That's confusing! So we thought we could help clear things up by reviewing his review. What Is It?Close to a thousand words about Nokia's cheapest Windows Phone 8 handset, written by a blogger hired by Nokia to write about Nokia products on a Nokia blog.Who's It For?People Googling the Internet wondering whether the Nokia Lumia 620 is a piece of junk.DesignThe layout of the review makes for easy reading, with three photos illustrating how the handset is "compact, vibrant, and lots of fun."Using ItThe post is designed to be read as an expert review of a smartphone, aimed at helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions. It contains ample Nokia fawning cloaked in your standard gadget writer tropes, so it's easy to confuse this public relations flackery as a real review.The Best PartFraser's unbridled enthusiasm for a product he has been paid to write positive things about:Tragic FlawNo matter how earnest he sounds, he works for Nokia. It's like Coke saying Coke Zero is a really good soda, or Communism getting five stars from Mao.This Is Weird...Nokia reviewed its own phone? Also this part of the review about a dark alley: Advertisement Advertisement Right now, I'm loving the Cinemagraph app. Here's my first attempt, down a dark alley GIF What are you doing in a dark alley?Test NotesRead for about 10 minutes at my desk shortly after the review was published.The review did not convince me that purchasing the phone was a good idea.These passages say basically everything you need to know: Worth noting that you only get on of these shells inbox, the others have to be bought separately. I got all of them as a special delivery from Helsinki!Dual-shot is the term we're using to describe the blending of our CMYK palette to create new and exciting colours. For example, for the glossy lime we used a yellow polycarbonate base colour and overlaid it with a transparent cyan one. From the front, you'll see a double layer of colours, but from any other angle, all you can see is a vibrant, luscious lime colour.As is usual with any new phone, there's a brief process of selecting times and dates, as well as the option to sign in to your Microsoft account, something you'll need if you want to purchase any of the over 125,000 apps or games available on the Windows Phone Store.Should You Buy It?Don't buy a word that comes out of Adam Fraser's mouth. As for the phone? You probably shouldn't buy that either."Compact, vibrant, and lots of fun: our Nokia Lumia 620 review"• Words: 936 • Images: 6, full color • Screen: 921,000 dot, three-inch AMOLED • Gizrank: 2Reply73 repliesLeave a reply

Posted By Sean Eckhardt On Sep 28 2012 @ 1:59 pm In Minnesota Vikings | No Comments
The Vikings have been nothing but unpredictable during the first part of this season. When it looks like they are about to lose, they win. Then it appears that they are about to win and a rookie QB takes them down in the final seconds. And of course last week, Minnesota hosted San Francisco in a game nobody gave them a real chance, so they came out and beat up the mighty 49er's. This week the Vikings are headed to Detroit to take on the Lions. This will be the first divisional game for both teams and could potentially mark a very important point in Minnesota's season. Last season the Vikes went 0-6 in the NFC North and you can't expect to be a playoff team if you can't beat teams in your own division.
If Minnesota wants to win on Sunday, they have to keep the Lions offense under control. While Detroit might be 1-2 this year, they have the #1 rated passing offense in the NFL with 334YPG. The Vikings have to find a way to keep Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson from making too many big plays. The easiest way to do that is to keep pressure on the Lions' QB. He is nursing a hip injury and has been prone to make mistakes this season with four interceptions in the first three games. Look for Jared Allen to have his first big game of 2012.
On offense, expect Minny to try to maintain what they did against SF, which is good balance and mistake-free football. Adrian Peterson said this week that he now feels like 100%. That's always good news for the Vikings. Even better has been the play of Christian Ponder so far this season. The QB has been a model of efficiency, completing over 70% of his passes with 4TD's and no INT's. His QB rating this season is 104.9, which is among the top 5 in the league. Kyle Rudolph and Percy Harvin have been Ponder's favorite targets so far, and he gets an additional receiver this week, as Jerome Simpson(an offseason free agent signing) will be coming off his 3-game league suspension. It will be Simpson's first regular season action in a Viking uniform. While I don't expect huge things from him in this game, it will great for Percy Harvin to have some of the defensive attention deflected away from #12.
This is an important game for the Vikings. They will be looking for their first road win of the season and their first division win in two years. But Detroit needs this game very badly, so Minnesota better come focused if they want to walk out with a win. If Ponder and the Vikings D play well, I expect a win, but a very tight one.

In room menu is very affordable but there is almost nothing to choose from. Very bad internet connection. And of course, don't be filled by the name - it has nothing to do with the plaza hotel.

Four days of fun and hands-on career-oriented activities recently wrapped up for 48 local junior high-aged kids who attended the Cuesta College Career Technical Education (CTE) Summer Camp, which was held June 10-13, on the San Luis Obispo campus. The participating 7th and 8th grade campers let the sparks fly via welding exercises, took part in a search and rescue demonstration with local volunteer dogs, built balsa wood gliders and played "The Real Game;" an activity intended to show the kids just how much money is necessary to sustain a desired lifestyle.
"It was shocking to learn how much it takes to do certain things," said 12-year-old Bella Yaguda, who aspires to be a biology technician. "I realized I had to put the horse I wanted back."
"This camp was very fun for the kids but also gave them a dose of reality," said camp director and Cuesta College CTE faculty member Sabrina Robertson. "It provided them with opportunities to learn about careers they may not have known existed, as well as foster passions for areas they are already are interested in."
The majority of the activities focused on business, health, information science and welding. The camp was offered at no cost and funded through SB70/SB1133. There are plans to hold the camp again next summer.

William Plumer (June 25, 1759 – December 22, 1850) was an American lawyer and Baptist lay preacher from Epping, New Hampshire. Born in 1759 in Newburyport in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, he represented New Hampshire as a Federalist in the United States Senate from June 17, 1802 to March 3, 1807. Plumer later became a Democratic-Republican and served as Governor of New Hampshire, 1812–1813 and 1816–1819. He also served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
In the 1820 presidential election, he cast the only dissenting vote in the Electoral College against incumbent President James Monroe, voting instead for John Quincy Adams. While some accounts say that this was to ensure that George Washington remained the only American president unanimously chosen by the Electoral College, others assert that he was instead calling attention to his friend Adams as a potential future presidential candidate, or protesting against the "wasteful extravagance" of the Monroe Administration. Plumer also eschewed voting for Daniel D. Tompkins for Vice President as "grossly intemperate" and having "not that weight of character which his office requires," and also "because he grossly neglected his duty" in his "only" official role as president of the Senate by being "absent nearly three-fourths of the time."[1] Plumer instead voted for Richard Rush.
In 1803, Plumer was one of several New England Federalists who proposed secession from the United States due to lack of support for Federalists, rising influence of Jeffersonian Democrats and the diminished influence of the North due to the Louisiana Purchase. Recalling his involvement in the secession scheme in 1827, Plumer said, "This was, I think, the greatest political error of my life: & would, had it been reduced to practise [sic], instead of releiving [sic], destroyed New England....Fortunately for my own reputation the erroneous opinion I formed produced no bitter fruits to myself or my country."[2]
Plumer was a founder and the first president of the New Hampshire Historical Society. He was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1815.[3] Plumer died in Epping on December 22, 1850, and was buried at the Plumer Family Cemetery in Epping.
William Plumer was the father of William Plumer, Jr., who served in the United States House of Representatives.

Fb- is the father
this wiki
"fb- is the father" was a meme in the early days of Fark. A user going by the handle "fb-" submitted an article discussing the birth of a child to celebrity Liz Hurley, appending "fb- is the father" to the end of his headline. The meme quickly spread, often showing up in headlines for articles on other famous births, births of certain types of baby animals, and so forth.
In the mid-2000s, the user "fb-" was banned. The string "fb- is the father" was eventually added to the Fark filter, so that the phrase would be automatically eliminated from any submission. Evidence of the phrase can be seen via Google searches, and some threads that mention it remain in the archives (example ).
"fb- is the father" did not appear in a headline on Fark again until June 22, 2011 in thread 6318196 (thread ). The most recent appearance was on March 4, 2014 in thread 8165155 (thread ), "Scarlett Johanson expecting her first child. fb- is the father".

I am trying to deploy and sign blackberry 10 app. The app signed successfully using webworks 184.108.40.206. But, when I tried to sign the app using webworks 184.108.40.206, it shows the message below:

Done build
error response - {"code":1,"msg":"[ERROR] Error: Code signing request failed because [_sys_use_consumer_push] in Entry-Point-System-Actions is not allowed.\n"
According to the article in http://devblog.blackberry.com/2012/11/push-permiss
Have you signed up for Push Services? If so you should have received an email to the address registered with your account with steps needed to request this permission.
Yes, I have signed up for Push Services (for test environment, not production).
But, I didn't receive any emails about this issue.
Here is a copy of the original email sent from email@example.com:
"Dear Developers,
Research In Motion is committed to continually improving the developer experience and today we wanted to inform you about a change that may impact your applications that use our push service. As we roll out the BlackBerry 10 platform we will be integrating the push service with our code signing solution with the goal of streamlining the processes/activities you need to do when signing up for services like push.
In order to complete this transition without any interruption to your existing apps that you have, or are planning to developer on BlackBerry 10 we will need you to provide us with email address you are using to code sign your applications. This will be the email address you used when you completed the BlackBerry Keys Order form here. Once complete we will automatically apply the appropriate push permissions to your code signing key. This is expected to be a onetime only process and information on future push service account requests will be made available shortly.
Your prompt response will help us ensure there is no interruption to any active BlackBerry 10 development which utilizes push service.
Thank you
BlackBerry Push Services Team"

I have sent an email to firstname.lastname@example.com about the email address that we using in signing key registration form.How many days does it usually take to process the permissions?
I have another question about the push services.
I want to register push services to production environment.
There is a field 'Over-the-air Download Link' but I just plan to publish it on BlackBerry AppWorld.
What link should I fill to the form?
Could I use the evaluation and production push service in the same time?
So, I can develop the new feature of the application using evaluation (testing) environment and user still get push notification from the current application (published application).
The process is new, but I wouldn't expect it to take more than a couple of days in total to complete.
For the OTA download link, this is really just meant for BlackBerry OS 7.1 and lower applications, for BlackBerry 10 you should just enter your company's URL.
EVAL and PROD can be used at the same time but EVAL will expire after a few months.
Hi gbeukeboom,
I sent an email to email@example.com last Wednesday about the registered email for push services and signing key. But, I don't receive any response from BlackBerry Push Services Team. Could you help me to get push permission to existing signing key as soon as possible? I really need it to develop BB10 application.
Hi Garette,
Maybe you can help me out. I am encountering the same issue with my signing keys permission. I sent an email to email@example.com a few days ago but haven't heard back regarding the permissions. They only pointed me to the signing keys applications page but i already have keys I just need the Push permission on the key.
Any suggestions?
Jerome Carty just sent me a Tweet about you
Fire me a PM with your code signing email and, if you have it, the client ID of your keys. I'll get the permission added by tomorrow.

You see, last night I threw away a bean and cheese burrito. It was from a local place, wrapped in good all-american foil. I often do this at the end of a night of eating, throwing away my leftovers and saying to myself, "Okay, tomorrow I'll start eating healthy again." WELL I got home tonight after work and class and thought to myself, "HOLY FUCK THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD BURRITO JUST SITTING IN THE TRASH!" HOWEVER The litter was changed last night (two cats, lol) and the bag of litter sat on top of my burrito. All night. HERE IS MY LOGIC: The burrito was wrapped in foil. The litter was encased in a thick plastic bag. The burrito is safe. MY QUESTION IS THIS: Should I eat the burrito?
it was probably barely edible when it was served and now it hasn't been properly refrigerated for 24 hours. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
if the burrito were on a table or counter, then i'd say go for it. in a trash bag under cat litter? you gonna get worms son. butt'werms.
I remember trying to stop my dog from eating the kitty litter encrusted poopy from the litter box when I was young. I was not successful.

Comments on the paper Equilibrium Selection via Adaptation: Using Genetic Programming to Model Learning in a Coordination , by Chen, Duffy and Yeh
The cited paper uses Genetic Programming (GP) to simulate a well known coordination game, replicating some of the results observed in experiments. This short note suggests that the results presented in the paper cited in the title can be obtained in a much simpler way, due to the action of random actions and selection only. I implemented the same environment as in the original model, replacing the GP originally used with randomly choosing agents. A simple selection mechanism removes least performing agents replacing them with new ones that choose their action randomly. The results obtained do not differ from the ones presented in the original paper. The model used for these notes is distributed as example model in Laboratory for Simulation Development .

Witt-Enderby Conducting Bone Loss Trial
Duquesne University Times
Three years ago, Dr. Paula Witt-Enderby, professor of pharmacology, conducted a clinical study that examined whether melatonin, a natural molecule released nightly in the body and a popular over-the-counter sleep aid, could help prevent bone loss in healthy women entering menopause. The answer was yes.
Building on this study, Witt-Enderby's work, now in collaboration with Mark Swanson, co-investigator and a naturopathic physician, has moved from prevention to treatment. With a Mylan School of Pharmacy translational research grant and a study formulation from Pure Encapsulations Inc. of Sudbury, Mass., Witt-Enderby's team will conduct a clinical trial, starting in August, to examine whether a formulation of melatonin, strontium citrate and vitamins D3 and K2 can treat bone loss in women with thinning bones (osteopenia).
"Strontium has profound health promoting effects in most organs and tissues of the body, including bone. We hypothesize that melatonin will have an enhancing or 'synergistic' effect with strontium in bone that is greater than strontium alone and at a one-third lower dose," Witt-Enderby said, explaining that the mineral strontium's impact on bone formation is much more powerful than calcium's. "We think it makes better bone sense when given all together at night to produce a time-dependent enhancement of bone formation or 'chrono-synergy' effect.
"Current drug treatments for osteoporosis are not ideal," Witt-Enderby said. "They have only a 30 percent compliance rate, which really drops after six months. What's needed is a convenient, safer and better-tolerated treatment. Many women are worried about having to take a powerful drug for months to years before they see results, so a more natural treatment is appealing. In the end, it's all about safely preventing fractures and improving quality of life."
The trial, starting in August, will be based in the Center for Pharmacy Care located in the Muldoon Building at 1000 Fifth Ave.
Members of Witt-Enderby's team include graduate assistant Sifat Maria, and professors Drs. Holly Lasilla and Chris O'Neil.
For the double-blind, placebo-controlled study, Witt-Enderby seeks 20 female postmenopausal volunteers who have been diagnosed with osteopenia-related bone loss and who are considering treatment to increase bone density.
Participants in the yearlong trial will receive:
Two free DXA scans to measure lumbar spine and hip bone density
Free blood tests for bone formation cells, vitamin D3 and melatonin levels
Free clinical health assessments, symptom and quality of life questionnaires
Free study medications
Free parking.
Each study participant will be asked to keep a diary and complete seven visits. For more information about participating, contact Maria.

(RSF/IFEX) - On 12 August 2010, the Indian authorities told Research In Motion (RIM), the Canadian company that makes the BlackBerry smartphone, that it has until 31 August to provide India's intelligence agencies with access to BlackBerry's encrypted email and messaging services or else those services will be shut down in India.
Although the demand is being made in the name of national security, it reflects a desire to monitor and even filter communications. But India is taking advantage of the pressure being put on RIM by other countries to blackmail the company itself.
The Indian authorities are using the fact that Islamist militants employed mobile phones and satellite phones to carry out the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people. This kind of technology can be put to harmful use, the authorities argue.
On 13 August, the "Financial Time"s speculated that the Indian authorities could also demand access to other encrypted networks such as Google and Skype.
RIM tried to reassure users in a statement on 12 August, saying it was doing its best to cooperate with governments and satisfy national security concerns while protecting the rights of consumers and corporate clients. It reaffirmed its intention not to reach any specific agreements with individual governments.
Saudi Arabia is meanwhile still allowing BlackBerry's instant messaging service to operate. The Saudi authorities had decided to suspend it on 6 August, but the blocking lasted only a few hours. Talks aimed at finding a compromise are apparently continuing.
RIM is nonetheless already cooperating with certain countries. It agreed at the start of August to block access in Kuwait to more than 3,000 porn sites.

San Cristóbal de las Casas is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Chiapas. Located in the geographical center of the state, San Cristóbal allows guests to easily visit places like the Lagos de Montebello, Sumidero Canyon, Indigenous Villages, Palenque, Chiapa de Corzo and many more interesting localities.
Lagos de Montebello – El Chiflón The tour makes its first stop at the impressive Whistler waterfall Chiflón or The Bride's Veil. Also visiting some of the most impressive lakes in a forested landscape near the border with Guatemala.
Length – 9am to 8pm
Suggestion – Take home chocolate, coffee or cheese from Montebello. Indigenous communities in the area produce these three products locally. This is a good opportunity to acquire high quality products.
Cañón del Sumidero – Chiapa de Corzo A journey of 22km on the Grijalva River to see the impressive Sumidero Canyon, the landscape is simply stunning, so much that the Sumidero Canyon has been considered as one of the Wonders of the World. Visit Chicoasén Dam and do not miss the opportunity to photograph local wildlife including crocodiles in their natural habitat and visit the oldest city in Chiapas, Chiapa de Corzo.
Length – 9am to 3pm approximately
Suggestion – Chiapa de Corzo is one of the best cities in the country to eat, we recommend visiting a typical place for a bite.
San Juan Chamula – Zinacantán Visit two of the most traditional villages in Chiapas. The first stop is the mystical town of San Juan Chamula. You can visit the Church of San Juan Chamula, unique in the world by the syncretism of Christian beliefs mixed with the concept of ancient gods. Chamula is a bit darker, but just 20 minutes from Chamula find a completely different community, Zinacantán. A textile village where locals are very hospitalizing and offer you to see their looms and have a look at their products.
Length – 9am to 3pm approximately
Suggestion – We suggest you try the traditional drink, the posh. A spirit made of distilled maize. We also encourage guests to follow very well the instructions of the guides and not visit the town on your own. There are certain places as the church of San Juan Chamula where you cannot take pictures.

The three Republican candidates battled toward a potentially close finish in the Senate primary on Tuesday while an illness knocked Representative Stephen F. Lynch off the campaign trail on the critical last day of his challenge to Representative Edward J. Markey.
A stomach bug forced Lynch to cancel six of the seven events he had planned for the day before the primary, a time when all five candidates were pushing to create a sense of momentum in a race that has been overshadowed by the Boston Marathon bombings.
As the candidates made stops across the state, two Democratic groups dispatched camera-wielding operatives to track Gabriel E. Gomez, a sign that the former Navy SEAL may be gaining on the perceived front-runner, Michael J. Sullivan.

News Release
Garbage rates to go down
At a time when rates on most services are going up, Bellevue residents and businesses will see a slight reduction in their garbage rates, effective Jan. 1. Allied Waste Services, the city's contractor, reported that garbage and yard debris collection service will cost 1.9 to 2.1 percent less for residents and 2.7 to 3 percent less for businesses, depending on level of service. A typical residential customer will pay $17.28 per month for one 32-gallon cart service in 2010, compared to the current rate of $17.63. There's more variation in garbage collection for commercial customers, so they could see a decrease ranging from a couple of dollars to a couple of hundred dollars. Allied's contract with the city allows for adjustments in rates based on certain variables, such as the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI), changes in King County's disposal fees and diesel fuel prices. The garbage rate is going down because the CPI in 2009 was negative and diesel fuel prices were lower than the surcharge previously agreed upon by Allied and the city.
Allied sent letters to all customers about the decrease. Customers can cut garbage costs further by recycling more and downsizing to a smaller garbage container.

Nasdaq Crashed. The New Economy Didn't
The Nasdaq bubble has burst, and the New Economy is dead. Listen to the recession talk emanating from Wall Street and Washington these days, and that's the implied message. Don't believe it. Wall Street economists who consistently failed to predict the high-growth, low-inflation years of the '90s can't wait to say it was all a financial mirage. And Washington policymakers seeking huge income-tax cuts can't wait to bad-mouth the economic gains of recent years.
The basic truth is that the New Economy was always about productivity gains and still is. Nothing has changed. It's not about dot-com mania but the broad expanse of Old Economy corporations embracing new technologies and enhancing their performance. The Nasdaq collapse doesn't change this. In a paper given at the recent annual meeting of the American Economic Assn., Stanford University economics professor Robert E. Hall went so far as to argue that the dot-com blowup wasn't a speculative bubble at all but a rational market response. He said that the main reason that stocks of new Internet companies soared to wild valuations in the first place was that investors initially believed only startups would be able to harness the productivity enhancement of information technologies. When Old Economy companies surprised everyone by showing they could implement the same technologies, investors realized their mistake. They saw that the benefits of information technology were accruing to the big users of it, not necessarily brash young dot-coms with unorthodox new business models. Valuations suddenly appeared ridiculously high for the startups, and their stocks imploded.
We think Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan played a big role skimming the froth off the markets with his rate hikes. Greenspan believes there is a huge difference between overinflated stock prices and real productivity gains. Even as the Fed recently cut rates to buttress declining economic growth, it emphasized that advances in technology and productivity gains continue unabated.
The same message will soon be found in the Clinton Administration's last Economic Report of the President. It will show that productivity gains are spreading far from the information technology sector into all areas of the economy, such as trucking, retail and wholesale trade, and health care. This is what CEOs had been saying for most of the '90s, even before official government statistics showed a jump in productivity growth from an average of 1.6% for the '70s and '80s to twice that in recent years.
CEOs are still singing the productivity tune, and that is the song that people should listen to, not the Cassandra-like croakings of the naysayers. Beneath the downturn in this New Economy business cycle, structural productivity gains roll on.

PGA TOUR WHAT IT MEANS: April 29, 2012 — New Orleans
Posted By Jeremy Schilling On Apr 29 2012 @ 8:58 pm In PGA | No Comments
Here's this week's What It Means:
1) Congrats to Jason Dufner, winning his first PGA Tour event, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans today on the second playoff hole. They say it's better to be lucky than good and that's Dufner, getting lip ins on 13, 15 and 17 for par and then birdieing the second playoff hole, #18, to beat Ernie Els in the playoff.
Dufner is very hard to read, doesn't really crack a smile and at times looks very shaky. I'm not sure where he goes from here, but getting your first win is a good starting point.
2) Meanwhile you have to feel for Ernie Els. He had two great chances to win on 18, both on the first playoff hole and regulation, and couldn't make the putts — the story of the last two years, really for Els. But you can't totally fault the putter, as it saved him many times today as he was just a little off in the ball striking.
I hope he wins again and he wins soon, because I'm worried that all these crushing defeats could hurt Els chances to contend and win another major, which is what all of us desperately want to see.
3) Luke Donald, by finishing third, is number one in the world again, as we yo-yo back and forth between him and Rory McIlroy at the top, all because of the way the rankings work. It's stupid, but it's happening, and we have to live with it this way.

We spent this past weekend with a lot of friends in the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. While I'm definitely a beach person, the mountains were beautiful too.
We rented a huge cabin and had a great time! I volunteered to bring chili and decided some cornbread muffins would be a good accompaniment.
Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the chili when I made it or on Saturday so scenery and muffins will have to do this time. The chili turned out really well and for future reference if you ever have to transport a large amount of chili (I made about 12 quarts) or you just want to make it ahead of time and freeze it; transfer the cooked chili to gallon size freezer bags and freeze it flat. Then just reheat in a crockpot or on the stove. The recipe below is cut in half to make a "normal" amount of chili but this would still serve about 10 people and fill a 6 qt crock pot.
Smoky Mountain Chili
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo
1/2 lb Italian sausage
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 oz dark beer
1 green pepper, diced
3 jalapenos, finely diced
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn kernels (frozen)
1 T ancho chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground cumin
Brown meat in a large dutch oven or skillet over medium high heat, crumbling with a wooden spatula. Drain off grease and transfer meat to a bowl. Return pan to heat and add onions and garlic. Cook about 2 minutes and add beer to deglaze the pan, scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan and let the majority of the beer cook off. Transfer to a crockpot if desired. Reduce heat to medium-low and add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans and stir to combine. Add corn, peppers and spices and cook for at least 60 minutes covered on the stove, stirring occasionally or 3-4 hours on low in the crockpot. Stir in tomato paste as necessary to thicken to desired consistency.
Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, Fritos, etc. as desired.
Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
Recipe slightly adapted from Elly Says Opa originally from Cooks Illustrated
Makes 18 muffins
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I used Martha White)
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (Monterrey jack, colby, and cheddar)
1-2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray muffin tins with baking spray. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk together. Make a well in the center.
In a food processor, combine, corn, sugar and buttermilk and pulse several times. Add eggs and blend until well mixed, the batter will be lumpy from the corn. Pour wet ingredients into well in dry ingredients and begin to gently combine. Add melted butter and continue mixing just until dry ingredients are all mixed in. Stir in cheese and jalapenos.
Spoon into muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 of the way full and bake about 20-25 minutes until the tops spring back when touched. Cool in pans for about 5 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Serve warm with chili and butter or store in an airtight container.

©2001 Michael Shermer; (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc.
"His treatment of Carl Sagan, fearless navigator of scientific borderlands, is stellar, as is his chapter on racial differences....The book provides grist for the mill of thought and debate." (Publishers Weekly)
"Shermer writes accessibly about common scientific misperceptions." (Booklist)
On Audible since the late 1990s, mostly science fiction, fantasy, history & science. I rarely review 1-2 star books that I can't get through
"Unabridged Indeed"
This audiobook is a mess. I am a fan of Shermer's work, in general, though he is not always a particularly great writer, he is usually interesting. In retrospect, I guess his books work because you can read the good parts and skip his rambling transitions and rather incoherent connections between topics. Not so in the audiobook, where you have to listen to sentence after tedious sentence as he uses repeated examples to attempt to differentiate good borderland science from nonsense, without having a strong central thesis. There are better listens, read this if you are interested, but don't bother slogging through the audio.
its hard to get a honest review of a book about reason in a world where d chopra's book is listed in the (audible.com b and nobles and amazons) nonfiction section.... shermer is a clear thinker and an important writer. an ejoyabe book for every level. cleverly and repectfully helps all of us to understand the crutial differences between hard facts and soft feelings.
"Misleading description"
I was expecting an objective tour of current controversial experiments. Something about Intelligent Design, Cold Fusion and/or dark matter. Instead we get a lengthy discussion of Alfred Russel Wallace's (co-discoverer of Natural Selection with Darwin) life and personality. The author did his PhD thesis on Wallace and apparently wanted to get some extra mileage out of it.
Rather than an exploration of the actual borderlands of science, we get an attempt to describe an archetypal inhabitant of the borderlands. What sort of education, relationships, birth order etc create the "heretic personality" that will wind up in research projects that run contrary to mainstream thinking?
I don't think he is wrong in his conclusions, but I was very disappointed to find a dry psychology book disguised as a popular science text.
"Like a mosaic"
The title may be deceiving. The book is like a mosaic, never gets focused on some specific area. It was a great joy to learn lots of valuable details on "History of Science" from my favorite author M.Shermer. But I think, I expected something more.
"A rambling man."
This book has some good insight and history mixed in with the author's rambling on and of topic. I would only choose it if you cannot find anything captivating or you need to argue a point with a psuedo-scientist.
"A little disappointed. History of Darwin?"
I really was lost and bored by the lengthy discussions of Darwin and Wallace. I'm still not sure what this book was about. Probably my limited attending, however, it was disappointing.
Doctor Bull
"Who makes an audiobook of a book with figures?"
I began by searching for all of Grover Gardner's books, then picked the best of those that I had not heard. He's in my top 3! He did not disappoint in this work. I wonder if Audible could cross-reference all three of Grover's noms de lire? It would be nice if a search for Grover Gardner, narrator also listed Tom Parker's and Alexander Adam's works.
This book is actually a collection of essays called chapters. The chapters/essays pretty much follow the same theme, but only loosely in some cases. The big surprise came when Grover made reference to a figure numbered in the thirties! There had been no figures 1-29, so I sussed that I was listening to a collection of smaller works. Grover didn't attempt to describe the figures, but I think I figured it out anyway.
By the way, before I started listening I wondered why Michael Shermer's name was so familiar to me. RAAM!
Life long learner of all sorts of things.
"Oh my..."
I am somewhat disappointed to be honest. Usually, the author is 1,2,3 kind of person. With this, do not expect a sign post type book. It is somewhat hard to track, and I can not say I am happy with it. Best to spend your credits elsewhere I think

CHOC strives to normalize hospital experience.
Since its beginnings in 1964, Children's Hospital of Orange County has treated more than 2 million children from Orange County, across the nation and three other countries.
The county's leading pediatric hospital has earned national recognition for both its medical accomplishments and its ability to create a comforting atmosphere for children and their families despite the scary circumstances that bring them to it.
When Charlotte Jordan and her parents began their medical journey at CHOC in 2010, the physicians, nurses and child-life specialists made the hospital off Main Street in Orange feel like a second home.
"I've never been alone in this since meeting this team at CHOC," said Lindsay Jordan, Charlotte's mom. "We have a second family who is there to see us at our worst days in the hospital and celebrate the milestones with us."
This kind of holistic care is appreciated. Orange County Register daily subscribers earmarked $130,000 in advertising for CHOC through the newspaper's Golden Envelope program.
By the time she was 3, Charlotte was perpetually sick. Her growth was stunted, her stomach was distended, and she was showing signs of hypoglycemia – low blood sugar.
"I'd go into the various pediatricians and tell them something's wrong," Lindsay Jordan said. "They would tell me she was fine. I even had a doctor tell me I was lying once."
At CHOC, Charlotte's new physicians ran blood and DNA tests. Six weeks later, the Jordans got her diagnosis: glycogen storage disease 1A.
The rare metabolic disease prevents Charlotte's liver from properly producing glucose.
Left untreated, Charlotte could face severe hypoglycemia that would further stunt her physical growth and prevent her organs from developing properly.
The Child Life Department at CHOC, responsible for normalizing the hospital experience for patients and families as much as possible, plays an integral part in Charlotte's treatment. Child-life specialists use services including therapeutic medical play and pet and music therapy to educate children and families as the children go through procedures, surgeries, diagnosis and therapy.
Sam Martoia is Charlotte's child-life specialist, often referred to by Charlotte, now 6, as "my girl Sam."
The two met in 2011 and worked together on weekends, generally engaging in medical play and other bedside activities.
"The level of care for families and everyone involved is key," Martoia said. "We treat kids like kids and try to make the hospital a less scary place for them. This way we can provide the best care for families."
"Sam is the epitome of all the great things at CHOC," Lindsay Jordan said.
Those "great things" include a 238-bed hospital facility in Orange, a hospital-within-a-hospital in Mission Viejo, primary and specialty care clinics, and more than 100 programs.
The hospital's website also outlines four specialty institutes:
The Hyundai Cancer Institute is dedicated to covering all the needs of the child being treated for cancer – emotional, spiritual and physical – through a family-centered approach.
The Heart Institute is the only regional facility that performs neonatal and pediatric open heart surgery. Physicians also provide treatment for children with all forms of heart disease.
The Neuroscience Institute evaluates and treats neurological disorders, has a rare epilepsy program, and provides the only regional baclofen pump program, a pediatric neuroscience inpatient unit.
The Orthopaedic Institute also is regionally one of a kind, providing diagnosis and treatment of complex orthopedic injuries, illness and disorders.

TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) -- The cleanup of an unknown amount of thick, sticky oil that spilled into the Galveston Bay blocked the movement Sunday of about 60 ships, including three cruise ships, between the Gulf of Mexico and one of the world's busiest petrochemical transportation waterways.
A barge carrying nearly a million gallons of marine fuel oil sprung a leak after colliding with a ship Saturday afternoon in the Houston Ship Channel. Officials believe only one of the barge's tanks -- which holds 168,000 gallons -- was breached, though Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Sam Danus said Sunday it wasn't clear how much oil had spilled.
Crews were skimming oil out of the water Sunday and about six and half miles of containment booms were being used to protect environmentally sensitive areas, the Coast Guard said. The area is home to popular bird habitats, especially during the approaching migratory shorebird season. Danus said flights are planned later Sunday to assess whether wetlands or wildlife had been affected.
While the remaining oil in the damaged barge is removed Sunday, the mouth of Houston ship channel is closed to all ships in either direction. It's not clear when it will reopen, Danus said. According to the Coast Guard, 27 vessels, including two cruise ships, are waiting to enter the channel from the Gulf of Mexico; a line of tankers were visible Sunday. And 34 vessels, including one cruise ship, are waiting to leave Galveston Bay.
Also closed is the Texas City dike, a popular fishing spot that goes out into the Gulf for a few miles. Lee Rilat, 58, owns Lee's Bait and Tackle, the last store before the access road to the dike, which was blocked by a police car on a breezy, overcast Sunday. If it weren't for the spill, Rilat's business would be hopping.
"This would be the first spring deal, the first real weekend for fishing," Rilat said. He says ships and barges have collided before, but this is the first time -- at least this year -- that someone has sprung a leak. His wife, Brenda Rilat, said sea fog was hanging over the bay Saturday.
Rilat, who's lived in the area most of his life, doesn't think the spill is too big of a deal. "It'll be fine. ... Mother Nature takes care of its own," he said.
The collision in the channel, which sits between Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula, was still being investigated, the Coast Guard said. Once the oil is removed from the damaged barge in a process called lightering, a common process used to unload the large oil tankers offshore and move the product inland, the barge will be taken to a local shipyard to be assessed, Danus said.
The spill site is 700 yards offshore the Texas City dike. A crane and several small boats could be seen at the cleanup site, and dozens of trucks were along the beach.
The captain of the 585-foot ship, Summer Wind, reported the spill Saturday afternoon. Six crew members from the tow vessel, which was going from Texas City to Bolivar, were injured, the Coast Guard said.
Kirby Inland Marine, which owns the tow vessel and barge, is working with the Texas General Land Office and many other federal, state and nonprofit agencies to respond to the spill, The Coast Guard said. Tara Kilgore, an operations coordinator with Kirby Inland Marine, declined to comment Saturday.
Jim Suydam, spokesman for the Texas' General Land Office, described the type of oil the barge was carrying as "sticky, gooey, thick, tarry stuff."
"That stuff is terrible to have to clean up," he said. A tar-like residue and some tarballs had washed up on the beach side of the dike Sunday.
Richard Gibbons, the conservation director of the Houston Audubon Society, said there is important shorebird habitat on both sides of the ship channel. One is the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary just to the east, which Gibbons said attracts 50,000 to 70,000 shorebirds to shallow mud flats that are perfect foraging habitat.
"The timing really couldn't be much worse since we're approaching the peak shorebird migration season," Gibbons said. He added that tens of thousands of wintering birds remain in the area.
Associated Press writer Terry Wallace in Dallas contributed to this report.

By the numbers
Residential 8 acres
Senior living campus 9 acres
Town square 4 acres
Open space 12 acres
Roads 3 acres
Total 36 acres
Steamboat Springs The Yampa Valley Medical Center and partnering developers will ask the city of Steamboat Springs to annex 36 acres south of city limits, where they hope to couple mixed-use development with a senior living campus.
The Bridges at Steamboat would straddle the Yampa River between Bald Eagle Lake and the Steamboat Christian Center. YVMC would lead development of the senior living campus. Yampa River Village, LLC, a division of Wilton Development Corp., would develop two other elements of the project. One of those elements is called the Town Square and would consist of commercial spaces along with loft and town-house living. The other element, called the Yampa Club, would include multi- and single-family cottages and town homes "focused on the Yampa River experience." Wilton Development also is the development firm behind the proposed 360 Village project west of Steamboat Springs.
City planners did not offer any initial impressions of the proposed project Tuesday, as they have not yet looked at a pre-application for the project that was submitted Monday. The parcel proposed for development is within the city's urban growth boundary and eligible for annexation.
Yampa Valley Medical Center CEO Karl Gills said the senior living campus would offer the full gamut of senior living options, from independent senior living cottages to a skilled-nursing facility, or nursing home, similar to YVMC's Doak Walker Care Center. An intermediate assisted-living center also would be included. Gills noted that two independent apartment complexes managed by the Routt County Foundation for Seniors, The Haven Assisted Living Center in Hayden and the Doak, are operating at or near capacity.
"Yampa Valley Medical Center has recognized the importance of addressing aging infrastructure in our valley," said Sue Birch, CEO of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, which owns the Haven. "This project is just one of many components needed to serve our growing aging population in Northwest Colorado."
Looking ahead
Butch Dougherty owns 9.5 of the acres proposed for development. Ed MacArthur owns the remaining acres. After his plan for a four-year gravel pit operation that would have been reclaimed into eight single-family lots and a city park failed three years ago, MacArthur said he had no plans for the property, other than holding it in his family.
"It's been through a lot of trial and tribulations," Randall Hannaway, a partner in Yampa River Village, said of the property. "I think, quite frankly, it's the only use (MacArthur) would allow. : Ed was very gracious. Once he heard what was proposed, he was very supportive. I'm really grateful for his generosity. It's with his support that we're going down this path."
Hannaway said Wilton Development and YVMC's purchase of the property is contingent on the city's approval of their plan.
"We have to be able to entitle it," Hannaway said. "If we're not successful in that, we just won't buy it."
Hannaway said it would be at least three years before any vertical construction begins on the property. Gills said it would be another year or two before work would begin on the senior living campus.

Absolutely brilliant! Apartment is located in fantastic touristic area, full of restaurants, bars and shops. Very close to the seaside promenade which bring you on several beaches. Very close to the bus stops (if you would like to travel aroud the island). Apartment is modern, very comfortable, clean, and with amazing views! Absolutely recommend this place!
The place is really nice. Ilu cooks very good Balinese meals and she is really friendly. It's important to eclair from the beginning all the prices with the manager, including meals for not being surprised.

Very nice place. Beautiful house and wonderful surroundings. The landlord was a nice lady trying to make things easier for us during our stay. She even made a cake for us, which was delicious. Thanks to her for our nice stay.
Great stay in Jonquières - close to both Orange, Avignon and the hole Rhone district.
Also close enough to a visit to Mont Ventoux (apron. 1 hour)
The apartment is both spacious, stylish interior and with all necessary appliances. There are well working WiFI.
The landlord, Jérôme was both friendly, perfectly english speaking and very helpfull.
In additon, he owns a wineyard in the Vaucluse area and offered a guided tour to the facilities. Very exiting and instructive.
We can certainly recommend a stay in this great place.
This is such a lovely house!
We stayed here last week, the village is very quiet (no bakery etc.) . There are no shops, but in 15 minuted drive there are some big supermarkets.
The house is surrounded by a large garden and the surroundings are beautiful.
There is a large kitchen, where you'll find everything you need.
The living room has a fire place and 3 benches, there is no t.v. or internet, but that wasn't a problem for us.
It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms for adults en 1 for children. The master bedroom is very nice with a bathroom an suite. We were with 6 adults, the 2 beds in the children bedroom are 2 single beds, one of them is only suitable for persons no longer then 170 cm. The second bedroom is also very nice, and it has a bathroom around the corner. The only problem was that if you're sleeping in the children's bedroom, you have to walk true the other bedroom to reach the bathroom.
The house has a cozy interior and it has central heating.
We couldn't find the tennis court at first, but you have to walk around the other house in the back to find it.
The only thing that could improve the stay even more would be a table and chairs to sit in the garden.
It is a 20 minute drive from the D-day landing beaches and villages, museum and the impressive American Millitary Cemetery. It's also nice to visit Bayeux or Caen, and there are farms that sell Calvados.
We had a great time here.

New Product
Double Horse 9100 Single Rotor Fixed Pitch
I bought one of the new, and thus far, hard to find 3CH Double Horse 9100 helis. As my previous posts said, I only bought it because I couldn't believe the price. (Around $40 US) Yes, I bought it in Shanghai on a business trip. That's why it was so cheap. It is a 3CH heli, and as such does not have any roll control. It is, of course, roll stabilized because of the flybar setup, but the pilot has no control over the "ailerons". The only servo connected to the swashplate is for pitch "elevator". The yaw axis is controlled by an integral gyro and conventional geared electric tail rotor (and actually worked very well) If you have never flown a 3CH "pitch only" SR FP heli, you're in for a surprise. If the slightest drift left or right sets in, your only remedy is to yaw the beast away from the drift, and apply fwd stick. In mine, the heli had a perpertual drift to the left, no matter which way the nose was pointing. So, a stable hover was nearly impossible...when I yawed it to stop the drift, it would simply continue the drift in a new direction. The only remedy for the incessant left drift was to keep the tail outside the ever widening circle that it was flying. There was no trim control to stop this drift. (obvious, since there was no roll servo attached to the swash) Unlike a coaxial heli, it was not dynamically stable. When it started a lateral drift, and you centered the cyclic, the bird kept flying in the same direction, accelerating towards disaster. Do not attempt to fly one of these indoors like you can with a 4CH SR FP heli (mSR, or 120SR). This thing was an exercise in frustration, and broken parts. Frankly, I got exactly what I paid for. What can you expect for $40 bucks? By the way, if you want mine, you'll find it at the curb with the rest of the garbage. Better hurry, though, they pick up on Monday morning. |
For 10 bucks more you can get a 4 channel that will be actually flyable. A 3 channel FP with no electronic roll stabilisation is a disaster waiting to happen, like your story clearly shows...
Latest blog entry: Live and learn, whether you drive, fly,...
The CG being off will cause a drift. If it's drifting left, try adding weight to the right skid.
double horse 9100 drift issue
Hi All
I'm new here & I hope you can put me on the path to success. Has anybody come up with a real solution to the left & backwards drift of the DH 9100?? I've tried the extra weight on the right skid & moving the battery around , but it still just drifts all over the place.( mostly LEFT & BACK ) Is this heli controlable?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I don't want it to be a "dust collector". TIA |
The only real solution is to add a 4th channel and that isn't worth the cost and effort. The way it's configured, it uses it's only servo to provide forward movement and some roll control. It's a poor compromise and severely cripples the control functions, providing extremely poor movement control and no resistance to translating tendency, which is common to all helis. For the handful of suckers who bought this heli it is simply a "parts donor". At least you won't have to worry about it collecting dust.

Venomous Vixen
It is an unmistakably Kat Auster morning. I've officially begun to gauge the day by what rock star I feel like emulating. Another weird habit to add to the list.
I'm still venomous this morning. I fucking hate everything. I blame this on a chemical imbalance. It's days like this that I miss the dark, sweet teat of Zoloft.
On the way to work I found myself calling multiple people in traffic "cuntfaces." Ladylike, eh?? Not gonna lose any sleep over it.
I'm now sitting at work, listening to Ani DiFranco because I can do that at work, and it's days like these that I thank Jehovah (God) for that. Tomorrow I'm bringing my digital camera to work so I can show you all a picture of our newly constructed altar to Yoda. We have a Yoda. They decided he needed an altar. Who am I to disagree? Yoda is one of the few deities I could get behind.
My whining is even uninteresting to me. I had a whole post worked out on the way to work. I must've left it in the car.
15 comments:
Ahhhhhh Zoloft induced days are infinitely more boring, Andi! LOL Though it did help me sleep, it left me feeling like an unemotional twat the rest of the time. I prefer feeling my emotions and trying my best to work them out. Though, if I go overboard again, I'll probably go back on it.
And you're allowed to call anyone a cuntface in your car. It's your car. Cuss accordingly! ;)
Can't wait for the Yoda altar! Interesting, yes, those pictures will be.J,
I like cuntfaces actually. It's even edgier than shitbird. Right now I'm letting it all wash away as I listen to Willie Nelson and Pat Green.
That you are. I call you mystery boy all the time in casual conversation. Do you wear all black and paint your nails? That would up the mystery factor at least half a mystery-point.
