Firefighter Challenge
We invite all firefighters to participate in our Firefighter Challenge, in honor of all those who have served and protected our city. Create a team of firefighters and compete together. Your participation helps fund clean air and tobacco control advocacy efforts at the local, state and national level; asthma education for families and schools; smoking prevention and cessation services; and research to treat, prevent and cure lung diseases.
Register today!
A $35 (non-transferable and non-refundable) registration fee is required for each participant, and there is an additional $100 minimum fundraising requirement per person that is due by the date of the event in order
to participate. The money raised will support the American Lung Association in our mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
Rules & Regulations
In the best interest of competition and to make this event as fair as possible, the following guidelines have been established. In order to qualify, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
- TEAM - You must have at least 5 members to qualify for the Fastest Fire Department Team award. Members do not have to be from the same department. Example: a team may consist of five members from five different departments.
- PPE - Must be structural firefighting gear adhering to NFPA 1971. Both coat and bunker pants MUST have the liner in place. Failure to have a liner will result in your time not being counted toward the Firefighter Division awards. Bunker pants must be worn. 3/4 coats are permissible.
- BOOTS - All boots must be structural firefighting boots. Rubber, leather & lace up boots will be permitted, provided they are fire rated. No station boots will be permitted when qualifying for the trophy. Again, boots must be structural firefighting boots.
- GLOVES - Gloves are optional. They do not directly affect the outcome of the race.
- HELMET & HOOD – Firefighter helmets are mandatory, hoods are optional.
- AIR TANK - An air tank must be worn the entire climb in order to qualify your time for the Firefighter-specific awards. It is recommended that they be full, though this will not be policed. Unfortunately, due to the various sizes, capacities, makes and department standards there will be no official size or weight set for the air tank. Therefore the only requirement is that one be worn for the entire climb.
- MASK - Masks are required. Times will be counted whether you are on air or not. If you are not on air, then the mask does NOT need to be worn on your face, but you need to have it attached to your uniform.
- UNDERLAYERS – Optional, but it is recommended that some sort of clothing be worn.
- TOOLS - WILL NOT BE ALLOWED (i.e., axe, halligan, pike pole, etc.)
- EMS - Any EMS team is more than welcome in the Firefighter Challenge provided they meet the above requirements.
Start times for Fire Department teams will be assigned based on the order that the team was created. Team members will be given consecutive start times. If a team needs to be divided up and not start one right after the other, please contact the Event Manager at least two weeks before the climb. Start times for Firefighters who are climbing as individuals and not with a team will be assigned based on order of registration
These categories are the mandatory requirements to qualify for the Fastest Individual Firefighter awards and the Fastest Fire Department Team award ONLY. It is the intent of these guidelines to ensure fairness
within the competition. These guidelines will be monitored on an honor system. If a complaint is filed with the Event Manager, it will be investigated. If it is deemed that an infraction has occurred, that competitor's time will be removed from the overall individual and team's qualifying time.

John Luskey has lived a life full of music, full of entertainment.
The earliest performances came from his father, John, who would return home from working a shift as a Prince George's County police officer while Luskey's mother, Mary was making breakfast for the kids.
"My father would sing to her, make up songs," said Luskey, who lives in Welcome. "I was watching him. My mother would smile. I realized that girls like it when guys sing."
Luskey, who grew up taking piano lessons from his grandmother, Lucille Harris, soon was picking up the violin, clarinet, French horn, and when he was about 12, he stumbled upon his father's old guitar collecting dust in the attic.
He started playing and landed in his first band when he was 14. It was with a bunch of older guys, and he thinks they called themselves Anonymous. What he does remember is his fellow band members taught him the ropes of being in a group, the stage etiquette, the way to play for a crowd.
It wasn't until high school when he and his friend Buster Morgenstern, a singer, worked out a trade. Luskey would teach him guitar if Morgenstern would give him singing lessons.
Soon, Luskey, Morgenstern and their buddy, Ronnie Smith, a keyboardist, would walk the hallways of Surrattsville High School and burst out into three-part harmony. (Luskey would go on to be in bands with Smith and Morgenstern, such as His Boy Elroy and Midnight Special.)
Nearing graduation and being a member of rock bands, Luskey, influenced by Billy Joel, James Taylor and hair band stalwarts Van Halen and Bon Jovi, was preparing for his close-up.
"From the time I was a teenager up to my early 20s, I knew I was going to be a rock star," Luskey said. "I mean, what else could I be?"
His more levelheaded parents suggested he go to college, just in case Rolling Stone didn't come calling for a cover story.
Luskey knew that he would have to move to music meccas such as New York, Nashville, Tenn., or Los Angeles to be noticed and submerge himself in the industry in hopes of making the connections he needed to succeed.
Instead, he started working in radiology at Children's National Medical Center and played gigs on the side.
He worked five days a week and played music five nights a week. He later started working in the information technology department at Children's before deciding he wanted to give music a solid go.
He got bass player Jack Bannister and drummer Dwayne Taylor to commit to be in his band — the John Luskey Band, and when Taylor's then-girlfriend, now wife, Maggie, heard some of Luskey's original songs, she suggested he ditch rock music and focus on writing and performing country tunes.
Rock songs are more about symbolism, Luskey said.
Country songs are narratives.
"It's a novel in three minutes, 30 seconds," he said.
Anything can inspire him, he said — his dog, his brother Dan, his girlfriend Brandi Duffield and her daughter Bailey, 12.
A long drive home from Florida to Maryland, with the tires beating rhythmically on the concrete of Interstate 95 brought about "Lord Willing," a song about getting home, one that was scribbled on the back of a Taco Bell napkin.
Other tunes spring fully formed from his mind, such as his Billboard award-winning "King of the World," a song that came together in about 30 minutes.
Another song, "When She Cries," also won a Billboard award.
Pretty prestigious gigs started coming in quickly for the band.
They were opening for country singers Trace Adkins, Travis Tritt, Gretchen Wilson and Kenny Chesney.
They performed all over the country and the world, places such as Moscow, Beijing and Brazil.
But Luskey knew the industry worships youth with the coveted consumer demographic being people 14 to 30, he said.
He works a "real job" in cybersecurity but is determined to stay in the music industry.
Armed with his song-writing skills, he and some other musicians — Pink's guitarist Justin Derrico, Bush's bassist Corey Britz and Bill Appleberry, a producer for "The Voice," formed The Farm, a group that writes and pitches songs in Nashville, hopefully catching the ear of an established performer.
The group's name comes with its own tag line.
"Our songs grow on you," Luskey said.
While he is focusing on writing, he will not be giving up performing anytime soon.
The John Luskey Band, joined by Smith on keyboards, Morgenstern on acoustic guitar and Ricky Simpkins on fiddle, will open for Lynyrd Skynyrd on Saturday at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va., for the 10th annual American Freedom Foundation benefit concert.
"We were looking for someone to represent the [Washington,] D.C., and Virginia community who had a following," said Ted Hacker, co-founder of the American Freedom Foundation. "[The band] has played many times over the past few years in the area and was highly recommended as a performer with a high-energy show who would be a great complement to Skynyrd."
Luskey is excited about performing for a band he grew up blasting in his speakers when he was a long-haired kid.
"We're talking about a legend," he said of Syknyrd. "How many shows have I played at least two of their songs a night? And to open for them in a freakin' indoor arena? I'm one of the luckiest guys in the whole wide world."
Lynyrd Skynyrd, a band built on a Southern rock sound is a bridge between country music and rock 'n' roll, Luskey said.
"I guess that's a bridge I've walked across," he said.

For those who didn't make it out to North Hagerstown High School for the Roundball Classic and the Mid-Atlantic Showcase, here's an indicator of how it generally went: the first disrupted alley-oop came in the second half, and it was disrupted not from a defender stepping into the lane but from two teammates trying to dunk the same lob.
In what became the highest scoring game of the day, the Mid-Atlantic Showcase was the paragon of a stereotypical All-Star game, an entertainment-first, fundamental-second ode to Dunk City.
"That's what we were saying," Bullis point guard Anthony Thompson said. "That was the only way people were trying to score."
Acceptable forms of scoring included dunks, alley-oops, 25-foot 3-pointers (for the smaller guys such as Thompson or Georgetown Prep's Billah Abdul-Jalaal) or tip-dunks. The defense put on display throughout could be described as matadorish, with the occasional go at a big block.
That's generally how All-Star games go, and Saturday's 11:30 a.m. to near midnight festival was no exception. All in all, seven games were played — five boys, two girls — that included 94 athletes from The Gazette's coverage area.
Even Nigel Johnson, Riverdale Baptist's star point guard and the Prince George's Player of the Year who played on one of the area's most talented teams, marveled a little about the level of play and the preposterous scoring that resulted from it (his game finished 126-100).
"It was good, playing with these guys," said Johnson, who recently rescinded his verbal commitment to George Washington University. "I mean, that's why they're here — they're good."
Thomas Utt, Frederick County's lone representative in the Boys DMV Elite Game — was quick to note the stark differences between what he saw all year in county play and what he witnessed on Saturday.
"There was a lot of dunking. People were dunking everywhere," said Utt, who finished with 10 points. "We don't see that much dunking especially in Frederick County."
Some of the top performers from the day included Watkins Mills' Alex Sotomayor, who scored 15 points in a 103-86 win for the Chesapeake team in the Border War Elite Game. Linganore forward Seth Myers dropped 10 for the National team in the Potomac Valley Elite game. Johnson finished with 17 in the Mid-Atlantic Showcase while teammate Khary Doby — Riverdale had five in the game— chipped in 11. South Carroll's Gavin McTavish had six for the winning Charm City squad.
But the top performer of the day had to be Laurel's Aaron Brown, who scored 29 points and may have had the dunk of the day — which is truly saying something — in the nightcap. He beat a defender down the middle, took off just inside the free throw line and rocked it home.
The game was technically a showcase. A little show time, for one last time.

Hi, My Airco 250 AC DC Heliwelder V foot pedal control for arc intensity does not work. The arc is weak with minimum intensity and does not change in any foot pedal range. But if I switch to local control for the arc intensity/power setting then it works depends on where I set it. I actually burn off the tungsten tip on a high power trial.....the remote control/foot pedal for the arc ON/OFF works
Any help/suggestion to resolve this issue (what and where to look and to check) will be greatly appreciate and thanks in advance.

Check the rheostat within the foot pedal physically and then electrically with an Ohm meter. Then carefully check the cable between the pedal and the welder for breaks. Hope this helps.

Tennessee Tops ETSU Baseball 6-1
Wednesday, April 03, 2002Knoxville, Tenn. (Apr. 3, 2002) -Walter Sevilla went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple as the Tennessee Volunteers won their seventh consecutive non-conference game with a 6-1 victory over the East Tennessee State Buccaneers at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Brian St. Jean (2-1), who picked up the win in his second start, gave the Bucs their only run in the second when he issued four walks, the last coming with the bases loaded. He went on to work seven innings, giving up five hits while striking out five. The loss was the seventh consecutive for East Tennessee State which fell to 7-19. Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.) had two of the Bucs five hits. Tennessee (15-17) drew first blood in the bottom of the first as it grabbed a 2-0 lead on a Sevilla double that plated Nick Crowe who led off with a first-pitch single. Sevilla moved to third on a ground out and later scored on a passed ball. ETSU answered with its run in the top of the second. Bryan Crouse (Kingston, Tenn.) led off the inning by drawing a walk. Crouse moved to third on a sacrifice and a goundout before St. Jean had trouble finding the stike zone. He walked the next two Bucs to load the bases and then issued another free pass to Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) to force home Crouse with the Bucs' run. The Vols padded their lead to 4-1 in the sixth as Sevilla led off with a triple and scored on Matt Sternberg's sacrifice bunt. Hal Bibee, who also had two hits, then doubled over the center fielder's head and plated the fourth run on Chad LeGate's bloop single to right. Two more insurance runs in the eighth on a Dennis Gomez single and the second Buc error made the final 6-1. Matt Hensley (Powell, Tenn.) (0-2) took the loss as he was lifted after three innings. Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) was touched for two runs on four hits in 2 2/3 innings, while Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) tossed a scoreless 1 1/3 innings. Donnie Sharp (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) worked the eighth, giving up the final two runs.

A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat.
Naturally the doctor asks him what happened.
"Well it was like this", said the man." I was having a quiet round
of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole; we both sliced our *****
into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting
around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.
I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was a
golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the middle
of the cows butt.
" That's when I made my big mistake."
"What did you do?" asks the doctor.
"Well, I lifted the cows tail and yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this
looks like yours!'
I don't remember much after that."

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got
their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later,
Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,
"Kemo Sabe, look towards sky,....what you see?"
The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically
speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially
billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in
Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three
in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful
and we are but small and insignificant creatures. Meteorologically, it
seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What's it tell you, Tonto?"
Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabe, you dumber than
buffalo. Someone has stolen tent!"

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase in
plan that would become known as "Euro-English."
In the first year, "S" will replace the soft "C." Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "C" will be dropped in favour of "K." This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "PH" will be replaced with "F." This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always
ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "E" in the languag is
disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "TH" with
"Z" and "W" with "V."
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "O" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou"
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

One day, a bus full of horrendously ugly people was accidentally driven of a cliff. Everyone died.
In heaven, God yelled to them "I realize you have
been shunned by society when you were alive, so I will grant each of you
one wish!". The ugly people formed a big plan at the Pearly Gates, each of
them making a wish: to be pretty and handsome and suave.
One guy at the back started laughing. It started as a chuckle but began
increasing as the line progressed. When it was his turn, he was about to
fall on the floor.
When he finally got a breath out, he laughed " make 'em
all ugly again!"

A Blonde woman finds herself in dire trouble. Her business has gone bust and she's in serious financial trouble. She's so desperate that she decides to ask God for help.
She begins to pray... "God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the Lotto."
Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it.
The Blonde again prays ..."God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well."
Lotto night comes and still no luck. Once again, she prays..."My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order."
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and she is confronted by the voice of God Himself:
"Meet Me halfway on this Blondie, Please! "
" Buy a Ticket."

A letter to Southerners
I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will no longer serve the States of Georgia, Florida, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas on Christmas Eve.
Due to the overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. As part of the new and better contract I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies so keep that in mind.
However, I'm certain that your children will be in good hands with your local replacement, who happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus. His side of the family is from the South Pole. He shares my goal of delivering toys to all the good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences between us. Such as:
1. There is no danger of the Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: "These toys insured by Smith and Wesson."
2. Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave an RC cola and pork rinds on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff though, so please have an empty spit can handy.
3. Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer one time, and Blitzen's head now overlooks Bubba's fireplace.
4. You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.." when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead, you'll hear, "On Earnhardt, on Andretti, on Elliott and Petty."
5. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you also are likely to hear Bubba's elves respond, "I her'd dat!"
6. As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have a Yosemite Sam safety triangle on the back with the words "Back Off."
7. The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your negotiated viewing area. Instead, you'll see "Boss Hogg Saves Christmas" and "Smokey and the Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol cars crashing into each other.
And Finally,
8. Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd make sure you, the wife, and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put presents under the tree!!!!!
Sincerely Yours,
Santa Claus

Today's prescription sleeping pills don't carry the same level of risks of dependence and overdoses as sleeping pills of the past. But risks remain — especially for older adults, pregnant or breast-feeding women, and people with certain medical conditions, including liver or kidney disease.
The most common side effects with prescription sleeping pills are daytime drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, cognitive and motor impairment, and dependence. Long-term use may be habit-forming, and rebound insomnia may occur when medications are discontinued. Less common side effects include sleep-related behaviors, such as walking, driving and eating while not fully awake. Be sure to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
Here's a list of commonly prescribed sleeping pills and potential side effects:
To reduce your risk of side effects and of becoming dependent on drugs to promote sleep, your doctor likely will prescribe sleeping pills for two to four weeks. If you experience side effects, such as feeling groggy the next day, talk to your doctor about whether you need to change your dose or change medications. You may need to try more than one prescription sleeping pill before finding one that is right for you.

A lamp as precious as Murano glass, as irreverent as a rock opera: Bloom literally blooms in a scintillating and lavish crystal cascade. Bloom is a tubular polycarbonate framework entirely covered by a structure of tiny transparent polycarbonate double corolla flowers. The result is an industrially produced lamp but with all the forms and stylistic complexity of a unique handcrafted piece. A series of little lights located within the skeletal structure beams the light shafts through the petals to refract on their faceted surfaces and multiply a thousand reflections. Available in the elegant transparency of crystal, matte white or black and in a sexy mix of pink and black, Bloom is a new way of interpreting a traditional lamp with that special added touch. A work of art that can furnish and fill a room all by itself, creating that atmosphere of "shining splendor."

Indiana's Democratic Lawmakers Imitate Wisconsin, Flee State
Originally published on Tue February 22, 2011 2:30 pm
The Democratic "flu" (or should it be "flew?") is spreading.
The Indianapolis Star reports that Democrats in the Indiana state house have decamped the state to avoid voting on anti-union legislation just like their fellow Democrats in Wisconsin.
In Indiana, it's Democrats in the House whereas in Wisconsin it was Senate Democrats. The result is the same — stalling the legislative process.
From the Indy Star:
House Democrats are leaving the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation, The Indianapolis Star has learned.
A source said Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.
The House came into session this morning, with only two of the 40 Democrats present. Those two were needed to make a motion, and a seconding motion, for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don't do anything official without quorum.
As I'm sure others have pointed out, this is the kind of tactic that could come back to haunt Democrats elsewhere or even in the two states where it's already been deployed.
Obviously, Democrats control legislatures in a number of states where they could now be confronted with Republicans who choose to delay legislation or try to force further negotiations by similarly exiting their states enmasse.
In any event, whether it's Democrats or Republicans who use the tactic, it will ultimately be voters who decide whether or not they approve of this different sort of flight plan by either rewarding or punishing the lawmakers who resort to it.

I've been rooting for this girl for a good while, and now that she has her foot firmly planted in the Olympic door, I think that she deserves some GS lovin'.
So, fire away.
I've been rooting for this girl for a good while, and now that she has her foot firmly planted in the Olympic door, I think that she deserves some GS lovin'.
So, fire away.
Ah, I thought she already had a thread here
Zijun and Gracie, so far, are the only skaters that I'm actually looking forward to watch after Sochi(or 2013-2014 season). Now, if Gracie becomes more artistic and consistent, she's most likely to be dominating the next quad
I agree that the next quad is Gracie's to win (or lose, depending on how she handles it). Technically, she's too strong for any of the current younger ladies to surpass. All she needs is a greater connection to the music, and she's the US' most complete skater since Michelle. Gracie Gold for 2014 US champion! It would certainly give her a reputation boost headed into Sochi...
Gracie has had several huge threads on the Edge, but no one had started a fan page.
Two threads, referencing articles about Gracie
blue dog! Glad to see you back, and thanks for the link!
Go, Gracie! I hope she just gets better and better.
In the spirit of Champs Camp, I'm bringing this thread back into the spotlight!
Both Lynn Rutherford and the USFSA have posted backstage pictures of Gracie at the event. Her SP dress is really gorgeous -- a mostly black number with a sparkly, irregular white pattern over one shoulder.
She looks to be in excellent shape.
@USFigureSkating: https://twitter.com/usfigureskating/...40632520163328
@LynnRutherford: https://twitter.com/lynnrutherford/s...58248722796544
^Other than in color, not really. Yuna's dress had a collar, was covered in shiny geometric patterns, and was much sexier, IMO, than what Gracie is going for with Gershwin (jazzy and fun).
I liked the little barrett or whatever it was, engineered to match the SP dress A lovely performance, but I really miss the power of her jumps where they seemed to go half way across the rink. (But I do prefer she land them; Frank is doing a good job.)
I'm checking in and joining the Gracie Gold bandwagon. I became a Gold fan watching her compete the 2013 US Nats.
She is all around good and has a bit of "it factor". and yes, easy on the eyes. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Make it different
Swap the basil pesto for red or sun-dried tomato pesto.
Make it dairy-free
Omit the crème fraîche, replacing it with a few more spoonfuls of pesto instead.
- Cook the pasta in boiling water in a large non-stick saucepan according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and snip the bacon into bite-size pieces with scissors or a sharp knife.
- Reserve a few drops of the cooking water in a cup or bowl, then drain the pasta and set aside. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in the same pan until golden, about 5 mins. Keep the heat high so the mushrooms fry in the bacon fat, rather than sweat.
- Tip the pasta and reserved water back into the pan and stir over the heat for 1 min. Take the pan off the heat, spoon in the pesto and crème fraîche and most of the basil and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil to serve.

Comments, questions and tips
This one came out rather well! I just wish it hadn't tasted as similar to a bacon and mushroom risotto I made some time ago, but hey - it's got the same two main ingredients, so I guess it makes sense! The pesto really adds a little something to it :)
Here's what mine came out like when using wholemeal pasta:
I made this quick and easy pasta dish for a family get together, serving it with a salad. It was a huge hit especially with my 13 year old grandson. He can be a picky eater, but had two helpings - a rare event. Even more amazing, he is learning about different types of pasta at school and had to take in a favourite recipe, and say why teenagers would like it. His comment was that it's the best pasta he'd ever had, and he's a teenager!

Barton tied for 17th, Lady Bucs 12th at Lady Puerto Rico Classic
Friday, February 24, 2006
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Feb. 24, 2006) - Senior Ashley Barton (Seffner, Fla.) fired a team-best, 3-over-par 75 as the ETSU women's golf team finished 12th after the first round of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic at the Dorado Del Mar Golf Club.

STL Weekend - last installment
Thankfully woke up bright and early to the crisp, clear, and blessedly cool post-thunderstorm morning in STL, and ran 4.5 miles to work off yesterday's gluttony. Only to start it all over again at Lafayette Fire Company for the recently reviewed slinger (on some guy's fun blog devoted to this wonderful dish). It was relatively small, the eggs were scrambled (not offered any other way), but served with an english muffin - nice touch - and $3 mimosas. (The next day at Eat Rite I tried to order my slinger with a mimosa and they threatened to run me out of town.) Lots of jalapenos helped make this dish pretty tasty. Then, keeping on the STL theme, we went to Park Ave. Coffee and ordered 2 slices of gooey butter cake - one traditional and one carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Thankfully the coffee prevented us from slipping into a food coma, and a walk around beautiful Lafayette Park helped keep us going. This was followed by some fun strolling around South Grand (including the awesome 60's furniture shop). Lunch consisted of a bottle of water!
After multiple cocktails at Clementine's and Bastille (again, too much smoke, but what a friendly bunch), we made our way to Salt. Gorgeous place - both architecturally and the lighting and interior design. We started with some very artful cocktails (which took our blood-alcohol balance to the danger zone) - me with the Sheboygan Sunrise, and him with the 1862 Manhattan. We followed that with the burrata, served with heirloom cherry tomatoes. Nice, simple, good. Then we had the chicken liver pate, which was bizarre. It was served in a small ramekin, and was almost liquid. You could barely scoop it up with a knife to put it on the toast points. Honestly, the flavor was good, but this was just all kinds of wrong. However, the pickled veggies served along side were out of this world! The main course was the duck fat fried chicken, and still proud of myself for the morning run, decided to sub the mashed potatoes with the duck fat fries. (I felt, and probably looked, like Paula Deen.) The chicken - 2 boneless thighs - was excellent, as were the blistered beans and the fries. Nice crispy outside, moist, dark meat inside - very successful dish. Should have stopped there, but ordered the Apple Crisp. Dish was hot, but the inside was so cold and raw and flavorless that it was inedible, and the waiter graciously took it off the check.
Sunday morning, made it to Eat Rite for another slinger (after Yoga, which is how most Eat Rite patrons start their day). What a scene in that place - wow! Of course I had to have another slinger, and this one struck me more as the real thing - eggs over easy, sausage, good home fries, cheese, onions, smothered in chili, served with cheapo white toast to sop it up. Yum!
Lunch was chicken salad on a croissant from Straub's grocery in the CWE, enjoyed with good company in a gorgeous spot in Forest Park. Topped off with some luscious deserts from their excellent bakery, followed by a dash to Lambert Field and a quick exit from what is truly one of America's great cities, for food, people and general fun! Will be back again soon!
Oh ClevelandRandy, St. Louis loves you, too! We walked up for gelato the other night and I saw the new 60's furniture store, too...I can't wait to explore it. You are absolutely right, a slinger is something that really shouldn't be gentrified, they're best in their original form, their greasiest, gnarliest, tastiest original form. Koppermann's was kind of cool back when it was the only place in town where they'd even heard of lox or bagels, but last time I went the food was only so-so and the service was so lousy as to be funny.
re: elkahani
I have been to the Ted Drewes on Grand on a previous trip (after a wonderful lunch at Bahn Mi So), and of course had a concrete. Definitely iconic, and will definitely do it again on a future trip.
too bad to hear of Kopperman's decline.
I love the Eat-Rite and mostly for the staff's bi-polar hospitality swings (sweet to customers and then loudly griping to and about each other right in front of everyone).

8 Inspiring Green Kids and Their Eco-Innovations
As kids, most of us spent our days playing hopscotch, toying with action figures, maneuvering Tetris blocks, and wrestling with Donkey Kong. Not these creative tykes, however! These eight amazingly innovative kids and adolescents are inventing up a storm — whether for their own personal kicks (Hibiki Kono's wall-scaling backpack), to help their community (Kelydra Welcker's water-filtration method), or to save the world (Javier Fernández-Han's algae-driven super-system). Need some inspiration today? Click through our slideshow of amazing kid inventors for a look at the creative solutions the next generation is conjuring up for this one.
BEN GULAK + JASON MORROW – Built the Tango Electric Motorcycle
Ontario teenagers Ben Gulak and Jason Morrow, who were 18 in 2007, built a Segway-inspired electric motorcycle with a difference: It has no hand-steering controls. Dubbed the "Tango," the electric vehicle moves forward, right, or left, depending on its rider's body movements.
MAX WALLACK- Created the Home Dome
PBS Kids' Design Squad found a winner in Max Wallack, then 12, when he invented the "Home Dome" for its Trash to Treasure competition. Composed of plastic bags filled with Styrofoam packing peanuts, the yurt-shaped structure was designed to offer temporary shelter for homeless people and disaster victims, while relieving landfills of non-biodegradable waste.

Qwebirc is a fast, easy to use, free and open source IRC client designed by and originally just for the QuakeNet IRC network. Released in 2009, it's a python written web-based IRC client. It also has a fork, iris, developed by the Atheme IRC services team, and provides better integration with Atheme's IRC services. Qwebirc uses its own embedded webserver utilizing non-blocking multiplexing, and can cope with thousands of users easily. Because of this, there are two methods which can be used to direct clients to a qwebirc instance via nginx: redirection, or reverse proxy.
Redirect Method
Because qwebirc is meant to be run on its own port, you can use a redirect to send requests to qwebirc's embedded webserver. Your server block would look something like (substituting 8080 for whatever port you're using):
server { listen 127.0.0.1:80; listen [::1]:80; server_name webchat.domain.tld; return 301 $scheme://webchat.domain.tld:8080$request_uri; }
This would take any requests for webchat.domain.tld, and redirect it to webchat.domain.tld:8080, and would also append any request URI's to the rewrite.
Reserve Proxy Method
It is also possible to reverse proxy qwebirc from nginx, hiding the port number in the address bar, and using nginx as the frontend. To do this, you would first set up a server block to look like:
server { listen 127.0.0.1:80; listen [::1]:80; server_name webchat.domain.tld; access_log /home/web/log/qwebirc.access.log; error_log /home/web/log/qwebirc.error.log; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9090; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_buffering off; }
This will forward the client's real IP address to qwebirc, for a CGI:IRC/WebIRC type setup. Next, you should modify your config.py (or iris.conf if you're using iris) to contain the following:
ARGS = -i 127.0.0.1 -p 9090 BASE_URL = "http://webchat.domain.tld/" FORWARDED_FOR_HEADER="x-forwarded-for" FORWARDED_FOR_IPS=["127.0.0.1"]
Note that all of the above will already be in your config.py or iris.conf, so rather than just appending your configuration file with the above, you should find the options inside your config and uncomment/change them to the above. As well, iris's config format differs slightly from the above, using "args: " instead of "ARGS = ", and such.
Once you've modified your qwebirc/iris config, you can (clean, if you've already compiled) compile and run it.

A Rock-Solid Chess Opening Repertoire for Black
The French Connection - Winning Ways with 1. e4 e6 and 1. d4 e6Product Code: B0180GB
Book Description
The French Connection: winning ways with 1 e4 e6 and 1 d4 e6
Playing as Black in a game of chess can be difficult. Do you simply try to neutralize White's initiative, or go all-out to complicate the game? Either way, there are many pitfalls, and a lot of study may be needed.
In this book, Grandmaster Eingorn shows that it is possible both to play solidly, and to take White out of his comfort zone. He recommends ideas and move-orders that are a little off the beaten track, but which he has very carefully worked out over many years of his own practice. The repertoire, based on playing 1...e6, is strikingly creative and will appeal to those who want a stress-free life as Black. You will get every chance to demonstrate your chess skills, and are very unlikely to be blown off the board by a sharp prepared line. All you need is a flexible approach, and a willingness to try out new structures and ideas. Eingorn's subtle move-orders are particularly effective if White refuses to pick up the gauntlet, as Black can then use his delay in playing ...Nf6 to good effect and take the fight directly to his opponent.
About the Author(s)
Viacheslav Eingorn is an extremely experienced grandmaster from Odessa (Ukraine), who played regularly and successfully in the Top League of the USSR Championship in the 1980s. He has represented Ukraine many times in team events, winning a gold medal at the 2001 World Team Championship. Eingorn is a FIDE Senior Trainer, and coached the victorious Ukrainian women's team at the 2006 Olympiad.

Samsung Total Petrochemicals strikes feedstock deal with Iran, report says

Samsung Total Petrochemicals (STP; Seoul), a joint venture between Samsung and Total, has reinstated a contract to purchase Iranian crude oil after a one-year hiatus, Reuters reports. STP, facing thin margins in the plastics market, is attracted by cheap feedstock costs, the report says. Japanese and Korean crude oil buyers have found ways to circumvent international sanctions on Iran without violating them, the report adds. STP and Total each stopped buying Iranian crude last year to comply with sanctions on Iran. The decision resulted in a 90% fall...

En español l These days most people have gotten the message about the importance of colorectal cancer screening: After we turn 50, nearly everyone ought to undergo a colonoscopy every 10 years. But say you're 79 and in good health with no family history of colon disease; do you really need another colonoscopy if you got one at 70? Probably not.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Turns out a number of older people are having these invasive, uncomfortable tests too often. New research shows that almost a quarter of the tests are performed on those who don't really need them.
On the other hand, while some older adults are being screened too often, other groups are not getting screened enough. Underscreening remains a problem for racial and ethnic minorities and those in lower socioeconomic populations.
A valuable test
During a colonoscopy, a doctor can find and remove precancerous polyps before they grow and spread. But colonoscopies are invasive procedures that carry small but real risks, such as bleeding, bowel perforations or complications from sedation, particularly in older people.
Groups like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the American Cancer Society and the American College of Gastroenterology agree that routine screening colonoscopies should be carried out every 10 years starting at age 50.
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among men and women and the second leading cause of cancer death. An estimated 143,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year, according to the National Cancer Institute, and nearly 51,000 people will die from the disease. But the five-year survival rate is about 90 percent if it is caught early, which is why cancer screening is highly recommended.
The USPSTF says screening colonoscopies should be performed on a case-by-case basis for people between the ages of 76 and 85, and it recommends no screening for people over age 85. The benefit of early cancer detection in very old people is offset by the risk of complications.
But some doctors and patients aren't getting the message. A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that almost a quarter of colonoscopies are either performed too often or given to patients who are too old to benefit.
"It looks like some patients are getting screened inappropriately," says Kristin Sheffield, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston who led the study.
The study didn't fault colonoscopies doctors performed because a patient had a problem or worrisome symptom, such as blood in the stool or abdominal pain. Nor does it address colonoscopies to check patients who previously have had colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. The remaining colonoscopies were classified as potentially inappropriate when they were performed in people over the age of 76, or if they were carried out less than 10 years after a previous normal colonoscopy.

Goals: Genesis' purpose is to observe the solar wind, entrap its particles and return them to Earth.
Accomplishments: For more than two years, Genesis collected samples of the solar wind -- a stream of charged particles from the sun -- about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from Earth, a point where the Earth and sun's gravities are balanced. The zone is called the Lagrange 1 point. Despite a hard landing in the Utah desert, the Genesis samples were recovered from its capsule. The samples are being studied in a special lab at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas.

Tip Top House
Sargent's Purchase, NH
Ph: 603-466-3347
Tip Top House is the last of the original structures built at the summit of Mount Washington that still exists today.
The stone hotel was built in the summer of 1853, a decade before the civil war, by Samuel F. Spaulding & Co., at a cost of $7000. The orginal Tip-Top House was a simple stone building with a wooden extension. Later, a fancy wooden hotel was built, directly connected to the Railroad. It burned down and a new simpler hotel was built in the early 1900s.
Now a state historic site, Tip Top House is once again open to summit guests. As a result of the most recent restoration which was completed in 1987, the building now resembles the original house as it was when it was first built with a flat roof. As the sole summit survivor, it provides a link between the mountain's past and present and affords a window to its rich history. The Tip Top House is believed to be the oldest mountain-top hostelry still in existence in the world.
