I enjoyed reading "Cricket Retrofit" (1/09) by
John Carroll; we also receive calls about improper or
nonexistent chimney flashings. We add some extra measures to
ensure a leak-free chimney and have had great success.
At the chimney corners, we brake the copper and solder the
joint to make it watertight (see photo). When installing the
counterflashing, we make a continuous cut above the step
flashing parallel with the roof surface. We then brake a
continuous counterflashing for each side of the chimney and
once again solder the joints.
Finally, we waterproof the masonry surfaces to prevent water
infiltration through the brick or through cracks in the chimney
cap. Using a bug-sprayer, we seal the vertical surfaces with
Conpro Shield MX, an alkoxysiloxane-based water repellent
manufactured by Conproco. This helps keep out wind-driven rain
and reduces the effects of freeze-thaw cycles. We treat the
chimney cap with Geocel's Pro Flex, a clear brushable
coating that seals hairline cracks in the surface as well as
around the flue liner. These two waterproofing steps are easy
to do while you are already on the roof, and may prevent a

I enjoyed Mr. Carroll's article on constructing a
cricket, with its origami-like copper folding (1/09). However,
his use of stainless steel screws with the copper is bad
practice, since iron-based stainless steel is 3 on the galvanic
scale while copper is 6. At 7, lead (as the author correctly
notes) can live comfortably with copper, as their immediate
adjacency in the series indicates. The greater the distance
between the two numbers, the greater the electrolytic
corrosion. Although the dab of silicone on each stainless screw
might forestall the inevitable, physics suggests that any close
relationship between steel and copper is doomed for failure.
Good practice would be to use fasteners made of brass (a
copper-based alloy) or to solder, as recommended in
"Copper and Common Sense," which is holy writ on
anything about sheet copper.

I noticed that the drawing in the article "Adding to an
Existing Slab Foundation" (12/08) shows the vapor barrier
buried in the middle of 4 inches of sand. I also noted that the
author is in California, which brings to mind a document called
"Concrete Floor Problems," published at
buildingscience.com, in which the author, Joseph Lstiburek,
P.E., makes a good argument against using a sand layer between
a vapor barrier and a concrete slab — a practice he
claims is common in California because of the involvement of
soils engineers. He also argues that puncturing holes in a
vapor barrier (which the sand is intended to prevent) has no
effect on its performance.
Joe Parchesky, P.E.
Author Alon Toker responds: In fact, local practice is
changing in the direction that Mr. Lstiburek's article
recommends. The city of Los Angeles, for example, used to
require a layer of sand between the vapor barrier and the slab,
but no longer does. The county, however, still maintains this
requirement. Architects, structural engineers, and builders do
not typically make the call regarding the slab assembly; they
do so only when the municipality where the project is being
built has no input on the matter — which is a rare
I wanted to share my experience with one of your newer
advertisers, Advanta Bank. Until recently, they were a partner
with NAHB and regularly solicited NAHB members with credit card
offers similar to the ads running in the e-mailed JLCUpdate. In the NAHB solicitation, they promised
cardholders a fixed rate of 7.99 percent on carried
This card was targeted at smaller builders, and about two years
ago I signed up. I was very happy with their services and used
the card for most of my charge expenses. I gave a duplicate
card to one of my field employees to carry for his
For 18 months, I used the card and carried a balance, happily
paying the "fixed" interest rate of 7.99 percent
— always on time and never for the minimum. Then, a
couple of months ago, they raised my "fixed" rate
without explanation from 7.99 to 27 percent!
I assumed that it must have been a mistake and called customer
service when my statement arrived. They told me that they had
sent me a letter in the mail, separate from my statement, that
notified me that if I used the card after a certain date, I was
agreeing to the rate change. This letter must not have passed
the "junk mail" filter and did not register on my
When I asked for an explanation, they gave none and noted that
it was a business decision and did not necessarily reflect on
my actions as a customer. It became obvious to me that they
either wanted to fleece me or didn't want a small
—albeit profitable — builder as a client.
I am an avid JLC reader and have been a subscriber for
a few years. I would hate to see this happen to someone else
who gets caught by the "bait and switch" tactics of
Advanta. To my knowledge, they are no longer an advertiser or
partner with NAHB. I just mailed them a check to pay off my
balance and will be cancelling my account.
I understand that advertising is a precious commodity in this
precarious economic environment, but I thought it might be

Manufacturers that cater to the growing gluten-free consumer market increasingly are pursuing gluten-free certification for their products. This certification can provide the seal of approval some consumers want when selecting gluten-free food.
Three organizations the Gluten Intolerance Group's Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) currently certify products and companies as gluten-free.
The programs have different standards and test for different levels of trace gluten in the foods they certify.
The Gluten-Free Certification Organization, for example, tests foods to make sure they contain less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Gluten Intolerance Group Executive Director Cynthia Kupper reports that most products test lower than that, and some have no detectable gluten in them.
The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness program also tests foods to 10ppm.
The Celiac Sprue Association, meanwhile, requires foods to have less than 5ppm, a more stringent standard (less gluten is better, obviously), and also requires foods to be free of oats (even gluten-free oats).
In comparison, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's gluten-free label rules call for foods to contain less than 20ppm of gluten.
Programs Require Inspections, Ingredient Reviews
Manufacturers need to clear various other hurdles before receiving a program's seal of approval.
For example, the GFCO requires yearly certification, a process that includes a review of ingredients, product testing and a plant inspection. The CSA, meanwhile, performs facility inspections and product testing, and also reviews product packaging to make certain it's free of gluten ingredients and components.
The NFCA program, which the organization runs in conjunction with Quality Assurance International, requires product reviews, onsite inspections, testing and ongoing compliance activities, including random testing.
Once a manufacturer receives certification, the programs allow the products in question to display a seal of approval.
Applying for and receiving gluten-free certification from one of the organizations can cost a manufacturer money, since they're generally billed for the audits, facility inspections and testing required. Therefore, companies that seek this certification tend to be quite committed to serving the gluten-free market.
Trusting Certified Gluten-Free Foods
If a food carries a "Certified Gluten-Free" seal on its label, does that mean people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance can eat it safely?
Generally speaking, yes. If a manufacturer has gone to the trouble (and expense) of having its products certified gluten-free, it's very likely that manufacturer will adhere strictly to those gluten-free standards once the inspectors have gone home.
In fact, many of the manufacturers who go through the process and receive certification tend to be smaller organizations that cater specifically to those who cannot eat gluten. Many owners of these companies are celiacs or have people with celiac or gluten intolerance in their families, and so they're extremely motivated to provide safe food.
The programs do have different standards, so if you're easily glutened even by foods labeled gluten-free, you might want to consider sticking with products that display the Celiac Sprue Association's Seal of Recognition. Those products contain less than 5ppm of gluten.
Buying certified gluten-free products increases your odds of avoiding a reaction, especially if you're sensitive to extremely low levels of gluten. Of course, it doesn't guarantee you won't have a reaction it's only possible to test commercially for 5ppm of gluten, and some very sensitive people may react to less than that.
In practice, you should use certification as a guideline another tool by which you can judge potential new products. But in the end, always use your own body's reaction to the product as the final verdict on something new.

Patient Comments: Depression - Symptoms
What are your depression symptoms?
Comment from: jeanne marie, 45-54 Female Published: September 26
The positive thing about depression is that it can be treated. Yes, you do feel sad and low a lot of the time and for whatever reason depression came into your life don't wait a moment longer. Search for a doctor until you receive the help you need, whether it be with anti-depressants and/or cognitive behavior therapy- this helps you turn the negative feelings and thoughts into positive ones. Life is too short! Don't suffer any longer.
Comment from: Naomi Joy, 19-24 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 06
I feel sad and rejected and I can't concentrate in my studies. I find faults in all the people around me and I feel lonely and alone. I blame people around me for my sadness; I soak my pillow with tears. I leave my school for home and miss my lectures. I look moody all days and I don't answer my phone calls and avoid friends.
Comment from: Sugalady1000, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 25
Depression for me is stagnating. Routine activities such as eating, concentrating, cleaning, and showering are daily stressors that demand my mental capacity. I have been dealing with depression for as long as I could remember, and being sad is all I know. I used to think that it was a normal part of life. Learning about depression helped me realize that even though I have a good life, I have missed out on a lot in my lifetime.

Serves 4
The clay vessel in which the caramelized catfish cooks gives this dish its name, but you can use any pot large enough to fit all the fish in a single layer. Called ca kho to, the dish is typically eaten after a few days to allow flavors to develop. "Unfortunately, I don't have the patience to wait two or three days," explains author Andrew Pham, whose shortcut involves cooling the fish to room temperature, then reheating it at serving time. The fish contracts as it cools, then expands in the hot sauce. If you have time, refrigerate overnight and the next day add a bit of water and bring to a simmer before serving.

Police have arrested a 44-year-old Danbury, CT man who they say ignored a deputy's attempt at a traffic stop in Southeast by driving "at a high rate of speed" and crossing over the state line.
Jeffrey Lockhart, of South King Street, is facing misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment and third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, according to a statement released by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office Tuesday.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Lee made the arrest when Lockhart surrendered himself at the agency's headquarters in Carmel shortly after the incident. Lee tried to stop the defendant—who had committed several traffic violations on Route 22 before turning onto Milltown Road in Southeast—at about 4 a.m. Sunday, officials say.
"When the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop of the suspect vehicle, the driver fled from the deputy at a high rate of speed into the State of Connecticut," authorities said.
After the arrest, Lockhart posted $250 cash bail. Police released him pending a March 14 appearance in Southeast Justice Court.

Michael Achmeteli
Michael Achmeteli (Georgian: მიხეილ ახმეტელი, Mikheil Akhmeteli) (1895–1963) was a Georgian émigré scholar, an expert on Soviet agriculture and sometime chief of Wannsee Institut, the SS-controlled research institute of Soviet studies in Nazi Germany.
Born in Borjomi, south-central Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire, Achmeteli studied at the University of Kharkov between 1915 and 1917 and was sponsored by the government of the newly independent Georgia to continue his studies at the University of Jena in 1919. The Soviet takeover of Georgia precluded him from returning to his homeland. Achmeteli obtained a doctorate at Jena in 1925 and joined the Institute of Eastern Europe in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) in 1926. In 1937, the Nazi leadership transformed part of this institute into its own research institution located near Berlin, the Wannsee Institut. Achmeteli was made the director of this new institute. He was initially on friendly terms with Alfred Rosenberg and the authorities expected him to provide the expertise on Soviet economy. Under the pseudonym Konstantin Michael, he wrote a book on Soviet agriculture and forced collectivization.[1] He was dismissed as the chief of Wannsee Institut in 1940. During the World War II years, he chaired a Berlin-based Georgian National Committee, which focused on delivering Soviet Georgian POWs from the Nazi concentration camps through recruiting them into the Georgian Legion. After the war, Achmeteli settled in Munich and worked as professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University. He remained in opposition to the Soviet rule in Georgia and participated in the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations.[2][3]

A little over 2 weeks ago, the Israeli Activist group, New Profile, was raided, arrested, computers confiscated and members interrogated. My favorite part was when they were told they weren't to contact each other for 30 days. Then when 24 feminist organizations protested (from young women to grandmas of 80 and a few courageous men), eight of them were violently dragged into the police station and were put under arrest over night.
Journalists Beware
Gideon Levy, reporter for Ha'aretz, wrote the only print article on the issue (there were a couple articles on online mainstream news site, Walla [1, 2 Hebrew]), originally titled "Poets Beware":
"Yitzhak Laor, our best protest poet, may soon face arrest. On Independence Day eve he published a poem in Haaretz's literary supplement with the lines: "Perhaps shame prevents me from getting up to embrace my son / And warning him of those who want to enlist him." Arresting Laor for having written such lines may sound like fiction, but something similar has already happened…
Locking up three and a half million Palestinians in the occupied territories and denying them basic human rights has already undermined Israel's pretentions of democracy, but now dangerous cracks are appearing in our Jews-only democracy. They aren't new – they first appeared in the early years of independence – and now they're back. Those who make light of the recent arrests may soon find themselves dealing with a new regime instead of New Profile. "
What Levy didn't dare utter out loud, was that he himself may be in danger. Yesterday, Amira Hass, reporter for Ha'aretz, who's been living in Gaza, off and on, was arrested exiting the strip. She was immediately taken to interrogation, at the end of which, she was told not to go into Gaza for 30 days.
Just to clarify the situation: Hass is Ha'aretz's corespondent in Gaza. She lives there, in order to do her job (it was her choice, but Ha'aretz has been benefiting from her reporting, as a paper touting it's own Leftism). In order to get home, this time, she had to go via European aid ship. Her arrest isn't exactly top news at Ha'aretz (which never would have happened, had Ha'aretz actually had the Leftist values it claims to). Hass' case will be brought to court.
Citizens Beware
The law Hass violated is a martial law, "Major-General Directive" that was established in 1945 (before Israel was declared), by the British. It's an "emergency regulation" which, in effect, allows the Commander in Chief of the IDF to enact laws (from Wikipedia, limited by my translation):
"The aim of the directive, as stated in the law, is securing the public's safety, Israel's defense, maintaining public order, or suppressing an uprising, rebellion or riot. The directive will be given for the following reasons:
- Limiting peoples movements and closing an area;
- Prohibition of carrying certain objects;
- Limiting vocation or passing of information between people;
- On March of 2005, as part of the Disengagement, a Major-General directive was issued that prohibits the changing of one's place of residence to Gaza. [I'd just like to add a minor discrepancy: If living in Gaza is a crime, doesn't making Hass promise, she won't enter Gaza, seem superfluous? Kind of like making a serial killer sign a paper that he won't kill for 30 days... ]
- On July 13th of 2005, a Major-General directive came into force that closed in Gush Katif [settlement bloc in Gaza], and prevented entrance of Israeli citizens, who aren't it's permanent residents.
- On April 30th, 2007, The Peace Court in Jerusalem, found Mordechai Vanunu guilty of violation of 15 Major-General directives.
- In the Golan Hights, where there's a lack of military training grounds, the Major-General is permitted, under certain circumstances, to turn grazing ground into a military training firing range."
More fun facts about Major-General directive:
"Provisions in the regulations permit the establishment of military tribunals to try civilians without the right to appeal, prohibitions on the publication of books and newspapers, house demolitions, indefinite administrative detention, extensive powers of search and seizure, the sealing off of territories and the imposition of curfews."
Now, where's international law when you need it…

The Handmaid's Tale
Dystopia like you've never seen it.
From The Hunger Games to Bioshock to Star Trek, pop culture has tons of fantasy-filled visions of distant worlds that bear little resemblance to our own. But what if one of those fantasies suddenly came true in your lifetime?
With Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, you'll be thrust into a not-too-distant future that is ruled by a strict, totalitarian regime obsessed with the growing infertility of the human race. As the members of Atwood's society struggle to retain elements of the life that they once took for granted, we'll take a closer look at our own world and what we might be overlooking as well.
Get ready to get dystopian with Common Core-friendly activities and test tubes full of readings where you'll:
- define dystopian fiction and speculative fiction and situate The Handmaid's Tale within these genres.
- ask yourself: was Atwood trying to warn us, as a modern society, about something? Or is there another message?
- compare and contrast our modern society and events throughout history with that of the totalitarian reality in the novel.

Suspect in ex-commissioner's death found dead
Body of Manuel De Los Reyes Galeas found near site where body of Tommy Shearrer was found
ATASCOSA COUNTY, Texas - The man suspected in the shooting of death of former Atascosa County Commissioner Tommy Shearrer has himself been found dead, officials say.
The body of Manuel De Los Reyes Galeas, 19, was found Friday in a dry creek bed about a half-mile away from where's Shearrer's body was found.
Sheriff's investigators said Shearrer, 56, was found shot to death in his pickup truck Wednesday morning on Farm Road 3006 near Saint Augustine.
A murder warrant was obtained Wednesday night for Galeas (pictured above) and massive manhunt was undertaken to find him.
Between 30 and 35 Sheriff's investigators on horseback combed the area near where Shearrer's pickup was found.
Atascosa officials said all indications point to Galeas having shot and killed himself sometime after Shearrer's slaying on Wednesday afternoon.
Officials Friday said that Shearrer had probably pulled over to help Galeas after the teen was involved in a car crash.
Galeas had fled an earlier scene where he allegedly shot at his girlfriend and Shearrer had maybe offered him a ride, investigators said.
"Maybe it was under a false pretext on where they were going," said Atascosa Sheriff's Deputy Sheriff David Soward. "At some point in time, something happened and Mr. Shearrer was shot and killed."
The case will now be closed, pending some paperwork.
"You always want closure to a case but it's just a reminder of how sensless this murder was," Soward said. "There was no need to take Mr. Shearrer's life."
Atascosa County Sheriff's investigators and the Texas Rangers are still trying to figure out how and where Galeas encountered Shearrer (pictured below).

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel had asked the court in February to suspend Wendy Elswick's law license for three years, but Elswick contested the suspension.
The court ordered her license suspended for two years.
The opinion also requires that she submit to a mental health evaluation, undergo 12 hours of continuing education in legal ethics, and pay the costs of the court proceedings.
If Elswick is reinstated, she'll be on probation for two years.

A map of exhibitors will be available for folks who want to see these homes. Come by our laboratory at 3720 Spectrum Blvd.(adjacent to the USF campus at the intersection of Fowler Ave. and Spectrum Blvd.) to pick up the map. We ask that you register your contact information with us at that time, so as to help us protect our volunteer exhibitors. You will also receive a free "Get Started" guide provided by the Americal Solar Energy Society.
This is the second year that CERC has hosted the Tampa Bay region's leg of the national event. The tours introduce communities to solar technologies and other alternative energies.
The national event is organized and coordinated by the American Solar Energy Society. This event offers you the opportunity to tour innovative green homes and buildings to see how you can use solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies to reduce monthly utility bills and help tackle climate change. More than 160,000 participants will visit some 5,500 buildings in 3,200 communities across the U.S.

By FELICIA KRIEG
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The treasurer of the Saranac Central School Booster Club admitted to stealing an excess of $20,000 from the club's accounts, police said.
Deborah A. Perry, 52, of Saranac was charged with two felonies: fourth-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records.
The Booster Club filed a complaint with police in January that led to Perry's arrest on Thursday, said New York State Police Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigator Trevor Giroux.
In an interview with Giroux earlier this week, Perry admitted stealing funds from the club for her own personal use, he said.
She said she starting taking the money in the early part of 2008, Giroux said.
Perry had been the club treasurer since 1996.
Giroux said the KeyBank account Perry had told the club she deposited money in did not exist.
"We basically discovered it as a group," Booster Club President Mary King said by phone Friday evening.
The details of the embezzlement came to light when members of the club "asked some questions about some changes" in the organization's accounts, King said.
As far as specific details of the investigation, she said, "I'm not really at liberty to speak of it."
Perry is in the process of repaying the money to the organization, State Police said in a press release.
"I hope the investigation itself doesn't leave anyone thinking negatively about the club," King said. "As a group, that's our biggest concern.
"We hope that people will still trust and support us in the future so we can help the kids."
The Clinton County District Attorney's Office is assisting State Police in the continuing investigation.
Perry was released on an appearance ticket for Saranac Town Court for 7 p.m. Monday.

Atlanta police say someone rammed a pick-up truck into a storefront on Edgewood Avenue in northeast Atlanta in an attempt to break into a hair extensions business early Tuesday.The incident happened shortly before 4 a.m. at Virgin Remy Hair Extensions, located in the 500 block of Edgewood Avenue, near Randolph Street and Auburn Avenue, in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. The vehicle crashed into the front entrance where the business had a large roll-down gate in place.The suspects appeared to have backed in the truck and, once inside, broke into an office on the premises.
One witness told police that a loud crash woke him from his sleep at this nearby home. He says he looked out a window to see a dark-colored truck lodged into the front of the store and could hear people packing items into the rear of the truck. He told police he saw the truck speed away, traveling north on Randolph Street.
Packages of hair weave could be seen strewn across the sidewalk and street outside of the business.Police have not confirmed exactly what was taken or the number of suspects involved.

PLATTSBURGH — This might have been the statement win the Plattsburgh State women's hockey team was looking for.
Down 2-0, the No. 1-ranked Cardinals (11-0-1) rallied for four unanswered goals en route to a 4-2 victory over No. 5 Norwich University (6-2-3) at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena Sunday afternoon.
After playing what head coach Kevin Houle said was one of their worst periods this season, Shannon Stewart put the Cardinals on the board with a backhand shot in the low slot with 11.6 left in the second period.
"That's a huge goal heading into the third period with some momentum, and it showed," Houle said. "We came out in the third and played with more intensity. We just had to come out of that hole we were faced with in the second period, and that goal helped.
"We made a couple adjustments, but the biggest thing was that we needed to start winning some loose pucks. It paid off, and it's a credit to the girls for going out and executing and getting the job done."
As if it were a tale of two periods, the Cardinals managed to control possession and win 50-50 battles on the boards. The result — Teal Gove punching home a trickling puck in the paint at 1:46 of the third to tie it.
Then, the unlikely happened.
Ali Vakos, in her first game for Plattsburgh since transferring from Connecticut College after the first semester, raced up the far-side boards on a breakaway and went top shelf on Cadets goaltender Kelly Fisk for the eventual game-winner.
"I think (Norwich) got caught on a change, but she was flying down the wing after coming off the bench," Houle said. "That was a great goal. She went upstairs on the shortside, and it was a great finish for her."
Mia Favretto provided the insurance goal with her first marker of the year just 51 seconds later.
With the victory, the Cardinals improved to 3-0-1 on the year when the opposing team scores first.
"We've been resilient all year, but I'd like to see us have more of a 60-minute effort," Houle said. "When you play a team like Norwich, they're as talented … if not the most talented team in the country, and they can really wind it up at times, which showed in the second period. We were fortunate to weather the storm."
Sydney Aveson was credited with the win, her eighth of the season, for Plattsburgh, fending off 16 of 18 shots.
After making her second career start in net and keeping the Cardinals off the board for the first 39:11 of play, Kelly Fisk was handed the loss.
The Cardinals sit at 11-0-1 on the year and are 6-0-1 in non-conference play.
The squad hosts a pair of ECAC West home games against Oswego State Jan. 12 and 13.

Minerva's Temple is a lower summit east of the Organ Needle. When viewed from the Organ Needle summit, it appears as a sharp east-west ridge, separated from the "retaining wall" (the fin of rock on the south side of dark canyon) by a prominent gap. As viewed from the east either from Aguirre Springs or the White Sands Missile Range, Minerva's temple appears to be it's own distinct peak, with a massive and steep Southern and Eastern faces.
Getting There
Routes on the impressive South and East faces are best approached from Aguirre Springs. There are no established trails for these approaches, but one recommended option is to use the Indian Hollow trail (the same approach trail as for Sugarloaf). Keep following the trail past Sugarloaf and all the way to it's end at a nice camp-ground. From here bush-whack your way up the ridge directly towards Minerva's Temple.

Cassandra Lennox has been a driving instructor at Pro Driving School in Westlake for more than six, teaching teens the rules of the road.
Lennox says now more than ever there are plenty of distractions younger drivers are faced with-- like cell phones and other technology.
"Collisions with young drivers are still at a major high. It's still the top killer for their age group," says Lennox.
An Ohio lawmaker wants to make it tougher for 16-year old drivers, banning them from having teen buddies in the car.
The proposed law would limit non family passengers in a teens car to licensed drivers 21-years old or older.
"When they have one friend in the car with them the likelihood of them crashing is even increased. I believe it's doubled when it's one," says Lennox.
With the proposed law the driving curfew would be pushed back from midnight to 10 p.m. Teens involved in work and school activities would be exempt from the proposed new night rules.
16-year old Juliana Rodriguez is taking classes so she can get her license.
"I don't agree with the teen passenger. I believe one is law now, and that's where it should be especially for school purposes," says Rodriguez.
Her father Rubin is not onboard with the proposed law.
"We tell them we want them to be independent and then we go and slap them with another law that they have to abide by," says Rubin Rodriguez.
According to the Insurance Institute proposed restrictions could reduce fatal crashes among teens by nearly 40%.
The bill would also require backseat passengers to wear a seat belt. No word on where that bill stands.

A federal appeals court has shot down the Illinois ban on carrying concealed weapons, in the only state where carrying loaded, ready-to-use firearms outside the home is still illegal.
The National Rifle Association's chief lobbyist in Illinois said gun-owners with Wild West-style, visibly holstered firearms could be striding through Chicago's Loop – not to mention every other corner of Illinois - by late May.
That was the deadline given Tuesday, by a three-judge panel on the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. By a 2-1 margin, they found the Illinois ban on carrying firearms outside one's home to be unconstitutional.
The court essentially said that the second amendment right to bear arms means more than just being able to possess a gun for self-defense in one's home. Instead, the right is a basic right to self-defense, and any reasonable interpretation of self-defense also means being able to carry a gun outside the home, where things are a lot more dangerous.
"A gun is a potential danger to more people if carried in public than just kept in the home," the majority opinion said. "But the other side of this coin is that knowing that many law-abiding citizens are walking the streets armed may make criminals timid."
While the NRA's goal in bringing the lawsuit had been to create a right to carry a concealed firearm in Illinois, lobbyist Todd Vandermyde said the end result could be far more sweeping. Unless the General Assembly - deeply divided over gun-related issues for so long now - can act quickly, the state could suddenly find itself with virtually no restrictions on gun rights.
"It's not a joke. We could end up with Wild West-style open carry and concealed carry," one legislator who has long supported severe restrictions on such gun rights said.
He said Springfield's gun control proponents had long feared the sort of sweeping federal court ruling that was issued Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for one of the state's leading gun control groups said lawyers were still analyzing the ruling. She said they would react later in the day.
12 years after nearly dying from a gunshot on the West Side, Gloria Muldrow insisted law-abiding citizens would not be safer if only they carried loaded guns.
"I still have to live with I have a bullet in my head. And I'm not too pleased about that at all," Muldrow says. "I'm afraid that it means more killing and more violence."
Gun rights advocates long have argued that the prohibition against concealed weapons violates the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, and what they see as Americans' right to carry guns for self-defense. This decision is a major victory for them.
The court majority on Monday agreed, reversing lower court rulings against a lawsuit that had challenged the state law.
"The Supreme Court has decided that the amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside," Judge Richard Posner wrote in the court's majority opinion. "The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense."
He continued: "Illinois had to provide us with more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety. It has failed to meet this burden."
The court ordered its ruling stayed "to allow the Illinois legislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion, on the carrying of guns in public," Posner said.
But the court did not open the door to immediate carrying of concealed weapons. The state has 180 days to come up with a plan to reasonably regulate such possession.
Gun control advocates said they would likely push for a law similar to one in New York State. It allowed local governments, such as in New York City, to impose additional restrictions of their own on granting concealed carry permits. New York City requires of showing of special need before a permit is granted. Such laws are called "may issue" because local officials decide whether permits should be granted.
Vandermyde said the NRA controlled enough votes in Springfield to block passage of any "may issue" law in Illinois. He said Illinois would have to adopt a "shall issue" law - one mandating that a firearms carry permit be granted to virtually everyone. The only exceptions would include felons and the mentally ill.
According to Vandermyde, the NRA would prefer no new law at all to one that left gun rights to the discretion of state and local officials. If no new law were adopted by the court's mid-May deadline, he said, Illinois would instantly transform from one of America's most restrictive gun-rights states to one of the most open.
Vandermyde claimed the court's ruling created a sort of "gun-rights cliff" similar to the so-called "fiscal cliff" in Washington, D.C. With the state's current gun law invalidated, failure to enact a new one would effectively free Illinois gun owners to carry loaded firearms in virtually any fashion, he said. They would need no training and would be subject to virtually no oversight, he said, needing only a state Firearm Owners Identification card.
The leader of the Illinois State Rifle Association praised the court's decision to strike down the gun ban, and said the state could have a new concealed carry law by early next month.
Richard Pearson said a bill has already been written by state Rep. Brandon Phelps of Harrisburg that includes provisions for background checks, field provisions and other issues. He said lawmakers could consider it in January if they wanted to.
"We are extremely pleased with the ruling," Pearson said. "Now that the court has ruled ... we will work as soon as possible with legislators to craft a concealed carry bill for the state of Illinois."
He said lawmakers could consider it and pass it during a weeklong legislative session in January if they wanted to.
Phelps said the appeals court action means "Christmas came early for law-abiding gun owners."
Phelps, a longtime chief sponsor of concealed carry proposals, recalled that, the last time the House voted on the issue, he had a specific warning for opponents: they might win in the General Assembly, but their cause was doomed in federal court.
Phelps said he would use the 180-day grace period granted by the court to reach out to Mayor Emanuel and other foes of concealed carry. He'll urge them to approve a new law that recognizes it as a right.
"My understanding is that if no new law is enacted (by the mid-May deadline) someone could walk down Michigan Avenue with an AR-15 strapped to their shoulder," Phelps said. "The mayor and the governor should have worked with us a long time ago."
In a statement released Tuesday, Congressman Joe Walsh joined Phelps in hailing the court ruling, calling it a "victory for Illinois residents."
Walsh has been on the front lines of the Second Amendment debate. In June, Walsh and three other Members of the Illinois delegation sent a letter to Governor Pat Quinn urging him to give residents their constitutional right to protect and defend themselves.
Gov. Pat Quinn's office is reviewing the decision, according to office spokeswoman Brooke Anderson. The Chicago Democrat has been in favor of strict gun control laws and proposed an assault weapons ban earlier this year, which lawmakers voted down.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office said it is reviewing the ruling and would comment Tuesday.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by former corrections officer Michael Moore of Champaign, farmer Charles Hooks of Percy in southeastern Illinois and the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Wyoming receiver to miss final game
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) _ Wyoming senior receiver Chris McNeill will miss the final game of the season because of a knee injury.
Besides missing the game against San Diego State, McNeill won't have a chance to make the top 10 on UW's career-catches list.
McNeill has 150 career catches, just one catch away from tying Gordy Wood for 10th place.
McNeill suffered the injury last Saturday in the fourth quarter against UNLV. He ends the season leading the Cowboys in receiving with 63 catches for 722 yards and five touchdowns.

Dominion Power is warning customers of a scam where a person on the phone claims to be a company employee and demands immediate payment of a bill.
The caller tells customers their electric service will be cut off if the bill isn't paid within a few hours and usually requests payment by prepaid debit card. The caller migh falsely claim there's a problem with the customer's electric meter, which could lead to a fire if it isn't replaced immediately. They say Dominion will reimburse them later if they pay for it right away.
Dominion says while they do call customers who have delinquent bills to remind them their payment is due, they never ask for specific payment information. Instead they direct customers on how they can make their payments.
Dominion is encouraging anyone who may have been contacted by those running the scam to call 1-866-DOM-HELP and their local police.
Dominion also tells customers they should ask to see an official Dominion ID from anyone who knocks on their door claiming to be from Dominion.
"We hope this warning will be heeded and shared so that other customers can avoid traps like this," said Gianna Clark, vice president of customer service operations in a press release. "Scams are always troubling, particularly in these difficult economic times."
The phone scammers have mostly been targeting Spanish-speaking customers, elderly customers and businesses in Virginia, but Dominion says all customers should be aware of the scams and contact Dominion to report suspicious activity.
The Dominion press release included these Better Business Bureau tips to avoid falling for a scam:
- Do your research. If you receive a call claiming to be from your utility company and feel pressured for immediate payment or personal information, hang up the phone and call the customer service number on your utility bill. For Dominion customers, that number is 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357).
- Beware of giving personal information over the phone. Never provide your Social Security number, credit card number or banking information to anyone requesting it over the phone or at your home unless you initiated the contact and feel confident about the person with whom you are speaking.
- Use your own personal information. Always pay your bills with your own personal information; never pay your bills with information that is not your own.
- Beware of the door-to-door sales approach. Never allow anyone into your home to check electrical wiring, natural gas pipes or appliances unless you have scheduled an appointment or have reported a utility problem. Also, ask utility employees for proper identification.
- Be proactive. If you have already provided information to someone claiming to offer this service, contact your bank immediately. Also contact the three national credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – and have a notation made on your account so it doesn't impact your credit rating.
- Inform others. Share this information with friends and family so they do not become victims. Elderly victims are common in this type of scam, but anyone who pays a utility bill is a potential target.

Owner has to muzzle dog after attack
6:40am Monday 24th February 2014 in News
A DOG owner has received a last chance to control her pet after it escaped and attacked another dog and bit a man.
At Banbury Magistrates' Court on Friday, Elizabeth Smith, 45, admitted a charge of allowing her dog to be dangerously out of control on November 11 last year.
The court heard the white English bull terrier dog called Dodger escaped from her home in Holly Close, Bicester, after the front door was accidentally left open.
It ran to nearby shopping parade in Holm Square, Southwold, where it attacked another dog that was being watched over by an 11-year-old boy.
Sarah Mackay, prosecuting, said: "A man had left his dog outside with his son. He heard his son scream and went outside to find a stray dog attacking his dog."
CCTV footage captured the man carrying his dog into the Tesco shop.
During the attack, his hand was bitten and he suffered a puncture wound, the court heard. His dog also suffered five puncture wounds to its back and an injury to its paw.
Sumita Mahtab, defending, said as soon as Ms Smith realised the dog was missing she went to look for it.
She said: "Ms Smith is a passionate animal lover and is extremely remorseful and extremely guilty for not ensuring the front door was closed."
Magistrates' chairman Ilene Bussell warned Smith must keep the three-year-old dog muzzled and on a lead at all times when it is out in public.
She must also pay £50 to the man in compensation, £60 for his excess vet bill fee, £145 fine, £85 costs and £20 victim surcharge.

If she hasn't complied with a previous order then she shouldn't be allowed to keep the dog.

A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.
An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
The term collage derives from the French "coller" meaning "glue".[2] This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art

Save all of your left over cooking oil used for frying,pour oil center and in the lower area of wood before lighting.
Depending on how big you like your fires,you can add as it burns off.
It puts off a great BBQ smell for quite a while.
I recently dumped some left over oil I used for turkey frying in my OUTDOOR fire,not a fire place,and it smelled just like I was cooking some good BBQ.
I will definately continue to save it from now on!!

WP Multi Network
I was brought to here by the plugin support page [ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ ]. I have no idea why BP is related to it. Anyway I installed the subject plugin but can't find any setting link on my control panel.
The readme told me to "You will need to have the multi-site functionality turned on and working before using this WP Multi Network." But what the hall I can't find the "ulti-site functionality" neither.
I am on WordPress 3.0-beta-1.
Anyone has any idea?

The SOG Trident Tanto Folding KnifeThe SOG Trident Tanto Folding Knife uses the well-proven SOG blade delivery mechanism, adding to this is the new patent pending Arc-Actuator, by which the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. Another addition is the groove on the handle that can help handle simple tasks such as cutting the fish-line, with ease and without having to open the blade. The Digi-Grip handle with this variable patterning offers a coarser grip. The bayonet styling of the grip makes it easier to switch between right and left-handed holds and can also be removed and stowed for storage. Under 5 in length when folded, the SOG Trident Tanto Folding Knife sheaths a blade to meet any need. The blade of the knife is literally a cutting-edge evolution combining the best in blade-making.

The SOG Trident uses our well-proven means of delivering a knife blade to the open position with S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) Now using our patent pending Arc-Actuator, the Trident locks stronger and releases easier. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade closed. When it shows red, you are ready to go. What also makes the Trident so unique is the patent pending Groove in the handle, which allows the operator to cut paracord, fishing line, etc. without having to open the blade. The handle also includes a Digi-Grip variable pattern for coarser grip in areas that require it. Our bayonet style clip is easily switched for right/left hand carry or removed for pouch storage.
