Vitalicious is Fab!
Have you tried VitaTops? I have found them to be a quick, convenient breakfast on my way to work. My 12 year old son also enjoys the convenience of making his own breakfast...which in this case doesn't require a lot of energy...
No artificial additives or preservatives...a definite selling point for me. (You keep them in the freezer for freshness...and then leave on the counter overnight to unthaw, microwave, or even toast lightly!)
My favorite flavor is the Deep Chocolate. It is fudgy and moist...100 calories, 9 grams of fiber, and 26 carbs.
Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip has my 2 favorite flavors combined, and makes a sweet 100 calorie snack.
Chocolate Mint has a fudgy cool mint flavor...nice with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. (wink wink)
Banana Nut reminds me of my mom's banana nut bread growing up...awesome with a glass of cold milk.
Some other awesome flavors are: Raisin Bran,Golden Corn (hubby's fav), Banana Fudge, Cran Bran, and several sugar free varieties as well.
There are always fabulous deals on the Vitalicious website. If you sign up for emails, you will get sale updates. You can order single boxes, cases, and even get gift memberships!
I love the fact that the website also tells me I can walk off a single Muffin Top in 15 minutes! Not bad at all.
Vitalicious also sells VitaBuns, VitaMuffins, VitaBrownies, VitaMixes, VitaSandwiches, etc...
Check back often to see the daily specials.

College Hockey:Muse, BC Win Wild One
Netminder's Save in Last Minute of Regulation Secures Victory
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College goaltender John Muse had a game he might like to forget on Friday afternoon against Clarkson. All except the final 60 seconds.
In a game where Muse (13 saves) was less than sharp, he came through when the pressure was on, robbing Clarksons Mark Borowiecki, who already had two goals on the afternoon, with 58 seconds remaining as the Eagles held on for a 6-5 non-conference victory over the Golden Knights in front of 5,689 at Kelley Rink.
That was John Muses best minute of the game, said BC head coach Jerry York of the final 60 seconds. He fully realizes that [wasnt his best performance]. Hes hard on himself and wants to play much better through the 60 minutes. Having said that, in his last minute he made some incredible saves.
The Eagles got themselves into the tight situation down the stretch by surrendering two late tallies to Borowiecki and Andrew Himelson to bring the Golden Knights within a goal. Compounding the situation, BCs Patrick Wey was called for tripping with 2:01 remaining to set up a power play for Clarkson, which pulled its goalie with 1:22 left for a two man advantage.
Clarkson head coach George Roll said the would-be tying attempt that Muse stopped was a result of a set formation that a week ago resulted in two late goals in a 2-2 tie with Harvard. It nearly worked again.
[Borowiecki] had a great opportunity, said Roll. We moved him up front last week against Harvard and created two goals and we almost had the one tonight.
While the Golden Knights might tell the tale of woe over Muses final stop, what was their Achilles heel in the game was penalties. Clarkson gave Boston College nine power plays on the night and the Eagles converted four times. BC had scored only once with the man advantage in its last 11 tries but look to be back to the form that had the Eagles 11-for-24 on the power play prior to the recent drought.
Our power play is hot, said York. Weve got some guys with skill. The [top] unit has some really good chemistry right now.
The Eagles got on the board on their second of four power plays in the first period when Cam Atkinson deflected home a Joe Whitney shot from the left point at 5:33 for the 1-0 lead.
Clarkson, though, answered immediately. Borowiecki attempted to center the pass on a rush. But once his pass was blocked and deflected back to the sophomore blueliner, he ripped a shot high blocker side on Muse to knot the game at one at 6:35.
The Golden Knights shot themselves in the foot with additional penalties midway through the frame. With Tom Pizzo already in the box for interference at 8:36, Lauri Tuohimaa was whistled for hooking just 38 seconds later giving the Eagles an extended 5-one-3.
The Eagles set up the attack on the power play and Paul Carey scored his fourth of the season firing a shot in a scrum past Clarkson goaltender Paul Karpowich (24 saves) to give BC a 2-1 lead through one.
Neither teams defense or goaltending was exceptional in the second and the result was an offensive onslaught.
Clarkson evened the game at 4:16 when Adam Pawlick banked a wrap around off of Muses right skate.
The Eagles, though, answered quickly with not one, but two, goals. Barry Almeida got the rebound of a Matt Lombardi shot at the right post at 4:48 to give the Eagles back the lead. And 59 seconds later, Ben Smith buried a cross-crease pass on the power play to give the Eagles a 4-2 lead.
Clarkson got within a goal when Matt Becas seemingly harmless wrister from the top of the right faceoff circle beat Muse blocker side at 11:53.
But as the final seconds of the period were counting down, Chris Kreider got behind the Golden Knights defense and scored on a breakaway with 21.8 seconds remaining to send the Eagled to the third leading, 5-3.
BC extended the lead early in the third when Carl Sneep one-timed home a slapper on another 5-on-3 at 3:39. But Clarkson wasnt ready to die just yet.
Once the Golden Knights got within a goal and had the man advantage for the final two minutes, Roll elected to give the team a chance to score 5-on-4 first, but then resorted to pulling Karpowich. That certainly forced the pressure and put BCs defense on its heels and thats when Muse came through.
Twelve different BC players got on the scoresheet in the game, while Borowiecki, Scott Freeman (three assists) and Beca (goal, assist) all had multi-point efforts for Clarkson.
Both teams will take the rest of the weekend off before BC travels to UMass on Friday, Dec. 4, and Clarkson heads to face rival St. Lawrence that same evening.

A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. The process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. Recordings may be simply copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers have sold recordings for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material.

Propane is an easy fuel to store for emergencies because it has an indefinite shelf life. There are, however, critically important safety precautions to keep in mind.
Twenty-pound propane cylinders have a pressure relief valve permitting fuel to escape as it expands with temperature changes. These cylinders should always be stored outside and never in a garage, shed or other enclosed space. Even when storing cylinders outside, they should be stored in a place where propane could not be trapped in a partially enclosed patio or a window well. Propane will pool on the floor or the ground and will explode with a source of ignition, or even a spark from turning on a light or flashlight, or using a cellphone.
Check with your local fire authorities for legal limits on the amount of propane you can store on your property. Failure to follow their recommendations endangers your life, the lives of your neighbors and any firefighters who may come to your residence in the event of a fire.
When storing any fuel around your home, always check your insurance policy, rental contract, building regulations and any applicable city or county ordinances.
Never use a propane device intended for outdoor use inside. This includes camp stoves and grills, which emit a large amount of deadly carbon monoxide as the propane is burned. Lives have been lost from using these devices indoors.
Cooking with a haybox saves propane
This idea comes from World War II when a pot of food was heated to boiling, then placed inside a box insulated with hay to finish cooking. A "haybox" can also be made with a cooler and a blanket wadded up inside. Make sure the cooler is at least 1 inch larger than your pot on all sides to prevent the cooler from melting. Or use a large cardboard box lined with flannel, heavy fleece or several layers of newspaper and filled with shredded paper, sawdust or some other insulating material.
Make a nest in the blanket or insulation for the pan you will use. Bring food to boil in pan and simmer, covered, for three minutes. Place the covered pan in the cooler or box, cover it with a pillow or folded blanket that fills up the entire remaining space and put on the lid, trapping the heat inside. Cooking this way will save propane as food continues to cook without the continuous use of fuel.
Haybox cooking requires a little advance planning. Food takes four times longer than the recommended recipe time to cook. For example, if your recipe normally takes 30 minutes to cook, it would need to cook in a haybox for two hours. The only exception is long-grain rice, which normally cooks in 20 minutes and takes only one hour in a haybox. Note that this method of cooking can be safely used for meals using food that is cut up. It has not been tested for cooking whole roasts or chickens.
After the food is removed, leave your haybox open for moisture to evaporate before storing it.
It is important to add enough insulation in the box to keep food at a safe 140 degrees, which is the restaurant standard for food safety. Add enough insulation for food to safely cook for four to six hours, which allows enough cooking time for anything requiring one to one and one-half hours. You choose how long you want to cook with your haybox. Be aware that cooking dry beans that are soaked will require four to six hours with this cooking method.
If your haybox has been stored in a cold garage, bring it to room temperature before using it.

The Julia Wilkins Room
King accommodation, sitting area, double Jacuzzi tub with shower, private balcony off bath.
This is the room that HGTV filmed for their show "If Walls Could Talk". Named for the mistress of the house and her daughter...Little Julia, and as it turned out, was actually Little Julia's bedroom. The family was so touched by the honor of naming the room, they have gifted the family photographs displayed on the wall. The largest in the center is that of Little Julia at age 21. Some of her linens hang over the bed and in the glass topped table over near the bay window, are treasures found in the house including a letter to Santa, dated 1913, from Little Julia, asking for "a doll and bicycle, and some clothes for the doll".
The room color was inspired by the Evans' collection of Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plates that border the upper wall. The blue platform rocker has a new life...it was found abandoned in pieces in the basement. The bath is a double Jacuzzi and features a sitting balcony off the bathroom.

Last week Motley Crue announced their retirement, sort of. Via a press conference the band announced a retirement that would begin after a two-year tour. Apparently they signed a contract that is completely valid unless they all decide to void or write up a new contract. Anyway, there is going to be a U.S. and International tour, maybe a new album, and a country tribute album. I'm sure the country tribute album will bring it all together.
They have yet to name Madison Square Garden as a venue, but I suspect it will make the final tour at some point. The last time they were at MSG was the Saints of Los Angeles tour where they also announced 'Cruefest 2' festival that very day (across the street at MuchMusic). Not only did they celebrate their news, they brought out the bands (Buckcherry, Papa Roach) on stage to sing along to "White Trash Circus."
Check out "Wild Side" from MSG while we cross our fingers and wait for more New York City tour dates. The energy of Motley Crue and Madison Square Garden deserve to come together one last time.

The dangerous woman's guide to modern life
Accepting a compliment
Accepting a compliment can be extremely hard to do, particularly if you have grown up in an environment of criticism. In fact it is a skill that may take up to a lifetime to accomplish, but it is extremely important you do.
The most cherished compliments often come out of context, and in unlikely places, and they can often leave the recipient feeling slightly lost for words. Poor compliment etiquette is when you 'deny' the compliment giver, i.e. you imply that the compliment given isn't actually true, because this means that he or she has to redouble his or her efforts and turns a charming, life-enhancing, generous gesture into slightly tedious, therapeutic reassurance.
The double-whammy is that you have also insulted the giver a little. The underlying message being that they are somehow not intelligent enough, perceptive enough, or don't know enough about you to make this call.
So acknowledge the compliment gracefully, a simple but heartfelt 'Thank you' will suffice, and let the truth in about yourself too. Gradually, without becoming vain, you will develop self-acceptance and secret confidence.
(v: Secretive confidence, Self-deprecation)
Sometimes in life you just have to let go. Going on a bender is traditionally seen as a male preserve but increasingly women are doing it too. Sometimes benders creep up on one. You know, the promise of a quick drink with a friend at the end of work turns into a big night out, or a Friday night out with mates turns into a very long, alcohol-fuelled weekend (occasionally culminating in eating tripe, shoeless, in a workman's café at 5 a.m. on a Monday morning).
A great bender is a holiday from real life: a spontaneous way of marking the end of a relationship, a divorce or to celebrate a landmark birthday. It's often a rite of passage with friends, male and female, confidences are exchanged, relationships consolidated and the unspoken rule is, as a mark of your deepening respect and love for one another, that whatever your various states of disrepair nobody's going to remind you of your extravagant pole-dancing in Trannyshack in Soho. Or maybe just a little bit…
In fact, a key feature of a bender is that you probably won't remember anything when you wake up, you may well have lost a number of your belongings and you may end up in a hotel room, though not necessarily the one that you booked for yourself the previous evening. However, fragments of memory WILL begin to return during the course of the morning and you will probably find yourself looking into the mouth of hell. You may discover that drunk-dialling and a toxic bachelor or two have entered the mix, which is the point where regret, self-doubt and paranoia begin to creep in. The two solutions are either to butch it out at work or go to bed. Relief will finally come at about 7 p.m. when the miasma begins to lift. You can, of course, attempt to guard against all these things—eat carbohydrates before you go out; drink a glass of water after every glass of champagne; appoint a drink's monitor; only take one credit card with you, and so on and so forth—but look into your heart and ask yourself truthfully and honestly whether such an evening really counts as a bender?
(v: Alcohol, Booty-calls, Booze, Breaking the rules, Cocktails, Dipsomania, Drunk-dialling, It seemed like a good idea at the time, Make the most of it, Regrets)
You are, or course, over the affair. You are out with friends, it's a Friday, and you are boldly looking forward to the future but after that third drink the small voice of doubt creeps in. Maybe it was my fault? Maybe I need to tell him how much I do love/hate him? Is he with somebody else? Is he missing me? It wouldn't do any harm to make the call. And so on and so forth… by closing time doubting Thomas has turned into a huge green glittering snake exhorting you to eat the apple. Before you know it, you are hitting speed-dial. At this point your BF will attempt to ascertain what is going on and then try to wrestle you to the floor, grab your phone and throw it in the nearest river—and not without reason, because she has spent every spare waking moment of the last three months listening sympathetically to your outpourings of rage and grief and the promise that you will never, ever speak to him again. But it's too late, the die is cast, you make the call. Even as you are doing it, you already know somewhere in your heart that when you wake up in the morning, whatever the outcome, you are going to absolutely hate yourself. There is only one solution: it's tough but mercifully simple. When an affair is over delete all phone and e-mail addresses from all relevant technology and keep it that way. He can always find you again if he wants to.
(v: Bad habits, Booty-calls, Booze, Cocktails, Dipsomania)
Life's too short.
(v: Carbohydrates)
You'd be silly not to.
(v: Allure)
Moral high ground
Don't take it. Ever. It's deeply unattractive.
(v: Grace)
Make 2.30 p.m. the time of day to make all your challenges or difficult calls. Whether it's to ask somebody out on a date, make an apology or ask your bank manager to extend your overdraft, it's an hour of non-refusal. It's post-lunch so the person has got through the worst of the morning's tasks and their blood sugar levels are reasonably high. You will, of course, still be mightily relieved if their phone goes straight to voice mail.
(v: Apologising, Grasping the nettle, Opening brown envelopes, Will you marry me?)
Walking away
Sometimes this is the only thing to do if a situation has become truly untenable.

Talk of BYU going undefeated this year speaks to a weak schedule. Three of the "name" schools didn't earn a bowl game last year. If they are going to make an impression, they'll have to do it early. In November when national attention turns to conference races and BCS standings, wins against the WAC aren't going to impress.

Does any team not hope to go undefeated? In the end, I will be watching every game. I would watch an 0-10 BYU team play Hawaii. Chances are they will lose a couple of games or more but I hope they win them all. I'm sure no one predicted a consensus National Championship in 1984. If BYU wins and everyone else loses, they could easily make it to the big game (NC).

Have you played in organized sports....ever?
6 years from now, BYU could have played in two BCS games, you haven't got a clue.
In 2000, no one thought Utah would ever play in a BCS game.
It amazes me that you think BYU looking for a national championship makes BYU fans delusional.
The Miami fans, the LSU fans, the TCU fans, the Boise State fans, etc, etc, who all want to win national championships, is that reality not part of their mindset too?
For most teams, the undefeated season, the chance to play for a championship, is the goal, it is the mindset, it is delusional by nature.
You don't have a clue what will happen in the next 6 years.
What you don't understand is that BYU, like ANY other school in the nation, wants the chance to play for a national championship, the BCS keeps that from happening. Not because BYU couldn't win it, but because BYU and all the other schools outside of the BCS aren't allowed to play in a playoff.
Just for kicks, where will your utes be in 6 years? Let's see you make a bold prediction that holds any truth.

"Talk of BYU going undefeated this year speaks to a weak schedule."
Texas in Austin (Predicted to finish #2 in Big 12. This is not 2010, this is 2011.)
TCU in Dallas (Predicted to battle BSU for MWC and auto non AQ bid)
Ole Miss in Oxford (Predicted to finish in the middle of the SEC)
Oregon State in Corvallis (Predicted to finish 3rd in North, and fourth overall in PAC12)
Hawaii in Hawaii (predicted to win WAC w/ QB will will be in Heisman conversation)
UCF at home (predicted to win conference)
Utah at home (predicted to lose to BYU)
Utah State (be careful what U say. U have them on your schedule the next two years.)
Help me understand what's weak about this schedule? It's a far tougher schedule than any non AQ has had who has made it to a BCS bowl. It's a tougher schedule than Utah has this year. I agree that it's not in the same discussion as an SEC or Notre Dame schedule, but to call it weak demonstrates a poor understanding of college football.

People fail if they don't aim high, and why not aim for the National Championship? If I aim for mediocrity at work then I'm destined to be mediocre. You can't tell me that any other school isn't aimed at the same thing. BYU's different now that they don't have a conference championship to aim for, but it's all the same even still. All teams want to succeed and success means aiming high.

Utah fans spoke of a NC last year alone more than BYU fans did the past 5 years.
Were the Ute fans delusional? I am pretty sure it will work out better for BYU
this year than it did for Utah last year.
Mendenhall, Heaps and others said that the only championship to play for was a national championship since there was not a conference championship to play for now. BYU's goal is to win every game, then see where they chips fall.
So you've heard everyone associated with Idaho never say they wanted to win a national championship. It must have taken you thousands of hours to listen to and read all of the newspaper and news conference archives to come to that conclusion.
Please answer starfarers question. It is a good one.
sir robin;
BYU's national and local relevence is proven by ESPN alone to be 10 times what your schools is.
10 games on ESPN this year at 1-2 million per.
At least 8 games on ESPN next year.
You can't even compare the two schools BYU is so far ahead. It wouldn't be fair.

Ignore the ute trolls like cowardly robin and wedgie. Pretending that BYU, or
its fans, are predicting a National Championship is simply a lie they use to try
and instigate things. But as far as BYU and its fans aspiring to win ANOTHER
national Cham,pionship, well, of course we all do. You see BYU has actually won
one, it isn't pie in the sky, never been there, never even been considered for
it, no chance it will ever happen, impossible and never in a million years, like
it is for utah. It has already happened and it could happen again if things went
just right.
I like it as a goal. I like it as something to aspire to. Reach for the top. Ignore the loser trolls as they have never come close and even in their teams best years they were never even a consideration for the National Championship. Actually they were denied even consideration for it with an amused scorn by those who actually cast votes.

In the past decade, michigan has won the Big 10 only twice (2003 and shared with Iowa in 2004) and the past 3 years they haven't even sniffed at the championship. They may be budgeting conservatively, but they certainly are not over delivering.

What is completely lost on those who myopically focus on the BCS is that the AP
National Championship isn't in anyway associated with the BCS. There is no
requirement to jump through any artificial BCS hoops. The only requirement for
winning the AP National Championship is to finish #1 in the Final AP Poll.
That's it.
--no requirement to play in the BCS championship game
--no requirement to even play in a BCS bowl
Simply impress enough AP voters that you're the most deserving team to be ranked #1 at the end of the season.
BYU did that in 1984.
And, BYU has the schedule to do that again in 2011.
Not saying it will happen.
But, unlike our short-sighted blogger believes, it's not at all "unrealistic" to believe that it could happen.

"We are going to lose a few games, but that's okay, because we are in the
PAC-12 and we are amazing no matter what happens. We can still get in the Rose
Bowl with three losses, and that is what our fans are most interested in. They
think getting in and winning a BCS Bowl is better than a National Championship,
so by golly, that's what we'll give them." - K Whittingham

MEDINA TWP. — The township Fire Department will upgrade its safety equipment with $132,896 it received from the Assistance to Firefighters Grants program.
The department will buy about 30 self-contained breathing masks for firefighters, Fire Chief Mark Crumley said. Crumley said some of the township's masks are more than 20 years old.
"Over the years, we've had to do maintenance and repairs to them to try and bring them up to date, but some of them we can no longer maintain," he said.
Crumley said the department also will purchase a tester to ensure breathing masks fit and operate correctly.
"Every year, the guys should be getting their masks tested," he said.
The department also hopes to buy handheld machines that would connect to each firefighter's mask to let the commanding officer at a fire know the location of each firefighter.
"It would just attach to their breathing apparatus," Crumley said. "The handheld device would be used by command outside the building and we would be able to tell exactly where everyone is inside the building."
The grant was awarded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The grant is competitive, and fire departments must state how they plan to use the money when applying for funding.

"CHICAGO — Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey delivered an unexpectedly blistering broadside on Tuesday against the Democratic Party's growing emphasis on income inequality, warning that the movement would "drive America toward mediocrity" and portraying its leaders, like Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, as local liberals unlikely to ignite a national cause."
Congratulations to Governor Christie on his success in fundraising. Republicans are ecstatic over Christie's performance in Chicago yesterday. He raised one million dollars in Chicago. The truth is Republicans have been distancing themselves from the governor. It is about a scandal that he caused, no one else. So now they are his cheerleaders? That doesn't pass the smell test. Still, they are applauding him. It is most amazing, because they are applauding a man who may well be a criminal, while holding conversations about their lack of trust for President Obama. No matter how you shake it, a promise that you can keep an out of date policy in no way compares to what has been done in New Jersey! The president rectified the problem, but the governor is now refusing to comply, as he said he would.
Nevertheless the NY Times has found a way to blame it all on Democrats. They wrote the following:
"Democratic Party operatives have churned out 11 different videos depicting Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey as a revenge-happy gridlock maker who cannot keep his story straight ... They are unleashing attacks ... they are coordinating strategy at the highest levels of the party ... Democrats are determined to transform him into a toxic figure, whose name is synonymous with the ugliest elements of politics: partisan bullying and backslapping cronyism ... The onslaught — some of it spontaneous, some coordinated — threatens to turn Mr. Christie's tenure into a distraction, rather than the low-risk steppingstone that aides had envisioned."
Nobody can say that Joe Scarborough, who really loves Gov. Christie, would wish him even the slightest harm. However, Scarborough weighed in on the matter.
"Monday, Joe Scarborough — the host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," which has provided hours of flattering Christie coverage over the years — raised doubts about Christie's ability to lead the Republican Governors Association while going through the scandal.
'"I trust Chris. I still take him at his word. But I'm always blunt, and the fact is, right now, he's a distraction to the RGA," Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, said on his show.
'"If Republicans' job is electing governors and you've got a guy running the RGA that has Republican candidates running away from him, that's a serious problem and he needs to sit down and do some soul searching to see whether he wants to defend charges against him or continue this. I don't think he can do both."'
As to the New York Times,I guess they forgot that Christie won by a landslide because of the democrats who voted for him. New Jersey is a blue state. Then again Christie himself has forgotten quite a lot lately, and has stated that those things which were happening around him did not come into his conscious thought. Christie may not know what's going on in his administration, but the rest of the world is not so negligent that they don't know how they are being treated. Perhaps the governor needs to be made abreast of the difference between equal income and equal opportunity.
For many American's, the inequality is a form or discrimination that cannot be denied. If ten men and ten women were given the same job at the same company at the same time that would absolutely be equal opportunity. However equal income is about how much the man makes compared to the women. There is a stark difference, and it is not one that is mediocre. A teacher will not be seeking the same salary as a CEO on Wall Street as Christie implied. That is ludicrous. Nevertheless, a female teacher who has spent just as much for her education as a male teacher deserves to be paid equally in that profession. That is income equality.
Gender Wage Gap Differs by Occupation, however, when women make equal or greater pay than a man, it is usually in a very low wage paying job. The Center for American Progress writes this;
"The median weekly earnings for all full-time wage and salary workers in 2011 were $756. Both women and men in the 4 out of 10 jobs with the smallest wage gaps notably earn below this threshold. This indicates that jobs where women don't experience a wage gap tend to be lower paying than the average. But in the 10 jobs with the worst gender wage gaps—where men earn significantly more than women—men's average weekly earnings are always at or above the median. In these jobs, men are earning more than the average worker, but interestingly women's wages fall below the national average of $756 in 4 of the 10 jobs noted above.
'Education, success, and occupational prestige are not enough to protect women from the gender wage gap. While data show that American women are in more senior managerial professions than other OECD countries, these high-achieving women are still disadvantaged by an above-average wage gap. Managerial professionals, CEOs, and administrators all rank in the top 10 occupations in which women earn less than men."
By the way, the fight to stop Volkswagen from giving their employees the right to decide whether or not they want to unionize is preposterous. The employees could only achieve a better salary. That seems to be a huge problem for the resurfacing of Grover Norquest, as well as the surfacing of the unknown Bo Watson.
"The crusade by anti-union forces in Tennessee, including the state's governor and senior senator, is as much a fight with Volkswagen management as with the UAW.
'Not only are Republican legislators accusing Volkswagen of backing the UAW, some of their leaders on Monday threatened to withhold tax incentives for future expansion of the three-year-old assembly plant in Chattanooga if workers vote this week to join the UAW."
The American people want equal pay. Money is important, after all, that is all it took for Governor Christie to win back some support from his own party.

Lady Helen Taylor's (First cousin to Queen Elizabeth II) style at the Royal Ascot horse races is oh so trendy chic and cool. Coined the badass royal fashionista Lady Helen does not disappoint.
According to staff reporter at Huff Post Live, "Lady Helen wore a bright color block ensemble complete with teal turquoise hat, clear framed sunglasses, pearls and a collection of pins rounded out her look."
Quite the avant-garde fashion statement Lady Helen makes for the Royal Ascot festivities because this is one of the biggest royal events of the year.
Ellie Krupnick, HuffPost Senior Style Editor, said, "Lady Helen is part of the royal family. She's first cousin once removed from the Queen, twenty-fifth in line for the throne and she is the grand granddaughter of King George. So she is actually legitimately a part of the royal family. We rarely see Princess Kate, Eugenie or Beatrice wear something like this."
Royal Ascot requires one to wear a hat. Hats are the biggest fashion story at the Ascot events and Lady Helen does not shy away from presenting her creative flair with her style choices.
Style reporter Rebecca Adams for The Huffington Post writes about Taylor, "She's had a pretty stylish run in the public eye, opting for an architectural Catherine Walker gown for her wedding in 1992 and hitting up fashion weeks and parties in designs by Vivienne Westwood and Louis Vuitton."
Royal Ascot 2014 has yet to be graced with Lady Helen's presence and fashion flair. Although, Princesses Eugenie, Beatrice and Anne, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Queen Elizabeth are doing their best to keep pastels the major color theme for late spring royal entire.
Prince Charles wore the same grey tux with tails on day one and two, Prince Harry dressed along with his friend Jake Warren on day one looking like members of the yellow vest boys club.
What will day three bring for us fashion hungry readers at the Royal Ascot horse races 2014? Scroll down, click on the video and view the slideshow for more about Lady Helen Taylor's trendy chic and cool style.

Boogers are funny. It's funny to say, they're funny to look at, they're even good to eat. So when Mommy wipes his boogers, Max is so furious, he jumps in the trashcan looking for them--and lands himself at the city dump!
"I'll never find my boogers now," Max laments, surveying the mountains of trash. Then he meets Trashman--an eccentric trash heap--who reminds Max that sometimes something really bad can turn into something really, really good. Besides, when it comes to boogers, there's always a next time. Ah... AHHH… CHOO!
I Want My Boogers Back! isn't just another book about boogers. This whimsical journey tackles power struggles, ownership, and the need to say goodbye on your own terms.

'Webrooming' on Amazon: How Best Buy Could Profit From the Newest Holiday Shopping Trend
Carol Kopp
No, we don't mean "showrooming." This latest phenomenon is actually the reverse.
It was one happy day on Wall Street yesterday, and the happiest of all were investors in
Best Buy
(NYSE:BBY). Its shares jumped 6.5%, closing at $39.04, making it the day's top gainer in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index
Moreover, a look at the reasons for that enthusiasm could spread some cheer well beyond Best Buy.
Best Buy was the focus of two new analyst reports, both reporting greater demand for electronics and other big-ticket items. Combined with other reports looking ahead to the holiday season, there's reason for optimism through the end of the year.
The first report, from
Investment Technology Group
(NYSE:ITG), predicts that
Best Buy will report
a same-store sales increase of 3% to 5% for the quarter that just ended, far exceeding consensus estimates.
The report attributes the improved sales numbers to consumers' increasing willingness to spring for higher-ticket items. Particularly strong gains were seen for purchases above $1,000.
Popular items included bigger, sharper televisions, even the
super-high-definition, or "4K," sets
that have not caught on previously.
Separately, a retail analyst for Stifel Nicolaus & Co. said that consumer
spending on electronics
is generally improving, and that an increasing number of consumers cited Best Buy as the store where they would shop for those products. The analyst noted a 9% increase in consumers mentioning Best Buy in early October, following a 12% increase in late September.
That would be Best Buy's best performance since 2010.
Granted, those reports and the others below are based on research completed in September, before some of our elected representatives decided that it would be a fine idea to shut down the United States government, and maybe an even better idea to default on its sovereign debt.
But let's just assume that they'll get their act together soon, that public confidence will not be jolted by a prolonged crisis, and that the following predictions hold true in the months ahead.
Investment firm Janney Montgomery Scott also reports better sales of big-ticket items like new appliances as well as home electronics. It attributes the latter to the rebound in home sales.
The annual
Holiday Shopping Survey
, from Accenture, adds more weight to a positive outlook for the rest of the year.
According to its survey, conducted in September, 21% of consumers said they plan to buy home electronics, compared to 15% a year ago. And, they intend to spend an average of $646 on gifts this year, an 11% increase over a year ago.
Overall, the Accenture survey suggests a more expansive mood among shoppers. At least, they describe their own attitude as having shifted from "cautious" to "sensible." Economic concerns were cited by 24%, down from 28% last year.
In fact, the word "sensible" doesn't begin to describe the attitude of American shoppers. They're turning bargain-hunting into a science.
For one thing, they're not just "showrooming." They're "webrooming," too.
We've all heard about the growing habit of "showrooming," or checking out a product in the store, and then buying it online at a cheaper price.
It turns out that works both ways. Wise consumers are now just as likely to go "webrooming," that is, researching a product at online retailers' sites and then heading out to a local store to buy it.
Consumers who "webroom" say they're saving on shipping costs. But they also say they like getting a real-world look at the big-ticket item that they're buying.
The Accenture survey notes that "showrooming" has gone positively mainstream in just one year. Fully 63% of consumers plan to browse in person but buy online this year.
But even more, 65%, say they'll do the reverse as well, researching products online before going out to make their purchases.
Another study, from mobile marketing firm Vibe, also concludes that a majority of consumers now engage in "showrooming" at least occasionally, prowling brick-and-mortar stores armed with smartphones that allow them to use price-comparison apps on the spot.
The Vibe study
concludes that
(NASDAQ:AMZN) is getting the lion's share of those sales. Fully 31% said they finally completed their purchases on Amazon.
Presumably, they're also "webrooming" on Amazon. But that's good news for some other retailer, one with a brick-and-mortar store.

College Hockey:Buckeyes Shut Down RedHawks
Umberger, Betz Lead OSU
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Junior R.J. Umberger recorded four points and goalie Mike Betz made 19 saves to lead No. 14 Ohio State to a shutout of No. 11 Miami, 4-0, Friday in Value City Arena. The shutout was Betz's first of the season and the first ever for OSU over the RedHawks.
The win improves the Buckeyes record to 9-4-1 overall and 6-2-1 in CCHA play. The RedHawks drop to 12-4-1 overall and 7-3-1 in the league.
OSU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second period when Umberger tipped in a Pete Broccoli shot at 9:33 of the stanza for his first score of the game. Ryan Kesler added to OSU's lead, picking up the puck after an Umberger faceoff win at the left faceoff circle in Miami's zone, and sliding it under Miami goalie David Burleigh at 15:47. OSU outshot the RedHawks, 9-5, in the period.
In the third period, Umberger put OSU up, 3-0, putting in a loose puck from just outside the Miami crease. Dan Knapp and Kesler assisted on the play, as they each got shots on Burleigh that were saved before Umberger's goal. Dave Steckel ended the scoring for the Buckeyes at the 8:39 mark. Umberger took a shot off a Steckel faceoff win that was saved and Steckel was there to put in the rebound. OSU outshot the RedHawks, 12-10, in the period.
OSU held Miami scoreless on all five of its power play chances, including a five-minute stop after Luke Pavlas was assessed a five-minute major and game disqualification for elbowing at the 17:03 mark of the second period. The Buckeyes were 1-for-5 with the man advantage.
"We got a break at the right time tonight," said Buckeye coach John Markell. "Our penalty kill was the key to the game. In the first period we got the fundamentals together. At the beginning of the second period we found our legs."
Betz stopped all 19 shots he faced for his seventh career shutout. Burleigh played 48:39 for Miami, stopping 23 shots. David Bowen played the last 11:21 and made three saves.
The teams will end the two-game series Saturday in Value City Arena.
"I think Miami is a very good hockey club and they are going to play even better tomorrow," said Markell.

WADSWORTH — The Wadsworth Public Library offered voters a chance Monday to make up their minds among candidates for five contested local races on the November ballot.
Early voting begins today.
Nineteen candidates are vying for 10 open positions: Two ward and three at-large Wadsworth City Council seats, two Wadsworth Township trustee posts and three spots on the city school board.
Seventeen of the candidates attended the library's 21st annual Candidates Forum.
All made two-minute opening remarks and then mingled with voters before a question-and-answer session began.
Each candidate had two minutes to answer questions from the audience. Each candidate in a race had an opportunity to provide answers.
Candidates were grilled on issues like smoking and alcohol use in the schools, problems facing the township and how to grow downtown Wadsworth.
Incumbent Democrat Ward 3 Councilman John J. Sharkey IV is challenged by newcomer Republican Michael Robart.
Sharkey has represented the ward since 2002 and earlier served a term as an at-large councilman.
Robart is a military veteran who recently moved to the city from Cuyahoga Falls, in Summit County.
The Ward 4 race pits 10-year incumbent Republican Bruce Darlington against Democratic challenger David Anderson.
In the contest for three at-large council seats, incumbent Democrat Patricia Haskins faces a challenge from Republicans Joseph Rodgers, the commander of the Wadsworth American Legion post; Bob Thurber, director of Downtown Wadsworth; and David Williams, owner of Williams Auto Sales.
In the contest for Wadsworth Township trustee, incumbent Jim Gardner, Bob Engler, Shawn Bouscher and William McCall are vying for two seats.
Gardner did attend the forum because of a family emergency, according to Janet Griffing, the library's marketing and public relations coordinator, who moderated the forum.
In the school board race, seven candidates are running for three posts: incumbent Chuck Pfeister; Amanda Gordon, a school-law attorney; Julie Batey, president of Wadsworth Home Youth School; Mark Casalinova, as seventh grade football coach; Donald Thomas; Jason Arnold; and Ron Mendel.
Mendel was the only other candidate who did not attend the forum.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Police are searching for a man in connection with a body found by two fishermen in the Chattahoochee River this week.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports that police have issued a warrant for 39-year-old Hajja Kennyatta Martin in the death of Ralph Taco McGhee. The warrant is for aggravated assault and felony murder.
Investigators believe Martin lived with McGhee in Decatur.
Two fishermen called police after they discovered the body on Wednesday of 39-year-old McGhee in the water near Akers Mill Road.
Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce tells WSB-TV that investigators know how the man was killed and they consider his death a homicide.

I have previously written about the long and somewhat bizarre history of the building of the Annapolis Royal to Granville Ferry bridge. While I was going through some archival images earlier today, I noticed a small collection which showed how the spans of the bridge were floated into place. Since these were a rather interesting collection of images, I figured that I should gather them together in a post.
Ten years after ice piers had been placed at strategic locations across the Annapolis River construction on a bridge was begun. The engineers who were responsible for the planning of the bridge took full advantage of the tides in the Annapolis River. Since the Annapolis Basin is an offshoot of the Bay of Fundy, the Basin, as well as part of the Annapolis River, are subject to some very impressive tidal action. In Annapolis Royal we have an average tide of about 29 vertical feet (about 8.8 meters). Knowing this, a decision was made to float the bridge spans to the piers at high tide. As the tide receded, the bridge spans would gently come to rest on the ice piers where they could be fastened in place. The barges which had floated the span into place would then return to the shore to wait for the next tide when they would be able to move another span. When it was completed in 1921, the Annapolis River bridge was supposed to be the longest metal bridge in Canada east of Montreal.
All for now,

wouldn't it be great to have that bridge again.It would be both pratical and could look quite striking. A nice easy walk across which would link the two disticts well.ReplyDelete

Hi Ryan,ReplyDelete
I just finished processing photographs of roads and bridges in Annapolis County and there was a file for the Annapolis Bridge, containing 73 images (showing the piers and the steel structure) similar to the ones you've shared here. If you're interested their reference code is: 1985-110, File 0003.

Salad. Fruit Shake. Sushi: To a lot of people, these are some of the foods that are considered without question as "healthy," but, did you know that 3 harmless pieces of the Spider roll can have 9 grams of fat?
I don't have an official answer, but I have personally observed during recent outings to Red Koi in the Gables and Sushi Siam in the Grove that the average sushi dinner has been made up of 3 rolls to share amongst 2 people. At the end of the meal of elaborate sushi rolls, not much is left. If the average roll has 8 pieces, that's 24. If each person eats 10 pieces, that's easily around 27-30 grams of fat! That's without counting carbs or soy sauce.
A better alternative would be to have 2 lighter rolls, such as the California Roll and the Spicy Tuna and then having 1 higher calorie roll like the Spider or other specialty roll like the delicious Fuji roll with volcano scallops from Red Koi.
Salads are another calorie sucker. A lettuce and chicken mix is very healthy, but add the Caesar part and you can end up with 19 grams of fat mostly from the dressing alone in your formerly "healthy" Chicken Caesar Salad.
It's very simple to keep a salad healthy. Forego the dressing or opt for light or fat free versions. Another way to add healthy fat into your diet is to use a mixture of olive oil and vinegar to make your own dressing. Some of the worst dressings are Creamy Italian Dressing and the Caesar Dressing.
Do you still see "healthy" the same way? I bet not. If you have other unexpected findings, please feel free to share.

This is the third of a five-part review of the D&D Starter Set, in which my four-year-old girl and six-year-old boy play the game without any prep. In this installment they reenact a scene from the Hobbit that culminates in a battle of two armies.
Elec was directed by his aunt, Qelline Alderleaf, to find the druid Reioth for advice on the best territory to start a farm. My six-year-old boy is a big fan of Minecraft, and that game went a long way in helping establish gaming tropes like magic weapons and armor, fighting monsters, and building stuff. In fact, the one thing that D&D lacks is the crafting-style intricacies that Minecraft offers, which is why Elec wanted to start a farm like his aunt.
They returned to Thundertree, a place Lektra knew well because it was part of background to restore it to its former glory, where they encountered twig blights and a zombie variant known as ash zombies, that poof choking dust when you hit them.
Eventually they found Reidoth, who set them on the task to drive off a dragon named Venomfang roosting in a tower. Now, Venomfang is no wyrmling -- he's a young green dragon. How in the world a four-person party of 3rd level adventurers could take this thing on is beyond me. Here's a stat comparison to give you a sense of how a comparable 3.5 edition dragon stacks up:
- 5th Edition Young Green Dragon (large): AC 18, HP 136, HD 16, Attacks: +7 bite inflicts 2d10+4 piercing damage plus 2d6 poison damage; +7 two claws inflict 2d6+4 slashing damage, Poison Breath Weapon (recharges 5-6 on 1d6 each round) 30-foot cone, DC 16 Con save for half of 12d6 poison damage (average 42).
- 3.5 Edition Juvenile Green Dragon (large): AC 22, HP 133, HD 14, Attacks: +11 bite inflicts 2d6+5 damage; +9 two claws inflict 1d8+5 damage, Poison Breath Weapon (recharges after 1d4 rounds) 40-foot cone, DC 20 save for half of 8d6 acid damage (average 28).
The 3.5 equivalent is Challenge Rating 8, which would be considered overpowering for the recommended party level of four 3rd level characters. Venomfang's breath weapon inflicts 42 points of damage on average in a 30-foot long cone. That's enough to easily encompass the tower he's lairing in. The only saving grace is Venomfang leaves if reduced to half his hit points -- still no mean feat if the party can survive his breath weapon.
Taking a page from the Hobbit, I encouraged Elec to create a distraction. He sent his wolf off into the forest, barking loudly, and when Venomfang flew off to investigate Elec and Lektra snuck in and grabbed as many coins as they could. And yes, Elec grabbed a goblet. He then proudly returned it to Reidoth, who reacted with horror and proclaimed that the dragon would track him to the ends of the earth to find that single goblet. He pointed the stalwart adventurers down a tunnel and encouraged them to flee for their lives before turning into a mouse and fleeing himself.
It turned out that tunnel led to the abandoned Tresendar Manor, occupied by the Redbrands, the organization that Elec once belonged to until they tried to rub him out. The first creature they encountered is a nothic, which has gotten an upgrade from its original incarnation in the 3.0 edition of the Miniatures Handbook.
- 5th Edition Nothic: AC 15, HP 45 HD 6, Attacks: +4 two claws inflict 1d6+3 slashing damage; Rotting Gaze 30-feet, DC 12 Con save or take 3d6 necrotic damage (average 10).
- 3.0 Edition Nothic: AC 15, HP 42, HD 5, Attacks: +7 two claws inflict 1d4+4 damage; Flesh Rotting Gaze 30-feet, DC 16 save or take 1d6 damage (average 4).
This new version is slightly harder, with one HD more than the 3.0 version (6d8) and a rotting gaze that requires a DC 12 Constitution check or take 3d6 necrotic damage. That's three times the damage of the original nothic, with higher claw damage (1d6 vs. 1d4). If you bump up the nothic's 3.0 CR from 3 to 4 as a result of these changes, this is a very difficult encounter for a four-player party of 2nd level characters (the recommended level for Tresendar Manor).
Fortunately, there's room for the creature to parley. That's a big difference in this edition of D&D, where there are frequently alternatives to talk things out. Elec promised to get the creature "food" (more corpses) in exchange for information about his brother, whom he believed was kidnapped by Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek -- the same Redbrand leader who tried to have Elec assassinated. Promising to return, they set off further in the dungeon beneath the manor.
After ambushing four drunken ruffians in the middle of a game of chance, they moved on to face Glasstaff himself, who fled for his life. Elec and Lektra pursued Glasstaff through a secret door back into the cavern where the nothic lurked. Glasstaff demanded the nothic protect him, shouting for the guards as he ran. Three bugbears and a goblin joined from the opposite side of the cavern to protect their leader. Things looked grim...
But then six cultists wearing black cloaks cut to resemble dragon wings and black leather masks in the shape of stylized dragon horns appeared at the tunnel entrance. The leader of the dragon cultists, Favric, demanded the return of Venomfang's treasure. Glasstaff laughed in his face.
He stopped laughing when Venomfang reared up behind Favric and declared that the new manor would be his lair.
All hell broke loose. The nothic unleashed its flesh-rotting gaze on Favric, melting him into a puddle of goo. The cultists engaged the bugbear guards. Elec and Lektra fired bows at Glasstaff. Venomfang took a deep breath...
And easily swept the tunnel with his poison breath. One neat thing about 5th Edition is that it lists average damage, so in fast battles where DMs don't want to roll dice, it's easiest to just take the average. The average of 42 points of damage eliminated everything in the cavern including the cultists (whom Venomfang thought were a bunch of incompetent idiots) except our heroes (who were at the far end, out of range) and the nothic (with just three hit points left). Realizing with its weird insight ability that Venomfang was a bit of a coward, it told Elec and Lektra to throw everything they had at the dragon.
It turned its flesh rotting gaze on Venomfang even as Elec moved into position with one of the wolves to sneak attack the dragon. Lektra scored a critical with her greatsword, and thanks to the wolves' assistance (who get advantage when attacking within 5-feet of an ally), they barely managed to inflict half of Venomfang's hit points, or 68 points of damage.
Venomfang fled back down the tunnel, swearing revenge. The nothic, delighted by the huge number of "food" available and frightened that the PCs might slay it out of spite, agreed to parley.
The nothic's weird insight proved quite useful in unearthing secrets it could use against the Redbrands. It explained that the Black Spider hired Iarno to keep the Pahndalin population under control, that he was searching for Wave Echo Cave for the Forge of Spells (a tool to create powerful magic items), and that the three bugbears were sent by King Grol at Cragmaw Castle. The nothic didn't know how to get to Wave Echo Cave, but did know how to get to Cragmaw Castle and shared a mental map of the route. It reinforced that the Black Spider had Elec's brother hostage in Wave Echo Cave and King Grol would know how to get there.
The adventurers returned back to the Alderleaf farm to rest up, buy new supplies and armor, and prepare for the Cragmaw Castle assault.
