I am the worst at starting a fire. There. I admitted it. My husband constantly scoffs at my attempts to start a fire without his assistance and it drives me crazy! I hate buying those fire starter logs because, come on, I'm trying to save money and warm our house with the fireplace, not spend more money on fire starters!
I've recently found several great articles on making my own fire starters and by spending little to no money!
Lint Fire Starters
With just some dryer lint, cardboard egg cartons and leftover wax from candles or crayons, you can make your own lint fire starters.
Pine Cone Fire Starters
I love the idea of these pine cone fire starters and they're pretty too! There's also these pine cone and orange peel fire starters that I'll bet smells wonderful.
Other Ideas for Homemade Fire Starters
I also found tutorials for these herbal fire starters that I will definitely be drying herbs from my garden next year to try as well as these fire starters made from wood pellet kitty litter. Not interested in making your own homemade fire starters but interested in buying some? You can always purchase these fire starters on etsy.

Elkhorn man competitive as ever despite paralysis
Murderball, anyone? It sounds like blood sport, but it is a team sport for athletes with disabilities.
Murderball is the politically incorrect name that participating athletes have given wheelchair rugby. It�s rough and tumble�literally.
Wheelchair rugby teaches life�s lessons to those who have suffered the hardest of knockdowns.
Kevin Kramer, 26, of Elkhorn started playing murderball eight months after he suffered a paralyzing spinal injury playing flag football at an indoor soccer field.
�I ran into a wall full speed with my head down,� Kramer said of his life-changing accident May 19, 2008.
Kramer fractured three vertebrae and pinched his spinal cord, which caused permanent paralysis from his waist down at age 23.
Young, strong and athletic, Kramer saw his life come crashing down.
�I was in the best shape of my life,� said Kramer, who played football at Williams Bay High School and St. Norbert College. �I weighed 190 pounds and not much body fat. I lost 35 pounds in two weeks.��
Fortunately for Kramer, he found his way back.
�I had the means,� Kramer said. �Wells Fargo (his employer at the time) got me some of the top doctors and cutting edge therapy.��
The therapy took Kramer to Lakeshore Foundation in Homewood, Ala., and murderball. Kramer found competitive people like himself working to put their lives back together.
�They kept picking at me to sign off on a waiver (to play rugby),� said Kramer, who could not resist the taunts. �Six months after my accident, I came to practice.��
Kramer�s antagonists became his inspiration.
�There were people 20-25 years older than me,� Kramer said. �They were pretty independent, and I learned a lot from them.��
Wheelchair rugby is played indoors on a hardwood court. The rules include elements of wheelchair basketball, ice hockey, handball and rugby union.
It is a contact sport.
�If you can knock somebody down (when they are driving for a goal), more power to you,� Kramer said. �My game chair is pretty dinged up.��
Four players on each team have 12 seconds to advance a ball from their backcourt into the frontcourt and a total of 40 seconds to score a point or concede possession.
It took Kramer a while, but he learned the training ropes for the game.
�It�s a completely different workout than I�ve ever done in my whole life,� said Kramer, who keeps fit by working out three days a week. �I always powerlifted, and now I lift more for stamina. I do cardio more than I used to.��
Kramer plays for the Milwaukee Iron. The team travels to tournaments throughout the country.
�We go to tournaments once or twice a month, depending on what we can afford,� Kramer said.
Kramer would enjoy playing more rugby and even taking a shot at a U.S. team tryout for the Paralympics, but working as a business manager at Kunes Country Ford in Delavan takes up his time.
�Right now, that�s out of the question,� Kramer said. �It�s a time commitment. I�m crankin� 45 to 60 hours a week.��
What is not out of the question is Kramer�s competitive edge for rugby and life.
�People assume that everything is so bad,� Kramer said. �But there are so many things in my life after my accident that are so much better than before my accident.��
After it all, Kramer is standing tall and proud.

I love love love my new journey
By i Heather on
Vehicle2010 Dodge Journey SXT 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewThis vehicle is absolutely amazing. It has an 3rd row of seats so I didn't have to buy a minivan. Plenty of space for all the extra kids I tote along everywhere. The drive and the ride is so smooth. All the extra storage spots are awesome. It is relaxing to drive this crossover. The gas mileage is average but great compared to what I was spending on gas in my Dodge Ram. The kids absolutely love everything in our Journey. So many windows, and not a blind spot anywhere. The 6 disc cd changer is great. There is nothing negative to say about this car. Did I mention that it is beautiful on the outside. What a sleek and sexy crossover!!
Best FeaturesThe sleek design, the drive, the storage, the dash. My favorite thing is that it has everything a minivan has including space, but it still has class and style!!
Worst FeaturesNone!

For what it's worth, the press you ordered is a good one. You very likely got the best choice you could have made.
A turret press can be used as a single stage until you learn the ropes loading in batches and then you can switch over to continuous mode (which the Classic Turret is ideally suited for) for its greater speed (if you want)
Progressives are faster, but more complex and more expensive. Not suited to every loader's temperament. If you don't need in excess of 200 rounds per hour, a single stage (around 50 rounds per hour) or turret (up to 150, maybe 200 rounds per hour) will do you fine.
The ABC's of Reloading will tell you the steps involved in loading. All loading manuals have, in their early chapters, descriptions of the process. Each has a different writing style and areas of emphasis, so reading several is worthwhile.
Here are some threads to read until you get your manual(s)
Go get a large mug of whatever you sip when you read and think and visit these sites.

There is a lady at work, who talks a mile a minute. I mean so very fast, so many words at a time!
Sometimes I feel that is how I write at forums. I blurt it out so fast; I run on and on; forgetting to ask questions; and not waiting for replies.
I merely do so, because I want the person to have all the information. So he or she may look more into it later, if they have the drive, like I do.
I sure do embarrass myself afterwards when I look again at them.
So that is what I have done again here:
Rainer Struss has been in a lot of places of Minnesota that makes me take in my breath. And this is one more time that he has done so. In this tree he has been hinting at the families I have have one or two o, f but not have spent the time connecting. Such as surnames, Hanson, Olson, Luhman, Malo, Rasche, Rathje and many more. Martin and Watonwan hold so many clues. and like all western states they tie into the west and the east. Settlers came from the east to Martin and wanted to be Gentelman farmers with maybe estates. That didn't really pan out for most of them. Many came from Illinois, Iowa and settled as a colony. All Pieces of a puzzle that need placement.
Naefke, Grote, Meyer, Kuhlman,
As others say when pieces flow together and fall like dominoes, it is a good day!
And I have already have had a good day.

ISV Software Architecture Workshop
Dec 10th 2009, Microsoft NYC
The second ISV Software Architecture Workshop organized in NYC this year took place on December 10th. The turnout was great and it is great to see that almost half of the participants were repeat offenders who already attended the first event in March 2009. The intended impact of the event is NSAT on the one hand and Microsoft technology adoption on the other and I think we this event we had a big impact on both of them in the NYC Software Architecture community!
The help and support of Bill Zack (the local AE) and Ashish Jaiman (ISV AE from Washington DC) were essential for the success of this exclusive, and by invitation only, ISV Software Architecture Workshop (SAW) in New York City on December 10th 2009 The event was in direct response to the feedback we received at the CTO Roundtable of our managed partners to facilitate more learning of new and emerging Microsoft technologies, experience exchange, and networking amongst the ISV community.
We had 32 attendees focused around our managed ISVs but included also Microsoft Solution Architect MVPs, and members of the IASA (International Association of Software Architecture). The attendees consisted of mainly Software Architects, some CTOs, Technical Managers, and a few senior developers.
The feedback we received was fantastic!
The Event:
Based on the feedback from the last event we changed the format of the event to first have very short but structured presentations reviewing the Microsoft PDC announcements. The second part of the event (which was about 2/3rd of the time) was very intense and interactive sessions specifically targeted to address problems and opportunities of our managed ISVs. We used the OpenSpace format for that part (http://martinfowler.com/bliki/OpenSpace.html ), with 3 parallel tracks that allowed for discussion of a wide range of relevant topics to the attendees. The format was very well received and the discussions were mostly partner lead.
Session Highlights:
Cloud Computing (3 Sessions moderated by Bill) conclusions:
· Overview of Windows Azure
· Windows Azure deep dive: SQL Azure, AppFabric, and Windows Azure Platform
· Best practices and patterns for cloud computing
Silverlight 4 (Ashish moderated):
· What is new in Silverlight 4
· Opportunities for ISVs and differentiation of WPF and SL
Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 (Gunther and Ashish moderated)
· New features in Visual Studio and .NET.
· Extensibility of Visual Studio for ISVs
· Modeling with Oslo and Visual Studio compared to DSL toolkit
· Impact of MVC 2 and RIA Services
We got outstanding feedback from the attendees such as:
"Thank you for putting this together. I learned a great deal about the possibilities of MS Azure and look forward to the next workshop."
"Awesome event, Gunther! Thanks for inviting me!"
"I want to credit all of you for the valuable experience ... Let me know who to forward my appreciation to."
"Thanks for reviewing the upcoming technologies with us at yesterday's ISV Architecture session.
I think there's some interesting things coming in 2010 and we're looking forward to leveraging many of them."
I believe this is a very impactful event and I am looking forward to organize the next ISV Software Architecture Workshop in 6 months to continue on the great feedback, the value that participants see, and the impact Microsoft can make with such events on technology adoption as well as NSAT.
If you have any question about the event please let me know.
Thanks to Bill and Ashish, without their help the event would not have been possible and certainly would not have been that successful.

Best Nintendo DS, DSi and 3DS Games for Boys (8-12)
Updated June 2012
List Best Nintendo 3DS Games for Boys
I have been compiling list of what I think are best video games for kids for several years from a homeschooling mom's perspective. Keep in mind that I am a big believer in the learning that comes from playing video games.
The latest game console to come out it Nintendo 3DS. The newest Nintendo Platform, Nintendo 3DS plays both DS games and 3DS games however the older and still very popular Nintendo DS does NOT play Nintendo 3DS games.
The Nintendo 3DS can play regular DS games but NOT gameboy games.
list of what I think are the best value and game play for video games and in this case what I think are the best Nintendo 3DS games for boys 8-12.
Hands down a must have game, New Super Mario Bros. 2 Great game play, excellent graphics and violence is an acceptable cartoon-ish level- none of the blood and gore that seems to permeate video games these days. This is a game kids love and wont make you queasy watching them play.
Kingdom Hearts 3D is jam packed with old and new Disney characters and in no one "baby-ish" older boys AND girls will love this Nintendo 3DS game.
Rhythm Thief- I LOVE this 3DS game! Very hard to describe- part Broadway show/glee episode wrapped in mini games and puzzles. I love that music and dance is so heavily integrated into this popular 3DS video game. This is a great 3ds game that BOTH boys and girls love.
Kid Icarus: Uprising had outstanding graphics- i was very impress. Story is puzzle based and has loads of characters from Greek mythology- which I love :-)
Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best Nintendo 3DS games. Mario Kart brings the legacy of Mario Kart fun to 3D. You will not go wrong.
Super Mario 3D Land is classic Mario updated with amazing 3D graphics. Not just a gimmick- the game is very well made.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
is a must have as far as I'm concerned. *I* fell in love with Zelda games when I was in my 20′s playing on a Super Nintendo system.
Zelda continues to entertain ( and frustrate! ) This latest game made for th e Nintendo 3DS system is not just gimmicky but a GREAT game.
Boys tend to prefer this game over girls but as always depends on the child.
I have had enough experience with Nintendo 3DS to make recommendations for games that have good play value for boys in the 8-12 year old range. I use this range because 8 is an age where most boys are able to read.

Best Nintendo DS and 3DS Games for Boys 8,9,10, 11, 12 years old
I have been "polling" the 8-12+ year old boys in all our homeschool groups on their favorite Nintendo DS games and our house is a regular haunt for kids in general. For a video game to be of "good play value" it needs to be well designed well made and not gimmicky- not a video game you play with for an hour than toss aside. The video games I have listed here as the best Nintendo DS games for boys are designed well and have a LONG shelf life. The games are not tired and boring and hodl as much interest a month later as they did in the first day. Games that a wide range of kids can play are also a bonus i.e. e video games that both girls and boys enjoy playing.
As I stated in my Nintendo DS Games for girls post- I am NOT gender biased – based on my observing and asking tons of kids what they like- girls really do like different video games than boys. Boys tend to like competitive games where they have an opponent or race against time or beat a "level" to get to the next one as well as role playing games and girls seem to gravitate towards video games that emphasize creating or nurturing. Not sure what the best Nintendo DS and 3DS games for boys are?
Best Nintendo DS and DSi Games for Boys 8,9,10,11,12 +
Updated October 2012
New Super Mario Bros. is at top of my list with good reason- Fun, family friendly and GREAT play value. Girls will also like but boys LOVE. On of the best and most popular Nintendo DS games ever released.
Mario Kart 7 just released on Dec 4th 2011 and I think this will be THE Nintendo game to get this Christmas. The poplar Mario Kart series continues to deliver excellence with every release. Can't miss.
Yay! Finally another Professor Layton DS game! Professor Layton and the Last Specter is just out. This is part of the excellent Professor Layton series-games based on logic, critial thinking and loaded with brain teasers.
I can't recommemd this series high enough. No violence, requires some reading and LOTS of problem solving and riddles. This is a great DS game for boys and girls and lots of play value. Would not hesitate to buy.
Monster Tale combines the fun of nurturing and "training" your pet monster with action and exploration. An excellent Nintendo DS game for boys.
What are the Best Nintendo DS Games for Boys?
Kirby Mass Attack released last month has become a favourite. Younger boys will love the game and older boys may also enjoy – there is enough game play to satisfy experienced gamer.
Super Scribblenauts is a puzzle based game. This is the newer and improved version of the crazy popular Scribblenauts. If you don' have this game- get it- a must have.
Good Puzzle Games for Nintendo DS
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
is just out and AMAZING. It an adventure game with lots of levels and puzzles to keep you busy. This is suitable for both boys and girls.
Fossil Fighters
How cool is this? Hammer away at old dinosaur bones with the Nintendo DS stylus. A GREAT, well designed and well thought out game with excellent play value. Can't miss and well priced. This has become a classic and consistently highly rated video game
Some more top Picks- Best Nintendo DSi and DS Games for Boys
Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story is the most recent " Mario Bros" release and an excellent game with plenty of play value. It was released in September 2009 and one of the best Nintendo DS games of the years. I think this is a must have for video game collection. Exceptionally well done and hugely hot with homschool boys in our circle.
Picross 3Dis a 3-d puzzle and logic based game that is WAY more fun that it sounds. Its based on the older pic cross game ( that was actually not that great- so dont get them confused!) . I actually enjoy playing this game myself and has alot of play value. Good game for both girls and boys.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
Another great game in the Lego series. Sure fire hit. Well designed and excellent game. My son who is 6 loves the game but requires reading and he needed bit of help at times.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Is a DS update on classic game. A role playing adventure game using Disney elements and characters. Perfect for 6-10 year olds and "younger" 12+ years olds who wouldn't mind the Disney factor- this is not a "cute-sy" game in any way! A good fame for both girls and boys.
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box Second part of the Professor Layton trilogy ( third not yet released) . I am HUGE fan of these. Probably my favourite video games for girl OR boy. These are critical thinking "puzzle" games reminiscent of the Mensa style brain teasers Omni magazine used to have to challenge lesser mortal's Get this game- you will find yourself sneaking around trying to solve the puzzles yourself :-)
is hot game this Christmas. Another another puzzle solving game with bit of action and quite a bit of creative input from the player.
Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling AdventureThis is my new FAVOURITE game. I was a huge fan of Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Henry Hatsworth ranks right up there for me- and my kids. I think that this especially appeals to boys because their is more "action" along with puzzles.
Let's Draw! I have this one both "Best Nintendo DS and DSi Games for Girls ( 8-12 years old) " and this one, "Best Nintendo DS games for Boys" lists.
New This month is Puzzle Quest Galactrix spin on the amazing role playing game mixed with puzzles, original Puzzle Quest
Big Bang Mini is is BEYOND cool! You create your own fireworks and then defend yourself against pirate snowmen (!) , fish skeletons and more. The graphics are excellent and even the soundtrack is good. The game is easy to learn and excellent gameplay. Any one I have let try LOVES it. Give it a whirl.
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Kids have fun taming monsters in this addictive . Tons of mini-games and play value- they do not get tired of it quickly.
One of the hot games for DS right now is Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time. A great game for all ages.
Long anticipated, Final Fantasy IV was released in August. This game is fabulous and gets rave reviews from homeschooling kids in or group and the neighborhood kids. Final Fantasy is a sure fire hit.
An easy to play action strategy game ( action with puzzle games) Lock's Quest. I like any kind of quest mixed with strategy game and this has excellent play value. Probably one of the best DS games released this year.
If want to get a game you KNOW they will love, try Guitar Hero: On Tour it is popular Guitar Hero made for handheld. We have it and both boys and girls love it. It can also be played "against: other kids with the game and it has far more play value that I thought it would- I was pleasantly surprised.
Th etaest release and second in the series is Guitar Hero on Tour Decades Bundle.
Love this game- I used to play it as a board game in highschool . It is now available on DS, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. This would be good for older kids and even teens and adults. I have played it and adore it. It used quite a bit of strategy. Think of it as RISK on steroids.
I rarely say this- but this game really is a MUST have, Professor Layton and the Curious Village is original and fun. The game is a series of puzzles and brain teaser than is great for both boys and girls- moms too :-) Can't recommend enough.
Inexplicably, Trauma Center 2 DS is a very popular game. You work in the trauma center of a hospital and lead a team of doctors to try and save your patients. Who would have thought? Both boys and girls love it.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is still going string. If your son likes any kind of role playing video games- he will be thrilled with this.
One of my favourite new games this year, manage resources, care for critters, and combat destructive forces that threaten the ecology of Mana Forest- Eco Creatures: Save The Forest
The World Ends With You is an anime-inspired game set in modern day Tokyo, from the team that made Kingdom Hearts.
Mario Kart Very cool- can "race' others from around the world with wireless feature.
Very Popular are the new Pokemon's- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness
Mario Party DS Another new release. This is good for both boys and girls and if you have more than two kids in your family with a DS- excellent choice.
Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge This came out this week and we rented it. Not what I thought it would be- ton of puzzle games set in Ancient Egypt. Great for kids who like Brain Academy, etc. Another good for both boys and girls if kids share games.
Yoshi's Island DS Considered one of the best games for Nintendo DS. If you are just getting a DS or don't have- highly recommend.
New Super Mario Bros. Classic Mario Brothers stuff. One of the best games made and very popular. It has been out for a while. Both boys and girls like this one.
Metroid Prime Hunters Very high cool factor – you can play with multiple players with wireless function.
Pokemon Diamond Probably the most popular game ever made for Nintendo DS- along with Pokemon Pearl version ( below)
Pokemon Pearl See above. If getting a new DS and need to get one or two games- make sure you include either this or the Pokeman Diamond version (above)
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol for Nintendo DS This is HIGHLY addictive!

The Seattle Fire Code does not regulate the installation of wood stoves. However, there are State and City agencies that have regulations pertaining to the installation and operation of wood stoves. In general, an old cast iron stove would not be approved for installation in this state.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency states:
"Since 1992, only wood stoves or fireplace inserts that are EPA-certified can be sold and installed in Washington state. It must have an EPA label plate attached showing that it meets Washington particulate emission standards:
4.5 grams of particulates per hour for non-catalytic devices
2.5 grams per hour for catalytic devices.
Certified stoves and inserts reduce emissions by about 50 percent versus older, uncertified stoves (see "Cost to heat a typical home" table). Certified devices have combustion technology that essentially burns much of the smoke away instead of releasing it into the air."
For more information, visit http://www.pscleanair.org
Also, the City of Seattle Department of Planning and Development (DPD) requires a permit to install wood stoves. For more information specific to wood stove installation and installation requirements, contact:

HOUSTON – The Houston Dynamo needed every bit of a Brian Ching hat trick to edge past the Chicago Fire, 4-3, on Saturday night at Robertson Stadium.
Ching's thee goals iced a classic tilt in which the Fire had battled back from a two-goal deficit to tie the game at 3-3.
However, Ching—who earlier had tallied a spectacular overhead bicycle kick to give the Dynamo a two-goal cushion—headed home the winner with five minutes remaining, earning his embattled side their first victory against an MLS opponent since May 22.
Houston got on the board first in the 31st minute, but they may have received a slight break from referee Kevin Stott.
Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson had jumped to pluck a corner kick out of the air just as Ching was underneath him. Johnson also collided with teammate C.J. Brown, and Stott did not whistle a foul as the 'keeper slammed into the grass. The ball squirted free, leaving Ching with an empty net in front of him. The forward did not waste his opportunity to put the hosts ahead.
Houston extended their lead in the 50th minute after a well-worked free-kick.
Placed just outside the box, Richard Mulrooney lined up over the ball before laying off a short pass to Palmer, whose first-time effort snuck past Johnson.
Calen Carr responded for the Fire in the 55th minute after Freddie Ljungberg found the second-half substitute streaking into the box. Carr collected the pass, and his quick shot seemed to catch 'keeper Pat Onstad flat footed. The Fire were back within one.
However, just four minutes later Ching got his second goal in impressive fashion after yet another Dynamo corner kick found Bobby Boswellat the far post. The defender's shot caromed off the post and ricocheted back into play, leaving Ching to hit a stunning overhead bicycle kick that padded Houston's lead to two.
However, there was no quit in the Fire as they pulled another goal back—this time through the hard work of Patrick Nyarko, who pressured Boswell as he faced his own goalkeeper. The ball took enough of a deflection of Boswell's leg to slip past Onstad and into the net, again pulling the Fire within one.
And in the 81st minute, the Fire pulled level off a corner kick. Ljungberg got his second assist on the night, delivering a perfect corner to the head of center back Woilman Conde, who finished easily to knot the game at 3-3.
However, Brian Ching was not to be denied as he scored his third goal of the night in the 85th minute—and once again, it came from the set-piece for Houston. Richard Mulrooney got his second assist on the night when his corner kick found Ching, whose header beat Johnson at his far post.

PARIS, Dec 11 (Reuters) - European shares fell in early trading on Thursday, losing ground for the fourth session in a row, as the slump in oil and iron ore prices knocked resource-related shares lower and fuelled worries over the pace of global growth.
At 0805 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 0.1 percent at 1,355.87 points. The index has lost 3.5 percent so far this week.
Oil services stocks featured among the biggest losers, with Seadrill down 2.7 percent and PGS down 1.3 percent. (Reporting by Blaise Robinson; Editing by Alistair Smout)

As I posted when I first played the game, (in the game comments thread) I don't think many people fully comprehend the peculiarly entertaining brand of cavalier and chivalric humour one can find in this game. It certainly made my experience with it quite amusing.
Ultimately like most open world games (save New Vegas!) it is quite hollow story wise yet I found the exploration oddly satisfying. The card based magic system was also unique and reasonably interesting to experiment with.
This thread reminds me that I've yet to pick up the expansion to the second game…should be getting quite cheap by now.

Joy of voting early could boost turnout, study shows
By H. Roger Segelken |
For those who dread Election Day in America – long lines at the polls, lousy weather, finding time to vote among other Tuesday commitments – but eagerly anticipate the outcome of a closely contested race, voting early is potentially like a prepaid vacation: all the rewards and none of the costs.
This according to a Cornell-Louisiana State University team of political scientists with an enterprising way to increase turnout at the polls: promote the joy of voting early.
"We tried to design a nonpartisan, get-out-the-vote campaign to emphasize the 'anticipatory rewards' of voting early – ample time to enjoy the excitement of the election process – without the 'anticipatory costs' – the dread of Election Day inconveniences," says Adam Seth Levine, assistant professor of government in Cornell's College of Arts and Sciences.
"Show your commitment ..."
Some registered voters in Georgia and Ohio received mailings with what researchers termed their "net anticipatory reward" message: "By voting early and not waiting until Election Day, you show your commitment to voting. Because you've already done your part, you don't have to worry about how you'll make it to the polls on a busy Tuesday. You simply get to look forward to Election Day and hearing about the results."
October 2012 mailings (see sidebar for example) to registered voters in the four largest counties in Ohio and in Georgia, in advance of the 2012 presidential election, increased early voting in both states. And in the battleground state of Ohio, their get-out-the-vote effort slightly increased the overall voter turnout, Levine and his co-author, Christopher B. Mann, reported at a Yale University conference in February, just as candidates and party organizations were gearing up for the 2014 midterm elections.
Levine and Mann were testing a new theory of voter motivation by capitalizing on the "anticipatory rewards" effect that often induces people to pay in advance for vacations. "Of course, part of the joy of a vacation is the time actually being on vacation," Levine notes. "But another part is the excitement as you look forward to the vacation. These are rewards that accumulate in the days and weeks leading up to departure day."
The political scientists were motivated by field experiments that tried to recreate the "local fair" character of 19th-century polling places, when voter turnout was much higher than the dismal participation levels of late-20th and early-21st century America. Publicity for the modern "festival at the polling place" created anticipation for the event, and they wondered: Could we do the same for early voting, by using direct mail to promote anticipatory rewards? (They decided not to emphasize "anticipatory costs" because that might discourage voters who already knew about all that.)
Of the 32 states with early in-person voting (EIPV), Georgia and Ohio were chosen for the experiment because they represented two different kinds of states: a "safe" and a "battleground" state. Mailings to promote EIPV, although written by the political scientists, were sent out by a nonpartisan organization with a history of promoting voter participation. Because the mailing lists were drawn from county board of election records, the political scientists were able to determine who signed in to vote and when – early, on Election Day or never – but not how they voted.
In Georgia and Ohio, slightly more people (about 1.9 percent at most) decided to vote early, after receiving get-out-the-vote mailings. In Ohio – but not in Georgia – variously worded mailings increased turnout by as much as 1.7 percent.
"The fact that turnout was only affected in Ohio was not surprising at all," Levine commented. "We expected anticipatory rewards to be higher among voters in a battleground state like Ohio than in a safe state like Georgia."
"It's worth underscoring," Levine and Mann reported at the Yale conference, "that what we're talking about here is a single piece of direct mail informing people about the possibility of enjoying enhanced anticipatory rewards from voting early. This was able to noticeably increase turnout in a crowded communication environment like Ohio during the 2012 general presidential election."
The researchers received no monetary support from the 501c3 partner organization that sent out mailings, or from any other funding source.

Written on: 04/06/2013 by Nire (1 review written)
I had the worst experience with Dr. Rolf at this clinic. He has absolutely no bedside manner and is highly condescending. I booked a 9 am appointment so as to go directly to Abu Dhabi for work after. After finally being seen at 9:40am I was told that's issues weren't a priority and that I would have to wait for him to see all the other patients in the waiting room before doing the treatment I'd booked for. He refused to give me an approximate deadline and was absolutely unappologetic when I reminded him that I needed to go to work and that this is what I'd booked for. This was my third visit to the clinic and the final straw. In my other appointments he'd also been unfriendly, dismissive and condescending however for lack of knowing where else to go (the clinic is linked with my GPs clinic) I went back. I am now going to put some effort into finding a good dermatologist. In a word, he's a jerk.
Written on: 01/10/2013
I had more than worst experince with this clinics. The Doctors there are just to make money with no care attitude to the patient. The Doctors will just enroll you and after enrolling and taking huge amount from you they will leave you to the nurses. Dr. Sidra never came back and checked what the nurses are doing to my skin. I had a very bad experince with this clinic. After complaning to the manager of the clinic (which he too didn't bothered to call and apologize even) informed me over the phone that come and take another package. They are the worst Doctors and clinics here. I STRONGLY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC. Guy's please stop if you are dealing with them, we had the worst experince. As said by Nire YES they are all JERK.

Economists Travel to Italy to Investigate Farmer-Owned Brands
prices for products with the characteristics that they desire, niche markets often result. However, the very success of that niche market often leads to imitation, expanding the supply and ultimately reducing producers' profitability. ISU economists Dermot Hayes and Sergio Lence recently traveled to Italy to study that country's model for farmer-owned brands. The key factor in the success of these brands is that they allow producers not only to differentiate their products but also to legally control supply. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, including restricting the growing region based on its exceptional attributes, limiting membership in a producer group, imposing strict production or quality standards, or restricting access to a product ingredient or process. In Italy, the researchers found several exciting examples of farmer-owned brands, such as Brunello di Montalcino, a wine produced by an association that limits the quantity of grapes and the production area. Another success story is Parma Ham, owned by a group of ham processors who maintain control over the curing location and methods, a process that purportedly gives this product its unique flavor. Lence and Hayes describe how this model might work in the U.S. Midwest in a paper titled "Farmer-Owned Brands?." Contact Hayes, (515) 294-6185, or Sandy Clarke, CARD Communications, (515) 294-6257.

TEHRAN - Iran and Britain officially resumed diplomatic relations on Thursday, severed by London after students stormed its Tehran embassy in 2011, a senior Iranian official said.
- Follow Ynetnews on Facebook STRONG>
and Twitter
"From today relations between Iran and Britain are resumed at the non-resident charges d'affaires level," Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told ISNA, adding that the countries' flags were raised atop their embassies in Tehran and London.
The British Foreign Office confirmed the news.

Britain had ordered the closure of Iran's embassy in London after shuttering its own in Tehran when hundreds of Islamist students stormed the compound in November 2011.
The students – protesting against Western sanctions over Tehran's disputed nuclear program – ransacked the building as well as the ambassador's residence in north Tehran.
Since then, the Swedish embassy in Tehran has represented Britain's interests there, while the Omani embassy in London has done the same for Iran.
"By ending the job of countries' interest sections, the charges d'affaires are now responsible for the bilateral relations," said Takht-Ravanchi.
In November, the two countries had already named non-resident charges d'affaires, and Britain's new envoy, Ajay Sharma, visited Iran in December.
There has been a thaw in ties between the Islamic republic and the international community since the June election of President Hassan Rouhani, a reputed moderate who has reached out to the West and steered his country into a landmark nuclear deal with major powers.

"Recently, I have gone back to keeping my original line work, rather than recreating the work in Illustrator, as I feel it has a bit more life and personality. I usually apply colours in Photoshop and then bring things back to the real world by screen printing as much as possible.
"I've also recently started experimenting with laser cutting onto found pieces of wood and I've been pretty pleased with the results. As for a secret, I'd say late nights, cider and Monster Munch is the ideal cocktail for creativity."
Bristol doodler and Dirty Old Town artist, iainsellar.com
Alan Silvester, Dirtyface
"All my artwork is created by hand initially, starting with pencil then inking it up to form clear, bold line art. I then scan the work into Illustrator and using the Pen tool trace the work line by line, expanding out the lines to paths when the entire piece has been traced. There are two key tools I can't work without, the Pen tool as it's so controllable and allows me to replicate any line I want from an image. The second key tool is the Pathfinder, which I use to manipulate vectors in almost any way possible; it's a great time saver."

"My 3D work is made out of laser cut MDF, and to create it I first draw all the pieces in pencil, trace it with a fine liner, scan it, and open it in Photoshop. There I use the Magic Wand to place a two pixel stroke around the image. The stroke is placed in a new layer and the old one containing the drawing is deleted. To laser cut something the image needs to be a vector, so after that I open my image in Illustrator and Live Trace it. I use the Hand Drawn Sketch setting as I find that makes the lines nice and smooth."
London-based artist and illustrator, karinsoderquist.com
Jennie Webber
"When I start new work, I have to shut every book, hide all pictures and close every tab [on my browser]. Though I'm inspired by other artists, I find that clearing both my head and my desk of any visual stimuli when I put pen to paper makes for a much more considered image. Decisions are easier when you are focused on what's in front of you.
"Also, clean your screen. I've wasted far too much time trying to clean actual dirt with Photoshop's Eraser."

" Type: Fruit Tea "
like drinking fruit and herbal teas as a refreshing and caffeine free alternative to normal tea and coffee. However different brands seem to differ in quality and taste. I tend to buy London Fruit and Herb Company ones as they often seem to have the best flavour and actually taste of the fruit or herb they are actually supposed to contain. As a change I decided to try Twinings exotic selection of fruit infusions. Each box of Twinings Exotic Fruit infusions contains twenty individually wrapped tea bags which come in four flavours. These are pink grapefruit, mandarin and lime, pear and guava, orange mango and cinnamon and mandarin and lychee. They are available in most good supermarkets, health food shops and even chemists such as Boots and Superdrug and cost around about £1.29 I am not going to bore you with minute details of packaging. I would like to mention the sachets are colour coded with a picture of a fruit for ease of identification. I like selection boxes with little individual sachets as they are great for shoving in your handbag to take to work rather than taking the whole box. Serving instructions Again I am not going to patronise you. One thing to remember is to let them brew longer than a normal tea bag say about five minutes to get the full flavour of the teabag. You can add sugar, sweeteners or honey if you have a sweet tooth but never put milk in then. They might taste rather minging otherwise. These flavours being tropical would be ideal for making an iced tea by cooling it after brewing it. When brewed up all of the flavours turn a pretty pinky red colour which is far prettier than normal teas. Ingredients Before tasting them I took a look at the ingredients. You would expect the contents of the bags to contain a high proportion of the fruit that their flavour is. Wrong. In each of the flavours the main ingredient is hibiscus and can contain as little as two
per cent of the actual fruit. They are padded out with flavourings, hibiscus, apple pieces and liquorice root, The bags The bags are quite robust as long as you do not squeeze them too much. Woe betide you if you do as you will have a load of fruity gunk at the bottom of your tea which is not appealing at all. My verdict on the flavours Pear and guava . On adding the boiling water the liquid smells more of pear than guava but perhaps that is because I am not sure what guava smells like. The taste again is more of pear. It reminds me of hot juice from a tin of pears but only weaker. It is drinkable but not that flavoursome Pink grapefruit, Mandarin and Lime. I like citrus flavours so I felt this one would be up my street. The smell is very fruity but I am not sure I can smell individual flavours. When drinking it I feel the same. It is very very sharp but there seems to be no body to it at all. This is a disappointment Orange, Mango and Cinnamon This sounds like a real treat to me. This is the tea with the highest percentage of the named fruit and spices. On first smell I can smell the sweetness of the mango. I take a sip. I can certainly taste the mango as it is makes it a very smooth drink. The orange is the main flavour but is not as nice as the orange tea bags from the London and Herb Company. There is only a hint of cinnamon which I am very disappointed with as I wanted more of a spicy drink. It tastes nice if not a bit mediocre. However this is the nicest one from the selection Mandarin and lychee Again I am not sure why the lychee contributes this tea. The mandarin is nice and sharp but again lacks the full flavour I want from these teas All in all I could not recommend these at all. They are drinkable and good for those on a detox diet as they contain no caffeine. However they lack sparkle or oomph doe to their flavouring
s bei ng a bit mediocre. I will be sticking to my much fuller flavoured London Fruit and herb Company fruit tea bags from now on
Mixture of tea bags including Pear & Guava. Pink Grapefruit, Mandarin & Lime. Mandarin & Lychee. Orange, Mango & Cinnamon. Naturally Caffeine Free.

Hey everyone, Troisnyx here. Or formally, Annette 'Troisnyx' Singh, LLB (Hons). We can skip the formalities after this, okay.... I want to be the Troisnyx everyone has known and has become familiar with.
I finished my law degree in May and the graduation ceremony was only two days ago (22 November). I know that I'm far from a lot of you, but come celebrate with me!
And you already have a picture of me in academic dress on the left. The full series of pictures from graduation day can be found here.
It was a pretty bittersweet day, what with my only witness being Merlyne (none of my family could make it), but I'm glad nonetheless that I went.

DENVER (CBS4) – Coloradans are among the hundreds or possibly thousands of people who have been contacted by scammers who are phishing for bank account information.
The scam involves automated phone calls or text messages that pretend to be from Wells Fargo and the scam artists try to trick customers into handing over their bank account information. Dozens of CBS4 viewers have contacted Consumer Investigator Jodi Brooks about the scam.
Officials with both the FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation say they are actively collecting information about the scam.
"This is a concern and this is something we're very interested in getting more information on," said FBI spokesman Dave Joly.
So far Joly says an investigation is not under way yet. The FBI first wants to learn more from victims.
"The FBI will look at a financial threshold — we usually look for multiple victims and large sums of money before we'll get involved," Joly said.
Joly said they are interested in learning about the specifics of when and how people were contacted.
"Even in a text message your cellular provider is going to have some information that we can get with a subpoena if you allow us to use you as a victim and we can obtain that information and use that to track these individuals down," Joly said.
In the meantime, beware: someone is fishing for your bank information.
Every fraud investigator Brooks talked to in relation to this story had a similar bit of advice: If you are victim of identity theft, file a police report — even if nothing is stolen.
"A police report is the only evidence you have that you were a victim if something happens down the road with a creditor," Brooks said.
Additional Resources
Anyone who thinks they have become a victim should contact Wells Fargo immediately. The FBI also wants to hear from Wells Fargo Bank customers who have been targeted. They may ask you to fill out a report online.

Ian Jansma - kayak master
The spirit of exploration and adventure came early to Ian during his childhood in rural Vermont. After earning a Philosophy degree from Bard College in upstate New York, he moved to Kodiak Island, Alaska. There, amidst unspoiled wilderness and surrounded by legendary seas, Ian found his calling as an outdoor adventure guide, naturalist, and seafarer.
Still eschewing the conventional path and embracing an itinerant lifestyle, Ian's career in the fields of sea kayak guiding, expedition cruising, and conservation research has taken him to some of the world's wildest and most remote locations. Whether upon the waves of the tropical South Pacific or under the aurora-filled skies of Greenland, Ian feels at home wherever Nature is still in control.
In between guiding seasons and research expeditions Ian can be found traveling the world in search of adventure and perspective. Wherever he goes, Ian finds joy in sharing his knowledge and experience with fellow travelers and nature lovers.

Not long sinco the Rump correspondent
of this paper, objected, witli much circum

our declaration that the soldiers nnd the
gallant Generals who led them to victory,
were leaving the so-called' Unloiii party;

does not. believe us, let litm notice the

We call bis attention, most respectfully
but at the same time most earnestly, to the
call for a soldiers' and sailors' convention,
lately Issued. Let him notice tho names of
the signers. Let him run his eye over the
roll of distinguished and gallant men, and
then let him say, If he dares, that the men
who are now leaving the Radicals, are dis
appointed politicians, "copperheads," "de

him show his colors now, If ho will, by.

For the Vinton Record.
II. C. J, editor of the Radical Rump Re
publican, bocomes incoherently funny, lu a
'few words,' over our report of the sayings
and doings of the R. It. R. Convention.
We say he becomes funny In a 'few words,'
yet tho paucity of'his Ideas is even more
marked thaivtho brevity W his language
We arc not surprised that lio gentleman
should try to dispose of our report in as
'few words' as. possible : 'Fact are stub-
1 born things,' and when they nrc against us
rtbc less we handle them the better.
II. C. J. does not attempt -to deny the
correctness of our report, except In two
particulars,.and in tho.se, only inferential
iy. In thu first, lie' admits nil that we as
serted, arid we will prove It by himself, (If
a discriminating public, can determine
which time lie tells the truth, for he speaks
on both sides.) Ho Bays : "But the wordy
cus-tomcr (observe the pun !) Is' not satis
fled with making pn ass ot himself on gen
oral principles, he must become very spe
cific, and .thinking that the truth wouldn't
servc his purpose, ho strains a point. lie
says Mr. Jones proceeded to make nomina
tions outside of tho names announced in
the papers." Wc did say so, and repeat It
now. Let us take Jones for it again. He
says: "The truth Is, of the two candidates
for Auditor, neither was announced in the
paper." . Will II- C.J. deny that the name
of Mr. Felton, the successful candidate for
Auditor, was placed before the convention
by II. C. Jones, or that It was the first namo
announced for office In that convention ?
You dare not do it, Homer ! Then, it it
true that II. C.J. did proceed to make nomi
nations outside of the names announced in
the paper. Will tho gentleman tell us why
the truth would not serve our purpose, and
when tho 'strain'' comes on this 'point ?'
H. C. J. attempts another point on tho
question of delegates. He says we were
'exorcised1 about the R. R. R. Convention
allowing persons not delegates to partici
pate, Ac. Now, out of charity, nnd in or
der to make II. C. J.'s piece intelligible, we
conclude that the compositor made a mis
take, and set up ji word not in the manu
script; for, certainly, wq. sever charged
that there were evil spirits present nt the
R. R. R. Convention, (no matter what we
thought!) nor did wceven pretend to pos
sess" the power to expel such,' If they were
present. So wo say, that. In order to make
sense, we conclude that II. C. J., meant to
say, we were 'exercised,'' Ac.' But this wo
deny. 'It was none ot our luncral,' and
we had no right to do the weeping, neither
were we dlspdscd to wb the' R. R. R.'s of
this their exclusive privilege, but wcro
rather Inclined to say of the candidates:
'Dead Duck,' requi escat in pace!
But II. C. J. says, on the subject of dele
gates, "Your Bntternut Convention tried
the same generous move, and it was voted
down. You were afraid to let In outsiders
who were not manipulated and set for your
Clique." This is not a point strained, nor
truth perverted, but absolutely false. In
tho Democratic Convention, or Butternut,
as the gentleman sees proper to call It, ev
ery township was represented by delegates
present, and there was no such move made
as II. C. J. mentions ; so, of course, It Cuiild
not be voted down. The facts were these
In almost every township the primary
meetings had resolved, that, in the event of
any of their delegates falling to attend the
Convention, those who did attend, should
cast the lull vote of the township.
The motion which II. C. J. pretends to
think. was voted down, was one made by
Mr. Gunnlng.'to the effect 'that tho dele
gates present from each township should
cast the full vote of tlKir respective town
ships' which had failed to make this -pro-"
vision at their priinarj' meetings, on an
equal footing with those which had. This
motion prevailed, and had tlie'inover wait
ed for the report of tho, committee on cre
dentials, he would have discovered there
was no necessity for his motion, for the
reason that the townships were nil repre
sented by full delegations.
II. C. J. charcres the members of the Dem
ocratic Convention with being 'deserters,'
'bounty-jumpcrs,, and 'draft skcdaddlers.'
As the charge is made, It applies to each
member of the convention ; nnd,- as taken
iii this wholesale way, we personally know
it la false, and to does II. C. J. If it is in
tended as a charge against any ono mem
ber, we call upon H. C. J. to name the par
ty charged, that he may be let in to defend.
We do not proposo to volunteer a defense
until there is some one to defend.' Name
the man, but be sure your proof sustains
tho charge. But, by way of a text for yqur
next discourse, we will say, it is our opin
ion that even draft-skedaddlers may bebet
tcr patriots than 'shoddy contractors'

For President Senator Doolit

General Dix, at the conclusion of
the reading or the above report,
introduced Senator Dooiittle, who
was received with the most enthu
siastic applause. Mr. Dooiittle, on
taking the chair, said: ' ,l '
Gentlemen of the Convention,
and fellow-citizens, of the . United

of this Convention, I sincerely
thank you. ,1 could have wished
that its responsibilities had fallen
upon another; but relying upon
that courtesy and generous s confl
denco which has called me to the
chair, I enter at once upon its du
ties with a desire for the success of
that great cause in which we are
now engaged. Among the great
events of our own day this Conven
tion, in my opinion, will prove to
be one of the greatest, for peace
hath her victories, not less re
nowned than war. Applause.
And this Convention is one of her
victories mty I not say a crown
ing victory? Cheers. ' 1
For the first .time in six years a
National Convention, representing
all the States, is now assembled.

If they could have 6een, as we
saw, Massachusetts and South Car
olina, applaTfse by their full del
egations,' coming arm and arm into
this great Convention enthusias
tic applause ; if they could have
seen this body, greater in numbers
and in weight of character atid
brain than fiver has assembled on
this continent under one roof, mel
ting to tears of joy and gratitude
to witness this commingling, there
would be no struggle at the polls
in the coming elections. Ap
plause.j When I remeYnber that it
was Massachusetts and South Car
olina that, in the Convention which
framed the Constitution, voted
against the abolition of the slave
trade; that it was Massachusetts,
in 1812, which, through some of
her men, taught the. doctrines of
nullification which South Carolina
reasserted in 1833, and in the form
of secession again reasserting . in
1860; when I call to ' mind that
South Carolina fired the first gun
in this contest, and that the veins
of Massachusetts poured out the
first blood in the struggle, and
when I call to mind all thesa
memories, and at the same time
ask the people of this country to
look in on this Convention and see
those two old States of the Union
coming here in fraternal embrace,
approaching the common altar of
a common country, ready to make
common sacrifice for the good of
the whole, I Bay again, could the
whole people of the United States
witness all this, there would re
main no further work for us to per
form. Loud cheers. .
If the people of Massachusetts
herself could have witnessed it, not
a single toember would-be returned
to Congress from that State great
applause until he had given a
most sacred pledge that he would
do all in his power to recognize the
equality and dignity ' of all the
States Tinder . the Constitution
cheers including the sacred and
inalienable right of every State
under the Constitution to repre
sentation in both houses of Con
gress. Cheers. '
Gentlemen of the Convention, I
shall go into no argument on this
occasion. Cries of "Go onl"
The distinguished gentleman who
preceded' me (General Dix,) has
said all that I would desire to say
much better thaa I could say it
I indorse, and take great pleasure
in. indorsing, all that he has said,
sentenco by sentence-, word, by
word. Cheers. ....
j' Fellow-citizens: , Unfortunately
it may be that the wholo people of
the United States are not hero to
witness what is now transpiring-,
therefore the greater work, still
rests upon us. From this time until
next election we should be untiring
in our exertions to see to it that
the next Congress, if this shall
continue to refuse this 6acred right
of. representation to equal States,
that the next Congress shall recog
nize that right. Applause.
When that is done tho Union is re
stored, cheers, and when tho Un
ion is restored wo sllall bo pre
pared, in my judgment, to enter
upon a higher ana nobler career
among tho nations of the earth,
than has ever yet been occupied by
any Government upon which the
sun of heaven has ever shone; loud
cheers; wb ehall stand in the van
guard of liberty and civilization;
we shall lead the way by tho light
of our example for all the .other
nations of the earth. (Great
plause.) :
Gentlemen: Without detaining
you any "longer, I shall enter at
once upon the duties of the Chair.
. The Vice-president and Secreta
ries of the Convention were then
invited to take their seats upon the
platform.' While they were doing
so the band played several airs.
. General Steedman, Chairman of
the.: . Committee on : Credentials,
made a report, stating that there
were no seats contested, except
lrom ine btateB ot Maine, Delaware
and New York, and that of those
cases the committee had made the
following descnpticn:

ing held at Portland, and headed
by Governor Crosby, are entitled

The delegates elected at a meet
ing at Dover on the 2Cth of July
1866, are entitled to admission as
delegates from Delaware, and the
persons chosen at Washington on
the 2nd of August are to be admit
ted to honorary seats in the Con
vention. . Gentlemen attending
from the United Service Society of
Soldiers and Sailors, of New York,
and those elected by the New York
delegation, represented by Mr.
Samuel J. Tilden as Chairman, are
to be admitted to seats as honorary
members. In consequence of the
time that would be occupied read
ing the full list , of delegates, its
reading was dispensed With, and,
under the previous question, the
report of the committee was agreed
Much amusement was caused by
the Chairman inadvertantly speak
ing of General Steedman as the
Senator from Ohio, and tho slip of
the tongue was characterized by
soma gentleman as prophetic.
Mr. Groesbeck, of Ohio, . as the
organ of tho united delegation from
that State, presented a letter of
withdrawal from Mr. Vallandigham
and asked that it. be read-to the
The Chairman intimated that
that would require unanimous con
sent, and asked whether there was
any objection. '
A delegate from New York rose
and objected.
(Loud cries of "Iiead it, read it")
Senator Johnson, of Maryland,
moved that the rules be suspended
in order to allow the letter to be
ead. The rule3 were susnended
and the letter was read by the Soc-
etary as follows:

SOLICITOR Andy McDonald has emerged as the man who could be Middlesbrough's next Labour MP.
The former Middlesbrough councillor was chosen as Labour's candidate for the vacant seat.
Mr McDonald said he felt "overwhelmed and humbled" after being picked from a shortlist of five candidates hoping to become the town's next MP.
They were all bidding to replace the late Sir Stuart Bell who died last month following a short battle against pancreatic cancer. The 74-year-old was only told he had the disease 12 days before it took his life.
An initial shortlist of six candidates had been announced by the Labour Party but one withdrew.
Mr McDonald had already come close to securing a Labour candidacy after battling for the Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland seat in 2010, before losing out to Tom Blenkinsop.
After emerging victorious yesterday, Mr McDonald said it was "the chance of a lifetime".
Just minutes after the announcement, he told the Gazette: "I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support I have received. It has been absolutely magnificent. I am a Boro lad and this is one of the proudest moments of my life."
His fellow hopefuls included Joe Docherty, former chief executive of Tees Valley Regeneration.
The other candidates were Amina Ali, Emma France and Ed Malcolm.
There had been a sixth candidate, Rotherham councillor Mahroof Hussain. But Mr Hussain is understood to have withdrawn to concentrate his efforts on the now vacant Rotherham seat.
That vacancy arose following the resignation of Denis McShane following the latest expenses scandal.
Yesterday morning Labour Party faithful queued outside Teesside University's Europa Building for the hustings.
The five candidates were each allowed to speak for five minutes and then answer questions. At the end of the selection process, party members voted for their top choices.
After all the votes were counted Mr McDonald, billed as "the local choice", emerged as the winner.
He described it as "one of the proudest moments of my life".
He said: "It is an exhilirating challenge and I am ready for it. As a local lad it is the chance of a lifetime."
He said the work would begin straight away, saying: "I can't wait for the campaign to start."
Asked what he he had to offer the people of Middlesbrough, he said: "I have got to be a voice for them so it is understood in Westminster just how these draconian Tory policies impact on ordinary peoples' lives."
He said this economy needed to be regenerated and he would "leave no stone unturned" in his efforts to achieve this.
"I will give it my all. We start the campaign with immediate effect."
Gresham ward councillor Tracy Harvey said she thought he would make "a great MP".
"Certainly the people in my ward have been very supportive of Andy.
"That is what people are wanting now - local people to be the MP in their town."
Councillor Bob Kerr reckoned Mr McDonald would be "a campaigning MP", adding it was "a good day for the town".
One of the hopefuls, Amina Ali, was gracious in defeat. She said Mr McDonald would make "a fantastic MP" for Middlesbrough
