bald river 4/26 &27
i had been planning a backpacking trip to eagle creek for a few months along with my brother in law, stu and two buddies from the fly shop. we were to leave on friday the 26th and come back on sunday the 28th. unfortunately due to work reasons they had to cancel in the week leading up to the trip, leaving just stu and myself. looking at the high percentage rain forecast we were growing more concerned about having trouble when it came time to leave. on friday morning the noaa forecast called for up to an inch of rain on saturday and sunday. we decided it would not be wise to risk the water coming up with us camped on an island, as well as 7 stream crossings, and a four mile paddle across fontana lake to get home.
i had talked to a guy who i was told was the head guy over the trails in the tellico ranger district a couple weeks ago, and i asked him about the criteria for back country camping in the cherokee national forest. he said there was none, no permits or checking in, just park and go. he also gave me directions to some spots in the bald river gorge wilderness, so we decided to eat the **** smoky mtn backcountry fees and try bald river instead.
and i'm glad we did.
the hike from the trailhead to the first camp we crossed was a short one, maybe a mile, tops. we stuck with it because we did not know how far it was to the next one.
after setting up camp and preparing a dry place to chill during the rain, we hit the trail. there was not as much access to the river as i had hoped. we walked downstream a ways and found a long accessible stretch of water and gave it a try. i used a thunderhead and tried various droppers. i was getting hits on the dry and nothing but trees on the droppers, so after losing several i "dropped" it and just fished the dry. i caught two that afternoon, both on the dry. i was surprised at the quality of trout in this river, both in size and color. stu did a little better than i did, landing three. he got two on a dry fly, and one on a tellico nymph.
i had to do without for a few months, and i keep forgetting i have a camera again. this was the smaller of the two, and the other was just as vivid
a dry tent is a happy tent, so before i went to bed i moved my tent so the front door was also under the tarp. it rained over night, and my new tent with the "ever dry lasting rain protection" wasn't very dry saturday morning. the window seams puddled up and dripped all night. i awoke with the floor puddled up, my pillow, sleeping bag, camp pad and half of my clothes were wet. i wiped the floor with the clothes and hung everything on the hammock hoping i would get lucky. after the tarp under my tent became the tarp over my tent, we hit the trail again and ventured even further..
the trail looked like a wet tunnel
we hiked for about 1 1/2 miles fishing what little water we could get to safely. most of the trail was on the side of the gorge looking down on the river through the trees. it would sprinkle off and on so we didn't want to get too far from camp. on the way back we found an opening in the trees and a clearing that looked like we maybe could access the river. it tuned out to be another campsite that looked like it hadn't been used in a few years. the fire ring was almost covered by leaves. i can understand why nobody uses it, it is hard to spot from the trail. we fished the water around that camp for a bit and neither of us were having any luck, but we did find a snake. i thought it was dead at first as i was too close for it to be comfortable, but it was just cold and lethargic.
i think it was a garter snake
we got back to camp a little before noon and none of my bedding was drying out. the rain was getting heavier and steadier, standing under the tarp i was considering my options. i did not want to spend the night wet and freezing, and i had no desire to share a sleeping bag with my brother in law that night (i'm sure it was mutual) so we packed it up and headed home.
i had a great time up there and am sorry it was cut short. i will be back though

Nice Trip report
I think you made a smart call on Eagle, those crossing are notorious
Beautiful watershed
Did you go in from the falls? Many years ago some friends and I went in from the upper end at the campground and hiked downstream. We found some good accessible water about a mile down if I remember correctly.
"Here fishy fishy."
in hindsight i'm real glad we bailed on eagle creek. i couldn't imagine trying to cross the stream sunday as was originally planned. i hope whoever we were to be sharing the island with last weekend saw the forecast and did the same.
stu was hesitant to park at the falls, afraid of someone liberating his belongings from the truck so we hiked in from the trail near the campground. there was some decent water around camp and just a short hike down from there. i also fished a couple of pools above the bridge, and got some nice takes but i didn't land any of them. saturday morning i hiked about 30 minutes downstream from where i started friday and did not find that kind of access. though i admit i would have trekked further had it not been for cold steady rain and my deteriorating mood.

Skin protection wheelchair cushions for older nursing home residents reduce 6-month incidence of ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers compared with segmented foam cushions
- 1King's College London, Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery, Department of Adult Nursing, London, UK
- 2Ghent University, Department of Public Health, Nursing Science Unit, Belgium
- Correspondence to Dimitri Beeckman
James Maxwell Building, 57 Waterloo Road, London SE1 8WA, UK; dimitri.beeckman{at}kcl.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
▪ A pressure redistributing wheelchair cushion, used in a fitted wheelchair, is recommended to reduce the incidence of sitting-acquired pressure ulcers in nursing home residents.
▪ Selecting a wheelchair cushion must be a thought-out and well-advised decision and must be based on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team specialised in seating and mobility.
▪ Wheelchair fit and function must be monitored and adjusted frequently to avoid missing foot and arm rests which may cause more pressure and shear on the bony prominences.
▪ More research is needed to study the effect of repositioning protocols (posture and frequency) for at-risk patients seated in a wheelchair.
When seated in a chair, the body weight causes the greatest exposure to pressure over the ischial tuberosities. …

In short: Excellent marathon in every way!In full: Excellent organisation throughout, brilliant friendly happy marshalls and volunteers who encouraged and cheered everyone on who passed - wished I had entered earlier so my name was printed on my number and I could have it called out too! Loads of drink stations so no need to carry your own (why add the extra weight?), pretty scenery along lanes and closed roads, didnt ever feel crowded so you could run at your own pace throughout. Enjoyed the finish into the race course and excellent organisation at the end. Goody bag was clearly designed with supporting children in mind as there was a large bag of Haribos in there! Nice medal and a proper technical long sleeved t-shirt which fits me so I can use it again!

In short: It's growing and it will become a must do marathonIn full: Following the mess at the start in Liverpool last year I am not surprised that people wanted to,try Chester which is in the same month. Heavens alive, was it worth it? You bet it was. Good route. Some hills which were challenging but not bad. Water station plentiful with choices of water, gels and fruit juices and the smiliest, happiest volunteers you have ever seen who must have been well briefed because I didn't see one who didn't smile or encourage the runners with their names ( which were on the race numbers). Slick start and even slicker finish with lanes, covered goody bag collection and a goodie bag which would put some of the larger races to shame. Toilets everywhere on the course by the way. An example to anyone wanting to run a marathonDate of review: October 7, 2012

Although the judges praise his use of quince and cream cheese atop toast, they question the spice mixture atop his sliced eel, and he's ultimately chopped after the first round. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/0/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Komack-03_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Showcasing Smokiness "My vision was to enhance that smoked flavor [of the eel] by charring the bread and scallions," Chef Elise Kornack said while presenting her appetizer. She serves the panel brown butter-laced smoked eel with an haricot vert salad tossed with charred scallions and cream cheese spread, and Judge Maneet Chauhan says that she "definitely nailed that." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/0/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Kaye-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Asian Inspiration Chef Corwin Kave's appetizer of tom tua, a Thai bean salad, is well received on account of its "proper balance of flavor from the spice and heat," according to Judge Geoffrey Zakarian, but his anti-griddled cream cheese spread is less successful. "It really didn't add to the dish," Judge Maneet says of that element, which is left off of Judge Scott Conant's plate altogether. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/3/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Tanaka-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Near-Disaster With such mandatory entree ingredients as frog legs, yuzu marinde, gin and tofu, Chef Jun Tanaka begins work on caramelized frog legs with fried tofu when the unthinkable happens: He drops all but a few frogs' legs on the floor, forcing him to serve what little he has left. "I know I need to make that one mouthful of frogs' legs so delicious that they all forget everything else," Chef Jun says after the incident. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/2/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Komack_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Better With Broth The standout element of Chef Elise's dish is the gin-spiked vegetable broth that surrounds her yuzu-marinated tofu and buttery frog legs. "Just delicious flavor," Judge Geoffrey remarks of this component, despite wondering if Chef Elise has achieved a marriage in the different features of her plate. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/0/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Kaye_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Dinner and a Drink Not only did Chef Corwin offer the judges a full plate of fried frog legs, sesame seed-topped tofu and green chili sauce, but he also serves them a lemon-gin cocktail. Although Judge Scott calls the drink "thoughtful," he ultimately deems it "a complete disconnect," and Chef Corwin is chopped just one course before the finale. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/0/CALM_Evaluation-Judges_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Funny Business Typically no-nonsense judges, Scott, Maneet and Geoffrey indulge in a quick group laugh while chatting with the chefs before them. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/3/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Tanaka_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Eyes On the Eggs With a dessert basket of jackfruit, Araucana eggs, coconut macaroons and chocolate-covered pretzels at his disposal, Chef Jun creates a clafoutis to pay homage to the eggs. "The way I create dishes is to showcase one particular ingredient," he explains, baking the dish with fresh raspberries, crushed pretzels and jackfruit. "It's like a little bowl of goodness and it makes me happy," Judge Scott tells Chef Jun of his offering. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/2/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Ted-Allen-Chef-Komack-02_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Taking Risks Chef Elise says that she's hoping to "push the envelope" with her dessert of egg semifreddo served with a basil-coconut macaroon topping. "Being creative and playful — that's going to help me win." Although Judge Geoffrey compliments her on a "modern and abstract" preparation, Chef Elise is ultimately chopped, on account of what Judge Geoffrey calls a "sour-forward" puree of jackfruit. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/21/3/CALM_ROUND-THREE-Chef-Tanaka-02-Horz_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Finale-Bound Chef Jun Tanaka has claimed round-three victory in the Chopped Champions kitchen and will advance to the ultimate finale battle to compete for the title of Chopped Grand Champion and a $50,000 prize.

Reviews for Garden Shell Salad
"Just made this salad didnt have white balsamic vinegar so used red balsamic and added some carrots .This salad is so good i cant wait for dinner so my family can try it . A keeper"
"I forgot the mustard, but it is an easy, excellent recipe! We loved it!"
"I've made this often. Wonderful recipe. I use one cup of peas though. 2 cups is too much for me. Many have asked me for this recipe. I noticed one person stated they omitted the vinegar, basil and mustard. The dressing is what makes the recipe. Highly recommend not dong that. LOL!"
"Used regular mayo and regular balsamic vinegar I had on hand. Omitted the red pepper and added chopped tomato. Excellent! Will be making this often!"
"I have made this several times. I really didn't know the impression it made on my family until my son's girlfriend called me to ask for the recipe. He had told her it was the best pasta salad he had ever tasted! She made it and called me back to thank me for her success."
"I omit the vinegar, basil and mustard to better suit our taste. Adding cubed cooked ham to this easy salad makes it a main dish we enjoy during the hot summer months."

Topic: datetime_select narrow down minutes list
Is it possible to tell datetime_select to only have 00 and 30 in the minutes drop down list? If not, how can I provide such a list?

Is it possible to tell datetime_select to only have 00 and 30 in the minutes drop down list? If not, how can I provide such a list?
You can disable the minute select for datetime_select then make your own using select.
<%= select :model, 'attribute(...)', ['00', '30'] %>
I have the following, but it does not work:

Execution date

<%= datetime_select 'command', 'date_to_execute', :discard_minute => true %>:
<%= select 'command', 'date_to_execute', ['00', '30'] %>
<select id="command_date_to_execute" name="command[date_to_execute]">
<option value="00">00</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
But by looking at the pattern of the source code generated by 'datetime_select', shouldn't it generate something like:
<select id="command_date_to_execute_5i" name="command[date_to_execute(5i)]">
<option value="00">00</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
How do I get that 5i in the generated HTML?
Last edited by amiridis (2007-05-25 23:20:48)
I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try:
<%= select :command, 'date_to_execute(5i)', ['00', '30'] %>
Suppose we want only values "00" and "30" to be displayed in minutes.
It can be done as follows:
= f.datetime_select(:leave_end, :start_year => 2010, :ampm => true, :default => 0.days.from_now.in_time_zone(@timezone), :discard_minute => true)
%span :
= f.select('req_sess_start(5i)', ['00', '30'])
But this way, the page throws exception of unknown variable req_sess_start(5i) if any validation fails on the page. But works, if all validations are met.
Following doesn't throws this exception:
= f.datetime_select(:req_sess_start, :start_year => 2010, :ampm => true, :default => 0.days.from_now.in_time_zone(@timezone), :minute_step => 30)
It works.

President needs to fulfill his climate promise
As President Obama prepares to start his second term, he needs to fulfill at least one self-imposed "obligation."
Following his re-election, President Obama offered a vision of his second term agenda. While the economy was still at the top of his list, the President also included addressing climate change among his top priorities and committed to working to find a solution on climate change in his second term.
Now is the time to fulfill that obligation by immediately committing resources and political capital to the task, including his own time, to build consensus to meaningful action to find climate solutions.
The president is willing to work with Congress to accomplish this task. However, in the event cooperation from Congress isn't forthcoming, the President should be prepared to exercise his regulatory authority to achieve positive and lasting results on climate change. Working in cooperation with industry, he's used this authority to set strong fuel efficiency and clean car standards that are achieving historic reductions in greenhouse gases that trigger climate change. He can do the same with strong standards for carbon pollution from both new and existing power plants, the nation's leading source of toxic climate pollutants.

Living the Land Grant Mission Everyday
Our greatest challenge is truly being able to capture the breadth of our department's work. It has also changed over the years, from a Farm Economics department that included rural sociology, to one that deals with the entire farmer-to-consumer food system, environmental and natural resource issues, and local and international economic development. We have faculty and staff in Lexington, Elizabethtown, Bowling Green, Hopkinsville, Owensboro, Henderson, Princeton, and Mayfield. We are also the administrative home for Kentucky's Small Business Development Center. We are heavily involved in College-wide programs like the Community Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky, the Food Systems Innovation Center, the Center for Crop Diversification, International Programs, Ag Equine Programs, and the Office of Diversity. We are collaborative and we are effective.
SAEA!!! We are on our way!
We will be well represented at SAEA (our regional Agricultural Economics meeting) this year with over 20 faculty and grads presenting over 30 papers and posters. Among the people representing our department are (from left to right): Jun Ho Seok, Yves Ilunga, Bo Chen, Tyler Mark, Jason Simon, Leigh Maynard, Jerrod Penn, Hua Zhong, Yuqing Zheng, and Wuyang Hu.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (243 votes).
In short: good out and back- with interest on the shingle!In full: Great organisation - with lots of parking nearby (a plus if you are from "out of town"). If it had not been raining, this would have been an excellent, uplifting run - but with the rain - along with seaweed and deep puddles - concentration was required on where to put the next step!!!Everyone was really friendly. The marshalls were great (thanks for coming out on a wet Sunday morning!! :) )Nice to have the faster runners cheering us slow ones at the back over the finish, and a nice bit of soup at the end to warm up with.loved the hot/cold pack in the goody bag - well used already!!!hope to see you next year.Date of review: February 22, 2010
In short: Interesting mixed-terrain course. Tougher than i thought it was going to be! In full: The course starts with a nice flat run along the front but then turns back and goes a bit mental from mile 8, running over muddy fields, over shingly beaches and round commons. So I found it pretty hard going for last few miles and had to abandon pace. Really needs one more drinks station (perhaps replace the one at mile 10/11 with one at about mile 5/6. Apart from that well organised and good fun. Date of review: February 22, 2010
In short: lovely run with some interesting muddy bits! Needs another water station but so friendly and well organised, thanks Rob and marshalls- great job!Date of review: February 22, 2010
In short: Multi terrain – tarmac, shingle, grass, mud & seaweed! In full: It was great to run the GSR finishing stretch feeling so fresh! I found this race quite hard but enjoyable – the format of off and on road worked really well, but I am sure that a lot of PB's would have been lost in the mud and seaweed on the beach. Nice friendly Marshalls but I was expecting a water station at mile 6 (the pre-race map seemed to indicate the 3 & 6 mile stations were one and the same) so was really gasping at mile 9. Jelly beans were lovely.Nice goody bag …………….. thanks for the ice/heat packDate of review: February 22, 2010
In short: Lovely low key event despite the grey clouds and mudIn full: Its was a nice scenic route but at 9 miles went off road and got quite tough because of all the rain that they had been having. Very well marshalled and organised. Nice goody bag. Wet uneven sand at the end almost killed me and made my legs go lactic casing me to walk last mile but despite this was a great race. Local kids cheering at edge telling everyone to run like Micheal Owen made me chuckle.Date of review: February 22, 2010
In short: Loved the contrast between the fast and flat and the muddy / shingle. In full: Loved the contrast between the fast and flat and the muddy / shingle. This was my first half so I wasn't sure on the pacing. I was so busy keeping upright on the slippy mud and avoiding puddles that I was totally relaxed in the last 5 miles. And I came home in less than my target time!Date of review: February 22, 2010
Date of review: February 22, 2010
In short: Enjoyable, well organised, challenging, loved the jelly babiesIn full: Like others I thought mile 8-12 pretty hard going but also did a pb so can't complain and in retrospect enjoyed the challenge although i hurt like hell but might need to train harder? Could have done with extra water station but otherwise really well organised, good job and thank you to Rob and all the marshals.Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: First half that involved shingleIn full: Overall a nice race, was flying until i hit the mud and shingle but still managed a PB so cant complain. My only gripe would be, they need more toilets and another water station. The jelly babies were nice, so thanks to the marshalls, they do this at reading but they end all over the place, this time i actually had some. Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: A flat course with interesting bits, well organised, friendly atmosphereIn full: This was very well organized event with some interesting off road mud and soft shingle along the beach and a few rain showers which made for a challenging run. The stewards and marshals did a wonderful job and the bowls of jelly babies went down well along with lots of smiling and encouragement, you all did a great job guys well done!! Thank you RobDate of review: February 21, 2010

Versailles, Ky. (September 13, 2013) – Dr. William J. Loftus, professor of psychology at Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC), was selected as a recipient of the 2013 Acorn Award. The award was presented during the luncheon program for the Governor's Conference on Postsecondary Education Trusteeship on Friday, September 13 in Louisville.
The annual Acorn Awards recognize outstanding teachers at Kentucky's public and independent colleges and universities. The program is sponsored by the Kentucky Advocates for Higher Education, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of postsecondary education in Kentucky. Recipients receive a $5,000 honorarium and are selected based on information they provide about their reasons for selecting college teaching as a profession, their teaching philosophy and their professional achievements.
"His length and breadth of experiences at the college and Eastern Kentucky have imbued his professional practice with a creative and evaluative energy, a diverse social vision grounded within a variety of learning environments, and an empathic response to the need for educational meanings within individual and community lives," said BSCTC President George D. Edwards.
Dr. Loftus has taught psychology for more than 20 years at BSCTC. He has also served as the Phi Theta Kappa advisor during this time, working with Phi Theta Kappa officers and members to help them attain their goals and be successful. Dr. Loftus holds 10 Phi Theta Kappa Kentucky Regional Outstanding Advisor Horizon Awards from 1993-2013 and was honored with Phi Theta Kappa Advisor of the year award in 2013.
"Without him, many of the students likely would never have believed in themselves. He truly made a difference, a difference measurable in graduation rates that simply would not have existed but for his generous and loving heart," said Division One, Seventh Appellate District Judge Sara Walter Combs.
Dr. Loftus has also received numerous awards for his unique and innovative teaching methods during his tenure at BSCTC. Some of these accolades include: University of Kentucky Alumni Association's Great Teacher Award; three BSCTC Great Teacher Awards; and four National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) Excellence Awards.
Dr. Loftus studied at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa where he received a bachelors and a master's degree in psychology. He attended Florida State University for his doctorate degree, which he received in 1989.
In "A Students Tribute to Dr. Bill Loftus" a former student said, "Bill Loftus is a man of numerous accomplishments, academic rigor, mentorship, compassion, and most of all a man with an immense consideration for those whose lives he touches."

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Drop-Side Cribs
Units: About 170,000
Distributor: C&T International/Sorelle, of East Rutherford, New Jersey. Before 2003, the company also distributed under the name Golden Baby Inc.
Hazard: The cribs' drop-side hardware can disengage from the tracks, causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop-side partially detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. Complete detachment of the drop sides can lead to falls from the crib. In addition, slats can detach from the sides of the cribs. Infants and toddlers can then become entrapped, strangle or fall out of the crib.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC and C&T/Sorelle have received reports of 104 incidents of drop-side and slat detachments in C&T/Sorelle drop-side cribs. Six infants received bruises and abrasions to the head, face, torso or leg from becoming entrapped or falling after the drop side collapsed. An additional five infants who were entrapped or fell were found by their parents and were not injured.
Description: This recall involves C&T International, Sorelle and Golden Baby wood cribs. The full-size cribs were sold in natural, white and cherry finishes. The model number and/or model name is printed on a label affixed to the footboard or headboard under the Caution statement.
Sold at: Children's product stores and other retailers nationwide from January 2000 through March 2010 for between $300 and $600.
Manufactured in: Italy, Latvia, Brazil, China and Vietnam
Remedy: CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should contact C&T/Sorelle to receive a free replacement kit. For four of the older models of the cribs – the Hampton, Jackie, Nina and Rita models -- the firm may be unable to supply a part to repair the crib and will, instead, provide consumers with a $100 voucher towards the purchase of another C&T product.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact C&T/Sorelle toll-free at (877)791-9398 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.candtinternational.net
The following cribs are recalled:
Note: by clicking on any of the images below, you can view a larger version.
Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at

Each week, executive editor Adam Bryant satisfies your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to�email@example.com.
Do you have any new info on�The Blacklist's�new season? —��Roger
How about some exclusive casting news? Tony-nominated Broadway veteran Norm Lewis — who is currently starring in the title role of�The Phantom of the Opera�and did a stint last season on�Scandal —�has been tapped to play J.P. Laskin, a business associate of Red's who doesn't exactly agree with his recent moves in the ongoing war with Berlin. In fact, I hear Laskin may even be tempted to switch sides. Of course, once Red finds out about the betrayal, he'll probably make the choice for him. Perhaps playing a "phantom" will come in handy!��
I'm really curious to see how Nick and Jess are doing after their break-up last season on�New Girl. What will their dynamic be like when the show returns? —�Lindsay
Four months have passed since Nick and Jess were last romantically involved, but unfortunately for Jess, it's been a bit of a slow summer in the love department. That doesn't mean Jess will be running back to her ex though. In fact, Nick turns out to be a decent support system when Ms. Day attempts to get back out on the dating scene. But ultimately, it will be another housemate — and pretty much the last one most would expect — who will give Jess some great advice on how to pick up a dude. Living with boys isn't all bad after all!
Is�Gotham's version of�James Gordon more of an antihero? — Matt
Not initially. But when you consider that all of Gordon's steel-jawed good intentions to clean up Gotham eventually end with a man dressed in a rubber Batsuit coming to save the day, it's pretty much assured that he'll face some challenges. But that doesn't mean he's doomed to fail. "There will be triumphs. The mere fact that he tries to maintain his integrity is a victory," executive producer Danny Cannon says.�"He finds a way, not to control it, but he learns what Gotham is. It's this vast machine and its internal engines are driven by corruption and have been since the beginning of time. Gordon has to change in order for that machine to not break down."
Page 2 of 5 -
Got any new�CSI�spoilers? �—�Shannon
Yep! I can exclusively reveal that�Necessary Roughness�star Marc Blucas will be heading to Las Vegas. Blucas will play Adam King, a former addict who has used his own life experiences to help others as the director of a high-end rehab facility in the desert. When one of his patients ends up dead in a swimming pool, the CSIs will be forced to take a closer look at the sometimes�controversial�treatment methods Adam employs.�
Any Damon-Elena scoop on�The Vampire Diaries? —�Meredith
Until the duo is reunited� — which doesn't seem likely to happen for a while — there isn't much to tease on that front. On the other hand, the tension between Caroline and Stefan will come to a head early on when our favorite blonde finally confronts him about her feelings �— and Elena overhears the whole thing! Even though Nina Dobrev�told us�Elena would be all "awko-taco"�about a Stefan-Caroline pairing, you'll still be surprised by her reaction.�
Criminal Minds�spoilers, please!�—�Mandy
Although we meet her in the premiere, viewers won't get the full 411 on Jennifer Love Hewitt's character Kate Callahan for a while. Some of her secrets will emerge when a case early in the season hits a little too close to home. (Hint: It involves a plane crash.) And although she'll fill in the blanks to at least one member of the BAU, he or she may not be the first person to find out.
I know everyone is focused on Danny and Mindy on�The Mindy Project, but what can you say about the love lives of everyone else at the practice?� —�Jessi
Remember Lauren, that single mom Peter fell hard for at the end of last season? It looks like Peter won't be the only one competing for her affections this season once Jeremy throws his hat in the ring. The good news: That'll leave Peter free to go on a�disastrous blind date�with�Allison Tolman. Aw, jeez!
Page 3 of 5 - I'm dying for some information on the new season of�Hannibal. Got anything? —�Brett
As creator Bryan Fuller already said, the Season 3 opener, which picks up nearly a year after the events of the Season 2 finale, will be all about Hannibal and Bedelia's fabulous new life in Europe — except it may not be so fabulous. Although the duo poses as husband and wife while Hannibal stalks a new victim, it won't be long before one of the locals discovers the murderous truth about Dr. Lecter. Even worse, I hear Bedelia could be the reason the cat gets out of the bag! How many betrayals must Hannibal suffer?!
I know it doesn't premiere for a while, but I'm really interested in�Battle Creek. Anything you can tell me about it? —�Justin
I can tell you that the show is assembling a pretty great guest cast. First, the buddy-cop drama from�Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan and�House's David Shore has enlisted�Patton Oswalt�to�play Mayor Scooter Hardy. Now, I can exclusively reveal that another former�House�regular — Kal Penn is a series regular — Peter Jacobson will play Darrel, Mayor Hardy's chief of staff and brother. Anyone else think Hugh Laurie might make a good governor?
Any hints at what to expect this season of�Boardwalk Empire? —�Philip
Expect to see a�lot�of young Nucky via flashbacks to his days working for The Commodore in nascent Atlantic City. It will become pretty clear how Nucky became the man he is today. (He sees plenty of things a kid has no business seeing.) It'll also underline just how alone Nucky is in the present day. Speaking of being alone, if you thought things couldn't get any worse for Chalky at the end of last season, just wait until you see how he's spending his time this year.
Page 4 of 5 - I loved seeing Christian Borle on�Masters of Sex�this week. Any other cool guest stars coming up? —�Heather
Indeed!�Sunday's�episode will introduce�Spartacus: Blood and Sand�star Erin Cummings as Miss Kitty, a high-end prostitute whom Betty helps Masters recruit for a specific mission that may or may not involve Bill and Virginia's research. Let's just say that Kitty is willing to lend a helping hand with Lester's, ahem, performance problem. In that case, perhaps Dr. Masters�should�be taking notes.
So glad�Halt and Catch Fire�was renewed! Do you have intel on what Season 2 will look like now that Joe blew things up? —�Molly
Don't worry: Joe won't be wandering in the wilderness forever. In fact, even though the producers want to deepen the excellently developed ensemble, Joe will remain first among equals. "Joe for us has always been the reason that we're here," co-executive producer Christopher Cantwell says. "He is the catalyst that enters everybody's life. [Whether] he's a constructive or destructive force, he's the one that everyone is attached to. We want to explore how this guy continues to affect the ebb and flow of these other characters' lives." That said, look for Joe's mysterious backstory to hit the back burner. "We needed to start from the place [of mystery] to get him to the place he ended up," co-executive producer Christopher C. Rogers says.
Mega Rave:�I'm generally opposed to reboots, but I am�totally on board for this! They just better keep the theme song.
Mini Rant:�Sure, he didn't play the best game, but it's going to be hard to watch the rest of this season of�Big Brother�without Donny in the house. Thanks for nothing, Team America!
Page 5 of 5 - This Week's Recommendation:�Boardwalk Empire�(Sunday, Sept. 7�at 9/8c on HBO) and�Sons of Anarchy�(Tuesday, Sept. 9�at 10/9c on FX) Although these two shows about law-breakers couldn't be more different, they both begin what are sure to be emotional, heavy-hitting final seasons this week. Whether you prefer bootlegging or gun-running, it'd be a shame to miss these great shows' final acts.

I know this question has been asked before, but it's always with the caveat -- "I come from a PHP, Java, C++, ASP etc"... background. I'm a total newb on the other hand. I have only HTML/CSS and some Javascript.
I'd like to add a server side language to my skillset, so I've been studying Ruby on Rails. It's been going ok, but I'm finding it hard to put the skills to use. In my area there are a lot of jobs for PHP/Drupal developers, but nothing for Ruby and Rails. I'm concerned I've gotten a little off track, and am learning an advanced language, when really I should be tackling something like PHP.
Since the market seems a bit the same for PHP and Ruby, did most of you learn PHP first, and then come to Ruby afterward to make your lives easier? Does anyone have advice, on if HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP/RoR is a good path for advancement in web development?

All were very well satisfied super,
Thanks to Marco
alles super waren sehr gut zufrieden,
Danke an Marco
Marcos apartment, Greenhouse, lived up to our expectations and provided what we needed.
We were on arrival kindly received by Stefano who showed us around the apartment, which appeared clean and ready for use.
It was Stefano who know our departure came and completed our stay in Berlin in a positive and friendly manner.
The apartment's location near the river and the park at Charlottenburg Palace allowed for good walks with lovely scenery.
There were grocery stores very close to the apartment, and express bus service to the center of Berlin.
All agreements with Marco was observed and there were no hidden agendas.
We were happy to stay in Marcos apartment, and would like to use it again on future visits to Berlin.
Birthe Hansen.
Marcos ferielejlighed, Green House, levede op til vores forventninger, og indeholdt, hvad vi havde brug for.
Vi blev ved ankomsten venligt modtaget af Stefano, som viste os rundt i lejligheden, der fremstod ren og klar til brug.
Det var også Stefano, der ved vores afrejse kom og afsluttede vores ophold i Berlin på en positiv og venlig måde.
Lejlighedens beliggenhed tæt ved floden og ved parken ved Charlottenburg Slot gav mulighed for gode traveture med dejlige naturoplevelser.
Der var dagligvarebutikker meget tæt ved lejligheden, og hurtig busforbindelse til Berlins centrum.
Alle aftaler med Marco blev overholdt, og der var ingen skjulte dagsordener.
Vi var glade for at bo i Marcos lejlighed, og vil gerne benytte den igen ved fremtidige besøg i Berlin.
Med venlig hilsen
Birthe Hansen.
Everything fine, reception, apartment quiet despite busy street with garden in front. Super place, 2 bus lines, supermarket, 4 museums and lock (park) and cruise option around the corner.
Alles prima, ontvangst, appartement rustig ondanks drukke straat door tuin aan de voorkant. Plek super, 2 buslijnen, supermarkt, 4 musea en slot (park) en rondvaart mogelijkheid om de hoek.
The apartment was very good. It was all right. We would definitely come back. Family Cieluch
Die Ferienwohnung war sehr gut. Es war alles in Ordnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Familie Cieluch
very good location and very nice person
sehr gute Lage und sehr nette Person
Hi Marco,
We were very pleased with the accommodations. It was quiet, comfortable and the apartment was centrally located.
Thank you and kind regards
Hallo Marco,
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Es war sehr ruhig, gemütlich und die Wohnung lag zentral.
Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüsse
This appartment is wonderful, everything is in it and it´s not far from the city. Marco is very nice and straightforward!
We had a very nice stay in the apartment of Marco. It is a clean and well maintained apartment. Marco is a kind man who is willing to help you! The city center is 20 minutes away by tram from the apartment, which we found not always favorable. Night Night buses run to Lagro Preneste.
Wij hebben een erg prettig verblijf gehad in het appartement van Marco. Het is een schoon en goed onderhouden appartement. Marco is een vriendelijke man die bereid is je te helpen! Het centrum ligt op 20 min. reizen met de tram van het appartement, wat wij niet altijd even gunstig vonden. 's Nachts rijden er nachtbussen naar Lagro Preneste.
My guests were satisfied with all aspects of their stay in the holiday apartment 'Casa Verde'. Host and registration friendly and uncomplicated, everything you need is there, the situation is very central and close to public transport and the park/castle of Charlottenburg. City boatTrips start from nearby, and there's a supermarket across the road. Although the apartment is on a busy main street, it is not noisy. Tastefully arranged interior, with interesting wall-maps of Berlin in various eras of its history. Bus direct to Tegel airport, still relevant! Would definitely book this apartment again.
We had a great week at Marco in Rome. The apartment is small but nice. Only the shower is a bit tight (especially when one is 7 months pregnant to get out of the shower into almost :)). Tram stop almost outside the front door. We can only recommend the apartment.
Wir hatten eine super Woche bei Marco in Rom. Die Wohnung ist klein, aber fein. Lediglich die Dusch ist etwas eng (vor allem, wenn man im 7. Monat schwanger ist kommt man fast nicht in die Dusche hinein :) ). Tramhaltestelle fast vor der Haustüre. Wir können die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen.

ATI Technologies, a leading developer of graphics and consumer electronics chips, is expected to roll-out its own bridge solution to allow PCI Express graphics processors to work in AGP systems. The maneuver will reproduce approach of arch-rival NVIDIA Corp. to set AGP graphics processing units to function with PCI Express x16 systems.
"ATI's Rialto is a bridge chip for AGP graphics cards based on visual processing units with PCI Express x16 interconnection," a well-informed source close to the company told X-bit labs Tuesday.
The code-named
Typically new personal computers with PCI Express x16 bus for graphics cannot work with AGP 8x graphics cards. Older systems with AGP bus also cannot handle PCI Express x16 add-in boards. For makers of graphics chips it means they either have to ship two product lineups, which may be inefficient from economic standpoint, or develop a special bridge that will allow to use the same GPUs to power different graphics cards.
Currently ATI remains tight-lipped over details concerning the
A chip that turns PCI Express signals to AGP signals would allow ATI's PCI Express VPUs, such as RADEON X300, RADEON X700 or newer to work in AGP systems. If the chip is able to transform AGP signals into PCI Express signals, ATI will also be able to address PCI Express market with AGP 8x chips, however, in the past ATI denounced such move of its opponent NVIDIA and may not go this route.
Official representatives for ATI Technologies did not comment on the news-story.

Northrop Grumman Delivers 100th F-35 Avionics System
Northrop Grumman on Monday announced the delivery of its 100th avionics system for Lockheed Martin's fifth generation F-35 Lighting II fighter jet.
(A Northrop Grumman test engineer conducts manufacturing testing on a transceiver module for the AN/ASQ-242 communications, navigation and identification system for the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter aircraft. Photo, courtesy of Northrop Grumman.)
The system--the AN/ASQ-242 communications, navigation and identification (CNI) system--provides F-35 pilots with 27 different avionics functions, including; Identification Friend or Foe, precision navigation and voice and data communications. CNI allows pilots to operate these functions simultaneously as part of the F-35 mission systems suite.
"By incorporating lessons learned from previous programs and early F-35 low-rate production lots, we're delivering highly robust and reliable CNI systems that demonstrate extensive fifth-generation fighter capabilities," said Mike Twyman, vice president and general manager of Northrop's defense systems division.
In addition to the CNI system, Northrop also provides the center fuselage and electro-optical subsystem for the F-35.
According to another F-35 Lighting II supplier, initial operational capability for the fighter jet is expected by 2015.

How to Reduce Your Tax Liability in 2013
By Ellen Chang
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Single taxpayers have several options to reduce their tax liability each year, enabling them to save more money.
If purchasing a house is not in your immediate plans, tax professionals recommend various methods to lower the amount you pay to the IRS annually.
Investors should take advantage of their employee retirement plans, which are commonly known as 401(k)s or 403(b)s, said Michelle Mullen, a CPA with Briggs & Veselka Co., based in Houston, Tex. The money invested into a 401(k) or 403(b) is tax deferred, which means you do not have to pay taxes on the amount until you reach retirement age and make a withdrawal. The 2013 limit for contributions is $17,500.
Even allocating as little as 3% of your salary into a 401(k) plan adds up quickly, but Mullen suggests stashing away 15% of your salary.
"I recommend that investors save absolutely as much as they can afford," she said. "If you form a savings habit early when you are not making that much money, you won't miss it. Start now. Every little bit counts. If you are already established in your career, it's never too late to start saving and tax planning."
Some companies encourage you to save more money by matching your contributions, which maximizes your savings.
"The first rule is to take advantage of your employer retirement plan," Mullen said. "If you are single without any dependents, you are likely to be in the 25% tax bracket. It is absolutely crazy to pass it up, especially if an employer matches your contributions, which is free money."
Some companies offer a Roth 401(k). Although you don't get a deduction for your contributions, the funds you withdraw when you reach retirement age will be tax free, said Ed Gardner, a CPA and CFP at Edward M. Gardner PC, based in Houston.
Some companies offer both options to put funds into a 401(k) or a Roth 401(k). If you feel that you will be in a higher tax bracket when you retire, a Roth 401(k) contribution might be a good choice.
Another priority is to take advantage of your company's health savings account (HSA). These accounts allow you to allocate a portion of your salary that has not been taxed for medical purposes such as your co-payment during a doctor's visit or for prescription drugs. In order to qualify for a HSA, you must be covered by a high-deductible health plan.

Entrepreneurial Endeavors: The Interviews - Page 4
Mike Burnstein, 23, of Brookline, MA
Burnstein (right) with co-founder Dave Spandorfer.
Elite marathoner. New trail runner.
Co-founder, Janji: Running-apparel company that raises awareness and money for the global food and water crisis.
1. Tell me a little bit about the history of Janji. What made you and Dave so passionate about the global food and water crisis in particular?
My college teammate Dave and I came up with the idea for Janji while on the bus to the NCAA track championships my sophomore year. We just realized that there was so much potential in the running world. So many people are out there running every day, and we wanted to channel that energy towards something positive. We saw the impact road races have had in raising funds for various causes, but unfortunately that began and ended on race day. We wanted to contribute in a more sustainable way--running apparel.
We chose the food and water crisis because we saw it as the most fundamental problem. Everyone deserves access to clean water and proper nutrition yet there are so many people who go without. Once a group of people has consistent access to proper nutrition and clean water, the social and economic impact is massive.
Also, it's an issue that hits especially close to home for runners. It would be impossible to get through a three-mile jog, or a 100k trail race without proper nutrition and hydration! It's our access to these fundamental rights that allows us to participate in our passion, but not everyone is so lucky.
2. What has your running career looked like so far?
I got into running as a freshman in high school as a way to get myself into shape in hopes of making my high school's basketball team. Basketball was my first love, but I soon found more success in running than I ever did in 10 years playing basketball. I didn't love running at first, but over time it grew on me.
I was very lucky to be a part of strong running tradition in high school at Brookline High in Massachusetts. We had a dream season my senior year where we won states as a team, finishing with the lowest point total in state history.
I later ran for Washington University in Saint Louis. I moved up to the 10K race on the track, but cross country was my true love. I finished college with six All-American awards, most of which came after barely qualifying for championship meets. College running was a blast. It was a really special experience to be able to train and race with your best friends.
Post-grad I took about half a year off from serious running, where I had some fun playing in a few basketball leagues before getting back into it with a focus on the marathon. I recently competed in the Boston Marathon where I ran 2:28. I'm planning on doing some trail racing this summer before gearing up for the New York City Marathon next fall.
3. A little bird told me you recently discovered trail running while visiting some national parks on a road trip for Janji.
I focus on marketing and product development for Janji, but being a startup, I have also taken on some work in sales. In the fall of 2012 I was lucky enough to head out on a six-week road trip, visiting running stores across the country. One of my first stops on the trip was in Albuquerque where I stayed with a friend. He took me on a trail run on the foothills outside of the city and I was blown away.
Especially after spending 10 hours in a car driving through Oklahoma, it was an incredible experience. It was very emotionally freeing--like all of the small things that had been bugging me didn't matter because in that moment I was entirely surrounded by natural beauty. Also, more so than road running you need to focus on your footing, requiring an added level of focus that forces you to live in the present. I was hooked.
4. You and Dave are both young entrepreneurs. Where did you pick up the skills to accomplish what you have with Janji?
Honestly, Dave and I are definitely unqualified to do what we're doing. The good thing is, we recognize that we don't know everything. We are constantly seeking advice from our amazing group of mentors who have helped us at every step of the way. Now that we are one year in, we've learned so much and are light years ahead of last year. However, one of the main things you learn as an entrepreneur is how little you actually know. It's important to differentiate what you should try to do yourself, and where you need help.
5. Do you struggle to find time to run/train while also running a small business?
We work hard at Janji, but fortunately we also have the flexibility to train seriously. Personally, running helps me organize my life making me much more productive. Also, having a training partner as a co-founder helps. Most of our strategy sessions take place on easy runs after work.
6. What has been the most rewarding part of your work?
Nothing is more rewarding then seeing or hearing about the work from our partnering organizations. Each organization that we help fund does absolutely incredible life-saving work, and it's truly humbling seeing their impact on a daily basis. It's an honor to help them do their work.
7. What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Think of it like training for a big race. First you need to decide that you're doing the race. That's the hardest part. Next, you need to set long-term goals, and establish a plan in how to get there. You need to work hard every day to execute that plan, but that's not enough. Once in a while you need to stop and think about whether your plan is working or not. If not, you need to adjust and keep plugging away.

We love the short cross between a bob and pixie that she has going on in this picture. Robyn has had this short hairstyle going on from way back in the 90's and still doing it justice to this day with minor style tweaks.

This is a very smooth clay, it is extremely soft when you get it but you can let it air for a while to gain some body. It air dries very hard and is great for a variety of sculpting projects.
