Wasting taxpayer money and lawmaker time on silly gesturing. That is about as much as this crap amounts to. There's no principle to it- it's like a crazy girlfriend that wants to argue with you for no ****ing reason other than to hear herself complain.
Reshad "GET IT ON" Jones
gettin it on!
And i agree with you, theres absolutely no principle involved with this. The GOP sees a chance to make Obama's life more difficult and they are doing it, how this effects others is irrelevant to them.
That said, as the article indicated, i cant blame them for seeing no downside to this(politically that is). Reid showed his hand when he backed down from the filibuster reform. They know the voters will be more ready to elect a Republican in '16. And they know Democrats wont hold government hostage when a Republican is President. If they have no fear of losing their jobs, feel they can eventually get what they want, and feel they can successfully blame the left if something goes wrong, why not do it?
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
Didnt the Dems (Ted "Bad Date" Kennedy in fact) invent a term for denying a Presidential nomination?
Oh yeah, Borking.
Don't fool yourself, the Dems are just as obstructive as the GOP.....none of them work for us anymore. We should strip them of all pay and perks...Lord knows more money is spent winning a seat in DC than the seat actually pays
"Wasting lawmakers time" is a GOOD thing. When they're arguing about stupid crap they're not imposing more reactionary laws and oppressive regulations.
Im somewhat disappointed that more African Americans dont think for themselves and just go with whatever theyre supposed to say and think."
- Dr. Benjamin Carson
Never before has a President had a Cabinet nominee blocked. Couple this with the 3-4 times as many filibusters since the GOP became the minority, and id happy to give the GOP the award for unprecedented obstruction. And the way they brag about it, theyd probably accept. If you want to hang onto what happened during Reagan's term to justify whats currently happening, by all means. But its attitudes like that that develop this kind of broken government. The current Republican party is not the same as the one from the 80's. Neither is the current Democratic party. Im treating them like different entitees. If we were going by just the names used, then Lincoln would be talked about more on here.
Anyway you cut it, this would normally set a bad precedent. But like i said before, the GOP is right to see no downside to this. Democrats wont retaliate when Obama's term is up(at least not in any real way). It has nothing to do with some nobility, but the fact that they lack testicular fortitude.

The connection between knowledge organization systems and digital libraries is not so obvious at first sight, especially for the large public. The meaning of KOS (Knowledge Organization Systems), however, should suggest what they have in common.
What Are Knowledge Organization Systems?
KOS are intended to include all types of information organization and promote knowledge management. They include classification schemes used to organize material such as books, headings that give access to details, as well as authority files that exert control over various versions of key data: personal names, geographic names, and more.
But there is more. They also encompass less-traditional schemes, like semantic networks, which let them organize information and become the very heart of archives, museums, and libraries. This is the point where knowledge organization systems and digital libraries converge.
KOS are used to classify materials in order to render them easy to retrieve and manage. Therefore, these systems serve as bridges between the information that a user needs and the materials in the collection. By using a KOS, a person should identify any object of interest with few or without prior information of its existence.
Direct searching or browsing, finding themes on site search engines – all these are means to guide a KOS user through the discovery process. Moreover, knowledge organization systems allow the users to get answers to questions related to the scope of the collection.
How Do Digital Libraries Use Knowledge Organization Systems?
Any digital library uses at least one KOS. Just like in the case of physical libraries, the KOS provides a content overview of the collection and gives support for information retrieval. The decision of which knowledge organization system is more appropriate to a certain digital library is the key to the development of that library, because, once the material becomes part of the collection, the knowledge organization system must be meaningful to every user.
Some Characteristics of Knowledge Organization Systems Related to Libraries in Digital Format
Regardless of their diversity, knowledge organization systems still have some common characteristics that make their use critical in organizing libraries in digital format:
If you think that digital libraries are already at the top of what research and learning mean, you are probably wrong. Just ask someone to picture an academic at work, doing some research, and you will be surprised to see that this description includes a library in most cases, or at least some book shelves, journals and books open on a desk, and, eventually, a netbook. This is where we are at present: physical libraries are still the icon of libraries in the collective mind.
Are Digital Libraries Really Present in the Researchers' Life?
Although this is the mental representation of the majority, studies show that academics nowadays spend much less time in a physical library, searching for books and journals needed for their research, but use virtual libraries instead.
A vast majority of them say that the main role of a university library is that of a purchaser of content. Only half of them declare to be really dependent on a library to work, while an insignificant number of academics start their research by visiting the university library.
The phenomenon is even more obvious when it comes to journals. They have practically eliminated their hard copy equivalents. Almost three quarters of the academics answering to surveys agree that printed copies of journals are not important to them if electronic copies continue to be available.
Things change a bit when access to collections is involved. If long term access is in discussion, academics recognize that maintaining hard copy collections of their favorite journals would be a plus. In their opinion, at least some libraries should keep on maintaining such collections.
Most of the participants in such surveys are unanimous when claiming that e-books and e-journals are now a part of their scientific life. It becomes clear that the content of digital libraries is more important to the scientific world than it was a few years ago.
Why Would Digital and Physical Libraries Further Coexist?
There are some reasons why these two types of library are condemned to keep living together for some time:
Digital libraries can effectively bring new services that physical libraries are not able to provide, and this is what school leaders, for example, should be aware of. Digital information can be shared more effectively than traditional material, and even copyrighted information may be made available in a form that avoids illegal distribution.
Students can be determined to rather use information found in the library than search for internet resources that are not always trustable. To resume, librarians can demonstrate that 21st-century school libraries can be used correctly and are really necessary.
A Few Steps to Take When Implementing a Digital Library
There are three important tasks to accomplish on the way from physical to digital libraries:
A digital library cannot exist without an exceptional software platform. This is the front door of the library, but also its stacks, seating and circulation areas. This is where students conduct their research and are able to find good books to read. The staff also inhabits this space and continues to organize it and make it attractive, easy to use.
Digital Libraries and the Software Platform
The library's software platform is the main element that can make a digital library effective, but is often a neglected area. One reason may be that school administrators do not pay enough attention to giving the library a dedicated digital space. Libraries, in many cases, have to stuff their services into the old digital structure of the campus. This is supposed to change if real performance is expected from the new digital system.
Another issue is integrating the resources of the library with e-textbooks, to prevent students from carrying heavy textbooks in their backpacks. Good cooperation with e-textbook vendors is crucial to solving this matter. Otherwise, these vendors would be more than happy to charge the school or even each student for added content, and the true goal of implementing digital libraries in schools would not be reached.
Digital libraries are a means of rapid and easy access to books, images and archives of different types. The advantages of these libraries are widely recognized by more and more people and organizations.
A Short Comparison between Digital and Physical Libraries
Unlike traditional libraries that have a limited storage space, a digital library has a huge storage potential, because digital information needs far less physical space to be stored. For this reason, maintaining a digital library does cost much less than maintaining a traditional one. Not to mention the large amounts spent on staff wages, book maintenance, portfolio renewal, and rent, which add to the costs required by a physical library. Digital libraries reduce or, in many cases, eliminate such fees.
Cataloguing is required by both types of library, in order to allow users to retrieve the material they are searching for. However, in the case of a digital library, technological innovations that bring improvements to the users' experience are more likely to be implemented.
Electronic and audio material technology or new forms of communication, like blogs and wikis are specific to libraries in digital format. Accessibility to users is dramatically increased for this type of library, as access is allowed regardless of the geographical location, distance, or organizational affiliation.
Specific Advantages of Digital Libraries
To resume, eight advantages of libraries in digital format have to be mentioned:

Why did the Massachusetts US Attorney's office persecute Aaron Swartz?
Kade Crockford, director of the ACLU of Massachusetts Technology for Liberty project, co-wrote this blog.
Losing Internet and social justice activist Aaron Swartz feels like a punch to the solar plexus for those of us who care about freedom. The world has lost a young man of rare genius, compassion, courage and an unwavering commitment to social justice.
His death by suicide last week was "the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach," said a statement released by his family.
Swartz, age 26, was facing a maximum sentence of decades in prison after federal prosecutors in Boston last week reportedly rejected a plea deal that would have have required him to plead guilty to multiple felonies and spend six months in prison. The charges were based on allegations that Swartz broke into a utility closet at MIT and hid a computer to download articles from an academic database called JSTOR.
JSTOR's attorney--former prosecutor Mary Jo White--reportedly called the lead Boston prosecutor in the case and asked him to drop it--to no avail. JSTOR has since made its entire database of scholarly articles publicly available.
Compare the persecution of Swartz to prosecutors' discretionary decision not to prosecute HBSC, the major bank accused of "laundering billions of dollars for Mexican drug cartels and groups linked to al-Qaeda." Compare the zealous persecution of Swartz to the federal government's treatment of the financial institutions that arguably engineered the collapse of the global economy.
The message seems clear: there is no limit to the things you can get away with if you are powerful. That has also been the case with our own government.
Indeed, there have been no prosecutions when the government illegally spies on its own citizens or tortures in the name of freedom. No one has served or even been threatened with jail time for the most heinous abuses of the rule of law over the past twelve years. It appears that every criminal spying scheme--every human rights violation--is too big to fail in the 21st century USA.
Why, then, did U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and other prosecutors go after Aaron Swartz?
One possible reason is that Aaron Swartz was famous. He was a wunderkind who helped create the Creative Commons, the website Reddit, and RSS, the technology behind blogs, podcasts, and other subscription based services. By going after Swartz, prosecutors were sending a message to the entire Internet freedom community that anyone who challenges secrecy will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Another reason is that Aaron Swartz was far more than an internet freedom activist. Swartz believed in transparency not merely as a good, in itself, but because it is necessary to shed sunlight on social injustice. His colleague and friend Matthew Stoler writes that Swartz "had a much broader agenda than the information freedom fights for which he had become known." He was "a political activist interested in health care, financial corruption, and the drug war," writes Stoler. He wanted to make the world a better place for everyone in it.
By prosecuting Swartz to the full extent of the law, possibly actually hounding him to death, the government hasn't done society any favors. We lost a leader, a thinker, and above all a human being committed to working for justice for all.
In his eloquent remembrance of Swartz, Glenn Greenwald asks what we are all asking, as we look at a federal government that lets the most powerful institutions walk even when charged with the most serious of crimes, while it obsessively harasses whistleblowers and political activists: why?
Nobody knows for sure why federal prosecutors decided to pursue Swartz so vindictively, as though he had committed some sort of major crime that deserved many years in prison and financial ruin. Some theorized that the DOJ hated him for his serial activism and civil disobedience. Others speculated that, as Doctorow put it, "the feds were chasing down all the Cambridge hackers who had any connection to Bradley Manning in the hopes of turning one of them."
I believe it has more to do with what I told the New York Times' Noam Cohen for an article he wrote on Swartz's case. Swartz's activism, I argued, was waged as part of one of the most vigorously contested battles - namely, the war over how the internet is used and who controls the information that flows on it - and that was his real crime in the eyes of the US government: challenging its authority and those of corporate factions to maintain a stranglehold on that information.
Given the federal government's troubling obsession with secrecy, we may never know why prosecutors spent so much energy targeting Aaron Swartz like it did. The Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig wants to know, however, and he has urged Massachusetts US Attorney Carmen Ortiz to open an independent investigation into her office's prosecution. We support Professor Lessig's call.
But the investigation shouldn't end with the role the Massachusetts US Attorney's office played in this prosecution. Apparently records indicate that the Secret Service had been involved in the investigation directed against Swartz since two days before his arrest in July 2011. Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama should also examine their roles in this tragedy.
Aaron Swartz's case illustrates what we've known for a while now: the federal government doesn't have its priorities straight. If it did, the people who tortured helpless detainees and the people who authorized that torture would be facing federal prison sentences, not the person who blew the whistle on the torture.
In Aaron's memory, let's redouble our efforts to reverse that trend.

En español | Four esteemed actors. Six Academy Awards. A combined legacy of some of the most iconic films ever made: Raging Bull, Wall Street, The Shawshank Redemption, The Big Chill and so many more.
As Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline arrive one by one at a Manhattan photo studio to talk about Last Vegas, a hilarious new buddy movie that opens Nov. 1, the moment feels monumental. It's a little like watching Mount Rushmore take shape. But then the partying begins.
Movie Review: Is Last Vegas worth your time and money?
As AARP The Magazine's photo squad and writer get situated, chilled bottles of champagne come uncorked. Cucumber martinis are poured. The actors clink to long life, happiness and continued prosperity.
At one point Douglas, 69, and still drawing raves for his portrayal this year of Liberace in HBO's Behind the Candelabra, leads an impromptu sing-along of "My Girl." So what that it's barely 5 p.m. on a Tuesday? "When you get to this stage, you celebrate — period," says Freeman, 76, with that elegant baritone. "Doesn't matter if it's morning or night. Friend hands you a glass, you look him in the eye and say, 'Cheers.'"
Even for these Hollywood titans, hanging out together is clearly a special deal. Somehow, despite hundreds of individual movie, television and theater credits, they had never worked with one another until now. "What are the odds?" says Kline, the baby of the group at 65. "Michael, Morgan, Bobby …" They all call 70-year-old De Niro "Bobby." "We're not talking about one-hit sensations here."

After Comments:
Fix the perspective on the power button. Also the reflection is off, the angle isn't parallel phone.
And the screen reflection looks to shiny and wierd
I like simplicity.
It's cool, but no matter how I look at this, light is off.
Screen reflection does not match the shadow, gradient on the bg doesn't either.
I've tweaked it a bit:
Edited shadow and lighting on screen, is it any better?
Yeah, the reflection is wrong to.
The bottom part is stretched[strike], and if im not wrong the screen should be the other way[/strike]...
Look at the reflection
that reflection is wrong..
I didn't measure the angle and made it correct, but i belive its more correct then yours.
Please explain!
ok, the reflection angle might be correct to some degree but the proprtions of the image in the reflection are wrong...Look at the distance from the left edge to the screen and then look at the distance in the reflection. Try flipping the reflection layer, horizontally
Whoopsie, i meant i didn't mesure it!
My point:
The two red lines should be parallell!
The light blue lines should be paralell with the pink.
The blue line should have equal distance to the green line.
Ill fiqure out how to make the perfect proportional stuff tomorrow....
yeh the lines are parralel, but they should be in line
I do not understand...
teh revision looks fine to me.. Did u make the iPad model also ?
was that a joke? :L
if it wasn't, well it's my first ever model so I only did one and I wasnt sure how i'd go about doing it so i experimented alot. I might make some more if anyone was interested in this one.
Would like to see another, try to make a..... Laptop!
a laptop! ill get back to you on that :/
Just make that phone again, but alot wider, then make a phone rotated 90*
nah, i'd rather start afresh, besides I make each face first and then join it together
this should help the reflection discussion done in C4D, in like 10 min, so no detail...
yeh it's probs alot easier in c4d...
props to you for doin it without it

We're finally ready to roll out this year's singles league info! Tim Acker has very kindly stepped up to the plate for running the action this year. First date will be Saturday, May 19th. Action will start promptly at 10 am; sign-in/players meeting 9:45 am.
What's new: Singles will be on the FIRST and THIRD Saturdays of each month (no action if there's a fifth Saturday) at 10 am, instead of every Monday night. We're grateful that everyone could make it out on Mondays the last several years, but the logistics of getting there after work and getting done before dark were always a challenge, and none of us could commit to being able to be there every Monday night to run things this year.
What's the same:
- Two divisions, Open (pro) and Recreational
- Minimum buy-in $2 Rec/$11 Open
- All-in $5 Rec/$15 Open (including Ace Pool and CTPs)
- Handicaps will be calculated based on league play and used to determine order of finish
- Points will be awarded each week (1 point for each person in your division you beat, based on handicapped order of finish)
- $1 from minimum buy-in gets split between RDGC and RRPD
- Everyone should have a great time
We did consider carefully the conflict with Alexander doubles on Saturday mornings, but we're hoping it won't be too much of a challenge for folks since:
- Alex is about 40 minutes away
- There didn't seem to be a huge amount of overlap among the players from past ERP Monday singles and Alex doubles
- It's a different format, which we hope will appeal to different sets of players
- Ours is only every other week, so you could still play Alex doubles twice a month even if you show up alternate Saturdays at ERP.
We know there may also be conflicts with particular tournaments -- we'll consider adjust the schedule as needed on a case-by-case basis.
If you need more info, feel free to post here, watch the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/RoswellDiscGolfClub , or e-mail email@example.com .

Performing in the same arena where they were narrowly defeated for first place in 2010, Herndon High School�s varsity cheerleading team went to Richmond on Saturday determined to give this year�s story a better ending.
Herndon�s 24-member team did just that, winning their first-ever state championship by knocking off a talented Fairfax squad that had beaten the Hornets a week earlier at regionals.
�This win is really special to me because a couple years ago we got second place by a really narrow margin,� said Herndon senior captain Sarah Strangfeld, who was on the 2010 team that lost to Cosby High School at Virginia Commonwealth University�s Siegel Center.
�In the past four years, people have grown to respect [cheerleading]� In some schools, they don�t respect their cheerleaders, but in our school people really support us,� said Strangfeld, adding that the team�s recent rise to the top has altered the perception of cheerleading as a sport within the school.
�We�ve proven that it�s a sport. We�ve proven that we�re good at it,� she said.
Statewide, cheerleading has seen growth in students and schools participating as well as the level of athleticism, according to Virginia High School League, an alliance of Virginia�s public high schools that monitors sportsmanship and other student scholastic activities such as competitions.
Participation has risen from 4,839 students representing 209 schools during the 2008-09 school year to 5,197 students representing 221 schools in 2011-12, about a 9 percent jump. VHSL representatives said this year�s enrollment numbers are not yet available. Still, the sport has not reached competitive level at all of the about 315 high schools that are members of VHSL.
VHSL Assistant Director Joyce Sisson said, �[Cheerleading] becomes more athletic all the time� It�s a very athletic activity.�
She said high school communities often overlook the two faces of cheerleading. While cheerleaders are best known for sparking crowds at high school football games, the team shows its true talent on the mat.
�At football games, you usually just see us on the sideline chanting and that kind of thing. But when we�re at a competition, we have a serious face on,� Herndon junior Alex Coffelt said. Coffelt is one of three boys on the Herndon cheerleading team. Only about 25 male athletes competed in Saturday�s championship, according to VHSL.
�It�s a lot harder than it looks. It takes everything you have,� he said. �It�s tumbling and jumping. It�s much harder than just throwing a ball.�
And unlike the grit and grime of contact sports, cheerleading defines grit and grin, Herndon�s team said.
�It�s not just tumbling and stunting. You�re doing all that while smiling,� said junior captain Kara Joyce. �My freshman year was the first year anyone at the school had seen a cheer team do really well. They won districts and regionals that year. They saw that cheer is really competitive as opposed to just sideline cheering.�
This year, Herndon exceeded its own expectations, earning the second highest score ever for schools competing in the AAA bracket during the cheerleading competition.
�In 2007, Chantilly [High School] had the highest one ever — 281, and we got 280.5 [this year],� explained senior captain Hannah Moore. According to VHSL, many strong cheer teams have come from Northern Virginia, including Chantilly and Herndon in the AAA bracket and Loudoun County powerhouse Briar Woods High School, which won its fourth straight AA state title last week.
VHSL spokesman Mike McCall confirmed that higher scores had been recorded 20 or so years ago, but they came under a scoring method that was shifted in the 1990s.
Sission said, �280. That�s a high score. That�s almost a 90 percent on everything.� Cheerleading teams are judged in five categories: motions, jumps, tumbling, stunts and dance skills. In each category, a team can earn up to 15 points from each judge. Five judges watch the competition. The low and high scores out of the five are thrown out, leaving the middle three scores for the final calculation.
�The judges are people who are registered with VHSL as judges,� Sisson said. �They take a rules exam each year and they attend rules clinics [which are now offered online].�
Each of the state�s 12 regions advanced four cheerleading squads to the state championship. A first round elimination meant that only the top five teams qualified for the final round. Each of those teams started with a blank slate when competing in that final round.
�We knew we had hit a really good routine,� Moore said. �They announced third place and it wasn�t us. And I remember looking at my coach and thinking, �we must have tied or something.� Then they announced Fairfax got second and our coaches started crying and we knew we�d won.�
The team�s victory coincides with the end of a nine-year coaching career at Herndon for Jenny Goff, who is retiring to take care of her infant son who was born the first week of cheerleading in August. The varsity cheerleading squad has six coaches, a high number that Goff attributes to the community�s high interest in the sport. Two other coaches — Suzanne Mansfield and Emma Collaie — are also leaving the team this year.
Goff graduated from Herndon High School in 2002 and was a cheer captain for the school. During her junior year of high school, Goff said her cheerleading squad went from worst in the district to advancing to regionals thanks to a good coach.
Goff said her goal was to give what she got from her coach.
�It�s been an amazing journey. I tell the team that they are my Cinderella story,� Goff said. �Here�s the cool thing about Herndon. I would say the best sport at Herndon is cheerleading and here they are the ones that cheer on other sports, but now they�re being cheered on.�

Benny Solis Speaks About his Time at Homestead-Miami Speedway
NEWS December 9, 2011
So this last week has been pretty fun. Since its off-season, not much goes on besides homework and training. I'd like to ride every week, but that's not always possible. Though, last weekend I was able to go to the CCS round at Homestead. It's now on the AMA Pro Road Racing schedule for 2012, so it's great that I went and learned the track. We also got some good info for the bike and I actually really liked the track. It's really fun to go around and it's got great traction so I'm stoked to have it as a race for next season. The races at CCS went well for me, I was able to get a win and a few podiums plus a 5th place in the big class. Other than the races, everything else went smooth. I tried out a set of Sidi boots and they are pretty awesome, I feel like a robot with them haha, in a good way. They are comfortable and feel like they protect very well. Looks like Ill possibly have some new sponsors for next season, if it all happens then I'll make sure to let everyone know!

"CBGB" follows the story of Hilly Kristal's New York club from its origins as Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock 'n roll and punk. Kristal, a fan of Country and Bluegrass dreamed of having a club in the lower Eastside that catered to that kind of music, when he had difficulty booking those bands he turned to other kinds of rock music. Hilly had one demand of the acts he booked, they could only play their own original music. No top 40's, no covers. It was the credo he lived by, support the artist at whatever the cost.

For those using 64-bit systems I thought a 64-bit bits thread may be useful!
Let me kick in here with two suggestions for software apps that are 64-bit native.
1. SmartFTP. I have traditionally used WS-FTP Pro for ftp work but wanted to check out 64-bit apps in this area. SmartFTP is fast, stable and with a good feature set (not quite rivalling Ipswitch but good).
2. AB Commander. My stable explorer program has always be Directory Opus. Again, wanting to check out 64-bit alternatives led me to AB Commander. Fast, attractive, functional, dual-paned and infinitely better than Vista Explorer.
I am terrible at software reviews so I guess I am just mentioning these as programs I think are worth checking out.
Other suggestions..?

During the original cycling boom of the late nineteenth century, the gentry were out touring the country and abroad on their bikes. Proprietors of every kind added 'CTC' to their hoardings to encourage a pedalling populace to patronise their hotels, cafes and shops. By 1888, CTC was dispensing its official endorsements in the form of a Winged Wheel, a huge circular sign two feet across.

Recipe by Bob Goldsmith
"I have used this simple rub to make ribs on the barbi in both Memphis, where I learned, and England, where I now live. The dry rub will stop the ribs from burning on the outside, as happens with some wet sauces. This rub is hot and sweet, which makes it perfect for ribs. The proportions of ingredients can be adjusted to taste. On two continents, I've received nothing but compliments for this recipe. I use this for approximately 2 kilograms ribs. "
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup
ground cayenne pepper
1 cup
dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons
Addicted! I use this as a rub on pork loin and pork chops. I adjusted the recipe to 3/4 c. brown sugar, 2 T. Cayenne, 2 T. Black pepper, 1 T. Salt. Goes perfectly with sweet potatoes.
My husband and I like spicy food and hot wings, but man, this is WAY too much!

This is an excellent recipe! I adjusted it slightly and added garlic powder and onion powder which made the ribs truly spectacular and the flavor was incredible!
This recipe did just what it claimed to do and more. Easy to prepare - no muss, no fuss. No burnt spots on the pork ribs, even after being on the BBQ for 45 minutes. Held all the juices inside, by far the juiciest ribs I've ever BBQ'd.
The best compliment came from my 8 year old who could not get enough -- she even gave up her dessert to have more of these ribs... and that is a 1st for her to eat my BBQ ribs like that.
I altered the recipe a bit, for one I didn't have cayenne pepper and I left my recipe on my desk, so what I could remember was the brown sugar and peppers. I did 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/4 cup Montreal Steak Seasoning, rubbed it on and grilled 5 mins (top/bottom) and served. Yummy! I would have left out the salt even if I remembered because I don't use salt in my recipies unless it's cookies.
Thanks for sharing this great recipie!! I wonder if it works as good with chicken!! I'll try it!
This was a fantastic version of the country style ribs!! I had no cayenne pepper so I substituted Pampered Chef Cajun Seasoning. It was pretty spicy at first however after a few bites the flavor was great. I baked them in the oven and they were sooooo juicy.
Great, easy recipe if you like SPICY. It certainly made the meat so tender it fell off the bone. I cooked my ribs on a low heat 275, for about 2 hours, then topped with a bottled sauce, the kids like sticky fingers!! I would have given it 5 stars for heat!

A video of T-ara's Enjung forcing Hwa Young to eat a rice cake is drawing a lot of attention.
An online community posted captured images from the video with the caption, "Ham Eunjung and rice cakes." In the show, which was recorded in Japan, Eunjung is forcing Hwa Young to eat a rice cake."
Eunjung and other members are smiling but Hwa Young looks like she is about to cry. Eunjung is putting a big rice cake into Hwa Young's mouth and the video made people believe that they have been bullying Hwa Young.
People responded: "How can they look so happy after forcing her to eat rice cakes?" "Eunjung is laughing but Hwa Young looks like she is about to cry." "What if Hwa Young gets indigestion?"
On July 28, T-ara members tweeted criticisms, which sounded like they blamed Hwa Young for not performing on stage due to her injured leg. Those tweets caused a controversy over Hyo Young being bullied and T-ara's agency, Core Contents Media, ultimately announced that they had canceled Hwa Young's contract.
The agency said, "We think teamwork is important so we decided to listen to opinions from nineteen staff members. We don't want them to suffer anymore so we decided to cancel Hwa Young's contract."
After the announcement from the agency, Hwa Young expressed her feelings by tweeting, "The facts without the truth." Then the agency said, "T-ara appeared on KBS's Music Bank on July 27. Hwa Young, however, with only two teams were left before their performance, suddenly announced that she would not perform on stage . Eunjung and Hyomin had to cover Hwa Young's rap in order not to cause problems during the program."
According to the agency, even though there are several incidents regarding Hwa Young, president Kim wanted to protect her by keeping those incidents under wraps. They also said that it is unfortunate that she felt the need to leave such a comment on her Twitter account. They said, "We hope that Hwa Young realizes what she did wrong."
Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu also tweeted that she hopes T-ara members can perform together in great harmony.

I just couldn't wait for actual lessons with someone with experience. I have a good understanding of the concept of spinning, how a wheel works, flyer and bobbin assemblies, drafting, etc.
I had a brain lapse last week and didn't post Holiday best wishes other than individually. So....I want to wish all of you the very best of New Year's in 2010.
Would any of you find strapping men like to test my glove pattern.
I feel as though I've worked on this all year, but I think it's taken me about 8months to finish this fully beaded, lace shawl. I am calling 2010 the year of selfish knitting.
Starter on the truck went out... no traveling but for bike and bus, and bus doesn't run to the island on the holidays.
I just got my results from my Stole Pattern and posted it on my blog for anyone that is interested...

Last week, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) convened the annual Regional Conference and General Assembly (GA) in Palm Desert for two days. The GA is a yearly convening of elected officials from across Southern California to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year.
The technologies drawing attention are user-centric that allow both users and providers to interact and share information about the transportation network. Active transportation and Safe Routes to Schools advocates should care about these trends because they are expanding transportation options, promoting active lifestyles and tipping the political scales towards multi-modalism in planning and implementation.The digital space is using the influx of information (i.e. big data) to find patterns and efficiencies in the transportation system. These mobile and web applications are facilitating supportive programs and policies for walking, bicycling and Safe Routes to School, even when active transportation is not the immediate focus of mobile and web applications. Safe Routes to School supporters will be able to better partner with transportation agencies, organizations and advocates, if they stay alert to the culture changes that technology is causing within transportation.
First, I posit that ride and car-sharing services will bolster walkable and bikeable communities. I see many ways that students and families will be supported and encouraged to be car-free or car-limited with more reliable alternative networks, such as ride and car-share, cross jurisdictional bicycle and pedestrian networks and public transportation. Ridesharing mobile applications like Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar are booming and flipped the script on taxi and car services and local job creation. Users of ride share applications can name their price for trips with Lyft and benefit (or suffer) with surge pricing with Uber. Potentially communities benefits in the strengthening of ride and car-share through crowdsourcing affordability and flexibility. Paratransit riders - usually the elderly and persons with disability - are also frequent users of ride-shares. Additionally, car sharing companies like Zipcar allow drivers to rent a car by the hour, where prices include insurance and maintenance. Personally, I know families that would benefit from having better access to alternative networks to get children to school and after-school activities. One family in particular was forced to give up their car free lifestyle when the local Zipcar location was closed. These technologies are means to fill in the transportation gaps for communities and families.
In early November 2013, the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) board adopted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (Item 7) with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The MOU commits the two agencies to working together on projects related to the implementation of the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). While the RTP/SCS is mandated by SB 375, state legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through trying land use and transportation planning in the RTP process, the MOU is strictly voluntary.
The MOU between SCAG and SANBAG demonstrates both agencies' commitment to the policies, projects and strategies set forth in the 2012 RTP/SCS. It is important for County Transportation Commissions (CTCs) to show commitment to implementation of plans and policies.
Specific planning projects are included in SANBAG's MOU that will transform San Bernardino County into a more walkable and bikeable place, improve the public health outcomes of its residents and help increase the number of children walking and bicycling to school. The MOU incorporates items recommended in the San Bernardino Active Transportation Vision, statistics and policy recommendations developed by stakeholders from San Bernardino County, including SANBAG staff, San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, Omnitrans, Safe Routes to School National Partnership, American Lung Association, MoveIE and Inland Empire Bicycle Alliance.
California's climate change legislation continues to provide opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian advocates to influence regional transportation policy and finance.

This moist pound cake is flecked with sweet coconut and lemon zest, with a sweet-tart glaze. Great memories also go along with the pound cake. My mother would make the ŌĆ£Lemon Coconut Pound CakeŌĆØ every Easter and again the pound cake would appear around the 4th of July. I make a fresh raspberry sauce to accompany the cake. It is a great cake to freeze, but do not add the glaze until the cake has thawed. This recipe can be changed to Lime Coconut Pound Cake by substituting the lemon juice and lime zest. Now get busy making your own memoriesŌĆ"Happy Spring!
Luscious Lemon Coconut Pound Cake
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 cup evaporated milk (or 1 cup coconut milk)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh)
2 tbsp. grated lemon rind (or zest)
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat 325 degrees. Grease and flour 10 inch tube pan and tap out the excess. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until evenly combined. Set aside. Beat butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar; beating continuously on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (this will take about 3-5 minutes). Scrape down the side of bowl as needed. The batter should be light in color and fluffy in texture. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and evaporated milk alternately until well incorporated. Stir in the coconut, lemon juice and grated lemon rind. Pour batter into prepared tube pan. Bake for 1 hour or until the cake pulls from the side of the pan. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 20 minutes. Remove the cake from pan and drizzle with ŌĆ£lemon glaze.ŌĆØ
2 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tbsp. water
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
Stir mixture and apply to warm cake with a pastry brush and sprinkle grated lemon rind on top
*** Did know you can use lemonade mix to make the lemon glaze ***
1/2 c. lemonade mix
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. melted butter
2 c. powdered sugar
fresh raspberry sauce
4 cups fresh raspberries, divided
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Combine two cups of raspberries and sugar in a food processor; process until pureed. Press mixture through a fine sieve over a medium bowl; discard solids. Stir in remaining 2 cups raspberries and lemon juice. Cover and chill. Strawberries can be a great substitute.

Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
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.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action (8 entries)
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance (5 entries)
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evidences for Evolution (7 entries)
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins (7 entries)
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: Understanding Evolution (4 entries)
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life (8 entries)
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Series: Miracles and Science (7 entries)
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
In The Bones
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
