Major funding announcement made at Habitat for Humanity Seattle/South King County's High Point neighborhood
SEATTLE (Dec. 17, 2008)—Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced more than $26 million in Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity (SHOP) grants to three nonprofit housing organizations. Habitat for Humanity International will receive more than $13 million to help build affordable housing across the country. Local community leaders and HUD officials visited a Habitat site in West Seattle where the funding announcement was made.
"Even during these hard times, sustainable and responsible homeownership can be within reach for many families," said HUD Secretary Steve Preston. "With HUD's support and the sweat equity provided by these homebuyers and volunteers, we can help make this American Dream come true."
HUD's SHOP program encourages the development of housing using the sweat equity model and community-building efforts upon which the Habitat model is based, by helping with land acquisition and infrastructure development.
"We are honored that HUD chose to announce their ongoing support of self-help housing at our award-winning High Point neighborhood," said Marty Kooistra, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County. "Real impact comes from deliberate relationship-building and focused partnerships with the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Our relationship with HUD models the vision of 'everyone involved' in doing their part to make affordable housing a reality for those who may be struggling."
Habitat for Humanity has helped low-income families achieve homeownership across the United States. Habitat's method of building simple, decent houses in partnership with its homeowners has helped reduce costs and provide families with a greater personal investment and commitment to successful homeownership.
"Habitat is proud of its long history of working with HUD to make affordable homes possible," said Liz Blake, senior vice president of advocacy, government affairs and general counsel for Habitat for Humanity International. "This valued partnership has resulted in more than $78 million on Habitat infrastructure improvements since SHOP began in 1996. And to date, SHOP funding has lead to 12,228 completed Habitat homes for almost 46,000 people."
Habitat for Humanity will receive $13,250,000 to facilitate and encourage innovative homeownership opportunities through the provision of self-help housing. SHOP funds will be used to purchase land and make necessary infrastructure improvements, primarily in support of new construction. Completed housing units will be transferred to homebuyers who contribute a significant amount of sweat equity toward the construction of the unit—in addition to other volunteer labor. At least 762 Habitat homes will be made possible through this funding.
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1.5 million people. For more information, visit www.habitat.org [1].
Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County has provided 136 homes in partnership with diverse low-income, working families. A community-based, low-income housing developer, Habitat builds houses inexpensively, using primarily volunteer labor, and sells them at cost (at no profit and with no interest) to working families in Seattle and south King County.

The power of prayer is provoking a fight in faith.
"It belongs in the home, in the church, mosque, temple -- but it's not for staging in the public schools," said Jewish Federation Executive Director for Lee and Charlotte counties, Alan Isaacs.
He strongly opposes a new bill allowing students in schools to express their voice in prayer.
"I believe it's coercive, divisive, unconstitutional and incompatible with a child's public school education," said Isaacs.
If the bill becomes a local law, school districts would then be able to allow students to deliver inspirational messages during school assemblies. School staff would not be able to participate or get involved.
"You don't have to participate if you don't want to," explained Lee County school board member, Jeanne Dozier.
Dozier, along with some other religious leaders from Muslim, Jewish and other communities support the bill – on one condition.
"Maybe January is the Jewish month and February is the Christian month and so on. But as long as it doesn't become predominately one religion that's offering prayer," said Rabbi Elyssa Joy Auster of Temple Judea.
The bill has passed in the senate. It still needs to go before the house for a vote.

Thanksgiving side dish shuffle
View a printer-friendly version of this post
There are must-have dishes at every Thanksgiving meal, whether it be Aunt Emma's sweet potato casserole or Uncle Fred's buttermilk cake.
But there's always room on the table for an 'experiment,' a dish that just might be the beginnings of new traditions.
Perhaps one of these recipes will fit that bill.
Baked leeks with garlic, thyme and Parmigiano
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt
8 medium-large leeks (with several inches of white)
2 teaspoons lightly chopped fresh thyme
1 cup heavy cream
2 large cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan-Reggiano
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rub bottom of 10-by-15-inch rectangle dish with butter. Sprinkle 1/4 salt over bottom of pan. Cut dark green portion of all but about 1 inch of the light green off of the top of the leeks. Peel away tough outer leaves. Trim ends by cutting roots but leaving a bit of the base intact to hold the leek together. Cut each leek in half lengthwise. Wash under running water, fanning the layers open and rinse thoroughly. Pat leeks dry and arrange, cut side down, in baking dish. The leeks should fit snugly, but if crowded, turn some on their sides. Sprinkle thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt over leeks.
Heat cream and garlic in saucepan over high heat. As soon as cream comes to rolling boil remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour cream and garlic evenly over leeks. Cover leeks with a piece of parchment cut to fit inside the pan. Bake leeks until thickest ends are tender all the way through when pierced with a paring knife and cream is almost entirely reduced, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle leeks with Parmigiano and salt to taste. Bake just until the cheese melts, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer leeks to warm serving platter. Yield: 8 servings.

Artichoke Dauphinoise Potatoes
3 pounds Russet Idaho Potatoes
1 1/2 quart heavy whipping cream
2 each whole egg
2 cups artichoke heart, canned, drained, roughly chopped
1 1/3 cups fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon Juice (2 whole lemons)
4 Finely chopped Garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease large pan. Thinly slice peeled potatoes and place in cold water. In a large bowl mix together cream, eggs, artichokes, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in potatoes toss to mix completely. Pour into greased pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle top with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown and bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Yield: 12 servings.
Variation: Dauphinoise may be made in individual timbals. Grate potatoes instead of slicing. Place 1/2 cup mixture in 8 ounce mold and bake 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender and cooked. Cool slightly, unmold, sprinkle with cheese and broil before serving.

I took this beautiful display of Brussels sprouts and asparagus in October while shopping at Earth Fare. Here's a couple of recipes using these lovely green veggies.
Roasted Brussels sprouts
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons good olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt (I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.

Roasted Asparagus with Feta
2 1/2 pound medium asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 ounce feta (preferably French), crumbled (1/2 cup)
Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees.Toss asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper in a large shallow baking pan and arrange in 1 layer. Roast, shaking pan once about halfway through roasting, until asparagus is just tender when pierced with a fork, 8 to 14 minutes total. Serve asparagus sprinkled with cheese. Yield: 6 servings.

There are tons of sweet potato casseroles available on the internet, but I'm sharing this one after a reader called to request it. She had lost it when moving into a new home but said it was one of her family favorites.
Lemon sweet potato casserole
3 medium shredded peeled sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup skim milk
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (4-serving) package instant lemon pudding mix
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine all ingredients together in bowl and pour into 2-quart oblong casserole dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 our. Remove foil and continue cooking 20-30 additional minutes or until top is golden brown.

Fiery cinnamon cranberry sauce
1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries washed and picked through for stems
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 cinnamon sticks (try using Vietnamese cinnamon if available)
1 teaspoon grated cinnamon
1 hot pepper
Add sugar, water, cinnamon and pepper to sauce pan and bring to boil. Turn down heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add cranberries and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. Pour cranberry sauce into bowl and allow it to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

The Forbes 400 can cause mixed feelings: On the one hand, it makes generating massive wealth seem out of reach because the person sitting at number 400 on the list is worth $1.3 billion. On the other hand, the various businesses that have made these people rich make it clear that success can be found in the most unassuming places.

2.05/5 rDev -41.9%
Pale golden, bubbly lager with a thin and rapidly dissipating white head.
Aroma is sickeningly sweet malt and sweaty wheat like malt. Almost no hops aside from a touch of grass.
Taste is cloying and candylike in a sweet-tart kind of way. Bready.
Mouthfeel: Aggressively carbonated but way too sweet and unbalanced. Not pils like in any way, shape, or form.
Drinkbaility: Low. This is just too sweet with almost no hop presence.

3.38/5 rDev -4.2%
Thanks to busternuggz for sharing this one.
Pale golden in color with a serious lack of bubbles. Light corn in the aroma with a pleasing grassy hop note. The soft mouthfeel could be crispened up for refreshment purposes. A little corny in the taste with a mild bitterness. I'm not crazy about the aftertaste. All that in mind, it's not horrible and I would drink several of these outside on a hot day.

The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy hops with some bready malt. The flavor is hoppy, but the bread/toffee malt make the beer very well balanced. There is some grassyness in the flavor from the hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice, easy drinking balanced pilsner. Nothing too exciting, but a good beer to drink the hot months.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Golden with a slight haze, thin white head that lingered, no lacing on the glass.
Smell: Mild Malts, hops, and maybe banana.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth light to medium bodied. Taste of mild bitter hops and some grassy earthy notes.
Overall: This was an ok brew.

Pours pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet malt and floral hops. Taste is malty balanced with a nice noticeable hop biterness. Crisp and clean with a medium light mouthfeel. Carbonation is very prominant. Very drinkable, this is a great warm weather beer.

3.63/5 rDev +2.8%
Poured into a pint glass a golden straw color with a bubbly white head. Smells of a wheaty straw with hop fruits. Taste has a nice bite to it. Not so much a hop bite as much of a carbonated one. Aftertaste of noble hops and fruit notes. This is a very drinkable pils. I'm not much of a fan of the Pils because of the bitterness that is usually a trate, but this is a rather smooth Pils that makes it a easy drink.

(Served in a pokal)
thanks to mhewes for this brew.
A- This beer pours a crystal clear body of golden yellow with a swirl of tiny bubbles supporting a lumpy snow white head for a few sips.
S- The soft smell of fresh rain turns into raw grain with a very light sweetness to it. A soft sulfury gummi candy quality comes through the sweetness followed by a light musty green hop hint at the finish.
T- The flavor of pale malt and raw grain has a faint saltiness to it and a slightly sweet hint aswell. There is a light piney note of soft green that lingers becoming more bitter after the sip has ended.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a soft tight fizz note coming through as the beer warms.
D- This nice soft flavors are accented, not overpowered by, sulfury lager qualities, and there is a nice complexity and dry flavor that increases a bit as the beer warms slightly. This is a well built beer.

Light straw yellow colored beer with a light head that barely last through the pour. I expected a thicker head for this style of beer. Its also cloudy which isn't that bad, just a little distracting.
Smell is of malts and light nobel hops. Slightly citrusy and spicy in nature. Very mild scent but what is there smells fresh, clean and refreshing.
Taste is of sweet grains and slightly spicy earthy hops. An excellent carbonation joins forces with the mild hoppiness to give a good bite to the tongue. The body is a little weak and tastes slightly watered down.
Despite the mediocre taste its an easy drinking beer. Its refreshing enough to satisfy a parched palate and the medium to low ABV makes it one you can sip on for hours.

3.23/5 rDev -8.5%
Pours very light, looks like pineapple juice. Frothy, snow-white head rises and falls quickly to a longer lasting thin cap. A little hazy with visible carbonation bubbles rising at about a medium speed.
Scent is a mixture of fruits - pineapple, pear, and apple - and some leafy, ripe earthy tones. A little spice is hidden on the backside. A strong aromatic character to this brew.
A little sweet with a creamy, malty flavor and feel on the tongue. The carbonation is surprisingly subdued. The flavor is almost all sweet malt though. A touch of fruitiness hits the back of the tongue after a few sips. Not much complexity here. Just a little hint of hoppy bite on the aftertaste.
Love the creamy feel of this one, but the flavor is too weak to want too many more of these. There's nothing that jumps out as undrinkable, but there's nothing particularly desirable either. Average.

Pours light gold, with a pretty modest head that lasts as an good cap, supported by lively and streaming carbonation.
Aroma is mild, not too hoppy, a little floral, earthy, maybe a touch of grain. In the mouth, a smooth with spritzy carbonation. Cooling. Grain pushes forward more, maybe with a touch of yeast, hops providing a nice complementary bitterness - some mineral notes, very slight sulfur, clean in the finish.
I could do with a bit more flavor, but no off tastes; this is true enough to style and one of the more refreshing pilsners I've had in a while.

Are you a parent looking for a child-friendly way to enjoy Halloween in Los Angeles? Then Ghost Train is for you! Check out our Los Angeles Live Steamers Ghost Train 2013 Review.
GHOST TRAIN UPDATES: Click Here
2013 GHOST TRAIN DATES: October 12-13, 18-20, 25-27, 30-31.
GHOST TRAIN HOURS: 7:00 to 10:00pm nightly.
GHOST TRAIN TICKETS: $10 (this tax-deductible donation funds the non-profit organization)
GHOST TRAIN PARKING: Free
GHOST TRAIN 2013 UPDATE: For this year, the Los Angeles Live Steamers have added even more decorations, including additional video projection effects, creating a wonderfully elaborate series of enjoyably spooky Halloween displays.
GHOST TRAIN HISTORY: The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum has been presenting their "Ghost Train" since Halloween 2001. Supported by train enthusiasts, the non-profit corporation runs their 7 1/2-inch gauge model trains on Sundays year-round. Each Halloween, the path around the tracks is decorated with approximately 30 spooky scenes.
Originally, a ride on the Ghost Train was somewhat akin to a twenty-minute drive past a few dozen well decorated yard haunts, featuring decorations, lights, and static props but few effects and little if anything scary: lots of colorful lights, Jack O'Lanterns, skeletons, giant spiders, scarecrows, and a Grim Reaper or two. Starting in 2011, however, the Live Steamers began using digital projection to provide eerie effects. With ever more elaborate mechanical props, The Ghost Train morphed into something resembling a demented Disneyland, filled with with more than enough Halloween magic to appeal to haunt-goers of all ages.
GHOST TRAIN SCARE FACTOR: Is it scary? In the old days, definitely not, but now? Perhaps ever so slightly. The Ghost Train is still more fanciful than frightening, but the newer figures are more lifelike; their movements and voices could invoke a tiny spark of fear in the most easily intimidated trick-or-treaters.
Still, there is nothing really disturbing, nothing that will instill nightmares. There are no costumed actors yelling "Boo!"; though a few props are rigged to pop up unexpectedly, nothing jumps out at you or tries to grab you. You're safe.
Bottom Line: Parents who want to avoid more intense Halloween attractions should bring their children here. Adult Halloween fans will enjoy the displays as well, even if they do not have children.
GHOST TRAIN REQUIREMENTS: The ride is ideal for child-sized riders, but adults can manage if they do not mind squatting down on the tiny trains for the approximately 20-minute duration. Riders must be at least 34 inches tall and not weigh over 350 pounds. Riders under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
GHOST TRAIN PARKING PROBLEM: Not so much problem as confusion. The official address for the Los Angeles Live Steamers is 5202 Zoo Drive in Griffith Park, but the entrance gate for this address is closed at night. The Ghost Train's dirt parking lot is perhaps a quarter mile east. This is a dark road in the middle of Griffith Park with few cross streets and almost no street lights, but you will see the lights, artificial fog, and customers when you reach the miniature train area.

Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. How have research libraries chronicled the lives of African American students on campus? What are the subject headings and finding aids for student organizations, dissertations, sororities and fraternities, or oral histories? What factors (procedure, personnel, Alumni groups) have impacted the inclusion of materials in library collections?
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. How do university faculty members in the music department use the library's online catalog (OPAC) to find music materials for themselves or for their students? Interviews, done in February 2012, of four performance faculty members from the University of Maryland School of Music reveal the wide range of materials they search for, and the limitations of the system in being able to find like items in different formats. Faculty members' assumptions of the capabilities of a search provide insight into possibilities for how OPACs can be re-designed or re-configured for more accurate hits and better discovery of similar items.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. Like many other academic libraries, East Asian libraries face tough financial decisions on how they allocate their resources in this time of financial restraints, while fulfilling the library's ultimate mission of supporting teaching and researching. This study was conducted in light of escalating cost of electronic resources in East Asian languages. By analyzing 5-year (2007–2011) statistical data obtained from 32 East Asian libraries in North America, this study explores what portion of a library's total materials expenditures are dedicated to eresources and how fast its e-resources expenditures have been growing over the past five years.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. With rapidly changing technology, more and more libraries are building digital collections and shifting focus to online discovery environment. More and more resources are published in electronic format, which leaves libraries with less and less physical material to catalog and process. Cataloging practice is experiencing big changes as we respond to the new trends of digitization, multiple metadata standards, outsourcing, batch processing, next-generation catalogs, and new standards and concepts for information organization. This research intends to explore new trends and future outlooks and plans in the cataloging practice of libraries of all kinds.

Deliberations over library collections will have no end. Balancing serial and monograph investments, assessing the latest digital format, anticipating new directions in teaching and research—this large undertaking resists all formulas. The Task Force on 21st-Century Research Library Collections defers for detail to the expertise that is spread so impressively across ARL libraries, seeking here to give a big picture of collections: to describe not everything on the map, but the general landscape we face today. This issue brief, published in 2012, is the final report of the task force.

An Image submission shall be void if it includes any material that is inappropriate for display on J!NX's website, including but not limited to profanity, violence or nudity, patently offensive content (in J!NX's sole determination), or which, in the judgment of J!NX or its attorneys, might subject J!NX or J!NX's Licensors or J!NX's Licensees to unfavorable regulatory action, violate any law, infringe on the rights of any Person, or subject J!NX or J!NX's Licensees or J!NX's Licensors to liability for any reason.

3. Our Right to Use Your Work and Information About You.
- Entries, Images, and other submitted material become the property of J!NX for 30 days from the time of submission.

If J!NX, in its sole discretion, chooses not to utilize the entry, image, or other submitted material for a product within 30 days of its submission, at such time ownership of the entry, image, or submitted material, including any copyright, shall revert back to you, with J!NX reserving the right to use such materials on its website and in marketing materials.
- By submitting an Entry, you grant to J!NX and its affiliated companies the right, except where prohibited by law, to use your name, likeness, picture, address (city and state), voice, submission/Entry and written or oral statements, for advertising and promotional purposes in promoting or publicizing J!NX and its products or services, without compensation unless required by law. You shall have no right of approval, no claim to compensation, and no claim (including, without limitation, claims based on invasion of privacy, defamation, or right of publicity) arising out of any use, blurring, alteration, or use in composite form of your name, picture, likeness, address (city and state), or entry. The rights granted under this paragraph shall extend to J!NX and its affiliated companies with respect to all entrants in the Contest, including those entrants who are selected as Winners and those entrants who are not selected as Winners. J!NX is under no obligation to use the winning Entries for any purpose.
- The information that you provide in connection with the Contest may be used for J!NX's internal purposes, to monitor and ensure the fairness and validity of the Contest, and to send you any prize won, but will not be provided to third parties without your consent, except as necessary for the administration of the Contest or as required by law or legal process.
4. Selection of Winner(s)/Prize(s).
- Winners will be determined in a two-part process:
- In the first part of the selection process, all valid Entries will be judged by J!NX on the basis and percentages of the following criteria: creativity (50%), reflection of the J!NX lifestyle (50%). A "Qualified Entry" is an Entry that receives a minimum score of at least 70 out of a possible 100. The decision of the judge shall be final and binding in all regards.
- Qualified Entries will be posted in the "Design Arcade" section of Jinx.com upon approval. Qualified Entries will be called "Finalists." Selection as a Finalist will be rewarded with 250 J!NX EXP (http://www.jinx.com/gold_and_exp.aspx). In the second part of the selection process, registered members at Jinx.com may vote on the Finalists. Voters may assign each Finalist a whole number score of 1 to 5 points. Each registered member may vote for each Finalist only once, though registered members may change their votes at any time until the end of the Voting Period. Average point totals will be used as a guide in determining if an Entry will be used. Prize will only be awarded and Winner declared if J!NX decides to use Entry on a product.
- J!NX will take efforts to assure the fairness and integrity of the voting process for all entrants. J!NX reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any votes that it determines, in its sole discretion, to have been cast by fraudulent means or in an attempt to unfairly influence the outcome of the voting, including but not limited to the registration of multiple member accounts by the same person, or that are generated or entered by non-human means, such as by a software script, robot, or other means. J!NX will maintain certain identifying information regarding voters, including the member account name and IP address of the computer from which the votes were cast. J!NX will maintain this information solely for the purposes of maintaining the integrity of the voting process, and will not be provided to third parties without the consent of said party, except as necessary for the administration of the Contest or as required by law or legal process. J!NX will also use "cookies" to help eliminate multiple votes from the same individual.
- The Winner will be notified by telephone, mail, and/or email, and will be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility within thirty (30) days of notification. The information in each Winner's Affidavit of Eligibility must be correct and must be identical to the information provided in Winner's Entry or the Winner will be disqualified. If a Winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim a prize, fails to return the completed and executed documents required above, if a prize is returned as undeliverable or if a Winner fails to comply with any of the provisions of these rules, such Winner's prize will be forfeited.
- The Winner will receive $750 USD and a $250 USD J!NX Gift certificate for use at Jinx.com. The estimated retail value of said prize is $1000 USD. Taxes, fees and all other charges, if any, are the sole responsibility of Winner. Please allow at least 6-8 weeks for prize delivery. J!NX may, but is under no obligation to, use the Finalists' or Winner's Entries for any purpose.
- By accepting the prize, the Winner releases and discharges J!NX, affiliated companies and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, and all their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives and agents from any liability or damage due in whole or in part to the award, acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize or from participation in this Contest. J!NX reserves the right to substitute a comparable prize of like or greater value for any prize, or to pay winners a cash equivalent, for any reason.
- If, for reasons beyond J!NX's control (including, but not limited to, tampering or computer virus infection), the Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, J!NX, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel or modify the Contest, without liability.
- All taxes (including, but not limited to, income taxes) are the sole responsibility of winners. Prize winners (and parent(s) or guardian(s) of prize winners under 18) may be required to execute (and have notarized) an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release and Copyright Ownership Agreement, and/or a Publicity Release (the "Affidavit/Release") which must be returned to and received by Sponsor within thirty (30) days from winner's receipt of the Affidavit/Release. Winners may also be required to send a copy of their passport, driver's license or birth certificate as proof of age and residency. Non-compliance with any of these requirements may result in disqualification, in which case an alternate winner may be chosen. Return of prize, prize notification, Affidavit/Release as undeliverable will result in disqualification and an alternate winner may be selected. All entrants agree to comply fully with each provision in these Official Rules. Any person attempting to defraud or in any way tamper with this Contest and any person who does not comply with these Official Rules, will be ineligible for any prize(s) and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
5. Issues of Law.
All Federal, state and local laws and regulations are applicable. THE CALIFORNIA COURTS (STATE AND FEDERAL) SHALL HAVE SOLE JURISDICTION OF ANY CONTROVERSIES REGARDING THE CONTEST AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHALL GOVERN THE CONTEST. EACH ENTRANT WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THOSE COURTS AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. The Contest is void where restricted or prohibited by law.
6. Your Release of J!NX From Any and All Liability.
Entrants agree that Contest Entities shall not be liable for losses or injuries of any kind resulting from: (i) acceptance/possession and/or use/misuse of prize(s), (ii) participation in the Contest, (iii) individual, joint or collective technical malfunctions of the telephone network and/or transmission line, computer on-line system, computer dating mechanism, computer equipment, hardware and/or software, or (iv) any delay or distortion of an Entry resulting from data transmissions that are garbled, incomplete, misdirected, lost, mutilated, delayed, corrupted, mechanically duplicated, illegible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules.

Entrants also agree that the Contest Entities are not responsible or liable for any injury or damage to an entrant's or third person's computer related to or resulting from the Contest, the Entries and/or its prizes.

Perfect Combo of Comfy + Cool
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our time in this house. It's a perfect combination of super comfortable + Austin cool - in great South Austin location. Easy access to Ben White (route 71/290) so you can get most places quickly. Since we stayed for two months, we used every inch of the house -- from the comfy screened in porch to the smart kitchen to the tidy laundry room. The high ceilings made it feel super spacious -- and the character of the old house (transom windows, wood floors) gave it such a nice feel. And add the super comfy beds and the jacuzzi tub: heaven! We also used the sleeping cottage regularly -- it was and extra little quiet retreat. Brooke (at Emerson) took excellent care of us too! At the end of our stay, no one was ready to leave!
High grades for this spacious and lovely property
We weren't at all familiar with Dallas and we hit the jackpot with this beautiful guesthouse. In reading the offering we thought that "Uptown" simply meant uptown. Not so. Uptown is a beautiful neighborhood of new and attractive buildings mostly home to young professionals. The tapas restaurant just next door to the guesthouse was excellent for wine and dinner. Many other fine restaurants are within safe walking distance. Free parking was available right across the street. Kay, the owner, who was the decorator for this 5 star guest house arrived each morning with a gourmet breakfast. Normally this is served on the private patio but our mornings were cool so we opted to eat inside. A Kuerig coffee maker is provided for guest use and a small refrigerator is filled with soda and juices for which there is no additional charge. Kay and her husband were very gracious and helpful during our 2 day stay. We just wish we lived closer to this very special place so that we could visit often. A final note: a hotel suite equal to this property would run over $500. per day.

Seder Day Food Dilemma
10 Matzo-Free Suggestions
Most Rabbis agree that after sunrise on the first Seder day, and until the Seder begins, the halacha (Jewish law) is that one must not consume any baked matzo or matzo meal products. So, the question is what should we eat – NO chometz, No matzo products?
We have recently discovered kosher for Passover gluten free Lieber's Yum Yum Crackers—looks like crackers, tastes like crackers but made with no matzo products. These will work perfectly for Seder day.

Rule Updates
Following the 2012 changes to the FEI Vaulting rules the National Vaulting Committee (NVC) put together a small working group to undertake a full review of the Australian Vaulting Rules. They consulted with Vaulters, Coaches and Officials to create a draft and the draft was presented to the National Committee at their August meeting 2012. Following approval from the NVC National Vaulting Rules are now available to view below. The rules will take effect from 01 January 2013. A review of these rules will be undertaken in July 2013.
The Vaulting Judges Group - Structure and Roles
The judges group is a loosely structured group consisting of all active Vaulting judges in Australia. One judge per year is nominated as the judge communicator, this position is designed to filter information to and from the rest of the group, however to date there has been limited success in developing this role. The main contact email for this group is email@example.com
The main activity of the group is a forum held annually and rotating between hosting states. Participation in the forum is mandatory at least once every two years in order to maintain judge accreditation. The forum is an opportunity to share key learnings, discuss priorities within the sport, and to 'tune' each other's scoring and judging techniques in an effort to encourage consistency.
The next Judges forum is being held in February 2013, in Sydney.
Within the main group there is a judge's assessor/mentor sub group. These judges are responsible for the training and development of new judges through the judge's curriculum and assessment processes set by EA. As these judges are also the most senior, they also act as mentors and guides to newer judges.
Over the past 12 months, a subcommittee has been reviewing the alignment of the Australian Vaulting Rules with the latest edition of the FEI rules and guidelines. A revised Australian Vaulting Rules was developed for review and endorsement of the NVC late in 2012.

Adult workshops
Rhythm workshop (October 2012)
This day was led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Baluji Shrivastav who introduced participants to the joys and intricacies of classical Indian rhythms. the day was attended by composers, teachers, drummers and instrumentalists. One participant wrote afterwards
"Ever since I left the workshop, I've been parsing every piece of music I hear in terms of 'ta takita takita'... What a fantastic day, thanks so much for organising this."
Open Spaces (October 2010 and 2011)
A day for blind and partially sighted adult musicians exploring the Royal Opera House, its spaces and acoustics and creating music inspired by listening to an open rehearsal.

The Music Party (September 2011)
Inspired by a painting of the same name, the Handel House Museum welcomed blind and partially sighted musicians to discover the house, learn more about the instruments Handel played and create their own music.
Comments from participants included:
"I thought we got one step closer to the composer through the unique opportunity of feeling the history and creating our own live work and hope this series can develop."
"It is immensely valuable to have taylor-made days such as this, when hands-on approach is definitely allowed, and you don't feel like an exhibit yourself if you want to look at the design of the furniture or even the windows. There are so many things in museums you can't get anywhere near … but special permission to touch when the public are trying to look can lead to a certain feeling of self-consciousness. I learned more about Georgian architecture by just getting more hands-on than I could anywhere else. … The small group size is also a bonus. The descriptions of artwork and the décor of the house also helped to build up a picture of the life of Handel (applicable to anybody else) and understand the context of the music we all know… A much valued opportunity to learn. Thank you."
Searching the Stave (April 2010)
An exhibition held at RNIB for partially sighted musicians and those supporting them with mini presentations given by producers of hardware and software, music lighting and RNIB's Music Advisory Service on producing modified stave notation.

A Knight's Quest (June 2012 and May 2011)
A family workshop organised jointly between the Wallace Collection, the Wigmore Hall and RNIB.
Comments from parents included:
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for such a great time and for organizing these events. S now feels that he is not the only one who can not see very well and that he can learn and share with other children with similar needs. As a mother, meeting other parents who are in similar circumstances, talking and sharing ideas is just fantastic."
"As a parent I would like to say that I consider these events invaluable, socially and educationally."
"We as parents had a great day, and found it really good. It gave a good opportunity for us to talk to the other parents as this is the only event where we mix with sight impaired children in an informal setting."
"This is the third Wigmore Hall event that we have been on and each has been as excellent as the last. The chance to make music in a group is quite rare and to be able to do so in such great surroundings with such brilliant musicians makes it all the more special. We can see the impact these days have on our children throughout the year, as they are able to remember being on stage or working in a group and can use the experience to grow their confidence in other areas. More than just a learning day though, the RNIB music events are also just jolly good fun and we always look forward to the next one."
Voices from the Street (April 2011)
A workshop exploring some of Handel's music and the sounds he may have heard from his windows, led by Kerry Andrew, Composer-in-Residence at the Handel House Museum.

Braille Music bonanza (April and October 2009)
As part of the Louis Braille bicentenary celebrations, the Music Advisory Service ran two workshops for young blind musicians using braille music. The second was held at the Salvation Army, Regent Hall and included a lunchtime concert given by the tutors and a concert given by the participants.
Comments from the participants included:
"When you first start out no matter how hard you find learning braille music keep on trying and trying. It has already begun to change my life in the way I look at music. Before I started learning braille music, I did not know a thing about music. When people talked about crotchets, quavers and minims, I had no clue what they were on about, but now I have started learning braille music, all that has become clear to me. I am on the way to a different life thanks to braille music. So keep on trying, keep on struggling until you can read braille music and sing at the same time!"
"This is just a note to say a big thank you for the Braille Music Day. I really enjoyed the day and meeting all the other participants. It was interesting listening to the others play and seeing what can be achieved. I was very impressed. It was great fun playing on a grand piano in such a lovely hall, but I have to admit it did make me feel quite nervous! I hope there will be more braille days to come."

Driver pleads guilty in Ohio hayride crash
SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) - A northern Ohio man faces up to eight years in prison over a hay ride accident that injured 28 people last year.
Investigators say Michael Hermes (HERM'-ess), of Sandusky, had been drinking and was operating a tractor pulling several wagons when he drove off the road.
Hermes pleaded guilty last week to assault and operating a vehicle under the influence. He'll be sentenced in January.
State Highway Patrol troopers say there were open alcohol containers at the scene of the October 2011 crash.
Some of those injured had broken bones while others were just shaken up.

Delivering on a promise made after the vote, Elkhart Mayor
Dick Moore says he has vetoed a hotly debated sewer fee ordinance.
Elkhart Council passed the ordinance last week after a two hour-long debate.
Under the ordinance passed by the Council, sewer customers outside the city limits would pay a 15%
fee on top of what those inside Elkhart
city limits pay.
In a release, Mayor
Moore says the city's attorneys have determined the ordinance to be illegal,
invalid and unenforceable. The release also says the Mayor doesn't believe it
is in the best interest of commercial interests and industrialism inside the
city, nor fair to city taxpayers.
Mayor Moore had submitted
a plan to charge people outside of the city 35% of their property value for
sewer service, which the Council rejected.
Without a new ordinance,
a fee of 75% remains in effect.
In Friday's release, the
Mayor says he is already working on yet another proposal. The Mayor also says
plans to annex companies who are already connected to the system are already in
place. Once annexed, sewer users would no longer have to pay the additional

If one adds light/contrast to moon footage, he/she will see much, much more. While the view might not be finite, it's good enough to see structures, forms, pathways, height, dept, and abnormal lighting that denotes an intelligent presence.
Using Google... I found this massive moon monolith and other alien structures. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.

it looks to me to be a gient sculpture of the head of a cocker spanial
While I do believe in moonbases after viewing stuff from other sources, i find it hard to believe in this one. There is something there but it was smudged over.
It appears more like a photoshop smudge job than something actual.
so is there a certain point in the youtube with the 'massive monolith' in it? I dreamed last night that a bunch of people were looking intently through a telescope up at something in the sky...
The moon's light being reflected sunlight makes the luminous light especially magical.
And the presence of human and other types of beings are surely showing up, from the structures they put together there.
Gee... I wish this guy had a powerful telescope.....I wonder if places like
Griffith Park Observatory would allow people to "rent" the telescope for an
hour or two.. they could make a little extra income and we could could get
a clear shot at what is on the moon.
reminds me of egypt I had a dream mercury had structures too

How a party for an indie fighting game showed me the bright future of gaming culture
Two weekends ago I was invited to a small shindig to check out some indie games including the awesome-looking indie fighting game, Divekick, which Ben had made me positively salivant for earlier this year, and I was excited for the chance to play it for myself.
The event was being hosted by Max Temkin, creator of the runaway hit Cards Against Humanity, a comedy card game which every PAX-goer is very likely familiar with at this point.
It was being held in a somewhat shabby, rundown building with scuffs and scrapes as the only decoration on the walls, no furnishings, and one giant plasma screen TV around which a couple dozen people would crowd to cheer on Divekick competitors while discussing the game's unique two-button controller, art style, writing and strategy.
Hip people with scarves and hats mingled freely with others in comparatively shabby yet-still-somehow-cool clothing.
And the beards. Good heavens, the beards. I have a beard, but in the face of such beards, what I have could not rightly be called a beard. I am a pretender.
"Cool" people surrounded me on all sides, sipping locally brewed Revolution beer from red cups and discussing game design.
When I saw the beer, that's when it hit me. I've been here before. Not in this same building, but I've been to this show, although it wasn't a video game in front of the crowd. It was an up-and-coming local band. Or a small art gallery. Or a poetry reading.
This was that same scene except I was discussing the learning curves of Divekick vs Street Fighter instead of pretending to be interested in a punk band.
This whole experience forced me to start wondering: am I suddenly cool? Did the wave of time change my social standing?
After all, there I was mingling with the mightiest beards in the city of Chicago, attending a dingy art show just like a cool person might. And I didn't even have to feign interest, this was a scene I was invested in. I fit in.
Software development by starving artists
More and more I hear stories about things that I'd normally assume were the province of traditional artists. I hear reports of game developers living together in artist houses, or struggling with artistic inadequacy, and it reminds me that gamers' best days are ahead. We're struggling with the happy problems of the indie scene truly growing up.
I'm the brand of nerd that almost compulsively thinks about the future. I love to imagine what things might be like 30+ years down the road. Not in a fantastical, colonizing-the-galaxy sort of way, but in a functional and realistic way. When I can see the future developing in front of my eyes at events like that underground game demo it's an inspiring moment that makes me wonder.
One day the Baby Boomer generation will be gone, and we will inherit culture itself. We're already taking pieces of it as gamers and game designers continue to age. What will that world look like when its most respected elders grew up on Mario Kart?
There's precendent for that too. Just look at what happened with comic book culture once the children of the Bronze Age, roughly 1970 to 1985, of comics reached a certain age. Americans have now elected a presidential administration that has referenced Star Wars not once, but twice.
I look forward to a day when not only has gaming's generation aged to fill the indie artist scene, but when we're rich snobs lusting after rare pieces (imagine what Chain World will be worth if it surfaces in 30 years,) and politicians referencing games in an effort to connect with the common voter.
This party gave me a vision of what the future will be like for video gamers: pretty much the same as the past except with far more video games. I look around today and I see older people sit around the coffee table to play Ups and Downs or Charades. These games seem boring to us, but they play them because they're a common language that everyone can relax and understand easily.
I can't wait for the day when the games that we can all relax and understand in our retirement are Settlers of Catan, Street Fighter, and Super Mario Kart. When I think about it that way, aging into retirement doesn't seem so bad. It sounds kind of amazing, actually.

The Charlotte Bobcats didnt engage in many pre-draft workouts this spring, which left plenty of time for the front office to work the phones.
According to general manager Rich Cho, they could potentially trade up from the No. 4 overall pick in the NBA draft, trade back from No. 4, exchange the pick for multiple picks or just execute the pick around 8 p.m.
There are definitely possibilities, added president of basketball operation Rod Higgins. Were always talking to everybody in the league.
The most likely scenario seems that they would stay at the No. 4 spot and take one of seven players: Nevada-Las Vegas forward Anthony Bennett, Maryland center Alex Len. Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore, Kentucky big man Nerlens Noel, Indiana guard Victor Oladipo, Georgetown forward Otto Porter, Jr., or Indiana forward Cody Zeller.
With Cleveland, Orlando and Washington picking ahead of the Bobcats in that order at least three of the above players would be available when Charlotte picks.
The consensus around the NBA is theres no big difference between any of those seven. Cho concurred.
Theres not a standout guy like last year, with Kentuckys Anthony Davis going first, Cho said.
Cho reiterated at a media briefing Wednesday that the Bobcats should draft the best player, rather than concern themselves with who is already on the roster. It went unsaid that after going 28-120 the past two seasons, no one on this roster is irreplaceable.
Asked about this teams needs, Higgins said, Our core is young. Our defense has got to get better. Perimeter shooting has to get better.
Added Cho, Shooting, rebounding and we need to add depth.
As far as these seven candidates, Noel, Len and Zeller could address the rebounding concern. McLemore and Bennett would be the best offensive threats. Oladipo is considered an elite defender. And Porter is probably the most complete player of the bunch.
The Bobcats got to work out only one of them. Zeller came in about a week ago, along with several lesser talents, mostly from area colleges. Noel, Bennett and Len couldnt work out due to recent surgeries. Porter passed because his agent, David Falk, doesnt see Porter lasting past No. 3.
McLemore and Oladipo didnt come to Charlotte, apparently because they would only agree to audition individually.
Our philosophy is if youre going to work out for us, youll work out against other players, Cho said. Some guys wanted to do one-on-zero workouts. Our philosophy is we want to see guys compete, not just shoot jumpers.
The Bobcats interviewed all of these players, either in Charlotte or at the draft combine in Chicago. Cho didnt seem concerned that lack of workouts would hinder their draft preparation.
If theres more information, youd love to have it, Cho said, but we had our scouts out (at games) all year.
The Bobcats have only one pick this year because their second-round pick (32nd overall) went to the Oklahoma City Thunder to complete the Byron Mullens trade. But Cho and Higgins both said they were exploring options to add another pick, either later in the first round or in the second.
