Michelle Obama: We Stopped Eating Boxed Mac 'n' Cheese 'Because Cheese Dust Is Not Food'
It's hard to believe there was ever a time when Michelle Obama wasn't on a healthy-eating track.
But, prior to entering the White House, she learned on a visit to her daughters' pediatrician that their diets weren't as good has they could be. "I thought we had it all together," says the First Lady, who graces the cover of the Cooking Light's March issue. It's the magazine first non-food cover in its 28 years of publishing.
Less takeout and processed foods, and more healthy home-cooked meals helped the full-time working mom turn it around.
"By the time we went back for the next visit, our pediatrician said, 'What have you done? I haven't seen these [body mass index] numbers change in this way in a while," Mrs. Obama recalls in the magazine's Family Dinner issue.

Now celebrating the fifth anniversary of Let's Move! — Obama's national program to fight childhood obesity — she shares how her own childhood helped shape her views on eating.
"[My mom] was famous for her lemon chicken," Mrs. Obama shares. "And that was a good Sunday dish." The rest of the week consisted of roast beef sandwiches (on Monday and Tuesday), lasagna for weeknight dinners, fish on Fridays, and the "unfortunate liver Wednesdays."
"There was a pattern to what we ate," she says. "There ware familiar flavors … we would sit around the table with the plastic tablecloth, and that's when we would catch up and we'd talk about what we were eating, talk about what was going on in the day."
She now shares the same sentiment with her own family. "[Between 6:30 and 7 p.m.] is the most important time of the day," she says.
One of her biggest food influences: former White House chef Sam Kass. "He was a core of our processed-food elimination," she says. "He said, there's nothing wrong with mac and cheese, but it's got to be real food … cheese dust is not food."

I'm building a NetBeans Platform Application (RCP) and reference a number of external jars including JFreeChart.
NetBeans copies the jars from my library folder (where I store jars for use in all my projects, including non-NetBeans projects) into the NetBeans project folder (release/modules/ext) and the jar is added to version control!!! The jar is then stored in my git repository.
I do not want these external jars stored in my git repository or my project folder. When I build a release, I would like to include them in the release, but until that moment, I only want the jars in my library folder (/Users/username/local/lib) in my case.
How do I make a NetBeans Module reference the external jar in place without copying it into my project?

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Mayor Tom Barrett's sudden concern about a Great Lakes issue
What is going on inside Milwaukee City Hall? It seems Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has suddenly become worried about the fact that Chicago is discharging large amounts of sewer overflow into Lake Michigan.
Last week, Mayor Barrett wrote a letter to U.S. Congressman Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) expressing his concerns about, "the amount of the overflows reported by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago which were estimated at 99 billion gallons" during a strong storm this month. Barrett continues:
"So, in this one September storm alone, Chicago released five times more combined sewage than Milwaukee has released in 14 years. Additionally, Chicago is perhaps the only community that can have overflows that go both east and west into different watersheds (Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River) at the same time. Chicago has dozens of combined sewer overflows every year into the Mississippi basin – the source of drinking water for millions of people. Chicago is also the only city on the Great Lakes that does not disinfect its wastewater."
I commend Mayor Barrett for writing the letter; however, I have two questions for Mayor Barrett:
1) Where have you been?
Chicago's dumping of vast amounts of sewage into Lake Michigan should come as no surprise. Historically, Chicago has more or less been able to do whatever it wants about Lake Michigan, regardless of the circumstances or consequences.
Take, for instance, Chicago's diversion of water from the Great Lakes.
The Illinois-Michigan Canal was opened to shipping traffic in 1848, the same year Wisconsin entered the Union. Every day, 64.6 million gallons of water was diverted from Lake Michigan at Chicago through the Chicago and Illinois Rivers to the Mississippi River.
The Windy City's sewage poured into the Chicago River and then into Lake Michigan, Chicago's drinking water source. As a result, in 1885, over 10 percent of Chicago's population, 90,000 people died from cholera.
Since then, the amount of water in the Chicago diversion has grown substantially, even beyond the limit imposed by a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The Chicago diversion was not only in direct defiance of the high court, but is, today, the largest diversion out of the Great Lakes Basin. The other Great Lakes states voiced concern, leading to a battle in federal court.
Illinois agreed to reduce the outtake of water from Lake Michigan to the amount set by previous court decisions. The other states agreed not to take legal action for previous Illinois violations. What a sweet deal Illinois received. At a time when Wisconsin communities are desperate for water, today, millions of northeast Illinois residents that live outside the Great Lakes Basin have access to Lake Michigan water because of the Chicago diversion.
With that history in mind, I am not surprised at Chicago's recent dumping of sewage into Lake Michigan.
2) If this so concerns you, Mayor Barrett, why didn't you raise these issues during the time you so vigorously lobbied for approval of the Great Lakes Compact?
I thought, listening to officials like Mayor Barrett that the Compact was going to resolve these issues, protect our resource, and prohibit the kind of harmful action Chicago took. Throughout the entire process, I never heard Mayor Barrett voice any objections about the questionable Chicago sweet diversion deal or the city's dumping of sewage into Lake Michigan.
During the lengthy deliberations about the Great Lakes Compact, I made it clear that despite my reservations, I supported an effective document that was good for the Great Lakes, the state of Wisconsin, and would preserve our greatest natural resource.
Time and time again, I heard Compact proponents make the case that the Compact would address the water needs of New Berlin. The conventional wisdom was that the Compact needed to be approved quickly, and if it was, New Berlin's water woes would be taken care of. Making those arguments were city of Milwaukee officials from Mayor Tom Barrett on down. They claimed the city of Milwaukee would no longer have issues with New Berlin getting water if Wisconsin would simply okay the Compact. City of Milwaukee officials even threatened to withhold the sale of water to New Berlin until the Compact was approved by the Legislature.
What happened? Wisconsin approved the Compact, but for the city of Milwaukee, on this critical public health issue, it remained business as usual, as it imposed a hefty price tag for a community in desperate need of water. For the city of Milwaukee, it was never about the Compact. It was and remains a question of money and control over a suburb to the west.
It appears Tom Barrett, who argued long and hard that the Compact needed to be approved as quickly as possible, and even used precious water as a negotiating chip, believes Congress needs to be aware of a serious problem in the Great Lakes Basin. Maybe Mayor Barrett should have thought about that before his rush to judgment.
Congratulations Muskego carp shooters!
Congratulations to the Little Muskego Lake Association (LMLA) on having a very successful carp shoot on September 20, 2008. Approximately 100 fish were removed from Little Muskego Lake. When the carp shoots from the spring are factored in, a total of approximately 630 carp were removed from Little Muskego Lake during 2008. Carp shoots provide great environmental benefits, including making the water clearer and improving the populations of other fish.
Ridding our waters of carp is critical. During the early 1900's, biologists discovered carp were filling waterways to the point of crowding out other more prized game fish. Carp are known as bottom feeders. They literally suck up mud and spit it out before selecting their food from the water. The carp cause sediment to stir up resulting in poor water conditions and feeding problems for desirable fish.
Carp eggs stick like heavy-duty industrial strength glue so it can get quite messy. Carp shooters are a special breed of people, willing to get down and dirty to help the environment.
The carp shoot was truly a team effort. Organizers made perfect plans. Crews removed floating weeds on the lake. Police patrolled in two shifts. The event went off without complaints or problems as all riparians gave their full cooperation and support. Videographers captured the carp shoot for broadcast on Madison's Fox Channel affiliate in October.
Little Muskego Lake got a big boost in quality thanks to everyone who played a part in this successful event. Congratulations carp shooters for your contribution to our environment and quality of life!
Slowing down on roundabouts
The state of Wisconsin seems to be on a roundabout binge. The philosophy of the state Department of Transportation (DOT) is that whenever major intersection improvements on state roads or four-way stops are planned, the installation of roundabouts must be considered. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on August 24, 2008 that statewide, there are 58 roundabouts open on state and local roads, seven to 10 more are scheduled to open by the end of the construction season, and 140 or more are in various planning stages.
Before the state proceeds with its plan to blanket roadways with roundabouts, it should slow down and I have made that request to the DOT. I have also asked the DOT to rethink the roundabout at Racine Avenue and I-43 in Muskego because of concerns with the roundabout at I-43 and Moorland Road in New Berlin.
The design at the New Berlin roundabout left much to be desired with poor signage and lane markings. There have been a number of accidents at the roundabout, not to mention a high level of anxiety and frustration. There are also complaints about the roundabout on Drexel Avenue in Franklin near Highway 100 and the new Shoppes at Wyndham Village.
Some of my constituents that have corresponded with me about roundabouts have been receptive to the roundabout concept. They agree with the DOT that roundabouts improve safety and reduce crashes. The DOT contends, "Roundabouts move traffic safely through an intersection because of slower speeds, fewer conflict points, and decision-making. Studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show that roundabouts provide a 90% reduction in fatal crashes, 76% reduction in injury crashes, 30-40% reduction in pedestrian crashes, and a 10% reduction in bicycle crashes."
However, constituents I have heard from angrily oppose roundabouts. I am very concerned about the danger posed by roundabouts resulting in accidents. There are other concerns including poor signage and lane markings that I have already indicated. What about semi-trailer trucks? The configuration of roundabouts makes it extremely difficult for semi-trailers, long trucks, campers, and cars with boats to successfully negotiate the turns.
Proponents at the DOT suggest frustrated motorists, in time, and with more education will learn to accept roundabouts. How does DOT adequately train the masses, the vast number of motorists on our roadways? Most of them will never get their hands on a DOT brochure or see a roundabout video on the DOT website.
That is why I suggest the state put the brakes on roundabouts until the kinks can be worked out. The idea is to improve all aspects of roundabouts: design, safety, ease of use. The DOT should bring together special study groups of designers, engineers, and importantly motorists to determine the best model for roundabouts. I have asked the DOT to conduct simulations with a cross-section of Wisconsin drivers and cross-section of vehicles before proceeding further with roundabouts.
Until then, the state should put away the plans to build more and more because the current roundabout design at I-43 and Moorland Road is not ready for prime time.
Major Election Day problems ahead
On February 4, 2008, I agreed with pessimistic forecast that there would be major problems with our elections this year. My blog quoted Dr. Robert A. Pastor, director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University in Washington, DC:
"Voters are likely to face hassles with registration lists and voting machines. Poll workers will remain under-trained and overworked. Election management remains under the thumb of partisan officials, and voter identification is likely to remain problematic. 2008 is unlikely to be an improvement over 2006."
You can read my entire blog here.
Seven months later, the Washington Post concurs, reporting that, "election officials across the country are bracing for long lines, equipment failures and confusion over polling procedures that could cost thousands the chance to cast a ballot."
The tragedy is that Wisconsin does not require photo ID's to vote. Governor Doyle and state Senate Democrats killed any chance of a photo ID requirement being in place for the critical November elections when the governor vetoed photo ID legislation three times and Senate Democrats refused to allow a vote on a photo ID constitutional amendment. A common sense photo ID requirement would not be an obstacle to voting or hamper the process. Such a law would be a great step in cleaning up an election system in disrepair.
Photo ID opponents in Wisconsin, albeit a minority, got their wish. Even so, it appears there are going to be many problems on Election Day, here and across the country.

Manchester United produced an electrifying display to beat Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday and move to the brink of a record 19th title.
United burst out of the blocks to score after just 37 seconds when Javier Hernandez swept in a delightful Park Ji-sung pass and the hosts doubled their lead after 23 minutes when captain Nemanja Vidic headed in a perfect cross from Ryan Giggs.
A Frank Lampard tap-in after 69 minutes gave Chelsea hope but United deservedly held on and need just one point from their final two games against struggling Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool to secure the title.
A packed Old Trafford crowd rose to their feet before the final whistle to celebrate and United manager Alex Ferguson bowed to them as they chanted "Glory, glory, Man United" after one of their team's most dazzling performances of the season.
With the first move of the game, Giggs put Park through and the South Korean sent an exquisite pass that goal poacher-in-chief Hernandez slotted past Petr Cech to set the tone of the game.
Wayne Rooney unleashed a couple of long-range efforts that Cech was forced to save in an unrelenting United opening period of pressure before Park's scorching shot was parried behind for the corner that led to the second goal.
Giggs sent the corner short and quickly received it back to lift in a cross for Vidic to head home and give Chelsea a huge mountain to climb.
The London side, having climbed several big peaks to get back into the title race after a mid-season slump that put them 15 points behind the leaders, tried to fight back with chances for Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba.
Lampard's scrappy goal mirrored much of Chelsea's play, as he stuck a foot out to push in a Branislav Ivanovic flick .
The champions simply could not match the pace of winger Antonio Valencia, who regularly outwitted Chelsea left back Ashley Cole, or the fluid combinations between Park, Rooney and Hernandez.
Chelsea were lucky to avoid conceding a penalty when Lampard handled in the area and they could not raise their game enough as Ferguson edged closer to a 12th Premier League title.
Rooney continued to pepper the Chelsea goal with shots as United reverted to the high tempo of the first half for the final 15 minutes of the game, while Ancelotti watched helplessly on touchline with his hand in his pocket.
Arsenal's last lingering mathematical chances of winning the Premier League title were finally extinguished on Sunday when they lost 3-1 at Stoke City.
Goals from Kenwyne Jones, former Gunner Jermaine Pennant and Jon Walters condemmed Arsenal to a sixth season without a trophy while buoyant Stoke head for the FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium next Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers improved their chances of staying in the Premier League when they beat local rivals West Bromwich Albion 3-1 in a keenly fought derby to pull out of the relegation zone.
Wolves capitalised on poor defending by their neighbours to score twice in 13 first-half minutes through Stephen Fletcher and Adlene Guedioura before Fletcher added a third goal after another defensive mistake by Abdoulaye Meite two minutes after half-time.
West Brom, who have climbed to safety after a run of good results since Roy Hodgson took over as coach in February, replied when Peter Odemwingie scored for the fifth successive league match with a 55th-minute penalty after Guedioura tripped Jerome Thomas in the box.
Although they are still not safe with two games to play, Wolves are now 17th with 37 points, with Blackpool dropping into the bottom three on 36. Wigan Athletic are 19th on 36 and West Ham United bottom with 33.

County groups might be able to get more money in the future to cut down trees that could cause hazards during wildfires, if Congress passes a bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis.
The pot of federal money set aside for natural disasters already can be used to mitigate potential future flood issues, or to clean up areas hit by tornadoes and hurricanes. The bipartisan Wildfire Prevention Act of 2015 was approved in committee, and is expected to be heard by Congress soon, said Kristin Lynch, a Polis spokeswoman.

Sheriff's deputies helped four lost and chilly hikers make their way back to a trailhead at Elk Meadow Open Space on Sunday night.
The hikers got turned around, felt they weren't ready for the snow and cold as it started to get dark, and called for help, said Jeffco sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley. As night fell, deputies found the hikers and "walked them out" to a trailhead, Kelley said.
"They didn't feel like they were dressed for the conditions," Kelley said.
Saturday's Mountain Area Earth Day Fair was canceled because of weather conditions and the detour on Highway 74.
Meanwhile, a portion of Highway 74 between Upper Bear Creek Road and Highway 73 remains closed because of unstable road conditions in that area.

An explosion blew out a wall and sparked a blaze at Munro & Associates, 1749 Northwood Drive, near Maple and Crooks, at 9:30 p.m. Oct. 24.
No one was in the building at the time of the explosion, said Dave Roberts, Troy assistant fire chief, in a prepared statement. He could not be reached for further comment. According to the company's website, Munro & Associates is a consulting engineering firm specializing in design and manufacturing methods, and its customers include Chrysler, General Dynamics, Roll Royce, Nikon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Rubbermaid.
According to the release, multiple alarms in the building dispatched firefighters, who discovered the explosion had blown out part of a wall in the large industrial facility. They found heavy smoke inside.
The building's sprinkler system activated, which contained the majority of the fire, Roberts said.
Firefighters extinguished the remaining fire, ensured it was out, shut down the sprinkler system and ventilated smoke from the building.
Firefighters were on the scene for about two hours, according to reports. The damage was confined to the rear warehouse portion of the building, and none of the businesses nearby sustained damage from the incident.
Employees were back in the building Oct. 25.
Police and fire officials continue to investigate to determine the cause of the fire, Roberts said.

Missing Jet: Black Box Feared DeadBy: Amanda Crum - April 13, 2014
Missing flight 370 has been at the center of an enormous search since March 8, when it disappeared from radar and broke communication with the ground during a trip from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board. Last week, searchers were optimistic after discovering several pings that were consistent with black box signals deep in the Indian Ocean, but no new sounds have been heard since Tuesday, and now it's feared that the batteries in the black box have died.
"We're now into Day 37 of this tragedy," said expert on aviation Geoffrey Thomas. "The battery life on the beacons is supposed to last 30 days. We're hoping it might last 40 days. However, it's been four or five days since the last strong pings. What they're hoping for is to get one more, maybe two more pings so they can do a triangulation of the sounds and try and narrow the (search) area."
Though the search had been narrowed down significantly due to the signals–about five were captured using high-tech listening devices–the area was still quite large, about the size of Los Angeles, and extremely deep. Searchers were given a boost of confidence after detecting the signals, but stressed to the media that there was still a lot to do.
"I'm now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future – but we haven't found it yet, because this is a very challenging business," search leader Angus Houston said. "I think that we're looking in the right area, but I'm not prepared to say – to confirm – anything until such time as somebody lays eyes on the wreckage."
Officials say that when they're sure the signals are finished, they'll send down a Bluefin 21 submersible to explore at depths of 15,000 feet, which is where the signals came from.
The Washington Post published a very informative infographic showing just how deep the plane may be here.

A Palestinian gunman shot an elderly man in the legs near the Samarian town of Kedumim Monday, moderately wounding him.
Magen David Adom (Israel's national rescue service) paramedics treated him at the scene before evacuating him to a hospital in Petah Tikva.
Israel Defense Forces troops set up roadblocks as they began canvassing the area for the perpetrators, who shot him from a vehicle.
Since the beginning of the year, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has seen a significant increase in acts of terror in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem -- especially rock attacks, firebombs, knifings and drive-by shootings.
Last Thursday, a rock attack near the city of Ariel caused a major car accident that left a 3-year-old toddler fighting for her life. She remains hospitalized in critical condition, with doctors still fighting to save her.
On the same day, a couple and their 10-month-old baby were injured by rocks, as was a man in Jerusalem's French Hill neighborhood.

I haven't found an answer elsewhere and this doesn't appear to have been asked yet on SO.
When creating an event binding in wxPython, is it possible to pass additional arguments to the event? For example, this is the normal way:
b = wx.Button(self, 10, "Default Button", (20, 20))
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick, b)
def OnClick(self, event):
self.log.write("Click! (%d)\n" % event.GetId())
But is it possible to have another argument passed to the method? Such that the method can tell if more than one widget is calling it but still return the same value?
It would greatly reduce copy & pasting the same code but with different callers.

WOODBRIDGE STATION HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. th c/o Homeowners Concerns LLC, 2200 E. 104 Avenue, Suite 111, Thornton, CO 80233 Ph: 303-450-0910 Fax: 303-252-7405 E-mail: email@example.com Web Site: www.homeownersconcerns.com MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL HOMEOWNERS MEETING NOVEMBER 20, 2008 Board Members Present: Randy Smith, Joe Plesha, Allen Bradley, Dana West Absent: Eugene Ahlswede Management: Homeowners Concerns LLC – Steve Goral & Sheri Bailey Guests: Tony Murphy, City of Thornton Code Compliance Officer Rod Norman, A & A Quality Fence CALL TO ORDER The 2008 Annual Homeowners Meeting was called to order by Randy Smith at 7:03 p.m. INTRODUCTIONS The Board members and management agents introduced themselves to the homeowners in attendance. PRESENTATION BY CITY OF THORNTON CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER TONY MURPHY Tony Murphy gave a presentation to the membership regarding some of the services offered by the City of Thornton's Code Compliance Department including the following: Graffiti Removal – The City of Thornton will provide this service to homeowners FREE of charge. All that is required is that homeowners sign a waiver allowing the City of Thornton to remove graffiti from their property. This would exclude property owned by the HOA, such as fences, etc. Motor Homes – The City will issue 3-day permits allowing RVs to park on City streets temporarily. Garage Sales – The City allows no more than 2 garage sales per year per household. Contact Neighborhood Services for more information at 303-538-7600 or firstname.lastname@example.com. After regular business hours, please contact the City of Thornton Police Department. The next newsletter will contain more information on the Neighborhood Services Division. PRESENTATION BY ROD NORMAN OF A & A QUALITY FENCE The Board has had much discussion over the past several months regarding replacement of the existing wood fence around the perimeter of the community with a composite material fence. Rod Norman presented a sample composite material fence with plastic and texturing that looks very much like wood. This type of fence is very graffiti resistant and can be cleaned with soap and water. High density polyethylene playground equipment and truck bed liners are made from this same material. If a picket is damaged for any reason, it can be returned to the factory and reground. The design of the fence is tongue and groove with steel reinforcement on the inside. This fence would be warranted for 30 years. The company that manufactures this type of fence has been in business since 1952 or 1954 and they have been manufacturing this particular type of fence since the 1990s. They are located in Centennial. The proposed fence would be 6 feet tall (approximately 1.5 inches shorter than the current wood fence) and the color would be similar to the current wood fence color. The price per linear foot for this type of fence is $40.00 and the amount of fence to be replaced in total is 7,200 linear feet for a total of $288,000. If the existing wood fence is replaced with another wood fence, the total price would be approximately $160,000. The timeframe to complete this project is over the next 3 years. Much more discussion will be had in the coming months at the regular Board meetings regarding the course of action for the perimeter fence. QUORUM Association President Randy Smith announced that a quorum was established for the transaction of business with 20 homeowners present and 13 proxies submitted. PROOF OF NOTICE The Notice of Annual Meeting was included in the last newsletter and also mailed to all homeowners of record within the timeframe established by the governing documents. APPROVAL OF 2007 ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES A motion was made by Gary Hitzeman, seconded by Dale McCall to approve the 2007 Annual Meeting Minutes as presented. Motion approved by all in attendance; motion carried. STATE OF THE COMMUNITY Randy Smith highlighted the major items affecting the association over the past year: One of the biggest expenses of 2008 was the replacement of the drainage pump on Summit Grove Parkway at a cost of approximately $3,500.00. Several trees were planted throughout the community. The irrigation system was repaired and the heads converted to low-flow in order to conserve water. Covenant Fine Structure Raised - Fines were raised after ample time was given to violators. This was done not to raise money for the association but instead to gain compliance. Collections – Several court cases were filed against delinquent homeowners, which proved to be very successful. FINANCIAL REPORT Association Treasurer Allen Bradley summarized his review of the year-to-date financial reports and the proposed 2009 budget. The association remains on budget with the exception of the drainage repair and the lien/legal expenses. Lien and legal expenses are a reimbursable item, so this becomes a timing issue. The plan is to put an additional $13,000 in reserves next year for the fence project as opposed to $10,000 in years past and increase the dues $20.00 per homeowner in order to save another $100,000 over a 5-year period to place into the fence fund. The new Board will be looking at the questions of if, when and how to replace the fence. Currently, the association does not have enough money for this project. Some options to raise this money include: Increase the dues assessment $20.00 per year per home. Levy a one-time special assessment of $500.00 per homeowner. Take out a loan. (Board voted that this was not an option.) The fence project could be started in two years and completed in three years which would allow additional time to raise the necessary funds. Additionally, the vendor has agreed to multiple disbursements which could be made at timely intervals as opposed to one payment in full for the entire project. A motion was made by Gary Hitzeman, seconded by Barry Gore to approve the 2009 budget as presented. Motion approved by all in attendance; motion carried. NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD MEMBERS With no nominations from the floor, each previously interested candidate gave a brief explanation on the reasons they would like to serve on the Board of Directors. Since there were three candidates and three open positions, the membership present elected the following three homeowners to the 2009 Board of Directors by affirmation: Tom Giroux Scot Meyers Bruce Petersen Congratulations to your three new Board members! OPEN FORUM Some items of concern raised by homeowners included: o Garage Can Letters corresponding with trash pickup day o Stepping up maintenance and trash pickup along Summit Grove Parkway o Communication (call backs) regarding covenant concerns o The new DRC document will be completed and delivered soon o Better communication (mass emails) – Will be published in next newsletter o More information in new homeowner welcome packets (possibility) DRAWING FOR FREE 2009 DUES And the winner is…………..Erika and Dale McCall of 13112 Summit Grove Parkway. Congratulations! ADJOURN With no further business to be conducted, the 2008 Annual Homeowners Meeting was adjourned at 8:57 p.m.

This application claims priority to provisional application Ser. No. 60/508,147 filed on Sep. 30, 2003, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
This invention is in the field of impact copolymers (ICP's), and more specifically thermoplastic polyolefins. The invention is further directed to thermoplastic polyolefins having good paint adhesion when molded into articles of manufacture.
There is a growing interest in ICP's with good paint adhesion properties, in particular in the automotive industry for items such as bumper fascia. These materials must have mechanical properties appropriate to their use, such as high flexural modulus, high Izod impact energy, sufficient low-temperature impact energy and ductility, and acceptable elongation at break. They often must also be paintable in order to ensure a pleasing appearance of the entire product incorporating them. In the case of an automobile bumper, for example, the bumper and the rest of the car's exterior must be matched in color. "Paintable" in this context means that paint must adhere well to the polymer.
Paintability and mechanical properties tend to be in opposition: those compositional properties that tend to make an ICP paintable do not usually tend to give it desirable mechanical properties, and vice-versa. For example, a relatively high concentration of amorphous ethylene-propylene rubber having a low intrinsic viscosity is believed to enhance paintability but reduce stiffness. The present invention includes an impact copolymer composition and method for making the composition. Articles molded using the composition achieve a good balance between the requirements of paintability and mechanical properties.
The invention is a paintable impact copolymer composition produced by in-reactor blending. The composition comprises from about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a xylene-soluble portion and from about 50 wt. % to about 95 wt. % a xylene-insoluble portion. The ratio of the weight average molecular weight of the xylene-soluble portion to that of the xylene-insoluble portion is from about 0.5 to about 1.8. The intrinsic viscosity of said xylene-soluble portion is from about 0.5 to about 7.0 dL/g. The xylene-soluble portion comprises from about 30 to about 70 mole percent ethylene units. The composition according to the current invention has a melt flow rate of about 0.5 dg/min to about 200 dg/min. Additionally, the melt flow rate of the composition according to the current invention may be adjusted by controlled rheology techniques.
What follows are descriptions of several embodiments of the invention, which are not to be construed as limiting.
The invention comprises a thermoplastic polyolefin composition. More specifically, the invention comprises an impact copolymer in which a polypropylene homopolymer (HPP) component and an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) component are blended in-reactor. In-reactor blending differs from compounding, in which the components are physically blended outside of their respective reactors, and provides a greater degree of control over the reactions and the structure and properties of the copolymer. Molded articles manufactured with the composition of this invention display improved paintability and also possess mechanical properties established in the art as desirable for impact copolymers in a wide variety of uses.
Paintability is understood in the art to mean exhibiting a high degree of paint adhesion, as measured in various adhesion tests. A paint peel test was used to evaluate various samples, prepared under a variety of conditions, as explained below. Some of the samples tested exhibited cohesive failure, meaning that the paint adhered strongly to the rubber component of the impact copolymer and tore the rubber upon being peeled. These samples were regarded as passing the paintability test.
Desirable mechanical properties for uses such as bumper fascia for automobiles are understood in the art to include high flexural modulus, non-break Izod, low-temperature ductility, low after-bake shrinkage, and high resin melt flow rate (MFR). High MFR is desirable in order to facilitate the molding of the composition into articles of manufacture.
A variety of impact copolymer samples were fabricated under different controlled processing conditions selected to bring about desired properties of the two components and the overall compositions. These samples were tested for paintability and mechanical properties. In addition, the EPR and HPP components of each sample were separately characterized. The two components were separated by xylene solubility, a well-established technique in the art. To a large extent, the xylene-soluble (XS) portion of each composition is the EPR, with a relatively small admixture of amorphous polypropylene from the HPP continuous phase. The xylene-insoluble (XIS) portion is predominantly the (mostly isotactic) HPP continuous phase, with a mixture of insoluble ethylene-containing species.
Although it is impossible to decouple the effects of all of the ICP properties that contribute to paint adhesion, several trends are observed. Among the materials studied here, the best paint performance was obtained for materials with relatively high EPR concentration and low EPR molecular weight. The molecular weight of the EPR phase appears to dominate performance. Paint performance also correlates well with the ratio of Mw of the xylene-soluble component to the Mw of the xylene-insoluble component. Good paint adhesion has been observed for materials that contain some crystalline, blocky PE in the xylene-insoluble component.
Table I summarizes data on physical properties, and paintability, obtained with various samples. All samples were ductile at −30� C.
Table II summarizes data on EPR (XS) concentrations and molecular weights, and XIS molecular weights. Table III summarizes data on the ethylene groupings within the XS and XIS components, and copolymer crystallinity.
The best balance of paintability and mechanical properties is achieved with compositions within the following ranges. The xylene-soluble portion is 5–50% by weight of the composition, preferably 10–30 wt. %, and more preferably 15–25 wt. %. The total ethylene content in the composition is 5–30 wt. %, preferably 10–20 wt. %, and more preferably 14–17 wt. %. As a measure of the ethylene concentration in the EPR, the concentration of C2 in the XS portion is 30–70 mol %, preferably 40–60 mol %, and more preferably 45–55 mol %.
The ethylene in the EPR is relatively "blocky", meaning that ethylene triads (three consecutive ethylene monomer units, EEE) occurred significantly more often than would have occurred if the ethylene and propylene units were incorporated randomly into the chains. Specifically, the XS portion contained 5–40 mol % ethylene triads, preferably 10–30 mol %, and more preferably 15–25 mol %, as measured by 13C NMR. This excess of ethylene triads enhances the formation of islands of crystalline polyethylene homopolymer within the EPR particles and, to a lesser extent, in the HPP after blending.
The paintability of a molded article of impact copolymer is affected by the morphology of the rubber particles at the surface of the molded material. This morphology is in turn affected by the rheology of the copolymer-forming reactions. For this purpose, the rheology is characterized by the ratio of intrinsic viscosity of the EPR to that of the polypropylene homopolymer. This ratio can be correlated with the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight Mw of the XS portion to that of the XIS portion. In the present invention, the best balance of paintability and mechanical properties is achieved with this Mw ratio in the range 0.5–1.8, preferably 0.8–1.6, and more preferably 0.9 to 1.3. In addition, the best balance of paintability and mechanical properties is achieved with the intrinsic viscosity of the XS portion in the range 0.5–7.0 dL/g, preferably 1.0–3.0 dL/g, and more preferably 1.2–1.6 dL/g.
The melt flow rate (MFR) of the composition should be 0.5–200 g/10 minutes, preferably 5–50 g/10 minutes, and more preferably 10–15 g/10 minutes. The melt flow rate can be adjusted during molding using established techniques known as controlled rheology. Controlled rheology is understood in the art to mean the addition to the melt of substances such as alkyl peroxides, resulting in controlled degradation of the polymer and melt flow rates, as well as narrower molecular weight distributions. Alternatively, with different values for the composition variables within the ranges stated above, it may be possible to make paintable compositions having the desired mechanical properties without the use of controlled rheology. Likewise, the fabrication of paintable, mechanically acceptable compositions other than those fabricated to date may be possible with different values for the process variables within the stated ranges.
The paintability of ICP's can be adversely affected by additives, which migrate or "bloom" to the surface of the molded article. These additives include antiblocks, antistats, slip agents, lubricants, and acid scavengers. Accordingly, the compositions of this invention were fabricated with minimal effective concentrations of these additives.
Compositions according to the current invention are impact copolymers displaying enhanced paintability. The compositions comprise a polypropylene homopolymer with a relatively high degree of crystallinity and an ethylene-rich ethylene-propylene rubber with a relatively high degree of blockiness and crystallinity among the ethylene units. Articles manufactured from these compositions, for which the paintability and mechanical properties would be highly advantageous, include bumper fascia, deflectors, shields, cladding, and cowls, for automobiles.
It is to be understood that the descriptions and embodiments described above are exemplary, and are not to be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Alternatives, modifications, and variations, which do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention, will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The scope of this invention is to be defined by the following claims:

If you shoot black & white you can basically do without light meter when you are outside.
If you still need a light meter, I suggest the following:
SBC (silicon blue cell);
Incident and reflected metering;
Modern, currently available battery;
Some of the lightmeters have an analogue reading (a needle) some have a digital display. Both solutions have pros and cons and the choice is personal. Digital display can be better if you are longsighted, they are probably more robust, they can memorize several readings and show them on the display easily, they can show subject brightness range. Needles typically show directly a series of aperture/exposure couple so they can be faster in real-life use.
I would avoid the very cheap Gossen Sixtino (selenium) as they badly fail in incident light metering. I also would avoid CdS based light meters.
That said, anything branded Minolta or Gossen (with the exception of the Sixtino) is certainly very good, and many other light meters are vedy good as well.
If I were you I would not care about the "vintage look". That doesn't mean that you cannot find a perfectly viable and functional vintage light meter, though. But I wouldn't restrict my choice to those.

The National Alliance for Hispanic Health on Thursday announced a partnership with the Acetaminophen Awareness Coalition to increase awareness among Spanish-speaking consumers for the importance of safe use of medicines that contain acetaminophen.
Rite Aid's same-store sales decreased 4% in April compared with April 2012 due to an earlier Easter and introductions of new generic drugs, the retail pharmacy chain said.
The Food and Drug Administration announced that it has approved an amended application submitted by Teva Women's Health to market Plan B One-Step (active ingredient levonorgestrel) for use without a prescription by women 15 years and older.

Teens looking for something to get them high score drugs from friends, from friends of friends, from networks on campus or at school, or from dealers on the street. But increasingly, they're also turning to another source: Mom and dad's medicine cabinet.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment for a genetic disorder that affects about 500 people in the United States and 3,000 worldwide, the agency said Tuesday.

Pharmacy's value as part of an outcomes-based healthcare alignment was the highlight of the closing business presentation at the National Association of Chain Drug Stores' 2013 Annual Conference. And now it's up to NACDS members to expose Congress leaders to that value quotient on a regular basis.
That was the message shared by incoming NACDS chairman Bob Narveson. It goes to show that even as the gavel passes from the head of one of the industry's largest pharmacy chains to one of the smaller chains, innovation in patient care is happening at all levels.

On TV: Doomsday Preppers Season 2 Starts Tonight
Fans of National Geographic Channel's Doomsday Preppers TV series are probably in a great mood today as season 2 of the show that "takes us into the lives of otherwise ordinary Americans who are preparing for the end of the world as we know it" starts tonight. From a Nat Geo Channel press release I received:
On Tuesday, November 13, 2012, at 9 and 10 p.m. ET/PT, National Geographic Channel is premiering the second season of its No. 1 series, Doomsday Preppers with back to back episodes. And the highly successful season one will premiere on Spanish network, Nat Geo Mundo, beginning Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9 p.m. ET/PT…
In season two, we'll meet a plethora of individuals who are committed to thinking through every contingency plan. We'll meet a diabetic mother stockpiling insulin to survive the devastation of an F-5 tornado she fears is coming; a 14-year-old preparing for a global economic collapse; a millionaire getting ready for a massive earthquake; and a "Brady Bunch" type prepping family with six children who anticipate a terrorist smallpox epidemic.
Viewers will be treated to a two-fer tonight. According to the press release:
Premiere episodes include:
Doomsday Preppers: Am I Nuts Or Are You?
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, at 9 p.m. ET/PT
Could there be a Brady Bunch prepping family? Meet Braxton Southwick, a former professional motocross racer who lives with his wife and their six children, who are prepping for a terrorist smallpox attack. Each family member keeps a bug out bag in their car and has a special prepping skill — making them the ultimate prepping family. Big Al is a musician who wrote his own "prepping country song" and is getting ready for a nuclear attack from Russia. He has built an underground bunker that will protect him from nuclear fallout and has a special bunker stew recipe just in case he needs a tasty meal one day. Jason Beacham, a 15-year-old, has been prepping since he was 11. He fears anarchy following economic collapse and uses his allowance money to stock up on weapons and food.
Doomsday Preppers: You Can't Let Evil Win
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Some American families have drastically altered their lifestyles in order to survive what they fear will be the end of the world. Johnny O fears a terrorist attack on nuclear power plants, and his prepping philosophy is always having backups for your backups. He is a husband and father of two who lives with his wife and his wife's twin sister, who also knows their bug out plan. Wilma and Gary Bryant, who live with their children and granddaughter on a farm, are preparing for a series of F-5 tornados. They are building an underground Noah's Ark for their animals and stockpiling insulin for Wilma and her daughter, who both suffer from diabetes. Robert Earl and his wife are a retired couple who fear the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. They have relocated from Florida to a remote desert area of Texas and have built a self-sustainable property for themselves and their 21 dogs.
"Doomsday Preppers: Prepper Profile: Braxton Southwick"
Nat Geo Channel Video
I've already watched the two episodes as part of an advanced screening opportunity, and I found them to be very interesting. A number of preppers/survivalists probably know someone like Kara Southwick, Braxton's wife (watch and you'll see what I mean). Big Al has a nice underground shelter that many would envy. I enjoyed learning about Jason Beacham- I wonder how many other American teenagers are getting into prepping these days? I'd like a remote setup like "Johnny O and the Twins" (good name for a rock band, huh?) has out there in Pennsylvania. And no, I'm not referring to having two nice-looking twin sisters around. As for the Bryant family- it's good to see the topic of medical conditions, and diabetes in particular, in a SHTF scenario receive some attention. The end of their segment kind of through me for a loop. Finally, the Earls got me thinking that their move into the Texas desert could be a smart play in that nobody is going to head into that treacherous environment should things really hit the fan and people start fanning out in search of food and water.
The first two Doomsday Preppers episodes of season 2 made for two hours of interesting- and entertaining- TV viewing.
Grab some popcorn for tonight and don't be surprised if you find yourself jotting down some notes.

1 Comment to On TV: Doomsday Preppers Season 2 Starts Tonight
I've been seeing a lot of hate around the internet when it comes to the new season of doomsday preppers but there's as much good information as ever. While I disagree on the Jason Beacham segment (I think it was irresponsible letting them break into abandoned property and set a fire) there were definitely some good tips from the rest of them.

The Raiders are famous for bringing in players that were fired from other teams and allowing them to become Raider Legends. The Oakland Raiders just had a knack of bringing in players that everyone else hated and turning them into instant contributors with even some of them Hall of Famers. Willie Brown, John Matuszack, Todd Christensen, George Blanda and Jim Plunkett all had great careers with the Raiders after previously being cut by another NFL team.
