SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- The government on Monday announced a set of measures aimed at revitalizing the country's sluggish real estate market, including tax breaks for first-time homeowners and a cut in supply of new homes to keep prices from falling.
The measures are the first of their kind under the Park Geun-hye administration, which came into office late February, but they mark a complete turnaround from the previous policy where the government sought to curb housing prices by increasing supply.
"The government will break with its earlier stance of suppressing demand and expanding supplies that was adopted during a phase of price hikes, and seek to ensure an early recovery of the housing market through tax and financial incentives, along with relaxation of its regulations and its involvement in the market," the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a press release.
The move comes as the country's real estate market, especially the housing market, is undergoing what many believe to be the worst downturn in the country's history, causing serious problems for the country's construction industry and the whole economy.
There were over 73,000 unsold new homes in the country as of the end of February, the ministry said earlier. The average price of South Korean homes dipped 0.26 percent from a year earlier in January, posting an on-year drop for 10 consecutive months.
To curb the apparent oversupply of homes, the government has decided to cut the number of new public housing units from the current 70,000 per year to 20,000, and to limit the size of all new public housing units to below 60 square meters.
In addition to cutting supplies, the government seeks to encourage house purchases through various tax incentives and financial support.
Any household with a combined annual income of less than 60 million won (US$53,800) will be completely exempt from the acquisition tax when they purchase a house worth less than 600 million won and 85 square meters in space, according to the ministry.
The total amount of the government mortgage fund will also be doubled from 2.5 trillion won to 5 trillion won to offer mortgages to more people. The annual interest rate on government mortgage loans will also be lowered from the current 3.8 percent to between 3.3-3.5 percent.
Monday's measures also include incentives for multiple homeowners.
Anyone who purchases a new or unsold housing unit of less than 900 million won will be completely exempt from property sales taxes for five years following the purchase.
Many of the proposed measures are still subject to parliamentary approval, but the government said it will work to implement them at the earliest date possible.
"The government believes these steps will be an opportunity for the real estate market to free itself from excessive government involvement and regulations in the past and restore its ability to self-adjust," it said.

My LO has reflux and the ped told me to give him rice cereal when he is 3 months one in the morning and another one in the evening. Do you think 3 months is too early to introduce solid food? Is anybody give their LO solid food at 3 months old?
Rice cereal at 3 months
Well, our ped said no solids until 6 months (that seems to be the new standard). However, we have no health issues. Trust your doctor and also follow your gut! :)

My ped said to start rice cereal at 4 months and other baby food at 6 months. My baby doesn't have any kind of reflux issues, so three months doesn't seem that early to me.
I did with my first DD (not for reflux, just as an intro to solid foods) but that was 10 years ago and the recommendation for introduction of solid foods has been pushed back over the years. I think back then 3-4 months was the standard and now, of course, it's 4-6 months. If your pediatrician told you to do it, then do it if you feel comfortable with it. That said, if you are uncomfortable, just ask your pediatrician about some alternative reflux treatments (ie meds or a rice-starch-enriched formula) and hold off on the solids for a few more months. Certainly once your start feeding solid foods you introduce a whole new pain-in-the-butt factor into parenting because you have to plan your schedule around cereal feedings and pack food, utensils, bibs, etc. For that reason I now try to hold off as long as possible.

We did this with DD, who is now 3 and because of reflux. Pedi told me that with this new LO to try to hold off on rice cereal until at least 4 months. He only recommended starting at 3 months if there were issues.
Do your research, talk with Pedi, and do what you feel is best for your LO
My daughter is 2.5 months and spits up all the time (after every meal, sometimes more than once). We went to the ped. today and she said to mix 1 teaspoon of rice cereal with every oz. of formula or expressed breast milk that we feed her. She said it would make her food stay down a little bit better. We've only given her one bottle today (she is mostly breastfed) but so far so good! The doctor said if this doesn't work we would try meds for reflux, but I'd much rather her have a little bit of cereal :)
i have been giving my baby rice cereal since she was 1 month because the breastmilk was not holding her and i have no problems
My ped said no solids til 4months but if its for reflux and youd kids doc said to do it then im sure its ok. I asked my dad lastnight when he and mom started giving solids to us kids and he said around 2-3 months. And shit, that was in Montana so he was probably giving us mushed up grouse or bear or something lol.

This is the Debate Team, where nobody minds their own goddamn business.
Thank you for sharing your experience, everybody. I will try to give him a little bit to see if that would work for him :)
you are not supposed to use cereal until close to 6 mos and honestly you can skip it and go right to actual food since cereal is only to practice eating not for any actual value.
BUT for many kids it has helped them with reflux.. if your ped said to use it then i would try it.. It wont help fill them up, or hold them or sleep longer but it might coat the tummy to help with acid and its worth a try. A friend of mine did with both her DD's... you might still have to use med's

Just last week my ped also said to give my daughter rice cereal for her reflux. I was skeptical as well but it has made a HUGE difference for her. She also told me to have her somewhat elevated, especially during naps, to help her sleep. All I know is that within a day my 3 month old went from being fussy nonstop to barely crying at all.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Subaru Tribeca
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.5
With a number of 7-passenger SUVs on the market, what's so special about the 2012 Subaru Tribeca? For starters, every Tribeca is equipped with an advanced and capable all-wheel-drive system, a comforting thought for those whose daily commute sometimes includes snow, rain or even dry, curvy roads. Subaru's unusual boxer-engine design lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and improves vehicle stability, and the Tribeca rates well in the government's front- and side-impact crash tests. The Tribeca's roomy interior coddles its passengers and stimulates its driver with loads of features. And while the same enthusiasm is harder to generate for the styling of this largest Subaru ever, it's pleasantly attractive, thanks to rhinoplasty in 2008 to address the snout with which it came to market.
If you're a Subaru devotee whose family is too large for an Outback or Forester, the 7-passenger Tribeca is the logical choice. First-time Subaru buyers will find the Tribeca's good fuel economy, confident handling, strong resale and proven reliability very inviting.
If you need room for seven adults, the Tribeca's child-sized third-row seating falls short, and the Tribeca's side-curtain airbags do not extend to protect the third-row passengers.
Other than a revised head-restraint design, the Subaru Tribeca sees no major changes for 2012.
A few minutes behind the wheel and it becomes evident the Tribeca is not your run-of-the-mill SUV. The handling is responsive, and the steering firm and linear. Driving...
... into sharp curves yields some mild body lean, but overall it's evident that the low center of gravity of its unique drivetrain enhances stability and confidence. The all-wheel-drive system splits power in a 45/55 proportion that favors the rear wheels. If a tire loses grip, power is immediately transferred to the wheels with a better handle on the situation. The 3.6-liter "boxer" engine delivers good performance, while improved shift points programmed into the automatic transmission result in less gear-changing when climbing hills or moving through varying traffic.
Split/reclining/folding 2nd-row seats
Beyond the expected 60/40-split tumbling feature, the second-row seatbacks fold down individually in a 40/20/40 configuration, allowing the narrow middle section to make way for skis or divide a pair of arguing kids. In addition, the seats slide fore-aft nearly eight inches, and the seatbacks recline, making this one of the most versatile seats in its class.
Dual-zone climate control and rear-cabin a/c
While abundant safety features are a given in a Subaru, the Tribeca's generous luxury exceeds any Subaru to date. Dual-zone climate control for the front cabin features air filtration, while a separate system for the back rows helps make almost any seat in the house an agreeable one.
Excellent fit and finish, appealing materials and an uncommon dash design are the hallmarks of the 2012 Subaru Tribeca interior. The wave-shaped dashboard visually delights, but its severe curve places some radio and heating controls at odd angles from the driver. Digital readouts for fuel economy, temperature and information are housed in a large, recessed binnacle properly set at eye level. Convenient tilt-and-slide second-row seats combine flexible comfort with easy third-row access. We applaud the ample distribution of cup holders and wide front seats, which also feature adjustable lumbar support for both driver and passenger. Useful features include an auxiliary audio input jack, as well as optional GPS navigation, rearview camera and second-row DVD entertainment system.
The original 2006 Tribeca's face was unique, if not beautiful. A quick refresh in 2008 brought about the more palatable, if somewhat generic, front end it wears today. The 2012 Subaru Tribeca's grille features horizontal slats below the familiar Subaru star-cluster badge flanked by large headlights and front fenders that impart a strong road presence. Large side mirrors and windows, along with narrow roof pillars, help with outward vision. Around back, the Tribeca touts wraparound taillights and a sporty rear valance under its large liftgate. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels, a taut rear suspension and an impressive 8.4 inches of ground clearance lend it a confident stance that its handling backs up.
The entry Tribeca 3.6R Premium features a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine, 5-speed automatic with SportShift manual function, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), 4-wheel ABS disc brakes, 18-inch alloy wheels, front side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags for the first and second rows, heated power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, heated power front seats (8-way driver/4-way passenger) with lumbar adjusters, 60/40-split/reclining/sliding second-row seats, 50/50-split third-row seats, four power windows, remote keyless entry, 6-speaker stereo with MP3-compatible CD player, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear-cabin air conditioning and privacy glass. The 3.6R Limited adds leather, 10-speaker harman/kardon audio, Bluetooth and satellite radio. The top Touring trim adds xenon headlights, moonroof and a rearview camera.
In typical Subaru fashion, the entry-level trim, Tribeca 3.6R Premium, offers nearly no options, but it's well-equipped to begin with. Upgrades available on the midline 3.6R Limited include a moonroof package with a rearview camera (the latter is also available by itself), a touch-screen navigation system, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system. With the moonroof package standard on the top-level 3.6R Touring, its only options are the navigation and rear-seat entertainment. Subaru dealers also offer a large selection of accessories, from cargo carriers to a remote-start system.
Subaru offers a single drivetrain combo in the Tribeca, a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine producing 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, and symmetrical all-wheel drive. With its low profile and naturally balanced design, in which the pistons lay flat in a horizontally opposed configuration, the boxer engine and all-wheel drive provide a confident feeling of stability even when taking corners, unusual for a 7-seater SUV. Power is more than sufficient for such a heavy vehicle, while fuel economy is surprisingly good.

"My husband is 6'6"& I am 5'9". We bought the B9 as it was called back in 2006. We have 180,000 miles on this vehicle. I did my research when we had a baby & we must have our children in a rear facing child safety seat. I dragged that child carrier all over the place trying to fit it in vehicles & still be able to drive without eating my knees. If I ate my knees I knew my husband would. For the price under $30,000 it was in our price range & we weren't pretzels. Loved this vehicle even more when we no longer needed an infant seat. This vehicle has been up & down the East Coast, has traveled to the West Coast & back. It has ALWAYS been comfortable & great to drive. This B9 has been in 2 accidents & still is great. My husband does as much maintenance as possible & and all has been good. Now at 180,00 miles we have hit our first snag & that is a misfire in 1 of the cylinders. My husband has had nothing but frustration with Subaru from getting an accurate manual etc.... Being a wife I tell him to take to a mechanic but not until he spent $1000.00 in tools & parts. he gave up. I hope to have our Subie back home soon because it will be taking another trip from East Coast to West."

Problems range from $6 - $600 a pop - you name it, something's happening - AC, engine, radiator, lights, etc This is my first subaru and although they tend to get very high safety ratings, if this is a representation of the reliability, i'm not impressed.

I have purchased 2 other new cars over the years (Chrysler). Both of these cars had to be traded in and only made it to the 165,000 mile mark. My Subaru is still going strong.

Sudden unease in the palsy
rattling each word, keeping
the voice more stable than
the pen, moving around images,
bobbing in the ripples of names,
what a strange sea this world
has become, what dangers float
below the surface, where breaths
become impossible. Best not open
your eyes while submerged in it.
The terror might make the wading
seem futile, less like survival than
the real sharpness moving around
down there. Rocks worn jagged by
the molten movement of time, jetting
up with the intensity of an entire
planet, only to be cooled instantly
as a monument to the powers of
the universe, subdued by its own
skin, fields of these towers make homes
to the strangest, most terrifying
predators. Webs hang high above
the summits, invisible amongst
the mucky flow, adhesive as death,
counting on the prey to wind themselves
further and further down, impaling itself
on the serrated peaks. The worms, so small,
finally move up on slimy bellies, from nests
deep in the crevasses, millions of them,
at the first trace of blood in the brine, devouring
their struggling catch, usually a billion times
the size of any individual, completely, then
each stands on end, every one of them, and
they release their single strand straight up,
anchoring it, before they head back into
the still unseen bottom to finish off
any bones that may have fallen further down.

Some blame the Everett water treatment facility, and others blame the Cedar Grove composting plant.
To get to the bottom of this smelly mystery, city officials are trying to trace where exactly the stench is coming from using small devices called e-noses.
"These devices are an emerging technology and we're using them because they're the best technology to use," said Craig Kenworthy with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, who is conducting an air-stench study in Everett and Marysville.
From now until November they'll use e-noses -- and professional sniffers too.
"They had to go through passing a smell test," Kenworthy said.
Cedar Grove is facing two lawsuits from neighborhoods over possible stenches from their facility. While a company spokesperson says they can't talk about the litigation, she did say since human smell is subjective they're hoping technology will prove they're not the one that smells.
"When you combine it with meteorology you can say, OK, these chemicals were coming across the e-nose and the wind and the meteorology would indicate that that was coming from this particular source," Kenworthy said.
Officials say the smells are not harmful, just stinky. And in the end, Kenworthy says they're confident they'll pin-point the culprit.
The results of their sniff test should be released in November.

Carlos Osorio, Associated Press
MILFORD, Mich. — One day after a feisty debate, Mitt Romney criticized Republican rival Rick Santorum and courted tea party voters Thursday in a pair of primary states separated by nearly 2,000 miles.
"I appreciate the work you're doing. I appreciate your willingness to get out of your homes," he told an audience of tea party members in suburban Detroit, an appearance designed to let him reach out to a part of the electorate that tends to favor his campaign rivals over him.
Romney drew applause when he attacked President Barack Obama as uninformed about the workings of the American economy and called him "a man comfortable living with trillion-dollar deficits."
But he largely sidestepped when asked how he could be able to counter Obama in a debate in the fall campaign if the president brought up similarities between the health care law Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts and the health care overhaul passed by Congress that Republican contenders have vowed to repeal.
That was an evident reference to a requirement for individuals to purchase coverage — at the heart of both laws — but Romney's answer omitted that topic. Instead, he said, "The first thing I'd say to him is, 'You say you copied (the Massachusetts law), how come you didn't give me a call? I'd have told you what worked what did not work.'"
He added that the federal law was too expensive, raised taxes and cut $500 billion from Medicare over a decade.
Romney threw a glancing blow at Santorum, recalling that the former Pennsylvania senator had said in a debate in Mesa, Ariz., on Wednesday night that he had voted for President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind education law even though he didn't like it.
"He said, 'You know, you've got to take it for the team now and then.' Well, my team is the people of the United States of America."
That was Romney's message earlier in the day in Arizona, as he sought to upend Santorum's image as a principled defender of conservative ideals Thursday by describing him as just another give-and-take politician.
Michigan and Arizona both hold primaries on Feb. 28. Romney is heavily favored to win Arizona and claim all 29 delegates at stake, but Santorum is making an unexpectedly strong bid for an upset in the second contest, where 30 delegates are on the line.
Aides to Romney say Santorum opened himself to the attacks with a somewhat anguished explanation of his reluctant vote for the Bush-era school program in Wednesday's televised debate. Romney hoped to stop his chief rival's momentum on a day when Santorum was quietly raising money.
But Obama wasn't helping. His allies aired anti-Romney ads in Michigan while the president campaigned in Florida, a crucial swing state that GOP candidates can't afford to re-visit until their nominee is settled.
A Romney setback in either Michigan's primary or Arizona's on Tuesday would be embarrassing, or worse. His campaign seemed grateful for Santorum's unsteady showing in what may have been the GOP campaign's last big debate.
"It was against the principles I believed in," Santorum said of the Bush education law during the debate. "But, you know, when you're part of the team, sometimes you take one for the team."
Santorum also struggled in the debate to explain his congressional votes for earmarked spending and for a bill that included money for Planned Parenthood despite his "personal moral objection" to the organization, which provides abortions for low-income women.
"I don't know that I've ever seen a politician explain in so many ways why he voted against his principles," Romney said Thursday at an Associated Builders and Contractors meeting in Phoenix.

Ubicación perfecta, un sitio no muy ruidoso y tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días agradables en Madrid.
Die Lage ist einfach unschlagbar. Direkt eine U-Bahn Station vor der Haustür. Zu Fuß alles sehr schnell zu erreichen. Ist zwar im 6.Stock aber ein Aufzug ist vorhanden. Bitte an Toilettenpapier denken, wenn ihr ankommt. Wir hatten nämlich keins und das war etwas unangenehem. Ansonsten alles gut, bis auf den Schimmel im Schlafzimmer.
We had a great time here! The place is huge, clean and perfectly located: we all enjoyed the sunny breakfast in Plaza Sant'Ana! I recommend it for groups!
ヌースavons ETEマドリード場所だけでなくデアパルトマンDANSをラヴィ。
Nous avons été ravi de l'appartement bien placé dans Madrid.
Nos quedamos encantados con el apartamento bien situado en Madrid.
We stayed at a big appartment in Valverde Street, close to La Gran Via and Puerta del Sol, newly renovated, with 3 bedrooms, nice Kitchen, one bath with shower and the other with bath tub, jakusi, (not used). Very comfotable, quiet, in front of the street is a disco that we almost did'nt hear.
Host offerd us an other key for the apartment, since if you are more then 2 Persons you need at least 2 Keys, but their never arrived. Apartment was clean, Kitchen was clean, but not at all, there was oil on the Kitchen and cooking pat hat oil, 2 Glases were broken, No tea can or coffe can to heat wateer to prepare tea or cofee. Floor towels, when you get out of the shower were missing, very important for me.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is close to a nice area but the street itself is not that nice and very very noisy, we never got the invoice for our stay (therefore couldnt get it refunded), they charge extra for late check in (a lot) and the apartment was not so nice for such a high price.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
we reserved this apartment but we have been moved to another apartment located at CALLE POSTAS 8 of the same owner. The apartment has really nice interior design,and its in the center of madrid, a perfect location.But the whole stay we did not have an internet and the tv at the living room was not workin, we phoned the person in charge and they told us they gonna send someone to fix it but nobody came.Another thing is warm water is not enough for 4 persons, and to think the apartment is for 8 persons, so there were times some of us had to shower cold water. But the worst of all, it was the last day when we noticed that the warm water coming out was dirty, of like yellowish color.Before we left we informed the person in charge so they fix it. But the whole vacation was great despite of these.
Una estancia muy buena y en muy buen sitio,sin duda lo recomiendo a cualquiera.y sin ningún problema con recogida y entrega de llaves.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)
Kaskade, fans relish rare, intimate DJ set at Oak Lounge
DJ Kaskade probably could have sold out the Rave's 3,500-person-capacity Eagles Ballroom Friday. Instead, he played the intimate Oak Lounge for a couple hundred people.
It was the last stop of the Redux tour, a 12-show run that took the electronic dance music star to tiny clubs — and cities like Milwaukee and El Paso, Texas, instead of Chicago, New York or Los Angeles. Kaskade has said the tour was intended to recapture the vibe of his club gigs 10 years ago, before his mega-popularity, "when it was all about the music." »Read Full Article
Skylight Music Theatre shows why 'Hair' is still vital
Here's what's truly obscene: Nearly 50 years after the revolution called "Hair," we still struggle with its chaste nude scene — even as we casually absorb nightly images of dead bodies from the world's killing fields.
That's why "Hair" remains vitally relevant, as is clearer than ever in Skylight Music Theatre's stirring production, which opened Friday under the direction of Ray Jivoff (stage) and Viswa Subbaraman (music). Much as I liked the touring version of the Broadway revival that stopped here in 2011, this "Hair" is even better. »Read Full Article(2)
Rodriguez returns from obscurity with sold-out show
Neglected genius, comeback kid, amiable relic: the 71-year-old singer-songwriter onstage at the Riverside Theater Friday night embodied all those personae.
Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, known by fans simply as Rodriguez, had been an erased footnote in the United States, even in his home city of Detroit. Unknown to him, his music had become wildly popular in South Africa, and the 2008 and 2009 reissues of his two LPs — 1970's "Cold Fact" and 1971's "Coming From Reality" — and the award-festooned 2012 documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" made powerful arguments against his obscurity. »Read Full Article

Buzz Rebuttal: 17 Cooking Gadgets That Will Actually SAVE Humanity
A few days ago, Buzzfeed Food served up (get it? served. Zing!) a pretty humorous article, 17 Cooking Gadgets That Will Destroy Your Faith In Humanity. However, the Buzz was a little harsh on some of these creations! A lot of them were actually pretty cool and as a lazy person I would probably pay for some of them. After seeing the outraged comments of good people who just want to defend time-saving kitchen utensils, I knew I had to create a rebuttal.
1. The Robo Stir
Okay this one is easy. Why would you NOT want a robot mixing your food? It's like you have a butler from the future.
2. The Perfect Meatloaf Pan
Ummmm. Okay sorry. I was blinded/distracted by how disgusting that meat loaf looks. Seriously Buzz? Did you see how fast that meat loaf flew out of that pan? Amazing! No more burnt edges for meat loaf fans. I'm going to stop talking about this now because "I would do anything for love" just popped into my head.
I think eating that loaf is the one thing Meat Loaf won't do for love.
3. Fat Magnet
Can I get one of these for my love handles? Cheaper than lipo. :/
4. Soda Caddy
Soda Caddy! You would be the coolest soccer mom at that pizza party.
5. The Dog Dicer
True story: When I was in the 2nd grade a kid at school CHOKED ON A WHOLE HOT DOG. And it was disgusting and terrible. He was okay, but this invention does reduce that from happening ever again. Check your facts Buzzfeed, that kid was the 1%. I just got real.
6. The Magic Tap
We have automatic doors don't we? Same thing. Give me that automatic pour all day long. I want my drinks faster. Think of the time you will save. Plus, I'm pretty sure Obama has one of these and he's a busy man.
7. Inflatable Buffet
Again easy. Don't buy this only if you don't want to be a PIMP at your next pool party. This inflatable buffet has multiple party uses, is water proof and in general just plain impressed with its own badassery. Moving on.
8. My Spoon & My Bowl
As Buzzfeed commenters pointed out this is clearly for little kids. Or the hung over.
9. The Pasta Boat
I have been in my office plenty of times wishing I had the tools to whip up some pasta. Sadly, I didn't have the pots, pans or stove necessary. Also, who wants to be the office jerk boiling water? This is the microwavable dream office workers have been craving.
10. Cupcake Secret
I don't want to be friends with someone who wouldn't want a surprise in their cupcake. Also, come on Buzz, you honestly think the spikes stay in the cupcake? Medieval torture tools and cupcakes aren't even on the same level.
11. Better Bagger
Humans only have two arms, but with The Better Bagger now you have FOUR. Helpful.
12. The Bacon Wave
See #9 and replace pasta with bacon.
13. Chips & Dips
This is the one that made me mad. I need this for my Friday- night- in- bed- Netflix- date- nights WITH MYSELF. Stop hating Buzzfeed. I don't want chips and or dips all over my bed.
14. The Party Plate
This is for people who are tired of other people judging them all the time. So… hipsters. Could you not imagine a hipster walk into a Brooklyn loft party with one of these babies? I can and it's glorious.
15. The Bottle Cap Buddy
Bugs in beers are no joke. And why stop at bugs? Don't let anything fall in your beer, ever. The Bottle Cap Buddy also helps you keep track of which beer is yours with its brightly covered caps. Cause I can't be the only person who has been overly possessive of their beer. Another true story time: One time I brought my own beer to a BYOB party and someone drank all my beer. That wouldn't have happened with Bottle Cap Buddy!
16. Rotato Express
I give this thing 10,000 points for its awesome name. Rotato Express. Its name says exactly what it does. Potatoes are a bitch to peel no matter what all those annoying Pinterest "Time-Saver" cooking tips tell me.
17. The Rollie Eggmaster
All I know is that this looks like an egg push pop. I will give it points for making me want a push pop.
So I mean you can fight about whether these products are either amazing or amazingly terrifying. No one really cares, buy what makes you happy. It's that simple.
Seriously Chips and Dips, I'm coming for you.
P.S. Do yourself a favor and watch the infomercials in the links. Pure gold.

Catalogue entry
Julio González
T01608 Visage sévère
(Stern Face) 1936
Inscribed 'J.G. | 1936' b.l.
Pen and watercolour on off-white paper, 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 (24 x 16)
Presented by Roberta González 1972
Lit: Josette Gibert, Julio González Dessins: Projets pour Sculptures: Figures (Paris 1975), p.89 repr.
This is from a large series of drawings of stylised heads done in 1936-7, of which some thirty or so are rather similar in treatment to this work, with block-like forms and cubic, angular planes (see Gibert, op. cit., especially pp.64-8 and 90). All those most closely related are dated 1936 and some, probably done a little later than this and showing a more abstracted stage, have a precise date between 20 and 25 October.
González made about thirty-five sculptures of heads in the 1930s in various media, including stone carvings, welded iron sculptures, and pieces modelled in plaster or plastilene for bronze casting. The ones closest to this in treatment are 'Small Silver Mask', in silver, and 'Small Reclining Head', in plaster for bronze casting, both made in 1935-6.
[All the drawings by Julio González given to the Tate are authenticated on the back by his daughter Roberta González and inscribed with a title and date, or approximate date. The titles are used in the catalogue entries, but the dating has been made more precise wherever possible. (Julio González's drawings are usually dated from about 1934 onwards, but the great majority of the early drawings are undated).]

Books Lunch Date: The Lemur
posted by July 18 at 12:13 PMon
(A few times a week, I take a new book with me to lunch and give it a half an hour or so to grab my attention. Lunch Date is my judgment on that speed-dating experience.)
Who's your date today? The Lemur, by Benjamin Black, who is the pen name for John Banville.
Where'd you go? Ali Baba.
What'd you eat? Falafel gyro, fries, and a soda ($7.10).
How was the food? I'm a little disappointed, honestly. The fries were great, they were cooked just right and spiced perfectly, too. And I ate at Ali Baba a long time ago and was blown away by the falafel. But the Gyro was covered in this beige, pasty, mayonnaisey glop. It wasn't the usual tzatziki; it was closer to McDonald's special sauce. The reviews on our page for Ali Baba are roundly thrilled by the place, and my memory of it is much better than my experience this time. I'll try it again sometime, but it's down to last-chance status.
What does your date say about itself? Banville, who has been much more successful writing crime novels as Benjamin Black than he has writing literary fiction as John Banville, wrote The Lemur as a serial thriller in the New York Times' Sunday Funny Pages. It's about a researcher who's dug up some nasty truths about a biographer's subject. The researcher turns up dead, and the biographer has to figure out what's going on.
Is there a representative quote? "They walked east along Forty-fourth Street and Glass at last got to smoke a cigarette. The fine rain drifted down absent-mindedly, like ectoplasm. The trouble with smoking was that the desire to smoke was so much greater than the satisfaction afforded by actually smoking. Sometimes when he had a cigarette going he would forget and reach for the pack and start to light another. Maybe that was the thing to do, smoke six at a time, three in the gaps between the fingers of each hand, achieve a Gatling-gun effect."
Will you two end up in bed together? Yes. I hadn't realized until I started writing this Lunch Date that the novel was written serially, and that definitely changes the way that I'll read itserially-written books, like Dickens, do better if you read a chapter and set the book aside for a whilebut it seems like a taut little noir novel and it's well-written. It should take a couple hours, all told, and it seems enjoyably dark.

Ready in 1 hour 25 minutes
I have tweaked this recipe a few times over the years and I have to admit that this is by far one of the best New England Clam Chowders you will ever come across. I have yet to taste one like it , although I have tasted many and they were great as well. I feel few people can really grasp the unique flavor that is within a good chowder. This is my very own recipe and I have made it for over 25 years. I have always received great reviews.. please feel free to try as is or to try tweaking it to your palate. CHEERS!!
369 people want to try | 544 have favorited
1. Saute bacon in soup pot and cook on medium low heat until almost crispy. (If you have any additional bacon fat that you have happened to save add 2 tablespoons to this as the bacon flavor makes all the difference.)
2. Add onion and celery, cook until translucent.
3. Add garlic, pepper, thyme and chicken stock.
4. Add clam juice, white wine (if using ) or sherry if no wine. Carefully stir while still allowing to simmer.
5. Add potatoes, (the purpose of the 3 sizes is so that some will break down and others will remain whole, giving great texture to chowder.)
6. Cover and let cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
7. Stir occasionally so potatoes won't stick or burn to the bottom of pan.
8. Add milk and cream keep stirring carefully.
9. In a separate small saute pan, melt butter and mix flour with it to make a ROUX..
10. Once the chowder is just beginning to come to a slow boil, stir in the roux and let it slightly thicken the chowder. ** Add a little at a time and gauge the thickness based on your preference.**
11. Turn the heat down to very low and let it just set and simmer but NOT BOIL !! for approx 25 minutes.
12. ** IMPORTANT ** Add your canned or fresh minced clams the last 10 minutes !! Very important so you don't over cook clams. They will become rubbery... Still edible! Just rubbery lol
total cooking time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Basic Bread
I recommend pairing it with this recipe
"Change Basic Bread recipe to make 2 to 4 (depending on size)bread bowls, and the bread can be seasoned with herbs or garlic butter." — ckmoney
Outback Steakhouse Clam Chowder
Personally, I prefer making it this way
"This soup will definitely stick to your ribs and serves as a perfect first course or entree. Creamy rich with a little peppery heat, and simply loaded with clams; it tastes great in a bread bowl!" — Firebyrd
Crockpot Seafood Chowder
A variation on this recipe
"Any combination of white fish works in this versatile recipe. Experiment!" — Firebyrd

carlosbrizuela 2y agoLove this recipe. The only change I make is not adding the milk.
Dkrelleum 2y agoNot the best clam chowder, but it was good.
tlhauptmann 2y agoMade this tonight, used fresh razor clams and vegetarian vegetable broth instead of chicken stock cuz that's what I had and this was THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER we've ever had!! It was so amazing. Thank you for a delicious dinner my entire family enjoyed!!
jbcoyote21 2y agoThe guys on the tugboat loved it!
shanellesundin 2y agoI made this tonight and added quite a bit more bacon and use fresh razor clams. It turned out AMAZING!!! Thanks for the recipe!
STbre 2y agoThis turned out wonderful, it was only my second time making clam chowder and my family loved it. Thanks for sharing!

In the last week of games for the Miami Heat, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have all been listed on an injury report. Both James and Bosh have actually missed games.
The result: Miami has lost their last four games.
The Heat responded to a mediocre start this season by winning 21 of their next 22 games; however, this last week has not been too kind to Miami.
After a tough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Heat struggled without James, losing to the Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls. On Tuesday, Miami fell in overtime to the Atlanta Hawks in one of their worst offensive efforts of the season.
This begs the question: Is this Heat team still the team to beat?
Apparently, Phil Jackson doesn't think so.
Jackson commented this week that he does not see the Heat getting by the Boston Celtics. Seems like tough criticism from the coach of the team that the Heat beat by 16 points on Christmas Day.
Still, Jackson does have a point with the Heat struggling. The Heat can point to several reasons for their recent troubles. Obviously, injuries have played a major role in the losses. Without LeBron, the Heat are a completely different team. Even without Bosh, Miami severely lacks depth and talent in the front court.
How many games will Miami win this season?
The recent losing streak has highlighted the fact that this Heat team does not have much talented depth outside of Wade, James and Bosh. There is absolutely no offense from the center position and point guards Carlos Arroyo and Mario Chalmers have been inconsistent.
Right now, it would be difficult to proclaim the Heat as the team to beat; the Celtics lead them by three games. Miami still hasn't beaten either the Celtics or the Dallas Mavericks, despite four opportunities. Of course, there is also the San Antonio Spurs, who are on pace for a 70-win season.
Still, the Heat have the advantage of time on their side. Mike Miller has still not returned to full strength and his niche on the team has not yet been carved. Udonis Haslem could return by the postseason, giving the Heat another talented player in a shallow frontcourt.
The Heat will get back on the right track. The question is what version of the Heat will we see in the second half of the season? Will it be the medicore 9-8 team? Will it be the team that won 21 of 22 games? Or will it be somewhere in the middle?
Only time will tell.

Swansea criticise Utrecht over comments on Michel Vorm transfer
Swansea have criticised Dutch club Utrecht over comments they made in relation to the ongoing Michel Vorm transfer case.
Vorm's 2014 transfer to Tottenam was the subject of a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing at the end of January, following a complaint from Utrecht.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper's former club claim they are owed a sell-on fee for a player they sold to Swansea for £1.5 million in 2011. He went on to make 97 appearances for the Welsh club.
Netherlands international Vorm left...

Southern California gas prices are now almost 30 cents lower than at the beginning of July, and 40 to 45 cents below their high point for 2014 after five straight weeks of drops, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California's Weekend Gas Watch.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego is $3.867, which is 3.2 cents less than last week, 23 cents lower than last month and 5 cents lower than last year.
In the Inland Empire, the average per-gallon price is $3.854, down 4 cents from last week, 25 cents less than last month and 5 cents less than last year.
In the Los Angeles-Long Beach area, the average price is $3.888 per gallon, which is 4 cents less than last week, 24 cents less than last month and 3 cents lower than last year.
On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.967, 3.2 cents less than last week, 18 cents lower than a month ago and 5 cents less than last year.
The retail state average is $3.90 a gallon for regular as of Thursday, 3.2 cents less than last week.
"Right now, there is a wider difference in individual gas station prices in Southern California," said Auto Club spokesman Jeffrey Spring. "At the moment, $3.50 to $3.65 a gallon is a good deal in most areas."

So there's this nutjob… err, I mean law enforcement officer… named Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona who has apparently taken it upon himself to "prove" that President Obama is not a U.S. citizen (a conspiracy theory known as "birtherism"). This has consisted of basically engaging in rampant conspiracy mongering that President Obama's birth certificate (which you can see here) is a forgery, despite the fact that it has been certified as authentic repeatedly. Well, in their quest to pursue their bigoted… err, I mean intense and serious… investigation of the citizenship of the POTUS, they have hit a new low.

Creationists Push for the Loch Ness Monster: How Pseudoscience Cross-Pollinates
Posted by mattusmaximus on June 25, 2012
I've written here before about the state of Louisiana's so-called "academic freedom" law which is essentially a backdoor attempt to push creationism as science in public school science classes. As many critics of the law pointed out when it was passed, this would serve to dumb-down science standards and inevitably harm the education of students in Louisiana by placing pseudoscientific notions such as creationism on an equal (or better) footing than accepted evolutionary science. Well, as predicted, the consequences of this law are now becoming realized, and I'm sorry to say that things in Louisiana are getting even more stupid than I had predicted. Read this article for more detail:
Christian fundamentalist textbooks touting the Loch Ness Monster as proof of Creationism
For the 2012-2013 school year, thousands of Louisiana students will receive state-funded vouchers to attend private schools, many of which hold religious affiliations.
One of these schools — Eternity Christian Academy, in Westlake, Louisiana — utilizes the A.C.E. Curriculum Program, a Christian fundamentalist course of study that teaches students to "see life from God's point of view." And unbeknownst to most theologians, scientists, and amateur monster hunters, the Lord's viewpoint apparently incorporates Scotland's favorite cryptid.
Herald Scotland reports that a certain textbook in the A.C.E. curriculum transcends standard Creationist teachings and instead informs students that the Loch Ness Monster is proof positive that evolution never happened. (And here I always assumed Nessie was The Great Beast from the Book of Revelations.) Explains Herald Scotland:
"One ACE textbook – Biology 1099, Accelerated Christian Education Inc – reads: "Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the 'Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? 'Nessie' for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur."
Another claim taught is that a Japanese whaling boat once caught a dinosaur. It's unclear if the movie Godzilla was the inspiration for this lesson.
Jonny Scaramanga, 27, who went through the ACE programme as a child, but now campaigns against Christian fundamentalism, said the Nessie claim was presented as "evidence that evolution couldn't have happened. The reason for that is they're saying if Noah's flood only happened 4000 years ago, which they believe literally happened, then possibly a sea monster survived."
The Loch Ness Monster as "evidence" of creationism?!!… Oh… my… FSM.
So it's come to this, folks. As a direct result of the "academic freedom" law in Louisiana, some versions of creationism which are probably even too extreme for many creationists are being seriously pushed as part of the "alternate science" curriculum available to teachers and students…
Apparently, this is the new cover for biology textbooks in Louisiana – image source
I wish I could say that I was surprised, but honestly I'm not. This sort of development is the inevitable result of making science standards so loose (through the invocation of so-called "academic freedom") that just about any kind of stupid, pseudoscientific nonsense which is completely unsupported by the scientific community can pass muster and be taught as if it were science. As I wrote recently, perhaps this is just the kind of thing we need to have happen in states like Louisiana that try to give a thinly veiled wink and nod to creationists under the auspices of "academic freedom"; perhaps it is time to advertise far and wide that any kind of nonsense can be taught in Louisiana schools. And perhaps there will be a point where the politicians in Louisiana may become so terribly embarrassed at what is passing for "education" (after all, one has to wonder how amenable they would be to Islamic creationism, for example) in their state that they might act to remedy the situation.
Until that day comes, however, I think we should be prepared for much more silliness to come out of Louisiana. One thing's for sure, it will be entertaining.

"Teach Alternate Views" Humor from Non Sequitur
Posted by mattusmaximus on June 19, 2012
In some of my recent blog posts, I wondered about the utility of calling the bluff of creationists and going with their argument of "teaching all views" regarding evolution, creationism, etc. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this June 18th cartoon from Non Sequitur just nails it

Creationism 25-Years After Edwards v. Aguillard
Posted by mattusmaximus on June 9, 2012
As a quick follow-up to my last post, I wanted to share with you all the following YouTube video from a symposium on the topic of how creationism has mutated and spread around the world in the last 25 years, after the famous Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court decision which found that teaching creationism as science violated the U.S. Constitution. Give it a look…
Symposium | Why Does the Debate Matter?
On May 11th, 2012 Stanford's Constitutional Law Center, along with the Center for Law and the Biosciences and the National Center for Science and Education (NCSE) hosted the symposium, "Science and Religion in the Classroom: Edwards v. Aguillard at 25." Nathan Chapman (Stanford) moderated the panel, "Why Does the Debate Matter?" featuring Michael McConnell (Stanford), Hank Greely (Stanford), Ronald Numbers (Wisconsin), Michael Ruse (Florida State) and Eugenie Scott (NCSE).

Freedom From Religion Foundation to Air Ad on CBS
Posted by mattusmaximus on March 24, 2012
Given the amazing success of the Reason Rally this weekend in Washington, DC (roughly 20,000 secularists/atheists/non-religious people showing up in the rain is a success to me ), it seems more than appropriate that the Freedom From Religion Foundation runs an ad which will receive a nationwide airing on CBS on Sunday and Monday. The ad opens with President John F. Kennedy's famous remarks about an absolute separation between church and state. Here's the ad:
Wonderfully done, and well-timed. This is an especially important time for those of us in the non-believing community to step up and be counted, given the preponderance of religiously-oriented stupidity on display in election-year politics these days. If we hope to uphold church-state separation and fight back against those who would turn our secular republic into a theocracy, we need to get vocal and get active!
Hat tip to The Friendly Atheist for bringing this to my attention!

Creationists Whining About "Censorship"
Posted by mattusmaximus on December 1, 2011
You may have already seen it: the video of would-be Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann commenting that not teaching creationism (or, "intelligent design", as she calls it) in public school science classes is "government censorship." Check it out…
Wow, there are so many things wrong with what she's saying, it's hard to know where to begin. While these arguments from creationists are nothing new, I'll just hit some of the high points:
1. The "Teach All Views" Argument: I think this one bugs me more than any others, because it is a disingenuous attempt to play off the American sense of fairness. "Just teach all the theories" says Bachmann, but she makes a very interesting omission – what she omits in her argument is that creationists don't actually want "all ideas on the table" as she states. What they really want is to insert their very narrow religious ideology (typically, the view of young-Earth creationism) into public school science classes.
If Bachmann and her ilk were really genuine in their argument, then they would have no problem with "equal time" for a large variety of creationist ideas: old-Earth creationism, day-age creationism, gap creationism, flat Earth creationism, geocentrism, Islamic creationism, various Native-American creation myths, Scientology, and even Raelianism. I especially like proposing "equal time" for Raelianism under Bachmann's plan, because the Raelians are an atheistic UFO-cult which believes that humans were not created by God but aliens. You have to wonder how willing Bachmann and her pals would be to give "equal time" to the Raelians!
So, I say to Bachmann: go for it, but if you really mean "teach all views" then be prepared to open the door to every kind of creationist idea out there. And perhaps after all views have been equally represented, the science teachers in U.S. public schools just might have a couple of weeks at the end of the school year to teach actual science. Who cares if our students will be effectively scientifically illiterate and we start to have massive brain-drain as compared to China and India? At least we can all feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that we "taught all views". Gee whiz, thanks Ms. Bachmann!!!
The logical conclusion of applying the creationist idea of "teaching all views"…
2. The Whiny "Censorship" Argument: here again we have another facepalm moment. These creationists actually believe, or they try to make us believe, that just because the U.S. government doesn't give their particular set of religious beliefs some kind of priviledged status in public schools that it means they are being "censored." Purre rubbish, plain and simple. For one thing, there is this little thing in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which is called the separation of church and state. It basically means, in this particular context, that the public schools don't get into the business of favoring one particular religion over another – that is, the government remains neutral on the question of the "correctness" of various religious beliefs in the public school classroom.
And that means specifically not giving any previledged status to a particular religious view in schools. So while it would be appropriate to have a class on, say, comparative religion where the topic of creationism is studied, it wouldn't be appropriate to insert those views into a science class since that crosses the boundary between science and religion. Religious ideas are taught in religion class, and science is taught in science class!
3. "Scientists don't agree on the origins of life": while this is technically true, because the subject of abiogenesis (the study of life's origins) is a subject of much discussion in the scientific community, Bachmann plays fast and loose with the facts by erroneously equating abiogenesis with the well understood and accepted theory of evolution. These are not the same thing, and it is a common tactic of creationists to equate the two in an effort to give the sense that the scientific community doesn't support evolution. That's just plain wrong, because – as these statistics point out – evolution is well-established in the scientific community.
4. Evolution is "just a theory": this is another tried and true argument used by creationists to denegrate evolution. They try to make it sound like a "theory" in scientific terms is equivalent to a hunch or a guess, but this is incorrect. In science, a theory is a well-established and tested set of ideas that ties together a large set of observations and evidence into a coherent explanatory framework. An analogy in physics would be to talk about the theory of gravity – would Bachmann or her creationist ilk try to seriously argue that gravity is "just a theory"?
If so, I invite her and anyone who agrees with her to take a dive off the nearest tall building without a parachute
I jest, of course, but in my jest there is a note of seriousness: if these creationists truly believe that evolution is "just a theory" (that is, a guess) then why do so many of them continue to use modern vaccines and antibiotics which are made as a direct result of the application of evolutionary theory? If we didn't understand evolution, we simply wouldn't have those medicines. So to avoid being labeled as hypocrites, I think creationists need to at least acknowledge that evolution is more than just a simple guess.
But I won't hold my breath. One thing's for sure: creationists certainly are persistent, and as long as they're up to their shenanigans we have to be equally vigilant.

If I add class=". $feature->slug . " to template-functions.php in line 880 to the list item, it only retrieves for the first li and it's even not the name of the item but from the last.
Has anyone an idea?
Thank you.

The script has to verify if one predefined IP is present in a big array of IPs. Currently I code that function like this (saying that "ips" is my array of IP and "ip" is the predefined ip)
ips.each do |existsip|
if ip == existsip
puts "ip exists"
return 1
puts "ip doesn't exist"
return nil
Is there a faster way to do the same thing?
Edit : I might have wrongly expressed myself. I can do array.include? but what I'd like to know is : Is array.include? the method that will give me the fastest result?

A Day in the Life of Autumn
Fri, Oct 17th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
Click on the Internet�s Foliage Network and you�ll get a forecast of the season�s peak foliage conditions throughout the state. But just step outdoors and you�ll get an in-your-face blast of what a southeastern Minnesota autumn has to offer.
While meteorologist were predicting a less than colorful season due to summer�s drought, Fillmore County residents nonetheless have enjoyed a rich palette of orange, yellow, red and green. An early October frost threatened the season and caused walnut trees, in particular, to be prematurely stripped, leaving piles of green leaves laying in heaps on buildings, vehicles and on streets. For some, fall signals the inevitable and sometimes depressing onset of the big chill. For others, it means something altogether different. Here�s what a few area residents had to say when interviewed during a recent autumn day in Fillmore County. A short distance from Spring Valley�s Kingsland High School is an old maple tree that, for many in town, epitomizes the beginning of fall. The tree, on the north side of the home owned by Rhienhart and Arlene Oeltjen seems to be the first in town to begin changing color and one of the first to drop its leaves. The Oeltjens have enjoyed the perfectly shaped maple for some 27 years since purchasing the property just on the outskirts of town. �I look forward to this time of year,� said Arlene. �This tree signals fall and I enjoy looking out at it every day.� According to Arlene, the tree�s origin was a ditch near Masonic Park, north of Spring Valley. The former property owner, apparently impressed by the tree, rescued it from a ditch and planted it in her yard for many to enjoy. The tree, believed to be around 100 years old, showcases the brilliance of a Midwestern fall day. �We�ve been told by people that they�ve traveled many, many places but never have seen a tree as perfect,� Arlene said. Indian Summer days, it�s not unusual to find folks enjoying the outdoors, but tennis? For Jim and Deb Doherty and their kids, the day was just too nice to stay inside. With tennis rackets in tow, they headed for Spring Valley�s South Park to partake in an October game of tennis. �It�s a beautiful day,� said Deb, who along with daughter Jenny and husband Jim basked in the warm autumn sun on the tennis courts. �We�re both on vacation this week,� noted Jim who said the family is also planning their annual fall drive near the picturesque bluffs of Lanesboro later in the week.� �We like to drive around to look at other people�s Halloween decorations,� said 11-year-old Jenny. �I like to see people out selling pumpkins, squash, and apples this time of year,� Deb added. Fall hasn�t been as pleasant for Kingsland High School sophomore Matt Hinze, a tackle on the Kingsland Football team. �I think about football all year round, but especially during the fall,� Matt said. An unfortunate mishap during the team�s fourth game landed Matt on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. �I was tackling this kid and he was going one way and I was going the other way and my finger got caught in the middle,� he said. After surgery to insert pins in his pinky finger, doctors instructed Matt to stay off the gridiron. �I was pretty mad,� said Matt, who now sports a bright purple cast celebrating his favorite NFL team. Matt still supports his Kingsland teammates by helping out, with his good hand, as water boy. Another fall mishap prompted Kingsland senior Danielle Vogel to proclaim, �pumpkins are evil.� Fearing her pumpkin might get smashed during the night, the seventeen-year-old went to fetch it inside when she lost her grip. That�s when the 10-pounds of �evilness� came smashing down on Danielle�s left foot, breaking it. �To me, fall means a broken foot,� said Danielle, who now shows off a high-tech looking fiberglass cast. �I�m going to be in this thing for eight weeks, which means I�m going to spend my 18th birthday on crutches,� she said. Out on a gravel road southeast of Spring Valley, a woman out for a brisk afternoon walk unleashed her dog for a full-throttled run down the dusty road. Up the road a bit, a group of orange-vested pheasant hunters walked parallel to half-picked cornfields in hopes of scaring up a bird or two. Down at Spring Valley�s Historical Society, director and guide Rosalie Kruegel and former director and guide Mary Jo Dathe waited for visitors to tour the town�s museums. The sound of crackling leaves underfoot signaled oncoming tourists on the quieter-than-normal afternoon. According to Rosalie, the clientele this time of year are generally seniors who are out for a fall drive. For just $5 and a spare hour and a half, visitors get a guided tour of the church and home museums on weekends in September and October. Both museums are packed full of local history, featuring many unique pieces and exhibits. �Visitors this time of year tend to be more leisurely,� Rosalie said. �They comment how they love the scenery around here. I think we sometimes take what we have for granted.� For Mary Jo, the fall day helped her reflect on the summer�s bounty. �At this time of year, work in our summer gardens is over and we can enjoy all the fruits of our labors,� she said. With the leaf drop in our region being reported as moderate by the Foliage Network, and mild temperatures in the forecast, there still is time to get out and enjoy your favorite fall activity.

for higher dividend
Buying for a high yield always works out well, smart.....will it be higher in 2 years?
It probably will, but there is no free lunch.
APL is definitely more risky than EPD.
After all, it's the same management who came within a hair of bankrupting the company a few years ago.
Not bashing, just stating facts - I own both APL and EPD in my portfolio. In fact APL is my biggest position by virtue of having loaded up when the price had been smashed due to the aforementioned near bankrupting.
