|To me a good Cowboy Burger should have a smoky element and a spicy element - Worcestershire, BBQ & steak sauce, just a dash of Liquid Smoke, and a bit of cayenne and chipotle chili powder. Top it with thick cut peppered bacon.
Cowboy BurgersI love burgers on the grill and there are about a million ways to make them I suppose. Some people are burger purists - insisting that burgers must be meat and nothing more, putting all of the additional flavors on top of the cooked burger. Others don't mind mixing flavor accents right into their burgers. I personally like burgers both ways, and this recipe is one of those mix-in types.
I have no idea how Cowboy Burgers came to be named, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with football and everything to do with hard working ranch hands. They do usually involve some element of steak sauce and bacon at minimum.
To me a Cowboy Burger should have a smoky element and a spicy element - so I like to use a combination of Worcestershire, BBQ and steak sauce, with just a dash of Liquid Smoke, and a bit of cayenne and chipotle chili powder and then like to top them with a thick cut peppered bacon. That combination gives a nice, spicy kick, without setting your mouth on fire. I prefer not to use salt on burgers for the most part since it tends to draw out moisture.
Here's a tip. If you line a baking pan with aluminum foil, you can use it to place the raw burger patties on, and then, once you transfer those to the grill, remove the foil, discard it, and reuse the baking pan to carry in the cooked hamburger patties.

Recipe: Cowboy Burgers©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 10 min | Yield: About 6 to 8 burgers
- Thick cut, peppered bacon, at least one slice per burger, cooked crisp
- 2.25 pounds ground chuck
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon steak sauce (like A1)
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Splash of Liquid Smoke, optional
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1-2 large Vidalia or yellow onion, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices with rings intact, battered and deep fried or raw, 1 slice per burger
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Additional Garnishes: Mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, Fire 'n Ice pickles or pickled jalapenos.
Cook the bacon to crisp and set aside. Place the ground beef in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, steak, bbq and Worcestershire sauces, and Liquid Smoke, with the chili powder and cayenne. Add to the ground beef and use a fork to toss. Form into 6 to 8 large, tight balls and place onto a foiled lined baking sheet. Gently flatten and shape the patties and create a very slight thumb indention into them. This will help the burgers from puffing up and becoming rounded instead of flat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Brush both sides of the onion slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; set aside.
When ready to cook, grill the burgers on well-oiled grates, indented side up first, over direct and high heat, for about 3 minutes, or until seared and browned. Turn and continue cooking until done, another 2 to 4 minutes, or until done to desired level. Do not press down on the burgers! Meanwhile also add the onions to the grate and cook until lightly browned, turn and cook other side. Toast buns on the top rack of the grill.
Place a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of the bun. Add the burger and top with BBQ sauce and pickles or jalapenos. Sprinkle with a pinch of shredded cheddar and top with grilled onion, tomato, bacon and lettuce. Serve immediately.
Makes 6 to 8 burgers, depending on the size

National Tooth Fairy Day
By Dr. Harold Katz – Bad Breath Expert
Posted: February 21, 2014
Posted: February 21, 2014
Get out the wands and dollar bills, because Friday, Feb. 28 is National Tooth Fairy Day. This holiday celebrates one of children's favorite visitors. Since losing baby teeth is sometimes a traumatic experience for young children, entering the magical world of the smiling, gift-giving Tooth Fairy helps wash fears away. Whether your child is scared about the pain or what his or her mouth will look like afterward, this is the day to help. National Tooth Fairy Day marks a great opportunity to share with your kids the importance of keeping your teeth bright and healthy from a young age. Say so long to cavities and bad breath. Studies have shown that how well children take care of their baby teeth often translates into how well they will take care of their teeth as adults. However, there is one simple, yet frequently overlooked fact: Children's smiles depend on their parents. Encourage your kids to brush, floss and eat smart every day. Don't forget about visits to the dentist, either! Working on habits surrounding oral health for kids will give them a head start on a lifetime of picture-perfect teeth. Four magical tips So, before parents tuck money under their child's pillow at night, here are three things they should put to use to keep their kids smiling through the gaps in their teeth - these tips could even save you money on dental treatments down the line.
- Brush following the "two-and-two" rule: twice a day for two minutes each. Most people spend only 46 seconds brushing, according to Delta Dental. It's time to step up your child's game! For youngsters, one good way to do this is to bring your smartphone or mp3 player into the bathroom and play their favorite song. Have them brush until the two-minute mark. For pre-teens, you and your spouse could decide to lengthen TV-watching privileges or cut down one of their chores for good oral care habits.
- Floss once a day. Though often considered the forgotten middle child of hygiene routines, flossing is extremely important, since it can dislodge food particles from nooks that a toothbrush cannot reach. Some dentists find that flossing before brushing proves to be more effective in developing the practice into a habit, since after we brush we sometimes get the false notion that our mouths feel clean enough, and we will forego flossing.
- Fun tip: Demonstrate what flossing does. Please note that it's a bit messy! In the kitchen, put on a pair of plastic (kitchen) gloves, then smear peanut butter, preferably chunky, over one side of your fingers and between them all the way down to your knuckles. Then, squeezing your fingers together, have your child try to brush your fingers, which are serving as the substitute for teeth. Does the toothbrush clean the food stuck between the fingers? Now, instruct your child to floss between your fingers. A lot better, right? This exercise will help visualize the power of flossing.
- Visit the dentist once every six months. There doesn't have be an issue with your child's teeth for them to go in. In fact, their dentist - and tooth fairy - will be more than pleased to see them when they don't have problems! If you notice long-lasting halitosis, or bad breath, it may be a sign of an underlying issue for your child, such as a rotting tooth. If the tooth finally comes loose, yank it and leave it for the tooth fairy. Otherwise, consult your dental professional.

text: Thought I would pass on this essay I wrote after working on this concept for a few years. I am from Eugene, OR, where winter gardening is feasible. I learned from Bill Mollison: the only thing you have when you die is what you have given away. LIBERATED SALAD - BIODIVERSITY AT THE TABLE (Public domain document: when appropriate, please credit Kathy Ging,, POB 11245 Eugene, OR, 97440 e-mail: email@example.com.) -START_ A one hour a week organic oasis and urban victory for gardener *wanna bees* with no time, a pale green thumb and a littlespace, Liberated Salad is a flamboyant vegetable bouquet anyone can grow. Liberated Salad is an excellent mini-garden for singles, busy homemakers, seniors, working folks and better-abled persons who will not buy a frig full of greens to make a couple salads a day, nor invest in a hundred different seed packs to plant a littlespace, yet love to eat fresh garden salads. Liberated Salad is a mixture of up to 100 greens and ruby reds grown in garden beds or boxes selectively harvested in modest amounts in a 3-8+ month growing season, needing minimum water, time and nutrients. In many years in some parts of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) the growing season can be 9+ months with no protective coverings. Liberated Salad is twice liberated! It liberates you from the definition of a gardener whose hands are often dirty, brow sweaty and back sore. You liberate the salad defined as a bland pale lettuce and a lifeless square tomato to a balanced bed of nutritious greens and ruby reds. *Eat the outer leaves and let the inner grow.* Plants are not consumed in one picking as for commercial markets. Plants live longer, allowing abundant harvest of red, green and purple visual delights with zesty flavors, exuberant color and diverse shapes and sizes - round, scalloped, curled and ruffled leaves, Some plants, like biennials, survive a couple years. Kales with thick contorted stalks can still produce tender leaves eaten raw or cooked. Some broccoli varieties can live for 5 years! Sometimes I plant all the same seeds in a row instead of the liberated salad mix. I will leave a couple hearty, attractive or unique plants when finally harvesting the row. Planting a new row around these mavericks and rogues relieves the monotony of all in a straight military row garden. Inter-cropping confuses pests. The garden becomes a textured palette! Plants become more intriguing, enticing you to nurture them to more creative growth. Gardening is more fun - a child in a play room instead of a gardener doing hard labor. Because it is enjoyable, garden and gardener animate each other. Each year, every garden is unique with variations that plant spirits exhibit! Mark these 3 - 4 *holidays* on a calendar as annual planting days: Valentine*s Day (Feb. 14), St. Patrick*s Day (March 17), and April Fool*s Day or Earth Day (April 1 or 22). Start seeds indoors in February and move out usually in March depending on climactic zone. (Most of these, remember, are not frost sensitive plants like tomatoes, squash or peppers.) I use flats or tofu containers with sterile soil, often adding a small amount of screened compost, not usually sterilized. Seaweed spray like Maxi-crop (mixed l/4 - 1/2 teaspoon to 1 gal. water) can increase drought and frost resistance and control pests. I soak the newly planted flats with Maxi-crop and spray plants a couple times. Rock dust is also good for plants. Will permaculture wonderlands result? Two experiments I encourage you to do is to plant all hundred kinds of seeds in 2-3 beds; allow them to go to seed and regrow. Become familiar with your local zone: then start your own Liberated Salad mix by buying or saving a hundred kinds of seeds with a 30-215 day growing cycle, mixing them in a bowl, then packaging in l/2 teaspoon amounts in small jewelry size zip lock bags. Ideally, one would separate the 100 seeds and put a few in each bag, so that every bag had a few of each 100 seeds. But this is labor intensive. Consider inviting a few folks to help. Give the Liberated Salad seeds away, trade or sell them. Store in a capped jar in a cool dark dry location (desiccant packet in jar prevents moisture.) Winter gardens are even less work than spring and summer gardens, needing little water and weeding. In some years I eat for 7 - 8 months - until mid-April - from one planting September 1! In the PNW one or more plantings can begin Aug. 1-31 and Sept. 1-15. Siberian Express winters can freeze much of the garden, but hardier edibles like chicory and kale can survive. For instance, I have discovered safety nets by planting in micro-zones, i.e., on two or more sides of my house. The frost zones apparently can skip beds under a certain tree or at a certain direction from a house. Also, different height plants will survive frost better than others - more reason for successive plantings in late summer. Noting recent climate vagaries, it is possible that we may experience more temperature extremes and will need to be as cunning as Odysseus in designing food strategies for limited urban growing spaces, sometimes limited water and busy schedules. We need time to share new Liberated Salad varieties with friends via potlucks and computers, don't we? Bill Mollison, Permaculture movement founder, reports that Eco-Net (Peace-Net) has a world-wide teleconference on permaculture; (might it be a good forum for Liberated Salad info turfing?) Keep a journal or garden log of your discoveries. I video my garden over several years. I rarely transplant a whole four inch row from seedling container to the garden at the same time. A *four inch row* can hold several dozen seedlings! Instead, I transplant about two-thirds of the plants in my container, (2/3 in.) so in case of weather or pest attack, some that remained in the pot have grown large enough to increase transplant survival rate. Also, by leaving some in the container, succession planting allows continual harvest. Transplanting the critters when they are very small is ok - I often transplant when only one set of leaves appears. My transplant rate is almost 100%. Also, in hot weather, the smaller the plant, the less likely it is that it will wilt when transplanted unless damp-off is present. Raised beds are preferable because the soil warms up earlier, is drier and can be worked earlier than water-logged PNW soils. Because a fair amount of compost is used in beds, the soil is rich and can be planted intensively. (In compost is the future wealth of America! I often exclaim.) For example, in a 3 or 4 by 10 foot space, 21 rows are planted 3-4 inches apart. Imagine solid beds of food - for family, friends and elves. The raised beds transplanted with starts germinated from seed on Aug. l and Sept. 1 produce bountiful food . Spacing the starts close together - 3 - 4 in. apart - helps to prevent moisture loss and excessive weeding, a method known as *living mulch.* Growing Liberated Salad, take one giant step toward a more self-reliant healthy organic food future. Liberated Salad is one answer to world starvation. It conserves water, fertilizer, space, gas (no need to drive to buy food when homemade gomasio on a salad tastes better than popcorn!) Homemade gomasio is far superior to the store-bought variety. The simple recipe: lightly roasted brown unhulled (preferably organic) sesame seeds in an ungreased skillet, add a sea salt pinch, grind in a blender (or buy a shaker that grinds as you use it). Gomasio is delicious in salads (I mean RAVE reviews), soups, stir fries, cereal, or as a snack. This salad may be the best in the world! For salad seasonings: experiment with light dustings of kelp and dulse (deep charcoal and wine red seaweeds), brewer's yeast, cayenne, algae, squirts of amino acids, olive, flax, hemp or other vegetable oil, soy sauce, umeboshi plum vinegar, fresh lemon or lime juice. Liberated Salad dressing is made with these and raw organic ground sesame and sunflower seeds, garlic, miso, a hit of Szechuan sauce and pomegranate molasses and a dozen herbs. Whole grain croutons add zest and crunchiness. A decade ago I would rarely eat or buy kale, cabbage, mustard, turnip greens. But since these succulent greens grow in my yard almost year round, I now treasure them. I usually have something with which to create a meal. Now I eat more according to what is in season and buy almost 100% organic food for items which I do not grow. I can afford to buy organic food if I don't waste food. Organic food is nutritionally superior as DoctorUs Data Lab pioneer study by Bob Smith confirms. A state of the art spectrometer where 38 minerals in 8 crops were identified indicated that organically grown foods are 200-250% higher than conventional foods for 38 minerals tested - potassium, etc. The Journal of Applied Nutrition quickly accepted and printed it; doctors are ordering thousands of copies for patients who are under-nourished. Free -1-800-323-2784. Other recent studies indicate that those who eat organic foods don*t need vitamins. Liberated Salad is an innovative eating experiment based on the Sanskrit concept, Ahimsa (harmlessness) and a nonviolent diet. When 7 sources of protein are added to Liberated Salad, it is a delicious satisfying main course: e.g., sesame and sunflower seed dressing, parmesan, goat , hemp seed, tofurella or other cheeses, multi-grain croutons, raw or marinated beans, smoked or raw tofu and a few kinds of sprouts. Add a crunch by mixing equal parts of sprouted lentils, aduki beans and whole green peas also alfalfa, sunflower, radish, buckwheat and others, Eat Liberated salad as a main course or side dish for 9-10 months a year. Even when the heavy frost came in mid-November, 1991, I went out at midnight to cover the raised beds for the first time. Although every leaf was hard - almost frozen - the next day there was almost no damage to my winter garden. I was pleasantly surprised that my experiment had worked. We have a lot to learn. During Siberian Express winters, beds were covered about 14 times - not every night. Use a tarp and put bricks on edges. Amity Foundation (now folded) in Eugene, OR, found in experiments in the early eighties that 3-5 times as much food can be grown in Willamette Valley with simple protective clear plastic made into a tunnel covering or bell cloche. Their book Gardening under Cover may be available in some libraries, or read other books on cloches. Experiment with protective coverings or more permanent hotbeds, cold beds or greenhouses, free-standing or attached, to the South or East of a house, barn or outbuilding. Consider designing a small solar heated structure including water or rock storage. Plastic lasts one to 20 years while fiberglass can last 20 years and glass 700+ years (European cathedrals!). Some plastic can be recycled, though, and it costs only about 50 cents sq. ft for a commercial size plastic greenhouse which can be put up in 1-2 days. Soon a new material called Cloud-gel (smart weather panels) may be available, allowing light and heat for house and greenhouse. Many temperate climate fertile valleys like Willamette Valley can abundantly grow early spring and winter gardens. One could make a few hundred dollars a month with a modest outlay by growing liberated salad for markets or for subscription customers. Winter Gardening in the Maritime Northwest, a good reference book by Binda Colebrook, was a catalyst to my becoming more creative in selection of garden and purple wonders. Over the last 10 years, the 40 seeds in my seed mixture have grown to a happy 100 varieties - 25 kinds of lettuce and many basils, kales, mustards, spinach, coriander, arugula collards, chards, a few herbs and others. With only 100, I probably miss a few gems! Send me your suggestions. I have distributed 1,500 Liberated Salad seed packs in the last decade to people from over 100 countries. Save the seeds-eat forever! In Nov. my sister, Nancy, walked to her Pittsburgh, PA, suburban garden, and found a measure of independence-the last of her Liberated Salad planted in July. Liberated Salad transforms into Liberated Steamed Veggies in fall and winter (using also roots grown separately). It has been as well received as Liberated Salad. Imagine a rainbow in a dish: deep purple Peruvian and yellow Finn potatoes, wine red, gold and pink and white striped beets (chiogga), purple and green ruffled kales, mustards, broccoli, turnip and beet greens, orange squash chunks, carrots, earthy turnip, onion and garlic, spinach, celery, cabbage and burdock. A principal ingredient in an anti-cancer diet and two formulas, BURDOCK (edible gobo root) is gaining popularity. It is easily grown and can be a perennial. It is a central ingredient of ESSIAC tea (Canadian cancer nurse Rene Caisse*s formula from the Indians) and HOXSEY formula for cancer control (from Mexico). To me, its flavor is like coconut and ginseng! The Liberated Steamed vegetable platter satisfies the senses - delights the eye, scents the air, helps immunize the body, deters cancer. Sparky mustard greens, cabbage, kale, roquette - arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and other cruciferae have pro-life, anti-cancer properties. (Ahimsa blessings to Linda and Allen Kapuler, Ph.D., for giving me diverse seeds to grow so that Liberated Salad evolved to the edible rainbow bouquet it is today. Emerging from his role as the organic vegetarian non-violent food system shaman, Allen has developed into the biodiverse amino, health and nutrition scientific defender at the table.) Organic seeds can be purchased from Seeds of Change POB 15700 Santa Fe, NM 87501, 505-438-8080, of which Allen and Linda are part owners. -END_

After losing 32 times at the ballot box, same- sex marriage advocates scored a victory Tuesday when Maine voters legalized gay and lesbian marriages.
"Now, the commitment gay and lesbian couples have made in life will be respected equally under the law, celebrated before their loved ones, and called what it is: marriage," said Marc Solomon, national campaign director of the pro-same-sex marriage group Freedom to Marry.
"It's hard to overstate the national significance of this vote," said Solomon, a former organizer in California. "For years, our opponents have argued that we could not win a majority vote at the ballot. Today, Maine voters proved them wrong, standing up for the golden rule and for freedom for all Mainers."

Writing Resource Center
Write Well. Your Career Depends On It.
Writing is an integral part of lawyering. Excellence in legal writing is often the cornerstone of success in the profession. Recognizing this, The John Marshall Law School offers a rigorous writing curriculum that spans four semesters. The school also provides an in-house Writing Resource Center where students can refine their legal writing skills. The Center is staffed by five professional advisors and is directed by a full-time writing specialist. Advisors meet with students in one-on-one conferences, tailoring assistance to each student's needs. The Center also offers interactive group workshops on a variety of legal writing topics.
Learn More About Our Workshops
Students use the Writing Resource Center throughout their legal education. New students adjusting to the unique demands of legal writing often find it particularly helpful to meet with an advisor. And typically, more than half of all new students work with an advisor during the first year of law school. Continuing students, especially those enrolled in Lawyering Skills or paper courses, regularly use the Center to fine-tune their writing. Writing advisors also help advanced degree students, exiting students who are seeking jobs, and students for whom English is a second language. Writing advisors are available to help with writing-related questions, including questions on grammar, citation, organization, and persuasion.

Transfer news: Reading close to snapping up Royston Drenthe
Reading are close to completing the capture of Royston Drenthe, with his agent claiming a deal is ready to be signed.
Last Updated: 17/06/13 4:12pm
The Dutch midfielder, who took in a loan spell at Everton in 2011/12, is believed to be flying in to London on Monday to put the finishing touches to a move.
A three-year deal is said to be awaiting the former Real Madrid man at the Madejski Stadium, with his representative revealing on Friday that an agreement was imminent.
Fabian Veldwijk now claims that the paperwork to bring Drenthe back to England could be completed in the next few hours, with the 26-year-old having secured his release from Russian outfit Alania Vladikavkaz.
Veldwijk said: "He's going to England. He is going to sign the contract and hopefully it will be finished tonight.
"Everything is going to happen today. The father is going with him to make sure everything is agreed.
"We have a pretty good feeling that everything will be taken care of. He is really excited about it."

The animation also features Macca singing 'Heart of the Country'
Paul McCartney has taken to Twitter to post an animated clip featuring his late wife, photographer Linda McCartney.
The colourful video, which is soundtracked by Paul McCartney singing 'Heart of the Country', shows an animated Linda McCartney – complete with her camera – walking alongside a host of animals and cooking for them. Click above to watch it.
This has led to speculation that the clip is part of a new advertising campaign for Linda McCartney's range of vegetarian foods.
'Heart of the Country' was written by Paul and Linda McCartney and originally featured on the 1971 album, 'Ram'.
He posted the video alongside the following tweet:
Paul McCartney and the remaining members of Nirvana recently revealed the studio recording of 'Cut Me Some Slack', a song they recorded together.
'Cut Me Some Slack' was written for Dave Grohl's forthcoming documentary Sound City. The track was first performed at a Hurricane Sandy fundraiser in New York in December 2012.
The Sound City soundtrack is titled 'Sound City – Real to Reel' and will also also feature collaborations between Grohl and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac – on 'You Can't Fix This' – and between Grohl, Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Joshua Homme and Nine Inch Nails man Trent Reznor, who team up on a song called 'Mantra'.
The film marks Grohl's directorial debut and tells the story of the legendary California recording studio where classics such as Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' and Nirvana's 'Nevermind' were recorded. It will be shown at US film festival Sundance, which runs from January 17-27.

Wikitravel:Local spam blacklist : Différence entre versions
Version du 5 octobre 2008 à 18:41
This is the local blacklist for Wiki spam URLs for Wikitravel. It's used by the spam filter to block contributions that use these URLs.
To add a URL to the spam filter list just add the spam URL including everything after the "http://" and before the first "/" to the list.
In addition, the spam filter uses what are called regular expressions, so special characters such as periods need to be escaped by putting a "\" in front of them. For example, "http://spam.spammer.net/foo.html" would be added as "spam\.spammer\.net". Notice that we don't include the "http://" nor anything after the first "/" following the "http://" so "/foo.html" should not be added.
One caveat is that if the entire domain seems to be used only for spam we don't bother to worry about sub-domains and in the example above would just list "spammer\.net".
For the spam filter to work properly you must indent one (1) space and keep the list in alphabetical order.

Lightsquared cremation postponed
Corpse can keep walking about for another year
Troubled cellular disrupter LightSquared has apparently managed to extend its debt burden again, potentially keeping the company afloat until September next year.
The deal with its debtors releases $190m of locked-up collateral, but still sees LightSquared paying off $6.25m a month on its $1.1bn debt as part of its bankruptcy agreement. The details come from Bloomberg, and follow the wannabe operator's Chapter 11 filing in May.
Since that filing, one group of creditors has been arguing over repayments, locking up the cash reserves, but later conceded the collateral would have to be freed up. This came after LightSquared filed papers stating that without access to the money it would be forced to immediately fold and liquidate its assets.
Those assets include a deal with British satellite company Inmarsat for radio spectrum, which LightSquared had intended to use to deploy a national phone network covering America. But LS never got to use the spectrum after the FCC reversed its previous ruling on the legality of filling the band with mobile telephony – based on the perception that it too could interfere with GPS systems - but the deal could be revived should the FCC's position change (again).
Slightly more tangible is the radio spectrum LightSquared itself owns, but that's located right beside the GPS bands (as opposed to the spectrum it bought from Inmarsat, which is 10MHz of bandwidth further down the dial). Given the FCC's decision that protecting GPS kit outweighs everything else then no one is ever likely to be able to deploy anything very useful in those bands.
LightSquared will spend a chunk of its money arguing that the FCC illegally devalued that spectrum, and that it spent huge amounts of money on the basis of FCC advice that it would be OK to run phones in the band, but that's an argument for another day.
LightSquared's other asset, and it's biggest one both physically and financially, is the massive satellite it has flying. SkyTerra 1 has a 22-metre reflector, and will deliver 400Kb/sec to anyone in America, but to make back the cost of the bird LightSquared would have to charge more than anyone in America would pay.
The box-o'-frogs business plan was to use the bird to provide infill to the burgeoning mobile network, and LightSquared even signed up customers and recruited Nokia to develop compatible handsets. For a while it even looked possible but now it's further off than it has ever been.
The only hope of resurrection now lies in a spectrum swap with the US military, and LightSquared points out that there is precedent – even if it was on a much smaller scale – and that a swap could be accomplished without concerted lobbying on the part of every existing mobile operator in the US, as any LightSquared deal on its supposedly "GPS interfering" spectrum would certainly attract. ®

One recent M&A deal that exemplifies the trend towards greater consolidation was GE Energy's $3.2 billion cash deal in March to acquire Converteam, the French manufacturer of motors and controls for the energy sector, including direct drives used in wind turbines.
GE says the takeover of Converteam, which posted 2010 revenues of $1.5 million, strengthens its equipment offering across its entire energy business - oil, gas and wind. Converteam offers electric alternatives to mechanical processes including drives, power electronics, rotating machines, generators and controls. The firm has 5,300 employees worldwide and operates in 80 countries.
Integrated solution
Announcing the deal, GE Energy president and CEO John Krenicki said: "Converteam's people, products and services connect a lot of pieces in our portfolio, which will enable us to offer integrated solutions to our customers".
Another deal driving the wind energy sector towards greater scale was last month's agreement between Gamesa and China's largest wind developer, Longyuan, to pursue projects jointly outside China. Xie Changjun, president of Longyuan, said: "In Gamesa we have found the ideal partner for our growth strategy, thanks to its comprehensive understanding of the business."
Gamesa has also signed memoranda of understanding with China Resources Power and Datang.
In another consolidating deal, American Superconductor (AMSC) announced in March its $265 million acquisition of Finnish company The Switch.
Does the trend towards takeovers and other forms of consolidation enhance the wind industry supply chain or threaten its competitiveness? Johnathan Reynolds, business development director of North Sea offshore wind industry group Orbis Energy, sounds a word of caution: "We are seeing a lot of vertical integration across the supply chain, such as SSE's investment in Bifab and Siemens in A2Sea. While this is a good thing from the point of view of securing key contractors for the longer-term benefit of the offshore wind industry and to mitigate potential bottlenecks as the sector grows, it does offer challenges in terms of competitiveness and access to key contracts from other suppliers."
Orbis is working with developers and manufacturers to improve understanding of opportunities for supply chain growth and to identify how businesses can play to their strengths and gain competitive advantage.
Others view M&A activity as part of the natural evolution of the wind industry. "There is no escaping the fact that, if renewable energy and emissions targets worldwide are to be met, we need to scale up the wind energy industry very quickly, particularly offshore," says senior renewables analyst Alex Desbarres, from business information firm Datamonitor. "To move away from reliance on subsidies in order to address security of energy supply and climate change targets, wind players must rapidly and significantly scale up their operations. Consolidation is a natural evolutionary market response which will enable the wind sector to gain traction."
Bad news for smaller players
Judging the GE-Converteam deal to be "a good fit", Desbarres adds: "This might look like a blow to competition, but it's only a temporary blip. Deals like this might actually challenge the remaining players to innovate. This might be one step back for some of the smaller players, but it's two steps forward for the wider industry".
Datamonitor has identified other deals as also forming part of the consolidation occurring within the global wind energy industry. These include deals agreed in the past three years such as International Power and Trinergy Wind, SSE and Airtricity, Acciona and Woilica, EDP and Horizon Wind Energy, and Iberdrola and CPV Wind.
For Steven Hughes, operations director at medium-sized international renewables developer RES, a general trend towards consolidation is inevitable.
"The industry needs to scale up," he says. "Offshore is where the risks are greater and you need a large company to offer products in this market. If you want a strong industry, large entities are important."
Hughes admits that "limited numbers of players could mean a less competitive market than we have now. Nevertheless, wind energy's supply chain has to move beyond the "cottage industry" feel of a few years ago if the offshore industry is to achieve its intended growth worldwide".

The sunny part of the show day during show 2 when it got realllllly hot and humid. But at least the rain stopped.
My boyfriend handled Touche' in the ring and the camera duty when he remembered we brought it.
Bodacious has a pretty good natural stack so I let her self stack. I did not physically stack her at all during the show just guided and baited a little bit. We still need a lot of practice
This was also the first time I worked her on a show collar. I was very proud of how she did.
In ADBA you use a flat buckle collar and they are allowed to pull which she totally loves to do so I wasn't sure how she would react to the show collar. I was pleasantly surprised
Hanging out waiting to go in for the ring
"Mom is it my turn yet, I'm getting bored with this waiting business?" I'll just use you as a chair so I don't get my princess paws all dirty
Entering the ring for best female judging.
The line goes in order by age.
She wanted so badly to pay with the other dogs as you can see LOL
Bribing her to stay still LOL
Just starting to gait around the ring
This is her next to the Junior class female:
Bodacious being a good girl
"Mommy did I win another ribbon????"

Subscribe To Despicable Me 2 Blu-ray Will Come With Three Brand New Mini-Movies Updates
I've already subscribed
Despicable Me 2 was already considered a pretty sure moneymaker before it hit the market. The follow up to Despicable Me managed to crush in the U.S. and later around the world—a feat, considering the film never even made it to China--grossing over 872 million worldwide. Now, Universal Studios Home Entertainment is prepping to release the film so that audiences can view it from the comfort of their homes. If you want to catch the movie sooner, Despicable Me 2 will be released digitally on November 26. Other platforms, including Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and UltraViolet will be available for purchase on December 10.
The success of the Despicable Me movies has largely hinged on the minions in the film, and Universal Studios has always been pretty savvy to this. In fact, before the second film was released, I even saw a minion blimp floating around near the Beverly Hills area. So, it's not a huge surprise that the marketing for the release would heavily invest in the popularity of the minions, as well. Thus, if you shell out for the Blu-ray, the whole family can enjoy three brand new mini-movies starring the minions. If you're familiar with the yellow dudes already, you should be prepared for the sort of slapstick humor found in those mini-movies. But if you need a reminder, you can check out a sneak peek at the mini-movie "Panic in the Mailroom right here…
Each of the mini-movies with the set will be introduced by Gru, and if the above preview is any indication, your kids should love all of them. Again, you have to purchase the Blu-ray to get the mini-movies, but the good news is that both the Blu-ray and DVD sets will come with at least a few bonus features, although, the Blu-ray extras seem quite a bit more kid friendly. You can pre-order Despicable Me 2 over at Amazon, or check out the full list of extras, below.
Bonus Features Exclusive to Blu-ray™Combo Pack & Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will mark the 10th anniversary of the tragedy of September 11th with a series of events and opportunities for remembrance and reflection across the country.
The September 11 Digital Archive, created by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and the American Social History Project at the City University of New York Graduate Center, is the largest public collection of digital materials produced in the wake of 9/11. The online collection contains more than 150,000 items, including first-hand accounts, emails, digital photographs, videos, and artworks created in response to the events of 9/11. The preservation of this born-digital archive has been supported by a "Save America's Treasures" grant administered by the National Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the National Park Service, the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
In New York, NEH's state partner, the New York Humanities Council is sponsoring a Community Conversations series around the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. In more than 100 classrooms, museums, libraries, and community centers around the state, New Yorkers will gather to participate in community-based discussions exploring how New Yorkers and people everywhere were transformed and interconnected in the aftermath of 9/11. Each conversation uses a short text as a catalyst for discussions about the ways people responded to the events of 9/11. The Council also provides online toolkits for "do-it-yourself" discussions that include texts suitable for different age groups, a series of questions and guidelines for starting conversations, and tips on how to host a conversation about this difficult topic. Consult the Council's events calendar to find a local Community Conversation on 9/11 for adults, young adults, and kids in the New York area.
The Illinois Humanities Council, in partnership with the Project on Civic Reflection, Fourth Presbyterian Church, and WBEZ will lead public discussions on remembering and making meaning of 9/11 at three venues in Chicago on the morning of Monday, September 12th. Those unable to attend in person may listen to a WBEZ broadcast of a conversation on the same topic between local academic, civic, and community leaders.
At the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, Outside the Wire's Theater of War will perform dramatic readings of scenes from Joseph Addison's Cato, a Tragedy for military personnel and their families as a catalyst for town hall-style discussions about the lasting impact of the September 11 attacks on U.S. citizens, communities, and the nation at large. First performed in 1713, Cato – a once wildly popular play beloved by the Founding Fathers—follows the Roman Senator Cato in his final days, recounting his last stand against the tyranny of Julius Caesar. This interactive event is supported by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council.
NEH's educational website EDSITEment also provides a range of materials for parents and schoolteachers on teaching the history and context of 9/11 and how to communicate with children about the 9/11 attacks. The site offers an interactive timeline of September 11, 2001, information and worksheets on efforts to memorialize 9/11, suggested essay and discussion topics, and lesson plans built around the question "What Makes a Hero?"

I am in the UK where RE is broadly Christian and my daughter's school is taught by a vicar and a Christian and stories about floods and rivers of blood and killing the first born sons caused her to get very upset when she was 5 and I removed her from RE. This worked well cos the school is otherwise excellent and she has good friends there.
She is 8 now and wants to start doing RE again as she is no longer frightened of the stories. We spent some time at home looking at all the major religions and their beliefs and creation myths and also at Secular Humanism and the Big Bang and Evolution and taught her to think critically. She absolutely loves science and decided that gods were obviously 'pretend' and announced she is a secular Humanist. She reads a lot and enjoyed The Magic of Reality and The Greatest Show on Earth. She wants to be a biologist.
I am a little worried about certain things she says having never been taught to respect religion more than any other opinion. She has not been taught to disrespect it either and I have told her that other people have beliefs and given examples. However, she is only 8, does not know people are sensitive about their beliefs and still says things like 'Some people think the bible is non-fiction don't they?' and asserts very strongly that the story about God making the world in 6 days is rubbish. One teacher told her that she believed God was watching over them all and she said 'Well, I believe gods are made up.
' I am unsure if this was rude of her and disrespectful of the teacher's belief and I should talk to her about it even tho I do not feel personally that religion should be respected. Religion is nonsense and harmful nonsense but I have never said this tho she knows we do not believe in gods.She does not know about the human rights abuses caused by religion for example. You know how little girls like to right about things? She knows a lot about different gods and about evolution and she likes to share this knowledge. Just as she'll 'correct' someone's maths or vocabulary like other girls do, she will also 'correct' their belief in a god. :-S
Should I work with her about not doing this or am I then buying into the idea that religion has some special right to be respected? I just don't want her to get into trouble cos she prides herself on being a good girl and she really does not know religion is a sensitive subject. In reality tho, if someone says to her that they believe a god exists and she says she does not believe that one does, two opinions have been expressed, haven't they? Neither person has the right to be offended. The same as if a child says God made us and she says we evolved? Two opinions. If disagreeing is disrespecting then both have been disrespectful? She would never say anyone was stupid or laugh at them or anything. She does not even know many people do laugh at Christian over here.
What do you think? Should I take some time explaining that religion is sensitive and she should not blatantly contradict it with a different opinion in the same way as she would if someone was talking about a favourite TV programme or song? Or should I let her express her views confidently and then back her up if anyone tells her off? My protective motherhood side is warring with my evangelical atheist side! Apart from letting her read Richard Dawkins (and not The God Delusion yet) I have not ever told her I think that religion is a bad thing - just that we don't believe in gods so I have not taught her to think my way but I am very pleased she does think this way. I feel as though by letting her say what she really thinks I might be pushing my own agenda on her and she is a little girl who likes to conform and be praised for good behaviour and hard work. She would get really upset if someone told her off and she would not understand why? It would be unfair for anyone to tell her off and I would say so loud and clear but that would not stop her feeling upset?
What to do?
Views: 1118
Right! Thanks everyone. Drawing particularly on the thoughts of John Kelly, Jack Lee and Helena around respect vs civility/kindness/patience etc, I have drafted a letter to the headmistress saying my daughter wants to restart RE, what her views are currently and what I intend to work on with her. There is a subtext of 'do not dare discriminate against my daughter' which I hope is quite clear.
Dear so and so,
I am writing to say that we are quite happy for Lucy to resume attending all RE classes from Year Four. You will recall that when we last spoke about this, I explained that she is a child who thinks very deeply about things and worries and at that time her main fear was of an immortal and omnipresent Christian god whom she had come to associate with mass drownings, rivers of blood and killing first born sons. She had begun to have panic attacks and be unable to sleep. This is no longer the case.
This is largely due to the wonderful Miss Hitchcock who has achieved the perfect balance of making Lucy feel supported and able to talk to her about her worries without giving them excessive attention and therefore encouraging or validating them. It is also due to the advice we have had from a psychologist which involved not enabling her to avoid all mention of death, violence or supernatural beliefs and helping her to put her fears in perspective and addressing them rationally.
To this end we have spent time with Lucy looking at all six major religions, many creation myths, secular Humanism and evolution and encouraging her to think critically about them. This began as a way to put her worries in perspective but has become a great interest of hers, evolution particularly. She has many children's books about this and we have read The Magic of Reality and The Greatest Show on Earth together. Lucy has concluded, at this time, that she is a secular Humanist, that gods are man-made and that creationism is disproven by evolution. You will be aware that her father and I are secular Humanists and as such, we encourage her to form her own opinions from evidence rather than tell her anything is true or untrue and to regard this as a life-long process.
We now have a much more confident child and one with more of knowledge of religion, Humanism and natural science than many adults. Her opinions are strongly held and my current concern is related to this. In the first term of Year Three, the children were required to draw pictures of where they believe they came from. This resulted, Lucy tells me, in 29 pictures of gods and Lucy's own attempt at depicting a single celled organism gradually evolving into a human being. There was much debate about this in the playground afterwards and Lucy tells me that she and one of her friends (whose family also has no religious belief but who drew a god in the class because it was easier) still frequently have the same debate with a number of children – a childish version of creationism versus evolution. I am not at all worried about Lucy being outnumbered in this regard because she is more than capable of defending her own position and enjoys doing so and none of them are taking it too seriously.
I have no reason to think that religious education at Alderton Junior School will be less encouraging of an atheist viewpoint than they would a minority religious one. However, in our society, religious belief is often considered worthy of respect in a way that atheistic viewpoints are not and expressed views that gods do not exist can be interpreted as intolerance of the belief of others almost akin to a racial prejudice whilst the expression of the opposite view that a god does exist is not usually considered to be intolerant of those with different theistic belief or atheistic ones. Lucy is eight and her thinking is still black and white and she cannot appreciate this subtle distinction. She may well say something like 'Why don't some grown-ups know that gods are just pretend?' or 'Why do some people think the bible is non-fiction?' (Both of those questions have been asked of me recently.) She will be bewildered and upset if she is then 'told off' for not respecting the beliefs of others because her curiosity is genuine and she has no wish to upset anyone. Miss Hitchcock will confirm that she is a child who always wants to be kind and takes great pride in being 'good.'
To this end, Lucy and I are going to work on polite ways to disagree with others generally and why saying 'You are wrong' and 'That's not true' is impolite whilst saying 'I disagree with you' and 'I do not accept that' makes it clear you are simply stating your own opinion which is different. She does understand the concept of 'hurt feelings' and I will explain that people get hurt feelings much more when you disagree with their religious beliefs than when you disagree with their favourite book or TV programme. In short, I will endeavour to help her understand that religion is a sensitive subject for others but that this does not mean she should not argue her position strongly, confidently and politely when it is appropriate to do so – ie – in classes where this is being discussed or in private conversations in which everyone wants to participate.
Please will you make the year four teacher aware of this and also make Miss Hitchcock aware of how grateful we are for her part in improving Lucy's confidence and making her love school again?
Helen Pluckrose.
Sorry, its quite long, but if anyone has got this far, please tell me what you think?
Heh nice, you basically said "I'm going to teach my daughter not to point out that she's smarter than you all."
I like that :D
I have a bit, haven't I? :-S Also should probably cut it down quite a bit! Thanks. :)
..i think its highly important that parents teach children to be respectful of others; regardless of the whos or why fors. My daughter, Veda, is 4 years old and she is questioning the existence of the "God" that her friends and a lot of her family believe in. I feel its crucial that I, as her mother, encourage her to be honest and to question anything that doesn't make sense. Her biggest struggle at the moment is the fact that there is no mention of dinosaurs on the ark. I brim with pride, to be honest, but I will not sway her any way. I want her to believe what she believes because she weighs the evidence and makes an informed decision.. not because I tell her what's what. It seems I digress.. lets see.. oh..lol. the point is this: all children should be respectful of what others believe.. failure to do so is no less than an insult.. if we hope to debunk the myth of a fairy tale god who incites war and bigotry.. we must not offend his flock.
I guess I am a little ambivelent on this matter. Because on one hand I raise(d) my children to be Atheists, because that is what both my husband and I believe to be true. But on the other hand I know how much trouble it got my oldest into both with peers and religion classes (dunno if you guys have those mandatory religion classes in elementary school) - So I suppose I chickened out a little with my other kids, and sorta pull a 'don't ask, don't tell' thing. I'd never tell them to not stick to their guns, but to maybe not "wear" it in public.
I felt guilty that my oldest got in all those trouble for defending what we taught her from home. Which landed her in situations she had not needed to be in otherwise. And I am not about to make an atheist martyr out of her. So I told her to just ignore people and their jesus/mohammad talk, and walk away. So in a way I think both things, but I can't help but to think that it's not her fight, it's mine.. You know what I mean right?
Should they be respectful to religion? Well, I think you should be respectful to people who are respectful to you. So if those people are okay with her being atheist, I think that she should be okay with them being religious.. (Of course if people are pushing their God on you, then it's no longer respect, and it's whole other discussion)
Yes, I DO know what you mean. That is what I have tried to explain about feeling torn on this. I want to support my daughter to think critically, I am proud of the way she has considered religion and the conclusions she has come to and I want her to stand up for what she feels to be the truth. The problem is that it's me who is a 'fight your corner, don't be afraid of controversy, challenge everything' type and always have been and she is not. She is a 'Why can't we all just get along, please like me' type. This is why I am so afraid of making her an atheist martyr as you so beautifully put it and having her fight my battles. Even tho she has come to these conclusions on her own she cannot realise the hostility she could encounter because of them. I would thrive on that and take on all comers - she will just get upset. However, I do not want to tell her other views are just as valid and worthy of respect because they are NOT and she knows that. She asked me if there is any evidence for gods and we googled it and thought about the things that came up - miracles and near death experiences related to loads of different gods and she decided they were no evidence at all. Its very tricky. Thanks for your response.

The Cricut Cake machine that was unveiled at CHA Winter 2010 amid much buzz will be launched on HSN on April 14th. Unfortunately for Provo Craft, as that date approaches the machine's origin has become surrounded in controversy.
The controversy has been fueled by custom cake designer Linda McClure of Vidalia, Louisiana, who has posted a lengthy statement on her website claiming to be the real inventor of the Cricut Cake machine's concept. Her daughter has been posting on several prominent scrapbook message boards on her mother's behalf, drawing attention to and defending her mother's claims.
McClure filed an application on March 24th, 2010 for a patent related to the process used to cut gum paste with the Cricut machine. Whether the patent will be granted is yet to be determined in a lengthy and complex process. Approval is by no means certain.
After McClure's allegations worked message boards into a frenzy over a few days, Provo Craft finally felt compelled to do something that is rare for them: issue a response to negative publicity. Among other things, Provo Craft claims they started development of the Cake machine in 2007:
In 2009, Linda McClure approached Provo Craft about a method of cutting gum paste, a method with which Provo Craft was already familiar and whose documented development dates as far back as 2007. We reached an informal agreement that provided for Ms. McClure to be compensated at fair market value for her time and consulting services as we prepared to launch Cricut Cake in 2010. She accepted, performed certain activities, and was compensated accordingly.
More recently, Provo Craft and Ms. McClure discussed the possibility of extending a formal consulting agreement. We believe that some of her requests, including both financial and non-financial terms, were unrealistic. Further, Linda was adamant that her requests were non-negotiable. As a result we chose not to enter a long term agreement with her, and unfortunately our relationship deteriorated.
Provo Craft's initial research and development for Cricut Cake began in 2007. Since then, Provo Craft has conducted extensive market research and consulted with industry leaders, and both professional and aspiring cake decorators. We're grateful for the valuable input and the enthusiastic support of these individuals, and we look forward to our continued relationship with them. We also hope you share our excitement for the fun possibilities that Cricut Cake will bring to creative kitchens everywhere.

Spiced Ciders for Your Holiday Table
I'm always a bit of a stress ball when it comes to picking out booze around the holidays. Half of my family members are hoarders—craft beer junkies who save up prized bottles all year to share at a special occasion. The other half is more laid-back, preferring to pop open a Heineken or sip a few glasses of nondescript red wine. And both of those things are fine. I end up being the cider guy, off in my own little world.
At holidays, I tend to play it pretty reserved and pick the same crowd-pleasing bottles I do every year—approachable ciders that taste great with a rack of pork (but also aren't bad with limp, soggy brussels sprouts.) But this year the gloves are off and I'm excited about the ciders that really feel seasonally appropriate. Those that put the ginger in gingerbread, and the cinnamon in... er... Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm talking about spiced ciders, your secret to success at the table this holiday.
Tips for Choosing a Spiced Cider:
If this is your first year getting nerdy about cider, and you are still getting your head around the dry vs. sweet thing, don't worry. As long as you know your cinnamon from your cayenne pepper (a hasty mis-grab that has ruined more than one dish in my kitchen) choosing a spiced cider is nothing to worry about. Here are a few tips to guide you on your way.
Sweeter ciders pair best with baking spices.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and other traditional baking spices usually fare better with dishes that skew a bit more sweet than savory. The same hold true for cider. With pie spices, reach for bottles on the sweeter side to avoid conflicts with tart flavors or harsh tannins.
One to try: Cinnamon ciders can be either too cloying or too tart, but Vander Mill's Totally Roasted cider from Michigan hit the right balance; enough sweetness to support the spice without losing the cider character. It's luscious but drinkable. The key is the trio of cinnamon, vanilla beans, and roasted pecans that evoke sweet potato casserole. If you can't find Vander Mill cider in your area, Winterruption from J.K. Scrumpy makes a fine (and more widely distributed) substitute.
Ginger is the workhorse of spiced ciders.
Ginger and apples are a natural pairing, whether the cider is sweet or dry. Ginger's savory kick makes it the ideal spiced cider to serve with holiday dishes like honey-glazed ham or roast turkey. If you are looking for a foolproof solution that will work throughout your holiday meal, then this is it.
One to try: Several East Coast ginger ciders won our praises during NY Cider Week and now the West Coast has caught the ginger bug. The light candied ginger character of Deliverance Ginger, from Portland's Reverend Nat's Hard Cider conjures notions of a quality ginger ale without all the sugary sweetness. The only sessionable spiced cider we tried, it's best to have more than one bottle of this stuff on hand.
Herbs work surprisingly well.
Winter fare is is often spiced with rosemary, thyme or sage, and infusing a cider with these herbs can give your drink with the same rustic flavors. These unique ciders can be awkward when served at the wrong time, but they can—like rosemary in mac and cheese—also be a revelation.
One to try: Even I was a little skeptical about the spring fir tips used in Finnriver's Forest Fir. But this earthy, woodsy, cider comes together with layers of tartness that complement the uncanny suggestion of Christmas tree. Serve it with washed-rind cheeses and roasted root vegetables.
All ciders were provided as samples for review consideration.

I'm sure it's no surprise to any of you that these are troubled times – global financial upheaval, a stagnant national economy, job losses and general unrest.
With this combination of issues, it's easy to understand the predicament some organizations such as our local food bank/pantry can face. Demand for food from the pantry has risen, just as everyone in the community is finding it more expensive to keep their own pantry shelves stocked.
The liquid asphalt storage facility on the drawing board for development just south of Prestonville could very well be the "poster child" for why we need planning and zoning in Carroll County.
Yes, we said that nasty word: Zoning. We know – there are those property owners who don't want anyone saying what they can or can't do with their property, what they can build on it, or where and how to build it.
OK. You don't need me to tell you that the Nov. 4 elections are vastly important this time around.
Our country is in a scary place right now, with banks folding left and right, and Congress in the midst of hammering out a plan to stabilize Wall Street as it bleeds out in front of our eyes.
So, I'm going to take this time to provide some good information for those of you (and I hope that's all of you) preparing to vote.
The Fall Brawl Demolition Derby at the Carroll County Fairgrounds has again come and gone.
We would like to say thank you to the greatly dedicated fans, Westside Fire Department, Bobby Couch and Wayne Knight for Bobcats, Clay Baker and his guys for help with cars, parts. All the people officiating and judging and anyone else we missed.
Larry, Barbara, Jason, Renee and Ronnie Coghill

The Carroll County Tobacco Festival committee wants to say thank-you for a great year.
We extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Artic Cat andPaul's Tire, as well as the businesses, private donors and others in the Carroll County community
for their continued support. Without each and every one of you, this event would not be possible.
Daisy Hughes and the Carroll County
Tobacco Festival committee
It is not for me to presume to tell anyone how they should vote. But I have made up my mind, and will take this opportunity to express my personal thoughts.
In the U.S. Senate race, I note that Bruce Lunsford has three times visited Carrollton and met a lot of people here. In the 24 years that Mitch McConnell has been in the Senate, I never recall him visiting our county.
We have a concern about the City of Carrollton's code enforcement ordinance. A few days ago Mr. Zook, from the city office came to our house saying that we had some tires in the back of our garage that needed to be picked up.
Why? This article is my response to this week's story about Tommy "Shooney" Jones Jr. that was printed in The News-Democrat. [Oct. 15, 2008, Page 1.]
It breaks my heart how so many times in a small town people love to print all of the dirty laundry and negative things about people before they have all the facts.
With millions of dollars being spent on negativity, come spend your money where it really makes a difference.
This Saturday, Oct. 25, is National Make a Difference Day. Millions of people all over the United States will be making a real difference in the lives of others.
The Friends For Michael Inc., a spinal cord injury organization, will be at the site of the new Henry County Recreation and Services park on U.S. Hwy 421, just north of New Castle, Ky., 1125 Campbellsburg Road, rain or shine.
I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that different events that are promoted in town were to bring in people: the Blues Festival, car shows, the Scottish Weekend and Demolition Derbies.
When people attend these, they spend money for lodging, gas, food, etc. You get the trickle-down effect, which then helps tourism. Isn't that the main goal? I think we're a town not a city, such as Louisville. Some enjoy culture, others derby cars.
Every now and then in my career, I've had opportunities to do some amazing things.
Topping the list, by far, was the invitation to travel to Arizona and the Grand Canyon with the group of volunteers who attempted to take Sarah Service to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
From the first time Chris White had told me about the trips, a few weeks before they planned to leave, I daydreamed about going. I knew it would be an awesome experience.
So, I was thrilled when Amy Hewitt called and said she chose me to be the one person she could take along.
In the Oct. 15, 2008, edition of The News-Democrat, there was an article entitled "Drugs suspected in death of 26-year-old," by Sharon Graves.
As a friend and former co-worker of Tommy Jones Jr., about whom this article was written, I was compelled to state my sincere disapproval of its content. This piece of journalism came out a few days after the shocking death and funeral of a very young man who will be dearly missed by many friends and family members.
As I sat on a bleacher Oct. 11 at the Carroll County Fairgrounds around the demolition derby ring, I gazed out at the humongous crowd attending the 2008 Fall Brawl.
I've attended several of these events in the past, but on Saturday we had enthusiasts from Southern Kentucky, Northern Ohio, Indiana and other surrounding states and surrounding counties. The comments made by these visitors were very complimentary to our promoters, the Fair Board, the county and the participants of the derby.
I would like to thank all of the vendors who participate in the Carroll County Farmers' Market each week.
I am a Carrollton native, but do not currently live in the area. However, when I am visiting family, I thoroughly enjoy going to the market to buy fresh vegetables from local vendors. The produce is of lower cost and higher quality than that which is found in the grocery stores, and I really admire the hard work each vendor has put into his or her specialties.
I have just been on the most exciting adventure of my life. I went to the Grand Canyon. The goal was to get someone who was unable to walk to the bottom of the canyon.
My daughter fit that description, and that's how I came to be included.
I had been told about the TrailRider before the trip, designed for a handicapped person to be able to ride down a trail that was otherwise inaccessible.
Why is it, when the electric was out long enough to ruin food in everyone's refrigerator, that only welfare recipients get their food replaced?
What about the families who live week to week that have children to feed? What about the senior citizens who buy their groceries once a month? The food is spoiled, and now they have no way to replace it until next month.
I know of one welfare mother that gets $800 a month in food stamps, yes I said $800 a month, and is getting another $800 to replace the food she lost.
I want to thank Kenneth Kemble, Jacob Kemble, Tonya Edens, Mabel Parrish and Wesley Richmond for donating their time helping me at the Seventh Annual Repair Affair.
Without their help it would have been impossible to feed the 130-plus volunteers who spent Saturday building and repairing homes for the elderly and disabled in Trimble County.
It was another great year for us.
Hilda Parrish
Bedford, Ky.
A big thank you to LG&E and their employees for the beautiful job they did last week. God bless all. My granddaughter, Angie Gosman, is one of the LG&E staff.
Carroll County Youth Services would like to say "thank you" to everyone who volunteered to make Safe Night possible and successful.
There were 150 Carroll County Middle School students who participated in a variety of activities to promote a safe and drug-free evening.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the area businesses and volunteers that made the Trimble County Youth Explosion a success. To all those that donated money, food, prizes and time, I thank you.
A special thanks goes to Rita Davis for her help and hard work and for putting up with me. To the Name Sake Band for playing for us, thank you; you were awesome!
To the people of the community who came and enriched their lives through this program, I thank you.
God Bless you.

Today, June 14th, is Flag Day. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, and also happens to fall on the US Army's birthday. As a Army vet and devout patriot, I always like to share this kind of stuff. Without sparking any types of political debates, which I will not engage in, I will proudly say that I am an American, and I take great pride in the fact that people from all over the world, from different countries, different heritages, different nationalities and races, and religions, are free to celebrate and worship as they please under our stars and stripes. Many men and women have sacrificed life and limb for such freedom, and I honor them by proudly displaying our flag. If you're out and about this week and you see the flag displayed at a business or government building, take a moment to look at the flag. If it's tattered or torn, or faded and frayed, please notify someone in that establishment.
Happy Father's Day!
This coming Sunday is Father's Day, and I want to take a moment to celebrate my own dad, a die-hard Texans fan, and my hero. Last week, my father called 911 from his office because he was having severe chest pains. His blood pressure was through the roof, well into massive stroke levels. On Monday, he underwent a triple by-pass, and had his carotid cleaned out. We were told Monday afternoon that everything went great. Tuesday, they discovered he was bleeding from his chest cavity and he had to be taken back into surgery and opened back up. It was a pretty scary day. I'm happy to report that today he is leaps and bounds better, though still in ICU. His blood pressure is better and he's improving by the hour.
I'd like to honor all the fathers out there reading this. Because of my dad, I am the man I am today, and the die-hard football fan that I am. I remember watching the Oilers back in the Luv-Ya-Blue era with my dad, and we often talk Texans football (as we did last night in ICU) when we get together. So if you're reading this Dad, thank you for all you've done for me, thank you for always believing in me, and thank you for calling 911 last week.
News out of Mini-Camp…
The Texans held a three-day mini-camp this week, which wraps up today. Most of the news out of camp you've probably already read on the sports pages. I've read some interesting discussions regarding some of the free agents the Texans brought in this week. The Texans brought back fullback Moran Norris, which I'm happy to see. I think James Casey is not a true fullback and his skillset is better utilized at tight end. With the loss of Dreessen, we need Casey more at TE than we do at FB in my opinion. So let's hope Norris sticks around.
One debate going back and forth is about the Texans extending an invitation to veteran wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker. I've read comments supporting the move, and many against. Some are still going on and on about why the Texans should sign Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco. I'm telling you now folks, those two won't be Texans. Sims-Walker was brought in to determine if he could provide veteran depth, not to become an instant starter. As one commenter pointed out, Sims-Walker would be used in certain passing situations and would play special teams. And he'd be paid for that job accordingly. I highly doubt TO or CO would be interested in playing special teams for that kind of money. So stomp your feet and pound your chest all you want, but at the end of the day, it is what it is.
The Texans finally agreed to terms with first round draft pick Whitney Mercilus, who Kubiak has said is doing well in mini-camp and OTA's. I'm glad to see them get this out of the way before training camp, though I was confident with the new CBA and rookie wage scale it would get done. It amazes me that in interviews as recent as yesterday, people are still asking Mercilus about wearing #59. I really don't get the significance of that, or why it's still being discussed ad nauseum. Once again, I'm a big fan of DeMeco, and I hated to see him go. But Mercilus doesn't even play the same position as Ryans, so what's the big deal already?
It's just been reported that the Texans have agreed to contract extensions for both Kubiak and general manager Rick Smith. This has been expected after McNair said he wanted to extend both of their contracts. I for one agree with the extensions. The Texans, albeit slowly, have built a winning team, and I'd really hate to see that disrupted after this season. Should the Texans fail to contend for the championship this season, that could all change. But as it stands, based on what the Texans have done and where I see them headed, I think continuity and stability are in order. No doubt the comments for and against will come in droves, so let's get it started.
Lastly, I want to say that I appreciate everyone that reads this blog. I know from recent comments that some reading this blog didn't realize I'm just a fan blogger. I have a full-time job already. I am not a reporter, I do not receive any compensation or perks from the Houston Chronicle or the Houston Texans for writing this blog. I do not get access to the team, the coaches or the players for interviews and such. I get my news from the same sources everyone else does. It's just up to me as the blog host to spark conversations about that news. So to all of you reading this blog, whether for the first time or the 100th, I thank you for your time and your interaction and feedback.

Thumbs Up on Sequoia, Roelof
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by dweekly on 2007-05-09
Even though our company ended up taking funding from another VC, our experience with Sequoia in general, and Roelof in particular, was extraordinarily positive. I came in half-expecting to be eaten alive, given some of the stories, but the partners were attentive listeners, kind, and gave wise and sensible feedback. I'd think with their kind of track record they'd be more standoffish, but I was pleasantly disarmed. Good guys!PRIVATE: Members Only (161 Characters)

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Hormel Foods Inc. HRL, +0.14% said Thursday it'll pay $700 million to buy Skippy peanut butter from Unilever United States Inc., a unit of Unilever PLC UL, +1.72%. "The brand, first introduced in 1932, holds the No. 2 share in this growing center of the store category and is the leading brand in the faster growing subcategory of natural peanut butter," Hormel said. Internationally, Skippy peanut butter ranks as the leading brand in China. It's sold in more than 30 other countries on five continents. Hormel said it expects the Skippy business to modestly add to its 2013 earnings, with a boost of 13 cents to 17 cents a share expected in fiscal 2014.
