text: Rookwood pottery was made in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1880 to 1960. All of this art pottery is marked, most with the famous flame mark. The R is reversed and placed back to back with the letter P. Flames surround the letters. After 1900, a Roman numeral was added to the mark to indicate the year. The company went bankrupt in 1941. For several years various owners tried to revive the pottery, but by 1967 it was out of business. The name and some of the molds were bought by a collector in 1984. In 2005, Christopher Rose and his brother, Patrick, bought the company and 3,700 original molds, the name, and trademark. Today they make architectural tile, art pottery, beer steins, bookends, and limited edition items. The molds were kept in his basement until 2006 when a group of investors bought them and revived the pottery. The Rookwood Pottery Co. currently makes fireplaces, tiles, and bookends in old designs and special items for limited edition vases and steins for Christmas. In its early years, Rookwood used local Ohio clays.

For reference on my preference, ten bands I like in no particular order: System of a Down, Pixies, Nirvana, Metallica, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers...I can't even name 10 without adding classic rock bands.
I know these are all popular mainstream bands, but they all were able to develop their own style without a record company's help.
I'm not genre specific on what kind of rock. Just as long as one band's music sounds good and like nobody else's.
So, are there any popular bands out there that fits my preference that I should be paying attention to, or any indie rock bands who have the potential to be the next great band?
Disclaimer: I'm not saying that whatever bands that I dislike suck. I'm saying they do not fit my preference.

Edit: Decided to make this easier for those who choose to reply. I'd appreciate those with suggestions would first reply by typing.
Name Of Band
Notable Songs
And, please, don't literally type the above bold words. lol

You should look at Berry's 'now playing... with pictures!' thread. Plenty to choose from.
The only way you're going to find other bands you like is to listen to lots of music. I'd take Brof's advice and check out Berry's thread. I found a lot of great new music there.
Try Pandora Radio.....
it picks songs for you based on what you like ...personalized internet radio....
Ozma - Baseball, Shooting Stars, The Landing of Yuri Gargain, Immigration song, Gameover, No One Needs to Know
look no further than Ozma if you want a band that sounds similar to weezer. River's has even said that this band does what he does, but better.
Another option, go to Pitchfork.com, find the bands with the WORST reviews, and then listen to them. No joke, all my favorite bands are hated on by Pitchfork. Kind of like Roger Ebert and Movies. The ones he hates are the ones I love.
Young the Giant (previously known as The Jakes) -
As a side note, I can't believe that second video has over a million hits! I've been following Young the Giant (then The Jakes) for about two years now and it's insane to see them transform from a band which had under 100 likes on facebook to a band that's now apparently getting television spots and regular radio play. It's great to see fantastic bands get the recognition/big break they deserve!

midaso]AAgain?? Has she been there before?
Ragsy25]tthe fact that she is a beautiful girl who can model and still wants to play a sport like tennis. it is rare and refreshing to see that. i have known so many girls that get caught up in the fact they are beautiful and never keep going in their sport. Maria is competitive and likes to go out and be the best at what she does. she is not afraid of a little hard work and to go out and get a little sweaty to be the best at tennis. a lot of girls like to just sit around and do nothing. but she plays a sport and is good at it and looks great doing it. that is such a turn-on to me. but then, she is still a normal person off the court. yes, she likes to party and visit great places and do her promotional shoots, but she also likes to be with family and friends, decorate her house, and even stamp collect. not many high profile atheletes do down to earth things such as that. and she seems to have a fun personality. i think that is great cause she didnt seem stuck -up to me when i got a picture with her. she was just kind and courteous. so, she just rocks in soo many ways. i actually kind of miss Maria and cant wait to see her play again. :)

Only 25 minutes long but worth every penny. This little suite of tunes from Peter Fonda's 'psychedelic western' 'The Hired Hand' is truly beautiful with acclaimed session musician (and early Dylan accompanyist) Bruce Langhorne creating a drifting, hazy set of acoustic magic, played and recorded by himself on cheap equipment with a beautifully intimate and wasted sound. Dylan clearly expanded on the sound for his 'Pat Garrett..' soundtrack (which involved Langhorne prominently) and you can hear echoes from there all the way to Bonnie Prince Billy, MV And EE and more. A highly recommended little gem.

The most amazing boyfriend in the world. He is in love with Taylor Swift and knows each and every one of her songs. He is sweet, stuburn and an all around American boy. I love Aaron.

Awesome, plain and simple. Considered by most to be almost godly in nature his dick is massive and his ability to pleasure women is legendary though only a few have experienced this righteous act of manlyness. They are known to be intellectual and breathtakingly handsome although shy at a first encounter. He has been hurt but due to his stubbornness he doesn't allow it to happen again. There was and will be only one. So don't fuck with an Aaron, ever, and make sure you don't misspell this work of arts name wrong, like Erin. That would be hazardous to your health.

The name that really means "My parents were too lazy to look past the first name in the book"... or, just a really cool guy in general. Best name ever.

an Aaron is the type of person who can always make you laugh but yet make you wonder why your even laughing. An aaron are males who are amazingly smart and attractive but not cocky about it. Aaron is a guy you can just stand near and be insanely happy because your close to him. Aarons are also great friends and lovers :) Aarons know no limits and live life to the fullest, which can sometimes mean drinking alot! An Aaron is the upmost amazing guy put on earth. So sweet, kind, funny, smart, hot, trustworthy, honest, and genuine person. Anyone who has an aaron in their life are so lucky and better never let them go. Oh they are also great kissers and have a freaking hot body!
Girl 1: Gosh I had the best time last night on my date! He was god's gift to earth
Girl 2: let me guess, you got an aaron?

It's mind-boggling, and incredibly depressing, too, to see the mindless insanity of today's rightwing rhetoric; and I say this as someone who voted for Ronald Reagan for President.
I supported Reagan because of his strong foreign policy; at the time I was covering Afghanistan, and, like those who went off to fight in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, my vision was myopically limited to the life-and-death struggle I was immersed in.
I ignored Reagan's simple-minded belief that all government was bad and the free market immaculately perfect, shrugging it off as goofy by-product of SoCal eccentricity.
Little did I know; mea culpa. The truth is, we have reached a point in history where an ideal generated a republic and a republic an empire, and that empire is beginning to contract; and as it does, the original ideal of individual freedom, tempered by an implicit social contract of empathy and common interest, is completely forsaken.
We are supposed to be a nation of men, not laws, but that only works when the concept of citizenship, that we are all somehow bound together in a common enterprise, is so strong that it's taken for granted. Throughout our history the power of that ideal has waxed and waned, but it has never been absent; and at times like the Second World War, when we believed we were fighting to free all people everywhere (except, for the moment, our own citizens of African descent), you could see that ideal animating our entire national consciousness.
Not only were we Americans brothers and sisters shoulder to shoulder in the same fight; everybody allied with us was regarded almost as a fellow citizen: Empathy extended all around the world. Hollywood films celebrated the courage of Russian partisans and Chinese peasant guerrillas the same way they did Yanks, our British cousins, and the other Europeans fighting against fascism.
Today, it's hard to even imagine that kind of comradeship and commonality, even in regard to the war we are currently waging against Islamic extremists. The media doesn't even bother to portray our Afghan allies as human beings with ideas, hopes and ambitions of their own, and our American soldiers aren't treated much better; it's as if they don't really exist.
When a local columnist wrote of attending an Arizona Cardinals home game against the New York Giants, and mentioned how Giants fans shouted obscenities and insults about Pat Tillman, the former Cardinal player who enlisted in the Rangers and was killed in Afghanistan, I tried to imagine the same thing happening during World War II, or even Vietnam, and failed. At the same time, sadly, I wasn't surprised. Empathy is passé these days, and the Free Market rules all, without mercy or regret: society as a snakepit.
No wonder America is plummeting on the list of nations on the Quality of Life scale: Government attempts to improve education, crime, pollution, medical care, even an efficient infrastructure, are painted as somehow "leftwing" or even "Marxist-Leninist." And the public seems to buy it: When citizens in Seattle put forth a proposal to put a 5 cent surcharge on every cup of coffee sold in the city to fund better public education, Starbucks (unbelievably) spent tens of thousands of dollars campaigning against it, and succeeded in getting it defeated at the polls. Yes, unbelievable. But no more surreal than the specter of the so-called "Tea Party Movement," a phony populist movement funded by big business and scripted by old Republican Party hacks which espouses "smaller government," "lower taxes" and "a balanced budget." Funny thing; we had a balanced budget – even a surplus – when that evil old tax-and-spend Clinton was in office. And under shrewd fiscal conservative George Bush, we lost it all.
The tea party is a scam invented by the super rich to get even richer, but instead of revealing it for what it is, the news media portrays it as a legitimate grassroots phenomenon that grew naturally out of spontaneous rage at "Big Government" and a bad economy. In the media's eyes, if something excites enough Americans, it is automatically "authentic," and therefore somehow "good." They would have been great in Germany during the 1930s when Hitler was taking power: "Look at those crowds, how the people are cheering him! Ya gotta love it, folks!" So we have the very real possibility that government spending on medical care, schools, roads, parks et al will be cut back even further; pretty soon we'll be battling Moldavia for 30th place on the Quality of Life index.
Welcome to the snakepit, boys and girls, and leave your empathy at the door.

April 20, 2010I would like to issue an explanation for the attention of my fellow customers in the newsagents round the corner from my house.
I was leaping up and down and grinning dementedly last week not because I am a case for the men in white coats, but because I've just seen this week's Heat.
This is what the magazine's reviewer says about My Single Friend: '5 stars out of 5 – Riotous … thoroughly enjoyable and laugh-out-loud hilarious.'
Between that and another magnificent five star review from chicklitreviews.com, it's fair to say I'm a happy woman.

Vici MVC is a MVC Web application framework for .NET 2.0 or higher. It runs on the low-level ASP.NET layer provided by the .NET framework, but does not use ASP.NET WebForms and Controls. The framework is controller-centric as opposed to the view-centric architecture of ASP.NET WebForms. This allows Web applications to be built according to the MVC pattern with minimal effort. Vici MVC emphasises complete separation of concerns, ease of use, minimal configuration requirements, integration with any data access technology, performance, and easy deployment ("XCOPY deployment").
CVS, GIT, and Mercurial as well as other well-known version control systems cannot version directories. In other words, you cannot add empty directories. A "workaround" for this issue is to use placeholder files that are placed into empty directories. These placeholder files can then be committed into the repository and will make sure that, upon checkout, the directory tree is entirely reconstructed. The problem with using placeholder files is that you need to create them, and need to delete them if they are not necessary anymore (because sub-directories or real files were added). With big source trees, managing these placeholder files can be cumbersome and error prone. MarkEmptyDirs can manage the creation/deletion of such placeholder files automatically. It creates placeholder files in all empty "leaf" directories. If later on new files or directories are put into such directories, the placeholder files are not necessary anymore, and are removed automatically.
Wieldy is a to-do list manager that is based on the principles of GTD (Getting Things Done). It allows you to manage your to-dos in a simple but effective way. To-dos can be created as thoughts and actions, which can then be assigned to the Next Action, Today, or Someday categories. Tasks can also be scheduled and listed in a calender-like overview, as well as linked to a project or simply put on hold. Wieldy also allows you to manage your contacts and delegate actions to them. Other features include support for data encryption, tagging, priorities, recurring action templates, and synchronization with other PIMs like Outlook. No installation is needed.

Who We Are
The German Club was founded in 2000 to promote awareness of and interest in German-speaking cultures and German language by connecting current students in German with the rest of the campus and surrounding communities. The Club also supports the study of German through social and academic events and raises funds for the annual German Club Grant.
Students enrolled in the German Studies program are automatically members and others on and off campus are invited to join. There are no Club dues.
The Club is governed by an elected Council and consists of four student officers elected by their peers each spring. Working closely with our faculty advisor, the Council is responsible for organizing and planning Club events.
The Club is very active and sponsors numerous events during the year. Stammtisch, Kaffeestunde and Filmabend have brought students together to share their interests in all things German. Events are open to the community.
The Club also hosts the annual Oktoberfest and Maifest as opportunities to further cultural awareness and to raise funds for the annual German Club Grant and other activities.
All Club events and the Annual Club Grant are funded by student activities. The Club also sells an assortment of authentic German items: Advent Calendars in November as well as chocolates, candies, and T-shirts.
The German Club Grant
The $1000 Grant is awarded to a student who is enrolled in German classes and meets the Grant qualifications. It is paid in thirds, one each quarter of the academic year, as long as the student is enrolled in a German class. Applications are available at the start of spring term and due in May.

It could be a treacherous commute for many taking to area roads this evening.
Roadway conditions continue to worsen as heavy snow falls throughout the area with as much as eight inches of accumulation expected in areas. A winter storm warning remains in effect through midnight for McHenry County.
The McHenry County Sheriff's Office is advising motorists to avoid Route 31 between Crystal Lake and MchHenry due to a hill that has become impassable.
Motorists were also getting stuck on the hill on Haligus Road just south of Lakewood Road in Lake in the Hills, according to a comment on the Algonquin-LITH Patch Facebok page.
The Northwest Herald is reporting treacherous conditions on Route 14 and Route 176 as well. And a three-car accident at Route 31 and Route 62 is backing up traffic in the area, according to the Northwest Herald.
Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Transportation is reporting snow- or ice-covered roadways throughout McHenry County and northern Illinois and the Illinois Tollway has mobilized its full fleet of 182 snow plows in response to the snowfall.
The Illinois Tollway offers the following tips for driving safe during
- Slow down and leave enough time to reach your destination
- Remember to always wear your safety belt and ensure children under the age of 8 are securely restrained in child safety seats
- Yield to snowplows and emergency vehicles
- Don't text while driving. It's illegal.
- Dial *999 on your cell phone to report incidents

I am having trouble getting my son to let go of the bottle he is almost 16 months old and will only take an ounce or two of milk in a cup. I have tried putting water in the bottle, just taking the bottles and hiding them and I have even tried just to get him to take it for just bedtime and through the night. Sometimes he does really well only getting them at night but other times he refuses a nap until he gets a bottle...any ideas?? Please
Have you tried any versions of crazy straws? Colorful or oddly shaped straws can encourage drinking to make it fun. if you refuse to give him a bottle, eventually he will drink what you give him. Hope this helps.
Did you try putting only whole milk in the bottle? At 16 months, he should be eating solid foods, as well. Is he eating fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains? Is he taking a multi-vitamin? Ask your pediatrician about vitamins if your baby is a fussy eater, just to make sure he is getting enough nutrition. Is he getting his calcium from other sources, such as yogurt and cheese? Even still, he needs whole milk in his diet, so if he only wants to drink it from the bottle, let him. He will eventually wean off to a sippy cup.
my son just turned 15months & he has the straw cups and sippy cups but he prefers the bottles. Do you have other suggestions? Do you put milk in the straw cups? Is giving a bottle ok before they go to sleep?
If you are stil having trouble, I agreed with the other mom about not giving your child a bottle at bedtime. It is not good for their teeth and there is really no reason they need a bottle at bedtime. When my daughter turned one, we were told by her doctor to quit bottle and switch to sippy cup. We did exactly what the doctor said, and we quit bottles COLD TURKEY. My daughter was the same as your son, didn't want to have anything to do with a sippy cup. But you just have to do it and they will eventually drink from the cup when they get hungry enough. Putting water in the bottle and giving one at bedtime is just telling your child the bottle is still there and he can have it. My daughter threw a fit at first, but after a few days she was drinking formula and whole milk from a sippy like a pro! At first, I didn't know how I would ever get my daughter to switch from a bottle to a cup. She wouldn't even HOLD her own bottle at 12 months!! But when we decided to quit cold turkey, it worked! All we did was just offer her a sippy full of milk throughout the day and she eventually picked it up and drank.
Nuby sippy cups silicone nipples will be an easier transition they are similar to a bottle. Also for cleaning the nipples dr. browns bottle brushes work really well! Just stick to your guns he will try to out wait you! But stay strong and know that you are doing it becuase you Love him!

Neighborhoods: Ward 2
I never thought I would ever eat at you restaurant, only because I do not eat seafood AT ALL! My friend had her birthday at your restaurant and of course I went. It was absolutly WONDERFUL. We had such a GREAT time! Thank You!!!
Specialty - Poor , service, . .no . . make it TERRIBLE! – My wife and I went there, and as we walked in, we walked right by two waitresses who said absolutely nothing to us! We stood there for a minute and they didn't say anything, so we asked them, " Are we suppose to seat ourselves?" . . one just looked at us and told us to sit where ever we wanted. We were the only ones in there. We sat there for 10 minutes while the waitresses talked to each other and totally ignored us. I finally went over and asked one if I could get a menu, and she handed me one. Another 10 minutes, and no one ever came over and asked us if we wanted to have something to drink, or whether we were ready to order, . . NOTHING! The wife and I finally just got up and walked out the door, right past the two waitresses, and they never said anything to us! Never tried the food, but if it isn't any better than their customer service, I would expect food poisoning.
Don't go at lunch, you can't get service – Arrived at 11:15 and waited 5 minutes to be seated. Waited 10 more minutes to get a waitress even though we were alone. Went downhill from there. Staff was busy eating so we could not get service. Finally at 11:45 we had our soup and salad, but it didn't taste right. We were at teppan grill with no cook so we decided to leave.
We used to love this place, but in the last year it has changed. The bar service is magnitudes better. I would skip the soup and salad and eat my entree in the bar.
It seems like the soup and dressing recipe has changed for the worse. We will eat entrees at the bar--great Sakura Wine.
awesome dining – We have eaten here about six or seven times and have always been completely satisfied. The food very good the service awesome and the atmosphere is always comfortable and cheerful, would recommend to anyone.
I would recommend to anyone.. – My experience here was extremely enjoyable and memorable. It was my first time at this establishment and went for my birthday to do something special.
The staff went out of their way to make sure I had a good time for my birthday and they even did something unique during the teppanyaki. The fried rice was extremely fresh and so was the sushi. It is in a nice location of Tucson as well. Right across the street you can play miniature golf, or hit the arcade.
The chef was very energetic, and extremely skilled during the service. He made us laugh a few times and the waitress was very accommodating and friendly. I give it 5 stars for anyone who enjoys Japanese and Asian cuisine. A definite must-see for me, as one who enjoys both. I recommend it to ANYONE.
Nice service – Went there looking for some good sushi... left with a stomach ache. Sushi wasn't well made, we could not even finish the rolls :(
diarreah central – I was enthralled by the tiki fires. Then when i got the food... interesting. the waitress was veryy nice and then i saw her mopping the floor intensely ( got scared). Anyway... as soon as i got home i had the most intense fierce diarehea i've ever had in my life.
Great Sushi, exceptional service – EXelant customer service. VERY fres Sushi. Every time we've gone here my family has been treated very well, on occasion being greeted and aving sushi dishes reccomended by the owner himself. Te Show style table cooking is also wort seeing and eating, but my husband and I particularly like this place for their reliably fresh and delisious Sushi. I have and will continue o reccomend this place to family and friends.
Amusing – It's fun, but I dont think I'd go back on my bill. As far as pronunciation, fewer people pronounce the name of the road correctly. Tanque Verde: This should be pronounced: Tahn Kay Vuhr Deh, not TANK-uh VerDEE like nearly everyone calls it. It amazes me that living in a city with such a hispanic influence, how so few people pronounce this correctly.
what? – when i moved to tucson, i heard about sakura. people said, "oh there's a good place to get sushi/japanese...its called sakura." I tried it out. WOW, it was really disgusting. I can't even begin to describe how soggy the tempura was or how fishy the fish was. ewww just recalling the meal makes me recoil. now i see the comercials with "Mr. An"...who can't even pronounce "sakura" right...and now i totally understand. also, i should've known any real japanese restaurant does not have an americanized tempan yaki grill. furthermore, mr. an, it's pronounced "saw koo lra" not "sak kew ra."

The "Fiscal Cliff" and the European Crisis: How Will These Events Impact the Average
The Problem
Fiscal cliff is the popular shorthand term used to describe the conundrum that the U.S. government will face at the end of 2012, when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are scheduled to go into effect.
Among the laws set to change at midnight on December 31, 2012, are the end of last years temporary payroll tax cuts (resulting in a 2% tax increase for workers), the end of certain tax breaks for businesses, shifts in the alternative minimum tax that would take a larger bite, the end of the tax cuts from 2001-2003, and the beginning of taxes related to President Obamas health care law. At the same time, the spending cuts agreed upon as part of the debt ceiling deal of 2011 will begin to go into effect. According to Barron's, over 1,000 government programs - including the defense budget and Medicare are in line for "deep, automatic cuts."
Simultaneously, the governments of Europe face deadlines for instituting austerity programs and complying with the terms set forth by the European Union regarding bailout efforts and fiscal stimulus plans. There are not many financial news stories covering the potential serious impact of these two events; the fiscal cliff in the USA and the deadlines for austerity programs in Europe. We have many things in common with our European neighbors regarding our respective bleak financial positions. Simply stated, all of us have sought more services from government and made more personal expenditures than we can justify given current tax receipts and current levels of our personal savings. Unchecked, these events will have serious impact on the global economy, not just our personal finances here in the USA. The most we can say about the financial media is that, collectively, they are calling for quick action long before the end of the year. I'm not sure anyone is listening so far.
One common trait the USA shares with countries of the European Union is that our respective economies have long been driven by consumer spending. There was a belief on my part at the height of the 2008 2009 financial crisis, Americans would be weaned from our traditional spending habits and be more encouraged to save. I have written many columns about the importance of personal savings to the financial well being of all of us. Unfortunately, the continuous drubbing of the various interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board (FED) to record low levels, and the initial response of sending out additional tax refund checks by the current administration was a coordinated response by government to have us spend more, not less. At the same time, the citizens of Greece, Spain, and Italy (the three countries within the European Union which are essentially bankrupt) have taken to the streets repeatedly protesting any cuts in governmental services and any increase in taxes.
When America Sneezes, the Rest of the World Catches Cold
The headline of this section was originally written to describe France during the mid 1800's, when France drove the economies of the world. Certainly, now we can expand the saying even beyond America, as the European Union also has a huge impact on the global economy. Therefore, we face the near term scenario of the two most powerful economies in the world, the USA and the European Union, coming to a screeching halt at about the same time. If all of the above stated economic potentialities come to fruition, we can expect a traumatic blow to the global economy and a most certain return to a "double-dip" recession environment here at home. There are some latent attempts in certain circles to forestall these events. Just last week a group of CEO's from America's largest companies appealed directly to the Congress asking them to take decisive action on these events. They requested an extension of the tax cuts involved, and a renewed effort to review the overall Federal budget to initiate cuts that will begin to address the deficitand eventually the debt. As these problems surface at election time, my opinion is that we do have a chance at getting the attention of the Legislature in time, but there are no guarantees.
What Do We Do About Our Personal Finances in the Meantime?
If you have followed this column, you know that I have advocated a very conservative investment approach over the last three years. I continue to maintain this stance as, in my opinion, the level of uncertainty is actually greater now than at any time in recent years.. A conservative approach to our finances includes saving as much as we possibly can each and every month; securing our jobs by every means possible, such as taking on new assignments, working unpopular shifts, and getting the most out of those who may report to us; making major purchases only as needed and only after a thorough search for the best pricing or financing terms; and by continuing to monitor our investments, favoring well established companies with strong balance sheets and who are paying dividends. Of course the advice of an investment advisor during these times gives you an added possibility for success. I find it helpful to rely on BCU Investment Advisors, as well as the ongoing information flow from investment brokers such as TD Ameritrade® who continuously provide information on the mechanics of securing different types of accounts and investments.

Explore America's favorite national park on a three-day camping trip that takes you off the beaten path to trails and sights unseen by most who venture here.

The necessary camping gear is provided for you, and the tour is fully guided.
After leaving San Francisco in your air-conditioned minivan, you will cross the Central Valley and travel through gold country into the mountains. Before reaching Yosemite you will stop for a pleasant hike in the shade of the giant sequoia trees, some of which date back over a thousand years. You will then descend to the most photographed part of Yosemite that was so revered by American photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams. After some free time in Yosemite Valley, you will head for the campsite to set up tents and have a relaxing drink (drinks not included).
On Day Two you will enjoy a full day of hiking, sightseeing and exploring Yosemite's stunningly beautiful High Country. Take a gentle stroll to May Lake, a picturesque High Sierra lake, and head onwards to Mount Hoffman (snow conditions depending) and take in the 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain landscape. At the end of the day you will head back to camp for dinner and time to unwind by the campfire.
Day Three is a free day, with the itinerary based on the interests of the group. Choose from a number of great hikes, rent a bike, or simply relax in the shade by the emerald green Merced River. In May, June and early July, you also have the option of joining a whitewater rafting trip on the Merced River (additional cost, and depending on conditions). After a full day in the great outdoors, head back to San Francisco refreshed and revitalized from your trip to Yosemite National Park.

I'd love to see a thriller that was about what "Red Lights" starts to be about, the debunking of psychics by expert paranormal investigators. For its first two acts, the movie had me in its grip. Then it comes apart. Is there a fatal compulsion that draws movies into unnecessary action scenes?
The casting could hardly be improved upon. Sigourney Weaver is Margaret Matheson, a no-nonsense scientist who has dedicated her life to exposing psychic fraud. Think of James Randi. Weaver possesses an intrinsic authority that adds weight to her words; she can sound like she knows exactly what she's talking about.
Apparently she's never met a psychic she couldn't expose, except for one. That is the well-named Simon Silver (Robert De Niro), a blind mentalist whose specialty is bending spoons with his mind alone. This man has a hypnotic power over audiences and an uncanny stage presence. And De Niro allows him to embody something more — a haunting aura of preternatural mystery.
Apparently Matheson and Silver have been on a collision course for their entire careers. Her career means nothing unless she can expose him; his means nothing unless he can defeat her investigation. Now is that a great setup, or what?
Joining Matheson in her investigations is a star-struck younger colleague, Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), and an ambitious intern named Sally Owen (Elizabeth Olsen). On the opposite team is a snaky academic named Paul Shackleton (Toby Jones), who resents Matheson's dominance in their field and believes there may be something to Silver's abilities.
In a way, there'd better be. Only un-debunked psychics and unexplained phenomena keep psychic investigators in business. Otherwise, they'd be as obsolete as the owners of talking horses.
Simon Silver does more than bend spoons, and "Red Light" does an impressive job of suggesting the drama of his theatrical appearances aided by De Niro's own charismatic stage presence. But these scenes are mostly showmanship, and I would have appreciated more detail about what he does and how he seems to do it.
The film also does a crafty job of setting its stage. It was written and directed by Rodrigo Cortes, whose "Buried" (2010) you may remember. That was the film shot entirely from the POV of a man buried in a coffin. "Red Lights" also shows a director who knows how to construct a story and build interest, but at the end, it flies apart. I wonder if there was an earlier draft. I suspect most audiences would prefer a film with an ending that plays by the same rules as the rest of the story.

Have a question about the Cressi Sub Kid's Moon Two Window Mask for Ages 3 - 7?
Fill out and submit the form below and one of our expert instructors will answer your question. Your contact e-mail will be kept private and only be used to notify you when your question has been answered.
I have two daughters, 3 and 5, and these masks fit them perfectly. They are an excellent replacement for goggles, since they cover the nose, do not fog up much at all, and have allowed for my daughters to push themselves into deep water swimming, jumping, diving, and being regular fish. I have recommended these to everybody who has young kids learning to swim.
Bought these for my two sons (7yrs & 5yrs). They seem to like them although the seem really small on thier face - I really think they are for 3-4yr olds.

A "bull run" in Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng stock index, one of last year's best performing markets in Asia, should last well into 2013 thanks to a brighter economic outlook and a rebound in mainland shares, analysts say.
Hong Kong stocks rose almost 23 percent last year in the face of fears about a "hard landing" for China's economy.
Francis Lun, managing director, Lyncean Holdings says he's upgraded his target for the Hang Seng to hit 28,000 from 26,000 this year, because of increased optimism about the outlook for the global economy following a deal by U.S. lawmakers this week to avoid a "fiscal cliff."
That's a nearly 20 percent rise from levels around 23,300 on Thursday.
(Read More: US Avoids Calamity in 'Fiscal Cliff' Drama)
"I think all the bad things that could happen have already happened like the collapse of Greece, the near collapse of Spain … there are positive signs that the U.S. economy is really improving," Lun said. "I think we'll see real improvement in the year – I think we're in the midst of a bull run," he said, referring to the Hong Kong market.
Monetary stimulus in the U.S., Europe and Japan should also flood Hong Kong stock markets with cash, according to Peter Lai, director, DBS Vickers Securities, who predicts the momentum will lead the index to test the 24,500 level in the first half of the year.
"We expect there will be wide swinging, though the trend is still going upwards as the global markets are flooded with funds owing to quantitative easing," Lai said.
The Hang Seng tied Japan's Nikkei 225 Index as the third best performing Asian stock market in 2012, behind Thailand's SET index and India's Sensex.
Jackson Wong, vice president, Tanrich Securities says that while the Hang Seng will probably hit a high point earlier this year, its performance in the second half the year is more difficult to predict.
"We are still waiting to see whether China is really recovering and how the fiscal cliff does in the U.S. and also the Europe crisis is still unknown," Wong said. "[The Hang Seng will] consolidate at a high level and then it will depend on how the data plays out."
Boost From Mainland Shares?
In contrast to last year's stellar gains on the Hang Seng, the Shanghai Composite was the worst performer of all major Asian benchmarks, ending the year with just a 3 percent gain.
But a 12 percent rally in December is leading market watchers to predict a turnaround for the Shanghai Composite this year, and analysts say this will bode well for the Hang Seng.
(Read More: Will 2013 Be the 'Break-Out' Year for China Stocks?)
"H shares – mainland shares – make up actually half or more than half of the valuation of the [Hong Kong] market, so if the A shares [Shanghai] do well – Hong Kong will do well," said Lun, who added that A shares have been a drag on the Hang Seng for the past two years.
Hong Kong listed stocks related to the urbanization theme in China and firms involved in domestic consumption, infrastructure, construction and property are likely to outperform in the first half of the year, according to Wong.
"Everything related with the urbanization theme… is going to benefit if indeed after the leadership change at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese government roles out concrete policies for China to sustain their growth," Wong said.
China embarked on a once-in-a-decade leadership transition in November. The process is expected to be completed by March, with expectations high for China's new leadership to unveil economic reforms to put the economy on a sustainable growth path.

Here is a PIC of it running ..... seems to be more "yellow" than i would expect.
Presently installed:
House is 1900 sq feet.
Yearly Outside Temps: winters are -25c to +5c for 5 months, summers are +20c to +30c for 3 months.
A/C is a Lennox model c18-21qc-1, ser 6390f32698, built 06/1990
Furnace is a Heil model cugi075ad01 ser l914939042, installed mar 1992, Input 75,000 Output 57,000 ( Ngas, has a pilot light and shares vent with N'Gas water heater ).
The last couple of visits for maintenance the service guy suggested replacing the ~15 year old furnace might be in order. No cracked exchanger or anything but lots of rust. I have several CO2 detectors in the house ... never a problem reported by them. The furnace & A/C unit have only needed service 3-4 times in the 10 years I have been in this house.
My understanding is that the new mid-E furnaces wont really save me much more in fuel. The high-E will, but are more expensive and will require side venting and not the shared vent I have now.
Any opinions as to whether I should replace one, or both, or neither of these units???

A new high-efficiency furnace is in the order of 25% more efficient than yours. The new a/c units could be twice as efficient, but it seems you may not use it that much. They will also use a different refrigerant. The sealed combustion furnaces are much quieter, if that is a factor. Side venting has its advantages. Guess where all of the air that goes up the flue come from? Inside of the house. Guess where the makeup air comes from - through cracks and leaks in the house. So, by using air from outside, you have less cold air to heat, and gain additional efficiency.
One of the nicest features of some of the new furnaces, is the option of a variable speed fan. This does add to the cost, but makes comfort levels better, and a/c operation more efficient, too. They start our slowly, so you don't hear it while moving the cool air in the ducts slowly until the heat exchanger gets a chance to heat up, then ramp up the speed. If it is mild, they may never get to full speed. same with the a/c. Because the air is moving over the cooling coils slowly, it pulls more humidity out of the air on each pass. You can often be much more comfortable at a higher temperature if the air is drier. My guess is that you don't run yours too much because it just gets cold and clammy unless it is fairly warm out. A variable speed fan means that on those mild, but clammy days, it will still run long enough to dry the air...a much valued feature where I live.
Will it ever pay back in energy efficiency? Probably not. But, I will say, my old system was about the same efficiency as yours, and my a/c electric bill use went down $50/month in the summer. Heating went down around $30/month. It's harder to tell, since there have been some significant rate hikes, but my bills have remained fairly constant.
I switched from a furnace to a boiler, and the new one I had installed this January was eligible for a $1100 rebate from the utility company. Don't know if any Canadian utility companies run similar promotions.

How Much Longer Can Virality Master Speak Truth To Internet Culture?
"Over the last few years viral news has been co-opted by advertisers, pranksters, political operatives and others looking to sell something. When he can, Mr. Zimmerman tries to note when a story looks fishy and might harbor some ulterior motive. But telling the truth kills virality, reducing traffic. 'Once Internet culture eats itself, will I be able to do my job?' he wonders. 'When speaking truth to Internet culture doesn't result in traffic … when that happens, I may lose my edge and I'll have to find something else to do.'"

Group encourages public to 'take a hike'9:16 am | June 14, 2013
East Tennessee and the surrounding mountains have a number of hiking trails for hiking enthusiasts or the casual hiker to take advantage of during the spring and summer.
There are also hiking organizations more than willing to introduce novice hikers to some of the region's best trails.
For instance, the Mid-Appalachian Highlands Hiking Club meets regularly to go on day hikes or short overnight hikes on the many trails that criss-cross the mountains of East Tennessee, western North Carolina and southwest Virginia.
Club President Helga Mitchell said the club organizes hikes for all experience levels throughout the region. Mitchell, who described herself as a "serious hiker," has completed many of the hikes organized by the club.
"My favorite hike is the first one I did with the club," Mitchell said. "It started on (Highway) 321 and went to Watauga Dam and back. It has been rerouted now and follows the edge of the lake. It has so many wildflowers and is a really beautiful hike."
Mitchell said that particular hike was a good option for beginners because it was a more popular hike and had people on the trail more frequently. Also, the trail has cell phone reception along the entire trip which makes hikers feel less isolated.
The hiking club usually hikes this trail on July 4. Mitchell said the club hikes along the lake and finds a good vantage spot for viewing the Fourth of July Boat Parade. Members also enjoy a picnic as part of the festivities.
The club goes on a variety of hikes throughout the year with different difficulty levels. Most of the hikes take place on the weekends. Longer hikes are held on Saturday and shorter hikes take place on Sunday. One of the longer hikes follows the Appalachian Trail along the Iron Mountain Trail to Damascus, Va.
"Our Sunday hikes start around 1:15 p.m. so people can go to church and still make it to the hike," Mitchell said. "These hikes are shorter and are closer than some of the other hikes."
Mitchell said the club volunteers to do trail maintenance and cleanup along that trail, making them one of the only hiking clubs in East Tennessee to work on trail maintenance projects. Members also undertake trail maintenance projects on Buffalo Mountain.
Mitchell offered some advice to those that are considering taking up hiking as a sport or occasional hobby.
"The first thing is to just get out there and do it," she said. "We hear a lot of time that people are thinking about it or are considering it but you'll never get started if you don't just go and do a hike. Look at the schedule and find a hike that you are comfortable with. The Sunday hikes are a good place to start because they are usually shorter."
She explained that each hike has a leader that can be contacted for any questions about the hike. Hikes are free to join and memberships are available. She said people do not have to be members of the club to join in the hikes, but that the club membership dues are used to pay for the trail maintenance projects the club carries out.
The club also holds social functions for its members, including a recent summer picnic at The Laurels Recreation Area in Carter County.
For more information or to review the hike schedule, visit the club's website at www.hiketennessee.net.
