VANCOUVER -- People visiting Lacamas Lake can return to the water, after blue-green algae was determined not to pose a health risk, Clark County officials said Friday.
Swimming, wading and other activities that involve water contact were not recommended over the past week, according to Dr. Alan Melnick of Clark County Public Health. But the advisory was lifted Friday afternoon.
We are pleased to announce that the lake is again safe for swimming and other recreational uses, Melnick said. Conditions could change, however, so we urge people to be observant and avoid any pockets of the lake that might have a scummy texture and a green, bluish, brownish, or reddish-green color.

SEDC and CCDC are worth keeping
Over the last couple of months, the Southeastern Economic Development Corp. and the Centre City Development Corp. have come under significant criticism – and rightfully so.
Among other things, the president of SEDC lavished huge bonuses and other extra compensation on herself and her staff. All told, nearly $900,000 in unauthorized pay was handed out over the last five years. A recently released audit that I ordered found that this practice, done without the knowledge of the SEDC board of directors, constituted fraud. At my urging, the agency's president has since been terminated, and I have asked the district attorney to investigate any criminal wrongdoing.
In June, the president of CCDC stepped down after it was discovered that she failed to disclose a conflict of interest she had regarding a downtown redevelopment project being undertaken by CCDC.
These incidents have certainly tarnished the reputation of both agencies. However, it's important to put these failures in context and fix what's broken without abandoning institutions that have served San Diego taxpayers well in the past.
Through the decades, SEDC and CCDC have racked up quite a list of accomplishments when it comes to revitalizing our older, blighted neighborhoods. These projects have created thousands of jobs, improved the business climate, expanded financial investment, and rehabilitated and increased the housing stock – all while generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue through increased property tax and sales tax proceeds.
Created by then-Mayor Pete Wilson in 1975 to revitalize downtown, CCDC has, among other things, transformed the once-blighted Horton Plaza into one of the most unique retail and entertainment centers in the nation and guided revitalization of the now-vibrant Gaslamp Quarter. More recently, CCDC was a key player in the creation of Petco Park and the more than $4 billion in new development that is either completed, planned or under way surrounding the ballpark.
SEDC has been effective in its own right. Since its inception in 1981, the agency has developed a wide variety of successful projects, including the Gateway Center East Business Park, home to Costco and 26 other businesses; and the Imperial Marketplace, which is anchored by Home Depot.
Given their undeniable success and the important work still before them, it is essential that SEDC and CCDC move quickly to restore the public's trust so they can once again get back to the business of community revitalization.
Not surprisingly, the scandals that have recently beset these agencies have prompted some to question their relevance. While some have suggested they be disbanded, others believe they should be consolidated and placed under the direct authority of the mayor and City Council.
While reassessing the role of these institutions is healthy, it would be a tremendous mistake either to disband SEDC and CCDC, or bring them under the direct control of the city and allow the City Council to make these decisions.
First, those who serve on these boards possess in-depth knowledge and vast experience in real estate. Their expertise has been critical to the nationally recognized success of San Diego's redevelopment efforts.

While Phish and its devoted fan base pioneered distribution on the Internet that now seems revolutionary in an era of downloads, it didn't start that way. When the band started in the early 1980s, the Internet was in its infancy. "Our focus at that point was really to be a live touring band," McConnell explains. "Curiously, it's that business model which is one of the few which works for a band today. If you can play live and support yourself, it's one of the few ways you're going to actually get paid in this business these days."
As the band and its popularity grew, the Internet was also growing exponentially. The band's fans began trading recordings of live performances and formed a community online. "That allowed us to do the things that we did and be pioneering in the digital space that we were with distribution and feeds," McConnell says. "I really have to credit the fans for laying the groundwork for us to be able to make all those things happen."
Even before Phish disbanded after a series of farewell concerts in 2004, McConnell showed his versatility as a musician, leading his own projects like Vida Blue and providing a keyboard constancy for Jack Black's Tenacious D.
McConnell's solo album is a big label release: Sony/BMG-Legacy Recordings. It showcases his personal style with gentle vocals and the kind of original compositions that inhabit a listener's memory. The album is the product of rigorous and solitary work: just Page McConnell, a piano and a tape recorder. But it also echoes with the playlist sounds of Dixieland, bluegrass and rock.

• About a dozen trailer colors to choose from.
• All salons now have smooth exterior and interior walls (no screws).
• Our standard grooming trailer is a "shor-line" design. That means the electricity needed to run some of your items is found by plugging an extension cord into your customer's home. We no longer offer generators for many reasons, and most of our customers prefer this design because it saves several thousand dollars each year in fuel, oil, and maintenance. It is also a "quiet" and "vibration free" design that works well for a mobile grooming business.
• Our bathing center is an exclusive 16-gauge GT design. Fabricating our own pieces allows us to create the design we want, which maximizes every inch in and around the unit for optimal use. We don't buy tubs from other vendors–we build them ourselves. Our dirty towel bin and shelving are designed into the bathing center to make the best use of space and our tub rack is our own stainless steel design as well. The steel we use to build our bathing center is twice as thick as most grooming tubs, is fully welded, and requires no caulk to attract mildew. When shopping, ask who builds their tubs. Ask what gauge it is. Ask if the tub requires caulk for water-tightness!
• The pump and sprayer combination is so strong, it doesn't wash dogs from the top down; it washes from the skin up. When high pressure water is against the pet's skin, dirt and grime is literally lifted out of the coat.
• Electric brakes are installed on every GT.
• Electric fan in ceiling to vent humidity.
• Our side-door is made specifically for GT and is 26" across. It has an upgraded latch and superior hinges. The door is insulated just like the rest of the trailer and is available in any grooming trailer color.
• With the GT grooming trailer, there is no more guessing how much water is in your tank. Our grooming trailers have a window below the tub to show how much water is remaining in your 55-gallon tank. The intake port for your fresh water tank is mounted on the exterior of your trailer. Some conversions require you to fill your tanks by opening the rear doors which can become a real mess if you overflow your tanks when filling, but our design allows you to accomplish your daily routine without ever needing to access the mechanical compartment. When shopping, ask how the tanks are filled and what happens if you overflow them. Ask how you would know what your water level is. Ask if their advertised trailer weight includes the water weight (8 Lbs. per gallon) to make the trailer seem lighter than what your truck would actually be towing.
• GT grooming trailers are built more like commercial kitchens than typical grooming trailers or vans. Only stainless steel offers the durability and cleanliness that mobile grooming demands. As metal fabricators, GT has the ability to offer more custom metal work into each grooming trailer. No other grooming conversion company can match the quality and abundance of professional metal fabrication like GT. When shopping, ask if the tub is "waterproofed" by using silver caulk (which is a way to hide the fact that the steel is too thin to weld for a watertight seal) or if it is fully welded. Ask if their tub rack is plastic or stainless steel. Ask if the mechanical compartment is "framed" with lumber.
• We include plenty of built-in storage for towels, clippers, and everything else you need to run a successful business. When shopping, ask if the storage compartments are made out of wood or any other kind of fiberboard. Ask if it can rot if exposed to water. Look to see if the tool area is on the correct side of the table.
• Highest quality roof-top air conditioner. When shopping, ask if the air conditioner is an "apartment window" air conditioner.
• Every GT has enough shelving over the tub to hold eight full-size gallon bottles of shampoo. There is a toolbox that is removable for easy cleaning or employee rotation, and the upper storage area has lots of room that can be used in many ways.*NOTE*
• Our trailers allow you to easily park, turn, and reverse with no problem. Even a six-foot wide trailer impedes the view from your side mirrors and will not allow you to park your truck close to a curb. After several years of building larger trailers, we have "cracked the code" on how to include so much into a smaller space. The workspace in the GT grooming trailer is the same size as a van and even larger than some trailers that have larger exterior dimensions! We can accomplish this by 1) Building our own equipment cache which saves approximately one foot of length in the front, and 2) being able to push our GT bathing center all the way back towards the rear by utilizing the space under the tub saving an additional one and a half feet of length. Only GT does this because we fabricate our own pieces. If GT were like almost every other trailer converter, we would probably be forced to use a larger trailer as well. Our experience and our expertise are what set us apart.
• GT grooming trailers are built BY groomers FOR groomers. Everything is thought out. Our design is unlike ever other design BECAUSE IT WORKS. Examples: You won't need a "tub ramp" because our hydraulic table lifts the dogs within one foot of the tub. The grooming station is at the right side of the table (not the left, not behind you, or non-existent). The shampoo bottles are where you need them–over the tub (not in a cabinet). These examples are nearly endless, but the point is made.
• We don't install wooden cabinets like most trailer and van conversion companies. Our main conversion items are all fabricated from stainless steel. We don't add any wood, vinyl, or fiberglass in our conversions; only anti-corrosive materials. Mobile groomers need salons that are built to last and only GT includes so much stainless steel. In fact, every decision GT makes is deliberately made to create the most durable, rot-resistant grooming trailers in the industry. When shopping, ask if they order the "shell" of the trailer with cabinets; just like you could. Ask if they purchase their cabinets from a hardware store; just like you could.*NOTE*
• Screwless aluminum interior walls and ceiling.
• 11 lb. propane tank mounted on tongue, and an extra tank to keep at home.
• All floor seams are completely sealed to keep sub floors from rotting. We spray $1,000 of eurethane into each salon–we even waterproof the mechanical compartment. GT goes the extra mile by undercoating the entire trailer as well. When shopping, ask if the trailer is undercoated. Ask if the mechanical compartment is waterproof. Ask specifically what product is used to protect the floor. Ask if hairline cracks will occur where the "tub" or "cabinet" meets the walls.
• Our mechanical compartment is unique to the industry because it is the most efficiently built system in the business. Custom formed water tanks combined with GT metal fabrication allows the mechanical compartment to be about half the size of our competition's–which is one way GT provides so much usable workspace in a smaller trailer! We hard-plumb water lines; we don't use flexi-pipe. When shopping, ask if the trailer is built with easy access to all utilities through the back or similarly convenient area. Also ask if they include a gray tank with the standard price.
• We are now using Groomers Choice grooming tables. They are ideal for mobile applications because they don't swivel and have a very sturdy base. The top is a standard 24″ by 36″.
• Our unique grooming station eliminates one of the most annoying tools in the industry, the grooming arm. Our design has a tether system built into the backsplash behind the hydraulic grooming table. This allows infinite positions for the tether, saves time in having to continuously adjust the arm and is much sturdier. Experienced mobile groomers know how the backsplash can be a very abused area. Debris and hair from blowing off a dog can really grime it up. When shopping, ask if they have a backsplash. Ask if a window is placed behind the table as a backsplash. Ask if equipment cubbies are placed in the "line of fire" from drying a dog.
• Keeping within RV standards, our trailers can be easily repaired by any reputable RV service center in the country. We use only proven plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. For example, our hot water heater is mounted on the side of our trailer because heaters mounted on the front of a trailer (like some cheaper converters) may blow out during travel. Keeping with standards is one way GT builds its trailers to last. We use standard proven rapid recovery propane water heaters, solid plumbing, and protected electrical systems. When shopping, ask if they even have a propane hot water heater. Ask how long their water heating "system" takes to heat the water. Ask if the water heater can "heat the water" while you are driving–so you have a hot tank ready to work for you upon arriving at a customer's home.
• High-velocity dryer.
• Diamond plate front stone guard.
• Insulated walls, doors, and ceiling. The roof is reflective aluminum, which is ideal for summer. One "Achilles heel" for grooming vans is its inability to maintain a comfortable temperature. Trailers are much easier to manage temperature and the insulation we add helps even more. When shopping, ask if having an over-sized trailer is worth having a more difficult time managing temperature.
• Our custom fabricated equipment cache includes a high-velocity dryer, vacuum system, removable toolbox, towel bin, trash receptacle, and a unique shelf that is every mobile groomer's dream. With recessed ports, you clippers and other essential tools are perfectly accessible. With GT, there is no need to purchase additional storage totes and "set them up" before each grooming. We build our cache so all of your essential tools are already right where they should be; at the right hand of the groomer. We even pad the canisters and grooming ledge to protect your equipment. When shopping, ask where you will store all of your tools. Ask if any additional cases should be purchased to protect them. Ask if there is any "set up" before each grooming appointment.
• LED interior and exterior lights.
• Two roof vents and 16′ of LED tube lighting.
• We install a 30-inch horizontal window. Experience has taught us to keep the windows to a minimum. The reason is because either the client or neighborhood children find it irresistible to stand outside the window and watch. An audience slows down the grooming process because the dog does not stand still. Keep in mind that mobile grooming is a business and time is money! We have included fluorescent lighting as well as skylights, which keep the trailer illuminated any time of day or night.
• We upgrade the draw bars (trailer tongue) to 1/4″ thick steel tubes to accommodate any future customization.
• You can literally start grooming the day you receive your trailer! All you need to supply are your personal effects like towels, clippers, loops, cord, etc. If you prefer, GT can supply any grooming items you might need.
NOTE: Every year GT refines its design. The cabinets are now slightly different than what these pictures depict. They are lighter, less bulky, yet still offer ample room for storage and for mounting items.
Salons no longer include radios. In the past, because of the conditions of working grooming salons, we installed under-the-cabinet styled radios. With the popularity of ipods and an infinite number of sound system preferences, we are leaving enough room in the trailer for customers to install their own system. Of course, we make sure that there is an electrical outlet positioned for any device.
"Clipper Vacs" are optional and sold through the Clipper Vac company.

Reload this Page 54 Tennessee State Parks Ride Collab:Standing Stone and Burgess Fal
View Single Post
Joined: Feb 2009
Location: Nashville TN
Oddometer: 274
Here's the way I visualized this weekend: after a long winter, cold and wet spring and limited fun weekend opportunities, this would be a fun weekend for the wife and myself: mild weather, fun destination....
The destination was for Saturday. For every second of every minute of every hour from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday, it rained. So, riding the bike just didn't happen. I probably wouldn't even be talking about it if we had taken the bike.
Still, we went, had a great, if wet, time. So, first the State Parks.
Standing Stone State Park
I was looking for the Standing Stone, but didn't find it. It is a nice park in a scenic area. The amenities are modest, maybe typical. Nice camping and cabins. Remoteness is probably the best feature of the park. A nice destination.
I'm pretty sure this is for marble play:
Of course, I lost mine a long time ago:
Scenic and twisty roads:
But when its been raining a lot; you're going to look at .... water
Wife and water
You get the idea:
Some history that I'm not clear on:
Pleasant and scenic spots;
And just so you are informed:
By the way, visiting the parks, the rain was light and intermittent. A vast improvement over the day before,
Burgess Falls next.
On further Google Mapping:
View Larger Map
It seems I missed some major stuff here...at least some promising looking roads. So, being in the area looking at another park, I did a little refresh. The road Google calls "Beach" is shown as "Beech" on the signs at the park. It is a narrow, twisty piece of tarmac that drops steeply down to the lake shore line opposite of the dam.
Nice shore line with picnic tables and I think you can camp back there. There is a lodge at the end. The road keeps going and eventually turns into a mildly maintained gravel road. After climbing up a steep, heavily rutted, twisty grade, I stopped on level ground to take a picture. It was late and I hadn't planned on exploring forest service roads, so I turned around. Some other time for that.
The climb back out to the main road:
Narrow stuff. Two F150s would be scraping mirrors.

'Thilakar Thidal' in the heart of Thanjavur town has witnessed many public meetings in the past. Election meetings of various parties addressed by top leaders at this ground have always drawn huge crowds. The poll meeting addressed by Bharatiya Janata Party national president Rajnath Singh in support of NDA alliance candidates of Thanjavur, Mayiladuthurai and Nagapattinam constituencies there on Friday afternoon may well go down in history as one of the most poorly attended meetings ever. This was despite the presence of local leaders of the alliance partners on the dais. Even though the BJP had made elaborate arrangements on this sprawling ground, the thin crowd shocked supporters of the constituents of the rainbow alliance. The BJP was actually pressing for Tiruchi constituency, which it had won twice in the past. But this time around, the party had to make a compromise and was given Thanjavur, which is not its base, to accommodate the interests of its allies.

What's so good?
By Hugh McClure | Sep 03, 2012 | Total plays: 54,644
Typically ice-cool in its make-up, "Hypothermia" is much more upbeat than their previous material, with plenty of audible UK-garage similarities. This track also includes the similarly eerie vocals of Sydney beatmaker Guerre, another member of the escalating ranks of Australian electro-schemers.
Collarbones have hit another one out of the park with "Hypothermia," just in time for the lead-up to their album launch on September 28.

I like the sound of this, as my dog has allergies. But I also am on a budget, and the price of this food is way out of my ability. I am sure that my dog would LOVE it if I could buy it though. She won't even eat her dry food without at least some broth on it!

Interesting concept in the face of all the pet food recalls
posted 7 years ago
This is an interesting concept in the face of all the pet food recalls. After the huge recall of so many brands of pet foods I became worried about the quality of any pet foods available. I wonder if this brand obtains its ingredients within the United States (where there are more stringent regulations than overseas).
Pros: Maybe a safer alternative to all the commercial foods
Cons: not sure

Fiscal cliff splits big, small businesses on taxes
Thursday - 12/13/2012, 5:30pm EST
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The "fiscal cliff" debate is splitting the business community over taxes, driving a wedge between two natural Republican allies: the nation's corporate leaders who are helping strengthen President Barack Obama's bargaining position and the small business advocates bristling over the prospect of higher taxes.
Obama has been courting top CEOs, inviting them to the White House for "fiscal cliff" consultations and they have responded by being open to Obama's demand that tax rates go up on household income above $250,000. In turn, Obama has promised to consider changes in the tax code that would lower corporate tax rates.
Most small businesses, however, pay at individual income tax rates and the biggest earners among them would have to pay higher taxes if Obama succeeds in winning an increase in the top two marginal tax rates. They could face even higher tax payments if an overhaul of the tax code does away with business deductions or credits they now claim.
"This sort of laser like focus on corporate-only tax reform that we keep seeing coupled with revenues on the individual side is definitely a concern for us," said Chris Whitcomb, the top tax lawyer at the National Federation of Independent Business.
Leading Republicans have been quick to portray the rift in populist terms, casting Obama as a big business ally and the GOP as champions of small businesses.
For Obama, it is an unlikely role that underscores his own complicated relationship with the business community. Republicans in the past have criticized him for not consulting enough with the private sector.
Early in his term, Obama characterized Wall Street executives and bankers as "fat cats" and he has singled out oil and gas companies for their tax subsidies. But he also has won appreciation for expanding the government rescue of the auto industry and has promoted some tax breaks for small business.
Most recently, 158 CEOs from major corporations, all members of the influential Business Roundtable, signed a letter to Obama and Congress voicing support for tax revenue "whether by increasing rates, eliminating deductions, or some combination thereof." The stance put them at odds with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the Senate's Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, who repeatedly have voiced opposition to raising tax rates.
The CEOs also called for more spending cuts than Obama. But the stance on rates was notable for the number of signatories the letter attracted, including Republican allies like Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman, who endorsed Mitt Romney for president, and Rex Tillerson, Exxon's CEO, and Michael Duke, president and CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The Business Roundtable's president is Michigan's former Republican governor, John Engler.
Coinciding with this week's business support was Obama's new fiscal cliff offer specifying his willingness to make changes in corporate taxes in 2013. But the offer included proposals Obama has been making for some time, including a 28 percent tax rate, down from 35 percent, for most corporations and a goal of 25 percent for manufacturers.
White House aides, however, say Obama will not yield on one key demand from multinational companies: their desire for a system that doesn't tax them in the U.S. for profits earned overseas. It's an idea Obama's own Export Council has endorsed.
But Obama trampled on the proposal during the presidential campaign after Romney embraced it. Obama criticized the idea as a job-killing proposal that would reward companies for taking jobs overseas.
He instead has called for a new minimum tax rate on foreign profits and a foreign tax credit for taxes paid overseas.
Obama addressed that issue privately with Business Roundtable members during a question and answer session with a roomful of CEOs last week
"He raised the issue," Engler said in an interview. "They were pleased, one, that the president sort of recognized the importance of doing corporate tax reform, and that he raised it in the context of economic growth and competitiveness."
Engler described the position as "kind of a hybrid approach."
"People thought that that was a good positive conversation," he said.
But small business advocates argue that large corporations might get the tax changes they want at the expense of small businesses.
"Higher rates and more revenue threatens corporate tax reform," Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement to the AP. "There just isn't enough the president can take out from small businesses and from individuals to get all the revenue he wants."

Tineke Bryson, Staff Writer
If creative nonfiction (CNF) is a real genre, why don't most of us know what it is?
When I tell people that CNF is nonfiction that uses all the tools of fiction—extended metaphor, symbolism, plot structure, etc.—I always feel frustration.
Tineke Bryson, Staff Writer
Today we look at another short form: nonfiction short stories. Tineke, the OYAN team's creative nonfiction enthusiast, shares some tips on writing personal essays, anecdotes, and blog posts.

Kaitlin Wells, a longtime "OYANer," now studying creative writing at Kansas State University, shares why she believes students should join the OYAN community.
Caleb Galloway, Guest Contributor
Writing short stories can be daunting for beginning writers. For a long time I did not even try because I believed failure was inevitable. But once I actually forced myself to give it a go, I realized that it's really a lot less intimidating than it seems!
The title of this post is probably misleading. I don't think any list can be considered essential reading material for the aspiring novelist. But I'm convinced that great writers take the time not only to read great stories, but to study them.
Last week Gabrielle shared reflections on what learning Mandarin Chinese has taught her about language—and by extension, inventing a new language. She continues the mini-series today.
Two years ago I flipped to the blank pages at the back of the One Year Adventure Novel workbook and started sketching out a language. Most of the words were typical first-try fare ending in –ess or –ira or some other stock fantasy suffix. I managed to add only one or two creative elements before realizing that the project was probably doomed.

All Along The Watchtower is the continuation of a column I wrote for several years as the editor of my hometown newspaper.
Back then, All Along the Watchtower focused on local and statewide politics, but it also featured anecdotes about my family, my pets and even my mental illness.
I left the newspaper business to become a strategic communications consultant, but I decided to keep my column alive here.
I have also invited several other writers to be contributors here, just to keep things interesting.

Crystal Baller: iPad Pro gets a stylus and other insane Apple rumors
iPad Pro rumors takeover the rumor mill…
We get slammed 24/7 with new Apple rumors. Some are accurate, most are not. To give you a clue about what's really coming out of Cupertino in the future, we're busting out our rumor debunker each week to blow up the nonsense.
The iPad Pro has seemed like a myth the last two years, but the rumor mill is heating up with new gossip that Apple might add a stylus to its giant tablet. We've also got a new report on the Apple Watch's dismal battery life, plus pictures that appear to be our first look at the 12-inch MacBook Air.
Which rumors are the real deal and who's just pretending? Step up to the crystal ball and find out.
Touch controls on the iPad?
The Rumor:You next iPad could have touchscreen controls on the back.
The Verdict: This doesn't seem like the type of elegant solution Jony Ive would use, so don't count on it. The iPad already has a display that can put a button in any spot you need. Adding dedicated buttons to the back is the opposite direction Apple's design is moving.
Apple Watch doesn't have all-day battery?
The Rumor: Apple Watch will only get 19 hours of battery life.
The Verdict: This sounds about right to us. Some people are already complaining about Mark Gurman's report that Apple Watch's battery won't last all-day. With as many features as Apple's cramming into its first timepiece, we're not shocked the battery is puny. Tim Cook already said you'll have to charge it every day. It's only a first generation device. If it lasts a full 19 hours we'll be pleased.
Next up on Samsung's copy list?
The Rumor: Samsung plans to fix its glitchy fingerprint sensors by copying TouchID.
The Verdict: Definitely happening. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is supposed to be Samsung's most innovative device in years because this time they're not going to just copy Apple. It sounds like they still can't make fingerprint readers easy to use though, so they're copying Touch ID's tap to scan feature.
Who wants a stylus?
The Rumor: The 12-inch iPad Pro will come with a handy dandy stylus.
The Verdict: This rumor is coming straight from the world's most accurate Apple analyst, Ming Chi-Kuo. We have some serious doubts about it's accuracy though. First, we don't even know if the 12-inch iPad is a real product, so adding a stylus onto it seems premature. Every analyst and blogger is busting out the "Steve Jobs said 'if you see a stylus, they blew it,'" quote, but it wouldn't be the first time el Jobso was proven to be fallible.
I still don't think this is going to come true though, unless Apple has some really magical new features embedded in the stylus. Also, has anyone considered the 12-inch iPad Pro and 12-inch MacBook Air might be the same product?
Is this the MacBook STEALTH?
The Rumor: First pictures of the 12-inch MacBook Air have leaked.
The Verdict: We'll give 2/1 odds that these pictures are of the real deal. We already know Apple's supply partner Quanta has specifications for the MacBook Air STEALTH in its inventory, so we're probably just a few months away from the launch. Notice that the keyboard didn't leak though?

Lopsided star and all, we found the perfect spot for a little Christmas tree in the living room. I'm starting to feel festive! We were thrilled when we found a fake tree at Canadian Tire that didn't take on the appearance of tacky twisted-together fuzzy green pipecleaners. This actually looks real! It's complete with pinecones, glittery red berries, brown branches, and fresh-looking new growth. I've never experienced a fake tree before, as my parents always had a real tree. I do miss the smell of pine, but at least we don't have the hassle of messy pine needles, and no worries of teething puppy ingesting any sharp needles. Every spring, our municipality offers free baby trees of many different varieties to plant, and we're considering planting one every year. In 5-6 years, we'll have our own home-grown Christmas trees!
My parents have a wonderful tradition when it comes to tree ornaments. Every ornament on that tree has come in the form of a gift over the years. No two decorations are alike, and each carries with it a memory of the person who gave it and the circumstance around it. Decorating the tree at my parents house was always a grand occasion, and my brothers and I would eagerly await as my mother carefully unwrapped each treasure for us to place on the tree. We took turns placing ornaments, as without this order, there would have been chaos as we'd have been clamoring over each other to place our favourite ornaments. Decorating the tree would occur over the course of an hour. We'd eat candy canes (Steven got the cherry ones because he hated peppermint), christmas cookies (if we had made them), and the adults would drink Grog, a mix of rum, hot water, and rock sugar. We'd play an old cassette by Heintje child-star from 1968 who would sing hauntingly beautiful German Christmas carols. It was a part of my father's Christmases growing up and listening to this music was a small way we could bring Germany to Canada.
I found some of Heintje's music on youtube… boy it brings back memories! I've linked a few of my favourites:
O, Tannenbaum
Oh Du Fröhliche
Kling, Glöckchen kling
Leise rieselt der Schnee
When we were little, my mother had to re-decorate the tree after us kids had left, as we could only reach the lowest branches. Placing the tinsel was also her honour, and the tree would glitter in the wake of the breeze when anyone passed it.
I can see in my mind's eye the ornaments that will go on my parents' tree this year. My favourites were always the ones that you could stick one of the lightbulbs into for an added lighting effect. When I was small, my mother got a bauble with an entire scene inside that was lit up when a light bulb was inserted at the top. That was one of my favourites. More recently, I had a pair of fairies with fibreglass wings that would glow with a light. We also had a series of rockinghorses that took on very realistic equine coat patterns. Sadly, the series was retired, but we had a lot of ponies on our tree! Each year, my mother gives each of us kids this year's edition of our respective series. Some of the ornaments on the tree are home-made as we grew up. There is a pine cone with glitter glued to it that I made in Kindergarden. There are also spray-painted angels that were made from various-shaped noodles. There are glass-beaded snowflakes and angels that I made in the last 10 years. My brothers also have their own home-made ornaments. We even have a 10 year old bubblegum flavoured candy cane that we brought back with us from Florida when we spent Christmas there 11 years ago.
Our tree doesn't have much history yet. We bought a package of baubles from Canadian tire to get us started, and it looks good! So far, we've one gifted ornament on the tree: the Partridge in a Pear tree that Jeff received from me last Christmas. I hope it's a tradition that we'll continue to enjoy for many, many years!

Susan Roces endorses Escudero anew
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The widow of the late actor and one-time presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr. has again endorsed the candidacy of re-electionist Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero.
Actress Susan Roces, who once lashed out at former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for allegedly stealing the presidency "not once, but twice," said Escudero had the qualities of a real life hero just like her late husband.
"[Escudero] is humble and trustworthy," Roces said of her late husband's spokesperson during the 2004 elections.
Escudero has been campaigning alongside fellow Team PNoy candidate and Roces' daughter Grace Poe, the only other senatorial candidate that the actress has endorsed so far.
Roces first endorsed Escudero's national campaign in 2007 "and he didn't disappoint me."
"With his sterling performance, I'm sure the black propaganda against him won't work," she said.
"Like the late FPJ, Chiz is a gentleman. He doesn't speak ill of his detractors. That's how heroes are, they get beaten up in the beginning but in the end, they always emerge victorious," she added.
Roces also cited Escudero's performance in the Senate, particularly in the committee on justice and human rights, which under his chairmanship, passed all bills for the creation of 281 courts nationwide.
"(That is) proof of his dedication to justice and in fighting for the rights of the masses–doing an FPJ in the Senate," Roces said.
Escudero, the chair of the Senate committee on justice, earlier said in a statement that the more than 200 courts created in the last Congress was the most number of new courts ever created by the Senate, "hopefully, ensuring that justice is no longer delayed or denied for our people."
Grace Poe, former chair of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, and Escudero, whose girlfriend is also an actress, have been constant partners in campaign sorties throughout the country.
Grace Poe has also acknowledged Escudero as one of her mentors in politics and has supposedly been a big help in her good showing in the surveys.
The two have consistently placed in the Top Five of the pre-election surveys conducted by polling firms Social Weather Stations and Pulse Asia.

Breast Augmentation Blog from Breast Implants USA
Saline VS Silicone Implants
When you are considering undergoing a breast augmentation, there will be many decisions you will have to make. Aside from the right Plastic Surgeon, the next most important decision you will make will likely be whether to go with saline or silicon implants. Each material has it's own pros and cons to consider and your Plastic Surgeon can be an extremely valuable guide in helping you to determine which would be best for you.
The decision between saline and silicone is a personal one and there is no right or wrong answer. Here at Breast Implants USA we want to help our readers make informed decisions by making reliable information available to them. You can read our comprehensive Saline VS. Silicone, Size and Shape page for all the info you need. Still have questions or are ready to schedule your consultation? We've got that covered too. Ask an expert your question or find and schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon near you.
Breast Implants USA understands that finding the right board certified plastic surgeon can be difficult. Just as we have simplified silicone and saline implant facts, we have made finding a board certified plastic surgeon a process that takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
Breast Reconstruction Surgery – You Have Options
The diagnosis of breast cancer is something that no one hopes to hear, but unfortunately the facts are that 1.3 Million women word wide every year hear that diagnosis. Some women will lose one or both breasts to the disease. While simply surviving cancer is something to celebrate, going on without your breasts can be a tremendous loss. Women who lose one or both breasts have more options today than ever before and while there is no one right answer for everyone, for some women a Breast Augmentation is the best option for breast reconstruction and to help restore confidence.
There are a few different breast reconstruction options for women who've had a mastectomy. The best of these options will be decided upon between you and your Plastic Surgeon depending on your specific situation and the results you wish to achieve. To find a board certified Plastic Surgeon in your area, use our Plastic Surgeon locator.
Breast Reconstruction Through Implants, Latissimus Flap, or TRAM FLAP
There is no way to prepare yourself for the loss of one or both breasts due to cancer or other illness. When a piece of your body is taken from you, it is only natural to go through all stages of grieving. The healing process, both physically and emotionally, follows no set time line and is unique to each patient. Many women find strength in making reconstructive decisions. Today there are many different options available for women following the removal of one or both breasts, and while no one answer is best for all, for some women, a Reconstructive Breast Surgery may be the right option.
Do you have questions about Breast Implants? Ask an expert!
Most Plastic Surgeons work personally with each patient, discussing the pros and cons and how they specifically apply to each individual patient's needs, goals and desires to create the best plan for them. When considering a Breast Reconstructive Surgery, there are three main types of reconstructive procedures you will be presented with. These are: an implant based reconstruction, a Latissimus flap reconstruction, and a TRAM flap reconstruction.
To discuss your options for Breast Reconstruction, contact a board certified plastic surgeon in your area today.
Surgery Day: What to Expect
That day circled in red on your calender has finally come. What can you expect? Hopefully, you will have gone over all of this with your plastic surgeon prior to this day, but let's re-cap the basics of what to expect on Surgery Day.
When get there, they will check you in and get you comfortable. Your Plastic Surgeon is going to mark the decided incision points on your breasts with a marker. You are going to be put under anesthesia, which feels a little like falling asleep. Your breasts will also be numbed locally. Once you are fully under the anesthesia and numbed, your Plastic Surgeon will make the incisions. Then, he will use a cautery device which will open and separate the breast incision and the breast tissue. Your Plastic Surgeon will continue going deeper until they get to the pectoralis muscle where they will create a space for the implant. This space will either be under the breast tissue but above the muscle, or partially or fully under the muscle, depending on what you and your Plastic Surgeon have discussed.
The next step is actually placing the implants. If you decided on saline implants, they will be placed and then filled. If you chose silicone, they will simply be placed. The Plastic Surgeon will make sure they are symmetrical and natural looking and any final adjustments that need to be made will be made to ensure the most positive outcome. Once it all looks good, the Plastic Surgeon will suture the incisions closed. In some cases, a surgical drain may be placed in each breast to help drain fluid, but that's not always necessary. Finally, the breasts will be bandaged and a compression garment is usually given to be worn in the upcoming weeks of recovery which will help to reduce fluid build up, swelling and will support you as you heal.
You will likely wake up in a recovery room, where nurses and your Plastic Surgeon will be checking up on you as you come out of the anesthesia. You will need to have scheduled in advance to have someone pick you up and drive you home as you will still be a little out of it for the rest of the day. In some facilities, they offer recovery suites for people who would prefer to stay there while recovering than at home. If this is a priority for you, you will want to ensure your facility offers this and arrange for this service in advance.
Every procedure and every patient brings unique challenges and no two surgeries are alike. In rare exceptions, you may need to stay overnight. Be sure to discuss every possibility and risk with your Plastic Surgeon ahead of time so that you can know exactly just what you can expect on Surgery Day.
Moving from Saline to Silicone Implants
The numbers are in, between 2007 and 2008 the percentage of women choosing silicone implants over saline implants has increased by 1/3. Full FDA approval was not available for Silicone implants until 2006. The women that underwent breast augmentation pre-FDA approval of Silicone, were left with no choices other than Saline. Luckily, those women aren't stuck and the upgrade is fairly easy.
As noted at americanhealthandbeauty.com, the transition to silicone after having saline is made easier since the pocket for the implant already exists. In most cases, the implant swap can be completed in less than an hour and patients are able to return to work the next day. As with any procedure, individual results vary and consultation with your cosmetic surgeon are necessary to determine the best plan for your implant upgrade.
Saline implants were the only option for women 5 years ago. While some were pleased with their results, others were left with a "rippled" look and dissatisfied with the "water balloon" feel. The Silicone implant gives these women an option of keep their implants but improve the effect. The new Silicone implants are described as being more realistic, feeling more like natural breast tissue.
The concerns of pre-1990 silicone implants was the safety of the implant and the possibility of silicone leaking into the body. The new silicone implants have the consistency of a jelly bean and are much less likely to rupture and were designed not to "leak". The warranty of saline implants should cover the upgrade to the new silicone implants should your old saline implant rupture. Even without the warranty, the cost of the upgrade may be less than you imagine.
If you are unhappy with your saline implants, it may be worth a consultation with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your individual options. Let Breast Implants USA help you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with experience in breast implant upgrades.
Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Women who have lost one or both breasts to cancer have many option today for breast reconstruction. It can be an overwhelming and confusing time and it's important to find a qualified, board certified Plastic Surgeon who has the experience necessary to be able to guide you through your options. There is no one size fits all option in Breast Reconstruction, it about each patient's individual needs and goals. This is something you will need to speak to your Plastic Surgeon about in depth. It can be helpful to view their previous Breast Reconstruction Before and After photos to get an idea of what kind of aesthetic each option offers.
You can find a board certified Plastic Surgeon near you by using our Plastic Surgeon Locator. On our featured Plastic Surgeon's profiles you'll be able to read about their education and philosophy, the procedures they offer, view pictures and more. Find your Plastic Surgeon today.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Do you know what to expect in the days, weeks and months following the procedure? A Breast Augmentation recovery may be different from patient to patient, depending on a number of factors. While your plastic surgeon will do everything to make sure things go smoothly, as with any surgery there is always a risk of complications which may make the recovery period more strenuous and even mean an overnight stay. Generally, however, this is not the issue.
Some patients may prefer, for whatever reason, not to recover at home and for these people, in some facilities, there are special Recovery Suites in which patients can stay in and be attended to. This is not an option in every facility, so be sure to check if the facility you are having your procedure done at offers this and make the arrangements in advance.
It is normal during recovery to have some slight pain, swelling, and bruising. As you recover you will have regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon to make sure that everything is healing as it should. If you are in pain or have bleeding or are unsure if something is normal, contact your doctor immediately. It's always best to air on the side of safety. You're recovery will continue to progress over the following weeks and months and eventually you won't need to wear your compression garment any more and can enjoy your new breasts in full.
What you Can Expect After Your Implant Procedure
Women who are considering breast augmentation often have a number of questions to ask their cosmetic surgeon. The majority of the questions asked prior to surgery involve the best implant options to meet their individual body goals and what to expect during the procedure. There are a number of women who don't think to ask post op questions until they are, well, post op. Breast Implants USA has outlined what can be expected after breast augmentation.
First week after breast implant surgery: In the first couple days following your implant procedure you can expect to experience moderate pain. This pain is generally managed well with medication but many will continue to be sore and uncomfortable. Cold compresses are often recommended in the first 48 hours after surgery. In the first week, your bandages and gauze will be removed and replaced with a supportive bra to help the breasts heal. If at all possible, it is very helpful to have a friend or family member stay with you during the first week.
Second week after breast implant surgery: After the first week of recover, some women are able to return to work. Women who's job involves strenuous activity or heavy lifting should not return to work until their surgeon gives the thumbs up to do so. If you have stitches needing removal, this generally takes place 7 to 10 days after the procedure. At this time your breasts may continue to be sore. Pain should be easily managed with medication.Your implants may appear to be sitting rather high. This is common and over time they will begin to settle.
Week three and beyond: Your breasts will continue to be sensitive weeks after your implant procedure. Some women experience swelling that can last a month or more. Most women are able to resume exercise activity after a month assuming breasts are no longer sensitive and no other complications have arose. As time passes, the implants will begin to settle into their final position. This process may take several weeks.
It is important for women to follow their post op instructions very carefully. Your surgeon knows your medical history and the details of your procedure. Closely following your surgeons post op directions are the best chance at a speedy risk free recovery. If you have any concerns during your recovery, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon. He or she will be happy to answer any questions you have or address any concerns.
Silicone Implants Replacing Saline Implants?
Women are choosing silicone implants over saline implants more and more these days. Full FDA approval was not available for Silicone implants until 2006. The women that underwent breast augmentation pre-FDA approval of Silicone, were left with no choices other than Saline. Luckily, those women aren't stuck and the upgrade is fairly easy. In most cases, the implant swap can be completed in less than an hour and patients are able to return to work the next day.

Breast Implant Options – Understanding Low, Moderate, or High Profile Breast Implants
One of the less talked about breast implant options is the profile. There are three implant profile types: low, moderate and high. The profile of the implant you choose will impact the appearance of your implants. The profile is what determines how far the implant protrudes from your chest wall. Selecting a profile can be complicated as it not only based on your desired look but also the size of your current breasts and your overall body shape. Your board certified plastic surgeon will help you determine which profile is right for you.
Low Profile Implants: Low profile implants project the least amount. Low profile implants are generally considered best for women with wider frames.
Moderate Profile Implants: Moderate profile implants are the standard implant that projects a predetermined amount per measurement of base diameter.
Moderate Plus Profile Implants: Mentor Corp., one of the two companies that manufacture FDA-approved breast implant products, offers the moderate plus profile. The moderate plus profile offers more forward projection than the moderate profile, but less projection than high profile implants.
High Profile Implants: High profile implants offer the most forward projection out of all of the profile types. High profile breast implants are typically recommended to women who have narrow chests. And additional benefit, high profile implants are less prone to visible rippling.
Advances in breast implant products allow plastic surgeons to choose the implant size and projection that will best suit the patient's body type and provide the most natural looking result. If you are interested in breast augmentation, contact a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. They will help you determine which profile is right for you as well as explain the other implant options available.

Monica Hernandez / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS - Downtown New Orleans was packed Sunday with fans in town for one of the most anticipated rematches in college football.
The French Quarter was full of festivities as the countdown to theBCS National Championship continues.
With the sun glinting off its brass instruments, the LSU band rocked the rooftop of Jax Brewery, getting the purple and gold revved up before the Tigers once again take on the Crimson Tide, this time in Tiger territory.
'I hope LSU wins, that way the city will just erupt,' said Clarance Williams of New Orleans.
The area outside Jax Brewery became a sea of purple and gold as hundreds of Tigers cheered the team on at a pep rally Sunday afternoon. Tigers said the turnout melted any doubts about Monday's game.
'I really think now that I'm down in New Orleans and I see how many fans are supporting LSU, I know we're going to take care of business, I have no worry,' said Alison Pourciau, an LSU grad student from Baton Rouge.
And the excitement continued to mount Sunday as fans geared up for the big game.
Of course, Tigers fans gave 'Bama fans their fair share of grief.
Alabama fans second lined down Decatur Street, as LSU fans yelled 'Tiger Bait!'
One group of LSU fans placed a dummy in an Alabama jersey onto a stretcher.
Meanwhile, second cousins Haley LaGrange and Hannah Moore rooted for opposing teams.
'I've been an LSU fan since I was since I was born, and I'm a huge LSU fan,' said LaGrange, 12, of New Orleans.
'We're going to beat ya'll,' she added, looking at her cousin.
'Alabama's going to win,' said Moore, 11, of Diamondhead, MS. 'I love Alabama and I'm pretty sure they will.'
Alabama also had its time to shine Sunday. Thousands of fans turned out for the Crimson Tide's own pep rally at fan fest.
And to top off fan fest, and give LSU and 'Bama fans something they could both cheer for, Cee Lo Green played a free show.
And even though New Orleans is LSU's playground, 'Bama fans agree no city can host a big party like the Big Easy.
'It's amazing, it's amazing, it's an experience that you just can't have anywhere else, so it's pretty neat,' said Kimberly Randolph, an Alabama alum from Pickens County, AL.
'There's nothing like New Orleans,' said John Moore, an Alabama fan from Diamondhead, MS. 'You know you could go to Pasadena like two years ago when we were in the National Championship, the atmosphere's not the same. New Orleans got that special atmosphere.'
Fans say it's an atmosphere that, no matter who you're rooting for, can't be beat.

I wish I would have had my old dryer fixed. The new one does not dry jeans and towels on the heavy duty, high temp setting in 50 minutes. The old one did. The buzzer sound is so low at the highest setting that I can't hear it in the next room. I realize now (too late) that Maytag is not made by the same company as it was when I bought my old one.

Awesome drying capability
By dkmckinl3
from Burlington, Iowa
The large capacity and moisture sensor dry the laundry so quickly and efficiently my wife says that it is AWESOME. She is able to do more loads in less time than our old worn out dryer. It is so quiet it is hard to hear if it is running.
Love the short drying time!!!!
By Terri123
from New Mexico
This dryer is amazing! It used to take me a better part of the day to do laundry, but not any more. This dryer keeps up with my new washer, so no more waiting for the previous load to dry.
This product has so many options I have not had a chance to use all o f them yet.
By okcowgirlride
from Liberal, Ks.
I like the dryer not over drying the clothes, the extra large dryer capacity and how easy to clean the lint trap.
This product has great features

Large capacity, quiet, reliable name to trust, cleaning filter is easy
Easy and efficient
By MrDrysocks
from Eureka, CA
We replaced a VERY old and inefficient dryer with this one, and are quite pleased with it so far. As long as the thickness of clothes is consistent (dry towels with towels, and t-shirts with t-shirts) everything comes out just the right amount of dry. Plus, we love the little tune and tones it plays to indicate settings. There's no way for us to tell how durable it is though, as we have had it less than a year. Let's talk in 2016, and I'll tell you if it's worthy of praise.
The product has a lot of good features.
By Pinky109
from PA
The dryer has a lot of good features however the top of the dryer is slanted and if you put anything on top of it and the dryer is running it all falls to the floor. Poor design feature.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I would like to be able to change times on a few of the settings. Overall, it performs very well and am very pleased with the shortened drying times.
By sweetpurdy
from western pennsylvania
I have had other makes of kitchen and laundry appliances but the Maytag appliances have outlasted all of them. I do my research before buying any appliance and the Maytag brand stands out as one of the best and is always in my price range.
Very nice Machine
By ali28
from Colchester CT
Very nice machine. one Negative -- the lock on the door should be on the side of the door not the top. It's more natural to push the door closed on the side not the top.
This product is great

The features are easy to work and gets my clothes dry quickly. I would recommend this to others.
