Kosher Snacks
|Aloo Chaat Dilli Style
A Tangy Potato Snack
Adapted from How To Cook Indian by Sanjeev Kapoor
This recipe will transport you to the capital of India. Delhi, known as "Dilli" in the local dialect, has two sections: Old Delhi and New Delhi. Old Delhi is still the stronghold of eateries that boast the old style of Mughal cooking. New Delhi is replete with contemporary restaurants and street food. This snack, sold on the roadside, is best eaten just after the potatoes are cooked while they're still crisp.
1-inch piece fresh ginger, julienned
Put the ginger in a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon of the table salt, and stir well. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Put the potatoes in a bowl and toss with 1/4 teaspoon of the table salt.
Place a nonstick wok over medium heat and add the oil. When small bubbles appear at the bottom of the wok, add the potatoes, a few pieces at a time. Cook, stirring with a slotted spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove with the slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the onion, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon table salt, the black salt, chaat masala, chile powder, cumin, chiles, cilantro, and the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and stir well.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the ginger, and serve immediately.
Yield: Serves 4.
Chaat Masala Spice Mix
1/4 cup coriander seeds
Place a small nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the coriander and dry-roast until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl.
One spice at a time, dry–roast the cumin and ajwan, and add them to the coriander. Stir and set aside to cool comp0letely.
Transfer to a spice grinder. Add the chilies, black salt, citric acid, amchur, table salt, and pepper. Grind to a fine powder.
Store in an airtight container.
*also known as carom sees, it smells exactly like thyme but is more aromatic and less subtle in taste as it is slightly bitter and pungent.
**this recipe also includes 1/2 teaspoon dried amchur (dried unripe green mango powder). This is sometimes available in large pieces. If you can find it, grind it finely. Use in moderation as a little goes a long way.

Build a Gypsy Wagon in the Woods – All It Takes Is Ingenuity, Elbow Grease And (mostly) Recycled Components!
The first thing you notice about this gypsy wagon is the surrounding smell of cedar forest and the sound of crashing waves from the lake, which is just a stone's throw over the hill. In the winter, woodsmoke spirals up from the chimney that juts out of the curved wagon roof. There's a little lane leading up to the green glade, but it's nicest to arrive at the caravan on foot.
The 8' wide x 20' long caravan, or vardo, has been parked in this particular beautiful forest for a few years, but it's utterly moveable by a truck or tractor because it has wheels. It's built on a salvaged 5 ton truck chassis that cost $100, purchased from the local wrecking yard. The floor joists for the house are nailed to fir beams that are bolted to the metal frame. There are regular 2 x 4 framed walls sitting on top of the floor joists and the whole structure is crowned with curve cut roof rafters. The 8' x 20' size was determined by the width legally allowed on public roads without the need for a "WIDE LOAD" escort car.
The construction methods used to create this wagon are a combination of tradition and ingenuity, and the building materials are both new and recycled. The floor is local B.C. hemlock T & G and most of the windows can be opened to let in fresh mountain air in. Even the windows are secondhand, scoured from the local classifieds. The unique round window at one end is a repurposed 1970's picnic table top. The 1 1/2" nautical rope surrounding the window is the perfect flexible weather stripping, inside and out.
To accommodate the curve in the roof and the eyebrow entrance, the roofing material is flexible metal sheeting. There's a raised ridge vent and two 3' x 4' raised Lexan curved skylights. The exterior shingles cost nothing but elbow grease and an artist's eye — the shingles are sourced from spruce guitar top 'seconds', halved and split with a hatchet. The curves on the inside of the dwelling are covered with stretched canvas, firmly stapled in place and painted with white wash. The wagon is fully wired and has an RV plug outside for connecting it to a power source. The small 3 burner propane stove/oven was recycled from a camper van. Aficionados of the growing-in-popularity microhome movement, like The Tiny House Blog, are well versed in sourcing these small home components.
So, what about when nature calls? There is a nearby composting toilet in an A-frame outhouse. A cast iron clawfoot bathtub over a firepit provides a hot soak for the hardy and an outdoor tap is connected to fresh spring water.

Hi ildiko1- Glad you like it..I do too! It's a beautiful, artistic peaceful place to be. How could you have one? Probably two choices. You could build one-basically an 8′ x 20′ little house on a stripped down truck chassis- Or, you could buy one- there are a few builders around….where are you? I could connect you with an awesome caravan builder in BC Canada! ~Rachel

Restaurant health inspection reports are the latest part of a dispute between Rockville-based restaurant chain Silver Diner and a union that wants to organize some of its workers.
Unite Here — a New York-based labor union representing workers in industries that include food service, hotels and manufacturing — recently sent news releases to media outlets highlighting inspection reports of Silver Diner.
The union said inspectors found 260 total food safety violations, including 78 "critical" violations, since Jan. 1, 2012, at Silver Diner's 15 restaurants in Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey.
Silver Diner has corrected all critical violations and is in good standing with county health regulations in all three states, said Vicki Bendure, a Silver Diner spokeswoman.
"All 15 Silver Diner restaurants are in compliance with local health and food safety regulations," Bendure said. "If they were not in good standing, they would be closed. Silver Diner's record in Montgomery County is particularly good."
Unite Here is unfairly targeting the chain because of a months-long union dispute, she said.
"They have picketed restaurants and handed out flyers," Bendure said. "They have no other reason to have an interest in Silver Diner other than an attempt to organize Silver Diner employees."
The union is in the midst of an organizing campaign at Silver Diner's Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport location, said Meghan Cohorst, a Unite Here spokeswoman.
The case has involved the National Labor Relations Board, which in June issued a complaint against Silver Diner, alleging intimidation of workers involved in union activity. That complaint was settled when Silver Diner agreed to read a notice to workers with a NLRB representative present and not to interfere with union activity.
But that was not the driving factor behind the union sending out news releases on the inspection reports, Cohorst said.
"Some of what we do is to look at and analyze restaurants' inspection reports and other public reports associated with businesses in our industries," Cohorst said. "In the course of reviewing Silver Diner, we came upon these inspection reports and thought that they would be something that would interest the public."
Unite Here has analyzed inspections and other reports of businesses besides Silver Diner, she added.
That type of tactic is pretty typical, Bendure said, citing a website that she said detailed excesses by the union. Silver Diner has never been involved with unions in the past, she said.
"There was some changeover in management at BWI Airport, and I believe that's what triggered this," Bendure said. "Unite Here saw an opportunity."
Silver Diner has a strong family and community culture, with many managers working their way up from servers and remaining with the company for a long time, Bendure said. The company also is heavily involved in the community and has raised about $450,000 for area schools through a customer card program called "Eat Well, Do Well" and school fundraisers, she said.
A check of Montgomery County health department inspection reports of restaurants and other food-service establishments in the past two years showed 64 closure notices were handed out, but none of those went to Silver Diner.
The chain's restaurants in Gaithersburg and Rockville have had seven inspections since Jan. 1, 2012. Both received two critical violations for not storing food at the proper temperature, according to records from the county Health and Human Services' Licensure and Regulatory Services. Those were noted as being corrected at the time of inspection.
That Unite Here has not gone after any of the food establishments in Montgomery that received closure notices gives Silver Diner executives more reason to believe they are being unfairly targeted, Bendure said.
In the past two years, county inspectors have handed out about 4,000 critical violations, with more than 98 percent of those corrected before they receive a closure notice, according to county records. Almost 10,000 food-service sites passed without receiving any critical violations.
The overwhelming majority of closure notices are temporary, with most establishments correcting the problems "fairly quickly," said Kenneth Welch, environmental health manager in the county's licensure and regulatory services unit.
"The time period is dependent on the closure violation," he said. "Cold and hot holding violations can be corrected on site. Others, such as vermin control, may take a few days until they are able to clean, bring in a pest control business and properly treat."
Establishment owners who receive closure notices usually meet with county officials to review what is needed to regain compliance. A re-inspection fee of $100 during business hours is charged after closures. The county can issue steeper fines and seek judge's orders if the facility refuses to comply.

Slightly annoying this came down not even an hour after the game...

I have always wondered what would happen if a team won a game only to find out key players are suspended. Like if say GB wins the supper bowl but they find out Rodgers and Clay Mathews are on the juice. What then?
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

All of these pictures were taken using a microscope camera in Dr. Dare's Lab at Orlando Science Center. They are from a drop of pond water taken from Lake Estelle located next door. Take a look through our photo reel to see some awesome microscopic creatures!
The creature boxed in yellow is an example of an ostracod and is commonly known as a Seed Shrimp. Its body is protected by 2 half shells which meet at a hinge toward the top of its body. We found a mosquito in the 2nd stage of its life; eventually it will change and enter pupa stage of its development where it will then transform into an adult mosquito.
The nauphilus copepod has small antennae on its head that are used for swimming. The nauphilus stage is the first stage of development for crustaceans. What do you think it will look like when it grows up? We also found some nematodes, also known as roundworms. To-date over 28,000 different kinds of nematodes have been identified but scientist estimated there could be over 1 million different species.
The video features an ostracod that is first seen searching for food. Unexpectedly an adult copepod enters the frame and the ostracod appears to maneuver plants & algae around its self. See for yourself! Is it trying to hide?

Midwest Living Review
If you're looking for a little historical context for the sights you're about to see, plan to spend an hour or so in this beautifully restored Union Building, which reopened in 2011. The 1800s structure at the edge of downtown housed immigrant groups' fraternal organizations during the town's copper boom days and impresses with spacious areas for interpretive exhibits, gleaming hardwood floors, period light fixtures, and attractive metalwork and wood railings on the stairways. You can browse two floors of well-done exhibits, such as the can't miss "NOTICE, 100-500 Cornish miners & Underground Men WANTED immediately for Calumet, U.S.A." on the second floor. Interesting, engaging and fascinating, the exhibits draw you in with stories about people and daily life in this copper mining town, including the hardships of working in the mines, surviving during the miners' strike and functioning in a parternalistic corporate structure.
Displays and exhibits do a great job tracing Calumet's (then called Red Jacket) beginnings and explosion into a major copper mining boomtown, and intrepreting the dynamic and connections between the mining companies, the immigrants who came to work in the mines, the community and larger region.
It's open daily from late May through September. Winter hours are limited.

The economy in the United States is in a collapse. The Capitalist system does not work anymore; banks have become more powerful than our politicians. The government now has a policy based around
Fear and Greed. The rich are getting
richer and more powerful, while the great masses of America wallow in poverty.
Must we continue to exist in this passive state, only living to serve the rich and powerful? Or do
we, the great masses, stand up against the policies of Fear, and Greed, and
God? We must break the bonds that
separate us, we must pull down the centers of Greed and Fear and we must pull
down the houses of God.
These borders are created to separate us into individuals where we can be controlled easier.
We must stand up, against the tyranny of the centers of Greed, and Fear, and God; quoting John Adams: "People should not fear
government, government should fear people."
Once we stand up to Fear, to Greed, to God, we will become united!
This being said, I advocate the collapse of the Capitalist system and the foundation of the United Socialist Federal Republic, in which
the government will exist to serve the people.
Capitalism is Dead. We must put
it out of it's misery and move on toward Socialism.

Don't forget how deregulated their industries are, how toxic their water supply is, how they can force any citizen to move at any time, how polluted their air is, how unhealthy their people are, and how rampant corruption is in their government. their economic numbers may be large, but it seems to me that they correlate, in a way, with their military. staggering numbers with very little quality and training. quantity over quality, thats their motto.
I know Wikipedia is not the most realible of sources for definitions, but it was the first hit and summed up what I see happening to our country very nicely.
Fascism (pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.[5][6] Fascism was originally founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined extreme Sorelian syndicalist political views along with nationalism.[7][8][9] Though normally described as being on the far right, there is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both the left and the right.[10][11][12][7][13]
Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[14] They claim that culture is created by the collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus they reject individualism.[14] Viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they see pluralism as a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.[15][16]
They advocate the creation of a single-party state.[17] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the fascist state and the fascist movement.[18] They identify violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.[19]
Fascism rejects the concepts of egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favor of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit, and will.[20] They oppose liberalism (as a bourgeois movement) and Marxism (as a proletarian movement) for being exclusive economic class-based movements.[21] Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes ending economic class conflict to secure national solidarity.[22] They believe that economic classes are not capable of properly governing a nation, and that a merit-based elite of experienced military persons must rule through regimenting a nation's forces of production and securing the nation's independence.[23] Fascism perceives conservatism as partly valuable for its support of order in society but disagrees with its typical opposition to change and modernization.[24] Fascism presents itself as a solution to the perceived benefits and disadvantages of conservatism by advocating state-controlled modernization that promotes orderly change while resisting the dangers to order in society of pluralism and independent initiative.[24]"
We do not have a government that exist for the benefit of it's citizens. We have one party masqerading as two that do the bidding of a Ruling Corporate Elite. With the Supreme Court ruling for "Citizens United" that Cabal now has the 'personhood". They can spend more money on elections than any individual or group and don't have to report how that money is spent. If this seems like hyperbole, I suggest you read this to understand that if very nearly happened in the 1930's, and the Bush family and there financial monster USB were at the center of it.
This is not conspiracy BS. This is documented in our own congressional record and the story was researced and backed up by British Public Radio.
Obama is just a kinder, gentler face for the same agenda. It makes it palatible for the liberals for a few years, then destroys anything that may be progress in the next campaign of fear and war mongering. Nazism has elements of Socialism in order to create a citizenry that operates for the benefit of the Nazi/Corporate elite. It uses all of the fear and hate tactics of Hitler's Third Reich so it embraces the racism and bigotry of conservatism.
If we are a socialist nation, it is corporate socialism that is the strongest element of what we get when it is all said and done.
isn't corporate socialism just corporatism? I agree, and while I (only feel) think that Obama isn't intentionally part of that system, I wouldn't disagree with saying that he is. How is a two party system that much better than a One party system? now that those two parties are institutionalized, it really is just a one party system.
~thanks for sharing that wiki entry, I like that nearly half of those qualities mentioned above are tactics that have been used over the last ten years to rally americans behind the governments cause.~
here we go..
as you read through that, consider these things we have been told.
"we need to stand together as Americans"(nationalism)
" the wars are a necessity for freedom"(afghanistan and IRAQ)
"if you don't agree, you are being un-american and unpatriotic" (attacks on dissent)
" mr. beck's and fox news attacks on progressivism and liberalism (anti-egalitarianism) and attack/ignore any class based argument for equality"
" again, we are all americans and the homeland is the most important thing (rejection of classes, unifying ALL americans under one label)"
Like I said, just about half. I don't know if I would go as far as to say we are a fascist government, but it is interesting the similarities between the two.
Please take time to read the piece on the Bush Family legacy of the attempted fascist coup. The Ford family and GE were two of the biggest cash contributors. When US troops arrived in Berlin at the end of WWII, they were able to repair their trucks from parts from many German military vehicles. They were both running Ford engines. The the finacial and very secret side of the Bush Cabal, USB run by the Walker family, as in Geo. Herbert Walker Bush had their US assets froven for two yrs during WWII because they wouldn't stop moving money for the Third Reich. This is not something frivolous. They have been planning this for generations. Pappy Bush remains a power behind the CIA as well as the most frequent Chairman of the Board of the Carlisle Group, the military investment fund that can only be joined by invitiation and controls some of our largest military suppliers. Cheney has spent several careers as SecDef, State Department and VP securing the channels of military procurment so there have been more contractors than US troops in Iraq since it began and Haliburton, KRB and their subsideraries have swindled many, many billions from US and the Iraqi people. It makes it easier to see how we have reached this point where its hard to call us anything else but a Fascist nation.

Hundreds in Tosa without power
About 790 We Energies customers remained without power Tuesday afternoon, with crews working to restore power for nearly all of them by 11 p.m. Wednesday, We Energies spokesman Barry McNulty said.
"We're throwing everything we can toward it," McNulty said.
With 27,000 customers still without power in its coverage area, which includes Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, McNulty said the company is drawing on resources from other utilities to work more quickly.
Wind speeds of about 70 miles per hour snapped countless trees and limbs last night, bringing down power lines and leaving 120,000 We Energies customers without power. As the utility works to restore power, McNulty said they are still getting some calls about new outages, as weakened tree branches settle and give out.
McNulty warned residents to leave downed wires where they are and stay at least 25 feet away from them. If you think a wire is dangerous, call (800) 662-4797 to report it.

Wauwatosa Village valet service tentatively halted on Sundays
Valet service in the Wauwatosa Village has been discontinued on Sundays — at least for now, said John Wise, director of operations for Bartolotta Restaurants.
The $7 per car service first launched in June outside Ristorante Bartolotta and anyone visiting the Village after 5 p.m. can hand off their car to a valet at the corner of State Street and Harwood Avenue.
Wise said the service was discontinued on Sundays due to lack of popularity, but could easily be put in place again, if needed.
Wise said the service's peak could likely be when temperatures start to drop.

Wauwatosa East girls cross-country coach Glen Gardiner is hoping all the hard work spent in the off-season will pay off for this season's team.
Captains Kayla Klein, Janet Fee and Jordyn Summerfield are three of the six returnees, along with juniors Kacy Fisher and Julia Bartlett and sophomore Sydney Evans.
Fisher had an outstanding track season, being named MVP, and will be looking to improve on that with a great summer training regimen. She was a first-year cross-country runner a year ago earning a varsity letter.
"She will be one of our top returners this year," Gardiner said. "Looking for her to have a breakout year."
Summerfield, a junior, was part of a team that qualified for state in 2013 and was a third-team All-GMC last year.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa West returnees should help girls cross-country team
With some returning "new" faces, coach Jack LoPresti is looking forward to the girls cross-country season.
"This year's team will be an exciting team to watch," LoPresti said. "We have strong senior leadership and a solid group of returning runners."
Two "new" old faces will be back and ready to go this year. Senior Anna Roghan will lead this year's squad, along with returning runner senior Caitlin Campbell.
Roghan was injured almost all of last cross-country season, and Campbell was not out last Fall, so having both of these runners back and in good health is a huge win for the Trojans.
Add to that the returning core of Sophia Ruggeri (last season's MVP), Toriah Haanstad and Eliza Soczka — all sophomores — and West will have a solid group to start the season.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa East tennis team has nine returning players
The Wauwatosa East girls tennis team has nine returning letter winners, but coach Glen Slonac is still working on different lineup combinations.
The following players are returning letter winners from last year: seniors Nina Novic, Seble Yigletu, Natalie Klein and Anna Jorejs; juniors Hannah Green and Alyssa Poe; and sophomores Kat Terwelp, Erin O'Brien and Allison Gleesing.
Slonac thinks the following players will be in the mix for a varsity spot: seniors Maria Villa and Leah Pulz; sophomore Maggie Collins; and freshman Mary McMahon.
"I am still working on trying to position people on the team, and I am not sure who are playing certain positions," the veteran coach said. "So far this season, I have been pleased with Allison Gleesing's improvement over last year and freshman Mary McMahon, who has shown steady improvement."
Individual results from the eight-team Racine Case Invitational follow.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa West girls volleyball team has holes to fill
Wauwatosa West girls volleyball coach Kelly Dwyer will have some holes to fill this season.
"We will be a young team, with only three players returning with experience of playing consistently on the varsity level," he said. "We have to replace two outside hitters, one middle, two setters and a libero that we lost to graduation last year.
The returning players are seniors Natalya Summers (four-year varsity player), Bri Horton, Amanda O'Rourke and Ashley Vulgaris; juniors Clare Honan (all-conference honorable mention, three-year starter) and Anna Baish; and sophomore Ericha Stuberg.
Newcomers will be senior Maddy Clausen, junior Ellen Schaefer and sophomores Emily Wagy, Emma Elliott, Hailey Wilson, Kelly Rampolla and Margaret Radske.
Honan will be the focal point of the offense.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa girls golf team fourth at first GMC mini-meet
Wauwatosa East/West finished fourth in the first Greater Metro Conference mini-meet on Aug. 20 at Currie Park.
Brookfield Central won (169), followed by Divine Savior Holy Angels (182), Brookfield East (200) and Tosa (203). Sussex Hamilton and Menomonee Falls each shot a 209.
Katie Gastrau and Brenna Blaney led the way, shooting a 42 and 47, respectively. Alex Ramos had a 55, and Maegan O'Donnell shot a 59 as only four golfers took part.
"On the surface, a so-so performance, but considering we played short handed, it was better than it would appear," coach John Ravenola said. "Our conference meets allow each team to play as many as six girls and count the four best. Brook Central, Falls and Hamilton all played six; Brook East and DSHA played five, while we were only able to field the minimum of four girls.
"With our overall number of girls coming out for golf this season being down considerably, it puts us at a disadvantage. If someone has an 'off' day, we still have to include it in our team score. Even so, we managed to shoot 203, which was just three shots behind the third-place score posted by Brook East."» Read Full Article
Potter to lead Wauwatosa East boys cross-country team
The Wauwatosa East boys cross-country team will be looking to return to state again this season, and coach Mackenzie Laska has some talent returning to make that possible.
Senior Sam Potter, the 2014 Greater Metro Conference 5,000-meter champion, the team MVP and a Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association All-State Honorable Mention leads the returnees. He finished 24th at state and was a 2015 1,600 state qualifier in the spring.
Seniors Marquez Green, Nathan Green and Paul Gagne also return from last year's 14th-place team at state.
"We also have a promising freshmen and sophomore class which bodes well for the future," Laska said. "... With four returning from last year's state qualifying team and a slew of guys ready to step up and fill in the gaps, the expectation is to qualify for state and improve on our 14th-place finish from last year."
The boys open Thursday, Aug. 27, at Rotary Park in Menomonee Falls.

Suspected pipe bomb draws neighborhood attention in Wauwatosa
Aaron Lloyd, a server at The Red Dot restaurant in Wauwatosa, had just clocked in for a 10 a.m. shift when he noticed police tape encircling the street outside.
"We were told (by police) to stay inside the building," Lloyd said. "People were taking video, pictures. Everyone was out there recording."
The source of concern? A suspected pipe bomb at Speedway gas station, 6804 W. North Ave.
Unsettling discovery
Wauwatosa Police Lt. Brian Zalewski said that police were dispatched at 9:08 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, when someone spotted the pipe — 3 inches inches in diameter and 1 foot long with metal caps screwed to either end — on the ground by one of the gas pumps and reported it to the store manager.» Read Full Article
Carey, defense spark New Berlin Eisenhower win
New Berlin Eisenhower used a 17-point third quarter to roll to a 31-7 victory at Plymouth on Friday, Aug. 21, and get the 2015 football season off to a positive start.
The Lions will now host Mauston at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28, in their second nonconference game. Mauston lost, 26-20, to Tomah on Friday, Aug. 21.
"We knew Plymouth had a great program (8-2 last year), and we would have to be on our game to beat them at their place," Eisenhower coach Matt Kern said. "All off-season, we have been trying to get the guys to believe they are the ones to get our football program back where it belongs.
"We needed to get a statement win — internally for ourselves — and we stepped up. That was pretty rewarding. It was a lot of fun."
Sam Carey had a big day for the Lions in the opener, tossing a 15-yard touchdown pass and running for a score. He was 8-for-14 for 90 yards with an interception, and he rushed for 64 yards.» Read Full Article

I ****in' love this thread
I ****in' love this thread
Prov 3:6: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
if the Pats don't re-sign Welker and his $9.5 million contract they will have a great chance to
get whichever free agent WR they target.
If you were Mike Wallace and both Miami and the Pats offered you the same amount of money which team would you want to
play for...try to be honest/realistic
I think Hartline has to be paid by Miami. You could draft the best WR in the draft and it would still take him 2 years to be as good as Hartline is now.
Being that skill is the sum of talent+experience, Hartline's experience makes him pretty necessary for this team and for 5 million a year you'd have a pretty monster hole to fill and it would cost you more money down the line. 2013 has to be a playoff push for Miami. There's too many older players on this roster that will start declining in 2014 so their window is closing. Now way can you be inexperienced at the WR position, even with Jennings. I mean, you can't have just 1 #1 WR and then a dropoff into oblivion. That's what 2012 was about. Even if we drafted the best WRs in the draft it just takes awhile for rookie WRs to get good.
I had Justin Blackmon on my FFB team and I wound up cutting him in week 6 because he just wasn't making plays. Then in week 10 he came alive and started kickin' butt. Miami can't wait until week 10 for players to start making plays unless they have a least a couple legit guys to make plays in week 1.
For 2 million dollars, it would be a crime to throw away a season because you didn't resign your best, experienced WR that RT has great chemistry with. The chemistry factor alone is worth 2 million bucks a year, and I think Hartline's talent vs the market is worth 3 mil. Talent + experience = skill. Hartline has the skill we need for 2013 at 6 million a year on the high end and maybe less.
7 Mil? Uh..NO.

Tuesday, March 18, 2014 — The city of Susanville no longer has a treasurer. The city council passed an ordinance eliminating the position by a 3-2 vote at its Wednesday, March 5 meeting.
Mayor Rod De Boer and councilmembers Cheryl McDonald and Lino Callegari vote to approve the ordinance after waiving its second reading, while councilmembers Brian Wilson and Nicholas McBride voted no.
City Treasurer Richard Stovall, whose position, according to the ordinance, will be abolished June 30, 2014 or at the end of the current term, whichever is sooner, said should the council approve the ordinance, he would present the matter to the grand jury for an investigation. He added the city had already missed the deadline to have the position appear on the June Primary Election ballot.
Stovall said according to the election code the position can only be abolished by a vote of the people.
But Peter Talia, city attorney, said the position is no longer needed because the responsibilities have been transferred to the professional staff in the city's finance division.
He said Stovall's position would be correct if the city attempted to change the position from an elected one to one that was appointed, but that's not the action the city is taking.
According to the staff report, the city treasurer's sole remaining duty is that of an inventory clerk.
"The city treasurer no long serves a critical role for the city," according to the staff report. It cites government code section 51506 as the council's authority to abolish the position.
Eliminating the position will save the city $275 per month and the election costs.
Todd Eid, the manager of a local supermarket, said keeping track of inventory is very important in his industry because of the checks and balances it provides. He asked if those checks and balances would remain in place if the council eliminated the city treasurer position.
City administrator Jared Hancock said this wouldn't be a problem because the city had "internal controls in place."
Talia assured the council it was "on solid ground."
Other business
In closed session the council discussed significant exposure to litigation regarding six potential claims.
Hancock said the council gave direction to staff but took no reportable action.
The council unanimously approved its consent agenda that included approval of warrants for a total of $374,344.26, including $97,004.52 in payroll; approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a loan agreement for the Phantom Jet F-4C on display at the Susanville Municipal Airport for the 2014 year; approved a resolution authorizing the annual certification of the UH-1 Huey Helicopter and AH-1 Cobra Helicopter at the Susanville Municipal Airport; approved a resolution authorizing the annual certification of the GPF M1917/18 Series Gun at Memorial Park; and approved a resolution updating the City Council committee list.
The council also approved a motion to waive the fees for the 25th annual Fishing Derby at Memorial Park, to make a donation to the Susanville Sportsman Club to help pay for the fish planted in the Susan River and to cosponsor the event.
The council also adopted a mid-year budget revision that showed $434,000 in surplus funds in the general fund budget due to one-time monies. Without these revenues, the city budget would face a $100,000 deficit.
City staff recommended transferring an additional $20,000 to the Susanville Enforcement Team due to the recent increase in crime; funding several community facilities improvements (skate park at Memorial Park, design acquisition and construction of a neighborhood park in the Skyline area, cleanup of the Sierra Park site, sidewalk projects and street rehabilitation); and debt reduction payoffs for the golf course, City Hall and the PERS Side Fund.
According to the mid-year budget, the city's adopted budget revenues are expected to be $16.2 million, expenses are $16.3 million for a deficit of $61,166. The city had an audited fund balance of $14 million on June 30, 2013 and a projected fund balance on June 30, 2014 of $14 million.

Oude stad Hoi An
De oude stad Hoi An is een bijzonder voorbeeld van een traditionele handelshaven in Zuidoost-Azië die volledig en uitzonderlijk goed bewaard is gebleven. Het merendeel van de gebouwen is gebouwd in de traditionele 19e en 20e-eeuwse bouwstijl. Zowel de gebouwen als het stratenplan weerspiegelen inheemse en buitenlandse invloeden. De stad kent veel religieuze gebouwen zoals pagodes, tempels en vergaderhuizen, ontstaan door toedoen van de havengemeenschap in Hoi An. De traditionele levensstijl, godsdienst en (culturele) gewoonten zijn bewaard gebleven en veel festivals vinden nog steeds jaarlijks plaats.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Hoi An Ancient town is located in Viet Nam's central Quang Nam Province, on the north bank near the mouth of the Thu Bon River. The inscribed property comprises 30 ha and it has a buffer zone of 280 ha. It is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a small-scale trading port active the 15th to 19th centuries which traded widely, both with the countries of Southeast and East Asia and with the rest of the world. Its decline in the later 19th century ensured that it has retained its traditional urban tissue to a remarkable degree.
The town reflects a fusion of indigenous and foreign cultures (principally Chinese and Japanese with later European influences) that combined to produce this unique survival.
The town comprises a well-preserved complex of 1,107 timber frame buildings, with brick or wooden walls, which include architectural monuments, commercial and domestic vernacular structures, notably an open market and a ferry quay, and religious buildings such as pagodas and family cult houses. The houses are tiled and the wooden components are carved with traditional motifs. They are arranged side-by-side in tight, unbroken rows along narrow pedestrian streets. There is also the fine wooden Japanese bridge, with a pagoda on it, dating from the 18th century. The original street plan, which developed as the town became a port, remains. It comprises a grid of streets with one axis parallel to the river and the other axis of streets and alleys set at right angles to it. Typically, the buildings front the streets for convenient customer access while the backs of the buildings open to the river allowing easy loading and off-loading of goods from boats.
The surviving wooden structures and street plan are original and intact and together present a traditional townscape of the 17th and 18th centuries, the survival of which is unique in the region. The town continues to this day to be occupied and function as a trading port and centre of commerce. The living heritage reflecting the diverse communities of the indigenous inhabitants of the town, as well as foreigners, has also been preserved and continues to be passed on. Hoi An Ancient Town remains an exceptionally well-preserved example of a Far Eastern port.
Criterion (ii): Hoi An is an outstanding material manifestation of the fusion of cultures over time in an international commercial port.
Criterion (v): Hoi An is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian trading port.
Hoi An Ancient Town has retained its original form and function as an outstanding example of a well-preserved traditional South East Asian trading port and commercial centre. It remains complete as a homogenous complex of traditional wooden buildings, with the original organically developed street plan, within the town's original river/seacoast setting.
These original cultural and historic features demonstrate the town's outstanding universal value and are present, well-preserved, and evident within the boundary of the inscribed property, even while it continues to be occupied and function as a trading port, as well as a popular tourism destination. As a result of this economic stagnation since the 19th century, it has not suffered from development and there has not been pressure to replace the older wooden buildings with new ones in modern materials. This has ensured that the town has retained its traditional urban tissue and is preserved in a remarkably intact state.
Hoi An Ancient Town has retained its traditional wooden architecture and townscape in terms of plot size, materials, façade and roof line. Its original street plan, with buildings backing on to the river, with its infrastructure of quays, canals and bridges in its original setting, also remains. The historic landscape setting is also intact, consisting of a coastal environment of river, seashore, dunes and islands.
Because most of the buildings were constructed in wood it is necessary for them to be repaired at intervals, and so many buildings with basic structures from the 17th and 18th centuries were renewed in the 19th century, using traditional methods of repair. There is currently no pressure to replace older buildings with new ones in modern materials such as concrete and corrugated iron.
Protection and management requirements
Hoi An Ancient Town was classified as a National Cultural Heritage Site in 1985 and subsequently as a Special National Cultural Heritage Site under the Cultural Heritage Law of 2001 amended in 2009. The entire town is State property and is effectively protected by a number of relevant national laws and governmental decisions, such as: the Cultural Heritage Law (2001, amended 2009) and the Tourism Law (2005). The 1997 Hoi An Town Statute defines in regulations that are implemented by the Hoi An Center for Monuments Management and Preservation, the responsible agency of the People's Committee for the management of the property. Day-to-day management involves collaboration with various stakeholders, to maintain the authenticity and integrity of the property and to monitor socio-economic activities within and adjacent to the property. The capacity of the professional staff has been and continues to be developed by many domestic and international training courses. Revenue from entrance tickets is invested directly in the management, preservation and promotion of the property. Management and preservation are further strengthened through master planning and action plans at the local level. There are also regular restoration and conservation programmes.
Multi-disciplinary research conducted by teams of international and national scholars has informed the conservation and interpretation of the town's heritage. This research is on-going. Within the property boundary, the landscape, the townscape, the architecture and all material cultural artifacts are preserved.
A Management Plan was implemented at the time of nomination of the property, and is being kept up to date and reviewed as required by UNESCO to ensure that it remains effective.
The buffer zone is managed to protect the property from external threats. The potential adverse effects to the property caused by annual flooding and urbanization are being effectively controlled with the active participation of all authorities and the local community.
The Master Plan for the Hoi An Ancient town conservation, restoration and promotion together with the city and tourism development was approved by Prime Minister on 12 January 2012, covered the period until 2025.
Long-term management should aim to promote improvement in the living conditions for local residents. As tourism increases a strategy to manage it within the parameters of the site will be required. Strategies to deal with adverse effects of the climate are being developed and should be included in the Management Plan.
In the future, it is an aim to link the Hoi An Ancient Town with the adjacent UNESCO Cu Lao Cham Biosphere Reserve and to build Hoi An into a community integrating ecology, culture and tourism.
Long Description
Hoi An, an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian trading port, is an outstanding material manifestation of the fusion of cultures over time in an international maritime commercial centre.
The town is a special example of a traditional trading port in South-East Asia which has been completely and assiduously preserved: it is the only town in Viet Nam that has survived intact in this way. Most of the buildings are in the traditional architectural style of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are aligned along narrow lanes of traditional type. They include many religious buildings, such as pagodas, temples, meeting houses, etc., which relate to the development of a port community. The traditional lifestyle, religion, customs and cooking have been preserved and many festivals still take place annually.
Archaeological finds and excavations have shown that there was a port and trading centre of the local Sa Huynh people along the Thu Bon River as early as the 2nd century BC. This continued to expand, especially during its most flourishing period from the late 16th to the early 18th centuries. It was through Hoi An that Christianity penetrated Vietnam in the 17th century.
By the end of the century, the rise of other ports on the coast of Vietnam, in particular Da Nang, and silting of its harbour, led to the final eclipse of Hoi An. As a result of this economic stagnation, it has preserved its early appearance in a remarkably intact state, the only town in the country to have done so. The ancient town is situated on the north bank of Thu Bon River. There is a street running east-west along the river's edge and three further streets parallel to the river. They are intersected at right angles by streets and alleys. Within this area there are houses (often combined with shops), religious monuments such as pagodas, temples, communal houses and family cult houses, a ferry quay and an open market.
The architecture of Hoi An, which is almost entirely of wood, is of considerable interest. It combines traditional Vietnamese designs and techniques with those from other countries, above all China and Japan, whose citizens settled there to trade and built houses and community centres to their own designs.
The typical house conforms to a corridor plan, the following elements occurring in sequence: house, yard and house. The buildings are:
- family cult houses, dedicated to the worship of ancestors;
- the community houses, used for worship of ancient sages, founders of settlements, or the legendary founders of crafts;
- the pagodas are almost all from the 19th century, although inscriptions show them to have been founded in the 17th and 18th centuries. They conform to a square layout and decoration is largely confined to the elaborate roofs. In the case of the larger examples, they constituted nuclei of associated buildings with religious and secular functions. Some of the larger pagodas also served as meeting halls. These are located along the main street (Tran Phu).
There is a fine wooden bridge, reminiscent of Japanese examples, with a pagoda on it. It has existed from at least the early 18th century, as an inscription indicates, but it has been reconstructed many times. There is also a number of ancient tombs in Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese style within the buffer zone.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
Archaeological finds and excavations have shown that there was a port and trading centre of the local Sa Huynh people along the Thu Bon river as early as the 2nd century BC. This continued to expand, and by the 15th century Hoi An (known in Vietnam and abroad under various names - Fayfo, Haifo, Kaifo, Faifoo, Faicfo, Hoai Pho) was already the most important port of the powerful Champa Kingdom. It continued after the Vietnamese absorption of the Champa Kingdom in the same capacity, becoming one of the most important centres of mercantile, and hence cultural, exchange in South-East Asia, attracting ships and traders from elsewhere in Asia and from Europe, especially during its most flourishing period from the late 16th century to the early 18th century. It was through Hoi An that Christianity penetrated Vietnam in the 17th century.
It retained its role as the main port of the central region throughout the 19th century, when the Nguyen dynasty kings operated a "closed trade policy." By the end of the century, the rise of other ports on the coast of Vietnam, in particular Da Nang, and silting of its harbour, led to the final eclipse of Hoi An. As a result of this economic stagnation, it has preserved its early appearance in a remarkably intact state.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

Sebastien Buemi admits it is "terrible" to watch on from the sidelines as he gears up for another season as a test driver....
Sebastien Buemi admits it is "terrible" to watch on from the sidelines as he gears up for another season as a test driver.
Having raced for Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso for three seasons, Buemi was given the boot at the end of 2011.
Left without a race-seat, the 24-year-old signed on with Red Bull as their test driver. However, it's a role that is at times hard to bear.
"It's terrible," Buemi told Russia's F1 News. "Real torture!
"Certainly for a driver there is nothing worse than not being out track."
Pressed as to why he had then opted to re-sign as Red Bull's test driver, Buemi said: "Given the circumstances, it is the best option.
"I did not have the opportunity to sign a contract with a competitive team, so I decided to stay at the team that had just won another title.
"Working for Red Bull Racing is only a plus for my career."
The Swiss driver is hoping to continue his relationship with Red Bull into the future but concedes there is a long queue of drivers hoping to replace Mark Webber should he retire at the end of this season.
"Nothing can be ruled out. The situation in Formula 1 changes rapidly.
"Even if at the end of the year Mark Webber finishes his career it is clear that there are a lot of applicants to fill his place."

Caterham at least got one up on McLaren and Sauber as one of their drivers, Kamui Kobayashi, actually saw the finish line...
Kamui Kobayashi: " had an ok start but had an issue on lap one with a setting that gives us full boost and energy release - we sorted that out quickly and I passed Marcus for 18th, then went after Bianchi who I caught and passed on lap 10. My race pace was good in the first stint and the tyre deg was what we'd expected so we stuck to the strategy and boxed for the first time on lap 15 for another set of options. I came out behind Marcus and Chilton but got in front of them both and went after Maldonado in 16th but with the performance level of the car now I wasn't able to catch him. We were on a two stop strategy so we came in for the mediums on lap 35. I was fighting with Gutierrez but let him go as he was on a different strategy and there wasn't any point ruining that set of tyres just to race him, but then the safety car came out and I was able to make up the lap and was up with Maldonado and Grosjean just as the safety car came in. After the restart I had to save fuel so couldn't keep pace with the pack and that was pretty much the end of my race. Finishing 15th isn't great but we really couldn't do any more today. We'll have to regroup for China and with a few updates we have for that race we'll aim to make progress there."
Marcus Ericsson: "My start was good and I was up to 17th by the end of lap three, fighting with Grosjean and then went after Bianchi. The car balance really didn't feel great and Kamui had better pace than me in the first few laps plus my tyre deg wasn't great so we made our first stop on lap 11 at the same time as Chilton - the guys did a good job and I came back out still ahead of him at the start of the second stint. The car still didn't feel great on the second set of tyres and I couldn't hold back the Marussia or Kamui who was on a different strategy to me. I kept pushing up to the second stop on lap 26 when we went onto the third set of options and came out ahead of the Marussia again but then after a few more laps I lost power and was told to stop the car because we had an oil leak. It's obviously disappointing not to be able to finish the race, especially as the car was feeling much better as the fuel level dropped. Still, for me it's another part of the learning process and with every lap I'm racing my education continues. Now we have a couple more days of testing in Bahrain and then it's off to China for another new track for me. We'll have some new parts there so we'll work on optimising them with setup and come back fighting in Shanghai."
Jenson Button: "In terms of pace, we took a step forward this weekend. Moreover, our degradation was positive and I think we did a very good job understanding our tyres. Only one team were demonstrably quicker than us today - Mercedes - but sadly they were a lot quicker than us. Having said that, our long-run pace was very good, especially over the last few laps, so I reckon we could have raced very hard to the finish on the Primes. But unfortunately I didn't get that opportunity. It's tough for all the team, because they all worked really well and really hard. We were set for fifth place at worst and a podium finish at best, and that would have been a very positive outcome for all of us. In summary, then, there was lots of good racing out there - I can't even remember how many cars I overtook but it was quite a lot - and I think it was the same for almost everyone out there. I really enjoyed it, in fact. Formula 1 may have new power units and technical regs this year, but it's clearly every bit as good as it ever was in terms of on-track spectacle."
Kevin Magnussen: "That wasn't a great race for me. The start wasn't ideal - I lost three positions - and after that we just didn't have enough pace to make progress towards the front. We'd been expecting that the colder conditions might help us, but, as things panned out, we were actually a little less strong here than we were in Malaysia, for some reason. We'll analyse that carefully, and I'm sure we'll learn from it. We're learning all the time, in fact. It's disappointing that we didn't score points today - two DNFs is never pleasant for any team - but we'll approach the Chinese Grand Prix with the aim of doing quite a bit better than we did here in Bahrain."
Esteban Gutierrez: "First of all, the most important is that I am ok. They did all the checks at the hospital and everything is fine. Concerning the accident, I was completely surprised that Pastor (Maldonado), who came out of the pits, ran into me. I was clearly in front of him. I turned into the corner and I was suddenly hit and I rolled over. There was nothing much I could do."
Adrian Sutil: "My race was over quite early. Jules (Bianchi) braked too late and went into my car in the hairpin. I was not able to do anything to prevent it, and my car was damaged. He was driving aggressively or the whole race and pushed me off at the start. With his move he destroyed mine as well as his own race. It was unneccesary. In general, the weekend was difficult for us. However, I wanted to finish the race to cover more kilometres and also to gain experience with the car. The next race in China will come soon, so it can only be better."
