This was some of the best chicken I've had. I used a whole chicken and cut it up and just used all the pieces. I like to do this anyway because it's cheaper and you can use the carcass to make stock. We smoked ours on the grill using the wood chips and it came out so juicy and flavorful. We'll definitely make this again and again.
Jacqui's Jerk Chicken
From EatingWell: January/February 2010
Sweet, savory and spicy all at once, Jacqui Sinclair's jerk marinade is absolutely addictive. Try it on pork loin, firm white fish or even goat if you can find it. The wood chips are optional if you're grilling, but they add an authentic, subtle flavor to the chicken. Serve with a slightly sweet side dish, such as sweet potatoes or cornbread, to balance the heat.
2 Reviews for Jacqui's Jerk Chicken
This is a very good recipie. I used skinless chicken thighs only and because it is January and I live in Minnesota grilled them inside on a Foreman grill . The marinade went together quickly and will definitly be making this again.

Simulating rainfall, water change
Is there some thing i can buy at the hardware store to mimic amazon rainfall during water changes that i can just put the water into and walk away? could i use PVC with 16th inch holes drilled at various angles? I used a nozzle with "gentle rain" setting today during a water change and the fish enjoyed it, it also let me "sweep" under the logs and stuff, pushing detritus to a more accessible area of the tank. Since i have a sand bottom, the "gentle" needs to be emphasized here.
A few members have mentioned that slightly cooler water simulates a rain, which promotes spawning... are fish sensitive to sounds or water motion as well?
Also, the plants getting hit with gentle water seems to brighten them up, as well, maybe taking off some of the stuff that settles on them over the course of time?
If this is your 54 gallon with Angelfish,tetra's (snacks) and corydora's, the cooler water at water changes will simulate the cooler rain water that fall's in tropical water's which can be considerably warmer depending on time of day,season.
Could also use product.. "Black water extract" which will give the water a tea colored effect which the fishes would find closer to natural enviornment.
Fishes in wild generally associate rain with influx of food being either washed into the stream or lake from runoff or spawning signal due to cooler rains and temp change.
Could be they spawn knowing that during the rainy season,, there will be lot's of food entering the system which fry can feed on.

Hello All,
I went for my 12 week scan on Wednesday and everything looked fine....or so I thought! The sonogropher said that I was probably more like 12 weeks than 13 weeks pregnant, but that would make sense to me. The only problem is, I just received a report through the post today, and under 'Findings' it simply reads 'intrauterine pregnancy'. I've tried to find exactly what this means on the internet, but all I can seem to see are threads for 'ectopic pregnancy' etc. Surely I would know if the pregnancy was ectopic!! I'm extremely nervous now that something is wrong, does anyone have any idea what this strange term means?

Ltr1-09: State Fiscal Stabilization Fund
Official Letter
Official Letter
April 23, 2010
Dear County Superintendents of Schools and Treasurers:
This apportionment, in the amount of $121,506,147, is made to local educational agencies (LEAs) from federal funds provided to the state under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 (Public Law 111-05). These State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) are one-time, with an intended use to avert layoffs of teachers and other personnel and further education reform in the key areas of teacher quality, standards and assessments, using longitudinal data to improve instruction, and supporting struggling schools. The amount of SFSF funds available to support kindergarten through grade twelve in fiscal year 2008-09 is $2.565 billion, and in 2009‑10, $354 million, for a total of $2.919 billion.
LEAs that applied for SFSF funding and completed the ARRA Section 1512 third quarter reporting requirements covering the period through March 31, 2010, are included in this apportionment. The amount paid reflects 25 percent of each LEA's total SFSF entitlement out of $2.919 billion, less any unexpended award balances previously apportioned. Cash management procedures were implemented in order to reduce the time elapsing between the receipt and disbursement of federal funds, pursuant to the cash management requirements under federal statute and regulations.
Warrants will be mailed to each county treasurer within approximately two weeks from the date of this Notice. For standardized account code structure coding, use Resource Code 3200, ARRA – State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, and Revenue Object Code 8290, All Other Federal Revenue. The California sub-allocation (pass-through) number is Program Cost Account (PCA) 24997. County superintendents of schools are requested to immediately inform LEAs, including direct funded charter schools, of this apportionment.
Entitlements were calculated based on each LEA's share of funding reductions made to seven categorical programs for 2008-09, totaling $355 million, pursuant to Assembly Bill 3 (Chapter 3, Statutes of 2009, Fourth Extraordinary Session, ABX4 3), as amended by Assembly Bill 56 (Chapter 31, Statutes of 2009, Third Extraordinary Session, ABX3 56), and a California Department of Finance letter issued under Control Section 28 of the Budget Act of 2009. Note that reductions in state allocations are simply the basis of determining the distribution of SFSF. These are federal funds and the federal requirements described below govern their use.
A detailed spreadsheet showing the funding reductions in the seven categorical programs included in the entitlement calculation are posted at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/arra.asp.
Use of Funds
SFSF funds may be used by LEAs for any activity authorized under the following:
(1) The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, including Impact Aid, (2) The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, (3) The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, or (4) The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. All LEAs should review the ARRA Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ar/, U.S. Department of Education SFSF Guidance at http://www.ed.gov/programs/statestabilization/applicant.html, and Using ARRA Funds to Drive School Reform and Improvement http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/leg/recovery/guidance/uses.doc.
Pursuant to SFSF Guidance, all SFSF funds are available for obligation until September 30, 2011.
LEA Reporting
LEAs are required to comply with assurances that were included in the SFSF application. This includes assisting the state in the areas of education reform and meeting annual reporting requirements (ARRA Section 1408).
LEAs must submit quarterly reports that cover cumulative activities from the beginning of the grant period. It is anticipated that the next report will cover the quarter ending June 30, 2010. At a minimum, LEAs should anticipate reporting: (1) the total amounts of ARRA funds received; (2) amounts of ARRA grant funds expended on or obligated to projects or activities; (3) the name, description, and evaluation of the project or activity's completion status; (4) an estimate of the number of jobs that were saved or created with the ARRA funds; and (5) for infrastructure investments, the purpose, total cost, and rationale for funding the investment and the name and contact information of the person to contact regarding the project. We recommend LEAs review reporting guidelines recently issued by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Department of Education (ED). (Section 1512(c) and (f) of the ARRA)
Grant Award
The ED award number for this apportionment is S394A090005. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance subprogram number is 84.394A (State Fiscal Stabilization Fund – Education Grants, Recovery Act).
Federal regulations in 34 CFR 80.21(i) also require that any interest earned by LEAs on federal dollars be returned to the ED if the amount is in excess of $100. LEAs should forward interest payments for remittance to the ED to:
California Department of Education
Cashier's Office
P.O. Box 515006
Sacramento, CA 95851
To ensure proper posting of payments, please include the program's PCA number (PCA 24997) and identify the payment as "Federal Interest Returned."
Each recipient and subrecipient awarded funds made available under the ARRA must promptly refer to the ED's Office of Inspector General any credible evidence that a principal officer, employee, agent, contractor, subrecipient, subcontractor, or other person has submitted a false claim under the False Claims Act or has committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving those funds. Information about the Office of Inspector General Hotline is available at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/hotline.html.
If you have general questions regarding ARRA please contact the Government Affairs Branch at 916-319-0821 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For SFSF fiscal questions related to the reduction in categorical programs, please contact Thi Huynh, Fiscal Consultant, Categorical Allocations and Audit Resolution Office, at 916-324-4555 or email@example.com. For questions on the calculation of individual amounts shown in the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund Entitlements, please contact the person identified on the entitlement schedules at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/arra.asp.

We can only hope for a return to News Bingo too!
Ok, i know im old, i accept that im whinging, but can ANYONE tell me where to find quality informative news on TV? (or anywhere for that matter)
No celebs
no surfing dogs
no cross promotion
no made up stories (channel 7 and the latest leadership tensions, im looking at you, this time)
is there anywhere that "news" exists?
Three letters Offal Spokesperson – ABC
@Offal Spokesperson: There's this great place that does nothing but news – ABC news 24.
@Offal Spokesperson
ABC and SBS are the two "free to air" channels where you will find a decent news broadcast in Australia.
Channels 7, 9 and 10 are quite simply not credible when it comes to news.
– They are sensationalist, greedy, blatant and quite frankly an embarrassment.
Thanks Matty, Emma and Reader… if only News 24 was "live" over here in 1974..ooops…. in Perth.
To be fair…having recently discovered the joys of Letters and Numbers on SBS, the slide into world news is fabulous, unfortunately, i still need to go somewhere for my local information.
My recommendation is to stick with news radio if you're looking to be informed..
@Offal Spokesperson, ABC News 24 is live in Perth – everything is broadcast on AEST.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release
Start Date" field.
DEARBORN - From the luxurious materials that will dress its cabin to the sound-deadening features that will provide a quieter ride, the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC delivers the luxury-car experience Lincoln drivers have come to expect.
In its new small premium utility vehicle, the Lincoln Motor Company put emphasis on creating a luxuriously appointed vehicle that limits unwanted road noise, and to offering ultra-luxurious – and in some cases, Lincoln-exclusive – leathers in the interior.
""We're committed to creating the highly crafted vehicles that Lincoln customers expect," said Matt VanDyke, Director, Global Lincoln. "MKZ being named a J.D. Power and Associates APEAL winner is a reflection of that commitment, and we're furthering it with MKC."
MKC introduces Deepsoft leather, a refreshed stance on one of the brand's most storied luxury-car features –Bridge of Weir Fine Scottish Leather seating surfaces. The all-natural, unique-to-Lincoln seat covering will be introduced this summer in MKC and is slated to appear in other Lincoln vehicles in the future.
In addition, MKC will introduce the all-new Lincoln steering wheel. Featuring a thicker rim that provides a sportier feel, the Lincoln steering wheel is wrapped in soft Wollsdorf leather and hand-sewn with Euro stitching to heighten the luxury-car driving experience.
The interior of MKC will also include luxury cues such as real-wood trim and French stitching on the instrument panel and seating surfaces.
"We gave attention to every detail to convey a stylish, luxurious vehicle," said Soo Kang, Lincoln interior design chief. "The structure of the interior allows for openness, and that space contributes to the overall ambience. We want this vehicle to not only meet but exceed the expectations of the new Lincoln customer."
Lincoln also ramped up efforts to provide a quieter ride for passengers, and accomplished it with the inclusion of acoustic laminate glass, felted wheel wells and active noise cancellation. Each of those details contribute to reducing MKC's noise, vibration and harshness rating, shielding passengers from sounds of the road and providing a luxury-car driving experience.
MKC is being manufactured at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Ky. Vehicle assembly is scheduled to begin this spring, and will begin appearing in showrooms this summer.

GOSHEN – Elizabeth Young's improvement has moved right along with her team's. Young, a sophomore pitcher for the North Oldham High School softball team, has seen her fortunes rise this year just as the Lady Mustangs' have. Young has been one of the leaders of a young team that has posted a 6-8 record to date, the best start in school history. Young has played a key role in nearly every game and set the tone early in the second game of the season with a no-hitter over South Oldham in a 13-0 win.

What ever happened to the Dungeon Master?
The other day I was running through a cave with a friend of mine and he said something to me that made me think.
He said, "Man! If I could only have imagined caves looking like this (the virtual environment) back when I played paper and pencil D&D... I probably would have been a lot better at those games."
He was right of course. The MMO has made leaps and bounds toward replacing the old-fashioned requirements of imagination, social interaction, and a basic understanding of the rules with beautiful landscapes, artificial intelligence, and easy to play characters. I wondered to myself then, "Why do I not find these games nearly as fun to play as I used to find paper and pencil D&D to play?" The answer to this, although I had not thought of it before, came as quickly to me then as it would have years ago if asked why I had stopped frequenting whatever hot-spot there was at the time to get my paper and pencil fix. Why? You ask? "Because the GM sucked!" that's why.
Fast forward to today. We have expansive virtual worlds with beautiful graphics, very handsome and/or scary character choices and several genre's to choose from and yet, there are a lot of people floating around INTERNET websites, blogging, or even turning off their computers all together because they simply are not having fun with these games anymore. Everyone seems to think they have a solution but not many are tapping into the true essence of what the problem really is.
The responsibilities of the Dungeon Master or "DM" as they were affectionately called was to...
1. Explain the surroundings to the players. Ok, games do that pretty well.
2. Provide the players with encounters. Yup, games are pretty good at that as well.
3. Run the game within the parameters of the rule-set as non-obtrusively as possible. Games excel at this.
4. (And most importantly) Keep the story interesting and moving forward.
Now those rules were always negotiable. Rule #1 could be enhanced with little action figures, maps, my friends and I even drew a grid on a piece of Plexiglas so that we could lay it over our dungeon maps and account for our movement rates more accurately. Rule #2 could be adjusted to deal with unruly players, i.e. "As you remove the sword from your teammates back a poisonous Asp strikes you for 2D10 points of damage and a save vs death poison attack", or they could be used in the same way to add a little flair to an otherwise boring campaign, "After killing all the Orcs you see the shadow of a large figure looming over the hillside to the west, on closer examination you realize it is a very large Troll and it is not alone!"
Rule #3 was always the choice of the house just like in Monopoly (do we put money under free parking or no?) or any other game. But in a world where rules 1-3 are hard wired and unchangeable without a massive intervention on the part of development, the stress that makes or breaks a game becomes almost entirely placed on Rule #4 which is at best, not that good in most MMO's to start with.
MMO's rely mainly on the player to keep their own story moving forward. The player, if they don't already have a vision or if they have already explored that vision in a previous game, puts that reliance back on the MMO and it's developers who, at any given time, can opt to hide behind the wall of reality and log off of the INTERNET leaving the cries of the unhappy unanswered. This leaves one person or group of persons in charge of making the game fun for those who can not make it fun for themselves. Who is this poor soul you ask that has had all of this responsibility heaped upon them? You guessed it, it's the "Guild Leader."
We have come full circle back to the same old game breaker which is, either the DM sucks or they don't. In cases where the DM or now the GL (Guild Leader) is concerned the task is to find a way to keep guild members inspired and moving forward without being too...too... diligent and scaring half of the membership away. In effect, the Guild Leader gets a small taste of what it feels like to be the publisher of an MMO (who's main responsibility is to keep people playing in order to make money) complete with the option to go with the lowest common denominator (just letting the chips fall where they may) or taking a pro-active (and risky) stance toward a specific outcome. I have heard a lot of GL's say things like "We don't want to scare them away" or adversely complain about membership loyalty all the while not taking into account that the majority of their guild members look to them for direction and guidance.
Individuals who have taken the responsibility of fun onto their selves often find difficulty finding others who share their goals or perseverance and what we end up with is a community of players who lean more toward the A.D.D. in the psychological sense than the AD&D we all came to play.
We have to find out what happened to the "Dungeon Master", where he or she is, and why they no longer visit us with their wondrous stories. I say to look at development first, in game personnel (i.e. GM's) second, and Guild Leaders third. Scrutinize them. Hold them to a standard that speaks to your desire to have fun in these games and then, when those standards are met, respect them for their efforts.
That buddy of mine who was enjoying that cave so much used to be the most disruptive part of the game I ran when we were kids. He was always running around stealing his teammates items, causing problems where problems didn't previously exist, and upsetting the general direction of the game. Instead of throwing him out however, I used what I knew about him to make the game more interesting, and in time my friends came to think of me as a pretty good DM because of it. Sure, there were still nights where some people went home unhappy, but they always came back, and that's because people know the difference between real fun and the kind of fun that comes from drawing negative attention to one's self and they prefer the former over the latter in most cases.
To all Developers, GM's, and Guild Leaders then I say this... Take a chance. Embrace the linear but just don't let them know in advance what is coming, and lead your people to where you know they want to go whether they know it yet or not. You may not have the same kind of fun they are having but you will have fun none the less. At least, that's how it is in my understanding.

WASHINGTON – A Loudoun County couple is facing misdemeanor charges for failing to get their children to school on time — repeatedly.
Amy and Mark Denicore of Waterford face a trial next month because their three children have been late to Waterford Elementary School 150 times over the last two years.
"We aren't perfect and I think the fact that the public school system is trying to criminalize this kind of problem is the real issue," Mark Denicore says.
He says most of those late arrivals have been only a few minutes.
But Loudoun County Public Schools spokesman Wayde Byard says they are obligated to deal with such tardiness.
"It is our duty, as charged by the state, to make sure that student is OK," Byard says.
Mark Denicore, a lawyer, says the fact the school district is moving forward with criminal charges is a bit much.
"The fact that it's going forward is kind of surprising to us," he says.
Byard says they report such chronic tardiness because there might be problems at home.
"If somebody is coming in after the bell when everybody is seated and on task, the teacher then has to repeat the lesson and it is disruptive," he says.
The Denicores are facing fines as high as $3,000 if convicted of the misdemeanor.

I have two computers. A desktop at home and a netbook I use at school. I have grown so tired of having separate files on each system. I have tried sending mails to myself with attached files but it is very cumbersome and I always end up sending wrong/missing files.
I know of dropbox and skydrive but what I really want is to make my desktop computer accessible from outside. For this purpose I think iFolder fits me.
So my question goes - How do I make my desktop computer a server I can access outside my home?
It should be easy to use and I should be able to work from my desktop while it is running as a server?

August 24th, 2010
The New York Times released a graph in which they claim that 17 states have support for marriage equality at 50% or higher. I think that's a pipe dream; the polls I've seen simply don't support it.
But, nonetheless, there is value to be found in looking at the progress made in the past decade and a half. And even if their numbers are off by 5 to 10 percent, there are still a sizable number of states that either support equality or soon will.

This is a very good point, but since i'm on a kick: what is the means for determining quality? For the kernel? For the notebook? For the various frontends? Does every committer weigh in on every decision? What is the role of non-committers? "Plebiscite" style decision making would probably be crippling. If a project can start determining what these heuristics are, maybe the data from its various feeds can help.

At least one core developer has to agree with it, to do the merge. Generally, the larger the change, the more people we'll want to confirm it - but nothing requires the input of the whole core team. We also have a rough guideline that if core contributors disagree about something, we're probably missing something important, and we should spend more time thinking about it.

We do, of course, listen to non-committers, but the core developers sometimes decide that a particular feature would be best developed outside of IPython. There are various technical mechanisms to allow separate pieces of code to work with IPython. I think this is a key part of what Brian was talking about - we can't and shouldn't maintain code for everything anyone wants to do in IPython.

Ā

I liked some of the discussion on your blog post (I think) by the SymPy guys: their users "only use 20%" of SymPy... but every user has a different 20%! What is the broader community's usage of IPython like? Has this been captured before?

Yes, I have some concerns around this as well - I suspect that many of our features are useful to a large minority of our users, and I don't think that's necessarily a problem. Where the user-threshold should be, I'm not sure.

We did do a simple survey in 2011 (http://ipython.org/usersurvey2011.html ). We hope to repeat it this year with a bit more detail.

Best wishes,

I cannot tell you how many ways I make pizza dough and how I like each and every one. But this cold rise pizza dough recipe is about the easiest and most flexible. It also results in a crisp, bistro style pizza. It's better if you let it sojourn in the fridge overnight but even made the same day and left to leisurely rise on the counter, it's awesome. It's featured in the Pizza Chapter of my cookbook, When Bakers Cook available on Amazon.http://www.amazon.com
The ultimate bread and butter bread - baked up in a springform pan for an exceptional shaped loaf. Perfect for sandwiches, mufeletta or with strawberry preserves. A stunning, puffy bread with a bakery store aroma. Fresh yeast is best but instant yeast is fine. Serve this with a big green salad, boiled corn on the cob, picked eggs, and Picnic Basket Chicken or a mix of cold cuts or vegetarian spreads.
Who doesn't love croissants? At hotel school, I was taught to distinguish between "croissants de boulangere" and "croissants de patissiere". The baker's croissants recipe calls for yeast, in addition to milk, water, butter, salt and flour whereas pastry chef croissants are made without yeast, relying instead on the many layers of butter and dough to create flaky pockets. The moisture in the butter turns to steam in the hot oven and "explodes" to form the pockets. This recipe is for the yeast variety. A basic rule to keep in mind, is that the amount, by weight, of the butter and the flour should be roughly equal. Please use unsalted butter only. Do not use shortening or any other fats. The process of folding butter into the dough may appear to be intimidating, but even flawed dough will produce rather outstanding, totally buttery and crisp,croissants. Real butter makes the difference. Make a double batch and freeze some (unbaked) for another day. Bon appétit, take your time and then enjoy buttery, golden, croissants that are the hallmark of classic French baking.
These melt in your mouth. I always say that about my own favourite creations but these really do. I love the combination of cream cheese and sour cream because it makes the ultimate easy to hand but still flaky dough. You can add a touch of vanilla to this dough but it is quite delicious without it and the butter taste is more pronounced I created these when I was a pastry chef in training at hotel school and it is still my favorite. Three very competitive male chefs in my class traded their best and most secret formulas for Gateau St. Honoree, Black Forest Cake, and Tarte Tatin for this recipe. If they are making rugulah at the Ritz Carleton in Montreal these days, guests have me to thank. I fill my Hanukkah rugulah with either softened unsalted butter, sugar and cinnamon or apricot jam, ground nuts and raisins. I have a wardrobe of rugulah and these are my new perfect 'little black dress' of rugulah. There are a ton more in my Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking cookbook, new edition, Whitecap Books 2009.
This should be called the World's Best Almost Too Rich But Incredible Rugulah Dough. t is outrageously good (and different). Crisp, pastry that is the richest rugulah dough I ever made but oh so good. I love all sorts of rugulah but let the record show - those made with tons of butter are best.
Roll this thin (chill a bit before baking if you have time), bake and then count compliments. A wonderful gift recipe.
This is the one to turn to for quick pancakes, scones, and my version of Red Lobster's famed garlic biscuits. You can use butter in this recipe instead of shortening or half and half but then keep the mix in the freezer. Use www.SacoFoods.com famed Saco Buttermilk Blend for these.
The simplicity of this traditional recipe will surprise you.Make this by creaming or, if you have a large food processor, by cutting the butter into the flour. It makes a tender dough you do not have to fiddle or otherwise futz with and yields a tender, pastry-like strudel - touch cakey/touch pastry -totally buttery/delicious. Make it up to 2-3 days ahead.

I am a private investigator, and I love using my Subaru for work. I can always count on my Legacy GT to get me out of a dangerous situation. It's fast, agile, comfortable, and safe – the best car for the job.
I found these two Subaru 360s while working in South Carolina. Such humble beginnings! Thank you, Subaru, for building such great cars.
– Grant Hendey, Burlington, NC
While I've moved on to a 2009 Outback Impreza Sport, we frequently use our older Subie – a 1997 Outback. One day my dad decided to take a look under the hood to check fluid levels. He had a little "helper"
– Stephanie Supple, Boulder, CO
In March during our annual weekend quilting bee in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, eight Subaru vehicles out of 11 cars were parked in the driveway of the woman's home hosting the event. An Impreza driver came down from New Hampshire, one Outback driver was from Massachusetts, and the remaining Outback and Forester vehicles were registered to Rhode Island drivers, along with the Legacy parked inside the two-car garage!
We all joked that the driveway looked like a small Subaru dealership. Even our weekend chef drove a Forester!
– Cynthia Yemma Faia, South Kingstown, RI
The kids love going camping, fishing, or anywhere outside in the Subaru. Here is a picture of us going to the neighborhood pool for the first time this year with all of our floats. They thought it was very cool!

Editors note: We recommend maintaining visibility to the rear and to the sides. Always refer to and abide by the weight limits in your Owners Manual.
During a very long road trip, I took this picture of my 2005 Outback wagon on March 18, 2010, about 200 feet below sea level. This is looking southwest at the point where Salt Creek crosses the (gravel) West Side Road in Death Valley National Park, California.
Telescope Peak, 11,049 feet, is visible high in the center distance. Despite the snow on the mountaintops, it was about 90 degrees at the time; and that's salt, not ice, on the right.
Oh, the kayak? Yes, I did (barely) paddle my boat the next day, on the shallow temporary lake that formed this year near Badwater, at -279 feet.
– Alan Silverstein, Fort Collins, CO
Editor's note: Use of a kayak carrier is recommended.
When I bought my new 2009 Forester, my husband, Ed, was happy to receive my 2000 as a hand-me-down. Our dog, Star, frequently goes on rides with him, and she was happy to switch to the 2000 Forester as her primary ride. But after about a year, Ed was yearning for a new Forester, too, so he got one.
But what to do about Star? She loved the older Forester so much. It was one of her "happy places." She is an older dog, insecure, does not like change or having to climb into a higher vehicle. Besides, we now had two nice new vehicles that were dog-hair and dog-smell free.
So, much to the disappointment of several people who were dying to buy it, we decided to keep the 2000 just for Star. The only time it is driven is to take her out – often just so she can enjoy a ride. One of her favorite rides is to the dump, with all its (to her) wonderful smells. And sometimes we just go to the local big box store and drive around the parking lot so she can bark at all the people. She is in doggy heaven being driven about in her Subaru Forester and just may be the only dog in America that owns her own.
– Alison Gomez, Gilbert, SC
True to my word, I took the family camping to Governor Dodge State Park (Wisconsin). It was great – despite a pretty intense electrical storm that had four children and two dogs pressed next to and on top of me for most of the night.
Not one bug bite, though!
I'm attaching my favorite picture of the drive home. Even the dogs were exhausted.

Sometimes the big sister has to show her younger sisters the way. And, when it came to what car to drive, thats just what happened. It may have taken a while, but all three of the Chlopecki sisters (Cathy, Jane, and Jonie) now drive Subaru vehicles.
In December of 2005, it was time for Cathy to purchase a new car. After some time looking, she decided to buy the newly styled 2005 Subaru Outback L.L.Bean® Edition wagon. It didnt take long for Cathy to fall in love with her new Willow Green over Moss Green Subie. As a typical Subaru owner will do, she bragged about her car to others, including her two younger sisters.
Fast forward a bit to the fall of 2008, and, because of an accident that totaled her car, little sis Jonie (the youngest) needed a new car for personal and business use. After talking to big sis Cathy, Jonie headed to her Subaru dealer. Less than one week later, Jonie was the proud owner of a Sage Green Metallic 2009 Forester 2.5X Limited. And, just like her big sister, Jonie immediately became a loyal Subaru owner. Two down, one to go.
All of the discussions among the sisters reminded the middle sister, Jane, that it may be time for a new car. Jane spends lots of time on the New York State Thruway driving 100 miles to the Syracuse, New York, area to visit her grandson, so a car that could get her through less than ideal weather conditions was a must. Having two sisters with Subaru vehicles kind of made the decision easy for Jane. So, she drove away with a 2009 Diamond Gray Metallic Outback 2.5 XT Limited.
– Chuck Catalano, Medford, NJ
It all started with a mothers instinct back in 2003, when my mother felt the Subaru Outback fit her needs and purchased the versatile wagon. Shortly after, my father continued the Subaru way when he purchased his first new vehicle in more than 16 years – a shiny Forester with a sunroof that outshines all others in size.
I continued with the family tradition by purchasing my Legacy the same month I graduated from college in 2004.
Finally, my fiancé purchased his own Subaru – a Legacy GT Limited in 2005.
Our German shepherd, Buca, guards the Subaru vehicles like they are her own! These cars have survived many snowstorms and harsh weather conditions in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We love our AWD!
– Stephanie Hampoian, Lowell, MA

Perez Hilton's biological clock is ticking. The 32-year-old (real name Mario Lavandeira) recently opened up about baby plans and a shift in his blog's attitude. Perez tells Latina magazine:
"My clock is ticking. I definitely feel open and deserving of a quality relationship. And I also really want to have kids. I don't necessarily need a partner for that; I can do that on my own. Adopting is great, but I want to have my own biological children.
I guess that's where the Latino in me comes out," he says with a laugh. "When you have worked so hard for so long, your priorities shift. I think there are more important things in life than what you do for a living."
On the subject of turning over a new leaf on his notorious blog he explains, "I used to justify my behavior saying, 'These are people that choose to be in the public eye, and they need to be prepared for the criticism.' But if I want to encourage others to do good in the world and not hurt each other, then I need to do that myself. I will not be going back to how I used to be. I can't be the boy that cried wolf."
Unfortunately, according to Perez, love is hard to find. "It's hard to date, period," he says. "It's especially hard when you have even the littlest amount of fame and when you're gay. And it's even harder when you're me."
The infamous blogger, pictured here at the unveiling of Lady Gaga's wax statue, also spoke of his parenthood dreams in 2009, stating that he hopes to be a father before his 35th birthday. Perhaps when the baby is born matching pink striped footie jammies can be made?
What do you think of Perez's plans for fatherhood?

Rep. Orcutt defended his comments to Seattle Bike Blog: "You would be giving off more CO2 if you are riding a bike than driving in a car."

5 ways social music tools can build brands and boost business

Digital music and music streaming are more than just social novelties. There are many platforms for creating playlists, streaming artist stations and discovering new music on the Web. Last year we saw the explosion of Spotify, a Swedish-based streaming music service that became the first music service to fully integrate with Facebook, allowing users to share music with their friends.
Social media music services have the ability to integrate into social media and marketing plans, giving us all an opportunity to use music for exactly what it was intended: Bringing us together. Here are five reasons businesses should consider using digital music services to enhance their marketing efforts.
1. Give your customers a take-away. Playlists built via services such as Spotify and Grooveshark have a chart-topping aspect — their ability to be shared. Using services such as Grooveshark or Spotify's partner ShareMyPlaylists.com, businesses can create compilations for patrons to reinforce the memories from an establishment. By giving a public link to the playlist or posting the URL to subscribe, what was background music then becomes a reoccurring thought in your customer's head. It reminds them of a delicious meal, an invigorating workout or that really sassy outfit they purchased while in your place of business.
If you can harness the power of music to allow your customers to associate with you every time they hear a particular song or artist, they're going to be much more inclined to revisit.
2. Showcase your personality. This is a great way to let your colors fly. If you own a little coffee shop and want to keep the atmosphere filled with calm and easy vibes, you can take an evening to compile songs that you feel best fit that climate. That can help you draw your ideal crowd and also introduce new customers to your brand personality. This strategy can also apply to ethnic-themed businesses; a playlist of South American world music not only playing for customers, but offered to them after they leave the business, can help keep their flare for your delicious Brazilian cuisine alive. You can also let your customers know ahead of time if your place fits the mood they're looking to sync with; if I'm choosing a new gym to join, I'd like to know if it's a "C+C Music Factory" type of atmosphere or a "Nickleback" one.
3. Show off your local support. If you host an open mic night, feature regular live music or allow local musicians to sell their CDs in your establishment, making a digital playlist around one featured song of the artist can help spark interest from customers and create new fans. If I'm in a bar, hear a great song playing over the speakers and the bartender can tell me it's a local band whose CD they happen to have for sale behind the bar, I'm more likely to buy it. If your business can be the catalyst of that process, your reputation will grow and you're bound to see positive reactions to your community support.
4. Create shareable content. Making playlists, as GQ demonstrated, gives you content to share among multiple platforms. GQ creates a playlist for Spotify, but hosts the link and song list on their popular Tumblr. Grooveshark playlists can be shared via Facebook and Twitter and even embedded on a number of sites such as StumbleUpon and Reddit. Spotify playlists submitted to ShareMyPlaylists.com have direct links that can be published to all networks as well.
5. Involve your employees. One way to build a personal connection between your employees and business and allow them to really feel a part of the operations is to let them organize the music played during work hours. Similar to the ways wine shops allow employees to recommend bottles or book store employees to have a recommend section, you can do the same with music. This can help spark conversation between workers and the customer and those relationships can be the seed of customer loyalty. People are more likely to revisit a business if they're comfortable and familiar with the people who serve them.
This kind of bonding can really bring together franchises as well. Say, for the sake of argument, an Ann Taylor store in Los Angeles compiles a playlist based on the employee's tastes. That playlist could be passed onto the New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, etc. stores, and soon a bond is created and all of the stores want in on the action. If you can make people feel connected to the place they work and part of the structure, they're more likely to not only stay with the company, but truly be excited about their jobs.
So there you have it! Digital music might not seem like the most obvious tool to implement into your social media or marketing plan, but if done correctly and with pride and purpose, it can create unique content to share across your networks that gives your follower base an opportunity to indulge in something a little different.

adriana pena says:
There is no doubt that music sells, the problem with Streaming Services and Brands is that is yet a nightmare to deal with music rights. After the almost drop off in the industry of DRM´s protocols the industry moved forward again to open formats but still a Brand can not easily sponsor audio streaming needles to say downloading o public execution which is what you suggest in the play list for a coffe shoop. This can not be done with out paying royalties to each editor, singer, or owner commercial rights of a song unless you are a Mom´s & Pap store____Spotify has not yet offered a solution to brands, the most a brand can do is post playlists that should be played some where else, and that some where else better be legal other wise labels have all the legal right to persecute the brand for promoting illegal streaming or even worst illegal downloading or just making commercial profit out of the music they own__
Constance says:
Spotify paid accounts allow you to access and stream all music they have available in your given country. Also, any music you have on your hard drive, such as CD from the bands you chose to play, can be played through the app as well. Once you're on a premium account, which is very affordable, you're fine to play the music offered. That's why streaming services are so convenient. And look at Pandora- so many businesses use it, and the free service at that, to stream music and they're not in any violation.

Hi Everyone - I am trying to figure out my DS. I can't figure out if his behavior is completely normal/age appropriate or whether he's ADHD, immature, or something else altogehter. He just doesn't "fit in" with everyone else - he seems so immature compared to the other kids in his grade. It just doesn't seem like ADHD fits anymore whereas before that seemed to be a more appropriate description of his issues.
Can you describe for me the issues your child has in a school setting and how those are different or the same in another setting such as at home?
My DS is having a really hard time learning and understanding what is going on around him. He seems to lack global awareness. He cannot comprehend written or verbal directions at all. He only cares about what is important to him (fish and the ocean) and has no concept of doing well academically. He has no motivation for any kind of healthy competition with others in his class. He can remember all kinds of things about fish but can't remember to flush the toilet.
I don't really know anything about sensory processing disorder but thought I could ask for details on your experience to see if maybe I am missing something with my DS.
Thank you for your time.

Video: An Absurdly In-Depth Study of the Beach Scene in Jaws
- By Scott Beggs

- April 8, 2015
"Spielberg at his most Hitchcockian." That's how the team behind The Discarded Image (a new video essay series focused on cinema) describes the beach scene in Jaws where Brody watches a ton of potential beach-loving victims, helpless to save a little boy who's ripped apart by the shark. I can't disagree. Mostly...

Using 40 movies from almost 40 years of filmmaking, director and author Steven Benedict has stitched together a visual list of Alfred Hitchcock's style-securing elements. The stuff he returned to repeatedly. The stuff that made a film, you know, "Hitchcockian." No sugar or spice, stairs and trains and stabbings are...

Earlier this week, Alfred Hitchcock celebrated a birthday. Rather, fans celebrated on his behalf. He would have been 115 years old.

Imagine a nonfiction television series focused on greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, pride, envy and wrath. Well, doesn't that just describe the whole gamut of reality TV? Yes, but not in a condemnable way that acknowledges these things as the cardinal sins they are. We need someone to take these vices back...

This moment has proven opportune for a reflection of what the auteur theory means and has meant for film criticism. La politiques des auteurs, which originated in Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s and traveled, distilled but ready, to 1960s popular American film criticism, has irrevocably shaped how we've thought about and...

I was already in love with movies before someone showed me Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca at the tender age of nineteen, but something about it opened up a whole new world of cinema to me. You'd think it was the film's acclaimed director or the mastery with which he brought Daphne Du Maurier's...
Watch: Alfred Hitchcock's Clever Hidden Edits in 'Rope'
- By Scott Beggs
- @scottmbeggs
- October 14, 2013
The most brilliant trick of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope is that it takes place in real time. The second most brilliant trick is that co-star John Dall looks unnervingly like a 1940s era Jason Sudeikis. The result is that, in addition to being the textbook example of a bottle thriller, there's...

13 Ways to Celebrate National Alfred Hitchcock Day
- By Scott Beggs

It's unclear why March 12th is National Alfred Hitchcock Day. It's not his birthday or anything — he was born on a Friday the 13th in August of 1899 — but it doesn't really matter because every square on the calendar is a good one for celebrating the filmmaker's incredible work....

Who in their right mind would want to see a prequel to Psycho? Sequels and remakes have been attempted, but have failed miserably recapturing the original's magic.

As much as Hitchcock is a romantic bio film comedy, it's also very much about the ups and downs of filmmaking. Hitchcock may act like a drama queen in the picture, but nearly anyone who's picked up a camera or acted has gone through similar troubles. Speaking with actor Danny Huston,...

Review: 'Hitchcock' Takes A Stab At 'Psycho,' But Clumsily Slips and Hurts Itself
- By Brian Salisbury
- November 23, 2012
Biopics take on a new personality when the subject is an admired figure or, worse still, a personal hero. Alfred Hitchcock's well-deserved moniker, "The Master of Suspense," does little to fully capture the elevated place of regard he holds with cinephiles who count themselves devoted fans, which is to say...

Judas Priest, Anthrax, Disturbed members, and More Send out Best Wishes to Tony Iommi
Jason Le Miere | Jan 10, 2012 | Comments 8 | Tags: Anthrax, Black Label Society, Black Sabbath, Chris Jericho, David Drsiman, Disturbed, Firewind, Fozzy, Frank Bello, Guns N' Roses, Gus G, Judas Priest, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Mikael Akerfeldt, Opeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Blythe, Richie Faulkner, Sebastian Bach, Shawn Drover, Skid Row, Slash, Tony Iommi, Velvet Revolver, Zakk Wylde
After it was revealed yesterday that Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi had been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, members of the hard-rock and metal community have followed the Sabbath's request to send Iommi warm thoughts. Check out the words of support, below, for the man who helped give birth to metal—from the likes of Slash, Zakk Wylde, and Sebastian Bach.
Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne): "Big BL get well wishes out to Lord Iommi!!!"
Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion): "Prayers please for my brother Tony Iommi… We all pray for a full, speedy recover from cancer…. Much love…"
David Draiman (Disturbed): "Everyone please send their prayers/good vibes/best wishes to Tony Iommi for a speedy recovery; he has been diagnosed [with] lymphoma."
Anthrax:: "This really does suck. GET WELL SOON TONY!"
Randy Blythe (LAMB OF GOD): "I absolutely insist that every single follower of mine, religious or not, send a prayer up for Tony Iommi. He has been diagnosed with lyphoma. It's in its early stages—Sabbath is writing a new record, and they are continuing to. Iommi is the reason heavy metal exists. Pray for him. You pray to Crom, Odin, yourself—don't care who. Just send up some positive vibes for Tony Iommi.
"This is terrible news for metal. I've toured with Iommi a coupla times. He is a gentleman and a living legend. Hopefully since it's in early stages they can beat it pretty easily. But Iommi's not a young man, so think good thoughts! It is no secret that I have donated both my time, energy, facial hair, and a fair amount of my money to cancer research. I've walked the walk (literally) as well as talked the talk. However, there's nothing wrong with positive vibes."
Sebastian Bach (Skid Row): "All hail the mighty Tony Iommi. & FUCK YOU, Cancer."
Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind): "I'm in shock to hear the news about Tony Iommi. Get well soon 'Iron Man'!! Your biggest fan."
Slash: "Best wishes for a full recovery to Tony Iommi."
Frank Bello (Anthrax): "Get well soon Tony!!"
Chris Jericho (Fozzy): "Best wishes and prayers to Tony Iommi in these tough times. The MASTER of the riff will crush his cancer with the power of metal (and God)!!
Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth): "Just read the news, and it's perplexing and shocking to say the least. On behalf of the band and, I'm confident to say, the whole population of rock music lovers in the world, we all wish for a swift recovery for Tony. Get well!"
Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest): "My thoughts go out to Tony Iommi and I wish him a fast and full recovery."
Michael Amott (Arch Enemy, Carcass): "Here's hoping for a solid and speedy recovery for my guitar hero Tony Iommi!"
Shawn Drover (Megadeth): "Tony Iommi – Please get well soon!!!!!!!!!!!!"

« Too Many People | Main | Fiona Godlee: Editor with an Agenda? »
Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The British Medical Journal published an article today (HERE) attacking Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his work towards a better understanding of the medical issues involved in the development of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Dr. Wakefield co-authored the case series reported in the British Journal, The Lancet, in 1998, which identified a novel inflammatory bowel disease in children diagnosed with autism. The association between autism and bowel disease has been repeatedly confirmed by subsequent studies, (1) (2) (3) (4) including a consensus report published a year ago in Pediatrics.(5)
In recent years, US Federal Vaccine Court has conceded multiple times that immunizations have led to cases of autism, or "autistic-like" symptoms, and multiple sub-symptoms associated with the disorder. According to the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in 2008, 1322 cases of vaccine injury compensation settled out of court by the US Government in unpublished settlements. According to a statement from HRSA: "We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."
Yet medical professionals who question vaccine safety oftentimes come under harsh scrutiny and ongoing attacks. "It has been proven time and again that vaccines trigger adverse reactions in certain individuals," states NAA President and parent Wendy Fournier. "While any adverse reaction may be an uncomfortable reality, turning a blind eye to negative outcomes – or attacking those who investigate them – causes the greater amount of harm to the hundreds of thousands of children injected with vaccines each day."
In late 2009, a report released by Centers for Disease Control revealed "an increase in identified ASD prevalence, ranging from 27 percent to 95 percent with an average increase of 57 percent." http://www.cdc.gov/media/transcripts/2009/t091218.htm The report showed that ASD now affects an average of about 1 in 110 individuals and that "…more children are identified with an ASD than in the past. These new numbers are concerning and indicate that even more individuals, families and communities are struggling to find answers." The report also noted, "…a true increase in risk cannot be ruled out. We know there are multiple and complex genetic and environmental factors which result in multiple forms of autism and we have much to learn about the causes."
"But what have we learned since that time?" asks Fournier. "Year after year, we're faced with little to no answers. Studying our children, investigating when and how they regressed, why so many of them have seizure disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and other serious health complications may hold the answers we so desperately need. A historical study comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations for total health outcomes has the potential to help us learn and find critical answers, yet repeated requests for such studies have been denied by our federal health agencies. A character assassination initiative against those who look for answers only serves to stunt medical progress for our children and perpetuate unnecessary public health risks."

That does not address my objection that with a sample size of twelve the results are not statistically significant. With such a small sample size you can by chance get any result. You can just as easily get a positive result or a null result independent of what the actual effects
are. In other words the result are meaningless. This is not the way to do scientific research.

Wendy Fournier nailed it. Public health officials are not looking at vaccine-injured children. They don't want to look. How, then, can they claim this question has been "asked and answered"?

SAND SPRINGS, Okla. (AP) - City officials in Sand Springs are taking steps toward re-establishing a commuter-rail link between Sand Springs and downtown Tulsa.
City Manager Doug Enevoldsen says a rail link is years away from reality, but he says the meetings have been held with Sand Springs Railway officials to discuss the project.
The city is hoping for money from President Barack Obama's proposed economic stimulus package and has submitted a proposal to begin building infrastructure for the rail link.
Sand Springs had an interurban trolley link to Tulsa from 1911 until 1955.

Two Amsterdam clergymen had concerns and asked Mayor John Dwyer to do something about the situation. The Rose Hill Folly Company was planning to perform on Wednesday, November 6, 1889 at the Potter Opera House on Market Street.
The formidable Reverend John McIncrow of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church and Reverend Donald Sprague of St. Ann's Episcopal Church told the mayor the company had an "immoral tendency." The clergymen also asked Dwyer not to allow the "posting of indecent pictorial advertisements of shows" in the city. Continue reading
