Do you like cheese but wish it were partially digested before you ate it? No? How about if it were partially digested by maggots before you ate it? Still no? O.K., what if the maggots were still in the cheese when it were served to you? Hey, where are you going?
Casu Marzu is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese. It is made by taking a Pecorino cheese, removing some of the rind and leaving it out for the cheese fly to lay its eggs in. The eggs hatch and the resulting maggots digest the cheese, breaking down some of the fats which makes the cheese soft and spreadable. The cheese is usually served while the maggots are still alive, so look out; the little larvae can jump up to 6 inches.
The European Union once outlawed Casu Marzu due to food hygiene and health regulations. You'll be pleased to find out that the ban on the cheese has been lifted due to it being a traditional food of the region.
Thus concludes Grotesque or Gourmet? Thank you for stopping by and I promise that next week my posts will contain 95% less maggots.

It may trouble you to learn that the gym is not the best place to get the ideal male body. Most health clubs are based around the idea that you want to target and isolate individual muscles for enlargement. If an exercise puts you on a machine, chair, or bench, it probably isolates muscle. If a workout promises bigger biceps or pecs, it probably isolates muscle. Muscles were designed to work together in groups. Bodies that are built up by isolating muscles look asymmetrical and clumsy.
Overly defined six-pack abs, for instance, help us do only a meaningless skill—flex our abdomen. Which is why Michelangelo's David, though he has a very lean waist, has only a partial six-pack. The same goes for the "canon of proportions," as embodied in the famed Leonardo da Vinci drawing known as Vitruvian Man.
The job of a torso is to transmit the so-called hoop forces needed to hold your body rigid in a pull-up, push-up, or handstand—either for exercise or applied in real-world situations. A torso is a thing of male beauty, and it has nothing to do with the questionable business of crunches or sit-ups or ab rollers. Abs, of course, do have a way of closing the deal in the bedroom, and that's no small thing.
"Gym-styled exercise cannot produce naturally elegant physiques," says Frenchman Erwan Le Corre, the founder of MovNat, a back-to-nature-style fitness movement. "To me the aesthetic appeal of a body is not apparent when it poses, but when it moves."
"You can tell the difference between a guy that has done only gym exercise and someone who has worked on his feet," says Mark Lauren, author of You Are Your Own Gym. "If one guy is a rugby player and the other has been going to the gym doing cardio and isolation movements, the athlete doesn't just look strong, he is strong." Not only does a naturally derived physique help you when you use your body—on the playing field, on the dance floor, in bed—it remains intuitively desirable.
"We know in general that people are more attractive when their bodies look natural," says Gordon Patzer, author of Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined. "We have this weird thing where we want people to look very attractive in their body . . . without having sat in the gym and done one exercise over and over to build up one particular part." Not weird at all.

A wonderful comedy routine to produce a live rabbit!
Here's how it goes: show your audience a cute little black and white house. Cover the house completely with an empty wooden tube. The tube is beautifully painted like the sky, with a with a colorful rainbow.
When you remove the tube, the house has completely changed from black-and-white to a rainbow of colors! It is now YELLOW, BLUE and RED!
But wait!! Cover the house again with the empty tube. This time, when the tube is lifted, the house contains a little bunny (or other small animal, prop or prize)!
Using a live animal in your show is a surefire way to get a fantastic reaction! And kids LOVE bunnies!
This sturdy box is specially constructed to safely and securely produce a live animal. The Rainbow House box is 12.5"x 9"x 12", so it is recommended that you use a dwarf rabbit or a baby rabbit, rather than a large adult rabbit, for the comfort of the animal.

Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie
David Suzuki, Canadian scientist, activist, environmentalist and educator, delivers a 'last lecture' -- what he describes as "a distillation of my life and thoughts, my legacy, what I want to say before I die". Filmed before a live audience, accompanied by a memory box of moving, distilled images, he articulates a core, urgent message: we have exhausted the limits of the biosphere and it is imperative that we re-think our relationship with the natural world. Suzuki looks unflinchingly at the strains on our interconnected web of life - and out of our dire present circumstances, heoffers up a blueprint for sustainability and survival.

Thats true, as jugs pull off, why not r/r the jug, piston and head. Way simpler than pulling and replacing the engine, as long as the connecting rod is ok.
Then you could use ANY P216 engine as a donor.
Going to guess and say that the previous owner, used moisture ridden dinosuar oil, in which moisture got into the hydraulic lifters, froze, and the lifters became solid, driving the valve/s down enough to make contact with the piston. This usually just bends the pushrods but can take out a valve pretty fast too. So your going too have to replace them from the donor.

swapping guts
From what I have seen the block casting is one piece, so if any guts swapping were to be done it would have to be the bottom end, crank, rods, and pistons. But I would be curious to how much machine work would run??
No detachable jugs on the Onan, no hydraulic lifters, flat head design so no chance of the valves hitting the pistons.
Actually, Onan had at least 23 different cranks over the years. All the tapered cranks for Millers were a 1.50 taper (1.5"/foot) with the most common being the type "45BH". Miller changed to the type 45EE, 1" threaded crank in the mid 90's.
The rare "45CB" and "45CE" cranks were also a 1.50 taper with slightly different length details and 7/16-14 center bolt threads rather than the 5/16-24 of the common 45BH cranks.
My recommendation would be to:
1) Overhaul the one you've got with new pistons, rings, valves, guides, etc.
http://onanparts.com/index.php?main_...roducts_id=124 (or individual parts as needed)
I believe TJ (onanparts.com) offers oversized seats that would require the services of a machine shop to install.
2) Get the one that would pretty much be given to you and swap out the cranks. However, this requires tearing both units down completely at which time you can assess exactly what parts (rings, gaskets, etc.) that you'll need to put it back together. I've taken this path when swapping an earlier tapered crank out for the later threaded version.
Either way, due to design, you'll have to pull the pistons to get the crank out so plan on rings for hard parts at the very least.MM200 w/spot controller and Spoolmatic 1

duaneb55 I am glad you chimed in.. LOL you seem to know what you are talking about when it comes to the Bobus 225g. So you are saying that the 45BH crank is the most common, is that in the Onan Powered Miller machines or common across the board? I must be honest I don't have a lot of money burning a hole in my pocket or I would spring for the 1300 rebuild kit. I am guessing that when it dropped the valve guide that is what bent my valve(s). Both guides were pretty tore up. I could set the guid back in place and wiggle it so it is WAY out.
That would be for the Miller Onan powered units. Lincoln and other equipment manufacturers used different configurations.MM200 w/spot controller and Spoolmatic 1

fix the guides...
If money is tight, pull the engine, have a machine shop fix the guides(they likely can get the guides, and valve seat cheaper then you can, rering the engine and go, unless the bore is trashed likely a set of rings and gaskets will be it. (if your realy hurting you can do only one cylinder). The trick with working on an onan is not breaking the exhaust manifold bolts and headbolts off.Lincoln ranger 305g x2

Tryagn5 - I would be looking at a complete top end rebuild. I am one of these guides that while I have it tore all apart I might as well do the bottom end because I am already there. I will not have a cobbled together machine that just nickels and dimes me to death.
Duaneb55 - Good thing I ain't running a Lincoln machine! LOL I know you have quite a bit of experience on the bobus 225g, all of the info you share with us here don't fall on deaf ears.

How can you maximize your financial aid?
What is financial aid?
Financial aid is money intended to pay for college tuition and related expenses. Financial aid can come from the state or federal government, the college you attend and other resources. Depending on the type of aid you receive, these funds can be used to cover your college tuition and fees as well as other education-related expenses like room and board or textbooks. Like scholarships, grant money does not have to be repaid.
What are the different types of financial aid?
Financial aid can be need-based, which means you or your parents' income qualifies you to receive additional aid. Your FAFSA will help the government and your college decide if you qualify for need-based financial aid. Financial aid can also be merit-based, which means good grades or academic standing qualify you for additional money.
Read more about the financial aid process here.
How do I qualify?
The number one thing you must do to qualify for financial aid is file the FAFSA (or Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by Indiana's March 10 deadline. Even if you're not sure if you will attend college in the fall, you should file your FAFSA by March 10 to make sure you won't miss out on financial aid.
How can I increase my chances of receiving financial aid?
You must have filed the FAFSA on time to receive aid. Check with the college you attend or will attend to see if they have a deadline earlier than Indiana's March 10 deadline.
To receive need-based aid, you must demonstrate you or your family's income. Have all of your tax documents (W-2 forms and tax forms like the 1040) ready before you file the FAFSA.
To receive merit-based aid, you must demonstrate that you have high grades and/or a high GPA (grade point average). Double check that all colleges to which you're applying have a copy of your high school transcript. If it's available at your school, use eTranscript to send your transcript. Ask your school counselor or check your high school homepage.
What if I'm a 21st Century Scholar?
If you are enrolled in the 21st Century Scholars Program, you must complete all the Program's requirements to receive partial or full tuition at a participating Indiana college. Read more to make sure you are meeting all requirements.
What if I'm graduating from high school early?
Students graduating from an Indiana high school before their senior year may qualify for the Mitch Daniels Early Graduation Scholarship.
What can I do in grades K-11?
If you're in grades K-6, you should focus on your schoolwork. Set good habits and get good grades now so you'll qualify for merit-based aid later.
If you're in grades 7 or 8, find out if your family's income qualifies you for the 21st Century Scholars Program. Scholars receive up to four years of paid tuition at an Indiana college if they meet the program's requirements for grades, graduation and behavior.
If you're in high school, grades are even more important because they count towards your high school GPA (grade point average). Don't compromise good grades by taking too many tough classes, being involved in too many extracurricular activities or having poor time management. But don't forget that colleges like to see that you challenged yourself with AP (Advanced Placement) or dual-credit classes!
What can I do if I'm already in college?
Your financial aid status can change each year. To remain eligible for financial aid, you must file the FAFSA on time each year you expect to attend college. The Indiana deadline is March 10, but your college may have an earlier deadline.
Your aid status will change when you turn 24, as you are then considered an independent adult. You may qualify for even more aid when your parents' income is not factored into your FAFSA, so be sure to file your FAFSA on time!
Even if you didn't qualify for merit-based aid the previous year, good grades in a single year or semester can result in additional financial aid, especially if you earn a spot on the dean's list. Some merit-based financial aid is awarded automatically, but some scholarships require you to apply. Ask your advisor or the financial aid office about scholarships you may qualify for.
Make sure to find out about requirements for keeping financial aid you already have. Often you will have to maintain full-time student status (usually 12 credit hours per semester, although you'll need at least 15 credits per semester to finish on time) and maintain a certain GPA. Financial aid usually expires after eight semesters for a bachelor's degree. Find out how many semesters you can receive financial aid and read about finishing faster to make sure you won't run out of aid before you graduate. Plus, find information about Indiana's 15 to Finish campaign here.

OP asked a question. You obviously do not know the answer because you just made a stupid, insulting reply. Perhaps if you don't know the answer, don't reply. I don't know the answer either, but would be interested in knowing the answer as well and would have asked the question had the AC not already asked. But instead of an answer you just shit all over it and are apparently offended that it got asked. Get over yourself and realize that some people aren't afraid to ask questions when they are ignorant... you might want to try it.

Now that I think about it, if Philae did not bounce off of the comet, then the screws must be doing their job and I would think the harpoons might not be needed at all. I would assume the harpoons were in the plans because the engineers couldn't be sure the screws would work on the surface of a comet.
My understanding is that the harpoons were one of two ways that ESA was going to secure the probe to the comet. There were also screws that were supposed to attach the legs to the surface. So if they can still fire the harpoons they ought not have an issue with Philae flying off into space, but does anyone with more information on the relative strength of each? And if the harpoons could not be fired... what is the real risk of the probe shifting? I mean what would cause it to shift in the first place once settled on the comet?
No it isn't worthless. Most small shops could probably get by with using it exclusively.
Well, they can certainly file, but they would lose. I remember a business law case we went over many years ago where Hallmark Cards trashed a bunch of their cards, someone salvaged them and got sued. The case ruled against Hallmark. I'm not finding it in a Google, but remember the case from the class.
I wonder if some of these folks were already regretting their decision to tie up money in a space flight. People's finances change, life situations change, priorities change... and this is a convenient way to try to get out of the financial obligation.
No evidence on my part... just idle speculation.
Grandiloquence is an occupational hazard for a solo musician. There you are, alone onstage, playing works that are acknowledged to be monumentally great with breathtaking ability. It can be hard to avoid assuming the trappings of greatness.
Exhibit A is Dejan Lazic, who made his Washington debut Saturday afternoon as part of the Washington Performing Arts Society's Hayes Piano Series at the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater. Lazic, 33, is a pianist, composer and sometime clarinetist. A few years ago, he made a strong mark as a performing partner of cellist Pieter Wispelwey. More recently, his claim to fame was turning Brahms's violin concerto into something dubbed "Piano Concerto No. 3," which he recorded with the Atlanta Symphony earlier this year. The feat ranks somewhere on the "because it's there" spectrum of human achievement: attention-getting, large scale and a little empty.
His recital of Chopin and Schubert on Saturday was unfortunately on the same spectrum. The selection of those two composers is usually a way to demonstrate a pianist's sensitivity as well as his virtuosity. This performance, though, kept one eye fixed on monumentality. Some of the pieces, such as Chopin's Scherzo No. 2, sounded less like light solo piano works than an attempt to rival the volume of a concerto with full orchestra. This scherzo became cartoon-like in its lurches from minutely small to very, very large.
It's not that Lazic isn't sensitive - or profoundly gifted. The very first notes of Chopin's Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante at the start of the program signalled that he can do anything he wants at the keyboard, detailing chords with a jeweler's precision, then laying little curls of notes atop a cushion of sound like diamonds nestled on velvet. Again and again, throughout the afternoon, he showed what a range of colors he could get out of the instrument, switching from hard-edged percussiveness to creamy legato, crackling chords to a single thread of sound. The sheer technical ability was, at first, a delight.
Soon, though, all of the finesse started to seem like an end in itself. Every nuance of the music was underlined visibly with a host of concert-pianist playacting gestures: head flung back at the end of a phrase; left hand conducting the right hand; or a whole ballet of fingers hovering over keys and picking out their targets before an opening note was even struck at the start of Chopin's Ballade No. 3. There were fine moments, but they stubbornly refused to add up to anything more than a self-conscious display of Fine Moments. The final movement of Chopin's Second Piano Sonata was in a way the most successful part of the program: sheer virtuosity, and perfectly unhinged.
Schubert's B-flat Sonata, D. 960, was a chance to shift into another gear and show a more reflective side, but it was a chance Lazic didn't quite take. The notes, again, were exquisitely placed, and there were things to like, but the human side fell short. All of the precision didn't help bring across the lyricism of the first movement's theme, or the threat of the bass growl that keeps warning off ease from the bottom of the keyboard. The second movement, instead of being a searching, tugging quest, was reduced to merely very pretty music.
The pianist was received with reasonably warm applause, but it didn't last long enough to draw an encore - which ought to get his attention. He's a pianist of prodigious gifts, and he's too good not to do better, to move beyond the music's challenges and into the realm of its soul.
I am mixed on this announcement. While I hope it is true, I have a hard time understanding how anyone can promise commercially available reactors on such a short time frame and at such small scales.
ITER will take about a dozen years from site prep to construction assuming no more slips in schedule with operations occurring about a decade after that. Yet somehow, Lockheed will be (presumably) manufacturing these things in ten years? Hard to believe. But if it is true, the scientists involved in ITER will have a lot of egg on their face.
Must be "stultia gravis" cases
Did you mean stultitia gravis? (extreme stupidity). Kinda funny which word you'd misspell when trying to appear superior to the masses.
The last sentence of the summary explains a lot:
"Those who attempt to return to work often find they are unable to carry out their former functions and after a few weeks, when coworkers get weary of 'covering' for them, they either are put on disability (if they are lucky) or fired or made Slashdot editors (if they are really unlucky)," she writes."
And Germany pays three times what the US pays for electricity http://shrinkthatfootprint.com...
If the US's cost suddenly tripled, I guarantee you that rooftop solar wold take off. I looked at it, and even with a 20% subsidy from Uncle Sam, I couldn't make the numbers work. But if electricity went up even 20% in cost, it would become worth it with the 20% subsidy. Without a subsidy, electric cost would need to go up 40% to make it worth it to me.

Practice Philosophy
A premium surgical center and a center of excellence are both products of exceptional people. This team should be collaborative, experienced, innovative, communicative, accountable and always on the cutting edge of surgical care. This team of professionals should treat each patient as an individual and develop treatment plans that suit that particular individual's needs. The approach should never be a cookie cutter, one size fits all method. This team should also practice excellent standards of care and continuously strive to improve on a daily basis. The objective should be to obtain optimal outcomes for each and every patient.
Our vision and passion at Suria Plastic Surgery is to be such a center of excellence. With the educational background, training background, and surgical experience, Dr.Kusuma and his team are dedicated to develop such a center of excellence here in South Florida. Plastic surgery in particular is a field that allows a skilled surgeon to combine science with art, technology with technical ability, passion with creativity. Dr.Kusuma strives to embody all these features in his practice on a daily basis. He is a perfectionist by nature, and always strives to get the optimal result for any situation. He does not rest until he does so.
He is very compassionate, caring and is a very good listener. As a matter of fact, he was honored by a patient as "the worlds most patient doctor". He understands surgery is as much physical as it is emotional. He treats the whole patient.
Once he becomes the physician of a patient, he is vested in the long term outcomes of the patient. He hopes to be his/her plastic surgeon for the rest of his career. He prides on developing long term relationships and lasting outcomes for patients. He follows up with patients very closely and is always available.
In these confusing times when there are marketing claims made on a daily basis as to the superiority of a particular technology, product or technique, Dr.Kusuma relies on science, peer reviewed research, and validation of technologies, products and techniques. He believes in educating patients with accurate information, and does not profess unsubstantiated claims. A large part of a consultation is spent on patient education, so that he and the patient can decide together on the appropriate course of action

Market Preview: Pressed for Time
TheStreet) -- The ugly selling continues and it's hard to find a reason why the tide will turn anytime soon.The kneejerk reaction to President Barack Obama's re-election has seen plenty of follow-through with the Dow Jones Industrial Average now down in five of the past six sessions and the Nasdaq Composite qualifying for a correction by shedding 11% off its post-QE3 high for 2012. All the rhetoric is pointing to a very difficult debate on solving the fiscal cliff. The president is sticking to his guns on higher taxes for the richest of Americans, pressing the advantage he gained a little more than a week ago. The Republicans have shown some willingness to reach across the aisle but they also have to defend what turf they have left and can't afford to cave completely. Deutsche Bank offered this assessment as anxiety about Capitol Hill builds on Wall Street. The firm noted that Obama is now looking for $1.6 trillion in additional tax revenue over the next decade, double the $800 billion target that he couldn't get GOP leaders on board with in the summer of 2011. One week on from the U.S. Presidential election result, and we're no closer to a solution on the fiscal cliff with 48 days left in the year," Deutsche Bank observed on Wednesday, adding later: "The seemingly hardline approach sets the scene for tough negotiations with congressional leaders on Friday." And the question can quickly go from "why buy stocks here?" to "why not sell before all of 2012's gains disappear?" Longtime market watcher Ed Yardeni was trying to stay bullish about the end of the year ahead of Wednesday's regular session but noted the time crunch of the fiscal cliff isn't exactly conducive to a surge in stocks. "The year is almost over," he wrote in emailed commentarty. "There won't be a year-end rally until the fiscal cliff issue is resolved. If it isn't resolved before the end of the year, then there is likely to be more downside to the current correction until the issue is resolved early next year. I'm still expecting a happy ending for the year, but there isn't much time left." Sam Stovall, chief U.S. equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, noted some of the selling is being driven by investors looking to get ahead of changes in tax implications for investments. "With uncertainty surrounding the conclusion of the fiscal cliff, be it a likely postponement, a preferred outright solution, or the unthinkable continuation of irreconcilable differences, investors are tripping over themselves in an attempt to lighten their positions in stocks with hefty dividend yields or price appreciation, as future tax rates won't likely be as favorable," he wrote. "Even though this swift exodus may soon be followed by a 'V' shaped recovery should a resolution be forthcoming, a lot of technical damage has already been done. We think this will need to be repaired before a sustainable advance is resumed."Updated from 6:39 p.m. ET to include additional information on Texas Instruments and NetApp. NEW YORK (

Australia marks the first race for the new-for-2011 adjustable rear wing – and F1 insiders and fans alike are curious to know whether or not it will increase overtaking.
By Matthew Clayton
While Pirelli's first race as sole tyre supplier at Albert Park will generate plenty of discussion, Melbourne will also host the first race for cars equipped with the new-for-2011 adjustable rear wing.
How the wing is utilised, and when, will be heavily scrutinised this weekend. The adjustable rear wing is the latest initiative brought into the sport to increase overtaking. The driver-operated device works by increasing the space between the two horizontal planes of the rear wing from 10-15mm to 50mm, which reduces the drag of cars on the straights and provides a boost of straight-line speed to be used to overtake a rival. While drivers will activate the device from the cockpit, they can only do so within a strict set of parameters governed by Race Control at each venue.
To help spectators and TV viewers at Albert Park identify when a pursuing car is within one second of a rival in front, two lines will be painted across the circuit between Turns 14 and 15 that indicate a one-second distance. The start of the overtaking zone, which will be approximately 600m in length, will then be identified by another line on the Albert Park start-finish straight 867 metres from Turn 1.
Drivers will be told they can use the adjustable rear wing when a light appears on their steering-wheel, and can only do so when they're less than one second behind the car in front at the start of the overtaking zone. The rear wing will return to its original position when the driver brakes or releases the button he uses to activate the system.
To help spectators and TV viewers at Albert Park identify when a pursuing car is within one second of a rival in front, two lines will be painted across the circuit between Turns 15 and 16 (the final two corners) that indicate a one-second distance.
The start of the overtaking zone, which will be approximately 600m in length, will then be identified by another line on the Albert Park start-finish straight.
The FIA, the governing body for the sport, has said it will adjust the length of the overtaking zone as it sees fit if overtaking becomes too easy or too difficult. The aim is to make sure the difference in speed between the car in front and the one behind is just enough to aid an overtaking manoeuvre.
The extra speed expected to be generated by the use of the adjustable rear wing is thought to be around 14km/h, while cars equipped with Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) have the potential to be even quicker.
It remains to be seen how the implementation of the adjustable rear wing will change the racing at Albert Park, with what happens in Melbourne likely to dictate the way the rules are tweaked for the remainder of the season. Drivers spent much of the February testing period getting accustomed to the new wing, and opinions were varied on whether it will achieve its aims.
Nico Rosberg of Mercedes is one driver who welcomes the change.
"There is a very good chance that it will improve racing," he told reporters in Barcelona in early March.
"I think it is one of the best things that has been done for a very, very long time to improve the racing and make it more exciting, (but) it is important that it really does help. It needs to be judged. If it doesn't improve the racing, is it worth keeping on? If it doesn't, then we need to take it off."
Williams veteran Rubens Barrichello, who has seen more than his fair share of regulatory changes in an F1 career that began in 1993, is more cautious as the use of the adjustable rear wing will only be governed during races but free during practice and qualifying.
"Hopefully we're going to get a little bit more of an explanation of how the rear wing will work, because in the first place the rear wing should only work for straight lines to overtake," Barrichello said.
"Now … you're pressing it every corner and it's becoming a nightmare. People will be tempted to do flat corners with that down, and we're going to see crashes going on. That's not the purpose. You're going to gamble … (and) I don't want to wait for someone to run into another driver for something to be done."

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
A Leonardtown man, who was charged last month with assaulting a girlfriend, remained jailed without bond this week on charging papers alleging he tried to kill the woman last Thursday at her Valley Lee home.
Patrick James Hutching, 31, formerly of Lusby, was charged with attempted first-degree murder in the attack on Bridgette F. Hayden, who court papers state was found on the ground and "bleeding profusely" from a large cut on her neck.
St. Mary's sheriff's deputies arriving at the scene began life-saving efforts to help the injured woman as rescue squad volunteers responded, investigators report, and she initially was taken to MedStar St. Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown before she was transferred to the Washington Hospital Center.
"She got out last night," Capt. Terry Black of the sheriff's criminal investigations division said Tuesday morning. "She is recovering from her injuries."
Hutching and Hayden were arguing over the telephone last week before two people drove him to her home, according to court papers.
"They [earlier] observed him sharpening a fixed-blade knife, and making claims he was going to cut the victim's throat," detective Cpl. Thomas Hedderich wrote in a statement of probable cause in the case.
Hutching later called one of the two witnesses, charging papers state, and said "he had just killed the victim and needed assistance discarding the body. Believing he was kidding, [the] witness ... returned to the victim's residence and found her on the ground."
Hutching was no longer at the scene, detectives report, and the investigators found the suspect at a relative's home in Calvert County.
Hutching admitted to police that he got into an argument and subsequent fight with the woman, and that he later discarded his clothing and threw the knife he used to cut her into a body of water, according to charging papers.
A judge ordered Friday that Hutching be held in custody at the St. Mary's jail without bond.
On Nov. 17, online court records state, Hutching was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest on a charge of second-degree assault in court papers alleging that four days earlier, he threw Hayden into a wall and onto the floor of a residence where they were living in Leonardtown.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 21, 2011) - A four-run fourth inning for Kennesaw State was the difference as the ETSU baseball team dropped its fifth straight contest Thursday night suffering an 8-4 loss to the Owls at Cardinal Park in game one of the series.

The Owls got things going in the top of the first as Ronnie Freeman drove in Dobbs on a sacrifice fly to center to take a 1-0 lead.
Freeman put KSU up 2-0 in the third after doubling in Dobbs from first for his second RBI of the contest.

This is the best Spanish rice recipe on this site! I don't understand why people don't follow the direction to saute the rice! This is not supposed to be a "sticky rice" like Puerto Rican or Chinese rice, but that's what you'll get if you don't saute it first. I don't agree that you should brown it.... it should turn translucent, but not brown. If you are adding fresh garlic, add it after sauteing the rice and only cook it long enough for it to release it's aroma..don't brown it-it will turn bitter. After you add the liquid, bring the rice to a full, rolling boil before turning it down to low and putting the lid on. Also, make sure you have a tight fitting lid...cover it with foil to make it tighter if necessary. Don't peek while the rice it cooking! After 20 minutes move it off the heat and let it "rest" another 5 minutes. If you do these things you will have purfect rice! Even though I ususally use homemade salsa, I think the Pace "Make Mine Medium" gives the right amount of heat and flavor to the dish. Thanks for a great recipe that everyone can master and enjoy!
this was just ok for us. i found it kinda bland. the texture was great though. i had extra long grain rice and i only used 1 cup and the whole amount of liquid as stated.

HELPFUL TIPS NOT MENTIONED: I've tried all the other recipes on this site & decided this is the best! I like using salsa more than diced tomatoes b/c it has more flavor and spice ...and it doesn't taste like you just dumped salsa in it like I expected. This is only for my family of 4, so I use 3/4C of uncooked rice, definitely a little more than half a tablespoon of olive oil (full recipe calls for too much), with 3/4 of the can of chicken broth (approx 1 1/2C), BUT still use 1C of salsa as I feel it's necessary, as well as a few dashes of pepper. I only brown rice a few minutes longer after it's turned WHITE (very apparent white color). Being Asian myself, I could cook rice w/my eyes closed it seems. lol Many times we don't add onions b/c I'm too lazy to dice them. If we do, it definitely needs more than suggested or it's pointless adding. It's even better when you add diced green & red peppers to the rice you are browning or use green onion instead of white/red. We eat the rice every time we make "Whit's Chicken Enchiladas" which is SUPER EASY and YUMMY! This takes less time than indicated for the rice to be done. Also great to put in baking dish, add cheese, and bake at 350 until it melts! :)
I made this spanish rice for Xmas Eve Dinner, it was excellent. However I did have to add some water & let it simmer a little longer to get the rice done. I added just 1/4 tsp. chili powder to it. My cousin who is a chef said, "it's perfect". That ought to tell you something. Thanks for the recipe.
Delicious results for minimal effort. I prepared this as written except for using butter rather than vegetable oil. This worked perfectly with our chicken enchiladas and Frijoles a la Charra. Good stuff!
Delicious & Easy! Best Spanish rice I have ever made. I think even better than our local mexican restaurant. I added about 2 & 1/2 C. chicken broth. Either need to do that or cut rice from 1 & 1/2 C. down to 1 C. Also, did not brown rice as read reviews saying made it too crunchy. I sauteed onions and then added broth, rice, and salsa and cooked slowly so that rice would be soft. A keeper!
I made this yesterday to go with the Mexican Theme of my son and husband's birthday party dinner. I modified it for a large group and used 6 cups chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups picante sauce and 4 cups rice. I did have to add about 2 cups more water since the rice was still a little chewy after cooking down. I then just added garlic and onion powder to it, spread it in a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkled mexican blend cheese over the top and put in the oven for about 15 min till the cheese was melted. this was sooo good and sooo easy to make! Thanks for the great recipe!
tastey! i used pace picante sauce (salsa) and 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 white. Next time, i'll use all brown rice since it is so much healthier for you! We couldn't taste the dirty bland-ness of brown rice at all, the flavor was perfect. One thing to change however- it takes about 30 mins or so to simmer! It was the last part of our dinner to finish. ;)

Francis Ford Coppola and many more choosed the hacked GH2 output in the Zacuto's blind test on first place in front of the Red and Alexa...!
No need to say that this has been commented on the Red (and others) forum.
I don't know if it's serious or a joke but here are the facts:
It's incredible.

I don't see the big deal
The DOP could change the lights
This enabled the cameras with bad DR to shine, and the GH2 kid happened to make a pleasant image
Den talking about the Fs100 used a joker 400w to lift the FS100
That is a $4k light
Which is so unlikely to be available to a FS100 user
To me an expensive camera is about flexibility in post, ability to crop, keeping lights budget down and also booting up, not overheating - having onboard sound, timecode, whatever features you need to keep your production cost effective from concept to edit
It has never been to me in question that a GH2 can look good when used in optimal conditions
Some other guy did a great blog about the shootout where he took the post budget and extra lighting rental into account
The F65 and Alexa were cheapest to create the image followed by the FS100

Of course.
But what I find amazing is that all the guys involved were experienced and also could lit according to each cam specs. The fact that many experienced eyes like Coppola put the hacked GH2 in first place when viewed on theater is still amazing me, because all the other cams had also the optimized lightning etc...
I think it tells a little more than just "in good conditions, with the right crew etc..." because the others were also in good conditions and with the right crew too.
Now, completly agree with you about what matters, and not just the output.
ps: the dr of the GH2 (no DxO reference of course...) is generaly vastly underestimate. This is a known fact among GH2 users. It's far from being the best of course, but not as restricted as people think.

I think that the DP input really made it a crapshoot and FFC just liked what the GH boys did
I mean that scene - weird - I can imagine I would have let the windows blow on purpose and lit it up about 5 stops
Or kept the windows and had the rest silhouette
Basically practical lamps reading aginst daylight just looks terrible to me anyway

Actually I was secretly rooting for the GH2 - but never expected it to win. I remember writing a blog entry on this last year, not many people liked that I picked the GH2 and 600D over bigger cameras.
I picked the Red Epic, Alexa and F3 - in that order. What did you guys pick?

Sorry for the late reply to this thread but I'm just getting into motion and furiously researching, absorbing and watching as much as I can. Great post and makes you realise how very talented people can have such differing views on what is the most import tool, camera, lens or lighting and how closely all these different cameras perform. Not having the A-B comparison between cameras would make spotting the big boys even harder and any camera (maybe not iPhone as it looked terrible) could be used to great effect.
My biggest shock however was considering all that talent rolling around the set and the quantity and quality of the lighting available, that all teams illuminated the scene in pretty much the same way and to my eye from my photographic background shooting interiors was totally unnatural. There is no way on such a bright day, in a room of that size with large windows would the internal lighting look so contrasty with such deep strong shadows.... impossible. The interior was more like a moody night scene than (judging by the exterior lighting colour temperature) shot midday on a bright sunny day.
trying to think of something meaningful........ Err?

You cant say that, anyone with ASC after their name is a god and you, even if you have been lighting interiors for two or three decades, know nothing
Actually I totally agree

Well, to really push the capabilities of the cameras, they needed to create scenes that had greater contrast ranges than what a "natural" interior might feel like. What's funny is this thought that's been kicking around my head lately...
I've been lighting interiors for twenty years... and I would advise anyone who wanted to follow in my footsteps to go to Film School. Some of the kids I've been working with on our short films (who are fresh out of school) know more about the tools and the mechanics of shaping light than many of the seasoned still photographers I know.
I'm beginning to feel as though I've barely begun to learn to light.
At least I'm having fun along the way

One thing I have never had with stills is a fresnel or sharp focusable light (beyond an Elly with a snoot) .. does open up some thought processes for kind of sneaking light around or onto stuff
Ive got some little dedos for iflming and they are interesting .. Im certainly a bit lost with such hard sources
They also work over a long range which is interesting and new to me

Hard light rules. Soft light is for pussies. : ) KIDDING!
I just can't get my head around lighting with flash. I can't understand how you can light creatively with light you can't see. So-called "modelling lights" are a poor approximation, IMHO. Shoot-and-chimp the same. No real feedback. A three-light strobe setup seems to be about as many as you can visualize. With continuous light, with three we're just getting started.
Morgan, go buy or rent a couple of instruments and see how you like it. A Mole 1K fresnel is found on virtually every film set and is a great place to start. They can do pretty much anything. Used, they're an excellent investment.
The LTM Pepper is another great little tool in the 200W range. Cheap, durable and flexible.

Having watched both parts it's pretty apparent what the lesson is: "Good lighting can make any camera look good enough." The fact that an iPhone was included in the "test" demonstrates this quite clearly.
A proper test of the
would have restricted all cameras to the same lighting setup. This was really a lighting demo, not a camera demo. The producer (the person actually paying for the camera) really needs to know how long these re-lights took.
The interviews with the various cameramen were worth the time spent viewing. Very enjoyable and enlightening. Especially germane are the points related to photographic risk-taking: "If you're not taking risks, you're not growing. If you're not growing, you're dying."

It's just a matter of experience. We're so comfortable with strobes that we'll light a chair with a dozen of 'em and have a damn good idea what each is gonna do before we pull a "polaroid." Once you've got the Zen Vibe going they can be tuned so much finer than hot-lights can. I use Profoto D1's and they can be varied in 1/10th stop increments. Try getting that kind of adjustment from a fresnel!
Mind you, I came from about 10 years of shooting hot lights before I bought a single strobe.
These days we mix it up quite a bit. A lot of the interiors spaces I shoot happen to balance out around 4200k. We have to gel everything we bring, so I have no issues mixing my sources. On a typical interior, I'll probably have a couple Joker 800 HMI's through silks, strobes bounced here and there (sometimes in a soft box), my Kino Diva in tight spots that need fill and will use my DedoLights for accents.
It's kinda fun bouncing back and forth through sources, feeling them all out. Right now my favorite is an ETC Source 4 can, converted for use with the Joker. We call 'em Jo-Leko and he is a CANON!

It ought to be true, but after a while you get a sixth sense for how it is going to look. Modern strobe units are extremely bright. They fire at intensity controllable AND REPRODUCIBLE SHOT TO SHOT better than 1/10th of a stop over a 6+ stop range just by twiddling a dial. You can read each light separately with a flash meter, which soon helps educate you what each light is doing, and you just get to learn what each of your light shapers does. The flash meter is your friend :-) but after a while you stop even needing that as anything more than a double check.
The killer feature though is that the light is very bright and fires SO quickly. With a leaf shutter lens on my 'blad and a Hensel portable battery flash kit, I can literally carry enough light in one hand that I can stand in a desert and overpower the noon day sun by four stops for 200 shots, or freeze action with flash durations sub 1/1000th, and make sure I can always shoot at f/8 or f/11 for optimum sharpness of the lens if I so desire. Try doing that with a continuous light. You'd need fixtures the size of a truck, and another truck to carry the generator to power it, and another truck to carry the petrol to fuel it :-)
And the cost would be astronomical compared with the price of a decent strobe setup. There simply isn't a continuous light technology that delivers light that bright from fixtures that small, cheap, robust and cool.
In principle, what you see is what you get is a very powerful way to work. But you don't actually get what you see with your eyes on camera even for motion- you get what the lighting looks like once it has been through the camera's gamma curve, colour response and so on. I need to chimp at the monitor to fine tune my light with continuous lighting too because it doesn't always register the same as it looks to my eye. Admittedly I have a lot more practice with strobes, but when you know what you are doing, lighting with strobes is pure pleasure.
Cheers, Hywel.

I hope this doesn't degrade into a pissing match, but...
Sure you can overpower the noon day sun by four stops. But at what distance? And over what area? The "fixtures the size of a truck" you refer to can easily overpower the sun at short distances. They can also light an entire city block for hours at a time with a single unit.
"Horses for courses", as Rob C would say.

Absolutely, horses for courses. If you have the budget and need to light up an entire city block for video shooting, of course continuous lights are a great way to go.
If you don't have the budget, and you are looking to light one or two models and a space around them that's no bigger than a large hall, or you need to be able to do it out of reach of power because you don't have the budget or the logistics for a generator truck flash is your man.
Stills photographers tend to work in smaller units than film or TV crews. I think that's partially because the portability of stills gear, including flash lighting, allows it. Sadly, my moviemaking has to be done on a budget in line with a typical stills shoot (a few thousand pounds for several days on location) rather than a typical movie shoot (a few million pounds :-)
Which is why I'm quite attached to the possibilities flash lighting opens up. On my budgets, I can go places and shoot things which would otherwise be out of my reach. I have to tone down my aspirations when shooting moving pictures, especially when it comes to the degree of control and the degree of portability. I've got a nice set of high-end multi-colour LED panels, some redheads and fresnel tungstens and a whole bunch of bounce and fill reflectors it does a good job indoors, but outdoors is tricky. It does leave me wishing for the same power and control I have in the little Hensel porty flash bags! So maybe that explains why those of us coming from a stills background are very comfortable with (and attached to) our flash lighting kit! :-)
Cheers, Hywel.

Force India team principal Vijay Mallya has hailed Paul di Resta following his good start to the season, saying he's "pushing the team on".
Di Resta picked up 20 points in the first four races of the campaign and his best display in F1 came in Bahrain last time out where he was unlucky not to claim his maiden podium.
"Looking at our drivers, the performances of Paul di Resta confirm just how much he has matured as a driver," Mallya said.
"He's delivering consistently every week and we are reaping the rewards of all his hard work. He suffered a difficult end to the 2012 season, but he's shown great mental strength and determination to regroup over the winter and recapture his best form. He's pushing the team on and demanding the best from everyone, which is what we need."
Di Resta's team-mate Adrian Sutil made a good return to Formula One after a year out as he finished seventh in Australia, but things haven't really gone his way since then.
"Adrian Sutil has also shown his speed so far but the luck has not gone his way," Mallya said. "The last two races have been very frustrating because he's been the victim of other drivers' mistakes. Without these incidents he would surely have scored well in both China and Bahrain. His race pace in Bahrain was remarkable because he was one of the fastest cars on track."
Next up is the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona and Sutil is optimistic that he will be able to challenge the front-runners.
"I know Barcelona really well from all the testing we've done there over the years. It is important, after three difficult races without points, to finish the race without any incidents. If I do that, I should have the pace to be among the front-runners.
"I have to do my job, avoid mistakes and hopefully my luck will change. Wherever we have gone so far, the car has been competitive, so the next few races should see us scoring points and close to the podium."

Template:Royalty infobox Arveleg I (T.A. 1309 - 1409, died aged 100) was the eighth king of Arthedain, succeeding his father, Argeleb I, in 1356 when he was killed by evil men from Rhudaur.
With the help of Cardolan and Lindon, Arveleg avenged the death of his father by driving back the forces of Angmar from the Weather Hills. After that there was a short peace in Arthedain with Arthedain and Cardolan keeping a watchful guard along the Great East Road, the lower Hoarwell and the Weather Hills. It was during that time that Rivendell was besieged by the Witch-king's forces.
In 1409 a great host came out of Angmar, crossing the river to enter and ravage Cardolan and to surround Weathertop. In this battle the tower of Amon Sûl was destroyed, the Dúnedain were defeated, and Arveleg was slain. Luckily, in the retreat to Fornost the palantír was saved.
Arveleg ruled for fifty-three years and was succeeded by his 18 year old son, Araphor, upon his death in 1409.

This is a very special recipe to all in the extended KosherEye family. It is an heirloom, a recipe passed on from my mother and her sisters. It is a savory cookie – an easy to make cousin of a bialy and is delicious plain, or with a shmear of cream cheese. Some call it tzibeleh pletzel, some tzibeleh kuchen – we call it a delicious food memory redux.
1 very large onion, diced4 cups plain flour, unbleached2 teaspoons baking powder1 ½ teaspoons salt or to taste2 teaspoons poppy seeds (divided)1 egg, lightly beaten1 cup water1 cup oil
Preheat oven to 350 degreesCombine onions, egg, water and oilCombine flour, poppy seeds, salt and baking powderWith hands, mix wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. (Over mixing will result in tough cookies)Make balls approximately 1 ½ " in sizeFlatten with rolling pin to approximately 1/4 -1/2 " thicknessPrick each cookie with a forkTop with reserved poppy seeds
Place cookie on a greased (parchment covered) baking pan—Bake 20-30 minutes or until goldenMakes about 20-24 cookies
A Note from baking historian and cookbook author Arthur Schwartz:"These will never become crisp, no matter what temperature you bake them, how long you bake them, or how thin you roll them. The moisture of the onions will eventually soften them up, even if you manage to get a little snap in them when they come from the oven. Indeed, these taste best straight from the oven or, at least, reheated. I brought mine back to their prime by putting them on a baking sheet for 10 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven." Cool on a wire rack while still on the pan. Best when used the same day but keeps well when kept in a tightly closed container.
If you would like to cook like a Jewish baker, we recommend the book Secrets of a Jewish Baker by George Greenstein, a second-generation baker, who baked on Long Island for many, many years. The book was his retirement project.
