For years, our goal has been to build community through shared work and education in order to be an evolving model of sustainable agriculture. Members and shareholders of the organization receive fresh, local, organic and biodynamic produce each week during the 26 weeks of our growing season. In addition, we host workshops, study groups, and celebrations that are open to all members of the greater community whether those members are involved with Erda or not. Fall marks the end of our growing season and it is time for our Annual Harvest Festival. This year we have decided that the festival will take place at Sanchez Farms, one of our larger agriculture sites in the South Valley. The event will be an all day fundraiser extravaganza and is scheduled to take place on Sunday, 21 October 2007 from 11am – Sunset. We will have live music (Saltine Ramblers, Uprising Voice, and more) and entertainment, a silent auction, activities and games for children, workshops, and a potluck – the Harvest Festival is fun for the whole family! This fundraiser is also a way to honor the hard work and support that people have dedicated to Erda and other CSA's in the area and is an opportunity to build community awareness and educate people on CSA's and sustainable agriculture. Proceeds from the Harvest Festival will assist in the following: o Hosting community workshops related to biodynamic, organic, and low-impact farming o Paying the modest monthly stipend to our farming interns o General operating equipment and needs o Preparation for the 2008 growing season Please and Thank You for taking an interest in this event and our organization! In Community, Erda Gardens Please contact: Sandra Naigle (505) 917-7982 ____________________________ 10/19-28 -THE NATURAL BUILDING COLLOQUIUM October will bring an opportunity to connect with natural builders and those committed to sustainability and community. The Natural Building Colloquium, Oct 19-28, 2007, will bring together many skilled, interesting, big-hearted people. It will be in Kerrville, a couple of hours from Austin or San Antonio. If the announcement below interests you, follow the link at the bottom for more information. Derek Roff Director, Builders Without Borders In the spirit of strengthening and expanding our community of those interested in sustainable building, central Texas invites you to attend a Natural Building Colloquium, October 19-28. Colloquia are gatherings of people, ranging from experienced to simply curious, who come to learn from each other, to synergize their experience and to remind themselves of their larger vision. Oct 19-28, 2007 ... come one weekend, two weekends or all ten days Quiet Valley Ranch, Kerrville, TX In our case, the vision is of a lifestyle and building culture that could repeat itself indefinitely through successive generations. With careful searching many of us have concluded that the use of locally abundant, unprocessed materials such as earth, stone, straw and native timber provide the structure with which to achieve this vision. Cob, strawbale, adobe, earthbag, leichtlehm (straw-clay), and timber frame are a few of the types of systems that exemplify this philosophy. Natural buildings become pieces of art created with soul and purpose. Permaculture , or "permanent agriculture," helps us integrate human patterns into the landscape surrounding our homes. As originated by Bill Mollison, permaculture is the practice of designing sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns, integrating ecology, landscape, organic gardening, architecture and agroforestry. There are other important aspects as well: delicious food that nourishes the body, music, laughter, creativity, families of all sorts, eager minds and willing hands. We seek to create homes that comfort the body and lift the soul. If you possess or aspire to any of the above, we invite you to join us this fall. We have in incredible group of presenters and hands-on projects. Details on presenters, registration, costs, meals and accomodations at <http://www.naturalbuildingtexas.org> early registration ends Aug 15 We hope to see you in Texas this October! ____________________________________ 11/7-9 - BEHAVIOR, ENERGY, AND CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE Sacramento, California The first-ever Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference ("BECC") is a national conference focused on understanding the behavior and decision-making of individuals and organizations and on using that knowledge to help accelerate our transition to an energy-efficient and low-carbon economy The conference program and registration details will be announced soon on the conference Web site: http://aceee.org/conf/07becc/07beccindex.htm.

Number of ratings 26 / Average Grade: A+ Submit a correction
Dr. Farner is one of the best professors in community health. Her class is always straight forward and she is so knowledgeable on all of the topics she teaches. I love every class I take with her.
Any class with Farner is amazing. The paper was annoying at times, but you will feel accomplished when it's over. Awesome class!
I enjoyed this class throughout the entire semester. Dr. Farner is an approachable and knowledgeable professor, and you should be able to get an A if you do well in the two tests (and turn in a good research paper, of course).
Dr. Farner is a great professor. I recommend her classes. She really knows her stuff and she is always willing to help struggling students. One of the best professors I've had so far.
Wonderful teacher! Always had my attention and she always prepared us well for the exams. Some people do bad, but if you study the study guide that has only 20 questions on it you'll do fine. It's not cumulative. Very awesome class.
All lectures posted online after class. Mandatory in class assignments as well as articles to be read outside of class. Study guides given for tests. Tests followed study guides well. Great teacher!
Loved her and liked this class. So easy. The only thing that was annoying was the paper but it's due in sections so it's not too bad. Farner is so nice!
Farner is awesome. I went for help with finding articles for a research paper and she found three for me and printed them out. She's so nice and interesting. Love her.
She's a great professor. Kinda reminds me of my grandma. Exam questions are very open-ended and she's a pretty easy grader. And the class isn't so boring that it puts you to sleep, even at 8am. Take her class.
This class was really easy and interesting! Farner's reviews are perfectly representative of the exams (which consist of mc, t/f, short essay and 1 essay question). I would recommend this class to anyone!
Dr. Farner is an amazing professor. She makes class interesting when the material might not be. Her tests are super fair, just put in a some studying and you should be fine. Come to class cause she does random assignments for points. Wonderful teacher overall!
I have taken several classes with Dr. Farner. She is very helpful, just a little boring in lecture. Classes are easy. The thing I don't like is that in 494 you have to listen to her opinions. Australia is NOT like the US!
She is really nice and class is really easy. Only 3 exams and 3 short papers. Exams are not hard, they are essay format, she gives you a study guide that tells you exactly what is on the exam and she is an easy grader. The topic is interesting and she seems very nice and genuine in wanting to teach her students. Take it, even if it's 8 am.
She's one of the greatest professor I'd ever had so far. She updates you on the worldly news on health care and bring in her personal travel stories all over the world. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended.
I love Dr. Farner
She's the best!
First off, DON'T buy the book. You will never need it. It goes into way too much detail for the class. Farner gives you everything you need on the slides and even tells you which slides to study. It's incredibly easy. She's also a really sweet lady who has been everywhere, seen everything and knows what she's talking about.
Professor Farner is by far the best professor I've had at U of I. You can tell she just wants to share what she knows with her students. Her lectures have way more information than needed, but she pretty much gives you the exam questions at the review, so be sure to go!
Class was babyish. Dr. Farner also is not someone to go to if you have a problem. She has no maternal instincts whatsoever and she will make you feel worse. She is good at working, that's all.
This class was absurdly easy, but incredibly dull. She is very nice and knows what shes teaching, but know that you are taking an intro to hospital management class. If you are not interested in the topic, it is probably not worth it.

The move comes at a time when the billionaire hedge fund manager's investment in LightSquared looks increasingly unlikely to have a positive end.
The word on the street is that the company could burn through through its cash by the second quarter of the year unless it raises additional capital. Meanwhile, Phil Flacone's hedge fund has put a suspension on his client's ability to withdraw funds from his hedge fund.
Raising that capital might may be tough, though. Recent regulatory findings showed that the LightSquared's network, which aims to offer a low cost competitor to established wireless providers, caused 'harmful interference' with 75% of GPS units test by the FCC.

Press release from the Devils:
The New Jersey Devils today re-signed forward Brendan Shanahan to a new contract. The announcement was made by Devils' President/CEO/General Manager Lou Lamoriello. As per club policy, no further terms were disclosed.
"Brendan Shanahan is an experienced veteran who can play in all situations, and accepts any role to help the team win," said Lamoriello. "We are delighted to have him back."
Shanahan will enter his 22nd National Hockey League season in October, including his sixth season with the Devils. He re-joined the club last season after signing as a free agent on January 15, 2009. The three-time Stanley Cup Champion saw action in 34 regular-season games last season, recording six goals and eight assists for 14 points and 29 penalty minutes, and added one goal and two assists for three points and two penalty minutes in seven post-season contests. He has career totals of 656 goals and 698 assists for 1,354 points and 2,489 penalty minutes in 1,524 regular-season games with New Jersey, St. Louis, Hartford, Detroit, and the NY Rangers. Shanahan also has 60 goals and 74 assists for 134 points and 279 penalty minutes in 184 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances. He ranks 11th all-time in games played, first among active players/11th all-time in goals, tied for 49th all-time in assists, and second among active players/23rd overall in points. The 6-3, 220-lb. forward is a two-time 50-goal scorer, has reached the 40-goal mark six times, 30-goal mark 12 times, and has scored 20 goals on 19 occasions.
Shanahan has 94 goals and 134 assists for 228 points and 553 penalty minutes in 315 regular-season games with the Devils. He has also seen action in 32 playoff games with New Jersey, recording nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points and 78 penalty minutes. The native of Mimico, Ont. returned to the lineup on January 19 at Nashville, becoming the 17th player in team history to re-join the organization. At 6,504 days since his previous appearance March 31, 1991, he established an NHL record for the longest gap between regular-season games with one team. On February 11 vs. the NY Islanders, he became just the 12th player in NHL history to reach the 1,500 games-played mark. Shanahan has appeared in eight NHL All-Star Games and was named to the league's First All-Star Team in 1994 and 2000, as well as its Second All-Star Team in 2002. He was the recipient of the 2003 King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contributions. Born January 23, 1969, he represented Canada at the 1987 World Junior Championships, 1991 Canada Cup, two World Championships, the 1996 World Cup, and two Olympic Winter Games. He was New Jersey's first choice and second overall selection in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft.

Danville High School will get top billing today as New Tech leaders present details of their new educational delivery system to a group of educators at the University of Northern Iowa.
New Tech Director and DHS Assistant Principal Darin Chambliss and New Tech-certified trainer and DHS teacher Jacob Bretz will make the presentation, traveling to Cedar Falls during this weekend for a statewide educational summit.
"It's kind of a good feeling that they asked us and just a real good opportunity for us," Chambliss said.
According to Lyn Countryman, interim director of the university's on-campus Malcolm Price Laboratory School, the university is using the event to hear presentations from several alternative school programs as it moves toward its goal of becoming a "research, development, demonstration and dissemination" school.
"We are in the process of transitioning from a lab school," she said in an invitation to Danville school officials. "To this end we are trying to gather important ingredients from excellent models."
Chambliss said he and Bretz were scheduled to make four total presentations Friday in breakout sessions alongside three other programs being implemented at other schools. Presentations were made before a panel of 200 state and university educators.
"We're going to be presenting to university staff and their board of trustees," he said. "They're basically going to be choosing between us and three other schools."
Countryman said University of Northern Iowa educators will be examining issues including innovative teaching practices, how research is done, the role of new curriculum and innovative practices, and the role of faculty.
New Tech, part of a national network of 62 schools, made Danville a "demonstration school" following the summer training of Bretz and teacher-leader Abbie Carter — now both certified to train other teachers.
The New Tech system is student-led and project oriented, with students charged with finding relevance in their information as they apply it to common problems. Students or teachers can draw on the New Tech network for project ideas and continued guidance.
Danville's 2-year-old program will have its first outside educators' tour Oct. 20, with a group from a school in Michigan spending the day immersed in New Tech. Chambliss said there are plans to add more tours and offer a county-wide in-service program for interested teachers.
He said the outside networking is positive for teachers here as they draw from outside sources — and presentations such as Friday's put DHS in a good light and could lead to connections elsewhere.
For the Iowa summit, New Tech leaders have been working on a Powerpoint presentation and will include classroom video.
"We're pleased we've been given the opportunity," he said. "We're just going to tell them what we've seen."

Select Route:
Always shaded all the time, and a cool environment, but there is only one route, so climb here at the hottest point on a hot day! A long 5.10- is on the inside of the cave. While the climbing might only be one star or two (depending on if the top is wet or not), the overall experience is 3 stars. Once inside if you look tot he right you are looking at the inside of the wall that forms CrazyHorse Buttress. A rock banged out on the ourside of Crazyhorse can be heard clearly inside the cave, as if climbing inside a drumskin.
Getting There
Hike up and left from Crazyhorse wall as for the Aircon Wall, but after the wide switchback when the trail hits the wall again, turn right and go downhill 10 meters instead up uphill to Aircon. A small entrance is apparent, but what is not apparent is that after a 15 meter scramble you will end up in quite a large cave, open from the top down. Scamper and slither down this passage into the large room below. A headlamp is needed to climb, if not for hte approach. 5 minutes in all.
Climbing Season

Featured Route For Windy Cave
A fun experience even if the route is not a great route. It is long, fun, varied, and in a unique environment. The climb ascends a bolted line to the top, but would be very hard to follow without a headlamp on lead. Be mindful of a wet area to the left about 3/4 of the way up and stay right there (probable crux, 10a) all the way to the anchors. Bang on the "drum" 5 feet up the wall to the left of the first bolt and then head on up....[more] Browse More Classics in International

ESPN reports that McNabb is on his was to Washington.
The two sides still must finalize language, but McNabb is now headed to Washington. Sources said the deal involved the Redskins' second-round pick in the 2010 draft and either a third- or fourth-round pick next year, depending on several factors.
Pesonally I think it is the best of both worlds. Kolb is the starter in Philly and McNabb, who I think has his best days behind him, now plays behind an even worse O-line.

Should it matter that Mike wants to become Christine?
Does that, in some way, alter the value of said person's standing in humanity?
And, in the sports community: should this choice alter said person's standing? Will gender play a role in said person's choice of assignment, or whether "locker room admittance" is permitted or prohibited?
Unlike most other internet denizens, it seems the folk, on this site, think before they type....which is why I'm curious about your thoughts regarding the above.
I realize this is a potentially inflamatory subject and wish to make it certain: I only ask for the purpose of knowledge, and no other reason. "Love" and "Hate"...that's something I won't, and shall not, judge.
So, any thoughts on the topic?

On Friday we covered Paul Krugman's New York Times Magazine article on the economics profession, and how it differed from previous takes on the profession's flaws. Over the weekend, economists had a chance to respond to their colleague's criticism. Most took a pass, leaving it to the business bloggers and economics columnists to raise objections. A few, however, chimed in once the ball was rolling. Here's where the online opinion world agreed and disagreed with Krugman's criticism of his own field:
- We're On Vacation The gods of the economics blogosphere were curiously silent. Harvard professor Greg Mankiw offered merely a link to Krugman's "very nice essay," fellow economist Tyler Cowen following suit (choosing instead to discuss monkey music and theories of female beauty). The New York Times' popular Freakonomics blog, meanwhile, covered video games.
- More About Sociology Than Economics UC Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen argued in April that, while many economists do not start out as efficient market hypothesis advocates, their close ties to business school graduates pulls them away from the original tenets of their economics Ph.D. programs. Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress found this a more interesting and important point than Krugman's "economist-explaining-economics" analysis.
- A Word of Caution The New Republic's Noam Scheiber thought Krugman too optimistic about behavioral economics' potential to right the wrongs of the field:
There are a number of behavioralists who've done and are doing important, fundamental work … But, if there's been one problem with the sub-field over the years … it's that at times it's fallen into a trap Krugman rightly criticizes the Chicago-school, rational-expectations maniacs for falling into: fetishizing the cleverness of an insight even if its real-world utility is next to nil.
- Economic Partisanship Mark Sunshine attacked Paul Krugman on his blog, The Sunshine Report. "Instead of trying to figure out what is wrong with the training and reward system for economists," Sunshine argued, "Mr. Krugman uses the New York Times article as a chance to implicitly disparage his critics while proposing a solution to the problem which, coincidentally, is to become a believer in his view of economic theory and public policy."
- Economists Are Okay, Really Time Magazine's economics columnist, Justin Fox, had two problems with the Krugman piece. First, he wished he'd been credited. Second, "while economists certainly got lots of things wrong before the crisis," he wrote, "many members of the profession have acquitted themselves pretty well since things turned really ugly last year."
- Don't Trash Beauty Discover Magazine's Cosmic Variance blog found Krugman's argument that economists had fallen for a beautiful, wrong model "a little too pat. Sometimes," wrote Sean, "the beauty/ugly distinction between theoretical conceptions is more a matter of how well we understand them, and less about their intrinsic qualities." As a "counter-hypothesis," he suggested the following: "it wasn't beauty that was the problem, it was complacency."
- We Don't Have a Lab "I'm not sure if complacency is the right word," economist Mark Thoma responded, apparently one of the few of his field not to take an extra-long weekend. "There is great credit in the profession for finding anomalies within the existing framework. The problem is," he continued, "that it's almost always possible to tweak the existing model in some way that rationalizes any new regularity discovered in the data that is at odds with an existing theory." Economic models can't be tested in the lab, he pointed out, and it's crises like these that give "the kind of information we need."
- Krugman Responds On Saturday, Krugman said he had to get to bed early, but would respond to a few criticisms before hitting the hay:
- Regarding Justin Fox's first complaint: "Yes, I was helped by reading many sources (especially Justin Fox), but it's a magazine article, not a book with room for an acknowledgements page."
- Regarding Justin Fox's second point: "On whether the pretty good response of policy-oriented economists in the crisis undercuts the current thesis--I don't think so."
- Regarding Thoma's and Cosmic Variance's truth/beauty discussion: "won't we eventually have a true theory that's as beautiful as the full neoclassical version?" Right now, no, said Krugman. And "my guess is that even in the long run it won't be that neat." Economics isn't like Newtonian physics or general relativity, he wrote, in response to Sean at Cosmic Variance. It's meteorology.

The Rams basketball team will play in a different holiday tournament for the first time since the mid 2000s when it travels to Teutopolis in December.
"Our decision is not personal to anybody," Mt. Vernon athletic director Doug Creel said. "It's just Centralia is our rival. Sometimes the less we have to go in their gym, whether we're playing them or not it's just better for our coaches. It's hard to understand that unless you've been involved in that and been involved in the Mt. Vernon-Centralia thing."
Mt. Vernon signed a two-year contract and will play at the inaugural Teutopolis tournament in late December. The contract, which was signed earlier this month, halts a string of years competing in the Centralia Holiday Tournament.
"It's not personal, no grudges held," Creel said. "We just felt like at this time we just needed to distance ourselves. I think there will be some good teams in the (Teutopolis) tournament. It's just an hour up the road, good competition.
"I'm sure there's a possibility if Centralia wants us back sometime down the line we'll look into that, but for right now we just felt like we needed to separate just a little bit."
In past seasons, there was a possibility of the two rivals matching up as many as five times during the season. Last year Mt. Vernon and Centralia played three times. The last time ended in a regional final loss for the Rams.
"Centralia when coach (Rick) Moss was there, we were playing five times a year," Creel said. "They were good. We were good. It was just good to get a separation."
The Teutopolis tournament is expected to have a minimum of eight teams and will be a pool play format, according to Mt. Vernon coach Scott Gamber. Each team will compete against three other teams in pool play before advancing to a playoff round. The format guarantees each team in the tournament will play four games.
"It will be nice to get into a tournament that doesn't have any conference schools in it, play opponents that you don't normally play," Gamber said. "I like the fact that we're going to play at least four games."
The Teutopolis tournament will be after Christmas and could span two or three days, according to Gamber.
Mt. Vernon competed in the Centralia Holiday Tournament for several decades and won the title in 1998 against Paducah Tilghman. Mt. Vernon left the tournament the following season and competed at Carbondale until 2004 before returning to Centralia until the present season when the Rams finished with a 1-2 record with both defeats coming at the buzzer. The second came against Alton on a controversial putback basket.
"They way that things ended at Centralia's very unfortunate, and I think that it probably just shows even more why we need to get away from there," Gamber said. "Ultimately that decision was made prior to what happened (this year)."

The Czech Republic, even as group winners, are massive underdogs against Group B runners-up Portugal in their Euro 2012 quarterfinal match on Thursday. The degree to which they're underdogs in their own country is a bit surprising, however. It seems that those Czechs with disposable income and a propensity for gambling don't have much faith in their countrymen.
An astonishing 90 percent of people in the Czech Republic who have bet money on Thursday's game bet their money on Portugal to win. Do 90 percent of people in any country ever agree on anything in sports? Do 90 percent of people in the Philippines who bet on Manny Pacquiao fights lay their money on Pac Man? That might be the only scenario in which this kind of betting pattern might be duplicated.
If you were wondering exactly how big of underdogs the Czechs were against Portugal, this should spell it out for you.
We'll have live coverage of the game in our Czech Republic Vs. Portugal, Euro 2012 Quarterfinals StoryStream. For more on Euro 2012 and the entire world of football, follow @SBNationSoccer on Twitter.

just what the world needs, another ipod site posting the same "news" as ipodding, ipodlounge, macrumours, etc
Posted by dave on March 17, 2004 at 7:43 PM (CST)
ipod-stuff.com, good luck with your endeavors.
Not trying to be harsh, but you could use some help visually. The site looks kind of cluttered and needs some framing. The color scheme could use a little more contrast, but I do like the blue!
Hope you're okay with a little constructive criticism…

ill be sticking to the lounge.
Posted by loyal on March 17, 2004 at 9:09 PM (CST)
i agree with a but i htink its just not a nice user friendly format…unlike the apple site or cbs.sportsline which are realy nice!!!
Posted by rivlinm on March 17, 2004 at 9:15 PM (CST)
looks like ipod-stuff needs someone to teach them how to be original… just a big ripoff of ipodlounge, down to the sections. why bother starting a site if it's identical to what someone else is doing?
Posted by Silvia on March 18, 2004 at 12:04 AM (CST)
The website is nothing like iPodlounge.
First of all I know the template is kind of hard to read. The colours will be changing and you will be able to choose a template out of about 10 different ones so that you can select the style you like.
It is not a big rip off of iPodlounge because iPodlounge also uses the same systems as us and most of them are standard PHP features and we will be adding a lot more liek the skin changing, an online iPod chat room and lots more.
We will begin work on adding new skins. Plus the skin at the moment only works with some resolutions so everything will be changing. ;)

If the site isn't done (which it obviously isn't, hence you're making excuses for it), than why is it online and being promoted? Usually it's smart to finish it first, before releasing it to the world…
Posted by Nathan on March 18, 2004 at 7:02 AM (CST)
what the feck is wrong with you people ... can't you give the site a chance, somebody is trying to do something constructive and all you can do is shoot it down, you should be ashamed of yourselves ... why don't you offer a hand of help, offer ideas and artcles, news. Stop beings such negative no hopers and give the guy a break. For fecks sake.

What are you on about ... it's THIS site that's copying the rest of the internet. ipoding.com is where it's REALLY at!
These guys just thought they could make a fast buck from SHITLOADS of gratuitous paid advertising, bordered by this lame ass out of date made up news.
Posted by this site sucks dick on March 18, 2004 at 10:48 AM (CST)
iPod-stuff.com has not openned as a source of income. We have other sources of income. There will be a few adverts on the site but they will be put on there to sustain the website and keep it running.
Not sure what you meant by "it's THIS site that's copying the rest of the internet. " but iPod-Stuff.com has tried to be completely unique and will add loads of new features to try and keep this up.
Posted by Scott Newham on March 18, 2004 at 1:37 PM (CST)
iPodNews is up now too
Posted by Photohead on March 18, 2004 at 6:14 PM (CST)
Scott -
The layout really is hard to read - that blue background needs to go - but what bothers me the most is the writing. Typos, misspellings, loads of comma splices, and other sloppy technical errors detract from what you're trying to do and give the whole site an unprofessional feel.

The Popularity Papers: Research for the Social Improvement and General Betterment of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang are best friends with one goal: to crack the code of popularity. Lydia's the bold one: aspiring theater star, stick-fighting enthusiast, human guinea pig. Julie's the shy one: observer and artist, accidental field hockey star, faithful recorder. In this notebook they write down their observations and carry out experiments to try to determine what makes the popular girls tick. But somehow, when Lydia and Julie try to imitate the popular girls, their efforts don't translate into instant popularity. Lydia ends up with a bald spot, their parents won't stop yelling, and Julie finds herself the number-one crush of Roland Asbjørnsen. Worse, they seem to be drifting farther and farther from their goal—and each other.
Amy Ignatow's hilarious debut novel introduces the intrepid fifth-graders Julie and Lydia, whose quest to understand popularity may not succeed in the ways they want, but will succeed in keeping readers in stitches.
From Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books:
Lydia and Julie, BFFs since birth, are now preparing to enter junior high, and they're on a mission to become popular. First, however, they have to determine exactly how popularity is achieved, so they decide to approach the matter as any good scientist would: observe those creatures already at the height of popularity and apply said observations to themselves, in the hopes of cracking into that mysterious world of junior-high stardom. The two record their observations and the often spectacularly unsuccessful outcomes of their various social experiments in a scrapbook-like journal, complete with notes passed at school, lists of projected popularity goals, and credibly goofy and kidlike drawings. The story here is fairly familiar: the girls fail miserably at their first attempts at the A-list (Lydia's hair falls out after a botched dye job, among other disasters) but eventually find acceptance in the upper echelon, only to learn the valuable lesson that it's the people you're most comfortable around who make the best friends. The diary format, however, adds an extra dimension of funny, and as in Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid series about Greg Heffley, it allows Julie and Lydia to come alive through their witty dialogue, their perceptive commentary, and even their characteristic handwriting. Secondary characters shine as well, particularly Julie's embarrassing but ultimately charming two dads, along with Lydia's goth-punk sister, a font of random quips and junior high wisdom. The popular kids end up being far from perfect and each has issues of her own to contend with, making the actual friendships that form among the girls all the more endearing. Those waiting for the next installment of Greg Heffley's adventures will be well served by this amusing experiment in sixth-grade celebrity. KQG

Emmy Award nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN has been the Number One-rated sitcom on television for the past four seasons. It's a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son, and the many women who surround them. Charlie Harper is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle was interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan, and Alan's son, Jake, came to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn; Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith and Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta. Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common - they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.
Two And A Half Men: Season 6 clip - starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle. Directed by Lee Aronsohn.
In Season 6, a smart, independent brunette named Chelsea may finally have turned party-boy Charlie into a man. The kind of man who brings you tea when you're sick. Sleeps over at your place, even if he can't watch ESPN in bed. Or makes the ultimate sacrifice: nukes the nudie pix off his cell phone. And there's lots more funny that keeps Two and a Half Men the #1 comedy on TV: Jake locks lips with the cute girl next door, the one whose football-star dad is named Mad Dog. Judith prepares for a midlife baby, who may end up looking a lot like Alan. And Alan dates his receptionist, then ends up in bed with her frisky mom. Life's a beach in Season 6!
For six seasons, Charlie Harper has loved 'em and left 'em. In Season 7, he gets left. TV's #1 comedy pulls a hilarious switcheroo when Charlie's fiancee Chelsea meets a doctor (score one) who's generous, thoughtful and mature (score three more). She vamooses, and Charlie. after pickling himself in booze and self-pity, handles the situation in typical Charlie fashion. Which means lots of laughs for Men fans. But Charlie isn't the only Harper making cement-headed decisions. Alan decides the only thing that separates him from a love god is hair. So he tries the spray-on variety. And Jake decides what he needs to navigate the perilous waters of teenage dating is advice. From Charlie.
Two And A Half Men: Season 4 clip - starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle. Directed by Lee Aronsohn.
Season Eight brings a return to bachelordom for Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) as TV's #1 comedy finds its hilarious form once more. Add in the amorous blunders of Charlie's divorcee brother Alan and the lovable, but sometimes cement-headed decisions of Charlie's teenaged nephew Jake and these (almost three) men add up to riotous fun!
Will Charlie take a spin on the marriage-go-round? The boys (all two and a half men's worth) are back for a snappy, smart season of TV's #1 comedy hit. And while a drop-dead gorgeous parade of Sandys, Mandis and Kandis march in and out of Charlie's Malibu beach house, the true heart of the series remains the makeshift family that calls this place home - including carefree bachelor Charlie (Charlie Sheen), his finicky chiropractor brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and Alan's outspoken young son Jake (Angus T. Jones).
Emmy winner Jon Cryer stars alongside the talented Ashton Kutcher in the Emmy-nominated Two and a Half Men as the hit comedy returns for its 11th season. Another year of bachelorhood is sure to bring new adventures for roommates Walden Schmidt (Kutcher) and Alan Harper (Cryer), especially when a niece of Alan's, who shares a few characteristics with her father, shows up at the beach house.
The multi-talented Ashton Kutcher, whose success spans film, television and social media, joins the cast of the Emmy Award-nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN as Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt in the hit comedy series about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love.
Welcome back to the Harpers' Malibu beach house - home to one of the funniest TV comedy hits in a long, long time. Resolute bachelor Charlie's trying (but not very hard) to remember the name of the girl currently taking a shower upstairs. Meanwhile, Alan, Charlie's divorced, uptight brother, is reveling in the glory of being named the San Fernando Valley's ?Chiropractor of the Year. And finally, there's Jake, Alan's 11-year-old son, who's happiest with a soft drink in one hand and the TV remote in the other, taking it all in stride.
Dont miss season six of the #1 comedy on television. Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones star in this comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love.

US ready to help, says Colin Powell
FORMER US Secretary of State Colin Powell says the United States stands ready to assist Jamaica with its economic problems, saying that the country is still of great importance in the region.
Powell, who led a high-level delegation appointed by US President Barack Obama to represent the US at Jamaica's celebration of its 50th anniversary of Independence, made the pledge to assist during a press briefing at the National Stadium on Monday.
Powell, who is of Jamaican parentage, said that he is confident that Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller will address the economic problems facing the country which are similar to those of the US.
Meanwhile, Powell said that a number of Americans with Jamaican parentage, like himself, have never lost their commitment to Jamaica, and he used the opportunity to hail the the country's athletes for their their great performance in the London Olympics.
Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, of the 11th Congressional District of New York, who was in attendance at the press conference, said it is was "an honour and privilege to be here on such an occasion". She said she had often heard stories from her parents about the lowering of the Union Jack in 1962 and the raising of the Jamaican flag, signalling independence from British rule.

Reviews for Creamy Fruit Medley
Sort By :
My daughter loves mandarin oranges & I was looking for an easy fruit side complimentary salad to add to her birthday dinner. This hit the spot. She loved it too! Tasty, cool with a nice citrus taste, I used a smaller container of cool whip so it would be more fruity. Nice compliment fruity salad with dinner.
exactly what I was looking for from my childhood!!!
I did have to adjust tho, as I needed a large qty of fluff and didn't have enough fruit. I made a quadruple (4) batch of fluff but only had pineapplen mandarins for 2 of the batches n only 16 oz of coolwhip...I know, why bother right? nononono!
I added a small container of heavy whipping cream(unbeaten, just as a liquid) to sub for the missing cool whip and used the equivalent of peach slices (mashed between my fingers to smaller pieces) to make up for the missing fruit.
I also mixed the fruit with the jello first till jello was dissolved n then folded in coolwhip/marshmellows and whipping cream. this turned out wonderfully for our church felloship dinner n many asked for the recipe n asked me to bring it more often n in different flavors for our ladies meetings!
thank you for giving me back a beloved dessert from 30 years ago!

The Bottom Line
"Let's Ride," The Game's lead single from Doctor's Advocate, is an indication that even in the special-ed classroom of hip-hop, he sticks out as cerebrally challenged.
- Poignant production
- Corny rhymes
- "Let's Ride (Strip Club)" is the first single from Doctor's Advocate.
- The song was produced by Scott Storch.
- "Let's Ride (Strip Club)" was officially released on September 25,2006.
Guide Review - The Game - Let's Ride (Strip Club) (Black Wall Street / Geffen)
In Dick Gregory's autobiographical essay, "Shame," little Richard went to illogical measures to strip himself of ignominy. One day, as the teacher called out names of students whose fathers were going to donate to the Community Chest, Richard--a poverty-stricken kiddo with no Daddy around--offers to donate a whopping $15 on behalf of his "Daddy." "I got it right now,...my Daddy gave it to me to turn in," he was lying of course. The teacher had to remind Richard (albeit harshly) that he had no Daddy.
The Game reminds me of little Richard. We all know that he's been dropped from the 'Math. We've all heard that Dr. Dre--Game's hip-hop Daddy--had nary a thing to do with the Doctor's Advocate. Yet, he name-checks Dre and all things Aftermath no less than 12 times throughout "Let's Ride". Addled by the lack of integrity in his hustle, Game delivers a lethargic sprawl, replete with 50 Cent-esque crooning and tautological Dre odes ("Ain't nuthin' but a G thang, baby, it's a G thang").
Carooning between guns and girls, the man who "never makes hits for the club" ("One Blood") now finds himself trying to get "the whole world in the club". Just another boring mantra devoid of substance.

Ruggles Gets New Life!
Ruggles Saved – Round One!
Newport, RI: UPDATE - Friday, April 12, 2013
From Sid Abruzzi of Waterbrothers "We just got back from City Hall meeting with Department of Transportation. Plan A, including armor stones and temporary jetties, is officially out. Regaurding Plan B we are confident the new proposal will not effect the Ruggles surf break. Victory is yours and ours.
The RI Coastal Resources Management Council has DISAPPROVED the RI Department of Transportation's plans to make repairs to sections of Newport's Cliff Walk that suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy!!!!
This is a big win for our surfing community.
Previous plans would have devastated Ruggles which is known as one of the best big wave breaks in the country.
Sources indicate that all temporary causeways and armor stone must be removed from the scope of repair project.
