HTF Episode Description
Nutty finds out the real reason it's called a jawbreaker!
Nutty's new jawbreaker lives up to its name! (DVD)
Nutty wakes up and goes through his morning routine, brushing his teeth with a lollipop and sugar, adorning himself with candy as a wardrobe, and making coffee by grounding jelly beans. His coffee isn't sweet enough for him, so, after pouring a bowl of sugar in his coffee, he goes to the cupboard to get some more sugar. He panics upon seeing that the cupboard is bare and he runs off to buy more sugar.
At a large supermarket-sized candy store, Nutty shops to his heart's content, picking up all sorts of sugary treats. He stops in his tracks, however, when his eyes falls upon a jawbreaker on a pedestal. He licks it and likes what he tastes, but he ends up breaking his jaw trying to bite it in half. Nutty goes to Lumpy, the doctor, who helps straighten out his teeth and unknowingly wires Nutty's jaws shut. He tries eating the jawbreaker again, but he can't get it through the wires clamping his teeth together. At home, Nutty attempts to pry his teeth open so he can enjoy his treat. He goes through his toolbox and pulls out a screwdriver, which opens up his teeth slightly enough for him to stick his tongue out. When Nutty attempts to open his mouth even more, the screwdriver breaks loose, and as a result, Nutty bites off almost half his tongue. In a last ditch effort, Nutty grabs his cable-cutters and begins snipping his wires off. Unfortunately, this causes Nutty's already broken jaw to drop, making his mouth bleed profusely.
Nutty goes back to Lumpy, who drills and locks a mask onto Nutty's head, making it next to impossible for him to take it off. Nutty's stomach growls, so Lumpy throws an apple in a blender and gives Nutty the juice before leaving to play golf. As Lumpy tries to leave the building, his nurse, Giggles, calls him back to place a glass eye in one of Toothy's empty sockets. Upset, Lumpy frustratingly utters some words, puts his golf equipment down, and begins the surgery. Nutty, still in the doctor's office, tries to drink the apple juice, but Nutty spits it out due to it not being sweet enough. Nutty grabs his jawbreaker, and he gets an idea. He tosses the jawbreaker into the blender in hopes that it would break down, but instead, the stone hard candy destroys the jar of the blender and it flies into the hallway, where Nutty begins to chase it.
Lumpy is almost done with Toothy's eye surgery. When he requests the glass eye, he accidentally drops it on the floor, where it bounces away. The jawbreaker then rolls into place. Lumpy unknowing picks up the jawbreaker instead, and he implants it in Toothy's eye socket. Lumpy then realizes that there is no pupil on the "eye," so he grabs a Magic Marker to draw one instead and, for the sake of it, also draws a French moustache on Toothy's face.
Inside the hallway, Nutty peeks through the door window, and sees his jawbreaker in Toothy. Nutty then grabs Toothy's gurney and rides outside with it, prompting Lumpy to run out the building and yell at Nutty to come back with his patient. As Nutty and Toothy ride away, the gurney hits a rock on the road, making Nutty fall off. Needing to find a way to chase after Toothy, Nutty sees something. Elsewhere, the Mole is selling hot dogs, and Mime is one of his customers. When Mime requests a hot dog with ketchup, the Mole tries to dispense some ketchup, but the ketchup dispenser is empty, so he proceeds to switch the containers. As he's doing so, Nutty comes by and swiftly steals the hot dog cart. As Mime looks on in shock, the Mole unknowingly stakes the nozzle right into Mime's head, killing him. When the Mole presses down the nozzle, the nozzle dispenses blood and guts instead of ketchup.
Now, Nutty is starting to chase after Toothy in hopes that he would get his treat back. Unfortunately, for Nutty, he's moving too slow, and Toothy begins to ride away fast. Nutty gets all worried, and he realizes that in order to catch up to him, he has to lighten the load of his vehicle.
First, he throws away the bucket of hot dog water. The water lands on Russell, which gives him severe 3rd degree burns. Next, Nutty gets rid of a couple cans of soda, and one of them is shaken pretty violently. It lands near Disco Bear, who decides to drink it. However, due to the amount of pressure in the can, it explodes when Disco Bear opens it, completely destroying his body, leaving nothing but his afro intact. Lastly, Nutty gets rid of the umbrella and throws it away like a javelin. Flaky, who's nervously walking on the sidewalk, spots the umbrella. It lands in her mouth, then suddenly, it opens up, stretching her mouth wide open, killing her (it was confirmed by a staff member that she died).
Nutty finally catches up to Toothy as they enter a junkyard. Nutty tries removing the jawbreaker from Toothy's eye socket, just as a confused Toothy wakes up from the anesthetic. The two scream as they see that they're headed for a group of pipes. Because Nutty jumped back on the hot dog cart, he bounces over the pipes while Toothy goes through them, his blood and organs filling up some loose hot dog buns. The jawbreaker flies out of one of the pipes and lands on one of the old cars in the lot. Nutty runs over to the car and tries in vain to eat the jawbreaker, when suddenly his bottom jaw rips off. He looks up, revealing that his lower jaw ripping off was due to a car magnet. Nutty tries to jump off, but before he can, the car he's standing on gets attracted to the magnet, crushing his body, and the only thing preventing him from getting killed is the jawbreaker. Even though he's in great pain and can't even move, Nutty still wants to eat the jawbreaker. Suddenly, because of the pressure being put between the jawbreaker and the magnet and car squeezing it, the jawbreaker begins to crack. And before you know it, the jawbreaker breaks apart, crushing what remains of Nutty, giving what he deserves for his selfish actions.
Elsewhere, Lumpy is seen at a golf course. He yells out "Fore!", as he swing his golf club at the glass eye that was suppose to go in Toothy's empty eye socket.
"Keep a stiff upper lip"
- Mime is stabbed in the head by a ketchup dispenser's nozzle.
- Disco Bear is blown up when he opens a severely shaken can of soda.
- Flaky is killed when an umbrella opens up in her mouth. (it was confirmed by Warren Graff)
- Toothy is slammed into a group of pipes, impaling him and shooting his organs and blood through the pipes.
- Nutty is crushed between a car and a junkyard's car magnet.
- Nutty's attempt to bite a jawbreaker into two results in his jaw breaking.
- Nutty bites off half of his tongue after an attempt to open his clenched teeth fails.
- Toothy lost his left eye in an unknown way.
- Russell is scalded by a bucket of boiling water after Nutty mistakenly throws it at him.
- A car magnet tears off Nutty's lower jaw.
Survival Rate
- Amount of surviving main characters: 4
- Amount of dead main characters: 5
- Total: 44.4%
- Nutty snips the wires on his teeth with cable-cutters.
- A blender shatters when Nutty places a jawbreaker inside.
- Nutty steals a hot dog cart and spills some of it's contents, he then proceeds to throw more items from the cart to move faster.
- The hot dog cart crashes into the back of some pipes.
- The metal supporting Nutty's lower jaw is torn off by a car magnet.
- Lumpy actually has more of a featuring role than a starring role in this episode.
- The candy on Nutty's body changes places numerous times.
- Lumpy's antlers change directions numerous times.
- Nutty shouldn't have been able to taste the apple juice, considering most of his tongue was cut off earlier in the episode.
- The tea cup that Nutty drank with should have been overflowed with sugar, considering the fact that the amount of sugar poured in was bigger than the cup.
- The caramel apple on Nutty's head sticks over the mask, not on Nutty, where it should be. This could only be so if Lumpy took it off and put it back on.
- When the can of soda lands next to Disco Bear, the top of the can isn't facing him. But in the very next shot, when Disco Bear picks it up, the top is now facing him.
- Lumpy applied a lock to the back of Nutty's face mask, but after Lumpy notices Nutty's rumbling stomach, the lock disappeared for the rest of the episode.
- Mime's wristwatch appears out of nowhere, and vanishes after he checks it.
- When Giggles calls Lumpy over, she is clearly seen without a wristwatch. Shortly afterwards, she is looking at her wristwatch, which disappears again as she puts her wrist behind her back and back in front.
- When Nutty rides down the hill on the hot dog cart, the ketchup and mustard dispensers are missing.
- For some reason the car isn't effected by the car magnet until Nutty stands on it. The car should have already been attached to the magnet long before Nutty arrived to the junkyard.
- The title of this episode is a pun of the phrase "You said a mouthful", which means to recite something to the exact detail.
- When this episode aired along with Blast from the Past and See What Develops on YouTube, the alternate title for the trio of segments was "Behind the Eight Ball". Lumpy, Toothy, and Giggles appear in all three episodes. Toothy dies in all three and Giggles dies twice, while Lumpy survives in all three.
- However, Lumpy does die in Blast from the Past, but "revives" due to the time traveling.
- This is the least viewed episode in the TV series.
- When Nutty goes through his morning routine, the music playing is the same music from the arcade game Sugar High.
- When Toothy is seen without an eye, his ear wiggles like an otter's ear does in a Nat Geo Wild TV spot.
- This is the first and only episode in the TV series to have Nutty appear without Sniffles.
- When Russell is scalded by the water, the results are like an Australian workplace safety PSA, though unlike in the PSA, no skin is seen missing from his face in this episode.
- This episode reveals that the reason Nutty has candy all over his body is because he treats it as if it were actual clothing/wardrobe, as is shown in the beginning of this episode.
- This episode reveals that Nutty sleeps on a pile of candy wrappers, despite owning a bed.
- This episode contains one of four instances in the series that Nutty can be seen without candy adorning his body. The other three instances are in Nuttin' Wrong with Candy, A Sucker for Love, and the False Alarm episode.
- This is one of the few TV episodes that focuses on a specific part of the body (jaw). The others are A Sight for Sore Eyes (eyes), Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow (ears), and A Change of Heart (heart).
- Nobody dies until 6 minutes into the episode.
- This is one of the few episodes to show a characters morning routine the other episodes are Easy Comb, Easy Go, Ipso Fatso (both Disco Bear) Sea What I Found (Russell), and Wishy Washy (Petunia).
- A lot of the background music in this episode is later reused in the False Alarm episode.
- Interestingly, Nutty's death takes place in the junkyard in this episode, whereas the tenth and final zone of the False Alarm video game is indeed, the junkyard.
- The music playing when Disco Bear dies is the same music used in Who's to Flame? when the city explodes.
- All the deaths in this episode have something to do with metal.
- The three characters who get items thrown at them by Nutty (Russell, Disco Bear, and Flaky) are the same characters who survive in The Wrong Side of the Tracks.
- Toothy missing an eye could be a reference to Eye Candy.
- At Lumpy's office, if one looks closely, a diagram of a bear can be seen.
- Nutty merely escapes Toothy's fate, but later dies a similar way in The Carpal Tunnel of Love.
- The screw that Lumpy uses on Nutty's mask has reversed threads. Lumpy uses a drill with a driver bit to tighten the screw with counter-clockwise motion; normal screws tighten with a clockwise motion.
- In reality, these reversed thread screws do exist.
- This is one of the episodes where Lumpy does his job properly (with the exception of putting the jawbreaker in Toothy's eye, drawing a dot on it, and then drawing him a mustache).
- This is the second episode in which Nutty receives an injury to his jaw. The first is in Nuttin' but the Tooth. He would later injure his jaw yet again in the HTF break, Bite Sized.
- Just like in Class Act and the False Alarm episode, Nutty is responsible for everyone's deaths.
- If one notices, the exterior of Nutty's house looks like a candy cane because of its stripes.
- When the jawbreaker begins to break, the cracks look like veins on an eye.
- Lumpy wears the same golf outfit he does in Tongue in Cheek. That episode might possibly take place after this one, given that Lumpy and The Mole reappear but not any of the characters who die.
- The mask locked into Nutty's head and his broken jaw injury may be a reference to the reverse bear trap in Saw.
- As one would expect from Nutty's nature, the candy cane-shaped bedposts on his bed have bites taken out of them.

At Southern California Cardiac Electrophysiology we strive to deliver personalized, friendly, state-of-the-art cardiac care and heart rhythm management. We specialize in evaluation of arrhythmia's (irregular heart beat), palpitations, syncope (passing out), presyncope (near passing out), congestive heart failure, and medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators.
In addition we offer full cardiac evaluations including stress testing, cardiac imaging, vascular imaging, and laboratory services. We also specialize in implantation of medical devices as well as performing cardiac ablations (radiofrequency cauterization) to correct irregular heartbeats.
Fellow of the American college of a cardiology (FACC)
A bit about my background… I am originally from New York but grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. I took my undergraduate education at UCLA with a College Honors major in general biology. I later attended Georgetown University where I earned my Master's degree in Physiology and Biophysics. I returned to California and completed my medical school training at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California.
While as a medical student I spent time at clinical training sites such as The Cleveland Clinic, UCLA, USC, UC Irvine, Broward County Hospital (Ft. Lauderdale), and St. Barnabas Hospital (Bronx). As a medical student, I was Chair of the student research program and participated in many research projects and regional scientific conferences. I was also the President of the International Medical Student Association and spent a summer on clinical rotation in cardiology in Santander, Spain.
When I completed medical school I completed my internship in Internal Medicine at the UCLA/Wadsworth VA program followed by my completion of Internal Medicine Residency at UCLA/Wadsworth as well. I subsequently completed my Cardiology Fellowship at the UCLA VA/Olive View program and went on to complete my Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) Fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
I was recruited after my training at Cedars to come to Bakersfield to provide Electrophysiology services to Kern County. I have been in 2 group practices in Bakersfield prior to opening my own solo practice. In the 5 years I have been in Bakersfield we have grown the cardiac electrophysiology services at our local EP labs including expanding our ability to perform complex ablations.
I am currently the Chief of the division of Cardiology at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital and sit on the local board of the American Heart Association. I have fought and succeeded to bring external defibrillators as a life-saving tool to the entire Kern High School District and hope to someday see them in all schools in Kern County.
I am Board Certified in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, and Nuclear Cardiology.
I am an avid fisherman, car enthusiast, and a big fan of my Alma Mater's football team (UCLA) attending games at the Rose Bowl on a regular basis.
I look forward to meeting you and providing excellence in cardiac and electrophysiology care to meet your individual needs.

Jauvon Gilliam is Principal Timpani of the National Symphony Orchestra.
I'm sitting at the back of the bus heading back to the hotel after our first concert in Wheeling, WV. My first few days on my first tour with the NSO have been a blast. I've gotten to know many of the orchestra members and have already made several friends in my first four weeks of being here.
We arrived at the hotel on Monday to a beautiful West Virginia day and I immediately went down to take a walk along the Monongahela River. After my short walk, I met with a few friends and we went to the welcome reception and then to grab a bite to eat before the NCAA National Championship game. I had a very special interest in the game, as I am a proud Butler Alum, c/o '01. We didn't win, but I'm very proud of my school!
Tuesday morning I went on a 3 mile run and then took a nice swim in the hotel pool and sat in the hot tub. After lunch and another walk, it was almost time to board the buses for our Wheeling concert.
The Capitol Theatre, our venue for the evening, is an historic building that has lots of old world charm. I'm not playing the first half of the concert, so I got a chance to sit out and enjoy the music. The audience loved it! I heard one couple comment on how they really enjoyed the cymbals. Go, Ken! [Ken Harbison, NSO percussion section]
After three curtain calls and The Stars and Stripes Forever encore, the audience left humming a very happy tune. If this is indication of how the rest of the tour is going to be, West Virginia, you're in for a royal treat!
Next stop, Morgantown!

NUTLEY — A 10-year-old dog was in an idling car when the vehicle was stolen from a convenience store in Nutley, according to a report on the CBS-2 website.
Valentino, a Maltese who has heart problems and needs antibiotics, was inside the black 2011 Hyundai Sonata when a man drove off with the car at a 7-Eleven on Passaic Avenue in Nutley around 11 a.m. Monday, the report said.
The owner, Lisa Villacari of Belleville, had gone in the store to purchase water and left the engine running, according to the report.

Poll: Have you discovered an ancestral home?
Census records are a fantastic tool.
However, the details in the records leave much to the imagination. That is - of course - until you investigate the address listed on the census entry.
It's the part of the puzzle that brings context to the lives of our ancestors. The type of house, the bedroom-to-inhabitant ratio, the local area and surrounding industry - these are all fascinating elements that help us visualise our ancestors' lives.
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a not-too-distant home that was shared among a few generations on my maternal side. Lavish, it wasn't; however, the insight into their lifestyle was a humbling experience.
Let us know in the poll below if you've visited any ancestral homes. Alternatively, please leave a comment below.
Search for your ancestors:
- Barham Manor in Kent on my ex-husband's side of family. Prior to being given to William Middleton, Lord of the Admirality. Last Lord Barham went to Virginia US. Name carried on by female members in UK, who married into poor (at that time) Brunger family. Laterally seen Brunger House in Tenterden, Kent which looks very nice and was on market last year.
- The Wayside Inn, in Sudbury, MA I have been back to visit many time, it was a gold mine of imformation.
- My great-great grandfather John Walker Bott was a builder. Twice on the census the house he was living in was named "Bott's Buildings" - presumably built by him. Sadly, I think these have been cleared to make way for Birmingham dual carriageways.
I do have a nice photo of a terraced house in Manchester where his son, John Bott lived.
- My ancestor Robert Rigbywas out poaching being a poor man andillerate money was tight and he poached to put food on the Table. on one of his expiditions he saved the life of a boy who was drowning who was the son of The Lord of the manor who rewarded him by deeding a house called The Beechs Chester Rd Hartford Chester. He was often brought before the magistrates one of whom swindled him out of his property.Robert would shout out in court that it was th magistrate who the theif because he had stole his home. he received a small fine and was bvundled out of the court to shut him up he never retreived his house.
- The most moving for me to date was Penrith Workhouse Cumbria or whats left of it where my relative was put once her sister had died and she was left on her own. The date she entered and each individual day she was there until she died 7 years later are all recorded and seeing her name in the register was very moving.
- My late wife's maternal lineage included John Gold the Crusader, born about 1195. He was awarded an estate at Seaborough in Somersetshire. We visited there 21 years ago. The existing manor house was built after John's time and parts of it have been taken away, so it's about a third of its original size. John's effigy is displayed in the adjacent church building. It is alleged to have originally been displayed outside the building but was moved to protect it from vandalism during the Cromwell administration, when the family remained loyal to the crown.
- Recently I have heart about big efforts of João Crisóstomo, Portuguese in New York, to keep running the foundation for preservation and reconstruction of home of great humanitarian, ARISTIDES DE SOUSA MENDES, who saved over 30.000 people during II. World war, giving them visas to escape from holocaust. His home, 'CASA DO PASSAL' stands as a reminder of the act of heroism by this great man, of whom Portugal can so rightly be proud. It has been designated as a National Monument and belongs to all mankind, but there is a big threat, that it will continue its sad history and collapse...
Aristides de Sousa Mendes had big family with 14 children. It would be very interesting to hear about their family tree. His descendants were former refugees, since the Portuguese regime (Salazar) already during the 1941 dishonored and disgraced the diplomat Sousa Mendes. His grandsons, along with friends from all around the world, continue honouring the memory of this great humanitarian and try to preserve his home working as the Fundação Aristides de Sousa Mendes, which owns this edifice.
See about the diplomate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristides_de_Sousa_Mendes
and about the status of his home "RuinArt":
- My husband had a dowry document for his grandmother, who had lived in a small town in Sicily when she married. When we went to Italy, I insisted that we go to Sicily to the town where they had lived before they departed for America 99 years before. It was in a small town called Palazzo Adriano, and we managed, with the help of the local Historical Society, to track their house down, even though the name of the street had been changed. It was a very emotional moment for my husband - who has never forgotten it, and he was able to send photos of the house and the town to other family members. That connection to the past is an important component of his life. You just don't know how much it will mean to you until you experience it.
- The Dana and Deleissegues Adobes in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, California
- I absolutely bveiele that! My granddaughter craves those stories. My daughters do too, which is why I love telling them and I'm writing them down too. This is the legacy I will leave my family, especially since I can't leave them money! LOLThanks for your comment.
- It is so important to honor those who came before us. All our ancestors molded who we are, there's a little of each of them in us. I was so excited when I found the Harris Family Ancestral Home in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, England. It's called Creeksea Manor. It has, in my opinion, a grand history. Today, it is privately owned, and the owners lease it out for elegant weddings and meetings. I would love to visit some day and walk on the Harris Lands. Maybe, I could spend the night there in my grandfathers home.

Tamron 70-200mm, 90mm VC Lenses Hands-On Photos
Latest Camera Reviews
Want to see exactly what the new, stabilised Tamron 90mm Macro and 70-200mm lenses VC look like in the flesh? We have compiled a hands-on gallery for your perusal.
21 hands-on photographs of the new Tamron SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 VC USD and SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD lenses.
The Tamron 70-200mm VC will be available towards the end of the year, with the price still to be confirmed. It replaces the current 70-200m lens which doesn't have vibration compensation. The new Tamron 90mm Macro VC will hopefully also make its debut in 2012 and will cost around £799, with the venerable non-VC version continuing at a £399 price-point.

What's the RRP on the 90mm Macro? Is this on par with the Canon 100mm L Macro?
RRPs for these lenses have yet to be announced.
Im sure the 90 will cost less than the typical Nikkor or Canon Macro Lens. --but it will be just as good or better. The 90mm Tamron has a long tradition of excellence.

The goal of the Autism Research Group is to advance the field of knowledge of the causes and treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Current projects focus on the investigation of the management of behavioral symptoms of ASD, as well as the identification of biomarkers that would help to develop targeted treatments.
Our investigators are also interested in understanding the etiology of ASD. This includes efforts to identify subgroups of persons with ASD that may be most appropriate for specific future interventions. We participate in a project focused on cognitive behavioral therapy and novel approaches to the treatment of social impairment and communication in children with autism.
To improve the quality of studies in this field, we are working to develop outcome measures for use in ASD treatment trials. Our current quantitative outcome measure development is focused on expressive language sampling and use of a new social preference eye tracking procedure.

addition : You are also supposed to eat 1gram per pound of lean body mass. <- of protein
I recently purchased the primal blueprint and have been spending a lot of time on the forums trying to get a good idea of how I should approach this diet. I have been on it for a week, and have definitely been feeling the effects of the "induction flu" that I have read about on this forum. The symptoms are getting better though. I have no idea if my body has entered ketosis yet though. What I am mostly concerned about is how do I balance all the numbers I have seen on this diet.
Griff has mentioned that you need to eat about 70% fat in you diet and 10% carbs.
You are also supposed to eat 1gram per pound of lean body mass.
I am also concerned because I have read insanely ranging numbers as far as how many calories you are supposed to get. (Mark had a post saying he had sometimes 500-1000 calories less per day).
The simple fact is I am full a lot on this diet and am just not hungry, but I know my calorie intake is still low.
I guess my question is, How do I make all of this work together?

addition : You are also supposed to eat 1gram per pound of lean body mass. <- of protein
Well, first, stop trying to go by calories. When you're hungry, eat until you feel satisfied (not stuffed) and then stop, and don't eat again until you are hungry again. It's okay for your caloric intake to be low because you're eating the food your body needs instead of just the empty carb calories that get pushed on us by CW.
Buy Ketostix and see if you're in ketosis by peeing on them. They're not that expensive. You can get them at any pharmacy.
You don't need to "balance and track" unless you stall, really. Eat meat, eggs, fish, animal fat, minimal fruit, the occasional handful of nuts or small square of 70% or better chocolate, no grains or legumes or processed foods, and plenty of low-starch veggies. It's a lot simpler than most people think it's going to be.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

So I really don't need to pay attention to calories? Sometimes, I only eat two meals a day because I'm just not hungry. I was certain that I was going to start burning muscle instead of fat or something.
Ha no. Keep insulin levels low, protein at a moderate level and keep good fats high and you will burn....fat. Yes fat. Because that is what muscles burn for energy when there aren't any carbs. You have a lot of stored fuel on your body and if you're getting adequate micronutrients you just might not be hungry. Your body sees the famine as over.

Well Thanks for all the help. You guys made this a lot easier (and I mean a LOT). I was very worried that I wasn't going to be able to do this because I couldn't seem to get the numbers right.
Thanks again,

The threat of rain didn't scare the record turnout at the 13th annual city-sponsored marathon. About 400 people ran the 26.2-mile full marathon, about 1,200 ran the 13.1-mile half marathon and more than 1,200 ran the 5K Run/Walk. There was also a short Kid K Fun Run for those under the age of 12.
About 1,100 volunteers cheered and passed out water at each mile marker of a course that snaked along the streets, paseos and trails of Valencia and Saugus. The race started and ended at the Westfield Valencia Town Center and some of the busiest streets were closed briefly as runners scurried through the city.
The marathon is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon in April.
At 7:25 a.m., a dozen Girl Scouts from Troop 8712 stood near the Santa Clara River near Magic Mountain Parkway and Bouquet Canyon Road handing out drinks to the 5K runners. The Junior Girl Scout troop has manned Mile Marker 18 at each marathon for the past four years.
"I think we're important because we cheer them on," said nine-year-old Kayla Konrad of Valencia. "We cheer them on so they don't fail."
The first runners passing through were "coming really fast," Konrad said. "They wouldn't even take a water or anything."
Forty-year-old Vicky Minniss of Valencia completed her first full marathon Sunday after being free of both breast cancer and uterine cancer for two years. She finished in just over six hours.
"It wasn't too bad physically," she said. "Strictly based on the mental side, I'd probably be an Olympian."
She has fought cancer off and on for the past nine years and her doctor said she would never run, she said.
"He said 'Never.' That mindset doesn't sit well with me," she said. "I think the bottom line is somebody putting limitations on what you can do without seeing what strengths you can build along the way."
Thirteen-year-old Madeline Dignadice, of Saugus, finished the half marathon in two hours and seven minutes. She's on the cross-country team at Rio Norte Junior High School and this was her first half marathon, she said.
"I did a 10K in April, so my dad and I decided what the heck, it's just six more miles or so until you're done," she said.
She's planning to compete in another half marathon in Seattle later this month. She said she was able to finish Sunday's race because she kept her pace consistent.
"People make a lot of mistakes by going super fast in the beginning, so my mom and I just went at a slow pace," she said.
She said she would look at the person in front of her and give them a name and then pass the runners one by one.
"I had this guy that had an American bandana so I called him America boy. I would try and pass him and then find a new person (to pass)."
By mid morning, there were patches of blue sky and the temperature climbed about 10 degrees. Even if it had rained, it probably wouldn't have affected the runners much, said Mayor Bob Kellar.
"They don't mind. If you run in a marathon, you've done a lot of running and you're not going to be intimidated with a little water," he said.
Camarillo resident Stacey Stapleton competes in marathons across the country and said Santa Clarita's course was an unusual one.
"Most marathons you just run on the streets," she said. "We ran on a bike path ... I had no idea it was such a beautiful city here."
Stapleton ran the half marathon in one hour and 55 minutes, five minutes longer than she wanted. She blamed herself for starting the race too enthusiastically.
"I'm a 43-year-old and I still act like a kid," she said. "Once you use that energy, you can't get it back."
Unlike the New York City Marathon, which was also on Sunday, the Santa Clarita Marathon was "a family race," she said.
"All along the condos, people were coming out and cheering for you," she said. Families sat on their front porches and cheered for the runners, she said.
Stapleton shies away from traveling long distances to compete in marathons because of a growing trend for runners to go green.
"My partner and I try not to drive anywhere to run," she said. "We try to run closer races because of the green thing."
Race director Patrick Downing said the recent economic crisis likely keeps runners closer to home.
"I think the sluggish economy has some people trying to stay local. They can enjoy a Boston-qualifing marathon in their own backyard."

"Dirtied" molecular Velcro is sticky enough to bind selected objects but weak enough to permit their two-dimensional diffusion. [Biozentrum, University of Basel]
The nuclear membrane is porous, but the pores are lined with proteins that may facilitate or retard the passage of different particles. Some particles, it seems, have the right kind of surface. These particles stick to the inner surface of a nuclear pore—but not too tightly. It is as if they are able to use a molecular-scale version of Velcro.
Once stuck, the particles are constrained. That is, their diffusional wanderings are limited to the pore's surface. Non-sticking particles keep floating in three dimensions, and so they are less likely to travel through the pore.
Granted, in our macroscale world, an object fixed by means of Velcro cannot slide to and fro. But at the nanoscale, things work a little differently.
To make sense of nanoscale Velcro, researchers at the University of Basel, the University of Cambridge, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne created an artificial model of the nuclear pore complex. This model, which appeared June 15 in Nature Nanotechnology, reconstituted the "two-dimensional diffusion of colloidal particles on a molecular brush surface."
In the artificial system, nuclear pores were lined with Velcro-like proteins—phenylalanine-glycine nucleoporins (FG nups), which are known to facilitate selective transport through nuclear pore complexes in eukaryotic cells. Further, binding to FG nups was possible only for particles specially marked with import proteins. Such binding, however, could be too strong.
Particles to be transported need to bind; however, they should not bind so tightly that even two-dimensional diffusion (diffusion along the pore's inner surface) is restrained.
The researchers found that particles could be made to stick more or less tightly depending on whether the Velcro-like surface was filled or "dirtied" with import proteins. The details were spelled out in the Nature Nanotechnology article, which was entitled "Selective transport control on molecular Velcro made from intrinsically disordered proteins".
"Local and ensemble-level experiments involving optical trapping using a photonic force microscope and particle tracking by video microscopy, respectively, reveal that 1 µm-sized colloidal particles bearing nuclear transport receptors called karyopherins can exhibit behavior that varies from highly localized to unhindered two-dimensional diffusion," wrote the authors. "Particle diffusivity is controlled by varying the amount of free karyopherins in solution, which modulates the multivalency of Kap-binding sites within the molecular brush."
The authors concluded that FG Nups resemble stimuli-responsive molecular Velcro that can impart a "reduction of dimensionality" as a means of biomimetic transport control in artificial environments.
"Understanding how the transport process functions in the nuclear pore complex was decisive for our discovery," explained Roderick Lim, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Basel. "With the nanoscale 'Velcro' we should be able to define the path to be taken as well as speed up the transport of selected particles without requiring external energy."
Practical applications, added Dr. Lim, might include nanoscale conveyor belts, escalators, or tracks. In addition, the "dirty Velcro" effect could be applied to further miniaturize lab-on-chip technology, tiny labs on chips, where this newly discovered method of transportation could make today's complex pump and valve systems obsolete.

HP's HR Communications group knew it had to overhaul its Web site when the number of pages reached over 10,000—many attracting few visitors. Chris Gee, managing director of Splendid Communications, has engineered his share of Web redos for clients. Here's his tell-tale signs that your site needs work.
1. Your site looks and behaves like a brochure: Back in the dot com days, the emphasis was for brands to simple establish a "Web presence." They literally moved their print assets onto the web and created "brochureware" sites. In 2011 that simply does not cut it.
2. There is no clear call to action: You have driven your target audience to your site. Now what? It needs to be crystal clear what they should do next or you will lose them. Should they fill out a form to receive an offer? Should they sign up to be the first to try your new product? Your site's information hierarchy should make this clear within 3 seconds of a visit.
3. Search is the most commonly used feature on your site: Unless your site is like Amazon and you offer hundreds of products and services, most users should be able to find the information they need via your site navigation and without needing to use site search.
4. Your site is not mobile-optimized: According to Gartner, by the end of 2011, more users will connect to the Web via devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) than with personal computers. Simply put, if your site is not optimized for mobile, you are not servicing your audience of today and it is causing you to miss opportunities.

SALEM -A Pennsylvania man suspected of a rash of burglaries in Stark County was arrested by Salem police early Friday morning on West State Street.
According to court documents, Robert L. McMaster, 43, of Ambridge, Pa., was driving on West State Street shortly after 2 a.m. when he was pulled over by a Salem officer for speeding.
The officer, Brandon Smith, was running radar from the Adamson Veterinary Services parking lot when he saw a vehicle drive past and clocked it at about 36 miles per hour, according to the report. The posted speed on that road is 25 miles per hour.
Smith stopped the vehicle in the Circle K parking lot and spoke to the driver, who said he did not have his driver's license on him and gave his name as Charles McMaster, a date of birth and a Social Security number.
After running the information through the system, Smith believed McMaster was not telling the truth and asked him how old he was, to which he responded he was 45, although he had given his birth year as 1965, which would make him 47. Smith confronted McMaster about the misinformation but he denied giving the wrong identification, according to the Salem police report.
Another Salem officer then arrived to assist Smith with the traffic stop and told him he believed the man was Robert L. McMaster, and that he was wanted by Stark County officials for several burglaries and had active warrants out through that county.
Smith ran a background check on Robert L. McMaster and a Bureau of Motor Vehicles photograph matched the driver of the vehicle who had identified himself as Charles McMaster, who is actually his older brother.
McMaster was then taken in custody on the warrants and charged with two counts obstructing official business, failure to comply, two counts driving under suspension restriction, marked lanes and speeding.
He appeared in county Municipal Court later that day pleaded not guilty to speeding, driving under suspension restriction and obstructing official business. A pretrial was set for Sept. 27.

An Erie man has been cleared of all charges he sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in 2010.
Dajaun O. Smith, 31, was found not guilty following a jury trial Wednesday in Erie County Court of charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors and indecent assault. President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. also granted a motion for a judgment of acquittal on a charge of aggravated indecent assault, according to court records.
Police had accused Smith molesting the girl at an East 24th Street residence sometime in the fall of 2010.

The question on this CEF is whether or not management bought too early in subprime mess back in late July and early August. Recent management buying would indicate that management does not think so. Listening to the conference calls it is obvious that the subprime issues did not catch these guys completely off balance and they had some idea of the scope of the situation back in the summer. The fund has no debt, management has not missed a dividend, ever, the exposure to residential is minimal and there is no direct subprime exposure. The recent declines must be attributed to tax loss harvesting. With the fed cutting rates an 11.7% yeild is very attractive in an asset based fund selling $2 below NAV. I bought at 18 and although I need a tax loss I will be looking elsewhere and doubling down on this fund.
If you are going to double down, at what price would you go in. This here is just off the 52 week low of $12.70.I will going in a little before 4pm today as I think it is real close to a bottom though not quite yet. I am not going all in but rather in pieces and today will be one piece.If you are in at 18, a double down here will get you to around 15.50 real quick overall.Just a thought as I am still very leary of the RE market overall but like the yield here.
Opened a position just before closing at $13.28. Will be adding based on what I read from here on and this Board's input.This IPO'd at $20.00 on 04/26/07 and has been going down since but still paying the $.1267 dividend monthly. At this PPS the yield is about 11.4%. I think it is a good enough yield to start to accumulate in hopes of possible mid year 2008 RE firming. Therefore I'm playing for Divi with a side bet on some capital appreciation. Input welcome.Also looking at AOD RTU EOD EDD. Already have AGD and ADVDX in the Alpine family. No positions in others , yet.

Millcreek gets firm quote for water study
Millcreek Township supervisors now know exactly how much it would cost for a consultant to place a recommended value on the Millcreek Water Authority's assets.
And they will decide whether to hire that consultant at their meeting Tuesday morning.
Earlier this week, the supervisors postponed by one week a vote on which company would do a valuation study of the Millcreek authority's assets, which would include water pipes, water storage tanks and booster stations.
Supervisor John Groh urged the delay because one of those submitting a quote didn't say how much it would charge for expenses.
The quote from professional engineer Frank Impagliazzo, of Media, and Snavely King Majoros & Associates, of Landover, Md., stated that they would do the job for $19,500, plus expenses. But the didn't provide a dollar amount for those expenses.
Supervisor Richard Figaski asked the consultant for the total cost and received an answer: $22,000, including expenses.
The other consultant under consideration would charge a lump sum of $45,135. That consultant is Hazen and Sawyer Environmental Engineers & Scientists, which has a regional office in Cincinnati. It would team with a subconsultant, the Municipal & Financial Services Group.
Figaski said he plans to vote for Impagliazzo and the Snavely group based on their expertise and the lower cost. "Unless somebody can turn me around, that's it," he said.
Supervisor Brian McGrath said he probably would vote for Hazen and Sawyer, saying he thinks that consultant has "much more experience in doing valuations of municipal authorities, and their proposal included much more detail in terms of who would actually do the work."
As for the higher cost, McGrath said, "The cost difference between the two is less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the possible sales price."
Groh would be the apparent swing vote, and he said Thursday that he had not yet decided because he wants to review the updated quote.
But Groh said seeking a cap on the expenses was the responsible thing to do, so the supervisors would have an "apples-to-apples" comparison between the two quotes.
The study will help the supervisors decide on a proper price for a sale of the assets to Erie Water Works, which would provide water service to about 7,400 households now served by the authority. Erie Water Works already supplies water to about 10,000 other Millcreek households.
The supervisors would dissolve the authority and then sell the assets to Erie Water Works. The money from the sale would go into the township's budget, and it could be used to hire more police officers and pave more streets.

Great news for Samantha!
While I'm really happy Samantha Cesario has a second GP (and that USFSA showed confidence in her by giving her the Skate America spot), there's also a small part of me that is really sad Hannah Miller's shot at spot on the senior GP is basically gone now. I was holding out hope that Cesario might end up with a replacement spot at another GP and Hannah could get the Skate America spot (the only GP spot she realistically has a shot at).
And I am happy Mirai will get to enjoy a home GP for the first time since I think 2008. And Cesario certainly deserved a second spot. I'm sad for Miller who is a US favorite of mine who stupidly wasn't assigned to 2013 JW and then had a badly timed injury in fall 2013. Hopefully this fall she can set herself up better for next season at some senior Bs.
I'm really perplexed as why to A/S haven't gotten the SA nod yet. Especially with their coach already there for S/K. I can't imagine Nate and Gretchen could be ready...but maybe? Or perhaps Blackmer or Brittany Simpson and their new partners are looking strong?
The Shibutanis in the 2011-2012 GP season skated at Cup of China in Shanghai then skated NHK Trophy the following week and won. The time difference was shorter --- only an hour.

The whole country's going to hear about Jersey City, at least if local band Perennial Reel gets their way.
Bassist Timothy Erbach, 20, and drummer Rory Bauers, 22, both of the Jersey City Heights, along with guitarist Evan Dibbs, 18, of Hoboken, are setting out on a 30-city tour Sunday.
The young indie band has gone on a few regional tours, but are going farther out now. In 33 days, they'll go as far south as Savannah and Atlanta, west to the Chicago area and Dibbs's native Ohio, and as far north as Boston and Portland, Maine. In these cities, the trio will be spreading the gospel of "JC"—Jersey City, that is.
"When we go to play places, they'll ask us where we're from and (we have to say) it's like, right next to New York," said Erbach. "It would be really cool to get people to know where Jersey City is. It's a really cool place and there's so much art and music here getting ready to take off."
Their album "Silver Plane Crucifix" is actually a love song to the Heights, including Leonard Gordon Park.
"There's a park near where Rory and I grew up (called) Mosquito Park, and there's a crazy view overlooking cool industrial areas. At night, everything lights up and it's really kind of mesmerizing," said Erbach.
"There's this stigma on New Jersey, that it's just highways and sh---- old factories and stuff like that. But we encourage people to keep a more open mind about everything. Jersey is somewhere to be rather than pass through."
Erbach, who is also the cofounder of local label Mulberry Sound Recordings, has high hopes for JC, especially with concert venue White Eagle Hall set to open soon.
"Our label's nine acts—we're all trying to send them on tour and really establish that Jersey City is a place where art is happening,"he said, adding with a laugh, "We're going to try and see if we can put it on the map."
See Perennial Reel off on their tour Sunday, at 8 p.m. at Muchmore's, 2 Havemeyer St., Brooklyn. Morus Alba, We Are Not Animals and Miracle Sweepstakes will also perform. Admission is $5. Perennial Reel will return and have a homecoming show in Jersey City on July 31, details TBA. For more information, visit spcrucifix.bandcamp.com.

Charleston's ABC television station is on the sales block.
Owner Allbritton Communications Co. said it's exploring "potential strategic alternatives," including a sale of its entire business.
Among the company's main holdings are WCIV-TV ABC News-4 in Mount Pleasant and a stable of other television stations in Washington D.C., Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
"The company has not made a decision to pursue any specific strategic transaction or any other strategic alternative, and there is no timetable for the strategic review process," Allbritton said today in a written statement. "There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternates will result in the consummation of any transaction."
The Arlington, Va.-based company said it would have no further comment until its board reaches a decision.
The move comes less than six months after the death of 87-year-old family patriarch Joe Allbritton, who was one of most influential powerbrokers in the nation's capital through a media conglomerate and a financial empire.
He bought WCIV in January 1976. The station broadcasts from Allbritton Boulevard in Mount Pleasant.

VPN Performance Tests For Different Ciphers and Key StrengthsHave Your Say, TUVPN News Add comments
Continuing with the lively discussion on our post about changing current TUVPN.COM cipher and as we promised there, we have performed a number of tests with different ciphers and key strength combinations that should allow us to take a final decision with better judgement and understanding of the results.
So without further delays, here you have the results:
To perform the test, we have used speedtest.net, connecting always to the same server in their network.
First, you have the results without VPN, so we can have a baseline to compare with.
For your information, the test laptop was located in Sweden and the VPN Servers we used for testing were Chicago and Steinsel.
Speedtest without running OpenVPN
Speedtest Default Cipher (BF-CBC) and Default Key Length (128bit) – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest Default Cipher (BF-CBC) and Default Key Length (128bit) – Steinsel VPN Server
Speedtest AES-CBC and 256bit key – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest AES-CBC and 256bit key – Steinsel VPN Server
Speedtest BF-CBC and 256bit key – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest BF-CBC and 256bit key – Steinsel VPN Server
Up to here we have just been playing with cipher and key length. So we have strengthened the data channel of the VPN.
As Timmi's very interesting comments on our last post point, we can also play with control channel security (the one which creates and maintains the VPN connection).
So now we have a new round of tests, playing too with the strength of the control channel encryption and also with the HMAC packet authentication.
For reference in the control channel we are currently using RSA 1024bit (encryption) and SHA-1-160bit (HMAC packet authentication).
Speedtest Default Cipher (BF-128-CBC) and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest Default Cipher (BF-128-CBC) and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Steinsel VPN Server
Speedtest AES-CBC-256bit key and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest AES-CBC-256bit key and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Steinsel VPN Server
Speedtest BF-CBC-256bit key and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Chicago VPN Server
Speedtest BF-CBC-256bit key and RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit – Steinsel VPN Server
So now WHAT ?
First thing: TUVPN VPN servers are REALLY fast ! Well, we already knew that, but here it has been more than proved !
Second thing: Increasing the cipher strength to 256bit, with both AES or Blowfish, doesn't seem to penalise performance much. As expected, current configuration is faster, but not that much faster.
Third thing: Keeping current configuration and strengthening control channel security again doesn't inflict a noticeable damage to performance.
Fourth thing: Increasing BOTH data channel and control channel security AFFECTS VPN performance. We see a sustained 20% performance decrease.
So, considering that TUVPN's users give a lot of importance to the SPEED of our network, we would not go for a full blown security revamp of the network including both channels.
And, as most users prefer to increase data channel security vs control channel security (agree that many probably don't know about control channel, but at the end of the day we are here, not only to instruct , but also to listen and act on the wishes of the majority of our users ), we are willing to go in that direction.
About AES-CBC-256 or BF-CBC-256, we would have a preference for Blowfish as it has been working pretty well up to know, but let's see WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!
Hope something comes out of this, after so much work !

I'm very pleased to see the results of all this and thank you for the work involved
I agree that having both control & data channels upgraded would be too much of a hit and doesn't surprise me. This is what happens on many there providers who assume they are offering gold dust when actually they are not and its overkill!
Looking at the results carefully I think its a difficult decision and we could do with a vote poll in here for us to use?
For me its between;
BF-128-CBC with RSA 2048bit + SHA-2-512bit
BF-CBC and 256bit key
AES-CBC and 256bit key
All three tests looked good ^ I see no problems with Blowfish, its still widely used at BF-128-CBC with various banks and private consumers with no problems and when AES is used on most banking sites, I have checked and its usually also 128 bits.
As I stated in the other thread from a security article that mentioned in the year 2011 everyone who uses security that makes use of SHA-1 should upgrade to SHA-2.
That being said and the upgrade in the RSA key I would be going with keeping the current data cipher as 128 bit Blowfish and upgrading the RSA & SHA keys.
Something else to improve security could be to have the server keys change regularly and randomly to keep the security & integrity high. I dont know details on this but some providers do that hourly (They say?) so if the key was compromised it is changed quickly.
My final vote is for BF at 256 bit. I would be happy with either but my concern is on that SHA-1 needing to be upgraded to SHA-2 at some stage either soon or future.
Reasons for choosing Blowfish are that its proven to work … we have been using it on the servers touch wood with no problems at all, we trust in it and its not been cracked. Blowfish has no patents to it, no government patents to it, no back doors inside it either! Its open source free for all unlike AES which as I understand is patented, correct me if I'm wrong?

Documentary: Roasted
The short documentary, Roasted isn't just a coffee story. It's a story about a coffee shop that had the audacity to open up across the street from a Starbucks in a dead area outside of San Diego. It's a story about small business and entrepreneurship. Bird Rock Coffee was the 2012 National Micro Roaster of the Year and this documentary sheds a little light on their success.
Most importantly, this documentary is an example of how small roasters and coffee shops love what they do and love sharing it with the world. Make sure you watch past the short credits at the end where Chuck explains how he was attacked by monkey when visiting coffee farms.
