Lana McGilvray (@LanaMcGilvray): February 2011 Archives
Wow! The first quarter of 2011 has been a busy and exciting one as I've had the opportunity to constantly collaborate across key IAB committees focused on measurement standards, consumer transparency and other best-practice based initiatives. In many cases, I was one of the welcome recipients of the fruits of our cross-industry labor. In other cases, issues we are addressing through our IAB membership highlighted the fact that not everyone in our "industry" is on the same page around key issues, such as how to count or measure digital audiences and/or the best approach to empowering consumers. The beauty is that the IAB served as a good meeting place and forum to discuss everything. To that point, because of the collaboration, we are making progress.
At a sub-committee level, I recently assumed the chair position for the IAB email committee. I've been very impressed by the work of the committee and am so excited about the current project.
This quarter, the email committee, a cross-functional working group that includes members from over a dozen publishers, vendors and agencies including Erik Kokkonen from CBS Interactive and Chris Ambrosio from ValueClick Media, is at the tail end of producing an addendum to the 4A's/IAB Standard Terms and Conditions for Interactive Advertising 3.0. Why the addendum? As many of the committee members realized, when the blue-chip companies they represent adopted the original Terms and Conditions, although the best practices were extremely valuable for those engaged in Interactive Advertising for Media Buys, they didn't translate well or address the specific requirements of email and performance-based advertising campaigns. The committee decided to fix this by drafting a highly practical addendum that specifies Ts and Cs for these scenarios. While it might sound easy, it wasn't. In fact, once this document is done we will really have attorneys like Tanya Tan from ValueClick Media & Steven Vine from Datran Media and business leaders like Tara Aiken from Perform Line to thank for making sure that the Ts and Cs are meaningful; specific enough to be of value and broad enough to promote business versus stalling it.
Right now, the Ts and Cs document is receiving final committee tweaks. It will then go live for public comment. Post comment, key change requests will be included, and the Ts and Cs will be issued for industry use.
Sound interesting? While I am guessing there's not going to be a mad rush to a committee that delights in ensuring nuances like this are defined, if you are one of the special few, please do email [email protected] to join our efforts. We'd love to have you on board.
Lana McGilvray is Vice-President, Marketing for Datran Media and chair of the IAB Lead Gen/Email Committee. You can reach her via email or follow her on Twitter @LanaMcGilvray.

Female-specific design, beginner-friendly flex.
Don't settle for bargain-basement bindings just because you're starting out or only have limited funds for next shred season. Instead, pick up a set of Ride Women's LXH Snowboard bindings for a soft, beginner-friendly flex and a Ladies Specific Design that's ergonomically contoured to female riders. Built off a Spectrum polycarbonate chassis, the LXH forgoes overly stiff materials for a forgiving ride that helps you progress your board-control skills. Its Compact disc mounts to 4-hole and channel systems for added versatility, should you buy a board from a different manufacturer than Ride.
Most impressive at this price point, Ride equipped the LXH with a LuxLite highback that's shorter to accommodate female riders. This is going to give you the proper support for leaning into heelside turns, and there's tool-less forward lean for dialing in proper response on the slopes. Continuing the trend of trickled-down tech from Ride's high-end offerings, the binding's Wedgie footbed gives you subtle canting for enhanced comfort, especially on your knees. This subtle canting also helps you exert more pressure over your edges, helping you power into turns easier, especially if you ride a rockered board. In addition, there's a super-cush RAD ankle strap for pinch-free comfort and a boot-conforming ThinGrip toe strap for better response. Both of these straps have tool-less adjustability for easy centering on the mountain.

CrockPot Granola Recipe
Day 315.
I found oats! yay! They were hiding out at the fancy-pants grocery store.
We were all quite pleased with this granola, and have eaten almost all of it already. The kids and Adam ate a bunch warm, right out of the pot. I'm making some more today.
There's no right or wrong way to make granola. Feel free to switch around ingredients depending on your family's tastes/wishes.
The Ingredients.
- 5 cups oats (if gluten free, make sure the oats are certified GF.)
- 1/4 cup honey * (see note below)
- 1/4 cup melted butter * (see note below)
- 1 T flax seeds
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (I used raisins and cranberries)
The Directions.
Put all the dry ingredients into your crockpot. You'll need at least a 4 quart.
Melt the butter in the microwave, and add. Add the honey. Toss well.
*note: if you add this amount of honey and butter, the granola will be cereal-like, and not trail-mix like. If you'd rather the granola clump together in pieces, you'll need to add more honey and butter. I tried it with the honey and butter doubled (1/2 cup each) and it still didn't clump much--so if you'd prefer your granola that way, you'll need to add at least 3/4 cup of honey. I didn't want that much sugar, and my kids are cool with eating it like this.
Cover, but vent with a chopstick. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, stirring every so often.
If you can smell the granola cooking, go stir. It will burn if you don't keep an eye on it. But it won't burn as quickly as it does in the oven!
(ask me how many batches of granola I've had to throw out after burning in the oven. go ahead, ask. )
7. at least 7. I am no good with the oven.
Dump out on some parchment paper and let cool. Eat with milk like cereal, warmed with milk like oatmeal, or as is. Seal well in an air-tight container or in a ziplock. Granola freezes well.
The Verdict.
This is one of the only times I haven't burnt granola, and my kids have been eating it non-stop since the first batch came out of the crock. I'm going to go have some more right now.
The Thanksgiving recipes start tomorrow! I'm so excited.

We love homemade granola, but I hate making it. This sounds easy! I like to add wheat grem but not sure if that is a GF thing to do or not.

I make granola in the oven and burn it almost every time, but my kids love granola, one of them asking this weekend if I'd make it. I can't wait to try it in my cp.
I may be asking for another cp for Christmas!

Can't wait to try this...thanks! One question. You have 1/4 cup slivered almonds listed twice. did you mean that or should it be something else? Thanks! Lisa

I'll have to try this. My mom used to make us granola all the time as kids, but I've never made it for mine. :( I think my mom put peanut butter in hers. Any idea on what the ratio would be with that?

I have really enjoyed reading your blog. I think you are a great writer and are a joy to read. I just wanted to mention that you can order Certified GF rolled oats from Amazon.com. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Nature-Certified-Gluten-free-44-Ounce/dp/B0010P9JNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1226332972&sr=1-1 I don't know if this is a better price than you're getting at your local "fancy pants" grocery store, but figured it was worth mentioning.
And, BTW, my aunt told me that when making peanut brittle, you have to be careful of the weather. I think she said it wouldn't set up if there is too much humidity. FWIW...
Thanks for a great blog!

My crockpot only has a "low" setting. Will that work at all?

I have a similar crockpot granola recipe (we add dried cranberries) but mine never gets dry enough. But I see your "chopstick" in the cooking time and I will have to try this! Thanks again for all of the trials and errors you do for this!
- November 10, 2008 at 8:28 AM
- Liz said...
You can also use real maple syrup instead of honey (I like syrup flavor better) and vegetable oil instead of butter. We do ours with walnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, and wheat germ. Yum! Will have to try the crockpot recipe...

I can't wait to try this. I just did a big shopping trips and have all kinds of dried fruits in the pantry.

I love your blog. Have you ever tried replacing the butter with frozen apple juice consentrate. I have a low fat recipe that suggests this. Its worked out pretty well for me in the oven.
- November 10, 2008 at 8:48 AM
- La Rêveuse said...
I've had good luck with the clumpiness and non-burning when adding peanut butter (oven granola). You might want to try it. (Plus, it tastes awesome.) Then add chocolate chips, too. And maybe some marshmallow cream. And how about caramel topping?
(Diet, day one. Can you tell?)

I like mine with vanilla yogurt or fruit yogurt. Yummmmm.
Thanks so much for ALL the recipes!

I add peanut butter to mine when I make it in the oven. I use an entire container of oatmeal because we are feeding 7 and it goes quick.
When I do that I forgo the butter and add an 18 oz jar of pb.
I also add coconut.
Did your dried fruit turn out hard. Mine always hardens terribly in the oven and I add it after it comes out.

I always make granola in the oven...I've never even considered using the Crock Pot!
I'm so frusterated because we got hooked on the GF granola supplied by our local grocery store here in Wasilla, but they've not reordered it since I bought the last package off the shelf. Now we're all DYING for them to restock! (If I drove about an hour away, I could find some WAY overpriced gf oats at a store there...) SO...SOMEDAY I'll be able to try this in the CP.

- Steph said...
Oh, I'm so good at burning granola too! I'll have to try this recipe! By the way, I made a killer pre-thanksgiving turkey dinner last night IN THE CROCKPOT! I was so excited! It turned out so juicy and tender! I kept telling everyone "I made it in the crockpot!" You truly are an inspiration.
- November 10, 2008 at 11:31 AM
When I burn the granola, I tell the kids it's "toasted." ;) For clumpier (is that a word?) granola, I pulse half the oats in the food processor before adding them to the mix. It helps to bind everything together.
- November 10, 2008 at 11:38 AM

do the oats need to be Rolled oats.. can I use quick oats instead?

Yumm...... I have been wanting some homemade granola with yogurt....I may have to get the supplies to make this it sounds so easy! Thanks!

I just found your blog and I am in heaven! The crock pot is my BEST FRIEND. I hope you don't mind, I put a link to your blog on mine 'cause I have many friends who would benefit from the wealth of your knowledge. (If you do, leave me a comment and I'll remove it!!) My FAVORITE crock pot cookbook is "101 Things to do with a slowcooker" by Stephanie Ashcroft.

You totally ROCK! I am so excited to make this on the weekend! I love, love, LOVE that my kids can be more involved with making this and I don't have to freek out about them burning themselves (and the granola) as much while stirring it.
I am making your GF play dough right now, by the way... Guess who is one of the people are that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving? Thank you for all you do!

Shirley sent me here. I love your blog! Great recipes, great conversation, great photos, great sense of humor! What more could you ask for?!
I love granola and make my own as well, but have never tried it in a crockpot. Hmmm? You're giving me new inspiration!
- November 10, 2008 at 2:37 PM
- Shirley said...
Can't wait to try this recipe, Stephanie. I think granola is always such fun because everyone has their own variations, but they are ALL good! I will make mine with honey for sure as we have our own honeybees (such hard workers those guys! LOL). Just remember that honey should not be given to kids under 1 if you use honey. (Unlikely anyone would feed a child that young granola, but wanted to mention that.)
Looking forward to the Thanksgiving recipes, too. I've been doing my turkey in the crockpot for years now. I have two favorite recipes that always awe everyone, so I am excited to see what yours will be!
- November 10, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Granola is a great thing to send to the troops if you package in single serving ziploc bags. The teachers I work with just sent a care package to a husband who is serving in Iraq. They loved it!

The grain-free (gf) granola recipe on Elana's Pantry uses raisins soaked in water that are pureed to help everything bind. And it's a natural sweetener!

Just thought you might like to know that you can order gluten free oatmeal from amazon. My favorite is Lara's. Amazon actually has a lot of gluten free products and if you order $25,- you can get free shipping. Doesn't get much better than that!
Fantastic blog with awesome recipes!! Thanks for all your hard work.

Love love love your site. I just discovered it a few weeks ago and I've been in crockpot heaven ever since. I am pregnant and I have zero energy after 5pm. I have to do my cooking in the am or my kids eat frozen dinners every night. I have kids the same age as yours. Thanx a billion for all the recipes and the special note on what your kids thought. Very helpful.

I have never had the inclination to make granola before (though I LOVE eating it). As usual, you have inspired me!
I haven't commented in a long, long time, but I wanted you to know that I read you EVERY day. I am still loving this "project" and has made a difference in my home!

I am SO annoyed that I only found you last week!
First, this granola sounds fabulous.
Secondly, we had the three-packet roast tonight and it was wonderful over buttered egg noodles - my kids devoured it. I don't even have enough roast left over to make burritos.
Thirdly (and lastly) the sweet potatoes with pecans and pretzels were a bit hit as well (although mine didn't disappear as yours did, but I just crushed them with my hands).
Thank you for doing this!

Ooh, this is such perfect timing. I just got some oats for free with my publix penny coupon.

Hi Stephanie, I just discovered your blog when doing some research for a post I made this evening on my blog. I love what you're doing with the crockpot recipes and can't wait to explore all the days.
Here's the link to my blog where I've talked about you.
- November 10, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Yeah! I am so glad you made the granola!
One thing we did different was to use a light tasting oil instead of the butter.
We also just left the lid off and stirred it often.
It was the best cereal we have had in, forever?
- November 10, 2008 at 7:57 PM
What a fantastic idea to make granola in the cp. I bet cinnamon and nutmeg would be great additions to your recipe. I think the granola would be great on the yogurt you made in the cp a few weeks back!
- November 11, 2008 at 6:32 AM
I made this last night. Hubby loves granola for breakfast, but I have about 0.0 time to make homemade and the store stuff is way too expensive. It was delicious! I just used oatmeal, flax seed, butter/honey. It was wonderful and my house smelled sooooo good! Thanks again for saving my budget! up next: yogurt!
- November 11, 2008 at 8:25 AM
- Amydeanne said...
Going to have to try this one, we did the yogurt this week and my kids love it, though it's fairly runny.. i'm wondering if a longer cooktime? would make a difference?
- November 11, 2008 at 8:26 AM
- Amy said...
2 questions...
What exactly am I supposed to do with that chopstick?
Can you make granola with quick-cooking oats?
- November 12, 2008 at 7:22 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hi Amy,
put the lid on the crockpot, and then open it a bit and put a chopstick or wooden spoon in between the lid and the stoneware so the lid is vented a bit. You want the steam to escape.
If you only have quick oats in the house, I'm sure they're fine. They aren't as hearty as rolled or steel-cut, but should taste the same.

i've been lurking for awhile, i must confess, but i love yoiur site and wanted to tell you! i made 4 (yes, 4) recipes of your granola yesterday and today, and my gang loves it! i din't have honey, so i used maple syrup instead, nad it's great. we also used currants, and i added tiny marshmellows when it was done. (can't be too healthy, you know!) keep up the great work!

Wah! I don't (usually) burn granola in the oven. Guess I should have known better than to mess with a good thing. Granola in the CP did NOT work out for me! It's burnt and moist. I'm trying to dry it in the turned off oven overnight, and if that doesn't work, I may actually have to cook it a bit more in there in the morning. :(

I subscribe to your blog because I love crock pot recipes! I tried your granola recipe today...I love it! Although, a few things I learned. I didn't need to stir it very much the first two hours. However, that last hour, I really should have been stirring it about every 5 minutes (seriously). I got sidetracked in my son's bedroom and didn't stir and I ended up slightly burning the granola. My crock may cook hotter, but that was my experience. I used flax seed meal instead of the seeds and it was fine. For the fruit, I used dried blueberries - which was fabulous! I will definitely be making this a lot throughout the winter, and I expect it to get better and better the more I do it! Hooray for an inexpensive granola recipe!

I just finished making this. It's currently spread out on a piece of parchment to cool. Of course, I've already been into it, and it's delicious!! I omitted the pumpkin send because I couldn't find them in the grocery, so I added some extra almonds. I also went with all dried cranberries, because they're my favourite. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! I can't wait to have it over yogurt in the morning!

HOW FRUSTRATING!!! I wanted to make this *so* badly but everything went wrong.
I was angry and wanted something sweet but there's nothing int he house and my SO wasn't ready to go out. So I decided to make homemade granola from crockpot 365. I took the LAST of the brown sugar, close to last of the peanut butter, oil and close to the last of the honey and melted it together, then poured it over the oats in the crock pot. IN THE MEANTIME, while I started the stuff melting, my infant flipped out and needed me to hold her, then my toddler woke up and needed to be settled and finally, when I had him just settled enough to pour it, the DOORBELL rang, the toddler started sceaming and the baby GRABBED the edge of the crockpot and pulled, dumping boiling oil and sugar in our direction. I LEAPED away from it, not having any way to save it, ran for the door abandoning the mess, and it was a delivery truck with a package for SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE!!!!
I scrounged up ingredients for a second batch but it's got a lot less pb and only white sugar (no brown left and all the remaining honey was crystallized). I didn't even bother measuring this time, I was so disgruntled.
The bad news is that I couldn't find the correct lid for the crockpot, but the good news is that it automatically vents, since it's slightly too small and one edge broken off.

woah, Sandra! What a crappy day! My fingers are crossed that the rest of the day turns around and this becomes quite humorous...
- December 11, 2008 at 2:19 PM
I just wanted to say you are a pretty awsome mom. I'm guessing cooking meals for your family isn't very optional, given your daughter's special diet. You took something drab (like cooking every. single. meal.) and made it a fun challenge as well as easier on you (using a CP so you don't have to stand over a stove all day. brilliant.)
I'm a brand new CP user. Got one for Christmas. Wasn't too sure what to do with it. Then I remembered seeing you on RR! So GOOGLE and Volia`!
So far I've made chicken parm (ate it two meals in a row!) and this granola, improvised.
I used oats my hubbs grandma gives me. I have so much I could swim in them and I don't really eat oats. This is a very creative and delicious way to use oats! Too bad mine burned. Yes. Even in the CP.
I guess I am not used to cooking in it. I stirred A LOT. Only cooked 2 hours on low. Now I'm headed to read your link about cp's cooking too high/too fast...
- January 2, 2009 at 6:57 PM
- Liz said...
A tip for making it clump while still keeping it healthy. Add about 1/2 cup of applesauce or pears (I used a Gerber Stage 2 Pears (3.5oz) I had left over from my daughter's baby food days)when you add the honey/oil and it will provide enough moisture to make it "clumpy".
- January 14, 2009 at 9:34 AM
What I learned when I did this... cook on low as at about 2h15m mine was plenty done when I used the high setting. I chopped up almonds, pepitas and left the sunflower seeds whole. Added wheat germ, dried cranberries and sweetened coconut (what I found at the store)... Mine is not clumpy at all, so next time I will try peanut butter or the applesauce tips. Great suggestions!

That looks so great. I am new to this blog, but I'm also a lover of my crockpot. In fact, I just bought myself a smaller 2 quart crock for those days when the other one is too big. I think for tonight I'll make the sloppy joe stuff in the small crock pot! Hooray!

I figured out a recipe that is not only gluten-free like yours but casein-free as well. Thought you might like it! I really appreciate the link for the yogurt recipe, not to mention how much you have helped my cook better for my family.
- March 23, 2009 at 4:14 PM
- Katie said...
Why are some oats gluten-free and others not? Does it have to do with the factory or processing?
I ground about half of our oats to make the granola more clumpy.
We also experimented with adding a little bit of ground black beans for more complete nutrition without the nuts.
- May 29, 2009 at 6:52 PM
- Jenna said...
I love this recipe! I've made lots of variations. Last time, I chopped some trail mix and used it to provide the nuts and dried fruit. It worked well, and was a great way to use up some trail mix from a party. I also like to replace some of the honey with maple syrup.

Okay, so I made the granola tonight, and it burned! I kept an eye on it and stirred it often. I turned it off 45 minutes early, but it's not good. I did use agave in place of honey. Do you think that was the problem? Should I have cooked it on low? Any suggestions?
- August 13, 2009 at 9:34 PM
- Sierra and Jason said...
When Sierra and I made the granola we started out stirring the granola every 30 min. We did that for about an hour and a half then after that it needed to be stirred every 10-15 min. You can smell it getting hot. Its ok if the granola is not completely dark you could remove it from the heat a bit earlier just go for golden. Basically yours should look slightly less dark than the pictures I posted on the link above your post.

Hi... Love lurking on your site, our crockpots often saves my sanity come evening time. Thanks for lots of good suggustions.
We've been making CP granola using a recipe from "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker" (or a title close to that).
Overall, the ingredients are quite similar to your recipe, but the cooking time & method is a bit different.
The recipe we use calls for cooking on high UNCOVERED for 1 1/2 hours then turning to low for another 2 hours. It also suggests frequent stirring. We stir once every 15 - 30 minutes. I've only ended up w/ overly toasty oats once in the last year cooking them this way. (I make at LEAST once a month.)

I had problems with the first batch burning, even though I stirred it regularly. Just made another batch. This time I stirred every 10 minutes, and only let it cook for 2.5 hours. Turned out great!

Just finished cooking my first batch - YUM! Thank you! I just discovered your blog this past week, and I have my two crockpots working for me today - the big one with the granola, and the little one with the BBQ Lil' Smokies! Thank you!!!

Tried making this and started it on high but it was getting too hot after 30 min so did rest on low. Still had to watch it to keep from burning. I did 1/2 c. butter and honey and unsweetened coconut, wheat germ and the recipe as above. I also added one of those snack size apple sauces (like you put in kids lunches) for moisture. Even with the extra honey, butter and apple sauce it did not clump at all. It also tasted bland. I was hoping for a little clump since I use mine more in a trail mix vs. as cereal. I then caramelized some brown sugar and honey and poured on top to get it to clump some.
Next time I will use sweetened coconut, and try more apple sauce or try the peanutbutter. I think the 1/2 c. of butter and honey was a good start without making it too sweet. I don't like store bought granola cuz it is too sweet but even with the 1/2 c. butter & honey it was still missing some sweetness

I made this today and it worked really well. My crock pot is an older model so it took a bit longer on high. I used most of the ingredients as listed, but I think this method would work with a variety of granola recipes.
Sabina (previous comment); I think the remedy for the bland taste is salt, actually, since it sharpens all the flavours. I started with 1/4 tsp, and kept going until it tasted good.

Here's some information regarding using flax seed.
Flax seed meal and oil seems to be an excellent option in cooking and baking. If it is fresh, it has a slightly nutty flavor, is nutritious, full of good fiber, and is easily added to any recipe. I have read several studies that consider it to be stable at temperatures used in baking and frying. However, if you are using it expecting to get any benefit from the Omega 3 Fatty Acids (especially ALA) and accompanying enzymes, heating flax beyond 120F (50C) will almost instantly destroy them. So, when you cook it, while it does not become poisonous, you denature (destroy) all delicate Omega 3s and enzymes. By the way, fresh ground flax or flax oil is best stored in the fridge or freezer, as it will go rancid in a few weeks at room temperature.
So the best result would be to add it after you cook or sprinkle some on just before eating your cereal.
- April 12, 2011 at 1:52 PM
I have made the granola quite a few times, and I would like it a bit more "clumpy" but don't want too much sugar. This last time I substituted the honey for molasses (since I had a huge jug in my cabinet, thanks to hubby running to the store for me). It was so very delicious, more clumpy, and I figure, a bit more iron, too!

I love this recipe! I've used it several times now & much prefer making it in the slowcooker than in the oven.
My changes:
* I use coconut oil instead of butter.
* I sometimes add a little cocoa powder
* I play around with the combination of fruits & nuts to my own personal tastes.
* I add a little LSA for extra nutrition
My only complaint is that I manage to overcook the dried fruit. So next time I will add this in halfway through.
Kids love it. I love it. And great to have a low sugar, real food breakfast option.

OK, so I just tried this today. My crockpot was burning the granola at the edges unless I stirred it every 5 minutes, so I gave up on it and pulled it all out before I ruined the whole batch. I usually do fine with granola in the oven (300F, stir every 20-30 min for 1-2 hrs), so I'm popping mine into the oven to finish it off. I really wanted this to work, but oh well!

Just an fyi: Flax seed, in its raw state, isnt absorded by the body. So make sure that you are grinding your flax seed if you want any nutritional value from it.

Comments about Schalloch Linea 400 Conga with Basket Stand:
This is a very well made drum. Beautifully finished. Problem is that it is NOT a 13 inch Tumba as advertised. It is only a 12 inch drum. The head hoop is a problem when playing: it does not have a rolled edge - it is a straight edge and positioned too close to the playing surface. the result is that it beats up the hands of the player.

Bright red laser shines onto your vehicle to precisely guide you to the correct spot
Helps prevent damage to your car and your garage from faulty parking
Installs easily. Simply attach to your garage ceiling with included hook-&-loop tape or screws. No wiring necessary

Had a single laser unit that worked years till it eventually stayed on, dimmed and finally failed. Have the dual laser unit and very pleased. Beats dodging a tennis ball or barrier type signs. A bit of a pia at initial aiming, since you can't always get the ladder in place for adjustment when the car is parked. Depends on mount location, of course.. YMMVLoads of fun kidding about SWAT teams when friends notice a red dot on their shirt :-)

It seems cheaply made and lights popped when moved too far. Also, for something to be run along garage ceiling to plug in, cord should have been four feet longer as hanging cord with converter to extension is difficult. But, it works and is helpful

Almost works. Lasers stays on for about 5 seconds - not enough time to be effective. The garage door opening or a person walking in the garage activate the laser and constant - human - movement keeps it lit. However, car movement DOES NOT keep the laser activated. Thought that is what it was for.Have integrated it into my security system but not real usefol as a parkng guide.

Thanks for the feedback. The laser should have a factory preset of 20-25 seconds. It sounds like your unit is defective. You are well within the warranty and we will be happy to replace it if you want.

Installed this about 1 year ago. Has performed flawlessly since then. With inexpensive electronics I always worry about cheap construction. Although this device is far from feeling like it's carved from a block of granite, all the plastic parts held up well to the installation and adjustments once installed. It supposedly has a motion detector that turns it off once you leave the garage. I must be very sensitive because it appears to me to be always on.

The third week of preseason football practice offers high school coaches and players a chance to narrow their focus.
"This is more like a regular week in the season," Woonsocket coach Carnell Henderson admitted on Monday. "By the third week, you are trying to get your team into a game mode. We have an Injury Fund scrimmage on Thursday. Scrimmages give your players a chance to get ready for game speed. They don't have coaches in the huddle with them. In scrimmages, the players must make their own checks (audible calls, line blocking, etc.). The defense has to call its own audibles. The scrimmage becomes a chess match for the kids."
Woonsocket, which has won the last two Division II Super Bowls, will face Division III contender Lincoln High in an 8 p.m. Injury Fund scrimmage on Thursday at the Lions' Ferguson Field. Two other scrimmages are scheduled at the same location. Division II's Shea High will meet D-IV Central Falls at 6 p.m. and then Tolman will battle Cumberland at 7 p.m. in a duel between D-II contenders.
Tolman coach Dave Caito, whose 2010 team lost the D-II Super Bowl to Woonsocket, is bringing his team along at a steady pace during preseason drills.
"We're just trying to fine-tune things (in the third week)," he said. "Now that school is ready to begin (on Wednesday), we'll have the kids every day. They've been working hard. We don't really consider our (multiple) offense complicated. But there is a lot of misdirection and our players need to get (repetitions) in practice before they get it down. It's pretty easy to run into our motion guy if someone doesn't know where he's supposed to be."
Tolman returns seven starters on defense, including Seny Samb, Daniel Stubbs, Dion Rubio, Andre Gilbert, Sammy Shalom and Mahmoud Samb. Many of those same players will see action on offense.
"We have Luis Rodrigues and Danny Chika at quarterback," Caito said. "Luis was our starting quarterback last season until he got hurt. Elvis George is our lead running back. Stubbs and Samb are working at fullback. Mory Chika is also working hard in the backfield for us."
Woonsocket and Tolman battled for first place in II-B all last season. Tolman won the regular season game between the two schools 6-0 in early September before Woonsocket turned the tables in the Super Bowl, taking a 14-0 lead at halftime and coasting to a 28-14 victory.
"We didn't come to play," Caito said, reflecting on the Super Bowl loss. "I don't want to take anything away from Woonsocket. They beat us. We did a lot of things right last season. We just didn't play well in the Super Bowl."
Woonsocket returns explosive junior running back Jalen Evans, who rushed for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore. The Villa Novans graduated a slew of senior leaders – Super Bowl MVP Geo Heredia, tackle Manny Heredia, center Desmond Gray, quarterback Kevin Reyes, wide receivers Jessie Charette and Jarome Robinson … the list is pretty long.
"We have a young group," Henderson admitted. "We do have some key players returning. They all need game reps. You can't simulate in practice the speed of an actual game."
Henderson hasn't been able to see his team practice this season after undergoing surgery in July to repair a torn leg tendon.
"The doctor told me it would be three months from the time of the surgery to when I can get rid of the crutches," said the fourth-year head coach. "Our coaching staff has done all the work. They're working by committee. Coach (George) Nasuti is the voice of the program. Tadji Chattman runs the offense. Derek Crinkin takes care of the defense. Coach (John) Marsella is very important to the staff and the program. We've added Brian Bouley to the staff. All of the coaches on the staff have really worked hard.
"When my injury occurred," Henderson said, "I didn't know if I should step down or not. This is a tough injury for me. It's the tendon behind the knee that connects to the quad muscle. Right now, I am hoping my doctor will give me clearance to attend practice. I could get around in a golf cart. I really want to be around the kids."
Dave Caito, when pressed to list a couple of Division II Super Bowl contenders, goes with Mount Hope and Woonsocket.
"They've been there before," he said. "You always have to give Woonsocket respect. They have won the last two Super Bowls. I can't really talk about anyone else because you just don't know much about the other teams at this point in the season."
Modesty prevents Caito from tooting his own team's horn. There's really no need. Tolman has also been a consistent playoff contender in recent years. The Tigers are getting to the point where they reload every season instead of having to rebuild. Caito and his staff have hit upon a winning formula of team speed, aggressive defense and a deceptive offense to baffle opponents.
Tolman, like Woonsocket, can't sneak up on opponents anymore. Everyone is gunning for last year's Super Bowl participants, even if many of the players from those teams have graduated.
After this week's scrimmages, the regular season opens with a non-league slate of games on Sept. 9-10. The regular season begins the following week. And if you're looking ahead, Tolman will visit Woonsocket on Saturday, Sept. 24, for a 1:30 p.m. game at Barry Field.

The woman in the woolen hat mouths the words on the sidewalk in Manhattan's Lower East Side, where Andy Ricker has opened the latest outpost of his Thai-food realm.
She scrunches her face as she reads the sign. Pok Pok?
She mouths the words again, as if satisfied she's got it right. Pok Pok. She moves on.
The funny name of Ricker's restaurant, the latest Portland export to New York's food scene, is just one more oddity here. The question of how many New Yorkers will want to solve the mystery behind the name and actually try the food is key to the success of Portland's most celebrated chef.
Seven years ago, Ricker opened his first Pok Pok in a wooden shack on Portland's Southeast Division Street, with $60 left in his bank account. Nine months ago, he won the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef Northwest Award in what amounts to the Oscars of food. He has opened or co-opened five restaurants in Portland, with a sixth on the way, because he's the white guy who serves the obscure, difficult Northern Thai dishes that native Thai cooks don't dare try on Americans.
Now Ricker is leveraging the whole thing—using $300,000 of his own money and small-business loans—in his bid to become a major player in the nation's toughest culinary scene.
"The time is now to pull the trigger, if you're going to pull the trigger," Ricker says. "Is there a chance I could get my ass handed to me? Of course. New York loves to love and they love to hate."
Ricker's big moment comes as Portland enjoys its own fling with New Yorkers. Our Stumptown coffee is now their coffee. Our TV show is their show. Will our chicken wings be theirs too? Even if you've never eaten Ike's wings, Ricker's gamble is by extension this city's as well.
Succeeding in New York is exponentially harder than succeeding in Portland. It's more expensive, the attention spans are shorter, and restaurateurs are fiercely protective of their territory—both geographic and culinary.
Ricker doesn't just want to survive in New York. He's opening two places at once and wants his restaurant to explode into a chain that will bring Northern Thai street food to all parts of the city.
To succeed, Ricker will need skill and luck. But he may also need to move beyond the intense DIY ethos that made him a success in Portland. He obsessively controlled every detail of Pok Pok to the exclusion of nearly everything else, making quiet but unyielding demands that his people cook Thai food his way.
But if he's going to expand—if he's going to have an empire that spans two coasts—he must grow Pok Pok beyond the point where he can possibly control it.
And that's a place where Andy Ricker has never been before.
Ricker is 48 and looks like Bruce Willis—cold gray eyes, thick jowls, and the intensity of a detective on one last stakeout. He speaks softly but swears so often it's as if he's being paid by the f-bomb.
He arrived in New York as a foodie celebrity. Eater NY, the influential food blog, has wryly dubbed him the "chicken wing messiah." In November, a New York Times freelancer followed him around Thailand. Bon Appétit magazine gave his recipes its center spread in January.
But right now, Ricker doesn't need press. What he needs is a cooking scale.
It's 10 minutes before the restaurant-supply shops in the Bowery close, and Ricker walks double-speed eight blocks west across Manhattan.
"I don't have a life outside the restaurants," he says. "I don't have kids. I don't have any other significant interests. I'm single at the moment, and probably will be for some time. I'm a pretty ambitious guy. I'm in survival mode."
He makes it to the restaurant-supply shop Bari Equipment with five minutes to spare. The store is owned by a manifestly proud Italian family; a framed poster shows Don Corleone holding a slicer and reads, "I'm gonna make you a pizza you can't refuse."
Ricker hunts for a scale amid the aisles of blenders, ovens and plastic ketchup and mustard bottles. The owner asks him the name of his restaurant.
"Pok Pok," says Ricker.
"Pok Pok?"
"Over on Rivington."
"Down Rivington," corrects the owner. "By the bridge."
Ricker chuckles. His restaurant, Pok Pok Wing, is indeed a block from the Williamsburg Bridge. The old guy is marking his turf for the outsider.
New York City's dining market is notoriously tough. The most commonly cited number, first asserted in the 2004 documentary Eat This New York, is that 80 percent of new restaurants in the city fail within five years. A restaurant lasting three years is a marvel.
But many people believe Ricker will make it. "Out-of-town chefs almost always wash out in New York," says New York-based food writer Josh Ozersky, who founded the Grub Street blog and now writes for Time. "They never succeed. They get chewed up and spit out. The city invariably roughs them up pretty good and sends them back to whatever province they came from. But Andy may be the exception."
And he's trying to do it twice.
Pok Pok Wing is in the former Rivington Street location of a Chinese pork-bun restaurant called BaoHaus. Ricker redecorated it himself in a collage of rainbow-colored Thai vinyl albums from a used-record shop in Bangkok.
His second shop is Pok Pok Ny. (In Thai, "Ny"—pronounced "nigh"—means "in the city.") It's on Columbia Street, on the west edge of Red Hook, a Brooklyn neighborhood with handsome brownstones that look like the exterior shots from The Cosby Show. Workers are still putting the place together.
But the unopened shop—cluttered with boxes of papayas, cabbage wedges and roasted peanuts—is currently serving as the prep kitchen for Pok Pok Wing. An employee drives the prepared food across the Manhattan Bridge to Ricker's only open shop. Ricker concedes he'll be lucky if Pok Pok Ny is open by March.
Ricker has already been discovered by Portland expats. During one evening at Pok Pok Wing, a half dozen customers volunteer to the cashier that they knew Ricker's food from Portland.
"My parents live in Northwest Portland," a twentysomething woman says. "I dropped my phone when I found out this was coming here. Now they think I have no reason to visit them."
And Portland has clearly been discovered by New York. Stumptown Coffee now operates a roaster in Red Hook, a half mile from Pok Pok Ny. The Stumptown cafe in the Garment District's Ace Hotel—just like the Portland Ace, but fancier—has Friday-afternoon lines 20 people deep. In March, former Castagna chef Matthew Lightner is opening Altera, a restaurant in Tribeca. The headline of a Grub Street article last September asked, "Is New York About to Become New Portland?"
All of which runs in Ricker's favor. Everything else seems to run against him.
Matt Piacentini, a co-owner of Portland's Ace Hotel restaurant Clyde Common, recently started a New York eatery called the Beagle. He says the Beagle is gaining an industry following ("We're doing extremely well considering none of us is anybody"), but the challenge is immense.
"To put it plainly, there are thousands and thousands of places that are better than you," says Piacentini, who has never met Ricker. "You get absolutely trampled, like a train running over a fly. Right now, everybody's really excited because these legendary chicken wings are coming to town. But how long is it going to be before people say, 'Pok Pok is bullshit. This place in Queens has been doing that for three generations'?"

Renovation work has been going on for quite sometime in downtown Helper.
The outcome will be a 300-seat theatre located in the old Rio building.
The renovation of the building site is part of a campaign that remains ongoing in Helper which will make the Main Street area look appealing, yet historic.
The city recently received a $78,000 grant from the United States Department of Commerce.
The federal grant money is to be used specifically toward renovation efforts of historic buildings.
In Helper, the project will involve the transformation of the old hotel into a new theater.
Since the city received the grant, work has been done to the downtown building.
Although renovation work on the historic building are far from being completed, the Rio is ready to open its doors to the public.
For two nights only, Carbon County residents are encouraged to plan on attending a specially planned variety performance at the theater.
The live entertainment will include music and dancing performed by local school children.
The performances are scheduled to take place Dec. 6 and Dec. 7, approximately 45 minutes prior to Helper's annual electric light parade.
"For quite some time now, we have been working on the theater, but nothing much has been said to acknowledge what has been done. This is a way to let the public come in and see for themselves what has been done to the facility," explained Helper Mayor Joe Bonacci.
Although the seatings not in place, the area is an escape from the cold that accompanies the annual parade.
"Our intent is to open the doors and let the public in to enjoy entertainment from local youth while at the same time, offer shelter from the cold," stated Bonacci.
"The parade offers us the perfect opportunity to attract a crowd and allow them to take a look inside the Rio Theater. Because there has not been much publicity as to what has taken place in the building, this will allow the community to see for themselves that there is work going on," concluded Bonacci.
After the historic preservation project is completed, the Rio will become the home for theatrical performances. It will also capture the distinct history of Helper.

Laced with director Tim Burton's stylish and supernatural flair, the 1999 flick Sleepy Hollow is one of the rare suspenseful films that can inspire the way we dress--and with Halloween on the horizon, we can't think of a better time to channel the movie's darkly romantic looks. The film is loosely based on Washington Irving's famous short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and takes place at the turn of the 19th century, an era that lends itself perfectly to Burton's fantastical macabre scenery and Victoriana-inspired costumes. Thanks to his vision, Sleepy Hollow's as chic as it is creepy, making it the ideal subject of this month's Currently Channeling story.The Cinematic Inspiration
The year is 1799, and police constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) arrives in the town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of brutal decapitations that have plagued the village. Skeptical of claims that the killer is a headless horseman who rises from the grave, Crane sets out to prove otherwise using technology and logic. There's a love story too: as Crane unravels the mystery, he finds himself falling for Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci), the daughter of a prime suspect in the case.
The Sartorial Story
The F/W 12 runways were full of ensembles that mirrored Sleepy Hollow's turn-of-the-century costumes. Gucci's monochrome look--the Black Cashmere Jersey Long Cape ($1960), Black Light Georgette Yoke Shirt ($1295), Black Jacquard Lurex Chenille Riding Pants ($1295), and Elizabeth High Heel Crocodile Riding Boots ($19900)--interprets Crane's somber uniform in a decidedly decadent way. And while there were no corsets or bustles in sight at Sonia Rykiel, the Diana Print Washed Crepe De Chine Dress ($3995, 617.426.2033), Felt Headband ($240, 617.426.2033), Mini Zipped Bowling Abby Bag ($1040, 617.426.2033), and Wedge Pumps ($755, 617.426.2033) exude the beautiful Van Tassel's innocent femininity. Channel the look today with our picks below!
Get The Look
Rag & Bone Kutch Jodhpurs ($695)
Sleepy Hollow's antagonist is a headless horseman, so naturally, you can expect an equestrian reference in today's roundup like this piece that made the cut: Rag & Bone's luxe-looking jodhpurs in herringbone and leather, which would look amazing paired with an oversized, striped blanket coat, per the runway, or with a graphic crew-neck for a less dramatic look.
J.Crew Collection Ainsley High Heel Boots ($450) in Cabernet
Chances are you won't ever have to venture into the Western Woods in search of a sinister apparition. But if you did, J.Crew's burgundy boots would be a sturdy and stylish choice, particularly as the pair comes in one of fall's most popular colors.
DAY Birger et Mikkelsen Ruffled Silk-Chiffon Blouse ($210)
This shirt's romantic frills bring to mind the 19th-century attire Ricci wears in Sleepy Hollow, but the blouse is ideal for a modern-day professional when paired with a slim pencil skirt and pointy-toe pumps.
Topshop Velvet Cross Choker Necklace ($28)
Inject some gothic glamour into your outfit by styling Topshop's choker over a buttoned-up collared shirt.
Gerard Darel Cape Noire ($428)
Depp's uniform throughout the movie largely revolves around a black frock coat, so we're certain he'd approve of Gerard Darel's structured cape jacket. Layer it over a bright cocktail number for a sophisticated boy-meets-girl look.
Free People Floral Mesh Lace Dress ($128) in Black
The lace-like overlay of this dress speaks to the film's gothic style without looking costume-y. It might not be a turn-of-the-century look, but it's certainly head-turning!
Zara Satin And Pearls Box Bag ($90)
Ricci's Van Tassel, who plays the daughter of Sleepy Hollow's wealthiest man, would be all over Zara's ornate clutch. Come holiday season, the boxy bag will serve as an exquisite accompaniment to all your party frocks.
Byredo Rose Noir Body Lotion ($65)
We may not be as lucky (or stunning) as Van Tassel, who earns the affection of Depp's character. But at least Byredo's perfumed lotion, with its musky base notes, lends us a bit of her aura--part wide-eyed innocence, part darkly mysterious.--Tiffany Tse

I have a rescued 4 year old pit bull mix that I rescued from the South. She is sweet as can be but still needs some work in the manners department! She gets VERY excited to see people. I figured I should join this forum to discuss training techniques used (positive reinforcement). I also volunteer with animal shelters and help to spread the word about puppy mills, the positives of spaying and neutering, dog fighting signs and proper treatment of animals, and adoption over purchasing a dog.
I hope to get some great advise and be ale to share stories!

LOWVILLE A Lewis County economic development progress report touts the Lyons Falls revitalization efforts as a prime project.
The highlight of this year continues to be the Village of Lyons Falls and the steps that have been taken in that municipality to revitalize the community and the mill site, states the county Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committees annual progress report for 2012.
The Lewis County Development Corp., which is working to redevelop the former Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper plant as a business park, has contracted with an engineering firm for evaluation of hazardous materials contamination, demolition design and structural analysis using $330,000 in 2011 state funding.
The corporation in December additionally was granted $1 million toward the project, which is expected to cost about $5 million.
The corporation also sought $325,000 from the U.S. Department of Commerces Economic Development Administration, but the application was denied.
Renee J. Beyer, Lewis Countys senior planner, said an application likely will be sent again this year to the federal agency. However, she said, the stars have to be aligned to receive EDA funding for a project.
The report notes that a rail spur connection to the mill is to be rehabilitated late this year using $95,320 in grant funding, an adjacent hydroelectric plant operated by Northbrook Lyons Falls recently completed a project to remediate asbestos and stabilize its building and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has offered technical assistance to Lyons Falls for environmental investigation at several sites, including the old mill.
Other priorities listed in the report include renewable energy development, microenterprise fund development, affordable housing initiatives, tourism initiative, agriculture industry development, water and wastewater systems and a rails-to-trails system.
The Lewis County Development Corp. recently was awarded a $375,000 state grant to help redevelop a small dam in Croghan, an informal regional group is touting biomass power and wind farms in Martinsburg and Copenhagen remain in the works, the report states. However, a community manure digester project has stalled.
The county micro-loan program has been moved to the Lewis County Industrial Development Agency, and Snow Belt Housing Co. Inc. is working on affordable housing development. However, a fledgling tourism council disbanded and, while several individuals continue to work on the initiative, funding and manpower are difficult to obtain.
In the agricultural sector, a meat-processing facility has expanded, the countys lone vineyard continues to grow and a brewery may be in the works in Lowville.
The county Economic Development and Planning office also is working with several municipalities on water and sewer projects and administering a pair of grants intended to help consolidate operations.
However, the long-discussed rails-to-trails project is in limbo after county lawmakers decided not to pursue it.
Quarterly meetings of the 20-member committee and the annual report help local officials retain focus on potential projects, said longtime committee Chairman Richard H. Porter, also the IDAs executive director.
This committee is very diverse, he said.
The annual report has been posted on the Economic Development & Planning Department Web page at www.lewiscountyny.org/content/Generic/View/89.

Effects of Dietary Heme/Non-heme Iron and Helicobacter Pylori (Hp) Infection on Maternal Iron-deficiency Anemia and Fetal Growth Outcomes

Iron deficiency is considered one of the main nutritional deficiency disorders despite the apparent availability of a high-quality diet even in developed countries, and Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common form of anemia in the world. IDA during pregnancy has been associated with adverse health consequences for both the mother and her developing fetus. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) may be the most common bacterial infection worldwide, infecting almost half of people in developed countries and 80% of people in developing countries. The available data on the prevalence of Hp infection in Taiwan population was 54.4%. We all know that infection with Hp is strongly associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, but recent evidence suggests that Hp is associated with iron deficiency and anemia, although the mechanisms remain unclear. Till now, only few previous studies specifically have addressed a potential role of Hp infection on anemia or iron deficiency during pregnancy. Our previous Research showed, between the Hp infection (+) and Hp infection (-) gravidas, the associations between the Hp infection and iron deficiency were stronger, although not statistically significant. This might be due to that we needed more cases and evidences to prove the relationship between maternal Hp infection and serum iron, ferritin and hemoglobin levels, or we should further consider the interactions of the particular customs or diet preference of the Taiwanese gravidas. This longitudinal study will recruit 140 women from the antenatal care clinics of E-Da Hospital to examine the association between Hp infection and maternal IDA. The standardized interviews of mothers (anthropometric data, socioeconomic status, medical history, obstetric history, alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and history and duration of iron supplementation during pregnancy) will be conducted, Hp infection status will be determined by the urea breath test and IgG enzyme immunoassay, and the measurement of hemoglobin, iron, and ferritin levels will be obtained 5 times at various antepartum and postpartum points of time during pregnancy (routine prenatal visits of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester, puerperium and 2 weeks after delivery). We hope that we could investigate the possible role of Hp infection in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy in Taiwan, and that early detection and treatment of anemia may reduce the risk of blood transfusion and perinatal and maternal mortality.

She's starting to show!
Kim Kardashian put her pregnancy curves on display as she left the gym Wednesday night, in Los Angeles.
The reality starlet sported tight leggings and a see-through tank ... which definitely showed off her growing baby bump and changing figure.
The 31-year-old has admitted that she's "petrified" about gaining too much weight during her pregnancy -- but, at least it seems like she's staying fit with a regular fitness routine.
Kim tweeted, "Was so lazy but had to get that workout in! I'm so not a night workout person."
This will be the first child for Kim and her beau, Kanye West -- the baby is due in July.
