Lagoon 1 Inflatable Kayak - The New sporty Lagoon 1 IK is so unique that you will have complete strangers asking questions about it. Its bow and stern have fixed rigid forms that help cut through the waves and keep you on course. It has a inner tube cover for increased rigidity and durability and abrasion protection. It has molded rubber-grip handles, bungee deck lacing, padded seat, mesh accessory pocket, tracking skeg and foam floor. This multi-use boat is for anyone who enjoys the water. From lakes and mild rivers, to bays and estuaries, Lagoon 1 Inflatable Kayak is a delight to get on the water quickly without lugging around a heavy cumbersome hard-shell boat.
We have owned 2 of these kayaks for 6 years. They have 2 separate inflation chambers, so if one ever fails, you're still afloat. It's so portable - no roofrack required, and weighs as much as a heavy suitcase. We paddle on the ocean for a half mile or so, and they are comfortable. The floor is inflatable, so your rear end doesn't get cold. There is no skirt for this kayak, so water can come in. It's not a super fast kayak, and sometimes it doesn't run true but veers to one side a bit, but for this price and convenience of carrying in the trunk it's great. The fabric has been pretty durable, and easy to clean because the floor and flotation chambers come out easily.

Despite some rain over the past week, a mostly dusty course greeted the racers at the Swan River Rampage Wednesday evening.
"It was pretty dry and rocky," said racer John Spencer, who competed in the sport men's category. "Some of it washed out with the rain, but everyone was kicking up some dust."
The third race in this summer's Summit Mountain Challenge Series took bikers 16 and older on a 13.25-mile loop starting just past Good Times Adventures on Tiger Road in Breckenridge. They climbed on the Colorado Trail, descended into Horseshoe Gulch and made their way back on a two-track that paralleled Tiger
"The climbing was really hard, but the descent was fun," said elite men's first-place finisher Nate Hills, who clocked in at one hour, five minutes and three-and-a-half seconds, a little more than one-and-a-half minutes before second-place rider Kevin Dixon. "The last couple miles back up from Tiger Run were the hardest, just because it's a mellow, false-flat climb."
Junior riders 15 and under did two or three laps on a 1.8-mile loop, depending on their category.
Andrew Duxbury, who won first place in the junior boys 10-and-under category (finishing two laps in 19:29:51), found the initial uphill on his course a little challenging because there were a lot of rocks, but overall, thought he did a pretty good job.
Sisters Tai-lee and Ezra Smith - who raced in junior girls 10-and-under, and junior girls 11-12, respectively) - both managed to snag first place in their categories, despite getting late starts.
They arrived a little late, Ezra Smith said. She was a little nervous about it at first - the two were racing to the start line from the parking lot as their groups took off - but managed to get her wings under her after that first uphill. The other riders in her group used up a lot of energy going up, but she took it slow and passed them at the top, she said.
Juniors can learn the tricks of the trade at the Mountain Bike Junior League, which hosts group rides once a week to help kids perfect their riding, and to teach them the rules of the trails.
They're given trail etiquette, proper riding technique, environmental education and even a little mining history, said Jeff Westcott of Maverick Sports.
This year, 85 kids are signed up for the rides, which have been taking place since 2001.
"They love it," Westcott said.

If these teams didn't play each other, a couple them might not win a game. However, the Vikings (who aren't that bad) play at the Chiefs, then the Chiefs play at the Colts who play the Jaguars twice. And of course the Rams and the Seahawks play each other twice.
Personally, I think it's a 2-team race between the Colts and the Chiefs, but they both showed some life this week so I expect them to win a game or two. The Seahawks would probably be the 3rd team, but their division is so bad and they have such a huge home field advantage I expect them to win a few games.

There was no real threat, just an ill-considered prank that went awfully wrong. Many of you have fallen prey to Jacob's practical jokes, have been startled out of your wits when Jacob seemingly jumped out of nowhere and grabbed you. He literally lived to make people laugh and pull stunts to make you jump out of your skin and then try to get him back.
Jacob wouldn't hurt a fly. Many of you have found yourselves shoved aside when you were about to step on a bug or mistreat a frog or snake, so that Jacob could capture these creatures and set them free outside. Some of you saw the orphaned squirrel he rescued and raised. Others saw the baby robin he recently saved by hand-feeding it cat food until it matured to the point of being able to survive on its own. He loved all creatures great and small.
I also wanted to let you know that you, his friends, meant the world to Jacob. He loved you all and was the happiest he had ever been in his life because he had what he never before believed he could ever have: true friends. God bless you all. You brought him great happiness.
God selected me to raise this talented, creative, highly intelligent, loving, and oddly fragile person. Though I wouldn't trade that responsibility for anything, I know I will never be free of the feeling that I failed him. If I had been more supportive, more patient, more kind, or more loving and attentive, he would still be here. I know that, with sincere apologies to my wife, my daughter, and my loved ones, I would give my life in an instant for him to be alive again.
Things just don't work that way and we are all left here staring at the hole in the world he left behind. "Death be not proud", indeed. Death should hang its head in shame. It was a pointless, meaningless, totally avoidable, and unnecessary death – a death based on a mistake, a misinterpretation of the original intent. It has robbed the world of a source of love and laughter, joy and music that the world could ill afford to lose. Don Maclean's words so perfectly apply: "I could have told you [Jacob], this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."
Jacob, you are sorely missed. I love you so.

Viokase drug description and what Viokase is used to treat
Viokase is the brand name of the generic drug pancrelipase. It is a combination of three enzymes or proteins known as lipase, protease, and amylase. These are produced by the pancreas. Lipase is responsible for the digestion of fats, protease for the digestion of proteins, amylase for the breakdown of sugars. Viokase is used as enzyme replacements when the body is incapable to produce enough of its own. Conditions of the pancreas, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and blockage of the pancreatic ducts are indications for using this drug. It can also be used as a replacement when the pancreas is surgically removed.
The use of this drug is not for everyone, especially to those allergic to pork proteins. Use of Viokase in conditions such as worsening chronic pancreatic disease, sudden onset inflammation of the pancreas, kidney disease, gout, and a history of intestinal blockage should first be consulted to the doctor. To achieve the maximal effect, use this drug regularly, without missing a dose. Do not take more than the recommended dose. This may result to over dose symptoms such as diarrhea and stomach upset. Since the drug is composed of enzymes, it is important to swallow the capsule or tablets immediately upon administration.
The enzyme content may irritate the inside of your mouth. The contents may also irritate the skin, nose, and lungs if exposed and inhaled. Remember to avoid from crushing, chewing, breaking, or opening this extended-release capsule. For conditions wherein swallowing is a difficulty, the capsule may be opened carefully and contents may be mixed with some pudding or applesauce. Since the drug helps in the digestion of most meals, pancrelipase should be taken with food, and followed by a full glass of water or fruit juice. Immediately contact your health care provider if you experience allergic reactions, nausea or vomiting, stomach pain, bloating, rectal irritation, cough, or weight loss.

Cute Guys and Their Cuter Dogs
What it's about: A group of gals in a small Southern town hang out and support the shit out of each other during tough times. BYO Kleenex to this party, because you will def cry.
Who's in it? More like who ISN'T in it! We've got the queen, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Darryl Hannah and Olympia Dukakis. I die.
Best Quote: I couldn't choose just one: "Well, you know what they say: If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!," "I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood 40 years!" and the classic: "Drink your juice, Shelby."
What it's about: Romy & Michelle are a pair of lovable blond besties living in L.A. and
struggling with their careers when they decide to go to their ten year high school reunion and face the evil popular girls that made their life hell. The payback is super sweet.
Who's in it? The main stars are played by Mira Sorivno and Lisa Kudrow, who are both comedic geniuses. And, woefully undercast!
Best Quote: "You know, even though I had to wear that stupid back brace and you were kind of fat, we were still totally cutting edge."

Gaffney to begin testing new emergency warning sirens
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
The Gaffney Fire Department will begin testing its monthly emergency warning sirens next week. The first test will be held between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Monday. Gaffney Fire Chief Jamie Caggiano said that all areas of the city and most of the fire district will be covered by the early warning, which warns of a potential disaster.
The fire department has installed three new emergency warning sirens at the Gaffney Fire Department main station at 205 N. Limestone St., its Overbrook fire station at 1230 Overbrook Drive and at the Cherokee Avenue station at 2813 Cherokee Ave.
The sirens will be tested on the first Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. Caggiano recommends that every household have a weather alert radio and that residents also sign-up for text message alerts from the National Weather Service or local media outlets.
The Gaffney Fire Department website at www.gaffneyfire.com has links to test message alerts or call Caggiano at 864-487-8517.

Stale ale may not have much appeal, but beer is what stale originally described—not beer that has gone off, but beer that has been standing long enough for it to clear and perhaps improve in strength. The word was applied to food from the early 16th century.

Elvis Costello at the United Palace Theater
Any song Elvis Costello sings sounds like an Elvis Costello song, so I'm always surprised to find out about songs he didn't write. Possibly his most well-known song, "(What's so funny about) Peace Love and Understanding" was written and first recorded by Nick Lowe, later Elvis' producer on Armed Forces. Elvis recorded it as a B-side to a Nick Lowe single and tacked it onto Armed Forces for the 1979 American release when his cover became a hit in the UK. This was back in the days when a hit single could make a hit record. The album went gold in the US and has been hailed as helping define New Wave by Rolling Stone. Elvis was at the height of his popularity and it's impossible to know how big an impact the addition of "Peace Love and Understanding" had on record sales. Still, these days you know you haven't come to the end of an Elvis Costello concert until the short, sweaty man in huge glasses sings "Peace Love and Understanding" (the suit in the above photo began as the same shade of gray).
Also riding a hit song's coattails, Nick Lowe did his best to use his only US top 40 hit, "Cruel to Be Kind," in promoting his ensuing album The Abominable Showman to American audiences on David Letterman. (Look, Look! I wrote a song you like. Buy my new album that doesn't have that song. It's got 12 more just like it.) He goes on in the interview to call it "an old, wimpy song," acknowledging it's not his favorite, but you've gotta play the hits. Nick Lowe began as a songwriter and producer and moved into performing as a front man for larger audiences after his work with Elvis. It seemed like more of a natural next step for him as a writer rather than a burning desire to perform. With his success in other areas he had the time and means to give it a shot without trying to become one of the money hungry bands he despised and often ridiculed (Journey and Styx to name a couple).
Elvis' next album, Get Happy, dug further back to the Sam and Dave soul ballad hit "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down," cutting its run time in half by speeding it up to a pace Elvis could awkwardly dance to. The song was written by the Stax co-writing team of Homer Banks and Allen Jones. Banks began his career at Stax working for three years at their record store while also doing some recording for Mint, another label. Stax eventually hired him as a songwriter, but never a singer. In addition to Elvis Costello, his writing provided hits for the Spencer Davis Group,"Gimme Some Lovin'," and The Staple Singers, "If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)." After Stax, Banks moved on with new writing partner Carl Hampton to a publishing job at A&M records. Banks never matched the success he had at Stax, but he and Hampton were able to record their own album, Passport to Ecstasy, on Warner Brothers in 1977.
Elvis has been able to continue as a performer on the strength of his songwriting as well as showmanship and singing. It's not an easy racket to break into let alone have a career spanning several decades. For his current tour, Elvis resurrected his 1986 Spinning Songbook, a giant wheel audience members are invited on stage to spin, creating the playlist as the night goes on. The deck is stacked with Elvis' hits and a few "wild card" spots that allow him to play medley's of other artist's songs. He often goes on his own 3-4 song sets, playing whatever doesn't seem to be coming up on the wheel.
Elvis Costello at the United Palace Theater
Some people don't have the same desire or luck to have a career like Elvis Costello, but songwriting talent continues to have a place in the music industry. It's a shame more of that talent doesn't infiltrate the top 40 like it used to.

The chocolate Labrador retriever named Boogie ran most of the 13.1 miles in Saturday's Evansville event and then was taken to Animal Control.
Owner Jerry Butts tells the Evansville Courier & Press (http://bit.ly/17dIIR1 ) that the 100-pound dog slipped his leash Friday night. It was his fourth escape.
Butts says Boogie now has a microchip and an appointment to be neutered.
Boogie finished the race in 2 hours, 15 minutes. That's better than more than half of the race's participants.

An East Stroudsburg woman already facing charges of housing fraud was charged with committing public assistance fraud after she allegedly received benefits from the East Stroudsburg Area School District for two of her children through the National School Lunch Program.
Dawn Babbitt filed paperwork in 2011 with the school district to receive free meals for her children, according to Monroe County District Attorney Chief County Detective Eric Kerchner.
Babbitt claimed she only earned $28,860 a year from Social Security payments.
She received $469.55 in benefits from the school district.
The district learned of Babbitt's previous arrest for subsidized housing fraud and contacted the District Attorney's Office to file a complaint.
According to official records, Babbitt and her husband earned $96,438 in 2011. Babbitt would not have been entitled to these benefits had she reported her actual yearly income.
She was charged with theft by deception/false impressions, theft by deception and unsworn falsifications to authorities (all misdemeanor charges) for the offenses against the school district. The charges were filed with District Magistrate Michael Muth. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 11.
Babbitt had been charged in October with theft by deception/false impressions and theft by deception, both felonies, and unsworn falsifications to authorities, a misdemeanor charge.
Detectives learned that Babbitt and her husband, Joseph Babbitt, were enrolled in a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The program was designed to help low-income households get decent housing.
Tenants receiving assistance must meet income and eligibility requirements.
Joseph Babbitt was not listed as a household member by Dawn, according to authorities. And since he was gainfully employed, she would not have otherwise received HUD benefits to pay her rent, according to Kerchner.

However, when it comes to grilled chicken wings, our individual sets of taste buds have been known to contact separate lawyers and the papers have been drawn up citing "irreconcilable differences in wing sauce taste." We go to court next month.
Hubby likes his wings hot. He wants his tongue and lips to burn. His sinuses must be draining and there has to be visible sweat on his forehead in order for him to declare a wing sauce a success.
I'll admit to liking a little kick to my wing sauce, but just a little twinge of heat that lets me know I enjoyed some spiciness.
So, not unlike sleeping in separate beds when he's getting his snore on, we make our own separate chicken wings. Hubby of course grills them all with his secret wing grilling technique.
And then we sauce them separately. It was Labor Day and I had no ambition to make my own sauces, so I pulled out a bottle of Saucy Mama wing sauce for him...
And my personal favorite, Bangkok Padang peanut sauce.
The Saucy Mama wing sauce was sent to me along with several other sauces, mustards and stuffed olives from Barhyte Specialty Foods. I have not been compensated by them in any way for this review, other than the fact that the sauces were sent to me free of charge.
The verdict? Hubby thought the buffalo wing sauce was great, and although he's not a true fan of regular buffalo wing sauce, he thought Saucy Mama's had the required heat but also had added flavor that is not typically present in buffalo wing sauce. He gave it two thumbs up. I ate all my peanut sauce wings then tasted his Saucy Mama wings and once I wiped off the "mounds" of sauce he'd put on them, I thought they were delicious too. If you're a buffalo chicken wing fan, you will definitely like this sauce.
What's your favorite wing sauce?

The Oakland Raiders sustained their third consecutive lopsided loss Sunday but kept their position in the Associated Press Pro32 NFL power rankings.
The Raiders fell 38-18 to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at O.co Coliseum, falling to 3-7 on the season. It was Oakland's third consecutive loss; it's been outscored 135-69 during the losing streak.
But the Raiders remained at No. 30 in the power rankings with 33 points, as determined by the ranking's 12 voters. Below them again are the Jacksonville Jaguars (31st, 26 points) and the Kansas City Chiefs (32nd, 13 points). The Chiefs fell into the bottom spot following their 28-6 loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals. The previous cellar dwellers, the Jaguars, also lost but gained in the rankings after nearly pulling off an upset of the top-rated Houston Texans, eventually losing 43-37 in overtime.
Behind the top-ranked Texans are the 49ers, who moved into second from the fourth spot following their 32-7 win Monday night over the Chicago Bears.
Here are the voters' comments on the Raiders after Week 11, as provided by the AP (voter affiliation and ranking in parenthesis):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 31) -- Didn't think it would look like this.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 31) -- Hard to win when your defense is getting regularly shredded.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 31) -- This defense is very hard to watch.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 31) -- Will Dennis Allen be a one-and-done? Not like the Raiders haven't pulled the plug early before. Let's see if Mark Davis is like father Al when it comes to impatience with losing coaches.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 27) -- The Raiders have not sacked any quarterbacks in the last two games. Their 11 sacks are the fewest in the league.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 29) -- That Black Hole in Oakland is not in the stands; it's in the middle of the Raiders' defense. Mark Davis should be "embarrassed" for the fans.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 31) -- The resurgent Bengals might drop 50 on these frauds.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 30) -- A paper thin roster, a defense that struggles with a fullback at the running back spot because of injuries and the results are predictable. Everyone from the owner on down has to have some patience.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 31) -- The Raiders turnaround has a long way to go.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 30) -- The Raiders have surrendered an average of 45 points and 439 yards over the past three losses.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 28) -- The Raiders defense is the best friend of every offense with a league-high 322 points allowed. Every offense except the Raiders offense, that is.

Fred Wilson on Bitcoin: 'There Is Blood in the Streets'
A prominent bitcoin exchange is in major trouble, prices are fluctuating rapidly and the virtual currency's reputation has taken a major hit.
In other words, this is the perfect buying opportunity, says bitcoin enthusiast Fred Wilson.
"I bought a little Bitcoin today," Mr. Wilson, a partner at Union Square Ventures, which is pursuing bitcoin investments, wrote Tuesday on his blog. "Not much. But I always feel good buying when there is blood in the streets in any market. It is my favorite time to buy."
Mr. Wilson isn't too perturbed by the latest problems at Mt. Gox, the troubled bitcoin exchange whose website reappeared Tuesday only to reveal that transactions will remain halted for the time being. A statement on Mt. Gox's website said: "In the event of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly."
The jitters also spread to the price of bitcoin, which fell more than 5% from MOnday to $515.47, according to CoinDesk, a bitcoin news provider.
Amid the recent troubles, Mr. Wilson still remains confident in bitcoin's future.
"The wonderful thing about a globally distributed financial network is that if one of the nodes goes down, it doesn't take the system down," he said. "Bitcoin's architecture is similar to the Internet's architecture. There is no centralized control point. No single point of failure."
Mr. Wilson's firm has a vested interest in bitcoin's success. One of Union Square Ventures's portfolio companies is Coinbase, a bitcoin broker and payment processor. Coinbase was one of six major bitcoin exchanges and businesses that pledged a coordinated efforts to assure customers of the security of their funds.
Mr. Wilson elaborated further on bitcoin's maturation process and what's next for the virtual currency:
"There is a lot of venture capital being invested in the Bitcoin sector right now. Much of that investment is going into the infrastructure, processes, and technology to provide the kind of safeguards that are mentioned in that paragraph. We are witnessing the maturation of a sector and part of that will inevitably be failures, crashes, and other messes. Almost every technology that I've watched come into a mass adoption has gone through these sorts of growing pains. One big difference is that in addition to technology, we are also talking about people's money when we talk about Bitcoin. To me, that doesn't change the discussion and the implications, but it sure does amplify the emotions around it."

A 17-year-old Elsberry teen was killed Monday morning in a multi-vehicle crash in Lincoln County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident happened at 6:25 a.m. on Missouri 79, 0.8 of a mile south of Missouri 47.
Killed was Jillian A. Young of Elsberry, who was a passenger in a 2008 Hyundai Sonata driven by 62-year-old William S. Young of Lake St. Louis.
According to the accident report, a 1992 Toyota Camry driven by 27-year-old Kenny B. Mitchell of Foley and a 2004 Ford Ranger operated by 25-year-old Joshua G. Magruder of Winfield were stopped in traffic. The Sonata struck the rear of the Camry which hit the rear of the Ranger. The Ranger spun and hit a parked pickup.
Jillian A. Young, who was wearing a safety device, was pronounced dead by coroner Lisa Sitler.

BERKELEY -- Hundreds of high school students from throughout the Bay Area got firsthand practice programming computers during UC Berkeley's annual Computer Science Education Day on Tuesday, and just maybe, they'll be inspired to major in computer science.
"We are a new generation and we all use computers for basically everything," said Brandon Ye, a 16-year-old junior at California High in San Ramon, after learning the Snap visual, drag-and-drop programming language. "This could give us a new understanding. Like, when you post something on Facebook, why does it show up like that? It feels empowering."
Still, he said it was a bit difficult to get the hang of it at first.
"It's like learning a new language," he said. "We're learning about how it works. It's like learning grammar -- where does the noun go?"
The university started in 2010 hosting daylong activities to introduce high school students to programming, said computer science instructor Dan Garcia, who helped found the university program. He got students thinking about how to win and lose at Tic Tac Toe during a presentation about crafting games.
Jennifer Parra, 14, a geometry student from Downtown College Prep Charter High in San Jose, said she especially enjoyed learning the Tic Tac Toe strategies.
"It gives us brain knowledge," she said. "Computers are a big part of our daily lives. This is actually pretty fun."
Aside from the fun programming activities, her classmate Tiffany Nguyen, 14, said she enjoyed the chance to visit a university.
"I thought it was a really cool experience because you get to go to college," Nguyen said.
The programming day at UC Berkeley is part of the larger international Computer Science Education Week, all of which is a push to get youngsters interested in computer science careers. For example, in many K-12 schools this week students will participate in an hourlong interactive tutorial on computer programming called the Hour of Code.
Garcia said outreach to high schools is helping to interest teens in computer programming before they get to college. For the first time ever last year, more than half of the students in UC Berkeley's introductory computer science course were women, he said proudly.
Yet, many high schools don't offer computer science and those that do often see more boys than girls taking the classes. Andrew Doolittle, who teaches computer science at Arroyo High in San Lorenzo, said he has drummed up interest in his classes by asking his students to explain what they are learning to their classmates in advanced math classes just before it's time to register for next year's courses.
As a result, Doolittle said interest in computer science at Arroyo has doubled, with his program growing from one advanced placement course and one introductory course last year to two sections of each this year.
More than half of the freshmen at UC Berkeley take an intro to computer science class, even though they won't all major in it, said David Culler, chairman of the Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Department.
"The demand for computer science courses has tripled in the last three to four years," he said. "About 70 percent of job growth in the next 10 years will be in computer-related fields. But all the other jobs will also have elements of it."
Garcia's introductory course is a prototype for a new advanced placement computer science course promoted by the National Science Foundation through its CS 10K campaign, which aims to get the curriculum into 10,000 high schools, Culler said.
Josiah Harper, a 16-year-old junior at Arroyo, said he became interested in computer programming because he wanted to find out how video games work.
"It's definitely something I enjoy," he said. "It's just fun to create things I had in my mind and see it come out on the computer. It's cool."

The Oregon Gulch fire has grown to 11,000 acres and is moving south toward Copco Lake in California and east toward Grizzly Mountain on the Jackson/Klamath county line, according to an Oregon Department of Forestry spokesman.
"It's probably going to get rolling this afternoon like it did yesterday," said Don Hickman, spokesman for ODF's incident team on the Oregon Gulch fire.
Link Smith of ODF said that an inversion sitting over the fire is slowing its advance, but firefighters are worried there will be a repeat of Thursday's explosive behavior, when the fire grew by 1,000 acres an hour in gusty winds. Embers were starting fires as far as a mile away.
"You can't put anybody in front of that," Smith said. "All you can do is get out of its way and pick up the pieces."
The fire isn't burning in steep terrain, but the combination of extremely dry fuel, hot temperatures and wind is firefighters' biggest headache.
Fire officials had not yet confirmed what structures might have been burned in the fire, which started with a lightning strike Wednesday evening. It was discovered at 10 acres at about 10 a.m. Thursday morning. There have been no reports of injuries.

It's time once again for my holiday grab bag of seasonal tidbits, random hobbit news and annual UFO update.
First, the UFOs: I haven't seen any, and NORAD's too busy tracking Santa this time of year to be of any help. There was at least word out last week that "alien-like" elongated skulls were recently unearthed in a 1,000-year-old cemetery in Mexico, though buzz-killing scientists claim the conical remains were merely human. If so, they were likely from France.
Regardless, I shall continue to watch the skies for signs of life, and thank heavens there's plenty of time to do so, seeing as how the world didn't end and all. Again.
My oh Mayans
Yes, we're all still here. Or are we? Maybe we just think we are and we're really living in a "Matrix" style realm inside our own little eggshells of consciousness. Well, if I'm living in an eggshell, I'd like it to be one of Geetika Bansal's.
She's a San Jose artist and mom who works full time and "eggs" on the side. This kind of egging has nothing to do with Nelson Muntz or Principal Skinner's house. Nor does it resemble the blown egg I made in Miss Warnock's class at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in which I pinpricked the shell and blew and blew until I had Dizzy Gillespie cheeks and dizzy spells, then painted the egg brown with a big mustache and topped it off with a little papier-mache sombrero. I called him Señor Huevo, a distant cousin of the Frito Bandito. Hey, it was a different time.
No, Geetika's "Art in an Eggshell" eggs, happily, are nothing like this. She creates fabulous Faberge-style masterpieces: jewelry boxes, clocks, ornaments, merry-go-rounds, all with intricate openings and delicate beadings that take an average of 20 to 40 hours, and more patience than Santa has magic. Check them out at www.geetikas.com. They'll "blow" your mind. Into Dizzy Gillespie cheeks.
Going native
Inside my egg world -- or maybe she's really real -- lives a lady in Danville who has a crèche crush. Joan Hamblin has more than 150 nativity scenes from around the world. It all started with a small one her mom bought years ago at JC Penney, then in the mid-1990s Joan visited the annual Palo Alto crèche display and went crèche crazy. Now she belongs to the national "Friends of the Crèche" group that holds conventions where people share nativity news. Who knew? One of her favorite scenes is from Alaska. "It is made out of plaster of Paris and the worshiping animals are all walrus, seal, moose," she said.
And therein lies the tale of the traditional Christmas Walrus.
Bully for you
So I was watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" the other night, and it dawned on me that most of the Christmas specials are all about bullies. I mean, "all the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names," and the head elf is mean to the poor little dentist elf, and the only character we are told is evil and bad -- the Abominable -- is actually just misguided and in tooth pain. Even Santa shuns Rudolph until he turns out to be useful, and then "all the reindeer love him," but just because he's tight with Santa. What kind of message is that?
At least with Charlie Brown, all the gang learns a lesson about the true meaning of Christmas. But why are they so mean to Charlie in the first place? He doesn't do anything wrong. He's just kind of boring. And then there's Scrooge. A total bully, until he gets paranormally bullied into kindness. The Grinch is more of a petty thief than a bully, but still. I have no idea what any of this means. I'm just saying.
Helpful hobbits
Fortunately there are no bullying orcs or trolls in the Shire of the Santa Cruz Mountains where sisters Alex and Kellie Rice reside (they're nicknamed Fili and Kili after the dwarven siblings in "The Hobbit"). They produce a web series called "Happy Hobbit" (www.facebook.com/TORnHappyHobbit) exploring ways to bring Middle-earth into your daily life. I watched the one about cooking acorns. Let's just say there's a reason the song goes "chestnuts" roasting on an open fire, and not acorns.
"Those acorns were so bitter, and unbeknown to the viewers, I boiled them six times before finally giving up and throwing them out! I'm sure the deer will still appreciate them," said Kili. Or was it Fili?
Oh well, have a happy, hobbity, huevos-filled, bully-free holiday everyone! And keep watching the skies. Or France.

Dora's lovable sidekick is so cute...don't you just want to squeeze him? Now you can with this cuddly pillow pet! Print and trace the templates to colored felt and glue the pieces together as instructed. Kids will actually look forward to bedtime!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print out the Boots no-sew pillow template, and then prepare your work area by gathering all the craft items you'll need for making your pillow creation.
A grown-up should cut out the template pieces and use them to cut out the pillow pieces from sheets of felt or fleece. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Either fleece or felt can be used to make these pillows, but felt works best, especially for the face details. Grown-ups should cut out the pieces, while assisting your preschool helper to assemble the face details using the photo for reference.
Help your child apply the face details to the front pillow panel. A grown-up should apply the glue and place the face pieces on the body panel. Apply light pressure to ensure the pieces stay in place. Fabri-Tac and similar products are quick-drying. For Boots' eye reflections, either draw them with white fabric paint or cut out two tiny circles from white felt.
Once the face has been glued down, glue the belly piece on, then glue together the arms, legs, and the bottom of Boots' body. Use several beads of glue between the front and back panel edges and press them together until the glue takes (about a minute). Once the bottom of the body has dried, begin stuffing with batting and continue gluing the sides together. Try not to over-stuff the pillow, as this will make it difficult to glue the sides together. Keep gluing and pressing all the edges until the pillow is sealed on all sides.

 Attach the boots and hands to the pillow and stuff each piece, then attach Boots' tail.

 Once the pillow is dry, Boots is ready to explore with your Dora fan.

ThromboGenics in eye drug deal with Novartis unit Alcon
19.03.2012 - Biopharmaceutical company ThromboGenics has entered into an agreement with Alcon Inc., a division of Novartis for the commercialisation of its product ocriplasmin in all markets outside the U.S.
ThromboGenics said it will concentrate on commercialising ocriplasmin in the U.S., where it plans to build its commercial and medical organisation to support the anticipated launch of the eye drug within the next 12 months. The truncated form of the human serine protease plasmin is under review in Europe for the indication symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion. ThromboGenics will receive an up-front payment of €75m and is eligible for a further €90m in potential near-term milestone payments. Additional milestones would bring the potential total of up-fronts and milestones to €375m according to ThromboGenics. The Belgian company will have a "strategic and focused operational role" in the commercialisation of the product in the five largest European markets. The partners will also co-develop ocriplasmin in additional indications, with both companies responsible for development costs. Details were not disclosed. Ocriplasmin is Thrombogenics' lead product. It represents an injectable recombinant microplasmin, a truncated form of the natural human protein plasmin. The drug has successfully completed two Phase III clinical trials for the pharmacological treatment of the eye disease symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-01/thrombogenics-in-eye-drug-deal-with-novartis-unit-alcon.html

The 9-day-old grocery clerks strike against Raley's and its Nob Hill Foods subsidiary stores came to an end today as the supermarket chain and United Food and Commercial Workers union reached a tentative contract agreement.
That agreement came about 5 a.m. after a marathon overnight negotiating session in San Francisco, where talks had been held since beginning Friday. Leaders of union Locals 8 and 5 said picket lines would come down and about 7,000 striking workers will return to work.
Raley's has five stores in San Joaquin County; one each in Lodi, Manteca and Tracy and two in Stockton.

A new 50-cent trifecta will be offered by The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) at Belmont Park beginning Saturday, October 19. The bet will be available on all NYRA races that currently offer trifecta wagering.
Saturday is Empire Showcase Day presented by The Fund at Belmont Park, with an 11-race card featuring seven stakes races for New York-breds. First race post time is 12:20 p.m.
"The 50-cent trifectas have been popular elsewhere around the country and we're pleased to now be able to offer them on races at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack and Saratoga Race Course," said Eric Wing, NYRA's Director of Communications and Media Relations. "With the new, lower minimum, bettors both on- and off-track will be able to affordably cover more horses as they construct their trifecta tickets."
In a trifecta, the bettor must select the first three finishers of a race in the correct sequence in order to win. Lowering the minimum wager from one dollar to fifty cents permits a bettor to cover different combinations for a lesser investment. For example, a four-horse trifecta box for $1 would cost $24 while the same ticket at 50 cents would cost $12.
The 50-cent trifecta is the second new wager offered by NYRA at the Belmont meet, joining the 50-cent Pick 5 wager that spans races 1-5. NYRA also offers a 50-cent minimum Pick 4, as well as a 10-cent superfecta, in which the first four finishers of a race must be selected in the correct order.
