No need to buy frozen lasagna when you have this much-loved recipe on hand.
Leftover lasagna freezes well. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again with aluminum foil. You need only unwrap and thoroughly reheat to enjoy an instant lasagna fix!
Put this recipe together lickety-split using 5 cups (40 ounces) of your favorite regular (do not use thick or extra-thick varieties) spaghetti sauce with meat instead of the first eight ingredients.
If your family likes lasagna with a milder flavor, use ground beef instead of the bulk Italian sausage.

The Island of Lost Souls. The original island of Dr. Moreau with Charles Laughton in the title role, and Bela Legosi, in a supporting role, as one of Moreau's creatures. I'd read some good stuff about this movie, and am glad I've finally seen it.
The Black Cat, again with Legosi and the always great Karloff.

Yamaha DX7
One of the most popular digital synths ever was the DX7 from Yamaha, released in 1983. It featured a whole new type of synthesis called FM (Frequency Modulation). It certainly is not analog and it is difficult to program but can result in some excellent sounds! It is difficult because it is non-analog and thus, a whole new set of parameters are available for tweaking, many of which seemed counter-intuitive and unfamiliar. And programming had to be accomplished via membrane buttons, one data slider and a small LCD screen.
Still the sounds it shipped with and that many users did manage to create were more complex and unique than anything before it. Percussive and metallic but thick as analog at times, the DX7 was known for generating unique sounds still popular to this day. The DX7 was also a truly affordable programmable synth when it was first released. Almost every keyboardist bought one at the time making the DX7 one of the best selling synths of all time! It also came with MIDI which was brand new at the time - Sequential had already released the first MIDI synth, the Prophet 600. Roland had just released the JX-3P with very basic MIDI implementation, and wouldn't get around to adding full MIDI for another year with the Juno-106, and it would be three years before Roland can counter the popularity of the DX7 with a digital synth of their own, the D-50.
The DX7 has been used by the Crystal Method, Kraftwerk, Underworld, Orbital, BT, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Tony Banks, Mike Lindup of Level 42, Jan Hammer, Roger Hodgson, Teddy Riley, Brian Eno, T Lavitz of the Dregs, Sir George Martin, Supertramp, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Daryl Hall, Steve Winwood, Scritti Politti, Babyface, Peter-John Vettese, Depeche Mode, D:Ream, Les Rhytmes Digital, Front 242, U2, A-Ha, Enya, The Cure, Astral Projection, Fluke, Kitaro, Vangelis, Elton John, James Horner, Toto, Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Chick Corea, Level 42, Queen, Yes, Michael Boddicker, Julian Lennon, Jean-Michel Jarre, Sneaker Pimps, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Greg Phillanganes, Jerry Goldsmith, Jimmy Edgar, Beastie Boys, Stabbing Westward and Herbie Hancock. Pretty impressive for just a partial listing!
Following the monaural DX7 came the stereo DX7 mkII - just as popular and much more advanced. Its unique sounds are very popular for industrial techno type music as well as ambient and electro. The TX-7 is essentially a desktop module form of the DX7 but is even harder to edit or program since it requires external editors or software. The monolithic DX1 and DX5 models which packed two DX7 synth engines into one instrument were the epitome of the DX line of synths created by Yamaha. There have also been a few budget spin-offs like the DX9, DX100, DX21 and DX27. FM synthesis has also made its way into the TX-81Z & TX-802 and software synthesizers like Native Instruments FM7.
Still the DX7 has remained the all around best and most popular DX synth due to its affordable price, professional features for studio and live performance and its excellent range of sonic possibilities and extensive programmability. In fact the reason the DX7 is always so affordable (usually under $500 second-hand) is because there are so many of them out there, still being used and traded! And they are reliable, still functioning well over 20 years later unlike older analog gear.

text: Well I am going to take a different view. I have no problem with the media or anyone describing a suspect on the loose including the color of their skin. After all the public needs to know as much about the person as possible. Once the they are no longer on the loose then I think the media should not discuss the person in custody skin color. Once the person is in custody it shouldn't (I said shouldn't) matter what color their skin is. What matters then is that they get processed through the justice system just like everyone else.

Focus on Funds
Morning Read: Japan, Portugal Boost Overseas Markets
Market check: European and Asian markets are higher, with the former boosted by the Portuguese president's decision to back the government's current coalition -- sending stocks higher and bond yields lower. Asian markets are enjoying a win at the polls for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, which now controls both houses of parliament -- albeit one that requires the continued support of coalition partners. The prices of gold and silver are jumping by 2.1% and 4%, respectively.
Fund watch: Better times for SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) ahead? Gene Epstein of Barron's makes the case for the metal to reach $1,550, or about 20% above last week's price. Epstein pins the argument on the forecast of Steve Briese, publisher of the Bullish Review of Commodity Insiders, which notes unusually high bullish sentiment in the CFTC's weekly commitment of traders report. This window onto the use of futures and options gives you an idea whether gold-mining companies and others in the industry think they need to hedge their operations against a fall in gold's price -- or are getting ready for a price increase (they're doing the latter now).
In the news: Don't miss the weekend New York Times coverage of Goldman Sachs' (GS) operations in the aluminum market. The story gives you an idea why regulators are re-examining the role banks play in the physical metal markets, an effort which could have wide-reaching effects eventually on funds with exposure to industrial metals.
In case you missed it: My colleague Dimitra DeFotis on 50 women to watch in the hedge-fund industry.

We added chocolate-hazelnut spread to banana bread batter for a moist and delicious alternative to a traditional banana loaf.
"Hazelnut spread with cocoa is an undiscovered food pleasure for so many people. Swirling it into banana bread is the perfect way to showcase its flavor. Each year when the holidays roll around, I begin baking loaves of this decadent banana bread to give to neighbors. Tucked into a cellophane bag with a festive ribbon, it's the perfect homemade gift." - Lori Lange

Heard anonymously on a certain IRC channel:

My sleep schedule has been totally skewed this week. I woke up at 10 pm today and 7 pm the day before. This is not so good, so I'll probably pull a marathon hacking session until this evening and either crash at the office or somehow make it home to my bed.
Found another roach when I woke up. This roach experience was much more positive than my last for two reasons:
The fact that I had any roaches at all is rather unfortunate, but the fact that I've only found two in the couple of months that I've been living there is pretty fortunate. And now that I know where they are coming from, I'm looking forward to being pest-free again.
I'll lick this apartment yet.
On the work front, I've been hard at work on the next generation of the Helix installer. I have now gotten through just about all of the hard parts; it downloads the mirror list, package list, and packages and installs them. Dependency handling is much smarter now, although there is a slightly noticeable performance hit. Definitely worth it.
We have some preliminary Debian packages built. We haven't forgotten you.
We just got our 5 dual-866 MHz machines with half a gig of ram and 2 18-gig scsi drives from Dell. They'll be doing all of the building for the distribution. They are incredibly fast. It's truly stunning.
Mike has been doing some great work on Achtung. He redid the zooming control and added auto-zooming support, so that the slide fits as largely as possible in the window, and resizes as you resize the window. It is very cool. It also has a drop shadow now too. Phil reports that he is very close to having text drawing using a canvas view he's writing from scratch for Havoc's text widget. He says that a few hours more and it'll do editing and a few more and it'll do drag and drop. How very exciting!
Sorry about the long and boring diary, but that's the way it is sometimes. And I shouldn't be apologizing for it, you're reading it still, so something must be keeping you around. I take it back. I'm not sorry. Bugger off.
Yesterday morning I was rather rudely awakened.
By fire engines.
In front of my apartment.
But fret not! It was one of the restaurants across the street from my apartment. I stumbled to the window and couldn't see any fire or smoke, and the patrons were impatiently standing out right in front of the restaurant, so I figured it was probably a grease fire or something and didn't bother to take any pictures.
My suspicions were confirmed when I asked what happened today. The odd thing, though, is that in the last month, both restaurants across the street have caught fire. Both have been grease fires, and one caused $800,000 in damage.
Today's lesson: Don't fuck around with grease.
Last night's movie was American Psycho. It was pretty good and definitely entertaining. It is more of a black comedy rather than a real horror film. I was rather pleasantly surprised to see how well done it was done from both a production and acting standpoint. Worth seeing, but I'm no film critic.
I still can't fall asleep, which means that I've been getting a lot of reading done, but also means that I don't wake up until early-to-mid afternoon. This sucks.
Breaking one's sleep schedule, no matter how good of an idea it seems at the time, always leads to disaster.
Okay, maybe not disaster, but it's a pain in the ass.
So there I was, hacking on the new installer and I was kicking major butt. But I was running into certain interesting bugs, and I was determined to squash them, regardless of the hour! I ended up leaving work at 6 am.
I've had insomnia for the past week or two. I got home. I lay down. I didn't fall asleep until sometime after 7 am.
I woke up at 5 pm. I showered, and went to work. I was pretty productive in those 6 hours before Nat burst into my "office" and asks if I want to go to IHOP. I accept his invitation. After, uh, breakfast, I go home and read for 3 hours. I can't fall asleep. I read for another hour. I fall asleep.
This is my life.
It's been another great month without posting to Advogato. I've decided that from now on, I'll just post first thing when I get to work. Yeah, right.
So, there was that whole GUADEC thing in Paris which was a ton of fun. I got to meet a lot of cool people that I've wanted to meet for a while now. Getting back into the states was a little less than fun...
Our office assistant, Keelyn, booked our tickets, but wouldn't give them to us because she was afraid we would lose them. Fair enough. She gave me mine when we arrived at the airport.
My heart stopped.
The tickets were for a "Harold Shaw".
I don't have any ID that says "Harold", the least of which is my passport. Funny that. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my name isn't Harold at all.
The lady at the US Airways ticket counter had no problem with my story (which concerns me a little), but the police at the Paris airport didn't care much for my story. I should note that some of the police were in camoflage gear with very large machine guns strapped over their shoulders.
Agitated, I went to the ticket counter and told the guy my story. I thought I'd have to buy another ticket, so I made Nat stand in line with me, corporate card in hand. Fortunately, though, the guy at the ticket counter hated the security people more than I, and he was able to change my name. I made it back to my homeland.
Speaking of trains, back where I grew up we had very heavily used train tracks about 100 yards or so from my house. There were two access roads which crossed the tracks, and they were really just blacktop ramps that made going over the tracks possible. We owned the roads, and until we put up a gate, one or two cars a year on average would get stuck and destroyed. The people driving them would be drunk and drive off the ramp, so that at least one of their wheels would be stuck on the rail.
When we first moved into the house, we would try frantically to get tow trucks out there to save the cars.
By the sixth year we lived in that house, we had learned our lesson. If you got your car stuck on those tracks, get whatever you want out of it as quickly as possible, because that car is dead.
And in case you were wondering (and I know you weren't) how I feel about the stuff that goes on here at Advogato, well, I'm not going to go into it. I think the Dimwit thing was all in good fun. Oh well. I couldn't really care less about the whole cert thing, although if I did, I'd probably say add another level above Master. However, people make too big of a deal about it, and as such I've stopped certing people anymore. We'll see how things play out.
Anyway, enough stalling. Look busy.
I hate Netscape Navigator. I hate Netscape Navigator. I have Netscape Navigator.
When I got to the office today, I discovered that I had only about 500 emails by my count. I can tell that this will be a fun day.
Yesterday was a busy day here at the office. The DSL was finally installed, only three months late. Our "provider" (who shall remain nameless) finally got their routing under control. The main upshot of this is that the 10 or so of us are no longer on a modem and thus I now have a telephone.
It was also Michael Zucchi's birthday, so we cut out early and headed back to the Lucky Cave for a party with some movies and beer. Lets just say that a few beers later, I had all the Americans doing jumping jacks.
My landlord claims that he never received my rent. However, my bank informs me that it was cashed on the 15th. He had better not be dicking me over.
Lastly, in honor of my email, today's soup of the day.
Why can't we edit our diaries? Anyway, like I said, I've been caffeine and get some sleep.

Banking Text Scam
Posted By News On @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Federation Bank has notified us that fraudulent texts are being sent to residents in the community saying that their debit cards have been cancelled and asking for account information. Federation Bank is not the sender of these texts, and the bank never sends texts to inform costumers of any account information. The texts are not limited to Federation Bank customers, but are being sent to anyone in the area.
Federation Bank tells us that no private information has been compromised, and the only way the senders of these texts can access your account is if you call them back and provide account information.
Federation Bank is asking people to call 1-800-383-8000 to let them know if you have given the senders of the text any information because they have ways of protecting your account. Only call this number if you have given information, not if you have received the text and not responded.
The texts come from a variety of numbers, none of which are the actual bank. The authorities have been notified, and KCII will continue to monitor this issue.

Add an extra-special condiment to your next meal: This homemade chutney filled with cranberries, pears and raisins. It's delicious on all kinds of meat, from turkey and chicken to pork, lamb or beef.
This tart chutney goes well with any cooked meat. If you'd rather prefer it on the sweeter side, increase the sugar to 1 1/2 cups.
Golden raisins come from the same grape as regular raisins. The golden version, though, is treated with sulphur dioxide, to prevent darkening, and then dried with artificial heat. The result: A plumper, moister raisin that's pale gold in color.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – A panel discussion in Corinth on Thursday on gun control and the Second Amendment drew a standing-room crowd of more than 100 people.
"Now is the time for you to get involved and support the (Second) Amendment and our right to bear arms," read the meeting invitation from the Alcorn County Republican Party, with support of the National Rifle Association.
Panelists predominantly focused on sharing information in their initial presentations, and audience questions that followed got into specific concerns.
Panelists included American history teacher Becky Whittemore, who spoke on the history of the Second Amendment; NRA certified instructor Heidi Hendrix, who talked about shooting training and shooting sports opportunities; teenage shooting sports competitor Wesley Brown Jr., on the impact of shooting sports in his life, and physician Dr. Bo Perry, a shooting enthusiast.
Additionally, public officials who completed the panel included Corinth Detective Capt. Ralph Dance and Alcorn County Sheriff Charles Rinehart.
The crowd clapped enthusiastically after comments from competitive shooter Brown. The teen gave his forceful perspective about government's "infringing on Second Amendment rights" and the need to strongly counter "any further disarmament."
Both Hendrix and Perry urged everyone interested in gun ownership to learn proper handling and how to secure any weapons in their possession.
Statements read on behalf of U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee and Sen. Roger Wicker repeated their longstanding positions opposing any legislation banning assault weapons.
Both Dance and Rinehart said that in their support of Second Amendment rights they would oppose any effort to further limit gun ownership by law-abiding citizens. Mississippi sheriffs have taken a position in line with Gov. Phil Bryant that says they will resist any effort by federal authorities to confiscate legally owned weapons of Mississippi residents.
Individuals had a number of questions about how much latitude people have who hold a concealed carry permit. The Mississippi concealed carry permit does not require any special training and limits places where a permit-holder can carry a weapon.
The Mississippi enhanced concealed carry permit requires the individual be trained by a state Department of Public Safety certified instructor. It gives greater latitude to the number of places where permit-holders may take their weapons.

The language in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) on Internet Service Provider (ISP) liability—which governs the legal liability of Internet intermediaries and platforms for communications of their users—resides in an annex in the trade agreement's Intellectual Property chapter and was one of the most contentious parts of its copyright enforcement rules. This is because the United States was pushing to export a version of the liability regime that exists under its Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which has been notoriously problematic in facilitating the censorship of online content through bogus copyright claims.
In an unusually direct attack on online privacy and free speech, the ruling regime of Kazakhstan appears to have mandated the country's telecommunications operators to intercept citizens' Internet traffic using a government-issued certificate starting on January 1, 2016. The press release announcing the new measure was published last week by Kazakhtelecom JSC, the nation's largest telecommunications company, but appears to have been taken down days later—the link above comes courtesy of the Internet Archive, which never forgets. It is unclear whether the retracted press release indicates that Kazakhstan's ruling regime has abandoned the plan in response to widespread criticism, or is simply planning to carry it out at some later date, once attention has died down.
It has been obvious for decades that copyright law is ill-matched for the opportunities and challenges created by the Internet. It's been equally obvious, however, that sensible copyright policies face huge practical barriers, in large part because few are willing to challenge the default assumption of copyright law that every time a copy is made the rightsholder's permission is required. That assumption makes no sense in the digital age, but it's hugely difficult to dislodge, especially at the international stage.
The Internet is a diverse ecosystem of private and public stakeholders. By excluding a large sector of communities—like security researchers, artists, libraries, and user rights groups—trade negotiators skewed the priorities of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) towards major tech companies and copyright industries that have a strong interest in maintaining and expanding their monopolies of digital services and content. Negotiated in secret for several years with overwhelming influence from powerful multinational corporate interests, it's no wonder that its provisions do little to nothing to protect our rights online or our autonomy over our own devices. For example, everything in the TPP that increases corporate rights and interests is binding, whereas every provision that is meant to protect the public interest is non-binding and is susceptible to get bulldozed by efforts to protect corporations.
The official release of the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) on November 5 not only confirmed our fears about how it would threaten our rights online and over our digital devices, but also kicked off a 90-day countdown to President Obama signing the deal. A few days later, the White House formally requested the International Trade Commission (ITC) to begin its study of the impacts of the TPP on the U.S.

Phiaton PS 200 Sound Isolating In-Ear Earphones with Dual Micro Transducers (Woofer andTweeter)
" Fit and finish The PS200 fits well in my ear canals, although the body is on the large side. Because of this, they constantly push against my antitragus, making it sore after a while. However, I doubt this will happen to other users. Isolation is quite good; they isolate about as well as my ER6s, despite using single-flange tips. However, the tips are quite thick, and don't squish down quite..." --12345142
Phiaton PS 210 Sound Isolating In-Ear Earphones with 4 Silicone Sizing Buds and Carry Case
" First, I want to thank Phiaton for the review sample. As a headphone brand, Phiaton is relatively new to the scene. But as a company, it has a rather long history. Phiaton was setup by Cresyn Korea in 2008 as an initiative to launch its own high end headphone line. Up to that point, Cresyn has been very successful in the headphone OEM/ODM business all over the world, yet not quite known..." --ClieOS

"Bought the active noise cancelling version of these as a daily deal on Amazon for <$20.

I don't know. This thread is less funny than I thought it would be, but actually presents some cool possibilities.
But what is MR's role going to be? Weaponsmith or costume accessorizor. There stuff is very expensive to buy to wear, but some of it (like lightsabers) you just can't help but want to wear anyway.
If a prop of C-3PO's commlink was made, don't you think it would have to be reasonably priced - like at $50 or less? I mean it gets sort of silly with The Emperor's Cane, don't you think?

St. John's music venue Club One's impending closure to make way for a Hooters restaurant will leave musicians and promoters with one less option for booking mid-sized concerts.
Earlier this week, Club One owner John Cook told The Telegram the last year has not been a good one for the business. A Hooters restaurant is expected to open in the George Street building in June.
With a capacity of 600 concertgoers, Club One has hosted a variety of touring musical acts over the years, including Joel Plaskett, Wintersleep, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, Xzibit, Matt Mays, The Sheepdogs, Sloan and The Proclaimers.
The Wreckhouse International Jazz and Blues Festival and the George Street Festival have used Club One in years past. DJs and cover bands are also known to play gigs at the downtown St. John's venue.
Local singer-songwriter Chris Kirby has performed multiple times at Club One and was surprised to hear it was closing.
"It was a great room to play in," said Kirby, who regularly performs in St. John's with his backing group The Marquee.
"It had great sound, and it had some of the best gear in town, that's for sure, and they always had the best sound guys working there, and the staff was always really great."
Brent McNamara booked shows for electronic and hip-hop acts at Club One through his company Brent Mac Events.
"It definitely sucks to see a venue like Club One go," he told The Telegram. "When you're talking mid-sized venues, there is not many options left in the city, so it's certainly tough."
In McNamara's case, he still expects to book lots of shows downtown at The Rockhouse, another mid-sized venue that does not hold quite as many people as Club One.
"The CLB is another good venue," said McNamara. "People will start to see more shows from all different types of genres at that venue."
Kirby expects touring acts that used to rely on Club One will have to consider booking multiple shows in St. John's at smaller venues like The Rockhouse in order to make trips to Newfoundland feasible.
"The theatres are definitely a little bit more to rent," he said.
"St. John's cries out for more and more concerts and current bands to come through, but the reality is that it's really expensive for them to get here, and the market is very small compared to other cities. They'd have to take a big hit in their budget to make it here. As a touring artist, I can vouch for that, because it costs so much for me to get off the island. I can only imagine how people wonder whether it's worth it to spend the money to get here."

Where I stayed
Castaways RV Park
We were soon on our way again and drove on to Willis, just north of Houston at Lake Conroe. While at the Castaways RV Park, we landed up buying another RV parks membership, in Resorts of Distinction, which we have used a lot since then.
Also, while there, I connected with another St. Margaret's classmate, Suzi Schriber Swanson. Her husband is in the oil business and we had a lovely lunch and chit-chat afternoon at their townhouse in Houston.
The morning we left the Castaways, as we were driving out of the park, we saw a RV that was completely destroyed by a fire during the night
Our next stop was at the very nice Bay View Park in Rockport, TX. They had a great semi-potluck Thanksgiving dinner that almost felt like a family gathering. The park supplied the turkey and everybody else brought a true smorgesborg of all the trimmings. All those potluck dishes covered the tops of three large tables (actually, pool tables with boards over them). What a feast!!
While there, in the RV next to us we met Bev and Wynn Jones and I went with them one afternoon, for a 'dolphin cruise' at Corpus Christi. Another Rver couple there, Renae and Norm Komayashi, were very helpful. Renae makes business cards for RVers, taking their photos, sometimes with their RVs, then prints up the cards with all of their appropriate information, etc. Norm is also very knowledgeable about computers and held a sort of class/clinic in the clubhouse.
We finally made it to Brownsville, TX and stayed at the Coast to Coast Winter Haven Park. It was one of the best parks we had been to yet but we also wanted to look around to choose where we wanted to stay for the winter. During the first week or two, we drove all over the 'Rio Grande Valley', home of the 'Winter Texans', and checked out many other parks, including the Autumn Acres park where Jan and John were
Winter Haven is a senior, age 55 and over park, with some full-time residents in various housing, like regular houses, mobile homes and RVs. Between about every other couple of streets there's lovely canals (called Resacas) and the properties next to them have decks or patios, etc.
The park has a big clubhouse and a whole list of activities for anyone to choose from, such as all kinds of card games (Terry likes bridge, pinochle, Texas Hold-em and cribbage, I like a couple of canasta games), shuffleboard, aqua-aerobics, BBQs, exercise and dance classes and so much more. There's also the Winter Texans Olympics. Terry won playing pool, golf, and bridge.
We really liked the park and met a lot of nice people. The only bad thing, was the weather. Contrary to normal, it was the coldest and wettest winter in 25 years!! Still, no snow, but generally just colder than we like. But in spite of that, we enjoyed our time there.

I received an email from a "Concerned Eagle Scout" Today.
Mr. "Concerned Eagle Scout" has concerns about justifying FOS dollars.
And I can appreciate "Concerned Eagle Scouts"concerns. His biggest issue seems to be the cost of Scouting. Well.. let me share his email with you. And yeah… I moderated it.. took out some stuff that really did not add to the argument. And my comments are embedded in his email.
Jerry –
OK CES (Concerned Eagle Scout), here is where you start in the wrong direction.
Everything in Scouting is getting expensive because things are expensive. But you do know that the Scout Shop (uniforms and supplies) are not part of your council and receive NO dollars from FOS. Salaries, benefits, and materials for running the Councils day to day operation is where the money goes.
We run a very effective program for our cub scouts and we do it all with the money we raise through popcorn. Like JC states, we have families in our pack that are experiencing financial hardship with the current economic situation. Welcome to the club.. things are tough all over. So don't support FOS.. and watch your Scouting programs go away.
How can we as scouts expect or even think of asking these families to put out more money when their having problems meeting their own financial needs. Well… how can I expect it.. I love Scouting. I can afford 42 cents a day for FOS.. heck a Scout is thrifty right. I collect cans and recycle them for FOS. You mean to tell me, you can't do that? You mentioned running of the camps and the staff that supports them; how can I or any scout leader expect a family in financial hardship to pay $300 for camp (yes it costs that much in our council to send a boy to day camp)? Again, if that is the cost of doing business in your Council.. which seems a bit steep to me.. then that is the cost of doing business. Sell more popcorn.. have a car wash, participate in the candy sales and hold a Garage sale. Thrifty. Explain to me so that I can explain to my scouts and their parents why they should give to FOS when the top officers of scouting make over 140K annually. What Council are you in? I know that there is no one in your council that makes that much. Maybe at the National level, but then again… none of your FOS money goes to National. That's almost double the annual household income for some of our scout families. Explain it to me Jerry so that I can justify it to my scouts and their parents. It's this simple. don't support it and you will have no Scouting. If your families are making 70,000 a year. Then you are doing better than most. So I would suggest you act like an Eagle Scout and remember your obligation you took to Scouting. Be Thrifty and Helpful and figure out a way to raise the funds. Families in our area make much less than what you have suggested and we keep our Council vibrant and healthy. Rather than make a bunch of excuses and whine… figure out a way that you can support Scouting. We have become very creative. Bake sales, car washes, dinners, etc. I've asked my local council for an explanation and they can't or won't give me an explanation, they just want the money. I do not think you are being intellectually honest here. Every Council brochure that I have looked at (via the internet etc) disclose where the money goes and how your dollar benefits the Council. If local councils want money to support the program and pay their paychecks, then they need to get the funds from corporations. You have heard about the FOS Community program right? They get money from your local corporations. That is what a lot of your DE's time is spent doing. Oh and about 85 cents of every dollar from FOS goes to programs.. not paychecks. Endowments, and other funds are used for paychecks. At least in our Council, I can't imagine your Council being to different. In my eyes and the eyes of other in our pack, families give enough to support scouting. I think you need to open your eyes a little wider and see the program for what it really is not as a target. I know times are tough, but that is no excuse for Scouting to suffer.
We all budget our time, energy and money. As we sit at our dinning room tables and work out our families monthly budget we cut what is not important and spend on what is. FOS is one of those items that we are not willing to cut because we see, directly, the value of our dollar.
We see that Scouting does good things… not just for my two sons, but for all the Scouts in my Troop. So I can assume that it is doing good in every unit.
I justify giving to FOS because I see the camps that we go to… in fact we camping at one of our Councils 18 fully paid properties this weekend. That can't happen without FOS.
I look beyond emotion and look at real numbers. I can understand where you are coming from… really I can, but I think if you all took the time and penciled it out.. you could easily justify to your Packs families the benefits of making contributions to FOS. I am not sure where you get your numbers and information from, my guess is it is probably from another disgruntled Scouters. But my friend, you are an Eagle Scout. Somewhere along the way people paid and you benefited from this program. Give back. That simple.
Just my thoughts….
Thanks for your thoughts. I hope that my comments do not come across as smug or unfriendly. It is a simple fact that no matter what, we need to do what we need to do to keep Scouting alive and well, if that means we give to FOS..then that is what we need to do. Call it something else…it still pays for Scouting.
Concerned Eagle Scout, I am not beating you up, I am calling you to learn more and really look at the dollars. It pencils out.. I promise you.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Brand owners debate extended producer responsibilityComments Email Print
PITTSBURGH (Oct. 9, 1 p.m. ET) — Extended producer responsibility was the topic of debate during the Sustainable Packaging Forum held Sept. 11-13 in Pittsburgh.
Michael Washburn, vice president of sustainability at Nestlé Waters, made the case for extended producer responsibility, encouraging it as a way to solve for a whole range of social, environmental and economic challenges.
Nestlé is the third largest beverage company in the United States, using 20 billion PET bottles per year for its beverages.
"We want those bottles back," he said in his Sept. 12 presentation, "Recycling Reinvented: A New Approach." "Unlike something like carpet, PET [bottles] disappears very quickly and that represents a unique challenge. When we say we want them back, that is something we cannot achieve ourselves. That is a systems function. We see it as vital to our future as a company. We think it's appropriate for us to have that as a goal. We are in our own view a sustainability leader. We have that goal but we can't get there without a lot of help."
Reminding the audience that "there still is only one little planet here for us to derive our resources from," he tossed out the statistic that the United States is landfilling $11.4 billion per year of recyclable packaging.
"It is unconscionable in a civilized society that we would waste that much material," he said. "The politics of this are very complex. Those who don't find a way to adapt will find their way forward with great difficulty. It's time that corporate America offered leadership."
Addressing the argument that EPR is expensive, he said it can be if it is structured in different ways.
"Today when we pay for recycling the money flows through a government entity, typically. What we would propose is that instead of leaving recycling as a politically driven set of choices, that we try to make a shift to make recycling more market-driven."
Essentially, players like Nestlé would internalize the cost of recycling into the packaging.
"It isn't taking government out of the picture," he said. "Government would set the appropriate role. But industry has proven time and again, when the playing field has been leveled, that we can build efficient programs. The idea that this has to be organized zip code by zip code is a false assumption.
Meghan Stasz, senior director of sustainability with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, was able to use her group's newly released study on EPR. The conclusions of that report included findings that a one-size-fits-all approach would not be effective.
US in the middle of the pack
Overall, the United States does OK on recycling.
"We are not Belgium, but we are also not Bulgaria," she said. "What we do well and where we're really struggling varies state to state and region to region."
Landfilling is decreasing. The United States is recycling packaging at increasing rates.
"It's not total doom and gloom," she said. "We're on the uptick, we're doing pretty well."
Solid waste represents the challenge to municipalities, which are dealing with 165 million tons of trash every year. Another conclusion was that EPR does not decrease system costs. It increases government and administrative costs.
"Just having the EPR system does not make your overall recycling system more efficient," said Stasz.
Ultimately, there needs to be a holistic approach to managing all waste, not just packaging. There are a number of policies that are not EPR that drive recycling and recovery rates. The industry has to continue sustainability leadership with a broad, holistic approach. And the industry has to coordinate efforts.
"What is the problem we're trying to solve? Is a trash tax the most efficient way to address these challenges? Are there other solutions that are less costly?" Stasz asked.
For Jim Downham, president and chief executive officer of The Packaging Association based in Toronto, the issue is the lack of harmonization.
In Canada, one federal government provides strategic direction; 13 provinces and territories created their own laws and programs; 1,000 municipalities implemented their own rules; and three provinces implemented EPR.
"This is a complex issue, way beyond what I'd ever imagined," he said during his presentation.
"The end game is pretty simple – to mitigate costs and maximize recovery."
The purpose behind the association's PAC NEXT initiative is to facilitate the convergence of ideas toward the vision of creating a world without packaging waste.
Its process is based on several principles, which include policy best practices that support harmonization.
"You've got to get harmonized with your policy," Downham said. There also has to be consumer engagement so that other interests understand what motivates the consumer to pick up a given package. PAC NEXT also is developing a sustainable packaging design guide.
In essence, the "industry needs to lead this, folks," Downham said. "Don't let government lead this. Act now, don't get legislated."
EPR and other issues will be addressed during Plastics News' Sustainable Plastics Packaging conference, being held Dec. 3-5 in Atlanta. For program information and the current list of speakers, visit www.plasticsnews.com/spp2012.

University leaders and policymakers from around the world will meet at the Princeton-Fung Global Forum next month to discuss "The Future of Higher Education." The conference will be held from April 9-11 in Paris. In this video, Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber and colleagues Cecilia Rouse, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and Gideon Rosen, chair of the Council of the Humanities, preview some of the issues that will be discussed. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
Higher education
today is probably more important
than it has been at any time
in the past.
But at the same
time, universities
are facing a wide
range of challenges
and having to satisfy diverse
group of constituencies.
What is online
education going to mean
for colleges and universities?
How are colleges
and universities
going to deal with budget
pressures around the world?
And these issues are
arising at a time
when universities
are simultaneously
facing different
pressures but interacting
around the world more than
they ever have before.
GIDEON ROSEN: One of the
great opportunities presented
by the forum is not
so much to assess
the state of online courses
and higher education,
but to get a clearer view
of what sorts of questions
we want to ask.
The most interesting thing
about the online revolution
in education-- if that's
what it's going to be--
is that we don't know
what kind of threat
or what kind of
opportunity it presents.
CECILIA ROUSE: It can
certainly help increase access.
That we understand.
Can we maintain quality
at the same time,
I think is an open question.
And I think whether
it really helps
to slow the increases in cost,
is an open question as well.
I think Princeton
can certainly play
a very important role
in that endeavor.
GIDEON ROSEN: It is
now possible for us
to see not only how we teach,
but how our colleagues teach.
And how our colleagues in other
very different universities
in the United States teach, how
our colleagues around the world
And for them to see
how we do what we do.
CECILIA ROUSE: This issue of
how do we maintain and possibly
improve access while
maintaining and improving
quality and keeping
it affordable
is the challenge for higher
education of our time.
The commitment to higher
education-- the fact that
when an individual attends a
post-secondary institution--
not only is the benefit
to that individual,
but all of us in society
benefit from having
more highly educated
individuals and workers.
And therefore, we need
to also be subsidizing
and to help our students go
through those institutions.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: I'm
very grateful to William Fung
for enabling Princeton to host
the Fung Global Forum this year
and annually.
Each year, the forum
addresses an issue
of major significance-- not
only to academics, but also
to policy makers in the world.
I think this year's
event in Paris
will be a terrific
opportunity to bring together
a wide variety of people on an
issue of critical importance.

The hike up the main Mt Whitney trail is one amazing vista after another. This view, just 30 feet off the trail, is presented to the hiker just before reaching Trail Camp, 12,000 feet in elevation. You cross a stream, climb a slope, come around a corner, and here is your first and best view of Consultation Lake. On the...

Jefferson County Open Space will hold a public meeting to unveil its plans for the off-leash dog-walking area in Elk Meadow Park.
The meeting will be from 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. March 14 at the Buchanan Recreation Center, 32003 Ellingwood Trail.
Open Space officials started making changes to the dog park in September 2009 because dogs using numerous unofficial trails were wandering onto private property.
The only way to get America out its economic morass, says Gary Hart, former U.S. senator from Colorado, is not by eliminating the deficit but by doing what America does best.
"The one thing in which America still has the lead is innovation. I'm talking about dramatic breakthroughs in non-carbon energy, things like fusion and rail transportation. We can do new, bold and better things that will create jobs and raise revenue," Hart says.
The combination of dream snow conditions in the high country plus warm weather in the foothills took a toll on the expected revenues from the skating season at Evergreen Lake compared to last year.
Lake House revenue from January alone was $40,000 behind park district budget projections. Offsetting the shortfall, however, was the successful inaugural pond-hockey tournament, which gave the bottom line a $17,000 boost compared to last year, when there was no hockey tourney.
The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce's annual 2010 Honoree Celebration was twice as big as last year, thanks to the excitement generated by the prospect of witnessing the presentation of two new awards.
In addition to the traditional annual awards for nonprofit, ambassador and volunteer of the year, the chamber gave a special award to Kristina Halstead, 18, youth of the year. Emily Lenich, owner of Particulars Planning, received a new award for young professional of the year.
The company hired to compile a new park district master plan will be holding four focus groups with community members on the following days in the first week of March:
• Wednesday, March 2, at the Buchanan Park Rec Center from noon to 2 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
• Thursday, March 3, at the Wulf Recreation Center from 8 to 10 a.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Congregation Beth Evergreen's third-grade basketball team participated in the Hoops for Haiti fund-raiser that raised $3,600.
The team won a tournament game during the religious-school fund-raiser that included 43 students, parents and friends on the courts at the Wulf Recreation Center.
The $3,600 will be used for medical supplies that, thanks to pharmaceutical companies selling items at cost, equates to $150,000 in supplies and equipment.
A basketball game on March 6 at Evergreen High School may be the highlight of the basketball season, pitting the locally known High Flyin' Hoopsters against the well-rehearsed, international Harlem Ambassadors.
"It's called a basketball show, and I think that pretty much says it all," said Kris Grimshaw, event and communications manager for the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, which is sponsoring the event. "It's a really fun event, designed to make you laugh and have a good time, not to necessarily watch a basketball game."
A new name and a short move are in the works for Caffe di Lucca.
The coffee shop, which bills itself as the "Cheers" of Evergreen, will soon be called EverBean, and in April it will move three doors down to the eastern end of the Lakepoint Center.
It's time for some changes for the coffee shop, according to owner Cheryl Pankonien, who with her husband, Alan, bought the shop in September 2010. The Pankoniens want to make the shop their own.
The strains of Broadway musical show tunes are once again filling the halls of Evergreen Middle School.
This time it's "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Sunrise, Sunset," as 60 students prepare to perform "Fiddler on the Roof" at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 24 and 25 in the school cafeteria.
"This is one of my favorite shows," said director and instrumental music teacher Missy Calkin. "I performed in this show when I was in high school."

2-in-1 Low Profile Heater
Description & Highlights
Honeywell 2-in-1 Low Profile Heater - Quick Heat™ and Convection Heating
Keep your room warm during those cold winter months with the Honeywell 2-in-1 Low Profile Heater (HZ617). Perfect for any area of the home, this heater offers two (2) different ways to keep your home warm: through either natural convection heating or fan-forced QuickHeat. The natural convection heating provides a silent, steady heat to maintain room temperature, while the fan-forced QuickHeat produces a quick blast of warm air for heating the room quicker. The flame resistant plastic also keeps the unit from breaking or burning, protecting it from outside forces that can harm it.
The built-in adjustable thermostat allows you to control and maintain a temperature that you would prefer to help give you a heat that you would feel comfortable in whenever you're home. Several safety features are included with the heater: the overheat protection prevents the heater from internally breaking, which could cost you quite a bit of money for maintenance. The grounded plug and heavy-duty power cord allow this heater to stay safe when plugged in and prevents the heating unit from shorting. Perfect for any home that needs a viable heating source, this unit has two features in one that will help you with any amount of warmth.
Two-in-One Heating:With both natural convection heating and QuickHeat, this heater has just the right amount of power for any situation
Dual Control Dials:Select the fan setting with one dial and choose your desired temperature with the other
Safety Features:Made of flame retardant plastic, you can be confident that this heater is safe to use in your home, and SafeGuard warns you if the grille is too hot

Do you think he would fit in our defense well guys an animal
I would like to have him on our roster, but he is looking for a big payday and I do not think he will be getting that from us IMO.
come on down!
CK seems to like him....along with his brother at Utah. It depends on whether we go after Jennings and/or Wallace....I think we have to focus on offense first.
Lots of pass rushers available in the draft. I really like Kruger though. He's a monster.
Kruger would be a nice addition. I think it makes sense to spend money on a proven pass rusher. I'm on board with him or Cliff Avril.

Family: Canidae, Dogs view all from this family
Description A very small, large-eared, leggy fox. Pale tan to yellowish-buff above, turning grayish in winter; whitish below. Tail black-tipped. Feet light-colored. Ears large, triangular, set close together. Dark marks below eye. Ht 9-12" (23-30 cm); L 2431" (6080 cm); T 911 3/4" (2330 cm); E 3 1/83 1/4" (7.98.4 cm); Wt 3 1/8-5 lb (1.42.3 kg).
Endangered Status The San Joaquin Kit Fox, a subspecies of the Kit Fox, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. Before the 1800s, the grasslands of California were second in size only to the Great Plains. Today only 1 percent of the state's native grasslands remains. The San Joaquin Kit Fox is a grassland and scrubland inhabitant and has suffered from the modification of these habitats. Industry, development, and various types of agriculture (in the forms of row crops, orchards, vineyards, and livestock forage) have taken over many of these lands. Suitable remaining habitats are fragmented, meaning the foxes occur in small and isolated populations. These small numbers make the everyday dangers of life in the modern-day wild -- predators, starvation, flooding or drought, poaching, automobiles -- even more significant than they are in a healthy and widespread population.
Habitat Scrub, grasslands, brushlands, dry meadows.
Range San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills, California.

Family: Mustelidae, Weasels view all from this family
Description Body dark brown; head and back of neck yellowish or grayish. Old males may have white heads. Fairly short tail, thick at base, gradually tapering. Feet webbed; hindfeet flipper-like. Male somewhat larger than female. Southern subspecies smaller than more northerly populations. Averages: L 48" (117 cm); T 12" (29 cm); Wt 4565 lb (20-30 kg).
Endangered Status The Southern Sea Otter, a subspecies of the Sea Otter, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in California. Once an abundant species, the Sea Otter was so heavily hunted for its highly prized pelt that by 1911, when an international treaty forbade its massacre, it had nearly become extinct. The animal was not seen in California for many years, but in the spring of 1938, a herd appeared in the sea south of Carmel. Today the population there is perhaps 2,000. The southeast Alaska-Washington population seems to be holding steady, with the exception of the region where the Exxon Valdez oil spill wiped out thousands. The very large herds found in the Aleutian Islands have lost some 70 percent of their numbers in recent years, and the Aleutian population is now a candidate species for endangered status. Killer Whales are believed to be the culprits, feeding on Sea Otters because their traditional prey species, the Northern Sea Lion, has become rarer. There is an ongoing controversy between fishermen and conservationists concerning the Southern Sea Otter. Conservationists want to keep the animal on the Endangered Species List to ensure its protection, but fishermen want to control the Sea Otter in order to limit damage to abalone populations.
Habitat Kelp beds and rocky shallows within a mile (1.5 km) of shore, especially places with abundant shellfish.
Range Pacific Ocean off California, mainly Monterey Bay to Big Sur.

Knowing how many times actual results conflict with a judges preconceived idea of how a test will work, and the rule books use of words such as arbitrary and hypothetical, I think there is latitude to change your mind on what you originally thought were the boundaries of the AOF. That said I think whatever boundary you decide on should be consistent for all dogs.
I guess the point of my OP was, should we judge a Flyer with it's attendant unfairness and widely varying AOFs differently then we would the much more consistent dead bird throws? I noted on the other thread what a mentor of mine told me a long time ago, he has run dogs since the seventies, judged a lot including at least one National, unless the dog is just flat lost on the flyer with a stupid out of the area hunt, he doesn't even draw the flyer line on his sheet. If we were judging in Canada, no flyers, it would be easier to stick to the rulebook that says the go bird's AOF should be considered to be smaller than memory birds.

It's Showtime in Final Talks with US Television Network
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's Showtime continues to march on forward, and they do so in blinding speed so far in 2011. From having to cancel their Amsterdam ArenA show scheduled in May, to all of a sudden booking show after show in a vast array of countries, signing a TV deal with the Fight Network in Canada and booking some of the best fighters in the world it feels like It's Showtime is unstoppable. The latest bit of news was dropped by It's Showtime's head, Simon Rutz on his Facebook profile earlier today.
|We are in the last stadium to sign a contract with a big tv station in the USA. Soon more information about this! Meaby our first event on May 14 th is already on tv in the USA!
So it looks like they are in the final talks of securing a US television deal. LiverKick.com has spoken at length with Rutz and It's Showtime employees over the past few months about possibly bringing It's Showtime to the United States and helping expand their fan base. We even ran a contest a few months ago where we gave away It's Showtime merchandise to fans to help spread the word.
The May 14th event featuring Badr Hari probably has the widest appeal for It's Showtime, as Badr Hari is an internationally established name, one of the biggest names in the world. Showcasing Hari in the United States would be a great move for them.

2012 NEESR Proposal Request & ONE-STOP SHOP
Due Date: November 2, 2011
This solicitation especially seeks ground-breaking, transformative basic research, requiring the use of NEES equipment sites and/or data curated and archived in the NEES Project Warehouse, which will produce fundamentally new approaches to earthquake loss reduction and experimental simulation, i.e., rethinking the "science" of earthquake engineering from basic concepts of materials and design to complete systems to multi-hazard approaches to sustainable mitigation.
It is not expected that all research awarded under this solicitation will directly result in immediate technology transfer or code applications, but rather may provide the basis of fundamental knowledge for future investigations that could eventually transform hazard mitigation or experimental simulation nationally and globally. Research that will make significant reuse of data in the NEES Project Warehouse must lead to new fundamental knowledge for earthquake hazard mitigation.
Potential Research Topics:
- NEHRP Strategic Priorities
- Simulation Development
- Payload Projects
- International Collaboration Research Topics
Proposals may utilize, in conjunction with the NEES experimental facilities, other major facilities, instrumentation, and observatories; especially encouraged are use with the following facilities:
- Earth Science (EarthScope)/Earthquake Engineering (NEES) Research Opportunities: EarthScope is an Earth science program to explore the four-dimensional structure of the North America continent. The NEES and EarthScope facilities provide complementary capabilities to extend the continuum and interface of knowledge, innovation, and technology in earth sciences and earthquake engineering.
- Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS): ANSS is maintained and operated by the U. S. Geological Survey. The NEES experimental equipment provides unique capabilities for research on ANSS-instrumented sites and structures.
- NEES/E-Defense Earthquake Engineering Research Collaboration The 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Shake Table Facility, known as E-Defense, built by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), opened for research in 2005.
