Wiping the slate clean
On a cool spring morning, the sun shone vibrantly on one wall of a Harriett Street mini-mart overrun with tags from local gangs.
Black lettering on the right spelled Bottom Squad, replacing the letter "s" with a numeral five. Next to that, SUR was written and crossed out. Norte was tagged below it with the number 14.
The various insignia came from the Bottom Squad, the Surenos and the Nortenos — gangs in Henderson that mark their territories by scrawling symbols on anything that doesn't move.
Yolanda Alston stood outside the convenience store with a handful of others preparing to put a fresh coat of paint over the ugly symbols that have become a fixture in the Flint Hill community.
Alston and the others were taking part in Project Clean Slate, an effort by the Vance County Sheriff's Office to clean up some of the tags in Henderson.
In less than an hour, the gang graffiti was whitewashed with a couple cans of paint.
"There is nothing wrong with being in a gang as long as it's the right type of gang," Alston said. "A group of people getting together is a gang — a gang of church people, a gang of painters. But the gang has got to be doing something positive within the community."
Most, if not all, of the participants admitted their lives have been touched by gangs — whether it was a daughter, brother, cousin or friend who got involved.
Alston moved back to Flint Hill after deciding to leave the area a few years ago.
At that time, her daughters attended Zeb Vance Elementary School.
The violence had escalated in Flint Hill to the point that she had trouble leaving her house.
"We couldn't leave to pick up our kids from school because they were having a shoot-out on our front lawn," she said.
She said she still hears gunshots, but not as many seem to result in the loss of life.
During May, there were at least six reports of shots being fired in the Flint Hill area — specifically Hillside Alley, Rockspring Street, Champion Street, Hilliard Street and Arch Street.
But for some longtime residents, like Kenneth Gooch, the neighborhood doesn't need to change.
"I walk through this neighborhood every day, and I see the most beautiful community in Henderson right here," said 65-year-old Gooch. "This is the only community in Henderson where the streets are full of people all the time. Every other community, you see nice houses with nice manicured lawns, but you don't ever see people out and socializing with each other. That is what makes this community different and special."
Gooch knows the drug trade is rampant in Flint Hill. But he also knows that some dealers are supporting families by selling drugs on the street.
"Drugs are the basic economy here," he said. "There are a lot of children fed because their daddies are slinging drugs. It's unfortunate that there is so much violence connected with the drug trade, but I would attribute at least 90 percent of that coming from out-of-town gangs coming to sell their products."
Mattie Owens, who grew up in Henderson, said the city has changed since when she was young.
"When we were growing up, it was more like a community," she said. "Everybody is about themselves now. People don't take care of others like they used to and that really makes a difference, especially with the younger kids."
She said the project through the sheriff's office to remove gang graffiti is a good start.
"But actually, it's going to take more than a couple people," she said. "The only way I see it changing is if everybody pulls together. If everybody pulls together, anything is possible."

An example of hyperpigmentation is melasma (also known as chloasma). This condition is characterized by tan or brown patches, most commonly on the face. Melasma can occur in pregnant women and is often called the "mask of pregnancy;" however, men can also develop this condition. Melasma frequently goes away after pregnancy. It can also be treated with certain prescription creams (such as hydroquinone). Read more about hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation skin conditions.

Recharge your electric vehicle in 20 minutes starting later this year

What if 80-100 miles isn't good enough?
If you work for Google, you know they'll have an array of DC fast chargers to go along with great food in the cafeteria, and those stock options. Real people in real jobs may not be so lucky. "Lucky" at work means access to even a lowly 120-volt outlet that lets you get back the energy expended getting to work. Range axiety will be real, along with the vehicle cost. These are not cars for weekend trips more than an hour-and-a-half from home.
There are solutions, however. Both BMW and GM have plans to get you access to real cars — sorry, combustion engine cars — that run on gasoline or diesel. GM is partnering with RelayRides. Anyone with OnStar, which means anyone who owns a GM car, can access a website that pairs up would-be car renters with individuals willing to rent their cars for the weekend. According to RelayRides founder Shelby Clark, "The most common rental is let's-get-out-of-town-for-the-weekend." RelayRides prescreens renters and their driving records, and maintains a reputation site where renters and owners rate each other. Think of this as Zipcar except the car owner renting out is a person, not a company. There's even the option for the EV owner to rent out his or her car for the same period. The renter's smartphone maps out the location of the car being rented and then remotely unlocks the car.
BMW's program is to make cars available at dealers, particularly service loaners. The BMW i3 owner would arrange a rental, drop off the EV (and get it recharged), then swap out cars at the end of the rental period.

That helps, but it's not enough. Imagine wanting to occasionally take your car on a 300 mile trip. In a gas car, that's about 4 hours or so of driving time. In a Spark, that's four 80% charges (assuming you started on a full charge), adding almost an hour and a half to the trip, and getting you there on "E", needing yet another charge before you can go anywhere. Sound like a plan? Not to me.
Marc Guillot
These cars are only for your daily work and usual moves. You will not only help the environment, but you will also save a lot of money on gas (leave a solar panel at home charging a second battery, and you will not pay another cent).
For the occasionally 300 miles trip, you can have a second, combustion car, or you can exceptionally rent a car.
A Nissan Leaf requires 3300 watts to charge over an 8 hour period. I googled "3.3KW solar" and found a nice kit that can produce that much power. It has a dozen 64″x40″ panels, weighs over 680 pounds, and costs $6182. Fortunately, that's pretty reasonable compared to the second battery. The Leaf's battery pack costs about $18,000. So yeah, for another $24,000 on top of the $36,000 you have to pay for the car (compared to about $16,000 for the gasoline engine equipped Versa equivalent), you can avoid buying gas OR paying high electric bills. All you need is an extra $44,000 to spend up front, not including whatever you have to spend for that "second, combustion car" for when you need more than 80 miles of range.
Isn't it annoying when really awesome sounding liberal fantasies get smashed to bits on the rocky reefs of reality?
Marc Guillot
The solar panels looks like a good investment, useful not only for charging your car batteries.
Are you sure about the $24.000 for a backup battery ?, that looks awfully (and ridiculously) expensive. I guess we will have to wait until mass production brings batteries price down.
The $24K figure I quoted added the cost of the solar panels to the estimate of replacement battery cost. Just google "Nissan Leaf Battery" and you'll find estimates of $12,000 to $18,000 for the battery pack. Lithium is an expensive ingredient.
Marc Guillot
Thanks for the explanation.
Jeremy Garcia
In addition to what Marc said, the Tesla Model S gets 300 miles on a single charge. If that were combined with the fast charge, and something like a Model S becomes a very viable option for those 300mi trips. Plus there is a reliability factor – you don't have to worry about the engine over-heating, or checking your fluids before such a drip.
Willy McBurgle
EVs aren't targeted at long-rangers yet although the battery tech is now at the final stages of research to make this possible within 5-10 years. Most EV owners will have a 40-80 mile commute which will cover a full day of driving without much difficulty – and too be fair, that's where most of the pollution comes from anyway (commuters)
@sesummers:disqus I have to disagree. Even with 4 or even 5 quick charges at 20-30 minutes each charge this is still a pretty good bet with the BMW.
Maybe not so much with the spark.
This doesn't take into account other factors however like additional occupants.
But i am going to imagine here that the current tech could probably be tweaked so much as to the point where long family trips might eventually be possible in the next coming year.
ps: Then there is the problem of adoption of the DC QC tech. But thats a totally different issue.
Totally agree – it's great that you're helping out by having an electric car and at the same time saving yourself some money, but the idea of not having an actual battery when there's so many cheap car batteries around concerns me. Can you imagine being stuck in slow moving traffic whilst your battery wears down – no body wants their power to run out!
Bruce Parmenter
Public CHAdeMO Level-3 (L3) charging (EVSE) is well established when compared to GM's push for using CCS Combo L3. See
There are none of GM's public CCS Combo L3 EVSE at this time. So all this talk about how great GM's L3 ability is moot/useless. Where as, I can buy a Leaf EV today, and there is plenty of public CHAdeMO L3 around, and more going in all the time.
99% of my driving an EV would not be using L3. But it is good to have (like a tool) encase I need or just want it.
Until GM gets as many public CCS Combo L3 out there as there is CHAdeMO L3, GM's Spark EV L3 capability is moot.
{brucedp.150m.com} [<- Drove electric for 15+ years]
If its not compatible with Tesla's quick charge plugs, whats the point? Its a dead spec, and doesn't need to be covered by the news.
Willy McBurgle
I think it's Tesla that will be in trouble – not them.
I doubt it. No one is interested in an electric car from companies that have helped destroy the electric car in the past: see the EV1, a successful GM electric car that GM killed because the Saudis didn't want the competition, and the Chevy Volt, a lack luster intentionally botched GM product to make electric cars look bad.
Why should I care what GM, BMW, or the rest do? Either they're on board with Tesla or they have no future.
LOL. Tesla still has the fastest charging, broadest charge station network.
They're miles ahead of the others. The others are too preoccupied with their gassers and how they've always done it. Tesla is looking at fresh approaches to everything.
Charging your Tesla at a supercharger is free, now and forever. There's no way you can say the same for GM.
Nissan also has hundreds of quick charge stations using the Japanese standard.
So, obviously we need a third connector. Argh.
Willy McBurgle
whatever – I've read your comments; you're a Tesla fanboy (congrats, first one I've ever met) – but no one company can stand on its own and GM/Ford/Chrysler are the companies that command the markets in the U.S. and Europe along with Renault/Peugout/Fiat, etc. If all of these companies sign up to a common charge standard, that standard will win regardless of how good the Tesla tech is. Facts are facts. It's about marketshare, plain and simple.
So it's about market share? Then GM loses and Tesla wins because GM doesn't currently support fast charging and will need to roll out a network from scratch. The Volt doesn't support fast charging. The new Spark does but is only sold in California ( can we say compliance car).
If we're talking about vehicle market share, Tesla wins there too. Tesla is outselling the Volt even though its twice the price.
GM knows very little about making electric cars, and what they do know about making gas cars is more likely to hurt than help them. Remember Kodak?
Ford, Chrysler, even Fiat. They have few if any electric cars. They are not even on the map.
Willy McBurgle
Tesla is a bug. They have all the potential to be a great compliment car manufacturer but they are NEVER going to challenge the big 3 in America or the big 7 in Europe. The only reason they outpace on EV against everyone else is because everyone else is still making tons of cash on conventional and hasn't yet shifted their focus to EV. Do you seriously think that Tesla will hold dominance once the pedigree decide to challenge them? You say Kodak – I say Canon. Guess what? Canon still outsells Samsung and Lumix by a mile.
Yes, I do think tesla will challenge the big three, or big two if you count Chrysler as Fiat.
Canon? Industry has moved on. Consumers are using their phones as cameras. Where's the canon phone? Whoops. Missed that change in technology. As will the big three or seven.

By building electric cars where the battery is accessible and the shape, size and voltage of all batteries are standardized. A gas station could charge car batteries before the car gets there and change it out within minutes. Problem solved.
I don't think this idea would be practical however. A charging station would have to have hundreds of large heavy batteries on hand 24/7.
Maybe for emergency vehicles this could be useful but for the mass public not so much.
The roll up to charge idea is much more practical however. Taking 0 user effort and absolutely no power loss in transfer.
Charles Hammond
Recharging fast causes gassing in batteries and creates heat which can cause fires. How is this going to work exactly. Do you even realize that would be a really high power connection line to accomplish this. Cars use a lot of power. Lets see 100-200 kwh per battery X 20 that is like 40,000 – 80,000 kwh in 20 mins. One mistake and you will be a marshmellow on fire. I figured this out in my head without looking up any figures or information. I am not saying this is impossible, just impractible. Just imagine you have a thousand cars like this and what kind of strain that would be on the power grid. Then imagine you have a million cars. Get my point?
Batteries charge in cells. Not as 1 huge battery at one time. Li-Ion Poly has a very dense heat absorption rate and only .00001% of cells "catch fire". And If one cell goes dead the others will continue to operate.
As for "battery wine" as its called this is nothing to worry about at all.
Read. Tesla is doing it. Their stations are planned to support running off grid with no impact on the grid at all.
Tesla cools the battery pack to prevent heating issues.
Worried about fire risk? Ever considered how insanely dangerous is it to pour gallons of extremely flammable gasoline into a gas tank? Ever smoke while doing that? Be very very careful about static electricity.
Charles Hammond
This would be like hooking up a high tension power cable to your car.
Charles Hammond
Electic cars weigh more and gas tax pays for roads. Get ready for the Hybrid/electric car tax!!!
The i3 weighs 2756 lb about the same a Honda Civic, so no electric cars do not weigh more. It really depend on how the car is designed. The i3 body is aluminum and carbon fiber while the Civic is steel. To build a truly modern car you must use modern materials, the i3 is the most advanced design to date.
Charles Hammond
An 82 mile range is deplorable. Concentrate on making conventional cars lighter and we could cut gas usage in half or more. The ware and tare on roads by heavy electric vehicles would really be bad. Someone has to pay for the roads and if there is no GAS Tax what will pay to build the roads? You will.
Taxes to pay for roads does not have to remain the only approach. Perhaps vehicles should be taxed by weight, which would encourage the production of lighter vehicles which would cause less road wear and lead to longer lasting roads?
How about tax by emissions?
Should encourage conservation not penalize it.
Gas tax is also meant as an incentive to conserve gas.
Taxing zero emission vehicles makes absolutely no sense. Backwards thinking. Someone is still trying to protect the oil industry.
Charles Hammond
A small lightweight vehicle made with carbon fiber or other materials needs less engine torque. That means lighter drive trains and an extended driving range.
Charles Hammond
Electric bicycles or 3 Wheeled vehicles could easily travel 20-55 miles an hour and be more useful in an urban environment. Making automobiles larger and heavier is not the answer. http://www.solarvehicles.org/home.html
Charles Hammond
Just replacing one wheel on a bicycle with an electric wheel and a bike could travel at 45 miles an hour. This is illegal according current laws for electric bikes. We need better laws to allow for lighter vehicles.
Dr. Herbert D. Zeman
You don't want to make a habit of riding a bicycle at 45 miles per hour. That's just too dangerous. What you really want here is an electric motorcycle. Motorcycle hardware is designed for higher speeds. Bicycle hardware is not. Check out the web sites of Zero and Brammo. Electric motorcycles, besides being emissions free, would also be free of nasty vibrations and noise, as compared to gasoline motorcycles. I believe our laws are correct in limiting the attainable speed of electric bicycles. New York City has even gone so far as to ban electric bicycles entirely.
Charles Hammond
Laws are made to be changed. Maybe a normal bike is not sturdy enough, but I saw this done on a sturdy off-road bicycle. I am suggesting alternatives because I know the engineering does not have to be as sturdy as a motorcycle, but a little sturdier than a bicycle.

A new product, it will be waiting for the appearance of its features.
How is the Spark first? Maybe last.
Tesla supercharger network.
Nissan Leaf Chademo network in the US.
Both of these others have been around for a while. About time GM gets on it.
Mr Moo
Electric cars are never going to work in this world. i mean who wants to wait around for 20 mins while there car is being refilled? imagine getting to a petrol station and the attendant tells you to wait 20 mins cos the checkout has gone offline, most people would just drive to the next station.
Now imagine goin to refill your car in rush hour, when you've just left work and theres hundreds of cars queued up tryin to get electricity cos it takes an hour for each outlet to charge up just 3 cars. Thats my idea of hell, Id rather not have a car tbh.
In my petrol car, even if the fuel warning light is on, i know iv still got about 50 miles in the tank, so if i do get to a petrol station that is offline or too busy i can still make it to another station, whereas 50 miles in an EV is half a tank.
The we come to the cost of batteries, how long will a battery's total life be if its being charged from 0% to 100% in 20 mins, my guess is not long enough. I mean it pisses me off when my laptop battery dies, i usually dont bother buying another battery cos i know it will only be a matter of time before it dies again, i just leave it plugged in while im using it (try doing that with a car)
I wanna know why car manufacturers are pushing for EVs, im sure hydrogen is a much more practical path to go down
http://www.techpolitik.com/ Ed Oswald
The charging issue is the biggest drawback to electric cars. This is a crucial step in mass market adoption IMHO.
Naveen Agrawal
Solution to many Electric vehicles problems:
The biggest problem of electric vehicle is that they could not produce their own energy (unlike petrol vehicles). If we add a small generator (in these vehicles) which could produce as much energy required to run the vehicle & charge the battery in the emergency time (when battery is exhausted), will solve many problems related to electric vehicles.
This will allow these vehicles to run long distances & user had not to worry if he forgets to charge the vehicle (or could not do so due to long power cut), & vehicles with drained batteries could not run, so they had to go to their offices, etc by other means . Small generators could use diesel/petrol/gas/hydrogen, etc to produce electricity.
This will also allow the user to run AC when required without worrying that it will drain the battery quickly.
This will also allow the manufacturers to increase the speed of these vehicles by increasing power of these vehicles (by increasing no. of motors attached to the vehicle).
This will allow the user to travel long distances like 500kms without the need of searching charging points & wait at the middle of journey.
This solution will be cost effective than hybrid vehicle as manufacturers had not to add petrol engine along with electric motor in order to get these benefits.
This will allows the manufacturers to use light weight & high performance battery like lithium-ion/lithium-polymer battery (along with lead-acid battery(maybe)) as vehicles will be acceptable with less battery running time like 60-70km/charge.
Magnus Blomberg
Forget about EV:s altogether!
Get som Thorium MSBR:s up and running! Then we would have more electricity then we would know what tobdo with. We could burn 99% of the nuclear waste that is already produced by todays light water reactors, close all Coal power plants and still have enough power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through hydrolysis.
Hydrogen can then be used to syntesize carbohydrates for cars.
You would need a megawatt charger to compete withe the energy transfer rate of a gaspump.
ah the Japanese doing their own thing. they -think- it will be Japan/unique/good, but the reality 99% of the time is Japan/unique/bad-stupid-ridiculous. wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that (most of the the time) they try to shove their bad-stupid-ridiculous 'standards' down everyone else's throat…

Only 20 minutes, and if there are 3 cars ahead of you at the station?

This story was updated on Sept. 19, 2012.
Since forming My Organic Market in 1987 as a home delivery company out of his mother's garage, Scott Nash has seen enough sales to support a ninth store that just opened in Fairfax, Va., and a 10th planned for Waldorf this year.
Nash isn't too concerned about last week's review by Stanford University researchers of more than 200 studies that casts some doubt on whether organic foods are "significantly" more nutritious than conventionally grown and raised foods. The study in the Sept. 4 edition of the Annals of Internal Medicine, a journal formed by the American College of Physicians in 1927, does conclude that organic foods might reduce exposure to pesticides and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
While other studies contradict those findings, the Stanford study was "not necessarily inaccurate," said Nash, president of the Rockville grocery chain. "But [the Stanford study] only covered a very small part of the benefits of organics."
Those benefits include lowering the health risks of pesticide and herbicide exposure for both consumers and farm workers, plus less environmental damage than conventional or factory farming creates, Nash said. Then there are the higher quality of organic products, along with organic foods being less likely to be genetically modified and more likely to support small, local farmers and the humane treatment of animals, he said.
Those benefits are at least 90 percent of the reasons Nash said he buys organic foods.
"The nutrition aspect is just a small piece of it," he said.
U.S. sales of organic products, which are generally grown without synthetically produced pesticides and the use of antibiotics, rose to $28.6 billion in 2010, about double that of 2005, according to the Organic Trade Association of Brattleboro, Vt. The top five organic retailers last year were all major grocers: Wal-Mart, Costco, Kroger's, Target and Safeway.
The association noted that the Stanford study found that conventional produce has a 30 percent higher risk for pesticide contamination than organic food, and that conventionally raised chicken and pork have a 33 percent higher risk for bacteria-related contamination.
"Consumers seeking to minimize their exposure to pesticide residues will find that foods bearing the [U.S. Department of Agriculture] organic label are the gold standard," Christine Bushway, executive director and CEO of the trade group, said in a statement.
Like many grocers, Giant Food of Landover, which has 171 supermarkets in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C., has its own line of organic foods.
Over the past several years, Giant Food has grown the number of natural and organic options it offers based on customer feedback and preference, as well as "substantially increased" its own Nature's Promise line, spokesman Jamie Miller said in an email.
"We work hard to stock our shelves with the products our customers desire," he said.
Whole Foods Market of Austin, Texas, which is known for its organic offerings and has numerous Maryland stores, has made such foods into a highly profitable enterprise. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012, its profit rose 32 percent to $353 million from the same period in 2011, and sales increased 13 percent to $8.8 billion. Comparable store sales grew 8.8 percent.
Claudia Raskin, editor of the Maryland Organic Food and Farming Association's newsletter, doubts shoppers who buy organic foods are going to change their habits based on the new Stanford study.
"The big deal about eating organic is not eating chemicals," Raskin said. "There are so many cancer risks anyway."
MOM's latest store in in the Merrifield Mosaic District of Fairfax has a grand opening planned for this weekend, with vendor demonstrations, food samples, henna artists and children's activities. The chain has six stores in Maryland and three in Northern Virginia.

MarsBar Meltsby The Londoner on Oct 20, 2011 • 7:00 am 5 Comments
There are two reasons you'll fall in love with these MarsBar Melts.
1. They only need 4 ingredients
2. They only take 7mins to bake
Fast, fabulous & utterly filthy!
You will need:
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 2 Marsbars
- 2 Eggs
- 5 1/2 tbsp oil
Pre-heat your oven to 180ºc.
- Mix your dry cake mix with your eggs & oil.
- Give it some welly & keep stirring until you have a smooth, shiny, thick batter.
- Chop your marsbars into slices, take a scoop of cake batter and roll it around your mars bar slice.
- Make sure it's totally covered and pop your cake ball on a baking tray.
- Keep doing this until you've run out of mixture.
- Make sure you eat any left over mars bar slices… this is a very important step.
- Pop them in the oven for 7-8mins
Until they look like these bad boys —>
- While they're still warm, scoop them onto a plate & serve with a frosty glass of milk.
Ps. If for some unforeseeable reason you don't eat these all in one sitting, just store them in a box in the cupboard, do not refrigerate or you'll loose your squidgy middle.
This is a recipe from my blog, The Londoner. If you like it, I have lots more! Pop on over and have a look.

Close friends will be facing this issue. They will need to find care for their autistic son at some point but there are thousands waiting and not enough money to provide all the housing. ARC funding was cut, medicare cuts, and talk of the Governor using funds for affordable housing to fix the budget of the state.
Seems to me that cost should be a big deciding factor. The state talks always about the purchase of existing homes over new construction because it is not as expensive to convert to what is needed. The article does not talk about why that's not considered. The more money saved on each home, the more that can be converted. That would be the most responsible in helping provide more homes.
Especially with such a huge shortage.
I wonder the same. Costs less...so more homes can be created. Isn't that the goal of ARC?
I asked that on the article where they asked for comments. My comment does not appear anymore.
Amazing how mant people use these message boards simply to insult and/or attack people......
This is such a wonderful idea. The work they have done has been terrific..the Blue Fish Grill looks great!
I wish much success for this event as well as for the participating artists. Those who are working so hard to revitalize Flemington (inclusive of the Flemington Hotel team) deserve kudos for all of their efforts to help Flemington achieve its full potential as the place people want to visit.
Good question.
Good question.
Small business owners earn an average of 250K; most quite a bit less. They do not qualify as one percenters. Earnings must be in excess of 340K to be considered among the 1%.
However, contrary to the popular but unsupported belief that the 1% are " job creators" small business owners actually generate the largest percentage of jobs.
Here is a link for those who are interested in facts in terms of job creation as opposed to talking points.
In reading many of these comments it is easy to see where intolerance and bullying on the part of kids originate....and in all too many cases, it seems to stem from what they learn at home. The internet is a great thing as it gives everyone a voice...however it is also a bad thing for that same reason as all too many use it's anonymity to behave in a manner that most would not dare in person.
Maybe NJ.com should set an example and raise the bar; instead of relying upon readers to monitor these forums, do so on their own and eliminate the Jerry Springer circus act that so many of these threads mimic.
In a county with so much undeveloped land, it seems that putting over almost 8000 solar panels right next to a residential area is not exactly smart or thoughtful planning.....or necessary.
All too often the residents who foot the high NJ tax bill are ignored when they make a reasoned and researched protest with reagrd to these issues.
It is absurd that residents need to hire an attorney in order for township government to take them seriously.
That said, the power problems in Hunterdon have far more to do with the old antiquated early 20th century infrastructure than with power generation.
I believe the lot in question is zoned residential whihc is why a variance is needed. State law appears to only addresses industrial and commercial farm properties regarding solar, but not residential.
Nothing in life is guaranteed...but that does not mean that common sense and the opinions of taxpayers should be ignored in terms of zoning and planning unless they hire a lawyer.
It seems the money the state claims to be saving by closing facilities is really just shuffled on to the backs of the towns and taxpayers in terms of transferring the reaponsibility for managing these poor individuals to the those who have not been trained for the challenge posed by working with the mentally ill, and instead have to rely on local police for constant intervention.
That is not care, it is a horribly underfunded mandate, with the patients the ultimate losers in the game of politics.
Chrisite...are you proud of yourself and what has become yet another one of your hairbrained schemes that is doomed to fail?
All excellent points. However, a municipality can and does do this now.....purchase any home, foreclosed or otherwise, and convert in to some form of affordable housing.....or buy a lot and contact to have any number of non-profits build AH of any type. They have been doing so for years.
That said, there is another issue that IMO ties into the above proposed legislation and that is that the state is going to take ALL of the money in the Affordable Housing Trust Fund by July of 2012 that was collected Pre 2008 by the various municipalities that the municipality has not already committed to an AH project and use it as the state sees fit....which they claim will be affordable housing for all categories - aka homeless, homeless vets, low income, mental health needs etc.
Many have quite a bit of money tired up, as they stopped moving forward on AH because of all the COAH uncertainty that resulted once Chrisite pretended to have abolished COAH, but which now turns out he had no legal right to do so.
Many in Trenton have rumored that he is planning to take at least some if not ALL of that AH designated money to plug all the holes in his "balanced budget" which is anything BUT balanced. The Governors spokesperson has so far failed to comment on the rumors as far as I know.
That said, it will be interesting if nothing else to see how this plays out.
A Trader Joe's would be great. And, a nice sit down Chinese restaurant....such as PF Changs China Bistro. That is one chain restaurant that would really fill a gap. A movie theater as well, along with more retail for the teen to 20 set such as H&M. Also a DSW Shoes would be a big draw, a West Elm, a Chicos, Banana Republic, etc.
Bottom line, without the shops and venues that people travel out of the area to shop/eat in, they will continue to spend their dollars out of the area.
Sounds great but what it desperately needs is a traffic light. Making a left on to 523 from Dayton travelong from South Main is very difficult, especially during rush hour. I am amazed a light has not been installed there as of yet.
Glad to see other people see how pathetic NJ.com has become.
Extremely well said Outbackfarm. However it is amazing just how many people will openly defend a con scheme.
The DT Committee and DM Scholl acted as required. Bottom line? Illegal activity will not be tolerated. It's that simple.
Not to mention that the property is not even in Flemington. How does one not know where their property is located?
Guns and tractors are a permitted use. If they are an issue for you, it is not clear why you purchased property in an area where the sound of both would be present on a regular basis.
Also extremely well said Countryroads. One additional point....by knowingly operating a business with total disregard for township zoning ordinances (which, by the way, if the required variances had been applied for, neighbors within 200 ft of the property would have been notified), and by denigrating those who are asking him to abide by the law, it makes it seem as if he still believes that he has a right to do as he pleases regardless. That said, with such obvious anger at being asked to play by the rules, it remains a question if that mindset can be relied upon to change.
If not, I foresee a lot of taxpayer money being spent to keep the operation in line if it does gain approval.
Race where? Local roads at 35 MPH? If not, why would "rich" people want to race on the alternative which is not much more than a paved patch, instead of a state of the art high end race course?
As for a Helipad, here is a link that may help to educate you on the reality of the process;

By ALICIA LEONARD
On the afternoon of March 10, in the space of one hour, an Alabama gunman cut a swath of death and destruction through 20 miles of Geneva County, AL., in what authorities are calling the largest mass murder by a single gunman in Alabama history.
The Department of Public Safety issued a "Multiple Homicide Investigation News Statement" regarding the sequence of events after gunman Michael McLendon killed 10 people and then himself on Tuesday March 10, in Kinston, Samson and Geneva, Alabama.
The release stated, "State, federal and local investigators responding to the multiple homicides March 10 in south Alabama are piecing together the sequence of events that resulted in the shooting deaths of 10 victims, the injury of six individuals, and the death of the suspect from a self-inflicted gunshot. Investigators also are working to determine a motive for the deadly attacks. The gunman has been identified as Michael Kenneth McLendon, 28, of Coffee County.
"We believe the attacks began at McLendon's mother's residence in Coffee County on County Road 474 in Kinston, where McLendon also lived. The body of a woman was discovered at the residence at approximately 3:30 p.m. when local firefighters responded to witness reports of a fire at that location. The Department of Forensic Sciences is working to confirm the identity, but the victim is believed to be Lisa White McLendon, 52, McLendon's mother.
"McLendon then traveled to Samson in Geneva County, where he shot and killed five individuals on the front porch of his uncle's residence on West Pullum Street. The victims are identified as: Corrine Gracy Myers, 18 months, the daughter of Geneva County Deputy Josh Myers; Andrea D. Myers, 31, mother of the 18-month-old and wife of Deputy Myers; James Alford White, 55, identified as McLendon's uncle; Tracy Michelle Wise, 34, identified as McLendon's cousin; Dean James Wise, 15, identified as Ms. Wise's son and McLendon's second cousin. Injured at that residence was 4-month-old Ella K. Myers, the daughter of Deputy Myers. Ella was transported by LifeFlight to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. She was listed in stable condition and scheduled for surgery.
"McLendon then shot and killed Virginia E. White, 74, identified as McLendon's grandmother, who was standing in the doorway of her home on Pullum Street, next door to the residence where the first attack occurred.
"McLendon then left Pullum Street, traveling north on Wise Street in a red 2003 Mitsubishi. On Wise Street, McLendon shot and killed a pedestrian, James Irvin Starling, 24. McLendon continued north onto Main Street in Samson, where he shot and injured Jeffrey Lynn Nelson, 50.
"McLendon then traveled to the Inland Gas Station on Main Street in Samson, where he shot and killed Sonja Smith, 43. Injured at that location was Greg McCullough, 49. McLendon continued traveling east on Alabama 52, firing rounds into several businesses and vehicles as he drove.
"At 4:01 p.m. CDT, an Alabama state trooper notified the Dothan State Trooper Post that he had received a report of a subject shooting at people in Samson, and the trooper proceeded toward Samson on Alabama 52.
"McLendon, traveling east on SR-52 toward Geneva, then shot and killed Bruce Wilson Malloy, 51, who was traveling in a vehicle on SR-52.
"At 4:06 p.m. CDT, the Alabama state trooper encountered McLendon on Alabama 52, and McLendon fired at least seven rounds into the trooper's vehicle. The trooper, Mike Gillis, was injured slightly by broken glass, and continued the pursuit on McLendon into Geneva.
"The Geneva Police Department attempted to stop McLendon using a PIT, or pursuit intervention maneuver, in front of the Wal-Mart in Geneva. McLendon fired several rounds into the officer's vehicle, injuring him with glass fragments. Geneva Police Chief Frankie Lindsey attempted to block McLendon's exit from the area, at which time McLendon fired several rounds at the chief. Chief Lindsey was wounded in the shoulder.
"McLendon continued on Highway 52, turned onto Maple Avenue in Geneva, and then onto Highway 27 north. He stopped at Reliable Products in Geneva at 4:17 p.m., where he exited his vehicle. McLendon exchanged fire with a Geneva County deputy and a state Conservation officer before entering the Reliable Products building. Within minutes, gunshots were heard, and McLendon was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"McLendon was employed at Kelley Foods of Alabama. We have identified that in 2003, he was briefly employed as a police officer in Samson, but failed to complete required training at the police academy in Montgomery. He had no known criminal record.
"McLendon was armed with two assault rifles, an SKS and a Bushmaster, using high-capacity magazines taped together; a shotgun; and a .38-caliber handgun. At this time, we believe that he fired in excess of 200 rounds during the assaults.
"In addition to the Alabama Department of Public Safety, agencies participating in the investigation are the Geneva County Sheriff's Department, Geneva Police Department, Samson Police Department, Coffee County Sheriff's Department, Dothan Police Department, Dale County Sheriff's Department, Andalusia Police Department, Covington County Sheriff's Department, New Brockton Police Department, Ozark Police Department, State Fire Marshal, Alabama Beverage Control Board, Conservation and Natural Resources, Department of Forensic Sciences, Emergency Management Agency, Alabama Power Company investigators, the FBI, ATF, and Ft. Rucker Police Department."

The Climate Fix: What Scientists and Politicians Won't Tell You about Global Warmingby Roger Pielke
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Why has the world been unable to address global warming? Science policy expert Roger Pielke, Jr., says its not the fault of those who reject the Kyoto Protocol, but those who support it, and the magical thinking that the agreement represents. In The Climate Fix, Pielke offers a way to repair climate policy, shifting the debate away from meaningless targets and toward a revolution in how the worlds economy is powered, while de-fanging the venomous politics surrounding the crisis. The debate on global warming has lost none of its power to polarize and provoke in a haze of partisan vitriol. The Climate Fix will bring something new to the discussions: a commonsense perspective and practical actions better than any offered so far.
"Pielke (The Honest Broker) presents a smart and hard-nosed analysis of the politics and science of climate change and proposes 'a commonsense approach to climate policy.' According to Pielke, the 'iron law of climate policy' dictates that whenever 'environmental and economic objectives are placed in opposition to each other,' economics always wins. 'Climate policies must be made compatible with economic growth as a precondition for their success,' he writes, and because the world will need more energy in the future, an 'oblique' approach supporting 'causes,' such as developing affordable alternative energy sources rather than 'consequences,' such as controversial schemes like cap-and-trade, is more likely to succeed. Although some may protest on principle the suggestion that we accept the inevitability of energy growth, Pielke's focus on adaptation to climate change refreshingly sidesteps the unending debate over the reality of anthropogenic climate change, and opens up the possibility for effective action that places 'human dignity and democratic ideals at the center of climate policies.' (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
Book News Annotation:
Pielke Jr., a political scientist who teaches environmental studies at the U. of Colorado, explores the flaws in current approaches to climate change and discusses the decarbonization of the global economy. He discusses key aspects of climate science important for climate policy, the assumptions that have lead to policy failure, the math behind decarbonization, the domestic decarbonization policies of several countries and how they will fall short of their goals, the different proposals to dealing with them, policy approaches to disasters, the politicization of climate science, and how to collectively decide which route to take in decarbonization.

Mandy asks…
Question about cat food, can you help?
Please read my whole question before answering, thanks.
I'm switching my cats to all wet food as I read it's better for them overall than dry kibble.
I went to read the labels on how much to feed my cats. The 2 canned foods I am deciding on are chicken soup for the cat lover's soul, and Holistic select. I know they are both 2 different companies, but BOTH foods are in 5.5oz cans, but the feeding guidelines are different on each food. On the chicken soup food, they say to feed 1.5 cans of food per 7 lbs of body weight daily, but on the holistic select, they say to feed only 1 can daily. These are both adult formula cat foods, both chicken/turkey formula that I will be feeding, and the ingredients are pretty much similar, so why would the chicken soup brand require you to feed 1/2 can more a day than the holistic select?
Both my cats are indoor only adults, with moderate activity level, and are 6.5 lbs and 7.5 lbs. I would rather go with the chicken soup brand since the cans are only 80 cents, whereas the holistic select cans are $1.29, so if I can get away with feeding my cat the one can a day with the chicken soup, I would rather do so, because when I add it all up with 2 cats at 1 can a day each, the chiken soup brand is going to cost me about $50 a month, whereas the holistic select will cost me $75-80 a month. But if I need to feed my cat as much as the chicken soup brand wants me to, it is going to require me to buy more cans on a monthly basis, so it is going to be more expensive in the long run, than buying the holistic select and only using one can per cat a day. Like I said, in short, I want to know if it is ok to feed my cats only one can of the chicken soup brand a day, rather than 1.5-1.75 cans a day like their label says.
Do not ridicule me on prices and how if I own cats I need to dish out whatever it takes, it's my check book, not yours, and I take great care of my cats with veterinary care and high quality foods, I just would like to save some money in the long run with the canned food diet, and that extra $25-30 a month will be helpful. Thanks in advance for your advice.
admin answers:
I am glad you made this choice for your cats, it's great to see more people jump on the train and feed their cats properly! Kudos!
I checked the guaranteed analysis and the difference is that the Chicken Soup has 10% protein and 5% fat, while Holistic had 8.5 protein and 6.5 fat. That may be why the instructions are different, for the cat on Chicken soup to get enough fats. Personally I would go with the one with more protein, 8.5 is just quite low. You could start by feedin 2.5 cans which is a compromise and see how the cats will do. Or just supplement a little raw meat to make up for the fat and protein.
However I read the list of ingredients too and both foods contain grain.
Grain is not good because it's carbs and cats are not equipped to process carbs. They turn to blood sugar and fat, and contribute to diabetes and obesity. I think you could do a little better with completely grain-free product. I'm not sure about the prices in states, but check out Wellness, Merrick, Blue Buffalo Wilderness, Nature's Variety… Maybe you can find an economical solution somewhere there.
If not, then I would email the manufacturer to give you a complete analysis to find out just how much grain and rice is in there. If it's less than 5%, then I'd go for it. In the nature the cat would consume the prey including stomach, that may have some grain in it, up to 5% of the total weight, so that should not be harmful. You can also learn to count the carb percentage from the guaranteed analyses here: http://www.catinfo.org/?link=cannedfoods
I did the math for you on these 2 and here are the results:
Chicken soup: 18% carbs
Holistic: 18% carbs
This is percentage in dry matter of the food, and that should be lower than 10%.
For example, Wellness core has 12% protein and 7% fat, both great numbers. In addition it has 0.2% carbs in dry matter only. That's great food.
If you find more cheap brands that you wold like to evaluate and are not sure how to, send me an email, I'll be happy to help.
Good luck!
Betty asks…
again~ my dog~ and dog food……..?
i feed my dog, (husky) which is idiopathic epileptic, purina alpo prime cuts. i was reading the label and there was a few things that alarmed me.
1) animal digest
2) copper sulphate
3) sodium selenite
and there is a box that says: adult level of dry food indicated fed ONCE daily to HEALTHY, dogs with normal activity.
should i just start feeding him home-cooked meals?
well, he is on phenobarbital, for now. i dont know if i mentioned this or not, but he had 6 seizures on saturday, and i think he lost his memory. he does NOT respond to his name anymore. he is not as love-able as before. i just dont know. the aggression has stopped though…
i am getting him bil jac or innova today which is better?
admin answers:
Lol what you are feeding your dog is basically a death sentence. Honestly you could feed your dog dirt from the ground and it would be more nutritious.
I would not recommend home cooked meals, without research you will not be able to balance the nutrition and will do far more harm than good. Just get a high quality dog food, you will feed less, have less health problems and way less poop

Maria asks…
Nutrition topics for adults?
I have been asked to do a 30-minute presentation on nutrition or eating well for a group of teachers. I'm used to appealing to students, not adults. What would be a good topic? They probably already know about the food pyramid and how to read labels. I don't want to talk down to them but also want to make it interesting with a couple of activities. Any ideas?
admin answers:
They may read labels, but be sure to tell them not to believe everything in the ads. Advertisements are there to draw attention, not to inform people so advice these teachers to read the labels properly before buying food products.
Prepare some simple handouts on the food pyramid for them. Sure, most people have some idea of what it looks like, but if they have a copy for themselves they're more likely to read it properly and start following it.
Have you considered talking about the health effects of different foods and food additives? For example, giving a bit of a primer on why too much salt is unhealthy shouldn't be seen as talking down, just being informative. As opposed to just telling them to follow instructions like you would do with kids, explain why they should do listen to you. That ought to give a better response.
I'm not sure activities are a good idea – having been to a talk similar to yours lately (I'm a medical student) they tend to be distracting and people often digress. Your audience is a bunch of teachers, so I don't think giving 30 minutes of attention to you is asking much. You won't need an activity to break things up.
Mark asks…
Metformin – insulin resistance – diet?
I have recently learned that I am insulin resistant. I have a torn SI joint that has prevented much physical activity for alot of years. Finally I decided to deal with the issues, get some weight off, and fix the problems, instead of masking them.
My Dr has prescribed Metformin for insulin resistance, and restricted all physical activity except Aquafit (which I have been to everyday). My question is that he wanted me to cut 60% of starch intake. I didn't eat badly to start with, and joined one of these food tracker sites. it says I have not consumed any starches, with the exception of a condensed soup one day. other than that it has been 0g everyday, and I really havent changed anything, and the things I did change, werent being counted as starch anyway.
Im really confused. I can read labels, but dont really understand what I am supposed to be watching for. Please help.
Thank you for your input. I will change my tracker to see how that works. The site does an estimate of what you should be consuming of Fat, Carb, and protien. I am around half or less of the suggested carb intake as well. and usually fairly close with the protein and fat. How many grams of carbs is reasonable for someone with insullin resistance (diabetes)? the recommended is about 170 to 250, and I think my max day was 108. Is that too much?
I dont eat rice or potato. maybe whole wheat egg noodles 1-2 times a week, which is more like 0-1 times a week since I have been trying to reduce "starches" and maybe 2 slices of whole grain toast in a week, if that. I have always tried to make a point of staying away from anything made with white flour. This is why I am confused. I appreciate all you have said, but I need more. thank you
sorry, just wanted to mention that I am getting about 30 or more grams of fiber per day. Is that enough?
admin answers:
Today is your lucky day. Heres the easiest way to eat for a diabetic or for that fact for everyone to eat. It should be your bible for eating for life.
This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a true international effort of testing around the world.
The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.
The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.
Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.
Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. Carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney's Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.
The Glycemic Load is the really important one. All the diets combined cannot top this one. You will actually enjoy eating. With no guilt.
Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Add it to your coffee, oatmeal, smoothie, or wherever you find it palatable.
If you already suffer from diabetes, be sure to stay on a regular schedule with your cinnamon usage so that your blood sugar levels don't yo-yo.Use the same amount at the same time every day so that you can get a sense of how cinnamon affects your own personal blood sugar readings.
Use the powdered spice or a cinnamon stick. Cinnamon pills are also available, and can be found easily via an online search. MHCP is water soluble and is not found in cinnamon oil.
Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I've found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa's site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at http://www.mendosa.com/acidic_foods.htm .

New Girl
Top 14 New Girl Quotes From Season 1, Episode 8, "Bad in Bed": "This Starfish Is Hungry"
Even if this was a list of the top 100 quotes from the New Girl episode "Bad in Bed" we'd still have trouble whittling it down to our absolute favorites. The FOX comedy is just that funny.
But we've accomplished the impossible, so prepare to pee your pants. Again.
14. Those are voices...
Jess (Zooey Deschanel), in an olden-timey voice to Paul (guest star Justin Long): Hello, weather service. Oh, there's a heat wave from Portsmouth to Port Kansas.
Paul: What is happening?
Jess: We're talking dirty, Slim.
Paul: Oh, OK, you want me to do a voice... [in Jimmy Stewart voice] I'm so happy to be here! You look ravishing in your netting contraption.
13. Jess puts a new twist on the old Nike slogan
Jess, to herself in the mirror: Hey, Tiger, you're having sex tonight. Don't give me that look: Just do it.
12. Dr. No-She-Didn't!
Schmidt (Max Greenfield), to his overly ambitious co-worker as she walks away: Are you, like, a Bond villain? You just told me your whole plan.
11. Not a bonnet
Jess, who has a pair of lacy panties on her head: Mr. Darcy's going to love my new bonnet.
10. Clock's a-ticking, fellas
Jess, to the guys: Help me, guys. I have 15 minutes. Teach me how to be good at sex.
9. And he was listening, why?
Schmidt, to Nick (Jake Johnson): I used to listen to you and Caroline all the time in college. It was like listening to a rescue crew try to communicate with a stranded miner. "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "Are you OK?" "Yeah."
8. She's sounds quite talented
Jess, on a porno: My main thing that I took away was gosh, that young lady can really multitask.
7. Please don't try to talk dirty, Jess
Jess, while playing with her new starfish lingerie: I hope Paul's packing some coral polyps, because this starfish is hungry.
6. Correct, Paul
Jess, to Paul: Tomorrow night, let's just out to dinner and then let's just nail each other. Just pound each other. [points to Paul] V-bomb on the p-bomb [points to herself].
Paul: I would have the p-bomb, right?
5. "Searching for some syrups"? What?
Jess, to the guys: Heads up, Paul's coming tonight... and I just want to tell you that I'm gonna tap him like a maple tree. I'm gonna be searching for some syrups. I'm going to be having sex with him.
4. It certainly doesn't come off easy
Paul, on Jess's starfish lingerie: It's like an erotic rope course.
3. All this tree imagery is disturbing
Jess, to Paul: I'm gonna split you like a log!
2. Poor girl
Jess: Everything I learned about sex I learned from Spencer or the Clinton impeachment trials.
1. That's not at all what they say
Schmidt, at his boss's baby shower: Hey, ladies. What are you guys talking about?
Schmidt's boss: Afterbirth.
Schmidt: Afterbirth. That's, like, the party you guys have after you have the baby...
Schmidt's boss: Sort of.
Schmidt: I'd like to be invited to that. You know what they say: "An afterbirth ain't an afterbirth without some Schmidt up in there."

Good quality
By Kevin
from Fort Worth Texas
See all my reviews
This bag works well for me. I carry an inflator and two cartridges, a tube, tire levers, my wallet, car keys, and a couple of power bars in it. It's not too big though. It does have the feature where you can use it configured in a smaller size, or unzip a zipper and it gets bigger. I think another reviewer called it a turtle head feature. That's an apt description. Good bag for the money. I know all the cool roadie guys refuse to run bags like this but I like being self sufficient out on the road and not having to call for help if I get a flat.
nice, but smaller than expected
By Kevin the PT
from Davenport, IA
Very nice. Turned out a bit smaller than anticipated. Seems very durable otherwise. Fastens with straps all the way around so good for support, but I've had them wear out due to weather on other models.

Awesome Pack
By Jim "the Redneck"
from Pomona, Kansas (aka God's Country)
Yee Haw this was a great purchase! I thought it was going to be too big but after receiving it I am happy, happy, happy. It expands to a pretty large size if need be but I'm thinking it will most likely remain like a turtle with it's head pulled in. Plenty of room for big 'ole 29er tube and levers and such. Expanded out can even fit a flask, knife, tools and other needed items...super easy install and good quality.
great seat bag
By george
from Alachua, Florida
Size is right, fits my bike well, seems to be of good quality.
It works
By Mike
from Orkney Springs, VA
I bought this to replace a cheapo Bell tail bag that I have used for several years. This bag seems well made and as always if you watch Nashbar you can score free shipping or a really deep discount.
topeak makes great products
By bikelooker65
from Kings Beach CA
needed a bag that could hold two mtn bike tubes, air canisters and other esssentials, is not too big and attaches easily. This definitely fits the bill.
Great bag for the money
By jgoeke
from Seattle
Great bike bag and cheap. big enough to hold spare tube and such, small and light enough not to notice. I have two now on both bikes! :-)

Exactly what I hoped for!
By Don
from Kettering, OH
My bikes look to good for the old "hang down" seat bags I was using from 20 years ago. This bag tucks neatly under the saddle and doesn't flop around. Just the right volume for repair tools and wallet phone. Extender allows for the unusual item now and then.

Hang tight!
Recipe by JJOHN32
"Serve this baked crustless cake - a mixture of blue cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream - as an impressive appetizer."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese
2 cups
blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup
sour cream
1/3 teaspoon
ground white pepper
1 1/4 cups
sour cream
red bell pepper, halved and deseeded
green onion
I used a mix of GORGONZOLA and Danish Blue cheese. I chopped up a large red pepper and lots and lots of green onions. I covered the entire cake with this mixture pressing it all firmly into the cake. Made it look FABULOUS and it tastes better with the vegetables in every bite. You may even want to scatter a lot around the cake so guests can scoop up extra onto their plate. I made one for three people and HALF of it was gone in an hour.
This is a perfect recipe and everyone LOVES IT! I have made 7 of them to date and find these minor adjustments to the recipe give it that exceptional edge thats right for any occasion where an unusual appetizer is desired. You dont get a blue cheesecake everyday! Really good with large sesame encrusted breadsticks!
Very bland. I love blue cheese and I couldn't even tell there was blue cheese in it. All we could taste was sour cream/cream cheese and the peppers and green onions which we covered the top of the cheesecake in as other reviewers suggested...I'd rather have a nice cheese platter with crackers then go through the work/chill time for something so bland.
16 Ratings
I served this at a holiday party and everyone was asking for the recipe! I arranged the green onion into a Christmas tree and red pepper chunks as ornaments; on top of the cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe!
Great appetizer. My guests loved it. I scaled it down to four servings and baked it in a 6" springform pan. The baking time has to be adjusted for the smaller quantity and I just checked it periodically until it appeared to be done. I took another reviewer's suggestion and chopped red pepper and green onion to put all over the top, and I used thin strips of green onion as a garnish. I too liked the veggie bits in each bite. Definitely something different, attractive and good.
I have made this nearly a dozen times now... I've tried it the way the recipe describes but prefer it served warm without sour cream or veggies on top. It's so good warm on crackers or bread. It's a perfect easy bake and take for parties, and I have been asked for this recipes so many times!
Very tasty. A 9 inch cheesecake appetizer goes a LONG way. As delicious as it was, I had a lot of leftovers.
My Mother-in=law gave me this recipe years ago and I finally tried it. I thought it odd to put sour cream on top after removing from the oven and then refrigerating until ready to eat. I found this matching recipe online and discovered the missing step. The cake sat for a good 20 minutes before it went back in the oven. It turned out great with chopped fresh chives on top. I even used low fat cream cheese and low fat sour cream. Served with Kashi crackers and some Gorgonzola crackers from Trader Joe's. Pretty good and quite easy.
This first time I made this I dropped the springform pan taking out of the oven and cried. My husband came in to help me clean it up as we were preparing for a party. We both ate the majority of the mess and it was so good that I now make this, but am super careful taking it out of the oven.

We welcome a concerted effort against illegal wildlife trade says Uhuru
President Uhuru Kenyatta has welcomed the decision by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) to scale up efforts against the illegal trade in wildlife.
The President said the illegal trade is a threat to Kenya's heritage and impedes security.
"Your stern response to the menace assures us that our concerns have been heard," President Kenyatta said.
In turn, the Head of State said, Kenya will firmly fight the illegal trade, saying he looked forward to the success of the new partnership in curbing the vice.
President Kenyatta made the remarks when he officially closed the United Nations Environment Assembly at the UN Complex in Gigiri, Nairobi. The meeting was attended by more than 160 ministers of environment and 1200 delegates.
He said the Government will also mainstream ecosystem-based adaptation in the national development agenda to protect the environment, create jobs, safeguard human health and promote equity.
The President thanked UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for being a rock of support for the initiatives which were realised in the first sitting of UNEA.
Affirming the Government's commitment to UNEP, the President assured the global environmental organization of Kenya's support to its goals and ideals.
"In the battle to consolidate the legacy of Rio, and to protect the environment on which we all depend, you can be sure that Kenya will remain UNEP's firm ally," President Kenyatta said.
He noted that by establishing a high-level political forum on sustainable
development, UNEP has created the political space needed to coordinate and effect the practice of sustainable development.
"Of special interest to us all is the work you have done on sustainable development goals and the agenda for development in the years to come," he said.
Speaking during the occasion, the UN Secretary General commended President Kenyatta for playing a leading role in promoting environmental initiatives.
"I thank the people and Government of Kenya for their support to the work of the United Nations in Kenya. We are proud to work with you," said the UN Secretary General.
He noted that currently governments are in agreement that a healthy environment is necessary for eradicating poverty and supporting equitable economic growth and social progress.
"We are now poised for the crucial next phase of human development – a universal post-2015 sustainable development agenda. That agenda needs a strong voice for the environment – and now it has it, thanks to the wisdom of UN Member States meeting in 2012 at the Rio +20 UN Summit meeting on Sustainable Development," he said.
Earlier, President Kenyatta held talks with the UN Secretary General on the sidelines of the conference before the closing ceremony.
Later, the President and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta hosted the delegates for dinner at the UN Complex grounds.

The bearings were more expensive than the bolts, Rod bearings,Rod bolts
and crank bearings 281.00.....There has to be a cheaper way than
Genuine Kawasaki....
Keith Neuens - Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - 10:41 pm
There is a mail order house www.cycle-parts.com. They ask to to e-mail
them the OEM part numbers that you are looking for and they will mail
you back a quote. The prices are better than Kawasaki but the good part
is you are buying genuine Kawasaki parts. I have ordered from them, the
only item is a 2-3 week delivery as they do not stock and there is a
minimum order ($100 I think).

For the PJ1 paint try Dennis Kirk motorcycle accessories it is called
Fast Black high gloss.This stuff is the best! I use it on all my
engines and it will not fade and stays shiny for years.
James McGee - Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 05:13 pm Help! Im now ready
to put the cases back together . the book says the balancer shaft has
to set in a certain way, But it dosent say how the crank has to set in
relation to it, the gears go toghther so I figure it has to matter. any
Roland Tamaccio - Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 08:42 pm
Jim, you might wqnt to leave it out.
James McGee - Monday, November 17, 2003 - 06:22 pm
That was my first intention but was told to keep it since I will be force feeding her...
Roland Tamaccio - Monday, November 17, 2003 - 09:28 pm
Jim, seek another opinion. BTW, some pressure on the intake stroke will tame 'er somewhat.
Keith Neuens - Monday, November 17, 2003 - 10:47 pm
If you want to keep the balancer the procedure for setting it is: The
balancer weight is installed 180 degrees from the mark on the gear
located near the rubber dampers. The balancer shaft has a line on the
end of it. Make sure it points to the front and clamp the arm. Start
engine and let it idle, loosen clamp and turn balancer shaft
counterclockwise until balancer gear makes noise, turn the shaft
clockwise unti the noise goes away and tighten the clamp.
If you want to get rid of the balancer, which I do in all my race
engines then all is needed is to plug the oil hole to prevent oil from
getting into shaft. The oil entered on the far end of shaft and was
transmitted back to lubricate balancer weight. I weld them shut. I can
send you a diagram if you're interested. This is worth a couple HP.

I can see a much younger me twenty years ago, breathing deeply and thinking about that next class in less than an hour. In making the career change from television journalism to teaching, I was confident I could handle the more "predictable" classroom. But now, faced with the reality, I was thinking, "Barb, What did you get yourself into?" And then having acknowledged what I did not know, the real process of becoming a teacher began. We are always learning. As chair of a committee recommending the revision of our transfer degree graduation requirements the last three years, we all read widely on general education before we could contribute. My students teach me every day about effective teaching and learning strategies. I tap into their individual talents and motivate them to keep reaching higher in their education.I model intellectual curiousity and being a life-long learner. In doing so, I acknowledge I am always in the process of becoming, just as they are.

There's a small slice of Cincinnati on Spring Mountain Road that just might serve the best bar food in town. Schuler's Roadhouse is the joint--and a better menu of cholesterol-rich fare is hard to find. In a town with an insatiable appetite for forgettable chicken fingers, atrocious onion rings and noxious nachos---schulers roadhouse has the audacity to break this mouldy mold of trite and true bar specialities with flown in food from one of our countries bastions of unique cuisine.
Having once lived near the Queen City--whose symbol happens to be a flying pig of all things--I can attest to the wonderful and idiosyncratic food of this southern Ohio town. Schuler's imports most of these Cincinnati specialties like Montgomery Inn Ribs, Skyline Chili and Coney Dogs ---which---are served on super-soft buns laden with the aforementioned chili and shredded cheese so the whole gooey mess melts in your mouth.
This is quintessential pub grub and it's perfect for soaking up one of 21 draft beers offered here. If that selection seems slim--go for one of the 71 beers by the bottle. The decor may remind you of Britain, but the food takes me straight back to southern Ohio --- where I whiled away my law school days chowing down on 3, 4 or 5 Ways, (which is thick spaghetti covered with chili, cheese, onions or beans) depending on how gassy one wants to get. That Cincinnati chili is also one of a kind. It's to Cincinnati what the bagel is to New York. It's a rare treat and thanks to Schuler's Roadhouse, you can finally taste what all the fuss is about. But don't say I didn't warn you….once you get addicted to 4 ways and coney dogs, you might give up on reheated chicken wings forever.

Today I delve into a whirlwind of deadlines for Cannes reviews, although the festival has been rolling now for two days, which probably translates into a couple of years around these parts. In a week's time, I'll have produced a flurry of reactions to individual parts of the program, but a few others are already in the thick of it. Aaron Hillis, admirably taking on the role at Moving Pictures that I held last year, has been tirelessly churning out reactions to everything from "Robin Hood" to the first few competition films. I think he's too kind to Almaric's "On Tour" (a thinly conceived narrative whose lovely subjects do more work than the filmmaker), but Cannes, of course, is all about dissenting opinions. Slant's Matt Noller has also composed a good early Cannes dispatch.
I'm sure there are plenty other critical reactions worth including here, but I split a cab from the airport with these guys, and the trio of us endured Im Sang-soo's confounding "The Housemaid" remake yesterday, so they're the most natural place for me to start. Stay tuned for the onslaught of reviews.
