Best Places for a Unique Salad
[RIBBONSTART]s-boc.place1.jpg[RIBBONEND]1. RUTABEGORZ
Fullerton, Tustin, Orange (2)
More on Rutabegorz[IMAGE1]
- More than 25 salads on the menu and 12 homemade dressings.
- All the salad dressings, as well as the mayonnaise, sour cream and milk, are low in fat.
- Rutabegorz offers different $1 specials at each location each month. A special salsa or dip can be an appetizer or salad topping.
- Go "green" even when the greens are gone. Containers are made from corn, take less energy to produce and decompose when thrown away.
Years in Orange County: 39.
Why they're No. 1: Though it started as a coffee shop in Fullerton in founder Paul Berkman's college days, Rutabegorz has evolved into one of the primary destinations for salad lovers. It boasts salads that include only green leaf lettuce and fresh spring mix, along with fresh, homemade salad dressings. But don't think you have bea hard-core leaf eater, because there are plenty of indulgent options. Try the Ultimate Salad – ham, salami, cheese, shrimp and avocado join the veggie brigade.
Claim to fame: Rutabegorz is best known for its fresh-focused recipes that tend toward vegetarian but can also include meats. The restaurant is based on good eating as an important part of good living.
Inside scoop: "The barbecue fiesta salad is at the moment my favorite, but the garlic chicken salad is most popular. The wonderful thing about working here is that the people who come in are just like you and I. The atmosphere is very casual, and the crew gets along." — C.C. Hall, Tustin Rutabegorz
Fan favorite: "The Mediterranean salad is my favorite. The best thing is that they put in all these vegetables that they don't even list on their menu, and their salads are huge – they're about three times the size of a normal salad." – Linsey Bojorquez, Orange
Fun fact: Vegetables are probably never as fun as when in fondue, which is a "house favorite."
– Sarah Cole
[RIBBONSTART]s-boc.place2.jpg[RIBBONEND]2. SOUPLANTATION
Locations throughout Orange County
- An "all you care to eat" experience, where each diner builds a meal from a long line of fresh produce items, soups, breads, pasta and desserts. The first Souplantation opened in 1978.
- Freshness is key. Souplantation replaces hot food items every 20 minutes.
- Soup and specialty offerings change every two weeks or so.
- Chain's "Kitchen Cabinet" consists of 12 women selected from 30,000 frequent-customer applicants. They advise the company on menu items, store enhancement and design, and customer-service initiatives.
Claim to fame: The company may have played a major role in popularizing the idea that salad could be a complete meal. "It is all-inclusive, and everything is made from scratch, which is very rare to find in restaurants. Before I even worked here, I loved the restaurant. It's nice to work for a company that you believe in and that you're proud of." – Tracy Marks, public relations coordinator
Inside scoop: Souplantation is family-friendly. Open floors, hustle and bustle, and plenty of patio space at most locations help everyone blend in and prevent a rambunctious child from standing out. And the mac and cheese may do wonders toward getting kids to try some veggies. And by the way, you're not the first one to think about using the soup bowls instead of dessert cups for the soft-serve yogurt.
Fan favorite: "I just love the variety. They always have fresh food." – Cindy Reed, Orange
Fun fact: Joan's Broccoli Madness is the company's No. 1-selling prepared salad.
— Sarah Cole
[RIBBONSTART]s-boc.place3.jpg[RIBBONEND]3. CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN
Locations throughout Orange County
- The new Moroccan Chicken Salad heads a lineup of 11 salads on the regular menu.
- CPK serves more than 10 varieties of salad.
- Twenty-four years ago, attorneys Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax moved from the courtroom to the kitchen and opened their first CPK, which has grown to a chain of more than 250 restaurants.
Claim to fame: The creativity reflected in the pizza lineup is just as evident on the salad side of the menu. The Original Chopped Salad is among its highlights. But the Miso Salad and the Thai Crunch Salad suggest there is plenty more worth exploring.
Inside scoop: "My favorite is the grilled vegetable salad. It has interesting vegetables and flavors." – Lisa Randall, Yorba Linda
Fan favorite: "I am always in the mood for CPK, without a doubt." – Laila Zubair, Anaheim Hills
Fun fact: If you try something new and don't like it, it will be replaced with one of your favorites.
— Sarah Cole
[RIBBONSTART]s-boc.hiddengem.jpg[RIBBONEND]HIDDEN GEM: HO SUM BISTRO
3112 Newport Blvd., Newport BeachHo Sum Bistro
Non-traditional Oriental cuisine pairs with a healthy California twist at Ho Sum Bistro.
While Ho Sum shows an imaginative entrance, what's inside is even better. The menu has the ideal variety of soup, salad, dim sum, noodles and specialty choices.
But it's the famous Chinese chicken salad that has brought customers back to the "Californiental" restaurant. The Ho Sum chicken salad has roasted and shredded white breast meat, with lettuce and red ginger dressing. It has that special ginger tang that makes this type of salad memorable.
It's a favorite for takeout, and you can hear the orders flying in.
"What makes our salad truly unique is that we painstakingly handcraft every ingredient," says Ed O'Neill, owner. "The red ginger dressing is an original recipe that takes a full 36 hours to create and cure. The crispy rice stick and wonton chips are hand made several times a day." – Lois Evezich

Newbie desperately needs buying help!
Hi, i just did my first post in the introduce yourself forum, so sorry for a repeat in a sense. I'm 21, and really looking into buying myself my first old vehicle to work on. I've stumbled across a 1963 Chevy c10 short box step side, with the 283 V8. I'm by no means a mechanic, but do have somewhat of an understanding of most automotive things. So basically, my questions to y'all are basically what i should be looking for! This far, i've only done a very brief visual on the truck, because the owner is out of town. I did manage to call him though, and the bad part is that he knows absolutely nothing about vehicles...he says all he does is throw in gas and oil, lol. So are there any things to look out for on these trucks? From what i've seen so far, the body looks decent: no apparent rust, a few dents, etc. Peering through the window i can see that the owner previous to the current had redone the interior with some woodgrain on the dash, as well as some newer latemodel buckets. There is what looks to be a B&M shifter coming up through the floor, so i've got no idea whats going to be there transmission wise. Essentially, this truck was modified at one time by an owner, and then sold to another guy whos used it as his dd. Says it runs fine, but blows a little blue smoke on startup. I'll hopefully be bringing a mechanic buddy of mine on tuesday to take it for a drive, so i'll know much more by then. But, any help you guys can give in the mean time would be really helpfull. I do have some pics, but it says they are too big to upload, and i don't know how to make them smaller.
Anyways, thanks for whatever you guys know about these trucks, and any other buying hints you can suggest!

You are doing the right thing by taking someone with you who knows about cars.Remeber this is a 63 according ot your post.So depending on a few things,it could have been fixed up over the years and there are more things than what you can see,or it could just have gotten the things you mentioned and is essence is still an old truck with a few parts installed.Your friend should crawl under it,with you,look at the suspension.A little blue smoke is no big deal.You will surely do something else instead of keeping a 283 in it if you are wanting to build something out of it.
I generally look at the body for problems. I can repair replace the mechanical components, but I a bodyman I am not. Also, I'm not familiar with trucks, but a lot of the 60's era cars had/have frame rot. While it can generally be fixed, why start with a major problem.
Look very closely at the front windshield posts and hinge pillars and around the drip rails for rust or signs of repair. That is a real problem area on these and not easily fixed. You can buy every piece of sheetmetal for that style Chevy EXCEPT those areas. I had to pass on a really solid '63 Panel because those areas were rusted out on it. The only rust on the whole darn truck.
thanks for the help so far guys. I'll be sure to double check everything before i make any decisions. Anything else you guys can suggest checking is more than welcome.
Cheers |

Weird Barbarians on the Horizon
Here are my Tharn fully finished (okay not based). I am delighted to have these done as I can move on to something else now. I hate getting stuck painting something. I suppose like most people I need to feel like I am making progress and to have new things to do. I know thats one hundred percent of the reason as to why I have so much unpainted lead in my cabinet. At least I am making progress though! The Tharn would look great in a Warhammer army. The scale is a little odd as they are not quite big enough to be monsters like the Ogres or Minotaurs and they are far to bulky to be anything like a Chaos Warrior or Orc. I really think they could make a great unit but of what?

Clinton Township
One setback sits in mind of Clintondale football team despite recent success
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted October 9, 2013
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — At press time, the Clinton Township Clintondale football team sat at 5-0, 3-0 in the Macomb Area Conference Bronze Division.
With two MAC Bronze games remaining, the Dragons have a good shot to win their third league title in four years, and one more win puts Clintondale in the Michigan High School Athletic Association state playoffs for the fourth time in six years.
The Dragons are also in the midst of a 15-game, regular-season win streak, which dates back to Oct. 21, 2011. But it's the one loss the team has suffered in the last two years that's on the minds of Clintondale players and coach Dave Schindler.
"Our coaches say, 'Every game is for (Beverly Hills Detroit Country Day),'" said Dragons senior running back/safety Todd Moore, referencing Clintondale's 35-0 loss to the Yellowjackets in the pre-district round of the 2012 MHSAA state playoffs.
"We've been talking about that loss since the preseason," Dragons senior linebacker/tight end Trey Barksdale said. "That loss last year broke our hearts."
Impressive as Clintondale's current regular-season win streak is, it's not even on the mind of the Dragons' coach. Schindler said he teaches his players to take one game at a time. He said he concentrates on ensuring his team improves on a weekly basis.
"I don't pay attention to (win streaks). Someone told me about that last week, and I didn't even know about it," Schindler said. "You go back to last year, and we lost in the playoff game, and we're trying to get better so we can have a good showing in the playoffs this year.
"We don't want to go one and done in the playoffs again."
One win in its last four games, which are all against teams Clintondale beat last season, would make the Dragons a virtual lock for the 2013 MHSAA state playoffs.
According to the MHSAA, for football, postseason inclusion is determined by wins and a computer point value, calculated for each team based upon its record and strength of schedule, with the top 256 teams (including all teams with six victories if playing a nine-game schedule) qualifying. These 256 teams are then ordered by enrollment and divided into eight divisions of 32 teams each.
"It'd mean the world to all of us if we could beat (Country Day) and make a deep playoff run," senior defensive back Luwayne Harris said.
Clintondale's performance to this point can be attributed to strong leadership, according to Schindler. Those seniors, and everyone else on the Dragons' roster, tallied an average of 40.8 points per game through five games.
Clintondale's defense has been equally as strong, surrendering seven points or fewer in each game this season, for a total of 33 points allowed through five games. That number is down from 78 points at the same point in 2012 — when Clintondale finished the regular season undefeated.
Barksdale said the team's regular-season success hasn't gone to its head. He said he believes the Dragons do a good job at staying humble and focusing on the task at hand.
"Sometimes, we do look at our record," Barksdale said. "We're doing OK, but it's still not enough. We play every game like it's our last, and we know for sure we don't want to lose (in the first round of the MSHAA state playoffs) again."
Clintondale, which played East Detroit High after press time, will look to keep its winning streak alive when it travels to Mount Clemens (3-2, 3-0 MAC Bronze). Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at Mount Clemens.

issue 227 - January 1992
Few parts of the world remain untouched by feminism.
But how much have women's lives actually changed during the
past 20 years? The latest UN statistics tell the story.
Literacy . Three quarters of women aged 25 and over are still illiterate in much of Africa and Asia.
Schooling |
Birth . Contraceptive use has increased in the poor world from under 15 per cent of sexually active women in 1960/5 to 33 per cent in the early 1980s. . A third of all those with HIV in the world are women. Aids is now the leading cause of death among women aged 20-40 in major cities of Western Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, including New York. . Women who become pregnant face a risk of death due to pregnancy that is 80 to 600 times greater in the poor world than in the rich. . Of 8,000 abortions in Bombay opted for after parents learned the sex of the foetus through amniocentesis only one would have been a boy. |
The Family . The proportion of divorced women has increased worldwide - in the rich world from 2.8 per cent in 1970 to 6.4 per cent in 1985. The proportion of women never married increased too - in Africa from 23 to 33 per cent. . Births outside marriage are now 40 per cent of the total in some countries of Africa, the Caribbean and Northern Europe. In the US, Australia and Aotearoa/NZ the number doubled or tripled. . In Norway women provide 67 per cent of formal and informal care - but one third of elderly women have no-one to ask for help.
Domestic violence . In Colombia one in five bodily injuries during 1982/3 was due to conjugal violence and 94 per cent of those hospitalized were battered women. . A third of US female homicide victims in 1984 died at the hands of their husband or partner. |
Time . In developing countries very poor women are now working 60-90 hours a week just to maintain the meagre living standards of a decade ago. . Before 1975 women and men in Western Europe worked (paid and unpaid) similar hours. Now women work 5-6 hours more than men per week. In Eastern Europe they work 7 hours more than men. . Only in North America and Australia do women work (paid and unpaid) the same number of hours as men. Shopping is more evenly shared but women still do 75 per cent of household chores.
Money . When women do the same work as men they get paid 30-40 per cent less pay on average worldwide. In Canada women professionals still earn 15-20 per cent less than their male counterparts. . Although women's participation in the informal sector is increasing returns are decreasing, and there is a bigger gap in earning between women and men than in the formal sector.
Position . Women hold 10-20 per cent of managerial and administrative jobs worldwide and less than 20 per cent of manufacturing jobs. Of the top 1,000 US corporations only two are headed by women. |

Abstract | In a community-based rural Chinese twin cohort, we examined the distribution of plasma homocysteine levels across the lifespan and explored potential socio-demographic and clinical determinants of homocysteine. Using a co-twin analysis, we also estimated heritability of homocysteine, a measure of the relative contribution of environmental and genetic factors to homocysteine levels. This report includes 1117 subjects (657 male and 460 female twins; 556 twin pairs) free from diabetes, and 10-66 years of age. Plasma homocysteine levels were obtained by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for all subjects. The socio-demographic (alcohol habit, smoking status, education and occupation) and clinical risk factors (triglycerides, HDL-C, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, fasting glucose, and BMI) were also obtained for all subjects. We found that the distribution pattern for homocysteine varied by age and gender. Levels were higher for males than for females in each age group; and the degree of gender difference in homocysteine levels increased from early age all the way to age 30-40 years then began to decrease. The level for males kept increasing until age 30-40 years then began to decrease, while females showed a different trend. Among all of the potential risk factors, only blood pressure showed a strong association with plasma homocysteine levels. Genetic factors could explain 68.8% of the variance in plasma homocysteine levels for female adults. For male adults, only 35.5% of the variance in outcomes could be explained by genetic factors, suggesting that environmental factors may play an important role in regulating homocysteine levels among males. |

Pacific Crest analysts Josh Beck, Andy Hargreaves, John Vinh, Chad Bartley and Evan Wilson today issued a longish group report of 27 pages in which they declare that "we think a partnership between Apple (AAPL) and Visa (V) would make strategic sense and believe an announcement could happen as early as this fall."
The report presumes the next model of the iPhone, an "iPhone 6," will have contactless payments technology in it.
As the authors see it, past efforts to use mobile devices at point of sale were cumbersome, and Visa has introduced ways to make it easier:
Security has played a key role in the formation of mobile payment initiatives and in the past has introduced complex business models that have been unable to scale quickly. ISIS used a physical secure element and a carrier SIM rental model. Google (GOOGL) has moved toward a host-card emulation to reduce business-model friction. PayPal has relied on distribution partnerships with terminal providers and networks [...] New security models could lower adoption hurdles for mobile payments at physical retailers and expand the Visa platform, enabling new commerce opportunities for technology giants, merchants and issuers.
The authors offer the following slide of Visa innovations (click for larger image):
For Apple, the Visa "token service" from Visa could help it "gain scale more rapidly," which has been a "key obstacle that has muddled previous mobile payment projects."
"A combination of cloud-based (HCE) and physical (SE or TEE) seems like a plausible security strategy for Apple."
The authors offer this graphic of stock implications for Apple:
Other beneficiaries from Apple and Visa momentum could be technology providers NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) and Synaptics (SYNA), the authors argue.
Apple stock today is down 70 cents, or 0.7%, at $95.43, while Visa shares are up 24 cents at $212.05.

Ibanez EDB600 WP (white pearl) ReviewsI bought this bass at my local Guitar Center in Totowa, NJ. I paid $509.99 for it. List price was way over $600 though. They also hooked me up by giving me the hardshell case for $50 less than it was. It was a cool deal. I've played quite a few basses over time, and this is one of the top great basses that i've played. I'm actually more of a fender guy, but I can't let go of this one at all. The price was a bit high, but it could've been worse. I'm happy to add this one to my collection. Siano rated this unit on 2002-08-01.More Ibanez Bass_Guitars |

Unions and engineering firm Laing O'Rourke will argue their cases before Australia's industrial umpire
An employee was dismissed by text message because she refused to accept below-Award wages
The outcome of a recent Fair Work Australia (FWA) decision has highlighted the importance of maintaining and consistently reviewing internal social media policies.
FWA made the decision in Glen Stutsel v Linfox Australia Pty Ltd [December 2011] to reinstate the employment of an employee who had been dismissed for making comments about his managers on his Facebook profile.
Glen Stutsel had been employed as a truck driver by logistics company Linfox, and was fired in May 2011 after management became aware of comments he had made online which criticised his managers.
However, FWA found that Stutsel had made the comments in a forum which he held to be private – he had set up his Facebook profile with the maximum security settings.
FWA found that, for this reason, the employee believed he could privately and candidly interact with his friends.
While the ombudsman agreed the employee's comments were "foolish", it was found that the comments were not intended for public display, and therefore there were no valid grounds for termination. As a result, his employment was ordered to be reinstated.
According to Harriet Stacey, co-founder and principal of Wise Workplace Investigations, many employers don't realise that social media policies are not a 'set and forget' policy, and must comprehensively spell out what is acceptable online conduct. Simply banning social media usage in the workplace is insufficient, as comments made outside of work can be just as detrimental and damaging to an organisation's reputation.
While many workplace policies are seldom referred to – common sense and practical problem solving are sufficient to resolve most issues – social media is one policy area that regularly comes into play when things get complicated.
"In times of rapid change, as we are seeing with the development of social media, it is critical to stay ahead of the game. You must determine what is OK and what is not OK for your organisation - and put it in writing," Stacey said.
In the recent case of Damien O'Keefe v Williams Muir's Pty Ltd T/A Troy Williams The Good Guys [2011] FWA 5311 (August 11, 2011) an unfair dismissal application was dismissed in part because of the strong policies held by the Good Guys company.
The employee had been sacked for serious misconduct after posting derogatory comments about the employer on his Facebook profile.
Despite the employee making the comments on a personal computer outside of work hours, the court found in favour of the Good Guys, largely because the company had a clear and comprehensive employee handbook covering the way staff should communicate with each other as well as spelling out firm bullying and harassment policies.

GLENDORA — Deputies and police arrested a Murrieta man Sunday after he was pulled over while driving a pickup truck that had been reported stolen, authorities said.
Adrian Navarro, 18, was booked on suspicion of auto theft, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Grall said.
A deputy from the sheriff's San Dimas Station spotted a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck driving shortly after 7:30 p.m. and discovered it had been reported stolen out of Murrieta Tuesday, the sergeant said.
The deputy pulled the truck over near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Baseline Road, Grall said.
Navarro did not offer any resistance and admitted stealing the truck, he added.

It's the holiday season for crooks, too, police warn
As law abiding citizens prepare Thanksgiving feasts and do their Christmas shopping, authorities want to remind them it's the season for crooks, too.
The increase in shopping, mail and vacations the holiday season brings can create windows of opportunity for thieves to exploit if citizens are not vigilant, area police officials said.
For those planning to leave town for the holidays, it should not be obvious to passers-by the home is vacant, Whittier police Lt. Bill Webster said. He advised discontinuing mail and newspaper service while on vacation, as to not advertise the home is empty.
"If you trust your neighbors, let them know. They're probably your best security system, because they know what's out of the ordinary."
The lieutenant added that while police always advise residents to lock their cars and keep valuables such as GPS devices out of plain view, the message is especially important in the coming months.
In West Covina, which has two shopping malls, West Covina police Sgt. Jerry Pearman advised holiday shoppers not to leave items in plain view in their cars between store visits.
"They should be secured in the trunk," he said.
"As long as things are properly secured in your car, you should be okay."
To help prevent holiday season crime, Pasadena police will begin fielding extra volunteers in shopping areas during weekends, Chief Phillip Sanchez said in a written statement.
"The Pasadena Police Department's Volunteer Safe Shopping program will begin Friday," he said, "and will occur every weekend until Christmas. Uniformed police volunteers will conduct foot patrols from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the Paseo Colorado, South Lake District, East Pasadena and Old Pasadena, handing out safety flyers and answering questions."
Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said residents can help deter crime in their neighborhoods by doing their part to make them look, "alive." Police advised residents to be alert, get to know their neighbors and start neighborhood watch groups and never hesitate to call the police if something suspicious is spotted.
"If we can get residents to work together in terms of being pro-active in presenting their neighborhood as one not inviting or vulnerable to crime, it will send a message that the neighbors are working together," he said.
It's also a good idea to cut up boxes from purchases and place them inside a trash can, not next to it, in order to avoid advertising to thieves what items you've just brought home, police said.
The increased amount of mail and packages being sent during the holiday season can also be targets for opportunistic thieves, officials said.
In a written statement, Arcadia police Sgt. Tom Le Veque offered tips to make sure packages end up in the hands of their intended recipients, and not a lawbreaking grinch.
"This time of year brings out those looking for a crime of opportunity as well as those thieves that actually target your delivery," he said. "Thieves will follow or watch for the UPS, FedEx or other delivery trucks and then target a home after a delivery is made."
Most packages sent to homes are delivered straight to the front porch, require no signature for delivery and are usually left at the recipients' doors even if no one is home to accept them, according to the police statement.
To avoid becoming a victim of a delivery theft, Le Veque offered several tips:
*Use your workplace as the shipping address.
*Track shipments online or by phone so you know what day they're expected to arrive.
*Ask neighbors to watch for your delivery if you're not home and hold any packages until you return.
*Report suspicious people or vehicles in your neighborhood.
*Request a signature delivery option, if available, or request the package be held at the shipping facility to be picked up.
"If you do not receive your shipment on time, check with the company of origin and confirm the delivery," Le Veque said. "If the item was delivered and you did not receive it, then report the theft or loss to the original company, the shipping company and your local police."
3 men shot in El Monte, circumstances of shooting unclear
EL MONTE — Detectives worked Sunday to determine the circumstances surrounding a shooting that left three men seriously wounded the previous afternoon.
The shooting was first reported about 3:40 p.m. Saturday in the 3500 block of Gilman Road, El Monte police Detective Ralph Batres said.
Responding officers were flagged down about a block away from the scene at Durfee Avenue and Exline Street, where they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
A third victim was found a short time later by police in Alhambra, Batres said. The wounded man told officers he had been wounded in the El Monte shooting.
"All the conditions were serious, but all were expected to survive," Batres said.
The wounded were described as a 48-year-old Los Angeles Man, a 33-year old Soledad man and a 24-year-old Los Angeles man.
Investigators initially received conflicting reports about what happened and were working to sort out what actually took place, Batres said.
A motive in the attack was not apparent, and no shooter description was available.
2 men, woman, accused of stealing cars during test drives in El Monte
EL MONTE — Two men and a woman were behind bars Sunday on suspicion of stealing two luxury cars from El Monte auto dealerships during test drives, officials said.
Christopher Enriquez, 38, of Fontana, Anthony Gomez, 27, of Ontario and Yvette Zabala, 38, of El Monte were all booked on suspicion of auto theft, El Monte police Detective Ralph Batres said. Enriquez and Gomez were also booked on suspicion of violating parole.
A Mercedes-Benz was stolen, then quickly recovered, about 9 p.m. Friday from El Monte Remate, 3235 Peck Road, by a man and woman who told a salesman they were interested in a test drive, the detective said.
"When the salesman got out of the car, they took off," he said.
"They were driven to the car lot in a 2004 Audi which was taken three days earlier in a similar incident at (A.M. Motors, 10960 Garvey Avenue) — a male and female posing as customers for a test drive," Batres said.
Just like in Friday's crime, he added, the man and woman in the Tuesday auto theft sped away in the Audi when the salesman got out of it.
The Mercedes taken Friday, however, was equipped with a vehicle anti-theft system, allowing police to track its position.
"Luckily, the Mercedes had a LoJack system equipped and one of the officers located the vehicle in the 11000 block of Klingerman Street, where we arrested (Enriquez, Gomez and Zabala)," Batres said.
Enriquez and Zabala stole the Mercedes during the test drive, Batres said, while Gomez was believed to have been driving the stolen Audi, which was parked near the Mercedes.
According to sheriff's booking records, Enriquez and Gomez were being held without bail at the El Monte Police Department's jail, while Zabala was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
They were expected to be arraigned Tuesday in El Monte Superior Court.

Motorist's death on South Pasadena offramp appears natural
SOUTH PASADENA – A man died on the Orange Grove Avenue off-ramp of the southbound 110 Freeway in South Pasadena after apparently suffering a medical emergency, authorities said Saturday.
Steve Snider, 53, of Glendale was pronounced dead at the scene, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner's Lt. Brian Elias said.
California Highway Patrol officers responded at 7:25 p.m. Friday to a report of a traffic accident, CHP Officer Crystal Carter said.
They discovered a motorist had suffered a medical problem, not been in a crash, she said.
The cause of death will be determined by coroner's investigators.
Officials closed the offramp for about three hours due to the incident, according to the CHP.
Prowler steals car following burglary in Arcadia
ARCADIA — A resident awoke Friday to find his home had been burglarized and his car stolen, police said.
A man woke up shortly after 6 a.m. in the 300 block of Oxford Drive and noticed a front window of his house open, Arcadia police said in a written statement.
Sometime overnight, officials said, a burglar or burglars forced their way in through the window and stole cash, a Wii video game console, a purse and keys from the home.
The crook or crooks then fled in the victim's car, which police described as a dark blue, 4-door, 1998 BMW 740 with a license plate number of 3WTP022. It also had a yellow sticker reading "Carmel" on the rear bumper.
Gunman poses as delivery man in Arcadia home-invasion
ARCADIA – A gunman posing as a delivery man bound a housekeeper Thursday during a home-invasion robbery, police said.
A man knocked at the door of a home in the 300 block of California Street about 10 a.m., claiming to be a delivery man, Arcadia police Sgt. Dan Crowther said. The housekeeper, a woman in her early 40s, answered the door.
"The male suspect pointed a handgun at the victim, bound her hands with duct tape and lead her to a room inside the residence," Sgt. Tom Le Veque said in a written statement.
A second robber then joined the gunman, he said, and both ransacked the home.
"The victim did not see the suspects leave but waited for a period of time and was then able to free her hands," according to the police statement.
She called her employer, who then called the police.
The housekeeper suffered bruises to her wrists but was not seriously hurt, officials said. A safe, jewelry and watches were stolen in the heist.
The safe contained jewelry and other miscellaneous items, Crowther said.
Authorities described the first robber as a Latino man, about 40 years old, of average height and weight, with moles and acne on his face. He wore a dark baseball cap, a white long-sleeved shirt and carried a silver, semi-automatic handgun.
The second robber was described only as a Latino man.
Both suspects spoke only in Spanish during the crime, police added.
Anyone with information is asked to call Arcadia police detectives at 626-574-5160.

Drive-by shooting in Covina leaves teen wounded
COVINA — A teenage boy was wounded Friday in a drive-by shooting, police said.
The crime was reported as a "shots fired" call just after 3:10 p.m. at Barranca Avenue and Dexter Street, Covina police Sgt. Rob Bobkiewicz said.
No victims or suspects were initially found at the scene, he said, however witnesses reported that a white compact car had passed by and opened fire on two people walking down the sidewalk.
A short time later, officials from an area hospital reported receiving a teenage boy in the emergency room suffering from an apparently non-life-threatening gunshot wound, the sergeant said.
The motive in the shooting remained under investigation, he said, and no further details were available.
Police continued seeking the attacker or attackers late Friday, Bobkiewicz said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Covina police detectives at 626-384-5808.

Thousand Cankers Disease Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. On Aug. 9, 2011, the department in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Penn State Cooperative Extension confirmed the presence of Thousand Cankers Disease in black walnut trees in Bucks County. Since this pest complex cannot be eradicated in Pennsylvania, and since black walnut is of high value to the forest products industry and to forest and urban ecologies, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is joining with state and federal agencies and Penn State Cooperative Extension to slow the spread of TCD in the state through monitoring and quarantine. For more information or to report a possible case of Thousand Cankers Disease on walnut please contact your local county cooperative extension office or contact the Invasive Species Hotline at 1-866-253-7189 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Great Lakes Early Detection Network App Ohio State University Extension. Ohio State University Extension has released a new app for spotting and tracking invasive species -- non-native organisms such as Asian carps, purple loosestrife and Asian longhorned beetle -- to try to keep them from setting up beachheads and hurting the economy and environment. By using the free Great Lakes Early Detection Network app, a person can take pictures of suspected invasive species -- whether of farm, forest or water -- and upload the pictures and locations for verification. Based on this early warning, scientists can send out alerts, map the spread and figure out a battle plan.

In the year 2000, the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota was finally granted the professional hockey team that they had been waiting for when the Minnesota Wild came to town. The northern city, already known for its love of the sport had been waiting for years to get their own professional hockey team and when the Wild arrived; they were welcomed with open arms by the city of Minneapolis and quickly became the heart of this Minnesota city.
However, it wasn't only those living in Minneapolis that embraced the new NHL team; thanks to several notable players and a unique fast-paced playing style; the Minnesota Wild soon began capturing the attention of fans from all over the league and quickly became one of the most popular young expansion teams of their group. Although they are one of the younger teams in the NHL today; the Minnesota Wild have already proven themselves within the National Hockey League and they have already shown that they are a team to be contended with season after season.
During their short time as an organization the team has already made several play off appearances and had numerous successful winning seasons. They have also had several big athletes on their roster including players like Andrew Bruntette and Marian Gobrik. Even though the Minnesota Wild are members of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference; one of the most competitive divisions in the NHL; they have still managed to find a great deal of success and remained a team to watch every time they take the ice.
For those looking to see the Minnesota Wild and their exciting playing style live; they can get Minnesota Wild tickets to see them play in Minneapolis. However, spectators looking to see the Wild play live will want to act with urgency when buying their tickets. Even though the team's home arena, known as the Xcel Energy Center can hold more than 18,000 fans for every home game; it will sell out fast. In fact, to date every single Minnesota Wild home game in the history of the organization has sold out. For those who are able to get Wild tickets; they can rest assured that when this team takes the ice in their home city; they will be treated to the roar of thousands of fans, ready to get 'wild' and cheer their team on to another successful season.

The patient is a 9-year-old girl who presented with a two-year history of abdominal pain, increasing abdominal girth and fatigue. On physical examination she was Tanner stage 0 with palpable abdominal masses.
A CT scan revealed multiloculated, multicystic masses arising from the pelvis to the level of the umbilicus and ovarian in origin. She underwent a laparoscopic decompression of the cysts together with biopsy of the cyst wall. The cytology was benign and the cyst wall was diagnosed as "luteinized follicular cysts" with a diagnostic note that since the cysts were large and bilateral, a non-ovarian endocrine effect was possible. After two months, the ovarian cysts recurred larger than before (CT scan, Figure 1) and were removed laparoscopically. These cysts were diagnosed as multiple luteinized cysts with prominent granulosa cell layer. Outside expert consultation was sought because of the clinical concern of their rapid recurrence. The expert consultant diagnosed the cysts as "multicystic juvenile granulosa cell tumors". The in-house diagnosis was amended accordingly. Four months after her initial presentation, a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Post surgery she was started on chemotherapy (Cisplatin, VP-16 and Bleomycin). At the time of her first chemotherapy administration she was noted on admission to have symptoms of clinical hypothyroidism including dry skin, obesity, cold intolerance, constipation and short stature.
An endocrine panel was performed which confirmed her to be hypothyroid.

She was started on Synthroid.
The specimen from her bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy consisted of a 6.4 x 5.2 x 3.1 cm, 49.0 g, multicystic left ovary (Figure 2) with a 4.7 cm X 1.0 cm tan-pink edematous segment of fallopian tube with edematous fimbriae and a 7.5 x 5.5 x 3.0 cm, 71.0 g, multicystic ovary with a 5.0 cm x 1.0 cm, edematous and congested pink-gray segment of fallopian tube (Figure 3). The surfaces of both ovaries were white, gray and smooth with a few focal hemorrhages. The cut surfaces showed large multiple tense cysts containing light yellow and clear fluid. The walls of the cysts varied from thin to fairly thick. The cut surfaces of the solid component of both specimens showed tan-light gray, glistening tissue and focal dark red hemorrhages (Figures 4 and 5). A few of the cysts had a bright yellow lining.
Both ovaries revealed a thin serosal lining and an expanded and edematous cortex with some stroma with relatively small numbers of primary oocytes (Figure 6). Luteinized stromal cells were seen occasionally throughout the ovary. Many cysts, some of which had a thickened and an expanded granulosa cell layer surrounded by a thicker interna with some luteinization occupied the ovaries (Figure 7 and 8). In some of these areas, there was a relatively prominent apoptotic rate and scattered mitosis (Figure 9 and 10) and the lining stained intensely for CD99 (Figure 11) and inhibin (Figure 12).

Tomato Sauce for Southern Italian Lasagna
Yesterday for Christmas dinner we had Neapolitan Lasagna because that is what Dan wanted for dinner. He loves it when I make anything Italian. I have been working on the vegan ricotta cheese substitute for some time now. This last batch of ricotta was the best yet. Dan has already asked me to make more lasagna this weekend for him to take in his lunch this week. Here is the tomato sauce I made to use with the lasagna.
Tomato Sauce for Southern Italian Lasagna
Makes 8 ½ cups – nutrition is per 1 cup
1 red onion, peeled and finely minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
½ cup water
1 carrot, grated
30 ounces tomato sauce
28 ounces diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
½ pound seitan crumbles
Water sauté the onions and garlic until soft. Add the remaining ingredients bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced (about 60 minutes). Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce is the texture you like. I prefer mine to be nice and thick as pictured above.
Nutritional Information (per one cup):
Amount Per Serving
Calories - 96.01
Calories From Fat (7%) - 7.03
Total Fat - 0.81g
Saturated Fat - 0.13g
Cholesterol - 0mg
Sodium - 629.5mg
Potassium - 597.25mg
Total Carbohydrates - 14.72g
Fiber - 3.55g
Sugar - 7.15g
Protein - 9.56g
This sauce is flavorful, slightly sweet from the carrot and spicy from the red pepper flakes. It has a meaty chew from the seitan crumbles. This sauce would also be excellent with spaghetti.
Each cup of this sauce contains approximately 1,200IU of vitamin A, 50mg of calcium, 30mcg of folate and 6mcg of selenium.
Unrelated note:
I will try to get the lasagna recipe posted tonight before dinner but I need to get into the kitchen soon and get to work on dinner. I should be able to get the lasagna recipe written while dinner cooks on its own.

A meaner, faster version of MySQL, dubbed solidDB for MySQL, is now in general availability (GA). Co-built by MySQL AB and Solid Information Technology, it cuts response times, boosts scalability, and processed 2x more transactions than Oracle InnoDB, say benchmarks. Under the covers, solidDB for MySQL consists of the MySQL Server, MyISAM storage engine, solidDB storage engine, and a high performance on-line backup utility. solidDB for MySQL is a product, and includes exactly the same code as the generally-available MySQL Server and can be accessed with MySQL drivers and tools that have been developed by MySQL AB and the MySQL community.

Posted Thu Jun 14th by Jon Heath
Remind me to never get on Joe May's bad side. Otherwise, I could end up looking like the Chiefs' Tony Moeaki.
Chiseled Broncos' middle linebacker Joe Mays has a 250-pound frame and the reputation of being a "thumper," entering his third season in Denver, and he has a message for the rest of the NFL.
"We're going to be a lot more aggressive this season," Mays told media members after practice at Dove Valley on Thursday. "We all remember the Orange Crush defense from back in the day, we're going to try and become that."
Mays doesn't have to improve much when it comes to being able to crush an opponent, but the defense as a whole has to improve if they're going to emulate Denver's dominating 1970s-through-early-1980s defense that led the team to Super Bowl XII in 1977.
Last season, the Broncos defense ranked 22nd against the run. In '77, the team ranked 1st in the league.
"You've heard the saying, it's true, the defense, we win championships," Mays said. "In order for us to win games, the defense is going to be a little more consistent than we were last year, be a lot more aggressive and just make plays."
Mays and the Broncos are about to enter a six-week stretch of no organized team practices until training camp starts up in late July. When the team returns to the practice field, they'll work to be ready in time for their Sunday Night Football season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 9th.
"(When we come back), we're going to continue workings towards our common goal of trying to be a Top 5 defense in the NFL. We're trying to make it to the championship game, and we're out here working each and every day to prepare for that, and I think we'll be ready."
During the offseason, the Broncos have worked hard to improve the defense — kicking things off by hiring Jack Del Rio, one of the most respected defensive coaches in the game, as the new defensive coordinator. Since then, the team has acquired safety Mike Adams, defensive tackle Justin Bannan, cornerback Drayton Florence and cornerback Tracy Porter through free agency, drafted defensive lineman Derek Wolfe, cornerback Omar Bolden, defensive lineman Malik Jackson and linebacker Danny Trevathan in addition to re-signing defensive lineman Jason Hunter, linebacker Wesley Woodyard and Mays. Lastly, the team signed several defensive college free agents.
Clearly, the team is committed to improving on defense. For the Broncos, improving will start in the trenches — and they've got the beef needed to plug some holes this season.
On the defensive line, Hunter, Wolfe, Bannan, Robert Ayers, Ben Garland and Sealver Siliga have all played inside and outside, giving the Broncos flexibility to their rotation that is expected to feature Elvis Dumervil, Ty Warren and Kevin Vickerson this season. According to Dumervil, camp competition has been fierce, with Siliga performing "tremendously."
Behind the line will be Mays and his fellow linebackers, a unit that helped Von Miller become the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011. "(Miller and I) are always competing to see who can get to the quarterback first," said Dumervil after practice Thursday. Last year, Miller and Dumervil combined for 21 sacks and shared sacks on over half a dozen occasions.
Joining Mays and Miller will be Woodyard, D.J. Williams (who is facing a six-game PED suspension) and Trevathan, who has been starting with the nickel defense in practice. In the secondary, their will be tough competition, with the jobs of cornerback Champ Bailey and safety Mike Adams the only positions not up for grabs.
Porter, Florence and Bolden will be competing with returning starting nickel cornerback Chris Harris and Syd'Quan Thompson. "Nobody in the secondary has a job except for Champ Bailey, and that's obvious, everybody else is just competing for playing time," Florence stated in May.
At the back-end of the secondary, Adams presumably will be joined by either Rahim Moore or Quinton Carter — both second-year players who will be competing for a starting gig all summer long. Moore admitted earlier in the month that he was "antsy" at times during his rookie season after being unjustly fined in the preseason for a clean hit. "I was trying to avoid losing money and being penalized," said Moore, who failed to meet the team's expectations in 2011, possibly due in part to being fined by the league. The team's other option, Carter, started in ten games last season and recorded 56 tackles. "I made a few plays last season but I left a lot on the field," Carter said in May, "going into this season, I think my expectations along with my coaches are very high."
Whether it's Moore or Carter, Porter or Florence, Denver's secondary is looking to get the job done and help the team win games. "We're working towards that," remarked Carter.
With all of that said, I dare not prevent Mays from having the last word. "(Teams) are definitely going to attack the middle of the defense, whether it's running up the middle or trying to get a couple of quick passes up the middle, trying to test us linebackers. I just say bring it on. We're definitely going to be ready."

The numbers are horrifying, staggering. Media outlets all over the country have repeated them ad nauseam: "100,000 to 300,000" children are at risk for being dragooned into sexual bondage in the United States each year. Each year! It beggars the imagination. Problem is, imagination is about all that number is based on. As a recent article in Village Voice Media's series on sex trafficking has already demonstrated, that number isn't derived from anything resembling hard statistics.
And yet it is just that number that many in the media have used as a cudgel against other media outlets that carry adult advertising. One of the leading crusaders against this nonexistent epidemic has been Amber Lyon of CNN, who, after helping shame Craigslist out of the adult-ad business, has now found another target: Backpage.com, the online classified site owned by Village Voice Media, parent company of OC Weekly.
In a column that appeared in this week's print edition of the Weekly, Tony Ortega, editor of our NYC sister paper The Village Voice, points out that Lyon's shortcomings as a journalist go beyond basing incendiary reports on bogus numbers. Indeed, it seems that, in her zeal to put a stop to this imaginary scourge, she has gotten a bit too close to one of her main sources.

We received RG 23s in 1975 with similar serial number range to this one's 461000 number. This is the most popular of the RG rimfire revolvers, the RG 23 that is a true swingout and whose cylinder stays attached to the yoke and operates simply by pulling its ejector rod. The less expensive RG 14 mate had a pin that came completely out into the operator's hand. The RG 23, however, has a true ejector star just like a Smith & Wesson model 34. Type is double- and single action swingout revolver with transfer bar safety device that protects against discharging if the revolver is dropped. Construction is blue steel cylinder, main barrel, hammer, trigger, and internal parts built into a semi-gloss black pot metal frame with upper barrel shroud or rib and sight that is also pot metal. Barrel length is 3 3/8 inch; most of these had 1 3/4 inch barrels. Grip frame is semi-square butt, where the mate RG 14 was more of a true round butt revolver. Cylinder holds 6 rounds of .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle cartridges. This RG 23 comes to us from a local estate, and we do not believe it has been fired at all; or 6 to 12 rounds at the most, attest the lack of carbon on the cylinder face. This RG 23 is in its original box with blue warranty statement and factory manual and exploded view. Its factory direct parts list prices replacement cylinders at $7.50, hammer at $2.00, and many parts at 40 cents apiece plus $2.00 shipping. The retail price of $38.36 is still neatly written on the edge of the box lid. When RG Industries fell victim to the Sarah Brady lawsuit and closed up shop in 1986, wholesale pricing was about that figure. In 1976, these were still in the $20 wholesale price range. This one is excellent throughout, near mint in our estimation, and its photos should confirm that call. Mechanically, it is as excellent as it ever was. The RGs, after all, were cheap guns, not good guns. The RG 23s were pretty good little revolvers, so long as a person stayed away from CCI Ammunition, especially hyper velocity like stingers. If someone actually wants to fire this nice old cheap gun, we'd recommend standard velocity ammunition. It is very attractive and, on our view, eminently collectable. We're offering the RG 23 Revolver in the photo for only $ 189.00. Not transferable to civilians in California, Chicago, District of Colombia, Massachusetts, or South Carolina.

Building a Green (Mini-ITX) PC
This video shows the construction of an energy efficient PC that uses only around 20W of power. For those who are interested, a build list is as follows (updated slightly from the video due to technology and avaialble components having moved on). I've hyperlinked the components to Mini-ITX.com where I got them from, but there are plenty of other suppliers. Intel D525MW motherboard with integrated 1.8GHz dual core Atom processor. NOTE: I actually used a D510MO motherboard with an integrated 1.66Ghz dual core Atom processor, but this is no longer (widely) available, so I would use a 525MW in any new build today. Mini ITX case 3320 (no manufacturer stated. Includes PSU) 2GB DDR3 1333 SODIMM for 2GB of memory (I used two DDR2 667 DIMMs and you will need these if you use a D510MO motherboard. However, the D525MW takes SODIMM DDR3 memory, and it is cheaper to reach 2GB with one DDR3 SODIMM rather than two, which also leaves expansion capacity). 40GB Intel X25-V 2.5in SATA II Solid State Disk. You could use any standard-height 2.5" disk drive to reduce the cost of your build. But the SSD is nice, and this Intel one is fast and not that bad a price. The only other things you need are an operating system -- I used Windows 7, but as so many people have told me, a version of Linux costs nothing and suits this build to the ground if you don't need to run Windows apps (which I did). You'll also need a keyboard, mouse, monitor and patience. The white surface to build the thing on is optional! Good Luck! Return to: Videos Homepage.

The Valley of the Moon`s Children Center
- La Paz
- Volontariat
- Für die menschliche & institutionelle Entwicklung
- Mit behinderten Kindern oder Erwachsenen
The Centre values the local Aymaran culture and traditions, welcoming families whose first language might not be Spanish and employing women who wear a range of clothes, from westernised jeans to traditional Aymaran clothing such as the "pollera" (traditional skirt) which too often is not allowed in the Bolivian work place. We also take in children with special needs such as those with down syndrome, hearing impairments, behavioural problems and physical difficulties. These children are often rejected from childcare centres in Bolivia.
What we do
We provide high quality, low cost friendly preschool educational and health services for poor and vulnerable children, aged 6 months to 4 years, in Mallasa and the surrounding villages.
We work with local families to promote the well being and rights of children in the home and in the wider community – for example facilitating workshops on good parenting and non-violence.
We give skills training to mums and families to help them get jobs and increase their family incomes giving them the opportunity to escape poverty.

He also noted efforts by various organizations to aid the immigrants and address the abuses.
