Unlike many companies, our warranty for O/E replacement air filters and intake systems does extend beyond the replacement of a defective K&N part. For the original purchaser of the product, our warranty covers any engine damage or related costs incurred as a direct result of the use of a properly installed and maintained K&N O/E automotive replacement air filter or intake system on the specific vehicle for which the product was designed to be used by K&N. This includes reasonable vehicle repair costs directly related to an engine problem caused by the failure of a K&N product.

K&N will not be responsible for any indirect, consequential, special, contingent, or other damages not listed above.
We will promptly reimburse the consumer for the cost of the repair if a service provider denies warranty coverage as a result of a K&N product or claims that a K&N product has caused harm to your engine or vehicle. In order to receive reimbursement, we require each of the following:
- The consumer must provide a written statement or repair order from the dealership or service provider in which the dealership or service provider blames the problem or warranty denial on a K&N product.
- The service provider or consumer must provide K&N with all allegedly damaged parts. Many states have laws that require a service provider to retain all parts replaced during a vehicle repair, unless given consent to dispose of the parts by the consumer. K&N will pay the shipping cost to recover these parts.
- The consumer must provide proof of purchase of the K&N product along with cooperation in helping us investigate the claim.
Once these steps have been completed, K&N will contact the service provider and collect evidence to support their claim. In the event we are not provided with sufficient evidence, we reserve the right to reject the claim and will use our best efforts to assist in establishing your rights toward the service provider under warranty or other provisions.
We strive to exceed consumer expectations. Customer service can be reached at 1-800-858-3333.

"I hate the smell of blood," says Tommy (Joseph Sikora), right-hand man to James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick). Then he's in the wrong business.
James — better known as Ghost — is "the biggest drug dealer in New York City" in Starz's new dramatic series "Power," which is executive produced by rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.
Ghost, of course, wants to go legit with a high-end nightclub. It's a hip-hop take on the "Godfather" story. As you would expect, whenever Ghost thinks he's getting out, "they" keep pulling him back, as Michael Corleone cries in "The Godfather: Part III."
"They" are not the mystery. Ghost is still working for a powerful Mexican drug cartel, even as he worries about what tunes the DJ is playing and the amount of drinks being poured at his shiny new club.
A few minutes into the first episode, he's confronted with a dilemma. A small-time street dealer Tommy has brought him has boosted a large payment.
Ghost realizes right away he's been double-crossed and someone tipped the kid off. A club owner now, he's civilized enough to let the dealer's girlfriend go, but when the street kid won't give up any information even after a beating, fearing his family will pay the price, Ghost summarily executes him and heads back to the club. He leaves Tommy and his dislike of the smell of blood to clean up.
Some 40 years ago, this might have been eye-opening, but after "Scarface" and a million knockoffs, it's the same tune to a different soundtrack.
"Power" offers up the sex and violence you would expect from a late-evening show on a pay-cable network, but dramatically — at least early on in the eight-episode season — there is little compelling. Hardwick has a strong presence, but there is little in the writing to make him seem conflicted — at least when it comes to pulling the trigger.
Midway through the first episode, Ghost sees his teenage girlfriend, Angela Valdes (Lela Loren), at the club and they both revert to acting like they are 16 again, despite the passage of years, and — in his case — a hard-core criminal life.
As it turns out, she is a criminal prosecutor who is part of a major task force targeting the drug cartel's boss. This will undoubtedly put Angela on Ghost's trail, though she doesn't know it yet. Who would have guessed?
It's possible "Power" could get better, but it seems headed down the same old crooked path.

Brilliant Beginnings is the Food Bank's breakfast in the classroom program. We partner with schools to provide an opportunity for all students to enjoy a healthy breakfast to begin their day. In order for students to be able to participate in eating breakfast, Brilliant Beginnings supports school district staff throughout the county to transition their breakfast into the classroom at a time when most students are present. Rather than serve breakfast while students are still arriving to school or during morning recess, teachers utilize the first 15-20 minutes of the day to ensure all students have an opportunity to learn on a full stomach.
As the first bell rings, a student volunteer will be asked to pick up an insulated bag of breakfast items and milk from the cafeteria and transport it back to their class to share with their classmates. Additionally, students are empowered by having the responsibility of distributing breakfast to their peers as well as cleaning up after they finish eating. Furthermore, teachers may incorporate curricula into breakfast to keep from losing valuable instruction time.
The goal of Brilliant Beginnings is to provide a healthy meal for every student in the county; however, studies have shown that implementing an alternative meal service at a time when students are present provides them with much more than nutrition. Specifically, past studies have shown that students who begin their day with a nutritious meal are able to retain more subject matter, increase test scores, miss less days of school, and are more likely to attend the entire school day with fewer behavioral problems.
Our mission is to work with a network of community partners to alleviate hunger in San Luis Obispo County and build a healthier community.

Tackling shorts - fun "retro" summer short
Added Jul 3, 2013
by aegd784
Washington, Illi...
I added two inches to the length of these, redrafted and shaped the fly, added an integrated fly extension (eliminating the right facing piece and thus drafting a new underlap piece), added a rear welt back pocket and shaped the center back waistband by taking a V-shaped wedge out of it on one end. I also added 1" to the length of both the pocket and pocket pieces. I highly recommend this pattern – the only thing I might change is to scoop out the back crotch a tad more and take in the waistband another inch.
Included pictures to show lengthen/shorten lines I added to pattern pieces and also changes to fly front.

My mom mentioned on Imus. Click on that link and scroll ahead to the 11:00 mark of Imus' interview with CT senator Chris Dodd. Dodd plugs my mom's book!

Chris Dodd is a good man. But I cannot listen to Imus, that turkey necked a-hole. Congrats go to your Mom.
If I listen to a morning talk show, it's Imus. He did always have the advantage of being on the all(except for him)-sports station.
I have never listened to Imus, but that's great news for your mom! I finally just started the book (got sidetracked by a book given to me by a friend) I'm loving every second of it! Go Jere's Mom!
You're Mom is Iman! Wow Ijere! And to Mary Ann, of course I'm only joking. Do you love your shirt? I'm getting mine, said to be lucky, tomorrow. Wow, it's lucky before I even put it on. It was blessed by Reb.
Germs and all. I wonder if they (the germs) liked it? And Reb, I'm trying to be funny. Germs cannot stay alive without a human host for more than a few hours, unless you've gone to Africa, or New Guinea lately. Let me know if that is the case. If not, see you tomorrow.
Hey, Jere's mom here, beside myself, naturally. Here's a related story from Jere's past. He came home one day to tell me he heard me on the FAN. Turns out, there was an ad for John Irving's book, Son of the Cirus, and they quoted from my review of the book that had appeared in the Boston Globe. Jere and I drank to that one (a Coke, naturally).

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Back in the day, Bob's mother spent many a Mother's Day with us. At the time, we belonged to a parish that scheduled First Communion and Confirmation on Mother's Day, and she made it a point to attend the "passage" ceremonies of her grandchildren. My kids all adored her and when she was with us they reveled in making something special for her to remember. This pound cake, with the help of an old Farm Journal cookbook, was one of their creations. Now you must understand, that while my children are accomplished and comely, time has made it abundantly clear that the chromosome for fine motor skills never made it to our family gene pool. My son is the only member of the crew who can artistically dot his I's and cross his T's, and this pound cake, known in the annuls of family history, as Bob's Armadillo Cake gave him the opportunity to shine. The cake is normally made with a sprinkling of chopped almonds, but using tweezers and an entire bag of sliced almonds, he completely covered the cake with overlapping almond slices, giving it an armadillo-like mien. I, who regularly boast about my well-stocked pantry, had planned to make his version of this cake for you, but when the time came to finish it, I learned that while I had ground almonds, slivered almonds, whole almonds and almond meal, there were no sliced almonds in my cupboard. That means you'll have to wait another year to see the armored pound cake. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but in the interim you'll be able to enjoy this wonderful, nearly naked, pound cake. It is really easy to make and while it is wonderful to eat out of hand, it makes a terrific base for macerated fruit or trifle. The ease with which it comes together has made it one of my favorite go-to recipes, and because I'm not always on top of things, I make it more often than I should. I do hope you'll give this simple cake a try. Here is how it's made.
Almond Pound Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Farm Journal
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2) To make cake: Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside. Beat butter in bowl of an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light-colored, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in half of flour mixture. Scrape down side of bowl and beat in milk. Add remaining flour mixture and almond extract and beat until smooth. Spread into prepared pan.
3) Bake cake for 65 minutes, or until crowned and set. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert to remove and cool upright on rack.
4) To make topping: Combine confectioners' sugar, 4 teaspoons water and the almond extract in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until smooth. Spread over cooled cake and top with toasted nuts. Let icing dry at least 15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 10 to 12 slices.

LSQuad Serial port
Original credit for figuring this due to yamasita.jp(Translation)
As with many linkstation models, there is a pinout for a serial connection, but not all of the pinouts are connected. To make a serial connection, we must jump some traces on the board, add a header, and connect with a serial TTL/Level shifter, most easily with the Nokia CA-42. More helpful information about the level shifters can be read at Add_a_Serial_port_to_the_LS_DUO
On the LSQuad (LS-QL/R5), the pinout is located at the lower front side of the board. Looking at the inside/processor side of the board, the pinout is on the lower right. The rightmost pinout (#1) is the ground. Going leftwards, #2 is the +3.3V, skip that pin. #3 and #4 will be the TxD and RxD.
Solder in the header first, extending to the outside (non-processor side) of the board. Remember the clearance with the case, you may need to bend the header pins 45 or 90 degrees up to connect once the board is re-installed.
Then jumper a lead that goes from the back (processor side) of the pin #3 to the small hole just to the left of R147.
Add another lead that goes from the back of pin #4 to the righter-most of the two holes above and between C47 and C53. You'll see the the more leftwards of the two holes is the terminus of the trace the extends from R147.

Facing sharp declines in sales and a plunging stock price, JC Penney's newly re-appointed CEO Mike Ullman must stabilize the struggling retailer's sales while modifying its strategy for winning over customers, analysts said.
Ullman, who previously served as Penney's chief executive for nearly seven years until 2011, takes the reins from Ron Johnson in a move widely labeled as positive by analysts despite the company's previous stock price slide while Ullman was CEO before.
Shares initially rose following the announcement of Johnson's departure but later erased gains once the company said Ullman would take over.
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a senior associate dean at Yale Management school, said it's difficult for a former CEO to return since people look for something new, a "messiah coming from the outside." Ironically, this market reaction could be a positive for Ullman, Sonnenfeld told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

Disgraced broadcaster Howard Sattler believes he shouldn't have been sacked for questioning the sexuality of the prime minister's partner, saying shock jocks like Kyle Sandilands and Alan Jones have said worse and kept their jobs.
"What about these people - people who grilled a 13-year-old rape victim, a threat to hunt down a female journalist, harass the English nurse to subsequent suicide, say that Julia Gillard's father died of shame over her policies, that Ms Gillard should be bagged and dumped into the sea," Sattler told the Seven Network on Monday.
"Now don't you think my question paled into insignificance ahead of all those things?
"All those people are still on air. I've lost my job."
Sattler was suspended from Perth radio station 6PR last week following his interview with Ms Gillard in which he asked her if her partner, Tim Mathieson, was gay.
Less than 24 hours later, he was sacked from the Fairfax-owned station and his regular spot on Seven's Sunrise program.
Asked if he would do it all over again, Sattler said: "No, because I can't afford to lose my job.
"I gave her the opportunity to stop me at any stage, I didn't think I'd lose my job."
Sattler said he was considering running against Perth Labor MP Stephen Smith in the September election.
"It might help unseat him ... I'd love to try."
He said the defence minister had refused to be interviewed by him for about six years and had "fired a few barbs" at him.
Sattler was diagnosed last year with Parkinson's disease and believes his slurred speech was the real reason he was sacked from the radio station.
Fairfax says he was fired due to his disrespectful and inappropriate questions to the prime minister.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors joined the National League of Cities and National Association of Counties in adopting a resolution calling for state and federal producer responsibility legislation that shifts the costs of managing problematic product and packaging waste away from taxpayers and local governments to producers, giving them the incentive to make products less toxic and easier to reuse and recycle.
West Sacramento, Calif., Mayor Christopher Cabaldon sponsored the resolution, which is similar to one his city adopted in 2009.
The list of signers includes Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, Calif.; Mike McGinn, mayor of Seattle, Wash.; David Maher, mayor of Cambridge, Mass.; Patrick Hayes, mayor of North Little Rock, Ark.; and Mark Burroughs, mayor of Denton, Texas
"Local governments are in serious financial trouble and can better use resources currently going to manage waste products like batteries, needles and fluorescent lamps to fund police, fire and basic public services," said Cabaldon. "We need manufacturers to take responsibility for what they make, not leave it to the taxpayers and ratepayers to clean up the mess at very high costs."
The resolution, adopted at the mayors' annual meeting in Oklahoma City on June 14, is based on a model developed by the Product Policy Institute (PPI) in 2006 that has been adopted by jurisdictions in New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas.
The resolution is part of a movement that calls for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), also known as Product Stewardship. EPR is a policy approach common in Europe, Japan, Canada and other industrialized nations but relatively new to the United States. In the United States, 22 states now have laws for discarded electronic products that require producers to finance or manage collection and provide responsible recycling which also creates jobs.
The conference is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more, promoting effective national urban/suburban policy. Its resolution supports state and federal producer responsibility legislation that levels the playing field for corporations that take "cradle-to-cradle" responsibility for their products and packaging, and urges Congress to support the ability of state governments to establish producer responsibility legislation.

Royals Rally Past Twins Monday
The Kansas City Royals topped the Minnesota 3-1 at Kauffman Stadium Monday afternoon. The Twins fall to 4-3 with the loss.
The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a Ryan Doumit single with runners on the corners and two outs. Trevor Plouffe followed with a single, but Doumit got thrown out inexplicably off second base despite the fact that third base was occupied.
Kevin Correia was able to keep the Royals off the board until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Kansas City scored a pair of runs on two doubles and a single.
Jared Burton came in to the game in relief of Correia and threw a wild pitch to advance Alicides Escobar to third base. Billy Butler singled to scored Escobar and give the Royals the 3-1 lead.
Correia took the loss for the Twins, lasting 7.1 innings while allowing 8 hits with one walk and one strikeout.
Ervin Santana was the winning pitcher for Kansas City, allowing only the first inning run in eight innings of work. The former Angel struck out seven while walking only one.

New York passed the toughest gun control laws in the nation last week. The SAFE Act called for a new assault weapons ban, among other measures. Over this past weekend, New York State Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin revealed other measures that were removed from the final bill that was eventually signed into law.
These 15 measures were pulled from the final bill:
1. Confiscation of "assault weapons"
2. Confiscation of ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder's information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as "assault weapons"
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons
This list reveals that gun control advocates were pushing for even harder measures to be included in the bill. But what is most telling is that these advocates were calling for confiscation of so-called "assault weapons" as well as the confiscation of magazines over five rounds, which would be almost all magazines. Another point to note is that these measures also called for a "database" or registry of all firearms in the state as well as a fee for licensing as well as registering.
A Democrat in the assembly urged McLaughlin not to share this list as it would serve to "dampen compromise."
This newly-revealed list of measures only serves to heighten awareness of how far gun control advocates want to go with the goal of registration and confiscation in their crusade against firearms. Some may call it paranoia, but is it paranoia when gun control advocates want to keep these intentions away from the public?

* Diyarbarkir court orders release of MPs
* Constitutional court had said their detentions unjust
* Release could boost fragile Kurdish peace process (Adds constitutional court ruling on three other MPs)
By Seyhmus Cakan
DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, Jan 3 (Reuters) - A Turkish court ordered the release from jail on Friday of two Kurdish lawmakers being tried for links to militants in a potential boost to a fragile peace process.
Gulser Yildirim and Ibrahim Ayhan won seats for the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) in a 2011 election but have been held on remand for several years, accused of supporting the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group.
A judge in the main southeastern city of Diyarbakir ruled in favour of freeing them after the constitutional court said their imprisonment infringed their rights as elected officials.
The constitutional court ruled later on Friday that three other Kurdish deputies were also being held unjustly, paving the way for them too to be freed as their trials continue.
Their release could see them take their parliamentary oaths, helping build confidence in peace talks between Ankara and the PKK aimed at ending a conflict in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast which has killed 40,000 people over three decades.
The PKK took up arms against Turkey in 1984 with the aim of carving out a separate state in the southeast for the country's Kurds, who make up around 20 percent of the population but have long been denied basic political and cultural rights.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has staked considerable political capital in peace efforts, widening cultural and language rights for Kurds at the risk of infuriating large parts of his grassroots support base.
A PKK ceasefire has largely held since March, but the group - considered a terrorist organisation by Ankara, the European Union and United States - has halted the withdrawal of its fighters from Turkey to bases in northern Iraq in frustration at what it says is the slow pace of reform.
Erdogan, who is battling a wide-ranging corruption investigation swirling around his government, has accused those behind the probe of seeking to disrupt the peace process by undermining confidence in his administration.
The court rulings go some way to addressing criticism from the European Union and rights groups over Turkey's lengthy detentions for defendants on trial.
A parliamentarian from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Mustafa Balbay, pledged his oath in the assembly on Dec. 10 after his release from nearly five years in prison on conspiracy charges.
He was among 275 defendants including an ex-military chief, retired officers, academics, journalists and politicians jailed in August over an alleged plot to overthrow Erdogan's Islamist-rooted government.
Balbay, sentenced to almost 35 years in prison, was freed pending appeal by an Istanbul court after the Constitutional Court made a ruling on his case similar to the ones on the Kurdish lawmakers. ($1 = 2.1713 lira) (Writing by Daren Butler; Editing by Nick Tattersall and Alison Williams)

It's not every day a Catholic archbishop welcomes a host of Hollywood celebrities at a movie premiere, but that was the scene on the red carpet May 31, when Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez greeted the stars of the new movie "For Greater Glory," among them Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria and Eduardo Verastegui. The film, opening yesterday in theaters, is about the 1920s Cristero Rebellion in Mexico.
"The anti-Catholic persecutions in Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s are long forgotten, it seems. The reality is hard to believe," the archbishop wrote in his May 29 column for The Tidings, newspaper of the Los Angeles Archdiocese. "Just a generation ago, not far from our borders, thousands of men, women and even children, were imprisoned, exiled, tortured and murdered. All for the 'crime' of believing in Jesus Christ and wanting to live by their faith in him.
"So I welcome the new film, 'For Greater Glory.' It tells the dramatic story of this unknown war against religion and our church's heroic resistance. It's a strong film with a timely message. It reminds us that our religious liberties are won by blood and we can never take them for granted."
Catholic News Service reviewer John Mulderig echoed that sentiment in his review: "The Mexican government's tyrannical interference with religious liberty, while obviously far more extreme than anything taking place north of the border today, nonetheless carries a sobering resonance with current events.
"If the film can be taken as a cautionary tale about where excessively zealous, overweening secularism can lead a nation, the warning is a stark one."
The Catholic Church has canonized 25 martyrs of the rebellion and beatified even more. The most famous of the martyrs is St. Toribio Romo Gonzalez, a popular patron of Mexican migrants. On March 25, the second full day of his two-day visit to Mexico before he traveled to Cuba, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass in Silao, in the central state of Guanajuato, the country's Catholic heartland and a stronghold of the 1920s Cristero Rebellion.

Your mother often said you were born in a barn.
That's because it seemed like you were always going ape, laughing like a hyena and horsing around. Surely, you drove her batty until she didn't think she could bear another minute of you but secretly, Mom probably didn't mind. She knew you were healthy as a horse and, really, one look at those puppy-dog eyes and your monkeyshines were always forgiven.
You were a wild child, and then you grew out of it — much to the relief of your loved ones. But in the new novel "Lone Wolf" by Jodi Picoult, Luke Warren embraced the animal in himself and in doing so, he destroyed his family.
Luke Warren never really wanted fame.
As a biologist, he never thought he'd write a book or become a TV star. Reticent, almost hermit-like, what Luke really wanted was for his research to help people understand that real wolves aren't like the ones in fairy tales. Wolves have a unique culture, an explicit way of communicating, and family is everything. They're also more afraid of humans than humans are of them.
And Luke knew that because he lived for two years in the Canadian wilderness with a pack of wolves.
Edward Warren remembered those years without a father; how his mother, Georgie, cried and how his little sister, Cara, missed her daddy. Edward was fifteen then, and Luke had burdened him with a man-of-the-house talk before he left, handing Edward the financial reins and making him sign a scrap of paper which gave the boy medical power of attorney.
Wanting neither, Edward did his best. But shortly after his father returned from Canada, shortly after he told his mother he was gay, Edward left home, angry, vowing never to return.
Cara Warren barely remembered Luke's absence, but it didn't matter anymore.
After her parents divorced, Cara lived with her mother but favored her father. Everything she knew, she learned from him. Compassionate, smart, wise, and patient, he adored her and he adored his wolves.
But that was before the accident.
That was before doctors said that Luke would never regain consciousness, before Georgie called Edward home.
Before Edward decided that it was time to let his father go peacefully…
Filled with well-rounded characters you come to feel as though you know personally, "Lone Wolf" is comfortingly typical of author Jodi Picoult's other works. Each person is allowed to tell his or her own story, there's a pivotal issue around which they all revolve, and there's a tantalizing, hidden "hook" you know is there but that you hate to see.
What's different about this novel is that one of the characters tells his story from a unique place. That's unexpected, and I also won't tell you why the ending was a sweet relief. You've got to find out yourself.
And if you're a member of Jodi's Picoult, that won't be a problem at all. For you, or for any new fan of this author, "Lone Wolf" is a howling good read.
Terri Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 years old, and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

Maybe black people and white people are just, well, different in some way that manifests itself, directly or indirectly, in different sleep patterns?This intransigent hatethought came after it'd been explained to him by National Journal that the apparent observation that blacks spend less of their shuteye time in slow-wave sleep than whites do is a deleterious consequence of discrimination, poverty, and poor health and certainly not due in any way to "innate biological differences" (so certain, in fact, that no data are required to explain why this certainty is so definitively certain!)
Oddly, this putative problem doesn't seem to be one blacks--who are socially encouraged to bellyache loudly about perceived problems and suffered injustices--have any self-awareness of.
In 2010 and 2014, the GSS asked respondents how often they've had trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep in the past year. The percentages among whites (n = 1,802), blacks (n = 354), and Hispanics (n = 127) who answered either "often" or "sometimes"*:
|Bad Sleep
Curiously, the ordering runs in the opposite direction of what the oppression narrative would suggest. Perhaps it's the guilt weighing on whites and the clean consciences blacks enjoy that allow the latter to sleep better than the former despite the disadvantages they suffer in terms of poverty, discrimination, and loud music!
GSS variables used: SLPPRBLM(1-2)(3-4), RACECEN1(1)(2)(15-16)
* The item contains four possible responses--often, sometimes, rarely, never. If we just look at "often", we get 23.1% for whites, 15.8% for blacks, and 19.1% for Hispanics. If we go the other direction and look at "never" responses, we get 17.0% for whites, 21.9% for blacks, and 21.9% for Hispanics. No matter how it is sliced, blacks report significantly less trouble sleeping well than whites do.

DDM hosts the 2010 International Forum on Charity for environmentalist causes
From 25 to 27 September, 2010, Dharma Drum Mountain (DDM) specially hosted 'The 2010 International Forum on Charity and Humanitarian Care' at the DDM World Center for Buddhist Education in Jinshan Township, Taipei County, to promote exchange regarding environmentalism and emergency relief work with other domestic and abroad non-governmental organizations.
Sixteen professionals and experts on climate change, emergency relief and post-trauma counseling from Taiwan, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia were invited to share and discuss their experiences at the three-day forum.
Honorable guests included Dr. Yue-Hwa Yu, Prof. Environmental Engineering Department of National Taiwan University, Dr. Chung-Ming Liu, Prof. Atmospheric Science Department of National Taiwan University, Mr. Mihir Joshi, Coordinator of Asian Disaster Reduction and Response Network, Ms. Takako Isumi, General Manager for Operations of Mercy Malaysia, Mr. Chao-Lung Hsieh, Deputy Secretary-General of Taiwan's the Red Cross Society and Mr. Wing-Ching To, Executive Director of Post Crisis Counseling Network Limited in Hong Kong.
The three-day forum attracted over five hundred attendees.
Abbot President Venerable Guo Dong presented his warmest blessings ahead of the inauguration. The Abbot President first of all expounded that the purpose of hosting the forum was to raise awareness on climate change and the need to care for our surroundings.
"Suffering in life will not end, if one's mind toward nature were to remain the same," the Abbot President stressed. He went on to say that the more heavily populated the area, the more fragile the environment becomes. When the population was small and technology was not well developed, the impact to nature was probably restricted to a small areas or region. However, with the growth of population and the rapid development of technology, the destruction of nature as a consequence of human activities has been far-reaching and evident, such as the loss of rainforests, the erosion of soil pollution to water and air, the loss of biodiversity and desertification.
He also stressed that damage as a result of climate change are now greater than ever. In the face of an uncertain future, we should act immediately instead of doing nothing or lying back helplessly. Our relationship with our natural environment should be one of compatibility; after all, keeping the earth healthy ensures the welfare and sustainability of human beings.
The late Master Sheng Yen had taught that "protecting the environment must originate from the transformation of oneself…this is the most important point. If one was reluctant to change to one's habits and lifestyle, cherish our living environment or live with less material desire, our goal cannot be achieved."
"The future of the earth is decided by our behaviors toward nature in next fifty years," Dr. Chung-Ming Liu said.
All professionals with different expertise concluded that the success of environmentalism and the sustainability of the earth ultimately depends on the transformation of one's mind.

Oh, the pressure! Choosing an exterior paint color, under just a little stress
It was the best news I'd gotten all year: It was time to paint the house.
I know, I know – that's not the kind of thing that makes most people jump up and down and do a little happy dance in their chairs. But during a two-week vacation last summer, I had finished writing a story on green remodeling; had an energy audit; had a professional home inspector look at my house; had talked with a landscaper about the front yard; and had gotten an estimate on swapping my hideous aging blue carpet out for hardwood flooring.
And then my car blew up.

Finding Your Roots
Henry Louis Gates of the Faces of America series is back to host Finding Your Roots on PBS. The 10 part series premieres on PBS stations on March 25, 2012. Celebrities named for this program thus far include:
- Kevin Bacon and wife (cousin?) Kyra Sedgwick, actors; he is probably best known for the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon 'game', his credits include Footloose, Apollo 13, A Few Good Men, Diner. Sedgwick is best known for The Closer.
- Robert Downey, Jr., actor; I'm a bit prejudiced as, in my eyes, he's one of the most gifted actors of our time. Known most recently for Sherlock Holmes, Ally McBeal, Wonder Boys (one of my favorite films), Chaplin, and several stints in jail and rehab.
- Branford Marsalis, musician - saxophonist; in addition to a remarkable solo career, he toured with Sting for two years and was musical director of The Tonight Show when Jay Leno first took over the late night spot.
- John Legend, singer, songwriter, actor, recipient of nine Grammy awards.
- Martha Stewart, television personality and magazine publisher, merchandiser of her own product line. Served five months in federal prison after lying to investigators about a stock sale.
- Barbara Walters, longtime broadcaster and interviewer, her credits include The Today Show, 20/20, The Barbara Walters Special and The View. She was the first woman to co-anchor a network news show and her $1 million salary really pissed off Harry Reasoner, who never got over it. I noticed she was in a photograph as a guest at Paul McCartney's London wedding to Nancy Shevell last year; I later read that Barbara and Nancy are cousins. So I'm curious about that family relationship.
- Rick Warren, evangelical minister and author of The Purpose Driven Life.
As the names of other subjects on Finding Your Roots are announced, they will be posted on this blog.
With at least 12 weeks of network genealogy programming coming up, it's going to make getting through winter a lot more fun!

Sweet Techniques: How to Temper Chocolate
When we were developing our recipe for homemade mallomars last week, we decided to go the extra mile and temper our chocolate before dipping. This definitely isn't something we do every day, but when it's a special treat, we like the satiny texture and glossy finish that tempering gives the chocolate. Besides, for all its reputation for fussiness, tempering chocolate isn't all that hard to do at home!
There are three basic steps for tempering chocolate: 1) heat it to 110°F, 2) cool it to 80°F, and 3) reheat it to 90°F. As long as it stays around 90°F, the chocolate will hold its temper. If it drops much below that, you'll need to repeat the steps again.
Happily, chocolate holds its temperature quite well! We were able to dip our entire batch of mallomars and only started losing the temper toward the very end.
What You Need
• Chocolate – any amount, high-quality is best, cut into chocolate-chip-sized chunks
• double boiler OR a high-sided sauce pan with a shallow mixing bowl
• thermometer
• spatula
1. Warm the Double Boiler – A double boiler is basically a pan nestled inside of another pan with a gap of a few inches between the bottoms of the two. You can buy a double boiler or create your own using a high-sided sauce pan and a shallow metal mixing bowl, as we do in the pictures above.
Pour a few inches of water into the bottom pan, making sure the surface of the water does not touch the bottom of the nestled pan. Bring the water to a simmer.
2. Melt Part of the Chocolate – Place about 2/3 of the total chocolate in the top pan of the double-boiler. The simmering water will help it to melt gently without scorching. Stir the chocolate every few seconds until it has completely melted and has reached a temperature of 110°F – 115°F.
3. Seed the Chocolate – Remove the top pan (with the melted chocolate) from the double-boiler and stir in the remaining 1/3 of the chocolate off the heat. Continue stirring until all the seed chocolate has melted and the chocolate reaches 80°F. Adding seed chocolate will help lower the temperature much more quickly than if you melted all the chocolate at once.
4. Re-Heat the Chocolate – Put the pan with the chocolate back over the double boiler. Stirring gently, warm the chocolate back to 90°F. The chocolate is now considered tempered and can be used for dipping or decorating.
5. Maintaining the Temper – If you leave the double-boiler assembled but remove it from the heat, we've found that the warm water in the bottom is usually enough to keep the chocolate tempered until we're finished dipping. You can also place the pan with chocolate on a warm heating pad. If the chocolate drops much below 90°F, you'll need to repeat all the steps to bring it back into temper.
Additional Notes:
• For smaller amounts of chocolate (less than 16-ounces), it can be easier to temper it in the microwave. Heat 2/3 of the chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring and checking the temperature between each burst. Add the seed chocolate, stir until smooth, and then re-heat in 30-second bursts until the chocolate is 90°.
• You can also add shortening or edible paraffin wax to thin out the chocolate and make a more delicate shell over whatever you're dipping. Add it a little at a time until you get a consistency you like.

Signs of Poorly Vented Plumbing Drain Lines
Signs of and solutions to a toilet venting problem
If you have air bubbles that rise up through your toilet bowl (except when it flushes) or notice the water level rising and falling, you probably have a clogged or improperly vented toilet. This is especially true when you have an appliance like a clothes washer nearby. Your drain line is gasping for air.
When you pour liquid from a can, you'll notice that it doesn't flow evenly unless you have a second opening for air. The same holds true for plumbing. As water goes down a drain, air is needed to equalize the pressure in the drain line.
This is the purpose of a venting system. If the drain lines in your home have poor venting (as in Figure A, for example), water rushing down the drains will pull water from nearby P-traps. The drain in the toilet bowl is basically a P-trap. If the problem just started, it's probably a blocked drain or vent that needs to be "snaked" out. And since the water in the toilet is dropping and gurgling, it's likely that the problem is near that area.
Unfortunately, a clogged or missing vent is tough to fix, since it usually requires breaking into the walls to examine the drain system. Unless you have plumbing experience, this project is best left to a professional.
Figure A: Common Example of Poorly Vented Drains
Venting in this system is missing, or the vents don't open to "free" air.

Dear Amy: Another Mother's Day has come and gone and I still don't know how to deal with the "Happy Mother's Day" greeting I get when I go to a store.
I am a female in my late 30s. I am not a mother (not by choice -- we have not been able to conceive) and my mother is deceased.
These statements are very upsetting and offensive to me because of these facts -- and the fact that people assume that because I am female, I must be a mom.
I can't be the only person who feels this way -- there are women who choose not to have children and others who are unable to have children.
Aside from not going out on that day, how can I respond to these people?
I want them to stop wishing me a "Happy Mother's Day" -- I have never seen this happen to men on Father's Day.
Do you have any suggestions?
-- Not a Happy Mother's Day
Dear Not: I realize that Mother's Day is challenging when you are struggling with fertility issues and the loss of your mother, but other people's innocuous comments really have nothing to do with you -- any more than the clerk's query, "Do you want fries with that?" is a dietary suggestion directed specifically to you.
"Happy Mother's Day" is just something that store clerks say on the second Sunday of May -- perhaps as an effort to push more greeting card sales -- or maybe they're just trying to be nice.
I can imagine that this day punctuates your sadness, but you don't really have grounds to be offended by people wishing you a boilerplate happy Mother's Day, and even if you were able to stop a clerk after the fact, he or she would no doubt go on to offend again -- and you would be re-offended by the next well-meaning person.
If you are looking for a response to this greeting, you can use the old polite standby: " ... and the same to you."
Dear Amy: I've been at my job for about seven months. For the most part, I love working here and am looking forward to a long career with this organization.
My problem involves a conflict I am having with my supervisor. She and I share an office with one other person. Our office has its own thermostat, which she has assumed control of.
She is petite and underweight and gets cold very easily.
Now that it's getting warmer outside, our office gets quite hot -- 80 degrees or higher. My supervisor will turn off the air-conditioning system altogether without checking in with anyone else, and seems content to go through the workday in a stuffy, stagnant room. Without air conditioning, I am finding it difficult to concentrate on my work -- my brain becomes foggy and sluggish, and it is very difficult to stay productive.
I've tried a desk fan, opening the window, but nothing works.
I have attempted to communicate with her on one occasion about this, but she was defensive and dismissive.
I don't want to just settle for being unproductive all summer.
I am considering going to human resources but fear this will make her hostile toward me. She is my supervisor, after all.
-- Frustrated
Dear Frustrated: If working all summer in an 80-plus-degree office isn't a hostile environment, I don't know what is.
Take note of where the thermostat is set and the actual temperature. Then take this matter to your supervisor. Start by telling her how much you love your job, and then ask her if there might be a way to compromise about the temperature. Say, "I want to do the best work I'm capable of, but I'm quite uncomfortable."
Depending on what your supervisor says and how she reacts to this reasonable request, you might then want to take your issue to HR.

I can't get lightsmark to run on raring with the default install. It complains about missing libGLEW.so.1.5 Only 1.8 exists in raring.
I "fixed" it by making a symlink, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.5
Some of the lighting tests do display incorrectly, but I'm not sure that's not just my hardware.

As most of us start to defrost after a long, ridiculously cold "early spring", let's celebrate the sunshine and warmer temps with a basket of beautiful butterfly and flower cookies. It's a great gift to bestow upon your deserving neighbor or just a fun weekend project to do with the kids. Either way, these adorable, springtime cookies will not disappoint.
Martha Stewart's Sugar Cookie Cutouts Recipe
Makes 18-20 four-inch cookies. NOTE: this recipe requires the dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight.
- 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Sprinkles and colorful icing for decorating
- Flower and butterfly cookie cutters
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Let one disk of dough stand at room temperature just until soft enough to roll, about 10 minutes. Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Cut out cookies with a 4-inch one-piece-shaped cookie cutter. Transfer cookie dough on plastic wrap to a baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to freezer, freeze until very firm, about 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from freezer and transfer shapes to baking sheets lined with nonstick baking mats. Roll out scraps, and repeat. Repeat with remaining disk of dough.
Bake, switching positions of sheets and rotating halfway through, until edges turn golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Orange store reports theft of almost 1000 gallons of gas
The Orange Police Department is investigating a series of gas thefts that the victim believes cost the convenience store close to $4000 and almost 1000 gallons of diesel fuel.
OPD Officer Patrick McDonald responded to a call from Crawdad's convenience store at 12099 Hwy 1442 in Orange on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at approximately 10:49 a.m. regarding three separate incidents in which diesel gas had been stolen from the store. The store manager and district manager met with officers and presented DVD recordings from three different dates, Nov. 24, Dec.1 and, most recently, Dec. 8. On each of those days, the store reportedly lost hundreds of gallons of gas amounting to a total of 977 gallons estimated to be valued at $3800.
Upon watching the DVDs, McDonald and the managers reported observing two tractor trailers pull up to pumps side-by-side, one blocking the camera's view of the other.
According to OPD Captain Cliff Hargrave, police are not yet certain how the gas was stolen or if the vehicles observed on the recordings were involved.
"We don't really know yet," Hargrave said. "They noticed some suspicious movements of some trucks, but we're not sure if they were involved. We don't know if they used a hose and ran it into the ground and pumped the gas that way or used an electronic device at the pump."
At this time, police have no suspects but were able to read a license plate from one of the vehicles the managers reported as suspicious.

In honor of Joe Dressner's big day, I thought it was fitting to open up one of his imports, the 2002 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie. That, and the potato leek soup Jennifer cooked up on a cool rainy Portland evening. What a dish (the soup, of course) and what a wine. Thanks Joe and company for bringing things like this to America. As I hope you can see, this eight year old bottle of cru Beaujolais came out of the cellar in perfect condition, appearing like it was bottled yesterday. The cork stained just on the end. The wine a dark translucent ruby color. The rest...well, in honor of Joe, I'll refrain from the typical tasting note. Suffice it to say this wine is aging wonderfully, with lovely perfume and zingy flavors that linger nicely. What some would call light and even thin, I call focused and energetic. Full of the woods and rain, not froot, with tang and grip that slaps you in the face ever so lovingly and commands your attention, then defers rightfully to a homemade meal. Perhaps like Joe himself. It's life giving stuff, fitting birthday wine. Here's to tomorrow.
ps - anyone know where I can find more of this stuff? I can't believe this is my last bottle. Fool.

Challah Knives
At each of the three meals eaten on Shabbat, the meal is started with a piece of bread. How this bread is distributed differs by tradition – Sephardic Jews tear the bread with their hands and Ashkenazi Jews cut the bread with a knife. Any knife can be used to cut the bread, but most people show respect for Shabbat by cutting the bread, or Challah, with a Challah knife.
A Challah knife is at its essence a fancy bread knife. It is usually between 10 and 15 inches long and has a stainless steel blade. The blade may have engravings on it; however, it is the handle that usually has Judaica artwork on it.
When picking out a Challah knife, the options are endless as there are no rules defining the Challah knife's shape, size and what may be engraved or painted on it. The most common Challah knives are made of wood, glass, ceramic and metal, although it is also possible to buy a knife with a stone handle.
Challah knives with wooden handles are usually hand-painted and lacquered. They usually are painted with views of Jerusalem, scenes from the Torah, the 7 species or something else related to Judaism. Challah knives with glass handles are usually brightly colored and there is often metal surrounding the glass. Ceramic handled Challah knives are usually fancy, brightly colored and usually have designs such as flowers and Jewish stars along with phrases such as the blessing made on bread or the word "Shabbat".
Metal Challah knives are usually sterling silver handle, and in particular 925 sterling silver, and have a stainless steel blade, although there are pewter handles as well. These silver Challah knives are usually engraved with a design such as Jerusalem, the name "Jerusalem" in Hebrew or English or a phrase like "Shabbat Kodesh", "Holy Sabbath", on either the handle or the blade. The handles of these knives can also be molded; some common shapes are Challot or sheaves of wheat. If you would like to mix the materials used to made a Challah knife's handle and create a fancy Challah knife that is practical and will also make a beautiful heirloom, you can embed pewter and Swarovski crystals into a ceramic handle and paint the handle to match the crystals.
Challah Knife Guide
It's that wonderful golden-brown, braided bread that everyone loves. It's at the heart of every Shabbat and holiday table, and it makes the best French Toast around! It's Challah, of course, and it's no ordinary bread.
What's So Special About Challah?
For forty years, while the Israelites wandered in the desert after having been freed from slavery to the Pharaoh in Egypt, G-d provided sustenance for them. Every night along with the drops of dew, the manna fell on the camp . . . every night, that is, except Shabbat, the Day of Rest. Instead, on the night before Shabbat, a double portion of manna fell so the Israelites would have enough to sustain them. To commemorate this double portion of manna, it is traditional to begin each Shabbat and holiday meal with two loaves of Challah.
After the Shabbat or holiday Kiddush, the Motzi, the traditional prayer for bread is recited: "Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, Ruler of the Universe, who brings forth bread from the earth." With that, each person at the table shares a piece of the Challah, and the festive meal begins.
What is Challah?
Challah is especially delicious bread, made from many eggs, flour, water, yeast, and sugar. Challah dough is usually rolled into long strands and braided before baking, creating an especially beautiful bread. It is brushed with egg, which gives it its lovely golden-brown color, and it is often sprinkled with poppy or sesame seeds. The sugar (or sometimes honey) gives Challah its special sweetness. The extra eggs give it its distinctive yellow color. And the Shabbat gives it its special meaning.
Challah is also part of the celebration of each Jewish holiday (except for Passover, when matzah takes its place). For Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to make a special Challah, which is twisted into a round shape instead of braided. This round shape symbolizes the cycle of the Jewish year and the round shape of the world (whose creation is celebrated on Rosh Hashanah). Many people also add raisins to the Rosh Hashanah Challah to make it especially sweet in the hope of a sweet New Year.
Challah Knives
Given its central role in Shabbat and holiday meals, Challah occupies a special place on the table and is treated as something of an honored guest. It is traditional to keep the Challah covered until the Motzi prayer is recited, and most families have a beautiful Challah Cover especially for this purpose. Challah is generally not sliced prior to the meal, so many people have special Challah Boards and Challah Knives which they use to slice the Challah just before it is eaten.
Challah Knives as Judaica
All of these items--Challah Covers, Boards, and Knives--can be quite beautiful works of Judaica and are often handed down from one generation of a family to another. Challah Knives are often made of silver and inscribed with the words of the Motzi prayer. Their handles can also be crafted from wood, ceramic, or stone, and painted or decorated with Jewish symbols. Challah Knives are often sold in sets with matching Challah Boards.
A Challah Knife makes an especially lovely wedding gift, as it can be used by the bride and groom when saying the Motzi and cutting the Challah that is eaten at their wedding reception.

For more information on Challah Knives or other Judaica items, feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

Donaldson Heading into Retirement
PLAINVIEW – Betty Donaldson, who has served as vice president for institutional advancement at Wayland Baptist University since April 2004, has announced her retirement, effective in February.
"Betty Donaldson has done a wonderful job at Wayland Baptist University as Vice President for Advancement," said WBU President Dr. Paul Armes. "Gifts have increased significantly during her tenure, and Betty has moved our advancement program ahead in significant and measureable ways. We will miss her, but we are grateful for her passionate service to and love for this school. We wish her and Larry every blessing in their retirement and ongoing encounters with grandchildren!"
Donaldson, a 1969 Wayland graduate and former Flying Queen, came to Wayland after more than three decades in the education sector. Her career began as a coach and PE teacher in the Frenship Independent School District, where she eventually became a principal and then the assistant superintendent for administrative services.
She also served as associate superintendent for administrative services for the Allen (Texas) I.S.D. and the Scottsdale, Ariz. Unified School District, and was vice president of Learning Bridges Educational Company in Arizona.
Donaldson received a master's degree from WBU in 1989 and the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2003. During her tenure at WBU, giving has steadily increased.
Donaldson and husband Larry, a 1969 WBU graduate who is retired from public education as well, will retire to their farm home in the Anna area. The couple has two sons and two grandchildren.
