Im an active instructor and got this for the long cold nights in the pool. First, the good: the heater pack does get warm, and stays that way for about 45 minutes. Its rechargeable, which is very nice. The neoprene belt also adds some insulation on its own. The bad: it doesnt get super hot. Id say its a marginal improvement, but not going to turn a 3mm into a 5mm, but it will extend your bottom time some. It is practically impossible to activate this through a wetsuit. You really need to pinch the activator from both sides. So you cant wait till you get cold and punch it for a wash of warmth. To recharge the heater pack, you need to boil it for AT LEAST 15 minutes. Otherwise, it will not reverse the activator, and will continue the chemical reaction leaving it discharged. Your goal is for as much as possible of it to end up in a liquid state.

Im an active instructor and was looking for a reel to use for teaching nav and wreck penetration. This is certainly not of Dive Rite or Hollis quality, but it is perfectly fine for navigation. I would be hesitant to use it for deep wreck penetration, but its fine for basics and teaching. First thing to do is lay it out and mark every 5ft, with a different color, mark 15ft, 50ft and 100ft. Just remember, wrapping it around the wreck shortens the measured distance.

Switching to a wireless air integrated computer meant no more console gauge, so I needed a simple compass for teaching (scuba instructor) and personal use. This one did the trick. Its nothing fancy, but solid and functional. Its a little slow to spin and lock on to a bearing, so be patient. Rather than "built in" retractor, think of it as a "built onto" a fairly large retractor, so its not exactly low profile, but the ability to lock the retractor is nice for keeping it close when not in use.

The pouch is perfect for BCD pockets, The included line is weak and must be replaced. The cheap reel would probably be a good idea. The way to the bottom helps keep it upright but is not enough. With enough tension to keep it up right, you only get about 2 feet of vertical visibility. Overalll a good value for the money, But if you want a better one get one at least 6ft. long.

This is very much a no-frills bouy. multiple connection points on the bottom are convenient for spear-fishermen, but otherwise useless for divers. Be sure to tie the rope to the front most point. The second inflation pocket on the bottom is designed to be filled with water to give proper bouyance and keep it upright, but I found that too difficult. I just tied a lead fishing weight to the center bottom. The plug for the main air compartment did come unplugged several times and I really had to jam it in there to get it to hold. You definitely want to get some sort of reel for the string or else it will get tangled.

[Note: if you are seeking confirmation of what you believe is a recent discovery, please do not use the contact link on this page -- go to this page on reporting potential discoveries instead. For general inquiries, please use our Contact form and select "General Observing" as the subject. Thank you!]
AAVSO Observing Campaigns are special projects concentrating on one star or a number of stars for a given researcher and for a specific research program. Campaigns are designed to obtain a specific set of data or fulfill a specific research objective, and should be (a) within the capabilities of a significant number of AAVSO observers, and (b) last for a finite length of time.
The AAVSO will issue a call for observations at its discretion, but any well-justified program is eligible for AAVSO support. If you have questions about establishing an AAVSO Observing Campaign, or if you believe your research program would benefit from the participation of the AAVSO observer community, please contact the AAVSO Campaign Coordinator. The AAVSO can assist with campaigns beyond announcing them; if your project requires substantial assistance of AAVSO staff, we may request grant support for staff activities. Also, please consider becoming a member if you are not one already!
[Note: if you are inquiring about establishing your own personal observing program, about observations in general, or in learning more about the AAVSO and its data, please use our general Contact form.]
For Observers: Please read the requests for observations in full, and use your own best judgement as to whether your equipment and abilities are well-matched to the specific project. When in doubt please contact the researcher directly, or contact AAVSO HQ for guidance and recommendations. If you are an instrumental observer, we strongly recommend that you calibrate your data and transform all photometry to a standard system! For some projects this will be required, but it is good practice in general.
Please visit our observer resources page to find our Visual and CCD observing manuals, guides to photometry, and other tools to help you assess whether a campaign is a good match for you!
For Researchers: Any research effort requires focused and enthusiastic leadership, and the leader of the observing campaign should be you, the researcher. The more you interact with the observer community, the more likely it is that you will attract observers and obtain good data. Ideally, the AAVSO's role is merely to issue a call for observations, establish communications between you and the observers, and coordinate the collection of data; your role should be to motivate and encourage observers who participate in your work, analyze the data, and publish the results. It is required that the work of observers be properly recognized; if any individual observers contribute data that are critically important to the research, we strongly encourage you to offer coauthorship to the observers on any resulting papers.
Please visit our Research portal to find more information about how the AAVSO and its observers can aid you in your research.

ACT preliminary data indicates strong February Class 8 net orders
March 02, 2011
Net orders for heavy-duty Class 8 commercial vehicles continue to maintain a strong growth rate, according to data from ACT Research, a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
In a preliminary reading of net orders for February, ACT reported that there were 24,300 units ordered in February, which is 3,000 less than January, which came in at 27,300 units and was up 320 percent from January 2010.
"The industry is continuing in 2011 where it left off in 2010," said Steve Tam, VP commercial vehicle sector for ACT, in a statement. "The strength in orders continues to restock industry backlogs and fuel increasing build as the industry moves through the year."
This growth follows a 2010 which finished with a strong fourth quarter, with ACT officials noting that the uptick in orders continues to restock industry backlogs, setting the stage for significant production increases into 2011.
One primary reason for such a significant annual gain is because January 2010 was when the Environmental Protection Agency's 2010 mandate for implementing federal emissions standards in heavy duty trucks. Trucks manufactured in January 2010 and beyond cost on average $8,000-to-$10,000 more than before these efforts went live. This resulted in a mini pre-buy towards the end of 2009, and in early 2010 there were not a lot of Class 8 truck purchases occurring.
In a recent interview with LM, ACT President and Senior Analyst Kenny Vieth said that truckers continue to universally say that they are not adding capacity. But he pointed out that there is a difference between adding capacity and getting capital expenditures back to where it needs to be.
"Generally, truckers have been at below maintenance level capex for the past two or three years," said Vieth. "Ultimately, it is payback time, as trucks need to be replaced. In addition to the domestic side of the story, the order activity is broad-based, with all of the OEMs participating in all of the North American geographies and not just the U.S. Canada and Mexico are strong right now, as are non-NAFTA markets that are ordering trucks like crazy. It is broad-based, and we are seeing the same thing in the trailer market, with U.S. trailer orders being very robust over the past few months."
Another factor influencing an increase in orders are increased freight volumes, coupled with truckers being profitable, and what Vieth described as the easing of credit conditions. And fleets are aging coupled with capex being neglected for a few years, which Vieth said has led to truckers having confidence that the recovery may be here to stay. He also said there is a belief that truckers can make capex investments without having to deal with another recession six months down the road.

WHEELING - Wheeling Park's Richard Cummings could be a case study in patience and perseverance.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Ryan Reinbeau (1) grabs a rebound in front of John Marshall's Tanner Filben (10).
At the beginning of the year Cummings was strictly a junior varsity player, which, for a sophomore at the Class AAA level, isn't surprising.
Cummings, however, had loftier goals in mind and his play at the JV level, along with his patience and perseverance, has paid off.
Cummings had a career-best eight points, and was a couple of missed free throws from his first career double-figure game, in the Patriots 82-38 victory against struggling John Marshall Tuesday night at Wheeling Park.
His play over the last two games (14 points) has helped Cummings go from watching the varsity game in Wheeling Park warmups to what could be a significant role coming down the stretch.
With Toddy Goodwin-Rowe out with the flu, and the teams lone senior, Luke Saseen celebrating Senior Night in warmups after season-ending shoulder surgery, Cummings got more run against the Monarchs and he made the most of it.
"Richard is earning himself more minutes," coach Michael Jebbia said. "Let's face it. On this (Class AAA) level you are going to need at least eight guys. From what he has done in the last two games, I think he has earned a chance to be that eighth guy."
Everything else you need to know about the game can be summed up in two sequences: The beginning of the first half and the beginning of the second half.
Park started the game with a 16-0 run and the second half with a 13-0 run.
Everything around those two quick starts amounted to a 51-38 game.
For Park, it was all about keeping focus, and the Patriots did just that.
"We challenged the kids to have three or fewer turnovers in the second half and we had zero," Jebbia said. "If this game had been played two months ago we would have been sloppy with the ball. That showed that we kept our focus. Moving ahead, that is a good sign."
Park (13-5) had just three turnovers in the game.
Ryan Reinbeau led Park with 25 points and eight rebounds and Phillip Bledsoe had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and, more importantly, seemed to find some confidence with his mid-range jump shot. Elijah Bell, in his second career-start, had 12 points, five assists and five steals.
"Solid effort all the way around," Jebbia said. "With Toddy out, we got to see a little bit more from some guys and that was a positive. We're hoping Toddy is able to play some for us (at Brooke Wednesday). We saw some good things tonight. Savion (Johnson, who finished with eight) played well and Trenton Smith did a good job running the team (and finished with six points and seven assists)."
For John Marshall, a team struggling to find positives, coach Bill Storm saw some good.
Down 20-5 after one, he went to his younger players and they responded with 16 points.
"It was a total mismatch. We're basically a junior varsity team playing a varsity schedule," Storm said. "In the second quarter, I went with my JV kids and I thought they did a pretty good job against a very strong, very athletic team and held their own. We just don't have enough talent right now to compete with a Park."
Tanner Filben, who is going to Kentucky on a full academic scholarship next fall, had a big game for the Monarchs, with 17 points, including five 3 pointers.
"He is a kid who gets out every ounce of ability he has," Storm said. "He works hard, and he is one kid who has improved his game because he works so hard.
"We have to keep pushing on, and get ready for Senior Night (Thursday, vs. Oak Glen) and try to send those guys out on a high note."

It is incorrect by quite a few miles, and in my location that puts you way out in the cornfields somewhere. It would be nice if it would default to the center of the town...or even better, would default to the center of our college campus. Can I change that somewhere?

Heavy-duty tech oriented features in a jacket style BC
High lift capacity (up to 28 ltr. - size XL) and minimum drag when deflated with patented BioFlex® bladder
New QLR3 Integrated Weight System accommodates up to 12 kg plus dual 5 kg rear weight pouches for improved in-water positioning
Pre-bent welded stainless steel d-rings
Integrated instrument retractor mount grommet inside each zippered pocket (retractor not included) and Spinner Knife mounting grommets. Optional Air XS 2 Alternate Inflator and Spinner Knife are available accessories.
2 oversized zippered main pockets
Reflective accents
Patented adjustable depth compensating cummerbund
Patented BioFlex® Super-Stretch Air Cell
Your equipment should enhance, not hinder the joy and exhilaration of diving. Nowhere is this more important than with BC's, where comfort and freedom of movement must be balanced against function and durability. Responding to this challenge led Oceanic design engineers to create BioFlex - a unique 'living fabric' that stretches, flexes and conforms to the body. BioFlex is an extraordinary fabric, which stretches, fully inflated up to 30% over conventional nylon or polyurethane BC materials. The idea being that if a material could stretch while remaining airtight, you could make smaller air cells, creating less bulk and drag underwater while achieving high volumes of lift when required. BioFlex eliminates chest squeeze, conforms to the diver's body and provides a slim, body hugging profile.
New Patented QLR 3(Quick Lock & Release) Weight Integration System
Oceanic's patented QLR Quick Lock & Release System is standard equipment on the Probe HLC. Your weights stay in position throughout the dive and do not shift around affecting buoyancy or position in the water. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release. Best of all, our patented 'positive-lock' system helps to ensure that they'll stay put.
Rear 'Trim' Weight Pockets
Located on the back of the BC on either side of the tank cradle. Provides greater integrated weight capacity and better attitude underwater. Carries up to 5 kg non-dumpable
Fadeless 1600 Denier Ballistic Nylon Construction
Exterior abrasion points of the Probe HLC are covered in our new 'Fadeless' 1600-denier ballistic nylon - tough stuff that will hold up to years of extreme diving and keep that 'new look' longer.
Pre-Bent Stainless Steel D-rings
Welded and slightly bent for easy, one-handed attachment.
Adjustable Position Sternum Strap
Allows for a comfortable and safe fit.
Optional Integrated Retractor System
Built-in retractor attachment point - perfect for streamlining gauges, lights and other essentials.
Spinner Knife Mounting Grommets
Located just above both the left and right pockets, a pair of stainless steel grommets keep our SPINNER BC KNIFE out of the way but just where you want it.
Reliant Integrated Inflator
Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Reliant Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents.
Patented Depth-Compensating Adjustable Cummerbund
Oceanic's patented depth compensating cummerbund is manufactured from a unique woven elastic material that eliminates the need to readjust as your suit compresses at depth. Oceanic's cummerbund offers up to 20 cm of adjustment to fit a wide range of sizes. For additional customization, the cummerbund may be easily changed with another size.
Padded Backpack and Lumbar Support
Extra heavy duty padding provides comfort both above and below the surface without having to sacrifice the stability of a hard backpack.
Large Main Zippered Pockets
Zippered so they're easy to get into. Enough room to store your light, extra mask, Pocket Snorkel, slates, and more!
Optional Air XS 2 Alternate Inflator
The new AIR XS combines the reliability, performance and durability of the SlimLine OCTOPUS and Reliant INFLATOR into one very low profile, streamlined package. The regulator/inflator combination is as small as many BC inflators alone, with breathing performance superior to many stand-alone octopus regulators.
The AIR XS can be added to any existing Oceanic BC or may be purchased already installed on a new Oceanic BC for additional savings.

RICHMOND (WUSA) -- Virginia Department of Taxation officials say scammers are targeting people with the new Virginia Tax Refund Debit Card.
According to officials, scammers call the card holders and tell them their Way2Go prepaid Mastercard is locked for security reasons. Then the automated caller tries to get the victim to give them personal information.
The Department Of Taxation does not use automated calls or ask for personal information over the phone. Officials ask anyone that gets a call like the one described to hang up.
If you have any questions about the scam or the card, call 804-367-8031.

We are committed to reducing carbon emissions across the entire Nespresso business, from the cherry to the cup and beyond.
We are committed to reducing carbon emissions across the entire Nespresso business, from the cherry to the cup and beyond.
We are also optimising our overall environmental footprint by improving the sustainability of our operations.Since 2005, we have used a process called life cycle assessment (LCA) to understand our environmental footprint. Today, in addition to our own in-house assessments, LCA studies are conducted by specialist environmental consultants Quantis. These studies provide us with insights into five key environmental impacts: climate change, water use, biodiversity, energy consumption and human health.
LCA is a valuable tool in making decisions about how to best optimise our environmental footprint. It allows us to understand how we generate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. And it helps us understand how best to reduce our carbon footprint within every aspect of our business, from the cherry to the cup, without creating negative environmental impacts elsewhere.
In 2011 Quantis conducted a new LCA study, which shows that among all options assessed to make an espresso coffee in a Nespresso machine, the Nespresso aluminium capsule that is recycled after use is the option with the lowest environmental impacts. To find out more click here.
Since 2009, Nespresso has reduced the carbon footprint of a cup of coffee by 20%.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Redirected from Franklin Roosevelt
this wiki
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, (also known as 'FDR'), was a 20th century Human who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945, longer than any president in history.
After Jonathan Archer restored a damaged timeline, Franklin D. Roosevelt giving a speech could be seen in the time stream as the timeline realigned itself. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
In an alternate timeline, Leonard McCoy saved Edith Keeler from a traffic accident, allowing her to continue striving for her goals of peace and eventually founding one of the largest peace movements in the United States of America. Her actions finally attracted the attention of President Roosevelt, with whom she met on February 23, 1936, to confer on her plan of action for assisting the needy. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
In a holoprogram set in 1944 France, a picture of Roosevelt adorned the tent of Captain Miller. (VOY: "The Killing Game") One also adorned the office of Dixon Hill's secretary, Madeline (TNG: "The Big Goodbye"), and later Dixon Hill's own office. (TNG: "Manhunt", "Clues")
A headline from a 1941 edition of the San Francisco Herald read "Hitler on the move", followed with the subheading that stated "Roosevelt presses Congress for British aid." (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")

Nipsey Hussle recently spoke with Droz Daily Steezin to address everything from when listeners can expect new music to branding. During the interview, he spoke on rumors that he signed to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, stating that while he's been in the studio several times with Ross and Meek Mill, he is still building his own movement.
"Ross and Meek, I've been in the studio a couple times with both of them. When it's going to come out, ain't no telling. It might not, it might end up on one of the projects," he said. "It's just getting the vibe up and breaking the ice and get a few records knocked out with artists you fuck with."
As for signing with MMG, Nipsey says he's focusing on his own ventures, which include a recent partnership with DJ Skee in an attempt to "change the music industry." "About me signing, we still grinding, we still building. That's the biggest name in the game right there. They grindin', they killin' shit. I'm just trying to keep building my situation right now. In the future, you'll see what goes on. Right now, we still just building."

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- A historic milestone in Maryland.
The Free State issued its first same-sex marriage licenses.
They may have their license now, but gay couples cannot legally marry until 12:01 on New Year's Day. That may have helped keep the crowds away.
But those that turned up were fired up."So excited, said Karen Kroening of Potomac. "Can't believe this day is here. Can't believe it. Been waiting for a long time."
Kroening and her partner of 29 years were just the second same-sex couple to receive a marriage license at the Montgomery County Circuit Courthouse. "We could have gone to DC," said Kroening, "but we didn't feel it was right or legal. We want to be married in Maryland. We cried the night. I don't know how many times we've cried in the last few weeks."
Montgomery clerk Lorretta Knight is among the first in Maryland to put together new marriage certificates. She's replaced "husband" and "wife" with "party one" and "party two."
Some rules will remain the same -- like the prohibition on throwing rice in the courthouse -- but the clerk already has her first same-sex ceremony booked for the wedding room after New Years Day. She's ready to add the names to the registries that go back decades. "Before I used to say husband and wife. Now I say, by the authority vested in me as clerk of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, I now pronounce you as married."
The state attorney general ruled that as soon as the governor certified Thursday morning that same sex marriage had been approved by the voters, clerks could start issuing licenses for weddings as soon as January 1.
But it was far quieter in Maryland than it was in Washington State, where voters last month also approved same sex marriage and couples lined up -- and held big celebrations when they got their licenses.
In Rockville, Kroening's partner asked that we not name her, nor photograph her face. She still fears fallout. "There's prejudice," said Kroening. "People don't believe in who we are or where we stand. Unfortunately, they don't want this to happen. But the people of Maryland have spoken, and we're going to be like everyone else."
Unlike Montgomery, Prince George's County is planning to issue one license for heterosexual couples and another for same-sex couples.
They're still trying to re-program the computer and won't be ready until next week.

To the editor:
A wise man once wrote, �A majority is one man with the courage of his convictions.� How true! Thus, I consider many other Americans as well as myself �a majority of one.� Mathematically speaking how can that be? It isn�t math; it comes from the human soul. Today, it is as prevalent as it has ever been in our nation because the United States of America is in trouble.
Trouble? What kind of trouble? Our nation owes other nations more than $5.5. trillion of our $16.5 trillion national debt � money we have recklessly borrowed to pay our bills. Interest is accruing on the entire debt at close to the speed of light. Even in elementary school we were taught years ago that our nation lends money to other countries and that we do not owe a dime to any other nation. Today we are essentially bankrupt.
To paraphrase what was announced one evening just a couple of decades ago �Today the United States of America has gone from a creditor nation to a debtor nation.� What caused that to occur on that particular day? Who approved this inept decision that we now must borrow money just to keep our bloated federal government running?
Did not anyone, including those who signed off on this road to destruction, realize what they had done and what would occur next if this borrowing of money was not stopped? Why couldn�t these lawmakers come to an agreement to stop, immediately, the mistake which was made, reassess our internal financial situation, be resolute and swear not to borrow another dime from any other nation just to pay our own bills? It could have been cut off at the knees relatively quickly; so why wasn�t it?
Could not those who initiated the insanity have realized that the further this train got down the wrong track, the harder it would be to stop it? Apparently not, as there seemed to be no engineer aboard this runaway train. No one took responsibility and no one vehemently proposed that we stop borrowing money immediately. It is absolutely pathetic that our elected officials, since that broadcast, continue this self-destructive policy.
It was also once said that �No one single snowflake ever takes any responsibility for the avalanche of which it is a part.� Remind us of anyone? Today, we fiscally cannot stop the borrowing of foreign money to pay our bills. We are digging the hole even deeper; yet those doing the digging just live in denial.
What is more nauseating is that we are still borrowing money just to pay some, not all, of the interest on that $16 trillion-plus debt. Now all of the interest on this borrowed money adds to the debt�s principal and accrues interest. Yet, it seems none of our lawmakers are interested.
Page 2 of 2 - They are all, with a few exception, supposedly educated, college graduates � many with advanced degrees. Most were financially well off even before being elected.
So who repays this debt? If you are reading this, you do � as well as your children and grandchildren whose tax rates will soar beyond our own galaxy to pay for a debt which they did not incur. How pathetic.

Just picked up a CVA optima v-2 muzzleloader.Never had inline before so never had the choice to use pellets.Looking to find a load to hunt whitetail in Iowa.Most shooting is in the 50-100yd range
Just picked up a CVA optima v-2 muzzleloader.Never had inline before so never had the choice to use pellets.Looking to find a load to hunt whitetail in Iowa.Most shooting is in the 50-100yd range
Good luck! What caliber? My son has a cva inline in .45 caliber his is sighted in for 100 yards with two 50 grain pellets, not sure off hand was brand of powder or bullets. I have a .50 cal Austin Halleck and prefer to load loose powder. I use the triple seven and have been happy with it. My inline is dead on at 150 yards with 110 grains of loose triple seven and 250 grain shock wave sabots from Thompson center. I would suggest the use of loose powder to really fine tune your new rifle. Only way to go in my opinion.
Don't mess with pellets! As Blaze said, loose powder will give you the best accuracy due to being able to more accurately measure your powder.
If it is legal where you hunt, go with Blackhorn 209 powder. You will be glad you did. Nothing is even close in performance. It's awesome powder. Minimal residue, so you won't need to swab between shots. My experience has been very consistent shot to shot velocities. Cleans up with normal centerfire rifle products, with products such Hoppe's 9.
I prefer loose powder too. only good thing about pellets is you dont spill powder all over when your trying to reload in a hurry lol. I think I can reload just as fast or faster with loose powder then pellets. I use 100 grains of 777 fffg in my knight. I always hear good things about the blackhorn 209 but I cant use it here in WA because I cant use a 209 primer here. I have noticed 777 burns alot cleaner with a 209 then a musket cap.
Another reason to think about not using pellets is the fact they do not fit snug against your barrel and the do not fit in your breach plug. There is a lot of void space to deal with this making it less consistent. An avid pellet user told me he uses them because ease of reloading, I rebutted just what mm said, your are pouring premeasured powder down a barrel vs placing pellets down a barrel, both are very fast.

You might search out a PS forum to see if there is a faq or something that might point you in the right direction. That or you can wait a few more minutes until a PS-er who has Gumby as a part of them comes along. (Just want to see if anyone else is old enough to remember the Gumby song).

Dear Editor:
Once again the Kiwanis Club reached out to senior citizens of the Kingston area. It was like old home week at the Coleman Catholic High School.
When I arrived, many stated with joy, "Hello, good to see you." I was glad to see so many of my friends from long ago. The older we get, the harder it is to get out and visit.
I do try to visit a few of the older ones, like my friend Lady K., 106, and Mary C., in her mid-90s. It gets very lonely when you have outlived your friends, or just don't get out very often.
Kiwaniians not only served a wonderful turkey dinner, but gave us an opportunity to make new friends. It was so good to share the meal and musical program. It is always delightful to sit and listen to the young voices.
The meal ended with the calling of numbers from tickets handed to each person. Many went home with a poinsettia, and others with a fruit basket.
It was like old home week. A big thank you to all the Kiwanians for their thoughtfulness and generosity.

Mark your calendars: Thursday, May 22 will be the date for an epic musical battle between a rocker and a comedian who are constantly mistaken for one another.
Will Ferrell, former "SNL" funnyman, and Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers have spent months traded good-natured jabs at one another and now the time has finally come for a showdown on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon."
Fallon announced plans for a drum-off on his show last night.
Smith tells Rolling Stone that he's "ready to take him (Ferrell) down," while the comedian admitted that there is "no amount of practice that would help me become a good drummer."
The drum-off will also help raise funds for charities Cancer for College and Little Kids Rock, through the sale of specially designed T-shirts and cowbells commemorating the drum-off. The T-shirt and cowbell are one sale now through the Cancer for College website.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) -- Tuesday, we spoke to Magruder High School Principal Leroy (Lee) Evans about the lack of heat at the school.
Currently, heat is not working in certain areas.
Evans told us, "I just sent out a request. We've had some issues and we've got some of them resolved."
According to the school's website, the school closed at 12:45 p.m. due to "weather conditions and the impact on our building."

Although their effects are easy to detect with the naked eye and to the touch, the regions of excessive oiliness and dryness commonly called combination skin are not caused completely by skin's top outer surface. The drying effects of the atmosphere and sunlight also dehydrate the area of developed skin contained underneath the thin outer layer of dead cells on the face.

Völkl's game improvement rocker design features an early rise in the tip combined with a softer tail section. Added to more models for 11/12, Progressive technology gives the intermediate to advanced skier the best of both worlds: ease of turn entry, smooth ride quality from the rockered tip, and easy comfortable turn exit thanks to the softer tail section. All these characteristics contribute to less fatigue, allowing the improving skier greater enjoyment.
01_PROGRESSive Flex
The cross-section of the ski tapers towards the tail - from thicker edges to a thinner center. This translates into a more flexible rear section of the ski, which is particularly beneficial at the end of a turn. The ski accelerates less aggressively out of turns and supports a neutral stance to help prevent the skier from sitting in the proverbial "back seat". The effect is less effort for better turns.
02_PROGRESSive Edge
A moderate upward curvature of the ski in its forward section means that the length of the edge can be varied. When the ski is only tilted to a shallow angle, a shorter section of the edge is in contact with the snow. On moderately fast turns where not much edge angulation is needed the relevant edges stay effectively shorter allowing the ski to turn more easily and have less stress on the skier. That edge "extends" automatically as the owner's skiing style becomes more advanced and more pressure is put on the edges in a turn. The ski then offers the stability required for more speed.

This week's cook, Kathy Nokleby, is not just sharing information about her family and some recipes; she is also sharing information about an affliction that affects many Americans: celiac disease.
Kathy and her husband, Brian, are both natives of Granite Falls, MN. They met in high school, have been married for 27 years and are the parents of three children: Breanna, 22; Landon, 18; and Chase, 16. The Noklebys moved to Humboldt 14 years ago. Kathy is an Alternative Healthcare Practitioner, which includes massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, supplemental care and detoxification. Brian is a territory sales manager. The family attends St. Mary's Catholic Church. A favorite or preferred menu is the Mediterranean Diet.
What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, which occurs when the body's immune system reacts abnormally to gluten and produces antibodies that attack its own tissue. This causes inflammation and damage to the lining of the small intestine, which reduces the body's ability to absorb nutrients, causing symptoms such as anemia, osteoporosis, weight loss or gain, painful abdominal bloating, diarrhea or constipation, depression, severe tiredness and skin conditions.
A blood test and biopsy can diagnose celiac disease, and a dietitian will advise on a strict gluten-free diet. Once foods containing gluten are removed from the diet, the damaged intestinal lining can recover and function properly; however, celiac disease is a lifelong condition, so you will need to restrict your diet permanently.
A wheat allergy or intolerance can cause varied symptoms including sinusitis, asthma, itchy and sore eyes, earache, headache, migraines, muscle pain, stomach cramps, skin rashes, canker sores, coughing, tiredness, depression, bloating and nausea. Diagnosis involves blood and skin tests, and an exclusion diet is usually recommended.
(Facts are taken from Gluten, Wheat, and Dairy Free Cookbook, 2011—Love Food is an imprint of Parragon Book LTD.)
Pecan Crusted Chicken
4 boneless chicken breast halves
or thighs
2 egg whites
2 teaspoon cornstarch or
arrowroot powder
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
Minced zest of 1 lemon
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Cut all fat off the chicken pieces. With a flat mallet, lightly pound the chicken inside a heavy plastic bag until it is about 1/2 inch thick. In a wide shallow bowl combine the egg whites, thickening powder and the lemon juice with a fork. In a second wide shallow dish combine the finely chopped pecans, salt, pepper and lemon zest.
Dip both sides of each chicken piece individually in the wet mixture and then coat with the dry mixture. Set on a rack. Finish all pieces. If the pecans don't adhere very well, heap the chicken pieces with more pecans. Let the chicken pieces dry for about 15 to 20 minutes. Heat the oil to medium-high and sauté the chicken on both sides until a golden color. Transfer to a baking pan and then into the oven. Roast the chicken in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until completely cooked through.
Smoked Salmon And Spinach Lasagna
10 ounce package gluten free
lasagna noodles, no boil, oven
5-6 ounces smoked salmon,
10 ounce package minced frozen
spinach, thawed
16 ounce package tofu, firm
1 cup chicken broth or
1-1/2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 packages shredded Italian
5-cheese mix or equivalent
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x9" baking dish with olive oil spray. Place the tofu in your food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add 1 cup broth and continue processing, until very smooth and "pourable." Season to taste. Squeeze the excess water from the spinach. Pour 1/4 of the tofu mixture in the baking pan. Add a layer of noodles. Pour 1/4 of the tofu mixture on the noodles and a layer of 1/2 the spinach and a layer of smoked salmon.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese and add another layer of noodles, 1/4 cup of tofu and the remaining spinach and salmon. Sprinkle with cheese; add another layer of noodles, the remaining tofu. Cover the pan with foil. Bake for 65 minutes or until bubbling and heated through. Remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Rice with Fresh Herbs
(simple and quick)
1 cup brown rice
3 cups chicken broth or

4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup basil, fresh, chopped
1 cup chives, fresh, snipped
1/4 cup parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated
lemon peel)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bring the chicken broth and turmeric to a boil. Meanwhile rinse the rice 3 times. Add to boiling broth, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until done, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well, if needed, then return to empty pan and dry over medium heat, stirring to keep from sticking. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, basil, chives, parsley, lemon zest and salt. Add the rice, toss to combine. Cover until serving time. Serve at room temperature.
Vegan and Gluten-Free
Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers
1 cup low-sodium gluten-free

6 medium green bell peppers,
tops cut off and hollowed
Thyme sprig for garnish,
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock, apple cider and fennel seed to boiling over medium-high heat. Add quinoa, cover and return to boiling. Simmer, covered, until all liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté celery, onions, apples, salt and black pepper in hot oil for 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
Combine quinoa and sautéed vegetables and fruit. Stir in cranberries, thyme, sage and, if desired, pecans. Spoon stuffing into bell peppers then stand upright in a baking dish.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until peppers are tender and stuffing is heated through. To serve, garnish with thyme sprig, if desired.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Before we get to the bad, there is some good. Some of the best deals we've seen since Black Friday are expected to drop overnight and I'll feature those right here for a major Ways 2 Save tomorrow.
You can also snag additional savings by following me on Twitter, CLICK HERE.
#1 Airfare
As if it wasn't already expensive enough! More changes and practices from the airline industry will bring price increases for the year ahead. Want a hot meal on a long-distance flight? You could soon be paying extra for that. On top of the increases we've already saw last year, airfare analyst and CEO of FareCompare.com, Rick Seaney, ticket prices will increase around 7%.
Although it has not officially been announced, many insiders expect increases to baggage fees, as well as onboard options and seat selection.
#2 Digital Cameras
You can blame the smartphone and smaller tablets equipped with cameras.
Fewer people are buying consumer-grade digital cameras, which means manufacturers are producing fewer cameras, leading to fewer discounts. In 2011, I was able to flag quality higher-end 14 MP cameras for $40 during the holidays. In 2012, the exact same cameras sold for $60 during the same sales period. Prices only go up from here. Expect a $20 to $30 price increase per unit.
#3 Steaks & Hamburgers
Enjoy those Omaha Steaks deals the second they drop! According to the most recent forecast from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, higher meat prices are due to an intense drought that plagued almost all farmlands across the U.S. this past year. This caused corn and other animal feed ingredients to skyrocket, passing the price increase along to consumers. Expect a price increase of around 4% per cut.
#4 Beer
Copper prices are on the rise, as part of a 2013 price increase flagged by freelance writer/consumer reporter Laura Heller. According to Heller, "it's copper's time to shine." That's due to a move by the SEC to approve a fund to trade the metal. The fund could lead to the diminished availability of the metal in the U.S., affecting equipment for brewing beer and distilling liquor.
#5 Smartphones
The push to get higher megapixel cameras into devices like smartphones and the ripple effect of a recent decision by T-Mobile will dramatically affect prices throughout the industry. Later this year, T-Mobile will push no-contract cell phone plans, but charge consumers full prices for their phones. This elimination of the mobile phone subsidy is being observed very closely by competing companies and analysts suggest this is a game-changer for us all. On something like a new iPhone that can be purchased for $199 when it's released on a two-year contract, customers would pay $600 instead. Even if installment plans are available, this is a major change for the average customer to wrap his or her head around.
#6 Desktops
You can blame portable computing. In 2010, I received close to 200 requests for desktop computers from Ways 2 Save viewers. In 2011, I received about half that number. Last year, I received a whopping 15 deal requests for desktops. The diminished demand is being felt even moreso by the companies that produce desktops. This year, fewer models will be produced from fewer companies, resulting in higher costs. Expect to pay $50 to $100 more per desktop.
#7 Laptops
In the same way desktops are affected by portable computers, laptops are influenced by hyper-portable, powerful tablets. Try and find someone who didn't have an iPad Mini on their wish list this past Christmas! With the Microsoft Surface now on the market offering Microsoft Office applications in an extremely sleek and portable presence, laptop demand will further drop this year. With less laptop competition, expect to pay up to $80 more per unit on mid-end laptop configurations.
#8 Shipping Costs
I noticed it when Amazon.com started launching categories of "add-on only" items. Despite the fact I already pay $79 per year for Amazon Prime (which also gets me the Amazon Video streaming service), items that I'd regularly be entitled to with free two-day shipping, now cannot be shipped unless a minimum order total is met. This is just a single example of price increases directly attributed to UPS and FedEX. Both shipping giants are increasing prices by up to 4.9% for 2013.
#9 TVs
Stream, stream, stream! The increased demand for streaming services has manufacturers like LG and Samsung scrambling to build Wi-Fi and Netflix/Hulu/Vudu-ready televisions. With the majority of the older LCD television stock depleted over the course of 2012, the current LED technology commands a higher price. Based on the sales numbers I've seen, consumers can expect to pay around $60 more per mid-end to high-end LED television.
#10 Cable Television
The number of people dumping their cable providers for services like Hulu and abandoning settop boxes for Roku and Apple TV will result in higher rates. As cable companies jump to cover their operating costs with fewer customers, rates are expected to increase, although this will vary by region and provider. Initially, package increase costs are not expecting to be more than $5 on average per customer.
#11 Satellite TV
The two biggest players in the satellite world, Direct TV and Dish Network, have significant rate hikes planned this year. In 10 days, some DISH customers will have their rates raised by as much as $15. DirecTV customers will see increases of around 5% across the board. You can blame the increase in programming costs affecting service providers.
#12 Cars
Every year, we see modest car price increases across the board, but this year, certain manufacturers are increasing prices by almost $1,400. CNN Money flagged the base price for a 2013 Lexus CT 200h up $3,000 this year and the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Sedan at $1,350 more. The nice thing about base price increases is that local dealerships always respond with better promotions and on the whole, I expect you to get more for your money when it comes to features this coming year.
#13 Tuition
It probably shouldn't surprise you to see tuition increases this year, as that's the case every year, but DealNews.com has paid particular attention to state school tuition increase, which weren't initially on my radar. According to their research, which they pulled from the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center, public 4-year colleges will increase tuition by 4.8% on average with an increase of 3.7% in fees. The almost 9% collective increase will affect students and their families across the country.
Despite the increases, there are some superb January purchases jam-packed with savings that can benefit the consumer all year. I'll feature those right here tomorrow on Ways 2 Save.

Everyday there is a new article about a new patent lawsuit being; whether, it is the latest salvo in the current smart phone war, or a "Patent Troll" looking for its next victim. The constitution defines patents and copyrights as:
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
However, rather than promoting progress patents have actually become a hindrance to progress. The computer and technology industry moves faster than any previous industry, what made sense as proprietary technology 10 years ago does not necessarily make sense today. Also the process for issuing patents needs much stricter rules ensuring that a patent is 100% unique , and that it adequately describes the technology. While these measures will not solve all the current problems it will certainly be a step in the right direction.
