In a recent discussion, somebody wondered why we couldn't just pack up our stray dogs and cats for shipment to some foreign country where such animals are acceptable fare on most menus.
Now, I hesitated to speak up because one never knows when an animal cruelty prevention-type person might be listening. Still, I had to give it some thought and although I see pets as valuable, I am much more concerned about pediatric wards and taking care of children than I am about the critters.
After all, according to the Good Book, we were given dominion over the animals and not vice-versa. A recent story from Romania reveals that 6,300 tons of horse, mule, and donkey meat was produced in 2012. Evidently, quite a bit of that was combined with beef and sold to foreign markets (in this case, the "foreign" would be us). One can only imagine the consternation to think that Old Molly might be mixed in with the hamburger.
Actually, the rumor is that horse meat is actually quite tasty — no matter what you might have believed after watching 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' and thinking about that two-week old portion that was starting to turn.
Some cooking-type people who asked not to be identified told me that horse meat is trim, without the taste of many wild meats and very palatable.
Having been raised on a farm, I know from personal experience that horses and mules — especially mules — are clever, clean, and more industrious on a daily basis than the good old cow ever is.
At any rate, if you have a tendency to buy meat from Western Europe and find yourself feeling like running a mile and a quarter on Kentucky Derby weekend, remember that you heard it here first.
A daily dose of headlines from state, local, and national sources sends cause for at least some alarm among those of us who treasure the Bill of Rights. Sometimes the law-givers at all levels are beginning to sound like the preacher who gets stuck on hell and all the punishment we might receive while never quite getting around to a mention of heaven where we can do some of the things we might enjoy.
A 20-something American might well wonder if the Star Spangled Banner will always contain the words the "land of the free" with so many restrictions being proposed or imposed already in every corner of this great land. There are those in positions of influence who seem bent on controlling our guns, as if after 237 years we have suddenly lost the ability to make those decisions for ourselves.
I am becoming more convinced than ever the terrorists are winning in our own country and the minority is slowly but surely dictating to the majority, although that runs contrary to what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Since 9-11, we are slowly closing up shop. A fellow can't take much more than a pencil-thin tube of toothpaste on to an airplane these days, or so I'm told. We cannot go into public buildings — including the U.S. Capitol — without being subjected to searches, taking off belt buckles, watches, keys, etc.
The "government" (whatever that means in 2013) can view, review, check into, and otherwise dig deep into our personal information all under the guise of national security. Computer chips and personal surveillance scares me.
I can just foresee the day when babies are going to be implanted at birth for "protection." Personally, I want no chip in my foot, my car, or anyplace else where an agency can track my every move. This United States of America is moving in some not very desirable directions for old-timers like me.
Maybe I am just upset about the rising price of gasoline. It's up about 48 cents since the New Year.
One report said that California has endured a 75-cent spike within the last two months and parts of the state have a $5.20 per gallon charge already.
With the average price of a barrel of crude oil at approximately $96 per barrel (it was around $145 per barrel when gasoline edged over $4 per gallon nationally) it is not likely that we will quite get to the previous highs. Oh, well, that old Schwinn 10-speed I bought from the late Fred Welcker at the Cycle Shop in South Bluefield still works!
I can use it to outrun the horses, mules, and computer-chippers nipping at my heels.

Aim To Be Champion
Returning in January after a one-year dismiss, Guerrero effectively moved up to the super featherweight partition with a first-round knockout of Edel Ruiz. That was followed in March by a dreadful no-contest against Daud Yordan in which Guerrero was apparent by many to have encouraged a referee's stoppage after suffering a cut in the second round. Three months later Guerrero gained a gauge of redemption by fighting through another cut and stopping former lightweight contender Efren Hinojosa.
I've been out for a month and a half in Big Bear getting actually and mentally ready for the fight. Those guys come in form and they come to fight, so I know Klassen is going to be ready.In assess the confront posed by Klassen, Guerrero approved the South African sparkplug might be the toughest assignment so far in his growing career. He has actually fast hands, and not just fast hands but his punch output he punches over a hundred punches a round and carries that all the way through the fight," observed Guerrero. He's a two-time world champion and to be a champion and to be defensive your title, you've got to have incredible in the tank.
Though Guerrero's self-confidence is peaking having spent substantial time training with Sugar Shane Mosley in the
Being in camp you forever want to better yourself and learn more, and improve on what you already have. We've been effective on a lot of diverse things and on fight night its going to show I think a lot of public are going to be surprised. We've been out here functioning hard and focus on different things and putting the package together.
Guerrero spoke of the advantage of training far from the distraction of home, despite his strong roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Guerrero's positive tone is a change from the almost disobedient one he was compulsory to strike earlier this summer, following the onslaught of criticism arising from his no contest against Yordan. Guerrero admitted that having to fight during a similar cut in his next fight out in June was a blessing in disguise.

Recruitment is the main process that NPC affiliated sororities at USC Upstate use to recruit new members. This process is different from the process for seeking membership in a National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) sorority (Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho). If you are interested in joining an NPHC sorority, individual chapters select their membership event dates, which occur throughout the year. For additional information regarding NPHC organizations, please contact the Office of Student Life at 503-5122.
Panhellenic Recruitment is open to any currently enrolled USC Upstate student regardless of race, age, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status or sexual orientation. Students must have a 2.5 GPA to participate in Recruitment (first year students will use HS GPA for consideration, transfer students will use incoming collegiate GPA).
It is important to recognize that Recruitment is a selection process. The Panhellenic Advisor and Recruitment Counselors (Nu Chi's) will explain the process in detail throughout the week. Each PNM will be assigned to a group led by 2 Nu Chi's who will be available during the entire process to answer questions. For more information, please view the Panhellinic Recruitment Guide (pdf).

50 lbs on your back, hard pull ahead, one or two blocks and you will feel the difference. However, I don't recommend blocks late in the day because the caffeine will keep you awake long after dark.

Manufacturer's Description
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Cliff Shot Blocks are an excellent energy food alternative to hard bars and messy gels. Each Sleeve contains 6 gummy blocks. Each case contains 18 sleeves. Easy to eat on the go, just open one end of the sleeve and squeeze a block out at a time. Made from organic brown rice syrup, organic evaporated cane juice, organic brown rice syrup solids, pectin, citric acid, green tea (caffeinated flavors), natural flavors, organic sunflower oil and carnuba wax. 95 percent organic ingredients. 3 blocks (1 serving size) contains 100 calories, 70 mg sodium, 20 mg potassium, 24 g carbs. Clif recommends eating 3-6 blocks for every hour of activity, followed with water. A great energy food for any adventure or exercise!. Serving size: 3 pieces (30 g). Total fat: 0 g. Cholesterol: 0 g. Sodium: 70 mg. Potassium: 20 mg. total cab: 24 g. Sugars: 12 g
- Tahoe Mountain Sports
Clif SHOT BLOKS are organic energy chews that naturally enhance your performance. Because they're chewable, they're easier to grab, store, handle, and consume than many energy options.
Add variety to your performance food regimen with the great-tasting Clif Shot Bloks Fastpak. A great complement to gels and bars, Bloks help you keep up your energy and intensity. Linear Fastpak packaging is much more compact than the original packaging and makes the Bloks easy to dispense by simply squeezing one end of the package. Package of six 10g Bloks provide essential electrolytes and carbohydrates to replenish muscle energy and efficiency. Bloks are certified USDA Organic with 100% natural sourced ingredients for clean burning energy that won't weigh you down. Easy-to-chew Bloks provide 100 calories per 3 Bloks, making it easy to track caloric intake during longer activity. Chocolate Cherry and Black Cherry flavors contain 50mg of caffeine per serving; Orange flavor contains 25mg of caffeine per serving. Margarita flavor includes 3 times the sodium of other flavors. No artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. *Discount will be applied when you check out. Offer not valid for sale-price items ending in $._3 or $._9.
Variety is the spice of life -- we couldn't agree more. We understand ('cause we've been there) that after numerous hours of training and racing, the body needs to mix it up a little in terms of what goes in the tank. That's why the folks at Clif Bar set out to create another energy food option that complements their bars and gels. The result is Clif Shot Bloks. They're simple-to-handle, easy-to-chew, and provide similar nutrition to Shot gel, so they'll fit seamlessly into your training and racing nutrition program. The primary ingredient for Shot Bloks is brown rice syrup which provides easily assimilated carbohydrates for working muscles, and they provide the mineral salts known as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores and experience potential performance decline, so it's best to help replenish them through food and fluid intake. Clif created Shot Bloks, each in a 10g size, so that 3 Bloks provide 100 calories. That makes it easy to track caloric intake during long outings. There are 6 Bloks to a single serve package, so one package provides 200 calories. In one order of Shot Bloks you'll get 18 individual 6-Blok packages. The individual packages slide easily into your jersey pocket for quick access while taking up minimal space. This design also keeps it simple to squeeze the Bloks directly into your mouth for single handed re-fueling. Bloks are available in Black Cherry, Cola, Orange, Margarita, Cran Razz, Lemon Lime, Mountain Berry and Strawberry. Black Cherry and Cola have 50mg caffeine, Orange has 25mg. Margarita has 3x the sodium while the remaining Shot Bloks offer no additional stimulants. Please be forewarned that you're all-but-certain to get terribly addicted. For all of their nutritional value, they are candy on the palate. In our experience it's the first athlete-focused food you'll ever nee...

Improved! - The Customer Email Notification
MTA and the LIRR have launched a more robust email and text messaging system
that will notify registered customers of service disruptions at any of
the MTA's family of transportation agencies, including the LIRR. The new
system will allow the LIRR to send out email alerts more frequently and
to more customers without capacity concerns.
The email alert system is supported by the LIRR's
newly established Public Information Office, staffed around the clock
by information specialists whose goal is to provide accurate and timely
information to our customers.
Using our website, you
can register to receive alerts on your cellphone or pda about any combination
of subway lines, bus routes, rail lines, bridges or tunnels. You can choose
to receive them 24/7, or only during a particular time of day or week.
The system will be able to send out up to a million messages every five
minutes. "This is a revolutionary step that has the potential to transform
the experience our customers have with us," said Elliot G. Sander, the
Executive Director and CEO of the MTA. "If you know about a service
disruption before you leave your home, or now, even as you are making your
way to a subway or rail station or a bus stop, you can avoid the frustration
of delays by seeking an alternate route."
This initiative builds upon
years of experience that we at the LIRR have had in sending email messages
notifying customers about service disruptions and/or service changes.
Existing LIRR email customers must sign up for the new system in order
to keep receiving emails about service disruptions.
Holiday & Holiday Eve Trains
There will be thirteen extra afternoon trains from Penn Station
on Wednesday, December 24 for those leaving work early for the Christmas
holidays. The Railroad will operate on a holiday schedule on Christmas
Day, Thursday, December 25, returning to a regular weekday schedule on
Friday, December 26.
On Wednesday, December 31, there will be thirteen
additional afternoon trains from Penn Station to serve those who are leaving
early for the New Year's holiday. There will also be additional eastbound
and westbound train service to and from Penn Station for New Year's Eve
festivities on December 31 and early January 1.
The LIRR will operate
on a holiday schedule on New Year's Day, Thursday, January 1. Off-peak
fares will be in effect all day December 25/26 and January 1/2.
New Timetables Reflect
Extra Holiday Service The new schedules that take effect on Monday, December
15 are available in terminals and stations around the system, as well as
on the Railroad's website. These timetables have been issued to highlight
the extra trains for the holiday season. Consult our website -
or call the 24-hour Travel Information Center at 631-231-LIRR, 516-822-LIRR
or 718-217-LIRR for full details.
Late Letters
Did you know that we will fax or email a "Late Letter" to you if your train
has been delayed? If you get to work late because of train delays, you
can request a note through our Customer Email System, from Customer Service
personnel at Penn Station and Flatbush Avenue, or through our Public Affairs
Office. You can access our Customer Email System from our home
page where
you'll click on the FAQ/Contact Us button on the left side of the page.
Customer Service personnel at Penn or Flatbush will give you a form that
includes your train, its expected arrival time and its actual arrival time
... while the Public Affairs Office will research your delay and write
a brief letter explaining it. Their response will then either be faxed
or emailed to you ... often on the same day.
So if your office needs
to know why you were late ... we'll be glad to provide you with the details
of your delay.
Winter Travel Tips
Winter officially arrives on Monday, December 22 ... and when the storms
of winter start showing up, the Railroad may have to make some adjustments
to schedules and staffing. We'll make service decisions based on our expectations
of the storm's severity and how such storms have impacted our track,
signal, and power systems in the past. Customers who are making decisions
about traveling when these conditions exist are advised to listen to traffic
reports on radio and television, check our website for Weather Alerts, and/or call our 24-hour Travel Information Center for
the latest service information.
2008 Boat Show
It will be sailing into town on Saturday, December 13 and will remain in
port through Sunday, December 21 at the Jacob K. Javits Center. Discount
packages can be purchased at LIRR ticket offices, as well as from the gray
and the blue ticket machines. Don't miss the boat!
Parents' Corner Returns
When families are traveling together, and especially during the holidays,
parents may find that they have more responsibilities
to handle than they have hands to accomplish them. Safety dictates
that you hold your child's hand while boarding and exiting the train. Remember,
you can always ask for help with your luggage and other items, or go back
for them, after you've gotten the young ones safely into their seats.
If you saw yourself
As others do
Would you change your ways
To a better you?
Would you use two seats?
Would you speak so loud?
Push to the front
Of a boarding crowd?
Would you leave your coffee cup
On the floor,
Where it spills and sticks
To shoes and more?
Would you do those things
Or would you wince and say,
"I've got to do better
Starting today."
Be the 'you' that others admire.
Lead and shine ... perhaps

The Globalization of Hunger
Posted on: Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Keywords: Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Global Food Crisis, Food Sovereignty
At first, the numbers don't seem to add up. The world produces more food than ever—enough to feed twice the global population. Yet, more people than ever suffer from hunger; and their numbers are rising. Today, 854 million people, most of them women and girls, are chronically hungry, up from 800 million in 1996. Another paradox: the majority of the world's hungry people live in rural areas, where nearly all food is grown.
World Food Day on October 16 is a good time to try and understand the conundrum of world hunger. The root of the problem is the inequitable distribution of the resources needed to either grow or buy food (also known as poverty). World Food Day is an equally good time to call out one of the main culprits of the crisis: industrial agriculture, the very type enshrined in the Farm Bill that's currently before the US Senate.
The Farm Bill has far-reaching implications for farmers and food systems the world over. It is set to perpetuate a process whereby heavily subsidized US factory farms overproduce grains that are dumped in poor countries, bankrupting local farmers, who can't compete with subsidized prices. We've begun to hear a bit about the plight of these farmers, but few people know that most of them are women. In fact, women produce most of the world's food. They do so on small plots of land, working hard to feed their families and generate enough income for things like school fees and children's shoes.
US Agribusiness: Swallowing Up Lands and Livelihoods
Visit the websites of corporations like Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland, who together control 65 percent of the global grain trade, and you will read that their mission is to "feed a growing world." The reality is starkly different. Big Farming is part of a larger corporate economic model that prioritizes profit-making over all else, even the basic right to food. Around the world, agribusiness bankrupts and displaces small farmers, and directs farmers to grow export crops instead of staple foods.
Not long ago, most farm inputs came from farmers themselves. Seeds were saved from the last harvest and fertilizer was recycled from animal and plant wastes. Farmers found innovative ways to control pests by harnessing local biodiversity, such as cultivating insect-repelling plants alongside food crops. While these techniques can produce enough food to feed the world and sustain its ecosystems, they don't turn a profit for agribusiness. That's why corporations developed genetically modified seeds, chemical fertilizers, and synthetic pesticides.
These inputs are both expensive for farmers and highly damaging to the natural systems on which sustainable farming and, ultimately, all life depends. As the cost of farming has gone up, farmers' incomes have gone down due to trade rules that favor large-scale agribusiness over small farmers. For example, the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Agriculture forbids governments in the Global South from providing farmers with low-cost seeds and other farm inputs, turning farmers into a "market" for international agribusiness.
Over the past 50 years, as much of the world's farmland has been consolidated in fewer and fewer hands, millions of people have been forced to abandon their rural homes. In fact, this year, for the first time ever, the number of people living in cities around the world exceeded the number living in rural areas. Most of this urban population boom is due to rural migration.
Cash Crops and Climate Change
The same practices that have devastated women farmers and their communities worldwide have contributed to environmental destruction that impacts us all.
Export agriculture is a major contributor to global warming because it requires huge inputs of petroleum: it takes 100 gallons of oil to grow just one acre of US corn. It also requires a massive global transportation infrastructure, including ports, railways, fuel pipelines, and superhighways, often built at the expense of local people and ecosystems. In many places, 40 percent of truck traffic is from hauling food over long distances. Today, food that could be grown locally is shipped, trucked, or flown half way around the planet.
Trade rules have so distorted agricultural markets that almost anywhere you go, food from the other side of the world costs less than food grown locally. So people in Kenya buy Dutch butter, while those in the Big Apple buy apples from Chile. In the US, the average bite of food travels 1,300 miles from farm to fork. The system is so wasteful that many countries import the very same foods that they export. For example, last year the US exported—and imported—900,000 tons of beef.
Asserting the Right to Food
The good news is that our global food systems may be on the verge of a great transition. Although agribusiness has unprecedented control over the world's farmers and food supply, the realities of climate change, resource depletion, and the human suffering caused by industrialized farming have led more people to start thinking about the links between food, the environment, and social justice. Around the world, demands for food sovereignty—peoples' right to control their own food systems—is at an all-time high. Even in the US, where much of the population thinks of farming as a quaint and remote activity, more and more people are realizing that if you eat, you're involved in agriculture.
The theme of this year's World Food Day is the right to food. Securing this basic human right for all people, including future generations, will require fundamental changes in the way we use the Earth's natural resources to grow and distribute food. As we face rising temperatures and declining supplies of cheap energy, change will come of necessity. It's up to us—working in partnership with small-scale farmers around the world—to demand a change for the better.

The next few pages are challenging. They may require that you go back and re-read what you have read to fully take in what is being said. You may even wish to take notes as you go along and/or ask questions at the TWB Learning Cafe to dialogue with your global colleagues.
The idea of curriculum is hardly new - but the way we understand and theorize about it has altered over the years, and there remains considerable dispute as to meaning. Curriculum has its origins in the running/chariot tracks of Greece. It was, literally, "a course." In Latin curriculum was a racing chariot; the word, currere , was "to run."
Here, curriculum can be seen as: "All the learning which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is carried on in groups or individually, inside or outside the school." This gives us some basis to move on - and for the moment all we need to do is highlight two of the key features:
- Learning is planned and guided. (We have to specify in advance what we are seeking to achieve and how we are to go about it.)
- The definition refers to schooling. (We should recognize that our current appreciation of curriculum theory and practice emerged in the school and in relation to other schooling ideas such as subject and lesson.)
In what follows, we are going to look at 4 ways of approaching curriculum theory and practice:
- Curriculum as a Body of Knowledge/Product
- Curriculum as Process
- Curriculum as Praxis (practice)
- Curriculum as Context

Stephen fundraiser dinner Saturday benefits education
The 35th celebration Saturday, a fundraiser for the Bobby Stephen Fund for Education, begins at 5:30 p.m. and includes a full buffet dinner, music, step dancers and a few speakers. Tickets are $50 and available at the door.
Stephen, also a former state senator, is a father of three successful sons and said he keeps holding the St. Patrick's Day party to raise funds to help young people who need some extra help to succeed.
He said that's why the fund is now a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization and why he continues the party tradition. "I want to give back," he said.
The party traditionally draws a crowd that's heavy on politicians, from governor to city ward clerk, but also draws lots of "civilians."
Since 1994, Stephen said: "We've given over 300 scholarships." Last year, the number was 22, and the previous year it was 35. "It's a way to help at-risk students," he said.

Beats Finland, wins group, gets ready for Canada.
COLOGNE Russia rolled over Finland, 5-0, getting goals by five different players and a shutout by Semyon Varlamov. Ilya Kovalchuk got two assists and Maxim Afinogenov a goal and an assist."With the new rules it is all about special teams and I think our penalty killing was great and the power play worked tonight. It is important for the quarterfinal," Kovalchuk said.The last time Russia left a World Championship rink as a loser was in Moscow in 2007 when they lost to the Finns 2-1 in overtime. Since then, the team has raked in 24 wins. Before their game against Finland. Now the win count is 25.Finland started the game strong, they came out of the gate like they meant business. And they did. Finland pressured the Russian defencemen, and created several good scoring chances. Unfortunately for the Finns, when it was time to put the puck to the back of the net, they hit the post instead. Four times."They played very well in the beginning," Kovalchuk admitted.Russia got into some penalty trouble halfway through the period, with Alexei Emelin and Dmitri Kulikov taking penalties within a minute from each other. But the Russian defence, and goaltender Semyon Varlamov kept the Finns off the scoreboard.Then it was Finland who ran into penalty trouble. The Russian powerplay showed why it needs to be feared. Finlands defenceman Topi Jaakola injured itself, turning the situation into a 5-on-3 play. Alexander Ovechkins onetimer failed but the puck found its way to Alexander Semin who took a onetimer. That failed but found its way to Sergei Fedorov, who was waiting for it at Petri Vehanens doorstep, and tapped the puck in at 16:42."We are pretty good. We have almost all the guys who played in the Olympics and we have a great atmosphere in the room," Kovalchuk said.In the second period, Finland lost players when defencemen Juuso Hietanen and Pasi Puistola were injured and Jussi Jokinen received 2+10 minute penalty for a hit to the head, forcing coach Jukka Jalonen to shuffle his lines and - having already decided to rest defencemen Lasse Kukkonen and Petteri Nummelin - move team captain Sami Kapanen down to defence."I wasn't trying to hurt him, but I play in front of the on our power play, and have to make sure I make some room for our guys," Kovalchuk said about the situation where Hietanen was injured.Maybe thats why Finland also ran into major penalty trouble in the second period, taking six minors, and Jussi Jokinens ten-minute penalty for hitting to the head."Kapanen was excellent tonight. We hag five defencemen for half the game, and he was our top-two defenceman," coach Jalonen said.Given multiple chances, Russia finally scored at 13:52 when Ilya Kovalchuk got the puck in the slot, and waited until a Finnish defenceman hit the ice to block a shot, then stepped around him and fed the puck to Evgeni Malkin, who shot the puck through Vehanens five-hole to make it 2-0.Right after the faceoff Maxim Afinogenov got the puck deep into the Finnish zone, and took the shot that Vehanen was able to stop with his leg pad. The rebound escaped from Finnish defence but not from Nikolai Kulemin who gave Russia three-goal lead at 14:02."We started well, but didn't stick to our system tonight, and didn't have the speed we need in our game," said Kapanen.Russia put the game to bed, for good, early in the third. First, Kovalchuk sent a pass from the hash marks to the point and Emelin onetimed it high on Vehanens stickside to make it 4-0 at 2:15 into the third.But, Russia wasnt done yet. A mere 40 seconds after the fourth goal Afinogenov grabbed a loose puck on the Finnish blueline, took a step into the slot, and banged the puck past Vehanen for the fifth time in the game.Russia wins Group E and meets Canada in the quarterfinal. In the other Olympic quarterfinal rematch, Finland will take on the Czech Republic.RISTO PAKARINEN

WOW. This is one hell of a cover. I had to move the mirrors close to the RV, then it fit like a glove. Its much stronger then I was lead to believe. This cover survived Hurricane Sandy. It did not move or shift with the wind. One strap that goes under the RV broke, but we are talking about a Hurricane. Thanks, EMPIRECOVERS for a great product. I wish I had more room to write more.
I have a 19 foot well known, class B RV. The original cover deteriorated; I replaced it with a cover from Empire which is the same material, but with two zippered access points and the cost is 1/4 the original. Hard to beat!
Great to keep the sun and salt off the motorhome.
Cover is used while trailer is stored at my house. Zippered openings allow easy access to inside of trailer while in storage.Seems like this fabric is going to last longer then other companies products. The fit of the cover makes it easier to install.
We purchased a Empire cover for our pickup. It was all we expected it to be. We were so pleased with the cover and the service, we ordered a cover for our RV 5th. wheel. Both covers are doing a great job of keeping our truck and 5th. wheel protected from the hot and cold weather.
It covers my Lance camper while the camper is still mounted on the truck and I can move the truck around(slowly) to change parking positions at my house.
It went on pretty easy. I think it was worth every cent. I will let you know how it holds up through the winter months.

My favorite of the Davidoff is the Special R but, the primero is perfect for the quickie smake after lunch or something. Davidoff by far my favorite cigar. Always got a pack of primeros with me.....
Kevin in Texas November 2, 2009
"Perfect, except for the taste."
Everything is perfect in this small cigar: well aged, rolled perfectly, burn and draw are perfect. The taste has a harshness to it: not the best tobacco.
Henry in Texas August 30, 2009
A well contructed smoke with beautiful ash. A bit mild, but good. I will probably re-order more.
Jeff in Chapel Hill, NC December 11, 2008
"Primeros fine cigars by Davidoff"
I've bought the Davidoff Primeros and these are very well cigars. As a Dutchmen used to smoke top quality cigars, even Cubans, these are good cigars, specially considering there price.

I have the PC version. I boughtthe DLC 1 and the DLC 4. When I tried to find a game, there were no players listed, even for the original game maps. I called support and apparently you can't find any players if you don't have all four of he DLC packs. You have to diable the DLC search in order to play any of them. Does anyone have a fix for this? I can undersand that there may not be any player using the new maps but why does that prevent you finon playing in the maps you already have? In any case, I question if I am the only peson who bought DLC 4 in the world.THere should have been at lest one other person.
Having the same problems.... with no answers!
Here is the answer. If you want to pla the rest of the maps you have to disable dlc in the menue. If you want to play dlc4, you choose those maps.

Hundreds of you have written in recently to sound off about everything from politics at the theme parks to confusion at the polls — with some charter-school angst and columnist-bashing thrown in for good measure.
Scott, your column on Mickey's blatant influence on politics ["Hardball politics back at Disney?"] echoes what I have been thinking for weeks. The corporate bean counters have taken control, as many Disney policies are now intended more for profits than the Magic. Walt must be rolling over in his grave. Al
Come on, Al. There's still lots of magic. Just think about how all those secret text messages that Disney lobbyists sent county commissioners disappeared! And I know plenty of politicians who think it's truly magical to wake up one morning and find $150,000 worth of Disney money in their campaign accounts!
I think you have the Disney political activity about right. … I have observed them up close in the past when they were much more sophisticated and savvy. Ron
Maybe that's it, Ron. The subtlety is lacking. The sophisticated ballerina from Fantasia has been replaced with the bumbling hippos.
Mr. Maxwell, maybe you don't think Disney has done much for this community. But most of us do. And they have every right to give money to whomever they want. Janet
Janet, I think Disney's done lots of good stuff. And I've praised the company many times. You're also correct about the company's right to funnel money to legislators and send text messages to county commissioners — even in the moments before those officials cast votes. But it's also our right to expose it.
Scott, thank you SO much for breaking down the constitutional amendments. My wife and I have three college degrees between us and had trouble making heads or tails of those things. Paul
That is by design, Paul. If you can't summarize the changes you want to make to our constitution in fewer than 600 words, it's because you're not trying. (And when I say "you," I mean legislators.)
Hi, Scott. I have somehow been under the impression (evidently misguided) that a constitution is supposed to be a framework for legislation — and not a substitution. Weegie
First of all, Weegie, your name kinda rocks. Second, you are right. Legislators used to whine when citizens tried to amend the constitution. House Speaker Dean Cannon once described it as alarming that citizens were proposing an average of 2.7 amendments per year. This year alone, Cannon and his legislative pals proposed 11.
I don't know what the answer is, but the current format in which amendments are proposed is absolutely RIDICULOUS! Jeff
And just think, Jeff, you're actually trying to understand all this stuff before you vote. I pity the poor saps who show up at the polls unprepared. Actually, I pity the rest of us … since we'll have to live with the results of those folks' votes.
Maxwell, you are pathetic. Ryan
Hey, we're not voting on that, are we?
Scott, thank you for the wisdom and common sense you display in today's charter-school column. Your voice is a bright, uncommon beacon of sanity in Florida's ideological, extremist swamp. Hoffman
Nothing symbolizes the battles of the extremes better than charter schools. There are major failures that waste tax dollars and shortchange kids — far more, by percentage, than traditional schools. But there are also some true success stories. If you're only looking for ammunition, you can find it on either side. And that's the problem: too many people looking for ammo, not enough looking out for the kids.
I am a public-school teacher and always wanted to ask politicians the following question: If charter schools are thought to be a better alternative because they use public money but without the regulation and bureaucracy, why don't they talk about deregulating traditional schools? Politicians spend time praising charter schools for their creative approaches — but at the same time, they tie traditional public-school teachers' hands behind their back with overregulation. My class would be a lot more creative and effective if I didn't spend all my time filling out paperwork for the state. Adam
Amen, Adam. It's like taking two birds, putting one in a cage — and then praising the other one for soaring so much higher.

Avidyne TAS600 Series Traffic Advisory Systems Receive Brazil STC Validation
It has received Agência Nacional De Aviação Civil–Brasil (ANAC) validation for its Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML STC) for the installation of the of ADS-B-upgradeable TAS600 Series of Traffic Advisory Systems.
Lincoln, MA – July 11, 2011 – Avidyne Corporation, a leading provider of integrated flight deck and safety systems for general aviation aircraft, today announced that they have received Agência Nacional De Aviação Civil –Brasil (ANAC) validation for their Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML STC) for the installation of the of ADS-B-upgradeable TAS600 Series of Traffic Advisory Systems. This approved model list validation includes more than 400 aircraft makes and models, including Brazilian Type Certificated (TC) aircraft models from the Indústria Aeronáutica Neiva family of Embraer and Piper-licensed aircraft.
"Brazil, especially the São Paulo region, has some of the densest air traffic in the world, and a high performance dual-antenna traffic system such as the TAS600 Series is critical to keeping pilots and their passengers safe," said Patrick Herguth, Chief Operating Officer. "This AML has been extended to include a large number of aircraft that were licensed for manufacture in Brazil, and gives our Brazilian dealers a basis for installation approval that reduces the paperwork cost and time associated with each TAS600 installation."
"Avidyne traffic systems have made a significant impact on aviation safety for general aviation aircraft owners around the world," said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne President and CEO. "Regional certification approvals are important to the continued success of our international dealers, and coupled with our aggressive pricing of our active traffic systems, we are providing significant safety benefits and cost savings for our customers."
TAS600 Series systems are the smallest, lightest, and most affordable dual-antenna active traffic system available, with prices starting at $8,495 for the TAS600. For more information on pricing, visit www.tas600.com.
The updated Approved Model List (AML) applies to the installation of the TAS600, TAS605, TAS610, TAS615, TAS620, and Ryan 9900BX Traffic Advisory Systems.
About Avidyne Traffic Systems
Avidyne's TAS600 Series currently comprises four models of dual-antenna, active-surveillance Traffic Advisory Systems — the TAS600, TAS605, TAS615, and TAS620 — which actively interrogate other transponder-equipped aircraft, and independently compute range, bearing, and closure rate of these aircraft in order to provide pilots with an accurate display of nearby traffic and timely audible and visual alerts of conflicting traffic.
All of Avidyne's TAS600 models are fully upgradeable to ADS-B, and all TAS600 systems provide traffic information about any transponder-equipped airplane that is nearby, independent of whether the target aircraft has ADS-B equipment installed.
With the addition of an ADS-B "In" signal, TAS600 customers have the ability to show ADS-B-equipped traffic on their existing TAS-compatible displays, in addition to any transponder-equipped traffic that may not be participating in ADS-B. For more information, go to www.ads-bee.com.
Avidyne has delivered over 10,000 traffic systems thus far, which have been certified and installed on hundreds of different aircraft models worldwide. TAS600 systems are available for retrofit through Avidyne's global network of Authorized Service Centers, and they are also available as standard equipment or factory options at several aircraft OEMs including Cessna, Diamond, Eurocopter, and Extra.

text: You might be tempted to think that this is just another ho-hum rolled chocolate cookie recipe. But I assure you, this is not the case. When you open a tin of these cookies, your nose will tell you that there is something special going on here. Aromatic spices combined with chocolate, espresso, orange, ancho chile, and cayenne make these cookies highly addictive and a good choice for afternoon tea, even well beyond the holiday season.

When you need to explain your design to the viewer it doesn't work. And your technical skills aren't there yet either (if this is the max of your capabilty) o.o
yeah, I have to agree with Wharton
why did you use a swan instead of a goose?
And I guess that you're trying to tell the viewer that the swan is angry, because it shoots fire out of its eyes? That's strange..? And it doesn't work?
The colours blue and white are associated with cleanliness, purity, safety, etc. And the swan itself is in a boring, non threatening pose.
And the typography is really out of place. o.o
Awesome illustration. It really does look a lot like malikas work. It isn't bad that you try to imitate aspects of her work, but you should always try to find a way to use it in a different way.
So, what is it that you usually do and how could you combine your style with elements from malikas style?
and yeah... tampons? I don't really get it either..
I guess that I'm the general audience, because I've got no clue what this is about o.o I think it's kinda funny that you've made her big and all, but why should somebody want to buy this shirt?
Do you maybe have more specific questions?
oh wow! Those mockups are truly awesome!
Thanks for the info guys =D

Comments, questions and tips
A beautiful salad ! We loved it. I used raspberry vinegar & cider vinegar in equal parts instead of balsamic, and added a splash of hazelnut oil (because I didn't have any pumpkin seed oil which would have been my choice) I also left the onion slices in an ice bath and drained them just before adding them in the salad bowl. And finally, I used dry lentils instead of a can. I boiled the dry green lentils 10 min in unsalted water, then added the salt and boiled 10 more minutes. And used feta cheese since I have no idea what cheshire cheese is !
Just perfect !
Will certainly do it again ! May be with grated raw beetroot instead of tomatoes.

Fremont's Earth Day Fair celebrated Earth Day's fortieth anniversary, April 24. It also featured the WHS New Leaf Club as one of the eco-friendly exhibitors.
The fair was held at the Teen Center in Central Park. The fair offered free admission and was coordinated by Fremont environmental specialist Chanel Kincaid.
"I was thrilled with the fair's outcome. More schools participated this year compared to last year," Kincaid said. "There was also music which entertained the guests."
WHS New Leaf Club had a booth with games, such as spin-the-wheel, hangman and a water game with toy cars. They gave out brownies and Capri Sun coin pouches as prizes. The club also sold plants and lemonade. They will use profits to buy plants for the planting. Sophomore New Leaf vice president Bharathi Gandi asked senior Christopher Valdez to play the guitar to attract guests to the booth. Many WHS students came to represent the New Leaf Club and earn community service hours.
"The booth looked like a success. We earned a lot of money from selling plants, lemonades and brownies," New Leaf president junior Julien Malard said.
Other Fremont high schools participated in the fair. Kennedy High School's Green Ventures Academy sold healthy, organic food. They will donate the money earned to Tri Cities Food Bank. Irvington gave out plants and brought the hybrid bus the school won from America's Greenest School contest.
American made paper and sold the paper cutouts for $1. They will adopt trees with the money earned. Fremont's Got Talent vocalists Levi William, Ciara Lunger and Derek Chan also performed some original songs to entertain guests.
"The Earth Day fair was nice. I thought Levi William was very talented," Gandi said.
Union City Transit, Alameda County Water District, Tri City Ecology Center and other corporations set up eco-friendly booths. The corporations gave out brochures to inform guests about being environmental friendly. Some corporations gave out free tote bags, pencils and other goodies to attract guests.
There was a native tree giveaway, bicycle safety check up and a lamp exchange. People could exchange their old 300-watt halogen floor lamp and their PG&E bill for a new energy-saving version for free. The Union Sanitary District hosted a pharmaceutical disposal and mercury thermometer exchanges.
There were also activities for children such as a puppet show and arts and crafts. Guests were also invited to vote for Earth Day fair posters designed by Kennedy and Washington High School students. Finalists included students from Washington, juniors Steven Lee and Cheng Tan.
The fair was a way for the city, high schools, non-profits organization and the county to provide event-goers with educational outreach about local programs or how to get involved in various environmental topics. It emphasized the importance of giving back to the planet.
"The planet provides water, air and so much more for us. We should be thoughtful in return on how we are impacting those resources that we so readily rely on," Kincaid said.
