New York State residents may have to dig deeper into their wallets to pay for heating oil this winter.
New State environmental regulations require heating oil users in the Empire State to use the same diesel fuel used by trucks to fill their furnaces.
However, many East Coast refinery closures have led to a sharp decline in supply of such fuel. The average cost of heating oil in New York is already eight percent higher than it was one year ago, and economists say a sharp cold spell in the winter months could send the price of heating oil up to $5 a gallon.
The average New York homeowner could see a $400 heating oil bill increase this winter if a string of cold weather hits the region.

FILED: December 01, 2010
In the Matter of J. G.,
a Child.
Multnomah County Circuit Court
Petition Number 104073M
Child J. G. appeals an order arising from a review hearing concerning him and his four siblings.Ā J. G. is the only one of the children who is placed in mother's care; his siblings are in substitute care.Ā J. G. argues that the juvenile court erred by ordering that his siblings remain in substitute care, contrary to J. G.'s motion for his siblings to be returned to mother's care.Ā Because the determination of which J. G. complains has been superseded by a subsequent permanency judgment, we dismiss this appeal as moot.(1)
J. G.'s appeal concerns an order entered after a review hearing held pursuant to ORS 419B.449.Ā In that order, the juvenile court also scheduled a permanency hearing for May 19, 2010.Ā We take judicial notice of the case register in this case, which reflects that a permanency hearing was scheduled for May 19, 2010, and continued to September 21, and that a permanency judgment was entered on September 22.
At a permanency hearing, the juvenile court is required to "[m]ake the findings of fact under ORS 419B.449(2)."Ā ORS 419B.476(2)(d).Ā Those are the same findings of fact required at a review hearing.Ā ORS 419B.449.Ā The required findings include a determination of the need for continued substitute care.Ā ORS 419B.449 provides, in part:ĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀ
"(2)Ā The court shall conduct a hearing provided in subsection (1) of this section in the manner provided in ORS 419B.310, except that the court may receive testimony and reports as provided in ORS 419B.325.Ā At the conclusion of the hearing, the court shall enter findings of fact.
"(3)Ā If the child or ward is in substitute care and the decision of the court is to continue the child or ward in substitute care, the findings of the court shall specifically state:
"(a)(A)Ā Why continued care is necessary as opposed to returning the child or ward home or taking prompt action to secure another permanent placement[.]"
Thus, in a permanency judgment, the juvenile court must make again the same findings that are the basis of the review hearing order that J. G. challenges in this appeal.Ā
A case is moot when the court's decision will not have a practical effect on the parties' rights.Ā Reid v. DCBS, 235 Or App 397, 400, 232 P3d 994 (2010).Ā For example, in State v. M. A. H., 233 Or App 467, 469, 226 P3d 59 (2010), the Department of Human Services (DHS) appealed from judgments denying a change in a permanency plan on the basis that adoptive placements had not been identified.Ā Adoptive placements were subsequently identified and approved, and we concluded that appellate review would have no practical effect, because DHS already could obtain in the juvenile court the only relief that it could obtain on appeal, namely, reconsideration of the permanency plan in light of the changed circumstances. ĀHere, similarly, J. G. asks us to consider whether, at the time of the review hearing, the juvenile court erred in concluding that J. G.'s siblings should remain in substitute care.Ā Because the juvenile court has since entered a permanency judgment and was, at the time of the permanency hearing, required to determine again whether the siblings should remain in substitute care, our decision regarding the determination at the review hearing would have no practical effect on the rights of the parties.
We note that the situation is different when a party appeals from a permanency judgment and a subsequent review hearing is held.Ā In State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. L. V., 219 Or App 207, 215, 182 P3d 866 (2008), the father appealed from a permanency judgment, arguing that the juvenile court should have returned the child to the father and should not have designated a concurrent plan of guardianship.Ā We rejected an argument that a subsequent review hearing, which continued the status quo by again declining to place the child with the father, rendered the father's appeal moot:Ā "Because the dependency statutes contemplate multiple hearings before permanency is achieved, subsequent review hearings in a juvenile dependency case do not necessarily render an appeal from a permanency hearing judgment moot."Ā Id. at 216.Ā In L. V., the permanency judgment and the choice of permanent plan continued to have a practical effect on whether and under what circumstances the father could parent the child, despite a subsequent review order that simply continued the status quo by again declining to place the child with the father.Ā Id. at 216-17. Ā
Here, the order of events is reversed.Ā J. G. appeals from a review order continuing his siblings in substitute care, but a subsequent permanency hearing was held.Ā The findings required at a permanency hearing are more extensive than the findings required at a review hearing.Ā Among other things, after a permanency hearing, the court must make a determination of the permanency plan and findings supporting that plan.Ā ORS 419B.476(5)(b) - (f).Ā If the plan is return to a parent, the court must determine the services required for the parent and the progress that the parent is required to make in a specified time.Ā ORS 419B.476(5)(c).Ā If the plan is adoption, the court must determine whether a compelling reason exists not to file a termination of parental rights petition.Ā ORS 419B.476(5)(d); ORS 419B.498(2)(b).Ā Such reasons include a circumstance in which "[a]nother permanent plan is better suited to meet the health and safety needs of the child or ward, including the need to preserve the child's or ward's sibling attachments and relationships[.]"Ā ORS 419B.498(2)(b)(B).Ā If the plan is guardianship, placement with a relative, or another planned permanent living arrangement, the court must explain why the plan is not placement with the parent or adoption.Ā ORS 419B.476(5(e), (f).Ā Because the juvenile court in a permanency hearing must consider not only the continuation of substitute care, as required under ORS 419B.449, but also make the determinations required by ORS 419B.476, a permanency judgment does not merely continue the status quo; the determinations made in a permanency judgment subsume the findings from the earlier review hearing and add findings that bear on the need for substitute care.Ā Accordingly, in light of the subsequent entry of a permanency judgment, J. G.'s appeal from the review hearing is moot.
Appeal dismissed as moot.
1. Accordingly, we do not reach the issues raised in the motion to dismiss filed by the Department of Human Services.Ā

It's shocking how dumb B.C. Hydro and the provincial government continue to be about smart meters. Right from the start, with the decision to impose the controversial devices without public consultation or oversight from the B.C. Utilities Commission, the province has shown contempt for B.C. Hydro customers who are also citizens. You'd think they would have learned from the absolute fiasco of the HST that bullying voters into submission is no way to run a government.
After finally recognizing that the large number of smart-meter refuseniks wasn't going away, and with an election looming, the Liberals agreed to abandon their plans to impose the meters on homeowners who opposed to the technology for various reasons, including health concerns and invasion of privacy.
Now B.C. Hydro has announced ridiculous, punitive fees of $420 a year on people who keep their old meters. The $35-a-month charge, not approved by the commission, is outrageous and more of the same bullying that has made B.C. Hydro the enemy of many British Columbians.
It's simply not fair that longtime customers who are costing Hydro nothing by not accepting new equipment, who are already paying electricity rates that included the cost of meter reading, are being charged the most. How is it right that customers who relent and accept smart meters that have been disabled so they don't transmit are only being charged $240 a year for meter reading? The fees are coercion.
Hydro's plan to automatically bill customers the new fees if they don't decide by Dec. 1 is negative billing and improper. There is a class-action suit about the program before the courts and the new fees aren't sanctioned. B.C. Hydro and the Liberals should stop trying to impose full compliance and let people keep their old meters without new fees.

TOWN OF MORGAN - The Oconto County Machickanee Forest Shooting Range has temporarily been shut down.
A handful of people complained about rapid fire coming from the range Thursday evening, with bullets going through some of their yards.
The incident comes two days after neighbors met about stray bullets damaging their property.
Virgil Brown says he's sick of having run-ins with stray bullets.
"Anytime I come outside, I'm worried, who is it going to be? Me? Grandkids?" said Brown, who lives in Abrams, about a mile away from the shooting range.
Brown says a stray bullet damaged his gazebo about two years ago.
Brown was happy to hear the range has been temporarily shut down.
"It's about time," said Brown. "Can't have bullets flying around like that."
Two people told the county bullets came through their yards.
"I did talk to the person that did the complaining and they're pretty certain," said Bob Skalitzky, the head of the Oconto County Forestry Department. "He said with 100 percent certainty it was rapid fire, might have been two or three people."
John Duggan says the bullets came through his yard. Duggan showed FOX 11 damage to his home on Tuesday that he says came from bullets.
"We're not exactly sure how it's happening, but we want it to be safe," said Duggan on Tuesday.
County officials say on a typical weekend day, as many as a hundred people could be at the range, which they say can make it sometime sound like someone is shooting rapid fire. However, they say Thursday night's complaints were different.
"If people were using the range properly, shooting at the targets, the backstops would stop the bullets from leaving the range," said Skalitzky.
The county runs the range.
Duggan and Brown both say they'd like it to reopen, but only if the safety issues are resolved.
"Wisconsin is a hunting state," said Brown. "Shutting it down, that's not the answer."
County officials say they're already using feedback from Tuesday's town hall meeting to try to resolve the issues.
They say the earliest the range could reopen is Thursday, after the county forestry's committee meeting.

A MAN whose body was found by the side of Anglezarke Reservoir in Rivington was the victim of an "extremely violent" murder, police have revealed.
Umair Waseem, 22, of Bolton, was discovered in a car park off Moor Road near the reservoir early yesterday.
Workers from United Utilities made the grim discovery at 9.50am and officers from Lancashire Constabulary are today leading the hunt for his killers.
Detective Superintendent Steve Brunskill said: "This is an extremely violent murder of a young Asian man who was well known in the area around Bolton.
"Police and paramedics were called to the scene and on arrival it was clear that the victim was deceased.
"It was noticed immediately that his legs were bound together and his hands tied behind his back and that he had suffered head injuries.
"Also found at the car park was the Silver BMW car and naturally I am interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen Mr Waseem or the BMW car from anytime around 7:45pm on the evening of Sunday, February 1, onwards."
Det Sup Brunskill said that Mr Waseem was last seen by his family leaving their home on Sunday evening in a Silver 7 series BMW with the registration DF02 JFK.
Detectives from Lancashire are now working jointly with officers from Greater Manchester police to investigate what Det Sup Brunskill branded a "horrific murder".
He added: "We would also appeal for anyone who may have seen anything at all suspicious in the area or have any information whatsoever to come forward and contact police on the number above or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
People can also contact the police at Chorley where a major investigation room has been set up on 01257 246271.

The singer's older sibling passed away in December
Peter Andre's ITV2 reality show has broadcast scenes of him spending time with older brother Andrew before he lost his battle with kidney cancer last month.
The singer organised a meal with loved ones including girlfriend Emily MacDonagh and his two children before going on tour, where Andrew made a moving toast.
'I'm the only one that's not seen my brother on tour so it's a great opportunity to see the full tour. I'm excited for that,' said Andrew, who died at the age of 54.
Peter, 39, replied: 'All we want is for you to get better.'
The singer was visibly upset when he received news that Andrew's illness had worsened and was seen phoning him up numerous times while promoting his new album to check how he was doing.
He later made a visit to TV chat show This Morning to talk about the devastating diagnosis.
'He got pretty much the all clear and we planned to go away,' said Peter.
'Then literally within weeks it went everywhere again.'

Netflix updated its popular app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch this morning, adding support for high-definition video streaming to your favorite Apple mobile device.
And Netflix now supports AirPlay streaming, so you can watch that really good movie on the big screen too.
40 percent of American 18- to 34-year-old viewers subscribe to Netflix, which is more about the convenience of the service than the content, as Netflix is still missing many key shows. By adding Airplay streaming and high definition at the same time, Netflix is kicking that convenience factor even higher, with high quality video you can watch on your tablet or phone, or flip over to your TV.
Netflix also said that it was adding "playback optimizations" and "stability improvements" to the iOS 7 app, all of which is good. No one wants to have their app crash right before the big finale in a movie.
One caveat on the Airplay streaming: Netflix says you need to disable Airplay mirroring before doing so.
That's a good thing, I suppose, as it means you can now use your iPad or iPhone to do other things, rather than simply display exactly what the bigger screen is also showing. And it'll save some of your mobile device's battery life.
The update is available at the Apple app store.

U.S. panel to release China trade recommendations
Post a comment
WASHINGTON A panel focusing on U.S.-China economic and military relations will deliver its annual report to Congress next week.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission will deliver its recommendations to lawmakers next Thursday (Nov. 15) during a Capitol Hill briefing.
The commission said Friday that recommendations will cover weapons proliferation, the transfer of U.S. high technology, manufacturing and R&D activities to China, energy policy, China's military modernization and Beijing's relations with India and Taiwan.
Observers said the panel is expected to take a hard line on China's efforts to upgrade its military and U.S. export controls on high-tech goods shipped to China.

Too many jazz concerts — in San Diego?
For years (make that decades), such a notion would have seemed so misguided as to inspire laughter and sputtering, if not outright derision. Performances here by major and budding jazz talents were few and far between, prompting some fans to travel to Los Angeles or beyond to satisfy their musical appetites.
Yet, despite the still-troubled economy, the number of alluring live jazz options in San Diego is on the rise. And with more area venues than ever joining in, local fans are in the increasingly rare position of having to choose between different jazz concerts held here the same week, if not the same night.
That's a positive development, culturally speaking. But it also raises some concerns, economically speaking, at least until science makes it possible to be in two places at the same time.
"It can divide the audience when you have two jazz concerts the same night," said rising San Diego pianist Joshua White, 24. "But I think the San Diego jazz scene can support having multiple jazz shows, if they're all promoted well."
But such a contention may be premature, at least judging by several recent instances here, regardless of how well (or not) such concerts are promoted.
Guitar legend Pat Metheny's April 21 performance at the 1,465-seat Spreckels Theater took place the same night that the Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour all-star band played a few blocks away at the 1,339-seat Balboa Theatre. Metheny drew about 900 fans, the Monterey band perhaps half as many.
On April 14, guitarist Bill Frisell and his trio were appearing at downtown's 350-seat Anthology the same night that fellow guitar great Anthony Wilson and his group were at the 350-seat Athenaeum Jazz at Neurosciences Institute gig. Between them, these two venues have presented some of the top names in jazz, although Anthology's bookings typically lean more toward pop, rock, R&B and other contemporary styles. But neither Frisell or Wilson drew a full house here, which isn't surprising since both appeal to a similar audience.
"We had a good turnout for Anthony Wilson, but I think it would have been a sold-out show if it wasn't the same night that Bill Frisell was here," said Dan Atkinson, who has been the La Jolla Athenaeum's jazz program coordinator since 1989 and is the founder of UCSD's 8-year-old Jazz Camp.
"I certainly heard from a number of people who came to see Anthony who said they wished they could have gone to both performances that night. So Anthology would also have had a larger crowd for Frisell if there hadn't been this conflict. But I'm also hearing this about jazz concerts held here the same week, not just the same night, because there are only so many concerts people can go to."
Other recent conflicting jazz concerts here include singer Gretchen Parlatto at The Loft at UCSD on April 7 (the same night top pianists Kenny Werner and Mike Wofford were at the Birch North Park Theatre) and Brazil's Trio de Paz at the Athenaeum on Feb. 18 (the same night the American trio Mauger was at The Loft at UCSD. Just last weekend, guitarist Charlie Hunter's trio and drummer Stanton Moore's quartet performed at, respectively, The Loft at UCSD and the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Both appeal to essentially the same audience.
"We don't live in a small town — we live in a big city," said UCSD ArtPower! artistic director Martin Wollesen, the man behind The Loft at UCSD's recently concluded first jazz series. A second series, featuring pianist Vijay Iyer and guitarist Lionel Loueke, has already been confirmed for the 2010/2011 UCSD school year.
"Part of our job is not to have and share the same audience (as other venues)," Wollesen noted. "Our job is to build audiences, and that happens when more people are engaged with the art form, which is starting to happen more in San Diego. The more people who participate, the better, be it as presenters, audience members or artists."
But what about San Diego's problematic history when it comes to supporting jazz?
This, after all, is a city where such jazz luminaries as Miles Davis, John McLaughlin and Branford Marsalis all had concerts canceled because of weak advance ticket sales. It's also a city that has more defunct jazz venues — among them Bella Via, the Blue Parrot, Bristol Court, the Crossroads, Elario's, El Campo Ruse, the Horton Grand, International Blend, Juke Joint Cafe and The Loft at Diego's — than active ones, despite jazz's recent growth here.
"In some ways, there are parallels between the jazz and contemporary dance audiences in San Diego," Wollesen said. "When Christopher Beach came to town to become the La Jolla Music Society's president and artistic director, he asked me if I was worried about their doing dance programming. I said, 'No. It's great.' The more people that are informed and engaged, the better. Sometimes, people will make choices between our programs and another venue's, but I'd rather have that than not have any discussion at all."
In varying degrees, this discussion also includes downtown's Dizzy's (which has mostly local talent but sometimes brings in national acts), Pacific Beach's Tango del Rey (ditto) and radio station KSDS-FM's monthly "Jazz Live" concert series, which is held at City College's Saville Theatre, downtown. After a one-year hiatus, KSDS — which in 1993 won the prestigious Marconi Award as the nation's Jazz Station of the Year, will reactivate its annual Ocean Beach Jazz Festival on Sept. 11, in expanded form.
Then, there's the La Jolla Music Society's annual jazz series at the Birch North Park Theatre, which concluded last night with a performance by Latin jazz veteran Poncho Sanchez. The Birch, coincidentally, is the same venue where top San Diego flutist Holly Hofmann this year teamed with Lyric Opera San Diego to launch the monthly Jazz in North Park series. It's the successor to Jazz in the Park, the very popular concert series Hofmann booked for seven years at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. In the 1990s, she was instrumental in transforming downtown's Horton Grand into a nationally renowned jazz venue.
"I've always found, in all the cities I've performed in, that — more than any other music — jazz is cyclical, in terms of the number of venues available," said Hofmann, the first San Diego promoter to present such then rising-stars as Diana Krall and Cassandra Wilson here.
"The Jazz in North Park series audience is a fairly affluent crowd, and they can afford to go to two concerts the same week. But they tell me they just don't have the time, because people's lives are busier than ever. From the artist's perspective, I have always been of the opinion that it's good when jazz is being played in more venues, because it gives the music a greater presence.
"As a promoter, I have to constantly research what kind of artists are appearing in town so that I can present something special and different each time. That's why Dan Atkinson and I work closely together when we plan our respective bookings, which we sometimes do as much as a year in advance. Ultimately, from every perspective, I still think it's better to have more jazz than less. This is America's classical music and it should be played more than it is."
That, no doubt, it should.
And for those who recall the days when important jazz artists performed here only slightly more often than hail fell in Pacific Beach, the growing number of jazz options is cause for celebration. What remains to be seen is whether the audience will grow sufficiently to enable all of those venues to survive, if not thrive.
In the words of the late KSDS radio host Ron Galon: "People here will support jazz if it's free." Now, it's time for local audiences to make a sound investment. Jazz — and San Diego — deserves no less.

Thom Tillis really needs to win the primary outright in May if he's going to challenge Kay Hagan as a moderate, pragmatic Republican. The runoff is set for mid July. The short session of the legislature starts in mid-May. And in both events Thom Tillis will be a main attraction.
As the last session of legislature showed, Tillis has a difficult caucus with a number of far right ideologues. He seemed to be blindsided when some of his members introduced legislation to allow for a state religion. He sat by while they passed a law banning Sharia Law. And he was a party to the legislation like voter suppression and denying teachers a pay raise that spawned the Moral Monday movement and fired up the Democratic base. Tillis can't afford a repeat.
In a runoff, he'll be taking heat from his right flank. The rap on him among conservatives is that Tillis is not a true conservative but an ambitious politician. The legislative session will test his ability to balance the sometimes nutty legislation that emerges from the Tea Partiers and social conservatives and the more pragmatic, moderate profile he'll need in a general election.
Without a runoff opponent, Tillis can try to position himself as the voice of reason, tamping down the right while pushing through common sense legislation like teacher pay raises. That's the Tillis that needs to run against Hagan if he hopes to win in November.
Right now, most polls look like the race is heading to a runoff. To avoid one, Tillis needs a few breaks and a smart campaign.
First, he needs a large turnout. Tillis will have an advantage on the airwaves and can reach a broader audience. A larger the turnout will mitigate the impact of the more narrowly focused grassroots operations that FreedomWorks is running for Greg Brannon and the old Christian Coalition is likely preparing for Mark Harris.
Second, Tillis needs a larger turnout among less ideological unaffiliated voters. In recent years, unaffiliated voters have been increasingly involved in primaries. Tillis needs to tap into those less partisan voters who are not happy with Obama and, by extension, Hagan and offer himself an alternative. He could certainly benefit from a field operation.
To assure that he's competitive in November, Tillis needs to win in May. Raising the profile of the primary with large ad buys can increase the turnout. Building an operation to reach unaffiliated voters and put them in the polls can increase his margin. But he'll certainly need a lot of stars to align to avoid a July runoff.

If you get to 7 interceptions, QB's will stop throwing to you, from there, if you get anything it's off of a deflection from someone else. It won't happen again though.
I like your comments, and I always become a fan of my fellow serial commenters! Keep doin it! You should try writing articles as well.

While most Pride festivals devolve into a wild display of hormones and feather boas, this October's Come Out With Pride even in Orlando, Fla., aims to be different.
In the past, this LGBT event has been just as fabulous as any other Pride parade. The entire first week of October is reserved for Come Out With Pride festivities, ending in a parade centered around downtown Orlando's Lake Eola Park. Instead of focusing on the typical excess associated with a Pride parade, Come Out With Pride executive director and senior executive producer Mikael Frank Audebert tells Orlando Weekly the October event will be put on a leash — still leather, of course.
With the recent advances in civil equality and the cultural spotlight on the LGBT community, Audebert acknowledges that this year's festival has a new responsibility. Regarding the event's new image, Audebert says, "Let's face it, our community is so diverse. The job of a Pride celebration is to put a celebration out there that's for everyone."
As part of the new focus on inclusion, even Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, formerly a political figure against LGBT rights, will be part of the Oct. 5 culmination. Jacobs's participation in Come Out With Pride might even herald a new era for Pride festivals, in which they become not only celebrations of LGBT pride but beacons of community pride.

Detroit has been bankrupt for years. It simply refuses to admit it. Detroit's schools are bankrupt as well. A mere 25% of students graduate from high school.
Yet, in spite of hints and threats from mayors and budget commissions, and in spite of common sense talk of bankruptcy, Detroit has not pulled the bankruptcy trigger.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
In a futile attempt to stave off the inevitable one last time, Mayor Bing's latest plan is to cutoff city services including road repairs, police patrols, street lights, and garbage collection in 20% of Detroit.

I look forward to this time of year every year — the time when college decisions are released.
It marks years of hard work. It also brings with it hope for the future and a new beginning. And while we celebrate acceptances and grieve denials, many don't know how to react to getting waitlisted. This is mainly because most don't understand what the waitlist means and also because students are truly just tired of waiting any longer. A waitlist offer tends to conjure more disappointment than hope. Many students take this to mean that they fell short or that they are a college's second, third or 40th choice.
But what does being offered a position on the waitlist mean? Colleges have limited seats available and so admissions officers are forced to make choices. When they are offering you a waitlist position, they are sending you the message that they think you are a great fit for the class and your accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. You would be a fantastic addition to the campus, but they need to see how many admitted students will accept their offers of admissions before they pull students off the waitlist.
Most waitlists are unranked. Colleges are not lying when they say that. It is not some ploy to appease you. Remember that admissions officers are trying to build a well-rounded class. Once the college receives the decisions from its admitted students, they then go through the waitlist to see which students would best complement the incoming class. At this point, they may also need to evaluate the financial aid it has available to offer students. Accordingly, they will admit students off the waitlist in small batches, offering more spots as they become available. This process is usually complete no later than June, but in very rare situations I have seen students get offered a position off the waitlist in early August.
It may sound like the college has all the power in this situation. But you do not need to just comply and play the waiting game. Think clearly about whether or not the school or schools that offered you waitlist positions are among your top choices. You are not obligated to accept the position. If it is not a school you would seriously consider, politely turn it down and give another student a chance. Collecting admissions offers is not the goal of the admissions process. If you do want to stay on the waitlist, you will likely not get a decision back until after the May 1 deadline to accept an offer of admission. This means you must decide among the colleges that accepted you where you will attend. Do not rely on the waitlist. It is completely unpredictable how many students will be offered spots off the list. It can vary from 0 to 300 depending on the college and the year.
While you wait, be excited about your other prospects. Do your due diligence. Visit colleges. Talk to current students. Get engaged with the school you accept. Chances are strong that the college where you submit your Intent to Register is where you will be come fall.
If you are accepted from the waitlist, you will likely have very little time to make a decision. If you decide to accept, you will need to first withdraw your Intent to Register from the school you accepted. Chances are your family will lose the deposit. It is a very easy process and it happens every year. You are not violating any agreements or laws.
Most students prefer the black and white of an acceptance or denial, but I always cheer for a waitlist. It's still an accomplishment and should not be viewed as any less. Try not to dwell on the fact that you have to wait. Focus on the positives — you are going to college! What you have been working so hard for during the past several years is right in front of you. Enjoy this moment and savor it. It's a time in your life like no other.

Why We Can't Be Appraisers
The Oregon State University Library is unable to provide appraisals of the monetary value of materials offered as gifts, brought in for identification, or submitted for any other purpose.
The Internal Revenue Service regards libraries and museums as interested parties, and appraisals by them for gifts that they receive are subject to question. This resulted because some libraries and museums in the past were tempted to compete for gifts by providing high appraisals. Consequently, the Association of College and Research Libraries recommends that "to protect both its donors and itself, the library, as an interested party, ordinarily should not appraise gifts made to it." Most libraries and museums now follow policies on appraisals similar to ours.
When an appraisal is used for tax and insurance purposes, an appraiser must be prepared to defend his appraisal in court. This requires an expert knowledge of prices. Valley Library is not in the business of buying and selling on a daily basis, so it cannot provide current market information as appraisers can. Furthermore, appraisers often have much more extensive collections of price guides and related bibliographies than can be found in most libraries.

Wednesday, Aug. 8 — David Bibb, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dee Bibb of Las Vegas, is one of four members of Highlands University's August graduating class who participated in the institution's Early Admissions Program. And he is the first from Las Vegas to graduate under the program. Because Bibb attended summer school as well, he was able to graduate in three years.
Meeting on water rate hike is Tuesday
The city of Las Vegas continues to hold public meetings on its proposed water rate hikes. The next meeting, which will focus on the proposed rate hikes as they apply to commercial customers, will be at 6:30 p.m. this Tuesday at Sininger Hall on the New Mexico Highlands University campus, 904 National Ave.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. South wind 10-15 mph, becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. Scattered showers and thunderstorms at night. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 58. West wind 5-10 mph, becoming north after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent.
ALBUQUERQUE — Tribal leaders and others are praising the nomination of a University of New Mexico Law School dean to oversee the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, saying he's well-qualified and understands the issues facing American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
New Mexico U.S. Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall said they would push for the swift confirmation of Kevin Washburn in the Senate. Washburn will succeed Larry Echo Hawk, who resigned earlier this year, if the nomination is approved.

More NM moms are breastfeeding
SANTA FE — The state's top health official says it's good news that more New Mexico mothers are breastfeeding their babies.

The CDC report says that 81.5 percent of New Mexico mothers breastfed their babies at some point. That's up from 73.1 percent in last year's report.

Every day at work, I run different MySQL queries to make my life as a developer a little easier. Tools such as phpMyAdmin can be a real benefit, but it's often quicker to use the command line to run database commands.
Since I work with WordPress the most, here's a handy snippet that no WordPress developer should be without; update your live database download so it works on your development environment.
Live Database Dump to Development Database
# Update wp_options table UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = REPLACE(option_value,'jamie3d.com','jamie3d.dev'); # Update wp_posts table UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE(guid,'jamie3d.com','jamie3d.dev');
For the above snippet, it's important to note that running this query on the options table can be risky if you have serialized data stored in the database. The easy fix is to make sure your domain name length doesn't change. So I use jamie3d.dev because it has the same number of characters as jamie3d.com does. Essentially, changing the length of a serialized string corrupts it.
Here's another way that uses variables: https://gist.github.com/jamiehs/9647075
Create a Database & Assign a User
CREATE DATABASE database_name; CREATE USER 'user_name'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'user_name'@'localhost'; # To grant specific privileges, use this format instead: GRANT SHOW DATABASES, SELECT, LOCK TABLES, RELOAD ON *.* TO 'user_name'@'localhost';
A shorthand version of this command also exists, but I like the verbosity of the above command.
Relative Time Ago (in MySQL query)
# Relative Time DATE_SUB( NOW( ) , INTERVAL 25 HOUR ) # For example: # Select all users who were updated in the last 25 hours. SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.updated > DATE_SUB( NOW( ) , INTERVAL 25 HOUR ); # Select all users who were updated in the last 2 days. SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.updated > DATE_SUB( NOW( ) , INTERVAL 2 day );

Premier League: Diego Lugano admits Luis Suarez and Nicolas Anelka are battling English culture
West Brom's Diego Lugano believes Uruguay team-mate Luis Suarez receives "fierce" treatment in the Premier League.
Last Updated: 02/02/14 4:19pm
Lugano comes up against his compatriot on Sunday as the Baggies host fourth-placed Liverpool at The Hawthorns.
Suarez's time in the English top flight has not been without controversy and Lugano does not understand why the striker receives a hostile reception wherever he goes.
However, despite Suarez being handed bans for alleged racial abuse and biting an opponent, Lugano believes it is the Liverpool forward who is harshly treated.
"Luis is fiercely tackled in every game but that's because he is the best Premier League player," he claimed in an interview with The Sun.
"They tackle Luis also because he is a tough guy and he will be up on his feet after being tackled and facing defenders again.
"Luis is the best player in the league and even my team-mates at West Brom have asked me to a shirt signed by him."
Lugano insists Suarez' character cannot be judged by his previous actions and reiterated his support for his fellow countryman.
"There are people that still doubt whether Luis is a good person or not," he added. "I always say exactly the same - he is not a bad person for having had troubles with some opponents.
"That says nothing about him as a person. In my team, I would like to have a player like him, who fights and troubles his opponents but is like a lion when he has to defend his team-mates.
"Luis gets hard tackles all the time and nobody here in England says something about it. But if you insult an opponent inside the pitch, as it happened with Luis, then you will be punished.
"That's part of the English culture and you, as a player, have to adapt to it."
Suarez is not the only man to be embroiled in controversy however. Lugano's West Brom team-mate Nicolas Anelka has recently been charged by the FA for celebrating his goal with a 'quenelle salute', deemed to be an anti-Semitic gesture.
Despite admitting he did not understand the celebration initially, Lugano believes both Anelka and Suarez are picked out because they are the best players in the league.
"I'm surprised as well that Anelka has been punished for a gesture," he said. "I must confess that I didn't know what it meant.
"I asked him and he told me it was a gesture for a friend of his - a French comedian.
"But you know English people; they are really strict over here. Just look at the case of Suarez. I think that they punish people like Anelka or Suarez because they are world class players."
Away from the ongoing furore off the field, Lugano has been impressed by Anelka's strength and determination in training.
"I was surprised by Anelka," he admitted. "He's a really tough forward. Our training sessions are tough.
"I have tackled him many times and he has never said anything to me.
"He doesn't even look at me. He just gets up and keeps playing. That's amazing. I've told him I was truly surprised by him as a player."

Pikachu is helping Nintendo use a "quick attack" on its bottom line.
The publisher revealed today that it has sold 12 million copies of Pokémon X and Y worldwide. That makes the monster-collecting role-playing titles, which are slight variations of the same game, the fastest-selling 3DS software. In January, Nintendo revealed it had sold 11.6 million copies of X and Y, which means it averaged 200,000 additional copies sold in both February and March. In December, Nintendo revealed it has sold more than 42 million 3DSes. That means close to one in four owners of the portable also purchased X or Y, which represents a massive attach rate for a game.
Pokémon is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. To date, the company has sold over 245 million games in the series. That includes mainline titles like Pokémon Red and Blue, but it also counts spinoffs like the puzzler Pokémon Trozei.
While X and Y are performing well, they are trailing behind some other hits in the franchise due to the 3DS's smaller install base. The original titles, Pokémon Red and Blue, crossed 24 million on the original Game Boy. Of course, Red and Blue hit Nintendo's original portable after it had around seven or eight years to establish itself (depending on the region). Red and Blue hit Japan in 1996 and the U.S. in 1998. The Game Boy debuted in 1989 in Japan and 1990 in the U.S. The 3DS, however, only launched in 2011.
The Game Boy Advance titles Ruby and Sapphire moved 16 million throughout their lifetime. On DS, Diamond and Pearl are sitting at 17.6 million while Black and White crossed 15.4 million in sales.
After debuting Pokémon in 1996 and sticking closely to the formula ever since, Nintendo and its developer Game Freak made some big changes to X and Y. Unlike previous entries in the series, the game is fully 3D. Battles are also much more dynamic and feature more animation than ever. Those changes seem to have paid off in terms of sales.
During March, Nintendo was also giving away free digital copies of X or Y through its Club Nintendo rewards website. Customers who purchased and registered a new 3DS console and one of six qualifying games got X or Y for free. That promo ran through March 31.

When in Rome...or Nawlins, you have to visit the Quarter just to say you've seen it. There is no other city like it in America with 150 year old buildings, small stone covered streets and a party atmosphere rivaled in few other places. I am not much of a party animal, and I am a lightweight in the drinking department, I don't visit peak-a-boo bars but Nawlins specializes in one thing I do like.....a lot. So far every restaurant I've eaten in has been pretty amazing.
They love the slurpee type adult beverages here, so I decided to have one. I had a hurricane, it was tasty..and strong. I slurped it as I walked the entire street. I finally settled on Le Bayou because it looked clean and inviting, not crazy and over the top.
Unlike the place I ate the night before, which was spicy and very Cajun, La Bayou was more on the French side of Cajun cuisine. The Menu made it very difficult to decide what to try, but I settled on the Shrimp and Grits Napoleon partially because the price was right and partially because...well I love grits if they are done well, and I figured they'd be good here.
Only one negative. The place was busy and open tables were few so when I needed to visit the restroom I warned my waiter I was not leaving. Sure enough as soon as I turned my back the bus boys started clearing my food off the table. I had to sprint across the room, grab the bus boy by the shoulder and ask him to stop. Luckily I stopped him in time :-).
For great food, great service, atmosphere right on Bourbon street I give Le Bayou 4.75 out of 5 stars.

Anyone know if Tunnel mountain is open this winter for RV camping???
Hi. I have finally booked my trip to the rockies on Oct16-Oct22. My bf and I will arrive and depart from Calgary and rent a car from there. We are planning to stay in Banff fro 4 days and 3 days in Jasper. I just saw in some reviews that Lake Louise doesn't look as beautiful as it is during summer time. Is this true? Does it really lose it's beautiful turquoise colour in this months? If yes, is there any alternatives or other sceneries that we might enjoy?
Also, from Jasper, what is the quickest route back to Calgary. Our flight from Calgary leaves at 1230pm so we are wondering what time should we leave Jasper? Is it safe to drive at night? Thanks in advance.
Our first RV trip. couple + 3 kids (13, 10, 8). I would love recommendations of a good itinerary and recommended campgrounds for 10 nights (net) in August.
Hello! i´m planning to go to Banff, Jasper and every beautiful place there, but i would like go to big cities too like Montreal Toronto etc. I will go in May 2016 and have 1 month to go to all those places but dont know where to start. Why? because i dont know how is the weather in that month. I will be studying english in Vancouver before that.
thank you!
We were caught in a snow storm and and got stuck in the wrong lane at the gate. Is there anywhere to get a parking pass in the town of banff
Travelling to canada at the end of August and hoping to meet other travellers to then explore Banff and jasper with! Can anyone recommend a good tour agency, or a hostel base where I will meet more backpackers doing the same :)
Thanks in advance for any info
Our summer/fall is open. What's the best time for wildflowers in Canadian Rockies and best time for clear skies? I realize the latter is very unpredictable!
We're thinking of a family trip (flying in from Toronto to maybe Calgary?) with our young family (1 and 4 year olds) mid-October. We're not into the camping thing but would LOVE any itinerary suggestions for catching all the great sites and short exploring hikes. Places to stay - things to do and see - any advice or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks so much in advance~!
I am planning a stagette in Banff and the bride is very interested in the aboriginal culture. I am looking for activities that we can do as a group such as dream catcher making or??
Thank you!!
Looking for a recommendation on a good tent camping spot in the Lake Louise area and the Jasper area - will be there the 2nd week of September. Thanks for any help.
Hi Guys,
We are planning on a 6 day trip to Banff from Vancouver (2nd- 7th Sep). We plan to drive. I was wondering if you could all help us pin down the 'must see' places in the area as we really won't have too much time and don't want to miss out on anything that's absolutely worth seeing.
What easy 1/2 to full day hike might you suggest that might increase the likelihood for wildlife viewing ?
We are planning a 7 day trip in mid August (yes, the busiest time), but wanted to know if we stayed in one location (Banff or Lake Louise) can we enjoy all of the sites and activities in Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, Jasper, etc. We are looking at renting a condo and using it as a base. Most hotels are booked up and trying to keep from packing/unpacking along with having a hard time finding lodging for 3 people. We do not mind long days of driving, hiking, sight seeing.
Hi everyone. While I've already confirmed camping reservations I'd much prefer a cabin. Do you know of any cabins in or around the park-we don't mind driving for July 22-26 that a family of three could get for $150 or less?
We intend to drive the Icefields Parkway in early October and would like to know if it is advisable to book accommodation ahead? We don't know exactly when we will arrive at most of our intended destinations during our driving tour from Vancouver and don't want to be locked into specific dates but also don't want to be 'caught out' and not be able to find a bed for the night.
Any local's have any information on the progress of opening the road between Calgary and Banff? Thanks
In early July, well be driving from Calgary to the Canadian Rockies. I am looking for ideas of what to see do, and not miss based upon my itinerary:
Day 1: Drive from Calgary, overnight at Lake Louise
Day 2: Drive to Jasper, overnight in Jasper
Day 3: Drive to Banff, overnight in Banff
Day 4: Overnight in Banff
Day 5: Drive to Calgary for Calgary Stampede
With regards to days 1-4, I've listed where we'll end up each day/evening, so my question is what is possible to see/do/not miss each day. We want to see as much as possible, so given our itinerary. We're basically interested in sightseeing, scenic walks (not major day hikes), and interested in things like walking to tea houses, going up gondola's and trams for scenic views, boat trips on lakes, and of course the Columbia Ice Fields. We like to get early day starts to maximize and see/do as much as possible. Given my itinerary, how much can I fit in each day to maximize and do as much as we can? Appreciate any help, recommendations, and advice. Thank you.
We are planning an extended hiking trek in the Rockies near Banff NP. The three of us are quite experienced hikers and have all done plenty of hikes (ranging from 1-3 weeks at a time) in Northern Europe and South America.
For our hike in the Rockies we are wondering:
- Is hiking off the marked trails in national parks legal? (a source for this would be awesome!)
- Does anyone have either personal experience or knows of a good source of information (e.g. concerning routes/trailheads/etc.)?
Most information we were able to find concerns day-hikes or small 2-3 day hikes in the immediate vicinity of official camping places etc. This is not what we are looking for...
Friends of mine and me are planning an extended hiking trip in the Rockies near Banff NP. We will be traveling by bus, and therefore need to plan our hiking route with the reachable trail heads/endpoints in mind.
Does anyone know of a map(!) which shows all the Greyhound bus stations and stops? So far we have only found a list of all stations (the names), which is of no use to us at all as we have no idea where these stations actually are...
Hey, My bf and I (28 and 24 years old) are planning to spend a week visiting Banff around this mid August (Aug 17-27 as planned for now). We will be flying from Montreal to Calgary and we plan to rent a car in there. We would like to have some recommendations on what the must-see places in there are that we could go in 1 week and the suggested route? We want to spend some time walking, not staying in the car all the time. Also we want to spend at least 1 day in Calgary city (we plan to do this before we fly from Calgary back to Montreal at the end of our trip). What do you suggest to do in Calgary within 1-2 days? Thanks in advance for any recommendation!
Where is the nearest RV campground to Moraine Lake?
Hello there,
My husband and I are flying into Calgary on a Sunday in June and spending the next 7 days in the Banff area. We would like to see Lake Louise and possibly Jasper on top of Banff. Should we base our trip out of Banff (stay at the same place throughout the trip) and do day trips to these places? Or should we move around? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If I have only 1 or 2 days to visit Banff then which attractions, park or lakes are best to visit in Banff
My husband and I are planning an anniversary trip to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in mid-September. My husband wants to add a day to the trip. I'm willing to do so if necessary but 9 days away from my 2 year old is already a lot to ask! :) I've read a lot of posts on your Forum as well as Frommer's guide book. I've put together a potential itinerary but want to ensure that I'm not leaving something important out or that we aren't trying to do too much in one day. A little background...we are in our early 40's and pre-baby (3 years ago) we did a good amount of backpacking on the Appalachian Trail in TN and NC. We aren't in the shape we were then but from what I read I don't think I've picked any hikes that are out of our comfort zone. I would greatly appreciate any tips or insight you can offer. Thank you so much!

I am interested in a 4 night say in the Canadian Rockies. Fly into Calgary, then spend 4 nights in the mountains, then return to Calgary for a day at the Calgary Stampede. Traveling the first weekend in July. I am uncertain on how to spread out my 4 nights. I am interested in visiting Banff, Lake Louise, Banff, and all the attractions and sights in between. With 4 nights, where should we stay to maximize our visit? i.e. one night Banff, one night Jasper, one night Lake Lousie, one night back at one of the previous locations? Basically just doing a sighteseeing roadtrip, but want to be sure to see all the sights. What's the best itinerary to place ourselves each night in order to maximize our short visit and see as much as possible? Thanks for your itinerary suggestions.
I will be traveling july 28-aug.9 2012 Flying into Calgary. I will post my itinerary and if anyone can give me some help on what to see and do within the time frame I would much appreciate it.
July 28- fly into Calgary and drive to Lake Louise-after arriving mid afternoon possibly take a Gondola ride.
July 29 - (Staying in Lake Louise)canoe at Chateu LL,walk around lake at Chateu LL,hike to tea house NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN FIT INTO THIS DAY??
July 30- (staying in Lake Louise)go to YoHo to takkawaka falls,Emerald lake,Morraine Lake and Lake Ohara CAN THIS BE DONE ALL IN ONE DAY?? OR AM I MISSING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD??
July 31- (Drive to Jasper) along the way stop at Bow Lake,Peyto Lake,Icefields
Aug.1-(JASPER) Boat trip on Maligne Lake/Spirit Island,walk on trails around Maligne Lake-ARE THERE ANY SPESIFIC EAST TRAILS TO CONSIDER??
Aug.2-(JASPER)Go to MT.Edith Cravel,Tram Ride,Athabasca Falls DON'T KNOW IF THESE
Aug.3-(JASPER)Sunwapta Falls,Horseback ride or take a Athabasca river raft trip? ANY OPINIONS??
Aug.4 (Leave Jasper drive to Banff) Go on tram ride in Banff,go into town.
Aug.5-8 (BANFF) I NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR 3 1/2 FULL DAYS IN BANFF. These are some options that I was told- Waterfalls(but I don't know where or the names),Spray River loop hike,Bow Valley Float trip (in evening),hoodoos,Johnston Canyon,any small easy walks/hikes (I am afraid of the bears,is there a guide that I could hire?)
Aug.8-Leave Banff in afternoon and drive to Calgary Airport
Aug.9- fly home
After getting a better idea of trip duration from my dad and taking advice from my earlier thread into consideration, I think I know what I want to fit into two days, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it and where to stay. That's where I need some recommendations.
We're departing from North Dakota probably on July 8 and driving up to Regina for a Roughriders game. After staying the night there, we plan on driving to Calgary (or Cochrane because hotel rates seem to be high because of the Calgary Stampede). From Calgary/Cochrane we would head into Banff National Park and spend two nights in the area. After the second night, we would drive to Waterton National Park, which leaves a bit of time that day to either do a couple more things in Banff or do something in Waterton.
The following are the things I want to see in Banff (and Yoho):
Banff area
Johnston Canyon
Takkakaw Falls (Yoho)
Lake Louise
Moraine Lake
Peyto Lake
Icefields Parkway up to Athabasca Glacier
How would I best fit this into two full days plus maybe part of a third? And where should I stay the two nights in the park?
My family is considering heading up to the Canadian Rockies after spending time in Glacier (the American one)/Waterton. We'd probably spend a night at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton and then head up to Banff.
I need more details from my dad, but I'm assuming we'd spend about two days in the area. If that's the case, what's the best way to spend two days? Is it best to just stay in Banff National Park since it's a short amount of time, or would visiting Jasper, Yoho, or Kootenay be a good idea?
What are some things that are must-see or must-do? No long, less-frequented trails because my dad freaks out about bears and refuses to allow it. Any shorter and more popular trails that we should take?
Anything worth our time in Calgary?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm pretty much researching this myself, and there is so much information to sort through.
My wife and I will be in Jackson, WY in mid-July to visit Yellowstone, and wanted to rent a car and drive up to Glacier NP and then to the Canadian Rockies (Banff, Jasper), and return the car and fly back to NY from Calgary. I know it's a bit of a drive to get all the way up there but we like driving!
The problem is when I searched for rental cars (on hotwire.com etc) the prices they quote for a one-way between Jackson and Calgary are400 per *day* for the smallest car... I was hoping someone could perhaps offer advice on reasonable alternatives to get from Jackson to Banff… is the only way really to fly?
We will be exploring the Banff and Jasper NP area for 8 days, from June 26 through July 3. We are hoping to tent/car camp each night and are wondering how crowded the campgrounds are during this time.
We really prefer to travel with as open an itinerary as possible and so we would like to avoid making any reservations. Is this possible?
We are not picky and are willing to stay at the less scenic/popular/serviced camgrounds if needed. Our concern is mainly that we'll end up either wasting far too many hours driving around trying to find an open camp site each day, or we'll get skunked and end up having to fork over alot of money for an expensive hotel room.
We do know that showing up early before check-out time is the best strategy. Just looking for a little persepective from someone who's actually been there camping during this time.
oh- also just relized we booked during Canada Day! How much does this affect the campgrounds in the area?
Anyone can ask a
travel question.
Destination experts (like you!) provide amazing answers.
Readers "like" answers, and the best float to the top.

Google Releases New Magazine Reader App for Chrome
This looks to be little more than another PDF-type viewer similar in function to Zinio only without much in the way of features. It seems to be about as capable as the Google Play magazines Android app and I have to wonder why anyone would want to use it.
This isn't just me not getting it; there actually are other apps which do a better job.
I might avoid magazines because they don't offer enough information packed into small enough containers, but that doesn't mean I don't understand them. Their goal is to entertain more than inform, Every little detail from the page layout to the size and placement of photos and even the behavior of the app needs to support that goal.
This goal of entertainment is why so many comics apps have a directed viewing mode now, and it is also why some magazine apps (B&N's, for example) add subtle tricks like a faux page turn. They are intended to add to the enjoyment of the reading experience.
The reading experience with Google's Magazine app is at best utilitarian in comparison. Maybe they will improve it over time, but right now there are better options.

Pop-up restaurants and gourmet food trucks have become ubiquitous in many American cities, drawing in customers who follow trends, enjoy food, and don't mind waiting outside in extreme temperatures for schnitzel, grilled cheese, or fancy slushies (and actually might tweet about the whole experience to all their followers). So it's no wonder cookbook authors and publishers are using pop-ups and food trucks to promote their books, either by actively selling the books via those venues, or in more subtle ways.
Publishers have opened pop-up shops, which stay open for a limited amount of time in other businesses' locations, in the past; one a memorable food truck/book tie-in took place in 2009 for This Is Why You're Fat by Jessica Amason and Richard Blakely (Harper Paperbacks). But the combination of books and pop-ups or food trucks has become even more popular this year. Dorie Greenspan wrapped up her second pop-up bakery, Cookie Bar, in February. The author of Baking (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2006) and Around My French Table (HMH, 2010) sold cookies in a high-end hair salon on New York's Upper East Side.And a week ago in New York, Martha Stewart opened a pop-up shop selling pies and tarts from her new book, Martha Stewart's New Pies and Tarts (Clarkson Potter). The shop, which was open March 26 and 27 at Little Owl the Venue in Greenwich Village, sold four-inch mini pies. Customers who bought the $27 book got a free tart and entry to an hourly raffle, which featured such prizes as tickets to The Martha Stewart Show and gift baskets filled with Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's products to make a perfect pie. Sarah Gormley, svp of communications and marketing at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, said, "The reaction was overwhelmingly positive: we had a line around the block when we opened and people absolutely loved our mini pies (they were flying off the trays) and tasting the recipes from the new book (which were also flying off the shelves)."
More cookbook-related pop-ups are coming: Matt Lee and Ted Lee, who are together known as The Lee Bros. and cowrote The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook (Norton, 2006) and The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern (Clarkson Potter, 2009), are planning to open a pop-up in Manhattan at the Inn at Irving Place near Union Square in October. Matt Lee said, "It's really not something we're seeking to tie directly to a particular book, but more a move to scratch an itch" (he said he and his brother have dreamed about opening a restaurant but have "worked closely enough with [their] restaurateur uncle over the years to know it's too hard!"). Still, the Lees have more books on the horizon, including Charleston Kitchen and a memoir. Other cookbook authors are using pop-ups as a testing ground, such as Jeremy Fox, who is writing a cookbook for Phaidon tenatively titled Seed to Stalk: A Modern Culinary Handbook and is hosting a series of pop-up dinners in the Bay Area to test recipes for his book.
A close relative of the pop-up is the food truck, which often parks in a different location every day and alerts fans to its locale via Twitter. Debbie Supnik, a TV food producer who produced a one-hour special on food trucks across the country that aired on the Cooking Channel last fall, said food trucks "cater to a younger demographic" that is often open to trying new things. Supnik said using food trucks to promote cookbooks "is a fabulous marketing idea. It's a lower-cost way to get into a business that normally would be prohibitive."Last month, Hyperion and Food Network Magazine partnered with SweeteryNYC, "New York's premiere mobile bakeshop," which has also worked with brands from Capitol One to MTV. This promotion was for Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals, just out from Hyperion and was based on the book's easy dessert recipes. Wrapped with images of the book jacket, the truck stopped to give out samples at three Manhattan locations on March 1. Although the truck did not sell the cookbook, the book debuted on the New York Times's April 3 Advice/How-To list at #6.
More obvious but no less ambitious is the national tour planned for Food Trucks by Heather Shouse, which Ten Speed will publish April 19. Each of the book's event will involve food trucks or carts featured in the book. Highlights include an April 23 event at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market (with books provided by Book Passage in Corte Madeira) that will sell food from a truck called Roli Roti; an April 27 event at The Strand in New York that will sell food from NYC Cravings and Treats Truck; and a May 7 event at Book People in Austin with food from trucks East Side King and The Best Wurst.

I didn't want to jump back into the "health" arena so fast in my blog but I am going to anyway because "it's my blog and I can do what I want" (that sounds like a new generation song for Eric Burdon and the Animals).
Let's see if this has ever happened to you.
Have you ever woke up and the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and you could smell the scent of the early morning dew on the flowers and grass and you roll out of bed and almost fall on the floor because you ache all over and feel 20 years older than you really are?
Or how about the same scenario but you bounce out of bed, grab a cup of coffee, sing in the shower and feel like a million bucks ready to conquer the day?
Strangely enough, the experience of being in your 50's can be a daily roller coaster of different adventures : you feel good or every joint in your body is sore, you are happy or you are overwhelmed and stressed, you feel life is great or you ask yourself "do I really have to face the world again."
But overall, how is your real state of mind? Do you wake up most of the time feeling good and in a good frame of mind? Is your life full of excitement, adventure and fun?
I am happy and invigorated and ready to experience more of what this world has to offer.
Physically, I feel great (Ya' sure a few joints creak and are a little stiff but what the heck) and mentally I have a strong sense of urgency to get something accomplished.
In general, I am excited about life.
I asked myself why and I think its because I feel so strong physically and mentally. I actually look forward to being completely exhausted and physically drained at the end of a day.
So curiosity got the best of me and I decide to see how many people felt this way and if it was normal to "not act your age."
Again, don't shoot me but I found this test (and supporting results and recommendations) on the Dr. Oz website.
You can link to it there or directly at www.realage.com.
What's the RealAge test?
It's a unique calculation of your body's health age.
In other words it tells you how young or old your body thinks you really are.
The test was created by top doctors, including Dr. Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, and is powered by the latest medical research.
It has been created in response to a "perfect storm" of scientific coincidences.
In the last 2 or 3 years, a group of big, long studies wrapped up one after the other, which changed much of our knowledge about what makes you grow old too fast -- and what makes you stay young longer.
I highly recommend that you spend the time to seriously complete this test.
If you find you are younger than your chronological age (which I am but I could be better) then use this information to fine tune what ails you and give yourself a pat on the back for being a healthy, responsible human being.
Take the test !!!
It's easy to tell them about it.
Forward it on to them or just email them my blog link at www.survive55.com.
The more Baby Boomers we can help; the better place we make this world !!!

Here is a collection of tools for genealogists with an interest in Patience's family history.
Ancestor List for Patience Beckwith
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Descendant List
This shows up to five generations of children and grandchildren of Patience along with their spouses.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Patience's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Patience gets her mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Patience's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants page shows exactly who has inherited Patience's testable DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Patience's tree. This is still fairly complex but it's getting simpler every day.
Dynamic Tree
The dynamic tree expands to include an unlimited number of generations of parents and children. You can zoom in or out and pan around for the perfect view as you browse.
Family Group Sheet
This simple page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's handy when someone had children from more than one marriage.
Family List
This flexible tool enables you to see more ancestors and/or descendants on one page than anywhere else on WikiTree.
Global Family Tree Connection
How many degrees of separation are between Patience and Queen Elizabeth II? This Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder, but it's a fun way to illustrate how closely we're all connected.

Takes extreme heat
Heart-shaped pink fruits are smooth, glossy and nearly flawless.
Early and dependable, with lots of 2" pink fruits on indeterminate but small vines. Beautiful rose-red color, uniform 2"size, and good disease-resistance make this a dependable treat. A winner for farmer's markets, with good looks, mild taste, and creamy texture.
BOTANICAL NAME: Solanum lycopersicum
Start in flats or pots 2 months or so before setting out. Transplant into well-composted soil after danger of frost is past. Set plants several inches deeper than in the pot-they will root along the stem. Greedy feeder-needs ample amounts of compost or decomposed manure. Needs lots of potassium, phosphorous, but not as much nitrogen. Needs calcium to prevent blossom-end rot; use gypsum or bone meal if necessary. Keep soil most in dry weather with periodic, deep watering and mulch.
