Welcome to the Kumoricon Forums! Remember: Have fun! – Forum code of conduct.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Jamiche - If elected again, this will be your fifth year as the programming director. Do you have any plans to have someone replace you at some point?
1. I do what's necessary to get things done. If that involves a bit of emotion so be it. I find the way society views bursts of emotion as negatives to be rather disgraceful, considering that we prize *feeling* things. To bottle it up is simply unhealthy.
2. To me, programming oversees just that, the programming. The events. However, as I said, this is the category I was nominated in despite my primary interest being the dealer hall.
3. I've served as staff at multiple conventions, especially Anime Evolution and Otafest.
4. No. I am, however, running to ensure that that debacle never happens again. My involvement in it is simply a side note.
Question for all candidates:Had you zero restrictions or resistance, what is one new thing you would like to do for 2012?
With this next Kumoricon being the 10th, I feel we should have a more memorable event. Right now I think pushing for getting a band from Japan to perform at the convention is the way to go. I understand that part of this would not necessarily fall under programming, such as actually getting the guest, but the preparations for the event would, and we would need to ensure that we have all the necessary equipment and whatnot to accomodate this sort of event.
This falls more under a joint Programming AND Relations question, however if it hasn't already been asked (I don't have the time right now to check the rest of the thread): What type of events would you look in to holding to make the 10th year of Kumoricon most memorable for the widest selection of our attendees? Would that be something different for those who've been to many past Kumoricons? If your these events require guests what are your backup plans (without guests) in the case that no fitting guest can be booked? (As a suggestion; you might say A band (such as X) to denote a type of event and genera of event without locking in to any guests which likely have not even yet been invited.)
I'm going to lump these together, because I'm going to kinda answer both at once. If I had my choice, I would love to have more Japanese culture content at con - tea ceremonies, kabuki, info on kimono, even taiko if we could swing it. I don't think we have enough (any) of this, and since we are an anime/manga/Japanese culture convention, I would like to see it at our convention.

COLDWATER ��The board of education for Pansophia Academy approved an expansion for their high school earlier this year. The expansion, to the east of the school will consists of three main focal points�career, college and art technology.
Expansions on the parking lot and sidewalks began this week to make way for the addition which is set to break ground this fall.
"Once we get the parking lot and sidewalks constructed we have to get three local sealed bids to present to the board�they will select a company," said Director of Pansophia Academy Steven Palmer.
With an increase in enrollment, doubled over the last two years from 190 to near 400, the expansion is necessary. Ground has already been broken on the opposite side of the school where modulars will be placed and set-up as classrooms during the construction.
Pansophia Academy has recently seen an overhaul on the academic and administration side as well.
With Palmer arriving two years ago, the school has been transforming into the charter school it was originally constructed as.
Pansophia has CS Partners, a management company, working with them to assist in site based management and accountability.
"The school is going in a different direction. We have great staff�great teachers�and the safety and welfare of student is our main priority and we had to change the culture and climate of the school to get where we need to be," said Palmer.
With Pansophia's many changes, the enrollment numbers have increased with many now on a waiting list to be accepted. Due to the high enrollment numbers, two classrooms per grade will now be offered.
"I have a meeting with the parents prior to the students being accepted to make sure the school is a good fit for the student and that's important," said Palmer.
With a new athletic director and coaches, the athletic department has expanded and students are taking advantage of the new opportunities including basket ball, volley ball, bowling, cheerleading, archery, cross country and golf being a possibly for the next school year. Foreign language and art classes are also offered to elementary students. Students are also able to take advantage of smaller class sizes, 1:10 ratio, to assist in the learning experience.
Pansophia also offers all students, regardless of income, free breakfast and lunch and transportation services to all students in the Branch County area.
The construction will continue throughout the year with hopes of the new building being finished for the 2014-2015 school year.

Today I'm going to do something I try not to do too much of in this column - brag about Southeastern Regional. Last week, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced that Southeastern was the most improved school in the state since 2007 on the English Language Arts MCAS exam. And our math improvement wasn't too shabby either.
Today I'm going to do something I try not to do too much of in this column - brag about Southeastern Regional.
Last week, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced that Southeastern was the most improved school in the state since 2007 on the English Language Arts MCAS exam. And our math improvement wasn't too shabby either.
Overall, Southeastern improved by 56 percentage points in ELA and 33 in math. We also exceeded the state average with this year's ELA scores. This is no small feat, considering 56 percent of our students are low income and 68% are considered "high needs". We also accept kids from nine different sending school districts.
We are a diverse community for sure. And this is perhaps what I am most proud of - Southeastern's ability to take kids from completely different backgrounds and find a way of educating them that works.
After the big announcement was made, a reporter from the Brockton Enterprise called me.
"What do you attribute this success to," she asked?
It was late Friday afternoon and I stumbled for an answer.
"It isn't any one thing," I said. "It's lots of little things. And they all add up."
I told her about our great English department, and our remedial reading program. I talked about how teachers from all areas - vocational, academic or otherwise - made writing important. I think I mentioned something about our in-house production of Macbeth, and how teachers connected their classroom lessons with it, and how our school librarian always has a book club or two going.
Eventually, I ran out of things to say in the moment. But now, a day or so later, there is so much more I should say. Because when your success is based on a lot of little things, that means there's something else actually doing all those little things - people.
From teachers, counselors and administrators, to secretarial, cafeteria and facilities support personnel, everyone has a role in educating today's young people. Where would we be without the technicians who keep our computers running? Or the teaching assistants who provide quiet encouragement to kids who need it?
And how about all the folks who contribute when the school day is over? The parents and guardians who take the time to read to their kids and make sure homework gets done. School committee members who volunteer their time and advisory board members who volunteer their expertise. And the coaches who stay until the game is over and wait around to make sure every kid has a ride home. Speaking of rides, how about the bus drivers who get up at four a.m. on cold winter mornings and make sure everyone gets to school safe?
There are so many more. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education folks who uphold high standards, even when it's unpopular to do so. The auditors and bean counters who keep us honest. The attendance monitors and behavior support people who provide structure. And our school lawyer, who tries to keep us out of trouble.
And the kids themselves, the lifeblood of the school, the very people who struggle through these tests and get the scores we are so pleased over. Where would we be without them?
I could go on and on. Because this is the great thing about success - you get to share it, get to spread it around and celebrate it. And all the while, you connect with each other, which is ultimately what life is about.
We aren't perfect and we still have a long way to go. But today, let's celebrate success.
David Wheeler is the principal of Southeastern Regional High School in Easton.

Swedish director Mikael Marcimain's feature debut Call Girl has taken the lead in the race for the Guldbagge – the Swedish national film awards – collecting 11 nominations.
The drama is up for leading awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress (Pernilla August), Best Original Screenplay (Marietta von Hausswolff von Baumgarten) and Best Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema).
Inspired by a brothel scandal of the late 1970s, Call Girl looks beneath the polished surface of the country's model utopian society. The film centres on a 14-year-old girl who is recruited into a ruthless underworld.
The film was previously reported to the Swedish Chancellor of Justice for "gross defamation of character" by the son of the late Swedish prime minister, Olof Palme, over a scene in which a politician who resembles Palme pays for sex with an underage girl.
Swedish director Jan Troell's The Last Sentence, which won Best Director at the Montreal World Film Festival, will be considered in six Guldbagge categories, while Malik Bendjelloul's documentary, Searching for Sugar Man, also secured six nominations.
A 46-member jury has voted in a secret ballot for most of the nominations, while special committees have decided for shorts and documentaries.
The trophies, including an Audience Prize, will be awarded at an SVT-televised gala on Jan 21 at Stockholm's Cirkus, hosted by Swedish actress-comedian Babben Larsson.

The Toffees took the lead against the reigning Premier League champions through Marouane Fellaini before the Belgian gave a spot-kick away for a pull on Edin Dzeko.
But the England centre-back believes the tussle was nothing out of the ordinary, and insisted his side were unfortunate.
"We're pleased but a little bit frustrated," he told the club's official website. "We played really well in the first half, stuck to our game plan and didn't give them too many opportunities.
|Everton are 11/1 to draw 0-0 with Tottenham with William Hill
"Maybe it was a little bit of a pull but it happens all the time and you see a lot of them not given. But a point at Manchester City is still a good point for us and we'll look forward to the next game."
The Sale-born centre-back went on to blame tiredness for his side's failure to maintain their impressive start to the game.
"We were a little bit tired," he continued. "We had a big game Wednesday as well so we've had a busy week."
"With them being able to freshen up and bring on the sort of quality they can bring on, they kept us camped in our own half in the second half and we struggled to get out at times.
"But I don't think they created too many clear cut chances and our goalkeeper came to our aid a couple of times, but you'll take that, especially when you're defending a point."

It's always a sad day when a student who I see as being truly promising and talented decides (or his parents decide) that the lessons must end. It never seems to make any sense to me, since I am of the self-taught school, and can never imagine giving the guitar anything less than 110 percent! That being said, it's especially sad when a student is very talented and no one seems to notice it in his immediate sphere except me! In cases like this I always say the student is "like a tree falling in the woods" if I wasn't there, and it's really true. There are so many parents these days who either have too many false expectations to make their kids "rock stars", or who refuse to, or simply can't perceive the actual talent their son/daughter might have!
Far too many times this great kind of talent gets unrecognized, and it's such a crime. I mean if my Dad had not said to me "Arlen, quit the violin…I can just picture you playing the guitar, all of this simply would not have happened, and my particular talent would not have been as cultivated as it was. And that was just sheer "encouragement", perhaps the most important thing of all. Today for example, I got a call from a Dad who wanted to cancel his kid's lessons, and this kid was just a smokin' electric blues player! He claims that his son was not "practicing", but I can certainly tell from his playing each week that he was definitely playing as much as he could. I think it was more a financial issue, which many folks are never willing to admit, and it was a heart-breaker, since I really worry now that this incredible 14 year-old talent will never be realized! Of course, if he really was meant to play, he'll probably pursue his playing later on, or simply continue at his own pace, but regardless, it's sad to see him have to part ways with me, since I held the highest hopes and regard for his playing!
My love of mentoring kids like this is long-known, and since I can remember so clearly being in that same boat at that age, I see them literally as me all over again. Most importantly, I see my late daughter, Gillian, who I lost at the age of only 14, and my daughter Lexie who is now 24, both of whom I literally lived to share the guitar and life with, and who mean more to me than all the stars in the sky. I certainly hope no more parents make the mistake of misguiding their kids when it comes to the guitar…we all need the best fighting chance we can get!!

GamesIndustry: "Volition's Jim Boone isn't worried about current-gen effort being overshadowed by PS4 and Xbox One anticipation."
Not really, the games are so different they aren't really competition for each other at all.
Saints Row may have started out trying to be like GTA, but they have increasingly went in the complete opposite direction with each game.
Hell this one is going to me more like inFAMOUS or [PROTOTYPE] than a GTA game.
Of course they're unconcerned with the competition. Saints Row is the only true open world game that focuses more on fun over realism. GTA5 is just GTA4.5 and it will have more tedious missions with yet another boring storyline. GTA4 was just a beta.
Saints row 3 is rubbish I couldn't even bring myself to finish it and I rarely stop playing game without finishing them.
I didn't care if people said SR copied GTA or whatever. The game was fun...until The Third.
They took a good thing and just ruined it. I don't think I'll ever get over it. Even if they went back to the original roots.
In the end though, its just a game.

I don't understand how I should read this sentence. LSJ says this under ὅς, B.IV.2:
My Hebrew commentary states it as nominal sentence, that ὃ δὲ πάντων ἀλογώτατον = τὸ δὲ πάντων ἀλογώτατόν ἐστιν ὅτι...the neut. of the Relat. is used in Att. to introduce a clause qualifying the whole of the principal clause which follows :
the latter clause is commonly introduced by γάρ, ὅτι, εἰ, ἐπειδή, etc.,
Should it be read this way?
"The most absurd thing of all is that it is also not possible to know and say their names."
By "their" he means those accusers, right? i thought initially that he continues the theme of defenseless, innocent children and now
he piles on 'without reasoning skills/speechless' to even know or say their own names, but it obviously doesn't make sense with the following
"except if one happens to be a comic poet".

KENNESAW, Ga. – Now entering his fourth full season with the New England Revolution, Sainey Nyassi knows more is expected of him in 2011.
Nyassi has shown loads of potential since joining the Revolution as a wide-eyed teenager late in the 2007 season, occasionally proving nightmarish to shell-shocked left backs unable to cope with his blistering pace. But the performances have been sporadic and the Gambia National Team winger has often shown his youth in game-changing situations.
No longer a young prospect, it's now time for the 22-year-old Nyassi to turn his tremendous potential into a more dependable reality.
"It's a big year for him," said head coach Steve Nicol. "He's been around us long enough to step up and be more consistent."
Asked what specifically Nyassi needs to do in order to continue progressing, Nicol noted the mental aspect of the game.
"It really comes down to decisions on the field, on the ball," he said. "If he makes better decisions then he's going to give some defenders a tough time."
To his credit, Nyassi welcomes the increased expectations and understands which aspects of his game need improvement as he aims to harness his potential.
"I need to be consistent and play with my teammates," Nyassi said, echoing the sentiments of his coach almost word-for-word. "I need to be [wiser] and smarter on the field, because I've been around long enough to be able to give the coaches what they need from me."
Of course, it's one thing to take the coaching staff's words into consideration, while it's quite another to put those words into action. But if Nyassi's current preseason form is any indication, he may well be on his way to a breakout year in 2011.
With goals in each of the Revolution's last two exhibition games, Nyassi is the club's leading scorer this preseason. Perhaps most promising is the fact that both goals have come against MLS opponents in FC Dallas and the Columbus Crew.
"I felt great scoring two goals in two games," said Nyassi. "I need to stay [at that level] and keep improving."
Should Nyassi's performance level take a dip, newcomers Michael Augustine and Ryan Kinne are waiting in the wings for their opportunity to take over the right midfield role. Kinne in particular has made a strong case, scoring the game-winning goal in a preseason match against the University of Central Florida and consistently impressing in training.
Both Nicol and Nyassi believe the competition provided by Augustine and Kinne can only be positive.
"Ryan's lighting a fire under him," said Nicol, referencing Nyassi's rebound performance against Dallas after Kinne shone against UCF. "Kinne's gotten some time on the field and he's taken it. It's a good fight (for the right midfield role)."
"That will help me a lot if I have competition and see all the guys out there who are playing the same position as me," Nyassi said. "Hopefully that will bring a lot of competition and I'll work harder and harder to keep that starting spot."
Should Nyassi perform up to his capabilities on a consistent basis, both he and the Revs could prosper.
"He knows exactly what we expect of him and he has to keep doing it week in and week out," said Nicol. "If he does that, then we'll be happy, he'll be happy and everybody he plays against won't be (happy)."

It hadn't rained for months, but the atmosphere of the shop was damp. Damp and still. Nothing moved when I came in. Not the gaunt figure behind the cash desk. Not the angular figures bent over the adjacent table.
I thought of Howard Carter poking his head into the tomb of Tutankhamun. Like Carter, I saw wonderful things, but no signs of life.
The figure behind the desk shifted slightly and spoke. "Yes?"
"I, well, I'm looking for, um, I was wondering…"
"I want to learn to knit."
There was a flicker of movement at the table, as though a scuttling rat had disturbed scraps of rag scattered across the floor of the tomb.
"I know the—I forget what you call it. How to start. And how to do the knit stitch. But that's all, and I really want to make a sweater."
"A sweater."
"Right. So I wondered if you have classes?" The scraps of rag tittered. The gaunt figure flinched.
"We do."
"Great. Then I guess I'd like to sign up."
"Sweaters are very complicated."
"Oh. Should I start with something simpler? Do you have a basic class?"
"We have classes, but we have no classes that would be appropriate for you."
"Could I learn from a book?" "I don't know. That depends on you, I suppose."
"Do you have a good how-to book?"
The figure flitted, shadowlike, from the desk to a shelf and dropped a floppy, dusty sheaf of pages into my hand.
"Thank you. I'll take this, then, I guess. And some yarn. I have needles already. Could you recommend a good yarn for a beginner?"
The scraps sighed in unison.
"Good yarn is not inexpensive, you understand."
"Well—I guess I need some anyhow."
My bill came to slightly less than four hours' wages. "Thank you," I said.
"Come again," said the figure.
The door closed with a hiss and a thud.
"I'll show you," I thought.
Outside, it was absolutely identical to one hundred thousand other slices of cinderblock in ten thousand other strip malls across the American rust belt.
Inside, it was a hug from grandmother. Not just any grandmother, but the grandmother who set the pattern for the cookie baking, lace-collared grandma beloved of Madison Avenue and children's holiday movies.
It smelled like clean wool and hot cinnamon. The stock was neat but gently tousled, like a favorite nephew's hair.
The owner leapt from her armchair as though she'd been waiting all year for my arrival. "I have to show you something that's just come in," she said. "Do you like silk? Of course you do, everybody likes silk."
She made me a cup of tea. Not a mug, a cup. With little pansies around the rim. We talked about old movies while she deftly knit a pretty, cabled hat for a local girl who'd lost her hair to chemotherapy. I bought an entire bag full of silk-blend lace-weight for a ridiculous amount of money.
"I'm so sorry you're only passing through," she said. "I'd be happy to have you visit with me every day. And Wilbur just loves you."
Wilbur was the shop dog, who fell asleep with his shaggy head on my knee.
We parted with a peck on my cheek and a promise to keep in touch.
Six months later she was arrested for tax evasion and illegal stockpiling of weapons.
If the shop had an official name, nobody knew what it was. The only signage was a warped pine plank above the door with Y-A-R-N painted on it. So we called it Yarn.
Yarn was a compact establishment: one room, no frills. There was no place to sit and knit, but it didn't matter because lingering was not encouraged.
"This is a store," the owner was heard to remark, to everyone in particular, on more than one occasion. "You want to sit and look at things, you can go down to the multiplex."
We shopped in a brisk, businesslike fashion; yet sometimes we were still too much for her.
"Out," she would say. "Everybody out. I've had enough of this. I need a smoke and I don't want anybody stealing stuff while I'm on my break."
She didn't give lessons, she didn't wind yarn, and she didn't do special orders. But the sale bin was always full of good stuff. Cashmere at 70 percent off?
"Screw it," she said. "I want it out of here. The company rep was a bitch on the phone to me last night and she can kiss my ass."
One day we dropped by after watching Julia Roberts at the multiplex and Yarn was gone. I don't mean closed, I mean gone. Leveled. The whole building. We couldn't even find traces of the foundation. There was a sign saying the land was for sale.
We thought maybe we'd dreamt the whole thing, but then one of us found a ball of cashmere in the dirt. She made it into a scarf.

DOE Releases Wind Powering America Impact Study
June 3, 2013
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established Wind Powering America (WPA) in 1999 to educate, engage, and enable critical stakeholders to make informed decisions about how wind energy contributes to the U.S. electricity supply. The initiative has an overarching goal of dramatically increasing the use of wind energy in the United States. This week DOE released an independent review that presents an evaluation of the impacts and processes of the WPA initiative. The independent evaluation resulted from extensive interviews leading to some insightful findings as well as an assessment of the impacts of the WPA activity, in general and in states where the initiative was active.

Cool runner! Woman, 91, sets marathon record
At age 91, Harriette Thompson of North Carolina set a record in Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll San Diego marathon.
With a time of seven hours, seven minutes and 42 seconds, Thompson broke the U.S. record for the fastest marathon run in the 90-94 age group, reported KNSD-TV in San Diego.
The previous record was held by a 90-year-old runner who finished a marathon in 8:53:08, KNSD reported.
Thompson also became the second-oldest marathon finisher in U.S. history — the oldest was 92 years old — Competitor.com reported.
Thompson started running marathons when she was 76 years old and has run one every year since. Sunday's race was Thompson's 15th marathon, Runner's World reported.
"You're never too old to do it," she told the magazine.
YOUR TAKE: Why do you run?
Thompson beat cancer of the palate in 1987. She has always run for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Team In Training, raising more than $90,000 for the cause, according to Runner's World.
She's battling cancer again and just completed radiation on her legs before Sunday's race, KNSD said.
To train for the race, Thompson told the TV station, "I try to run around the block, and I do a few 5Ks. I think the most I've done this year is an 8K, so it's sort of a lot to ask to jump from that to 26 (miles)."
Thompson is a former concert pianist. To deal with the monotony of running, she mentally played old piano pieces she had performed, according to Competitor.com.

The sex couch is a piece of furniture (doesnt have to be a couch really) located in the prop room connected to a drama classroom. When feeling the need to relieve stress with someone of interest usually drama kids will ask to go look for things in the prop room... While in the prop room they do not actually search for anything but take a spin on the sex couch. Everyone in drama ends up finding out about the sex couch and half of everybody uses it at least once for sexual purposes. Yes teachers know abot the sex couch but they will never get rid of it. It will always stay in there. If using the sex couch, it is advised to use responsibly. And remember before you sit on the sex couch... What happens on the sex couch, STAYS ON THE SEX COUCH!!!
EX: Dude! Did you hear what those two did on the sex couch??... Man, don't sit on that for a while!!

Dinner vs. Child is a biweekly column about cooking for children, and with children, and despite children, originally published on Food52 and now appearing on Brow Beat.
Today: A chicken soup bold enough to stand up to the unending winter.
A couple of weeks ago, when I decided we all needed some more chicken soup for this unending winter, a small part of me thought, Maybe I'm being too pessimistic. Surely, by the time the column runs, everyone will have forgotten about that time when they moved the northern half of the United States to the Arctic Circle by mistake, and people will be wearing light cotton fabrics in pastel shades, and the children will no longer be eating mud-topped snow cones but just straight-up mud cones. (Better terroir that way, too.)
And my editors will be like, "Don't you want to skip that chicken soup column and write about something fresh and spring-y like asparagus with ramp sauce instead?"
Or in the words of Lorrie Moore: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! …
This morning it was 15 degrees.
Is there some sort of Jewish Mothers of the World cookbook that has nothing but recipes for chicken noodle soup? Because that, as Hal David and Burt Bacharach meant to tell us, is what this world needs now. And because I care more for the future happiness of humanity than mere profit, I give this priceless idea to you, with the proviso that you publish it before December, when we will enter suspended animation once more.
Never mind—it exists already. Carry on with your lives.
This chicken soup comes from Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet, which can never be praised too much. Its only flaw is that it has so many obviously exciting recipes that the quieter ones—like chicken soup—get passed over. And this recipe is especially likely to be skipped, for a few reasons:
Reason #1: It calls for an enormous quantity of alliums, which it makes it sound like the soup will be sharp and aggressive. It is not. It is the opposite. Simmered in the broth, the onions, shallots and garlic become docile and sweetly charming, the perfect houseguests, if you like to slow-cook your houseguests and noisily slurp them.
Reason #2: It calls for five whole cilantro plants, roots and all. As it turns out, before children arrived I spent way too much time searching for cilantro plants with the roots still attached and I can tell you that the only reliable way to obtain whole cilantro plants is to grow them yourself. So I opt out: I toss in some cilantro, not even five plants worth, and I forgo the roots. I live with myself.
Reason #3: It calls for a whole chicken—and it is wonderful when made with a whole chicken, just as it must be wonderful when made with a pot full of cilantro roots. But most of the time I make this as a slap-dash, duct-taped dinner: I use a pile of assorted frozen chicken parts for stock and pick meat off the bones afterward. It works.
And as if I haven't mauled the poor recipe enough, I add noodles too. In this time of unending winter, we need to bulk up.
Chicken Soup with Onions and Garlic for the Endless Winter
Adapted freely from Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet (Artisan, 2000)
Serves 4 with soup left over
1 small chicken or whatever chicken you have frozen for stock (if you use assorted parts, you will want a couple of pounds worth)
3 scallions, trimmed
1 bunch cilantro, stalks and roots included (optional: do not scour the city for cilantro with the roots still on; feel free to make without any cilantro)
2 carrots, halved
8 whole black peppercorns
3 tablespoons fish sauce
½ teaspoon salt
8 small shallots, or 4 large shallots, peeled and halved
1 head of garlic, peeled and halved
1 large onion, finely chopped
½ pound egg noodles (straight wheat noodles are fine, though)
Cilantro, chopped (optional)

nothing to add other than very interesting beer - I really want to hear how it turns out.Are you at all concerned about the DP of your grist? Seems like you will need to mash longer to convert the starch in the oats. I've done some all Munich grists before and I felt that at least 90min if not 120 is best. YMMV.Please update when its tapped.Cheers!
Cocoa in an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie? Heathen!Here's my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie beer that I did earlier this year and it was awesome.Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Celebration Ale. I used a cinnamon tincture and boiled the ginger.
Looks promising. I'm also intersted in your results. I'll stay tuned. I think the molasses might help balance this one out. Sounds tasty. I also think a longer mash on the thinner side might be in order here.
Did you use ceylon cinnamon or cassia for the tincture? Ceylon is a lot milder, not as hot but, I think, with better flavour that the cassia. might need to experiment with that part.
How was the roast level on your brew? I notice you added the caraffa at sparge time to reduce the roastyness. Also what was your experience flavour wise betweent he rolled oats and malted?
I tend to think of nutmeg when I think of oatmeal raisin cookies. More so than ginger. Perhaps that would be good in tincture?Let us know how it turns out! I'm not set up for all-grain yet, nor do I feel experienced enough, but the recipe sounds epic.

What to Expect at Home
Knowing your body and the symptoms that tell you your heart failure is getting worse will help you stay healthier and out of the hospital. At home, you should watch for changes in your:
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Pulse
- Weight
When watching out for warning signs, you can catch problems before they get too serious. Sometimes these simple checks will remind you that you forgot to take a pill, or that you have been drinking too much fluid or eating too much salt.
Be sure to write down the results of your home self-checks so that you can share them with your doctor. Your doctor?s office may have a "telemonitor," a device you can use to send your information automatically. A nurse will go over your self-check results with you in a weekly phone call.
Throughout the day, ask yourself:
- Is my energy level normal?
- Am I getting more short of breath when I am doing my everyday activities?
- Are my clothes or shoes feeling tight?
- Are my ankles or legs swelling?
- Am I coughing more often? Does my cough sound wet?
- Do I get short of breath at night?
These are signs that there is too much fluid building up in your body. You will need to learn how to limit
Checking Your Weight
You will get to know what weight is right for you. Weighing yourself will help you know if there is too much fluid in your body. You might also find that your clothes and shoes are feeling tighter than normal when there is too much fluid in your body.
Weigh yourself every morning on the same scale when you get up -- before you eat and after you use the bathroom. Make sure you are wearing similar clothing each time you weigh yourself. Write down your weight every day on a chart so that you can keep track of it.
Call your doctor if your weight goes up by more than 3 pounds in a day or 5 pounds in a week. Also call your doctor if you lose a lot of weight.
Checking Your Heart Rate and Pulse
Know what your normal pulse rate is. Your doctor or nurse will tell you what yours should be.
You can take your pulse in the wrist area below the base of your thumb. Use your index and third fingers of your other hand to find your pulse. Use a second hand and count the number of beats for 30 seconds. Then double that number. That is your pulse.
Your doctor may give you special equipment to check your heart rate.
Checking Your Blood Pressure
Your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure at home. Make sure you get a good quality, well-fitting home device. Show it to your doctor or nurse. It will probably have a cuff with a stethoscope or a digital readout.
Practice with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if:
- You are tired or weak.
- You feel short of breath when you are active or when you are at rest.
- You are wheezing and having trouble breathing.
- You have a cough that does not go away. It may be dry and hacking, or it may sound wet and bring up pink, foamy spit.
- You have swelling in your feet, ankles, or legs.
- You have to urinate a lot, especially at night.
- You have gained or lost weight.
- You have pain and tenderness in your belly.
- You have symptoms you think might be from your medicines.
- Your pulse or heartbeat gets very slow or very fast, or it is not regular.
- Your blood pressure is lower or higher than your doctor says is normal for you.

With extensive drainage issues and other public works jobs picking up, the city of Hardeeville decided it was time to hire a public works director.
Rhett Lott, 38, of Rincon, Ga., stepped up to the job just three weeks ago.
Lott spent 8-10 years as a civil engineer in the private sector working on various sites, water and waste. His previous experience includes URS Corporation and Ward Edwards.
For more than two years Hardeeville went without a public works director. City manager Bob Nanni was given those responsibilities when he was hired in 2011.
"We've been carrying that position over in the budget but we had to decide whether there was a need for a director," Nanni said. "When public works jobs started picking up and it was becoming more than what I could help with, it was time to bring someone in."
As director, Lott has eight employees who work together with the recreation department on projects around the 55-square-mile city.
When Lott was hired, he delved into the Columbia Avenue drainage project immediately. The city received a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant to fund the project and Cleland of Ridgeland was awarded the project with a bid of $470,858 in March.
After seven months, Columbia Avenue should no longer flood after a rainstorm.
"The project is complete. Grass was laid and is growing. We're working with S.C. Department of Transportation to patch parts of the road that were affected by the trucks, but other than that it's finished," Lott said.
Lott's next step is to create a long-term drainage plan for Hardeeville.
"Hardeeville has a high water table and aging infastructure," Lott said. "We're going to have to take a larger look at an overall plan for maintenance and drainage."
Lott said he also plans to find ways to save the city money in the public works department. "In engineering, everything is a puzzle. It never gets boring because you're always doing something different," Lott said.
Age: 38
Hometown: Powder Springs, Ga.

Education: Southern Polytechnic State University
Family: Married with a 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son

152: Hamster Ball
|Hamster Ball
Title text: Reportedly, double-walled inflatable balls like this exist somewhere. Now to find that place.
The comic starts with a genie, who, having been freed from a magical lamp, grants the owner three wishes. The idea of a genie that does this is a very [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenieInABottle common trope} in the fantasy genre. Alternative spellings are jinn and djinni.
Cueball asks for a human-sized hamster ball, and when he gets it, he starts to roll around in it, obviously entertained. The genie then asks what he would like for his other two wishes, to which, having being granted already his heart's desire, he states he wouldn't need the other wishes for anything.
The title text refers to the activity of Zorbing. And later Randall found out where to get one and went on a Hamster Ball Heist, and hamster balls has been a recurring theme on xkcd since this comic.
Genies (or magic lamps) are mentioned in at least three other comics:
In the two first manages to use the concept to make penis related jokes. In the third the issue of number of wishes is discussed, from the perspective of wanting more than three wishes. The issue of wishing for more wishes is also the subject of 1086: Eyelash Wish Log, so it is not always enough with one or even three wishes!
- [Cueball stands by a genie, whose lower body becomes smoke and trails down to an old-fashioned lamp.]
- Genie: You have awakened me from the lamp. You may have three wishes. What does your heart desire?
- Cueball: I'd like a human-sized hamster ball.
- [A hamster ball appears; Cueball is inside it.]
- Cueball: Sweet!
- [Cueball steps to left; the ball rolls that way.]
- [He does the same thing to his right.]
- [Cueball comes to rest in the centre of the panel.]
- Genie: And your other wishes?
- Cueball: Why would I need other wishes?
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
Why does this explanation assume the Genie/Djinn is Jeannie from "I Dream Of Jeannie"? I see nothing to support that claim. 18.104.22.168 19:53, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- This comic explain is still incomplete because of this inconsistencies. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
To me this is just a common Genie (as I've seen it in most US kids' stuff). Occasionally you see Djinn, Jinn, or Djinni. I think that's all there is to it. --Quicksilver (talk) 06:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
I edited the article to try to reflect the view that the Jeannie reference is unintended. Personally, I see no such reference, and suggest deleting the section. --Commarchinin (talk) 13:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Ratings & Reviews
In this theatrically released chapter of the 1984-1987 syndicated animated series, the struggle between the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons is taken twenty years into the future as both sides must deal with a world-devouring being called Unicron (voiced by Orson Welles). Set in 2005, The Transformers: The Movie serves as a bridge between the series' second and third seasons, with the deaths of several major characters and the introduction of new ones. Darker and more action-packed than the TV series, the movie was originally dismissed as little more than a feature-length toy commercial, but it has since grown in stature to become a cult favorite. ~ Skyler Miller, Rovi

Steam Traction Engine
From RitchieWiki
Forestry Equipment
[edit] History
The evolution of the steam traction engine can be traced back to developments in the steam engine. The most significant developments in both steam engine technology and the invention of steam traction engines began in Europe around the 1860s. In the 1870s steam traction engines made their way to America where early agricultural manufacturers such as Case in Racine, Wisconsin started producing steam traction engines at a rate of one per hour by 1913.[3]
[edit] Thomas Savery and the Steam Engine
The invention of a crude steam engine patented by Thomas Savery in 1698 started a chain reaction of events that precipitated the development of the steam traction engine. Savery was a military engineer who had been dealing with the problem of trying to pump excess water out from coal mines. The engine featured a closed vessel filled with water into which pressurized steam was introduced. The steam drove water upwards out of the mine through a shaft. Cold water was sprinkled and condensed the steam generating a vaccum-like suction that pushed more water out of the mine via a bottom valve. Later on, Savery would contribute to the invention of an atmospheric steam engine.[4]
[edit] Thomas Newcomen and the Atmospheric Steam Engine
Thomas Newcomen was an English blacksmith who invented the atmospheric steam engine. His steam engine was a far improvement from that of Thomas Avery because it relied on the force of atmospheric pressure and pumped steam into a cylinder. Inside the cylinder, the cold water condensed the steam, creating a vacuum. This led to atmospheric pressure operating a piston that moved in a downward stroke motion. The primary difference of Newcomen's steam engine as opposed to Savery's was pressure intensity was not limited by steam pressure.[5]
[edit] James Watt and the Steam Engine
Other sources credit the actual invention of the steam engine to a man named James Watts in 1769.[6] Watts simply expounded upon the idea of Newcomen's earlier steam engine when he had to make repairs on it working as a mechanical engineer at the Universtiy of Glasgow in Scotland. The primary difference, an idea he patented, was a separate condenser connected to a cylinder by a valve.[7] His steam engine design would set the precedent for all future steam engines and essentially brought forth the age of industrialization. Interestingly enough, so significant was his invention of a workable steam engine that a unit of power known as a "Watt" has been named after him.[8]
[edit] Early Steam Powered Vehicles
The incorporation of stationary steam engines into something mobile can't be directly attributed to just one person. It is documented however that a French military engineer by the name of Nicolas Cugnot made substantial inroads towards steam powered road vehicles when he developed a self-propelled three-wheeled army vehicle in 1769 that hauled artillery and could transport up to four people. The engine had a speed of two miles (3.2 km) per hour and ran only for 15 minutes. A second engine demonstrated in the streets before the French public crashed and put a stop to any further engine developments for Cugnot.[9]
[edit] Richard Trevithick and the High-pressure Steam Engine
Richard Trevithick was the son of a Cornish mine captain and spent his childhood years around coal mines. By the age of 19, he was employed as a consulting engineer. Starting in 1797, he started designing models of smaller cylinder, high-pressure steam engines, bypassing Watts earlier idea of a separate condenser to expel steam. In his models, the steam escaped straight from the cylinder thereby producing more power.[10]
Eventually this development led Trevithick to build the first steam road locomotive in 1801 in the U.K. but its actual lifespan was short-lived when it burnt out. A second road machine followed in 1803 until Trevithick turned his attention to railways.[11] However, many of his inventions never became commercially viable and he died in debt.[12]
[edit] Introduction of the Traction Engine in the U.K.
Robert Ransomes of Ipswich, England built upon the work of Trevithick and introduced the first steam powered traction engine in 1841 and a year later began producing them commercially.[13]
Other sources cite Thomas Aveling, a Kentish farmer, as being the "father of the traction engine." Aveling was dissatisfied with portable steam engines that were used to power farm machinery. These portable steam engines had to be moved from site to site by a team of horses. He went about developing a self-moving steam engine and eventually began to manufacture his engines all over the world by 1862 when he entered into a partnership with Richard Thomas Porter to form Aveling & Porter.[14] Other builders of steam traction engines by the late 1870s included Burrell, Clayton, Fowler, and Garrett.[15]
[edit] Steam Traction Engines in the U.S.
Around 1849 the first steam traction engines to appear in the U.S. were portable models pulled by horses. One of the first portable steam engines was called the Forty Niner built by A.L. Archanbault in Philadelphia. The engine was offered in four, 10, and 30 horsepower sizes. [16]
The next logical step in steam traction engine development was the conversion of a portable steam engine into a self-propelled stream traction engine. The first one in the U.S. was invented by Obed Hussey in 1855 and was specifically invented for plowing.[17] In response to the advances of steam power to carry out farm work done by horses, Abraham Lincoln commented in 1859, "It is not enough that a machine operated by steam will really plow. To be successful, it must, all things considered, plow better than can be done by animal power." [18]
By the 1870s many started buying self-propelled steam engines. Inventors had made huge strides in devising a suitable gearing for the rear wheels and also a chain or belt drive from the engine flywheel to a countershaft of the gearing to provide self-propulsion. In the 1880s a clutch and gear train between the engine and rear wheels was introduced. Some manufacturers lamented that the steering gears on some of these early steam traction engines were not entirely reliable and cautioned operators not to drive them on public roads.[19]
By 1900 steam traction engines were being used for farming and logging. Over thirty companies in the U.S. were manufacturing about 5,000 large steam traction engines and most models were a substantial improvement over earlier models. The gearing shafts and other wearing parts were now much tougher to withstand the wear and tear imposed upon them by pulling large threshers and plowing.[20]
One of the most successful commercial manufacturers of steam traction engines in the U.S. was the J.I. Case Co. based in Racine, Wisconsin. As an agricultural pioneer in the development of farm equipment, Case Co. was producing steam traction engines with horsepower ranging from six to 150 as well as road rollers, portable steam farm engines, skid engines, and boilers.[21]
[edit] Features/How it Works
The first steam traction engines used a chain drive. However, it was more typical for larger gears to be used to transfer the drive from the crankshaft to the rear axle.mounted and the rest of the parts attached.
In earlier models, the engine was usually top-mounted, placed on the boiler and the boiler, then mounted on the truck. In road locomotives, it was common to mount the engine under the boiler. In some models, engines were also side mounted or rear mounted.
To preserve the engine from damage, heavy shocks and jars or heavy coil springs were placed between the boiler and the front and rear axles. Springs in the steering gear also assisted the front wheels from breaking when an obstruction was hit.
Power of steam traction engines was transmitted to the traction wheels by a simple train of spur gears made of cast iron. Most machines had two large powered wheels at the back and two smaller wheels positioned at the front for steering. These wheels were often made of steel and some manufacturers even experimented with a form of caterpillar track. A collar on the front wheels helped to prevent slippage. The drive wheels had steel tires, either round or flat spokes and a cast-iron hub.
The first traction engines were geared only to travel at speeds of two to three miles (3.2 to 4.8 km) an hour on the road. Later engines were modified with two forward speeds—one slow and one fast.
Steam traction engines were very heavy and often weighed 45,000 pounds (20,412 kg) and, when operating, generated steam pressure of 150 to 200 pounds per square inch (1,034 to 1,379 kPa).[22]
[edit] Types
The steam traction engine can be classified according to six different types as characterized by use.
[edit] Portable
The portable steam traction engine was the very first type of engine of its kind to be used on British farms. As the name suggests, the steam engine was portable but only because the engine needed to be pulled by a team of horses. Primarily used to steer threshing equipment and operate sawmills, portable traction engine remained in wide use even into the 20th century.[23]
[edit] Agricultural
These steam traction engines dominated farms in the countryside and were used as mobile power plants to accomplish general farm tasks including threshing and tree pulling. Steam traction engines used mostly for agricultural would have probably been too expensive for farmers to purchase outright meaning they were usually operated by a contractor how would tour from farm to farm. The operation of steam traction engines for agricultural purposes came to a stop in the 1930s with a preference for petroleum paraffin tractors. However, a few still remained in use up until the 1950s.
[edit] Plowing
Steam traction engines used in plowing were used in a set and were connected to a cable spanning the field and attached to each engine on a winding drum with a plow joined in the middle that would be pulled up and down the field. One engine would be specifically designed to pull on its right side and the other engine on its left side therefore becoming known as left side and right side engines. The largest of all steam traction engines, these engines weighed on about 22 tons and plowed on average 30 acres (12 ha) a day.[24]
[edit] Road Locomotives
Road locomotives were used for heavy haulage of up to 120 tons on public highways. Larger sized than normal traction engines, road locomotives were fitted with a three-speed gearing and sprung on both the front and rear axles. In addition, road locomotives were modified with an extra water tank fitted under the machine's boiler so that greater distances could be achieved between water stops. Additional uses were generating power for rides and for lighting.[25]
[edit] Steam Tractor
Steam tractors were designed as smaller road locomotives with an engine less than five tons in weight and were used for road haulage and in forestry.[26]
[edit] Steam Road Rollers
This take-off of the steam traction engine was designed specifically for roadbuilding and flattening ground mimicking today's modern rollers used for compacting road surfaces. A single, heavy roller replaced the front wheels and axle and a smoother rear wheels replaced larger wheels without strakes.[27]

If you've read my blog before then you have surely heard me mention the vision that the ownership group of Vancouver Whitecaps FC have for the club and for the game of soccer here in Vancouver, and in fact across the province and country.
They are very passionate about the direction they want the 'Caps to go in, and one of the main goals for the club is to continue to develop the grassroots level of the sport.
These are certainly lofty goals and ones that will take a great deal of collaboration. Yes, Whitecaps FC can take a leadership role in this, but it is impossible for the club do this on our own.
There has always been a belief in the 'Caps organization that in order to be successful we need to be developing our own young players, and that means building partnerships around British Columbia and beyond.
Last week I had the pleasure of going to Nanaimo for the announcement of a new Whitecaps FC Island Academy Centre in partnership with Harbour City FC. There was certainly a buzz surrounding the announcement and a ton of enthusiasm from locals that there was now support and collaboration from the 'Caps.
Creating these academies means the club is building relationships in these communities and hopefully becoming an asset, as well as providing some leadership in player development.
Vancouver Island joins the 'Caps academy centre network that includes Vancouver, the Okanagan, and the Kootenays, with more to be added in the near future. Make no bones about it, Whitecaps FC are intent on branching out near and far to help grow the game to nurture young players who could one day star for the Blue and White.
There are many challenges for those who live outside of the Lower Mainland. It's sometimes hard to get high level coaching or the competition they need week in and week out. These academy centres will not solve every problem, but it will establish a clearer pathway to achieving soccer success.
These communities now have a firm belief that their young players can not only dream about taking their soccer to the next level, but will have an opportunity to do so.
Remember, I too was once a boy who closely followed his favourite team and dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player.
Now there are many more kids in BC who can have good reason to hold that same dream.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ANALI from Nice Went a size up and they fit great on waist and hips. They look really good on the front of the legs but wrinkle all down the back of my legs because they are made for taller women, I'm 5'4". I still kept them because I really like how they look on the front but if you are taller I'm sure they would look amazing on you front and back. If you are not that tall think before ordering because all those wrinkles on the back don't make your back legs look that great. I debated whether to keep them or not but they are better than many of these type of jeans out there.

Business tycoon Donald Trump is being sued for $40 million by the New York attorney general for his fake "Trump University." Trump argued that the lawsuit is false and politically motivated.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman argues that Trump University deceived consumers into attending expensive seminars with the expectation of replicating Trump's success. Of the 5,000 students, some paid up to $35,000. Many were unable to obtain a real estate job after attending Trump University and now have thousands of dollars of debt. Trump's lawyers argue that the investigation is attempting to seize campaign contributions from Trump and that Trump University never deceived anyone.
The case will be heard in the state Supreme Court in Manhattan. Schneiderman is suing Trump as the university chairman for engaging in persistent fraud, illegal and deceptive conduct, and violating federal consumer protection law. He is seeking $40 million, most of which will be paid in restitution for Trump University students. Schneiderman's lawsuit covers a period between 2005 and 2011.
AP quoted Schneiderman, "Trump University engaged in deception at every stage of consumers' advancement through costly programs and caused real financial harm." He went on, "Trump University, with Donald Trump's knowledge and participation, relied on Trump's name recognition and celebrity status to take advantage of consumers who believed in the Trump brand."
Trump's lawyers argue that the university never deceived anyone. Attorney Michael D. Cohen told the Associated Press on Sunday, August 26, 2013 that Trump University gave Schneiderman almost 11,000 testimonials from pleased students and said that 98% of students surveyed said the program was "excellent."
The AP quoted Cohen, "The attorney general has been very angry because he felt that Mr Trump and his various companies should have done much more for him in terms of fundraising."
According to State of Board Election records, Trump contributed $12,500 in October of 2010 when Schneiderman was running for attorney general. Cohen said, "This entire investigation is politically motivated and it is a tremendous waste of taxpayers' money."
This is not the first time that Trump University has faced a lawsuit. Trump changed the name of his institution to the Trump Entrepreneur Institute in 2011 after the Stated Education Department told him that his institute did not have a license and did not meet the legal requirements of a university. Trump has faced a couple of civil lawsuits arguing that it did not fulfill its advertised claims.

A vaginal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the vagina, a female reproductive organ.
Alternative Names
Vaginal cancer; Cancer - vagina; Tumor - vaginal
Most cancerous vaginal tumors occur when another cancer, such as
Primary vaginal cancer is rare. Most primary vaginal cancers start in skin cells called squamous cells. This cancer is known as squamous cell cancer. The other types are adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and sarcoma.
The cause of squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina is unknown. But a history of cervical cancer is common in women with squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina.
Most women with squamous cell cancer of the vagina are over 50.
Adenocarcinoma of the vagina usually affects younger women. The average age at which this cancer is diagnosed is 19. Women whose mothers took diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent
Sarcoma of the vagina is a rare cancer that mainly occurs in infancy and early childhood.
Symptoms of vaginal cancer can include any of the following:
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse
- Painless vaginal bleeding and discharge not due to normal period
- Pain in the pelvis or vagina
Some women have no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
In patients with no symptoms, the cancer may be found during a routine pelvic exam and
Other tests to diagnose vaginal tumors include:
Biopsy Colposcopy
Other tests that may be done include:
Chest x-ray CT scanof the abdomen and pelvis
Treatment of vaginal cancer depends on the type of cancer and how far the disease has spread.
Surgery is sometimes used to remove the cancer. But most patients are treated with
Sarcoma may be treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well patients with vaginal cancer do depends on the stage of disease and the specific type of tumor.
Possible Complications
Vaginal cancer may spread to other areas of the body. Complications can occur from radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice bleeding after intercourse or have persistent vaginal bleeding or discharge.
There are no definite ways to prevent this cancer. You can increase your chance of early detection by getting regular yearly pelvic examinations and

Of all the movies I had the greatest expectations for, this was it. It failed miserably.
I probably would have liked this but after someone described the pictures underlying intent I understood why the characters did what they did. Truthfully if I didn't realize it the show would have been much more enjoyable.
I really looked forward to this. It turned out to be a stunning disappointment. This is one of those shows where you feel cheated.
When the movie was over there wasn't the sense of awe at seeing an epic picture that we are accustomed too from previous efforts. Everyone had the look of disappointment not to mention feeling tired from sitting to long.
Apparently we're in for a lot more of these. That would normally be a good thing but if they follow this path it will lead to the demise of a great run.
I don't necessarily agree that the movie was too long. In order to make the others plots relevant they actually needed to make it longer to expand on them. Barring that those scenes should have been edited out.
I was amazed just how bad this was after enjoying other Star Wars movies. I wonder if the writers are listening.
This movie should have been a comedy because the plot was laughable. The length wouldn't have been a factor if the extra time wasn't filled with dead air. Overall it was poor in the most important aspect of what makes a movie a success or not.
Proud of BB. Flushed out the storm troopers and smoked out some Empire officials.
Well done movie from the point of view of the new generations.

California desert camping
All supplies should be brought in if not for the mere fact that obtaining supplies in the region can often be pricey. Remember though, the desert can be a desolate and unforgiving land, always bring more than you think you will need. Campfire BBQ's and fresh fruit are certainly treats for which you will develop a new found appreciation for. And typically, as car camping is the desired approach, you can feel free to bring in almost all that you need.
A couple of suggestions for meals:
A nice touch to wind out a long day of exploring is to cook with your campfire.
Bring plenty of water. A standard rule of thumb is 2 gallons per person per day. Of course this can be partially substituted with fruit juices or sodas, but make sure that you have more than you think you'll need, particularly if its your first time venturing in.
Stay Safe
The desert can be a brutal and unforgiving place, you should be prepared to be fully self-reliant.

PRINCETON, N.J., May 28 (UPI) — U.S. veterans support presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney over President Obama, 58 percent to 34 percent, a Gallup survey indicated Monday.
The results indicated Obama had a 4 percentage point advantage over Romney among non-veterans.
Romney leads by 1 percentage point among non-veteran men, while holding a 28 percentage point bulge among male veterans.
Overall, Obama and Romney are tied at 46 percent each among all registered voters in the latest Gallup survey.
About 24 percent of all U.S. men are veterans while 2 percent of U.S. women are vets, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said. The percentage of female veterans didn't differ significantly in their presidential preference from the vast majority of women who are not veterans.
Results are based on nationwide telephone interviews with a random sample of 43,352 adults conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking April 11-May 24. The margin of error is 1 percentage point.
