Our Congressman
Rick is a father and grandfather, married to Mary Nolan for 30 years, and born and raised on the Cuyuna Iron Range in Minnesota's 8th District. He is successful small-business owner who created jobs throughout northern Minnesota from the sawmill and pallet factory he owned in Emily. Rick is a lifelong hunter and fisherman, who harvests wild rice in the fall, boils maple syrup in spring, and never misses a fishing opener.
In Congress, Rick has fought to Expand the middle class by:
- Raising the national minimum wage to a wage people can live on;
- Supporting Minnesotan mining by enabling critical projects on the Iron Range to move forward – and making sure they adhere to our nation's strictest environmental and safety standards;
- Promoting northern Minnesota's timber industry and the jobs it supports with an amendment to the Farm Bill encouraging the use of forest products as environmentally friendly building material;
- Stamping "Made in America" on all U.S. pipelines. Rick has introduced legislation to require that pipelines built in the United States use iron ore that is mined, processed, or reprocessed in America
- Protect Social Security & Medicare, opposing any attempt to privatize it or hand it over to private insurance companies.
- Defend and expand veterans benefits by voting to double funding at the VA to do away with the notorious backlog in claims processing; expand access to health care for vets who live in rural areas; and broaden the type of care veterans can receive (to services like chiropractic care and treatment for PTSD and Agent Orange).
- End wars of choice in foreign nations like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Rick's measure to stop wasting taxpayer dollars on unnecessary Afghanistan construction projects was passed by the House of Representatives in a recent Defense bill, and his advocacy was featured in TIME Magazine.
- Put a stop to government waste by advocating for the elimination of a redundant USDA inspection program that costs taxpayers $170 million a year. Rick also introduced a bill during the government shutdown in October 2013 to prevent Members of Congress from getting paid while the government wasn't operating.
- Protect our lakes, rivers, and streams, as well as tourism and fishing jobs with his amendment in the Water Resources bill preventing the spread of invasive species like Asian carp and zebra mussels.

Tanya Allen, a Harding High School senior, has overcome a lifetime of difficulties in her 17 years, and yet she has found ways to succeed in school and life. Throughout her life, Tanya has survived crushing poverty, being molested by a non-family member, and has felt the devastating neglect and violence fueled by her father's alcoholism.
She also has endured the stress of her mother's recurring brain tumor, and the difficult death of her grandmother, who was Tanya's chief caregiver for much of her early life. Her father's drinking and violence forced Tanya's mom to kick him out many times and Tanya got used to the repeated broken promises he made to her and to her younger brother. Because of his alcoholism, she now faces the real possibility that he won't live to see her graduate because of alcohol-related cirrhosis of the liver.
Through it all, Tanya has shown amazing resilience and excelled in school and extra-curricular activities. To help out at home, she has held down several part time jobs. In high school, she's been an Honor Roll student, maintained a 3.77 GPA, and been listed in "Who's Who Among American High School Students." Outside of school she has earned a Black Belt in karate, teaches kids Kung Fu, volunteers with her church and with the Girl Scouts, and is an Ambassador of People to People, for which she will travel to Europe this summer.
As Tanya looks toward to her future, she plans to study to be a dentist at the University of Minnesota.

A lawsuit filed against the city of Chicago over its red light and speed camera programs was granted class-action status by a Cook County judge on Wednesday, meaning the case's outcome could affect up to 1.5 million motorists.
The Obama administration is urging states to ban unnecessary non-compete agreements that can hinder wage growth and labor market competition. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who has been active in the push to limit improper non-competes, commended the White House's call to action.
With Cook County facing a lawsuit challenging its bail system, local community groups and attorneys gathered Tuesday to "demand alternatives to monetary bond" to help poor detainees.
A federal magistrate judge issued a recommendation on Tuesday to deny a preliminary injunction sought by plaintiffs challenging a suburban Illinois school district's locker room policy for transgender students.
Former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is one of seven individuals who have filed state and federal lawsuits in an effort to win an elected school board in Chicago.
A federal immigration agency has reversed its denial of a deferred action renewal request for an undocumented Chicago woman and activist.
Several religious, anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers are suing Illinois over a recent amendment to the state's Health Care Right of Conscience law.
Despite an increase over the past decade in anti-bullying policies and other measures to promote safe school environments, biased language, bullying and harassment continue to be the norm at many U.S. middle and high schools.
That's according to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which released its 2015 school climate survey on Wednesday. The report is an update of the group's school climate survey from 2005.
"Overall, bullying still persists at unacceptable levels, and the gains of the past ten years throw the more intractable aspects of the problem into higher relief. LGBTQ students still face rates of violence much higher relative to their peers," GLSEN's Executive Director Eliza Byard said in the report's preface.
"Teachers report that they are less comfortable and less prepared to address the harsh conditions faced by transgender and gender nonconforming students. And amidst progress in reducing the use of most types of biased language in schools, racist language remains as prevalent as it was a decade ago," she continued.
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by Illinois state workers over union "fair share" fees.

Phil Wankat wrote somewhere--and I agree--that anything you can
do in a large class you can do better in a small one. When we
find ourselves teaching a mob, it's easy to throw up our hands,
conclude that there's no chance of getting any responsiveness
out of 150 or 300 students in an auditorium, and spend 45 hours
showing transparencies to the listless 60% who bother to show
up from day to day. We can generate some interest by bringing
demonstrations to class, but there are only so many hydrogen balloons
we can explode and even they lose their impact after a while.
Fortunately, there are ways to make large classes almost as effective
as their smaller counterparts. Without turning yourself inside
out, you can get students actively involved, help them develop
a sense of community, and give frequent homework assignments without
killing yourself (or your teaching assistants) with impossible
grading loads. Following are some ideas for doing all that.
In-Class Exercises
Lectures as a rule have little educational value. People learn
by doing, not by watching and listening. If you're teaching a
small class and you're good, you may be able to prod many of your
students into activity--get them asking and answering questions,
discussing issues, challenging conclusions, laughing at your jokes,
whatever. No matter how good you are, though, you probably won't
be able to persuade most students to open their mouths in front
of 120 classmates--it feels too risky for them. If you hope to
move away from the wax museum-like aspect of most large lectures,
you'll have to try a different approach.
A technique you can count on is the in-class exercise. As you
lecture on a body of material or go through a problem solution,
instead of just posing questions to the class as a whole and enduring
the ensuing time-wasting silences, occasionally assign a task
and give the students anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes
to come up with a response. Anything can serve as a basis for
these exercises, including the same questions you normally ask
in lectures and perhaps some others that might not be part of
your current repertoire.1 For example,
You might pose a problem or describe a system and ask the students,
individually or in groups, to
In these exercises you might sometimes ask the students to write
responses individually, sometimes to work in pairs or groups of
three, and sometimes to work alone and then to form pairs and
combine and improve their individual responses ("think-pair-share").
The more you vary your methods, the more interesting the class
tends to be.
Whichever approach you use for the exercises (individual,
pairs, groups, or think-pair-share), at least some of the time
you should call on groups or individuals to present what they
came up with, perhaps landing disproportionately on students
near the back of the room so they know they can't hide from you
there. If you never do this, students will have little incentive
to work on the exercises when you assign them and many won't,
but if they think they may be called on, they won't want to be
embarrassed and so you'll get 90+ percent of them actively involved
in what you're teaching. Even if you're an award-winning traditional
lecturer, that's probably better than your usual percentage for
active student involvement during class.
The principal benefit of these exercises is that they get students
acting and reflecting, the only two ways by which human beings
learn. The students who succeed in a task will own the knowledge
in a way they never could if you simply handed it to them, and
those who try and fail will be receptive to discovering what they
didn't know. Group exercises have the added benefit of giving
students an opportunity to meet and work with one another, a good
first step toward building a sense of community. (You can augment
this benefit by periodically asking the students to sit in different
locations and work with students they haven't been with before.)
You can also use in-class exercises to wrap up a lecture period.
Ask the students to write down and hand in a brief statement
of the main point of the lecture, or come up with two good questions
or test problems related to what you just presented, or tell you
how they think you could improve the class. You can scan their
responses and quickly see if they got the main idea you were trying
to present, identify their main points of confusion, or discover
things you could do that would make the class better for them,
like giving more examples or leaving material on the board longer
or speaking more slowly or not cracking your knuckles every five
You don't have to spend a great deal of time on active learning
exercises in class: one or two lasting no more than five minutes
in a 50-minute session can provide enough stimulation to keep
the class with you for the entire period. The syllabus is safe!
Out-of-class Group Assignments
When you're teaching a class of 160 students and you give individual
homework weekly, that's 160 papers to grade every week. If the
students complete the assignments in teams of four and only one
solution is handed in by each team, that's 40 papers to grade
every week. The difference has a major impact on the feasibility
of collecting homework at all. Unless you have a squadron of
teaching assistants, there is no good way to deal with 160 papers
every week, and most instructors in this situation either give
up on collecting homework (which is a pedagogical disaster), confine
themselves to multiple-choice problems that require either memorization
or rote substitution, or grade superficially enough for the homework
to lose most of its educational value. Even if there are enough
teaching assistants to do the job, maintaining quality control
on the grading of hundreds of assignments is next to impossible.
Getting students to work on assignments in fixed teams relieves
the grading problem but introduces another set of problems, most
of which have to do with the fact that the students in a group
may have widely varying levels of ability, work ethics, and senses
of responsibility. If an instructor simply tells students
to get into groups and do the work, more harm than good may result.
In some groups, one or two students will actually do the work
and the others will simply go along for the ride. In other groups,
the students will parcel out the work and staple the individual
products together, with each student understanding only one-fourth
of the assignment.
To minimize the likelihood of these situations occurring, the
instructor must structure the assignments to assure that the defining
conditions of cooperative learning3 are met:
(1) positive interdependence (if one team member fails
to meet his or her responsibilities, everyone loses in some way);
(2) individual accountability (each student is held personally
accountable for his or her part and for everyone else's part as
well); (3) face-to-face interaction, at least part of the
time; (4) development and appropriate use of teamwork skills
(leadership, time management, effective communication, and conflict
resolution, to name a few), and (5) periodic self-assessment
of group functioning (What are we doing well as a group? What
do we need to do differently?)
Books, articles, and workshops abound that describe techniques
for achieving the requisite conditions of cooperative learning.3-5
For example, individual accountability is promoted by testing
individuals on all of the material covered in group assignments
and by factoring individual effort assessments into team project
grading. Positive interdependence is fostered by assigning rotating
roles to team members (coordinator, recorder, checker), and by
offering small bonuses on tests to all members of teams with average
test grades above (say) 80. References 3-5 offer many other suggestions.
Miscellaneous Ideas
Teaching a large class effectively is hard work, but it's
possible to do it even if you're not a big-league entertainer.
If you make the necessary logistical arrangements far enough
in advance, provide plenty of active learning experiences in the
classroom instead of relying on straight lecturing, and take full
advantage of the power of teams in both in-class and out-of-class
work, large classes can come close to being as educationally rewarding
as small classes. The instructor's satisfaction may be even greater
in the large classes: after all, many professors can teach 15
students effectively, but when you do it with 100 or more you
know you've really accomplished something.

From the moment they had left the Earth, their own weight, and that of the Projectile and the objects therein contained, had been undergoing a progressive diminution. . . . Of course, it is quite clear, that this decrease could not be indicated by an ordinary scales, as the weight to balance the object would have lost precisely as much as the object itself. But a spring balance, for instance, in which the tension of the coil is independent of attraction, would have readily given the exact equivalent of the loss.

Catch up: A cross-country bike tour with a twist: Chris Reichel is riding his mountain bike from Colorado to North Carolina and hitting all the best trails along the way. If you missed Part 1 of the Ultimate Ride to the Ride, read it here.
By Chris Reichel
This trip became a reality faster than I could have ever expected. For years, it was all just one big impossible daydream. All of the sudden I had a to-do list as long as my arm and only about a month to make it happen. I have done plenty of touring so I knew what gear to pack and how to choose a route. That's the easy stuff. But I had no idea how I was going to mount the bike on a trailer.
I grabbed my old BOB trailer out of the garage and marched down to my local bike shop to enlist the help of my friend Joey. He is far more creative than I will ever be and that special breed of bike mechanic who always seems to find a way to make things work. We sat and stared at the ingredients for a bit: the trailer, a roof rack tray, some U-bolts, an old handlebar and a few chunks of aluminum of various sizes. We cranked up the tunes and in couple of hours later, a monster was born!
After a few coats of white paint, I assembled the whole rig in my living room. A contraption this ridiculous needed a name, and the first thing that came to mind was The Great White Buffalo. Not for the Ted Nugent song, the folk singer or even the beer made by Oskar Blues. It's just a rare white beast that will be lumbering across the middle of America. It seemed appropriate.
The White Buffalo has some business in the front with my Vassago Cycles Fisticuff, which is towing the party in the back, a REEB Dikyelous singlespeed. Throw in some camping gear, leave a little room for some beers and hit the road.
With no return date in sight, I said goodbye to my friends, put the last of my possessions in storage and headed north. Since the official start of my tour was Longmont, Colorado, I did my best to mooch rides from Arizona to the Denver area. I even managed to stop in Moab and Fruita for some mountain bike rides along the way. That road trip alone was enough to make a ton of memories for anyone. This trip was off to a good start
My first real shake-down ride of the whole rig, fully loaded, was from Denver to Longmont. As I rode the rolling hills and country roads between the two cities, it quickly occurred to me that this is going to be really hard. This might have been a terrible idea.
I arrived at the Oskar Blues headquarters and went straight to the REEB frame shop. Chris Sulfrain, the craftsman responsible for all of the frames, met me at the door. He quickly put a beer in my hand and we proceeded to geek-out about frame building and music. I hung out for a couple of days drinking great beers, seeing just how my frame was made and meeting dozens of great people.
Loitering for days at a brewery with a frame shop was pretty cool. But I had to hit the road. Time to get this show on the road. So at sunrise, on a quite Saturday morning in Longmont, I put my feet on the pedals and pointed it east. The Great White Buffalo is in motion and let's see where we end up! Kansas, here I come!

ISIS: Is the Caliphate Cracking? Iraq's Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi is due at the White House on Tuesday, and it's all about the war against ISIS, the so-called Islamic State. Last year, ISIS looked like the world's most dangerous terrorist group — intent on restoring the Caliphate that once ruled all Muslims. Unique for extreme brutality and brilliant Internet propaganda, ISIS forced the US and Iran into an unlikely coalition against it. Now, ISIS is losing captured territory, its sources of money and even competent soldiers. There are signs of internal dissention. But even if it's in partial retreat, it's a likely threat in the Middle East — and to western interests — for years to come.
America's Hostage Policy: Is It Time for a Change? The US and Britain refuse to negotiate with terrorists. Paying ransom will only encourage extremists to raise money by seizing hostages. The parents of American journalist James Foley learned that can have unintended consequences when the so-called Islamic State released video of his beheading. But Foley's former cellmates from France and Spain are alive and well, and ISIS is still holding at least one other American. Now US policy is "under review." Is that real or political posturing? What are the alternatives? We talk with James Foley's mother and others.
Will Iraq Become a Divided Country? In Baghdad today, 44 Sunni prisoners in a government-controlled police station were killed — apparently in retaliation for advances by Sunni extremists with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. As forces of ISIS get closer to Baghdad, it appears that Iraq's current leadership might not hold the country together. The unlikely alliance of Iran and the US is urging political unity instead of sectarian warfare, but they're being ignored by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. Others insist that Iraq never was a real country, and that division between Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds is inevitable. Will the current chaos lead to a re-drawing of national boundaries imposed by European colonial powers 100 years ago?
Mubarak Expected to Step Aside Tahrir Square is packed tonight and there's wild celebration in the aftermath of Mubarak's resignation. Throughout the evening, Egyptians have been massing in Tahrir Square—anticipating that 30 years of repressive government may be about to come to an end. It's still not clear [if he does step down] that protesters around the country—now joined by striking workers—will have won all that they've been demanding. Will the emergency law that suspends civil rights be revoked? Will the military continue to run the country or will there be a transition to civilian rule? We'll talk about what appears to be history in the making in the world's most influential Arab country.
Egyptians Firm on Regime Change, US Pushes Slower Approach Just before yesterday's Super Bowl game, President Obama gave Fox News his latest assessment of events in Egypt. In parts of Cairo today, banks opened and shops were staffed. The Egyptian government wants business as usual, but protesters in Cairo aren't giving an inch and they're considering demonstrations in other cities. Vice President Suleiman met yesterday with a group including the Muslim Brotherhood, and each side has a different version of what really went on. Protest leaders are particularly skeptical about Washington's call for an " orderly transition ," saying it sounds like a recipe for continued repression. We get an update from Tahrir Square, hear different estimates of possible outcomes and discuss why Egypt is so important to American interests.
America Leaves Iraq: Is the Mission Accomplished at Last? Yesterday at the Disabled Veterans of America meeting in Atlanta yesterday, President Obama reminded his audience that, as a candidate, he promised to bring the war in Iraq to what he called, " a responsible end… "
America Leaves Iraq: Is the Mission Accomplished at Last? President Obama did not say "mission accomplished," but he did say yesterday that all combat operations in Iraq will end this month, as he promised. Fifty thousand American troops will remain, but the State Department will lead what's become a civilian effort, using the biggest embassy in the world. But Iraq has no permanent government. There's disagreement over how much violence has really declined and fears it will increase when US troops are gone. Is the US still relevant? What about Iran? How do Iraqis feel about America's role, and what's the future for five million displaced people?
US Troop Withdrawal to Test Iraq's Stability Next Tuesday is the official deadline for US combat troops to withdraw from Iraq's towns and cities. At Iraq's request, the American presence already is being pulled back. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki calls the withdrawal a "great victory" for the Iraqi people. But many Iraqi people have other ideas. A new wave of bombings has now killed more than 200 people in the past two days. Has sectarian violence already resumed between Shiites and Sunnis? Will the Kurds rebel against a central government dominated by Arabs? Will Iran intervene, in part to divert attention away from its own problems?
Fighting in Iraq Threatens Truce Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has issued a deadline for Shiite militias in Basra: lay down your weapons in 72 hours or face "the most severe penalties." We get an update from a reporter in Baghdad and two perspectives on the situation in Iraq.
The Looming Political Battle over Iraq Although Congressional Democrats failed to prevent President Bush's military surge in Iraq last year, they won a concession. They funded the increased deployments, but demanded that the administration report on the success of its operations by September 15. With that day of reckoning almost here, the political battle lines have been drawn. Many Democrats, and a growing number of Republicans, are demanding a withdrawal. The military is stretched to the breaking point, but terrorism remains a threat and the President says the surge needs more time. When General David Petreaus makes his report next week, Bush will face one of his toughest decisions since he launched the war: does the US stay or go? Can Bush continue to fight and still bring some troops home? Guest host Jim Sterngold explores the chaos of Iraq that's taking center stage in the chaotic political arena in Washington.
Senate Debates Military Draw-down in Iraq Democratic Senate leaders staged an all-night debate on their plan to give President Bush just 120 days to start bringing troops home from Iraq. Republicans called it a "circus," a "mockery" and "Kabuki theater." Before noon today, the Democrats lost a procedural vote to cut off debate. Yet, despite today's outcome, there's no doubt that many Republicans are uncomfortable about the President's course in Iraq —especially those who are up for re-election next year, and back an alternative that incorporates recommendations of the Iraq Study Group . Meantime, polls show that a majority of Americans think it's time for the troops to come home. We hear about the marathon session and what's next for efforts to force the President to change direction. We also talk to authorities about troop withdrawal, whether the "surge" still has a chance or if it is only postponing the inevitable.
Pressure Builds to Advance Iraq Timetable President Bush wants to reassure Americans about his strategy in Iraq and stem Republican defections. With the latest Gallup Poll reporting that his approval rating has dropped to a new low of 29%, he's beginning to talk about a draw-down of troops next year, made possible by the " surge ," which he says is just beginning to work. Meantime, senior Republicans are talking about a change of strategy in Iraq. Senator John McCain , just back from Iraq, says that progress is being made, even as his own presidential campaign is faltering. We hear about "progress" on the battlefield and politics in Baghdad and Washington.
President Trump: US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord Trump says he was elected to serve Pittsburgh, not Paris.
Janesville and the American Dream Janesville, Wisconsin is the hometown of Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. But he couldn't prevent the closing of the General Motors factory after 100 years. On this Memorial Day rebroadcast of To the Point, we hear what's happened to what once was a model of American middle-class unity.
Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump President Trump's UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, said today the US might pull out of the United Nations' Human Rights Council. Serious violators of human rights are members of the Council itself–and a US resignation could make things worse. Later on today's show, now that he's into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.
The Trump agenda: where's the beef? President Trump says big things are happening. After celebrating a House bill on health care, he doesn't yet have Senate agreement. With James Comey's public testimony scheduled tomorrow, the President today tweeted his selection of a new FBI Director. Is the Chief Executive all style and no substance? Later, terror attacks in Iran and conflicting claims about who's behind them.

Spanish chef José Andrés is one of those people who sees his work through several different prisms. In his four Washington, D.C., restaurants, he vaults back and forth over the creative fence -- from the edgiest of edgy in one eatery to traditionalist in the other. In his PBS series José Made in Spain, he's all about the culture of the food. And in his culinary think tank, he's the cook with the new techie toys.
What feeds all of this? The running reference you get when you talk to Andrés is the importance of his cookbook collection -- first editions no less.
Lynne Rossetto Kasper: I understand that you collect first-edition cookbooks, and that many of them are in English. How did this start?
José Andrés: Since I was 15 years old when I started in the cooking business, to go and to buy old books that I could afford was a way for me to start connecting with a past that I wanted to know more about.
LRK: What are some of the most significant books for you in the collection?
JA: I have many favorites for many reasons. You need to understand the books: If you listen to them, they are talking to you, not only when you are reading them, but when you have them in your hands, when you open them. The books -- I'm a big listener even if I love to talk too -- they are talking to you. They are telling you things that sometimes you aren't able to find by reading through the books.
1. The Joy of Cooking, by Irma Rombauer, 1931
Every book has a different spirit. The Joy of Cooking to me was very unique because it was my connection to try and understand what happened in America, what American cooking was all about. You need to understand where you belong, and I belong to America right now. Yes, I can try to bring the spirit of Spain and my country into America, but I will do this better if I understand the spirit of America.
When I got the first edition by Irma Rombauer, printed in St. Louis in 1931, and I started going through the pages, I had the feeling that I started understanding what American cooking is today and what the potential of American cooking is tomorrow.
I found many things that were surprising. Some things I will tell you and you will think, "Jose, that's naive." But it's good to be naive when you're searching. One thing, for example, is that it is so funny when Rombauer actually clarifies what frying is. She needs to explain that technically frying in many parts of the world is immersing -- submerging -- a piece of something into a big swimming pool of hot oil. But actually in the southern parts of America, the fried chicken would be more of a pan-fried chicken. To me these kinds of details open amazing ways into understanding what cooking was 70, 80 years ago. That to me is fascinating.
2. The Art of Preserving All Kinds of Animal and Vegetable Substances for Several Years, by Nicolas Appert, 1811
I love history. We have a tendency to think that the moments of war are only negative moments. Yes, we don't want war, but sometimes through those war moments something unique happens. One of my favorite books is by the Frenchman Nicolas Appert. He was the person who invented canning.
Why? Napoleon Bonaparte was more than a war leader who had the big mind to win battles. To win battles, he also had to feed his troops in the war zone. He was giving a big reward to anyone who could come up with a mechanism to achieve this in a simple way. Appert invented canning -- amazing.
3. Arte de Cozina, Pasteleria, Vizcocheria y Conserveria, by Francisco Martínez Montiño, 1611
I have many, many favorites from Spain. In Spain we need to remember that back in the early 17th century, right after the Spaniards discovered America, all the great products were coming through Spanish ports. The tomatoes that we think of today as normal things, the green peppers, the corn, they were all very new.
I got this book printed in 1611 -- I have a later edition -- by a cook named Francisco Martínez Montiño. He was the chef of Philip II, Philip III and Phillip IV during the golden moment of Spanish power. Through this book, you have an idea of what the king was eating and what new ingredients were arriving to the European tables.
They were still very dubious of the food of the Americas. You would think that new ingredients would go into the recipes -- especially the recipes of the king -- overnight. Actually, we had to wait many years later for an Italian book to have the recipe for a tomato sauce that they called Spanish tomato sauce. Even the Italians in this first recipe mentioned that Spain was the first country that carried this everyday tomato sauce.
Going through the book, you can concentrate on one thing alone -- one thing alone will fill not only your entire day, but your entire week, your entire month.

The Easter weekend was abuzz with an online campaign #GuessTheHand, which was conceptualised by the team at Rightangle Productions Ltd to herald the movie – "Oloibiri". The campaign requested participants online and onsite Silverbird Galleria and Ozone Cinema in Lagos, as well as Silverbird and Ceddi Plaza in Abuja to guess the hand of a male Nigerian sticking out of an oil well.
Interestingly, the campaign got noticeable attention as the clues led some participants to guess correctly – that the hand belongs to Richard Mofe Damijo, who was a supporting actor in the movie.
The movie "Oloibiri" speaks the central theme; "Governmental pacification of a long abused people". It addresses this theme through three subject matters: the tragic journey of Oloibiri into developmental retrogression, the socio-cultural under-runs that birth militancy and the governmental intervention to compensate a land, which arguably has been raped of its resources.
An action thriller, "Oloibiri" mirrors fear, dread, international exploitation, governmental responsibility and unseen benefits of desperate hope. Olu Jacobs (AMVCA & AMAA award winning veteran), Richard Mofe Damijo (Multiple award winning actor/politician), William R. Moses (CSI, Touched by an Angel), Taiwo Ajai-Lycett (Multiple award winning actress), Ivie Okujaye (AMVCA) and Ifeanyi Williams all star in this blockbuster.
Revealed online at www.oloibiri.com with adequate social media presence on www.facebook.com/oloibiriretold, www.twitter.com/OloibiriOil, www.instagram.com/oloibiri and www.plus.google.com/+OloibiriOil. The movie has the following core crew: Rogers Ofime; Canadian-based producer/director (Mnet Tinsel, Africa Magic Original films) as the producer, Samantha Iwowo (Bristol, UK) as the scriptwriter and Curtis Graham (GreyHouse Films, USA) as the director.
"Oloibiri" will première across Nigerian and international cinemas from May 2015. It is also scheduled to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival; one of the biggest film festivals in the world on the 19th, 20th and 21st of May 2015.

Delhi (Photo: )
Delhi, a small town in northeastern Louisiana, doesn't have a lot of high-end attractions or an active nightlife. Delhi makes up for it with attractions you won't find in other nearby towns. And if you love the outdoors, this town of 2,900 permanent residents has plenty of green spaces to satisfy.
Poverty Point Reservoir State Park (crt.state.la.us) extends around a 2,700-acre lake with a marina, a small beach and a concession area. The park offers lodges, cabins and RV parking if you want to stay overnight. A half-mile trail cuts through the park, with opportunities especially in the spring and fall for bird watching, given that the park is on the Mississippi Flyway for migrating birds.
Black Bear Golf Club (crt.la.gov), a professional level, 18-hole golf course, offers lush fairways and tree-lined holes. The course boasts a Bechtol-Russell championship design and provides options no matter your skill level. Black Bear overlooks the lake at Poverty Point State Park. The clubhouse offers a pro shop and a lakefront grill.
Wild Country Safari Park (wildcountrysafari.com) is minutes away from the center of town, near the Poverty Point Reservoir State Park. The park covers 240 acres and is home to animals including zebras, camels and giraffes. All the animals roam freely in natural environments. Many of the animals are tame enough for petting, and the park focuses on education and preservation.
The Lucky Dollar Casino (433 Highway 577 S; 318-878-7820) is one of those places you might miss if you blink more than once or look the other way. The small casino, located inside a truck stop and next to a gas station, offers slot machines and tables.

text: How to create an amazing Christmas display 02 December 2015 Penny General, Home cinema, Pro-AV Are you dreading the annual tussle with the tangled ball of Christmas lights? We are too! So we have put together some suggestions on how to create a stunning seasonal spectacle with a twist. Project decorations straight onto your house If you have a shed or a friendly neighbour opposite, you could project your Christmas lights straight onto your house. This avoids battling with blown bulbs and just needs a bright projector, images or animations to project onto the house and somewhere secure under cover where you can place the projector. Your house would be the envy of the neighbourhood! Richard Ayoade, showed how to do this in the Gadget Man Guide to Christmas when decorations and animations were projected directly onto the Gadget Man house. Project onto your windows Line your windows with tracing paper, a frosted shower curtain, a thin cotton sheet or frosted film and you have a screen to project your decorations. This could be a Christmas tree, a festive greeting to your neighbours or Santa in his sleigh. Software design company, Reason, wanted to create a Christmas display on their windows which could be seen by people passing their offices in Spitalfields, London. It showed Santa skimming over the rooftops on his sleigh. Don't get the needle If you are fed up schlepping the tree in from the garden centre (or loft) and spending hours arranging baubles – why not project your tree? All you need is a plain wall and an image of a tree to project. You could make decorations and place these strategically on the wall or have a pre-decorated perfect tree as your projected image. Who knew projectors could be so much fun? And of course you can just use your projector to enjoy your favourite festive flicks and create a cinema feel in your home the whole family can enjoy!

Stated objective: Know your capitals
Lori Borgman
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Fortunately, my father retired before the political correctness
that dominates so much of life today came into vogue. He often said
there were two things that should automatically disqualify a job
applicant: wearing blue eye shadow and not knowing your states and
I suppose he thought that a woman who wore a lot of blue eye
shadow might also be the sort that thought Dallas was the capital
of Montana.
Of course, if you let something like a woman's eye makeup sway
your hiring decision today, you would be accused of eye shadow discrimination,
arrested and sentenced to perform community service with Mary Kay.
In any case, I knew this was an indirect warning to me (born
in Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska, although we then lived in Missouri,
the capital being Jefferson City) that I was not to wear blue eye
shadow and that I could be quizzed on the states and capitals at
any time.
I knew how he wove states and capitals into conversation at home
- he simply asked - but I always wondered how he wove them into
his interviews. "Now, I see here it says you are originally from
Wisconsin. Isn't Wisconsin next to Minnesota? What is the capital
of Minnesota anyway?"
If you said St. Paul, you got the job; if you said Sacramento,
you were out the door.
The importance of states and capitals so stuck with me that we
still have the plastic placemats featuring states and capitals in
a kitchen drawer from when the kids were small. One side has colorful
states and cities identified and the flip side is black and white
with state outlines and stars for where the capitals reside. They're
real crowd pleasers at holidays, parties and family gatherings when
the conversation wanes or someone starts going on about their African
violet collection.
"Who knows the capital of Arizona?"
"Anyone been to the capital of South Dakota lately?"
The husband and I are confident of our states and capitals, but
I can't let go of the placemats. It turns out this is a good thing,
as the oldest daughter recently called from the car to settle a
debate between her and her husband over the capital of Maine. I
was stunned to know she was considering Portland.
"I'll put the placemats in the mail!" I shrieked.
Several weeks later we took a short road trip with her family
and I announced we would compete for prizes based on knowledge of
states and capitals. Naturally, everyone brushed up and handled
the competition in a mature fashion, which meant they screamed out
the names of capitals before I could finish saying the state.
I then ratcheted up the game by asking for the four capitals
that have "City" in their name and all the capitals that start with
the letter "A."
It was a productive drive through New Jersey (Trenton), New York
(Albany) and Massachusetts (Boston). If any of us interview for
a job soon and the decision is based on state capitals, we are good
to go.
And, no, I'm not telling you the capital of Maine. You'll remember
it better if you look it up yourself. Or buy a placemat.

I created it as 3TiB ext4 partition initially, and when I went to mount it, mount told me that it was a wrong fs type, bad superblock, missing codepage and many other dreadful things, even though it was created and mounted fine on Ubuntu 10.04. I got the idea that Debian Live doesn't support ext4 as of debian-live-507-i386-lxde-desktop.img, so I used ext3.

you still havent answered the question.
My original belief is that the N54 was still used in the 335is/1M/Z4 35is, so if this is the truth then BMW is mislabling the engine as an N55 on their website because TwinPower is specific to the Twin-Scroll Turbo of the N55 motor.
As for the straight cylinder configuration,
its just tradition
. And just posted the motor weights, which is pointless since you have to put a motor into a chassis eventually. The E46 M3 coupe weighed 3,415 lbs, while the E92 3,704 lbs -- so much for the 15 lbs lighter.

also alpina, isnt "aftermarket". its very integrated with bmw, but offers a warranty through them (this is in europe). the example is just invalid as a comparison here, because their pricing structure builds in a cash float for any warranty work in the future should bmw invalidate for aftermarket products. your burger tuning or vishnu doesnt do that. dinan does. compare pricing and you see the same trend. how long as dinan been pimped at bmw dealerships?
bmw has offered "performance" parts for a while, but they technically dont go with the warranty of it, its under accessory warranty, slightly different.
As for this shit, the M7 is not realistic -- The closest you'll get is 760 twin-turbo V12. Alpina does have the best working relationship with BMW, but it is an independent business and is an aftermarket company, the B7 is the only Alpina you can buy directly from BMW. The relationship is exactly the same as Ford selling the GT500. Just like how you don't see every Shelby model being sold in a Ford dealer, you don't see every Alpina model being sold in BMW dealers (B3 BiTurbo / B5 BiTurbo). The European tuners (Alpina, Hamann, AC Schnitzer, Hartge, etc.) are much more respected & much larger when you compare them to anything here in the states, whether it be Cobb, Vishnu or Burger Tuning. Dinan is essentially North America's version of Alpina (it's actually specific to the North American BMW market), you can walk into specific BMW dealers (found here:
) and buy a Dinan-tuned BMW & have it serviced by that same dealer. The minute you buy a Alpina/Dinan BMW, it no longer is under BMW's warranty but instead the independent aftermarket company's.

Facebook has big ambitions.
Over the last few years, the company has launched a handful projects and aspirations that go far beyond its namesake social networking feed of photos, status updates and news articles.
Although Facebook's arch-rival Google was the first internet company to develop ambitious so-called "moonshot" projects, such as self-driving cars, Facebook is quickly amassing a large collection of its own ambitious initiatives.
Here are some of the big "moonshots" that Facebook is working on:


text:
* North Laurel: 9700 block of Country Meadows Lane: A $120 radar detector was stolen from a Honda Accord Monday or Tuesday.
* Scaggsville: 8600 block of Tower Drive: Someone stole several items -- including a $400 CD player and $300 worth of CDs -- from a Ford Escort between Saturday and Tuesday. Police said the thief broke the driver side rear window to enter the vehicle.

In February 2007, the United States federal debt stood at $8.7 trillion, more than doubling over the term of George W. Bush's presidency. The situation will only get worse over time with known future spending such as payment of social security to the baby boom generation. The issues? The United States has had a history of consumption, spending more than it has available, especially during war years, most specifically during World War II and the Iraq conflict of the 21st century. There is also a history of non saving, both by the government and by individuals which leads to lack of investment moneys. And in the new global economy, the United States has the highest trade deficit in the world, reliant on other countries, especially China which holds more than half of the United States' treasury bonds. Overriding these issues is a lack of political leadership, politicians who really don't seem to know how to get the country out of this financial hole.

November 1999
By Bobby Bush
Following an eye-opening trip to Czechoslovakia in 1978, Marty Velas returned to his home in California with brewing on his mind. As with most of his career, he was in the right place at the right time when he joined the Maltose Falcons, the nation's oldest homebrewers club, while working for Hughes Aircraft in Southern California. By 1986, the amiable beer enthusiast had had enough of the aerospace industry and took a drastic corrective change in career course.
Turning passion into sustenance, professional brewing became Marty's main interest. In 1989, as part of his training, Velas spent four months as a journeyman at Hofbrauhaus Traunstein in Southern Bavaria. Upon return, he assumed the brewmaster position at the first Los Angeles area microbrewery, Alpine Brewing Company (now micro Southern California Brewing), a German-style restaurant/brewery in Torrance. Before morphing from brewer to brewing consultant in 1992, Marty developed and directed, in conjunction with brewing equipment supplier Bohemian Breweries in Redondo Beach, a hands-on brewing school called The American Craftbrewers' Academy. Joining the ranks of academicians, he also instructed brewing science classes at UCLA.
Marty literally traversed the globe as a much sought after consultant and played a key role in establishing Japan's first craft brewery in 1994. Late that year, the hustling brewery expert landed an assignment as consultant to Copper Cellar Corporation (CCC), a restauranteur concern based in eastern Tennessee. That project, Calhoun's BBQ & Brew in Knoxville, opened in January 1995. It also opened a window of opportunity for Velas and his wife. By March 1996, Velas signed on as Copper Celler's Director of Brewing Operations and left beer-friendly California behind.
Some thirty miles away, Velas designed a second brewpub for Copper Cellar. Smoky Mountain Brewing Company began operation in Gatlinburg in December 1996. Today, both operations are near capacity, practically bursting at the seams of their shiny brew kettles. The Knoxville location, which specializes in delicious smoked meats, produced 1300 barrels last year at about a 50/50 lager/ale mix. Mountain Light, a crisp low-calorie lager and the requisite beginner's beer, starts the line-up. Thunder Road, a traditional Saaz-hopped pilsner, joins Mountain Light as the brewpub's best sellers. Inspired by Irish "red" ales, Cherokee Ale is a smooth, medium bodied creation, while Tuckaleechee Porter, a hefty flavorful brew, bats cleanup. Half of Calhoun's output is distributed to CCC's eleven other operations.
In Gatlinburg, just a stone's throw from country music mecca DollyWood, Black Bear Ale, a malty brown ale, subs for the Porter. The Vienna-style LeConte Lager is also on tap. Smoky Mountain serves no national beers, just their own.
Each week, Velas travels to-and-fro, Knoxville to Gatlinburg and back, on his brewing tour of duty. With assistance from Jay McGough at Calhoun's and Cris Corneliussen at Smoky Mountain, the breweries also offer a range of seasonal selections, including Red Fox Fest, Winter Warmer, Capricator Bock and Windy GapWheat Ale. Smoky Mountain hit 1255 barrels in '98, with 95% consumed on site. The remainder went to the Calhoun's facility just a few yards down LeConte Creek. Velas is making plans to install a bottling line later this year, primarily so other CCC restaurants will be able to keep a wider variety of beers in stock.
Once the bottling line is up and running, chief brewer Velas will have another problem, albeit a good one: producing even more of his award-winning beer. Life should be filled with such worrisome concerns. Stop in for a plate of steaming, finger-licking ribs and some delicious beer. The combination is scintillating.

General Session
Donny has been singing and entertaining audiences for 50 years. He has starred on Broadway and in Las Vegas. He has sold millions of records. He has hosted a variety of TV shows. Now, he says, he's anxious to share stories (and maybe a song) in a completely different venue. "I'm already looking forward to this exciting event," Donny said. "Family and family stories are obviously very important to me. This is a chance to connect to something that is part of who I am."
Donny will be releasing his 60th album just days before the conference. The album, "The Soundtrack of My Life" tells the story of his remarkable life.
Most people associate Donny with a large family, but they might not realize the Osmonds are avid family historians. They have tracked down and visited cousins and relatives overseas. They support family research on ancestors in multiple countries. The Osmond Family Organization even maintains and updates its own genealogical database and website.
Donny will kick off the final day of FGS and RootsTech 2015. To reserve your ticket to see Donny Osmond register today for FGS 2015.
FGS 2015 is scheduled for February 11–14 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
