For some Americans, New Year's Day is incomplete without a meal of pork and sauerkraut.

Eating sauerkraut brings good luck for the coming year, according to Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.
Although Vacationland is a long way from the Keystone State, at least one Maine family will partake in the tradition. Simon and Jane Frost are sauerkraut makers.
The production of sauerkraut and other fermented foods is a growing trend among farmers in Maine, according to agriculture experts. It's a way to preserve the vegetables long after the harvest, increase their nutritional value and stretch farmers' revenue sources into the leaner months of winter.
For seven winters, Simon Frost has been making sauerkraut, kimchi, gingered carrots, dill pickles and other products at Thirty-Acre Farm in Whitefield. He uses about 2 acres to grow vegetables for fermenting.
"For us, it's a real good way to preserve the harvest and sell it through the year. It kind of gives us a steadier income stream," he said.
The Frosts' cabbages are harvested in mid- to late fall after the first hard frost, and many are put into cold storage. Then, during late fall and winter, the family makes kraut.
"Shred it, salt it, press it and wait," Simon Frost said, describing his technique.
Although the ingredients are simple, the process that turns cabbage into kraut is complex, said David Swetnam, owner of Morse's Sauerkraut in Waldoboro.
"Sauerkraut is not rocket science, but there is a fair amount of microbiology that goes into a successful batch of it," he said.
Swetnam and his wife bought the company 13 years ago. Originally, the Swetnams made sauerkraut during the fall and winter, then closed the operation from April to September. As the popularity of Morse's Sauerkraut grew, they added a year-round restaurant and a gift shop that sells specialty foods imported from Germany. Since then, the business has become an out-of-the-way destination for tourists.
On the day Swetnam bought the company, he expected to receive a secret recipe from the previous owner. Instead, he was handed an empty coffee can and was told to add a few cans full of salt and sugar to the shredded cabbage.
"As it turns out, there's quite a bit more to assembling a barrel of sauerkraut," he said.
Swetnam experimented for years to get it right -- to learn all the variables of temperature and moisture content within the cabbage, depending on the season, and how to layer the ingredients in each batch.
Now that he has perfected his method, Swetnam has turned his focus to the continuing challenge of getting the product to market. Unlike pasteurized sauerkraut from major manufacturers, Swetnam's sauerkraut is a living thing full of healthy bacteria and generates carbon dioxide gas. He sells his kraut to retailers in 5-gallon food-service buckets for individual packaging in deli containers by store employees.
Sometimes Swetnam provides stores with a list of instructions on how to care for the living product, which has a life span of one or two months, during which it continues to ferment and exude gas.
"If we put our sauerkraut in a bag and sealed it up -- as other manufacturers do -- it would inflate and explode overnight," he said. "You can stop all that by pasteurizing it and putting all kinds of preservatives in it, but then you lose all the texture and the flavor and, of course, the health benefits, which are huge. It turns it from something you should eat every day into something you probably shouldn't eat at all."
Added nutrition
For Frost, the biology of fermented vegetables is a big part of the reason for making them.

|AVID Program Description
The AVID Program
AVID is a sixth through twelfth-grade program that prepares students in the academic middle for four-year college eligibility. AVID has a proven track record in bringing out the best in students and in closing the achievement gap. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
The AVID program supports average students in middle and high school who want to go to college. Students are placed in (pre-AP/AP) classes with an AVID elective class to support them during the school day. Additional support from the AVID site team and tutoring by college students is provided. The San Antonio ISD has two AVID National Demonstration Schools (Thomas Jefferson High School and Longfellow Middle School). Each school is routinely visited by parents, teachers, and administrators from all over the country.
The AVID Program targets students in the academic middle — B, C and even D students — who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These are students who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum but fall short of their potential. Typically, they will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are from low-income or minority families. AVID pulls these students out of their unchallenging courses and puts them on the college track: acceleration instead of remediation.
The AVID Elective Student –not only are students enrolled in their school's toughest classes, such as honors and Advanced Placement, but also in the AVID elective. For one period a day, they learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and asking probing questions, get academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college more attainable. Their self-images improve, and they become academically successful leaders and role models for other students.
The AVID Curriculum
The AVID curriculum is based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle and high school teachers in collaboration with college professors. It is driven by the WIC-R method, which stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. AVID curriculum is used in AVID elective classes, in content-area classes in AVID schools, and even in schools where the AVID elective is not offered.
AVID Results-- A well-developed AVID program improves school wide standardized test scores, advanced rigorous course enrollments, and the number of students attending college. Since 1990, more than 30,000 AVID students have graduated from high school and gone on to college. Ninety-five percent of AVID students report enrolling in college, 78 percent in four-year institutions and 17 percent in community colleges. The national average for four-year college enrollment is 35 percent.
Why AVID Works
AVID identifies eligible students. The selection criteria include:
The AVID Program is tailored to the needs of this diverse group of students, and it works for them because:
AVID in SAISD
SAISD pioneered the AVID Program in the state of Texas. The district started the AVID Program 15 years ago in our 8 High Schools: Brackenridge, Burbank, Edison, Fox Tech, Highland, Houston, Jefferson and Lanier. In the 2001-2002 school year we pioneered AVID in three middle schools, Mark Twain, Wheatley and Whittier. With the success of the three middle schools we phased AVID into two more middle schools, Connell and Poe.
In the summer of 2006 we expanded AVID to the eleven remaining SAISD middle schools to include: Horace Mann, Rogers, Davis, Harris, Cooper, Irving, Longfellow, Lowell, Page, Rhodes, and Tafolla. In 2009, AVID was added to Young Women's Leadership Academy and Travis Early College High School.
Edison and Fox Tech high schools have been extremely successful in their implementation of the AVID program and promoting higher education. Both continue as models for others to emulate nationwide. The schools first earned the designation of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) national demonstrations sites in (2001). That prestigious status was validated during inspections by AVID representatives to assess how well both continue to represent the program and its ideals.
Because of AVID's huge success with Best Practices and College Readiness, AVID strategies are used in several elementary schools in SAISD.

Solitude Chardonnay 2009-750ml
Winery Notes: This is my twenty-second vintage of making SOLITUDE Chardonnay. Over this period the wine has developed a reputation for consistency and value. As always our grapes came from four ranches within the Sangiacomo Family Vineyards just south of the Town of Sonoma. This wine exhibits the classic character of the Carneros. Tropical fruit, ripe pear and coconut aromas are complimented by a seamless integrated mouth feel and a long-lasting smooth finish. Enjoy!--Richard Litsch Winemaker and Founder

"I needed something to showcase my new girls clothing line. This was perfect! I especially appreciated the opportunity to make one small change after receiving a proof of my design."
"I made some custom cards for my band & was able to put our logo + website, info etc. on one side and our picture on the other. The designer was able to fix the tiny color variation issue with our logo & the cards made it out to us in Hawaii before the estimated shipping arrival date! :)"
"I was always asked if I had any Business Cards on me, and unfortunately, I didn't until now. I went to Tinyprints.com and I had a selection of Business Cards to choose. I chose this card. It was simple, yet business type of a card. The cards had arrived early, after they were done, and they were packaged very well."
"I've just reordered these for the 4th or 5th time. They are so great-looking: chic, sharp, elegant and with just the right degree of moxie. I always receive compliments on them, and the paper quality is great. I also really liked being able to personalize the back (I added the fleur-de-lis). I will keep ordering these!"

Cousins Dean Del Prete and Paul Sattler started playing paintball for fun in 1986. Noticing a lack of places to play or find equipment, the pair took advantage of this business opportunity and founded Cousins Paintball the following year, creating a one-stop shop for players. They started out with the only paintball field on Long Island, and since then, they have grown to encompass 10 New York locations with scenario and speedball fields. Today, teams equipped with full mask and semiautomatic paint markers wander across their 20- to 80-acre spaces, searching for the opposing team's flag. Eco-friendly paint ensures trees do not suffer lasting damage, and themes such as hide-and-seek and cops and robbers add variety to a full day of games.
Twenty-eight armed soldiers swarm between two stories, ducking and weaving to avoid the sharp eyes of their opponents. Or so the story often unfolds during laser-tag sessions in FunTime America's state-of-the-art laser-tag arena. Though it may be the most adrenaline-pumping portion of the family-friendly play place, it's but an introduction to the variety of attractions that unfolds before visitors. It's hard to ignore the four-story Kiddy City structure, where kids scoot down slides, climb ropes, and play without fear due to its ubiquitous safety padding. As little ones give chase around the structure, bigger kids helm bumper cars, take a journey in the El Paso train ride, or race to scale the 20-foot climbing wall, whose foothold arrangements offer four difficulty levels from easy to easy for people with wings. Once playtime comes to a simmer, the video-game arcade really shines with its air-hockey tables and sit-down games that take imaginations on the road to their pixilated lands. The adjacent casino-theme Winners Cafe, whose walls brim with massive playing cards and decorative roulette wheels, feeds spent small-time heroes with pizza, pretzels, and other fare to boost energy before another go around the center beckons.
Rebounderz boasts more than 14,000 square feet of bouncing throughout three trampoline surfaces. Both kids and adults leap, jump, and flip through the space, just bouncing around or playing high-velocity games of trampoline dodgeball. At the foam pit, guests test their aerobatic skills and before landing softly into cloud-like masses of foam. The facility also has a four-lane basketball slam dunk runner. These feats create a serious cardio workout, and guests in need of a break can breathe heavily toward the arcade where they can sling a few balls at skee-ball or relax in the cafe with a smoothie or slice of pizza. For special occasions such as birthdays, parents can book one of four party rooms, including the basketball room replete with a basketball court, jump time, pizza, and a party assistant.
The masterminds behind Keansburg Amusement Park, located just off the beach, oversee a park designed to turn a day out with the family during warm weather months into a mini vacation. By dotting the park with roller coasters, go-karts, arcades, and classic boardwalk fare, the owners seem to have realized their vision while also addressing the interests of different-aged groups. Families can glide around the park's classic carousel, and kids ride the colorful Jolly Caterpillar before he presumably morphs into a butterfly at closing time. Some of the park's newer attractions include a fleet of bumper cars and the Rocking Tug ride. With its more than 35 rides, the park has garnered accolades such as Best of New Jersey from the readers of NJ Monthly Magazine, as well as a 2011 Best of Monmouth County from the readers of Asbury Park Press.
Claw machines, pinball, and row after row of redemption games blanket the confines of The Game Room. Once inside, visitors find themselves surrounded with the electronic lights and sounds of various games of chance, which spew countless tickets. At the prize counter, those tickets turn into rewards such as stuffed animals. The Game Room also hosts special events, including double-ticket days and ski-ball tournaments.
Pump It Up's indoor inflatable arenas launch socked striplings into the air with a plethora of kid-friendly bounce pads. Staffers supervise fun-filled visits, during which adult counterparts leap around with their kids through gargantuan bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like snakes covered in bacon grease through an inflated obstacle course. Occasionally, the staffers switch off the lights, arming the roomful of players with glow sticks and bracelets as they navigate the air-cushioned obstaclescape.
The colorful venue also hosts custom birthday parties and private team parties, each themed to please the partygoers in question. These soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero while melting off youthful energy faster than ice cubes thrown into a running DVD player. The birthday boy or girl even gets to blow out the candles on their cake seated in their blow-up throne. Relying on the staffers' vigilant, watchful eyes, guardians can rest assured that their charges will stay safe, and each piece of the inflatable playground is held to the wall by a complex series of anchors installed according to strict safety standards.

Actor Joe Mantegna with Ray Bradbury in the fall of 2011.
There was a lot more to the late Ray Bradbury than his famous book, 'Fahrenheit 451.' The beloved science fiction author cowrote the screenplay for the film 'Moby Dick.' He designed exhibits for the United States and California for the World's Fair. He wrote seven episodes of 'The Twilight Zone' and a dozen episodes of the program, 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents.' He wrote 30 short stories for Playboy magazine. He was funny and witty and while plenty of people have read his books, few know about Ray Bradbury the man.

On Thursday, Mayor Bob Cashell made good on his promise to Washoe County commissioners to move forward with creating a Joint Powers Authority, proving he is ready to move forward with negotiations.
Also, the Reno city manager was directed to begin the termination process of 80 firefighters as a result.
"We can be ready by July 1, if you're willing to negotiate," Cashell told Washoe County commissioners at an historic joint meeting to discuss the divorce of regional fire districts within the county.
Reno City Council members Wednesday approved sending a formal written notice of termination to Truckee Meadows and Sierra Fire protection districts on June 30, changing the way the region delivers fire service to residents the bulk of the Truckee Meadows area — covering every resident from east Sparks to Verdi, and from Sun Valley to Washoe Valley.
"When you come up with a Joint Powers Authority — that opens up all contracts for negotiations," Cashell challenged the commissioners Monday.
A Joint Powers Authority, or JPA, is a contract between government entities to form a body that will provide a service and can levy taxes or fees to pay for that service. Cashell has made it no secret he opposes the county's decision to pull the fire agencies apart from the city.
"This just doesn't make sense to me," Cashell told the commissioners after finding out the county was a mere $1.2 million apart from what it needed to maintain services for a year in order to work out plans for the future instead of "busting things up."
During the same meeting, the Reno City Council directed City Manager Andrew Clinger to begin the process of terminating 80 firefighters.
"When deconsolidation occurs, the Reno Fire Department will become a much smaller department, and may have to lay off firefighters," according to to the staff report.
As part of the merger with Truckee Meadows Fire, Reno hired 98 fire personnel. Reno will be left with additional 80 firefighters.
"The TMFPD has not told Reno if or when they will hire the personnel who will be laid off from the Reno Fire Department. If an agreement with Washoe County can be reached, the layoff notices can be recinded," the report stated.
For more than 11 years, residents were served by Reno firefighters in stations throughout the northern Nevada region under the umbrella of all districts, as taxes collected varied according to which district fell into each revenue base.
However, because the Washoe County commission wanted more control over how it spends its collection of taxes, the majority of commissioners — with Commissioner Kitty Jung dissenting — decided to deconsolidate the fire districts in 2011 and divorce Truckee Meadows and Sierra Fire from Reno.
Under a contract with Reno, the county paid $11.4 million for Truckee Meadows and Sierra Fire services. The county initially said it hoped to save money on the situation. However, when the county stands up its own fire district, melding Truckee and Sierra Fire together, hiring its own fire fighters and paying for start-up costs, the county's price tag will jump to $16.4 million. The county also plans to raise taxes in the areas covered by Truckee and Sierra Fire to pay for the increase, the county expressed at Monday's meeting.
In its deconsolidation plan, which must be negotiated now with the city of Reno and other fire districts, the county plans to draw down its fire crews and possibly close some stations. The county has stated definitively it will reduce staffing at its stations from four- to three-man crews.
Three-man crews cannot, by federal standards, enter a burning building without a "confirmed victim" inside. Another engine must arrive before a firefighter enter the home, time during which the fire can spread.
Mike Piltcher, a Reno firefighter who has worked for 12 years under the consolidation plan, told commissioners, "Any deviation from the plan is not a good plan. It is not a responsible plan.
"I don't know how to stand outside a structure and watch it burn until another engine arrives. I've never been trained on how to do that," Piltcher said.
The county is also planning to displace 80 Reno firefighters who will be put on informal notice of layoffs, and staff the Hidden Valley and Caughlin Ranch stations with two-man crews to save money. Smaller staffs at each station will save the county 25 percent, according to the county deconsolidation plan drawn up by Kirk Latipow.

I have never smoked cigarettes, but some of my dearest friends do. I was hoping that e-cigarette kits might be the answer. I know better than to make suggestions about quitting, but I want to be able to do something, like buy them an electronic cigarette starter kit, if any of them express an interest in quitting. I have found a way to buy an electronic cigarette starter kit to help a friend of mine who really wants to quit. She has smoked for years. Her cough is terrible, and the doctor told her she might have emphysema. I want to help her stop smoking by buying an electronic cigarette starter kit before it is too late. I did some research on e-cigarettes and E-Liquid, the stuff that makes the e-cigarettes a good way to stop smoking. I am going to order some e-cigarettes for her.
One of the best sellers is the menthol flavour e liquid. The menthol electronic cigarette refills give users a feeling that they are smoking a real menthol cigarette and is a popular choice for many. Lots of people like to experiment with the different flavours, and for the childish at heart there are even bubblegum varieties which are another great hit. Not sure how many health benefits there are, if any at all, but you can also buy e liquid which has been enriched with vitamins and minerals which you inhale as normal.
Both these fillings can be refilled properly and that too in a hassle-free manner. In this way you can save your money. This is why this refilling of e-cigarettes is being preferred by most of the people.
One great site that many people rely on for the best prices on e-juice and the ecigarette is e-cigarette510.com. They have a wide variety of products available and are very well known for having high quality merchandise. They offer many different styles of the ecigarette and all of the accessories to go along with it.
It was exactly what i thought it would be! The flavourings for the E Liquid UK deliver a true taste, unlike a lot of things which claim to be a good flavour but end up tasting terrible…not the case for the ENI.
When you are ready to make the switch to the smokeless cigarette, you are probably more than ready to stop spending so much money on tobacco products as well. The ecigarette is a great way for you to do that, but only if you go into it armed with knowledge of where to buy the cheapest and highest quality merchandise.
I use an e cig with no nicotine and the top rated e cig with no nicotine this brand was voted as the best non nicotine electronic cig often the this year by consumer reports. You can check out the brand and compare it to a few other great brands by following the links in this article.
You can purchase the e-cig kits online or you can purchase them directly from the stores. Buying them directly from the stores allows you to check the product thoroughly and you may ask for a sample to try too. However, you have to ensure that it comes with a complete kit, polished and clean, and a life-time warranty. Sometimes, e-cigs also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee to the user.
So in conclusion, smokeless cigarettes can indeed help you quit smoking. That's all thanks to the e-liquid used in them. Nevertheless, there are things that you have to do right to really make them a real help.

she has aged quite nicely
she has aged quite nicely
It's nice to see that she has aged gracefully and isn't going under the knife like Pris or Linda have done. I think Ginger looks just as beautiful as she did when she was with Elvis.
She Still look very good- l think that 'aged gracefully' is way better than those botox or facelift.
she looks great , much better than cilla with all that plastic, i do hope that one day she may write her memoirs with E.P. even though she knew him for a short time.
Keep in mind that Ginger is about 15 years younger than Priscilla.
How recent is that picture of Ginger?
The pic has been around since the late 80s, IIRC.
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
i had this photo in high quality..and its quite new.there is one more photo in my video.
I didn't think that was a recent pic either but seeing the one that followed it in the above video, taken at the same time, makes me wonder.
This one is not recent but I thought I'd post it. Note she's wearing the ring with the diamond taken from Elvis' TCB ring. I hope not everyone has seen it before.
...you won't forget me when I go.
She is still looking great.
Some of you all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about

ALPENA - Alpena Regional Medical Center is preparing healthy food service choices and nutritional selections to support, promote, and provide community health. CEO Karmon Bjella said ARMC is working toward healthy eating, weight management, and modeling healthy food environments through the Healthy Foods Hospitals campaign sponsored by the Michigan Hospital Association.
"We've dived right into this," he said. "Our dietary department achieved levels one through three, and working on level four."
According to Bjella, ARMC is compliant with stars one through three from the Healthy Food Hospitals campaign, including non-select pediatric patient menus for children 2-18 to meet the American Heart Association guideline, transition to healthy beverages, and labeling nutritional content in cafeteria offerings.
The fourth, which ARMC is not in compliance with, is achieving healthy eating starting with a healthy food system. Bjella said ARMC is working toward achieving the fourth star.
"We have accomplished it, but we have not submitted it yet," Diane Shields, vice president of human resources and support services, said.

Kings XI collapse hands Indians the edge
Munaf Patel picked up 5 wickets to help the Mumbai Indians restrict the Kings XI Punjab to a total of just 163-8 after the home side suffered a batting collapse.
Adam Gilchrist (28) and Shaun Marsh (43) helped the home side get off to a good start but having reached 128-2 in the 16th over the Kings XI lost 6 wickets in the space of 5 overs adding just 39 runs to their total.
Munaf Patel (21-5) lead the way picking up five wickets to help the Indians fight their way back into the game after the home side had enjoyed the majority of the opening innings.
Despite losing Paul Valthaty (14) early in the innings the Kings XI got off to a great start thanks to a second wicket stand of 70 between Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh.
The Kings XI skipper banished his recent poor form by scoring 28 runs before he was dismissed by Lasith Malinga in the 11th over when he edged a bouncer from the Sri Lankan through to wicket keeper Ambati Rayudu.
Having made the break through the Indians could have removed Dinesh Karthik soon after but the Indian was handed a lifeline on 11 by Aiden Blizzard who put down an easy catch out on the boundary.
Having been reprieved Karthik along with Marsh increased the Kings XI hold on the game with a 3rd wicket partnership of 36 which gave the home side the perfect base to push on towards 170 or 180.
With the game in the balance Patel struck back for the Indians in the 16th over removing Marsh (43) and David Hussey (0) within the space of 4 deliveries to leave the Kings XI 129-4.
New batsman Mandeep Singh could only add 8 runs before he was run out by Malinga in the 18th over as the Kings XIs innings started to unravel in dramatic fashion.
Karthik (31) and Ryan Harris (6) quickly followed as Patel completed an impressive spell with two more wickets before Malinga picked up his 26th wicket of the tournament when he bowled Praveen Kumar in the final over.

text: Hi, I just bought a house with two wall hung toilets. These are back to back and use the same drain pipe. The both are very old, ugly, and leak. I'd like to replace them with floor mounted toilets. I've looked into replacements for my wall hung toilets and they seem to run around $500 each. I've never worked with wall hung toilets before. I am used to replacing floor ones. There is plenty of room in the crawl space to replace the pipes. So I'm just wondering how difficult it would be to get a plumber to install piping for the floor toilets? I'm thinking the cost might be the same. Any advise would be appreciated.

New First in Class Diabetes Drug Shows Efficacy, Lower Risk for HypoglycemiaPosted: Saturday, March 10, 2012
A novel investigational drug called TAK-875 (Takeda), the first in its class to be tested in diabetes, provides glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes with less risk for hypoglycemia compared with standard treatment.
In the phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 426 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to receive 1 of 5 doses of TAK-875 (n = 303), glimepiride (n = 62), or placebo (n = 61). At 12 weeks, compared with placebo (18%), almost twice as many patients (range, 33% - 48%) receiving TAK-875 doses of 25 mg or higher achieved the American Diabetes Association target of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels less than 7%. The percentage of patients who achieved target HbA1c levels while receiving glimepiride (40%) was similar to the rate seen among patients taking TAK-875 doses of 25 mg or more.
The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly lower in patients receiving TAK-875 (2%) than in those taking glimepiride (19%), and although there was no significant weight gain among patients receiving TAK-875 at 12 weeks when compared with baseline, glimepiride produced significant weight gain (0.86 kg; P = .004).
Experts have their doubts that TAK-875 could be a real alternative to currently used type 2 diabetes treatments.
Alan Garber, MD, PhD, professor of medicine, biochemistry, and cell biology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, stated that, "The drug in this study is the first in its class to be tested in diabetes. It has a mechanism of action somewhat similar to the incretins." "This is an interesting proof-of-concept study, but the drug used in this research is a new class of agents, so we need to have a little more data to be able to assess its efficacy and possible adverse events."
One of the limitations of the study was the use of glimepiride as the comparator treatment as this medication has fallen out of favor with physicians who treat type 2 diabetes. The reason is its known adverse effects, including hypoglycemia and weight gain.

If "green" truly is "the new red, white, and blue," as Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist and recent Res Publica and Athenaeum speaker Thomas Friedman said, then America has another new diet with teeth. In this environmental fitness program, waist-conscientiousness has become waste-conscientiousness; carbohydrate counting has turned to carbon counting. And instead of dropping pounds, this one's about shedding carbon emissions that heat the atmosphere.
The Claremont McKenna College community places a high value on environmental stewardship as well as working on campus and within the community to build and support sustainability and carbon neutral practices. In 2007, CMC President Pamela Gann signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, with the College also developing a campus-specific plans over the next two years.
Already, CMC tracks environmental impacts as reported by The Roberts Environmental Center, and takes steps to reduce its environmental footprints. Sustainability Guidelines have been adopted to encourage leadership opportunities in such areas as power use, building construction, waste management practices, and purchasing.
Green@CMC features these sustainability efforts and initiatives, stories of environmental impact, and information on getting involved.

With a looming fire season that forecasters predict could be one of the worst northern Nevada has seen in decades, dry grass and wind gusts reaching 40-miles-per-hour could put Sun Valley in the center its own firestorm.
Small windows, flimsy walls and lightweight construction are just some of the reasons mobile homes are far more dangerous than stick-built homes in a fire. And Sun Valley is filled with streets lined by old and new model mobile homes.
Sunday's fire, involving T.J. Canfield's family complex on Chocolate Drive, resulted in the total destruction of several housing structures, including that of his neighbor's.
Canfield's mother, who went back inside her trailer to unsuccessfully retrieve her cats, was severely burned in the process. The fire swept through and engulfed the trailer in 30 seconds — so quickly, her son was forced to throw a chair through the back sliding glass doors to get his mother out of the home.
What excavators left behind, after attempting to snuff out the last of the embers, was a 15-foot high pile of bent, melted metal, snaking through the property at least 25-feet in length.
"You see where that tire is?" Canfield said as he pointed to a small tire atop the pile. "That's the front tire to my trailer. Now, you tell me … how did my front tire end up in the middle of what used to be my mother's kitchen sink?"
As Canfield looked over the still smoldering chunks of debris Monday, burned out cars and melted aluminum, neighbor after neighbor stopped by to check in.
"These people are actually really good people out here," Canfield said.
One woman from a charity stopped by to ask if he needed food from food pantry. He accepted.
Canfield picked through the rubble Monday, looking for many items that might have survived the burn, only to come up empty handed. The most precious items were two boxes, one filled with gold, he said. After working in a gold mine in Virginia City for many years, and being paid with raw gold instead of cash bonuses, Canfield said that fire-proof box he had stored the gold in was missing.
"There's a bunch of missing stuff," he said. "One of those safes has quite a bit of gold. It was full of gold."
A misunderstanding with fire and sheriff's office representatives cleared up a matter that determined neither agency had taken possession of the safes. Canfield was told he should file a police report for the gold.
After a full day of searching, he could not find a hint of any safe in the entire pile of debris, he said. "I've pretty much tossed it all."
Destroyed were two minivans, two trucks, his mother's Saturn, a Thunderbird vehicle, two motor homes, one mobile trailer and countless household items.
The Reno Fire Department responded to the blaze Sunday, as the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District has not been fully put into place. However, after July 1, response to the area, when Truckee Meadows responds with three-man crews and it may possibly need assistance from other agencies, could become more complicated, said Michele Anderson, spokesman for the Reno Fire Department.
"Mobile Homes go up quick," Anderson said. "After July 1, it will be a big deal the way Washoe County's fire department will be about to handle the call. They're obviously going to have to call for help."
The cause of Sunday's fire has yet to be determined, Anderson said.
"I lost everything, everything," Canfield said.
Canfield had lived at the site for 23 years, and was known by many neighbors in the area. He is on 100 percent disability, he said.
A representative from Farmer's Insurance was on scene to assess the damages and provide immediate assistance to the family in any form necessary, she told Canfield.
"So many people have offered everything. It makes everything you've lost a little bit easier," Canfield said. "It gives you a little bit of hope for mankind."

The previous "SHIP TO" and "RETURN TO" fields are now the following distinct address fields: Attention, Address 1, Address 2, City, State/Province, Country, Postal Code. The new "Address 1" field contains data previously included in the "SHIP TO" field on the ILL workform. Detailed instructions for updating address information in constant data records are provided in OCLC WorldShare Interlibrary Loan: Constant Data.
Browser requirements
Use of one of the following browsers and versions is required for use of the new WorldShare Interlibrary Loan service.
PLEASE NOTE: Functionality in the WorldShare Interlibrary Loan service is updated on a quarterly basis in February, May, August and November.

Wow..... so sorry i came back... User is obviously a relative or friend of tt's. So sad... Out of here for good.
Amber, You are being totally obnoxious. You left here a while ago in a huff saying a lot
of mean things and vowing not to come back. You wanted to be among "real friends."
You were horrible to TT and said some nasty things. Now you're back and seem
to want to create problems. Seems to me, you're one of the 'mean' girls.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

problem and today you wanted to pick up where you left off. You can't control
if people want to respond to you. You need to grow up and learn that everything
is not all your way. I don't feel I attacked you. You were accusing people of not
responding and I felt that someone needed to say something.

Kar, do you find your jalapenos are noticeably stronger or weaker than those you buy at the store? Some people say it's the soil they are grown in that influences the heat level.

Hats, interesting you should ask about the heat, we were JUST commenting on that. I picked 18 peppers from 2 plants, same variety, obviously same conditions, relatively the same size, and prepared them all the same way. I par-cooked them in the microwave 3 minutes, used a special jalepeno doohickey to decore-deseed them, and then stuffed them with 1/2 lite cream cheese, 1/2 mild sausage and baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Now, to your question, only 1 of the 8 I ate was fiery at ALL - the other 7 were essentially like green bell peppers. DH had the other 10 and said "a few" were very hot, and the rest were super mild. I did not perceive I did anything different regarding the veins (hottest portion), but I guess I must have. Given this, it would be difficult to compare them to grocery store peppers unless you prepared 18 - 20 of them and checked the ratio of hot to mild peppers. I have prepared one other batch like this from the garden and had the same result.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guess you would have to eat them whole to be able to tell, then, which I am not volunteering to do.
I've been Pinteresting a lot this evening.
Wish we could post photos here...I'd post that cartoon from the New Yorker about how on the Internet, no one can tell you're a dog. People should not jump to conclusions so quickly - it might be a dog or a bird or a troll on the other end.
posted at 9/14/2013 9:23 PM EDT
Yep, we'll never know how hot our garden jalapeño peppers are raw and whole, sorry, LOL! But, as prepared, our garden ones seemed to vary widely with respect to heat, so I'm guessing the same would be true across the board, and not just due to whether they were purchased at the grocery store. Not very scientific, but there you have what I can tell you. :)

Anyone ever size your engagement ring? I'd like to take it to a local jeweler, but am nervous about the diamonds...am I nuts or should I make the drive to Barmakian where he bought it? I could bundle it with two East lunches, one for drop off, one for pickup...hm, I think I just answered my own question. Seriously, though, do jewelers REALLY switch diamonds in rings in for maintenance, or is that an urban myth?
tt, how was the party? 128 traffic? I'd like a cookie, darn it, I forgot to ask you to hold one out.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kar I literally just picked up my ring from being resized at Barmakian today. They did a great job! I think it's always best to go back there and be certain that the ring is in good hands. I'm sure most jeweler a are reputable but it just doesn't seem worth the risk. Barmakian threw in some free ring cleaning solution for me today, which was so nice.
I was checking the forum tonight because I have a window seat/bench in the playroom that needs a cushion and I am thinking of making my own bc all of the custom ones are so expensive. I know you ladies are good at this type of project. I found a good set of instructions on how to do it but wondering about where to buy fabric and what type. Need something durable that won't show stains too much. Joann fabric? Any other recommendations metro lamb êtrelamb être
posted at 9/14/2013 9:59 PM EDT
I'm not a real expert, but stain resistance is important. Some upholstery fabrics come already treated. If not you can buy a spray can of Scotchguard and treat it yourself. Where to buy depends a lot on what you need and especially how much you need.
Also, your level of sewing skill makes a big difference, too. If I were you, I'd google and look on Pinterest and see projects that people have done that are similar - then read what they have to say.

LoH Proc Rates for 1.05:
Originally Posted by 71658217602I made this thread due to a lot of confusion out there about the proc rate of WD skills, and only one thread made by karisu explains it. But it has been out of date. So, i took his experiment method, and goes knocking zombies with 100 LOH weapon.
Why use LOH? because LOH is the easiest way to find out about the proc rate. For example, if a skill has 200% LOH, then by using 100 LOH weapon, i'll get 200 health in return. This was tested as such, but doesn't mean it only works for LOH. Mostly it applies to any kind of "on hit" proc.
With that being said, here's the result to my experiment :
Poison dart = 200%
Splinters = 33% per dart (100%/cast)
Numbing dart = 200%
Spined Dart = 200%
Flaming dart = 100%
Snake to the face = 200%
Corpse Spiders = 8% by jar + 8%/each spider/hit
Leaping Spiders = 8% by jar + 8%/each spider/hit
Spider Queen = 30%/enemy/tick
Widowmakers = 8% by jar + 8%/each spider/hit
Medusa Spiders = 8% by jar + 8%/each spider/hit
Blazing Spiders = 8% by jar + 8%/each spider/hit
Plague of Toads = 66%/toad (200%/cast)
Explosive Toads = 66%/toad (200%/cast)
Toad of Hugeness = 100%/cast
Rain of Toads = 50%/enemy/tick STACKS
Addling Toads = 66%/toad (200%/cast)
Toad Affinity = 66%/toad (200%/cast)
Firebomb = 66%/enemy
Flash Fire = 20%/bounce (140%/cast)
Roll the Bones = 22%/enemy
Fire Pit = 6.5%/enemy/tick STACKS
Pyrogeist = 16%/projectile (You'll get about 33% every half a second)
Ghost Bomb = 12.5%/enemy
Grasp of the Dead = 16.5%/enemy/tick
Unbreakable Grasp = 16.5%/enemy/tick
Groping Eels = 16.5%/enemy/tick
Death Is Life = 16.5%/enemy/tick
Desperate Grasp = 16.5%/enemy/tick STACKS
Rain of Corpses = 12.5%/enemy/tick + 12.5% per corpse
Firebats = 16.5%/enemy/tick
Dire Bats = 66%/enemy
Vampire Bats = about 16.5%/enemy/tick (Hard to tell because the lifesteal messed up my testing)
Plague Bats = 16.5%/enemy/tick (only the tick of the initial hit, not the dot)
Hungry Bats = 33%/bat
Cloud of Bats = 25%/enemy/tick
Haunt = 100% per target hit and none on the DOT. If it acquires another target after the first one dies, it will count as another hit, applies to all rune.
Consuming spirit = 100% per target hit
Resentful Spirit = 100% per target hit
Lingering Spirit = 100% per target hit
Grasping Spirit = 100% per target hit
Draining Spirit = 100% per target hit
Locust Swarm = 33% per target, same as haunt. Each time it spreads it will hit, but no bonus from the DOT.
Pestilence = 33% per target
Devouring Swarm = 33% per target
Cloud of Insects = 33% per target
Diseased Swarm = 33% per target. Not sure about the damage from the death corpses though
Searing Locusts = 33% per target
Zombie Dogs = 0%, except for these 2 runes
Rabid Dogs = 10%/attack and none from the dot
Final Gift = 0%
Life Link = 0%
Burning Dogs = 5%/enemy/dogs from the aura only, none from their attack
Leeching Beasts = 0%
Horrify = 0% all rune
Spirit walk = 0%, except for these 2 runes
Severance = 20%/enemy/hit
Umbral Shock = 33%/enemy
Hex = 0%, Except for angry chicken = 33%/enemy when you blow it up
Soul Harvest = 0%, except for vengeful spirit = 25%/enemy
Sacrifice = 16%/enemy/dog (every dog deal their own damage to enemies around them)
Black Blood = 16%/enemy/dog
Next of Kin = 16%/enemy/dog
Pride = 16%/enemy/dog
For The Master = 0% (because i got healed for 6201 (the tooltip says 6202) with or without hitting any enemies)
Provoke The Pack = 16%/enemy/dog
Mass confusion = 0%, except for Mass halucination = 13%/enemy/tick
Zombie Charger = 50%/enemy
Leperous Zombie = 50%/enemy/tick STACKS
Undeath = 50%/enemy
Wave of Zombies = 8%/zombie/enemy
Explosive Beast = 50%/enemy
Zombie Bear = 11%/enemy/bear
Spirit Barrage = 100%
The spirit is willing = 100%
Well of Souls = 33%/spirit
Phantasm = 25%/enemy/tick STACKS
Phlebotomize = 100%
Manitou = 12.5%/projectile
(On the contrary to what people believe, i found Acid Clouds and it's runes stack, but only for about 2 cast, because i see a some tick that's more than 100% on the DoT sometimes after multiple casts)
Acid Cloud = 16%,33%,50%,66%,100%/enemy/tick (This number is all over the place, the closer to the center, the bigger the proc is)
Acid Rain = 40%,80%,120%,160%,200%/enemy/tick
Lob Blob Bomb = 33%/enemy/blob STACKS
Slow Burn = 16%,33%,50%,66%,100%/enemy/tick
Kiss of Death = 17%,33%,50%/enemy/tick
Corspe Bomb = 33%/enemy
Wall of Zombies = 16%/enemy/tick
Barricade = 20%/enemy/tick
Unrelenting Grip = 16%/enemy/tick
Creepers = 16%/enemy/tick none from the creepers
Pile On = 50%/enemy
Dead Rush = 33%/zombie/enemy
Gargantuan = 0%, all runes
Big Bad Voodoo = 0% all runes
Fetish Army = 0%, Except for Fetish Ambush = About 20%/enemy/fetish (each fetish deal their own damage to enemy around their spawning point)
I'll try to keep this thread alive and keep updating it with each new patch. Hopefully i'll stick around long enough for that .

Re: Proc Rates Per Skill
Forgot to mention this is retested in 1.05.
The most important thing since the last time I saw this thread is the difference in spiders proc rates.
I am wondering what the single target proc rate is for throwing a series of jars of spiders, e.g. blazing/leaping/widow makers spam then bears/other when mana is regenerated. There are 3 spiders per jar and you can have up to six jars at once.
8%loh/spider, 3 spiders/jar, 6 overlapping jars, after six+ attacks in a row...
If each spider attacks once per second and then dies after three attacks, then attack speed does matter and can increase the LoH for spiders.
At 1.0 aps you only get 3 jars out at one time, causing the LoH to be 8%*3*3 = 72% LoH
At 2.0 aps you can get 6 jars out at one time, causing LoH to be 8%*3*6 = 144% LoH
Any more than 2.0 and I think you'll be removing spiders, but you'll be free to cast something else.
Also of note, Rain of Toads attacks about 1.5x faster than your listed aps, causing it to be on par with splinters for single target damage and way better for LoH.
