Recipe by ROYHOBBS
"This hummus is a family recipe passed down from many generations. Eat with warm pita bread."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 clove
1 (19 ounce) can
garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved
4 tablespoons
lemon juice
2 tablespoons
1 clove
garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons
olive oil
I'm the author of this recipe and I wanted to make a few updates. I now use cumin instead of the black pepper. You want 2 cloves of garlic overall. To adjust the texture between creamy and more solid (which is very good also) vary the amount of liquid you drain from the can. The more liquid the creamier, but lately I've been draining all of the can except for 1/2 cup. I now use 3 large tablespoons of Tahini instead of 2. I also take the salt down to 1/2 teaspoon and add it gradually as the blending occurs. Peanut Butter is no substitute for Tahini! If you're using peanut butter, you're not eating real hummus. Find it at an international food store
I'm sorry but this was a disaster, the salt was so strong that we ended up trashing it

This is a delicious recipe. I added a Tbsp of honey and used the whole lemon. I also toasted and ground whole cumin seeds for a super fresh flavour. Adjust salt to taste. I used only 1 Tbsp of olive oil for fat reduction, but I used extra virgin, so it still gave lots of flavour. Tips: 1 - some canned chick peas are slightly undercooked (crunchy) and should be boiled for 20 minutes or more before using (if you like a smooth texture). 2 - tahini goes rancid easily so buy it in a jar (not bulk) and keep it in the fridge. 3 - for easier digestion, discard the liquid in the can of chickpeas, rinse them, and use water for blending.
This is a pretty good starting point for hummus. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because of the name of the recipe. Not to be rude or anything, but because it's misleading. Hummus is a dish that has so many regional variations. And to try and decide which region's is more authentic is a biblical and political debate that I won't touch. BUT- This is pretty good. It may be a bit salty, but for some that's the way it's supposed to be! I say this as a woman with a Turkish mom, who was married to a Greek man (I know...) and who's been to the Middle East. It's like trying to post a BBQ recipe and calling it "Real BBQ". As is, it's good enough for those that just like hummus, but if you are looking for a particular style you may have to tinker with it.
Really good. To make it better, use chickpeas that you've cooked at home. I use 2 cloves of garlic. By the way, this is the classic "five-point" recipe for hummus. Chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, and olive oil. Anything else is a variation thereof.
A wonderful recipe! So easy! I make this about once a week. I use 2 15oz cans of beans, therefore I use about 4 heaping tbls of tahini, juice of 2 lemons (meyer lemons are so tasty in this); otherise I followed everything else as stated(the updated version). Sometimes I take the time to peel off the skins on the garbanzo beans...it does make a creamier texture but is really not that necessary...it tastes fantastic either which way...thanks for sharing!!UPDATE: I use one can garbonzos and one can black beans (rinsed and drained). With this I use only lime juice, otherwise all the same. AWSOME!! I never ever put olive oil on top....it's too perfect to dizzle oil on.
This is the fourth hummous recipe I have tried and this is a keeper. I added more garlic and left the chickpeas slightly lumpy. GREAT
Home-made hummus is the only way to go! I suggest adding the lemon gradually, to taste, because I used the full amount the first time and it was too lemony for me. I also added more garlic and didn't add the oil or salt since there's already so much sodium in the canned chick peas. Sometimes I add some marinated artichoke hearts to mix for some extra kick. And tahini is a must; peanut butter is no substitute.

Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at news-sentinel.com.
Q. Karen, so many people have tattoos today. Do you have a sense for the impact a visible tattoo has when somebody is applying for a job? I realize they are probably acceptable in certain creative fields, but in the business world, or in a medical office, what is the reaction?
A. Anyone seeking a job involved in the interview process needs to understand that every aspect of their appearance is being considered by an interviewer. What candidates wear, how they carry themselves and what is showing in the category of body art impacts someone's impression of a job candidate. And job seekers should understand that visible tattoos and body piercings can become a real obstacle in today's job market, especially if those jobs are in traditional settings.
Research tells us tattoos and body piercing have been around since ancient times and are nothing new, but the popularity for certain generations today can still be an obstacle when other generations are doing the hiring. Today's job market is very competitive, and employers have a great advantage. They can be very particular when it comes to hiring.
Everyone has the right to decorate their body in anyway they would like, but every interviewer has the right to reject someone who they think will not fit into their corporate culture or may give the wrong impression of their organization. Despite the fact that tattoos and body piercings are very popular today, for some people they still represent something negative. There was a time when tattoos were associated with convicts, and certain tattoo colors have been associated with gang involvement. One person's creative expression can mean something very different to someone else.
There are a lot of celebrities and other high-profile people with tattoos, but many of those people are not competing in the job market that the average person is competing in.
So, when seeking a job and going on interviews cover the tattoos with clothing or makeup and understand that many traditional work environments have specific guidelines about no visible tattoos in their employee manuals.
If you are considering a tattoo, be careful where you put it. If it is in a spot that can't be easily covered by clothing, you may find it to be a huge liability.
I suspect there will be a big market for tattoo removal in the future.

If you provide Internet marketing services, a good chunk of your time probably is spent preparing for meetings with prospective clients. If you could walk into a meeting with a concise look at how you can help bolster the prospective client's online presence, that can go a long way into helping you secure the job. In minutes, Raven can help you produce a report to show to your potential client to convince them that you're the right (wo)man for the job.
Ten minutes with the various research tools within Raven can give not only you, but also your potential client, a current look at where they are in the online space. Then you can build a dialog around where you think they should be—and how you can help them get there.
Research Assistant. Run the potential client's domain through the Research Assistant for a benchmark of where they are now before you start to work on the project. Run Research Assistant reports for their competitors for more insight.
Quality and Design Analyzer. Both tools show you a score that rates the current health of a website. It explains each factor in simple sentences, and the Design Analyzer also offers great tips for onsite changes that could be made.
SERP Tracker. Identify what you think would be their Top 10 keywords, and enter them into SERP Tracker. If you have time, you can let them run for a few weeks and show fluctuation in rankings. This gives you a great baseline to present what you could bring to the table.
Once you have researched where the client is in the online landscape currently, you can build a one-of-a-kind branded report to present them all of this data at your initial meeting. Here's how:
1. Go to Reports > Report Wizard
2. Fill in report details.
You can name the report anything you like, select the brand template of your choice and set the date range. For this particular type of report, you will probably want to choose "custom date range."
3. Select data sets of your choice.
This is where you can choose exactly what you'd like to include in the report for the potential client. If you would like to include a summary, you can add it separately, or even include it with the individual sections.
4. Select the individual metrics you want to include.
For example, you'll need to tell the report exactly what domain research you want to include from the Quality Analyzer.
5. Select "Run Report."
This will compile the report for you and will prompt you to save it as a PDF.
Have any stories you'd like to share of using a report compiled with Raven to help you land a new client? Or how about a new job, just like Adam? I would love to hear from you. It's always fun to hear about the different and inventive ways people are using Raven.

2013 ACM Awards blog
Tony's ACM blog....
I now know what it feels like to be a high school coach. You know
the one… For me, it was Jim Etter. He would always criticize the very
best athletes. He absolutely KNEW they could be better. Hard working
benchwarmers like me often got a "good job buddy" pat on the pack. I
maximized my talent.
The bare bones of cialis with mastercard the buy cialis tadalafil ACM Awards were good – they could have been so much better. I will now jeopardize any possibility of KSUX getting an ACM Award of any kind. The sound of the show was dreadful. Eric Church's performance unplugged and click now Blake's acoustic set were good – but, man – many performances (like Brad Paisley's) was not even mic'd up properly… Additionally, wire up one venue and let it ride – no need for that other building – that sound was off too. This is the same thing every year – this is why the CMA Awards remain the viagra 20 mg primo event of the calendar year. Ok, adios' KSUX ACM Award – You wouldn't hear our acceptance speech anyway…
The theme of the night "aside from technical problems" was a collaborative spirit of teamwork and chemistry among country artists. It seemed like half the talent roster popped up on the first song with Blake, Luke, Pistol Annies etc… Country stars dig other country stars – and it seems genuine. Watching one episode of Idol tells you that type of bond DOES NOT HAPPEN in other formats.
Highlights of which is better viagra or cia lis the night:
Little Big Town's "Your side of the Bed" – GREAT LYRICS that embody the greatness that is levitra online sale country. The two lovers on the bed didn't really mesh the concept of the song, but whatever..
Garth returns! He sounded great. Looked younger than when he left the spotlight. I guess a decade of rest and 300 million bucks in the bank will do that for a dude
Florida Georgia Line rules! – They picked up some hardware and have a spirit that plays well on television, radio and…hopefully a Sioux City concert stop?
Eric Church shines! – Not bad for a guy that got kicked off the Flatts concert. His "Like Jesus Does" was heartfelt and hat-less. Go figure!
The Band Perry – Riverdance meets Metallica – country style. Their performance was needed after a few acoustic ballads…
Miranda's speech about the women of country
Carrie Underwood's lipstick. Musically, she has matured so much from her time on indian generic cialis American Idol…
"Highway Don't Care" with Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and guitars from Keith Urban!
Man, I love that Paul Harvey Dodge RAM commercial – great placement on this broadcast…
Bummers of the show
Blake and online ordering levitra Luke went into hiding for the middle two hours of the night…
Rascal Flatts no show? I can't remember a show without them.
No Kacey Musgraves. She has the #2 overall cd on charts now and #1 country cd…. Plus, she was on CBS Sunday Morning News today – I thought they were priming the pump for tonight…
Aside from Miranda and Luke Bryan- the acceptance speeches not too noteworthy.
Overall grade – solid B
If, they would run a few laps around the football field in the production room of only today the ACM Awards – it could have easily have been an A.
We knew this guy put on a tremendous show at the TEC!

|Vermont Gardens and The Vermont Gardener Blogs
For the past month or so, I've had a link over in the left column to a blog called The Vermont Gardener. I've been meaning to write an entry about it for quite some time and now I'm finally getting around to it.
The Vermont Gardener is written by a perennial flower grower named George Africa. Or should I call him a farmer rather than a grower? Would he call himself a farmer? I know he owns a new tractor (I'm a little envious of that) and he sells the plants he raises so I think it's an accurate term but I'll have to ask him. And his business is called the Vermont Flower Farm.
It is one of the most enjoyable blogs I read and I look forward to the stories and the photographs. The only problem I have with the blog is that it makes me feel like a complete slacker. Our gardens look puny compared to his and reading the entires about the projects he has makes me want to get back to work just to keep up with him.
George has a job away from the perennial gardens but he must work another 40 hours a week around his property nurturing his perennials. His wife Gail, Alex, and Karl the wonder dog are involved with the business too.
Their Vermont Flower Farm is located about 45 minutes from us in a town called Marshfield (Google Map). I can't wait to get up there for a personal visit because the farm looks so beautiful but also because it's one of my favorite parts of Vermont and I have not traveled his road yet. The farm welcomes visitors and the plants are available for purchase or just for admiring.
The website is extensive and includes such items as tips on building a hosta garden, deer control, invasive species, building stone steps, virtual tours of the gardens from recent years, and an order form if you would like to purchase some plants online.
This is a great part of Vermont to visit. It is near the state capital of Montpelier, and not too far from Interstate 89 which you will likely find yourself on at some point in your travel here.
The town of Peacham is nearby and is one of the most photographed areas of the state. Don't miss Rainbow Sweets in Marshfield, one of the hidden gems we like to tell our guests about. I'll write an entry about them someday too but for now, trust me, you will be knocked over with the taste of their pastries. The owner is a memorable character too.
Another favorite spot of mine is the Molly's Falls Lake at Marshfield dam on Route 2 a few minutes north of Marshfield village. It's a beautiful lake undisturbed by development, surrounded by heavily forested hillsides, and it has a small parking lot and picnic area. Don't forget your camera - you will want to record your visit. You will have to double back a little bit on Route 2 to get to Vermont Flower Farm.
I'm pretty sure George must only get a few hours sleep each night because in addition to his job, his garden, his business, and the Vermont Gardener blog, he also has another blog called Vermont Gardens. Both blogs have lengthy and frequent entries.
Even though I am trying to finish the mother of all remodeling projects, I'm very much looking forward to taking some time off to get up to Vermont Flower Farm.

Baseball Bucs end drought with 7-3 win over Kennesaw State

Paul Hoilman
Saturday, April 23, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 23, 2011)
- The ETSU baseball team ended a six-game losing streak Saturday afternoon as senior
Paul Hoilman
(Johnson City, Tenn.) lifted the Bucs to a 7-3 win over Kennesaw State in the series finale at Cardinal Park.
Hoilman ignited the ETSU offense in the contest going 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs, scored three runs and drove in four.
Matthew Scruggs
(Knoxville, Tenn.) and
Derek Trent
(Kingsport, Tenn.) also had good days at the plate for the Bucs as Scruggs was 2-for-4 with two RBI, while Trent also had two hits and scored twice.
Derek Bushey
(Richmond, Va.) posted another strong start in the win for the Buccaneers (23-15, 12-10 A-Sun) limiting the Owls (24-19, 11-9 A-Sun) to three runs on seven hits with a season-high seven strikeouts.
Kennesaw State starter Josh Carr was tabbed with the loss after surrendering five runs (four earned) on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
In the bottom of the second, Scruggs singled in
Dylan Pratt
(Johnson City, Tenn.) from second to put ETSU in front 1-0. The Bucs added another run in the next at-bat as
Clinton Freeman
(Jonesborough, Tenn.) plated
Kerry Doane
(Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) on a sacrifice fly to right to make the score 2-0.
Andy Chriscaden hit his second home run of the series in the top of the third as he sent a three-run homer to right to give the Owls a 3-2 lead.
Hoilman then tied the game at 3-all in the bottom of the fourth as he led off the inning with his 11
home run of the season.
The Bucs regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI double by Hoilman to take a 4-3 edge. Later in the inning, Scruggs added to the Buccaneer advantage as he singled in Hoilman from second to make the score 5-3.
In the bottom of the eighth, Hoilman crushed his second homer of the game to left giving the Bucs a couple insurance runs to go ahead 7-3.

Women's Tennis Overpowers UNC Greensboro, 5-2
Friday, April 16, 2004JOHNSON, Tenn. (April 16, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team sent its seniors out with a 5-2 win over Southern Conference opponent UNC Greensboro on Friday afternoon. ETSU's four seniors Tatiana Arriaran (Cochabamba, Bolivia), Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.), Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine), and Aimee Villavicencio (Lexington, Ky.) were recognized at the match. The Bucs finish up the regular season with a 15-11 overall record and tied for fourth place in the Southern Conference with a 6-4 record, while the Spartans record stands at 4-13, 3-6. "It was a good win, and it's good to finish tied for fourth in the conference," said head coach Steve Brooks. "I'm proud of the seniors each of them earned a win on the courts today." ETSU secured the critical doubles point with wins from Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) and Irey in a 8-4 decision at No. 2 and McInnis and Villavicencio in a 8-6 final score at No. 3. Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) battled at the No. 1 slot against UNCG's Lindsey Peel and Carlin Kannan but fell 9-7. In singles action ETSU kept the momentum going with wins from Halim at No. 3 (6-1, 6-3), Irey at No. 4 (7-6 [7-4], 6-3), Ilyina at No. 5 (6-0, 6-2), and Arriaran at No. 6 (3-6, 6-1, 6-4).

Three Rosemont College seniors were honored February 11 at the last Rosemont home basketball game of the season. Derrick Carter, Justin Chaney and Tremell Green were on Rosemont's premiere men's basketball team, which took the court for the first time on November 19, 2009 (after the college went co-ed). The players will be remembered as the first graduating seniors who played men's basketball for Rosemont for the first four years of the program's history.
At guard, from Williamstown High School in Williamstown, NJ, #1, Justin Chaney. Chaney, a business major, led the Ravens in scoring, assists and 3-point baskets in the 2010/2011 season, led in assists and treys in the 2011/2012 season and led the team in 3-point baskets in its initial season of 2009/2010. Chaney is the first man to break into Rosemont's 1,000-point club, with 1,031 total points. He is currently ranked 4th in the CSAC in 3-point field goal shooting percentage. Chaney has also been named to CSAC All-Sportsmanship Team.
At forward, from Millville High School in Port Norris, NJ, #12, Derrick Carter who is an education major. Carter's collegiate basketball career blossomed this season, as he is currently ranked 2nd in the CSAC and leading his team in scoring, averaging 17.2 points per game. He also leads the Ravens in rebounds, pulling down over six boards per game and is 8th in the CSAC in field goal shooting percentage and 3-point field goal shooting percentage. Carter also leads this year's team in blocks and is 4th in the conference in blocks and is close to the team lead in steals. He was most recently named to the All-CSAC Second Team.
At forward, from BOK Tech in Philadelphia, PA, #23, Tremell Green. Green, an education major, ramped up his game last season and was a key ingredient in the Raven's run to their first post-season tournament. He has continued his great shooting, hitting on 49 percent of his field goal attempts this season. Last season Green finished 2nd on the team in rebounds. He averaged 9.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in the 2010/2011 season.

Practice Philosophy
Sometimes people ask why I decided to go into solo practice while also maintaining Clinical Adjunct Faculty at both Duke and UNC in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The answer to this is two-fold. First-off, I am grateful for the opportunity to operate a solo practice and to have personally hand-selected every member of our highly educated office staff. The CARE Plastic Surgery staff are equally as enthusiastic about plastic and reconstructive surgery. Not only are they highly educated, speak multiple languages and have advanced graduate school education, above all they are truly caring. I honestly cannot say that this would be the case if I had chosen to work in a large, busy hospital. As a private boutique practice we are able to offer extremely individualized and personalized attention to detail and service thanks in large part to our staff. Secondly, my passions also include teaching, researching and sharing innovative knowledge and breaking technologies not just with patients, but also with the plastic and reconstructive surgery residents. I consider it a great honor to be a trusted clinical adjunct faculty member at both world-class programs for UNC-Chapel Hill and the Duke Plastic and Reconstructive surgery program and an adjunct member of the medical school faculty.

I'm simply saying that refraining from dinner, at least out in public in front of laypeople, isn't really relevant in today's world, at least outside Theravada countries where people maybe become emotionally compromised seeing a monk eat past noon (meanwhile they're testing out their new amulets on chickens).
That sounds a bit too institutional to me, which leads me to think it was a later addition
That sounds like a convenient narrative to justify institutionalized rules and regulations.
And the Lord said to Ananda: 'Ananda, it may be that you will think: "The Teacher's instruction has ceased, now we have no teacher!" It should not be seen like this, Ananda, for what I have taught and explained to you as Dhamma and Discipline will, at my passing, be your teacher. ~~ DN 16: Mahaparinibbana Sutta ( http://palicanon.org/index.php/sutta-pi ... at-passing ) ~~
santa100 wrote:Indrajala, you've been giving the same kind of response whenever I cited sutta references about the importance of precepts (specifically the eating rule for monks).... I've done my part here and have nothing more to say. Peace..
"It is true, Kesi, that it's not proper for a Tathāgata to take life. But if a tamable person does not submit either to a mild training or to a harsh training or to a mild and harsh training, then the Tathāgata does not regard him as being worth speaking to or admonishing. His knowledgeable fellows in the holy life do not regard him as being worth speaking to or admonishing. This is what it means to be totally destroyed in the Doctrine and Discipline, when the Tathāgata does not regard one as being worth speaking to or admonishing, and one's knowledgeable fellows in the holy life do not regard one as being worth speaking to or admonishing."
David N. Snyder wrote:Theravada monastics don't eat beyond noon, but as you know are allowed the 'tonics' / medicine as needed.
Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:This is a Theravāda Forum — which not really the place to discuss Mahāyāna views.
Indrajala wrote:I sincerely hope people exercise critical thinking and don't try to recreate failing Asian paradigms in the new cultures.
Indrajala wrote:The Chinese have a Dharmagupta Vinaya lineage, which is not Mahāyāna. They eat dinner, too. They call it "medicine meal".
Indrajala wrote:So, eating past noon is bad, but selling amulets and other questionable practices is okay because it is part of the culture?
plwk wrote:I guess Ven Indrajala, this thread is discussing what it should be and not what it really is happening...
I too have my own experiences with such but what's the point of repeating about the obvious elephant in the room when the elephant knows it's not suppose to be there?
daverupa wrote:There are some key issues to do with local necessity versus global unity in Buddhism which are a Herculean task to address... this begins to approach one facet of that monster, I think.
BuddhaSoup wrote:Respectfully, eating past midday violates the precepts.
I might guess that the Buddha understood the Vinaya to be well enough understood that its precepts would be the roadmap for those on the path. So, it's up to all of us to determine how serious and focused we wish our own practice to be.
For the ordained, I feel that disregard of the Vinaya is the classic slippery slope that will lead to the Dhamma being diluted to the point of nonrecognition, one of the Buddha's great concerns. It didn't happen in the 500 years he predicted, but it's happening now quite nicely in the west.
Indrajala wrote:However, most monasteries and Buddhist orders are effectively dictatorships or oligarchies, which Vinaya proponents often seem to overlook. They'll insist on keeping archaic social customs and precepts, but the democratic procedures are overlooked or ignored.
So, in the absence of democratic sangha models and workable procedures for intelligent reform, we can ignore illegitimate ecclesiastical authority and simply do our own thing, like update the rules, ordain women, eat dinner, etc.
daverupa wrote:This is an interesting call to action. I wonder how we can make an even-handed assessment of illegitimate ecclesiastical authority...
It was apparently Mahākassapa that, undemocratically, said nothing would be changed and that all the precepts from before had to be followed, but what authority did he have to do that? What about the democratic procedures in the sangha for voting on things? Did Mahākassapa have the authority to make decrees as he purportedly did?
If we conclude in fact he lacked the authority to make such a decree, then we can consider such a decree unlawful and thus proceed with reforms.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard has designed homes for stars such as Sir Elton John, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, and Christina Aguilera. Recently he turned his talents to a vacation retreat in Punta Mita, Mexico (AD, August 2011). The owner, he says, was "interested in something with an international feeling—not exclusively Mexican—so we thought to add elements of Indonesia, Hawaii, and Morocco." To achieve this worldly aesthetic, he gathered exotic furniture, fabrics, artwork, and accessories from all over and added pieces from his own collection. Here we've rounded up a selection of his eclectic designs so you can imbue your home with the decorator's global panache.

42 U.S. Code § 7419 - Primary nonferrous smelter orders
(a) Issuance; hearing; enforcement orders; statement of grounds for application; findings
(1) Upon application by the owner or operator of a primary nonferrous smelter, a primary nonferrous smelter order under subsection (b) of this section may be issued—
(B) by the State in which such source is located, but no such order issued by the State shall take effect until the Administrator determines that such order has been issued in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
Not later than ninety days after submission by the State to the Administrator of notice of the issuance of a primary nonferrous smelter order under this section, the Administrator shall determine whether or not such order has been issued by the State in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. If the Administrator determines that such order has not been issued in accordance with such requirements, he shall conduct a hearing respecting the reasonably available control technology for primary nonferrous smelters.
(A) An order issued under this section to a primary nonferrous smelter shall be referred to as a "primary nonferrous smelter order". No primary nonferrous smelter may receive both an enforcement order under section 7413 (d) [1] of this title and a primary nonferrous smelter order under this section.
(B) Before any hearing conducted under this section, in the case of an application made by the owner or operator of a primary nonferrous smelter for a second order under this section, the applicant shall furnish the Administrator (or the State as the case may be) with a statement of the grounds on which such application is based (including all supporting documents and information). The statement of the grounds for the proposed order shall be provided by the Administrator or the State in any case in which such State or Administrator is acting on its own initiative. Such statement (including such documents and information) shall be made available to the public for a thirty-day period before such hearing and shall be considered as part of such hearing. No primary nonferrous smelter order may be granted unless the applicant establishes that he meets the conditions required for the issuance of such order (or the Administrator or State establishes the meeting of such conditions when acting on their own initiative).
(b) Prerequisites to issuance of orders
A primary nonferrous smelter order under this section may be issued to a primary nonferrous smelter if—
(2) the requirement of the applicable implementation plan with respect to which the order is issued is an emission limitation or standard for sulfur oxides which is necessary and intended to be itself sufficient to enable attainment and maintenance of national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards for sulfur oxides; and
(3) such smelter is unable to comply with such requirement by the applicable date for compliance because no means of emission limitation applicable to such smelter which will enable it to achieve compliance with such requirement has been adequately demonstrated to be reasonably available (as determined by the Administrator, taking into account the cost of compliance, non-air quality health and environmental impact, and energy consideration).
(c) Second orders
(1) A second order issued to a smelter under this section shall set forth compliance schedules containing increments of progress which require compliance with the requirement postponed as expeditiously as practicable. The increments of progress shall be limited to requiring compliance with subsection (d) of this section and, in the case of a second order, to procuring, installing, and operating the necessary means of emission limitation as expeditiously as practicable after the Administrator determines such means have been adequately demonstrated to be reasonably available within the meaning of subsection (b)(3) of this section.
(2) Not in excess of two primary nonferrous smelter orders may be issued under this section to any primary nonferrous smelter. The first such order issued to a smelter shall not result in the postponement of the requirement with respect to which such order is issued beyond January 1, 1983. The second such order shall not result in the postponement of such requirement beyond January 1, 1988.
(d) Interim measures; continuous emission reduction technology
(A) Each primary nonferrous smelter to which an order is issued under this section shall be required to use such interim measures for the period during which such order is in effect as may be necessary in the judgment of the Administrator to assure attainment and maintenance of the national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards during such period, taking into account the aggregate effect on air quality of such order together with all variances, extensions, waivers, enforcement orders, delayed compliance orders and primary nonferrous smelter orders previously issued under this chapter.
(B) Such interim requirements shall include—
(i) a requirement that the source to which the order applies comply with such reporting requirements and conduct such monitoring as the Administrator determines may be necessary, and
(C) Such interim measures shall also, except as provided in paragraph (2), include continuous emission reduction technology. The Administrator shall condition the use of any such interim measures upon the agreement of the owner or operator of the smelter—
(i) to comply with such conditions as the Administrator determines are necessary to maximize the reliability and enforceability of such interim measures, as applied to the smelter, in attaining and maintaining the national ambient air quality standards to which the order relates, and
(2) The requirement of paragraph (1) for the use of continuous emission reduction technology may be waived with respect to a particular smelter by the State or the Administrator, after notice and a hearing on the record, and upon a showing by the owner or operator of the smelter that such requirement would be so costly as to necessitate permanent or prolonged temporary cessation of operations of the smelter. Upon application for such waiver, the Administrator shall be notified and shall, within ninety days, hold a hearing on the record in accordance with section 554 of title 5. At such hearing the Administrator shall require the smelter involved to present information relating to any alleged cessation of operations and the detailed reasons or justifications therefor. On the basis of such hearing the Administrator shall make findings of fact as to the effect of such requirement and on the alleged cessation of operations and shall make such recommendations as he deems appropriate. Such report, findings, and recommendations shall be available to the public, and shall be taken into account by the State or the Administrator in making the decision whether or not to grant such waiver.
(3) In order to obtain information for purposes of a waiver under paragraph (2), the Administrator may, on his own motion, conduct an investigation and use the authority of section 7621 of this title.
(4) In the case of any smelter which on August 7, 1977, uses continuous emission reduction technology and supplemental controls and which receives an initial primary nonferrous smelter order under this section, no additional continuous emission reduction technology shall be required as a condition of such order unless the Administrator determines, at any time, after notice and public hearing, that such additional continuous emission reduction technology is adequately demonstrated to be reasonably available for the primary nonferrous smelter industry.
(e) Termination of orders
At any time during which an order under this section applies, the Administrator may enter upon a public hearing respecting the availability of technology. Any order under this section shall be terminated if the Administrator determines on the record, after notice and public hearing, that the conditions upon which the order was based no longer exist. If the owner or operator of the smelter to which the order is issued demonstrates that prompt termination of such order would result in undue hardship, the termination shall become effective at the earliest practicable date on which such undue hardship would not result, but in no event later than the date required under subsection (c) of this section.
(f) Violation of requirements
If the Administrator determines that a smelter to which an order is issued under this section is in violation of any requirement of subsection (c) or (d) of this section, he shall—
(1) enforce such requirement under section 7413 of this title,
(2) (after notice and opportunity for public hearing) revoke such order and enforce compliance with the requirement with respect to which such order was granted,
(3) give notice of noncompliance and commence action under section 7420 of this title, or

One or more culprits set off an improvised explosive device Saturday night at the base of a concrete mailbox pad at the intersection of Great Mills Road and Forest Run Drive in Lexington Park, state investigators report, resulting in $500 damage.
Bay District volunteer firefighters dispatched to the scene shortly after 9 p.m. and had the matter under control within one minute after their arrival, according to a notice of investigation filed by deputy state fire marshal Melissa Bean.
Saturday's incident followed the discovery of an improvised explosive device detonated behind Nicolletti's Restaurant off Route 235 in California last Wednesday night, resulting in $5,000 damage to a parked vehicle and the surrounding grounds.
The fire marshal's office has requested that anyone with information about the incidents call the investigators at 443-550-6834.

Koppers cuts guidance on weak European demand
1:27 PM MDT | July 16, 2013 | Vincent Valk
Koppers says it is cutting its second-quarter 2013 earnings guidance by about 32%, to 66–70 cts/share, down from $1.00/share previously, on "volatility in demand and pricing" due to the weak economy in Europe. The company also expects full-year 2013 adjusted earnings to fall below 2012 adjusted earnings of $3.27/share, though it has not released a specific new guidance for full-year earnings. Analysts expect Koppers' second-quarter earnings to total 93 cts/share and its full-year earnings to total $3.30/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters...

For many, riding the subway is just part of the daily grind. Swipe your card, run down the stairs, miss the train. Wait for the next one, pile in, turn up the volume on your music, walk past that busker. Go to work, and eight to 10 hours later repeat in reverse. But, we want to put an end to all that.

The park director at the Monty sent me an email today. It goes as follows:
"We have a timber crew moving in they will get any and all trees we mark for removal. the only catch is we need to do it in a hurry. They could move in as early as next week."
We still have at least 3 holes to go in the woods----and tons of room for them. If you are interested in designing a hole or two, please pm me or respond below. The amount of work these guys will do in a week is as much or more as work days etc would get done in a year.

In basketball, the point guard is the coach on the floor, making sure his team runs the offense properly, keeping his teammates involved, getting the ball to the scorers when they're open. In football, the quarterback does much the same, only with the added danger of facing the 300-pound defensive linemen eager to separate man from ball.
But in baseball, the catcher is a different kind of animal altogether. He's a scout and a coach. He's a psychiatrist and a self-help therapist. He's the first one to sacrifice his body and the last line of defense. And if he wants to make big-time money, he's going to have to hit, too.
"It is the most difficult position to play over the course of a whole season in all sports, and the demands are very real," says Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who caught nearly 1,400 games in a 13-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Not only the demands physically, but the demands to perform when you're not feeling 100 percent, the mental part of it. It's extremely taxing."
That's a strong statement, and Scioscia should know, as in addition to his many years as a catcher, he also played high school football. Of course, as happens when discussing any topic like this, not everyone is going to agree: "Quarterback is probably way tougher, to be honest with you," says Cleveland Indians catcher and former high school quarterback Lou Marson, citing football's speed and playbook complexity as the difference makers. "But yeah, (catching's) definitely tough."
No matter what side you come down in the issue, there is no doubt that catching belongs in the discussion among toughest jobs in sports, if not the toughest of all.
Any discussion about the hardships of catching has to begin with the physical toll it takes on an athlete's body. Foul balls frequently glance off various body parts. Pitchers throw wild pitches in the dirt, and the catcher must throw himself in front of it to keep runners from advancing. Long swings by batters occasionally club the back of the catcher's helmet, or his outstretched hand. And catchers are marked men whenever there is a close play at the plate. Dare to block the plate and the runner might assume the role of linebacker, flying in at breakneck speed for a vicious collision.
And then there is the non-stop squatting. Up and down, up and down, thousands of times over the course of the six-month long season, often through three- and four-hour games in the stifling heat of Texas, California, Florida and Georgia.Mike Scioscia on catchers playing with pain
In Scioscia's estimation, a catcher might be 100 percent physically on the first day of the season, and then it's all downhill from there. The strain will cause a catcher to lose weight, and thus strength, over the course of the season. Kurt Suzuki of the Oakland Athletics, a bit slight for the position at 5-11, 190 pounds, says he changed his diet radically over the offseason, bulking up to 205 to help him keep from wearing down as quickly during the long season.
"It drains you," says San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, a former catcher who logged more than 800 games behind the plate between the majors and minors. That's why a lot of guys aren't able to do it, and I always admire guys who can catch 140-150 games (in a season). That's not easy to do. It's tough on a body, and by the time you get to August or September, they're feeling it."Bruce Bochy on physical and mental challenges
Every catcher has a different way of dealing with the wear and tear, but the bottom line is that's exactly what they all must do. They know it's just part of the job description.
Seattle Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo claims that the most difficult time is the first two months of the season, when his body is adjusting to being sore every day. Eventually, he says, "your body gets numb. . Then, you're in pain so much of the time, you don't even feel it anymore. Last year I got hit so many times, I got used to it."
"You go through stretches where you're really feeling it," Posey says. "Maybe you get beat up a little more with foul tips and what not, and then you have a couple weeks where you feel good. So I think it's just a matter of trying to take care of yourself off the field as much as possible."
As physically strenuous as it is to play the position, most catchers say that it's the mental aspect of the job that is truly draining.
"You've got to be mentally tough, as well as smart," says Seattle Mariners third base coach Jeff Datz, who is also in charge of the team's catchers. "Know the game, run the game, lead the game. You're a leader by position, and we want our guys to take charge whether they're 22 years old or 38 years old."
Datz is charged with instructing Jesus Montero, a 22-year-old slugging phenom who has much to learn about the non-hitting requirements of the position.
"It's a process," says Datz, preaching patience. "Guys don't usually step in and shine right away."
And running the game is, when it comes right down to it, the catcher's main job. Every position player is expected to hit, but for most catchers, hitting comes secondary to defense and game planning. Last season, for example, 56 major leaguers hit .280 or better and only three of them (Yadier Molina, .305; Alex Avila, .295; Miguel Montero, .282) were catchers. And of the 64 players to hit 20 or more home runs, only three (Carlos Santana, 27; Brian McCann, 24; Matt Wieters, 22) made their living behind the plate.
There is just so much more to the job description. Catchers must scout opposing hitters, watching video and pouring over statistics in order to formulate a plan for each game. Every series requires a new plan for a new opponent, and adjustments are made from game to game depending on what happened the night before. All of this in addition to getting time in the batting cage to hone their hitting stroke.Kurt Suzuki on a catcher's many tasks
"I'll get to the field early enough to where I can go in the cage and hit, and do all my scouting reports," says Suzuki, a career .258 hitter. "I take a lot of time scouting. You're looking at video, looking at charts, looking at stats. I get there early enough to where I do all that, and still have enough time to go in the cage and get my hacks in."
Once the game begins, the job is not done. A catcher must adjust his plan depending on how his pitcher is throwing that day. Sometimes a pitcher's best ammunition might not be working, alternatives are necessary, and a catcher must improvise to get his hurler as deep into the game as possible.
"It's very similar (to playing quarterback) because the quarterback is in charge of the huddle," says Leary. "And even though the pitcher has the last say because the ball is in his hand, the catcher is there to guide him."Kurt Suzuki on what makes all-time great catchers great
And when things go awry and the pitcher begins to lose his composure, the catcher must coax him back into the game mentally. Sometimes it takes a pat on the back, sometimes it takes some tough love, but when it comes to pitchers, it's not one-size-fits-all.
Bochy remembers once heading to the mound to confer with veteran right-hander Goose Gossage, a future Hall-of-Famer closer and gruff intimidator on the mound. Gossage wasn't exactly welcoming to visitors on his mound, and dismissed his catcher with a curt "OK, I got it."
"Everybody is different," says Bochy. "You have to go out there with one guy and give him the business, the next guy you may have to support, to give him some confidence. So everyone is different and you have to understand that."
With so much on the catcher's plate, you would think that attention, acclaim and money would come with it. But by and large catchers don't get much attention unless they also happen to be great hitters, regardless of how well they play defense, handle pitchers and call games. Among all Major League Baseball players, only relief pitchers ($1.95 million) are paid less on average than catchers, who make just more than $2.5 million a season.
This tells you something about baseball's value system: It pays to hit, not to catch.
One reason for the pay disparity is that good hitting catchers are often moved to less taxing positions to save wear and tear on their bodies. Players who are able to take the pounding and continue to be elite hitters are rare. Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins was just such a rarity. But Mauer, a career .323 hitter and the only catcher in baseball history to win three batting titles, has also seen his share of injuries, playing only 82 games in 2011 - 52 of them behind the plate.
The lessons of Mauer and Posey have made teams wary of losing a great hitter to a catching-related injury. Leary understands this, and is charged with teaching proper defensive techniques to Cleveland Indians catchers - including their own young slugging phenom Carlos Santana, who missed nearly half of the 2010 season to a frightening knee injury - to help reduce injury risk.Rob Leary on the value of catchers
"Those guys don't just drop out of the sky," says Leary. "So when a Carlos Santana loses half a season, when a Buster Posey misses a whole season with a really nasty injury, you're talking about a guy that's in the middle of your batting order. Those are huge, huge losses for a team."
But what about the average catchers, the non-elite hitters? With all that they do on a daily basis, are they undervalued? Suzuki doesn't think so, saying that hitting is "just what organizations lean towards. It's hard to find a guy who can hit .300 with 35-40 homers you know? I think those guys are a little bit higher on the priority list."Mike Scioscia on status of catching around league
But maybe it's time to appreciate the craft a little bit more, and realize that hitting is only a small portion of what a catcher handles on a daily basis.
"We're the hardest workers of anybody on the field," says Olivo. "One little mistake we make, and the game is over. One bad (pitch) call, you don't block the ball with a man on third, or you make a bad throw. Little things.
"People need to realize that and give more credit to the catcher."

JOHNSONBURG – Despite another dual meet loss Tuesday night at home against visiting Brockway, the Rams saw several bright spots in their short lineup.
"We don't expect to win any dual matches but we're looking for individual improvement every week, and the kids haven't disappointed us," said Johnsonburg head varsity wrestling coach Tom Launer following the home team's 55-18 loss. "They come to practice and work hard, and we're happy with the way the season is going."
