Google preemptively named Angels' Mike Trout 2014 AL MVP
A Google search for "2014 AL MVP" turns up Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout thanks to the search engine's ability to see into the future.

The glitch has since been fixed and For The Win reports that it was likely a function of the web browser confusing his 2014 All-Star Game MVP with the year end award.

Or maybe the search behemoth just used a little bit of its computing power to take a peek at Trout's impressive numbers so far this year and just made an educated guess.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another dose of Primal Blueprint inspiration. Many thanks to Hank for taking the time to share how he lost nearly 100 lbs in just 6 months, and turned his life around in the process.
If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as you send them in. Thanks for reading!
My name is Hank Garner and I am 39 years old. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Except for a brief time in my young adulthood, I have always been over weight.
My wife and I were married 16 years ago. Over the 16 years, we were blessed with five beautiful children. The problem is that every time my wife would get pregnant, she gained weight, and so did I. After each baby was born, my wife went right back to the slim figure she has always maintained and I did not. As the years went by I got bigger and bigger. I am five feet six inches tall and in 2010 my weight reached almost 300 pounds. I am not exactly sure how heavy I actually got. We had a scale that went to 280 and after I started trying to weigh myself, it broke. Go figure. I was easily 300 pounds and I was miserable. I hated everything about myself. I hated knowing that I was not the man that I should be.
October 2010 – Holding My Niece
I started doing research and found that low carb eating worked well for me. I started losing a little bit of weight, but I wasn't fully committed to it. I had successfully lost about 20 pounds, but I hadn't committed to a lifestyle. I had a conversation with my wife in early Fall 2010, and told her that I was disgusted with myself and felt like I did not have control of my life anymore. My blood pressure was badly out of control. I had chronic asthma and after any physical exertion I had to use an albuterol inhaler. I watched over the past couple of years as family member after family member was diagnosed with either heart disease or diabetes or both. Some of them were very close to my age. It was time to make a change. I weighed in officially on October 15th at 276 pounds. I set a goal to be 180 pounds. I honestly did not know if I would make it to 180. It seemed like I was stuck being fat. I tried to lose weight many times, but I could never get below below 230 pounds. This time, I was determined, would be different.
I decided that I was going to change my life and to keep myself accountable, I would start a blog. I knew that I would follow some sort of low carb plan so I called it my low carb journey. I would post what was going on with me, the good, the bad and the uncomfortable. I started really digging into the science behind fat loss and discovered Primal living. A friend recommended I read "The Primal Blueprint", which I did. This book made such sense to me. Everything that I knew deep down inside about nutrition and exercise was being validated. I wanted to learn all I could.
I had tons of questions to ask. The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn, and the more I wanted to help others. I have a history in broadcasting and decided to use this as another way of learning for myself and educating others. I launched a podcast and sought out people that had information about fat loss and people that had made a big change in their own lives. During this time, I was applying what I learned and making a change in my life.
The first month of my journey I lost 37 pounds. I felt like a new man. I removed all sweeteners and dairy from my diet and the weight just kept coming off. I started only eating real food. I started moving more. I lifted weights and started running. As an asthmatic, any exertion was not fun. The more weight I lost I found that the asthma was no longer a problem. My blood pressure stabilized and became normal. I set a goal to run a half marathon. I do that in 2 weeks. I am already up to running 11 miles on my long weekend run.
This Friday, April 15th is my 6 month anniversary. I reached my initial goal of 180 pounds in under 6 months. I still have a few pounds to lose and I want to add some more muscle, but as you can see, I am not the same man that I was just 6 mouths ago.

Great job, Hank!
Thanks for sharing my story, Mark and for all the great information you share.
Way to go, Hank! Your story just blows me away. You deserve your success. Congratulations!
I just read this same success story on Free the Animal…
GO HANK! GO! GO! GO! Your success story has been published on 2 of the most visited primal sites. Next up is Robb Wolf. Go for it!
Would you like to be the first one on my site?
P.S. I will do a podcast with you soon!
Robb Wolf isn't primal.
He's not? So hes paleo? Primal=Paleo. I guess that means Robb Wolf is primal.
Primal is a form of Paleo. There are paleo diets, for example, that aren't against carbohydrate and where potatoes are allowed. They don't believe carbohydare on its own is a bad thing (think of the tribes that eat 50%+ of their calories from carbs), but probably only in the context that it may not be good for people with damaged metabolisms.
Primal and Paleo are funny to me. Every individual has such a unique interpretation of what the differences and similarities are.
Awesome job, Hank! Congratulations!!
Thats a big change in only 6 months dude. You look like a whole different person.
Nice work Hank. I myself have lost 60 lbs. From about 230lbs. 28-30% body fat to a new 168lbs 11% body fat. Althought I took my time getting there (about 2 years). I don't regret it one bit. It feels sooooo good to be able to look at yourself, and your family members look at you as a form of inspiration and encouragement. Keep up the good work. And thanks to Mark, Robb Wolf, Jimmy Moore, and the rest of the low carb, primal, paleo community. You guys are awesome!!
Fantastic Success Story!!! Congratulations on such amazing progress !!
You're the Primal Biggest Loser !! 🙂
just like everyone else: I love Fridays! I love starting of the day inspired with a story of triumph!
Thank you Hank (& all the others) for sharing your journey 🙂
LOVE the story! Contrats on a great life change Hank!
Thanks for the kind words, yall!
By the way, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago. My half marathon is tomorrow morning.
Hank this is awesome! I'm forwarding your story to a few friends who need some inspiration. I myself have become a new person (not as large a transformation as you, but I FEEL totally different) and I just want to share the knowledge!
Congrats and good luck, Hank!
Best of luck tomorrow Hank and way to go!
Go, Hank, go!
Thanks for this story Hank! My parents have been on a Primal challenge (instigated by me) for the last three weeks and I think its catching on. Your story will definitely inspire them.
Hank, what a great story! I started with Atkins, changed quickly to Primal and enjoy every day feeling healthy and strong! I have lost about 30 lbs myself in almost 3 months, with more to lose, but will enjoy every step of the way. You are a great inspiration and I'm sure you will ROCK that 1/2 marathon!
*whispers* You can do a Primal form of Atkins…
Good luck with your marathon tomorrow, Hank.
Keep up the great work – your own and what you do for others. Congratulations!
LOVE IT!! Thanks for sharing your journey on your blog too!
Great job…keep up the great work!
Great job, keep it up!
Apologies for my faulty math. Apparently when the numbers are this big I can't handle division.
Oh, it gets better. When you've been that overweight, you oftentimes have more muscle mass than you would have if you'd been slender the whole time–your body adjusts to carrying all that weight around. So when you lose it, if you can preserve your lean mass, that's half your battle.
Big congrats! I love these stories each Friday to keep my head in the game!! 🙂
I totally agree. By Friday I start feeling a bit knackered, and a great success story like this one reminds me what it's all about and puts new wind in my sails. I can't wait to get outside and tear up the pavement in solidarity with Hank!
Awesome work, Hank. Inspiring stuff. Respect to you for having respect for yourself, and for your family.
Way to go, Hank! Another case history to pass along to all my non-believing friends and family!
Great job Hank. It's a great feeling. From February of 2010 till now I have lost 109 lbs. 272-163. Keep up the good work!
Great job Hank! Your incredible resolve and commitment let to an incredible, new you! Keep up the good work.
That is amazing.
Awesome Hank. I really enjoy following your blog and the podcasts that you did with Steve. Good luck with your half marathon!!!
Amazing progress! Your story is very inspirational. 🙂
congrats — sounds like you're doing this for all the right reasons, and it sounds like you're doing this the right way!
Damn fine way to go ..I also have taken it to the limit and returned..I SALUTE YOU and all you have done..welcome to the success pages..I am here also. We are the walking talking proof it works..keep those fires of life burning my friend
GROK ON>>> The Daveman
Great company to be in Daveman! I am honored to be among such heroes.
WOW Hank that is incredible!! Congrats!
Thanks for all the encouragement. I will be tweeting tomorrow about the race. @lowcarbhank on twitter. I will be sure to let everyone know how it goes and post pics and stuff.
Way to go! You are truly an inspiration!
AWESOME transformation, Hank! Rock on in that race…if it's your first, it won't be your last. The sense of accomplishment will get you hooked!
Very impressive results! I love your website!
You Win! Congrats!
Oh my gosh…these stories are just amazing. I have got to fully commit to PB…I dream of having my own before and after story to share! Have a Grok weekend everyone!
Good luck in the 1/2 marathon Hank and congrats on the accomplishment.
Hats Off!!!!
Well if this doesn't convince me to fully commit to PB…what will? 🙂 Great job sir!
Absolutely outstanding results and write up. You are killing it man! Keep up the great work. Truly an inspiration.
wow-phenomenal change!
If anyone is interested,I had Mark as a guest on my podcast a few weeks ago. Here is the link http://mylowcarbjourney.com/2011/03/the-low-carb-journey-podcast-episode-22-featuring-mark-sisson/
Holy night! You're amazing! I don't know if I missed it in the comments but is your blog public?
Best wishes in your race tomorrow!
Amazing work! I am in awe.
You look so much healthier. Good luck for tomorrow!
What amazing success. And if you look back at it I am sure you will say it wasn't a restrictive diet but a great lifestyle change. But people want to insist that it is a "fad" or "diet choice" that doesn't work for all. But it works because it's true. Congratulations to you!
I love that you said "…just 6 MOUTHS ago." !! — I feel like I've had 6 mouths from the way I've eaten with the SAD Standard American Diet.
I'm eating strictly Primal for 55 days: I started on my wife's birthday April 22nd, and am looking forward to the progress on my birthday June 15th.
Thanks for sharing your story Hank!
Wow, that weight came off FAST. Congrats!
Great job! Keep up the good work, you look amazing, you have not only helped yourself but now you have added so many more years to your life and that equals so much more time with your family!
What a great story and even more amazing results. Thank you Mark for sending these to the community every week, and congratulations Hank for reaching two of your goals. Many more to come!
Ah Hank – that's fantastic! Good luck in your 1/2 tomorrow!
Wow. Stunning!! And by the way, you have a gorgeous little niece!
Bloody awesome mate!!!
Well done, you're an inspiration!!!!

Career-related internships have become a requirement for many competitive entry-level jobs. Summer internships also allow students to explore areas of interest, apply knowledge beyond the classroom, and discover new possibilities.
Internships with private sector companies are often paid positions, but those with non-profit organizations—in the arts, communications, international development and public policy, for example—rarely provide stipends. These are not an option for students receiving financial aid, who must contribute summer earnings to their college costs.
The College and the Challenging Women campaign have made additional internships a priority so that the full range of opportunities is available to all students. Thanks primarily to gifts and grants from alumnae and friends, the College is supporting more than 80 student internships this summer.
For a decade, the Bulletin has supplemented its print Reunion coverage with expanded reporting and additional photographs online. Now, thanks to Amanda Cegielski '09 and Diana Ekman '09, summer interns with Bryn Mawr's Summer Multimedia Development Institute (SMDI), the Alumnae Association website offers not only a traditional slideshow of Reunion images, but online audios and videos so that alumnae can sample highlights of the many lectures and presentations.
Associate Director of the Alumnae Association Diana Evans, who masterminds Reunion Weekend, met weekly with Cegielski and Ekman to go over content and design issues.
"I stressed the importance of a professional-grade final product to be used for external relations, and I haven't been disappointed," said Evans.
"This program is a terrific example of the collaborative partnership that Bryn Mawr offers students and professional staff, and I'm loving the opportunity to bring Reunion to a broader audience while giving our interns experience that can translate to professional portfolios and careers."
A photo taken by Cegielski is part of our cover montage, along with a vignette by Paola Nogueras '84, whose photos are featured in the Reunion story. (Patricia Crystal '09 worked as assistant to Nogueras.) Cegielski's original photo is shown below.
Links to audios and podcasts and photos are at www.brynmawr.edu/alumnae/reunion/photos.

I KEEP MY FRIENDS IN A BOX under the bed, categorized and separated, secured by blue rubber bands that originally held broccoli. One day I removed the lid and saw that they had all turned into little bones. I strung them together into a long strand that I looped around and around my neck.
TURNS OUT she wasn't really pregnant, just doing a number, needing someone to hold onto. Hell, I've been married four times, I sussed it out. Anyways, I cut her loose in Bismarck and got a job on a road crew. Saw a big gray wolf deep in a field of snow. He sniffed the air and was gone.
THERE IS A PLACE I visit, where no one else goes. The rocks are slippery and sharp, the drop to the dark sea below makes me dizzy. The sun never muscles its way through the gang of clouds that hover overhead shedding a mist that plasters my thin hair to my head, makes me turn up my collar. No, you can't go with me, I don't want a sandwich to take, thermos of hot chocolate, though your asking may keep me home.
THE FLOOR MANAGER cued him for the break. "When we return—a report on elder abuse." He stood and stretched, sat back down when the stylist came to fix his makeup, adjust his hair. "You're so handsome," she whispered as she dropped two pills into his waiting hand. "You're killing me," he said and put his hand on her ass.
I DON'T KNOW HOW she tracked me from Bismarck. Maybe she followed my scent. Anyway I was working in Waukesha putting up vinyl siding and I look down and there she is, looking up at me with a hand on the ladder. "Hey." "Hey." I was still a little pissed at that pregnancy bullshit she tried to pull, but there was something about the curve of her neck and that dumbass gap-toothed grin … Read More

When it came time to name this annual bike ride, organizers chose their words carefully. It reflects the upcoming event appropriately "" the Plain Wrap Ride.
"Corey McCroskey, owner of Coates Cyclery, came up with the idea for the name. You may remember shopping in the 1980s and 1990s for generic goods at grocery stores that were wrapped in white packaging with blue stripes and a plain font. That's what this ride is "" a simple no-nonsense, high-value event," said Greg Armstrong, long-time biking enthusiast and co-organizer of the ride.
The aim is to spotlight the physical and environmental benefits of bike riding while also raising awareness of several Inland Valley biking groups and donating to local charities.
"The idea was to put on a ride that provided the basics, a marked route, route map, vehicle support and a rest stop without all the frills and fanfare that escalates the costs. By doing this, we're able to keep the registration price low, $25 pre-registered and $35 the day of the event, and pass the most money possible on to worthy cycling-related charities and community outreach in the Inland Empire," Armstrong said.
Keeping costs low has allowed the organizers to give about two-thirds of the registration dollars back to the community. Armstrong said he and McCroskey have participated in and organized many local cycling events, but this one is a special one to both men.
"Cyclists generally ride for the joy of it and the physical fitness it facilitates. A ride like this gives them an opportunity to have a fun time and support a good cause," Armstrong said.
The Plain Wrap Ride supports the Kevin Unck Foundation (to provide relief for injured cyclists); the Cycling Connection's kid's bike giveaway; the Inland Empire Biking Alliance; Ride Yourself Fit's fourth annual children's safety ride; and the One More Move-Bike for Kids. Corporate/community supporters include Coates Cyclery, Citizens Business Bank, Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation and Doctor Handyman.
In fact, large organized cycling groups can get in on the philanthropic fun, too.
McCroskey said if any large group signs up together, then $10 of each $25 fee from each group participant will be given back to the cycling group so it can donate the money to a charity of its choice.
The Plain Wrap Ride is set for Saturday, May 18. It involves a metric century excursion and a half-century/fun ride. Both begin at Coates Cyclery at Foothill Boulevard and Towne Avenue in Pomona or specifically 760 E. Foothill Blvd.
The metric century will begin at 8 a.m. followed by the half-century/fun ride at 9 a.m.
The course will take riders along city streets and will winds itself around Frank G. Bonelli Park in San Dimas.
When the rides conclude, cyclists are encouraged to stick around and enjoy the festivities with fellow bikers. Two food trucks will be there to sell food, and those who are interested can purchase commemorative ride jerseys and t-shirts.
More and more bicyclists are out on the roads these days, and Armstrong said he hopes the community is watching. "When you're driving in your two-ton car or truck and passing within a few feet of a cyclist, we'd simply ask that you remember that most cyclists are responsible, obey the traffic laws and care about the community," he said.
McCroskey agreed.
"Unfortunately we're starting to see more cyclists being injured on bikes. Greg and I wanted to put together a ride that didn't cost too much but one that could raise money for those who got injured," McCroskey said.
"This is all about the ride and giving to cyclists who might need help. We're looking forward to riding together and having fun. Everyone who does this volunteers which has made it really great. We have a good group of people who just want to help. "
For information about the ride or sponsoring it, call 909-624-0612.

I had the ride of all rides with my son. It was the best ride of the summer!

This is the beauty of life – having a great time under the sun and enjoying the amazing scenery! I enjoyed seeing your photos. Keep on blogging!!
September 7, 2010, 12:39 pm
What a great looking trail. Where was it?
September 7, 2010, 2:35 pm
beautiful pictures! I love fresh blackberries – my mom used to grow them in the backyard and I loved just picking and eating them!
September 7, 2010, 2:51 pm
Gorgeous pictures, what a great bikeride! I love the clouds, especially in that first pic!
September 8, 2010, 7:51 am
We have wild blackberries all over the place (I'm just across the state from you) and they've disappointed us every time we've picked them no matter where we found them. Unless the kids are interested in eating some, we don't even bother with the wild ones any more. Were the ones you ate very flavorful?

Kayamandi has developed a detailed understanding of the marketplace and the factors that drive demand for tourism products and experiences to ensure that new products are not created simply because 'it seems to be a good idea', but because these new products are developed in the sure knowledge that markets for such products have been identified and quantified, and that such products will meet some or other specific market need.
Some of the essential components required for successful tourism development include knowledge of the market in terms of tourist demanded interest; knowledge of the supply of available tourism attractions, products, resources; comparative and competitive advantages with regards to intensifying subregional specialisation in the tourism sector; full appreciation of the needs and expectations of the primary and the niche markets; etc.
Tourism development and promotion requires unlocking the inherent development potential, whilst providing special attention to various opportunities within tourism routes and nodes in the tourism destination that should be exposed to historically disadvantaged communities and individuals, and how they may be encouraged to enter the industry as owners, operators, suppliers and related beneficiaries.
Areas of application include:
Tourism audits
Tourism datasets and websites
Tourism feasibilities and business plans
Tourism route development
Tourism development plans
Tourism master plans and strategies
Tourism marketing, branding and information dissemination
Update of Tourism Investment in Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and Dinokeng Gauteng Economic Development Agency projects

***All puppy lists are now closed for 2017.***
Due to high demand We no longer have space on our
waiting list for 2017/ early 2018
If you wish to be considered for one of our wolfalike litters in late 2018
or one of our
wolfdog litters in 2019 please drop us an email.
Our Kennel name "Honiahaka" is Cheyenne for " Little Wolf "
( Registered with the UK kennel club)
Welcome to our website
We are Tracey, & Andy we live on a small farm in Essex,
We have had wolfalike dogs since 2003
We are owned by some wonderful Northern Inuit Dogs - Anya, who is now 11 years old - One of our main girls and the ones who got us hooked on this breed, Sadly we lost her sister Saskia in 2013, Anya is now retired from having fur babies, and like many of us when we reach a certain age battles with her weight a bit too.
We kept one of Anya's pups from her 1st litter, lovingly known to us as "Moley" (Honiahaka Inuit Spirit) who stole my heart and soon became my soul mate and best friend. She ruled the roost and was a complete spoilt brat and a mummy's girl. Moley died suddenly in August 2016, and broke many a heart when she left us.
Adding to our ever increasing pack, we kept two pups from Saskia's 1st litter, Tiva (Honiahaka Tiva) and Bear (Honiahaka Snow Bear) who are both true stunners in their own right.Both are now retired from the breeding program, Tiva is still here with Us and bear now lives with our Friends who have horses at our stables.
We added a stud dog on board too known as Squims, who has turned out to be a true head turner and has done very well in the show ring. He is now a Northern Inuit Society Champion dog the second dog to ever get the title, his dad being the first . Mahlek Quimiq at Honiahaka has sired some of the loveliest NI puppies around. but is now retired from stud duties, and spends most of his time testing us and the pack to the limits.
We then added Lelou aka Louie (who was brought up by Moley) to our increasing pack, she is the image of Moley and has one of the lowest scoring hips in the Northern Inuit Society of just 0-0, she also has a 0-0 Elbow score too.
We then added another girl to the pack with different breeding lines, this was Koko her Brother played the part of a Dire Wolf pup in the recent HBO TV series "The Game of Thrones" and our stunning boy spirit is the grandsire who gave them the wolfie looks.
We are also Joint Owners of the lovely Squim's baby Shanti who has stunning bi-coloured eyes and is a real princess posh paws, shanti lives with our friend...
...and who could resist Kizzy (Honiahaka Kizzy Kon tikki) from Moley's 2nd Litter,she stole our hearts straight away so is here to stay ( Kizzy means stay put )
Mahklek Ochi Memorian bono fratre at Honiahaka AKA Ochi also joined the Honiahaka Pack and is so laid back he falls over !!! Siring some stunning puppies and doing very well in the show ring. Lovingly known as the dufus dog.
We also kept a girl from Moley's 3rd and final litter.She is our amazing wolfy girl with a temperament to die for .Honiahaka Kioku no kokoro no Kami AKA Kami , check out her page to see what her name means !. Kami has been a prolific show winner at most of the wolf a like breed shows, proving that no wolf content dogs can still out shine the wolf dogs, This girl has it all...Kami has been staring on the TV in adverts and small films this last few years.
2 more beauties joined our pack, the first being our most gorgeous dark timber girl Dream,( Honiahaka Dream a little Dream) a home-bred girl from Kizzy and Spirit, who lives up to her name, and is doing exceptionally well in the show ring, and has also been doing photography and film work this passed few years.
Next is our beautiful Hope, lovingly known as Kat (Machine Lady Sirius for Honiahaka) who has joined us from Machine Northern Inuits, she has the most amazing grey/yellow eyes and is very feline
2 More kids joined the ever increasing pack.. We were very lucky to be offered the chance of owning the most wolfest boy ever, and who could pass it up...Spirit aka Olderhill Alpha Winter's Sunset joined our pack and has sired the most amazing pups for us..We used spirit as a stud before we were offered him to live with us, Sadly Spirit passed away a week after moley and is now with the love of his life over the rainbow bridge.
Our homebred boy Yuri came to stay as his owner wasn't coping too well and stopped with us until he found the perfect home, yuri is jointly owned by us....Honiahaka Spirit of Destiny is a spirit and moley son and has gone on to sire some lovely pups.
Then along came Angel..( Honiahaka Miracle of Angels) .our true miracle baby, full younger sister to Dream and a real beauty.
This Dark beauty stole our hearts and what a stunner she has turned in to...Dreams daughter Elsa ( Honiahaka Tourmaline Dreams)
Them my mid life crisis struck and the American wolfdogs arrived, Stunning animals but not for the faint hearted and certainly not for your every day pet owner.
Meet Mona aka American Dreams for Honiahaka
And Troy Wylie Coyote at Honiahaka
Eden was the next to stay, a sweet wolf grey girl just like her mummy louie. Honiahaka Santa Baby. If Edens health results are good enough she will join our breeding program.
Lastly is our new boy Kootz, the first of our outcross litters, a stunning dark timber boy with a double helping of giant genes on both parents side.
Honiahaka Nova The Incredible Journey

I received a note the other day in my e-mail inbox informing me of a movie that would soon be released on DVD. I noted the title of the film and realized that it was still playing in one of the theaters in our town.The movie I'm referring to is Visions: From the Life of Hildegard of Bingen.
Now, my plan was to take my wife with me to this film, but she and my daughter were engaged in another endeavor. [Read more…]

First, I apologize because yesterday, in my article about Fr. Rutler, I inexplicably enter the name "Butler" not "Rutler" in the title of the piece. I suppose this mistake derived from watching a Downton Abbey rerun the night before!
Second, spotty posting today as I have to fly to Chicago to give a presentation. I hope to have some links up later in the day.

Democrats Review Christie's Tax-Cut Plan
Senate Democrats have received their first look at Gov. Chris Christie's plan to cut income taxes by 10 percent.
And those details confirmed their suspicions: the higher a resident's income, the bigger their proposed tax break.
David Rosen, the Legislature's chief budget officer, told the Senate Budget Committee on Monday that if Christie's proposal is enacted, the biggest winners will be the top 1.6 percent of taxpayers, who earn $500,000 or more.
For those residents, a 10 percent income tax reduction could amount to tens of thousands of dollars. A similar cut for low-income wage earners doesn't equal enough for a week of groceries.
Sen. Paul Sarlo, a Democrat who chairs the Budget panel, says a fairer proposal is to cut property taxes, which are the highest in the country.

IT IS the usual suspects who are commanding the attention from punters on the eve of the Melbourne Cup with increasing interest in the horses prepared by champion trainers Luca Cumani and two-time winner Dermot Weld.
Cumani saddles Mount Athos and My Quest For Peace, with Mount Athos attracting big bets with Centrebet in recent days. There was one bet on Mount Athos of $5000 at $9 while Weld's sole hope Galileo's Choice has continued to firm with many smaller bets of $1000 and $2000 between $41 and Sunday's $18.
''As the race gets closer, punters are starting to come back to the familiar faces,'' Centrebet's Michael Felgate said on Sunday.
''They figure that Luca Cumani has gone so close so many times that he's due to crack it and with Dermot, his runners are always well supported because of his reputation and for his two wins in the race.''
Both Mount Athos, which is the third favourite and Galileo's Choice are expected to be popular with punters on Monday at the annual Call Of The Card.
Cumani was confident he could add to his two placings and said on Sunday that he has made his most determined bid ever to win the Melbourne Cup this year. He said that his two runners were his best chances of winning the race.
He described his pair of stayers as ''the two strongest horses that I've brought'', comparing them to Purple Moon, which finished second in the 2007 Melbourne Cup behind Efficient.
''They're probably similar to Purple Moon,'' he said. ''He was a horse on the way up as well. He hadn't run in a group race before he came here and then he became a solid group 1 horse.''
My Quest for Peace heads to the Cup after finishing fifth in last month's Caulfield Cup, a result which drew some criticism. But not from Cumani.
''I thought he ran very well because we were a bit closer to the pace than we would have liked and, if you look at the first six throughout the race, the other five all finished out the back and he was the only one that was still there and was only beaten a length and three quarters in the end,'' he said. ''And I reckon he's come on from that race.''

Using Chili Peppers in Thai Cooking
Tags: cayenne, chipotle, habanero, Scotch Bonnet
The chili pepper is one of the most, if not the most, popular type of pepper used in Thai cooking. There is a large variety of chili peppers used in Thai cooking and each variety is used for a different reason or in a particular dish. The most popular of these peppers is the "prig kee nu" (Thai Chili Pepper) which is the shortest of the chili peppers (about 1″ in length) and comes in red and green colors. It is considered to be one of the hottest chili peppers used in Thai cooking.
When it comes to using the "prig kee nu" chili pepper in Thai cooking you will often find it in soups, stews, sauces and in Thai condiments. It is a great chili pepper to use in a variety of meat dishes, in Thai vegetable dishes and it's a wonderful chili pepper to use in seafood dishes.
The "prig kee nu" can be used from freshly picked peppers, easily found in most grocery store produce departments or you can purchase dried. Some cooks will use frozen "prig kee nu" peppers too. This is a great pepper for those of you who enjoy "heat" in your dishes and they should be handled carefully so that the oils contained in the pepper don't irritate your skin.
So next time you want to stir fry up some Asian noodles, grab a few of the Thai Chili Pepper's and spice up your dish

Just Rude
30 for 30: This is What they Want
Brian Kppleman, David Levien
Jimmy Connors, Patrick McEnroe, John McEnroe, Aaron Krickstein, Chuck klosterman, Howard Bryant, Mike Lupica, Patty Connors
(ESPN Films)
ESPN: 29 Oct 2013
"In every great story there is conflict, and such was the essence of Connors' charm. "
—Bruce Jenkins, "Twenty years later, Connors' 1991 Open run remains awe-inspiring."
"I was an asshole?" Jimmy Connors looks rather like an asshole when he asks this of his interviewer. Seated in a comfy chair in an elegant drawing room, with conventionally masculine décor (wooden, neat, with trophies on shelves), he makes his eyes wide and his face vague. Whether he means to emphasize the rhetorical nature of his question or look surprised, he makes a good show here, much as he's done throughout his career as a tennis player.
Connors' showmanship is the focus of This is What They Want, the latest entry in ESPN's 30 for 30 series, in particular the remarkable performance he managed for the 1991 US Open. He was old at the time, 38, a point noted more than once by announcers and interviewees as they offer their versions of what happened. The record of play is plain enough: he was ranked 174th as he entered the stadium at Flushing Meadows that August. Everyone knew he was finished, everyone but Connors. He went on to defeat one opponent after another, beginning with Patrick McEnroe in the first round, and including Michiel Schapers and Karel Novacek as well as Aaron Krickstein, with whom he did long and brutal battle on Connors' 39th birthday.
"I don't apologize for anything," says Connors, "Not now, never." Before Connors, Brian Kppleman and David Levien's film proposes, tennis had been a gentleman's game, a "weenie game." According to Mary Carrillo, "I believe that in my bones that he changed the perception of tennis." Okay, so maybe she's a bit too earnest, but the idea is not hers alone. A series of subjects concur: the transformation driven by Connors had to do with speed and strength, and also with identity, with the way the sport was perceived. Howard Bryant poses the question that others asked for years: "Why is he always getting in trouble?" But that background made for great backstory when, in 1991, he made a last run at the US Open, embodying what Bryant calls "one of the great narratives that we love in sports."
The start to that narrative is familiar: Connors was from "the wrong side of the tracks," born in East St. Louis in 1952, a player no one expected to see. His early triumphs were peppered with controversy—he refused to join the just started union, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in 1972. Following, he won his first Pro Singles title in 1973, and went on to win two Wimbledons, an Australian Open, and five US Opens (a tournament with which his name was associated). In New York, he seemed to fit, and also to appeal to fans who might not have known they were fans. In 1991, because Connors' run was so improbable, people were attending and cheering and hoping for miracles. Connors' former wife Patti, identified here as "Former Playboy Playmate," recalls the thrill of watching the tournament at home with their two kids, excited from afar. And, sportswriter Mike Lupica notes, "People who didn't give a rip about tennis were saying, 'I gotta watch jimmy Connors tonight!'"
Connors encouraged this interest, if not adulation. Throughout his career, he developed a deserved reputation for showmanship, playing to his audience, stalking the curt and pouncing and gesticulating and yelling, intimidating umpires, crushing rivals, delivering power balls, whether by his great slice of a forehand or daunting backhand: "He launched himself into his shots, says Martina Navratilova. Connors' ferocity is admired by many of the people who speak here, until it isn't.
At the 1991 Open, Lupica remembers, "He had what we all want, one more time." And he made the most of it. While Patrick McEnroe acknowledges his surprise that he lost to Connors in that first round, as he had been leading when his version of wheels came off, observers' comments range from awe to dismay. Jim Courier, who also played Connors in that tournament, asserts, "You gotta deal wit e moment." Bryant adds, "In tennis, you actually have to win the last point."
But despite such truisms, the match with Aaron Krickstein was something else. Longtime friends and sparring partners, their match was especially brutal. To this day, apparently, he feels repercussions, his professional tennis playing career done, now working as a pro at a country club (a job he never imagined he'd have, he says). When other interviewees learn that Connors has never "reached out" to Krickstein following this match, that the routing that wasn't supposed to be "personal", apparently was—or feels that way. "It was nothing personal," insists Connors, in his cozy chair. "It was business. My business is winning." Carrillo sighs, "Come on, that's just rude."

The Internet of Things picked up more steam this week with Google's purchase of Nest, a company that makes smart devices for the home, like thermostats, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.This acquisition should give Google lots and lots of new data about what people are doing in their homes. As worrying as that may be to some, I worry about it also going the other way: how much will my thermostat know about what I'm doing online?
Maybe I'm overthinking it. I won't worry about it for now. Happy MLK Jr. Day weekend!

Just back from the Crown: Crown Princess Cruise Review by Chris
Overall Member Rating
Just back from the Crown
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We are 2 couples in age range of 40's -50's. Our friends had a mini suite and this trip we did an inside on lido deck. I have always wanted to try a cabin on the lido deck to see if the location would be more benefical.- more about that later.
Ft Lauderdale. Made our precruise stop at total wine and publix to get a few items. We were at the cruise terminal very early-9:30. I know this is early- I would rather wait outside at the cruiseport than inside the hotel room
Embarkation- We received a number 1 boarding card at 10:30 we were shown inside to the waiting room. At 11:30 we were checked in and heading on the ship. My husband and friend ran up to Sanctuary to secure our seats for the week. My role was to book chef table and crown grill for last night. We were all successful with both and we all met for lunch and first cocktail. More Did the life boat drill and unpacked.
Dining- We thought the food for the most part was excellent. We requested the same table and waiter each night at 7:30. Our waiter was Johnny from Peru and asst Elvis. They did an excellent and professional job serving our wine and meals. I had fish almost every evening and all of it was excellent. My husband and our friend had a surf and turf quest for the week and were able to accomplish this every night. We were charged a corkage fee for every bottle of wine. We were aware of the corkage fee- but they were very diligent about it this trip. In the future we will probably not bring our wine but just purchase on board. The wine prices are within reason. Soups were a little salty, and we noticed the size of the caesar salad has gotten smaller. The rack of lamb was excellent. We did Sabatini's the second night- it was good but the guys found the veal chops a little tough. I had seabass it was excellent and we all enjoyed the appetizers. The coffee in Sabatini's tasted like a brew basket. Did the chef's table and it was wondeful service and food. Last evening crown grill- had special bottles of Opus one ordered ahead of time. We had wonderful service and beautiful cheeses served witht the wine. Food and service excellent. Neville the maitre de stopped in check on our dinner. We found him extremely visable all over the ship.
We did purchase coffee card and made full use of it.
Room- As i said earlier we tried an inside on the lido deck- we thought the location would be great- close to sanctuary and gym. The location is great - but every night something woke us up- like they were dragging carts across the floor above us. My husband went up and found they clean the mens locker rooms and the mop bucket was dragging on the tile floor. Princess was great they offered us another room outside on another deck. We did not move- but figured we would see if it happend again. It did but later - at 5:30. So I am guessing they asked the mopping to happen later in his shift. I was pleased with the way Princess attended to our needs. My husband enjoyed being close to steam room and gym. I did take 2 spin classes. They were good and made me feel like i did a little exercise.
Sanctuary- We love it and it is worth it to us.
Ports-Grand Cayman we took a cab to Royal Palms- we are early risers and were on the beach at 7:30 It was lovely to have the beach to ourselves. At lunch we shared an order of fish tacos and a beer. Excellent beach food and water was warm and clean. Purchased our rum cakes. Great day.
Roatan- We missed this port due to wind and seas- we had a beach day booked with Rony.
Cozumel-Took a cab to chakanaab park. Again we arrived early and enjoyed snorkle. It did get crowded and we left around 1:00. Did a little shopping and back on the ship. Had a cheeseburger - not great but ok after a day at the beach. Princess Cays- we stayed in the sanctuary.
Disembarkation- off the ship at 7:05 at the airport and through security at 8:00 plenty of time to make our 10:30 flight.
Summary- This was a great trip. The thing about cruises is that you can make it the trip that appeals to you. We enjoy relaxing, beach, food and wine. We are not into late night or pool games- but if you want that it is there. We did purchase future cruise credits and will either do the crown or ruby next spring. Less

Who is to Blame for Falcons Collapse?
The Falcons collapse resulted in a lot of finger pointing after the fact, especially directed towards offsensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Atlanta ran the ball only 5 times once they went ahead, drove themselves out of field goal range with costly penalties on questionable play calls, and so much more went wrong.
Mike Florio joined The Dan Patrick Show today and broke down where the blame should actually be pointed. Dan Quinn is a name you haven't heard a lot about today, but that might change soon. Listen below.
You can hear The Dan Patrick Show every weekday from 9-12 noon est. on Fox Sports Radio.

On Monday afternoon, the Palestinians destroyed officially whatever was left of the concept of a peace process with Israel.
When PA Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas signed a deal with Hamas terror-master Khaled Mashaal in Doha, Qatar, the notion that there is a significant segment of Palestinian society that is not committed to the destruction of Israel was finally and truly sunk.
But before the ink on the agreement had a chance to dry, the peace processors were already spewing bromides whose sole purpose was to deny this inarguable conclusion. Both the Obama administration and the EU claimed that the agreement is an internal Palestinian issue. The EU actually welcomed the deal.

Frequently asked questions: Tornadoes
Q: What is a tornado?
A: A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from
a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous
destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Damage paths can be in excess
of one mile wide and 50 miles long. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported
Q: What are the numbers, such as F2 or F5, that are often used to describe
A: The numbers are ratings of tornado wind speed. USATODAY.com text on the
Fujita tornado intensity scale describes
this scale.
Q: How do twisters form?
A: Most tornadoes come from thunderstorms, although some of the weaker ones
form in cumulus clouds that are large and growing, but haven't become thunderstorms.
Any tornado is a swirl of air that's rising into its parent cloud. Scientists
are still trying to work out the details of what supplies the twisting motion.
USATODAY.com has text explaining the basics
of tornadoes that should help answer some of your questions. Then you could
check our tornado index for links
to more information, both at USATODAY.com and outside sources. We have another
index to the Vortex Project, a major tornado
research effort. You could also go to our graphic on supercell
thunderstorms, which are the source of the strongest tornadoes.
Q: How long do tornadoes last?
Tornadoes can last from a few seconds to more than an hour. They might remain
on the ground for just a few yards or for more than 100 miles. On average, tornadoes
move from the southwest to the northeast at about 30 mph. However, as the killer
Jarrell, Texas, tornado of May 27, 1997,
showed, tornadoes can defy these averages. The "F-5"
tornado that killed 27 people when it churned through a Jarrell subdivision
moved southwest at only 10 mph. Tornadoes have been known to move in any direction
at speeds up to 70 mph. Some have sat nearly stationary for several minutes.
But, it is unusual for tornadoes to change speed and direction during their
Q: Where is Tornado Alley located?
A: The term "Tornado Alley" refers to the region of the USA where
tornadoes occur most frequently, and there is controversy on just where it is.
The term is used loosely because there are no exact boundaries. Generally, the
term refers to the region on the Great Plains extending from central Texas north
to the Canadian border. However, tornadoes are also frequent in other parts
of the country. Tom Grazulis of the Tornado Project, says the USA has at least
three tornado alleys. These include the Great Plains from Texas north to Minnesota.
Another extends from Arkansas and Louisiana east to the Carolinas. A third lies
in the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes region, from Illinois to western
Pennsylvania. Smaller regions including the Florida peninsula and Massachusetts
also see many tornadoes. Grazulis has much more on this in his book The Tornado:
Nature�s Ultimate Windstorm.
Q: What time of the year are tornadoes most likely to occur?
A: For the U.S., May averages the most tornadoes, but over the years, April
has had more deadly twisters. But they can happen just about any time of the
year. Tornadoes are likely in the Southeastern states in the late winter and
early spring. By mid-April they are more likely to occur on the southern and
central Plains and on the northern Plains later in the spring and early summer.
USA TODAY online has links to quite a bit of information about tornadoes, including
links to historical information, in our tornado
index. The index also includes a link to a National Weather Service Storm
Prediction Center site with state-by-state records if you want more detail.
Q: Can tornadoes go over hills or even mountains?
A: Hills or mountains do not offer tornado protection. One of the most dramatic
cases that shows this was the F-4 tornado that hit the Teton Wilderness about
45 miles northeast of Jackson, Wyo., on July 21, 1987. As noted by Thomas P.
Grazulis in his book Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991, the tornado went
over mountains as high as 10,000 feet, blowing down mostly mature lodgepole
pines from 80 to 100 feet tall. USATODAY.com has more information about tornadoes
being hidden by hills or trees.
Q: Can there be a tornado after dark?
A: Tornadoes frequently occur after dark. Much of the time, the thunderstorms
that spawn tornadoes grow during the afternoon. They often reach their peak
and begin creating tornadoes late in the afternoon. Once they begin, tornadoes
can last well into the evening, sometimes until after midnight. Tornadoes have
even hit in the very early morning, although this is rare. The deadly tornado
that struck Camilla, Georgia on Feb. 13 and 14, 2000, hit after dark. You'll
find links to stories and other information about these events in our index
to the weather and climate
of 2000. Our tornado index has
links to general information about tornadoes.
Q: Which way does the tornado rotate?
A: This is a bit of a trick question because it depends where you are. According
to the latest tornado research, 99 percent of all tornadoes in the Northern
Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But tornado chasers and scientists have
seen, photographed and videotaped clockwise spinning tornadoes north of the
equator. The high percentage is probably the same for clockwise spinning tornadoes
in the southern Hemisphere, with only a small number of tornadoes on that side
of the globe spinning counterclockwise.
Winds in the atmosphere that spin the giant thunderstorms that spawn the most
violent tornadoes govern which way they spin. The storms mostly spin counterclockwise
north of the equator, resulting in the majority of tornadoes rotating counterclockwise.
But occasionally, a big thunderstorm might spin in the opposite direction, spinning
up clockwise tornadoes. The opposite happens in the Southern Hemisphere, with
giant thunderstorms spinning mainly clockwise.
You can find out more about these big storms online; they are called "supercell"
thunderstorms. For more about tornadoes, including the other kinds of tornado-like
vortices that exist, visit our Understanding
tornadoes page.
Q: There appears to be a great deal of information available about what
makes a tornado start, but what makes them stop?
A: A tornado is defined as a strongly rotating column of air attached to the
base of a thunderstorm and extending to the ground.
Simply, tornadoes spin up beneath thunderstorms, and thunderstorms need a good
supply of humid air to stay alive. But this moist flow doesn't last forever
and can easily be disrupted by other storms, or even the storm itself when rain
falls and spreads cool air ahead of the storm. Without the updraft of warm humid
air, the tornado's spiraling winds unravel and weaken, and it falls apart.
Movies of tornadoes in the past two decades have been extensively studied and
most researchers agree on the tornado life cycle: formation stage, organization
stage, mature stage, shrinking stage and decaying stage. The tornado begins
to decay as the whirling column of air is stretched into a very thin tube. This
is often referred to as the rope stage, when the tornado becomes very thin and
begins "roping out." It's thought to occur when the burst of rain-cooled air
on the storm's backside wraps around the storm and cuts off the warm, humid
air flowing in.
In the early 1980s, researchers roaming the southern Plains to study the thunderstorms
that spawn the biggest tornadoes discovered that large, rotating thunderstorms
called "supercells"
can spawn tornadoes one after another, in cycles. The rotating updraft that
feeds the supercell warm, humid air is known as a "mesocyclone;" meso- meaning
relatively small meant the mesocyclone was like a miniature storm system, with
fronts and central low pressure.
They found that as a supercell evolves, the mesocyclone would form and mature,
then begin to weaken. During this weakening, a new mesocylclone would form,
in similar fashion to the formation of an area of low pressure on a stationary
front. Tornadoes might spin up beneath each intensifying mesocyclone.
Beyond these observations, however, there is not a lot understood about how
exactly tornadoes form, grow and die. Tornado researchers are still trying to
solve the tornado puzzle, but for every piece that seems to fit they often uncover
new pieces that need to be studied
USATODAY.com's tornado
research section has more detail about various tornado research projects
during the 1990s. These include the 1994-95 VORTEX project, the 1997 Sub-VORTEX
project, and 1998's Sub-VORTEX-RFD and ROTATE projects.
Check back with USATODAY.com Weather this spring as severe weather season heats
up and new tornado research projects get underway.
Q: Why don't tornadoes hit big cities?
A: Tornadoes do hit such areas. But, as you can see when you take an airplane
trip anywhere in the U.S., built-up areas make up only a small part of the country.
Tornadoes are small compared with other kinds of storms and are really pretty
rare. The odds are that they will hit open land more often than cities because
there is a lot of open land. Also, some of the most built-up parts of the U.S.
such as the Northeast Coast and along the California Coast are places where
strong tornadoes are rare because the general weather conditions aren't as favorable
as they are in the Southeast, on the Plains and in the Midwest.
The tornado myths
section (second question down) on the Tornado
Project on the Web site has more information. A USATODAY.com graphic shows
the conditions needed for tornadoes.
Q: What would happen if two tornadoes were to merge? Would they become one
large tornado? Or cancel out each other's energy?
A: Since it is not known how often tornadoes merge, nor is it known except
in one or two cases what happened afterward based on resulting damage, that
is a difficult question to answer. What's known is that in at least one well-documented
case, a weakening tornado merged with a developing tornado, vaulting the developing
tornado to violent status. On March 13, 1990, a violent tornado, rated F5 on
the six-tier Fujita
tornado intensity scale, struck Hesston, Kan. As the Hesston tornado was
roping out, or about to die, a new tornado spun up nearby under the same thunderstorm.
As the new tornado grew, the Hesston tornado was pulled into it. Video of the
merger showed the new tornado quickly expand in size and its damage pattern
widened and became more severe shortly after. The new tornado was just as strong
as the Hesston tornado when it struck Goessel, killing two people.
Q: Does El Niño play a part in tornado development?
Only indirectly. El Niño is a large-scale ocean feature that influences
weather patterns on a global scale. The formation of thunderstorms and tornadoes
is largely influenced by small-scale, features such as surface fronts,
drylines and outflow boundaries
or "gust fronts," which blow out and downwind from thunderstorms. El Niño
influences the jet stream patterns
aloft and energizes the storms that follow these upper-air patterns, especially
the subtropical jet stream across or south
of the southern USA. El Niño-bred storms are generally stronger and move
east at lower latitudes than normal, which can lead to more frequent occurrences
of the small features that stir up tornadoes. But, El Niño itself does
not produce thunderstorms or tornadoes.
Q: Please tell me about suction vortices. Do they occur only in F4 - F5
tornadoes? Or maybe is there only 1 in F1 - F2 tornadoes? Are they the same
as multiple vortices? Are they the ones causing the destruction or is it something
A: The most violent tornadoes,
F4s and F5s on the Fujita tornado intensity scale,
often spawn multiple vortices while spiraling around a central axis of the parent
tornado's vortex. Multiple vortices are very rare in F1-F3 tornadoes. The individual
vortices in a multiple vortex tornado are indeed called suction vortices. A
USA TODAY online graphic has more information
on multiple vortex tornadoes.
Q: What are the characteristics of a "wedge" tornado?
A: The Storm Prediction Center's Frequently Asked Questions about tornadoes
Web site describes "wedge" tornadoes as those that appear to be at
least as wide as they are tall. This slang term is used by storm observers to
describe tornado shape and appearance between the ground and the base of the
thunderstorm cloud. Since cloud base in a tornadic thunderstorm is about one
or two thousand feet, that would make a wedge tornado at least a quarter- to
a half-mile wide, capable of destruction over a wide area. But, while wedge
tornadoes can be, and many times are, ferocious, SPC cautions that tornado size
says nothing about strength.
"Some very large tornadoes over a quarter-mile wide have produced only
weak damage of F0 to F1" on the Fujita
tornado damage scale, SPC asserts. The Fujita Scale ranks tornadoes by the
damage they produce on an increasing scale from F0 to F5.
SPC's main Web page has a
variety of photos of tornadoes. Click reload on the page to cycle through them.
Q: Are a tornado and a cyclone the same?
A: Scientists use the words to describe two different weather phenomena. But,
in many parts of the USA the words "cyclone" and "tornado" have been used for
what scientists call tornadoes. This use of "cyclone" to describe a tornado
is dying out, but some people still use it. People still talk about "cyclone
cellars" when they refer to the tornado shelters often found on Plains farms.
Scientists use "cyclone" to refer to any kind of weather system with winds swirling
around and into a low-pressure
center. These include hurricanes, winter storms and tornadoes. Our tornado
information index has a lot of information on what tornadoes are.
Q: I would like to become a tornado chaser. How do I start?
A: First, don't think of doing what the "chasers" in the movie Twister
did, such as driving across fields and into tornadoes. In fact, no one should
think of trying to chase storms without learning a lot about them. You will
find a lot of information about tornado chasing and links to more by going to
the USATODAY.com storm
chasing guide. A book that anyone interested in chasing should get is The
Tornado: Nature�s Ultimate Windstorm by Tom Grazulis, published by the University
of Oklahoma Press in 2001..
Q. Are there different kinds of tornadoes?
A: Some tornadoes may form during the early stages of rapidly developing thunderstorms.
They spin up when an storm's updraft picks up a low-level spinning vortex and
tilts up upward. It then stretches it making it spin faster. These types of
tornadoes are most common along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, in the
Plains and the Western states. They are called "landspouts" because they look
and form much like waterspouts. See the next question for more about waterspouts.
Q: Why does the sky sometimes turn green during
thunderstorms, especially tornadic storms?
A: First, you can't count of the sky turning green before a tornado and sometimes
the sky turns green when no tornado occurs. Exactly why some thunderstorms turn
green is still an open question. A USATODAY.com story on Theories
on why some thunderstorms are green covers what is and isn't known about
green thunderstorms.
Q: Is a waterspout a tornado that lost all its energy sucking water up into
the clouds?
A: The usual definition of a waterspout is that it's a tornado over the water,
but as with many things in meteorology, it's more complicated than this. A tornado
that goes over a lake or other water doesn't lose energy by lifting water because
waterspouts don't suck up water people used to think they did. Click
here for more on waterspouts.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hi, Tom here,
Does the main blower start when you restart the furnace??
Ok, just to clarify,,
If you remove the front panel on your furnace, you should see a small blower motor about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, connected to the exhaust pipe on your furnace. It is the first thing to run on a call for heat and should run the entire time the burner is on.
The main blower is at the bottom of the furnace and is quite large and supplies air to the vents in your house. It should start after the burner lights and run for a minute or two after the burner shuts off.
Just need a little more info...I think we'll get it figured out.
The main blower continues to run after the burner shuts down. The fan is set to auto. The house sometimes gets up to set point. Thanks.
Ok, here is what it sounds like is going on.
IF the heat exchanger in the furnace gets too hot, a hi limit sensor shuts off the main burner AND energizes the blower relay on the control board to keep your fan running until the heat exchanger has returned to a safe temperature.
The hi limit control looks something like this:
It is located in the front section of the furnace behind the gas valve.
The problem is usually a lack of air flow through the furnace.
This can be caused by a dirty furnace filter, too many vents shut off in the house, or a dirty A coil. (The A coil is the A/C coil that sits on top of the furnace that provides cold air in cooling mode, assuming you have central air). Over the years dirt and pet hair (if you have one) can accumulate on the bottom side of the coil and reduce air flow to the point where the high limit acts up.
Check the airflow out of your vents to see if you have a strong airflow or seems weak, you have to get your hand close to vent to feel airflow.
The other possibilities that cause this could be a slight crack or hole in the heat exchanger causing flue gas to go into the air stream around the limit sensor. This is a serious problem and should be checked out by a tech. One way to tell if you have a crack is to look at the burner flames on your furnace. You should have stable blue flames shooting into the heat exchanger. If one or more of them suddenly change, burn back or become disturbed when the main blower kicks in you probably have a problem in the heat exchanger and need to have it checked immediately.
Last, you may simply have a defective hi limit sensor. For testing purposes ONLY, you can remove the two wires, (usually red) and temporarily hook them together to see if it turns the fan off. Although it is only 24 volts going to the wires, make sure power is off if you try jumping them and make sure your jumper doesn't touch any metal in the furnace or you'll likely cause more problems.
If you are not comfortable trying any of these suggestions, by all means get a qualified furnace guy back out there. A hi limit fault is serious as it indicates an overheat condition and needs to be rectified.
Check the simple stuff first. (filter, airflow).
I hope it turns out to be minor. Feel free to reply with follow up questions. Thanks.
Thanks for your suggestions. We don't have any questions now. Thanks for your help!
OK, thank you for the accept. Let me know if you have more questions. You can reply to this thread without clicking on accept.
Thanks, Tom

God these look absolutely gorgeous. The track design looks amazingly creative, probably the best in a kart racer yet, and the game looks visually stunning. You could tell me this was a PS4 game and I would believe you, because of how amazing it looks.
Mario Kart 8 is out in May, and this is hyping me up. Are you gonna get it?
EDIT: Here's another batch:

Integrating and Supporting Digital Production
Several years ago, the Book Stacks Reorganization Task Force recommended that the Library create a folio storage area. Over the past several years, the Preservation and Conservation Program invested significant resources in providing protective enclosures for stacks folios in preparation for the move proposed by the Book Stacks Reorganization Task Force. Unfortunately, the recommended creation of a folio storage area was never executed.
As part of the new service model programs the stacks services planning team recommended that the library plan to better house and manage the folio and mini collections in the Stacks. The team further recommended that the Library charge a task force with completing an evaluation of all folios currently housed in the Main Stacks to identify and develop an appropriate shelving location, that the Main Stacks dispose of the free-standing units that obstructed traffic along the Main Stacks' exterior aisles, and that all bottom shelving in the second addition of Oak St. not occupied by flat storage be reserved for additional map or folio storage needs. Lastly, for preservation reasons, folios should be restricted to in-building circulation only. In addition to the folios, miniature volumes shelved within the Main Stacks should be assessed for quantity and appropriateness of management as RBX/RBOS items.
The Executive Committee approved this agenda and the following recommendations have been made by the subcommittee:
The folios currently located in the Stacks will ultimately be housed on Deck 5 East in the fifth addition (located just before the entrance to the west stacks). Shelves will be arranged in a way similar to the RBML configuration, with a limited number of items per shelf. As this initiative is a lower priority than other current projects taking place in the stacks such as the creation of a retrospective reference collection and the relocation of serials to Oak St, the implementation of this recommendation will be gradual and take advantage of time and resources as available. In the meantime, the Art and Architecture Library will review the items in this category in order to identify items appropriate for relocation to Oak St. Each free standing folio cabinet will be removed from the stacks as it is emptied.
Once relocation of the folios has begun relocated, Central Access Services will begin the process of identifying and retrofitting existing private study spaces to create both open studies for the review of these materials and an area that can be equipped with a camera stand to serve individual users.
The initial recommendation that Folios be moved to a building use only status was endorsed by the membership, but to balance the need to protect them from theft or damage with the need to have these materials accessible to scholars prior to their relocation to a central area with adequate facilities for use and duplication , we recommend that this change in circ status not take place until the materials currently occupying the proposed space are removed, the shelving is adjusted, and the items are transferred into the space.
The miniature volumes are shelved in the Deck 5 front area in the east stacks on shelves that are not suitable for large volumes. Since these miniature volumes do not take up much space, are not in the way of other items, and do not fit the selection criteria for the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, it was determined that the best course of action at this time is to leave these volumes in place.

FLORENCE – The Francis Marion University Art Gallery Series presents "Useful Pots: Thrown and Altered Works in Clay," by Lori Leary.
The pottery will be exhibited Oct. 19-Nov. 24, in the Hyman Fine Arts Center gallery. The exhibit is free and open to the public from Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Leary, a potter for eleven years, maintains a studio in Murrells Inlet. A graduate of Georgia State University with a degree in nursing, Leary has studied ceramic arts in Charleston at the Bethune Arts Center and at the Gibbes Museum Studio, at The Art Center in Norfolk, and at the University of California-San Diego Craft Center.
Leary is currently developing and teaching a clay program for adults and children through the Georgetown County Parks and Recreation Commission. She has taught in Charleston, San Diego, and most recently at Brookgreen Gardens. In 1998, Leary co-founded Arts by Fire, an organization for individuals whose interests, talents, or careers are focused on art produced with the use of fire. Her work may be found in private collections and in local galleries.
"Mastery of the scientific, technical and observational skills required for the creation of works in clay is an essential element of my work, as is the appreciation of works created in the past. My art is created by combining craftsmanship, knowledge, aesthetic vision, and the often capricious nature of the process and materials, as well as by acknowledging, respecting, and building upon work that has been done by past generations," Leary said. "My intent is to create works that speak for themselves in unique, beautiful, and elegant voices."

We got a medium for our 25lb terrier. It's stretchy so it is very easy to put on. We love the design and dusty has received many compliments on it. Only slight downside is that it's getting a tad fuzzy. But then again, Dusty likes to rub against every bush/tree outside so I can say I blame the sweater. Great buy! I bought another one for our family dog.
Really cute but sizing was off and larger was out of stock. Good value though.
