SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CITY, La. — At the Bassmaster Classic, mention the name Chase Heaton, and the person you're talking to is likely to tell you they know, or they've met, or they've heard about, this remarkable young man from Spokane, Wash.
Eighteen years old, tall and wearing a tournament jersey and Triton cap, Heaton looks like many other young men attending the Classic. He is, but then again, he isn't. Diagnosed in October with stage 2B Hodgkin's lymphoma, Heaton is fighting cancer. He's been through nine of 12 to 16 chemotherapy treatments, one every two weeks. He was between treatments when he traveled to Louisiana to experience the Classic for the first time.
One thing that makes people remember meeting Heaton is his positive attitude. He has refused to let cancer scare him, and he is a quiet fighter. He's only partially through treatment, but his latest tests show that 90 percent of the cancer is gone.
"It's what they expected, so it's good news," he said.
The other thing about Heaton that strikes people is his passion for bass fishing. He's the 2010 and 2011 Washington state champion in the Junior Bassmaster program. He runs a Triton-Mercury rig wrapped by sponsor Nixon's Marine. When he's not in school, he works for the Northwest Bass circuit of tournaments — and in the fishing department of a major outdoor retailer. He's an honor student, on track to graduate this spring and attend college in the fall.
Heaton got to the Classic thanks to the help of many friends and strangers. At home in Washington, his desire to see a Classic in person got out among B.A.S.S. Federation Nation members and snowballed from there. Then Gary Stiles of Northwest Bass sent out an email with a request for support of "Chasing the Cure" that went viral within the fishing community. Soon the Heatons were receiving donations from across the country from people they did not even know.
When B.A.S.S. offered Heaton the red-carpet treatment, Heaton's dream trip got even closer to reality.
"We got an email from B.A.S.S. that said, 'You get him here, we'll take care of him from there,'" said Chase's father, who made the trip with his son.
"The response was so amazing, we don't even know how many people sent us contributions, but we know many were from people we've never met," said Chase. "For instance, Chris Lambert of Wave Away Products started a raffle that turned nationwide. The list is long — I wish I could name every person who donated a check to me."
From the time he first tossed lures off a dock as a small kid, Heaton has wished he could attend the Classic. His expectations are being met.
"I love seeing and meeting the people here, the friendliness of them, the fact that it is the place to be if you are a bass fisherman — all those reasons and more are why I love being here," he said.
Some day he wants to be a competitor. Meanwhile, he's got two missions: Beat the cancer, and help people realize that cancer should not be feared, that it can be cured.
"If you keep a positive attitude, that's how you beat it," he said.

Marquette Community Federal Credit Union´s history begins in 1952 at the Marquette Branch Prison. Local 684 of the Michigan Corrections Officers Association were granted a charter from the National Credit Union Administration to provide savings and loan services to the employees of the Marquette Branch Prison. The name was simple, Marquette Branch Prison Employees Federal Credit Union. Thirty-five correction officers attended the organizational meeting and selected George Somers as Board President and Cesar Urbanski and Wes Kumpula as Co-Treasurers. Credit union offices and hours of operation were quite flexible for the first several years, being run from whatever location the Treasurers occupied!
The first permanent office consisted of 160 square feet of rented space in a building located at 420 North Third Street. The rent was $30.00 per month. At that time Wes Kumpula became a full time credit union employee as Treasurer/Manager - - a post he held until his retirement in 1985.
January 1960 saw the first of several additions to the range of our charter. In that month, we expanded our membership eligibility to include all public employees in Marquette County and changed our name to Public Employees Federal Credit Union. Subsequent changes to our charter included a merger with the Marquette Co-op credit union in 1972, the absorption of the LS&I Railroad Credit Union and the Bunny Bread Employees Credit Union several years later, and lastly a change to our current community based charter in July 1978. The final charter change led to another name change. From February 1980 to May 1998 we were known as Marquette First Federal Credit Union. During this period we also acquired our first owned office space. The credit union building was erected at 827 North Third Street and consisted of approximately 2300 square feet. We remained there until June 1998, when we moved to our present location at 1230 West Washington Street. Once again we changed our name, this time to Marquette Community Federal Credit Union. In June 2003, we expanded our field of membership to include all of Marquette County. As the credit union's footprint continued to expand, the office space requirement grew also. In the summer of 2008, the credit union had a study conducted to help determine what would be the best solution for expansion. The study considered both expanding the current location or adding a second location. Following the recommendations of the study, in December of 2009 the credit union added its first branch office located on the corner of US-41 and M-28 in Harvey.
Over the years, through several charter and name changes, we grew to avail ourselves to a greater diversity of potential members. We have never lost sight of the reason those original thirty-five prison guards applied for a credit union charter; to establish a member owned financial institution dedicated to service our members/owners. Though we have grown from those few employees with a vision, our commitment to member service remains paramount. Our present field of membership includes residents of the Marquette County as well as anyone working, worshiping, volunteering, or going to school in the county.
The mission of your credit union is to foster the financial foundation of our members by providing programs and services that will enhance their ability to successfully meet the demands of today's marketplace in a manner unique to any other available. The uniqueness shall be accomplished through unmatched service and world-class courtesy.
Shared Ownership... As a member of Marquette Community Federal Credit Union, you own a "SHARE" in your Credit Union. You vote for your Board of Directors. And, you share in the success of your organization. As a non-profit organization, all Credit Union earnings are returned to members in the form of dividends or other benefits after expenses and legal reserves.
Strong Common Bond... Your Credit Union is a cooperative. Our field of membership includes all people working or living in Marquette County and their immediate families. These are people you work and live near. Friends who share your interest in making the Credit Union their primary financial center.
Brighten Your Future... As an active saver at your Credit Union, you help yourself, your neighbors and co-workers to a future bright with possibilities. When you save, those dollars form a reserve from which you and other members can draw upon when the need arises. That idea of people helping people builds the cooperative spirit that is your credit union. Help yourself and your fellow members to a brighter future... get the savings habit.

Spotlights the challenges and opportunities that impact the application of foodservice equipment and supplies in the real world including green and energy efficiency concerns, foodservice equipment concerns, the impact of technology on foodservice, and the state of the foodservice economy.
Today's innovative healthcare foodservice providers tend to be masters of multiple disciplines. Their business models often range from retail to catering to patient foodservice, with a few grab-and-go options tossed in for good measure.
A small linear retail location barely met the needs of visitors and staff at Aurora Medical Center Kenosha for many years. But an ever-expanding outpatient population paired with the hospital's expansion to 73 inpatient beds eventually rendered the existing space insufficient.
As the U.S. population ages, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. A key component at these CCRCs is foodservice, which also continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the burgeoning segment.
Elevating pizza to a new level of popularity at Rex Healthcare took a lot of work, but the end result continues to exceed expectations.
A rapidly evolving healthcare environment has led to a number of organizations aligning with one another. This can impact the population these healthcare foodservice operators need to serve as well as how they provide food and nutrition services. Such was the case with the 72-bed Syosset Hospital when it took on a 32-bed orthopedic program from another hospital in February of 2014.
This has been quite the year for Dan Henroid, MS, RD, director of Nutrition and Food Services (NFS), and sustainability officer for UCSF Medical Center, and his staff. They've had a major operational expansion and made gargantuan adjustments to their services.
The continuing popularity of fast-casual concepts keeps drawing the attention of some of the fine-dining segment's biggest names. But designing and equipping a fast-casual restaurant can differ greatly from developing a fine-dining concept, as one design consultant and chef point out.
Commercial kitchens can easily run in the tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. With that sort of outlay, operators spend long hours working with design consultants and dealers to specify equipment that best fits their budget and their needs.
Seems as if every foodservice design project today operates on a fast track. So how can design teams accomplish what used to take years in a matter of months? One seasoned foodservice consultant suggests a variety of steps including leveraging technology, improving communication and going back to the basics.
While much of the focus today centers on healthy eating for consumers, protecting foodservice workers' health should be an important consideration for operators across all industry segments.
Planned maintenance. Preventative maintenance. To many foodservice operators, the two are one and the same. But to foodservice equipment repair agencies, the phrases have very different meanings that should matter to those who run a kitchen.

For those of you who have more than 1 child, was it easier going from 0-1 or 1-2? And why, if you feel like sharing.
Also, how far apart in age are they? Do you like the age gap?
Subbing because I think this is an interesting topic :) I just have one high needs 7 month old and going from 0-1 has been more difficult than I had anticipated!
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
Going from 0-1 was blissful for us. We were in our 30's and very ready. She was an easy baby. It was wonderful. We would just sit around and look at her and smile.
Going from 1-2 was a nightmare. They are only 19 months apart, and DD#2 screamed for most of the first year of her life. And we had a ton of other stresses -- everything from DD#1 having developmental issues to my father in law dying of cancer to moving cross country for my DH's job. It was a very rough year.
If DD#2 had been born first, it would have been the other way around. (Except that we might have stopped with just one child)
but everything has pros and cons
None of it's easy, in my opinion. My girls are 22 mos apart. Same as my brother and I. Really I should have noticed that my mother went nuts and taken that as an indication of how it may go for me... Oh well. Happy they're mine.
Both weren't exactly pleasant. DD1 spent her entire first year screaming her head off. DD2 ended up getting severely ill as a newborn and I spent most of her first year ignoring DD1 while trying to handle of all DD2's medical needs. You just never know how things will turn out, never thought those would be my experiences. Than goodness they were almost 4 years apart or else 1-2 would of been worse then it already was.
I have 3 kids, a 5 year old, 2.5 year old, and a 7.5 month old.
For ME, going from 0 to 1 was the most "shocking", I really wanted to be a mom but the reality of taking care of another human being 24/7 when I only had to take care of myself was hard. Once my 1st was an older baby it got a lot easier.
When I had my second, my first was almost 3. That spacing was a lot easier then when I had my 3rd. My 2nd child was 23 months when I had #3 and it's been hectic to say the least!!! The thing is, you get used to the chaos lol. Or as I like to call it "controlled chaos". This question is interesting b/c I've been asking the same thing about going from 3 to 4 haha (not PG yet, just curious!)
I will say this though... having 2 is more fun than 1, and having 3 is more fun than 2. A lot of work, hell yeah. But worth it.
Mommy to beauties DS1 (7), DS2 (4, autism), & DS3 (2)
and many angel babies
Just like LindaOnTheMove, we had #2 pretty close to the first one. They are 17 months apart. #2 was also fussy and needy and both kids were nursing through the night for months after the second was born, so I wasn't exactly on top of my game. It was hard. DH and I nearly divorced, it was such a mess.
Then, nearly four years and some therapy later, we had #3 and it's been like a honeymoon for the whole family. Both big boys were old enough to be really interested in the baby, both are big helpers, especially my sunshiny boy #1, and we as parents are just pretty darn relaxed. We're holding on to every moment of babyhood for this one! He's nearly two.
We also used to joke that if #2 were a firstborn he'd be an only. Now I think I want a fourth! Just need to convince DH, who loves having three and wants to stop on a positive note.
I also think in particular the adjustment to #1 really depends on the parents. I was a nanny for 10 years before I had my first and I think that helped because I was pretty prepared......even though having your own is totally different than nannying. At least I wasn't freaked out about diapering and holding a newborn and snuffly breathing. And I knew what 'stuff' I wanted and could live without.
This thread is only slightly depressing ; )
Going from 0-1 was a huge shocker for me. DD was a high needs baby, but I was also such a new mom (checking to make sure she was breathing 498x a night..) and just generally driving myself insane with the "am I doing this right" thoughts. But once she was out of baby-hood it was easier and we had another when she was juuust about to turn 3. Baby 2 was a breeze! He's an "easy baby" (although he's almost 15 months now..) and the spacing was perfect. DD plays with him, and was interested with very little/if any jealousy. And as a second-time-around momma I was much, much more relaxed. It was a better experience!
0-1 was a shock and a half. ds was incredibly high needs and his first year was way, way harder than I'd expected.
1-2 was a breeze. They're 27mo apart and the gap works well for us, though I'd now say it's a *minimum* gap. ds was a lot more mature at 27mo than most other kids his age (I now realize), so that helped. dd was a super easy baby and I was 500% more confident and prepared, so...
Contemplating 2-3 right now...
Sarah ~ ds X 12/05 ~ dd E 3/08 ~ 7/12
0-1 was definently more challenging for me.
It's funny that you guys are talking about this...I just logged on to post about what a rough time I'm having with these two kids.
I'm going to say that 1-2 is waaaaay harder for me. I have two boys. 3 1/2 years and 9 weeks.
I thought my older son was a pretty easy baby. But he turned into a high needs toddler/preschooler. He was, is, and always has been REALLY clingy to me. Which is generally my biggest challenge with him. But as an infant, I was fine with it. Babies are small and light, so it's not hard to carry them around 24/7. But a 34 lb three year old? Phew! He always had a hard time sleeping, too. But back then, I had the time and patience to work with him on it. He's got a lot of anxiety, which I think is genetic from both sides of our family. But in general, none of this stuff was hard for me to help him with.
That is until #2 was born. Then all of a sudden, I felt like my older son wasn't my baby anymore. I had a new baby that actually NEEDED me to carry him. I feel guilty, but I'm completely frustrated with my older son's lack of independence. I know he's going through an emotional time right now (new baby, new house, new school) but I don't feel the same way I did when he was my only child. I am ready for him to learn a little independence, and he is just backpedaling. I can't even leave the room to pee with out him wanting to come with me. I thought we were past that a year and a half ago. We need to find balance.
Meanwhile, my baby #2 is easier than I knew babies could be. He goes with the flow. He doesn't cry much. He smiles a lot. He nurses well. For goodness sake, he only poops once every two days. I'm having a hard time as a mom of 2. If he were as needy as my three year old, I'd be tearing my hair out. I hope continues to be chill! But I also hope that his brother doesn't always steal the stage from him.
Maybe it's just me being easily stressed out. But goodness, I hope this two-kid thing gets easier!
I have three kids. The first two are 27 months apart, and my second and third are 26 months apart. I very strongly feel that going from 0-1 was by far more difficult than adding an extra child, either time. The actual transition into a parent was very hard for me, and I laugh all the time about how horrible I thought it was to have to dress one child and take her places. I remember how much of a chore it seemed at the time, but it is NOTHING compared to having to get three ready to go on the same excursion. Somehow though, it just seemed to get easier with my second. Two to three was a little hard, but mostly because ds was incredibly high needs, and never transitioned well into or out of anything.
They are 11, 9 and 7 now. Believe me when I tell you, life is so easy now. :)
Certified Crazy™ Wife to my Spiderman husband (Aug '01)
Super proud Momma to DD (Jan'00), DD (Apr '02) and DS (Jun '04)
Always loving and missing our Baby James born sleeping at 19 weeks (July '03).
Going from 0 to 1 was tough, but not that bad because it was mostly exciting and fun doing everything for the first time :)
Going from 1 to 2 was very rough. I felt bad that my first child (2.5yo) had to share me, when he was so used to being with just me every day. I felt bad that the baby had to spend more time in the bouncy seat than his brother ever did. I felt awful when one of them would need me and have to wait.... It felt like a huge adjustment, leaving the house, etc.... The first 6 months or so were kind of a blur and I was very stressed.
Going from 2 to 3 is much easier! My #3 is only a few weeks old, but this time has seemed SO much easier. I think it helps that #1 and #2 have each other, and can play and help each other out while I am tending to the baby. Also I think I am much more relaxed now and that seems to have rubbed off on everybody else :)

CONCERT SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 7:00pm
PITTSBURGH MENNONITE CHURCH, 2018 S. Braddock Avenue
The Rough & Tumble is a two-person, multi-instrumental folk-Americana duo consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler. While they consider their beloved PO Box location to be Nashville, the couple has been living on the road with their two dogs for two of their five touring years. The Rough & Tumble delivers each performance with the nudge of an elbow, a wink from the right eye, and the sincerity of Pinocchio after his rehabilitation. Their 2016 release, Pieces and Pieces, was written for the dually named Alyssa Pearson film, and delved into themes of women, war, and PTSD. Their upcoming release, Cardboard and Christmas Lights (Rock Candy Recordings), is a 7 song EP that brings any R&T fan– new or long time devout– up to date with an uncomfortable smile on their somber face.
Thanks to the hard work of Education Commission and numerous volunteers, we are wrapping up an active and educational year of Sunday school classes. The children's Godly Play program will finish on May 21, while adult Sunday Forum will continue for one more week with a discussion of The New Sanctuary Movement (9:15, May 28).
On May 14, Tony Norman led a Forum discussing the book Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance. In addition to this memoir, he suggested several other books that give historical insight and context to the role of class in American society and politics. In particular, White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, by Nancy Isenberg offers an extensive, and well-reviewed, consideration. Other suggestions were:
- The Gilded Rage, Alex Zaitchik
- White Working Class, Joan Williams (due out this week)
- Postcards from the Edge of America, Linh Dinh
- The End of White Christian America, Robert Jones
- The Righteous Mind, Jonathan Haidt
- White Rage: Unspoken Truth of our Racial Divide, Carol Anderson
All of our Sunday school classes will resume in September. If you are interested in helping with Godly Play or leading a Sunday Forum discussion, talk to Jaime Horst or Erica Pipitone.

Her message, that jazz comes in enough shapes and sizes to suit everyone, is delivered openly in the title song: "Look to the rainbow / Notice every hue / Look to the rainbow / There are many kinds of blues" and, in particular: "From boogie woogie and swing / To bebop, cool and free jazz / From blues on a back porch in Mississippi / To Sunday morning Gospel / It's all good, it's the art of blue."
J'ai's tribute to Carmen McRae, "Carmen's Blues," begins with Nedra Wheeler's big walking bass line, continues with the vocalist and bassist "conversing," and then allows time for each member of the rhythm trio to stretch out in honor of the late singer who we all miss dearly. The Billie Holiday and Mal Waldron ballad "Left Alone" finds singer and trumpeter Brashear expressing tenderly, "Stop The Word" combines the music of several familiar blues tunes with poetry that drives home a message about the negative aspects of television with respect to violence in society, and "Willow Weep for Me" finds both pianist Morgan and Baby J'ai at their very best.
"Louisiana Stomp" rolls out the rhythm carpet for a New Orleans shuffle with horns, rollicking piano, and even a washboard; the lyrics mention Ray Charles, Dr. John, and Professor Longhair, as pianist Wayne Peet provides authenticity. This debut recording should be available in stores; information can be obtained from Collin Artists, P.O. Box 10782, Beverly Hills, California 90213 (213) 660-1016.

Two days was just too long to wait.
I was shocked when my first attempt using my Excalibur to make soaked and dehydrated almonds and walnuts took two full days. I used a lower temperature than I had in the past with the smaller Nesco Snackmaster because the Excalibur handbook spoke of "raw and living foods" for a temp of 105F. If the whole point of dehydrating crispy nuts instead of roasting them is to preserve living enzymes, I wanted to be sure everything stayed living!
Well. Although I started out at a higher temp (135F, I think – where is the paper on which I wrote this stuff down???) for a few hours, taking nuts down to 105F or even 115F is way too low and takes too long. Of course, I also had the dehydrator stuffed to the gills with 9 pounds of nuts and two tray of dehydrating oats! When I dehydrated walnuts in the side by side dehydrator review, I kept them at 135F, and it took about 14 hours to be fully dry and crispy.
Here's an interesting note: I checked the internal temp of the dehydrator today after it had been running for many hours, and it was 10 degrees less than the setting. Lenetta has found the same thing with her dehydrator. Anyone else find this?
Excalibur Customer Service
I know I was probably a little hard on the Excalibur when I compared it to the Nesco, but I expect a lot out of a product that costs a lot of money. I would like to give major props to the Excalibur company for having spectacular customer service. I had a lovely conversation with Stephanie from Excalibur, and it was clear that she not only had a lot of knowledge of the product, but that she used it all the time herself and had a great deal of knowledge about healthy food, prepared traditionally. It's neat that you can call for dehydrator support and receive nutritional support as well!
She instructed me to start soaked nuts at 135F for about 3 hours, then turn the dehydrator down to 115F for the remainder of the time, even if it's two days.
The Excalibur test kitchen has run tests on soaked nuts (how cool is that, that the test kitchen even knows what soaking nuts and seeds is?) and found that the internal moisture content may still be evident even when the nuts are dry enough to pass the plastic bag/moisture test. For long term storage (months), you may want to keep your crispy nuts in the fridge or freezer.
Almond Update: Are Almonds Already Pasteurized?
I'm always learning something new. In the comments when I posted on crispy nuts previously, someone told me that all almonds are pasteurized already, so the low-temp dehydration may be futile. Of course, I checked with the two places I buy my almonds:
From Meijer:
Thank you for writing into us with your inquiry. All of our Meijer raw almonds are steamed.
From Country Life Natural Foods:
The Almonds are pasteurized with steam. No chemicals are involved.
For me, that meant no more waiting 48 hours for crispy almonds. I figured I'd just zap them in a 300 degree oven for an hour or two and call them done, if there are no enzymes anyway. I had tried to sprout a handful of almonds previously with zero results. However, a gal at a WAPF meeting (topic: Healthy Snacks! I got to share my power bars…) told me that about 95% of their Meijer almonds end up sprouting, so the steam pasteurization, she theorized, is very quick and doesn't kill all the enzymes, just the surface bacteria.
If you purchase almonds, you may want to call the supplier to make sure they're not chemically pasteurized. You can also find organic, "for sprouting" nuts that are certainly living foods and not pasteurized, but I found them to be cost-prohibitive at my health foods store. You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth dehydrating almonds or just roasting them.
Does a Dehydrator Use More Energy Than an Oven?
Since you can technically make crispy nuts in an oven as well as a dehydrator (you just kill the enzymes in an oven), running a cost comparison is a great idea. According to my appliance cost post, an oven costs between 10-25 cents/hour at 350F. When I compared two dehydrators, I found that the Excalibur 9-tray model, which I have, costs 61 cents for 12 hours. If almonds take 3-4 hours to finish in a 350F degree oven, that's $0.30-1.00 for a batch. The Excalibur 9-tray can fit at least three times as many nuts, and even if it takes 48 hours for almonds, that's about $2.44. Depending on whether you have a gas (less expensive) or electric oven, it may still be better to run the dehydrator for crispy almonds. Since walnuts get done in about 12-14 hours, I would say the dehydrator would definitely be more cost effective there.
Is a Dehydrator Green?
I know a lot of people probably wonder about the safety of heating food touching the plastic trays in a dehydrator. I called the Nesco company before I tried my friend's Snackmaster out, and they said the same thing Excalibur did: the plastic is no. 5 polypropylene, BPA-free. Here is an article comparing plastic vs. stainless steel trays. For myself, I figure I can't avoid everything, all the time.
I love that Excalibur is 100% a U.S. company with all products made right here in the USA. They also consider themselves a "green company" and recycle the end product and anything else they can.
One Last Update: My Cherries
Our family picked cherries for the first time this week, at a farm that is not organic but practices integrative pest management and works to be eco-friendly. (They're on my local resources list, coming next week as part of the Go Local! Challenge.) We paid $1.50/pound, and after two hours pitting cherries to fill five dehydrator trays, I'm thinking I'd rather buy already picked and pitted cherries for a few quarters more a pound! My husband points out that it was a good experience to be out in the cherry orchard, and he's right. I'm all about one-time experience on this one, though. 😉
If you've never dehydrated anything, allow me to amaze you with how much the foods actually shrink in size. Dehydrating is truly a great way to conserve space for food storage! The photo below shows all the dried cherries I made sitting in my colander. They started out as two completely full colanders, about 8-10 pounds, I'm guessing, as we picked 15 total. Those are not quart sized bags, but little, tiny 3″x3″ snack baggies. They'll make great on-the-go snacks, but I'm always shocked at how little is left when the water is all gone! I doubt there's much more than a pound, maybe two, when all is said and done.
I'll keep these guys in the fridge for long-term storage. Even though I know the condensation trick to make sure they're done, I wanted them to be chewy and not tough/crunchy, so I'm always afraid I pull them a little early like my sad cranberries. (They only took 12 hours this time, instead of 20! I'll update the how to dehydrate fruits post.)
Tonight (June 25) at midnight marks the last chance to win an Excalibur dehydrator of your very own! Also, Sunday, June 27th is the close of The Nourishing Gourmet's Nourishing Food on a Budget eCourse registration. If you are interested in learning real food cooking techniques and budget tips multi-media style, anytime between now and January, be sure to use the coupon code "kitchenstew" for $20 off the enrollment fee!

IE 7 Released Again?
I know the title to today's quick tip may surprise some of you (I know I was when I first heard about this), but there is a good basis behind it, so don't stress out just yet. First, allow me to ask you all a question: If you use Internet Explorer 7, are you truly happy with it? I mean, does it do everything you need it to as a Web browser? If you're an IE user, it's obviously your browser of choice, but are there some things you can think of that could be improved? I'll give you a second to think that over. Then when you're ready, come back and finish reading this tip. It'll all make sense to you soon, I promise!
In between the time when IE 7 was released (almost one year ago today) and now, it seems as if Microsoft has found some things within the updated browser that they are not satisfied with. Of course, there are several pros to using IE 7, including its phishing filter, the steps it has taken to prevent online fraud, the tabbed browsing, QuickTabs, easier printing, CSS improvements, new add ons, etc., but there are still some other things that could use a little touching up. And that's exactly what Microsoft is offering its users with an "Installation and Availability Update" for Internet Explorer 7. Let's find out what all this second release entails, shall we?!
First of all, the new IE 7 will no longer require the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation. With that out of the way, IE 7 will now be available to all Windows XP users. Some of you may have had a problem downloading the new browser when it was first released, but it is now ready for everyone. The re-release will also show the menu bar (the File, Edit, View, etc. menus) by default, which definitely comes in handy. This new IE 7 also has an updated online tour, so if you're a first time user, you will be getting the full treatment in learning how to use it. So, if you would like to give this new version a try, you can download it right here. That's all you have to do to start enjoying your favorite Web browser, again. I love it!
~ Erin

December is barely here, yet boaters in Santa Barbara and up and down the coast are already decking their bows with colorful Christmas lights! Attending a boat parade is a fun (and often free) way to celebrate the holidays in true California style.
Santa Barbara's Parade of Lights takes place on Sunday, December 6th at 5:30 PM. Claim your spot somewhere between the City Pier and Stearn's Wharf to see the colorful watercraft of all sizes glide along the water. Be sure to stay til the end for the fireworks show. And, get there early and head to the City Pier (near the Maritime Museum) to see revelers playing in tons of snow and enjoying other kid-friendly activities.
Just up the coast, Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo is holding its Lighted Boat Parade on Saturday, December 5th at 6:30pm.
The Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade is on Saturday, December 12th. I'll be your host at Burton Chace Park, offering colorful commentary at the passing boats. It's always fun and, if there's a lull in the parade, we'll recruit some kids to lead us in a round of Christmas Carols.
Colorful fireworks will light up the Marina del Rey harbor at 5:55 PM, and the parade starts at 6 PM. The theme this year is "Adventures on the Sea," and "Brady Bunch" mom, Florence Henderson, will serve as grand marshal. You should find free parking in the L.A. County lots (Burton Chace Park is located at the end of Mindanao in Marina del Rey).
Redondo Beach and the community of Naples are also holding their parades on December 12th. Redondo Beach's parade isn't as elaborate as Marina del Rey's, but it will still be plenty of fun. If you are in the South Bay, Click here to check out some of the prime viewing spots. The Naples Holiday Boat Parade in Long Beach starts at 7pm, but nearby streets close at 5pm, so plan to arrive early.
Also Read: Santa Barbara's "Merry" Season
Dana Point's parade expands to two weekends this year, Fri/Sat Dec 11, 12, 18 & 19th. And, the Ventura Harbor Parade of Lights and fireworks show takes place December 18-19th. Ventura Harbor Village is ground zero for all the Santa Fun.
The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade is the grand daddy of Southern California boat parades, running for five nights, December 16-20th. Calling itself 'the nation's longest running lighted boat parade,' some boaters spend $50,000 decorating their yachts and watercraft, vying for bragging rights and some wonderful prizes. This parade has been going on for more than 100 years and the harbor is expected to be wall-to-wall boats again this year. I don't know how the captains manage to keep from bumping into each other!
If you plan ahead, you might still be able to get a reservation at a waterside restaurant with a view. But, it can be just as much fun to watch the parade outdoors, it's free and what a fun family Christmas activity!
Traffic411 Insider's Tip: Dress warmly – it might feel cooler than the temperature outside sitting waterside to view the parade.

France bows to stage director Patrice Chereau, dead at 68
By Tom Heneghan
PARIS (Reuters) - The French theatre, opera and film director Patrice Chereau, who mounted one of the most famous productions of Richard Wagner's "Ring" cycle in Bayreuth in the 1970s, has died at the age of 68.
Chereau, who was preparing a production of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" when he succumbed to lung cancer, was a restless innovator who began directing at high school in Paris and never looked back.
His last work, a production of Richard Strauss's opera "Elektra" in Aix-en-Provence, France in July, won wild plaudits and critical acclaim for the way it brought out new depths in the tragic characters.
"One of the greatest French artists has just died," President Francois Hollande said of Chereau after his death was reported by newspaper Liberation. "France has lost an artist of universal proportions who made it proud around the world."
The Paris daily Le Monde said: "Few men and few artists have lived as intensely and left such a towering legacy. There were all the directors in one category, and then Patrice Chereau."
The son of struggling artists, Chereau began his career in the mid-1960s directing a Paris theatre with a strong left-wing political bent. In 1969, he went to work at Milan's Piccolo Teatro with the Italian director Giorgio Strehler.
By 1971, he was back in France, this time in Lyon, where his "violent, virulent and sumptuous theatre" presentations, as the Paris daily Liberation put it, built his reputation further.
Then in 1976, when the French conductor Pierre Boulez asked him to direct Wagner's "Ring" cycle of operas at the legendary festival in Bayreuth, Chereau made his unforgettable debut on the international opera scene. Continued...

Joan Purdy
Joan Purdy, originally from Roswell, New Mexico, passed away on October 11, 2013, in Shreveport, Louisiana, after living a life full of family and friends. She was blessed to be surrounded by those she loved and whose hearts she touched during her unique life's journey.
Joan raised four children with her husband, James Foster Dykes, who preceded her in death. She is survived by children Denise Dykes Ponder and husband Dennis Ray Ponder of Uncertain, Texas, Debora Dykes Kelly and partner Scott Anthony Messina of Aspen, Colorado, Martin James Dykes and wife [auth] Danielle Valadez Dykes of Shreveport, Louisiana, and Christopher Edward Dykes of Austin, Texas; grandchildren, Kathryn Joan Ponder, Mitchell Ray Ponder, Rebecca Danielle Dykes, and Rhiannon Michelle Dykes; and great-grandchildren, Reagen Addyson Love and Ryleigh Denise Love. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Edward Purdy and Marion Jewett Purdy of Roswell, New Mexico, as well as her sisters, Margot Marie Purdy and Jean Purdy Schum-pert.
Besides the love of her family, Joan's two passions in life were art and service to others. She was an accomplished watercolorist for more than 35 years and showed her art in museums, galleries, and restaurants. She was a member of the Hoover Watercolor and the Louisiana Watercolor Societies and her paintings were published in art journals and won several prestigious awards. She also helped others find their artistic side through watercolor classes in her home.
Joan spent countless hours helping others in the recovery community that meant so much to her. She never ceased her spiritual journey and mentored and encouraged others on theirs, always available with a kind word, suggestion, or prayer.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials may be made to Oakwood Home For Women, 1700 Highland Avenue, Shreveport, LA, 71101 or to the charity of the donor's choice.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 16, 2013, at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, 9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport, LA. Officiating will be Barbara Jarrell.
The family will receive friends at 10 a.m. until service begins and will remain 30 minutes following the service in the church's social hall.

Last Time Out
MADISON (BadgerNation) - This one was needed in so many ways for the University of Wisconsin.
Coming into Sunday's game looking to bounce-back after a tough loss to Minnesota Thursday night, No.20 Wisconsin redeemed themselves in a big way.
Four UW players scored in double figures and six scored at least seven points in a dominant 71-49 thrashing of No.13 Ohio State Sunday afternoon at the Kohl Center.
With conference co-leaders Indiana and Michigan State both pulling off Saturday wins, Wisconsin (18-8, 9-4 Big Ten) moved back within two games of first place with its fifth victory this season over a team ranked in The Associated Press top 25.
"I think every game is going to be a challenge no matter who it is," said junior guard Ben Brust, who led the Badgers with 15 points along with Jared Berggren. "Any team can beat any team ... Obviously you have to take care of what you can control and the rest will hopefully play out your way."
After trading baskets in the first few minutes, the Badgers pulled away on an 18-0 run, giving them the lead and momentum they would not lose. Three days after an 8:48 scoreless stretch cost the Badgers a road win in Minneapolis, Wisconsin shot a season-high 52.7 percent from the field (29-for-55).
"They were better, and I think they can get better again," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said about his team's effort. "Never too high, never too low. I'll find clips for tomorrow where I'll encourage the guys to improve their play and improve their decision-making."
The Badgers hit some tough shots and were consistent cutting to the basket to get easy points. Wisconsin outscored Ohio State 30-24 in the paint, 10-4 on second-chance points and 37-30 on the glass.
"Those guys did their jobs," said Ryan. "They worked hard [today]. They worked hard against Minnesota. Offensively they didn't make real good decisions and hit shots."
In addition to his 15 points, Berggren added eight rebounds and four blocks, but it was Brust who was the big factor on the glass. Brust recorded his fifth double-double of the season, and first in conference play, with 11 rebounds, adding three assists to one turnover.
Defensively, the Badgers executed the game plan better than their Jan. 29 matchup in Columbus; a game that saw Deshaun Thomas scored 25 points as the Buckeyes shot 51.1 percent. Thomas hit 8 of 17 shots and finished with 18 points to lead the Buckeyes (18-7, 8-5), but struggled to shake the tight defense that Mike Bruesewitz and Ryan Evans blanketed him with following his first bucket of the game.
Last Meeting
MADISON (BadgerNation) -What was once a close Big Ten grind got quickly out of hand after Wisconsin ended five straight possessions over 2:07 with three points – three three-pointers from All-American Jordan Taylor, one from Josh Gasser and an old-fashioned one from Ryan Evans – that resulted in a 15-2 run that helped dispelled the Wildcats, 77-57, Wednesday at the Kohl Center.
Four Badgers scored in double figures and five had at least eight points as Wisconsin (15-5, 4-3 Big Ten) shot 50 percent from the floor for the eighth time this season but for the first time since Dec.27.
It's evident that the comfort returned from three-point range. Shooting 43 percent or better in four of its first six nonconference games, Wisconsin shot a combined 10 of 68 (14.7 percent) from three-point range in its first three Big Ten home games. Against Northwestern, Wisconsin knocked in 12 three-pointers, shot 52.2 percent from distance and six different players drained a perimeter shot.
The 12 threes were the most Wisconsin made since Nov.26 and made the Wildcats (12-6, 2-4) switch between man and their 1-3-1 zone defense to try and find anything that could slow a UW offense that seemed determined to finally knock down some shots.
At times this season, it was evident that one three-point shot could have rewritten the entire story. Wisconsin attempted at least 19 three-pointers in all five of its losses this season and the Badgers made more than five three-pointers only twice.
So when Jordan Taylor started hitting his second-half three-pointers, it drew shades of his second-half performance against Ohio State last season, which also included everybody else chipping in at some point. Starting with the three-pointers, Wisconsin went on a 30-9 run over a nine-minute stretch that was headlined by the perimeter shooting, production in the post, 6-for-7 on free throws and a 4-to-2 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Staring at the stat sheet, it's hard to determine which player gave Wisconsin the biggest lift. Evans missed his only three-point attempt, but led the team in points (17), rebounds (9) and scored 15 in the second half. Taylor scored 12 of his 15 in the second half thanks to four three-pointers, three coming on that decisive run, and a 6-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Throw in Mike Bruesewitz's 13 points, Gasser's 10 points, a 17-1 margin in bench points and UW holding Northwestern's John Shurna (leading Big Ten scorer) and Drew Crawford (third leading scorer) to 4 of 12 in the second half, it was a complete effort.
Series Notes:
The Badgers have won five straight over the Wildcats by an average of 16.8 points per game.
The Badgers have won 10 of the last 11 match-ups overall against the Wildcats.
Bill Carmody (13th season) and Bo Ryan (12th season) are two of the three longest-tenured coaches in the Big Ten (behind MSU's Tom Izzo, 18th season).
Ryan is 15-4 all-time vs. NU. Ryan-led teams are 5-4 record at Welsh-Ryan Arena and UW has won in 4 of the last 5 trips to Evanston.
UW has out-rebounded NU in 11 straight games, by an average of 11.7 per game.
UW has 4 players from the Chicagoland area: senior Dan Fahey, junior Ben Brust, sophomore Frank Kaminsky and redshirt freshman George Marshall. Kaminsky and NU's Dave Sobolewski were high school teammates at Benet Academy in the Chicago area.
Wednesday's game matches two of the top 10 teams in the nation in terms of taking care of the basketball. Wisconsin ranks third nationally with a norm of 9.5 turnovers per game, while Northwestern is ninth at 10.7 per contest.
Wisconsin Notes
Including this season, Wisconsin has now reached at least 9 Big Ten wins in 13 consecutive seasons, including all 12 with Bo Ryan at the helm.
The Badgers are 5-4 against teams in the AP Top 25 this season. Wisconsin and Indiana (5) are the only 2 teams in the nation with at least 5 top-25 wins. Wisconsin has beaten five top-teams for the first time in school history.
Wisconsin is the only team in the nation to have played at least 9 games against AP Top-25 teams. In fact, only 5 other teams in Div. I (Minn, Ill., OSU, Nebraska and Purdue) have even faced 8 ranked opponents.
With one more win, the Badgers would also clinch a winning record in Big Ten play for the 13th consecutive season. Among the 6 major conferences, only Kansas (22 seasons) has a longer active streak of finishing above .500 in league play.
Northwestern Notes:
The Wildcats are limiting their opponents to an average of 62.3 points per game after allowing 68.2 points per contest a year ago. NU is also holding its foes to a .417 field goal percentage. The 'Cats have held 10 of their opponents to below 40 percent shooting in a game.
The Wildcats ranked fourth in the nation with a 1.53 assist-to-turnover ratio last season and they're 11th in the nation so far this year with a 1.40 ratio (389 assists, 278 turnovers).
Since Jordan Taylor graduated and Josh Gasser went down prior to the season, the University of Wisconsin has been looking for a playmaker to step up and be the go-to option. After the last four games, it appears junior guard Ben Brust is willing to become that player.
After leading UW to a pair of overtime wins, including his now famous buzzer-beating 3-point shot to force OT against No. 3 Michigan, Brust earned his first Big Ten's Co-Player of the Week award two weeks ago. He followed that performance by averaging 13 points and 7.5 rebounds last week, including a double-double over then-No.13 Ohio State.
"He just continues to work hard at every phase of the game," said UW coach Bo Ryan. "He's a heck of a rebounder for his size. He takes very good care of the basketball. Those are two things that sure help throughout the course of the season. He's one of the most consistent players I have ever had the chance to coach."
While Brust is the present, it's evident that freshman Sam Dekker is the future. Having scored in double figures in three straight games, Dekker is averaging 8.5 points per play in conference, shooting 48.2 percent from the floor and 42.6 percent from 3-point range. Those last two percentages lead the team; so much for hitting a freshman wall.
"He's reading and reacting better offensively to what we're doing," said Ryan. "Defensively he's also learning to react and read the way we do them. If he continues to make that kind of progress, he's going to be one heck of a contributor to what happens."
As good as things seem to be going for the Badgers, Northwestern endured yet another season-ending injury when Jared Swopshire hurt his right knee at Iowa on Feb. 9 and then went arthroscopic surgery on Feb. 12 that ended his campaign.
Swopshire was averaging 9.7 points and a team-best 6.7 rebounds per game this season, but joins a growing list of Wildcats who have been lost for the season including Drew Crawford (shoulder), Jershon Cobb (violations of team policy), Sanjay Lumpkin (wrist) and Chier Ajou (knee).
It's a reason why Northwestern used three freshmen in the starting lineup last time out against Illinois and the first player off the bench was a freshman.
"It's always good to have guys that have been through the rigors of the Big Ten," said Ryan. "For freshmen, this league can be a tough league for them."
The Wildcats will try to challenge the Badgers from the perimeter. Northwestern led the Big Ten and ranked fifth nationally in 2011-12 with an average of 9.0 3-point makes per game. The Wildcats are averaging 7.7 makes this season and are 9-2 when they make at least eight shots from three.
Wisconsin has allowed just 101 total 3-pointers this season (3.88 per game). That figure leads all major conference teams and ranks 5th in the NCAA overall. Last season the Badgers finished second in the NCAA allowing just 3.58 triples per game.
In regular season games played on Feb. 1 of later, Ryan's teams have gone 77-26 (.748) over his 12 seasons. That includes a mark of 4-1 this year. It's always tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially at Northwestern, but the Wildcats will become the 10th conference opponent UW has held under 60 points with a 10-point victory.
Worgull's Record: 16-10
Points off Prediction: 277 (10.65 per game)

Another 3 million GM cars recalled
General Motors said Monday that it would recall 3.36 million defective cars worldwide, another low point in the seemingly endless safety crisis that has engulfed the nation's largest automaker.
Once again, the problem had to do with keys that could suddenly turn off engines and deactivate air bags — a problem similar to the deadly defect that GM failed to address for more than a decade before it began recalling 2.6 million small cars in February. GM has linked at least 13 deaths and 54 crashes to that defect.
The announcement came two days before Mary T. Barra, GM's chief executive, is scheduled to appear before a House subcommittee investigating the small-car defect.
Lawmakers are eager to question Barra about how GM will change its corporate culture in the aftermath of the initial recall and an internal investigation. But Monday's announcement is likely to produce another round of sharp questions like those Barra faced in April.
"This latest recall raises even more questions about just how pervasive safety problems are at GM," said the Energy and Commerce Committee chairman, Fred Upton, R-Mich. "This is not just a Cobalt problem. Drivers and their families need to be assured that their cars are safe to drive."
In its announcement Monday, GM said it would revamp or replace ignition keys on seven models because of a faulty key design that has been used for years.
The company said keys laden with extra weight — such as additional keys or objects attached to a key ring — could inadvertently switch the vehicle's engine off if the car struck a pothole or crossed railroad tracks.
GM said it was aware of eight accidents and six injuries related to the defect.
Alan Adler, a GM spokesman, said the vehicles recalled Monday had different ignition switches and systems from those in the recalled Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions.
The vehicles covered include the Buick Lacrosse, model years 2005-09; Chevrolet Impala, 2006-14; Cadillac Deville, 2000-05; Cadillac DTS, 2004-11; Buick Lucerne, 2006-11; Buick Regal LS and RS, 2004-05; and Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006-08.
The Chevrolet Impala is the only model still in production and is sold to daily rental fleets as the Impala Limited. To fix the problem, the company said, it will add an insert that covers slots on the ignition key. The insert instead substitutes a hole at the end of the key.
In the Cobalt's case, GM is putting in entirely new ignition systems.

US Torture 'Indisputable,' Bipartisan Panel Concludes
A landmark bipartisan study has found "indisputable" evidence that the United States practiced torture in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and that the George W. Bush administration is responsible.
The 560-page report, conducted and published by the Constitution Project, a bipartisan, non-profit think-tank, found that President Bush and top administration officials knowingly ordered the use of so-called 'enhanced interrogation techniques' that US officials previously referred to as torture.
The study also found that the US practice of extraordinary rendition, the apprehension and extrajudicial transfer of terrorism suspects to a network of secret US-run prisons or foreign agencies for the purpose of interrogation, often included the use of torture.
"After conducting our own two-year investigation, weighing the credibility of all sources and studying the current public record, we have come to the regrettable, but unavoidable, conclusion that the United States did indeed engage in conduct that is clearly torture," panel chairman Asa Hutchinson, formerly a Republican congressman from Arkansas and undersecretary of Homeland Security during the Bush administration, stated.
Countering claims by some conservatives that torture led to finding and killing Osama bin Laden, the new study found that "there is no persuasive evidence that the widespread use of harsh interrogation techniques by US forces produced significant information of value. There is substantial evidence that much of the information adduced from the use of such techniques was not useful or reliable."
Furthermore, the study found that torture "damaged the standing of our nation, reduced our capacity to convey moral censure when necessary and potentially increased the danger to US military personnel taken captive" by enemy forces.
While abuses occur in all wars, the study panel concluded that "there is no evidence there had ever been the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after September 11, directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody," the report states.
Indeed, Justice Department lawyer John Yoo argued that the president had unlimited wartime powers, including the right to order the massacre of an entire village of civilians, and that the Geneva Conventions did not apply in the War on Terror. Yoo infamously wrote that detainee abuse only crosses the line into torture if the pain inflicted was equal to "organ failure, impairment of bodily function or even death."
Yoo is one of 13 top Bush officials who either authorized torture, implemented its practice or created or provided legal cover to justify the abuse.
Bush administration officials knew that the techniques they were approving violated US and international laws, including the War Crimes Act, the Federal Anti-Torture Statute, the Torture Victims Protection Act and the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which states that "no exceptional circumstances whatsoever… may be invoked as a justification for torture." Under this law, the US is obligated to prosecute the Bush officials who authorized torture. Not only has the Obama administration failed to do so, it has actively protected the Bush torturers from being held accountable or facing justice.
The study lists dozens of examples of US courts and officials treating 'enhanced interrogation techniques' as torture when they have been used by or against Americans, including when Japanese soldiers were tried, convicted and executed for waterboarding American prisoners of war.
The panel also urged the Obama administration to declassify a recently-completed 6,000 page Senate report on the CIA's 'enhanced interrogation' program.
Among the verified torture techniques and other abuse that US military and CIA detainees have been subjected to during the course of the 11-year War on Terror: murder, rape of male and female detainees, imprisonment of family members as bargaining chips, beatings, refusal of medical treatment, interrupted drowning (waterboarding), solitary confinement, sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, withholding food and water, force-feeding, exposure to extremes– sometimes deadly— of heat and cold, exposure to insects, exposure to deafeningly loud music, sexual humiliation, menacing and attacking with dogs, shackling in painful 'stress positions,' 'walling,' death and rape threats against detainees and family members, forced standing, and 'Palestinian crucifixion.'
Compounding these abuses is the fact that the vast majority of detainees in US custody were innocent, and Bush, Dick Cheney and others knew this but held them anyway. Dozens of innocent Guantánamo Bay prisoners, some of them cleared for release since 2004, are still imprisoned at GITMO to this day.
"What sets the United States apart as a world leader, in addition to our military might, are our values and respect for the rule of law," former Rep. James R. Jones, a member of the study panel, wrote. "All the available evidence led us to conclude that, for many of these detainees, the US violated both international law and treaties and our own laws, greatly diminishing America's ability to forge important alliances around the world."
The study's authors also aim to end the long-simmering debate over whether or not our nation practiced torture, for "as long as the debate continues, so too does the possibility that the United States could again engage in torture."
"Democracy and torture cannot peacefully coexist in the same body politic," the report states. "The task force also believes and hopes that publicly acknowledging this grave error (torture), however belatedly, may… help undo some of the damage to our reputation at home and abroad."

I am 27 years old and have nearly flawless skin. My only facial flaws were these deep tear trough divits that that aged me beyond what most girls my age look like. I got Restylane injected under my eyes in my troughs and the results are amazing! I look rested, had minimal bruising, and I'm very pleased with the difference. The best part - it took such a tiny amount of the stuff to fill this area that they let me keep the extra. They said the one syringe will probably last me 2 or 3 more times. I recommend it to anyone considering having Restylane to correct this type of deformity.
Highly Recommend for Tear Trough Deformity
