Comments On Jun 02, 2013:I really hate the way this helmet fits. I got the helmet and tried it on. It was hard to get on but felt fine once on my head. I went to a race and took my new helmet. first thing I noticed was my goggles would not fit in the eye socket. They would not touch my face except the end of my nose. the next thing I noticed was as soon as my head got hot it was like the helmet got a size bigger so it was bouncing around on my head and falling down in the front which meant the goggles were now on the tip of my nose making it hard to see and breath. And it hurts my ears taking it off so I cant imagine getting a smaller size.

Comments On Jun 05, 2013:helmet is a great fit, and for the price I paid graphics are decent enough that and I don't look at my helmet while I ride so graphics are not that important.

Comments On Jun 05, 2013:I'm impressed with this helmet so far. Other reviewers have mentioned they run a little small in size. My head measured at the top end of the medium range, so I bought a large. Fits me perfect. Its snug but doesn't have any pressure points to cause discomfort. I'm thinking about buying another just to have on hand in the event this one gets damaged.
Additional Comments On Jun 05, 2013:I forgot to mention that I haven't ridden in this helmet in real hot weather yet. If the venting works good there this just might be the best helmet I have had yet.

I'm curious — how many internal audit departments are still devoting time to U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 testing? I'm guessing this is pretty routine by now. Testing starts by identifying the material accounts or processes, maybe even with a risk assumption for susceptibility to understatement (liabilities), theft (cash and receivables), or a high degree of estimation (inventory obsolescence, bad debt). The process is all very well documented, the templates are pretty, and there's nowhere near the drama of the early years, before the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5.
We seem to be in a good place now. There is more rigor around the testing processes, and company employees understand what is and is not a "Sarbanes-Oxley control." Documentation is usually easy to update, and the testing happens without much hoopla. Currently, my department has no direct responsibility for Sarbanes-Oxley testing — that responsibility lies with a fully dedicated team that reports outside of my organization. Internal audit, in this case, periodically evaluates the Sarbanes-Oxley process for quality and effectiveness — much like what the external auditors used to do under the old rules. This structure has allowed my team to fully devote our time and attention to more traditional audit areas — including audits of systems, compliance, and operations — while still performing an appropriate number of financially focused audits.
But, no matter how you're structured, let's not forget the Sarbanes-Oxley testers who, while no longer in the spotlight, still perform important work in a diligent and professional manner. They still find ways to streamline, automate, and simplify their processes each year while not compromising the objectives. Whether in internal audit, performed as a self-assessment with or without external verification, or performed by dedicated Sarbanes-Oxley teams, these individuals still deserve a loud and boisterous round of applause and the thanks of those who rely on their work to certify to the accuracy of the financial statements.
For those of you who work at companies with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements — what percentage of time does your internal audit department devote to Sarbanes-Oxley testing or project management? What percentage of time would you like to devote to these efforts?

We have a soft spot for scouring Etsy, no doubt about that. But, despite our affinity for the craft-centric e-shop, we're always tickled to come across a head-turning bricks-and-mortar spot. So, when one of our go-to Bay Area Etsy vendors, James Rowland, opened up a store in Berkeley, we knew it had to be stuffed with the same online goodies we'd adored for eons. And boy, is it … and then some, thanks to a collection of vintage pieces from Prada to Jil Sander, local artisans galore, a muted color palette, plant-laden decor, and a memorable soundtrack.
So, naturally, we've wanted to meet the chic mastermind behind the curtain, James Rowland's co-owner Amy Blaustein. The pretty lady granted us entry into her eye-popping vintage collection (which she proudly modeled for us) and her quaint shop. Want to see just how this Berkeley babe rolls, sartorially speaking? Trust us, you'll be inspired.

Thank you to the nearly 100 volunteers who helped The Friends of the Parks of Allen County Inc. at the May 4 Revealing Our Rivers event. This event was made possible through collaboration with Tri-State Watershed Alliance, Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department, the city of Fort Wayne, Downtown Improvement District, the Crossing Education Center, Park Center, and numerous neighborhood volunteers. Volunteers worked hard to take down invasive trees and vines, trim trees, chip brush, and pick up trash to clear vistas at seven sites along the St. Marys River. As you are enjoying the Rivergreenway and the TRF Raft Race this summer, you will be sure to enjoy the views created through this event.

Since no other quarterback in the draft could hold a candle to Devlin in terms of being very accurate across multiple seasons, it is absurd that no team was willing to reward him for his college football career. He should have been at the very least highly drafted. In a perfect world, he would have been the first quarterback chosen.
Devlin's college career is also superior to the career of former Delaware and current Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.
For his college career, Flacco completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 7.5 yards per pass attempt, both worse than Devlin's 66.0 completion percentage and 7.8 yards per pass attempt.

Springtime is here and with warmer weather comes more time spent outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine...and shorts, tank tops and flip flops. While it is exciting to get our spring wear out, trying them on for the first time of the season can be a bit of a let down. Pale, pasty limbs look out of shape and out of place — not exactly a confidence booster.
While hitting the gym and spending some time outdoors is healthy, it is not a short term fix. Don't you wish you could shape up, or at least look you have, in an instant? We may be able to help you out step out into spring with confidence.
A hit of color goes a long way in restoring body confidence, helping to hide flaws and keeping you from looking like you've been under cover for months. If you have tried our self tanners you know that a natural looking tan, minus the streaks and orange palms, is more than possible and now it is even simpler to achieve.
The latest addition to the Lavera Self Tanner line-up is Glow & Go Spray Self Tanner. It works just like it sounds - simply spray onto legs, arms and body, massage into skin and in few hours you will be glowing with subtle color. Glow & Go is a lighter consistency than the Self Tanner Lotion, but still provides moisture and is very easy to apply. Added bonus: a slight hint of shimmer that leaves skin glistening.
To help make application and results as even and consistent as possible, follow these simple guidelines:
Exfoliate prior to use — Shaving legs and using a body exfoliant on arms and other areas of the body will provide a smooth surface for an even tan.
Even application — Spread product evenly over skin in a smooth fluent motion, concentrating on one area (leg, arm, stomach) at a time. Use less product on elbows, knees and ankles.
Allow to dry — Wait 5 minutes or so before dressing to allow the product to dry.
Lavera Glow & Go Spray Self Tanner is made with 100% plant and sugar-based tanning agents, organic plant extracts and pure aloe vera. The fast, easy application and sun kissed glow will make this a spring and summer time staple.

All right the dish is a bit of a potschke, but it is complexly flavored, amazingly delicious and satisfying. This do-ahead dish is perfect for lunch after synagogue or a weeknight supper.
For the sauce:
For the eggplant:
For the béchamel:
1 cup parmesan cheese
Make the sauce: Heat a large sauce pan, lightly coated with olive oil, over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until golden brown and very fragrant. Be sure to season the onions with salt and pepper.
Add the zucchini and continue cooking until the zucchini has softened and is light golden brown. Season the zucchini with salt and pepper.
Add the garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until the garlic is very fragrant and is slightly softened.
Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Prepare the eggplant: Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and season each eggplant with salt and pepper.
Place 1 cup potato starch on a large sheet of parchment paper.
Place the remaining cup of potato starch and matzo meal on another sheet of parchment paper. Add the herbs to the potato starch and matzo meal mix.
Whisk the egg whites with 3 tablespoons of water and place the egg whites in a shallow large bowl.
Heat a large sauté pan. With 1 ½ inches of olive oil, over medium heat. Dredge a piece of eggplant in the potato starch, then the egg whites and finally the herbed matzo meal.
Place the eggplant in the sauté pan and cook on each side until brown and crispy. Transfer the eggplant slices to a paper towel lined sheet pan.
Prepare the béchamel: Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the shallot or onion, and cook, stirring, until softened, about three minutes.
Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for about three minutes until smooth and bubbling but not browned. The paste should have the texture of wet sand.
Whisk in the milk all at once, and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn the heat to very low, and simmer, stirring often with a whisk and scraping the bottom and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and lost its raw flour taste.
Assemble the dish: Preheat oven to 350.
Place eggplant slices in the bottom of an 11 X 15−pan. Generously dollop 1/2 tomato sauce over the eggplant. Layer 1/2 of the béchamel sauce over the tomato sauce. Add 1 more layer of eggplant, tomato sauce, béchamel sauce and finally sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake for 45 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and the cheese has lightly browned.
Allow the Moussaka to sit for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Yields: Serves a crowd
Recipes: Passover, Casserole, Eggplant, Dairy, Kosher


text: Not all Napa Valley Chardonnays are created equal. A stick of viscous oaky butter, this wine is not. Swanson Chardonnay offers proof that this French-inspired classic has a comfy home in Carneros. Aromas of guava and Meyer lemon zest are evident in the nose. The body is surprisingly full as the wine envelops the palate in luxurious wild honey, peach, apple and lemon-scented flavors. A downright seductive Swanson original.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
What are some good drivers to use if I do not have a whole lot of snap.
Views: 26
Gotta second all of these but the Tee Bird. A brand new Tee Bird is a tad stable for newbie distance drives until it breaks in.
Also I'd say if you aren't throwing over 300 just get an overstable mid like a Roc or Buzz and stick with those until you see significant improvement.
If you want to hit 275'-300 with a nice flex and not a lot of power then Champion Sidewinder is for you. I have had to retire all of my old DX plastic & have bought just about every new disc out there (Innova & some Discraft)
So far the Champion Sidewinder has become my go to open field driver. I also keep a 150 and 165 Star Sidewindeers in my bag. In the woods I have been using a Star Leopard.
I have just got a Glide & Buzz to see how they work for me. I'll keep you posted.
I would recommend an Avenger SS, lots of glide. easy on the hands in esp, and also is made in 150 class. Might also think about a Stalker, nice fairway driver and just as eay to control because of the smaller rim.
I would have to agree with many of the discs people have brought up due to them being understabe which is amazing if you have the room for a big swooping s curve to get distance but i will also throw this out there... Discraft Stalker or Tracker! These discs are just plain stable, they hold a line like a Buzzz (will go where ever you point it). i use them for all kinds of thing, mainly tunnel shots but as far as beginners go... these guys are meant to go along way with minimal effort and snap with very little fade at the end of flight.
And you will love to throw these discs long after you drop your beginner status. When you figure out your snap, realease these guys at 7 oclock and watch flip then glide up to 400' (no joke... cool discs)
I threw my New Elite Z Stalker for the 1st time Yesterday. I Friggin' LOVE that that thing. Throwing into a head wind in a field. It would try and turnover ever so slightly. Put a tad bit of hyzer on it and Zoom. Away it went. AWESOME disc! Wasn't getting 400ft out of it, but it goes Nice and Straight.
The ESP Cyclone flew AWESOME too. A lot like the Stalker for me, just fades MUCH harder at the end. Both EASY discs to throw!
just keep hukin different discs in different weights man, take the time to learn what you can throw best not what others can

Dear Ms. Vicki,
My husband and I are both in the Army, and we have one daughter. During each of our three deployments, my family in Texas has taken care of my daughter.
My problem is that my family doesn't do anything that I ask them to do. First of all, we are vegetarians. I have asked my family to let my daughter adhere to a vegetarian diet. When we deploy and leave my daughter in their care, I get pictures of my daughter at family reunions and at barbecues eating ribs, pulled pork and God-knows-what else. Ms. Vicki, I don't want an obese nine-year-old on my hands.
The second problem is that I don't believe in cornrows for her hair. It will only break off the edges and I also think cornrows are ghetto. I don't want my daughter's hair breaking off and I don't want people to assume she is ghetto.
The last thing I will mention is that I am a non-denominational Christian. All I asked is for my parents to take the time to visit some of the non-denominational churches in Houston. No, they only attend the traditional Baptist churches and I have a problem with their doctrine.
Is there any way to discuss this problem with my family to avoid it escalating into a heated argument? Do you think I should let my family keep my daughter in the future? My husband and I plan to make a career out of the Army, and I know we will be deployed again.
A Family Problem
Dear Family,
Let me be honest, I was very appalled at "your take" on this situation. Your family has generously offered to take your daughter and you want to dictate complicated rules for them?
OK, I can understand that you want to raise your daughter as a vegetarian. That's your right. Honestly, I'm becoming more vegetarian myself. However, you are aware that you have a meat-eating, barbecue feasting family. Plus, Texas is synonymous with barbecue and family reunions with every meat you can name cooked on a grill.
Now ... why do cornrows mean you're ghetto? I totally disagree with you. I don't have daughters, but if I did their hair would be done in cornrows too. Why? Because it's convenient and quick. Your parents don't have to worry about combing her hair every morning. Remember, your parents have a life too, and they are going out of their way to be supportive of you and your career. Everyone with cornrows doesn't end up with hair breakage. You can still keep it moisturized daily.
Regarding church, Texas is a part of the Bible Belt. They have all types of churches on every corner. You prefer a non-denominational service and that's OK. However, your family attends a Baptist church. Bottom line, neither one is deviant to Christian teaching, right?
Here's the deal: You are very fortunate to have loving family who has been committed to caring for your daughter in your absence. In my opinion, you are being very ungrateful and unappreciative.
Nowhere in your letter did you mention that you paid your family for caring for your daughter. Did you provide any monetary contributions to your family to help with their mortgage, utilities, food, gas, car expenses? I'll bet the answer is no.
Your parents and your siblings are being supportive to you and your family in a magnanimous way. I wish more servicemembers had supportive family members like you do. Please stop complaining and be more appreciative.
Ms. Vicki
Ms. Vicki Tips
If you are a single servicemember with a child or you are part of a dual military couple, please keep the following Ms. Vicki Tips in mind:
1. Be grateful. If you have family who is willing to take care of your child or children while you are deployed, you are one of the lucky ones. Let your gratitude ease the way.
2. Turn in your badge. When you are overseas, you can't be the police and patrol what the caregiver is doing. Unless it is an issue of safety (seatbelts, alcohol or drug abuse, dangerous relatives) or the law (school attendance), you are going to have to trust your relatives. Relax and don't stress. Understand the caregiver won't do everything like you would. When you get back, you can re-establish your family rules.
3. Discuss and negotiate. Definitely discuss your wishes about your child's educational needs, their diet, their extracurricular activities, their social supports, etc. All of these are very important. Also understand your family or caregiver may not be able to maintain many of these things to your standard or as you would.
Remember, the choice of a caregiver is up to you. If you do not think that your family provides the kind of love and safety and guidance you want for your child, look for someone else. Figuring out arrangements for your child during deployment is part of the everlasting responsibility of single-parent servicemember and dual-career military members. Keep working until you find a good solution.

But the new RTM input syntax should work if the FarrMilk option 'Parse task name for due date' is enabled. If someone cares to try please tell me if it works and I'll rename the option to better reflect the new functionality.
I just tried it. Something like:

Does not work although it does work in the web interface.
I just tried this myself and it actually does work. Are you sure you enabled 'Parse task name for due date' in the FarrMilk options?

Is the idea of addressing our body language a back door approach to solving the real underlining social issues of the individual?
I understand that connections are made between how we view ourselves and how we portray that confidence or lack of confidence through our body language . However, I'm not entirely convinced that this theory of how altering body language can alter our personal perspective of ourself.

It is a very efficient and skillful way.
The following is my comment on the talk of "Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are":
"Oct 20 2012: I think:
By common sense:
(1) Our brain is evolved from our body inseparably, and thus they have to inseparably work together.
So, the body and brain have to change synchronically.
That is, to change the posture must simultaneously change the brain.
This is determined by our instinct programs saved in our DNA..
(2) The testosterone and cortisol are merely the information chemicals, which are something like the data packages in our computer software.
greg dahlen
Feb 14 2013: I'd be inclined to think you have to have it inside, if you present confident body language but don't really feel confident, you'll get found out. I could be wrong.Feb 21 2013: the science seems to show that mental state and body language are directly connected and influence each other. on smiling, look at the studies conducted by R. Zajonc. on emotion and facial expression, there is a lot of work done by ekman, gelder et al. the premise of the talk is to change the inner state by changing the body language. personal perspective was not directly addressed. what you are stating might require a long term study with psych evals to figure out whether that can have a lasting effect in changing one's outlook & personality.Feb 16 2013: As Body language plays a major role in our social issues at least 60% it is an approach that needs to be worked on constantly. However the 30% tonality and 10% verbal communication cannot be ignored, constant self development is a must if we want to go from where we are to where we want to be in our own personal journey. Moreover our outside perception has to be worked on from what we put inside us, in order to be extraordinary people we have to work on all areas of our lives. Put great things in and get great things out.Feb 15 2013: There is co much communication and so many ways to do it.

Twin Mountain Fish & Wildlife Hatchery
Whitefield, NH 03598
Ph: 603-846-5429
The Twin Mountain Hatchery dates back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s.
After members of the Whitefield Fish and Game Club read about the creation of a hatchery in Chester County, Pennsylvania, they presented the idea (for a similar project in Twin Mountain) to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. As a result, the Twin Mountain Hatchery was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project in 1934.
The facility was built on this site because the springs forming Carroll Stream, which flows through the hatchery grounds, provide a continuous source of oxygen-rich water. Exhibits and programs for children and adults to learn more about watersheds and their importance to wildlife. A 27-foot fish tank. Hatchery tours. Open late May to mid-October. School programs by arrangement.

Midwest Living Review
The Cleveland Museum of Art's Parade the Circle (held every year on the second Saturday in June) is not your everyday parade. Replace the floats, marching bands and local celebrities with towering stilt-walkers and giant papier-mch puppets, steel drums and saxtets (five strolling saxophone players), plus families on foot (or bikes or roller skates), and you've got something much more magical than a typical parade. This is the art world's version of that children's film, "Night at the Museum," where all the paintings and sculptures come to life and take to the streets surrounding the museum. But the magic is the result of nearly a year's worth of collaboration between museum staff, local and international guest artists, and more than 80 different groups representing the area's premier cultural institutions, community groups, and even local families. And for the 75,000 Clevelanders who rush to Wade Oval to watch the pageantry unfold, this event signals the beginning of summer. The free parade starts at the CMA parking lot and moves counterclockwise around Wade Oval. The official start time is noon, but plan to arrive by 11:30 a.m. with a blanket or chairs to claim your slab of sidewalk. If you come late, you'll have better luck finding a spot along East Boulevard (try the area in front of the Cleveland Institute of Music). You'll also want to bring water, sunscreen and something to munch on. Access to public bathrooms is limited (you will not be allowed to enter most of the buildings, but there are a few port-a-johns). Parking is tricky, the CMA website links to a couple of suggested parking areas, or try the nearby University Hospitals parking garage ($4 and a 10-minute walk). Postparade, you can catch up with the artists and participants in Circle Village, where you'll find dozens of arts and activity tents, two stages with live entertainment (mostly jazz), and plenty of food stands. Circle Village is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Want to Cut Government Waste? Find the $8.5 Trillion the Pentagon Cant Account For
If you thought the botched rollout of Obamacare, the government shutdown, or the sequester represented Washington dysfunction at its worst, wait until you hear about the taxpayer waste at the Defense Department.
Special Enterprise Reporter Scot Paltrow unearthed the high cost of the Pentagons bad bookkeeping in a Reuters investigation. It amounts to $8.5 trillion in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996 that has never been accounted for. (The year 1996 was the first that the Pentagon should have been audited under a law requiring audits of all government departments. Oh, and by the way, the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with this law.)

Title: gardening into DANGER - part 2
Date: February 27, 2006
Summary: Beaver and Steve meet the mighty, terrible and incredibly hungry Qual'n'Gurtha.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Buddy Holly, Pig, Qual'n'Gurtha
Onomatopoeias used: "FWOOOSH!"
Number of panels: 5
Panel 1
Steve: (pointing at something in the sky behind Beaver) "Look! Elvis Presley flying on the back of a pig!"
Beaver turns around to see.
Panel 2
Buddy Holly (flying on a pig with a wild FWOOOSH): "Peggy Suuuue!"
Pig: "Oink!"
Beaver: "Wait a minute... That's not Elvis...!"
Panel 3
Beaver turns back round to see Steve standing next to a bizarre one-eyed octopus monster. The door is open, which proves that Steve let the monster out.
Beaver: "I probably should have forseen this..."
Panel 4
Beaver: "Who..."
Qual'n'Gurtha: "I am the mighty and terrible QUAL'N'GURTHA!"
Qual'n'Gurtha: "Eater of worlds! Devourer of suns! Gormand of galaxies!"
Panel 5
Close up of Qual'n'Gurtha
Qual'n'Gurtha: "Prepare to witness the end of your entire pitiful universe..."
Qual'n'Gurtha: "My hunger for it's destruction has never been hungrier!"
Fun Facts
- Beaver is right - that is indeed not Elvis Presley riding the flying pig, but Buddy Holly instead. What a cunningly treacherous distraction trick by that pesky Steve!
- This is in fact quite possibly a reference to an episode of Quantum Leap, where the main character, Sam, met Buddy Holly in a farm. Holly had written a song about a pig on the farm named Sue, which he called (naturally) "Piggy Sue", until Sam suggested he change it to "Peggy Sue".
- This just in, from the most authentic of all sources himself - "Qual'n'gurtha has been imprisoned in there for 40,000 years."
- Buddy Holly rides flying pigs. duh
- Qual'n'gurtha is quite possibly a reference to Shuma-Gorath of Marvel fame. The "Lord of Chaos, Master of the Old Ones, Ruler of a hundred dimensions" possesses, aside from a desire to destroy the world, the exact body and appearance of Qual'n'gurtha; they share the single eye, green colour, and both have numerous tentacular appendages. Some speculation suggests that Qual'n'gurtha is no more than Shuma-Gorath's younger and less-powerful brother who nobody has ever heard about. Now we know why.

Introduction + Work + Hello everyone!
Hello and good evening everyone!
My name is Knoby, and I'm new around these parts. I'm surprise it took me this long to jump onto an animation forum, but thought it was finally a good time to do so. I've been drawing since I was a wee toddler and enjoy it immensely on my time off.
I hope the people I meet here are liked minded individuals and will hopefully create some new friends from being on this site.
As you can probably tell from my animation -- I like my jokes a bit raunchy but with a lighthearted coating over it.
This animation took me close to 5 or 6 days. I used Toon Boom for the animating process. Photoshop for the color/shading/lighting process, and lastly Windows Movie Maker for scene placement, subs, etc.
For audio, I used Reaper (random) which helped a lot for creating multiple tracks and cutting things up for what I need and etc.All the sound effects were all either through my mouth, or objects around my apartment (besides the fire + explosion.)Reaper also helped with the voices, I was able to change the semitone to give my main character almost a child like direction in their voice.
I didn't realize how important it is to properly render animation until after I finished completely and notice the low res of the video which is a mistake I hope to avoid in the future. I'm new to animating but I hope to grow in it.
I hope you guys can enjoy it for what it is -- a simple story telling of a misfortune character (what's new?) and I will steadily like to get to know the rest of your works as well.
Well, here it is. My animation as well as my new channel I just started yesterday.
Re: Introduction + Work + Hello everyone!
Sorry for the double post, but I forgot I've also made a comic series a little while ago, and thought to share it here as well.

Re: Introduction + Work + Hello everyone!
Hi Knobi and welcome to AN. Thanks for posting your video. Enjoyed watching it and appreciate your sharing how it was produced. Looking forward to more.

I was playing yesterday and tripped on a pretty nasty piece of old fencing slowly being exposed on hole 8, right side of the fairway about 30 ft from the basket. It ended my day of golf since I came crashing down without being able to stop myself.
If I had wire cutters with me I would have taken care of it. I think the parks dept needs to get out there and clean this hazard up.
Greg? Vicki? GDGO? is this enough notice to get something done about it? Thanks!

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
|German Potato Salad
by Ann Stettner, Wild Thymes
3 lbs red new potatoes
Boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain and set aside. Cook "bacon" in heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until golden and crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain fat, reserving bacon drippings in skillet.
Once potatoes are cooled to warm, cot them into ½-inch slices. Combine potatoes, turkey "bacon", onion, parsley and pickle. Return skillet with bacon drippings to moderately high heat. Add salad refresher, and whisk in mustard, scraping up brown bits (about 30 seconds). Immediately pour hot dressing over potato salad and toss gently to coat.
Yield: Serves 8

A couple more things have changed in the last few weeks.
All my adult life, I have been a morning tea person, unless someone made a steaming hot filter kaapi for me. Lately, tea just doesn't cut it first thing in the morning. My brain cells seem to ask for a stronger dose of caffeine than what comes in a cup of tea. No, I'm not importing 'kaapi-podi' from ChennaiMadras. The Bayar's brand (not a paid promotion) available in most supermarkets in Bangalore seems to hit the spot neatly. Many people swear by Cotha's but I find the grind quite coarse for my coffee filters.
Before you assume it, no, I haven't given up on tea, not at all. It is simply used to fill up the empty moments in the day, rather than as a morning kickstart. Ginger-ed, lemongrass-ed, cardamom-ed, simple green tea, just about every kind of tea depending on the mood, and of course the weather, leaving empty mugs around in every corner of the house, to be picked up later, of course, when I find that I have run out of clean mugs.
The next thing in matters of change is my sudden love for Rasam. Either it is to do with the fact that I am growing old, or the steaming cup of tomato-ey spicy liquid pairs well with the Bangalore weather or it is to do with the sour tomatoes that I'm growing in my terrace garden that lend themselves quite beautifully to this.
|First two homegrown tomatoes
|Dill growing wild
Apart from the vegetables like brinjals, tomatoes (okay, it is a fruit), okra and carrots- we're being adventurous and trying to grow strawberries on our terrace garden. The gardening experts tell us we can expect to eat some fruit by November, I'm praying the ants don't get to them before I do.
|Strawberry patch
There's dwarf lemons and a dwarf chikoo too, on the terrace garden. Just yesterday, a Cherry bush has been added to the fruit family in the hope that we can eat some homegrown fruit if we are patient enough to care for the trees over the next 2-3 years. Or at least, do the birds some social service.
The first to be harvested from the garden was the most sweet smelling lush green coriander and the chutney made using those homegrown leaves tasted most amazing.

If you have the tiny bit of space, even for a couple of pots, or a tiny area of soil where you can sow some seeds, do it. The sheer joy of watching your food grow from the seed and the joy of turning it into a dish for your family is quite unparalleled. Try sprinkling a few kitchen seeds like mustard or fenugreek into good soil and watch the magic unfold :)

A STEM-based education is critical to enhance the career potential of our children, which will result in a considerable economic impact to the Central Florida area. But the need for STEM education — and the sheer number of opportunities to make a positive impact on students — makes it obvious that Orlando Science Center needs the support of community partners. Fortunately, there are many organizations in our community that recognize the need to further STEM and have committed considerable resources to support the effort.
There are many ways that an organization can partner with us and help advance STEM learning. Some organizations choose to be directly involved in education programs both here at the Science Center and through our outreach in schools. You can find these organizations, and how they support our mission, on the Education Partners page of this site.
Others have become involved in OTRONICON, our premier annual event that showcases simulation and gaming, and demonstrates the importance of STEM in these fields. You can learn about these organizations under Otronicon Partners.
Still, other organizations choose to support the wide range of programs that are directly related to our mission, and you can learn about these organizations by visiting the Mission Partners page.

Orlando Science Center was joined by almost 20 other Florida-based science centers, museums, corporations and educators in a sprawling STEM Day exhibition at the Florida Capitol on Tuesday, April 21. STEM refers to science, technology, engineering and math education.
Developed by Orlando Science Center, this collaborative event marked the second consecutive year for STEM Day, which the Science Center created to engage with and help legislators better understand the growing impacts of STEM education in terms of workforce and economic growth throughout the state.
Participating organizations were stationed inside and outside the Capitol building with interactive exhibits, simulators, robotics and more. State legislators discovered how museums and science centers bring STEM to life through engaging hands-on experiences while discussing the importance of STEM education as it relates to growing Florida's technological workforce.
STEM Day partners included Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee; Collegiate Pathways, Inc.; FIRST Robotics; FIRST Robotics Team FRC Number 3502: "The Octo-π-Rates"; Florida Afterschool Network; Florida Hospital; Florida Virtual School; International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research; Meta-Data Life Sciences (Aldebaran Robotics); Museum of Science & History, Jacksonville; Museum of Science & Industry, Tampa; National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Florida State University); PHENIX Design Group, Inc.; River City Science Academy; STEM Sim Ex; Tallahassee Museum; and Valencia College.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about evolution and public education in the United States. The graphic, titled "The State of Evolution", draws upon sources from USA Today, the National Center for Science Education, and Pew Forum, and shows two challenges to a widespread understanding of the science of evolution in the United States.
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."

Alex123 wrote:Mkoll wrote:The body can make fat from carbohydrates
Human body? Where did you find that?!!
Glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation make up cellular respiration. This is the process that mitochondria, the "power plants" of cells, use to generate energy. Glycolysis turns glucose (a simple sugar that your body can get from metabolizing carbohydrates) into pyruvate which is oxidized into Acetyl CoA which then goes to the citric acid cycle. That Acetyl CoA can also be used to make fatty acids.
"Lipogenesis is the process by which acetyl-CoA is converted to fatty acids. The former is an intermediate stage in metabolism of simple sugars, such as glucose, a source of energy of living organisms. Through lipogenesis and subsequent Triglyceride synthesis, the energy can be efficiently stored in the form of fats. Lipogenesis encompasses the process of fatty acid synthesis."
-wikipedia entry for 'lipogenesis'
The only fatty acids that humans need to actually ingest because our bodies can't synthesize them are the two kinds of essential fatty acids (EFAs): omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)). Both of these can be found abundantly in plant foods.

These ideas for encouraging visitors to attend your science fair are excerpted from Science Buddies' "A Guide to Planning a Science Fair." Page numbers in the text below refer to pages in the PDF, found at http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/Teacher_ScienceFairGuide.pdf.
Encouraging visitors to come and view the displays is a key part of the success of a science fair. For participating students, having visitors see their projects reinforces that their work matters to a larger community. Non-participating students who come to the fair may get ideas and become inspired for a time when they may have a chance to participate. Parents who visit show their appreciation for and help motivate their students. Administrators who visit will understand the extra work that you and your team put in to make the fair happen.
Here are some ways that you can promote your fair:
To invite students and teachers who are not participating in the fair, as well as school administrators and school district officials (e.g., science fair coordinator):
* Mention the fair at teachers' meetings starting one month before the fair.
* Send invitations via email or on paper one month before the fair (see sample text on page 12).
* Send reminders via e-mail two weeks, one week, and one day before the fair.
* Have your classes create posters for the school (more details below).
* Make sure that the date of the fair appears on the school calendar.
* Ask students to write a newsletter or website article about the fair (more details below).
To encourage parents to attend:
* Two weeks before, send parents the "Final Science Fair Participation Reminder for Parents" on page 24. Send it as a flyer or as an email.
* Include information in the PTA newsletter.
* Give students extra credit if parents attend.
* The day before the fair, remind students to bring their parents.
Ask your classes, or work with the art teacher and his or her classes, to create posters and even directional signs. Here are some signage ideas:
* Publicity posters: Decorate the school and publicize the fair before the event. Include date, time, and location.
* Event directions: Where to park, where to go for the fair.
* Science-themed murals for the walls (most appropriate for elementary schools): What about children painting different habitats? Or murals of other science themes, such as the solar system?
Newsletter or Website Articles
Have students write a school newsletter or website article that includes:
* Date, time, and location of the fair.
* Encouragement for students who are working on their projects.
* A reminder for participants' parents to consult their guides (distributed by teachers) on how to help their children.
* Some exciting and fantastic facts, such as a sample of unique topics already chosen by students or quotes from students about what they are experiencing.

Virginia Tech holds on to defeat ETSU Baseball, 9-7
Wednesday, May 19, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 19, 2004) - Virginia Tech withstood a furious late-inning rally by East Tennessee State, holding on to defeat the Bucs, 9-7, Wednesday night from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. The Buccaneers outhit the Hokies, 14-12, but six costly ETSU errors led to four unearned runs. It was a milestone victory for Hokie head coach Chuck Hartman, who won his 1400th game this evening, third among active collegiate coaches. Virginia Tech (28-25) took the lead in the top of the second, scoring three runs on four hits. Bryan Thomas and Tom Blaszak each hit RBI singles while Chris Stanton forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk. East Tennessee State (27-26) cut the Hokie lead to 3-1 with a run in bottom of the second. Sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) reached on a fielder's choice, then advanced to third as freshman designated hitter David Yates (Douglasville, Ga.) reached on an error. Glafenhein would cross the plate as sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) hit a sacrifice fly to center. The Hokies scored two runs in the top of the third and one in the top of the fourth to run their lead to 6-1. In the third, Warren Schaeffer singled in Wyatt Toregas from third while Bryan Thomas drove in Jed English with a ground out. In the fourth, Stanton reached on a fielder's choice with one out and scored later in the inning on a wild pitch. Virginia Tech scored their final three runs of the evening in the top of the fifth, on three hits and three Buccaneer errors. Nate Parks drove in Matt Foley with an RBI bunt single, but Schaeffer also crossed the plate as an error was committed on the play. Later in the inning, Stanton singled to left to bring Parks home. ETSU began their comeback by scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth. After sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) and junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the inning with back-to-back singles, sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) doubled to right to score Byrne. Moore crossed the plate on a passed ball while Church came home on a groundout by sophomore center fielder Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.). The Bucs got a big hit from Moore to cut the Hokie lead to 9-6 in the bottom of the sixth. After a walk by Byrne with two outs, Moore crushed the first pitch he saw over the left field wall for his team-leading ninth home run of the season. East Tennessee State continued to chip away at the Virginia Tech advantage, scoring another run in the bottom of the eighth. Senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) singled up the middle with one out, followed by an RBI double down the right field line by Byrne. The game had an exciting conclusion as the Bucs had the tying runs in scoring position with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Junior pinch-hitter Richie Billings (Leesburg, Fla.) put a charge into a 1-2 pitch, hitting it deep to left field. But Stanton was able to make the catch against the wall for the final out. Adam Redd (1-0) earned his first collegiate victory, allowing four runs (two earned) in five innings. He also walked one and struck out two. Hokie closer Nicky Bowers worked the final 1.2 innings for his sixth save of the season. ETSU senior lefty Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) was charged with the loss (5-8) allowing six runs (five earned) over 3.2 innings. The Buccaneer bullpen was effective once again as freshman righty Caleb Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) and senior lefty Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) kept the Bucs in the game by combining for 5.1 scoreless innings. Parks led the Hokies at the plate with three hits while English and Schaeffer each had two. Thomas and Stanton drove in two runs each while English and Foley both scored two. Calicutt went 4-for-5 for ETSU while Byrne was 3-for-4 on the evening. Moore was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs. With his two hits, Moore extended his team-best hitting streak to 16 games. East Tennessee State returns to action this weekend with its final Southern Conference series of the season against Furman. The first game of the three-game set is Friday evening at 7 p.m. from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

HP drop Williams-BMW
Williams have lost major sponsor Hewlett Packard after the technology firm cut nearly 1,000 jobs in the UK. The prior loss of engine partner BMW is believed to be the major factor, although HP's press release does not explicitly state it.
Williams had drawn acclaim for building a roster of respectable blue-chip advertisers, having decided to shun tobacco advertising when originally courting BMW. McLaren are expected to go down the same route by announcing either Intel or British Telecom as title sponsors for 2006, following the departure of West tobacco.
The news brings Williams' financial problems into sharper relief. In 2004 Frank Williams sold his private jet to pay for a new wind tunnel. The latest news will heighten speculation that Williams will accept a substantial cash settlement from BAR in exchange for Jenson Button's contract.

The little bugs continue to cause big problems: A flare-up in dozens of Charlotte, N.C., hotels was big talk at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, at least on social media sites. This summer, bedbugs prompted 25 percent more service calls nationwide than in 2011, reports the National Pest Management Association. The critters even made the Consumer Federation of America's most recent Top Complaints List.
So bedbugs are still out there — and so are scammers selling rip-off remedies.
Cedar, cinnamon, lemongrass, peppermint and clove oil? They're the latest additions to the list of bogus eradication products, says the Federal Trade Commission in filing a deceptive advertising complaint against marketers of products called Rest Easy and Best Yet.
They join scientific-sounding gizmos that include ionic, ultrasonic and electromagnetic bedbug eradicators pitched on the Internet.
"I have never seen any evidence that any of them work," says Richard Pollack, a research entomologist who has been studying bedbugs for two decades. And those store-bought "bug bombs" and other off-the-shelf insecticides? "Their risk is greater to you than the bedbugs," he adds.
So don't get bitten — metaphorically or financially — by claims about products like Best Yet ($30 per quart and $3,500 for a hotel-size kit), says the FTC.
The FTC reached a tentative settlement with Rest Easy's marketer, RMB Group, requiring it to pay a fine of $265,000 and discontinue alleged false claims. The company admitted no wrongdoing. CedarCide Industries, makers of Best Yet, says that amid a management change it's "in the process of correcting the concerns made by the FTC."
If you're itching for real solutions to bedbugs, try these:
• Make sure you really have bedbugs. You can find images of them at IdentifyUs, a website run by Pollack.
• Use a magnifying glass on mattresses and furniture to look for dark, pen tip-size feces that may stain fabric; rusty or reddish stains on bed linens (caused by bedbugs being crushed when you roll over in the middle of the night); or tiny white eggs. Another telltale sign, of course, are the skin welts they cause.
