For many neighborhoods, the lack of access to fresh, healthy fruits, vegetables and foods is a big problem, but Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan is helping address the problem, at least in the short term, through mobile produce zones that will be placed in eight neighborhoods generally considered "food deserts." Quinlivan acknowledges the solution is a stopgap, but Michael Widener, assistant professor in University of Cincinnati's Geography Department, says it's a start that could help many local residents as a better solution is worked on.
In a 2-1 ruling yesterday, the Hamilton County Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's decision and said the city's plan to semi-privatize its parking assets is not subject to a referendum and may move forward. Parking opponents are appealing the decision and pushing for a stay. For the city, the parking plan will potentially unlock millions of dollars over 30 years, including a $92 million upfront payment. But opponents argue the terms of the deal, which include increased parking meter rates and operation hours, will hurt downtown business. The ruling also returned the city's emergency clause powers, which the city says allow it to bypass a 30-day waiting period on implementing laws and make laws insusceptible to referendum.
City Council unanimously approved a development deal for Fourth and Race streets downtown to build a grocery store, luxury apartment tower and garage to replace Pogue's Garage. With council approval, construction could begin late this year, with developers hoping to finish in 2015. The deal will be headed by Indianapolis-based development company Flaherty and Collins. The city's share of the $80 million deal will be $12 million, paid for with a five-year forgivable loan financed by urban renewal funds, which are generated through downtown taxes and can only be used for downtown capital projects.
Commentary: "'Jobs' Budget Attacks Women's Health Options"
The first mayoral candidate forum is tonight at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital MERC Auditorium at 620 Oak Street from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Candidates Roxanne Qualls, John Cranley, Jim Berns and Stacy Smith are scheduled to participate.
After nearly six years of no pay increases for non-union workers, Hamilton County commissioners approved raises for some county employees yesterday. The raises will be merit-based, but they will not exceed 3 percent of what the county pays in wages each year.
Few owners actually register their exotic animals. The state began requiring exotic animal registration after a man in Zanesville, Ohio, released 56 exotic animals and committed suicide.
Pending approval from the board of trustees, the University of Cincinnati is hiring Beverly Davenport Sypher as senior vice president for academic affairs. Previously, Davenport Sypher was the vice provost for faculty affairs at Purdue University.
An ongoing study found women who are denied abortions have poorer health and are more likely to live in poverty two years on.

Updated at 11:10 a.m.: Added information about first mayoral candidate forum.
In a 7-0 vote today, City Council's Budget and Finance
Committee approved development plans for Fourth and Race streets to
build a downtown grocery store, 300 luxury apartments and a parking
garage to replace Pogue's Garage.
Following the city's $8.5 million purchase of the
property, the project will cost $80 million. The city
will provide $12 million through a five-year forgivable loan, and the
rest — $68 million — will come from private financing.
The committee hearing largely focused on the downtown grocery store, which Odis Jones, the city's economic development director, called the "next step" of the city's overall plans to invigorate residential space and drive down office vacancy downtown.
Development company Flaherty and Collins will oversee the grocery store project, which was originally attached to the city's plans to semi-privatize its parking assets.
The grocery store will be 15,000 square feet — slightly smaller than the Kroger store on Vine Street, which is about 17,000 square feet — and open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It will be run by an independent operator, which is so far unnamed.
Flaherty and Collins CEO David Flaherty acknowledged it's "a compact space," but he said it will be enough space for a "full-service grocery store" with all the essentials, including fresh produce.
The grocery store will be at the base of a new, 30-story residential tower, which will include 300 luxury apartments and a pool.
Across the street, the city will replace Pogue's Garage, which city officials have long called an "eyesore," with a new garage.
The seven Democrats on City Council voted in favor of the plan, with Independent Councilman Chris Smitherman and Republican Councilman Charlie Winburn abstaining.
Democratic Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld questioned the funding sources for the project. City officials explained the $12 million loan will come through urban renewal bonds, which were previously set aside in an urban revival plan that encompasses all of downtown.
Jones said the money was going to a hotel-convention center deal when the city originally pitched the parking plan, but that deal has since collapsed.
City officials also noted the urban renewal fund, which is generated through downtown taxes, can only be used on capital improvement projects that support development and redevelopment downtown. Although the fund could be modified by City Council, it could never go to operating budget expenses such as police and fire.
Public dollars will go to the public garage, while private funds will carry the rest of the project.
The city's $12 million investment comes through a five-year forgivable loan, which means the city will get its money back if parts of the project, including the privately funded grocery store, fail to meet standards within five years. After the five years are over, the loan is forgiven and any failure would result in a total loss on the investment.
Smitherman, who opposed the city's parking plan, criticized the city administration for not presenting the current funding plan as an alternative to the parking plan: "What I'd like as a public policymaker is to see all of the options in front of me so that I can choose not just one option but maybe three options."
Sittenfeld also questioned Flaherty about two previous projects Flaherty and Collins undertook that went bankrupt. Flaherty said the bankruptcies were mostly related to the economic downturn of 2008, but admitted the bankruptcies forced the company to make changes.
The city estimates the project will produce 650 construction jobs and 35 permanent, full-time jobs.
For the city, the project is part of a much bigger plan
that includes getting 3,000-5,000 new residential units built
downtown in the next five years to meet rising demand.
"It's hot to be downtown right now," Jones said.
Jones explained the property would have cost Cincinnati millions of dollars regardless of the city's buyout and development plans because of a liability agreement the city made in the 1980s.
"When you start from
there and you gradually come up and look holistically at the project,
taking action was not only necessary, it was prudent," he said.
Food deserts are a big problem for many of Hamilton County's impoverished families, but ongoing research suggests officials may be overlooking mobility when attempting to pinpoint neighborhoods that lack access to healthy foods.
University of Cincinnati professor Michael Widener is heading research that looks into how mobility can alter perceptions about food deserts. So far, his findings have suggested that some people may have access to healthy foods throughout their daily commute despite being classified as living in a food desert.
Widener explains the research is necessary to make identifying food deserts more accurate. "In previous work and when I was doing my dissertation, I was noticing how a lot of food desert research failed to take into account the dynamics of everyday urban life," he says. The observation led Widener to incorporate those dynamics, particularly people's movements throughout the day, to see how they impact people's access to food.
Still, Widener cautions that his findings don't dismiss the problems caused by food deserts: "Of course, there are a lot of assumptions being made, like are (these commuters) totally drained after work? The biggest (assumption) is of course that (someone has) a car."
Widener says his findings could impact how public officials approach food desert policies. He points to potential stopgap measures, such as better access to public transportation, that could alleviate the pains of living in a food desert while a more permanent solution is put in place. Widener argues these policies could make financial sense: Considering how many potential costs a food desert can bring on a community, it might be cheaper for a city to build a bus route and encourage better ways to load groceries into buses. Widener knows these aren't perfect solutions, but he thinks they could provide some aid in a bogged-down political climate that often results in sluggish policy changes.
There is a caveat: Widener acknowledges research has so far been inconsistent as to whether access to healthier food actually leads to healthier results. Eventually, he wants to research what actually causes healthier results and whether broader economic factors, such as poverty, play a more important role. That could give officials a clearer picture on which policies work and which don't.
The first part of Widener's research came out in a January paper that looked at auto commuters' access to food, and the next part will look at public transportation's impact. The research project is using local transportation data from The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.
Food deserts are neighborhoods that lack access to fresh, healthy foods. In Hamilton County, many of the identified food deserts are in neighborhoods on the city's west side, including Price Hill and Queensgate. Cincinnati's food deserts are just one problem being addressed by Plan Cincinnati, the city's first master plan in more than 20 years ("Core Future," issue of Sept. 5).
Part of the parking plan proposed by City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. on Feb. 19 ("City Manager Proposes Parking, Economic Development Plan," issue of Feb. 20) would also build a modern grocery store with access to fresh fruits and vegetables in Downtown.

This Week In Home Entertainment: The Heat, Pacific Rim, Vikings, Defiance And More
By Jessica Rawden 2013-10-15 12:19:14 comments
The Heat Blu-ray Combo Pack
The Heat offers fans an uproarious 117 minutes comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, who plays Ashburn, an FBI agent, opposite McCarthys Mullins, a detective, in the film. The two team up to take down a drug cartel in Boston, leading to crazy hijinks and plenty of infighting. But when Mullins family becomes involved, the women get serious and decide to bring the heat.
Mostly, The Heat offers Bullock and McCarthy the chance to improvise and play two outside-the-box female characters in an inside-the-box buddy cop format. Its exciting to see a buddy female cop comedy work, just as its exciting to see a couple of women play weirdo characters with no romance involved. Bullocks more of the straight woman in the equation, while McCarthy gets most of the no-holds barred lines. McCarthy can occasionally border on the obnoxious, but her character thrives with this type of subject matter.
Director Paul Feig recently spoke to us about how he tried to edit the film to feature all of his preferred takes. This sometimes meant splicing a part of a wide shot with a close-up. Occasionally that leads to background continuity problems, which is a small critique and fortunately, one many viewers likely won't even notice.
At its heart, if it is anything, The Heat is enjoyable, and its the type of film that remains as funny upon rewatch. For a comedy, that's pretty high praise.
You can order The Heat over at Amazon.
Best Special Feature: There is just an overload of extras available with The Heat set. I think there are more extras with this disc than I have ever seen with a comedy, and they actually dont suck. Bloopers and deleted scenes are always good with a comedy, but they even have a cool name on this disc (see: All The Stuff We Had To Take Out But Still Think Is Funny). Honestly, Im not a huge fan of audio commentaries, but there are multiple on this disc and they are all worth a listen. One features Feig, another features the ridiculous Mullins family, another features other cast members from the flick, and a fourth was even put together by the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys and features amusing lines like, How much did the FBI pay for product placement in this movie?
Typically comedy sets are amusing, but Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainments The Heat is majorly enjoyable and is actually worth spending some time with to get through the extras.
Other Special Features:
Unrated Version
Mullins Family Fun
Von Bloopers

Story by Carol Park.
Not only is Brenda Song not your stereotypical Asian American who grew up to become a doctor, lawyer or engineer, she's a former teen star who's managed to make the jump to adult roles while avoiding the pitfalls of a child actor.
"Transitioning from child to teenager to adult is a difficult process for anyone," says Song, who began acting and modeling at the age of 7. "But doing it in front of the camera, you can grow with your character, and I've been fortunate to grow in the right direction."
Song made a name for herself playing the ditzy heiress London Tipton on the Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Suite Life on Deck from 2005 to 2011. Since her Disney days, she's played various grown-up roles on ABC's Scandal, FOX's New Girl and most notably the Academy Award-winning The Social Network. Currently, the 25-year-old plays Veronica on the FOX sitcom Dads, executive produced by Family Guy creator Seth Mac-Farlane. Veronica is the vice president at a successful video game company owned by childhood best friends, Eli and Warner, played by Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi, respectively, whose lives are turned upside down when their fathers move in with them. Fellow Asian American Vanessa Lachey stars as Warner's wife.
Though Veronica is described as the "voice of reason, who is never afraid to stand her ground with her bosses," according to FOX's website, the role was criticized by various groups, including the Media Action Network for Asian Americans, as racist and offensive. The controversy centered on Song's character forced to dress up in an anime outfit and jokes aimed at Asians.
"With the controversy, I found it interesting," says Song. "People took a 30-second bit and, in my eyes, blew it out of proportion. Our show isn't for everyone; that's why I was so attracted to the character of Veronica. On a show like that, we're able to poke fun at stereotypes. It's empowering to get ahead of the joke.
"Something I might find funny, my dad may not find funny," she adds. "But we're not out to please everyone."
Working with MacFarlane, Green and Ribisi has been humbling and a blessing, says Song. The show has helped her grow and learn from an amazing cast and crew, and she believes the show is innovative and creative while racy and edgy at the same time. And now that FOX has ordered another nine episodes from the show, it's likely Song will have more opportunities to learn from her colleagues.
Her appreciation for the experience is likely due in no small part to her recognition that it's difficult being an ethnic minority in Hollywood. Of Hmong Chinese and Thai descent, Song says sometimes castings can be difficult because people don't listen to her. But she stays one step ahead, sticking to her guns, and the knowledge that the right roles will come along sooner or later has gotten her through the challenge, she says. "At the end of the day, as long as you're passionate, if you're enjoying what you're doing, [ethnicity] shouldn't matter."
Indeed, for Song, any difficulties in her career are eclipsed by a challenge closer to home: her mother's fight with breast cancer. A two-time breast cancer survivor, Song's mother is currently undergoing treatment for her third bout with the disease. The experience changed her, says Song, who supports various breast cancer organizations. All she'll say is, "Mom's an amazing woman."
Though Song hopes for better, fuller, older roles in the future, for now, she's focused on taking it one day at a time. "Regardless of what you do, you have to look at things and the lessons to be learned, because the moment you stop learning, you need to stop doing what you're doing," she says. "You never know what the universe is going to bring you."
Dads airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on FOX

Tallahassee, FL - Imagine being able to sit down and play piano or listen to music at different locations around Tallahassee. That vision will soon be a reality. According to Organizer and Tallahassee City Commissioner, Gil Ziffer, "music is such a big part of our lives, to be able to have fun with it like this, raise money for a good cause and do it during the holiday season, I can't ask for anything more than that."
Although the pianos will not be displayed until the end of the year, 12 pianos have already been donated and one of those pianos has a rich history in Tallahassee. Andree Aubrey donated her piano and says "I have Ruby Diamonds piano, and I was going to give it to Temple Israel but this seems like a good cause. I'm not playing the piano anymore, it's a beautiful piano, it's very unique." Ziffer states "Ruby Diamond was a significant benefactor in this community and donated a lot of money to different organizations and causes in which one of the reasons why the performance center at FSU is named after her." The goal is to collect up to 25 pianos which will be painted pink by local children for Breast Cancer awareness. The 25 pianos placed around the community will also be available for sponsorship and all the proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Kim Gabbard, the Asset Manager at Northwood Centre donated storage of the pianos for the fundraiser and says "we are very excited to be part of the project. We think it will be a great benefit to the community and it's just another example of how Tallahassee responds to new initiatives which is fun."
If you are interested in donating your piano to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer you can call the Northwood Management office at 850-385-2324 or go to http://www.pinkpianos.org.

As hard as new parents work to keep their babies clean, diaper rash is a very common problem. Mustela Treatments can help prevent and treat diaper rash, a condition that is actually a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the skin. Diaper rash shows itself as a red pattern of patches on babies' bottoms. Because babies continuously wear diapers and we cannot always change them when they need it, the skin sits in excess moisture. The situation may worsen with illness or change of diet. Lack of air to the bottom can also contribute to diaper rash. Mustela Treatments are very effective at helping to cope with diaper rash by speeding the healing and allowing the skin to defend itself. Mustela Treatments are also very effective at preventing the problem or reducing the severity. Make sure you change your baby's diaper frequently so as not to allow moisture to sit on the skin. If the dreaded rash does develop, take action immediately with Mustela Treatments.
Diaper rash is usually very responsive to Mustela Treatments. Whether you are seeing the first signs of a rash or you are in the midst of a major irritation, Mustela Treatments can get your baby's skin back on the right track.
Diaper rash doesn't have to be a headache. With Mustela Treatments, there is an effective way to treat the condition and keep it at bay.
Not only do Mustela Treatments speed the healing of diaper rash but they can also be used as a preventive. Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream actually creates a barrier between wetness and your baby's skin. This helps to keep irritants out and encourages healthy skin function. Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream is loaded with both healing and protective ingredients. Vitamins and moisturizers help to soften and nourish delicate skin in order to keep it supple and comfortable. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral which keeps moisture from reaching the surface of the skin. It is naturally soothing, cooling and it can even speed the healing of minor irritations. Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream is a rich cream that goes to work immediately to lessen redness associated with diaper rash.
When babies start eating solid foods, they are more susceptible to diaper rash. It is during the ages of six to twelve months that the most serious cases of rash tend to form. When a serious case of diaper rash appears on your baby's bottom, take action immediately with Mustela Stelactiv. This exceptional diaper ointment provides instant relief from the burning, swelling and redness associated with diaper rash. The formula is soothing, healing but also protective, helping to keep rashes at bay going forward. It is safe to use on even the most delicate skin, containing only gentle and beneficial ingredients.

This revolutionary machine brings Starbuck's strong, aromatic espressos, freshly-brewed coffees, and creamy lattes right into your home with the push of a button. Now you can be your own barista and customize your Starbucks drink just the way you like it. More cream? No problem. Another espresso shot? Sure thing! With temperatures dropping, the only thing that's getting my cold bones moving in the morning is the hum of my Verismo system. Now this is one truth that I'm more than able to handle.

|Local troupe plans Aug. 7-9 shows featuring 'The Curious Savage'
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Curious Savage will be on stage in Holyoke and Haxtun this weekend, in a Phillips County Arts Council-sponsored event.
The play will be performed Friday, Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Haxtun Community Center.
Dinner theatres will be featured in Holyoke at KarDale's restaurant Saturday, Aug. 8, with a 6:30 p.m. meal and 7:30 p.m. show; and Sunday, Aug. 9 with a 1 p.m. meal and 2 p.m. show.
Tickets to the weekend performances and dinner theatres are available at the Phillips County Extension Office, from cast members or by phone at 854-3378.
Doug Kamery is directing The Curious Savage. He is especially pleased to have Holyoke and Haxtun working together in this event. Performers in this weekend's play are not only from Holyoke and Haxtun, but also Amherst and Wray.
Cast members from Holyoke include Jes-c Brandt as Lily Belle Savage, Eric Conklin as Dr. Emmett, Jerry Brandt as Hannibal, and Nicole Brandt as Miss Wilhelmina. From Amherst are Janismarie Oberle as Mrs. Paddy and Ty Glittenberg as Jeffrey.
Haxtun cast members are Jonathan Phillips as Samuel Savage, Karen Swan as Mrs. Ethel P. Savage, Danielle Conklin as Fairy Mae and Hannah Conklin as Florence. Also performing is Eldon Valdemar of Wray as Titus Savage.
The Curious Savage is the warm-hearted tale of Mrs. Ethel Savage, a slightly eccentric, extremely wealthy widow. Being the recipient of her deceased husband's estate, she wants to make the best use of it, despite her greedy stepchildren's selfish attempts to get their hands on it.
Mrs. Savage, however, has put her wealth into negotiable bonds in the hopes of establishing a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams, much to the siblings' chagrin.
They then commit her to a sanitarium in the hopes of shocking her to her senses. There she meets a variety of social misfits, all needing exactly the kind of help Mrs. Savage can provide and who eventually appear more sane than those outside the walls of the institution.
These wonderful individuals immediately endear themselves to Mrs. Savage. With the help of her new-found friends, Mrs. Savage leads her step-children on a merry chase!
It's a lovely story about what it means to be a family. This warm, funny, classic play is perfect for the entire family.
Kamery is no stranger to directing plays. He has assisted Jeri Anderson in co-directing the Haxtun High School musical for 14 years. He also directed community theater in Haxtun in 2002 when Fiddler on the Roof was performed.
Kamery took performing arts classes at McCook Community College in McCook, Neb. in 1978-79, where he met his wife Pat. They were married in 1981 and moved to Phillips County in 1984.
Doug worked at Jack & Jill, owned and operated the Kountry Krock restaurant, worked at the Holyoke Post Office and then worked for a year and a half as an appraiser in the Phillips County Assessor's office before being elected County Assessor in 2002.
He has acted in college and community theater, and in fact is one of the founding members of Phillips County Players.
Kamery is writing a revue including a medley of songs to be performed at Haxtun's Corn Festival Saturday, Sept. 26, commemorating Haxtun's 100th year. It is titled "In My Merry Oldsmobile—An Historic Trip Down Memory Lane with Roots of Music and Dance and a Comedy Detour."

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was born on Nov. 17, 1958 in Lombard, IL to Italian immigrant parents. Her mother, Mary, suffered terribly with rheumatoid arthritis for most of her adult life, and her father, Frank Mastrantonio, ran a bronze foundry.

An early acting role came in a production of "Oklahoma!" while attending Oak Park-River High School, and later in several stage performances at the University of Illinois, where the talented soprano studied music and voice.

Just read this article: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/app...=2013130111019
Got me thinking, thought it may be fun to hear stories from you all of teachers having "whoops" moments.
One that came to mind for me was in high school when our English class watched the old "Romeo and Juliet" movie. Our teacher knew when she needed to fast forward for the one full frontal Juliet scene, but for our class the teacher was doing another task and the class got to see it all.
I don't think any of our parents cared and emailed the administration.
I got in trouble in 1st grade when I questioned the validity of a teachers claim that penguins were not real birds because they don't lay eggs.
I once had a substitute teacher try to tell me the plural of deer is deers.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
We watched Shawshank Redemption in a high school literature class...
I guess I don't see anything wrong with showing a trailer, though I haven't seen that trailer so I don't know what's shown.
The parent wanted a police report filed? Serious?
First few seconds of the trailer?
Shrug it off. I don't remember this trailer specifically, but I can't believe that there was anything grisly in the trailer, much less the opening seconds.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
There shouldntve been anything wrong with the trailer, i doubt it was a red-band trailer so it wouldve been pretty tame. And its an 8th grade class, that child has already seen far worse things.

That's what I thought....man, I'm scared for when my little ones are in school...mainly that theyll be in school with kids who will have parents like this!
I tutor at an elementary school and it wasn't an oops that I did but as I was supervising a group of girls coloring after they finished their work, one of them drew a stick figure with a line down the middle of the stick figure. I didn't think anything of it until she said, "No, I meant to draw a girl not a boy!" then I told her the only way to get rid of it was to color over it so she did. A few minutes later the other girl was trying to talk about a woodpecker but called it a peckerwood. This sent the other girl off saying she knew what that girl was talking about and that she knew what the first word was. She refused to believe there was such thing as a woodpecker. 5 year olds should not know this much!
Follow me on Twitter: @mjballman20
Just give the mother some time and she'll probably file a lawsuit saying the preview has caused mental anguish on her child.
Nearly every movie trailer is rated for 'all viewing audiences'.
So..... what's the problem here. Some people... ugh.
Edit: I guess some are 'appropriate audiences' now.

I nearly got in trouble for trying to correct a substitute first grade teacher. In case you want to know, I was right in saying a whale is not a fish (they are mammals!). Stupid substitute.
***King of Diplomacy***
***Surviving Member of the Sandlot Mafia***
My cousin teaches at a Lutheran grade school in the Orlando area. The senior pastor of the church affiliated with the school was teaching the 5th grade boys sex ed. One of the kids asked how gay men have sex so the pastor (who was teaching this class for the first time) told them. Parents complained about it and the church sent the pastor to sensitivity training. He also never taught the class again.
I got in trouble in 3rd grade because I told the boy next to me that horses would race over him and pound him down into hell.
I couldn't remember if heck or hell was the swear word, and picked incorrectly. Little **** tattled on me even though he was a far worse child than me. Heh, he's now got a pregnant wife and no money. KARMA, you soulless ginger!

Product Description
Butter Bell – White Raised Floral
The Butter Bell crock is the traditional French method for keeping butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration for up to 30 days.
The Butter Bell's unique design enhances butter's delicate flavor, while providing a practical and decorative solution for serving and storing butter.
- Butter stays soft, delicious and spreadable without refrigeration
- Holds 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- Made of durable New Bone China
- Dishwasher & Microwave Safe
The secret to keeping your butter fresh and spreadably soft is to keep a butter crock on your counter. Before the age of refrigeration, butter was often kept in earthenware pots submerged in water. The modern water-submerged butter crock is thought to have first appeared in France in the Middle Ages.
Crocks keep butter fresh at room temperature (up to about 80° F) on the counter for several weeks without spoiling. This is better than a refrigerator because the butter is protected from the air, and it remains at room temperature. It won't tear bread and is easy to measure.
The unique design keeps butter at the perfect "spreading" consistency by reflecting outside heat while insulating and cooling the butter. Flavor and freshness is protected by an airtight seal of water at the base of the crock.
The Butter Bell is Easy to Use
Pour approximately 1/3 cup of cold water into the base of the Butter Bell crock
Pack one stick (1/2 cup) softened butter firmly into the bell-shaped cup of the lid.
Replace lid into the bottom of the crock. The water will create an air tight seal to protect the butter's flavor and freshness.
All Butter Bells are made from the highest quality materials and are completely safe, meeting FDA food safety regulatory standards for lead and cadmium.
Made of high fire dolomite
Dishwasher safe
3.75″ high and 3.5″ diameter

May 25, 2016
Tallahassee, FL - The close of each legislative session is marked by a ceremonial 'hanky drop'.
At the close of the session in the House and Senate, the head of each of the chambers-- the Speaker, for the House of Representatives, and the President for the Senate, drop a handkerchief to formally close the session.
In years' past, lawmakers have held the ceremony apart in their own chambers and then met in the middle, to drop the hanky over the seal of the state of Florida. It marks an end to the stress and fret of session and signals to lawmakers that they can head home. It also shows the fun side of session-- one year the cloth morphed into a tablecloth, and this year it's got its own Twitter account! (You can follow the hanky @SineDieHanky)
WCTV will be there tonight to let you hear the cheers as the white cloth hits the floor.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- A two-story home is a total loss after flames engulfed the home on Saturday, the Prince George's Fire Dept. spokesperson said.
Crews responded to the fire on the 15400 block of Mount Calvert Road at around 2:45 p.m. and found heavy fire consuming the home, preventing them to enter the structure.
Water tankers had to be brought in since the home is located in a rural area with out access to fire hydrants, the spokesperson said.
It took 45 firefighters and medics to contain the fire after nearly 90-minutes. No injures were reported.
The family of three adults and one teenager are staying with relatives in the area. The total loss is estimated to be $400,000 dollars, the spokesperson said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The seven Navy SEALS who were paid consultants on a video game that some believe jeopardizes our national security are being punished by the military.
One of the seven was a member of the team that killed Osama bin Laden.
The military confirms the seven Navy SEALS have been given non-judicial punishment: Letters of reprimand that can be career-ending, and they will lose half of their pay for the next two months.
The recently released video game Medal of Honor does not recreate the bin Laden raid, but does depict realistic missions. When the seven members of SEAL Team Six served as paid consultants, they allegedly divulged classified information.
"When you're an active duty SEAL, there are certain things you're not supposed to talk about," said Michael O'Hanlon, a Brookings Institution defense analyst.
The video game debacle is just the latest public erosion of the Navy Seal culture of secrecy, and an act that could put our national security in peril.
"What these seven are helping the game-maker do is understand things about Navy operational secrets and SEAL secrets that really should be kept under wraps," said O'Hanlon.
This latest scandal follows the publication of a highly controversial tell-all book by a former SEAL who participated in the bin Laden raid.
"The SEALS somehow, as a culture, as an organization, needed to send a message. Because while 99% of their folks still understand these rules and the reason for them, it appears a few too many have forgotten," O'Hanlon said.
The SEALS face criticism for failing to ask their commanders for permission to assist the video game designers and for allegedly showing them specially designed combat gear that's unique to their unit.
Four other SEALS are under investigation for their alleged involvement in the video game design, but they remain on active duty.

Northwest Projects
For over 15 years, American Rivers has been the lead voice for river conservation in the Pacific Northwest.
Integrated River Management on the Green River
Threatened salmon and steelhead are effectively blocked from the Green-Duwamish river's headwaters by Howard Hanson Dam, a flood control structure that lacks a passage system for outmigrating juvenile salmon. American Rivers is working to integrate improvements to river habitat in lower Green/Duwamish with fish passage in and out of the river's headwaters.
Oregon and California ("O&C") Lands
The future of 2.6 million acres of high value public forest lands is at risk. Managed mainly by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon known as Oregon and California ("O&C") lands, these forests are home to perhaps the highest concentrations of pristine wild rivers in the United States. Watersheds such as the Rogue, Illinois, Umpqua, and McKenzie support abundant fish and wildlife, including elk, black-tail deer, back bear and the healthiest wild salmon and steelhead runs south of Canada.
Stearns Dam Removal, Crooked River, Oregon
In October 2013, Stearns Dam joined a list of other note-worthy Pacific Northwest dams: Elwha, Condit, Marmot and Savage Rapids when it was removed from the Crooked River.
Nooksack River Recreation Planning
The purpose of the Upper Nooksack River Recreation Plan (Plan) is to provide guidance and recommendations for managing non-motorized recreation use in the river corridors of the upper Nooksack River system. The Plan recognizes and supports the benefits of recreation, along with the protection and restoration of the natural and cultural values of the upper Nooksack River basin in Washington state.
Our Next Wild and Scenic Rivers
American Rivers and partners are working to protect new rivers with Wild and Scenic designation, including rivers in the North Cascades, Olympic Peninsula, and the Rogue. They are outstanding rivers with special fish and wildlife habitat, clean water, and recreation opportunities for future generations.
2012 Dams Removed
Communities in 19 states, working in partnership with non-profit organizations and state and federal agencies, removed 65 dams in 2012, American Rivers announced today. Outdated or unsafe dams came out of rivers across the nation, restoring 400 miles of streams for the benefit of fish, wildlife and people across the country.
Yakima Basin Conservation Campaign
American Rivers is working with the Yakama Indian Nation and conservation partners at the National Wildlife Federation, The Wilderness Society, Trout Unlimited, and others to negotiate a comprehensive package of large scale fish passage, habitat restoration and protection, and water management improvements to restore abundant Yakima River salmon and steelhead in a way that earns the lasting support of the Yakama Nation, local farmers, and local communities.
2010 Dam Removals
Our list of 60 dams that were removed in 2010, benefitting hundreds of miles of rivers nationwide.
Condit Dam, White Salmon River, WA
Removal of the dam began with a breach draining the reservoir on October 26, 2011, and will allow the White Salmon River to once again be home to abundant wild salmon and steelhead runs
Elwha River Restoration, WA
The removal of two dams on Washington's Elwha River is one of the most significant river restoration projects of our time.
Kellogg Creek Dam, OR
Kellogg Dam is located at the mouth of Kellogg Creek which is a tributary to the Willamette River in the City of Milwaukie, Oregon. The creek historically had populations of Coho salmon before the dam was constructed, but now this 16 foot high dam blocks passage for Coho and other salmonids. The City of Milwaukie plans to remove the dam as part of an effort to restore these historic Coho runs and to revitalize the Milwaukie riverfront for the local community. The removal will also include the restoration of the stream and lakebed upstream of the dam to create excellent habitat along cold water pools in this area.
Klamath River, OR and CA
The Klamath River once supported the third-largest salmon run on the West Coast. Today, salmon and steelhead runs are a fraction of their historic abundance, with some near extinction.
Lower Snake River, ID, OR and WA
The salmon and steelhead of the Snake River are magnificent creatures, traveling over 900 miles from the sea to spawn in Idaho's high mountain streams. Unfortunately, this icon of the region is threatened with extinction, due in large part to the effects of the four lower Snake River dams.
Illabot Creek, Washington
American Rivers is working to permanently protect Illabot Creek's free-flowing character, water quality and outstanding fish and wildlife values. Illabot Creek, a tributary to the Wild and Scenic Skagit River, provides crucial habitat for two of the Northwest's beloved icons - salmon and eagles.
Alpine Lakes, Washington
SUCCESS! American Rivers worked with a coalition of conservation and recreation organizations to protect 27.4 miles of the upper Middle Fork Snoqualmie River and the entire 9.5-mile Pratt River as Wild and Scenic Rivers, as well as the addition of 22,100 acres of new wilderness to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area.
Washington Rivers Eligible for Wild and Scenic Designation
Moving Out of Harm's Way
Successful Habitat Restoration Projects
Innovative Water Management in the Northwest
The Northwest's magnificent rivers are the lifeblood of natural ecosystems and human communities. We cannot take our rivers and fresh water for granted. Climate change, population growth, and the increasing value of water as a marketable commodity have led to calls for new water supply reservoirs and more water withdrawals from rivers, both of which can devastate river ecosystems.
Molalla River, Oregon
American Rivers is working to protect the Molalla Rivers, which is an important resource for clean water, and additionally is an important habitat for salmon, trout and steelhead, along with other species that are part of this river ecosystem. Additionally the river is an important place for river recreation.
Mt. Hood Rivers, Oregon
American Rivers' has been active in protecting the rivers of Mt. Hood-- Oregon enjoys a reputation for some of the greatest river ecosystems and river recreation in the country.
Nooksack River, Washington
Flowing from the high snowfields and glaciers of Mt. Baker, Mt. Shuksan, and the Twin Sisters range in the North Cascades, the Nooksack River system is home to all five types of salmon, steelhead, bull trout, bald eagle, black bear, cougar, elk, and many other fish and wildlife species that need intact, wild places to survive. Whitewater rivers, incredible mountain views and old-growth forests provide world-class hiking, kayaking, and other recreation opportunities. Yet the majority of the Nooksack system remains unprotected
North Fork John Day River, Oregon
Olympic Peninsula, Washington
American Rivers is a core member of a coalition working to protect over 400 miles of river habitat on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State through Wild and Scenic designation.
Volcano Country, Washington
American Rivers is working with the Volcano Country Wild and Scenic Rivers Coalition to protect 200 miles of rivers and streams in Southwest Washington's Volcano Country under the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.

Mopar Camshafts Specifications Quick TechWritten by on September 1, 2009 Checking Camshaft Specifications With A Cam Pro Plus
Over the years, we tend to accumulate a lot of parts for our cars, and often these parts sit forgotten on the shelves of our shops until one day we clean up, wondering what the parts all go to. Some parts, especially engine parts, can be hard to distinguish from each other, so unless the parts are clearly marked it's easy to forget where you got them, and more specifically, what the parts fit. Camshafts are particularly hard to distinguish from each other, as the lobe dimensions can be difficult to measure with normal measuring equipment. Of course it's easy to determine lobe lift with just a set of calipers or micrometer, but the other specifics like duration, duration at .050 inch lift, ramp rate, lobe separation, and lobe centerlines are far more difficult to calculate. Luckily, there's a piece of equipment available at most high-performance machine shops that takes the guesswork out of determining cam specs. The equipment and associated software is called Cam Pro Plus, and we visited our local shop, Auto Performance Engines, to see how it works.
We all have had a camshaft or two that we just don't remember the specifications for because we've either lost the cam card, or the camshaft is not marked with a manufacturer's stamp or part number. But not knowing the specs of a particular camshaft is just one of the reasons Cam Pro Plus equipment can come in handy. Since the equipment can determine cam specifics by simply placing the camshaft in a fixture with sensors, Cam Pro Plus can also be utilized to check a camshaft's runout to see if the cam is bent, or to verify the cam is ground to the specifications printed on the cam card. Additionally, the equipment can simplify camshaft degreeing by telling the user if a camshaft should be retarded or advanced, and by how much, to meet the specs of the card.
Another benefit of using the Cam Pro Plus is that it makes lobe comparison very easy. Especially beneficial when considering reusing a previously run camshaft, this feature allows each lobe to be checked individually and compared to each other for signs of wear. On a new cam, this feature can double check that the cam lobes are not just ground properly, but properly referenced to each other as well. Since the software and equipment can give virtually every dimension of the camshaft and lobes, it can also be used to compare different cams and determine which would best fit your application before installing the cam in the engine. Once the cam lobes are measured, the Cam Pro Plus software can depict the specs numerically or graphically for quick comparison and analysis. Wanting to see how this equipment works, we grabbed a big-block camshaft of unknown origins from our shelves and headed to Auto Performance Engines to watch engine builder Kevin Willis demonstrate how the Cam Pro Plus works.

While it's nice to be able to purchase and install a new camshaft with known specifications, what happens if you have a cam that you're just not sure about? Rather than throwing it out as scrap, you can have it checked at a shop with Cam Pro Plus equipment for far less than the cost of a new cam.Since the Cam Pro equipment is so accurate, the camshaft must be cleaned in a parts washer and dried with compressed air prior to being checked.Once the camshaft is set in the fixture and the sensors are zeroed, the cam is rotated 360 degrees and the sensor reads the lobe. This can be repeated for each lobe if desired.The basic equipment consists of a fixture with sensors that are accurate to .00004 inches and 1/40 of a degree, and computer software to either numerically or graphically depict the cams specs.While the cam is being rotated, the software can display the specs in real-time, giving the user instant information. The lower part of the graphic display depicts each lobe individually.With the camshaft in position, the type of engine is input into the computer software. If you don't know what the cam goes to, the software can determine that as well through a series of steps.Once the lobe is measured, the information can be displayed graphically or numerically several ways. This screen shows the cam specs numerically, and can be printed and kept with the camshaft like a cam card, only in much more detail. This is a very useful piece of equipment and can save you from scrapping a potentially good camshaft just because you don't know the specs.

Frequently asked Questions
Are the Skins easy to apply?
Yes, the Skins are easy to apply and are custom designed and cut for My Passport drive. If you take your time and follow the instructions included with your order, you should have no problem making your My Passport drive distinct and cool looking.
Are the Skins easy to remove?
Yes, it is very easy to remove the Skin, should you choose to do so. Once removed, however, the Skin will never again adhere quite as well as the first time. We suggest you have a new Skin ready to apply to your device.
What is the Skin made of?
All of our Skins are made out of the best premium-grade glossy vinyl, are printed using a special six color high resolution process, and coated with a clear coating for additional protection.
How do I apply my new Skin?
Your custom Skin will arrive with step-by-step application instructions. Be sure to carefully examine your skin upon arrival. When applying the skin, be particularly careful not to stretch any part of the Skin around the thin sections of the design. Stretching the Skin will cause it not to fit the device precisely.
Use caution when removing the Skin from the backing paper because the adhesive side of the Skin will stick to itself and may cause damage to the Skin.
- Make sure the My Passport drive surface is clean and free from any dust or particles.
- Carefully apply the Skin to My Passport drive making sure it lines up with the LED and curves of the drive. If the Skin does not line up correctly, carefully peel it off and try again. Make sure not to stretch the Skin or it will no longer fit.
- As you apply the Skin to the device, firmly press the Skin from the middle to the edges, pushing any air bubbles out from under the Skin. To make this easier, you can use a credit card or other plastic card to help apply more even pressure. Be careful not to scratch the Skin.
- When applying the Skin to curves or corners you can gently stretch the Skin to get a very tight fit.
How do I remove bubbles in the Skin?
Most small creases and bubbles will disappear after time, but if the creases or bubbles are large you may slowly peel the Skin back up and carefully reapply. Keep repeating until the Skin is in its proper place and is smooth. In some cases, poking the bubble gently with a sharp pin will allow the air to escape. This should only be attempted as a last resort.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to lift the skin too quickly or you may stretch or tear the Skin.
Will adding the Skin affect the My Passport warranty?
The application of a Skin will not affect the warranty on My Passport.
