I am posting this here for Greg just so it can get more attention. You can find out more info on our Facebook page or by contacting Greg below. If you haven't come out yet to help with course work this would be a great way to get involved that will have a tremendous impact. The neighborhood and City of Atlanta have been really supportive of our efforts in getting the course installed. This is just a great way to give back.
I have committed to running 2 nights worth of 1 hour sessions of intro to disc golf for the City of Atlanta Camps at Perkerson Park. The campers are middle and high school students and we will provide the equipment (John Ritger will supply disc). The dates are as follows:
Monday, July 16th
Group 1- 10 kids from 6:40 PM- 7:40 PM
Group 2- 10 kids from 7:40 PM- 8:40 PM
Wednesday , July 18th
Group 3- 10 kids from 6:40 PM- 7:40 PM
Group 4- 10 kids from 7:40 PM- 8:40 PM
I figure each group can be broken down into 2 five-somes and I need a willing and patient disc golfers to assist me in running the groups
Please let me know if you can be available. If we get more instructors we can break it down to smaller more manageable groups! I can't do this alone so step up!

repetitive / theme
Repetition is the concept of forging difference within the heart of the same; repetitive is a quality of a work. To be repetitive is to enjoy the same gesture over and over again, to commit to a style or a lick or a riff or a stroke or a beat. It is to find one moment so thorough, so pleasurable, so appropriate that it is beckoned with each breath, with each emerging moment.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

First impressions are important, because you only get one chance to make them. And, while you want to wow, you also don't want to feel like you're trying too hard. Which is why today's Louis Vuitton show was so vital for Nicolas Ghesquière, as it was his maiden voyage at the LVMH helm. Needless to say, his enthusiasm and gratitude were reciprocated by the crowd after a parade of spot-on looks that were exactly what first-impression gold is made of: sophistication that doesn't feel overworked.
Lacquered black pants, jackets, and dresses set the standard for fall leather pieces. Patchwork layers in denim blues and dusty greens added dimension to sweater-and-leggings looks paired with rich caramel-colored coats and turtlenecks to match. And, one particular skirt silhouette — a mini with an exposed zipper and pocket on the left hip — was offered in a range of colors and prints from beautifully anemic neutral to wallpaper floral. Come fall, women in Ghesquière's clothing will evoke the same powerful-yet-practical, confident-yet-subtle tone as this inaugural collection. Until then, we'll just have to keep flipping through the pics for inspiration.

Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
I just found this on my RSS feeds just now. Wacam just released a new product: an actual pen that records your pen movements when you draw on paper, creating vector drawings for your sketches which can be transferred to your computer when you get home.
Now, this just barely came out hours ago, and I haven't seen real-life examples of this in action yet. But still, exciting if this product works well.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
That... is... incredible.
An amazing invention! This will catch on with artists as fast as anything I can imagine. Thanks for posting this.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
I'm curious though how expencive it is. It could be as awesome as the cintiq and still preclude a number of poor artists just because of price.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
I think the main strength of this device is that you don't have to scan your work to bring it into the computer. So the price tag would probably be okay seeing as how much time it could save you, in particular if you are the type of person that takes sketches directly from a sketchbook and finalizes them often, which for me isn't really the case. My sketchbook is just for ideas. For process I draw on paper that's bigger and easier to scan.
I would be interested in seeing how this device performs once it's released in September though: what the range of the receiver is (i.e. page size), accuracy of line quality, line thickness, etc.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
Thanks for posting this when you did, Glen. Looks like we were the first among the industry centric sites to feature the news thanks to you.
AWN has a long article about Wacom's Inkling that they published today.
Looks like it'll be sold for $199 US.
Wacom's Inkling Captures Pen-On-Paper Drawings
By Rick DeMott
August 31, 2011
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 30, 2011 -- Today, Wacom introduces Inkling, a new digital sketch pen that captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling bridges the gap between paper sketching and digital drawing by giving users at the front end of the creative process a way to rough-out ideas with real ink on paper and capture their concepts digitally so that they can be later refined on their computer. Inkling even allows users to create layers in the digital file while sketching on paper in the following creative software applications: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro.
Spontaneous and Liberating
Virtually anyone who uses sketching to capture their creative ideas and wants to have their drawings in a digital format to e-mail, archive or further refine on their computer can benefit from Inkling. For example, artists, illustrators, or storyboarders who appreciate the convenience, speed and spontaneity of loosely sketching their ideas on paper could profit from the capabilities of Wacom's Inkling digital sketch pen. In everyday use, a graphic designer could use Inkling to create rough concepts on paper for a new advertising campaign and then review and share these concepts on the computer with colleagues during a brainstorming meeting later that day. The pen and receiver store and recharge in a compact case making it easy to transport inkling between home, office, hotel or any typical workspace.
"Inkling's inspiration comes from a desire to give artistic people the freedom to draw on paper and to provide an easy way to transition the drawings to digital media," said Don Varga, Director of Professional Products at Wacom Technology Services Corp.
Inkling Specifics
The Inkling digital sketch pen is comprised of both hardware and software components. Hardware includes both the pen and a wireless receiver that captures a likeness of the sketch and stores it digitally. The ballpoint pen uses Wacom's pressure sensing technology (1024 levels of sensitivity) to detect how hard the pen is being pressed to the paper while sketching. These pressure variations will appear in the digital version of your drawing. "Through its pressure sensitivity, Inkling captures the varied line weights created by the ink pen," adds Varga.
The receiver can be clipped to the edge of standard paper or sketchbooks and the position can be adjusted for left or right handed users to provide the receiver with an uninterrupted line of sight with the pen tip. When sketching is complete, the receiver is connected to the user's computer via USB to transfer the digital files. Files can be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete or add layers as well as to change formats and transfer the files for adjustment and editing in creative software applications.
Inkling can store thousands of sketches and export layered files directly to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (CS3 or newer), as well as Autodesk Sketchbook Pro (2011). Alternatively, files can be saved in JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, SVG and PDF formats for use with other applications. According to Varga, "Inkling's support of raster based applications such as Adobe Photoshop, as well as vector based applications such as Adobe Illustrator, will provide users with options for incorporating their preliminary sketches into further developed work."
The Ideal Companion for Intuos and Cintiq
Users of Wacom Intuos pen tablets and Cintiq interactive pen displays gain extra firepower by adding an Inkling to their creative arsenal. "For those working with our professional products, the pen is already their input tool of choice," continued Varga. "Inkling can deliver an immediate ROI to these users by delivering an accelerated and more mobile workflow resulting in digital files that can easily and quickly be transferred to their home or office computer and redrawn using the Intuos or Cintiq pen."
Availability and Pricing
Inkling ($199.00 USD) will be available online at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) and the Wacom Store (http://www.wacom.com/store) beginning in the latter half of September.
About Wacom

Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
Well, AWN's article is Wacom's press release. I'm intrigued, but I think I'll wait for some product reviews before placing an order. I've got my fingers crossed, because it looks pretty cool.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
Another thing that I'm wondering, (well two really) is what if someone runs out of ink? is there little ink cartrages for the physical pen? Also what if someone wants to switch materials from time to time or even doesn't use ball point pen? Is there going to be refills for pencil, blue pencil, colored pencil, etc?
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
Looks like there's ink refills for the pen from what I see in the container it's stored in. I'm sure that refills would be available from Wacom and it wouldn't be a problem to order them once you ran out of what they initially supply.
I doubt if any other device would work other than the pen they provide. Like using anything else besides the proper stylus on a tablet or a Cintiq.
None of those concerns would prevent most artists who are interested in this from buying it and trying it out including myself. It looks like a fascinating invention. We'll see how it performs once it's made available for purchase.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
To underscore the emerging popularity of this device, the promotional video is number two on YouTube's most viewed videos for today. It had a few views when Glen posted this, now it's at 896,773 in just three days.
There's more video available as well. This shows how to set up the device for use.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
The pen needs to be charged, so there's the answer to why no other drawing device will work with it.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
A demonstration of how the pen is used in conjunction with the receiver.
Re: Inkling by Wacom: Pen on paper, digitized on the fly.
This will help answer questions about how the ink cartridge is replaced.
Here's video that explains how the software is set up on a PC...
And on a Mac...
This video shows what a user can expect to see once the drawings are transferred to a computer.

Now after that thought I got an even better idea for an instructable. Let's face it sometimes we forget our girlfriend's birthday, that of our parents, somebody's christmas present... and we have to come up with something that is makeable in one evening and with easy materials. Well here it is! The personalized rubik's cube!
During this instructable I'll be making the companion cube but I will also show you how you can add your own family pictures, favorite game, tv-show... anything you want to be on the rubik's cube.
Now let's go to step 1 What will you need.
Note: English is not my first language so if you encounter any spelling mistakes in this instructable please leave a comment and I will remove the mistakes.
Note2: Excuse me if some of these steps in the tutorial are to "Well duuuuh we are not idiots". I'm used to teaching 8-9 year olds so it kind of grows on you.
Step 1: What you will need:
- Photoshop CS4 (you can get a trail version here: www.adobe.com/nl/products/photoshop/photoshop/)
- if you don't want to use photoshop, paint can also work but it's not coverd in this instructable.
- Self-adhesive lamination sheets.
- A sharp knife
- A metal ruler
- Double sided tape
- Normal tape (optional)
- piece of wood to cut on/ cuttingboard (so you don't ruin your desk)
- scissors (not shown in picture)
Note: Don't worry if you can't use photoshop CS4, were not going to do anything hard with it and the steps are explained using screenshots
or wasting time and patience on paint, you can also use GIMP. Its a free, photoshop-like program that has most of the functions as photoshop, and ITS FREE!!! You can easily download it off the internet and it is completely safe. Just search GIMP on Google. I just wanted to recommend that also, BTW, great tut. . .
And because I can't work with it I didn't give any instructions on GIMP.
So if visitors want to follow the instructions I just advice them to get the photoshop trial version instead of letting them try on their own with GIMP.
But I'm sure that the people who know how to work with GIMP will use that program instead of photoshop already ;)
So thank you for the suggestion and comment :)
It's good for 30 days and will give you enough time to make all the templates with pics of family and friends you want :)
Also you can save them at that moment as a .jpeg this way even when your trial expires you can still print them with windows picture viewer :)
I love it that you took a different concept to it. That was the reason I put that step in :)
the hearts a different color...1 is red, others are pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow
How did you handle the squares around the heart? Did you make the little pink stripes change color to?
Well if you have the file saved I would be delighted to add it to the instructable and I'm sure other members would like to see it as well. Ofcourse you will be properly credited.
Let me know what you think :)
If you have the time to shop it, sure I would love to see it :)
i know intrucables people don't believe in buying things, but they do sell a kit on rubiks website that lets you print your cube
one thing you MIGHT want to try is using Decoupage to attach the new squares
or paring that use sticker paper in your printer
Oh and if you liked it, please rate :)
Nah to tell you the truth it was around 11.10 AM I think. I live in Belgium Europe. The time is GMT+1 here.
thanks for viewing :)

In announcing the Affordable Excellence initiative at Roger Williams University in October 2012, President Don Farish launched this President's Blog as a key tool in starting a broad conversation, both on campus and beyond, on access to and affordability of American higher education.
For the past 18 months, I have made numerous posts wherein I have described my reactions to seeing the gradual disintegration of both the public and private models of higher education, in a manner akin to watching a slow-motion train wreck.
Well, the rate of disintegration is increasing. The slow-motion train wreck is speeding up. Consider five categories of evidence from the news media in recent weeks:
(1) The gap between the wealthy privates and everyone else is becoming a chasm.
My claim in my blog post of Oct. 15, 2013, that, in some respects, the wealthy colleges and universities seem more like investment companies that do a little teaching on the side now seems more prophetic than ever. Two recent articles make the case.

Pacific Northwest Get Together
Pacific Northwest Get Together
On Friday, February 4th, the Pacific Northwest Region of Alumni got together for an event in honor of the Winter Work students in the area. A few students were unable to attend, but the turnout was great: Rachel Walker and Conor O'Sullivan (both at Vigor Marine in Tacoma), Matt Groff and Jack Oczeretko (both at Westport Yachts in Port Angeles), Ben Fisher (at Elliott Bay Design Group), and Lee Boltz (at Crowley/Jensen Maritime Consultants).
Matt and Catherine Tedesco were kind enough to host the event at their lovely home on the Elliott Bay waterfront and to provide countless delicacies to everyone's great enjoyment. The Webb Alumni in the area who could attend took turns with the students sharing tall tales of winter work experiences past and recent, and much fun was had by all. The Pacific Northwest Region has established a new tradition with this event and are already looking forward to next year.

Ninja has come a long way. This sweet dog was one of 50 rescued by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement agents last summer from a dog fighting ring in the Bronx. Ninja suffered in terrible conditions in the dingy, dark basement of an apartment building, rarely seeing the light of day. When we rescued her, she was extremely underweight and suffered from infections to her skin and paw. We got to her just in time, transporting her to a temporary facility to begin her recovery.
Now Ninja is healthy and thriving with her adoptive pet parent, Samara Lynn, in Midtown Manhattan.
"I wanted a dog for some time," Samara says. "I went to the ASPCA a few times and finally when I saw Ninja and her size and temperament, I knew she was perfect. I waited about two weeks to think about it. I finally thought, someone must have adopted her already, but when I went back, she was still available. We picked each other."
Staff at the Adoption Center warned Samara that Ninja might be a bit skittish with all the traffic and noise of New York City. But over time, she has adjusted.
"We live in Midtown Manhattan and she loves walking and jogging with either me or my boyfriend," Samara says. "She also really enjoys meeting all the new people and dogs out for walks."
She is also a fast learner. After just a month, Samara taught Ninja to walk on a leash, heel, sit, stay, give paw and other tricks.
"She is very smart, sensitive, and very aware and is the only dog I have ever had that pays acute attention when another dog is on television," Samara says.
We're thrilled that this special and talented dog has a second chance at life in such a loving home.

Some days, it can be a real drag to live in L.A. — we constantly battle Carmaggedon, skeezy social-climber types, and well, actually…maybe there's not too much else to complain about. Either way, if you ask any fellow Angeleno to spill their top 10 reasons for living here, we're guessing 99 percent would have the great outdoors slotted near the top. So, as the mercury rises, we're here to help you maximize your time in the sunshine.
Because, let's be honest: Dining indoors is a lot like shopping with your sunglasses on — the tastes and smells simply aren't as enjoyable inside four walls. And since we know you like to do some (okay, most) of your planning on the fly, we made a handy-dandy list of the most appealing al fresco eateries in all the Southland. Print this out, stash it in your glove compartment, and we swear, once you have a glass of vino in hand, your daily traffic combat will seem like a distant memory.

1/2 cup
1 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/3 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon

3 tablespoons
butter, softened
3 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
These brownies are magnificent!!! I mean "melt in your mouth" and I didn't even make the frosting. I doubled the recipe and it still won't be enough. There are a few tips that will ensure your brownies are not cakey. I do not use a mixer because you can overmix your batter and whip too much air into the eggs. This makes your brownies have a cakey texture. Mix everything by hand in a bowl and lightly beat your eggs before adding them to the mixture. Gently stirring everything together makes them turn out better as opposed to franticly beating the mixture. Hope this helps, because I will NEVER buy brownie mix again.
What comes to mind? Hard...chewy...
These brownies...
What comes to mind? Soft...cakelike...
These were baaaaad.......why must all these brownie recipes result in cake squares? I wish I could say different for this supposedly "best brownie" recipe, but I can't. If you are looking for the traditional delicious brownie Grandma used to make, run, run away and never come back!
These were just like a cake. Be aware: These are not the BEST brownies...these are the BEST cake squares.

I doubled the recipe and made a 9x13 pan of these brownies for a party, and everybody loved them! I also entered them in my local county fair and won first place. The problem with the frosting is that you need to halve the amount of powdered sugar and melt the butter. This makes a glaze that you can spread on top. It hardens into a beautiful, shiny frosting. I thought some of the info in the reviews was conflicting, so here's the scoop: 1. These are neither "cake" brownies nor "fudge" brownies; they fall somewhere in between. If you must have one or the other, then this recipe is not for you. 2. Yes, the frosting is sweet. If you like frosting, then add it, if not, leave it off. 3. Yes, these are homemade brownies and do not taste like boxed brownie mix. I can't understand why anyone would prefer a mix to homemade, but if that's your thing, then stick with the mix.
These are great! I changed the recipe to make them better for you. I used 1/2 c. applesauce instead of butter and 1/2 cup Equal spoonfuls and 1/2 cup sugar instead of 1 cup sugar and used egg substitute and omitted the glaze. They ended up with only 45 calories apiece and 0 grams of fat! they were SOOOO GOOOD!!! :-)
These were the BEST BROWNIES even without the frosting. Just don't OVERBAKE/OVERMIX. When doubling, leave out one egg, keep the amount of salt at 1/4 tsp, and bake for 30-35 mins. You'll get a cakey on the outside, fudgey in the middle brownie. Delish!
Wonderful little brownie! Not too thick, not too thin, just right! Comes together and into the oven in less than 5 minutes. I added about 1 additional T. of cocoa. Just mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon in the same pan as you melted the butter, about 50 strokes, just until good and combined. The frosting is glossy and smooth if you melt the butter first and add about 1 T. each of corn syrup and half and half. Cutting these with a plastic knife, even the disposable tableware variety, works great! Cuts cleanly, and not a crumb sticks to the knife. Had to try 3 of the brownies as soon as they were cooled, just to be triply sure they were good.
Worth a try, very easy recipe yielding above average brownies. When the recipe
says not to overcook, don't...depending on your oven 25 minutes is probably long
enough. They may not look done, but they continue to cook/settle when removed.
Also, I had to add an egg to the frosting recipe because I ended up with chocolate
sawdust without it (even using electric blender). Some folks also mentioned adding
milk (1 Tblsp ?) because of this which would also work I'm sure.
These are the BEST!!! I never made homemade brownies before and these came out PERFECT! They're fudgy and delicious, the icing is sooooo good too! I took the advice of one reviewer and heated the icing..it was perfect! I made them for a 4th of July picnic and they were a HUGE hit! They were gone in 15 minutes. Everyone loved them and asked me for the recipe! I doubled the recipe to fit a 9X13" pan. They were GREAT! Even if you're not a very good cook, these brownies will come out delicious! I recommend them to everyone! I'll never make brownies from a box again!

The man behind the soundtrack to your childhood brings his newest — and best — solo work to Noise Pop
LEFT OF THE DIAL To an '80s baby, at this point, calling Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete a cult favorite is a little like thinking your childhood love of The Labyrinth or The Neverending Story is somehow quirky or unique — it goes without saying that they're excellent, but we're gonna need a lot of Kool-Aid: These are some pretty big cults we're dealing with.
Which doesn't mean, of course, that there wasn't an air of "giant secret club meeting" at the Sketchfest Pete & Pete reunion that took place at the packed Marines Memorial Theater in 2013. That live show marked, I will admit, the first time I realized how crucial a role music had played in constructing the show's singularly surreal, hilarious, kid-centered universe. I'd had the show's jangly, irreverent theme song, "Hey Sandy," on my iPod for years, and had read about how Polaris — the show's own house band — was a sort of one-off project for members of the early-R.E.M.-era college-rock band Miracle Legion, which dissolved under a heated label dispute; the show's creators were simply fans of that band and asked lead singer Mark Mulcahy to chime in. I knew both acts were driven by bright, breezy guitar riffs and Mulcahy's distinctive, sometimes erratic, Lou Reed-esque vocals.
But it wasn't until hearing Mulcahy sing a few songs from Polaris' oeuvre live that — enamored, nostalgic, weirdly emotional — I went home and promptly dove headfirst into his solo work, of which there are four complete albums. If you want to work backward, Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You, released in July of last year after a nearly eight-year hiatus, is a beautiful starting point. It's a moody, introspective, but clear-thinking and meticulously arranged record, stamped all over with the Mulcahy trademark: Lyrics that veer toward magical realism, the intonation of a less-goofy Jonathan Richman, gently dark witticisms that don't quite make sense but you understand their feeling in your bones, bleak stories that don't really seem autobiographical, but then — who can be sure?
Mulcahy can, but he doesn't owe us an explanation. The gentlest, happiest track on the record, "The Rabbit," — on which the songwriter sweetly confesses "I'm a sucker for magic/where's the rabbit?" — is punctuated with sleigh bells; it's the sound of an artist almost surprising himself with how much hope and curiosity he still has for the world. That's followed by "Where's the Indifference Now?," a bitingly cynical guitar opus about the media's vulture-like coverage of Heath Ledger's death. ("You could apply it to Philip Seymour Hoffman now, I guess," says Mulcahy.) If he often deals in surrealism, his gift is in the human honesty of that contrast, the recognizable sense of home base in the space between those moods.
"I was home most of the day, it's a snow day," is the first thing he says, however, when, after a bit of phone tag, I finally reach him at the Massachusetts home he shares with his two young twin daughters. "I'm looking out the window right now at snow, just as far as you can see...so it's a bit strange to be thinking about playing in San Francisco [for Noise Pop]."
One reason for the extended hiatus: In 2008, Mulcahy's wife passed away quite suddenly, and he's been raising the kids on his own ever since. A tribute album to help raise money for the family, Ciao My Shining Star (named for a line in the obituary Mulcahy wrote her), was arranged almost entirely without his knowledge and released in 2009, with artists who happen to be Mulcahy fans — folks like Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, Dinosaur Jr., Frank Black, The National, Elvis Perkins, and Juliana Hatfield — performing Mulcahy's songs.

Lunch Lady Sloppy Joes
Let's talk dinnertime, shall we? More often than not I find myself in a bit of a struggle with dinner. Sometimes I just want to eat popcorn and Hershey kisses be done with it. But I have these responsibilities, you know, kids!? 😉 Well, tonight was one of those nights, {no we didn't eat popcorn and kisses}. After working a couple of 12 hour shifts, I was only in the mood to cook something that didn't take a whole lot of thought, time and then leave me with dish pan hands and a sweaty upper lip. So as I started flipping through my ever growing stack of recipes, I was suddenly struck by a memory of a childhood favorite!
First before we move on… let me say that before today this recipe was nameless. My Mom didn't name this, because it was one of those things she made for us kids to use up the leftover sloppy Joe sauce {she's clever like that}. So there I sat, tapping my fingers on my desk, I just couldn't think of what to call this?! I was reminded of an old SNL skit, the one of Chris Farley as the lunch lady, {ya know in Lunch Lady Land?}, singing "Sloppy Joe slop, sloppy Joe with that mole on her/his face! {I hope the song is now stuck in your head as it is mine} And that my friends is how I got the name Lunch Lady Sloppy Joes, hey it's the best I could come up with! But if you can think of a better name… shout it out! I wanna hear it!
Let's get started on the 'sloppy' sauce.
Throw some bacon fat or olive oil into a deep sided skillet.
Finely dice an onion, and I mean fo-ine!
Add them to the bacon fat and cook until soft and translucent, not browned.
Press the garlic cloves into the pan and cook for 1 minute.
Add in the ground round. Mash the meat so it forms small crumbles. My weapon of choice? My mashed potato masher-thingy. Works like a champ!
Add a teaspoon and a half of chili powder. I'm using Ancho… because I lurrrrve it!
Add in about a teaspoon or two of yellow mustard. I go by taste. I know… I'm so one of those.
Add the can of tomato sauce and a small pinch of sugar.
And the worcestershire sauce to taste.
Stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile slice up some green onions.
This is the toughest part of the recipe. Ready? Okay, now carefully remove the mozzarella cheese from the wrappers. Phew.
And place them inside of the hot dog buns. Tough stuff isn't it?
Doesn't this look freaking weird… like white hot dogs! HA. No. Seriously it's delicious.
Next you'll wan to top them with the Sloppy Joe sauce and sprinkle with the green onions. I like to serve them with some Bettermade chips and a Rock & Rye Faygo pop to make the childhood memory complete!
This is a totally fun kid-friendly recipe! My girls ate these up and requested them again the next day! I said "Hecccck naw! Mommy is going to need to eat the rest… now kick rocks kid!" Then I laid a big fat wet sloppy Joe kiss on her cheek.
Totally fun. Totally delicious. You totally see that the proof is in the string!
Lunch Lady Sloppy Joes
Yield: 8 servings
Bacon Fat or Olive Oil, for sautéing
1 pound Ground Round
1/2 a large sweet onion, minced
1 large Garlic Clove
1 {15 oz.} can Tomato Sauce {and a pinch of sugar}

1 to 2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard, to taste

8 Hot Dog Buns, toasted if you're in the mood

Add the ancho chili powder, mustard, tomato sauce, water and a pinch of sugar to the meat mixture. Stir, and then add a few drops of worcestershire sauce to taste. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Makes roughly 4 cups {so there will be leftovers!}.

Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity Conservation Section
Aquatic Ecology, Evolution and Conservation
Our research focuses on ecological and evolutionary processes using aquatic systems as models. Research areas range from community ecology to evolutionary ecology, behavioural ecology, genetics, and stress ecology. Our research has societal relevance in relation to the diversity crisis, nature conservation, sustainable development, water and wildlife management, and global change.
Biodiversity and Evolutionary Genomics
Research focuses on various aspects of vertebrate diversity, with special attention to evolutionary genetics/genomics and speciation, parasitology, fish ecology and systematics, and bioarcheology. Whenever possible we use complementary approaches at the genetic, phenotypic, ecological and environmental level to support our findings. We run a medium-throughput genotyping laboratory and have expertise in bioinformatics and biostatistics.
Socioecology and Social Evolution
We study the factors that drive social behavior, and use social insects as model system. Aside from basic research we also study applied questions relating to honeybee diseases, swarm intelligence and evolutionary robotics. Among the techniques we use are video-assisted behavioural observation, pheromone bioassays, modeling, analysis of kinship patterns and microarray and RNAseq expression analysis.
Plant Conservation and Population Biology
We aim study the dynamics of wild plant populations and their interactions with both the abiotic environment and with mutualists such as pollinating insects and mycorrhizal soil fungi. We value the societal relevance of our work in an era that is confronted with increasing anthropogenic impact on biodiversity through habitat fragmentation, eutrophication and global warming. Techniques we use include pollination experiments, demographic modeling, neutral genetic markers and genomic approaches.

San Diego Air & Space Museum selects
San Diego Air & Space Museum selects
San Diego, 11.16.2009
On November 21, the San Diego Air & Space Museum is honoring national and international air & space legends at its 46th Hall of Fame Induction and Gala. Each honoree was selected for their historic contributions to aviation, space, or aviation technology.
This spectacular evening attracts numerous air and space legends to San Diego and will honor the "Distinguished Class of 2009": Sally Ride, first woman in space; Sean Tucker, airshow performer; Clay Lacy, founder of Clay Lacy aviation; Lockheed Brother, Lockheed Martin Aircraft Company; Skunk Works, Advanced Development Division of Lockheed The Blue Angels, States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron; Cliff Robertson, pilot, Academy Award-winning screen star as well as founder of the Cliff Robertson Work Experience; WASP, Women Airforce Service Pilots; and Frank Robinson, founder of Robinson Helicopter Company.
Planned for the evening of November 21, 2009 in the San Diego Air & Space Museum Pavilion of Flight, guests join the honorees for an evening of fun and extraordinary recognition, as each attendee is offered an experiential peek into the lives of these living legends.
"We're especially pleased to honor the Class of 2009 because these pioneers have not only pushed back the frontiers of air and space exploration, they've also become strong positive role models for today's youth," said Jim Kidrick, San Diego Air & Space Museum President and CEO. "Aviation and space exploration, as embodied by the people we honor in our Hall of Fame, is a metaphor for the American pioneering spirit. It's a critical part of our legacy as a world technology leader. We must inspire today's kids to tackle the tough science, technology, engineering and math challenges, which lie ahead. November 21st will be an evening San Diegans will remember for a long time, and not want to miss. It's our chance to honor these legends on behalf of every San Diegan."
The San Diego Air & Space Museum's International Aerospace Hall of Fame is composed of hundreds of air and space pilots, engineers, inventors and innovators, along with adventurers, scientists and industry leaders. NASA Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts, and Russian cosmonauts are honored in the Hall of Fame, plus famous flying pioneers such as the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Chuck Yeager. Other notable inductees include Jack Northrop, William Boeing, Reuben H. Fleet, Glenn Curtiss, Walter Zable Sr., Fran Bera, Wally Schirra, T. Claude Ryan, Jimmy Doolittle Jr., Frederick Rohr and Waldo Waterman.
"Inspiring kids to undertake tough science and engineering challenges is only the first step," Kidrick said. "We must also give them the resources they need to complete hard science education majors."
In November 2006, the San Diego Air & Space Museum launched its Hall of Fame Engineering Scholarship endowment fund drive. A part of the proceeds from the November 2009 Hall of Fame Gala Celebration will be used to build this scholarship fund with the goal of providing a full five year engineering scholarship to a deserving San Diego area graduating high school senior.
The Class of 2009
Sally Ride is an American physicist and a former NASA astronaut who, in 1983, became the first American woman and youngest American (at the time) to enter space. Ride was one of 8,900 people to answer an advertisement in a newspaper seeking applicants for the space program. As a result, Ride joined NASA in 1978. During her career, Sally served as the ground-based Capsule Communicator for the second and third Space Shuttle flights. On June 18, 1983, she became the first American woman in space as a crew member on Space Shuttle Challenger for STS-7. Her second space flight was in 1984, also on board the Challenger. She has cumulatively spent more than 343 hours in space. In 1987, Ride left to work at the Stanford University Center for International Security and Arms Control. In 1989, she became a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego and Director of the California Space Institute. In 2003, she was asked to serve on the Space Shuttle Columbia Accident Investigation Board. She is currently on leave from the university, and is the President and CEO of Sally Ride Science, a company she founded in 2001, that creates entertaining science programs and publications for upper elementary and middle school students, with a particular focus on girls.
Sean Tucker is a native of Eagle Rock, California, earned his pilot's certificate at age 17. He has been flying airshows worldwide since the mid-1970s and is considered one of the world's premier airshow performers. Despite once having a fear of flying, Tucker has flown more than 1,000 performances at more than 425 airshows, in front of more than 80 million spectators. More than half of Tucker's maneuvers are original and have never been duplicated by another aerobatic pilot. He currently flies with Team Oracle and pilots the Challenger II biplane. Tucker has also created the Tutima Academy of Aviation Safety, a world-class flight training institution dedicated to setting and spreading the standard for aviation safety in aerobatics and aviation at large
Clay Lacy is the founder of Clay Lacy Aviation, one of the largest corporate jet providers in the country. Clay Lacy Aviation's roots begin in the early 1960's when Clay Lacy and Bill Lear offered the first Learjet available in the Western United States. The Lacy Lear gained instant acceptance and notoriety with the high profile entertainment industry. In 1968 Clay Lacy Aviation incorporated the name and concept of Clay Lacy Aviation. Clay Lacy Aviation operates the largest, diversified, fleet of charter aircraft in the West. Today, Clay Lacy Aviation flies more charter flights than any other West Coast carrier. Clay Lacy was born in 1932 and grew up in Wichita, Kansas, the birthplace of aviation manufacturing. Interested in model airplanes at age 5, Clay built his first flying model in 1940 when he was only 8 years old, and had his first flight at age 12.
Lockheed Brothers & Skunk Works Brothers Allan and Malcolm (who originally spelled their name Loughead) created a series of aviation companies that eventually led to the present day Lockheed Martin Aircraft Company starting in 1912. Incantations of the company would produce some of the most famous aircraft ever to take to the skies, including the Vega, P-38 and Constellation. Skunk Works was the Advanced Development Division of Lockheed which made some of the most technologically advanced aircraft of their or any generation. Included in the Skunk Work's roll call is the P-80 Shooting Star (the first American Jet to record a kill), the U-2 (which can fly at 70,000 feet), the SR-71 Blackbird (which is still the current record holder for a manned airbreathing jet aircraft) and the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter. In 1995 Lockheed merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 to form Lockheed Martin, which is the world's largest defense contractor by revenue.
The Blue Angels are the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron who performed their first flight demonstration in June 1946 at their home base, Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Florida, flying the Grumman F6F Hellcat. Over the past several decades the Blues have flown several types of aircraft, including the Grumman F11F-1 Tiger and the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom IIand the A-4F Skyhawk II. On November 8, 1986, the Blue Angels completed their 40th anniversary year during ceremonies unveiling their present aircraft, the new sleek F/A-18 Hornet, the first dual-role fighter/attack aircraft now serving on the nation's front lines of defense. Since 1946, the Blue Angels have performed for more than 427 million fans and are certainly one of the world's most respected and watched flight team.
Cliff Robertson Robertson is a pilot, Academy Award and Emmy-Award-winning screen star as well as founder of the Cliff Robertson Work Experience, within the EAA. He has owned several de Havilland Tiger Moths, a Messerschmitt Bf 109 and a Supermarine Spitfire. Perhaps he is best known for starring in Charly, an adaptation of Flowers for Algernon for which he won the 1968 Academy Award for Best Actor. Other films included Picnic, Sunday in New York, Autumn Leaves, Too Late the Hero, Three Days of the Condor, Obsession, J. W. Coop, Star 80 and Malone. More recently, Robertson's career has had a resurgence. He appeared as Uncle Ben Parker in the first movie adaptation of Spider-Man, as well as in the sequels Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3. In 1969, Robertson helped organize an effort to fly food and medical supplies to war ravaged Biafra, Nigeria. When a famine hit Ethiopia in 1978, Robertson again organized relief flights of supplies to that country. He's dedicated to helping others experience the joy of flight. Robertson takes an active part in the Cliff Robertson Work Experience Program. Each summer, two youths, 16 or 17 years old, are invited to Oshkosh, through the EAA Air Academy, where they work for ground and flight instruction. The EAA's Young Eagles program began in 1992 with Robertson as its first honorary chairman. In 1999, he helped kick off the EAA's campaign, "Vision of Eagles", a unique set of initiatives designed to educate, motivate and provide direction to young people through aviation-based activities.
Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and the predecessor groups the Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) and the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS) were pioneering organizations of civilian female pilots employed to fly military aircraft under the direction of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. The female pilots would number thousands, each freeing a male pilot for combat service. The WFTD and WAFS were combined on August 5, 1943 to create the WASP organization. Almost every type of aircraft flown by the USAAF during World War II, including the early U.S. jet aircraft, was also flown by women in these roles. Between September 1942 and December 1944, the WASP delivered 12,650 aircraft of 78 different types. Over fifty percent of the ferrying of combat aircraft within the United States during the war was carried out by WASP. Thirty-eight WASP fliers lost their lives while serving their country during the war. The sacrifice and determination that these women showed during World War Two would be a key factor in the eventual integration of women into the Air Force.
Frank Robinson is an engineer and the founder, president and Chief Executive Officer of Robinson Helicopter Company of Torrance, California. He designed the Robinson R22 helicopter, a popular, light, two-place civilian aircraft in the early 1970s. The first production R22 was delivered in late 1979, and the R22 soon became the world's top selling civil helicopter. In addition, the R22 holds most world records in its weight class including speed and altitude. In the mid-1980s, Robinson and his staff of engineers began development of the four-seat R44 helicopter, which he flew on its first flight in March of 1990. FAA certification was received in late 1992, and production deliveries began in 1993. By early 2007, more than 3,000 R44 helicopters had been delivered to over 70 countries, with the R44 becoming even more popular than the two-seat R22. Robinson remains active in his company and continues to refine the R22 and R44 to enhance performance and reduce maintenance requirements. Recent improvements include the more powerful, fuel-injected R44 Raven II. Today, Robinson oversees the company's development of its first turbine helicopter, the five-place R66. The R66 made its first flight on 07 November 2007, and is currently undergoing FAA type certification. Robinson is a recipient of the Howard Hughes Memorial Award from the Southern California Aeronautic Association given "to an aerospace leader whose accomplishments over a long career have contributed significantly to the advancement of aviation or space technology."
The Hall of Fame Gala Celebration is scheduled for Saturday evening, November 21 in the Pavilion of Flight in the San Diego Air & Space Museum.

DJ Almond Brown 'WERKS" the Booth at "Q"
"The DJ is the most vital part of the customer experience," DJ Almond Brown, one of Seattle's most popular spin doctors, told EDGE. "We help define the most recognizable part of a property's reputation with what we present."
"You can have the sexiest, most groundbreaking space, but if you don't have your programming aligned, and people walk away unsatisfied with the music consistently, it's all for naught," continued Almond Brown. Brown is a DJ that has paid his dues, ultimately landing him a regular gig at a nightclub that Beatport.com has listed as having one of the "10 best sound systems in America" in 2012.
If you're a quick study, you will notice that DJ Almond Brown likes to get right to the point. And the point that he is trying to make today is that something is happening to LGBT Seattle nightlife to change it forever. That something is Q.
Q, a new nightclub club that opened for business in Seattle's gay neighborhood of Capital Hill last September, isn't considered to be a gay club. Conversely, it isn't a straight club, either. Q represents a new breed of Seattle nightclubbing; Q provides its customers with an atmosphere where a drag queen can drink with a politician and a business man can chat up a go-go dancer and everyone feels fabulous.
Almond Joy!
Inside Q it doesn't matter what you do outside, what matters most is whom you allow yourself to become once inside. And if DJ Almond Brown has anything to say about it, you will become a serious House-head.
'Baby, I 'Werk' the children when I step in the booth," he told EDGE.
Q boasts a state-of-the-art Funktion One sound system and world-class lighting design. But years of experience (he's been a DJ on and off for over 25 years) has taught Almond that while the place might look great, the DJs, in turn, must be great.
And make no mistake about it - DJ Almond Brown is great!
"The moment you leave the confines of your home to become a club DJ, you have to be prepared to compromise and become less self-facing," he explains. "I'm not trying to educate or patronize my audiences, I'm simply charged with obeying the floor and putting asses on it."
Now is certainly not the time for mediocre skills. Bar and club owners on Capitol Hill have been forced to raise their game as the throngs of Gay men who once filled their venues from wall to ceiling no longer need the bar to get the boy. Due to the advent of mobile phone hookup apps, online dating and hookup sites, and a bad economy that is producing a generation of young men facing chronic underemployment, nightclub promoters have seen lines thin and crowds dwindle. Now, they actually have to work for it. So do the DJs.
Almond says that many Seattle venue owners and club promoters are "forgetting to market the male aged 25-to-45 demographic."
"The definition of what a gay club is, is rapidly changing with the influx of straights," said Almond. "More specifically, straight women."
Almond describes the Seattle DJ scene as "simple yet complex."
"There are so many talented DJs, and there is a history that seemingly connects many of us in some way," said Almond. "It's political, entertaining, and brilliant."
On the other hand, "the market is oversaturated with cats fresh from Guitar Center with a new version of Serato, that don't respect the game's history and legacy," he continued. "It's further worsened by inept, self-proclaimed promoters that are more dedicated to elevating their personality than supporting the music and the genre."

Williams Head of Performance Engineering Rob Smedley has held his hand up after things went horribly wrong for the team in qualifying at Silverstone.
After the highs of Austria where Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas locked out the front row of the grid with the latter finishing P3, it was time for some lows at their home race, the British GP.
Both Massa and Bottas were knocked out in Q1 as the team failed to read the weather and track right during the closing stages of the session.
"We have a good car so it's very disappointing to be in 17th and 18th," Smedley said. "We were trying to mark the people on track but our timings were wrong. We didn't see the rain coming as quickly as it did, but that's not an excuse, it's an error which we can't make again. How we recover tomorrow is important now and getting into the points is still our goal, as we have the car for it and we need to try and get as many points as we can over our closest Championship rivals."
Bottas, though, remains hopeful that they can scrape into the top 10 on Sunday.
"The whole session was unbelievable. We left it too late to go out on the dry tyre so we didn't get the run in as it started to rain again," the Finn said.
"Truthfully we were unlucky it started to rain. We had the pace to get to Q3 so we missed a good opportunity. It's a long race tomorrow and we have a good car so we can still get back into the points, but again the weather will play its part."

This is a great tuner with many options. My 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 felt like it was idling just a bit off for my taste. This tuner fixed it and made it purr like a kitten. I did not really notice any high RPM power improvements however it does accelerate off the line a lot smoother now. This was almost a deal breaker. You have to pay $120 to get a vehicle specific tune vs bama = free AND are there are ZERO options to adjust shift firmness (You have to buy another $260 tuner to do that).

Extra-Bitter Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream
An Extra-Special Chocolate Ice Cream From Michael Recchiuti
If you love chocolate swirl ice cream (and we do), this is as good as it gets. This special ice cream starts with a base of real vanilla ice cream, flavored by the seeds of floral Tahitian beans. The seeds are small enough to pass through the sieve and are dispersed throughout the ice cream, heralding its authenticity. Although it means starting to make the ice cream 2 days ahead of serving, steeping the vanilla in the milk overnight intensifies the final flavor.
That's the only tough part. You use Recchiuti's Extra-Bitter Chocolate Sauce to make the chocolate swirl. Of course, you need to restrain yourself from nibbling away at the jar of sauce, but that can be resolved by purchasing two jars!
Yields: 1 Quart
¹ Tahitian vanilla beans are extremely fragrant and have stronger fruit and floral notes than Mexican or Bourbon varieties.
² You can increase or decrease the amount of chocolate sauce in this recipe depending on your preferences. You can also substitute the chocolate sauce for Recchiuti's Burnt Caramel Sauce or add a handful of Burnt Caramel Almonds. Just about any of your favorite inclusions will go well with this versatile vanilla bean base. If you cannot obtain Recchiuti sauces, substitute another top-quality dessert sauce.
