Batter Up
Don't settle for a boring pancake this maple-syrup season. We asked a trio of Ohio bed-and-breakfasts to share a recipe for one of their made-from-scratch creations.
Jill Sell
The Barn Inn's Oatmeal Pancakes are a guest favorite.
Some people think a pancake's mission in life is to lie there quietly and wait until someone smothers it with maple syrup. We say those people have probably only eaten flapjacks made with unexciting boxed mixes. Or they've been subjected to poor cooking techniques that leave the final result charred on the outside and mushy in the center. (The secret is to wait until the griddle is really hot before pouring the batter.) We asked innkeepers and chefs at three Ohio bed-and-breakfasts known for delicious pancakes to share a recipe and advice for making the morning favorite.
The Barn Inn's ...
Oatmeal Pancakes
Located in the middle of Ohio's Amish country, The Barn Inn's guests usually stay multiple days, so they can see and do everything they'd like to during their visit. Loretta Coblentz, who owns the inn with her husband, Paul, varies the breakfast menu so patrons rarely have duplicate meals. But there is one morning dish she's always ready to make.
"My Oatmeal Pancake entree is one I keep on hand at all times," says Coblentz, who found a similar recipe in a magazine and adapted her version over several years. "We always have fresh fruit, good coffee and locally made sausage, as well as other wonderful breakfast entrees. But the recipe for the Oatmeal Pancakes is one that the guests request."
The pancake batter freezes well, which is an advantage for both a B&B owner and busy families who want to enjoy pancakes at home. Coblentz makes the batter at least once a week and stores it in plastic tubs. One quart serves seven people, and the batch makes three, 4-inch pancakes per person.
Coblentz is known for her creative oatmeal dishes, adding that she likes that the ingredient is so versatile while also being a healthy choice. She says her signature dish can even stand alone.
"They are so good on their own," Coblentz says, noting that she always serves them with maple syrup and fruit sauce. "But they go with anything, so it's whatever you want. My staff snacks on leftovers like cookies."
The Barn Inn, 6838 County Rd. 203, Millersburg 44654, 330/674-7600, thebarninn.com
Oatmeal Pancakes
Courtesy of The Barn Inn, Yields 7 servings
4 cups oats (regular or quick)
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
4 eggs
4 cups buttermilk
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
milk for thinning batter
Mix together oats and dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup milk, then add the melted butter, making sure to blend; then add the buttermilk and eggs. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and combine thoroughly. Refrigerate at least eight hours, so that the oatmeal can absorb the liquids. After several hours in the refrigerator, the batter will become thick, so add more milk until desired pouring consistency is obtained. Pancakes can be served with fruit sauce, buttermilk sauce or maple syrup. (Note: For more whole grain, use half whole wheat flour and half regular flour. However, pancakes will scorch very quickly.)
Harkins House Inn's ...
Dutch Babies
Food historians say Dutch Babies, also called Dutch Baby Pancakes, were created in the first half of the 1900s at Manca's Café in Seattle. But the pancake became nationally known following a 1960 article in the western lifestyle magazine Sunset.
Many recipes for Dutch Babies say to make the pancakes in a hot skillet. But Stacey Lucas, owner of Harkins House Inn in Caldwell, pops hers in the oven.
"When you put the pancake batter into the oven, it rises. And when you take them out, it shrinks down a bit and the pancake looks like a little bowl," explains Lucas, who celebrated 20 years as a B&B owner last month.
The pancake's shape makes it convenient for filling with maple syrup, fresh fruit, bananas, scrambled eggs, sauteed apples, nuts, chocolate chips or a Harkins House Inn specialty: homemade strawberry sauce with a dollop of whip cream.
Lucas' inn was originally built as a home for one of the founders of the First National Bank. A 1990s restoration of the 1905 Princess Anne Colonial was made possible after the home's original floor plans were found hidden in a closet.
Dutch Babies are a feel-good, nostalgic type of breakfast that fit Noble County's quaint, country atmosphere — a place Lucas calls "Ohio's Mayberry."
"I don't make Dutch Babies a lot," she says. "They are usually for special occasions or important meetings. But every once in awhile … [someone] requests it. One lady last fall called me and said she wanted to stay at the inn, but only if we still had the Dutch Babies. Luckily, she liked them."
Harkins House Inn, 715 West St., Caldwell 43724, 740/732-7347,
Dutch Babies
Courtesy of Harkins House Inn, Yields 1 pancake
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup all purpose-flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix all ingredients well, preferably with a mixer. Put one tablespoon of butter into a 6- to 8-inch ovenproof dish. (Note: Innkeeper Stacey Lucas uses a
7 1/2-inch cast iron skillet.) Heat in oven until butter is melted. Pour the mixture into the preheated dish and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the pancake is golden brown on the edges and very puffy. Once out of the oven, the pancake will sink and curl on the edges. Fill with toppings of your choice.
Murphin Ridge Inn's
Foggy Bottom Pancakes
Murphin Ridge Inn's famous pancake was created by the B&B's first chef, who worked on crafting the signature menu item until she felt it was exactly right.
"The morning that she felt she had it was one of those great foggy mornings we have around here in spring and summer," says Joshua Catone, Murphin Ridge Inn's current chef. "Fog fills in all the gaps and usually covers the fields and gathers around everything. So she called the dish Foggy Bottom Pancakes."
Catone says the use of cornmeal in the recipe makes the pancakes "nuttier and more interesting than regular pancakes made from white flour." Although the ingredient can often change a recipe's texture, he says Foggy Bottom Pancakes deliver a rich cornmeal flavor while remaining a "traditional, very fluffy pancake."
The B&B serves its Foggy Bottom Pancakes with warmed Ohio maple syrup, berry sauces, and its famous five-spice applesauce. It also sells its pancake mix, which can be ordered by calling or emailing.
"We serve Foggy Bottom Pancakes at least once a weekend," Catone says. "But we also honor requests. There are some weeks we serve them three or four times a week so everyone who wants them gets them."
Murphin Ridge Inn, 750 Murphin Ridge Rd., West Union 45693, 937/544-2263, murphinridgeinn.com

I love it when the "not lawyers" expound on legal issues.
Theft is theft
Copyright infringement is copyright infringement.
Copyright infringement is not theft.
Dilution only applies to trademarks not content that has a copyright. I have never heard of someone loosing their copyright on something to dilution.
There is one error in your quote above: "Copyright infringement is not theft." Wrong. It is theft.
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
Give them a break...they are likely trying to get a site started.

Florida Pastor Died from Overdose in Times Square: Officials
The Florida megachurch pastor who was found dead in his Times Square hotel room in August 2011 was killed by "intoxication by the combined effects of cocaine and heroin," a spokeswoman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Thursday.
Rev. Zachery Tims Jr.'s, death has been ruled an accident, the spokeswoman said.
The disclosure comes after Mr. Tims's family took legal steps to try to prevent the medical examiner from releasing his official cause of death. The lawyer representing Mr. Tims's family, Ricardo Oquendo, did not immediately return a call for comment.
A law-enforcement official said at the time that a white, powdery substance was found in his pocket.
Mr. Tims, who was 42, led a congregation of about 8,000 followers in Orlando at the New Destiny Christian Center.

You may feel more prosperous than usual today, and your mood can prompt you to look for ways to spread your abundance among the people you interact with each day. If you have never before considered how you might lend your assistance to your coworkers, friends, and peers, you may find you have to mull over the unique relationships you share with each of these individuals. In some cases, your prosperity will allow you to go above and beyond the call of duty to those you know are coping with struggles at work or at home. Yet however you make use of your resources today, you will no doubt come to realize how blessed you truly are.
When we channel the abundance we have earned into our efforts to help others prevail over adversity in their own lives, we can be assured that we are making the most of our successes. Whether we offer our assistance in a mentorship role or share our resources with those less fortunate than ourselves, the abundance we have seen manifest in our own lives can become the seed of success in someone else's. We soon come to appreciate the true value of prosperity within the context of the role it has played in our lives as well as the role it can potentially play in the lives of others. Never again will we feel the sting of want, because we know that we truly have so much. You will find it easy to be generous today when you are cognizant of the pleasant weight of your own prosperity.

RICHMOND - Good teams find a way to win.
The Edison baseball team scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to break open a close game en route to a 6-2 victory over East Liverpool Tuesday evening out at Jefferson Lake State Park.
"We had the one big inning," Edison (15-3) head coach Mike Collopy said. "Coach (Ryan) Willis is doing a great job with those kids. He had his kids ready to play. I'm not really sure that we were.
"We had the one big inning. Our at-bats were not good, and that is a credit to their pitcher. We made the plays defensively when we had to. Austin (Horan) pitched a good game. We still have work to do."
The Wildcats led the Potters (7-10) just 1-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth.
"We had one bad inning," Willis said. "The fourth inning killed us. That has been the trend of our season. We have one bad inning, and that puts a damper on the game."
Both teams tallied five hits and three errors on the day.
Horan recorded the win for the Wildcats. Horan struck out four and walked three.
Offensively, Tanner Evans ended up with a double and two RBI, Collin Scott collected two base hits and Dylan Jones delivered a single and an RBI. Also, Nolan Marcus and Collin Skeeles contributed RBI, while Bryce Piatt tallied a single.
"Baseball is a game where you play every day," Collopy said. "You have to leave the past behind you. You have to be ready to play every day. We were not really ready to play today. That falls on my shoulders. We did what we had to do to win."
Hunter Maze took the loss for the Potters. He did not strike out a batter while issuing three free passes.
"He did everything we asked," Willis said. "He threw strikes. He stayed in counts. He worked ahead in counts. He did everything we could have asked. We just fell apart in that one inning."
Offensively, Tyler Recktenwald tallied two base hits, and Jay Lane, Briar Meek and Ryan Bombich each chipped in with one.
"We couldn't come up with the clutch hit," Willis said. "We left way too many runners on base, especially in scoring position. We left runners on second and on third. We couldn't get the big hit when we needed it."
Edison jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a run in the bottom of the second.
The Potters got on the scoreboard in the seventh. East Liverpool plated two runs on an errant pick-off throw to third base.
"It's there," Willis said. "We are hitting the ball. We are putting it in play. We just hit it right at them.
"We played a really-good team today. They are one of the better teams around. My hat is off to them.
"We hit the ball. We put in play. We just put it in play right at people."
It is the final week of the regular season, and both the Wildcats and Potters are getting prepared for postseason play.
"Every game means a lot," Willis said. "I don't want my players thinking a game is not important. I want them to have that fire in the belly in every game no matter what time of the season it is. I want our kids to really want to win. I want them to play hard every game."
Collopy agreed with his counterpart.
"Every game is important," he said. "We have to get better as a team. You get better the more you play. We play every day this week."
The Wildcats defeated the Potters, 8-1, Monday at East Liverpool.
"We will be seeing a lot of them," Willis said. "That is the name of the game. You are not going to get better unless you play good teams. They are a well-coached team. They make the plays. They are a good team. Playing teams like them will only make us better in the long run."
Both teams are scheduled to play at 5 p.m. today at home. Edison will play Carrollton, while East Liverpool will take on rival Beaver Local.
The Potters are scheduled to play three-straight games against the Beavers. The two teams are also scheduled to meet Thursday at Beaver Local.
Beaver Local, the No. 7 seed, will play eighth-seeded East Liverpool at 2:30 p.m. in Ohio Division II Eastern District Sectional Tournament play at Vaccaro Field in Steubenville.
"I wouldn't want it any other way," Willis said. "They are good competition. It is a good rivalry. That's the name of the game. It is fun for the kids. That is what it is all about."
Edison, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, will play the winner of the game between fifth-seeded Cambridge and No. 10 seed Indian Creek at 5 p.m. May 15. The Bobcats and Redskins will play at 5 p.m. Saturday.
"Whether you win or lose, that is in the past," Collopy said. "We have a lot to prepare for. It all starts with us. It is not about what the other teams do. It comes down to if we do what we are supposed to do pitch by pitch, offensively, defensively, with our pitching, being aware of the situation and knowing what to do.
"We are striving to be consistent. We are not real consistent at the plate today. That is a credit to their pitcher."

Mallika Sherawat injured after bike fall
By PTI - MUMBAI

MORGAN COUNTY, Alabama - Bill Hopkins said his "heart stops" whenever he gets a text saying a school bus has been struck by a car.
Hopkins, the superintendent of Morgan County Schools, is justifiably concerned some harm might befall the students or bus driver when a traffic accident occurs. So when he got such a text Thursday, he got that familiar terrible feeling. He was relieved to hear everyone on the bus transporting special needs students was unharmed and the bus had only minor damage.
But imagine how his emotions changed once more when he heard the driver of the car that struck the bus left the scene without stopping to see if anyone was hurt.
The bus had just let out some students on Natural Bridge Road in the Hartselle area and was about to pull out into traffic when a car came toward it, Hopkins said.
"Then this individual just rounded the corner and sideswiped the school bus and kept going," he said. "He drove into a driveway, into a garage, closed the garage door and did not come out until the police officers came and got him out."
A State Trooper said the accident occurred at 4 p.m. on Natural Bridge Road but would not say who, if anyone, was arrested. She said the case is under investigation. A call to State Trooper spokesman Curtis Summerville has not been returned.
Hopkins said he also has not been told who was arrested and on what charges, although he assumed the driver would at least be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. There is no way the driver could have been unaware he struck the bus because the oversize lug nuts from the bus tire ripped into the side of the small car and did a considerable amount of damage, Hopkins said.
"I don't know what people are thinking sometimes," he said. "Anytime we have children under our care, we take that seriously. It makes us nervous anytime a bus is in an accident."
In this case, he said, the outcome could have been much worse if the accident had occurred seconds before as children were exiting the bus, or if the car had struck the bus head-on rather than to the side.
"We're just glad all the children were safe," he said.

Are Mexicans Bullies?
Dear Mexican: I'm a pan blanco, and my wife is puertorriqueña. Our son looks basically white, while a casual observer might admit that there is some Latin going on there. I'm not sure how this pertains to my question—it may or may not be worth mentioning. Our son is a high-functioning autistic 12-year-old. The way he looks and behaves makes him a target for bullies. But he is sweet and innocent, and he doesn't understand sarcasm or how to be cool. He studies hard and gets good grades—he's a classic four-eyed Harry Potter dork. He doesn't bother anyone, but he gets teased and bullied by cruel classmates. It breaks my heart and makes me furious.
Today, a bigger kid came up and twisted his arm behind him, causing him pain. After he told me about it, and as I fought back tears of rage (and, yes, I tell the authorities and they do what they can, but they can't be everywhere at once), he asked me, "Daddy, why is it that every time I'm bullied, it's by a Mexican?"
I'm wondering the same thing. Every time—and I mean every single time—that he's been bullied and tormented since we moved to California three years ago, it's been a Mexican kid. Oh, and the Mexican students are in the minority in his school. A large minority, but a minority nonetheless. It's not like he's the only white kid in the yard. I'm truly at a loss as to why this seems to be so. Are all of these kids beaten by their fathers so they have to take it out on what they might perceive to be a pampered gringo? I'm guessing. Other than teach my kid how to defend himself, I don't see what can be done about it.
Is it cultural? I wonder if you could suggest what I might say to my son to prevent him from hating Mexicans by the time he reaches adulthood, if not before. Or what I might say to myself, for that matter. Why is it always a Mexican kid tormenting my son? Every fuckin' time. Why? I don't like the dark place my mind is going to. Can you help me? —A Good Papi

Dear Readers: The more I think about this question, the more it saddens me—about the bullied kid, of course, but also about the father's thought process. The dad's not a racist pig—just an understandably upset papi. But pendejos exist in every ethnicity, and there's no reason to use those fuck-ups to smear a group as a whole. It's a natural inclination to do so, but a wrong one. To the dad: My best advice is to get on the school administration's ass to protect your beautiful son. And trust me: At some point in his life, there'll be a good Mexican kid who'll kick the asses of those bullies like any good person would.
Whenever I read something of Mexican history, I'm always amazed at the variety of first names that apparently have no English equivalent. I'm only 40 pages into a book about Pancho Villa, and already I've seen such beauties as Indalecio, Fidencio, Maclovio, Nemesio, and Belisario. I've tried Google. —Flummoxed in Flagstaff
Dear Gabacho: Try Google again. All the names you mentioned are the Hispanicized nombres of Catholic saints (respectively, Indalecio, Fidelis, Maclou, and Nemesius) with the exception of Belisario, which refers to the great Roman general Belisarius. Mexicans traditionally pulled their names from the Bible and the Papist calendar. This resulted in two separate celebrations for someone's birth—the cumpleaños (the actual birthday) and the día de santo.

THIS STUDY1 investigated the effect of a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum on self-directed learning behaviors among a group of pediatric residents. Following an initial period of daily lectures (lecture-based learning [LBL]), 80 residents were then divided into 2 groups: 1 group of residents (n = 39) underwent a period of twice-weekly PBL sessions, while the other group (n = 41) continued receiving LBL. After this intervention, all residents once again received a period of LBL. Throughout each 3-month period (termed the pre-exposure, exposure, and follow-up periods, respectively), residents were given self-administered questionnaires to evaluate self-directed learning behaviors, including the amount of time they spent on independent study, medical discussions, and computer literature searches. The investigators found that while the PBL group reported significantly more time spent in these self-directed endeavors during the exposure period, both groups reported equal baseline levels durign the follow-up period. The investigators concluded that residents exposed to PBL engaged in significantly higher levels of self-directed learning than their counterparts.
We evaluated this study with respect to design, results, and analysis according to the Journal of the American Medical Association users' guide format for a therapeutic trial.2,3 This evaluation was done to assess the quality of the evidence, the strength of the subsequent conclusions, the generalizability of the outcomes, and the consideration of benefits vs risk and cost.
This was a quasi-experimental design using residents' rotations to determine group assignment. The PBL group consisted of residents on inpatient rotations at the central residency site, while the LBL group consisted of residents on other rotations. This raises questions regarding potential confounding factors that were not accounted for in the analysis. For example, we do not know any characteristics of the subjects in each group (ie, postgraduate training level, differences in call schedules, other obligations or time commitments associated with each rotation). It is generally acknowledged that interns have less time for independent learning than do upper-level residents, and residents with more frequent call schedules will have potentially less time than others. The investigators did not control for or address any of these issues in their article. In their defense, they did find that both groups reported similar self-directed learning behaviors in the pre-exposure period, despite being on inpatient vs outpatient rotations. However, simply because both groups used similar durations for independent learning does not automatically reflect whether one group may have had more opportunity or interest in pursuing independent learning than the other.
We asked the following questions: (1) Were all subjects who entered the trial properly accounted for and attributed at its conclusion? (2) Was follow-up complete? and (3) Were subjects analyzed in the groups to which they were randomized? All subjects were accounted for and attributed at the conclusion of the study as indicated by the statement that "complete data were available on all 80 subjects." We are not told explicitly that subjects were analyzed in the groups to which they were assigned initially, although we assume this to be the case. Unfortunately, we were not able to deduce this with certainty because results are reported only in the form of percentages, without including the actual number of subjects for the intervention and control groups.
The article states that the subjects were blinded to the hypothesis of the study. It obviously would not be possible to blind them to the intervention itself. Yet it is unclear whether the faculty members leading the sessions were aware of the hypothesis, and whether those analyzing the data (subject questionnaires) were blinded as well. The specific format of the questionnaire used to evaluate self-directed learning behaviors was not included in this article. Nevertheless, it is possible that residents receiving questions about learning habits in the setting of a "new" format of lectures would be more conscientious of and potentially biased in their responses. One possible solution would have been to add sham questions to the questionnaire in an attempt to avert any transparency bias.
In addition, if the lecturers in the 2 groups were aware of the goals of the study, it may have influenced their effort and performance in the teaching sessions, via the Hawthorne effect. Lecturers may have been motivated to increase self-directed learning in the intervention group, and to de-emphasize it in the control group.
Finally, it is important that the evaluators of the questionnaires be blinded to the group assignment. The more objective the outcome data, the less critical this issue becomes. As stated earlier, the specific questions in the questionnaire were not included in the article; thus, it is impossible to assess how the evaluators interpreted the data. For example, if residents were told to write in the number of hours they spent on independent study, any ambiguity in the penmanship could potentially lead to bias in interpretation. However, if the questionnaires included numbers that subjects circled, there would be a lower potential for bias of interpretation.
There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups at the start of the trial with respect to the outcomes of interest. However, the groups are not compared with respect to stage of training or mean hours of work per week. As we mentioned before, these could be potential confounders or effect modifiers.
There was no additional intervention offered to either group, although, because this was not a randomized controlled trial, there were likely to be significant differences in other variables, such as patient contact hours, sleep deprivation, and the complexity of patients encountered. Some of these potential confounders might serve to bias toward the null hypothesis (eg, working longer hours, as might be expected on the inpatient wards, might decrease the incentive to conduct literature searches). However, other factors, such as the added complexity of inpatients, might serve to increase the incentive to do so.
The study found a statistically significant increase in several measures of self-directed learning among the PBL group vs the LBL group during the intervention period. These included more residents reporting 5 or more hours of study, 5 or more hours of medical discussions, and 2 or more computer literature searches, with P<.01. The number needed to treat (NNT) for 5 or more hours of study is approximately 5, indicating that 5 residents would need to undergo PBL for each additional resident to demonstrate this behavior. The NNT for 5 or more hours of medical discussion and 2 or more computer literature searches are 4 and 5, respectively.
It is unclear whether the increased amount of self-directed learning was part of the work assigned in the PBL sessions or in addition to these assignments. As described in the "Materials and Methods" section, residents in the PBL group attended weekly meetings to work through various medical cases. The first meeting of each case introduced the clinical scenario, ending in "self-assignment of the learning issues" to investigate further information necessary to develop an appropriate differential diagnosis and plan of care, which was discussed at the next meeting. If the results indicating increased self-directed learning among these residents with respect to reading, research, and discussion were because of these assignments, then it is no surprise that this behavior disappeared after the intervention was completed. That is to say, once the assignments were discontinued, the impetus for pursuing more self-directed study returned to baseline.
The precision of the treatment effect is determined by the confidence interval (CI) reported in the analysis. While CIs were not provided in this study, P values were included, and results were judged to be statistically significant with P<.01. This implies a 99% confidence that the results were not due to chance alone.
It seems that these results can be generalized to other residency programs, although the overall benefit would be somewhat questionable in some very small residency programs given the calculated NNT (roughly 5).
This study did not demonstrate any long-term benefit to PBL, as evidenced by the return to baseline of self-directed learning in the follow-up period. Results from the study showed that self-directed learning behaviors in the follow-up period were comparable to both the pre-exposure period and between the PBL and LBL groups. This indicates that while exposure to ongoing PBL demonstrated increased independent learning, once this format was discontinued (as would be the case when a resident completes the residency program) the subjects did not maintain this increased level of independent learning. The authors acknowledged the apparent short-lived gains in self-directed learning behavior, as well as the question as to whether residents would benefit from more prolonged or ongoing exposure to PBL to sustain these improved behaviors.
The likely benefits of PBL seem to be worth any potential harms or costs. One would definitely need to take into account the cost of training instructors in PBL, and the potential changes in resident occupational and recreational schedules (and quality of life). In addition, further study into maintaining long-term increases in self-directed learning (implicit in a change in attitude toward independent learning that would continue throughout one's career) would need to be carried out to fully assess the benefit of this intervention vs the associated risk or cost.
Despite various limitations in the design of the investigation, the results of this study have several important implications for the future training of physicians nationwide. Despite the questionable benefit of PBL in terms of persistent change in residents' self-directed learning behaviors, the potential benefits of PBL in any residency program would seem to outweigh the minimal risks and costs. Further investigation is warranted to study the long-term effects of PBL— in particular, focusing on whether additional or more intensive exposure could sustain the increase in self-directed learning beyond the intervention period alone.

Behavioral issues? Need advice!
Just to play devil's advocate, I am a school psychologist and am confronted with this often. While I definitely wouldn't rush to the doctor, I wouldn't dismiss what his teacher is saying either. While yes, it is normal for 3 year old boys to be rambunctious, there are some that really do have attentional and focusing problems. She obviously had other boys in her class to compare him to and thought it was significant enough to say something twice.Teachers do go through rigorous child development courses throughout her schooling. I would recommend keeping an eye on him and watching his behavior at home.

My son is the same way when it comes to writing and coloring, he just isn't interested, he would much rather play or run around. He's 3.5. Like seriously, I don't expect him to be interested in any of that stuff until almost five. Preschool workbooks arent even for kids under 4, I got one for DS for Christmas because it starts with simple pictures for colors and counting, then moves onto writing letters and numbers in the end of the book, implying that writing letters and numbers should happen towards the end of preschool, towards age 5 before kindergarten. And most preschool teachers that I know of (actual preschools, not in-home ones) don't have kids so they wouldn't know the difference of natural development anyways!
My son doesn't have the patience to write. He writes "O" and "X" really well lol. He can count to five (while my niece 2 months older can count to 10), and we're working on his grammar. I have to keep in mind boys are slower than girls. But at least he's potty trained while my niece is not.
But really, he's super interested in arts and crafts (like making christmas decorations, cutting construction paper, scribbling, painting, and covering the house in glitter) Around Halloween he was doing really great at drawing pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns lol. He likes to help doing the dishes and cooking, making cookies (eating cookie dough lol).
I think traditional school "professionals" are part of the reason I want to unschool/homeschool my DS. There are so many people out there with and without a degree that think they know everything about every kid.

I would say to keep this in your mind as he gets older. Our babes are only 3.5 and they shouldn't be expected to sit still for longer than a few minutes at a time. I wouldn't worry about it. Some kids are just more curious and have more energy than others. Some are able to hold their focus better. My DS is in preschool a couple of days a week too. If the teachers told me that he wasn't about to focus I would just talk to him about it and leave it at that. Their attention span is probably only like 5 minutes anyways at this point. I am/was an elementary school special education teacher so ADD/ADHD is something I'm very familiar with. Obviously inappropriate behavior is not ok but simply not being able to sit and write his name shouldn't be too concerning yet. :-)

Kids Spring Fashion Must Haves Under $20Ruby Wright
Moving to the East Coast has made me experience seasons. One of my favorites is Spring. I love having to spring clean the kids closets and going through their clothes. It's not only a must but a great reminder of how much they have grown. I also love shopping for new things for them.
This year my daughter is still wearing sizes with a T for toddler. There are always racks upon racks of the cutest girls clothing. but I was very excited to shop for my song this spring. My son has moved into big boy sizes and is now at a 6/7. It's all so bittersweet.
It's fun to shop for both of them but it can get pricey. My new strategy to shop this year is to buy things that are versatile and inexpensive. I don't purchase clothing over $20. Most stores now create mix match sales which are even better on my pockets. Sometimes we score 2 tees and 2 shorts for less than $20
Here are a few of our Spring must haves:
raphic Short sleeve tee 1 of 13I love Graphic Tees I can't get enough. Girls obviously have the cutest ones with trendy sayings or prints. This one in particular caught my eye for it's spanish saying of "I love my mom" The price is also great!
Available for $5 buy here
Graphic Tee 2 of 13You can never have enough graphic tees. We use them for layering even in the winter. We get great use out of these. My son prefers to wear them under his buttoned up shirts. He says he's a super hero under with his graphic tee.
Available for $12.94 buy here
Shorts with a Pop of Color 3 of 13I am loving these bright colored shorts! The trend is having them in bright pastels. I love that these can be paired with multi-color bright shirts too! They are not too short perfect with a little cuff.
Available for $11 buy here
Shorts with a Pop of Color 4 of 13I love colorful shorts on my son! I think they are very in this spring. They can be dressed up and down. I let my son choose the color of shorts so he can explore his style.
Available for $12 buy it here
Colorful cardigan 5 of 13Cardigan are perfect for little girls. These are a must. We love to pair them up with graphic tees and dresses. They can but dressed up and down as well. My daughter loves the cardigans with accents this flower adds the perfect touch! Floral is in this season.
Available for $15 buy here
Zip Up Hoodie 6 of 13Spring can still be a little chilly. Rather than having my son carry a bulk sweater I like hoodies. I prefer zip ups rather than pull overs because taking off the pull over is more likely. He is prone to losing something he takes off completely. I also love getting a couple in different colors.
Available for $19 buy here
Patterned shorts 7 of 13Again much like the pop of color, patterns are very in this season. This floral print has the right combination of pastels. I have purchased various tees, tanks and cardigans that can be paired with these shorts.
Available for $12 buy here
Classic Denim Short 8 of 13These shorts never go out of style. My son still has a few from last year that he wears. I buy a size bigger with the adjustable waistbands.
Available for $12 buy here
Skinny pants with a Pop of Color 9 of 13Skinny pants are in yet again this season! I love the colors I've been seeing; mint, lilac, and pink. Much like the shorts these are perfect for all occasions. Pairing them up with cute sandals and tees make this my go to outfit for my little girl!
Available for $15 buy here
Denim Pants 10 of 13The same reason for the hoodie, Spring still has a variety of weather. I like my son to have Denim Pants because these go with everything! Can never have too many Denim Pants.
Available for $19 buy here
Floral Dress 11 of 13My daughter enjoys wearing "pretty dresses" She picked 2 different floral printed dresses. The styles are endless but I do prefer those that are knee length. We also pair with a cute cardigan.
Available for $15
Short Sleeve Plaid 12 of 13My son looks amazing in button ups. Rather than stocking up on polos this year we went with plaid. These are great for outings where kids needs too look decent but still have the wiggle for play.
Available for $10 buy here
Jersey Romper 13 of 13I remember wearing these as a kid. I love that they are back this season! The styles are endless. I prefer a strapy romper because this can easily be used in the summer. In the spring I will be styling this with a cardigan.
Available for $14 buy here

Honestly, I've taken my eye off most things Arsenal in the last week and a half with the London 2012 Olympic Games meaning I've been trying to understand the rules of judo and have been getting massively over-excited about track cycling and handball. I've watched some of the Olympic football tournament, but have been so engrossed in the other sport that the men's football has generally felt like a needless sideshow. The women's football tournament however was a superb advert for fans to follow the female game more, with Team GB beating Brazil.
I've partly not been bothering myself with Arsenal news because the Olympic Games don't come to a nearby city very often. The wave of Olympic excitement in and around London has been brilliant, with sport bringing people together and making people proud to be British. Also, there has been a severe lack of media coverage of football ahead of the new season, which is probably a good thing as it's stopped me fretting and starting to worry about Arsenal too far in advance of the season. We go through enough emotions during the season so avoiding some of them in pre-season should be welcomed.
The major Arsenal interest was in the women's football tournament. The Team GB 18 player squad featured six Arsenal players, all of whom featured in their impressive 1-0 victory over favourites Brazil in front of a record UK crowd for a women's match in this country at Wembley. Arsenal have been flag bearers on the pitch for women's football for many years, however despite the success of the team, the women's game has struggled for coverage and popularity.
A new season, a new kit, a different pre-season venue to play in, but the seemingly the same old problems for Arsenal. In the second match of the pre-season Asia Tour, we played well against Manchester City, however couldn't convert chances and were punished for some slack defending on the break. It's important to remember that it was only a friendly; however it's never good to lose to a rival like Manchester City, especially when the loss came in a similar fashion to many of the ones we've suffered in recent seasons.
The squad for the Asia Tour is still missing a large number of first team players because of injury and fitness after Euro 2012, however we still fielded quite a strong team against Manchester City. Being honest, I didn't rate our chances of winning the game as very high. We didn't start with a regular striker, and had the inexperienced Kyle Bartley at centre back. Seeing a City team sheet including Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure was a concern, and their clinical counter attacking proved to be the difference.
The 2-0 score-line didn't do the match justice, but rarely does a result reflect the overall flow of a football match. Hopefully we can get these matches out of our system before the season starts; where we dominate, but don't turn that pressure into goals.
Let's be honest, deep down we all feared that Robin van Persie wouldn't sign a new contract. As Arsenal fans, we've seen these situations all too many times in the last few seasons. If Robin had decided to go quietly, we'd have accepted it and understood his desire to leave. He'd have gone with the respect of the fans for giving everything for Arsenal, and would have been remembered as a great player for the club. Yes, it would have been massively disappointing for fans, but we'd have lived with it.
Then there was this. Robin van Persie's statement on his official website was damning of the club, and horribly misjudged. I'll be surprised if van Persie wrote it himself, because I'm struggling to believe that he would be so blunt about the club when financially we don't have to sell him, when he's still club captain and when the statement wasn't expected by the club.
Most Arsenal fans have been through the mire enough times in the last few summers to not take van Persie's side of the story and not have sympathy for him. I can understand some fans siding with him about the different directions of the club, but ultimately Arsene Wenger is never going to spend the same amount of money as clubs like Manchester City. He never has done, never will do, and wouldn't want to compromise Arsenal's financial position. Wenger's stand point on this shouldn't have been news to Robin van Persie. He's been at the club eight years, and were it not for Wenger's policy, Robin wouldn't have been given the chances he had as a youngster, wouldn't have been backed despite his injury problems, and wouldn't have become the striker he is today.
Finishing the series of blog posts looking at the Arsenal squad, I'm going to rate, and in some cases slate, the Arsenal players for their performances over the last ten months. To say it's been an eventful season for Arsenal would be a massive understatement, so I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement with my ratings, so feel free to comment at the end of the blog. In my first blog post of the day following yesterday's events surrounding our captain, it's time to rate the strikers.
9. Ju-Young Park
One on those rushed through the checkout during Arsene Wenger's trolley dash at the end of the summer transfer window, Ju-Young Park hasn't really made his mark on Arsenal Football Club. The Korean captain was cheap, and did score an excellent goal against Bolton in the Carling Cup, but he just wasn't given the chance to prove himself for the first team. That was partly down to the form and fitness of Robin van Persie, but also because I don't think Wenger trusted him to lead the line. Undoubtedly a strange signing.
Continuing the series of blog posts looking at the Arsenal squad, I'm going to rate, and in some cases slate, the Arsenal players for their performances over the last ten months. To say it's been an eventful season for Arsenal would be a massive understatement, so I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement with my ratings, so feel free to comment at the end of the blog. Moving up the pitch, it's time to look at the midfielders.
2. Abou Diaby
The international man of mystery was only seen in fleeting glances during last season. His campaign was summed up by his cameo against Liverpool at Anfield. He came on in the second half, looked rusty in some of his runs forward but still showed he has some real talent on the ball, but then he tweaked a muscle and went off again. I can understand the argument for cutting our losses on Diaby and getting him off the wage bill because of his injury record, but we've seen with van Persie and Rosicky, that patience can eventually lead to a player flourishing at Arsenal. I think Diaby can still become an important part of our midfield, we just need him to stay fit for a prolonged period of time.

To say it's been an eventful season for Arsenal would be a massive understatement, so I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement with my ratings, so feel free to comment at the end of the blog. Having analysed the goalkeepers, it's time to look at defenders.
3. Bacary Sagna
The French full back had a season that was affected by two leg breaks, but when he was available, we were reminded how important he is to the team. Sagna doesn't do the spectacular things, he does the important solid work. He loses marks in his end of season rating for missing a large slice of the season through injury, and for his crossing still being indifferent, however looking around the league, I can't think of another right back I'd like in the squad.
Now that I've completed my own exams this summer, it's time for me to rate, and in some cases slate, the Arsenal players for their performances over the last ten months. To say it's been an eventful season for Arsenal would be a massive understatement, so I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement with my ratings, so feel free to comment at the end of the blog. I'll go through the squad over the next couple of weeks, and will start at the last line of defence; the goalkeepers.
1. Manuel Almunia
There really isn't much to say about the Spaniard given he didn't play a single minute for the Arsenal first team in 2011/12. He's now been released and is without a club. It's felt like he hasn't been an Arsenal player this season, and he did spend a short loan spell at West Ham but returned quickly after they decided that Robert Green was better. The way Almunia was side-lined could seem a little harsh as he's always come across as one of the nice guys in football, however ultimately he was too error prone. The two matches against West Brom in 2010/11 effectively ended his Arsenal career, but because of a lack of suitors, and injuries to Fabianski and Mannone, he hung around at the club last season and was on the bench a few times, however never made it onto the pitch. I hope his career doesn't meander into nothingness; however I fear it might, which would be a shame.
Season Rating: 0/10
Arsenal added the motto 'Forward' to the bottom of the club's crest for the 125th anniversary season, and for a large slice of the season, that was looking like an embarrassing move. It seemed like we were a club in decline, and one that was definitely moving backwards. No-one could have envisaged that we'd end the season with a higher points total than the previous campaign, and finish a place higher.
It might only be a small step, but we have gone forward as a team and as a club this season. Whilst we should be rightly pleased at how we recovered from the dreadful start, this achievement shouldn't be looked at as the be all and end all for this group of players. It needs to be the start of something.
We've stumbled over the line, but finishing third not only puts us back in the Champions League group stage, it gives us more clout when negotiating new contracts for certain members of the current squad, and helps us in the transfer market to attract players. One of the reasons for the ill-advised trolley dash at the end of last summer was that we weren't able to guarantee potential signings that they'd be playing in Europe's top competition because of the Champions League qualifier with Udinese. We won't have that problem this summer.
At 2.45pm on Saturday, it looked like we were going to be in desperate need of Tottenham suffering another lasagne induced bout of food poisoning, as in 2006. However at 4pm on Sunday, things weren't looking quite as desperate. However given Arsenal's remarkable ability to throw away our good work this season, we should probably start planning in the kitchen just to make sure we secure third place.
If Arsenal fail to finish in the top three, it will be our own fault. We've had the chances to secure that position, but have so far contrived to blow every one of them. To have one final chance is unexpected, but it must be utilised. On the basis of the season we do deserve to be where we are, you're not third by accident after 37 games, because whilst we've had our failings, so have our closest challengers. The team should learn from the numerous mistakes we made against Norwich and give everything to take advantage of our final chance, as failure to do so could still result in Europa League football.
Our recent run is concerning ahead of the final game because we haven't won for four matches now. After our win against Wolves, we've lost to Wigan, and drawn with Chelsea, Stoke and Norwich. A win in any of those games, and we'd virtually be safe in third place. It's amazing that our fate is still in our hands, but the form ahead of a must-win match doesn't fill me with confidence. At least in the draws with Chelsea and Stoke, we generally defended well. That wasn't the case against Norwich.
After the great comeback this season, Arsenal are stumbling towards the finish line as the need to secure third place in the league has become greater. Chelsea's unexpected success in Barcelona means we have to take the possibility of them winning the Champions League seriously. The thought of Chelsea being the first London team to win the Champions League isn't a good one, but to have them also put us in the Europa League by taking the fourth spot in next year's tournament, would be close to unbearable.
There's two ways to look at the Stoke match. It's easy to say that we dropped two points against a team that haven't had a brilliant season. However, on the positive side, it was a point gained at a stadium where we've had little success in recent seasons. With Newcastle's defeat, it's a shame we couldn't extend our points lead in third, but we still have third place in our hands. Beat Norwich City and West Brom, and we come third. Simple.
However this is Arsenal, it's unlikely to be simple. We can still optimistic about the two games though, as there were plenty of positives to take from the Stoke draw. We've been quick to go into our shell at the Britannia before, but we saw an Arsenal team on Saturday that were willing to face up to the more direct Stoke tactics, and then play our own attacking game.

Hysterics. Seriously.
Saint NicholasSat, December 10, 2005 - 11:28 AM
His parents died when he was a young man, leaving him well off and he determined to devote his inheritance to works of charity. An opportunity soon arose. A citizen of Patara had lost all his money, and had moreover to support three daughters who could not find husbands because of their poverty; so the wretched man was going to give them over to prostitution. This came to the ears of Nicholas, who thereupon took a bag of gold and, under cover of darkness threw it in at the open window of the man's house. Here was a dowry for the eldest girl and she was soon duly married. At intervals Nicholas did the same for the second and third; at the last time the father was on the watch, recognized his benefactor and overwhelmed him with his gratitude.
He was the guardian of his people as well in temporal affairs. The governor Eustathius had taken a bribe to condemn to death three innocent men. At the time fixed for their execution Nicholas came to the place, stayed the hands of the executioner, and released the prisoners. Then he turned to Eustathiujs and did not cease to reproach him until he admitted his crime and expressed his penitence. There were present on this ocfcasion three imperial officers who were on their way to duty in Phrygia. Later, when they were back again in Constantinople, the jealousy of the prefect Ablavius caused them to be imprisoned on false charges and an order for their death was procured from the Emperor Constantine. When the officers heard this they remembered the example they had witnessed of the powerful love of justice of the Bishop of Myra and they prayed to God that through his merits and by his instrumentality then might yet be saved. That night St. Nicholas appeared in a dream to Constatine, and told him with threats to release the three innocent men, and Ablavius experienced the same thing. In the morning the Emporor and the prefect compared notes, and the condemned men were sent for and questioned. When he heard that they had called on the name of the Nicholas of Myra who had appeared to him, Constatine set them free and sent them to the bishop with a letter asking him not to threaten him any more but to pray for the peace of the world. For long this was the most famous miracle of St. Nicholas, and at the time of St. Methodius was the only thing generally known about him.
The legend of the "three children" gave rise to his patronage of children and various observances, ecclesiastical and secular, connected there with; such were the boy bishop and especially in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, the giving of presents in his name at Christmas time. This custom in England is not a survival from Catholic times. It was popularized in America by the Dutch Protestants of New Amsterdam who had converted the popish saint into a Nordic magician (Santa Claus = Sint Klaes = Saint Nicholas) and was apparently introduced into this country by Bret Harte. It is not the only "good old English custom" which, however good, is not "old English", at any rate in its present form. The deliverance of the three imperial officers naturally caused St. Nicholas to be invoked by and on behalf of prisoners and captives, and many miracles of his intervention are recorded in the middle ages.
One way to help spread the kindness of Saint Nicholas is to be involved in caring for children and prisoners...especialy death row inmates. Work with your families and friends to write a letter against the death penalty. Write letters to prisoners...send dictionaries and books. Suuport programs like ANGELTREE
Because as it turns out, even Santa Claus hates Christmas...

COLLEGE STATION - A towering, 40-foot pyramid of logs erected for Texas A&M's traditional football bonfire trembled and then came roaring down early Thursday, crushing 11 students to death and injuring 28 others.
Two people were seen trapped in the rubble Thursday afternoon, but officials said late Thursday that both were confirmed dead.
Workers hoped to get to the bodies of those two students, one male and one female, by dawn today, said Kem Bennett, an engineer with Texas Task Force One.
Rescuers used sensitive sound-detection equipment to listen for moaning or tapping from the enormous pile of collapsed logs and heard scratching noises that led them to believe there were victims trapped.
But several hours later, officials said the noises no longer were being heard.
Fire department spokesman Bart Humphreys said he feared the death toll would escalate. At least four of the injured were in critical condition.
A wave of grief settled over the campus of 43,000, about 90 miles northwest of Houston.
Thousands turned out for a memorial service Thursday night, including former President George Bush.
, whose presidential library is at Texas A&M.
"For the Texas Aggie family and the world, this has been a day of unspeakable grief and sorrow," A&M president Ray Bowen said. "We're all trying to cope with this tremendous loss of life and the pain and suffering."
Top levels of the structure, which is tiered like a wedding cake, fell off to one side. Workers removing the base level Thursday afternoon were certain there were no bodies in that section, Humphreys said.
Later, school officials said they accounted for everyone involved in building the bonfire structure.
But the painstaking work was expected to continue into the night as rescuers tried to reach the two people seen in the debris.
"We take it one log at a time," said Kem Bennett, director of a state rescue unit. "They're wired three together in stacks, so we have to cut the wire and move them one at a time. So it's a lengthy process."
Shocked students gathered at the scene, holding hands and praying while the rescue went on. Workers tapped on logs and ordered spectators to be still so they could hear if anyone was still alive.
Texas A&M sophomore Diana Estrada said she was about 200 yards away from the stack when it fell.
"It just toppled over, and the wires snapped and the lights started sparking and going on and off," Estrada said. "We ran over there as fast as we could, and we could see legs sticking out and hear people screaming."
Officials had no explanation for the collapse and said engineers would examine the site.
Sixty to 70 students were on top of the logs trying to build the stack when it suddenly gave way, university officials said.
"I was dazed. I was kind of thrown against the wall," sophomore Caleb Hill said. "For a while, I could see a few people trying to jump off the stack, get out from on top of it, out from underneath it."
Sophomore Michael Guerra, who was helping build the bonfire, left for a few minutes and returned moments after the collapse.
"People were running around calling people's names and crying," Guerra said. "Other people were just like zombies. They couldn't believe what had happened."
Faculty adviser Rusty Thompson said students told him there was no hint of a problem until there was "noise and chaos."
"There was just a sudden movement," he said. "Five to seven seconds and it was on the ground."
"I've never seen anything like this," said student Patrick Freshwater, who was helping clear away the logs. "It's something you don't ever want to feel. I went to my class and there was nobody there. The teacher wasn't even there, because no one can go to class when this is going on."
The bonfire, meant to get students fired up for the football game against archrival Texas, is a beloved tradition at Texas A&M and attracts tens of thousands of spectators.
Since the tradition began in 1909, when the school was still an all-male military academy, the bonfire has been canceled only one other time: in 1963, after President Kennedy's assassination.
This year's bonfire was to have been lit on Thanksgiving, the night before the big game.
Bowen, the university president, said this year's bonfire would be canceled and he was not sure whether the bonfire would be permanently abolished.
"It's a very important tradition to us," Bowen said, "but those decisions must be made at a calmer time."
Although the project is run by students, engineers and non-student adults are always at the site, said Thompson, the faculty adviser. The students cut the logs to lengths of about 10 feet and build the pile themselves over several weeks. Cranes and tractors lift the logs, which are then tied together with baling wire.
The structure, which this year would have included about 7,000 logs and reached 55 feet, is designed to twist inward and collapse on itself as it burns.
The stack also collapsed in 1994, but no one was injured. A second was built and ignited that year.
Both students and alumni have strong opinions about the bonfire.
A group calling itself Aggies Against Bonfire has called in the past for the abolition of the annual event, saying it wastes resources, pollutes the air and contributes to dozens of injuries and alcohol-related arrests each year.
Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Joe Avezzano, who was an assistant coach at A&M during the 1980s, said the ritual should go on. "It is part of the tradition and history," he said. "Thousands and thousands of people have been involved over the years, and that may be underestimating it."
Senior Kay Barrington suggested that this year's bonfire, at least, go on.
"My feeling is they won't get any closure if they just take it down. We could get it built again in five days, because you know, they died to build it," she said. "They wouldn't want to just put it away. They'd want to burn it."
Thursday's accident was the third disaster related to Texas A&M this fall.
On Sept. 18, five people were killed in the crash of a plane used by an A&M-connected skydiving club.
On Oct. 10, six students walking to a fraternity party not far from campus were killed by a pickup truck whose driver had fallen asleep, police said. One of the victims was from Texas A&M.

First, the hair: lots of it, lush and red and crazy with curls. Next, the height: she's 5'10" minus the hair. Then, the husband: Tom Cruise, Hollywood's cockiest grin, a perfect match for Kidman's stoic luster. Cosmopolitan called the Australian, 24, "a sexy, high-spirited beauty," but she grew up feeling like "the ugliest person alive." Kidman funneled that insecurity into acting and as a teen won two AFIs (Australia's Oscar). In 1989, Dead Calm, her high-seas movie scorcher, lit Cruise's fire when he screened it; he quickly cast her as his Days of Thunder love interest. Five years Kidman's senior (and officially 1" shorter), he fell hard during the filming and married her on Christmas Eve, 1990. The couple costar again in this month's period Irish romance, Far and Away. "She's absolutely, stunningly beautiful in it," says its director, Ron Howard. "As good as our cinematographer was, he didn't have to work too hard to make her look great." He just turned the camera on and got out of the way.

The Chrysler New Yorker was first debuted for model-year 1939; Chrysler's leader, K. T. Keller, saw it as a way to move past the AirFlow debacle.
After the war, the Chrysler New Yorker was one of four Chrysler models, riding on similar bodies with different trim. Sitting on the longest-wheelbase (127", or 3238 mm) body, it took the Saratoga and added features such as two-tone wool broadcoth upholstery, a carpeted front compartment, and, on convertibles, a "goose neck" style mirror. The New Yorker was powered by a 323½ cid (5.3 liter) valve-in-head straight-8 cylinder engine pushing out 135 hp — 40% more power than the Plymouth, countered by a 25% weight gain, giving the Chrysler a comfortable edge. That engine had been around since the 1931 Series CD-8.
The 1947 and 1948 models were similar; in 1948, the New Yorker moved to larger, lower-pressure tires and a new rear fender.
For 1949-1950, the New Yorker kept the old Chrysler inline eight and all-wool carpeting; and gained Chrysler's pioneering leather-covered sponge rubber safety pad over the instrument panel, to reduce injuries in accidents. The hardtop body style was brought back, this time with great success. Optional electric window lifts, a Chrysler "first," were introduced.
For 1951-52, the New Yorker gained full-time power steering (a Chrysler first) and a hefty power boost via the new 331 cid (5.4 liter) Hemi V8. In these years, only the New Yorker and Imperial used the 3340 mm (131 inch) wheelbase. The New Yorker used Saratoga's mechanical features, with better interior appointments, and Windsor trim for club coupe, sedan and convertible body styles. The two years had different tail-lights but were otherwise similar.
The New Yorker and New Yorker Deluxe models, along with the Chrysler Windsor and Windsor Deluxe, were carried over into 1953 but updated with a 3188 mm (125 inch) wheelbase. The New Yorker had trim similar to the Windsor Deluxe, but came with the V8; the New Yorker Deluxe was a step above in trim. For 1953, Chrysler gained the PowerFlite two-speed fully automatic transmission (coming in late, in June 1953); a one-piece curved glass windshield was now used for a more modern look.
For 1954 the New Yorker Deluxe's engine was equipped with a 4 barrel carburetor, boosting power to 235 hp. The engine was prominently advertised, and added to the company's luxury-and-performance image. Brewster Shaw, owner of San Juan Motors, a local Chrysler-Plymouth dealer, set the Daytona Two-Way Flying Mile record of 117.1 mph in a Chrysler New Yorker.
A 1954 Chrysler New Yorker, driven by Tony Bettenhausen alternating with four Chrysler test drivers, completed a record 24-hour endurance run with an average speed of 118.18 mph for 2836.42 miles as certified by the AAA (a feature in the dedication of Chrysler Corporation's Proving Grounds at
Buyers of this class of car presumably did not buy Chryslers to race Cadillacs and Buicks in the streets, but the reserve of power, though it might never be called upon, was reassuring. The two-speed Powerflite automatic which first became available at the end of the 1953 model year would have restrained enthusiastic driving, as would the drum brakes.
For 1954, the New Yorker used more trim than the other series. The gri;le center bar was bow shaped and dipped at both ends to parallel the upper grille design. The front fender stone shield was unique to the New Yorker Deluxe. The rear fender stone shield had a horizontal trim piece in the midle, matching the trim on the front fender shield. Hubcap design was unique to the New Yorker Deluxe and consisted of a flat spinner-like design in gold color that matched the exterior insignia. The New Yorker Deluxe outsold its 1953 counterpart by nearly 25%.
The big news for 1955 was the first 300 "letter car," the C-300, named after its unique 300 horsepower (the only stock car of its time with that level of power). It was adorned with an Imperial grille and wire wheels, and one C-300 won NASCAR's 1955 Grand National race at an average speed of 92 miles per hour — over 160 miles. The C-300 was based on the New Yorker, with additional luxury and performance features, and later Chrysler 300 models would likewise have their roots in the New Yorker.
The New Yorker was restyled in 1956 to have a finer detailed grille and different bumpers to set it apart from the Windsor. The Hemi engine size was increased to 354 cid, raising power by over 10%. The eight chromed teeth on the rear fender, which would become a New York hallmark, were added in 1956.
The Hemi engine's bore and stroke were increased in 1957, and the famed TorqueFlite three-speed automatic was added; the car featured a torsion-bar front suspension (Torsion-Aire), and compound curved windshields. A new air conditioner had the "reheat principle." Chrysler models were now Windsor, Saratoga, New Yorker, and 300C, in that order. The front torsion bar suspension had comfort similar to competitors, with substantially better handling. The rear suspension, like most competitors, used leaf springs.
For 1958, dual head lamps became standard equipment on all Chrysler cars, and the Sure-Grip limited slip differential could be purchased.
In 1959, the B-series engine was used for the first time in a New Yorker, and the Hemi engine was no longer available; the size, weight, and cost of the early Hemis could no longer be justified, despite their efficiency. Horsepower went up slightly, along with displacement. The instrument panel and dashboard were relatively unchanged from the two previous years. Back-up lights were made standard equipment. A new optional first was an electronically controlled rearview mirror which automatically adjusted to a dim or nonglaring attitude when a head lamp beam crossed its surface.
For 1960, the New Yorker body was completely re-engineered, moving like most Chrysler vehicles to unit-body construction. Swivel seats front seats that swung outward when the front doors were opened became a popular option along with vacuum door locks. Hardtop station wagons were a new body style. The masculine 300-type grille was "trenched." A fine horizontal bar motif inset appeared within the grille outline. New Yorkers continued to use rear fender trim bars for the fifth consecutive year. The number of bars was increased to nine. Exterior brightwork was kept to a minimum with stone shields and sill moldings standard. The front bumper dipped in the center to match the lower contour of the grille opening.
In 1961, the New Yorker had more body styles, none reaching 10,000 sales, and three falling well under a thousand. These were the four door sedan and hardtop sedan, two door hardtop coupe and convertible, and two station wagons (with two and three rows of seats).
The New Yorker was priced at $4,175 for the coupe, $4,592 for the hardtop convertible, and $4,871 for the nine-passenger wagon.
For 1962, the New Yorker had a 126 inch wheelbase and 219 inch length; all other Chryslers had a 122 inch wheelbase and 215 inch length. Around 19,000 were sold, mostly four door sedans. It was similar to the prior year except for a new, 300-like grille. These long vehicles weighed in at nearly 4,000 pounds, with the wagon topping 4,325 lb; only 728 six-passenger wagons and 793 nine-passenger wagons were sold. A Chrysler New Yorker, averaging 18.11 miles per gallon, took top position in the Luxury Car Class of the 1962 Mobilgas Economy Run.
For 1963, all Chryslers were built on the Windsor's shorter 122-inch wheelbase and painted in a buffable acrylic enamel which permitted a wider range of metallic colors. Positive crankcase ventilation was standard.
February 14, 1963, a new limited production Chrysler, the New Yorker Salon, was announced. It had a vinyl-clad roof, and all major power equipment and accessories were standard.
For 1965, the Chrysler line received all new bodies with a longer wheelbase of 124.0 inches. Galvanized sills and full front wheelhouses gave important corrosion protection, and the luxury ride of the New Yorker was enhanced by a constant-velocity joint added to the drive line.
In 1966, the New Yorker featured a standard 440 engine, power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, and choise of two or four door hardtops or four-door sedan, with the same engines. A new option available only to the Chrysler was the first independent rear heater to combine heating, defrosting, and defogging operations in one unit.
The 1971 Chrysler New Yorker was similar to the Imperial, with fewer features and a shorter wheelbase: gone were the covered headlights, two-spoke horn-on-rim steering wheel, and some of the other frills, but it was still clearly a luxury vehicle, with standard 440 and automatic, and vinyl replacing the leather. The wheelbase was 124 inches rather than 129, the length 225 inches (the overhang was the same), and the width still 79 inches.
At the top of the line in 1974 and 1975 stood the New Yorker Brougham, "a totally new expression of an idea that has never changed ... well-styled cars with engineering differences that set them apart from the crowd." Newly restyled for 1974 (and remaining virtually identical for 1975), the New Yorker Brougham was sold as a two-door or four-door hardtop, and as a four-door sedan.
New for 1974 were additional, strategically placed sound deadeners, foam seals, silencer pads, and vibration absorbers. Also new were 50/50 bench seats (with individual adjustments for driver and passenger) as a standard feature. The standard was cloth and vinyl, with all-vinyl optional. Standard features included power disc brakes, windows, and steering, and a regular-gas-drinking 440 cubic inch V8 engine coupled to a smooth, reliable TorqueFlite automatic. As in the past, a torsion-bar suspension was used to provide remarkably good cornering for a fairly immense vehicle. The base New Yorker also came with a standard 440 V8 and steel-belted radial whitewalls. Options included a power retracting antenna, power sunroof, and vinyl-covered roofs in six colors. The base model was not available as a two-door.
Inside, a new interior included dual armrests (Brougham), passenger-side recliner (four-doors), and rear center armrest; colors were blue, green, black, gold, and parchment. A new modular instrument panel included temperature, alternator, and gas gauges, with a digital clock and optional LED warning lamps for overheating, discharging, and low fuel. A thermostatic temperature control was optional, along with FM stereo and eight-track.
The New Yorker didn't sell especially well, with just over 6,100 base models and about 26,000 Broughams sold in 1975; the most popular was the four-door hardtop. In 1975, the plain New Yorker was dropped, and Brougham sales remained at around 26,000, again mostly four-door hardtops. Generally, it just wasn't a good time for full-sized cars.
The 1975 Chrysler New Yorker was essentially the same car, with a new grille insert, a no-extra-cost 400 V8 option (for gas mileage), and a "St. Regis" option package.
For 1976, the Imperial would depart, and Chrysler New Yorker Brougham would take its place. But that's the story of the 1976-1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham.

The original question dealt with why people like Lyle McDonald, Rudy from Outlaw Way, and many others are NOT on the "wheat is evil" crusade...jakejoh is giving what their reasons are.
First of all, grains are not empty calories. Orange juice is empty calories. Candy bars....an empty calorie means that you can consume it with little to no satiety. Say what you want about eating a sub sandwich, it fills you up.
This is all being totally over-complicated. The reality has nothing to do with studies from 3rd world countries, or studies of much of any kind. Here is all you need to know for their reasons:
1) Avoiding all grains is very difficult. Try going to much any restaurant and avoiding them entirely. It takes a lot of patience and want to. Same goes for social gatherings. It can be done and I've done more than my share of "hold the bread" at a party, but it's not easy.
2) When you are a young male doing competitive Crossfit workouts (Outlaw Way), trying to set PR's using glycogen bumps (Lyle McDonald), or training for an Ironman, you are left with a problem...these require enormous amounts of calories. Sure, you could eat sweet potatoes (and they do), but if you can just as easily get it from a subway sandwich, have it taste better, suffer no ill effects, why wouldn't you?
I don't eat grains very often. Like anything else, they are a tool. They produce huge insulin responses and pack a lot of calories into a small amount, like a lot processed food does....AT TIMES, this is my goal. It's not about "What is the absolute most we can do?"....it's about "What is the minimum effective dose to hit my goals? What is ESSENTIAL to hitting my goals, and what is peripheral?" They are prob a bad idea for a newbie or someone wanting a lot of fat loss that isn't doing long fasts or super intense workouts....but calling them evil FOR EVERYONE is ridiculous.

Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
No, the questions that haven't been addressed are my #1 and #2.
I.E. This weekend was a LONG hike, which I did after fasting for 36 hours. Seeing as my basal rate is about 2900 Kcal, it is fair to say that between my fasting and hiking for 7 hours, I had created a HUGE calorie deficit. It is MY core paleo principle, and I don't care to argue it now. Fasting is human.
So conservatively, the fasting created a deficit of of 4300 kCal just at basal rate.
Then add in the hiking for 7 hours (it was actually longer, but just for the math). Using a basic calorie calculator as a guide, at 185 lbs, walking up hill half of it with 25lb pack on, that burned about 600kCal per hour. That's 4200 kCal of deficit I had created by Saturday night from hiking alone. That is 8500kCal deficit total. I am in huge glycogen deficit. Any carbs I take in are going to go to refilling it. Insulin is my friend at that moment. It is the energy gatekeeper to help me recover.
Now, the question is this, and it is why those people previously mentioned don't 100% outlaw grains....if I can use some grains, along with the turkey legs I made and a lot of veg (I made fajitas), to makeup that calorie deficit....AND I have no ill effects, why would I not do it?
(Saying "eat a sweet potato instead" isn't an answer. You could do that down to "eat skirt steak and green peppers for every meal". Life needs enjoyment. Taste matters.)
"A good teacher knows the rules. A great pupil knows the exceptions."
Assuming you wish to eat grains though WAPF is the resource I would use to produce those with the least likelihood of ill effect. Not to mention we all know that "grains" are on a continuum of rice (fairly inert) - GMO dwarf wheat (this aint food). So if someone is choosing to include nutritionally devoid items simply for caloric load then choose that item and prep method wisely.
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

An accident involving a truck that had shut down the Notre-Dame Street in both directions between Viau and Dickson has been cleared away.
The road is now re-opened.
The truck was carrying a piece of construction equipment.
When it passed underneath a railway overpass, the CAT digger struck the structure and was knocked off the flatbed.
