Sharp cheddar and pureed winter squash create a thick and creamy sauce for this easy stove top mac and cheese. Kid-friendly, adult approved!
Cool weather, short days and sleepless nights have me craving comfort food (read: carbs) like never before. Of course, I'm also well aware that nothing saps or drains your energy like loading up on sugar or white bread.
In an attempt to find a happy medium, I created this easy and nutritious Stovetop Mac and Cheese with Winter Squash. By using whole wheat pasta as the base, I am adding protein and fiber that will keep me from crashing an hour later. For even more vitamins and nutrients, Winter squash is pureed into the cheese sauce creating a thick and hearty texture that sticks to every shell.
This dish freezes really well and also keeps for several days making it an ideal option for a quick and healthy lunch throughout the week.
Your fork is waiting.
- 1 pound whole wheat shells
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 12 ounces cooked winter squash puree thawed if frozen
- 1 3/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese low fat
Cook pasta in salty water according to package instructions reducing the cook time by 1 minute to ensure al dente pasta; set aside.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes whisking frequently.
Pour in milk, broth, dry mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to low. Whisk constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in winter squash and shredded cheese. Mix until melted, about 2-3 minutes. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
Add reserved shells to the pot and stir until noodles are evenly coated.
Serve immediately.

Detailed Description:
Chronic malnutrition evidenced by short height for age is a common nutritional problem in underdeveloped countries which is generally accompanied by iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency. It has many consequences on the adult including limited capacity to work and higher risk of obesity and chronic disease. The present study will offer a fortified food, culturally accepted and locally produced. The effectiveness of this fortified food compared to lactose-free milk, in a controlled dose and with no risk to the health of the study participants, will be determined. Both will be distributed for free to be consumed as an atole or in liquid form, respectively, at a community level in an environment controlled as much as possible. This will allow to determine adherence, acceptability, consumption and distribution within the family.

Baudelaire was better
A review of La Folie Baudelaire by roberto calasso, alastair mcewen
Educated at the same lyceé as Degas, attached to yet estranged from his domineering mother, stepson of an army general whom he despised, dependent on exiguous handouts from his financial guardian, humiliated by his cruel Haitian mistress, addicted to hashish and ravaged by syphilis, the brilliant Charles Baudelaire (1821–67) was abrasive and self-destructive. The photographer Félix Nadar—who took his portrait, with bulging forehead and flowing hair—described him as "a nervous, testy, irritable, and irritating young poet, often utterly unpleasant in private."
In his rambling series of vague aperçus—without any clear structure or argument—Roberto Calasso focuses on Baudelaire as an art critic, not as a poet, and discusses Ingres and Delacroix, Degas and Manet, as well as Rimbaud, Laforgue, Flaubert, and Proust. Calasso's erudition and style have been highly praised, yet this book shows the same obvious weaknesses and tedious mannerisms that also marred his work on Kafka.
He uses verbatim repetition when introducing a quote; lapses into ponderous vacuity: "a writer is he who inevitably reveals things . . . through the written word" and Sainte-Beuve has "a tightrope walker's ability to protect his own respectability;" indulges in far-fetched analogies: "For Baudelaire, the disappearance of the old place du Carrousel . . . is like the disappearance of Troy for Andromache;" makes incorrect assertions (from Gottfried Benn): " 'Snow' . . . offers little in the way of either linguistic or emotional ideas," though the chapter called "Snow" is the high point of The Magic Mountain; wanders into pointless digressions about Vedic seers explaining "the primacy of manas and vac;" and favors otiose obscurity: "Who is speaking here? . . . Damascius or Iamblichus? Is it an Egyptian theurgy?" As Byron said of Coleridge, "I wish he would explain his explanation."
Calasso begins to hit his stride when he drifts away from Baudelaire and offers sound readings of paintings by Degas and Manet. But, in a shaky start, Calasso is puzzled by the unreality of the mirror-like lake in Degas's Mlle. Fiocre in the Ballet "La Source," though the lake, painted on a theatrical stage, is deliberately unreal. As Merleau-Ponty once observed, a "mirror is the instrument of a universal magic that changes things into spectacles." Calasso misreads The Bellelli Family by asserting that "this painting develops around an empty space in the center," though the younger daughter, Giulia, sits exactly in the center; that the father "has no gaze," though he's seen in profile gazing at his children; and, misusing biographical information, that it's a "portrait of a family united by reciprocal aversions," though there's no evidence of hostility between Bellelli and his children.
Calasso is on firmer ground with The Misfortunes of the City of Orléans, a portrayal of sexual violence in the late Middle Ages, whose source Degas found in Jules Michelet's monumental Histoire de France (1844). Like Goya's Disasters of War, it portrays the tragic fate of civilian victims. The three horsemen have raped and murdered four women, whose corpses lie abandoned on the ground. The surviving women—naked, vulnerable, and about to be slain—are helpless and pitifully erotic. Calasso links Degas's woman bound to a tree to the heroine in Ingres's Angelica Saved by Ruggiero, but does not elaborate on this comparison.
In Ingres's painting, based on Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Ruggiero's frightened hippo-griff, rearing above a supine sea monster with outstretched claws, also seems to threaten Angelica. Its talons reach toward her head just as the monster's tail lunges toward her feet. Ruggiero plunges his lance down the creature's throat and through the teeth once destined for Angelica's flesh. In this horrific but erotically charged painting, Angelica—chained and naked, swooning and submissive—seems already half in love with her savior.
Calasso writes of Interior, Degas's most enigmatic and fascinating painting, "we can infer nothing certain regarding what has happened. All we can sense is something diseased and desperate. . . . Something sexual and unsaid has swept across the entire scene." But the details reveal a clearer meaning. The white undergarments of the half-dressed, disconsolate woman are exposed in the open traveling case and flung carelessly on the wooden floorboards. The domestic touches suggest that the fully dressed man, staring coldly at his victim, has paid for her room and violated her body. The mirror above the fireplace reflects both the man's cruel passion, now spent, and the psychological effects of the rape on the woman. The sexual violence is symbolized by the dancing fire, her red hair and his red beard, the red flowers on the wallpaper and lampshade, the red stripes in the rug, and by the gaping case with its pink lining garishly exposed by the lamp.
Baudelaire (in illuminating passages not quoted by Calasso) observed that Manet "has a definite taste for reality, modern reality—which is a good sign—a rich and lively, sensitive and audacious imagination." After Manet had been savaged by the critics, Baudelaire, writing to a friend they have in common, paradoxically admired the abuse and encouraged his stoicism: "When you see Manet, tell him this: that torment . . . that mockery, that insults, that injustice are excellent things, and that he should be ungrateful were he not thankful for injustice." Baudelaire—a connoisseur of condemnation—believed that the insults of fools merely confirmed his talent, that suffering spurred him on to greater effort, that meaningful victory could only be won after a hard struggle.
Calasso does not mine the rich ore of Manet's Olympia, whom he defines with negatives: "she is neither complacent nor complaisant; she is neither languid nor dreamy." Manet's masterpiece, celebrating a forbidding and threatening sexuality, and involving the spectator in its louche appeal, continued to provoke derision long after his death. Calasso notes in passing that "irony is concentrated only in the hump of the cat's back." But the cat, whose black fur contrasts with Olympia's white skin, is a witty and dramatic detail. While Olympia's glance is inviting, the cat, with hostile arched back, seems to be hissing at the client about to intrude in its domain. In French, as in English, synonyms for "cat" suggest the female sexual organ, and the large erect tail signals sexual promiscuity. Calasso does not mention that just as Baudelaire derived his portrayal of cats from his translation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat," so Manet also "Baudelairized" all his cats, taking them from "Le Chat" in Les Fleurs de Mal, where Baudelaire associates the cat with his enchanting and destructive black mistress.
Calasso could also have said much more about another elusive masterpiece, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, which connects to the title of his own book. The barmaid—dispensing bibulous pleasure but receiving none herself—has the disillusioned, world-weary expression of a sensitive and forlorn woman. Her steady gaze and black dress convey a deep sadness. The fashionable gentleman reflected in the mirror represents the barmaid's chance to escape from servitude into another, more luxurious, form of bondage. Manet was suffering from a fatal disease when he painted this picture. So it's possible to see the gentleman at the bar, approaching the barmaid from an unexpected angle and appearing in an unnaturally oblique reflection, as a figure of death.
Calasso convincingly stresses the painter Berthe Morisot's "profound infatuation" and "tormented love" for the married Manet, whose brother she eventually married. Obsessed with her striking beauty and magnetic presence, Manet expressed his love for her and revealed her feelings for him in a series of eleven stunning portraits. In Berthe Morisot with Hat, in Mourning her hair falls loose on her forehead, her eyes are troubled and the expressionistic slashes of paint on her face reinforce her sorrow and anguish. In Berthe Morisot with a Fan her refined, vibrant face is as lovely as ever, her expression intelligent and alert. Her left arm, with elegantly expressive fingers forming a circle and touching the tip of her decorated fan, is bent backward in response to something that startles her outside the frame of the picture.
Casting his net too wide, jumping from subject to subject and writing in a rather precious style, Calasso does not do full justice to the great writers and artists in this book.

Two-post freestanding pergola
4 Attachment(s)
I'm planning on building a two-post freestanding pergola in my back yard. I designed it myself with some input from my engineer father, and here are the basics:
Two 6x6 PT posts extending to 7'6" above ground, placed with 12'8" between them.
2 2x8x6' sideways beams, one at the top of each post
4 2x8x16' longway beams (the span between supports is 12'8")
16 2x2x6' rafters
2x4 angle braces at all the corners
I've attached a few pictures describing the design. Note that these are from a slightly out of date rendition -- the long beams will actually extend an extra six inches on each end than what's depicted here.
I guess my main questions are:
1. How deep do I need to sink my posts? I have 10' posts but I'm a little worried that I should have gotten 12', since I've seen some articles online saying the posts should be sunk 1/3 into the ground. With this current lumber they'll be 2'6" into the ground, which is 1/4 the total length (or 1/3 of the above-ground length). Is this sufficient? If it makes a difference, I live in the LA area and there's no danger of the ground freezing any more than occasional surface frost.
2. All my lumber other than the posts is heartwood redwood. Are my beams sufficiently big, or will 2x8s sag significantly over that distance? I'm planning on growing grapes on this, so there will be more weight to support beyond the weight of the wood.
3. Does anything else jump out as being weird or incorrect about my design?
I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this. Thanks!
I wont comment on the engineering part, except to say that if theres any question about 2x8s being too small then i'd go 2x10. I realize redwood isnt cheap, but should be a reasonably inexpensive upgrade.
As for the design itself, I'd like to see a longer cantilever at the ends. Maybe bring the posts in to 9' or 10'.
You have virtually no load on the roof, so any sag that occurs is a cosmetic issue, not a structural issue. I would not be concerned about it. As for the posts, a reasonable rule of thumb is 1/3 total length embedment where you want full lateral resistance in a reasonably strong soil (sand, gravel, well graded mix). You have 1/4 embedment, so there is some potential for sway, but this is a pergola, not a habitable structure, so I would not worry about it too much. Pack well draining soil (sand, gravel, crushed stone) around the posts, and you should be using ground contact rated PT, not the usual PT (which is not rated for ground contact).
as 12penny mentions, cantilever the ends more. are you planning to make the notch cut in the (2 2x8x6' sideways beams, one at the top of each post) or are you putting the notch into the long beams to set onto the sideways beams. the (2 2x8x6' sideways beams ) might need to be doubled up also.
I can't comment on the engineering but how about using steel instead of wood for the diagonal supports? It would be a smaller dimension than the 2x4 and if done properly would add some mixed material design elements. I don't have anything in mind particularly. Just thought I would throw it out there. Nothing wrong with the wood.
Pics when the project is complete. I would like to do something like this eventually.
Something I forgot to mention is that we plan to hang a hammock between the two posts. So it'll have a little bit of side-to-side force on it from the sway of the hammock, but mostly it'll be inward force on the posts, which I imagine won't be a problem.
As for the cantilevers, I agree. In my original design I had been trying to keep the boards down to 15', under the misapprehension that lumber could be gotten in single-foot increments, and trying to keep costs down (seems kinda silly when I think about it now). As I mentioned in my original post, the boards are actually 16 feet, so they'll stick out an extra 6 inches on each end, and I'll canti them for a greater distance as a result.
With only 2 posts, the embedment length of 2-8" is not enough. The hammock will add to the defection/movement. The top foot of soil or so does really not add much stability in the long term. Any deflection over time will loosen the post anchors.
With only 2 posts and little extra depth and wider holes for the concrete are dirt cheap end the end if you want to keep things in place.
In case anyone didn't see it, I posted an update here: http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/two-p...nished-176554/

I did this for a friend several years ago. She had a comforter that had lost it's puff. She wanted me to add more to it. First, had to unstitch everything, then add batting and resew it. It was a king size. I said I would NEVER do that again! More work than making a king sized quilt from scratch!
You are a great friend for doing this - glad you were rewarded with the digital camera. :)

Re: Why won't Horner[] work?
Paul, it seems to me that you forgot to upload the Algebra`Horner package
before using the Horner command.
If that is the case, then quit Mathematica (or just quit the Kernel), start
again and execute the commands in the proper order: first load the package
and then load the command:
Horner[Fit[ {{1, 200}, {200, 0}, {400, 200}}, {1, x, x^2}, x], x]

Very Catchy and Premium Domain - Good Luck With The Sale!
Nice name, has there ever been a website developed using it?
eightmotives - it has had a handful of articles on wordpress and, for a short time, minimal adsense ads. My plan was to build it into an authority site over time. But my interests are elsewhere and I never optimized it.
The articles are part of the deal for anyone interested. You could view them on google's cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:L_UXanfZPqwJ:bulbs.net/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Foolish probably, but I paid almost $11,000 for this domain when I bought it in 2011. I had big plans for it, but since then have moved away from .net to focus solely on the .coms I've optimized.
This domain would be perfect for a light bulbs (or even flower bulbs) e-commerce site.
why would anyone pay that for that domain, just curious
Maybe because they wanted to create a shop for bulbs? I mean different domains have different buyers, and i like this domain and believe it has a very high potential for being great name for a light bulb store, good luck with the sale!

Heku : Book 1 of the Heku Series HTML version
The feel of hands grabbing her out of bed forced a short scream, but a hand quickly covered her mouth.
"Quiet, Em." It was Kyle and he was already running with her in his arms, down an unlit stairway.
The frantic way he moved scared her. She thought back briefly to the past two weeks she'd spent mostly
in bed, and couldn't wrap her mind around what the problem was. Her coughing had stopped a few days
ago and she'd even managed to go out onto the balcony for a while the previous evening.
In the darkness, there were hurried voices and she realized they weren't alone.
"We don't know yet, just get her down there," a female voice said, inhumanly fast.
"Which direction?" Kyle hissed at the other woman.
"East, they have to come through the city to get here," she answered.
Emily was too frightened to speak, too afraid to ask the questions that were on her mind. Her eyes
furiously tried to adjust to the darkness, but failed.
The descent ended and they were all running through what felt like a damp tunnel. She realized that at
the speed the heku ran, they had to be hundreds of feet below the ground now and the panic swelled
Kyle finally put her down and gently led her to a chair, where she sat and curled up, wrapping her arms
tightly around her legs. Someone put a blanket over her shoulders and she shivered at how cold it was.
"Do we dare?" a strange man said.
"We should be ok down here," the woman replied.
"No," Kyle hissed, and nothing else was said about it.
"What's going on?" Emily finally managed to ask, and she could feel eyes on her, though she was unable
to see anything in the blackness.

Beach Beauty
Beach Beauty by kyle-kingsley featuring a Benefit cheek bronzer
I know, who wants to wear makeup at the beach? When we go to Martha's Vineyard there's always a chance you'll see someone famous, so I do take some time to primp but I try to keep it minimal. I really want to see Ted Danson. That would be the best thing ever.
To even out my skin and protect with SPF 25, I use Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25 PA++ ($34). If I get oily during the day, I blot with Boscia Blotting Linens ($10) instead of using powder. I have this sample sized Benefit Hoola that I take everywhere and adore. A good dusting of that. Brush on Tarte's Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse for waterproof brows that last all day. It's brilliant. I usually wear mascara all the time, but if I'm at the beach I know I'm going to have to rub my eyes at some point, so I skip the mascara and wear Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Shadow ($8) in pomegranate punk, a shimmery bronzy brown, to give my eyes more definition. Finally, a pretty pop of color for the mouth with Maybelline Baby Lips ($2.99) in pink punch.
I didn't include sunscreen and a clear lip balm with SPF but you should have those too.

The nickel plated Frontier Scouts came from the factory with the plain wood stocks (grips) as in your photo. The white or pearl grips were probably added later. These grips are still available and I see them offered for sale from time to time on eBay and GunBroker. They are reasonably priced and relatively common.
On the other hand, Colt made quite a few commemorative guns on the nickel Scout and some of them probably had white or pearl grips. If you can find a copy of Condry & Jones book on the Colt commemorative guns, it has photos of all the commemorative guns from about 1960 to 1986. Your father's gun may have been one of these.
(By the way, Colt never made any single action revolvers in stainless steel.)

Social Development Minister Paula Bennett often stands accused of taking a hard line on matters within her purview. Labour likes it that way, because it gives them room to attack. And National likes it that way because the punters out there who think beneficiaries get too easy a time of it generally applaud any clampdown on "bludgers".
In reality, often that "hard line" isn't all that hard but Bennett has proven a skilled tactician in making such policies look hard line at first blush, while simultaneously leaving plenty of wriggle room to blunt attacks from those who bother to delve beyond the headlines and into the body of the policies.
Unlike her welfare reforms, the reaction from other parties was cautious. Labour's Annette King issued a statement saying Labour believed by and large the measures outlined were worthwhile with some caveats. King refrained from rejecting even the most "hard line" of those proposals - those to more easily remove children from known child abusers, and a new Child Harm Protection Order to prevent people considered a risk to children from living, working or associating with children even if they are not convicted or had already served a full sentence for an offence.
Even Bennett has conceded that the second change is a potential can of worms when it comes to human rights issues. It bucks against core justice principles against double jeopardy - being punished twice for the same crime - and for someone to be proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt to be punished.
King raised concerns that such orders could be "potentially heavy-handed" and said Labour would need reassurances that they would be effective and not misused. Criticising National's so-called hard line on welfare is one thing for Labour. But no party which hopes to attract middle New Zealand can afford to be perceived as taking a soft line on child abuse. Even the Green Party was slightly hamstrung by this, so rather than criticise the proposals, it instead accused Bennett for ignoring another factor in child abuse in her reforms: that of child poverty.
It is therefore understandable Labour opted for constructive engagement and cautious support while leaving room to back away in the future.
Unfortunately, some of the caucus missed the memo. Clare Curran's first response was to say the announcement made it clear the National Party was in trouble and "rolling out Paula Bennett to divert us all with another punitive social engineering measure". By now word has probably reached her that she may well be voting for those same measures.
To be fair, it is almost a Pavlov's dog response to announcements by Bennett. So often, Bennett has flung up a policy or floated a controversial idea that has uncannily coincided with trouble for National in another quarter. So now it is almost compulsory for political onlookers to put up the periscopes to see what else is happening that Bennett might be a decoy for. In some of those cases, Bennett can justly be accused of being all sideshow and no top tent. There was the rather pie in the sky proposal of banning child abusers from having any children, which came to nothing.
But this week's announcement is not one of those cases. Bennett was at pains to emphasise the least attention-grabbing change proposal - that which would give the chief executives of five Government departments legislative responsibility for protecting vulnerable children - was among the most important. She pointed out that previously only Child, Youth and Family had those statutory responsibilities. Nor did she intend extra screening of employees who work with children to simply show the Government looked like it was doing something. Employers who do not follow the new screening and vetting processes face a $10,000 fine, and there is a $50,000 fine for any which employ someone on a register of convicted offenders who are barred from working near children.
Cabinet papers show Bennett had to return to Cabinet several times to get her policies signed off. The most controversial for those ministers were the Child Harm Protection Orders and the proposal for mandatory intensive and repeat screening of employees. The contention around mandatory screening was how widely it should apply. For the time being, it is restricted to government workers and staff of government-funded agencies who work with children. That will be reviewed in two years' time, leaving open the possibility it is extended to local government and the private sector.
When she announced the changes this week, she said it was the most important work she would do as a minister.
The "hard line" of her welfare reforms is seen as punitive for the vulnerable. But the "hard line" in the child abuse law changes is against two far less vulnerable targets: child abusers themselves and government departments which Bennett said had too often let children down by either ignoring or failing to take the necessary steps to protect them. Those are targets with which Labour cannot disagree.

Date of Stay: May, 2008
This is a very nice place, clean, ruin by good people with your interest at heart.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
We camped here long term for two seasons, then the owner decided we could not have our same space back for next season. The park manager was very abusive causing trouble with many residents who were afraid to call her out to the owner. We objected and she finally got the owner to make us mad enough that we refused to come back again. The park is dirty and not well cared for. We let them make extra money on our site by renting it out a second time [double dipping] during bike week and the Daytona 500 but they never even thanked us. If you stay here, just watch out for [a large lady], she will worm her way into your heart and then bite you like a snake when you aren't looking. She doesn't have a driver's license but she can tell you how how fast you are driving ... that is unless you have a motorbike with no muffler, then you can go as fast as you want.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
This is the nicest campground you[we] will ever see. Although the rates are high you won't complain because it is so great. The manager[s] two different ones, are very nice and they go out of their way to make sure you are happy. We camped here 11 days this year and it was great. Our second visit to Blue Water Key and won't be our last. The price per night was about $115 as I recall but we couldn't enter more than 3 digits in the listing query above. Convenient to Key West for daily fun.

Constructing a Small-Region DSGE Model

This paper constructs a tractable dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model of a regional economy that is considered small because it does not affect its national economy. To examine properties of our small-region DSGE model, we conduct several numerical simulations. Notably, fiscal expansion in our model is larger than that in standard DSGE models. This is because the increase in regional output does not raise interest rates, and this leads to the crowding-in effects of investment.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This report has been a long time coming and I think it is my duty to warn other people about this business in Mesa, Arizona called Callahan Automotive. The owner, Preston Callahan is a smooth talking con-artist. I brought my K5 Blazer there to have the stereo, alarm, light, and miscellaneous other small items done after I had finished building out the truck. Preston said yes to anything and everything I asked. I needed to get the cage powder coated and the outer exterior spray tanned. He said they can do that too. I said why not and gave him the job. The nightmare then began! How about over 3 months without a vehicle? Yes, he kept extending and extending the job time. [continued below]....

Callahan Crooks
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 23, 2015POSTED: Monday, February 23, 2015
The reply to the customer is typical of the scripts used by this deceptive dealership. They have been reported to the Office Attorney General, The Better Business Bureau, IC3 for White collar Crime, The channel 4 news. Yelp.com , FaceBook, Keller Chamber of Commerce. The crooks live in Flowermound and have other businesses and alias names. Check out what many others have experienced. They stole a single mother's savings. They tried to pawn a van off that never left the repair garage and many tows from day one. They refused to refund over $2,500.00 that they debited from my account and increased my note for repairs they knew would be there, including asking for more extortion and then they repossessed the so called van from their own garages to sell to an unknowing public. I would have never dreamed of the scams and this one above is just one more explaination true to the sharks that continue to lie. They will eventually be put out of business. I am certain!

Preston Callahan Collections NOTICE!
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 16, 2013POSTED: Monday, September 16, 2013
What's funny about this Preston Callahan is that he talks crap about people not paying their bills and sending them to collections when this dirt bag can't even pay his own bills. Take a look at this collection notice I attached. This guy is a typical con-artist scum bag that rips people off and then doesn't even pay his own bills. You're on blast punk!

Unfortunately, if anything was left out of my complaint, it was more negative work Callahan Automotive performed; AKA Preston Callahan. Normally, when you request work to be done by a REAL business you receive a quote. I had never received a quote for any additional monies other then what was originally agreed upon on the bill. I would have NEVER agreed to pay almost 11,000 dollars for the work or lack of work performed by this unprofessional scam artist of a business. The "added strength" he speaks about were the minor welding work (tabs for lights) they performed prior to removing my Pre made roll cage to send to powder coat (which has been peeling off since that day). You can see my roll cage that Callahan takes credit for here under "Mikes K5". Scroll down: https://www.facebook.com/stonesoupmetalworks/photos_stream
The 150 man hours spoken of were probably the OJT (On the Job Training) that was done on my truck by some 17yr old employee I noticed wiring my truck up; hence why it almost burned to the ground and I had to put it out with a fire extinguisher. Luckily nobody was injured else Callahan would have a little more explaining to do. I have plenty of pictures with myself building my K5 that Callahan seems to take credit for. I will post a few on this as well. They had issues spray painting my truck (which they charged me $90 an hr for), let alone building 85% of it as they claim.
Would you take your vehicle back to a place that ruined so much of it? Then slap you with a bill 4x times the agreed amount? For safety reasons, I would NEVER bring my vehicle back to this nightmare shop that took 4 MONTHS to finish. He used my vehicle as an open checkbook to fill the voids and lack of work in his business. This is why they took 4 months to utterly destroy my truck.
As far as my friends not having issues with the price, this guy has to be on drugs. I asked for basic work from this Callahan Automotive, and not only paid over 8,500 in good faith, FAR FAR more then I agreed on, but spent another $9,000 repairing and rebuilding what they ruined. This business is owned by a young, con-artist and I highly advise people to take their vehicles to a qualified dealer or repair station. This guy will fabricate a bill at the end of your work and then send you to a friend who owns a collection business to try to get it from you. (http://www.actionrecoveryonline.com/)
It is quite a comical comment about how he says everything was approved. We would not be having this conversation had I approved. And the talk of having lots of money is obviously fabricated like the rest of his stories. End of story!

#4 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Callahan Automotive will do what customer asks for
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 16, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, July 16, 2013
My name is Preston Callahan, I am the owner of Callahan Automotive. There is alot of information that was left out of Mr. Moreno's complaint. First of all, when working on a customers vehicle, especially a custom build vehicle that exceeds a basic repair on a particular componet the price on labor will very dramatically.
I recived numorous e-mails and noted from Mr. Moreno on what he wanted to be done on his truck. When we recieved his truck, other work was done by a fabrication company but he wanted us to stengthen and add supports to what already was done before powder coating. There was nothing that was done on the truck without his approval and/or request. We had more than 150 man hours in this project and he was only charged for only 62 hours of the time.
Customer was notified that hours may vary depending on what he wanted done, obviously more custom work and multiple changes to the original plan does cost more. It is impossible to estimate or have a set price on a job where 85 percent of the truck is getting built, painted, repaired, welded and installing tons of wiring for componets and equipment. Mr. Moreno never gave us a chance to repair or redo some issues that arose after the vehicle was done. When this ammount of work and custom componets are installed onto a vehicle there are sometimes some bugs have to be worked out or repaired. There were multiple e-mails to Mr. Moreno asking him to allow us to fix the issues that he had but never allowed us the chance to make it right.
With him still owing us over $3000.00 we did have to send him to collections due to him not settling on an alternate payment or a way to settle the issue. Now it has been almost 2 years since work has been done and we are not at fault of any questionable business practices. Again we did what the customer wanted and allow him to take his vehicle while still owing us money. He talks like he has lots of money and wants everything done to the extreme but when the moment comes to pay for all of these amazing ideas to make his vehicle one of a kind he doesnt have money and its too expensive.
We are still willing to settle with what is owed to us, but we are unable to make anything right without Mr. Moreno's willingnes to talk and to settle on something, or allowing us to fix the bugs. This was not a small little job, this project was complete disassembly of the truck, powder coating and painting and complete assembly with a mile of wires installed. When he came to pick up his truck with two of his friends he had no issues witht he price even his friends we amazed of the final outcome. So if price was an issue Mr. Moreno should of never been ok with everything and say he would bring by payments.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Program brings trucker to the classroom
TBI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping educate and mentor schoolchildren through a pen pal relationship. Drivers share news weekly about their travels with their assigned classroom and the students write back once a month. Through the correspondence, students have an opportunity to enhance their skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies and history.
Becker, a program participant since 2007, travels from coast to coast delivering and picking up all sorts of products and produce. He is currently assigned to Jenn Haugh's third-grade class at Conewago Township Elementary, where he sends weekly postcards about places of interest and trivia questions.
By following his routes, the students learned to read maps and used math skills to calculate distances between his points of destination.
The highlight of the program was when he came to their classroom after parking his truck cab in the school parking lot. After a brief meeting, the class went outside to explore Becker's cab to learn more about his home-away-from-home.Read More

West Virginia, like much of the rest of the nation, is on the brink of an elder housing crisis. With an ever aging population -- 20 percent of whom are expected to be over the age of 65 by 2025, according to Keren Wilson of the Jesse F. Richardson Foundation -- housing professionals are looking for ways beyond nursing homes or assisted living facilities to provide affordable senior living.
Henry Cisneros, former U.S. Housing and Urban Development secretary during the Clinton administration and now chairman of urban homebuilding organization CityView companies, said 2.8 million Americans turned 65 in 2011, which isn't at first a huge problem.
"People at 65 can live on their own. But at the higher end of that, when people get to their 85's, we've got some really, really big issues in this country," Cisneros said, as he addressed attendees of the first annual West Virginia Housing Conference on Wednesday at the Charleston Marriott hotel.
Dave Clark, conference committee chairman and past president of CommunityWorks in West Virginia -- a coalition of developers, public housing leaders and a variety of housing-focused organizers -- said the conference was meant to bring together a "cross-section" of housing organizations and service providers to address related issues in West Virginia. The conference will continue on Thursday and Friday.
"The housing world is just changing dramatically. Housing needs are changing dramatically. The funding and the financing tools are kind of all up in the air right now, so I think everybody recognizes that we need to be looking across sectors and that the silos we've been working in for the last decade, really, are no longer serving us well," Clark said.
Some of the major challenges cities and states all over the nation face are a senior housing boom, a lack of workforce housing and a significant increase in vacant and dilapidated housing. Clark said vacant and dilapidated structures in West Virginia have increased 30 percent over the last decade.
Housing authorities and nonprofits are also contending with a dwindling funding pool.
"Housing is taking a huge hit. We've seen dramatic cuts to a lot of the federal programs that we all use for housing development," Clark said.
Wilson, a West Virginia native who spoke in a session dedicated to national trends in housing for the elderly, said housing policy has failed in the United States.
"It has failed to produce enough affordable housing and falls further behind every year," Wilson said.
While Cisneros said a lack of senior housing would be a problem in the future, Wilson said it is "a now problem."
"All the data tells us that homelessness, inadequate housing and housing burden has significantly increased over the past decade," Wilson said. And federal programs that use medical models to provide needs-based services make it difficult for seniors who don't fall into certain categories to get access to housing and services.
"One of the fundamental issues in trying to figure out settings is what kind of impairments does this person have," Wilson said of placing a senior in appropriate housing.
The medical model "makes it really hard for us to deal with the issues of disabilities or frailties of aging people." Most people in their 90s can be frail "even when they're performing at peak," Wilson said.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities might not be right for every elderly person. And some might only be eligible for short-term facility coverage from programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Some might want to stay in their homes, but have home health visits.
Alternatives are popping up all over the country, though. Wilson outlined several senior housing trends that are being implemented, though "none of them is a silver bullet," and Wilson said she sees supported living as more challenging than independent living.
There are "green houses," which are assisted living homes that are associated with skilled nursing facilities. Twenty states have waivers that allow federal money to pay for such housing, but West Virginia is not one of them, Wilson said.
There are also "planned development units," which are small housing developments typically built for those 55 years of age and older. Another type of living called "villages without walls" consists of active seniors who have a cooperative living arrangement, where "they support one another and their needs."
Many of these housing solutions still allow for seniors to have access to services related to health and meal delivery, Wilson said.
But all these models are difficult for low income people to be part of. Wilson suggested implementing incentive programs that would put credit into someone's Social Security earnings if they were a service provider. She also promoted a community health approach to senior living that would "demedicalize" services, as well as creating health clubs that seniors could pay into. Those fees would eventually fund housing and necessary services.
"This is the time when we have to be inventive about these things. What we've been doing is not working," Wilson said.

Tamburlaine the Great, Part 1 HTML version
Enter BAJAZETH, the KINGS OF FEZ, MOROCCO, and ARGIER, with
others, in great pomp.
BAJAZETH. Great kings of Barbary, and my portly bassoes,[130]
We hear the Tartars and the eastern thieves,
Under the conduct of one Tamburlaine,
Presume a bickering with your emperor,
And think to rouse us from our dreadful siege
Of the famous Grecian Constantinople.
You know our army is invincible;
As many circumcised Turks we have,
And warlike bands of Christians renied,[131]
As hath the ocean or the Terrene[132] sea
Small drops of water when the moon begins
To join in one her semicircled horns:
Yet would we not be brav'd with foreign power,
Nor raise our siege before the Grecians yield,
Or breathless lie before the city-walls.
KING OF FEZ. Renowmed[133] emperor and mighty general,
What, if you sent the bassoes of your guard
To charge him to remain in Asia,
Or else to threaten death and deadly arms
As from the mouth of mighty Bajazeth?
BAJAZETH. Hie thee, my basso,[134] fast to Persia;
Tell him thy lord, the Turkish emperor,
Dread lord of Afric, Europe, and Asia,
Great king and conqueror of Graecia,
The ocean, Terrene, and the Coal-black sea,
The high and highest monarch of the world,
Wills and commands, (for say not I entreat,)
Not[135] once to set his foot in[136] Africa,
Or spread[137] his colours in Graecia,
Lest he incur the fury of my wrath:
Tell him I am content to take a truce,
Because I hear he bears a valiant mind:
But if, presuming on his silly power,
He be so mad to manage arms with me,
Then stay thou with him,--say, I bid thee so;
And if, before the sun have measur'd heaven[138]

Saturday, August 7, 1999 Published at 11:43 GMT 12:43 UK
World: Asia-Pacific
Korea escapes typhoon
Hundreds of soldiers have been ordered to assist the clean up
As much of South-East Asia braces itself for more heavy rain, forecasters in South Korea have lifted a weekend typhoon warning.
"Paul ended its life as a typhoon after it degenerated into a tropical depression some 150km (95 miles) south of Seoguipo [on the southern island of Cheju]," the meteorological office said.
It now seems that it may miss the peninsula entirely causing many Koreans to breathe a sigh of relief. Cheju however is still expected to receive heavy rains over the weekend and the main port on the island remains closed.
It is thought Paul could now hit China, which has also suffered from severe flooding.
Explosives threat
As Koreans begin to clear up after the floods, they are being warned of the danger posed by landmines and other explosives dislodged by floodwaters from the heavily-fortified border zone between North and South Korea.
The South and its ally, the US, are thought to have placed about one million landmines and anti-tank explosives along the border.
Artillery shells and more than 7,000 other pieces of ammunition have been swept away defence ministry officials say.
Hopes fade
Rescue teams digging through a housing estate that collapsed on Tuesday just outside the capital, Manila, say they have all but given up hope of finding any more survivors.
On Saturday five more bodies were recovered but no other survivors, apart from a dog, have been pulled from the wreckage.
More than half of the 500 houses in the Cherry Hills housing estate were destroyed in the landslide.
As rescue workers continue to sift through the rubble, survivors have been telling of their close escape from danger.
Survivor's story
She said the movements had jammed the doors of some homes forcing residents to cut through metal window grills to escape.
"When I got out of the house I grabbed my child and had not even taken five steps before my house collapsed behind me," Mr Horta said. "The ground under me heaved and lifted us up ... It was like a dream."
Meanwhile, in Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered emergency stockpiles of rice and medicine to be prepared in case the already swollen Mekong river bursts its banks.
Officials say four children have were killed in flash flood on Friday and many villagers have been forced onto the roofs of their homes to escape the rising waters.

Thunder fan here, happy with how we played without Russ, Memphis is just ultra tough and made a few more plays last night. I honestly think every game this series will be a dog fight with the score in the 90's.
Nate Robinson sure has made himself some money this offseason, cant help but root for Chicago, so short handed but so sound and tough
Love watching Golden State, i think they are gonna give the Spurs everything they can handle
Knicks and Pacers i think is gonna be interesting going forward, like the Pacers in 6 or 7

Erin and Grant's Wedding
"The nice thing about this vendor is you can purchase a small package. We only wanted 3 hours of photography- just to capture the ceremony and a few candid/pretty shots. A much cheaper option. You do get EVERY shot taken (no editing), but you also own the image rights. Our shots came out really well, very happy with the vendor."
Kelly and Jonathan's Wedding
"While the photographers seemed to be everywhere at once, the pictures of the bride and groom and wedding party after the ceremony were very rushed. We did not get a lot of the pictures I would have liked. Also, the pictures we received were not edited and the exposure and lighting were terrible. I have to find photo editing software to try and fix some of them."

Women's Hoops Drop Final Home Game of Season 68-65
Mar. 1, 1998
LOS ANGELES- In their final home game of the season, USC lost an 11-point lead in the second half and fell to Washington State 68-65 at the Lyon Center.
Guard Kristin Clark scored 18 points and center Adrain Williams added 16 for the Women of Troy (11-14 6-10).
SC harrassed the Cougars into 26 turnovers and only 38-percent shooting in the first half. But leading 50-39 with 12:00 remaining in the game, the Trojans became careless. WSU went on a 17-2 run to take the lead 56-52 and never trail again.
Despite the poor play, USC could have forced overtime but a Clark three-point attempt with :04 remaining missed the mark. Cougar (12-14 6-11) center Yvonne Kunze scored a game-high 20 points.
The Women of Troy travel to Arizona Thursday and ASU Saturday to conclude the 1997-98 campaign.Quotes:
USC Coach Chris Gobrecht- "There's not much to say about that one. It was not a very intelligent effort on our part. Washington State did a great job of keeping their poise. We shot ourselves in the foot."
USC Guard Kristin Clark- "We got down defensively and it killed us. We forgot how we got there (in the lead). This game hurts us really bad because we had an opportunity to win and we let down. This could have been our first sweep (SC beat Washington Friday) and we let it get away."

Talking with Your Doctor
Frequently Asked Questions
16. Why might a doctor want to do a medical test?
There are different reasons why you may need a medical test. Sometimes a doctor does a test, such as taking your blood or giving you an x-ray, to find out what is wrong or to learn more about your health condition. Some tests, like cancer screenings, are done regularly to check for hidden medical problems.

Some of Texas' most popular white-sand beaches and clearest surf thrill visitors who make it all the way down to South Padre Island, one of the nation's southernmost tourist draws. This barrier island is particularly well known for its young Spring Break crowds peaking in March, but the emerald and aquamarine-hued beach waters also lure families and RVers year-round, particularly "snow bird" retirees in winter. Thirty-four miles long and a half-mile wide along the Gulf of Mexico, South Padre Island is a key destination for birders who flock to see herons, egrets and Yellow-billed Loons, to name a few of the area's more than 300 bird species during spring and fall migrations.
Most of South Padre's hotels, resorts, restaurants and lively bars lie within the city limits — a crisscross of streets ringed by beaches on the gulf side and by wetlands along Laguna Madre Bay. City beach access is off Gulf Boulevard, with small parking lots accommodating 10 to 20 vehicles at most of the 25 or so access streets. Parking is free but can be difficult to find during the peak seasons — made even more difficult with the city recently posting parking restrictions along Gulf Boulevard. An excellent alternative to the parking issue is the convenient and free WAVE shuttle service, where pedestrians can wave down small buses to get a ride. Catching a ride is worth it — holiday weekend and peak season traffic can back up for miles on the Queen Isabella Causeway from Port Isabel.
Isla Blanca Park, with more than a mile of white-sand beaches, sits at the island's southernmost tip in Cameron County, outside the city limits. Isla Blanca also has picnic and playground areas, cabanas for rent, a marina with fishing charters and 600 RV spaces. On the island's northern edge, family-friendly Andy Bowie County Park features beachfront picnic pavilions, a children's playground, concession stands and shower/restroom facilities. Just a mile to the north is Edwin K. Atwood County Park, also with beachfront picnic pavilions and concessions, and with a vehicular beach access road to explore 20 miles of shoreline along secluded beaches. Daily parking rates run $4 for most vehicles at Cameron County Parks.
In January and February, events kick up for the so-called "Winter Texans" — mostly retirees and seniors who escape colder northern climates. They stay in hotels, resorts and condos, and area beaches and parks offer hundreds of RV hookup spots for those traveling in motorhomes. Activities catering to this group include festivals, concerts, plays and more.

Guns Off Street = Money For You
Police want to get guns off of Rockaway streets and are offering cash incentives if you help them.
Turn in your unloaded handgun or assault weapon through the "Cash for Guns" program and get $100 ($50. for shotguns). No questions asked. Give police anonymous information leading to the arrest of anyone possessing an illegal handgun through "GunStoppers," and you'll receive a $1,000 reward.
"If we get the guns off the streets there is less of a chance somebody will get hurt," said 101 Precinct Commanding Officer Captain Walt er Salowski. Both programs have helped recover more than 100 potentially dangerous weapons in that precinct alone.
Weapons are accepted at any police precinct, including the 101 Prec inct, at 16-12 Mott Avenue, the 100 Precinct, 92-24 Rockaway Beach Boulevard and at the Transit District 23. There is no limit to the amount of weapons you may turn in, but there is a $300 maximum payout for the "Cash for Guns" program. Call the precinct to make arrangements ahead of time.
Call 1-866-GUN-STOP to report an illegal handgun. Callers don't have to give their names.

i am currently carrying an xd subcompact 9mm and i am looking for something that is a little nicer to carry everyday. kahr pistols appeal to me because they are so thin, light and they seem to have a reputation for being very well made. i would really like to hear everyones opinion on the pro's and con's of these 3 models (CW9, P9, PM9) I am under the impression that the CW9 is the same as the P9 except that is has some cheaper componets such as sights, barrel,guide spring and it only comes with one mag. Does anyone have experience with the regular rifled barrel in the CW vs the Polygonal barrel in the P models??? Please help me make some decisions thank you!!!
Also, can anyone give me any info on the P9 Covert? I have heard about this model but it doesnt seem to be on there web site.

Olivier Giroud believes Arsenal's game at Newcastle on Sunday will be one of the biggest tests they face this season.
The Magpies are unbeaten in their last four games and sit just three points off fourth place in the Premier League after trashing Stoke City 5-1 on Boxing Day.
Newcastle have 10 French players in their squad and Giroud is looking forward to facing a number of his international team-mates.
We are really confident but Newcastle is a really good team so it will be a tough gameOlivier Giroud
"It's normally Arsenal where you could find a lot of French guys," Giroud said. "It's now Newcastle but I think we have to be cautious with this team because they are on a good run and they did really well in their last game.
"It will be a great feeling to see them and I think we have a good chance to win this game but we really want to finish first. We are really confident but Newcastle is a really good team so it will be a tough game."
Giroud came on as a late substitute in Arsenal's nerve-jangling final-day win at St. James' Park which secured a top-four finish. The French striker admits he found it hard to watch from the sidelines.
"I couldn't stay sitting down," he said. "Laurent [Koscielny] relieved us and he did really well. After it was like a true celebration, a true relief and we were really happy to reach the Champions League. It was a good memory but it's always a tough game when you play at St. James' Park so we look forward for this game."
