Featured ATX Food Blog: Sweet Tidbits
We're always blown away by the creative way folks in this town write about food. Mary, from Sweet Tidbits, is one of those people. Not only does she give us unique and delicious recipes, she interviews fascinating folks in Austin and takes beautiful photos of all of the above.
Her blog is definitely something worth checking out. Take a minute to get to know Mary and then head on over to Sweet Tidbits!
How did you discover your love of food and writing?
As a kid, I moved around a lot so I found myself alone at times. I used writing as an outlet to write poems, songs and just get my thoughts out on paper. Cooking was a big deal in my life, so I put the two together and started Sweet Tidbits
Has blogging changed the way you view food and cooking? If so, how?
It's helped me break down the cooking process in my head. On my blog, I try to showcase the entire process from beginning to end. I cut and put all the ingredients out on the cutting board, I wash my hands and take pictures. I consider the lighting, angles and colors. There's a lot that goes into preparing a meal in the kitchen nowadays including food styling. It's a whole production for me. I ask myself "Is this picture going to make any readers want to eat this?"
What is your favorite ingredient to use in the kitchen?
Do I just have to pick one? Okay, lemons. I love lemons. I squeeze them on my fish, I make lemonade with them, and I use them in almost all my salads.
What is your best memory in the kitchen?
When I first cooked chicken. I washed it, put salt, pepper, butter and sour cream on it, stuffed a bunch of garlic all over and put an onion in the middle. It came out so good! Ever since then, I haven't been able to marinate it any other way.
What is the best thing about your kitchen?
My island! I keep it clean and organized so when I'm ready to cook I can lay al my stuff out and start. It's my little organized space away from the rest of the kitchen.
What is your favorite meal to prepare?
Are you really going to make me choose?! I would have to say anything with pasta. I have a pasta bake that I make that everyone is always satisfied with. It's not on the blog yet, but you'll have to check back later to get the recipe!
What does your dream kitchen look like?
I think a great meal could be made anywhere and you don't need a dream kitchen to cook and share the love but my preference would be open, organized and lots of natural light.
Favorite recipe to date?
My mozzarella, tomato and black olive pasta
What three recipes would you share with our readers?
Spice Feta and Pita Chip Salad
California's Prop 37
What it is
California's "Right to Know" bill (Proposition 37) is on the state's November 6 ballot. According to Ballotpedia (a crowd-sourced encyclopedia for politics), if approved, Prop 37 would:
- "Require labeling on raw or processed food offered for sale to consumers if the food is made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
- Prohibit labeling or advertising such food as 'natural.'
- Exempt from this requirement foods that are 'certified organic; unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages.'"
What people think
Primary arguments in support of the bill focus on bringing awareness to GMOs in general, promoting more ingredient exposure rather than less, and the fact that over 40 countries in the world already require food with genetically-modified ingredients to be labeled.
Primary arguments against the bill include the claim that GMO labeling will increase food costs, provoke new lawsuits and legal costs, and misportray GMOs as a necessarily unhealthy choice.
Why we're telling you!
As a food retailer selling local food with pure, non-genetically-modified ingredients, we think it's important for you to be aware of Prop 37 since it treads on some of the core ethos we promote to our customers: eat real food. The "realness" of food is clearly in question right now, and we hope that everyone in the community – from farmers to food scientists, consumers to corporations – will participate in and contribute to discussions on the matter to grow our food industry.

No More Label Stress
At in.gredients, you don't have to stress over product labels. We make finding healthy food with pure ingredients easy for our customers by, well, only selling healthy food with pure ingredients.
While many stores sell healthy food with "real" ingredients, few will carry only real foods. It's common to have to constantly read product labels to make sure you're buying something without artificial fillers or color dyes, since real foods are mixed with other products that wouldn't fit the same bill.
We want to make it easy for you to shop at our store – easy to make good decisions. So we've weeded out what's not "real" (for our definition of that, read here). Having a small store helps a lot with that. Don't worry, we'll still have product labels – but you won't have to read them to learn what chemicals you're eating.

Recipe: Awesome Waffles
by Brian Nunnery
I call these "Awess Waffs" – but called them "Awesome Waffles" in the title to not sound too silly.
Yields: 4-5 large, thick waffles
1.75 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
3 eggs
1.75 cups milk
0.5 cups canola oil
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1. Turn your waffle iron on and heat your oven to 200F. When you're making the waffles, you'll place done waffles on a baking sheet inside the oven to keep 'em warm until serving.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just until they're completely combined. At this point you're ready to pour the batter into your waffle maker and make waffles!
Goes best with: pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon-based granola
Recipe: Homemade Chocolate Syrup
With only five ingredients, there's just no reason to go out and buy chocolate syrup. Amazingly easy to make, you can have it on ice cream, drizzle over fresh fruit, or swirl a teaspoon or two in milk for a chocolaty drink! Totally easy to store in a reusable container, and keeps well in the fridge too.

Recipe: Chicken Salad with Persimmon, Pecans, and Thyme
Here's an interesting (and timely) seasonal twist on a classic favorite: a chicken salad recipe from Healthy Green Kitchen that calls for persimmons and pecans. The beauty of this recipe: if you live in Central Texas, you can get all the "fixins" for this salad locally, because as y'all know, 'tis the season for persimmons and pecans! What's more, it's a great way to use leftover roast chicken or turkey!

Recipe: Spinach Pancakes!
We're always on the look out for cool recipes. This one caught our eye because…well, they're green pancakes! Spabettie tells readers how to make Spinach Pancakes with just four ingredients: spinach leaves, chia, water, and rice flour. Try 'em for breakfast with eggs, or with lunch with hummus or a garlic spread! Recipe here.

EAST SHORE -- John Ziznewski has picked up where he left off.
The St. Peter's High School graduate was a 2011 JUCO (junior college) All-American last spring and, after eight games this season he's headed for a second straight honor.
Rockland Community College, a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association, is 4-4 as of Monday through no fault of Ziznewski, a sophomore.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder from South Beach is hitting .533 with 16 hits in 30 at bats, with three doubles, eight runs scored and six runs batted in (RBI).
Teammates Nick Thorgesen, a freshman, and sophomore Joseph Fiori, both Monsignor Farrell graduates, and soph James Andersen (Moore Catholic) are also on the Rockland roster.
Fiori is 2-0 in nine innings as a pitcher, He has struck out 11 and allowed five hits with an ERA of 1.86.
The Mount St. Mary's College softball team, has been shut out five times during its 1-7 Florida tournament trip, but Richmond resident Ashley Schirripa has done her part.
Schirripa, a Fontebonne Hall of Brooklyn graduate, transferred from Ramapo College, and has made an immediate impact at the Newburgh, N.Y., Division III school. The junior right-handed hitting outfielder sports a .435 average with a pair of doubles and an RBI.
Sophomore teammate Amanda Barrese (St. Joseph by-the-Sea) is 0-4 with a 4.00 ERA in 28 innings but has been the victim of a lack of run support.
Senior Rosebank resident Emily Palmieri (St. John Villa) and her St. Joseph's College of Brooklyn teammates, including senior Alyson Chiarmonte (Moore Catholic) have started slowly in their first year as an official Division III school.
St. Joseph's is 0-6 after playing in the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic in Cape Coral, Florida.

It's not always easy to keep one's dainty finger on the throbbing pulse of Syracuse theater. However, it does help when you've got a friend in one of the shows. This week, I was able to get a quick glimpse behind the scenes of Appleseed's holiday show, Sorry, Wrong Chimney! by chatting with local actress, House Lights contributor, celebrity cake decorator, and all-around quality gal, Miss Erin Race.
Angela: I've never head of this show. Tell me about it.
Erin: Yeah, it's definitely not Shakespeare. Sorry, Wrong Chimney! is described as a yuletide farce. The action takes place one night sometime before Christmas. David has been working nights as a mall Santa, conspiring with neighbor Natalie to keep a special gift for his wife Samantha a secret. With all the whispering, Samantha suspects an affair between the two and seeks comfort from Bill, Natalie's husband. Throw in a burglar who dresses like Santa Claus, mistaken identities, and misplaced hypnotisms and you got yourself a show. It's been a lot of fun in rehearsals.
Angela: Misplaced hypnotisms? I'm intrigued. Do you get to be misplacedly hypnotized in this show? And if not, what kind of fun stuff do you get to do? You once mentioned running around a couch in heels, I believe...
Erin: I don't get hypnotized, but my boyfriend the Santa Claus burglar does. There are a couple of scenes with running around the couch, and yes, I'm running in the highest pair of heels I own. I kind of slow everyone else down a bit.
Angela: Tell me again who's playing your burglar boyfriend?
Erin: Rick Signorelli plays Kris (the Santa Claus burglar) and the rest of the cast is: Gerritt Van Der Werff Jr., Rebecca Brown, Anne Freund (she just moved here!), Matt Nilsen (a theater newbie), and Dan Stevens.
Angela: With or without context, what's your favorite line in the play?
Erin: When Bill says: I can't think when he's coming on to me.
Angela: And finally, what is one thing you want people to know about this show?
Erin: There is a Stay-Puft Marshmallow man on the bookshelves. At least, there has been in the rehearsals. Since I'm telling you, I'll make sure he stays.
And there you have it. Many thanks go out to Erin Race for the chat and Jon Wilson for the photo. Join us next week for the House Lights review!

With the Superdome quiet Sunday night, any New Orleans Saints fan who wanted a high-decibel fix to accompany the Super Bowl should have gone to Sidney's Saloon, Kermit Ruffins' bar in Treme.
When the Saints scored, the walls shook. Before the cheers could die down, "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" poured out of the speakers, and second-line umbrellas sprouted somewhere in the crowd of about 150 people who jammed the rooms and boogied. And after the Saints got onto the scoreboard with Garrett Hartley's first field goal, things started getting interactive, and people weren't hesitant about speaking their minds.
"It's like being at the game," said Jerry Hunter, who was stuck at the bar's entrance because the crowd was so thick. "But when the game is over, we can drive home."
At the center of the action was Ruffins himself, smiling and looking natty in an outsize black newsboy cap, a black suit and a fleur-de-lis tie.
The New Orleans trumpeter, who has owned the bar at St. Bernard and St. Claude avenues for two years, started preparing early for the onslaught, fixing barbecued meat, five meatloaves and 15 pounds of red beans and rice.
But it wasn't enough, and fresh supplies were brought in during the third quarter.
The crowd, Ruffins said, rivaled the turnout on the night in November 2008 when Barack Obama was elected president.
Ruffins was the only member of his band, the Barbecue Swingers, at the bar. Nobody else wanted to come out, he said, because everyone wanted to watch the game instead.

A Downtown Jersey City neighborhood group has organized a public meeting tonight for residents to ask questions and air their concerns over weekend interruptions of PATH service between the Exchange Place station in Jersey City the the World Trade Center station in Manhattan.
Representatives of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the bistate agency that operates PATH, will attend the meeting arranged by the Historic Paulus Hook Association (HPHA) and hosted by the Van Vorst Park Association at 7:30 p.m. at the Barrow Mansion, 83 Wayne St.
The Port Authority announced earlier this month that service between the two stations would be suspended every weekend for the rest of the year and possibly into 2015 so the agency can install a federally mandated anti-collision system.
PATH representatives Jenn Onofrio, coordinator of marketing and customer service programs, and Juan Carlos Rojas, external client representative, government and community relations, will attend the meeting.
The HPHA board of directors said it wants Port Authority to establish alternative channels of transportation to mitigate difficulties associated with the shutdown.

Listening to Roman talk about how stupid the players are is a big part of the reason I watch these videos. It's absolutely hilarious.
I again completely agree with shequan. what a smart guy.
great video
GnomeChompski: with e3 you are protecting pawn while developing and making usefull moves, b3 is completely pointless and doesnt help development at all...
Bravo GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
I found this small examples , very , very instructive!!!
thx! :D
This was a 1 minute game. This much is clear
White player's brain appears burnt-out
white was kind of like someone who wandered up to chess board for first time ever and someone lies to them, misinforms them, and tells them that the goal of game is to try to put your pieces in pretty pattern on board.
W0w, Hilarious commentating by Dzindzi !! As soon as i will catch my breath ,i will watch the other half!! Great analysis !!
good video but remember we have all been Begins .
"Uniquely bad" LMAO!!! Hilarious narration!
Yeah that does help, thank you :)
Someone explain to me why that b3 move by white is so bad. I am quite new to chess and am still trying to figure out. It looked like a decent move to me because b3 backed up his center pawn (his "plan" would be to develop because its still the opening game phase) Unless chess theory for the Grunfeld aims for a different purpose someone please explain it to me, thanks.
always love the member analysis games !!!! keep 'em comin
great observations and comments to remember..."uniquely bad" game that require the witness protection program for white!
@Derived and others looking for it: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/member-analysis-auditions is where you can post games for our next batch of member analysis...
i was saw your video'how to think like a grandmaster' it was very well but you didn't give strong tips. plese answer and give me some tips
GReat video.. I love the fact that he uses small rated players games, because those are the moves that we make so much as low rated players. I use (cough) a6 and h6 all the time, to stop the "chances" of an attack. OKOK I know !
GM Roman has always been interesting to listen to for me, since years ago on ICC, as a commentator. He was hilarious then also! What is better, however, is that his instructions are so simple and straight forward.
Thanks, alot GM Roman D. !
How does one submit a game for Member Analysis?
in my opinion, in the opening, u don't need to exactly "have a plan" By the word "plan" my meaning is that the player is trying to accomplish something concrete, based on 1.The opponent's weaknesses 2.Their superiority on a certain area 3.A certain goal that they have in mind. I definitely don't think this is what should be done in an opening. I think what Dzindzi means is that the pieces must be developed harmoniously, in response to the opponents development, as well as purposefully, so that in the middle game they can be useful togerther. Furthermore, dont drop material without at least some compensation
by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
A man without a plan is a dog chasing cars! GM Roman Dzindzichashvili may not use the same terminology, but his criticisms of the following game should be just as sufficient. Learn vicariously from your fellow Chess.com members about the negative effects of playing without any structure or goal in mind. Simply put: Don't do it! Or the big, bad Roman will get you...

GM Dzindzichashvili was once one of the top players in the world. Born in Georgia, his chess first developed in the USSR. While still an International Master, he defeated opponents like Botvinnik and Bronstein before emigrating, first to Israel where he became a Grandmaster, and then to the United States. His accomplishments in the U.S. include two U.S. Championship first places, and one World Open. He has not played actively in tournaments recently, but has become even more famous perhaps in the U.S. for quality instructional materials, in particular chess videos!

Immediately after my last post, cedar fever hit..and it hit hard. I've spent most of this past week in an oxygen-deprived haze. Decongestants were laughable, tissues were finite, and I didn't get more than a couple hours of sleep each night from Saturday through until Thursday, when the levels of cedar pollen dropped low enough for my allergy meds to finally catch up.
It's been a week.
The sun did finally return, but the warmer weather brought the cedar back in full force, so I've been "enjoying" it from the safety of my air purifier-ed apartment. This too shall pass, of course. Cedar fever is hardly the worst thing that anyone could be suffering through, but it certainly knocked me down for the count this week and put a hold on a lot of my creative intentions. One loses motivation for 'honest' self-portraits when it 'honestly' looks like Nature punched you in the face.
It feels like I've fallen behind on a lot this week. When I haven't been at work, I've been finishing up wedding photos (and huzzah – they are DONE as of tonight.) The past two Sundays at church have been especially long, even though it's been for good reason, and that's really cut into my weekend introverting/cooking/cleaning groove..but this, too, shall pass.
All that to say: it's 8:30pm on a Sunday and this is what my kitchen looks like:
I'd be more than happy to put off the making of more dirty dishes, if not for the minor detail that if I don't finish cooking I won't have anything to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner (or snack) tomorrow.
I do enjoy cooking, and I enjoy bringing order to my space, and there is something particularly satisfying about wrapping up the weekend with sink free from dishes and a fridge full of food. It'll all be worth it in, oh, another couple hours.
Until then…there is only one time-honored way to make all that time in the kitchen worth it.
Current soundtrack: Shut Up and Dance

County Hosting Free Income Tax Preparation Assistance at Various Sites
Volunteer Driven IRS Effort to Focus on Low-Income, Elderly, Disabled and Limited English Speaking Residents
Page Content
– Filling out
income tax forms may be a daunting experience, especially to those not who are not fluent in English or lack resources to pay for professional guidance.
The County of Santa Clara is inviting low income, elderly, limited English speaking and disabled residents to use the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), a free annual service coordinated by the Internal Revenue Service and supported by over one hundred trained IRS certified volunteers.
"For many, tax season may come with apprehension and frustration," said President Ken Yeager, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. "We are glad the County continues to partner every year in this voluntary effort to provide convenient locations for free and reliable tax preparation assistance."
Currently, more than 40 sites throughout the County are providing tax preparation support, including three County libraries and one Social Services location. Services started in late January and
will continue until mid-April.
Assistance is available to residents whose 2012 income was less than $51,000 and who are not filling as "Married, Filing Separate."
"As a professional tax preparer for 20 years, I know firsthand how tax regulations are complex and change from year to year," said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Mike Wasserman,
Delegate for the County Library District Joint Powers Authority
, the governing board of the Library. "It can be a relief to work with experienced volunteers with up to date knowledge."
At some VITA locations, residents will need to schedule appointments.
Assistance at County Locations will be given in a "first come, first served" basis.
To maximize federal and California State tax preparation assistance, those seeking help should bring:
Proof of identification such as a driver's license or other photo ID
Social Security Cards or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) for individuals, spouse and dependents
Birth dates for individuals, spouse and dependents on the tax return
Wage and earning statement(s) such as Form W-2, 1099's, 1098's and all other tax forms they have received
A copy of last year's federal and state returns if available
Proof of bank account
for direct deposit of refund (e.g., a voided check)

I am a write-in candidate for Whitehall school board. On the ballot Nov. 6 there will be a blank space for one of the two school board positions. Anyone wishing to vote for me can write my name in the square, but they must also fill in the circle, or else the vote will not count.
I look forward to the chance to support our excellent teachers, coaches and staff here in Whitehall, who continue to make sacrifices to mentor, encourage and challenge, and have given up a great deal for the profession they love.
I also value the relationships I've made with parents and students over 18 years in this community, teaching, learning and listening. Budgets are tricky right now, and the field of education is changing rapidly, but a once highly regarded profession still deserves our deepest respect.
Win or lose, I'd like to thank every teacher I ever had, from kindergarten on up.

Family and friends holding out hope
PROVINCIAL ŌĆö From his hometown of MoretonŌĆÖs Harbour to the province of Ontario and beyond, people are pleading with 44-year-old Stephen Scott Jones to come home.
Stephen Scott Jones
Mr. Jones, who is affectionately known by his mom and siblings as ŌĆ£ScottŌĆØ and to friends and co-workers as ŌĆ£Stephen,ŌĆØ has been missing since Nov. 21 in Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Jones has been a loyal employee for 18 years and it is unlike him to suddenly vanish.
The Toronto Police Service is concerned for his safety and are seeking the publicŌĆÖs assistance locating Mr. Jones. He was last heard from on Nov. 21 at approximately 3 a.m. He was in the Leslie Street/Sheppard Avenue East area.
He is described as white, 5ŌĆÖ7ŌĆ│, 180-200 lbs., with short, brown, receding hair and brown eyes. He has piercings in both ears with small gold hoops, and wears metal-framed glasses.
Everything I do makes me wonder,ŌĆØ said brother Glen Jones. ŌĆ£I eat a meal and I wonder if he is hungry. I go to bed and I wonder where he is sleeping. I go outside in the cold and I wonder if he is warm. I talk to my friends and I wonder if he has someone that he can trust and confide in. I breathe and I wonder if he is still alive, God I beg you, not for miracles, just an answer.ŌĆØ
"I look through tear dimmed eyes at the picture the cops have posted and see that grin of my beloved brother and see how well his personality was captured in that shot. Please come home. We all love you very much,ŌĆØ says sister Marilyn Jones.
ŌĆ£I feel like I am standing in the middle of an amusement park, lots of people around, tons of activities but I am frozen in one spot. Impossible to move, to enjoy any of the fun, to interact with anyone. People pass by and wonder why I am just standing there. Of course they cannot see my pain, only God can see my pain. I want to close my eyes and find a quiet place. I now understand, ŌĆśHe leads me in green pastures and beside the still watersŌĆÖ. How I long for the still waters in my heart. But today, I must pick up the pieces and continue to hope, pray and believe. I have proven the faithfulness of God so many times in the past and He is always faithful.ŌĆØ

Speeding Up
Up until now, the broadband grant process has been slower than anticipated. But with the unemployment rate now over 10%, the Wall Street Journal reports that the Obama administration wants to speed the process up:
Officials at the Commerce and Agriculture Departments outlined plans to consolidate into a single round a grant process originally projected to go for two more rounds. The first round of grants is scheduled to be made in December. The departments asked for comments on how the program could be changed to make it easier for companies to apply.
"This will get the funds out the door faster to stimulate the economy and create jobs," said Jonathan Adelstein, the Agriculture Department official overseeing the program in a statement. The Agriculture Department oversees a program to build broadband lines in rural areas and will distribute loans as part of the stimulus program.
In other national broadband plan news, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has announced the next round of broadband mapping grants. This time, seven states were on the list: Alabama, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin.

AMHERST – A Go Girl Self-Esteem Workouts program fundraiser is set for April 28, 7 p.m., at Burgess Hall, Trinity United Church.
The Go Girl program (formerly Girl Power) began in 1997 through the Sexual Health Centre for Cumberland County. The program promotes good self-esteem in girls ages nine to 13.
"I've noticed girls seem to be challenged with self-esteem and confidence in their adolescent years, and self-esteem is important at any age to overall emotional and physical health," said Ruthie Patriquin, executive director for Sexual Health Centre for Cumberland County.
The program is offered in July and August throughout Cumberland County. The two- or four-day sessions are held in Amherst, Parrsboro, Springhill, Oxford, River Hebert and Pugwash.
The program workshops include body image, decision-making skills, assertiveness and sessions on helping others and seeing how helping others can make a difference in ones self esteem.
The fundraising event set to aid in this program includes author Sheree Fitch who will read from several of her books, Vanessa Blanch of CBC Moncton will interview Fitch, and two girls who previously attended Girl Power will sing.
"I think women, regardless of age, have a certain amount of self-esteem issues because of more pressure from society and the media on body image issues," Patriquin said.
"The program has been very successful, girls look forward to attending, many girls want to return but we do focus our registration on new registrations."
Program leaders for the program have not been chosen yet, normally program leaders are chosen by June. Last year's co-ordinator, Sarah Sears, will be returning.
Also, girls from Grade 11 through to university students can drop resumes off at the Sexual Health Centre, 11 Elmwood Drive, side entrance.

Obama and company have a lot of time, effort and money invested in the Muslim Brotherhood.
He doesn't want Israel pounding all his hard work into dust. Why does the headline NEVER read: Obama warns the Arabs (who have like 90% of the area?) against ramping up?
November 17, 2012 at 8:00pm
That would include the repeal of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. The stat legislatures would send the two Senators to Washington. No longer voted in (for life it seems) by popular vote.
I would also argue for a larger House of Representatives from properly drawn/configured districts that represent no more than so many thousands of people each. That would make each Representative more closely accountable to their constituents.
Last, I would be in favor of the Unicameral state legislature system such as Nebraska has. There is no need for a state Senate. Your state legislature Representative would be in an even smaller district and would thus represent you and your community more closely and thus reflect your wishes in sending the Senators to D.C.

I agree with Stuck_In_CA: Here in Virginia we have touchscreen electronic voting machines with non-hard-copy-non-paper "ether" ballots going to a hard drive that nobody can be sure of what happens or where they go from there except the programmer.
I will refrain from ever voting gain unless or until the go all-paper ballots. Besides, Virginia is an all-blue state now. The liberal Democrats got it now, so there is no use bothering to vote. Blacks, Hispanics and Asians now out-number us and out-vote us.

Sequim chamber seeks art for walking map
The Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce Merchants Group seeks artists interested in creating a Downtown Fun Walking Map.
The concept of the map is to have a fun, whimsical and artistic representation of the downtown core shopping area to share with tourists.
It is envisioned that the final map will include the following:
• Ultimate design: 8.5 inches by 11 inches
• Project area to be included: Core area of Sequim's downtown
East to west: Washington Street from Sunnyside to Third avenues
North to Alder Street; South to include Bell Street
To be considered for the development of the map, the chamber requests a sample of artwork representing the following area: The intersection of Sequim Avenue/Washington Street incorporating the corners — Garden Bistro, Over the Fence, Bank of America Park, Cole's Jewelers, U.S. Bank, Pacific Mist Books and the Hurricane Coffee plaza.
The sample should be in full color and reflect a sampling of building facades, street names, signage, lighting, pedestrians and directional signs or information.
Samples are due to Shelli Robb-Kahler, Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director, by 5 p.m. Friday, May 27.
Drop off your sample at the chamber's visitor center at 1192 E. Washington St., or submit it electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com.
All submittals must contain:
• Name and address as well as contact information (phone and e-mail address)
• A bid amount for the complete project, which will include the ultimate design of the 8.5-inch by 11-inch product of the project area described above.
The chamber anticipates selecting the final artist by the second week in June. The artist chosen will be notified immediately. Submitting artists must be available to meet the following milestones:
• Draft map of full project area to selection committee due by June 30
• Final product due on July 15.
The selected artist will receive additional input and guidelines regarding the creation of the final map, as well as recognition of his or her work. For more information, call Liz Harper at 683-7698 or e-mail email@example.com.

RB Bradshaw To Get Season-Ending Neck Surgery
The Indianapolis Colts have been riding high in recent weeks thanks to three straight wins, including a comeback victory over the heavily-favored Seattle Seahawks this past Sunday, but the team received bad news on Tuesday after learning that RB Ahmad Bradshaw will need season-ending surgery on his neck.
Bradshaw originally suffered the injury during the first quarter of a game against the San Francisco 49ers three weeks ago, but he played exceptionally well through the pain, as he carried the ball 19 times for 95 yards and a touchdown during the victory at Candlestick. After experiencing discomfort the following day, Bradshaw sat out of practice the entire week and ended up missing games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Seahawks. Indianapolis hoped that rest would allow the neck to heal on its own and that the veteran back would be able to return after missing a couple of games, but the injury hasn't shown any signs of improvement and surgery became the only option.
The Colts decision to trade for Trent Richardson now has even greater significance, as both Bradshaw and Vick Ballard will now be on injured reserve with season-ending ailments. Richardson finally started to show some life in the second half against Seattle this past weekend, but he has averaged less than 3.1 yards per carry in all three of his games with the team and will need to improve rapidly as the season progresses to keep the Colts' rushing attack viable. He'll be expected to perform at a high level and show he was well worth the team's investment trading a first round pick to the Cleveland Browns to obtain his services.
Backup Donald Brown should also see increased touches in Bradshaw's absence, and based on how he has performed in recent weeks, seeing him on the field more frequently might not be a bad thing for Indy's offense. The ex-Connecticut star hasn't seen a lot of action this season, but he's become a bigger part of the offense the past few weeks without Bradshaw available, and he's averaging over eight yards per carry this season. While Richardson has been labeled as a downhill, powerful runner, Brown gives the team a quicker back who has greater potential to break runs for big plays and may be a more reliable option as a receiver in Pep Hamilton's offense.
If Richardson or Brown goes down, the Colts could be in serious trouble. Indianapolis hasn't released a corresponding roster move to replace Bradshaw at this point, but it would be surprising if the team didn't bring on a third back to add an insurance policy in the backfield.

AUBURN, MI — Auburn's lone police officer is an officer no longer, throwing the city's department into limbo as officials consider their next move.
Sylvester "Sly" Poltorak became the sole policeman in Auburn, population 2,087, when Chief James Klann retired in 2009. Poltorak worked his last day Dec. 8, taking leave because of an injury he suffered while off duty. Poltorak was officially relieved of employment April 9, said Auburn Mayor Lee Kilbourn.
"Technically, according to our attorney and the city's personnel policy, he is no longer employed with us due to his non-work-related medical condition," Kilbourn said. "He has exhausted all of his medical and leave time.
"The way the personnel manual basically has it … it is a voluntary resignation," Kilbourn continued. "Once all of your medical days and leave time is gone, and you no longer can fulfill the job and don't come to work, then according to our attorney, you are no longer employed."
Kilbourn said he could not divulge the specifics of Poltorak's medical condition.
The Bay City Times was unable to contact Poltorak for comment.
Roughly since Klann's departure, the city has contracted with the Bay County Sheriff's Office, which has supplied Deputy Anthony Peter to patrol the 1-square mile city. The sheriff's office is contracted to supply two deputies to surrounding Williams Township, and they have also been policing Auburn as needed.
"We had been asked by the city to fill in since Mr. Poltorak has been off," said Sheriff John E. Miller.
City officials now have two options: Hire an officer to replace Poltorak, or dissolve the police department and continue contracting with the sheriff's office, the mayor said.
"We still have our personnel people researching and going over what we want to do," Kilbourn said. "Our goal is to do what's best for the people and be the most cost-effective to give them the best service for the dollar."
By having Peter patrol the city full-time, the city saves $20,000 to $25,000 per year. If another deputy is contracted, the city could save $50,000 to $60,000 in the next fiscal year, the mayor said.
The sheriff said he has not been asked by city officials to supply a second deputy full-time.
Auburn City Commissioner Russell Williams said there has not yet been any discussion on how to proceed.
"As far as a future plan, we're kind of in the middle of evaluating costs and trying to put together … a justification for our own plan or a county plan," Williams said. "There's no light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak."
The next City Commission meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 7 at City Hall, 113 E. Elm. The agenda comes out Thursday, but Williams said he doesn't expect policing will be a part of it.
Williams said he favors hiring a new officer or rehiring Poltorak rather than exclusively dealing with the sheriff's office.
"There has been no discussion of the elimination of the Auburn Police Department whatsoever," he said. "I'm one … who wholeheartedly supports our own police department."

Natural Attraction
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You may be surprised at the volume of people vying for your attention today, both at work and at home. As an increasing number of peers, colleagues, and loved ones approach you for advice, friendly conversation, or to ask a favor, you may find yourself wondering at your sudden popularity. However, because you are in a sociable and friendly mood today, you will likely respond politely and pleasantly to those individuals that are keen on spending time with you. Others may graciously express their appreciation for what they perceive as your unquenchable generosity of spirit. If you find the additional attention bothersome, consider that your popularity is likely a testament to the value others see in you. You can make the most of your newfound popularity by using it as a vehicle to invite others to explore your values.
One of the simplest methods of earning popularity is to treat others in the same manner you expect others to treat you. People are naturally drawn to individuals who project an aura of friendly openness and are consistently courteous. Behave in an approachable fashion and individuals in your personal and professional spheres will feel more comfortable approaching you whether they want to engage you in conversation or consult you for advice. By being yourself at all times, you let others know that you will accept them the way they are rather than ask them to conform to your expectations. Friends and colleagues alike will appreciate the attention you give. Others will seek out your company today when you are universally kind to everyone you meet.

I contacted one of the head Techs at Dish today and she told me that the software version is not 140 but 150. Once again it is only a maintenance upgrade, which means no new features. Since I had one of the very upper level techs, I thought it was a good time to inquire about a search and caller ID option for the 501. The caller ID won't be happening on the 501. With out a real keyboard, the search feature would require a on screen keyboard taking up too much of our precious hard drive space. She indicated that the engineers were trying to get around that issue but we shouldn't expect it anytime soon.
The next major upgrade should be coming in July giving us interactive customer service plus local movie information and other services. Plus it will have some sort of game feature added.

tivo doesn't seem to have a problem with space for its search function... and I haven't seen a keyboard.
They can spend the time and space to develop games? If I wanted games I'd buy a playstation. I'd much rather have searching available.

I agree, I would rather see the hard drive space used for a search option also.

Wouldn't the "Platinum" keyboard slated for the 721 fit this bill?
I'm not sure how good the information is that you got from the E* tech... It is pretty contrary to everything we have heard from other sources including E*, so I don't know that I would give it much weight.
Besides, it seems the folks in the call centers are about a week behind us in information anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't they say on the last Charlie Chat or Tech Chat we were getting a search feature added to the 501?

Ya it's been said. Lots has been said. Ya know, WE was supposed to be dumped and 131 be IFC only. DISH wouldn't carry WE. This was supposed to be last April. Instead, this January they seperated them. ABC Family was gonna be dumped. A DISHPlayer update was supposed to be released "next week" - instead it went into testing the next week. The 6000 was once said to be OpenTV compatible. A lot's been said without much meaning.

Neglecting for the moment the question of size and length availability. I've only been able to find 14mm in 18-8, which is not hardened but generally rated at 100 ksi. That's probably too low.
These are 14mm bolts or 0.551 inch in diameter. Cross sectional area is 0.238 sq-in, so selecting a 17-4 like H 1150 gives YS of 150 ksi. Something like a single shear of 35,700 lbf, so using a FS of 0.2 (5 times factor of safety) is still 7,140 lbf or 14,280 lbf in double shear. Although if memory serves something like this would not be a double shear joint due to the relatively large void between the side plates and the twisting of the spring in the hanger.

Black history celebrated through professional, student art
READING, Pa. - Black History Month is time to reflect on the culture of African Americans. Art lovers can soak up that history and culture from the eye of professional and student artists at the GoggleWorks in Reading.
"It takes hundreds and hundreds of dots to make an image like this," said artist Ed Terrell, who explained how he created images of men and women from the 30s and 40s who were part of the Negro Baseball League. "Back then there was very strong segregation in the sports fields so the Negroes had their teams and the Caucasians they had their teams."
With different sized pens, Terrell captured their faces and their stories.
"His name was Rube Foster. He was a manager and he was very successful at what he was doing, but he got too successful and was committed into a mental institution," said Terrell, pointing to one of his portraits.
There is also storytelling in another work Terrell created based on his travels to Africa.
"This is a very prestigious event that goes on there," said Terrell, pointing to a colorful painting hanging near the front desk at the GoggleWorks.
For Black History Month, on the first floor of the GoggleWorks, you can see two exhibits by Terrell. And on the second floor in the ACOR gallery, you can see works done by students.
"Children, they have a good concept for color... because they're not so inhibited to be structured. They're more free flowing," said Terrell.
The artwork in the gallery was created by Reading School District students in first through 12th grades on the theme, "Moving Forward." Terrell said the name comes from Barack Obama's second presidential campaign, and students' interpretations are vast.
"This is the first year that I've ever gotten a sculpture piece that was so explanatory when you look at the object and you can see what it's all about," said Terrell, pointing to an 11th grader's ceramic sculpture of a slave ship.
Terrell said all the works will be on display through February.
"We're highlighting Black History Month and through the art and culture, we feel that this is the perfect venue for people to come out and appreciate the art and culture of the African American community," said Terrell.

Some big names have found news homes during the first two days of the week.
Seattle landed dynamic receiver Percy Harvin in a trade. Baltimore shipped 2012-2013 postseason hero Anquan Boldin to San Francisco. And that was just Monday.
Free agency kicked off Tuesday with the Ravens losing linebacker Paul Kruger to Cleveland and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to Miami. AFC North rival Pittsburgh watched speedy wideout Mike Wallace sign with Miami, too.
The early returns on Wednesday have been slow but you can expect that to change.
Here are a look at some of Wednesday's early moves:
PITTSBURGH: Signed backup quarterback Bruce Gradowski, a former Toledo star with Pittsburgh ties.
BUFFALO: The Bills, who cut QB Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier in the week and lost talented guard Andy Levitre to Tennessee, signed pass-rushing linebacker Manny Lawson, who played with Cincinnati last year.
DETROIT: The Lions signed defensive tackle Jason Jones, who was a key member of Seattle's defensive line rotation last season.
BALTIMORE: The Ravens plan to cut safety Bernard Pollard today to create some cap room (Ed Reed signing?), according to multiple reports.

ALLEN PARK - Some observations from Friday's Detroit Lions training camp practice:
--- In team drills, the starting cornerbacks were Chris Houston (left) and EricWright (right) with DeAndre Levy still anchored in the middle of the defense with Stephen Tulloch on the outside. In seven-on-seven drills, Wright did a good job of stripping the ball away from receiver Calvin Johnson on the first play.
--- Safety Amari Spievey looks much faster this year. Part of it is the fact he's in better condition than he was coming in as a rookie last season and part of it his quicker recognition on the field. The improvement in speed is evident when he's breaking on balls and chasing plays.
--- The team was in shoulder pads, helmets and shorts today, but the hitting was still crisp. The offensive and defensive lines are starting to get a little testy with each other.
--- Team drills can be a little misleading at times because when a running back doesn't break stride and pops a hole, he's going 100 miles an hour and it looks like a touchdown run. Sometimes it is, but there are times a defender will have blown up the play at the line, but pulls off. The back, knowing he won't get hit, keeps churning so it looks like a lot bigger play than it usually is. That's why defensive players will sometimes pop a runner just keep things in perspective.

Gambia leaves the Commonwealth, days after President told UN that gays want to end human existence
Post your comment

Good riddance ! He can do with out all our aid too !!!!!
I feel sorry for LGBT people in The Gambia but have nothing for contempt for their President. What will travel companies do to advise LGBT vistiors of the problems that may arise?
I am in favour of expulsion for all those Commonwealth countries that refuse to respect the rights of GLBT people.
So you are in favour of all but shelving the Commonwealth? :-) Though to be fair I do not understand why the word COMMON exists in an organization that has the UK, Canada and South Africa as members alongside the likes of Nigeria and Pakistan!
We should have a minimum standard of human rights to allow a country to be a member of the Commonwealth.
If you don't sign up and deliver, then you're out and you don't receive any aid.
What's wrong with that?
Ridiculous that he thinks we want to end human existence.
That's a common fallacy homophobes like to use.
It's predicated on three false notions, that gay people don't ever breed, that gayness is contagious, and that the straight population can't sustain the human race without our assistance (smaller generation gaps, larger families etc.).
In reality the human race just exceeded the 7 billion mark and counting.
I would've said overpopulation was the more pressing issue, but apparently we're not doing our bit by breeding like rabbits.
Anyone for Soylent Green?
He claimed to have produced a paste which cured AIDS when rubbed on your chest and was followed by eating a couple of bananas. Bananas – how appropriate.
What makes bananas appropriate? Are you trying to be an asshole? If the man does not want pigs why insult him?
We're so sorry to see you go. Chill the champagne, somebody.
Good. Now, not so much as a single penny, asylum for anyone who can get out, and let the cesspit of poverty, ignorance and extremism rot.
Including the LGBT Africans? Well we're the real victims here, us the hardworking taxpayers living in a developed country.
Yes you're right, sod the LGBT Africans, as long as our pennies are safe we can sleep well at night.
Jesus fúcking Christ.
Do we give Gambia aid, pull it all out now, give them nothing. if they want to be on their own, let them.
The religious nutters will stop at nothing to demonsatrate their hate, including harming their own country.
I really feel sorry for LGBT people over there, they are going to be isolated now.
Soon he will be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize alongside Putin.
Shame on you! You made me spit coffee all over my computer keyboard, bursting into laughter. LOL
Good riddance and couldn't come soon enough. Any aid package deleted and close the door to bad rubbish.
"Close the door".
I didn't realise that floods of Gambians were on their way over? Enlighten me….
The Commonwealth is a joke as far as human rights are concerned. Of the 54 nations in the Commonwealth, homosexuality is illegal in 40 of them. (Source: Wikipedia). We shouldn't be providing aid to countries that discriminate against members of their population whether for race, religion, sexual orientation or gender.
I visited The Gambia when I was younger, it's a beautiful country with a wonderful culture.
… pity it's run by a mad person.
This is indeed good news. His irrational decision relieves the UK of the burden of sending another single penny in aid. But it is desperate news for the LGBT community in The Gambia. Having to endure such ignorance and hate in a leadership must be horrendous.
"The government has withdrawn its membership of the British Commonwealth and decided that the Gambia will never be a member of any neo-colonial institution and will never be a party to any institution that represents an extension of colonialism."
But you are happy with religious colonialism apparently. Off you go now, and play with your magic cures.
Great. This tips the balance in the Commonwealth a little bit more in favour of countries that actually value human beings as human beings.
Good riddance Gambia.
Just another backward nation about to experience a massive social and civil collapse, we could do without being involved in any way.
You watch, Gambia is about to be dragged into another ongoing civil war thanks to their weakness in the face of militant Islam and religious insanity. This is going to spread across all nations that do not combat militant religious ideas.
It's happening in Somalia, it's likely to spread into Kenya unless they can prevent it with outside help.
There is a considerable religious war coming, and Gambia has picked the wrong side to be on.
The only people I feel sorry for are the innocent Gambians )LGBT or otherwise) who really don't care what others do, they just want a good life for themselves and their children.
Hurrah! Now will all the others follow suit? Why do we refer to it as 'The Gambia'? Very odd. I hope that UK financial aid is cut off, but I very much doubt it.
(For much the same reason as old-fashioned people refer to The Argentine, I believe – the territory takes its name from a river.)
Still odd though. Other English speaking countries don't refer to it as such.
You live in London. You know how it works. "The Edgeware Road, The Balham High Road, etc." British people love to stick THE in front of everything.
The fact is that the Commonwealth acts in the same way that the trade routes in the EU with membership countries. So this idiot has just shot his own country in the foot as far as its exports are concerned.
Good riddance I say. And stop the aid to that country as well.
You should also have no relationship with Malaysia, Seychelles, Sir Lanka, Brunei, but these are not the poor Gambia and then there are other 40 Commonwealth countries always
While I do feel very sorry indeed for any poor LGBT Gambians, the chorus of a ditty comes to mind:
♪So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye …♫
I think his announcement speaks volumes about the state of his country and it's poor people. A laughing stock in the UN and now The Commonwealth.
Will banks show us how much money he has squirrelled away from the people? Another despot who should be banned from travelling to any civilised country.
He is the looser..and his people.
Glad to see them go, hopefully they will also step out of the UN, then they don't need our money. Hope the world bank also calls in their loans. Sit like these people need to be excluded from the world.
""Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers." Istaghfurallah! please lord this man does not know what he is saying. The Qur'an generally scorns "approaching males in lust", as well as the castration of males, as the sin of the people of Lot (Qur'an 7:81, 26:165-166, 27:55, 29:28-29).
"Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers." Istaghfurallah! This man doesnt know what he is saying!
It amazes me how many criminally insane psychopaths have a voice in the UN.
it;s tragic that cockroaches like this become heads of states. the top african cardinal believes the same as this one.
Pulled this from the BBC:
President Yahya Jammeh seized power in a bloodless coup in 1994 and has ruled with an iron fist ever since.
Stability has not translated into prosperity. Despite the presence of the Gambia river, which runs through the middle of the country, only one-sixth of the land is arable and poor soil quality has led to the predominance of one crop – peanuts.
This has made The Gambia heavily dependent on peanut exports – and a hostage to fluctuations in the production and world prices of the crop.
Consequently, the country relies on foreign aid to fill gaps in its balance of payments.
President Jammeh wants to turn The Gambia into an oil-producing state. He says this could usher in a "new future". However, the country has yet to strike crude oil.
The last line says it all – the guy's a space cadet
Roll on the rest of them….53 and were free of money worries…..
sick silly man! homosexuality is very normal.
