Cover for KLIPPAN Two-seat sofa
Sahara Brick Polypropylene designed by CoverCouch
About the product
Cover for IKEA KLIPPAN Two-seat sofa Sahara Brick. Red raises a room's energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you're only in the room after dark, you'll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant. Red, the most intense, pumps the adrenaline like no other hue. It is the most popular color choice among men in home decorating.

Care instructions
Liquid Stains: Blot the liquid stain gently with a high-absorbent material. Pat dry the area gently with a dry material to remove the remaining humidity (cotton cloth, paper towel, etc.). If the stain from the spill remains, remove the stain with a soapy cloth without diffusing the stain. After each rubbing motion, refresh the clean soapy cloth in order to prevent soiling. Solid Particles: Remove the excess soiling with ultimate care without diffusing. Remove the solid particle from the fabric surface with the help of a soft spatula. To remove dust, use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush. The remaining stains should be removed by rubbing with a soapy cloth in circular motion. Ball-point pen and similar difficult stains: Dampen a clean cotton cloth in a white soap solution. Rub the stain off gently. Clean the surface with the damp cloth and leave the fabric for drying. Alcohol derives, Petroleum and alkali based solvents should not be used for cleaning. After all cleaning processes, the drying should be done with a low temperature blow dryer in large circular motion or the fabric should be left for natural drying. After drying, mis-oriented and damaged piles should be fixed with a soft brush.
Machine wash at 40°C. Don't use chlorine bleach. Tumble dry at low temperature. Cool iron. Keep away from direct sun.

Yes, visitors commented on our new sofas and were amazed to hear that they were the same Ikea KARLSTAD sofas but with new covers. Easy to replace - it took me about 30 minutes for each sofa - and look just as good if not better than the product pictures. Highly recommended.

I like the cover very much! It was a surprise that the material was velvet. But I didn't request samples first so that is fine. The craftsmanship is good. It looks well made and fits nicely! After a while it has become loosen across the front. But I still like it. The world is not a perfect place. :)

Diabetes is a difficult condition to live with. DailyGossip.org now publishes a complex review to a new, effective program that promises to cure diabetes fast and easily. The Reverse Your Diabetes Today program will eliminate this condition forever
Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/23/2014 -- Reverse Your Diabetes Today (RYDT), is the answer to the prayers of all those diabetic patients who have been told that there is no permanent cure to their disease and there's no going back to a normal routine life for them now. With the help of RYDT they can discover 100% natural remedies to treat and fix their ailment without the use of harmful medicinal drugs and painful insulin injections. This e-book specifically designed to aid diabetic patients has been put together by Matt Traverso in collaboration with Dr. Robert O. Young. Matt is a renowned diabetes expert and medical researcher while Dr. Robert is a diabetes specialist.
What is diabetes and how is it caused?
Diabetes (also known as Diabetes Mellitus) is a metabolic disease in which a person's blood glucose (or sugar) level increases to a high level. The increase may be caused by either the pancreas not producing the adequate amount of insulin or the body's cells not responding properly to the insulin produced by the body. The most common types of diabetes are Type 1 DM and Type 2 DM. The basic symptoms include increased needs of urination, thirst and hunger. However, in the worst case scenario diabetes can even lead to heart, kidney and eye problems or damage. The main factor which contributes towards the development of this disease in an individual is the adoption of an improper and unhealthy life-style including unhealthy diet, obesity and lack of exercise. Thus, obese or overweight people are more susceptible to diabetes.
How can diabetes be cured?
There's no permanent medical solution for diabetes available in the market. Those diagnosed with type 1 DM are required to take daily insulin injections for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, they need to stick to a very strict diet and undertake regular blood tests. Those suffering from type 2 DM may be able to suppress the effects of the disease temporarily with the help of medicines and a particular lifestyle. However, their condition deteriorates with the passage of time. Moreover, some medicines can also cause the blood sugar level to step down to a very dangerous level.
RYDT is a step-by-step guide that encloses all natural remedies that can be used to eliminate the diabetes disease completely from its roots within 3 weeks from the human body. It includes valuable information regarding how one can control his or her blood sugar level without the use of medicinal drugs or painful needles. The program illustrates to the patients exactly what diet they should adopt, and what harmful food products they should avoid. Furthermore, it includes a set of exercises specifically designed for diabetic patients which would not only help them get rid of the disease but would also help them shed all the excess fat and feel much healthier than they did before.
RYDT has several benefits to offer its users including but not restricted to the following:
- A healthier life-style
- Life-time riddance from diabetes
- No harmful side-effects
- No painful treatments and injections
- No more sugar level worries
About Reverse Your Diabetes Today
As of now, the program is available for only $27 with a 60-days money back guarantee. Moreover, the program comes with three free bonuses, namely; Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, 10 Deadly Healthy Myths of the 21st Century and The Big Book of Home Remedies.

Canonical wants to experiment and they should. I don't understand what's wrong with it.-mahesh2k (July 05, 2012, 03:41 PM)
There's nothing wrong with experimenting as long as you don't insist large portions of your user community
Where Canonical really wants to go is fairly obvious. They want a piece of branded hardware, and will probably introduce one within the next year. Once they have that, you can expect Ubuntu to drop support for regular desktop users. They'll keep their server because they are now offering their own cloud solutions. But Shuttleworth is firmly convinced the future lies in tablet devices so it's only a matter of time before Ubuntu shifts its efferts in that direction.
Apple got where it was today by customizing a borrowed OS core and building their own proprietary device to run it. Why can't Ubuntu do the same?Apologies if I sound so cynical towards Ubuntu. It's only because I am.
Choose Ubuntu Classic when logging in and you won't have to deal with Unity. It will be like nothing changed. (that's what I did)-app103 (July 06, 2012, 11:04 PM)

ESA successfully launches new monitoring satellite
BERLIN (AP) — The European Space Agency said Friday it has successfully launched the first in a series of satellites that will form the nucleus of its new Copernicus monitoring system, which is aimed at providing better and quicker information about natural disasters and other catastrophes.
The Sentinel-1A satellite, which lifted off on a Russian Soyuz rocket launched from French Guiana late Thursday night, unfolded its antennae and locked them into place early Friday morning and has been accurately placed into orbit, the agency said.
It and five other satellites, which will be launched in the coming years, will collect data and share it with ground stations for immediate distribution where it's needed, such as government ministries or even local rescue workers.
They will carry out a broad range of tasks, including monitoring oil spills at sea, assisting in ship routing, and providing information on disasters like forest fires, landslides, floods and volcanic eruptions.
The Sentinel-1A will initially communicate directly with ground stations based in Europe.
Next year, however, ESA is due to put into place a stationary space-based hub through which the satellite can relay information using a new ultra-fast laser data transfer. That means that even when the satellite is out of sight of a ground station when orbiting on the other side of the world, it will be able to provide data quickly through the hub, which can then be relayed back almost immediately to Earth.
Francois Auque, head of space systems for Airbus Defense and Space, which developed Sentinel-1A's radar, called the launch the beginning of a "new era in Earth observation."
"With the satellite's powerful radar instrument — the heart of the mission — and its all-weather and round-the-clock capabilities, Airbus Defense and Space is making a decisive contribution to even more effective operational Earth observation that will benefit humans and nature more than ever," Auque said. "The instrument will also deliver unprecedented data to scientists."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT student-athletes Keri Dixon and Leslie Hansen were recently named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District 1 Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Dixon, Tech's starting goalkeeper in field hockey, and Hansen, a four-year member of the women's tennis team, were honored as part of the At-Large category, which encompasses all NCAA sponsored sports without a specific award. Both were tabbed to the Third Team All-District.
Dixon, a native of Bethlehem, Pa., was a First Team All-Region and All-Conference selection this past year, after helping lead MIT to its first ever New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Division III Championship. Dixon recorded a 1.54 goals against average, one of the best single-season marks in Institute history, while starting every game in net for the Engineers. Also a two-time Academic All-Conference team member, Dixon carries a cumulative GPA of 4.5/5.0 as a Mechanical Engineering major.
Hansen has put together one of the most impressive resumes in program history over her four year career. A four-time qualifier for the NCAA Individual Championship, Hansen has a career singles record of 82-17 and is 17-3 so far in 2009-10. She is a two-time All-America selection and has seven NEWMAC All-Conference nods, four times in singles and three for her doubles play. Hailing from Fairfax, Va., Hansen will graduate next month with a degree Mathematics with a minor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and has a cumulative GPA of 4.5/5.0.
In addition to Dixon and Hansen, senior swimmer Jeff Zhou was a First Team All-District honoree in the Men's At-Large group. As a First Team pick, Zhou will be placed on the ballot for the Academic All-America team, to be voted on and announced next month.

Green Mountain surges. But why?August 2, 2012: 10:41 AM ET
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) issued some decaf guidance. But that didn't matter to investors. Shares popped nearly 30% Thursday morning even though the company provided a near-term earnings outlook Wednesday that was less than stellar. It appears investors are excited to hear that the company is boosting its inventory ahead of what it hopes will be strong demand next year.
That's dangerous. Many companies have been burned by boosting inventory in anticipation of demand that doesn't materialize. The big move up in Green Mountain looks a lot like a classic short squeeze to me. It appears that a similar squeeze is taking place with First Solar (FSLR) Thursdeay morning. But short covering may only provide a temporary jolt to the stock. Keep in mind that David Einhorn and many other shorts have been targeting Green Mountain with good reason.
Investors should probably wake up and smell the coffee. Starbucks (SBUX) remains as much a fierce competitor to Green Mountain as much as it is a K-Cup partner. What's more, recent earnings from Stabucks and Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) were about as appetizing as a stale cup of Sanka. For more on Green Mountain, check out today's Buzz video below.>

Prison sentences reduced in Bolshoi attack
MOSCOW (AP) — A Moscow appeals court on Thursday lightened the prison sentences of a Bolshoi dancer and two accomplices for their roles in an acid attack on the ballet's artistic director.
Sergei Filin lost much of his sight as a result of the January 2012 attack.
Pavel Dmitrichenko, a Bolshoi soloist, was convicted in December of organizing the attack and sentenced to six years in prison. The Moscow City Court on Thursday reduced his sentence by six months to 5½ years.
The sentence for Yuri Zarutsky, who splashed the acid in Filin's face, was cut to nine years instead of 10, while his driver, Andrei Lipatov, had his four-year sentence cut in half to two years.
Convicts in Russia can apply for parole after serving half of their sentences, but their appeals can be denied for a variety of reasons.
All three convicted in the Bolshoi attack were arrested in March 2013, so they already have served the first year of their sentences.
The trial often focused less on the defendants' roles in the crime than on Filin's management of the ballet company, where infighting has raged for years. As part of his defense, Dmitrichenko cited several incidents in which dancers were driven to tears by the artistic director.
Dmitrichenko testified that he had never intended for Filin to be so seriously injured, but said he accepted "moral responsibility" for the attack.

ROCHESTER � Preserving the rural atmosphere of the agricultural zone while avoiding overregulation was at issue during last week�s Planning Board meeting.
As board members continue working on comprehensive rezoning, they discussed what type of side setbacks should be set for lots in the agricultural zone. A setback is a distance between a property�s lot line and a structure within that lot.
The current ordinance incorporates 25-foot side setbacks in agricultural zones, meaning that a property owner would not be able to build a side garage or shed within that 25-foot buffer without a variance from the city. Previously, Planning Board members considered changing those side setbacks to eight feet, as they keep working on comprehensive rezoning.
In a 5-4 vote on Monday,Oct. 15, however, board members settled on incorporating 10-foot side setbacks, but not before a lengthy discussion.
�One of the points we�re trying to make is being as least restrictive as we can with people�s land,� said David Walker, City Council representative to the Planning Board.
He said he would be OK with side setbacks being as small as five feet in the agricultural zone. That way, property owners would be able to place structures on the side of their houses without having to instead revert to building in the rear of their homes, where many also keep their septic systems.
Planning Board member Stephen Martineau, on the other hand, said he�s concerned about property owners building close to their neighbors� land in the agricultural zone.
Tim Fontneau, who also serves on the Planning Board, said having such small setbacks in the agricultural zone would go against the land use master plan, on which the comprehensive rezoning project is supposed to be based.
He said when the master plan was being developed about 10 years ago, one of the biggest priorities for citizens was preserving the rural and agricultural atmosphere in the city, as well as the scenic roads overlooking open spaces.
Fontneau said for him, the ideal side setbacks in the agricultural zone would be 25 to 35 feet. Planning Board member Rick Healey said with larger setbacks and other regulations, property owners would end up paying taxes on property that has a lot of area they can�t build on.
�That�s not fair, taxes themselves are not fair,� he said.
At the suggestion of Planning Board Chairman Nel Sylvain, board members voted and approved new setbacks that would come to light as part of the new zoning ordinance � 10-foot side setbacks, and 20-foot front and rear setbacks for the agricultural zone. Now the zoning ordinance incorporates 35-foot front setbacks, 25-foot side setbacks, and 50-foot rear setbacks in the agricultural zone.
Once the Planning Board completes the comprehensive rezoning project, the proposed document will go before the City Council, and the council will vote to approve the final document after having an opportunity to make any changes. Public hearings on the project will also be held.
After it�s approved, the comprehensive rezoning plan, which has been in the works for about 10 years, will replace Chapter 42, the zoning chapter, of the city�s general ordinances.
During Monday�s meeting, board members also discussed potentially rezoning some areas of the city from agricultural to Residential 1, which would by definition consist mostly of single-family homes. This week, the Planning Board will meet to continue looking at the zoning map and determining which zoning district should be located in which areas of Rochester.
Planning Board members will also be tasked with deciding which areas are most fitting for multifamily homes such as apartment buildings. Previously, a Residential 3 zone had been a part of the rezoning plans, and that zone would have acted as a buffer between the more dense residential zones and the agricultural zones. Residential 3, which has been removed from plans a few months ago, would also have been the zone where multifamily homes would be primarily situated.
With removal of Residential 3 zone, a question arose on Monday about whether multifamily homes would be fitting in agricultural zones.
�I�ll adamantly oppose any multifamily in the agricultural zone,� said Fontneau, who is also the vice chairman of the Planning Board.
Planning Board member Derek Peters agreed, saying the board should ensure that multifamily homes are only located in the Residential 2 zone.

LEBANON -- The Lebanon Fire Department Corporation will again hold its annual "Toys for Lebanon Kids" campaign.

Toys are collected at various drop off points in Lebanon through generous donations.
Collection points can be found at these area businesses: Salmon Falls Cafe, Profile-State Line Super Store, Batchelders Sales and Service, Hometown Mobile, Lebanon House of Pizza and Welch's Hardware all located on Carl Broggi Highway. You can also drop off donations at the Town Hall during normal business hours and at the East Lebanon Fire Department located on the corner of Depot Rd and Upper Cross Road.
Each year this program distributes large bags of toys to dozens of families that have children that range in the age of newborn to 16. To add your children to the list you can pick up an application at the Town Office during Business Hours, stop at the East Lebanon Fire Station on Saturday or Sunday between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon or any time you see the chief's car there. Or you may go on line to https://www.lebanonmefire.org/Home_Page.php and print out the application.
The deadline to return applications is December 20th. Toys will be distributed to the applicants on December 22nd at the East Lebanon Fire Station between the hours of 1 PM to 3 PM.
For more information you can contact Chief Wood at 207-457-3922 or email him at email@example.com.

Cambridge, Mass. – The madness has begun for the four MIT varsity crew squads, who are preparing for their biggest competition of the fall season, this weekend's historic Head of the Charles regatta.
The Head of the Charles, which marks the only weekend in which all four varsity crews will compete at the same regatta, is the world's largest two-day rowing event. The regatta will feature several different disciplines and levels of competition.
Saturday morning will be an opportunity for graduates and alumni of MIT to get back on the Charles. Men and women alumni squads will also compete in alumni eights and the women from MIT's Grad Rowing Club will compete in Club Fours.
In the afternoon session, club eights will be raced, and MIT crews will send second varsity squads into the mix. The men will send out a boat of both heavy and lightweight team members, while an openweight team will race for the women.
The Head of the Charles was established by the Cambridge Boat Club, based on the tradition of "head of the river" races run in England, and was first raced on October 16, 1965. "Head" races, a class of regattas, are generally three-mile long boat races against each other and the clock, starting sequentially approximately fifteen seconds apart. Winners of each race receive the honorary title of "Head of the River" or, in this case, "Head of the Charles."
Over the past 46 years, the Head of the Charles regatta has grown tremendously. Today, more than 8,000 athletes from around the world compete in 55 different race events. The Regatta grew to a two-day event in 1997 and now attracts up to 300,000 spectators during the October weekend.
The MIT Pierce Boathouse is one of several host facilities for the Head of the Charles Regatta. Many guests will boat out of MIT, including crews from England, Holland, and the Czech Republic, as well as some visiting American rowers.
Below is the itemized schedule for MIT related participation in the Head of the Charles. A schedule for the weekend and more information about the event can also be found at the official site, here.

JetBlue Ready to Go Upmarket

Jack how I how much of a sea change is this sound mixing metaphors marry their ... power to see changes this for JetBlue ... it is a big deal ... because it's really see ... the further segregation of Caroline Street JetBlue ... as for the stock in the middle as ... some of ... the flag carriers like American United and Delta go through bankruptcy ... and a shed consummate become bigger and better ... and I and meanwhile you've got the lower end carriers like Spirit and Allegiant were making a lot of money ... but basically stripping out all the perks ... JetBlue wonderful stock in the middle ... and out ... today with this announcement is signaling that it wants to go along to more premium ... for an century you would ... bring some numbers into it to where ... you still how I was five or six years ago ... they're they're revenue was relatively small the earnings were about one of ... the Number three per member ... now the road is much larger but the profit is still the same ... right ... yes as my colleague Susan Carey wrote today's Journal ... JetBlue has no still turning profits annually but ... just marginally ... the revenue ... the band two thousandthree was about one billion in May and about a hundred and three million dollars profit ... last year they earned about a hundred twenty million dollars in profit on five billion in revenue so ... what's happened is that these bigger airlines have consolidated become better ... and these other smaller airlines are taking away some of their ... more than leisure customers who are or ... are on a budget ... JetBlue is losing market share ... is this ... you'll also find out that they know the look to pull customers are unhappy with the airline ... to get high marks ... there was any kind of backlash on this ... I it's un clear this is going to be a rather ... small portion of their flying it's gonna be just flights between New York and Los Angeles in New York and sentences go ... granted these are the most lucrative ... and the busiest routes in the U S airline the street ... aam but ... I think they're still going to stay focused on their core leisure travelers a lot of which they fly between New York and Florida ... I and they also are making improvements to their coach ... cabins as well ... so ... they're still go the focus of user customers but they realize that in order to really compete ... with some of the bigger airlines and a half to have a more premium products ... when you think that premium product is still going to be sort of a jet Blue discount product in other words are they going to be charging the same kinds of prices for the seats as the legacy airlines are charging ... that's a good question and what they've said is ... that out there going to be for a middle ground between what they currently charged for of coach seats ... on transcontinental routes ... and what the United and Delta of the world charge on these ... ah for the premium seats which are in the thousands of dollars they will say they're going to be ... a more physically more budget premium seat ... but that goes back to the problem with JetBlue ... they offer a it in some ways premium coach product and now it's going to be a premium ... on first class from it ... but they don't charge may be enough for those seats and that's why they've had ... on the revenue profit ... rise ... one is a QP at the blue chips right ...

IthacaCollege Office of Public Safety
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Cabinet
Response Procedures
Latest Rev.: Jan. 10, 2008
General Information
Ithaca College has implemented a Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) program following the American Heart Association and NYS Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines call for automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be installed throughout campus to ensure greater public availability. The earlier someone in cardiac arrest receives treatment (i.e., CPR and/or AED shock), the greater his/her chance of survival. The PAD guidelines recommend that an AED be readily accessible for use within 3 minutes from anywhere on campus.
Currently, OPS has one AED in two marked patrol cars and in one EH&S truck.
AED Cabinet Security
To provide the public with access to the AEDs, they must be left loose in unlocked cabinets. Each cabinet is equipped with a high-pitched local alarm that sounds when the cabinet door is opened and is silenced upon securely closing the door.
In addition to the local alarm, the cabinet doors are wired to immediately send an "emergency 911 notification" to Public Safety Dispatch in the same way that blue-light telephone calls are received (e.g., "Campus Center AED," "Textor AED," etc.) via the telephone display.
The cabinets also bare the following message - Notice: Removing this device alerts Public Safety. Also call 911 to report location.
AED Cabinet Activation Response:
The following are the OPS procedures for responding to AED cabinet alarms:
a)All AED cabinet activation alarms received at dispatch must be treated as an actual medical emergency.
b)Dispatchers will notify patrols and EH&S (if available) to respond to the location of the AED cabinet activation. The Dispatcher will also immediately notify County Dispatch - 911 to request EMS response.
a.In most cases, the medical emergency will not be at the exact location of the activated AED cabinet because a person will typically take the AED from the cabinet and bring it to the victim. Dispatchers will need to provide specific information about the exact location of the emergency, condition of person, etc., to responding officers and EMS agencies as it becomes available.
c)Responding Patrol Officers in vehicles equipped with an AED should take that AED to the scene as well.

On December 31, 2009, three provisions of the Patriot Act expired, creating a perfect opportunity for Congress to examine the Act and its infringement on the rights of U.S. citizens. However the House and Senate rejected an alternative proposal called the JUSTICE Act that would bring in more checks and balances and add long overdue civil liberties protections and instead renewed the expiring provisions for 60 days. Time is running out and so on February 3, 2010, a broad coalition of allies are going to D.C. and they would like you to join them in flooding the halls of Congress in protest of the Act.
Amid the climate of fear and uncertainty that followed the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President George Bush signed into law the Patriot Act, expanding the government's authority to secretly search private records and monitor communications, often without any evidence of wrongdoing. Many believe that the legislation threatened privacy, intellectual freedom, and sanctioned racial profiling. And more than seven years after its implementation, many more believe there is little evidence to demonstrate that the Patriot Act has made America more secure from terrorists.
The provisions that are set to expire relate to roving wiretaps that allow authorities to monitor an individual instead of a particular phone number, a business record provision that allows investigators to seize "any tangible things" deemed relevant to a terrorism investigation, and the "lone wolf" provision that allows authorities to monitor terrorism suspects not connected to any specific foreign terrorist group or foreign government. But there is hope that this moment can be used as an opportunity to amend other parts of the Act. According to the ACLU this must include,
National Security Letters (NSLs): NSLs are secret demand letters issued without judicial review to compel internet service providers, libraries, banks, and credit reporting companies to turn over sensitive information about their customers and patrons.
Material Support Statute: This provision criminalizes providing "material support" to terrorists, regardless of whether they actually or intentionally further terrorist goals or organizations. Intended as a mechanism to starve terrorist organizations of resources, it has actually undermined legitimate humanitarian efforts such as asylum claims and charitable contributions.
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act of 2008: Originally passed to allow the government to collect foreign intelligence information, Congress changed the law to permit the government to conduct warrantless and suspicion-less dragnet collection of U.S. residents' international telephone calls and e-mails in the fight against terrorism.
Even with it cloaked in secrecy, government reports reflect a rapidly increasing level of surveillance and Department of Justice Inspector General reports have revealed misuse of NSL and other aspects of the Act. Moreover, several federal courts have found parts of the Patriot Act unconstitutional.
Add your voice to the demand that Congress uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of its citizens.

- 1 Tblsp. olive oil
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 2 cups ½water
- 2 -14 ounce ½cans chicken broth
- 3 inch russet potatoes peeled and sliced 1/4thick
- salt and pepper
- 4 cups kale stems removed, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup cream
- Heat oil in a dutch oven and cook sausage until it begins to shrink and brown slightly.
- Remove from heat, drain with a slotted spoon and save the sausage.
- Cook onion in the sausage drippings until translucent.
- Add garlic, pepper flakes, and cook one minute more.
- Add water and broth, stir to loosen any bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Add potatoes, salt and pepper if desired.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer 10 minutes.
- Add kale and sausage, simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in cream, heat through and serve.
Terri's Notes
- Feel free to adjust the "heat", mild sausage works great, and red pepper isn't for everyone.
- I use milk. Sometimes I thicken it slightly with a bit of flour, to give it the richer texture the cream would.
- 3 cups of potatoes, can use reds or goldens and you don't even have to peel them.
- Try Kielbasa, your favorite sausage, or turkey sausage!
- Never be afraid to talk to the produce man and take home something new! He can give you suggestions as to how to prepare it too.

I DO believe in the big bang theory
You don't have to believe in big bang theory. There is no point to do that. It's the same as to say i do believe in e=mc^c or m1*m1/r^2 and you know what? m1*m2/r^2 isn't true, e=mc^c isn't either
Oh and good point about the purpose of life.
Btw, Einstein didn't like the idea of Big Bang at all, did you know that Big Bang idea were created by a priest, and he said that the universe were created.

Mannion, Sutton and Dugandzic named Pac-12 players of the week
By the Pac-12 Conference
WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- Quarterback Sean Mannion of Oregon State, defensive tackle Will Sutton of Arizona State and punter Kyle Dugandzic of Arizona have been named Pac-12 Players of the Week in football.
Mannion, a sophomore from Pleasanton, Calif., completed 29-45 passes for a career-high 433 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-35 win over Arizona. He engineered a 10-play, 75-yard game-winning drive in which he went 6-6 (connecting with five different receivers) for 52 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown strike with 1:09 remaining that provided the winning margin. His 433-yard passing performance represents the fifth-highest single-game total in school history. Mannion, who is the first sophomore team captain in the history of the program, has now thrown for career-highs in back-to-back games after racking up 379 passing yards against UCLA on Sept. 22.
Sutton, a junior from Corona, Calif., was a force on the defensive front, collecting a career-high eight tackles (six solo), including three sacks, and forced a fumble in a 27-12 victory over California. He wreaked havoc in the Cal backfield, notching four tackles for loss (27 yds.) and a quarterback hurry, and was instrumental in ASU's defense holding the Bears to just 285 yards of total offense. Sutton's 1.30 sacks per game average is tied for second in the Pac-12 and ranks eighth in the FBS. His 2.0 tackles for loss per game average (10 total) ranks second in the Conference and ninth nationally.
Dugandzic, a senior from Agoura, Calif., punted five times for 234 yards (46.8 average), including a career-long 70-yarder late in the third quarter that pinned the Beavers at their own five-yard line, in a 38-35 loss to Oregon State. He placed a single-game career-high four punts inside OSU's 20-yard line and served as the holder on all five of the Wildcats' PATs. His 44.9 gross punting average ranks third in the Pac-12 and 18th in the FBS.
Also nominated for offensive player of the week honors were quarterbacks Taylor Kelly of Arizona State and Brett Hundley of UCLA, running backs Ka'Deem Carey of Arizona, Isi Sofele of California, Kenjon Barner of Oregon, and Bishop Sankey of Washington and tight end Zach Ertz of Stanford. Also nominated on defense were defensive backs Avery Sebastian of California, and Rashaad Reynolds of Oregon State and linebackers Trent Murphy of Stanford, Damien Holmes of UCLA and Thomas Tutogi of Washington. Also nominated for special teams play were punters Josh Hubner of Arizona State and Keith Kostol of Oregon State and wide receiver/punt returner Steven Manfro of UCLA.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
We believe this model's rack is either owned and operated by a group of fashion thugs in New York City, or a small alien nation just outside of Boise, Idaho.
To be quite honest, the jury is still out on that one folks.
The truth is we are not entirely sure if this cleavage actually belongs to the human race, or the same twisted group of mad scientists responsible for genetically engineering other virtual female anomalies like Grace Jones, Sinead O' Connor, and RuPaul.
In fact, if it was possible for a pair of shoes, a bottle of vodka, and a pair of glasses to have a love child – we are convinced that this chick would be the product of that eccentric orgy.
What we can tell you is that this Boise alien type thing has made a few cameo appearances in some music videos for artists like Massive Attack, Young Jeezy, and Nicki Minaj, as well as done a PSA or two for the NOH8 Campaign.

Honrath Receives 2006 Research Award
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
Richard Honrath, whose work has helped shed light on some of the fundamental processes behind atmospheric change, has been selected to receive Michigan Tech's 2006 Research Award.
Honrath, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, was most recently honored for his efforts to establish--and then give away--the PICO-NARE atmospheric research station in the Azores.
Honrath spearheaded the construction of PICO-NARE (stands for Pico International atmospheric Chemistry Observatory-North Atlantic Regional Experiment) in 2001. The sauna-sized observatory sits atop Mt. Pico, the highest point in the Azores and the only spot in the mid-Atlantic where the air is high enough to escape the effects of the ocean environment.
This has made it a perfect place to measure pollution drifting from North America. Since PICO-NARE was built, is has been generating a stream of data on atmospheric pollution, and in its five years of existence, two surprising discoveries have come to light.
First, far more of the greenhouse gas and air pollutant ozone is being generated by the population centers of the Atlantic Seaboard than previously believed. And secondly, forest fires play a much greater role in atmospheric chemistry than anyone imagined.
Honrath and his colleagues measured large spikes in carbon monoxide drifting over the Azores and determined that they had originated in wildfires from as far west as Alaska and even Siberia. The fires had generated even more CO than activities such as industrial pollution and tailpipe emissions.
"You might think that it's amazing that natural things can pollute, but these wildfires might not be strictly natural," Honrath says. "Fires have increased, and this increase is probably related to global climate change, because the summers are hotter."
Research Chemist David Parrish, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which funded PICO-NARE, praised both the quality of Honrath's work and the extraordinary efforts he made to engage in it.
"Richard literally is willing to go to the ends of the world to conduct the science that he views as important," Parrish said. Despite the obstacles posed by the PICO-NARE site--"no road access, no electrical power, no facilities of any kind"--Honrath created a remarkable observatory and equally remarkable research, he said. "Richard's data sets and resulting papers have had a strong impact on our understanding of long-range transport of air pollutants," said Parrish.
In June 2006, Honrath arranged to transfer ownership of PICO-NARE to the Azores, with the goal of establishing it as a permanent observatory.
Scientists anticipate that the station will eventually be part of Global Atmospheric Watch, a United Nations-sponsored network of more than 20 observatories worldwide that provide high-quality atmospheric data.
Before his work on the Mt. Pico summit, Honrath focussed his attention on an even colder, lonelier place than Mt. Pico: Greenland, where his work sparked an entirely new line of scientific inquiry.
"Richard has made a very high impact on the field of polar atmospheric chemistry," said Eric Wolff, principal investigator for climate and chemistry at the British Antarctic Survey. "Indeed, I would say that he spawned an entire industry."
Honrath and his colleagues discovered that the snow in Greenland was giving off the key ingredients of smog: NO and NO2, collectively known as NOx.
"We were measuring way higher than what we expected," Honrath recalled. "We found two to three times as much NO and NO2 as we should have, and 10 times as much in the snow."
After leaving the tailpipe, NOx turns into nitric acid in the atmosphere and then precipitates out in rain or snow. Thus, when Honrath and his team started studying Greenland's snow and ice, the scientific community expected the air to be free of NOx and the snow to contain nitric acid.
As it turns out, they found NOx coming out of the snow instead. Sunlight reacts with nitric acid in snow and turns it back into NO and NO2, changing what was thought to be a permanent sink into a source of new NOx.
And that doesn't happen only in Greenland.
"We did a study in Ahmeek," Honrath said. In the Keweenaw as in Greenland, snow was giving off NOx too, by the same process.
NOx is highly reactive in the atmosphere, so the team's discoveries have precipitated numerous other studies. "It gets chemistry going in the atmosphere that's the same as in a place where you have tailpipes. It's become a whole field that has taken off," Honrath said.
As for receiving the Research Award, "It's really nice to be recognized for what you work hard on," said Honrath. "Everyone has been really appreciative of everything we've done, and it's great to know that people think you're doing something useful."
Neil Hutzler, professor and chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, nominated Honrath for the Research Award. "Richard has been a leader in promoting research at Michigan Tech, and the research he's done has given us international visibility," he said. "His work puts him in a pretty select group of scientists."
"He also contributes to the department, and he provides leadership to new faculty, particularly regarding what it takes to conduct a successful research program," Hutzler added. "Plus he has an excellent group of students working with him, and he gives them quite a bit of responsibility. Richard is an example of a good researcher who is also a good teacher."
Honrath said his success is due in part to the nature of Michigan Tech. "Working among departments is easier here than elsewhere," he said. "That's why the atmospheric sciences program is so successful."
Honrath came to the university in 1992. Since then, he has received over $3.1 million in support of his atmospheric chemistry research program. He has authored or coauthored 36 journal publications, which have been cited over 1,000 times; in particular, his 2002 paper on the photochemistry of the Greenland snowpack was named a "hot new paper" by the research analysis firm Thomson Scientific.
The Research Award carries a cash honorarium of $2,500.
