Hohner selects ARC for project
Citizen Staff Reports 10/06/12
Hohner, Inc, recently selected the Greater Richmond ARC to package more that 5,000 Blues Band harps for sale nationwide in music outlets. This is the third year that Hohner, a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of musical instruments with its U.S. headquarters in Richmond, has selected ARC (a not-for-profit organization that serves people with developmental disabilities) for a project.
The work is being carried out by adults with special needs in ARC's Industrial Services program (including John Gentry, pictured). Providing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities is especially critical as employment opportunities are fewer for those with disabilities than for those without, says the organization.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve Hohner while providing training and work for individuals with developmental disabilities," added ARC's director of business development, Michael Foley.

One of the biggest banks in America is making its ATMs smarter.
Wells Fargo is unveiling a redesigned ATM interface that will track your transaction history to offer a personalized experience when you swipe your debit card at one of the bank's machines. While the interface is currently available at a few hundred of the bank's machines, it will be on all of the 12,000-plus Wells Fargo ATMs by May.
Rather than a traditional ATM screen that asks what you want to do, Wells Fargo will use your frequent banking activities to predict your needs. If you typically make $60 withdrawals from your joint checking account, that will be one of your primary options. If you normally make deposits to your savings account, that will be one of your primary options, too.
"The ATMs really know you better," says Alicia Moore, head of Wells Fargo ATM Banking.
With more knowledge comes more speed, and it seems like the interface will knock off some of the waiting time at a cash machine.
In addition to saving time, the interface comes with a tool designed to help account holders manage their money more effectively. With the ability to set a monthly withdrawal target, you can preprogram how much you're hoping to take out of your account in any given month. The bank's ATM Cash Tracker feature will keep you updated on whether you're adhering to your cash withdrawal limits.
On a note unrelated to budgeting your money, Wells Fargo also displays a "Happy Birthday" message for account holders who decide to celebrate their big days by making trips to the ATM. (If only the message featured the bank's CEO singing to account holders, that ATM trip could be a real party.)
What do you think of the new ATM interface? Have you seen other banks offering any kind of personalization on ATMs?

Steven Spielberg at the 50th New York Film Festival. Photo: Godlis
Oscar-winning and recently nominated director/producer Steven Spielberg will serve as Jury President of the 66th Festival de Cannes. He'll take over the reins from Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti who served in the position last year. The announcement was initially made via the festival's Twitter account.
In his 40-year career, Spielberg has made 27 films, many of which are important moments in the history of cinema: from early works like Jaws (1974) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1975) to Saving Private Ryan (1998), Minority Report (2002), Catch Me If You Can (2002), and the recent The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn (2011), his first film in 3D. He received his seventh Oscar nomination for last year's Lincoln, which earned Daniel Day-Lewis the Best Male Lead Actor win last Sunday. Schindler's List (1993), gave Spielberg the Best Director Oscar.
"The memory of my first Cannes Film Festival, nearly 31 years ago with the debut of E.T. is still one of the most vibrant memories of my career," said Spielberg in a statement. "For over six decades, Cannes has served as a platform for extraordinary films to be discovered and introduced to the world for the first time. It is an honor and a privilege to preside over the jury of a festival that proves, again and again, that cinema is the language of the world."
"Steven Spielberg accepted in principle two years ago," noted Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate of the Festival. "He was able to make himself available this year to be the new Jury President and when meeting him these last few weeks it has been obvious he's excited about the job. Because of his films, and the many causes he holds dear, he's year-in year-out the equal of the very greatest Hollywood filmmakers. We are very proud to count him among us."

Stupid Chart Tricks?
|Icom M602 VHF
The modern high-end VHF is highly digital and multifunctional, as handsomely illustrated in Icom's M602. First off, the 602 is a Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) radio, meaning that it has a second receiver that is constantly monitoring DSC distress and hailing channel 70, even while you're on another channel. Note that the U.S. Coast Guard is not yet officially standing watch on 70, but did just ink a $600-million contract to totally rebuild its communications system, and many ships are listening.
The 602 has a keypad for rapid channel selection and DSC operations and a 22-watt hailer/fog horn and can support two full-function remote CommandMics, either of which can intercom back to the base unit. Interestingly, the 602 can output DSC caller position data in a NMEA format that Icom is willing to share with any plotter or PC charting developer interested in displaying such locations; let's hope (and ask) that they all enable this useful feature. The 602's suggested list price is $900, and its four- by eight-inch face matches Icom's 802 digital SSB radio, which just won the NMEA Product of the Year award.

Specialist lawyers on call
With regulatory scrutiny on the rise, overseaslisted Chinese firms are increasingly in need of cross-border legal representation. To address this trend – which reflects the massive regional personnel realignments in reaction to mainland growth – DLA Piper has formed its China Securities Litigation Rapid Response Team, a multi-jurisdictional group of litigators and former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement attorneys. "Many of these lawyers are multilingual, and have practised in multiple countries," says Christopher Clarke, the Hong Kong partner for the team. He swaps e-mails with Rick Gangwani.
What is the role of the team?
It's a cross-border team whose role is to respond at very short notice on behalf of a specific category of clients - typically US-listed companies, Hong Kong-listed companies and reverse takeover (RTO) firms - when they are subject to attacks by short-sellers, Securities and Exchange Commission [of the United States] and Securities and Futures Commission [of Hong Kong] and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority or US class-action lawsuits.
Why the need for a 'rapid response'?
Over the last few months, there has been an enormous increase in the number of short selling attacks on RTOs and, more recently, US and Hong Kong-listed companies.
The management and board of directors of these companies need urgent advice, very often on a number of different issues simultaneously.
Can you speculate on the reasons for the increase in such attacks against mainland companies listed on stock exchanges overseas?
A lack of understanding on the part of management of these companies for the need for good corporate governance, transparency and accuracy of information; a lack of experience in running and managing listed companies; and an increase in the evidence of fraud with some companies.
What skill sets are required to be part of such a team?
A good understanding of corporate governance issues, class-action lawsuits, and regulations affecting listed companies. Specialised investigation capability is also required, as is language and local knowledge.
How do the team's services differ from those of other practices?
We are one of the few firms with specialist lawyers - with local knowledge - and with the bench strength to respond to these short-selling attacks simultaneously in different jurisdictions.
Do you foresee the need for additional forms of regulatory services?
Definitely, [largely due to] expanded anti-bribery laws and competition. The Office of Foreign Assets Control and now the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act [of the US] are good examples [of where services may be needed].
Also, on cross-border data-privacy issues.
What kind of expertise is required to address this need?
A good understanding of these foreign laws and how they impact locally and expertise in the relevant jurisdictions.
You need to have lawyers with the practical experience of doing similar work in different jurisdictions so you can have the best of both worlds.
For example, a team that has experience in handling China-related anti-bribery issues, staffed with lawyers who have also handled similar cases in different countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore and US, would be ideal.

Shares of Karuturi Global Limited (KGL.NS) have seen the needle move -3.33% or -0.05 in the most recent session. The NSE listed company saw a recent bid of $1.45 on 107297 volume.
As many veteran investors have already seen, market movements are extremely hard to accurately predict. Financial news outlets are always producing headlines and offering predictions for future market performance. Sometimes the predictions are right, and sometimes the predictions are wrong. Investors may have a hard time separating fact from fiction when it comes to bullish and bearish sentiment. Adjusting the portfolio based strictly on headlines can be tempting for the amateur investor. Filtering out the noise and focusing on the pertinent data can help keep the individual focused and on track. Straying from the plan and basing investment decisions on news headlines may lead to portfolio confusion down the road. Crunching the numbers and paying attention to the important economic data can greatly help the investor see through the smoke when markets get muddled.
Taking a deeper look into the technical levels of Karuturi Global Limited (KGL.NS), we can see that the Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -40.00. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
Karuturi Global Limited (KGL.NS) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 3.75. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, Karuturi Global Limited's 14-day RSI is currently at 50.74, the 7-day stands at 47.32, and the 3-day is sitting at 15.55.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Karuturi Global Limited (KGL.NS) is sitting at 3.52. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
When dealing with the volatility and unpredictability of the stock market, investors may have to learn how to deal with their emotions. There are many factors that can have a big impact on the portfolio. Maintaining discipline can be one of the most important factors. From time to time, investors will be overcome by fear during a large market selloff. On the other side, investors may become extremely excited during a widespread market move to the upside. When these situations occur, investors tend to make better decisions if they are able to keep emotions out of play and stick to the original plan. Buying and selling at the wrong time can lead to portfolio underperformance, and it may damage investor confidence in the future.

The San Marin High football team prepared for its game against Tam on Saturday as if its season was on the line. Then the Mustangs went out and played that way, too.
The Mustangs, with what coach Dan Hickey called his team's best effort of the season, upended the Red-tailed Hawks 30-24 when Jason Shannon hauled in a touchdown pass in the extra session and then stymied Tam's final chance to tie or win with an interception in the end zone.
"I haven't played corner(back) since sophomore year," said Shannon, who also had a 27-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. "When they put me there, I was nervous, but I knew I could get the job done."
For San Marin (4-6, 4-3) — which was already eligible for the North Coast Section Division IV playoffs but far from assured a postseason berth before Saturday — Shannon's two overtime plays were among several giant efforts for the Mustangs against the Hawks (6-3, 3-3).
One play before Shannon's interception, for example, San Marin's Luis Morales broke up a pass into the end zone intended for Haynes Stephens — even if both Morales and Stephens thought the play could have resulted in a pass interference call against Morales. Then there was the work of Kyle Chernoff, who helped the Mustangs limit Tam's opportunities with 36 carries for 116 yards. And Wilkins chipped in with two rushing touchdowns, two passing touchdowns and a field goal.
"You know, we've got a lot of positivity going on lately," said Wilkins, who overcame an early fumble in his own end zone that resulted in a touchdown for Tam. "We're starting to become closer as a team and a football team is supposed to be a family. And these are my brothers. And they kept me up and I knew not to get down on that (fumble) because I knew we could move the ball down the field if we wanted to and we did that."
For Tam, which has been allowing only 75 yards per game passing against MCAL opponents, San Marin's passing success was perhaps the most surprising aspect to the game. Wilkins' passing helped the Mustangs move 79 yards in 1 minute, 31 seconds for a touchdown to end the first half, then he hit Shannon for a 27-yard touchdown on a third-and-15 play midway through the fourth quarter.
"It was frustrating," said Tam linebacker Jon Finkelstein. "Although they have really great players on their whole offense. But definitely we want to build off this and come back strong next week."
Tam coach Jon Black said his team also hurt itself offensively, losing two fumbles in the first quarter and another early in the third quarter as part of an uneven offensive effort. The high point was Marcus Viscardi's 109 yards rushing, which included two TD runs.
"We had too many turnovers early in the game that really put us in a hole," Black said. "We're not a very good come-from-behind team although we did fight our way back. And they were able to score in overtime and we could not get the ball in the end zone."
Fortunately for Tam, the loss almost certainly won't keep it out of the NCS D-III playoffs. But it might have cost the team a playoff home game.
"We're going to get moved way down in the rankings, which means we're going to be at the lower end of Division III," Black said. "That means were going to play a high seed, which means an away game, which is what we were fighting against. So it's back to the drawing board."

As one gets older, there are a bunch of preventive / screening type health tests recommended:
prostate exam (men)
bone density test (women)
mammogram (women)
fasting blood sugar test (checks for diabetes)
PSA screening (for prostate cancer)
One could argue that these types of tests could prolong ones life. One could also argue that even a "prolonged" life is brief and that it is better to put effort toward advancing down the path then to attempt to hold your "worn out cart" of a body together for a few more years. Or one could pursue both.
What are your opinions on this type of testing vs just letting nature take its course?

I need some serious help putting. In fact, I almost have no sense of how to go about it.
I currently just throw the disc at the chains. You read me right, I don't do any of those flashy or technical putts I've seen other guys around me doing. No turbos, wrist flicks, lay-ups, whatever you want to call them. It's just an educated guess on where to throw the disc at the chains.
With that being said, I am open to learning those techniques or going about putting in a more "scientific" way because I am currently going nowhere with my putting.
Any help? Any instructional vids I need to check out?

BRENTWOOD (AP) -- A Northern California family of a 5-year-old special-needs boy who was hurled to the floor and kicked by his teacher at school will receive $950,000 to settle a lawsuit.
The Brentwood Unified School District finalized the settlement last week with Caneel Carlin's family stemming from a January 2012 lawsuit she filed on behalf of her son against the district, Loma Vista Elementary School special education teacher Dina Holder and principal Lauri James.
The suit accused the parties of battery, negligence, failed mandated reporting duties and other infractions. Holder yanked the boy out of his seat and kicked him twice as he fell to the ground in May 2010.
Holder, 52, a 20-year teacher, then yelled at the boy while nearly a dozen other students watched. In 2011, Holder pleaded no contest to misdemeanor child abuse charges and was placed on four years' probation and received a year of child abuse training.
Carlin, 36, of Concord, Calif., said she reported the incident to police and it was only then that Holder was held liable for the incident at the school nearly three years ago. Teachers and school administrators are required by law to forward any reports of child abuse to police.
"He came home with a bruise, but the school district didn't even tell me what had happened until about a week later," Carlin said in a statement. "Neither the principal nor the district contacted the police. My husband and I had to pursue criminal action, and the school obstructed our efforts every step of the way."
On Wednesday, Brentwood School District Superintendent Merrill Grant apologized for Holder's behavior.
"The actions that led to the lawsuit are both appalling and upsetting," Grant said. "I'm a parent in the district and I reacted the same way as the rest of the community.... We're deeply sorry for what this family and child have endured."
The lawsuit said the teacher had previously used profanity in the classroom, shaken a child, slapped another child and strapped a child's legs to his chair with masking tape.
As part of the settlement, Holder can longer teach in a classroom and will retire at the end of the school year.
"My victory was having her leave that classroom and never come back," Carlin told the Contra Costa Times. "I truly believe they were covering this up, and it went as high as the district. It was like a bad movie. A bad nightmare."
Investigators also found that Holder was not properly certified to teach children with autism, many of whom were in her class.
"The abuse toward this young boy could have been prevented, but there was a systematic failure of school district employees to comply with their mandatory duty to report suspected child abuse," Peter Alfert, the family's attorney, said in a statement. "Numerous school employees were aware of Ms. Holder's unfitness."

text: Fix for 'Cannot install test agent on these machines because another environment is being created using the same machines' 26. February 2013 Richard-Fennell Lab Management, VSTS, Technical Tips (0) We have recently been upgrading our TFS 2012QU1 Lab Management system from SCVMM 2008 to SCVMM 2012 SP1. This has not been the nicest experience, we are preparing at least one joint blog post from Rik, Rob and myself on the joys, yes it did take everyone, a lovely cross skill problem. We are now in the process of sorting out the state of running environments transferred between the systems. I thought I would start with an easy one, a single non-domain joined VM. So after the upgrade this VM appeared as a running VM on one of the Hyper-V hosts, I could add it to a new environment, which I did. All appeared OK, the environment was created but Lab Management could not upgrade the Test Agents. If you tried the 'reinstall agents' option in Test Manager you got the error 'cannot install test agent on these machines because another environment is being created using the same machines' All very confusing and a hunt on the web found nothing on this error. The fix I found (might be another way) was to Connect to the VM via MTM Uninstall the TFS 2012 RTM Test Agent. Install the TFS 2012 QU1 test agent from the Test Agents ISO (which I had unpacked to network share so I could run the vstf_testagent.exe easily) When the install was complete the configuration wizard ran, I set the agent to run as the local administrator and pointed it at one of our test controllers Once the Test Agent configuration completed and the agent restarted it connected to the test controller and the environment reported itself as being ready. So one (simple) environment down, plenty more to go

Herne Hill Harriers' annual presentation evening was held at St Boniface Social Club with Jade Johnson - Commonwealth and European silver medallist - distributing the awards and taking part in a question and answer session with 130 guests.
Johnson, who has an allergy to sand despite her long jump discipline, spoke of her passion for athletics from the age of eight when she told her mum she wanted to compete in the Olympics.
Living in Liverpool at the time, Johnson was confronted by racism, and saw the black American sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner as an example of someone who could be accepted on the world stage for her athletic prowess.
It was this stage that Johnson aspired to, and her dreams were realised when she was selected for the British team for the 2004 Olympics, and made the Olympic final.
This achievement was followed by another Olympic final in 2008. When asked who her heroes were, Johnson cited Harriers' coach Ivor Northey who had introduced her to long jumping and coached her through her teens, and her subsequent coach John Herbert, himself an Olympian.
Tributes were also paid to Stan Allen, a club member for 62 years who died on New Year's Day aged 79.
Age group award winners were:
Katy Ann McDonald (Ron Gobey Trophy for U13G and Joan Allen Cup for U15G);
Michella Obijiaku (D. H. Jacobs Trophy for U17W);
Katie Snowden ( W.W. Hine Trophy for U20 women);
Oscar Millard (Bert Smyth Cup for U13B);
Kishon Allen (Smyth Cup for U15B);
Fawwaz Okunola (Heywood Shield for U17M);
Marvin Popoola (Warman Cup for U20M).
The Northumberland Cup for the best performance by a senior woman went to Aisha Naibe-Wey, while the Edgar Lloyd Trophy recognising the best performance by a veteran woman went to Penel Cummings.
The Founders Cup went to Blade Ashby, and the E.W. Haley Trophy for best performance by a veteran male to Ben Paviour.
McDonald was a winner again as she scooped the Parsons Trophy that recognises the outstanding achievements of junior cross-country runners, while Ed Olsen won the Don Taylor Cup – recognising the same feat as McDonald but for boys.
The Bert Jones Trophy for the best 5000m senior men's performance went to Jorge Raso Gea, while Snowden was honoured for a second time as the club's fastest female 800m runner with the Vicky Norris Trophy.
The final four awards were:
Michael Dyer (the Boomerang Trophy for the fastest male 800m runner);
Lewis Lloyd (the Mike Maynard Trophy for best male performance in cross-country);
Dejean Marshall Brown and Michella Obijiaku (the David Wheeler Memorial Awards to best young throwers);
Ade Adeniran (the Akplara Trophy to the young athlete displaying strong club spirit and sportsmanship).

Pumpkin Spice Cookies
In case you didn't get enough pumpkin during my Week of Pumpkin, here's another recipe for you. These cookies are similar to Hubby's all time favorite cookies, but they have a subtle hint of pumpkin flavor. I like that they aren't super cakey like most pumpkin cookies. They are extremely moist and delicious. Hubby and I really enjoyed them and I think they'd make a great addition to any holiday spread.
Pumpkin Spice Cookies
Yield: ~3 dozen
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/3 cups AP flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
Beat the butter in a large bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, pumpkin, molasses, and egg and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
Sift together remaining ingredients and gradually add to wet ingredients, beating on low speed until thoroughly incorporate. Refrigerate for up to one hour or until batter can be handled (I was impatient so I put the bowl in the freezer for about 25 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350F. Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a pie dish. Form the batter into walnut-sized balls. roll in sugar and arrange on cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
Cool for a few minutes on sheets and then remove to wire racks to continue cooling.

mmmm the picture is seriously making me drool!
I love all things pumpkin, I have got to try these.
As you pointed out, I think it's neat they are more crisp than the usual pumpkin cookie. They sound delicious!
These look great! What cute little cookies – I definitely want to try these ones out!
I made these yesterday and took them into the office today. Everyone loved them! Thanks so much for the posting!
Wow! I thought I was the only one who preferred a chewy cookie to a cakey one! I just bookmarked this page!! Thanks for sharing

SuperCoach: Round five Buy, Hold or Sell5:40
SuperCoach guru Tom Sangster gives his advice on who to buy, hold or sell ahead of round five.
WINGER Manu Vatuvei will make his return from injury, but prop Jacob Lillyman has been added to the Warriors' in-doubt list for their NRL match against South Sydney in Auckland.
Warriors assistant coach Andrew McFadden was optimistic that Lillyman, who injured his ankle in the 20-18 defeat of North Queensland last weekend, would be available on Sunday.
"We're still hopeful he'll come good,'' he said.
McFadden said Russell Packer, who has been out with a bicep problem, was a possibility to get his first run of the year if Lillyman was scratched.
Three other players failed to last the win over the Cowboys - fullback Kevin Locke, centre Dane Nielsen and utility Ben Henry.
Nielsen received rib cartilage damage and McFadden said his chances of facing the Rabbitohs were 50-50.
With Jerome Ropati being given more time in his return from a serious knee injury, 19-year-old Ngani Laumape is being lined up as replacement if Nielsen is unavailable.
"He's a fearless young kid,'' McFadden said of Laumape.
"I'm sure that, given the opportunity, he will take it with both hands.''
Usually a centre, Laumape made his NRL debut last month on the wing and has impressed in his two appearances there.
However, he makes way on the wing with the return of Vatuvei from an ankle injury.
Locke and Henry both received head knocks, with Henry unlikely to be available this weekend.
The news on Locke, who watched on at training today, was more favourable.
"Kevin looks like he'll be in the team,'' McFadden said.
"He's just had another day off today, just to get himself feeling a little better.''
McFadden said the Warriors' injury list, which runs to double figures, was just part of the game.
"We don't see these as distractions,'' he said.
"They're just things that happen every week in rugby league. It's a tough game and someone could fall over at training there today and it's just a case of he's out and you're in."

This will help the offense. This team is too slow, and Lance is best on the team at pushing the ball. The problem is that he doesn't seem to know whether he should push it or slow it down and look at Frank. Frank needs to take the leash off this team and them run. I know West and Roy are slow but everyone else can run, and Hibbert does a decent job at getting up the court for a big man. Everyone on the bench can run and this will help DJ's game because right now he looks lost, like the rest of the team does most of the time.
I know they aren't the best passing team and often don't convert when have they numbers in transition but this will help the team and it will give Lance more confidence. He's already showing confidence. Move Hill to the 2, Paul to the 3. When Granger comes back, move Hill to the bench. We'll have a big starting lineup on defense and lance moves his feet well enough on defense to stay with most PG's and he'll have PG and Hibbert to help him out. His weakness seems to be getting through screens so I don't think he'll have to chase as many PG's through screens like he does SG's, unless he's playing against a scoring one. Seriously, Lance is the only guy on the team who can make a decent post pass, lol.
I'm not a die hard Lance supporter or anything, just a long time fan who is tired of seeing this team barely be able to score 90 points and give up 20 point leads to the Wizards. If West doesn't go into Beast mode, we may have given them their first win of the season. I honestly feel this way. Agree or disagree?

Radiation Therapy for Thymus Cancer
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation in the form of x-rays or radioactive particles to kill cancer cells.
Radiation therapy can be used in several situations. After surgery, radiation therapy is sometimes given to try to kill any small deposits of cancer that may have been left behind because they were too small to see. This, called adjuvant therapy, is done for nearly all stage III and IV thymomas and for most thymic carcinomas, even when no visible tumor was left behind.
Radiation may also be used after surgery if the doctor thinks that some cancer was left behind.
Some doctors may use radiation therapy to try to shrink larger tumors before surgery, especially if the tumor isn't completely resectable. But not all doctors agree this is useful. Some patients who can't have surgery are treated with radiation therapy alone, although this is not as effective as surgery. Sometimes chemotherapy is given with radiation to help it work better.
In people with advanced disease, radiation therapy can be used to help ease (palliate) symptoms from the cancer such as shortness of breath, pain, bleeding, or trouble swallowing.
The type of radiation therapy used most often to treat thymic cancer is external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). This type of radiation therapy uses x-rays from a machine outside the patient's body to kill cancer cells. The treatment is much like getting an x-ray, but the radiation is more intense. The procedure itself is painless, but it does cause side effects (discussed later on). Before your treatments start, the medical team will take careful measurements to determine the correct angles for aiming the radiation beams and the proper dose of radiation. They may also do special CT scans to help plan your treatments. Each treatment lasts only a few minutes, although the setup time — getting you into place for treatment — usually takes longer. Most often, radiation treatments are given 5 days a week for several weeks.
A type of EBRT called three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) is often used to treat thymic cancers. This technique allows doctors to more accurately target the tumor while reducing the radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissues such as the lungs and the heart. This might offer a better chance of increasing the success rate and reducing side effects.
Sometimes, an advanced form of 3D-CRT, called intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is used. It uses a computer-driven machine that moves around the patient as it delivers radiation. Along with shaping the radiation beams and aiming them at the tumor from several angles, the intensity (strength) of the beams can be adjusted to minimize the dose reaching the most sensitive normal tissues. Most major hospitals and cancer centers are now able to provide IMRT.
Possible side effects of radiation therapy for thymus cancer
Common side effects of radiation therapy include:
- Fatigue
- Skin changes where the radiation passes through, such as redness and blistering
- Nausea, and vomiting
- Irritation of the esophagus (the tube between the mouth and stomach), which could cause problems such as painful swallowing
- Poor appetite and weight loss
- Diarrhea (if the abdomen/belly or pelvis is treated).
Radiation can damage bone marrow leading to low blood counts. This can lead to anemia (low red blood cell counts) which can cause people to feel weak and tired. It can also lead to low white blood cell counts, which increases the risk of serious infections.
Chest radiation therapy can also damage lungs. This can lead to trouble breathing and shortness of breath. Although this usually gets better after radiation treatments stop, sometimes the damage is long-term (or even permanent).
Most side effects are temporary and improve after radiation treatment is done.
If radiation therapy is used together with chemotherapy, the side effects are often worse.
If you are having any side effects from radiation therapy, tell your doctor or nurse. In most cases there are ways to help control these symptoms.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Absolute Change From Baseline in Independent Photography Review (IPR-V3 Score) [ Time Frame: IPR-V3 measured at baseline and then at 8 weeks ]The Independent Photography Review - Visible Varicose Veins (IPR-V3) instrument is a 5-point scale used to assess the appearance of a patient's visible varicose veins. At screening, the site clinician was instructed to review the appearance of the patient's varicose veins in the medial section of each leg (a 'live' assessment), then select an IPR-V3 score (i.e., none=0, mild, moderate, severe or very severe=4) that best represented the appearance of the patient's varicose veins. This assessment took into account the attributes caliber, dilatation, tortuosity, and extent and number of varicosities, and was used to determine patient eligibility. The site clinician used a set of reference photographs (2 example photographs for each score on the scale) to assist with assigning a score to the appearance of the patient's visible varicose veins.
- Absolute Change From Baseline in PA-V3 Score [ Time Frame: PA-V3 measured at baseline and then at 8 weeks ]The Patient Self-assessment of Visible Varicose Veins (PA-V3) instrument is a 5-point scale used by patients to evaluate the appearance of their visible varicose veins. On this paper questionnaire, the instructions included a diagram of the medial view of a leg with the area between the ankle and the groin circled. The patient was instructed to choose 1 of 5 response options that best described the appearance of the visible varicose veins of the leg that was treated in the study. The patient was instructed not to consider the appearance of the leg outside the circled area or of any spider veins. Possible responses ranged from "Not at all noticeable" (a score of 0) to "Extremely noticeable" (a score of 4)

A few weeks ago we updated the Pixy system to a new version (3.6). Here are some of the changes which were included in the update.
Pixy users may have noticed some changes when uploading new entries. As part of the recent system update we've switched to using a new media server for the storage and delivery of photos and uploads. This means the page loading times for your blogs at Pixy have been improved, and it also allows us to expand as the number of images uploaded to Pixy grows.
The process of moving to the new image server hasn't gone as smoothly as hoped. We switched to using the new server at the end of last month and came across a number of problems with slow uploading of images. We've been working tirelessly to fix these and we have now installed a second update which resolves most of the reported problems.
However we still have a problem with the watermarking feature, so until that is resolved the watermarking of images has been temporarily disabled.
Most users will have noticed a small change after saving a new entry; there is a delay while the images load. Previously when you uploaded a new image, the thumbnail resizing and watermarking operations were done at the same time. This meant that it took longer to publish an entry. Now when you save a new entry just the file is uploaded (and a quick check to see if it's an image file) then another process takes care of the resizing and watermarking. The initial upload is much quicker than before, and you can choose to navigate away from the page as the images are processed in the background and your entry will be updated.
While the initial upload is quick, the image resizing and watermarking is currently taking two or three times longer than it should. We're working on resolving this and once completed the whole uploading time will be much quicker.
Two more previews of your photos are now created from new uploads. One at 300px another at 1600px. These can be used on your blog by editing your page templates.
We've added a new editor to be used while editing page templates. Now with the CodeMirror editor your page templates are nicely formatted and syntax highlighted making it easier to customize your blog. This is now enabled by default. You can revert to the simple text editor in your sites Preferences > Settings.
That's not all from the 3.6 update... there's another whole bunch of features. But first we need to get the new media server and uploading working smoothly and then we'll start to roll-out the rest.
If anyone finds a problem, let us know in our bug forum. Got an idea for a new or improved feature? Checkout out feature request forum.
More to come soon.

The Lowrider community has always been about family. Despite how we are often portrayed in the media, we Lowriders have a love for our fellow man that even surpasses our love for automobiles. The story we're about to tell here is an amazing one, but again, Lowriders are no strangers to lending a helping hand when duty calls. Eddie Hernandez had been battling cancer most of his life. He was diagnosed with Leukemia as an infant and while treatment for the disease was effective, the cancer came back when he was five years old. Undaunted, Eddie's parents held a bone marrow drive to search for a donor for their son. Eddie underwent a successful bone marrow transplant at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco in 1998 at the age of nine.
Due to all of the challenges Eddie had endured in his young life, his parents decided to get him a car at when he turned fifteen. Having always expressed interest in Lowriders, Eddie's dream was to be behind the wheel of one of his very own. His parents knew exactly what to do, and they instantly began hunting for a classic Chevy for their courageous son. After knocking on several doors with older cars in the yard, a man directed them to a woman who lived down the street. As they pulled up to the woman's house, they saw the 1964 Impala SS sitting in the driveway. Once the deal for the Chevy was made, the Hernandez family picked up the hardtop.
The family was excited to give their son the experience of building the Lowrider of his dreams before the unthinkable happened. A secondary cancer from all the radiation treatment he received from his previous affliction was found seven years after his bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately for Eddie, the dream of building a custom Lowrider with his dad and taking it to car shows came to a halt.
The terminally ill Eddie had never gotten the chance to see Lowrider in person, so his uncle reached out to the local Lowrider community through a Lowrider forum and asked them if anybody was willing to stop by the family's home, just to give Eddie a glimpse of one up close and personal. Three days later, over sixty Lowriders filled up the cul de sac so that Eddie could see real, live Lowriders with his own eyes. The group of Lowriders were so touched by the struggles that Eddie had gone through in his young life, that they decided to help the family out by building the Impala for them! The Hernandez family allowed the riders (who at that time were complete strangers) take the Impala that they had originally bought to restore with Eddie. The car was overhauled by members of different car clubs from the Stockton and Modesto area before a group known as "Chago's Build Team" stepped in to finish the build in the East Bay. The combined efforts produced an amazing testament to Lowriders' love of automobile restoration and their love for their fellow man.
The finished car was delivered to the Hernandez family right before Christmas with a huge red bow on the top of it. The car's unveiling made for an emotional night filled with joy and tears. An excited Eddie made sure that the car was broken in with a late night cruise down McHenry. Eddie was able to enjoy cruising his car for a while, and he even got the chance to take it to a couple of shows before he lost his long fight against cancer a few months later.
This story moved me so much that I would like to dedicate this issue to the memory of Eddie "lil Eddie" Hernandez and Santiago "Chago" Hernandez and to the hundreds of honorary members of Sons of Mexico car club who gave their time to help make this kid's lifelong dreams come true.
"Eddie My Love"
Owner: Eddie Hernandez
Vehicle: 1964 Chevy Impala
City/State: Modesto, CA
Car Club: Sons of Mexico
Engine: Al Corona, of Skanless car club, got the engine up and running while Luis Salazar of Livingston, CA donated several chrome parts to the project. Freddy, Lorenzo, and Mikey of San Jose candy painted the engine block green.
Body/Paint: Ralph Garcia, of the Impalas car club, stripped the car down before his fellow Impalas car club members of the Stockton Chapter finished the bodywork and candy painted the car green with white pearl top. Jaime "Wimone" donated his pinstriping talent and to finish off the paint, Freddy Alfaro donated the trunk murals to the car.
Setup: The "Chago's Build Team" installed the chrome, two-pump set up which is found in the truck of the car. The hydraulics were donated by Ben "Mod Hopper," Dave Marquez at Hi-Low Hydraulics, Gabe at Baby Boy Customs, JR from Life's Finest, Abel and Cesar from Rebirth car club.
ICE: Doug Vigil was able to have Arc Audio donate the Amp and Speakers to power the system
Tires: 155/80R13
Wheels: Chrome Wire Wheels

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Dog Treats "
Tesco's range of dog treats are brilliant value for money in my opinion and I pick a pack or two up whenever I am doing my grocery shopping there.
There's quite a lot of choice in Tesco's own range of dog treats with various different types and sizes and I like to buy different ones now and again so that my dogs have a bit of variety. The treats that I buy most often are the small bite bone selection as they're a good size for a little treat whenever my dogs are begging around for food or whenever they deserve a treat for being well behaved and they come in handy whenever we do a bit of training as well.
An 800 gram box of these treats retails at £1.49 which I think is a bargain. I have four dogs and one box will last for at least two weeks so they are excellent value for money. The treats come in a large cardboard box which is shaped like a cereal box. It has an orange and black colour scheme and there's a large photograph of a yellow labrador on the front. The brand and product name are written in white writing on a large black dog paw and there are four pictures of the treats meaning that the customer can easily see what the treats look like which is an advantage as without the pictures I think that they could easily be mistaken for gravy bones from the product name.
A feeding guide as well as ingredients etc are written on the back of the box. The list is quite a lengthy one but I was impressed to see that there are various vitamins and supplements in the treats and as well as the usual oil and cereals they also contain meat and animal derivatives. The box is easy to open and it can be closed again as well as it doesn't need cutting or ripping open which I find very handy as I don't need to transfer them into a container. The treats themselves are shaped like bones and have a chalky kind of texture. There are a few different colours including dark orange, black and beige. They are very unoffensive smelling and don't smell strong or meaty - they just smell a bit like cardboard but my dogs seem to like the smell.
The treats are smaller than expected but not so small that they are a choking hazzard. They're bite sized for my labradors, jack russel and husky and they can easily eat one of these in under 30 seconds so they are not the most long lasting treats. A good way to make them last longer though is to put a few into a kong and my dogs will spend ages trying to get them out! The treats are quite crumbly but as we have wooden flooring this isn't an issue. My dogs really like these treats and overall I recommend them as they're great value for money.
My friend and her poodle, Daisy almost live at my flat and when my mate isn't here sometimes Daisy just stays with me. We call her a part share dog, she does and stays where she pleases and neither of us mind.
The other day I was in Tesco and I treated her to these at £1.49 a box. She doesn't normally like crunchy style biscuits which is why when I left with them in my shopping bag I was left wondering why I had probably wasted my money!
The Packaging:
Well the biscuits come in a bright orange box with photograph of a labrador on the front and on the back (odd as these are called small bites!) and we are shown a picture of the biscuits on there too and told that they are Tesco Small Bite Bone Selection Treats and they are vitamin & mineral enriched and give good oral care for teeth & gums. Other information on the box tells us the ingredients and composition of the snacks, a feeding guide is given, the size is stated which is 800g (and the only size I am aware that they are available to purchase in) and contact details for Tesco are given. Nice enough, informative packaging this is.
The Treats:
Well the treats are shaped like bones, are rather thick and come in beige, yellow, an orangy colour and black. No flavour is stated as to what each colour represents but all of them contain cereals and fats, meat and animal derivatives as well as derivatives from vegetables (as well as a couple of other ingreidents). They are biscuits, smooth on the outside and by the sound of Daisy munching through them very crunchy indeed.
Surprisingly Daisy, the lazy dog loves these! Yes they make a mess and her favourite habit at the moment is taking one to my bed and nibbling it there and leaving some crumbs for me to lie in when I go to bed when I'm not looking though they do seem to make her thirsty so water down is a must.
The feeding guide on the box is very comprehensive telling you how many to give a puppy of a certain weight and whether it be a toy or big dog and the same for adult large dogs so although these are called small bite they are not just meant to be given as treat for small or puppy dogs, they're actually suitable for any dog hence the photograph of the labrador on the front after all!
As I stated earlier I really didn't think Daisy would appreciate these at all but she really does and her serving as an adult small dog is 5 of these a day thought they are not suitable for puppies less than 6 weeks old but you can break them up easily if you so desire and/or moisten with water for very young pups if you want to.
All in all you get loads of these for your money, they look nice and the Daisy loves em so these get a huge thumbs up from me and her though my bed hates them!
Only available in Tesco stores or from Tesco.com

With the advent of autumn comes an annual spectacle in the regional parks and elsewhere — the march of the mating tarantulas.
You may spot the large, hairy spiders making slow progress across parkland roads and trails. Those are likely the males. The females wait in their silk-lined boudoirs for the gentleman callers.
Tarantulas are interesting spiders. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are actually docile and reclusive. They live underground in daytime, usually emerging only at night to hunt for the small insects that comprise their diet.
Males mature between ages 7 and 10 years. Then, during September and October, they venture forth in search of females that are ready to lay eggs. Tarantula sexuality can be especially unsafe, because the girl sometimes dines on her partner afterward. Even if she doesn't, males die within a year of mating. Females can live as long as 30 years.
Neither sex lives happily ever after if there's an encounter with a tarantula hawk. This is a variety of wasp that hunts the spider, delivers a paralyzing sting, then lays eggs on the live but helpless victim to provide a meal for the wasp larvae when the eggs hatch.
If you see a tarantula while you're walking in the parks, spider-watch to your heart's content, but please don't disturb the creature in any way. One disincentive to handling tarantulas is their defense mechanism — irritant hairs on their abdomens that they can scatter with their legs to discourage predators. Tarantulas also have fangs, and while their bite is not poisonous, it is painful — like a bee sting.
If you'd like to learn more about tarantulas and meet one under safe circumstances, naturalist aide Morgan Evans is hosting a program from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Environmental Education Center in Tilden Nature Area, Berkeley. The center is at the north end of Central Park Drive. For more information, call 510-544-2233.
LEONA HEIGHTS: The oldest redwood tree in the East Bay is located in the Oakland Hills. It's hard to hike to, but you can see it from a distance during a walk from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday starting in Leona Canyon and continuing to Oakland's Leona Heights Park, led by naturalist Michael Charnofsky.
The free hike is a five-miler, designed for ages 8 and older. Meet at the Canyon Oaks Drive staging area off Keller Avenue in Oakland. For more information, call 510-544-3187.
CRAB COVE: Insects will be the Catch of the Day on Saturday and Sunday at Crab Cove Visitor Center in Alameda. Catch of the Day programs are scheduled there from 2 to 3 p.m. every weekend of the year, with special activities on Oct. 27 and 28 for Halloween. All "catches" are nature programs led by the visitor center staff. The fish get fed from 3 to 3:30 p.m.
Located at 1252 McKay Ave. off Central Avenue in Alameda, Crab Cove has exhibits and aquaria showcasing the wildlife of San Francisco Bay and the history of Alameda. For more information, call 510-544-3187.
ARDENWOOD: As mentioned in my last column, Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont stages its annual Harvest Festival from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Diversions will include magic shows, cider pressing, live music, horse-drawn train rides, and corn harvesting.
Ardenwood is located at 34600 Ardenwood Boulevard, just north of Highway 84 in Fremont. Entry to the festival costs $8 for adults, $6 for seniors 62 and older, $5 for children ages 4 through 17, and free for 3 years and under. Parking is free. For information, call 888-327-2757, ext. 2797.
BLACK DIAMOND: Traces of the once-bustling 19th century mining town of Somersville will be explored during a walk from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch, led by naturalist Bob Kanagaki.
The program is free, geared for ages seven and older. Meet Bob in the parking lot at the end of Somersville Road, four miles south of Highway 4 in Antioch. For information, call 888-327-2757, ext. 2750.
BRIONES: Experience the beauty of Briones Regional Park at dusk during a short hike from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday led by naturalist James Wilson. If you come, bring water and wear comfortable hiking shoes. Meet James at the Bear Creek staging area off Bear Creek Road east of Orinda Village.
The hike is free of charge. For information, call 510-544-2233.
BROOKS ISLAND: Here's an activity for experienced boaters who can provide their own kayaks and safety gear. It's an exploration of Brooks Island off the Richmond Marina, led by naturalist "Trail Gail" Broesder.
Brooks Island has an unusual cultural and natural history, plus panoramic views from its highest point.
The trip is from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. It's limited to ages 14 and older and parent participation is required. There's a fee of $20 per person ($22 for nondistrict residents); registration is required. For registration and information, call 888-327-2757. Select option 2 and refer to program number 30297.
GRANT DENIED: In a previous column I mentioned that the East Bay Regional Park District, in partnership with other agencies and organizations, had applied for a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to set up a Get Outdoors (GO!) Network for Kids Health.
Unfortunately, the district has learned that the grant application was not approved. The process was very competitive; out of 40 grants nationwide, only four were awarded in California.
Park district staff has received a lot of positive comments about the proposed GO! program, which is aimed at encouraging kids to improve their health and fitness through outdoor activity. So district staff will continue to seek other funding support for it. Partners in the effort are the Oakland Unified Schools, West Contra Costa Unified School District, Alameda County Office of Education, Children's Hospital Oakland, EcoVillage and UC Berkeley Center for Weight and Health.
Ned MacKay writes a regular column about East Bay Regional Park District sites and activities. Email him at email@example.com.

Unless Tommy Thibbs is coaching in Detroit anytime soon, I wouldn't expect much from DJ Augustin.

I had not thought of that. You're right. It looks very much like the Atari logo.
Yes, that's the Atari logo.
Parsons isn't a superstar but he'll play up to the contract
Soon we could have the hardest division in the league, Bulls, Cavs, Pacers, Pistons and Bucks, guess I could have stated a new thread for this but oh well, will let someone else. But with the development of these young guys who have super star potential this division can go from not to bad to extremely hard really quickly.
Why so SERIOUS
So look for Rockets to re-enter trade game for longtime Houston target Rajon Rondo as well as try to work their way into mix for Kevin Love— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 14, 2014
Heat free agent Ray Allen isn't pressed to choose a team because he isn't certain if he still wants to play or retire, source told Yahoo.— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 14, 2014
Can't remember, I think so, but I have a weird feeling that the team with the better record still gets home court.
Why so SERIOUS
As others have commented on those posts on Twitter, Houston literally has no assets of any value right now. None. Parsons? Gone. Lin? Gone. Asik? Gone. They aren't moving Dwight, Harden, or Ariza. So, you're left with Patrick Beverly, Terrence Jones, and that's about it in terms of value. Could you imagine a Beverly and Jones for Rondo deal? Me neither.
Dear P_George,
You have received an infraction at Pacers Digest.
Reason: Unacceptable Comment and/or Content
It feels like Houston is mentioned as a strong suitor in every transaction.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Their GM is HUNGRY for major/marketable moves that brings in a high profile star.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
A lot of writers this past weekend were talking about how most other GMs don't like Morey. They think he's a dick basically and some won't even deal with him. This came about as a conversation between a pair of writers tlaking about how some GMs had openly expressed happiness and the joy they were taking in watching Houston strike out on every free agent they were targeting.
I think that Morey does so much anonymous talking to the press that his middle name could be "source."
Slug 'em Sabres!!!!!
Evan Turner has received interest from Boston and Minnesota, a source told ESPN.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) July 14, 2014
finally, poor guy lol
Watch him get signed before Lance
^you can't fill up a Ferrari with "getting signed early"
Unless Bird thinks Hibbert sucks too.
Pelican's pick alone won't be worth Rondo or Love even if you toss in those two average players. Beverly is good defensively, but he's not that great of a starter, same for Jones. I think people lose sight of how elite the players we're talking about are. Rondo has offensive limitations, but he's elite defensively and maybe the best passing PG in the league. Love is Love, all that needs to be said. Pelican's have Anthony Davis, Gordon, and Evans ... if they are all healthy, they'll be at the lower end of that 4-19 spectrum, probably somewhere from 12-19. Davis is a legit MVP candidate already if he can get some help and get some W's.

While I've never been to Charleston, I have a feeling the new book from Matt and Ted Lee provides a very good taste of what South Carolina has to offer. Matt and Ted got in touch with us because they rely on our cornmeal for their recipes. It's hard to please a Southerner with a cornmeal, so we were honored to hear that ours passed muster in their homes.
Each recipe in this book is accompanied by an introduction with tips on how to serve the dish and the fond memories the recipe sparks for the brothers. Some recipes were collected from favorite restaurants, while others are uniquely their own. The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen is filled with quintessential Southern dishes that anyone can recognize like Shrimp and Grits and Smothered Pork Chops, and more unique dishes like Shark Sandwich (where do you buy shark anyway?) and Tomato and Watermelon Gazpacho. The Lee brothers provide a lesson in how to boil peanuts to perfection and tips for buying crab, as well as how to make a mean Moonshine Martini.
This book is not for the vegetarian or vegan, however, unless you wish to subsist on the perfect Gin and Tonic and Pan Roasted Okra, Corn and Tomatoes (though that does sound like a great meal). There are a handful of vegetarian recipes here, but the book is centered around amazing preparations of seafood with a smattering of chicken, beef and pork dishes. Of course, the book runs the full gamut from drink to dessert, so you can plan a Charleston meal in true style.
Containing over 100 recipes, most accompanied by full-color photos, The Lee Bros. is truly a trip to the South. If you should make it to Charleston, you'll find a lovely Walking and Driving Tour with the best bites and sites from the book. We'll have a recipe to share next week for Pineapple Cornbread Pudding.
So you love the the idea of this book, but don't want to put in the effort? Ted and Matt also have an online shop where you can order boiled peanuts, pickles, preserves, baked goods and more! Did I mention the brothers got their start selling boiled peanuts online? Check out the store- it's quite fun. Moonpies, anyone?
The Breakdown:
This book officially publishes on 2/26. You can score a free sample of recipes from The Recipe Club today. If you're interested in buying the book, visit The Recipe Club for details.
We have three copies of this beautiful book to giveaway. Each copy will be paired with a bag of our organic unbleached white flour and our organic medium-grind cornmeal. To enter, simply follow the directions in the app below. If you have an issue with it, let me know in the comments and I'll try to help you sort it out. We'll pick three winners from all who enter by 11:59 pm on 2/5/13.
