Close-Out on Toro Baking MixesToro is a line of gluten-free baking mixes from Norway. Many of our Milwaukee-area customers had an opportunity to experience their exceptional taste and texture first-hand at our Sampling Day in September. At that event, the mixes were represented by the Bosking family, owners of an Iowa-based company called Tastes Like Real Food that imported the mixes to the US. They developed many excellent recipes around the mixes, including these for Peanut Butter Cookies, Sugar Cookies, and Lefse.
Recently, Toro decided to re-formulate the mixes for the European market. Unfortunately, the recipes developed by Tastes Like Real Food do not work with the new formulations. That issue combined with price pressure from the weak US dollar have resulted in Tastes Like Real Food deciding to stop importing Toro mixes. We are now able to offer the remainder of the old-formula stock at a deep discount. The mixes originally sold for $7.49, but while supplies last we will be closing them out for just $3.79, a savings of almost 50%. These old-formula mixes have a "best before" date of January 2010 (the shelf life can be extended by freezing them). There are four to choose from:
- Toro Sponge Cake Mix. A versatile mix that can be used for sponge cake, poppy seed bread, cookies, cupcakes, and more.
- Toro Waffle & Pancake Mix. A delicious waffle and pancake mix.
- Toro White Bread Mix. A delicious white bread mix for baking bread, buns, and pizza crust.
- Toro Whole Meal Bread Mix. A rustic bread with a whole-grain texture. It can also be used for dinner rolls.
Garden Fields Stuffing CubesGarden Fields Stuffing Cubes available for your Christmas hen, turkey, pheasant, duck or goose.
Try these delicious seasoned gluten-free stuffing cubes as part of your holiday meal, and you'll soon discover that their taste is great anytime you serve poultry or pork. Although we stock this as a seasonal item, the product has a shelf life of 9 months or more and we'll continue to offer them as long as our supply holds out.
We also have a small quantity of Garden Fields Unseasoned Bread Cubes. They are made from the same recipe as the Stuffing Cubes, except without the herbs. Great as soup croutons, excellent in this recipe for Bread Pudding with Brandy Sauce, or add your own seasonings to make stuffing.
New Breakfast Cereals from CerealVitCerealVit is a line of gluten-free cereals from Italy. Although the company is new to the US, they have been in business for almost 30 years. Their focus is on healthy, natural cereals with rich taste, high nutritional value, and attention to quality. All of the CerealVit products are made with limited use of sugars and no added fats, colorings, artificial flavors or chemicals. Three products are now available in the US:
- Benevit. Light multi-grain flakes made from organic rice and buckwheat.
- Coffee Flakes. Delicious corn flakes coated with real Italian coffee and enriched with flax. Each serving provides 140mg of Omega 3 fatty acids.
- Organic Corn Flakes. Not your average corn flake: they are extra-thick to maintain their crunch, with the toasty flavor of rice malt and no added sugar.
Barkat Honey Cake Mark-Down
Barkat Honey Cakes are moist, tasty cakes that make a great afternoon snack. In addition to being gluten-free they are milk/casein free and vegetarian.

There was an entry somewhere here on MenWho about 2Socks/2Circs using Antje Gillingham's method. Can anybody tell me how to re-find that entry?
So, I haven't placed a blog since I had this account. I was playing around with some yarn that I got from the Dollar Store and was working on a free handed sweater, that turned into a dress.
My wife wore a shawl I made for her on a recent trip to her mother's. Her mother said she'd really like to have something like that to wear, so here it is.
My nephew Alex arrived yesterday. He has moved to the great Pacific Northwest to finish his engineering degree. I'm soooo excited. He has turned into such a nice young man.

The federal budget sequestration is just the latest in a string of hits to federal contractors in Montgomery and Frederick counties.
Officepro, which derives about 80 percent of its revenues from federal contracts, has already seen federal clients either delay making decisions about training or outright cancel planned training, said Judy Stephenson, president of the Gaithersburg software training company.
"It's having a significant impact on our business," she said, estimating that revenues could be down from 10 percent to 20 percent at her business because of the latest broad reductions. The sequestration cuts, which started Friday, could reach $85 billion this fiscal year.
Officepro has had to stop working with some of its contractors and could have to retrain people if the work picks up later, Stephenson said.
"It takes more time to find quality people," she said. "Instructors are not just standing on every street corner."
Federal budget cuts are nothing new to contractors. The fiscal cliff was averted with a temporary tax deal around New Year's Day. There is the looming threat of a government shutdown, as the law that funds the federal government expires in late March.
"All this causes uncertainty among those making decisions to fund contracts," Stephenson said.
Bethesda military and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin is still working with customers to understand how exactly sequestration will affect programs, Jennifer Allen, a company spokeswoman, said this week. Delays in funding for production programs could increase costs and "ultimately weaken our national security posture," she said.
"We'll await further guidance from our customers, and if warranted, will provide affected employees the full notice period required by [the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act] for covered layoff activity at the appropriate time," Allen said.
In Lockheed's recently filed annual report, executives said that the sequestration cuts would about double the size of the 10-year, $487 billion reduction in Pentagon spending that began in fiscal 2012.
About 82 percent of Lockheed's net revenues of $47.2 billion last year came from the U.S. government, including 61 percent from the Pentagon. The company had 120,000 employees worldwide as of Dec. 31, down 12,000 from two years earlier. Some 8,000 workers are in Maryland, according to state figures.
Pentagon officials have said that many as 46,000 civilian employees in Maryland could be furloughed to help meet spending reductions.
Bethesda hotelier Marriott International, the second-largest company in revenues based in Maryland behind Lockheed, could suffer if federal agencies reduce travel by employees and contractors, executives said in its recent annual report. Federal government travel is a "significant part of our business," they said.
Jeff Flaherty, a Marriott spokesman, said this week that it was "too early to tell" if the company will delay hiring or have any other impact due to the sequester. The company has about 10,000 employees in Maryland, according to the state.
Many local executives are having to figure out how to "adapt and reposition themselves" in a marketplace that has seen reduced federal spending for several years, said Georgette Godwin, president and CEO of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce in Rockville.
Chamber leaders recently heard a presentation from economist Stephen Fuller of George Mason University that forecast the county would lose about 4,000 federal jobs by 2017 but more than make up for that through an increase of some 21,000 jobs in private professional and business services, as well as thousands more in construction, health care and other areas.
Many of those private jobs are expected in health information technology and cybersecurity, Godwin said. Still, the sequestration is a major concern for small and large businesses alike, she said.
Maryland ranks second nationally in federal procurement and third in total federal funds, which also includes grants, federal salaries and other payments, according to a recent state report. In fiscal 2012 alone, the federal government awarded $10.4 billion in contracts and $168 million in grants to Montgomery County companies and organizations. About $5 billion in prime federal contracts held by county businesses last fiscal year could be adversely affected, county officials said.
"We need for Congress and the White House to come to a thoughtful resolution," Godwin said. "Right now, they are allowing a draconian process that is not supporting the nation's priorities to make those budget decisions for them."
The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda could see $1.5 billion cut from its $31 billion budget because of the sequester, according to a federal report.
Diane Frasier, director of NIH's Office of Acquisition and Logistics Management, sent a letter to NIH contractors this week saying that certain contracts might not have options exercised and lower prices could be negotiated. Plans for new contracts may be delayed or canceled "depending on the nature of the work and the availability of resources," Frasier said.
In addition, hospitals and physicians offices are expected to see Medicare reimbursements reduced by 2 percent.
Some of Montgomery County's 47,000 federal workers have already contacted companies such as International Limousine Service seeking part-time chauffeur positions, executives at the Washington, D.C., business said. Most are looking for only a specific day of work to replace their furlough day,
Five regional airports in Maryland, including Frederick Municipal Airport and Hagerstown Regional Airport, are on a national list released by the Federal Aviation Administration that could see their air traffic control towers closed due to sequestration.
Most FAA employees face being furloughed for at least one day per pay period through September, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a recent letter. Travelers should expect delays as some airlines change schedules and even cancel flights, he said.
Officials with the Fort Detrick Business Development Office, which helps companies do business with the Frederick military base, have met recently with some contractors concerned over sequestration. Vendors "should not be discouraged" and should continue to submit contract proposals, officials said in a statement.
Sequestration came about due to a 2011 agreement by Congress and the White House to raise the nation's debt ceiling, with cuts theoretically designed to be severe enough to force a deal to avoid them.

Coilgun Principal:
Coilguns(Pulse Accelerators), like railguns(Linear Accelerators), use intense electromagnetic fields to propel objects at incredible velocities unreachable with modern gas driven weaponry (given enough stored energy of course). This coil gun is known as a reluctance coil gun. The coil uses its electromagnetic field to pull a ferromagnetic (magnetically affected) projectile, in this case a shaped steel round, toward its center. Ideally the current supporting the electromagnetic field will turn off when the projectile is in the center allowing the projectile to continue traveling down the barrel, out the gun, and to the target. Use a coil and a few batteries to understand the properties of this system better. Many coilguns incorporate multiple stages at lower energy levels as efficiency tends to die off as more Stored Energy is used for a single coil design. For more information go to step 5.
A basic coilgun operation diagram is included at the bottom.
'!!!!!!Learn More About Coilguns!!!!!!'
What is a relay?? (Elaboration on step 2)
How does it work?
A relay is a simple electromagnetic switch. It uses an electromagnet to pull two contacts of a separate circuit together, completing the circuit and allowing electricity to flow.
What is it used for?
A relay was originally used to allow a machine or computer to switch something on or off electronically. In this application it is used to switch the capacitors energy into the coil.
Why use it?
Relays allow more current to pass through them than regular push button switches, which normally weld together. You can use a very high rated toggle switch for this, but it is usually more expensive and larger than a relay of the same rating.
Part Deals
The Parts You Need Are:
From Radio Shack or Other Electronic Parts Dealer:
-20 or 22 AWG Hookup Wire (Buy both the solid and stranded)(Larger wire is better because it lowers the resistance in the system which increases the coil gun's efficiency)
-22-20 gauge Magnetic Wire (Depending on your coil preference;See step 2)(Radio Shack has a Package with 40 ft of this but I recommend buying it from a different store to save cost and to get at least 100 ft for a coil more than 7 layers thick)
-A Relay (Electronic Switch), Preferably 30 Amps or more (I got a 12VDC/30A SPST Automotive Relay from Radio Shack, but I would recommend a higher voltage and current rating)
-A Momentary Switch( I used the SPDT Switch with 3/4" Roller Lever from Radio Shack, but you can use a lower rated switch)
-An On/Off Switch(I used the DPDT Heavy-Duty Rocker Switch from Radio Shack but you can use a lower rated switch)
-Battery Packs (More than 2 2AA Holders and 1 9V Holder)(The more 2AA Battery Packs the better)( I would suggest getting a few 2 C Battery Holders as they provide substantially more power to the Charger, resulting in a MUCH faster charge time; be careful not to over load your chargers, see last step for safe charger to battery ratios.
From Other Places:
-Used Disposable Camera's (The More The Better as this is the gun's central component), You can get them by asking most photo places like in Walmart or CVS for used disposable camera's. Remember: it is for the batteries, not a gun...never
-Straws from Burger king or local chain(You May use another place's straws but the coil's inner diameter will differ; Of course if you choose a smaller straw a smaller projectile will go faster but not pack as big a punch, AKA momentum)Also,Smaller Straws may be used to place on the back of your projetile for stabilization, this works well.
-Large Nails (3/16 to 1/4 inch Diameter, or bring your straw to Home Depot to fit the right nail)
-A Bolt, two washers, and a nut. (The bolt needs to be the diameter of your straw and the washer needs to fit well and be as wide in diameter as possible)
-A spray paint "can gun" handle or other handle. (I got mine from Harbor Freight)
-Plexiglas, wood, or sheet metal(Optional for gun casing)
-Electrical Tape
-Flux (Not necessary, but it does help)
-Super Glue/ Epoxy/ Hot Glue(Used for gun casing)
-Wire Cutters
-Wire Stripper( A big help)
-Glue Gun( For outer casing)
-Screw Driver(Flat Head)( To get cameras apart and discharge capacitors)

Electric weed eater.. well, I'd suggest to put that down, and try using the suggested components instead. Good luck!
does someone knows how to charge a capacitor?
apply current
I have fawned a way to make the coil gun a automatic. I put a lm555 timer ,but you can use any of the 555 chips, to make it a automatic gun.
There's actually a very good reason you don't connect he boards and caps in series, that is because they wont balance correctly. Each cap has a different capacitance, it can be off by only a few microfarad or off by hundreds of microfarad, regardless, if you put them in series, the lowest value capacitor will stop charging first, and current will cease to flow through the loop at that point. (findamental property of a capacitor is that it stops allowing current to flow once it's charged) This is not a big problem if all your caps are almost identical, because you will get pretty close to the correct voltage on each capacitor. But if you're using cheapo disposable camera capacitors, then odds are your bank will stop charging long before every capacitor is fully charged. The solution is to use an active balancing solution, or a microcontroler, that systematically monitors the voltage of each cap and drains and charges them as needed to maintain balance. But that is an expensive and involved solution, the better method is to put them in parallel.
Further, you dont gain any power when putting them in series over parallel
the soloution to this problem (caps in serial unbalanced) is to use the voltage divider principle. just put on each cap a low-tolerance reisistor in parallel. This will make sure that each capacitor will be charged. Please google the math for the right resistors.
i am in a country that dont have exactly that cameras :P soo i cant easy make this and i need to know WICH coil-magnet wire i need can someone pls send a link to me? <3 thank you
how to manualy connect a kodak ( disposeable camera ) transformer to wires to connect to the transformer and get high voltage?
I'm not sure for that application, but I made a taser like that.
Did u actually brand it with FESys
Does this work?!?!?!
how many batteries do i need?
hi uh what kind of capacitor did you use i' new to this so i'm not really sure, i know it isn't a super/ultra capacitor but if you could give me a link to a similar capacitor to the one used in this instructable that would be helpful thanks
I think I'll try this project this weekend.
I can't tell where to cut the circuit board (and what the transformer looks like) so that the transformer comes out.
If It's not too much trouble could someone draw on the photos where I need to cut.
Do you mean each capacitor or all the capacitors in the bank must equal 300VDC to 900vdc?
It's possible you've heated a transistor too much and it has burned out just replace every transistor but be quick and make sure it doesn't get too hot again or it will blow one of them out and then you will have to replace all of them again because you can't tell which one is the dead one (make sure when you get a new transistor its matches the one on the circuit board or it wont work e.g. the circuit board one might be negative positive negative (npn) so you will need to get a npn and not a positive negative positive (pnp) you can search up how to test between the two.
The overall size of the coil is really up to you. You want the inner diameter to be slightly larger than your projectile. I wound mine around 1/2 pvc pipe and used that as a barrel. I hate supporting Radioshack, otherwise known as "The Man" when it comes to hobby electronics, but they usually sell magnet wire in the back that has a small enamel layer and is perfect for winding coils. Mine was roughly 2" long and only about 1/4" thick but worked great.
Those capacitors hold a lot of energy( E=1/2*Capacitance*Voltage^2 ) just over 600 Joules fully charged by my calculations. A simple design would be to just charge them up and discharge them all through your coil. In order to add more additions it gets more complicated with light triggers and high voltage transistors, but totally possible with something like an Arduino.
and just wondering, what would change if you hooked up a 2100v 1uf capacitor to the coil? wouldn't the performance turn out to be better? after all, it is a high voltage capacitor.

Recent Down Insulated Jacket Reviews
Mountain Hardwear Men's Ghost Whisperer Down Jacket
High warmth-to-weight, uber lightweight, packs small. This is a very nice, lightweight down jacket, perfect for throwing in a daypack or backpack for multi-day outings. It uses treated 800 down (Q.Shield), just under 3 oz of fill. The weight of my size Men's Large is 6.9 oz, not many down jackets approach that weight. It packs very small, taking very little space—a very big plus if using a small pack. I've had the jacket out in light rain and snow and the DWR is pretty decent, but I wouldn't… Full review
Columbia Women's Diamond 890 TurboDown Hooded Jacket
Dark feathers are visible, look like dirty spots. Called Columbia, they said this is not defect so no return. Don't recommend. Full review
The North Face Women's McMurdo Parka
I also bought in Covent Garden after getting caught in rain and freezing. They didn't have my size so got next size up to layer underneath. I am from Queensland and am cold if it's 20 degrees Celsius. I only wore a t-shirt underneath after having toured UK with three thermals and cardigan. Yes, the hood's spacious, but length was great. Just wish I'd got a size down as I look like the Michelin Man! Did the job for two weeks in January in London. Full review
Marmot Thunder Bay Parka
Best Parka. Thank you, Marmot! Pros: WARMTH! Let me keep it simple, in -40 Celsius w/ wind-chill, you won't complain about the weather, as long as you put on the hoody and a good scarf, and good gloves of course. Sometime when it's super windy like 30KM/h wind, you do feel the wind around the elbow a little, but this will keep you warm for sure! QUALITY! Top new material, zippers are great, I love the velcros quality. The inside heat reflecting material is definitely my favorite! The outer membrane… Full review
Eddie Bauer Men's First Ascent Downlight Sweater
The Eddie Bauer First Ascent Downlight Sweater Jacket is fantastic. It's warm and compressible with 800-fill down. It fits well and looks great. After trying multiple light down jackets, this jacket was the clear winner in terms of design, fit and looks. DESIGN The 800-fill down makes the jacket extremely warm and compresses down to the size of a softball. The shell fabric has a DWR finish making it highly wind and water resistant The jacket can be stuffed into its own pocket Fleece lined pockets… Full review
The North Face Men's McMurdo Parka
Went to Iceland in February 2015. This parka was absolutely fantastic, could not feel cold at all with just a tee shirt on underneath. Temperature in Rekyav was -8° and snowing, no chill felt. Went out of town to Gullfoss waterfalls, temperature was -15° and still warm in this jacket. We went on snowmobile for about an hour and temperature was measured at -22°. This jacket coupled with North Face Montana Gloves was faultless. I actually sweated. Well done, North Face. Would recommend this parka… Full review
MontBell Men's Alpine Light Down Parka
Warm and light, this is a great down jacket for shoulder season use — very good bargain too! This is my go-to down jacket for shoulder season use; it's usually too warm for summer use and there are plenty of lighter options. With over 4 ounces of 800 down, this jacket is warm! Not sure where the original review came from, but mine in size Large is 12.8 oz, pretty svelte for such a warm jacket. The hood is nicely cut and adjustable. Two nice zippered pockets that are lined w/ fleece. I really… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Incandescent Hoody
Nice, warm, light down parka. Fit/finish top notch. This is a really nice, lightweight down jacket w/ ~ 7 oz of 800 down. I find it very warm for the weight, my Large comes in at 17.1 oz. Compresses small and packs into its own stuff sack (utilizing one of the pockets). It has a good DWR finish, will shed snow and light precip nicely. I like the longer cut vs other lightweight parkas that are waist length. Has a dual direction zipper and a nice drawstring bottom. It has a handy "Napoleon" upper… Full review
The North Face Himalayan Parka
Decent jacket, but needs some fine tuning. The arms are the biggest let down, need more baffles to keep down in place. Live in the far north Canada, -40° is way too common for my liking, and the jacket is pretty good except for the arms. It's way too warm to wear in -20°, unless you're just sitting around. If you're walking -30° to 40°. Not good for strenuous activity like skiing or biking, waaaaay too hot. When the wind is howling it gets in through the bottom. An easy fix would be a powder… Full review

Former Maryland basketball star Len Bias was 22 when he died of a cocaine overdose. The world will never know what he might have done in the NBA, but the repercussions of what he did before he died are far-reaching.
After watching an ESPN "30 for 30" documentary on Bias, author Dave Ungrady, who was also an athlete at the University of Maryland, decided to write about what Bias left behind.
"[The book is] an in-depth look at his complex legacy," Ungrady said. "The title of the book really is foretelling in a sense because he has a mixed legacy. A lot of people still look at Len as an iconic figure with whom they emulate as a basketball player and as a person, but there are quite a few people who still struggle with the way he died and are upset with the way he died and can't get over it. It disrupted a lot of lives but it also conversely saved lives."
Ungrady will be a featured author at this year's Gaithersburg Book Festival from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday.
One of the positives that came out of Bias' passing was that people began to look at drug use differently.
"I write anecdotally in the book about how people say that when Len died using cocaine, they stopped using cocaine or told themselves that was the big stop sign that they should never use drugs," Ungrady said. "I go to a lot of youth tournaments now and sell the book. It blows me away how many people still have strong feelings about him. They have a lot of passion for him as a player, they remember where they were when he died — vividly, they remember where they were. It's very compelling stuff."
Most sports fans, especially Terrapin fans, know what Bias did on the court. He was drafted second overall by the then-World Champion Boston Celtics back in 1986. At Bias' funeral, Boston president, general manager and former coach Red Auerbach said he had planned for three years to draft Bias. What most people don't know is what he was like off the court.
"Len was, by all accounts, silly," Ungrady said. "He was a bit of a prankster. He didn't go overboard on it, but he liked to have fun. He liked music, he liked fashion. He was quite an accomplished graphic illustrator. He drew pictures — black and white sketches of objects that he liked to [sketch].
"Lefty [Driesell, Bias' coach at Maryland] tells a good story about one time he stopped by to see him in high school and he was sitting out front of the high school and drawing an illustration of the school sitting there by himself. He also had a quiet side."
Ungrady said Bias had a sensitive side as well. In his final year at Maryland, according to Ungrady, Bias told a friend he was unhappy at Maryland because he wasn't having the fun he thought he would because of the pressure to perform and the team just not having a very good season. Regardless, he still gave all he had on the court.
"The title of the book is symbolic because Lefty would look for him the day of games, hours before the game, and he'd say 'Len, how are you feeling?'" Ungrady said. "He'd say, 'Coach, I'm born ready.' Meaning he was born ready to play the game — he was born ready to be a great basketball player. The irony is he wasn't born ready for the other things in his life, for example how to handle drugs and be smart about it and it killed him."
For his part, Ungrady is doing what he can to help spread the message of making sound choices to teens and young adults. He started the Born Ready Project, which teaches youth how to make good life decisions.
"[The Born Ready Project was] something that I didn't have initial plans for," Ungrady said. "After the book came out, I was signing books at places and people would tell me, 'Boy, there's a message here in this book.' … I started the Born Ready Project, focusing on life skills, decision-making and resilience. I go to schools and talk with groups and offer tips on how to do as well as possible in those situations."
Through all the sadness and loss, Ungrady said the fault lies squarely on Bias and the one bad decision that cost him his life. And that's what he hopes readers take away from his book.
"My target audience is teenagers and young adults because that's when they need to learn about how to make good decisions," Ungrady said. "Len made a bad decision. A lot of people blame Coach Driesell or the athletic department at Maryland for not having perhaps more strict rules against the athletes with grades and/or drug use, but Coach Driesell told me a great thing and I agree with him. He said, 'You can't watch these kids 24 hours a day.'
"Len was a 22-year-old. He was a full-on adult. He was responsible for his own decisions at that point, most of them. And that's a decision that he made. So one bad decision can impact not only your life, but other lives more so than you can probably imagine. It's a hard thing for teenagers and young adults to accept, but that's what Len's book is all about. He was a flawed man, most of us are in some way — all of us are in some ways. His flaws just killed him."

fajita seasoning
red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

1 (14 ounce) can

1 dash

salt and pepper to taste
This soup is delicious. Just enough heat to keep it tasty. Like one of the other reviewers, I used a small can or green chiles and increased the broth to 26 oz. I also added a bag of frozen southwestern style corn I had on hand in the freezer. Before serving, I added shredded cheese on top, either mexican or mozzarella. Fantastic
Sort of blah...I was surprised that people were as crazy about it as they were. Both my husband and I thought it was just okay. Just not a lot of flavor.

This was really good! I only changed a few things because of what I had on hand - I used regular diced tomatoes instead of fire roasted and a small can of diced fire roasted green chilies because I didn't have poblano peppers. I also added another half can of chicken broth because I like my soup to have lots of broth, and a shake of garlic powder. Yummy, thanks!
This was very tasty! I think it's better than tortilla or fajita soup you would get at a restaurant. Like one of the other reviewers I used a small can of diced fire roasted green chilies instead of a poblano pepper. I also used red, yellow, and green bell peppers. I did not add hot sauce and to me it had enough spice and flavor. My fiance likes spice so he added hot sauce to just his bowl. After serving , I put crushed tortilla chips on top. Delicious!
When I made the soup the first time with the original recipe, I found it to be good, but felt it was missing some depth and richness. The second time I made it, I sauteed the chicken with a heaping teaspoon of chopped garlic, I increased the fajita seasoning to one and a half packets, used two cans of seasoned black beans instead of one, and used a can of diced tomatoes with jalepeno peppers (drained) instead of just fire roasted tomatoes. I added a cup and a half of corn and decreased the chicken stock to one cup. Simmered for 30 minutes and found that it was a rich, tasty fajita stew.
Bueno! Soup is such an overlooked staple in our diets, and this one more than fills the bill (and the tummy!) for a satisfying main course, esp. on a cool autumn eve. Like another reviewer, I sprinkle grated jack or mexican cheese(i.e. queso blanco or queso quesadilla)on top, and then some crispy fried or baked corn tortilla strips . . . divine!!!
This is one of my most favorite fall soups to make. Now that I've made it a few times, I stick the chicken the chicken fajita marinade from this site (the one that calls for beer) during the day and then cook the chicken in a homemade fajita seasoning. Three Foster Farms chicken breasts make enough meat for this soup. I usually buy them at Costco. Sometimes, I'll add a can of Campbell's Healthy Choice Tomato Soup, if I have it on hand to make it a little tomatoey. (Is that even a word?) This is GREAT with the Mexican Sunset Bread, which is also from this site.
This is a wonderful soup, and something I've never heard of before. I did add a can of whole kernel corn, more broth and I used green chiles instead of the poblano pepper. I also added more of the fajita seasoning to the chicken. Next time I make it I think I'll shred the chicken and let that simmer with everything. Something I'll be making again, thats for sure!

Volleyball Loses To Appalachian State, 3-1
Tuesday, October 29, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (October 29, 2002) - East Tennessee State's volleyball team lost 3-1 to visiting Appalachian State in Brooks Gym Tuesday night. The Mountaineers won the first game 30-27, before ETSU rebounded with a 30-26 victory in game two. Despite a late rally in game three, ASU regained the advantage with a 30-28 win in the third game and captured the match with a 30-24 victory in game four. "We expected this to be a long, hard-fought match," said Buccaneer head coach Deane Webb, whose squad went the distance and lost at Appalachian State in five games earlier in the season. "Appalachian State just played a little better than we did tonight, especially in the middle." East Tennessee State, which falls to 5-18 overall and 3-11 in the Southern Conference, was led by freshman setter Renee Vesey (Paw Paw, Mich.). Vesey became the first Buccaneer player to record a triple-double this season with 44 assists, 10 kills and 10 digs versus the Mountaineers. Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Ca.) tallied 17 kills, while Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) finished the match with 13 kills. Defensively, Meghan Connolly (Solon, Ohio) led the team with 14 digs to go along with two blocks. Appalachian State was led by Stefanie Panzer and Katherine Dean, who registered 22 and 21 kills, respectively. Panzer's hitting percentage was a remarkable .474, while Dean hit .366 for the match. Starla Gustafson dished out a match-high 57 assists and Alexis Mosley had 16 digs for the Mountaineers, who improve to 12-14 overall (6-8 SoCon). The Bucs return to the road after wrapping up a three-game home stand. They travel to Wofford on Friday, Nov. 1 and then Furman on Saturday, Nov. 2. With only six conference matches remaining, Webb said his team is now in a situation where ETSU must get back on the winning track if it is to make the Southern Conference Tournament. "Tonight wasn't a �must-win' situation for us, but the rest of our matches almost need to be if we want to get into the tournament," Webb said. "Our goal is to just take it one game at a time."

Saturday, March 15, 2014 — According to a press release from the Lassen County Sheriff's office, a no-bail warrant has been issued for a Janesville man suspected in local ranch thefts and burglaries at the Janesville Chevron station and the Woodsmith.
Larry Stratton, 36, was not at a Cummings Road residence in Janesville where two people were arrested Friday, March 14 after officers served a search warrant seeking stolen property and drugs. Larry Stratton was last seen Thursday at the residence, and deputies suspect he may be in the Chester area.
Despite Larry Stratton's absence, Janesville residents Jack Stratton, 56 and Karlene Clifton 52, were arrested at the scene. Jack Stratton was booked into the Lassen County Jail on charges of possession of stolen property, conspiracy, theft, possession of illegal drugs and possession of drugs for sale. His bail was set at $35,000. Clifton was booked into the Lassen County Jail on charges of possession of illegal drugs and possession of drugs for sale. Her bail also was set at $35,000.
Deputies served the search warrant seeking evidence related to several thefts in the Janesville area. Three Janesville ranchers recently reported thefts of power wire and fuses from the power boxes at their well pumps. The wire and fuses are made of copper. According to the release, suspects typically cut and take as much wire as possible and/or the copper fuses. The stolen items are then taken to a recycler to be sold.
During the execution of the warrant deputies allegedly seized evidence showing a connection to the thefts as well as illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia and evidence of drug sales.
Anyone with information about these cases or knowledge of Larry Stratton's whereabouts can call the Lassen County Sheriff's Office at 257-6121. Callers may choose to remain anonymous.

13 April 2011
Posted in WFTV Severe Weather Center 9
Throughout the year the sun appears at different locations at the same time of day. At 6 P.M. in July it's still sunny outside, while at 6 P.M. in January the Sun has already set. These differences are easily seen month by month, but not easily seen by the days or the weeks.
The sun tracking experiment will allow you to see that the sun appears in different locations at same specific time everyday. This is a great outdoor summer activity that will be fun for you and your family! Here is how it works:
- Glue a wooden stick to a cardboard square so that it stands upright at the edge, so the whole shadow can be seen on the square.
- Place the cardboard square outside where it can be exposed to the sun on a flat surface. Every day at the same time make a mark on the cardboard where the tip of the shadow is located and write the date. (It is important for the board to be in the exact location, facing the same direction everyday. It may be useful to mark the ground location where you will be putting the cardboard)
- Repeat this daily or weekly at the same exact time each day.
- Look at the results to discuss with your family about how often the sun moves compared to your expectations.
The tilt of the Earth's axis which causes the Earth to Face the Sun at an 23 degree angle is what causes the change in the shadow's location. Depending on where the Earth is located in its orbit around the sun is what determines the length of day. The length of the days changes because the Earth's location around the sun is contantly changing.

's Former First Lady Margaret Trudeau Reaches Out Canada
By: Charles Anzalone
Reprinted with permission from bp Magazine, Winter 2008
For many years, Margaret Trudeau thought her up and down moods were just part of her life. After all, her story resembled a movie script. She won the heart of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau while vacationing as a teenager with her family in Tahiti, and at the age of 22, became the youngest First Lady in Canadian history.
She was one of the world's most glamorous and scrutinized women in the '70s, an A List celebrity as capable of attracting headlines as Princess Diana.
"I thought my life was just taking me high and low," she says. "I had been given so many rich opportunities in my life."
In 2001, Trudeau ended years of denial and checked herself into an Ottawa hospital where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Five years later, when she felt her recovery was as complete as it needed to be, Trudeau announced at a hospital fund-raiser she had been struggling with bipolar for years, and had been misdiagnosed for decades.
Consider this the latest chapter of Trudeau's remarkable life: She's an eloquent and compelling advocate for people with a mental illness, in particular those living with bipolar. Instead of running from reality, she flies across North America to discuss that reality with eager audiences. Now she uses her celebrity (celebrity she says once used to be "infamy") to bring attention to world-wide causes.
"Bipolar is an exaggeration of your emotions, so when you do get knocked down by life -- which you will because everyone will be knocked down at some point -- it's very hard to bounce back. Some people can live with sorrow for awhile and get on with their lives. I didn't have that ability. I got very knocked down and it was very hard for me.

NHL Season On Thin Ice With Labor Dispute
Originally published on Thu October 18, 2012 7:00 pm
Talks aimed at ending the National Hockey League lockout resumed today in Toronto.
The lockout began in September and both sides would need to reach a deal by next Thursday if they want to preserve the full 82-game season. A new proposal from the league was made public yesterday and the players union responded today with several counter proposals.
BLOCK: Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo! Sports Puck Daddy blog joins us to talk about the issues, and whether fans should keep their hopes up for a hockey season this year. Greg, welcome.
GREG WYSHYNSKI: It's a pleasure to be here.
BLOCK: One of the big issues that the two sides are stuck on has to do with revenue sharing. And I gather that under the old agreement, the players were guaranteed 57 percent of league revenues, the owners originally demanded that that be cut to 43 percent. Now, they're up to 50/50, I guess.
WYSHYNSKI: Yeah, and the 43 percent was in an offer that the NHL gave the players back in July that I think they regret. It involved a dramatic drop in their share of the overall revenue, which, by the way, was $3.3 billion last year. If you talk to the NHL that was just a way to get the ball rolling on negotiations. If you talk to the players, they're still quite hung up on that proposal.
But the new proposal the NHL dropped this week is a stroke of PR genius. It's a 50/50 split, which is where a lot of people felt this negotiation was headed anyway, because that's where the NBA and the NFL kind of went in their labor negotiations. And it also tries to preserve the 82-game season, so the players wouldn't miss any paychecks and the fans would get to see a full 82 games of hockey.
BLOCK: The union, though, is saying that 50/50 split is coming at a time when NHL revenues are at record levels, $3.3 billion last year. So they're saying, why the pay cut to players?
WYSHYNSKI: And it's a great point because, honestly, this entire thing is cash grab. The last time they went through lockout and saw the 2004-2005 NHL season canceled, it was for these big philosophical debates: do we want a luxury tax system or do we want a salary cap system? This time it's more like, we think the players are making too much money, and we think down the line this might affect our ability to be profitable as franchises.
So the players have every right to gripe about the owners. But, at the same time, there's really not much leverage they have. I mean, the owners are going to be able to come in and strike the deal that they want. And the players just have to dig their heels in and see if they can just maintain as much of their share of the pie as they can.
BLOCK: Greg, the NHL has a 10-year, $2 billion TV deal with NBC, and the Winter Classic game that's played on New Year's Day is hugely popular. How does all of that affect these negotiations?
WYSHYNSKI: Well, whether or not there is a season, the NHL still gets paid by NBC. I think they get paid $200 million. And it's one of the reasons why I think this round is different than the last round. You know, in 2004-2005 the NHL didn't even have a television contract in the U.S. There's a lot more at stake this time for the NHL to put on a full season than last time.
BLOCK: Well, what is the timetable here? What happens if they don't reach a deal by next week? Is the season gone or could they just have a shorter season, eventually?
WYSHYNSKI: Well, it depends on if you're talking to unfettered optimists like me...
BLOCK: Which I am.
WYSHYNSKI: ...or real nasty hockey pessimists. The pessimists among us believe that if they cut into the 82-game schedule, then the next step might be half a season, then the next step might be canceling the season. I think the NHL put out a good offer and it wouldn't surprise me to see this thing go in for a few more weeks, maybe reduce the season by a few games. And then I look towards Thanksgiving because it would give you enough time to publicize and hype the Winter Classic and have that game on the schedule. So right around that time, to me, would be sort of the perfect time to bring the sport back.
BLOCK: Greg Wyshynski edits the Puck Daddy Blog for Yahoo! Sports. Greg, thanks so much.
WYSHYNSKI: Any time. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Dive into the past. Shape the future.
An understanding of history is crucial. We need to understand the paths that brought societies to where they are today. History gives us the tools to reflect on who we are, where we have come from, and where we might go. Exploring the past is also exciting and intellectually challenging, particularly when you work with our great researchers and teachers.

I have been struggling to find a permanent decorative solution for our long hallway for as long as we lived here. Most of the past two years, it's been a giant beige blank slate. Last summer, I got a little nutty and turned some left over moving supplies into art and then for the holidays I strung up a DIY light strand tree, but I've been craving something better. Something bold. And something really awesome.
So, I got way into the spirit of spring and loaded up our hallway with flowers!
If you follow me on instagram, you might have even seen a couple of hints:
I used 16 of these beaker glass tube wall vases from CB2 and a variety of different flowers from Hobby Lobby to create this fun and easy DIY Floral Wall Installation.
The part of this project that took the longest was picking out the blooms! I strolled the floral aisles for a good 40 minutes to find a really good mix of interesting colors and shapes. You can see I didn't just limit myself to flowers. There are a few weird items like lavender and spiky little reed-like things. But together as a whole, it turned into a big wall of fun.
As for the actual how-to, I just measured out the length of wall I wanted to use and divided that by the number of test tubes I had (16) to get my spacing. I decided to hang them at varying heights to accommodate for larger blooms and to take up more vertical space in the hallway. After the measuring, I used small nails to hang the tubes, trimmed the stems and extra leaves from my faux flowers and fiddled around to find a nice, balanced arrangement. It took one hour tops.
And it's such a happy project! I love walking through the hallway now. Plus, I figured when the seasons change, it'll be fun to swap out these bright flowers for fall foliage or more traditional holiday blooms. It's completely versatile, which is exactly what a gal like me wants!
How have you spruced up a hallway in your home? Working on any floral projects lately? Share below!

Director: David O. Russell
Rating R. Running Time: 2 hours
Stars: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver
Not since All in the Family has a current-day family-centered drama/comedy been so effective. Like its television predecessor, Silver Linings Playbook offers fascinating, complicated characters — all of them — whose interplay is utterly compelling.
Director David O. Russell, who was nominated for an Oscar for his 2010 filmThe Fighter, based Silver Linings Playbook on a novel by Matthew Quick. He has said that he took on the project because it was personal: his teenage son has had mental health issues. The story centers on main character Pat Solitano (played by Bradley Cooper of The Hangover), a 20-something man with bipolar disorder and anger issues who has lost his job, his home and his wife after an assault on a man with whom his wife was having an affair.
He has just emerged from a mental institution, where he spent several months as a result of a plea bargain. Pat moves back home with his parents, Pat Sr. and Dolores (a perfectly cast pair in Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver, who was nominated for an Oscar for Animal Kingdom), hoping to get back on his feet and to reconnect with his ex-wife, who has a restraining order against him. The Solitanos are a quirky, working-class group, obsessed with the Philadelphia Eagles, a team Pat Sr. and his buddies routinely bet more money on than they should.
While this very realistic group of family and friends is busy interacting, Pat meets Tiffany (played by Jennifer Lawrence, the promising up-and-coming star best known for The Hunger Games), a friend's newly widowed sister-in-law who lives in the neighborhood and has problems of her own, including depression. She persuades Pat to compete with her in an annual dance competition, an event she's long dreamed of doing, in exchange for helping Pat reconnect with his ex-wife.

Merck KGaA reports higher profits, raises full-year guidance
11:07 AM MST | November 14, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
Merck KGaA today reported a much improved third-quarter net income and organic sales in a challenging market environment and raised its Ebitda guidance for the full-year.
