The first thing you'll notice about the Orange County Museum of Art's newest exhibition is the 28-foot-tall sculpture of a black puppy "relieving himself" on the exterior wall of the museum.
The dog lifts its right hind leg up, and yellow paint splotches the side of the building, just where you would expect it to.
"Bad Dog" (2013) is not a joke. Nor is it an insult to the museum. It's a giant sculpture and a painting machine by Los Angeles artist Richard Jackson, who is having his first comprehensive retrospective to date at the Newport Beach museum. "Ain't Painting a Pain," which takes up the entire exhibition space of OCMA, runs through May 5.
Jackson, a descendant of President Andrew Jackson, reveals an irreverent, humorous and occasionally obsessive attitude in most of his works. The Sacramento-born artist, who was trained as an engineer, combines "action" painting with installation and performance on a large scale. His artworks often take up entire rooms, and the OCMA exhibit – curated by museum director Dennis Szakacs – includes 11 room-scale installations from 1970 to 2011.
Jackson is considered one of the more radical U.S. artists of the past 40 years, primarily because of what he does with paint. He flings paint, he shoots it in pellet guns, he shoots it out of model deer rears, he smears it on gallery walls, using the canvas as a brush.
Sometimes Jackson's experiments are a little weird and out there; sometimes, they tread on the territory of brilliance.
Since the 1990s, Jackson has used painting machines, or mechanized contraptions that do the painting for him. The OCMA show opens with one of these machines, "Painting with Two Balls" (1997), in its main hall. The humongous installation consists of a Ford Pinto on its side, metal, wood, canvas and acrylic paint.
Jackson, inspired by Jasper Johns' "Painting with Two Balls" (1960), appears to have installed some kind of mechanism inside or just outside the car that shoots paint in various directions. The Pinto and two large balls made of canvas are the recipients of much of the paint, although one can see splatters of paint on a nearby canvas, on a pair of museum columns and on a rear wall. This is just a taste of what Jackson's been up to lately.
Inside the introductory galleries, Jackson has taken numerous canvases, covered them with acrylic paint, then smeared them on the gallery walls. But there's method to the madness – he rotates them in a circular pattern, so the smears look like rainbows or half-circles.
Jackson relies on the paint to act like an adhesive, leaving the canvases with their faces pressed against the walls. It's an unconventional way of painting, and temporary – these works are taken down and destroyed after the exhibits are over.
Nearby, four neon signs, each with the letters "painting," spell out the title of the exhibition, "Ain't Painting a Pain." Specific letters remain unlit so the viewer can see the show's name illuminated in red, blue, yellow and white light.
More than 100 drawings in adjacent galleries illustrate that Jackson's paintings and installations do not happen by accident. He plans each work meticulously, drawing out the various possible outcomes and charting out measurements in fine detail. Many of these drawings look like blueprints, informed by Jackson's backgrounds in engineering and architecture.
"5050 Stacked Paintings" (1980-2013) is literally that – 5,050 paintings stacked upside down, in piles that range exactly from 1 to 100. The installation takes up more than half a gallery, with drawings and models occupying the remaining space.
Each component is an individual acrylic painting, though the viewer cannot see the work on canvas because the faces are upside down. "5050 Stacked Paintings" is a work of determination, grit and lunacy. It's no wonder that the artist took 33 years to complete it.
A highlight of "Ain't Painting a Pain" is a 20-by-20-foot, room-sized installation titled "Reconstruction of Untitled (Maze for Eugenia Butler Gallery, Los Angeles)" (2013). Jackson has created a passage built of 9-foot wood walls that the viewer can walk through. He has covered the walls (and floor) with colorful acrylic paint, and dragged a wet canvas through the maze to create textures and patterns on the walls.

You might today consider a fresh run to the 7/11, to add to the embarrassing part of the pantry where you already have an emergency Hostess cupcakes and Twinkies stockpile. It seems an especially prudent plan if there's no Kroger Kroger or Wal-Mart in the immediate area.
More than two dozen bidders are vying for bankrupt Hostess. This includes Wal-Mart and Kroger, Bloomberg reports. Some potential acquirers want the whole company. Others are bidding for individual parts.
For Ding Dong lovers, this could prove troubling. If the Hostess brands go to a retailer like Wal-Mart or Kroger, it's pretty safe to assume that the sweets would only be sold there. "Wal-Mart wouldn't be selling Twinkies to Target Target," says Colin McGranahan, a Sanford Bernstein analyst. For sure, running a massive distribution system of perishable goods would be trying. And we already know that Hostess brands carry a rabid following—proof: Twinkies selling for $100 a carton on eBay—so keeping them solely at Wal-Mart or Kroger stores makes sense.
As for the actual production, Wal-Mart, where more than 50% of its business comes in the grocery aisles, would probably use the same roster of companies that make its store-brand products. "Outsourcing to someone else to make this stuff makes sense," McGranahan says. "I would guess Wal-Mart would not be the actual manufacturer. And that sounds like that was the real problem with the business anyways." Kroger already owns production facilities, and the shift there would be fairly easy."
Indeed, production was part of what hobbled Hostess. More specifically, the labor needed to make the goods. A long dispute with unions eventually led to the company's second trip through bankruptcy court in a decade and now, an on-going liquidation of assets. Large debt levels, the result of private equity-led turnaround attempts, also burdened the company.
Unions are something that Wal-Mart has never faced before; Kroger, meanwhile, has one. "Kroger is familiar with unions," says Morningstar Morningstar analyst Michael Keara. "They're the more traditional supermarket guys."
Who else might be in that lengthy list of Hostess suitors? Suntrust speculated that Flowers Food might bid. That Wal-Mart waded in suggests other big-name companies might be sweet on Hostess, too. I speculated that it would make sense for Grupo Bimbo Grupo Bimbo, the world's largest breadmaker, to buy Hostess, after last year's acquisition of Sara Lee Sara Lee; the Hostess CEO then made it a point to publicly refute that. Yet, it might make sense for other food manufacturers like Kellogg or Mondelez International to look closely, too.

SNOW HILL — Greene County Schools lost $50,000 in county money and county employees will pay a great portion of their health care costs in a revised county budget balanced with the help of more than $160,000 in savings and approved by county commissioners last week.
Those revisions, as recommended by Interim County Manager Richard Hicks, included $190,430 in budget cuts, revenue increases totaling $68,886 and expenses increases of $88,188. The total revisions cut an earlier calculated budget shortfall from $331,651 to $160,523.
"At this particular point in time, we're not sure if we're going to get to zero," Hicks said. "We're going to make every effort we can between now and June to get that to zero."
More than six months into the fiscal year, commissioners are working to revamp a budget that drew the attention of the N.C. Department of Treasury because it threatened to draw the county's fund balance — essentially its savings account — way below the recommended 8 percent of annual expenses. Hicks, who did not draft the original budget, has labored for months to find revenue and make cuts that would decrease the budget's reliance on savings.
Hicks said he expects additional cash revenues of about $47,725 that don't currently show up in the budget from Global TransPark loans and a $21,161 refund of gas tax because of an error on the 2012 fuel bill.
"Sometime last January, we failed to file our tax exempt status," he said, "and for the entire year of 2012 we had been paying the state and federal gas tax on our fuels."
Hicks said the refund will be filed, and the filing for 2013 has been handled.
Greene County Schools Superintendent Patrick Miller accepted a $50,000 cut in county money allocated to the school system. In a telephone interview, he expressed concern about cuts continuing in next year's budget.
Miller said the $2.44 million the county appropriated for the school district ranked in the bottom five among 100 counties in 2011.
"We're pretty low, but we've been able to manage," he said, indicating no jobs will be lost due to the cut through this fiscal year. "I haven't asked for a significant increase because I've known it was tough."
The county anticipates saving $40,050 by requiring each employee share the cost of health insurance at $90 a month beginning February. Hicks said the possibility of furloughs needs to be discussed because of the complexity of potential exemptions.
"My recommendation is that we start with that $90-per-month contribution on the health plan," he told the board, "and we continue to review the furlough option and we'll bring you a recommendation" at the Feb. 18 board meeting.
Other cuts were made to the self-funded insurance fund and Lenoir Community College.
Other cost-cutting measures included transferring water and sewer-related expenses currently coming out of the general fund to the Enterprise fund.
The board also approved allowing Hicks to negotiate the renewal contract for cleaning county buildings — courthouse, jail, Board of Elections and probation office — with GCA Services Group at a lower level of service. Hicks said cleaning could be done three, instead of five, days a week.

Baseball Score Early and Holds Off Late Rally to Win Rubber Game at King 4-2
April 7, 2012
Story Courtesy of King Sports Information
BRISTOL, T.N. Pfeiffer University put up three runs as part of a two-out, first inning rally and sustained the lead toward a 4-2 victory in the series finale against the King Tornado on Saturday afternoon. King mounted a rally late backed by a two-run seventh, but went quietly in the final two innings in the loss. Down 3-0 the Tornado put together a two-run seventh inning and had an opportunity to at least tie the game. Tyler Gaby (Bristol, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single into right field to bring up Stephen Mullins (Bluff City, Tenn.). Mullins worked the count full on Pfeiffer starter Jeff Barkley and parked his second home run to deep left field, bringing King within a run of the Falcons.
The Tornado had opportunities to tie the game after Bryant Walker (Knoxville, Tenn.) doubled to the right field corner, but was cut down going to third on a grounder back to the mound. Shane Timberlake reached on the fielders choice and was caught stealing after he over slid second base and was tagged out to end the inning. King put only one runner on base from that point on and grounded into a double play in the eighth to eliminate an imminent threat.
Wesley Houser (Knoxville, Tenn.) battled through a three-run first inning but pitched the next eight inning with near flawlessness. From the second inning on, Houser (5-4) allowed five hits and never more than one in a given inning. Until the ninth, he stranded four base runners and never let one past second base. Between the fifth and eighth innings, the junior retired 11 straight hitters, doing so from the top of the lineup back through to three-spot after the lineup turned over. House struck out four and walked none over his nine innings of work.
Three of Pfeiffers runs came in the first inning when with two outs and one runner on, the 4-5-6 hitters of the Falcon lineup put together three straight base hits. Dalton Lindley painted the third base line with a double that scored one run, followed by Cole McGraws two RBI single up the middle. Their fourth run came unearned when a failed pickoff at first with two outs put McGraw on third where he later scored on a single by Johnny Brown.
Pfeiffer returns to action taking on Armstrong Atlantic on Tuesday at UNC-Pembroke before returning home to face Newberry and Mount Olive.

I have a 33 gallon, 1.7 HP, 5.1 scfm husky air compressor and this Sandblaster worked great with this compressor. I removed rust on my truck in areas where a wire brush would not reach and I was impressed how it cleaned everything. My compressor motor ran 3 times during my use of 5lbs of sand. I used 80 grit sand sold just for sand blasting and had no problems with clogging. I gave four stars due to the price.

I use my sandblaster in and around my yard. This little unit is easily carried, and does a great job in allowing me to work AWAY from my garage. The power, and versatility, lets me use this unit on everything from lawn furniture to rusty automobile parts.

The gun is model 875.167061 I just ordered several. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Craftsman-Parts/Sander-Parts/model-875167061/0247/0743000 It works good for what it is. I put this gun in a HF blast cabinet and it was a noticeable improvement.

I hooked my 50lb sandblaster up and it did not work. So, after some experimentation, here is what I found to make it work very well. On the front of the reservoir tank there is a silver metal nipple connecting the reservoir to the out-going-sand hose. On the side of the nipple is a hole. This hole is very important and what you will use to adjust your compressor. You adjust your sandblaster just like you would adjust the rich/lean setting on a carburetor. The blaster works like this. Compressed air is fed up into the gun. In the gun, there is a chamber. The compressed air shoots through the chamber with a gap between a small metal jet and a larger diameter ceramic nozzle. Because of this gap between the jet and ceramic nozzle, and the size differences in the orifices, a vacuum is created in the chamber. This vacuum creates suction, which pulls sand from the reservoir into the gun chamber, which then mixes with the out-going air stream. Problems? If you feed too much air into the chamber, the air will not be able to exhaust fast enough through the ceramic nozzle and the excess air will be forced up the sand-from-the-reservoir tube, not allowing any sand into the gun chamber to blast with. The way to tell if you are feeding your blaster with too much air, is by the hole on the side of the metal nipple. If air is exhausting out of the side hole, then your air pressure is too high. If your air pressure is neutral, then there will not be any air coming out the side hole in the nipple, or going in. If your air pressure is just right, there will be a vacuum on the hole which tells you the ratio is correct. Put your finger over the nipple side hole to feel the air and adjust your air pressure according. My instruction sheet says the blaster needs 90 lbs of pressure. My blaster will not work @ 90 lbs, but with a consistent pressure of 70 lbs, it works very well. Without a consistent flow, if I just go with the pressure range of the compressor turning on and off, the kick-in pressure and the shut-off pressure present a range too wide for the blaster. I need to hold steady at 70 lbs. I am using 30/60 Black Diamond blasting medium (coal ****) and getting excellent results. Water contamination needs to be avoided. My pressure gauge @ 70 lbs may not be accurate so adjust your pressure by what is happening at the hole in the side of the nipple, and I suspect your blaster will work well. And one more thing, occasionally I would get a little water up in the gun, which would stop the sand flow. So, I took the reviewer ?Oldvolks? suggestion and pulled my ceramic nozzle out so it now protrudes three sixteenths past the end of the gun. This made a big difference in the amount of suction at the side hole in the nipple (and in the gun) which almost eliminated the problem of water plugging up the system. In a half hour of blasting, I had to put the tip of the gun against something and pull the trigger, to back flush the sand tube about three times because of water contamination, but that takes seconds and the entire system now works better than I ever expected. Good luck. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating instead of a five star rating, is because the instruction sheet was grossly inadequate so I had to figure out the above by myself, with the help of other reviews.

I bought this sandblaster, along with approved sand for it called black beauty. I tried to use the blaster with a BRAND NEW 60 gallon air compressor and it did nothing. I used all three tips and still. nothing.. It wouldn't even remove cheap spray paint let alone rust!! Do not waste your money, thinking you're getting a good deal... you are not!

I needed a sandblaster to strip down my wheels. The last time I used one was over twenty years ago and I rented it. After seeing all the positive reviews I was excited so I rushed down to Sears to purchase one because the price was so low! I knew my little noisy air compressor would not be enough so I used my step-dad's giant garage version. The only way it attempts to do anything is by pulling the trigger back and forth repeatedly, until you will need carpal tunnel surgery. If you have a lot of time to waist for very little progress then this is for you. If anyone has some advice about getting this to work better feel free to offer it. Thanks

I just purchase this item. First time use, it did not work. Bought proper sand from local supplier, read all instructions, Spent two hours trying to get to work properly. I have a brand new 80 gallon tank that should be more than enough to power this. It would not spray properly. It was good at blowing air but that's about it. Allen bolt on side of gun cracked housing after tightening for 3rd time, roll pin fell out of trigger and it doesn't blow sand like it should. I even switched to different sized tips, no change in performance. I can't believe craftsman even sells this. It's junk!!!

At every Conference, PHA recognizes the unique contributions of select individuals in the pulmonary hypertension community through the PHA Outstanding Member Awards. Congratulations to the 2014 winners:
Julie Paton Hendry, daughter of PHA founding members Pat and Jerry Paton, was the first full-time, non-patient PHA volunteer. Every two years, she looked forward to the PHA Conference as an opportunity to meet the PH patients and families she talked with by telephone and email. Sadly, Julie passed away in 1998. Her family established the Julie Hendry Memorial Scholarship Award in her memory to help a non-patient volunteer attend Conference. Anaelis Padilla
Anaelis' journey with PH began in 2009 when her friend, PH patient Mineliz Colon, invited her to be a co-leader with the Caparra Wellness Center PH Support Group. Even though Anaelis was not directly affected by PH, joining the support group opened the door for Anaelis to get more involved with the PH community and raise awareness about the disease. Anaelis has participated in health fairs, visited patients in the hospital, and worked on various fundraising campaigns including PuckerUp4PH. Anaelis has also been a driving force in the creation of a third support group in Puerto Rico. While her level of involvement can be time consuming, Anaelis credits the PH community for keeping her focused and motivated: "PH is giving a fight, and we will fight back. For those who have lost the fight while waiting for a cure, I will keep fighting for you."
Mary Felkel
Mary's journey with PH began in May 1990 when her daughter, Sally Maddox, was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Having never heard of the disease, it wasn't until May of 1991 when Sally was being evaluated for transplant that Mary learned about an organization known as UPHAH, now PHA. The two immediately joined and started getting involved in any way they could. Mary routinely helped out at Sally's Support Group until she retired to Florida and has attended every Conference since the first one in Stone Mountain, Ga. In 2004 Sally began raising funds by having the Georgia Fun Walk for a Cure. Mary has participated in all of the walks since then, whether it meant staying by Sally's side in the ICU as the rest of the family hosted the walk or volunteering on-site. In regard to her dedication to the PH community Mary says, "I do what I do not only for my daughter, but also for every other family facing the challenges of PH."

Abby's commitment to PHA and the pulmonary hypertension community spans out over several decades. Abby first became involved in pulmonary hypertension in the early 1990's as the Duke Study Coordinator, helping to forge the establishment of the Duke Pulmonary Hypertension Center.Besides being heavily involved in the PH community, Abby has also been a driving force in several medical membership programs at PHA. Abby served on the original Scientific Leadership Council (SLC) for 10 years and co-founded the Pulmonary Hypertension Professional Network (PHPN) for allied healthcare professionals. Recently she has helped organize and found the Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program intiative and is currently the Co-Chair of the Evaluation and Implementation Task Force piloting the program.

Evan White
When Evan's oldest son Sean was diagnosed with PH she was determined to not only fight back for him, but for others as well. Evan was part of the founding of the Caregiver Advisory Board, has been involved as a PH Caregiver Mentor and has helped guide parents that have had a child diagnosed with PH, encouraging and comforting them along their journey. Evan has made it her mission to learn everything she can about PH and then educate others about it, including local physicians.

Michelle Holden
After being given three-to-five years to live, Michelle immediately turned to PHA for support and guidance. While feeling defeated, Michelle was speaking with a pediatric PH patient who told her not to worry "we will kick this." This gave Michelle the motivation she needed to create super hero capes for not only PH pediatric patients, but also children with cystic fibrosis, because as she puts it, they are the true heroes. In addition, Michelle has trained local fire departments on facilitating better management of PH, sold bracelets to raise funds for PHA and handed out business cards with PH facts printed on them. In an effort to spread awareness far and wide Michelle obtained 59 proclamations for PH Awareness Month across the U.S. Thanks to all her efforts on educating the public about PH, Michelle proclaims "I haven't run into a medical professional who doesn't know what PH is!"

Dr. Chakinala is currently at the Washington University School of Medicine and holds the positions of Associate Professor of Medicine, Director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Center, and Co-Director of the Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Center. He is a member of PHA's Scientific Leadership Council (SLC) which is the guiding body for PHA's clinical, research and medical education activities. He served as chair of the PHA 30-City Medical Education Program Planning Committee and as the 2011 PHA on the Road: PH Patients and Families Education Forum Regional Committee Chair for St. Louis. Most recently, he has spearheaded PHA's Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program initiative and is the Chair of the PHCC Committee. His frequent late nights, intense efforts, and dedicated belief in the PHCC initiative has propelled the program to where it is today.

Tiffany Gunderman
Within months of being diagnosed, Tiffany received a post card informing her of an upcoming PHA Support Group meeting, thus beginning her involvement with both PHA and the PH community. Driven by her desire to connect with others in the PH community, Tiffany started the Long Beach Support Group in California in March 2013. Tiffany's bubbly attitude and encouragement provide continuing hope to patients far and wide, many of which nominated her for Outstanding Support Group Leader. When she's not personally reaching out to community members and encouraging their attendance at support groups or spreading awareness, Tiffany also raises money for PHA, most recently orchestrating a silent auction. Tiffany believes becoming a support group leader and helping others cope was instrumental in changing how she not only deals with, but feels about PH.

Haley Ann LynnDiagnosed in 2010 at only 18 years-old, Haley couldn't quite predict how her life would change. As she saw it, pulmonary hypertension was just a quick little obstacle that needed to be overcome. After realizing that this was no quick obstacle, but a lifetime journey, Haley accepted her PH and took control. After reaching out to PHA, Haley found herself raising awareness, first locally in her classroom and then for all to see online. Haley started the "Phenomenal Haley" blog which follows Haley through every aspect of living with a disease that affects every part of your life, from doctor visits, to getting tattoos, and even fashion choices. Haley is a recipient of a Tom Lantos Innovation in Community Service Award which she used to launch posters and "Just Breathe" Lung T-shirts across the world. She credits PHA for continuing to fuel, and support her goals, as well as every patient, survivor, and supporter. As Haley puts it, this will never be about just existing with a disease; this is about living a PHenomenal life.
Past winners: 2012 - Sean Wyman; 2010 - Lauren Johnson.

Beautiful products
Bride and groom designed their invitations in the damask dream, and was able to use their wedding colors. It turned out beautifully; as was the accompanying items: enclosure card, rsvp card, favor tags, water bottle label; and we used the program card from a coordinating design. Also, the printing options for the return address, and the guest addresses made my life easier. The staff was helpful when we ran into a few design issues, but their response was immediate. Their final review was most helpful in that they found an error! Despite numerous reviews. We were most satisfied and will absolutely recommend Magnet Street!

I have read Family Circle magazine since my mother bought it years ago. I have bought it off the news stand several times and have also ordered subscriptions. I have become very disappointed in this magazine. The articles, recipes, and craft/decorating ideas have been replaced with way too many ads. I feel a magazine should cater to the interests of the consumer, not to the pocketbook of advertisers. I will not order/purchase this magazine again. Sorry, I feel I have lost a good friend.

It a a good Magazine family friendly and nice easy recipes.
overall i think this magazine provides a trememdous amount of insight on a monthly basis. Wish it came out weekly
I got this magazine and thought it would be great. But as i started cooking different things in the magazine, they uhm looked better than they tasted... besides the food, most of the magazine isnt great. not really interesting... its ok if you find it on a great sale, otherwise, not worth the money...
I read every issue then cut out recipes I will use and put into plastic sleeves in notebooks. Many of the articles are very good and some are just dreams for me.
This is my first time to subscribe to this magazine, having always read it at the Dr. office! Even my husband looks for it and reads it pretty much clear through - usually before I do!

Family Circle Magazine Video Review
Hi, I'm Christen from Magazines.com
Chances are, you know a woman who subscribes or has subscribed to Family Circle magazine. This long-time staple has appealed to our grandmothers, mothers, daughters and friends for nearly 80 years.
And it's easy to see why. With advice on topics like cooking, cleaning, decorating, managing money, taking care of the home—and looking good while juggling it all--Family Circle is full of practical advice that can be applied to everyday living.
With growing emphasis on health and healthy eating, the magazine's content has also evolved to include tips on losing weight and recipes that are lower in fat and calories.
Because no one topic is explored in great detail, Family Circle is ideal for professional women who are on the go or busy moms who can only sneak a few moments of "me time" here and there.
Just because your grandmother or mother have been reading this magazine for years, don't think the content is outdated.
A quick read of a few recent issues is evidence that the advice has kept pace with the times with suggestions for must-have apps, bronzer picks and how to nab a workout with your pet.
Even after all these years, Family Circle is still full of topics of interest to women of all ages.
Thanks for checking out my Family Circle video review.

Onions are an excellent addition to many dishes, but cutting them can be frustrating when they make you "cry" all the time.
Does anyone know any tips or tricks to help minimise the tears when chopping onions?
Onions are an excellent addition to many dishes, but cutting them can be frustrating when they make you "cry" all the time.
Does anyone know any tips or tricks to help minimise the tears when chopping onions?
The tearing of the eyes is a result of enzymes that form a sulpherous gas when the onion is cut (concentrated inside the inner core or bulb of the onion) being released into the surrounding air.
You have a few options to avoid this - one would be to not cut through the center of the onion but to extract the "core". This is kind of a pain and means you are discarding a decent chunk of onion, so I don't like it too much.
Another option is to use a fan to blow the gases away from you. A small fan next to you blowing horizontally should do the trick.
You could also wear goggles, although you'd have to leave them on for a while until the gas dissipates from the area.
Another technique is to cut a lemon in half and rub the fresh lemon against both sides of the blade. You'll have to keep "refreshing" the juice coat and your onions will have some lemon juice on them, so this is somewhat limited by that factor.
Here is an article that lists quite a few interesting ways to avoid it. One I think is worth mentioning is to cut the onions under water. I've also read that putting the onions in water for 30 minutes before cutting also helps. Both of these methods would help reduce the compounds that are released when chopping and stop them from going after your eyes :)
Learn to cut onions faster. Seriously. Unless you're working in a restaurant kitchen and will have to chop more than a dozen (or hundred) of onions, you should be able to chop it fast enough and store them or cook them right away. Then take a few steps back until the gas dissipates from the cutting area.
If I have several to do, I peel them all and cut them in half. Then I do all the chopping at once. You don't need to be a knife master. Just good enough and have a good knife.
The best thing to do is very simple: use a very sharp knife and cut them quickly. This causes a minimal amount of the gases in the onions to be released.
As for "tricks", I find that placing a candle by the cutting board to burn off some of the gases released helps for me.
I chop them in half, then run them under the tap, then finish them off.
This seems to get rid of most of the crying-chemical for long enough for me to finish anyway.
If you have a gas hob, light it and cut the onion next to it. I think that the hot air sucks the vapours away.
Stick it in the freezer for half an hour first. I just discovered this by accident (I went to get bacon out of the freezer and absent-mindedly put the onion I was holding in the freezer at the same time!)
I have had some success just keeping the knife wet (though I agree that using a really sharp knife is probably the single most important factor). So just dip the knife in water or run it under a tap after every few cuts.
Keep your face away from the onion. Seriously! If you just move your head so it isn't directly above the onion when you cut it, the gasses that would normally go into your eyes won't and you won't cry.
Cutting them underwater is a little difficult but is the best technique I have tried
As implied in some other answers, you want to cut the onion with as few cuts as possible so you are releasing as little of these gases as possible. You want clean cuts.
As per Alton Brown:
See Good Eats Moment - Cutting an Onion
As per my father (addendum):
I've had success with cutting onions near running water.
Dicing onions is the act that takes the most time and cutting and so it likely to cause the most tearing. Here is my technique, and I can dice literally 15 onions before my eyes start to tear up.
The trick here is to leave the second half cut side down while you work with the first half. It makes all the difference.
Cutting fast with a good sharp knife works well for me. A couple times I tried wearing a swimming mask and a snorkel (I learned that from watching "Diva" all those years ago) and that worked but is overkill most of the time.
My momma taught me this. Hold a slice of bread in your mouth. The bread absorbs the onion gases. Saliva makes the bread soggy, so chopping a lot of onions requires more than one slice of bread. I've never tried it with spongy white bread.
Hold a mouthful of water in your mouth while cutting the onions (don't swallow until you're done). Just try it. I don't know why it works, but I promise it works perfectly.
I'm surprised nobody's suggested this, several generations of my family have used this, I assumed it was a common trick.
I know that this may sound silly, but if you pickup a phosphorus match, and bite the base of it (with little red head sticking outside) while you cut onions, you will not cry.
Try it.
Also, after peeling the onion, give it a little quick pass under tap water, before you start cutting it, it helps with not crying.
Simply breathe only through your nose. Do not talk or open your mouth while chopping. I never cry when chopping onions anymore and haven't in years. I think the bread thing is just a way to keep your mouth closed.
All I do is peal the brown/whatever skin off, and rinse under water for 10 seconds, then cut however I want.
As pointed out already by several others the problem is the "gas" that the onions release. You have to try on one hand to crush as little cells as possible (so you use a very sharp knive) and also to prevent the gas from expanding too quickly so you want cold onions (either you put them in the fridge or you put them in cold water before cutting them).
I'm pretty sure the fan trick by Ryan Elkins must work but unless you are cutting onions for a lunch with 50 people that would be an overkill for me :-D
America's test kitchen did a segment on this where they tested out a number of different methods including the various folk remedies that people claim works. The only method that they found to reliably work was wearing goggles (you can even buy special goggles specifically made for cutting onions). I don't know if they tested the open flame method or not.
Any method that does not physically prevent the gasses released from the onion from entering your eye simply will not work. The crying is the result of irritation from a chemical reaction when the gasses released by a cut onion interact with your tears (I believe the reaction creates small amounts of sulfuric acid, but don't quote me on that). So you either need a physical barrier around your eyes that keeps the gasses out, or some sort of chemical barrier that will react with the gasses before they reach your eye and therefore prevent them from reacting with your tears.
Of the various answers presented here, the only ones that would seem to have any chance of actually being successful are goggles, a fan (that moves the gasses away from you before they get to your eyes), or possibly an open flame. Of those three, the goggles are the only sure-fire way, as the movement of air is difficult to predict and control.
Wet hands works best for me, just rince your hands under a small stream of water without drying them and start choping.
Can't comment directly due to rep limit, but I'm not sure Ryan Elkins above is correct. I'm fairly certain both allinase and LFS are found throughout the layers, though the "core" might contain a higher concentration. Certainly there's no gas contained in the central bulb.
There's a couple of basic strategies for avoiding eye irritation:
Avoid breaking cell walls
The enzymes and amino acids involved in producing the Onion Lachrymatory Factor (seriously!) are normally contained in the cells, and only become a problem when released in volume. Using a sharper knife will avoid mangling cell walls, creating more clean separations between layers, and reducing the amount of enzymes released.
Slow down the reaction
I would guess the activity of both enzymes involved here peaks somewhere around room temperature, or maybe a little higher. You want to get out of this optimum range: either freeze the onion, or heat it beyond denaturation. The former is probably way more practical, since heating to denaturation will leave a soggy mess instead of an onion. You may also be able to deactivate the allinase by substantially altering the pH, for example by coating your knife in lye (not recommended) or lemon juice.
Capture the reaction products
The OLF and the reaction intermediaries look to be fairly water soluble, so cutting under running water should take care of them with sufficient flow rate.
I'm not sure what the mechanism behind the common candle suggestion is, OLF is a thial oxide and not very flammable. My best guess is that the rising air draws some of the irritant up and away from the area, but in that case a fan should work much better.
I man up and just cut it.
Sulfurous gas became sulfuric acid when in contact with water, so with your eyes... simple cut the onion within water and the sulfuric acid will not be volatile, saving your eyes !
Use a gadget that chops it for you.
They can cut it fast and/or keep the gas away from you eg: Tupperware Choppper Gadget
Just chew gum while cutting it.. You will not cry a bit. It's a master secret.. trust me..
Simply put a teaspoon (steel, of course) in your mouth while you cut the onion. Just try it!
couple of minutes in freezer is just enough, fast and easy...

Political Positions
Gay Marriage
On March 27, 2013, Kay Hagan posted a message on Facebook, giving her position on gay marriage, saying, "Marriage equality is a complex issue with strong feelings on both sides, and I have a great deal of respect for varying opinions on the issue. After much thought and prayer, I have come to my own personal conclusion that we shouldn't tell people who they can love or who they can marry."[6]
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Hagan voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89/8 vote on January 1, 2013.[7]
2013 Senate Budget Proposal
On March 23, after an all-night debate that ended just before 5 a.m., by a 50 to 49 vote the Democratically controlled Senate approved its first budget in four years.[8] No Republicans voted for the Senate plan, and four Democrats opposed it. All four are from red states and are up for re-election in 2014.[8] Hagan was one of the four Democrats who voted against the budget proposal.
The approved plan is a $3.7 trillion budget for 2014 and would provide a fast track for passage of tax increases, trim spending modestly and leave the government still deeply in the red for the next decade.[8]
The approval of a budget in the Senate began the process of setting up contentious, and potentially fruitless, negotiations with the Republican-controlled House starting in April to reconcile two vastly different plans for dealing with the nation's economic and budgetary problems.
The House plan brought the government's taxes and spending into balance by 2023 with cuts to domestic spending even below the levels of automatic across-the-board cuts for federal programs, and it ordered up dramatic and controversial changes to Medicare and the tax code.[8]
The Senate plan differed greatly, and included $100 billion in upfront infrastructure spending to bolster the economy and calls for special fast-track rules to overhaul the tax code and raise $975 billion over 10 years in legislation that could not be filibustered. Even with that tax increase and prescribed spending cuts, the plan approved by the Senate would have left the government with a $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and $5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window.[8]
The FiscalTimes compiled a list of the seven most vulnerable Senate seats up for election in 2014. The seven included in the list are: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Going into the 2014 election, all seven seats are held by Democrats.[9]
Democrat Hagan was "swept into office with the aid of presidential turnout in 2008".[9] This time around, there's no presidential race above her on the ballot and turnout is expected to be down this time around.[9] Among the possible Republican candidates are North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis and Reps. Renee Ellmers, Patrick McHenry, Virginia Foxx, and George Holding.[9] Although recent polls show Hagan leading these potential challengers, her middling approval rating and the midterm dynamics make this race a toss-up.[9]
On November 4, 2008, Hagan was elected to the United States Senate. She defeated Elizabeth Dole (R), Christopher Cole (Libertarian), and the write-in candidates.[10]

Congressional Staff Salaries
The website Legistorm compiles staff salary information for members of Congress. Heller paid his congressional staff a total of $2,947,537 in 2011. She ranks 12th on the list of the highest paid Democratic Senatorial Staff Salaries and she ranks 14th overall of the highest paid Senatorial Staff Salaries in 2011. Overall, North Carolina ranks 34th in average salary for senatorial staff. The average U.S. Senate congressional staff was paid $2,529,141.70 in fiscal year 2011.[11]
Net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org - The Center for Responsive Politics, Hagan's net worth as of 2011 was estimated between $2,881,562 to $32,784,978. That averages to $17,833,270, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senators in 2011 of $20,795,450. Her average net worth decreased by 4.89% from 2010.[12]
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org - The Center for Responsive Politics, Hagan's net worth as of 2010 was estimated between $3,139,633 and $34,360,977. That averages to $18,750,305, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senators in 2010 of $19,383,524.[13]

So I have a 100' or so upshot on #13 at Muldraugh and I throw my Ion (putter). It's heading right at it, starting to hyzer in and...
It sticks in the side of the basket for the deuce! First time I've ever had that happen to me in a round!
Helped me get a -10 at Muldraugh. The course is looking really good, nice and cleaned up. Well done, guys. Much better than what I remember it from back in the mid 2000s.

The fact that Greene County is, in effect, thinking about rewarding the City of Centerville by subsidizing the developer of the Dille property in that community is not only an affront to every taxpayer in the county — it is an obscenity.
The Centerville development bailout proposal states that they are requesting $4.1 million dollars, which will be paid out $375k a year for ten years, equaling $3,750,000 from Greene County Sales tax. An addition sweetener of another $412, 943.75 to fund the installation of the waterline for the first phase of the shopping center — that totals $4,162,943.75 or rounded off to $4.16 million. But who's counting?
Originally the needy ones were saying "up to $4.9 million." These are all costs that the shopping center developer should pay. The Greene County public should not pick up this tab. This is not an aid package for the poor.
This shopping center is in the City of Centerville, the same City of Centerville that is one of the wealthiest cities in the entire region and can easily afford to pay this. It begs additional questions. Like why? What is the real reason?
The Mall at Fairfield Commons paid all of its own bills, it did not ask the taxpayers for anything — not a penny! This will have three big box stores with one alone estimated at doing between $100 million to $130 million dollars per year in sales per store location. You read those numbers right.
Interstate 675 and Wilmington Pike, being the most desirable site in two counties, does not lack opportunity with Wal-mart, Target, Home Depot, Office Depot and so much more all close, by why are we so willing to drink the Kool-aid?
The commission was caught trying to sneak this by us and they almost succeeded in doing this.
Why this project? A local lawmaker with a reputation for standing up for what's right regardless of the consequences says dig deeper when looking for answers. If the developer was not able to handle the finances on this then they should not have looked before they leaped. Asking for taxpayer bailout is not a call we need to answer.
This Dille property is actually three parcels of land. There is nothing in stone that it has to be handled by one developer. Each parcel could be handled by separate companies if one can't do it on its own.
The numbers are big – the bailout is outrageous. Centerville has a long history using tax abatement's as an annexation tool. They are using our Greene County tax dollars to help reward property owners who annex and some of our commissioners think about going along with it. I think the commissioners have lost their minds.
Centerville has a 1.75 percent income tax with no tax forgiveness for people who work there and live elsewhere paying a double income tax. Centerville provides few direct services to the residents of Centerville. Fire, parks, water all come from Washington Township or Montgomery County. It has big budget surpluses as it "over taxes" its people in excess to the cost of services. They stand to collect tens of millions on future income taxes from these businesses and employees. It was the reason they annexed in the first place — it was about an income tax grab, nothing else.
Let Centerville, the developer and the stores pay it — but do not make the tax payers of Greene County bail this project out.
If this isn't theft, it should be. The only thing special about this project is the rush of the Greene County Commissioners to spend money they don't have. Dig deeper for the real reasons why this is happening. Keep asking questions.
The lure of the big deal, the adrenalin rush of playing big shot with millionaires has infected their minds and your pocketbook. One who is pushing the hardest is completely inexperienced as an elected official and has not taken the time to learn and is making mistakes on our nickel. They can, if they want, stop this bus and stop this proposal.
If you call to talk to them about this, they will say you don't have the right numbers. That is not true. They are not doing a good job of being good stewards of the public trust. They are wanting to bailout a developer in the City of Centerville.
As it stands now open your wallet — you are about to be robbed at the end of a pen by men in fancy suits. You'll recognize them by their million dollar smiles.
Let it be developed without government interference by our county commissioners. Not a penny. Those who support the bailout to any developer in the City of Centerville are not representing the values of the citizens. They are not the true conservatives they claim to be.
