Natural Resource Damages Restoration Projects
After an NRD case is settled, a restoration plan is written to describe the specific restoration actions. These restoration plans are made available for review and comment by the public.
Draft Restoration Plans
Draft Restoration Plans are open for public comment. Additional information can be located in the Environmental Notice Bulletin.
- Consolidated Edison Company of NY Dunwoodie Substation draft Restoration Plan (PDF) (2.23 MB) The plan describes restoration projects for the Bronx River in Westchester County to compensate for Natural Resources Damages incurred during the 2009 spill of dielectric fluid from the Consolidated Energy Dunwoodie substation. NYSDEC is accepting public comments on this plan from 9/10/2014 to 10/10/2014. Please contact Jennifer Dawson via email.
Completed Restoration Plans
After a restoration plan is finalized, implementation can begin. The following are final restoration plans:
- Marks Farm Natural Resource Damages Restoration Plan (PDF) (432 KB) In 2005, a manure spill in the Town of Lowville, Lewis County from the Marks Dairy Farm into the Black River resulted in a loss of oxygen in the stream and a significant fish kill. Marks Farm entered into a settlement agreement with the NYSDEC that required them to pay $390,963.00 for natural resource damages resulting from the release. NYSDEC will use these funds to implement restoration projects that will enhance public access to the Black River fishery. The draft restoration plan discussing the proposed restoration projects was available for public review and comment from September 29 to October 29, 2014. No comments were recieved and this Restoration and Spending Plan has now been finalized. Appendix A - Consent Order (PDF) (973 KB). Appendix B - Project Costs (PDF) (2.21 MB).
- BASF Restoration Plan(PDF) (4.75 MB) This plan describes restoration projects for the BASF site in and around the Hudson River in Rensselaer County.
- Sportfishing Restoration for the Lake Ontario System In June 2006, an NRD settlement of $12 million was reached between New York State and Occidental Chemical Corporation which compensated for the loss of recreational fishing opportunities in Lake Ontario over a 30 year period due to the release of harmful chemicals in the environment. The settlement was used to fund a restoration plan that will implement specific projects to restore and enhance recreational fishing and the fishery itself. After receiving restoration proposals from the public and considering public comment, DEC selected 42 distinct restoration projects: 25 to improve access, 14 to enhance habitat and resources, and 3 to promote fishing in the region. Restoration projects are being implemented in seven counties in northern and western New York. For more information, see the Lake Ontario Sportfishing Restoration Plan page.

Pets May Help Kids With Autism
Date Published:
August 1,2012
Researchers in France found that children with autism who became pet owners after the age of 5 performed better than children without pets on two key measures of social functioning -- offering comfort and offering to share. Having a pet from birth did not appear to influence the socialization behaviors, leading the researchers to conclude that the arrival of a pet when a child is old enough to recognize the addition may be critical.

His smile was abruptly neutralized. His eyebrows suddenly stopped jumping above his eyes. He leaned in, expressionless, and listened to the words as they shot out of the reporter's mouth as fast as he could run the 40-yard dash … How much do teams ask you about your blocking skills?
He thought about what to say, and then as his eyebrows furrowed, pointing straight at the bridge of his nose, he fired back: "They ask a lot. You know, every team wants a complete tight end, an all-purpose tight end. Not just one that can run down the seam and catch passes. They want a guy that can block too. I tell them I have been working hard on it, which I have, and that I'm not bad at it, which everyone thinks."
It was late February at the NFL Scouting Combine, and Eric Ebron — tight end No. 6 — was at the podium, answering questions about his blocking skills. It's a skill questioned by many, and Ebron wanted to clear the air. He wasn't bad at it; he was still learning how to be good at it. There's a difference, depending on who you ask.
Depending on who you ask, it didn't matter whether he was a good or bad blocker. As long as he could run the seam and catch passes, he was fine. Teams told him they valued blocking skills, but many have H-Backs that spend an inordinate time in the slot, where they're not doing much blocking unless a screen is thrown or an outside run is called. And when they're called on to get in-line, they're hardly setting the edge against 290-pound ends.
For teams that have complete tight ends, they've learned that it takes their offense up a notch, giving it a versatility visible the second the tight end steps on the field. It changes how the defense reads and reacts to the offense. It makes them think a second longer about a possible running play. That second could mean a slow reaction or an extra box defender or base defense, giving the offense a clear numbers advantage. That's why it's vital to seek out a complete tight end or one that has the potential to be complete, like Ebron.
The North Carolina tight end is viewed as an H-back like everyone else nowadays. He spent time in the slot, doing damage to defenses underneath and in the middle of the field. He ran all kind of routes and made all kind of catches, which is great. But he has the talent to separate himself from the other one-dimensional tight ends who are coming into the league or are already there. He just hasn't put it all together yet.
Sometimes his pads are too high up, making it hard for him to drive blockers back. When he does try, he doesn't always use choppy steps and power through with his lower body. He doesn't always extend his arms or balance his weight, occasionally falling forward like a penguin on ice. He doesn't always sustain blocks either, sliding off them. Here's an example.
He's in-line to the left on third-and-1. Outside, to his left, is a Miami Hurricanes linebacker standing at a 45-degree angle, expected to set the edge on an obvious running down. When the play begins, the Tar Heels call a downhill run away from Ebron, but he still needs to hold up at the point of attack. He needs to ensure the back-side linebacker doesn't make a play down the line.
He engages. At first glance, his pads are low, his knees are bent, and his weight is forward. His hands, however, are very low. They're at the linebacker's abdomen, making it hard for Ebron to sustain the block should the linebacker attempt to run around the edge.
As the play goes on, his weight starts coming too far forward. He's well over his heels, and he can no longer balance his chiseled 250-pound frame. The linebacker sees this and moves outside like he's going to run around the corner, pushing Ebron down at the same time and focusing on the ball-carrier. Ebron falls hands first (2:32).
Sometimes he sets the edge like a blocking tight end does, not like a pseudo tight end blocking. He widens his feet and bends his knees, creating a firm base in the lower half that makes it hard for defenders to latch off his block. He drives defenders back with pure power. He keeps his feet moving on an outside block, directing the ball-carrier where to go by the direction his shoulder pads are facing. Here's another example.
He's flexed on third-and-5. Three yards off the line, he's expected to make a block in space on the Pittsburgh Panthers' linebacker that's standing to his left. This is commonly a difficult job for college tight ends because it requires concentration, patience, technique, and activity. On this play, Ebron has it all.
He takes one step outside and locks his elbows out, making first contact with the linebacker. His pad level is high at first, but it gets lower when he bends his knees. He moves his feet and looks to get to the defender's outside shoulder, hoping to seal him inside and give the running back a clear lane outside. He turns his hips to his left and uses his left arm to hold the defender back, allowing him to get to the outside shoulder and turn his back to the sideline. He's done it. He's sealed an alley for the ball-carrier, but the ball-carrier was tackled by a quick-hitting safety, which isn't his fault. (4:32)
Going into May's draft, there's a strong chance Ebron's going to be a first-round selection, if not top 15. He has the talent to live up to that billing. He's physical, he's strong, he's athletic, and he's fast. He has potential to not only be a good pass catcher, but a good blocker too.
In a league that's suddenly placed a high value on one-dimensional tight ends, Ebron can stand out like he did at the podium in February.

lol. Everything in this chapter makes sense... until you see Nodoka jump up right NEXT to Fate... then I lol'd.
Though I wonder why two people are against Asuna. Guessing it's cause their powers can get canceled but still simultaneously be a pain in the ass to get around (like... stare = explosion is a bitch, no?).
Woah! It's already out!? (Well, earlier than "usual") >_>
Gonna read it now ^^
I'm more than satisfied by the chapter. Something that hasn't happened in quite a while
Lot's of action going on! Kotaro seems to be like EVERYWHERE! He's such a speed demon XD
Btw, it's out on OneManga, although I guess anyone would check there first.
Man what a great chapter.....its good to see finally in action some other characters.....but...it seems that negi can't stay in his dark mode for a long period of time...or maybe he needs to become a little more "evil" to stay in that mode.
Its very interesting what negi said about fates barrier....been not possible to be created by a human....is this the evidence that fate isn't human after all?
Damn i cant wait to read the next chapter!!!! >_<
holy crap, time for nodoka to take revenge on Fate for turning her into stone from the kyoto arc. awesome chapter. i'm kinda not too keen on the skirt-flipping stuff though, it's been over-used in the last two chapters. it's not that i don't like fan-service, but as a way to win ? that's kinda meh.
wonder what's gonna happen when yue shows up and tries to restore peace ? i don't think the knights are even near the level of negi's team right now
Love for a serious nodoka! Why have all the chaps been so awesome lately?
probably because the series is reaching its climax ^^ although I'm disapointed that Negi's losing badly to Fate again... I think it'll make him feel that he didn't achieve anything at all.
Nodoka is screwed. If I were Fate, I'd tear her head off right on the spot for what she just did.
My thoughts exactly. Kind of makes me remeber the first season of Dragonball that I didn't really like.
I wonder which girl is going to cheer him up ^_^?
chiisame! ^_____^
Would this be another time that Ken Akamatsu played around with the boundary?
Tsukuyomi is just... ugh >_>


text: I have the Kuat but don't recommend it. I can't get it to stay tight in the hitch, even after adding a clamp, and that stupid bolt on the bottom of the rack fell out, even though I checked and tightened it every five minutes. I would look into the Thule (T2?).

Study Points To Potential Strategy For Erasing Memory Of AddictionMedical News TodayJune 27, 2013
A new study by researchers at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center at UC San Francisco offers encouraging findings that researchers hope may one day lead to a treatment option for people who suffer from alcohol abuse disorders and other addictions. In the study, conducted in rats, the UCSF researchers were able to identify and deactivate a brain pathway linked to the memories that cause cravings for alcohol, thus preventing the animals from seeking alcohol and drinking it, the equivalent of relapse.

I can't make it come out rite, it has this horrible smell everytime I don't know what I'm doing wrong.... I quiet...
If there's a really bad smell, there's probably some infection going on. Don't give up, just sanitize everything that touches the root beer and give it another try. If you've been using the same yeast each time, I would get some fresh yeast and see if that goes better. You're most likely just a few steps away from great root beer.
What did you use for water? Some tap water has stuff in there that won't be very good for making soda.
Yes it was tap, I'll try again, thanks
Why don't you tell us what your procedures are, possibly in a fair amount of detail, so we can give advice. Your prior posts/threads haven't really given us much to work with and what you've done, so for all we know, you could be doing anything and everything. The fact that it smells means either some sort of fungus, or a lot of sulfur. What flavoring/syrup, what yeast (if any), what and how much water to syrup, how much sugar, what kind of sugar, which kinds of bottles, where the bottles have been, etc.
we used a 16 o z. bottle, that was a fresh bottle of drinking water. 1. 1/4 cup of sugar 2. One eight of a tsp of Fleischmanns Yeast 3. shake it 4. add water half way 5.add a 1/4 tbsp of McCormick Root Beer Concentrate 6. shake it until dissolved Fill bottle with bottled water. 7.put cap on
[QUOTE="Stelmica"]we used a 16 o z. bottle, that was a fresh bottle of drinking water. 1. 1/4 cup of sugar 2. One eight of a tsp of Fleischmanns Yeast 3. shake it 4. add water half way 5.add a 1/4 tbsp of McCormick Root Beer Concentrate 6. shake it until dissolved Fill bottle with bottled water. 7.put cap on. I made this test bottle and it still came out bad, what am I doing wrong?? Bad sulfur smell..
Okay, so you're using baking yeast. That's supposed to work, but it will have a funky flavor, and it's more likely to be bad than fresh brewer's yeast. I recommend finding some wine yeast, champagne yeast is the standard. Have you used the Fleischmanns yeast each time? Was it kept cold at the store, and do you keep it in a refrigerator? It would be insane to do it exactly the same way again and expect different results, but it will work if all the factors are right. So, keep changing stuff until it works. Definitely try real yeast first. There may well be a problem with the baking yeast, and even if you do get that to work, it will taste yeasty in a way that I really don't like.
Thanks for the tip I'll try again. I'll try some new yeast this weekend I need to make a trip to the wine store anyway. And yes I used the yeast from the store each time, they just keep it on the shelf. Not cold. Hopefully that's the problem, thanks again..
I've got the same sulfur smell in my root beer. I also used Flieshmans yeast from the grocery store. Only I made 4 gallons of it! Does anyone know if this will go away with aging? I used bottled spring water, clean and sanitized beer bottles (sanitized with an iodine type sanitizer) regular white granulated sugar from the store. The extract was an old bottle of rainbows "homebrew" stuff. Probably 6-8 years old. Thanks in advance: Bob

I would vote for remove and replace with white. It's not like they are right up against the counter edge where you might worry about water seepage. |
I'd probably just pop them out and replace with white, too. |

Can you get any white designs on a clear background to sick on? Kind of like the cherries, but for the blue tiles. Looks like a nice shade of blue. |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 18:09
My vote is to remove, but if you are resigned to removing, why not give painting a try first. It's cheap and it's easy. If it works out okay, you can postpone other steps for a while, or forever. And, you could leave the slivers under the sink as paint forever since, they are very unnoticeable. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 18:26
Before I went through removing and dealing with trying to match the grout I would try the Delft. If it doesn't work it doesn't break the bank or your labor. |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Sun, Nov 11, 12 at 1:17
change the blue flowered curtain to natural shade/blinds-[the color of the wood trim around counter or floor] and the effect of the blue tile practically disappears....or its impact is greatly lessened. I like the tile,in a way....the curtain would be the "fix"-way easier and probably an overall upgrade because blinds/shades are a feature. |

The Last Page of the Internet
Part of a series on Single-Serving Site. [View Related Entries]
The Last Page of the Internet refers to various websites purported as the final page of the Internet. Similar to many other single serving sites, such websites often carry minimalist design, accompanied by almost no graphics and instructional displays like "Now turn off your computer" and "Go outside."
In similar vein to You Win the Internet! and The Final Boss of the Internet , The Last Page of the Internet can be seen as an absurdist parody of our own understanding that online experiences never quite "end" at any certain point.
Various personal accounts and Google search results reveal that jokes about "the last page of the Internet" have been around since the late 90s, hosted on various personal / business / academic websites, discussion boards and e-mail. Tracing it through Google search shows that this phenomenon was firmly established by early 1998, making a 1997 origin plausible, although it is not certain.
Early Instances
- Google search of all results concerning "The Last Page of the Internet" up to December 31st, 1999 reveal four entries, dated December 19th, 1998, January 1st, 1998, September 22nd, 1999, and May 12th, 1998 in order of appearance.
- The first webpage from December 19th, 1998, is a personal political site, containing a link to "http://www.internetlastpage.com/".
- The second, dated January 1st, 1998, is the oldest. It's another personal political site and the root of the site is still updated as a blog. It links to "http://www.wackycreations.com/lastpage.html", which is now defunct. Unfortunately, the site cannot be viewed with The Wayback Machine because the owner has blocked crawlers. A Google search for the site reveals that the same link has been making rounds on the Internet at least since 2000 up until 2004.
- The third, dated September 22nd, 1999 is the most recent, and belongs to the British Broadcasting Corporation. This page is clearly amateurish, and is called a "Personal Space" as part of the British Broadcasting Corporation's online encyclopedia The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The link to the meme cannot be found.
- The fourth, dated May 12th, 1998, is German. It died with its host, Yahoo! Geocities. The cache reveals that the webpage belonged to a radio enthusiast. "The Last Page of the Internet" linked to a now defunct webpage at "http://de.geocities.com/dl6mda/lastpage.html" which can be viewed with the Wayback Machine .
Search for the Origin
By the early 2000s, many early versions of this meme ceased to exist, but "The Last Page of the Internet" continued getting picked up and re-registered in other domain names.
On April 9th, 2001, Dennis G. Jerz[1] of Seton Hill University posted a research article titled Last Page of the Internet with (now-defunct) links to several example pages dating back to early 2000. This post was "featured in a the "Operator No. 9" column of Interactive Week Magazine, June 4, 2001 (Vol.8 No.22 )", according to the author.
However, in his post, Dennis G. Jerz notes that T. R. Halvorson[2], author, lawyer, programmer, and president of Pastel Programming Corporation, had taken notice of this phenomenon earlier on a forum called Law-Lib on February 16th, 2000. Dennis G. Jerz provides a link to the Law-Lib archive [3]. The Law-Lib archive contains discussions going back to as early as January 1992.
The February 2000 threads contains this discussion called 'the last page of the internet ;)' between T. R. Halvorson and Rita Bronnenkant and this reply called 'RE:the last page of the internet ;)' by Sean Smith.
In a reply to the discussion called 'RE:the last page of the internet ;)', Sean Smith, of Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd., a law firm that deals with intellectual property, says that he first received a link to a webpage concerning the meme on October 7th, 1998. The link is "http://www.opaldata.net/the_end/index.html", which is now defunct. However, www.OpalData.net is still active as a provider of technology to Rhode Island municipalities, and has been at least since 2004, according to the Wayback Machine.
In 'the last page of the internet ;)' discussion on February 16th, 2000, T. R. Halvorson shows Rita Bronnenkant several links to variations of this meme, of which, all but one are now defunct, asking her which is the original source as part of his "never-ending quest for the authenticity of documents and information found on the Internet". With her legal expertise, Rita Bronnenkant replies that several of these sites hold a copyright from Darrin Maule[4], though it cannot be said whether he is the creator of this meme.
"www.wwwdotcom.com" is a popular host of this meme. As of July 4th, 2010, a Google search for the query "The Last Page of the Internet" returns "www.wwwdotcom.com" as the second item . The name of the website is a pun on the "www" and ".com" portions of the URL.
According to Alexa, "www.wwwdotcom.com" has been online since August 29th, 1995. The search engine preview on DomainTools shows that at some point in time, there was text on the website which said:
You have reached the very last page of the Internet.
We hope you have enjoyed your browsing.
Now turn off your computer and go outside.
The Wayback Machine archives the site to August 11th, 1997. It initially appeared as an e-commerce site called Rendezvous. By May 2nd, 2000, it changed to another e-commerce site called Hutchins & Associates. The name likely refers to the registrant, Arthur Hutchins. By December 13th, 2000, the website simply redirected to "www.Hutchins.com", which is currently blank. The Wayback Machine shows that "www.Hutchins.com" had been in service since June 24th, 1997 as a website for Hutchins and Associates. By September 28th, 2002, "www.wwwdotcom.com" took on the appearance that it currently has.
Though now defunct, Dennis G. Jerz noted that on April 9, 2001, the "http://home.att.net/" host ranked second on Google Search results for the query "The Last Page of the Internet". "http://att.net/" belongs to at&t and Yahoo! as a web services and news aggregation site, after being converted from a web portal in 2008. At one point during its history, a "Personal Web Page" service similar to Geocities was offered.
Neither Alexa or DomainTools has any useful information about this site.
http://home.att.net/~cecw/lastpage.htm was established at least by Feb 29, 2000 and lasted until February 26th, 2008. The webpage had a white background, displaying the following text:
Attention, please
You have reached the very last page of the Internet.
We hope you have enjoyed your browsing.
Enjoy the rest of your life.
Bombscare and IRC Chat
A popular quotation from Internet Relay Chat, archived by Bash.org, is somewhat similar to this meme. Around 2002, a user named "Bombscare" had said this,
BombScare: i beat the internet
BombScare: the end guy is hard
These remarks also bear a resemblance to "The Final Boss of the Internet" meme.
References in Google Reader
Google Reader features this meme. If one clicks "Next" until no items are present, Google Reader displays this message,
Congratulations, you've reached the end of this internet. Look for another?
"Look for another" links to the Wikipedia article for 'Interplanetary Internet'.
An earlier version of Google Reader displayed this text instead,
Congratulations, you have reached the End of the Internet.
"End of the Internet" linked to a now defunct site. The website's abandonment may have served as a reason for changing the text. The defunct link mentioned on the left once displayed this message on the right.
Other variations of this meme include "The Second to Last Page of the Internet", "The First Page of the Internet", and 404 error parodies. However, most variations are merely aesthetic.
Current Status
Unlike other internet memes rooted in Web 1.0, the minimalism of the "The Last Page of the Internet" has proven itself a constant, universal appeal from its initial founding to the newest generation of single-serving sites. "The Last Page of the Internet" also bears a resemblance to newer memes that parody the concept of the Internet, such as You Win The Internet!, Internets, "Final Boss of the Internet", and Series of Tubes.
"The Last Page of the Internet" still enjoys popularity from reblogs on social networking sites like Reddit and sarcastic replies from commentators in forums, resulting in sporadic bursts of interest. Production of this meme has ceased in the early 2000s, though some existing websites dedicated to this meme have been maintained for over a decade.

What's for lunch? New guidelines mean your child's school may have changes on their cafeteria menu
MAINEVILLE, Ohio - When kids start school in the next few weeks, some will find their food options have changed since school let out.
Many schools in Greater Cincinnati have modified meal offerings to meet new guidelines set by the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
"My goal is to serve the healthiest possible foods that students will accept," said Rachel Tilford, food service director for Little Miami Local School District.
What is changing?
As of July 2012, most schools were required to comply with standards that included increased availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free and low-fat milk. Other changes included the reduction of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat in foods offered. Meals also are required to meet calorie restrictions, based on age or grade groups.
Many changes were expected to be enforced immediately, but some areas were afforded incremental modification.
While schools are required to offer whole grains, only half the grains were required to be whole-grain rich when the rule first went into effect. Within two years of implementation, all grains were required to be whole-grain rich. The reduction of sodium is also a gradual change. The decrease is required to take place over a 10-year period, with intermediate sodium targets at two and four years after implementation.
Coneys are out. Fries a no longer fried.
Although the new standards were first implemented during the 2012-2013 school year, Tilford spent much of her summer preparing for the whole-grain and sodium targets for the 2014-2015 school year.
To meet the standards, she eliminated a cheese coney from the menu and replaced it with a smaller, lower-sodium hot dog. French fries also got an upgrade. District cafeterias have not had fryers for years and have served baked fries that are low in sodium. However, the seasoning used on the fries added sodium. The fries will now be served plain, and students will have the option to add garlic, ranch or original spicy flavoring themselves from a sodium-free seasoning station.
"Hopefully, they'll enjoy their fries even more because they get to choose how they're seasoning them," Tilford said.
The seasonings are primarily intended for fries, but students will be able to use them on other foods as well.
Whole grain offerings also have been modified for the new school year. When Tilford began working in the district in 2013, about 75 percent of the grains available to students were whole grains. Now, all grain offerings are whole grain.
The challenges of change
The switch to 100 percent whole-grain has been met with student resistance. Biscuits, tortillas and pastas-- particularly macaroni and cheese made with whole-wheat pasta--are especially prone to scrutiny.
"Kids eat what they enjoy. If they don't like it, they won't eat it," Tilford said.
When students skip lunch, or part of lunch, they go back to class hungry, which can distract them from learning the lessons they need to.
"Our concern is preparing kids to learn and nutrition is a big part of that," said Superintendent Greg Power.
Reducing sodium can also be difficult. The 2014-2015 school year marks the first of three sodium reduction targets. The district meets the requirements, but the anticipated reduction of sodium levels in the 2017-2018 school year will be "very challenging," and the menu will look much different.
Changes to snack rules may pose challenges, too. Smart Snacks in School standards apply to all foods sold in school that are outside the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs.
Under the standards all snacks must:
- be 200 calories or less
- contain less than 35 percent calories from fat
- contain ess than 10 percent calories from saturated fat
- have less than 35 percent sugar by weight
- have 230 milligrams of sodium or less.
Portion sizes may have to be reduced to meet calorie restrictions, Tilford said.
"The new guidelines are very new … I think it's going to be a learning experience for kids as well as parents," Power said.
Keeping students excited
Despite the difficulties, Tilford is continually looking for ways to keep students excited about food options.
"It's very important for us to serve healthy meals, but if the kids won't accept it, it's not nutritious," she said.
One way she hopes to do this is through offering more vegetable toppings and pairings for students. Although pickle relish may not be offered, students can add cucumber relish to hot dogs. Lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and spinach will be available for sandwiches.
Little Miami Intermediate School students have the opportunity to take part in growing a vegetable garden, which yields produce that is served in their cafeteria.
"It does get them a lot more excited to eat vegetables," Tilford said.
Student and adult volunteers teamed up to plant sweet potatoes, red potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes and other vegetables during the last week of the 2013-2014 school year.
Many of the vegetables will be served on the school salad bar with a sign posted to inform students of the featured items. Those not served on the salad bar will be used in soups during the fall.
Students will work with volunteers to plant more vegetables in the fall during their Extra Time/Extra Help period, which is set aside for enrichment and intervention.
"It's a nice project," said Dawn Gasper, who manages the garden and is a guidance counselor at Little Miami Intermediate School.
Although it is challenging scheduling students for weeding and watering over the summer, they enjoy participating during the school year.
"During the school year, the kids like to come out and weed and pick. It's nice for them to understand where their food comes from," Gasper said.
Offering a variety of options
Although some students who have been in the district for years may be reminiscent for days of fewer restrictions, new students and parents seem open to trying the school's offerings.
"They're very impressed by the variety of choices offered," Gasper said.
Although there have been changes, food service staff do their best to keep the options tasty and nutritious. Because the staff members like to cook from scratch, they can control what goes into food, reducing sodium and fat while enhancing flavor with herbs and spices.
"It's important to us to present meals (kids will) take and enjoy," Tilford said.

With the Huracán, Lamborghini Finally Learns to Refine Itself
- Friday August 29, 2014
Driving the Huracán reveals a Gallardo replacement packed with considerably more refinements and a fierce side that still attacks when provoked.
Driving the Huracán reveals a Gallardo replacement packed with considerably more refinements and a fierce side that still attacks when provoked.
The Aventador Roadster embodies the ultimate automotive dream. It's wildly exotic, insanely fast, and highly exclusive. It's far from perfect, but then, it doesn't have to be. It's a Lamborghini.
You don't see a brand-new model from Lamborghini very often. The folks in Sant'Agata work, well, slowly and roll out new cars about once a decade. That makes today special. Well, sort of.
It's 1991. You're a Japanese tuner trying to make a name for yourself. You've booked a stand at the Geneva Motor Show and you want to create something that will blow minds. What do you do? If you're Ryoji Yamazaki, you rip apart, deface, rebuild, and rebody the supercar of the past decade. And then slather it in baby-puke green paint.
Prepare to have your afternoon wasted. Lamborghini has opened up its Sant'Agata museum to the all-seeing eyes of Google Street View, and not only can you see 50 years of Lambo hotness, you can actually get inside some of the marque's most legendary machines.
For decades, Ferruccio Lamborghini's Riva Aquarama sat in the corner of a boat yard, stashed underneath a tarp, rotting into oblivion. Forty-five years after it was commissioned by old man Lambo himself, it's back on the water, complete with not one, but two classic Lamborghini V12s.
The crew from Sant'Agata has lost its collective mind. There's no other explanation for the Lamborghini Egoista concept.
The first Lamborghini was not a low-slung, overpowered sports car that looked like sex on wheels. It was a tractor, and a damn fine one at that.
Ask a 13-year-old to design their dream car and the Lamborghini Veneno is what you'd get. It's a 750 horsepower, carbon fiber assault on the senses, and even if you could afford the $3.9 million price tag, Lamborghini is only making three examples and they've all been sold. Apologies to Mr. Zuckerberg and the Koch brothers.
Save for a few special editions, it's been more than ten years since Lamborghini offered rear-wheel drive in one of its sports cars. But we're sure glad the LP550-2 Gallardo Spyder got made.

Summary: If the twenty-first century seems an unlikely stage for the return of a 14th-century killer, the authors of Return of the Black Death argue that the plague, which vanquished half of Europe, has only lain dormant, waiting to emerge again-perhaps, in another form. At the heart of their chilling scenario is their contention that the plague was spread by direct human contact (not from rat fleas) and was, in fact, a virus perhaps similar to AIDS and Ebola. Noting the peri ...show moreodic occurrence of plagues throughout history, the authors predict its inevitable re-emergence sometime in the future, transformed by mass mobility and bioterrorism into an even more devastating killer. ...show less

This product has been discontinued
My skin: Quite fair, Asian with yellow undertones, clog prone, sensitive.
The Product
Shade Range: Very limited. The lightest shade is too light for me and the second one up was too dark so I bought both and now dab my brush in both to get the perfect color.
Coverage: I get varying degrees of coverage with this powder depending on the brush I use but even with a dense small brush I don't get more than medium coverage. I use just this when my skin is good but when i'm breaking out I must use a foundation or TM under it whereas with My MAC Studiofix I can achieve almost full coverage.
Photogenicness: Despite having spf in the powder I have worn this out at night and taken many pictures with it and it looks decent in photos.
Overall I really do like this powder. It gives smooth, even coverage. Does not look cakey, doesn not break me out (Ieverything breaks me out) and the compact is sleek and sturdy. However, the only downside is that even with primer it doesn not have good staying power and I have relatively dry skin. I must reapply every four hours and it is very inconvenient with my 12 hour days. I like it a lot and will stick to it for now until I find something better.

This stuff didn't do anything for me. It's not completely offensive, but it just doesn't have any coverage. I tried it as a foundation first, then I used it over a sheer foundation hoping it would add a little extra coverage and set my foundation. Fail on both. It wasn't irritating or the worst I've ever tried but it's pretty useless.
I never thought that I would be able to use powder foundation on my dry-ish skin, but this LM product works for me. It provides a very clear, polished look, and does not cake or settle into fine lines. I cannot really explain why, but this foundation makes my skin look natural yet polished at the same time. The color No 2 is perfect for my NC 20-25 skin. It lasts literally all day without touch up. It is slightly matt/drying just after application, but after a few hours looks and feels good. A potential HG!

This foundation is one of my favorites, i can understand why some people might NOT like it .
If you don't blend it well, the foundation will look odd. Also, my skin is normal, but my nose is oily. Therefore. I don't need foundation because i dont have blemishes and therefore i use powder foundation. IF YOU ARE OILY, STAY AWAY. It won't hold your oil. I have to reapply every 4 hours. Its my daily powder foundation for now, however, i'm pretty sure there is better powder foundation but i'm too afraid to break out and its quite of a hassle to look for your hg foundation. But this will do for now.
This powder is totally an HG for me. I discovered this last April after a Mac powder broke me out. My mother had bought this powder for herself, but gave it to me to see if it would help with my skin issues. There are just not enough good adjectives to describe how great this product is. For a powder foundation, the coverage is amazing and it has a really good staying powder on my combo skin. When my skin gets oily, rather than making me look shiny, this product makes my skin look like its glowing. This powder feels comfortable on my face and doesn't make me look chalky or too powdered. I use it dry and buff it into my face over concealer with a fairly dense kabuki brush (aka Mac 182). Various friends and family members of mine have more than once commented on how flawless my face looks whenever I wear this product. Another great plus is that this powder lasted me through an entire 6 months of everyday use!! I am now on my second compact, and will continue to buy it if it continues to be this amazing :)

I am using this with Makeup Forever HD finishing powder and Smashbox Photo lite primer. I love the coverage and how it makes my skin feel. I have oily acne-prone skin. My biggest problem is with clogged pores and this product doesn't seem to be doing that which is good. The only downside is that I have not had it for a month and I am already seeing the silver bottom of the compact. I use a foundation brush to ensure I don't use too much product so I can't help but think there has to be a better bargain out there.
I just bought this at Sephora today, and the Sephora rep color matched me with shade no. 3. I have oily skin, and I really hope this product works well with my UD De-Slick and bareMinerals primer. I hate blotting throughout the day, so this could be very beneficial to me. I'm sure this will be my new summer HG as many others have said. it looks natural, has light to full coverage, and is good for sensitive skin. I will do a follow up review in a couple of weeks to see if my opinion has changed for the better or for worse. :) do I recommend this product? heck yes, if you have $40 to spend comfortably.
I would buy it again..there is just one problem.. 40 BUCKS?! im srry but that is a little ridiculous even though it is a great..long staying powder foundation.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My search is over. This is HG for me. I have worn MAC, Chanel, EL, you name it, I've tried it. This gives me the most amazing flawless look. I layer it over my foundation and the finish is amazing!!! I will repurchase over and over.
i ADORE THIS FOUNDATION! It's my new HOLY GRAIL! wow I Have to say It's my new baby this summer! *YES USUALLY POWDER FOUNDATIONS ARE FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T NEED AS MUCH COVERAGE!* Let me start of by saying that I have combination skin. I get a more oily in the summer (of course what combo skin dosen't) Im a NC25-30 sometimes I can use NW20, and I was matched with No.3 matches pretty good. I Have meduim size pores on my nose and side of my nose, besides that I have a littl bit of redness on my cheek area and some hyperpigmentation. Nothing too serious or hard to cover. Overall I have pretty good skin. So for the summer I was looking for a good coverage, natural looking, long lasting powder foundation. I came across this at Nordstrom and the beauty advisor matched me with No.3 it looked pretty good. I told her i was going to wear it and try it out for the day. I went to work afterwards, sweated, and what not. By the end of my work shift 7 hours the foundation was still soo nicely put, even though I was sweaty, i wasn't a nasty oil slick like what I expirience with other foundations. I just looked nice and dewy.
I was very impressed so I ran out and bought it. It retails for $40 USD a little too expensive I have to admit especially for the amount of product you get which is 7.4 grams. before this I was using C3 in MAC studio fix powder+foundation, MAC Studio FP retails for $29.50 for 15 grams. Big difference in price and quantity I know, But I'm willing to pay the price to not get oily, have decent coverage and look natural! I think its a buildable coverage foundation. Use a brush for a more sheer-light coverage, or a sponge or included puff for meduim-full. My usuall routine is after I have moisturize I apply my primer, then i pat my benefit porefessional balm, spray my face with UD deslick spray, use some concealar and set my concealar with this foundation using my 182 kabuki brush. If im in a hurry Ill just do primer, spray and founation with a sponge and spary again! and Im good!

Google to animal lovers: no donkeys were hurt
Comment on this storySan Francisco - Google on Wednesday moved to reassure users that no animals were harmed in the making of its popular maps after a street view picture surfaced of a donkey lying on the side of a road.
The message put out Wednesday by the Internet giant was prompted by reaction to the picture, which gave the impression that a Google Maps car had run over a donkey on a dirt road while gathering Street View images in Botswana.
In a blog post titled "Never ass-ume," Kei Kawai of Google Maps said the donkey was merely enjoying a roll in the dirt when the car approached.
"Because of the way our 360-degree imagery is put together, it looked to some that our car had been involved in an unseemly hit and run, leaving the humble beast stranded in the road," Kawai said.
"I'm pleased to confirm the donkey is alive and well."
His blog post included a set of images showing the donkey standing and moving aside as the Google Maps car neared, and then staring inquisitively at the departing vehicle. - Sapa-AFP

Suspend Your Disbelief And Get Scared Silly By THE COLLECTION
Mar 21, 2013
For reasons I've never quite considered, I do like a good horror picture. Oh, I don't think that makes me a sick or psychotic person at all. I think it's that horror – a truly good (not great) horror film – taps into some of our deepest fears. About the dark. About abduction. About knives or bullets or other blunt instruments. About isolation. About being caged. About the sight of blood. About entrapment. About bugs. About killers. About death, even. Life is so fragile, after all, and we never truly know when it's going to be taken away from us, and some folks who make good horror (again, not great) learned a long time ago that "if you build it, people will come."
(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and characters. If you're the kind of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I'd encourage you to skip down to the last two paragraphs for my final assessment. If, however, you're accepting of a few modest hints at 'things to come,' then read on …)
Elena (played by the comely Emma Fitzpatrick) didn't realize that she was in for the night of her life by attending what she thought was going to be a killer underground 'rave' warehouse party. Well, 'killer' was right as it turns out the venue was little more than an elaborate booby trap meant to ensnare hundreds of victims for 'The Collector,' the latest masked psychopath to put teens on the run. By a strange twist of fate, Elena frees Arkin – the Collector's last intended victim – and just when the man thinks he's finally free, he finds himself abducted once more: this time by a team of crack mercenaries hired by Elena's millionaire father. Despite the odds being stacked against them, they're intent on finding the young girl before any harm comes of her, but they'll need Arkin to led them back into the territory of his deepest, darkest fears if they're to have a chance.
God only knows what's waiting for them …
THE COLLECTION is a sequel to 2009's modest hit THE COLLECTOR, which was the first to feature the said psychopath – a masked man whose apparently fetish is to collect human specimens for display in his own grotesque menagerie. And, for all its faults, I thought much of THE COLLECTION to actually be well-made if not a bit predictable, delivering exactly the same kind of nerve-wracking suspense audiences long enamored with the SAW franchise have come to expect. How is that possible? Well, it's probably because the writers of SAW IV, V, VI, and VII were none other than Patrick Melton and Dunstan – the same team at work here.
So – much like has already been done in the SAW yarns – audiences can expect more than the lion's share of elaborate traps and get-ups that promise to produce more blood per ounce than any other franchise worth its weight in human bones. Yes, it's gratuitous, but it's just what the doctor ordered when it comes to contemporary horror. For that matter, as much as we protest things used to be different, there really isn't that much difference stylistically in this than say most schlock produced in the 80's; if anything, the writers have grown a bit more involved in fleshing out the craziness (pun intended), and the film works entirely on that level.
To her credit, Fitzpatrick rises to the challenge, becoming the newest scream queen to enter that unfortunate sorority of actresses. She's to be commended for showing up, taking her punches, and rising to the challenge to save the hero when the stakes are down. Josh Stewart returns as Arkin (from the first film), and he as well embodies the character with enough cynicism to make him real along with enough realism to make audiences root for him. The rest of the cast? Meh, it feels a bit obligatory, almost as much so as having the main protagonist wear a leather fetish mask. Didn't Jason and Leatherface corner the market on those scares? Is there really room for one more?
If anything, THE COLLECTION's downside is that it expects its audience to suspend disbelief perhaps a bit farther than most films of this variety. I mean just how much disposal income can one psychopath have? He's outfitted an old hotel with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and steel and traps; where does he get all of his money? I honestly expected that there would be some grand reveal in the final reel, and I expected he'd pull off his mask to show me none other than Donald Trump waiting underneath. But, alas, it wasn't meant to be.
THE COLLECTION is produced by LD Entertainment and Fortress Features. DVD distribution is being handled through Lionsgate. As for the technical specifications, the film looks and sounds about as good as anything else in the horror genre these days; there are a few directorial flourishes compliments of Dunstan (who pulls double duty here as writer and director) that could've used some tightening, but film is a form of art. Lastly, there are a wealth of special features – five short flicks exploring the film and the process; a handful of alternate scenes; the theatrical trailer; as well as Dunstan and Melton's audio commentary – that should keep interested parties glued to their seats if not already impaled on them!
RECOMMENDED. It may not be perfect. It may not be the most original. But THE COLLECTION is lean and mean enough at just over 80 minutes that it should keep the interest of horror fans, at least, and that's no easy feat. Enjoy it for what it's worth – don't look for it to make perfect sense – and you're liable to have as much fun with it as I did.
In the interests of fairness, I'm pleased to disclose that the fine folks at Lionsgate provided me with an advance DVD copy of THE COLLECTION by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review.

I saw the first movie which I thought was ok, so I need to get around to this.
March 22, 2013
I completely missed the first one ... not sure I even heard of it, though it sounds familiar. And it has Andrea Roth (I see) so I'm surprised I missed it. She's a lovely! I'll probably check it out at the video store when I get over that way sometime soon.

I understood instantly that Nick was messing with me — but I also knew he was right. I was going back on my word, and I was doing it far too soon. If my oath was to mean anything ever again, I had to carry on.
Nick was immensely satisfied by my decision, but then, he was applying to colleges at the time and would soon accept an offer to attend Catholic University in Washington, D.C. — meaning that he'd be half a continent away for what was sure to be the most awkward period of my gestation. During his first semester, virtually every conversation we had with him featured Deb reciting what became her mantra about my hair: "This is all your fault."
In the meantime, though, something unexpected happened. My hair started looking better. The growth on top reached the point where it was visible from a distance without the use of binoculars, and the waves on the side were no longer swooping quite so uniformly. The overall effect wasn't attractive, exactly, but it fell short of jaw-slackeningly hideous. A visiting friend went so far as to say I looked good — though he warned me not to succumb to the urge to put my hair in a ponytail. I laughed at the very thought. A ponytail? The most embarrassing hairstyle any man could pick? No way on earth would I wear a ponytail.
The next judge I went before was my mother, whose sentences are dependably harsh. But to my profound surprise, she actually said nice things about my hair when we visited her in Arizona in late March. Unfortunately, though, this sojourn was as good as it got for me, hair-wise. As spring stretched into summer, my coiffure became absolutely impossible to manage. It refused to stay put, with even the slightest breeze causing strands to fly around my face like a swarm of gnats — and my attempts to toss it out of my eyes with a flick of my head did nothing but give me a literal pain in the neck.
At Westword, one of my annual tasks is to name the local TV news personalities with the best hair — an irony roughly the size of Mount Kilimanjaro, since my own hair had never been a concern. Now, though, I was thinking about it all the time. The more I mulled over my problem, the more I realized I needed professional help.
Melanie Shelley to the rescue.
Shelley got her professional start in New York City, assisting at runway shows starring the likes of Cindy Crawford before moving on to magazine shoots featuring Antonio Banderas and plenty of other notables. Today she owns Trim Classic Barber, one of the top salons in the South — her clientele includes Faith Hill and Ashley Judd — and she's also been featured in an episode of the Style Network series Split Ends.
"Physiologically, I think we are actually programmed to be obsessed with our hair," she told me. "I don't believe it's something our culture tells us. I think from the beginning of time, there's a physiological trigger in us that makes us obsessive about our hair."
That goes for men, too. Whether because of the rise of what's become known as metrosexuality or simply a gradual breakdown in the preconceptions that made men shy away from fiddling with their follicles, Shelley has noticed that many of her male clients are now comfortable enough to use hair tools that their fathers and grandfathers would never have touched. "I have probably ten or twelve guys who own flat irons," she said. "They pull out their curls in front with it. Or they have short, spiky hair, and they want it to do different things without putting product in it."
Not that product is verboten. "Maybe there's a large group out there that still isn't using hair products," she allowed. "But in my experience with high-profile people — and I'm talking about senators and heads of companies and heads of health-care organizations — these guys really know that images are very important. They've figured it out."
Clearly, I hadn't. But now I knew that I had to set my product phobia aside or I'd never make it to year's end without throwing myself under a riding lawnmower and letting the blades do their duty. So I described my specific hair dilemma to Shelley — not just the year's growth pledge, but the type of hair I had on different parts of my head — and asked her to give me a long-distance prescription. She advised me to use "a thickening spray" on the top, to counteract the hormonal changes that made the hair there thinner than the kudzu elsewhere on my noggin, and a "relaxing balm" on the back and sides in order to "chill them out a little bit." Afterward, I should work "grooming cream" through the last two inches of hair all over my head. She described it as "almost like hand lotion for hair."
These directions seemed extraordinarily complicated to me, and a trip to the local beauty-supply store disturbed me even more. I staggered through the aisles, shell-shocked by the sight of $150 straighteners and every kind of mousse other than Bullwinkle. But this discomfort was nothing compared to the alarm I felt after applying the recommended ingredients the next morning. When I brushed the top after using the thickening spray, the hair laid out in narrow ridges, like a sad parody of cornrows, and the gel plastered the hair to the side and back in massive clumps that, after drying, made me look as if I'd fired my head in a kiln.

Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement
Re:all about the $$ (591 comments)
Blizzard is playing the role of a big-budget producer. If Blizzard had gone after Torchlight and built a strong off-line SP game, people would be complaining about how those "big" companies are being bullies to the little guys. They can't win no matter what they do. People need to put money toward products that fit themselves and stop whining. The marketplace is big enough for everyone and varies enough for many different flavors of games like this.
