The race has been awesome thus far. Instead of IFMAR style qualifying the pro racers compete heads up. The top four from the round of heats advance to the main event. In each semi the top three and advance. And in the LCQ or last chance qualifier all of the remaining pros are grouped together for two final spots. It is so much more exciting to watch the pros compete heads up for short sprint races. Most of the pro drivers I've talked to rather compete heads up instead of spending a few days qualifying.
As always the NitroPit track is awesome. The traction is up, the jumps are HUGE, and there are a number of lines throughout the track. It's hot too, been over 100-degrees.
Speed World (actual facility where the Nitro Pit is located) is also hosting a Lucas Oil Off-Road Race simultaneously. Team Associated brought over several of the top pros including Carl Renezeder, Robert "Fig" Naughton, and Travis Coyne to compete in a celebrity RC race. They were totally having fun with the Associated RC8Ts. I will try and get some video footage of them racing up in the video player.
I'll post more video after the main events. Thanks for watching.

London To Edinburgh In High Gear
It's surprising how many people are up and about at 6.30 on a rainy Sunday morning in London. In fact, most of them seem to have been up and about for rather a long time. Girls are straggling home from nightclubs in twos and threes, their glad-rags now looking tawdry in the cold light of dawn. On a street corner, a group of young men are squaring up for a fight, quite possibly over one of those same girls.
We observe this Hogarthian portrait of modern London from the whispering wraith of a 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, which slides past virtually un-noticed on the wet tarmac. On this September Sunday morning, members of the 20-Ghost Club are attempting to recreate a very special achievement in Rolls-Royce history: the day almost exactly 100 years ago when a 48.6hp Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was driven from the centre of London to the middle of Edinburgh using top gear only. Surely a feat that would be impossible now – or would it?
It's the night before the beginning of the Top Gear Centenary Trial, as it has been dubbed, and the crews of 14 Ghosts have assembled in the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, for a pre-run briefing by organiser Nick Naismith. Nick, his wife Jo and club historian Tim Forrest have gone to enormous lengths – literally – to research the route that Rolls-Royce chassis 1701 would have travelled back in 1911. Tomorrow we will head out of London and strike north while most of the country is still a-bed. Passing through many of the towns that 1701 would have visited (rather than simply using the modern A1), we will overnight in Yorkshire, and arrive triumphantly in Edinburgh the following afternoon. That, at least, is the plan.
In fact, there are 15 Ghost crews gathered together in the RAC's Club Room, but only 14 Ghosts parked up in nearby St James's Square. Ashley Carmichael and Richard Spray had to jump ship soon after leaving home, when Ashley's 1920 Ghost ran a bearing. Determined to stay with the event, they have hot-footed it down to London in Ashley's modern Jaguar. It's a reminder that the very youngest of these cars is now nearly 90 years old, and we're about to subject them to a test that was considered a real achievement a full century ago, when traffic was negligible and roads uncongested.
Next morning, at a few minutes before 6am, a line of Ghosts sparkles under the streetlights outside the RAC, ready to be flagged away by Rolls-Royce's Andrew Ball. The company has been hugely supportive of the 2011 Trial and has lent Octane a new Ghost in which to follow it. But I'm keen to sample as much of the Trial as I can from the exposed reality of an original Ghost, and Nick and Jo Naismith are only too willing to oblige; Jo kindly gives up her place in their 1911 car and slips behind the wheel of its 2011 counterpart. She seems quite happy to stretch out in its ultra-luxurious interior, heater on and radio murmuring softly… Funny, that.
Most, but not all, of the 14 cars on the Trial will be attempting it in top gear alone. To discourage, ahem, inadvertent selection of a lower ratio, vintage Rolls-Royce specialists P&A Wood – who will be accompanying the Trial with their support lorry, en famille – have crafted beautiful little brass plates that are wired into the open gearchange gates to block off the redundant slots. In an emergency, these blanking plates can be dislodged to allow a lower gear to be grabbed, for no-one is quite sure what will happen if, say, a car has to restart in top on a hill.
The wisdom of this is proven within a mile of the start, when the 1912 Ghost of visiting American enthusiasts William E 'Chip' Connor and Bruce Meyer is caught out by the traffic lights on the way up St James Street. Chip decides discretion is the better part of valour, and takes the low-gear option. One down, 13 to go.
Meanwhile, Nick and I are running somewhere at the front of the pack, second-guessing when the lights will change and slowing to a dead crawl well beforehand if they're against us. Occasionally we'll be unlucky and will have to stop on an upward gradient, but as long as it's a fairly easy one the car seems able to cope. We get a whiff of hot lining from time to time, but the Ghost is performing magnificently, lugging its considerable bulk away from rest with the dogged determination – and the leisurely pace – of an ox pulling a plough.
There are surprisingly few steep hills on the route between London and Edinburgh, but one of them is in North London: the Archway Road, which climbs through a cutting dug in 1812 to help stagecoaches surmount the 400ft-high Highgate Hill. Nick is worried that if we get baulked by a light-controlled crossing here, we won't be able to restart. But there's no-one around at this time in the morning to perversely push any crossing buttons, and we crest the hill with ease.
By 8.30am, despite dire weather forecasts of high winds and driving rain brought in on the coat-tails of Hurricane Katia, the morning has turned glorious, with bright autumnal sunshine backlighting the trees as our convoy of Ghosts hums along at 40mph or so on the old Great North Road to Potters Bar. That's not fast enough, it seems: word filters through from certain crews behind us that we're going too slowly for comfort, and could we please get a move on? So we up the speed to 50-plus, which is a Ghost's natural cruising gait. On anything less than a dead straight road, that's as fast as you want to go; Rolls-Royce was a late adopter of front-wheel brakes, and the speed you drive a Ghost almost entirely depends on how much anticipation you have in hand. There's a foot-operated transmission brake, and an outside lever for the brakes on the rear wheels, but however much braking effort you exert, it's still being transmitted to the road surface through two tire contact patches approximately the size of a 1950s motorbike's.
In the light of this, it's all the more generous of Nick that he invites me to take the wheel of chassis 1606, somewhere south of Welwyn Garden City. Idling away in a lay-by, its 7.5-litre straight-six is almost inaudible. That's no surprise, but what is unexpected is how progressive and gentle the clutch is. 'Give it quite a few revs and slip the clutch a bit,' instructs Nick, and soon we're easing away without any drama. In top gear, from rest.
Without any gearchanging to worry about, all I need to do is steer the car and make sure I slow down enough for corners and roundabouts. The former is a piece of cake, thanks to beautifully accurate steering with hardly any 'slop' about the straightahead. You don't need to let the wheel float in your hands, as with many vintage cars. Technique for the latter is to add a bit of retardation with the handbrake lever and keep the transmission brake in reserve for when you really need it – when, say, a modern car darts onto a roundabout just in front of you. Then you'll need both hands on the tiller, for the steering that is so light at speed on the open road really loads up in a tight corner. But the car is not at all difficult if you drive it appropriately.
Having stopped for morning coffee at The Bell in Stilton, Cambridgeshire – the very pub where Octane was founded – our lunch halt is at another bell, Ye Olde Bell Inn, at Barnby Moor, north-west of Retford in Nottinghamshire. It's a proper old 17th-century coaching inn, with more recent historical links to the road's colorful past, having been the only British control point for the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally. The soon-to-be Queen Victoria stayed here in 1835, and it was used as a location for the film of JB Priestley's The Good Companions in 1932. That's what you call a varied history.
For the afternoon leg of the journey, Sir Michael Kadoorie – chairman of the Peninsula Hotel Group, which rather stylishly uses Rolls-Royce Phantoms to ferry its guests about; Sir Michael has just ordered another 14 of them – invites me to ride in his gorgeous 1912 Ghost, one of just five surviving underslung-chassised cars. Delivered new to India, it spent most of its life in Australia and now wears a replica of its original Holmes body, beautifully restored and detailed by P&A Wood.
Sir Michael is fastidious about getting things just right and tells me how he spent ages trying to find the shade of brown leather he wanted for the car's interior: 'I was having dinner with an old friend in Hong Kong and noticed that his shoes were the perfect colour! So I persuaded him to take one off and lend it to me. He had to walk shoeless across the lobby of the Peninsula…'
Sir Michael's Ghost is acknowledged to be one of the sweetest and fastest-running cars on the Trial, easily capable of 70-80mph, as his portable sat-nav (standard equipment on a 1912 Ghost, of course…) proves. We reach our overnight stop in Yorkshire with hours of daylight to spare, and arrive stirred but not shaken. It occurs to me, not for the first time, that in a Ghost you could easily cover the whole London-Edinburgh route in a day. Sticking to the original roads. In top gear.
Mindful that I need to shoot some pictures, I hop into the modern Ghost in the morning, in the company of Ashley Carmichael (of Carmichael fire tender and Range Rover conversion fame). I fell in love with a similar car that I drove out to Italy for the Villa d'Este Concours in May (Octane issue 99), and I'm keen to see if Ashley is as impressed – he's never driven a new Ghost, but did consider buying a Phantom recently. As I suspected, he too comes to love the Ghost, not least for its effortless and quite staggering performance. At one point we give chase to a modern Alfa GT, which is obviously surprised to see the Peterbilt-like Rolls front end filling his rear-view mirror as he embarks on a rapid overtake. Great fun.
I can't claim to be a proper old car person if I'm swanning around in a modern car all day, however, so Nick Naismith welcomes me back into chassis 1606 for the long last stage into Edinburgh. We've broken the journey at Alnwick in Northumberland, lunching in the White Swan Hotel on the High Street – a place well worth visiting just to see a dining room that's outfitted with wood panelling and windows from the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic. They were bought by the hotel when the Olympic was scrapped in 1937; and when James Cameron's Titanic film was being made, the set-makers came to measure it up.
The weather is still sunny as we rumble out of Alnwick, but those crew members in touch with modern communication devices have heard dire warnings about changes to come. And, sure enough, as we join the modern A1 for the final stretch into Edinburgh, the dot-matrix signs are displaying messages warning of heavy rain and severe gales. For once, they're not lying. The wind starts gusting in at 90 degrees to the car, making a mockery of the windscreen's minimal protection. High-sided lorries are running with their side screens open for safety, and caravans are snaking dangerously behind their tow cars. I've never been in a car before where opposite lock is needed to keep it running in a straight line.
But through the sturm und drang, the Ghost holds its course, surprisingly unaffected by the gales that batter it. On a downhill stretch, Nick yells that the speedometer has just touched 65mph. I have gained such a lot of respect for this car. It's a full century old and we've shown it no mercy, yet it just keeps running, without complaint. It is a wonderful machine.
The rain is still falling as 14 Ghosts line up in the car park behind Holyrood House in Edinburgh, below the looming mass of Arthur's Seat. But nothing can dampen the sense of achievement: every car has made it without a significant problem, and seven of them have driven the entire route in top gear. Jo Naismith passes round paper cups of Champagne, transported in the new Ghost from the local Sainsbury's (I'll later drive the car to our hotel, the front seat and footwell awash with empty Champagne bottles, which must provide adjacent bus passengers with a memorable image). Tomorrow the Ghosts will set off south again, heading for Goodwood and the Revival meeting – and this time they'll have a full complement of gears available. Not that they really need them, of course.

The original 1911 trial...
Rolls-Royce's decision to stage its London to Edinburgh Trial in 1911 was a response to Napier's success on a similar exploit the previous year. In June 1910, SF Edge had driven a new 65hp Napier, The Silver Bullet, to Edinburgh and back in top gear only, at an average fuel consumption of 19.35mpg. It was then taken to Brooklands, where it recorded 76.042mph over the flying half-mile.
These were the benchmarks Rolls-Royce had to beat, with a less powerful car. To manage it they knew they'd have to tweak the Ghost engine to give it enough torque to pull away from rest in top gear, yet also sufficient power to go on to a top speed of 80mph. A new chassis, no 1701, was fitted with an improved engine featuring a new crankshaft damper, a bigger-bore inlet manifold and a higher compression ratio, which raised power from a standard car's 45bhp to 58bhp, and during 6-13 September 1911 the car was driven from London to Edinburgh and back in top gear. It consumed petrol at a rate of 24.32mpg, and at Brooklands it achieved a maximum speed of 78.26mph. Job done.
The astonishingly good fuel economy remains an enigma, because today's Ghost owners rarely escape the low teens of mpg – indeed, on the 2011 Trial, the best recorded figure was 14.57mpg. The 1911 figure may have been helped by the UK's national speed limit at the time of 20mph; 1701's average speed was stated to be 19.59mph overall, which sounds very convenient!
This wasn't the end of 1701's triumphs, however, for after a considerable number of mechanical changes had been made, and a new semi-streamlined body fitted, it went on to record 101.816mph over the flying half-mile at Brooklands on 14 November 1911. In so doing it became the first Rolls-Royce to top 100mph.
Amazingly, this famous car was discovered as a battered, derelict chassis on a Hampshire farm in 1963. It is now restored to its 1911 London to Edinburgh specification, and took part in the 2011 Trial.

Prosecutor: No Charges Against FSU Quarterback Jameis Winston
Florida State University quarterback Jameis Winston, considered a Heisman Trophy front-runner, will not be charged with rape, the state attorney, Willie Meggs, announced Thursday after an investigation into the allegations.
Freshman Winston, who led his team to the national polls, has been facing allegations that he assaulted a female FSU student in December 2012, prior to his college career.
Winston's attorney, Tim Jansen of Tallahassee, has contended that his client had consensual sex with the woman.
On Thursday, Meggs, who is the state attorney for the Second Judicial Circuit, said prosecutors did not feel they had enough to make a case against Winston.
"We've carefully examined all the evidence in this case and have concluded that no charges will be brought against anyone in this case," he said.
The Associated Press writes:
"The alleged assault occurred nearly a year ago, but it wasn't until last month that Tallahassee police turned over information about the case to prosecutors."
"Meggs said Wednesday his office had 'exhausted all investigative tools' since the case was handed over in mid-November."
After Meggs' office took over the case, investigators took DNA from Winston, interviewed the victim and looked at other evidence, the AP says.
"Search warrants in the case were released before Meggs' announcement and indicate the woman told police she was raped at an apartment after a night of drinking at a bar. In the warrant, the accuser says she and friends had shots at Potbellys and her 'memory is very broken from that point forward.' "
"Meggs said that toxicology reports show the accuser had a blood alcohol level of 0.04 and that there was no evidence of drugs, including what are commonly referred to as date rape drugs."
"According to the warrants, the accuser says she remembers being in a cab with a man and going into an apartment before she was raped."
"After that, she remembers the suspect dressing her, putting her on a scooter and dropping her off at an intersection, but she had no idea where the alleged rape occurred."

We understand that when you've just bought your perfect pair of Stop & Stare tattoo hosiery, you'll want it to look its best for as long as possible. Tested to last 9 full days of wear in heels and 2 weeks in flats, our items still are delicate and unique, so please follow our guide on how to look after all those beautiful garments to make them last longer and look fabulous.
- Before taking your hosiery out of the package, check your hands and feet for rough skin and sharp nails.
- Use of thin cotton gloves especially designed for putting on hosiery or applying a bit of lotion to your hands and feet will decrease the risk of snagging your garment.
- Remove any rings, watches and other jewellery before putting on your hosiery.
- Take your time: sheer garments are delicate items that need to be treated with care.
- While sitting, gather the item down at your toes (figure 1).
- Slip one foot into your garment and carefully stretch the length of the fabric with both hands up to your ankle and then over your knee (figure 2).
- Repeat with the other leg in the same manner, aligning the tattoo design as you go along (figure 3).
- Stand up and roll the garment with both hands over the thighs and hips (figure 4) and keep stretching it until the waistband is in place.
- If the item does not come up to the top of your legs properly, do not pull it: simply roll it back down to your ankles and gently stretch them over your legs once again, stopping and adjusting if you feel them pulling awkwardly.
- Gently pull away the fabric at the toe part of each foot: this will decrease the pressure on the delicate material in this area (figure 5).
- Now it's your moment of glory: "People will stare - make it worth their while!" (Harry Winston)
Taking off
- Simply do the reverse of putting them on: start at the waist and slowly roll the garment down.
- Don't pull from the toe as this creates unnecessary stress on the fabric and makes it more susceptible to snags and ladders.
- Keep your hosiery separate from all other clothes: this will prevent buttons, buckles and zippers from catching on hosiery and causing snags and holes.
- Take care not to allow perfumes, scents and other toiletries to come into contact with delicate fabrics: let them dry completely before putting on your fine hosiery.
- Stop & Stare tattoo hosiery must always be hand-washed: rinse it gently in lukewarm soapy water (30°C) without rubbing or wringing the printed area.
- Hang your garments to drip dry or place between two towels to dry flat. Always dry away from direct heat and never iron.
- When putting on your hold-ups, turn the top band over so it is not touching the skin until it has reached the desired position (usually mid-thigh for maximum comfort and fit).
- Please note that body lotions, creams, oils and talcum powder may affect the performance of the silicone bands on your hold-ups and they could slip out of position – we, therefore, do not recommend applying them on the section of your thighs where the silicone bands adhere to your skin.
- Similarly, the use of fabric conditioners is not recommended when washing your hold-ups.

Pineapple Pork Al Pastor - A Very Americanized Version of a Mexican Recipe Invented by the Lebanese
It's a huge stack of thinly sliced pork, marinated in chili, pineapple juice, and other secret ingredients, piled up on a vertical spit and cooked rotisserie-style. The tender, aromatic meat is then sliced off and served on tortillas, usually with onions, cilantro, and a little hot sauce. It's too good to describe.This pork recipe is NOT a true al pastor (fyi: shepherd-style), but simply a nice, easy marinade using some of the same ingredients to fairly delicious results. The main ingredient is the pineapple juice, which not only gives the meat a great flavor, but also has enzymes that makes it very tender.Of course, I decided to use some pork tenderloin I had, which sort of defeats the purpose, but this marinade really pays dividends when using the much cheaper, and more traditional pork shoulder.One of the key spices is cinnamon, which is no surprise since the origins of this recipe trace back to Lebanese immigrants living in Mexico City, where they were clearly showing off their shawarma-rich heritage. Lamb shawarma is a similar preparation, and you can watch me do a faux-version of that here.This is one of those recipe that I just happened to have the camera on as I cooked. I didn't measure things, I forgot to film the cinnamon addition, and never even added cumin, another traditional spice. Nevertheless, it was wonderfully tender and tasty, and I'm happy to share it with you, flaws and all. Enjoy!
Note: Vimeo is still having sound issues, sorry.

Wish you had done this video 2 weeks ago. I just came back from central Mexico and would have tried it. Most of their tacos are different than we're used to, I'd have liked to seen what theirs were like compared to yours. Oh well, there's always next year's festival.
I did come back with 2kg of dried anchos, 1/2kg of cascabelle, and 1/2kg of another dried chile that I only understood as "very hot". I'll be making chili powder again soon, yay!

Hey! You found the same tortillas! I posted about them a while back too, they're really good for a low-carb wrap! And they come in all different flavors at my local store.
I feel so... vindicated(!) for liking these wraps now that i know you do to! :)
And this pork looks UBER-yummy!
You're a huge inspiration Chef John! I get so many good ideas and great recipes from you. You are the reason my fiance loves me as much as he does! LOL

Chef John,
Bravo for the cabbage! It really does make better tacos.
Al pastor marinade usually includes achiote or annatto for color, a pinch of clove and it's cooked down into a paste before using. An extra step, but it's worth it.
I'm wondering why you use tenderloin because it's already so tender. How about shoulder steaks instead?
Any chance you could do a video for posole rojo? It's one of my faves.
Keep up the fine work!

Now that you've posted the extra picture I did have them while I was down there at a street vendor. They were delicious. The cutter was very skilled and put on a show while preparing this. He placed the small tortillas on the side of the meat, then sliced quickly. As he pulled the tortilla and meat away, he reached up to a pineapple on the top of the meat and flung a slice of pineapple into the air catching it with the tortilla. They were quite tasty. I'll be trying these soon.
- March 12, 2009 at 9:16 AM
- Chef John said...
well, I kind of covered that in the post - I had tenderloin on hand and was just cooking, not necessarily making a recipe video, and I admitted the shoulder is what should be used. Same for the other ingredients, it was just a quick recipe I wanted to get in the fridge, so I didn't bother with any authenticity concerns. But, thanks for the tips!
Pyro, it's funny, I've never seen it served with the actual pineapple here in SF, only with the diced onion and cilantro.

Chef, sorry to disappoint you but there is absolutely no enzyme tenderzing action with the canned or pasteurized pineapple juice - the enzyme (bromelain) dies by heating. Which is just as well since the enzyme tenderized meat has unpleasant mushy texture and inferior flavor.
You can tell the presence of bromelain in fresh pineapple - your lips will tingle and your taste buds get all screwed up for the rest of the afternoon - but you don't have that problem with canned pineaple/

Another Chef John winner!
I decided to make this verbatim, including the pieces of jalapeno in the tacos themselves. We don't have that brand of tortilla, but I got a reasonable facsimile. I am not a big fan of the cabbage, but I was glad it was in there because there was some left over after making coleslaw earlier in the week.
The jalapenos were a little much. Salsa would've been plenty.
I loved the aromatics on this dish and will make again, probably with cabbage if I have it on hand.
PS: Did you really ask for the recipe and they refused? Or were you just tweaking us again?

Im making this one a million years later after managing to finally find dried chiles. Today i just did the marinade, I almost started crying :p
- April 19, 2010 at 3:00 PM
I'm just blending my marinade now; I didn't want to leave the house for anything so I decided to use sambal oelek (yum) chili paste. I was worried I wouldn't get the same vivid redness of yours so I added fresh red pepper to the mix. I thought about roasting the pepper first so it wouldn't rot but I think it will work just fine this way. I actually prefer fresh red pepper over roasted anyways.
Also, instead of straight pineapple juice, I am using pineapple+guava+passion fruit juice that I happened to have in the house.
Two more differences; I'm using one large clove of elephant garlic and apple cider vinegar.
hope it turns out well.
Thanks for the base recipe Chef John.
- November 26, 2010 at 9:47 PM
Hi chef.
Nice one! We don't have much of a mexican-eating culture over here. So it was a nice recipie to try for a change. The pineapple combines great with the leaner pork meat. You made me fire up the charcoalgrill midst the snow. Quite the experience... I'm stating love you Canadian cooks.
Greetings fom Belgium.

how much of the chili powder do u put instead of the dried chilies
- January 6, 2011 at 10:53 PM

I am looking for a recipe like this but I was wondering if I could after marinade, just put in a dutch oven and braise this dish with the marinade. Thinking at 325 for 30-40 minutes. Would that be OK?
- February 10, 2011 at 5:55 PM
- Glamur said...
Very tasty recipe
- May 26, 2011 at 2:16 PM
When you soak the chilies in hot water, do you lose a negligible amount of flavor from the chilies? I notice it makes almost a chili tea-like liquid.
- October 5, 2012 at 12:42 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, I'm sure you lose some flavor, but there's plenty left.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Wes Welker swears he doesn't dwell on his costly drop in the Super Bowl two years ago that could have sealed New England's win over the New York Giants and made up for losing to them four years earlier.
"You know what? I don't even think about it," Welker said as he prepared for his third Super Bowl, his first with the Denver Broncos. "The past is the past, what happened, happened, and I'm just looking forward to this one and going out there and playing my best game and doing what I can to help my team win."
Welker said getting to the big game and coming up short two times is what drives him.
"I think it's the reason I get up in the morning in the offseason and even now," he said after helping the Broncos beat his old team for the AFC title, securing a showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.
Welker tied a Super Bowl record with 11 receptions for 103 yards six years ago but the Patriots' perfect season ended when Eli Manning threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left to give the Giants a 17-14 win.
The teams met again four years later in Indianapolis and Welker caught seven passes for 60 yards and ran twice for 21 more, but it was the catch he didn't make that haunts Patriots fans to this day.
The Patriots led 17-15 with four minutes left and were on the Giants' 44 when Tom Brady found Welker wide open 23 yards downfield. The pass, however, was high and slightly behind Welker, who got both hands on the ball but couldn't make the catch.
The Giants got the ball back and drove for the winning touchdown.
"Sure, I mean it motivates you during the offseason. It motivates you when you're working out, it motivates you through the year," Welker said. "Just that feeling of losing that game, I mean it's heartbreaking. It takes a few weeks just to get over it. It definitely sticks with you and motivates you for the future and definitely blessed to have this opportunity again."
Welker joined Peyton Manning in Denver in the offseason after six seasons with Brady and was Denver's leading receiver until missing the final 3½ games after sustaining his second concussion in a three-week span. He still ended up with 778 yards on 73 catches and a career-high 10 touchdowns. Wearing a bigger helmet to protect against further head injury, he's caught 10 passes for 76 yards and a TD in the playoffs.
He had four catches for 38 yards against New England in the AFC Championship and his hard hit took out Patriots top cornerback Aqib Talib on a pick play at the line of scrimmage. The next day, Patriots coach Bill Belichick suggested Welker deliberately tried to hurt Talib and complained to the league about it.
The NFL said no infraction had occurred.
Welker's teammates said Belichick was just using Welker as a smoke screen and a scapegoat to hide deficiencies in his team's defense and the fact that Welker's replacement in New England, Danny Amendola, dropped the only pass thrown to him in the title game.
Welker stayed above the fray, saying he was just happy to be back in the Super Bowl.
"I'm very blessed to have this opportunity again and that's all you really ask for," he said. "It's all you work for during the offseason is to get to this point and now you just want to finish it."

"Manna was thought of as being produced miraculously (IE: birth without seed). This is a perfect botanical description of a mushroom. Birth without seed (miraculous) is due to spores being microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. Jesus describes the Mannas in detail in the book of John. In this story Jesus attempts to make clear; of manna, there are two different ones/kinds. He describes the manna that he is giving the disciples (last supper) as the Manna that bestows immortality. His statement, unless you have eaten his flesh/body (Soma/Manna), and drink of his blood (Soma Juice), you have no life in you, takes on a whole new meaning in light of this discovery. The Manna is directly associated with the fruit of the Tree of Life in the 2nd chapter of the book of Revelation. It is the reward for those who overcome (the lies of the world). The 'Fruit of the Tree', the 'Hidden Manna' and the 'Small White Stone' are spoken of separately, but in the same context. All of these are symbols for the Amanita muscaria." -James Arthur, "Mushrooms and Mankind" (16-17)
Jesus isoften depicted holding up a white flag with a red cross on it, the symbol of the Knights Templar/Masons. Do the red and white flag of Jesus and clothing of the Knights Templar refer to the amanita muscaria?

WEST, Texas — Finally with a firm body count, the Central Texas town torn and bruised by a crater-making fertilizer plant explosion shifted toward recovery.
Many among West's 2,800 residents felt stuck. Unable to direct their full energies to recovery while the investigation into what caused Wednesday's explosion at West Fertilizer Co. began in earnest, the displaced and mourning made do with what remained in their control.
Bill Killough, 76, paced the lobby of a local hotel Friday, planning how to make the most of whatever time authorities grant him to visit his house 2 ½ blocks from the site.
"Once they get through totally going over that fertilizer plant that blew up and they are satisfied that it is no danger to anybody, there is no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to go back to our houses," said Killough, who used to restore classic cars.
Killough said his handyman could help him grab his guns, wrapping the rifles in blankets while he focused on his wife's list of items, mostly documents that will be important in the recovery stage.
He briefly was able to sneak back in shortly after the blast and said the damage was bad, but not much worse than when they stripped it back to its frame to renovate a couple years ago. The blast ripped homes, schools and a nursing home within a four- to five-block radius, injuring more than 200.
Killough had talked to a contractor who promised he would be first on his list, but he fretted about how hard it will be to get materials, especially windows, in a town with so many blown out.
The fertilizer facility stores and distributes anhydrous ammonia, a fertilizer that can be injected into soil. It also mixes other fertilizers.
Plant owner Donald Adair released a statement saying he never would forget the "selfless sacrifice of first-responders who died trying to protect all of us."
One of the plant employees also was killed responding to the fire, Adair said.
Federal investigators and the state fire marshal's office began inspecting the blast site Friday to collect evidence that may point to a cause. Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said investigators still were combing through debris and would continue Saturday.
Residents cannot return to their homes until investigators are finished, Perot said. She did not have a timetable on when that might be.
Perry said the "search and rescue phase is now complete" and the "recovery side" had begun.
Asked if additional oversight was needed for fertilizer plants, Perry said "those are legitimate, appropriate questions for us to be asking."
"If there's a better way to do this, we want to know about it," he said.
There is only one funeral home in West and like much of the town Aderhold Funeral Home hasn't been operating under full power since Wednesday.
Even fully staffed, 14 funerals would overwhelm the staff, but on top of that it's down a funeral director.
Brothers Robert and Larry Payne share that responsibility. But Robert Payne, who as a volunteer firefighter was on the scene when the explosion occurred, remains in intensive care.
The state and national associations are organizing other funeral homes that have offered to supply staff and vehicles once services are arranged for the dead.
That hadn't started yet though. Robbie Bates, president elect of the National Funeral Directors Association, said that the medical examiner's office had not yet released the bodies to the families.
Bates said Aderhold was doing all it could to assist families in the midst of dealing with its own travails.
"They don't intend to charge the families," Bates said.

By Ian Dobson & Jim Hietala, The Open Group
These days, organizations are rarely self-contained. Businesses collaborate through partnerships and close links with suppliers and customers. Outsourcing services and business processes, including into Cloud Computing, means that key operations that an organization depends on are often fulfilled outside their control.
The challenge here is how to manage the dependencies your operations have on factors that are outside your control. The goal is to perform your risk management so it optimizes your operational success through being resilient against external dependencies.
The Open Group's Dependency Modeling (O-DM) standard specifies how to construct a dependency model to manage risk and build trust over organizational dependencies between enterprises – and between operational divisions within a large organization. The standard involves constructing a model of the operations necessary for an organization's success, including the dependencies that can affect each operation. Then, applying quantitative risk sensitivities to each dependency reveals those operations that have highest exposure to risk of not being successful, informing business decision-makers where investment in reducing their organization's exposure to external risks will result in best return.
O-DM helps you to plan for success through operational resilience, assured business continuity, and effective new controls and contingencies, enabling you to:
- Cut costs without losing capability
- Make the most of tight budgets
- Build a resilient supply chain
- Lead programs and projects to success
- Measure, understand and manage risk from outsourcing relationships and supply chains
- Deliver complex event analysis
The O-DM analytical process facilitates organizational agility by allowing you to easily adjust and evolve your organization's operations model, and produces rapid results to illustrate how reducing the sensitivity of your dependencies improves your operational resilience. O-DM also allows you to drill as deep as you need to go to reveal your organization's operational dependencies.
O-DM support training on the development of operational dependency models conforming to this standard is available, as are software computation tools to automate speedy delivery of actionable results in graphic formats to facilitate informed business decision-making.
The O-DM standard represents a significant addition to our existing Open Group Risk Management publications:
- Risk Taxonomy standard
- Guide to Requirements for Risk Assessment Methodologies
- Guide: Cookbook for Using the Risk Taxonomy standard with ISO/IEC 27005
The O-DM standard may be accessed here.
Ian Dobson is the director of the Security Forum and the Jericho Forum for The Open Group, coordinating and facilitating the members to achieve their goals in our challenging information security world. In the Security Forum, his focus is on supporting development of open standards and guides on security architectures and management of risk and security, while in the Jericho Forum he works with members to anticipate the requirements for the security solutions we will need in future.
Jim Hietala, CISSP, GSEC, is the Vice President, Security for The Open Group, where he manages all IT security and risk management programs and standards activities.

Percent Of Detainees Who Return To Terrorism After Release Edges Up
Almost 28 percent of the detainees transferred out of the U.S.-run detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have either returned to terrorism or are suspected of having done so, the Director of National Intelligence says in a new report.
That's almost a full percentage point higher than last year's figure and is in line with evidence that indicates the number of detainees suspected or confirmed of embracing terrorism has been steadily increasing since 2010.
According to the DNI's figures, 168 of the 602 detainees released from Guantanamo are either confirmed to have "reengaged in terrorism" or are "suspected of reengaging."
Confirmed cases are those in which a "preponderance of information" identifies a specific former detainee as having been directly involved in terrorist or insurgent activities. Suspected cases cover those where there is "plausible but unverified or single-source reporting" that indicates a former Guantanamo detainee is involved in those activities.
Engaging in anti-American statements or propaganda doesn't qualify as that kind of activity.
In its report, the DNI states that:
"Based on trends identified during the past 10 years, we assess that if additional detainees are transferred without conditions from GTMO, some will reengage in terrorist or insurgent activities. Transfers to countries with ongoing conflicts and internal instability as well as active recruitment by insurgent and terrorist organizations pose a particular problem."
The leadership of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, al-Qaida's arm in Yemen, reads like a who's who of former GITMO detainees. The brother of the group's leader was a detainee; as was one of the group's second in command, its operations chief, and its top theologian.
The report is also here. Click on the title — "Reengagement of Detainees" — to pop up a larger version.

Case 35 never ends, yet now comes ...
Case 36: Baso's Illness
We all get sick, and judge (quite natural and reasonable for us to do so, mind you) that healthy is better than sick. After all, healthy is a lot more pleasant than sick!
Some live long and some live short, and we judge (as seems right to do for most lives) that long is better than short.
On another thread today, we discussed how "small" seems less important than "big".
We think Buddha is better than "sentient beings", and "common" and "holy" are apart.
But are these the only ways to experience things? What if we drop judgments like "better, worse or equal" ... and just flow? Beyond and right through "better worse or equal". You would be quite wrong if you believe that the result of doing so is just some neutral "stiff upper lip" gray resignation or hopelessness.
Sun faced Buddha lives for thousands of years, Moon faced Buddha for but a day ... yet all Buddha, beyond birth and death. When sick Buddha, just be sick Buddha ... cough cough cough, moan moan moan Buddha.
Even in the hard and unpleasant time, be simultaneously like a clear mirror which welcomes all reflected within ... big and small, beautiful and ugly. The mirror holds the star light and tiny firefly light, gun powder flash and incense light ... all of such.
And though it is so ... we see the doctor, watch our health, and take the cures we can!
Question: We have a lot of folks in this Sangha who have faced times of serious illness and the like. Has this Practice somehow allowed you to be in such times differently than you might otherwise before you walking this Practice? Please tell us.
Gassho, J

The Plati partner (affiliate) program
The principle behind the program is very simple: a partner publishes our ads (for instance, a link to a particular product) on his website. If a visitor clicks the link and purchases the product within one month from the date of click-through, a percent of the order value is paid to the partner.
Plati uses a pay-per-sale model. The amount of partners' commission is set by the seller of the product. There is no minimum payout threshold – a partner can request the withdrawal of any amount accumulated on his account.
ur partner program has been working for over 10 years and the number of registered users is nearing 300,000. We fully realize the financial transparency is the foundation of the program's success, and the driving force behind revenue growth. That is why we pay for conversions (sales) only to rule out the possibility of disputes that often take place in case of payments for click-throughs or ad displays.
If you are interested in becoming a partner, please register. We will immediately provide access to a number of tools and you will be able to pick the ones that work best for you and your site:
- Links to store pages and products
You publish links to our products or pages on your website or the wall of your social network. These links contain your unique partner identifier. When a user clicks a link and lands on the target page, the identifier is saved on the user's computer for 10 days as a cookie. That is how you will get a commission from every purchase made by this user within a month. If the user revisits our site using your referral link, the lifetime of the original cookie is extended accordingly.
- Search form
Our flexible settings allow you to fully customize the appearance of the search form, including its size, colors and overall design.
If you have any questions the answers to which are not on this page, please feel free to ask them right now.

Romantic Circles is pleased to announce a new special issue of Romantic Circles Pedagogies Commons, "Translation Theory Pedagogical Practice: Teaching Romantic Translation(s)," edited and introduced by C.C. Wharram, with essays by Aishah Alshatti, Daniel DeWispelare, Gillian Dow,Lesa Scholl, Valerie Henitiuk, and C.C. Wharram:
In recent years, we have witnessed the rapid migration of the field of translation studies from a position as "a backwater of the university" in the 1990s—to cite Lawrence Venuti's oft-quoted complaint—to being a central object of scholarly inquiry in literary and cultural studies and beyond. Even as numerous conferences, symposia, and institutes are organized around the topic of translation, course readings in English literature have not yet come to reflect the same transformative impulse. In diverse ways, the scholars collected in this volume make compelling cases for expanding the repertoire of texts worthy of study in English classrooms to include translations, addressing texts by a wide range of authors and translators including Lord Byron, J. W. von Goethe, S.T. Coleridge, P.C. de Laclos, George Eliot, Sei Shônagon, and Germaine de Staël.
You can find the volume here.
