The Eco Repose is the newest offering from the Eco Mattress Store. This eco-friendly memory foam mattress is simply constructed, but offers unparalleled support and outstanding value. By pairing a layer of plant-based memory foam with bio-support foam, you get a mattress that is incredibly supportive yet remains temperature neutral.
We have upgraded the cover on the Eco Repose memory foam mattress. If you purchased the mattress during our last Living Social or Groupon promotion, you will find a slightly different, but still excellent stretch-knit cover.
The memory foam in the Eco Repose mattress is made from an extreme open-cell design that allows the mattress to be more inherently breathable than a traditional memory foam mattress. By allowing the memory cell to remain open, the bed is able to quickly and efficiently dissipate the heat and moisture that can build up as you sleep.
Traditional closed-cell memory foam mattress are overly sensitive to changes in ambient temperature. They will feel very firm when the room is cool and very soft when the room is warm. This heat sensitivity is compounded by the body heat of the sleeper, which will make them sink into the mattress.
By yielding just enough the the parts of your body that require support, the Eco Repose mattress encourages proper posture and help you wake feeling more refreshed than ever. The supportive memory foam mattress is also made from a foam compound that is cleaner and does not off-gas.
The soy-derived memory mattress also benefits from a non off-gassing design that makes the mattress hypoallergenic. The Eco Repose memory foam mattress is also extremely resistant to dust mite and bed bugs.
We're so confident about the new Eco Repose mattress that we've partnered with our manufacturer to offer an industry leading 20-year warranty. Most memory foam mattresses have a 5 - 10 year warranty. The 20 year warranty on the Eco Repose is a sign of the quality of the mattress and the confidence we have in its longevity.
The Eco Repose 10-inch Memory Foam Mattress is not eligible for the 90-day guarantee.
Get a riser platform and replace both your bed frame and box spring. A platform riser is a great way to support your mattress and create tons of extra storage space under your bed. Click here to see the full product page.

DETROIT (AP) - A judge declared a mistrial Tuesday after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a Detroit police officer who fatally shot a 7-year-old girl during a chaotic search for a murder suspect that was recorded by a reality TV crew.
Loud voices could be heard in the jury room a few hours before jurors threw in the towel and were dismissed. They sent three notes, the last one indicating they still couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on the third day of deliberations, despite encouragement from Wayne County Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway.
Joseph Weekley, a member of an elite police squad, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
He was accused of being 'grossly negligent' in how he handled his submachine gun as his black-clad, masked and armed unit stormed the Detroit home to capture a suspect in May 2010. Police threw a stun grenade through a window, and Weekley was the first officer through the door.
He told jurors that he accidentally pulled the trigger during a struggle with the girl's grandmother, but Mertilla Jones denied interfering with the gun. Weekley was not charged with intentionally shooting Aiyana.
The hunt for a murder suspect was being recorded by a crew from 'The First 48,' a police show on A&E Networks. Some video shot from the sidewalk was part of the evidence.
The jury could have convicted Weekley of involuntary manslaughter, a felony, or reckless discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor. He also could have been cleared of all charges.
The judge listed several factors for the jury to consider on the involuntary manslaughter charge. To convict, the jury had to find that he willfully disregarded possible injuries to others by failing to control his gun, as well as other elements.
'We are stuck,' the jury said in its first note Tuesday.
Before dismissing the jurors, the judge asked if anyone felt that more deliberations would be fruitful if 'some matters' could be addressed. She didn't elaborate. Only one juror raised her hand.
'One out of 12 probably won't be enough,' Hathaway said.
The mistrial doesn't mean the charges go away. Hathaway will hold future hearings to discuss the case.
'The Wayne County prosecutor's office is prepared to proceed with the case,' Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement.
There was no immediate comment from Weekley or his attorney, Steve Fishman.
Separately, a videographer for the 'The First 48,' Allison Howard, is charged with perjury and withholding video crucial to the investigation. Her trial is set for June 24.

Project Description
The Healing Power of Medicinal Mushrooms
Find out how you can harness nature's most powerful weapon against today's worst diseases…
Whether you want to slow cancer growth, or simply prevent a cold or the flu… there's no more powerful weapon in nature's arsenal than the mushroom. And with new immune threats like the swine flu—and the avian flu before it—emerging every day, this is one critical natural resource you can't afford to be without.
Dozens of species of medicinal mushrooms have been singled out for their unique ability to boost immune health and fight disease—from diabetes and cancer, to heart disease and many more life-threatening illnesses. Their healing legacy has played a vital role in natural medicine for almost two millennia now—and the interest around them still continues to thrive.
Today, medicinal mushrooms remain as one of the mainstays of alternative medicine—and pharmaceutical companies the world over have devoted their efforts to replicating their many remarkable healing properties.
But with so many different products to choose from, it can be difficult to know which type of mushroom best addresses your unique health concerns—and that's why I've written this FREE report for you. In it, I'll provide detailed descriptions of eleven of the most popular—and most powerful—medicinal mushrooms available to you today.
Each of these mushrooms has a variety of crucial applications—with strengths ranging from the eradication of fungus and bacteria, to the even more impressive ability to stave off cancer and deadly viruses by way of a vigorous boost to your immune system.
I'll list all of these applications for you—and I'll also explain exactly how these mushrooms act to build your body's natural defenses, safely and naturally.
Your free guide includes:
- Comprehensive descriptions of 11 of the most powerful medicinal mushrooms for cancer inhibition and immune support—including Reishi, Maitake, Cordyceps and more
- An in-depth analysis of your body's immune system—and how these mushrooms work to keep your natural defenses in peak shape
- An account of the active chemical constituents responsible for mushroom's astounding healing powers—compounds that drug companies have tried to replicate for decades!
- Details on the various ways that a well-crafted organic mushroom blend can boost natural immunity, inhibit deadly tumor growth, a play a critical role in integrative cancer therapies.
I've compiled all of this information in a single free guide for you to keep—and to share with your family and friends as a vital resource for years to come. As a doctor of integrative medicine, it is my mission to share the knowledge and experience I have gained from treating patients with anyone who can benefit—thereby allowing you to make better decisions for your own health.
So I want you to have access to this invaluable knowledge at no cost, risk or obligation—because this, to me, is what the true practice of medicine is really intended to be.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei are calling on Congress to require smartphone makers to install "kill switches" on phones to render them useless if stolen.
Maffei joined Schneiderman Friday to say he's co-sponsoring legislation in the House designed to curb smartphone thefts. Kill switches allow people to remotely delete their phone's data if the device is stolen.
Maffei, a Democrat, says the initiative would deter phone thefts by making them worthless on the black market.
Schneiderman commended Maffei for supporting what he called "groundbreaking" legislation. The Democratic attorney general has been pushing smartphone makers to do more to prevent thefts.

State Agencies | Online Services
Our water quality is constantly threatened by many different sources and types of pollution. Under the Clean Water Act, every state must adopt water quality standards to protect, maintain and improve the quality of the nation's surface waters. These standards represent a level of water quality that will support the goal of "swimmable/fishable" waters. Water quality standards are ambient standards as opposed to discharge-type standards. These ambient standards, through a process of back calculation procedures known as total maximum daily loads or wasteload allocations form the basis of water quality based permit limitations that regulate the discharge of pollutants into surface waters under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program.
U.S. EPA's water quality standards website is at https://www.epa.gov/wqs-tech.
Ohio's water quality standards, set forth in Chapter 3745-1 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC), include four major components:
Brief summaries of these components are below. For a more detailed summary, see:
Implementation of Ohio's water quality standards set forth in Chapter 3745-2 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC), includes rules for developing water quality based effluent limitations in NPDES permits for point sources and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for discharges of any pollutant requiring control, including toxic, carcinogenic, and organoleptic pollutants.
Go to rules 3745-1-08 to 3745-1-32 of the OAC. Each of those rules covers a major drainage basin. Use the Water Body Use Designation Index on that page to find the rule number and page number of your water body of interest.
Ohio drainage basins and associated rule numbers in OAC 3745-1
Beneficial use designations describe existing or potential uses of water bodies. They take into consideration the use and value of water for public water supplies, protection and propagation of aquatic life, recreation in and on the water, agricultural, industrial and other purposes. Ohio EPA assigns beneficial use designations to water bodies in the state. There may be more than one use designation assigned to a water body. Examples of beneficial use designations include: public water supply, primary contact recreation, and aquatic life uses (warmwater habitat, exceptional warmwater habitat, etc.).
Use designations are defined in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-1-07 of the OAC and are assigned in rules 3745-1-08 to 3745-1-32 of the OAC. Attainment of use designations is based on specific numeric and narrative criteria. To ensure protection of those beneficial uses, Ohio EPA determines and assigns maximum concentrations for over 100 chemicals.
Narrative "free froms", located in rule 3745-1-04 of the OAC, are general water quality criteria that apply to all surface waters. These criteria state that all waters shall be free from sludge, floating debris, oil and scum, color and odor producing materials, substances that are harmful to human, animal or aquatic life, and nutrients in concentrations that may cause algal blooms.
Much of Ohio EPA's present strategy regarding water quality based permitting is based upon the narrative free from, "no toxics in toxic amounts." Ohio EPA developed its strategy based on an evaluation of the potential for significant toxic impacts within the receiving waters. Very important components of this evaluation are the biological survey program and the biological criteria used to judge aquatic life use attainment.
Numeric criteria are estimations of concentrations of chemicals and degree of aquatic life toxicity allowable in a water body without adversely impacting its beneficial uses. Although numeric criteria are applied to water bodies, they primarily are used to regulate dischargers through NPDES permits.
Numeric criteria consist of chemical criteria, whole effluent toxicity levels and biological criteria.
Aquatic life and human health water quality criteria for individual chemicals are derived from laboratory studies of biological organisms' sensitivity to specific chemicals or combinations of chemicals. In these studies, organisms are exposed to known concentrations of a chemical under varying conditions. For aquatic life water quality criteria, the organisms exposed are a variety of fish, benthic macroinvertebrates and zooplankton. For human health water quality criteria, the organisms exposed are mammals, usually mice or rats.
Based on these tests, guidelines or national criteria recommendations are established by U.S. EPA. Ohio EPA uses these national criteria recommendations in combination with the latest scientific information in setting the appropriate chemical water quality criteria for Ohio's surface waters. Summary tables of aquatic life and human health water quality criteria are available on the Water Quality Criteria & Values tab.
Another class of chemical criteria are those associated with the Agricultural Water Supply use designation. These criteria protect against long term adverse effects on crops and livestock as a result of crop irrigation and livestock watering.
Chemical water quality criteria are in Chapter 3745-1 of the OAC.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) measures the harmful effects of an effluent on living organisms. A bioassay or toxicity test measures the degree of response of an exposed test organism to a specific chemical or effluent. WET can only be measured using living organisms, not by an instrument. WET consists of acute and chronic toxicity tests. Acute toxicity tests measure the responses of organisms that occur soon after exposure to a test substance. Chronic tests measure the long-term response to test substances. WET measures the accumulative effects of chemicals present in an effluent that cannot be assessed using chemical-specific criteria.
Provisions addressing whole effluent toxicity are in rule 3745-1-44, rule 3745-2-09, and paragraph (B) of rule 3745-33-07 of the OAC.
Biological criteria are based on aquatic community characteristics that are measured both structurally and functionally. These criteria are used to evaluate the attainment of aquatic life uses. The data collected in these assessments are used to characterize aquatic life impairment and to help diagnose the cause of this impairment.
The principal biological evaluation tools used by Ohio EPA are the Index of Biotic integrity (IBI), the Modified Index of Well-Being (MIWB) and the Invertebrate Community Index (ICI). These three indices are based on species richness, trophic composition, diversity, presence of pollution-tolerant individuals or species, abundance of biomass, and the presence of diseased or abnormal organisms. The IBI and the MIWB apply to fish; the ICI applies to macroinvertebrates. Ohio EPA uses the results of sampling reference sites to set minimum criteria index scores for use designations in water quality standards.
Provisions addressing biological criteria are in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-1-07 of the OAC.
The antidegradation provisions describe the conditions under which water quality may be lowered in surface waters. Existing beneficial uses must be maintained and protected. Further, water quality better than that needed to protect existing beneficial uses must be maintained unless lower quality is deemed necessary to allow important economic or social development (existing beneficial uses must still be protected).
Provisions addressing antidegradation are in rule 3745-1-05 and rule 3745-1-54 of the OAC. Additional information is available at Antidegradation User's Guide - 2003.
Any interested individuals can have a role in the process of developing water quality standards. Ohio EPA reviews and, as appropriate, revises water quality standards at least once every three years. When water quality standards revisions are proposed, the public is notified of these revisions. A public hearing is held to gather input and comments.
These tables summarize aquatic life and human health numerical water quality criteria and values contained in and developed pursuant to Chapter 3745-1 of the Ohio Administrative Code. The Lake Erie table was last updated on Feb. 3, 2017. The Ohio River table was last updated on February 3, 2017.
Information about the Great Lakes Initiative, including the GLI Toxicity Data Clearinghouse, is on the U.S. EPA Great Lakes Initiative (GLI) Clearinghouse website.
Surface water quality criteria and procedures to calculate water quality criteria are contained in Chapter 3745-1 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). With adoption of rules in 1997 pursuant to the federal Great Lakes Initiative, the water quality criteria for many chemicals differ between the Lake Erie drainage basin and the Ohio River drainage basin. The Lake Erie drainage basin comprises roughly the northern third of Ohio. The Ohio River drainage basin comprises the rest of the state.
The numerical human health water quality criteria are in rule 3745-1-33 (public water supply) and rule 3745-1-34 (fish consumption). The numerical aquatic life and wildlife water quality criteria and other types of numerical water quality criteria are in rule 3745-1-35. Criteria to protect the recreation use (E. coli) and aesthetic conditions are found in rule 3745-1-37. These rules are available here:
In addition to the numerical criteria in the rules, there are procedures allowing the calculation of additional water quality criteria. These procedures are in the following rules.

What Newspapers Can Learn From Hyperlocals
By: Rob Tornoe
There is no shortage of interest within the newspaper industry about the promise that local online journalism, often dubbed "hyperlocal," offers to the bottom lines of beleaguered companies. The industry has seen a fair number of ups and downs since 2005, when online journalists began to offer content geared toward small geographic regions. Large companies such as The New York Times, Gannett, and AOL have invested millions into solving the hyperlocal riddle, and the results have been mixed at best.
Like any other industry, there have been a number of failures by individuals, businesses, investors, and journalists looking to make a go of this exciting new format for delivering news. But among the failures, there are success stories that point to developing trends and the best strategies to build and sustain a profitable local news site.
The epicenter
New Jersey has been an incubator of sorts for the local online news movement. With home rule in effect, a specific municipality controls every inch of the state, which means most towns have a news-generating city council, local police and fire departments, and a strong sense of community identification and participation to keep reporters on their toes.
Traditional media companies in New Jersey have experimented with launching their own hyperlocal sites. Gannett launched injersey. com in seven towns across the state in 2009, reaching upward of 17 towns before deciding to close the sites in July 2011.
The New York Times also branched into New Jersey, launching The Local in early 2009 to cover the towns of Maplewood, Millburn, and South Orange. Just 16 months later, the blogs were shuttered and, as the Times' Jim Schachter told Nieman Journalism Lab, "Large media organizations cannot afford to cover large geographic areas in a hyperlocal way using exclusively paid staff."
On a more positive note, AOL has 86 hyperlocal news sites operating in New Jersey. The first Jersey Patch site launched in February 2009, and journalistic performance has been mixed since then. However, Patch was the first news organization in the state to break the news that Gov. Chris Christie used a state police helicopter to attend his son's baseball game after he spent the entire year criticizing wasteful government spending.
So how does a state with an estimated 140 hyperlocal news sites help sustain and grow this new model for journalism?
Montclair State University has recently taken steps to help nurture local digital journalism in the state. With the help of the Geraldine Dodge Foundation, Montclair State is aiming to help these fragile and often-inexperienced news organizations survive the volatile shifts in the economics of journalism.
To make sure the program got off on the right foot, the university recruited one of the local online news movement's earliest innovators, Debbie Galant, to run the program. According to Galant, the program will help journalists and innovators in all aspects of their business, everything from negotiating health and liability insurance to content sharing and distribution.
"What we're hoping to do is build a news co-op for the state, sort of an Associated Press of local online news," Galant said. "Hopefully it will enable sites to save money and be more efficient by working together."
Revenue streams
Funding hyperlocal journalism efforts is one of many challenges facing journalism entrepreneurs looking for the opportunity to start and maintain their own site.
So far, in order to run a profitable site, selling ads is mandatory. But the key is to build an audience around your content before making any attempt to solicit businesses to advertise. In fact, most of the successful independent local news sites focused on creating interesting content first and operated for months prior to selling ads on their website.
Tracy Record didn't start selling ads on West Seattle Blog until a year after she started publishing, but once she had a steady stream of online visitors she could count on each month, the key was setting the right price point for her advertising inventory.
"We see people who start way low. 'Oh please, please buy an ad from me; I'll sell you one for twenty-five bucks,'" Record said. "It's very hard to raise your prices from a level like that to a level where you can survive as a business, so look at an appropriate starting level."
Denise Civiletti also waited to sell ads on Riverhead (N.Y.) Local until she established a strong following online, even though her husband had lived in the town all his life and knew a lot of business owners who constantly bombarded her to let them buy ads.
"I wanted to build up content and have something of substance, and wanted all the tech issues resolved," Civiletti said. "Before I'm taking people's money, I needed to make sure I can produce."
Dan Jacobson found the best way to sell ads for his new local news site, the Asbury Park (N.J.) Sun, was to stick to the basics, just like he does at his alt-weekly print publication, the triCityNews.
"The key to selling local ads is to keep the rates low and the terms simple," Jacobson said. "I come from branding and marketing experience, so all this click-through stuff I'm not buying into, and neither are our advertisers."
Some hyperlocal news sites have moved toward events as a way to help fund their journalistic enterprises. Lance Knobel, co-founder of Berkeleyside (Berkeley, Calif.), had experience planning large-scale events, and brought that experience with him to help create events to benefit Berkeleyside's bottom line, while at the same time staying true to its mission of helping the community.
The Berkeleyside team has created and developed local business forums. The last event, called "Startup Berkeley," focused on the strengths and weaknesses of local start-ups, how to harness innovation, and how to nurture the local start-up climate.
Among the speakers Knobel recruited were Will Wright, founder of the video game company Stupid Fun Club, and David Hyman, founder and CEO of streaming music service MOG. The event was a success, both for the community and for Berkeleyside, with more than 200 paid attendees.
Ned Berke, founder of Sheepshead Bites (Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, N.Y.), also devotes time and energy to developing events. He is currently gearing up for the second annual "A Taste of Sheepshead Bay," which brings together about 20 restaurants and several hundred community members, as well as food critics from all around the city.
"Not only is this great for our profile, but it really gets the businesses' names out there," Berke said.
A well-funded collection of local news sites serving New York City, called DNAinfo, created an online marketing conference for local small businesses, where the top minds in online marketing, including representatives from Google and Foursquare, present ideas to help small businesses improve their online marketing savvy.
"It's important for us to help local business be successful across the board," said Leela de Kretser, editorial director and publisher of DNAinfo.
DNAinfo also has found success revamping traditional legacy media properties and introducing them online for readers. In addition to its holiday gift guide, the site had a great deal of advertiser support for its back-to-school guide for NYU and Columbia, which is distributed to college students throughout the city.
Michael Shapiro, owner of another New Jersey hyperlocal called The Alternative Press, has begun franchising his existing Web model to surrounding towns for people looking for the opportunity to start a site in their own area. Right now, Shapiro has nine licensed sites up and running, with a tenth on the way Oct. 1.
"There are so many journalists out there who would love to start a hyperlocal for their town. We enable them to do so quickly at a very low cost and give them all the tools they need to be successful so they can focus on growing their business," said Shapiro, who is also planning on launching several new revenue streams in 2013 for The Alternative Press, including sponsorships of the popular daily e-newsletter.
Ben Ilfeld has been a pioneer in terms of developing unique ways to monetize and fund his local online news site, Sacramento Press. In addition to standard banner ads, Ilfeld has developed a local advertising network called SLOAN (Sacramento Local Online Ad Network). It allows other websites to carry ads sold to the network, and the reach has attracted a wide array of advertisers. "Even though a large amount of revenue gets split to other publishers, it's important for the health of our community," Ilfeld said. "It's better if we have a business relationship with other niche sites in the city."
Ilfeld also does social media consulting — everything from building business sites in WordPress to advising on social media strategy. "Sacramento isn't the best economy, so we have to make sure our clients are successful," Ilfeld said.
Driving traffic
Like most community newspapers across the country, the best tool online news sites have to promote themselves is to be out in the community, reporting on everything from little league baseball to the local farmer's market.
Berkeleyside has developed a strategy to partner with traditional media sources to drive traffic to its site. In a content-sharing arrangement with the San Francisco Chronicle, snippets of Berkeleyside stories appear on the Chronicle's website, with a link back to Berkeleyside for readers who want to finish the story. Sometimes this results in thousands of new unique users, especially if a particular story makes it to the Chronicle's homepage.
Shapiro said he's able to keep The Alternative Press front and center by participating in as many local civic groups as he can. He's currently president of the Rotary Club in Berkeley Heights, on the board of several local chambers of commerce, and also volunteers with several local organizations. All of this requires more time to be added to his already packed schedule, but he says it's worth it in order to establish the credibility of the site.
"It's one thing to say you are local; it's another to be truly local," Shapiro said. "We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk, and our communities know it."
The importance of social networking on sites such as Facebook and Twitter can't be overstated, but like anything else, your site's strategy needs to be mapped out, or you could spend an inordinate amount of time that could be better spent reporting, posting new stories, or selling ads.
West Seattle Blog was an early adopter of local social media and has developed a great relationship among readers on its various accounts. The blog's Facebook page has nearly 8,000 followers, and Record posts new content all day across the various networks, all with one aim in mind — engagement.
"It's a place we have to be, because some members of our community are there and expect to get their news there," Record said.
Advice for hyperlocal start-ups
The hyperlocal news scene has been a tricky model for both legacy media and independent entrepreneurs to succeed and thrive in, but the sites that have remained sustainable point to some clues as to how news start-ups can best set themselves up for long-term success.
Ilfeld at Sacramento Press stressed that for legacy companies interested in investing in hyperlocal journalism, the important decisions they need to make are strategic, not tactical.
"I think it's crucial for interested companies to have a good strategy defined, good revenue streams set up, and hit it hard to sell these projects," Ilfeld said. "The biggest failure is a lack of buy-in from either the business side or the editorial side."
At triCityNews, Jacobson always shunned the Internet, for fear that it would cannibalize his print publication's business. So when he launched his hyperlocal news site, the Asbury Park Sun, Jacobson kept his goal modest: Simply have the Sun carry its own weight financially. So far, so good.
"I don't believe the economic benefit of this type of journalism is in conventional profit," Jacobson said. "I think the main economic benefits come in much different forms."
Jacobson sees the Sun as a way to boost the reputation of triCityNews, as well as bring in more advertisers. In addition, having an online presence has allowed a new revenue stream to open up at this company.
For Record at West Seattle Blog, the term "hyperlocal website" can mean many things, but in terms of providing online community news, having a journalism background is all but mandatory.
"I can't imagine being able to do this without everything I learned to do over decades of working with great people — both mentors and colleagues — and I am still learning," Record said.
Record said the best thing any one company or individual can do that's interested in starting their own news site is to strive to keep listening and responding to the community's wants and needs.
"Just keep listening, and you will know what to do. The challenge then becomes finding the time and resources to do it, but that's a whole other story."

Hi, I tried this recipe with chicken fillet (without skin) but it turned out dry n still with some flour after frying it in the airfryer. Am I supposed to mix corn flour wit matter first n then dip it in the mix then only fry? Or supposed to use chicken with skin. Please advise. Thanks!
- July 28, 2014 at 5:25 PM
- Little Inbox said...
Sue Lyn Wong, you need to leave the skin on. The skin will release oil to moisture up the flesh and brown the flour. Chicken thigh tastes better in this recipe.

Good recipe. Thank's for sharing. I found it very useful. Love the final result. Thanks for the inspiration and the tips.

Great recipe....l agree with other reviews that it could be tweaked for more intense or different flavour but it is a nice recipe that the whole family would enjoy. I use philips airfryer to fried them and they were delicious and crispy.

EVERETT — The workday got off to a dark start for thousands of people in Everett on Wednesday morning after a power outage.
Roughly 14,000 customers were without electricity for more than an hour as the outage created a patchwork of neighborhoods without electricity.
Twenty traffic lights went black in Everett at about 9 a.m., complicating the drive for commuters.
Maintenance crews were able to reroute power while making repairs to a transformer that blew in the 3800 block of Broadway in north Everett.
Two loud booms were heard downtown just after 9 a.m. and power was lost moments later. The outage affected customers in downtown, along the waterfront in northwest Everett as well as near Silver Lake and off 52nd Street in central Everett.
The last area to be regain power was near the disabled transformer.
"We were able to isolate the issue so that the businesses near Everett AquaSox stadium could be restored," Snohomish County PUD spokesman Neil Neroutsos said.
The outage was caused when a transformer blew and came into contact with a high-voltage line, Neroutsos said.
Providence Regional Medical Center Everett relied on generators when power was disrupted.
Electricty was lost at Everett High School, North Middle School and Jefferson, Lowell and Madison elementary schools as well as the Everett School District's main headquarters.
Everett School District spokeswoman Mary Waggoner was on Broadway when she heard the transformer blow.
"We thought it was thunder," she said.
With traffic signals out, it made for a slow drive back to her office, "just trying to get across 41st Street," she said.
Wednesday's outage was the second in Everett in the past two weeks.
On Jan. 19, thousands of customers lost power as well.
"It is actually rare to have two outages in downtown Everett in a 10-day period," Neroutsos said.

Following their recent attempts to terrify us into buying a gaming PC with the Aurora R4, Alienware has now come over all friendly and announced the X51, a gaming PC that's hidden in a console-style box. With the ability to stand vertically or lay horizontally, the new X51 could happily sit alongside other gaming machines under your TV too.
Despite a footprint barely larger than an original PS3, the X51 still packs in plenty of tech, and it being an Alienware machine means the internals can be tailored to your preferences. The basic machine uses the Intel Core i3 3.3Ghz processor with 4GB of RAM, a Nvidia GeForce GT545 graphics card and a 1TB hard drive. If you're prepared to spend some money on your X51, you can select a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, up to 8GB RAM, a Blu-ray drive, an SSD and a better graphics card; or choose from 8 different standard builds.
All this is what we've come to expect from Alienware – top-notch, upgradeable specs and a good-looking chassis; but what makes the X51 standout is its entry-level price.
For the Core i3 machine with the basic specs mentioned above, Alienware has attached a $699 price tag, which considering how it looks and the spec it contains, seems very reasonable.
One of the company's senior product consultants told TechRadar.com that he doesn't believe "there is anything close" to the X51 in terms of performance and style at a similar price. It's also good to see Alienware recognizes there are other markets, and not everyone wants high-price, high performance monsters like the Aurora.
The X51 has just shown up on Alienware's website, and orders will begin later today.

Three years before the Maryland Department of Agriculture revised nutrient management regulations a BMP Challenge crop adviser, Don Moore (AET Agricultural Consulting) took the initiative and partnered with American Farmland Trust and Agflex Inc. to work with seven farmers to inject or incorporate manure into the soil. Manure injection or incorporation increases fertilizer efficiency, thus reducing potential nutrient loss from the field three ways. When the manure is below, rather than on top of the soil, nitrogen rich ammonia gas can't escape to the air making more of it available to the plant by as much as 20%. Secondly, the fertilizer is now located several inches closer to the plant roots. Finally, it is far less susceptible to being washed away in heavy spring rains. The potential is for this practice to allow the farmer to reduce the total amount of total fertilizer inputs mainly the chemical type put on mid-season, thus be, saving money and improving water quality.
Since manure incorporation with vertical tillage equipment such as an Aerway or Turbotill is a relatively new practice, the BMP Challenge comparisons were setup to determine whether incorporation would affect yields. In 2012, participants applied the same number of nitrogen credits across the entire field. However, they reduced the amount of commercial fertilizer at sidedress on the manure incorporation acres. The incorporation increased the nitrogen credit to offset the commercial fertilizer reduction. By the third year, the part of the field where manure was applied to the surface at the recommended rate was compared to the rest of the field that used incorporation and a reduced application rate based less ammonia escaping to the air.
Across the three years, incorporation showed an average increase in net returns by $6.00 per acre and a nitrogen reduction of 7 pounds. Over-all the farmers saved more than 8,400 pounds of nitrogen applications. Five of seven participating farmers in the BMP Challenge demonstrations were interviewed last fall regarding their participation. Three have purchased new equipment. One is seriously considering it and the fifth has expanded use of vertical tillage to all his crop acres. According to Moore, "Throughout the entire BMP Challenge process, farmers demonstrated their willingness and eagerness to learn. They want to learn about and adopt new technologies if they make good economic sense. They are not willing to risk yield to experiment. This is where the yield guarantee was important to them. In this world of high commodity prices, and inputs that are equally as high, growers are hesitant to entertain additional risk. No one is interested in over-application of nutrients.
Maryland state law now requires farmers to inject or incorporate manure and other organic nutrient sources into the soil within 48 hours of application. The past three years of work on the Eastern Shore has provided important information to farmers and agricultural advisors as well. The BMP Challenge will be working with an expanded number of growers this year to transition from surface application to manure incorporation.

The Army has dropped sexual assault charges against Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair in exchange for a guilty plea on lesser charges, after his accuser's testimony fell apart and the judge said the Pentagon had unlawfully influenced the case.
Sinclair's defense team Sunday said Fort Bragg Maj. Gen. Clarence Chinn accepted an Offer to Plead that dropped the sexual assault charge, a credit card fraud charge, and a charge Sinclair forced his accuser to stay in a relationship.
According to the deal, Sinclair will plead guilty to adultery and mistreatment of his accuser -- both crimes under the military Uniform Code. Although the specifics of the deal have not been released yet, previous agreements floated had Sinclair avoiding jail time but retiring at a reduced rank in exchange for his guilty plea.
The Army's case against Sinclair began to fall apart when his accuser, a 34-year-old captain who claimed the general had forced her to perform oral sex and threatened to kill her and her family if she revealed their (consensual) affair, gave testimony that contradicted forensic evidence.
After the lead prosecutor began to express doubts about whether they could effectively prove the assault, he resigned, apparently under pressure to push forward from the Pentagon.

Trends in Party Identification in Wisconsin
This week my colleague Ken Goldstein and I conducted a Wisconsin statewide survey sponsored by the UW Department of Political Science and WisPolitics.com. So fair warning that I'm a party to this survey rather than an independent observer.
A number of people have commented on the party identification balance in the survey: 38% Dem, 24% Rep, 29% Independent (37% Independent when "no preference/other" are allocated to independent. When this group is asked how they "lean", very few insist on some other party, so this allocation makes sense.) See Alan Reifman's blog on weighting and party id for a good example and discussion of broader issues of weighting to party id.
I want to point out two things here and put our data in the context of other polls in Wisconsin.
The chart above shows party identification trends since 2000 using data from three sources that have done frequent polling in the state. What we see is a relatively stable Dem/Rep parity from 2000-2004, with Dem ID falling a bit around 2004 while Reps moved up slightly.
Starting in 2005, however, there is an initially slow but then sharper shift in partisanship. Republican ID declines from about 30% to about 24% today, while Dem ID rises from about 30% to nearly 40%. After an initial surge of independents, that group has recently fallen off a bit. (You have to squint a bit to see WPRI and Badger after 2005, but they are close to the trend lines during this period, so the changes are not just a matter of house effects or phone vs ivr methods. WPRI, for example, has Rep ID moving from 33% in 2004 to 28%, 26% and 25% in 2005-2007. Their Dem ID rises from 30%-33%-34% then falls to 29% over the same period. The final 29% is a large discrepancy from the trend, of course.)
We did not weight our survey to party identification, and these trends help explain why we have reservations about doing that. While relatively stable, party id does move over time, and by a fair bit, as you can see here. But that said, our unweighted results turn out to be quite close to the estimated trends in partisan categories in any case.
The second point is to compare these trends with those in exit poll measures of party id. In 2000, the VNS Exit poll put Wisconsin pid at 37% Dem, 32% Rep and 31% Ind. This shifted in 2004 to 35% Dem, 27% Ind and 38% Rep. But in 2006 the exit polls found that the balance was 38% Dem, 34% Rep and 27% Ind. Those values all show a smaller share of independents at the polls on election day compared to the polling trend, but that is to be expected given differences in turnout between partisans and independents. The size of the party ID groups grows as a result, but the balance between them is in line with what we see in the trends in the polls, though certainly not an exact match. The polls, after all, are of either adults or likely voters, while the exits are by definition a measure of who actually showed up on election day.
For 2006, the Dem exit percent and the Dem trend estimate are a close match. Republicans gain in the exits, by about 6 points over the 2006 trend estimate. If that holds for 2008, we might expect an electorate more like 38% Dem and 30% Rep. Of course both parties will have very active "ground games" and GOTV efforts to try to change those numbers.
While I'm certainly happy that our party id balance is so close to the trend in all the other polling, the more important point is that party id in Wisconsin has shifted quite a bit over the past four years. The coming campaign may alter that, possibly bringing disappointed former Republicans back home, for example. Likewise a Republican advantage in turnout could bring the exit polls back to closer balance. But as the data show, today the GOP is at the worst disadvantage the state has seen in over eight years.
Let me conclude with a bit of description of the polls used here.
Wisconsin Policy Research Institute ("WPRI") has done some of the longest running polls in the state, usually two a year. Their data here is taken from their annual estimates, which I assume pool the two surveys though they don't say so explicitly. WPRI describes itself as "Wisconsin's Free Market Think Tank".
The "Badger Poll" is conducted by the UW Survey Center. They did more extensive polling in 2002-04 but now do about two polls a year.
SurveyUSA is a well known national pollster that uses "Interactive Voice Response" (IVR) automated interviews. SurveyUSA has done monthly polling in the state since 2005, providing some of the best data on state trends in approval of elected officials and as a byproduct have an excellent data series of party ID.
Finally, there is our new Department of Political Science/WisPolitics poll. Ours uses a commercial call center, not the UW Survey Center or undergrads in a class calling for a grade. WPRI, Badger and our poll all use live interviewers, SurveyUSA uses IVR. Most of these surveys are in the 500-600 respondent range.

Where to mount
Bearings should be mounted in a dry, dust-free area away from machines producing swarf and dust. When bearings have to be mounted in an unprotected area, steps should be taken to protect the bearing and mounting position from contaminants like dust, dirt and moisture. This can be done by covering or wrapping the bearings and machine components with plastic or foil.

1. Murmurs has already done a lot of math on the WoW forums and specifically looked at Eclipse. You can find it here. The short version her analysis is that Eclipse is bad.
2. I saw this quote:
While I'm sure every class would say this, it's probably no surprise to you that Balance damage was low.
Way too low.We are addressing most of it through base spell damage changes to Wrath, Insect Swarm and especially Starfire. Hopefully that will give you some more talent choices because some of the damage talents will feel more optional (or as optional as more damage ever feels), instead of the bare minimum you need to be close to other casters. (src)
This quote seems to suggest that the bloat is here to stay. If they don't trim the balance tree then it will be impossible to pickup Eclipse, all of the damage increasing talents, and all of the mana regen talents. Something has go give, and we all know how important our mana and damage talent are. A gimmicky talent like eclipse just cant survive.
Blizzard's Faulty Bloat Logic:
It never ceases to amaze me how little blizzard understands it's players and how they play the game. Here is a basic truth about DPS players, DAMAGE TALENTS ARE NOT OPTIONAL. They never have been and never will be.
Increasing the base damage on our spells is great, but does anyone really think that is going to change how players spec?
Players that are serious about raiding are going to min/max there talent build. If a talent increases my DPS then I'm going to pick it up if at all possible. It's not an option because my primary roll is to DPS. If I'm not pushing out as much DPS as I possibly can the I shouldn't be in the raid, even if I'm first on the damage meter.
Optional talents should be situational in nature. Gale Winds is a perfect example of an optional talent. It provides a real benefit that isn't needed all the time. If my raids are short on AoE then it is a great pick up, but I'm not not going to take 2 points out of a talent that boosts my DPS 100% of the time to put them in a talent that I will use infrequently. A real option is do I want more AoE, more survivability, or pushback resistance.
The real kicker to this quote is how it shapes the comparison between Resto Druids and Moonkin. Now that Spell Damage and Healing have been combined into one stat (Spell Power), the differences between the two roll's is almost entirely Talent build.
As it is, a resto druid will be able to pick up many of a moonkin's key DPS talents by putting 31 points in the balance tree. They would still have 40 points to spend in the resto tree. This would result in a toon who's DPS isn't much below a "deep" moonkin's and can significantly out heal said moonkin. The only thing it costs is most of the raid utility, that now can be easily provided by other classes.
/end rant.

Baby Mario characters have been wicked fun to draw. I know a lot of you have been enjoying the latest lessons that I have been uploading, so I wanted to do one more baby figure from the Mario game series. To start, how about we learn "how to draw Baby Yoshi", step by step, and have fun doing so. Now, I have to say, Yoshi's baby version of himself is right up there in cuteness wise with Baby Peach. The two have such an awesome bright colorful display which makes them attractive to the eye. If some of you remember correctly, the Yoshis are born from eggs as displayed in Super Mario World. There were all different kinds of colors for this small dinosaur like beings like red, yellow, green, blue, black, pink, white, and there is some other colors I'm forgetting I just know it. Anyways, this baby form of Yoshi is going to be super simple to draw, and if you want you can color him/her in any shade you like. Yoshi is by far one of the most popular figures in the Mario Bros. game series. I have always liked riding a Yoshi, and whenever I got the chance, I would steal my brothers Yoshi if I lost my own. You will have a blast learning "how to draw Baby Yoshi", step by step, and when you are done you can put all the baby Mario characters together on one sheet of paper to have yourself a full family. Have fun guys, and thanks for viewing this tutorial.
