Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Cuisinart Ice Cream and Gelato Maker Model No. ICE-100
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Cuisinart Ice Cream and Gelato Maker Model No.ICE-100 is loaded with features. Among its many perks: touchpad controls with an LCD readout, ice cream and gelato paddles, and an opening in the lid for adding mix-ins like fruit and chocolate chips. The model offers plenty of convenience too: Its built-in compressor allows you to make ice cream at a moment's notice (no pre-freezing required) so it can make batch after batch, no problem. Plus the machine stops automatically when ice cream is ready and switches to keep-cool mode. But in spite of all the bells and whistles, it didnt make impressive ice cream and sorbet. Plus, the unit is bulky and expensive. For excellent ice cream and the same convenience, look to our top compressor pick, the Cuisinart ICE-50BC.

Our Vision
Our vision is for all foster children in the U.S. to have a permanent home.
Our Mission
The mission of Find Families In Mexico is to change the lives of U.S. foster children. For us, it's truly all about the children.
Our Organization
Our organization was created in response to thousands of requests from around the world pleading for assistance to locate relatives living in Mexico. Our organization has more than 100 years of combined experience dealing with Mexico. This expertise is critical to successfully unite foster children with their families, the first step to making a lasting impact on the lives of these children.
Published Article About and By Find Families In Mexico
Click here to see articles that have been written about finding family members, the foster care system and our successes. These articles have been carried in newspapers and Internet sites around the world.
Our Founder
Richard Villasana, a proud veteran and founder of Find Families In Mexico, is the leading expert and international authority on locating relatives in Mexico. Through his company, he has advised and guided more than 6,500 individuals, agencies, attorneys and non-profits to find family members in Mexico.
Richard has been interviewed by EFE, the world's largest Spanish media company, about his expertise in locating family members in Mexico. His expertise has been profiled in Foster Focus Magazine, newspapers in the U.S., Mexico, Spain and online on MSN Latino and Yahoo! en Español. He has spent 20 years living and working in Mexico. He was a university professor at UABC, Tijuana, B.C. and has given presentations at some of Mexico's largest institutions including IMSS (Seguro Social), SSA and ISSSTE. He is the speaker of choice at universities such as the University of Houston and Universidad Univer (Mexico), business associations (AIM - Tijuana Maquiladora Association) and corporations in Mexico such as Plantronics and ThermoFisher. Through FFIM, Richard offers training to agencies, CASA volunteers and judges about family finding in Mexico for U.S. foster children. Known as the Mexico Guru, Richard is also the leading expert on Mexico business practices, communication and culture. Corporate clients of his company, Marketing To Mexico, have included Cisco Systems, AT&T and Comet AG of Switzerland. He has been a translator for the United Nations and is the top selling author of "Insider Secrets for Doing Business in Mexico." Richard works with state and federal Mexican government agencies. "My biggest vice is Dr. Pepper. I should have gotten stock in the company. I can be talked into a lot of things with offers of a great hamburger pizza. If you catch me at 6:00am I may sound like I'm on caffeine. I love traveling and a good hike. It's not uncommon for me to be working at 3:00am. Fortunately, my wife of 13 years doesn't mind (too much) because you knows it's something that will help foster children."
Organizations We Have Worked With
Committed to Assisting Your Agency
Our organization continues to expand our range of services so that we can better meet the needs of child welfare agencies, private companies, non-profit and foster care organizations. We welcome participation from government and private organizations so we can assist them in addressing any challenges to finding permanency for children living without their parents or relatives.
Contact us so together we can help give more children in foster care permanency in a safe and loving home.

Bloomington, IN
This award-winning, 40,000 sf, two-story building contains wet and dry lab space, conference rooms, office and support space. The Innovation Center accommodates life sciences and internet technology start-up companies.
Messer's use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology on the Innovation Center – IU's largest and most complex design-build project – led us to complete the project in only ten months. In addition, the facility achieved LEED® Silver certification and was awarded the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Indiana's 2009 Award of Merit.
Design/build is a project delivery method in which one entity (the design/builder) enters into a single contract with the owner to provide architectural/engineering design and construction services. The owner defines the project requirements and scope, selects the team and then their involvement is minimized. The success of the project is contingent upon the ability to select a team that will meet all of the owner's needs.
- Single point of responsibility
- Simplified project administration for owner
- Promotes team approach
- Owner is shielded from architect/contractor disputes
- Design can be shaped to meet owner's budget
- Final costs determined earlier
- Faster project schedule

Re-Evaluating SUPERNATURAL
By Merrill Barr on February 15, 2014
The roller coaster that is television quality is often very predictable. Seasons 1-3 feel fresh and new because everything is just that, brand new and interesting to the audience. Season 4 drags a little, but ultimately succeeds. Then season 5 takes the show back to its roots and becomes awesome again. But after season 5, things usually take a turn for the worse. Arcs feel dull, characters feel tired, series simply lose those things that make them great in earlier seasons. After a while, there's nothing else to do… and that's what makes Supernatural one of the best series on television. Despite losing its original creator and show runner, Eric Kripke, at the end of season 5 and going through a bit of a rough patch in season 6 and parts of season 7, by the end of season 8, the series had not only re-found itself, but was able to create a new path that never has to end.
Arguably, the driving force of Kripke's tenure was one question: can you fight destiny? Sam and Dean were the chosen vessels of Lucifer and Michael in order to bring about the apocalypse. What made the dynamic interesting was towards the end, it seemed Michael and Lucifer had no interest in actually battling; they just felt it was what they had to do because it was the path written for them by God. We know how the rest of the journey plays: Sam and Dean fight off the angels and Sam goes to hell at the end of season 5, and a whole new world opens up in season 6.
What makes the show great is instead of cowering in an existence filled with nothing but a never ending monster-filled procedural, the series – like its characters – simply threw out the rule book. Suddenly, the driving question was no longer "Can you fight destiny?" It was, "What do you do now that you've changed it? What do you when your future's no longer written in stone?" Those questions opened up Supernatural to the world of Purgatory, falling angels, power struggles in hell; these are not the dynamics typical of a show in the ninth season of its run. Somehow, through a consistent drive to keep the series at the top of its game, Supernatural cracked the code on television longevity, without suffering in quality.
How many series can you name delivered one of the best episodes of its canon in season nine? Because that's what happened in "First Born." Not only did the hour contain one of the best Timothy Omundson performances on record, it actually dared to subvert one of the most well known biblical stories ever (something that's become typical of the CW series). Suddenly, Cain isn't an envious ass that killed his brother Abel for the heck of it; he's a protector that saved his brother's soul from being damned to hell at the cost of his own morality. What Supernatural realized after season 5 is it doesn't have to be beholden to the idea that the Bible ends at the end of days. Instead, it started looking to the Bible – among other ancient writings such as Greek mythology – for inspiration to build out the question of what happens after the world ends in biblical terms.
But in addition to all of this, and most importantly, Supernatural's managed to keep its characters lively. When Dean cries for a fallen comrade like Kevin, you still feel it. When Sam feels lost and betrayed by decisions made for him by his protective older brother, you still care. When Castiel stumbles through another element of humanity, you still laugh. Even in one of the most recent episodes, Garth, a character that's been all over the map in seasons past, was given a proper goodbye and true love as a freaking werewolf. Now, that's some really clever writing.
The reason it's important to point out the consistency of a show like Supernatural is because it's proof television can sustain, that just because a show's old, it doesn't mean it isn't still kicking. Despite existing on the fringes of the airwaves at The CW – the series actually holds the rare distinction of being older than the network it airs on – Supernatural's a show from which every other series on television can learn something. It's a show that dares to say to the world, "age is no excuse for laziness."
The other great thing about the Cain and Abel revamp episode was that it paralleled Sam and dean and the way they are always 'betraying' each other to save each other, willing to sacrifice their relationship and their own life for the safety of the other's.
I agree. Season 9 is possibly my favourite one, and I've loved even the ones people said were bad. I loved Castiel as human and his recovery from humanity.
Tag your flipping spoilers….!
In terms of story, seasons 1-5 are solid with 4 and 5 as my favorites of the Kripke era. Theses seasons helped me open my mind even further to the possibility of alternate lore. I really like the Idea of an Anti-Hero Lucifer and Angels who lie.
Season 6 and 7 in the Gamble Era, although a little slow kept the show going with the idea of Purgatory. The element of Eve and the Alpha's open's up the world for some interesting adventures. I'm hoping they bring that back for some monster episodes. I would love to see an Alpha Wendigo.
Now with the Singer/Carver Era The arc in season 8 started a little slow but really picked up at the end. What a cliffhanger that was. Season 9 so far is incredible. The monster of the week episodes are good. The Winchester story episodes like Road Trip and New Born are amazing. I really hope they keep referencing earlier seasons and bring things back like John's lock-up and a tracking spell. The way this series is headed, it's no wonder they were renewed for season 10.
They really could use an movie though. Like the Ghost-Facers episode but without the censorship.
This is exactly the reason why the show is loved by everyone especially me. When beginners watch the film they fall in love immediately because no matter what season you watching you never get tired of it. That's why the #SPNfamily is so strong and we would protect and fight for each other. Supernatural makes people love each other and is educational to, it creates a nation of open minded people. Its the best show on tv.
Aww, all this love for Supernatural and not one mention of Crowley, quite possibly the best and most entertaining villain/reluctant partner on TV. I mean, Mark Sheppard(the actor that portrays Crowley) is a boss, giving new dimension and style to the demon every season.
Thank you for such a great well written article! It articulates my feelings about my favorite show Supernatural never ceases to amaze me AND impress me. I am so invested in the characters and what happens to them. The story telling always feels fresh to me – like you said, the season 9 episode First Born was amazing. It easily became one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. I think what truly keeps the fans so invested and the show so fun to watch is the actors that work so hard to keep their characters layered and authentic. Jensen, Jared and Misha are all phenomenal actors. They are the life blood of the show. They are what keeps me tuning in every single week. They have the ability to draw out every emotion from their fans and induce laughter one minute and tears the next. Nine years later and Jared and Jensen are still delivering raw and genuine performances as Sam and Dean. This show not only survives but thrives because it has characters that are well written on the page and even better acted out on the screen. I'm looking forward to what the rest of season 9 holds and so excited for the future with the recent announcement of season 10!!
Wait, I thought everyone was pretty much in agreement that season 9 has been terrible, especially after all the potential it was given after the season 8 finale.
But this is cool too.
Well written and fresh once again
Actually Emily I think A lot of people think that this is an awesome season with twists abound
[…] By Merrill Barr […]
I think it's pretty amazing how they keep it fresh and fun too. I can't wait to see where this Mark of Cain story goes and what Crowley is up to!
Supernatural is at least 3 different shows now. The first show (1-5) was fantastic. The second show (6-7) struggled a bit. This third show (8-? so far) has sucked beyond the telling of it. Jeremy Carver has destroyed the basic, well-constructed and attentive continuity of the physics of the show, great ideas about After Destiny notwithstanding. My heart has been broken over it, too.
This review makes me want to watch Supernatural
"When Sam feels lost and betrayed by decisions made for him by his protective older brother, you still care."
Actually, this is something I'm getting a little sick of. In the beginning, seeing Dean being overprotective of Sam was entertaining and endearing but after 9 years of lying, manipulating and tricking each other I'm tired. Watching Dean taking Sam's agency from him like he did in 9×01 is not fun anymore. It's sad and boring actually. Fortunately, the show is adapting and changing. Making a good job in maturing these characters so they can become better versions of themselves, preserving all their good characteristics except sacrificing their loved ones and manipulating each other constantly. The secret about Supernatural is that instead of stagnating in the same circle this season, they're moving on. And having better ratings than ever -
I have loved this show since I opened the US mag before the premiere. Too me all seasons have been great and Jensen Jared mischa Jim and mark are amazing n the chemistry n friendship they have easily carries over to their on screen characters. Great job!
articles about television shows, discussing events that have aired are not spoilers. you should assume that an article posted after episodes have aired will discuss current events in a show. if you're not watching live, don't read them.
Great article! While the Mark of Cain is an interesting story, I am one of many that is wondering what Sam's story will be in the second half of Season 9. Sam should be getting the emotional POV from here on out which is long overdue. So excited for Season 10 and the wonderful performances that Jared and Jensen have given us over the years.
Thanks for a positive article on SPN. I think 9 has been really well done, save for a few hiccups. This is one of the few shows that has me wired and counting down the hours til the next episode.
I think "First Born" really revitalized the show and I hope to hell that Carver gives the boys a strong storyline to support the Mark of Cain and the repercussions of everyone's choices.
The theme of this season has been CONSEQUENCES. And Carver's team definitely hasn't shied away from showing the ugly side to all of our characters.
Some of the episodes have been rough on us, but overall it gives me hope that this new myth arc will sustain us through the Angel Wars and give us something to look forward to as 9 progresses into 10.
Great article! I've been saying that Supernatural is the Best Show on TV for years now — Nine seasons in and it still captures my imagination, makes me laugh, brings me to tears and can drive me crazy like no other show I've ever watched. In short, still awesome after all these years!
Now that Sam and Dean discovered they can time travel, I wonder if they could go up against a Weeping Angel?
Forget about how good or bad the seasons were. What keeps the show going is Sam and Deans relationship and how family always comes first.
And, let's not forget the love and support they show to the lgbtq community! They sort of make light of it with everyone always thinking Sam and Dean are lovers rather than brothers and while at first they denied it, now it's just a common assumption and they don't even care anymore. They show it as not being a bad thing or really a big deal at all becuase in reality, it's not and I think its a great way to represent it on tv.. And not to mention the amazing lesbian character, Charlie. A young, intelligent, beautiful girl who also just so happens to love women. They made it a small detail instead of basing her whole character around it and that I truly love and appreciate :)) This show has everything a person could ask for and more. Its story arcs have been continuously fresh and exciting and honestly I'd love to see it go far past 10 seasons.
Thank you for the amazing article! I love Supernatural, and it's a miracle that this show is so long on the air and it is still THAT good!
I'm totally looking forward to resolving the conflict between Sam and Dean and them making up, and the story arc around the Mark of Cain and Demon!Dean makes me happy beyond belief!
Supernatural FTW! -
It is also so well written. The dialogue is natural and sometimes sheer genius leaving you laughing or crying. I love Crowleys sarcastic bites as he calls Sam "moose" and Castiel's innocence. Dean " did you have protection? " Castiel. " I had my angel sword".
I also love how the writers mix serious and sad episodes with ones that are just so funny! The writers and the actors are amazing, love them all! -
I've been watching from the very beginning and I've never missed an episode! The writers don't pull any punches be it in reference to god or any other faith or religion. This is one of the things I love most. Sure there have been soft points over the years. Like for a while there the constant question who's gonna die and come right back this week. But what do you expect in the nature of a show based in the"Supernatural" world? The thing that sets this show apart from anything else on television are the laugh at themselves episodes like " The Real Ghostbusters" or " The French Mistake" removing the 4th wall would usually kill a series but for Supernatural it only made the fans love it even more. As long as the writers keep the stories fresh and the actors continue to deliver the caliber of performance they have been giving us for the past 9 years I don't see any reason this show can't go on forever. And now with the new spinoff coming next year we get twice as much supernatural a week! Yeah! The best thing I've found as opt this show is that no matter how many times you tardy it you always notice something you didn't catch before. And I personally never get tired of watching. Keep up the good woke guys and I promise I for one will not stop watching or recruiting new viewers!
[…] Nerdist to read the full […]
I have to say that, for me – I thought seasons 6 and 7 were the worst the show could do, and then season 9 came along xp Buckner/Leming as a writing team (who have, sadly, gotten to write entirely too many of the episodes this season) have made the show all but unwatchable. Compared to season 8, which I think has been, hands-down, the greatest Kripke-era season yet, most of the wonderful promise of season 9 went swirling down the drain.
I was heartbroken when I heard that Ben Edlund would be leaving to work on Revolution and only wound up more heartbroken when I saw how Buckner/Leming mishandled Castiel's human arc and pretty much everything else their writing came into contact with. They've blatantly ignored existing canon and introduced a bunch of stuff that makes exactly zero sense (oh, so angel blades can kill demons now, too? since when? and why make such a big deal about Anna finding her grace in season 5, if all Cas had to do was 'suck' some from another angel, effectively rendering his entire human arc all but pointless?). I really wish Ben would come back – he was the only one out of all the writers to really get Cas.
But I judge the seasons on whether or not I actually go back and rewatch the episodes. In this season, I've done that with maybe 4 episodes out of the 13 we've had, and that's a pretty dire ratio. I'm also rather tired of people talking about Sam's 'agency' but not bothering to think about the promise Sam extracted from Dean to go and be with Lisa after he kicked the bucket. So, you know, what about Dean's agency?
Jensen took some initiative and went to the writers to ask them to finally give Dean a storyline of his own. About 4 years too late, if you ask me. Dean should have had far more involvement with the Michael/Lucifer arc than he did. Amazing, how so much of that one season revolved around people trying to get Dean to say Yes to Michael and fulfill his role but it got dropped like a hot rock because reasons or something. Ugh. I hope the writers follow through and actually give Dean something to do besides play nursemaid and buttwiper to Sam all season. Yeah, sure, the show's about the brothers and all that, but it's getting old. I want to see Dean grow and become his own person – Sam's already got that. Dean doesn't, though. I want to see that balance redressed for him.
Supernatural is this gem of a show that has been long over-looked. They win awards and don't even get invited to the awards ceremony. It's a damn shame, because the actors are amazing. I've been blown away at how fresh they've kept it. Still new stories, new ground to cover. How many series are there, that have been on nearly a decade, say the same?
Oddly, the only show I can think of is Grey's Anatomy. The show that has been parodied on Supernatural (remember Dr Sexy, MD, anyone?) and even had Jeffrey Dean Morgan guest star in several episodes. Like the characters Sam and Dean, Drs Grey and Yang are each other's "person". And also like Sam and Dean, the good drs are growing apart.
I know it's a stretch, but I've always had in my mind "SuperGrey" when I watch Grey's Anatomy. Even the annoying April Kepner (or rather the actress) played a demon (which makes April a bit more fun for me, I picture her ripping patient's hearts out, instead of using a scalpel) who was really rather nasty, vile and slightly fun. Although all demons fall way short of the mark of awesomeness, compared to
Crowley.So, yeah, maybe all that was a bit of a stretch. My point is one of a parallel, two shows that are still going strong, still interesting and barely noticed by anyone but their most loyal fans. Which is a shame, because there's not a lot of quality television these days and I'm just glad I still have my two obsessions.
I belive part of the success is due to the hard work the cast does in conventions ..they keep close to their fans they listen to us to what our feelings are towards their characters..quite hard job together with keeping honest and genuine their acting full of enthusiasm and care. All this is tranferred to their characters and create amaizing atmosphere energy…we can clearly feel and appreciate. Thanks u all and keep going. !!!
Amen!!!Great show good ppl.I love the fact that it is about love and family and care for everyone.BC what some don't see is if we as ppl don't take of eachother we are doomed.
Thanks for this! I am really loving season 9, and I loved season 8 as well. I totally agree about First Born — it ranks up there with the best episodes of the series for me. Jensen was (and has been all season) phenomenal in that episode, as was Tim Omundson and Mark Sheppard. All the actors still bring their A-game 9 seasons later and that's really commendable.
I am so, SO excited for Dean's mark of Cain storyline. I hope they go all the way with it, and keep this one Dean's… and hopefully this time it will be Sam taking Dean's role, and saving his brother this time around. It looks like Dean may go dark this season, especially after the talk at the end of The Purge, and that's an exciting thought.
Really looking forward to seeing where they take this season from here! Thanks for the review.
I love the show watch it daily Love the guys the whole cast is AWESOME!!!!!
story lines are great.
best show on TV. -
This show has something other shows don't – the fanbase that does most of the fan recruiting, and has kept the show onair when even the network didn't support it. Supernatural survives due to the talents of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, with stalwarts like Misha Collins, Mark Sheppard, Jim Beaver, and some great guest stars – but let's call it like it is, this show succeeds DESPITE ITS WRITING, while new showrunner Carver has written some of the best single episode, he has failed to keep the narrative coherent, and keep the show continuity (And this show's audience is most rabid in keeping to canon) now as we go into season ten, everyone in the writing room get to your flatscreens and WATCH past seasons, get these characters in your head and do them justice! then Jensen and Jared won't have to swap character lines anymore, and Castiel can do more than be tortured each week.
Great article and I am with ya! I will say I had hoped Season 9 would be a tad better (not that is is bad mind you) but I have enjoyed it.
Season 1-3 are still my fave and I would love to see some more sarcasm and light heartedness between the boys. I miss that.
However, the show has kept me guessing and continues to surprise me.
I love the fanbase and how crazy we are all about this show and the interaction we are able to have with the actors. I am super excited about Season 10 and I am ready for some fresh new ideas..hopefully this Cain mark will be it.
But seriously, my Sam needs to forgive Dean already, give him a hug and move on. We got demons to kill..no time for this drama!
[…] kind of surprising it's taken this long for The CW to attempt another Supernatural spin-off after the planned old-west set drama about the days of Samuel Colt fell through. This time […]
I have never watched a show and loved it as much as Supernatural. This show is amazing. It has a way of pulling you in. I believe this is working because not only is great but you can tell they all enjoy what they are doing. The cast and the crew are really like a family and take pride in what they are doing. Having Jared and Jensen is a plus also. They all connect with the fans and you can see that. I do have my favorite ones but in all this show is amazing
[…] we've discussed here before, Supernatural is on a major upswing, and this past week's episode with Dean coming to terms with […]

Children Of Bodom: Follow the reaper
19/04/12 || BamaHammer
I'm actually not a big COB fan. I'm also not a huge fan of painted fingernails, mascara, pinstriped Rhoads guitars, the bratty punk faux-attitude, the keyboard orchestra hit, or most of the other little annoying things that COB is known for. What I do enjoy is the world-class musicianship (the guitars and keyboards in particular), the infectiously catchy songwriting, and the sheer unbridled energy that the Bodomites showed on this, their magnum opus, "Follow the reaper".
Obviously, Children of Bodom, for some reason, doesn't hold as much credibility and reverence today as they once did. I don't think that COB ever really jumped the shark or changed what they do to the point that people started either loving or hating a polarizing new image (like In Flames). In fact, Alexi Laiho is still an amazing and ever-improving guitarist, and their albums still sound like COB, but I feel like I have personally just "grown out of them", so to speak. Or something.
Anyway, "Follow the reaper" is undoubtedly the best this band ever got. Almost every song is memorable and immensely enjoyable, and as a whole, the record sounds fantastic. I remember that the energy completely blew me away the first time I heard it, and it honestly still does today. The band is in a mode of relentless and aggressive attack, and they never let up for a second.
If you've heard Children of Bodom before (and honestly if you haven't, you've been living under a rock for a decade), you already know what this album generally sounds like. However, what gives "FTR" the decisive edge over the band's other decent works is the reliance on the pure quality of the music as opposed to the added focus on that silly image, which might be one of the reasons why this band lost me along the way. The bottom line is that you just do not find tracks like "Everytime I die" or "Mask of sanity" on any of their other albums, and especially the albums release since this one. The overall quality on just those two tracks alone in terms of song structure are light years beyond anything you'll find on their last three albums.
The guitars and the keyboards work in a symbiotic way that you don't hear often as well. I have no idea how deep the relationship was between Warman and Laiho during the writing process for this album (and frankly I don't want to know), but they sound like they're existing inside each other's minds for pretty much the entire duration of the album. The way they trade off leads is almost creepy in how they resemble each other in style, seeing as they are both extraordinary wanking virtuosos anyway. It's not just the leads either. Both instruments absolutely shine in the riff department as well. Everything both guitarists and Warman do, they do with an inhuman tightness that's just flat-out impressive.
If you hate COB with a passion, will "Follow the reaper" perhaps be something you might enjoy? Hell, it might possibly be. It's surely the most mature and highest quality release these dudes have ever had, and I'm fairly certain they'll never even remotely approach this level of greatness again.

Why We Should Change the Chase Points System
At one race away from the ten race Chase for the Sprint Cup Series Championship, I feel I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. My driver, along with the top 10 series drivers, is pretty much locked into the Chase for the Cup. However, just like last season, I am left wondering if the Chase doesn't need to be changed slightly.
I don't think the "play offs" for NASCAR should rely so heavily on the driver's performance throughout the season. While it is important to have that performance through the 26 races that get you into the chase, I don't think it's necessary to reward that performance once the chase begins. I think the "chasers" (those who are in the top 12 of the points standings at the end of race 26) should all start their playoffs (the chase) on equal footing. It is my firm belief that by having the top 12 start on equal footing it will give the chase a bit more excitement and make it that much more competitive.
I think NASCAR should give each of the top twelve drivers 5000 points and let them start anew. I think this will increase excitement for fans AND for the drivers and teams. No one will be worried about starting the chase "behind." It would give the teams with "momentum" incentive to work hard to continue their drive for the cup and it would give the 11th and 12th place cars hope that they too have a chance for the series cup trophy even if they have no wins currently under their belt or no real momentum going into the chase. If the driver has more hope that he can win the championship, so does the fan for that driver, thus increasing excitement and drive.
Now, I am not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't see any reason why dropping the bonus points would be a problem. The only thing I can possibly think of is that if qualifying for the first chase race is rained out. Then there might be the issue of how to place the top 12 since they are on equal footing (all tied at 5000 points at the beginning of the chase). My answer to this problem is to go by the points standings at the end of the 26th race in the event that qualifying for the first chase race is rained out. This would only be an issue during that first race of the chase as after the first race, the drivers will have points differences between them based on finishes. Doing this makes the chase less of a mini season within main "regular season" to a stand alone playoff format.
Do you agree? What do you think?

CLEAR Coalition Urges Lawmakers To Reject Gov. Corbett's Flawed Budget Proposal
HARRISBURG, Pa.,
Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Gov. Corbett's 2013-2014 budget proposal is built upon false promises and false choices that will further erode
Pennsylvania's middle class, the CLEAR Coalition said in a statement issued today.
The budget proposals hinges in large measure on the governor's flawed proposal to dismantle the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) and his illegal plan to slash pension benefits for tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
"This is a cynical approach to addressing some very real needs our Commonwealth confronts," said Dave Fillman, Executive Director of AFSCME Council 13. "This governor would have you believe that we need to lay off 5,000 PLCB workers and threaten the retirement security of teachers and nurses if we want to make sure our schools are well-funded. Lawmakers know better. Pennsylvanians know better."
"This budget needs to be rejected and Gov. Corbett needs to go back to the drawing board," added Fillman.
Gov. Corbett's budget proposal calls for outsourcing the PA lottery; dismantling the PLCB; slashing retirement benefits that hard-working Pennsylvanians have already paid for; and flat funding for our colleges and universities. "Voters and legislators can't permit the administration to use children and schools as pawns to advance his political agenda of selling off profitable public assets or denying public employees the pensions they contributed to throughout their careers," said Ted Kirsch, President of the Pennsylvania AFT. The CLEAR Coalition identified roughly $2.3 billion in savings and revenue enhancements that could be used to balance the budget and fund core programs and services that include closing corporate tax loopholes, cutting waste and abuse, and demanding greater efficiency in how government delivers services. The bulk of these recommendations have been ignored by the Corbett administration. "The governor refuses to consider viable alternatives to tax cuts for corporations and devastating cuts to public education, our colleges and universities, healthcare services for our elderly and needy," said Kathy Jellison, President of SEIU, Local 668.

Barcia: Well, there's cops already back there.
Operator: Oh, they're already in your back yard.
Barcia: Yeah. I don't know whether to open the door or not.
Operator: Well, they haven't told me that they're ready to speak with you yet.
Barcia: But did they catch somebody?
Operator: I don't know. I don't know.
Barcia: I don't know. I got scrapes. I don't know what, from the glass or from what. I don't know if they fired back at me or what.
Meanwhile the police were already taking positions outside. Cabrera and Thelwell were in front, hiding. Wever kicked his way through the wooden fence door and rendezvoused with Dominguez at the back of the yard. Dominguez was on the radio. Murphy was next to the shed struggling to breathe. He crawled to where Wever and Dominguez were crouching and the two hoisted him over the concrete wall. Then they followed. From behind the concrete wall they spied Barcia pacing his house and reported his movements over the police radio.
Dominguez: Advise units I got an eyeball. He's right in front of the front door [unintelligible].
Dispatch: [unintelligible] advises he's [Barcia] right in front of the front door at 1-1-9-4-1 Southwest 2-0-8 Terrace. White male, no shirt
Dominguez: 1300. I'm eyeballing the subject. He went back into the residence.
Dispatch: 1300 advises he went back into the residence at 1-1-9-4-1 Southwest 2-0-8 Terrace. Requesting all units to a 3-15 to there. Subject's inside. A white male no shirt. He has a Glock 9 millimeter.
Dominguez: 1300. He's walking back and forth to the front door. Have all units use extreme caution. He shot at uniformed officers already. He's opening the front door, ma'am.
Case pending
Preliminary ballistics results shown at the bond hearing illustrate that at least one bullet exited the right side of the French doors, as Barcia claims. However, prosecutors say the bullet's trajectory was straight, and not at an angle, as Barcia says it was when he fired the first warning shot. Barcia's lawyer, Ron Lowy, is obtaining an independent ballistics report.
The bond hearing lasted an astounding fifteen hours, during which Wever, Cabrera, and Murphy testified. Dominguez provided an affidavit, and Thelwell provided two formal statements. The officers' accounts matched; each emphasized they'd identified themselves several times before any shots were fired.
Barcia was released on bond after spending three weeks in Turner Guilford Knight Detention Center. He is suspended from his job at the county without pay until the case is resolved. But his co-workers have collected more than $1000 to help him and his wife. A trial date has not been set. In the meantime, he's working at a used car lot. He wears an ankle monitor and is only allowed to go to work or Mercedes's grandmother's house, where the couple is currently staying.
Mercedes's baby is due in June. They haven't returned to their home in Cutler Ridge and are putting it up for sale. Lowy, Barcia's lawyer, recently filed a motion to allow Barcia to go to church with his wife on Sundays.
Below is a full transcript of the 911 call placed by Mercedes Barcia
12:43 a.m. -- call begins:
Operator: Miami-Dade County Police and Fire.
Mercedes: Yes, there's people in the backyard and they [can't breathe]
Operator: Okay. Slow down. What's the address?
Mercedes: 1-1-9-4-1 Southwest 2-0-8 Terrace.
Operator: And there's people in the backyard?
Mercedes: Yes.
Operator: 1-1-9-4-1 2-0-8 Southwest Terrace.
Mercedes: Yes.
Operator: Do you know what they're trying to do back there?
Mercedes: They're trying to break into our [unintelligible]
Operator: I'm sorry?
Mercedes: They're trying to break into our, tapping into our window really hard. It woke us up
Operator: They're trying to break into what?
Mercedes: Through the back sliding glass door
Operator: Stay on the phone with me, okay? Hon', the police are on the way. What is the phone number you're calling from?
Mercedes: 3-0-5 9-7-1 19-44
Operator: What's your name?
Mercedes: Merci.
Operator: Merci?
Mercedes: Yes.
Operator: Okay. Stay on the phone with me. I have the police on the way, okay?
Mercedes: 1-1-9-4-1 Southwest
Operator: Southwest 2-0-8 Terrace. Can you give me a description of the person who's trying to break in?
Mercedes: [crying]
Operator: Merci?
Mercedes: Yes.
Operator: Stay on the phone until the police get there. Can you give me a description of the people that are trying to break in?
Mercedes: I have no idea. My husband told me when he got into the room.
Operator: How many people? Do you know?
Mercedes: I don't know.
Operator: Ask your husband. Did he see 'em?
Mercedes: He. There's a flashlight in the ground in the back. So he went; he won't let me go outside.
Operator: Okay. Stay on the phone with me. I have the police on the way. It might be the police. We have a lot of police officers out there in the area, okay? So I don't know yet. But they're going to let me know if it is or not.

*Updated* Get $25 worth of magazine subscriptions for free from Zinio (you pick which mags, no credit card required)
Posted By Ashraf On November 18, 2011 @ 5:06 PM In Freebies | 13 Comments
[1]For many nowadays physical printed magazines are a foreign concept. We prefer to get our fix via the web as opposed to printed media. Traditional magazine companies, obviously, suffer because of this change in consumer tastes. To make up for lost revenue, many popular magazines have gone online. To foster purchasing magazines online, multiple different "subscription companies" have popped up. Zinio is one of them.
Zinio is a company that aims to bridge the gap between magazines and web content by offering magazines in a digital format; users can purchase from Zinio many of the popular magazines they have come to know and love, typically cheaper than what printed versions of the same magazines cost. Once you purchase a magazine from Zinio you can read/view it in multiple different formats:
Zinio in of itself sounds like a handy service if you are into magazines. What makes it even better is until 3/31/2012, all new registrants of Zinio gets free $25 credit to buy any magazine subscription(s) they see fit. (Zinio works on a pay-per-use model so registering on Zinio is completely free.)
[Note to parents: Zinio has an array of magazine choices; this includes some magazines you probably don't want your kids to see or read. There is a "safe view" feature on Zinio but it is easily toggleable on/off and it doesn't even block all the non-kid-friendly mags. I suggest either not letting your kids near Zinio or controlling access to the website.]
To get $25 worth of magazines for free, follow these simple directions:
Update: It appears this offer may or may not be USA only. The official Facebook announcement doesn't mention being USA only but dotTechies outside USA report this isn't working for them. There may be a work around, though. Adrain reports if you click on the flag in the top-right corner and select the website for your specific country and then register, you can take advantage of this offer even while outside the USA. Good luck!
At this second step there are three things to keep in mind.
Firstly, the trial subscription is the standard trial everyone gets when signing up for Zinio. It is not part of the free $25 credit campaign Zinio is currently running. The $25 credit is in addition to the trial subscription you select while registering.
Secondly, by default Zinio signs you up to receive their newsletter. If you don't want it, be sure to select "No, thanks, not right now." from the right hand side at this step.
Lastly, all the settings on the right of this screen are completely optional. You don't have to give Zinio your age or gender if you don't want to.
Once you are at the screen similar to the above (you won't necessarily be shown PC Magazine — you will be shown the trial subscription mag you selected) you are done creating a new Zinio account. However, there are still a few more steps you need to do to take advantage of the $25 credit.
This gift card code is how you redeem the $25 credit. As mentioned in the e-mail you can use this code while checking out in your shopping cart; or, you can redeem the $25 credit without actually buying a magazine (yet) and have it attached to your account for use at a later date. To attach the $25 credit to your account go to the Gift Cards [7] part of Account Settings [8], enter the code in the Gift Card Code box and hit the submit button:
After you submit the page will refresh. If you see a gift card listed on the screen…
…then you are good to go! You will be able to put the $25 towards any magazine purchases you make on Zinio.
One thing to note is the fact that the gift card code has a shelf-life of 30 days. It is not clarified if you must use the $25 credit (i.e. buy magazines) within 30 days or you must redeem the code and have it attached within 30 days. My guess is the latter, so to avoid losing the free $25, I suggest – unless you plan on buying magazines from Zinio right now – to attach the gift card to your account as described above.
Enjoy (responsibly)!
Thanks PCbasics [11]!

Airport News
Heathrow Airport expansion opponents will get their day in court
Fri, 07 Aug, 2009
A High Court ruling has gone in favour of protestors to the planned third runway at Heathrow Airport as it is decided that they have a right to a legal challenge to the plans.
Transport secretary Geoff Hoon gave his backing to the controversial expansion in January but the issue will now be decided in court due to the level of public interest.
A coalition of local councils and a number of charities including Greenpeace and WWF-UK will be involved in the hearing and claim that installing a third runway and sixth terminal at the international travel-hub flies in the face of emissions promises made by the government.
Lord Justice Dobbs said: "There are some areas in which clarification is desirable, including the issue of the defendant's statement to parliament."
The Department of Transport has stood by the announcement of support from Geoff Hoon and BAA is keen to stress the positive impact the runway would have on Britain's economy.

I can always depend on this hotel for a very relaxing stay. The staff are always very accommodating and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
great place to stay
January 28, 2015
we stayed here during a weekend getaway. I will return for sure, everything was great and just the way i expected.
Nice clean accommodations
January 24, 2015
This Candlewood exceeded my expectations. Being the lowest of the IHG line I had relatively modest expectations. Over 180 nights in hotels last year (150 at IHG hotels), stayed two or three times at Candlewoods last year. This one is better.
My previous experiences would lead me to avoid this name and look for a Holiday Inn Express or above. Because of this stay I will think of staying at Candlewood more readily in the future.
The only downside was the kids running in the hall and a dog barking in a nearby room. All was quiet when it came time to actually sleep however. It would have been annoying if I had wanted to take a nap.
Bed/Bedding was clean but basic. Room had full dark shades.

Get Geared Up, May is National Bicycle Month
By: Shelly Sanders
Being an avid bicyclist on an island filled with trails, I was happy to discover that next month is the official National Bike Month. According the League of American Bicyclists:
"Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to giving biking a try."
I think May is the perfect month for this! Weather is warming up everywhere and the great outdoors are calling. When I was growing up, a bike was pretty much a bike. Nowadays, there are so many different varieties – from beach cruisers to mountain bikes to fixed gear and track bikes – it's hard to not find one that suits your particular needs.
In honor of bike month, here are my tips to finding the perfect bike for you.
Basic Bike Types:
While there are plenty more bike types out there, I thought it best to focus on the three most popular styles for the average person.
Road Bikes = Urban
Best for: Pavement.
Mountain Bikes = Rural
Best for: Dirt or rocky trails and gravel roads; OK for pavement too (with tire change).
Cruisers = Fun
Best for: Relaxed riding on flat terrain.
No question about it, Sanibel is a cruisers paradise! Miles of beach and endless bike trails allow for plenty of bonding time for you and you bike.
Need more help finding and fitting the right bike for you? Check out this resource:
