Recent Fleece Glove/Mitten Reviews
Outdoor Research Men's PL Base Gloves
Great for adding a few more degrees of warmth to winter gloves. Good simple liners. Definitely not a stand-alone glove, but they do their job well. Full review
Marmot Men's Connect Glove
They were my biggest disappointment in a long time. Fit & Comfort: These gloves started off great. They kept my hands warm while outdoors and allowed me to check my phone without having to de-glove. Sadly however, they began to stretch and lose their fit after a couple weeks until they felt awkward to wear. The only way to gain any use form them now is to wear a thin pair of gloves underneath. Water Resistance: None Warmth: Very little warmth was provided with these gloves. With the permanent… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's PL 400 Gloves
Ignoring OR's description, these gloves are great for cool weather. They ARE NOT 'Toasty warm in the bitter cold' as a liner. This glove seems to be designed as a glove, not as a liner. Great coupled with a thin liner inside these gloves will keep you warm to about 40°F-ish. Inexpensive, these gloves are best used for day-to-day activities where I'm not worries about fire embers, etc. Not the PL 400! Yes. These gloves are really a great value for their not-intended purpose. OR's website is misleading… Full review
Marmot Men's Connect Glove
Finally, i'm able to use my iPhone without having to take off my gloves! I found these gloves at the Marmot outlet in San Francisco. I've been wearing another set of softshell Marmot gloves for years and have always loved them. I know that companies have had touchscreen friendly gloves for a while but i'm just late to the game I guess. So these gloves do work. They have a silver goldish material that allows our fingers electrical field to pass through the glove and trigger our device's screens. … Full review
Manzella Chinook Windstopper Gloves
I wish they resisted coming apart as well as they resist the cold. Remember the Gremlins movie that warned about bad things happening if you got the little rascals wet? That applies to these gloves. Manzella makes these gloves by sandwiching a Gore-type membrane between two thin layers of soft fleece. The combination makes the gloves pretty warm without the bulk of your average ski-type gloves. This membrane is the best and worst part of the gloves; it stops the wind very nicely but they also… Full review
The North Face Men's Pamir WindStopper Glove
Not the best. I received these gloves as a gift to go with my North Face Sentinel Windstopper jacket. Overall I would have to says that they were just ok. I do like the Windstopper fabric and it does a good job of being breathable but yet keeping my hands warm. The downside of these was there were not that durable. The plastic/rubber grips didn't last too long. There were also a too of seams inside that weren't the most comfortable. Lastly, the sizing was also a bit odd. The width of the finders… Full review
The North Face Men's Denali Glove
General duty fleece gloves. Decent/thoughtful construction. Not very comfortable without liners. There are better options. These are what i think of as general purpose winter gloves. The fleece is medium thick, and they are sized to accommodate a pair of liner gloves. Across the palm and on each fingertip, there is a swatch of grippy/rubbery material, a plus. The wrist is elastic but not annoyingly so, and the cuff/end of the glove is mildly elastic. My main complaint is that the inner seams are… Full review
Black Diamond Powerstretch Glove
I picked up this glove to use as a liner in my Mountain Hardwear Hydra shell gloves for a trip up Mt. Shasta last summer. I picked them over other similar lightweight gloves because of the leather palm. That little bit of added dexterity is great. These gloves do the exact job they're designed for. Minimum weight with maximum comfort and dexterity. They're definitely not for frigid temperatures but in cool weather their very easy to stuff in a pocket and have ready. I had them on a recent trip out… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Gripper Gloves
these may be the most versatile gloves i own, and certainly the gloves i use and abuse the most. I am on my second pair. the gripper gloves are made from windstopper fleece. the first two fingers and palm are made of windstopper fleece with the outer surface coated or impregnated with some kind of rubberized compound that makes that area of the gloves much more grippy than ordinary fleece. hence the name. i wear these gloves alone in cooler weather, for driving in the winter, or if i'm shoveling… Full review

Salutations Acolytes,
I would like to call your attention to the new Knowledge is Power 2010 to 2011 that has now been released for your enjoyment. Check out the official announcement here!
Posted 12 July 2010 - 07:53 AM
Very nice. Could you tell us what ranks the adventure trilogy is for? I'm hoping they are released much closer together than the Haarlock Legacy.
I imagine the sourcebooks will be good for all levels, including ascended.
Posted 12 July 2010 - 07:56 AM
Nice, thanks for the update Mack. The upcoming releases look pretty interesting.
One minor quibble though, has the release date for the first part of the Apostasy Gambit (Black Sepulchre) been typo'd? It seems a little strange that the first part is to be made available after the other two.
Posted 12 July 2010 - 07:58 AM
Rock! It seems a lot of the books that we've been wanting are actually coming. The Blood of Martyrs and Book of Judgment have me rather excited, especially if they delve a bit deeper into the Imperial Creed and Imperial Law. Nice!
Posted 12 July 2010 - 09:00 AM
I would say that this has been the best release information for any game line I have ever seen. At least in so much as it pleases what I was hoping for from said line.
I was hoping for exactly this. If I had to compile my list of things it was almost 100% checked off....
More info on the Ecclisiarchy? Check!
With Info on Sororitas as well? Check!
More info on the Arbites and the Legal systems of the Imperium? Check!
With info to run something Akin to Necromunda, gangers and the LAW! Check! (This may not be so doable as I hope, but I feel this book would hold the key)
More Info on the Daemon Hunters, the Grand Ordo Malleus? Check!
With Info on the Grey Knights? CHECK CHECK AND CHECK!!!!
More info on the Imperial Guardsman that line the front lines of countless wars across the Imperium? Check!
With expanded vehicle rules and info for running an IG campaign? Check!
More info on the Warp, the beings and things found therein and the things man should not know? Not so check, but still nearly every item.
Top it off with another trilogy adventure and I am literally close to dancing with joy!
Posted 12 July 2010 - 09:29 AM
I am so happy that attention is brought to clerics, scum and guardsmen. It seemed to me that they got a little to less of attention.
Anyway, I hope for good rules to make frevent believe a game factor. Vehicle rules will be nice, too. If the "scum & arb" book has something more to say about live in a hive... well, I am will be so ever-gradefull.
Cannot wait for fall! Oh... "Into the Storm" is underway...so perhaps I can *s*
Posted 12 July 2010 - 10:32 AM
Drat and double drat !!!!!
This little collection is going to hurt my wallet, a lot. Oh well, the price of being a DH junkie
Posted 12 July 2010 - 10:44 AM
Hey that's great news!
I'm buying all of them, heh heh
However, any plans for detailing Tech Priests? It seems to be the least covered subject so far.
Thanks Mack, I have my faith in you.
Posted 12 July 2010 - 11:37 AM
Thats a classic typo (but worrying for production quality) on the Apostasy Trilogy with the first part of it being published last!
Posted 12 July 2010 - 11:39 AM

Not necessarily - there is still winter at the start of 2011...
Posted 12 July 2010 - 12:13 PM
So... these vehicle rules. Are they going to be the same as the Into the Storm rules?
I hope so. I'd hate to have two different systems for vehicles in two RPG's that largely share the same rule set.
And this all sounds great, and it's nice to see that the first new DH release isn't "Dark Heresy 2nd Ed - now with cards and counters and unnecessary proprietary dice!". I just wish the books were coming out in reverse order. That Guard book sounds awesome.

Reading through the whole story I see a lot of hints at what the books might contain. Totally awesome.
I can't wait to see the new trilogy. Hopefully it's a bit more "epic" than the last one.
Oh and did I say Grey Knights? Cus...
Posted 12 July 2010 - 02:32 PM
GREY KNIGHTS! I will second or third that or whatever...Grey Knights....

Posted 12 July 2010 - 07:43 PM
ZOMG ! What a line up of books. Personally i wouldn't mind getting my hands on those source books (all of them)..i need them.. I CRAVE THEM!
Ecclisiarchy, vehicle rules (expanded?), THE LAW !, underhives and deamon hunters.... pure undeniable win !
Posted 12 July 2010 - 08:22 PM
Its nice to here about all these products and the beginning of what seems like cross pollination between the lines.
Vehicles rules for DH, hopefully from Rogue TRader and maybe (even if its not a complete list) a little starter on how to use Deathwatch rules to run a Grey Knight game.
Very exciting series of books.
- Raith
Posted 12 July 2010 - 08:32 PM
My only real complaint about it (other than the lack of a psyker book) is that everything is coming out next year apart from the Martyr book.
I want my nice new shiny things now.
Posted 12 July 2010 - 09:09 PM
Wow, FFG! Once again, you ROCK the 40K RPG world!
Almost everything I could have hoped for. Only complaint ... I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG! I want them now!
Posted 12 July 2010 - 11:01 PM
Blood of Martyrs and the Book of Judgement are quite possibly the two most exciting Dark Heresy related announcements yet. Both the Ecclesiarchy and the Arbites are beginning to be detailed. And Fall 2010 for the first! This is most excellent.
Posted 13 July 2010 - 12:15 AM
Extremely awesome. Can't wait for those books.
Still, no love for the AdMech?
There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal.
There is no strenght in flesh, only weakness.
There is no constancy in flesh, only decay.
There is no certainty in flesh but death.

"We call it an eight-year overnight success because we had been dreaming about moving to Nashville for a long time," says Hannah Blaylock, who relocated to Nashville with bandmates Dean Berner and Cherrill Green in 2007. The Arkansas natives met through mutual friends.
"The other day, I actually looked at Cherrill and was like, 'Do you remember when we would drive around in Russellville, Ark.?" Blaylock recalls. "We'd say, 'Man, it's going to be so cool someday to move to Nashville and do what we love.' We'd just sit there and dream about it to each other."
Once in Nashville, they kept their performances private -- with most shows taking place in the living room of the house they shared in East Nashville. By hiding out and working on their music, they say they were able to develop under the radar and curb any outside influences from seeping into their sound.
Well-established songwriter Kye Fleming encouraged them to move from Arkansas to Music City after hearing material they submitted for a songwriting competition. And she continued to champion and mentor them upon their arrival. When Fleming was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009 with credits like Barbara Mandrell's "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool," Ronnie Milsap's "Smoky Mountain Rain" and Sylvia's "Nobody," she asked the band to perform a medley of her compositions at the induction ceremony.
"It was such a special night for us," says Green. "We had not at that point been playing out in Nashville at all, so it was really a showcase for us to the music industry. The entire music industry goes to those things."
That very night, Big Machine Records' CEO Scott Borchetta walked up and scheduled a meeting. When they arrived in his office the next morning, he offered them a record deal.
Yet looking back, they realize they almost missed their shot at the big time.
"Do you remember the night of the [Songwriters Hall of Fame] awards show?" Berner asks his bandmates. "There was a video on Tammy Wynette, and we were supposed to go backstage during that. Someone was going to come get us and take us backstage, and it didn't happen. We looked at each other like, 'We're supposed to be back there.' We headed backstage, and we had to run all the way across the backstage and grab our instruments. We didn't have time to think about anything, about getting nervous before our performance.
"We walked out, we plugged in, and they were like, '... and here's Edens Edge.' We played the medley of Kye's songs, and it was actually fortunate that we didn't have any time to prepare because we would've probably gotten nervous. We just showed up and did it," Berner added.
"One of the biggest challenges of performing is not letting your mind get the best of you. We were fortunate that we didn't have time to get nervous," Blaylock says. "The best thing that you can do is turn your brain off, just not think about it. Don't think about the people that are out there. Don't think about what anybody else thinks. Just have fun in the bliss of hearing the music that you're making, not only with each other but that you're making inside of your own body and your own fingers."
Blaylock stands front-and-center as the lead singer, but the band's sound is rooted in three-part harmony and unique instrumental lineup. Berner's Dobro licks and Green's mandolin skill give their music almost an old-time feel, even as the songs and singing are quite contemporary.
Green says growing up in a family bluegrass band helped prepare her for the big stage.
"I think my first festival I was about 2 weeks old, so I just grew up around music constantly. At festivals, you're always going to these little jam sessions where you're just walking along with your instrument and you just sit down and someone starts playing," she says.
"Also, it was my chance to play in front of people. I grew up with a family in a bluegrass band, so being onstage in front of people was one of the most valuable things in becoming an artist and performer. It's learning to wipe away the fact that you're standing up in front of all these people. When you've been around it, it feels more and more natural."
With their debut single, "Amen," making waves at country radio in 2011, the trio hit the road with Reba McEntire, Lady Antebellum and Brad Paisley. Their dramatic video for "Too Good to Be True" is now on CMT.com, and a deluxe edition of their album is available at Cracker Barrel.
People are already approaching the band with questions on how to break into the business.
"I had a fan email me and was like, 'What did you do in your life to get to where you are today?'" Blaylock recalls. "I started listing different things that I did, and it was overwhelming to read it all at once. I finally said, 'I'm sorry if I've overwhelmed you, but honestly what I was doing was just doing what I loved. ... So if it's a passion for you, you don't need to worry about it. You'll want to do it when opportunities come and God will open the doors for you.' It was crazy to see the list because it's really proved to me that I love what I do."

All along, I knew I was going to take advantage of the CDA-9887's IMPRINT ™ sound tuning capability as the final stage in the audio makeover of my SUV. Let me explain: ...
by Robert Ferency-Viars
Watch this video for a step-by-step overview of a basic car stereo installation. The installation shown in this video is only one example - the actual steps involved vary from car to car.
The Crutchfield MasterSheet™ is a vehicle-specific set of instructions that shows you how to install a receiver and speakers in your vehicle. In this video, we give you a look at all of the work that goes into creating these instructions. What's more, this same research is used to fuel our massive vehicle database. When we tell you we know what fits, we really do.
by Ken Nail
Most people spend a lot of their in-car time listening to the radio, so why not ensure time is enjoyable? Ken looks at the cool features you'll enjoy from many HD Radio receivers.
It's not enough that the Kenwood KIV-BT901 digital media receiver can play audio and video from most USB devices. When you connect your iPhone®, you can also stream and control PANDORA® Internet radio. Watch our video for a quick demonstration of the stereo's capabilities.
by Zak Billmeier
Check out how the free installation gear you get with most car stereos and car speakers bought from Crutchfield helps you do your own installation. Our vehicle-specific instructions, wiring harnesses, adapters, and expertise will save you time and money, and most importantly, help ensure that you enjoy your gear for years to come.
Crutchfield's Marketing team decided to give their outgoing manager a parting gift: a new sound system for his 1998 Jeep Wrangler. Only one thing stood in their way - this would be the first time they had installed audio gear in a car. Watch them install a receiver and two sets of speakers, proving once and for all that with Crutchfield's help, you CAN install it yourself - and save a lot of money in the process.
If you've got a 4" double-DIN opening in your dash, add some style and flash with Clarion's CX201. But it's not just a pretty face — check it out in this short video demo.
by Robert Ferency-Viars, Video Team
We got the skinny on the Pioneer DEX-P99RS CD receiver directly from Pioneer. This stereo is unsurpassed for delivering audiophile-quality sound in the car.
Clarion's CX501 CD receiver strikes a handsome pose in your double-DIN dash opening, and you can tailor its look to your vehicle's interior by choosing from 728 possible illumination colors. Throw in iPod® and iPhone® control, built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calls, plus a 2-line display, and you're ready for the open road
by Matt Freeman
Bluetooth isn't just about hands-free calling. It also gives you wireless music streaming from smartphones and other Bluetooth devices. In this article, Crutchfield walks you through what you need to know to about using Bluetooth in the car.
Brad, a DJ at 106.1 The Corner in Charlottesville, VA, tells us why he's so excited for the future of HD Radio. He likes the sound quality advantages, and thinks there is a lot of potential in multicasting, which lets radio stations publish additional content on the same radio frequency.
Do you want a full-featured CD receiver that'll jazz up the look of the double-DIN opening in your car's dash? Axxera's X2DMA500 features iPod® controls and built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calling and audio streaming along with some sharp styling. Check it out in this short demo video.
One of the problems with replacing your factory radio with a new receiver, is that those handy stereo controls built into the steering wheel won't work anymore. The way to solve this dilemma is to install an adapter for the steering wheel audio controls. Watch this video to see what's involved in the process.
Not only does Dual's XDMA6510 CD receiver offer built-in controls for your iPod® or iPhone®, but they've included a mount for it too. So, now you can keep your player right where you'd like it while you drive. Check out the '6510 in this short demo video.
It's nice when you can plug your iPod® into your car stereo and play all your tunes on the road, but where do you keep your player when you're driving? Sony's DSX-S310BTX receiver solves this dilemma with its innovative Tune Tray. It lets you connect your iPod and store it inside the stereo, keeping it secure and charged while you drive. Take a look at the Tune Tray and more in this demo video.
On the outside, Sony's DSX-210X looks a lot like your typical in-dash receiver. But it's what's behind the faceplate that counts on this neat design — flip the face forward, and out pops what Sony calls the "Tune Tray," a custom-made pocket for your iPod®. Take a look at that, and more, in this demo video.
As the "BT" in the name suggests, JVC's KD-R820BT CD receiver has built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calling and audio streaming. But that's not the end of the story for this capable in-dash control center. Check it out in this short demo video.
Axxera's XDMA7600 will be a colorful addition to your dash, thanks to the variable color choices for the large display and buttons. But there are plenty of features to go with the light show. Check it out in this short demo video.
Axxera's XDMA7800 CD receiver is packed with features you love to play with, plus a well-rounded set of inputs. Check it out in this short demo video.

I was hoping for stat corrections to save my butt in my other fantasy league (the one with actual $ on the line) last week. I had the Steeler D/ST, and sacks are worth 1 point. The Steelers were credited for 1 sack against the Titans by LaMarr Woodley. I was waiting for them to credit Troy a sack too for when he burst through the line at the snap of the ball and tackled Jake Locker for a 3 yard loss. I lost last week by 0.8. If that play is a sack (I see no reason why it shouldn't be), then I would have won by 0.2 instead. Anyone have any idea why that isn't a sack?
Man i gotta make a turnaround. My team isn't terrible, but the results are. I feel like the Steelers. I'll blame it on my line and OC.

A federal judge on Wednesday struck down the death penalty in California, calling the system arbritrary and unconstitutional. "California's death penalty system is so plagued by inordinate and unpredictable delay that the death sentence is actually carried out against only a trivial few of those sentenced to death," U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney wrote. "For all practical purposes then, a sentence of death in California is a sentence of life imprisonment with the remote possibility of death -- a sentence no rational legislature or jury could ever impose."

Over the years, I've been gradually trying to add more organic products to my shopping cart. Amy's, with their delicious pizzas, chili, burritos, and other vegetarian options has been one of my favorite brands for a few years now. Having been in the mood for soup lately, I picked up a can of Amy's Organic Lentil Soup, something which I had yet to try.
This is a ready-to-go soup; just dump the contents into a bowl and nuke until warm. I cut through the lid with a can opener (no pop-top here), and dumped the contents into a microwave-safe bowl. The soup was a greenish-brown, with lots of visible lentils and carrots. I gave it a zap, stirred, and zapped again until piping hot.
I took a bite and was greeted by a thick, hearty broth with perfectly cooked lentils. But the flavor? Yikes ... to say that it's lacking would be nice. To say that it's nonexistent would be honest. There's carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion listed on the ingredients list, but they all have the exact taste and texture of the lentils, and are completely lost in the soup. I was sorely tempted to add salt for just a little flavor, but the fact that this isn't a low-sodium soup prevented me from reaching for the shaker.
Each can of Amy's Organic Lentil Soup (2 servings) provides 360 calories, 9 grams of total fat which includes 1 gram of saturated fat (16% and 6% of the daily value), 1180 mg sodium (50% of the DV - yikes!), 70% of the daily value for fiber, and 16 grams of protein. It's also 99% organic and 100% vegan.
Although the amount of fiber and protein is the envy of a lot of "canned soups", the lack of flavor isn't worth the $1.50 I paid for this. I'll continue to buy from Amy's, but perhaps I'll stick to my trusted standby for a while: Amy's Organic Light Sodium Low Fat Split Pea Soup

Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act
Despite the best efforts of the state and local community, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was unwilling to bring the Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act to the floor for a vote by the full House of Representatives in the final days of the congressional session. The measure would have enabled state and local governments to compel online retailers to collect and remit taxes from remote sales, and extended the current moratorium on the taxation of Internet access for ten years.
Pension Plans Can Provide Retirement Income at Half the Cost of Individual Accounts
Defined benefit plans are inherently more cost-efficient than defined contribution plans, according to A Better Bang for the Buck, an updated study by the National Institute on Retirement Security.

Pensions Help Recruit and Retain High-Quality Workers, Research Finds
Cutbacks in public pensions could hurt worker quality, as research shows that pensions help recruit and retain high-quality workers, according to a brief from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. One indicator of quality is the wage that a worker can earn in the private sector, and by this measure, states and localities consistently have a "quality gap" – the workers they lose have a higher private-sector wage than those they gain, the center's research found.

Updated: April 5, 2013 10:18AM
Before sitting down for a screening of the movie "Psycho," Patrick Brennan stopped to remember Roger Ebert.
"He was the first man to teach me that movies could be more than something to do on a Sunday afternoon," the 27-year-old from Lakeview wrote Thursday in a book left out for people to sign at the Gene Siskel Film Center. The book will be delivered to Ebert'swidow, Chaz.
Ebert, who died Thursday, inspired many moviegoers who were at the theater named for Ebert's longtime TV partner.
Shelby Shaw, a film student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, said she always hoped to make a film that Ebert would one day review.
The 20-year-old who lives in Lakeview would tell herself, "I'm going to keep making films [and] I'm going to make a film he's going to love one day."
For Alex Smith, a film student at Columbia College, Ebert was "a piece of the puzzle" that helped guide him to the film world, he said. And while he often agreed with Ebert's reviews, he immediately thought of one he said the critic, got totally wrong.
"Dumb and Dumber," Smith, 31, of River North said. Ebert gave the comedy just two stars. "I thought it was fantastic," Smith said.
Many, like Maureen Brill, 56, of the Gold Coast, said Ebert was an icon, and his death marks "the end of an era."
Before "Psycho," a film Ebert named one of the great movies, began to play, Jean de St. Aubin, the executive director of the Siskel center, told moviegoers, "Come back to the movies. Roger would be very happy about that."

Oh yes they do. Most Christians don't even realize the Bible endorses sex slavery and capital punishment for girls who have sex before marriage. Studies have shown that atheists tend to actually know more about the Bible than Christians.
Did you read the thread title? I called it "funny anti-religious Internet pics" and not "rational religious discussion" for a reason.
Wow, you are really clueless. The debate in that thread wasn't really about evolution. It went off-topic, and was about whether or not we can say for sure, given the evidence, that there's definitely only one god, as opposed to no gods, or multiple gods.
If me correctly stating that evolution is a fact (and a theory) bothers you, most anything will.

The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.

Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).

McMinnville teen held responsible for conduct in toddler's death
Nov 2, 2012 | 8 Comments
By Paul Daquilante
Of the News-Register
Judge Ronald Stone ruled Friday morning in favor of the prosecution in in the criminally negligent homicide trial of 13-year-old Alfredo Valeriano Jr. of McMinnville.
He was tried in connection with the Oct. 3, 2011 death of 16-month-old Aayden Cantu.
The terms "convicted" and "sentenced" are not used in juvenile cases. The verdict places Valeriano under jurisdiction of the Yamhill County Juvenile Court.
He was placed on 60 months probation and ordered to serve 15 days in the juvenile facility. With credit for time served, he has completed that term. However, he was ordered to serve an additional 30 days.
Valeriano will receive a mental health evaluation, undergo treatment if it is recommended and those reports will be forwarded to his probation officer. He is currently undergoing mental health counseling.
The teen is prohibited from having unsupervised conduct with minors unless approved by his probation officer. He is currently living with his biological father, Alberto Valeriano Sr., and there are no other children in the home.
He was fined $200 and ordered to pay what Stone called "reasonable restitution" in the amount of about $4,500. There is a 60-day window for the state to determine an accurate figure.
Stone waived Valeriano's court-appointed attorney fees which amount to thousands of dollars. Carol Fredrick of McMinnville represented him.
"We demand an explanation when a child dies," Stone said in delivering his decision. "It cries for justice. This was not an act of God but of criminal negligence."
Stone later said, "I have come to the conclusion that he did not intend to hurt Aayden, but I am holding him responsible."
Valeriano made a brief statement but spoke in such a low tone of voice that what he said was barely audible.
"There's a debt that you will never be able to repay," Stone told him. "One way of repaying it is by being a good man."
Stone said one thing that troubled him during the weeklong trial was the fact Valeriano showed no emotion during any of the testimony that was given.
Aayden's father, Roberto Cantu of Dayton, testified Tuesday but did not return to the trial any other day. Deputy District Attorney Lisl Miller explained he did not want to hear any of the evidence by way of testimony that was presented. He did not want to be present for the verdict, according to Miller.
"He did what he had to do (testify), and after that, he felt it was out of his hands," Miller said.
Stone praised the work of both Fredrick and Miller in preparing for the trial and presenting their cases.
See Tuesday's print edition for additional details.

Alfredo Valeriano Jr. took the witness stand Thursday as his trial on one count of criminally negligent homicide wrapped up its fourth day in Yamhill County Circuit Court. Judge Ronald Stone is hearing the bench trial.
He was the first defense witness called by court-appointed attorney Carol Fredrick after Deputy District Attorney Lisl Miller said the state was ready to rest its case.
Valeriano, 13, was in the seventh grade at Duniway Middle School in McMinnville when he was charged by McMinnville police in connection with the Oct. 3, 2011 death of 16-month-old Aayden Cantu.
Aayden, who sustained multiple skull fractures, was first taken to the McMinnville Immediate Health Care facility on Northeast 19th Street. The staff there called 911 to summon an ambulance that rushed him to the Willamette Valley Medical Center were he was pronounced dead following extensive life-saving measures by the health care and hospital emergency room staffs.
State Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Clifford Nelson conducted an autopsy on Aayden and testified the cause of death was blunt force head trauma and the manner of death was homicide. McMinnville Police Detective Toby Carver, who doubles as a medical examiner for Yamhill County, testified to the same cause and manner of death.
The incident occurred at 1355 N.W. Second St., No. 21, the McMinnville residence where Valeriano lived with his stepfather, Felimon Garcia-Reyes, his biological mother, Asucena Ruiz-Larita, and two young siblings. Garcia, who currently is lodged in jail, and Ruiz both testified for the state.
A friend, Roberto Cantu, who now lives in Dayton, moved in a few months earlier with Garcia and his three children. No adults were present at the time of the incident.
Valeriano had babysat his siblings, as well as Cantu's children, in the past. On this occasion, Cantu asked the boy to watch some of the children when he went to WinCo for groceries.
Before resting the state's case, Miller called 17 witnesses, in addition to playing an audio only recorded interview Carver conducted with Valeriano and an audio and video recorded interview that Carver and detective Michelle Formway conducted with the teen.
It was during the audio and video interview that Valeriano demonstrated how Aayden and his little sister were squabbling on the living room floor. His sister wanted to hug Aayden, who did not want to be hugged, and that touched off a tussle between the children. Valeriano admitted the squabbling "kind of made me mad." He said he was frustrated.
He said he went over to the two, picked up his sister with his right arm and, with the palm of his left hand, he hit Aayden on top of his head. Valeriano said Aayden stood up, walked over to a corner of the room, stood there for about a minute and then walked over to where a futon was sitting. He leaned over and put his head on the piece of furniture.
That's when Valeriano said he picked Aayden up and laid him on the futon where other children he was watching would soon be resting. Shortly thereafter, he said he heard Aayden making noises, and they were gurgling sounds, based on a demonstration he gave.
Later, Valeriano's stepfather, Garcia, who had come home from work, and Aayden's father, who has returned from the store, decided to seek medical attention for the toddler because he was acting in an unresponsive manner.
Valeriano appeared calm on the witness stand. He never displayed any signs of emotion during questioning from Fredrick or Miller.
He told Fredrick he "kind of felt comfortable" babysitting the kids. However, he would get tired.
Valeriano said he told Aayden and his sister to stop fighting, and that's how the activity that the two were engaged in has been described during the trial. He said he does not think he hit Aayden hard on the top of his head and he did not plan to him hard.
The teen punched a door at home so hard once that it left a gouge in it, and the mark on the door could be seen during the video interview. Valeriano also admitted hitting a wall at home in the past.
"Did you hit Aayden as hard as you hit the door and the wall?" Fredrick asked him. "Maybe," was Valeriano's response.
On cross-examination by Miller, he admitted hitting one of his sisters once before when he thought she was misbehaving.
Valeriano told Miller that he knew someone could get hurt by being hit and he said he knows it isn't right to hit someone else. He said he didn't realize someone could died if they were hit hard enough in the head.
"Isn't it true that you told detective Formway that this (hitting Aayden) was not an accident?" Miller asked him. "I don't remember that." he said.
Miller continued, "What is it today?" He replied that it was an accident.
On re-direct examination by Fredrick, she asked Valeriano if he liked Aayden, and he replied that he did.
Duniway Middle School Assistant Principal Lysha Wasser testified for the defense following the teen. He said he focused largely on language development last year, and helped construct an Individual Education Program for Valeriano. Wasser described him as a "model student," who understands right from wrong and the consequences of his actions.
The defense rested following Wasser's testimony.

I agree that adults need to be held responsible though, 13 is not old enough to care for multiple kids, it can get frustrating and even some adults lose patience, but this kid apparently had anger management issues and the adults should have recognized that, a very tragic story, and honestly if it were me, I would leave the kid in jail a bit longer and then have community service for a couple of years - keep him so busy and remind him of what he did so that he will never want to do it again.
Honestly..the legal system could use some work! I believe in karma, and I fully believe that there are several victims here..but they are all children in THIS case...I cannot feel sorry for the parents..life is about choices..hopefully in the future they will take better care of their children.
First of all, an infant/toddlers skull is not as hard as yours, while it would take a substantial blow to kill you, it wouldn't take much to harm a child so young. So yes, essentially what he did was no different than any other sibling. You are blessed to have escaped childhood without the scorn of siblings, however, many children are at the mercy of their older siblings. Some days they all get along well, other days- not so much. My father and his siblings were hiking one day when one of them went up ahead around a bend. When the others got to the same place they couldn't understand how he had gotten all the way down the ridge and was tricking them by laying down at the base, so they threw rocks at him, but noticed he didn't move when the rocks hit. They eventually figured out he had fallen and quit throwing rocks. He was okay, but the point is, siblings do stupid things. My husband was shot by his older brother, he was 7 and his brother was nine. Both old enough to know not to touch a weapon, yet stupid enough at that age to do it. His knee was blown away, his little sister who was six had to run a mile or so to the nearest neighbor to get help. He crawled out to the porch before the blood loss was too great, his older brother doing what he can to stop the bleeding, all the while going over the story they were going to tell so they would all not get in trouble. Parents were off somewhere, and arrived later. No one was charged. Brother didn't go to juvy, parents didn't get arrested for neglect, only my husband suffered, for years actually in ways you cant even imagine. Siblings do hurt each other. The point is was there intent to kill the child? I don't believe there was. Yes, he needs to be held responsible, but the adults have some 'splanin to do.
i never said my siblings never hurt me, they did, i am one of the youngest, they would spank me, but NEVER hit me on the head, a 13 year old should know that the head is a delicate place to hit someone, especially a baby!
I have agreed all along that the parents do have large liability in what happened.

Restaurateur Rohini Dey, owner of Vermilion, shares her holiday traditions.
The scene illuminates a soothing glow. Night falls and houses flicker colorful candle hues lining each windowsill. Inside her home, a young Rohini Dey relaxes with a full stomach and happy heart as the cooling remnants of green cardamom waft through the air. Only a day ago, New Delhi streets were bustling as people began preparing for one of the biggest Indian holiday celebrations of the year — Diwali.
The past 20 years have painted a slightly different picture for Ms. Dey, who now lives in Chicago. But she continues to keep her family's annual Diwali traditions alive in her home and restaurant. "Diawli is all about getting together and celebrating being thankful. It reminds me a lot of Thanksgiving, because I associate it with crisp air and it usually falls around November, depending on the lunar calendar," Ms. Dey says of Diwali, which is also known as the Indian Festival of the Lights.
She recalls her earliest memories of this holiday involving new clothes, delicious food and firecrackers. "As a kid, I remember running around reckless and unsupervised while lighting little rocket bombs in our hands," shares Ms. Dey with a comforting expression of gratitude in her voice while reflecting on Diwali. "Every street was decorated with beautiful lights. Little oil votives were seen in every house, and the streets became absolutely gorgeous at nightfall," she says.
"I associate Diwali with a lot of sweets. One thing my mom made was relatively simple and one of a few things I still make for my daughters," reveals Ms. Dey. "It's an Indian rice pudding that's very rich, like a Dulce de Leche. It's heavy, sweet, warm and comforting," She then slips into fond memories of enjoying this delectable confection after a long day of cooking: "It's nice to get into bed with a bowl of that when you're exhausted and done."
Ms. Dey keeps Thanksgiving in close line to her Diwali traditions. Each recipe is quite different than those normally be served at a Thanksgiving dinner. "I'm constantly trying different things because serving the same dishes each year gets monotonous," says the restaurateur, who first opened Vermilion for Thanksgiving in 2004. "I really thought I should be giving everyone a day off, and I didn't want to stay open on a holiday, but then I thought, 'let's give it a shot and see what happens.' Interestingly, that year Bon Appetit featured us as the most innovative Thanksgiving in the country."
The Vermilion Thanksgiving dinner caught on and has been recognized in highly esteemed media outlets across the country. "We do very innovative takes on a traditional Thanksgiving meal. So even if it's turkey, it will have a black cardamom glaze with a cumin lentil stuffing," she says, pleased. Typically dinner at Vermilion is served all week and is guaranteed to spark your taste buds with new holiday flavors from Ms. Dey's travels across the globe.
Aside from sharing her holiday traditions with Vermilion guests, Ms. Dey also enjoys the festivities of Diwali with her extended family, either in her own home or at her sister-in-law's in Atlanta. Whether here or there, Ms. Dey will light a votive and give thanks for the joys of life. And she'll most likely be found nestled close to a bowl of rice pudding at the end of the day.

What to Expect at Vermilion: An Indian-Latin Thanksgiving

First course: cranberry spinach salad, naan bites, paneer, apple cider dressing
Second course: warm Columbian yucca cake, tamarind chutney
Third course: pumpkin acorn squash curry leaf soup

a few almonds finely sliced (optional)

2. Add rice and let it cook and thicken further.

xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,742I'd have a look at the knock sensor. My '96 ran terrible when it was cold for a couple of weeks, but fine (mostly) when it was warm. I did have a CEL, but it was for something seemingly unrelated, along with a code indicating an intermittent problem with the camshaft sensor. I replaced that sensor, the knock sensor, and the crankshaft sensor simultaneously, and it ran like a top after that. As a bonus, a nagging no-start-after-warm issue I had suffered with for years was suddenly solved as well!
I probably didn't need to replace the crankshaft sensor, but all's well that ends well. :P
When the car is cold, it runs the idle off a map rather than adjusting fuel/air ratio based on oxygen sensor feedback, etc. So, I doubt it is your oxygen sensors. Rather, in order to maintain idle, it advances/retards timing based on knock sensor feedback.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -

I have chanched the map sensor ...
A tip was to reset the throttlebody during to disconect the + and - cable from the battery and put them together for about 15 min .
I tried to do that 2 days ago and so far so good , no problems left .
