Why your mall is putting in a grocery store
Trader Joe's, Jimbo's and Whole Foods are among planned food offerings in San Diego malls
The concept of locating a grocery store in a mall is not new. Years ago, Grossmont Center and Westfield Horton Plaza both had grocery stores.
Grossmont Center, which now has a busy Target and a Walmart, benefits from having food as part of the mix, said general manager Mike Hansen. Both stores have expanded their grocery sections within the past five years. "I think it's a good addition to any center," Hansen said.
The Target store in Westfield Plaza Bonita expanded its grocery offerings in 2010. It carries the most commonly purchased items, such as family packs of chicken breasts, bagged organic spinach salad and bananas. There are also seasonal items, such as hot dogs for summer and stone fruit like peaches and plums. The Plaza Bonita store also caters to the Latino market with brands such as Takis snack chips.
"It's a good assortment, and it's the assortment that sells the best. It's the high velocity items that we stock," said Kristin Hales, food business partner for Target, during a recent walk-through. "We don't have the store volume to carry everything, so we have to be very strategic with the core items."
There can be challenges when you stick a supermarket in a mall built for department stores and boutiques. Usually, there's a need for additional investment in tenant improvements to ensure that the space can provide adequate water and refrigeration. Another challenge: shopping carts in malls, especially in multi-level stores.
So far, mall owners seem willing to chip in. Westfield is footing the bill for millions of dollars in improvements at Horton Plaza to make way for the Jimbo's with new escalators, elevators and a "Vermaport," which is an escalator for shopping carts.
At Flower Hill Promenade, there's no need to retrofit a building. The Whole Foods is new construction replacing a rundown theater.
Parking and traffic are always concerns, particularly in Mission Valley. Shoppers are worried about how the new Trader Joe's will affect the already tight parking lot in the busy center between a Gordon Biersch restaurant and an Old Navy.
"Can a grocery store function in the holiday season in a mall?" said Brown of Terranomics. "Do you really want to brave mall traffic just to pick up a head of lettuce? But I think more and more people will start to roll the dice on it."
Fortunately, grocery stores tend to be open for longer hours than stores, noted Rose Jabin, general manager of Flower Hill Promenade. Its retail stores tend to close at 6 p.m. but Whole Foods will probably stay open until 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. And the benefits outweigh the risks, she said.
"Having some big anchors like this really draws people," she said. "It provides stability for the center, brings people in on a more regular basis — and it provides a convenience to them to have these other uses."

Not to be out done by the boy ballers this weekend, the ladies were out and about on the practice courts and the big lawn of Indian Wells sharpening their games, strengthening their bodies, and participating in some other, ah-hem, interesting activities.

Free He'Brew Beer Tastings at 'Craft Beer Bar Mitzvah' Readings This Week
By Allie Pape on May 11, 2011 3:00 PM
From latkes and hamentaschen to bagels and gefilte fish, Jewish food has become an iconic part of American culture. Jewish booze, on the other hand, has mostly been relegated to punchlines about syrupy Manischewitz. Jeremy Cowan has helped to change all that. His Shmaltz Brewing Company, founded in SF in 1996, started with only 100 cases of hand-labeled He'Brew Beer. Fifteen years later, Shmaltz sells over 100,000 cases of its kosher craft beers per year, and has supplemented He'Brew with a second line of beers, Coney Island Craft Lagers.

There is an option to print your contacts list in the zimbra webinterface, but most of the names and e-mailadresses just get cut off by the table end. Quite the waste of paper, printing all that
While I was messing around with contacts I also noted that you can't copy contacts, only move them. Shouldn't be too difficult to add a move button I think? Would be appreciated
And lastly, there is no way to export them. It would be nice to export them in csv or something. But maybe I'm just nitpicking
Keep up the good work!

West Coast Kustoms' 29th Annual Cruisin' Nationals - Third Time's A Charm ...Written by on December 1, 2010
While the city of Santa Maria, California, is still in its infancy as the host of West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nationals, the event itself has been a custom car tradition for the last three decades. For the majority of its 29 consecutive years, however, it was simply known as Paso.
Three years after West Coast Kustoms' abrupt departure from the quaint winery town of Paso Robles, it appears as if the P-word may have finally worn off, as Santa Maria-along with all those who now migrate there each Memorial Day Weekend-embraces the Cruisin' Nats as if it were its own. Well, whether or not he had full support from city officials and residents, Mayor Larry Lavagnino rolled out the red carpet this year, living up to last year's promise of hosting a Friday night cruise on the city's main drag, Broadway. With that, the show not only gained an added attraction, it reestablished one of the key ingredients that made the Cruisin' Nats what it is now ... or was prior to the change of venue.
The 29th Annual show marked its third year in Santa Maria, and it seems as if it's finally overcoming many of the post-Paso struggles. While it will never regain the borderless, non-fairgrounds atmosphere, something that put the Cruisin' Nats in a league of its own, there's no denying it's still one of the best custom car shows around. That said, it kind of looks like it will rank among one of the better West Coast lowrider events as well. (There's been a noticeable amount of lowriders in attendance for some time now, but this past year the percentage was much, much higher.)
One thing that will remain a constant no matter where the show's held is the West Coast Kustoms' Hall of Fame induction. This year's honorees include a familiar name to the pages of Rod & Custom, Pat Ganahl. Along with Ganahl, famed pinstriper/painter and custom car builder Dean Jefferies was also honored as a '10 Hall of Famer.
In addition to the newly established cruise down Broadway, with help from PPG Industries, West Coast Kustoms teamed up with East Coast Artie to host the Santa Maria Brush Bash Panel Jam & Charity Auction. Pinstripers from near and far united striping brushes and One-Shot over the course of the weekend. In between live music performances on the Santa Maria Fairpark center stage, items were auctioned and proceeds donated to the Rich Pichette Alzheimer's Awareness Project.

Richard (Rich) Pichette
 February 9, 1941-July 28, 2010
 Just as we were putting this issue together, West Coast Kustoms founder Rich Pichette lost his battle with Alzheimer's on July 28, 2010, at the age of 69. Thanks to the tireless efforts of his wife, Penny, the Pichette family, and the entire West Coast Kustoms organization, his legacy will no doubt be carried on.Paul Harper cruised all the way down from Roslyn, Washington, in this lime green metallic '51 Cadillac. Kev Elliott managed to snap a feature while we had the opportunity, so you can expect to see and read more in an upcoming issue.When it comes to picking colors, Marcos Garcia (Lucky 7) is one of the best in the biz, as evidenced by John Tiscareno's '56 Bel Air hardtop. Had it not been for the searing blue and pearl cream white, I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to this car-but I did, and in doing so, noticed the little details that separate this '56 from the typical Tri-Fives I'm used to walking right past.Seem strikingly familiar? Strangely enough, the Santa Maria Inn, home base for the Cruisin' Nationals (outside the event venue, that is), features a distinctive clock tower similar to the one at the "other" Inn where a lot of the action took place during the show.Wasn't too long ago that I was devoting my Memorial Day Weekends entirely to shooting pickups-which isn't a bad thing when you've got material like this to work with. Still, it's good to be back with the "trunks"!Paul Cepeda's '59 El Camino is about as clean and well-executed as they come-and it also goes to show that you can back-date ('53 Chevy grille teeth, Cad sombreros) with good results.I'll bet if you were to trace back the origins of suede as we know it now (modern-era use and trends), you'd find yourself looking at images of customs at the Cruisin' Nats from years past.
Being into lowriders, I dug seeing all the '30s-40s bombs, like this '48 Chevy Fleetline. However, I did take notice to the increased number of lowriders in attendance, as the areas around the Fairpark's center stage and near the spectator gates were mostly consumed with them.

Rafael Nadal just announced he will not be competing in Dubai so he can rest the ligament he strained under his knee in Rotterdam. He is, however, looking to compete in the Spain vs. Serbia Davis Cup tie:
I am very disappointed not to be able to compete in Dubai but the doctor has advised me to stay home and rest after the pain on my knee in Rotterdam last week. Nothing to be worried about but it needs some rest. I ask my fans and the tournament organizers to understand and I am sorry for this. Dubai is one of my favorite tournaments and I have always played there. The field is always great and more important the crowds are always supportive. I expect to be back in competition the following week for the Davis Cup tie in Benidorm against Serbia and then traveling to Indian Wells and Miami after.Not completely unexpected but it's certainly another big blow to the tourney after Roger Federer's withdrawal and all the controversy surrounding Shahar Peer + Andy Ram.
In other Rafanews (thanks to Maja) the world's top baller was spotted working some pretty red colors (a great choice for him BTW) on some pretty red clay courts and standing by a pretty red sports car shooting another commericial. And guess who tagged along? Xisca, of course. Do they always have to look SO cute? Damn you Rafisca!
Now that I think about it, there's really nothing else for a massively famous, laid up athlete to do besides make a boat load of dough off-court. I'd like that option please. *begs and pleads*
Anyways, which version do you like best: Sporty Rafa, Casual Rafa, or Anything Rafa?

But these boots are hot too no doubt. Again, can they BE any cuter (apart and Rafisca'ed)?????
I prefer Naked!Rafa, por favor.ReplyDelete
I would kill for ANY boots - or maybe the chance to wear them. Do you know how silly it looks to wear them in a tropical country? *head desk*ReplyDelete

I'm glad he's out of Dubai. He needs the rest, and the more that tournament gets screwed the better.
this is kinda random, but since people are wondering about the 'RN' hat, does anyone know where can I buy a really nice Rafa T-shirt! not those really tacky fan tees, if u know what i mean =)ReplyDelete

Damn you Xisca! Do have to show off your gorgeous boyfriend all the time?!
And BTW, that bag is so 2004... *rolls eyes*
He looks really yummy again though. For me, it's MotocrossRafa or ToplessRafa... well, and EverythingRafa... LOL

sad for Shahar, but please don't dismiss the Dubai tournament.ReplyDelete
It's so important for tennis to have more fans, and I can tell you the Middle East has it's share of tennis fanatics, Rafanatics,...
Last year, I was in the ME, and it was great to have a tournie with so much TV coverage locally (Dubai).
Technically, there is a list of several Arab countries which you can't enter and then enter Israel (or vice versa) on the same passport. So we can blame the crappy diplomacy, the wars, but that's the context of this thing.
It's actually spectacular that athletes can break this Israeli-Arab visa barrier for competition, so let's hope they continue this way...trying to provide the best situation for athletes who want to compete, regardless of politics.

Government investigators say the Federal Emergency Management Agency ignored the law and misused millions of dollars to build two warehouses after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
An inspector general report to be released Thursday said some of the money FEMA misused should have gone toward Katrina victims in Louisiana.
In the summer of 2006, FEMA spent more than $7 million on two warehouses the agency said it needed to repair trailers and mobile homes used by disaster victims.
One of the warehouses was paid for out of the federal disaster relief fund, which investigators say is not permitted. And the other warehouse was paid for out of proceeds from sales of travel trailers and mobile homes, also not allowed.
The report says senior FEMA leadership rejected the proposals for these warehouses, but they were built anyway.

Dedicated Wheels Turn Black Students into Practicing Physicians
Dentist. Doctor. Surgeon. In a country where dreams are like wings, a new cadre of students is soaring as the next generation of promising health professionals.
The group meets protégés where they are — on campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and in high schools largely based in medically underserved communities.
Physicians Alden M. Landry, 31, and Kameron Leigh Matthews, 33, launched their "get on the bus" style Tour for Diversity in Medicine to promote health professions to underrepresented students throughout the country.
A pledge to "give back" has fueled the passions of the two former medical students, who have translated their commitment to mentoring into opportunity on wheels. The branded motor bus is literally on a roll, traveling to sometimes unlikely places to reach, teach and inspire.
"We recognize that many of the students we reach may not have the resources or inclination to come to recruitment fairs," said Matthews, who has earned both J.D. and M.D. degrees. The pair seek to reach people in their comfort zone to explain that dreams beyond their immediate reach are attainable.
Tour for Diversity is a project of Hip Hop Health, Inc., a nonprofit organization that Landry launched to blend social media and health education to reach and inspire the Hip Hop generation. The bus tour was the brainchild of Matthews and Landry, both leaders of the Student National Medical Association. The association is the student branch of the National Medical Association, the largest and oldest professional society of African-American physicians.
Landry is a 2000 alumnus of the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program, formerly the Minority Medical Education Program, a free enrichment program sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The six-week academic initiative provides rising college freshman and sophomores from disadvantaged backgrounds with a timely introduction to the rigorous preparation required to pursue careers in medicine or dentistry. The program operates at 12 university sites with each accepting up to 80 students per summer session.
"The program jumpstarted my commitment to becoming a physician by showing me what it takes to get into medical school early—so I could get on track to realize my dreams," Landry recalls.
The recruitment drive for summer 2013 participants will open Nov. 1 and will continue to accept applications through March 1. For more information, visit www.smdep.org.
SMDEP 12 site locations include:
· Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio)
· Columbia University (New York, N.Y.)
· Duke University (Durham, N.C.)
· Howard University (Washington, D.C.)
· University of California-Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Calif.)
· UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical and New Jersey Dental (Newark, N.J.)
· University of Louisville (Louisville, Ky.)
· University of Nebraska (Omaha, Neb.)
· University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Va.)
· University of Washington (Seattle, Wash.)
· University of Texas-Houston (Houston, Texas)
· Yale University (New Haven, Conn.)
Insufficient financial resources, coupled with an uncertainty about how to prepare for a medical future, are two major barriers for prospective students. SMDEP helps to fill gaps and inspire success by working to increase diversity in the health care workforce.
"Diverse perspectives reflected in our dental and medical professions are necessary for a better patient experience," explains the program's National Program Officer Norma Poll-Hunter, PhD, co-deputy director for the Association of American Medical Colleges. "SMDEP brings talent that's not traditionally represented in our medical and dental school applicant pools."
Landry, an emergency medicine physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, agrees. "Without a more diverse workforce, the current health disparities will persist, if not worsen."
Current trends in the health care workforce point to the need for sustained recruitment to yield a more diverse pool of candidates in medical and dental schools. While minorities represent 26 percent of the U.S. population, less than 6 percent of American Indians, Blacks and Hispanics collectively are physicians or dentists, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The Tour for Diversity fall outreach (September 24-29, 2012) included six universities between Atlanta and Dearborn, Mich. The next tour in February 2013 will take them to several Texas college campuses. Landry, Matthews and other physician mentors share personal insights and advice on what prospective candidates can expect to help debunk fears of "I'm not smart enough."
"Our purpose is to emphasize to students the importance of early exposure, advising and mentorship," says Matthews.

Cameron said. His brother, Riley, was unable to attend the awards ceremony at the Iowa State Fair. The traffic accident last November may've been a sample of what's to come for Cameron. The 20-year-old hopes to be a firefighter. Cameron recently graduated from Western Iowa Tech Community College with a degree in Fire Science.
Iowa Man Farming in Zimbabwe
(Le Mars) -- Even though they farm their ground November through April, most of the principles are they same. Iowa native Larry Kies is the technical advisor for the farm at Africa University in Zimbabwe Africa. He spent time this week visiting United Methodist churches in Northwest Iowa, educating and talking with the people that support his ministry. Kies has been living portions of his life in Africa since 1976, after he graduated with a biology degree from Iowa State, and has been employed at Africa University since 2002. The student population is around 1,200, with 100 in the school of agriculture. On the schools farm they raise: corn, wheat, a little cotton, milks 14 cows, raises a few hogs and harvest 3,000 broaster chickens monthly. His farm operates at about the size of a small scale commercial farm in Zimbabwe.
When it comes to corn, Kies says Zimbabwe isn't behind the eight ball, but they haven't fully embraced the technology that's available either.
Kies added that Pioneer is one company that has been allowed in Zimbabwe.
Farms tend to be smaller in Zimbabwe than here in Iowa. A resource poor farm may be as small as 1 to 10 acres. Large commercial farms can be as big as 600 acres. The owning of land is not a right that the people of Zimbabwe have. Kies explains.
One of the current needs of Larry's ministry is a different tractor to replace 2 tractors with low horse power that don't work very well. Half of the money of the $32,000 needed, has been raised for the equipment. At the school, and throughout Zimbabwe, Kies says most of the farmers use 4 row equipment.
In the time that Larry has lived in Zimbabwe, much has changed concerning the economy. He tells about the most common denominations of money in 2008.
Now, Zimbabwe deals in US dollars, and $1 will buy you a decent loaf of bread.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Department of Natural Resources says
the release of orange, iron-laden cooling water has killed an
unknown number of fish in Mason City.
The agency reported Friday that the water came from a Golden
Grain plant, where investigators determined too much sulfuric acid
was added to a cooling system. That caused rust from a piping
system to taint the water, which was released to Cheslea Creek on
the south side of Mason City.
The DNR couldn't count how many fish were killed because the
water remained so discolored. It appears the fish killed were
species of minnow.
The plant has diverted about 600,000 gallons of iron-laden water
to a pond, where it will be stored and then processed.
The DNR may later seek restitution for the dead fish.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The federal government says U.S. corn growers
could end up with their lowest average yield in 17 years as the
drought continues to take its toll.
The U.S. Agriculture Department is slashing its projected U.S.
corn production to 10.8 billion bushels. That's down from its
forecast last month of close to 13 billion bushels and 13 percent
lower than last year. That also would be the lowest production
since 2006.
The USDA says it expects corn growers to average 123.4 bushels
per acre, down 24 bushels from last year. That would be the lowest
average yield since 1995.
Soybean production is now forecast at 2.69 billion bushels, a 12
percent decline from last year. Expected yields on average of 36.1
bushels per acre would be the lowest since 2003.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - During a summer of drought, Iowa's corn crop likely will plunge
19 percent below last year's production.
The crop is forecast at nearly 1.92 billion bushels, based on
Aug. 1 conditions.
A USDA report released Friday says the yield is forecast at 141
bushels an acre, which would be the lowest figure since 1997.
Soybean production is forecast at 406 million bushels, which
would be nearly 13 percent under last year's figure.
Soybean yield is forecast at 43 bushels an acre, which would be
7.5 bushels under last year.
(Ames) -- Democratic 4th District Congressional candidate, Christie Vilsack has announced she will conduct a two-day "Value of Hard Work Tour" beginning Tuesday, August 14th. Vilsack says she will discuss her plans to create layers of economic opportunity in rural America and support middle class families across the district. Vilsack will make stops at Templeton, Holstein, Crystal Lake, Pocahontas, Humboldt, Fort Dodge and Storm Lake.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa Division of Criminal
Investigation agent has been assigned to a two-year term in
Secretary of State Matt Schultz's office to look into cases of
potential voter fraud.
County auditors told The Associated Press they were surprised
when they were introduced to Special Agent Daniel Dawson during a
meeting Wednesday in Cedar Rapids.
Auditors say Dawson told them that he was looking into 2,000 or
more voters already.
Schultz's spokesman wouldn't confirm that number, noting many of
them would turn out to be data errors. The Republican has vowed to
prove that voter fraud exists in Iowa as he pushes for a voter
identification law.
Schultz's aides have used data to look for people who voted in
two states, noncitizens who voted illegally and deceased people who
remain registered.

RESTON, Va. (WUSA) - Animal Control Officers arrested a 26-year-old Reston Zoo director on Friday after a five-month-long investigation.
According to Fairfax County Police, Meghan Mogensen of Silver Spring was charged with animal cruelty and possession of a controlled substance after supposed improper treatment of a sick wallaby, and the improper use of euthanasia drugs.
After following up on the death of an adult wallaby at the Reston Zoo located at 1228 Hunter Mill Road, Fairfax County Police started an investigation dealing with Mogensen's alleged improper treatment of injured animals.

Please enter a search term to begin your search.
"Look Both Ways" at the Reflection Gallery December 6 to January 31
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Reflection Gallery, Hancock, will host an exhibit of past, recent, and new work by Hancock artist Phyllis Fredendall from December 6, 2012, to January 31, 2013.
An opening reception for the artist will be held at the Reflection Gallery on Thursday, December 6, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served.
"Look Both Ways...New and Used Works" is a retrospective exhibit of Fredendall's work that highlights the many ideas and memories that appear in her work.
"This has been a chance to gather favorite pieces that are in the collections of friends and family and reconsider them in the light of more recent work," Fredendall says. "Bodies of work document phases in the artist's life. Family history, political events, maps, the relationship of place to memory, and the mine shafts all have served as inspiration."
A connection to Finland strengthens Fredendall's work. In fact, it was there that she discovered her love of felting.
"The unique properties of wool have kept my attention since I learned hands-on felt making techniques 15 years ago in Finland," Fredendall says. "But it was on Isle Royale when I realized that I could use this great medium to chart the paths of humans and animals that so fascinated me. That was 2002, and I have been working with wool as an art medium ever since."
Maps, pathways, and waterways; curves, lines, shapes, and color; wool, silk, and beads ... and memory. All of these things are incorporated in Fredendall's body of work, which she describes a "human attempt to reflect the complexity and glory of this precious planet."
Fredendall is a professor of fiber and fashion design at Finlandia University, where she has taught for almost twenty years. She has a master of fine arts from Goddard College, Plainfield, Vt. Her work has been exhibited in Finland and nationwide.
The Reflection Gallery is located on the second level of Finlandia's Jutila Center campus, 200 Michigan Street, Hancock, MI 49930.

The Best Pizza Delivery in the City
By root on February 03, 2009 5:11 PM
Though we hate to admit that New York is superior to San Francisco in any way, we've got to hand it to the Big Apple when it come to food delivery. And while we might not have the plethora of options our Eastern brethren enjoy, every once in a while we like to have a pizza delivered to our door, too. Here are our five picks for the best delivery pizza in the city. Pair the pies (naturally) with one of Mr. Mackay's picks for best pizza wine.

CYBERSPACE (AP) — The Washington Redskins were hoping to gain ground on an effort by a U.S. Senator to force the NFL team to change its name.
But instead, the team has been thrown for a loss.
The team asked fans to tweet Senator Harry Reid to show their support for the nickname. But many told Reid they support his call for owner Dan Snyder to "do what is morally right" and change the name.
Tweet @SenatorReid to show your #RedskinsPride and tell him what the team means to you.

The Winslow
243 E. 14th St., 212-777-7717, East Village, Manhattan
The crumpet, a teacake that's served on Downton Abbey and giggled about on The Ricky Gervais Show, enters the modern vernacular at The Winslow, a new, UK–inspired gastropub. The nooks and crannies of the English muffin–like base are a warm, spongy delivery system for house-smoked salmon, braised Moroccan lamb or a smear of goat cheese and shredded duck confit—a ripping bar snack for only $4. Fish and chips and bubble and squeak are other good trips down memory lane. Drinking is the primary reason to set your compass for this hospitable East Village watering hole—over 20 beers on tap, lots of gins, whiskeys and specialty cocktails engineered by Dominic Venegas of The NoMad—but it's nice to know proper attention is also paid to the food.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- Imagine being able to control some of the symptoms of autism by wearing a bracelet.
There are still so many questions when it comes to diagnosing and treating autism, but seniors at Thomas Jefferson High School have created a piece of jewelry that may provide some answers.
Their invention is getting the attention of parents and the autism community alike.
The bracelet records a conversation then analyzes it. Once this happens, a corresponding face icon shows up on the bracelet with the words happy or angry.
The students have received funding from Lemelson Foundation at MIT and others.
If their math works, a true breakthrough could take place in finding the missing piece of autism.
The students are already receiving positive feedback from local families and organizations like Autism Speaks.

I do most of my water activities in the caribbean - snorkling, diving and some boating. The ONeil skins give me protection from the sun and keep me comfortable in and under the water. I rarely need a suit, I just use my dive skin for anything 65ft. or less. It lets me feel the water without losing too much body heat and dries quickly when I am out of the water. However since I am a short stocky person they sometimes are a bit long for me, however that does not change how great I think they are.

Thank you for the suggestion but I normally leave that particular DVR on the local CBS affiliate's sub channel 8-2 (called LWS) that's a 24/7 local weather channel.
Good to hear. You could "uninstall" your OTA antenna if you're not routinely using it for space reasons. That would remove those channels from the available pool SEARCH could match. I realize that's a pain though, and then you won't have it as back-up for weather issues.
I'm going to test this and if I get the same results, report NNOT HDTV not being respected by OTA channels as an "issue".
RE: HDTV. Yes, that works. I could have sworn that "HD" used to work, tho. I'm always looking for ways to shave characters where I can, because of the 50 limit. /steve
I am a weather "buff" being terrified of thunderstorms I always want to know "where they are". So uninstalling the OTA would definitely not be an option for me. But I do appreciate the suggestion.
I suspect that I will simply "weed out" games it schedules on an OTA channel and just add them from the guide on the SD version. At least it is adding some SD games for me so I think that's something to be happy about at this point. Again, thanks so much!

Tampa, Florida - Avid tobacco smokers like a change every now and then. Some turn to hookah cafes -- that's tobacco soaked in molasses filtered through water.
"It's a good feeling," says one woman.
It's that feeling some look for in the wrong places. A man on the street pulls out a marijuana joint from a box of cigarettes. "It's real!" he says.
While a joint can land one behind bars, a new herbal incense blend is becoming an alternative to marijuana. It appeared in the U.S. a year ago and it's seen as the new "legal" high.
"It is very calming, it's euphoric, not intoxicating to me," says Colby Wise, owner of "It's All Good" smoke shop in Bradenton. Wise sells the herbal incense known by a long list of brand names, including Black Mamba, Spice, K-2. The cost is about $50 for a 3-gram bag.
"I never once pushed these products. I don't believe any of these other stores are pushing them they don't have to because people are seeking them out," says Wise.
What's the attraction? The herbal mixture is sprayed with synthetic-cannabinoid chemicals. One chemical is called JWH-018 and it's similar to THC found in marijuana, but research shows it's 4 to 5 times more potent.
"In fact, it may be more dangerous than marijuana," says pharmacist and USF professor Glenn Whelan. The herbal incense is a rapidly growing trend that concerns Whelan.
"The addiction potential, the dependence potential even the withdrawal potential can be more intense than what marijuana can normally be," he adds.
The cannabis-like chemicals appear on the Drug Enforcement Administration web site as a "drug and chemical of concern."
That may be due to its improper use. Spice, K2 and products like it are marketed as an herbal incense... key word being incense. It's meant to be burned, not smoked. There are natural herbal smoking blends for that.
"The smoking herbs are different types of herbs that are made for human consumption. You can smoke these and give you different euphoric smoking effects," explains Leo Calzadilla, who owns Purple Haze smoke shops in St. Petersburg.
"This is all aroma therapy incense. You have K2, K2 Summit, Serenity, Kind Spice," says Calzadilla. Wise and Calzadilla both card customers to make sure they are 18 years old or older.
Calzadilla says if someone comes into his store asking how to smoke one of the herbal incense blends, the sale is over. "We won't sell it to them. The intent is not meant to smoke it, we won't condone it," says Calzadilla.
He says the warning on the packaging is clear, "not meant for human consumption."
"If I felt I was selling a product that wasn't safe, I wouldn't sell it," adds Wise from Bradenton.
Wise knows some customers will ignore the warning, that's why he tries to educate them. Wise says, "If they chose to smoke it, they need to be aware it has not been tested."
A U.S. scientist created the drug mimicking marijuana in 1995 to help chemo therapy patients get back their appetite, but unlike marijuana, there are no medicinal benefits and testing in humans has never been done. Whelan says smokers are playing Russian roulette. "Not only dealing with a more potent compound, you don't know how much being sprayed on these leaves," warns Whelan.
Since the drug is not federally regulated, it dodges traditional drug tests. "It's not being caught, it's slipping underneath the radar," says Whelan.
Kansas is the first state to outlaw herbal incense blends like K2. Seven other states are close: Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Illinois. Florida is not on the list, yet.
Wise hopes legislators in Florida think carefully before banning herbal incense blends like K2. "Please do not criminalize it, regulate it and enjoy the tax dollars," he says.
Wise says smoking the herbal blend for him is equal to drinking a glass of wine for others, and he is not breaking the law. "With these particular products, it gives an alternative to still be law abiding citizens and function in society just fine."
Experts say the only way to detect the synthetic marijuana-like chemical is a blood test given shortly after it's smoked. The National Center for Drug Free Sports is developing a test to easily detect the cannabis-like chemical in NFL and NCAA athletes.
The test should be ready by this fall.

Kansas has one of the most storied dynasties in college basketball. They've been nearly unbeatable in the past decade, especially at home, where it's common for them to go undefeated over the course of a year.
I was looking back at Iowa State's games against Kansas over the past 15-20 years. Most of them are not pretty. But a select few of them are, and they are some of my favorite games in Cyclone history.
I could list all the great games, but I won't spoil the fun. Please share your favorite memory from a game against Kansas.
I'll go first: Kantrail Horton hitting an ungodly long three-pointer he should not have taken (if you watched the game you'll remember what I'm talking about) in #14 Iowa State's 79-77 upset win of #5 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 5, 2001.
KU Basketball 2000-01: Iowa State at Kansas
(game stats)
That website lets you browse through a game-by-game history of ISU-KU match-ups. At one point, from 1999 to 2001, ISU won five games in a row (!) against Kansas. I don't know this for a fact but there is no way any other team has done that in the past two decades.
Personally I preferred Fizer's turn around jumper, or just generally Tinsley owning their pg.
Also Jacy's 3 which came out of nowhere.
Last year, Babb's 3 to clinch it. That was pretty awesome. Best basketball game I've ever been to easily. That factors into it
Stinson taking over in 2005 I think.
I know the least favorable moment, the ref's goof up and give Kansas a free 3 pointer!!!!
Fizer's turnaround jumper on the baseline at Kansas.
That or the FT incident in Ames
2001: Sullivan going off
Jake Sullivan's 3 pointer from the logo in 2001...
Sorry about the quality.

That shot was from way more than 25 feet

Every time we beat them. On a specific note, when we beat them in 2005 with Stinson. I love beating Kansas. I just went to their Scout board and most of them think we suck. One guy had us finishing 6-12. Hopefully my new favorite moment will be Wednesday January 9th.
Beating them with Fizer in Lawrence. First win there in 17 years and I was there!
I think it was 1988?
Beat Danny Manning's eventual national champions in Hilton. I could not hear by buddy who was screaming in my ear.

"panacur fenbendazole horse wormer paste"
Vet recommended rotation wormer. I have used this wormer in my rotation program for34 years. It works! All my horses look good and are healthy. That's what it is all about and the price is very reasonable.
"my equines love the flavr"
My animals prefer Panacur to Safeguard and that was a chalenging learning experience - so altthough a higher price; it is worth not having the dificulties described below. I also give them cinnamon hard candy as occasional treats. My difficult o wom mare literally wil take the Panacur ube to make sure she gets it all!
"Not Good"
I'm sure this wormer works well but my horse hated the taste! My horse will eat anything and is good with dewormer, but as soon as I started to dispense the paste into my horse's mouth she locked her mouth shut and would not open her mouth or chew on it like her and others horses do. When I finally got the paste in her mouth she looked at my like how dare you put this vile tasting paste in my mouth! I think it was the cinnamon because I have never given her a wormer with that flavor and had never had any problems. So even though it is probably a good product I will not make my horse suffer through the taste again.

In the words of Mr. Burns, "I [am] free to wallow in my own crapulence" and doing it.
Oh come on....stop with this bull****s....how's that gonna help you?
My very, very hot girl friend dates a guy who has visible hairloss...I assume that he'll be completely bald in 3-4 years.
If you ask her about his hairloss she will say that she doesn't give a damn. I'AM NOT making this up!
She was instantly attracted by his sense of humor and confidence. It's the first thing you notice about him. It attracted me too so now he is one of my best friends. He even has a beer belly.
Enjoy life.

Sometimes you get those brutally honest but totally shallow bitches that make you feel like ****. At least half the women that say "bald is sexy" are referring to men w/o MPB who shave it off because they follow it up with "you can always grow it back.". That chapped my hide so much that I wrote my own question on Yahoo Answers entitled, Ladies, I need to make this clear. From now on could you please refer to men with full heads of hair who CHOOSE to shave it off as just SHAVED and not bald? There is no such thing as bald by choice. BALD means you cannot grow hair on the top of your head. I am bald and I did not choose to be this way. When you say "Bald is sexy", I find it aggravating and misleading since I assume you are talking about guys without MPB as those are the kind of men you prefer anyway. O.K., thank you.

I want to see a picture of you slowburn as I'm sure your hairloss is minimum to undetectable, which would explain why you contest the perspectives of guys like HP and myself who are actually experiencing what it is really like to be bald in this society.
Lets face it, confidence will never frame your face properly....a girl can't run her fingers through your confidence.
Majority rules. Majority of women are not "attracted" by hairloss.
So the way for those most bothered by the negative opinions of the opposite sex is for people to delude themselves into pretending it isn't true?
Not all women are bothered no... But until "every" woman stops being so then nothings going to change.
Of course hairloss doesn't really matter... When compared with serious things, it barely whispers an importance. But people don't wake up and suddenly realize this... they realize it when they are 70 years old, when their formative years have passed and it's much too late to do anything about it.
Fair attempt though, although I'm unconvinced you yourself didn't get more out of this then anyone else.

We recently upgraded from 5.0.18 to 6.0.4. After the upgrade, we noticed that convertd isn't running on all of our mail servers. I think this can be traced to one of the features of 6.0 which sees to be that you only need to have convertd installed on one server (in a multi-server environment).
We actually have convertd installed on all 5 of our mailstores, and it is enabled and running on 2 of the 5:
$ zmprov gas convertd
I see that 'zimbraConvertdURL' is set properly to one of those two servers:
$ zmprov gacf | grep -i convertd
zimbraComponentAvailable: convertd
zimbraConvertdURL: http://server5.wiu.edu:7047/convert
However, if a user attempts to preview a document from a mailserver that isn't running convertd, they get the following error:
HTML Conversion Error
service temporarily unavailable
If I manually start convertd on the other servers, the error goes away, but reading bugzilla entries on convertd makes me think that we shouldn't have to. (I may be wrong, though).
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but we also installed zimbra's web proxy when we upgraded from 5. to 6.0.4.
Any ideas out there?

Holy moley, this thing chugs RAM like beer.
The service uses over 170mb of RAM!
And the program itself, when open, over 200.
For just the service, that's an insane amount! Are there plans to bring that down?
Granted I have 2gb of RAM, but I'm running Vista, and this is only one of many things I have open..
On my laptop, can't run this thing, everything slows to a crawl because there's not enough memory
But whether the client is running or not, it's still using an insane amount.
I'm seeing it varying from at least 125, upto 210 (!!).
And if I disable the service, the client doesn't finish loading.

WASHINGTON (NBC) -- Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will not return in President Barack Obama's second term, the White House confirmed Wednesday.
Solis, formerly a California congresswoman, said she made the decision to step down from her role over the holiday season.
"Over the Christmas and New Year holidays with my family in California, I enjoyed my first opportunity in years to reflect on the past and my future, with an open mind and an open heart," she said in a statement. "After much discussion with family and close friends, I have decided to begin a new future, and return to the people and places I love and that have inspired and shaped my life."
Many Cabinet officials chose to stay on for only one presidential term.
In a statement, Obama called Solis "a tireless champion for working families."
"Over the last four years, Secretary Solis has been a critical member of my economic team as we have worked to recover from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and strengthen the economy for the middle class," he said. "Her efforts have helped train workers for the jobs of the future, protect workers' health and safety and put millions of Americans back to work."
The vacancy sets up the absence of yet another female member of Obama's cabinet. The administration has come under pressure to consider gender and racial diversity after recently appointing white men to top posts at the Defense, Treasury and State Departments.

To get ready for our family road trip,
so we (hopefully) won't end up with rainbow confetti all over my car!!
You can play a number of ways...
Pink and Green Mama,
Can't wait to make these. I have made them before using bird seed but the colored rice looks so cool.
You are a brilliant women and I love to read all the fun crafts you make on your blog. My boys are still a little too young for this craft, otherwise we'd make them in a snap. Maybe in a couple of years.
So cool! Do the girls have the same treasures?
The girls have ALMOST identical bottles, there were a few "treasures" we only had one of so they are spread out evenly. I put "C" beads and "E" beads in their respective bottles.
you did a fabulous job on these!! SO great! Love the rainbow twist on these!
cute. cute and cute.
These look fabulous! We must be on the same wavelength because we came sooooo close to making one of these today too! Rainbow rice looks like so much fun!
Thank you so much for commenting on my post! Happy 11 years to you both:)
I'm so glad you commented because I've never been to your site before, and I love it!!! My 3yo loves Eye Spy so this would be a perfect project for her. I can't wait to look through the rest:)
Those are fantastic eye spy bottles! I've been meaning to make one for a while and you've given me some great ideas, thanks :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Wow! You have some wonderful ideas! I would love for you to possibly be a guest blogger on any Tuesday-Two Little Monkeys Craft Day!
I can not wait to read your blog!
Your girls are precious!
The rainbow rice is such a nice touch! Love how you involved the kids in making their own bottles. I hope you have a fun trip!
This is fantastic! I've never seen a rainbow one before. Thank you for the idea! :)
What an awesome idea! Thanks for the step by step instruction. I need that! :)
you are ONE crafty mama,, my friend! love it!
I love that there are different activites to go with these beautiful eye spy bottles and I'm sure your children will also come up with other ways to use them as well.
In regards to your previous post, we love ziplock bags for crafting. We made some ziplock bag animals and we also made a mobile as part of our decorations to celebrate Australia Day. Both of these crafts are featured on my blog in the Toddler Triumphs section.
This is such a cool idea! I just love seeing all the new things you come up with.
What a great idea! Hope you had a great road trip!
I've made the bottles with rice before, but never came up with a good way to have the preschooler have a "list" of the items in it. That's a great idea!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I haven't tried this game because they're a bit price-y in the stores - don't know why it didn't occur to me to make it!
We also don't have the DVD in the car - we have a new car and I had to try to find a minivan without one. I chose it without on purpose, there's enough tv in the world. Plus, once they know it's in the car they'll always ask for it!
I just love the rainbow discovery bottles!! So neat and what a great thing to keep the kiddos busy in the car! :)
Love this idea! Posting a link to your article on my blog.
I am the least creative person I know but this is amazing!! I have got to do this with my boys... who LOVE Eye Spy stuff!!
Also adding your blog to my blog roll!! So creative!!
this is such a fantastic idea!
This is such a cool idea! We bought the game Find It! and my kids love it...but I need something new - a little variety - and this is it! Thanks.
Holly @ 504 Main
Thanks so much for the idea! Saw this last night and made one today!
My 11 year old girl, 7 year old girl and 6 year old boy all loved it. Who knew all those birthday cake trinkets would come in handy when the kids saved them. Plus everything I've taken away from them so the baby couldn't put it in his mouth is now a new toy.
I'm there with you...I refuse to get a DVD player for my car! Good ol fashioned car games are great fun! I will be making this for my kids.
FANTASTIC! I found your tutorial on rainbow rice last week and made some. Turned out beautifully! I didn't even see your post on the Eye-Spy bottles...that's exactly what we did with ours as a group!I posted it and gave credit your way! You are also one of my new found favorite blogs...totally got sucked in! Thanks for all the great ideas and inspiration!
What an awesome craft! My kids have seen these but I haven't wanted to spend the $$ to buy them. I love the idea of color cards for prereaders too! My family recently returned from a mega-road trip... 11 states in 7 days, and we don't have videos in our car either. (I don't mind that!) We did a lot of reading, car games, and my son learned how to play with his leapster. I wish I had some of these to hand them at times!
Ever since I saw this on Modern Parents Messy Kids, I've been collecting little treasures. I adore this idea. The rainbow rice just pushes this over the edge. I'll be sure to share once I've completed the project.
This is AWESOME. I love those things! Never thought about making one, but it looks so easy! Thank you. :)
This is GREAT! My son and his family just moved to Alaska... they have a lot of driving to get anywhere. I'm going to make one of these for my granddaughter! I just love your site! Have subscribed and can't wait to look back thru all of your projects! Thanks!
I love this idea!!! MY son's too old for this now(12), but this would make a great idea for church or vacation bible school!
Hi MaryLea
I absolutely love your Rainbow Eye-Spy bottle and have linked back to it here:
Take care,
I'm wondering where you can buy the rainbow rice? I live in a rural area, and don't believe I have seen any in the grocery stores around here.
Hi Mandy!
We make our own rainbow rice and you can too, you'll just need some white rice, food coloring and rubbing alcohol or liquid hand sanitizer. : )
The instructions and tutorial can be found on my blog in older posts under a key word search for "rainbow rice" or click on the words "rainbow rice" in the post above for the link! Have fun!
MaryLea (pink and green mama)
Thank you so much for this great idea!! My kids are going to love this for the long trips we take to the states. I have included this in my weekly roundup of useful blogs at www.doomestic.com Thanks again!!

Did you know that the human sense of smell can identify thousands of aromas and is 10,000 times more precise than our sense of taste?
We have millions of smell receptors in our noses. When they detect a scent, they shoot the information to the olfactory bulb—a pea-size cluster in the brain, which sorts the signals and relays them to the limbic system. This primitive part of the brain governs many memories and emotions; some of our most basic behaviors—feeding, fighting, or fleeing; as well as sexual arousal, pleasure, and maybe even addiction. Because of their close proximity, the neurological controls for these behaviors often become entangled. That's why, for instance, during the early stages of attraction, dinner is often a prelude to sex.
It also explains how odor can help lower stress levels, improve mental and physical performance, ease pain, end insomnia, and even help us lose weight, research shows. Here's how to use your sense of smell to your advantage.


text: I am trying to narrow down which of these units to spend most of my time hunting in. By looking at some maps it looks like unit 73 has a ton of blm land in it that should hold some antelope. I have some topo maps ordered already, that should be better to look at. In the mean time can anyone tell me about some places to camp/or hotels to stay at nearby? Or anything that they know about the area?
