Taste & Create: Rustic Potato Summer Gratin
The week flew by, and I had an enjoyable, but rather uneventful weekend. We watched the movie There Will Be Blood. Has anyone else seen that? It was good, but totally mental! We also went out one night to one of our favorite restaurants, sat with a view of the giant fish tank, savored hearty sesame-ahi tuna wraps (I need to make those at home), and sipped on a couple of MGD 64's. I know, woo! Don't lose control there. Aside from that, there was a nice long walk, a good cardio workout, an hour of stretch, and … I made a delicous Potato Gratin, rich with tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
You didn't think I was going to get to the food did you? Well, this dish is actually a take on my partner's recipe from Taste & Create, food blogger Kendall at Res-O-Puh-Leese.
I had a doozy of a time picking a recipe, as there were so many to choose from buried within her blog, but I eventually settled on the Potato, Tomato, and Garlic Gratin.
Of course, since this recipe was already tested and approved as is, I decided to play around with it a little; within reason of course. Kendall isn't a fan of onions, but I am, so I referenced the original recipe to add those babies back in. I took the fats down, as some of the oil seemed a bit unnecessary (no compromise there!), and I simplified a few of the steps (she is quite the gourmet!) for my simple kitchen style. In the end, I renamed it a "Rustic" gratin, because I like my potatoes unpeeled. The skin adds so much wonderful flavor and texture. The "Summer" part came from the use of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
Here is a close-up just before I popped it in the oven …
Now, I ran into one little glitch. Those potatoes on top crisp up and start to blacken well before the potatoes are done. At 45 minutes, I took it out, turned those top potatoes over, and popped it back in. You can do this, or try the untested tip which I include at the end of the recipe. I think it will work just fine.
The end result was rich, delicious, and completely gone in one meal (Thank you Kendall!) …
Oh yes, would you like the recipe?
Recipe: Rustic Potato Summer Gratin
Summary: ReAdapted from Res-o-puh-leese, which was adapted from Simply French by Patricia Wells & Joel Robuchon.
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Medium Onion, halved and thinly sliced
- Sea Salt, to taste (1/2 t is probably enough, but I went overboard with 1 t, and we loved it!)
- Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
- 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1 lb Ripe Tomatoes, cored, peeled, seeded & chopped (See note below. I used fresh, but you can substitute 1 14.5-ounce can of drained diced tomatoes in a pinch)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Honey (can sub agave nectar to keep it vegan)
- 1.5 lbs Baking Potatoes (nice big Russets!)
- 3 Teaspoons Dairy-Free Margarine, divided (I used Earth Balance Soy-Free, but you can substitute more olive oil)
- 3/4 Cup Chicken, Beef, or Vegetable Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley, snipped
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and allow it to cook and thicken for about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
- Meanwhile, prep those potatoes! Give them a good scrub. I leave them unpeeled for that "rustic" effect, but peel them if you must. Thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/4-inch worked for me). Set aside about 1/4 to 1/3 of the potatoes in a medium-sized bowl to use as the topping.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining potatoes with the sauce and toss carefully to blend.
- Liberally rub the bottom of a 9″ pie dish (or similarly sized oven-safe dish) with 1 teaspoon of the margarine, or oil if using instead.
- Transfer the potato-tomato mixture to the baking dish, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon. Add the broth to cover.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspons of margarine (or oil) and the parsley to the reserved potatoes for the topping. Toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the "buttered" potato slices one by one atop the potato-tomato mixture in your baking dish (in an overlapping pattern), until the entire dish is covered with an even potato layer. Sprinkle with the thyme.
- Place the dish in the centre of the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft, most of the liquid has been absorbed, and the top is golden, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check in after 40 minutes. If those potatoes on top are crisping too fast, turn them over to cook the other sides, and return to the oven. Serve immediately.
Quick notes
Peeling Tomatoes: Bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water large enough to hold all the tomatoes. Cut a slit in the skin of each tomato from top to bottom, and drop them all into the boiling water. Leave them in the boiling water for approximately 1 minute before removing each tomato with a slotted spoon and placing it immediately in the bowl of cold water. As soon as the tomato is cool enough to touch, remove the skin, which will now slide away easily.
Alternate Baking Method: If you run into the potato crisping problem I had, try this … reduce the broth to 1/2 to 2/3 cup, and bake for just 45 minutes to 1 hour. I think this timing will work well, since the potatoes are definitely done by 1 hour but with 3/4 cup broth, it isn't all absorbed.
Preparation time: 30 minute(s)
Cooking time: 90 minute(s)
Diet tags: Dairy free, Egg free, Gluten free, Nut free, Peanut free, Soy free, Wheat free, Low Sugar, and optionally Vegan and Vegetarian
Number of servings (yield): 4

Setup for maximum oven spring
Hello again, I am just breaking my questions up into different threads, hope that is ok...
As a seeker of the magnificent open crumb, I have been trying to figure out what gives the best oven spring setup, and I have a few options right now, but I get myself lost in variables to really figure out what works better. so I still have not figured out what really makes sence and what doesn't.
As far as I am aware, the more heat, the more evaporation/expansion, but also, the quicker the bread (especially the crust) sets.
Steam prevents crust from setting, but it also transfers more heat to the crust, right? that might give more expansion, but does this not set the crust faster?
Heat from below should contribute more to the rise, I imagine, is this true?
Is faster heat transfer a must for good spring? Since some recipes call for putting the bread in a cold oven.
Untill now I have the impression that the best result would be for me to put my steel plate of 8,5kg (19lb) into the oven, second lowest rack, along with a metal bowl on the floor of the oven. Preheat for an hour on highest temp of 275C (525F) and convection, and then turn down to baking temp and put in bread, along with boiling water in the bowl. Any thoughts on that?

Masaaki Kumagai, director of the Robot Development Engineering Lab at Japan's Tohoku Gakuin University, has developed a robot balancing on a ball. The robot, called BallIP, which is short for Ball Inverted Pendulum, is about half meter high, weighs 7.5 kg. It balances on a 3.6-kg, rubber-coated bowling ball using three omnidirectional wheels. The peculiar setup combined with the inherent instability of the inverted-pendulum setup gives the robot great maneuverability, allowing it to balance on the spot even when pushed, to immediately move in all directions without having to first turn a wheel-base, and to pirouette on the spot.
In a demonstration, Kumagai showed three BallIPs cooperating to carry a large wooden frame. In future work he plans on extending the capabilities of the robots to allow them to easily cooperate with humans for carrying and transporting heavy objects.

Sauna fire at UNH's Whittemore Center contained
DURHAM - Firefighters were busy Sunday night battling a sauna fire at the Whittemore Center on the campus of the University of New Hampshire.
Durham Fire Chief Corey Landry said his department was called to the Whittemore Center, 128 Main St., just after 9 p.m. Landry said the building's sprinkler system did a good job of knocking down the flames, and firefighters were able to contain the fire to the one sauna room.
"There was some water in the basement, and smoke throughout the Whittemore and the Rec Center," said Landry. "They are planning to get a cleaning crew in there in the morning."
Landry said the cause of the fire is under investigation, but is not considered suspicious.
Fire crews from Lee and Newmarket assisted Durham at the scene, and Madbury firefighters covered the Durham station. Crews were at the Whittemore Center just over two hours. No injuries were reported.

It's time to fight back against liberalism, moderate progressive Democrats and Republicans who are being deceived and blinded by Satan. Also, the Republican establishment is starting to be deceived and blinded by Satan.
Now, not all Republicans are deceived and blinded, and as far as Democrats nationally, they are deceived. I'm talking about those who do state work — governor, congress, judicial, etc. I hadn't seen local Democrats being deceived yet.
I found your article on WSTL very interesting and thought you might want another part of the history of the station when it was brought back to life in 1966 by Woody and Helen.
They were two dedicated people who loved broadcasting especially, to the local fans in their community of Eminence. I miss both of them dearly. Woody gave me my first break into the business. I am forever grateful to both of them.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
It's the perfect time of year to highlight a genus of shrubs whose unique blooms are currently on view throughout the park. Redbuds, as they are commonly known, are medium-sized deciduous shrubs and trees with heart-shaped leaves. In spring, they are identifiable by their abundant blooms which sprout directly from the branches and trunk of the plants. We have five cultivars of Cercis whose flowers range from almost white to vibrant fuschia.
Cercis canadensis, Eastern redbud
This is the pure species variety of Eastern redbud that features medium pink flowers. This tall shrub is native to New York and found all along the eastern United States and Canada.
All redbuds feature great seed heads in the late summer and fall, as seen on Cercis canadensis pictured here.
See this plant between West 21st and West 22nd Streets and between West 25th and West 27th Streets.
Cercis canadensis 'Pauline Lily,' Pauline Lily Eastern redbud
This Eastern redbud gets its name from the wife of its discoverer. Native to the mountains of West Virginia, its flowers are almost white, with a tiny blush of pink.
See this plant between West 21st and West 22nd Streets.
Cercis canadensis 'Ace of Hearts,' Ace of Hearts Eastern redbud
This hybrid has light purple flowers and small heart-shaped leaves. This particular tree was planted to commemorate our 2 millionth visitor in April, 2010.
See this plant between Gansevoort and Little West 12th Streets.
Cercis canadensis 'Appalachian Red,' Appalachian Red Eastern redbud
This crowd-pleaser boasts the brightest pink flowers of all the cultivars of Eastern redbud you'll find at the High Line.
See this plant between Gansevoort and Little West 12th Streets.
Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy,' Forest Pansy Eastern redbud
We lost the tree pictured here during Hurricane Irene and it has since been replanted. You can look forward to seeing the unique red foliage of this cultivar later in the season.
See this plant between Gansevoort and Little West 12th Streets.
Download our brand-new April bloom guide to help identify even more blooms in the park this month.

The mystery that Bernkastel wanted solved by Will in Episode 7 was "Who killed Beatrice?" and as Beatrice isn't really that much of a person, but more of a concept, it's not that much of a surprise that there is no human body...
I think it was obvious from Episode 1 onwards that we're not really dealing with ONE Beatrice in the flesh...remember how the servants in Episode 1 (during the kitchen scene) insisted on how Beatrice-sama has no form or body and how she roams about the mansion in the form of golden butterflies.
For me it was pretty clear from the very beginning of that scene in Episode 7 that it was about unveiling that there is a chance of the Beatrice of 1986 never coming into existence at all...
And what else is a corpse than physical remains that once created a personality served as a transmitter for it?! And the story of Beatrice was just that...only that in this world nobody had any need for "Beatrice" to live on.
Of course it was wordplay...but I thought it was done well and it's not like this theme wasn't foreshadowed from the very beginning of the series.

For me it's Dine rules =/= Dine novels, of course Dine's novels would have followed most of the rules he created himself, but not every other author has to follow the same interpretation.
If everybody followed the rules in the same way Dine followed them, where would be the point in letting anyone except one author write anyway?
Only because the rule is not interpreted the same way as it was by van Dine it doesn't mean that it's cheap or a copout or bad writing at all, I think. It just shows that he used it in a different way and as long as the rule allows it why not?
There are limits to how far you can find loopholes to a rule...
It's not like the solution was "Because they ate ham for breakfast!", because that would be an answer that would totally ridicule the intent of the original message.
I think the most fun part about those mystery rules today is circumventing them without actually breaking them...like creating a secret passage but making it serve no purpose for the murder or making someone who appears to be a servant be the culprit but give enough evidence to make it obvious he isn't one...

You can only break the rules if you're really fucking good at what you're doing. The guy still getting his driver's license should not try to pop a wheelie in his car and change lanes illegally for a kickass action movie sequence. He'll get killed and look like an idiot.

"Didn't he just write 12 novels and then die?"
"Well shit the genre is dead."
The rules aren't meant to be what God commands you to do. You shouldn't try to loophole them. They are, like Jack Sparrow put it once, general guidelines.
The only sacred rule in mystery novels is to never withhold a clue from your reader and to make the mystery solvable.

The way Ryûkishi brought it up was: "第7則。 死体なき事件であることを禁ず。" (Rule No.7: I forbid a crime without a corpse to exist.) and in that manner it was not actually broken.
Yes, of course you could argue wether or not it was legitimate to change the rules in the first place, just to fit what he was aiming at...that is the only thing where I would say he went a bit overboard.
Had he just referenced to the original version of the rules and then brought up his solution in Episode 7, I would agree about it breaking the rule...but he didn't, so I don't see the merrit in actually discussing it.
It's like judging Stephen King for bringing up the topic of Dracula in Salem's Lot, but not using the exact same mythology and logic that was used by Bram Stoker.

I think the main problem for me is that Ryuukishi mentioned those rules and wrote them in red after stating that red is the absolute truth.
So in the end I guess it all comes down to how he managed the red truths.
I did understand midway the problem that lies with "absolute truths" that aren't made using "absolute definitions". But then that defies the concept of "absolute truth" completely.
An absolute truth using ambiguous definitions loses all of its worth, in the end you can't rely on it, and you can bypass any red truth simply by changing the definitions of its words. That of course works for "mystery rules" which were written in red, but then what's the point in mentioning them in red, apart from confusing the reader?
As I pointed out many times, a good riddle or mystery is the one that once you learn the solution makes you slap in the face because you realize that it was solvable and yet you couldn't see how.
But if I realize that the only reason I couldn't solve a riddle was because I was respecting and trusting the rules, I don't really get that feeling. The only feeling I get is that the one who proposed the riddle won by cheating.

Red without clear definitions is fairly annoying. That was one thing I liked about Beatrice's interpretations (although she did pull it a few times). Generally, if she needed to define a term, she defined it; if not, the general meaning of the term was assumed and usually followed. Most of her misleading use of red was through improper conclusions from the red she presented, not twists of the red itself.
Ryukishi appears to have forgotten this for the ep5 "corpse is not a corpse" thing, even though Beatrice had already covered herself on this by generally avoiding calling people corpses until they actually were, or not calling the dead/"dead" corpses. Even the unidentified corpses red only applied to "unidentified corpses." If someone was identified, or not a corpse, that red never applied to them.
Using a "truth mechanic" ambiguously to make an uncritical reader jump to conclusions but give hints to a careful reader is fine. Using it to lie is cheating.

I never really understood why there was an issue with the EP5 red. Observers are permitted to assert their own conclusions and interpretations, and Battler's argument about witnessing Kinzo demonstrated that observations are relative to the narration, so you can state them in red even if they don't correspond to reality.
When I figured out the device of the epitaph's riddle, I witnessed Grandfather. ......As has already been shown in red, Grandfather doesn't exist. It was impossible for me to witness him!
Even if it wouldn't have flown in EP4, the players were explicitly permitted to do this by the rules in EP5.

Minor item: Episode 4: Right after George challenges Gaap, it mentions that there's a full moon. I just looked on http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon and found that Oct 4 1986 was a new moon. Not sure if that actually means anything. (Or it could just be an indicator that the scene is fake.)
Renall: What red text did my Gohda / Rosa theory violate? I don't take that theory seriously at all, but I think it explains things at least as well as Shkannon does, or rather, as poorly as Shkannon does.

But of course, we were all ready for Lambdadelta and even more so, Bernkastel to use such dirty tricks, right? Right?
For EP7, I thought the trick was that Will's rules spoken in red had no meaning because although Bernkastel presented a kind of mystery, it wasn't a detective story, right?
By the way, I've posted this before, but maybe it needs repeating. Something's been bugging me since the end of EP6, before Will appeared. It's said that first Battler and Erika were the 'detectives' in EP1-4 and EP5-6 respectively. But normal detectives solve the crime and present the solution in the last chapter. Before then they usually have the solution in mind and as a consequence of their investigation, they dig up the proper clues for us.
When did Battler and Erika do this? They both failed in their investigations (or weren't even aware that they were supposed to investigate, i.e. 無能) and presented nothing at the end.
That's why I propose that even if they had 'detective' powers, we needed to look at them from a different light. Especially in light of the Author Theory at that time. Basically, they weren't 'detectives' but a tool for the author to obfuscate the truth even more.
Then Will appeared and gave us an answer key of sorts and all is well. If we can figure out his cryptic messages that is... hmm...

FORT WORTH, TX --A North Texas sheriff's deputy has lost his job over rants he posted against his boss and two other county employees.
A disciplinary letter obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram shows Richard "Bo" Aldridge accused Sheriff Dee Anderson of drinking and driving in his county vehicle. Anderson denied the allegation categorically.
The letter also showed Aldridge made derogatory comments against one of his opponents in his campaign for the Precinct 1 constable's job, which Aldridge lost. He also made derogatory comments against County Commissioner J.D. Johnson.
The Tarrant County Sheriff's Department's Disciplinary Review board recommended his dismissal, which Anderson agreed with. Aldridge didn't appeal the decision with the county's Civil Service Commission.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. --A 29-year-old Palmdale man was arrested Monday for allegedly committing sexual acts on two girls under the age of 10.
Israel Barajas was taken into custody by Simi Valley police because that was where the sexual abuse allegedly happened. Investigators say Barajas knew the girls through a mutual adult friend.
Authorities say the arrest came after a month-long investigation.
He is facing several charges, including lewd acts on a child under 14. Barajas is being held on $100,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment on July 24.

Predictably the Gunners are made favourites for victory at the Stadium of Light, with the price of 10/11 (1.91) available from Bet Victor.
Sunderland have won just one of their last four home games in all competitions, and despite clambering away from the relegation zone recently, are at 16/5 (4.20) to win here with the same firm.
These two clubs drew earlier in the season at the Emirates, and a repeat stalemate can be backed at 13/5 (3.60).
However Arsene Wenger will be pressing his players for all three points against Sunderland, as the race for Champions League football begins to enter its final stages.
Unbeaten in their last four, Arsenal have responded well to the defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea and their attacking force may be just too strong for the Black Cats.
The Gunners have fired 11 goals in their last four, and one man who is getting on the scoresheet more regularly recently is Lukas Podolski.
The Germany international now has 12 goals in red and white for the campaign, after hitting the winner last time out against Stoke.
Five goals in his last 10 games is a decent return for a player operating out wide, and interestingly that quintet came against sides outside of the top seven - Reading, Newcastle, Swansea, West Ham and Stoke.
A trip to 12th-placed Sunderland could therefore yield another strike against lesser opposition, with the 27-year-old forward generously priced at 2/1 (3.0) to strike at anytime.
While Martin O'Neill will hope that his side can improve upon their record against top seven sides - which stands at one win, two draws and six defeats - Arsenal may not be willing to allow that.

Classic literature buffs are sure to enjoy this book. In Plotted: A Literary Atlas, author and San Francisco-based illustrator Andrew DeGraff has created 19 idiosyncratic and highly detailed maps based on the landscapes and locales in popular literature that offers readers a new way of looking at their favorite fictional worlds. Each chapter begins with a short essay by the book's editor Daniel Harmon with a somewhat philosophical look at some great classics.
Tracy Chevalier's latest book At the Edge of the Orchard is set in the 1830's and 1850's in Ohio and California. One of the reasons that I like to read historical fiction is that I learn new things. And I learned new things about apple trees, redwoods, sequoias, and the real life people--Johnny Appleseed, William Lobb, and Billie Lapham from At the Edge of the Orchard.
The Fond du Lac Public Library's Chapter 52 Bookstore is located at 52 Sheboygan St., right across the street from Thelma Center for the Arts.
Sherryl Woods is one of my all-time favorite authors. If you enjoy reading appealing, character-driven stories infused with the flavor and fragrance of the South, her Sweet Magnolia novels can't be beat. I just finished Where Azaleas Bloom and could not put it down. With all the turmoil in the world today, sometimes it helps to escape to a small town setting where everyone pulls together to help those in need.
Lily and the Octopus by debut author Steven Rowley is a book about a 12-year-old dachshund (Lily) who has a brain tumor (the octopus). Lily's human, Ted, discovers Lily's tumor but cannot face up to it so he calls it the octopus. Ted is a gay man who works as a freelance writer in Los Angeles and has ended his long-term relationship with Jeffery. Ted is a bit self-absorbed and sees a therapist to work through some emotional issues although the sessions are not helpful.

SAN FRANCISCO -- At its September 16, 1996 meeting, the Commission on Health, Safety and Workers' Compensation voted to adopt the 1995-96 Annual Report, which is now available to the public. The Commission was created by the 1993 reform legislation to monitor the state of the workers' compensation system and its report discusses various impacts of the 1993 California workers' compensation reforms and makes recommendations for further fine-tuning of the state's workers' compensation system.
During the past year, the Commission has held meetings, conducted fact-finding hearings, and directed several studies to determine the effects of reform legislation on California employees and employers. These studies, conducted by independent research organizations under contract with the Commission, and other activities were aided by the involvement of state agency personnel and interested members of the workers' compensation community. This cooperative public-private partnership continues to work together to identify, describe, measure and propose solutions to problems and difficulties in the current health and safety and workers' compensation systems.
The Commission, created by the workers' compensation reform legislation of 1993, is charged with overseeing the health and safety and workers' compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation. The Commission was established to conduct a continuing examination of the workers' compensation system and of the states activities to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases and to examine those programs in other states. The Commission focused its attention on the impact of the reform legislation on the community, on various aspects of Californias health and safety and workers' compensation systems, and on the operations of state agencies charged with carrying out those programs. The 1995-96 Annual Report contains findings and recommendations on workers' compensation claims adjudication, vocational rehabilitation, disability evaluation, medical issues, medical-legal evaluations, and fraud and on the High Hazard Consultation and Inspection Program.
A copy of the Commission's 1995-96 Annual Report is available at no charge by writing to Christine Baker, Executive Officer, Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation, 30 Van Ness Avenue, Room 2122, San Francisco, California 94102; by calling (415) 557-1304; or by faxing a request to (415) 557-1385.
The annual report and other Commission publications are also available through the Internet at the California Department of Industrial Relations home page at www.dir.ca.gov. Information about the Commission may be accessed by choosing either Occupational Safety & Health or Workers' Compensation.

Pittsburgh, Pa.- The Coker men's basketball team was unable to pick up a win as they lost to division I University of Pittsburgh 83-40 on Sunday afternoon in an exhibition game. The Cobras did not have a great first half, scoring just six points, but a 34 point second half, made the game a bit more respectable.
Ricardo Smith (Darlington, S.C.) led the Cobras with nine points, while Vatrick Thompson (Columbia, S.C.) had eight points and Delonte Doles (Roswell, Ga.) had seven points.
Coker opens their 2009 season on Monday, Nov. 16, when they host the Morris College Hornets at 7:00 p.m. at the Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium.

Reward set in trophy theft case
Saratoga Springs
Information leading to an arrest and a conviction in the theft of racing trophies from the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame could net a $20,000 reward.
StarNet Insurance Co. announced the reward on Tuesday. Five trophies, two of which were designed by Tiffany & Co., were stolen on Sept. 12, police said, in a "traditional smash-and-grab."
The trophies, dating between 1903 and 1923, are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to police.
The thief staked out the Union Avenue museum, police said, and pulled off the burglary in three minutes, taking the trophies from two glass cases.
There are 16 surveillance cameras in the museum. Police have said they are still reviewing the footage.
Anyone with information should contact Investigator Laura Emanatian at 584-1800, Ext. 3402; or Investigator James Bell at 584-1800, Ext. 3492.

Therefore, my garage freezer and pantry runneth over. This is when I step into my home "Iron Chef Mode". Instead of relying on an ingredients list for a new recipe, I'm doing the reverse. Based on what I have on hand, determines what's next on the menu at home. I need to shop at home, first, because I don't want to become a food hoarder! I spotted this recipe on "Quinces and the Pea", and I loved the color of the risotto. Making a mental grocery list, I realized I had everything to make this. I had a few asparagus spears in my fridge.

A former sheriff's deputy from Los Angeles County was sentenced Monday to two years behind bars after getting busted trying to smuggle heroin, concealed in a burrito, into a courthouse jail.
According to prosecutors, 27-year-old Henry Marin accepted the burrito, stuffed with beans, cheese and 24 grams of black tar heroin, from a woman outside the courthouse in February 2010.
When he tried to enter again, undercover investigators, who were part of an elaborate sting operation, were waiting for him.
Marin, who pleaded not guilty, claimed he didn't know about the burrito's illegal ingredient and was planning on checking it before delivering it to an inmate.
Marin was relieved of his duties and surrendered to deputies on Jan. 11, NBC Los Angeles reported.
It wasn't Marin's first time in the spotlight. He was featured in the 2007 Fox reality show, "The Academy" which gave viewers a peek inside the 18-week training course at the Los Angeles Country Sheriff's Academy. Marin washed out of the class after failing a test but was allowed to re-enroll and later completed the academy successfully, a department spokewaman told NBC Los Angeles. Marin was hired in 2006.
In April, Marin pleaded no contest to one count of bringing drugs into a jail, and one count of conspiracy to commit a crime, which was later thrown out.

Climate change, it seems, is no longer a dirty phrase for Democrats to disavow.
President Barack Obama promised in his second inaugural address to respond to climate change, casting it as a moral obligation and warning that failing to take action "would betray our children and future generations." It's not just a responsibility to his fellow Americans, Obama said Monday, but to "all posterity."
Persuading Americans that they should care about climate change _ or have a duty to do so _ is one thing. Actually doing something about the emissions that contribute to rising sea levels, sooty skies and melting Arctic sea ice is a far more complex task. Despite Obama's pledges Monday, the White House was scant with details this week, saying only that it's pursuing action under the existing regulatory framework.
Given that sweeping legislation to cap greenhouse gas emissions not only failed in his first administration, but also fell apart in a way that may have damaged the fortunes of future climate-related legislation, the White House has challenging work ahead. It must negotiate a polarized Congress, regional energy interests and pressure from big polluters and the influential energy sector.
The industry is bracing for a fight. Some groups, such as the National Association of Manufacturers, have challenged the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
They'll continue to argue that regulation of greenhouse gases should come from Congress, not the executive branch, said Ross Eisenberg, the vice president of energy and resources policy for the association. International emissions and the economic consequences of U.S. regulatory decisions need to be factored in, too, he said.
"If you put constraints on one economy, and other economies you're competing with don't have it, you're constraining growth and putting an additional cost on the manufacturing process that your competitors don't have," he said.
Congress has shown that it remains divided over what environmentalists say is one key indicator of how the second Obama administration will approach emissions. A majority of senators urged the president this week to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring oil to the United States from the Canadian tar sands. The administration has twice delayed a decision, which is pending environmental approval at the State Department. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., gave no indication Thursday in his confirmation hearing to become the next secretary of state how he'd move on the decision, but he said he'd make sure that climate change issues are taken into consideration.
Meanwhile, the governor of Nebraska signed off this week on the pipeline's path through the state.
Yet those who favor action on climate change said they were hopeful, and they've been drawing up plans for the White House that they think match the rhetoric of the inaugural address. Obama's re-election was the first step, said Bob Deans, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council. The next step, he and other environmentalists said, is for the president to act on his pledge.
"In November, the country went with the guy who said it's a threat," Deans said. "Is that a mandate? I don't know. But without question it's a historic opportunity. And on Monday, the president showed he's very serious about taking advantage of that opportunity."
The biggest step, major legislation that would have capped emissions and set up markets to trade pollution credits, failed in 2010 and is unlikely to be resurrected.
But there's plenty more the administration could do without legislation, said the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit that's dedicated to reducing air pollution. The task force wrote a letter to the president earlier this month saying the administration could work to curb methane emissions from the pipeline and production system, even as domestic oil and gas production booms.
They'd also like to see more attention to coal. Given recent projections that show the use of coal surging worldwide, even as older, inefficient plants close in the United States, the Clean Air Task Force would like some attention paid to developing the technology to capture carbon emissions from coal-fired plants.
Such technology also could be applied to natural gas, which in the United States is rapidly replacing coal. Although natural gas-fired power plants still produce greenhouse gas emissions, it's at about half the rate of coal plants.
"To get serious about climate means getting serious about solving coal emissions, because they won't disappear or be replaced," said John Thompson, the head of the Clean Air Task Force's fossil transition team. "We need carbon capture in the United States, not just for coal, but for gas as well. When it comes to pathways for climate change, all paths have to lead to addressing coal and gas through carbon capture technology."
The most likely path in coming months, though, may be through the EPA's regulatory authority. The administration is finalizing emission rules for new power plants; environmental groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling for rules that would target existing plants.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney wouldn't say this week whether the administration would move to regulate existing plants. The EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, is stepping down, and the president hasn't yet named a new leader for an agency that Republicans often target as overbearing.
"I can certainly confirm that the president intends to continue progress on the new national standard for harmful carbon pollution from new power plants, and to implement that standard," Carney said. "I can't comment on any specific future actions that he might take, except that he has demonstrated in his record during his first term that we can, together, take action that is not only helpful to our environment, in that it addresses the issue of climate change."
Obama himself warned in his inaugural address that the path toward sustainable energy sources would be "long and sometimes difficult." His administration hasn't tipped its hand when it comes to the Keystone pipeline, which, if approved, environmentalists would consider a failure to rein in future greenhouse gas emissions.
The pipeline's rejection is one of the key goals of the Sierra Club, which said this week that for the first time in its 120-year history it would pursue a strategy of civil disobedience to oppose the pipeline. Obama's mention of acts of civil disobedience in Selma, Ala., Seneca Falls, N.Y., and Manhattan's Stonewall inspired their action, said the club's executive director, Michael Brune.
"We want him to follow up that speech by exercising his full authority as an executive," Brune said, "but also his full abilities as chief persuader."

NEW YORK (AP) — A Cleveland television station that posted an online story about the criminal past of a man who helped free three captive women this week took it down after being flooded with complaints.
WEWS-TV removed the story about Charles Ramsey only a few hours after it was posted on its website Wednesday night. The ABC affiliate never aired the story for broadcast.
Ramsey kicked down the door of Ariel Castro's house on Monday, helping one of the three women kept captive in the house to escape.
Station news director Jill Manuel said Friday that while the story was factually correct, it was too soon to disseminate in Cleveland.

Spring Cleaning Science
Eco-friendly house cleaners vs. commercial cleaners: Which is more effective? With a little research and experimentation, your child can turn spring cleaning into an educational science experiment. The structure of this activity helps him gain insight into some important parts of the scientific method: guessing, observing, and reporting results. As a bonus, he'll familiarize himself with the advantages and dangers of different types of cleaning products—a useful lesson for his chores!
What You Need:
- Distilled white vinegar
- Water
- 1 commercial counter top cleaner
- 1 commercial floor cleaner
- Clean rags
- A mop
- 2 buckets
- Pencil
- Paper
- Rubber gloves
What You Do:
- Before he begins, make sure the cleaners he is using are not harmful to the surface they are being used on. For example, vinegar is too harsh to use on a marble surface. If you are working on surfaces that don't agree with white distilled vinegar, try using an eco-friendly household cleaner such as Office Depot Green All-Purpose Cleaner or Simply Green Naturals Multi-Surface Care.
- Ask him to make a hypothesis (prediction) about what he thinks will happen with each cleaner, and what the results of the experiment will be.
- Have him put on his rubber gloves before doing anything with the chemicals.
- To clean the floor, help him mix 1 cup of white distilled vinegar with 1 gallon of water and put it in one bucket.
- Invite him to prepare the commercial floor cleaner according to the directions on the bottle, and put it in the other bucket. Make sure to keep the cleaners separate. It is important to never mix chemicals.
- Have him use the mop to wipe down part of the floor with the vinegar solution. He should rinse the mop, and clean a separate area with the commercial cleaner.
- Ask him to compare and record the similarities and differences between the two cleaners and their results.
- Repeat the experiment, but clean counter tops this time. Have him use a clean rag dampened in distilled white vinegar to clean part of the counter top and a commercial counter top cleaner to clean a separate part. He should record the results, as above.
- After he's finished, have him write the conclusion. It's important to remember that determining the "better" cleaner might involve more than just how it cleans. For example, he should think about the fumes coming from the product, as well as the dangers on the warning label.

Siemens and McAfee to provide industrial cyber security solutions
April 7, 2014 - The Siemens Industry Sector and McAfee plan to enhance the security offerings for industrial customers to protect against rapidly evolving global cyber threats. This partnership will take advantage of the depth of both companies' security portfolios and further enhances the joint effort started in 2011.
Industrial customers face unique new challenges including a wider range of cyber threats than ever before. They often lack the resources necessary to respond efficiently to security incidents and do not have access to the global threat intelligence that would allow proactive defensive measures. This critical information is needed in order to keep up with evolving government regulations, industry standards, sector specific best practices, and other risk information necessary for making informed business decisions.
The cooperation with McAfee will complement Siemens' service offerings by leveraging security solutions such as next generation firewall, security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint security, and global threat intelligence as part of its Managed Security Service as well as offering professional services. These offerings provide greater visibility and control at the factory level while reducing the risk of IP theft.
"McAfee's broad portfolio of security technologies can serve as a great enabler of Siemens Industrial Security service offerings," said Siegfried Russwurm, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens' Industry Sector speaking at the Hannover Messe. "This will further strengthen our leading position in automation and drive technologies by providing additional security solutions and services to our industrial customer base. Industrial security is one of the building blocks for strong demand of connected manufacturing environments, and for the continued resurgence of the manufacturing sector globally. This partnership will be an important foundation for the future of manufacturing and Industrie 4.0."
"Siemens provides a deep experience in automation across numerous industries," said Michael Fey, worldwide chief technology officer at McAfee. "By combining forces, McAfee, Intel and Siemens can drive the adoption of connected, managed and secured solutions at the plant level in order to help industrial customers to manage their security while bringing the uptime and reliability of the plant operations to a higher level. This collaboration should allow us to address the unique requirements of Industrial Control System customers for the operations technology market thus providing a complete security view across the entire company."
In addition, the companies will continue to cooperate on the development of security products and solutions, specifically based on industrial protocols, that will enhance managed security service offerings for the process and factory automation industry. As "Industrie 4.0", part of the "Internet of Things and Services" rolls out, industrial customers will benefit from the unique advantages that connected and managed systems bring to the factory floor.
Siegfried Russwurm, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens' Industry Sector: "The cooperation will further strengthen our leading position in automation and drive technologies."
Michael Fey, worldwide chief technology officer at McAfee: "This collaboration should allow us to address the unique requirements of Industrial Control System customers."
The Siemens Industry Sector (Erlangen, Germany) is the world's leading supplier of innovative and environmentally friendly products and solutions for industrial customers. With end-to-end automation technology and industrial software, solid vertical-market expertise, and technology-based services, the Sector enhances its customers' productivity, efficiency, and flexibility. With a global workforce of more than 100,000 employees, the Industry Sector comprises the Divisions Industry Automation, Drive Technologies and Customer Services as well as the Business Unit Metals Technologies.

SEATTLE (AP) - February 8, 2013 --To Laura King, her three children were acting normal while enjoying dinner at an Italian restaurant in their hometown in Washington state.
But staffers of the restaurant Sogno di Vino in Kingston were so impressed at her children's table manners that they thanked her kids and gave the family of five a bowl of ice cream.
It wasn't until King got home that that she noticed a $4 "well-behaved kids" discount on her receipt to cover the dessert. A friend posted a picture of the receipt on the website Reddit, and the story took off.
King's children are 2, 3 and 8 years old.
King says it's been entertaining to see all the attention her story has gotten, and she plans to dine at Sogno di Vino again soon.

Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, met this week with two officials from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to discuss issues of importance to his district in Western New York. Ceretto, Deputy Commissioner for Real Property and Legislative Affairs Carol Clark and Associate Attorney Petra Larsen discussed the redesign of the Robert Moses Parkway, the need for the State Parks to take a more active role in grass cutting in certain areas, and the use of Schoellkopf Hall in the DeVeaux Woods State Park.
"I was happy to meet with officials from the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to discuss ways that communities in Niagara Falls and the surrounding area can be improved. At the top of the list, of course, was moving forward with the Robert Moses Parkway redesign," Ceretto said. "We need to get moving on this and other important projects that will upgrade our area. I will continue to work with whoever I need to in order to make this a reality."
"Ideally, the redesign of the Robert Moses Parkway will bring traffic directly into downtown Niagara Falls in order to boost the struggling businesses in that area," Ceretto said. "I have already put my support behind a plan that would accomplish this. However, the imperative has to be on agreeing to a plan and moving this project ahead."
Ceretto has long been pushing for the state to get moving on the redesign of the Robert Moses Parkway. This project, he said, is essential to developing the waterfront and tapping into its economic potential. Ceretto, who wrote to Gov. Cuomo to ask for funding to get the project going, wants to see officials agree to a plan, get the funding, break ground, and do it as quickly as possible.
Ceretto said the project is too important to the economic development of the fiscally distressed City of Niagara Falls to put off for much longer.
Also on the agenda were several issues of local importance. Ceretto pushed for State Parks to play an increased role in grass cutting on Grand Island and throughout the area. The uncut grass has, in some areas, grown to more than four feet tall. This, Ceretto said, is unsafe for the local residents and leaves an unfavorable impression on people passing through, which is especially bad for an area whose economy is dependent on tourism.
In addition, possible uses for the currently unused Schoellkopf Hall in the DeVeaux Woods State Park were discussed. Schoellkopf Hall, a historic building that was originally built as a dormitory in 1930, has been out of use since 2001. Legislative approval is needed to authorize State Parks to enter into an agreement with another organization to use the building.
"Schoellkopf Hall could be used to bring jobs and revenue to the area," Ceretto said. "Several businesses have expressed interest in using the building, such as a high-tech manufacturing company. It is important to use all of our historic resources to grow our economy. The bottom line is we need to use this building to bring jobs to the good, hard-working residents of the area."

Police: Loss prevention officers steal $50K worth of socks
Police: Loss prevention officers steal $50K worth of socks
Two former loss prevention officers are accused of stealing $50,000 worth of socks from a distribution center.
Byron Keith Kearney, 48, and Henry Gerard Jackson, 32, both of Greensboro, were arrested Sunday and charged with felony larceny and felony breaking and entering.
Police in Kernersville said the arrests were part of an investigation of the loss of about $2 million in merchandise from a HanesBrands Inc. distribution center in Kernersville in the last two years.
Lt. John Shelor said officers had been working with the company's loss prevention department.
Shelor said a gate guard let the two men in a large truck into the facility. The men left with a truckload of socks and were stopped a short time later.
