Why You Should Update Your Cleaning Products With Greener Optionsby Amanda Turner
While a clean environment is a priority for most people, it's not as common to think about how we're cleaning up. If you've used the same technique and products your entire life, it may be time to take a step back and make sure that you're using cleaning products that are healthy for yourself and the environment.
With the substantial amount of news on "best practices" to care for the environment, there's no reason to stick to our old ways. Here are a few reasons you should be using safe product in your home.

6/28/2013 - TriCARE Release
Understanding TRICARE health care options for National Guard and Reserve members can be confusing as it varies based on their duty status. When a member suffers or aggravates an injury, illness or disease while in a qualifying duty status, they may be eligible to receive care at the government's expense.
When activated for more than 30 days, Guard and Reserve members are eligible for TRICARE Prime. If a Guard or Reserve member gets injured or aggravates an existing injury or illness as a direct result of his or her duties during a period of activation less than 30 days, that Guard or Reserve member may be covered under line of duty (LOD) care or notice of eligibility (NOE) care for members of the Coast Guard. Weekend drill, summer training exercises and/or national disaster response are examples of activations for less than 30 days. For care received from a civilian provider, the Military Medical Support Office (MMSO) reviews the LOD/NOE case. For care received at a military hospital or clinic, the facility where care is received reviews the LOD/NOE case.

Airman Missing in Action From WWII Identified
The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a serviceman, missing in action from World War II, have been identified and are being returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
Army Staff Sgt. Marvin J. Steinford, of Keystone, Iowa, will be buried on June 21 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On March 24, 1945, Steinford, along with nine other crew members, bailed out of their B-17G Flying Fortress bomber over Gic, Hungary. It had been hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire while on a bombing mission over Germany. Steinford and another crew member were struck by small arms fire while parachuting into a firefight between Soviet and German forces. The remains of the other crew member were found after the war where they had been buried by Hungarian villagers. The remaining eight members of the aircrew were captured by the Germans, held as POWs, and released at the end of the war.
According to accounts gathered by U.S. Army Graves Registration Service personnel in the late 1940s, Steinford's body was seen beside a German tank near Gic, but no further details about his exact whereabouts were recorded. Growing tensions in Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe closed off further U.S. access to Hungary.
In January 2003, in an effort to develop archival leads in Hungary from the Vietnam War, Korean and Cold Wars and World War II, a U.S. commissioner with the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs met with Hungarian officials in Budapest. Additional follow-up in Hungary by a DPMO researcher began to uncover specific information related to Steinford's loss. A second DPMO staff member, assisted by Hungarian academics and researchers, discovered archives and interviewed villagers who related first-hand information about the B-17G crash. Shortly thereafter the U.S. Embassy in Budapest notified DPMO that a local cemetery director had information directly related to Steinford.
He related that during a 2004 excavation and transfer of Soviet soldiers' remains at a war memorial and grave site in the city of Zirc, Hungarian workers discovered remains with a set of identification tags that bore Steinford's name. The dog tags were removed and all remains were transferred to another site on the outskirts of Zirc. What was believed to be Steinford's remains were marked with the Hungarian word "Cedulas," [translation: the one with the tags] and reburied. The dog tags were returned to U.S. officials in March 2005.
From 2005 through late 2007, DPMO facilitated negotiations between U.S., Hungarian and Russian officials. Finally, in December 2007, the U.S. chairman of the commission secured agreement with the Russian first deputy minister of defense to allow a July 2009 exhumation from the war memorial site by specialists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.
Among other forensic identification tools and circumstantial evidence, scientists from JPAC used dental comparisons in the identification of Steinford's remains.
At the end of the war, the U.S. government was unable to recover and identify approximately 79,000 Americans. Today, more than 73,000 are unaccounted-for from the conflict.
For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO website at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo. Photos are available of Steinford and can be obtained by calling 703-699-1169.

Burger King Tag Teams With WWE, Target For Promo Starring Triple H, John Cena
August 16, 2010: World Wrestling Entertainment said it has signed a deal with Burger King for an in-restaurant promotion that will feature three of WWE's biggest stars: Triple H, John Cena and Undertaker. The alliance also includes activation with national retailer Target and Mattel and national marketing support.
Beginning Aug. 23, nearly 7,000 Burger King locations nationwide will offer plush toys inside BK Kids Meals featuring one of its three superstars. The promotion is scheduled to run through Sept. 12.
Marketing will be anchored by TV spots featuring the WWE players on such networks as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Disney XD. Support also includes Internet, POP via BK Kids Meal packaging and merchandise displays and a $2-off coupon at Target stores for WWE Mattel FlexForce action figures. The FlexForce line, which was unveiled in July at the Comic-Con Convention in San Diego, is being supported with its own national marketing for what the WWE is calling "the greatest WWE action figures in the history of the WWE Universe."
According to Burger King, the plush toys will play the individual catch phrases or entrance music of the respective WWE stars. A new item will be available each week during the three-week U.S. promotion.
"WWE is very excited to team with Burger King, a globally recognized brand that reaches millions around the world," Michelle Wilson, WWE evp-marketing, said in a statement. "WWE's family friendly product, which is seen in 145 countries, is a great fit with the Burger King brand."

When you go to a hospital or clinic, you expect everything to be not just clean, but spotless. Therefore, you might think we use tap water in the hydraulic system of treadmills that operate in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities because tap water is clean, so any incidental spills or leaks would be of little consequence. That's true; when it comes to environmental friendliness, it's hard to beat plain old water. But that's not why we use it.
We use fluid power because MRIs in clinical use generate powerful magnetic fields — typically 1.5 to 3 Tesla. Consequently, anything attracted by magnetic fields could be pulled toward the MRI's magnets. Furthermore, anything that can produce magnetic fields — such as electrical current flow — can interfere with the MRI itself. Therefore, the treadmill cannot contain any ferromagnetic materials or electrical components and must use non-conductive hoses and other components.
Obviously, we couldn't use electric motors or solenoids in the treadmill. That left us with a choice between hydraulics or pneumatics. Pneumatics was briefly considered, but issues with compliance (compressibility) and noise seemed too significant to overcome within application parameters. Therefore, hydraulics became the obvious choice. But hydraulic motors are usually made of ferrous metals, so those were ruled out. We then focused on stainless steel hydraulic motors and found that those that fit our application parameters were designed to use water as the hydraulic fluid.
Hydraulic drive
Typical exercise treadmills are powered by a variable-speed electric motor for the belt drive and a second electric motor for elevation control. Standardized multistage cardiac stress tests typically call for treadmill belt speeds starting at about 1.7 mph, with increases every 3 min to a maximum speed of 6 mph. Elevation begins at a 10% grade and eventually increases to a maximum of 22%.
The motor's operating speed ranges from about 500 rpm to more than 3000 rpm. As it turns out, torque requirements for this application are highest at the lowest speed and decrease steadily as speed and elevation increase.
This is a perfect application for a variable-displacement motor. However, we could not find any in the size range and the specific materials required for the MRI-compatible treadmill. The elevation actuation system for the treadmill was straightforward to design and source because stainless steel cylinders are readily available. However, finding a source for a stainless steel hydraulic motor to drive the treadmill belt was more difficult, and we could not find any with a variable-speed option. We chose a fixed-displacement, axial-piston motor constructed of stainless steel and high performance polymers. Supplied by Water Hydraulics Co., East Yorkshire, England, the motor is designed to operate with tap water.
The hydraulic system's power unit is located in an equipment room adjacent to the MRI room, shielded from the MRI critical environment. Choosing a prime mover and pump was the next challenge. Our fluid limited the pump choices to materials and components tuned to water, even though the equipment room has no limitations on ferromagnetic materials. A constant-speed electric motor coupled to a variable-displacement pump was considered, but again, we could not find a variable displacement pump scaled for our application.
We selected a fixed-displacement axial-piston pump similar in construction to the treadmill's hydraulic motor. Because the pump and motor have fixed displacement, this dictated a variable-speed prime mover with high torque capability at low speed and low torque demands at high speed. A 3-phase ac motor — rated at 3 kW — was selected. The speed of the motor is regulated by a variable-frequency vector control.
Variable-speed controls
Radio frequency (RF) interference limitations were established because MRI devices depend on a highly shielded RF environment. Control components located within the MRI room itself must be completely free of electrical components and free of electrical conductors between the MRI room and the adjacent power unit. However, the treadmill control system must be linked to other diagnostic software. System status monitors are required to display in the MRI room and log system performance data.
Therefore, we chose fiber optic devices to meet the needs of speed feedback, position sensing, and emergency stop control. The fiber optic cables selected are non-conductive, and all electrical devices are located in the power unit, isolated from the critical environment. Optical feedback from the treadmill is converted to electric signals and communicated to the motor controller and data acquisition (DAC) board.
The hydraulic pump and motor are plumbed for open-circuit, unidirectional operation. Therefore, except for the classic variations in the pump and motor's volumetric efficiency, belt speed is proportional to the prime mover speed. The treadmill's belt speed control proved the most challenging control issue. We measure hydraulic motor output speed using an optical rotary encoder, which provides a fiber optic feedback signal that becomes an analog input to the electric motor drive. The variable-frequency vector control is programmed to compensate for changes in load and volumetric efficiency of the pump and motor.
The treadmill's incline is achieved by controlling fluid flow to an elevation cylinder. The cylinder was designed and manufactured by Lehigh Fluid Power Inc., Lambertville, N. J. Made of 316 stainless steel, it has a 1½-in. bore and 4½-in. stroke. Fluid is supplied to the cylinder by an accumulator, which stores enough pressurized fluid to raise the front of the deck to its maximum incline. The accumulator is precharged with nitrogen and is pressurized to maximum system pressure at the beginning of each stress test by diverting pump output to the accumulator circuit.
Cylinder displacement is controlled by two, 2-way directional control valves (DCVs) and fiber-optic position feedback. The DCVs are not proportional, but they are subjected to pulsed input signals when the error signal is small. This scheme was developed to reduce the overshoot encountered in early testing.
Treadmill testing
Initial prototype testing began outside an MRI room to match performance to established speed and gradient combinations. We expected belt speed and elevation to stabilize within ± 5% of required values. Sensors and software interlocks also included component maximum speed limits and other safety concerns.
Testing was conducted to ensure that the MRI environment did not influence the operation of the treadmill and controls and that the components of the treadmill could be safely located within the MRI's magnetic field. A 0.7 Tesla permanent magnet was used to test all individual components of the treadmill for magnetic attraction. The completed treadmill assembly was also tested for magnetic attraction.
Additionally, we tested the machine to ensure it would not influence the quality of images recorded during diagnostic tests. A series of standardized tests was conducted to measure image quality comparing the image quality with no treadmill in the MRI room, to a fully connected, stationary treadmill located close to the magnet, and, finally, to an operating treadmill.
Water as a hydraulic fluid
Water is the fluid of choice primarily because the hydraulic motor was designed specifically for use with water. Water has many positive attributes as a hydraulic fluid, but also some challenges. Water is inexpensive and readily available. Its viscosity is significantly lower than oil's, so water can transmit comparable power with lower pressure differentials, resulting in potentially higher overall efficiency. Even though leakage has not been an issue, water leaks in a hospital setting are less dangerous and easier to clean up than oil leaks are.
Of course, these advantages are offset by some disadvantages. Water's low viscosity means it flows more readily through small clearances typically found in hydraulic components. Therefore, pumps and motors generally exhibit higher internal leakage, which translates to lower volumetric efficiency.
Unlike oil, water does not readily establish full-film (hydrodynamic) lubrication. Water also can be corrosive to metals and cause erosive wear. Water can be breeding grounds for bacteria and other micro-organisms. Antimicrobial agents can be added to the water to inhibit microbial growth, but we chose, instead, to install an ultraviolet sterilizer in the return flow piping to reduce microbial growth. This does not eliminate microbial growth, so periodic water and filter changes are required.
The current state
The initial treadmill prototype served its intended function by meeting performance goals and providing a platform suitable for clinical research on a limited scale. Many minor changes to hardware and software were required to meet specifications and provide reliability.
Based on the success of the initial prototype, a next generation treadmill design has been built to conduct a multicenter clinical trial. Attention to details of clinical ergonomics, software convenience, enhanced performance, and improved serviceability were incorporated into the new design.
In addition to being Associate Professor, Engineering Technologies at Ohio State University's Agricultural Technical Institute, Wooster, Ohio, John Arnold, P. E., is also Chief Technology Officer of XCMR Inc., Columbus.

Why so close?
Eric Foster is COO of EXCMR Inc., Columbus, the company that designs and manufactures the water hydraulic treadmill. He explains why the treadmill must be so close to the MRI machine:
Heart disease affects more than 70 million Americans and is the leading cause of death in the United States. Two-thirds of these deaths occur without detection of the disease. Treadmill exercise stress testing, combined with cardiac imaging, has become the leading method of detection and treatment of heart disease. In these exams, images of the heart are obtained immediately following a treadmill stress test and compared with baseline images of the heart at rest. This lets doctors observe any abnormalities that develop as the heart demands more blood during physical stress.
These exams are currently performed with either nuclear or ultrasound imaging. Both suffer from technical limitations, and nuclear imaging involves significant radiation exposure. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can provide a complete cardiac imaging evaluation that is superior to existing techniques. However, the combination of exercise stress with MRI has not previously been feasible because traditional treadmills cannot be safely placed in the same room as the MRI machine.
Imaging must begin immediately after exercise (preferably, within 30 sec) because stress-induced cardiac abnormalities dissipate rapidly upon termination of exercise. Therefore, images cannot be acquired quickly enough if the treadmill is located remotely from the imaging system.
Furthermore, requiring the patient to walk any distance immediately following maximal exercise may produce dizziness and risk of falling even in relatively healthy patients. EXCMR's totally MRI-compatible treadmill solves these problems by placing the treadmill in the MRI suite, minimizing the time between end of exercise and imaging to maximize safety as well as accuracy of the test.

Bette Midler attends her "Hulaween" gala, a celebration of the singer's 60th birthday and the 10th Anniversary of the New York Restoration Project, at the Waldorf Astoria October 31, 2005 in New York City. Audiences know singer-actress Bette Midler for playing brash and outrageous, in movie comedies like "Ruthless People"; tugging at heartstrings, in dramas like "Beaches"; and for the antic stage performances that long ago earned her the moniker "The Divine Miss M."

A Jewish girl born in New Jersey but raised in a Samoan neighborhood of Honolulu, Bette Midler studied acting in high school and college, and earned her first professional role as an extra in the 1966 film "Hawaii." The paycheck paid for her ticket to New York City, where she sang in Greenwich Village coffee shops and the Continental Baths on the Upper West Side; her first album, "The Divine Miss M." on Atlantic Records (1972), was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard charts. Midler's Broadway performances include playing Tzeitel in "Fiddler on the Roof"; her 1973 concert performance at the Palace Theater; "Clams on the Half Shell Revue" (1975); and "Bette! Divine Madness" (1979), later filmed for a theatrical release.

A metallic red and gold brocade, halter top dress accented with punched stones in red, orange, purple, citrine, green and iridescent designed by Bob Mackie, paired with with elaborate and colorful bird feather "wings" and tail feathers, was created for Bette Midler's 1979-1980 "Divine Madness" tour. It was part of the Bette Midler Collection of more than 300 pieces, that was auctioned in 2011 for more than a half-million dollars.

Midler's comedic talents were amply displayed in the 1986 black comedy "Ruthless People," an update of "Ransom of Red Chief" in which two kidnappers (Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater) hold captive a rather monstrous woman (Midler), much to the delight of her husband, played by Danny DeVito.

The 1991 film "For the Boys" spans nearly 50 years in the lives of song-and-dance partners Dixie Leonard and Eddie Sparks (Bette Midler and James Caan), who entertain U.S. troops during three wars. Midler won the Golden Globe and earned an Oscar nomination for her performance.
One of Bette Midler's most affecting roles was in the 1988 tearjerker "Beaches," co-starring Barbara Hershey. The featured song "Wind Beneath My Wings" -- originally written in 1982 and recorded by, among others, Roger Whittaker, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Lou Rawls and Sheena Easton -- was a No. 1 Billboard hit for Midler, and won two Grammy Awards.

The 2004 remake of "The Stepford Wives," which took a more satirical approach to Ira Levin's thriller novel, starred Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler. Troubles on the set, rewrites and reshoots, and cast replacements (Midler's role was originally to have been played by Joan Cusack) led to the film's box office failure.

Arsenal must learn lessons at Everton
Premier League Spotlight previews the weekend's top-flight fixtures, highlighting the key points to keep an eye on as the action unfolds.
Weekend fixtures
Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
Chelsea vs. Leicester
Crystal Palace vs. West Ham
Southampton vs. West Brom
Swansea vs. Burnley
Everton vs. Arsenal
Hull vs. Stoke
Tottenham vs. QPR
Sunderland vs. Man United
Man City vs. Liverpool
Weekend battle: Everton vs. Arsenal
Arsenal have not really got going yet. This is understandable because it is early days and they are still coming down from the highs of their Community Shield (and FA Cup) glory. Also, manager Arsene Wenger had already planted the seeds of an excuse with his complaint about the 2014-15 Premier League season starting too soon after the World Cup.
Against Crystal Palace they were fortunate to win but did so, to their credit, via the unexpected means of set pieces. In Turkey versus Besiktas, there was again a distinct lack of rhythm to their play though there was rigidity at the back to get 44.532 percent of the Champions League qualification job done.
Concerns via one's own trumpet about the failure to sign a backup striker could give Wenger a splitting headache that especially throbs after Sept. 1 and when assistant Steve Bould perhaps says: "Olivier Giroud looks a bit tired, Arsene." Indeed, 21-year-old Yaya Sanogo might one day be an excellent striker, but for now he's all flailing arms and legs. Giroud, meanwhile, has not yet got up to full speed, which for him is not especially fast anyway.
- Mangan: Flat Arsenal seek a spark at Everton
That Liverpool are, at the time of writing, reportedly set to sign Mario Balotelli only further rubs Arsenal noses in how unfavourably their striking contingent compares to their rivals. Of course, the Gunners are only two matches into their season -- neither of which they lost -- and there is still time in the transfer window for their manager to right his negligence, while the return of World Cup winners Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil is a double boost (Lukas Podolski is not a starter) ahead of Everton.
And fortunately for Arsenal, Saturday's opponents, Everton, hardly looked at their sharpest at Leicester City on the opening weekend, twice letting a lead slip against the newly promoted side and having to settle for a draw. The Toffees will, however, take comfort from their defeat of the Gunners in last season's corresponding fixture. It was a 3-0 schooling, with Nacho Monreal, who will start this weekend, and Thomas Vermaelen, now sold for a pretty excellent fee of 15 million pounds, particularly awful that day.
"We have a good opportunity on Saturday to show that we have moved forward and that we are stronger than last year," Wenger said in his prematch news conference. It was in this type of game, against a higher-quality side away from home, that Arsenal too often spontaneously combusted last season, bits of their battered confidence and lazy defending strewn the pitch at the final whistle. It is up to Wenger to prove Arsenal have learnt their lessons.
Under pressure: Sam Allardyce
Already? Yes. Heck, West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce was under pressure even before a ball was kicked, let alone for no goal to be scored and a defeat suffered in front of the Upton Park crowd against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday. Ergo, it is with little surprise he is the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post.
Allardyce, after staving off relegation in 2013-14, came under scrutiny because of his methods rather than the outcome: the football simply wasn't great. But the hierarchy stuck by him, though with a quite clear caveat that hardly felt like an earnest arm around the shoulder: "Provide more entertainment next season."
So when the Hammers failed to take the lead during the 34 minutes they had a numerical advantage against Spurs and also when it was 10 vs. 10, when it is arguably more open, it took very little for the pressure to build.
But Big Sam shrugged it off his hulking shoulders: "If they're going to do it after one game they might as well have done it at the end of last season." In spite of that bullishness, better than the four shots on target mustered against Spurs will rightly be expected when the Hammers face managerless Crystal Palace, who, while impressing against Arsenal, have had a second tumultuous week off the field.
Finding form: Chelsea
Last week, Jose Mourinho's men had the infamy of staring up at the "under pressure" subheading of this column, but now look at him and his Chelsea players basking in the warm and fuzzy glow of "finding form." It's because they only ruddy found form, didn't they. After going a goal down at Burnley on Monday, the Blues rolled up their sleeves and puffed out their chests before playing some quite brilliant football to make it 3-1.
3 - Cesc Fabregas has assisted a goal in each of his last three appearances in the Premier League. Master.
- OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) August 18, 2014
They then did what Mourinho sides do and buttoned up the match, making the second half not even close to as entertaining -- how dare they tactically deny the observer. A win was expected though, and so it should in the majority of their games this season.
The performance and outcome merely reiterated what a superb set of players Mourinho has at his disposal, as Cesc Fabregas shattered Arsenal fans' hearts with his kissing of the ball for the first assist while Diego Costa confused Fernando Torres by unerringly scoring a poacher's goal. Saturday's fixture is against Leicester, who might well be quaking in their football boots.
Statistically speaking (via @PCarrESPN)
* Arsenal visit Goodison Park on Saturday to face Everton, who finished fifth last season. In the past three seasons, Arsenal haven't won an away game against any team that finished in the top five, going winless in 14 straight such games.
* Arsenal's midfielders were the most active players in the opening weekend. Aaron Ramsey led all Premier League players with 130 touches in the first round of games, followed by teammate Mikel Arteta with 119. And the three players who completed the most passes were all Gunners: Arteta (101), Ramsey (92) and Calum Chambers (86).
* Manchester United face Sunderland Sunday, after losing their opener to Swansea City. United last lost their two opening league games in 1986-87.
* Manchester City host Liverpool at Etihad Stadium, where City scored 63 league goals last season. That tied the club's first-division record for home goals in a season, set back in 1928-29.
* Daniel Sturridge has now played 50 games for Liverpool in all competitions, scoring 36 goals. He has the most goals by any Liverpool player in his first 50 appearances since George Allan scored 41 from 1895 to 1897.
Any other business: Manchester United
Well, that didn't go according to plan, did it? So much for the seeming certainty of new manager Louis van Gaal high-fiving his players and then each member of the crowd after a win in his opening Premier League match in charge. Just like that, 3-5-2 was branded a tactical travesty, before necks were wound in and it dawned on some that, no, the Dutch coach doesn't have an orange magic wand. Indeed, the squad remains well short, even in spite of Marcos Rojo's arrival.
It didn't take long for the Old Trafford blood that cooled during the summer to come to the boil again. The Glazers and executive vice chairman Ed Woodward were soon being rounded upon for a summer of much-needed recruitment that initially promised much but now looks like a trolley dash. Considering the mental fragility of United's players after last season's uncommon anguish, Sunderland away from home on Sunday is anything but a formality.

in love.
It was week 5 of 2005 and the Packers hadn't given much to cheer about up to that point. The Saints came into town and we took out our 0-4 frustrations on them by lighting them up 52-3 on a pleasant early October afternoon. The game felt over well before halftime and the Packers put it on cruise control the rest of the way, giving Tanker and I plenty of time to get back to the tent and get things ready for the usual run of maniacs who liked to stop by and have a few and maybe dance and little, too.
"Just look for the boxers!" This is what we told people to look for – the XXXL pair of yellow Packer boxers we strung up atop a twenty-foot pole by the tent. "Or listen for the G&R!" I added, already thinking about popping in Appetite for Destruction as soon as we got back.
Soon, I noticed Char bouncing toward the tent and singing along to "Sweet Child of Mine," a good sign if there ever was one. She pounded the last third of her beer and flicked the can ten feet whirling into the garbage, another good sign. I popped another one and handed it to her, which she graciously accepted. We introduced ourselves and after she told me about her famous middle-school swift kick to the testicles of yesteryear, we eventually bonded both over our shared appreciation of Tony Fisher catching balls out of the backfield and our hatred of BJ Sander and the pathetic punting situation.
The normal crowd was there, too. Creeper, Lefty, Bowler, Stiffy, Big Pop, Sandypants and Candy Corn had all stopped by as planned and imbibed and ingested and altogether consumed the party at hand. Normally, this would've suited me just fine but the bright prospects of this new chick called Char fixated all my energies. Thankfully, the guy she came with seemed more interested in bean bags and beer bongs that he left Char fend for herself among a crowd she didn't know. But she handled everything like a deep-fried sprinkled cupcake – that is, nice to look at, easy to get along with and tons of fun all over.
I had just cockblocked Creeper's sloppy advances toward her by blaring "The Bears Still Suck" and motioning her to dance. She started swinging my way and things were looking good with makeout potential when all of the sudden her douche-canoe Newport 100 Neanderthal stepped in and said it was time for them to leave. It was clear Char was bummed because of all the fun but they were late for something else possibly just as great. I got a hug and she told me to stay cool and she hoped to see me down the line. I stood there as she walked away listening "the Bears still suck, the Bears still suck, the Bears still suck" taunting and couldn't help but think that guy is the one who sucked and her relationship with him sucked and now this tailgate party sucked and now I was going to have a sucky time the rest of the sucky afternoon.
I got ripped and barked around the parking lot for a Roman knuckles match with some beer-bellied bruiser and maybe some pickled perch – something powerful to distract me from the heartbreak I was experiencing. But the buzzkill burned and I scared away the kid from Kimberly by beating my chest like a crazed gorilla. I eventually lumbered back to the tent where Tanker had picked up and was ready to go.
"Where were you?" he asked. I had no response. It didn't matter. "I'm supposed to give this to you." And Tanker handed me a receipt for hamburger buns from the Piggly Wiggly.
On the back was a hand-written number, a smiley face, and "Charcoal" written in cursive.

J Why necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 246 diseños de 43 diseñadores freelance.
J Why Music
With only 5.5 hours left in the contest, I will now only provide minimal feedback for entirely new entries. If your new entry is absolutely stunning and breathtakingly original you may get some feedback from me. Otherwise new entries will get only a star rating at most.
Thank you to everyone who has entered for your great work!
I am a music producer and composer based in New York City. Versatile and wide ranging, I work in many styles of music from jazz and electronica, to hip hop, rock and soul. Originally a drummer, I excel at holding it down and helping musicians achieve their musical aspirations with an empathetic, discerning, and astute ear. As a composer, I work collaboratively with artists of all different backgrounds (film, theater, dance, and television) to marry music with their artistic visions.
I am seeking a simple, bold, and creative logo that conveys my core identity traits of:
Good listener - first audience for a musician, learns all sides of a situation
Analyst - Solves musical problems
Empathetic - Ability to be in other people's shoes
Grounded - Down to earth, holding it down
Versatile - knowledge of history/styles/genres, rhythm, timbres
No nonsense - tells it like it is, illuminates truth
Brand essence: Bridging worlds (As producer: bridging between art & commerce. As composer: bridging between rhythm & melody, sound & image.)
You can listen to some samples of my work below to get a taste of my sound-world (some is music I composed and/or performed, some is by other artists with me in the producer role).
I work with musicians of all styles and genres to help them realize their musical aspirations. I also write original scores for film, television, theater, dance, puppetry, and other musicians.
In the past few years I was the drummer for the Spanglish Rock band, Caramelize; produced records for post-jazz artists Benny Lackner and Hillary Maroon; and wrote scores for choreographer Sasha Welsh and film-maker Amir Bar-Lev. I am about to launch my website JWhyMusic.com and begin work on a new record release.
The brand/customer relationship is: A trusted friend with good judgment who tells it like it is.
I am seeking a strong LOGO with WORD MARK.
I believe in letting the designer do their job and bring their own creative talents to bear. I'm open to many interpretations and designs. The only restriction is that I *do not* want any question marks in the logo design (Why is enough of a question). In a general sense, these are my requirements for the logo:
1. Simple/Bold
2. Elegant
3. Striking (of course)
4. Look good in Black & White
5. Look good in all sizes: from small on the spine of a CD case (ie. 1/4" high) to LARGE on a t-shirt or web page
6. Logo can stand alone, independent of the word mark

this looks like a nice game..
So it's being released on PS2 and X-Box360,as well as computer? How does that work? Does the X-Box360 version have more detail to it than the PS2 version, because how can they release the same game on two different consoles when one is inferior to the other?

I played BLIC2005 the other day and realised actually how poor it was. I guess the excitement of getting a cricket game that wasn't made by EA overshadowed how crap it was. Big improvement needed this time me thinks.
i played da demo it was useles but ea cric 2005 is very good but BLC 2007 looks better than the 2005

and the career and editing was wrong
The game's shaping up real nice. Just read the review on Planet cricket, many of the bugs seems to have been fixed, along with some massive improvements.

About Cornish Game Hens a la Brasa
So he did. And he liked it.
And missing my weekly Pollo Rico dinners as I did, I decided (duh) that I would try to recreate a pollo a la brasa at home, except I don't have a giant rotisserie. And I keep using cornish game hens every time I make this. Why cornish game hens? I don't know, because they're cute. Also, how does one say cornish game hen in Spanish? Ah, córnico juego gallina. Thank you, Google Translate.
So, for the córnico juego gallina, you'll need:
2 hens, halved. (Or fine, use a whole chicken, quartered, if you want. Or a bunch of random chicken pieces. Either way you should have about 3 1/2 pounds of poultry total.)
How do you halve a cornish game hen? I'm glad you asked! Just pull out your handy dandy kitchen shears. Then use your handy dandy kitchen shears to cut out the backbone (save these for stock). Then take your chef's knife and slice the rest of your bird in half, right down the middle of its breastbone. (And feel free to trim off any excess fat or skin. You won't need them for nothin' 'cept cellulite.)
Throw these into a gallon-sized freezer bag and pour the marinade on top.
What's in the marinade? I'm glad you asked! You'll need:
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Dump all of this into a blender and blend until smooth. It's not 100% exactly like Pollo Rico's marinade, but it is about 83.2% like Pollo Rico's marinade. And damn good in its own right.
So now that you've dumped your marinade in with your poultry pieces, seal up the bag, squeezing as much air out as possible.
Throw the bag in a bowl in case of leakage (heh) (also, ew), and throw the bowl in the fridge. Actually, no, don't throw the bowl in the fridge. More like, place the bowl in the fridge with authority! And let it sit in the fridge and think about what it's done! (Which is die so that you can eat a tasty dinner.)
You're going to want to let that marinate for AT LEAST 8 hours, but more like 24. FOR FLAVOR. And every time you go to the fridge for, I don't know, a glass of water or a piece of string cheese or whatever, give the bag a little shake to redistribute the marinate. Gotta keep your dead chicken on its toes.
When you're ready FOR FLAVOR, take that bag of poultry parts out to your blazing hot grill, throw your poultry parts onto your blazing hot grill (but not the bag, because that would be melty (in a bad way)), and char the hell out of your poultry parts until the internal temperature of your breasts (heh) reach 160 F on your handy dandy instant-read thermometer.
Pull your meat off the grill (heh) (also, ouch) and let it rest about 10 minutes before serving. And then serve!

Also, YUM. If you and Anthony Bourdain are on board, so am I.
Cornish game hens ARE cute.ReplyDelete
If you ever quit being the Lorax, you want to come be our resident chef? Please?? That looks SO good!ReplyDelete
Is that couscous?? Yeah, I want some couscous!ReplyDelete
it IS couscous! and i keep trying to get it to taste like the UC couscous on greek salad day and i can't figure it out! HELP?ReplyDelete
Where's the "About Birthday Cake and Ice Cream" post? ;) Oh wait, we're supposed to give YOU a cake, aren't we? *sigh* Wish I could bake as well as you cook, because then I would give you a cake worthy of representing my admiration for you. Hope you have a gratifying, happy day. Love you!ReplyDelete
Your blog is ever-inspiring... I made this last night and its sitting in my fridge thinking about what its done right now. Although my marinade looks way, way darker than yours for some reason...I hope it doesn't taste like soy sauce overload...Also, I just used a plain old regular ugly chicken, cuz the Safeway two minutes from my house doesn't carry cute little cornish hens (boo).ReplyDelete
oh, i make it with regular chicken all the time! and yours might be darker if you used a darker soy. i think mine might be light, but i'm not 100% on that. let me know how it turns out!ReplyDelete
I made it and ate it, it was very good. I will try it again (yeah)(for hens, boo).ReplyDelete
came upon your blog, while searching for the spanish translation for Cornish game hen, since I am living and working in El Salvador and love prepping, cooking and eating the cute but generous little suckers. You cook, and write about it, the way I do, so it was a special pleasure to find you. While I have inspired myself by recipes, I have never followed one. In fact, when a cookbook wanted several from me, they had to send to scribes to quantify my preparation....Thanks for being there, and will visit you often. Perhaps even share my El Salvador-inspired dishes(with approximate measurements)....Andre R.G.ReplyDelete
Just followed your directions....about the garlic cloves...diced, crushed, whole?ReplyDelete
Doesn't matter! The cloves get all smooshed up in the blender when you make the marinade.ReplyDelete
oops....forgot about the blender part...next timeReplyDelete

Kenny Boynton Shoots Florida Out Of a Sluggish Start at YalePosted by Dan Lyons on January 7th, 2013
Dan Lyons is an RTC correspondent who also writes for Syracuse blog "Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician." You can find him on Twitter @Dan_Lyons76. He filed this report after Sunday's match-up between Florida and Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
Sunday's trip to New Haven to take on the Yale Bulldogs was supposed to be a homecoming game for Florida senior Erik Murphy, who grew up in nearby South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Unfortunately for Murphy's New England-based friends and family, he was sidelined with bruised ribs after an injury in practice. Luckily for Gator fans, who flocked to Payne Whitney Gymnasium in what was deemed a sellout by Yale, fellow senior Kenny Boynton put on an incredible performance from deep, sinking 8-of-10 three pointers and finishing with 28 points, tying a career-high. Boynton's 23-point second half also broke him out of a personal slump, clinching a 79-58 win for Florida against a scrappy-if-overmatched Yale team looking to win back its home court.
From the opening tip, Yale tried to run with Florida, which led to a sloppy and frenetic first half. The Bulldogs did a decent job breaking the Gator press early, often using center Jeremiah Kreisberg at the half-court line to advance the ball. However, Florida's length disrupted Yale's half-court sets, leading to nine first half turnovers for the Bulldogs. Yale was able to stick around for the first 15 minutes of the game, in large part due to success on the boards where they edged the Gators by one in the first half. Florida also struggled to score outside of the paint early on, and only led by one point with just over five minutes remaining in the half. Despite keeping the game close, Yale was never able to get its own offense going, shooting 9-of-25 in the first half, and eventually Florida's star guards took over. The Gators closed the half on a 14-3 run, spurred by a late three-pointer by Boynton, and three successful free throws from freshman Michael Frazier II, who was fouled while shooting a three of his own.
