Reader Poll: What's Your Favorite Family Christmas Movie?
We recently gave you some suggestions for great Christmas movies for every occasion, including keeping the kids busy. Watching holiday movies and specials as a family was a big part of my childhood, and I'm continuing the tradition with my own kids.

Christmas Games for Holiday Laughs & Cheer
There are a lot of built-in activities around the Christmas holiday: caroling, cookie making, snowman building, snowball fighting, and present opening. So perhaps you and your loved ones don't need any ideas for things to do together. But our family has found that some of our most fun holiday memories are of playing games together. If you're looking for some fun Christmas party games, here are ten ideas:
Look! An App That Makes Paper Snowflakes
You would think that with a background in architecture I would be able to visualize well enough to make a decent paper snowflake.

That's where RectangleWorld's app for making digital snowflakes comes in most handy for me (and maybe you, too!):

Customer Reviews
April 01, 2010Reviewer: William in West VirginiaGood source of protein when you get tired of choking down shakes. I used the Natural Crisps and the taste was a wee bit chalky but the texture really adds something to things like yogurt. Haven't tried the chocolate but soon will.This review is specific to Whey Protein Crisps, Natural
July 06, 2009Reviewer: Julia in OhioI think these things are great. Usually the only 'crunch' I get from foods are nuts, and these crisps are a welcome addition to my everyday diet. They're great with greek yogurt and a little splenda, but also just plain. My only suggestion would be to have flavors. I'd definitely recommend this product.

Well it would be destroyed by my friend so why not keep it??
Well it would be destroyed by my friend so why not keep it??
You can place a camera up high and angle it down to take pictures; cows can't rub it. Nothing will stop a camera thief. Some bolt cutters are small enough to carry in a backpack.
FWIW...that's the origin of our high fences here.
I usually take 2 lone wolf ladder sticks with me, try to get them high. I have had one taken, but that just the risk you take.
idaho is bad wit land locked pub land, rich fellows buy just enough land to land lock. as far as im concerned public is public. i know there are a few on here that have their own priv land that land locks public land and they love the idea of it and will try their damnedest to keep people out. i mean no offense, but if its public land its just that, public land. if i was lucky enough to have some land locked land i may think diff id hope not though. there has got to be something we can do as avid outdoors men to change some laws concerning this prob.
Look at it this way. Suppose you owned (bought and paid for) a piece of land and some rich guy had your property land locked. How would you feel about it. I'm a vet and served my country. That "public" land belongs to me. No one should be able to keep me from using and enjoying it. If some landowner steals my property be it public land or a camera, I'm araid I might become his worst nightmare.

I dont see how are they imbalanced. There are 3 good well-known teams in each groups, while there's just 1 unknown team for me in each group (FL and VG)

Clubs and Activities
Campus Safety
WVU is a big school; however, I have not met a professor who is not willing to help students outside of class. Even though there can be classrooms filled with 200 students at a time, it is very easy to get to know the professor and to work with them one-on-one to really understand the material. As long as the student is willing to work, the professor will work with them. Along with professors being a very useful resource, there are other options on campus such as tutors, study groups, and teacher assistants.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 175 reviews for West Virginia University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask West Virginia University a question
it was meeting new people. the campus was very welcoming. i cant wait to attend.Read More
WVU is one big family. The academics are top priority, but so are the activities. Everyone supports each other no matter what.Read More
The most diverse college in West Virginia It is a really huge college The mountains and hills reinforce the beauty of the townRead More
It's a very large and very big party school. The professors are not always on top of what they should be and a lot of the course work may not follow the syllabus. The basic amenities can be very difficult to get to if you're on the Evansdale campus because there is barely any food options.Read More
A wonderfully welcoming environment with amazing faculty members and great opportunities of all kinds, WVU offers a wide variety of people who call themselves a Mountaineer. The split campus is beautiful and over 160 different majors are offered here, including puppetry! Classes can be challenging but teach you so much- this place really is almost heaven.Read More
I am so obsessed with this school. The atmosphere is everything anyone could ever want in a college because of all of the school spirit. I am really hoping to attend this college.Read More
When you enroll here, you truly become a part of a family. No matter your interests, major, values, or past, you are guaranteed to fit in here. I have never been so happy and proud to call a place my home.Read More
Sometimes getting past WVU's reputation can be hard, especially looking at it as a potential school. What I have told students who I meet visiting the college is that this is the kind of place where you feel completely at home. WVU has the best atmosphere and the college experience is what you make it.Read More
West Virginia University is definitely a great school to go to despite of the negative publicity they receive. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the people there are fantastic. The only difficulty is traveling between campuses.Read More
West Virginia University was the best decision I have ever made. It has so many opportunities for students and so many extracurricular activities for students that want to meet new people. West Virginia University is full of diversity but most important will help students better their futures and live a happier life.Read More

12 yrs ago, daddy came home and there I was, looking at him and saying Hi Daddy, I am yours. Our life was started that day. I was a stray that walked into a trap looking for food, and I got more than that, I got a furever home. I was a lucky kitty, a month after daddy got me, my left eye starting watering, I had herpes of the eye. Thanks to my daddy over the next ten yrs, my eye got to where I need no more medicine for it. We just wish Catsters was up and running a little better so we could celebrate a little more. I am now the official cuddler of the family. Love you Daddy.

[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
All kitties, as we all know, we got the bad news that caster community section is shutting down. In other words, casters is shutting down!!!!!! now, daddy has seen too many kitties, putting her tail between her legs and saying there's nothing we can do about it. Granted, the odds are against us, but, we can still try. There is a petition that in the forum section and a copy in here that every Kitty needs to sign, the more signatures we get the better we will look. Us kitties, also, needs to write, say media and tell them how we feel about shutting down casters. Need to let them know that this is just not Site is like a family too many of us, and what we will lose. When you shut us down. We still have a month and a half left, and if we can get as many kitties as we can to sign the petition and to write, say media, we might be able to change their mind. We were going on six years with being on caster, we do not want to lose our friends and our families that we have formed on here. So with everybody's help, maybe we can keep casters open. Below are the links for the petition, say media, and a blog that somebody sent us. We hope you will take the time and try to save caster.

Recipe of the Week: Candy Cane Brownies!
I ? December! Why? My apartment smells like cinnamon, my cats are planning their destruction of the tree, the air outside is cold, and all is right in the world. But holidays aren't always a joy—especially if you have a carnivorous family breathing down your vegan neck. No fear! The holidays are a perfect time to show your fam that you can eat vegan and not sacrifice anything—and to help prove it, December's Recipe of the Week theme is holiday treats!
First up? Candy cane brownies, of course!
What you need:
- A box of fudge brownie mix—try Duncan Hines chewy walnut brownie mix if you're down with walnuts
- Apple sauce—use 1/4 cup applesauce to replace each egg in the recipe (you can also use silken tofu or bananas for this, get more info here)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- A cup or so of walnuts—this is optional and only if you bought a mix sans walnuts
- A metal or glass baking pan—I recommend a 9×9 but a 13×9 is fine too
- Vanilla frosting—I used Pillsbury's Easy Frost
- A few mini candy canes
Alright—let's bake! Mix your brownie mix, apple sauce, water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. If you want to add walnuts, go ahead! Put a little bit of oil on your hands or on a paper towel and grease the inside of your baking pan so the mix doesn't stick when you pour it in. Pour your mixture into your baking pan (note: the wider your pan is, the thinner your brownies will be) evenly.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and once it's ready, throw your brownies in there. Bake for about 30 minutes or until you can stick a knife or toothpick in the middle, pull it out, and not see any brownie gook on it.
Once your brownies are done cookin', cool them—seriously. Wait until they're completely cooled and then bust out your frosting. I used a little red food coloring and pre-mixed it into the vanilla frosting, but you skip that part if you'd like. Frost your brownies and then sprinkle crushed candy canes on top (hint: I threw some mini candy canes in a plastic baggy and used a glass to break them apart).

It was with shock I read earlier today of the death of Sir Christopher Lee. Not just a great actor, but a great human being who should serve as a role model to all of us. He was simultaneously multi-talented and honest, having a career that included being a Nazi hunter, multi-linguist who loved Opera and also created a heavy metal album about his distant ancestor Charlemagne.
"I've seen many men die right in front of me – so many in fact that I've become almost hardened to it. Having seen the worst that human beings can do to each other, the results of torture, mutilation and seeing someone blown to pieces by a bomb, you develop a kind of shell. But you had to. You had to. Otherwise we would never have won."
Sir Christopher Lee, discussing his service in World War II
'When people say to me, you know – were you in this? Were you in that? Did you work in this? Did you work in that? I always used to say 'Can you keep a secret?' And they would say 'Yes, yes' and I would say "So can I".'
Sir Christopher Lee, on secrets
RIP Sir Christopher

The Thaddeus Kosciuszko Bridge carries motorists along Interstate 87 north across the Mohawk River. The tied arch bridges were built in 1959. Photo taken 07/20/05.
Eastern New York's main north-south highway, Interstate 87 runs nearly the height of the state from New York City to the Canadian border at Rouses Point. Three distinct sections carry I-87 shields in the state. The interstate follows the Major Deegan Expressway from the Triboro (RFK) Bridge in New York City northward to the Westchester County line and beginning of the New York Thruway. The toll road doubles as Interstate 87 between New York City and Albany (the Capital District), serving Newburgh, New Paltz, Kingston and Catskill along the way. Northward from Albany to the International Border, Interstate 87 follows the Adirondack Northway. The Northway serves Adirondack Park, the North Country and traffic bound for Montreal, Quebec via Autoroute 15.
Exit numbers along the three sections of Interstate 87 are sequential, each with its own numbering system:
Interstate 87 has three branch routes: Interstates 287, 587 and 787. Unused numbers presently were originally laid out as follows:
A cantilevered bridge across the Hudson River between South Nyack and Tarrytown, the Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic on December 15, 1955 as part of the New York Thruway mainline between Rockland and Westchester Counties. The crossing accommodated six overall lanes until the mid-1980s, when a narrow asphalt median was removed to allow for a seventh travel lane.6
Looking east at the Tappan Zee Bridge from the northward curve of I-287 ahead of South Nyack. Construction commenced on the bridge in 1952 and the span cost $60 million to build.6 Photo taken June 13, 2005.
The concept of replacing the aging span arose in 2000 after a recommendation by a state task force. It would take another decade however for the replacement to gain backing, and it did by October 2011, leading to a $3.1-billion design and contractor selection by a state review panel and the Thruway Authority.6
The notice to proceed occurred in January 2013, with test piles erected starting in July 2013. Approach superstructure work began in March 2014, with main superstructure work following in June 2014. The eventual westbound cabled stayed bridge is anticipated to open by December 2016. The bridge will handle two-way traffic from February 2017 to November 2017, with overall work completed on the project in April 2018. Total costs for the new bridge top out at $3.9-billion.7 For more information, please see The New NY Bridge web site.
Interstate 87 in its entirety is part of High Priority Corridor 47: Interstate 87.
With the exception of the South Bronx in New York City, Interstate 87 follows U.S. 9 for its entire length.
The mainline of the New York Thruway was opened to traffic in stages between 1954 and 1957. Opening dates of Interstate 87 from south to north:2
The Adirondack Northway section of Interstate 87, which is the toll free section from Albany north to the International Border with Quebec, Canada, began construction in 1957. A ten mile stretch opened on May 26, 1961 from U.S. 9 southwest of Glens Falls to Gurney Lane (Exit 20) to the north of Glens Falls. This portion joined the previously opened sections stretching 15 miles between Albany and Clifton Park and the nine mile bypass around Plattsburgh.4 The entire 176-mile Northway was completed and opened to traffic on August 30, 1967 at a cost of $208 million.3,5
Scenes such this one on the Adirondack Northway near Exit 31, Junction New York 9N to Elizabethtown and Westport, set the stage for some of the sweeping views and gorgeous vistas on the northernmost sections of Interstate 87. Photo taken 07/20/05.
The path of the Northway was debated and included discussion about whether to route it east or west of Saratoga Springs and whether to shift it east away from Adirondack Park toward the Vermont state line among other proposals. Three possibilities made it into final consideration:5
The options through Adirondack Park spurned opposition and the formation of a citizens group, Citizens' Northway Committee, in 1958, which advocated redirecting the Northway around the park. They supported an eastern route through the Champlain Valley, with I-87 staying east of its current route from Ticonderoga to Crown Point, Port Henry and Westport through to Keeseville. Ultimately the path of I-87 was decided with public input and a state constitutional amendment passed in 1959.5
Interstate 87 did not follow the entire New York Thruway mainline, including the Tappan Zee Bridge, from Elmsford to Newburgh until 1969. The 1968 Highway Act included legislation that shifted I-87 west onto the New York Thruway. The Interstate was previously routed along the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287) between Elmsford and White Plains, the present alignment of I-684 northward from White Plains to Brewster, and an overlap with I-84 west from Brewster to Newburgh. FHWA approved this relocation on September 11, 1969, followed by AASHTO on October 26, 1969. The same AASHTO meeting included the establishment of Interstate 684.

Tried to generate app GS > "Failed to determine framework name"
I'm on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, I downloaded:
- SenchaCmd-220.127.116.11-osx
- SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3-osx
- sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl
It's all installed in:
When I try to generate my first app usingCode:
sencha generate app GS ../GS
Failed to determine framework name. Please ensure this command was issued from either a framework or application directory
But the commandCode:
sencha generate app
Sencha Cmd v126.96.36.199 [ERR] sencha.generate.app requires these parameters: path (The path for the generated application)
Do you have any idea where this error comes from?
Thanks for your help,

You do not need SDK Tools ... I would remove them as Sencha Cmd replaces them.
Sounds like you are not running the command from the framework folder. For getting started, see these guides:

It's work. Thanks for your message.
What I've done:
cd /Applications/Sencha/sencha-touch-2
sencha generate app GS ../GS
7 Feb 2013 1:03 PM #4
Had same issue.
You don't need the Sencha-Touch-SDK as the Sencha-CMD replaces it.
Delete the SDK and install CMD as per the documentation.
For the 'sencha' command use the -sdk flag to tell it where ext-js or sencha-touch lives.
Like this:
sencha -sdk /Applications/Sencha/sencha-touch-2 generate app GS ../GS
Hope this helps someone else.

The docs should be clearer on this
I am trying to follow the documentation for Sencha Cmd, but it is not very clear on this subject.
In the section on generating an app
it talks about 'SDKs':
"Important: The above command must be able to determine the appropriate SDK."
However, in the error message it talks about frameworks:
"Failed to determine framework name"
Also, there is a specific section about setting up a workspace, that talks about managing frameworks
It says:
"The location of Sencha Ext JS or Sencha Touch (i.e., the "SDK" or "framework") is stored as a configuration property of the workspace."
(I guess here it is made clear that SDK and framework are equivalent..)
It then goes on to explain how to set the framework location... This suggests to me that Sencha Cmd 'knows' from the config which framework I am using and since I have only one it seems weird that I have to add the -sdk flag anyway...
I guess once you know how it works the docs do make sense... But at that point you don't really need them anymore. Maybe you should start the docs by explaining the relationships between Framework/SDK, workspace and application.
Also this part of the error message is super confusing:
[ERR] Failed to determine framework name. Please ensure this command was issued from either a framework or application directory
It doesn't make any sense in my mind to run a generate app command from the application directory. I understand this message is probably generic. What I am saying is that it's probably worth it to make the first steps of setting up a new workspace and new app so obvious and dummy proof even people like me get it right away. Because it will be the first thing most people will be doing with Sencha Cmd, getting confusing error messages right away is a real turn down.

The FDA has alerted healthcare providers and patients that medications including and related to valproate sodium can cause decreased IQ scores in children whose mothers took the medication during pregnancy.
Therefore, these drugs are being contraindicated for pregnant women for the prevention of migraine headaches.
Valproate products include valproate sodium (Depacon), divalproex sodium (Depakote, Depakote CP and Depakote ER), valproic acid (Depakene and Stavzor) and their generics.
Valproate products have several FDA-approved uses including prevention of migraine headaches, treatment of epilepsy and treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
Medicines that contain valproate already have a boxed warning for fetal risk, including birth defects. The recently published Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs study found further evidence of the IQ risk, leading to the strengthened warnings.
"Valproate medications should never be used in pregnant women for the prevention of migraine headaches because we have even more data now that show the risks to children outweigh any treatment benefits for this use," Russell Katz, MD, director of the Division of Neurology Products in the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a news release.
For treatment of bipolar disorder and seizures, valproate may have some value in pregnant women, according to the FDA, but it should be taken only if other medications have not controlled the symptoms or are otherwise unacceptable. Women who can become pregnant should not use valproate unless it is essential to managing their medical condition.
Women who are pregnant or who become pregnant while taking one of these medications should talk to their healthcare professional immediately. Women should not stop taking their medication without talking to their healthcare professional because stopping treatment suddenly can cause serious and life-threatening medical problems for the woman or the developing fetus, the FDA noted. Women of childbearing age who take valproate products should use effective birth control.
It is not known whether there is a certain time period during pregnancy when valproate exposure can result in decreased IQ. The women in the NEAD study were exposed to antiepileptic drugs throughout their pregnancies.
The FDAs strengthened recommendations are based on the final results of the NEAD study, which showed that children exposed to valproate products in utero had decreased IQ at age 6 when compared with children who were exposed to other antiepileptic drugs. The difference in average IQ between the children who had been exposed to valproate and the children who had been exposed to other antiepileptic drugs varied between 8 and 11 points, depending on the drug.
In a June 2011 alert, the FDA released interim results from the NEAD study that showed reduced cognitive test scores in these valproate-exposed children at age 3, and at that time the drug labels were updated.
The FDA is working with the manufacturers to modify the drug labels to reflect this new information and to change the pregnancy category for prevention of migraine headaches to category X (the drugs risks outweigh the drugs benefits for this use) from category D (the drugs benefits outweigh the drugs risks for this use).
Valproate products will remain category D for the other two approved indications, epilepsy and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.

Canyonlands by PeterJCoskunWatch
©2011-2016 PeterJCoskun
I had hoped for that classic shot of the arch at sunrise to get the sunstar beneath the arch. However, cloudy skies prevented that from happening. I decided to take a few exposures and play my cards when I got home to process them. No, this isn't what it looked like in person, but because of stacked GND filters and blending I was able to achieve a look that I admire in some southwest imagery. I love storm like atmospheres and high contrast over desert scenes. Some boost in contrast and I had a scene that looked like it came from mars. At first I was disappointed that the mountains were not as detailed as I would prefer, but because it had been so windy and overcast it created a haze that gave the scene some depth. For me the overall feel of the image portrays the rugged terrain perfectly. Red rock canyons and arches in the desert with the heat. It just seemed fitting. I still wish I had the sunstar shot, but even more reason to head back again. Comments and thoughts appreciated!
Mesa arch, canyonlands national park- Utah
Mesa arch, canyonlands national park- Utah
i want to go this place 3:
I'm heading out to Western Colorado / Eastern Utah in the end of July. Hoping to get some great shots while I'm out there. I really like this shot by the way.
Thanks! I'm sure you will. Especially if there are storms brewing. The best light you can get in the desert.
Awesome picture! Stunning colors!
Phenomenal shot.
Wow! Great view!
Nice work... this reminds me of something you would see on Mars
I like the deep red style you achieve with a lot of these frames. Not light that you usually see with the arch. Why chase the requisite common shot when you are already getting frames that are unique!
Thanks, although I admire getting that classic shot with the rich golds and sunstar, I did want to do something different and create more of a surreal landscape image.
that's like wow!!
Did you do some photoshopping on this; it looks so perfect that it almost seems to be unreal....
Did you do some photoshopping on this; it looks so perfect that it almost seems to be unreal....
Thanks! I did some photo shopping obviously enhancing the contrast and pushing the blacks down to bring out the mountains in the background.
Outstanding! the martian-like landscape feel of this is perfectly achieved. The clouds do add a monumental atmosphere as well as you could see some rays of sun penetrating through the clouds in the distant (at least from my screen). Very well done.
praise be to the mighty creator!
I love that place. Great photo there and quite and interesting coloring to it.
I really need to go there haha

Patch #002Evolution
by Joe Biel
By now, other than than Ann Coulter, we've mostly agreed that humans evolved from apes. But the science is still out. Do all humans evolve into bicyclists? Are you?
This is one of our very early designs, showing the evolution of various primates into a bicycle racer. We now also have other types of bicycles represented on other patches and stickers, so if you don't see yourself in this speedy scorcher, click around a bit!

"My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet-plane. His son will ride a camel." We can choose to take care of ourselves and our planet now or have the consequences of doing nothing and that choice being made for us. The capitalist hegemons of this nation give me little choice but to abandon a way of self-serving, infantile behavior and inaction and embrace a sustainable, co-operative lifestyle which honors my neighbors, my self and my world. Ride on!

It was running a mile, so that's why we're in Foo.
My wife signed me up with my son to do a one mile run. There was a 5K going in parallel, so the 1 mile run was mostly 6-8 yr olds and a smattering of parents.
At the word "Go" the kids sprinted. And this sucks because apparently kids can sprint for like 600 yds up hill.
At about 1/2 mile, I caught up to my son who was running very smoothly and lightly. I on the other hand was puffing like a locomotive. And he never really slowed down from there. He even pulled away from me in the last 30yds to legitimately beat me across the line in about 9.5 minutes (probably front quarter or third of the field). 5 minutes later, he's running up and down the last hill cheering other people on.
Never felt so proud to be spanked in a race.

Oh. I didn't know about that. Thank you!
Hi, sock of The Unified Terrain of Phoenix Mountain here. PM was in the WA and endorsed World Anarchic Union, so I'm not sure why it was ejected from the region? I'd gotten fairly involved as PM and was literally about to start running the Internationale Games tomorrow.
This region is being secured. You are in our backup region, so you can continue as you were there.
Yep, sorted. Sorry for the panic, I thought I'd been mistaken for a mole.
Many thanks to comrades Irish Peoples Republic, Auhl, Timchiland, Pangaean Peoples, Ratateague, Proletaire, World Anarchic Union, and Godless Monkey for their work in clearing most of the nations from The Internationale. :)
The following nations are asked to move to The Red and Black to allow us to finally completely secure TI:
Blanquia, Cathartha, Esken, Komunuma, Tharsha, The last internationale, Tychus the marauder, and Weempwompt.
All other nations please remain in TI for the time being.
I don't wanna sound rude but, why did we non-WA nations need to go to Red and Black?
I have nothing against it but I'm just asking :3
It's kinda sad seeing this region so empty. Almost feels like I'm watching an old friend slowly die.
The Internationale isn't dead. It's not even dying. :)
Like Joe Hill, The Internationale lives on. Just as it did when we had to move to The International, TI still lives on in its comrades who now reside, like you, in The Red and Black. :)
Unlike our enemies in the Greater German Reich, NAZI EUROPE, and other such regions, we have never been conquered by an enemy military despite losing two founders. We were tag-raided once, but that is the extent of the damage our enemies have managed to inflict on The Internationale. Be proud that this region has been closed down by friendly forces waving red and black banners and that we have successfully moved to our new home, comrade. There are no tears to be shed for this region. :)
Fair enough, I suppose this isn't the worst fate the region could suffer.
Tharsha, Tychus the marauder, Esken; The Red Fleet and comrade WA Delegate of The Internationale are trying to secure this region following the deletion of the Founder nation. Please depart for The Red and Black.

OLYMPIA — After participating in a county-sponsored Wastebusters program, the Crawford family of west Vancouver had a lot less trash to take out. In fact, they received a trophy in the shape of a garbage can in honor of their waste-reducing efforts.
Over six weeks in the program learning about various methods to cut down waste sent to landfills, the Crawford family reduced its trash by an average of 72 percent, the most of six participating families.
The Crawfords were honored at the Recycled Arts Festival last weekend in Esther Short Park, where they received their trophy — made of reused materials, of course.
All but one of program's six families recorded reductions in their waste streams. Each family's weekly progress, along with waste reduction advice and other information, is online at www.clark.wa.gov/recycle/wastebusters.html.
Matt Grimley, a sustainability educator with Clark County Environmental Services, said he gave the families a lot of resources and tips to help them cut down on trash. They were provided with worm bins and glass food storage containers, he said.
The families weighed their accumulated trash each week. Some weeks were better than others, Grimley said. Graduation parties especially added to families' trash weight.
But overall, the six families reduced waste by 50 percent, he said. Grimley was pleased with the outcome, and said the county may continue Wastebusters, a pilot program, in years to come. "The program definitely went really well, and there are a lot of good things we'd like to move ahead with," he said.

Joint Armed Forces Officers' Wives' Luncheon
Gates, Robert M., U.S. Department of Defense Speeches
As Delivered by Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, Bolling Air Force Base, Maryland, Friday, June 26, 2009
Well, thank you for that introduction. And my thanks to the luncheon committee for inviting me to spend some time with all of you today. I very grateful to receive the National Military Family Association's award a little belatedly. The N.M.F.A. is a faithful helper to our service men and women and their loved ones, wherever they may be, whether it's:
Running Operation Purple, a free camp program for military kids that operates in 37 states and territories; or Providing tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to military spouses each year; or
Offering career development advice in particular, awarding military spouses with fellowships to gain accreditation as financial counselors.
So I'm very honored to be associated with you all. And I would say also that the list of your past luncheon speakers is quiet impressive. I'll do my best to meet the high mark you've already set.
One person I will not be able to equal is the late humorist Art Buchwald, your very first speaker and in a way, accidental founder since it was he who urged that the several organizations be consolidated into what became the Joint Armed Forces Officers' Wives' Luncheon in 1977. He returned as the JAFOWL keynoter a dozen years later, no doubt to celebrate with you the success of his chance creation.
I always appreciated Buchwald's ability to make fun of Washington. I have been known to do a bit of that myself from time to time, but I can't improve on the best of Buchwald. The Congress did not escape his wit. He said, I always wanted to get into politics, but I was never light enough to make the team. The lobbyists received attention as well; he said they're just like you and me they put on their golf shoes one foot at a time. Presidents were fair game, too. Richard Nixon, for whom I worked, among others, and who was great material for political humorists, prompted Buchwald to say: I worship the quicksand he walks in.
As a pundit Buchwald was in demand around this town. Military groups like this, though, had a special claim on him because he was a veteran. And a proud one. A high schooler when the Second World War broke out, he ran away to join the Marines. As he put it: My father was the Marine Corps. It was everything.
We have been fortunate enough throughout our history to find men and women like him to serve our nation and defend it. And today, as America fights two wars, we have seen have the most skilled armed forces that have ever been assembled. Buchwald was part of the Greatest Generation. Today's soldiers, sailors, airmen, coastguardsmen, Marines volunteers all are rightly being called the new Greatest Generation.
The nation is currently engaged in the longest war with all-volunteer forces since the War of the Revolution. A higher percentage of moms and dads are serving in this conflict than in any time in recent history. More than 40 percent of the military are parents and over 230,000 children have a mother or father at war. A generation of kids has had a parent deployed for war at least once if not many times. A Pentagon survey earlier this year of over 13,000 spouses of active-duty service members recently found that the children most affected by deployments were between the ages of six and 13. The empty seat at the dinner table night after night is a constant reminder of a child's worry for the safety of his or her parents. And there is also the grief and the heartbreak when a loved one is injured or killed. Even in peacetime, military kids face special circumstances, such as moving every time mom or dad gets a new assignment. But these parents appreciate that their service today will pay dividends tomorrow. When the nation calls them to difficult and dangerous places, they answer that call knowing that what they do protects the loved ones that they've left behind. …

The Portland Timbers have signed Scottish forward Kris Boyd as the team's third Designated Player.
Boyd, 28, is the Scottish Premier League's all-time leading scorer with 164 goals. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Timbers general manager Gavin Wilkinson announced the signing of Boyd on Monday. ?"Kris is a proven goal-scorer at the highest levels of the game, and we expect that to continue here in Portland," Timbers head coach John Spencer said. "We've been looking for this type of traditional number nine player and are very pleased we found him."
The number nine is often worn by strong center forwards.?Boyd, 28, is one of the most prolific strikers in Scottish football, scoring 164 goals in 296 appearances in the Scottish Premier League with clubs Kilmarnock FC (2000-05) and Rangers FC (2006-10). He netted 101 goals during his time with Rangers, and is a four-time winner of the SPL's goal-scoring title.
Boyd has been capped 18 times by the Scotland National Team.?Since 2000, Boyd (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) has scored 176 goals in 335 career matches, playing in the top leagues of Scotland, England and Turkey. He will be added to the club's roster pending the receipt of his P-1 Visa and the successful completion of a physical. ?
"I've said from the beginning that we are committed to winning and will make a significant investment on the player front if it is the right fit for the organization," Timbers owner Merritt Paulson said. "Kris perfectly fits the profile of the team's needs and will make a huge impact."?
A native of Irvine, Scotland, Boyd was Rangers' top scorer in each of his five seasons with the club, tallying 20 or more goals in a season three times. He compiled his 101 goals with Rangers in 143 appearances. Boyd's scoring prowess led Rangers to back-to-back Scottish Premier League championships in 2008-09 and 2009-10 as well as a pair of Scottish Cup (2007-08, 2008-09) and three Scottish League Cup titles (2006-07, 2008-09 and 2009-10).?
"I'm delighted to be in Portland and hopefully I'll be over as soon as the visa matches up to be in time to be ready for the season," said Boyd.?
Boyd claimed the SPL's scoring crown four times in five seasons, including the 2005-06 campaign in which he netted a career-high 32 goals while splitting time between Kilmarnock and Rangers. He shares the league's record for goals in a single match with five, a feat he achieved twice during his career in the SPL.
?With Scotland's national team, Boyd has seven goals to his credit in 18 appearances. He scored twice in his debut Sept. 2, 2006, as part of Scotland's 6-0 win over the Faroe Islands. Boyd has been called up for several international competitions, including a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier and several European Championship qualifiers. He's also represented Scotland at the U-16, U-19 and U-21 levels. ??
Boyd made his professional debut as a teenager with Kilmarnock in 2000. He had a breakout season in 2002-03, scoring 12 times and winning the club's Young Player of the Year. He was the club's leading scorer for four straight seasons from 2002-05. In total, Boyd found the back of the net 63 times in 153 games with Kilmarnock before joining Rangers midway through the 2005-06 campaign. ??
With Rangers, Boyd also competed in Europe's top club competitions – the UEFA Champions League and Europa League. He's played eight career games the UEFA Champions League, facing the best clubs across Europe. Additionally, he has 11 appearances and three goals in Europa League play and helped Rangers reach that tournament's final in 2007-08. ??
After 10 seasons in the SPL, Boyd made the move to England in 2010. He joined Middlesbrough for the 2010-11 season and scored six goals in 29 total appearances, which ranked among the club's leading goal scorers. During the season, Boyd spent time with Nottingham Forrest on loan, adding six goals in 10 matches to help the side to the Championship's promotion playoff. ??
Prior to joining the Timbers, Boyd played briefly with Eskisehirspor of the Turkish Super Lig during the 2011-12 season.??

The Cub Inn B&B is the newest B&B in Groveland CA. Built entirely of 8" dia. Swedish Cope Pine Logs on 3 quiet, alpine forested acres, near town but far from civilization, our home and B&B was completed and opened April 2009. Using true Post and Beam Log Home design, the three 14" dia. X 48' long Purlins supporting the roof soar over 27 feet above the Great Room floor. Authentic nine foot raftered beam ceilings are found on both the first and second floors. Facing North, the Glass Windowed Prow looks thru a dense alpine forest toward the mountains beyond. Not far from town, but away from the noise of Highway 120, this setting offers a quiet, tranquil wooded retreat where you can truly relax and enjoy nature at its finest.

Wonderful stay, great breakfasts, comfortable bed - what can I say-"It was perfect". Thanks Joe& Char - we'll be back!!
5 on February 20, 2016
We enjoyed a couple nights with Joe and Charleen at the Cub Inn. We had deer outside of our room and a couple mornings of great breakfast and conversation. We also enjoyed an evening relaxing by the fire, drinking wine and champagne and further conversations with our other housemates staying at the Cub Inn. The rooms were clean and the location is very close to route 120 making it an easy trip to Yosemite.

We loved our 4 night stay very much and would highly recommend the place! Joe made a fabulous breakfast and gave tons of helpful tips on how our family could get the most out of our vacation in Yosemite National Park. It was nice to share the breakfast table with people from all over the World that wanted to experience the beauty of the area just as we did.

Joe and Char were wonderful hosts during our time at the Cub Inn. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and at home in their lovely log cabin home. The accommodations were lovely, comfortable and very clean. Our room (Pam's Room) was huge! Breakfast is served at 8am, and it gives you an opportunity to share stories with the other guests. It was a really nice touch, and Joe's biscuits and sausage gravy were awesome! After coming home from the park, Joe and Char were there to chat with and talk about the day's adventures. We will definitely stay at the Cub's Inn the next time we visit N. California and Yosemite.

Joe and Char were the best hosts. They made us felt welcome immediately upon our arrival. Both Joe and Char shared lots of tips and information on Yosemite (trails to hike, places to see/visit, good restaurants in the area, etc.). Breakfasts were always delicious and hearty - the perfect start to a full day in Yosemite. Our room (Carla's Room) had a private entrance which we really liked. The room was the most cozy space with the best bath tub to soak in. It was the perfect place to "come home" to after long days of hiking. Our next trip to Yosemite will certainly include staying at The Cub Inn again.

The Cub Inn is a great Yosemite getaway with a lot of charm. Joe and Charleen are great hosts and the house is beautiful. If you're a pilot, ask Joe about the pilot special when flying into Pine Mountain Lake (E45). Nights on the deck are spectacular. Lots of deer and wildlife. We'll definitely be back. Note: They have 5 playful cats and a very friendly dog. We're animal lovers so it's okay, but could be problematic if you're allergic.

Joe and Char's B&B is the best place to stay in Groveland. Joe is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the area!! The cabin its self feels like were staying in a handmade Lincoln log cabin with a fireplace roaring and the kittens playing at your feet. Breakfast feels like you're eating with family. Listening to Joe's recollections of being a pilot in the military and frequent long backpacking trips through Yosemite were a highlight of our stay. The start look beautiful at night at this secluded B&B. The deer outside our window every morning were a delight. Love their B&B and we will be back!!

My son and I had a comfortable one night stay on our way to Yosemite. We enjoyed the owner, his cats and the deer that appeared while we had breakfast round the big table. This was an oversized log cabin, secluded among the trees on a quiet road. A good base for Yosemite and fun place to stay.

I was very pleased with our stay at the Cub Inn. Although Bookings.com messed up the reservation by requesting one room the owners were able to arrange for two rooms without prior notice, as it was close to the end of the season and not crowded. The rooms were cozy, the beds comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and Joe was a wonderful host. We appreciated his meal recommendation and places to see in Yosemite. I enjoyed the cats and the dog----although for one in our party they were a bit much. I thought the animals were well behaved and added to the coziness of our stay.

Ga. DOT to restore nearly 500 communities erased from highway map
The Associated Press
Contact Editor

Po Biddy Crossroads will be back on the map. So will Hopeulikit and Doctortown.

From Abbottsford to Zetella, the 488 communities wiped from this year's version of the state highway map will be restored, the Georgia Department of Transportation said Wednesday.

"These communities are as much a part of the fabric of our state as our major metropolitan areas," said Vicki Gavalas, the department's spokeswoman. "The department will provide the public with a map that not only reflects Georgia's economic evolution, but also the historical significance of its many communities."

The towns were erased from the map after the transportation department decided it wanted a clearer, more legible version of the map to hand out for free at visitors centers and tourism hotspots.

The move led to an outcry among some small-town officials, who said the erasure of places like Cloudland, Poetry Tulip and Chattoogaville were an insult to rural residents.

It also prompted a response from the highest reaches of state government. Gov. Sonny Perdue said in a letter to transportation officials released Wednesday that his office was deluged with calls from residents concerned about the cartographic confusion.

"I myself have heard firsthand from Georgians about their concerns regarding the economic and societal impact the state's actions will have on small communities," Perdue said in the letter, which urged the transportation board to reconsider the changes.

Carrie Hamblin, a transportation department spokeswoman, said the decision applies to both the large-print and regular text versions of the map. She said the maps are usually printed in the summer, but that the department is trying to get an earlier printing date.

Dennis Holt, who is leading a community effort to restore the name of western Georgia's Hickory Level, celebrated the decision.

"It's wonderful," he said. "It shouldn't have happened to begin with, but we're glad they put it back to how it should have been."

Mapmaking criteria vary by state, and a little housecleaning over time is not unusual. But other states said it is almost unheard of to see hundreds of communities given the boot in a single year. Even Rand McNally, which as North America's biggest commercial mapmaker sells its maps at gas stations and bookstores, said a change of just a dozen place names on its state maps is rare.

News of the cartographic change prompted a flood of map-related letters and phone calls to the governor's office, as well as a number of complaints from legislators, said Bert Brantley, Perdue's spokesman.

State Sen. Tim Golden, a Democrat who represents a swath of south Georgia with at least two towns missing from the map, was one of the lawmakers who said the towns should be restored.

"I think for both historical reasons and tourism, why not leave them on the map?" he said.

Gavalas, the transit department's spokeswoman, said she regrets that any rural residents feel slighted. "That certainly was not our intent," she said. "Indeed, our only intent was to make the official state map a more easily read resource."

Still, Holt said he's wary of another attempt to ax his town of 1,000 from the map again.

"We're glad that they've seen the light and put it back on there," he said. "Our concern is: Will they do this again? We'll be waiting, we'll be watching.

"We've been here 178 years. I've been here 30 of those. And we're not going anywhere."

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — After mushing dogs on the Tanana River for 20 years, both for trapping and recreational purposes, Knut Kielland decided to figure out why the river freezes — or doesn't freeze — the way it does.
Over the course of four winters, Kielland, a researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' (UAF) Institute of Arctic Biology, solicited the help of other scientists, oral historians, and locals who live in villages along the river, to study changing ice conditions on the Tanana River.
"After running around on bum ice for 20 years, we decided to look at things a little more systematically, and that's what this project was all about," Kielland said.
During the winters of 2005-2007 and 2010-2013, groups of river travelers and scientists traveled to potentially hazardous places on the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Manley Hot Springs and Tanana to document ice conditions and/or measure air temperature, ice thickness and water temperature, depth and chemical composition. Specifically, Kielland and other scientists were interested in the dynamics of the river system and the influence of groundwater upwelling on ice conditions.

While Kielland and other researchers are still digesting the data they collected, to be presented later in the form of scientific papers, they did take the time to put together a booklet called, "On Dangerous Ice — Changing Ice Conditions on the Tanana River" that is available to the public. A byproduct of the study, the 66-page book serves as a sort of travel guide and is chock full of tips, color photos, diagrams and graphics about traveling on and identifying dangerous ice.
The guide covers everything from dealing with open water and overflow to the dangers of steep cutbanks and sandbars to the effects of groundwater upwellings on ice and all sorts of stuff in between.
"It's a really cool book," Charlie Campbell, a trapper and musher in Tanana who was one of the local experts who helped with the project, said. "We put a lot of work into it."
While the book is specific to the Tanana River, Campbell said the principles covered in it can be applied to river travel throughout Alaska.
Local experts like Campbell provided historical perspective, personal experience and traditional knowledge about ice conditions on the Tanana River that were recorded and documented by Bill Schneider and Karen Brewster, a pair of oral historians at UAF.
The study, a joint project between Elmer E. Rasmuson Library and the Institute of Arctic Biology, was funded with $360,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation. The project had several components, said Schneider, who has since retired as curator of oral history at the UAF library. In addition to the scientific papers that will be written and the booklet, a website was set up that contains hundreds of photos and tape-recorded excerpts of scientists and locals talking about different ice conditions and how they were formed.
Getting input from local experts, many of whom were multigenerational natives, was key, Kielland said. While they may not look at things scientifically, their observations are usually rooted in science, whether they realize it or not.
"A lot of those people are very knowledgeable," Kielland said. "They're very interested in this stuff and they have a wealth of experience."
The book and website are part of the project's public outreach and an attempt to make the information that scientists gathered "more palatable to the public," Kielland said.
"Most people aren't going to read our scientific papers," he said.
The information contained in the book is basic nuts and bolts, said Kielland. Principles such as sticking to packed-down trails because the ice is thicker than on unpacked snow, looking for steam rising off the river to identify open water, sticking to sandbars when possible, always testing questionable ice with a pole or ax and never traveling alone may seem obvious to most people who regularly travel on rivers but not those who are inexperienced in such travel.
"It's a good reminder of what some people might consider obvious but for a large segment of the public cruising around in the wintertime this is pretty novel to them," Kielland said.
The university printed 500 books, which are available for free at the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library on campus, and the book can also be downloaded from a website on the project.
Sam Demientieff, a second-generation river pilot who lives along the Chena River in Fairbanks, helped with the project. Demientieff, 74, said it was interesting listening to others who have lived and traveled on rivers much of their lives explain how they identified dangerous ice and what signs they looked for.
"We think the river freezes over when it gets cold and that's it but the river keeps running all winter under ice," he said. "It was a good experience for us to see and focus our attention on how the river freezes and how ice forms on the river."

Plum Bumble Recipe
"Since this recipe was published in our local paper in 1976, I've served it numerous times to family and friends," recalls Arlis Enburg, Rock Island, Illinois. "Similar to a cobbler, it is always a favorite at gatherings."
- 1 cup plus 5 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 cups sliced fresh plums (about 1-1/4 pounds)
- 3/4 cup pineapple tidbits
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tube (7-1/2 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, separated and quartered
- 1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, plums and pineapple. Transfer to a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish; dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar. Place biscuit pieces over hot plum mixture; brush with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until biscuits are golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

"this is easy to make and absolutely delicious. The plums are sweet and tart at the same time and the biscuits with cinnamon and sugar is the perfect topping."
