I've hooked up my Freeview HD (UK) box and got the preview update/Smartglass. I'm very, very impressed. The ability to be in-game and say "Xbox go to BBC One" and it actually ignore the SD channel and put you straight into the HD channel is simple bliss. Then after finishing that, saying "Xbox, go to Forza Motorsport 5" and it kicks off exactly where you left it is just beautiful.
The ability to browse the TV guide on my phone while the TV is still dedicated to the channel is awesome. Love it.
How did you get the preview? I really really want the one guide to work!

Real People, Real Financial Problems, Real Financial Advice — As Easy As a Taxi Ride
The Principal Helps People Take Action on Their Financial Dreams
September 9, 2013 (Des Moines, Iowa) — College grad with mounting debt? Buying a first dream home? Or worried about the seemingly daunting retirement years? Regardless of the financial need, the Principal Financial Group® is helping people take action to make their financial dreams come to life. Today The Principal® launched a new easy-to-use online resource for consumers, business owners and financial advisors. The Planning Center at principal.com features several engaging, real-life stories (via video clips) of everyday Americans grappling with financial dilemmas and looking for help to reach their financial goals.
"The Principal is helping people take action on their financial dreams by giving them a financial lift - literally," said Larry D. Zimpleman, chairman, president and CEO. "What makes this effort resonate are the powerful stories and solutions to real-life financial concerns with expert, fast, simple help from financial professionals during a short cab ride. The financial 'ah-ha' moments that come to life in the back of a cab are eye-opening."
According to Mary O'Keefe, chief marketing officer at The Principal and key architect of the campaign, the key to making financial headway is helping people take action — save, grow and protect their financial nest-egg. "Our research and experience shows human nature can be a common roadblock to financial success. Consequently, The Principal is changing the conversation. Education and awareness are important. But at the end of the day, not effective without action. The key is helping business owners and consumers get a financial advisor. Then take deliberate, simple, concrete steps toward financial goals, whatever they are."
Action speaks louder than words
A recent study from The Principal[1] indicates that 74 percent of Americans who use a financial professional believe they are making good progress towards their long term financial goals, and 73 percent said they are more financially confident since working with a financial professional. In fact, the study shows American workers who use a financial professional (54 percent) are more likely to say they are extremely happy with their current financial well-being than those who do not use a financial professional (29 percent).
Click, click, click!
The Principal's Planning Center is at the center of the effort — an easy-to-use online center for people, business owners and financial advisors. Several videos feature New Yorkers getting a free financial lift and financial guidance from professional advisors and money maven Jean Chatzky. The site also features calculators, worksheets, financial tips and other tools to help guide people on the path to financial action. The Dreamcatcher, an online social app, also is featured on the site. It helps people visualize, organize and prioritize their financial dreams.
"Whether someone is just starting out in a new job or getting close to retirement years, these financial roadmaps can help guide people to their financial dreams," O'Keefe said. "The Planning Center makes it easy to find a financial professional. People can start putting their financial plans into action and get needed guidance on complex financial issues, regardless of what life has in store. At The Principal, we fervently believe the future people want, is the someday they deserve."
In order to have enough income to support a financially secure retirement, financial professionals believe, on average, clients need to save 17 percent of their annual pay to have enough income during retirement. However, this is subject to clients saving early on in their career. Fifty-five percent of professionals indicate that no more than one-in-four of their clients actually begin saving early enough in their career to achieve the recommended level of retirement savings.
To help clients reach their retirement dreams early, more than half of financial professionals surveyed (56 percent) have begun offering financial education to their clients in the past year. American workers who work with a financial professional are significantly more prepared for a comfortable retirement (61 percent) than workers who do not use a financial professional (29 percent), The Principal Well-Being Index showed.[2]
"By providing more financial education to clients, financial advisors are really helping Americans better understand the importance of saving early, saving enough, and allowing them to think of a comfortable retirement as a realistic dream, " O'Keefe said.

Pizza-style fact: Before the pizza cutter was invented, the people of Sweden used scissors to slice their pizzas. Until the day Scissors were no longer used after the day the pizza scissors were used to cut raisons off trees. Raisons are believed to be a very superstitious fruit in Sweden and are no longer found anywhere in the country.

Contributed by MIT Sloan Senior Lecturer Steve Spear. Spear teaches in Creating High Velocity Organizations and is author of The High Velocity Edge: How Market Leaders Leverage Operational Excellence to Beat the Competition.
Certain organizations "punch above their weight," generating far more value (that accrues to everybody, not just customers or just shareholders, etc.), faster, and more easily. This despite them having access to the same technical, financial, and human resources as all their counterparts--and thereby enjoying the same advantages and suffering the same constraints.1
This becomes a wickedly important differentiator: Either because of having to get more yield out of exactly the same resources available to everyone, or because of having to be on the cutting edge of bringing high value-add products and services to market ahead of rivals.
The difference? They know much better what to do and how to do it, so operate on a frontier of speed, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, safety, security, and so forth others barely perceive. As with all knowledge, the source of their profound knowledge is accelerated learning, and that accelerated learning is the consequence of garnering feedback out of experiences across the spectrum of operational, design, and developmental and using that to feed forward into the next cycle of experiences.

Antarctic glaciers are thinning and slipping ever faster into the sea, according to several new studies. Warmer air and sea temperatures are blamed, and the changes are expected to cause an appreciable rise in sea levels.
Glaciologist Robert Thomas, a NASA contractor in Wallops Island, Virginia, US, led a team that flew over West Antarctica in 2002 and measured the thickness of six glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea with radar. He found the glaciers were thinning at twice the rate they had in the 1990s, when a European satellite measured them.
The glaciers are losing about 250 cubic kilometres of ice to the ocean each year - about 60% more ice than they accumulate from snowfall. That translates to a global sea level rise of 0.2 millimetres a year - equivalent to 10% of the current rising levels.
The glaciers are also accelerating toward the sea. One, the Pine Island Glacier, has sped up by about 25% over the last 30 years.
Warmer waters
The changes are linked to the thinning and weakening of ice shelves that the tongue-shaped glaciers flow into before reaching the sea. These shelves are generally bounded by rock or anchored ice on all sides but the one facing the sea. So when warmer seawater erodes the bottom of these shelves, glaciers ramming into them can break them off more easily.
"It's like pulling a cork out of a tilted bottle - the contents start to spill out," Thomas told New Scientist. The research suggests this can set off a chain reaction of thinning that can spread like a crack for more than 1000 kilometres inland.
"If that deep channel goes far into the interior of the ice sheet, it's a weak link where instabilities can creep back to the heart of the ice sheet and help the ice sheet collapse," Thomas says.
The root cause is more heat getting to the bottom of the ice shelves, says Thomas, who publishes his work in Science (DOI: 10.1126.1099650). "But whether it's the same ocean currents but warmer water, or the same temperature water but the currents have speeded up isn't clear," he adds. Global warming or some natural, unknown cycle may be responsible for the warmer water, he says.
Shelf collapse
Two other studies, published on Wednesday in Geophysical Research Letters (vol 31, L18401 and L18402), describe similar changes in glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula.
There, a 3250-square-kilometre ice shelf called Larsen B collapsed in March 2002 after being weakened by temperatures that rose about five times as fast as the global average over the previous five decades.
Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and colleagues used satellite radar data to reveal increases in the speed of glaciers which run into the ice sheet. Three glaciers showed eightfold increases between 2000 and 2003, with another two glaciers showing a threefold increase. The ice loss amounts to more than 27 cubic kilometres per year.
"The magnitude of the glacier changes illustrates the importance of ice shelves on ice sheet mass balance and contribution to sea level change," write the authors.
A second paper by Ted Scambos of the University of Colorado, Boulder, used another satellite to find that four glaciers were flowing into the collapsed Larsen B ice shelf at rates two to six times faster in 2003 than in 2000. One glacier, called Hektoria, also thinned significantly a year after the collapse - its surface lowered by about 40 metres over six months.

- ENWorld had an excellent interview with Mike Mearls about 5E. Since it fell outside of the WotC site it may have been missed, but if you are at all interested in 5E (or just curious) you can check it out here. Some tidbits...
"For more complex interrupts, like those that require die
rolls or decisions, I'd prefer the interrupt to take away part of your
next turn...In essence, you're taking your action ahead
of time rather than getting two actions during a round."
Interesting idea and one I think will work well.
"When we looked at race, class, theme, and background, we decided to make background 100% focused on exploration and interaction...The key is that classes provide you with all the baseline
combat abilities you need, so if you take a class and a background
you're covered in the three pillars."
Interesting concept. Seems like they are really trying to get away from the combat-centric feel of 4E. Not that I minded the feel of 4E, but I know a lot of other people were lost without the blatant non-combat abilities.
"...I'd love it if you could play the game without them (themes)..."
Good. I was a little worried the the concept of themes were going to become too prevalent. I'm not sure we need mini-classes which is what themes were shaping up to become.
"We decided to remove the henchmen rule from the game for
the time being, primarily because we felt it wasn't something that we
could assume all groups would need in the core. I anticipate it will be a
rules module..."
A little disappointed in this. I think it will be harder to include it in the rules without causing imbalance down the road. This means it will likely be unbalancing or ineffectual.
-Another excellent interview with Mike Mearls can be found at Kobold Quarterly. It was run by Wolfgang Baur, one of the luminaries in the D&D/RPG community. This interview was done with the NDA lifted so Mike was a bit more forthcoming with specifics. And there a lot of interesting things here.
"With D&D Next, the sense of D&D traditions does roll off the page..." Wolfgang Baur
While I am not stuck on the "must feel like 1E or older D&D" it is nice to hear such things from someone not part of WotC.
"...we feel that innovation should start at the edge of the system and work its way to the middle as people accept it...an organic approach like that is better for the game."
Again something I like to hear. Forcing new mechanics for the sake of having new mechanics is detrimental.
"Can you level up in a theme?" Wolfgang
"Yes, as you level up you gain more theme benefits." Mike
Themes again seem to come across as mini-classes. As I already mentioned I am hesitant with this avenue, but maybe it will be cool.
"...given in to the idea that RPGs are this niche thing that few people want
to play. That's crazy. Tons and tons of people want to play RPGs. It's
time we let them!"
Seems like they are trying to make D&D mainstream. The early comments in this section mentioned keeping the rules easy to pick up and play with; read the rules and play in 15 minutes. Make it accessible to everyone, even the non-rpg gamers.
"I found it easy to convert my regular Midgard game to the D&D Next playtest rules..."
Good to know.
-The NDA on the previous batch of playtesters has been lifted for some of them. Here at Gaming Tonic he lets us know what the system was like pre this current iteration. The one that came out yesterday is likely significantly different than the one Gaming Tonic was playtesting. It will be interesting to see how things have changed.

As a big fan of Kits in 2E, I'm actually very enthusiastic about Themes. In fact, having 4 different choices for character creation still keeps things simple and fast while giving characters quite a bit of depth and variety. It looks like it'll let you closely aproximate whatever character concept you had and make it within 30 minutes.

Finally got the playtest today. Not much on themes but the few they show look good.

It is vector. Just because it wasn't made in illustrator doesn't mean it's not a vector file. It was made in Photoshop CS5.1…… Is there a problem with the free file that I provided? If my description says vector in it or if a post is tagged vector, then it's a vector file. The file contains 1 PSD file and a preview jpeg.

There is little doubt that the Boeing 777 is an extraordinary aircraft, at least as extraordinary as the multiple feats it has achieved since it first flew in 1994...and even before!...not for nothing the Boeing 777 was the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely on computer.
United Airlines was the first airline to order the 777, becoming its launch customer on October 14th, 1990.
It would be a few more years until its first flight, which took place in June 12th, 1994.
Boeing delivered the first Boeing 777 to United Airlines on May 15th, 1995 and it flew its first scheduled commercial service with the type on June 7th, 1995 on the London Heathrow to Washington Dulles route.
Previous to entering service, on May 30th, 1995, the Boeing 777 became the first airplane in aviation history to be approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS).
The Boeing 777 has also set a new record for distance traveled nonstop by a commercial airplane: on Nov. 10, 2005, a Boeing 777-200LR left Hong Kong in an eastward direction and 11,664 nautical miles (21,601 kilometers) and 22-hour 42-minutes later landed at London Heathrow Airport, more than halfway across the globe.This achievement was recognized by the U.S. National Aeronautics Association, The Federation Aeronautique Internationale and the Guinness Book of Records.
The Boeing 777 has also achieved comemrcial success, in 2004, 10 years after its first flight, 500 deliveries had been made, which made it the faster-selling twin-aisle commercial airplane in history.
On 2nd March 2012, Boeing delivered its 1000th 777.

Summer's 12 Best Movie Romances
Tuesday, September 10, 2013 | 2 years ago
Summer 2013 was a strong season for that oft-maligned genre, the romantic comedy. Excellent films like The Spectacular Now and Drinking Buddies for the most part avoided rom-com cliches, and reinventions like Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing made timeless story lines seem fresh. Still other on-screen romances were held in unorthodox settings: A horror film (The Conjuring), a martial arts movie (The Grandmaster) and even in an edition of the Fast franchise. Compiled by Alan Scherstuhl and Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice and Amy Nicholson of L.A. Weekly.

Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
A lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, is a procedure to collect cerebrospinal fluid to check for the presence of disease or injury. A spinal needle is inserted, usually between the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae in the lower spine. Once the needle is properly positioned in the subarachnoid space (the space between the spinal cord and its covering, the meninges), pressures can be measured and fluid can be collected for testing.

The Price of a View in Vermont
I'm afraid I looked blank. I was a newcomer to Vermont, and to New England generally.
"That's Mount Monadnock," Dottie explained. Together, we silently contemplated the far-off eminence, I reflecting on its power to add value, Dottie (no doubt) figuring her commission. The next day, my wife and I bought the place, lock, stock, barrel — and Mount Monadnock.
It is one of the oddities of life in our state that for those in its lower-right-hand corner, Vermont's best-loved piece of the landscape isn't Vermont's at all. Mount Monadnock (officially, Grand Monadnock) dwells in New Hampshire, about 30 miles east of my dooryard. Over there, they're proud of their mountain. Of course they are. For its New Hampshire owners, Mount Monadnock is the geographical focal point of the whole southern half of the state. It's also a tourist destination and a prime recreational resource. Monadnock, its promoters tell us, is, after Mount Fuji, the most visited, most hiked-over mountain in the world.
For Vermonters, the mountain's value is comparable but harder to define. Its value is purely emotional. Monadnock may be in our neighbor's domain, but it's in our hearts.
Monadnock is a hard-rock cone with wooded flanks and a bald summit. At 3,165 feet, it's by no means the tallest mountain in these parts; at least three nearby Vermont peaks — Stratton and Glastenbury mountains and Mount Snow — are considerably higher. Monadnock, however, is a solitary mountain, sitting quite by itself on the surrounding landscape. In its isolation, it draws and holds the eye from a distance as the higher mountains do not. They are grand. Monadnock is something better than grand: It is singular.
It's also, somehow, benign. Over here, that lonely mountain, floating on the visible world's farthest edge, is a calm, reassuring presence. It rests and restores the eye. As constant, as permanent, as it is, however, it's also full of pleasing variation. On a clear fall morning, the mountain is a deep royal blue; in a summer haze, it's pale gray; and on a white day in February, it's almost no color at all, a distant, glittering palace of ice.
From our hillside, we could see the upper two-thirds of the mountain. Indifferent to that view as I had been, I soon learned to appreciate it. Monadnock was nearly the only thing about our new home that didn't require large infusions of either labor or cash. The house, a Cape Cod-style farmhouse approaching its 200th birthday, was in a condition not critical but, say, akin to walking wounded. For a couple of years before our arrival, we were told, it had stood empty. We discovered that that was not at all the case. The house had indeed been lived in — by mice, snakes, wasps, bats, squirrels, and also by a larger furbearer that might have been a porcupine, might have been a raccoon.
We swept and scrubbed and painted, and, later and for years to come, we repaired, re-sided, re-silled, re-glazed, re-plastered. We confronted the dilemmas, the painful enigmas, of home improvement. Do you do it yourself, or do you do it right? How come the biggest, most expensive jobs are invariably the ones whose results are the least visible, the least to be enjoyed? How in the world did the builders of the early Federal period manage to produce houses with no right angles in them at all? We shimmed up, shored up, fixed up. We lived and we learned — and always with Monadnock presiding from afar over our education.
Well, time has passed, and after unremitting effort and appalling expense, we have brought matters on this place to a curious pass. We have about stood our little world on its head. The house, which was a ruin, is today quite habitable. The view of Monadnock, however, which was so splendid, is finally no more.
It couldn't have been otherwise. Robert Frost, who in his lifetime made a fair bid to be the Mount Monadnock of American letters, wrote a famous poem that begins, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall." He might have written, "Something there is that doesn't love a view."

The name "Stories to Tell" was created by women currently participating in this women's health research study. The symbol represents what being an African-American woman means to them: Backbone, History, Survivor, Unity, Adaptable, Beautiful, & Inner Peace
Stories to Tell
Etiology of Sexual Risk, Substance Abuse, and Trauma: A Bioecological Systems Model
1. To recruit 375 African American women between the ages of 18 and 45 living in urban housing developments;
2. To assess factors pertaining to the levels of Bioecological Systems Theory (BST; Bronfenbrenner, 1995), as they relate to sexual risk, substance use, and trauma/victimization history, at baseline, and again six- and 12-months after baseline; and
3. To examine the relationship of the above variables to occurrence and severity of, as well as resilience to, sexual risk behavior, substance use, and interpersonal violence, using BST as the guiding framework. The findings will provide important information leading to:
- greater insight into the dynamics and complexity of sexual risk behavior, substance use and trauma history in low income African American women;
- more effective interventions that concurrently attend to multiple risk issues in low income African American women;
- more effective strategies to prevent these issues from occurring; and
- evaluation of the applicability and validity of BST.
Stories to Tell is about African-American women sharing their experiences as they relate to life, health, relationships and many other issues. It is an opportunity to give voice to issues facing African-American women in Milwaukee.
To be eligible, a person in a selected unit must meet the following requirements:
- Female
- African-American
- Between the ages of 18-45
- English speaking
- Able to understand the study questions
- Able to provide information for 3 locators
- A resident of randomly selected units in the HACM developments
Participation is voluntary and confidential. Participants will receive gift cards, bus tickets to and from the Community Research Center, and free snacks and beverages at interview appointments.

The college recommends that all students seek health and accident insurance if they are not adequately covered by a family or work insurance plan. International students who were admitted on an F-1 visa are required to show proof of insurance (that meets SCC standards for use in the United States) prior to registration. While the college does not endorse one insurance plan over another, the college will provide information about student insurance plans through the Enrollment Services Department.
Health insurance is required for anyone competing in intercollegiate athletics or club sports.If students traveling on college-sponsored trips have medical insurance, they must provide the club advisor with a copy of the insurance card, in case of emergency.
See www.stchas.edu/about-scc/board-policies/400/444-InsuranceInformationStudents.html.
It is strongly recommended that all entering freshmen and transfer students be immunized for measles and rubella before they register for classes at SCC. Certain immunizations are required for admission to selected health programs. Details are available from the office for nursing and allied health programs, LU/SCC Center for Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, #1 Academy Place, Suite 102, Dardenne Prairie, Mo. Call 636-922-8280 for details about specific programs.
Meningococcal Disease & Vaccine Information (PDF)
It is the policy of the college to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for dealing with communicable diseases and blood borne pathogens. To provide a safe environment for students, faculty and staff, students with chronic communicable diseases may attend college when, through reasonable accommodation, the risk of transmission of the disease and/or the risk of further injury to the student is sufficiently remote in such setting so as to be outweighed by the detrimental effects resulting from the student's exclusion from the college. View SCC Board policy 400/409-Communicable Diseases.
The college is a drug-free institution and operates within the guidelines set forth in the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. The college prohibits the unlawful manufacture, possession, use or distribution of drugs on campus, college sites, client sites or at any college-sponsored event.
The possession, use or distribution of alcoholic beverages on campus, college sites, client sites, instructional activities and at college-sponsored events is prohibited unless specifically approved by the president. The use of tobacco products is prohibited on all college property and in all college vehicles. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal.

Cooking and Baking
Vegetable Broth
I'm trying to avoid buying vegetable broth, and would love to make some big batches and keep it frozen so I always have some ready for recipes.
The last batch I made was the best so far - I roasted carrots, celery, turnips, and onions, then simmered them in the water. I did deglaze the roasting pan too.
It had tons of flavor, but was too sweet/carroty. I'd like to scale back on the carrot, but what should I add to make up for it? I'd like this broth to be a good replacement for chicken stock in recipes.

During the summer break I wanted to resize my partitions without
reinstalling Linux. What I ended up doing is tar'ing up files and putting
them on a spare partition with lots of room, then fdisk'ing to resize
partitions and then untarring stuff. It's possible to shuffle around
files to get the partition the size you want it to. In your case, you can
copy the tarr'ed up files to your roommate's computer, repartition (except
for / so you can boot) then copy the files back.

"It is our hidden emotions, the emotions we do not feel, that lead to hypertension," writes Samuel J. Mann, M.D., physician/researcher and Associate Professor at the Hypertension Center at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. "Becoming aware of our hidden emotions and dealing with them can enable both physical and emotional healing," he adds.
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, affects 50 million Americans and prompts more doctor visits than any other medical condition. In Healing Hypertension, Mann explains how you can tell if hidden emotions are instrumental in your hypertension (they may not be, if your condition is mainly genetic), and if so, how you can get on the path to healing. Some clues that you may be burdened by hidden emotions include emotional trauma that you think is behind you, a habit of not feeling unwanted emotions, a history of emotional isolation, and childhood abuse or severe family dysfunction. Mann also briefly discusses how hidden emotions can affect other medical conditions such as back pain, headaches, and anxiety disorders. He spends most of the book helping you see that hidden emotions may be affecting your hypertension. The last few chapters address where you can go from there. Numerous case histories personalize the information. --Joan Price
If you are one of the millions of people diagnosed with high blood pressure, this groundbreaking book can change your life. Unique in combining a medical and a psychological approach, Samuel J. Mann, M.D., explains:
Featuring compelling and instructive case histories as well as the latest medical research, Healing Hypertension can help you make sense of your high blood pressure while offering new choices for controlling it.
"In Healing Hypertension, Dr. Samuel Mann pushes the boundaries of medicine by demonstrating the emotional components of hypertension, one of the most serious health problems of our day. Healing Hypertension shows that it is not enough to attend to our physical bodies; we must look to our emotional life as well if we expect to be healthy and whole. This is an immensely important book." -Larry Dossey, M.D., A Author of Healing Words and Reinventing Medicine

Pinellas Park, Florida -- The teenager killed as she tried to catch up to her school bus worried about her safety at the bus stop.
"She would say, 'Something is going to happen. Someone is going to get hurt. Someone is going to die,'" recalled the girl's brother, 16-year-old Juan Hernandez-Huapilla.
Pinellas Park Police say 17-year-old Nora Hernandez-Huapilla was hit by a car as she ran across the crosswalk at 66th Street near 70th Avenue early Friday morning.
It was so dark outside and raining, police say, the driver, who had a green light, never saw her.
"I heard the noise and I could see from the corner of my eye what happened and then I turned around and I saw her papers flying everywhere because she had presents to give her friends. She had her Christmas cards. They were everywhere," said Juan Huapilla as he tried to fight back tears.
He says his sister was running a little behind that morning after dropping off their younger sister at daycare, but Friday was a day of school she refused to miss.
"I remember talking to her that night, she was excited to go to school, to see her friends, give them their Christmas cards," he said.
Nora Huapilla never made it to school. She later died from her injuries at Bayfront Hospital.
While the school district says the bus stop meets safety standards, Nora's friends and their parents disagree.
Read: Pinellas school bus stop problems continue
"It's too dangerous," said student Heather Dillman. She was on the bus when her friend was hit.
Dozens of people gathered at the intersection on Sunday afternoon where Nora took her last steps and demanded the school district move the bus stop through their effort.
"Honk for Change."
Nora's friend and classmate, Danielle Kenneally, says she thought of the idea Friday night.
"We're going to try to get it to where the bus stops are in the neighborhoods instead of major streets," said Keanneally. She said a petition to the district is coming.
"This needs to change," said Juan Huapilla, as he clutched his sister's picture.
The holiday they looked forward spending together will now be spent saying goodbye.
"She was a great person. She wouldn't only care about herself, she would care for her friends, her family. She was a great person," said Juan Huapilla. "She will always be remembered."
The school district is reviewing the case. Several students complained the bus driver would leave them if they were not at the bus stop in time.
The district confirmed Hernandez-Huapilla called in a complaint about the driver. School officials say the driver's supervisor talked to her about the issue.

It was a seemingly rare fuel injected motor with automatic transmission. Feel like the trans really helped the wrong side driving issue. No need to figure out how to shift with my left hand. Great little vehicle and only found out we'd burned some exhaust valves when we went to sell it right before leaving.
In Darwin we had some ears made to direct more airflow into the engine compartment. You can kind of see them here..
... defintely kept the oil temp down, but it was probably too little too late as I think the drive from Adelaide to Darwin is what did the motor in.
I'd love to own one again with a real motor, and better suspension.

CLIMATE change deniers have been deprived of one of their favourite arguments against human-induced global warming.
During the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA), Europe basked in balmy weather, and some claim that whatever natural mechanism caused it is warming the world today. To find out, Valerie Trouet at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research in Birmensdorf and colleagues studied the growth rate of trees in Morocco and a stalagmite in Scotland, both dating back 1000 years, to determine rainfall levels during the MCA.
They found a big difference in rainfall, and hence pressure systems, in each region at this time. This suggests that from 1050 to 1400 the North Atlantic experienced a strongly positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) - the regional climate system that drives winds from the Atlantic over Europe. The more positive the NAO, the more warm air is blown towards the continent. ...

If you missed UFC 154 last night, UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre defeated Carlos Condit in spectacular fashion after weathering a third round storm. Simply, GSP proved once again why he's one of the best and hopefully we'll get to see him take on Anderson Silva soon. If you haven't seen the clips from last night yet, check out it out.

Congratulations on your election to the Order of the Arrow, Scouting's National Honor Society. Your fellow Scouts have recognized you as a leader who is dedicated to cheerful service. You should be proud that you are a candidate for the Order of the Arrow. However, you aren't a member yet. Below is information about how you can become a member in the OA, and what you can expect in the induction process. We look forward to meeting you at the Ordeal weekend of your choice, and after completion welcoming you as a member of Wauna La-Mon'tay, but more importantly the Order of the Arrow!
After being elected or nominated, candidates may participate in a call-out ceremony to recognize those scouts and scouters that were selected before they attend their Ordeal. The call-out ceremony may be performed at summer camp, a camporee, a call-out weekend or at a troop or team meeting. A call-out is simply a public way of showing that you have been elected to the Order of the Arrow. You do not need to go through a Callout to attend an Ordeal.
Your election is simply a starting point, for your journey is just beginning. The next step is to complete an induction ceremony, or Ordeal where you will learn more about brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service. At the end of the Ordeal after learning about yourself and your abilities, you will be a member of the Order of the Arrow.
You should be prepared to spend a night outside on Friday and be ready to spend the day working around camp on Saturday. Please make sure you bring a sleeping bag, a ground tarp, a water bottle, and weather approriate cloths to your Ordeal. You should also bring some work clothes and work gloves for Saturday and a complete class-A uniform which you will wear on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Plan to arrive at the camp dining hall by 7:00 p.m. on Friday night of the ordeal weekend so that we may start promptly. You should bring something for dinner or eat before you arrive. As always dress according to the weather, and remember to bring rain gear becuase we do live in Oregon. Praticpants may be picked up either Saturday night or Sunday morning, just remember to check-out. You must stay until after the Feast on Saturday.

Optical characterization of water masses within the Columbia River plume
Sherry L. Palacios; Tawnya D. Peterson; Raphael M. Kudela(Profiled Author: Tawnya Peterson)
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. 2012;117(11):[C11020].
The Columbia River plume (CRP) is a buoyant plume that influences the Oregon and Washington shelf with the delivery of freshwater, silicic acid, trace metals, and particulate and dissolved organic matter. The highly dynamic plume contains submesoscale features that have an impact on the chemistry, biology, and transport of water and material offshore. Bio-optical classification of the larger plume water mass has confirmed seasonal and annual flow patterns but has not described the internal structure of the plume in a biogeochemically relevant way, as there were no in situ data to validate classification. The Objectives of this study were to define water types statistically within the CRP using in situ measurements of biogeochemically and bio-optically relevant variables, to build a training data set from these water types, and to apply this training data set to 250 m resolution Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua imagery from an oceanographically downwelling and upwelling period to predictively discriminate water masses within the plume. This study's classification technique was effective at predicting water types in the CRP. The three-variable input matrix (temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a fluorescence) performed better than the two-variable input matrix (temperature and salinity) at distinguishing fine-scale structure within the plume at the river mouth. Retentive features such as the plume bulge and eddies were observed at the river mouth and on the Washington shelf. This classification approach was limited to the available continuous variables measured by shipboard, mooring, and satellite sensors. Two new classification Methods are proposed that build on the framework of the classifier described here. © 2012. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

Currently residing in NYC, the Slovenian producer has been lighting up stages and creating a distinct relationship with fans worldwide since his debut performance in 2009. In an era when most musicians and the industry at large were scrambling to maintain a grasp of their old streams of revenue, Gramatik was jumping head first into what he believed would be the future - file sharing. "Freeing music by making music free" has become one of the calling cards of Gramatik's career. In 2010, after releasing five records at a furious pace, Gramatik began posting links to torrents containing his full discography. Fans responded by sharing files and coming to shows by the tens of thousand.
Gramatik has never been afraid to speak openly and honestly to his audience. With his last record #digitalfreedom, he encouraged a new era of copyright law and discourse. In his frequent and usually well received post in social media, he has taken the artist to fan relationship to a very personal level. He frequently speaks about his love of Nikola Tesla and more importantly his reasons for supporting Tesla's legacy and mindful progressive living as a whole. Gramatik's elaborate stage design even mimics multiple Tesla Coils.
For his latest release, The Age of Reason is a benchmark release in the career of Gramatik - the first release on his own label, Lowtemp and a true sonic evolution. It is said that a master learns the rules in order to know how to bend them. With The Age of Reason, Gramatik, shows a musical growth which defies genre and breaks the EDM status quo to achieve an extension of the sound we have come to know as Gramatik.
Nothing has changed with the release of The Age of Reason. Gramatik elaborates on the epic LP title, which was "inspired by a stand-up segment by comedian George Carlin. He made a joke on the fact that he was Catholic until he reached the age of reason. I also firmly believe that there comes a time in a human life when you reach the so-called 'age of reason' and realize that there are so many irrational beliefs, shameless contradictions and illogical restrictions inflicted upon society for various malicious reasons, things that were deliberately designed to keep us in line and prevent us from reaching our full potential as a species. Some people reach it sooner, others later, but a majority unfortunately never do. [Through my music] I'd like to guide more people to reach the age of reason sooner. Maybe. Or, hopefully at least unite the ones that feel the same way."

Just as Christmas shopping begins earlier and earlier each year, so does the holiday season burnout. Hopefully, you haven't reached that point yet.
Makes 3 servings
What you'll need:
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp of Season with Spice's Ceylon cinnamon
1/4 tsp of Season with Spice's Indonesian ground nutmeg
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 vanilla bean (I used 1/2 tsp of Little Pod vanilla paste)
1-2 shots of rum (3-6 tbsp)
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1. In a small pot, heat milk on medium-low (if using vanilla bean, slice it open and scrape seeds into pot, and toss the bean in too). Stir occasionally, until small bubbles appear along the edges, and turn heat off. Should be about 5 minutes.
2. In a metal bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Add a quarter of the heated milk into the bowl, while constantly whisking (to prevent the eggs from cooking). Then repeat with another quarter of the milk. Finally, pour everything in the bowl back into the pot, while continuing to whisk.
4. Turn fire on to low, and with a heat-resistant plastic spatula, stir constantly to prevent the mixture from cooking on the bottom of the pot. Without allowing it to boil, heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (or if you have a cooking thermometer – when it reaches 160F to pasteurize the eggs). Should take about 10 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Layer the bottom of a large bowl with ice cubes, and set a small metal bowl inside. Pour mixture through a strainer into the small, metal bowl. (If using vanilla extract or paste, add it now)
6. Stir mixture occasionally to help cool faster. Once cooled, transfer the mixture into air tight container, and place it in the refrigerator.*
7. While the cooked mixture is cooling in the refrigerator, take out the chilled cream and whip it up until thickened (recipe and tips for sugar-free whipped cream). If you want to make a rum whipped cream, add in a tablespoon of rum and a couple teaspoons of sugar to the cream once it begins to thicken.
8. Place three glasses in the refrigerator, and when cooled, pour eggnog mixture into each glass (about 2/3 full). Add in desired amount of rum and stir well. Then fill each glass up with whipped cream.**
9. Sprinkle cocoa powder, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top, and enjoy your Christmas spirit!
* I usually do not add in the alcohol until its ready to serve, since not everyone wants alcohol in it. Without alcohol mixed in, the eggnog will keep for at least a few days in the refrigerator. If you want to store it longer (up to a week or so), mix in the alcohol before refrigerating.
** Alternatively, you can fold in the whipped cream before pouring the eggnog into the glasses for a creamy blended look.
- You can substitute Ceylon cinnamon with our Indonesia cinnamon, but you may need to cut down the amount to prevent the flavor from overpowering the eggnog.
- I use the ratio of one tablespoon of sugar per egg yolk. Eggnog is so rich that adding lots of sugar is unnecessary.
- If you are in a hurry, and the eggnog will be served warm shortly after preparation, you can combine Steps 1, 2 & 3, by mixing all the ingredients together first before cooking. But please note that by heating cold milk with eggs, there is a higher chance the eggs will curdle, so make sure the fire is on low and whisk constantly. (Also, by not scalding milk first, a thicker skin will form on the eggnog when refrigerated)
