Cache Valley Car Show 2013Written by on August 7, 2013 Cool Cache
Cache County's peaceful town of Logan, Utah, nestled an hour and a half northeast of Salt Lake City, has a well-earned reputation as one of the chilliest areas west of the Rockies during the winter. But come early July, the streets and highways into Logan quickly heat up with some very serious Street Rod action as the Cache Valley Cruising Association's (www.cachevalleycruisein.net) car show arrives on scene at the fairgrounds. Road tripping into the area to attend the event is a big part of the fun. The Cache Valley and the surrounding area during the early summer is a beautiful place to enjoy scenic driving with vast green landscape, magnificent mountains, and flowing waterways.
The great group of guys and gals that make up the Cache Valley Cruising Association (CVCA) invited us up this year to check out the event and see first-hand all that the 3-day car show and Saturday night cruise on Main Street have to offer. As we traveled to Logan, we knew we were getting closer to the event by the increasing numbers of street rods, muscle cars, and late-model performance cars cruising the highways of Utah. Although we stayed at the nearby Crystal Inn in Logan, inside the fairgrounds car show entrants set up for camping could stay in a shady campground with lots of spaces and green lawns. The temperature this weekend ranged around 85 to 90 enjoyable degrees. There was even a small stream running between the camping area and the car show to give the kids a place to have fun with inner tubes. The CVCA's president, John Rutledge, graciously let us stop by his campsite during the show each day to relax a little and set our cameras down.
To take in the daily action, Cache Valley's Lynn Zollinger teamed us up with club member Dave Viterna to act as our helpful tour guide. With Dave along, we were able to meet even more of the friendly folks than we normally would have. Dave's regular day job is a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier, so he was well up to the task of covering lots of ground, while he helped carry some of our camera equipment. Plus he knows a thing or two about Street Rods, being the owner of a really cool '57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop, a '28 Ford Model "A" 2dr sedan, and a '05 Ford Mustang Saleen. All powered with some stout V8's!
As the show opened early Thursday morning, there was no doubt that the event would be well-attended with a variety of cars. Immediately we started seeing lots of awesome Street Rods, custom cars, muscle cars, and pretty much everything else pulling through the gate.
As we walked the show we quickly learned why this show draws such a great crowd of cars and attendees every year since its inception in 1982. The people who bring their spectacular rides out are a great group of folks with very interesting stories about their cars. Of the approximately 900 cars, there was a vast variety of anything you could imagine from the early 1900's up through the most recent trends in late-model performance. For those interested, the Cache Valley Cruising Association hosts a poker-run event at the beginning of the 3 day show. Any show entrant can register to participate in this fun event. And if you're looking for new street rod products you can check out the manufacturer's midway or for those hard to find old original parts, there is swap meet.
Also present at the show was a giveaway car. Each year the Cache Valley Cruising Association, with the help of local businesses acquires a specialty car, builds and restores it during the year, and offers it as a raffle/giveaway car during the Awards Ceremony on Saturday afternoon. This year the raffle car was an amazingly restored 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee Coupe in B5 Blue, with a white interior and white vinyl top. In 1969, Dodge produced just 3,427 TWO-Door Coupe Super Bees (equipped like this raffle car) with a 383 Magnum, 335 horsepower B-Engine, and an A-833 New Process four-speed transmission. Super Bees also came standard with the "Power Bulge" twin-hood scoops and heavy-duty 11-inch police brakes. All 383 Magnums came stock with 440 heads and valve-train and this CVCA giveaway car had an even hotter cam than stock. When it was running, you could tell it definitely had that cool Mopar rumble sound; like the kind the fastest chase car has in a great movie! Needless to say, this author bought more than a few raffle tickets hoping to win at this year's CVCA event.
After the car show on Friday night, rock superstar Pat Benatar was in concert with Neil Giraldo in the fairground's arena. Benatar and Giraldo commanded a tremendous stage presence and sang to a crowd of several thousand people in the outdoor arena. Their many songs included "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Shadows of the Night" and "Love is a Battlefield".
Each day's Show-and-Shine, was awesome and drew a big crowd, with Saturday seeming to be the most attended. There is even a Saturday morning breakfast served by the local firefighters. Saturday also featured the Awards Ceremony, drawing for the giveaway car, and the spectacular cruise down Main Street. Whatever your Street Rod taste, there was plenty to see and the Main Street cruise in Logan capped off all the fun in a perfect setting. Logan's Main Street is the kind of place they could film a modern-day episode of "Return to Mayberry".
The Cache Valley Cruising Association would like to invite you to next year's car show. Make it a vacation. Yellowstone National Park is less than a day's drive from the show; just over 250 miles. Or the very scenic drive to Jackson, Wyoming is just 185 miles north on highway 89. The CVCA 2014 show takes place on July 3, 4, and 5, 2014.
For more information about the show or how to register for next summer's show please see the CVCA's website at http://www.cachevalleycruisein.net . We hope to be there next summer and look forward to seeing you too!

The annual show takes place at the Logan/Cache Fairgrounds, which is a big facility with plenty of tree-shaded open lawns, access roadways, and more located on the southwest corner of town. The action here has been occurring each year since 1982. This year the event displayed almost 900 cars and drew about 30,000 spectators through the gates. Many of the cars in the show came from thousands of miles.One of the highest quality cars at the CVCA show was Mike Ferriera's outstanding '37 Ford Five-Window coupe. His Autorama winning Ford features a digital dash, leather interior, tilt column, and fuel-injected small-block Chevy. Mike brought his Custom Ford out from Vernal, Utah.Cache Valley Cruising Association's Dave Viterna, who was our Cache Valley tour guide, took a few minutes to explain to this young fellow how the fresh air system for the heater/defroster was factory routed in to a '57 Chevrolet interior area. In '57, these new high-volume ventilation screens (where incoming air was picked up from) were referred to by Chevrolet as "Hooded Air Intakes". These screens were positioned above the headlights to supply high, clean air, in large amounts to make your driving experience refreshing!Besides Dave Viterna's really cool '57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop, he also owns this black '28 Ford Model "A" 2dr sedan, and a '05 Ford Mustang Saleen. The Model "A" is running a Chevy 350, with a TH400 trans, full boxed frame, Corvair front suspension with rack and pinion, and an 8-inch Ford rear end. His charcoal silver '05 Saleen has the supercharged 4.6-V8, and close ratio, 5 speed trans and 3.90 rear gears.We met Larry and his wife Bonnie Groesbeck at the Crystal Inn with their black '33 all-steel Ford. Larry told us that they had driven down from Nampa, Idaho for the car show and that he's in the recreational vehicle business there. The trip from Nampa (outside of Boise) is over 600 miles round trip. The red '35 Chevy belongs to his buddy, Dennis Edwards and it's all steel too! Most of the cars at the event were driven in, many from several states away.Ross Kidman's '28 Model "A" in modern terms may be referred to as a Rat Rod. But make no mistake about it-that ain't no Rat motor between the frame rails. It's a big 440 Chrysler mill with two-Holley four barrels mounted to an Offenhauser tunnel ram. Inside we found an old bicycle pedal used to activate the brakes. And the shift lever that operates the 727 Torqflite is an old wrench that measures about 2 feet long! When Ross isn't driving his '28, he works for a very large International Automotive company that develops and manufactures airbags, safety electronics, and anti-whiplash systems to make new cars safer. Not too sure he has a photo of his '28 Ford hanging on his office wall.Todd and Kelly Olsen didn't have to travel too far from their hometown of Logan to attend the show, but their flawless black '66 Chevy II is far from stock. Besides the '60's Gasser look, the little Chevy sports a 496 Big-Block (nestled between the factory shock towers) with aluminum heads, fender-well exit headers, and an aluminum radiator. The front suspension is from CPP and the rear end is a Chevy 12-bolt with 4.10 gears.We met Jesse Franco for the first time at the show and it just so happens that he is the City of El Segundo's (near Los Angeles, CA) Fire Marshal. In other words, he's the Fire Marshall for one of our Source Interlink offices in southern California. Jesse told us that he drove his '63 Cadillac from southern California to Arizona and then up to Logan, Utah to attend the Cache Valley Cruising Association's car show. He has owned his red-hot '63 for almost 40 years. It still sports the stock 390ci, 325-horse Caddy motor. These '63's had a very smooth ride; due largely to a 129.5-inch wheelbase. And, end-to-end they measured 223-inches!Winston Weiss' '29 Ford Model "A" from Roy, Utah caught our eye because of the attention to detail, and clean look. After speaking with Winston, we learned about how he built and shaped the car himself to capture the look of Street Rodder's early days. Plus he did all of this without a lot of dough. For the Awards Ceremony, we chose his car as the Street Rodder magazine winner. The '58 Chevy wagon behind the '29 Ford is also Winston's and it's a real sleeper.
This is the under-the-hood shot of Winston's '58 Chevy wagon. This is not just any '95 LT-1 engine setting inside a '58 Chevy engine compartment. Notice the green silicon upper radiator hose? A few years back, Winston located a used '95, Caprice 9C1 police car and discarded the entire rusted out body and quickly bolted his '58 Chevy wagon to the 9C1 chassis with its police drivetrain. Winston tells us that the '58 Chevy's performance from about 75 mph to well over 120 mph sure takes a lot of would-be competitors off guard.The winner of the '69 Dodge Super Bee giveaway car was 20-year old Kyslee Viterna, of Logan, Utah. A representative of Barrett-Jackson Auctions pulled the winning ticket from a spinning barrel before a crowd at the Awards Ceremony. Kyslee's brother Chad brought the winning ticket to the stage, while Kyslee caught his breath. Afterwards, the two brothers drove the Super Bee down Main Street for the Saturday night cruise as a team effort. Word is that older Chad is offering Kyslee clutch and shifting tips until he gets the hang of operating the big Hurst four-speed shifter.Under the hood lurks a 392 Chrysler Hemi engine with factory dual-quads and 375 horsepower. Plus this big Chrysler is equipped with factory air conditioning. Either way it's a really cool ride!Scott Christiansen of Salt Lake City, Utah finished restoring this '64 Ford Country Sedan Wagon in 2003; almost 40 years after his mom and dad (Marie and Jack) bought it new at Wilson Ford in Logan, Utah. The wagon still sports its original three-on-the-tree shifter and 289 V8. When the wagon was new, Scott was just five months old. Scott's mom Marie was at the CVCA show this year and we had the chance to speak with her. From '64 through the '70's the wagon was the family's daily car and used often to go on vacations throughout the western states. By the '80's it was Scott's college car. That Camp-Away Teardrop trailer to the left was pulled behind the Ford wagon back in the day. Today it's been meticulously restored by Scott's son, Tate. This is truly an all-in-the-family effort!Josh Turner spends his days as a Mopar parts man at Larry H. Miller Chrysler/Jeep in Sandy, Utah. But by night he works on his primered 1956 Chevy Gasser.Under the hood of his bowtie lurks a 516ci big-block Chevy with a hydraulic roller cam. A TH400 trans with an 8-inch converter , and a modified 8.8-inch Ford rear end (sourced from an Explorer) with 31-spline axles and a 3.73 cog harness the horses to the ground. The outside might not look too shiny, but when this gasser pulled in the fairgrounds with its big-block Chevy pounding the sound waves, everyone took notice.Tom and Karey Perkins brought up their gorgeous '56 Chevy Nomand from Boulder City, Nevada to be in the show and cruise down Main Street. It's powered by a 430-horsepower 350 Chevy. Round trip from home to Logan, Utah is 1,000 miles and change.

1968 Chevrolet Nova - Introducing Project NovaWritten by Johnny Hunkins on June 1, 2010 We Picked Up A '68 Nova And Made It Swallow Our 523hp Dart SHP 400 Small-Block. Now The Fun Begins!
For years, we've been espousing that any project car should have a plan up front. Do a rendering, research all the parts, make a list for everything, and know exactly what you plan to do with it when you're done. That's the sane way to do things, but is it necessarily the most fun? Sometimes improvisation trumps all. Take for instance those times as a teenager when your folks were out, it was a Friday night, your friends were coming over, and you had money to burn? Or a last-minute weekend trip to the beach or the racetrack? Some of the best times in life aren't scripted, and that's exactly the case with Project Nova. Heck, we don't even have a name for it, but it's shaping up to be wicked fun.
Just like a spontaneous weekend getaway, you might not have a specific plan in mind, but you've already combined-mostly by happenstance-the proper ingredients for fun. In our case, we bought a lightweight '68 Nova, which just so happened to share garage space with our 523hp Dart SHP 400 small-block crate motor that we built back in the January issue (see "Power In A Package"). The Dart SHP 400 makes stupid power on pump gas with a hydraulic roller cam. And so easy, a trained monkey could build one. Hmm, light car, powerful small-block. What to do? Like star-crossed lovers, the Nova and the Dart crate naturally gravitated to each other.
Over the course of a weekend, and with the help of friends-namely Andy Mitchell of Outlaw Racing Engines-we tackled the job. Beforehand, we did our best to order the basic parts we thought we'd need for the swap. We burned up the Summit Racing order hotline for a fuel pump, fuel lines, fittings, oil dipstick, air filter assembly, water pump, pulleys, fasteners, and flexplate. We found that some of the stuff worked like a charm. Some of the parts didn't work out, but it was entirely due to circumstance-and us making wild guesses. At any rate, it was a fun learning experience, and we're here to tell you all about both the good stuff, and the inconvenient stuff.
The most rewarding part was hearing it fire up on cue that very first time. After a few cursory checks and an easy drive around the block, we put the little Nova through a few one-legged test burnouts in the parking lot. The incongruity of a refrigerator-white little-old-lady Nova with 14-inch tires on poverty rims, highway gears, and an open rearend fed by a maniacal small-block is too much to bear. On the street when we roll into the throttle, the Flowmaster exhaust bellows off the buildings, the left front lifts a bit, the right rear tire breaks loose, and you just steer it at the rev limit to keep it straight. The whole thing is so much fun to drive, we laughed ourselves silly.
We're not totally crazy though. With 42-year-old drum brakes, bald tires, monoleaf rear springs, no sway bar, and a stock drivetrain, this thing is living on borrowed time in too many areas to count. We'd love to get it to the track for some numbers, but we need to make it safe first.

We started out with a Dart SHP 400 short-block crate motor ($4,184.66). Available in configurations ranging from 372 ci to 400 ci-and with options like forged pistons, forged crank, and H-beam rods-a small-block Chevy SHP short-block ranges from $2,975 up to $4,695. We checked the order blanks for upgraded forged Mahle pistons, Scat H-beam rods, and a forged crank. The Dart SHP block is a veritable fortress of strength, with siamesed cylinder walls, a minimum of .230-inch wall thickness, played four-bolt mains, priority main oiling, and a safe bore size up to 4.165 inches.The top end of our 400ci Dart SHP crate motor is dressed out with Dart's top end kit consisting of Pro-1 Platinum heads, a Dart dual-plane intake, gaskets, spark plugs, valve covers, head bolts, and upgraded 7/16-inch rocker studs.The top end of our 400ci Dart SHP crate motor is dressed out with Dart's top end kit consisting of Pro-1 Platinum heads, a Dart dual-plane intake, gaskets, spark plugs, valve covers, head bolts, and upgraded 7/16-inch rocker studs.Equipped with A COMP Cams Big Mutha Thumpr hydraulic roller cam (299/319 degrees gross duration, 243/247 degrees at .050, and .533/.519-inch lift on a 107-degree LSA), COMP's new short-travel hydraulic lifters, and a Holley 850-cfm Street HP carb, our SHP 400 cranked out 523 hp at 6,200 rpm and 523 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm on pump gas with a 10.66:1 compression ratio. The cost total cracked $9,400 with the premium parts we chose, but it'll be bulletproof for many years to come, and can handle a nice shot of nitrous should we desire.We began our engine swap by pulling out the tired 350 that came in our '68 Nova. We have no idea what's in it, but we plan on finding out, and resurrecting it for a future issue. Having a V-8 from the get-go, the Nova came with many items we plan on reusing for the time being-or at least until it breaks. Stuff like headers, transmission, and cooling system.We've got our eye on a nice set of ceramic-coated Hooker headers, but for now, the no-name headers from our Nova will be reused. We mediablasted them to clean off all the rust and old paint.A coat of Dupli-Color 1,200-degree ceramic paint was applied to the cleaned-up headers. The pipes look to be a 1 3/4-inch design, which will tap a little into our power. We used 1 3/4-inch headers on the dyno, and that's the size that will eventually go on the car. For now, these refurbished pipes are already known to fit.With the old engine out, it was the perfect opportunity to clean up the engine bay and spray bomb it with a few cans of Dupli-Color semigloss black acrylic enamel. We soaked the bay in degreaser, then used a heated pressure washer on the frame, suspension, firewall, and fenderwells. We did a final prep clean with acetone before hitting it with the rattle can. The improvement was amazing.Our first misstep was ordering a short water pump/pulley kit, when the old engine was set up for a long water pump. We ordered a Summit mechanical water pump Pro Pack (PN CMB-12-0026), which contains a Weiand short water pump, water neck, Trans Dapt billet aluminum pulleys, Mr. Gasket thermostat, and fasteners. At just $215.95, it's a killer deal, but we quickly discovered that the short water pump we wanted to use wouldn't allow our traditional alternator mounting position. Turns out, we would've been OK if we had just ordered the long water pump version of the kit.
On the bright side, we learned that a Weiand short water pump does indeed clear COMP's two-piece billet timing cover with room to spare. We ended up cleaning the factory cast-iron water pump from the old engine, and painting it with aluminum paint. We also mediablasted the old pulleys, and painted them with Dupli-Color satin black.Our Dart SHP 400 short-block came internally balanced, so we ordered a zero-balance SFI flexplate from TCI, and attached it with strong ARP flexplate bolts.Totally Stainless makes some of the strongest, best-looking fasteners around, and we like the durable, long-lasting performance of stainless steel. For all our cosmetic fasteners, we used Totally Stainless' "engine" kit, which includes fasteners for the distributor, fuel pump, intake, oil pan, thermostat housing, timing cover, valve covers, and water pump. We like how fasteners for each part of the motor are separated in different bags and clearly labeled. We got the six-point kit for stamped, perimeter-bolt valve covers (PN 6-5655, $155).We tried one of Summit's Edelbrock-sourced 110-gph fuel pumps (shown, PN SUM-EDL21) for $49.95, which is a screaming deal, because it's built by Edelbrock, it doesn't need a regulator, and it's good for 600 hp. The only problem is that the inlet and outlet are clocked 180 degrees, and in our '68 Nova there was no way humanly possible for both the inlet and outlet to clear the crossmember, motor mount, and engine block. We ended up using the nearly identical 110-gph Edelbrock 1721 pump with clockable inlet and outlet-for $42 more.Time to drop the Dart SHP 400 into the Nova, but oops, it doesn't fit. Criminy sakes, it's just a small-block Chevy in a Nova, what could be easier? We discovered that our Nova was originally a six-cylinder car that had a transplanted V-8. We don't know if the crossmembers are different, but we can say for sure that a six-cylinder crossmember does not like our big Moroso oil pan.Our Moroso 7-quart Stage 1 drag race oil pan is the ultimate in engine protection for a hot street car, with an integral crank scraper and internal baffling for windage control and best power. When we built our Dart 400 SHP small-block, we knew it was destined for the street, but we hadn't bought our project car yet, so we had no idea whether it would fit our chassis. It turns out, the Stage 1 pan will not fit the '68 Nova unless you notch the crossmember, or use some kind of lifted motor mounts. We love the oil pan more than the crossmember, so the crossmember needed surgery.We cut out a V-shaped notch in the crossmember using a cutoff wheel. The crossmember is boxed, so once we welded a new top piece in, it was better than new.Here's where it helps to have friends with friends. For a few beers, we lured Hunter Branson of Branson Mold Polishing to fabricate and weld in a new top piece for our crossmember. He's got this really boss Airtronics TIG welder from the 1950s that was originally built to make aircraft parts for Boeing. It's a very cool living artifact. "I've never repaired it in all the years I've owned it," Hunter says. They only made 22 of these welders.
We tagged the modified crossmember with more Dupli-Color semigloss black before taking another stab at dropping the Dart bullet into the '68 Nova.When we purchased the Nova, we got lucky that a previous owner had installed a three-speed Turbo 400. The original car had an inline-six, so it had to originally be a two-speed Powerglide. Some inline-fours and inline-sixes ('69-71 models) even came with a crappier two-speed automatic called a Torque Drive. Note how this Turbo 400 also has the beefy (and rare) double-hump crossmember from the '68-70 big-block cars. Score! We plan on beating this old Turbo 400 and stock converter until it gives up. The trans also appears to have some sort of shift kit. The stock stall converter is the bomb on the street too. We hope it lasts.We decided to try our luck with the original fan, water pump, pulleys, alternator, power steering pump, hoses, and radiator. We even reused the original coolant-for now. Much to our amazement, it fired up on the first try, and we were doing burnouts five minutes later. In the weeks since, we've encountered no problems with overheating, charging, or the transmission. We're actually rethinking our whole theory on gearing. This car/motor combo loves the two-series highway cog. The cruise rpm is low, and there's more than enough torque (493 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm) to incinerate the tire.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Evan Longoria homered and drove in three runs during a three-hit night, and Kelly Johnson went 3-for-4 with a two-run blast to power the Tampa Bay Rays over the Toronto Blue Jays, 10-4, in the third installment of a four-game series at Tropicana Field.
Matt Moore (6-0) didn't have his best stuff, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks over five innings, but it was enough to stay undefeated as the Rays backed him with 13 hits.
Luke Scott and James Loney each added a pair of RBI, while Ben Zobrist reached base four times, scored three runs and knocked in another for the victors.
Toronto had its three-game win streak snapped, but the club received good news earlier Wednesday when it was announced J.A. Happ was "doing well" after being released from the hospital. Happ was carried off the field on a stretcher Tuesday when he was struck by a line drive and sustained a head contusion.
The Blue Jays actually jumped out to an early lead on Edwin Encarnacion's two- run homer to straightaway center in the first, but the embattled Ricky Romero (0-2) recorded just one out in the bottom half before getting the quick hook.
Romero, an All-Star in 2011, started the year in the minor leagues following a disappointing campaign last season, and in his second start the left-hander continued his downward spiral. Two walks and a single loaded the bases, and Longoria, Loney and Scott all plated runs with base hits.
Edgar Gonzalez relieved Romero after Scott's single and retired the next two hitters to keep it a 3-2 game, but Johnson doubled off the middle reliever in the second and scored on Zobrist's single for a two-run lead.
Coming in, the Rays had lost 13 games in which they held a lead, including the first two of the series, but they tacked on enough runs in this one to win going away.
Gonzalez, recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take Happ's place on the roster, was still in the game when Longoria took him deep down the left-field line in the fourth for a two-run homer and a 6-2 cushion.
After Moore struck out Mark DeRosa to leave the bases loaded in the fifth, Johnson ended Gonzalez's extended relief stint with a two-run moonshot into the right-field seats in the sixth. The Rays pushed two more across in the frame via Loney's run-scoring double and Scott's sacrifice fly.
Encarnacion's sac fly and DeRosa's RBI single in the seventh accounted for the final score.
Game Notes
Joe Maddon, who picked up win No. 600 as Tampa Bay's manager, was ejected in the sixth inning by home plate umpire Scott Barry for arguing a foul ball call ... Romero has lost 15 of his last 16 decisions ... Gonzalez lasted 4 2/3 innings and was charged with five runs on six hits ... Toronto went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position ... The Jays can still win their first road series against Tampa Bay since April 2007 when R.A. Dickey faces David Price in Thursday's finale.

Breakfast is easily one of my favorite meals of the day, but only when it's done right. Like most people, I can live with a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit and then go about my day if I have to, but I'd always rather have something homemade. The only thing that frustrates me about breakfast is the monotony that we've settled for! Eggs, bacon, pancakes, cereal, rinse, repeat. Sure, there's a little more differentiation than that, but it sure feels like there isn't sometimes.
In order to break up that monotony, I try using ingredients that aren't normally found on a breakfast menu. I've already posted some delicious recipes using wonton wrappers, salad fixings and polenta, but I definitely need to bulk up that section of my recipe index! Here are some examples of different, delicious breakfast foods that I've been enjoying lately:
– Giardiniera and veggie-cheese omelets
– Vanilla chai pancakes (cooked in coconut oil. YUM.)
– Sweet potato hashbrowns
All these things are extremely yummy and satisfy that need for change. The recipe I'm sharing with you today is for my sweet potato hashbrowns. I've been making them for a couple years now, ever since we had run out of regular potatoes and I was craving some hashbrowns. We mash them, soufflé them, bake them, French fry them and turn them into hummus, so why not turn them into hashbrowns as well? I made them for my parents on Christmas Eve morning and they went bonkers. I think they forgot how well the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes lends itself to savory dishes.
I'm actually going to share two variations. One is low-sodium and includes onions and the other is just well spiced and doesn't have onions. At least one of them is sure to please anyone in your household who likes sweet potatoes!
Simple Sweet Potato Hashbrowns
Servings: 4
PointsPlus per Serving: 3
- 1 large sweet potato, 8 PP
- 2 tbsp light butter/margarine, 4 PP
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- paprika
- 1 large sweet potato, 8 PP
- 1/2 medium onion
- crushed red pepper or chili powder
- 2 tbsp light butter/margarine, 4 PP
1. Get a bowl of warm water. As you dice up your sweet potato, throw it into the bowl with water. Letting them soak in the water for a little bit as you are preparing everything will soften them up just enough. Chop up your onions and set them aside (not in the water).
2. Warm up a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan (my preference). Once it gets to a medium heat, put in the butter and let it melt. If you're doing the version with the onions, put the onions in and let them soften up just a little. Then put in the drained potatoes. Sprinkle your spices over top (I just do a sprinkling of each and use a little more of the flavors I really want in there), mix around the potatoes so they are well coated with butter and spice and then let them sit for about 4 minutes. Once they start to brown up on the bottom, scrape them all over to one end and give them a flip. Let them sit for another 4 minutes or so. Do this until they meet your level of satisfactory softness/crispness and then transfer them to a plate.
**PLEASE NOTE** – If you are doing the version with the onions, you'll have to stir them up more often so the onions don't burn!
What are some other things that you eat for breakfast that you'd consider "different"?


text: My dad has been waiting for a 26 tag but put 24 as his first choice this year and ought to draw with his PP. He's is fairly poor shape and doesn't care the least about trophy quality. The plan is to find one close to the road, let my brother and I can haul everything. From experience I know this is possible in 26. 24 is a lot rougher. Is this scenario plausible in 24?

Feeling beautiful is often influenced by how youthful the skin looks. Toward that end, it is essential to properly cleanse and moisturize the skin as well as protect it from the harshness of the sun and elements of the weather. While these three actions may be enough when the skin is healthy and exuberantly youthful in appearance, they may not be enough to maintain the skin's natural radiance as the body matures. Fortunately, products, like the full line of Suki Exfoliators, exist that can be used to re-energize the skin's gorgeous glow of beauty. Incorporating one of the existing Suki Exfoliators into your beauty kit gives you a weapon that combats against dullness and the buildup of impurities and dead skin cells.
Since Suki Exfoliators have been formulated with ingredients that are completely free of synthetics, they are especially gentle on the skin, aiding them in their quest to transform dull and lifeless skin to radiantly invigorated skin. Offering all-natural solutions for the rejuvenation of the skin, each of the multi-tasking Suki Exfoliators delivers fresh nourishment as they gently reveal fresher looking skin.
At least once a week, you might want to treat your skin to the benefits of an exfoliating experience that enhances its condition, strengthens it, and renews its natural radiance. Suki Exfoliators are free of synthetic ingredients and have been clinically proven to deliver dramatic improvements for the skin.
Has your skin developed rough spots that simply won't go away? Are you looking for a natural solution that can help restore the smooth texture of your skin without harming it? The gentle formulation of Suki Exfoliate Foaming Body Cleanser is designed to lift away the accumulation of dead skin cells and impurities that mar the radiance of the skin. As this foaming exfoliator lifts dullness away, it infuses your skin with essential nutrients and promotes circulation, creating healthier looking skin.
Has your skin tone suffered damage that created an uneven skin tone for you? Get it back under control with a corrective solution that refines your skin's tone and texture in order to reveal its innate beauty. Suki Renewal Bio-Resurfacing Facial Peel offers a powerhouse of skin-friendly capabilities that coaxes your skin back to a vision of loveliness. Blended with a bevy of natural ingredients, this peel exfoliates the cells that mar your skin's beauty, purposefully decongesting pores, minimizing inflammation, and reducing the visibility of existing blemishes. Along with the creation of a more even skin tone, this solution boosts the synthesis of collagen. As with most facial peels, you should avoid using this product near the eye zone and lips.

|Brittney Ferguson healing progresses at home
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
After spending close to six months in hospitals following her Sept. 25 vehicle accident, Brittney Ferguson is glad to be home.
While she doesn't talk yet, her family has skillfully learned to interpret her reactions to assess her feelings. And they remain steadily by her side to assist her progress in any way they can.
She is more relaxed and calmer, has been sleeping well and laughs much more, said Brittney's mother, Connie. "All of us are just so glad to be home," she added.
Life as they knew it changed suddenly for the Ferguson family six months ago on Sept. 25 when Brittney, a student at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, was seriously injured in an auto accident.
Her parents Rance and Connie, as well as 17-year-old sister Amanda, have been by her side every step of the way.
While hospitalized and later in rehab at Craig Hospital, Brittney has had the comfort of her parents and sister.
On March 1, Rance returned to his job at Highline Electric Association, and the rest of the Fergusons moved home March 11. Amanda returned to HHS in her junior year and Connie resigned her position with USDA in Imperial, Neb. to remain home with Brittney.
Family and community support have contributed greatly, Connie acknowledged. "We wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for all the support."
Initially told it would be baby steps of progress, Connie said this week it is certainly a marathon, not a sprint. "They weren't lying," she added.
Doctors anticipate Brittney will continue to heal and improve for at least the next two years before they will see a plateau. Even then, she will still continue to progress.
That's the first prognosis of sorts the family has received, and they continue to hope and pray. At this point, Connie said they pray every day that today will be the day Brittney says a word.
Shortly after their arrival home close to a month ago, on March 11, the Fergusons placed various pictures on a board—pictures of the couch, wheelchair, bed, toilet and more. If Brittney is fussy, they ask her to point to a picture.
So far, they've responded to the photo she's pointed to, and it's seemingly calmed her. As a result, they've learned a way to communicate.
Initially scheduled to return to Holyoke Feb. 20, plans changed when an aneurysm was discovered and surgery required.
Surgery did set Brittney back some, but her family has noticed recently she is getting more tongue function and control back. She continues to be fed through a tube.
She wears glasses, but they are not corrective lenses, Connie explained. A piece of tape has been placed over a portion of the right lens. Brittney had nerve damage to her right eye, and the tape forces her eye to track, in an attempt to help correct its movement.
While she is in a wheelchair, Brittney holds herself up and has fairly good balance. The right side of her body is still sluggish. Her family helps her with stretches, and they're getting her occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy sessions set up regularly in their home.
Going to the therapy pool in Sterling is part of home care, and Brittney has been there a couple of times. Connie said she thinks her daughter likes the weightlessness in the pool. She likes the water and has even taken steps in the water.
Once last week, she tried to pull her sister in the pool. She started walking up the steps to get out and was angry her family wouldn't let her just walk out. She wrapped her legs around the rail and had to be convinced to let go and get on the lift to get out of the pool.
Connie said Brittney doesn't put much weight on her right leg, but once it's stronger, maybe she will be able to walk out of the pool or just walk in general. "But that is a ways down the road," she added.
Brittney can stand and pivot, using mostly her left leg, so she can help them get her from her wheelchair to the vehicle and other places.
She returned to Craig Hospital last Thursday, to the spasticity clinic, where she received an injection in her right arm to help with movement. Her right arm is still tight, but she is trying to move it more. Connie said she will do another round of phenol blocks to loosen up her muscles.
In fact, Connie reported the doctor said at some point he wouldn't be surprised if Brittney's right side becomes stronger than the left.
The trip back to the hospital involved a long day, and Brittney was a little agitated Friday, as a result.
However, in playful mode, with the help of her mom, she was able to get hold of a syringe and shoot water at her sister. She even soaked her mom, as well.
She helped her sister pick out the color for her date's Prom tux, but lost interest when it came time to select flowers for the Prom event.
Brittney raises her hand to give a thumbs-up, a high-five or a wave, and her spontaneous smiles provide bright spots for family and friends.
Sept. 25 accident changes life
Brittney was a back-seat passenger in a club cab pickup in which the driver lost control on a curve in Laramie Thursday, Sept. 25, and she suffered the worst injuries of the four in the vehicle. The pickup rolled three times, and Brittney was partially pinned in it and partially thrown through the back window.
A fractured skull, multiple face fractures, blown eye socket, broken ribs, as well as a fractured right ankle and foot wounds, only begin to describe Brittney's trauma.
She was flown from the hospital in Laramie to its trauma center, Med Center of the Rockies in Loveland, where right away she underwent her first of many surgeries, this one for a blood clot.
That day, her prognosis was pretty much minute by minute, as doctors were simply focused on Brittney's head injury. She was literally hanging in the balance, fighting for her life.
After almost three weeks at Med Center of the Rockies, Brittney was transferred to Kindred Hospital in Denver on Oct. 14. Her first day of breathing on her own was Oct. 25.
Various infections and other set-backs were recorded as Brittney slowly gained higher levels of consciousness. She was moved to Craig Hospital in Englewood around Nov. 18 for extensive rehab.
While there, she celebrated her 20th birthday on Jan. 27.
Originally scheduled to come home Feb. 20, Brittney's return was delayed when surgery was required at Swedish Hospital for a pseudo aneurysm. Her return to Craig was then delayed a day when she suffered from a seizure.
The trip back to Holyoke four weeks ago, on March 11, began a new phase in Brittney's journey.
"We still don't know the outcome or what they anticipate she will be able to overcome or do or even be like, but miracles happen every day," said Connie. "This miracle is just a work in progress that will span over years."

There was the recitation of a very impressive résumé, of course. And, yes, there were some tears.
But most of all, there was laughter at Booth Gardner's public memorial service, as one speaker after another shared stories of the former governor's warmth, his humility and his mischievous sense of humor.
The event drew about 700 people Saturday to the University of Puget Sound, in Gov. Gardner's hometown, Tacoma. The two-term governor, who served from 1985 to 1993, was remembered as a champion of education overhaul and social services, a sort of anti-politician whose charm and charisma overcame his well-known aversion to fundraising and to digging in and playing political hardball.
Among the speakers was former Gov. Chris Gregoire, who recalled an incident two decades ago, when she was the state's lead attorney on a major lawsuit. Gov. Gardner called her aside as she and others worked late into the night, saying he needed her for something very important. "No one else can know about it," he told her.

When they hopped in the car, she learned he wanted to sneak out for burgers — something she knew doctors didn't think was healthy for him.
"That's why it's a secret mission," he told Gregoire. (When they returned, she noted, it was she who was scolded by the state troopers assigned to protect him, a situation that appeared to give her boss a certain glee.)
The former governor's appetite for burgers was so legendary, several speakers mentioned it.
One of Gov. Gardner's eight grandchildren recalled how Grandpa had memorized the phone number for Frisko Freeze, a Tacoma burger joint, but couldn't for the life of him recall his grandson's home number.
"I never let him live that one down," laughed Jack Nettleton, 22, who spoke at the event, along with two younger grandchildren who read a Bible passage together. A fourth grandchild, who is studying musical theater at the University of Michigan, sang two of his grandfather's favorite songs: "Edelweiss" and "Beautiful City" from Godspell.
Nettleton, an athlete just like his Grandpa, said the two became very close over endless hours in the car, driving to sports practices and games in his black Chrysler sedan, "littered with Coke cans and Beach Boys CDs."
He remembers one formative moment, when Grandpa stopped to talk to a gas-station clerk who was distraught about her boss's treatment of her.
"You deserve better," Nettleton recalls his Grandpa telling the woman. Nettleton could see that it made the clerk's day.
"Jack," he recalls Grandpa telling him later, "everyone is happier when they know they're valued.
"That's what Grandpa did; he made everyone feel valued."
U.S. Rep Denny Heck, who served as Gov. Gardner's chief of staff during his second term, echoed the sentiment, recalling that when they first met decades ago, Heck was a very nervous, and very lowly, committee clerk. Yet Booth Gardner, then a state senator, invited him to sit down and talk.
"He was very kind," Heck said.
Though Gov. Gardner was well-to-do, thanks, in part, to inherited wealth, he was known for his simple tastes, and for his humility.
"He really liked people," former Gov. Mike Lowry said in a video tribute. "He liked all people."
Sometime ago, when asked about his legacy, Gov. Gardner put it this way:
"I'd like to be remembered as a governor that did well with all the responsibility that was given to me," he said.
He died March 15, at age 76, of complications from Parkinson's disease. The diagnosis, years earlier, led him to champion the successful 2008 Death with Dignity campaign, which gave certain terminally ill patients the right to obtain life-ending medications.
In recent years, Parkinson's took away Gov. Gardner's ability to drive, to walk and to speak.
"Grandpa loved to talk to everyone," Nettleton said. "He can do that now. He loved to drive. He's doing that as well. He can finally be himself again."
Gregoire noted that her mentor is "in a far better place."
"We all knew this day would come," she said, her voice breaking with emotion. "We just didn't know how hard it would be."
In addition to eight grandchildren, he is survived by his daughter, Gail Gant, of Tacoma; and his son, Douglas Gardner, of University Place.

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - A pair of key members of Florida's
prominent defense are about to test the professional waters, with both tackle
Sharrif Floyd and safety Matt Elam announcing that they will skip their senior
seasons and apply for the 2013 NFL Draft.
Both players revealed their intention following Florida's 33-23 loss to
Louisville in Wednesday's Sugar Bowl.
Floyd, regarded as one of the top defensive line prospects in this year's
class, earned first team All-Southeastern Conference honors in 2012 and
finished the season with a team-high 13 tackles for loss along with three
sacks and 46 total stops. The 6-foot-3, 303-pounder racked up five tackles and
a pair of sacks in the Sugar Bowl.
Elam was named a first team All-American this past season and ended his junior
campaign with an 11-tackle, one-sack effort against the Cardinals. The Florida
native recorded 76 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and a team-best four
interceptions for the year.
"I wish it could have finished better, but I've had a great three years and
now I've been told I have a great opportunity to play in the pros," said Elam
after Wednesday's defeat. "It's a dream of mine to play in the NFL."
The two players helped the third-ranked Gators lead the nation in pass
efficiency defense heading into the bowl season. Florida also entered
Wednesday's game ranked third in scoring defense, fifth in total defense and
sixth against the run.

Chart-topper Taylor Swift defied her music managers' advice not to contribute a new song to the "One Chance" movie soundtrack after falling in love with the real-life underdog story.
The film stars actor James Corden as cell phone salesman Paul Potts, who shot to fame as an opera singer after winning Simon Cowell's reality TV show "Britain's Got Talent" in 2007.
Swift reveals she was on a recording break when she heard about the soundtrack opportunity, and she had to fight her representatives to break her radio silence and create the song Sweeter Than Fiction.
She says, "I had to fight to do this because I try to take a break in between albums and try to give people a minute to not hear me on the radio.
"I had to go around and ask people, 'Can I please, please put something out even though we're supposed to be going quiet?' My management, my label were like, 'No new music until the next album comes out.' Then I saw the movie and I was like, 'I have to be a part of this.'"
Swift teamed up with fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff to pen the upbeat track and they had no trouble coming up with ideas for the tune.
She adds, "Getting to see the struggles and triumphs of someone who never stopped chasing what he was after really inspired me. It's a beautiful movie and I just wanted to share it with as many people as I could."

Florida Bomb Suspect Indicted by Grand Jury
Tampa, FL (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a grand jury has indicted a Pinellas Park man on charges of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction in connection with an alleged militant Islamic plot.
The U.S. Attorney's Office announced 25-year-old Sami Osmakac's indictment Thursday. He was arrested Jan. 7 by federal agents after authorities say he bought explosive devices and firearms from an undercover agent. The items were disabled prior to the sale.
Authorities say Osmakac planned to use a car bomb and other weapons in an Islamist-inspired attack in Tampa.
Officials say he was also indicted on a charge of possession of an unregistered machine gun.
A senior official in Kosovo said last month that Osmakac met with radical Islamists during visits to his native country.
Official: US Bomb Suspect Met Kosovo Radicals
by Nebi Qena, Associated Press
Pristina, Kosovo (AP) - The man accused by U.S. authorities of plotting to bomb Florida nightclubs and a sheriff's office met with radical Islamists during visits to his native Kosovo, a senior official in the country said Wednesday.
International agencies had alerted Kosovo authorities that Sami Osmakac could be linked to Islamist extremists, the official told The Associated Press. He said the 25-year-old, an ethnic Albanian and naturalized U.S. citizen, discussed "issues in support of radical elements" with the individuals he met.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity. He declined to disclose further details.
U.S. authorities say Osmakac planned to use a car bomb and other weapons in an Islamist-inspired attack in the Tampa area of Florida.
He was arrested Saturday - the day officials said he was planning his attack - after he allegedly bought explosive devices and firearms from an undercover agent. The items were disabled prior to the sale.
Before his arrest, Osmakac recorded an eight-minute video explaining why he wanted to bring terror to his "victims' hearts," according to a federal complaint. Online videos have also emerged that show Osmakac railing against Christians, Jews and Western living.
Osmakac lived with his parents in a tan stucco home in Pinellas Park, Fla., a small city west of Tampa. He worked occasionally at the Balkan Food Store and Bakery in St. Petersburg, a small store owned by his parents.
He also occasionally visited his Kosovo, where he still has relatives.
Osmakac's aunt, Time Osmankaj, told the AP on Tuesday that Sami Osmakac was last in Kosovo in October 2011, but that she learned of his visit from neighbors and that he did not contact her or other relatives. Kosovo authorities also recorded earlier visits, one of them in May 2011.
U.S. officials have used a different spelling for the suspect's last name - Osmakac - than the one his family uses here in Kosovo.
On Wednesday afternoon, Osmakac's brother was working at the family's bakery and shook his head when asked to comment on the case. Osmakac's public defender in Florida, Alec Hall, said he didn't know about the Kosovo connection.
"I don't have any information about that at all," Hall said. "That's something I'll be looking into as his case matriculates into the system. I just don't have any comment."
Kosovo's majority ethnic Albanians are overwhelmingly Muslim and a small minority is Roman Catholic.
The population is a staunch supporter of the U.S. because of America's lead role in NATO's 1999 bombing of Serb forces that drove them out of Kosovo and ended a brutal crackdown on separatist ethnic Albanians.
Some 1,000 American soldiers serve as part of the NATO-led peacekeeping force that is in charge of security in the country, where tensions persist because Serbia has refused to accept Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence.
Tamara Lush in St. Petersburg, Fla., contributed to this report.
Florida Bomb Plot Suspect Posted Online Videos
St. Petersburg, FL (AP) - A Florida man accused of plotting to attack Tampa-area nightclubs and a sheriff's office with bombs and guns also posted several videos online in which he rails against Christians, Jews and Western living.
Twenty-five-year-old Sami Osmakec was arrested Monday. Authorities say Osmakec, who identifies himself as Muslim, was plotting to attack Tampa-area nightclubs and a sheriff's office with bombs and an assault rifle to avenge wrongs done to Muslims.
The videos appear to have been filmed around downtown Tampa.
A spokesman from the Tampa office from the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday that Osmakec did not appear to know much about the Quran's teaching. CAIR and federal authorities say the area's Muslim community helped law enforcement with information about Osmakec's militant views.
Florida Resident Charged with Plotting to Bomb Locations in Tampa
TAMPA, Fla. – January 9, 2012 -
A 25-year-old resident of Pinellas Park, Fla., has been charged in connection with an alleged plot to attack locations in Tampa with a vehicle bomb, assault rifle and other explosives, announced Robert E. O'Neill, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida; Lisa Monaco, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; and Steven E. Ibison, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Tampa Division.
Sami Osmakac, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in the former Yugoslavia (Kosovo), was arrested Saturday night. He is charged in a criminal complaint in the Middle District of Florida with one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) and is scheduled to make his initial appearance today at 2:00 p.m. EST, in federal court, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Anthony Porcelli, in Tampa. If convicted, Osmakac faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The arrest of Osmakac was the culmination of an undercover operation during which Osmakac was closely monitored by law enforcement officials for several months. The explosives and firearms that he allegedly sought and attempted to use were rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public.
"The perseverance and diligence of law enforcement caused this investigation to conclude in a successful manner," said U.S. Attorney O'Neill. "I would like to commend them for their hard work. This investigation was also predicated, in part, by assistance from the Muslim community. I would like to thank them as well."
"The facts as alleged in this case underscore the need for continued vigilance both at home and abroad. Thanks to a coordinated law enforcement effort, this alleged plot was thwarted before anyone was harmed," said Assistant Attorney General Monaco. "I applaud the many agents, analysts and prosecutors who worked together to ensure this matter was resolved safely."
"The Tampa FBI Division has always considered its relationships with regional community groups throughout Central and Southwest Florida extremely important. In this case, we are grateful for the Muslim community's continued support. This incident clearly demonstrated how citizens can help law enforcement keep our neighborhoods and our nation safe," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Steven Ibison.
According to the complaint affidavit, in Sept. 2011, the FBI received information from a confidential human source (CHS) indicating that Osmakac had asked for al-Qaeda flags. In November 2011, Osmakac and the CHS discussed and identified potential targets, in Tampa, where Osmakac intended on carrying out violent attacks. Osmakac allegedly asked the CHS for help in obtaining firearms and explosives for the attacks. The CHS indicated that he/she knew someone who might be able to provide firearms and explosives and introduced Osmakac to an undercover FBI employee.
The complaint alleges that Osmakac met with the undercover FBI employee, in person, on Dec. 21, 2011, and stated that he wished to acquire an AK-47-style machine gun, Uzi submachine guns, high capacity magazines, grenades and an explosive belt. In a subsequent meeting, Osmakac allegedly provided the undercover FBI employee with a $500 down payment for an AK-47, multiple homemade explosive grenades and the explosive belt.
According to the complaint, Osmakac also asked the undercover employee whether he/she could build bombs that could be placed in three different vehicles and detonated remotely, near where Osmakac would conduct a follow-up attack using the other weapons he requested. The undercover employee said he/she could possibly provide explosives for one vehicle. Osmakac also allegedly said that he wanted an explosive belt constructed to kill people.
During a subsequent meeting with the FBI undercover employee on Jan. 1, 2012, Osmakac allegedly described his attack plans by stating that he wanted to obtain a hotel room; park the vehicle with the bomb in it at his target; leave the area; detonate the car bomb; and then retrieve the weapons and explosives from the hotel room. Among Osmakac's alleged bomb targets were night clubs in the Ybor City area of Tampa, the operations center of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Ybor City and a business in the South Tampa area of Tampa.
The complaint alleges that, as part of the second portion of his planned attack, Osmakac told the undercover FBI employee that, after the car bomb was detonated, he wanted to use the explosive belt to "get in somewhere where there's a lot of people" and take hostages. He allegedly stated that he would then make demands of the FBI to release some prisoners. According to the criminal complaint, when discussing law enforcement officers that might respond to the scene, Osmakac allegedly stated, "once I have this . . . they can take me in five million pieces" in an apparent reference to the explosive belt that would be attached to his waist.
During the Jan. 1st meeting, the undercover FBI employee noted that Osmakac could change his mind and back out of the plot. According to the complaint, Osmakac immediately shook his head in the negative and stated, "We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?"
On Jan. 7, 2012, FBI agents arrested Osmakac after he took possession of the explosive devices and firearms that had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement. The complaint alleges that, shortly prior to his arrest, Osmakac made a video of himself explaining his motives for carrying out the planned violent attack.
This investigation is being conducted by the FBI Tampa Division and the Tampa Joint Terrorism Task Force. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Sweeney from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, with assistance from Trial Attorney Clem McGovern of the Counterterrorism Section in the Department of Justice's National Security Division.
The charges contained in the criminal complaint are mere allegations. As in any criminal case, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Man's Fight Against Shelter Levy Continues
He believes Hancock County is going beyond state law
July 29, 2013
NEW MANCHESTER — For two years, David Cline has fought a losing battle to overturn a levy that funds the Hancock County Animal Shelter, maintaining it amounts to taxpayer support of a private humane......
Hey NOcommonsense, from the tone of your posting I doubt if you've ever written a "donation" check. As to not knowing what you're voting on enough levies have been voted down in the valley to disprove that notion.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
In the days BEFORE people got lazy, places like shelters were 100% run on DONATIONS and VOLUNTEERS!!!!!
And THAT is as it SHOULD be today!!!
Just like the VOLUNTEER fire departments that ran 100% on DONATIONS!!! (Not government grants and "fire fees"!!)
Today, we have counties that call a TAX a "levy" and the lemmings don't even know what they are voting for!!
MANADATORY fire TAX is being forced down our throats when we are being covered by VOLUNTEERS!!!
VOLUNTEER is my definition work that is done for FREE or "donated"!!
The same is true for animal shelters
If I am FORCED to pay a "levy", "fee", or whatever other progressive name they want to call a TAX, then I will be forced to STOP any and ALL donations to these places!!!
If YOU like paying a tax to support the shelters, pools, etc, then WRITE THEM A CHECK!!!
And stop STEALING the money from the rest if us!!!
Once ANY "levy" is started, it NEVER goes away!!!

What a jerk! With around 30,000 in the county it cost less than $10.00 per person a year. Maybe he wasn't allowed a puppy when he was growing up.....or a sheep either. ...

Everyone has to complain about something. I do think that animals are, in some cases being treated better than people, by laws.

A steel worker complaining about taxpayer's $$$ support for animals... but not complaining about taxpayer's $$$ support for steel workers?

Well said Ragnar. The scarey thought is some were foolish enough to elect this idiot a county commissioner once upon a time. I've been to the Hancock animal shelter and believe Hancock county taxpayers are getting a great return on their tax dollars.

Wow this guy has nothing else to do with his life? Obviously he has no compassion for animals. Perhaps he should be put on the street like the strays and live like them.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Well, taxpayers aren't legally or morally obligated to subsidize shiftless layabouts, steelworker pensions or senior citizen programs but they do it, anyway.
You have to question the character and motivation of someone who would waste so much time and, presumably, money, fighting basic care for homeless animals in need.
Government often contracts out to private businesses. Morgantown has a private trash hauler for which residents pay a fee. Is this subsidizing a private business?
Get a life, you loser.

Summary:Like the young Indian braves of long ago, Benjamin Fiedler is about to undergo an initiation rite that will take him from boy to man. But rather than face the perils of the hunt, he must endure something far worse--a Bar Mitzvah in Brentwood, California. It's not enough that Benjamin must stand in front of a Temple full of strangers chanting Hebrew, a language he doesn't understand. He must also cope with the efforts of his parents, Adam and Joanne, to splurge on a party-to-end-all-parties, a mega-bash where the Bar is more important that the Mitzvah and a Jewish Star means Neil Diamond. Above all, the Fiedlers must surpass the "Titanic"-themed Bar Mitzvah given by Adam's rival agent, Annie ... Full Summary >>

Hi to all, after several tests on my 60gb ps3 console i come with my 3rd mod of ps3 reduce heat and i i think the best and cheapest at the moment. For all 60gb owners i think this mod is the best mod that reduce 40% heat inside from the ps3 because i take out the power supply that making the 40% heat from the entire system, my ps3 after that mod was 2 level down fan speed cause i take the 40% out from ps3 and i want to show you how to do it because we must keep our 60gb i think its the best consoles from all ps3 until now and we must keep it alive... So lets start:
What you will need:
1- 1 meter of good ethernet cable
2- 1 meter of good sound meter- the fat one from the sound speakers
3- 1 good silicone- i prefer logo
4- 1 one drill and screws
5- Your will to keep your 60gb console ALIVE for a long time
Lets Start
In N1 Picture i will tell you about the cables, you wiil make the white5 cable longer with the ethernet cable like in A position
In N1 and N2 Picture you will make a cable with very caution withe the power of ps3 and the sound fat cable like me in N1 Picture B position and for better put silicon after you fix the cable for sure that will not move from their position.
In N1 Picture make the power supply cable longer again with fat one sound cable like me in C Position.
In N1 Picture take a cable with geo to connect it on power supply in the end for not electricity danger like me in D Position
Now take the back plastic of ps3 and make 2 big holes for the cable and 4 for the power supply like me in N3 Picture A-B Position and then take all the cables and get it through like me in N4 Picture.
Very important after you finished you must put silicone in the holes that you make for not take the ps3 air from that holes because it will lose air compress and it will make more heat because it will not take the air from the holes that it have by its own.
I hope you will fix it without problem i fix it in 3-4 ours and now it runs smooth and quite and if u have any other ideas please tell it to me to try it, all ideas for the good of 60gb consoles that disappear slowly slowly and sorry for my bad english, i'm from greece.
Here are 2 videos to see it in action:

Aachen : Michelin's recommendations
Aachen, in the northern foothills of the Ardennes, is the city of coronations. Between 936 and 1531, thirty German princes were crowned King of Germany in the cathedral. It then lost this privilege to Frankfurt. Charlemagne chose Aachen as the permanent home of the Frankish court. In 800, he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. His court became a font of learning and its religious schools helped the spread of culture and Christianisation.

Our General Manager, Dr. Danny Sabbah, framed cloud computing perfectly in his keynote address at Pulse 2012.
When you think of the levels of innovation you are required to give to the business, cloud is the right technology to do it.
Since the Cloud lives on the Internet, which is built upon the "bricks" of open standards, it should not surprise you that there is a drive to an ubiquitous Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.
In October 2011, my neighbors to the South at Rackspace founded the OpenStack Foundation.
Today, IBM is announcing that we will be joining the OpenStack Foundation as Platinum-level sponsors along with AT&T, Canonical, HP, Nebula, Rackspace, Red Hat and SUSE.
The OpenStack Foundation has a great blog post that covers what's happening today and what the next steps will be.
The official press release is on MarketWatch and I'd also suggest reading IBM Vice President of Software Standards Angel Diaz's two very cool posts A Smarter Planet blog and Wired's Cloudline.
This is the start of a very exciting future for cloud computing and of course there will be more news coming from the OpenStack Foundation in the weeks to come at events like the OpenStack Design Summit & Conference in San Francisco on April 16-20 and IBM Impact in Las Vegas on April 29 - May 4.
OpenStack is on Twitter at @OpenStack and of course follow @IBMCloud and #ibmcloud for what's going on here.
To close out this post, I thought I'd embed the keynote mentioned above. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it since nobody explains the importance of cloud better than Danny.

Hometown: Hokkaido, Japan
Birth date: 2/9/90
Recent Hardware: Two-time Japan National Halfpipe Champion (2005-'08), '06 World Junior Halfpipe Champion and 2011 Burton Canadian Open Halfpipe Champion.
Hailing from Japan's north island of Hokkaido, snowboard pro Kohei Kudo grew up with easy access to some of the world's best powder terrain, right there in his own backyard. Not surprisingly, this high-energy kid developed an addiction to powder at an early age. At the same time he began fueling his love for airtime and steep landings by riding halfpipe as much as possible at his home resort Tomamu. With innate natural ability and a go-for-broke approach to riding transition, Kohei showed promise almost immediately. Guided by his riding mentors - the fabled Seven Samurai crew - Kohei also began competing and filming early on. In 2010 his riding hit the world stage when he represented Japan in halfpipe at the Vancouver Olympics (top 15 o/a). The following season Kohei started breaking into the top ten in international competitions like Grand Prix and TTR World Tour events. That year he also took home his first Global Series win, claiming the crown at the Burton Canadian Open. In 2012, Kohei continued to battle it out in pipes all over the world, including the prestigious U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships. An explosive and exciting rider to watch, combine his skill set and it becomes pretty obvious that Kohei won't just go big; he'll also go far.
