Texas-based refrigerated carrier Continental Express has purchased the assets of Ohio company Ranger Refrigerated Express for an undisclosed amount.
Continental is a national company based in Sidney, Ohio. Ranger Refrigerated is based in Fort Worth and serves primarily the state. The new Fort Worth location will join Continental's current terminals in Sidney, Ohio; Gaffney, South Carolina; Danville, Virginia and Louisville, Kentucky.
"Logistically this makes perfect sense for our current business strategy and also for future expansion plans," says Continental owner Russell Gottemoeller. "We currently have a good presence in Texas but lack the physical location to continue to expand in this market. Bringing this facility into the Continental network will allow us to service all of Texas and the entire Southwest United States."
He also says this purchase will now provide Continental drivers and trucks with a home base in the Southwest.
Continental Express says it has hired existing Ranger Refrigerated employees. The company also plans to hire additional drivers and support staff. Continental says it employs over 420 drivers, mechanics and office staff companywide. The company website says it has 315 trucks and 700 trailers.

Wallabies kick off World Cup preparations
ESPNscrum Staff
July 15, 2011

Australia will step up their preparations for this year's Rugby World Cup with a clash against Samoa at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Sunday.
Robbie Deans' side date with the Islanders is their first outing of the year and their only warm-up before they kick off their Tri-Nations campaign against South Africa at the same venue on July 23. Samoa enter the clash fresh from a mixed return at this year's Pacific Nations Cup that included a victory over eventual champions Japan but defeats to South Seas rivals Fiji and Tonga.
The game will see these two sides meet for the fifth time with Samoa looking to redress the balance having been on the losing side on the four previous occasions - most recently suffering a 74-7 hammering in 2005.
Australia - Player to Watch: All eyes will be on captain Rocky Elsom as he attempts to draw a line under an injury-plagued domestic season.
Australia - Team News: Melbourne Rebels scrum-half Nick Phipps, NSW Waratahs lock Sitaleki Timani and Reds winger Rod Davies bring a fresh element to the starting XV, while fellow newcomers James Hanson and Beau Robinson, both from the Reds, are named on the bench. The likes of Quade Cooper and David Pocock are rested while James O'Connor was a late withdrawal due to injury. Fellow first-choice stars Kurtley Beale and Will Genia start on the bench. Matt Giteau is handed the playmaking duties while Sekope Kepu is switched to loose-head following a season-ending injury for Benn Robinson.
Samoa - Player to Watch: Winger Alesana Tuilagi has been in try-scoring form of late and will no doubt make an impression on the Wallabies' defence.
Samoa - Team News: Highlanders' hooker Mahonri Schwalger will lead a side that includes Leicester winger Alesana Tuilagi, London Irish speedster Sailosi Tagicakibau, Japan-bound centre Seilala Mapusua and new Ospreys signing George Stowers. None of the players that featured in the 29-19 Pacific Nations Cup defeat to Tonga in Lautoka on Wednesday make the line-up for the Wallabies clash although five of them are included in the replacements.
Key Battle: Two contrasting wingers in Australia's Rod Davies and Samoa's Alesana Tuilagi are set to go head-to-head - both can be deadly with ball in hand but their defensive work will be equally important on Sunday.
Trivia: During his time at the Crusaders, Wallabies coach Robbie Deans had five of this Samoa squad under his care - prop Sakaria Taulafo, flyhalf Tusi Pisi, fullback Paul Williams, reserve hooker Tii Paulo and scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i
Stats: Australia have scored a total of 26 tries in their previous four meetings with Samoa who have notched just three.
Quote Unquote:
"The thing people need to realise is that this is a World Cup Samoa combination... they have a lot of players who have [European] and Super Rugby experience." - Wallabies coach Robbie Deans warns that it will not be one-way traffic.
"We can all agree the bigger picture is the Rugby World Cup and the Pacific Nations Cup has played a big role in preparing our boys for that." - Samoa coach Titimaea Tafua shrugs off his side's Pacific Nations Cup shortcomings.
Prediction: Australian rugby is set to get a wake-up call in the wake of the Reds' Super Rugby triumph with a battle-hardened Samoa looking to further their own World Cup hopes - but the hosts will roll with the punches before kicking off a big year with a win.

A real april the fool Poem by Konjit Berhane
Dedicated to our dog FoFi
Who died on long ago may his soul RIP
I cried and cried
When they told me that u died
I tried and tried
Not to believe them and think they lied
I ride and ride
And when I took a look
You were not on my side
I thought I was lost
With out a guide
Don't wanna go back home
And find no dog on the gate
It is meant that u be mine
It is your fate
But suddenly, men crossing the road
Laughing loud like a clown band
Waved and wished me, "Happy April fools! "
I laughed even more than theirs
And turn my bicycle
Headed home
just to find
A sad April the fool
Became so very real

I liked this a lot Konjit. At first off I was warey of the opening lines as they appeared as cliche. I read it through twice more and I can now see what you are getting at.
This is so well paced and begs the question is the loss of a pet equal to the loss of a human friend or relation? Is grief of the same intensity and quality for differing losses?
By God! I don't have the answers, but you certainly have done a fantastic job in raising the questions.
Much respect,

I do see alot of elements of your perspective in so may ways, relating to a dog's death (VERY SPRITUAL AND HUMAN) to the question of why other humans should die in war. Very deep and original, a lot of space to travel and for one's mind to grasp in order to understandwhere your own mind is taking us.

Steven Caulker to play for Tottenham despite Serbia 'anxiety'
Friday 02 November 2012
Andre Villas-Boas, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, has been assured that Steven Caulker is ready to play this weekend despite charges from Serbian police hanging over the defender.
The 20-year-old was playing in the Capital One Cup defeat at Norwich City on Wednesday when a Belgrade news agency named him as one of two England Under-21 players charged for their role in a brawl marred by alleged racial abuse at the end of the game in Krusevac.
Caulker and his club have still not been notified by Serbian authorities of the charge but he is likely to start against Wigan Athletic tomorrow despite Villas-Boas suggesting the situation could "create anxiety".
The Portuguese coach said: "I've spoken to him about the situation and he's up for the game. He is in the right frame of mind. He will be ready to play and he obviously has a big chance to play as he has been doing quite well to make selection.
"I'm not worried yet of the consequence of what can happen."
Caulker's form has kept Michael Dawson out of Spurs' first team this season and he was a key contributor in September's victory at Manchester United. Roy Hodgson rewarded Caulker with an England call-up before he returned to the Under-21s for the play-off against Serbia.
"I'm extremely happy for him," Villas-Boas said. "He is 20 years old and is doing extremely well, coping with the best strikers in the world – Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie.
"He's done it in the past for Swansea but there is more pressure on results now and he is doing well. I think he can have a bright future."
While Caulker has been made available to face Wigan, Mousa Dembélé has been ruled out and has undergone a scan on a long-standing hip injury. The Belgium midfielder suffered the same problem at Fulham and may need surgery, which would rule him out until the busy Christmas schedule starts.
"We want to avoid surgery if there is a possibility we can do it," Villas-Boas said.

One of the innovative ways that Chevy is marketing the all-new Corvette Stingray is by getting people behind the wheel to experience the car for themselves on a racetrack. That's the goal of the invitation-only Stingray Precision Drive Event which held its second event over the weekend in Palm Beach, Florida.
Photo Credit: Hemmings
The debate had ranged for months.
To wash or not?
When Harley Earl left General Motors in 1963, he was gifted with this unique Corvette Sting Ray Convertible that was customized to his interests by the style department he originally created. The Harley Earl Corvette was the featured vehicle at Mecum's 2013 Chicago auction and a little after 3pm ET on Saturday afternoon, the hammer fell with the sold price reaching $1.5 million.
Mecum Auctions blows into the Windy City this weekend for their annual sale. This year they christen a new location with 1,000 vehicles including over 90 Corvettes. The 3-day event kicks off Thursday, October 10th and runs through Saturday, October 12th at the Schaumburg Convention Center. Velocity will have 16 hours of live coverage from Chicago.
If you ever wanted to buy a C2 Corvette for a song, you just missed a good chance.
Over the weekend, the town of Colchester, Conn., auctioned off its 1967 Corvette that had been used for nearly 20 years as the police department's DARE vehicle.

JudyAnn Bigby, MD, Secretary of Health and Human Services
Posted by:
Yesterday marked a health care milestone in Massachusetts which I'm particularly pleased to blog about: Governor Patrick announced comprehensive health care payment and delivery reform legislation that is designed to control rising health care costs and improve patient care throughout the Commonwealth.
The Governor's proposal, "An Act Improving the Quality of Health Care and Controlling Costs by Reforming Health Systems and Payments," builds upon the Patrick-Murray Administration's bold leadership and success in achieving universal access to health care in Massachusetts. The bill takes the next important step: it offers a solution to ensuring that health care is universally affordable. This legislation changes the model for payments to providers and recognizes that doctors, nurses, and other providers want – first and foremost – to take care of their patients.
By encouraging the growth of "integrated care organizations" (ICOs), comprised of groups of providers that work together to achieve improved health outcomes for patients at lower costs, the bill offers alternatives to the current fragmented system that individuals find too complicated to navigate, especially when they have significant medical problems. Over the long term, providers who emphasize health and wellness or help individuals manage chronic medical issues, improve health and reduce system costs, but most importantly, make the patient experience better. In the current model, providers are not rewarded for those outcomes. Through this legislation, the Commonwealth will change incentives in the payment system by providing the necessary infrastructure and support for global and other alternative payment methods and innovations.
Specifically, this legislation:
- Encourages the formation of integrated care organizations (commonly referred to as Accountable Care Organizations or "ACOs") by providing standard criteria for ACOs;
- Requires that an ACO be certified by the Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (DHCFP), with financial oversight by the Division of Insurance (DOI), and directs DHCFP to standardize alternative payment methodologies;
- Requires that if contracts between payers and ACOs include shared savings, that savings must also be shared with consumers;
- Provides that the Attorney General will use existing authority to monitor ACOs to ensure no anti-trust violations occur;
- Aims to expand the use of alternative payment methods and significantly reduce fee-for-service payments by the end of 2015;
- Ensures transparency of payer and provider costs, provider payments, clinical outcomes, quality measures, and other information necessary to discern the value of health services which helps guarantee that consumers and businesses have accurate and available information about their health care.
Today's announcement not only reflects the Patrick-Murray Administration's enduring commitment to harnessing the rising costs of health care, it also marks the emergence of the next phase in Massachusetts health care reform: viable solutions to make care affordable.

Loose Exterior Door
We have an exterior door that was put on an enclosed porch/mudroom that we had put on a few years ago. The door worked fine in the beginning and it has a dead bolt lock as well as the door lock. After about a year, the door began getting harder and harder to lock, and felt loose. Now, we can no longer lock the door, it doesn't seem to "catch" and won't lock at all(both locks). This past summer it is so loose that a light wind will blow it open. I have to put a chair up against it to keep it closed. It almost looks like the door is too small for the opening. Now what?
Any suggestions?
Check the hinge screws into the jamb.
The supplied screws are often so short they do not reach into the framing and the load of the door pulls the screws part way out of the wood.
The door than sags and becomes hard to close (it rubs on the lock side of the threshold) and the locks in the door no longer line up with the strike plates for the locks.
If you remove a screw you should be able to get longer screws of the same type (normally flat head) and size (#9 is common) but at least 2.5 to 3 inches long to replace at least one short screw on each hinge (and two per hinge is much better).
If what brickeyee recommended does not work---and it should since short screws are the usual problem---it could be the screrws for the hinge to the door side.
Longer screws can work, depending on the door construction.You only want to use a screw about a half inch longer, however.
Another possible fix is to remove a screw and stick a couple of toothpicks in the screw hole, and replace the screw.
"You only want to use a screw about a half inch longer, however. "
Still so short it will not reach the framing.
You want to get a decent length of the screw into the framing around the jamb.
The jamb is about 3/4 inch, there is a shim gap of about 1/4 inch, and then there should be framing.
You want full diameter screw threads into the framing.

Another change beside his E perhaps make his Q more effective
For Q I suggest addition to the passive, if he kill unit will add 1 to his SS, but if he kills unit with SS he add 3 more (4 in total) to his Q, but I don't know if this number could be so OP the idea is just he gain small extra damage even if he doesn't use his Q to kill unit.
or it could be same as 3 but gain like 10-15 if he killed enemy champ, so killing champ is more rewarding..
For the number perhaps riot will know better if they apply this, I just can suggest the idea.

"For the past 20 years or so, I have had good and bad times but I enjoyed it all. It is pretty much like black coffee – bitter, sweet and very nice."
"I studied business and left for England. Engineering interested me, and I graduated with an engineering degree from Leeds University. I met Ilkay, my wife there. She went to Brunel University where she graduated in polymer science.
"In 1976, Ilkay and I came back to Thailand. Originally my family and partner's family planned to get into mining. And in order to analyze the rocks, ores and minerals, we needed to set up a lab. Then my partner's father suggested that we could also use the lab to create something representative of the area, and we came up with the idea of covering natural products such as exotic flowers and plants with gold. Well, the easiest way was to experiment with copper.
"So we started electro-plating products. We got a small bathtub, filled it with an electrolytic solution and placed anodes in there. We placed flowers in as cathodes wired to a DC rectifier and went home. Of course, we could not wait to see the results, so we came back at 2 or 3 in the morning. Yes, the flower should be nice by now. We took them out and… Wow! Only the wires were left! We tried and tried until we had our first flower covered with metal, but it really looked like a shrimp. So this experimenting lasted about two years. We had to start working professionally, because our process is not electro-plating, but rather electro-forming. Basically with electro-forming the layer of plating is much thicker and the surface better leveled than with electro-plating.
"It was a very demanding and challenging time for Ilkay and me because there were so many details involved in trying to get our products off the ground, working on packaging and advertising, etc. We had to run this activity like a proper business and, with our scientific backgrounds, this was another challenge. It was just as we were launching our product on the market that my partner married. His wife is in charge of marketing and has helped us tremendously.
"This new venture gave flavor to my life. It has enabled me to provide employment to others in my community, and they can provide for their families. From the very beginning, one of our main objectives has been to employ women, as there were few job offers for women then. Another main objective has been the environment, because we have to deal with chemicals. We reprocess everything we use and do not throw anything away. All our boxes are made out of recycled paper as well.
"I think our creations have a lot of potential. I do not think they will go out of fashion, because people generally love flowers. It is so interesting when you work for yourself. For the past 20 years or so, I have had good and bad times but I enjoyed it all. It is pretty much like black coffee – bitter, sweet and very nice."

Suncor's (SU +0.3%) decision last week to scrap its $11.5B Voyageur oil sands plant shows Canadian producers are betting they can boost shareholder returns by shipping crude directly to refineries instead of investing in costly processing. "There's going to continue to be a ramp-up in light oil and therefore that hurts the economics of an upgrader," a Canaccord analyst says.

New neighbours, new life for heart of Yonge St.
Evolution at flagship HBC echoes at Massey Tower and legendary Massey Hall
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 4 photoszoom
"We've always been ahead of the curve, and we're seeing incredible growth in digital sales."
Arren Williams
Street Numbers
A collection of funky sneakers is the style statement of Arren Williams, perennial hipster and former design writer and stylist.
On a more practical note, they also keep him fleet of foot. And that's vital for Williams these days. As creative director of home for Hudson's Bay Company, he has to stay a few steps ahead of décor and design trends as well as the many changes transforming Canada's grand old retailer. Not to mention the evolution of historic Yonge St.
The retail transformation has never been more evident than in the revamped seventh floor in the flagship Hudson's Bay store at Queen and Yonge Sts.
Graced with original windows that welcome natural light, the 28,500-square-foot space is a bright, new showcase for cookware, tabletop, small appliances and wedding-related items. (Furniture, bed and bath, and major appliances are on the sixth floor).
In the building that was first opened in 1896 (with additions that followed until 1969), the department's new space pairs nicely with an adjoining 20,000-square-foot Kleinfeld Bridal department that opened earlier this year.
Combined, it makes for what is surely one of the city's most handsome, diverse and exciting retail spaces.
Just back from scouting jaunts to London, Paris and New York, Williams agrees. "This is the best-looking floor out of any of the department stores we were in. We didn't even think that going in; it was just a wonderful discovery for us along the way."
The new look means the department will be ready for its toney new neighbour: a Saks Fifth Avenue, which is owned by HBC, will be located on the same floor late next year.
Nearby, two other venerable Toronto institutions — performance venue Massey Hall and the landmark 1905 Canadian Bank of Commerce building — are also each receiving an injection of new life. MOD Developments is building a 60-storey condo, Massey Tower, behind the bank building just north of Queen St., on the east side of Yonge, in the city's theatre block. The four-storey historic landmark will be refurbished as part of the 699-unit tower, to be completed in 2017.
Massey Hall, meanwhile, will benefit from the MOD Development's Victoria St. frontage (at the rear of the new tower) with a donation of land to the legendary music venue, built in 1894 and now one of Canada's National Historic Sites. The additional space will provide backstage and support facilities as the auditorium's interior features are restored.
Within that thriving hub, Williams says the revamped HBC floor will function "like a specialty store in downtown Toronto."
The department includes expanded selections of brands that Hudson's Bay currently carries, such as Staub (cookware) and Henkel (knives), and new brands, such as Fringe, a California-based company that makes great graphic mugs and pretty little tin candles with quotes like "Evil Genius" and "Love".
Shoppers who can't make it downtown can buy online, says Williams, adding that web sales will be an important focus over the next few years. "We've always been ahead of the curve, and we're seeing incredible growth in digital sales."
To help the online push, the company has launched HBC Digital to drive commerce and marketing strategy and execution for Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, Hudson's Bay and HBC Outlets. Apps such as Pounce, which allows tablet and smartphone users to instantly buy products seen in print by scanning an image, are also being added.
Back inside, the in-store experience will now include live cooking demos, book signings, and streamed lifestyle video.
Despite the move toward mixing the newest in high tech with retail, Williams has a deep appreciation for the classic brands that have been the backbone of Hudson's Bay for decades.
He points to Emile Henry ceramic cookware, which he says has been made from the same Burgundian clay since the company's inception in 1850. Then there's All-Clad cookware, made in the U.S. and a favourite of both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks.
Newer entries include a design-driven line from Joseph Joseph that Williams thinks is a good fit for smaller urban homes — perhaps the tiny 377 square-foot suites that will form part of the Massey Tower offering.
"It really is built for small spaces and condos. Everything stacks together and you get all the kitchen tools you need," he says, pointing to nesting bowls, foldable trivets and adjustable rollers, some in colourful silicone and some in stainless steel.
Of the house brands that have shown growth over the last few years, Brian Gluckstein Home is the biggest, according to Williams. "They play in so many categories," he says.
"We have some great bread and butter brands," he continues. "But everyone is working to become more fashionable and more relevant. And these days, there has to be a sense of story, of authenticity, for something to become really successful."
A sparkling china section that includes all the stars, including Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Sophie Conran, Kate Spade, has undergone serious editing.
"People come to us because they expect us to sell the best of everything at every price point," says Williams. "So we don't bring in everything, but we bring in the best of the line, and look for pieces that will really resonate with people."

Even after reports late last week revealed at least two former referees had been questioned by law-enforcement officials specifically about Bavetta Hue Hollins, and another unidentified one who told the New York Times he was asked essentially if Bavetta had a tendency to favor home teams the veteran ref worked last Sunday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals between Boston and the Lakers.
The Celtics won that series Tuesday night, taking Game 6 in Boston.
As for Game 6 of the Utah-Chicago finals in '98, Bavetta and his crew Hollins and Dan Crawford were the other refs, but Bavetta was in charge were involved in at least three calls/non-calls that continue to haunt many Jazz fans now 10-plus years later.
The first, relived during the Game 6 replay shown by ESPN Classic on the 10th anniversary last Saturday, involved a second-quarter shot by Jazz backup point guard Howard Eisley.
Less than 10 minutes remained in the quarter, and the Jazz were up by four at the time. Time was running down on the 24-second shot clock as Antoine Carr's long pass from down low sailed over the hands of Shandon Anderson, but Eisley chased down the ball and hoisted a 3-pointer that fell.
Bavetta disallowed the basket, much to the dismay of the NBC broadcast crew calling the game nationally.
Play-by-play announcer Bob Costas' call at the time: "Are they calling a shot-clock violation? Let's see. Dick Bavetta says, 'yes,' and they wave it off, though it appeared to me as he (Eisley) had beaten it."
Costas, after watching a replay moments later: "See if the ball isn't out of his hand. One second ... it's on the way, and they missed the call."
Analyst and ex-Bulls coach Doug Collins: "It's a big break for the Chicago Bulls. ... That should have counted. That's a big turnaround."
Sloan could be seen muttering some words, and later during the game he told NBC sideline reporter Jim Gray, "That's horrible, but I don't want to get thrown out of the game."
Fast-forward to the fourth quarter of Jazz-Bulls '98 Game 6, a game it should be noted, in light of questions from investigators about Bavetta that was played in Salt Lake City.
Utah is ahead 79-77 when Ron Harper of the Bulls hits a jumper with just under four minutes to go.
Costas' initial call: "He (Harper) beats the shot clock and cans a huge shot."
Though Bavetta himself did not appear responsible for the decision, his crew allowed the shot to stand.
After a break in the action, and with the benefit of replay, however, the NBC crew saw things differently, hindsight allowing for much-clearer focus.
Analyst Isiah Thomas: "You watch Harper as he takes this shot. Does he get it off in time? That's a tough call."
Costas: "They took a Howard Eisley three away, wrongly, in the first half. This one was even closer, but it appeared that Harper may have been a fraction of a second behind the shot clock."
More from Thomas: "I think that was a shot-clock violation."
But it counted anyway, helping to set up after Jordan's steal from Malone the most-debated call of the game.
Jordan's jumper with 5.2 seconds left gave the Bulls their ultimate margin of victory and a second-straight finals series win over the Jazz, 87-86.
Initial calls by the NBC crew suggested nothing about a shove, or push-off, on defender Bryon Russell by Jordan before the shot.
Bavetta, who was on top of the play, called no foul.
And, even after a replay, Collins said, "Bryon Russell slipped."
Thomas, though, saw things differently.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
First published June 1st 1996 - More than 19 years ago
The jassid
Small mouth - small flies!
By Preben Torp Jacobsen| Jassid | Grey Duster | Two flies in the act of sex |
The headline contains some truth in the sense: When trout/graylings eat tiny surface-food, they only nead to open their mouth to a narrow slot and sip the fly in. If one presents them with a fly with a broad hackle - then they can't suck it in through their narrow mouth.
Vince Marinaro in his book "A modern Dry-Fly Code", 1950 showed how he solved the problem.
For his famous 'Jassid' he uses:
|Model Perfect, regular size 16.
|Two short-fibred black cock-hackles wound as a palmer up over the shank, and then cut on top and bottom, so that the fibres only point out to the sides.
|An eye-feather from a Jungle Cock tied down, so it covers the shank.

Congratulations to Steven Van Dyne of Kenton, Ohio, who won the 2008 Country Living Fair Apple Pie contest! Now you can taste his winning creation with this blue-ribbon recipe, Granny Loves Pink.
GRANNY LOVES PINK (in a deep dish 9 1/2-inch round)
Crust: Basket Weave Top
4 cups sifted pastry flour
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp sea salt
3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup ice cold water
Note: Keep Crisco, butter, and water ice cold until ready to use
Combine dry ingredients. Cut Crisco and butter into mix using a pastry blender, leaving some pea-sized lumps. Add cold water by dribbling onto mix, tossing with fork until mix can be formed into equal size balls. Form 2 balls, flatten gently into 6-inch patties and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Egg wash
1 egg – beaten
1/4 cup milk
Whisk together thoroughly and set aside.
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (refrigerated)
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Combine dry ingredients. Cut butter into dry mix using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3 lbs Granny Smith apples
3 lbs Pink Lady apples
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon – fresh ground
1/2 tsp nutmeg – fresh ground
1/4 tsp cardamom
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 tbsp butter
Combine dry ingredients. Peel, core, half, and slice apples approximately 1/4 inch thick. Toss sliced apples in juice from one fresh lemon. Cover and set aside. Roll out one 12-inch crust and place in pie pan. Trim edge, leaving about 1/2 inch overhang. Roll out another 12-inch crush and cut into strips approximately 3/4 inch wide using a straight edge. Mix dry ingredients with apples and fill pie pan. Fill 1 1/2 to 2 inches above top of pan forming a round dome. This allows for shrinkage as it bakes. Next, dot the apples with 4 tbsp of butter. Cover the top of the pie with an even layer of crumb topping. Use a basket weave design and cover crumb topping with dough strips. Crimp edges as desired. Using the egg wash, seal the strips to top edge of bottom crust and crimp edge as desired. Continue to evenly coat the basket weave strips with egg wash to assure even browning. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge of pie with foil to prevent out crust from burning. Bake in preheated 450-degree convection oven for 15 minutes. Lower temperature to 325 and bake an additional 60 minutes, or until filling is bubble and crust is golden brown. Bake apples al dente (firm, but not hard). Check doneness by probing apples with a toothpick around the center of pie. Allow to cool, or slice when slightly warm. Serves 10-12.
Second-place winner Ruthie McCulley of Gahanna, Ohio, baked the classic apple pie and shares her recipe here.
Apple Pie (in a 10-inch Emile Henry baking dish)
5 red delicious apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 stick slightly salted butter (4 tablespoons)
Mix apples with sugars, flour, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Put into unbaked pie crush and top apple mixture with small pieces of butter. Roll out remaining pie crust and tear off into small pieces and put all over the tops of the apples. Brush the whole top of the pie with whole milk (using a pastry brush) and spring white sugar all over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Crisco
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
Note: Roll out crust between two sheets of cling wrap instead of using extra flour
Mix flour and salt. Add Crisco and mix with fingers until crumbly. Add milk and vinegar and roll into a ball. Roll out half of the pie crust to fit the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides of the pie plate. The remaining rolled out pie crust will be used to cover the apple mixture. Tear off into small pieces and put all over the top of the apple mixture.
Susan Eyerman of Cleveland, Ohio, snagged the third spot in our contest and shares her recipe here.
Eyerman Family Bakers' Crumb-Topped Apple Pie (in a 10-inch, deep-dish pie plate)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
Note: This is an oil-based, easy crust. Use only as bottom crust; not suitable for a double-crust pie.
Combine flour, sugar, and salt right in the pie plate and mix with a fork until blended. In a cup, combine vegetable oil and milk and beat with a fork until creamy. Pour over the flour mixture all at once. Mix with a fork until flour mixture is moistened. Pat the dough with your fingers distributing dough up the sides of pie plate and then over the bottom. Dough should have the consistency of oily putty and should be easy to spread. Flute edges as desired.
3-4 Macintosh apples
3-4 Granny Smith apples
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
Peel, core, and slice apples thinly into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle sugar mixture and butter pieces over the apples and mix to distribute the two varieties of apples evenly. Pour into prepared crust. Apples can be heaped high, even higher than the pie crust edges.
Crumb Topping
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 stick butter
Mix sugar and flour together with a fork. Cut into butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles medium-fine crumbs. Differed sized crumbs are okay. Sprinkle topping over the apples. This will create a very top heavy-looking pie. Put pie dish on a cookie sheet for better handling.
Bake assembled pie for 10 minutes in a pre-heated 450-degree oven. Lower temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45 additional minutes (or until pie is nicely browned on top and juices start to bubble). Cool until slightly warm or room temperate. This pie is best eaten within two days of baking. Keep is loosely wrapped after cooling in room temperature to keep the topping crisp. Serves 8 or more depending on the size of cut pieces.

All Documents in Oceans Tagged fuel efficiency
- Domestic Oil Drilling
Still Not a Solution to Rising Gas Prices
- More domestic oil drilling will have no effect on the current spike in gasoline prices. It's time to move beyond our dependence on oil and seek alternatives such as clean energy and fuel efficiency.
Documents Tagged fuel efficiency in All Sections
- Big Fuel Savings Available in New Trucks
Strong standards can reduce freight truck fuel consumption by 40 percent
Fact Sheet
- New federal fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, which will be implemented in two phases, can dramatically reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from trucks on the nation's roads. Strong standards can improve our energy security and cut heat-trapping emissions while saving money for truckers and fleets.
- Electric Cars, Hybrids and Other Clean, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
Getting tomorrow's cars on the roads today will create jobs, cut fuel bills and air pollution, and reduce our dependence on oil.
- Focusing on fuel-efficiency and plug-in vehicles will help spur the innovation we need to make cleaner cars and trucks a critical part of a new, clean energy economy.
- High Gas Prices: Supply, Demand and the Oil Industry's Monopoly on Transportation
Efficiency and Better Cars Will Fuel America Faster than Drilling
- With such a meager share of global oil, no amount of domestic drilling will make a dent in our dependence on foreign imports, despite what Big Oil would have us believe. The only way to take back control over our energy future is to move toward more efficient cars and trucks, cleaner fuels, and more transportation options for Americans.

by Belting, Hans
Few paintings inspire the kind of intense study and speculation as the "Garden of Earthly Delights," the luminous triptych by Nertherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch. The painting has been interpreted as a heretical masterpiece, an opulent illustration of the Creation and a premonition of the end of the world. In this new flexi-cover edition of the book, renowned art historian Hans Belting offers a radical reinterpretation of the work, which he sees not as apocalyptic, but utopian, portraying how the world would exist had the Fall not happened. Taking readers through each panel, Belting discusses various schools of thought and explores Bosch's life and times. Enhanced by a fold-out reproduction of the original painting, this fascinating study is an important contribution to the literature and theory surrounding one of the world's most enigmatic artists.

The Deal
- $549 for a seven-night campervan rental with unlimited miles ($998 value)
Jucy Rentals
New Zealand based Jucy Rentals— lauded in Condé Nast Traveler, the L.A Times, and the New York Times — proves the adage that great things come in small packages. Exported to the U.S. in 2012, their cheery green minivans hit the road in disguise, appearing as humble, standard passenger vehicles with some storage on top and great paint jobs. Once stopped, however, they transform into a cozy campervan that sleeps up to four. Pop the container atop the van and pull down the ladder to enter the Penthouse, a roomy pod-tent. Inside the main cabin, the passenger seats morph into a comfortable bed, or make way for the screw-in table stored beneath them. A refrigerator, sink, and two gas cookers fill the trunk, a TV and DVD player folds down from the ceiling, and blinds allow for privacy as passengers weep for joy.
"we have yet to actually use the rental, but so far the staff have been amazing. We are so excited and cant wait to take our Jucy rental and tour the coast line =)"
"Get unlimited miles for a great road trip/vacation"
"If you love camping, juicy is the way to go!!!!"

I'm looking for a Kernel which will run with the Stock Xperia 4.1.2 Rom that also supports overclock, swap, fastcharge and ext4.
Looking for something built on the .96 Kernel.
However, the ones available are for ICS or they are unavaible for download(aka discountinued)
So I was thinking, is it possible to run one of the OpenSEMC kernels on Stock rom? (Assuming they have support for oc,swap,ext4,fastcharge)
Does any of the OpenSEMC kernels support overclock,ext4,swap,fastcharge? (If I were to flash to a 4.2.2 rom)
Or would it be easier to create my own Kernel for the Stock 4.1.2 rom and add these functions myself?

BATON ROUGE, LA. | After Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines turned in their latest memorable performances, the celebratory hollers of the Georgia Bulldogs could be heard through the door to the visitors' locker room at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
The Bulldogs didn't need to beat the Tigers to secure a top-four seed and coveted double-bye in next week's Southeastern Conference tournament, but their motivation was more personal than that, and it showed on Saturday.
NEW ORLEANS — Hello, Trevor. Farewell, AJ.
Trevor Knight's final start as a freshman sent Oklahoma's expectations soaring into 2014 while bringing a sour end to AJ McCarron's otherwise charmed Alabama career.
Knight completed a Sugar Bowl-record 32 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 11 Oklahoma took down the third-ranked Crimson Tide, 45-31 on Thursday night.
"It's huge for our program, to get a win like this after no one gave us a chance all year," Knight said. "We've got to ride this into next year. We can't settle with this. ... We want the big one."
NEW ORLEANS — T.J. Yeldon is a man of many yards and few words, which so far has suited third-ranked Alabama quite well.
After this Thursday night's Sugar Bowl against No. 11 Oklahoma, though, some of the program's leaders, namely quarterback AJ McCarron, will be leaving school. Then Yeldon, whether he wants to or not, is expected to become the face of the Crimson Tide.
BATON ROUGE, La. — Freshman backup quarterback Anthony Jennings leaned into LSU's huddle in the Tigers' end zone and delivered one quick message before calling the first play of a pressure-packed, late-game drive.
"I said, 'Let's go. It's time to go 99 yards,'" Jennings recalled. "There was no doubt in my mind we were going to do that."
Naive? Perhaps. Confident? Certainly — and how prescient.
BATON ROUGE, La. — Les Miles loves calling Death Valley the place opponents' dreams go to die. The same might someday be said about Johnny Manziel's bid for a second Heisman Trophy.
Terrence Magee piled up a career-high 149 yards rushing, LSU's defense pulled the plug on Johnny Football and Texas A&M's video-game offense, and the No. 18 Tigers energized Tiger Stadium with a commanding 34-10 victory over the ninth-ranked Aggies on Saturday.
BATON ROUGE, La. — If Les Miles is worried about how his embattled defense will hold up against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M's relentless, up-tempo offense, he isn't showing it.
The ninth-ranked Aggies' visit to Death Valley on Saturday afternoon will feature two of the top quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference, as well as some of college football's best receivers and running backs — seemingly all the needed ingredients of a high-scoring affair.
LSU's coach, however, said he is "not looking forward to that style of game."
BATON ROUGE, La. — Les Miles figures it's time to start tinkering with his lineups as LSU aims to strike a balance between winning and building for the future.
"First and foremost, it's about victory, and that will not be overlooked," Miles said Monday as the 13th-ranked Tigers, still reeling from an upset loss at Mississippi, began preparations for its homecoming game against Furman this Saturday night.
BATON ROUGE, La. — The depth of Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry's friendship can be seen whenever the LSU receivers eat out together.
Landry playfully pops a straw through the end of its wrapper and ceremoniously extends it to Beckham. It's the same shtick employed by servers at the famous Camellia Grill, where Landry first ate while visiting with Beckham at his family's uptown New Orleans home. Now it's also an inside joke between arguably the best receiving tandem in college football.
METAIRIE, La. — Sean Payton and Drew Brees for years have referred to the Patriots as a model NFL franchise, and one worth emulating.
During the buildup to New Orleans' visit to New England on Sunday, both clubs have showered one another with expressions of mutual respect. The praise appears genuine — there are similarities between the teams that don't seem all that coincidental — and Payton says that Bill Belichick "has been someone certainly that I look up to."
BATON ROUGE, La. — By the time Zach Mettenberger and the LSU Tigers had sealed up their latest victory over Auburn in their Southeastern Conference opener, they were too disappointed over their second-half slippage to celebrate their early dominance.
"Guys just didn't keep their heads in the game," Mettenberger said following Saturday night's 35-21 victory. "We just let off the gas pedal. Hopefully this is a lesson that everybody learned."
