WASHINGTON – Lately, the jet stream isn't playing by the rules. Scientists say that big river of air high above Earth that dictates much of the weather for the Northern Hemisphere has been unusually erratic the past few years.
They blame it for everything from snowstorms in May to the path of Superstorm Sandy.
And last week, it was responsible for downpours that led to historic floods in Alberta, Canada, as well as record-breaking heat in parts of Alaska, experts say. The town of McGrath, Alaska, hit 94 degrees. Just a few weeks earlier, the same spot was 15 degrees.
The current heat wave in the Northeast is also linked. While it's not unusual to have a heat wave in the east in June, it is part of the anomalous jet stream pattern that was responsible for the flooding in Alberta, Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis said Tuesday.
The jet stream usually rushes rapidly from west to east in a mostly straight direction. But lately it's been wobbling and weaving like a drunken driver, wreaking havoc as it goes. The more the jet stream undulates north and south, the more changeable and extreme the weather.
It's a relatively new phenomenon that scientists are still trying to understand. Some say it's related to global warming; others argue it's not.
In May, there was upside-down weather: Early California wildfires fueled by heat contrasted with more than a foot of snow in Minnesota. Seattle was the hottest spot in the nation one day, and Maine and Edmonton, Canada, were warmer than Miami and Phoenix.
Consider these unusual occurrences over the past few years:
The winter of 2011-12 seemed to disappear, with little snow and record warmth in March. That was followed by the winter of 2012-13 when nor'easters seemed to queue up to strike the same coastal areas repeatedly.
Superstorm Sandy took an odd left turn in October from the Atlantic straight into New Jersey, something that happens once every 700 years.
One 12-month period had a record number of tornadoes. That was followed by 12 months that set a record for lack of tornadoes.
And here is what federal weather officials call a spring paradox: The U.S. had both an unusually large area of snow cover in March and April and a near-record low area of snow cover in May.
I've been doing meteorology for 30 years and the jet stream the last three years has done stuff I've never seen, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director at the private service Weather Underground. The fact that the jet stream is unusual could be an indicator of something. I'm not saying we know what it is.
Francis is in the camp that thinks climate change is probably playing a role in this.
It's been just a crazy fall and winter and spring all along, following a very abnormal sea ice condition in the Arctic, Francis said, noting that last year set a record low for summer sea ice in the Arctic. It's possible what we're seeing in this unusual weather is all connected.
Other scientists don't make the sea ice and global warming connections that Francis does. They see random weather or long-term cycles at work.
Even more scientists are taking a wait-and-see approach with this latest theory. It's far from a scientific consensus, but it is something that is being studied more often and getting a lot of scientific buzz.
There are some viable hypotheses, Stanford University climate scientist Noah Diffenbaugh said. We're going to need more evidence to fully test those hypotheses.
NOAA research meteorologist Martin Hoerling said, Everyone would agree that we are in a pattern of extremes. We don't know how long it will stay in this pattern.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee Memorial Health System and Lee County EMS teamed up to demonstrate someone experiencing a 'STEMI' heart attack, and how time is of the essence.
The two agencies say a 'STEMI' is one of the most severe types of heart attacks, and every second counts when someone is having a heart attack.
The demonstration began with someone experiencing heart attack symptoms- chest pain and shortness of breath. EMS arrived and took the patient to the hospital. The ER doctor evaluated the patient, called in the cardiologist, and took the patient up to the cath lab where he would undergo surgery. Doctors say the goal is to get the patient from the ER and into angioplasty surgery within 90 minutes.
New technology is helping to speed up the process. Lee County EMS recently purchased new monitors for all ambulances. Those monitors can transmit the patient's EKG results directly to the hospital, while paramedics are still in the field. That helps doctors prepare for the patient that is on his way.
Doctors say if you are experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, call 911 right away and do not drive yourself to the hospital.

Many women are the primary caregivers in the home. Women may lack political connections or ongoing support, which may be why they don't consider going into politics at the same rate as men. Our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts or girlfriends may be skilled enough to fill a political office, but they may lack self-confidence.
Nonetheless, women are needed at the decision-making tables, alongside men, to help shape policies, particularly those that affect them.
This evening in San Francisco, 29 Democratic women will attend a kickoff reception and begin a seven-month political leadership training program through Emerge California, an Oakland-based nonprofit organization.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Emerge's goal continues to be to "get more Democratic women into elected office by offering comprehensive, top-notch training to women of all ages from communities across the state."
Emerge boasts that 50 percent of its graduates hold political office and 68 percent have won elections. It is also proud that half of its alumnae are women of color.
Across the state, 28 Emerge alumni were on November's ballot and 17 of them won. In Solano County, these women included Erin Hannigan, Linda Seifert, Lois Wolk and my friend Lori Wilson, a June Emerge graduate and newly elected Suisun City councilwoman.
While the Class of 2013 has already been selected, Emerge will begin accepting applications for its 2014 class in July.
Through once-a-month Saturday classes, networking receptions, homework assignments and camaraderie with other students, women who complete the program come away with knowledge about the political process, how to run a campaign, how to fundraise, how to listen to others and how to be comfortable with talking about issues, Lori said.
Also, women come to appreciate more those who are in political office and, equally important, learn how to be their authentic selves, Lori added.
At the end of the program, some women may realize they don't have a passion for public service. Even so, Lori believes they become better voters and bigger supporters of other women in politics. They also discover their unique selves.
Similar organizations exist for Republican women, including the Marian Bergeson Excellence in Public Service series based in Orange County and the Sacramento-based California Federation of Republican Women.
Lori first ran for office in 2010 and lost. She believes that going through Emerge provided her with a "deluxe toolbox" that led to her win this time.

Thu, Apr 11, 2013
An American Eagle pilot who failed a pre-flight alcohol screening and was arrested January 4 has been charged with three gross misdemeanors in Minnesota's Hennepin County District Court.
Kolbjorn Jarle Kristiansen had been preparing to fly an American Eagle flight from Minneapolis to New York City on January 4. He was with a group of four pilots in the terminal around 0530 CST that was passed by a TSA agent and airport police who said they smelled alcohol as they walked by the group. It was determined that the 48-year-old Kristiansen's blood alcohol level was 0.107 ... which is more than double the legal limit for pilots. He admitted he had be drinking the night before.
The Associated Press reports that Kristiansen, who lives in Raleigh, NC, has been charged with three counts that are associated with attempting to operate an airplane under the influence of alcohol. Each carries a maximum one-year prison sentence and $3,000 fine. He has been under suspension by American Eagle since his arrest.
A U.S. Attorney's office spokeswoman in Minnesota said that the case was being prosecuted at the state level because it allows charges to be brought for attempting to fly an airplane under the influence. Federal law only recognizes a crime if the operation of an aircraft actually takes place.

*Female Skaters*
Senior hockey skates are sized to fit adults and full grown teenagers with a Men's US shoe size of 7 or greater.
JUNIOR Hockey Skates
Junior hockey skates are sized to fit kids in the range of approximately 8 to 12 years old with a US shoe size of 2 to 6.5.

Youth hockey skates are sized to fit toddlers and young children in the age range of approximately 9 years old and younger with a US youth shoe size of 1.5 or smaller.
*Female Skaters*
The difference between men's shoes and women's shoes is 1.5 to 2 sizes. So, if you wear size 9 women's shoes, that translates to a men's size 7.5 or 7.0, which would put you in a size 6 senior hockey skate. More simply put, go 3 sizes down from your women's shoe size in order to find your hockey skate size.

It's not an all-black porn site nor is it exclusively interracial, but however you classify White Ghetto, it's an absurdly confusing and bizarrely arousing good time. With everything from midgets fucking grannies to teens fisting trannies, this is a site peddling only the most outrageous porn imaginable. With a growing HD collection and daily updates, the site offers quite a tidy little service and, while it won't be for everyone, those that find themselves enjoying White Ghetto will be devotees till the bitter end.
Home of acclaimed interracial porn studio West Coast Productions, WCP Club delivers super-fine hardcore starring the biggest black dicks in porn and the white, black, Asian, Latina and mixed babes that just can't get enough of that good, good dickin'! With HD videos online and photos forthcoming, WCP Club doesn't yet seem to be operating at full capacity, but until it gets there (which should be quite soon) there's updates every day of the working week to keep you thrilled to bits with the best interracial fucking on either coast.

Jonni Darkko might've started out in the glamorous world of fashion photography, but talent such as his is only wasted on clothed women, and Darkko flew the coop to sunny Los Angeles to try his hand at shooting hardcore porn. Signed by John Stagliano to his Evil Angel roster, Darkko soon made a name for himself as the master of POV-style cocksucking movies. Here on his official Jonni Darkko XXX website, though, there's a lot more than just the best blowjobs in porn, with stellar, sexy performers lining up to be captured in HD by Darkko's lens. Won't you take a peek?
Only a woman who has been around the block a few times and has been boned by all different kinds of guys can make a definitive statement as to her preference for sexual partners, and the MILFs of MILFs Like it Black make no bones about preferring big-dicked black guys. With more than 100 exclusive, original hardcore scenes that prove, stereotypes be damned, that nobody can deliver a pussy pounding quite like a well endowed African American gentleman, and that nobody can take such a solid dicking as well as a mature vixen seasoned in all manner of sexual acitivty, MILFs Like it Black is a ton of interracial fun. Still, there are a few problem areas in need of attention. Good thing the site sits under the Mofos banner, 'cause those guys sure know their porn!
Tiny4K combines the smallest women in hardcore porn - every girl's under 100lbs and taking on giant cocks! - with the largest HD video resolution currently available: 4K or 4096x2160 pixels. Yes, the same 4K resolution that's allegedly soon to dazzle your home theater system and is currently wowing cinema audiences around the world! Imagine: porn's hottest, smallest sluts straddling (and struggling to straddle) some of the industry's thickest dicks, all of it captured in truly astounding 4K detail. You'd be mad not to give Tiny4K a good, long look. Mad, I tells ya!
One of online porn's biggest networks, Reality Kings, recently added another site to its already extensive roster. But with only a few dozen scenes online, can this new site send waves of excitement and arousal through an old standard? If any site can, it's Teens Love Huge Cocks, where the brightest and most bodacious young starlets of today go to test their mettle and prove their porno staying power. Don't you wanna get in on the ground floor with these incredible babes?

When you're as obviously gifted as porno legend, Lex Steele, fucking for a living might not seem like such a big deal. For those readers considering giving Lex their hard-earned money, however, it's a very big deal indeed. Does Lex's official online hangout impress as much as his infamous member? Are the women adequately skilled and equipped enough to handle such a load? All these questions and more will be answered in this, Mr. Pink's third look at Lex's site. One thing is for sure, though, even at this early stage: prepare to be thoroughly amazed by the biggest, baddest cock in porn.
With a combined penile length of 38 inches, the trio of big-dicked boys starring on Mr. Biggz make this site a pornographic force to be reckoned with. Throw some of the horniest (and bravest) pornstars in the country down before Mr. Biggz, Shane Diesel, and Ramon and the results are electrifying! Stretched mouths, pussies, and, yes, even assholes abound here as ladies like Renae Cruz, Missy Monroe, and Audrey Hollander are put to the ultimate test: fucking a Mr. Biggz monstercock.

Sustainability Report 2013/14

Mobility issues are complex and rapidly changing – and too big for one company to solve on its own. Developing solutions to mobility challenges requires innovative, systems thinking, across a wide range of stakeholder groups. We partner with organizations that can give us access to the latest research, insights and integrative ability.
For example, Ford has been working with the University of Michigan's Sustainable Mobility and Accessibility Research and Transformation (SMART) project since 2005. SMART takes a collaborative, systems approach to developing innovative, sustainable and connected mobility and accessibility solutions in urban regions around the globe. Building on the seminal work of Moving the Economy in Toronto, SMART has pioneered new thinking, new partnerships and pilot projects related to emerging markets and industry development. SMART's technology transfer collaborations, which are active globally, focus on three primary areas: "Connecting the Dots" (taking a systems approach); "Moving Money" (advancing innovation and New Mobility industry, jobs and economic development); and "Moving Minds" (attitudes and behaviors of people and decision-makers related to New Mobility).
Ford and SMART are leveraging each other's strengths to develop New Mobility business opportunities and markets while seeking to improve quality of life, employment and other community benefits in cities around the world over the long term.
SMART has been working with Ford's support to develop new visual and analytical platforms and tools for advancing new mobility industry development and enterprise. These tools are focused on understanding how markets grow in general, and how they grow for New Mobility in particular, to support economic development from Mobility. Additional projects are assessing cultural and demographic shifts and entrepreneurship with the objective of informing our product, service and technology development as well as our new mobility marketing strategies.
This approach is reflected in our support for educational goals as well. SMART and Ford are among several organizations funding programs at the University of Michigan's Zell Lurie Institute, which gives students real-world experience studying and applying scalable, energy-efficient mobility systems that have been deployed in countries around the world.
For more information, visit the SMART website.
Also, see the Electrification section for a discussion of a partnership with Whirlpool and others focused on improving the energy efficiency of cars, homes and the electric grid as a system.
What's an automobile manufacturer doing working on bicycles? Furthering our vision for urban mobility.
In 2013, we announced a partnership with Dahon, a leader in folding bicycles, to produce a complete line of new Ford-branded bicycles. Expected to launch in 2014, the licensing agreement will create a range of folding bicycles and electronic bikes (also known as e-bikes) for adults and children.
Both Ford and Dahon are committed to delivering smart, high-quality mobility solutions that meet customers' needs. Together, the two companies hope to influence more people to change their transportation habits and reduce carbon emissions.

OLYMPIA — President Obama will hit the Washington state campaign ATM again next week. He's scheduled to attend two fundraisers in Seattle.
A press release this morning from the Obama campaign said Washington is on a list of stops the president will make to raise money: Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington and Louisiana.
No firm details on the stops yet, although there will be two in Portland before the two in Seattle.
Obama was last in Seattle, for a pair of fundraisers, on May 10, the day after he announced he'd changed his mind and was supporting same-sex marriage. He also made campaign money stops in Seattle in February and last September.

Hello there
It's been a while and I know there have been some people saying 'what happened'.
Two things
Firstly, I became a little concerned about the press freedoms and reprocussions of publishing material and links which would be… 'frowned' upon by our increasingly 'interested' Government. I'm just one guy. I can't afford legal and litigation. The new regulations – should they affect the Internet as well – could well put me and others who do this sort of thing in Shit Street for good, or worse. Of course, the UK is not the only place where politicians have been up in arms simply because they are not heard as much as they want to be, and their 'words of wisdom' are questioned with actual facts as opposed to the bigoted prejudice many of them spout. We'll see what happens in any case.Secondly, I got a bit lazy and tied up in my own problems to really dedicate that much time to it.
I'm going to try and start this thing up again; hopefully you will find some of the stories interesting, and then click on the originating link below to find out more.
I should get started.
What this blog is…
It's a mixture of stuff I found interesting or funny.
Mcphereson How to take calls.
There's a new childrens' show. I know I shouldn't say anything but I am so excited. I just had the call. Fortunately I remember most of it, so here is how I remember it.
ME : Hello? McPhereson residence?
(I always like to pretend I have a answering service. It gives people the impression that I am far too busy to answer the phone, thus making you appear 'in demand'. Which of course I am. For this purpose I have invented my own character, a Butler like voice, with his own hopes and dreams, his own interests and fears. Tip: If you try this avoid names like Jeeves or Rochester or Mrs Hudson. It becomes obvious it is you and can lead to some awkward conversations. I was once told what an awful boss I am and how the caller was surprised I hadn't molested myself yet. Needless to say I remained loyal to myself and couldn't comment. I was also offered a job with Shaun Ryder, such was the good impression I cast as my Butler and confidente 'Northumberland'.)
Caller : That you, Tarquin?
Me : No, it is myself, Mr Northumberland, his ever faithful servant and companion through many a scrape and caper.
Caller : (SIGHS) Is Tarquin there?
Me : Who shall I inform is placing this call?
Caller : Bill Obling.
Me : I shall see.
(At this point in the call I like to play some hold music. Restful melody is usually best. Anything too heavy metal like Elton John only sets them off. You can either play that or the sound of some Gulls.)
After a minute or so, put yourself through to you.
Me : Hello, Tarquin McPhereson speaking?
Caller : It's me, Bill Obling.
Me : Who?
(At this point it's often useful to make the other person repeat things, such as their name, designation etc. Unless extemely secure in themselves, it may make them question their work and worth. It's a trick I tried and perfected on my friend Richard Gren, just before they found his clothes on that beach.)
Caller : Don't dick me about, McPhereson. I have news.
Me : News?
(In my business, news is a technical term for items of fresh information which may or may not be of use and / or interest to oneself, provided by another for your consumtion, consideration and regurgitation)
Caller : We're going to make a new animated show. You know Bob The Builder?
(What actor has not heard of and seen Bob The Builder. His exploits are legendary. Although I would assume the tax people would have something to say about his preference for singing with a bulldozer as opposed to doing his accounts)
Me : Yes?
Caller : It's like Bob the Builder. But different. And we want YOU.
My attempts at getting a response out of the phone was met with a constant tone. I shall ring Bill and find out more.

Mcphereson Pantomime
Well, December is drawing to a close and so I fear is my stint in pantomime. Not that I fear a rest. There's only so many sweets you can fling at an audience while someone more famous than you stands there singing about grinning.
I don't think there's many pantomimes I haven't done. Pan, Alladin, Snow White, Cinders and a couple of others. I don't mention them on my CV, although a cursory look at my credits and certain news sites will give a flavour of what I achieved. I love the imagination of Pantomime, the sheer thrill that literally anything can happen. Many directors don't understand this, and insist on blocking and lines and actions being as they appear on the page, but sometimes an actor needs to spread his wings, to explore a part, to get under the skin of a character. Sack me if you will, but that is my opinion.
I well remember having this conversation with Su Pollard in her house one fine summers' night. "The trick is Su" I mused "To know your character. To put on the makeup and the clothes and look into your own eyes in the mirror and say 'who are you?' and 'What do you want?'" Su repeated those words to me and I knew the message had sunk in. She also made reference to my wearing her clothes and makeup. I bit my farewells to Ms Pollard as she went into the next room to use the phone. My tuition, I hoped, had helped this starlet, and indeed within months she was appearing in televisions' The Survivors as a corpse.
Pantomime of course is a staple of the Christmas entertainment resume, and I feel proud that I was asked to stand in at last minute for someone who was having dental work. To be considered for 'third pirate' was an honour indeed, and, as the director Frank Arbetter said, I was very lucky to get the part. Frank of course is steeped in theatrical legend like myself, having had a play on several of the most prominent stages at the Beaulieu Open Air Charity Theatre event, one of which I was lucky (again) to feature in called 'Thor-Rah' about a transvestite Viking. It wasn't a tremendous success, but oddly did reignite Moira Stewarts' career.
One of the things I love about Arbetter is his faith in his performers. He allows you full freedom to explore and express the motivations and the gamut of emotions of your character. Occasionally one will be rehearsing and hear a moan or grunt from the darkened area, the odd snort, that sort of thing. But he really trusts you to be faithful to the text, sometimes you would not even know he was there, and occasionally he actually isn't.
Pantomime of course is an annual event; many actors from both stage and screen clear their calendars and make their way to major and minor towns and cities to swash and buckle. I can't think of a single performer who hasn't donned tights and wig come Yuletide. I can think of several who have at Easter, or during a particularly prolonged bout of 'resting', but that's another tale.
One of the things about this particular genre is the heritage it represents. I spent a great deal of my time in preparation for this, watching Alan Ladd, Errol Flynn and anyone else who had gadded about in tights. Tights work – for the male – is surprisingly under-tutored in the thespianic world. In other forms, Ballet or suchlike, there are manuals and instructions and a certain number of magazines and websites dedicated to this subsection of the arts, but nil (as far as I could find) for the actor. A simple web search produced little of interest, let alone bookmark, and an enquiry at my local library resulted in a request to leave the premises. Even the great Mel Brooks failed in his documentary – I assume that's what it was – Men in Tights. I sat through about twenty minutes before becoming totally annoyed and sticking the cassette in a toaster. So not only am I no further in my exploration of male tight technique, I am also without toast.
Another aspect of pirate based activity is swordsmanship. There are few things which scream 'heroic lead' more than a sword fight. Guns are overused, knives are not dramatic enough and all that gadding about in martial arts… well, it's just not, is it? No, if you want an authentic, brave, charismatic male lead then you simply have to have a sword fight. And you need decent, manly swords as well, not these things which would look good next to the butter dish. To this end I have at my own expense, mind you, engaged the services of Francis Meng. Meng is probably the best sword fight teacher in the country.
(A word to the wise, if you are thinking of following my advice then look up these tutors under sword fighters, and not fencing. This is a mistake I have made, and some of the answers you will receive will be quite unsavoury)
Six weeks of an hour a day cavorting with sabres and I am quite the Zorro. Of course, I have had niks and grazes, slices and cuts and one particularly personal loss, but I really feel so much more comfortable (apart from the stitches) handling a sword now. Meng even said it was a pleasure to duel with me, and ceased charging me informing me that 'the slicing and dicing was payment enough'. Bring it on, I told him. He very much brought it on, to such an extent he got quite carried away and was about to reenact the Sean Connery death scene in Highlander when the doorbell went.
Ah, I have just had my call. So I must leave you. I shall return.

"So, any luck?" Kyra asked as the scientists tried to work out a plan.
"Only that you and Zak stay here with Fiskerton, but other than that, nothing," Doc admitted.
"Zak, are you alright?" Kyra sat next to him.
"Well, I just learned for the second time that I'm the reincarnation of an ancient evil cryptid and even worse, I thought the Kur power was gone for good. How do you think I feel?" He buried his head in his hands.
"Sorry, I was just trying to be nice," said Kyra. "But I'm sure we'll find a way to-"
"Kyra, I know you just want to help but there's nothing you can do," he said.
"Well, obviously I'm not a genie, but Kur and Kana are obviously connected more than we thought. I guess that could help us in the future," she managed to smile. "Why don't we get to know each other? My name is Kyra, I'm your sister, and Miranda forced me to learn violin and I know how to play a few songs on guitar. Now tell me some stuff about you."

2014 GMC Sierra [w/video]
Big And Boxy Might Be Best As immense fans of the Back to the Future trilogy, we sometimes like to envision an alternate timeline in which General Motors had killed off GMC and kept Pontiac instead. The G8 GXP would still be on the road handily beating German sport sedans costing twice as much, while the lowly G3 would morph into a true subcompact-killer based on what is now the Chevrolet Sonic RS. While we're at it, let's go ahead and imagine the G6 has become the best-selling car in the US and the Torrent crossover is selling 20,000+ units per month. Far-fetched, we know. The thing...

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be ...
Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle. We already told you ...
General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car ...
Good news, everyone – the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado will, in fact, have headlights. And projector beam ones, at that. Chevrolet has chosen to release this specific teaser image of its next-gen pickup truck to "showcase the careful attention given to every detail." We already knew that General Motors was planning to debut its new Silverado and GMC ...
The GMC brand celebrates its 100th birthday this year, and the 1912 New York Auto Show is where it all started. To commemorate the occasion, General Motors' utility brand has created special Heritage Edition packages for both the Sierra pickup and Yukon sport-ute, and both make their public debut here at the 2012 New York expo. An option group priced ...
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the GMC brand – something that first appeared at the 1912 New York Auto Show with models like a five-ton dumptruck. It will be the smaller passenger vehicles that do the celebrating, though, with Heritage editions of the Yukon, Yukon XL and Sierra 1500 Crew Cab being unveiled next week. The special edition ...

Cars are cool, but we certainly love ourselves some big, bad, hardcore pickups – you know, like the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. General Motors' conceptual answer to Ford's desert-blasting pickup is this, the Sierra All Terrain HD concept, which we'll be seeing for the first time at the Detroit Auto Show next week. GMC's brutish pickup relies on The ...
You don't have to wait until the 2011 Detroit Auto Show for a closer look at the forthcoming GMC Sierra All-Terrain HD concept.

PickupTrucks.com was kind enough to shoot not one, but ...
If you think the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is too hot yet the Dodge Ram Power Wagon is too cold, General Motors' latest concept might strike you as "just right." This, the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD concept, looks to bridge the gap between the two hardcore pickups from GM's crosstown rivals, while still offering top-notch levels of power, refinement and ...
For the first time in its history – and considering that the company has been around for over 100 years, that's significant – GMC decided to make an official appearance at the National Truck Equipment Association show in St. Louis. And the Professional Grade brand brought along the heavies... specifically, the 2011 GMC Sierra Denali HD. When ...
When the Two-Mode Silverado Hybrid hits the market next fall, it will likely boast best in class fuel economy while still managing to tow 6,100 lbs.

Where to get chihuahua cheese?
- r
- ReluctantOperaChick Dec 3, 2008 04:12 PM
I'm searching for chihuahua cheese, and I don't think I've ever seen it around this area. I just want to make queso fundido, nothing terribly elaborate - is there another Mexican cheese I can use? I live in Melrose so would love to find it around here somewhere, but whatever. Thanks!
A quick trip to Google got me to Ole, a Taste of Mexico in Cambridge. You should ask them where they get it then tell the rest of us. 617-492-4495.
More south than you were thinking, but Hi-Lo in JP and Village Market in Roslindale both carry it. I've also seen it at a couple of the bodegas in and around Roslidale / JP. You may want to try any of the Spanish markets or markets in predominantly Spanish-speaking neighborhoods in the Cambridge area. I assume it would be fairly easy to find in Chelsea and Everett for the same reasons.

I am pretty sure they have it at the Somerville Ave Market Basket--they have 4 or 5 different Latin American cheeses, and certainly a mild white melting cheese among them even if not specifically Chihuahua. The bodegas that would have it in Cambridge are in Area 4--El Tropical on Norfolk or the ones on Columbia Street.
re: dulce de leche
Not sure about Somerville MB but Everett's probably does.
re: Aromatherapy
Oops, meant to say Chelsea.
re: bostonbroad
Sorry, bostonbroad, I called both of the places you mentioned above and neither of them carries chihuahua cheese, unfortunately. I also walked around Area 4 (near Central Square) and neither of the bodegas I went to carried it. They also couldn't tell me of any place that carries it either :(
After doing a little research (which included a call back to my favorite Mexican grocery store in Milwaukee), I discovered, much to my dismay, that there is only ONE distributor of V&V Supremo Chihuahua Cheese in all of MA (none in RI or NH either): Perkins Paper, Inc. in Taunton. The only problem is: they sell it in 6-pound restaurant-sized packages! However, at only $22/package, I am considering it.
I am not sure about other brands of chihuahua cheese; the only brand I bought while living in Milwaukee was the V&V Supremo. Good luck all!
re: silver queen
Darn, I was really hoping to post what you did.
La Internacional market in Union Square, Somerville carries a lot of imported Mexican products. I'm not familiar with this particular cheese but you could give them a call - even if they don't have it they might know where you can find it.
Good question. I had a spicy beef enchilada with chihuahua cheese at Cantina in Saratoga Springs a couple of weeks ago, and it had a really nice flavor to it (mild and light, which went well with the beef). I'll be checking back on this thread as the day goes on to see what answers you get.
re: abattoir
The S&S on Rte 28 in Somerville might have it, too -- I've seen some interesting Latin American cheeses there, including a nice queso fresco I got recently that was wrapped in a banana leaf.
La Favorita market in Allston has several cheeses....I went looking for cotija and they did not have that but recommended an alternative (dry and crumbly, I think queso poroso or something like that). Not sure what chihuahua cheese is like, but maybe there is an alternative for that as well.
The Chelsea MB does carry chihuahua cheese, but at the old MB it wasn't always in stock. The new MB seems more regular with latino cheeses, but your mileage may vary. It is brought up from NYC. The Price Rite in Lynn also has it, they carry cheeses from Tropico (? from florida, who make most of the queso para frier) and one other large maker that I am forgetting. For other melting cheeses asadero is a bit easier to get, Oaxaca a bit harder. There are some other options in Chelsea and East Boston, but those are the locations I have seen it recently. For "werehouse" some S&S markets do carry more latino products (the Malden and Everett locations for example) and Peapod lists the V&V Supremo chunks, so you might find it (and its conceivable they could use a distributor out of CT). One of the Area 4 bodegas is Salvadoran, the other was Caribbean (originally cuban), so you'll find substitutes for queso blanco, cojita, creama, various fresh cheeses, queso para frier...
re: itaunas
Avoid Tropical brand cheeses: the quality is terrible. Their queso fresco tastes like it was made primarily from pencil erasers.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
I certainly agree, if you want to know what salted rubber tastes like, get the tropical queso para frier, fry/grill it, then eat it cold. That is why I gave the big edge to Chelsea Market Basket as they make an effort to source other products, along with some of the bigger manfacturers. From what I reacall the chihuahua they had was from the other mark (I think they had La Fe and Goya if I remember right) but in any case I brought something else today and they only had Tropical in stock... and a couple of melting cheeses, but no chihuahua.
You must have been pretty desperate to try the Tropical queso fresco, that is one type of cheese where there are various local options (some not exactly the same). Russo's at least carries basket cheese (Gigi's?), La Favorita might have some local or certainly NYC salvadoran cheese. Not convenient for BFP, but for others reference. Demoula's has Bom Petisco portuguese Fresh Cheese from RI, Fernandes Fish Market has Portuguese fresh from Leominster (manny's or something?) and Wesport (Martin's) . There is the Quesito El Establo Almansa mentioned (slightly different texture and un/less salted like a basket cheese) available at La Sultana in Somerville. La Sultana and Favorita, along with others, carry an apparent local salvadoran cheese sometimes now labeled el guanaco, including fresh along with seco and crema. Purity and I believe Gigi's make basket cheese year round, although I prefer Calabro (CT) and Supreme (RI) which sometimes can be ordered out of season (Sessa's gets some deliveries from Calabro... ), but at Easter time can be found all over such including McKinnon's and DeMoula's.
re: itaunas
Shaw's/Star carries Bom Petisco too - wonderful stuff, if you can find a soft one.
re: itaunas
As soon as I stated the new Chelsea MB was being more consistent about stocking Latino cheeses (and complained that PriceRite only had Tropical/Goya), not only have they been out of chihuahua cheese the last two times, but on the most recent visit they had expanded their selection of Tropical cheeses for central-American styles. Better story for Columbian cheeses (brought up from NYC). Like someone else I saw chihuahua once at the Somerville MB recently and that seems to be fairly consistently stocking Oaxaca now which they never carried so that is good news. In any case they are still inconsistent, but have the largest selection. When I get a chance I'll poke around some alternate stores in Chelsea (the supermarket which was part of the Compare chain and bodegas) to see whatever other options there are.
re: Uncle Yabai
i know that. but chihuahua cheese still sounds nasty. anyway. it's a joke son.
re: litchick
Bumping this thread. This past weekend, I had this cheese in a quesadilla. It was really good. When I asked the waiter what type it was, I thought he was kidding around. Has anyone seen Chihuahua cheese in the greater Boston area recently?

Greenfield - Some of the options for slowing traffic that blasts past Zablocki Park on Howard Avenue aren't very appealing, but they must be explored to try to keep children using the park safe, city officials say.
Residents continue to ask for help slowing drivers down, said Greenfield Board of Public Works chairwoman Linda Lubotsky.
"Zablocki Park is very busy with softball, baseball, volleyball," Lubotsky said, noting that even with children around and cars parked on both sides, people still speed.
Sidewalks run along part of Howard between 35th and 43rd streets, the stretch where the park is located, but even with those sidewalks, kids still need a safe way to cross Howard Avenue, said Richard Sokol, director of neighborhood services.
Actually, police speed studies show that Howard Avenue in that stretch isn't any worse than other two-lane roads in the city, Sokol noted.
"But a park where children play rates special consideration," he said.
What can be done?
To pay for improvements, the city could use some grant money left over from projects to redo three Howard Avenue intersections - at 38th, 39th and 40 streets.
One of options Lubotsky favors to calm traffic is a small roundabout. Sokol agreed that a roundabout would be helpful, especially if the turns are tight enough to adequately slow traffic.
Another option is a gentle movable speed bump, such as the one at Greenfield High School. Lubotsky said the advantage offered by a removable speed bump is to see how much additional noise the traffic calming device would generate and subsequent reactions from neighbors. Putting in a traffic calming measure that annoys neighbors only trades one problem for another, she noted.
There are other options, Sokol said, including regular speed bumps, gentler speed humps or raised intersections. But all those create noise and the bumps could damage cars, Lubotsky said.
Even raising intersections six inches and adding a textured roadbed creates tire noise that drives neighbors crazy, Sokol said.
Another option is narrowing the street, but Lubotsky said with cars parked on both sides there's danger of cars being sideswiped.
City consideration
The Board of Public Works might make a decision Feb. 26.
At that meeting, police will provide information on how much over the speed limit cars are typically driving.
Residents attending a Jan. 10 public information meeting were pleased that the city was trying to do something about the speeding, Lubotsky said.
WHAT: possible decision on speed-reduction methods for Howard Avenue between 35th and 43rd streets
WHEN: 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26
WHERE: Greenfield City Hall, 7325 W. Forest Home Ave.

President Barack Obama proposed cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions from the nation's power plants by an average of 30 percent from 2005 levels, a central part of his plan to fight climate change that also carries political risk.
Bloomberg BNA — Investors in coal-burning utilities are brushing off a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court this week that gave federal regulators more power to control air pollution.
Edison International, owner of California's second-largest electric utility, is "compelling" for investors seeking under-valued companies, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.'s Hugh Wynne said.
Coal-dependent power companies from American Electric Power Co. to Duke Energy Corp. face billions of dollars in added costs from the Obama administration's proposed climate rules. Renewable-energy backers and nuclear generators like Exelon Corp. stand to gain from the effort to shift the foundations of the U.S. energy industry.
The future of President Barack Obama 's plans to redesign the U.S. energy system with low- emission nuclear plants may hinge on reactors across the Pacific Ocean as Japan's nuclear disaster renews a debate about the safety of plants.
Exelon Corp., the largest U.S. nuclear power producer, may begin to see its low-emissions strategy pay off -- four years after it lost a fight for climate legislation it told investors would add $1.1 billion in annual earnings.
American Electric Power Co. may sell its Kentucky Power utility if state regulators don't approve a customer rate increase to help pay for added environmental costs.
U.S. utilities' promise of providing steady returns and plump dividends to investors is fading as growing competition erodes prices and profits.
Nuclear power plant operators won a significant victory yesterday when a federal appeals court said the U.S. should stop collecting $750 million a year for a spent- fuel repository it has never built.
"There are very few companies currently building new coal plants."

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A report says sparks produced during maintenance probably caused last month's fire at Soudan Underground Mine State Park near Tower.
The state fire marshal says the fire began in the shaft where the work was happening and didn't spread beyond it. It's considered accidental.
Damage to the mine was limited to charred timbers and melted PVC pipes and electrical wiring. The University of Minnesota physics laboratory was unharmed.
Park staff was replacing degraded steel sheeting in the lowest 600 feet of the mine shaft. The fire started after grinding tools caused pieces of wood to smolder.
Experts will visit the mine in coming weeks to determine costs of repair and cleanup.
The park's above-ground facilities have reopened, but public tours of the underground mine likely won't be offered this season.

Oh no! Spilled overpriced coffee on myself. Look at the pretty dresses and separates -- I'll put together a new ensemble, complete with cute straw bag and iridescent bracelets. That ostentatious old man over there also mussed up his clothes; he'll probably grab some snazzy designer golf threads to go with the balls he's fondling. My whiny niece wants my new jewelry; instead I'll buy her Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss books. The latest Clancy, Cornwell, and Grisham -- great gifts for Mom and Dad -- are also available, though nothing from my lit class reading list. I guess I'll grab one of these magazines instead. Now, should I get my usual chips and chocolates or indulge in faux tropical (put coconut on anything, and they'll call it tropical) treats? Carrying all this merchandise makes my arms ache -- but here's a display full of tiny medicines and, to boot, replacement toiletries for all the stuff I left on the airplane. The Atlanta-based Paradies Shops did a good thing by opening this airport über-boutique in December after closing a few smaller stores. I can't help but agree with a traveler pushing a baby stroller, who spots the individually wrapped diapers and exclaims à la Elwood Blues: "This place has everything!"

November 26, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- The country's leading pediatricians group is pushing again to have all children screened for autism twice by age two.
The advice is meant to help both parents and doctors spot autism sooner. There is no cure for the disorder, but experts say early therapy can make it less severe.
Symptoms to watch for and a call for early screening come in two new reports.
They are being released by the American Academy of Pediatrics at its annual meeting in San Francisco and will appear in the November issue of the journal Pediatrics and on the group's Web site.
The symptoms could include babies who don't babble at nine months or one year-olds who don't point to toys.
But experts point out that not all children who display a few of these symptoms are autistic and say parents shouldn't overreact to quirky behavior.
