giant snowball) I realized that that day was the 2 year birthday of The Food in my Beard! How the time has flown you guys, am I right? A lot of sites list their most popular and favorite posts on a day like today, but I did something like that last year, and probably will do it again next year, so I think this year should be the year of my greatest misses. After the jump, I am listing my top 5 worst posts, and a special DVD bonus feature of a meal that was so bad, I never even posted it! P.S. The second year is the cotton anniversary, so buy a T shirt!

Receivers and managers appointed to Elysium NoosaDOWNLOAD
Elysium Noosa Pty Limited (Receivers & Managers Appointed) - ACN 101 485 634
N. R. Nominees Pty Limited (Receivers & Managers Appointed) - ACN 107 035 772
On 23 September 2009, Deloitte partners John Greig and Chris Campbell were appointed by the secured creditor as receivers and managers of Elysium Noosa, the luxury residential community based in Noosa, Queensland.
The community consists of 189 residential lots situated on 27.04 hectares of land adjacent to the Noosa Springs Golf Course, Noosa Heads. To date, a total of 30 residences have been built with 14 sold and 16 soon to be available for purchase.
Commenting on the appointment Deloitte partner Mr Greig said, "We are currently assessing the financial position of the company and exploring all available options to maximise the value of the development
"There are a number of options that range from the sale of the development in the short term to the establishment of a joint venture with a partner interested in completing the staged development over time. We plan to make a decision regarding the future of the development within the next couple of weeks."
A company most commonly goes into receivership when a receiver is appointed by a secured creditor who holds security over some or all of the company's assets. The receiver's primary role is to collect and sell sufficient charged assets to repay the debt owed to the secured creditor.

In 2008, Obama campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama has divided us along philosophical lines, pushed us apart, and is trying to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Like his liberal socialist progressive ideas and policies, it will fail. His failures have only made things worse. His getting re-elected can only mean; "Terrible Days are Ahead" and says something not very flattering about "We the People". One thing about the president: he desperately wants to leave a legacy. He and specifically his backers will do whatever it takes to see it happen. Hold on…the next four years will be; the likes of which have never been seen before.

Advising, Colloquium & Connections
Academic and career advising at Linfield is a four-year plan. All students are assigned a faculty advisor, first in their Colloquium course or Connections program, and later in the academic department that houses their major. However, they also have resources such as the Office of Academic Advising for general advising or the offices of Learning Support Services, Career Development and Student Health, Wellness & Counseling for more specific assistance.
In the first semester on campus, all freshmen will be enrolled in a Colloquium course. This one-semester, one-credit course is designed to help students make a successful transition from high school to the college environment. Through Colloquium, students will:
- receive guidance and support in adjusting to college life,
- discover the ins and outs of navigating Linfield,
- get to know faculty and peer advisors,
- learn about resources on campus,
- receive advising and assistance in registering for classes,
- improve time management and study skills,
- consider and make plans for short- and long-term academic goals; and,
- make new friends and build community.
During the first semester on campus, all new transfer students will participate in the Connections program. The program is designed to help new transfer students meet each other and become more familiar with the academic and campus life at Linfield.
Common Read
As part of the Colloquium course and Connections program, all new students participate in Linfield's Summer Common Read. All new students receive a copy of the book to read during the summer prior to enrollment. In the fall, students and faculty participate in campus-wide conversations about the book from a variety of academic perspectives.
The 2015 selection will be announced later this year.
Previous selections have included:
- Ignorance: How it Drives Science by Stuart Firestein (2014)
- Thieves of Baghdad, by Matthew Bogdanos with William Patrick (2013)
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot (2012)
- Hector and the Search for Happiness, A Novel, by Francois Lelord (2011)
- In Defense of Food, An Eater's Manifesto, by Michael Pollan (2010)
- Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change, by Elizabeth Kobert (2009)
- Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin (2008)

The VaR of a portfolio is the worst loss expected to be suffered over a given period of time with a given probability. The time period is known as the holding period, and the probability is known as the confidence interval. VaR is not an estimate of the worst possible loss, but the largest likely loss. For example, a firm might estimate its VaR over 10 days to be $100 million, with a confidence interval of 95%. This would mean there is a one-in-20 (5%) chance of a loss larger than $100 million in the next 10 days.
In order to calculate VaR, a firm must model both the way the relevant market factors will change over the holding period and the way, if any, these changes are correlated between market factors. It must then evaluate the potential effects of these changes on its portfolio at the desired level of consolidation (by asset class, group or business line, for example).

The Energy Risk Glossary, now in its eighth edition, provides an at-a-glance explanation of the myriad specialised terms and acronyms used in energy trading and risk management.
This year, the guide has been updated by Aviv Handler of ETR Advisory. Energy Risk would like to thank him for his input into this edition, which benefits greatly from his valuable experience and insight into energy markets.
The fast-changing nature of these markets means much has changed since our last edition – almost 200 new entries and revisions have been made this year. Reflecting the increasing importance of regulation, definitions of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFid) and the Ljubljana-based Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (Acer) make it into the glossary for the first time. A focus on improving back-office infrastructure and mitigating counterparty risk is also apparent from the inclusion of terms such as 'portfolio reconciliation' and 'portfolio compression'.
The glossary is extensively cross-referenced, making for easy and thorough searches. We hope you find it useful.

PHOENIX — The Suns are about to tip off their final home game of the year, so of course the biggest news of the day was the Phoenix Mercury formally selecting Brittney Griner with the first overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft. Mercury coach and Suns player development specialist Corey Gaines addressed the media about the Mercury's fortune, and he was also asked for his opinion on Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's comments about potentially drafting Griner.
"Somebody from the WNBA, (for their) name to be mentioned in the NBA, it's just an honor," Gaines said. "I'll take it as that. He does what he wants to do.
"It's an honor for the whole WNBA, it's an honor for women's basketball."
At the same time, don't expect Gaines to be open toward letting Griner try out for the Mavericks whether it be a PR move or a serious consideration — my opinion there is that it isn't the latter.
"Summer League is messing with our games," Gaines said. "I think that won't happen. That wouldn't be a smart thing. If (Cuban) wants to talk about it, talk about it – it's better for us."
- The Utah Jazz defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 96-80, shortly after the Suns-Rockets tip. To make the playoffs, that means the Jazz must beat a Memphis Grizzlies team that has something to play for on Wednesday while also hoping for the Rockets to beat the Lakers. This of course, will put Suns fans on edge. But if the Suns can beat Houston tonight, one would think that would give the Rockets a little bigger sense of urgency in their final game.
- There is a question as to whether or not the Mercury tanked to set themselves up for the No. 1 draft selection as Michael Schwartz wrote this summer. Gaines made a comment regarding his team's luck that if taken out of context, makes the Suns' option of tanking seem like a really good one. "I know some people say that it's good to be good, but it's good to be lucky," Gaines said. "I'm also a person who believes you make your own luck."
Gaines added that making the Mercury's luck would include developing Griner into a dominating presence. It wasn't an admission of tanking by any means, but it's fun to think of it that way. Perhaps the Suns can take notes.
- Jermaine O'Neal, whose goaltend last week handed the Rockets a victory after the final buzzer, will not dress Monday night against the Rockets. He has missed time with a shin injury, though no reason was given in the pregame injury report.
- Suns interim coach Lindsey Hunter said that the team's training staff has said it's unlikely Marcin Gortat returns for the final game.

People get Associates Degrees in two years but a court can't render a decision on ONE straight-forward case for two years?
Psystar were never going to win, it would have been interesting if they had won though
Psystar could just sell the hardware and also sell copies of Mac OS X separately and not preinstalled on their "hackintosh" hardware.
They'd be selling two products and not breaking any laws or EULAs. If the customer wants to install Mac OS X in this hardware that's the customer breaking the EULA and I'd love to see Apple try sue someone for installing software they have bought on hardware the have bought.
Really don't see how psystar were going to win. Should of just sold the computer with no software.
This just doesn't seem like a case that should take two years. You look at the products spend a few days...maybe a couple of weeks hearing both sides and determining how they operate and what similarities and differences exist between them.....and bada bing bada boom......make a decision.
Sounds like this case was just blown off and delayed into oblivion.
there are so many gray areas in software and copyright law that could have made it go on longer
Damn I wanted a hackintosh computer I was hoping they would have won. This sucks.

Here's a few pictures of Grandpa William Wainer working in the garden.
On September 21, 1944 Edward W. Wainer (1926-2010) joins the service. Uncle Eddie ended up serving in Patton's Third Army. Here are a few pictures:
William Wainer (1887-1965)
Edward Wainer (1926-2010)
Annie Ostafyczuk (1892-1945)
Alice Wainer (1921-2010)
Edward Wainer (1926-2010)
Florence Wainer (1928-1974)
And finally
Peter Wainer (1929-2013)
Edward Wainer (1926-2010)
My dad looks all of 12 years old in this picture but will, in fact, join the army in 2 years (13 Nov 1946).
The 1940 census has come out. It's has not all been scanned electronically yet and it will be quite some time until you can search by name. However, if you know what state, county, city and enumeration district to look in and you happen to be looking in a state that has been scanned, you can get cool stuff like this:
Ancestry.com. 1940 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2012.
Original data: United States of America, Bureau of the Census. Sixteenth Census of the United States, 1940. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1940. T627, 4,643 rolls. Maine, Somerset, Fairfield, Enumeration district 13-19A. Page 24.
There's a bunch on interesting information here. One of the more interesting things is that the person labeled "Olga" is really my Aunt Alice. Her parents and her siblings called her Olga for much of her life. The original Olga died as an infant and when Alice was born, even though they gave her the name Alice on her birth certificate, called her Olga.
It's also interesting to me that all the guys that were old enough worked in the pulp mill.

Classic Allure Gate-fold Invitations Worth the money! I even got lucky and ordered my invites during a promotion they had, so I saved a decent amount of money! The invites are beautiful. I was nervous because I didn't order any samples and I had to pick invites ASAP. In my opinion, the colors were quite similar to the digital version. I didn't have to worry about the colors being off or different than what I saw online. The invites surpassed my expectations. Thank you so much!!! Oh and they even sent me a sample for a wedding program. I didn't ask for one so it was a pleasant surprise.

We changed the floral pattern to damask. The quality and color of the invitations are great and they ship exactly what you ordered. They also always include a couple extra in their shipments. They also always have discounts you can use!
Amazing invitation
Floral Ornament Gate-fold Invitations My wedding invitations came out beautifully. The quality & quantity for the price is great. I was able to customize every color and every font. Thanks to the "Just One" option, I was able to see how the invite looked in person. I realized I wanted the font larger and some of the colors lighter. I was able to make the changes before I committed to my final order and I couldn't be happier. I have no complaints about this product :)

Hey. You. Yes, you there. Scrolling through epic fanfics, Fall Out boy pictures, memes and the occasional (okay, plethora of) sex photo(s) in your stream.
Hi. I realize you're probably busy, being awesome and shit. I could only wish that someday, I could be that awesome. Maybe someday.
Anyway, my point is that I'm looking for more friends on the social networks that I use everyday! :)
Let's make these places more awesome by hanging out on them together!
Damn it. I was hoping you were a real person. :(
My followers better all reblog this.
There should be more notes
As long as you're willing to love, you're alright in my book <3
i fucking love this.
This is amazing <3
No H8
If you don't reblog this:
As someone who is uneasy about being open about being "different"…yeah, I support, fuck yeah.
No, I completely understand that and agree to feminism. I myself subscribe to their beliefs about people of all walks of life having equal merit, regardless of what their genitalia is or what other biological traits set them apart.
However, there is still a radical arm that is distincively anti-male, to the point of eschewing gender inequality with transgender women. To me, that's fucked up, and completely goes against any semblance of equality.
I'm for equality in all people, but to say that you can't be sexist or racist towards white males when society clearly demonstrates otherwise is a double standard, and still creates a social inequality.
I'm not looking to marginalize the struggles of other people, but I don't feel that there's actual social progress in creating divisive concepts and barriers in the fight for being treated equally. It is simply not constructive or unifying at all, it only shows and enforces the existing social barriers between demographics of people.
-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.
-You cannot be racist towards white people. Racism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against white people but you CANNOT be racist toward them.
I'm sorry, but I don't think that's right. Neither of these systems are based on oppression per se, rather, they're both based on a system of separatism for the sake of passing blame. As someone who's both:
A.) White
B.) Biologically male
and additionally
C.) Bisexual
I don't feel like I should have to walk on eggshells just because of how I was born. Everyone rambles on and on about "White Male Privilege", but you know what, this is the 21st century. Such a thing shouldn't exist anymore. Yeah, I didn't have to go through certain struggles, but I still have to deal with my own reality of being hated by certain groups simply because my ancestors were fucking cunts.
You can totally be sexist towards men. It's called misandry, and it's prevalent in the more radical arm of the feminist movement. The whole mindset of "men are pigs" is kind of an unfair classification when you think about it. It's as equally bad as passing stereotypes about women off as true. Or people in the wide spectrum of transgenderism. As an equalist, I believe that everyone has an equal represenatation, and that gender isn't part of a social equation.
The same goes for race. The fact is, we live in an age now where things like race and gender should be largely irrelevant in factoring how people treat each other. Just because a group of people doesn't deal with your group's problems doesn't mean they are without struggle and are "privileged". I, for one, may have every semblance of being a privileged white male, but I also have to deal with my own struggles based on the fact that I'm primarily attracted to trans* people. I have my own sets of odd looks, ridicule, and awkward discrimination to deal with.
So, let's stop thinking in terms of separatism and towards something more unified and humanistic, mmkay?
There's this great website that has #diaspora wallpapers. All of it is user-generated content, and it's awesome.
Question of the Day: Let's say that you have it in your power to make one vast change to society, but ultimately you are limited to two choices due to a lack of resources (economy, politics, etc).
One option is to force people to live healthy, highly moralistic-to-your-standards lifestyle, causing society to ultimately become healthy, but completely unhappy.
The other option is to allow people to indulge more in everything unhealthy and immoral to save your economy and keep the power structure intact, shortening the average human lifespan by sheer decades, but everyone is too decadent to care.
What do you do?

ill see it but i cant go outta my way to…unless of course its to see TDKR trailer =P im team DC
Yeah, I think that's a given actually. I just hope neither movie is going to become totally overhyped, though. Everyone I talk to is like "OHHH MY GOD, AVENGERS.", or "OHHH MY GOD, BATMAN.", and Tumblr's fandom is even more of that. :P
That being said, I've heard good things about the movie, apparently it's a hit with critics. I'm kind of skeptical about comic-film adaptations; there's just always so many important things that happen in the comics that they can't possibly stuff into a two-hour movie. Green Lantern was kind of disappointing in that respect (as well as for other reasons, but Ryan Reynolds made a good Hal Jordan at least).

jackchanning replied to your post: Dungeons & Dragons Meets PokeMon
Wait, how does that work? Is it just RPing in an arena-style combat?
Basically, it works like regular story-driven D&D. The significant difference is how rounds are done.
Combat: -Every player gets a Trainer turn, in which their trainer can move or attack -Said player also has Pokemon, which can be summoned during a trainer turn in combat. Additionally, a trainer can have multiple Pokemon out, but only one can be used in combat at a time during a Pokemon turn. -Multiple players can attack the same enemies. -Different attacks and moves are determined by different dice. The handbook actually has stats on every move and every pokemon.
A few other unique things is that during questing, your pokemon act as NPC's that you can interact with. You can take care of them, talk to them, etc etc. Basically, they can be used as characters attached to you for the sake of advancing plot.

Rodeo week is a big one for Howard County residents, especially the old settlers.
The 87th Annual Settlers Reunion will conclude rodeo week, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 18 at the Heritage Museum.
"It started out as a big family reunion for residents of Glasscock and Howard counties and it has evolved over the years," Museum Director Nancy Raney said.
ORSAN — The splash is back.
Forsan Independent School District's swimming pool, which has offered a way for area residents to beat the heat for several years, is once again open for business.
The pool's annual summer run began Memorial Day and will last until August, FISD Superintendent Randy Johnson said.
As temperatures heat up, many area residents will turn their attention to local lakes and swimming pools to try to keep cool. However, according to officials with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, fun in the water can quickly turn deadly without proper supervision for children.
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 7 a.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. today:
• AARON KEITH HILL, 24, of 1304 Stanford, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of public intoxication.
• STEVEN VALENCIA GAMBOA, 27, of 506 N. Nolan, was arrested Tuesday on charges of driving while license suspended/invalid – no insurance and failure to maintain financial responsibility.
• GILBERT JOSHUA MUNOZ, 25, of 2603 Ent, was arrested Tuesday on charges of possession of a controlled substance and a warrant from another agency.
It's time to cowboy up.
The 78th Big Spring Cowboy Reunion and Rodeo is back for three nights — June 16,17 and 18 — at the Big Spring Rodeo grounds.
"We are trying something new this year," Big Spring Cowboy Reunion and Rodeo board member Derek Wash said. "With the hot temperatures especially, we thought we would cut out the parade and do a Rodeo Kick Off instead."
Knowing how to anticipate, prevent and manage certain situations can go a long way to raising a well-rounded child.
Mike Foster, trainer for a World for Children, had a training session Friday morning for area foster families. The three-hour session focused on trauma informed prevention.
"These kids need highly skilled caregivers and we are here to help people get the knowledge base," Foster said. "Investment parenting is a big key. These kids have to know you have something invested in it as well."
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 7 a.m. Monday and 7 a.m. today:
• MELVIN WILLIAM BIDDLE, 48, of 908 W. Fourth St., was arrested Monday on a charge of criminal mischief.
• ALLEN TRISTAN JACKSON, 26, of Lubbock, was arrested Monday on warrants for disregarding a stop sign and failure to appear.
• CHARLES ALLEN ROBINSON, 49, of 434 Dallas, was arrested Monday on a charge of public intoxication.
• AARON KEITH HILL, 24, of 1304 Stanford, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of public intoxication.
• THEFT was reported:
In the 1200 block of E. 11th Place.
With temperatures having already eclipsed the 100-degree mark, officials with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are urging Texans to take precautions.
Emily Palmer, spokesperson for DSHS, said the elderly, the very young, people with chronic diseases and those without access to air conditioning are those most likely to suffer in extremely hot weather.
Special to the Herald
The Howard/Glasscock Relay For Life will have a new look in 2012, with Manny Negron assuming the role of chair of the Relay Committee. Negron, claims supervisor at the local Wal-Mart, has previously served as Team Recruitment co-chair.
Debbye ValVerde, executive director of Big Spring Area Chamber of Commerce, who has co-chaired the Survivor Committee, has been named regional Hero of Hope and plans to assist Negron in that role. She has been active in the Salazar family's sponsorship of the Candle of Hope for several relays.
The Big Spring Police Department reported the following activity between 9 a.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. today:
• FRANK FIERRO JR., 63, of 603 N.W. Fifth St., was arrested Saturday on a charge of public intoxication.
• MELISSA GUERRERO WILLIAMS, 32, of Lamesa, was arrested Saturday on a charge of disorderly conduct – language.
• RUBEN ROJAS JR., 36, of 800 S. Nolan, was arrested Saturday on charges of driving while intoxicated – second offense and driving while license suspended/invalid with a previous conviction.

In addition to the ridiculously huge amount of info in the courses (courses that are both packed with info AND simplistic to understand and implement) the forums are invaluable.

The community on the forums is amazing, both the experts and just members. This is a community full of savvy, creative, friendly entrepreneurs. I learned more in 3 little posts about what I should do with my website than I did in months with a private coach. I was already sold on LKR before social media marketer but now I can't see myself ever working with anybody that is not part of or referred by the LKR team again. – Mary Jean Padalino

"The checklists have helped me move into to action really quickly"
I found the checklists have helped me move into to action really quickly. While learning new stuff is always exciting, its easy to put the doing off when it gets overwhelming .
I found going through the checklists to get the basics in place a great way to get clear and focused around both what to do and what to say! – Sarah Kent

Ludicrous asked an excellent set of questions on a post here a bit ago, and I thought I'd take it out of comment-section obscurity and upgrade it to a post of its own:
How is it that some boys growing up in a culture that turns females into 'the other' are able to overcome the estrangement and others not? How did the these guys and especially the mra's get boxed in?
I think there are many men, talented writers, who could describe their paths out of a childhood misogyny. There are many inspiring stories of folks escaping religion. What are the experiences that help men get over whatever blocks their ability to apprehend the experience of women. Women describe over and over and over what misogyny is and does and yet to these men it is somehow not real, a minor inconvenience at worst.
Several commenters answered in that thread, which tells me this is striking a chord, and more stories are out there. I'm throwing this open to everyone who found a path out of childhood misogyny, keeping in mind that any gender growing up surrounded by misogyny and sexism in their cultures can internalize this crap, even if it harms them directly. I know I did. I know I still do, and have to fight that internalized misogyny on a daily basis. So tell me your stories, and don't worry if you're still a work in progress: if you've managed to make your way to this side of the Deep Rifts™, you've made a good start on that journey.
I'll include the responses from the previous thread to get the conversation started:
Can't speak for others, but for me it took repeated (figurative) smacks to the head. Eventually I realized that 'wait, maybe there's something I'm missing'.
After that, I was perfect, of course. *cough*
My path away from the misogyny I grew up with was mostly about listening to women, trying to understand some of their concerns, and exercising some basic empathy. It's not rocket surgery.
I won't say that I've completely escaped it yet, because some of the worst stuff lingers unconsciously, but I'm working on it.
(Same for racism and other forms of bigotry)
In my own case, while I identified as a strong feminist in high school, looking back I can see a lot of sexist attitudes that I held (and I'm sure there are others I haven't yet recognized nor begun to dismantle). Some of the things I see e.g. MRAs say have come out of my mouth. Despite being reasonably smart and definitely feminist-oriented, my own experience in a society that treated me in a particular way because people read me as White and male and heterosexual led me to a certain set of conclusions about how people interact, how social systems work, what "fair" is, etc. And while I had any number of friends who are not White and plenty who are female, that alone isn't enough to give one a good knowledge base of the experiences of people unlike oneself – friends don't often relate the totalities of their experiences to each other, one's personal group of friends is still going to be a small sample, and one's group of friends is also going to be biased to particular kinds of experiences, as one is unlikely to wind up with friends who travel in very different social environments (becasue if you're traveling in entirely different circles, you're unlikely to ever meet or have enough in common to be friends in the first place). Hence non-White friends or female friends not actually being any sort of defense against charges of sexism or racism (and actually attempting to use them as such is a rather insidious appropriation of their identities).
So, to given an answer to your question, those guys who get boxed in are those who never have anyone or any event push them to expand their perspectives. They stay locked in their narrow worldviews and never see any reason to look for information outside their own experiences. That's one of the things that social privilege allows one to do, because one's perspective is treated as the normative default, so one is unlikely to encounter any push-back about the validity (or, at least, generalizability) of one's own perspective and experiences (as one does when one's experiences or perspectives are contra-normative). This also explains the intense defensive reactions to challenges to privilege (it may be the first time the person has ever had that perspective or interpretation of experiences challenged), and it's one of the ways privilege self-perpetuates, by being invisible to the people who benefit most. Even with e.g. many women loudly and publicly sharing their experiences of street harassment and denouncing it, it is shockingly easy to remain unaware of phenomena like that unless one is actively seeking out perspectives and experiences of dissimilar people. Scientists ought to know better, but even they (like most people) are prone to universalizing/projecting our own perspectives and experiences – this is, of course, why the scientific method requires repeated testing by different researchers (and ideally researchers in very different cultural contexts) to verify results. While the preceding may not accurately describe everyone in the group we're discussing, I have noted it as a common pattern. The default state is tribalist ignorance, and it takes active effort to start to overcome that, so even in cases where pushing past that is the normative (or simply preferred) course, people will wind up in the default state by default.
I could add that perhaps a willingness to question oneself and one's experiences (or interpretations of them) is a necessary precursor to a broader worldview. In my case, my history of mental illness led me to recognize that my perceptions were not necessarily the only possible ones or even those most reflective of reality. A depressed brain lies to itself, so successfully coping with a depressed brain can mean learning methods of self-questioning and external validation of one's interpretations of events, which are valuable skills for questioning normative assumptions.
On the topic of escaping misogyny: I'm a white. male, upper-middle class and I played sports and music, so I was privilaged to the Nth degree and spent most of my life in environments where casual misogyny was the norm. Until only a few years ago I was pretty damn misogynistic in my attitude and approach to dating. And I would have probably gotten defensive if I was ever really called out on it or was confronted by one of those Feminazis I had heard tales about. Nowadays I find myself spending more time reading feminist articles and nodding along as new light bulbs continue to flash on. My turn-about has been so marked that a FB friend (who moved away about 7 years ago) saw one of my posts recently about Anita Sarkesian, I believe, and remarked that she almost didn't recognize me from the wanna-be-womanizer who loved to defend the C-word, that she used to know. She asked what prompted the change and I told her that witnessing the fights in the atheist movement, listening to/reading/absorbing the concepts of actual feminism (rather than the stereotypes) and just questioning my own assumptions was all it took to see how clueless and wrong I was. Maturing, getting married and losing my Mom probably also played a role, but it was mainly just shutting up and listening. Anyways, I'm not looking for a cookie here, just wanted to illustrate that as others have noted above it really comes down to a simple flick of the switch and willingness to examine oneself that can get the ball rolling. And a little effort going forward to try and be better. IE- it doesn't really take much. And for people like me who had all the privilege to comfortably keep our heads in the misogynist sand, just witnessing the Freethoughtblogs Wars of 2009-? can be all that is needed to wake us up.

Daggerfall CovenantTalk0
this wiki
- "Our supplies dwindle. Our trade routes are shut down. Our people suffer. Why? Because a pretender sits upon the Ruby Throne. Let us take up arms! Let the fields of Cyrodiil run red with the blood of our fallen enemies! But let us spare the lives of a few, so that they may return to their homelands to tell their fellows the fate they met at the hands of the Daggerfall Covenant. One land! One Emperor! Who among you will stand with me?"
- ―Call to Arms, High King Emeric
The Daggerfall Covenant is a major faction in The Elder Scrolls Online.
Much like the Ebonheart Pact, the Daggerfall Covenant united races that were commonly known as old enemies. Due to the events in Cyrodiil, trade routes, the region's main source of income, were disrupted. This caused poverty and suffering, and ultimately forced to unite the people under one banner.[OOG 1]
The Daggerfall Covenant stretched over the provinces of High Rock, Hammerfell, the city-state of Orsinium and the Colovian Highlands in Cyrodiil. Its capital is the city of Wayrest, built on two shores of the Bjoulsae River in High Rock. The faction is led by the High King Emeric.[OOG 1]
The starting location for this faction is the city of Daggerfall, where the Vestige wakes up after being brought out of the water where they are deposited after escaping from the Wailing Prison in Coldharbour.
The main reason the Daggerfall Covenant was established was to end the poverty and suffering throughout the kingdoms of High Rock and Hammerfell caused by dwindling trade routes. This could not be done as long as an enemy sat on the Ruby Throne.[OOG 1]
The Merchant King of Wayrest, Emeric, took action and united the previously warring races of Breton, Redguard and Orc. He earned the trust of the kings of High Rock, earned alliance of the Redguards by a diplomatic marriage and, finally, made a war treaty with the Orcs.[OOG 1]
As trade in High Rock and Hammerfell slowed to a halt, it was only appropriate to have a merchant-politician for a leader of this faction. High King Emeric took the throne as he united the races of High Rock, Hammerfell, and the newly-recognized province of Orsinium. Emeric was known for his skill in politics and diplomacy. He, no doubt, was a wise leader, but his foes were given no mercy. His strategy is to infuse fear into his enemies, slaughtering armies and leaving few of the fighters alive, only for them to run and share their tale.[OOG 1]
When the Breton Lion Guard became Emeric's personal army, he adopted the lion as his crest and it subsequently became the symbol of the Daggerfall Covenant.[1][2]
The dominant race of the Daggerfall Covenant, they were once ruled by High Elven overlords after they were discovered to be descended from both Men and Mer before becoming the dominant race in the region of High Rock and edging them out. A reminder of those days is the Mer blood that still runs through their veins. This makes Bretons gifted mages, surpassing the ability of any other race of Men. Described as talented and resourceful, and having a similar focus on honor in battle, the Covenant is often ruthless in the defeat of enemies that threaten their people's prosperity, Bretons are known as skilled craftsmen, shrewd merchants and inventive mages and are famed for their Knights. They value prosperity over glory in battle.[OOG 1]
Living deep within and around the Alik'r desert, Redguards are renowned warriors, both athletic and prodigiously talented. They value honor and dignity above all else; their sacred purpose is to preserve their ancient traditions and prove their strength and prowess, surviving in the harsh environment. Mages are highly distrusted in their society. The capital of the Redguards was the great city of Sentinel.[OOG 1]
The symbol represents the Redguards' skill with blades and battle.
Orcs are fearless warriors, who follow a code of honor, forged in centuries of endless warfare. The quality of Orcish blacksmithry is known throughout Tamriel.[OOG 1]
During the Second Era, when their homeland, Orsinium, was finally given provincial status, they had to prove themselves to be more than mere savage beasts. And the Orcs did so by devoting themselves to the newly forged alliance.[OOG 1]
The symbol represent the orcs being some of the best smiths and warriors in Tamriel.
