Roll up your sleeves, Steve Hogan. Michael Hancock is going to teach you a thing or two about rolling the perfect tortilla.
Or, maybe it'll be the other way around when the mayors of Aurora and Denver go rolling pin-to-rolling pin at Tortillas for Tepeyac. Either way, the masa will be flying at Stapleton Recreation Center when political and media figures from the greater Denver area assemble there on April 13 to raise money for Clinica Tepeyac.
Festivities begin at 11:30 a.m., when a buffet luncheon is served.

Nowadays, when it comes to rail projects, there are the boondoggles (like the $50 billion-plus Central Valley high-speed train to nowhere), the beneficials (like the Escondido-to-Oceanside-and-back Sprinter), and the in-betweens — like the new access plan for the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
The project aims to replace the 96-year-old wooden trestle bridge traversing the San Dieguito River, while adding another mile-plus of double track south of the Solana Beach/Del Mar border. It would also install, adjacent to the sprawling fairgrounds complex, a new platform that would be served during the summer months featuring the county fair and the horse races.
(Actually, the development would be restoring an old station that disappeared decades ago. "In the olden days," Joe Harper, the president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, told 10News, "we didn't start the races until that train showed up from L.A.")
SANDAG, the quarterback of the project, expects its costs to approach $100 million, but has urged its adoption for safety, environmental, aesthetic, economic, and traffic-flow reasons. Specifically, the agency plans "significant environmental enhancements, such as habitat acquisitions, lagoon restorations, and a network of bike/pedestrian paths."
So far, the project has met with cautious optimism from those involved.
"It would be a huge benefit not just for the fair but for the races as well," said Adam Day, president of the county fair board.
"Hopefully, this project will get traffic off our local streets and more people can use public transportation," Del Mar Council member Don Mosier told the Union-Tribune.
But the project's massive price tag should give planners pause, even if a careful cost-benefit analysis ultimately militates toward moving it forward.
Noting the "sticker shock," the U-T editorialized in favor of "returning rail service to this world-class attraction and pulling traffic off Interstate 5." Those benefits are undeniable, but where's the money going to come from?
At the first public meeting discussing the proposal, SANDAG Chairman Jack Dale noted that "it will take at least a year for the environmental process and a year for the design, and while we're doing all that stuff we're going to find the $100 million." The agency reports that it has already gathered close to $10 million from TransNet (local) taxes and Federal Railroad Administration funds.
So SANDAG is 10 percent of the way there, which is a good start, but not much else. If the agency can secure the remaining $90 million from other federal rail funds, or even state money that might otherwise go toward the high-speed white elephant, so much the better.
But if funding comes at the expense of other worthy North County projects, to which SANDAG has earmarked some $6.5 billion "over the next few decades," or worse yet, via additional countywide or Del Mar/Solana Beach city taxes or bond indebtedness, residents may justifiably wonder whether the sticker is indeed too shocking.
Time will tell, but for now, file this promising-but-expensive rail project under "More Information Needed."

Posted by Kathryn Ostlie on Thursday, December 12, 2013 12:25 AM
I'd sung it many times in my young life. When we sang I Love to Tell the Story at my grandfather's funeral, it stayed in my head and in my heart; I didn't understand or even appreciate it then. I do now. I'm aware of how important stories are to the Christian community and to me. Our lives are woven together and it's the stories we tell about ourselves, about our community, and about our lives of faith which make up the warp and weft of our shared life.
In that vein, I offer a reflection from Mark Nepo's book, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want By Being Present to the One You Have, (Conari Press, 2000).
Stories are like little time capsules. They carry pieces of meaning and truth over time. Whether it is a myth from 4,000 years ago or your own untold story from childhood, the meaning waits like a dry ration; only by the next telling does it enlarge and soften to become edible. It is the sweat and tears of the telling that bring the meaning out of its sleep as if no time has passed. It is the telling that heals.
Often we repeat stories, not because we are forgetful or indulgent, but because there is too much meaning to digest in one expression. So we keep sharing the story that presses on our heart until we understand it all. I remember my first fall in love, how deep the fall and how painful the landing. When it was over, when she left me for other loves, I was devastated. Throughout my college days, my sadness was a wound that needed air, and each telling of my story – though even strangers grew tired of hearing it – each telling of her sudden eyes and her sudden leaving was stitch that healed the wound in my heart.
And when my mother-in-law lost her husband of fifty-five years, when I sat with her two weeks later, after all the flowers and speeches, she stared into that moment of his passing and told me over and over of his last breath and of finding him slumped in his chair. At first I thought her adrift, but realized this is how she was trying on the meaning of her grief. Like a shaman or monk, she was chanting the mantra of her experience until its truth was released.
Imagine how many times Paul told the story of being knocked off his horse by God. He did so, most likely, because with each telling, he was brought deeper into revelation. Or how many times Moses told of his meetings with God. He did so, I imagine, because with each telling, he saw God more clearly. Or how many times Lazarus told of being brought back to life by Jesus. He did so, no doubt, because with each telling, he was brought deeper into his reawakening.
The truth is that though we think we know what we are about to say, the story tells us and saves us, in the same mysterious way that breathing is always the same but different.
In Advent, in this time of waiting, we begin again to tell the familiar and yet fresh story of Jesus, of the faithful who have gone before, of our life together, and of our lives as Children of God. We wait with longing and hope and faith to hear our own story in this old, old story of Jesus and his love.

To Move Forward on Agency Priorities
Draft plan will help advance Administrator Jackson's seven priorities
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comment on its draft FY 2011-2015 strategic plan, which helps advance Administrator Lisa P. Jackson's priorities and the mission to protect human health and the environment. Administrator Jackson's seven priorities are; taking action on climate change, improving air quality, protecting America's waters, cleaning up our communities, assuring the safety of chemicals, expanding the conversation on environmentalism and working for environmental justice, and building strong state and tribal partnerships.
The draft plan identifies the measurable environmental and human health benefits the public can expect over the next five years and describes how EPA intends to achieve those results. The draft plan proposes five strategic goals and five cross-cutting fundamental strategies that aim to foster a renewed commitment to accountability, transparency and inclusion. The plan is prepared in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993.
The public comment period begins June 18 and closes July 30. EPA will use stakeholder feedback to prepare the final strategic plan, which will be released by September 30. Comments on the draft strategic plan may be submitted through http://www.regulations.gov/. The Docket ID number is EPA-HQ-OA-0486.
For the first time, EPA is using a discussion forum to solicit ideas and feedback on the cross-cutting fundamental strategies, a new element of EPA's strategic plan. The agency will use the feedback provided through https://blog.epa.gov/strategicplan as it implements the cross-cutting fundamental strategies and takes actions to change the way EPA does its work.
Information about the draft plan
Dedicated to protecting the environment, enhancing human, animal and plant ecologies, promoting the efficient use of natural resources and increasing African American participation in the environmental movement.

We know wheels. We can help!
(866) 654-7467
Call 9-5 EST Mon-Fri
"Thanks Guys .... Great Price ... Wheel looks real good. I'm very pleased with our transaction.
If I need a wheel in the future you'll be my first choice!"
Select your replacement Chevrolet R2500 Suburban factory wheels and rims from our extensive inventory. With over 200 warehouses throughout the U.S., we have one of the largest selections of replacement Chevrolet factory wheels and rims available. Replace your damaged or worn factory Chevrolet R2500 Suburban wheels at prices that are much less than dealer. Upgrade the look of your R2500 Suburban with factory wheels at a substantially lower price than new factory wheels. Our Chevrolet factory rims are available in many finishes, including chrome, painted, flange cut, machined or polished.
Replacement factory wheels and rims for your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban:
Select your Year:
R2500 Suburban
Chevrolet R2500 Suburban Aluminum Alloy Wheel, Rim 15x7 - 1228
Choose from a large selection of replacement Chevrolet factory wheels and rims. We carry replacement factory wheels for most Chevrolet vehicles at low prices. We will ship your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban factory wheel from the warehouse closest to you that has your wheel in stock. This reduces the shipping time and cost for your Chevrolet wheels. With warehouses throughout the U.S., it is likely that we will have a warehouse close to your location with a replacement Chevrolet factory wheel. Your Chevrolet factory wheels or rims may be shipped the same business day if ordered online or by phone before 11 a.m. EST.
Reconditioned factory wheels (or stock wheels), replica wheels and used wheels are all Chevrolet replacement wheels. However, there are different types of Chevrolet wheels. See the following descriptions for an explanation of how they differ and why you would want to purchase one over another for your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban.
Factory wheels are often referred to as OEM alloy wheels and come standard on a new vehicle from the vehicle manufacturer, such as Chevrolet. OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer." Reconditioned Chevrolet factory wheels are factory wheels that have been examined, stripped down and remanufactured back to their original appearance. The Chevrolet OEM alloy wheels look like brand new Chevrolet factory wheels but are substantially less expensive. Our Chevrolet R2500 Suburban OEM wheels are backed by an industry-leading Limited Lifetime Warranty, except chrome wheels which come with a One Year Warranty on the chroming.
Reconditioned factory wheels are generally bought because the purchaser wishes to maintain the factory appearance of their Chevrolet. Reconditioned factory wheels are also good choice when you only need to replace one wheel on your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban rather than replace all four wheels with a new appearance. A reconditioned factory wheel will look just like the other factory wheels on your R2500 Suburban.
Chevrolet replica wheels are new wheels that look like the factory wheels only without the manufacturer's logo or markings. The difference between replica wheels and reconditioned factory wheels is that reconditioned factory wheels for your Chevrolet are used factory wheels that have been remanufactured to look like new. Replica Chevrolet wheels are new wheels, not reconditioned. Replica wheels for your Chevrolet are generally less expensive than reconditioned Chevrolet factory wheels. We carry replica wheels for most Chevrolet models. Replica wheels also come with an industry-leading Limited Lifetime Warranty, with the exception of chrome wheels that come with a One Year Warranty on the chroming.
Used wheels and rims for your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban can be any type of wheel or rim, including factory wheels. Our used Chevrolet wheels and rims are usually takeoffs bought from dealerships where the purchaser of a new Chevrolet wanted a different type of wheel. The dealer then sells us the wheels from the new Chevrolet. Often, our Chevrolet used wheels have limited mileage on them and are close to new. We get used Chevrolet wheels from other sources but our primary source of used Chevrolet wheels is from the dealer in the form of "takeoffs". These are considered used Chevrolet factory wheels. Because they are used Chevrolet wheels, our normal wheel warranty does not apply. They may have minor dings or other imperfections but in most cases the used Chevrolet wheels are almost new. Contact Customer Support if you have questions about the warranty on Chevrolet used wheels.
Stock wheels are also known as factory wheels. They come stock on your vehicle from Chevrolet. One of the benefits of using the Chevrolet stock wheel with the Chevrolet stock tire is that it ensures that your odometer displays the correct speed. A stock vehicle is often more attractive to a potential buyer when you decide to sell your Chevrolet or when trading it in at a dealer. Changing and adding parts that are not stock and that affect the drivability of your Chevrolet could hurt the overall resale value of your R2500 Suburban.
Our Customer Service team has comprehensive knowledge of Chevrolet R2500 Suburban wheels and accessories and will help ensure you get the right wheels for your Chevrolet. If you need more information regarding the differences between Chevrolet R2500 Suburban factory wheels, replica wheels and used wheels, one of our Customer Support team members will be happy to help. Call us at (866) 654-7467 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and we will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding fitment, style, availability, shipping or other questions regarding wheels and rims for your Chevrolet.
If you experience any problems when placing your online order for Chevrolet R2500 Suburban factory wheels, please call our Customer Support team for assistance.
In stock items usually ship the next business day after receiving your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban wheel order. Orders placed weekdays before 11 a.m. EST for in stock items usually ship the same business day. Some Chevrolet R2500 Suburban wheels require additional processing that can take up to an additional two business days prior to shipment.

Well in regards to transferring it probably won't happen. This is not an insult to you, but every student at any ABA school is pretty smart and motivated and on the first day everyone is certain they will put in the work and be in the top 10%. When 100% of people think they will be in the top 10% you don't need to be a math major to understand 90% will be incorrect. FCSL & Appalachian are not phenomenal schools, but they are ABA approved institutions and if you graduate and pass the bar you are a lawyer. I think the main issue with Appalachian is that it is literally in the middle of nowhere. FCSL is in Jacksonville and there are no law schools in Jacksonville, but is a larger town so there might be some opportunities. Also realize that at every ABA law school you learn literally the same thing. You read supreme court cases and the Supreme Court does not real special editions for T14 students to study. No matter what ABA school you attend you will take Civil Procedure, Torts, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Property, Contracts, and LR&W in your first year. In Civil Procedure whether you go to Harvard or Appalachian you will read International Shoe, Pennoyer v. Neff learn about personal & subject matter jurisdiction etc. In Torts you will read the firecracker subway case I think Pelsgraff is the name of it and learn negligence, intentional torts, etc. In Criminal Law you learn the McNaughten Rule for insanity and the list goes on and on. These famous cases are written the same no matter what law school you attend and all ABA law schools are required to have a nearly identical first year curriculum. Don't listen to the rankings they are written by a for-profit magaizne that the ABA, AALS, LSAC, and every legal organization discredits. The reason for this is their methodology consists of this. They send out scantrons to judges & lawyers across the country who check a scantron of 1-5. A judge in L.A. who has never been to Jacksonville or met anyone from FCSL decides they are a 2 and that is your ranking. Then based on this ranking schools become tied for 84th place in the most recent ranking everything is at least in a 5 way tie and my personal favorite was a 12 way tie for 84th place. You can see the absurdity directly from U.S. news and the 12 way ties etc. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/law-rankings/page+4. This article from LSAC does a pretty good of explaining the whole system. http://www.lsac.org/LsacResources/Research/GR/GR-07-02.pdf So bottom line don't worry about the rankings or what a "good: school is. FCSL is not Harvard and I am sure you already knew that. Now as FalconJimmy said the real question is whether or not you want to be a lawyer. If the answer to that basic question is yes then go to law school. ABA schools are all accredited by the ABA, which is not a perfect system itself, but whether or not you pass the bar & and are in good standing with the bar is much more important to your legal career than what a private, unregulated, magazine thinks of a particular school. If you attend FCSL or Appalachian you will have an ABA law degree and you can be a lawyer. You have a 0% chance of being a lawyer without going to law school. There are worse ways to spend 200k than getting a law degree. There can also be better ways to spend it, but as FalconJimmy said the real question is whether or not you want to be a lawyer. If the answer to that question is yes and you have 200k and been accepted then I would say go for it. If the answer is I am not sure if I want to be a lawyer then you should work as a paralegal in a law firm somewhere and see if it really appeals to you. You can also retake the LSAT if you want and if you are in Florida getting into FIU is much cheaper than FCSL and the admission requirements are not that much higher. It is a tough decision, but disregard the ridiculous things you read on the internet. Sites like JDunderground etc are so off base it is not even funny. When someone takes the time to b***h about how unfair everything is the reason everything is so unfair is because they would b***h about anything. There are people that will complain all day and all night and sadly many law students fall into this category, but if you put the work in and can handle a few rejections along the way you can have a successful legal career no matter what ABA school you go to. Sorry for the long rant, but hopefully something in there was helpful.
I have to say I agree completely biggs! I'll be going to law school part-time evenings in the fall to a tier 4, but I don't care because I'm older and just plan on a private practice. I've been in the working world now for over 20 years and I know how important it is to network and bring as much experience to the table as possible.I hear many people complain about the "world" not getting them a job and sadly, these same people will never ask, "what can I do better to get that job?" As a director of a department, I've interviewed plenty of college grads who have maintained a 4.0 blah, blah, blah, but there was no work history, intership, or any other type of experience to let me know they can handle a job. I don't care what type of job you've had, as long as I see that you can maintain one. Sadly, I think parents are coddling their kids a bit too much. It's okay to work part-time while you're in school. I did and I still found time to get good grades and party. The other problem I've found is people aren't willing to start at entry level. If you have no work experience, you're not going to be making six figures a year on your first job - no matter what the profession - unless you graduate from Harvard Law School. Just get in somewhere! If you are like what you do and have a good attitude, you will advance.

Old Missouri State Penitentiary Attracts More Visitors
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - The old Missouri State Penitentiary exceeded expectations with more than 19,000 people exploring the museum in the past year. Tour attendance has increased every year since the penitentiary began doing tours in 2009. In 2012, 19,121 visitors toured the historic penitentiary.
Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau Communications Manager Ryan Winkler-Burns said, "We have a very unique site here in Jefferson City. It's historical in nature, people are interested in learning about the history and it also plays into the current trends. We offer ghost tours and paranormal investigations."
In March, prison tours came to a halt due to construction, but the numbers still exceeded the numbers from the year before. Officials said the popularity of the prison tours is growing and it's a great way to bring people to Jefferson City from around the world.
Winkler-Burns said, "A number of them are from outside our community, outside our state and even outside our country. So, with us expanding the reach of the Missouri State Penitentiary to people all across the country and all across the world we are also increasing the interest in mid Missouri and Jefferson City."
Officials say they hope the museum will bring more people downtown.

Post subject: Questions from a new member of this forum
Hi. I am new here and have a few questions I hope someone here can help me with. I have decided to go through the "process" after a long period of a stronger and stronger urge to become a breatharian, but I will not do anything premature, and it is important that I know everything I feel I shoul'd know before even thinking about starting the "process".
Some of the things I am wondering about is:
I have just had a breastsurgery, where I both lifted and put in inplants. Will the fact that I have silicon have any impact on the breatharian way of living? (I feel stupid for asking but I just have to know).
I have read that breatharians have very thin hair. I feel that I have too thin hair already and am trying different products to make it thicker. What about when I become a breatharian, will it become even thinner? I really don't want that to happen.
And about my weight; I am 168cm tall and weigh 50kg. In my eyes I am perfectly slim. Will I keep my weight when things are stabilised after the "process"?
I hope someone can help me with my questions.

>> I have decided to go through the "process"<<
What process you think about? To become a breatharian? Will you tell us more about your process?.
>> Will the fact that I have silicon have any impact on the breatharian way of living?<<
I think that depends individually, one woman can feel something and others nothing. One can have some kind of negative reaction from the body and others will notice nothing.
However, in statistical average, fasting of any type makes the body to start intensive self cleaning and self repairing procedures. Now the question is how the body will treat the silicone material. This I don't know, have no experience in this case.
>> What about when I become a breatharian, will it become even thinner?<<
When a person becomes a breatharian without forcing any changes to happen in their body, the body naturally adjust everything, all the organs and functions to work perfectly. You may like or not the results, it depends on your opinion about how the body should look like in your case.
>> Will I keep my weight when things are stabilised after the "process"?<<
See the answer above.

Hi Shakti - I would agree with the comments above from Joachim (JMW), however I would like to add that your Inner Divine Teacher holds all the answers, to hear its voice be silent and ask what you need to know, the answers will come, No other authority, book or teacher knows better what is best for you than your own Inner Guidance. Read all can on this forum there are many excellent posts here from different contributors, if you feel guided read the books of Joachim and Jasmuheen and others or whatever you feel drawn to. Also it is not necessary to do the 21 process to be pranically fed, again tune inwards as I now realise everyone has their own unique way to make the transition process, a singing heart at the thought of being free from the need to eat food is an indicator that it may well be you are encoded in this embodiment to free yourself from the limiting belief that one needs to eat to survive, just my thoughts.

Post subject: Thanks for your insight Malika
When I first heard about breatharianism I was intrigued. I noticed the more I thought about it the more I noticed my body tingling at the idea.
One day I asked all of my cells for their attention and asked what they all thought of us going toward and attaining a state of not requiring food. I started tingling and it was as if a rush of applause began and was buzzing my whole body. All my cells were cheering with so much excitement.
I have come to believe that our body is a perfectionist and that if we will listen to it we will travel the path from SAD to beatharian in just a few short years.

Jayson Blair: faking it
Last week, New York Times reporter Jayson Blair joined Janet Cooke, formerly of the Washington Post, the New Republic's Stephen Glass, the Boston Globe's Patricia Smith, and Jay Forman in Slate as journalists who got caught embellishing, exaggerating, and outright lying in print. The will to fabricate cuts across disciplines, with academics and scientists inventing data, too. Last year, Emory University history professor Michael A. Bellesiles resigned following an investigation of charges that he concocted evidence to support his book Arming America, and Bell Labs fired researcher Jan Hendrik Schon when it discovered he made up scientific data and published it.
The unmasking of a counterfeiter tends to inspire busy discussions of his motive. In the case of Blair, who is black, observers such as Mickey Kaus speculate that affirmative action may have pushed Blair to a position of responsibility before he was ready for it. The busted fabricator almost always cites personal or emotional problems, and sure enough, Blair struck that note last week, telling the Associated Press, "I have been struggling with recurring personal issues, which have caused me great pain. I am now seeking appropriate counseling. ..."
Those seeking to "understand" the liars' behavior tend to blame the liars' employers, making the liar the victim. The bosses pushed him too hard, or they took a young, promising journalist and threw him into the deep end—beyond his known abilities and experience—way before he was ready. Folks rush to swaddle the liar and his motives in psychobabble instead of placing the onus where it belongs.
No single explanation can cover every case, but my guess is that most liars make things up for the simple reason that they don't have the talent or the ability to get the story any other way. According to the Washington City Paper account, Blair repeatedly concocted specifics, both sensational and mundane, while covering the D.C. sniper story. He didn't really need to: Other Times reporters were on the story, too. My guess is that Blair made stuff up because he didn't know how to wheedle gossip out of prosecutors and cops, he didn't know how to put two and two together and make the next call to find news, and he didn't know how to take notes and report the facts straight.
Jonathan Chait, who worked with Glass at the New Republic, remembers that Glass wasn't really much of a stylist: Glass' stories read beautifully because the late Michael Kelly poured his genius into them before publication. Kelly would often remark on reading a Glass first draft of how great the story was but that he needed more detail. As it turned out, Glass wasn't much of a reporter, either. Instead of digging for more, he conjured the effects he thought Kelly wanted. A little closer to home, a similar thing happened at Slate when I edited Jay Forman's monkeyfishing piece. When Forman, who did go monkeyfishing, turned in a first, flat draft about his Florida Keys adventure, I encouraged him through several rewrites to add more writerly detail to increase the piece's verisimilitude. Forman complied, inventing numerous twists to the tale and even confessing intense remorse for things he never did.
The lesson I learned isn't to refrain from asking writers for detail but to be skeptical about details that sound too good or that you had to push too hard to get the writer to uncover or that are suspicious simply because any writer worth his salt would have put them in his first draft. All that said, it's almost impossible for an editor to beat a good liar every time out.
Blair, like Glass, Cooke, Smith, and Forman, got away with making things up for as long as he did because journalism is built on trust. As New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines told the Washington Post today, "Frankly, no newspaper in the world is set up to monitor for cheats and fabricators." When an editor gives somebody a notebook and pencil and tells him to go out and report, it's a little bit like giving somebody you barely know a loaded gun. You expect him to use it wisely and honestly. But one slip, and there's hamburger all over the wallpaper! Hence, most reporters don't make things up because 1) they're as ethical as Jesus Christ or 2) they know they'll get caught.
The Blair revelations should distress everybody who creates or consumes copy. How many prevaricators lurk out there? But the wrong takeaway from the Blair-Cooke-Glass-Forman disasters is to assume that young people can't be trusted to report. Instead (and how about this for drawing a happy face in a mound of manure?), their sordid experiences in the journalism trade indicate that so many young people get caught making stuff up because you can't get away with it for very long. Journalism ain't perfect, but it loves to eat its sinners.

But I do love pie. And I do love Julia Child. So when we decided to make a dinner in honour of Julia Child's birthday last year (inspired by a menu in Bon Appetit magazine), I thought we'd substitute the proposed dessert, Reine de Saba, for something I'd never tried before: the ultimate French dessert, tarte tatin. E voila – a new recipe entered my speed dial repertoire and a baker was born.
Since then I've made this tarte tatin many times, and every time it's delighted me with just how easy baking can be. With fall apples filling the farmers' market tables and in cold storage, it's a perfect time to try this one yourself. C'est ci bon!
Julia's Tarte Tatin
from Julia's Kitchen Wisdom
serves six
Here's my version of Julia's pie dough, which can be used for the tarte or for any sweet or savoury pie you wish to make. You will need about half of this recipe for the tarte. If you have a favourite pie dough recipe, by all means use it. The great thing about dough is that it can be frozen so you can have some at the ready whenever you're in the mood for a sweet treat. Also be sure to allow enough time for the dough to rest; while some recipes will call for a mere 30 minutes, I like to let the dough rest, as Julia suggests, for a couple of hours.
For the Tarte Tatin:
6-8 Jonagold apples, cored, peeled and halved (any good baking apples will work well here)
The juice and zest of 1 lemon
1½ cups sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Heavy oveproof 9-inch skillet for cooking and baking
Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, as accompaniment
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F, with the rack in the lower middle position.
2. Slice the halved apples into 4 lengthwise wedges each, and toss in a large bowl with the lemon juice and zest and ½ cup of the sugar. Drain the apples after macerating 20 minutes.
3. In the skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining 1 cup sugar and cook until the syrup bubbles and turns golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and arrange a layer of apple slices in a circular pattern on the caramel in the skillet, then arrange the remaining apples neatly on top.
Everything's better with butter!
4. Return the pan to moderately high heat and cook for about 25 minutes, covering the pan after 10 minutes. Every few minutes press down on the apples and baste them with the juices. When the juices are thick and syrupy, remove the pan from the heat. Watch and smell at this step - because of the high amount of sugar, your syrup can go from thick and buttery to burnt in seconds.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle, ⅛-inch thick and 1-inch larger than the top of the pan. Drape the dough over the apples, pressing the edge of the dough between the apples and the inside of the pan. Cut 4 small steam holes on the top of the dough. Bake until the pastry has browned and crisped, about 20 minutes.
Emile Henri tarte tatin baking dish that I've tried out once, with only slightly better success. This is a case where practice makes perfect, and I am very happy to keep practicing! Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, as desired.
A bit messy but no one will mind
Bon appétit!

Electric cars return to High Plains ElectroRally; race set for Sept. 26
09/20/13 kb
The 2013 running of the High Plains ElectroRally -- where student driving teams see whose electric car design can make the most laps in an hour -- will be Thursday, Sept. 26, at Frontier Park West, Hays.
The teams, primarily from high schools across the state, race full-size electric cars of their own design and construction.
The race is sponsored by Fort Hays State University's Institute of Applied Science, NCK Technical College, Midwest Energy, Sunflower Electric Power Corp. and Western Electric Co-op.
Volunteers begin setting up the quarter-mile road course, marking the way with hay bales and orange road cones, in Frontier Park at about 6:30 a.m. Registration opens at 7 a.m.
So far, said race coordinator Joe Chretien, associate professor of applied technology at FHSU, about 10 schools have registered, including such perennial participants as Hays High School, Hoisington High School, Scott City High School, Wheatland High School in Grainfield, Ulysses High School and Dighton High School.
By race time, he said, he expects the field will have about the usual 20 schools. Many just show up on race day. Pre-registration is not required.
Two races are scheduled with each race having two classes of cars. The Standard Class is cars that meet the criteria for a standard Electrathon America car. The Solar Class is for those who want to try out their solar arrays. The races are professionally run with strict car inspections.
"Safety is the rule of the day," said Chretien.
Kevin Vering, an electronics instructor at NCK Tech, will serve as race steward, enforcing safety and race rules and good sportsmanship. Volunteers from NCK Tech and from the sponsoring power companies work the race, ensuring that teams are ready by race time and that all of races run safely and smoothly.
Power company volunteers serve as judges, counting and tallying laps and awarding prizes to the winners.
The sponsors also provide a large quantity of food to feeding all race participants, advisors, sponsors and the many volunteers that make this event happen, said Chretien.
"This event provides a day of learning and fun for everyone," said Chretien. "The public is welcome to come and join in at no charge."
Spectator seating is available, but those who prefer their own lawn chairs are welcome to bring them, he said.
Races start at 10:30 a.m.

The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is one of the highly visited tourist places in India. Surrounded by the beautiful Arawali Mountains, the historical city of Jaipur represents the exotic land of Rajasthan just as ably as it represents the modern face of 21st century India. Jaipur was founded by Sawai Jai Singh 2nd in the early 18th century after he felt the need to shift his base from Amber, a nearby town, to some place with a larger scope for development. Jaipur was designed by the best available architects from the country under Maharaja (King) Sawai Jai Singh's guidance. Much of Jaipur's old part still operates the same way as its founder intended.
Situated at a five to six hours drive from Delhi, Jaipur forms one corner of the golden triangle of tourism in India, the others being Delhi and Agra. Jaipur is from where one can enter Rajasthan and then move on to the inner parts on a detailed tour. Jaipur is logically divided in two parts, the old and the new. While the new part is embellished with swanky multiplexes, malls, call centers and fast, disciplined traffic, the old part, mostly decorated with aging constructions in pink, raises a feeling of nostalgia. The markets in the old part still function in single and double storied buildings constructed two centuries ago. It is amusing to see the branches of some of the modern organizations, such as today's high tech banks, inhabiting some of these rustic buildings. Though most of Jaipur constitutes as a tourist place, the major bunch of tourist attractions is situated in the old part.
Pink City, the original Jaipur, is situated near the centre of the town. It is surrounded from all sides by a bastioned wall, the reason why it is also called Walled City. Pink City was designed by Vidhyadhar Chakravorty, a renowned architect from Bengal, under the imaginative and foresighted direction of Sawai Jai Singhji. Pink City, a well planned town, was a spacious colonization surrounded by a strong wall with nine, well-adorned gates. The king's palace was located in the centre of Pink City, whereas houses and markets were located in seven well planned blocks. Though somewhat smeared by today's haphazard traffic, noise and a mesh of electricity poles and wires, one can still imagine how grand this civilization must have been during its early days - an out and out pink town with well embellished houses and wide streets inhabited by a leisurely crowd of colorfully dressed walkers and horse riders moving about. As you take a ride through Pink City, you notice that the same old constructions still stand. Even the newly built buildings in Pink City are fashioned after the old ones, retaining the splendor.
Apart from some of the important site seeing attractions in the Pink City, which lie in the centre, one must visit the bazaars situated here. Bapu Bazaar, Chandpol Bazaar, Sireh Deori Bazaar, Tripolia Bazaar, Ramganj Bazaar and Johari Bazaar are some of the important markets of Jaipur.
City Palace is the major attraction of Jaipur amongst others. Situated in Pink City, this complex of royal palaces, courtyards, temples and gardens was started by Maharaja Jai Singh II, who also constructed the wall around it. Various successors of Jai Singh added later to the City Palace Complex during their reign. The present royal family of Jaipur still resides in the City Palace Complex, in a seven storied palace named Chandramahal, which is the king's private residence. At City Palace Complex, one can witness a blend of Indian, Mughal and European styles of architecture. Mubarak Mahal, Mukut Mahal, Maharani's Palace and Shri Govind Dev Temple are some of the important buildings in the City Palace Complex. The complex also hosts the City Palace Museum, a major attraction where the items that belonged to the royal families are displayed.
Jantar Mantar is an observatory situated near City Palace Complex. At Jantar Mantar, there are 14 architectural astronomical tools that help measure time as well as predict eclipses. Jantar Mantar was built over the period of 1727 and 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. A world heritage site, Jantar Mantar is an important tourist spot in Jaipur.
Hava Mahal, a major architectural landmark in Jaipur, is a five storied palace with 953 windows. Literally, Hava Mahal means the palace of wind. Hava Mahal was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799.
Another famous spot in Jaipur is Jal Mahal, the palace in water. Standing in the middle of a lake, Jal Mahal makes a striking site during the day as well as by the night, when it is well lit. Today, a heritage hotel, it is off limits to the tourists. However, crowd gathers at the lakeside during the evening to admire the view of well lit Jal Mahal during dusk. It is a popular spot amongst the residents of Jaipur.
Of the three major forts in Jaipur, Amber Fort is one. It is the oldest of the three, and served as the ruling fort of the town of Amber before the populace was shifted to Jaipur. The view of Amber Fort, standing on a hillock behind the Maota Lake is famous. On a ride up to Amber Fort, one can find attractive views of Jaipur city, the Jal Mahal and the lake around it being the prominent highlight. The walls of the fort that run up and down the surrounding hills also make a wonderful site. A palace named Sheesh Mahal, or Mirror Palace is one of the attractions about Amber Fort. It is said that during the residence of the royalties the entire Sheesh Mahal could be lit up with the help of one candle. Every evening a Sound and Light Show takes place at Amber Fort, which is a major tourist attraction of Jaipur.
Jaigarh Fort is situated higher up on a hill in a close proximity to the Amber Fort. As the two of these forts are connected through passages, a misconception dwells that both the forts are one and the same. One of the finest forts in India, Jaigarh is situated at a good strategic location and offers nice views of the plains surrounded by the Aravali Mountains. The fort has a large water reservoir which makes a good site. Jaivan, the cannon on wheels, situated on top of the fort is the major attraction here. It is believed that this gigantic cannon of Jaipur consumes 100 KGs of gunpowder and is capable of firing a 50 KG cannonball. Several myths exist about Jaivan. The most intriguing story recounts that when Jaivan was fired, for the first and the last time during the test by Maharaja Jaisingh II, hundreds of people went deaf, several died of heart failures and many pregnant women in the town lost their fetuses. The cannonball hit the ground 40 kilometers far and created a small crater. Some also believe it to be the largest cannon in the world.
Nahargarh Fort resides on the extreme edge of the hill on which Jaigarh Fort is situated. Nahargarh Fort offers the most wonderful view of Jaipur City. Constructed mostly by Jai Singh II, it is an interesting place to visit where one can visit from close the royal chambers, courtyards and the rooms of daily use right from the royal kitchens to toilets.
Amongst other attractions of Jaipur is Chokhi Dhani, a village that illustrates the culture of Rajasthan. Jaipur is famous for the cuisine of Dal-Bati-Koorma, and it is believed that it is best served at Chokhi Dhani. Raj Mandir is a famous movie theatre of Jaipur admired for its architecture. Tourists pay a visit to Raj Mandir just to admire the theatre irrespective of the movie playing there.
A large city brim-full of attractions, it is recommended that you spend a week at leisure in Jaipur to taste all that it has to offer. One of the important settlements in India, Jaipur is a must see for anyone who wants a taste of Rajasthan, or of India, for that matter.
Quick Reference
Jaipur is one of the major tourist destinations of India, forming the most visited tourist circuit of India – Delhi-Agra-Jaipur. This capital city of Rajasthan is rapidly turning into a metro city. Major tourist attractions of Jaipur are the City Palace & Museum and the monuments around it, and three interesting forts. City Palace is a blend of European, Mughal and Indian styles of architecture. The complex hosts the City Palace Museum, where artifacts belonging to royal families are displayed. Jantar Mantar is a highly visited observatory near City Palace. Hawa Mahal is another interesting place of architectural importance nearby. Another popular spot in Jaipur is Jal Mahal, the palace in water. One of the three important forts of Jaipur, Amber Fort is important from where you can enjoy attractive views of Jaipur. Other important forts of Jaipur are Jaigarh Fort and Nahargarh Fort. Apart from these attractions there are many more sites one can visit at a leisurely time.

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) has launched a campaign bus tour in preparation for next year's seven-in-one elections and is scheduled to begin nominating candidates for the major elections after the conclusion of its party congress next month, KMT Vice Chairman Tseng Yung-chuan (曾永權) said on Saturday.
"The KMT decided to launch the bus tour after several grassroots members urged us to prepare potential candidates for the elections as soon as possible," Tseng said, adding that the party also planned to start campaigning and mapping out election strategies early.
According to KMT members familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity, candidates in constituencies that are less complicated or electoral districts in which the party has completed its strategic planning would be among the first wave of candidates to be announced next month.
"The KMT has finished strategic planning in most boroughs and villages around the country," the members said.
"It also plans to hold early candidate nominations for mayoral and commissioner posts of KMT-controlled cities and counties for which no other party members except for the current post holders have expressed an interest in running," they said.
Among them are Taoyuan County, Hsinchu City, Taitung County and Yunlin County, the members added.
As for cities and counties that have attracted more than two candidate hopefuls within the party, such as Taipei, Keelung, Changhua County, Miaoli County and Nantou County, the party would not begin nominating candidates for these electoral districts until after next year's Lunar New Year holiday, the members said.
They said that the nominating process for the post of Hsinchu County commissioner, where negotiations between local factions are pending, and for the mayoral posts of Greater Taichung and New Taipei City (新北市), whose current office holders have yet to announce whether they intend to run for re-election, also would not commence until February next year.
With regard to the party's mayoral candidates for the six special municipalities, there have been rumors that New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu (朱立倫) will not seek re-election and that the party headquarters has been trying to persuade former Taipei County commissioner Chou Hsi-wei (周錫瑋) to run for the post.
However, the party members shrugged off such speculation, saying that having Chu run for re-election remains the party's primary goal.
Turning to Greater Taichung, the party members said while the post was hotly contested, the KMT is still waiting for Mayor Jason Hu (胡自強) to announce whether he would seek re-election.
They are also paying close attention to any movements by former Association of East Asian Relations chairman Liao Liou-yi (廖了以), who is also considered to be a possible candidate for the post.
As for the possible successor to Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌), the party members said there are three likely candidates: former Taipei EasyCard Corp chairman Sean Lien (連勝文) and KMT legislators Ting Shou-chung (丁守中) and Alex Tsai (蔡正元).
The party members said that while Minister Without Portfolio Yang Chiu-hsing (楊秋興) could be the party's most likely candidate for next year's Greater Kaohsiung mayoral election, the party has not yet discovered a suitable candidate for the mayoral post of Greater Tainan, a traditional Democratic Progressive Party stronghold.
The seven-in-one elections — deemed by most political parties to be a vital prelude to the 2016 presidential election — will be held concurrently to pick the mayors of the six special municipalities, county commissioners, city mayors, five municipality councilors, county and city councilors, township wardens and councilors, borough wardens and village heads.

Fact: 85% of the reason for success in business is people skills, leaving only 15% riding on your business degree and years of experience. Using the office holiday party to showcase your people skills could be a better career move than that brilliant business plan you submitted last month.
Go! Although disguised as a social event, the office party is as much part of your job responsibilities as attending any other meeting called by your boss. Make no mistake: this is business, not pleasure. In the absence of a well-established and unavoidable previous engagement, consider attendance as mandatory.
Dress appropriately This is a business event; keep the business in your choice of what to wear. Dress at the upper end of what you consider business formal. Easier for men who can wear a blue suit and either a conservative or festive tie. Women, keep it smart—not sexy. No cleavage means no gossip behind your back or leering looks at work. Review with your spouse or guest what they will be wearing, also. It will reflect on YOU if your wife wears a revealing dress, or your husband's idea of dressing up is wearing clean jeans.
There is no holiday magic behind the following key social skills that successful people use year 'round, not just at the office party:
Greet your host when you arrive (by the way, "host" is a gender-neutral term). It is not acceptable to simply head for the bar and buffet and hope to catch up with your host later in the evening. A well-organised party of over 50 guests should include a receiving line making it easy for the host to greet everyone on arrival.
Shake hands and remember that this is the only acceptable touching allowed at a business function. Avoid determined kissers by locking your elbow when shaking hands to enforce the distance. Handshakes are accompanied by direct eye contact (don't be looking over their shoulder to see who else is there) and often include an introduction.
Introduce yourself and others When introducing yourself, use your first and last name; never call yourself "Mr. Wales" or "Mrs. Dixon" unless you are introducing yourself to a child. In a business environment, junior (or less important) people are introduced to senior (or more important) people. Don't delude yourself that there is no ranking simply because it is a party. Introduce people by name, not by their position or relationship to you although you may usually explain the relationship. For example: "Ms Boss, may I introduce Julius Brown, my husband." (It is up to your boss whether she will ask your husband to call her by her first name.)
Next week: the art of mingling and polite conversation, how to enjoy the hospitality in moderation, and the all-important thank you letter!

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
WESTERVILLE, OHIO – The Otterbein Cardinals closed out the 2011 campaign with a convincing 40-14 victory over Wilmington on Senior Day, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
With the win, the Cardinals finish the regular season 3-7 overall, 2-7 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC). The loss drops Wilmington to 0-9 in the OAC, 0-10 overall.
Otterbein struck first on their second possession of the game. Senior quarterback Austin Schlosser connected with senior tight end Gabe Shively for a 12-yard touchdown to put Otterbein up 7-0 with 5:52 left in the first quarter.
After a quick three-and-out by Wilmington, Schlosser connected on a 30-yard pass to senior wide receiver Trey Fairchild which put Otterbein inside the Quaker 10-yard line. Schlosser would eventually take the ball in from two yards out to give the Cards a 13-0 lead with 2:49 left in the first quarter.
Wilmington responded with a touchdown of their own to make the score 13-7. However the Quakers did not pull any closer.
Junior running back Cody Green scored from four and three yards out, and fellow junior running back Brit Musal added a touchdown from one yard out to give Otterbein a 33-7 lead with 3:12 remaining in the third quarter.
Following a Quaker touchdown, the Cardinals would finish off the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run by junior running back Brock Burzanko with 3:53 left in the game.

On New Year's Eve, the stroke of midnight will find me in bed, fast asleep. But if I had the energy to celebrate late into the night, I would want to be at a grand and glorious outdoor fete like my friend David's. Come peek in on his stunning winter soiree and be inspired to bring in the New Year in style at your home.
On New Year's Eve, the stroke of midnight will find me in bed, fast asleep. But if I had the energy to celebrate late into the night, I would want to be at a grand and glorious outdoor fete like my friend David's. Come peek in on his stunning winter soiree and be inspired to bring in the New Year in style at your home.
When I saw David's home dressed for a decadent midnight champagne and dessert celebration I wanted to disappear into this fairytale like setting.
Those of us who live in colder climates shy away from hosting events outdoors this time of year. But if you're in a part of the country that is more moderate, take the party outdoors on New Year's. Illuminate your outdoor room with yards of twinkling lights.
For romantic outdoor lighting, I also like to suspend votive cups from the branches of my shrubs and line my walkways with lanterns.
Even if it's too cold and snowy in your part of the country to stay outdoors too long, don't ignore the great potential of your outdoor rooms. If you have an outdoor hearth, set it with a blazing fire and toss cuddly blankets on your outdoor furnishings so guests can snuggle by the fire. Can it get more romantic than that? You can also use your outdoor room for a bar service, eliminating your need to ice your drinks.
But if the thought of trekking out into the cold is completely abhorrent, treat your outdoor space as a decorative element. Hang glass votives in your trees and bushes, then fill them with battery operated candles, so guests can look out on a magical vista of sparkling lights. Or, line your walkway with candle-filled lanterns. I really love battery operated candles that work on timers or have remote controls because you can turn them on at dusk every night without having to go out in the cold.
Shake things up a bit by using fine indoor furnishings and trims outside. It's so unexpected to find such luxury on the patio that it feels positively indulgent. David does this masterfully on his portico. His outdoor furnishings feature a mix of materials, all of which can handle the stinging Midwest weather and still look like a million bucks. His winged back chairs, which look simply smashing in this setting, are covered in white vinyl so they can handle rain, birds, leaves -- you name it. Just a wipe with a rag and they are sparkling new. David's outdoor color scheme of black and white is one of my all time favorites, and I've reinvented this time and again on my own porch.
On Jan. 1, the diet begins. So on Dec. 31, indulge. Pull out your best serving pieces to present food in the most dramatic way possible. My mantra is presentation over preparation, and it has served me well.
Everything looks more regal when placed on a riser and covered with a glass cloche.
A mistake people often make when setting up a food service is to cover the tabletop with a sea of flat platters and bowls, a la church potluck. The secret is to employ a mixture of serving pieces that give you a variety of heights.
When the clock strikes midnight, you want to have plenty of iced bubbly to pour into your guests' glasses. Instead of hiding pretty bottles of champagne or Prosecco in the fridge, incorporate them into your party decor. Fill a silver punch bowl with ice to display the drinks. Or, find another interesting container to be your ice bucket, like a wooden dough bowl, blue and white cachepots or even a rustic bird bath.
Instead of just lining up your champagne flutes on the tabletop, ground them on an elegant silver tray. Beautiful trays are another one of my ace-in-the-hole serving pieces because anything you put on top of them is instantly elevated from ho hum to magnificent.
Here's to a fabulous 2013!
No matter how you celebrate the end of 2012, whether you're at a grand party with legions of guests, an intimate gathering with your closest friends, or, curled up under a pile of quilts getting some well-earned post-holiday sleep, I hope the evening finds you happy and well.

Nutrient Pollution Educational Materials Online
To help raise awareness about nutrient pollution, which is caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus in the air and water, EPA has developed new educational materials, including:
• Community Outreach Toolkit—designed to assist watershed groups, NGOs, states, and federal partners with messaging and outreach to the media about nutrient pollution.
• Nutrient Pollution Video—aims to raise awareness about nutrient problem, the first step in addressing and reducing the problem.
• Postcard/Poster—shows a before and after photo of Lake Erie to illustrate the impacts of nutrient pollution.
• Future Farmers of America Curriculum—EPA worked with several other federal agencies on lesson plans for young farmers about source water protection and management practices that can help control runoff to protect surface and groundwater.
You can access the first three and other materials at http://water.epa.gov//polwaste/nutrientoutreach.cfm. Use the "share this" button under the postcard to share it on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The curriculum can be directly found at https://www.ffa.org/FFAResources/ffalearn/sourcesofdrinkingwater/Pages/nosolicit.html

I just found the magnificent wp_insert_post function and have a few basic question about it. *For reference I used this on a multisite install for a number of blogs running theme_x. I simply wanted to add a page to each blog (without having to do it through WP Admin). This seems to have mostly-worked though I'm not sure I'm using it for its intended purpose?
- What happens if the specified page title already exists on several blogs? Does it a) terminate the function b)rename in typical WP fashion to "page-name-2" format, or c) something else?
- Should I remove the code from the theme template now that I have done what I needed to? I'd like to leave it in just incase more blogs are added which use this theme but I'm wondering if it creates unnecessary database overload (does it get run every page load)?
- The page doesn't appear anywhere in WP admin? Though all blogs using this theme do indeed resolve to the newly-added page like so ... URL/newly-added-page. This is fine for me in this instance, but it makes me think I'm not using the function "properly" (I kinda expected a new page in WP Admin also)
