I love the Tillamook pepperoni sticks. However they are too long to fit into my bear can without bending them in half and taking up a lot of room.Anyone have any suggestions for another type that tastes good and would fit?Btw I did try Slim Jim's but didn't like them. Too greasy for me, and I get kind of a weird dog food aftertaste.
Since you like the Tillamook brand, simply repackage them -> cut them to size and put in a resealable ziplock bag.
"Slim Jim's but didn't like them. Too greasy for me, and I get kind of a weird dog food aftertaste."But, it is a good dog food aftertaste.--B.G.--
Thanks for the tip. I'll probably end up cutting em up.I'm guessing they have enough preservatives to stay fresh for a few weeks after opening the package?
Try Wellshire Farms pepperoni sticks, available @ Whole Foods.-Chris
Put them in as a circle, following the perimeter of the can rather than straight up and down. How do you know what dog food tastes like? {grin}

Gregory Carlson looks at the distinctive model of the Master Teacher, Jesus, in Rock-Solid Teacher. This exciting new resource uses the distinctive model of Jesus' teaching to establish sound teaching principles, and then practically apply them to impact children, youth and adults. Teachers of all ages will gain confidence in their personal teaching abilities by being able to recognize good teaching practices, evaluate their own skills, mentor others, enhance their own ability to write lessons and mirror Jesus' sound teaching principles.
In 1927 Donald Grey Barnhouse became pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He discovered that traditional children's Sunday School methods were inadequate to teach the great doctrines of Scripture and purposed to design a course to meet that need. Stories were taken from Dr. Barnhouse's sermons, the doctrinal outlines simplified that he was using in Adult Bible classes, then arranged fora new course of study for the various departments of the Church's Children's Bible School. The work was illustrated for children by Mrs. Barnhouse. The final result was a four part systematic bible study course for children covering the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
Inspire, enliven and enlighten the passion inside all who teach - for both the novice and experienced teacher as well as those teaching children and adults. Refine the craft of teaching; study learning styles and how to teach for each one; be creative in the classroom; and more!
Christian education principles for all churches; advice on organizing the education ministry of the church; ideas for casting new vision for the teaching component of the church; methods to promote Sunday School.
Use teacher training curriculum sets for intensive teacher training or spread them out for short training sessions. These sets are timeless and can be used again and again.
Looking for a fresh approach to leading an adult Bible study? Here's the practical guide, whether you're using a specific curriculum or creating your own lessons from scratch. Providing a solid framework for teaching biblical interpretation, Blair discusses goals, presents proven teaching models, and shares 10 tips she's used in her own classes. 138 pages, softcover from Geneva.

Faculty & Staff: Graduate Assistant Information
Graduate Assistant Budget and Tracking Procedures
- Colleges are responsible for monitoring budget allocation expenditures within their departments. The College of Graduate Studies will send periodic budget reports for stipends to designees in the Colleges for reconciliation. Tuition expenditures can be obtained from Web Report Library using this path: Public Folders/Finance/Department/Graduate Waivers Report. The College of Graduate Studies will not be responsible for any expenditure exceeding a College's allocation.
- The College of Graduate Studies reconciles budget expenditures with the Treasurer's office. Discrepancies should be brought to the attention of the Business Manager of College of Graduate Studies as soon as possible for resolution.
- The College of Graduate Studies will do three budget transfers and one adjustment
(if necessary) within the academic year.
- Summer Processed in August (unadjusted)
- Fall Processed in October (unadjusted)
- Spring Processed in April (unadjusted)
- Adjustments Processed in June
- Adjustments are made based on the final amount that should be in an account, taking into account any journal entries not yet made by Payroll/Grants Accounting. Colleges are not to make their own adjustments until all budget transfers are completed and adjustments made within the College of Graduate Studies. This will allow for ease of reconciliation. It is up to the Colleges to follow up with Payroll/Grants Accounting on outstanding journal entries.
- The College of Graduate Studies will now track internal (departmental) vs. external
(grant) tuition funding. The College of Graduate Studies will verify the Duties Position
Class/Title, PCN and Detail & Exemption Codes information matches the students GAPA.
A list of codes can be reached via web link found at the end of this document. The
chart below indicates the use of the Detail Codes as they relate to funding types:
Stipend Type Tuition Code Paid with Accounts starting with (2xxxxx) Use Detail & Exemption codes with GFS (Grant Funded Stipend) in the description for external funded stipends. All other Accounts Use Detail & Exemption codes without GFS in the description for Base (internal) funded stipends. Stand-alone Tuition Scholarships Use Detail & Exemption codes with Tutition Waiver in the description for Tuition Scholarships only.
- Students paid with multiple sources of funding (partial grant and partial base funding) should have their tuition charged proportionately to the amount of stipend. For example, if a student is being paid equally ½ grant and ½ base stipend, 6 hours of tuition will be charged to the internal base Detail & Exemption Code, and 6 hours will be charged to the new grant (external) funded stipend (GFS) code.
- It is expected that all graduate students will be paid on a consistent basis when using internal base funding. Master's students should be paid at Master's level, and PhD students should be paid at PhD levels as well. Colleges should provide expected stipend levels for each semester before GAPAs will be processed. Stipend levels may be reported via email to College of Graduate Studies Business Manager.
Variations in funding should be fully explained in the "Additional Remarks" section of the GAPA to avoid delays in processing.

Hospital all moved in to new wing
COOS BAY, Ore. -- The beds are made, the I.V. bags are filled and Bay Area Hospital is settled in to its new wing.
The hospital phased in the departments last week, and patients and employees seem to enjoy the new look.
The $45 million expansion houses outpatient services, an ICU unit and cardiac services.
Nurses can watch their patients from a window while getting work done.
Officials say there is also more room for families to stay with their loved ones.
Julie Erwin is an ICU nurse at the hospital, and she says they like all the elbow room they have now. "There's a lot more light, lots of room," she said. "It used to be really cramped, we'd have to ask the families to just step outside for a few minutes. Now, we can just ask them to step to the back of the room."
One patient told KCBY News he likes that the new wing because it, "smells better."

Sunday night's graduation ceremony of Los Alamos Youth Leadership (LAYL) participants was all about being a positive force and leading by example with character and conviction.
"There are leaders and there are those who help leaders to lead," Los Alamos Police Chief Wayne Torpy told the teens at Central Avenue Grill. "And then there are snipers – those who sit in the weeds, hide in the background and write in the blogs ... These snipers do nothing to contribute to others."
Torpy praised the youth for their many community-oriented accomplishments, including fundraising projects from which they contributeed the proceeds to area organizations that help the needy.
"These young folks are really a small measure of a lot of good kids in our community," Torpy said. "As police chief it's an honor for me to work with this community and even a greater honor to work with these young folks."
Torpy also thanked Sharon Stover, whom he described as the engine behind LAYL and many other community programs and projects.
James E. Holloway, assistant secretary of education for rural areas, presented a motivational talk to the graduates. He took a moment to look around the roomful of chipper teens, proud parents and enthusiastic community leaders.

Brad Johnson didn't bring a climbing wall with him, but he did bring a bit of REI when he came to visit the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business last November.
Professor Haiyan Hu invited Johnson, who is the chief administrative officer and CFO of Recreational Equipment, Inc., to speak to her retailing class. He spoke to students in a room where he had gone to class in the 1970s. Johnson graduated from USU in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration.
Johnson said his education at USU and graduate work at the University of Utah prepared him well to compete with other graduates, even though some could claim degrees from better-known institutions.
He offered some insight into REI, the largest consumer cooperative in the country, and encouraged students to consider the potential for career advancement in a retail environment.
"Retail is extremely dynamic," he said. "Every day there is something different. Every day there is a new challenge."

October 10, 2015
Gov. Dave Heineman has signed a bill that will have Nebraska join forces with Colorado, Wyoming and the Dakotas in fighting wildfires.
Heineman announced Friday that he has designated Al Berndt, assistant director of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, to represent Nebraska in the Great Plains Interstate Fire Compact. Heineman approved the bill earlier this week.
The compact lets member states share their firefighters and equipment in an emergency without going through the federal government. The compact requires each state to choose a person who is responsible for forest fire control.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis, says pooling the states' resources could lead to faster response times in remote and hard-to-reach areas of Nebraska.

Company History: A Timeline
The story began in 1984, when M.G. Kularatne founded Maga Engineering with a vision to become a model construction company in the region. In the early 1980s, we seized the opportunity to enter the industry, filling the void created by the high demand for construction activities resulting from the open economy pursued by the government of the 1980s. We had the opportunity to work alongside some of the leading construction companies of the world, helping us to gain valuable exposure and acquire construction managerial skills which were utilized for the benefit of the domestic construction industry. The Company acquired the plant and machinery required for major construction work and successfully built a dynamic and dedicated team armed with the necessary knowledge and experience which can be considered its vital strength. It is this capacity and strength which enabled it to secure some of the most prestigious construction projects.
In 1985, Maga took part in the Airport Passenger Terminal Building Project.
In 1987, we worked as a subcontractor to Taisei Corporation of Japan in Colombo Hilton Hotel project.
In 1988, we secured our first major contract for the construction of buildings for National Building Research Organisation. The same year, Maga ventured into its first overseas project in the Republic of Maldives. We also carried out its first marine work in the Colombo Dry Dock Project, first dam work in the Samanalawewa Hydropower project and airport work in the Katunayake airport-runway project.
In 1991, we took part in our first major bridge project, working as the main subcontractor to Kajima Corporation of Japan in the Sri Lanka-Japan Friendship Bridge, also known as the Victoria Bridge, project.
In 1992, the company achieved the highest National Grading for the Building Sector bestowed by the Institute for Construction, Training and Development, or ICTAD. Maga also received its first national construction award from ICTAD for the construction of Army Commander's Secretariat in Colombo. We also took part in the Port Development Project and Social Education Center Project in Maldives.
Maga completed its first major mid-rise complex, the Colombo Valiant Towers in 1993. The same year, we took part in our first Health Sector projects, the Biomedical Unit and the Medical Wards building for Colombo General Hospital. We were also involved in a Coastal Fisheries Project in the Rep. of Maldives.
In 1994, we completed our first major hotel project, 5-star 158-room Eden Hotel & Spa in Beruwala.
In 1996, the company won its first National Excellence Award for the construction of the Head Office for Hemas Group. This was followed by the completion of a string of world-renowned, 5-star hotels along the west coast of Sri Lanka in the latter half of 1990s including the Taj Exotica in Bentota and Blue Waters in Wadduwa, Sinbad Gardens in Kalutara and the Geoffrey Bawa-designed Lighthouse Hotel in Galle. The Lighthouse and the Blue Waters Hotels went on to win National Construction Awards.
In 1998, the company took part in the construction of a seawall in Maldives and Mahaweli Sakura Bridge. The following year, we completed two major education sector projects, the National College of Education at Bingiriya and the National College of Education at Ratnapura, the latter which won a National Construction Award.
The new millennium saw us stretching our wings to large-scale roads, bridges and water supply projects. In 2000, we began our first major highway project, the Southern Provincial Roads Improvement.
In 2002, the company received the coveted International Federation of Asian and Western Pacific Contractors Associations' or IFAWPCA Gold Medal for the construction of Apollo Hospital in Colombo.
The vehicular Bridge in Ratnapura was completed in 2003, and garnered us our first National Award for bridge construction. The company also took part in the construction of Muwagama and Gampola bridge.
In 2004, our Quality Management System was certified to be in compliance with ISO 9001:2000 standard.
Moving further forward, we entered into our first Joint Venture with the China's CDIG in 2005 for the Kalutara-Ambalangoda (A-2) Road project. This was the beginning of several successful joint ventures with leading local & international contractors to carry out large scale infrastructure development projects. We also took part in the Greater Galle Water Supply project, where we carried out work of the intake and several large service reservoirs.
In 2006, the company won another National Construction Excellence Award for the construction of Cargo Complex at Katunayake International Airport. We were involved in the construction of one of the longest reinforced concrete bridges, the bridge over Ginganga (194 metres) of the Southern Highway. We pioneered the production and supply of High-strength Triple-blend Temperature Controlled Concrete.
In 2007, we moved in to large-scale 'design-and-build' projects, an example being the 32-storey Fairmount Residencies, for which we won the coveted National Construction Excellence Award. Lean, efficient and designed for high seismic resistance, the building has incorporated several sustainability features. In December 2007, the National Chamber of Commerce named us the Winner in the Construction and Engineering sector, honoring Maga with the National Business Excellence Award. Maga also became the Runner-up in the Best Realized Growth category. Confirming our commitment to our workforce, Maga became the first company to receive the National Award for Human Resource Development and Effective Safety Management. During the same year, we completed our first major real estate development project, the Skyline Residencies and the award-winning Radiation Treatment Centre at Colombo 02.
The following year, the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka, IESL, honored Maga with the institutions' first ever Engineering Excellence Award (under Infrastructure Development). Maga also achieved the Business Superbrands status in 2008, becoming the only construction company in Sri Lanka to do so, and was recognized as one of Most Respected Sri Lankan Business Entities by Lanka Monthly Digest, LMD.
In 2008, we constructed the world's first purpose-built, LEED Platinum certified, green manufacturing plant, 'Thurulie' at Thulhiriya for MAS Holdings. We have taken forward our pioneering focus on sustainable buildings through another project, the Nelung Arts Center in Colombo 02.
From the inception, we have striven to integrate sustainable development practices throughout the company and its development strategies. The Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) management system of Maga was born out of the necessity of meeting this challenge. On 25 October 2008, a 3-year HSE Action Plan for Excellence was launched to coincide with the National Quality Week and National Health & Safety Week. It laid out a road map for formal implementation of HSE practices for the ensuing 3 years. The HSE Operational Standards, which laid down policy and broad objectives, were released on 01 January 2009.
In February 2009, we received the Gold rating in the country's first ever Corporate Accountability Rating done by Sting Consultants, in recognition of our sustainable construction practices and social, environmental and financial accountability. We were able to achieve this through implementing and adhering to strict health, safety and environmental standards, minimizing our environmental footprint, taking care of our employees whilst upholding our relationships with local communities and society.
Throughout 2009, Maga continued to provide high quality infrastructure, with noteworthy facilities such as the Neuro Trauma Unit at the National Hospital, capable of providing much needed Neuro-surgery facility to over 1000 patients. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka-Singapore Friendship College at Weeraketiya was a unique academic infrastructure project done in collaboration with the Singapore Red Cross Society and Singapore-Sinhala Association, providing educational facilities to 1200 scholarship winners from the Tsunami affected region of Weeraketiya,. The company also completed the Kandy City Center, a 9-storey 450,000 square foot building situated at the heart of the hill capital, at a value of Rs 4.4 billion.
As a testimony to our pioneering focus on sustainable buildings, in late 2009 we helped found the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka. The Council has now been granted "Emerging Member Status" by the World Green Building Council, and has recently published the Sri Lanka Green Building Rating.
In January 2010, the company ventured to seek the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 international certifications for our HSE Management Systems. On 19 November 2010, our HSE system was certified to be in compliance with ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 international standards, enabling us to become the first construction company in the country to be accredited with both standards.
From the inception, we have been striving to successfully integrate social and inter-generational equity with economic and ecological considerations. In fulfilling this requirement, we are not only committed to the frugal use of resources in the production of sustainable infrastructure, but also to reduce the impact of resource depletion and environment pollution. In recognition of these efforts, in February 2010, Maga received the Platinum rating and the no 3 rank in the country's Corporate Accountability Index.
In September 2010, we completed one of the longest road rehabilitation project of the country, the 158km Matara-Wellawaya Road at a value of Rs 5.6 billion. Innovative construction management enabled us to deliver this project 6 weeks ahead-of-schedule—garnering the praise of the European Union and the Asian Development Bank, the project's funding agencies. Maga also attained the C-1 grading in the categories of Buildings, Roads, Bridges and Water Supply & Drainage according to the new grading of Contractors introduced by ICTAD. During the same year, Maga became Sri Lanka's first construction company—and one of the first privately owned companies—to publish its performance under the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, where we achieved a B level of disclosure.
In 2011, the company completed the 78km Siyambalanduwa-Pottuvil- Akkaraipattu Road. This Rs 4.2 billion rehabilitation was another landmark project in the Eastern coastal region, slowly emerging from the destruction of the Tsunami and the decades-long war. The project also involved the construction of two reinforced concrete bridges, 75m and 125m in length. Project activities got underway despite heavy security concerns in 2008, and were carried forward by a deeply committed and resilient project team. This team was further complemented by the spirit and cooperation displayed by the resident communities, something which facilitated rapid development of these regions in the face of adversities.
The upgrading of the Puttalam to Anuradhapura Road was also completed in July 2011. The following month, Maga won Sri Lanka's first National Green Award for the Private and Public Sector at the inaugural National Green Awards organized by the Central Environmental Authority. Our environmental initiatives have been characterized by Environmental Management Action Plans spanning across a road network of over 600km, building the world's first purpose-built LEED 'Platinum' certified apparel factory, being the first Sri Lankan construction company to report its Environmental Performance under the Global Reporting Initiative, helping found the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka and being the first Sri Lankan construction company to be accredited under both OHSAS 18001 & ISO14001 international standards. In 2011, we became the first company in Sri Lanka publish our performance under the new Construction & Real Estate Supplement of the Global Reporting Initiative.
Our notable projects of the recent past include the New Headquarters Building for People's Leasing Limited, a 13-storey state of the art mid-rise complex using a custom made structural Glass Tension System introduced in Sri Lanka for the first time. The unveiling of Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Building Complex in Colombo took place in June 2011. In 2012, the company also completed the Stage 2 of the Greater Kandy Water Supply Project, one of the largest water supply projects in the country, serving over 240,000 families of the region.

Restaurant Gilmore
As Paul and Dee's eponymous Uttoxeter restaurant closes its doors after 12 years for refurbishment, which will see it re-open under a new and exciting format later in the year, Paul was approached by two local Stone businessmen Matt Wilcox and
Alan Appleby, who had decided to purchase and refurbish a much loved old village pub and restaurant. Matt and Alan were desperate for Paul to bring his skills and experience into making the project a success and we believe, it represents a very unique opportunity to show how a collaborative approach can rejuvenate old redundant pubs.
Matt, who is involved with a variety of youth based companies and charitable organisations in North Staffordshire called Unity, had a vision to bring this pub back to life with not only a great food and drink offering, but also wanted to ensure that it could also be financially sustainable and most importantly contribute to helping make the community a better place to live. He had all the skills to run the community side but needed someone of Paul's calibre to help make sure that The Wheatsheaf could be put back on the map in what is regarded as a very food orientated town.
On securing the partnership with Paul Gilmore, Matt goes on to say; 'I took a lot of time researching who the movers and shakers were in the local area, one name that stood out time and time again was Paul's. From the first meeting with him I knew that he was the man who could establish the culinary standards that I wanted this building to deliver. His passion, knowledge and flexibility to work with such a project is second to none and I don't think every chef would feel comfortable sharing their kitchen with people still learning their trade, but Paul was very happy to take this on! '
The building is a jigsaw of activity that sees the day time run a cooking project called 'Recipe for Success' where local marginalised young people learn and train under the watchful eye of former restaurateur Niven Ziad. This project delivers meals daily to elderly and vulnerable residents who appreciate a home cooked meal and supports other community initiatives including a luncheon every Wednesday for Staffordshire Therapeutic Intervention Group based in Stone.
Paul has worked hard to develop a business plan around the work that takes place in the day and has looked for opportunities to further enhance it by hopefully offering future work and apprenticeship opportunities for the students on the 'Recipe for Success' project.
'Gilmores at the Wheatsheaf' Paul's new pub and restaurant concept is due to open its doors April 7th for drinks and the 10th for food. Paul says of the new venture;
'When I first spoke to Matt I don't think he realised that he just described a dream opportunity for me. To cook, serve beer, encourage young people to appreciate good food and to do it all in a pub in a Staffordshire village, Wow! I am really looking forward to re-establishing The Wheatsheaf in Oulton as the place to go to relax and enjoy good food and drink. You will be able to enjoy freshly cooked dishes using the best of ingredients with local sourcing and seasonality being really important. Organic beetroot risotto, Black pudding scotch egg with baked beans, Slow cooked shoulder of Staffordshire beef with buttery mash and greens, Gilmore's infamous Bread and Butter pudding and a selection of mini desserts to tantalise will feature in the restaurant with mini basket meals and bruschettas being available in the bar.'
When asked about the addition of making a contribution to the local community and young people;
'Being able to offer an opportunity to the young kids of Unity's 'Recipe for Success' project to see what it's like to work within my industry is just the icing on the cake. If I can give even one of these youngsters the chance to begin a career in the catering industry it will mean a huge amount to me.'

You may remember that last year, French motorcyclists were up in arms because the government was threatening to introduce yearly MOT inspections on their bikes. Well, after much lobbying and protest, the idea was dropped, and the motorcyclists were appeased.
Now however, the mayor of Paris, (known for his distaste for bikes) is insisting that the government bring in the law for the city – and once again, the proposal is coming up against some serious derision among the biking fraternity. Already, the mayor has turned the Rive Gauche into a pedestrian area; closing it completely to traffic. He's also outlawed all motorcycles which are ten years old or more from the inner city.
Apparently, the mayor is a stickler for environmental causes, but it's clear to see why some people believe he is unfairly against motorcycles. So, what do you think? How would you feel if the UK government insisted on drastic changes to motorbike laws on our roads? Leave us your comments and let us know!

Mizuno mp 53 irons vs. MX-300 irons
By DanielBush on Dec 06, 2012 07:44 AM
Mizuno irons are one of the more expensive brands of irons on the market. Mizuno divides its golf irons into four categories that include game improvement, game enhancement, signature and iron hybrids. Today let's take a look at the cheap price Mizuno MP-53 Irons and mx 300 irons.
The wholesale golf clubs--MP-53 irons are game enhancement irons. It features 360 Grind, which helps eliminate turf drag at the toe and heel, according to Mizuno. This weight is strategically redistributed around the cavity to achieve the largest sweet area ever in an MP iron, delivering maximum playability while remaining extremely versatile.
In addition, the MP-53 irons were scientifically designed through Mizunos use of Modal Analysis and Harmonic Impact Technology, which perfectly tunes the sound of impact to deliver the ultimate in feel. This unique grind also provides a thinner top line for an eye pleasing look at address.
The Mizuno MX-300 Irons for sale is featured on Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List and received high marks for performance, look and feel and innovation. The new irons are a full cavity back iron for players seeking assistance from their golf iron. The undercut cavity design and solid grain flow forged feel make for exceptional turf interaction creating solid impact and shot stopping control.
Mizuno MX-300 Irons are more solid iron than in previous years with exceptional workability, the Irons places diversity and direction into the hands of mid-handicappers looking to improve their game.

In-Depth RPG Review: Trail of Cthulhu
- 11.03.11
The '30s – Setting & Background
As mentioned above, ToC uses the 1930s as its default setting, and the author provides a really detailed overview of the the events and culture of the 1930s to provide the reader with some insight and inspiration about the time period. Of course, the section is fairly brief and any good Keeper is going to want to consult some outside material to provide further details, but even this is made easy since the book provides some recommended sources to start with. In terms of what is provided, actual historical events are interwoven with fictional material culled from the various Mythos stories seamlessly and it's a very interesting read. This includes an overview of some of the major "hotspots" around the globe, providing both historical material and Cthulhu Mythos teasers and hooks for the Keeper to work with. One of the advantages of advancing the timeline in ToC by roughly a decade compared to the H.P.L. stories is that all of those events happened in the past, providing some historical Mythos events to build the campaign upon.
Wrapping Things Up
The remainder of the book consists of player and GM advice along with a set of sample "Campaign Frames" which are essentially thematic premises or concepts upon which a series of adventures can be built. Three are included in the book, with each providing an overview of the setting, style, Mythos details, key NPCs, and possible rules variations that can be incorporated in to the campaign. I have to say these are cool and evidently others, including Pelgrane Press, agree since two out of the three presented in the core rule book have since come out as fully fleshed-out supplements (The Armitage Files and Bookhounds of London). What I love most about the three that are presented is that each is completely different: one involves a purist-style group from Miskatonic University, another Pulp-style X-Files sort of government team, and the third a group of unsavory rare book dealers based out of London.
The book wraps up with a sample adventure, "The Kingsbury Horror," which is set in Cleveland and was inspired by a real historical event.
The Verdict
By now it should be evident that I am a huge fan of Trail of Cthulhu. I think it manages to capture the feel Lovecraft's stories, particularly when played in Purist mode, with rules built to complement the stories. GUMSHOE is a perfect fit for investigating the supernatural mysteries and horrors associated with the Cthulhu Mythos. It also is simple enough to be run in a more "off-the-cuff" improvisational style and doesn't require a great deal of prep on the part of the GM, an important consideration for those of use with busy lives.
Another factor that makes ToC simply a great RPG is the quality of the supplemental material that's been published to support the system: all of the adventures published to date are excellent as are the other supplements. While none of the material is essential, all of it is very interesting and useful, with a clear aim of providing support rather than providing an endless series of splat books. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that the huge volume of material that Chaosium has published over the past three decades can also be used with ToC with some minor conversion work, for which ToC provides guidelines.
In the end, Trail of Cthulhu is a roleplaying game I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in Lovecraft's stories, or horror investigation in general. The game's system, setting, and supplemental material all work together to create an interesting and thoroughly compelling world to explore.

Replying to 2012 Chevy Malibu Interior Shots - Inside Line
Topic Summary
Posted 19 October 2010 - 08:09 PM
Posted 28 September 2010 - 04:43 PM
Okay, just saw the renderings of the exterior for the first time and gagged a little bit. I surely hope they're off. They seem to at least be slightly off with the taillamps as in the camo'd pics it shows amber directionals but in the rendering they're solid red.
I love the exterior of the current Malibu--easily one of the best-looking midsizers out there. I just hope they don't Mazda3 it (i.e. ruin it).
The renderings so far have not been really close. As they uncover the car the parts that are seen have been better than rendered.
I think the rear end is where the most work was needed and they are addressing it. The real mystery is the center of the trunk lid. It is yet to be uncovered ans show it true lines.

I think GM should just save time, and not even make a new Malibu and forfeit the segment to the Sonata, king of all mid-sizers. The Sonata is on pace to make up 50% of all new car sales by 2020, and studies suggest that driving a Sonata may cure cancer.
I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic here. I hope its the latter.

but the funny thing is Hyundai's turbo is not supposed to have much of an mpg penalty vs. the non turbo
A turbocharged engine's main source of fuel economy penalty comes from the reduction in compression ratio. If the compression ratio is no lower than the NA engine or is insignificantly lower the fuel economy impact is minimal. Whatever disadvantage remains comes from having a relatively restrictive exhaust and short, fat, intake runners without resonance tuning.
If you really want to build the most fuel efficient turbocharged engine, you stick to a compression of about 10.2~10.7:1 and run rather mild boost levels of 10.3~13.2 psi. You'll make a decent 100~110 lb-ft/liter. The power output will depend largely on how you skew the torque plateau. If you want something that comes on strong at 1600~1800 rpm, it'll probably be about 100~105hp/liter. If you push the plateau to the right by about 1000 rpm (using a bigger turbo with the same low boost levels) you can hit about 120~130 hp/liter. Such an engine will reach maximum torque at about 2600~2800 rpm and hold it to about 6600 rpm. It won't be a Lancer Evo ad it might be a little soft off the line, but it'll be perfectly competitive with a 3 liter class V6.
Having said that, I'll wait for official EPA numbers before passing judgment on the Sonata's turbo four. As the Cruze's EPA numbers show, the manufacturer's estimates can sometimes be a little "optimistic".

Plundered from CamaroZ28.com.
Posted 27 September 2010 - 07:18 PM
The new corporate standard issue steering wheel is a great improvement over the overtly crude one in the current Malibu. The dash and the rest of the interior isn't as clean as I like them to be -- too many unnecessary lines, too many curves that don't flow together.
The biggest flaw of the Malibu however is the lack of headroom. If the new car gains an inch of cabin height, or life they drop the seat cushions lower by an inch it'll help sway a lot of buyers.
Power train wise, the 182hp 2.4 liter DI 4-potter is OK. Not best in class, but for the kind of buyers it is targeting it is good enough. Only two types of people buy the 4-pot cars -- people who don't really care about the engine and people who care more about fuel economy than performance.
I am split on whether the up level cars should be a V6 or a Turbo-4. A 312hp DI VVT V6 is actually class leading and it will appeal to both the performance crowd and the smooth motor crowd. With the turbo four, you get better economy numbers. But if it is the 220hp/258lb-ft version, that is sort of a step backwards compared to today's 252hp six. If its the 255hp/295lb-ft version, on the same perch as the Regal GS. Plus, the turbo fours drink Premium.
Personally, I'll go with a I4 + V6 lineup. If not anything because that is different from Buick's options.

I started my fixation with chalkboards at an early age, when a neighbor gave me a chalkboard easel her kids had outgrown. With that dusty chalkboard, all I had to do was add a swirl of imagination and my bedroom was transformed into a school house, a fashion designer's studio or, my favorite, a grocery store (Mom was very tolerant when I raid the pantry and filled my room with canned goods.).
All my sparkling chalkboard memories came flooding back to me when I saw the chalkboard accents at the Atlanta home furnishings market this year. After too many years apart, my creativity and the chalkboard were reunited. Wanna play in the chalk, too? Here are three fun ideas to inspire you:
1. Chalkboard Table Tops
My favorite takeaway from the Atlanta market this year? Chalkboard paper. I went berserk over this launch pad for creativity and ordered 1,000 rolls! Since then, all of us at Nell Hill's keep coming up with fun new ways to use this unique paper this fall. Here are just a few:
Set a Thanksgiving table you can truly give thanks over.
The lovable mob of friends and family we entertain at Thanksgiving every year includes a some very creative kids. Oh man, are they going to have fun with the chalkboard paper! The width of the paper roll is just the right size to serve as a table runner, either stretching down the center of a long table or over the side of a smaller table, like I did on my kitchen table, pictured above.
Arm yourself with the chalk that comes with the roll, or, if you don't want your creation to smear or rub off on your clothes, get some chalk paint in a variety of fun colors. Then, go to town!
- Draw place mats, like we did on this table.
- Instead of using name cards, write each guest's name by her place (or do a caricature of the person, if you're really artsy).
- Fill in the margins with fun doodles.
- Draw in some games to entertain guests while they wait for the fool, like hang man or tick-tack-toe.
Create a whimsical table for the holidays.
I hope you'll visit my home for the Nell Hill's Holiday Open House on Nov. 8-9 because I'm going to use the chalkboard paper to create a whimsical dining table that's sure to put huge smiles on the faces of young and old. I don't want to give it all away, but the table is going to celebrate bright and cheery seasonal candies. One gimme: The centerpiece will include silver teapots holding bouquets of large lollipops. Honestly, I haven't been this excited about setting a table for the holidays for years!
Make your next party lots more fun.
The chalkboard paper magic can extend far beyond the holidays, adding pizzazz to any event you're hosting. Planning a wine and cheese tasting? Roll out the paper on the tabletop, place your bottles on top, then use the chalk to label each selection. Or, lay out the chalk and ask guests to write in their ratings and comments about each bottle of wine. Hosting a dessert party? Draw fancy doilies around each dessert server then label each sugary selection.
Be creative – the sky is the limit!
- Planning a kid's birthday party? Roll the paper down the center of the treat table and let them go to town, drawing and doodling. It's great entertainment!
- Taking some little ones out to dinner? Cut the chalkboard paper into placemat sizes and take it along, letting the kids decorate them while they wait.
- Like to wrap beautiful gifts for birthdays or the holidays? Use the chalkboard paper and make the wrapping paper as personal – and special – as the gift inside.
- Have a teen who wants to personalize her room? Cover her door with chalkboard paper and let her and her friends go to town, writing in their names, gluing on photos from magazines, you name it.
2. Chalkboard Table Accents
When we have big groups over, we have a dickens of a time keeping everyone's drink glasses straight. People fill their glass, drink a bit, set it down and forget which one is theirs. That's why I jumped at the chance to get these adorable chalkboard mugs. I love the nostalgia of the Mason jar look, and how it fits perfectly with the yesteryear charm of chalkboards. When your guests arrive, write their names on the glasses. Want to send them home with a gift? Theses glasses are so affordable, they are the perfect pick!
3. Chalkboard Decor
If you've been reading my blog for a while, this is not the first time you've seen these fabulous little chalkboards used in my displays. And, it probably won't be the last! For my Fall Open House, I used a chalkboard that is encased in a wooden frame and has a wooden handle in the table settings on my kitchen table. Use them instead of name cards, like we did here, decorating them with each guest's name. Then, let them take their board home as a gift.
Here's the same chalkboard used as a tray to hold goodies on the place setting. Cover it with a glass cloche to finish off the look. I also love the larger sizes of these paddle-like boards used as chargers for place settings or as trays for tabletop displays.
Here are some more fun ideas for chalkboards:
- Hosting a birthday party? Write a special message to the guest of honor on a chalkboard and hang it from the front door.
- For a wine and cheese tasting, write the name of each wine selection on a little chalkboard and place it in an easel beside the bottle. We also have little chalkboards with twine hangers, which would be perfect hung from the neck of a wine bottle.
- Mix a larger, framed chalkboard in with other art on your mantel for an intriguing, layered look.
- Write your favorite poem or saying on a larger framed chalkboard, then hang it from your front door or above your mantel.

We are using the chalkboards at my son's wedding reception in Oct 2014 for the reserved tables and the one with the string for the 2nd ring bearer to carry that says "Here Comes the Bride". Love them!!!!

I love this idea! So perfect! So beautiful. My son is getting married and we plan on using tons of chalkboards for different things. Love it. I love Michelle Wolfes idea too. I have a little framed chalkboard with a vintage ornate frame that I write coffee station when I entertain and I set it next to the coffee and all it's fun things to prepare with it. Love it so!
Thanks for the tips.

I love the idea of rolls of the chalkboard paper at a casual rehearsal dinner for a summer wedding.How much per roll please?

I drove up from Tulsa on Saturday and went to both stores. I loved the use of the chalkboard paper at both locations. I liked the cutout like a placemat upstairs in the Atchison store. I also loved the use of it as a table runner at the Briarcliff store for a Christmas themed candy table. I am regretting not buying a roll now. It was all a little overwhelming on the first trip.

I am a teacher so, I love chalk boards!!! I have a short wall from my kitchen to my den and I painted it with magnetic and chalkboard paint, so I could display my grandchildren's pictures and art work–plus they can write on it, too!!! It is wonderful and they just love it. I love Nell Hill's and I have not seen another store like it anywhere in Texas. Mary Carol, you have such a gem!!!!!!!!!

Beetroot cappuccino…and November in reds.
A beetroot velouté, or creamy beetroot soup, is apart from delicious, also beautiful. Served as a starter in the way of a cappuccino, is a beautiful way to kick off an autumn or winter dinner. It is actually a good idea to always eta small starter of soup with any home dinner..it is healthy and helps fill one and so prevents over eating.
Pincée de sel:
- Younger beetroots give a deeper colour, are sweeter and softer. If possible, use small beets.
- Raw beets cab be replaced by ready cooked vacuum packed beets.
- add different spices for a more wintery touch…cardamom seeds, star anis, cinnamon, croriander – add together in a small muslin bag so it can be removed afterwards.
- To make froth with a machine: whisk a small amount(about 150 ml) milk in a high microwave proof) container. whisk vigorously until it starts foaming. Place in the microwave immediately. Heat the milk while keeping your eye on the milk all the time. The froth will start to rise high. Remove from the microwave and scoop the froth from the milk.
- Use vegetable stock to make it a vegetarian soup.
- A scoop of créme fraìche, or a scoop of whipped cream can be used, which will make the soup creamier and heavier.
- Ideal for a starter.
…and November in reds.
The artist in my appreciates November as the most beautiful month in the year. It is the most challenging and gratifing time of the year for painting, photographing, hunting for mushrooms in the woods, watching the leaves turn form green to yellow to red to purple to brown and finally float to the ground. No other season gives us this fast forward motion action of change in nature and it passes before your eyes from one minute to another.

October scenes in the garden.
A big hello to all! I took a break, longer than intended, but summer kept me busy in several ways. As is the habit with summer, it is over before you know it and October sets in with all kinds of challenges: digging for warmer clothes….rain, bulb planting, cleaning garden tools to store away, facing weeds that have grown undisturbed, working vegetables from the "potager", picking up walnuts and rushing to get to the chestnuts before the squirrels do.
I love the fall colours of the hydrangeas…the blues turn to greens and the pinks and whites turn to an old, faded pink. The Maroccan mint is still a deep green which peeps through the pinks of the hydrangeas.
I never clean up too much…have always loved the difference in seasons…the rain and fallen leaves and twigs, the weeds, fried flowers and seeds…they all add to the atmosphere of autumn.
After the rain.
A bottle of wine forgotten outside….
Raindrops on some roses still blooming…
Rosehips living happily alongside Nepeta…
Fresh water for all the animals..
Droplets hanging on cafe chairs..
The "potager" delivered a bounty of vegetables this year and is still going strong even though the weeds are flourishing right there along with the vegetables.
Beautiful light shimmering through changing vine leaves..
Stinging nettle needing no encouragement in flowering..
A yellow rose in the yellow garden..
Cleaning up is not a favorite passtime of mine. I love to make a mess..and I love to have someone else doing the cleaning up. Unfortunately, I am that "someone else"… Evidences of unfinished spring work still staring me incriminatingly in the face.
The mornings stay darker longer and the evenings turn darker earlier..lighting candles and chandeliers and lanterns make for atmospheric evenings, which is what autumn and winter should be about, after all.
Our windows are in and I revel in the reflections!
Reading asks for blankets…
Bright yellow nasturtiums in the yellow and orange garden add a blast of sunshine to cloudy days.
Apart form the beautiful colours of autumn which is so obvious, many other scenes of October beauty can also be found in: the disarray of garden chairs, a chicken hiding in a flowerbed, walnuts bursting, a dilapidated rattan chair for the chickens, an enamel jug, a garden tap, a garden cloche…
Work in a garden is never ending, no matter which season. And beauty in a garden is never ending, no matter which season.
And when the day is done, but the work is not, the beauty of it all is to kick out the boots, put up those feet and relax…!
…à la prochaine!..
Panfried quince(coings sautés)..et le jardin du Luxembourg.
It is now time for quince, pears, apples..all the lovely fruits of autumn with their heady fragrances when baked or panfried or poached. With added spices or without, they are wonderful as desserts and even better as accompaniment to venison and the heavier winter red meats. Serving it with a duck breast is something I love to do: Sauté the quince in a pan with butter and sugar, remove, add the juices of the panfried duck and reduce with some red wine, serve with the cooked duck slices and the quince on the side and a pain de campagne to sweep up the juices on the plate.. eh oui, we do love that! Doesn't it sound delicious?
La recette:
- Wash 2 large quinces and cut in quarters. Peel(optional) and remove the seeds. Cut each quarter again in half.
- In a large pan, melt a large knob of butter and about 3/4 cup sugar and some lemon juice to taste. Add the quince and pan fry for about 10 minutes or until the quinces are tender and caramelized. Remove the quinces from the pan heat before they fall apart and keep aside.
- Add 1/4-1/2 cup of red wine to the caramelized quince juice and reduce for about 5-10 minutes. Add the quince slices back to the wine sauce and keep warm until needed.
- Serve as accompaniment with venison or duck breast or pan fried foie gras.
Pincée de fleur de sel:
- Use apples or pear instead of quince.
- Add spices like star aniseed, or a cinnamon stick or juniper berries..
- Use honey of your preference instead of sugar.
- These quince can also be baked in the oven at 180 degrees C until the quince are tender.
- Serve as a dessert with a dollop of thick cream or créme fraîche.
- Use the pan fried quince for tarte tatin or use and make a topping for a crumble.
Well, back from Paris; t'was a quick there and back, but that is how I have to do Paris now with all the animals waiting back here at Coin Perdu. Not that I complain because that is exactly the way I like it. Paris is wonderful, but after a week my head hurts. All is well when you don't have parcels and bags and cameras and bottles of water and it isn't raining and you have enough money to be taxied around. But a week of city life is more than enough – enough shoving and pushing on buses and le métro, slipping on wet métro stairs, struggling through narrow métro gateways with parcels and umbrellas, enough garlic odours on the métro from the stranger breathing in your neck and spitting his chatting into his portable above your head.
BUT…thankfully Paris is also filled with stories and a rich history and incredible beauty and there is always a good seat and (albeit expensive) coffee at the next corner. Great lunch meals at bistros, which is cheaper and sometimes better than dinners. Great places(squares) where you can eat your sandwich jambon and read your book(given it doesn't rain). And of course, there is always le jardin du Luxembourg.

Salmon, apple and dill amuse bouche…and a touch of green.
The regulars here on Myfrenchkitchen will by now know how much I love an apéro(apéritif), or amuse bouche, or the spanish tapas.. On weekends it is standard practice in our home to have a glass of wine before dinner with an apéro. I hope one day in heaven there will be some apéros awaiting me on weekends- that and good coffee-or else I will take my business elsewhere…
As all the regulars will alos know, is that everything on Myfrenchkitchen is simple, as these salmon amuses bouches clearly show. The only requisite is "l'envie", the desire to make it and enjoy it.
- Cut 140 g smoked salmon into thin strips, about 2cm wide. If possible, use wild salmon, which is much stronger in flavour. If you have your own gravlax that you made, all the better. Wash and cut green 1 large Granny Smith apple(unpeeled) into matchtsticks. Drizzle liberally with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Wash a few branches of fresh dill.
- Roll about 5 matchsticks of apple and a tiny branch of dill in a strip of salmon.
- Arrange on a platter, sprinkle with freshly milled pepper and decorate with lemon slices, dill flowers and serve with cold white wine, rosé, sparkling wine or champagne.
- One large Granny Smith apple and 140g smoked salmon (4 slices) make about 14 amuse bouche.Provide for 3 – 4 helpings per person if it is the only apéritif served.
Serves 3-4 people.
Pincée de fleur de sel:
- Use fresh fennel or fresh chertvil instead of dill.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraìche when rolling the salmon.
- Serve with a bowl of mayonniase or crème fraîche as an accompanying dip.
- Use other fruits in season and use smoked ham instead of salmon.
Since we are in the greens today…the hydrangeas are beautiful at the moment with nuances of green and salmon. Two Granny smith apples complete the picture in the barn.
..Green is one of the colours I love for setting tables outside. And blue. And red. And of course white. And ochre. Well, for that matter, all colours! I have a few things here at Coin Perdu which we often use for dining on the terrace in summer: rustic green rimmed glasses, old bottles, green fun plates, green banana lreaf bowls, green pottery bowls..
..Some small wild apples live in harmony with berries and egglantine rosehips..
..the birds don't shy away from digging into the small wild apples..
..and neither do the horses..
..when going through my artwork in search of painted apples, I realized I have almost nothing. I had to rectify that immediately with a sketch. Green is a difficult colour. So many shades of it in nature. The challenge lies in creating your own green from yellows and blues with touches of reds and purples. That way you get much richer and interesting greens than the greens directly from the tube.
..à bientôt!.

The best way to learn is through play, so let the brain talk to the feet and let your kids discover the world through natural movement, with our best-selling kids Mary Jane.
Style code:
The Pally, like all VIVOBAREFOOT shoes, honours the foot and lets young feet grow and develop as they should.
Don't be fooled by the cute design. The Pally is a tough kid's shoe that lets the foot do the work. It'll allow them to run, jump, hop and skip freely, safe in the knowledge that their feet are behaving as nature intended. The Pally is quick and easy to adjust and fasten, and offers young feet natural barefoot movement with the safety of a puncture-resistant sole.
The thin, flexible yet extremely durable multi-terrain sole combined with the supple leather upper lets little feet do their thing and provide natural motion control. They'll be unstoppable in the Pally which allows the Great Toe to engage rapidly with the ground as well as independent rear and fore-foot movement.
Pally Black Kids - My granddaughters want Pally for the past three years. Her thoughts however is quite narrow and this time round the Pally prove to be too wide. It would be brilliant if you could produce a larger range of school shoes. On another note with regard to your email promotions it's really frustrating when you send out emails and stock levels are very limited.
Pally Crianca - Classificação do serviço : Um conceito que como Fisioterapeuta e Osteopata defendo que deveria ser massificado.Produto : Diga-nos o que pensa neste espaço
Pally Black Kids - Very wide on my daughters super narrow feet but she likes them. Concerned about durability potentially, as her feet are so narrow the velcro strap drags on the floor. A more closed in girls design would be good, she didn't want the same shoes as her brother.
Pally Ninos - La única pega que veo es que en las zapatillas de niños si sacas las plantillas cuesta mucho volver a ponerlas.
Pally Kids - Love love love the shoe!
Pally Kids - No problems
Pally Kids - Good
Pally Black Kids - Great shoes albeit very pricey.
Pally Black Kids - Great service. I had to return a couple of items as I had ordered the wrong size. All correspondence helpful and prompt response.
Pally Black Kids - amazing shoes as always. Very pleased with purchase as I have previously shopped in-store but this experience has given me confidence to order online, and I will do so next time again. Thank you!
Pally Black Kids - Brilliant school shoes! Scuffed within 5 minutes - but then they are used as scooter breaks & are excellent for climbing & running. Just a pity barefoot school shoes are often so dull - none of the flashing lights & decoration found in Clarks. Some clip on or stick on decoration would be much appreciated.
Pally Black Kids - A purchase for my daughter who's foot position was awful in her old school shoes. Very impressed, she is walking much better, they look great and she finds them really comfortable.
Pally Kids - Lovely shoe, beautiful colour, she is a very happy bridesmaid to be!
Pally Kids - Excellent shoes! My kid loves them! Wears them also inside home and do not sweat..
Pally Kids - My daughter really like these shoes, we bought a black pair for school and she says they are very comfortable (my daughter has wide feet). I will definitely buy these shoes again.
Pally Black Kids - No inside present in this latest pair and sizing between sizes inconsistent, not a vast difference between a 12 and 13 but huge jump between a 13 and 1! Such a shame as we were very pleased with the last pair we had.
Pally Black Kids - My daughter is wearing them to school on a daily basis and likes them
Pally Kids - As always, my daughter loves her Vivobarefoot shoes
Pally Black Kids - Great service, great discount and quick delivery on great shoes
Pally Kids - Somehow my web order duplicated itself and it would have be great if someone at the other end had thought I probably didn't need 2 x 3 pairs of shoes (the same)
Pally Black Kids - Lovely shoes but unfortunately they were too wide for my daughters skinny feet.
Pally Black Kids - They are great shoes but they are, sadly, already showing signs of wear .They seem to scuff easily on the toes. That said, my children haven't once complained of them rubbing or hurting, so I'm pleased with the product, particularly as i purchased them in the sale.
Pally Black Kids - They seem to be good so far but it's difficult to give proper feedback when she's only been wearing the shoes for 2 weeks. I reserve judgement on the durability but happy so far....
Pally Kids - Fast efficient polite thnx
Rooty Kids - Love the concept of the barefoot shoes, uppers could be more robust though.
Rooty Kids - Great shoes really comfortable and fit well.
Rooty Kids - My 6 year old boy seems to like the fact that it looks like a normal school shoe and that he now has the same brand as mummy and daddy's running shoes. I like the fact that his feet will be able to grow without squeezed toes and with strong, healthy arches.
Rooty Kids - The wrong shoes were delivered originally due to the ones I ordered being out of stock. The customer services were superb and couldn't have been more helpful in rectifying the issue. It was prompt and friendly and professional.
Pally Kids - These are excellent shoes.
Rooty Kids - Because you actually sent 'Pally' but I half expected that as the picture showed a 'Pally'.
Pally Pink Kids - Great, comfy shoe and nice colour. Hopefully more of your kids shoes come in more, brighter colours. Thanks.
Pally PInk Kids - good
Pally Pink Kids - cheap finitions
Pally Kids - I accidently ordered a pair of pally kids shoes when I (stupidly) thought they were for an adult woman. The shoes looked good -- I'm only sorry that by the time I returned them the like women's shoes in my size were gone!
Pally Pink Kids - Unfortunately there isn't much choice because of many sold out models and sizes
Pally Kids - first of all 2 left feet sent, and when i finally got replacements (at my additional cost) the toe upturn is bad and i was assured it was rectified. not having the toes in contact with the floor does not replicate barefoot walking
Pally Kids - Lovely well made and comfortable shoe.
Pally Kids - Excellent
Pally Kids - This is our first purchase from this company. My little girl tells me they are so very comfortable. So that is a good starting point. They are quite a lightweight shoe, time will tell if they are durable enough.
