EZ-Pour HI-FLO Replacement Spout Kit 30051$9.99
If you are like me, you have cursed the new cans with auto shut off after you spill more gas on the ground than you got in the can. When you finally get gas to pour into the tank, it comes out as a trickle. You could probably refine your own gasoline quicker than it pours out with the new auto shut off spouts. Take the frustration away with the EZ-Pour replacement spout kit. This kit is simply amazing! Many of us here at Rural King have replaced our cans with these units and couldn't be happier. The great part is that this kit comes with a 1/2" replacement push in vent to keep the gas flowing fast and prevent it from splashing out. Did we mention this thing is amazing?

Super Bowl swamis make their picksBy: Jim Linsdau, Sports Editor
There would be no credibility in Gold Country Media Sports if an attempt wasn't made to prognosticate the outcome of Super Bowl XLVII. Of course, it would be folly for me to try and explain my reasons why either the San Francisco 49ers or Baltimore Ravens would lay claim to the 47th Lombardi Trophy, so I asked some of the best and brightest that I know as to their choice.
First to respond was Whitney High School football coach Mike Gimenez. Being a man with vast gridiron knowledge, he selected the 49ers as Sunday's best bet.
After qualifying himself as a 49er fan he replied, "I think the NFC is a stronger conference and believe the 49ers are more athletic than the Ravens."
Obviously, his wisdom runs deep.
Other sages of the gridiron were Press Tribune Sports Editor Bill Poindexter and his counterpart at the Folsom Telegraph, Matt Long. Yes, both took the Niners but neither claim SF as their favorite NFL team.
Bill likes the Raiders and Matt the Steelers; so their inputs were based on football acumen.
"I see matchups on both sides of the ball," Poindexter wrote," but (coach) Jim Harbaugh is a better schemer than brother John."
"I'm jumping on the (Colin) Kaepernick bandwagon," responded Long. "I think he's going to run like he did against Green Bay and the old man Ray Lewis ain't (football jargon) going to be able to catch him."
Matt predicts a 38-24 outcome.
Rocklin Thunder head football coach Greg Benzel made a bold prediction that Baltimore would prevail. A former Raiders' fan, he said he now just enjoys a good game. By that token, he said he's not sure who he will be rooting for come Super Bowl time.
"The Ravens surprised Denver and (New England)," Benzel wrote. "I think they will surprise the Niners as well. Regardless, it will be a great game."
Also picking Baltimore was Gold Country Media Sports Correspondent Joshua Gutierrez. He said he thinks the Ravens' will defend the 49er's read-option better than did either Atlanta or Green Bay.
"I give the edge to the Ravens because Joe Flacco is playing great at the quarterback position right now," Gutierrez wrote. However, he added that Kaepernick could become the NFL's next Tom Brady.
The last vote came in from Lincoln head football coach Ken Lowe. He picked SF based on the Niner's defense and he wasn't being biased. Lowe is a Cowboys' fan.
Earlier this week, a nationwide poll by Facebook and CBS Sports had San Francisco favored 58 percent to 42 percent. No state west of Minnesota picked Baltimore. Surprisingly, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey also were trending toward the 49ers.
Not surprising, California was 93 percent behind the Bay Area club. Maryland was voting Ravens by 95 percent.
The game could well come down to defense, offensive line and the Harbaugh brothers John (Baltimore) and Jim (San Francisco).
Taking all this into consideration, I have to say the winner will be … darn, I'm out of space. I'll have to let you know my pick next week.

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE:SKT)
The Company is fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing factory outlet shopping centers.

"In good times, people like a bargain, and in tough times they need a bargain," - Steve Tanger
Pays a good dividend and the company continues to grow and expand. The leadership knows the market and posted profits over the last 5 years, when other retailers have struggled.
It has limited debt and very higher re-signing of leases.
I have an OUT perform on this stock. They just did a 2 for 1 split on the stock. I see it stalling for 3-5 months then popping around September time frame. Shares are cheap and I see the price being $35 a share by December and a yeild of 2.92% is enough reason to wait for the POP!
They always tell you to pick stocks that you know really well. I have shopped at tanger outlets for a long time. Outlets are the way to go b/c we consumers think we are getting this great deal on clothes even though we are really not. Who benefits from this increased consumption? The owners of the outlet mall.
No one wants to pay full price ITE (in this economy).
SKT: Pardon me, sir, would you like to purchase a factory outlet center?
Me: No!
A REIT that manages shopping centers, with consumer confidence at current levels (and probably remaining so well into the future)?
this almost has to fall. Factory Malls outside of cities. So reatil that is not convient. Come on.
The only savin grace is that maybe the stores offer some value shopping.
I would not touch this long right now.
No research just gut.
Debt-bloated REITs whose business relies on retailers/consumer spending = SELL. It boggles my mind that people still want to own these things. The dividends won't hold up forever. Check out their SEC reports for yourself (balance sheets don't reflect everything).
one of the world's largest developers of outlet shopping centers in the world, Tanger knows the pathway to success. With millions of square feet of retail space in Tanger Outlet Centers across America, our powerful portfolio continues to grow stronger.
For more than 26 years, we have built our reputation one success at a time. Starting with a vision and a strategic plan that are both innovative and achievable... to connecting premier retail entities to great sites that meet the needs of the trade area consumer... to ongoing and highly focused property management... the Tanger difference is about SUCCESS.
We make it happen. We think you will want to be a part of it.
Their customers may possibly do decent, but them personally I don't see it. And by their customers I mean the outlet division of the retailers. A lot of debt and commercial real, and their message board on Yahoo is filled with get rich quick schemes, the type of people who would pump and dump penny stocks, I think that says something for the quality of people looking at buying SKT
commercial real estate
REIT with 63.78 P/E?
21.8 p/cf
Solid performer for the past 12-18 months
Lots of growth here and they are continuing to build. Attractive consumer alternative to internet shopping

Too bad God didn't tell him he should just be a good guy
Have to again credit the Chargers for doing their pre-draft homework.
Former Bolts sixth-round pick Kevin Ellison (pictured below) is in trouble again. Ellison was released by the Chargers following a May 2010 arrest in San Diego on a controlled-substance charge after police reportedly found 100 Vicodin tablets in his car without a prescription.
Now, he's been talking to God.
This from The Spokesman Review out of Spokane, Wash.
"(Ellison) leapt from his burning third-floor apartment in Liberty Lake Thursday (and) said he started the blaze with a marijuana blunt because God told him to, authorities say.
"Kevin Marcus Ellison, 25, ... initially told firefighters that he'd been smoking in bed, but evidence collected at the scene didn't match that explanation, said Spokane Valley Fire Marshal Kevin Miller. Ellison was arrested during a follow-up interview at Deaconess Medical Center where he was being treated for smoke inhalation.
"Later Thursday, a federal agent with the (ATF) contacted Shock GM Ryan Rigmaiden, who said Ellison told him he started the fire with a marijuana blunt at the advice of God, according to court documents."
Trivia time
With the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup, what major professional sports teams in California have not won championships?
That's just good feudin'
There's nothing like a good baseball spat, and Reds skipper Dusty Baker and Indians pitcher Derek Lowe seem to have a good one going in Ohio.
It's unclear when it all started, but it seems to date back to the days when Lowe was with the Dodgers.
"He made up some story," Lowe said of Baker. "A lot of people got involved. People almost got fired over it. You can go ask him right now and he'll say he has no idea what you're talking about."
Lowe faced the Reds on Wednesday and took a brushback pitch from former Padres hurler Matt Latos. Lowe then pointed the bat at Baker in the dugout.
Here's Baker's two cents: "Go ask him since he made it public. Understand what I'm saying? I'll let it rest at that since he's such a big man running his mouth talking about himself."
Haslem OK with ghosts
There's a theory that has circulated around the NBA that the Skirvin Hilton, one of the hotels that teams visiting Oklahoma City use, is haunted. The Heat stayed there on the recent visit. "The ghosts ain't knocked on my door, so we're cool," Miami's Udonis Haslem said.
Trivia answer
The Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, San Jose Sharks, and, of course, your Chargers and Padres.

Jim allows only three annual excursions from Hawaii to speak or counsel with leaders. The normal way to secure his advice is by webcam. A lesser quality exchange is by telephone for radio purposes. Using his illustration skills and arsenal of graphic maps he is best in his studio with access to white boards where he illustrates live or pulls out prepared charts and streams the video live.
An alternative is to e-mail jim questions which he can answer on HDTV and mail a DVD back for editing with the interviewer. The preferred magazine interviews occur with jim on his model eco-homestead so an authentic context is available for reference. All rates are consistent with professional industry standards.

Talk:Ann Arbor
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
hahah :D
Doo wut? Nothing in this article relates to Ann Arbor at all--not even the smattering of names of people and places from Michigan. I intend to clean it up, starting with the new intro and fake Infobox. Y'all are welcome to help. Synchronize on this page. Spıke Ѧ 23:44 28-Oct-10

Thanks! but the patient has now stabilized. The original article is retained, in the section called History, but about half its gassiness is gone. I have added some real-world stuff at the end from memory, but am 800 miles away and do not intend, even temporarily, to remedy that situation. The help it needs right now is from people in the vicinity who might be able to contribute something with hooks to current events in Ann Arbor. Spıke Ѧ 19:01 30-Oct-10

Become an apprentice
There are many initiatives designed to help young people stay out of trouble and make something of their lives.
Jamie Oliver's Fifteen offers a 12-month Apprentice Programme that combines on-the-job-based learning, college-based work, sourcing trips and personal development. It's not just a training course. It's a custom-made programme, tweaked and shaped over the years in order to champion the young people which it recruits. Each year, 18 young, unemployed people, between the ages of 18 and 25, are recruited and trained to become professional chefs.
Each apprentice, while in the Fifteen kitchen, is trained across a number of sections of the kitchen including:
- Butchery and Fishmongery
- Grill
- Hots
- Pastry
- Bakery
- Starters
- Front of House
Over the course of the year, as they develop in confidence and skill, the apprentices begin spending less time at college and more time in the restaurant. This culminates in Apprentice Week where the apprentices take over the Fifteen kitchen for a week, under the watchful eyes of the professional chefs.
Following this, the apprentices spend two weeks working in top-end restaurants to gain experience of how other kitchens work. In the past this has included The Fat Duck, Rhodes Twenty Four and Bistrot Bruno Loubet, to name a few.
It's an intensive programme that requires hard graft and dedication to the end goal, but it's a transformational journey; 90 per cent of apprentices regard their time with Fifteen as a positive, indeed, life-changing experience.
Applications for our course are open throughout the month of May each year. For more information see 'the criteria' below.
A recipe for a successful apprentice...
Fifteen receives about 200 applications every year, but just 18 apprentice chefs are recruited. In addition to the formal criteria, the team of assessors look for candidates who demonstrate:
- A passion for food and cooking
- A genuine desire to be a chef
- Determination to get the most out of the course
- Enthusiasm
- An ability to work as part of a team
- Committed to working long hours, late nights and early mornings
The necessary ingredients...
In order to be eligible for the programme, you should:
- Be between 18 to 25 years old at the start of the course in September
- Be NEET (not currently in education, employment or training)
- Not have a qualification higher than an NVQ Level 1 in Catering or Level 3 in any other subject (equivalent to A Level)
- Be living in the Greater London area
- Be able to work in the UK for the duration of the one-year course, with guaranteed housing
- You must be able to demonstrate a good command of spoken English
No previous experience in hospitality is needed, just bundles of enthusiasm
Ready to get cooking?...
If you fit our criteria and want to apply to our course, please complete the online application form which will be available on our website in May. Remember:
- You must be available for interviews and assessments taking place from early June to the end of July 2016
- You must be ready to start full-time by September 2016
- You'll need to work hard and long hours (late nights and early mornings)
- You'll need to be committed to the programme for one year
How the programme works...
The Apprentice Programme runs for a full year, from September to September. During this time, each apprentice works up to six days per week including formal training at catering college, hands-on experience at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, sourcing trips to suppliers, personal development activities and work experience.
Below is a rough breakdown of the year:
- One-week induction at the start of the programme
- Training:
- one day a week at college (until April)
- one day a week of sourcing trips, work experience taster days, welfare activities, team building sessions or special events
- up to six shifts in the Fifteen kitchen, training in every section including pasta, grill, butchery, fishmongery, front of house and pastry
- Two weeks of work experience at a top-end restaurant chosen according to our apprentices' preferences.
- 'Apprentice Week', where the apprentices take over the running of the kitchen for a week (with the professional chefs on standby)
For the duration of the course, our apprentices receive an £159/week training allowance. Travel expenses are covered and the year also includes a four-week holiday entitlement.
The door is always open...
As well as offering formal on-the-job learning, apprentices are provided with a wider range of support called the 'Open Door Programme' to help them make the transition to qualified chefs. The training team helps with a range of complex issues, which could hinder their achievements, such as housing, debt, relationship problems and anger management. Professional educationalists and counsellors are also on hand to provide the apprentices with the skills they need to make the most of their programme. This is just one way of helping the apprentices to leave behind the negative beliefs they may have about themselves so they can fully embrace what Fifteen has to offer.
As part of the Open Door Programme, apprentices undertake challenging activities to strengthen their team-working skills, which are essential for working in any kitchen. A handful of these include residential challenges, team cooking competitions, fundraising events, treasure hunts, ice skating and bowling.
Cutting the apron strings...
The Apprentice Programme culminates in an annual graduation ceremony. More than 300 people join in to celebrate the achievements of those who successfully complete the programme. Graduates, their families and friends, supporters and partners from other restaurants, welfare agencies and sponsors are all invited. Jamie also attends and co-hosts the event so that he can personally congratulate the graduates. It's a magical event. And by the end of the evening, there's not a dry eye in the place!
After graduation, a dedicated Progression Worker is on hand to help graduates find employment or further training, where needed and well as to offer advice on any ongoing welfare issues. Monthly graduate reunions ensure that previous apprentices stay in contact and help to further their skills.
There are currently 149 graduates from Fifteen's London Apprentice Programme and around 80% of these stay in the buisness.
Progression support is also available to those apprentices who - for whatever reason - leave the programme early.
If you have a job opportunity that you'd like us to advertise to our graduates, please get in touch.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy unveils a video for 'I See a Darkness'
In anticipation of his upcoming Now Here's My Plan EP, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has released a sped up version of the classic track 'I See a Darkness' and released a video for it.
Billy has been known to do this for a few of his tracks and the new version comes off very well, proving you can edit a classic. I'm personally jealous of his dance moves and his beard but maybe that's just me. Yeah, probably.
You can watch the video over at The New York Times.

'Little People' Targeted in Attack
by Tracy Phillips | October 27, 2009 at 9:48 AM | TV News
It's a 'Big' bad 'World' out there.
'Little People' star Matt Roloff's home has been attacked by vandals, reports the New York Post.
Vandals struck at the family's 34-acre farm in Forest Grove, Ore., stealing 14 signs and shooting bullet holes in another sign that reads 'Welcome.'
This is the second time the 'Little People's' property has been targeted by hoodlums.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
"We'll see if we can figure out who did it and then I'd like to ask them why?" Roloff told local TV station KGW.
Matt Roloff, his wife Amy and their four children star in the reality show 'Little People, Big World,' now in its fifth season on TLC.

Tips on Saving for a Trip
Last Updated: 16th Apr 2015

Based on the Contiki Forums Topic Personal Loan or Hard Saving..?

Save on Tour Costs and Flights

Shop around for the best deals for airfares etc You would be amazed at how much prices can vary. Get quotes and do your sums and book early for the most inexpensive tickets, also departing/arriving between Tues-Thursday will cut the ticket cost.

Try and not go in peak season (from June till the end of August & December/school holidays)

Check for deals from both Contiki and travel agents.

Tips on Cutting Down Costs In Order to Save

Cut back on going out…movies,pizza,drinks anything you can think of – a night at home with a DVD and friends is a lot cheaper (and sometimes more fun) than a night out at a club.

Make a weekly or monthly budget (depending on when you get paid). Work out how much you think your trip will cost including spending money and then work out how much you need to save per week, and stick to it.

Bring your lunch to work and don't eat out.

Cut down on little luxuries (for example: Starbucks – only one or 2 small cups a week, saves loads of money).

Buy Generic

Everytime you see something you would like to buy. Stop and ask yourself is it a want or a need. If its a want you can do without it. If its clothing which is your weakness ask yourself if this item can match with 5 different things you have in your wardrobe if it doesnt it is not a smart purchase.

Saving is hard work! Reward yourself when you reach big milestones (ie your first $2000 etc) otherwise you will get bored very quickly.

Getting Money Together

Pay extra on those credit cards you can always use them for the trip as well

If your vacation time happens to fall around a paid day off take advantage of it.

If you have a birthday, christmas, graduation or other event coming up ask for cash for your trip instead of presents – it's a big help.

Get a high % payback savings account to gain interest or an investment bank account where u can out money in but only take it out if u go into the bank. Put anything extra in your bank account after you get your paycheck into your savings.

Try not to take out a loan – suck it up and save save save! – If you want to get a loan ask your parents and swear to them that you will pay them back monthly payments its easier to pay your parents back with no interest than to pay a bank. Parents are usually more lenient if you are late. Make sure you can, will and do pay them back though!

Anything you haven't used in over a year, sell it on ebay.

Paranormal Activity Lacks Suspense
By Monique Dos Anjos
In "Paranormal Activity", nothing could be further from fact than this mockumentary based on a couple experiencing mysterious happenings in their home. Rule number one for couples: find out if your significant other has a history with demons in his or her family before you decide to commit.
In Oren Peli's "Paranormal Activity", it might remind you of a certain film done in 1999 filmed in black and white with a shaky camera. Maybe you've heard of it: "The Blair Witch Project." Although it was one of Peli's influences for the film, the location in which it was shot was originally his own home.
"After people watch "The Blair Witch Project" people said, 'I'm never going camping again.' Peli said. "But if you set up the setting for all the horrific things in someone's bedroom then that's what you're going to be thinking about when you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep."
With many moments that proved brief scare tactics and screams from easy moviegoers, the film looked like it was made in a week, because it was.
Trust me when I say that this movie is nothing you have not seen before. Never before have I seen so much hype about a movie, so much so that the trailers tell the people to request it in their area if it's not yet playing. The "word-of-mouth" promotions from Paramount Pictures are genius. Peli's budget for this film was less than $15,000 and the domestic gross income is $9.1 million, so far.
A couple starts to experience haunted behavior in their house due to a demon that has been following the girlfriend since she was eight years old.
"Paranormal Activity" only opened in select cities unless it was demanded elsewhere. The film is "supposed" to be released on Nov. 5, but at the rate of high demand, most likely everyone that would have wanted to watch it will have seen it by then.
The suspense is too stretched out and the plot is very obvious. The couple, played by actors Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston, was given no script.
"For this kind of a movie to work when it's supposedly a documentary, the most important things to do is to create performances that are very natural so it doesn't look like the actors are reading lines or memorizing lines," Peli said.
Go when there is a packed theater or go with a group of friends. When the hype dies down it won't be that much fun because there is no surprise. The movie is enjoyable, but still, watch it soon if you have any interest in watching it at all.

Big Bet Politics: what craps and poker say about McCain and Obama
God, Albert Einstein said, does not play dice with the universe. All due respect, recent scientific advances show that it isn't whether the Creator does in fact allow chaos to dance with order, and the question isn't whether life is a gamble but how.
Whether or not the deity plays dice, John McCain does. At 14 hours a stretch.
Why should you care? Because all life is risk. It's how we take risks, the time and manner of the chances we take. How you gamble says a lot about you, because the decisions you make while gambling are often metaphors for the way you approach life. This is particularly true in the case of the two major-party presidential candidates, whose games of choice speak volumes about who they are.
Ever wonder why you never see them tear down a casino -- except to build a bigger casino? The answer is math.
Whenever your risk your money, you should ask yourself if the gamble is an overall winning decision. Statisticians and gambling nerds call these calculations expected value calculations.
The idea is to find out if you were to take an action 1,000 times, would you have a positive expectation or a negative expectation? Sometimes you'll win while making a wager, and sometimes, you'll lose. The challenge is finding out how often you'll win, how much, and whether the risk is worth it. The answer for almost every table game is no.
In craps, the decision that gets you the highest expected value is walking away from the table before you roll the dice. If you play the game long enough -- this is also true of slots, or virtually any other pit game -- you will go broke. It is a mathematical certainty.
That's because the house figures in an edge for itself on every wager. For every dollar you bet in a casino pit game, you stand to gain less than a dollar over the long term. Over the short term, you might win. In the long haul, your wallet will become ever-lighter as the casino builds a new wing.
Naturally, craps is McCain's chosen addiction.
McCain is an avid gambler. Wes Gullett, a close friend who worked for McCain for years, told me that they used to play craps in Las Vegas in fourteen-hour stints, standing at the tables from 10 a.m. to midnight. "Craps is addictive," McCain remarked, and he headed for the fifteen-dollar-minimum-bet tables. At the most obvious level, the game is incredibly simple—players rotate turns throwing the dice, and you either win or lose depending on what number comes up. But McCain's betting formula makes it much more complicated. "Uh-oh!" he cried, as a player accidentally threw the dice off the table. "This is a very, very superstitious game," he said.
Call it superstition or a system, you keep throwing those dice, you're going to lose money. There are only two games in a typical casino where, over the long term, you can turn a profit. One is blackjack, if you can count cards effectively and find a casino where they've never heard of the MIT blackjack team.
The other is the game of choice for McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
Obama plays poker. Significantly, the popular card game is the only common casino enterprise where you don't play against the house. You play against other players, and over the long term the money migrates from the lesser players to those who are more skilled.
The house makes its money from the rake -- a small percentage taken out of every pot -- so the casino's edge doesn't make long-term profit impossible for every player. As long as your skill level is enough to overcome the rake's disadvantage, you can show a profit. The casino gets to keep building ever-larger additions, and the successful card shark makes cash.
Everybody wins, except the losing players. This is why it's possible for there to be a steady population of professional poker players, but never any pro dice shooters or slot junkies. This isn't to say it's easy. Most people who play lose money at poker. But rare people are able to excel, and even Obama's Republican colleagues from Illinois -- no fans of his politics -- have praise for his skills.
For summary comparison purposes: Barack Obama plays one of the only games it's possible to win at; plays it in a way that avoids negative expected value; and by all accounts, plays it pretty well.
John McCain is intensely dedicated to a game that is expensive to play, consumes inordinate amounts of time, and is mathematically impossible to win over the long term. He takes this gamble, relying on superstition and hope, while the cold and brutal realities of inevitable collapse breathe chills down his unsuspecting back.
You may want to take this as a metaphor for his emphatic endorsement of Republican foreign policy towards Iraq. You may want to take this as an allegory for his decision-making processes generally. Or you may want to blow it off, figuring McCain is just a super-rich guy who doesn't mind dusting off a fat wad of cash playing a game it's impossible to win.
Which might even be true. But I wouldn't want to bet on it.

Zeta's motherly advice for RobertsCatherine Zeta-Jones has revealed she gave pregnancy advice and parenting tips to Julia Roberts during the filming of 'Ocean's Twelve'.
The stunning actress - who has two children, Dylan, four, and Carys, one, with husband Michael Douglas - says she wanted to give Julia, who gave birth to twins earlier this week, the benefit of her experience.
She said: "I was saying: 'You won't believe how big you get - it won't be long now until someone has to roll you out of bed because you won't be able to do it on your own.'"
The Oscar-winning beauty also claims she turned into her own mother when she handed out the advice.
She added in an interview with Britain's Now magazine: "I found myself saying the classic thing that everyone says to a first-time mum, which is: 'Just you wait!' I could hear my own mother saying it to me while I was saying it, but it's true isn't it? I also told Julia: 'You can't imagine what it'll be like, but it'll be the best thing in your life and it gets better every day,' because that's true. It really does." &EngCP

Q&A: Dollar Homes
Two Q&As for the price of one this week!
Wonk reader Matt Gonter noticed a new blog called Baltimore Housing Overstock that's trying to revive the idea of "dollar homes." (The city raffled off 104 homes for $1 in 1975, as this Live Baltimore bio of Otterbein notes. You can read about the larger, longer-running homesteading project here.)
I thought you all might be interested, so I chatted by email with Steve Goodman, the blog owner and a Better Waverly resident. He kicked off the site last week with this description of his proposal and a request that people go to Mayor Sheila Dixon's May 6 "neighborhood conversation" about vacant and abandoned properties.
Q. Why did you start the site? Do you plan to keep it up as a blog, or do you see it as more of a way to get your proposal out there?
I started the site as a way to spread the word that the mayor is interested in addressing the blight issue, and to rally public support for action. I think we're at a unique moment in time when there is a lot of flux in our country, and a coherent vision of the future can be quite powerful. I want to publicize that there are many people in Baltimore who love the city, but know that it needs to change and are hopeful for what lies ahead. I don't have any long term plans for it; I'm taking it day by day at this point.
Q. Why are you concerned about the city's abandoned homes?
Funny question! It's like asking "why are you concerned about the tumor?" I'm concerned about the city's abandoned homes because of the lead and asbestos that seep into the water supply from a house with no roof, the psychological effect of living in a city that looks like no one cares, the police blue lights that I see in Greenmount West but not Roland Park, the young girls who get raped in vacant houses in broad daylight, etc.
Blighted neighborhoods correlate highly with high crime rates, poor public education, poor transit solutions and poor public health. There has been a lot of ink used to cover crime, education, the Red Line and JHU studies. We need to address blight the same way we address the other issues. There are an estimated 17,000 abandoned rowhouses in Baltimore.
Q. Why do you think a "dollar home" plan -- or, rather, auctions of city-owned properties starting at $1 -- is a solution?
It's a great first step towards giving individuals the tools to make a difference in their neighborhood. The majority of city-owned properties are currently valueless on the open market; in fact they are worth less than $0 because they lower the value of the surrounding properties. If we can get these properties into the hands of individuals who want to invest in the neighborhood, we do a lot more good letting an individual put $10,000 into renovating the property rather than putting $10,000 into buying a valueless property. The city needs to think about the long-term tax consequences of entire blocks going up in value, and get these properties into the hands of residents.
Secondly, it's a program that has had success before here in Baltimore. ... Why not try again? The important thing to realize is that if this plan is a complete failure, and every single dollar house ends up in the hands of a slumlord who doesn't maintain it, we're in exactly the same place we are now. There is no way to lose with this plan: either we improve the city a lot, or nothing changes.
Q. Do you have a background in real estate? (I noticed the SquareFeet site -- is that yours?)
I do not have a background in real estate, other than being a homeowner. SquareFeet is my day job; it's a venture based on helping renters find neighborhoods that they would like to live in, and helping them compare apartments more easily. We're based in Baltimore, and will be launching our service this summer.

PVL Soccer Roundup
Wild weather plays havoc with PVL soccer matches
By: Mike Ray, Gold Country News Services
Placer Hosts Lincoln With Shot at PVL Crown Thursday
Monday's blast of unsettled weather that hit the foothills area also had a big impact on the Pioneer Valley League soccer matches that were played that afternoon. At Lake of the Pines, the PVL match between Placer and Bear River was halted at halftime with the Hillmen leading 2-1 after the two teams were pelted with rain, wind and hail. "We had it all," said Placer coach Dave Brown. "There was also lightning in the area and as we were packing up our gear you could see a funnel cloud in the distance. It was pretty wild." The weather – which included tornado warnings for the area – forced the cancellation of the Placer-Bear River JV match. Placer's varsity, receiving goals from Nikolai Figueroa and Gama Gomez, picked up the victory over the Bruins to improve its PVL record to 7-1-1 going into a key match Thursday against PVL leading Lincoln (7-0-2). Lincoln, meanwhile, missed out on a chance to sew up at least a piece of the PVL title on Monday when Foothill held the Zebras to a 0-0 tie. Placer, with 22 points, needs to defeat Lincoln (23 points) to win the outright title. A tie or win by Lincoln gives the Zebras the crown. "It's senior night for us," said Brown about the match that will be played at LeFebvre Stadium under the lights and begin at 7:30 p.m. "We're doing a presentation to honor our seniors before the match gets going." Colfax 4 Center 2 – At Colfax, the Falcons also battled blustery and cold playing conditions but were able to get in their complete match. Using a three-goal second half, the Falcons were able to pull away from a 1-1 halftime score and get the win. Now 5-2-2 in PVL matches, the Falcons received a pair of goals from Ben Rooker and one each by Jake Logan and Jacob Ritchey to hold off the visiting Cougars. "We had rain and win but that was about it," said Colfax coach Jim Logan. "The JVs got going but they called the match because of lightning about 10 minutes in." Colfax's JVs, receiving a pair of goals by Scott Irons, were credited with the victory. The Falcons, who lead the PVL JV race, are now 7-1-1 in league matches. Colfax closes its regular season Wednesday by hosting Bear River. Playoffs Begin Nov. 1 - While final brackets have to be formalized, it appears that both Colfax and Placer will vie in the eight-team CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Div. IV playoffs. "We're still in the process of finalizing some league finishes but both Placer and Colfax look headed for Div. IV in soccer," said Will DeBoard of the section office. The Div. IV playoffs will begin at home sites on Nov. 1 with semi-finals being played Nov. 7 and the finals Nov. 10.

Although Madera's teachers are voting on the tentative agreement between their union and Madera Unified, it could be days before the issue is a done deal. If the teachers ratify the pact, it will be the school board's turn to vote on the agreement that was hammered out by the negotiators from both sides last week.
At press time Wednesday, the teachers were still voting on the agreement.
David Holder, president of the Madera teachers' union, told The Tribune near our printing deadline Wednesday night that the union membership ratified the tentative agreement with the school district by approximately a two-thirds majority. He said the teacher turnout for the vote was the largest in recent memory.
According to their union president, not only the school board but the Madera County Office of Education must okay the agreement, if the teachers okay it...

Download the final HID for deltamethrin Updated 3/7/13 - Typographical error on page 28 corrected on 3/7/13
Letter Requesting Transmission of Regulatory Studies to DART IC Members
On March 18, 2013, the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee is scheduled to deliberate on the reproductive toxicity of deltamethrin and determine whether the chemical has been clearly shown through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles to cause reproductive toxicity. This March 2013 hazard identification document of deltamethrin revises and replaces the original October 2012 version. This revised version contains a rewritten Preface, expanded descriptions of a deltamethrin study (Wrenn, 1980) that appear in sections C.2, C.3, C.4, D.2, D.3, E.2.2.1 and the appendix, and accompanying changes to tables that summarize the study. Several technical clarifications were also made in the appendix.

Welcome to the Amtrak Customer Advisory Committee (ACAC), a volunteer organization that represents the needs and concerns of the traveling public to Amtrak management.
The committee was established in 1997 to establish and maintain consistent and responsive communications between Amtrak and its customers, improve the quality of service from the customer's point of view, provide an avenue for direct input to management about customers' perception of service, and facilitate inclusion of customer observations into service monitoring and modification.
Whether the issue is safety, service or travel for passengers with disabilities, the ACAC is structured to give immediate, informed feedback from the customer's perspective to management.
The ACAC comprises a group of 25 volunteers that represent the diversity of Amtrak customers from every corner of the United States. The committee acts as a customer service and product focus group meeting throughout the year with Amtrak senior management to ensure that the voice of the customer is heard.
Amtrak Customer Advisory Committee members are among the most active of the railroad's passengers. Members are frequent Amtrak riders who commute daily between major cities on Amtrak and/or travel across country several times a year. Members observe all aspects of their journey and provide Amtrak with feedback on their trip. In addition, they serve on regional service committees that focus on specific issues or markets.
Because the work of the Advisory Committee is just that, advisory, the work of the group is accomplished in close collaboration with Amtrak management.
Notable accomplishments resulting from the partnership between ACAC members and Amtrak include: The Quiet Car; The Customer Service Employee Recognition Award; audio, video and live presentations to enhance employee customer service and sensitivity training; daily internal Customer Service Tips of the Day; Accessible station recommendations; Food and Beverage Options; Late Train and Bus Substitution Protocol; and recycling initiatives.
ACAC members also participate in community outreach activities in their communities.
Passengers with comments about Amtrak service, policies or other matters should e-mail Amtrak directly or call 1-800-USA-RAIL and ask to speak with a Customer Relations representative.
For more information about ACAC, send a note to email@example.com.

The housing recovery appears to be in full swing across the country, according to the most recent RE/MAX Housing Report. For the 18th month in a row, both home sales and prices are higher than the same month in the previous year. July home sales were 17.0 percent higher than last July and the Median Price, $189,950 was 11.5 percent higher.
The RE/MAX Housing Report, a survey of MLS data in 52 metropolitan areas, also reports that the inventory situation slightly improved in July. The lower availability of homes for sale has caused prices to rise significantly in 2013, but as inventory issues ease, the rate of rising prices should slow down. At the rate of home sales in July, the number of months required to clear the entire inventory was 4.0, this indicates a market more favorable to sellers.
"Low inventory has been a serious concern this year, but with rising prices and fewer underwater homeowners, we're starting to see more homes come on the market, resulting in inventory levels that are turning around," says Margaret Kelly, CEO of RE/MAX, LLC. "Mortgage rates remain at historic lows, and home affordability is very attractive compared to historic levels."
For the month of July, the Median Price of all homes sold was $189,950, 2.1 percent lower than the Median Price in June, but 11.5 percent higher than the Median Price in July 2012. July is the 18th consecutive month with a Median Price higher than in the same month of the previous year. As buyer demand continues to run high, while the supply of homes for sale is low, home prices remain significantly higher than last year. Of the 52 metro areas surveyed in July, 49 experienced higher sales prices than one year ago. In fact, 26 metro areas reported double-digit increases.

Movie Review: The Hunger Games – A Compelling Character is Lost to a Film Translation
The Hunger Games' first novel was a visceral tale of Truman Story meets Lord of the Flies, which captured the confusion and primal instinct of a young girl, named Katniss Everdeen, who was forced to kill. While the book focused on an actual pseudo-reality TV series called The Hunger Games, author Suzanne Collins also showed off Katniss' literal hunger. A loaf of bread meant the difference between life and death; it also catalyzed Katniss' desire to hunt and save her family from starvation after her father died.
The film version of The Hunger Games cleans up the clutter of teenage uncertainty, while sanitizing the gruesome side of children killing children. Instead of a smart and emotionally conflicted Katniss, viewers get a quiet and semi-brooding teenage girl. It's a problem that stemmed from translating a first-person narrative novel into a film. All of Katniss' internal dialogue has been thrown away, leaving the viewer with a few inconsequential expressions from Jennifer Lawrence. This is a film that was supposed to be about high stakes, but without her internal dialogue there's no payoff or interest in the character. There are a few humorous moments from commentator Caesar Flickerman (played by Stanley Tucci), which explain plot points, but they don't give you any insight into Katniss.
The film begins with several dizzying, Kung-Fu swish pans. During Katniss' initial hunt, the camera snaps back and forth between Katniss, a deer and her friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth). The jarring motion serves no purpose save to give the viewer a swift bout of motion sickness. Surprisingly, this style isn't used throughout the movie, but only in the exposition. It's as if the creative team realized that this was not the best direction to go in, but didn't have the funding to change it after it was already shot.
The film does a good job of setting up the story and offering information on what led to the present state of affairs. After a long war, which a governing body called the Capitol won, a boy and a girl from each of the twelve rebelling districts is entered into a tournament where there can only be one survivor. When Katniss' younger sister is chosen by lotto to represent her district, Katniss volunteers to take her sister's place.
The initial trip to the Capitol captures the splendor that Katniss imagined in the book. Everyone in the Capitol looks like an over-done runway model, exploding with colors and outlandish fashions. The costumes and art design for the Capitol are great, save for Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Katniss' trainer. He seems like the cleaner, younger brother of the character we met in the book. The movie steadily goes wrong from here. Viewers never get a clear understanding of what Katniss is thinking or her relationship with Peeta. A few flashbacks do little to elucidate an important point that should have played throughout the entire film. However, all the gory details have been washed away.
The fighting begins, but the savagery of the situation never enters the story. What you do get are a few comical moments from Tucci. As for the games, all the scrapes and bruises look minor and picturesque. It looks like a series of camping accidents rather than killings. Remember The Dark Knight? It was a gritty film that kept its PG-13 rating so there's no reason why the creative team for The Hunger Games couldn't have found a way to capture the tumultuous event. The question of the reality of the romance between Peeta and Katniss never comes into play. There is also one major plot note regarding Peeta that is dropped completely from the ending.
If you read the novel, you will be able to fill in the gaps left out from the script. Otherwise, The Hunger Games is a trite film ,which will leave you with little emotional connection to the lead character, a compelling young girl from District 12.

"There's a big part of me that's opposed to the idea because I think it will offer people another way to abuse with methods such as snorting," said Seneca Wine and Liquor manager Jason Roberts.
New York State Senator Charles Schumer thinks it's a bad idea as well saying in a statement, "With powdered alcohol on its way to store shelves by this fall, we're sitting on a powder keg. Clearly our food and drug safety experts must step in before this mind-boggling product, surely to become the Kool-Aid of teen binge drinking, sees the light of day."
Some consumers don't see it as such a negative.
"I think it will be, I think it'll be pretty good. You know something to try out," said Yancy Porkins.
"On food and all that stuff it and everything it sounds a little weird, but sometimes weird is good," said Joe Dye.
They do see some concerns with it though, like the potential for abuse.
"If you release something like that people are going to do that. That's the negative effects of it," said Dye.
"Kids, they might not know what it is. They might think its candy," said Porkins.
The makers of Palcohol discredit some of the negatives, like snorting, saying that it doesn't make sense to have to painfully snort the powder for sixty minutes to get the same effect as one dissolved liquid shot of it.
Palcohol would only be sold to people twenty one and older, just like regular alcohol is now.
