The NYC Vendy Awards were held September 7, 2013, at the sprawling Industry City in Brooklyn, where over two dozen trucks competed for top street-food honors. Among the finalists—and drawing the longest lines—were Porchetta, The Cinnamon Snail, OddFellows and eat-my-dust Luke's Lobster, the People's Taste winner for its luscious lobster rolls. The event raised $100,000 for The Street Vendor Project, a nonprofit organization that celebrates the trucks' delicious contributions to the City and helps vendors learn about their legal rights and how to grow their businesses. This year's judges included meat purveyor Pat LaFrieda, Brooklyn Brewery's Garrett Oliver and food-loving model Elettra Wiedemann. To see how they voted, read on.

There's expert opinion that Wisconsin is doing the right thing to stop Chronic Wasting Disease.
A panel of seven UW Madison professors in the animal health and related fields say the best way to combat the deadly brain disease is to quickly eliminate it while it's confined to a small area.
The State Department of Natural Resources wants to kill all the deer in a 389-square-mile area around Mount Horeb. That's where three deer infected were found this past February. The panel also says the state should create a Chronic Wasting Disease Advisory Council.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Few teams have had the Indiana Pacers'
number at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season, but the Toronto Raptors haven't
had many problems there at all.
Rudy Gay's go-ahead jumper with 1.7 seconds remaining in overtime lifted the
Raptors to their second triumph in Indianapolis this season, a 100-98 victory
that ended the Pacers' 15-game home winning streak.
Gay finished with 23 points and DeMar DeRozan had 22 to help Toronto, which
dealt Indiana a 74-72 defeat at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Nov. 13, halt a
two-game skid. Amir Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas notched double-doubles in
the win, with Johnson amassing 14 points and 14 rebounds and Valanciunas
pulling down 13 boards in addition to 14 points.
Johnson also sent the game into extra time with a putback off a Gay miss an
eyelash before the final horn sounded in regulation.
The Central Division-leading Pacers suffered their first setback at home since
a 92-89 ousting by Denver on Dec. 7 despite a 30-point night out of David West
and a 26-point, 14-rebound performance from Paul George. Indiana also had a
season-high five-game overall win streak halted.

Cleansing is the first step to healthy skin. No matter which essential steps we may skip to save time, cleansing is perhaps the most critical. Topix Cleansers play a vital role in the quality of the skin. Topix Cleansers remove impurities such as dirt, excess sebum, makeup and other impurities that can build up on the skin to cause dullness, breakouts and irritation. Topix Cleansers come in a variety of formulations to meet the needs of different skin types and concerns. All Topix Cleansers are made with high quality ingredients that are designed to effectively dissolve and wash away impurities while minimizing irritation.
Topix Cleansers should be considered the first step in an effective skin care system and should always be followed up with an effective moisturizer to seal in vital hydration and prevent dryness. Many of the Topix Cleansers fall under a comprehensive Topix line. For best results, follow with treatment products and hydrators from the same line. Topix Cleansers make treatment products perform better by creating a clean slate, allowing active ingredients to penetrate and do their job. Without help from Topix Cleansers, treatments simply sit on a layer of dead cells and impurities.

The combination of highly effective, powerful ingredients and skin-soothing antioxidants gives you a cleanser that treats your skin issues while leaving your skin looking and feeling fresh. Find a Topix Cleanser that meets your skin-care needs, and add it to your daily beauty routine.

1929 Ford Tonneau Cover - The Cover-UpWritten by Chris Shelton on November 1, 2009 Stitch A Bikini For Your Favorite Gal
Tooling along taking in the bouquet of the landscape, the wind coursing through your hair, nothing beats a roadster for the full experience. But sometimes the experience can be just a little bit too...full. Like when the overnight cloudburst fills your car with water. Or when someone takes a criminal liking to something they just happened to see as they were checking out your car. Sometimes it helps to have just a little bit of protection.
As luck would have it, there's a solution as affordable as it is time-honored: the tonneau cover. Land-speed racers employed them as a means to improve a roadster's aerodynamics, but a tonneau serves an even greater functional purpose: it's a swatch of material that covers up tender bits. A bikini for your car, if you will.
But just because bikinis and tonneau covers look simple doesn't mean there's nothing to them. True, a tonneau cover is probably one of the most straight-forward trimming jobs out there, but they do require a few tricks. Paul Reichlin knows those tricks. What's more, he's willing to reveal them.
The tonneau he created for this '29 Ford is about as simple as it gets: it's two pieces of vinyl linked down the middle with a simple zipper, doubled and bound along the edges, and attached to the car by run-of-the-mill snaps. Leave it off for full exposure, attach the passenger side for partial shelter for solo runs, or zip it up for full cockpit protection.
Exceptions exist but Paul said he prefers one of two materials: Stayfast canvas or pinpoint-type vinyl. "A tonneau isn't much different from the top on a car and those are top-grade materials," he explained. "Some people like using upholstery vinyl because it stretches and is more forgiving, but that's not good. A tonneau made from stretchy material will flap. It will also stretch and collect water if it rains," he added. "Yeah, a tonneau made with a top material is a little harder to build, but it's worth it."
Given its simplicity, a tonneau cover is an ideal project for a novice trimmer. Given its functionality, it's pretty much a required accessory for any roadster that actually sees use.

Prior to our arrival, Paul installed snap bases in the body. Their placement isn't absolutely critical, but he noted to maintain consistent space between them and to install them at the apexes of corners.After 30-plus years trimming cars, Paul has found some neat tricks. One trick is called a Quick-Fit Pin Socket from a marine trimming supply outfit called Sailrite. It's a snap-positioning tool with a sharpened stud that pops on the snap base.Paul creates his templates from press-polished vinyl (Plastipane brand). It pierces easily over the pin sockets yet won't readily tear when stretched. Bear in mind that he'd trimmed the vinyl templating material prior to our arrival. Generally speaking he cuts the vinyl a few inches too long.Despite their convenience, Paul doesn't rely exclusively on the pin sockets. He marks some of the snap locations on the vinyl manually with a permanent marker, noting each centerline with a cross.As mentioned earlier, the vinyl template would ordinarily tail over the snaps by a few inches. Paul calculated that the tonneau would look best if it overlapped the snaps by about 3/4 inch. So he measured the same amount from the centerlines and trimmed the vinyl.The rear of the cockpit presented a bit of a challenge: there aren't enough snaps to reliably freehand the corner. So Paul used a drafter's tool called a spline curve. This particular one is an ACU-ARC Adjustable Ship's Curve, and similar ones are available at art supply stores.A single layer might tear at the edges, so Paul doubled-up around the perimeter with more topping material. He began by chalking a line 1 3/4 inches inboard the tonneau perimeter.Using the template as a guide, Paul transferred the vinyl's shape to vinyl. Even though the tonneau will split down the middle, he used a single sheet wide enough to cover the cockpit. At this point he disregarded the snap positions.
Then he trimmed the doubler flush with the top tonneau panel and bound the edges with vinyl binding tape.The tonneau splits down the middle, but before Paul cuts the vinyl in half he sews the zipper in from the backside. "Otherwise it's almost impossible to line up the two sides while sewing in the zipper."Once Paul sews in the zipper, he opens it and cuts the two panels apart. The overlapping tonneau panels conceal the zipper. He binds the cut edges with the same material he used on the perimeter. This photo illustrates the cutting, but he'd already bound the edges by the time we shot this photo.Paul used the template to establish the location of the snaps on either side of the zipper but only at the rear side of the tonneau.Since he does this every day he has the luxury of a Pres-N-Snap tool, but the conventional snap-setting punch and die work just fine.Since the vinyl template doesn't stretch the same as the final material, Paul couldn't rely exclusively on the snap locations marked on it. Instead, he stretched the material to his liking before skewering it on the snap pins. The snap pins include covers that prevent the pins from unintentionally skewering other things like elbows and bellies-a nice touch if you think about it.But not even the snap pins are 100 percent reliable. The tonneau eventually gets tight enough to not readily stretch over the pins. In those cases Paul pulls the material directly over the bare snaps and chalks the centerlines.With the tonneau adequately sized and stretched, it should lay wrinkle-free and sag less than an inch across the cockpit. Now all this one needs is a good drizzle to test its effectiveness.Plain snaps are fairly effective in shear but, for the best hold in highly-stressed areas like sharp corners, Paul used Lift-the-Dot fasteners. They consist of a post that attaches to the body and a socket that attaches to the fabric. They cling like aging trophy wives until you lift the post's head or "dot".

14-year-old saves young boy from attempted kidnapping by 18 y.o. homeless man claiming to be his dad
MONROE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) - The Monroe County Sheriff's Department is investigating the attempted kidnapping of a 7-year-old boy.
It happened between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday in the wooded lot south of the Kroger shopping plaza on South Monroe Street. However, the incident was not reported until almost 11:00 p.m.
Police say a group of boys were riding their bikes to a fast food restaurant in the area. However, the oldest boy in the group, a 14-year-old, broke off and went to a different restaurant.
When the 14-year-old broke off, an 18-year-old homeless man with ties to Monroe, Temperance and the Petersburg area met up with the younger group. He accompanied them to the restaurant and then, after eating, went with them toward the wooded lot.
As they rode, the 18-year-old suspect and the 7-year-old victim rode ahead of the other boys. Police say this was when the suspect grabbed the 7-year-old and attempted to pull him into the lot from the paved alley that they were riding on.
At this point the 14-year-old caught up with the younger boys and saw the 18-year-old suspect pulling the 7-year-old's arm. He ran to the aide of the 7-year-old, pushing the suspect.
The boys say the 18-year-old then claimed to be the 7-year-old's father.
Before anything else could happen, the group of boys ran from the scene. They later told their parents what had happened and police were notified.
An initial search failed to locate the suspect. However, he was found Sunday morning sleeping in a tent in the area and taken into custody for questioning. He is know being held in the Monroe County Jail on attempted kidnapping charges. His name has not been released.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at either (734) 240-7530 or (734) 240-7548.

So you didn't remember Boss's Day until you were already at the office? Don't worry; you've got gift-giving options galore and they're right in front of you.
Who couldn't use another coffee mug?
Whether it's from you – or that mystery mug that's been in the break room for 7 months – it's a gift that says "Hey, you like to drink liquids! Happy Boss's Day!"
A classy office plant
Don't have a plant on your desk? Bob in accounting does … and he'll never miss it.
Show your boss you're always prepared
Who says the third floor needs a First-Aid kit? We say your boss needs a lifetime supply of off-brand bandages and expired Tums.
Get crafty
Imagine the compliments your boss will get from some handmade "one of a kind" jewelry. Or a necktie! The possibilities are endless.
Decorate their office
Let your inner Martha Stewart shine by "decorating" with everyday office supplies. Paper box fort? Check. Coffee filter "flowers?" Duh! Paper chains hung over everything? Winning! And don't forget about paper hole-punch confetti – there are literally trash cans full of it!
Candy Crush
Does your boss like playing Candy Crush Saga? How about some actual candy from the receptionist's desk … no one will ever miss it.
Speaking of the receptionist
Did you know they have free magazines up there? Just saying.
Everyone loves a free lunch
Who says it has to be one you brought from home? Didn't Janet leave her leftovers in the fridge the other day?
Classy self portrait
Nothing says "You're a great boss!" like a Xerox self-portrait. Bonus points if its autographed in red pen.

Quick-stop meals worth traveling for
The Superdiners make special side-trips for these sandwiches, noodles, egg rolls and more
We ask the Superdiners to pick an eatery, at least three neighborhoods away from theirs, that's great for a quick food pit stop. (We told them to go no further than Los Angeles, Yuma, Ensenada and the ocean.)
If you ever happen to be traveling through Riverside off of the 91 make sure and stop for sandwiches at Backstreet Restaurant (3735 Nelson St. Riverside. 951-683-6650 or backstreetriverside.com) . A great hidden deli, the line is huge at noon so it's best to avoid the lunch crowd. The atmosphere is like being in someone's back yard and the sandwiches are addictive. — Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel
The ramen at Tsujita L.A. (2057 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles. 310-231-7373 or tsujita-la.com) is the best I've found outside of Japan. It's worth the drive to Los Angeles alone. Their char-siu tsukemen "dipping noodles" are intoxicatingly good. Also opt for the 60-hour tonkotsu pork broth. No disrespect, but there is just nothing like it in the San Diego. Elect for the hot water added to your broth at the end of the meal, and drink yourself into Elysium. Note: ramen service is only at lunch. For dinner go to Father's Office (3229 Helms Ave. Los Angeles. 310-736-2224 or fathersoffice.com) for a burger and a sour beer! — Andrew Spurgin, consulting chef and event architect, andrewspurgin.com
For me, North County is another country, so a restaurant has to really call me to make it worth the trip. That restaurant is Solace and the Moonlight Lounge (25 East E St. Encinitas. 760-753-2433 or eatatsolace.com) I love the urban industrial interior, the upscale comfort food, and the friendly, relaxed servers. For a coffee and a snack, it's Pannikin Coffee and Tea in Encinitas (510 North Coast Highway 101. 760-436-5824 or pannikincoffeeandtea.com) . It's an sensory experience that I adore — sitting outside sipping a strong brew, I soak up the sun, listen to the birds sing, and watch the train chug along. It's perfect. — Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo)
I LOVE the egg rolls they sell at A-Chau (4644 El Cajon Blvd. City Heights. 619-281-4066) they're so addictive you might eat four at one sitting. They're worth the 18.5-mile trek from my house. — Joanne Arellano, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner
There is this little spot in South Laguna Beach called Coyote Grill ( 31621 S. Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach. 949-499-4033 or coyotegrill.tv) that is so easy miss along the beautiful coastline. It has a small storefront, but once you enter, there is a gorgeous ocean view with an outdoor fireplace. They have a full bar with many margarita varieties and a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu full of Mexican favorites — mine being the zucchini enchiladas and local lobster. Quite a relaxing hour vacation! — Randee Stratton, real estate broker, avid diner
Pizzeria Mozza in Beverly Hills (641 North Highland Ave. Los Angeles. 323-297-0101 or pizzeriamozza.com) . I love their Bianca Pizza, but anything from there is absolutely delicious. — William Bradley, executive chef at Addison
Every time I drive past the "Beach Cities" exit off of I-5 in Orange County, I suffer a Pavlovian, spasmatic need to stop at Olamendi's Mexican Restaurant (34664 Pacific Coast Highway. Dana Point. 949-661-1005 or originalolamendis.com) . I love this little Mexican food joint that has been around forever. It has an ocean view and the best pescado al mojo de ajo that I have ever had (not a regular menu item). The restaurant is "over" decorated, to be kind, but that adds a lot of charm. There are plenty of great tequilas to choose from for your margarita, and they have recently started pouring a house branded tequila. — Dave Morgan, CPA, avid diner

The square root of half the number of a swarm of bees is gone to a shrub of jasmine; and so are eight-ninth of the whole swarm: a female is buzzing to one remaining male that is humming within a lotus flower in which he is confined, having been allured to it by its fragrance at night. Say, lovely woman, the number of bees.
If only all maths questions could be that poetic! We haven't made this one up, rather it comes from the twelfth-century book Lilavati ("The beautiful"), written by the Indian mathematician Bhaskara. According to legend, Bhaskara had a beautiful daughter whose horoscope predicted she was to remain unmarried and childless. Not wanting to do without grandchildren, Bhaskara decided to defy destiny and built a water clock to determine an "auspicious moment" at which his daughter was to get married. But the girl couldn't resist a peak at the clock — a pearl from her dress fell into it and clogged up the hole, so the auspicious moment could never come. To console her, Bhaskara wrote her a maths book (lucky girl!) and named it after her: Lilavati. It's a beautiful book which would make a great present for anyone who likes maths and history.
We came across Lilavati while writing our book Numericon, and it wasn't the only historical marvel we found. Other highlights were John Napier's 1614 book The description of the wonderful canon of logarithms and Claude Shannon's revolutionary 1948 paper A mathematical theory of communication, which laid the foundations for computers as we know them.

You know the scene… You're all tired and emotional from overindulging at Christmas lunch. It's still two hours til the Doctor Who Christmas special so you decide to play a game to while away the time. How would you like to ensure that you always beat your sister and annoying cousin Geoffrey? Dear readers, we present to you the Grime dice invented by our enigmatic friend James Grime.
These dice are special because although the green die is likely to beat the red die, the red to beat the yellow, the yellow to beat the blue and the blue to beat the purple, the purple die has its chance to shine in the Sun and tends to beat the green! If this sounds confusing, it works in a similar way to the familiar game rock-paper-scissors, or the slightly less well-known rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.This is because both games are non-transitive. You can read all about them in James' lovely article or watch his explanation below.

These days that question is easy to answer. If in doubt, pull out your smart phone and check your coordinates. But it's not so long ago that people died for not knowing where they were. Many ships got lost at sea, crashed into rocks or ran aground because sailors couldn't figure out their longitude.
The book Longitude by Dava Sobel tells the fascinating story of that tricky coordinate, why a prize was put on its head and how the puzzle was finally solved by means of a clock. This "true-life thriller" is one of our favourite popular science books ever!

Add 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper to the combined VELVEETA and milk before microwaving as directed.
Use prepackaged fresh broccoli florets to save time.
This broccoli and peppers team up in this colorful, low-calorie, low-fat main dish to provide both an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A.

Was pretty easy to make, I didn't have the peppers the night I cooked this recipe, so I used mixed vegetables! Very yummy.
Super easy to make! One of my favorites!
I really liked this dish and so did my husband. It had great flavor. I did change a few things. I used frozen broccoli instead of fresh. I just cooked it in the microwave and put it in after the squash and pepper were cooked. I used Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing to give the chicken more flavor and used at least 1/3 cup instead of 1/4. I also used whole grain noodles and low fat Velveeta. I think you could tell that it was low fat cheese, but I think the lower calories were worth it. I would make this again!

AUBURN, Maine (AP) - Police say a 22-year-old Auburn man accidentally shot himself in the hand while cleaning his handgun.
Sgt. Laurie Woodhead says the man was in his Newbury Street apartment at about 7:20 p.m. Sunday attempting to remove a bullet from the chamber of his .40 Glock.
Woodhead tells the Sun Journal the man was unaware his finger was positioned on the trigger and the gun discharged. The bullet entered his left palm and exited the side of his hand. The man's name was not disclosed by police.
He was taken to Central Maine Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
No charges will be filed.

My wife and I went sturgeon fishing for the first time in June. She caught the biggest fish and won't let me hear the end of it, ha ha.
Right On!! I'll be headed up to the Dalles on the Columbia at the end of the month to catch. We had a day last year where we caught 12 over 6 feet and could only fish with one rod or else have multiple hookups we were on the X hope it is that good again this year seems to usually peak around the third weekend in July for the big fish
Nice fish..What river were you fishing? We used to catch them in the Snake river..
Holy Hannah is right, nice fish! How does your wife not get those pretty red nails caught in the reel? Congrats on the fish and thanks for sharing.
Shoot STR8
We were in Cascade Lockes, Oregon on the Columbia River. I caught one about 6-7 feet long and my buddy caught two about that long. It was a great time and Oregon is a beautiful place. fatrooster.
That's awesome! I'm a sturgeon biologist working on the Platte and Missouri Rivers. Our sturgeon (shovelnose and pallid) are little guys compared to those! I'd love to get up to the Snake and catch a giant white sturgeon.
nice, I caught a sturgeon in the columbia a few years ago but it was only a 4 footer awesome fish though, reflex i did catch one in the missouri once in Oahe that was cool seein them, nothin like the big white's though

This week we remain in the Dreadlands, at the bridge outpost on the River Fearsome. The 60th Map of the Week is from the pending Jörðgarð (TM) campaign setting release "The Northwest."
Duke þráinn fears the other eight dark draugs a bit. He knows that some of them might unit to challenge him, and together, they might prove to be more powerful than he is. However, he doubts that such alliances ever will come to be. The light elves of neighboring Karelenland are another matter. The dark draug does not know how much danger there is that the Kareli might move against him one day, but if he does know that his remaining days will be short if the elves ever make him into their target. Even after centuries more of gaining new power, þráinn would be no match for the high elven magi, wizards and sorcerers.
Thus, he has a twofold reason for keeping the denizens of his duchy out of Karelenland. He does not want them to provoke the elves. He also doesn't want his humans who suffer under his tyranny to escape into the west. Their fear of the elves is a good preventative, but þráinn believes that his restricted zone and the soldiers that he has west of the Fearsome are a better preventative.
The restricted zone begins east of Treeherder's Shadow, at the point where the Fearsome changes its course from a westward flowing river into one that bends to southwest. From there, the river turns southward, flowing through Westgate into the Westsea.
þráinn maintains a large border fort in Treeherder's Shadow to prevent crossings into the Kareli lands. The human and orc warriors stationed there patrol the lands eastward from Treeherder's Shadow to the end of the restricted zone on the north bank of the Fearsome, and they also patrol the west bank of the Fearsome from the fort southward to the point where Osmowood's eaves come to the river, forming the Kareli border. From that point onward, the west bank of the Fearsome is taboo to the duke's host.
The River Fearsome Bridge is a small outpost maintained on the Fearsome at the crossing of the road from Nárgl's Mill to Treeherder's Shadow. There is a wooden drawbridge there on the west side of the Fearsome that always is kept up except when authorized soldiers cross from the east. The drawbridge spans half of the river.
The small outpost is manned by one human soldier (a sergeant in command) and six orc soldiers. They man it in 10-day shifts. Every 10 days, a new shift arrives to relieve the old one, coming with enough supplies to take care of their needs for the 10-day period. The guardpost has orders not to let any unauthorized persons or creatures cross the Fearsome.
There is a rowboat in the guardhouse. If travelers arrive on the east bank and claim to have a pass allowing them to cross, the sergeant on duty will send one of the orc warriors across in a rowboat to examine the pass. Such papers contain regularly changing codes that can be used to assure that such passes are not counterfeit.
You can get the map in two versions:

Too cute
"I love love love this clutch. I ordered this item online and received it in such a great packaging and was in wonderful condition. From now decided to buy my clutches online. I ordered the gold one and used it for a daytime wedding. It looked great, not too flashy just the right type for my personality. Can't wait to use it for a night time function and see how it looks. Oh the crystal stones embedded on the top hook are bit uneven but I am ok with it."

Two fierce competitors who've given their all, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney now yield center stage to voters Tuesday for an Election Day choice that will frame the contours of government and the nation for years to come.
After a grinding presidential campaign that packed suspense to the finish, Americans head into polling places in sleepy hollows, bustling cities and superstorm-ravaged beach towns deeply divided. All sides are awaiting, in particular, a verdict from the nine battleground states whose votes will determine which man can piece together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
Obama has more options for getting there. So Romney decided to make a late dash to Cleveland and Pittsburgh on Tuesday while running mate Paul Ryan threw in stops in Cleveland and Richmond, Va. Obama opted to make a dozen radio and satellite TV interviews from his hometown of Chicago to keep his closing arguments fresh in voters' minds.
"I feel optimistic but only cautiously optimistic," Obama said on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show." ''Because until people actually show up at the polls and cast their ballot, the rest of this stuff is all just speculation."
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, were among the first voters Tuesday in at a polling place in Greenville, Del., Biden's home state. Smiling broadly, Biden waited in line with the other voters and greeted them with a handshake.
Both sides cast the Election Day choice as one with far-reaching repercussions for a nation still recovering from the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression and at odds over how big a role government should play in solving the country's problems.
"It's a choice between two different visions for America," Obama declared in Madison, Wis., on Monday asking voters to let him complete work on the economic turnaround that began in his first term. "It's a choice between returning to the top-down policies that crashed our economy, or a future that's built on providing opportunity to everybody and growing a strong middle class."
Romney argued that Obama had his chance and blew it.
"The president thinks more government is the answer," he said in Sanford, Fla. "No, Mr. President, more jobs, that's the answer for America."
With both sides keeping up the onslaught of political ads in battleground states right into Election Day, on one thing, at least, there was broad agreement: "I am ready for it to be over," said nurse Jennifer Walker in Columbus, Ohio.
It wasn't just the presidency at stake Tuesday: Every House seat, a third of the Senate and 11 governorships were on the line, along with state ballot proposals on topics ranging from gay marriage and casino gambling to repealing the death penalty and legalizing marijuana. Democrats were defending their majority in the Senate, and Republicans doing likewise in the House, raising the prospect of continued partisan wrangling in the years ahead no matter who might be president.
If past elections are any guide, a small but significant percentage of voters won't decide which presidential candidate they're voting for until Tuesday. Four percent of voters reported making up their minds on Election Day in 2008, and the figure was 5 percent four years earlier, according to exit polls.
By contrast, Election Day came early for more than a third of Americans, who chose to cast ballots days or even weeks in advance.
An estimated 46 million ballots, or 35 percent of the 133 million expected to be cast, were projected to be early ballots, according to Michael McDonald, an early voting expert at George Mason University who tallies voting statistics for the United States Elections Project. None of those ballots were being counted until Tuesday.
The two candidates and their running mates, propelled by adrenalin, throat lozenges and a determination to look back with no regrets, stormed through eight battleground states and logged more than 6,000 flight miles Monday on their final full day of campaigning, a political marathon featuring urgency, humor and celebrity.
Obama's final campaign rally, Monday night in Des Moines, Iowa, was filled with nostalgia. A single tear streamed down Obama's face during his remarks, though it was hard to tell whether it was from emotion or the bitter cold.
Team Obama's closing lineup included Bruce Springsteen, rapper Jay-Z, singers Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin and John Mellencamp, the NBA's Derek Fisher and actors Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock. Springsteen, who hitched a ride aboard Air Force One for part of the day, even composed an anthem for the president, rhyming "Obama" with "pajamas."
"Not the best I've ever written," the rocker confessed.
Obama, making his last run for office at the still-young age of 51, was tickled to have Springsteen along as his traveling campaign, telling the crowd in Madison, "I get to fly around with him on the last day that I will ever campaign — so that's not a bad way to end things."
Team Romney's closing events offered a slimmer celebrity quotient, including Kid Rock and country rock performers The Marshall Tucker Band. But the GOP nominee didn't seem to mind.
After a warm welcome at a rally in Fairfax, Va., Romney, 65, told cheering supporters: "I'm looking around to see if we have the Beatles here or something to have brought you. But it looks like you came just for the campaign and I appreciate it."
Wife Ann Romney addressed the crowd in suburban Washington, too.
"Are we going to be neighbors soon?" she asked hopefully.
Ryan alone logged more than 2,500 miles Monday as he hopped from Nevada to Colorado to Iowa to Ohio to Wisconsin.
At a rally in Reno, Nev., he told voters: "This feels like deja vu, doesn't it? You've seen a few of us around, haven't you?" He'd been at a rally just around the corner on Thursday.
Vice President Joe Biden crisscrossed Virginia, and fondly recalled his debate with Ryan during a stop in Richmond.
"You all learned what 'malarkey' means, didn't you?" he said. "Well, I heard a lot of malarkey."
Just in case everyone wasn't paying attention, Obama and Romney made a play for those tuned in to "Monday Night Football," each making satellite appearances on ESPN that aired during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles-New Orleans Saints game.
The forecast for Election Day promised dry weather for much of the country, with rain expected in two battlegrounds, Florida and Wisconsin. But the closing days of the campaign played out against ongoing recovery efforts after Superstorm Sandy. Election officials in New York and New Jersey were scrambling to marshal generators, move voting locations, shuttle storm victims to polling places and take other steps to ensure everyone who wanted to vote could do so.
Obama, who voted 12 days early, was sure to observe his Election Day ritual of playing pickup basketball with friends and close advisers. The one time he skipped the tradition, he lost the New Hampshire primary in 2008.
"We won't make that mistake again," said senior adviser Robert Gibbs.
Romney was voting at a community center near his home in Belmont, Mass., before his sprint to Ohio and Pennsylvania. His campaign released a gauzy 5-minute Election Day web video called "The Moment" replaying key events from the campaign, with Romney assuring voters, "The future is better than the past."
The election played out with intensity in the small subset of battleground states: Colorado, Iowa, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. Romney's late move to add Pennsylvania to the mix was an effort to expand his options, and Republicans poured millions into previously empty airwaves there.
In the campaign's final hours, voters around the country echoed the closing arguments of the two presidential candidates.
Obama supporter Gary Muratore, of Upper Arlington, Ohio, said Obama had rescued the country "from the brink of economic disaster."
"And while I don't think the pace of the recovery has been as fast as anyone would like, I think that the only way forward is to keep on the path that he started us down," said Muratore, 62, who attended an Obama rally in Columbus on Monday.
Romney backer Anastasia Loupakos, voting in Iowa City on Monday, said Romney was "the one to turn our economy around."
"I can't stand the thought of Barack as president for four more years," she said. "I couldn't stand him spending all of our money. I feel like he's destroying more jobs than he's creating."
After a long campaign that cost record sums and spawned far more political ads than ever before, Americans were showing fatigue at the end. A Pew Research Center poll released Monday showed 47 percent of Americans followed news about the election closely last week, down from 52 percent a week earlier.
Attorney John Martin, from Golden, Colo., filled out his mail-in ballot over the weekend. He didn't want to reveal whom he had chosen, but said he'd been "obsessively" watching the election for months.
Now, he's ready to move on.
"I'm old enough to be able to live with either outcome," he said.
Sometimes, it all seemed like overkill.
Biden stopped in at Mimi's Cafe in Sterling, Va., after a rally nearby. As one family left, a youngster grumbled, "So we came into the restaurant and still didn't get any food."
LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney made last-minute pleas for votes Monday, employing their last vestiges of energy, celebrity boosters and plenty of jet fuel to encourage every supporter and the few remaining undecideds to tip the 2012 election in their favor.
National polls of the eve of Election Day showed a neck-and-neck race. But the winner will be determined by which man gets 270 electoral votes, and Obama had more paths to get there.
Ohio looms large in both of their victory plans — it was the only state both candidates were visiting Monday. And Romney's campaign announced in the afternoon that the GOP nominee would come back on Election Day for a rally in the Cleveland area. Romney also planned a Tuesday stop in the Pittsburgh area.
The incumbent and the challenger, both fighting weariness and a hoarse voice, closed by arguing they could do more to lead the country out of the tough economic times that dominated Obama's term. "This nation is going to begin to change for the better tomorrow," Romney said.
"Our work is not yet done," Obama told nearly 20,000 people who filled the street in front of the Wisconsin capital building.
Both men campaigned in states they need to win. Romney was in Florida, Virginia, and New Hampshire, while Obama was trying to protect Wisconsin from a late-breaking GOP challenge before heading to Iowa.
And in an indication of just how all-important Ohio was once again to the future occupancy of the White House, both candidates planned to be on the ground in Columbus in the evening for dueling rallies several hours and seven miles apart. The state has gone for the winner in every presidential election since 1964.
While Romney added more campaigning for Tuesday, Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the president would stay in Chicago for his election night rally and reach swing-state voters through a series of radio and television interviews.
Both candidates were also hoping to benefit from some star power. Romney planned a final rally in the day's final hour in New Hampshire with Kid Rock while country rock performers The Marshall Tucker Band was joining him in Columbus. Obama had actors Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock doing urban radio interviews, "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm making calls in Colorado, rapper Jay-Z joining him in Columbus and rock legend Bruce Springsteen as his traveling warm-up act.
"He promised me a ride on Air Force One," Springsteen said, strumming his guitar as he made a political pitch between songs.
The rivals planned to appeal to pro football fans in the eleventh hour, taping interviews with ESPN's Chris Berman that will air during halftime of the Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints.
Both candidates predicted the winner will be determined by which of their operations can get the most supporters to the polls. "This is going to be a turnout election," the president declared in an interview broadcast early Monday as he pleaded with urban radio listeners to get to the polls.
On the edge of an airport runway in Lynchburg, Va., Romney called on his supporters to "make sure we get everyone we know out to vote on Election Day." ''Every single vote," he said, speaking within view of Liberty University and after its chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. rallied the conservative faithful in the crowd.
Obama raised the possibility of defeat as he pleaded with listeners of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show to get to the polls. "If we don't turn out the vote, we could lose a lot of the gains we've already made," Obama said.
It was one of two of the president's radio interviews airing Monday aimed at turning out minority voters, the other with a Spanish-language station in Ohio. The president is relying on black and Hispanic voters to help offset Romney's lead with white men in particular, but the risk for him is that some of those key supporters aren't as motivated to vote as they were in 2008.
"Four years ago, we had incredible turnout and I know people were excited and energized about the prospect of making history," Obama said. "We have to preserve the gains we've made and keep moving forward."
A final national NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll showed Obama getting the support of 48 percent of likely voters, with Romney receiving 47 percent. A Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll had Obama at 49 and Romney at 48. A Pew Research Center poll released Sunday showed Obama with a 3-point-point edge over Romney, 48 percent to 45 percent among likely voters.
Obama dispatched former President Bill Clinton to Pennsylvania on Monday to keep the state in his column. First lady Michelle Obama went south to North Carolina and Florida. Vice President Joe Biden made a final reach in Virginia, while Romney running mate Paul Ryan was covering the most ground, flying to Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The hunt for swing voters was so concentrated that Biden and Romney crossed paths in northern Virginia, the vice president's motorcade pulling past Romney's plane on the tarmac at Dulles International Airport as the GOP nominee prepared to leave the aircraft. Stopping for lunch at Mimi's Cafe in nearby Sterling, Va., Biden confidently predicted: "It's all over but the shouting."
Meanwhile, about 30 million people have already voted in 34 states and the District of Columbia, either by mail or in person, although no ballots will be counted until Election Day, Tuesday. More than 4 million of the ballots were cast in Florida, where Democrats filed a lawsuit demanding an extension of available time. A judge granted their request in one county where an early voting site was shut down for several hours Saturday because of a bomb scare.

ATLANTA - Like many Americans, Jerry Henry is flying the flag outside his Fairburn home at half staff in memory of the children and teachers massacred at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school last Friday.
"It was a terrible thing that happened and nobody's for anything like that happening anywhere," he told 11 Alive news on Monday.
But as the Executive Director of GeorgiaCarry.Org, one of the state's most pro-gun groups, Henry still believes in the Constitutional right to defend himself.
He doesn't think tighter gun restrictions would have made any difference.
"If they're intent on doing evil, they will do evil and whatever weapon they have at hand, they will use," he added.
Meanwhile Atlanta public relations executive Mark DeMoss drew national attention to the issue with a Tweet.
"I am not leading a charge for gun control, but I am suggesting we've got to have some real serious dialogue," he told 11 Alive.
A conservative Christian and Republican political consultant, DeMoss helped George Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.
His Saturday Tweet triggered a story the Politico website.
It said:
"Days since shooting at Columbine High? 4614. Progress on national gun debate? Zero. We're less tolerant of smoking in public than shooting."
DeMoss now believes some sort of tighter gun regulations should at least be on the discussion table, along with mental health, violent entertainment and the breakdown of the family.
"We have Freedom of Speech, which may be the most sacred freedom; it doesn't allow you to yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre," he added.
But the Republican political consultant also admits any conservative politician who comes out in favor of any form of gun restrictions will probably be risking his political career, especially in Georgia.
Meanwhile, the NRA has issued no statements on the Connecticut shootings.
It also shut down its Facebook page after apparent death threats against its leadership.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Tyler Greene hit a two-run homer and Hector
Gimenez and Conor Gillaspie both added solo shots as the Chicago White Sox
edged the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, in the second installment of a four-game set at
U.S. Cellular Field.
Adam Dunn added a pair of hits and drove in a run for the White Sox, who have
won three straight.
Chicago starter Jake Peavy (3-1) allowed three runs on six hits -- including
two homers -- while striking out six over 6 2/3 innings. Addison Reed gave up
one run in the ninth, but stranded a pair of baserunners to seal the win and
record his eighth save of the season.
Matt Joyce and Evan Longoria both homered for the Rays, losers in three of
their last four, while Kelly Johnson added an RBI.
Roberto Hernandez (1-4) allowed all five Chicago runs on eight hits over six
innings to absorb the loss.

Guadalupe Centers Honor Royals
On the heels of the success of the club's inaugural "Viva Los Royals" event, the Kansas City Royals are being recognized for all their work and contributions to the Kansas City Latino community this season.
The Guadalupe Centers, Inc (GCI) has named the Royals as the Business of the Year and will present the ball club with the award during GCI's 21st Annual "Blanco y Negro" Awards Gala on Friday evening at the Marriott Muehlebach Hotel in downtown Kansas City.
On Friday, Sept. 7, the "Viva Los Royals" celebration at Kauffman Stadium raised more than $8,000 for the Guadalupe Center through ticket and T-shirt sales (Did you get your "Viva Los Royals" tee? They are still on sale in the team store…) and helped get the word out about this great organization.
Along with a strong presence at "Viva Los Royals," Royals Charities also contributed to the Latino community with its third annual Royals Charities Back to School Drive on Aug. 8. The event, which collected school supplies before the Royals played the Minnesota Twins that evening, benefited Our Lady of Guadalupe Elementary School in Kansas City, Mo.

*When cleaning your product, please remember to use a product that is safe for use on vinyl, a porous surface. Products designed for use on hard surfaces, such as Citrus II, can damage the upholstery and could void your warranty.
Nice quality,, but way to firm almost to the point of being hard.??
It's very firm and slides nicely under the sheets; however, it's larger than I realized it would be.
I really like the size, color and quality of the bolster
I have used the bolster I just replaced for probably 10 years. I didn't realize how broken down it was until I got a new one. My clients have commented on the enhanced support they now have.Don't overlook your worn out equipment! It makes a difference to your clients!
I purchased this item for my son, who is a LMT. He was very pleased with the quality and has put it to much use. His clients benefit greatly from it.

As we announced in December, the Celebration will not take place this March. We are, however, exploring the possibility of presenting a new conference in 2014.
WNET's EduTrends conference would preserve some of the best elements of the Celebration and provide a "Master Class" type experience focused on important trends in American education. The sessions would be led by world-class speakers and panelists providing engaging explorations of core issues that are most relevant to your work. While the conference itself would likely have a smaller audience than the Celebration, we'd significantly expand the impact and reach of the event through significant multi-media and broadcast components. We are working with a range of partners to develop this concept further and have already received very positive feedback. We will keep you posted on progress and plans as they develop.
In the meantime, please be sure to watch for an exciting PBS television special produced by WNET - TED TALKS EDUCATION. This program will feature renowned educators, experts and celebrities sharing messages of innovation and inspiration to help address the dropout crisis in America. Bill Gates, Geoffrey Canada and Sir Kenneth Robinson are all confirmed. The event is currently scheduled to be broadcast on May 7th @ 10pm (check local listings). This program is being presented under the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's American Graduate: Let's Make it Happen initiative.
Thank you for the great work you continue to do on behalf of students - we are committed to continuing to support you in those efforts through dynamic professional development opportunities and engaging free digital media resources like Get The Math, Mission US and VITAL.
Stay tuned - and we hope to see you again in 2014!

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- I'm big on creating ridiculous, hypothetical situations. I find them fun to come up with and then theorize about. This gallery was essentially born out of one of those ridiculous hypotheticals that begs the question: "Which animal would you be most afraid of if you were alone with it in a dark alley"?
Ridiculous, I know...but fun nonetheless. Take a look at this slideshow, photos courtesy of Flickr, of the 32 animals you never want to see in a dark alley. Let's hope this hypothetical never becomes a reality.

One Veterans group did some old fashioned BBQ to raise awareness for homeless vets.
The American Legion Post 13 at Lake Ella grilled burgers and hot dogs for veterans. The cookout helped raise awareness for the Stand Down event on April 5-7. The event will take place at the North Florida Fairgrounds.
That weekend will help teach about services available to vets.
"We'll offer various services to include medical, dental, counseling ," said Col. Washington Sanchez of the Florida Veterans Foundation.
You can read more about the events that weekend at the link below.

If you like pissing off overly authoritarian government initiatives, then you need to bookmark and use the following Web address.
Almost every year, the Super Bowl is the most-watched television program and it's not just football fans who are responsible for the massive viewership. The annual game has become a social event replete with parties and non-football fans who tune in to see highly publicized halftime shows, inventive commercials and episodes of promising new TV shows afterward.
Some people might call it the "Case of the Conveniently Disappearing Blog Item."
In an instance of revising history to suit changing political circumstances that would make old Soviet-style bureaucrats proud, a conservative anti-tax group has deleted a nasty blog item attacking a local official now that the person has agreed to help a fundraiser for the group.
The U.S. stock exchanges have opened strongly this morning, following gains in Asia and Europe earlier today. The Bush Administration's ever-evolving bail-out plans are, as they say in the bidness world, fluid.
Barack Obama has opened a 10-point national lead on John McCain, according to The Washington Post. Some pundits think the race is even more lopsided in Obama's favor but that the mainstream media — either to gin up excitement over a "close" race or to not look like they're "liberal" and "in the tank" for Obama — are portraying the race as closer than it really is. We all know Obama is going to win, which will make these final few weeks of a long, negative campaign almost unbearable.
Speaking of unbearable, how about those Bengals?
I've been getting good feedback (as always) to our annual publication of the Project Censored report on stories the mainstream media missed in the past year. It's a good reminder that Americans aren't as informed as we should be, particularly on international issues, and another reason to be concerned as the the nation's major newspapers continue to struggle with economic pressure.
Enjoy your Monday and the beautiful fall weather.
Censorship is one of the major reasons we have a constitution and the form of government everyone points to as the best in the world. But that doesn't stop individuals and groups from claiming objectionable materials must be removed from libraries and other institutions.
The Nazis used book burning to censor reading, but we're more "enlightened" here in the U.S. Instead we create what might appear to be reasonable arguments for saving people from themselves and their ignorance about the perils, usually moral in nature, such writing creates.
To call attention to those people who think the First Amendment applies to others, we celebrate the 26th Banned Book Week this week. "Observed since 1982 during the last week of September each year, Banned Books Week celebrates the Freedom to Read," according to Kristin Fahrenholz, an ACLU law clerk. "Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to choose and the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular. It also stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them."
Sponsored by rabble such as the American Booksellers Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, American Library Association, American Society of Journalists and Authors, Association of American Publishers and National Association of College Stores, Banned Book Week is also endorsed by that most subversive of all groups, the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. In a press release about this important week, Fahrenholz and the ACLU provide some interesting information:
"What is Censorship?
"Censorship is the suppression of ideas and information that certain persons -- individuals, groups or government officials -- find objectionable or dangerous. Censors try to use the power of the state to impose their view of what is truthful and appropriate, or offensive and objectionable, on everyone else. Censors pressure public institutions, like libraries, to suppress and remove from public access information they judge inappropriate or dangerous, so that no one else has the chance to read or view the material and make up their own minds about it. The censor wants to prejudge materials for everyone.
"Who Attempts Censorship?
"In most instances, a censor is a sincerely concerned individual who believes that censorship can improve society, protect children, and restore what the censor sees as lost moral values. But under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, each of us has the right to read, view, listen to, and disseminate constitutionally protected ideas, even if a censor finds those ideas offensive.
"Often challenges to books are motivated by a desire to protect children from 'inappropriate' sexual content or 'offensive' language. Although this is a commendable motivation, the Library Bill of Rights states that 'Librarians and governing bodies should maintain that parents -- and only parents -- have the right and the responsibility to restrict access of their children and only their children to library resources.' Censorship by librarians of constitutionally protected speech, whether for protection or for any other reason, violates the First Amendment.
"What Is the Difference Between a Challenge and a Banning?
"A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials."
Challenging the ban on a book is simple: Go to your local public library and check out a copy of one of the most frequently banned books of 2007:
1) And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson/Peter Parnell
Reasons: Anti-Ethnic, Sexism, Homosexuality, Anti-Family, Religious Viewpoint, Unsuited to Age Group
2) The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
Reasons: Sexually Explicit, Offensive Language, Violence
3) Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes
Reasons: Sexually Explicit and Offensive Language
4) The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Reasons: Religious Viewpoint
5) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Reasons: Racism
6) The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Reasons: Homosexuality, Sexually Explicit, Offensive Language
7) TTYL by Lauren Myracle
Reasons: Sexually Explicit, Offensive Language, Unsuited to Age Group
8) I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Reasons: Sexually Explicit
9) It's Perfectly Normal by Robie Harris
Reasons: Sex Education, Sexually Explicit
10) The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Reasons: Homosexuality, Sexually Explicit, Offensive Language, Unsuited to Age Group
Off the list this year are two books by author Toni Morrison: The Bluest Eye and Beloved. Both have been challenged for sexual content and offensive language.
If these books aren't in your library, demand an explanation, write a letter of protest and encourage others to do the same. If the books are there, happy reading!
