Eric Church is proving the strength of his contemporary country music with four nominations from the music industry's most prestigious event, the 57th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. The nominations include Best Country Album for "The Outsiders," which blends the artist's appreciation for rock 'n' roll with his country roots. The artist received his first two GRAMMY® nominations for his popular song "Springsteen" in 2012.
Growing up in North Carolina, Church taught himself how to play the guitar after he started writing his own songs at age 13. He has produced four albums since signing his first record deal in 2005. In 2010, he won Top New Solo Vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards and later, his album "Chief" won Album of the Year at the 2012 Country Music Academy Awards. In 2014, Church graced the cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine for the launch of the iconic magazine's country extension, "Rolling Stone Country."

Hunter Hayes has been playing the guitar since he was 2 years old, and performed with Hank Williams Jr. at age 4, so it is no surprise that he signed a publishing deal before the age of 20. The young talented artist not only co-wrote and co-produced his two most recent albums, but also played all 30-plus instruments in his debut album in 2011. Since then, Hayes has received four GRAMMY® nominations, was awarded CMA New Artist of the Year and was the youngest male act ever to top the Billboard Hot Country song chart.
The Louisiana-born musician also is recognized by Guinness World Records for the most live concerts in 24 hours in different cities, with 10 concerts in 10 cities in support of a charitable cause and his newest album, "Storyline." The album followed the GRAMMY® - nominated single "Invisible," which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs.

Harvesting electricity from gravity? Is it possible ?
Since I was kid I watched the world around me going through energy crisis. I was wondering if there was a possibility of producing electricity using "GRAVITY" of planet earth.
I was thinking maybe we could use earths magnetic field, and then placing a conductor and oscillating it. when the oscillations are happening there will be potential difference between two ends and E.M.F is induced.
Are there any other ways of using "GRAVITY" to produce electricity ?
If you have any explanations, Ideas or theoretical possibilities please comment below.
Roy Bourque
Nov 28 2012: Gravity is a force. Energy is a force in motion. A falling object produces energy. Rain produces energy. Gravity is the force that propels whatever is falling. Gravity alone is a stagnant force and produces no energy on its own.

In order to produce electricity, there must be a force in motion behind it. The flow of electricity produces a counter electromotive force. An electric generator requires a prime mover. The more electricity that is drawn from the generator, the more energy the prime mover needs to drive the generator. Energy out can never exceed energy in. That is the fallacy of your suggestion. If an oscillator is used to drive a coil in the earth's magnetic field to produce electricity, it wall always require more power to drive it than the electricity out that can be delivered from the coil.
In order to utilize energy, there must be a flow of energy. Heat is the principle source of energy flow. The sun is the primary source. It drives hydroelectric systems. It produces the power to drive wind mills because it drives the weather system that produces wind. It can power solar panels. It produced the original energy that went into fossil fuels. It provides the energy of biomass fuels. Fossil fuels and biomass is the sun's energy stored in chemical form.
Geothermal is a secondary source of heat. It utilizes the earth's internal heat.
Tidal power is the only power that I know that is produced directly by gravity because it utilizes the moon's gravity to move the tides. But that is because the moon is in motion. The change in gravity is what is creating the energy. There must always be a change and a force driving the change to produce energy.

Electrodynamic tethers do generate more energy than is required to put them in orbit, basically they draw energy from slowing down the rotation of the Earth.
Roy Bourque
Nov 28 2012: Interesting reply.
- +1
However, your example uses the inertia of the earth as its energy source. That's one that I didn't consider.
Gail .
Nov 28 2012: I watched a video recently about how to make electricity using a bicycle. The video then challenged students to create alternative ways to create that energy. One of the things suggested was to use a 2 ton auto jack to life about 500 lbs of weight, and a pulley (plus) system that let the energy be released slowly. The narrator suggest that this will provide about 5 hours of energy before the weight needs to be lifted again - which is easy with a jack.

Of course, water is the easiest way to use gravity to create energy. That's why we have dams

Yes, this is possible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_tether
"Are there any other ways of using "GRAVITY" to produce electricity?"
Hydroelectric dams sort of partially harvest energy from gravity, tidal power turbines sort of get all of their power from gravity. Though you always need stuff that was moving in the first place (like the Moon around the Earth), extracting energy from the gravitational field between two objects that are at rest with respect to each other is not possible.Nov 30 2012: cool but insted how about using it in a very nateral way ,, its much easyer than you cud imagin
Lejan .
Nov 29 2012: Gravity on its own leads into the 'perpetuum mobile' problem, which can't be solved due to the laws of thermo dynamics.
- 0
And even the earth magnetic field can not be 'harvested' as long as we have no 'point of reference' outside this rotating planet.
Even Archimedes ones said of his 'law of the lever': 'Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world'.
Since that time we still haven't found that 'place to stand' but if we would, this was a good point to mount our static coil onto it... :o)
Steve C
Dec 10 2012: "...no 'point of reference' outside..."

But, as scientists claim that gravity can interact with space (stuff), then we can interact with gravity, tweek it, master it.
So we find a place outside, set it there, and start generating.Nov 28 2012: Check out "water wheels"
they are cheep and have been round a Loooong time too!! and then there is the more recent "Tidal action" driven devicesNov 28 2012: Okay John has already noted what came to me when reading Gowtham's comment hydroelectric power is the best example of this.Nov 28 2012: Here's a way, and its based on gravity. Make a glass cylinder about 10 ft long and make two glass bulbs. Put them at the ends, fill one with water then seal the bulbs to the cylinder so air can flow from one at one end through the tube to the other end without being able to escape. Place a fulcrum at the center. Attach a generator to the center with shaft, then place next to a geothermal hot spring. Gravity will force the bulb filled with water down next to the hot spring, the water will evaporate and the gas will travel to the higher bulb which is in cooler air so the water will condense into the bulb. When enough water is condensed, gravity will force that end down into the spring and the process repeats itself. I imagine this would be a very slow process and would not generate a lot of electricity but hey, maybe a similar concept could be up scaled to make it more than just a fun experiment? Probably the slowest generator ever...of all time.
Nov 28 2012: Your contraption would not produce power without the geothermal spring which is the actual energy source.
Nov 28 2012: But without gravity the energy that the spring depends on wouldn't exist, since there would be no planet or magma to draw energy from, and gravity itself keeps this process going, however slowly.
Roy Bourque
Dec 5 2012: Google "Minto Wheel". Mother Earth News did an article on a device called a minto wheel. It operates the same way as your example. Their only flaw is that they didn't calculate and provide for "heat out" which resulted in excess temperatures and pressures being built up in the device. Heat out must always balance heat in if the device is to work on a continuous basis.
- +1
Geothermal energy is already being used in electrical generation in Iceland. I don't know if a minto wheel is any more efficient than any other heat engine. That would have to be calculated if it is to have any merit. Its sheer size would most likely be a disadvantage.Nov 27 2012: Use of water falls, and in a way the ocean as well. The basic idea is to use particles physical movement and convert it into electricity. This can also be applied to wind energy, but if you need an energy source the weak thing like gravity would be able to do much. Nuclear and radiation are the best was of attaining energy, in my opinion.Nov 27 2012: Its a good idea, allthough its probably quite costly for its production I believe... im not so sure. But its awesome anyway.Nov 27 2012: Gravity from electricity itself is largely in the realm of perpetual motion (so, no).
But as already stated, you could harness electricity through other situations effected by gravity such as Dams, and to a lesser extent, friction/motion based energy harnessing.

Yes, your eyes are playing tricks on you. What looks like a mythical treasure one would stumble upon in a storybook tale, is in fact a beautiful eco-friendly combination of reclaimed wood and LED lights. Great Mushrooming is taking inspiration from the world's best designer, Mother Nature, to create these luminous mushrooms whose only magic lies in their ability to charm.
Exhibited at the Design Festa 2010, the Great Mushrooming's work could easily be classified as fine art. Carefully handcrafted from glass, discarded wood and LED lights, the newly-formed fungi's precise details are only cheekily offset by the industrial plastic on/off dial affixed to the side of each lamp. We're struck by how this seemingly odd contrast adds a certain analog appeal to each light.

The AQHA Office is closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.
October 29, 2011
In addition to the six championship races on the Bank of America Racing Challenge Championships card on Saturday night at Los Alamitos, Challenge-enrolled horses had the chance to compete in six undercard races with a purse of $25,000 each.
In the first race of the evening, one of two divisions of the John Deere Stakes for 3-year-olds at 400 yards, Michael Pohl's homebred First Black Wagon held on to win by a nose as the 3-1 second choice. Ridden by Ramon Sanchez for trainer Paul Jones, First Black Wagon picked up his first stakes win and fifth victory overall in eight career starts. The Oklahoma-bred gelding by PYC Paint Your Wagon covered the distance in :19.756.
This marked the fourth win in five Los Alamitos outings for First Black Wagon, who broke his maiden at Remington Park in Oklahoma City. His earnings now stand at $45,538.
Ugo De La Torre's Reina Del Fuego, a filly by Walk Thru Fire, finished a strong second in her stakes debut. Grade 2 winner Fall For It, the 1-2 favorite for owner Brian Hyde, was bumped at the start and closed to take third.
In the AQHA Members Plus Stakes for fillies and mares, Getit Together scored a 28-1 upset for breeder/owner Martha Wells. The California-bred Separatist filly drew clear to win by a half-length and gave jockey Ramon Sanchez the daily double with a 400-yard dash in :19.697.
Trained by Dan Francisco, Getit Together came into the race off a troubled seventh-place finish in the California Breeders' Debutante Stakes (R). Prior to that she showed consistency with a win and a second against allowance foes, and as a 2-year-old she finished third in the Wild West Futurity (R) at Los Alamitos. This victory improved her record to 14-4-2-4 with earnings of $53,755.
Odds-on favorite Azshecanfly, the third-place finisher in this year's Mildred N. Vessels Memorial Handicap (G1), battled all the way to the wire but had to settle for second for owner LJM Ranch LLC. DP Desi Diamond, a 23-1 longshot running for LA Horses LLC, rallied for third.
In the second division of the John Deere Stakes, Brad Lohr's homebred Senor Toby came through with a big effort as the 3-2 favorite. Piloted by Oscar Peinado, the Mighty Invictus gelding crossed the wire 1 ½ lengths in front and stopped the timer at :19.572 for 400 yards.
The Jaime Gomez trainee earned his fourth consecutive victory after breaking his maiden, winning an allowance race and taking the Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap, all at Los Alamitos. The California-bred improved his bankroll to $38,340.
Edward C. Allred's Flare Checking, a 42-1 longshot, finished a clear second with R Chump Change in third for owners Tom Peffer and Becky and Allen Clark.
The Farnam Stakes for older horses at 440 yards went to 9-10 favorite Flaming Out, who prevailed by a half-length with Adrian Loza in the saddle for conditioner Ugo De La Torre. Flaming Out, who is owned by Jose De La Torre, covered the quarter-mile distance in :21.394.
This marked the first stakes victory for Flaming Out, who now has a record of 16-4-3-2 with earnings of $37,863. Bred in California by Ed Allred, the 4-year-old gelding is one of five stakes winners produced by the Master Hand (TB) mare Jetsetting Girl.
Johnny Trotter's homebred Dash Back Perry, who took third in a pair of Grade 1 races last year, finished second and was 1 ½ lengths clear of Reed Pierson's multiple stakes winner Sparky E Boy in third.
In the Markel Stakes for 2-year-olds, Jesus Avila and Jesus Cuevas' Testing The Ice made his stakes debut a winning one as he scored by three-quarters of a length. Ridden by Francisco Rubio for trainer Juan Aleman, Testing The Ice sprinted 350 yards in :17.549 as the 2-1 favorite.
Bred in Arkansas by Corner K Quarter Horses LLC, Testing The Ice broke his maiden in May at Los Alamitos and then shipped to Ruidoso Downs, where he finished off the board in an allowance race and then took third in a trial to the All American Futurity (G1). This victory was worth $11,500 and improved the colt's earnings to $15,830.
Pazazz Quarterhorses Ltd.'s OC City Girl, a First Down Dash filly who broke her maiden last time out, finished a game second with Chickitita in third for owners John Firth and Jeryl Hartley.
The Nutrena Starter Allowance went to LA Horses LLC's Deep Creek Bobbie, who got up to win by a neck with a time of :17.571 for 350 yards. Ramon Guce rode the 5-year-old Mark My Dial mare for trainer Adan Farias. The mare picked up her fourth straight victory after winning three times against $5,000 claiming foes. All told, she has won seven of 25 starts with earnings of $55,014. Deep Creek Bobbie was bred in Utah by Linda Conde.
AR Firestorm took second for owners Victor Gonzalez and Reyes Salcedo, and Gran Special SA finished third for Paul Penuelas and Valentin Zamudio.

Gallery: urbanSHED: Design a Better Sidewalk Shed and Win $10,000!
Heads up all engineers, architects, and designers in NYC! The urbanSHED design competition is looking for a better sidewalk shed, and they're giving away $25,000 in prizes plus the chance to construct the winning design! Anyone who's every visited a dense city is likely to be familiar with these unsightly scaffolded spaces – sure, they may protect your head from falling construction debris, but they tend to be plastered with posters, blot out the sky, and are downright fugly. If you have an idea for a better sidewalk shed that's sustainable, economical, meets safety requirements and makes New York City a better environment for it's residents then submit your design today – there's only three days left to register and submissions are due on October 2nd.

What a crock!
Initially I perceived this competition as a way to implement valid sustainable materials and renewable energy sources. Digging deeper I realized that this is, as they say, like putting lipstick on a pig. After taking a look at the "Photo Gallery" and reading the "Evaluation Criteria" it seems that besides a few small engineering tweaks, there isn't much that needs to be done to the current design (paint it!!) I read that in mid-Manhattan alone there are about 26 miles of sidewalk that are enclosed by approximately 67 sidewalk sheds. As unappealing as the common shed construction may be, it serves its purpose extremely well. If there is a better solution to the current scaffold like construction, wont we be wasting millions even billions of dollars in resources by making the switch to the new design, which will inevitably be vandalized by posters, stickers and krink, just to end up being thrown into the back of a truck to be taken away beaten and battered. Again Bloomberg focusing energy and throwing money at unnecessary issues.

okay, I know there is a program called NoiseNak ( http://www.nakware.com/noisenak ) that does this but I have found it to be a little to bloated for my taste and I was looking for something a little "lighter" (less memory, less cpu usage, simpler feature set)
Here is the basic idea:
-the computer is in the den/study/wherever
-you forget to shut it off or turn down the volume
-you climb into bed on a cold night and are about to fall asleep
-all of a sudden your computer is beeping and making sounds (new email alarms, winamp, media player, web pages etc)
-now you have to wake up and get disturbed (or your kids, wife, etc)
And here is the Solution (if someone can code it!):
-program loads at startup, sits in system tray
-program is small (low memory/cpu) and unobtrusive
-after XX minutes of inactivity (XX should be configurable by user) the master mixer volume is muted
-when user returns and moves the mouse/keybd, sound will return to its previous state
  (notice I said previous state and not necessarily un-muted-- for example if the speaker
  was already muted BEFORE the user went idle, then it should remain muted even after they return)
-the mixer state will be preserved between reboots -- by this I mean that if the computer reboots for some reason in the middle of the night, the user will not be disturbed by loud beeps and noises, so if speaker was muted, then it will still be muted even after next startup. Example of this is sometimes Defrag program needs to reboot computer to do its work, and this may happen at 5am on Saturday morning etc, this way user does not have to be disturbed...
-the tray icon will have several functions also:
  1) double-left click -- toggle program enable/disable (meaning if you disable it, then automatic muting will no longer happen)
     ( if program is disabled, tray icon should indicate this by dimming or changing color, etc)
  2) right click will present a simple menu, like this:
        Configure
        About
        Exit
  3) "Configure" box should have the following settings:
      auto-mute speaker after __XX__ minutes of inactivity
      only un-mute after mouse moves __NN__ pixels (useful for preventing accidental unmuting by cat bumping the mouse when crawling on desk! )
      [ ] (checkbox) do not mute speaker if any of the following programs are running:
...etc.... (user can type their own .exe processes in a box?)
That's about it............. I actually hired someone to write a program like this for me a few years ago but I lost the program and the source code and I was not able to contact the developer........ I have really missed this program ever since!!
what do you think?

Finaly got my 3 from my mom for christmas...Aqua Wake...fantastic, White Bess...fantastic, orange Long...funny looking logos, like the ones at the begining of this thread, but W/E...I'm pretty pleased with them. My biggest gripe was the packaging, a DHL bag inside of a DHL bag, inside of another DHL bag, inside of a brown bag, inside of a gray bag, wrapped in about three rolls of that crazy clear packaging tape...lol.
wieketrade jerseys i got are far better than the nflnhljersesy.com ones. I got a wake orange from there and got bess aqua from nflnhljerseys.com one... both looked very nice but the bess one's logo on the arm is kinda different looking but the wake one from weike looked very good
i'll go back to weike when i get more
I need a Jersery for some X-Mas presents. Gonna try Weiketrade.com...
Can you guys please give me some good sizes for the following body types:
Female: 5'4" / 115 lbs
Male: 5'10" / 215 lbs

Shoeless Joe's case is part of baseball's endless fodder for debate and analysis. Was he the best hitter of his era? Would he have led the White Sox to future World Series championships? Was his banishment the right thing to do for baseball? Or, was it a further stain on a game already sullied by a gambling scandal? In any case, all we have left is the historical record, which includes classic photography like this.
Published exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, this poster is a haunting tribute to the man made famous in modern times by fictional portrayals in the Hollywood films Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams. Taken during the heart of the Black Sox era, this is the signature image of Shoeless Joe the slugger, displaying his batting stance with "Black Betsy", his massive 36-inch, 48-ounce bat that he somehow drove powerfully through the hitting zone. A historic sepia-toned beauty from the early years of Major League Baseball, this is the perfect way to give your sports wall-of-fame a vintage, classic look! Printed from the original photographic plates, and complete with official MLB Properties serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any baseball fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND. (Feb. 6, 2013) - The Crawfordsville Police Department and the Indiana Department of Child Services are encouraging community members to report incidents of suspected methamphetamine production and use. Montgomery County is among those Indiana areas battling a high number of meth users and labs, along with a rise in illegal prescription drug use.
According to the Crawfordsville police, 32 meth labs were seized in Montgomery County in 2012 with 23 meth-related arrests.
"Meth is one of the most invasive and addictive illegal drugs," said narcotics unit officer Aaron Mattingly, who stresses that meth use isn't confined to any age group. "And one of the most devastating effects of meth is the physical destruction of the user's body. It essentially becomes a crippler." The stimulant drug controls the abuser so much they will often lose their home, personal possessions and even children to simply get high one more time.
Montgomery County DCS Director Joanie Crum says the impact meth has on families is devastating. "Unfortunately, parents who use meth often utilize their resources for the drug, leaving little to provide for their children's most basic needs of food, supervision and a safe home," said Crum. "Risks to the child's health and safety increase greatly when meth is manufactured in their home where they are exposed to hazardous chemicals and possibly even fire or explosion."
Mattingly works closely with the narcotics unit of the Montgomery Co. Sheriff's Department. He says both departments rely heavily on the support and information local citizens provide about the use and production of meth. He encourages anyone aware of meth activities or illegal drug use to call the drug tip line and make an anonymous report at 765.362.3762, ext. 6, or talk to a dispatcher at 765.362.3300. "The best way citizens can help our community is to get involved. If you suspect illegal drug activity in your neighborhood, call and report your suspicions," said Mattingly. "It's virtually impossible to combat illegal drugs without the group effort of citizens, law enforcement officers and agencies like the department of child services."
DCS must also rely on community members to help protect children. In Indiana, all citizens are required to report incidents of child abuse and neglect. "We look to neighbors, friends, family members and other community members as first responders in helping protect children," said Crum. Anyone suspecting abuse or neglect should contact the child abuse and neglect hotline at 800.800.5556.
About Indiana Department of Child Services:
DCS is committed to protecting children who are victims of abuse or neglect. The agency's primary goal is to safely keep these children at home with their families by offering appropriate support services. If safety continues to be a concern, children are placed with relatives or in foster care. DCS also oversees adoptions from the foster care system and manages the child support bureau. The Kids First Trust Fund, supported by the sale of 'Kids First' specialty automobile license plates, subsidizes programs designed to prevent child abuse and neglect. Indiana Child Abuse/Neglect Hotline: 800.800.5556 www.in.gov/dcs.

Rising Waters Close State Roads in Vincennes District
Drivers encouraged using caution around flooded roadways
VINCENNES, Ind. -- The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces rising waters have caused the closure of roads in the Vincennes District. The closures will remain in effect until waters recede. The following sections of roadway have either been closed or INDOT is advising motorists to use caution around these areas of high water:
Daviess & Knox Counties
**OPEN**State Road 358 from State Road 67 (Edwardsport) to State Road 57 (Plainville)
When encountering a flooded roadway, INDOT urges drivers to turn around and not drive through standing water. According to the National Weather Service, most flooding deaths occur in automobiles. Six inches of standing water is enough to cause passenger cars to stall and a foot of water will float many vehicles. For the latest road conditions, please call 1-800-261-7623 or visit www.trafficwise.in.gov .

From the Pitch: With Guilherme and Blaike Week 2
Requires Adobe Flash
Guilherme Reis
Wednesday, September 08, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 8, 2010)
- ETSU men's soccer players
Guilherme Reis
(Belo Horizonte, Brazil) and
Blaike Woodruff
(Georgetown, Texas) will be stopping by throughout the season to provide a weekly blog on life as an ETSU men's soccer player. Here is week two of From the Pitch featuring Guilherme Reis.
September 8
Hi again! I'm back with more stories straight from the locker room and field to you guys. Pre season is over. We started the first week of season training hard because we know the expectations for this year and how tough the schedule is. Our first stop would be Furman, a really strong side that quite often makes it to the NCAA nationals. We were ready and excited about starting our season and having the first test; so we left Johnson City and headed to Furman University.
We definitely had the best chances in the game, but once again we let the result slip through our hands. We lost 1-0, and it was a really hard loss. Although the result wasn't what we expected, a lot of good things were taken out of that game. We were tired of having good performances but coming up empty handed out of games, and we were motivated to change this situation.
After the Furman game the team was a little upset but we kept working hard. We knew we could not stop working, since we had another hard task ahead: Clemson at their home field. We went over the game plan during practices and talked about what was going to be the key to win the game. Once again, we were leaving town to face a good side. However this time the end of the story was different. We fought throughout the whole game and in the end we were awarded with a huge result for us and for the program. We beat Clemson and took a step closer to prove the quality of this team. But we all know that it is just the beginning, we have a lot to improve and a lot to achieve still.
That's all I have for today. I will have more stories for you guys in 2 weeks. Hopefully they have happy endings …
Until next time,
Guilherme Reis #5

Bridgeport Hospital is best in Fairfield County for Geriatrics, according to U.S. News Media & World Report's 2011-12 Best Hospitals rankings, released in July.
"This national recognition is a reflection of the skill and compassion of our Center for Geriatrics staff and all the physicians and caregivers at Bridgeport Hospital who serve our older patients," says President and CEO William M. Jennings. "In particular, this achievement is a testament to the visionary leadership of Beata Skudlarska, MD, our Chief of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, who has developed the service into one that has received accolades at the national level."
Geriatrics is medical care that is dedicated to treating older adults. A geriatrician (a physician specializing in the medical care of the elderly) has a full understanding of the wide range of physical, mental, medical, social and spiritual issues that older adults can have. A geriatrician is trained to watch for the ways in which these problems can combine to prevent an older person from enjoying life. With expert treatment, older adults can live the fullest lives possible.
The help and guidance of a team of geriatric medicine experts can help ensure quality of life for older adults and peace of mind for their family members. When choosing a geriatrician, be sure to select a specialist affiliated with Bridgeport Hospital:
Beata Skudlarska, MD, Chief of Geriatrics and Palliative Care Vivian Argento, MD • Marina Blagodatny, MD • Mithil Choksey, MD • Jayakrishnan Krishnakurup, MD

6 slices
bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons
red onion, chopped
2 pounds
fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
8 small
new potatoes, diced
1 large clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup
chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons
white balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
One of my friends described this as 'German Potato Salad' meets Green Beans which is a great combo!! Here's my suggestions for next time: -- substitute red potatoes if you don't have new potatoes and dice them into 1/2 inch chunks -- after cooking the bacon, remove it and cook the onions in the bacon fat. Add another T or 2 of butter if necessary -- once the onion is cooked, add the potatoes and garlic. Cook for a couple minutes and then add the green beans and broth -- do not add too much broth as this will make your 'sauce' too soupy. -- make sure you have a large enough pot to be able to mix the vegetables as they cook. Otherwise the bottom cooks and the top is still raw. -- Once the dish is plated, sprinkle the bacon on top for an attractive presentation. -- Enjoy!!
Actually a little bland - I'm not sure what I did wrong. I expected it to be more flavorful.

Being southern, when I first made this recipe I included the bacon grease for extra flavor but next time I'll drain it off. No need to fry up bacon, you could just use bottled real bacon bits. Also since the small new potatoes aren't used whole, they are diced, you could just use 3 or 4 regular size potatoes. Loved the balsamic vinegar in this. Will be making this again!
These were great, lots of flavor. Didn't put in the potatoes because I was serving baked potatoes and used plain white vinegar instead of the balsamic. Also used home canned green beans (drained). Just tossed them a bit to blend with the other ingredients while heating and they were ready to serve.
A very good recipe! I made this as a side for Thanksgiving. It smelled wonderful when cooking and went very well with the meal. I needed to cook the green beans much longer than 10 minutes to make them tender, but as the potatoes cooked, some began to break down and thicken the sauce, which was a nice touch. I would prepare again.
So good! I followed the recipe quite closely. Substituted a white onion for a red. I omitted the balsamic and felt no additional salt or pepper was needed. I believe the balsamic would have been too many competing flavors.
This recipe was great! I followed a mix of the reviews and put 1 cup broth, red wine vinegar and cooked it for 15-20 min. Definitely will make it again! :)
I really loved this recipe. I added about 3/4 cup of chicken broth instead of 1/4 cup. I also let it cook a little longer than 10 minutes to get the green beans more tender. It was perfect!!!

In technical terms, what is the correct way to refer to a computer's Clipboard in Spanish? The automated translators say it's "Portapapeles"
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Spanish Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Spanish language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, portapapeles is the correct translation; here it is its meaning, according to the RAE:
As you can see, portapapeles is a temporary deposit in a computer's memory to store information for a later use.
As a historical note, the word portapapeles was only recently accepted by the RAE and it will officially "appear in society" in the 23rd edition of the DRAE.

BBD Writer Eric Samulski
This is a bitter consolation prize for a Bulldogs team that was primed to play in a National Championship game. On the other side of the ball, you have a Cornhusker team that rose to the top of a lackluster Big Ten conference before getting trounced by Wisconsin. The truth of the matter is that for as highly touted as Nebraska's defense usually is, they've given up far too many points to the strong teams on their schedule. With the exception of Ohio State, Georgia might be the strongest. With Murray leading the charge, the Bulldogs offense should be able to put up points against Bo Pellini's team and do some damage of their own on the defensive side. (more…)

A tip of the hat to Lane Middle School football team and coach Rick Vance for an awesome undefeated season and also going on to win the city championship, defeating Jefferson Middle School 40-0. Thank you to Channel 21 and Tommy Schoegler for their coverage of the championship game.
A big thank you to Powell Overhead Garage Doors, located in New Haven. A few weeks back, they installed a door in my barn. Upon completion, I paid them in cash and suspected I had overpaid by $100. However, after counting the money in front of me, we both decided I had not. A short time later, I was contacted by the owner of the company, Terry, and he stated I indeed had overpaid, and the bills were stuck together. He promptly drove the refunded money back to me (quiet a distance for him), and handed it back. Integrity and honesty are still alive, whether your company is big or small. They now have a lifelong customer. Way to go, guys!

Working for free?
I work at a university in the admissions office doing boring data entry work. Nothing that has anything to do with programming.
My boss knows that I'm going to school for computer science and I've helped him in the past when there are some programming issues. I've also volunteered to be the school's webmaster because I enjoy doing it and it never taked more than 5-10 minutes out of my normal day.
But my boss now wants an iPhone (or other mobile platform) app for prospective students. I showed interest in designing and programming this iPhone app for him and even went as far as to create some mock ups and code snippets for a proposal.
He ended up hiring another person for the job (which is fine) but he wants all the proposal work I did to be sent to the other person since he liked my proposal and what I had planned.
I also know that he's going to have me help this person creating the app if they get stuck or need a second hand on the project, and after the person is done, I know I'll be the one to make any updates and fix any bugs. But I know that I won't get paid for contract work, only my normal salary.
Should I give up my ideas/work for this opportunity for experience? Does working for free like this (when not an intern) have it's advantages later in a career? Is this common practice for beginning programmers looking for experience?
Is there a point when I shouldn't offer my skills as a programmer any more? Where I should deny further assignments/jobs from an employer who isn't paying me for the job they hired me for?
