I am slighlty annoyed by the continous nagging of the community, opening an OP thread for every new card/ trendy card and keep ****. I am positive that 80% of the OP threads could be transfered into discussions about deck design, counters and issues of card avaibility.
Therefore I was very happy to see the Falkow Pike Thread of Peralisc. I belive it can be very healthy for our community if we try to give constructive ideas to deck design and highlighting underused good cards.
In tradition of Pera's thread I would like to draw the attention of the community to an other intresting gowen card, that had been released in set 11 and despite being avaible for most people, being seriously underplayed:
Ruin Explorer/ Russel
Russel is a rather nontraditional gowen card, reflecting the evolution of gowen getting more and more control oriented cards. Thus one could argue he is a typical falkow card, and brings issues with himself which usually just matter falkow players but not gowen ones:
- low survivability thus requiring a good field presence to protect him
- not being allround like typical gowen card but specialised for certain situations and sp inefficient -> thus you start to think more about file space when having him and thinking about not running 3 copies (typical falkow issues)
(PS: the rank up helps with these issues a little though)
The strengh of this card is, he hard counters many of old and new threats in game:
-the complete agimanipulation of falkow (undine and slyph feels useless now)
-the attack manitulations in gowen lawtia and refess
- capable to set up agi dependent souls like raste
In particular he wrecks many hight treat issues like:
-Chaos annaroses attack buffing
- Mystere and ex mystere decks, wrecking undine opens and making undined emana the only reliable agi debuffer in your opponents deck (withouth undine 50/50% success of debuffing emanas agi debuff)
- Ex laps attack buff
-elemental burst
- pegasus
-elite fencer
and many many more
I think this a great card and can play in a well designed gowen rush the game deciding tech.

Revision as of 18:57, 29 May 2010
PostgreSQL BuildFarm is a distributed build system designed to detect build failures on a large collection of platforms and configurations. This software is written in Perl. If you're not comfortable with Perl then you possibly don't want to run this, even though the only adjustment you should ever need is to the config file (which is also Perl).
Get the Software
Download from: pgFoundry Unpack it and put it somewhere. You can put the config file in a different place from the run_build.pl script if you want to, but the simplest thing is to put it in the same place. Decide which user you will run the script as - it must be a user who can run the PostgreSQL server programs (on Unix that means it must *not* run as root). Do everything else here as that user.
Set up a base git mirror that all your branches will pull from.
Most buildfarm members run on more than one branch, and if you do it's good practice to set up a mirror on the buildfarm machine and then just clone that for each branch. As of this writing there are two suitable public git repositories:
The first is the community repository, and is kept very up to date. Unfortunately it is broken on branches earlier then REL8_3_STABLE. The second repository is similar to the first but is not broken on any of the live branches (as of the current writing). When the PostgreSQL project finally moves to using Git, currently expect to be around August 2010, both of these will become redundant. To set up a mirror, do something like this:
git clone --mirror git://github.com/oicu/pg-cvs-mirror.git pgsql-base.git
When that is done, add an entry to your crontab to keep it up to date, something like:
20,50 * * * * cd /path/to/pgsql-base.git && git fetch -q
Create a directory where builds will run.
This should be dedicated to the use of the build farm. Make sure there's plenty of space - on my machine each branch can use up to about 700Mb during a build. You can use the directory where the script lives, or a subdirectory of it, or a completely different directory.
Edit the build-farm.conf file
Put the location of the directory you just created in the config variable "build_root". Set the "scm" to "git" and the "scmrepo" to the path to your git mirror. If you are not using the community git repo, set the "scm_url" to point to where to find a givven git commit on the web. e.g. for my mirror on github, the scm_url should be http://github.com/oicu.pg-cvs-mirror/commit/ (Don't forget the trailing "/".) Adjust the config variables "make", "config_opts", and (if you don't use ccache) "config_env" to suit your environment, and to choose which optional postgres coniguration options you want to build with. You should not need to adjust any other variables. Check that you didn't screw things up by running "perl -cw build-farm.conf".
Change the shebang line in the run_build script.
If the path to your perl installation isn't "/usr/bin/perl", edit the #! line in run_build.pl so it is correct. This is the ONLY line in that file you should ever need to edit.
Check that required perl modules are present.
Run "perl -cw run_build.pl". If you get errors about missing perl modules you will need to install them. Most of the required modules are standard modules in any perl distribution.. The rest are all standard CPAN modules, and available either from there or from your OS distribution. When you don't get an error any more, run the same test on run_web_txn.pl. When all is clear you are ready to start testing.
Run in test mode.
With a PATH that matches what you will have when running from cron, run the script in no-send, no-status, verbose mode. Something like this:
./run_build.pl --nosend --nostatus --verbose
and watch the fun begin. If this results in failures because it can't find some executables (especially gmake and git), you might need to change the config file again, this time changing the "build_env" with another setting something like:
PATH => "/usr/local/bin:$ENV{PATH}",
Also, if you put the config file somewhere else, you will need to use the --config=/path/to/build-farm.conf option.
Test running from cron
When you have that running, it's time to try with cron. Put a line in your crontab that looks something like this:
43 * * * * cd /location/of/run_build.pl/ && ./run_build.pl --nosend --verbose
Again, add the --config option if needed. Notice that this time we didn't specify --nostatus. That means that (after the first run) the script won't do any build work unless the Git repo has changed. Check that your cron job runs (it should email you the results, unless you tell it to send them elsewhere).
Choose which branches you want to build
By default run_build.pl builds the HEAD branch. If you want to build other branches, you can do so by specifying the name on the commandline, e.g.
run_build.pl REL8_4_STABLE
so, once you have HEAD working, remove the --verbose flag from your crontab, and add extra cron lines for each branch you want to build regularly. You could have something like this:
6 * * * * cd /home/andrew/buildfarm && ./run_build.pl --nosend 30 4 * * * cd /home/andrew/buildfarm && ./run_build.pl --nosend REL8_1_STABLE
Register your new buildfarm member.
Once this is all running happily, you can register to upload your results to the central server. Registration can be done on the buildfarm server at http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/register.html. When you receive your approval by email, you will edit the "animal" and "secret" lines in your config file, remove the --nosend flags, and you are done.
Please file bug reports on the tracker at pgFoundry
Running on Windows
There are three build environments for Windows: Cygwin, MinGW/MSys, and Microsoft Visual C++. The buildfarm can run with each of these environments. This section discusses requirements for the buildfarm, rather than requirements for building on Windows, which are covered elsewhere.
There is almost nothing extra to be done for Cygwin. You need to make sure that cygserver is running, and you should set MAX_CONNECTIONS=>3 and CYGWIN=>'server' in the build_env stanza of the buildfarm config. Other than that it should be just like running on Unix.
For MinGW/MSys, you need both the MSys DTK version of perl installed, and a native Windows perl - I have only tested with ActiveState perl, which I have found to be rock solid. You need to run the main buildfarm script using the MSYS DTK perl, and the web transaction script using native Perl. that mean you need to change the first line of the run_web_txn.pl script so it reads something like:
You should make sure that the PATH is set in your config file to put the Native perl ahead of the MSys DTK perl. It's a good idea to have a runbf.bat file that you can call from the Windows scheduler. Mine looks like this:
@echo off setlocal c: cd \msys\1.0\bin c:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe --login -c "cd bf && ./run_build.pl --verbose %1 >> bftask.out 2>&1"
Set up a non-privileged Windows user to run this jobs as. set up the buildfarm as above as that user. Then create scheduler jobs that call runbf.bat with an optional branch name argument.
Microsoft Visual C++
For MSVC you need to edit the config file more extensively. Make sure the 'using_msvc' setting is on. Also, there is a section of the file specially for MSVC builds. As with MinGW, you need a native Windows perl installed. It appears that Windows Git does not like to clone local repositories specified with forward slashes (this is pretty horrible - almost all Windows programs are quite happy with forward slashes. Make sure you specify the repository using backslashes or weird things will happen. Again, you will need a runbf.bat file for the windows scheduler. Mine looks like this:
@echo off c: cd \prog\bf c:\perl\bin\perl run_build.pl --verbose %1 %2 %3 %4 >> bfout.txt
You will also need a tar command capable of bundling up the logs to send to the server. The best one I have found for use on Windows is bsdtar, part of the libarchive collection at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/. This is also a good place to get many of the libraries you need for optional pieces of MSVC and MinGW builds.

German Parliament to decide on Patriot deployment
Turkey has applied to NATO for the deployment of Patriot missiles along its border with Syria. The decision was announced by NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on 21 November. The mission is intended to be of a purely defensive nature.

Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said during the budget debate in the Bundestag, Germany's Parliament, that at first glance he believed the application fulfilled the German Government's criteria. For instance, the mission would be of a purely defensive nature, with no offensive operations being supported. Should that evaluation prove to be correct, he went on, the German Government would recommend that the Bundestag approve the deployment of German soldiers required in this context. He saw no reason to reject Turkey's request, the Minister said, citing the importance of solidarity within the Alliance.
Turkey wants to use the Patriot missiles to protect its territory against Syrian attacks. Apart from the USA and the Netherlands, Germany is the only NATO country to own the most advanced version of the Patriot missile defence system. First of all, NATO intends to send a fact-finding mission to Turkey. Defence Minister de Maizière announced that the German Government would now draft a mandate as soon as possible, to be put before the Bundestag for approval.

Dooney & Bourke. The name is an American classic, but I'm willing to bet there's a lot you don't know about how these duck-branded handbags and accessories got to be so popular (besides their good looks, that is). Here's the breakdown.
1975: Peter Dooney and Frederic Bourke launch their namesake leather goods line in South Norwalk, CT. Preppy striped surcingle belts and oh-so-dapper suspenders form the foundation of the business.
1981: Dooney & Bourke branches out into the handbag biz with the release of their Tack Case and Equestrian Bag, both made from bridle leather.
1983: The brand releases its first All-Weather Leather (AWL) handbag collection. Moisture slides off the 100% waterproof leather like water off a duck's back, hence the line's distinctive oval leather duck logo.
1997: Dooney.com launches, introducing lots and lots of American-made handbags and accessories to the interwebs.
2006 – 2008: Young celebs Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere collaborate with Dooney & Bourke to create namesake styles – a.k.a. the "Emma" and the "Hayden" – that add versatility to the brand's offerings.
July 24, 2013: This now-iconic leather goods brand makes its Rue La La debut. Oh, happy day.
Our Dooney & Bourke Boutique opens Wednesday, July 24, at 11AM ET.

Telling Stories
Telling Stories
Two years ago the San Mateo County Library won a grant to participate in the statewide "California of the Past Digital Storytelling Project." The Pacifica and Half Moon Bay libraries started recording short oral histories from local community members. These stories were turned into mini-movies that capture the thoughts, emotions, and memories of people who make up our local communities. The collection so far includes 49 stories recorded in Pacifica and Half Moon Bay.
We are proud to announce the project has grown and, with thanks to the California State Library (with funding from the US Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act), we now have more equipment to capture even more stories from the communities of San Mateo County. Currently the story station project is at the Brisbane and Belmont Libraries.
Glimpses of the Past
Those of us who have been involved in recording these stories never cease to be amazed at the enlightening experience one can have by simply listening. We invite you to listen to the stories told by your neighbors and enjoy the experience for yourself.
"Coastside War Stories" by Ray Martini. World War II veteran Ray Martini tells of his adventures in the Air Force during the war. Ray is a native Coastsider who was recently awarded a proclamation from the French government, honoring the him for his bravery during the war. The end of his story includes a particularly touching memory.
Also check out "Memories of Pacifica" by Helen James. Long-time resident and volunteer extraordinaire Helen James talks about various memories she has of living in Pacifica, including one of the rare times it actually snowed.
In "My Grandmother" by Erica Lopez, a Pacifica teen honors her Grandmother who recently passed away. Listening to this story reminds us to enjoy the time we have with those we love.
Visit the web site, San Mateo County Stories. The main site for the California project is Digital Story Station.
Get Involved
If you would like to participate, or know someone who does, please feel free to contact the Belmont or Brisbane Libraries. This project is for all ages! You can also see the stories on the Volume One collection DVD of "California of the Past: Pacifica / Coastside Stories" available in the Pacifica Libraries. If you'd like to view stories from the larger collection throughout California, see the "California Of The Past Digital Stories From The Golden State 2007-2010" video.
Author Bio:
Kim currently works at the Pacifica Libraries and thinks the library is a great place to listen to people's stories. The California of the Past digital storytelling project offers a way for our community members to tell and preserve their stories for anyone willing to listen to them. We invite you to listen, enjoy, and participate in this state-wide project. It is most definitely time well spent!

Rōshi's Jinchūriki Forms
Revision as of 12:05, May 22, 2013 by LeafShinobi (Talk | contribs)
this wiki
Rōshi was the jinchūriki of Son Gokū — the Four-Tails. Not much is known about Rōshi or his tailed beast except that it had ability to mix its earth and fire natures to create lava, which it spewed from its mouth. Due to being its jinchūriki, he also possessed this ability. Rōshi was eventually captured by Kisame Hoshigaki and the beast extracted, causing his death. However, during the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was reincarnated and made into a jinchūriki once again, yet the Eight-Tails remarked that his tailed beast felt "different".[1]
Version 2
Whilst reincarnated, Rōshi displayed the ability to enter a "Version 2" form, by moulding its chakra into a human-like shape around himself. When entering into this form, the sudden increase in chakra was such that it instantly vaporised Killer B's ink clone, which had immobilised him at the time.[2]
In addition to forming a dark chakra cloak around his entire body, he also gained prominent tufts of fur along his back and the characteristic horns of Son Gokū on his forehead. With the power granted by this form, Rōshi not only manifests all of his beast's four tails, but also becomes able to summon even larger torrents of lava than normal almost instantaneously, which can erupt violently upwards from the ground.[3]
Partial Transformation
After being reincarnated, Rōshi demonstrated the ability to manifest one of the beast's tails.[4] In this form he can envelop himself in an armour made of lava. The extreme heat generated by his armour is strong enough to burn his opponent, even without coming in direct contact with them.
Full Four-Tails Form
While fighting Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B, Tobi forcefully transformed the revived Rōshi into his full Four-Tails form. In this form, he takes on the appearance of Son Gokū itself, allowing him to manipulate the full extent of the beast's considerable physical strength, with which he was able to easily throw B despite him being in his full Eight-Tails form.[5]

In yesterday's analysis of Sandy (read HERE if you want to catch up) I presented two different options for this storm. Option 1: A Midatlantic landfall and a lesser hit for Maine. Option 2: Hybrid-mega storm worthy of the Perfect Storm II title.
I chose Option 1 yesterday morning, and I'm sticking with it today.
The latest computer models have snapped into alignment with the European, which had the hard left hand turn into New Jersey as of yesterday morning. (I'm telling you the Euro model SMOKES the others in the mid range every time. It's almost boring how predictable it is).
Now if you turn on the Weather Channel, or any other national media outlet, you will notice that the official National Hurricane Center track has Sandy WAY south of us, making landfall closer to Washington, D.C. If this scenario were to verify we'd be looking at a pretty weak impact in Maine. It would be rainy, and a bit windy, but nothing to get too worried about.
HOWEVER, I say not so fast with this very southern track. The weather world has jumped on the European model bandwagon at this point and is now taking its output as straight gospel. This is a very bad thing.
It's hard to explain, but I've noticed a trend when watching Nor'easters and Tropical system tracks for 5 or more days...there's a pattern: 1) There is a big difference in the track early on, so you have to choose which model you believe. This happened yesterday when I had to choose the Euro over the GFS Perfect Storm II solution. 2) One model snaps into alignment with the other. As I mentioned it's most often the Euro leading the way and the others following...this phase happened yesterday afternoon with Sandy. 3) This is where it gets interesting for us. I've noticed almost EVERY time after the other models jump on board the Euro train there is a correction BACK to the original "wrong" track at least a little within the 3 day time frame. SO many times the Euro has had Nor'easters going west when the others have been out sea...they eventually snap into a more westward track, only to have the actual path be somewhere in the middle.
So that's a long way of telling you I'm going for a New York City area landfall of Sandy.
What does that mean for Maine? A pretty good storm still but not the storm of the century.
The timing is such that rain will begin late Monday and winds will pick up steadily overnight Monday. By Tuesday morning winds will be in the 50 MPH range over southern Maine and more like 40 MPH over the Midcoast and Downeast.
As the storm continues to spin and curl across the Midatlantic it will stay windy and wet through Wednesday before MAYBE clearing on Thursday afternoon. Total rainfall amounts aren't huge. Sure, it'll rain but I don't see 3-4" like was on the table yesterday. More likely we end up with 1-2" of rain with some locally heavier amounts.
That's my current feeling on the storm. I can't TOTALLY take a stronger solution off the table yet, but as we get closer I feel confident that the Perfect Storm II is not in our immediate future.
As usual, stay with us through the day and the weekend. I'm not done watching this bad boy.

May 4, 2016
Despite limited evidence of fraud, 11 states approved new rules over the past two years requiring people to provide identification when they vote.
Some laws mirror those in Indiana and Georgia, the first to adopt strict ID rules.
An Associated Press review of absentee ballots from those states found that more than 1,200 votes were tossed during the 2008 general election.
The numbers suggest that the legitimate votes rejected by the laws are far more numerous than the cases of fraud that the rules are trying to prevent.
Thousands more votes could be in jeopardy for this November, when more states with larger populations are looking to have similar rules in place.
More than two dozen states have some form of ID requirement.

President Obama's use of marijuana may be old news to some, but a new book aims to highlight a new angle on the situation.
A review of Washington Post associate editor David Maraniss' forthcoming book "Barack Obama: The Story," has generated renewed talk on Obama's pot-smoking past as it included an excerpt about the Commander in Chief's circle of friends, which nicknamed themselves the "Choom Gang."
In the book, Maraniss details how Obama spent a lot of time at the Punahou School in Hawaii with a "self-selected group of boys who loved basketball and good times and called themselves the Choom Gang. Choom is a verb, meaning "to smoke marijuana."
"As a member of the Choom Gang," Maraniss writes, "Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends." One of those was: "Total Absorption" or "TA." "TA was the opposite of Bill Clinton's claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled," explains Maraniss. If you exhaled prematurely when you were with the Choom Gang, "you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around."
Maraniss further states that Obama was known for his "interceptions," which involved him elbowing his way in, out of turn when a joint was being passed around, shouting "Intercepted!" and taking an extra hit." In addition, the author noted how Obama helped popularize a concept known as "roof hits."

Video: FBI Says Terror Suspect Tried To Detonate Bomb In NYC
NEW YORK (WUSA) -- A 21-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning in downtown Manhattan after allegedly trying to detonate, what he thought, was a massive bomb at the New York Federal Reserve Bank, federal officials said.
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested by the FBI as a result of an undercover operation.
Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst and counter-terrorism expert says the sting operation was textbook and efficient undercover work by FBI agents.
However, he believes the timing of the arrest may be politically motivated.
Johnson said, "The White House welcomes a chance to divert attention from it's bungling in Benghazi."
He added that this is an opportunity for the Obama administration to flex its muscle and show that they are capable countering terroristic threats.
Johnson continued, "The Department of Justice has a significant control of the timing on when they would launch this kind of arrest."

Miss Tanzania contestants have continued their northern Tanzania entourage that included the graveyard of the late Prime Minister Edward Sokoine in Monduli over the weekend.
The beauty continent was welcomed by the late premier's daughter Namelok who is a special seat Member of Parliament for ruling political party, CCM.
Miss Sokoine briefed the visitors on her late father's political career before visiting the cemetery.
Namelok also told the contestants on the importance of sensitizing the public on tourism activities.
She also told them to make use of the opportunity in highlighting the need for Maasai families on the importance of education.
Vodacom Tanzania's information officer Matina Nkurlu who accompanied the beauty contestants said it has been a worth for the entire contingent after gaining knowledge.
The visitors also toured Maasai Girls School before having dinner with the Sokoine family members.
The Miss Tanzania contestants are still touring other tourist destination in Northern Tanzania including Ngorongoro national park.
Miss Tanzania contest will be held at the Mlimani City in Dar es Salaam on September 10.

Solar cookers have been used in refugee camps in recent years, often with thousands of refugee families preparing a large part of their daily meals on solar cookers. Project evaluations have shown that fuelwood use has been reduced by up to 40%. Solar Cookers International has carried out projects in Kenya and Ethiopia, and is currently partnering with the KoZon Foundation, Tchad Solaire, and Jewish World Watch in the Darfur refugee camps in Chad. A November 2009 report from onsite visit to the Touloum Refugee Camp shows strong uptake of solar cooking by refugee families.The refugees in some camps are not given any firewood to cook their daily rations. They have to travel, sometimes overnight, as far as 30 km to collect firewood. In other camps, the refugees are not allowed to gather wood in the area surrounding the camp. In this case, the refugees may be forced to trade some of their food rations for firewood or charcoal with which to cook their remaining meager rations.
The greatest effort is now being put into providing solar cookers for the Darfur refugees in Chad. For more information on this effort and to make a donation, please see Jewish World Watch.
News and recent developments
- January 2012: Jewish World Watch has provided a grant of $200,000 USD to the UK NGO Cord to provide CooKits to refugees at the Farchana Refugee Camp in Chad. This new project brings the number of refugee camps where solar cooking projects are underway to ten.
(See individual refugee camp pages below for more extensive news.)

Halloween is a dilemma for many parents. They want to curb the candy but they don't want to be the candy cop. Why not try a new approach? Turn this challenge into a learning opportunity for your children.
Halloween is just one of the many holidays and celebrations that tempt us with goodies. Clients tell me how football Sundays, birthday parties and other holidays sabotage their weight control efforts. Maybe it wouldn't be so tough in adulthood if these were learned behaviors earlier in life.
Before Halloween, have a conversation with your children about how they will handle the candy landslide. Adolescents should be mature enough to participate in this discussion. Ask for their ideas about how much candy is too much and what can be done with the excess.
Keep the conversation open and nonjudgmental. It might involve some coaching and even some bargaining. For example, you might negotiate with your children that they'll sit at the table to enjoy a few pieces of their candy, rather than plopping down in front of the TV and mindlessly munching their way through it.
On Halloween night and the days that follow, check in. Ask your children to assess their plan. How do they feel it went and how do they feel physically? What might they do differently next time?
Share your thoughts, suggestions and words of encouragement for other parents.
Here's to happy and healthy children,
Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.

Because of scares with apples & home-made products, we have taken to giving out nuts & peanuts , all in their shells. Children who are allergic to nuts should not be out on Halloween, as most candies contain them. Even raisins sometimes are coated with vegetable (peanut? seed?) oil, which some kids may be allergic to.
We wonder how many kids never ate a nut because of diets full of candy & other sugary, salty, highly processed junk.
We let our children eat as they wanted on the day after Hallow'een. Then the candy was reserved for dessert time at meals when it could be substituted for whatever I had planned. Usually, my kids preferred the pudding etc. that I had prepared. It varied with the child. Usually by Easter the stuff was forgotten about and was examined one last time and then the few forgotten choice bits removed and the rest thrown out as inedible. With one of our children this immediately triggered a costume planning session for the next Hallow'een.
When I was a child we loved the home made stuff but then it was a small town and our parents knew where everything had come from
When my kids were young I would allow them to eat what they want for 24 hours. After that they would "sell" me their candy. We would then go to the toy store and they could choose a new toy. This way they didn't feel "robbed" and I didn't have to be the Candy Police.
My daughter trick or treated for UNICEF and as she got older she trick and treated for the local food pantry. I would follow her and her friends with the car and load up the food in the trunk and deliver to the food pantry. It helped that the local newspaper had an article on this so people were prepared and our local Y offered to keep the food until the next day when the food pantry opened up. It was a way for her to go in character as the rest of the kids but yet give to others. Sometimes people would offer her a candy treat.
I find the articles from the Mayo Clinic interesting and informative. I always appreciate the friendly reminder to include your kids in life's lessons now while they're affordable, rather than when they're expensive (Love & Logic). I like the idea of buying the candy I don't like or freezing it. My kids have their own "bear" container (left over from the Costco animal crackers). All their personal candy goes in it from every event. Right before an upcoming holiday, we clean it out and get rid of all the candy left from the previous holiday so we can start fresh. I have to say that there is usually lots to get rid of, so I'm pretty proud of my kids and their choices. It's always kept in the kitchen and they're allowed one item per day if they choose (which they don't always).
When I was a kid, my dad would always go thru and pick out the good stuff, giving us the excuse of "making sure it's all safe." We got wise and hid it after that! LOL
Halloween is a fun time for kids & families. Have a happy and safe one everybody!!
Last couple years I would only allow my son to pick a few candies to eat from his trick or treating. I hid the rest of the candies. This year, I'm planning to let him choose like 10 candies and then... what should I do with the rest? I don't feel right to throw them all away afterwards but yet I feel horrible to give them away to others since they are so unhealthy. Anyone has ideas what to do with the "leftover/unwanted" candies?
This reading habit of mine took me across a number of tempting and delicious recipes which I am going to prepare for this year's halloween. Uniqueness of these recipes is that they are organic and use natural resources. One is the colored pumpkin fudge, sweet yet healthy, another is pumpkin smoothie that will be a crunchy drink. You can indulge even kids to mold fudge into various scary shapes that they like.
halloween is a time kids like candy. we should switch to veggies, and it will change their point of view.
Furthermore. When I was a kid "treats" did not figure in the equation. Just tricks. Like saving big fire-crackers from July 4th to blow up mailboxes. Or sticking pins in doorbells so that they kept ringing until the homeowner found the pin (if you cut it off it would take a long time to find it), or tipping over things, like in the country tipping over out-houses and in the suburbs (the word didn't exist then) you could usually find something to tip over. We were hateful. Adults hated us. the police hated us. Until W.W. II. Then everybody loved us. Except the Japs and the Germans.
Aw. The poor kiddies. My heart goes out to them. I was born in 1922 and grew up during the Depression (a real one) and I do really sympathize with you folks. It must be awful to have such heavy problems.
As a pediatric dentist, I give out toothbrushes for Halloween. As for the candy, my personal feelings are that parents might sit the younger children down after collecting the loot and have them eat or stuff themselves with as much as they can - perhaps until they are sick. You see, candy isn't that good for you. Then that night some creature comes though the house and takes away the remaining stash of candy. It's gone to where ever.
I can say that my business increases after Halloween. This is likely due to the less healthy daily(or hourly) snacking of these "treats."
I believe it is better to have a less positive experience with the eating of candy than to have these less healthy foods reappear as a daily treat.
I was very encouraged to find this site. The reason being that this is such an informative post. I wanted to thank you for this informative read of the subject.
I definitely savored every little bit of it and I submitted your site to some of the biggest social networks so others can find your blog.
Actually I find out about Article related about Health Nutrition, but I can't found it on Google, hope you can write that topic for me, it's my pleasure to visit again your website .. ^_^
Halloween comes once a year. A big part of the fun is getting the "treat" that you don't have usually such as candy. Kids also learn moderation by being given an opportunity to participate in choice making. If concerned about the amount of candy gathered and consumed maybe it's better to limit the number of trick or treating stops. Try an orange and black dinner (all food either orange or black) followed by trick or treating to the immediate neighbors.
We buy little balls of cheese wrapped in red cellophane paper.
We are known as "the people who give out the cheese"
Freeze extra candy (e.g. chocolate bars). It won't always stop me from eating it, even frozen, but it does delay the eating and hopefully allow my better decision-making to kick into gear.
Two words "silly bands" these are a hot toy with kids and giving a kid a couple silly bands will make your house the best one to go to on Halloween...if that is what you want.
Produce Junction sells fruits and vegtables for a great price for a few dollars you can get 15 apples which is a nice fall food and delectable to the youngsters.
I have to tell you that one or two home made cookies doesn't affect the body. but the cookies from shops have chemical contents used in them which end up in obesity, lack of nutrition, and diabetes. I love home made cookies!
I like that idea of handing out healthier treats. Kids are still kids and would probably be really disappointed if they didn't get any treats but you gave some great ideas.
I attempt to not purchase candy either. For those years where we have given out something edible, it's been more along the line of mini microwave popcorn or baggies of animal crackers or pretzels ---- at least something outside the gooey chocolate genre. For those years where it was non-edible items, we've used miniature cans of play-doh or silly putty, pens, pencils, etc. There are many catalogs available where these items may be purchased in case lots and care cost-effective compared to anything chocolate!
I buy candy I don't like, that way I won't be tempted to eat it. I like the pencil and spider ring idea too. Thanks!

IMCA Champs Get an Unexpected Bonus from TomCat PerformanceMooresville, NC - Racers who won track championships in the IMCA's Modified division got an unexpected surprise when they received a certificate worth $200 toward a new transmission courtesy of TomCat Performance. In case you're wondering: Yes, there are a lot of IMCA Modified track champions. In all, TomCat awarded a whopping $24,000 in product certificates to the champs, even though the drivers weren't required to run a contingency decal or do anything for it during the season. Apparently, it was just a way to support the racing community, and TomCat Performance has already committed to awarding $200 certificates to every IMCA Modified champion again next year. The certificates can be applied toward the purchase of a new RaceGators transmission, which is now legal in the IMCA and will work in all applications where a Bert- or Brinn-style two-speed transmission is used.
Simpson Goes GlobalNew Braunfels, TX - Three cheers for the USA! All-American safety products manufacturer Simpson Performance Products, the largest U.S. based safety manufacturer, says that it is responding to ever increasing demand in Europe by opening a new European market office. Chuck Davies (below right), CEO of Simpson, says the major reason the expansion is possible because of the recent release of the Hybrid series of FIA and SFI approved head and neck restraints. Simpson's new European office will be led by famous Scandinavian racer Jan Phersson (center).
The Rock Gets SaferRockingham, NC - Rockingham Speedway, purchased a few years ago and run independently by longtime racer Andy Hillenberg, is finishing up a major upgrade by completing the installation of a SAFER barrier. This is one of the first tracks we know of that doesn't have a Sprint Cup Series race to invest in the safety device. The barrier is planned to be completed in time for the track's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in the spring. The track already had SAFER barriers up along the backstretch in time for its famous Polar Bear 150 race. "The SAFER barriers that we had in place on the backstretch held up great to the hits they took during the last two race weekends," Hillenburg says. "You hate to see anyone wreck, but it's good to know we've done all that we can to make the track safe."
Southern National ReopensKenly, NC - After all the bad news about one track after another closing down, we're happy to report one coming back to serve the racing community. Southern National Motorsports Park, a 0.400-mile paved oval in Kenly, North Carolina, will be back up and running for the 2012 season and backed by a NASCAR sanction. As this went to press, the track's new owners are planning a 22-race schedule with most events taking place on Saturday nights. The feature event will be the NASCAR Late Model Stocks running either a 150-lapper or twin 75-lap features most weeks. "Southern National Motorsports Park is a great facility for fans and race teams alike," says NASCAR vice president of the regional and touring series George Silbermann. "(New owners) Michael Diaz, Jerry Brown, and Jim Dean have formed a great team to put this track back on the map."

ARCA Co-Founder Mildred Marcum PassesToledo, OH - The racing world lost a part of its history. Mildred Marcum, matriarch and co-founder of ARCA, passed away recently in Toledo, Ohio. Mildred had just celebrated her 98th birthday on January 6, 2012. In 1953, Mildred and husband John Marcum founded a pair of motorsports companies in their home of Toledo: the Midwest Association for Race Cars (MARC), a sanctioning body for organizing and administrating races and licensing and insuring competitors which would evolve into the present-day Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA); and Marcum Promotions, formed to operate the grandstand side of the racing business. Mildred worked in the ARCA home office right up until her birthday.
Crane To Support V8 StockCar Road Racing SeriesDaytona Beach, FL - Crane Cams and the V8 StockCar Road Racing Series have joined forces. Crane Cams will become the title sponsor for the V8 StockCar Road Racing Series for 2012. The Series will now be known as the Crane Cams V8 StockCar Road Racing Series. In addition to championship rings for each class champion and significant contingency payments, eligible competitors will have access Crane's support staff for technical assistance. The V8 StockCar Road Racing Series is a touring, points championship series for stock cars and GT machines. The series debuted in 2004 at Virginia International Raceway and 2012 will mark its ninth year. The V8 series has four classes of cars that compete on road courses including, Sebring, Palm Beach, Carolina Motorsports Park, Daytona, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami, Roebling Road, and Road Atlanta.
For us, the most interesting class is definitely V8 SPO, which is made up of older NASCAR Cup and Nationwide cars with a few Super Late Models thrown in for good measure.
