Pulaski Tech culinary students Angela and Roman Henry are working to make a good thing better.
Earlier this summer, the couple made their entrepreneurial debut at Riverfest, selling homemade gourmet fried pies at Riverfest. Their "FunkdFried" concession stand caught plenty of attention from festival goers who stopped by to try a treat the couple promises is "not your average fried pie."
"It was quite an experience," Angela said. "We learned a lot. Everyone told us that the first year at Riverfest is the hardest. By the second year, people are familiar with your product, and by the third year, they expect to find it."
Over the three-day festival weekend, the couple enlisted the help of Angela's parents to help man the concessions stand during shifts that ran as long as 14 hours - and to help care for her two children who are both under the age of 2.
Both Angela and Roman have completed technical certificates in culinary arts and wine and spirit studies. Both are pursuing associate degrees in culinary arts, and Angela is also pursuing an additional associate degree in hospitality management.
The married couple came up with the idea for specialty fried pies while making empanadas in their international cuisine class.
"My husband and I had been collaborating, figuring out what all we could put in a fried pie," Angela recalled.
After securing a spot as one of Riverfest's vendors, the Henrys got busy and made more than 2,000 fried pies - and not your average fried pies. They made Philly cheese steak pies, chicken parmesan, traditional Reubens, Thai curry chicken and Jamaican jerk chicken pies - which they sold for $6 each. They also sold the more traditional dessert pies like apple, chocolate, peach and Boston cream for $4 each.
Their top seller? The Boston Cream.
Now, they're already thinking ahead to next year.
"I've been testing all sorts of recipes," Angela said. "Maybe next year, we'll have some new offerings."

I have to say I have yet to be unable to find an answer to any of the questions I've had.
Sometimes there are several very different answers!!! Hehehe!

Gone Coastal in Marin County
The Lodge at Tiburon • Tiburon, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($129) or Fridays and Saturdays ($139), in a Deluxe Room
- $25 Credit for Tiburon Tavern
- $20 Wine Card
- Welcome Snack Amenity
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Two Nights
A smallish town in Marin County, Tiburon is situated at the tip of a peninsula stretching out into the San Francisco Bay, where the views are nothing short of amazing. A popular day jaunt for SF denizens via a 20-minute ferry ride, "Tiburon is slightly more low-key than Sausalito, and the community favors Sunday brunch and cocktail hour," Fodor's says.
On three acres just off Main Street, The Lodge at Tiburon's recent renovation makes the destination even more appealing (if that's possible). Taking a cue from its location just steps from the Bay, rooms have an airy, California vibe with plantation shutters, neutral colors, and wainscot headboards—most have balconies or patios. Complimentary wireless Internet access, mini fridges, DVD players (a selection of movies can be found at the front desk), and Gilchrist & Soames bath products round out the in-room amenities, while cabanas surround the property's heated pool and whirlpool. On chilly evenings, guests gather by a fire on the Skydeck.
For more extensive vistas, hike the Ridge Trail or head to Muir Woods, an awe-inspiring redwood forest. Cyclists can take the three-mile paved Tiburon Bike Path to Blackie's Pasture Park, while window shoppers can browse the boutiques and art galleries on Ark Row.
Back at the hotel, the Tiburon Tavern focuses on comfort farm-to-table fare in an atmosphere with a "chic gastropub vibe." Three WineStations dispensing about 20 local and foreign wines and an included card pre-loaded with $20 make it easy to taste a variety of vino. On the menu, shared plates include deviled eggs (organic and local, of course) with house-made chorizo and lamb sliders topped with goat cheddar and harissa yogurt, while the Head to Tail Burger and seared halibut hold court with sides like sweet potato fries and grilled squash with roasted jalapeño salsa verde. And it's not just the dinner dishes that include the name of a local purveyor in the description: In the morning, steel-cut oatmeal and Belgian waffles are topped with seasonal fruit, eggs come from a Sonoma County farm, and the granola is homemade.
"Larkspur Hotels and Restaurants has given it a spectacular makeover that reflects the waterfront opulence of this idyllic Marin County town. Muted earth tones add stately elegance and in select rooms, shuttered doors open to private balconies."-- Sunset Magazine

Tour Prices - USD/CAD
Prices listed are on a per person basis, sharing accommodation (unless otherwise stated). Land only tour prices do not include international flights. Please refer to the tour notes for details of what is included in the cost.
Tour prices shown on this website are a guide only. The selling price at the time you book your trip could be different as prices change regularly for various reasons.
Rooming on tour & Single Room Option
Most tours are based on customers sharing twin-bedded rooms. If you book as an individual, you will be roomed with someone of the same sex. However, on many tours we offer the opportunity to pay a supplement to pre-book a single room. On some of these tours a single room will be provided at some of the night-stops but for logistical reasons not all. Individual Trip Notes clarify this. If, for whatever reason, we are unable to provide a single room as outlined in the Trip Notes, we will refund a proportion of the supplement paid to us for the Single Room Option.
Single Room Option - Where you are able to purchase a single room, the price does not necessarily guarantee you a single room for every night of the tour. For details please refer to the individual Trip Notes for your chosen trip.
Debit & Credit Card Payments
You can pay the deposit and full amount due by credit or debit card. We accept Visa and, MasterCard. All charges are transacted in the UK in the currency in which your booking is made. We do not charge fees for credit card transactions in USD or CAD. However because all transactions are processed in the UK some banks or credit card companies may charge a foreign transaction fee (even though we will be charging your card in USD or CAD). Any foreign transaction fees are imposed by your bank or credit card issuer and are not charged or collected by Explore. Therefore we recommend you check with your credit card company to see what their policy is with respect to foreign transaction fees as these range from zero to 3% depending on the card used. If you are a regular international traveller we recommend you utilize a credit card that does not impose foreign transaction fees both for your travel needs in general and to pay for your Explore trip.

It is our responsibility to provide a safe, nutritious food supply.
The recent recall of ground turkey and an E. coli outbreak in Michigan are recent examples of food making people sick. They remind us that it only takes a single recall or outbreak before the entire food production industry is under scrutiny. It is important that we, as producers of food, pay special attention to providing a safe, nutritious product to our consumers.
According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, one in six Americans suffer from foodborne illness with almost 128,000 being hospitalized annually. There are 3,000 foodborne disease deaths each year.
One bad food experience can create aversions to certain types of food. A multitude of foodborne experiences have led to a mass of consumer-driven media that comments on food safety measures. Although milk (of the pasteurized variety) has not been the culprit of foodborne illness lately, it is still important that we take precautions to protect the nation's food supply.
Farmers must adhere to industry regulations and provide processors with the highest quality product. Once it passes from our hands, safety is out of our control. But, many industry groups we may be a part of do educate consumers on proper preparation techniques like how long to cook a certain cut of meat.
Of course, the issue of food safety does not rest entirely on the producer's shoulders. There are many other pieces to the puzzle where something could go wrong. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be concerned about how our product arrives on a consumer's plate.

With its potential to create virtually any usable object from a CAD file and a spool of plastic, 3-D printing holds endless possibilities — some of them disconcerting.
Last year, a Texas-based gun maker garnered media scrutiny when the company unveiled what was said to be the world's first 3-D-printed plastic firearm that actually worked. It triggered a national conversation about gun rights and raised questions about a technology now widely available to consumers.
All the while, SwimWays was quietly printing guns of a less controversial type.
Turns out, 3-D printers are integral in the manufacturing of some well-known pool toys, including squirt guns and water cannons.
A little over a year ago, the Virginia-based toy maker bought an industrial-grade 3-D printer, also called a rapid prototyping machine, which enables designers to fashion plastic into products in a matter of hours.
The technology, long the ace up the sleeves of many manufacturers, is becoming much more affordable.
Take Zodiac Pool Systems' fused deposition modeling machine for example. The FDM printer builds parts for concept models layer by layer with semi-liquid plastic. At $39,000, the machine was out of reach for many smaller makers of pool products.
"That same model, you can buy now between $10,000 and $15,000," says Mark Bauckman, Zodiac's engineering director for hydraulic pool cleaning.
The friendlier price tag gives SwimWays the opportunity to create toys with the same efficiency that Zodiac uses to develop sophisticated pool appliances.
That's good because it drives innovation and gets products to market faster than ever before, but 3-D printers, which can be as small as a bread box or as large as a refrigerator, also hold some worrisome implications for those who mass produce and sell through conventional channels.
For a preview of the coming industrial revolution, take a look at how Gobble Gobble Guppies and Bubble Ring Blasters are made.
SwimWays' new prototyper produces high-grade parts, based on digital 3-D renderings, from thermoplastic (a material that's melted and cooled to form shapes) which are then assembled, tested and refined before sending them to mass production. A squirt gun, for example, is made in two halves which can be ribbed and screwed together.
In the past, engineers relied on outside sources to turn digital files into physical objects. Then there would be a whole lot of back and forth between SwimWays and the vendor as engineers revised their designs, bogging down the production process.
"We don't have to send it over to China and wait two to three weeks to get a sample back," says Tim Clemens, the company's manager of industrial design. "It helps us get into that tangible 3-D world a lot faster. We can hold it in our hands. We can evaluate it better to see how it works. Does it float? Does it sink? Does it feel good in your hands?"
And the potential goes beyond the rapid production of seemingly anything the mind can conjure. Imagine going to the SwimWays website to download a CAD file for a Squiggle Squirter, for example, and printing the toy from your own personal 3-D printer.
"That'd be very cool," Clemens says. "I'm surprised Lego isn't doing it already."
Kram-Co. is.
The Los Angeles-based toy design firm recently developed the Manta, a plastic fish that soars, spins, spirals and flips underwater depending on how you position its tail.
But you're not going to find it at Leslie's.
The only way you can get your hands on one is if you have a 3-D printer.
"There is the opportunity online to manufacture and now actually sell your stuff," says Kram-Co. president Mark Trageser. "That's a whole crazy revolution right there."
"Crazy" and "revolution." You'll hear those words a lot when Trageser describes what he believes is the sort of Napsterization of manufacturing. Just as Napster and other file sharing programs shook up the music industry, Trageser thinks manufacturers are on the cusp of a similar disruption.
"It's not so far in the future," Trageser says. "In fact, it's already here."
While personal 3-D printers are something of a novelty, they're on the fast track to the mainstream. MakerBot, which sells consumer-grade printers between $1,500 and $6,500, recently opened its second and third stores on the East Coast where customers are invited to design and print everything from Christmas tree ornaments to garden gnomes.
MakerBot, owned by Minneapolis-based Stratasys, which has supplied several pool equipment manufacturers with industrial-grade rapid prototyping machines, fosters a "design community" online where hobbyists can upload CAD files of things they've created. You can find pool vacuum nozzles, floating chlorine dispensers and pole brackets, among other printable parts, on Thingiverse, MakerBot's file-sharing website.
Printing enthusiasts too anxious to order replacement parts from manufacturers or retailers are whipping up their own solutions. One Thingiverse designer, who goes by TheRooster, shared how he (or she) created push pins for an aboveground pool.
"Every year I go to set it up and every year something has broken or is missing from the previous year," TheRooster notes on a message board. "Well, this year I had a bunch of broken pool pins. I didn't feel like ordering them and waiting a week for them to arrive via UPS or whatever. Instead, I took a few measurements and modeled them up with my computer!"
The results?
"They worked great all summer long!"
No printer? No problem. The number of items that can be replicated through online printing services, such as Shapeways.com is infinite. Need a replacement wheel for your baby stroller? Is your food processor missing a button? You can purchase digital mock-ups of everyday items directly from designers, which are then made real and delivered to you.
Shapeways.com has several print-ready pool equipment products, including a vacuum pusher jet kit for a well-known brand of cleaner. Cost: $49.95 — an outrageous price tag considering you can buy the genuine product from retailers for less than $20.
Manufacturers caution against these replacement parts, as they could compromise the performance of the equipment.
"While 3-D printing is particularly useful in prototyping, it is not recommended for the development of parts to be used in certain products, such as pool equipment," says Zodiac's Bauckman. "3-D printed parts will likely fall short of quality and reliability standards because 3-D printers are not fine-tuned to the precise measurements of the original manufacturer's part."
Plus, the material likely isn't suited for a pool's harsh chemical environment. Zodiac also warns that the use of "knock-off" parts would void the factory warranty.
But Kram-Co.'s Trageser foresees a day when personal printers are capable of producing products of a much higher quality — a day when homemade and factory-made is virtually indistinguishable.
"Right now it's cumbersome and not perfect, but somebody is going to make it easy," Trageser predicts.
The industry's major players have no real concerns that these micro-manufacturers pose any significant threat. Some are even looking forward to what innovations the maker movement springs forth.
"There will always be garage tinkerers, and I will tell you, some of the innovations that come to the industry come from those garage projects, because they have some very clever minds," says Kevin Potucek, vice president of product management at Hayward Pool Products in Elizabeth, N.J.
However, optimizing and mass marketing those products will almost always require an established manufacturer.
"3-D printing will not take the place of great engineering," Potucek adds.
But it does enable people like Dr. Richard A. DeVerse to work as lone wolves producing a low volume of products. The inventor of the FlowVis, a flow meter, develops gizmos for a variety of industries from his Kona, Hawaii laboratory.
With his industrial-grade 3-D printer, he churns out specialty parts on demand, customizing them with brands or colors, according to client specifications.
Dr. DeVerse wouldn't have it any other way.
"It allows me to live and work in paradise while [remaining competitive]," he says.
How the Big Three use 3-D
Speed to market is the drum beat that makes manufacturers march.
Now they're able to get products into distribution fast by creating prototypes in-house which allows engineers to validate their designs with models that closely resemble the finished product.
This is especially important in a technologically-driven world where products are growing more intelligent at a rapid pace.
"If you burned a year getting to market, then you maybe whacked a third of the life off that product," says Potucek.
When Zodiac Pool Systems develops a new model of pool cleaner, it typically produces 10 to 30 units which are placed in swimming pools so its product development team can gauge performance.
The Vista, Calif.-based manufacturer also calls on its service team to test how easy the units can be taken apart for repairs. Its marketing department, meanwhile, gets hands-on experience with the product to provide feedback on aesthetics.
"We'll go through that and make notes on what needs to be addressed. You want to do that before the tooling phase because once you get into that, everything becomes expensive," says Bauckman.
In Pentair Aquatics System's pursuit of a more efficient pool pump, one engineer took inspiration from — of all things — a golf ball.
The ball's dimpled surface induces turbulence, allowing it to fly farther and faster than a smooth ball.
The engineer decided to apply that same theory to a pump impeller. Using a 3-D printer, he developed a plastic impeller with a bumpy surface to see if it would make the water flow more efficiently.
Did it work? Not so much.
So the designer took the opposite approach and made a concentrically round impeller to boost efficiency.
The point? Innovation comes from trial and error, and with 3-D printing, product developers can experiment more than ever before.

Police: Santa Barbara Area Drug Dealer Arrested
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A three-month narcotics investigation culminated with the arrest of 46-year-old Robert Keith Banks of Inglewood, for possession of heroin for sale, transportation of heroin, and possession of an unlawful weapon. Banks was a supplier of illegal drugs to the Santa Barbara area.
Over 9 ounces of heroin were seized during this operation. In October 2013 detectives from the Santa Barbara Police Department's Narcotics Unit initiated an investigation into Banks's narcotics activities.
He was already wanted on a $20,000.00 arrest warrant for violation of probation stemming from a previous narcotics case.
The investigation resulted in Banks being contacted and arrested for his warrant in the parking lot of the McDonald's Restaurant at 1115 Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria at 8:40 p.m. on January 8, 2014. Banks was found to be in possession of 9.75 ounces of heroin valued at $9,300.00.
He was also found to be armed with a collapsible police-style baton. Investigation revealed that at the time he was contacted Banks was in the process of transporting heroin from the Los Angeles area to a local drug dealer.
Banks was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on the aforementioned charges with a bail amount of $30,000.00.

Romney's failure to explain the difficult decisions that would have to be made makes it hard to see how he can achieve a balanced budget, said Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition.
"It's saying: I believe in lower taxes and smaller government, except perhaps for defense," said Bixby, whose Arlington, Virginia-based group advocates for deficit reduction. "That's really a theme, but he's yet to show how the numbers add up."

What's the best way to get started... I live in the city--Chicago.. getting excited!!
What's the best way to get started... I live in the city--Chicago.. getting excited!!
Best to have two so you can compare them if there is a problem.
It is always a good idea to start with more than one hive. First you can compare the hives, and see how they progress against another. You will be able to see if there is a problem, you might not know what it is, but you could get advice or help from others to diagnose the issue.
Second, you can use resources from one hive to help out the other, if need be. Brood, frames of pollen, honey or a shake of bees from one hive to another can be a huge boost and be the key to keeping them alive.
most people would suggest you get a book and read all you can before you get your bees. there are many out there that are good, first lessons in beekeeping, backyard beekeeper, beekeeping for dummy's, and the list goes on and on.
good luck with your bees!
Welcome, Having more than one gives you something to fall back on if you have trouble with one. With two hives, you can compare them to each other. You will have a source of eggs from the other hives. If one becomes weak, you can add bees or brood from the other. Best of luck!
Two and a half hives are ideal, the half being a nuc to use as a queen bank.
Do alot of research on the path that you would like to take. And then order seperatley instead of kits. It may coast more, but you get what you want.
As a new beek last year go with 2 nucs. Keep the nuc boxes (might cost you thought) and if your doing real good try starting a 3rd or even 4th hive by late summer.
An old beekeeper started me out a long time ago by selling me 2 hives. He recommended I let one thrive and split the other. He said this would teach a lot about bees. It did.
By leaving one hive alone, you get honey, and the opportunity to witness what a strong hive looks like. By splitting the other, you get the education of seeing queen cells being made, how long that process takes, and 3 full hives by the end of the season.
I'm not saying this is how a commercial beek would do it, but lessons learned early on are first hand experience, and last a lifetime.
Are you considering 8 frame mediums?
Nuc equipment adds a lot to the beekeeping experience. It is handy for numerous manipulations.
Always do two or more. I stared with 2 and by the end of the first year had 11. Those were the good old days now it is 150+
Maintaining a nuc is very simple and it gives you an instant queen if you need one. I use 8 frame mediums for all my nucs. I place follower boards, (frames of solid wood) at #1 and #8 frame position to take up excess space and maintain a 6 frame medium nuc. As the nuc grows, you can take out frames of brood to bolster your existing hives to keep your nuc at the same population level.
If you get two hives to start with, you can wait until they build up in the summer then take frames from your strongest hive and make up a nuc. You can introduce a mated queen for your nuc or let them raise their own.
This is my second year keeping. Definately get two to start as others have said. I started a nuc this year and would recommend doing so as well. It's really easy, just take a couple frames from one of your hives (one that has eggs) and let them do their thing.
My nuc turned out to be very valuable a month ago when one of my hives went queenless. I simply combined my nuc with that hive and all's well! Saved me a hive.
I see you're in Milwaukee--- where did you initially get your queen & bees? Were they Italian- as they seem most suited to this climate?? thanks alot
Hi Garbear,
I live in La Grange, IL but have my hives on our farm in Pleasant Prairie, WI (just over the border). I purchased complete start-up sets from separate outfitters, and in hindsight, I wish I would have just purchased the supplies separately because I didn't like certain components that were included in the sets and ended up purchasing additional supplies that I wouldn't had otherwise needed to. Start with two hives, that way if one fails, you don't need to wait until another whole season to stay involved with your bees. I started with package bees, it was really interesting to watch the hives develop on their own from the complete start. I think I learned more from the package bee experience so I don't regret going that way. I'm also new at this, I'm going into my first Winter after starting this past Spring. I purchased my Italian Bee packages from Gardner Apiaries in Georgia but there are several local suppliers in our area. The Oak Park Conservatory has bee keeping classes this March:
There is a Dadant store just west of Milwaukee in Watertown that sells that line of equipment. There, you can check out the various options, also they are really nice and helpful and willing to answer questions. If you go this route, you can save a bundle in shipping charges. The Dadant store is open Monday through Friday 8:00 to 5:00 (closed at noon for lunch hour). Here is the store info: Dadant & Sons Inc 920-261-5363 W 2763 East Gate Drive Watertown, WI 53094-0331
pov hill thanks alot

found the panel at benartex, but can't seem to find a store near me that carried it, at least thru their store locator search.......boo-hoo.......how else can I find it????any ideas
I just googled A Cat For All Seasons panel and found it several places. Here is one.
It's at many on line stores. Just google "A Cat For All Seasons".
Well I agree this is a wonderful panel to receive!!! Me personally I would hand quilt with some "echo stitching", and thus foregoing the sewing machine. You would have more control and manuveriblity (sp.?) that way. I think with a nice thin "Warm & Natural" batting with a plain muslin back would make it a wonderful wallhanging. A couple of ideas that might put in it the "pro" column is:
1.) If hand quilting, you can take with you to appointments to work on as you wait.
2.) Handquilting is portable. I do lots of hand stitiching in the van as most everything is close to an hour away from me. Helped me finish 8 UFO's that way and hand piece some pre-cut tulips together for an queen size applique quilt.
3.) It will keep your lap warm during the winter as you work on it.
4.) You can work on it while watching Tv in the evenings. You would be surprised how much you can get done as you "listen" to the Tv and spending time with the family as you can take it to the room where everyone hangs out together.
5.) You get the extra satisfaction of doing it by hand. Hand Quilting is another skill to add to your "treasure chest" of "preservation" of an art form that is not seen as much as most like to long arm or machine sew their quilts. It won't matter how many stitches you start with in an inch just that they be close to even in length.
Well those are my thoughts.... hope they help you in your decision making.
I would use my walking foot to stitch all the frames to stabilize the sandwich. I would then FMQ inside the frames but if you are not confident to do that because the frames are done you could use your regular foot and stitch slowly around the shapes flipping the quilt around as you go.
Thanks again for the suggestions. I have never hand quilted. Not sure I am ready to try. Got to think about that. I had planned on stitching around the frames already. I know I can do that. I am not quite ready to experiment, but I am getting closer. I have about two more hours of work on the binding of my current quilt, then I will have to make some decisions. I may even wait until my sister gets back in town. She has been quilting for 15 years....I have only been quilting for about three. :)
Here's what I would do, I think. I'd outline stitch all the straight border/sashing looking parts and any other shapes that have enough long straight lines, and there's a lot of them. The other shapes you'll have to do with the darning foot. Feed dogs up will allow you more control when you do this and you can do it with practice. Then, I'd do a small stipple in the negative space around each motif which will make the cats and flower pots and flowers really pop. Good luck with it. Looks like a really fun project.
I would use basting spray on this one.
I have done a lot of panels and this on does not look to complicated. If you can slow your machine motor down it will work easily, if not you can practice going slow on some scrap first. Draw some gentle curves on some fabric and practice following them keeping the machine running slow. On some projects I even take one stitch at a time.
You will have to turn your quilt alot just take time and don't rush it. Be sure to have the needle down when turning corners or sharper angles.
One thing to make this an easier project is to not even try to outline every little thing on the quilt. Stick to the major parts that you want to high light. All those small leaves in the bowl of flowers don't need to be quilted, or those small white flowers or the bee. All the other parts look very do-able.
Take your time and have fun with it. It is a cool cat panel. I would like to do this one myself!
I no longer drop my feed dogs when I quilt on my domestic machine. Instead I loosen the pressure on the pressure foot so the material will move easily underneath the needle. I go very slow and it seems to work well for outlining. By not dropping the feed dogs, I have stitch regulation.
Question: What thread color would everyone use? varigated? shade of gray? change thread colors for various sections?

We are a network of community and government partners, working together to prevent elder abuse in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our vision is that:
Older persons will live in safe, caring communities where there is zero tolerance of abuse. This will be fostered by community awareness, protective legislation, and coordinated, responsive programs and services aimed at preventing abuse and providing a range of options for those who experience abuse and the individuals who support them.
To help achieve this, the NLNPEA strives to share information on elder abuse initiatives and resources in our province and to raise public awareness about this issue. We believe that by sharing information about what is happening in our province, we can more effectively identify gaps in elder abuse services, information, and research, and work collaboratively to address them. NLNPEA is an integral part of the Seniors Resource Centre of Newfoundland and Labrador's efforts to address elder abuse in our province. Membership in NLNPEA is free and open by registration to any individual or organization committed to ending elder abuse in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Ahmedabad, Oct 10 (IBNS) Lawyers of jailed self-styled godman Asaram Bau's son Narayan Sai on Thursday said he is not absconding.
"The lawyers of self-styled godman Asaram´s son Narayn Sai have released an advertisement in local newspapers in Gujarat claiming that their client is not absconding," reported CNN-IBN.
"In the ad they have claimed that Narayan Sai is innocent and that the case lodged against him is false. The ad published in Gujarati claims that Narayan Sai will seek legal recourse," said the news channel.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday summoned the Director General of Police (DGP) to get himself updated on the investigation into a sexual assault case against Asaram and Narayan Sai.
The Surat Police have issued summons to Narayan Sai, who, along with his father, has been accused in a case of sexual assault, reports said on Wednesday.
Narayan, who was last seen at Jaipur Ashram of Asaram, had gone into hiding after complaints of rape was filed by two sisters against him and Asaram on Sunday.
The Surat Police on Monday issued a lookout notice against Narayan Sai.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Police on Wednesday went to Jodhpur city of Rajasthan to take custody of Asaram Bapu in connection with a fresh case of sexual assault.
A Gandhinagar court had given a transfer warrant to the Gujarat Police to get his custody.
Earlier in the day, the Jodhpur Police said a former employee of Asaram has approached them and said he has crucial information about the godman´s activities.
The former attendant at Asaram´s ashram in Ahmedabad worked for him for 10 years from 1991.
Asaram on Tuesday moved Supreme Court to restrain the media from carrying out his own trials.
The matter was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, who asked him to file a proper petition.
The hearing for the case is on Oct 21.
According to his counsel, there were 10,000 boys and girls studying in the ashrams, and the media speculations were adversely affecting them.
Earlier, adding more woos to Asaram, a fresh case of sexual assault was registered against him and his son Narayan Sai.
The complaint was lodged by two sisters in Gujarat´s Surat city.
While the elder sister had alleged that she was raped by Asaram, the younger one had accused his son of committing the same crime in Surat.
They said that they are Asaram´s followers and the incidents reportedly took place between 2002 and 2004.
Asaram was sent to jail on Sept 2 after the court remanded him to a 14-day judicial custody first for assualting a minor.
Earlier, Asaram passed potency test, which established that he is medically fit and sexually potent.
The 15-year-old girl, who was staying at Asaram´s hostel in Rajasthan´s Jodhpur, had filed a First Information Report (FIR) at Kamla market police station in Delhi alleging she was sexually assaulted by the godman.

Discussion in 'Chevy Silverado Forum (GMC Sierra)' started by ChevyFan, Dec 25, 2006.
I like the blue backlight on the gauges :wink:
Looks better than my '04!
They've done a GREAT job on the new interiors. Like a luxury can from 10 years ago just about.
Looks good. My only question is "What's with the obnoxious badging lately?"
Ford has a Ford emblem on their trucks so big you could carry it into battle as a shield. (Ok, I'm exaggerating.)
Looks like that Chevy emblem is a little bit much for the steering wheel, IMO.
I guess I'm just a fan of subtlety.
Otherwise the interior has a great look. Very nice!!!
The new interiors are excellent. The new dashes are a definite improvement. I was kind of surprised though to see 2 different dashes. 1 is for the WT/1LT/2LT models and the other is for the LTZ models( woodgrain ). The 2 dashes have a few difference like a different location for the DIC buttons( left side on WT/LT's & right side on LTZ ), different height off floor, different radio mounting area, etc... I also was surprised to see that on the LTZ dash you lose the dual glovebox feature. There are some real differences between the two dashes used.
Seating is very comfortable. Both the power buckets and the 40/20/40 split bench. The interior on the new Crew Cab is HUGE! The backseat is like a living room. Definitely more room in the back of the new CC vs the previous body style. I am not so sure though that there is more leg room in the back on the new Extended Cabs though? Seems like there is less to me. Noticeably less actually. In my 05 EC I only have to move my seat forward a tad to let someone squeeze in behind me( with short legs of course :tongue: )but on the new EC I had to slide the seat so far forward to let that happen I had the steering wheel in my gut. Just seems like they took out a good 4-5" of rear seat room on the EC's despite what I believe they claimed was an increase in interior room? Maybe all at the front.
While technically not an "Interior" item this does have to do with access to the interior. The new 170 degree open rear doors for the Extended Cab are a GOD SEND! On my 05 EC to get in the back you obviously have to open the front door and then the rear. Well when you do that you get stuck in the dreaded "Extended Cab Triangle Of Death" If you do this in a parking lot you can't go anywhere without closing a door because you get trapped. Plus the rear door doesn't even open fully outward and instead is at an angle towards the front of the truck. That makes it very hard to access the rear seating/storage area(IMO anyway - 6' 4" and 300lbs ). On the new EC's the way the rear door opens all the way out to almost touching the bed just makes access so much easier. Has 3 stop points on the way to fully open but fully open is where it is at. Anyone who picks up a new EC is going to love that.
Another great feature is that the rear EC door windows are now fully powered. NO more camper pop out type windows that require you to stop, open the rear door, open the window, then close the door and get back in to drive again. Just a flick of the switch and down they come. This feature is long over due. The power sliding rear windows are nice but I would love to see a fully up/down rear window like Toyota has. Never mind just the center section being powered. Have the entire window go up and down. Still, like the rear door windows being powered, having the slider powered( option not standard equip )is great and lets you open or close it on the fly. This isn't new technology to GM trucks but it really works slick in the trucks I have checked out that have it. I will stick with the solid rear window because I have more use for the window defroster than I do a slider but for those who want a slider it is a great option.
My impressions so far based on the trucks I have looked at. Oh yeah, one other thing. Seems they have increased the front window size. You have a lot more viewing area and definitely the window is bigger. Just a much better view. I also found that you get a better feel for where the front and sides of the truck are now too.
here are a couple more pics

Q T Pi Fashions - Learning About Credit Card Use
Credit cards are convenient, user friendly, and at times dangerous. In this lesson students learn the joys and dangers of using credit as they help Credit, the main character in this activity, solve her credit problems.
Choice, Consumer Economics, Consumers, Credit, Decision Making, Incentive, Interest Rate, Money Management
- Define the relationship between credit and incentives, for buyers when purchasing goods and/or services.
- Define the relationship between interest and incentive, for borrowers when purchasing goods and/or services.
- Analyze the pros and cons of credit card use.
- Describe how finance charges effect the purchases of items.
Credit cards are convenient, user friendly, and at times dangerous. In this lesson students will learn the joys and dangers of using credit as they help Credita, the main character in this activity, solve her credit problems. Today's teens are frequently offered credit cards through the mail, and the temptation to "buy now--pay later" for instant gratification, may be quite compelling. This lesson illustrates how quickly credit card purchases can create a dangerous situation for buyers.
Special note: I used a female character in this example, but the lesson could just as easily be changed to feature a male character. He could run into difficulty using his credit card to purchase automobile accessories, sporting equipment, or concert tickets.
Student Credit Cards: Students will use the bankrate.com web site to complete the activities in the "Possible Interactions" section below.
Hows Your Credit?: Students can use this website to find their FICO score in the extension activity.
Loan Calculator: Students can calculate the real cost of their debt. Used in the extension activity.
Credit Card Calculator: Students can use this calculator to see how long it will take to pay off a given amount of debt. Used in the extension activity.
The True Cost of Paying The Minimum: Students can see how long it would take and how much they would pay in interest if they just pay the minimum payment. Used in the extension activity.
Q T Pi Fashions worksheet: Students will use the Q T Pi Fashions worksheet as a learning tool throughout this lesson.
Student Worksheet
Teacher Worksheet
Financial Fitness for Life Curriculum: For additional lessons on personal finance, students may use the National Council on Economic Education's new curriculum, "Financial Fitness for Life: Bringing Home the Gold - 9-12" and "Financial Fitness for Life: Shaping Up Your Financial Future - 6-8." Visit the National Council on Economic Education's web site at www.ncee.net and click on the special "Financial Fitness for Life" link. Information is available at this site for the purchase of "Financial Fitness" materials.
Tell the students they are going to learn about the joys and dangers involved in the use and misuse of credit cards. They are going to meet Credita who has just received a new card from her favorite clothing store.
Ask the students to define credit, finance charges, interest, credit limit, incentive and annual percentage rate (APR). Make sure the students have a good understanding of these terms.
Ask students: What incentive is there for credit card providers to provide credit (lend money) to credit card users? [Credit card providers receive interest from credit card users sometimes at high percentage rates. Credit card companies can also charge an annual fee for the use of their card, and they can also charge the businesses a percentage of the cost of the goods and services that they have provided.]
Distribute the handout, Q T Pi Fashions worksheet. Read or have the students read the introduction to the lesson.
Have the students work individually or in pairs to complete the first balance sheet and the answers to questions 1-4.
Use the Teachers Copy answer sheet in reviewing this section of the lesson
Then, assign the students, individually or in pairs, to complete the second balance sheet and questions 5-8.
- Use the Teachers Copy answer sheet in reviewing this section of the lesson.
A special Teachers Copy of the Q T Pi Fashions worksheet has been created and may be printed out for reference use and for answers to the Q T Pi Fashions handout.
For Computation purposes:
- All figures are rounded to the nearest 100.
- The 1.75% interest and finance rate has been rounded to a .018
Either the "Conclusion" activity or any of the bankrate.com activities (or both) could be used as possible evaluation activities.
Teachers could also create a scenario of a credit card situation and have the students complete the activity as they did in the Q T Pi Lesson.
Ask the students to write a letter to Credita given the following: If Credita asked you for advice about the smart use of credit, what would you tell her so that she could avoid the problems she encountered during her last credit card experience? Try to use as many of the new credit terms you learned in your letter.
Using the bankrate.com. web site within the Credit Cards page, students should find the best card for themselves. To do this they should go to the Student Card page and start looking for the best cards. Have the students select three cards they would consider. Have the students name and give the particulars of the cards, and explain why they would apply for these cards.

For additional lessons on personal finance, students may use the National Council on Economic Education's new curriculum, Financial Fitness for Life .
"Thank you for a well-thought out lesson. I will use it for a money management class designed for 7th and 8th graders."
"Good lesson! I found it to be challenging and very informative for my students."
"This looks really cool."
"Excellent lesson! I even used it for myself."
"It happens that I have a lot of free time, which I devote to my hobbies. I could be reading clauses or looking through photos for hours, but now I spend all my time on your site!"
"This looks awesome! I am going to try to tailor it to a 1-3 grade class."
"The lesson is great! I am not sure if it's me or if some of the numbers are off. In the Q T Pi Fashions lesson in June on the first table you have to figure out her payment because she has to pay 10% of her Balance and it is over her normal $100 payment. Looking at the answer key it looks like your 10% ($1108.95 x 10% = $110.90 not $110.93) is off by .03 and it is making the final answer of $998.02 for July off. Also, question #5, the very first payment looks like you have it as $110.16, which needed to be calculated again because it is over her $100 payment but 10% of $1015.98 is $101.60. So, if the first number is off that throws the entire questions off. If I am wrong about this please let me know if not could we possibly fix it? EconEdLink: We have fixed the numbers on both the student and teacher version. Thanks"
Review from EconEdReviews.org
Great Idea, but numbers incorrect.
"The lesson itself was great! It helped my students learn the real cost of using credit, but some of the numbers are incorrect. I used the lesson, but made my own worksheet."

Ontario Is Cheating Our Children

Our children are not being put first; they are being cheated. If we care about the public good, teachers must be respected and compensated fairly to attract the best and brightest. With the decimation of school board budgets, parents who can afford to do so may pull their kids out of the public system.

"This is my depressed stance. When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this."
"What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what kind of a person you are"
"Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary."
"The individual increasingly comes to know who he is through the stand he takes when he expresses his ideas, values, beliefs, and convictions, and through the declaration and ownership of his feelings"

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The United States' economy has been in a deep and prolonged recession since 2008 with unemployment greater than 9% over the entire time period. Further the structure of the U.S. economy has been shifting over time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between January of 2001 and January of 2014 employment in manufacturing declined by about 30% (from 17.1 million to 12.1 million). In contrast, the same source reports service sector jobs actually expanded 9.8% over this period, growing from 108.1 million to 118.7 million jobs. Minnesota and Wisconsin have lost manufacturing jobs somewhat more slowly (each is down about 25% over the January 2001 – January 2014 period) and gained service sector jobs at a rate comparable to or slightly below the national average.
The economies of counties in the St. Croix River valley have also suffered during the "Great Recession." Unemployment in the region has declined after peaking 2009, though it tends to be lower than the national average. Counties (Chisago and Polk) further from the Twin Cities have experienced a sharper economic downturn than those closer to the metro area. More than 4 out of 5 jobs in the St. Croix River valley counties are supplied by the private sector.

News Release Article from
Archived - Government of Canada Increasing the use of Direct Deposit: Security, Reliability and Efficiency
Archived Content

For immediate release
GATINEAU, Quebec, April 11, 2012 – The Government of Canada will increase the use of direct deposit by slowly phasing out federal government cheques by April 2016. Direct deposit is a secure, reliable and cost efficient way to deliver payments to Canadians.
This initiative is expected to save the Canadian government approximately $17.4M per year starting in 2014-15. The cost to produce a cheque is approximately 82¢ while a direct deposit payment costs about 13¢. Cheques will only be issued under exceptional circumstances, for example when Canadians do not have access to a financial institution because they live in a remote location.
"The Government of Canada is committed to using taxpayer dollars wisely," said the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women. "Increasing the use of direct deposit will contribute significant savings through the reduction in the use of paper and related cheque-printing and delivery costs."
The Receiver General issues over 300 million payments annually, of which close to 77% are already made by direct deposit. Citizens and businesses currently receiving Government of Canada cheques have the next four years to register to receive payments by direct deposit. Enrolment forms can be obtained from the Receiver General web site, or from federal departments responsible for the payment to be received by direct deposit. For any new payment, the first payment method offered will be direct deposit.
This government is modernizing the way we do business and saving taxpayer dollars. This initiative also supports the Government's efforts to achieve its targets as part of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy by reducing paper consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The character is Marie Lelay (Cécile De France), and you can't accuse her of being a wide-eyed believer. A famous French TV celebrity and the host of a news show called Window on Events, she's vacationing with her lubricious producer when suddenly the world turns into a scene from Deep Impact. A tsunami sweeps through the beach town, leveling her complacency about what matters in life. As darkness covers her over, she has a vision of — something. Alas, it looks very much like the conclusion of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
That's the trouble with death — the only thing we can compare it to is images from life. Or, barring that, images from other movies. Those of M. Night Shyamalan come to mind when Eastwood shifts to San Francisco to catch up with retired psychic George Lonegan (Matt Damon). George can see dead people, a talent that, he insists (to no one's surprise), is not a gift but a curse. You go out with a woman (Bryce Dallas Howard, late of Shyamalan's Lady in the Water), and no sooner do you touch her hands than there's a whoosh like a moment from TV's The Medium, and all the skeletons in her closet are revealed. Literally. Having intimate contact with the dead is no way to meet women.
Meanwhile, in London, young Marcus is having trouble coping with the loss of his identical twin, Jason (Frankie and George McLaren in both roles). This part of the film resembles an earlier Shyamalan movie, the pre–Sixth Sense, pre-hokum Wide Awake (1998), in which another little boy traumatized by the death of a loved one goes in search of the truth. In his search, however, Marcus has a distinct advantage: the internet.
Who needs God when there's Google? But these characters are united not just by a search engine, or even by our common fate, but by a hard-to-kill trend in filmmaking — the Babel effect. Hereafter's harshest critics have cited not its sentimentality but its Iñárritu-like contrivance. Eastwood comes close to that kind of fabrication, but I believe his movie's interweaving narrative and its evocation of synchronicity and epiphany are more inspired by Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Not to beat the comparison to death, but I saw Red from the start. True, Kieslowski's film climaxes with a disaster whereas Hereafter opens with one, and the ending of Hereafter pretty much succumbs to all the palaver and platitudes it has heretofore resisted. But Clint is a crafty director, with bits of subtle symbolism and mise-en-scène — the urn of Jason's ashes set next to an illuminated world globe, for example — that cut into the sweetness. He's been stalking death since the days of High PlainsDrifter (1973) and Pale Rider (1985), and he shows no signs of backing down now.

Our first main stop was for breakfast and we decided to honor our friend Chris Cutlip by stopping in Athens, OH - home of Ohio University. The last time I was there was during our college days, and, well, needless to say it was not the healthiest of times as far as the liver and chemicals went......but I digress
Breakfast was enjoyed at the Cross Street Diner in downtown Athens. We had a brief tour through town and got back onto 50 to continue on towards Cincinnati. Heather came through with some great video shots - the last one from Indian Hill Road which is only 5-10 miles from where Kurt lives. If this stretch of road doesn't force you into a motorcycle purchase, I do not know what will....
Kurt and Jen (and Della and Sampson) played hosts for our stay in Cinci - we had an ungodly amount of ribs for dinner followed by more ribs and other delicious sides (Mac & cheese, etc.). And, as you know, when in the company of pure genius (Kurt Bonigut), you need only to sit back and listen to his vision. This normally includes bouts of pure psychosis, rage, peace, and, eventually, focused chaos. We were not disappointed. I was able to take both Kurt and Jen for quick ride on the bike. I have a weight and height limit for a rider now - it is 265 lbs and 7'-18". Too much man for the back of the bike, although I think I got my front wheel off the ground shifting from first to second with Kurt on the back.
We are onto St. Louis in the morning.....
