Best Of :: Food & Drink
If the idea of the best mac 'n' cheese in the Valley coming out of the Scottsdale Airport seems a bit of a stretch, consider its source: chef Brian Ford, who made his name working at the highly respected Quiessence in South Phoenix for 10 years before calling this unassuming cafe home. Turning the oftentimes heavy cholesterol load into a surprisingly light gourmet meal, Ford's mac 'n' cheese creations are sometimes made with a trio of fontina, aged cheddar, and Parmesan, sometimes kicked up with roasted poblano peppers, and almost always topped with local ham or bacon and buttered bread crumbs. And because the cafe sits in view of the airport's runways, you can enjoy your mac 'n' cheese with a side of aero-entertainment.
Chef Kevin Binkley's first restaurant in Phoenix is a place where vegetables and fruits meet the future. Decidedly different from the upscale Binkley's Restaurant in Cave Creek and the more contemporary Cafe Bink in Carefree, the James Beard Award finalist's newest spot specializes in small plates of local produce re-imagined by a culinary powerhouse who just as easily could be pictured in a lab coat as an apron. From a menu that changes with the seasons, there might be roasted cauliflower with almonds, dried currants, and curry foam; juicy melon lit up with pepitas, chile piquin, ricotta salatta, and sangria granité; or sharp and peppery I'itoi onion and black-eyed peas interspersed with barbecued octopus. Fresh fruits find their way into inventive desserts like layered push-up pops and sorbet "soup" frozen with liquid nitrogen, and a well-crafted cocktail list reads like a kind of liquid science farmers market. The setting, a cozy neighborhood spot of wood floors, wainscoting, and white linen, makes Binkley's modernist take on cuisine feel right at home. (And good news: A second branch of Bink's Midtown is planned to open in Scottsdale by the end of the year.)
Thanks to Charleen Badman, there's never been a better time to eat our vegetables. At FnB, the venerated Scottsdale restaurant she co-owns with partner Pavle Milic, Badman celebrates produce like cellist Yo-Yo Ma celebrates classical music: with a reverence for the classics but with an eclectic repertoire. Turning what were once considered side dishes into centerpieces, you might find her rustic, seasonal, and locally focused creations in the form of grilled butternut squash with yogurt, marinated beluga lentils, and spiced seeds; heirloom tomatoes with crispy polenta croutons and oregano from Badman's own garden; or as her Food & Wine award-winning braised leeks topped with mozzarella, a fried egg, and mustardy bread crumbs. No matter which you choose, you'll never look at an eggplant or a broccoli floret the same way again.
Are you a diner of the adventurous sort? If so, you may want to remember the words "Chef's Special" when visiting this tidy home of satisfying Cantonese cooking in Glendale. More or less an off-the-cuff version of omakase (the Japanese term that leaves your meal up to the chef) and invented by Lucky's owners, Kitty and Kwok Pat, the Chef's Special is not so much a menu item as it is a passionate parade of very good dishes the Pats will pick for you. There may be crispy Shanghai chicken, ginger-spiked lamb and bean curd stew, or, for intrepid diners of the offal sort, pig's stomach mixed with crunchy, sour vegetables. The fun's in the not knowing. The flavors speak for themselves.
We should thank our lucky stars that James Beard Award nominee chef Shinji Kurita is in the Valley and not some other major city, where he certainly could hold his own in the area of foodie fanaticism. At his refined restaurant in Scottsdale, which accepts only a few reservations per night, Kurita prepares exquisite Japanese cuisine with a fervent dedication to top-notch ingredients. His omakase, or chef's choice dinners, are nothing short of spectacular. Then there's the luscious bluefin tuna tartare, a giant Madagascar prawn in black bean sauce, and a stellar carpaccio of seared halibut drizzled with ponzu. Nearly impressive as the fare is the selection of wines, sakes, and Japanese craft beers.
Leave it to Hong Kong-born chef Johnny Chu (Lucky Dragon, Fate, Sens) to bring flavor, fashion, and a house-party vibe to the heart of the Central Avenue business corridor. You'll find his fans, the city's young and chic, regularly dropping by to sip on sake-based martinis and nibble on small plates of Chu's top-notch Asian fusion fare, including five-spice quail, BLT spring rolls, and spicy basil tofu. The spacious white room, alive with purple lights and thumping beats, makes it easy to play it low-key while still staying "seen."

eum, just go to the options tab in wicd and change the wireless interface to wlan1
Hey everybody. Okay. So I'm pretty good with computers, but I am completely new and a beginner when it comes to Backtrack, Linux, and everything to do with it. Like can't get VLC to work, don't know how to download and install stuff...just totally new. Ha I have a default wireless card in my laptop, but just bought AWUS036H to use instead. I know it's set as wlan1 or whatever by running airmon-ng. However, I'm trying to figure out how to set it as my default card so that it shows up in Wicd manager. Right now I'm pretty sure it's still using my first wireless card since I should have more networks popping up and stronger signals. So I need to know exactly what to do in order to use this card and set it as my default so that it is used in the Wicd manager to search and connect to networks.
Have Windows 7 installed, but running Backtrack 5 as my OS (not using VMware or anything). Thanks in advance...

I'm looking for a way to put a camera on a robot for extremely little cost. My goal is to find a way to build a robot with a camera for ~$50. This price does not include any equipment that is not on the bot itself. (programmer, voltmeter, PC, etc)
In this case, I'm looking for something as simple as taking a photo and storing that on an sd card, not necessarily video, or full-blown robot vision processing, as either can easily be too much for an MCU. I'm also interested in capturing an image, and sending it to a pc wirelessly for further processing.
Given that the basic $50 robot apparently cost way more than $50 to build, I'll say you have some hills to negotiate
If you're planning to produce a million of them, you might be able to get the production cost down to $50.If this is just for a single 'bot, expect seceral times that.How many cameras are you planning to use?Why that many?Can you supply the power needed for them?
What's holding me back right now is that I do not understand exactly how this camera sends information on the output pins. It has 8 pins, and says that it uses parallel processing to send the bytes of the image. I'm thinking that this means that it sends an entire byte, each bit on one pin, for each byte of the image. does this mean that I would need 8 digital input pins on the MCU being used to capture the image, or would I use another IC to collect the image, and then send that serially to the MCU? I'm having a hard time finding any sort of tutorial for this type of information handling.

Post subject: gas prices
anybody plan to reduce their driving habits for a while as gas prices hover above $1.75? will it cut down on geocaching road trips for anybody?
i have a whole diatribe on the subject, but i don't have the energy right now.

It looks like I picked a good time to request an RMA to send my etrex in to Garmin to get the black rubber replaced--hopefully gas prices will be down by the time it gets back. I'm glad Perrine and I took a camping trip this past weekend--I'm sure the local profit-mongers are going to gouge the @#$%&* out of us over the holiday weekend. Anyhow, we've been busy enough at work that if I want to stay late and work some overtime, I can, so gas prices haven't affected my recreational activities, but they have compelled me to work a little more.

I was at the local station when the manager came out with a hand crank and proceeded to crank up the price on the sign. We all watched as he tacked on 15 cents. As I went through the checkout I asked the cashier why the price went up. Of course I got the standard answer "I don-no". Then for fun I said I didn't see the tanker bring any "new" gas that would justify a price change. All I got was a cold hard hairy eyeball stare.
Oh Well. JK

Its quite possible that the model price = cost * (1 + fairmargin) is what is taught in economics classes in MN. However, gas station owners subscribe to a different model called the model of Supply and Demand.

years ago i worked at a convenience store. when gas prices were reaching an unprecedented high, i had a phone call from somebody complaining about our company, asking me all sorts of questions about who owns the store, who oversees this, who oversees that. the guy was giving me a hard time for not being able to answer all his questions. your story kind of reminds me of that, kleiner.
your comment about "new gas" is quite interesting. i had never thought about it in that way.
i've seen more than one television news story in the past few years about gas pricing when the prices reach these painful levels. at least one of these stories had somebody touting how gas stations are actually competitive when it comes to pricing against one another, but i somewhat to see it.
i could see one owner's point, however, about his purchase price. when he purchases a tanker of gas, and then the wholesale price drops a day later, he is forced to lower his price to compete with the other stations, and that hurts his bottom line. that would likely explain why when one station jumps 15 cents, they all jump. i assume they base their current price on the wholesale prices, regardless of the price they paid for their last tanker, and hope it all evens out at the end of the year.
still, if stations were actually competive, the price at the local amoco (soon to be BP) and it's immediate neighbor, sinclair, wouldn't be exactly the same 99 percent of the time. (not counting the two-hour lag between when one raises/lowers its prices and when the other follows suit.)
so now that this is no longer a geocaching discussion, i will note that my travel plans are not changing, and those will include cache stops. but overall i'm trying to reduce my driving enough to perhaps save myself about 300 miles in the next month or so. (thereby saving myself one tank of gas.)
what does that mean for local geocaching? if i have the time, which in the summer months is less available, i will focus on some of the nearby caches i have yet to do, rather than the new and unique cache locations that may not be on the road to and from my usual destinations.
if gas prices flatline for a few months, (i read the spike may recess in the near future, but we all know that means not until after labor day,) and we're paying still $1.75 in mid-october, (prime geocaching time in my book,) that will be a good excuse to seek out those caches that take a lot of time to do. caches that can take a couple hours can be a turn off, but in the interest of economically conservative geocaching, they may become the best value for the gasoline dollar.

As of today, Aug 26, gas in Ely, and as far as I can tell-any station north of Duluth ,is $1.79 a gal. My cousin in Kansas City is at $1.61. Gas always goes higher before a holiday and comes down after - well, our boat needs about 35 gal and it has been sitting on the lift for awhile. The 5 gal left in it might get me to end on the lake and back one more time this season.

Post subject: My pockets say OUCH!
I found it interesting that at most gas stations this weekend (other than at Mankato where I live) the price this holiday weekend was actually lower than last weekend. This might be opening up a swarm of comments but why can't we drum up our own oil and stop depending on OPEC? We have vast amounts of oil under some of our waters and lands and know one would ever see us pipe it. I too have seen several shows about how people are gouged at the pumps but the gouging starts at the country we bought the oil from.
Am I the only one that thinks getting our own oil would be good?

i'm glad to see gas prices move the other way for a while, even if they did spike this past week.
i was worried that it would be at or above $2/gallon around and after labor day weekend, but it sure dropped in a hurry. (relatively speaking.) it topped out at $1.83 in my neighborhood, and dropped all the way down below $1.50 before it was time to jack the price. quite a surprise!
i kept waiting for that labor day jump, and it didn't come. just when you thought you've seen it all.....
besides the arbitrariness of the increases, i've never understood why the price will go down 3 or 5 cents at a time, but when it jumps, it never increases 3 or 5 cents, it always seems to jump at least a dime, often closer to 20 cents.
i'm just glad prices have come back to something less painful. now, about those winter heating bills.....

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College men's football team opened up their 2008 slate on Saturday night in front of a large crowd of close to 2,500 spectators, losing at home to the Braves of UNC Pembroke 28-0.
With the loss the Tornados fall to 0-1, while UNC Pembroke improves to 1-0 on the year. The Tornados are winless in their three season openers since the program was established in 2006.
In the season opener for both young programs, Brevard in their third year and UNCP in only their second season, the Tornados struggled offensively while the Braves capitalized on three key BC first half turnovers to help seal the victory.
Both teams struggled out of the gates offensively, as the Braves led off the game with a punt, giving the Tornados the ball with 8:35 remaining in the opening frame.
After the Tornados running back John Taylor open up the offensive series with a 13 yard run up the middle, the drive was brought to a quick halt only four plays later as freshman receiver Michael Gist could not hold on to a low screen pass, fumbling the ball and giving the Braves new life at the Brevard 39 yard line.
UNC Pembroke capitalized on the BC blunder, as running back Rashon Kennedy capped off a seven play, 39-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run putting the Braves on the board first. Kicker Taylor Baskett added the extra point to give UNC Pembroke an early 7-0 lead.
The Braves would again take advantage of a BC turnover in the second quarter, as BC junior quarterback Kye Hamilton had a pass intercepted by Caylon Hann, giving UNC Pembroke the ball at the Brevard 39-yard line.
Again Kennedy found the end zone, this time from eight-yards out, helping to put the Braves on top by two scores at 14-0.
On the ensuing offensive possession, the turnover bug would again bite the Tornados as Hann picked off a long throw by BC's Hamilton, this time returning it 41-yards to the Tornados 8-yard line.
Only one play later, UNCP quarterback Cory Smith connected with wide receiver Jamal Williams in the end zone, putting the Braves up 21-0 with a little over five minutes remaining in the first half.
The second half saw both teams continue to struggle offensively and saw the defenses hold their ground, with the lone score coming by way of a Keith Gore one-yard touchdown push up the middle at the 10:16 mark of the third quarter to put the score at 28-0.
For the game, the Tornados had 107 rushing yards on 32 rushing attempts, while the Braves rushed for 116 yards on 30 carries.
The difference in the game was by the air, as UNCP passed for 221 yards and one touchdown, while the Tornados threw for 65 yards and two interceptions.
Taylor led the offensively, as he recorded 113 total yards for the game – 61 yards rushing on 15 carries and 52 yards on four catches. Junior slot receiver Donald Hudson had 21 rushing yards for the game, while fellow classmates Shaton Pratt and Desmond Wilson had 17 and 15 yards, respectively.
In his first game in two years, Hamilton was 9-of-18 with two interceptions through the air, starting the game hitting on his first five pass attempts.
Defensively, junior linebacker Stanley Jones, who missed three-series due to an injury, led the Tornados with six total tackles, three of which were solo tackles. Safety's Trey Wilborn and Josh Durm each had five tackles on the night, while linebackers Brandon Rawls and Elliot Collins each recorded a sack for the game.
For UNC Pembroke, Williams led the way with 48 yards on the ground, all of which were on one carry. Kennedy and Gore both had seven rushing attempts apiece, with Kennedy picking up 32 yards and two touchdowns, while Gore had 18 yards and one score.
The quarterback duo of Smith and Sutphen were a combined 23 for 35 through the air for 221 yards, with Smith throwing a touchdown.
The Tornados will return to action again at home next week as BC will play host to Pikeville College on Saturday, August 30, at 6 p.m. UNC Pembroke will also be in action next Saturday night, as the Braves will host Davidson College in their home opener.

Royal couple shows off newborn prince!
Prince William and Kate Middleton are showing off their new prince. The royal couple and their baby were greeted with thunderous cheers by onlookers outside St. Mary's Hospital in London, where the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth yesterday several hours after being admitted. The proud father and radiant mother waved and smiled to the crowd.
The royal couple say they're still considering names for their bouncing baby boy. In their first appearance with the young prince outside the London Hospital, Prince William remarked that his son has a "good pair of lungs."
[PHOTOS: The Royals Welcome a Boy!]
Duchess Catherine appeared, looking gorgeous, in a light blue dress with white polka-dots cradling her son in a white blanket.
William joked that he's thankful his son has his wife's looks. When asked how his son's hair is, Prince William said, quote, "he's got way more than me, thank God."
Then the Prince loaded his family into a car and drove to Kensington Palace. One big happy royal family!

I need information about...
This is a blood test to look for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in your blood.
AFP is normally made by a fetus's liver and yolk sac. It's the main protein during the first three months of development. AFP greatly decreases by age 1 and should only be found in adults in very low levels.
AFP is one of several tumor markers. Tumor markers are molecules in the blood that are higher when a person has certain cancers. AFP is found mainly in liver cancer and nonseminomatous germ cell tumors, which are rare. These are found in the pineal gland in the brain.
Some people with cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis also have higher blood levels of AFP.
You may have this test if your healthcare provider suspects you have liver cancer, testicular cancer, or cancers of the brain, mediastinum, or blood.
This test is also used to watch cancer treatment or see if cancer has come back after treatment.
If your healthcare provider suspects you have liver cancer, you may also have:
Liver function tests, or LFTs. These tests look at the part of your liver that is not affected by cancer to see how well your liver is working. The tests look for levels of certain substances in your blood, such as bilirubin, albumin, ALP, AST, ALT, and GGT.
Blood clotting tests. Your liver makes proteins that help your blood clot. You may have blood tests, such as prothrombin time, or PT, to find out how well your liver makes these proteins and to look at your risk of bleeding.
Blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, and creatinine level tests. These show how well your kidneys are working.
Complete blood count, or CBC. This test measures your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which help blood to clot. It also shows how well your bone marrow is working. Your marrow is where new blood cells are made.
Electrolytes and blood chemistry tests. You may have your blood calcium and cholesterol levels checked because these can rise when you have liver cancer.
Viral hepatitis tests. Hepatitis B and C are linked to liver cancer, so you may have tests for viral hepatitis.
You may also have tests for other tumor markers in your blood, including:
Human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG
Lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH
Your healthcare provider also is likely to order imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI, or a biopsy to check for different cancers.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
AFP is measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). An AFP level of less than 10 ng/mL is normal for adults. An extremely high level of AFP in your blood—greater than 500 ng/mL—could be a sign of liver tumors.
High levels of AFP may mean other cancers, including Hodgkin disease, lymphoma, and renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer).
Not all people with these cancers will have an elevated AFP. And elevated AFP levels also could be a sign of cirrhosis or chronic acute hepatitis.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
If you are pregnant, your serum AFP level may be higher than normal. If you have hepatitis or cirrhosis, your AFP level may also be elevated.
If you had cancer and the treatment worked, your AFP levels should be normal.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

I'm Back!
Hey all,
Well, I took the past few months off from the archery forums to practice more and more and then there is that crappy thing called "a job" that I have been crazy busy with, but I wanted to let you all know that I am back! I will do my best to visit the site a few times a week and I am looking forward to re-discovering my old friendships with you all. I remember about 3 years ago...I never even shot a bow, and after finding this site and all your help, I have really become a decent archer, and I owe it all to you.

Good to hear from you.FBSA Member

sent using my keyboard and two fingers
So, in the time I was gone, pretty much been busy doing all sorts of things other than archery...ended up getting into motorcycling, ended up getting engaged...then unengaged...and that is about it...but those two things really have been taking up a lot of my time! LOL.
But, I don't know if you remember, but last year at state, ended up shooting a 300, 49X and took 2nd place in the 2nd Tier of the tournament, really felt like my form and shooting were coming around, then developed TP shortly after, and fell off the grid ever since. For the past year, I have been shooting BT and still searching for that first 300 score with it. I can go to a thumb and shoot a 300 instantly, but after a few rounds, I get jumpy, so i figure i will just stick with the BT going forward.
Sooner or later I will figure it out, and I have a feeling once I do, I'll be shooting a whole lot of 300's. I will try to post some pics of hunting and stuff this year as it starts up. This weekend headed to Rochester and will set up all the stands and check out the game cameras...hoping to see some good bucks on the film!
Hope everyone else is doing alright!____________________________________________

FLOTUS Michelle Obama was in Los Angeles this week to honor Janelle Monae at the Jane Ortner Education Award Luncheon at the Grammy Museum.
Our First Lady delivered the keynote speech at the event that honored the Grammy-winning artist and teacher, Sunshine Cavalluzzi.
"So many of the young people walk away transformed with a new sense of purpose and hope. Engagement in the arts can unlock a world of possibilities for our young people," she said.
"For many young people, arts education is the only reason they get out of bed in the morning, just like Janelle."

Models Galore Hit Vienna for 2009 Life Ball Extravaganza
>> Before heading back to the States from Venice, a number of Chanel Cruise attendees — and show strutters like Toni Garrn and Siri Tollerod — made a stop over in Vienna for the annual Life Ball AIDS charity spectacular Saturday evening. The town hall was surrounded by 2.5 million liters of water trucked in for this year's marine theme, and the guest list topped 40,000.
Amber Valletta opened the motorcade in a blue crystal-covered chariot, Anja Rubik was in attendance wearing her favorite label as of late, Balmain, and Sessilee Lopez sported a blonde wig for one of her turns during the catwalk festivities. Heather Marks, Iris Strubegger, Emina Cunmulaj, Eliza Cummings, Kinga Rajzak, Sara Blomqvist all also participated, plus first-timer Stephanie Carta, who described the experience as "a fantasy world of glitter and botox and some kind of neverending celebration."

Dhingion Niginair - letters of the Wise - is the alphabet developed by Pieter Rottiers to write his conlang, Dardanian. It's characters are loosely based on the Futhark, though they are usually written vertically, from top to bottom and from left to right.
The alphabet is said to be designed by Thinle the Seeress herself, though some historians find that hard to believe.
The Dhingion have known a long and dynamic evolution, mostly depending on the ups and downs of the cultural life in Dardaniell. It started as an adaptation of the Futhark by the Barbaroi: since this nomadic people could only use their writing on parchment (huge slabs of stone are peculiarly hard to drag around), they didn't need their alphabet to be as straight and hard as the original one. The adaptation they invented could be written with a brush of pen. It took the other people in Dardaniell a while (over two hundred years) to discover the great improvement of the alphabet. It took them another ten years to change the whole administrative system. Since those days the Dhingion have been further developed by several writers, scholars, magicians and noblemen. The variant explained here is the one used in the second half of the fifth century, during the Golden Age of the Eastern Kingdom.
In Dardanian vowels and vowel groups are written as diacritics on the right side of the vertical guiding bar, between the two consonants that surround them. Examples:
Diphthongs can be created by putting the first vowel to the right of the second. Example:
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.
(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

Tentative June trial set in Trayvon Martin case
Published: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 10:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 10:39 a.m.
SANFORD, Fla. — A judge has set a tentative trial date next year for a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer charged with fatally shooting an unarmed teenager.
Judge Debra S. Nelson set June 10 as the tentative start for George Zimmerman's trial. But his attorney noted there are still several unresolved pretrial matters to complete. Another status hearing is set for December 10.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February. The 29-year-old has claimed self-defense and is pleading not guilty.
Attorney Mark O'Mara estimated he expects the trial to last three weeks.
They'll be back in court Friday for what is expected to be a lengthy hearing for arguments on several motions, including the defense asking for more time to interview state witnesses.

Hey Doodleflip, hope this will help.
When you boot the LiveCD and at the boot prompt, type:
/boot/vmlinuz max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=10000 root=/dev/ram0 rw press enter
The above should boot you to the login (text).
Type: root
Password: toor
You still won't have X yet, at least I didn't until I modified my bootloader.
I use grub and it shakes out like this:
Title=BackTrack Linux
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda7 vga=0x317 noapic acpi=off apm=power-off vga=791
The above kernel's parameters are all on ONE line!
hda7 is my partition, change it to yours.
In lilo, I believe it would be something lihe:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = BackTrack Linux
root = /dev/hda2 (or your root patition)
append="vga=0x317 noapic acpi=off apm=power-off vga=791"
This works for me, for root and users. Happy hunting

Gibbs' banter with the press usually teetered somewhere between antagonistic and playful—when not managing to be both at once.
Gibbs said the decision was part of what he called a "routine" review of such clearances.
"We could take him to the gym and drop a weight on his head," Gibbs allegedly told Morlock.
Gibbs knows the people in the pressroom are posturing before they raise their hands.
Doyle also pressed Gibbs for the name of the person at HASC who raised questions about his article.
In all, a financial tribute of thirty-seven pounds three and fourpence was paid to the memory of the late Mr. Gibbs.
It is a little startling to read some more that Mr. Gibbs has to say.

Lower your voice. Send the kids into the other room.
We need to talk about s-e-x.
But, for starters, your personal preferences or prejudices on this topic really don't matter.
Whether you are libertine or somewhat libertarian, censorious or just a bit strait-laced, you should know this county was well-served by law enforcement's investigation into the sex trade at several local coffee huts.
Some people seem willing to shrug at the situation and categorize it as just a little naughtiness, as old as human history.
They are right about one thing: Flesh and sin will continue to be sold, traded and brokered no matter how many brothels, clubs or barista stands are raided. Tamp down prostitution or exploitation in one place and, like an unwelcome tangle of morning glory, it emerges in another.
Most localities, with inconsistent nudges from the judicial branch, have found ways to define and accommodate "legal" adult entertainment. And, yes, sex is an open part of our nation's commercial landscape: TV ads for little blue pills, erotic movies-on-demand at major hotel chains, an array of pornographic Internet web sites and on and on… .
It would be disingenuous to equate the coffee hut raids with the fervent book-burning, film-banning crusades once associated with groups like the National Legion of Decency. What happened in Snohomish County last week was policing.
If information released by law enforcement is accurate, crimes were being committed. And nothing proclaims the corrupt nature of these operations louder than management's alleged willingness to "reward" a sheriff's sergeant for providing tips about police surveillance.
It is unlikely the Java Juggs proprietor and her manager can pretend they were running legal retail outlets — places that put their servers in skimpy outfits simply to attract more coffee drinkers. You don't cut dirty deals with police for that.
And, unless some other explanation emerges, the sergeant probably knew exactly what he was protecting. Those crimes, listed in the jail-booking documents, included promoting and permitting prostitution.
In the sex trade, there seems to be a genealogy of corruption.
The Java Juggs proprietor reportedly had connections with Talents West, a sex-oriented business operated by the Colacurcio family. The family also ran several nude nightclubs, including Honey's in south Snohomish County.
Police agencies spent years investigating vice and organized crime at the Colacurcio clubs, and federal prosecutors eventually shut them down in 2010.
Now, let us accept that sex, itself, is not an evil thing. But as a business model, it again — predictably — appears to have brought corrupt, lewd and criminal behavior into our community.

Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams on Wednesday backed a request from patients and advocates for an independent review of the county's mental health services, following budget cuts that prompted provider Valley Mental Health to bounce some 2,200 clients out of its system and into a search for new providers.
Valley Mental Health announced plans to cut the patients on June 28, citing a cut in the funding it gets from Optum, the managed care company with a contract to run the county's Medicaid-funded system.
The county asked providers to take a 5.5 percent cut in the rates they are paid for treatmentafter it calculated that its budget will not cover the costs anticipated in 2014. Valley decided to focus on caring for only those with acute mental illness. Letters directing other patients to contact an Optum-run 800 number for referrals to new physicians or therapists were sent beginning July 1.
County officials learned of Valley's decision through the news media, McAdams said during a meeting with advocates and Valley clients at his office Wednesday.
"I'm outraged at Valley Mental Health," McAdams said, adding that he has told Valley CEO Gary Larcenaire the move was a poor business decision that was "not compassionate to the 2,000 lives that will be affected."
McAdams plans ask the County Council for funds to conduct an audit of Valley's management, service delivery, communications and fiscal responsibilities during the council's July 30 meeting. McAdams anticipated the audit could be done over three months and said he also is open to an examination of the county, Optum and its management of care providers.
The county learned in late May that state and federal funding for Medicaid would be reduced. County officials believed the rate cut would prevent the county from having to cut any services, the mayor said.
"Other providers were willing to work with us," McAdams said.
Valley took a smaller cut 4.9 percent than others because some of the services it provides are tied to specific Medicaid rules, said Tim Whalen, the county's director of mental health. Without the cuts, the county may have had to seek a tax increase.
Both Larcenaire and Richard Elorreaga, Optum's executive director of public sector solutions, said on Wednesday they welcome an audit.
"I don't think that could ever be a bad thing," Larcenaire said.
Ginger Phillips, a Valley client and peer support specialist who was among those lobbying McAdams for an investigation, cheered the mayor's call for an audit that takes a broad look at services.
"Ultimately the county is responsible for the budget cuts," said Phillips. "We want to know what is happening with Valley and how Optum is managing mental health care in the county."
Optum, which was awarded the county contract to manage mental health services two years ago, has promised a seamless transition for Valley's clients.
But Phillips, other clients and advocates fear the disruption could have dire consequences for fragile mental health clients and could leave some without much-needed care.
"I am concerned for my peers because they are vulnerable," said Phillips. "I believe in consistency when it comes to mental health care. If this was a clinic for cancer patients, or diabetes or a pediatrician's office, we would never see 2,200 clients cut and shipped all around the county."
Salt Lake County and Optum contend Valley's decision to cut the patients is part of its planned change to a business model that focuses on those with severe and persistent mental illness.
Phillips said she initially supported the county's decision to contract with Optum. Valley previously held the contract, and the switch was triggered in part by county officials' frustrations with Valley overseeing its own work. But Phillips said she is now disappointed in Optum's management of services.
"We wanted better mental health care, but maybe we didn't get it," she said. "That's why we need this independent review."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
When it comes to mainstream TV, the techno-savvy rebels at deproduction are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. So when Denver allowed the local nonprofit to take over its three floundering Comcast public-access channels, it turned them into Denver Open Media. Now insomniac Denverites can enjoy late-night showings of The Art of Bellydancing and Words of Peace on Channels 57 and 58, and wannabe Spike Jonzes can take classes and make shows at the new studio at 700 Kalamath Street. But that's just the beginning. DOM head Tony Shawcross promises that people will soon be able to watch and vote on DOM shows online, with the most popular offerings being broadcast on Channel 59. It's like the Nielsen ratings corrupted by YouTube. While the plan has been delayed by glitchy technology and limited funding, DOM urges its fans to stay tuned, because the revolution will be televised.
Rockbar could inspire a confirmed teetotaler to do a swan dive off the wagon within ten minutes of walking through the door. Conjuring the bygone decadence left behind by Perry's -- as the joint was known during the last days of disco -- Rockbar is the ideal place to relive your wasted youth. The decor in this late-'70s time-capsule remains pristinely intact, with exposed rock walls, patterned carpet, foil wallpaper and vintage lighting fixtures. There's also a notable kitsch factor about the place -- the trashy menu, the lowbrow drink selection (Mad Dog and brands of beer you swore you'd never drink again), the neon band-logo signage and the retro tuneage -- that has prompted some detractors to grumble that the brashness is a little too calculated. These people are completely missing the point. For those about to Rock, we salute you.
Recently witnessed at the Horseshoe Lounge: Avery Rains, aka Mr. Pacman, dressed in a full-bodied lion suit, head and paws included, stripping down to a very skimpy and curiously bulged pink thong. True fucking story. Unfortunately, this was a one-off birthday-party gig and not a weekly event, but it does prove how superbly awesome the Horseshoe is for allowing such hilarious debauchery. Outfitted with comfy stools, two booths, a couple of couches, a pool table and a dartboard, the bar is lounge-tastic and tailored for intimate gatherings with good friends. And if you get lucky, maybe Rains will be there and you can entice him into strutting his stuff just for you.
At first blush, the Lure is a swank place. Almost too swank. Hang out there for a while, though, and you start to realize that it's pretty relaxed. Like that really hot blonde in high school that you yearned to talk to but couldn't muster up the courage, there's more to the joint than meets the eye. Remember when you finally got the stones to talk to her and found out that she was into Hunter S. Thompson and dug Tom Waits? Yeah, the Lure is surprisingly cool like that. Instead of being greeted by some huge meathead at the door, the first thing you see is a gang of smiling ladies behind the bar. It's like a grown-up version of the famed City Spirit, which used to inhabit this spot nearly a decade ago.
Arvada's answer to a Colfax dive bar, 12 Volt Tavern has all the grit and attitude of the city -- without the Colfax freaks. Plopped down in the middle of Olde Town Arvada, the Tavern may seem out of place among its better-groomed neighbors, but its well-worn character is completely authentic. Although the place has only been known as by its current name for the past four years, the bar itself has been at the same location for nearly sixty years. The joint is a choice spot for punks and blue-collar barflies to congregate over drinks and games of pool. During the week, the Volt's killer jukebox spits out cuts by Sabbath, Zep, the Clash, the Sex Pistols and Hank Williams. And on the weekends, the bar gets hotwired by a steady parade of local punk and rockabilly acts.
Aztec Sol is best known for its exhaustive collection of more than 200 tequilas, carefully curated by owner Jose Lara. The funky neighborhood spot is a favorite among locals who live and drink on the edge of Highland: Both caballeros and condo-dwellers are drawn by Aztec Sol's cheap eats and potent, imaginative cocktails. In addition to cantaritas and vampiros (two sobriety-slashing tequila creations), the Sol now offers wireless Internet. Sure, the place can be dark and the music loud, but the connection is strong and, like the chips and salsa, free of charge. So log on -- vamonos!

COLUMBIA, SC -- The South Carolina House of Representatives has introduced a bill that would eliminate "junk" food from school vending machines and lunchrooms.
The only beverages that could be sold in vending machines would be water, 100% fruit juices, and fat-free or low-fat milk. The bill also limits puts a cap on the total number of calories allowed in school lunches.
Rep. Bakari Sellers (D-Denmark), who introduced the legislation, said it would help children understand the importance of good nutrition early on and put them on the right track to reduce their chances of developing preventable health problems later in life.
The bill is now in the House Education Committee.

Social Processes: Methodology · Types of test
The Autism Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, is a questionnaire published in 2001 by Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge, UK. Consisting of fifty questions, its purpose is to determine the extent to which an adult of normal intelligence has the traits associated with autism spectrum conditions.
Format Edit
The test consists of fifty statements, each of which is in a forced-choice format. Each question allows the subject to indicate "Definitely agree", "Slightly agree", "Slightly disagree" or "Definitely disagree". Approximately half the questions are worded to elicit an "agree" response from normal individuals, and half to elicit a "disagree" response. The subject scores one point for each question which is answered "autistically" either slightly or definitely.
The questions cover five different domains associated with the autism spectrum: social skills; communication skills; imagination; attention to detail; and attention switching/tolerance of change.
Use as a diagnostic tool Edit
In the initial trials of the test[1] , the average score in the control group was 16.4, with men scoring slightly higher than women (about 17 versus about 15). 80% of adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders scored 32 or more, compared with only 2% of the control group.
The authors cited a score of 32 or more as indicating "clinically significant levels of autistic traits". However, although the test is popularly used for self-diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome, the authors caution that it is not intended to be diagnostic, and advise that anyone who obtains a high score and is suffering some distress should seek professional medical advice before jumping to any conclusions.
A further research paper[2] indicated that the questionnaire could be used for screening in clinical practice, with scores of 26 or lower indicating that a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome can effectively be ruled out.
Mathematicians, scientists, and engineers Edit
The questionnaire was also trialled on Cambridge University students, and a group of sixteen winners of the British Mathematical Olympiad, to determine whether there was a link between a talent for mathematical and scientific disciplines and traits associated with the autism spectrum.
Mathematics, physical sciences and engineering students were found to score significantly higher, e.g. 21.8 on average for mathematicians and 21.4 for computer scientists. The average score for the British Mathematical Olympiad winners was 24.
Of the students who scored 32 or more on the test, eleven agreed to be interviewed and seven of these were reported to meet the DSM-IV criteria for Asperger Syndrome, although no formal diagnosis was made as they were not suffering any distress.

VIA Technologies has announced Mobile-ITX, the latest VIA-developed open form factor specification for the creation of ultra-compact and portable embedded devices.
Mobile-ITX defines a uniquely compact 6cm x 6cm computer-on-module specification designed to enable an easier and less resource intensive development cycle for a range of ultra-compact, portable embedded systems.
Vertical market segments including medical, transportation and military embedded markets have evolved to demand higher miniaturization and portability from today's x86 platforms and VIA's Mobile-ITX form factor can offer a size 50% smaller than its Pico-ITX form factor, which measures 10cm x 7.2cm.
Mobile-ITX employs a modularized design that includes a CPU module card and an I/O carrier board. This offers greater flexibility for developers who can simply drop in the CPU module to a custom designed, application specific carrier board, negating lengthy developmental design and testing phases.

Labour people are starting to come back from their holidays, and they are in a mood little short of despair. Ed Miliband's "summer of silence" and the criticism it has attracted from some of the party's biggest beasts have made for a rather gloomy return for many of their MPs and advisers.
Miliband is relying on two events to reset that narrative and re-energise his party: the conference speech and a reshuffle either soon before or soon after conference. Both timings might seem unfair: just before the conference and new shadow ministers don't have enough time to prepare for interviews and speeches; just after and all the hard pre-conference work is wasted. But such is politics. Read more

Three additions to the card for Cage Warriors 53 in Glasgow on April 13...
Ball smashes Cooledge IMO. Marin V Seery is a FANTASTIC fight. Good work guys. Nice contrast in styles.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
And yeah Seery/Marin is going to be very, very interesting
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
From what I read and watch online I rate Calderwood very highly indeed. Happy she is matched.
Marin vs Seery is a sick, sick fight. This is why I love CW. Hopefully we'll see the winner involved in June's FlyW tourney.
Ball is a gamer too. Three losses to three very tough fighters in his last three (real) fights, all by decision. Sick KO of Pete Duncan prior to that too...still remember the sound that made from cage side...ouch.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Card is looking awsome........defo going to this.

Given how Mike Wallace 's season has gone, perhaps this is a blessing in disguise? The Dolphins' big-money wide receiver was added to the injury report on Thursday with a hamstring injury. It is not known when Wallace suffered the injury or how severe it is. His status will be updated Friday. The Dolphins match up against the Chargers' 28th-ranked pass defense Sunday.
Fantasy Analysis:
You would think that losing Wallace would hurt this offense, especially since it has suffered so many injuries and setbacks already. But Wallace has one touchdown this year and hasn't topped 90 yards since Week 5. He showed minimal interest during Monday night's loss to the Buccaneers. This is a matchup that he should take advantage of, but maybe it's for the best that fantasy owners might not have to think about going back to the Wallace well yet again. As you know, hamstring injuries are stubborn and can take considerable time to heal. We'll see if Wallace takes part in any practice Friday.
If Wallace misses this game, Brian Hartline would be the de facto No. 1 WR, but Rishard Matthews , he of the 11 catches and two touchdowns from last week, would be worth a shot in deeper leagues. San Diego has given up an average of 280 passing yards per game.

Addiction Counselor
Stephen Price, D.Min.
Licensed Pastoral Psychotherapist
133 Grove Street, Peterborough, New Hampshire
As creatures of habit and as human beings with stress and frustration and emotional pain we can easily get into a pattern of taking some brain/mood altering substance or behavior(such as cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, sex, over exercise) that makes us feel good for the moment and escape our problems. Particularly if addiction runs in the family we can become addicted and lose control. Addiction seems to take over and run our life. Denial is a major symptom of addiction where we sometimes think we have control and can stop when, in fact, we can't. My approach to helping people deal with their addiction is to make sure they participate in a detox and rehabilitation program either as an inpatient

From paper that sees everyday use, such as printer paper and ruled pads, to receipt rolls, Quill has the inventory to keep your office running smoothly.
As much as we depend on our smart devices—phones, tablets, computers—to get us through the day, there's no escaping paper. Sometimes it's required—say, if you have to file a hard copy of a document with a governmental office. Or other times clients request it, perhaps to keep a copy of a contract for their records. Printer paper, copy paper, computer paper: Companies often need a variety of paper types on hand for office needs. But having a supply at the ready doesn't mean you have to overpay for all your printing paper needs. Quill has a range of options, including bulk printer paper and recycled paper, to fit your budget, storage constraints, and office setup.
Most workplaces have a copy machine. How much copy paper you go through depends on what you do and how big your office is. But no matter the quantity—from a ream to multiple cartons—at Quill you'll find a variety of affordable price points.
Offices tend to choose between laser and inkjet when deciding on printers, and the printer paper for both of those machines has different attributes. We carry a variety of brands of both types so you can make a choice based on what's best for you.
At Quill, we pride ourselves on meeting your needs for standard paper, and for specialty papers, too. That's why you'll find ruled pads (also available in bulk so you can stock up and save), recycled paper in a variety of types, and other machine–specific options, too. For example, we have hard–to–find wide–format paper, continuous paper, and receipt paper—all on one website, just a click away. Turn to Quill to meet all your paper needs—now and in the future.

Conservative Coming Out DayMore Activism Ideas
This event for general conservative groups is an excellent play off Gay/Lesbian coming out of the closet events and will probably be met with serious opposition or even protest. However, this is designed draw attention to the bias against conservatism on college campuses. It also serves as a great tool for member recruitment and conservative identification and can be held at any time of the year.
For this event, set up a "conservative safe zone," where conservatives can gather and converse, including recruitment tables with general information on what conservatism is. Some groups have set up microphones so conservatives can give testimonials about the difficulty of being conservative on campus.
NOTE: Be careful when allowing someone to take the microphone; this could backfire if what they say is inappropriate. It might be advisable to only give the microphone to trusted group members, or at the very least to find out in advance what each of your speakers intends to say at your event.
1. Collect the materials needed for the event. You will need to purchase yellow caution tape to make the "conservative safe zone," acquire a microphone, speakers, and any other relevant sound equipment, a table and any flyers and pamphlets you wish to hand out.
2. Reserve space on campus for the event. Contact the Student Activities Office and attempt to reserve the most high-traffic area available.
3. Invite allied organizations. Ask other organizations on campus or in the outside community you think would be interested in celebrating conservatism to contribute to the purchase of supplies or set up a booth by your informational table. This is a great way to strengthen cooperation between different groups in the conservative movement, and to increase attendance and volunteers in the form of members of the other groups.
4. Advertise! Success depends on how well you publicize your event, so you should advertise early and often. This doesn't necessarily mean paid advertising; "earned media" may work even better for you. Click here to learn several important publicity measures to use before, during, and after the event.
5. Prepare for opposition. Keep a video camera available at all times, and record any aggression – both verbal and physical. If some behaves belligerently, ask why he or she objects to your exercise of your right to free speech. For more information on how to deal with opposition on campus, reference "Fight Back."
6. Create a schedule. Organize which people will be at the event at what time. Make sure you have at least one person who can talk to the media there or available to be immediately contacted at all times; you never know when members of the media will appear.
7. Celebrate conservatism! Make sure your group members remain enthusiastic, positive, and welcoming throughout the event. As noted above, be very careful of who is allowed to use the microphone.
8. Advertise! (again) The fact that your event is over does not mean that your public relations work is done. Earned media can be extremely useful to you. Click here to learn several important follow-up publicity measures to do after the event is finished.
