Recipe by Mic
"This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
1 cup
warm water
1/4 cup
white sugar
3 tablespoons
egg, beaten
2 teaspoons
4 1/2 cups
bread flour
2 teaspoons
minced garlic
1/4 cup
butter, melted
Great recipe... Tips: I did it severall times and had problems to create the many bubbles I saw in India... Solved by adding a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and putting a lid on the pan... Do this and bubles will pop out everywhere and the bread will melt in your mouth...
This does not take like naan at all. It tastes more like a sweet bread. The recipe is easy but needs some adjustments to make it taste more like naan. I tried cooking the dough many ways; on the grill pan, the toaster, etc. This is the best way I found to cook the dough - I took the slotted tray out of my toaster and put it on top of the burner on the stove. Then I turned the burner on low and placed the dough on the tray. This allows more air so bubbles can form on the dough, making it more fluffy.

Absolutely better than the Naan served in my favorite local Indian restaurant. A couple of comments to clarify the recipe instructions, however: "Proofing" the yeast means that you must add about 1 Tblsp. of sugar to the warm water and yeast, then allow to double in volume prior to adding any further ingredients (I might not have known that had I not stumbled upon proofing instructions on the package). Also, I found that it took a considerable amount of time for this dough to rise, so keep that in mind when you are planning for this to accompany a meal. High heat was way too extreme a cooking temperature. I burned the first few and ended up keeping the heat on medium-low. This recipe had a wonderful flavor, and you could truly eat them alone with nothing more than a little butter. Tasty!
I have mostly forgotten was naan tastes like, but this was relatively similar. As I live in an off-campus apartment, I didn't have access to a real grill, so I tried the following: 1. Cooking it on an open George Foreman Grill 2. Cooking it on it closed. 3. Cooking on a grill pan in the oven. 4. Grilling it in a toaster oven. The opened George Foreman was best. And another tip: Don't knead in the minced garlic. Add it to the hot melted butter and let it soak in for 10 minutes or so. Then apply the butter- it is delicious, and you don't have chunks of pungent garlic in some bits and not others. I halved the recipe.
This was fantastic ! I made it in my bread machine on dough cycle,using only 3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour as recommended by others, then removed it, made the balls and let rise about 1/2 hour. The SECRET to getting them to bubble is - when pinching the balls, pinch half in each hand, put the two halves together and then make the ball. Let rise, roll out and fry in butter. One more thing. I made these on a Monday and I had five balls left over so I put the raw dough in the fridge in a zip lock bag and four days later, just floured a board and rolled them out without even letting them come to room temoerature and they were just as good as the first time !Served them with lamb curry the first time and pea soup the second. I imagine that freezing them and letting them thaw would have the same results since there is so much frozen dough in the stores these days.Mine were perfect ! Thank you for the recipe. I have tried to make naan before with another recipe and it turned out heavy and blah. Thanks again - my husband just raved.
Greate Naan recipe! My mom (she's Indian) and I have tried making so many different Naan recipes, and this one turned out the best. The trick to having it bubble up and not be tough and chewy is to roll it as thin as possible. Then when cooking it on the grill only cook it until the grill marks get dark brown, do not let the whole Naan brown. Aside from the grill marks, the rest of the Naan should still be white in color. It's the closest you'll get to the Naan they serve in the Indian restaurants. Thanks so much for posting this Mic!
This recipe makes a delicious fry bread. Some reviewers were disappointed in how long it took to rise. You must PROOF your yeast, by adding 1T of sugar to the yeast and warm water. Let sit for 9-12 minutes, then proceed with the remainder of the recipe. My clothes dryer happened to be going at the same time, so I just stuck my bowl on top for warmth. The dough came out absolutely fantastic. I did half the recipe as stated, and since I had small children visiting, I did half as cinnamon-sugar fry bread.Simply roll the bread in a mixture of cinnamon-sugar when its just out of the oven. The kids loved it. Medium low heat was best to avoid burn marks.
Really great recipe!! I loved the taste of this bread because it's so close to what's served in some of my favorite Indian restaurants. I omitted the garlic. Instead of grilling, I cooked the naan in a large saute pan after I brushed both sides with melted butter. Make sure you don't add too much flour when you're kneading, or the dough will be stiff. Add just enough flour to have the dough just barely clean the sides of your mixing bowl. If you're having problems with the dough not rising (maybe it's not warm enough in your house), try putting it in a warm oven (200F) with the door open and covered with a damp towel.

|Quechee Scottish Festival August 25
The Catamount Pipe Band at the Quechee Scottish Festival [photo copyright by the St. Andrews Society of Vermont]
The 35th annual Quechee Scottish Festival will be held Saturday, August 25, from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm at the Quechee Polo Field.
There will be Scottish music and dancing, arts and crafts, highland athletic competitions, pipe bands, sheepdog herding trials, and Scottish and American food.
The directions on the website show (poorly) how to find Quechee but not the Polo Field for some inexplicable reason. Just drive west on Route 4 from Exit 1 from Interstate 89 and you will probably see it but if not, just ask around. Or stop in and ask at Scotland By The Yard, an interesting store specializing in Scottish goods. It is located on Route 4 in Quechee.
Part of the proceeds benefits a scholarship program by the St. Andrews Society of Vermont.

Seeds of the end times
None of the predictions of the world's end came true in 2011, and depending on your worldview, 2012 looks pretty good, too.
But, at the end of the year, I can't help but think of the end times. (Maybe I've been watching too much Walking Dead.)
So, here's a video of Mike Rowe working with the Chicago Botanic Garden's on its Doomsday Seed Bank project.
Have a happy new year, and, if we're all still here Jan. 1, I'll see you in 2012.

It's tentatively titled "YUMPS" (for Yii User Management and Project System) though that is likely to change eventually.
IMPORTANT: There is now a Wiki for YUMPS Project: http://redmine.dcisv.com/projects/ums2/wiki
Many website/webservice projects share a set of foundational needs:
- Users can sign up and create accounts
- Moderators have accounts that let them analyze site activity and track down and manage spam and spammers
- An access control / permission system that lets administrator give certain users certain permissions on the site
- The ability to send users messages on the site, and let users message each other
In addition one often needs:
- Content creation/editing with attached file uploads and comments
- Hierarchical Groups and Projects with user management within groups
- Tagging and rating features.
- Email notifications and approval queues.
Programmer Strategy
When faced with the need to create a new site/service that requires such functionality, a programmer has three main choices:
- Use a medium/low-level framework (cakephp, codeigniter, yii, django, ruby on rails, etc.) or no framework, and custom implement these foundational features
- Use a medium/low-level framework and combine several extensions/modules/plugins to handle user accounts and other features
- Use an existing open source programmer-friendly content management system, and modify this code base for programmer-specific needs.
However, none of these choices are ideal.
- While the basic functionality seems manageable, a huge amount of sometimes delicate code is required to implement these foundational features; rewriting this code for each new website project is unreasonable.
- Trying to reliably combine and maintain a collection of extensions/plugins to perform these foundational features is difficult to integrate and maintain. These functions involve a substantial amount of overlap and database table interaction in an ideal case, and existing solutions that employ modular standalone extensions for these various different features, are too fragile.
- Content management systems are designed first and foremost for content creators, not for programmers. Even the most programmer-friendly CMS systems (for example Drupal) can be incredibly frustrating from the standpoint of creating a custom web service project that doesn't fit precisely into a Content Management approach.
- What is needed is an integrated core foundational codebase that performs all of these key features, and that programmers can use to build new websites.
- YUMPS is intended to provide a foundation for a wide variety of web service and community websites that require user/group/project management features. It is built on top of the yii php framework.
- Built for programmers not administrators, so the emphasis is on configuration-file and programmatic configuration -- rather than a friendly GUI for configuation of options.
- Provides a complete and robust infrastructure for managing a large numbers of user accounts with arbitrary profile data.
- Provides support functions for the user community, including a user-to-user messaging/mailbox system.
- Provides a flexible group and project management system, which can be used to let users create and manage their own groups; supports hierarchies of groups and projects.
- Emphasis on performance and security; easy to keep updated and diagnose issues.
- Not a content management system (CMS); but rather a substantial foundation of code upon which to build custom community websites.
- Powerful access control / permission system.
I have spent significant time trying to use Drupal as a foundation code base for the goals i've laid out here. You can read my rants about Drupal here. In brief -- while Drupal is an incredibly impressive product, with some fantastic features for coders, I have found it to be unsuitable as a foundation for custom non-cms sites. I am much more interested in a mid-level framework that allows programmers to build custom user-based web sites/services (rather than a CMS system designed for non-programmers). A huge amount of work has gone into making Drupal (and other such tools) incredibly flexible to configure from an administrative back-end side, wheras I am much less interested in that than in making a system that a programmer can customize and maintain.
My intention is to open source the project -- though I am very much hoping to find some way to fund continued development of it. If you know someone who might be willing to help fund continued development please contact me!
I hope I will find some of you who might be willing to help code on it once the basic system is public.

If you're not sure about using table number cards for fear they might look out of place, take a look at our ideas and selection. You may find what we at Weddingstar already know – that custom wedding table numbers can be both practical and beautiful. View all of our wedding reception accessories to see how.
Wedding Table Number Holders
There are many ways to incorporate table numbers into your table settings. One of the most common methods is to use place card holders to secure printed cards upright, and simply arranging them in an obvious way on the table. Of course, how you display your table numbers is completely up to personal preference. An easy choice is folded paper signs , but some couples choose to incorporate them into the centerpieces or even put them in frames.
Designs Of Table Number Cards
Table number cards can be chosen based on their color, design, or how well they will stand out from the
rest of your decor. It is fine to choose ones that blend in, but if they don't stand out at least a little
bit your guests will have a hard time finding them. To avoid this, try to choose table numbers that are
bold enough to draw the eye without detracting from the rest of the decor.
Our wedding table numbers are designed to be double sided so no matter how you choose to display them, they are bold enough to stand out while still integrating the theme of your wedding design. We have table numbers available in each of our stationery collections, and many of them are also available in multiple color schemes. Coordinate your wedding table numbers with escort cards or place cards of the same design to create a signature look.

Comments On Jun 26, 2015:I bought these for my wife's CRF150RB. I mounted them to ProTaper SE bars. The bars were cut down 1". I had to modify the the bar ends to fit. It took several hours to modify these to work. If the bar end mounts were shorter I would have rated these higher. The most difficult handguard I have mounted. I'll stick with Fastway or Cycra for extra money.

Even had a head on collision with another rider and came out Great!!! I swear by them for sure!!

Comments On Nov 17, 2014:For the price, and the build, these are a good value.
-Lost one bolt after the first ride. Replaced and locktighted at the hardware store. Should have come with locktight from the start.
-Good fit on the bar end, finicky fit on the inboard side. Running 7/8" Renthals.
-Durability - these things are well used and beaten. They have to be realigned after big falls as the right side wants to rotate up, and left side wants to rotate down. They tend to want to go in the direction that you tighten the bar end screw. It's a bit annoying, but livable. The right side one is bent at both ends. Think shifted inward toward the center of the bike due to a particularly hard side landing. Will bend them back out.
-I just ordered a set of the Cycra triple clamp mounts that I am going to try to adapt these to. Once I bend them back in place that is. That and the addition of lock tight should have them back in action. Might change out the plastic hand guard when I refresh the plastics as this is my learning bike.
Would be nice if Tusk came up with a triple clamp or bar top cap clamp option. With the value Tusk provides, and those not so difficult to innovate additions, they would be giant killers.

Comments On Sep 02, 2014:These things bent after the first time they hit the dirt, and again after the second time. My previous pair were Moose brand aluminum wrap around guards and I had those for years taking a TON of abuse. They finally bit the dust, but had a good life. I should have replaced them with another name brand, but wanted to save some dough. I have used many Tusk brand parts before and have been happy with their quality, however this is not one of them. These hand guards must be made with a much softer alloy of aluminum than other brands. I will not be buying these again once they totally break which will probably be sooner rather than later.

Comments On Aug 12, 2014:I've recommended them to friends. Love them. Only complaint is most levers will hit the metal brace, but the metal is strong and plastic too. I've takes some gnarly crashes and they have helped a lot. Keeps most brush on trails from whapping your hand too!

Comments On Jul 04, 2014:They bend very easily. Even just tipping over in the dirt. I've bent 3 sets so far. Will try another brand. I only got them because they were the most affordable.

Juan Diego Florez - Biography
Juan Diego Flórez was born in 1973 and studied music both in his native Lima and at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. In 1996 he made his official stage debut in Matilde di Shabran at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, where his expressive voice and astonishing agility made him an overnight sensation and led to his debut at La Scala the same year, aged only 23. Since then, he has appeared regularly at all the major international opera houses under the world's leading conductors.
As today's bel canto tenor of choice, Flórez has won particular acclaim in the leading tenor roles of Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini, as well as in operas by Verdi (Rigoletto and Falstaff), Puccini (Gianni Schicchi),Gluck (Armide), Mozart (Mitridate)and Nino Rota (Il cappello di paglia di Firenze). In 2007 he broke a 75-year tradition at La Scala by singing an encore in Donizetti's Fille du regiment, the aria "Ah! mes amis" with nine high Cs, and he created a similar sensation in New York when he repeated the same feat at the Metropolitan in 2008. He is also active as a recitalist and concert artist in works including Rossini's Stabat Mater.
Recent seasons have seen him in L'elisir d'amore at the Vienna State Opera and at the Met, Il barbiere di Siviglia in Lima, Le comte Ory at the Met, I puritani in Tokyo, Linda di Chamounix in Barcelona, Rigoletto in Zurich, Matilde di Shabran in Pesaro, Guillaume Tell in Lima and Pesaro, Les Pęcheurs de perles in Madrid, La donna del lago at Covent Garden, and La Fille du régiment in Vienna, as well as in a concert at Machu Picchu with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. 2014 brings Sonnambula in Barcelona, Fille du régiment at Covent Garden, Roméo et Juliette in Lima, Cenerentola at the Met, Barbiere in Munich, Comte Ory at La Scala and La Favorite at the Salzburg Festival, as well as concerts in Marseille, Istanbul, Zurich, Geneva, Madrid, Ličge, Baden-Baden, Ludwigshafen, Munich and Vienna.
Juan Diego Flórez has been an exclusive Decca artist since 2001, recording numerous solo albums and complete operas on CD and DVD; many of them have won awards including Germany's Echoand the Cannes Classical Award. Among his more recent releases are complete recordings of Bellini's La sonnambula, on CD with Cecilia Bartoli and on DVD with Natalie Dessay, Gluck's Orphée et Eurydice with Ainhoa Garmendia, Bel Canto spectacular – nominated for a Grammy® 2010 as "Best Classical Vocal Performance" – as well as a 2010 CD release of sacred songs entitled "Santo". 2012 saw the DVD release of Rossini's Zelmira, recorded at the 2009 Pesaro Rossini Festival, while 2013 brought Rossini's Matilde di Shabran from the Teatro Comunale of Bologna. Scheduled for release in 2014: his first all-French album "L'Amour", a survey of operatic arias from Donizetti to Massenet.
The Peruvian tenor has also received several other international critics' prizes and been decorated with its highest accolade by the government of Peru. In 2012 he was designated a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and honoured as Kammersänger in Vienna.

Montgomery County continues to house more fast-growing private companies than any other county in Maryland.
More than half of Maryland's businesses that made Inc. magazine's annual list of the 500 rapid-growth companies nationwide, which was released this week, were in Montgomery, at 10 out of 19 businesses. Last year, 12 out of 20 in Maryland that made the top 500 were in Montgomery.
So what is it about Montgomery that makes it a better breeding ground than most for relatively young companies to explode?
Being so close to federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring and National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg is a key factor, said Elaine Amir, executive director of the Montgomery County campus of Johns Hopkins University.
"The federal research labs help a lot," said Amir, also a board member of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce and Tech Council of Maryland.
The high educational level of employees and entrepreneurs is another factor, said Seth Goldman, president of Bethesda beverage company Honest Tea, which made the Inc. list in 2003 and 2004.
"It's a very idea-based environment, which is open to new ideas," he said.
The area has good infrastructure, such as close access to airports. And it has resources in the mode of innovation centers, conferences and mentors, Goldman said.
On this year's Inc. list, the two fastest-growing private companies in Maryland are in Montgomery County for the first time since 2002. Inc. ranks private companies based on their revenue growth in the past three years.
NSR Solutions, a Rockville information technology business that provides high-tech, recruiting, engineering and other services for federal and commercial clients, ranked 41st in the nation and tops in Maryland.
The company had revenue of $10.1 million last year, a more than 6,000 percent increase from roughly $150,000 in 2009.
NSR was founded in 2003 and has added 244 employees in the past three years to number a little more than 250, according to the magazine.
Gaithersburg-based DSFederal, another government contractor that provides services such as software integration, consulting, training and grants management, was ranked 55th nationally and second in Maryland. The company saw revenue of $9.4 million in 2012, more than 5,000 percent higher than roughly $180,000 in 2009.
Founded in 2007, DSFederal has added 67 employees in the past three years to reach 70.
Some media reports had NSR Solutions ranked 42nd and DSFederal 56th, but those were based on an earlier version of the list, said Kasey Wehrum, an editor with Inc. "The list needed to be updated after a discrepancy was found with one of the companies," Wehrum said.
The fastest-growing Frederick County company on the list was Mount Airy-based Daytner Construction, which ranked 840th nationally and 31st in Maryland with a three-year revenue growth of 532 percent.
Last year, Gaithersburg Internet marketing business Blue Corona was Montgomery's fastest-growing company, ranking 174th nationally and fourth in the state. This year, Blue Corona again made Inc.'s list, which lists as many as 5,000 companies, ranking 694th nationally and 28th in Maryland. The 21-employee business had $3 million in revenue last year, up 660 percent from 2009.
A key factor in Blue Corona's fast growth again this year is its customers' need for sales, said president and CEO Ben Landers.
"Virtually every business owner I know could benefit from a website that generates more leads and sales," he said. "They also want to know exactly which advertising campaigns are working and which should be terminated — and this is exactly what we do."
Even with such companies, there still is room for the county to improve upon bringing ideas to the commercial market, Amir said. The Rockville campus houses about 35 companies, and technology transfers should continue to be a major focus, she said.

Bromo Marathon, East Java
Bromo Marathon, East Java
1 Sep 2013 Start At: 10:00 Until: 23:45
The magnificent Mount Bromo in East Java will be swarming with runners as the first ever Bromo Marathon 2013 gets underway on 1st September 2013.
The event will feature three categories of competition, including: the Full-marathon distance (42.195 km), the Half marathon distance (21.0975 km), and 10 kilometer run. The start and finish line for the event will take place in the Village of Wonokitri - in the heart of Tenggerese culture in East Java where Hindu descendents of Java's ancient Majapahit rulers have retained both their religion and culture. The Full Marathon will start off at 5:30 am with the Half-Marathon starting a half-hour later and the 10-kilomter run a half-hour after that.
Scheduled to take place in arguably one of the most dramatic settings on earth, the event will take competing runners through the villages surrounding the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park and along the Tengger caldera. Leaving Wonokitri, runners will get off the paved road running through the village of Podokoyo where the race again returns to paved highways. The course continues to the village of Ngawu - location of an ancient Hindu temple.
From Ngawu the course climbs a winding path on dirt trails leading to the caldera rim overlooking the memorable moonscapes of the volcanic park. At the Dinglik Viewpoint the route returns to pavement for a climb to the peak of Mt. Pananjakan where those running against the clock will be torn between continuing the race or stopping to enjoy the commanding view of Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park. It's all downhill for the final stretch back to Wonokitri on a total marathon course of 42,195 kilometers.
As the first of what is projected to be an annual event, this year, the event focuses on the importance of quality education, with all proceeds of the Bromo Marathon going to the support of local schools through the development and advancement of school library facilities in the surrounding low-resource communities.
To reach Mt. Bromo, take a flight to Surabaya, capital of East Java. There are also flights to the town of Malang from Jakarta, nearest town to Mt. Bromo.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
in Genesis two, God calls humankind to know and study the surrounding world. The scriptures say that Adam took on the God-given task of naming the animals, which is, in fact, science: the exploration of the natural world.
In a recent interview with the Sirius XM radio show Centered, Karl Giberson sat down with host Don Belanus to discuss the book The Language of Science and Faith.
This chapter from Mark Noll's book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind seeks to understand science through a Christ-centered lens. Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, describes how Andrew Dickson White relentlessly advocated a view of history in which Science and Dogmatic Theology have always been at war with one another. Noll identifies 16 reasons why White's notion of warfare is mistaken.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

Hendrix At 70: From Lemmy To Frampton, Legends Sound off
Tuesday (November 27) marks 70 years since the birth of Jimi Hendrix, the man who changed electric guitar and rock'n'roll forever. For the past few weeks, CBS Local has discussed the man's impact with musicians who came after him, his peers, and even one of his main inspirations. Everyone felt his influence, whether it was on their guitar playing, or their singing. Some even found a new direction for their life thanks to Jimi.
Hendrix At 70: "He Changed The Whole Landscape" – Tom Johnston of The Doobie Brothers
Tom Johnston of The Doobie Brothers was one of many artists inspired by Jimi; he told CBS Local that in the short period that Hendrix made records (1966-1970) "Musically, he changed the whole landscape, he was doin' things that nobody was doin'." While much has been said about Hendrix's live showmanship, Johnston was more impressed by what Jimi did in the studio, including his use of feedback and backwards recording.
The Doobie Brothers React To Michael Hossack's Death
As previously reported, Doobie Brothers drummer Michael Hossack passed away at his home in Dubois, Wyoming yesterday (March 12) after a long battle with cancer. He was 65. Doobie Brothers manager Bruce Cohn said in […]

Two years ago, 24-year-old Mario Bonds was living what he calls "Plan B." Working for the federal government in the Department of Transportation, Bonds was trying desperately to be happy. But the Lanham native said he was more interested in "Plan A": pursuing his dream of performing.
"I always believed that I was born to entertain," Bonds said. "I was not enjoying 'Plan B.'"
Life is a little different for Bonds these days. After landing a spot on the second season of Oxygen's "The Glee Project," where young aspiring actors and musicians compete for a role on the hit television show, Bonds now splits his time between Maryland, New York and Los Angeles, actively seeking a record deal.
On Friday, he'll headline a benefit concert at Imagination Stage in Bethesda in support of the company's Access and Inclusion programs for students with disabilities.
"This is an agenda companies across the board need to embrace," said Bonds of Imagination Stage's inclusion programs. "I am an example of someone who would benefit from [these programs]. The best thing I can do ... is help their efforts."
Bonds has been totally blind since he was 9, the result of Morning Glory Syndrome, a rare defect of the optic nerve.
"Most of the time, I'm extremely content and happy with my situation," Bonds said. "The people in my life made sure I got to the right place and did not use my total blindness as an excuse."
One of those people is his grandmother, Johnnie Mae Bonds, who took in Bonds, a triplet, and his two sisters after their mother passed away when they were just 5 months old. At the time, Johnnie Mae already had custody of seven of her other grandchildren, the oldest of which was just 12 years old.
"I had a pretty tumultuous childhood," Bonds said.
With his grandmother responsible for so many children, Bonds said he and his sisters bounced from home to home, sometimes even living in motels.
"... I lived in a place where family was dysfunctional and abusive [and] going through it from the blind-side multiplies everything," Bonds said.
But Bonds said Johnnie Mae never let his blindness stand in the way of his success, especially when it came to getting an education. After administrators in the public school system told her she may want to consider sending Bonds to a school for the blind, Johnnie Mae insisted her grandson remain in the mainstream classrooms.
"My grandmother fought," Bonds said. "[She said], 'There's nothing wrong with Mario's brain. He's real smart, he's just blind,' This is a woman who only made it to eighth grade. She believed in me."
She wasn't the only one.
There was Michelle Weil, an orientation and mobility specialist in Fairfax County who got Bonds his first piano lesson. There was Beverly Betz-Zachery, a vision teacher in Prince George's County who was present through what Bonds called a "blind kid's rebellion."
"She was there ... when I didn't want to read braille; when I threw my cane at my first instructor," Bonds said.
Thanks to the support of his loved ones, along with "God, fate and perseverance," Mario graduated from George Mason University in 2010.
But there were others along the way who doubted Bonds' abilities.
"While I was working for the Department of Transportation," I went to a talent agency in Baltimore," Bonds said. "I sang my heart out, did voice-over stuff and at the end, the guy goes, 'You should already be famous, but I can't work with you because you're too much work. You're a special case.' Pretty much what he was saying was, 'I've never worked with anyone who is blind before.'"
Casting directors for "The Glee Project" agreed. Mario was a "special case." And they couldn't wait to work with him.
"They said, 'It never mattered that you were blind," Bonds said.
And it didn't. Bonds was one of 14 contestants chosen from a pool of 50,000 who auditioned. Despite his blindness, he had no trouble picking up choreography.
"I was pinching myself to see like, 'OK, am I really here, totally blind and doing the dance steps with all of my peers?'" Bonds said. "Moments like that [were] what really made the feeling so surreal."
Last year, Imagination Stage awarded Mario the Imagination Award at the 2012 Annual Gala and Silent Auction. The award recognizes professionals in the arts or humanities whose leadership in the community represents the principles Imagination Stage hopes to instill in children.
On Friday, Bonds will share the spotlight with Imagination Stage's high school musical theater students. Among the songs on the set list is Katy Perry's "Firework," a song Bond's said served as a source of inspiration when he was living "Plan B" two years back.
"The lyrics of that song, 'You don't have to feel, like a waste of space ...' those lyrics spoke volumes to me when I was broken two years ago," Bonds said. "Those are powerful words."

Any of you guys do any regular amount of prototype work?
Ok, a little about myself. I currently am in partnership with a long time friend of mine in a residential general contracting company. It's not too bad of a gig, but it's way more managerial work than anything else. My true love is design/fabrication/repair of equipment and machinery. I have often thought about starting up a shop that would mainly deal with engineering models and such. Basically, a shop that would be completely turn-key from concept to paint and everything in between. I've never been a fan of prodution work, simply because it's a matter of doing it a nickel cheaper and a minute faster. A case-in-point example of what I'm talking about would be similar to a company that my CAT saleman calls on. They take old CAT machines, strip them down to basic machine and drive mechanism, then build one-off custom oil field pieces out of them that get shipped world-wide. That's an extreme case, but it gets the picture accross.
I'm currently pursuing a mechanical engineering degree (don't cuss me just yet....I worked in the field first, so hopefully I won't be the Engineer you want to drive your rig over at the next jobsite...face it, we've all had that idea in our head!). I've slowly been collecting the equipment for this endeavor as I've had the money. My next two big ticket items will be a lathe and mill. I figure from there I can build anything else I need.
Let me know your thoughts on this idea, especially if you are involved in this kind of work.

Thread: Prototyping shop
Prototyping shop
I think that would be fun work. I'm like you I don't like repetitive work. Such as building railings or stairs. [ a niche for evrybody] Although looks like good money it I would get bored with it. I do mostly repair work on equipment and i like that better. You could probably come up with some interesting equipment out of old tracked equipment. What type of special rigs do the oil fields need/use?Scott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
I don't accept prototyping work unless there is a contract for money in place and that the people who want the work done, can prove they have the money.
Got burned by a fast talker once, about $1500 in my expense, never again.

Prototyping can be a good thing or a bad thing, you can vary your work and not get bored or your customer can call you with changes every other day thus blowing away maybe some of your work. So get a contract from your customer and remind them, that changes cost money. Then have lots of fun!
Do what you think is best in your shop, remember you have to pay the elextric bill when you accept work.

Go for it... but beware
I spent 20 years as an engineer at a large Aerospace company, then went with a consulting company - and eventually founded my own company. My fulltime living is unrelated to my metal working. The lessons I have learned were mentioned by the previous responders. Prototype work will drive you into banruptcy if you don't have clearly defined business practices. A relatively simple example would be:
1) a Statement of Work (SOW) - it defines the general service you are bidding on
2) Technical specifications - Engineering spec's of the prototype (milling, turning, welding) and tolerances
3) change control - modification to work already performed is a do over, full cost of previous work plus cost of new spec
4) Scope creep - If it's not in the SOW or Tech Spec's - it's not in scope of the job, requires step 3 above - change control/contract modification
5) In business no one is your friend - they are a client, and they are trying to get the most for the least amount of dollars.
In the end you have to gage how much free work you are willing to do...
I think you hit it on the nose, exactly correct!
Thanks for all the replys.
I am more than familar with the whole contract obligation routines. That's seems to be half of what I deal with on a daily basis Especially when we have a custom building project underway. In fact, we just had a customer back out of a $200K+ contract after the foundation was poured.....but that's what significant earnest monies up front are for, so we aren't going to get hurt on it (and the property is in our company name).
All that said, I think those kind of business practices are pretty universal from industry to industry. Sometimes the stakes vary from time time, though.
Steve-thanks for the input on the contract specifics...BTW, no offense intended in the initial thread about engineers.....I hope to get there myself someday. But there are times you have to sit back and wonder just what somebody was thinking when they designed something (and the fact that a senior member of the team signed off on it too!)
I guess my real goal over time is to be that small one stop shop that people bring work to you when nobody else in the area will tackle it (within reason, of course). A friend of mine does that in the pump world. If you need a pump, they can build it....if you have the money. They tackle the entire project from design, sand casting, machining, and installation. Another individual that I would probably be in some sort of partnership with on the endeavor spent twenty years in the machine tool industry. He mainly dealt with custom tools for customers. They would start with a basic stock machine and build one-off accesories and tools for it. As with most people that spend that much time doing that kind of work, he has been very eager in starting up something like that again. Start small, pay cash as you go, and hopefully have more work than time.

I think its a great idea if you can make a go of it. I did R&D for a multi million dollar company for a while ( I am not a fan of engineers who have never been in the field !) We spent more time fixing and doing mods to what the engineers didnt see the first time around then we should have, but it was interesting none the less. But when it came to building working prototypes I loved it ! If I could do that with my business I would. Even with over 20 years of maintaining,repairing, and R&D on high speed production equipment, I still cant get that industry to work outside their own machine builders. So it could be a tough road, atleast in the area of my expertise. But man if you can do it, more power to you ! I stay away from production work myself but still have to do some just to pay the bills. I would love to hear how you are doing in a couple years.
prototype shop
I'm an engineer and that was my first full time gig out of college. Its been a full five years now setting up shop. I worked for GM and MAck TRucks, although it was a great experience I'd never go back to industry unless I was hard up for cash. Now I work in research/acedemics for the Rehab Inst. of CHi. We work under grants so I know nothing about the financial end of things but how to spend. And that is what lead me to this group. I rescently pruchased and CNC and a welder other than that I have the standard machines to get the job done. Before that my main machine was a Bridgeport Verticle Mill. Now that I have the CNC and welder I barely touch the thing. All we make is custom. Its been a great job and environment and I've day dreamed of branching off on my own too. I look forward to hearing more from you.

BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
N.T. Wright and the Resurrection: Reviewing "Surprised by Scripture" (Part 3)
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
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.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.

West Virginia defeats ETSU 9-0 in rain-shortened game
Friday, May 14, 2004MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (May 14, 2004) - West Virginia broke open a scoreless game with nine runs over the fourth and fifth innings to defeat East Tennessee State in a rain-shortened game Friday night from Hawley Field in Morgantown, W. Va. The game was called due to thunderstorms prior to the sixth inning. The game began as a pitcher's duel as sophomore lefty Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) and Mountaineer ace Zac Cline each allowed just one hit through the first three innings. Calicutt worked out of a jam in the bottom of the third with defensive help from senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.). WVU had runners on second and third with one out after Doug Nelms reached on a fielder's choice and Kyle Matuszek doubled to right. Howdeshell saved at least a run, recording the second out of the inning on a diving catch of a soft liner up the middle by Jake Serfass. Following a walk to Grant Psomas, Howdeshell made another great play on a slow bouncer behind the mound by Lee Fritz, then gunning him down at first. West Virginia broke through in the bottom of the fourth, sending 11 men to the plate and erupting for seven runs. The big hits of the frame were a two-run triple by Travis D'Amico and a three-run homer by Grant Psomas. Serfass also hit an RBI single while Doug Nelms drove in a run with a double. The Mountaineers added two runs to their lead in the bottom of the fifth on a long two-run homer over the left field wall by Nelms. Between the fifth and sixth innings, the thunderstorms moved in and the game was called after a 49-minute delay. Calicutt was charged with the loss (5-7), allowing seven runs on eight hits while walking three and striking out one. Cline pitched his ninth complete game of the season and tossed his third consecutive two-hitter. He did not allow a walk and struck out two over his five innings. Junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) hit a single in the first inning and sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) singled in the fourth for ETSU's two hits. With his hit, Moore ran his team-best hitting streak to 13 games. Nelms led the Mountaineers, going 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Kyle Matuszek also was 2-for-3 with a run scored for WVU. ETSU and West Virginia return conclude their three-game set tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. from Hawley Field in Morgantown, W. Va.

Want to know where best to see an F1 car in full flight at Albert Park? Mark Webber gives us the inside line
by Matthew Clayton
Whether you're a first-time fan or a regular visitor to the Australian Grand Prix, there's nothing like a little inside knowledge to make your viewing experience more memorable.
Here's our guide to the best of the 16-turn, 5.303km street circuit that will host the opening Grand Prix of 2011 – and a look at what the drivers experience thanks to Aussie star Mark Webber.
Turn 1 (third gear, 145km/h) and Turn 2 (fourth gear, 200km/h)
First corner accidents are commonplace here – who can forget Ralf Schumacher's Williams taking flight over the back of Rubens Barrichello's Ferrari at the start of the 2002 race? In practice conditions, Webber says the bumps in the early part of the braking zone can be difficult.
The gravel trap on the outside of the circuit at Turn 1 will likely be busy during Friday practice as drivers get to grips with the new Pirelli tyres and the new-for-2011 adjustable rear wing, which can be used at any time in practice and will see cars at well over 300km/h on the approach into the first corner.
Turn 3 (second gear, 92km/h)
The inside of Turn 3 is a great place to stand with a general admission ticket – the cars will slow from over 200km/h to around 90km/h for the right-hander. Webber says the drivers have found this corner challenging in the latter stages of the race in the last two years with the late-afternoon start time.
"Also, from Turn 2 down to Turn 3, people don't realise that we go from the right side of the track at Turn 2 across to the left heading down to Turn 3, because there's a big crown in the track where the underneath of the car touches the ground on the way to Turn 3," he adds.
Turn 4 (third gear, 145km/h) and Turn 5 (sixth gear, 239km/h)
The inside of the circuit at Turn 5 is one of the better places to watch. There's a grassy hill to stand on with a superscreen directly opposite, and Webber says the run into Turn 5, with the cars building speed out of the previous corner, is a favourite.
"Turn 5 is very challenging and a corner all the drivers like," he says.
"There's not much run-off on the exit to the left, it's 230km/h plus, and we have to be very accurate."
Turn 6 (third gear, 134km/h)
It's only a short blast between Turn 5 and 6, but the cars will be in seventh gear and nudging 280km/h before braking for the corner. Turn 6 is where Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi triggered a multi-car accident last year on the opening lap.
There's a pedestrian overpass between Turns 5 and 6 so you can sample the action from both sides of the track, and Webber says the variable light poking through the canopy of trees makes braking "pretty tricky".
"The sun seems to flash through the trees, so the inconsistency of the light makes it tough," he says.
Turn 11 (fifth gear, 226km/h) and Turn 12 (fifth gear, 233km/h)
The best sequence of corners at Albert Park, and the place to go to truly appreciate the commitment of the drivers at high speed. The approach to Turn 11 is a 290km/h curve, while Webber says the corner itself can really make a lap time.
"Turns 11 and 12 are just a very good part of the track," he says.
"It's crucial to get 11 right because there's a lot of time to be gained there. You see people run wide into Turn 12, but all of the work you do is at Turn 11. You come down two gears into Turn 11, into fifth, and then grab sixth as you exit 12."
A spot by the fence on the exit of Turn 12, looking back towards Turn 11, is the place to be.
Turn 13 (third gear, 138km/h)
Ask any driver and they'll tell you that while the speed of an F1 car is impressive, the brakes are what take your breath away. Get a sense of that here by using the pedestrian overpass on the outside of the circuit between Turns 12 and 13 to stand on the inside of Turn 13. From nearly 300km/h on the short straight, the cars will scrub off 150km/h in the last 200m before the corner, their brakes glowing white-hot.
"Turn 13 is bumpy on the kerb for us, so you tend to go in deep because it's only a short straight afterwards," Webber says.
Turn 14 (fifth gear, 205km/h), Turn 15 (second gear, 84km/h), Turn 16 (fourth gear, 180km/h)
The inside of the track between Turns 14 and 15 is a spot where you can get close to the cars as they brake for the slowest corner on the track. It's not uncommon to see drivers out-brake themselves and end up down the escape road or on the grass to the inside of the circuit.
"Turn 14 is pretty quick, open on the way in and tightens on the exit," Webber says,
"Turn 15 is very, very slow, 80-odd km/h, and then there's a lot of understeer into Turn 16 as you come back onto the start-finish straight. You rarely see a car with problems on the way into Turn 16, and you don't want to understeer on the exit there - or you'll be in the wall."

Miami Gardens, FL (Sports Network) - Stephen Morris passed for 413 yards and three touchdowns as the Miami-Florida Hurricanes became bowl eligible by completing a 40-9 rout of the South Florida Bulls in a late-season non- conference duel between the in-state rivals at Sun Life Stadium.
Morris connected on 21-of-32 attempts and did not throw an interception while under center for Miami (6-5). Phillip Dorsett made a game-high 12 receptions for 111 yards. Herb Waters and Clive Walford respectively finished with 130 and 135 receiving yards and both made a touchdown grab. Kendal Thompkins was almost the fourth Hurricane to eclipse the century mark in receiving yards as he finished with 80 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Duke Johnson picked up 67 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries while Rayshawn Jenkins anchored the Hurricanes' defensive unit with seven tackles and an interception.
Matt Floyd could not get into a rhythm while under center for USF (3-7), completing only 20-of-35 attempts for 175 yards with two interceptions. Demetrius Murray managed to pick up a game-high 108 yards on 16 carries, but he was unable to find his way into the end zone. The Bulls have now lost seven of their last eight games.
The only points of the opening quarter came courtesy of a 39-yard field goal by Jake Wieclaw, which gave Miami a 3-0 lead.
Wieclaw connected on a pair of field goals from 22 and 37 yards away to start the second quarter as well. Miami built upon its three field goal lead when Morris completed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Thompkins at the 9:24 mark of the second contest.
USF managed to get on the board when Maikon Bonani kicked 23-yard field goal through the uprights as time expired in the first half. Bonani's chip shot sent the Bulls into halftime trailing, 16-3.
The Hurricanes opened up the second half with three unanswered touchdowns. Johnson rushed eight yards for a score at the 11:06 mark of the third frame before Morris competed a pair of big passes for scores. First Morris connected with Waters for an 87-yard touchdown pass in the middle of the third frame, then he connected with Walford for a 65-yard score through the air in the opening minute of the fourth frame.
Bonani stooped the run with just over 10 minutes to play with a 25-yard field goal. Wieclaw answered with a 33-yard kick through the uprights of his own to give Miami a 40-6 lead at the 6:46 mark of the final period. Bonani added one more field goal to finalize the score.
Miami amassed 548 yards of total offense as it became bowl eligible under Al Golden for the second time.

Detroit Pumpkin Dishes
Best Pumpkin Dishes In The Detroit Area
Fall is finally in full force and one of the things Detroit has on hand are pumpkins. But contrary to what many think, they are not just for carving. Long before the Jack-O-Lantern came to be, eating the giant squashes was the order of the day.
