NEW YORK (AP) -- A senior al-Qaida leader and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden has pleaded not guilty to plotting against Americans in his role as the terror network's spokesman.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith entered the plea through a lawyer to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans in federal court in New York on Friday.
Prosecutors say Abu Ghaith praised the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and warned there would be more.
Abu Ghaith was born in Kuwait. Authorities say he was captured in Jordan over the last week.
President Barack Obama's administration has sought to charge senior al-Qaida suspects in American federal courts instead of military tribunals, but Republicans in Congress don't want high-threat terror suspects brought into the United States.

Seasons 52 Introduces New Summer Menu on June 19
Seasons 52 is at it again.The dynamic team of Executive Chef and senior Culinary Director Clifford Pleau and Master Sommelier George Miliotes have joined forces for an unforgettable Summer menu dining experience. Nothing on the menu at Seasons 52 is more than 475 calories… that includes BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Chilled Lobster and Shrimp Spring Rolls, and even the Blueberry New York-style Cheesecake. Chef Pleau and his team accomplish this taste-bud tantalizing #SOBikini menu through the freshest ingredients surrounded by the seasons, hence their name, Seasons 52 which celebrates the year's four seasons, 52 weeks of the year. In Southern California, dine at Seasons 52 at South Coast Plaza. Out of so Cal? Visit Seasons52.com for locations around the USA.
Here is what's new for Summer at Seasons 52 South Coast Plaza and around the country:
*Watermelon Refresher Cocktail ~ as refreshing as its name, kick off your evening with this light and sexy cocktail featuring the very sexy Enrique Iglesias' light rum
*BBQ Chicken Flatbread ~ glazed BBQ chicken, balsamic onions, sliced scallions, and melted Parmesan cheese sit atop a perfectly thin, crisp crust that is baked in a cast-iron skillet in a 650* oven to achieve that crispy to-die-for crunch. The housemade BBQ sauce by Chef Pleau really sets this flatbread apart from other restaurant-style BBQ chicken pizzas.
*Artichoke and Goat Cheese Flatbread ~ fresh leaf spinach, balsamic onion, and roasted peppers. A menu favorite during all four seasons at Seasons 52
Master Sommelier George Miliotes wine pairing~ Avekeda Vinho Verde, Portugal '10 and '11 a slight effervesence, crisp finish for crisp flatbread
*Chilled Lobster and Shrimp Spring Roll ~ cool and smooth, good health oozes from this specially made spring roll served with sauce trio of: cool salsa verde made with fresh tomatillos, aromatic lemongrass, and spicy, sweet-hot red chili
Master Sommelier George Miliotes wine pairing ~ Hirsch #1 Gruner Veltiliner, Kamptal '09 '10
*Organic Arugula Salad~ served with a wedge of MS George Miliotes favorite fresh watermelon, arugula greens are accented by shredded jicama, grilled golden beets, goat cheese, and toasted pistachios. One of my personal favorites on the new menu, this salad is as pleasing to the #SOBikini palate as it is to the eye.
*Summer Vegetarian Tasting ~ this vegetarian sampler platter is so "meaty" even non-vegetarians will be placing their orders. Featuring "grains of life" quinoa (a The Bikini Chef personal favorite), farro, and soft taco with black beans, roasted peppers, mushroom medley stuffed chili relleno, grilled vegetables, spiced cedar plank roasted tofu, and mango chutney
Master Sommelier George Miliotes wine pairing ~ Honig, Napa '11 another crisp, refreshing white wine hand-selected by MS George Miliotes
*Wild Alaskan Copper River Salmon ~ boasting a higher percentage of omega-3's than farmed salmon, Copper River salmon is only in season a few weeks of the year. Here, Chef Pleau captures the beauty of salmon by fire-grilling and serving with a delicate corn risotto, fresh asparagus, roasted pepper, and dill sauce
*Piedmontese All-Natural Bone-in Strip Steak, 11 ounces ~ tasty enough to make a vegetarian come to the dark side. Served with a red wine reduction and cremini mushroom sauce, your tastebuds will soar straight to the heart of Italy where this beef is from. Even at 11 ounces, this dish is under 475 calories. Piedmontese beef is leaner than other beef, up to about 25% leaner.
A personal note from Executive Chef and senior Culinary Director, Cliff Pleau: "We are extremely excited to introduce our guests to the Piedmontese All-Natural Bone-In Strip Steak on our summer menu. A unique offering for steak lovers to enjoy, Piedmontese beef is tender, flavorful and lean," shares Chef. "Named after a breed of cattle originally found in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, Seasons 52's Piedmontese beef is range-raised in Nebraska and grass-fed with an all-natural diet. Served "steakhouse style" to capture the true essence of beef."
Master Sommelier George Miliotes wine pairing~ Markham Cellar 1879, Napa '10 a bold but not overdone newly released red wine from established and notable Markham Cellars
*New York-style Berry Mini Cheesecake Indulgence ~ cheesecake, fresh blueberries, raspberry sauce and graham cracker crumbs Seasons 52 mini indulgence' don't dissapoint. My personal favorite, Key Lime, is available all four seasons as are the Peanut Butter, Pecan Pie, and Lemon.
Master Sommelier George Miliotes wine pairing ~ Jam Jar Moscato 2011 Master Sommelier George Miliotes has added this incredible new wine to his "Drink These Before They Become Famous" list. Jam Jar Moscato 2011 Western Cape-South Africa joins Miliotes' handpicked selection of must-try wines for the season. "Jam Jar Moscatois a refreshing and approachable wine for summer," said Miliotes. "With flavors of peach, apricot, lychees and orange blossom, it is a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity."
In addition to these Summer menu items and the Piedmontese Bone-In Strip Steak, guests will delight in other new summer menu items through mid-September, including:
*Organic Tomatoes with Warm Crusted Mozzarella– organic tomatoes and warm-crusted mozzarella, micro greens, basil, pesto vinaigrette

The whole outfit is meant to look like you just escaped your grave, and your clothes got a bit torn up and dirty. You'll have a rusted, silver look like one of those robot street performers, when you have on the top hat, jacket, and scarf. Complete the ghastly look with some pale face paint, white gloves, and anything else that can make you look like a silverish-white apparition.

Bud Light Apple Pecan Stuffing..
by Heather Rivera
posted Nov 21 2011 11:21AM
Here's a perfect Bud Light addition to the holiday meal. Give the Turkey Day meal a little BL kick!
Bud Light Apple Pecan Stuffing
-1 lb of sausage ( I used Jimmy Dean Maple flavor..whatever you like. You can also use chicken sausage. Or none at all)
- 6 slices of bacon
-1 rib of celery
-1 small onion (or none if you aren't a fan)
-3-6 garlic cloves (I used around 4)
-1/2 can of chicken broth (Save the other for left overs, if you need more moist stuffing)
-1/2 bottle of Bud Light (Save the other half if you need to more moist stuffing)
- 1 stick of butter/margarine
- Loaf of day old Sourdough bread (cut in cubes and season as you like) You can also use the pre-bagged stuffing cubes. If you go for the bread loaf you will have to bake longer, but it really is Yummy!!
- 1 -2 medium sized apples ( I used 1 1/2 of Honeycrisp apples)
- 4.5 ounce of chopped dates (you can use cranberries, raisins, dried apricots...)
-1 cup of chopped pecans ( or almonds...or whatever you favorite nut is.. or none)
-3-6 tablespoons of brown sugar
-2 teaspoons of cinnamon
-2 teaspoons of sage
-2 teaspoons of black pepper
-2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
(all seasonings to your taste.. you could add more or less)
-1 cup of apple cider ( I used the envelope applecider that you just add water)
Cook'n it up:
-Cook bacon until crispy and than drain grease. Set the baon aside for later. In a large pot, big enough for all the ingredients to fit, brown the sausage, onions, and celery ( I also put some bud light in while is was browning for a bit more kick). Drain and add 1/2 can of chicken broth and 1/2 bottle of the Bud light. Add butter/margarine and cook and stir until it's melted. Remove from heat. Stir in the stuffing cubes, apples, dates, seasonings, the bacon broken into bits and the apple cider. Mix until moist. Put the mixture in a large greased baking dish, like 13x9 inch. Cover with tin foil and bake in pre-heated 375 oven for about 30 minutes, then uncover and bake another 30. If it's not the desired crunchy/ moist ratio you like, then bake longer. I baked mine about 1 1/2 hours, but I used the fresher bread cubes. Less baking time for the pre-made/bagged stuffing cubes.
(I prepared it earlier in the day and then put it in the refrigerator for a few hours before I baked it. If you have time to do this, your stuffing will have even better flavor.)
Let it cool for a few minutes and than serve with your Turkey or whatever you are having. It's also Yummy with a touch of honey on top. Of course Ted likes his with more butter on it. :)
Great Stuffing w/ a kick for the Holidays, thanks to Bud Light! Have a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving Holiday!

American author, political activist and lecturer Helen Adams Keller (1880 - 1968), who is known as the first deaf-and-blind person to earn a BA degree, is on record as having once said: "I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.
The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."
Now, our guess is that Serengeti National Park (Senapa) management and staff think along such similar lines that they are said to have recently resolved to complement efforts by residents of surrounding areas in fighting schoolgirl pregnancies.
It is reported that in partial implementation of the drive, the park has supported the construction of dormitories to house some 300 girls in seven secondary schools in Mara Region's Bunda and Serengeti districts.
Sources say the thrust of the goodwill gesture, a manifestation of Senapa's corporate social responsibility, is on helping students in the two districts enjoy equal access to education opportunities irrespective of their sexual differences.
We understand that the park is not the first agency or institution to inject funds into the development or promotion of education or some other sector in Tanzania. Many others have similarly chipped in with financial and various other forms of support, some of the assistance coming to the tune of much more impressive amounts of money.
But anyone with even just a rough idea of the state of schools and the plight of schools across the country, particularly in far-flung areas like the two districts, will appreciate the importance and relevance of the assistance extended to the seven schools.
And those thinking that the park's intervention will have negligible impact will have to disabuse themselves of the mistaken belief as authorities at one of the schools that have benefited from the support jubilantly and proudly report that Senapa's intervention has seen the number of schoolgirl pregnancies drop from 50 to four per year on average.
But it would be neither correct not fair to attribute this highly positive and laudable development solely to the construction of the dormitories – or to belittle the part local communities have played in making the endeavour the resounding success it is. After all, we have learnt that residents of the respective areas have contributed some 30 per cent of the 647 million/- spent on the work.
Our heartfelt thanks and congratulations therefore go to the park, to the local and central government authorities, and to those ordinary citizens who were so touched by the ordeals schoolgirls in the two districts have been going through that they join hands to work the mini-miracle all are now fond of referring to as a success story in whose realisation they took part.
We hear that the next phase of the intervention will include the construction of dormitories for male students because they too are in urgent need of better accommodation.
In the Serengeti and Bunda experience we see a rekindling of the self-help spirit of years gone by. It is a wonderful experience with vital lessons.

Robert Hayles overcomes obstacles for his MN-made first feature
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Sitting somewhere in the dark was Robert Hayles, watching a comedy motion picture at St. Anthony Main Theatre. The 118-minute feature, Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game, is about longtime best friends and total opposites Richard (James Griffen, Jr.) and Marcus (DeAndre Sanders): Richard fancies himself a player with the ladies, and Marcus plays video games like a cloistered monk in prayer. "It's a crazy comedy about video games and relationships," says the movie promos. "This is the first time I've seen it on the big screen. Continue Reading →

Eco Halloween costumes
Our friends thought it was such a good idea that we're having a "Black and Orange but totally Green Halloween" party that has really taken off. At home we've had two family costume making nights that brought out everyone's creativity and enthusiasm and showed how many things you can make with stuff lying around home. Our daughter's Real Raggedy Ann costume is surprisingly cool looking and everything came from the house. My son's mummy suit? We didn't need that old sheet anyway, and had fun cutting it into strips. We'll smear on some mud and let it dry before the trick or treating and the party. He's already enjoying it more than anything we could have bought.

Poverty is a phenomenon that afflicts a large part of Tanzania in the remote villages where more than 80 percent of the population live.
Ironically, in the same areas, a section of people, lead better lives. Some of such people's incomes surpass, by far, incomes earned by thousands of those living in urban centres.
For such people, with success stories, if you dare tell them to move to a town where you may be living, they may consider you a witch or simply a lunatic considering the better lives the lead in the villages.
Normally, people living along the coastalline are not considered workaholics compared to their counterparts in the hinterland.
But small-scale farmers living in various locations in Makuyuni ward, Korogwe district, have proved the critics wrong.
Inspired by a local company - Katani Limited - a firm which came into being after former Tanzania Sisal Authority (TSA) was privatised in 1998 - the farmers responded to the company's sensitisation gesture. Accordingly the company formed a small-scale farmers unit, Sisal Smallholders and Outgrowers Scheme (SISO).
Under the scheme, in which five plantations were involved, farmers in the villages concerned as well as their peripherals, were encouraged to plant sisal which was a reliable cash crop.
By then, the government had entered into contractual agreement with Katani Limited whereby machinery, including decorticators were owned by the new company while the land belonged to the government under the management of Tanzania Sisal Board (TSB).
On recognizing and acknowledging the development of the system, the government directed that implementation of the SISO, be a shared responsibility of both parties in order to make it a sustainable venture.
"In fact, it was a deliberate effort by the company to involve the farmers so that they raised their incomes and brought about development among themselves," says Katani Limited Managing Director Salum Shamte.
Katani Limited, then decided to allocate an hectare each to willing farmers in all the five estates under SISO particularly those living in the villages surrounding the plantations. Others who benefited from the offer, were ex workers of the former parastatal (TSA) and other interested individuals.
It was then that the company found it prudent to enter into a contractual agreement with the farmers. The agreement stipulated that those allocated with the plots would engage in sisal farming for a long period. The contract provided for allocation of farming plots ranging between 6 and 200 hectares.
The first village to enjoy the offer was Mwelya in 1999. This was a pilot project, which after recording success, was stretched to the other four estates in 2003.
A part from the Usambara-Mwelya Estate, others are Hale, Magoma, Magunga and Ngombezi.
At first, only a few years after the plantations went to the hands of the farmers -Katani Limited disbursed a total of 1.2bn/- to five estates in form of loans, according to the firm's boss.
"The money was dished out specifically to enable the farmers grow sisal," says Shamte.
The firm's projection is to disburse a total of 4.8bn/-. This will enable the farmers plant and take care of a big chunk of land – as much as 4,680 hectares.
A team of journalists who visited the Usambara-Mwelya plantation, witnessed an ever-green pasture dominating both the low area and hilly part of the vast land.
The Usambara-Mwelya Plantation Chairman, Fredrick Malika, who took the team around the 1,876 hectares estate, said "We thank Katani Limited countless times. They are in fact the ones who convinced us (farmers) to venture in to sisal farming", he said.
"At first we hesitated. We said, how could we do it when we have no tractors. But eventually, we developed courage and attempted," said Malika, a retired senior government official.
"We began land clearance, then planted sisal in rows of 20 per hectare as advised by extension officers".
He said the method most of them used used was allow a farmer who wanted to plant maize to use the hectarage - :that way our crop would grow without weeds because the maize farmer would have to weed his/her crop also".
With each passing year, the farmers, presently 250 men and 56 women, increased acreage.
According to Malika, 90 percent of the whole area has mature sisal ,while 10 percent – about 100 hectares on hilly areas is awaiting planting any time.
Malika says he possesses six hectares. "When I harvest today and sell the sisal leaves to Katani Limited the company pays me 800,000/- per hectare, so I collect almost 5m/- after all cost deductions by Katani," he boasted, adding that the next round of harvesting is normally made after eight months.
"There should be no cause for worry. Sisal farming has a bright future. Look, the world market price for the crop is now at a staggering sum of 1.8/- per ton of line fibre," he told the journalists.
"If a hectare of sisal is well taken care of ,it is like somebody has put money in his bank account", added the chairman who owns 18 hectares.
Another successful farmer, Jumanne Mgaya owns 37 hectares. Mgaya harvests three hectares a month. "I do not in anyway, doubt the future of the crop. It has enhanced my economic power terribly", said Mgaya, also a retired government official.
Mgaya told the team that sisal can be grown by any farmer regardless of his or her economic status. "You only need courage and facilitation- inputs, lorries etc." he says.
"I say even the poor can own an acre or two because after planting, he other expenses can be obtained through a loan from our saving and credit cooperative society (SACCOS)".
On her part, Mariamu Musa, 57, a widow, has nine children. "My husband died in 1991. When Katani Limited allocated the single acre age to us, I cleared the land with my bare hands and planted sisal, "she says.
"The following year, I planted another hectare and the third one the next year". She says "After five years, I began to harvest the first hectare, that was in 2003 and the price of sisal leaves was only 2,000/- per metre .I harvested 50 metres from the hectare and earned 100,000/-.
"In 2007, the price went up and I earned 400,000/- from an hectare. Now it is 700,000/-.
Says Mariamu "After the end of next year, I shall start receiving earnings from the fourth, fifth and sixth hectares". "In 1991, I said, my husband has died. How shall I bring up the nine children.But God was on my side. I have educated my children .One of them is a graduate teacher in Dar es Salaam. Another has just completed Form IV. We have a comfortable house,' reveals Mariamu.
Saida Yusufu is another courageous woman farmer. She says "When the plots were distributed, my husband was still alive. But he died in 2005. He had then harvested twice".
"In 2006, I added another acreage, then yet another one in 2007. Now I have four hectares".
Saida says she has four children – one of who is blind and attending school at Korogwe Girls Secondary School. She is in Form II.
"I have no problem with educating o my children. Whenever I am short of money and the child is required to go to school, I simply go to our SACCOs and obtain a loan."
However, the plantation is faced with numerous challenges. The major one being the capacity of the present decorticator to process the crop harvested almost on daily basis.
"As you can see ,a large part of the plantation's crop is due for harvesting. The decorticator can no longer handle the volume being delivered there for processing", said Mgaya ,tipped to be the most successful farmer at Mwelya.
Mwelya-Usambara Plantation Manager, Damson Mselela said Katani Limited were similarly concerned with the challenges facing the farmers.
"Presently, the Mwelya plant is undergoing rehabilitation. It is expected that by June this year, it will be able to join the present one in processing the leaves," said Mselela.
Mselela said the present decorticator has capacity to process between 100 metres and 150 metres of sisal leaves per day – 100 metres in the morning and 50 metres during night shift.
He said the decorticator's production capacity is 120 tons per month.The association was registered in 2009, while the SACCOS was formally registered in 2006.
The Katani Limited managing director says the SISO system has been extended to other parts of the country. He mentioned them as Kishapu District in Shinyanga Region.
In Kishapu, Katani Limited ,in collaboration with Oxfam and Tanzania Sisal Board (TSB) ,have introduced sisal farming. A total of 16,500 farmers from various villages have already been indentified, according to Katani Limited boss.
"Already a total of 5000 farmers have joined the project while farmers in Meatu district are preparing their farms for sisal growing.

i just started watching too, and honestly, the art is ok. not that big of a leap from the original stuff, just different style at points i guess. intro is cool...not that has much to do with...well...anything.
but yeah, i've watched the original, and all i'm doing is watching the same stuff, but slightly altered to make it a little darker it seems like? i mean, was there a point to this creation other than to cash on the fans of the original?
Because when the first anime came out halfway through they had to finish off the story in their own way that deviated from the manga. Now that more of the manga is out they're basically redoing it but this time following the manga all the way through. Of course I'm sure it crossed their minds that they have a huge fan base and can sell tons more merch this way too

Brasstech 105B/11
Verde Green Single Handle 6-1/4" Solid Brass Water Dispenser with Trim
Item # BCI25486 | Model # 105B/11
We still have product details, accessories, replacement parts and reviews below, scroll down to see them!
Questions about Brasstech 105B/11?
Contact us for advice or more details. Our product specialists are here to help.
Will this work with a 1/2" diameter hole in the sink?A. The Brasstech 105B requires a minimum hole size of 1/2" To a maximum hole size of 1-1/2". So a 1/2" hole will work.
Is the Brasstech 105b compatible w/ the aquasana filtration system? Also does it have a ceramic valve?A. The Brasstech 105B is compatible with that system as long as it is not reverse Osmosis. Also it does have a valve stem cartridge instead on a ceramic disc.
Is this compatible with Amway E-85 water filter system?A. The Brasstech 105B should be compatible with that system. This is a cold water only tap. Please let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else. Thanks and I hope you have a great day.
The multiple finishes for this product - do they all have the black plastic trim (lever, tip, base)?A. The Brasstech 105B does come with the black trim on all finishes.
Is the stem a 3/8" fitting?A. The Brasstech 105B has a 1/2" fitting.
Is there a Brassteck-type faucet for cold water dispenser in completely white? According to your info the white one comes with black trim...ugly. I need a replacement for a completely white one.A. The 106C, 107C, 108C all come in solid white.
Is this faucet suitable for reverse osmosis water filters and what does air gap base mean ? I am repalcing a reverse osmossis faucet with a new one to match my new oli rubbed bronze kitchen faucet and this is the only thing I can find that matches, will this work with an existing water filter system?A. No the 105b is not really suited for a reverse osmosis system. I would more recommend model 106c, 107c or 107xc. With Brasstech/Newport Brass, for these to function as reverse osmosis you must order the air gap model 6-028. The 105b would work with a filter system that is not reverse osmosis.
What color matches my Kohler K-10433 brushed bronze kitchen faucet? (satin brass or satin bronze)A. The closest match would be Satin Bronze, however no two brands' finishes are going to be the same and there is not garuntee that they will match. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
What is the length of the nipple stem that goes thru the sink and what size is the thread that connects to the water supply?A. The Brasstech 105B is 2 3/16" stem and the water supply is 1/4"
What is the overall height of the Brasstech 105B?A. The overall height of the Brasstech 105B Single Handle Water Dispenser is 7-1/4" High.
will this faucet stay on if you are not holding lever down, or do you always have to be pressing it to get water?A. The Brasstech 105B is just a water dispenser so you do have to hold down the handle for a continuous flow. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
will this work with a culligan water system?A. The Culligan FCT-1 Lead-Free Replacement Faucet may work better for you.
I have a GE water filter system, will this work with thatA. The Brasstech 105B can be used with your filter.
The details say this requires a 1/2"-1 1/2" hole. Does this mean that a 1/2" hole in the sink will suffice or does it mean that we might need a hole as big as 1 1/2"? (A. The Brasstech 105B will work with a pre-existing hole up to 1.5" in diamater and as little as a .5".
Will the Brasstech 105 work with a Hydro Life filter model HL-170? We have a Everest 5th wheel by Keystone.A. The Brasstech 105B should be compatible with that filter type.
Does the handle allow for continuous flow with out being held down? If I want to fill a jug will the water flow with out holding the handle?A. Brasstech says there is no locking function, you must hold the lever down for the water to fill.

In paragraph (1), the words "Secretary of Homeland Security" are substituted for "collector of customs at any port or place of destination in the United States" because the functions of the Customs Service and of the Secretary of the Treasury relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub.

Thank you for putting this together. I have a soon-to-be four year old daughter and we are headed to the Oregon coast this summer.
Being land-locked as we are, I want to prepare her for this magical vacation. At least, I think Oregon is magical. This will help me to get her thinking about the things she will see and allow her to be creative about her thoughts.
This will help her have the words and concepts she needs to get the fullest experience she can. It will help me to talk to her about what is happening around her too.

The American Yankee Association (AYA) is the official owners group for all models of American, Grumman, Gulfstream, and American General light aircraft. AYA was initially formed in June, 1976. The original concept focused on the model AA1 "American Yankee," with owners of subsequent two- and four-place models accepted as "associate members." This was changed almost immediately to include as full members all of the two-place owners, and, in 1978, the bylaws were amended to include all of the other models built by American Aviation, Grumman American, and Gulfstream Aerospace. In 1989, these aircraft were returned to production by the American General Aircraft Company (AGAC), and remained in production until 1994. Tiger Aircraft revived the line between 2001 and 2006. In honor of the original aircraft, the Yankee, designed by Jim Bede, the name of the organization has remained "American Yankee Association." The name has a long history that is well-known by numerous publications and organizations which have dealt with us over the years.
Membership is open to all owners, pilots, and enthusiasts of the entire aircraft product line, ranging from the AA1 through the GA7. All memberships include the spouse or significant other of the primary member. Our policy on partnership-owned airplanes is that all partners not of the same household should join as individual members.

Under $30
If we told you that you could get a great costume for your next Halloween event or theme party for under thirty dollars, what would you say? Our guess is that you wouldn't say much because you'd probably be speechless. We know that the deal sounds ridiculous, but the fact is that we have an awesome collection of women's costumes for under $30 on our site. So why spend an exorbitant amount of money on an outfit that you are most likely only going to wear once or twice?
Adult Christmas Elf Apron and Hat Costume
Batgirl Women's Cape, Mask and Shirt
Adult 60s Wild Swirl Dress Costume
I love the 80's Women's Shirt Costume
Tickle Me Pink Crayola Crayon Women's Costume
Sky Blue Crayola Crayon Women's Costume
Sexy Captain America Rhinestone Tank Dress Women's Costume
Sexy Women's High Seas Honey Costume
Pint Glass Unisex Costume for Adults
Women's Mile High Captain Costume
Sexy Women's Flower Child Hippie Costume
The Smurfs Sexy Smurfette Dress Women's Costume
The facts are simple. Halloween only comes around once a year, and you don't go to that many costume or theme parties. So unless you are frequently dressing up to spice things up in the bedroom (which we are not condemning, by the way), then you have no use for the outfit until Halloween rolls around again. Sure, some expensive costumes are worth the steep price – if you need to dress up as a specific character for a certain event, or if it is a realistic outfit from a movie or television show. But for a costume or theme party, you probably don't need a ridiculously detailed wardrobe to impress anybody.
You can even get creative with this opportunity, and you can use the money that you would've spent on a more expensive item to buy several cheaper items instead. This way, you can combine several accessories to create a memorable costume – one that you can take pride in because you made it yourself. And there is no better feeling than knowing that you created something worth mentioning.

Hey guys. With our new space, we can store boxes like stacks on stacks.
I know it was a hassle for decent 18x24 boxes (100 per box roughly) for shipping, and we wanted to see if anyone would be interested in buying them through us.
They'd be $2 a box, with price breaks depending on quantities. We'd ship them fedex ground or freight, depending on how many you'd order.
We have these custom made locally, so if you don't have a hookup in your town, maybe we could work something out. We've been using these for the past 4 years and love them. Super strong, always well made.

The Saturday Skinny: Forget the weight loss ads and focus on yourself to make positive lifestyle changesBy: Don Chaddock, Managing Editor
I'm sure you've received an e-mail or seen an advertisement claiming you can lose inches and pounds with little or no effort. The old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," applies to these gimmicks seeking to take advantage of people who only want help and answers. Losing weight requires two things: effort and determination. These can't be bought in a store or on TV; you already have them, even if they are in need of a good dusting from lack of use.
I recently came across an ad claiming you can "lose weight while you sleep" and fit into the clothing you've always wanted to wear by simply forking over your hard-earned cash, rather than putting down your fork.
I've been down the road of fad diets, supplements and shakes. The problem? As soon as I stopped those extreme methods, the weight came back on with a vengeance. It took me two decades to figure out my problem was deep inside, not something "happening to me." I wasn't a victim of the weight-gain fairy, who flies around from house to house at night, waving her wand and adding five or 10 pounds on a whim. My problem was what I put in my mouth and how much I moved my body. My problem was my own attitude and behaviors. My problem was me.
Once it sank in my thick skull, the weight melted away. Over the last 12 months, I lost 96 pounds. The 10 months before that, I lost 20 pounds. Why the drastic change from one year to the next? Because I changed the one thing I could: me. I changed what I ate, how much I ate and how much I moved my body. Those first 10 months were a struggle. I frequently fell off the "chuck wagon." The critical acceptance of my problem still wasn't clicking for me. It was in October 2011 when I "got it" – I need to work for the results I want to achieve. Much like blaming my heavy weight on other factors (too busy to eat right and exercise, stress, being a parent, not enough sleep to exercise, not knowing what to buy at the store, too busy to pack lunches for work, fast food is easy and cheap, not enough money to buy healthy food), losing weight seemed impossible and I could find every excuse for not truly changing my lifestyle.
But, once I committed to moving forward and getting off my butt, that's what I did. Excuses were not an option.
Effort is important
I need to have a particular mindset when going into something. If I doubt myself or my abilities, I've already lost half the battle. Put in the effort for cooking, eating and exercise to get results.
If you don't have time to cook, try these options the next time you're at the grocery store: Lettuce for salads (try something other than iceberg, which offers no nutrients), canned cooked black beans (rinse them and use in salads or on top of brown rice), frozen cooked brown rice (perfect for quick meals or lunches), quinoa (cooks like rice, quick and easy), frozen vegetables (non-starchy, so go for cauliflower, broccoli, etc.), grapes (take home, rinse and put in a freezer bag and stow in the freezer as they make great snacks), bananas, apples, carrots, bagged kale (tear into small pieces and add to salads or throw into smoothies), bagged baby spinach (for salads or smoothies), frozen fruit (berries, strawberries, peaches, mango are all great for smoothies or take pack frozen peaches in your lunch and sprinkle with a little cinnamon for dessert), whole wheat tortillas (for sandwich wraps or burrito nights), canned tuna (only about 100 calories and 20 grams – or 36 percent – of your recommended daily allowance of protein for two servings) and low-sodium deli-style turkey (or chicken) lunch meat.
Exercise at least 30 minutes daily (can be broken into three 10-minute chunks) with at least one day each week devoted to a minimum of two hours of exercise. For me, that's Saturday (hence this column's title, "The Saturday Skinny"). You don't have to live in the gym to lose weight, but you do have to make an effort.
Cooking is easy
I'm not a chef and can't spend hours fussing over complicated dishes with a lot of components. I like easy. One way to handle easy cooking is to choose easy methods of cooking. For me, that includes roasting and grilling.
I can roast about anything in a 350-400 degree oven for 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the dish. A little olive oil, salt and pepper are my usual flavor enhancers. Depending on what you're roasting, try garlic, paprika or other spice to kick things up a notch.
But more importantly, try exploring this method with foods. Find out what you like. Make healthy choices when selecting your roasting subjects. Bacon? Not healthy. Asparagus spears are a much better choice.
My plan
Readers have been asking for a plan, so here it is. Make healthier choices. That's it in a nutshell. But if you want something more definitive, here's what works for me. I eat five to six times daily, filling up on fresh fruit and raw vegetables. I limit my lean meats to 4-6 ounces daily and try to get the rest of my protein from plant-based sources (such as black beans). Exercise as I described earlier (30 minutes daily, with one "hard-core" day each week of about 2-3 hours of exercise), but do more if you are able. Avoid alcohol, bread, sweets, ice cream, cookies, bagels, donuts and anything else you know is a poor choice. I eat three main meals daily with small snacks of fruit or yogurt between, with a bed-time snack (1-2 cups of frozen grapes). For exercise, I walk or hike and use small hand weights.
Starting out weighing 303 pounds, I've lost 116 pounds over the last 22 months. I did it through hard work, proper diet and exercise, as I've described above. If you have questions or a story to tell, feel free to contact me at the e-mail below or through Facebook.com/TheSaturdaySkinny. I know if I can lose weight, so can you.
Pumpkins are plentiful this time of year. Depending on the variety, this is a quick and easy way to prepare them for something other than a pie.
Cut in half and hollow out the seeds and strings. Then cut into strips, leaving the peel on. Place them on a cookie sheet with and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400-degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the pieces. Roast until tender with a fork and carmelized. Turn halfway through the process. Serve as a side dish or main course.

By Paul C. Barton | Tennessean Washington Bureau
August 27, 2012
WASHINGTON - Warning for Tennesseans who have given to political candidates and causes: Pleas for your money could ramp up between now and Nov. 6.
The last two months before an election are the "most intense part of the campaign for sure," said Bob Biersack, spokesman for the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group that specializes in tracking political dollars.
Already, $29.15 million has flowed from individuals in Tennessee to 2012 presidential and congressional campaigns nationwide, as well as to political parties, political action committees and outside groups such as "Super PACs," according to the center's breakdown of Federal Election Commission records.
If the state's politically active continue to open their checkbooks over the stretch run, they could top the $36.78 million in individual contributions Tennessee pumped into the federal-level campaigns of 2008, the most for the state this century.
The Center for Responsive Politics recently estimated that 2012 congressional and presidential races will cost at least $5.8 billion, setting another new record.
"Although a lot of money still remains to be raised and spent, the data already shows that we're on track to break the extraordinary, record-setting sums spent in 2008," Sheila Krumholz, director of the center, said in a statement.
Before that, Tennesseans contributed $28.85 million in 2004 and $22.04 million in 2000, both presidential election years as well. The highest amount for any midterm election this century was $35.01 million in 2006.
Nashville gives the most
Nashville continues to dominate political giving in the state, with individuals there giving $11.97 million. The Chattanooga area is a distant second at $3.9 million.
The most generous ZIP codes have been 37205 ($2.48 million) and 37215 ($2.12 million), both in Nashville, followed by 37027 ($1.47 million) in Brentwood.
This year is the first presidential election since 2010 federal court rulings drastically changed the campaign finance landscape. Their decisions opened the way for groups such as Super PACs and certain types of nonprofits to solicit unlimited amounts from individuals and corporations for use in influencing elections without giving to candidates directly.
Because contributions to the nonprofits don't have to be disclosed, there is no way of knowing how much Tennesseans may be giving to them.
Although outside groups were involved before, the 2010 rulings "opened the door wider," said Jack Pitney, an elections expert at Claremont McKenna College in California.
Also driving fundraising this year, he said, are perceptions that the policy stakes are particularly large and the outcome, especially in terms of which party will control the White House and the Senate, is genuinely uncertain.
"You add high stakes with uncertainty and you've got a formula for high interest," Pitney said.
Not surprisingly for a red state, Tennesseans give far more to Republican candidates and party organizations than Democratic ones. In fact, of the money that has gone directly to candidates, 79 percent, or $21.74 million, has gone to Republicans.
Only Mississippi residents among the 50 states have given a higher percentage of its money to GOP candidates.
"Conservatives in general are highly motivated to end the Obama presidency," said Cal Jillson, political scientist at Southern Methodist University.
Moreover, Jillson said, both sides are tapping every known method they can think of to reach potential donors, including new online techniques.
The FEC itself recently opened a new frontier in fundraising by giving campaigns permission to receive small-dollar donations through cellphone text messages, an idea championed by Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Nashville. It's designed as a way of enticing more people at the grass-roots level to become involved in politics.
Stretch run nears
Still another factor driving fundraising to new levels is that for the first time neither major party presidential candidate is taking public money, meaning there are no limits on what they can spend. Since the mid-1970s, it had been common for candidates to accept money from a special fund created by a checkoff on federal income tax returns.
While candidates and parties like to boast about grass-roots support, solicitation of the wealthy continues to loom large, especially in an era of Super PACs, groups that can put unlimited donations to use in buying political advertising supporting particular candidates.
"Super PACs now provide rich individuals with a convenient vehicle for playing a big role in politics," Pitney said.
In Tennessee, two of the biggest donors are Andrew Miller Jr. and Andrew Miller Sr. of the Nashville firm Healthmark Ventures. Between them, they have given $234,000 to candidates, parties and Super PACs.
The largest single donation made by any Tennessean for 2012 races is $95,000 that Andrew Miller Jr. gave in July to Citizens 4 Ethics in Government, a Super PAC formed in June to try to defeat Rep. Diane Black, R-Gallatin. Neither Miller responded to requests for comment.
But Biersack of the Center for Responsive Politics said the stretch run of the campaign is when a lot of smaller donors finally may join in the giving.
"It's still the period when most voters are beginning to think, 'OK, there's an election coming up. What do I think?'" he said.
