I can always tell what mood I'm in based on my Friday Five posts. Apparently I'm in the mood for spring with the sheer dress, strappy high heels, ice cream, corn cakes topped with avocado, and spring cleaning. Are we even halfway through winter yet lol? I hope you enjoy the things I can't wait to try, buy or DIY this week.
- My resolution this year was to wear more color, so now my eye is drawn towards beautiful color combinations. I'm loving this mix of a yellow dress paired with purple high heels.
- Vanilla ice cream just isn't the same unless it's topped with a little chocolate. If your hot fudge jar is on empty, try this homemade hot fudge sauce recipe with ingredients you may have on hand.
- I love the idea of organizing measuring cups and spoons on the back of a cabinet door. You can find them easily and it clears out a little drawer space. I also love the conversion chart above it.
- This corn cakes topped with avacado relish recipe looks so fresh and yummy. I've been on an avocado kick lately {they're so dang good for you} and I would love to try this. If I do, I'll letcha know how it turns out.
- Just when I realized I needed a way to organize my scarves {they're hanging from purses in my closet at the moment}, I came across this scarf hanger diy on Pinterest made with a hanger and shower curtain rings. Smart n Snazzy also has a scarf hanger tutorial that will hold so many scarves on ribbon covered rings. I love it.
What were your must-haves this week? Did you try anything new? I'm always up for ideas!

Thanks for the shout-out Jen! I am loving your picks here; that dress and those heels are to DIE for! And what a killer idea of hanging the measuring cups and spoons on the back of a cupboard like that?!
You just saved my scarves!
I was JEN-spired this weekend and just had to make the corn cakes! I went to this amazing Mexican restaurant in DeLand Florida (called De La Vega) over the Christmas break and had the most AMAZING food ever and just had to have these again. Feel in love with guacamole and everything! Check it out…
Thanks so much for mentioning for organization chart. I really appreciate the shout out and link back.
Already helpfully contributing to my own New Year's intentions (I decided I was not going to make resolutions, cause I never get to them, instead I dubbed them intentions, to see if I can actually get them DONE).
I started my closet re-organization little by little, and by God will this tip may come handy for many things besides scarfs. Also, the more-color-resolution is up my list too. Keep up the recipes which look very yummy, and if you need variations for them just holler!!!!
Lots of love, like always, from sunny Puerto Rico.
YUM, that relish and the dessert look divine!!
I LOVE the scarf idea since I'm a scarf addict! Can't wait to try it! :)
[...] couple of Fridays ago, I wrote about my need to organize my scarves and I finally found a solution! This scarf hanger organizer was so easy to make, doesn't take [...]
OMG! That corn cake looks pretty amazing. I want some, too.
I also love the purple strappies!

An entire journey around the Earth ends at my table in a coffee cup at The Brazilian Bean cafe in Collins St. Those who are the best at their craft have had a hand in making my coffee where ever they are in the world. Beginning in Brazil where the coffee beans are grown, the green beans are then roasted in Italy, before being imported into Australia, ground and brewed by the proficient barrister here at this cafe in Melbourne.
A small coffee at The Brazilian Bean is $3. Initially I'm drawn in from the footpath by the blackboard special of fruit toast and coffee for $5. However once at the counter the egg, bacon and spinach rolls ($5) seem to call out my name from under the glass. Since my frugal breakfast budget is $5 which must buy the food and the compulsory morning coffee I go with the original plan and order the fruit toast and coffee special for $5. My coffee loyalty card is stamped which sets a cunning frugal plan in motion. If I keep coming back to The Brazilian Bean for breakfast I will achieve the free coffee and order the egg, bacon and spinach roll while remaining within the $5 budget. Dare to dream people!
And I will keep coming back. The fruit toast is the kind I always seek, packed with figs, dates, apricots, seeds and so on. The Italian coffee goes down smooth against the crunchy seeded fruit toast. Looking straight down Market St from the dining room at The Brazilian Bean I can count the number of illegal turns made by drivers in and out of Collins St. Otherwise there are newspapers to read if counting cars some how does not excite you.
Cooked breakfasts at The Brazilian Bean such as eggs Benedict start at $9.50.
Criticism: Its possible that the landlord is more of a miser than even Foo. On winter mornings at 7:30am when I eat breaky, The Brazilian Bean cafe is intolerably cold. For this reason I favour this cafe in the warmer months only. There are cosier budget cafes nearby in winter such as Moat, Hydra and the Bee Hive.

Press Pass: Q4 Roundup
Activision's unorthodox early review access
Press Pass readers know how hard it can be for journalists to secure early copies of games so they can prepare those crucial release-day reviews. But a couple of recent stories highlighted the hoops one company is making reviewers jump through to get limited early access to its games.
The first story, from Ars Technica, highlights the somewhat unorthodox situation behind early reviewer access to Activision's Modern Warfare 2. Rather than send reviewers a final build of the game, as is customary, Activision instead flew select reviewers out to Santa Monica, put them up in hotel suites, and had them play through the single and multiplayer modes during a tightly scheduled event. As the Ars article described it (based on a report from an anonymous attendee): "Reviewers were given a hotel room with a high-definition display, a surround-sound system, and a headset. The game was delivered on a hard drive, and progress was saved on memory cards that were collected after the event. The game was played in marathon sessions so reviewers could finish the single-player campaign."
This is not the ideal environment for reviewing Tony Hawk: Ride...
Activision also granted somewhat unorthodox early access to the recently released Tony Hawk: Ride, as Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann described in a recent podcast. Instead of sending Gerstmann and others a copy of the $120 skateboard controller bundle, Activision invited them to a three-hour company-hosted event to try the game on a Saturday. Gerstmann bristled at this limited early access and ended up purchasing his own copy for the review. "Do you really want to read the Day One review I would write after fighting the public and maybe playing the game for 20 minutes?" he asked rhetorically. Most other sites apparently felt similarly about this limited access, as Metacritic listed only one review for the game on the evening of its launch.
While these kinds of limited early-review access events are rare, they're not entirely unheard of -- publishers held similar events for Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV, recently. Even if they're rare, though, such tightly controlled review access definitely brings up some important questions about the relationship between reviewer and publisher. Should a reviewer accept free travel and/or controlled conditions from a publisher, even if it's the only way to get early access to a game (some outlets struggled with the decision, but many were apparently unconcerned)? If they do accept, should outlets reveal the circumstances behind such reviews to their readers (a few did, but many did not)? Should sites reject such early access and simply run a later review of a retail copy (Crispy's own Scott Jones certainly thinks so)? Does the controlled environment affect the content of the review (I'd say yes, even if the effect is subtle)? Does the exclusive nature of some of these events lock out smaller sites that need release-day reviews to compete and grow? (Definitely.)
The most important question I have for these publishers, though, is: What's wrong with the system of simply sending games to reviewers? Sure, it's not perfect (again, see this earlier column), but it's worked reasonably well at allowing many outlets to get timely and relatively independent reviews up. I'm afraid by trying to tighten their grip on the circumstances surrounding early access to games, these publishers are going to find more and more reviewers trying to wriggle out from the restrictions, either by holding off on their reviews, noting the circumstances in the text, or simply being more negatively inclined toward the game itself.
On the spoke missing from IGN's MusicHub
Back in October, One Last Continue's Austin Walker noticed an odd omission from IGN's then-newly-launched MusicHub page. While the site had plenty of coverage for Activision's Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and Band Hero, there was next-to-no coverage of MTV Games' competing Rock Band titles. While the site wasn't labeled as an advertisement, the odd coverage gap and description as an "official" site was enough to get Austin asking the obvious question: "Is this entire site a massive, dayglo advertisement paid for by Bobby Kotick's Activision?" Even failing that, there were plenty of other questions for IGN: "Why make a centralized music game site that doesn't cover both of the industry's biggest titles in that genre? Is this just poor reporting?"
IGN's Peer Schneider soon responded to these and other questions, describing the site as simply a community hub for the Hero games. Much like IGN's Vault sites or GameSpy's Planet network, this hub is hosted by IGN, but not written or fully controlled by IGN staffers, Schneider explained. While Activision happens to advertise on the site, it has no control over the editorial content, Schneider said.
On first glance, does this really look like a "community" site? Really?
As for the omission of any Rock Band content, Schneider explained that the site was always designed to be focused exclusively on the "Hero" series, just as IGN community sites like Grand Theft Auto 'Hood or City of Heroes Vault focus on those series. While acknowledging that the "MusicHub" branding makes it seem like the site should cover all music games, Schneider hinted there were legal issues with more Hero-specific names. "We didn't try to pass off our 'Hero' community site as a site that covers all music games -- but we've received some complaints, including yours, that told us the site's mission isn't defined enough," he said. "Since we're dealing with a third-party brand, there were limitations to what we were able to call the site. We're looking for ways to make the presentation more clear."
Since then, IGN has changed the site's headline banner to make the focus on Hero games clearer. Still, the site's general layout and branding make it look much more like an official IGN or Activision entity than comparable IGN community sites like Planet Call of Duty or PlanetDOOM.
Regardless, the fact that there was any question as to who or what was behind the confusingly named site shows not just a problem on IGN's part, but on the part of game journalism in general. On the Internet, it can be harder than ever to tell what's an advertisement masked as editorial content, what's user-produced content masked as original editor-produced content, and who, exactly, is behind what you're reading or watching. The difference between these different types of content has to be crystal-clear, or we risk losing the trust of our audience altogether.

Quote of the moment
"There is no compelling reason to focus on quality, you should literally just spend that money and time on marketing." -- EEDAR Director of Analyst Services Jesse Divnich, at the Montreal International Games Summit, on whether advertising or review scores has more influence on the sales success of a game. He also said that advertising affected a game's revenue "three times more than game scores." (Both quotes courtesy of Edge).

- NOISE NOISE NOISESylarDined on 9/26/2014When you can't hear your table mates because of the surrounding noise, dinner becomes uncomfortable. If you shout to be heard then other tables will be moved to shout even louder. We really weren;t interested in the subjects at adjoining tables, but were forced to hear.
- Reservation timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014We had a reservation for 8:45pm and when we got there they advised us to wait 5 mintues. We ended up sitting at our table at 9:12Pm. We were not happy about that but at the end we were there to eat and the food was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dannyd04072000Dined on 9/19/2014Excellent food. Prepared perfectly. Service was good, however, not outstanding. Servers could be a bit more attentive to guest needs (pepper mill, and Parmesan should not have to be asked for--repeatedly). All in all, the Italian food was right on. Highly recommended.Special Features:

- business dinner in Coral gablessummer14Dined on 9/16/2014Enjoyed a business dinner, party of 3 on a Tues night at Anacapri. The setting is very pleasant and a decent crowd for Tues in September. All food was well received and special praise for Snapper Francese as it was very flavorful, well prepared and not at all soggy. Enjoyed a nice 2008 Brunelo wine recommended by our waiter. Very pleasant evening.Special Features:
- Not your typical Gables restaurant!MeBeDined on 9/14/2014Some Coral Gables restaurants have a reputation for being "snobby", not this restaurant! We had a wonderful dinner meal off the Miami Spice dinner menu, we were seated promptly, and our meal was served without a flaw. The only minor glitch was in securing salt for the table. It took two requests. The meals (Lamb & fish) were served as ordered, and all were exceptional. The Cheese appetizer was unexpectly sweet, no bad, just unanticipated. Once we adjusted our expectation, the dish was delightful. Also, two members in our party have hearing issues - even with a very crowded bar area about seven feet away, due to the finishes in the restaurant, our table was both quiet and intimate. We appreciated it and will return.Special Features:
- Rock solid food, service, ambienceroger313131VIPDined on 8/29/2014It's rare to find any public place in South Fla that has the warmth of a friendly home, thoughtful and attentive service, where the word "no" isn't in their lexicon. Well, Anacapri in the Gables is such a rare place, and I've not even mentioned the consistently delicious food, a wide selection of classic Italian dishes, pastas, salads, and desserts. I've become a frequent visitor and will return many more times, with friends and family. Highest possible recommendation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Service was not good.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014The food at Ana Capri is Outstanding however the service was terrible. We went for a group lunch a friend that is retiring. Only half of our group was given menus. We then had to share menus and wait 20 minutes for the host to bring out more menus. It then took a very long time for the waiter to bring out drinks and bread. We had to ask twice for straws and balsamic. I have goon here may times before with my husband and in groups and never had an issue with service. I would not recommend Ana Carpi for lunch again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner to noisyDiningfanDined on 8/23/2014Food was very good. Service was good, but the restaurant was very crowded, waiter was overwhelmed. The noise level was very high, not the place for a quiet dinner.Special Features:
- Okay experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014I was hoping the food would be a bit more flavorful, especially the pasta. The lasagna was alright, the meat sauce that came w the tortellini was really good but did quite make up for the plain tasting stuffed tortellini. The lamb chops were tasty and tender. Great wine list.Special Features:
- neighborhood gemelimarVIPDined on 8/19/2014Their eggplant parmesan is outstanding !!!! We had a delicious glass of Chianti followed by a very fresh Caesar salad. They even put a real anchovy in the salad. No bottle dressing here. Then we had the eggplant which is perfectly cooked, The servings are generous and we took food home for lunch .We have since gone back and have not been disappointed.Special Features:

- Go to PinecrestluvgoodfoodDined on 8/10/2014We ate here after our God-daughter's baptism. The food was highly forgettable, unfortunately! We had Lentil soup, which was the highlight of our meal. Our main dishes of Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parmesan lacked tenderness and depth. Our group's other members left over their food, and our hope for dessert was dashed when the tiramisu seemed at least 1 day old, and had no pop of flavor. We feel that this location will be an anchor to the Pinecrest Anacapri, which we have enjoyed on many previous occasions.Special Features:
- Great place!diningoutDined on 8/8/2014We tried the Miami spice menu, good portions great food! Definitely worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Ready for Miami SpiceWesleyDined on 8/2/2014My wife and I went here the first Saturday during Miami Spice month. I am not sure if this restaurant has participated in previous years, but I do not think this place was ready for it. The restaurant was full and seemed understaffed. The service suffered greatly because of it. They did not have the ossobuco, which to me was the best entree choice on the Miami Spice menu. We ordered our food and waited over 45 minutes before we received it. They served us our entrees, and the busboy was surprised when we said that we have yet to receive our appetizers. The food was not the long wait nor the poor service. If you are looking for a good Miami Spice restaurant, look elsewhere.
- Extremely noisy.HollyDined on 8/2/2014Both Friday & Saturday they ran out of the main dish. Ossobuco. Disappointed.I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3rd time is a charmBoatsDined on 7/30/2014We had our wedding reception at Anacapri on Ponce three years ago and have come back each year on our annivesary to celebrate and received VIP treatment as always. The veal francese over a bed of spinach was amazing and my wife tried a daily special of shrimp and aspargus ravioli that was also out of this world. Service was impeccable, it always is.Special Features:

- Wonderful!!HumanNatureVIPDined on 7/2/2014I can't find one negative about this place. It's a quaint neighborhood gem. Excellent Italian! My favorite is the eggplant parma with a side of pasta.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceeded our expectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/27/2014We had a table for 6 - birthday celebration - everyone thought their dinner was exceptional, service was attentive without being overbearing, food, drinks and wine came promptly - all-in-all a great evening. As someone who dines out constantly, I have one suggestion - I wish all restaurants with hard surfaces would look into ceiling sound baffles to lower the din. As the restaurant fills up, diners start to speak louder and louder in order to be heard by their fellow diners - the din becomes so distracting that one can barely focus on the food regardless of how good it is.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local gemelimarVIPDined on 6/24/2014Since dining at this restaurant, I have gone back twice and enjoyed it as much as the first time. The portions are huge and this is a family style restaurant. By far, the best eggplant parmigiani I had in years. My dining partners concurred. The Ceasar salad was delicious and the wine selections excellent. This is one of my new favorite restaurants!! The wait staff is very attentive even during the finals of the World Cup.Special Features:

- Food was good. Service was great!SteakLoverDined on 6/8/2014Loved this place. We were a party of 4 on a Sunday Evening and the place was very quiet! Maybe two other tables were occupied. Can't say it was romantic because it was very bright even after the sun went down we still noticed a lack of that Italian feel we look for in Italian restaurants. Food was great. I didn't see any vodka sauce dishes on the menu. But the chef put together a penne ala vodka that was quite exceptional. We spent right at $100 for 4 people so prices weren't bad. We will go back on our next trip to Miami.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Why is it that a number of issues that had been present before I requested technical support from Cat Byte which seemed to have resolved a number of computer issues I had, is slowly coming back, and had, actually became worse?
Issues as follows also started thereafter:
1. It takes longer to shut down with lots of boxes prompting me to close programs that I can't see running;
2. My laptop freezes at least once a day, which forces me to manually switch it off, and, a number of times it hibernates while I'm working on the keyboard;
3. The laptop's audio is still mute. How should I resolve these issues?

To the squawker wanting to know the website of school system rankings: If you just Google "Georgia School System Rankings," the first choice is from "School Digger." The actual web address is www.schooldigger.com/go/GA/districtrank.aspx.
There is a place to type in the system you are looking for, and Dougherty comes in at No. 129 and Lee comes in at No. 20. It lists the number of students and schools in the system, too. Dougherty County schools can take comfort in knowing that Sumter County is on the last page of the list at No. 161, though, if that makes them feel any better.
I mentioned this in the comments on a Squawk of the Day back during the Christmas holidays. If you read the comments on The Albany Herald's website (www.albanyherald.com), you will find out many things and be entertained at the same time. It is one of my favorite sites.

I'm having the hardest time preventing scrambled eggs from sticking to stainless steel cookware. I've tried bringing the eggs to room temperature before cooking, slowly heating the pan, loads of butter (tasted great, still stuck), adding milk to the eggs. How can I prevent scrambled eggs from sticking to stainless steel?
try a cast iron pan, best alternative to non-stick
The worst thing you can do from a sticking point of view is slowly heat the pan with scrambled eggs, the pan must be hot enough to get them sizzling right away or they'll act like glue. That's the opposite of what you want to do of course, as the slower you cook the eggs the better they taste, which is why I always cook mine in a non-stick pan.
Start with medium heat and get the pan hot but put a tablespoon of butter before it gets too hot. Once the foaming stops, add the eggs into the pan and stir constantly but reduce the heat to low. I add about a tablespoon of milk to my eggs.
If it starts sticking to the bottom while you're stirring, then the pan has gotten too hot. Just move it off the burner and continue stirring.
Raw protein sticks to hot stainless steel as soon as it comes into contact with it. However, once the layer which is stuck to the pan cooks through, it releases from the pan. The trick is to heat the pan over a low heat before adding the eggs, then don't touch them until there is a layer of cooked egg on the bottom - about a minute or two. Then when you start stirring, the cooked egg will easily peel off the bottom and the pan will be sufficiently seasoned so that the rest of the egg doesn't stick to it.
Well, if you must use a stainless steel pan (you should ideally use a non-stick pan) the two things you must do is -
1/ Cook over the lowest heat you can get on your cooker hob and,
2/ Stir continuously, don't stop for a second.
It's a similar principle to making roux (fat and flour) cook over low heat and stir continuously otherwise it sticks and burns.
That's what's happening to your eggs, they're sticking and burning because they're cooking too fast (because the heat's too high) and sticking because you're not stirring enough or fast enough to stop them sticking.
If you're willing do deviate from the traditional method, Daniel Patterson (of two-michelin-starred Coi) was tasked by his wife to scramble eggs without using a non-stick pan and developed this poaching method:
I haven't tried it myself, but it's on my todo list.

RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU) - The auditorium was full Tuesday night, as community members told Rhinelander School Board members they want to save their teachers, charter schools, and elective programs.
After several people told board members they wanted to keep Rhinelander schools structured the way they are now, the board voted unanimously to ask voters in a referendum what they want to do. The district is about three million dollars short in their budget, and they need to make tough cuts or find new revenue.
If the referendum fails, two charter schools, some extracurricular activities and all elective courses would likely get the budget axe. Eight full-time teachers would also be laid off.
Superintendent Dr. Roger Erdahl believes the referendum has a good chance of passing.

TEAMS: Chicago Bears
Via Helmet2Helmet:
One of this year's proposed rule changes includes one that'd make it illegal for runners to lead with the crown of their helmets when outside the tackle box.
Matt Forte is not a fan.
The Bears running back took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, calling it the "most absurd suggestion of a rule change."
The proposed rule change for running backs might be the most absurd suggestion of a rule change I've ever heard of.— Matt Forte (@MattForte22) March 17, 2013
Forte continued:
In order to lower ur shoulder u obviously have to lower ur head. It's a way of protecting ur self from a tackler and a way to break tackles— Matt Forte (@MattForte22) March 17, 2013
U can't change the instinctive nature of running the football.— Matt Forte (@MattForte22) March 17, 2013
Hard to argue with Forte, who knows a thing or two about carrying the football. His opinion aside, however, the NFL's Competition Committee will do what it thinks is right in the name of player safety.
With this week's league meeting taking place in Arizona, this proposal is sure to be a major topic of conversation. And, if Forte has the pulse of his peers, probably not in a positive light.

California's long run as a boom state will sputter to an end as population growth rates consistently fall below 1 percent a year in the coming decades, according to state Department of Finance projections released Thursday.
The trend has already started. For the last several years, more residents have left California for other states than arrived from them, birth rates have declined and foreign immigration has slowed.
As the nation's most populous state, California will continue to add a lot of people about 300,000 residents per year, on average, through 2060 but the rate of growth will be akin to places that Americans have historically left behind to try their luck here.
The Sacramento region will grow slightly faster than the state as a whole, but also will see a sharp decline in growth rates from previous decades, according to the new projections.
Population growth has historically fed the California and Sacramento economies, increasing demand for everything from housing to health care. If growth stalls, it will be harder for the state to recover quickly from the recent recession, said Jeff Michael, director of the Business Forecasting Center at the University of the Pacific.
"This would represent a very significant slowdown in the long-term growth rates," he said. "It has real implications first and foremost for the housing market, for the construction sector and all areas of the service sector."
Many will nonetheless welcome a pause. As Michael and others noted, population growth has also fed the sprawl, traffic and pollution that have diminished the state's reputation.
A slowdown could give California and Sacramento breathing room to make significant changes and grow smarter, said Alex Kelter, former president of the Environmental Council of Sacramento.
"We need to do a whole lot better, particularly outside the incorporated areas," he said. "This will give us a good chance to step back."
Bill Schooling directs the research unit that compiled the population projections, using assumptions about birth rates, death rates and migration patterns. He said the new figures do not signal a crisis.
California is a huge state, which means it can add a lot of people with only a small rate of growth, he said. Even with average growth rates below 1 percent, it will add about 15 million residents during the next 50 years, more people than currently reside in Pennsylvania or Illinois.
The population boom of the last several decades was unsustainable, Schooling said, and there will be enough people still coming to support the state's economy.
In the short run, the state will even see a slight uptick in growth rates by 2020 from current levels before another decline, Schooling said.
"California is still a young, dynamic state, and we are still growing," he said.
Much of the growth that does occur in the coming decades will be driven by sharp increases in the number of Latinos and Asians. By next year, Latinos will be the largest ethnic group in California, surpassing whites.
The San Joaquin Valley, which is already home to millions of Latinos and Asians, will be the largest exception to the slow-growth trend seen elsewhere.
Fresno County will grow by 75 percent during the next five decades, as its Latino population roughly doubles. Stanislaus County will have more people than either San Francisco or San Mateo counties by 2060, with Latinos accounting for two-thirds of the county's growth.
Closer to home, the Sacramento region's population will rise, on average, about 0.9 percent a year through 2060, according to the Department of Finance, compared with 0.7 percent a year statewide.
That's a far cry from the region's recent history of growth.
During the previous two decades, the four-county region's population increased by 45 percent. During the next two decades, it will increase by about 22 percent.
In Elk Grove, which incorporated as a city in 2000, the double-digit rate of growth eight years ago was so brisk that census figures showed it was the fastest-growing city in the nation.
Last year, the city's population grew by 1 percent.
"What's most alarming is the lack of business," said longtime Elk Grove City Councilman Jim Cooper. "We have a housing and job imbalance that we've been trying to rectify."
Placer County Supervisor Kirk Uhler, who lives in Roseville, sees too many people leaving California for other states. Many of those left behind, he said, are older or poorer residents dependent on expensive government services.
"For those of us in local government, it's a horrifying thought," he said. "It's a shrinking of the economic base."
The most visible recent sign of the slowdown in growth is the announcement by Sacramento City Unified School District officials that they may close 11 schools due to declining enrollment.
Because of the aging of the urban population, said district spokesman Gabe Ross, the district has lost 10 percent of its enrollment in the past decade, with 47,000 students currently enrolled.
"That's down 800 students from last year, and we expect to lose another 800 next year," said Ross. "In our district, our elementary schools are only filled to 56 percent of capacity. We have a system of neighborhood schools built to accommodate a larger population.
"That's the reality for us and how the numbers affect us. The (Finance Department) projections are not a trend that surprises me. It's a challenge for us."
Still, most of those concerned about the slowdown in population growth also expressed optimism that their communities were strong enough to endure it.
"I think it's a good thing," said Tom Cosgrove, who moved to Lincoln 27 years ago and was a City Council member for much of that time. "Growth at a steady, slow rate gives more predictability, and it gives the local government and community the chance to absorb that growth."
Others note that predicting the future of California has confounded the state's brightest minds for decades. Who can say that there won't be another housing boom in 15 years or that another flood of Bay Area transplants won't hit Sacramento in 10?
"People want a safe place to live and a good place to raise a family," said Cooper, arguing that Elk Grove will turn out fine. "I still see families looking to move to better neighborhoods."

I hope you guys like pie. Because you're going to see a lot of it over the next few weeks. Why?
Because it's the Two Weeks of Pie! (#2weeksofpie)
November is all about getting ready for Thanksgiving, and pie is the star of Thanksgiving.
{What? You think the star is Turkey? Pfft.}
So, to get you ready for Thanksgiving and all things wonderful and pie, I'm going to share (at least) 6 pie recipes with you!
Aren't you excited?
First up: Snickers Peanut Butter Pie.
But wait. Before we get into talking about how amazing this pie is, I have an announcement.
Jordan started a blog. {Really, I wonder why it's taken so long.}
It's called Let's Do This Kids and I really have no idea what direction she'll take it in. I don't think she knows either, she just wants to be like her mom. If you're interested, go be her BFF. And remember, she's only 7. So take the spelling, grammatical errors, and punctuation problems in stride, mmkay?
Alright, now back to this bad boy.
I think I impressed myself with this one. It's a pie crust and a brownie base. Fabulous.
Then, I mixed up some fluff and peanut butter. Did you know that makes nougat? Rich, peanut buttery nougat? And I spread it on top the brownies.
Then I melted some caramels and added peanuts. And topped the pie with a hot fudge drizzle and some cut up Snickers bars.
It's a mouthful, let me tell you. A rich, indulgent, delicious mouthful.
Worth every single calorie!
You gotta make this pie. Really you do. Your in-laws will be awed by your greatness!
Hey, do you follow me on Facebook? Be sure to stop by my page tomorrow. Starting at 6am PST, I'm hosting a Facebook Pie Party! Full directions will be listed there, but the gist is that you share your favorite pie recipe (and a photo you took) on my Facebook wall. Then, throughout the day, I'll share all your goodies.
Oh, and you know what? Speaking of all things pie, Cheryl over at Tidy Mom is doing her #Lovethepie linky again next week. Get your ovens ready!
Come join Love the Pie with TidyMom sponsored by Whirlpool and enter to win a new Whirlpool Range!
Brownie recipe adapted from Hershey's.
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 pie crust
- 1 jar marshmallow fluff (7 ounces)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 17 caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup peanuts
- 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce
- 3 snack sized Snickers bars, cut into fourths
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll your pie crust and line your pie plate with it.
- Stir melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Pour over crust.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before topping.
- Stir together peanut butter and fluff in a large bowl. (You can use a hand mixer if you want.) Spread evenly over brownie layer.
- Place caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Once the caramel is all melted together, stir in the peanuts and spread over the fluff mixture.
- Warm your jar of hot fudge sauce in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds). Place in a ziploc bag with the tip cut off and drizzle over pie.
- Place sliced Snickers bars around the edge for decoration.
Serve pie at room temperature.

The Differences Between East & West Coast Shoppers
A new report on mobile consumer behavior says that stereotypes about East Coast versus West Coast lifestyles may actually be true.
Mobile data and analytics firm Sense Networks examined and compared East and West Coast consumers' click-through rates, or CTR, on advertising deals over this summer.
The results were, well, somewhat predictable. West Coasters were more likely to click on advertisements for health and fitness deals, including Pilates, golf, and dance classes. East Coast users, however, were more attracted to nightlife and restaurant deals, the report found.
The report also showed that East Coast consumers seem to be more concerned with education, as the CTR for education deals, such as art and photography classes, were 60% higher than for their West Coast counterparts.
The most alluring advertisements for West Coast users, according to the data, were manicure-pedicure and Pilates deals, while optical and eye-doctor deals were the most popular on the East Coast.

The importance of our right to know - see what happens in Hungary now
Dear TAI Partners, TAI Hungary receives many phonecalls and emails from the Hungarian media after the deadly toxic mud spill in Northern Hungary. TV news such as Echo TV (see the attachment) or internet news portals as well as the weekend issue of the most widely distributed daily newspaper of Hungary all refer to EMLA when asking about legal implications of the disaster.
Malaysian regional state tables freedom of informationa law
A regional government in Malaysia became the first in the country to table a Freedom of Information (FOI) law, potentially joining more than 80 countries worldwide to introduce such a law. The legislation was tabled by the Federal Opposition party, Pakatan Rakyat (People's Coalition) in Selangor on 14 July 2010 with the aim of promoting citizen's rights to access to information and promote transparency and good governance.

This is a great tent but it's classified as a freestanding tent which it is not. The tent is great. I used it for a week in oregon on a climbing trip. It was easy to setup, light, totally weatherproof and comfortable. I was the only one in the tent and I'm a regular sized girl and I found it relatively small compared to other tents I've had. It would be small for 2 people for sure. My problem with this tent is if you are unable to stake it out complete you loose A LOT of space. So while it says it's freestanding its not. It has to be staked out and even when it is it's still pretty small. If your willing to be a little cramped it's a great tent. Especially for 1 person!Pros: Build quality, Performance, Cons: Bad design

Recently, tensions in the Middle East have skyrocketed when Israel blamed Iran for two separate attacks on February the 13th and 14th. The first was a join attack perpetrated against the capitals of India and Georgia against Israeli Embassy personal, the second in a residential neighborhood in Bangkok, Thailand. While it is impossible to be 100 percent certain that Iran was behind the attacks, rumors are just as powerful as truth when it comes to matters of international diplomacy.
This escalation of tension comes at a time when Iran has pushed forward on its nuclear program despite fresh rounds of sanctions and international condemnation. Iran in one word is unpredictable. They engage in talks to stop nuclear talks when beneficial, threaten to cut off oil production when beneficial, and then turn around and trumpet their nuclear progress at every opportunity.
Due to the rising tensions between Iran and the United States' ally Israel and due to Iran's game of nuclear chicken, the debate of how the United States should proceed in relation to Iran has become a more and more contentious topic. If Israel were to retaliate and precipitate a game of murderous one-ups-man-ship with Iran, the United States could be dragged into another war. Some say that the Iran threat is overblown, but in a post 9/11 United States, any threat is magnified to the American people, and the American government should act according to the interests of the people.
Some advocate outright war or covert action. To an America that is finally managing to disentangle itself from previous engagements, that solution to the problem is overblown to a war weary country. Covert action faces the problem that while the action may be covert, the results are very public. It is hard to disguise a burnt out building or a murdered diplomat, and with the current state of relations, no matter how covert the action, the United States, or Israel, would be blamed by Iran. War would soon follow.
The optimal solution lies somewhere in the center. Not lying down and taking it as Iran manipulates oil prices and pushes forward on its nuclear program, but short of hostile action.
The action taken should be suitable to cause Iran to deviate from its current path of bold defiance.
The naturally solution is comprehensive sanctions by the majority of the countries that Iran exports to. The problem with that is that the last round of sanctions, so far, has not caused
Iran to back down. But these sanctions were not comprehensive enough. Russia, India, China,
and Turkey have not signed on, leaving Iran with willing consumers of its main export, oil.
Japan and South Korea has indicated willingness to impose more sanctions, on the condition that the economic repercussions are further investigated.
The first step of action is for the United States to convince Japan and South Korea to sign on and then for the United States to evaluate the impact of the sanctions after they have
had a few months to affect the Iranian economy. If Iran has not acquiesced to the nuclear
restrictions imposed on it and halted its actions against Israel, other options, including UN co-
sponsored action against Iranian nuclear facilities should be considered.

The region is a nature-lover's paradise with opportunities to soak in the sights on foot, by car and on horseback. Giovanna Dell'Orto visited seven parks from Phoenix to El Paso, Texas, during two weeks this spring. Here are some highlights.
Two-storey-high saguaros (giant cactus), ocotillo bushes tipped with scarlet blooms, and blossoming Palo Verde trees border the steeply-rising switchbacks on the first mile of the Hugh Norris Trail in the western district of Saguaro National Park.
At the ridgetop, falcons soared as dusk settled onto one of the densest concentrations of saguaros in the Sonoran Desert, many more than a century old. In the distance stood Signal Hill, where the Hohokam people carved petroglyphs hundreds of years ago. Although Tucson, Ariz., bisects the park's two districts, silence on the trail is unbroken. I even stopped clapping my hands, a snake-chasing technique suggested by hikers startled by my monologue.
Deep inside Bear Canyon, seven waterfalls gurgled amid rocky walls studded with cactus and spring flowers.
This 13-kilometre roundtrip hike in Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, just north of Tucson, is a parade of Southwest wilderness bests.
There, we found saguaro standing silhouetted against mountain peaks and a cottonwood-lined river gorge.
We also found a respite: chilly rock pools, perfect for dipping battered feet.
Follow I-10 east more than 160 kilometres from Tucson, across a desert so wide that the mountains look like they're hanging off a round horizon. Then head toward the border to either Rock Hound State Park, in Deming, N.M., or Chiricahua National Monument, Ariz.
On the last 20 kilometres of the trip, from I-10 to Rock Hound, only three moving objects crossed my road: a border-patrol truck, a longhorn steer, and a tumbleweed nearly as large as the other two.
A life-size photo of a rearing rattler in the park nearly destroyed my plan of poking through rocky ravines hunting for minerals. But a geologist from Michigan - armed with a stick and pickaxe - agreed to take me along the Jasper Trail.
The park allows visitors to collect up to seven kilograms of rocks, and I filled my pockets with salmon-pink jasper and translucent quartz. I also picked up a weird, pimpled round rock, about 10 centimetres across. The nearby Red Roof Rock Shop sawed it in two - $3 for a half-hour of work - to reveal gorgeous sparkling blue agate nestled against pale violet rhyolite, a type of rock known as a thunderegg. Take that, snakes.
Strolling from bright marker to marker across white dunes, as the wind obliterated my footprints, I could have been in a blizzard or on a beach.
But a few tall, spiky yucca plants sprouting from the gypsum sand signalled that this was desert, part of 713 square kilometres of constantly shifting dunes at White Sands National Monument.
The remote area sits in the middle of a missile range in southern New Mexico.
Call before driving the 87 kilometres from Las Cruces to make sure a test hasn't closed the road.
One of the most iconic Southwest U.S. hikes is smack in the middle of Phoenix.
The experience of clambering up the 824-metre Camelback Mountain starts
with fighting for a parking spot and ends with the rush of bagging a genuine peak. Hikers use metal handrails in spots to pull themselves up the red rocks, which resemble the face and hump of a camel.
When I wasn't climbing on all fours, or letting crowds pass me, I took in 360-degree views of distant mountain ranges and closer golf courses and pools, framed by tall saguaros, blooming and fragrant creosote and orange poppy buds.
"Watch out, it's poisonous," I told a kid who was getting too close to a Gila monster, a large, venomous spotted lizard.
Then I smiled - I sure had come a long way.

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. (AP/WBOC) - Tens of thousands of visitors watched dozens of ponies make their 88th swim from Assateague Island to Chincoteague Wednesday.
The so-called Saltwater Cowboys rounded up approximately 150 ponies living on Assateague for the swim, which went on in spite of a storm forming off of Virginia's coast.
The first foal ashore was crowned "King Neptune," and given away at a raffle on the carnival grounds.
The other foals are auctioned off Thursday, beginning at 8 a.m., to raise money for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company. The fire company takes care of those ponies. Organizers say the auction also helps control the size of the herd.
Last year, auctioning off 67 ponies raised nearly $97,000: The highest bid was $7,000 and the lowest, $400.
Auction winners receive a certificate saying they have purchased an official Chincoteague pony.
Ponies that go unsold and those that are donated back to the fire department will roam free for another year on the national wildlife refuge on Assateague.
The spectacle celebrated by Marguerite Henry's 1947 novel "Misty of Chincoteague."

What is Creme de la Femme?
Creme de la Femme is an all-natural vaginal lubricant. Developed by a woman doctor and trusted by women for over 25 years, it is a luxurious vaginal cream that leaves protective, silky moisture on intimate tissue—giving instant relief from uncomfortable vaginal dryness, no matter why it happens.
What are the causes of vaginal dryness?
Anytime a woman's estrogen hormone level gets too low, the result is vaginal dryness. If delicate intimate tissue stays dry too long, it can become painful. Over time, vaginal irritation and infection can occur. Estrogen can diminish for many reasons. Menopause is the most common cause. By age 50, more than 75% of women are living with uncomfortable vaginal dryness. Other reasons for low-estrogen include breastfeeding, ovarian dysfunction, hysterectomy, extreme exhaustion, prolonged stress, intense exercise, chemotherapy and some prescription drugs (including birth control pills).
How does Creme de la Femme work?
It works a lot like the richest, most luxurious facial moisturizers. It protects tissue with an ultra-thin layer of "fluid-film" lubrication and slows down the vaginal atrophy (tissue shrinkage) that is a normal part of aging. Of course, only prescription hormone can replenish estrogen that a woman's body no longer makes on its own. But in recent years, concerns about the medical risks of such hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have worried many women, their doctors and pharmacists. Creme de la Femme is a safe alternative.
How often should Creme de la Femme be used?
Because Creme de la Femme is made exclusively from natural ingredients, it can be applied as often as desired. For all-day comfort, some women like to apply it externally after their bath or shower. Others prefer to use the thin applicator that comes sealed in every box, to apply the lubricant internally. You will probably want to apply daily—at least initially—to replenish moisture and stop vaginal irritation. Eventually, you may find that you can use it less often. In addition, most women apply more before intercourse. Creme de la Femme is self-cleansing, so it leaves no messy residue and never requires follow-up douching.
What are the ingredients in Creme de la Femme?
Creme de la Femme is a blend of extremely pure mineral oil and pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum combined with paraffin and ceresin (cosmetic waxes). So Creme de la Femme is an oil-based vaginal lubricant that remains semi-solid at room temperature. Then the instant it touches warm skin, it melts into silky, sheer moisture. Unlike other vaginal lubricants, Creme de la Femme contains no alcohol, dyes or glycerin. All ingredients used in the formula are FDA monographed and registered.
Who created Creme de la Femme?
Marilynn Pratt, MD, spent over five years developing and testing Creme de la Femme. She started the project because so many of her own patients complained about menopausal vaginal dryness and the need for a safe, elegant remedy. Since 1986, when Dr. Pratt introduced the product to the general public, countless women nationwide have come to depend on it.
Can Creme de la Femme cause vaginal infection?
No. In fact, Creme de la Femme actually helps protect against yeast infection. Here's why: most vaginal lubricants are water-based products and water is a breeding ground for yeast. Because Creme de la Femme is an oil-based lubricant, it moisturizes without contributing to yeast growth. In addition, because it's oil-based, it doesn't run or dry up fast. Protection lasts for hours, lowering your risk of abrasion, bladder infection & vaginal irritation. Finally, because Creme de la Femme contains no glycerin (the by-product of fermented carbohydrate), it is safe even for women with diabetes.
Will Creme de la Femme interfere with prescription drugs?
Because it is not a drug, Creme de la Femme does not interfere with the efficacy of any prescription drug. It can be used by women undergoing chemotherapy. It is safe to use while taking birth control pills. Many women on hormone replacement still combat a degree of vaginal dryness, and they too can use Creme de la Femme for some extra, soothing relief.
Can Creme de la Femme be used with condoms?
Creme de la Femme can be safely used with polyurethane condoms. It is not recommended for use with latex condoms because the oils in the lubricant can deteriorate the latex.

Other CR-V Reviews
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Reliable and roomy compact SUV by kz59 on 01/17/2011. Trim: 2006 Honda CR-V EX 2WD AT, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Very roomy interior, good gas mileage, good handling, well planned interior storage.
Cons: Somewhat noisy ride, cheap carpeting, cheap upholstery.
Overall review: I drove a 2000 CR-V for 10 years and loved it, so I upgraded to a 2006 (bought gently used, since I didn't like the 2007+ look). Some noticeable improvements over the older model, such as: -- trunk door opens in one piece (rather than opening glass first, then door) - huge bonus; -- noticeably more power, so handles uphill with ease; -- less engine noise; -- airbags just about everywhere; -- split back seat; -- improved rear-center seatbelt; -- trunk is roomier; -- cupholder in front dashboard is better designed; -- brake lever on front dashboard, so more floor space. Now the quibbles: -- miss the storage drawer under passenger seat; -- the clock is now part of the stereo, so harder to see; -- carpeting and upholstery in the old model were of better quality; -- cupholders in the back are in a pullout center console (with 3 people in back, where are they supposed to put their drinks?) Complaints are very minor. Overall, a great little SUV.

One in four children in Oklahoma struggles with hunger.
At Oklahoma's Own News 9 we are on a mission to end childhood hunger in Oklahoma. Join us.
This is just the beginning...
News 9 and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma have teamed up to host the fourth annual Oklahoma's Own Ride Against Childhood Hunger. More>>
Over one-third of the Regional Food Bank's emergency food recipients on a weekly basis are children. There is a critical connection between childhood nutrition, cognitive and physical development. Even nutritional deficiencies of a short-term nature negatively impact a child's health, behavior, and the ability to concentrate and perform complex tasks. Going without food can cause behavioral and psychological effects such as depression, aggression, anxiety, and poor social skills. Food is the most essential school supply.
When Hunger Ends, Learning Begins. Food for Kids currently has four programs to help combat this problem: The Backpack Program, Kid's Cafe, the Summer Feeding Program and School Pantries, a pilot program launched at Putnam City West that will be expanding to middle and high schools very soon.
It only costs $200 to feed a child for an entire year.
A $200 donation can provide enough weekend and holiday food for one child for an entire school year. A gift of $5,000 will provide enough food for 25 hungry children at one school for an entire school year. Please donate now to the Regional Food Bank. To find out more information on Food for Kids,click here.Donate Today!
Many children get sick, miss school, learn slower and have social problems... because they don't get enough to eat. It's easy to say, 'let somebody else help.'
Be somebody.-Amanda Taylor
Thanks to you, the viewers of News 9 and News On 6 (our sister station in Tulsa), many Oklahoma children are getting the food they need. But many more need your help. Donate now to help our children.
Thank you for your support! Please do not be concerned if your gift is not reflected immediately in the counter. Donation totals are updated once a day.
Help us meet our goal!Donate Today
One in four children in Oklahoma struggles with hunger.

Good start to the series
I see a big improvement since the other series but I preferred the black and white style..... Still, good job. Also nice storm effects and it has much better animation like you said.

Good evilish flash
This is some very good looking stuff, the graphical style was great! Very unique.
I loved the shadowy nature of everything, it added to the realish atmosphere to the film which is very rare nowadays.
This is helped somewhat by the sounds which added a lot, the sounds were superb! Another thing that frequently doesn't happen.
A decent amount of violence, and the beginnings of a good plotline for future episodes.
Excellent stuff.
