Hookers at the "Happiest Place on Earth?" Well not quite. But at a cheap motel on Harbor Boulevard? Well, that seems plausible.
Here's the story from the AP:
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Anaheim police have arrested two people they claim ran a prostitution ring out of a motel near Disneyland.
Police say an online ad led them to the Motel 6 on Disney Way, where arrests were made Monday. Authorities contend that Irina Martinez of Anaheim and Andres Terrones of Santa Ana ran a sex-for-hire operation involving several women out of the hotel rooms.
They remained jailed Thursday on suspicion of pimping, conspiracy and child endangerment.
The undercover operation involved Anaheim police and the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force.

COLUMBUS _ "The state of the union is deplorable, and I hope he says so, because we ought to do something about it," Uncle Chet said, then lowered an armful of logs into the wood box.
"He can't," I said. "If the stock market tumbled the next day, they'd say it was his fault."
"Let it tumble," he said. "What we need is an injection of truth, not a pep rally."
The wood stove was blazing this frigid afternoon, and everyone was in the living room, soaking up the heat. Buddy and his big sister, the college-bound former little miscreant, were playing Mario on the Wii. Hon was at her desk, struggling with taxes, and Uncle Chet and I were minding the fire, cooking venison stew, drinking Black & Tans.
"What is the real state of the union?" he asked as he leaned back in the recliner. "One in six workers doesn't have a job, and the Republicans, majority party in the House, resent their unemployment benefits."
"Let them eat dirt," I said.
"It's even worse for recent graduates -- nothing like it was when we were growing up. Just imagine sitting in a classroom, these days. The teacher comes along and counts students: one, two, three, four, five, you get jobs. Six, sorry, you don't. …"And then there are the under-employed; the ones who used to build houses, but now they wear paper hats and serve up French fries. And all this, while Nike comes from Asia, Carhartt comes from Mexico and EverGreen Solar, lately of Massachusetts, just announced it's firing 800 Americans and moving to China."
"That's a bad one," I agreed. "The way I look at it, it should be illegal to jump ship if you were built with public money."
"They took $58 million in American public subsidies, then dropped our flag." Uncle Chet said. "Now shouldn't that be a crime? Doesn't it amount to economic treason?"
Hon turned around from her paperwork to interject: "The question is: Would Harry Truman stand for it?"
"No way," I said.
"No way," Uncle Chet said, "because in his day, the public good mattered. But that was before the corporate brainwash from Reagan through Baby Bush that all things public -- all things we own jointly as citizens, even our tax dollars -- are bad, and only private wealth is good."
"You mean great," I said.
"You're right. Great. And so, what is the state of our wealth, the state of our money, in 2011? Is the dollar slipping against the price of groceries and gasoline?"
"'Fraid so," I said.
"Definitely," Hon said.
"Are wages and Social Security keeping up with the cost of living?"
"'Fraid not," I said.
"Sounds like the state of our money is pretty dismal," he said. "And that's before we examine our shared balance sheet. Our $12 trillion in debt, much of it owed to foreigners -- just imagine the horror if you really owed this money? But guess what? You do! And they will be coming for it."
"Maybe we should go bankrupt," I said.
"Maybe, but we could do other things first. We could lift the ceiling on the Social Security tax, preserving that fund with the stroke of a pen," he said. "Right now, rich people don't pay Social Security tax on income over $106,800 a year. It's only levied on income up to that amount."
"To make sure it doesn't miss a waitress," I said.
"So, if I make $1 billion this year, I pay only on the first $106,800. But if the cap were lifted, all my income, and that of other millionaires and billionaires would be taxed at 4.2 percent -- the same rate the waitress pays on all her income -- and Social Security would be solid for us, and for our children."
"Sounds good," said the little miscreant, eyes still on the monitor.
"I didn't know you were listening," Uncle Chet said as he turned to her.
"I wasn't," she said, "until I heard you say `for our children."'
Cooperstown bureau Reporter Tom Grace is traveling with his Uncle Chet, who he says is imaginary. Grace's column appears every other week. For more of his columns, visit www.thedailystar.com/tomgrace.

COLUMBUS _ "Well, I'm going to do it, retire tomorrow," I told Uncle Chet last Thursday, then pulled on the thick braided wire that ran up and down the chimney.
Uncle Chet advises little miscreant
COLUMBUS _ The little miscreant is off to college this month, and we had a dinner in her honor at Uncle Chet and Aunt Alice's log cabin Sunday.
Here's to everyone paying their fair share
COLUMBUS _ Buddy and I were working on the woodpile at Uncle Chet's house, stacking about 10 face cord of pungent ash, maple and cherry. The sun was beating down, and the pine needles crackled underfoot. Everything around us was tinder dry, that is, except the wood we were moving.
Easy fixes for education, drilling debate
COLUMBUS _ "I know how to resolve this fracking controversy," Uncle Chet said, then sipped his second glass of red wine.
Handicapping the 2012 race in a dust cloud
COLUMBUS _ The little miscreant was graduating from high school, going to college. We were having a party here in just four days, but we were power-sanding in the kitchen, making a dust cloud that filled the room, coating everything as it sank to the floor.

Pinus ponderosa subsp. scopulorum
Rocky Mountain yellow pine (Peattie 1950), Rocky Mountain ponderosa pine (Kral 1993).
Syn: Pinus brachyptera Engelmann 1848; P. scopulorum (Engelmann) Lemmon 1897; P. ponderosa var. scopulorum Engelmann 1880. This subspecies hybridizes with Pinus arizonica in Arizona, New Mexico, and south just into Sonora in Mexico (Kral 1993
See also the extensive discussion under Pinus ponderosa.
Trees to 24 m tall and 150 cm dbh. Twigs mostly red-brown, rarely glaucous. Leaves 2-3 per fascicle, (7-)10-17 cm × (1.2-)1.4-2 mm. Pollen cones yellow. Seed cones mostly symmetric, 5-10 cm; green when immature, apophyses of fertile scales moderately raised; umbo low pyramidal, narrowing acuminately to a stout-based prickle or short sharp spur. Seed body 3-4 mm; wing to 15 mm (Little 1980, Kral 1993).
USA: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, E Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma. New Mexico and Arizona; Mexico: N Sonora. Mostly at 1000-3000 m elevation (Kral 1993).
See Pinus ponderosa for an interactive distribution map.
Diameter 164 cm, height 41.5 m. Locality: Lee Canyon in the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada (Robert Van Pelt e-mail 2004.02.04). The tallest tree is in the San Juan Mountain of Colorado, and was measured by Bob Leverett in 2009 at 48.98 m tall and 86.6 cm dbh (Robert Van Pelt e-mail 2009.06.22). Another very large/tall tree is about 20 miles southeast of Pagosa Springs, Colorado: 43.9 m tall and 145 cm DBH in 2003 (Robert Van Pelt e-mail 2007.10.23).
A tree collected in the Wah Wah Mountains of Utah by S. Kitchen had a crossdated age of 929 years (RMTRR 2006). Also, a crossdated age of 843 years for specimen BRY4002, collected in central UT by Schulman in 1956 (Brown 1996). There is also an old but credible record of a ring count of 1,047 from a tree in southwestern Colorado (Mills 1914).
This is the most important timber pine of the Rocky Mountains (Kral 1993).
In my experience, dense and continuous stands may be seen in the Black Hills of South Dakota, so named for the dense stands of ponderosa covering their slopes. Exceptionally old and picturesque trees may be found throughout the deserts of southeast Utah, particularly on the lower slopes of the Abajo and La Sal Mountains; and at Vedauwoo in southeast Wyoming. Other noteworthy occurrences include: (a) the Malpais Lava Beds National Monument of New Mexico, where some of the oldest known trees are found and (b) the plateaus of northern Arizona and New Mexico, where ponderosa provided the forests that were used in building the Anasazi civilization 900 years ago. See also the Pinus ponderosa range map, which provides precise locations for stands I have seen and also for stands used in the haplotype study cited there.
This species is a principal host for the dwarf mistletoe Arceuthobium vaginatum subsp. cryptopodum (Hawksworth and Wiens 1996).

On Saturday, May 14, Kingdom Design Ministries took to the links to raise needed funds to help make some children's dreams come true.
Kingdom Design Ministries is a non-profit Christian organization that creates dream-room makeovers for children who have experienced serious illnesses, disabilities, abuse or life-altering accidents.
The golf tournament was a first for the organization but will not, says Missy Johnson, KDM director, be the last. Johnson said they anticipated raising around $4,400 when all the donations were counted. Area businesses and citizens made contributions to be sponsors and donated prizes.
There were a few raindrops in the forecast, but only a brief five-minute shower arrived, which did not dampen the spirits of the golfers. Breakfast and lunch was served, along with donated desserts by the men and women from Central Point Baptist Church.
To learn more about Kingdom Design Ministries, visit the website at www.kdm3.blogspot.com, or call director Missy Johnson at 865-548-5849.
Johnson offered thanks to all who worked the tournament and to all the businesses who donated money and/or prizes.

Meet Lisa, from Dicentra Studio
A while back, I got to spend the day with Jen, from Hanks in the Hood and learn all about how she makes those goregous spinning batts
of hers! Additionally, Jen was kind enough to take some time to share a
bit about herself, how she got drawn into the wonderful world of fiber,
and her inspiration. And it was awesome! I find it so amazing that so
many different people can connect with something as simple as fiber and
yarn, in such a lovely and inspiring way.
I simply love hearing these stories from everyone I meet. Which is
why I was thrilled when Jen asked if I would like to also spend time
with Lisa from Dicentra Designs! My answer was a resounding yes, the
more – the merrier! I got a chance to sit down with Lisa, an amazing
fiber artist, to chat with her about her love of all things color,
fiber, spinning and of course dyeing. In addition to dyeing her own yarn
line, Dicentra Designs, Lisa also helps Jen, from Hanks in the Hood, with the processing and dyeing of the stunning silk hankies!
And with Lisa's love for bright and vibrant colors, it's no wonder that
her color sense is a perfect match for working with Jen's fearless
color combinations. Just look at all of the amazing colors you'll find
in the silk hankies from Hanks in the Hood to see for yourself!
To hear more about Lisa's color inspiration, the process for dyeing the silk hankies, and some of Lisa's favorite ways of working with silk hankies – be sure to check out Lisa's video!

From Charm City to The Big Apple4 11 2011
This weekend, one of my closest friends is moving away. He got a new job recently (which is awesome) working for Scholastic and while he originally thought he'd be landing the new job in Boston, he was offered instead, the job in New York City. My friend is therefore moving from Baltimore to New York City. While it's pretty sad to see my friend leave Maryland, I know he's super psyched about this new change in his life.
While I'm all for Maryland and it's fantastic crab cakes and football, I have to hand it to my friend for moving to another pretty good place. So to help make my friend a little more at ease with his new life in NYC, here are my top 10 reasons for why New York is (slightly better) than Baltimore. (In no order…)
- Better pizza.
- New York has a hockey and a basketball team, while Baltimore does not.
- Better chance at seeing celebrities.
- Speaking of hockey, the Rangers has former Capitals player, Steve Eminger! (Love him.)
- Better graffiti.
- Better museums. (Sorry, Walters Art Museum. You just don't cut it.)
- More movies have taken place in NY.
- Cheesecake is the city's signature food (in addition to pizza).
- NYC has more public transportation and a subway that people actually know about and use.
- Better New Year's celebration. Times Square, for sure.
I think that just about does it. Hopefully my buddy will be able to add to this list, after living and working in the city. I'm sure he won't miss Baltimore's notorious crime scene and lack of super heros! Though New York isn't much of a place for seafood. But I know my friend is a huge fan of cheesecake so I'm sure he'll fit in just well. I'll miss you!

A Halloween Playlist31 10 2011
Today has finally come to finally celebrate the greatest holiday of the year: Halloween! It's been another fantastic Halloween Countdown here at CAPSLove and I've been saving a fantastic topic just for today: the ultimate Halloween music playlist. As everyone is aware, no party is complete without the perfect music, fitting to the mood and celebration at hand. So today I'm sharing with you some of the music off my Spooky Halloween Mix, which I concocted back in 2004. This mix of music has been tried and true throughout the years, so it is my honor to share it with you today.
- Tocata and Fugue in D Minor – Wolfgang Rubsam Bach
- Ghostbusters Theme – Ghostbusters soundtrack
- Thriller – Michael Jackson
- The Monster Mash – Bobby "Boris" Pickett
- The Purple People Eater – Sheb Wooley
- The Batty Bat – Sesame Street
- Boris The Spider – The Who
- Hall of the Mountain King – The Who
- Silas Stingy – The Who
- Black Magic Woman – Santana
- Evil Ways – Santana
- Space Intro – Steve Miller Band
- 2000 Light Years From Home – The Rolling Stones
- Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones
- Rainy Day Sun – Spinal Tap
As you can see, the mix combines the Halloween standards such as "Thriller" and "The Monster Mash" but then adds in some unexpected twists like somme of the songs from the Rolling Stones and The Who. Plus, I bet this is the only Halloween playlist you'll find with a song from Sesame Street included! Yes folks, if you really want to give your guests both a trick and a treat this Halloween, I suggest playing this mix of Halloween music. You could say the music is to die for!
Happy Halloween!

A Salute to the Great Stone Face17 10 2011
Over the weekend, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) was doing a tribute to Buster Keaton which was pretty special. Much like my surprising addiction to watching Curling in the Olympics, I found myself absolutely glued to the TV for hours, mesmerized by this amazing televised opportunity.
A pre-cursor to Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton is one of the most entertaining actors to watch of the silent films era. Known as the great "stone face," he achieved great success for not showing emotion on his face during many of the great physical stunts he performed. In addition, he was able to keep the same still-looking face for much of his acting routine. This was especially impressive because the majority of his well known work was done in the era of movies with no spoken sound.
Interestingly enough, the nickname, "Buster" suits him all too well. According to Wikipedia:
Keaton acquired the nickname "Buster" at about eighteen months of age. …Harry Houdini happened to be present one day when the young Keaton took a tumble down a long flight of stairs without injury. After the infant sat up and shook off his experience, Houdini remarked, "That was a real buster!" According to Keaton, in those days, the word "buster" was used to refer to a spill or a fall that had the potential to produce injury.
For a great example of some of Buster Keaton's fantastic stunt work, just take a look at the following clip. It's one of his best pieces of acting/physical comedy, from the silent film, "Spite Marriage" (which I happened to watch last night among many other films on TCM). I applaud Keaton just as much as I do the actress he co-stars with. Both have impeccable senses of physical comedy. And remember- Buster does the whole bit with his trademark stone face!
When I delightfully informed my family and a friend of this Buster Keaton marathon, I was surprised at the reactions I received. Both my little brother (a Charlie Chaplin fan) and my friend- someone who majored in acting in college- did not know who this famous actor was! I couldn't believe this lack of a theatrical education, people are getting, these days! I tried to relate the actor to the present. Ever seen the movie, "Benny and Joon" starring a somewhat young Johnny Depp? That's a great movie in which Depp's character plays an awkward yet charming Sam, who is something of a Keaton-impersonator and fan.
I ended up watching a good amount of Keaton's silent films last night. Some of them include One Week, Neighbors, and Three Ages, Seven Chances among others. As you can tell, I really seemed to have gotten my Buster Keaton fill yesterday. Below, I'm sharing you my favorite of the bunch, Neighbors. In this "Romeo and Juliet" type story, a couple who live in neighboring houses are in love, despite their arguing sets of parents who not only don't get along with the other neighbor, but they also disapprove of their children's romance. The film's plot goes off on numerous tangents and the overall film is pretty humorous and memorable.
Part 1:
Part 2: (The acrobats in 5:25- 6:30 are possibly my favorite part of the movie)
The movies are great, but isn't the orchestration just plain dandy as well? So hopefully, after watching the above short film, and reviewing some of Keaton's work, the public will now be a little more educated on the work of the great Buster Keaton. This magnificent actor should definitely be studied more often and it's a wonder that he is not a part of a BFA student's theatre education! Nonetheless, silent films are great, and Buster Keaton's role in the industry, is not to go unmentioned.

A Labor Day Jazz Funeral6 09 2011
For many, Labor Day signifies the end of summer, a somber day that some look to with mourn. For those who weep at the thought of the summer season coming to an end, this is a holiday that is not something to look forward to. Thankfully however, it is also a time to come together and reflect upon all the fond memories that were had over the past few months.
If you happen to be in Bethany Beach, Delaware on Labor Day (like I was), your mood might be especially depressing. That is because every year, Bethany hosts a Jazz Funeral for the "death" of summer. The Jazz Funeral is a New Orleans tradition where a parade of a jazz band marches with the coffin and plays some good old' Dixieland jazz. It usually starts off with slow, sad music, and ends with more upbeat music. The music is used to celebrate the life and sometimes the coffin is shaken so that the person can "dance" one last time. Typically, people carry umbrellas and dress festively. (It is New Orleans, after all!)
Bethany has it's own version of the Jazz Funeral however. The coffin is covered in beach things and is labeled "Summer" with whatever year it is. Yesterday I experienced my first Jazz Funeral and can say that it was pretty moving- even if it was only for a season, not a person dying. I adore the summer, so with the music and procession, I was moved. Nonetheless, it was a cool way to celebrate the past season and come together. The music was great and the atmosphere was surprisingly joyful, despite the costumes of angels, ghosts, nuns, and priests.
I will definitely have to go to another Jazz Funeral. Maybe I'll even have to somehow push for my own funeral to be in this style. I think it's pretty cool, even if I couldn't physically be there to enjoy it!

Page Make-Over25 04 2011
Well, I've been talking about before, and today I finally got around to making over the Song of the Week page. I'm glad to have finally revised the page, and it didn't take nearly as much painstaking work as I was anticipating. However, if I want to change it back, that could possibly be more work to revert it. I'm not really sure I like this new look, but it sure takes up less room, and is much more compacted. Plus, this new version ensures every link will better work, instead of leaving you with a blank video screen image, which was pretty sad. I included the year in the dates listed, too. Also, I'm not quite sure why the spacing isn't even, but I may try to fix it, since it is quite bothersome to look at. So please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Magic, Wizards, and Basketball4 02 2011
The Magic are in town today to play the Wizards. You couldn't ask for a more appropriate game. Wizards and Magic? Who will win? Wizards create magic, but wizards are only special because of their magic. So which comes first? It's like the Chicken and the Egg. And I suppose, it doesn't really matter which came first, since what is more important is who will end up in first.
This whole situation would be even better if you include Magic Johnson. What if he played for the Magic? What if he coached? It would then be Magic's Magic. How perfect would that be? Magic's Magic versus a bunch of Wizards.
Maybe this time, the Washington team will feel comfortable for once in a game in their own field of tricks. Perhaps, the Wizards will even win. Boy, would that be a fun game. Let's just hope they don't become subject to their own magic. From my background knowledge of these things, if the Magic make a joke of the Wizards, it could get pretty gruesome:

Miracles!2 12 2010
I received an email from my co-worker this morning which said the following:
Hanukkah, hockey, and reggae…CRANK THIS!
There was also a link in the email to a youtube video. I had no idea what to expect. But I was expecting it to include those three words. Three things I am fond of. So it couldn't be that bad. I clicked the link and it took me to the following video…
Upon first inspection, I noticed that it was a song by the Chasidic Jewish Reggae star, Matisyahu. I have heard a few of his songs, but I haven't found myself to really like his shtick. But this song has totally changed my opinion. Not only is the song super catchy and fun, but um hello- the video includes hockey which is a major plus for me.
And it dawned on me that both Chanukah and hockey have one thing in common: a famous miracle. For the Jewish holiday, the miracle is the reason for the eight days and nights of celebration: a small bit of oil lasted eight days and nights to light a menorah in a destroyed temple. For hockey, the miracle was dubbed, The Miracle On Ice when the U.S.A. hockey team won a medal game vs. team Russia (against pretty much all odds) in 1980 Olympics.
I find it pretty great that both my religion and one of my greatest passions share a common thread, a miracle. So not only is there this pretty fabulous link, but for it to be a miracle, is pretty amazing. Miracles in general are a great thing, but when they tie together awesome events in history, it's even better. Here's one more miracle, while I'm at it:

Texts From Last Week 128 11 2010
Hello everyone. It's another Monday and another edition of TFLW. While last week provided me with much fodder for today's post, I also have a number of other things I want to blog about today, so it looks like we're in store for a post-heavy day. I hope you're looking forward to it as much (or more?) than I am. Let's get crackin'…
"To the tune of 19th Nervous Breakdown- Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes your 19th nervous break wind! –on cutting the cheese (if you will), one too many times. Boy, am I a mature one."
"I feel like if anyone needs to ask if the Caps are playing tonight then that is a sure sign they are not a true fan. (A real fan would know that!) At least though, they're showing interest, but usually this means they are a wannabe-fan."
"It smells like fried cod in the bathroom at work. Like the fish part of fish and chips. So weird."
"I think I accidentally figured out how to tie a (men's) tie with my scarf. Weird."
"My biggest texting pet peeve is when to conclude a conversation, someone just texts the word, "ok." That just ins't necessary!"
"WTF [former Caps player and MD native] Jeff Halpern now plays on the Montreal Canadiens? Not cool."

Madison Southern and Madison Central both advanced to the finals of the 44th District Tournament with easy wins Monday at Madison Central High School.
The Lady Eagles topped Berea, 10-0, while the Lady Indians defeated Model, 9-0.
Central and Southern will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday at Madison Central in the title game.
Central uses experience, potent offense to advance past Model
On a cold October evening, the Lady Indians (16-2-1) used their experience and explosive offense to defeat Model, 9-0.
Central got two goals from junior Maryssa Stewart, who leads the team with 18 goals this season. Adrain Hall and Chandler Whitaker also had two goals for the Lady Indians. LeeAnne Ogle, Cassidy Lim and Bailey Harden also scored.
"We knew tonight was all about getting prepared, and focused for Thursday night," Central coach Chris Dunham said.
Model, which had a disappointing season, played well in the first half before becoming fatigued and succumbing to the Lady Indians' potent offense.
Head Coach Bill Kirk talked after the game about the work his team put in all season.
"We are a lot better now than we were 16 games ago and that's the important thing," he said. "We just got tired in the second half and that was the problem tonight."
Kirk also commented on his three seniors, Miriam Cahill, Haley Corn and Ashlee Thornsberry.
"They put a lot of work in and helped bring a lot of the younger players into the program. What I said to them after the game was that even though their senior year wasn't what they had hoped for it wasn't a disappointing season. I just told them thank you for all their hard work."
Dunham also liked what he saw from his youngsters, who scored six of the team's nine goals.
"I pulled up some girls from JV and they played well and it helps not only with the team's confidence but with their confidence level heading into next year," Dunham said.
With the win the Lady Indians automatically advance to the 11th Region Tournament next week

The Next Iron Chef 2011 Super Chefs simmered onward December 11 as the four remaining finalists tackled the concept of passion. While two hopefuls proved their culinary worth and advanced to the finale, Alex Guarnaschelli was eliminated following the Chairman's Challenge, and Michael Chiarello fell following the Secret Ingredient Showdown. Here's a full recap.
As the show opened, the finalists --Michael Chiarello, Elizabeth Falkner, Geoffrey Zakarian and Alex Guarnaschelli-- made their way to the Hamptons via boat. From his perch aboard a yacht, host Alton Brown welcomed them to Montauk. He revealed the theme of the week, passion, and revealed that they'd each have $500 and two hours to "forrage" for ingredients. They were then given two hours to create a three-course seafood-tasting menu at the Montauk Yacht Club for the usual judging panel plus twenty additional distinguished guests.
Chef Falkner, who won last week's Chairman's Challenge, was given an extra 15 minutes of shopping time as well as a ride to her first destination, and she took off. The others were off shortly thereafter, and each worried over having enough money to buy their goods but remained confident in their respective abilities to put passion on a plate.
Post-shopping, they re-joined Alton, who shared that two of them would get the boot by night's end, leaving just two to go head to head during the Next Iron Chef 2011 finale. When cook-time began, the chefs got to work at their outdoor stations. Chef Zakarian worked on a seabass salad, blackfish minute steak and scallop sausage sandwich, while Chef Chiarello's "passion through the ages" theme featured scallops with carrot capanada, tuna crudo and smoked fluke. Chef Guarnaschelli focused on color with her raw fluke dish, while Chef Falkner put a smoky spin on her sweet scallops.
As time ran low, the chefs stressed over finishing their menus as the guest watched from a distance. After time expired, Chef Guarnaschelli remarked that it was the "hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
After Alton explained the rules of the day to panelists Judy Joo, Michael Symon and Simon Majumdar, tasting began. Chef Guarnaschelli presented first. Dish number one, raw fluke and a strawberry cocktail, earned praise from Michael for the "crunchiness of the skin." Her smoked clam chowder with bacon was deemed too salty by Simon, but Judy disagreed. Judy did, however, call her lobster with poached eggs too rich.
Next to present was Chef Falkner with her three dishes. Michael loved her vichyssoise chowder and Simon licked his plate clean. Her second dish was less well-received, and her lobster cioppino drew praise from Michael but criticism from Simon.
Third to face the squad was Chef Zakarian, who explained that passion was all about his family. Judy appreciated his first dish, as did Michael. His blackfish minute steak was deemed "soft and succulent" by Judy, while his scallop sausage was praised for its texture, but not its plating.
Chef Chiarello finished up the critiques with his trio. Simon appreciated his tuna crudo, while his smoked fluke was praised by Michael for its "soft smokiness." His scallop, however, was called overcooked by Michael.
Following the tasting, the judges deliberated. Chefs Zakarian and Chiarello took highest praises, while Chefs Guarnaschelli and Falkner took the most criticism. Michael and Simon battled over which chef delivered the poorest results, but in the end, a decision was made. When the finalists returned for decision-time, Chef Zakarian was deemed the challenge winner and Chef Chiarello was sent to the Secret Ingredient Showdown. After a few tense moments, Alex Guarnaschelli was eliminated from the competition, leaving Chef Falkner to battle Chef Chiarello for a spot in the Next Iron Chef 2011 Super Chefs finale.
When Chefs Falkner and Chiarello joined Alton in Kitchen Stadium, both were ready to do battle in the 30-minute Secret Ingredient Showdown. When the curtain was lifted, Townhouse crackers and Entwine wine were revealed as the items of choice. They were required to create a delicious bite to top each of the three different types of cracker. Chef Chiarello got to work with cooking down his wine, while Chef Falkner planned to play on the different notes of the crackers. As time wound down, Chef Chiarello was confident that he'd win if he could get his plating completed, but Chef Falkner wasn't impressed with what he delivered.
First to present was Michael Chiarello with his goat cheese with cabernet caviar. Judy lamented not tasting the caviar more clearly, and Simon criticized the fish for a lack of flavor, but his sardine escabeche and chicken liver mousse fared better. Elizabeth Falkner followed with her shrimp and grits, which Michael appreciated and Simon praised for its perfectly cooked shrimp. Her chicken liver mousse was popular with Judy, while her lamb meatball with raita was Simon's favorite of the three.
Following the judges' deliberations, all three remaining contestants joined the panelists and Alton to learn the identity of the second finalist. Michael praised Chefs Falkner and Chiarello for presenting "six beautiful bites," but one had to go. Based on the criteria of flavor and integration of the secret ingredient, Michael Chiarello was eliminated from the competition. He said he was "disappointed" but that he'd done all he could do. Chefs Falkner and Zakarian stared one another down, ready to do battle in the finale. Chef Falkner vowed to "kill it," but Chef Zakarian said he'd take his adversary down.
Who will win The Next Iron Chef 2011 Super Chefs edition? Tune in to the Food Network on December 18 at 9 p.m. to find out if Elizabeth Falkner or Geoffrey Zakarian winds up on top.

90. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Tankeray Dec 2, 2012 2:49 PM in response to szayat
Here's what has worked for me in the past:
1) Turn the Phone off, then back on
if not that, then 2) Hard reset the phone (Hold power and home for 5 seconds)
if not that, then 3) turn the phone off, then use a cotton swab with some alcohol to clean out the dock connector or the headphone jack
if not that, then 4) Play a song. With no sound coming out, reconnect it to a speaker dock, then disconnect it again. Sometimes the last time it disconnected didn't register.
if not that, then 5) Rapidly plug and unplug the headphones about 5 times - this may unstick the headphone jack
if not that, then 6) If you get sound through headphones, plug in headphones. Start a song. Unplug the headphones
Hopefully one of those works
91. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.bitk17 Dec 4, 2012 7:53 AM in response to szayat
Ack! This just happend to me also. No sound unless I am using headphones. I was using speaker phone on a call, then called the person back and couldn't hear anything. It happened just like that! I have tried all the tips except for the hair dryer and the music came back for a split second when I was using compressed air but that's it. So frustrated!!! I am at work so I can't put it on a docking station until I go home. Not sure if I should try to go to genius bar at lunch or try the docking station at home later. I am worried apple will tell me I need a new phone and it will be $200. I just did the latest update to 6.01. Right now I am hating on apple since it looks like they are not owning up to the issue. Wish I could get that docking station screen up that someone got the other day.
92. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.VinEnvy Dec 5, 2012 8:14 AM in response to bitk17
I just had this problem pop up out of nowhere on my 4S. Went to Settings>Sounds>Lock Sounds slider. It was "ON". Switched it to "OFF" and pressed my Volume + and - keys and was controlling my volume again. Give it a try.
93. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Capway Dec 5, 2012 8:54 AM in response to bitk17
Hi, the problem is in your docking port , where you plug your charger,
This happened to me, i got a tip off the net, just clean the docking port out with an old CLEAN, DRY, toothbrush.
If dust or grit gets into a certain part of the docking port it creates a short , which makes the phone think the headphones are in.
Give it a try, im sure it will work
94. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.VinEnvy Dec 5, 2012 9:13 AM in response to Capway
i just realized how dumb what i said was. and then realized how much of a troll i look like. sorry.
95. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.lightwire Dec 6, 2012 12:51 PM in response to szayat
just open up iTunes on your phone and turn the volume all the way up. Then your videos will record with sound.
96. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Deesjoshua Dec 9, 2012 6:07 AM in response to szayat
I've had the sound problem on my iPhone 4,4S and my 5 (usually once weekly depending on use), where i don't get any sound from the phone (usually happens when i have my alarm set so i'm late getting up). So far all I've had to do to fix it is to shut down the phone holding down the top button until I get the red arrow saying to slide to the right. Nothing big deal, but this says to me "software issue" and I'm at a loss as to why apple hasn't put out a fix. Luckily I have an understanding boss, guess I better get a backup alarm clock!
97. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.suz11137 Dec 12, 2012 10:21 AM in response to szayat
I upgraded to 6 and have mimimal sound coming from my phone now. Its all the way up and it sounds like its hardley on. It is fine with headphones. I have tried all the above except restore.. weird thing is my ipad had no sound either and finally after jacking with it last night, I was able to restore the sound. but the phone this is really ticking me off! I am printing all these responces out so the apple store wont laugh at me...
98. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Tankeray Dec 12, 2012 11:27 AM in response to suz11137
You, um, may want to reword the middle sentence of your response about your iPad, if you don't want them laughing at you for a different reason...
99. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.bitk17 Dec 14, 2012 12:24 PM in response to bitk17
UPDATE: I went to the apple store and the tech told me to do a good backup and they would wipe the phone clean and if that didn't work I would get my phone replaced. Went back in the next day and a different tech said my speaker was dead and they would fix it at no charge. It took about 20 minutes and sure enough I had sound! So glad I was under my warrenty and a qualified tech actually helped me the second day. Just wish I would have had him the first day!
100. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Debbie89 Dec 15, 2012 12:19 PM in response to scf_foto
what button's did you press to get the that screen?
101. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.scf_foto Dec 15, 2012 1:45 PM in response to Debbie89
In the lock screen, double click the home button to bring up the music player and push play. Then, in the same screen, hold down the home key to activate Siri. This while give you a new set of icons in the music player one of which looks like an eject button. If you push this eject type button you'll get the dock connector screen.
The only problem is that getting this screen does nothing. Even if you push cancel there's still no sound. I'm still without sound and I've done everything everyone has suggested.
102. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.Debbie89 Dec 16, 2012 3:03 PM in response to scf_foto
Same thing here, nothing has worked for me, guess I have to go to the apple store and have them check it out. Thank you for the response.
103. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.NikhilJaiswal Dec 23, 2012 11:25 AM in response to szayat
Woh!! Holy...!! Blowing worked!! I was scared to death..Thanx u all.. For others.. Just blow into the dock & headphone connectors!! Try 4-5 times n wolah!! Good as new!! At least it worked for me, for u - Best of luck
104. Re: No sound coming from my iPhone 4s.clauderizzolo Dec 24, 2012 11:34 PM in response to szayat
I had the same problem. No sounds unless ringer tone. I plugged my hearphones and played music, unplugges and plugged again a few times and now it works without problems. I think it's something related with the hearphones jack (dust or something else).

Does my mom have the really wrong attitude toward religion?
Z Asked: Does my mom have the really wrong attitude toward religion?
OK first of all I LOVE my mom, she might be my favorite person in the world. I don't want there to be any confusion over that.
But I had a pretty big rift with her over how I was raised. My mom had me and my brothers baptized Catholic because while my dad was Lutheran not Catholic he wasn't all that religious and she knew he wouldn't raise us much in the faith. By the time I was about 12 I was entering confirmation. At this time I wasn't even sure if I believed in God and I know I didn't want to be Catholic. I had a ton of issues with the church and didn't believe in their view of communion and thus refused to take it. I had been saying that even if I did go to a church once I was an adult it certainly wouldn't be Catholic.
My mom still insisted on me finishing confirmation and taking a vow I didn't believe in. So I asked her if I could get confirmed in a different church instead. We went to a nearby Lutheran church too even though my dad rarely did, but she wanted us to have some exposure to his church. She still said no, she wanted me to be confirmed Catholic because she knew how many in her family wanted this and wanted to come see it. But she also said "But if you decide after this you want to join a different church go ahead, I won't expect you to have any level of involvement with the Catholic church after this."
Well that's what happened, I got confirmed in something I didn't believe in, I later found my way back to God but not through the Catholic church. To me my confirmation was meaningless and just a pointless ritual. It had nothing to do with my relationship with God today and marked nothing. If it had been in a different church, I might give it some meaning today. But it seems very odd to insist that someone get confirmed taking an oath to a church, and then saying after that they don't care if they leave the church. That's rather backwards. My mom doesn't seem to care about what confirmation really means.
SHE BELIEVES IN HER CHURCH and she tried to help you…dont worry God is in all Trinity churches and you can try others when older..
You are correct.Your mom has the wrong view.
I am going to tell you what christians say to atheist, pagan and other non-christian children with similar complaints: you live under her roof, you have to do what she wants to make her happy.
I don't really believe that mind you, but the situation sounds different when it's one christian pressuring another, doesn't it?
No one has the same attitude toward religion, each of us are individuals and thus we have opinions which are based on many factors.
Your mother loves you and wants you to be the best you can.You did not state your age, but believe me, when youreach 18 you may have a different opinion and understand better, but when you reach 25 years old, your opinion might change again.
I think she does have the wrong view, but don't sweat it. You didn't put yourself into a lifetime binding agreement. You are free to change your mind at any time.
Yeah I get you.You might make her rather happy to hear how seriously you take it, that's respectable.You know, just do what you feel is right cause your relationship with Christ is the most important.She'll understand.
Your mother was probably doing this more from trying to please the relatives than any real commitment to this faith.I assume she was baptized and raised Catholic?It's obvious she was/is not a strong believer in this faith, that it was more something she saw as being 'expected' of her by her family and the parish she goes/went to.
I agree she probably shouldn't have made you go through with the Confirmation.You are right in that in Your Case it was a meaningless ritual.But it isn't to many others.
Now that you have found another church you like better, just leave the past behind.It may not have done you lots of good, but it did you no harm either.
Kid we all must start somewhere I as a Catholic also with12 years of Catholic school but I left the Catholic church when I could reason on my own for it is full of half truths. Ask your mother is it okay to worship things that are not in the Bible and where in the Bible does it say that Peter was ever in Rome?
I think your mom had good intentions.
I think a lot of people who are getting children ready for their Confirmation nowadays see if the child is really commited to doing this.
Personally, I have three children—the first two did their Confirmation (maybe being confused about it at the time—I don't remember much about that).I was disappointed when my third child didn't tell me about his upcoming Confirmation and did not do it.On the one hand, it was disappointing, but on the other hand, I could understand that his beliefs didn't really "coincide" with the Sacrament of Confirmation.
So, I can understand your mother to a degree.But I can also sympathize with the fact that you don't feel you have the necessary beliefs.
All I can say is that I sincerely hope that you and my son one day realize the truth of the Catholic Faith and do receive the Sacrament of Confirmation (the gifts of the Holy Spirit)—I also wish my Confirmed children also realize the truth of the Catholic Faith one day and rejoice as I and many other practicing Catholics in the beauty of this Faith.
Your mother did the best that she understood for your salvation.
Catholics baptize infants, like many other churches.
But Confirmation should be your decision when you grow up.
Too often, kids don't get instruction, beyond childhood.
Many parents retain their childish understanding too.
So she was following the obligations she felt important.
You were not making a pledge to the Church, but to Jesus.
It's basically the same thing, wherever you make it.
The Lutheran church separated from the Catholic church.
the differences are miniscule, & may soon disappear.
<<Does my mom <snip> wouldn't be Catholic.>>
The problem doesn't appear to be your mom. The problem appears to be YOU and your overtly rebellious attitude.
<<My mom still <snip> church after this.">>
Consider yourself lucky. Most parents would continue to "force" you to worship until you were out of the house altogether.
<<Well that's what <snip> confirmation really means.>>
No. Your mom DOES care. That's why she saw to it that you were Confirmed. It's YOU who has no respect for what Confirmation means!
Sorry but it's YOU who has "a really wrong attitude toward religion".
Your mom did not handle this situation in wisdom. She was however doing the best she knew how. We must show grace in situations like this and not be too hard on people, but rather pray for them.
When you were 12 you should have told her that you didn't want to learn English, butRussian, that
it was stupid to study, you don't learn anything anyway, that you wanted freedom to do what you
want_no obligations, no idiotic responsibilities and so on.
When l was much younger, l thought along those lines.I imagined myself much more Intelligent than
my mother or father.__they didn't know a blasted thing. Obviously, l was all wrong.
Your parents do the best they can for you because they love you.Until you're independent, do what
they ask you because by doing so,it will be a retribution of their love. You may not understand it
now, but times goes by very fast, and they won't be with you forever.
As to religion, it is very rarely that it issomething you like at first.But as you grow older you will
see the importance of having God in your life and all the consolation and help He can give you.
A person without God has a meaningless life.As long as you are already a Catholic, learn more about it in a adult manner.Your mother doesn't care whether you go to one church or another
because she hopes that you'll act more like an adult and accept your confirmation as a Catholic
without the necessity of her telling you.
By the way, do you know what it means to belong to a Church founded by Christ, the church which is theCreator of western Civilization, the church that compiled the bible and has a tradition of over
2000 years. Think about it.
Your mother was wrong to force you through confirmation when you didn't believe in it. This is explicitly against Catholic teaching. In fact, had you told the priest that you didn't believe in it and you were just doing it because your mother was making you, he would have pulled you out of confirmation. Anyway, the fact that you lied during your confirmation vows means you invalidated the sacrament, and I'm fairly certain that means you really are not confirmed. You would have to check with a priest or canon lawyer to know for sure.

Money on the markets
A maturing market amid the mayhem
Sensex rises 1.3 pct, Reliance gains
The BSE Sensex ended 1.3 percent higher on Wednesday as a rally in global markets boosted investor sentiments.
After mid day, the benchmark touched an intra-day high of 9,120 – a rise of over 2 percent – but pared gains later to close at 8,976. It was the index's highest close in a month.
The rise was led by gains in heavyweight counters like Reliance Industries, ICICI and BHEL.
Buyers focused on Reliance as the country's largest listed company prepared to begin pumping gas from its huge field off the east coast and commission all secondary units at its new refinery. The scrip closed 2.4 percent higher.
There was a rally in realty stocks which sent the BSE Realty Index 7.6 percent up. Shares in Akruti City jumped 27.5 percent and DLF gained 7.7 percent.
Top traded stocks on the BSE included Vijaya Bank, Suzlon Energy, Satyam and Reliance Natural Resources.
The Sensex did show some strength today, but was unable to sustain gains in the closing hours of trade. Do you think the index will remain volatile in the coming days?
A rise of 112 points(1.3%) in Sensex is quite satisfying.Investors would prefer that rise is gradual and steady rather than sharp or mercurial.A steady movement allows them to evaluate market position on regular basis.There are lesser chances of them getting entrapped.
DIIs are a regular buyers these days.It means that they are shoring up market value of their portfolio as well as helping mutual funds get a higher NAV.
April and May could be cruel months if 4Q 2009 results are disappointing.Then ofcourse we have excitement out of IPL and India's political league.
Sensex should show mood swings every time it gets a reminder of major happenings.
Nevertheless,this week should end happily.

Nice to see the 8250 making it into the CMDA world. My wife loves her flip-phone (keys don't get pushed in her purse). I think this little baby will bring her over to the BB side (once it is available in the USA).

A camping recipe from Nigel from Botswana, Africa. This recipe is a favorite for the second or third night out in the bush. The root vegetables keep well so that they can make a very filling meal after several days camping. The best part - you can kick around the coals and tell stories while waiting for the food to cook.
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours
- 5-6 medium potatoes
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 5 large carrots
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 small turnip or rutabaga
- 1 stalk celery
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2-3 onions
- 4-6 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup vegetable stock
Wash the vegetables and cut into chunks. You can use any other hard winter vegetables that you like. Heat the potjie (cast-iron pot, size 3) over coals until a little bit warm, then add oil. When oil is hot, lightly cook onions and garlic. Arrange vegetables in layers on top of onion and garlic mixture. The ones with the longest cooking times go on the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle on the seasonings and herbs. Pour stock over the final layer. Cover the pot with its lid and simmer over campfire coals for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Leave the lid on until the cooking time is finished.

Entrelac eh? Hey, being Northern Michigan gal gives me the right to do the Canook thing once in awhile.
Anyway, I ran across this really cool blog, called Men Who Knit. These guys have got it going on! On their blog the other day, I read about this "new technique" which looked like entrelac, although he mentioned that it wasn't. He called it "Kont". I asked on his comment board to grace us with a pattern (copyrights intact of course) and I'm waiting. But, in the meantime, I want you to check this out and give me your opinions.
I love to try new techniques! For me, its all about the challenge!

The Northbrook Fire Department welcomed four new members last week. They were publically sworn in, before friends, family and the Village Board, during Tuesday night's regular meeting.
"It's an exciting day for us, we're hiring two veterans, Iraqi war veterans with Donald and Louis," said Fire Chief Mark Nolan. Donald Carpenter and Louis Popp filled two of the department's current fulltime firefighter/paramedic vacancies.
Nolan welcomed the new firefighters with a story to demonstrate Northbrook's welcoming and caring community, as he whitnessed after the 1999 death of the department's former assistant chief, Wayne Luecht.
"This board will take care of you, this fire department and this community will help take care of you," Nolan said.
Both Donald and Louis were ranked one and two (respectively) on the Department's Firefighter/Paramedic Final Register of Eligibles List that was posted August 31, 2012.
The department also welcomed Ben Johnson and Brent Pfiffner, both filling vacancies within Northbrook Fire's paid-on-call program.
"Ben is the son of a retired firefighter, Steve Johnson and Brent's grandparents lived here in town since the 1960s," Nolan said.

ENID, Okla. —
The suspected driver in a hit-and-run accident that injured two people has been arrested.
Cleveland Williams, 49, was taken into custody Wednesday by the Enid Police Department.
PDF: Court affadavit and police report
The arrest comes just a few days after the victims in the accident filed a civil lawsuit against Williams and another man they believe also was in the truck.
Two pedestrians were seriously injured in the accident, as they walked together in the evening hours of Aug. 23. Police were later tipped off and questioned both Williams and Jason B. Hughes the night of the accident.
Williams eventually was arrested on complaints of failure to stop after a non-fatal traffic accident, a felony. He also faces misdemeanor charges of failure to give information and render aid, failure to contact law enforcement and driving with a revoked license, according to the Garfield County District Attorney's Office.
There have been no criminal charges filed against Hughes, and he has not been arrested.
Jesse Presson, 20, and Samantha Kester, 17, were hit by a pickup as they walked near Cleveland and Oklahoma. The vehicle then fled the scene, police said.
According to the police accident report, someone claiming knowledge of the incident called a relative of Presson and said Hughes was involved. That information was forwarded to police.
An officer went to Hughes' residence and found him inside. Hughes reportedly told police he was with Williams when the accident occurred. The officer wrote that Hughes said he and Williams "had been drinking" before heading to a restaurant for food. Hughes did not drive, he told the officer, because he did not have a valid driver's license.
After speaking with Hughes, the officer approached Williams, who was outside the house sleeping in a tent. When questioned, Williams denied involvement and said he was never in the truck.
Officer Kenyon Hughes was investigating the wreck and being assisted by officer Andy Morris. Once Enid Police determined the DA had issued the warrant, Morris made the arrest, Capt. Jack Morris said.

Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced today that on April 20, 2011, Mary S. Becker, 56, of Jerseyville, Illinois, was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury sitting in East St. Louis for Bank Fraud. The Indictment also has a forfeiture allegation seeking property and proceeds traceable to the bank fraud violation, which includes her residence, two condominiums in Osage Beach, Missouri, a 38' boat, vehicles, trailers, motorcycles and bank stock. The alleged bank fraud took place from at least 2003, through January, 2011, in Jersey County, Illinois. The offense of Bank Fraud carries with it a maximum penalty of up to thirty (30) years imprisonment and/or a fine of $1,000,000, five (5) years supervised release, and mandatory restitution.
The Indictment alleges that Becker electronically transferred funds from the Bank's corresponding accounts to her own accounts, inflated expenses to a prepaid expense account and then electronically transferred the funds to her account, took money from a certificate of deposit account and concealed the money in the Bank's general ledger. It also alleges that in order to perpetuate the scheme, Becker provided false information in the monthly reports to the Board and provided false information to FDIC examiners and state bank examiners. Further allegations are that Becker was employed by the Jersey State Bank since approximately 1976. During her employment she held various positions including Assistant Cashier, a director of the bank holding corporation, and Executive Vice-President. Her responsibilities included being in charge of the bank's general ledger, the corresponding accounts, and she provided regular reports to the President and board members as to the bank's assets, stability and financial soundness. The Indictment alleges that approximately $4.4 million was embezzled from the bank.

The Belleville School District 201 board voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to approve a lease purchase contract on a building to house the district's administrative offices.
The district is purchasing the former headquarters of Dickerson Petroleum Inc. at 1920 N. Illinois St. in Belleville for $474,000. The district expects to officially close the sale Thursday, according to district Superintendent Jeff Dosier. Once the closing is completed, the district will begin painting, replacing carpet and making some updates to the building before moving staff into the building.
"We will start moving records immediately," Dosier said. "Sixty-five years worth of student records have to be moved."
Staff and equipment is expected to begin moving into the new space by Sept. 1, Dosier confirmed.
Law requires the district to maintain student records for 65 years after a student leaves the district.
For the past 10 years the district has leased it's administrative space from Lindenwood University-Belleville. The district's lease contract with Lindenwood University ends on Sept. 1 and if the new building isn't ready to move in to by then, the district would have to negotiate a month-to-month lease agreement with the university.
By purchasing a building instead of continuing the lease, the district expects to save an estimated $33,500 annually.
In other business, the board unanimously approved hiring Chris Brown as a new assistant principal for Belleville East High School. He will be one of four assistant principals at the school. The board also approved hiring Laurie Gray as a social worker for Belleville East High School.

Hi Guy's,
I have been a Subaru owner now for 12 years and have gone through 4 different models in that time with various modifications along the way. I have just put a deposit down on a A4 Avant S-line 2.0t Quattro to use as more of a family car with the plan to tuck the scoob away for fun/sunny days.
The thing is, I'm not used to the miles that Audi's tend to rack up.
The car in question has 89,000 miles on a 54 plate. 2 Owners the first getting regular Audi 'Long Life' services, the 2nd owner (last 2 years) shows no sign of service (no stamp). it may well of had an oil/filter change but no official record.
the cambelt has been done and the dealer has agreed to put an audi service on it.
So 2 Questions :
1. What kind of service can I expect to be done i.e what will they check and replace
2. Convince me that 89,000miles is OK, as most of my previous cars have ranged from 15,000 to 60,000 before moving on. Trying to find an A4 B7 sub 80,000 seems like a very rare thing.
Many Thanks

The toddler tantrum can come at any moment. Your day (or night) can go from Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy to Holy-F***ing-Sh**-Balls in less than 2 seconds. And that is exactly how it went down in my house last night.
It was just a simple bath. 2 toddlers, 1 bath, 7pm. This is how we do it. Water is good. Soap bubbles are fun. Routine helps the active child. Until it doesn't. And then you enlist the trickery. Glow Sticks. Water Paints. Bath Color Tablets. Last night it was the latter.
"If you get into the bathtub you can pick a color and make the water change to blue or purple or red. Your choice, but you have to get into the bathtub first."
My youngest totally took the bait; he shed his clothes (with some help) and climbed in as fast as possible. My older guy was on to me. He knew that this water-color-changing-thing was maybe cool but not nearly as cool as running naked back and forth between the bathroom and the bedroom, taunting me with his new found 3 1/2 year old contrariness.
"I don't want to take a bath, mommy. I will never take a bath. Never-ever-ever!"
"OK sweetie, but then you don't get to make the water change colors. It's your choice."
I'm working on the whole "It's your choice" thing. I get it. It makes sense, it does, But I hope it doesn't mess him up later in life when he realizes that he doesn't always get a choice. But that's for an entirely different post. Let's continue.
The "I will never take a bath – well it's your choice" dialogue went on for about 5 minutes; my youngest splashing away happily in his purple magic water. At some point during our enlightened conversation, I noticed that my 3 1/2 year old was playing with his penis. This is normal. He's a young boy. Exploring his parts. And stretching them! He was wrapping his penis around his finger like it was a Twizzler. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it but I was afraid he might be hurting it. I don't know. I don't have one. Does that hurt a penis? He kept twisting it and screaming in my face.
I very gently said, "Sweetheart, please be careful with your penis."

NASHUA — Pinkerton's "Long Red Line" ran like its name yesterday in an overwhelming victory in the Nashua Invitational.
Paced by an exceptional race by Phil Parent, the Astros compiled just 34 points to smoke runner-up Methuen (91) in the 11-team race. Londonderry (107) was third.
Despite being sick the last three days before the race, Parent was first in 16:24 over the 5K course, nipping Bedford standout Tristam Winship at the finish by one second. Sophomore Tom Hanlon was fourth in 16:54, Connor Kwiecien was seventh, Owen Clark came in ninth and the Astros took 13th and 14th as well.
Perhaps even more impressive, Pinkerton took the top eight places in the JV race, led by winner Nick Sevilla, who ran a 17:14.
"It was just a great performance for our guys," said Pinkerton coach Mike Clark. "We're really looking forward to next week (the Manchester Invitational)."
Methuen was paced by sophomore Jeff Reddy in eighth with a 17:05, while Londonderry was led by Grant McAuliffe in 17:02 in fifth. Joe Settineri came in 10th for Salem.
Sansing paces girls
Pinkerton sophomore Morgan Sansing ran a superb race to place first yesterday at the Nashua Invitational, coming in at 19:18, 12 seconds before Concord senior Smita Boesch-Dining.
Sansing's classmate, Ariel Aillancourt, also was solid and came in third at 19:52 but, although soph Taylor Lacy came in 14th, the Astros didn't have quite the depth to prevail as a team.
Bishop Guertin placed first with 49 points, scoring four runners in the top 10.
Like the boys, Pinkerton's girls also dominated the JV race, putting seven in the top 12 led by Kaila Cote in first (20:54) and freshman Samantha Mangano in second.
For Londonderry, which was fifth in the varsity, Madison McKivergan came in 11th.

More homes planned for large-scale development site (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Another 600 homes planned for Wynyard Park, near Stockton
Updated 4:13pm Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in News By Chris Webber, Reporter (Stockton/Hartlepool)
MORE details have been released about a large scale housing development north of Stockton.
A £100m plan to build 1,000 homes at Wynyard, half way between Stockton and Hartlepool, were submitted to Stockton Borough Council last year.
Now another application to build 600 more homes has been handed in to Hartlepool Borough Council.
Eventually the developers, Wynyard Park Ltd, want to build a primary school for 370 pupils, retirement village, a village hall, shop and pub in the area.
A third plan, to build 168 new homes on the site was submitted to Hartlepool council last year.
In its latest application, Wynyard Park Ltd has requested a change in use to residential to complement its existing business permissions on site.
Currently more than 65 businesses and 1,650 people lives on the 700-acre site. Wynyard Park Ltd say the extra homes costing £155m to build would generate an extra £1.5m of council tax revenue for Hartlepool council.
Chris Musgrave, chief executive of Wynyard Park Ltd, said: "We are keen to build on this success and further develop the site so we can continue to attract major businesses and investment to the park."
There has been no time for objections to be submitted to Hartlepool council. However concerns from members of the public and Grindon Parish Council about traffic problems on the A689 and A19 have been raised with Stockton council.
However in a press release Wynyard Park Ltd has pointed to proposed improvements to both the A689 and A19 and said infrastructure would be put in place.
Other proposals for the Wynyard site include a £300m new hospital planned for 2017 which would involve the controversial closure of both Hartlepool and North Tees hospitals.

How International Parents Can Research U.S. College Safety
Even from thousands of miles away, parents of international students can help keep their children safe.
Use the Internet to research campus safety before sending your student to the United States.
Sending a son or daughter off to college marks a major milestone for parents—a time to loosen the reins of child rearing as your student moves to a new, more independent environment.
For international parents, the send-off can be an even bigger transition. Unlike parents living in the United States, international parents will likely have a harder time dropping by, checking in, and ultimately knowing their children are safe and sound at school.
"I have a young son, and the thought of sending him to another country for four years is daunting," notes Rob Hardin, assistant director of admissions and international student recruitment at the University of Oregon. "I would let him go, and even encourage it, but man—who would I talk to? Where would I go? If I didn't speak the language, it would be that much harder."

U.S. college officials generally go to great lengths to make their campuses safe. Still, here are a few steps parents can take before and during their student's college experience to help ensure safety.
1. Check into safety stats: A school's website is a good first start to investigating campus safety statistics. Beginning the search is simple, Hardin notes: In the search bar on a college's website, "Type in safety; hit enter; see what comes up," he says.
By federal law, all U.S. colleges must disclose campus crime statistics, including counts of rape, murder, robbery, and arson. You may be able to find this information posted somewhere on the school's website, or through the Department of Education's online Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool.
Beyond statistics, look for precautionary steps colleges take, including late-night escort services that will deliver your child back to their dorm room and designated safe spots on campus to call for help during emergencies. Check to make sure the schools your child is considering are transparent about safety, Hardin recommends.
2. Research the surrounding area: There are more than 1,600 colleges and universities in the United States, and many are located in vastly different geographic settings. Going to college in New York City versus a small-town school in the Midwest will be a much different experience in many ways, including safety.

Do some Internet research to find out if the schools your child is considering are located in major cities, rural towns, or suburban areas. Then, investigate the surrounding areas' security offerings. If finances allow, investigating both the college campus and the surrounding area in person is ideal, notes Katherine Cohen, founder of college admissions consulting firm IvyWise.
3. Seek out sources: Talking to the admissions and international student counselors at the schools your family is considering is a good way to get your safety questions answered, notes Natalie Koster, assistant director of undergraduate international admissions at the University of Colorado—Boulder.
For an unbiased take, bring your questions to the nearest EducationUSA office, the University of Oregon's Hardin recommends. Operated by the U.S. Department of State, the organization provides a variety of information about studying in the United States.
4. Have a pre-college discussion: Before your student departs, talk to them about safety precautions and new experiences they may face.
"Sit down and say, 'Hey, you're going to a new place; you don't know the culture; you're not familiar with everything there,'" Hardin from the University of Oregon recommends. "'You want to learn the culture and get a feel for everything before you stand out.'"
But students can be cautious while still integrating into their new campus, UC—Boulder's Koster notes.
"It does not have to be scary," she says. "In fact, I would encourage parents to encourage their students to try to get to know people outside of what they're used to. Definitely have [your] students branch out, but not enter an unsafe situation."

The recent Raw Milk Survey from the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture said five states have adopted stricter standards to regulate bacteria counts in recent years.
And some states are cracking down on farmers selling raw milk to friends.
California allows the retail sale of milk that hasn't been heated to 161 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds.
Raw milk enthusiasts say pasteurization, the process of heating milk to eliminate bacteria, destroys nutrients. Federal health officials say raw milk can cause disease or death.
