Experiments were conducted to study the bioefficacies of different plant/weed derivatives that affect the development of the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculates F. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) fed on black gram, Vigna mungo, seeds. Plant extracts, powder, ash and oil from nishinda (Vitex negundo L.), eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus globules Labill.), bankalmi (Ipomoea sepiaria K.), neem (Azadirachta indica L.), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and bablah (Acacia arabica L.) were evaluated for their oviposition inhibition, surface protectant, residual toxicity and direct toxicity effects on C. maculates. The results showed that plant oils were effective in checking insect infestation. The least number of F1 adults emerged from black gram seeds treated with neem oil. The nishinda oil extract was the most toxic of three extracts tested (nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi). Bablah ash was the most effective compared to the powdered leaves of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi. The powdered leaves and extracts of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi, at a 3% mixture, provided good protection for black gram seeds by reducing insect oviposition, F1 adult emergence, and grain infestation rates. The oil treatment did not show adverse effects on germination capability of seeds, even after three months of treatment.

The pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), is a major pest of economically important leguminous grains, such as cowpeas, lentils, green gram, and black gram (Talukder and Howse 1994; Okonkwo and Okoye 1996; Mulatu and Gebremedhin 2000; Raja et al. 2000; Park et al. 2003). The larvae bore into the pulse grain which become unsuitable for human consumption, viability for replanting, or for the production of sprouts. They are important pests of pulse crops in Asia and Africa under storage conditions (Ogunwolu and Idowu 1994; Okonkwo and Okoye 1996; Mulatu and Gebremedhin 2000; Raja et al. 2000; Ajayi and Lale 2001;
Tapondjou et al. 2002).
Serious problems of genetic resistance by insect species, pest resurgence, residual toxicity, photo toxicity, vertebrate toxicity, widespread environmental hazards and increasing costs of application of the presently used synthetic pesticides have directed the need for effective, biodegradable pesticides (Zettler and Cuperus 1990; Glenn et al. 1994; Ewete et al. 1996; Guedes et al. 1997; Talukder and Howse 2000; Elhag 2000). This awareness has created worldwide interest in the development of alternative strategies, including the re-examination of using plant derivatives against agriculturally important insect-pests. Plant-derived materials are more readily biodegradable. Some are less toxic to mammals, may be more selective in action, and may retard the development of resistance. Their main advantage is that they may be easily and cheaply produced by farmers and small-scale industries as crude, or partially purified extracts. In the last two decades, considerable efforts have been directed at screening plants in order to develop new botanical insecticides as alternatives to the existing insecticides. It was reported that when mixed with stored-grains, leaf, bark, seed powder, or oil extracts of plants reduce oviposition rate and suppress adult emergence of bruchids, and also reduced seed damage rate (Talukder and Howse 1994; Onu and Aliyu 1995; Shaaya et al. 1997; Keita et al. 2001; Tapondjou et al. 2002).
The present research was carried out to determine the oviposition inhibition, surface protectant, residual toxicity and direct-toxicity effects of some local plant/weed derivatives against the pulse beetle, C. maculates fed on black gram, Vigna mungo, seeds. Effects of treatments on the viability of black gram seeds was also determined.
Experiments on the efficacy of plant extracts, powder and oil as oviposition inhibitors, surface protectants, residual toxicants and contact toxicants against C. maculatus were conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University. All insect cultures were maintained in a growth chamber in the laboratory at a temperature of 27 ± 2° C, 12: 12 L:D and with 70 ± 5 % RH during the experiments. All experiments were conducted in a growth chamber under the same conditions.
Test plant materials
Fresh plant leaves of nishinda (Vitex negundo L.), eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus globules Labill.) and bankalmi (Ipomoea sepiaria K.); seeds of neem (Azadirachta indica L.), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) were collected from the Bangladesh Agricultural University campus and neighboring areas during the winter seasons (November - February), washed and air-dried in the shade. Dried leaves and seeds were then ground to powder using an electric grinder. The powder, extract and oil from nishinda, eucalyptus, bankalmi, neem, sesame, safflower and ash of bablah (Acacia arabica L.) wood were used in this experiment. All plant extracts and safflower oil were prepared in the laboratory as described below, except that pure neem and sesame oil were purchased.
Test insects and maintenance
The pulse beetle, C. maculatus F. was used for the present experiments. A small population of C. maculatus beetles was obtained from an entomology laboratory stock. They were reared and bred under laboratory conditions, on diet of the seeds of black gram, Vigna mungo, inside a growth chamber at 27 ± 2° C, with L:D 12: 12 and 70 ± 5 % RH.
Initially, 50 pairs of 1-2 day-old adults were placed in a jar containing black gram seeds. The jars were sealed and a maximum of 7 days were allowed for mating and oviposition. Then parent stocks were removed and black gram seeds containing eggs was transferred to fresh black gram seeds in the breeding jars that were covered with pieces of cloth fastened with rubber bands to prevent the contamination and escape of insects. The subsequent progenies of the beetles were used for all experiments.
Sample preparation of test plants
Powder and dust preparations of leaves were made by separately grinding approximately 500g of leaves of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi in an electric grinding machine. The resulting powder was passed through a 25-mesh sieve to obtain a fine dust.
Acetone extracts were prepared according to the method of Talukder and Howse (1993) with modifications. Ten grams of ground leaves of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi were separately mixed with 50 ml acetone and stirred for 30 minutes using a magnetic stirrer and then left to stand for 24 hours. The mixture was then filtered through Whatman #1 paper, and the solids were stirred again for 15 minutes with 30 ml of acetone and filtered and the filtrates were combined. The solvent from the pooled filtered solution was evaporated in a water bath at 65° C. After complete evaporation of solvents, the final crude extracts were weighed (1.72 g nishinda, 1.84 g eucalyptus and 1.58 g bankalmi), and preserved in sealed bottles in a refrigerator at 5° C until used for insect bioassays.
To prepare the oil extract of safflower seeds, one kg of seeds was ground in blender and soaked overnight in water. The soaked seeds were boiled for 2 hours and cooled. Scums that formed over the liquid were collected carefully leaving the residue below. The collected scum was boiled for extraction of oils. The pure neem and sesame oil were purchased from the local market.
Bablah wood was burned in a clean oven to produce ash. After cooling, the ash was put in sealed jar to prevent the absorption of air moisture. A 600 µm-diameter sieve was used to obtain fine ash.
Oviposition inhibition effects
Laboratory tests for oviposition inhibition effects were conducted according to the method of Talukder and Howse (1994) with some modifications. Whatman filter paper disks (80 mm in diameter) were soaked in a 2 or 3% solution of an extract and air-dried for an hour. The control filter papers were treated with acetone only. The treated and control filter paper discs were placed singly at the bottom of Petri dishes (90 mm diameter) and 5g of black gram seeds were placed on the papers. Five pairs (5 female and 5 male) of C. maculatus beetles were released in each Petri dish which was covered for the next 7 days allowing them to lay eggs.
The adults were then removed and the following data were recorded:
Total number of seeds in each Petri dish
Number of eggs per 50 seeds in each Petri dish
Number of F1 adults emerged in each Petri dish from day 27 - 42
42 days after the setup the following data were recorded:
Percentage of eggs hatching = (Total egg hatch/ Total eggs in each Petri dish) x 100
Inhibition rates IR% = [(Cn Tn) / Cn] x 100 (Where Cn = Number of insects in control dish and Tn = Number of insects in treated dish)
Surface protectant effects
The tests for surface protectant effects were conducted according to the method of Talukder and Howse (1994) with some modifications. Diluted oil of neem, sesame and safflower were separately mixed with black gram seed at the ratio of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 ml/kg seed. The oils were diluted with petroleum ether. Conical flasks, containing 40 g of seeds and oil mixture were shaken manually until the seeds were uniformly coated. After shaking, seeds were taken out and air-dried for one hour to evaporate the petroleum ether. Ten grams of treated or control seeds were put into each plastic pot (3.5 cm height x 4 cm diameter). Five pair (5 female and 5 male) of pulse beetle were released in each pot which were closed with a lid for7 days to allow them to oviposit. The adults were then removed from the pots and data were recorded as described in the previous section.
Direct toxicity by dipping method
The leaf extracts of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi were diluted with acetone to make 2, 4 and 6% solutions. Five pair of adult insects (2-3 day old) were placed at the center of a piece of filter paper and the paper was twisted to enclose them. They were dipped in diluted extract or control solution for 35 seconds. The insects were removed, air-dried and returned to Petri dishes containing 5 g of black gram seeds. Four replications were made for each dose. Mortality was observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Insects were examined daily and those that did not move or respond to gentle touch were considered dead. Insect mortality data were corrected by Abbott's formula (1925), transformed into arcsin √percentage values before ANOVA and then analyzed using ANOVA & Duncan's multiple range test (Duncan 1951). The concentration - mortality lines were calculated using probit analysis (Finney 1971) with a log10 transformation of concentrations of plant extracts. The results were expressed as concentration (%) per insect. Two LC50s were considered to be significantly different (P < 0.05) if their 95% fiducial limits did not overlap; slopes were similarly considered to be significantly different if their standard errors did not overlap.
Residual toxicity test
A residual toxicity test was conducted according to the method of Talukder and Howse (1994) with some modifications. Ground leaf powders of nishinda, eucalyptus, bankalmi and bablah ash were mixed with black gram at the rate of 2% and 3% (w/w). The treated foods were then put into separate plastic pots (3.5 cm 4 cm), so that each pot contained 10 g of black gram seeds. Four replications were made of each dose. Five pair of adult beetles were introduced at the center of the pot containing the seeds and closed with a cover for 7 days to allow them to oviposit. The control pots contained untreated black gram seeds. The adults were then removed from the pots. The following observations were recorded:
Number of F1 adult emerging from each pot (from day 27 to day 42).
Seed damage rate from the random sample of 100 seeds at the end of the experiment,
Inhibition rates as described above
Percentage seed weight loss = [UNd DNu/ U (Nd + Nu)] x 100 (where, U = Weight of undamaged grain, D = Weight of damaged grain, Nd = Number of damaged seeds and Nu = Number of undamaged seeds)
Seed germination test
The viability of treated and control seeds were tested 3 months after the oil application. For this assay, black gram seeds were separately treated with the neem, safflower or sesame oil at the rate of 10 ml oil per kg seeds (1% v/w). The control seeds were treated with the solvent, but no oil or solvent was applied to the untreated seeds. The treated and control seeds were air-dried for 2-3 hours. Then 25 seeds from each treated, control or untreated group were placed separately in glass jars, under laboratory conditions but without insects, for 3 months. Each treatment was replicated four times. The germination of seed was evaluated for each treatment. Each group of seeds was placed on moist filter paper in Petri dishes. The dishes were kept in a incubator at 25° C and 12:12 L:D conditions. The dishes were observed for the germination of seeds for the next two months. Seed qualities were judged by tasting and smelling the treated seeds.
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed using a two factor completely randomized design using the different plant extracts and rates of application as the two factors. Mean values were adjusted by Duncan's Multiple Range test (Duncan 1951). For mortality tests, original data were corrected by Abbott's (1925) formula, transformed into arcsin & percentage values and then data were analyzed by probit analysis (Finney 1971).
Oviposition inhibition effects of acetone extracts
The effects of different plant acetone extracts on oviposition are given in Table 1.
Table 1. Effects of different acetone extracts on ovipostion of the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus.
The effects of different extracts on pulse beetles were evaluated by comparing the total number of eggs laid, egg hatching percentage and inhibition rates in the treated and control black gram seeds. The lowest number of eggs were laid in the food treated with nishinda, followed by eucalyptus and bankalmi at an extract concentration of 2%. The lowest hatching rate was found after treatment with bankalmi and nishinda leaf extract. Similar trends were noted for the 3% mixture. The highest oviposition inhibition rate was recorded in food treated with nishinda, followed by eucalyptus and bankalmi. Similar trends were noted for the 3% mixture.
Surface protectant effect of different oils
The effects of treating the surface of the black gram seeds with oils of neem, safflower and sesame oil on C. maculates was investigated by comparing the number of F1 adult emerged, the total number of eggs laid, hatching percentage and inhibition rate using doses of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% plant oils (Table 2). At a concentration of 0.25%, the lowest numbers of F1 adults emerged from seeds treated with neem oil, followed by safflower oil. The minimum numbers of total eggs were laid in the black gram seeds treated with 0.25% neem oil, and safflower oil. The lowest percentage of eggs hatching occurred from seeds treated with 0.25% sesame oil, followed by neem oil. The highest inhibition rate was counted from the seeds treated with 0.25% neem oil, followed by safflower oil. Higher concentrations of oil extract severely reduced emergence, hatching and oviposition.
Table 2. Surface protectant effect of different oils (v/w) on the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus.
Residual toxicity of powders and ash
The efficacy of different powders and bablah wood ash as grain protectants, was evaluated against C. maculates by comparing the number of emerged F1 progeny, seed damage rate, weight loss percentage and inhibition rates (Table 3). Female beetles were deterred from ovipositing in black gram seeds treated with leaf powders of nishinda, eucalyptus, bankalmi and bablah wood ash applied at the rate of 2% and 3% (w/w). At rates of 2 and 3 %, bablah wood ash and nishinda powder had similar effects on F1 progeny, seed damage, weight loss and inhibition rates.
Table 3. Residual toxicity of different powdered leaves and wood ash on the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus.
Direct toxicity effects of acetone extracts
Insect mortality at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment, due to direct toxicity of acetone extracts of nishinda, eucalyptus and bankalmi leaves on C. maculates, was evaluated at three different rates 2, 4 and 6% (Table 4). The order of toxicity of the three extracts on pulse beetle was nishinda > eucalyptus > bankalmi. Mortality percentages were directly proportional to the extract concentrations and also with time after treatment.
Table 4. Direct toxicity effect (by dipping method) of different acetone extracts on pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus F.
Probit analysis of the effects of acetone extracts
The probit statistics, estimate of LC50 and their 95% fiducial limits and the slope of regression lines for 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment are presented in Table 5. From probit analysis at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment it was found that the nishinda extract was the most toxic followed by bankalmi extract (Tables 5A-5C). The bankalmi extract had the lowest toxic on C. maculates. The extract of nishinda had the highest toxic effects against pulse beetle and lowest LC50 values. Higher concentrations contributed more significantly to the efficacy of extracts on the mortality of C. maculates and they appeared to be the most important factors in the degree of control obtained with different plant extracts.
Table 5. Probit analysis for direct toxicity at 24, 48 and 72 hours after dipping application of different acetone extracts to pulse beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus
When probit regression lines of the three different extracts were calculated, they showed a linear relationship between mortality percentage and extract concentration at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. From the analysis, the regression line equations at 24 hours after treatment were Y = 3.895 + 0.731X for nishinda extract, Y = 3.688 + 0.662X for eucalyptus extract and Y = 3.251 + 1.079X for bankalmi extract. At 48 hours after treatment, the regression line equations were calculated as Y= 4.526 + 0.887X for nishinda extract, Y = 4.392 + 0.620X for eucalyptus extract and Y= 4.297 + 0.616X for bankalmi extract. At 72 HAT, the regression line equations were calculated as Y= 5.243 + 0.976X for nishinda extract, Y = 4.997 + 1.035X for eucalyptus extract and Y = 4.759 + 1.120X for bankalmi extract. Comparing all regression lines at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment, the regression lines for nishinda extract showed higher probit mortality in every case. The bankalmi treatment was more effective at providing immediate control of C. maculates, but its effectiveness decreased over time. In contrast, nishinda became more effective with increased time.
Effect of different plant oils on seed germination
All the treated and control seeds were as viable as the untreated seeds (Table 6).
Table 6. Effect of different plant oils (10 ml/kg) on black gram seed viability
Effects of treated food on oviposition
Bhuiyan and Quiniones (1990) reported that nishinda leaf powder effectively prevented oviposition by the corn weevil. Talukder and Howse (1994) showed that the admixture of food with pithraj leaf, bark and seed powder reduced the oviposition rates of the pulse beetle. Srivastava et al.(1988) reported that eucalyptus oil effectively prevented the oviposition of insects. Mulatu and Gebremedhin (2000) showed that the oils of A. indica, Milletiaie ferruginea and Chrysanthemum cineraraefolium were the most effective in partially or completely preventing egg laying, and pulse beetles emergence from the laid eggs. Lale and Mustapha (2000) found no significant difference in the efficacy of neem seed oil and pirimiphos-methyl in reducing oviposition of C. maculatus, adult emergence or seed damage rates in treated cowpeas. Elhag (2000) tested extracts from nine plant materials as oviposition deterrents against C. maculatus and found that pulse treated with Rhazya stricta leaves, neem seeds, Heliotropium bacciferum aerial parts and citrus peels acted as highest ovipositional deterrents. Tapondjou et al. (2002) showed that the dry ground leaf of Chenopodium ambrosioides inhibited F1 progeny production and adult emergence of the C. chinensis and C. maculatus. These results are in general agreement with our findings.
Effects of oil extracts
Oils of mustard, sunflower, safflower, castor and cotton acted as surface protectants against C. maculates population growth by reducing the seed damage rate and the number of F1 adults that emerged. Ketker (1989) observed that different oils of neem, coconut, and castor acted as surface protectants on green gram to check the pulse beetle and among them neem oil was the best surface protectant. Ramzan (1994) reported that cotton seed, sunflower, groundnut, soybean and mustard oils, when mixed with cowpea, completely suppressed adult emergence of C. maculates. Shaaya et al. (1997) reported that edible oils are potential control agents against C. maculatus and can play an important role in stored-grain protection. Ahmed et al. (1999) found that the neem and sesame oils completely inhibited adult emergence and appeared to be most promising as a seed protectant against C. chinensis. Yalamanchilli and Punukollu (2000) observed that the volatile oil from the leaves of Curcuma domestica could effectively protect the seeds, against C. chinensis, at a low concentration. In our present experiment, neem oil was the best protectant followed by the sesame oil.
Residual toxicity
Mueke and Apuuli (1988) found that ash mixed with cowpea seeds gave satisfactory control of C. maculatus. Bioefficacy results from Lolage and Patil (1992) showed that neem, karanj, castor, groundnut and mustard oils significantly reduced seed damage rate from C. maculatus infestation. Seck (1994) reported that Securida longepedunculata leaf powder reduced or completely inhibited both emergence of F1 progeny of C. maculatus and seed damage. Ahmed et al. (1999) showed that after three days of release, 100% of the C. chinensis adults were found dead on neem oil-treated beans. Raja et al. (2000) reported that when jute bags treated with different plant leaf extracts including A. indica, V. negundo, C. collinus and J. curcas, and then used for cowpea seeds storage, the egg laying rates by the C. maculatus, adult emergence and seed damage were reduced. Raja et al. (2001) reported that when pulses were stored in gunny bags treated with aqueous extract from leaves of Melia azadirachta, Hyptis suaveolens and tubers of Cyperus rotundus, they effectively protected stored pulses without any infestation for up to 6 months. In contrast, our results show that bablah wood ash showed the most residual toxicity of the tested plant products.
Direct toxicity
Bhaduri et al. (1985), found that the leaf extract of bankalmi had insecticidal properties against pulse beetle. Other researchers showed that different botanical extracts could be used for the control of pulse beetle. Ogunwolu and Idowu (1994) showed that 2.5% powdered seed of A. indica were toxic to C. maculatus. Mbata et al. (19951995) reported that dust and ether-extract from the seeds of the brown pepper were effective in enhancing the mortality of C. maculatus adults infesting cowpea seeds. Kim et al. (2003) showed the potent insecticidal activity of extract from cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) bark and oil, horseradish (Cocholeria aroracia) oil, and mustard (Brassica juncea) oil against C. chinensis, within 1 day after treatment. Okonkwo and Okoye (1996) reported that essential oils of Dennettia tripetela and brown pepper (Piper guineense) achieved 100% mortality of adults of C. maculatus in 24 h. Mulatu and Gebremedhin (2000) reported that eucalyptus seed powder treatment caused the death of emerging adult of Callosobruchus chinensis. In contrast to these studies, our results showed that nishinda acetone extracts were the most toxic.
Effects of oils on seed germination
Das (1986), Onu & Aliyu (1995) and Keita et al. (2001) reported that seeds treated with botanical extract oils did not loose their viability. Onu and Aliyu (1995) reported that though various pepper powders were effective in reducing oviposition and damage of C. maculatus, seed quality and viability were not affected. Keita et al. (2001) reported that powders made from essential oils of different basils provided complete protection against C. maculatus, and also did not show significant effect on the seed germination rate. Our results confirmed these studies.
The findings of the present investigations indicate that botanical derivatives might be useful as insect control agents for commercial use. All of the three powders and extracts tested were effective to some degree in reducing the ovipositional preferences and increasing the inhibition rates. Significantly fewer F1 adults emerged from food treated with extracts and powders. The highest F1 progeny inhibition was observed in black gram seeds treated with acetone extracts of nishinda leaves. Bablah ash provided better protection than three other powders. The neem oil was the most effective among three oils. To minimize the severe damage caused by insect pests, the traditional use of plant products, proved to be highly effective against stored-product insects. Application of plant/vegetable oils to grain seeds for storage is an inexpensive and effective technique, and its easy adaptability will give additional advantages leading to acceptances of this technology by farmers. A study to improve the effectiveness of botanical derivatives as insecticides will benefit agricultural sectors of developing countries, as these substance are not only of low cost, but also have less environmental impact in term of insecticidal hazard.

I went to a Memorial Day BBQ this weekend and the host was vegetarian and hostess was vegan, so I pulled out this recipe for "Baked Sesame Tofu" that my aunt gave me back in March. Apparently she'd been to a friend's house for a party where this dish was served and so many people asked for the recipe that she sent it in their holiday card the following year. I decided it was the perfect dish to make for my friend's party, and it was incredibly easy.
I don't have a picture of the final product unfortunately - we cooked it on the grill last night and photographing the finished product was the last thing on my mind. I didn't taste it either but I received lots of compliments so I think it was a hit. Here's the recipe:
Happy Memorial Day!

Are you a Lemon Lover? Have you ever tried to prepare desserts in your Crock-Pot/slow cooker? I have a wonderful dessert recipe for you today. If you enjoy Lemons, you need to try this Crock-Pot Lemon Pudding Cake. It reminds me of a perfect sunshiny day. I just feel happy when eating this burst of lemon sunshine goodness. This Lemon Pudding Cake is sweet but balanced with a little tart. It makes a delicious cake that forms on top of a creamy pudding. It only takes about an hour to prepare this dessert in the Crock-Pot so keep that in mind when you plan to serve it. This Crock-Pot Lemon Pudding Cake is best when you serve it warm right out of the slow cooker. I love topping my desserts including this one with a little homemade whipped cream. If you love lemon, check out my Easy Lemon Cake recipe.
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
- 3/4 sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Best eggs whites until stiff peaks form. set aside
- Beat eggs yolks.
- Add in lemon juice, lemon peal, melted butter, and buttermilk.
- Mix together the sugar, flour, and the salt.
- Add the sugar flour mixture to the egg yolk and lemon mixture.
- Mix in egg whites by hand. DO NOT leave big egg white clumps. Press the large egg white clumps against the side of the bowl.
- Spoon into a slow cooker that has been sprayed with a cooking spray.
- Cook on high 1 hour. Just until the top of the cake is set. Serve immediately. Scoop part of the cake with the warm pudding under the cake.
Recipe adapted from Fix It and Forget It cookbook. I replaced the milk with buttermilk.

toaster oven cuisine...any fave recipes?
I nuke Idahos about 1/2 mins each to start; then cut into wedges; sprinkle with OO & garlic + herbs of choice...convection bake @ 375 for about 30 mins....they come out crispy on the outside, golden brown & light on the inside...
works great in the TO...in the regular oven? not so much...wonder why...
Anyone else have fave TO recipes?
So, do you nuke the idahos whole, as if you were making baked potatoes? I'm going to have to try this!
This isn't really cuisine, but one of my favorites in the toaster oven is to lightly toast a whole grain waffle, take out and butter, then top with a piece of cheese and put back in under broil until cheese gets bubbly. Very good breakfast!
I have a new toaster/convection/rotisserie oven that I am still getting used to, so I am a bit limited at this point. Never had a convection one before, and it is taking me a bit of time to learn how to use it.
re: danhole
Yes...I scrub them, pierce them and nuke them whole just long enough for them to heat thru & start the cooking process. I hold them with a pot holder as I cut the wedges. I also use Yukon Golds for this "recipe."
re: danhole
I cook my whole potatoes all the time in the micro to cook when I am pressed for time which is usually the case. Works wonders.
I make a perfect mashed potatoes with cream and a cheese cracker crumb topping. Not sure what to call it. I nuke red potatoes cut in quarters, cook until soft 5-7 minutes. I add some butter, sour cream, seasoning, s/p and thyme and a little chicken broth. Then spread in a toaster oven dish ... top with fresh cheese and then crunched up croutons, yep croutons mixed with some butter and bake. Cheesy potato bake. Amazing. I have even put ham in this from a left over baked ham and dinner.
Now when I have time, I make it all from scratch, but sometimes we just don't have time do we. This is the express version.
re: A Ron
Yeah, TO quesadillas rock. As do TO grilled cheese sandwiches and cheese toast. Bruschetta is another good TO thing; slice, oil, & toast the bread, then top with a little chevre, tomato, and basil. I also use the TO to cook homemade meat pies/empanadas (frozen or fresh). From my sister, I learned that the TO is perfect for reheating leftover fried stuff (fish, chicken, onion rings)--the proximity to the heating elements re-crisps the fried coating, which tends to get soggy if microwaved.
re: Hungry Celeste
And even further enhancement of the TO is to keep a pizza stone in there!
Makes all the difference in the world!
Pampered Chef makes a Small Bar Pan that is small enough for a TO.
The Medium Bar Pan is usually just an inch too big, but if you have an unusually large TO, it might work.
In fact, if you have an unusually large TO, I 'd love to know which brand & model you have.
re: Melanie Wong
I looked at all the links, but what temperature do you cook it at? And about how long? I would love to try this. Do you think it will be fine in a convection/toaster oven?
re: danhole
My mother probably does it at 350 degrees. A meat thermometer is your friend to gauge how long. Be sure to give it some time out of the fridge before starting to cook so that the meat isn't icy cold and you'll get a better result. Cooking times will vary if you use the convection setting.
I don't know that it's very CH but one of our toaster oven faves is Tuna melts.
Toast english muffins, mix up your fave tuna salad (I use tzatziki instead of mayo), set TO to broil spread tuna salad on english muffin halves, top each with a thin slice of cheddar and a slice of roma tomato. Broil until cheese is either bubbly or slightly browned (5-10min) depending on how you like your cheese.
Wonderful comfort food for a cold day.
re: maplesugar
Tzatziki instead of mayo in tuna salad sounds delicious! I don't like mayo, so I'm always looking for alternatives, and I hadn't thought of this one. Sounds very CH to me!
My contribution to toaster oven cuisine is apple crisp. Thinly slice an apple, toss with a little sugar (or maple syrup) and cinnamon (or spice of your choice -- I like cardamom). Put the spiced apple slices in a couple of small ramekins (they cook faster -- you can have two, they're small ;-) ), top with some breadcrumbs or oatmeal and dot with a little butter, and bake for 5-10 minutes (depending on your oven). I can even do this in my tiny (just barely holds two 6-oz ramekins), cheap toaster oven from Walgreens!
re: Ruth Lafler
Growing up, Mom always put diced pickles in the tuna salad with mayo... I tried tzatziki because it had dill and thought the yogurt would make a lower fat alternative to mayo. The tuna salad w tzatziki definitely isn't as thick as the type made with mayo but I like it(and so does my scale hehe).
Your toaster oven apple crisp sounds delicious. I just might have to make it for dinner tonight; coincidentally I was just searching epicurious for new takes on apple desserts. I'm thinking I might add cranberries to the apples...since they're so plentiful this time of year. :)
re: maplesugar
Oh, tuna melts rock ... sorry, they are classic.
re: soupkitten
College ... that brings back memories. I think I was the only person who cooked on my floor. I was always making sandwiches for half the people who lived in my dorm.
I made small meatpies, cresent rolls or pizza crust stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, onions, peppers, etc. And fruit pies which were a hit. Yes, canned fruit preserves. IT WAS college. Grilled hoagies. My skirt steak. Everyone loved it. I think flank back then, I did potatoes all ways ... Baked mac and cheese ... and used my single burner to boil the pasta. All kinds of fries, burgers were a hit so was the wierd chicken dish I made with this cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken, broccoli and small red potatoes and onions ... I know odd, but honestly it wasn't bad. I guess in college you need to be creative and cheap!!
re: soupkitten
In the 1-1/2" deep TO size baking pan, I spread an 8ox container of store-bought seafood stuffing (the cracker-based kind). Lay tilapia or other thin fish fillets over the stuffing, covering it. If you overlap a little, you can fit up to 3/4# fish. Top this with a cup or more of julienned/fine-diced veggies (carrot, scallion, zucchini, summer squash, red bell pepper is a typical mix)) that have been mixed with 4oz or so of teriyaki marinade. Bake at 375 for 25-30 min - the sauce will be thick around the corners of the stuffing.
check this out, someone turned me on to this chef/website of only toaster oven recipes and great ones too:
re: lexpatti
That is a link to Eric Ripert's Toaster Oven web site. Cuisinart paid him to create a series of educational videos using the Toaster Oven. Nice set of recipes for two people. Well worth spending some time viewing, if only to see/hear him speak!
Salmon comes out juicy and flavorful in a toaster oven with no mess.
Small batch of cookies
Mini pizzas
Any hot appetizer
I have a set of oven proof pans (glass) that are made for using in toaster ovens. So if I'm going to make several side dishes or reheat leftovers I can store & serve in them.
I use my toaster oven as often as the big gas guy. It's a great kitchen tool! In my college days I would have gone weeks without good food if it weren't for a toaster oven (& blender).
Seafood skewers are also easy, shrimp and scallops. Easier than a grill, still work pretty good. If I don't want to heat up my grill just four a few skewers I use that.
My version of a cheesesteak sandwich. Slice an onion, saute briefly, and pile on a crusty bun. I use (gasp) Steak-Ums; they fry up in about 30 seconds. Put some shredded cheese on top of the meat and onions, and slip under the broiler in your TO. I put a little BBQ sauce on it; yum!
Nordicware has a neat nonstick toaster oven set. A roasting pan ~2" deep with a sheet pan that nests on top of the roaster & a little rack that works in either pan. I make mini casseroles in the roaster pan (like classic tuna, lasagne, enchiladas, ratatouille).4 generous portions! For lasagne, I layer farfalle, not lasagne noodles. Also because the sheet pan nests, it's a good enough lid to bake pilau or quinoa in the roaster while broiling a thin fish filet or a cutlet on top. Roasts for one like in the original article, are a natural.
You know ready made graham cracker crusts? they also come in mini size (about 1/4 cup filling capacity) in their own foil pans. I save them for mini fruit & pot pies.
I think the pans have a Silverstone-type coating; whatever it is, tuna melts & mini pies are super easy to clean up after. It's been over 2 years of steady use and they've only got 2 scratches and crusted cheese & juice still pop off like a dream.
My toaster oven is pretty large, you can put 7X11 dish in it. My favorite is to cook bacon, can cook 4-6 pieces @ 400 for 16-17 min (thick sliced bacon). No mess, as I stick small pan in dishwasher!
I do biscotti very successfully in the toaster oven! http://quipstravailsandbraisedoxtails...

Moved the blog.
Hello all, just wanted to let you know that the blog now lives at thesnowdrifter.com. Should be attending the US Open this year again so keep an eye out.
Rumor has it that Loveland got 17" last night!! Holy!
Get some!
Flosstradamus' Underground Nights tour hit the Denver area by storm. Finally being able to hear Flosstradamus at a small venue with an amazing sound system was an experience of a lifetime.
I have seen over 50 shows at one of the greatest venues in the Denver metro area (Beta nightclub) and have never seen such a live audience as this one particular night. The Funktion One Sound System laced with 808's and snares keep my ears ringing into the next day. I had the honor of meeting the duo at the end of the night and I have to admit for all their fame and ability to truly lead the trap scene they are pretty humble guys.

Pictures to follow.
Five people were found dead in an avalanche Saturday in Colorado's White River National Forest, about 50 miles west of Denver, sheriff's officials said.
With the abundance of late season snow, Colorado riders are getting another weekend to shred. Snowing out there now. Get some!
My buddy Jacob headed out to Trapfest in Denver at City Hall Event Center on March 17. He was super stoked and had his cell phone to document. The pics are a little late getting up on the site, but check em. (Photos by: InfamousNez)
If you not gonna start somewhere ya ain't going to get nowhere.
So here's the deal. Most of us have seen The Art of Flight snowboard flick that Travis Rice helped produce. It's pretty epic and I think that we can agree that it's pushing the boundaries of snowboard film-making.
Recently, my family and I decided to abandon traditional TV and just go with a simple digital antennae and a Netflix membership. What I didn't realize is that as a result I would find a series dedicated to filling in the gaps to the second most epic snowboard flick ever, The Art of Flight (I still think the championship title is held by That's It That's All).
Anyway, if you have Netflix check it out. It's a seven part series and it makes one of the sickest videos even more sick. The behind the scenes stuff puts what the Brainfarm crew is doing into perspective and makes you realize that these guys really are no f'n joke at all.
Amazing footy and worth a gander. Check it out.
Watching 180* south. The freedom of uncertainty. There's more to life than 9-5. Possessions enslave. Man destroys. Men create. Where, when did we go wrong. Suffering. Every man bears his own cross.
We all have the choice. We wake in the morning and our habits script the day. Do we continue to make the same mistakes? Can we redefine ourselves? We must.

Bright Days for Cauliflower Lovers
A new cauliflower hybrid named Citrus is not only orange but packs 25 times the vitamin A of its white-headed forefather.

Reach for the sunglasses: Cauliflower has gone orange.
A new cauliflower hybrid named Citrus is not only orange but packs 25 times the vitamin A of its white-headed forefather.
Actually, it appears more yellowish-orange than orange, but it's a garden freak either way. Supposedly it also fares better with warm temperatures, normally the kiss of death for white cauliflower.
Since we weren't eating the recommended daily servings of vegetables anyway, hybridizers have been altering nature's color palette. Even dedicated cauliflower haters might find the orange version tastier.
Restaurant chefs love the injection of color, and home gardeners can't resist something new and bright for the vegetable plot. Plants that are both edible and ornamental are valuable additions to the space-crunched garden areas of today's new-home developments.
Bright Lights, a Swiss chard with yellow, red, white and magenta stalks, was a huge marketing success after it earned prestigious All-American Selection honors in 1998. The rainbow-colored vegetable became irresistible and is often grown strictly as an ornamental.
The recent rebirth of interest in colorful heirloom tomatoes and the ongoing love affair with multi-colored hybrid sweet pepper varieties has been fueled in part because they taste good.
Crucifers, such as cauliflower and broccoli, have been more avoided than ingested. Adding color to its low-carb reputation may yet elevate cauliflower's popularity.
Johnny's Selected Seeds in Winslow, Maine, quickly sold out of a limited supply of Citrus cauliflower this spring. However, it also sells purple cauliflower (Graffiti) and a purple "broccoflower" named Violet Queen. Broccoflower is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower.
Green, the color of broccoli, is also the color of cauliflower varieties Panther and Tower. Tower, a lime green, also has sold out at Johnny's Selected Seeds.
A purple variety of asparagus called Purple Passion is another on the color chart at Johnny's. The spears are purple in the garden. Once cooked, they turn traditional green. Johnny's also sells Kinbi, a yellow carrot.
Orange Sunshine, a watermelon with orange flesh, and Sweet Sunshine, a bright yellow carrot, are both being offered in this year's Burpee catalog. Park Seed Co. is selling an ornamental corn called Earth Tones. Ears are a rainbow of color, blue, pink, green, yellow, lavender and rose.
Today there's no excuse for a dull vegetable garden.

Sporting Kansas City defeated the Montreal Impact just two short weeks ago on April 26th at Sporting Park in Kansas City 4-0 and Saturday they continued their run of form and dominance over Montreal with a 3-0 win to improve the season series to 2-0 Sporting. Sporting and Montreal are set to meet one more time this season on July 12th in Montreal.
Sporting played their first of a tough stretch of three games in eight days Saturday against the Montreal Impact in Montreal, Quebec.
In the 17th minute Matt Besler threw a long ball into the box that bounced around and found the hand of Montreal Midfielder Collen Warner right in front of goal, the match official called for a penalty and Warner was sent off with a red card.
Dom Dwyer stepped over the ball and sent it to the right side of the keeper and in to the back of the net to convert the penalty and give Sporting the 1-0 lead in the 18th minute.
Sporting added to their lead in the 34th minute when Chance Myers sent in a low cross that rolled through to the far post and found Paulo Nagamura who used his right foot to put a shot on target that took a deflection and bounced into goal to give the visitors the 2-0 lead before half-time.
That goal was Nagamura's first goal for the club since September 1st, 2012 and only his 11th in his MLS career.
Sporting added the dagger in the 64th minute when Antonio Dovale slipped a through ball to Dwyer just inside the penalty box and Dwyer slotted it just past the keeper to earn his second goal of the game and second brace in as many games this season against Montreal to go up 3-0 on the day.
The game would finish 3-0 giving Eric Kronberg his 5th shutout on the season.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZI7DVLFCS8?rel=0]
Sporting Midfielder Orioll Rosell completed 160 of his 166 passes setting a record for both passes completed and completion percentage in an MLS game since Opta began recording MLS stats in 2011.
Sporting Kansas City as a team also set the record for passes completed with 739 of 803 passes completed. Sporting fell just shy of the completion percentage record with 92.03% trailing only the Houston Dynamo mark of 92.96 % which they set in 2012. Sporting finished with 78.18% of the possession Saturday which is also a new league record.
Sporting coach Peter Vermes had this to say about his teams performance
I thought we did a tremendous job of being patient, having purpose to our build up with the ball in our possession and at the same time we stayed very disciplined and organized at the back to not give them anything. That's not easy, so it was a tremendous performance even though we were up a man.
Sporting Kansas City will try to carry that momentum into Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Union. Sporting Defender Matt Besler and Midfielder Graham Zusi will play their final game for the club on Wednesday before joining the USMNT to prepare for the World Cup.

Autodesk has brought AutoCAD 2011 for Mac OS X to its Education Community, offering teachers and students about 90 percent off the full commercial version. The standard education edition of AutoCAD 2011 for Mac, which also began shipping this month, will continue to be free for education users.
A company that specializes in technology for doing video search has taken its product to the cloud. ReelSurfer has begun showing its Cloud Video Search Platform, which consists of multiple tools that enable users to search for targeted dialog segments within a larger video and to create clips for easy distribution online.
Teachers have free access to virtual field trips and other digital educational resources through Meet Me at the Corner, a repository of educational videos that's moderated to ensure relevance and educational value. It also helps train kids to produce their own video podcasts and create documentaries they can share with their peers around the world.
After years of failing to engage the majority of students, music instructors may finally have a solution: digital technologies that focus on creating music rather than performing it.
Four projects highlighting the convergence of technology and instruction demonstrate the power of an educator with a vision—and the nerve to carry it out.

text: You can of course actually search Google and turn up items under "stupid reference questions". http://librarianintheraw.blogspot.com/2007/05/stupid-reference-questions.html http://www.unshelved.com/archive.aspx?strip=20080725 There's also a book called The Truth About Reference Librarians by Will Manley. Synopsis Did you know that the first question ever asked of a reference librarian was "Where's the bathroom?" Or that the very first reference book was the Egyptian Farmer's Almanac? Do you know how reference librarians rid themselves of such pests as the Jerkus disgustis, Pervertus horribilis or the Studentus moronis? If you answered no to any of the above, then The Truth About Reference Librarians may so far have eluded you. Will Manley and Richard Lee are at it again. This time it's a reverent if probing tour of the not so pretty world of reference librarians, yielding such invaluable results as information on the ten stages in life of a reference librarian (1. I want to help humanity; 2. I want to help a few worthy people; 3. At least I'm getting paid for this madness...), instructions of the care and feeding of reference librarians, and a list of some of the oddest actual questions ever put to reference librarians.

David's House, Inc. Overview
Profile ( less )
461 Mt Support Rd
New Hampshire 03766
Target demographics: Although most of the families who stay with us reside in New Hampshire and Vermont, we have had families from a total of 42 states and 23 countries visit at least once.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Close to 100 unique families utilize the house every year.
Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Serve as a hospitality assistant welcoming guests to the house
Assist with a special event
Provide administrative support
Programs: Since it opened in 1986, David's House has been a home-away-from-home for over 11,000 families with children being treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. About 67% are from New Hampshire, about 20% from Vermont, and the rest are from 36 states and 15 countries. David's House has served families from as far away as Russia, Bolivia, and Indonesia. The average length of stay is four nights. The children whose families stay here are treated for everything from premature birth and cancer to cystic fibrosis and sports injuries. David's House helps these families stay close to their children during a critical time of need.
David's House is fully handicapped accesible. It has 15 comfortable bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a good supply of books and toys, and plenty of indoor and outdoor play space.
Two country kitchens enable guests to store and prepare their own food. Breakfast foods are provided, and community groups cook family-style suppers for guests several nights each month.
David's House has four five-time and two part-time staff, two resident managers and over 200 volunteers who help by being house assistants, serving on committees, and working on special events and other projects.
David's House has a close working relationship with Children's Hospital at Dartmouth and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, but it is independently funded. The suggested nightly donation is $20 per family per night, but no family is turned away due to inability to pay. Room revenues cover only about 10% of expenses. Gifts from individuals, businesses, and foundations make up the rest. Through this generous support we are able to continue to keep David's dream alive by bring his friends in treatement at the hospital, home to his house.

Topics: Insurance, Politics, Health Reform
Jul 26, 2013
The Obama administration is enlisting help in educating the public about the health law from a range of sources -- female bloggers, a comedy website and even the Washington Nationals' presidential mascot.
The Associated Press/Washington Post: Health Secretary Sebelius Urges Female Bloggers To Educate Public About Health Law Benefits
President Barack Obama's administration is courting female bloggers to play a role in a massive campaign aimed at informing the public about the benefits of the new health care law. Over breakfast at a blogging conference Thursday in Chicago, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius asked a banquet hall full of bloggers -- most of them women -- to help spread the word about new health insurance opportunities that begin this fall under the Affordable Care Act (7/25).
The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire: HHS Drafts Teddy Roosevelt To Promote Obamacare
The Obama administration hasn't found much support among the GOP for promoting health insurance this fall, but they have won over at least one Republican: Teddy Roosevelt. The long-suffering presidential mascot for the Washington Nationals baseball team starred in a video promo last night with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to promote Obamacare. The video aired before the Nationals game last night with the Pittsburgh Pirates (Schatz, 7/24).
The Hill: Comedy Site Eager To Promote ObamaCare
Writers at the popular comedy website Funny or Die are already busy coming up with ideas to spread the word about Obamacare. Mike Farah, the site's president of production, was among the entertainment industry figures who met earlier this week with President Obama and his administration about ways to encourage young people to buy health insurance (Baker, 7/25).

Studies in Poetry
Studies in Poetry helps us to understand about the poets, their thoughts, views, writing styles, creative thoughts, etc which will helps to improve one's writing, creative thinking and presentation skills on literature and compositions. A study on a poem starts with analyzing and understanding the poem which gives the "pleasant experience" to the reader. Epic, Dramatic, Satirical, Lyric, Narrative, verse, prose are some of the forms of Genres, the tradition or classification of poetry.
The reader should read the poem repeatedly as a first step to study a poem. A poem should be carefully read since it may be in a complex form and multifaceted ideas. The initial steps to be followed in the Studies in Poetry are:
Poetries are the outcomes of creative thoughts and imagination. When a reader read the lines of the poem the reading is accompanied with visualizations in the mind of the reader when he responds to the words and thoughts of the poem. These are called the mental picture or representation or imaginations or visual imagery. Metaphors in poems are defined as a comparison without the usage of the words such as "like" and "as".
Poems are the excellent creations of poets and they record the feeling, thoughts, imaginations, emotions and various states of mind. They belong to a specific period of time and generation. These valuable creations of poets are preserved by subsequent generations. Ironies are used in poems when the poet wants to differentiate the literal sense of a word and their implication. Paradox is a key element used in poetry to give a significant meaning to a word than its literal or the surface meaning. Rhythms are the elements of poems, a method of arranging stresses or syllables into regularly repeated patterns. Meters are the rhythmic structure of words, lines and verses which may be formal or informal. The poetic concepts, Rhyme, alliteration, assonance are used to create repeated patterns of syllables. Ottava rima and Terza Rima are some of the Rhyming Schemes found in poems. Using lines and stanzas, Dictation is some of the presentation methods of poems. Sonnet, Sestina, Villanelle, Haiku, Sijo, Ode, Ghazal, Acrostic, etc are some of the Forms found in poems of various countries.
Studies on Poetry focus on understanding the approach of the poet and the thoughts. For a Poet, he has his/her own "experience" with the poem and it is unique. A poet succeeds in, communicating his "experience" by the efficient writing or presentation which can guide each of the reader to feel the real "experience".

Ask Stacy: How Can I Clean Up My Credit History?
This member of the military wants to know if he should contact old creditors to see if they'll remove bad marks from his credit history. Is it possible?
Here's a little bit about me, my background, what I do and why I do it.
I'm a 50-something married guy (no kids) living in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the yachting capital of the world.
I live in a middle-class house on a canal off the intracoastal waterway and have a boat (1985 Bertram) behind my house. I love riding motorcycles (Softail Custom) sailing, fishing, traveling and laughing out loud as often as possible.
As far as credentials go, I earned my CPA in 1981 (now inactive), and over the years have also been licensed in stocks, commodities, options principal, mutual funds, life insurance, securities supervisor and real estate. I spent 10 years working for three Wall Street firms and have been investing in stocks and real estate for more than 35 years.
In 1991, I started Money Talks News, a personal finance TV news feature that airs within the local news of about 80 network affiliates nationwide as well as on major websites including MSN, Yahoo, and of course, this one!
I've now written and produced more than 3,000 personal finance news stories, picked up a couple of Emmys and written a few books, including what I modestly consider to be the best how-to-get-out-of-debt book in the universe, Life or Debt.
While I'm not rich in the Palm Beach/Central Park West sense, I'm financially independent -- meaning I work because I want to and not because I have to. I didn't get here by selling books, tapes or seminars. I did it the same way you will: one hard-fought paycheck at a time. Read More.
This member of the military wants to know if he should contact old creditors to see if they'll remove bad marks from his credit history. Is it possible?
A look at five interesting personal finance posts from other bloggers around the Web.
This reader took out a low fixed-rate loan from Chase Bank only to see her minimum payments more than double. What can she do?
With the unemployment rate stuck at more than 8 percent, Democrats say we need more time, more training, and more stimulus. Republicans say we need less regulation and a guy in the White House who knows how to create jobs. They're both wrong.
Since taxes are complicated, you may think a pro is always the way to go. But if they're not used properly, you're wasting your money.
In this week's column, one reader is having trouble making ends meet and another provides some insight and inspiration that might help.

A Port Barre supermarket caught fire earlier this morning. Fire officials responded to Bourque's in the 500 block of Saizon Avenue. The fire was contained to only the back of the store. No one was injured, and the store did not suffer major damage. Fire officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Walking around Art Basel, this weekend I came across a few pieces in the Scope show that looked pretty familiar. I recognized my photography in two of them and the third was a copy of my good friend Marie Killen's photo. When i got home a quick google search reveled that nearly his entire body of work was comprised of other peoples photography. No credits were given, though that wouldn't have put the artist in the clear. Josafat Miranda hadn't bothered to change the composition or content in any appreciable way, even though that too would not have put him in the clear.
For me, photography was a hobby, something i did for fun. But it was art. These weren't candids, they were carefully composed, edited photos. The model traveled, did her makeup and helped style the shoot. Put simply, it was a collaborative artistic endeavor by me and the model Tracy P.
Marie Killen is a wildly talented photographer living in North Carolina. Photography is her passion and craft and she does it extremely well. In my opinion she's one of the best photographers in her genre. Her shoots require far more work and planning than mine ever did. She's developed, through hard work and practice, a recognizable style.
What Josafat Miranda has done here reveals a total disrespect for photography as an art form. He's quickly and with very little creative alteration, harvested the yield of someone else's hard work. What makes a painting strong, isn't just the brush strokes and the rendering method, more, much more, than that is the composition, the subject matter and the hundreds of creative decisions that go into making an original piece of art.

Things celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe said in the preview of her new reality TV show "The Rachel Zoe Project" that aren't necessarily worth hearing, but totally worth repeating:
"I could die."
"That's bananas amazing."
"I'd die."
"It's, like, bananas."
"Baby I shopped. It's not like I committed a crime. It was, like, a small fashion crime."
"You do kind of look like you forgot your pants."
Watch it again Tuesday, 10 p.m., on Bravo, Channel 83. And then tell me what you think and if your opinion of the celebrity stylist has changed.

Articles by Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati
By His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura: The slightest tendency to find faults in others is completely absent in Srila Gurudeva. At the same time, his sole function is to kindly point out our hundreds and thousands of faults, which are the cause of our misfortune. May we not lose sight of this quality of Srila Gurudeva. Continue reading
By His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saravati: The positive method by itself is not the most effective method of propaganda in a controversial age like the present. The negative method which seeks to differentiate the truth from non-truth in all its forms, is even better calculated to convey the directly inconceivable significance of the absolute. It is a necessity which cannot be conscientiously avoided by the dedicated preacher of the truth if he wants to be a loyal servant of Godhead. Continue reading
By Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura: If the preliminary practices of devotional service (sadhana) are neglected, then the awakening of ecstatic emotions (bhava) can never occur. Even one who has attained realization of spontaneous devotional service (raganuga-bhakti) should never give up practicing the regulative principles of devotional service. Continue reading

Create a transparent local software update server
I appreciate all your comments, although I must say only few people understand my solution so I will emphasise what matters this time again:
This doesn't require any modifications on clients.
Most of the solutions suggested were already described in many places, for example here at macosxhints: 10.4: Manually add a Tiger Software Update Server
I agree that using e.g.
Yes, this is actually a DNS hack, but what I like is that the setup is very simple. Just the server, one
Brilliant!... 10.6 Server update:
OK, I have this up and running on 10.6.1 server now...
Brilliant!... 10.6 Server update:
Truly a great hack, thanks for that. Thought I would add that I have it up and running on Server 10.5.8, and it's happily serving updates to clients using 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 (haven't tested older ones).
Brilliant!... 10.6 Server update:
Alright, I now also have 10.5.8 Server sending out updates to Lion clients!
to mirror-config-1.plist
Left it for 24 hours to download updates and propagate the catalogs, then redirected
Thanks again to the original poster for the great tip!

Quality Assessment
As part of the University of New Mexico Executive Management's commitment to quality, in April 2004, The Institute of Internal Auditors conducted a Quality Assessment of the Internal Audit Department. Executive Management is committed to implementing the recommendations contained in The Institute of Internal Auditors Quality Assessment Report.
In December, 2012, the Internal Audit Department completed a 2012 Self-Assessment with External Independent Validation. This was approved by the Board of Regents' Audit Committee in March, 2013.

As the oldest of seven children of poor Mexican immigrants, Antonia Hernández always knew she wanted to dedicate her life to helping those less fortunate. Even before she could drive, she would walk the picket lines in support of California's farm workers.
Then she spent two decades working to protect the rights of the nation's 35 million Latinos: as president and chief counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) from 1985 to 2003, she worked to create voting districts that equitably represented Latinos, opposed the nominations of federal judges with poor civil-rights records, and successfully defeated a California state measure that would have denied health and education benefits to undocumented immigrants.
"I'm a do-gooder," acknowledges Hernández."What I truly want is for every person to have the opportunity to fulfill his or her potential." Today, as the new president and CEO of the California Community Foundation, the nation's ninth-largest community foundation, overseeing more than $650 million in assets, her role is to marry the resources of generous donors with causes such as health and education. While the focus has narrowed, the overall goal is the same: to improve the lives of poor people.
"Being able to create an opportunity for people of wealth to share their resources with those in need is wonderful," Hernández says. "We're creating a community in which we're all interdependent. It's what makes this country so great."

Education: a degree, level, or kind of schooling. Education is a big part of the politics and topics of today. It is more important than most anybody thinks. The sacrifices that villagers like Haji Ali made for their children's education had a bigger impact than any American bomb ever would. Mortenson's schools were built solely on love for the children, and the education received from these schools set the Pakistani youth free in ways they could have never dreamed of.

The citizens of the United States don't understand how important it truly is to be able to have an education some see it as prison. The people of Pakistan see it as a blessing and a right to receive an...
