They weren't all back on the job yet in Vallejo, but union members weren't picketing outside anymore either, two Vallejo Raley's employee said Tuesday, as a tentative agreement was reached with management.
The first California strike in Raley's 77-year history appeared Tuesday to be over, with the Benicia Raley's meat cutters back on the job, an employee there said.
Some 7,000 unionized workers in Raley's and Nob Hill stores, including the Raley's in Vallejo and Benicia, walked off the job Nov. 4, and picketed in front of the stores for nine days. This followed 15 months of contentious negotiations.
Most workers at the Benicia and Vallejo stores aren't unionized. But the meat cutters are, and they were joined on the picket line by union members from other stores.
In Vallejo, one employee said meat cutters plan to be back in full force Wednesday and invited customers who had stayed away in solidarity to "come on back in."
Officials of United Food and Commercial Workers 8-Golden State and Local 5 said they will submit the tentative settlement to their membership for review, and recommend ratification.
The proposed agreement also will be submitted to union workers at Raley's Bel Air Markets chain, which had not yet been directly affected by the strike.
Company spokesman John Segale said early last week that the firm was struggling to make a profit in this economy -- a reality union leaders said they accepted. And on Tuesday, Raley's president Mike Teel said the contract "provides us with the cost savings we need to fund our vision and the initiatives to make us more competitive in the 21st Century."
The strike settlement guarantees that no reprisals will greet returning workers, who will retain their positions, seniority and health care eligibility. All replacement workers will immediately be dismissed, union officials said.
While the terms of the tentative agreement won't be released until union members vote on it, union officials confirmed that Raley's agreed to retain and fund members' health plan.
Officials of the family-owned company said it faced competition from non-union retailers selling groceries on top of the recession and "skyrocketing" health care costs.
Under the previous contract, negotiated before the economy crashed, Raley's paid 100 percent of the premiums for employees' health insurance.
"Because of our members' resolve and because of our members' solidarity, and ... with the extraordinary support of our customers, we were able to address Raley's competitive concerns while protecting our membership in a very challenging time," union officials said. "We now look forward to returning to work and serving our loyal customers."

10 Inches of Web-Slingin' Action Figure Fun...

For action figures, statues and sculptures, go to CSMooreStudio.com.
In addition to the smaller playsets and mini-figures, Mega Bloks has created a buildable figure for the older kids, a Spider-Man Techbot. Geared for ages 6 and up, this super-poseable robot comes in 46 pieces but once youre done, its nearly 10 inches of web-slingin fun.
The box is thick and colorful, providing an accurate portrayal of whats inside and since Mega Bloks is based out of Canada, theres several different languages to read out as well. Within, youll find a full-color instruction manual and a few pouches containing a variety of pieces. The manual provides a handy guide of every piece and quantity needed so my first tip would be to organize every piece in the same manner. It makes for a much easier time building. Its one thing to build a car but an entirely different mindset is needed to build human anatomy and poseable joints.
Once the Amazing Spider-Man Techbot is built, you have one figure and one accessory weapon that plugs into the arm (left or right) and a ball that fires from it. The ball-firing launcher isnt really essential to the fun personally but youre welcome to fire at other toys and figures if you wish.
The figure itself, as mentioned earlier, is super poseable with nearly 30 moving parts. Thats not too shabby! With that range, you can do quite a bit of poses but where he is a bit limited is in the waist and torso area. But otherwise, pretty fun to pose.
If there is one drawback to the Techbot, its the lack of detail or parts on his backside. A lot of the emphasis is on the front with the appropriate armor and such, but the back is left pretty bare.
In the end, if youre into building robots and especially when theyre Spider-Man, this is your ticket. It would have been fun if there was a seat for the mini-figure to be placed into to control, but I think this product was intended for a different purpose entirely. Still, a slight missed opportunity there.
The Spider-Man Techbot can be found wherever Mega Bloks toys are sold.

Autotrader UK – Solutions for Acquiring an Affordable Car
Recently, finding a trustworthy autotrader, UK being a very competitive market, has become quite a serious issue. There are thousands of people who need to change their vehicles, and only a fraction of them can afford a brand new one, so if a little shopping around is done, the deal of the year might turn into something more than a dream.
Autotrader – UK Market Interesting Facts
In the late couple of years, the interest towards used cars increased, because having one was (and still is) seen as a method of saving money. This is because quite a few had the luck to find as good as new vehicles, at only a half or even less of the price they would have paid for a brand new one.
In Britain, as almost everywhere across the world, internet plays a crucial role in promoting, offering and facilitating all kinds of services. A clever autotrader, used cars being the commonly met on the kingdom's streets these days, is also active online. The perspectives of attracting new clients are greater than ever, especially with the possibility to provide information and educate the target population.
Thus, if you want to find a good autotrader, UK is the best market to begin with, at least in this domain. After browsing through several web pages and comparing offers, models and prices, all that's left for you to do is to make up your mind and plan your budget.
The final choice must match your financial possibilities and practical needs. One who is not married and drives the car only from home to work and back won't need the same model and motor capacity like somebody who is married, has three children, a dog, and goes out of town every weekend.
Autotrader – UK Learns Again the Art of Negotiation
For many years, the British citizens have lived a care free life, losing the habit of diplomatic or even aggressive commercial bargaining. Nowadays, when every penny counts twice as much, getting a significantly reduced price becomes a top priority for many. In the light of this, negotiating for a convenient price with an auto trader or even a bike trader turns into real art.
If you want your share of savings, never get impressed by the sales persons' attempts of flattering you in any way. It's part of the job description and it is meant to get the commission on your acquisition. Cast away the temptation of throwing a lot of money on a very good looking, powerful model, but which is totally inadequate for your current needs.
In exchange, show the person in front of you that you are in control, asking information about everything you consider important in a car. Year of production, usage, general outside aspect, motor's power, etc., must be properly examined. In this situation, usually, any autotrader – UK is just an example of how things work – should be eager to help you with any piece of information you may need.
No one is happy about it, but still happens. You mustn't exclude the possibility for your freshly bought car to break down at a certain moment. For this, it may be useful to find out whether the autotrader also runs a spare parts deposit, or has the possibility to get you the materials you need on time and cheap.
Now let's speak a little about the money. First of all, when a car is bought, the future owner must be well aware of the present, but also the future incurred expenses. It is about road taxes, insurance and current maintenance we are talking about. For this, it is better to calculate a preliminary budget which includes all these.
A well reputed autotrader – UK is famous for these cases – also offers convenient financing solutions for the customers who can't afford to pay in a single installment. Periodical rates are fixed, of course with some extra costs attached. Although in most of the cases this type of deal is advantageous for both parties, it is still advisable to be very careful at the figures printed in the contract, before you sign it.
As a conclusion, for someone who wants to obtain the best possible deal when negotiates with an autotrader-UK or elsewhere – it is not difficult, as long as you stick to the guidelines above.

We Toss The Stock Steering Box On Project Street Fighter Mustang For A Tight And Tidy Rack-And-Pinion System From Total Control Products.
Street Fighter
We're swiftly moving our way through the front end of our 1966 Mustang, giving it the updates expected to make it perform. The vague steering feel was not going to fly on the street or at the track. It wasn't as wild in the lane as some 40-year-old steering systems are, but a couple new parts weren't going to cure it. Our choices were: do the best we could with a steering-box-style system by replacing all the worn joints, or start from scratch and do a rack-and-pinion conversion. We went with the rack.
Nearly all modern cars use rack-and-pinion steering because of its light weight and compact packaging. We like it because of its precision and superior road feel. The next question was whether to run a manual or power rack. Since ultimately this is a street car, and it would have some seriously sticky and wide meats on the front, power would be a whole lot easier for car show and city cruising.
To go along with the rest of our suspension, we chose Total Control Products' rack-and-pinion setup. Total Control Products is a division of Chris Alston's Chassisworks that specializes in making early Fords outperform late models. They have rack-and-pinion conversion kits for '60-65 Comets, '67-70 Cougars, '60-65 Falcons, '64-70 Mustangs, and '60-65 Rancheros. The rack itself is a direct bolt-in unit that requires zero cutting or welding to install. Instead of having the more traditional ends seen on late-model cars, this rack uses a center link that you can bolt onto the factory tie-rod ends. Because our Mustang was originally a six-cylinder, the tie-rod ends don't work with the V-8 spindles or the steering rack.
To remedy this problem, we used TCP's tie-rod ends and bumpsteer kit. Bumpsteer is a phenomenon where the wheels steer without input from the steering wheel. It's caused by incorrect steering geometry. TCP's bumpsteer kit allows you to shim the bolt connecting the tie-rod end to the spindle to give it the desired angle, which in most cases closely parallels the lower control arm. In order to make this adjustment correct, you need to have the camber, caster, and toe correct. We will be installing TCP's coilover conversion and tubular control arms at a later date, so the bumpsteer adjustment will have to wait.
These early Mustangs have an interesting way of putting their steering systems together. Unlike GM, the shaft is one with the steering box unless you disassemble it. To adapt the new rack, we replaced this assembly with a stainless steel tilt-wheel column from Flaming River. The new column bolts in the same way the old one did, but with an updated firewall mount and GM-style wiring. Our Mustang's wiring harness is a mess of shorts, so building a connector to fit the new column would be a waste of time. All the pins and the diagram were supplied with the kit, which will make it really easy when the time for new wiring comes.
The last piece to complete the steering chain of command is the steering wheel itself. We got Grant's Formula GT wheel for its simple race-inspired styling. It's also a couple inches smaller in diameter than stock at 13 inches, so it makes quick steering input a lot easier. No more twirling a 17-inch steering wheel around four times to get into the next lane!
When we pulled this Mustang into the shop, it was a sad and tired stocker without a purpose. Each improvement we've done on this car is bringing it one step closer to being a pavement-hungry supercar.

LAKEPORT -- A judge Monday delayed sentencing for a Lakeport man who accepted a plea bargain related to a shooting incident in the city last summer.
Raymond Richard Casillas pleaded no contest to two gun-related felonies in exchange for the remaining charges, which included attempted murder, being dropped Nov. 28.
The counts stemmed from a June 22 incident during which authorities say Casillas tried to shoot someone during a fight in the area of Central Park Avenue and Shady Oak Street. He allegedly escaped police custody that night but was caught in Windsor the next day.
The plea deal called for Casillas, 23, to serve a two-year state prison term.
Casillas appeared at the Lake County Courthouse Monday afternoon for sentencing, but retired Judge Robert L. Crone Jr. granted an unopposed defense request to postpone the hearing until the end of the month.
Defense counsel Jonathan Steele wanted more time in order to arrange for Casillas' enrollment in a substance-abuse program after the completion of his prison term, deputy district attorney Ed Borg said.
The sentencing hearing was rescheduled for April 29. Monday marked the third time Casillas' sentencing has been delayed. He remains in custody at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility, where he has been housed since his arrest last June.

Company gets FacebookGraphSearch.com; GraphSearch.com is for sale.
Yesterday Facebook registered domain names for its new Graph Search.
Specifically, it picked up FacebookGraphSearch.com and other extensions of the same domain.
It did not, however, buy GraphSearch.com.
That domain was registered in 2001 and belongs to Visicom Media Inc.
It's listed for sale on Sedo.
And people are definitely paying attention. As of right now, the domain shows 32 offers, 132 visitors to the listing page, and nearly 1,700 visitors in the past 30 days. I bet all of that activity happened in the past 24 hours.
But here's the thing: Facebook doesn't need to buy this domain.
Where are you going to use graph search?
On Facebook.com.
I can see no reason why you'd go to graphsearch.com to use something that will be an integral part of the experience on Facebook.
The only "bad" thing I can see from Facebook not owning this domain is it getting into the wrong hands. Like some class action lawyer who wants to file a privacy lawsuit over the new feature.

How much cap space is left over after all the signings assuming we dont get barbosa back??

How much cap space is left over after all the signings assuming we dont get barbosa back??
Once we sign Hill and we sign Roy, none.
We have absolutely 0 cap space left?
Starting to think Augustin might have to start then.
Vogel likes to bring in the entire bench. I don't even want to think about Augustin, Stephenson, Green, Hansbrough and Mahinimi trying to score if they're all on the floor at once.
I'm assuming Vogel won't be bringing in the entire bench anymore if we don't have any space to sign another shooter/scorer to come off the bench.
I have no idea what cap space has to do with playing time.
I was just making sure it's accurate that we have absolutely no cap space because I think we need another scorer off the bench.
So I guess not having cap space to sign another player has to do with playing time.
We have no cap room, but we still own our MLE. We can sign another scorer using that. We've also gotBarbosas bird rights so he might be option #1. I wouldn't complain if we brought him back.
We don't have the MLE. We started the offseason under the cap.
How much is the MLE and does that mean we can sign both Barbosa and use the MLE on someone else?
We're at 14 players currently I believe so I guess it wouldn't matter if we could sign 2 or not because don't have room for 2.
I really don't know a lot about the new CBA. What exactly is bird rights to Barbosa? And I thought I saw something us about us renouncing the rights to him.
Thanks for not being a jerk by the way. I appreciate an honest response
Actually, we did bring in the entire bench on occasion last season. I didn't think it was until the end of the season when we started leaving some of the starters out there. Usually Granger.
I know Green can score but I don't know about Augustin and Stephenson. They both shot 37.6% last season. Collison/Hill shot 44.0%/44.2%, Barbosa 42.5% and Dahntay Jones 40.9%. So we had three guards on the bench shooting better than both last season. Green is good though, no issues with his ability to score. He was great last year.
I think our bench got a lot better just as long as we add another shooter. I'm fine with bringing Barbosa back but I just feel like Green is the only guy on the bench that can shoot at the moment. Maybe Augustin and Stephenson will have a lot better seasons but they weren't too hot last season.

Whoa, really? I though all teams were entitled to the MLE and teams who were over the cap only had a Mini MLE?
Could we still re-sign Barbosa though because of the bird rights or whatever?
You have to start over the cap to have an MLE. But you you start under you are allowed to go over by something like $2.75 million to fill out your roster or something like that.
At what point do you start having to pay luxury tax? I didn't think we're willing to do that.
According to this, we should have an additional 5mil to spend.Mid-level exception
Once a year, teams can use a mid-level exception (MLE) to sign a player to a contract for a specified maximum amount. The amount of the MLE and its duration depend on the team's cap status. The MLE is $5 million for a duration of four years for teams that are over the cap either before or after the signing, but did not pay a luxury tax in the previous season. Teams without cap room that paid tax in the previous season have an MLE of $3 million with a three-year duration. Teams with cap room, previously ineligible for the MLE, have a new MLE of $2.5 million with a two-year duration. The MLE is frozen at the stated levels through the 201213 season, after which it increases by 3% per season.
Before the 2011 CBA, the MLE was equal to the average NBA salary for all teams over the cap. Teams with cap room were previously ineligible for the MLE. The Mid-Level Exception for the 200809 NBA season was $5.585*million.The MLE was $5.854*million for the 200910 NBA regular season.
So realistically, we could make a bid on Scola still? I think someone said the starting bid has to be 3.3mil?
Or we could sign another shooter which I really think we could use. Probably someone on the cheaper side like Jodie Meeks or Michael Redd. But if we have 5 mil, that means we could also make a run at Mayo, Lee or West? Or bring back Barbosa.
That's awesome if we still have 5 million left.
Augustin was great before he got injured early in the year, plus he had to shoulder too much of a load given how horrible the team was. He should be more effficient in his new role.
No cap space left.
No MLE either. In any case, can't use MLE to claim amnesty players.
We do have a $2.5m "room" exception. That's a new wrinkle in the current CBA. However, from what our FO is saying, it seems unlikely that we'll be doing any more spending. Maybe another min level player or 2 for depth. But if it's true that we're looking to bring back Barbosa, then we might be saving that room exception for him.
I'm pretty sure we must have renounced Barbosa's Bird rights already. There's no other way we could have fit the Augustin and Green signings otherwise. (Mahinmi was a S&T that didn't require cap space).
As mentioned above, no MLE because we already used cap space to sign Augustin and Green. But we still have the $2.5m room exception to spend if the FO is willing.
We weren't using MLE money to sign Green and Augustine, we should have the full 5 million, since we weren't paying the Luxury Tax last season, unless i'm completely reading the provision incorrectly. We signed green and Augustin with our own cap space that was free before officially inking Hibbert and Hill, why would that effect our MLE, which applies even if the MLE itself is the reason for going over the cap?
Last edited by daschysta; 07-14-2012 at 03:15 AM.
Can't have both cap space and full MLE in the same season. Or to be more precise technically, the MLE counts against the cap and we would have to waive it in order to use our cap space to sign players.
See: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q26
I'm still getting used to this new CBA. Are we 100% sure we have some smaller version of the MLE right now? Is it 2.5, 2.75, or 3m?
I think we should have at least the room exception which is 2.5M I think.

Tuesday's earnings report for Yahoo! (YHOO) was another rock-solid one for the company and new CEO Marissa Mayer.
The company surprised with a beat on both the top and bottom lines. These gains came primarily on the back of a 14% increase in search revenue. Display ads were a disappointment, dropping 5% from a year ago.
Yahoo! also retired nearly 100 million shares in the quarter, spending half of the $3 billion in proceeds from the Alibaba-stake sale from a few months back. That means it still has $1.5 billion to spend in the coming months.
If you go back and look at Yahoo!'s move to $20 from $16 in the last few months, the biggest move happened in November and December. Coincidentally, Yahoo! wasn't able to do a lot of buying of the stock until a few days after the October conference call and stopped at the end of the quarter. The stock hasn't moved as much in January with, presumably, the company not buying before the earnings.
Nearly halfway through the fourth quarter, as of Nov. 8, Yahoo! said it only bought back $212 million. Yet it spent another $1.3 billion between then and the end of the year.
This raises the question of when the next big slug of stock buybacks arrives. My guess is it's coming in February and March.
On the surface, it doesn't seem like a lot of shares are being retired. About 80 million shares over seven weeks is something like two million shares a day that Yahoo! is buying back. During that time, Yahoo! tended to be seeing daily volumes of something like 20-25 million shares.
Yet, having the perceived floor of a steady buyer can't be underestimated either. Yahoo's shares rose $4 a share over that time. Investors would love to see it rise another $4 in the coming months.
Other things to watch for in the weeks ahead that could be helpful to the stock:
- Details of a planned Alibaba IPO for this year.
- More clarification about the Yahoo! Japan relationship and possible monetization of the stock.
- A renegotiation of the Microsoft (MSFT) search deal in a way that benefits Yahoo further.
- Increased cost savings from headcount reductions and drops in G&A.
- Signs of fixes to display ads.

The biggest takeaway of the call was Marissa. She's a rock solid CEO with a deep knowledge of the business and very fast on her feet in her responses. If you recall, try to go back in time and remember a Carol Bartz earnings call by comparison. Mayer is truly impressive as a leader.
The best of Yahoo is definitely yet to come.

As part of my role at Bob's Red Mill, I field all sorts of requests for product- from magazines and food writers to professional athletes and movies. I have never gotten a request for samples from a musician, until I met Naomi LaViolette.
Naomi contacted me a few months ago to let us know that she had used our organic quinoa in her album. Evidently, her team was looking for a specific shaker sound and nothing was producing the right noise. Heading back to the kitchen, she told me, her producer had a moment of inspiration when he spotted our bag of quinoa on his shelves. It turned out that quinoa was just the sound they were seeking!
Naomi uses quinoa in her song "Somewhere New to Stand" on her soon-to-be released self-titled album. Her music falls somewhere beautiful between folk and jazz. Naomi is one of many musicians who hails from Portland and we think she's really something special. Check out her website and music– we hope you think it's as special as we do.

Every year we attend Mid America Motorworks' Funfest, we're struck by the volume of Corvette owners who converge at the event held in Effingham, Illinois. While a pleasant enough place to visit, the town isn't exactly on the tip of every tourist's tongue as a destination. So obviously Mike Yager, Mid America's self-described "Chief Cheerleader," is doing something right to pull in some 17,000 Corvettes and 45,000 enthusiasts during the four-day celebration in mid September. We know people aren't driving all that way just to check out the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (though we confess to taking a quick peek inside to see what's really inside that sausage casing).
As for obvious draws, we could point to all the displays of both collectible and customized Corvettes, along with festivities such as rock-star performances by ex-Eagle Don Felder. And to be sure, a lot of Vette owners hope to take home a trophy from the Winners Corral in recognition of their prized rides.
But at the end of the day, some of the biggest attractions are under the tent. Well, actually two tents, because Funfest now has a tent-like Install Dome erected just for attendees to enhance their cars, along with another dome for obtaining all sorts of Corvette-themed goodies. While the weather was mercifully cooler than usual this year, these temporary structures provide protected areas for Corvette owners to pander to their automotive passion. Who can blame them? When you drive America's sports car, it deserves nothing less than the best, along with all the apparel and accessories touting that fact.
So we decided to highlight in the accompanying photos not only the cool-looking Corvettes at Funfest 2011, but also all the upgrades and embellishments that keep people coming back to the event year after year. You might spy just what you're looking for hereùand if not, you can always visit Funfest next year.
Speaking of upcoming events, the 2012 Funfest, to be held September 14-16, will honor the 50th anniversary of the '63 Sting Ray, with a particular focus on one of the most venerated Vettes of all time, the Split Window Coupe. So we're looking forward to even more Corvette excitement under the Big Tops.

Russell, from The Linear Edge was looking for some cash in return for his Yamaha R6. No problem, he could just drop an ad on Craigslist, right? Sadly, it's not that easy. Aside from credit card scammers, Craig Newmark-verse is also populated with morons. Like this guy. He didn't even have a real 18-wheeler to trade.
Intrigued by the offer -- 18-wheelers often trade for six figures --
Russell asked the guy what he had to offer. It was this, a single-axle
'89 GMC Brigadier, hardly a fair trade for the Yamaha.

Make the Market Work for You
A good friend of mine who trades the S&P 500 commented yesterday that if you had told him President Obama would win re-election handily and that the GOP would be forced to give in on both the fiscal cliff and the debt ceiling, he would have shorted the market to the maximum of his credit lines. The conventional wisdom was that all of those events would be horrible for the economy and the market would plunge. They all happened and bottoming at 1350 in November the stock market has shot right up to the 1500 area.
We are in one of these "all news is good news" markets. Amazon (AMZN) posted disappointing results according to the analysts, but the stock went higher. On Wednesday, the GDP report was the worst in some time. Had this happened in a different time period, we might have seen a stupendous selloff.

FORMER England fast bowler Neil Foster believes the time is right for Alastair Cook to stand down as the national side's one-day captain.
Foster is still confident that Cook can bounce back from his – and England's – miserable winter in Australia. Cook leads England into their fourth one-day international in Perth tomorrow morning on the back of nine successive defeats in all formats of the game.
And those results, coupled with Cook's lack of form, has led him to consider his position as one-day skipper.
Foster, who played nearly 50 limited-overs matches for England during a successful career, feels Cook should quit as one-day captain, to concentrate on scoring runs.
But the 51-year-old former Essex star still believes his county counterpart is the man to lead his country in the Test Match arena.
Foster said: "I don't think Alastair's the obvious one-day captain. "Having the added pressure of being captain and a player looking for runs isn't helping him.
"I think one of the main things we have to do is find a way of him scoring lots of runs for us.
"The collective form of the side isn't helping Alastair either at the moment and it's been an awful winter for England.
"When no-one in the team is scoring runs it makes scoring runs much harder as captain, because you want to lead from the front.
"Alastair is one of the best players England have ever had and it's a given that we pick him in the Test Match side.
"Alastair is under a lot of scrutiny and he's getting a lot of criticism at the moment.
"It's been an awful winter but he'll get better as a Test captain if they stick with him.
"I do think that he can bounce back from what has happened this winter." Foster, who played for Essex between 1980 to 1993, had highs and lows on tour during his international career. He was part of the England Ashes side that triumphed Down Under in 1987.
"I've been part of an England squad that has toured Australia in the past," said Foster, who was part of the England one-day side that reached the World Cup Final in Australia, in 1992.
"We were there for four and a half months and in those days, the tours were a lot longer.
"You're away from home for a long time and it's made even tougher when you're not doing well as a team.
"I went to the West Indies with England, we had one victory in three months and it's a very depressing thing.
"Everyone thinks it must be great to be part of a touring party but it's only great when you're a good team and winning matches."

Chicken and Egg Wrap - Kathi Roll
In Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) in East India, kathi rolls are a staple food. Kathi Rolls are pancakes or parathas are filled with vegetables, cooked chicken or meat. Watching a kathi roll being made is fascinating.
|Chicken and Egg Wrap - Kathi Roll
|A ball of dough is picked up and put onto the fat on the hot tawa or griddle. It is flipped over and quickly spread.
|Makes approx 6 rolls
For the filling:
Mix the filling ingredients, except the oil, together. Cover and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge. Soak 6 wooden skewers in cold water. Skewer the chicken and grill, barbecue, or bake at 180C/350F/gas mark 4 for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked. Baste with oil halfway through cooking. For the parathas, sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the oil, milk, and 1 egg and knead for 7-10 minutes.

LOMPICO -- The results of Tuesday's elections will usher in renewed talks about merging two water districts in the San Lorenzo Valley, with discussions possibly starting later this month.
The idea of merging the Lompico Water District with the San Lorenzo Valley Water District developed two years ago. Bill Smallman, Rick Harrington and Lois Henry, all of whom support the move, retained their seats on Lompico's board of directors. Their three challengers wanted the district to remain independent, and with at least one current board member in the same camp, a majority vote to drop the idea would have curtailed those discussions.
As the talks move forward, Lompico is focusing on getting its affairs in order and repairing its infrastructure, ensuring the larger district does not inherit a crumbling system. As part of that plan, a rate increase went into effect last year, leaving the small, 494-hookup district with a $23,000 surplus.
But its board still must contend with the financial fallout related to its decision to withdraw from the California Public Employees' Retirement System, a move that could cost as much as $741,000. That news took both districts by surprise, with Jim Mueller, San Lorenzo Valley's general manager, saying the opt-out fee was not part of the "conceptual framework" for the merger.
"We knew there was a potential liability," he said, but the size of that liability was unknown until recently. That bill is Lompico ratepayers' sole responsibility, and yet another issue the district must contend with before a merger can occur.
The next step, Henry said, is to hammer out an agreement between the two boards that nails down the costs and timeline for the infrastructure repairs, and the terms of a bond measure that would be used to pay for it.
Officials from five water districts, including Lompico and San Lorenzo Valley, hope to hear soon whether the state will provide funds to build a regional system that would tie the systems together for emergency purposes. Lompico's and San Lorenzo Valley's systems would have to be tied together under the merger scenario, so if the grant is approved, it would shave off part of the bond cost. The merger is estimated to cost more than $5 million.
After an agreement is reached, Henry said, the districts will hold a series of community informational meetings to dispel some of the "misinformation" spread about the merger in the lead-up to the elections. The two winners in San Lorenzo Valley's race, Margaret Bruce and Randall Brown, are also pro-merger, Henry added, and can help provide guidance as the process moves forward.

The talk amongst salmon anglers for the last seven to 10 days was all about the wind - and did it ever blow. The lone exception was Sunday, when the wind relented long enough for the ocean to calm and the boats made a mad dash to the salmon grounds. The boats basically picked up right where they left off last week, scoring easy limits of salmon straight out of the entrance in 170 feet of water. But that turned out to be just a tease as the wind howled for the next three days. But alas, the weather pattern is finally changing and it looks like we'll be able to spend some days on the water. Thursday is looking like the first real fishable day, and the conditions are forecasted to improve through the weekend.
The calm ocean should also improve the chances of success for the anglers looking to target redtail perch and razor clams. Both of these are tough to catch when the ocean is rough.
Weekend marine forecast
After a week or so of nasty wind and choppy waters, we're finally getting some fishable forecasts. Ocean conditions for the weekend are calling for three to four-foot swells and one-foot wind waves. Light winds up to eight knots will be blowing out of the NW, but it looks like we'll have quite a few fishable days in front of us. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka/. You can also call the National Weather Service at (707) 443-7062 or the office on Woodley Island at (707) 443-6484.
Statewide free fishing day
On July 7, people may fish California's waters without a sport fishing license. All regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect. Every angler must have the appropriate report card if fishing for salmon (in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity River systems), steelhead or sturgeon. For more information visit, www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/freefishdays.html.
Abalone season closing
Abalone season will close June 30 and will be closed for the month of July. It will reopen on August 1. For more information, visit http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/invertebrate/abalone.asp
The beaches
The current round of minus tides will continue through Sunday, June 24 and according to John Corbett of Eureka's Pacific Outfitters, the weekend should be prime for razor clam digging. "With the ocean once again calm, I would expect the clamming to be good. It's really tough to find them when the surf is pounding," Corbett said. The next set of fishable minus tides will begin on Monday, July 2. The weekend should also offer a good opportunity to catch redtail perch off the beaches. "I'm sure all the usual spots are full of perch and it looks like we finally have some good conditions. Elk River Beach is also a good spot this time of year," Corbett added.
Tuna water getting close
According to Captain Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, there's a mass of 58-degree water sitting straight off of Shelter Cove. "As of Wednesday, it was about 50 miles southwest of Eureka. If the ocean stays as calm as predicted, I would imagine a few boats out of Eureka will be making the run," Klassen added.
The Oceans:
Having spent way too many days tied up at the dock, both Skipper Phil Glenn of Shellback Sport Fishing and Captain Tim Klassen on the Reel Steel took advantage of last Sunday's break in the weather and ran west to where they last left the salmon biting. And it didn't take long to determine the fish were still there. In less than a couple hours of fishing around the 45 line in 175 feet of water, both boats were limited with a nice grade of kings up to 20 pounds. Captain Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sport Fishing, as well as Glenn and Klassen, will all be running daily trips beginning Thursday.
Shelter Cove
There isn't much happening on the fishing front reports Russ Thomas of Mario's Marina in Shelter Cove. "The wind has been blowing and not many boats have been going out, maybe a couple a day. I did hear of three salmon caught on Monday, all around the bell, but that has been about it. Until we get a break from the wind, there isn't going to be much action here," Thomas added.
According to Phil Pritting of Eureka's Englund Marine, a few boats ventured out on Wednesday and found a bunch of hungry salmon, with easy limits reported for everyone. "I heard the fishing was red-hot in 120 to 140 feet of water and the fish were shallow," Pritting added.
Crescent City
The only action we've had over the last week has been crabbing reports Chris Hegnes of Crescent City's Englund Marine. "The wind has been blowing for a week and not many boats have been going out. The lone bright spot has been the crabbing. Inside the harbor as well as along South Beach have been two of more popular spots," Hegnes said. The wind did lie down on Wednesday and the offshore forecast looks good throughout the weekend.
The Rivers:
Lower Klamath
According to Guide Mike Coopman of Mike Coopman's Guide Service, the springer action on the Klamath remains slow, but a few fish are being caught. "I'd say the average is about one fish per boat, with the occasional good day where you could land three or four. But those days have been few and far between," Coopman added.

Making The Film
Using The Film
Stoney Knows How
Stoney Knows How is a visit with a master of the oldest art in the world - Tattooing. Disabled by rheumatoid arthritis since the age of four, and forced to use a wheelchair, his growth stunted, Stoney St. Clair (1912 - 1980) joined the circus at 15 as a sword-swallower. A year later, he learned to tattoo, and for the next 50 years, he continued to work as a tattooist traveling with circus and carnivals across the country. As we watch him at work, we see the determination which led Stoney to overcome his handicap to heal himself and others with the magic of symbols. The film ends with a visit by New School master tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy who pays Stoney the highest compliment by asking him for a souvenier tattoo. For more information on the life of Leonard L. "Stoney" St. Clair, see Alan Govenar, Stoney Knows How: Life as a Sideshow Tattoo Artist", Schiffer Publishing, 2003.
For a DVD copy of this film contact http://www.docfilm.com.
Stoney Knows How is an extended interview with 'Stoney' St. Clair, an ebullient little man with the gift of gab of a circus tout and a fund of bizarre stories about tattooing and other matters. One of these is the tale of a Florida snake handler and tattoo artist who was squeezed to death by his own python. His widow made a fortune touring the South with the guilty snake. "After all," says Stoney, "how often do you get a chance to see a snake that's squeezed a man to death?" Not often, nor does one often have the opportunity to meet a man like Stoney. The film makers treat him with respect, fondness and appreciation, and he responds in kind.

Have you ever wondered how some of the behaviors, habits, traditions, and phrasology we silly little humans have come to practice and utilize ever came into existence?
It was one of the reasons why I always like George Carlin. He was always coming up with those "intriguing" types of questions after visiting his Toledo Window Box.
For instance....
Who was the first person to ever give somebody the middle finger?
What kind of situation were they involved in where the only reaction they could come up with was pointing their middle finger at them? Why the middle one? And I wonder what that person on the receiving end thought?
Got any more?

Markakis slated to undergo MRI on neck Monday
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Nick Markakis, who confirmed he will get an MRI on his neck Monday, said he isn't that concerned about the injury because of how he feels and the reassurance from team doctors that don't believe there's any structural damage.
"I think it's just some muscle tightness, but we'll definitely find out tomorrow," said Markakis who last played on March 1 and was scratched from Sunday's lineup after coming in with a neck spasm.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said before Saturday's game that he's also optimistic the MRI is more precautionary, although Markakis isn't improving as quickly as the team had hoped.
"I can't pinpoint exactly what it was because I didn't feel anything [right away]," Markakis said of how the injury occurred. I thought about what it could be. Maybe dehydration and working out and straining a muscle, or even sleeping on it or something along those lines, but I don't know. We'll see tomorrow, though."
The neck issue is the latest in an unfortunate injury bout for Markakis, one of the team's toughest players, who had three surgeries (abdominal, right wrist and left thumb) in 2012. Slated to be the team's starting right fielder, Markakis has played in at least 160 games in three of the last four years. He's played in four games this spring, going 3-for-12 with an RBI and two strikeouts.

While many people involved with the north Vallejo lake agree that the 142-year-old man-made earthen reservoir has value, the mostly city-owned asset garners little attention.
Lake Chabot, just south of Highway 37 and publicly accessible via the city's Dan Foley Park, was built as a private water supply reservoir in 1871.
When drought, infrastructure and personality problems with developer Anthony Chabot began to reduce the city's confidence in the water source, city trustees led by city leader John Frey convinced voters to approve a $250,000 bond to build the city's own municipal water system, in 1892. That was just as Chabot's federally granted water franchise expired and about four years after his death.
Lake Frey remains to this day as one of the reservoirs supplying Vallejo's water system.
Some 50 years later, Vallejo bought Lake Chabot, maintaining the reservoir as a back-up water source for another decade.
Since then, the secluded lake has served as a backdrop and occasional water skiing attraction for what is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. It also serves as a fishing and boating recreation site managed by the Greater Vallejo Recreation District, as well as an irrigation water source for the county and flood control measure collecting area storm water runoff.
The State Water Resources Control Board's San Pablo Basin plan rates Lake Chabot as supporting agricultural and municipal supply, cold and warm freshwater habitat, water contact and non-contact recreation, fish spawning and wildlife habitat.
Gaining notoriety
While Lake Chabot's biggest problem these days may be anonymity, it has come into the spotlight in past years for less benign reasons.
In January 1982, almost 2,000 Vallejo residents -- largely in the Lofas housing subdivision -- were evacuated due to a 100-year storm that flooded Lake Chabot and topped its spillway. A second, less devastating flood hit the city again in 1986.
Later that same year, Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District trustees voted to pour an estimated $5.2 million into creating a flood prevention plan and improved drainage plan for the area around Lake Chabot Dam.
Lake Chabot also has been a popular target for pointed odor jabs over the years. A 1970 Times-Herald report referred to the lake as an "ecological horror," describing an area where the water had receded becoming "dank with rotting tules and grass."
In 2003, Six Flags officials, who hosted a regular water skiing show in the water, complained of a foul-smelling algae bloom that hindered the park's water skiing program. That year, the county health department recommended visitors stay out of the water, due to unsafe levels of mildly pathogenic, microscopic material called fecal coliform.
Community benefits
Lake Chabot's history, by far, has not been confined to a rank aroma.
In March 1971, the then-state Department of Fish and Game (now Fish and Wildlife) conducted its first "fish planting" in Lake Chabot, with 2,500 rainbow trout delivered for the first time.
The event drew more than 150 people to Dan Foley Park to watch the event, according to Times-Herald reports. Today's "Fishing in the City," is an annual event partnering the state, the local Rotary club, the Greater Vallejo Recreation District and community volunteers to take advantage of the fishing opportunity.
"I think the lake has a lot of value to a community -- aesthetics, environmental, recreational," Greater Vallejo Recreation District General Manager Shane McAffee said. "It's really neat to have a lake.... (Dan Foley Park) would be just another park without it."
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, too, benefits, said park spokeswoman Nancy Chan.
"Lake Chabot provides a beautiful and serene backdrop to the park, especially adjacent to the animal areas where there is a nice balance of nature and solitude," Chan said. "While the rest of the park is much more active and populated throughout the day, areas around the lake offer a calm, relaxed environment for guests."

Alto Adige is a prime source for excellent white wines from both native and international grapes. Because this region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1917, you will find many Germanic grape varieties here, such as Riesling and Gewurztraminer. Alto Adige's Sauvignons and Pinot Grigios can be world-class, but its Chardonnays, as elsewhere in Italy, are generally less distinctive. Friuli-Venezia-Giulia produces very good Sauvignons, Pinot Grigios, and Pinot Biancos, as well as some delightful--and sometimes more serious--whites from native grapes like Ribolla, Malvasia, and Tocai.
Italy, like France, offers a world of wine styles within a single country: dry Italian white wines ranging from lively and minerally to powerful and full-bodied; cheap and cheerful Italian red wines in both a cooler, northern style and a richer, warmer southern style; structured, powerful reds capable of long aging in bottle; sparkling wines; sweet wines and dessert wines.
Most of Italy enjoys a relatively warm climate, and the southern portion of the country can be particularly hot in the summer months. However, Italy's Apennine mountain chain, which traverses the country from north to south, provides an almost infinite number of soil types and exposures, as well as favored hillside sites in virtually every region, where vines can be cultivated at higher, cooler altitudes. Mountainous terrain has also resulted in the segregation of many small wine regions, enabling dozens of indigenous grape varieties to survive in near isolation. Here, Italy markedly differs from most of the wine world, which is becoming increasingly international in nature.
But Italian wine, as most North Americans know it, is a fairly recent phenomenon. Prior to the 1950s, only a tiny proportion of Italy's wines were even bottled by the farmer who grew the grapes. Most Italian wine was consumed by the local market. The Italian government's DOC system (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), created in the 1960s, imposed more explicit standards and thereby improved Italian wine quality while at the same clarifying the labeling of wines and thus making it far easier for Italian producers to ship their wines abroad. (Today DOCG -- Controllata e Garantita -- is theoretically the highest level in the quality pyramid of Italian wine, with this special status more recently granted to such historically important Italian wine areas as Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello di Montalcino and others: areas that had previously enjoyed DOC status for at least five years.)
Of course, some of the most innovative Italian wine makers quickly began to look for ways to escape the restrictions of this system. They believed that DOC laws actually prevented them from making the best possible wines -- for example, by proscribing the use of certain grape varieties or by requiring them to age their wines in wood barrels longer than they believed was beneficial in some years. Those with a more independent bent essentially opted out of the system, instead producing wines that were simply classified as Vini da Tavola (table wines) but that in a number of cases surpassed the "official" best Italian wines in quality and price. (A new law passed in 1992 created the IGT category, or Indicazione Geografica Tipica, for the innovative Vini da Tavola for which DOCs were not yet created.) These trailblazers have revolutionized Italian wine over a period in which French wines have merely "evolutionized."
One of the wine world's love-it-or-hate-it grapes, Gewürztraminer is for many wine lovers the signature variety of Alsace. Its highly perfumed aromas of rose petal, smoked meat, lychee, grapefruit, and spices are immediate and captivating, although some examples lack refinement and seem a bit blowzy owing to low acidity and high alcohol. Gewürztraminer is as unlike the steelier, more aristocratic Riesling as a white grape can be. No other region of the world has been able to produce significant quantities of Gewürztraminer that even approach the decadent richness and exotic fruit qualities that the best producers in Alsace achieve. Still, other than late-harvest versions, Gewürztraminer is normally a dry wine in Alsace, despite smelling like a sweet one. Gewürztraminer marries beautifully with rich, fatty dishes like pork and goose or ripe cheeses, as well as with the exotic spices of Moroccan, Indian, and Far Eastern cuisines.
2012 had 16 regions scored 95 or above. Oregon got the highest score, with a 97.
Other regions that scored 95 points or higher were Anderson Valley (California), Barossa / McLaren Vale, Brunello di Montalcino (Tuscany), Columbia Valley, Napa, Chablis, Champagne, Coonwarra, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Germany, Graves, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Washington.

LAKEPORT -- Hundreds helped Sponsoring Survivorship set a record Saturday morning during its 17th annual walk/run honoring breast cancer victims and survivors and supporting the search for a cure.
"Being able to support our community in their treatments with breast cancer and see their beautiful faces on our run day is special," co-founder Julie Kelley said. "My heart is very tender for those we have lost, and I am so humbled for the families and friends who come and stand in their memory."
A total of 363 people participated, an all-time record for the event.
Attendees helped raise more than $16,000 for Sponsoring Survivorship, a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to assisting Lake County women and men as they battle breast cancer.
One of the big-ticket items during the post-event raffle was a queen-sized quilt created by Eva Scott, who lost her battle with breast cancer at age 59 on Aug. 13.
"(Sponsoring Survivorship) helped her, so she wanted to give back. She considered them her angel," sister Nancy Brenton said. "The support that she got from them was amazing."
The organization covered medical expenses and provided emotional support for Scott, a Kelseyville resident and former teacher at Mountain Vista Middle School.
"If it weren't for them, I'd be destitute right now," husband Randy Scott said.
The raffle for Scott's quilt, "Pink Light of Sunrise," raised more than $2,300.
"It's so important to know that local people benefit," Kelseyville resident T.J. Aldrich said after completing the walk.
Aldrich walked Saturday with sister Debra Lowell, a breast cancer survivor.
"That I walked two years ago for her because she couldn't walk and now we're walking together. It's incredible," Aldrich said.
Lowell, who said she felt great Saturday, remembered crying during the walk. "I'm just so happy that I could walk in this event," the Kelseyville resident added.
Those supporting Sponsoring Survivorship Saturday chose between a 2-kilometer walk, 5-kilometer walk, 5-kilometer run and 10-kilometer run.
"It was nice, good weather," Dick Bode of North Lakeport said after completing the 2K walk. "It's good to see a lot of people get out that don't normally get out."
"It was beautiful running by the lake," first-time participant Cheri Farrell said. "I'm glad this is all staying in the county."
The walk/run is held annually in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For more information on Sponsoring Survivorship, visit www.sponsoringsurvivorship.com.

Photoshop is one of the most amazing software programs ever developed. It's a fun and creative way to alter photos and prepare them for print or the Web. In this course, you can take your Photoshop skills to the next level by exploring more advanced features in Photoshop that let you easily re-edit projects long after they were originally created (and long after the Photoshop "undo" command has expired).
These techniques, called non-destructive editing, let you work faster and reuse parts of images over and over again. If you like scrapbooking or want to make page layouts that you can fill with different graphics, you'll learn how to create reusable templates.
You'll learn how to save every single pixel in your original image so you never have to say, "I'm sorry I tossed that information." You'll see how to use Smart Objects, so that even if you crop or resize an image, you'll be able to get it back to its original size months afterwards. (And you'll learn some tricks to warp Smart Objects that will make the tabloid newspapers jealous!)
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Each time you edit the exposure in an image, you lose image quality. But what if there were a way to edit the exposure as much as you wanted and not hurt the quality? There is! An Adjustment layer makes no permanent change to the image, and you can stack up these layers as you wish. You won't ever want to apply a regular Levels command or Adjustment command directly to an image again.
Have you ever wondered how to put images inside type, like those old postcards for various cities? You'll find out today. It's called a clipping mask, and it's a digital version of spreading glitter onto a paper that has a design drawn in glue—the glitter only sticks to the glue. In this case, the new layers only stick to the base layer in the clipping mask. Making a clipping mask is easy, but it provides one of Photoshop's "wow" moments.

The two courses that I have taken in Photoshop 6, like a great show, have only left me begging for more. Thank you for all of the exciting and fulfilling lessons and your ongoing support. I wish you all the best and hope that someday, you will have time to create more advanced classes for Photoshop.
I loved this course. Sherry is a great instructor and Beth is a great teaching assistant. They both gave me plenty of encouragement and great feedback whenever I posted anything in the Discussion Area. I have told my friends about this course and how great and useful it is.
Adjustment layers have really opened my eyes to nondestructive editing. I used to always do my changes on the image itself, now this makes it way easier to undo and add more!
Everything about this course was outstanding - the instructor, the teaching assistant, the material and the instructions.

Dear god this game fun as hell. Suda 51 really went all nutso as usual. There's a satisfying feeling about using a multitude of moves to decapitate your enemy.
Boss fights are freaking amazing.

It's true.
Just like comic books and rock 'n' roll music turned kids into violent, sexual deviants in the 1950's.
Fox News and every other ignorant news organization will dub him, "expert" on video games.
But anyway, the last games I've played have been Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360, Halo 3, NBA 2K8.
Surprisingly to Mr. Thompson's research and belief, I have yet to kill anyone even after killing almost 7,600 players on Call of Duty 4 multi player.....
I've actually never even been in a fight, but to Mr. Thompson's beliefs, I should probably have been in multiple ones and probably should be a murderer by now.
After all, I did grow up with Goldeneye 007, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty.......

Call of Doody is doomed! Frontlines - Fuel of War drops February 25. Intense multiplayer action with large maps, vehicles and kick *** weapons on dedicated servers. No more "hosted games" by 10 year old retards with lingering lag problems. No more running and gunning in circles, no, those days are over. But wait, there's more! Battlefield Bad Company drops summer 2008.
Those are both PC games, right?
Eventually I'll have a gaming centered PC, but not now.
Nevermind, both are going to be on 360, and I am very intrigued by Battlefield Bad Company, apparently you can do damage to the environment to your advantage. Graphics look pretty good, and it says the game has been delayed and not due until fiscal year 2009 which is starting in April 2008 and ends March 2009, hopefully summer 2008 is when it drops.

Yeah I'm still at a wall when it comes to playing on hard. I can play the entry songs, but as soon as the songs get tricky, I fall apart on hard.

Perhaps a little off topic, but a patent doesn't stop people from using the knowledge. In fact, the point of the patent system is that a patent discloses the knowledge so that others can use it. There is nothing to stop the researcher from developing a new drug using a patented process. It's in the selling of the drug where the patent issue would arise (and there would have to be negotiations over how much of the profit the patent-holder would receive).
There was a documentary about all of this, the whole copyright issue, I forgot what it was called. It was very interesting and at some point it provided a very compelling story about how many lives could have been saved had the system been different, and how the system only benefits those at the top and turns the rest of society into 'criminals'. I really can't put forth any good arguments or summary here, I'm not an expert, just thought I'd mention it because documentaries like these can really change your opinion on government policy around. I know it did for me. I guess this will always be a difficult issue, as a Buddhist you'll probably want to know if there is "suffering" on behalf of the artist or whether downloading actually benefits the artist, and with all people, publishers, media companies and lobbies involved in this system it is quite difficult to determine. Reminds me of fish in the ocean dying because of some types of shampoo: Somtimes it is just beyond our ability to fully understand what our choices actually cause..

Selena Gomez Wins Choice Breakup Song, Choice Music Star + Choice Hottie at 2013 Teen Choice Awards
Selena Gomez, looking lovely in an emerald green dress with strategically placed cut-outs, won the 2013 Teen Choice Award for Choice Breakup song for her first No. 1 hit 'Come & Get It,' among other honors!
The singer, navigating her first major (and very public) breakup with Justin Bieber, took the stage to nab her surfboard for the Choice Breakup Song award, keeping her acceptance speech short and about her fans, since they are the ones who voted for her.
"Thank you guys so much," Gomez said. "I think it's an encouraging song, so I am glad everyone is responding to it… This is your award, this isn't mine."
Surf's up for a breakup!
That wasn't the only surfboard that Gomez nabbed this evening (Aug. 11). The singer and actress also picked up two more TCAs. Choice Music Star (Female) and Choice Hottie (Female) were her other wins of the night.
Congrats Sel! It's your night, for sure.

Venturing on the road for the first time in Southeastern Conference play, the LSU women's basketball team's trek to Florida might include unveiling a tweaked offensive identity.
After an 84-79 victory over Ole Miss on Thursday, coach Nikki Caldwell hinted that there may be an effort to work more in the halfcourt and with a bigger lineup of forwards Theresa Plaisance and Bianca Lutley.
The shift to a larger front line and slowing the pace proved critical for LSU (10-4, 1-0) in subduing Ole Miss, which shot 44.6 percent, including 10 of 22 from behind the 3-point line.
The Tigers shot just 1 of 4 in the final five minutes but were able to get to the line to seal the victory, hitting 5 of 8 free throws in the final two minutes.
"We did slow the ball down," Caldwell said. "If we had numbers, we went after it. If not, we pulled back and ran our action, and we were patient."
The Gators (11-4, 0-1) pose another test to an LSU team searching for consistency on defense, too. Florida is third in the SEC at 74.5 points per game, while LSU is last, allowing 66.1. Forward Jennifer George leads the Gators at 14.6 points per game.
"She's a dominant player for them around the block and on the glass," Caldwell said. "Transition defense is also going to be key. We can't allow them to get second and third opportunities."
Yet Caldwell sounded a note of confidence, too.
"We're a team that every game is going to be a battle for us," she said. "We're definitely figuring out what our defensive identity is going to be, but this team found a way to win."

I know this is ok for my hieght, but i have reduce this from 58.4kg in 3 months witnout exercising ,but only due to stress and a little bit of diet control. Due to stress i was not having of feeling of starvation. I am an epileptic and my weight is increasing due to my medication also. Now i want to shape and tone my body, mylower abdominal part is quite chubby and my skin is very lose and chubbby from my calf of legs.I want to know the best indoor possible activity except exercising like walking on terrace or climbing stairs can these comeout with a good result and pls answer me in detail.
Congratulations on your recent weight loss. Following a regular exercise program can help maintain your weight loss and improve your overall health. The right exercise program can complement your life by providing you with benefits like more energy and strength.
You need a workable plan to move from inactivity to becoming physically active. Prior to beginning an exercise program, you should consult with your physician. In some cases your doctor may have certain restrictions you need to follow. Most importantly, you should choose exercises you enjoy and that you can perform year round. Begin gradually, making sure your first sessions of physical activity are fun and not too tiring.
The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendations for an exercise program for a healthy adult to develop and maintain cardiovascular fitness, strength training and flexibility.
Cardiovascular Training
Frequency -- 3-5 days per week.
Intensity -- Low to moderate intensity, approximately 55/65-90% of estimated maximum heart rate.
Duration -- Approximately 20-60 minutes of continuous activity.
Mode of Activity -- Continuous, rhythmical and aerobic using large muscle groups (walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, rowing, in-line skating, stair climbing, aerobic dance and cross country skiing).
It is important to gradually increase the amount of time and intensity of your exercise. When beginning an exercise program, 5-10 minutes of activity may be all you can do.
Resistance Training
Frequency -- 2-3 days per week with at least one day of rest between workouts; do not do resistance training on consecutive days.
Sets -- A minimum of one set, 8-12 repetitions to near muscular failure for general fitness.
Number of Exercises -- A minimum of 8-10 exercises involving the major muscle groups.
Speed -- Moderate to slow; each repetition should be approximately six seconds (3 up, 3 down).
Range of Motion -- Exercises should be performed through a full range of motion and should be pain free.
Flexibility exercises (stretching) should be included with every exercise session. Before stretching, warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cycling, walking, rowing, etc. Each stretch should be held for 15-30 seconds and repeated 2-4 times, alternating sides.
DO NOT stretch to the point of pain.
Wishing you the best of luck in all your exercise endeavors.

That is, of course, because the view might soon change. Then someone clicking the link later on will see something other that what the post is about, leading to: "What, is she nuts?"
But now that the leaves are mostly off the trees and the footers for Bakuli are going in, there are some interesting goings-on down yonder.

I know I can't be the only "mother's worst nightmare" cyclist who occasionally listens to music while commuting. For those worried about my safety, let me assure you that the music is low (though my singing, often, is not) and doesn't drown out traffic any more than the wind noise does—I also frequently take advantage of the iPhone external speaker, to the chagrin of passers-by. Here are a few of the more recent songs that have been in heavy rotation during my rides this spring.
Monday morning revver-uppers
Songs for overcast days or the mulling over the day's events on the ride home
When I want to remember I'm in Nashville
Like everyone else in America, I am also wearing out the Adele record. Is there a song you can't stop listening to? Share in the comments!

Guest Since 2009
I try to come to San Diego with my daughter and now 6-year-old grandson a couple times a year and our first choice is always Paradise Point as this is a special place for us. My grandson and daughter were in a car accident when my grandson was just 17 days old. He was in intensive care for 2 weeks with a severe head injury. He is doing well now but still does not communicate very well and is on a special diet. We know he loves to come to Paradise Point. The first time he came to the island resort at the age of 3, he cried when he realized we were staying overnight. But he adjusted and we stayed another two days and he loved it. He now feels very comfortable with the grounds and has so much fun exploring and playing. He loves the beach and especially loves the pools. We always take him for a walk at night and take him into the Island Market, which he adores.

Houston Middle School Teacher Charged For Giving Student Birthday Lap Dance
A 42-year-old Houston middle school teacher faces federal charges for giving one of her students a birthday lap dance. Felicia A. Smith had no comment when she walked out of a courtroom last Thursday (April 25).
She posted $30,000 bond.
Smith gave the alleged butt-to-genitalia performance in February at the Aldine ISD's Stovall Middle School. The ordeal went down while fellow students watched and encouraged the 15-year-old youngster to take the seat of doom.
She has not been fired from the school. "A criminal charge of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student has been filed against a Stovall Middle School teacher," the school said in a statement. "The charge was filed by Aldine Independent School District Police, who investigated the case along with the campus administration. The teacher was removed from the campus during the investigation and has not returned. The district takes this allegation seriously and is fully cooperating with prosecutors. The safety and security of our students will continue to be a top priority in Aldine ISD."
The entire incident was caught on video surveillance. Prosecutors say that Smith even told the student she loved him during the "full contact" dance, and the youngster slapped her backside.
