"Salty and savory, the roasting method kills the natural bitterness of asparagus. Try it next to grilled fish or lamb."

1 bunch
thin asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tablespoons
olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
sea salt
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
I make this all the time, and it's unbelievably good! I use this recipe exactly, except I've never tried it with garlic. I'm going to try it next time! Also, instead of tossing the asparagus with the parmesan, I toss with all the other ingredients and lay in a single layer, then sprinkle the parmesan all over the top. I bake mine at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Oh, and a hint: if you line the baking sheet with aluminum foil, there's hardly any clean up!
I used half the salt and still it was way to salty. otherwise it was good.

I prepared the asparagus exactly as the recipe indicated, including all the optional ingredients. It was delicious, but very salty. I recommend reducing the salt to 1/2 tsp or 1/4 tsp.
I make asparagus this way all the time! Didn't know it could taste so good! Do add the garlic though...I don't use the lemon juice. 400 degrees for 10 minutes works in my oven.
Optional Parmesan, garlic, and lemon juice - a definite yes to all three! This is excellent and turned out perfectly.
Best way I've cooked asparagus yet! I coated the asparagus with everything but the parmesan cheese. Then when I put it on a foil lined cookie sheet, I sprinkled the cheese. When it cooked the cheese got crispy and gave it a kind of deep fried texture. It was great, and easy and will make it this way everytime.
Nice recipe, however I prefer my asparagus to be a little crisper. 12 minutes was too long for the thick stalks I had... 8 minutes would be about right at 425.
A tasty, easy-to-prepare asparagus recipe. Like other reviewers I would say 12 minutes is altogether too long for thin stalks. Six to eight minutes works for me. I added all the optional ingredients, except the lemon juice, halved the salt and oil (there was lots) and served with Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze (also from this site). Thanks for the recipe.

Comments On Oct 07, 2009:Where I live ATV's are street legal and these work great! I would recommend putting around 5 PSI in the rear and 7 PSI in the front or these tires are very squirrelly and tend to pull to one side or the other. They also seemed to get better the more I rode on them, sounds weird I know but it is true.

Social Studies Education
"Too many people equate social studies to what they remember from their school days—no matter how long it has been since they were in school. We need to communicate that social studies is changing to meet the challenges of today's world. It is not enough for students to memorize dates or locations on a map. Today's social studies provides students with the knowledge, critical thinking skills and experiences that will allow them to grow into effective citizens." -National Council for the Social Studies
Indiana Academic Standards
What are standards?
Standards outline what students need to know, understand, and be able to do.
Academic standards are benchmark measures that define what students should know and be able to do at specified grade levels beginning in kindergarten and progressing through grade twelve. The standards are promulgated as state regulations. As such, they must be used as the basis for curriculum and instruction in Indiana's accredited schools. The academic standards are NOT a curriculum; therefore, identifying the sequence of instruction in each grade—what will be taught and how long—requires concerted effort and attention at the district/school level. Academic standards do not prescribe any particular curriculum. Curriculum tools are selected at the district/school level and adopted through the local school board. No student, by virtue of poverty, age, race, gender, cultural or ethnic background, disabilities, or family situation will ultimately be exempt from learning the required academic standards, although it is acknowledged that individual students may learn in different ways and at different rates. Academic standards focus on what students will need to learn in order to be college and career ready and to be competitive in the job market.

Mary Karr
Philippe Bordas/Associated Press
News about Mary Karr, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Highlights From the Archives
Mary Karr, it seems, was pugnacious from the start. Her new collection also includes an essay called "Facing Altars: Poetry and Prayer," where she says she was "an unfashionably bookish kid" who, when she wasn't settling disputes with her fists, spent hours memorizing speeches from "Hamlet" and "Lear" and "Macbeth."April 30, 2006 booksReview
The Carefully Examined American Life, Continued
At the age of 11 Mary Karr wrote in her diary: ''I am not very successful as a little girl. When I grow up, I will probably be a mess.'' Writing, however, was already providing her with the tool of detachment to cope with her sense of estrangement, and she knew, as early as then, what her vocation would be: she wanted to grow up and ''write one-half poetry and one-half autobiography.''September 26, 2000 artsReview
Gritty Book Sets Prudence Aside
Mary Karr has written one of the rawest memoirs by a serious American writer in years: the story of her childhood in "the Texas Ringworm Belt," oil-refinery country where the cancer rate rivals Bhopal's and Chernobyl's, in a town Business Week called one of the 10 ugliest on the planet.June 27, 1995 artsNews

Ok. So I tried to keep this private with PMs and nothing has been done. There is another member on the forums that flat ripped off my custom avatar. For the sake of being civil I will not name the member. But I do see this as ripping off my hard work that I did for myself, as well ripping off my FH identity. I have sent said member two PMs. The second PM I remembered tp request a read receipt, and it has gone unread since November of last year. I also sent a PM to a mod about this, I cant remember who though, and never recieved a response.
Now I know there probaly isnt anything about stealing someone's avatar in the TOS. But I am not using one of the FH supplied avatars. And I would go to bat for any member if someone stole thier custom avatar or sig I made for them.

It also can be used to fade on and off using either a switch or a square wave, weather that be from a 555 timer, or your hard disk light, or pretty much anything else where you need a pulsing in and out (or throbbing) LED effect
its not perfect, but heck were looking at a total of nine components for the effect that can be had for little money and construction effort, and its a fun exploration of analog electronics
shall we?
Step 1: Parts
1 SPST push button switch
2 10k Ohm resistors
1 1k Ohm resistors
1 1000 uf electrolytic capacitor
2 2222 NPN transistors (pretty much any npn transistor will do)
1 Resistor appropriate for your LED
some notes
1) the switch could be substituted for a square wave if you dont want to manually hit the button
2) all values in my example are calculated for +5 volts DC
3) the LED I am using is a 10mm 20ma blue model from radio shack (I spent 3 bucks for it to get some good images from it and darn it I am going to use it!) so my led resistor is calculated for a led with a forward voltage of 3.2 volts, and a current of 20ma, please use the appropriate values for whatever LED you choose to use in your application
I want to build something like this to control three LEDs in mask that use the instant on/fade off version of this circuit. How would I have to modify this to control three LEDs running off, say, four AA batteries (6v)? I'd probably using LEDs like the one you used in your video clip.
let us know how it works out
I'll try it out and post pix or video about how it works out!
Mahalo (thank you)!
This is what i have been looking for SOOO long!
I have few questions:
Can i run this off of a 3v CR1220 or CR1225? They have about 30-50 milliamps of power, so i'm not so sure.
If so, do i need to change the resistor value of any resistors?
I will be using a 555 timer instead of a switch, and the circuit will be instant on and fade off.
my 0.02USD
As for the 220's, put a few in parallel.
I hate to be critical, but the schematic shows a SPST (single pole single throw) switch, not a momentary closed pushbutton.
Otherwise, this is an excellent little project.
besides I never really said not using IC's, I mean not using a computer, 555 is a analog circuit based around some basic transistor oscillators VS using a chip that has more computing "power" than I had the first 15 years of my life

Jenson Button was the first to admit that he got a bit lucky in Canada, but he was nevertheless pleased with the progress that McLaren have made.
Having started ninth on the grid in Montreal, Button appeared to be set for a scrap for eighth place at best but he kept plugging away all afternoon and managed to get ahead of both Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg on the final few laps to move into P6.
When Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa made contact and went crashing into the barriers on the penultimate lap, Button inherited fourth place, his best finish of the season.
"If you got caught in traffic it was difficult to overtake but I fought my way through in the end," Button said.
"The incident with Sergio and Felipe you don't want to see but they are okay which is good and I had that little dice with Fernando and Hulkenberg and went down the inside of both of them. It was a fun race and some reasonable points.
"In a straightforward race we wouldn't have finished fourth but I feel we are making progress with the car and the team should be happy."

Detachment (2012)
Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he's not alone in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Gallery: Solar-Powered Crystalline Towers Unveiled for Abu Dhabi
Aedas and Arup's design for the financial headquarters takes into consideration both traditional Islamic architecture as well as sustainability. The exterior is covered in a crystalline honeycomb facade that serves to temper heat gain from the sun. The pattern was generated by a mathematically pre-rationalized form which was derived from Islamic designs – it acts as a dynamic 'Mashrabiya' that opens and closes in accordance with the sun's path. Estimates indicated that the screen will reduce cooling loads by 25%.
Each tower will feature a double-height space at the top of the tower for receptions that features asoutherly sloping roof. Both roofs are equipped with photovoltaic systems that will generate around 5% of their total energy demand. The towers will also feature sky gardens that provide visual relief and amenity space for the workers while working to reduce solar heat gain. Landscaping around the towers will include a large body of water and a plantation of indigenous palm trees. The towers are expected to be completed by 2012.

Three LeFlore County junior high teams are a win away from making it to the Organization of Rural Elementary Schools (ORES) State Tournament next week in Shawnee.
In the Division II Area Tournament at McAlester's Frink-Chambers Middle School, the Hodgen Lady Bulldogs beat Broken Bow Holly Creek 47-14 last weekend and will play Brushy at 7 p.m. Friday at the same site for a trip to the state tournament. If the Lady Bulldogs lose, they can still go to state by winning the consolation championship at 5 p.m. Saturday against the winner of Friday's game between Holly Creek and Idabel Denison.
The Bulldogs lost their first game in the playoffs last weekend, falling 45-18 to Brushy. The 'Dogs will play in the consolation semifinals against Holly Creek at 6 p.m. Friday. The winner will meet the loser of Friday's area championship game between Brushy and Denison at 6 p.m. Saturday for a berth to state as consolation champions.
In the Division IV Area Tournament at Fanshawe, the Monroe teams, like the Lady Bulldogs, are each a victory away from state. After getting a bye, the Eagles defeated Shady Point 56-26 last weekend. The Warriors opened the playoffs with a 46-23 victory over Whitefield.
The Eagles will play Stidham at 8 tonight for the right to go to state. Stidham defeated Fanshawe 46-26 after the Grizzlies opened with a 46-18 rout of Stilwell Greasy.
The Grizzlies and the Warriors will meet at 6 tonight in the consolation semifinals, with the winner playing at 3 p.m. Friday for the consolation championship against the Monroe-Stidham game, and a trip to state.
The Monroe Lady Eagles, who also got a bye in the opening round of the Division IV Area Tournament, soared past Whitefield 46-36 and will play Stidham at 7 tonight for the trip to the state tournament. A loss will drop the Lady Eagles into the consolation finals against the winner of this afternoon's Fanshawe-Whitefield consolation semifinal game, which will tip off at 5 this afternoon.
The Lady Grizzlies opened the area tournament with a 47-14 win over Shady Point.

indoctrination, I noticed something interesting.
So an interesting coincidence came across me today
i was reading a Noam Chomsky article where he talks about how Adam Smiths philosophy has been butchered by the Chicago school of economics.
There are similarities between Karl Marx and Adam Smith between their philosophy on the division of labor. This seems to have been forgotten
Adam Smiths thoughts
page 4 2b) Karl Marx's thoughts
I just found it interesting that in this talk, Dan Ariely didn't notice that Adam Smith also had similar meaning to Karl Marx.
To me this sort of shows how massive the level of indoctrination and twisting of history has twisted today's society. It's even affected our intellectuals.
What are your thoughts?
Apr 12 2013: did you know that the classical theory of gravity and mechanics is a christian doctrine? it was created by a guy, called newton, that was a antitrinitarian monotheist. or wait, can we say that his views on other things do not bear any relevance on the theory he created? because it is not the person, but the theory that counts. we remember newton as the guy behind a successful theory. not a theory of the guy that was successful. the order matters. newton's theological work does not stand today. mechanics does.
chomsky talks extensively about "newton's religious views", that is, smith's selected claims about society. guess what, smith was wrong in many things, and also presented many ideas that might be true or false, but have forgotten since. what is smith's magnum opus? it is the wealth of nations you say. but smith himself considered another book of his the magnum opus, the theory of moral sentiments, which nobody heard of. why is that? because it is not smith and his genius that validates the theory. rather, the theory validates his genius. many of smith's theses don't stand today, debated or forgotten. but his theory about how wealth is created through the division of labor stands.
in that sense, the contradiction between the "smithian concept" and the "marxian concept" is indeed valid. and chomsky still does not understand it after these many years. probably he does not want to identify himself with marx, and reject smith. marxists are not a very good company.
Fritzie -
Apr 12 2013: What I value particularly in your comment here is that you shine a bright light on a very common logical fallacy. Indeed, it is not a person's genius that validates a theory but a theory that validates his genius.

Many people are brilliant or had a great insight in one particular area and have no particular insight into another. It can be something like when someone who plays a doctor on TV testifies in Congress about health care or when a legitimate specialist in botany makes claims about economics or physics. Or they can have great insight early in their careers and not at the end of their careers.

Apr 12 2013: Hi Douglas,
- +1
Many thanks for the links - the assembly is worth looking at.
My thoughts are that the division of labour is an extension of the natural fall into specialisation required by social organisms.
For it to be properly balanced - and so not to overstep its role, one must first understand the purpose of it.
To comprehend this, I have had to form a framework by which a distinction can be made between the individual and the emergent social entity that individuals give rise to.
This framework is based on the notion of perception. An individual alone has a field of perception tied to the field of senses - perception forms a distillation of sense data into information relevant to the well being of the creature.
By this process, even though the active perception is narrowed to the "informatum" at hand, the potential perception can exceed the field of senses - this has the affect of widening the field of perception beyond the field of senses.
For an individual, I call this enlarged potential perception "the primary field of perception".
When an organism become a social organism, the primary fields of potential perception are summed through the device of communication - this gives rise to the secondary field of potential perception.
Any increase of the field of potential perception leads to an expansion of the field of potential agency - if you know more, you can do more. This is remarked as "freedom" - but is not understood outside of this framework and becomes a meaningless utterance - a tribal totem.
The balance point then becomes identified at the moment the division of labour disappears from the primary field of perception. In other words, if the task is meaningless to the worker, he is deprived of the secondary field of perception and no longer adds value to the emergent entity of his own community.
Does that make sense?

Apr 18 2013: Many thanks John.
The dichotomy of positive/negative potential agency can also be cast over the self/other axis to form a measure of "morality". But in the end, the bell curve must resolve to the bias of the self - it is the self, after all, who approves or disapproves past agency - on the basis of the current field of potential agency - which in turn forms the history judged by future selves. Measurement is a retrospective activity.
Truth being the absolute energy state and the absolute causality is not available to the senses - the senses are limited to bandwidth dictated by the specific interests of the self plus a margin at the service of adaptive range. Perception extends this by the application of causality relative to self-persistence.
Darwin suggests that there is more than one self at work in these dynamics (the genome as a self), but the point(vector?) of agency defines the membrane of that self.
Here is where we can measure the beneficiary of specialisation.
Agency is key - who or what do you work for defines the entity which precipitates the agency.
Indeed, I spent a good deal of time helping corporate entities design their human machinery.
But inherent specialisation also exists - some are biologically defined .. the tribe functions because all the critical tasks are covered by virtue of age and sex. Beyond the tribe, we experiment with artifice .. but these are all tainted by the interest of the individual - which will bias the advantage.
I don't believe in laziness .. there is a better word - comfort. Understanding the mechanics of comfort will go a long way to understanding which side of the positive/negative an agency resides.
Indoctrination/propaganda/advertising/coercion is a symptom of artifice. Artifice is a symptom of biased interests. I would argue that the bias becomes less than the tribe when a tribe exceeds the biological limit to the field of secondary perception it generates. This is defined by brain capacity.Apr 18 2013: addendum:
The field of senses is also critical - such things as measuring instruments expand our non-artificial horizon. But the critical test of any such extension of senses is "real-time".
There are a bunch of idiots out there who prattle on about the "singularity" . none of them recognise the real-time limit to artificial senses.
Instead, they create new entities - new selves .. new mouths to feed .. in short - parasites.
The singularity then becomes dependent on the quantity of blood we can spare.
This is very heartening - the parasites will replace war as the cull mechanism that draws all species back to their biological self-limit - they die with their host.
A good thing I think - no less death .. just less blame. In the ultimate long term test of morality - blame has no place.Apr 13 2013: Perhaps I have an excess of confidence on humanity, and it is true that laziness can prevent us for doing so (double-check). But I am sure that when something rings a bell (in the sense of feeling that something is not according with your knowledge or experience) while listening or reading this kind of conferences, at least the listener or reader doesn´t use that information as if it were true instead of an opinion of a speaker.

Apr 13 2013: " I hope the audience clever enough to double check"
most certainly not
Apr 14 2013: I agree with your point of view, although I hope the audience clever enough to double check this kind of data as you have done. Thanks for the precise data. It helps to separate opinion from reality.Apr 13 2013: Don - I hope you are right. What you are talking about sounds more like John Wesley which is good, but even that man would admit while he studied and knew Jesus, he was not Jesus. The Grace of God is not the same as being sacrificaed for man's sins. But good job Don. I guess I got lost in the narrative, but i enjoy Noam Chomsky's writings too - not that I agree with or understand them.Apr 12 2013: It seems to me each generation of people has different frameworks of experience, which are largely affected by what was happening when they were growing up. For example the people who survived the poverty and depriviation of the second world war wanted to create a 'utopian' society where everyone was valued and the vulnerable 'cared for' etc. Children were treasured and well resourced and offered a vision of the future where 'anything was possible'. The next generation rebelled against their families and became 'the first teenagers' with this age group being amongst the first to have spare disposable income. The next generation wanted things instead of relationships so money (mainly in the form of credit) was necessary. The next generation are now facing the consequences and are feeling so angry and bitter and disenfranchised. Appreciate this might sound simplistic. There is something about each generations experience of hope and fear and each generations experience of their societies overarching frameworks in all of this. Value laden words like good and evil unhelpful but need to be viewed in the context of the way a community communicated at the time. An education where people feel safe to question and test and reflect and a society that offers that opportunity becoming increasingly scarce. Well done Mr. Renwick - do agree the idea that there is only a limited amount of interpretation and one truth does very much influence academia and creativity and ultimately the resources that make an economy strong and resilient.

Apr 15 2013: Sorry have said so many times before do not have the appropriate technical vocab for such a highly complex subject. I understood the conversation to be a mixture of philosophy and economics and ideological perspectives. From an experiential point of view noticing huge changes in working practices due to the impact of technology, whole raft of the 'small' jobs like secretary, telephone operator, mechanics etc, all being replaced by machines - this is great when everyone still has some access to a way to pay the bills but not great when most people living hand to mouth, for the economy as a whole. Adam Smith writing at the start of the Industrial Revolution when people moved off the land into the cities to provide labour in the factories. Karl Marx writing at a time of massive social change. Economies meant to run in ten year cycles but now complicated by interconnectedness of so many different economies. Do understand, can only offer word from sociological perspective 'anomie'. Other talks on TEd about how funding sources affect academic direction and yes so frustrating when so much potential and talent wasted because people not able to tick the right boxes. A strong skill set and enough creativity and imagination to resolve problems and sufficient individual reward - whicfh I always understood to be the American way.Apr 12 2013: Oh come on Adam Smith tells us man is evil. Isn't that sometimes true. Karl Marx gives us a great deal of Sunday school stuff. Want to know what happened to that guy in sandals with a beard? Okay if he were here today he wouldn't be crucified, he'd be assissinated like Gandhi. Myself - I prefer Ricardo.Apr 11 2013: You said ... "To me this sort of shows how massive the level of indoctrination and twisting of history has twisted today's society. It's even affected our intellectuals."
First I agree that we have been and continue to be indoctrinated ... and second it would depend on who you consider our intellectuals.
Reading Noam Chomsky articles will interfere with input from intellectuals ... you must chose which path to follow grasshopper ... you will never walk the rice paper if you follow bad advice said the master.
Karl Marx sat in the London libraries writing his thoughts and never reading the thousands of books surrounding him or interfacing with real people or experiencing real life issues.
As for Smith .. There is a great deal of conflict between The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations; the former emphasizes sympathy for others, while the latter focuses on the role of self-interest.
I can compare many people but it will always be made to serve the point I wish to make. By the way Smith was a bit of an odd duck ... he would probally have been evaluated and maybe even instituationalized in todays world.
Bob.Apr 11 2013: Ignore anything Chomsky says he is very confusing and IMO not useful but a liability.
I followed the link below your link to Adam Smith, this one:
Skip down to where Rothbard talks about the Division of Labor. I don't have time to read all of it right now but this should get you going the right direction.
I learned something after listening to Nail Ferguson I thought Smith was a God, Thanks.
Mitch SMith
Apr 12 2013: Hi Pat,
- +1
Many thanks for the link.. there are some good points there .. a lot of opinion, but the thought process is useful.
I disagree with both Marx and Smith on the point of the affect of meaningless repetitive labour tasks. Although it seems reasonable to assume that such labour will cause the mind to atrophy, it would take some empirical research to prove - a thing quite easy to do these days with FMRI technology. We have, for instance, found that the hippocampus will shrink with habitual use of navigation aids such as GPS units.
From personal experience, I found that mind-numbingly repetitive tasks actually freed my mind to explore ideas while the body was busy at mechanical work .. although this is anecdotal, it may lead to a better understanding that the Enlightenment thinkers failed to address - the assumption is that the mind was already prepared to think independently of the body .. this may not be the case for everybody. One has to ask - what went before? How is it some are crushed by repetitive work, while others are not? And why were Smith and Marx lead to believe the assumption that all would be crushed?
Have you any published work yourself? It would be great to explore your over-all theory in detail.
Apr 12 2013: A little context, Robard talks about plagiarizing, the truth is ideas have sex, so no one is completely original. But the importance of the service differential concept cannot be overstated. This alone solves the mind numbing work problem. The guy who cannot stand it gets himself educated to do something else, or he automates the process, or because of the service differential he figures out a way to trade with someone else through a mutually beneficial arrangement. This is the very process that has raised the standard of living of the world. Robard mentions that Smith did not apply this to foreign trade, major oversight.
I'm glad I read this as I like everyone else thought Smith was the father of economics where Robard shed some light on this for me.
Apr 12 2013: Yes, attribution is a fuzzy area. Smith gets the gurnsey because he articulated the ideas of his time - in the right arena for personal recognition .. whether or not he enjoyed it.. well, Jimi Hendrix was not around to enjoy the bulk of his attribution.
Also - the principle of service differential is obvious - when you see it done. The idea extrapolates into the incredible power of a free market.
The question of externalities is yet to be properly understood - this is the great failure of writers such as Smith, Keynes, Marx etc - and I suppose that, as you say, ideas have sex, this aspect will, in turn, fall to the children of ideas in the generation appointed to them.
The other notion that snags my curiosity is the incentive role of attribution .. we attribute prestige even though it is obvious that each breakthrough depends on the breakthroughs before it - and that many get the same idea at the same time. The practice and the reality are in conflict - and yet, no one would listen to me saying that the works of Hendrix were derivative .. though, I'd be hard pressed to argue that he was not unique.Apr 12 2013: Why are the practice and the reality in conflict?
Apr 12 2013: That's the million dollar question.
I'd be guessing, but it seems that the need for recognition from the point of view of the contributor is a function of the gregarious drive of the social animal .. Just what is at the heart of this gregarious drive .. I haven't found any empirical study .. Somewhere in there will be our answer.
The rational point of view is as you stated - ideas have sex ... and they are markedly promiscuous .. Galileo's telescope was a twin-child born from him and another guy, who's name we don't remember. James Watt did not invent the steam engine alone - he was the one who was awarded the patent. .. Of course, these examples are more folk-lore than reality .. but they get used to illustrate what happens all the time. In microcosm, we larf when 2 friends say the exact same thing in conversation. What Jung called "synchronicity".
So the need to own one's expressions .. I'd say is connected with the sense of security derived by our perceived value to others - right or wrong .. we seem to be wired that way.
What's your take?Apr 12 2013: I guess it is the difference between interesting and interested the line that is crossed when one start believing his own PR.
The one who makes the clam gets the reward. So there is benefit to being good at promotion which gives Edison the brass ring with poorer technology over Tesla.

An Indian Head man was arrested Jan. 16 after a woman, noticing her home in the 3000 block of Dick Simmons Place in Indian Head had been broken into, peeked inside and spotted him sitting on her couch, the Charles County Sheriff's Office reported.
Randolph Savoy was charged with burglary, theft and destruction of property.
The woman arrived home at about 12:22 a.m. and saw her front door had been pried open. She looked inside and saw Savoy on her couch playing with a television remote.
She called police, who responded and spoke with Savoy and searched the house.
Officers found evidence that Savoy had ransacked a room, stolen some items, eaten a piece of cake and used the woman's electric razor.
A computer check showed that Savoy had an open warrant for failing to appear in court on a prior charge of disorderly conduct.

Rescued pit bull saves 4-year-old boy
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. - One family said a pit bull they had fostered for less than a week came to the rescue of their 4-year-old son and saved him from a life-threatening health scare.
Christi Smith, of Brooklyn Park, Minn., said things seemed normal when she put her son, Peyton Anderson, to bed Oct. 2.
Smith said when Peyton woke up hours later to get a glass of water, TaterTot, the 10-month-old pit bull began acting weird.
"TaterTot was whining and barking," Smith, 28, told Goodmorningamerica.com . "I didn't think anything of it and just tried to get everyone to go back to bed."
Later that same night, Smith woke up again when TaterTot was running between Smith and Peyton's bedrooms and barking.
"I got up and went to check on my son and TaterTot was on the bed, trying to shake his bed, wake him up and lick his face," Smith said. "At that point my son was barely breathing."
Smith took Peyton to the emergency room and he was diagnosed with low blood sugar.
Although doctors say Peyton is not diabetic, they aren't sure what caused his blood sugar to drop so low. Doctors told Smith that the dog likely detected Peyton's ketones, a sign the body is burning fat for energy instead of using glucose, ABC News reported.
"A lot of people are saying it could be because he was producing ketones and that TaterTot picked up on it and that's why he started acting funny," Smith said. "He could sense something was wrong."
Smith had initially agreed only to foster TaterTot after he spent more than a month in and out of foster homes. Now, TaterTot is a permanent member of their family.
"Pit bulls just have a bad reputation, but they're actually great family dogs. They're really friendly," Smith said. "TaterTot and Peyton pretty much have been inseparable since the day that we got him."

Forgive me if Im late to the party, but a phin site revealed comments from Mike Dee on the logo change. I was especially pleased to read what Marino and Griese said about it.
"Dee said that three people have seen the logo from him personally. Dan Marino and Bob Griese were two of them and he said both former QBs and Hall of Famers said they nailed it. Dee said that the logo will incorporate a little from all versions of the teams logo. He said it would be more modern looking and current while still holding true to the essence of the logo itself. He mentioned the navy blue specifically and said they kept part of that in the logo as well."
From Phinphanatic http://phinphanatic.com/2012/11/14/d...anges-in-2013/
Should there be a sticky on current rumblings and rumors regarding the logo? Anyone else excited to see this thing?

En español l Some bodily changes can be seen as badges of honor: knees that turned arthritic from scoring winning touchdowns in high school. Once model-like figures lost — but worth it — from birthing amazing offspring. Gray hairs proudly "earned" from a lifetime of hard work and sacrifice.
But unflattering smells, sounds, leaks and other unwelcome episodes common after age 50 share one identical symptom: such embarrassment that two of three patients would rather suffer in silence than discuss the condition with their doctor, say researchers. Even before the Internet allowed for anonymous access to answers, surveys indicated that embarrassing ailments were the top reason why Americans didn't get a medical exam when they knew they should.
The problem is, remaining mum about problems can affect your overall health.
"Most embarrassing symptoms can be treated — often easily," says Donnica Moore, M.D., of the Sapphire Women's Health Group in New Jersey and author of Women's Health for Life. "But sometimes they indicate a bigger problem."
1. Bad Breath
Likely causes: Dry mouth, which can be caused by many medications, including those used to treat depression, high blood pressure, urinary incontinence, allergies and Parkinson's disease; eating sulfur-containing foods such as onions and garlic; gum disease and cavities; smoking or drinking coffee. But the top cause is poor dental hygiene — and interestingly, daily flossing to remove odor-causing trapped food ranks highest as the health habit "patients are most likely to skip or overestimate doing," notes Moore.
Do it Yourself (DIY) treatments: Combat dry mouth by drinking more water, eating saliva-inducing apples and celery, and chewing gum. Avoid toothpastes that contain the compound sodium lauryl sulfate. Along with brushing and flossing, eating probiotic-containing yogurt or supplements may control oral bacteria.
What a doctor may do: Search for a cause, because bad breath can indicate respiratory infection, sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes, and gastrointestinal or kidney problems.
Noteworthy: Some studies have found brushing your tongue (not just your teeth) reduced "bad breath measurements" up to 70 percent, reports the American Dental Association.

Prematurity Prevention
Premature Birth (fetal age < 37 weeks at delivery) is a major cause of newborn injury. The Prematurity Prevention Program at the Antenatal Testing Unit involves reviewing pregnancy history and outcome, obtaining appropriate tests, and following patients who are at risk for preterm delivery. The use of vaginal ultrasound to look at cervical length and dilation (opening of the womb) along with contraction monitoring can help identify women who are at increased risk for preterm delivery so that proper measures can be taken, if needed.

Kosher Dairy Dishes
|Huevos Rancheros
Adapted from a recipe from Davidson's Safest Choice Pasteurized Shell Eggs
Breakfast, brunch or dinner, Huevos Rancheros is a favorite recipe of ours. What a great way to "dress up" eggs - served on a bed of onions, tomatoes and green chilies and topped with Cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, green onions and avocado. A winning combination.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Heat skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and onions. Sauté the onions until brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
Drain chilies and add to onions. Add the tomato and stir until heated through. Divide onto 2 plates.
Add butter and melt. Crack 2 eggs and fry in butter. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to cook the whites. If you prefer the yolks cooked, keep on the heat a little longer, although not necessary for safety reasons. Repeat with other two eggs.
Place fried eggs on each plate over onions. Top with grated Cheddar cheese, salsa,
sour cream, green onions, diced avocado and cilantro (if using).
Yield: 2 servings
Recipes: Dairy, Eggs, Cheese, Kosher

Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
Chalet Illimani, recently completed in 2010, is a stunning family retreat which combines traditional Tyrolian craftsmanship with elegance and a relaxing atmosphere. This exclusive chalet has everything you could desire in a modern family chalet, while still retaining the look and feel of a charming Tyrolian home.
The chalet is located at the edge of a forest in a quiet sunny spot facing the Hohe Riffler glacier. Our dedicated driver service will take you to the St. Anton lift stations which is a short 6-8 minute drive. The village also has its own small ski area, ideal for children and beginners, which is a short walk from the chalet.The chalet is available on a self catered basis as well as a catered basis.
Set over 4 floors and approximately 400 sq. metres of living space, the chalet comfortably sleeps 8 adults and 4 children, and has a further staff bedroom for a nanny.
The spacious and elegant entrance hall with hand-made terra cotta tiles leads through double wood doors to the drawing room where a grand open fireplace is the focal point. It is furnished with aged leather chairs, antique Austrian hand painted furniture, Moroccan light fittings and a library. The open plan kitchen and dining area is designed as a traditional Austrian Stube comfortably seating 12-14. It has its own wood stove with a resting place on top which keeps you warm and cosy after a cold day skiing. Also on this floor is a guest toilet and TV room/study.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and high exposed old wood beam ceilings, a feature throughout the chalet. The first of the doubles has its own fire place and a walk in wardrobe and both have access to the large balcony. There is a further double bedroom on this floor and the children's room with 4 singles (2 bunk beds). The kids room has ample space and plenty of toys to keep the children happy. These two bedrooms share a large family bathroom across the hall with stunning Italian mosaic tiling.
The top floor is dedicated to the impressive master bedroom, with an ensuite bathroom and separate toilet. With its own private balcony, this is the perfect place to enjoy the stunning views across the Arlberg valley and its snow capped peaks.
Situated on the lower ground floor is the chalet spa, with everything you need to ease aches and pains after a demanding day on the slopes. There is a sauna comfortably seating 6-8, a cold water bucket shower and a relaxation area with large flat screen TV and drinks and fruits. Also located on the floor is the games room with table tennis. A separate external entrance down to this floor leads to the heated ski room, with boot warming racks and storage for coats, hats and gloves.

|Bike Vermont Foliage Tours
We have had several guests over the years tell us that they have taken tours by Bike Vermont and recommend the company very highly.
Bike Vermont offers 38 foliage tours and they still have some openings this year. The tours vary in length from three days up to six days, and range in cost from the low $400's to mid $1300's including lodging at some of Vermont's best inns.
Their website has a handy map with towns highlighted to see what part of the state each tour covers.
For example, the October 3 - 5 Churchill House Inn and Shoreham Inn tours have opening, and during the week of October 5 - 10 , the Historic Windsor County and Swift House Inn tours have openings.
And there is one discounted special you should take a look at: the "greatest views imaginable" on the Moose Mountain Lodge four day tour October 10- 13. The price has been reduced from $715 to $595. I wish I weren't working then - I would love to take this tour.
Other tours have openings and they do get the occasional cancellation so it would be best to call (800-257-2226) or email them to get the latest information.
I notice that they "strongly" recommend travel insurance. In fact, Bike Vermont even sends an insurance application with each confirmation. Recommending travel insurance is something I have been thinking might be good for me to recommend to our guests.
We've been running our inn about 8 1/2 years and in that time had just a very few guests who had a problem while traveling. One case involved a woman who got pneumonia while traveling through New Jersey and had to cancel her New England trip because she was hospitalized.
A few years ago, we had a couple here for a four night stay but their daughter got sick back home and they had to leave after just one night here.
There have been a few others out of thousands of reservations we've had over the years. But it's like most insurance: the vast majority of it goes unused.
Located in Woodstock VT, Bike Vermont is in its 32nd year of offering a wide range of Vermont tours during the spring and summer too. They also have tours in Maine, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy. You are welcome to ride your own bicycle but they have them available if you do not want to bring yours.

10 Pro Tips For Setting Up The Best Home Entertainment System Possible
March 20, 2014 via Pepsi
10 Pro Tips For Setting Up The Best Home Entertainment System Possible
So you're a video game junkie. Or is it movies? Reality TV? Maybe you're an audiophile that needs to hear the latest Diplo mix with the purest sound quality. No matter what kind, we're all lovers of entertainment, and we're always looking for the best entertainment experience possible. These 10 pro tips will ensure that next time you sit down to unwind, you'll be doing it in comfort and style.
1. Consider Your Space
Let's be honest: If you live in a 15x15-foot apartment, your place isn't going to need surround sound. On the other hand, if you're living in a mansion, a soundbar isn't going to do much good in your gigantic living room. Or what about the fact that your new entertainment system ends up taking up half of your floor space? It's important to think about exactly how large your area is, because otherwise, you're likely to get the wrong equipment for the job.
2. What're You Blasting Through those Speakers?
Do you spend your time watching exclusively action movies, or are you into nature documentaries? Are you bumping opera from the 1700's, or are you throwing on the latest A$AP Rocky Album? All of these considerations are essential in determining what kind of equipment you want. Some media require more powerful bass; others need the speakers to pick up on subtle tonal shifts. Don't just pick whatever equipment is well-reviewed — pick what suits your interests.
3. Think Ahead
Look, we know that 32-inch flat screen looks good in your current apartment, but will you still want it when you move to a bigger place next year? Or how about picking speakers with no way to connect to a subwoofer so you can save a cool $50, then having to buy a whole new system down the line? No matter what you're purchasing, you shouldn't only consider the base cost, but the future cost as well. Sometimes it's worth sinking in a few extra bucks to not have to go shopping all over again.
4. Choose Parts Wisely
It's easy to rely on brands you're familiar with and say to yourself, "I bet these speakers are quality," and then be kicking yourself a week later. Take the time to read up on whether gold-plated connectors are really worth the extra money, or whether one company's subwoofers really give you the bass you're looking for. Even an HDMI cable can be the difference between a crisp picture and a subpar one. Don't be lazy; do the research.
5. Mix 'n' Match
An extension of our last protip, it's important to remember that you don't have to get all of your equipment in one neat, tidy, package. Some companies make amazing speakers and terrible receivers. It's best to build out a system suited to what you want with all the best products in the market. Pay no mind to the sales rep trying to convince you that you can get all the parts you need from him right now, especially when some of these guys are working on commission.
6. All Bluetooth Everything
Maybe the creepy science lab look is something you're going for, but most of us want fewer cables in our lives, not more of them. That's why Bluetooth is so clutch. But it's not as simple as just having a smartphone or an entertainment system with bluetooth capabilities. You want your entertainment system to have an intelligent interface, too. This means being able to effectively control the source from your system, instead of bugging your friend for his phone every time you want to skip a track on his mediocre playlist.
7. Discs Are Dead! Do Digital
It's 2014. Blu-Ray and DVD are going the way of the dodo. And is that a CD rack we see? Look, you can drop $50 on an entirely unnecessary Blu-Ray player, or you can put the wonderful world of streaming to use. Whether it's through your smartphone, your laptop, or an app (most TVs and several music players have them), you can access countless streaming options, bother free and paid. Don't waste the surface area or the dough on technology that's practically obsolete — unless you're into vinyl records. What? They're retro.
8. Select Smart Software
Did you know that Amazon provides digital copies of eligible albums that you've purchased from them anytime dating back to 1998? No? Well, there's a digital music library you didn't even know you had. Or how about the fact that Roku can merge all of your streamed video or audio services into a singular, streamlined experience? The point is, your home entertainment system isn't all about the hardware. Invest some time in selecting what software will actually bring your entertainment experience to you, and it'll pay off handsomely.
9. Don't Be A Hero
After purchasing your home entertainment equipment, you might be feeling a little light in the wallet, and therefore reluctant to dish out any more of your hard-earned moulah. Well, you could end up costing yourself a lot more if you try to save money on installation without knowing what you're doing. For example, if you're hanging a TV or heavy speakers, do you know whether you need a bracket to support the weight? Do you know how much you can even lift? No? Then leave it to the professionals, or else you may find yourself buying new equipment — and maybe even paying medical bills, to boot.
10. Location, Location, Location
What's the point in getting your entertainment system and placing it in the completely wrong place? If you're going to be watching TV, do you need to worry about glare from the windows? If you plan on throwing parties, is having the speakers on the top floor instead of taking it down to the basement mean you're going to have to keep thing down for the neighbors? Don't limit your entertainment experience because of poor planning. Think it through!

The Robert Rodriguez collection incorporates the principles of haute couture: focusing on fashion, quality and fit. Each season is inspired by the latest European fabrics and through that, silhouettes are determined. Hand beaded tops sewn by artisans, hand worked jackets in the latest novelty fabrics, feminine, beautiful skirts and dresses, perfectly tailored pants and luxurious cashmere sweaters: all with embellishments finely crafted to compliment the fabrics and designs are always a part of the Robert Rodriguez collection.

A5 Hammer
Early A5 hammer designed, made and used by John Middendorf. He used it on his first ascent of Trango Tower and on many of his ascents in Yosemite. The A5 hammer became a staple on the aid climbers rack in the 1980's replacing the previously popular Chouinard hammer. Donated by John Middendorf.
