Waiting for the Recovery with Oven-Fried Onion Rings
My theory has it that the higher the frequency of onion rings ordered, the better the economy is doing - and more importantly, the better people are feeling. You just don't order onion rings any old time, mainly because they're a side dish you have to pay extra for. You have to take a moment for some self-negotiation before ordering onion rings.In those few seconds of contemplation, much is revealed. Can you afford it? Does your current mood and situation warrant this crisp indulgence? Onion rings are also ordered when good things have happened; you order them after you get a raise, after a hole-in-one, after a new high bowling score. Happy people spend more money.
I will continue to monitor the national O.R.C.I. for you, and will be sure to let you know when these tough times are over, but until then here's a video recipe for making onion rings at home.
I don't really deep-fry at home, and neither do most people, so when I find a recipe that does a reasonably good job at producing something close, I jump on it quick. This onion recipe is easy, low-fat, and if you use the recommended Panko breadcrumbs, produces a light and crisp onion ring. Enjoy!
2 egg whites
2 tbsp milk
pinch of cayenne
1 yellow onion, sliced, separated into 1/2-in thick rings
1/2 cup flour, seasoned w/ salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3 to 4 cups Panko, Japanese-style breadcrumbs
vegetable oil spray

This looks good. My question is, if I make them this way, can I put them in a fryer or do I need a different coating?

i've never tried, but assume they would be fine.

I think buttermilk instead of regular milk would be good too, also, I happen to have some in the fridge.

The biggest problem with oven-baked onion rings is that the coating does not brown evenly. The part of the onion not touching the pan never seems to brown. To avoid this, you might consider adding the panko to a skillet with a tiny bit of oil and "dry fry" the breadcrumbs until they turn brown. Then, you can use the browned panko to coat the rings like normal and then bake. They do not brown much more in the oven -- even after baking for several minutes. When prepared this way, they taste even better and are wonderfully crispy.

Low Fat foods usually alter specific ingredients so the fat content is reduced. Like Low Fat Milk,. These are low fat due to the changed process. That's the genius of our dear friend, Chef John. He's devised a way to make something that is normally very high in fat and came up with something that has minimal fat. Weight Watchers should hire him as a consultant!

You used the "old seperate through your hand method"?! Mine? Jeez, you got to warn me when you do that Chef... I almost got fired.
I was wondering where all of these onion rings came from...

This is great! I'm constantly craving o-rings but I don't do deep-frying at home. One question from the video: do you spray the baking sheet prior to placing the o-rings on it, or just spray the rings after placing them?
Thanks Chef!

Actually I alwaays thought that onion rings were the poor people's version of calamari rings and such.
Also if you make then breadcrumbs yourself with stale bread (in my house we used to get lots and lots) you can get somet thicker than usual breadcrumbs like panko.
Left over bread, cheap onions. Great cheap food.
- March 21, 2009 at 11:45 AM
Hey Chef Jon...panko is still pretty rare here in Madrid...and when you find it it's like 5 bucks for a small bag...so my question is...is there a way to make a reasonable facsimile of it myself...
Thanks for any tips..

so what do i do with a spare egg yolk?
- March 23, 2009 at 4:36 AM
- Chef John said...
just make fresh slightly larger bread crumbs and toast lightly before using.
- March 23, 2009 at 9:59 AM
looks delicious!
- March 24, 2009 at 2:26 AM
My bread crumbs clumped up instead of coating the onion rings evenly. How do i prevent this?
- May 22, 2009 at 10:58 PM
- Chef John said...
not sure. you saw what i did, did you do it the same way? maybe it clumped as you handled it. lighter touch maybe

so happy to find this recipe ... love onion rings, but the frying makes it a no-no for me... Chef John to the rescue ~ could i just ask you a favor, your Chefness? would you please say: pahn instead of pan? the Japanese pronunciation of bread is pahn even tho' it's spelled pan. ko means child or offshoot, so the crumbs are an offshoot of the bread. thank you, then maybe others will learn of the proper pronunciation.

These were AMAZING!! Used vidalia onions. As a non-lover of onions, I was worried about the taste and consistency. However, they tasted just like fried without all the grease. Thank you SO much; these will become the new go-to side.

Hey everyone looking to make these. They are very easy and take around 10 mins to prep, also they are kinda bland, so i will incourage this dipping sauce found on this web page ignore the onion ring recipe and go down to the sauce its great

Not sure!

I have made this recipe a few dozen times now (thanks, Chef John!) and have found that using the whole egg works fine, I can never taste the cayenne (so I don't use it anymore), and the texture of the panko is better if you put it in a food processor to reduce the crumb size. We love these with a dipping sauce that is 50-50 mayo and prepared horseradish (the only ingredients should be horseradish and vinegar).

Chef, the crumbs just didn't stick to the onions properly, they slid right off them, so I had to pile them on and they were still partially coated. They were still awesome though!

If you want, you can prep the breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil, toss them until coated then apply to the onion rings. At this point seasoning is most efficient so that it sticks better to the food. This will give an overall browning to the surface. Also, I might flip them half way through cooking and either bake on the bottom rack so the browning is best on the bottom of the onion or top rack and browning is best on the top of the onion.

I love these onions. I made them in fall 2017 as onion rings as per the recipe and to the letter, and on Memorial Day as blooming onions. Yep! As for the coating, I have made an alteration, and it is something I learned on the fly while camping and had to make-do, to get the coating to stick; I used dried egg-white. I cut open and flower-cut the onion, and then let its juices come out a bit, then dipped it into the dried egg-white the way you'd use flour to coat. Doing this, the egg-white dries hard, and quite quickly, so after dipping the onions into the egg powder, then into milk then panko, it all stuck together before putting into the oven. Presto! It really was awesome. Making more now, in fact, which prompted me to re-see the recipe and hence post the experience. I douse up the coating mixture with ground, mixed pepper corns, smoked paprika and just a tad of horse radish cream to the milk coating rather than the dip, as we don't use dip for these. All in all took a good hour after baking was finished before we could enjoy these. Thank you Chef John!

With yesterday's crazy day of game releases for Windows Phone, the popular (and free) Temple Run was released to mostly mixed reviews. Forgetting the fact that Temple Run 2, which is arguably way better, just came to iOS in January, Temple Run for Windows Phone is lacking in a few areas. For instance, no Xbox LIVE support, the Tile pinning to the Start screen was blanked out, some stuttering issues and no support for devices with 512MB of RAM.
Well, version 1.5 was just pushed out and guess what? At least the Tile has been fixed.
Users who update will need to unpin and re-pin the game to the Start screen, but upon doing so they will see the proper Tiki icon on their screen. Unfortunately, there is still no support for 512MB RAM devices, though that may be addressed later.
You can pick up and/or update Temple Run here in the Store. Windows Phone 8 only. Thanks, Naveen, for the tip!

Evelyn Goldman knew her 50-yearold furnace was running on borrowed time.
It wasn't running efficiently: some areas in her Vancouver home were kept toasty, while other rooms literally gave her the chills.
Still, she wasn't prepared for what her annual maintenance checkup discovered. Her furnace was emitting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, which were highest in her daughter's bedroom.
"It had to be turned off immediately," says the marketing consultant. "We could have gone to sleep and not woken up."
Cases like Goldman's are why regular furnace maintenance is a must and why homeowners should take note when their old systems are conking out. Spending money on a new system cannot only save hundreds on heating bills, but it can also save lives.
Still, with the hefty price tag that often comes attached to new heating systems, some people are hesitant to make the investment.
"People are more than willing to spend thousands of dollars on cars, kitchens, bathrooms and things they can see, but as rule, they don't think about their furnace until it breaks," says Dan Douglas, owner of Dr. Heat and Air Limited in Calgary. "They're not going to go and buy a new system when their old system will do because they don't realize the value. It just sits in the basement and out of sight, out of mind. Nobody's going to take their friends down to their basement and say 'Hey, look at my system.' "
But if they did, they would notice that the latest systems are so hightech and sophisticated that not only can they save up to one-third on energy costs a year, but in addition to providing the ultimate in home comfort, they're improving air quality in your home and the environment.
"In Canada, they have to be Energy Star qualified," says Douglas. "Meaning they are at least 90-per-cent efficient. These give homeowners more bang for their buck. Normal older furnaces can only be 50-per-cent efficient and half your energy is going out through your roof and into the abyss."
Bill Reid, president of Reid Brother Plumbing and Heating Ltd. in Vancouver, says furnaces have come a long way, not only in energy efficiency but in their operational design.
"If terms of air distribution, we're seeing variable-speed blowers on furnaces," says Reid. "So if a furnace is designed to run at 1000 (cubic feet per minute), it will deliver exactly 1000 CFM. In older ones, that wasn't the way it was."
This improved technology in motors means homeowners can run their heating systems at a fraction of the cost.
"You have continuous air for pennies whereas it used to cost considerably more," says Reid. "Plus, it reduces greenhouse gases."
In addition, newer systems are basically self-regulating and running. With these new systems, homeowners never have to fiddle with the thermostat again.
Now, outdoor temperature is factored into the appliance. So after homeowners set their ideal indoor temperature, the system is aware of the weather outside and runs appropriately and efficiently depending on how cold or warm it is outside.
"It'll start at 40 per cent of the input rating and say within 10 minutes if the house is not satisfied, the furnace will step it up to a higher level depending on the outdoor temperature," says Reid. "The best heating system is one that you don't know is on or off. It's just there. Whereas with the old appliances, we're constantly walking over to turn the thermostat up or down. With the new appliances, you never have to touch them."
The filters within the newer heating systems are also improving, reducing dust and other allergens in the home.
Demetri Rousakos, a gas fitter/ technician with Extreme Air Systems in Toronto, says the newer five-inch filters catch more particles and have to be replaced less than the standard one-inch filters.
As a general rule, Rousakos says a one-inch filter should be changed every one to three months, while a five-inch filter can last up to six months. Or better yet, an electronic filter need only be washed, and it may even tell the homeowner when it's time to clean it.
Goldman says a red light comes on when it's time to wash her new electric filter and she has noticed a difference in the air quality in her home since installing it.
"There is less dust in the house," says Goldman. "It traps things people are sensitive to. My husband is asthmatic and he's noticed quite a difference in comfort."
Tips for an efficient furnace
- Get your appliance maintained and serviced yearly.
- Make sure your appliance is in-stalled correctly by a reputable professional. Up to 50 per cent of benefits of any new appliance can be lost if it is not installed correctly, says Reid.
-Change your filters regularly.
Did you know?
Natural gas prices have more than tripled in the past 10 years and many analysts are forecasting further price increases. Fortunately, the efficiency ratings of new furnaces have also been increasing. Most furnaces installed in the 1970s, '80s and early '90s, were only 60-to 70-per-cent efficient, and very old furnaces can be less than 50-per-cent efficient. A continuously burning pilot light can decrease these efficiencies by another five per cent. New furnaces are 90-to 95-per-cent efficient. They do not have pilot lights and can reduce your heating costs by up to 40 per cent.

She reacted, "You ought to think about that without my intro you would certainly not have actually had also that. Hence I schedule a finder's charge, which a right-thinking lady would certainly think about just correct. I additionally spent for your prep work, as well as you had a few of my clothing."
The website supplied a 'food selection' of solutions, and also I was stunned to see that she enabled rectal sex (for a supplement) and also 'orgasm in face', while less complex points (to my mind-set) like kissing were forbidden. The website likewise had her pricelist, and also I was stunned at the quantities she can regulate. When I saw that her cost for a complete weekend break mored than 3 thousand Euros, I scolded her for providing me just a thousand (obviously not stating the Jean's 'idea').
After that initial weekend break at Jean's lodge, Monique and also I came to be extremely open in all points sex-related. The website included lots of images of Monique in all kinds of outfit and also undress, from official dress to sports apparel as well as negligees. Various other images were of a naked Monique, although in imaginative positions that hid her vaginal canal.
My reply was to kiss her as well as ensure her of my gratefulness. I clicked on the web link, and also the lady is rather rather. She is for life making justifications for why she can not function, as well as several of my customers ask for 2 ladies at a time."
After that very first weekend break at Jean's lodge, Monique as well as I ended up being extremely open in all points sex-related. A GFE suggested a day that can include supper as well as dance, later on adhered to by sex.

Both sides of the gun control debate look to the Second Amendment to make their points.
But to understand the Second Amendment, and really all of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, one must read the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence rightfully states that men (and women) are endowed by their Creator with their rights — in other words, not by men or government.
If rights would be granted by men or government, they could be taken away by the same.
The Bill of Rights describes those unalienable rights for all people, simply by their being. The language of the text clearly indicates the rights are not to be infringed and should be protected by the government, but are not granted by the government.
That is why President Barack Obama calls the Constitution a document of negative rights. That is because he views the government entity and collectivism to be of greater importance than an individual's liberty and freedom.
As the gun control debate continues, we must remember it is not about controlling guns, but about controlling people, and government attempting to infringe upon our unalienable rights — rights never granted by the government in the first place.

Last Update: 01/21/2014
First keep in mind that the climate indoors may be quite different than that of the outdoors, and that indoor climate generally doesn't vary as much as outdoor climate.
You should expect to have some changes in the piano after your move, as the wood adjusts to the drier climate. The piano may go out of tune pretty dramatically. It may require a "pitch raise", and will probably not be really stable until it has been tuned at least two or three times, and spent at least a few months in its new home.
It may be that the soundboard may crack, and while that sounds horrible, it is not necessarily something that you need worry about. That is really only evidence as to the present condition of that piece of wood, being much drier than it was when it was first installed in the piano. The piano may perform without any appreciable difference in tone, even with several cracks in the soundboard.
There is one other area of concern for you, though, and that is in the area of the pin block, which is the piece of wood wherein all the tuning pins are driven. This is a block that is made up of several laminations of maple, many of them quarter-sawn, and cross grained, so to develop a tight grip on the steel tuning pins. If the tuning pins were not particularly tight before, they may get loose enough with the loss of moisture in the wood, to lose the ability to resist the pull of the string (160‑220 lbs per each string/pin).

Yep, folks, the audiobook version of Hardcore Zen is now available from the nice folks at CD Baby! Just follow the link below to get yours!
See what it did for Melissa? Here are a few more reasons to buy the audiobook:
• I have personally enhanced the audiobook! Now you don't just have to imagine what "Drop the A-Bomb On Me!" sounds like. You can hear it for yourself in the context of the story! And that's not all. There are plenty of other groovy enhancements as well!
• You may get an email directly from me! That's because track #9 is kind of screwed up. Until the replacement goes live, I'll be contacting everyone who buys the book and submits their email address to CD Baby to tell them where to get the fixed version. (The current version isn't horrible. It just has one short segment in which you can hear two Brad Warners reading instead of only one.) If you got the audiobook but didn't hear from me about the link, write me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
• I get way more percentage of the audiobook than I do from the plain old printed book! Wisdom Publications gives me something like 14%. So when you buy the book from Amazon or a similar discount site that nets me less than $1 per book after all the other mystery items are subtracted. But I get something like a 75% royalty from each $10 audiobook. Granted, this is more of a reason I want you to buy the audiobook than any real advantage of the audiobook itself...
• You get to hear me read the book in my own voice! Not only do I have a super sexy voice. But now you can find out what sort of tone I intended. I think a lot of people imagined I was screaming at them when they read that book. But I wasn't. I swear.
And thanks to everyone who participated in filming the new commercial "Melissa's Not a Loser Anymore!" (seen above) last night. These are the participants in my weekly Sunday night zazen thing at the Akron Shambhala Center in Cuyahoga Falls (every Sunday at 7pm!). They were awesome and very patient. Now I need to get myself a tripod and think of some more commercial ideas.

Earth : North America : Caribbean : Curaçao
Curaçao [10] is an island in the Caribbean, among the group known as the ABC Islands alongside Aruba and Bonaire. This trio is located near Venezuela, and are considered to be outside the Caribbean's so-called "hurricane zone." This means that vacations to the island are rarely disrupted by such tropical storms.
One of the most notable things about the island is its culture. This Dutch island features building styles you'd find in the Netherlands, but painted in beautiful pastel shades. However, the people of the island have developed a culture, and even a language, of their own. Papiamentu (also spelled Papiamento), is the island's native Creole. Papiamentu is a mixture of Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch, but with a very basic grammar. Official spelling has existed for only a few years.
The native language of Curaçao is Papiamentu, which is a richly unique mixture of Spanish, Portuguese, English, Dutch, African and other languages. Most people from the island speak this language in addition to Dutch, English, and Spanish. Almost everyone speaks English.
Get in
Those who want to travel by air can enter at Curaçao's airport [11], Hato International Airport (CUR). It is located in Plaza Margareth Abraham, on the North side of the island, not far from the capital of Willemstad. Services most International and regional carriers. To contact the airport by phone, call 599-9-888-0101.
Cruise ships arrive at Curaçao Mega Pier or the Curaçao Cruise Terminal. From these ports it's just a short journey to many of the island's popular tourist destinations. Travelers can also enjoy nearby shopping at duty-free stores. Larger ships will arrive at the Mega Pier, and smaller ships will dock at the Cruise Terminal.
Sailors can enter at ports in Willemstad and has various marinas which seafaring travelers can dock their ships.
Get around
By car
Cars can be rented for about $45 U.S. per day, from a variety of merchants at the Hato Airport and across the island. Driving in Willemstad is pretty similar to most Caribbean locations, with aggressive drivers, loosely enforced traffic laws, and driving on the right side. Signs will be in Dutch and European traffic markings. If you are involved in an accident, local laws prohibit moving your car. You'll need to dial 199 for road service. Do watch out for road hazards, such as donkeys, goats, and iguanas.
By taxi
If public transit isn't your style, and you don't want to rent your own car, taxis are another popular and easy-to-find option. They, too, are marked, and their plates read "TX." Some taxi drivers will even be your tour guide for the day, if you ask. But remember to agree on a fee before heading out.
By bus
There are two types of buses on the island, BUS. and Konvoi. The easiest way to ride is to go to one of the two bus stations in Willemstad. These include Otrobanda Station, located across the street from the Rif Fort (see Willemstad) and Punda Station, at the post office, across from the Circle Market. For the most part, the Punda bus station serves stops along the Eastern side of the ring, and to the East including Salina, Zelandia, Mambo, while the Otrobanda station serves destinations West of the Bay, to include the Airport, Piscadera and even Westpunt. The destinations do not typically overlap, so a 10-15 minute walk between stations may be necessary for cross island trips.
Unlike taxis, the BUS. prices are not negotiable (1-3 NAf), but the route is. A common practice with bus drivers is to negotiate how close the driver can take you to your destination. Be sure to ask the bus driver if the bus stops near your destination before entering. You can pay the driver while the BUS. is en route, or before exiting the bus. You can board a bus anywhere on the island by waiting at one of the ubiquitous yellow 'Bushalte' signs and waiving at a coming BUS. or Konvoi. Taxi drivers will also try to lure you in. So make sure to look at the sign in the window or a license plate (that says BUS.) to avoid paying high taxi fares. The bus schedule varies, from about 6AM-8PM for most stops, and until 11pm or even midnight (and sometimes later) to Salina and Mambo. If you are ever lost during daylight hours, just find a yellow bushalte sign, and the bus should take you to either Punda or Otrobanda.
By ferry
Ferries are a great way for shoppers to get to and from some of the island's main shopping areas.
Curaçao's beaches are concentrated on the southern coast, especially the western side. Find these from Rif St. Marie up to Westpunt.
The Dutch Antilles Guilder(also called Florin) is the official currency, but The Euro(€) and U.S. Dollar($) are readily accepted. Automatic teller machines are widely available throughout the island, and many machines will dispense Guilders and the U.S. Dollar. Currency can generally be exchanged at local hotels, casinos and places of business. The exchange rate is generally pegged to the USD and stable. It is unlikely for tourists to be taken advantage when changing currency, but it is best to be aware of the current rates prior to arrival.
There are a plethora of random shops and markets around Willemstad offering clothing, souvenirs, crafts, and other goods. These include a duty free "enclave" in the downtown area. Offerings emphasize European goods, to include excellent jewelry, timepieces/watches and linens, plus the usual collection of souvenir shops. A water front market lies nearby that's packed with fresh foods and flowers, best seen or shopped in the mornings.
On Sundays, however most businesses except restaurants in the city are closed.
Local cuisine in Curaçao is a mixture of European, West-Indian and East Asian (particularly Indonesian) flavours. Dutch influences are found in the use of cheeses, bread and seafood, which are also important in Curaçaoan food. Indonesian cuisine, a migrant from Suriname, another of the Netherlands' former colonies, can be found on the island, and explains the widespread availability of Sate and Peanut sauce along with the islands more Caribbean fare. Also, Chinese "snacks" can be found all over the island serving cheap Chinese food. They cater mostly to locals, but most serve good food.
Curacao is littered with 'Snacks,' small bar restaurants which serve Chinese Food. These are typically inexpensive, double as convenience stores and bars, and are typically open later than most other restaurants which cater to local (rather than European) patrons.
Bistro Le Clochard
Stay safe
Safety is not a big issue on Curacao. The locals are friendly, welcoming, and willing to give assistance. After all, a major part of their island's income comes from tourists. Just take normal precautions and use common sense.
Get out
Exiting Curacao will require you to pay exit tax not included in your flight ticket. about 34 USD for international flights and 2 USD for connections.

But while others may not have expected much from Chatfield, it certainly demanded something from itself.

Voters approved an amendment legalizing recreational marijuana use in Colorado on Tuesday, making this one of two states to end prohibition of the drug but also raising new legal questions and setting up potential court battles over the measure's implementation.
The historic result, projected by The Denver Post Tuesday night, drew raucous cheers and applause from the amendment's supporters, who gathered in hundreds at Casselman's in downtown Denver.
"We won! We won!" supporters cried as the results were splashed across a giant screen.
Amendment 64 led late Tuesday night with 53.3 percent voting yes and 46.7 percent voting no, with 1,863,535 votes or about 66 percent of active voters counted, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's office.

"This is really groundbreaking," said Beau Kilmer, co-director of the Rand Drug Policy Research Center. "No modern jurisdiction has ever removed the prohibition on the production and possession of marijuana for recreational purposes. ... Since no one has done this before, there are a lot of uncertainties."
Voters in Washington state approved a similar measure Tuesday; in Oregon a legalization issue failed.
The amendment will allow those 21 and older to purchase up to one ounce of the drug at specially regulated retail stores. Possession would be legal but not public use.
Adults could grow up to six marijuana plants in their homes. It also sets up a direct challenge to federal drug law, which regulates it as an illegal substance. Federal authorities have not said how they will respond.
"This demonstrates that the people of Colorado are just as smart as we thought they were," said Mason Tvert, one of the directors of the Yes on 64 Campaign. "They were fed up with prohibition and decided they want a more sensible approach."
Tvert and other supporters of the measure have said it will generate tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for state and local governments. They said it would shed light on the black-market marijuana industry and ultimately case dangerous cartels to wither.
Critics argued that passing the amendment would make Colorado a destination for drug tourists and prompt a federal crackdown. They cited concerns about increased use of the drug by children and more drugged driving.
Among the opponents was Gov. John Hickenlooper, who said in a statement Tuesday night that "the voters have spoken and we have to respect their will. This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don't break out the Cheetos or gold fish too quickly."
The smell of the drug wafted through the supporters' party at Casselman's Tuesday night. But state criminal penalties for possessing the drug won't disappear until the election is certified, which could take up to two months.
Questions about regulation and enforcement still abound. The first recreational stores would be slated to open in January 2014 and would be separate from existing medical marijuana dispensaries. Local governments could ban marijuana sales, and employers could still bar employees from using the drug.
The amendment doesn't spell out the details of how the commercial marijuana industry will be regulated. It leaves that up to the state Department of Revenue, which would oversee the specialty shops. Proponents envision something similar to the state's system governing medical-marijuana businesses, which involves security requirements, the monitoring of plants as they are grown and shipped and auditors who perform site checks.
"Colorado has a lot of work to do quickly in terms of setting up the appropriate rules and structures," said Rosalie Pacula, another co-director for Rand's Drug Policy Research Center. She noted that because the measure is a constitutional amendment, it will have to go back to voters for repairs if there are problems; the legislature will be unable to intervene.
The federal government's response is anyone's guess, she said, but it will likely be resistant. Other experts have said federal agents could arrest individual users where local authorities are not, though that would be a departure from their usual focus on large-scale dealers.
In the year before the first stores open, the federal government may choose to challenge the measure in court by arguing that it is pre-empted.
A spokesman for the Colorado U.S. attorney's office said only that the office would not change its approach to enforcement, which for medical marijuana has included ordering dispensaries near schools to shut down and raids on retailers who allegedly sell to the black-market.
"We are reviewing the ballot initiative and have no additional comment at this time," spokesman Jeff Dorschner said.
Allen St. Pierre, executive director of NORML, a national group that lobbies for legalization, said he has heard from friends and family already planning trips to Colorado for the "cannabis tourism" that will certainly become popular.
"That sort of enthusiasm is hard not to recognize right off the bat," he said.

Interview with Daniel James
I think Jaroslav and Takashi's contributions are well known, but which other developers have contributed to ALSA?
Abramo Bagnara was important team member for more than one year. He designed the initial version of PCM API for ALSA 0.9 and maintained several drivers. Frank van de Pol designed the sequencer API. The last team member is Clemens Ladisch who maintain the USB driver code, bt87x driver and does common code cleanups and hacking.
The other important contributors:
Paul Barton-Davis originated development of several drivers (wavefront, rme9652, hdsp) and actively discussed the ALSA APIs (mostly PCM). James Courtier-Dutton does work on new reduced Sound Blaster cards (EMU10KX, SB Audigy LS, Value etc.).
Grepping for MODULE_AUTHOR in the sources yields the following 57 names:
Abramo Bagnara, Alan Cox, Anders Torger, Andreas Mohr, Andrew Veliath, audio'at'tridentmicro.com, Bart Hartgers, Brent Baccala, Chris Rankin, Christian Fischbach, Christopher Butler, Clemens Ladisch, Creative Labs, Inc., David S. Miller, Derrick J. Brashear, Digigram, Eliot Blennerhassett, Francisco Moraes, Frank van de Pol, George Talusan, Giuliano Pochini, Hannu Savolainen, Haroldo Gamal, Henrik Theiling, James Courtier-Dutton, Jaromir Koutek, Jaroslav Kysela, Karsten Wiese, Laurent Canet, Levent Gündogdu, Marcus Andersson, Markus Bollinger, Martin Habets, Martin Langer, Massimo Piccioni, Matt Wu, Michael T. Mayers, Nicolas Pitre, Osamu Tomita, Paul Barton-Davis, Pilo Chambert, Rob Hooft, Rudolf Koenig, Scott Mc Nab, Stas Sergeev, Steve Ratcliffe, Takashi Iwai, Thomas Charbonnel, Thomas K. Dyas, Thomas Sailer, Tobias Gehrig, Tomas Kasparek, Tugrul Galatali, Ulf Carlsson, Uros Bizjak, Winfried Ritsch, Zach Brown
... but there are, of course, many other people who have contributed patches or privided hardware for development.
What's your background, and how did you get started hacking on Linux? At what stage did you become interested in audio?
Jaroslav Kysela I studied Computer Science at University of South Bohemia in Czech Republic. At university, in 1994, I discovered the Linux world and started working on http://www.perex.cz/~perex/ultra/∞ - The Linux Ultra Sound Project. From this time, I systematically evaluated and tried to push the Linux sound APIs and drivers forward. In 1999 I founded the ALSA project. Playing with soundcards was fun in first years and now, it is fun and full time job for me.
Takashi Iwai I studied Material Engineering at University of Tokyo in Japan, and used Linux during the research work of computer simulation. I started coding of the audio-related stuff when I casually received a SB AWE board that didn't work with Linux. As you know, having a non-working hardware is the great temptation to turn a good man into the dark side of programming :)
I don't remember exactly when I joined to ALSA. Was it 1999? I contributed the code for MIDI WaveTable support and hacked sequencer. Since then, I got involved more and more deeply with ALSA. It became my job now.
Clemens Ladisch I'm studying Computer Science at the Martin Luther University in Halle, Germany. I had been using Linux for many years but became interested in ALSA when my new SC-8820 USB MIDI device didn't work with Linux. Now my contributions to ALSA are mostly MIDI related, but the amount depends on how much free time I can spare.
Why do you think the OSS model failed to retain the interest of developers? Was it for technical reasons, or was it the split between free and proprietary versions?
We think that both reasons are correct. Technically seen, OSS is (was) a good system: It is small and simple. It was built in the initial phase using only information about the cheap consumer cards. However, it lacks the extensibility completely. This is a critical problem for the modern systems, and OSS could not be improved in this regard due to the proprietary version. Also, the split was not very helpful, because there are not many active sound kernel developers and they are working much rather on the fully open source project by nature.
It is a good question whether the commercial version was good or evil. It is true that Linux did have the "least" support for many devices thanks to commercial OSS. On the other hand, the existence of binary-only drivers surely demotivated the hardware manufacturers to open their specs and cooperate with the open-source projects like ALSA. Hopefully, the situation gets better nowadays.
At what stage did you realise that it was necessary to create a new sound architecture?
It was very early moment. We faced soon the limitation of OSS and needed the new infrastructure to achieve the better support of sound cards. That is the starting point of the development of ALSA.
We tried to define better APIs suitable for both consumer and professional audio / midi. We also had false ways in the beginning and the current (third or fourth) version of APIs is sufficient for most developers. Also, OSS API highly depends on the abstraction level defined with the simple API. We did many extensions, invented new ways which are now reused with OSS developers to enhance the original OSS APIs. Also, OSS APIs are strictly APIs between user space and kernel. Our "public" APIs are defined with new layer - alsa-lib which sits in the user space and this library will provide backwards compatibility and hide all changes in case when drivers will define new fresh interface for the user space. Also, we can do user space drivers (for example for Bluetooth, Firewire) etc.
Which vendors have been the most helpful with chipset specifications? Do other ALSA drivers rely on reverse engineering?
Receiving the chipset spec was a hard job in the early stage of ALSA development. We had to do reverse engineering more or less. IIRC, Trident was the first company as the cooperative hardware manufacturer. They contributed the driver code and gave the open datasheet. After that, some companies producing high-end audio cards like RME, M-Audio and TerraTec showed interest and provided us the datasheet and test boards for the support of many (but not all) of their products.
Nowadays we have good relationship with many hardware companies in the wide range from the motherboard chip manufacturers like Intel, VIA, ATI to the high-end audio manufacturers. The reverse-engineering is still sometimes necessary, but we're trying to avoid it as much as possible. It would be much better to contact with the manufacturer than shooting in the dark.
What are the barriers for free software driver development, now or in the future? Are FireWire interfaces a particular difficulty, or is it just that the manufacturers of these devices don't follow standards?
The most annoying barrier is presence of closed or restricted specifications. For example, you need to become a member when you need to legally obtain all information for FireWire. In our opinion, this policy should cover only hardware vendors and these associations should give all necessary information to write drivers for free.
Does the ALSA project include scope for audio-over-network devices, such as mLAN hardware? Or is this beyond the limits of what the project does?
Yes, we would like to cover all hardware and audio-over-network seems to be very interesting area. Unfortunately, mLAN is closed specification. Also, the question is, if the network layer in Linux is capable doing the lowlatency realtime operations in current kernels for realtime audio. Fortunately, we might try to improve situation, because we can work with the network linux code thanks to open source.
Has the purchase of SUSE by Novell made any difference to the work of ALSA developers? Is there any input into Novell's desktop Linux initiatives?
Our work has not been changed. At least for time being. Note that only Jaroslav Kysela and Takashi Iwai are SUSE employees. Other ALSA developers are working without SUSE sponsorship. Actually, there is no direct communication between the SUSE ALSA team and other projects in Novell. The most other people in SUSE take our code and we directly communicate mostly with the YaST team to provide good sound configuration for SUSE distributions. Also, Takashi maintains several audio related packages for SUSE distributions.

My Cupcake Habit
That is phenomenal! But how did you cut it without all the cream squelching out everywhere?
OMY this Victoria sponge is amazing!!!and georgeous and beautiful:)
Hi Kitchenmaid
The trick is to cut it straight from the fridge. Use a big knife and be bold!
Happy baking
This looks amazing! So neat and tidy too - my layer cakes never look that good, and that's even with just two sponge layers!
Wow! That is massive! I love your style, bigger is always better when it comes to cake:) This actually looks like the Victoria Sponge cake of my dreams as I don't like jam!
omg....get in my mouth!
Nom! x
What a wonderful sight to wake up to on a Monday morning! (I live in Hong Kong which is 7 hours ahead of the UK) Makes me happy for the rest of the week.
Wow what a tall cake! There is almost more cream than cake! Great save from the merignues
I'm so glad things like this happen to other people - fantastic recovery, though, the cake looks wonderful!
Stunning! A show-stopper of a cake!
Excellent choice! Sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do ;) Victoria sponge with home-made raspberry jam, fresh raspberries or both is my all time favourite.
I love your cakes - I'm going to make your honey & oat cake very soon. How do you get your sponge cakes so big - mine never look as impressive (or delicious) as yours xx
That's the best looking Victoria Sponge I've ever seen!!!!
OMG there's more cream than cake! My idea of a cream cake - wonderful. Bet it tasted great too.
Holy smokes, that cake looks amazing! Its many layers take my breath away - and so perfect for summer.
Wowzaas!! That's one impressive summery bake! It's so cheering seeing raspberries popping up on blogs... A sure fire sign summer is just round the corner (other signs include convincing myself a Twister ice cream is one of my five a day and enjoying anther bank holiday...)
That is an impressive looking sponge! You could name it a 'sky sponge' if you managed to get the 4th layer on top! :) Great save with the ingredients.
Wow, stunning cake! I'd love a slice of that - raspberries have to be my favourite fruit and one of the few that I actually enjoy cream with too.
wow - that's hoooooge ! :-)
This looks incredible - it's definitely a showstopper! I love getting to use fresh raspberries in baking during the summer.
This cake is really a whopper of a Victoria Sandwich. A lovely layered cake.
Now that's a sponge cake - yum!
Ahhh WOW! A beautiful cake, especially when made at the spur of the moment x
WOW that a rather mighty, pimped up victoria sponge! I love the depth of whipped cream in each layer.
Beautiful - I just found your wonderful blog via Pinterest - I'd like to follow you by e-mail but don't see the widget - would you consider adding that please - keep up the great work!!
oh ma è davvero bella..e buonissima!!beautiful end good!!

I'm nostalgic for old time simple generic product ad layout. I love these ads because the layout is completely functional. It's designed to show off the product. The products themselves are so much fun to look at that they don't need fancy layouts to distract from them.
I love the generic typefaces in the instructional text. The headings are much bolder and tell you the main point - they draw you in to read the smaller text. Hierarchy of importance and control of function and purpose. Alien concepts today.
Man, wouldn't you kill for this Howdy Doody skullless floating facial parts mobile??! What a great idea. I'd love to do this with some of my characters. Or my friends.
All this stuff is handsomely and carefully arranged with logic.
Package Art Layout
I sent away for this very ad and ordered all these breakfast eating accessories. You can't imagine the thrill I got when the package actually arrived in the mail. From then on I refused to eat breakfast in anything but my Huckleberry Hound Bowl and Yogi Bear mug.
I sent away for this very ad and ordered all these breakfast eating accessories. You can't imagine the thrill I got when the package actually arrived in the mail. From then on I refused to eat breakfast in anything but my Huckleberry Hound Bowl and Yogi Bear mug.
The covers of old cereal boxes had more design in the layouts. The whole image was designed to be bold and have a non-ambiguous shape that you could see all the way across the store.
Bold graphically expert fun images tell you that the product is very tasty.
Compare to today's layouts:
Compare to today's layouts:
Chaos Theory Layout
a lot of modern layout has no layout at all. Look how much harder it is to tell what you are looking at in this cluttered thoughtless box art. This sends a message that the food will taste like landfill.
Who is it that forces every box artist to put that crappy airbrush dirt all over the characters on every product? Is there some sort of Airbrush God that won't allow any variety in rendering cartoon characters? This style has to be the absolute worst way to render cartoons - ever. And it's all there is anymore! It takes all the cartooniness out of the image and makes the characters hard to make out. Somebody pleeeease explain this to me.
There's another theory of modern layout that drives me crazy - "book design". Ever buy a book about some vintage art, cartoons or toys because you actually like those cartoons and toys only to find out that the book has been designed so you never get a full image of any of the things you bought the book for? Or the images of the most intricately detailed toys are really small, and a tiny simple image is blown up far beyond what you need? Or there are acres of blank white space around tiny images and then 4 tons of text explaining to you why you should love these images that you can barely see?
That's layout that purposely competes for attention with the subject of the book or product , which is considered very stylish these days. I don't have any examples handy, but I'm sure if you are a collector, you've had this same frustrating experience.

Kitchen Trends for 2013
Kitchen trends to inspire
The Hub
Kitchens continue to be the hub of the home, and increasingly designers are opening them to other living areas. In renovations and new construction we're seeing few walls between kitchens, dining areas, and family rooms, so family members may easily interact with each other and entertain at home. In this Chicago-area home, designer Mick De Giulio positioned an island so those working there can see into the dining area and family room.
Seamless styling
Kitchens are gaining square footage and commanding a greater percentage of a home's footprint. This dominance and openness of the kitchen to the rest of the house, as well as the increased tendency to entertain guests in the kitchen, has boosted design and furniture styling, with integrated appliances (refrigerator, freezer and refrigerator drawers, dishwashers, trash and recycling centers behind cabinet doors).
Small and welcoming
A home doesn't need to be large and modern to have an open plan, as illustrated by this charming cottage where one side of the kitchen flows into a cozy sitting area.
Furniture details
Millwork, such as crown moldings, paneled doors, and mantel-style treatments on vent hoods, give a kitchen "living room" styling that blends comfortably with adjoining rooms.
Stand out islands
Islands often feature furniture styling. New Jersey designer Jim Dove embellished an island for the Mansion in May showhouse with paneled sides, tapered steel feet, and a mirrored toe kick for a modern twist on traditional.
Comfortable seating
Eat-in kitchens are another trend, with more homes including generously sized casual dining areas within or near kitchen space. Upholstered settees face an oval pedestal table in this Boston area kitchen designed by Liz Caan.
Room for all
Large tables paired with benches, upholstered chairs, and settees are ideal for family meals and for informal entertaining.
Atlanta designer Lori Tippin says her children love sitting on the antique bench in her kitchen.
Elegant and practical
A banquette covered in "pleather" backs the island of this Atlanta kitchen. Side chairs designed by Barry Dixon are covered in Ultrasuede, a surprisingly easy-to-care-for fabric.
Window seat styling
A banquette tucked between two windows offers soft seating and storage underneath in this Florida bayou home designed by Phillip Sides.
Space savvy
Built-in corner benches make good use of tight spaces and create cozy casual dining areas.
Dining room comforts
As more families hang out in and near the kitchen, comfortable seating is on the upswing. Upholstered chairs surround a round table in a sunny breakfast room near the kitchen of this Connecticut home.
Mix it up
The "living room" effect also has given rise to the introduction of more textures and design elements into the kitchen. Rather than a run of a single countertop material, designers are mixing things ups, with stainless steel by the stove or sinks, wood/butcher block, mosaic glass on a small chest, and different colors and types of stones within the same space.
Reflective surfaces
Mirrored refrigerators and backsplashes, along with polished and brushed stainless steel, reflect light for a dramatic effect.
Monochromatic tiles
There is less pattern in tile designs, with more tone-on-tone combinations or mosaics with a mix of similarly hued tiles. The effect is subtle and subdued.
Minimal ornamentation
Cabinet lines reflect a return to simplicity, with recessed panel doors and minimal ornamentation.
Out of sight
A desire for less clutter in the kitchen has driven an interest in having plenty of storage and places to conceal countertop appliances. Motorized doors in the Siematic countertops close over small appliances.
Latest in appliance garages
The coffee pot and other appliances are hidden behind motorized doors.
While simplicity is strong, another trend is adding measured doses of glamour, such as crystal chandeliers or large-scale nickel lanterns above an island.
Bit of bling
A crystal chandelier in a breakfast room adds dressy traditional details to an otherwise sleek, modern kitchen.
Bright touches
Other glitzy features that add sparkle to a traditional kitchen include antiqued mirrors and polished copper on backsplashes, cabinet door and refrigerator fronts, and even mirrored toe kicks (they reflect the floor).
Color trends
When it comes to color, white and variations on white are still the big sellers in kitchen cabinets, as are weathered finishes that make cabinets look imperfect and time-worn.
Pastel hints
Cabinets painted pale green warm this California cottage kitchen. Glass door fronts are popular in all styles—from cottage to contemporary.
Forever blue
Blue-and-white kitchens are perennial favorites, beautifully executed by designer Julia Kleyman in a showhouse in New Jersey.
Pastel hints
Designer Louise Brooks spices up her white kitchen with accents of palest aqua on light fixtures, small dot tiles in the range backsplash, and decorative plates in a floor-to-ceiling plate rack.
Open to the outdoors
In new home construction and renovations, more and larger windows are being installed in today's kitchens. Often windows flank the range and extend from countertops to ceiling, as in this Chicago kitchen by Mick De Giulio. French doors that connect the kitchen to a patio or deck are extremely popular, too.
Cupboard details
Upper wall cabinets are often designed to look like cupboards. Cabinet depths and heights vary to break the monotony of a running line of door fronts.
Pretty and practical
The traditional white-on-white kitchen gets a graphic kick with a valance and sink skirt fashioned by fabric by Barbara Barry for Kravet. Ice cream chairs are painted soft blue-green.

Are you at risk for getting Hepatitis B? Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. Approximately 2,000–4,000 people die every year from Hepatitis B-related liver disease.
The Hepatitis B virus spreads through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. People can also get infected by coming in contact with a contaminated object, where the virus can live for up to 7 days. Hepatitis B can range from being a mild illness, lasting a few weeks (acute), to a serious long-term illness (chronic) that can lead to liver disease or liver cancer.
The best way to prevent Hepatitis B is by getting the Hepatitis B vaccine, which is usually given as 3 shots over a 6-month period. You need to get all 3 shots for complete protection.
Medicare covers a series of shots for free if you're at medium or high risk for Hepatitis B. Your risk increases if you have hemophilia (a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn't clot normally), End-Stage Renal Disease, or certain other conditions. You may also be at a higher risk if you live with someone who has Hepatitis B or if you're a healthcare worker and have frequent contact with blood or body fluids. Ask your doctor if these shots are right for you.
May is Hepatitis Awareness month. To find out more about preventing and treating Hepatitis B, visit the Centers for Disease Control.
Also, watch our short YouTube video about Medicare's efforts to prevent and treat hepatitis.
