Natural gas prices climb with utilities
Published: Wednesday, November 2, 2005 at 8:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 2, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
An 11 percent increase in the price of natural gas took effect Tuesday.
The N.C. Utilities Commission approved the rate hike Monday for PSNC Energy along with similar price increases for utilities statewide.
The price increase is PSNC's third in four months.
The average monthly winter heating bill for a typical PSNC household has increased over the past year from $112 to $174, an all-time high. The rate changes reflect wholesale costs incurred by utilities that are routinely approved by the Utilities Commission.
PSNC Energy President Jerry Richardson issued a statement urging customers to lower thermostats and to notify the company as soon as possible if they are unable to pay their heating bills.

The Raiders are easily the most hated team in all of professional sports. The media hates them when they win, and they REALLY love to hate them when they lose. However, for there to be hatred within the Raider Nation is Unprecedented and should be considered downright treason to us real fans. People speculate that Al meddles too much in his team affairs and that this is the reason the Raiders are in disarray. I beg to differ. I believe it is actually quite the contrary. I believe that Al Davis has ceded FAR too much power to these lazy, incompetent, clueless snakes of coaches with some kind of sick delusional racist fetish to sabotage Jamarcus Russell in the likes of Lame Kiffin, and Tom "cant run or pass the ball so lets use Jamarcus as a scapegoat" Cable.
This is what has really gone un-noticed throughout Cables miserable tenure as the Raiders coach; criticism of Cable himself as a coach! He Sucks. Horribly. Terribly. His constant uptalk of the Raiders future, when we all know the Raiders are talented enough to win now pisses me off. Sure we all know he beat his wife and his asistant coaches, but we also know he CANT beat the lowly Chiefs. (See mysteriously convenient and unnecessary fake field goal against the Chiefs last year) This play would alone would have been grounds for termination if I were Al.
My belief , contrary to ESPN conjecture and local Bay Area trash bags we call "news papers", (that means you SF Gate and InsidetheBay Areas Rat face Ratto) is that all All does is hire, fire, and Draft. All other scheming and strategy is left up to these sorry ass coaches. How is it that Gruden was able to get it done with "Evil Al" lurking about? (Get real) Until one of you idiots can prove to me that it was Al and not fable, I mean Cable who calls a 7 step drop on the goal line agains the Jets, first play from scrimmage with a right talcke who sucks(Khalif barnes) and Calvin pace salivating at the mouth for an eventual fumble in .00002 seconds after the snap, then all of my anger and frustration goes to that bum you call a professional coach Tom Cable. His excuse for that play was "Jamarcus didnt check down in time." Mine was "Tom Cable sucks ass" I could go on for days.
Next article I will defend Al's Draft choices and acquisitions, and why Mario Henderson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Chris Johnson, Janikowski, Shane Lechler and the now seemingly EXCELLENT pick of the emergent Michael Huff and Tyvon "im gonna tackle you" Branch should make the pro bowl. Thomas Howard honorable mention. Seymour. C'mon.

Spaceballs (Collector's Edition
Mel Brooks's 1987 parody of the Star Wars trilogy is a jumble of jokes rather than a comic feature, and, predictably, some of those jokes work better than others. The cast, including Brooks in two roles, more or less mimics the principal characters from George Lucas's famous story line, and the director certainly gets a boost from new allies (SCTV graduates Rick Moranis and John Candy) as well as old ones (Dick Van Patten, Dom DeLuise). Watch this and wait for the sporadic inspiration--but don't be surprised if you find yourself yearning for those years when Brooks was a more complete filmmaker (Young Frankenstein). --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

You know, you really can't describe a Mel Brooks film and do it any justice. You pretty much have to experience all of the one-liners, corny jokes, and physical humor for yourself. When it comes to Brooks' personal brand of humor, you'll either love it or hate it. For fans, there are some really ingenious bits playing off the craft of modern filmmaking and the marketing of film-related paraphernalia. There's even a high-brow joke or two that some viewers probably won't "get." Mostly, though, Spaceballs is chock full of good old-fashioned, corny jokes. It's the type of comedy that should hold up quite well for many years to come.Read more ›
Rick Moranis makes a perfect Dark Helmet, a young Bill Pullman pulls of a sufficiently roguish "Lone Star," and John Candy is well-suited as the Barf the Mawg. Joan Rivers also does the voice for "Dot Matrix," a robot who is vaguely reminiscent of another famous golden skinned druid. Brooks himself makes hilarious appearances as General Scroob and Yogurt, and every sight gag seems to perfectly poke fun at the Holy Trilogy, from "combing the desert" to "ludicrous speed." The film also takes smaller, but nonetheless obvious jabs at other classic sci-fi, including the transforming "Mega-Maid," obvious bows to "Planet of the Apes" and "Alien," and a faulty transporter a-la Star Trek.
As usual, only Brooks could get away with producing a movie featuring a spoiled "Druish princess," men fighting with light swords held in decidedly phallic positions, and jawa-like little people whose language consists of various inflections of "dink." Brooks makes us revel in the sheer political incorrectness of it all, for we know that this is unabashed theater of the absurd.
A hoot and a half from start to finish, this inexpensive DVD should be part of the collection of anyone who enjoys good science fiction or extremely silly but high quality spoof comedy.
Brooks' best films in this category are, of course, Blazing Saddles (a spoof of Westerns) and Young Frankenstein, his hilarious black-and-white take on Universal's 1930s "creature features." Both of these films launched frequent Brooks' player Gene Wilder into comic-leading man stardom for a while, and no other Brooks film since has been as successful or laugh-till-your-sides-ache funny, although a few of his later parody-driven films are still amusing and worth a look.
One of the few is 1987's Spaceballs, which takes on the sci-fi/space opera genre -- specifically, the Star Wars saga -- and takes every cliche and plot device ever used in those films. Starting with a Star Wars-like title crawl and taking comic license with the famous opening shot from Episode IV (a seemingly endless starship rumbles across the screen for what seems like an hour and sporting the cheeky bumper sticker "We Brake For Nobody") and climaxing with the obligatory final showdown between hero and villain, Spaceballs crams references from the Classic Star Wars Trilogy and tosses in bits of Star Trek, Alien and everything in between.
Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) fares well as the hero figure (who is a cross between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo), who flies across the stars on his Space Winnebago. His copilot and pal Barf (the late, great John Candy) is a "mog" -- half man, half dog -- who's his "own best friend." Together, this odd duo is caught up in the slight plot pitting the evil Spaceballs against the peaceful (if rather bland) inhabitants of Planet Druidia.Read more ›

It takes quite a crystal ball to see three years into the future, even for Caterpillar (CAT), so investors may want to look closely at CAT's near-term concerns. On that score, CAT told analysts this week that dealer inventory reductions are ahead of expectations and could result in lower FY12 revenue guidance by ~$2B. One positive note: CAT said it won't reduce the dividend, even in a downturn.

If this were an investors' market, the news on CAT would not be so bad. Unfortunately, this is a computer driven traders' market, where value is secondary to headlines, short term trends and short selling algorithms.
If you have courage for this kind of market and you are an investor, you could do a lot worse that CAT. Good luck.

Hi guys.
Missing favicon image file
/wp-includes/images/wpmini-blue.png does not exist, makes the my sites admin menu show a missing image file placeholder in your new dashboard.
Yep, same problem. Something to do with the WPMU DEV Dashboard plugin?
Confirmed it's the Ultimate Branding plugin
looks like wpmini-blue.png was one of the files marked for removal during the 3.8 update process.
I assume that's a mistake. Although when I deactivate the UB plugin the PNG shows normally.
I assume that's a mistake.
I don't see wpmini-blue.png or wpmini-blue-2x.png in a fresh copy of 3.8.
..and when I grep the entire 3.8 package, the only references to wpmini-blue are the two hits in update-core.php.
Conversely, if you grep the entire package for 3.7.1, you will get references to both the images in /wp-includes/css/admin-bar.css and admin-bar.min.css
So, based on that info, my thoughts are that the references to the images have been removed from /admin-bar.css, and the images have been removed from /wp-includes/images. Seems intentional rather than erroneous.
when I deactivate the UB plugin the PNG shows normally.
Interesting.. What's the source code say about the path to the image you're seeing? Maybe the behavior is different in a network (MU) setup? Or maybe I'm just not seeing the entire picture.. which is most definitely possible! It certainly deserves a little more investigation.
[edit] Relevant discussion: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26036
(PNG not showing, UB plugin active)
If I'm doing it right... when I deactivate UB plugin and use Firebug this is what I get:
I suspect /wp-includes/fonts/dashicons.svg, but appending that to my own domain url and then looking at the source code just makes my head hurt... you might open dashicons.css in an editor and take a peek for yourself, but I'm in way over my head, now! :-)
Looking at /wp-includes/fonts/dashicons.svg I see lots and lots of this and have no idea what it is! LOL

In the UB plugin I added my own favicon, which is better and I don't see the empty img placeholder. But this is also way over my head!
That is no longer an image but a font-icon from Dashicons: http://melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/
So the UB plugin needs to get updated for 3.8 :) It's calling an image that no longer exists (and that's why we tell you not to do that, plugin devs, unless you're going to keep up with WP changes and test promptly)
Hi guys.
Sorry i didn't respond earlier, been quite a busy week.
Marking this as resolved.
We do try to keep on top of changes before the final release. But occasionally these things just slip through as you know. This was one of those, where it was unexpected because we always expect people that enabled the favicon function to actually upload a favicon when they enable it, not just enable it and not upload a favicon.
But cheers for the comments.
Have a great christmas.

In Dularge, Jindal pledges school reform in '12
Published: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 7:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 7:22 p.m.
Gov. Bobby Jindal hinted at major changes he has planned for the state's education system Monday during a visit to Dularge Middle School.
The visit kicked off a string of planned visits to elementary, middle and high schools throughout the state ahead of education reforms Jindal plans to enact in the coming year.
Jindal observed a few minutes of fifth-grade math teacher Madenna Voisin's class, then met with Superintendent Philip Martin, Assistant Superintendent Carol Davis and Dularge Middle Principal Cheryl Degruise.
"We came here to see our reforms in action but also to listen and see what we can do better to improve the lives of our kids," Jindal said. "We heard a lot that we can incorporate into our reform plan, including how critical it is to have effective teachers in the classroom, how red tape hampers a school's ability to make smart decisions with their dollars and how the state can be a better partner for our districts."
Jindal said he chose Dularge Middle for the start of his weeks-long tour because it earned a High Performing-High Poverty School designation. The school has a district performance score of 114.2, or a B+, an achievement considered laudable since 65 percent of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Lower-income students face more education obstacles and generally don't do as well on high-stakes tests.
"It's a big honor for him to be here." Martin said. "He knows a lot about our schools, and he spent a lot of time asking us about what the state can do to help."
Jindal said Terrebonne Parish schools have implemented reforms he would like to see practiced statewide.
He cited:
- A teacher-performance incentive program that financially rewards teachers and schools whose students perform well on standardized tests.
- An emphasis on intervening with third-grade students who struggle with math and reading. The effort aims to bring them up to speed before they take the high-stakes LEAP test as fourth-graders.
- A pilot program that includes students' standardized scores in individual teacher evaluations.
Terrebonne is one of fewer than 10 school systems in the state to participate in the Act 54 pilot program, named after the legislative order that created it. The system bases 50 percent of a teacher's evaluation on a new system of principal evaluations and classroom observations.
The other 50 percent is based on a "value-added" assessment that tracks how much students improve over the course of a school term.
That improvement is largely measured in terms of standardized-test scores given at the beginning and end of the term. That has upset some teacher unions, who don't think standardized tests fully measure a student's skills.
Jindal said he wants the Board of Elementary and Secondary education to implement the new evaluation system statewide. He defended standardized tests as the only means available to concretely measure student ability.
"Student achievement has to be tied somehow to student results," Jindal said.
Jindal pointed out that schools have long used advanced-placement tests and other exams to measure school and student performance.
Martin said the programs Jindal touted have worked well for the Terrebonne school system.
"These are things we've already tried that we think have led to some serious gains," he said.
Martin said using standardized tests is fair for core subjects such as math and English language arts, although educators are still tweaking tests for courses such as art and music.
"As long as it's done in a fair, reasonable and scientific manner, I think it works," Martin said. "We only apply value-added to core subjects, and for those we have hard, fast data based on test results."

'Clean coal' doesn't exist; let's use renewable energy
If you woke up in Charleston, W.Va., last week, you would not have been able to take a shower or brush your teeth at the bathroom tap. You'd have made your coffee with bottled water if you were lucky enough to find it and had enough left over after sponge-bathing your children with it and giving a little to your dog. Your children would not have been able to go to school, and you could not have washed clothes or dishes. Your local hospitals would have been in emergency mode. You might have been laid off from work.
Why? A chemical called 4-methylcyclohexane methanol leaked into the water supply, and the region's water will not be safe until the contamination is less than one part in a million.
This chemical is used to wash coal before shipping it to power plants. So there are three ways that there is no such thing as "clean coal," regardless of the corporate-funded feel-good commercials about it. Coal mining in West Virginia uses mountaintop removal. Ancient mountains are simply destroyed. The air, land and rivers are decimated by the debris of blasting, a process that involves very few jobs. Then the coal is treated with the dangerous chemical that triggered this water emergency. Finally, coal-fired power plant smokestacks emit many harmful substances: carcinogens and neurotoxins like mercury, arsenic and lead, contributing factors to breathing disorders like soot and carbon monoxide, and massive quantities of carbon dioxide that contribute to potentially devastating climate change. The human health costs of coal emissions are in the billions of dollars, and the costs to our planet's health are almost impossible to calculate.
There are clean, affordable and job-producing alternatives right now. With present technology, wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower could supply all our energy needs without health and environmental hazards and at lower costs than fossil fuels, when all the real costs are included. Don't believe what the fossil fuel industry tells you. Let's leave it in the ground and build a life-sustaining energy future now.

NEW YORK (May 17, 2013)--Younger baby boomers and Generation Xers face uncertain retirements because of reduced savings, high levels of debt, and losses during the Great Recession, a research report by the Pew Charitable Trusts says.
The study found that members of Generation X, who are now between 38 and 47 lost almost half their wealth between 2007 and 2010.
Young baby boomers, between 48 and 57 lost more money, too, but a smaller portion of their overall wealth.
The report says both of those groups are struggling to save enough money for retirement and are lagging older groups in terms of their savings.
They also hold more debt than those groups did at similar points in their lives.

I'm using WP in hebrew and I downloaded an english theme-pack [or whatever you call it], well any way, it has rounded edges, but since my WP is rtl, the sidebar moved to the right, and the rounded edges stayed where they've been, which made them be on the wrong side...
I fixed it by changing "left"s with "right"s on the .css file, yet I left with one problem: I have a button which makes the sidebar disappear and make the sharp edge of the main page to become rounded, and sharp again when I return the sidebar. but since sided changed, now it affects the side which should stay always rounded. I couldn't find where I can change the effect of that button to the other corner... any ideas of how to fix it?
you can see the problem here:
Thanks ahead!

Welcome to Awakening Your Existence! (The Website for Psychic Medium Matthew Pierce from Dallas, TX.) I welcome you to my website and hope the information in its pages will help you along your journey. With the help of my Guides, my Angels and many teachers, I have learned many lessons and I hope that this website will assist your learning process as well.
I hold the firm belief that everyone is psychic. We all have an inborn gift that allows us to tap into the divine energy all around us. Some were raised in households that it was okay to exhibit such gifts. Others, like myself, were convinced out of their abilities. Regardless of your upbringing, you too can develop and enjoy your gifts. I operate in many different practices, psychic, medium, reader, healer and trance channel. All of which I can do because of my understanding of how to connect to energy. You too have this ability. So if you want to learn anything about the metaphysical, that's a great place to start.
If you have landed on this page…its probably not an accident. I started my journey back to discovery about 6 years ago. With the aid of my first spiritual teacher, Alice. With understanding guidance she led me to understand how to tap into my own talents and start receiving universal knowledge. Most of this knowledge was accumulated through my Guides. (I've devoted a section to introduce you to them.) I have come to trust the information that comes through, even though the lessons are sometimes very hard. This last year has been one trial after another. But, with the help of friends, family, and yes my guides, I have been elevated back to a place where I can see the joy in life. I'm sure many of you can related.

text: Heaven Hill New Blended Bourbon Honors Longtime Master Distiller By Associated Press • Jul 24, 2013 Kentucky's renowned bourbon brands are offering up a bit of their whiskeys for a special blend to benefit efforts to find a cure for Lou Gehrig's disease in honor of longtime Heaven Hill Distilleries master distiller Parker Beam. The result of the effort is called Master Distillers' Unity. Bardstown-based Heaven Hill says a crystal two-bottle set of the one-of-its-kind blend will be offered at auction in New York City on Oct. 13. All proceeds will go to the Parker Beam Promise of Hope Fund, which is raising money for research and patient care by the ALS Association. Parker Beam has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. The special blend includes bourbon from Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey and Woodford Reserve. Distillery in Louisville Latest Member of Kentucky Bourbon Trail By Associated Press • May 9, 2013 bizpics.com The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is expanding to include a small distillery that's tucked in the shadows of skyscrapers in downtown Louisville. Heaven Hill Distilleries' new distillery will become the eighth stop on the popular tourist attraction that has drawn more than 2.5 million visitors in the past five years. Mayor Greg Fischer said Thursday that bringing the Bourbon Trail to Louisville will enhance the city's bourbon tourism efforts. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail takes visitors to several rural and rustic settings to visit the places where iconic bourbons such as Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, and Woodford Reserve are crafted. Kentucky is home to 95 percent of the world's bourbon production.

NicholasCJun 18, 2008One of the best Silver Jews albums easily. Outstanding lyrics all around, hardly a skippable track to be found. Big improvement on Tanglewood Numbers. Carrie's singing is better than ever and doesn't feel forced on any of the tracks. Highly recommended.
Taken as a whole, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea stills far short of the Silver Jews' seminal statements--namely 1998's "American Water" and 1994's "Starlite Walker"--but its mix of mischief and melancholy provides more than enough to keep David Berman in the game he continues to reassuringly and unpredictably play on his own terms.
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is the logical next chapter in this manuscript which has had many of us hooked since the opening lines.
FilterLookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is the most assured and poignant album since the band's third, "American Water." [Spring 2008, p.97]

Ilove pumpkin seed oil with its nutty taste...However this butter as way to much salt for my liking! Salt is the overall taste here! I think they have done this to not only extend the shelf life, but to try & make it taste like peanut butter which is a mistake, because if that's what i had wanted then that's what i would have bought.

CD/LP/Track Review
- No Green Bananas by Wade Luquet
On his debut recording, pianist Jim Holton creates a contemporary sound that doesn't pander. The set, produced by the session's bassist, Mike Boone, is a suave swing through Holton's original compositions in a variety of settings. Prayer for Healing, written with bassist Tyrone Brown, is a Latin-tinged beauty, while the title track features some elegant blowing from tenor saxophonist Jon Thompson, trombonist Joe McDonough, and trumpeter John Swana. The session('s) sophisticated sounds elicit pleasure. - Philadelphia Inquirer

Many long-running applications would greatly benefit from being able to recover faulty versions in N-version programs since their exclusion from further use undermines the availability of the system. Developing a recovery feature, however, is a very complex and error-prone task, which the author believes has not received adequate attention. Although many researchers are aware of the importance of version recovery, there are very few schemes which include these features. Even when they do, they rely on ad hoc programming and are not suitable for object-oriented systems. The author believes that developing systematic approaches here is crucial, and formulates a general approach to version recovery in class diversity schemes, which is based on the concept of the abstract version state. The approach extends the recently-developed class diversity scheme and relies on important ideas motivated by community error recovery. The diversity scheme includes two-level error detection which allows error latency to be controlled. To use it, special application-specific methods for each version object have to be designed, which would map the internal state into the abstract state and at the same time, form a basis for one-level version recovery. The approach is discussed in detail, compared with the existing solutions, and additional benefits of using the abstract version state are shown. The intention is to outline a disciplined way for providing version recovery and thus make it more practical. Two promising approaches which can be used for developing new structuring techniques incorporating the abstract version state concept are discussed

Hi - I'm paranoid after a series of hacks on a site I maintain [I've concluded it's the webhost it's on - no one in the list recommended by WordPress! That's another story...]
Anyway, my own site is happy and healthy but I was doing some password updating like a good boy and noticed the password I login with on wp-admin is different to the one in the wp_users table in the sql database. Is that usual? Do I need to be more paranoid?
Many thanks for any help or advice.

A Richmond Hill woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death was arraigned Thursday after he was found dead two days earlier, the Queens district attorney said.
Shirley Forbes, 63, was arrested Wednesday after police said she allegedly stabbed her 55-year-old boyfriend, Lee Burrison, once in the chest in their 112th Street home Tuesday night, killing him.
Police said they discovered Burrison lying face up on his living room floor bleeding from the chest around 10:44 p.m Tuesday. He was pronounced dead soon after arriving at Jamaica Hospital, the NYPD said.
Brown said the couple already had a documented history of disputes, according to an order of protection issued on Burrison's behalf in November ordering Forbes to refrain from assaulting, harassing or committing any other criminal offenses against him.
Forbes was charged with manslaughter, criminal possession of a weapon and aggravated criminal contempt and was held without bail, Brown said. His next court date is May 2.
She could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Yesterday I did a full system update (the old one dates back less than a month) and now all my global keybindings don't work anymore. They are created via "gconf-editor" and are located in /apps/metacity/keybindings_commands and global_keybindings. I noticed that there are now only my user generated ones whereas before global_keybindings and keybinding_commands was full of placeholders like run_command_1, run_command_2,....
A search for run_command (include key names) only finds my user defined ones as well so it doesn't seem like they have moved.
A google search for "gnome 3 keybindings moved" didn't find anything with search restriction to the last month.
I updated with "sudo pacman -Su" (I am using Arch Linux).

Keep Animal Testing Out of Your Shopping Cart
Tips to make sure cruelty isn't an ingredient in your makeup, personal care and other products
You can become a more compassionate consumer by making sure your cosmetics and personal care, household and pet care products aren't tested on animals. It's easier than you think.
Find certified cruelty-free products
Follow the Leaping Bunny
If you want to know which products are tested on animals—and which aren't—start with the Leaping Bunny guide, a list of cruelty-free brands compiled by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics. The cosmetic, personal care, household and pet care companies listed in the guide have met a rigorous, internationally recognized cruelty-free standard.
Download the Leaping Bunny app for iPhone/iPad or Android
Look for the Leaping Bunny logo
Some CCIC-certified companies make animal friendly shopping easier by displaying the Leaping Bunny logo on their products.
Choose bunny-approved online stores
When you shop at crueltyfreeconsumer.com, vitacost.com/cruelty-free, whiterabbitbeauty.com or drugstore.com/crueltyfree, you can be sure you're buying products that are Leaping Bunny-certified. And there's a bonus: Buy any of these animal-friendly goodies and a percentage of the purchase price will be donated to the CCIC.
Support the Humane Cosmetics Act, which would end cosmetics testing on animals in the U.S. »
Ask companies if they test on animals
If a brand you're considering isn't on the Leaping Bunny list, contact the company and ask if its products or ingredients are tested on animals at any stage in the manufacturing process. Also ask if the company sells its products in China, which requires animal testing of cosmetics. You can get in touch with companies using the toll-free number on their packages or via their website.
Get more companies to go cruelty-free
Help expand the number of companies that meet the Leaping Bunny standard by asking them to join the CCIC and have their products certified cruelty-free. Download a sample letter/email for ideas on how to word your request. Check the product or the company's website for contact information.

One week after touring the middle and high school buildings to see how they would absorb elementary classes, the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board approved a resolution to close Carroll and Graytown schools for the 2012-13 school year.
Board members also gave their approval for the district to implement single-route busing for the 2012-13 school year. Currently, the district uses two routes in the morning – one for the high school and middle school – and another for elementary students as well as one route in the afternoon.
Members of a committee formed last year to review the structure of Lucas County government and is advocating the election of a single, unifying leader for the county, appeared before Oregon City Council last month to present its recommendations.
The committee supports a political structure that would contribute to reversing the economic decline of the region by facilitating concerted, collaborative efforts to reduce costs, eliminate duplication, and encourage regional cooperation. The group made a series of recommendations last May based on its study.

Sooooo Good!!!! I love the cinnamon and spice. All I had was chocolate revel ice cream, so that added a little more chocolate flavor. Instead of making ice cubes, I poured that mixture into a shallow pan, froze it, then scraped the top every hour, making these cool ice crystals. (I saw this on the Giada De Laurentiis show). Then I mixed everything together, topped with a nice dollop of whipped cream and enjoyed ... mmmmm :)
Yummo, this is a winner, sweet, creamy & decadent with the chipotle kick on the palette. It's just enough not too much of anything, measurements are perfect, loved this!
I loved this & I am not one for frozen drinky thingies!!! I am very picky when it comes to frozen treats ( I am admittedly a hard to please Lady!!!) - BUT this ROCKS!!! It is the spice and sweet heat of the cinnamon and chipotle that "shakes" this up - loved it!!! I used a low-cal hot chocolate mix, regular half and half (sorry - that's all I had) and low fat chocolate ice cream. I had made the ice cubes a few days before the shake/slush so they were there when the mood struck for an icy treat. Love the mix of the chili spice & cinnamon with chocolate - what a rich, decadent drink!!! Made for ZWT3 on a busy weekend while DH and I are packing to move; so I ended up pouring the whole blender batch into one glass to share (not much left on our shelves!!!) - my presentation could have been so much better...I plan to make another batch in my new digs in celebration...it is that great of a treat. It gave us just the kick we needed to get back to our tasks happily - refreshed and energized!! - Loved it - Thanks cookiedog
Wow Cookie, this little treat called me from across the internet. It is so good. I'm so glad that I prepared the chocolate and coffee ice cubes yesterday. What a lovely way to wake up. All of my favourite things in a ice cold drink. Coffee, chocolate, ice cream and hot & spicy spices. I can't wait for my dh to get home so that I can enjoy the slush all over again with him...Thanks for sharing.
