Dr Virgil Homer Mohr went to be with the Lord Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the age of 94. He was in congestive heart failure and related age problems. He died at home as he requested with compassionate care from his wife; Cascade Home Health; and Cascade Hospice.
Virgil was born August 31, 1918 in Portland, Ore. to Roy and Hulda Mohr. He had two sisters, Rosalind Rowe Bundy, deceased, and Delores Carr, Hot Springs, Alaska.
He spent his early years in Hays, Kan. and when Virgil was 15, the family moved to Lodi, Calif. During high school he decided he wanted to be a dentist. He took pre-dental classes in college. Virgil served two years in the U.S. Army during World War II and entered University of Oregon Dental School in Portland, Ore. in 1944 and graduated with honors in October 1946.
Virgil was recalled into the service during the Korean War and made Captain in the Air Force.
Virgil opened his dental practice in Medford, Ore. in 1947 and practiced for 40 years.
Virgil married his high school love, Esther Kessler. They had 31 years of marriage before she passed in 1973. In 1980, Virgil married Precious Patino who had been his patient for 17 years. In their 33 years of marriage they traveled to Europe and took several cruises which they both enjoyed very much. They snow-birded for 19 years to Country Roads Resort in Yuma, Ariz. where they enjoyed many fun times and friends.
Virgil retired from dentistry in 1986 and moved to Eugene in 1999 to be closer to family. There he loved to garden and work in his wood shop where he made many wonderful projects. He loved boating at Lake Shasta and Lake of the Woods. He enjoyed many Bible studies and fellowships at Harvest Community Church and Pastor King.
Virgil is survived by his wife, Precious; three children, Diane Mohr Rosen, of Annapolis, Md., Stan Mohr, of Eugene, and Candyce Mohr Snook, of Eugene; and stepson, Richard N. Patino, and wife, Linda, of Yakima, Wash.
At his request there will not be a service. Contributions can be made in his name to Cascade Hospice or Eugene Mission.
The family would like to thank Cascade Home Health Care and Cascade Hospice and are most grateful to the Lord for Virgil's peaceful journey to Heaven.
Virgil lived a very full life.

JKR/WB vs. RDR Books Trial: "Fan Feud", from The New Yorker
May 06, 2008
Tim Wu in an article for The New Yorker looks at the events leading up to the trial, speaks to Steve Vander Ark, and compares J.K. Rowling to the mythical Athena:
"Once upon a time, a talented weaver named Arachne declared herself superior in skill to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who also invented weaving. Whether Arachne was actually better we'll never know, for Athena, in a jealous rage, destroyed her rival's tapestry and turned her into a spider. Last summer, at a "Harry Potter" convention in Toronto, a fan named Steve Vander Ark made a similar mistake when he dared to compare himself to Joanne (J. K.) Rowling."
Wu describes what led Vander Ark to create the Lexicon website, and notes that Vander Ark has suffered "cruel fates" as a result of the lawsuit:
"In the late nineties, while working as a children's librarian in Byron Center, Michigan (pop. 3,777), he discovered the "Potter" series. He began to take notes and, by his own estimate, has read each of the books forty or fifty times. "Something about these detailed imaginative worlds just captivated me' he said during a court recess.
In 2000, Vander Ark, who considers himself a Ravenclaw, turned his obsessive notes into a Web site, The Harry Potter Lexicon. Soon, he was a celebrity in the "Potter" community. But when he decided to turn his Web site into a book Rowling sued his publisher, effectively exiling him from the wizard community."
Wu also notes Leaky webmistress Melissa Anelli's presence in the court room:
Anelli is writing her own "Potter" book, with Rowling's blessing, and during a break in the trial Rowling sought her out and gave her a warm embrace, a moment that might have been as difficult for Vander Ark as any part of the legal proceedings.
"Melissa has done more to hurt me than Rowling' Vander Ark said during a recess. "I can't blame her for liking her status." After all, he said, Rowling "is God and Melissa is her prophet." He went on, "I am an outcast now. But I still consider myself a ˜Harry Potter' fan."
Editor's Note: In the above-mentioned article, Mr. Wu attributed several statements made during a recent PotterCast (number 148) to Melissa Anelli ("He is vilified now", "He has ruined his good standing."). These remarks were instead made by Leaky Editor Sue Upton, who was commenting on the impact the decision to publish the book has made upon Vander Ark's reputation.

IMPORTANT! If you are not of legal age to form a binding contract (in many places, this is 18 years old), then you must get your parent or guardian to read these terms and agree to them for you, before you use Edmodo or provide any information to us. Please review this agreement with your parent or guardian so that you both understand how Edmodo works and what restrictions apply to your use of our websites and services. Remember, always get an adult's permission before going online.
Thanks for using Edmodo! We're glad you're here, but there are some rules you need to agree to before you use our websites and services ("Services"). When we use the word "Services," we mean not only the edmodo.com website, but also all the other websites, products, services and applications made available by Edmodo (for example, the Edmodo Android app available via the Android Marketplace, and the Edmodo iPhone and iPad apps available at the Apple App Store). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or the Services, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, (650) 513-2735, or 1200 Park Place, Suite 400, San Mateo, CA 94403.
Yep - you've done your homework! These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and Edmodo, Inc. ("Edmodo," and sometimes, when we're feeling especially friendly, "we" and "us"). You must agree and accept all of the Terms, or you don't have the right to use the Services. Your using the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services.
These Terms include the provisions in this document, and in the Edmodo Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, DMCA Takedown Policy, Edmodo Store Policies, and Apple Application Terms (don't worry - each of those is explained in more detail below).
Our Services are constantly changing, to keep up with the dynamic needs of learners everywhere - so, these Terms might need to change, too. If they do change, we will do our best to tell you in advance by placing a notification on the edmodo.com website, or we might send you an email. In certain situations (for example, where a change to the Terms is necessary to comply with legal requirements), we may not be able to give you advance notice. Changes to the Privacy Policy will be provided in advance, as described here.
If you don't like the new Terms, you are free to reject them - unfortunately, that means you won't be able to use the Services anymore. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, then please remember that means you agree to all of the Terms.
Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.
Edmodo takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the entire current Edmodo Privacy Policy, please click here, but we've included some information below related to the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA"), because we get a lot of questions about that:
COPPA requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. Therefore, we only collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 where that student's school, district, and/or teacher has agreed (via the terms described in the following paragraph) to obtain parental consent for that child to use the Services and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Services. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Services. You are responsible for understanding how any Publisher Software (defined and described below) that you install on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of Edmodo's Services. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy; you can find a sample permission slip here. You must keep all consents on file and provide them to us if we request them. For more information on COPPA, please click here. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Services as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.
First, you have to sign up for an account, and select a password and user name ("Edmodo User ID"). Also, if you are a school or district, you may be permitted to register a school or district "subdomain" within Edmodo.com (an "Edmodo Subdomain"). You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You can't select for your Edmodo User ID a name that you don't have the rights to use or another person's name with the intent to impersonate that person, nor can you select an Edmodo Subdomain name that you don't have the right to use. In certain situations, your Edmodo User ID may be selected for you by your school or district; the same rules apply to them when they select an Edmodo User ID for you. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.
If you are a school, district, or teacher, Edmodo will generate an access code for you to use with each limited access group you administer (an "Access Code"). For example, if you wished to establish a closed group amongst yourself, as a teacher, and your 5th grade class, you would distribute the Access Code only to those members of your 5th grade class that you wanted to view what was going on within that group. Everyone to whom a group administrator distributes the Access Code to will be a member of that "Limited Access Group."
You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you've received your parent's or guardian's permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf, as we described earlier). If you're agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity (for example, if you're an administrator agreeing to these Terms on behalf of your district), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity's behalf and bind them to these Terms.
You promise to only use the Services for your personal, internal, non-commercial, educational use, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren't authorized to use the Services. We can't and won't be responsible for you using the Services in a way that breaks the law.
Also, your use of the Services is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which outlines what you can and can't do with and on the Services. Read the Acceptable Use Policy carefully, and please be a good digital citizen at all times - we are all in this together! For more on digital citizenship, please click here. A violation of the Acceptable Use Policy will be grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.
The materials displayed or performed on the Services (including, but not limited to, text, graphics, articles, photos, images, illustrations, User Submissions (defined below), and so forth) (the "Content") are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won't use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else's (including Edmodo's) rights. For example, if someone shares a really creative lesson plan with you on Edmodo, that doesn't mean you can print it out and start distributing it to other people - unless the owner specifically told you in writing that you could.
You understand that Edmodo owns the Services. You won't modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), creative derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services.
The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists, doesn't mean that all the restrictions above don't apply.
Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your "User Submission." Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information.
For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Edmodo a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on your iPhone as well as your computer) and reproduce such User Submission, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. This is a license only - your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.
If you store a User Submission in your own personal Edmodo account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a "Personal User Submission"), you grant Edmodo the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of displaying that Personal User Submission to you and providing you the Services necessary to do so.
If you share a User Submission only within a Limited Access Group, or otherwise in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a private message to one or more other users) (each, a "Limited Access User Submission"), then you grant Edmodo the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Access User Submission for the sole purpose of displaying that Limited Access User Submission to other members of that Limited Access Group (or to such specified users, as applicable) and providing you the Services necessary to do so. Also, you grant the other members of that Limited Access Group (or such specified users, as applicable) a license to access that Limited Access User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services. For example, if you share a worksheet (that can be completed through the Services) with students in your Limited Access Group, you grant your students the rights necessary to view that worksheet and fill it out, and return it to you.
If you share a User Submission in a public "community" or "topic" on the Services or in a manner that more than just you or your Limited Access Group can view (a "Public User Submission"), then you grant Edmodo the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of displaying that Public User Submission to all Edmodo users and providing you the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with Edmodo, provided that Edmodo will try to notify you if it uses your Public User Submission for any reason other than displaying it on the Services. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, irrevocable, and worldwide, for as long as your User Submissions are stored with us. When you delete your Edmodo account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that content from Edmodo's records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
Finally, you understand and agree that Edmodo, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media.
You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), as it relates to online service providers like Edmodo removing material that they believe in good faith violates someone's copyright. To learn more about DMCA, click here. Edmodo's DMCA Takedown Policy is here.
Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren't liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. The Services may contain, or direct you to websites containing, information you may find offensive or inappropriate; we can't control that, but please let us know if it happens and we'll try to remedy the situation.
We also can't guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services. But that doesn't mean we don't take security seriously; students are only permitted to access the Services within their Limited Access Groups, we require teachers, schools, and districts guard their Access Codes with the appropriate confidentiality, as described in the Acceptable Use Policy, we enable teachers with moderation tools for monitoring content within Limited Access Groups, and student accounts are not enabled to "browse" groups to join (a student is only permitted to view and join a group he or she has been given an Access Code to).
You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Services.
The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned, operated, or controlled by Edmodo. When you access third party websites or use third party services (including, without limitation, your use of Publisher Software, defined below), you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Edmodo is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.
Edmodo has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, Edmodo will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service (including without limitation the Publisher Software). By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.
Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties (including without limitation Publishers). You agree that Edmodo shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.
If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, you agree that Edmodo is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release Edmodo, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Edmodo is a dynamic learning tool, so the Services will change over time. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We'll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn't always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), or without any reason, and without notice.
The basic Edmodo Services are free and always will be - that is, we don't charge for signing up for a basic, individual Edmodo account, or for a basic school or district subdomain. However, we may offer certain premium products and services for a fee, including software available through the Edmodo Store. This does not mean that if you're currently using one of the basic accounts described above, that we'll "reclassify" it as premium account in the future and start charging you to use it.
Don't mind if we do. Depending on the type of user account you have registered for, you may be able to download or use software from third party publishers ("Publisher Software") via the Edmodo Store (the "Store"), which can be incorporated into your Edmodo experience. Please click here for the Edmodo Store Policies. Student accounts are not permitted or enabled to download Publisher Software without their teacher's authorization.
Though you can download and access the Publisher Software through the Services, please note that the Publisher Software is being provided by a third party (a "Publisher") and not by Edmodo, so we don't have any control over or responsibility for the Publisher Software. In addition to these Terms with respect to Publisher Software, your download or use of Publisher Software is governed by the terms of any agreement between you and the applicable Publisher offering such Publisher Software. Edmodo prohibits Publishers from collecting or using any information beyond what Edmodo itself collects and uses pursuant to its Privacy Policy, but this does not mean we are responsible for reviewing or verifying the accuracy of any Publisher's data collection or use policies. Each Publisher also has its own data collection and use policies (separate from Edmodo's own Privacy Policy), so please review those carefully as well before you opt to download or use any Publisher Software.
If you are interested in becoming a Publisher, please click here to learn more about offering your software on the Services. Publishers are subject to the Edmodo Publisher Agreement; the terms of the Publisher Agreement supplement (rather than replace) the terms set forth in these Terms. If there is any conflict between the Publisher Agreement and these Terms, the Publisher Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter of the Publisher Agreement. If you are a Publisher, you may be permitted to create a "Publisher Page," where you may post content about yourself and your software; you agree that any content you post to your Publisher Page will be considered a Public User Submission.
You're free to do that at any time by following the directions here; please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.
Edmodo is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason, including your breach of these Terms. Edmodo has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important documents you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, or would not be in the interest of someone's safety or security to do so.
If you have deleted your account by mistake, contact us immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com - we will try to help, but unfortunately, we can't promise that we can recover or restore anything.
Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.
These Terms apply to your use of all the Services, including the iPhone and iPad applications available via the Apple, Inc. ("Apple") App Store (the "Application"), but additional terms also apply to the Application, which you can see here.
You're absolutely right. Don't space out, this stuff is important:
Edmodo does not make any representations or warranties concerning any content contained in or accessing through the Services, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Services. We make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products (including Publisher Software) offered or purchased through the Services. Products and services purchased or offered (whether or not following such recommendations and suggestions) through the Services are provided "AS IS" and without any warranty of any kind from Edmodo or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific product). THE SERVICES, CONTENT, WEBSITE, AND ANY SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. (We're not yelling, we just want to make sure you pay attention!)
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL EDMODO BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO EDMODO IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (III) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. (Again, not yelling!)
You agree to indemnify and hold Edmodo, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, contractors, and partners harmless for and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action ("Claim"), we will provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Edmodo's prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled in San Francisco County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Northern District of California.
You will be responsible for withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Edmodo agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Edmodo, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications, and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and that all modifications to these Terms must be in a writing signed by both parties (except as otherwise provided herein). No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Edmodo in any respect whatsoever. Except as expressly set forth in the Apple Application Terms, you and Edmodo agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under this Agreement.

VASHON ISLAND, Wash. — Hauling a truckload of hay for two miles costs only a few cents. But if those two miles are aboard a ferry, it can run $50 or $100 or more.
Livestock owners who live on an island in Washington's Puget Sound have to figure that into the cost of operation.
Vashon Island, for instance, which is in the same county as Seattle, is accessible only by boat. Most farms on the island's 37 square miles are small, producing vegetables, eggs and milk.
"What hay you can grow here is poor quality," said Gary Headley, co-owner of VI Horse Supply. For 16 years he has sold feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, chickens, turkeys and pigs. The island of 10,000 people also has about 1,800 horses.
Headley pays $21.50 a bale for timothy, about what retail customers pay in Ellensburg, which is in rich timothy country 120 miles across the Cascade Range. Once he has driven and ferried that hay onto the island, he sells it for $28 or $29 a bale.
"People here love their animals," Headley said. "They'll pay the extra cost." He has grown from selling 1.5 tons of grain every month to 3 to 5 tons a week.
On the same island, George Page specializes in grass-fed animals at his Sea Breeze Farm.
"We grow good-quality grass and graze year-round, rotating our stock to different parts of the island," he said. "The hardest part is in the summer because there's no irrigation."
He imports hay for his cows, sheep, pigs and poultry then, and again in the winter.
"We are totally dependent on ferries," Tom Schultz, who for the past 20 years has been director of Washington State University Extension in San Juan County, said. "As a matter of fact the Extension office is gatekeeper for priority loading for commercial livestock and 4-H livestock on the ferries. There's a WAC (Washington Administrative Code) that allows that priority."
Livestock accounts for more than half the county's main farmgate industry, Schultz said. About 15,000 people live in San Juan County, most on the largest four of more than 400 islands and rocks above mean high tide. They share their 208 square miles with cattle, horses, sheep, goats and pigs.
"Most of the animals are fed with local pasture grass and hay," Schultz said. "And most farmers are growing their own. Some farms produce more, and they sell to smaller owners.
"Of course horse people want timothy, and we can't grow it here."
A feed dealer buys both local feed and gets shipments on a small scale. Supplemental feed comes from the mainland. Pastured poultry farmers are all organic, he said, and they team up to truck in their organic feed.
A USDA mobile slaughter unit comes to the islands on a regular schedule. Island Grown Farmers Cooperative then takes the meat to a cut-and-wrap facility in Skagit County, and farmers make their own deliveries.
San Juan Island also has custom slaughter available.

Huskers Welcome Fans to Intrasquad Meet
Lincoln, Neb. - The Nebraska women's gymnastics team will host an intrasquad meet on Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. in preparation for the 2013 season. The event will take place at Mabel Lee Hall and is free and open to the public.
Nebraska will perform routines on every event in Olympic order, beginning with vault and proceeding to uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Free team schedule cards will be available to fans in attendance, and the Huskers will sign autographs following the meet.
The Huskers welcome back seven letterwinners in 2013--including six All-Americans--from last season's Big Ten Championship squad. 2012 first-team All-Americans Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong will lead the way for NU alongside previous All-Americans Kassandra Nathe, Jamie Schleppenbach and Brittany Skinner. Returners Kailyn Hawkins, Amanda Lauer, Jennifer Lauer and Desiré Stephens will add talent and depth to the Huskers' roster this season.
The Big Red will also welcome four true freshmen to their squad this season, including 2011 Junior Olympic national all-around champion Hollie Blanske of Anoka, Minn. Blanske will be joined by versatile and talented Overland Park, Kan., native Jordyn Beck; a powerful vault and floor performer from Chicago, Ill., in Ariel Martin; and Lincoln native and three-time Junior Olympic national qualifier Madison McConkey.
Nebraska will open their 2013 schedule on Saturday, Jan. 12 in Ann Arbor, Mich., against the Michigan Wolverines. The Huskers will host regular-season home meets against Michigan State (Jan. 19), Illinois (Feb. 1), Penn State (Feb. 10) and Iowa (March 4).

I went to a cookout for my High School (Duke Ellington School of the Arts) over the weekend and decided to do a fun summer look. Now that I look at the pictures, I feel like I was a cheerleader for the Miami Heat..LOL! The pink bronze looks pretty orange in the pics. Anyhoo....I had fun playing in make up. I don't do it as much these days with two little ones that don't allow me to do anything that takes longer than three minutes. Therefore, showers are now the highlight of my day, or shall I say night. Soooo, here's how it turned out :-)
P.S. - Sorry I didn't do a step by step tutorial of how I achieved the look. I didn't have time as I explained above. I was racing against the clock.

About a year ago the Florida Department of Citrus sponsored a "Back to the Grove Recipe Contest." The only requirement was that the recipe use a cup of Florida orange juice. How hard could that be? I, and lots of other amateur recipe developers, decided to go for the Florida gold. I worked diligently on a recipe that I hoped would take the prize. That, alas, was not the case, but I was so intrigued by the recipe that did win that I decided to make it. To my surprise, my husband, who is not a fan of couscous, liked the dish. The couscous had the added advantage of being table ready in ten minutes. This is a boon for busy cooks and it's a great accompaniment for plain grilled meat or poultry. It's also fancy enough to serve to guests. This is simple to do, inexpensive to make and a treat for tired palates. If you like couscous give this a try.
Orange Couscous with Cinnamon Vinaigrette
1 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup couscous
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts or almonds
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and tender green)
1) Place orange juice and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir in couscous. Remove pan from heat. Cover; let stand for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
2) Meanwhile, place olive oil, vinegar and cinnamon in a jar with a lid. Cover and shake until emulsified. Set aside.
3) Add raisins, nuts and scallions to couscous. Add vinaigrette and stir gently until combined. Pack into molds if desired. Serve at room temperature. Yield: 4 servings.

Creating Heat and Light
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2005 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2005
A Canadian program tests the efficiency and future potential of residential combined heat and power systems at its residential building test center.
Combined heat and power systems (CHP), which jointly produce heat and electricity from a single fuel source, can be up to 90% efficient, compared with conventional U.S. power production, which converts only 35% of fuel energy into delivered electricity. The rest of the fuel energy is normally lost in the form of heat. By using this heat to produce space heat and hot water,CHPs can decrease energy costs and increase fuel use efficiency. Currently, CHP units in the United States are used almost exclusively for commercial and industrial buildings.However, there is tremendous potential for using this technology in residences as well. Recently, the Department of Energy (DOE) assembled a team of appliance industry leaders to develop a CHP system to provide more reliable and less costly energy for residential use. Projects like this show that residential CHP systems are a likely reality in the future of home heating and power. Advancing the Home CHP Cause CHP isn't just a future reality—residential systems already exist. One such system for individual residences was recently tested through a joint effort ...

Calibre Disc Brake Pads - DB1142CALPLU 402535
- From the makers of Bendix
- Minimal dust
- Noise reducing shims
- Responsive pedal feel
- "Friction Track" technology for faster bedding in
- Excellent braking performance
- Friction compounds to perfect suit each vehicle
- Suitable for various models of Honda Civic & Legend, Rover 620 & 623 - Rear
- See Parts Guide for detailed applications
Is this product for you?
Calibre brake pads have evolved, using the latest in braking technology!
At the forefront of the new design is "FRICTION TRACK†technology. Typically, a brand new set of brake pads can take up to 30 stops before full braking performance is reached. The "FRICTION TRACK†technology which was developed by Bendix engineers is a bright red high friction stripe across the surface of the brake pad. This helps the pad deliver optimum performance while bedding in.
Friction compounds for Calibre brake pads have been formulated to reach a delicate balance keeping brake dust to a minimum, while still delivering excellent braking performance. Far from a one size fits all approach, the friction compound for each part number has been designed to perfectly suit each vehicle.
Keeping your brakes performing quietly are the noise reducing shims which are situated on the back of each Calibre brake pad. These help to prevent the tiny vibrations and noise which are usually the cause of brake squeal by dampening sound during braking.
Brake Replacement Tips.
1. Ensure no strain is places on the brake hose during the replacement procedure.
2. Use a caliper spreader tool to G-Clamp to push the piston into the caliper bore.
3. For best results machine the brake disc surface when replacing brake pads.
4. Clean all braking surfaces with Brake Cleaner.
5. Most manufactures recommend brake fluid be replaced every 2 years.
Bedding In Procedures.
Calibre brake pads feature a unique and innovative "FRICTION TRACK†that assists with the bedding in procedure. The Friction track does not replace the bedding in procedure which must be followed as per the following steps.
1. Accelerate the vehicle to 60km/h.
2. Using light to moderate pedal effort, reduce speed to 10km/h.
3. Repeat 1 & 2 at least 10 times allowing 400m between cycles.
Do not make repeated brake applications in quick successions or drive with brakes continuously applied during bed in as this may lead to overheating causing loss of braking efficiency, poor pedal feel and possible noise.

Orchestral and Choral works > Orchestral works
Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Concerto op. 61a after the Violin Concerto op. 61
Editor: Hans-Werner Küthen
13.50 €
Urtext Edition, Study score, paperbound
Pages: 115 (XIV, 101), Size 23,5 x 31,0 cm
Order no. HN 9815 · ISMN 979-0-2018-9815-5
Very few musicians are aware of the fact that Beethoven arranged his violin concerto also as a piano concerto. It is only recently that some pianists have discovered this truly rewarding work. Clementi, the London composer and publisher, had heard about the première of the violin concerto and probably sensed its potential. He asked Beethoven for a piano version, which was actually also published in 1808, at the same time as the original. Several important cadenzas had been especially composed for it; the one for the first movement is accompanied by the timpani – a unique and original touch! Our edition (piano reduction and study score) contains the text from the recently published volume in the Complete Edition of Beethoven's Works.
The score is of Henle's usual high quality, supported by meticulous notes and background information. The study score is a little over A5 size, ie larger than the usual miniature score, and therefore perfectly possible to play from, and contains the full orchestral score.

Waynesville man charged in connection with cattle theft
Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with stealing cattle from the Salem Livestock Auction in Dent County last week.
Manu Te'o, 25, of Waynesville, and Eric O'Connell, 30, of Iberia, were charged with seven felonies and are currently being held at the Dent County Jail in lieu of a $50,000 cash-only bond.
The two men were arrested Friday by the Dent County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol. The Dent County sheriff's office expressed their appreciation for the two agencies for their assistance in the investigation.
According to Missouri case.net, the charges against Te'o and O'Connell include one count each of conspiracy burglary in the second degree and six counts each of conspiracy theft/stealing of property valued at $500 or more but less than $25,000. Both all Class D felonies.
The thefts occurred on Wednesday, March 27, between 12:30 and 1:30 a.m. Surveillance video caught the two suspects retrieving cattle from back lots, herding them into a shoot and loading them into a 53-foot-long tractor trailer.
Court date for the two subjects is set for this Thursday, April 4, at 9 a.m.

Berry and custard cake
This is a perfect cake to make right now when the summer berries are abundant and of beautiful quality. I used English raspberries and blackberries but you could use any mix of berries that take your fancy. Nothing says summer like a colander full of berries!
Once the cake batter is in the tin you sit the berries on top:
Then cover the berries with custard:
The custard is incredibly easy to make and as it is made with soured cream rather than the more usual double cream it has a very slight tart edge that compliments the berries perfectly. If you normally find custard too sweet then give this a go.
Whilst cooking the cake encases the custard and this is what it looks like once baked; I love the way you can see the berries just waiting to burst free from the squidgy sides of the cake:
I knew the cake would taste delicious but thought it needed something to make it look pretty. The recipe recommended serving it with whipped cream and more berries so I though why not put these on top of the cake?
The berries clearly thought this was a good decision as they are positively glowing with happiness!
This is the sort of cake where everybody wants a second slice. Can you blame them?
Cream, custard, berries and sponge. The perfect summer cake. Enjoy!
If some of the measurements in the recipe look strangely precise it is because I converted it from a US recipe in cups.
Finally I got to use my new cake tin this week – I like things that go beyond being merely useful and are also beautiful. I ordered mine from Amazon.
For the cake:
125g (1 cup) plain flour
112g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
1 egg
100g (7 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
300g (3 cups) mixed berries (I used raspberries and blackberries)
For the custard topping:
475ml (2 cups) soured cream
112g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
1 ½ tablespoons custard powder
2 egg yolks
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional decoration: whipped cream and raspberries
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease and line a 23cm springform cake tin.
- Mix together all the cake ingredients, except the berries, until you have well combined and smooth batter.
- Spoon into the cake tin and level.
- Place the berries evenly over the surface of the cake batter and put the tin to one side.
- Now make the custard topping. Place all the ingredients into a bowl and beat until you have a nice yellow runny custard.
- Pour the custard gently over the berries so as not to disturb them.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until the custard is well set. Mine took 60 minutes. Don't worry if the cake creeps up over the custard whilst baking – it gives a rather nice 'enclosed' look, as if the sponge base is a bowl for the custard.
- Leave to cool in the tin, on a wire rack. The cake will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator.
- Serve with whipped cream and berries, if desired; you can either pipe it on top of the cake and place the berries on top or serve separately in bowls.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

This looks like the perfect dessert for my knitting group this week. One big question though: Custard Powder? Can you tell me more about this ingredient, and do you happen to know if it would be available in the US? Thanks CC.
- 30 June 2008 at 15:09
- The Caked Crusader said...
Hi Nancy
I've just googled "is custard powder available in the US" and it seems that it is. The first couple of hits were for online ex-pat shops i.e. to keep Brits in the US stocked with their much loved products. If you want to see a picture of the item use this link:
To find out more, and see if it prompts you to realise what the US equivalent is try this wikipedia link:
Hope this helps!

What is caster sugar and can I use tapioca for the custard powder? Where do you purchase these items? This recipe looks like a vintage recipe my Grandmother use to make. I have been looking all over for it ;>)
- 7 July 2008 at 19:14
- The Caked Crusader said...
Hi Susie
Caster sugar is the white sugar we use in the UK. I'm not sure where you are in the world but any white sugar (such as granulated sugar) would be fine. Avoid anything too fine like icing (confectioner's) sugar.
As for a custard powder substitute I can't think of one. Custard powder is availble on line - if you're in the US it's available on some ex-pat Brit websites.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Hi Susie
I've been chatting with my Canadian friend about a possible substitute for custard powder - she wonders whether jello pudding mix might work. In the recipe the custard powder is to flavour and firm up the cream when baked. Perhaps an equal amount of jello pudding powder might do the same thing? Can't guarantee it, as have never heard of jello pudding.
This is what my friend thought might work:
Hope this helps!

Hello there..thank you for answering me so quickly :>) I am in the U.S. As far as Jello pudding goes, it would only firm up when cooled. I am unsure how it would work to bake with it. I do know that I have made a crockpot cake using it and it made it very moist. I will do search on custard powder and see what I can find about it. Do you know it's main ingredient? Is it starch? Thank you bunches!

Hi Susie
I just googled Bird's Custard Powder and found that it contains the following ingredients: Cornflour, Salt ,flavorings, Colour (Annatto). Contains no artificial colours.
So maybe you could just use cornflower and some vanilla extract?

Here is some information that I found. It seems you can use pudding mix. I am going to give it a try.. If I was not suppose to post this kind of information please delete it...I am sorry in advance. I thought someone else might benefit from this.
Custard Powder
Custard Powder is not actually custard which has been dried into a powder. It's mostly a starch that has been coloured yellow, sweetened and flavoured so that when hot milk is added the starch will make not only thicken the liquid, as a starch is bound to do anyway, but to give it the right colour, taste, and aroma for a custard-like sauce.
There are several name brands of Custard Powder, and many stores sell their own brands as well. When you mention Custard Powder, though, it's probably very hard for someone not to picture the red, yellow and blue cardboard tins that say "Bird's" on them.
Bird's Custard Powder is based on corn starch. The starches that other Custard Powder brands use include tapioca or sago starch. A Bird's tin lists as its ingredients the following: cornstarch (aka cornflour in the UK), milk solids, glucose solids, vegetable fat, sugar, flavours, salt, potassium phosphate, emulsifier, free-flowing agent, colorants including Tartrazine, and acidifying agent. Some say the version of Bird's made in North America doesn't taste as good as the version made in Britain.
Whatever the brand of Custard Powder, though, the ingredients are very similar to a North American Vanilla Pudding Mix.
Bird's also makes now an Instant Custard Powder which doesn't require milk at all. You just add boiling water in a measuring cup or jug, stir, and serve. The Instant is mostly available in the UK, and quite rare still in North America.
Cooking Tips
You stir the Custard Powder into boiling milk, and add sugar. For thicker custards, use a full-fat milk, condensed milk, or a thinner milk with some instant powdered milk stirred in. The containers will give you exact proportions to use. If it turns out too thin on you, you can always add cornstarch (mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a teaspoon of cold milk before adding).
Because Custard Powder has no eggs in it, there is no danger of it curdling on you as real custard can.
Vanilla Pudding Mix
Custard Powder was invented by Alfred Bird in Birmingham, England in 1837 for his wife who couldn't eat eggs. He began marketing it across the UK in 1844. In 1947, Bird's became part of General Foods. By 1988, through various mergers and acquisitions, it had become part of the Kraft line until the fall of 2004, when it was sold to the company called "Premier Foods".
Instant Custard Powder was launched in 1979.
Literature & Lore
Custard Powder dust is actually explosive (as is flour and sugar dust). The dust has to first form a dust cloud, which if ignited in a confined space will explode. The organic particles in such dust clouds combust almost instantly, releasing carbon dioxide and steam in an explosion.

I forgot my camera at home hence I was unable to post at my usual time, LOL. I also got a little haircut since my hair was so long it was driving me nuts, well more like a trim since it doesn't look any different to me other than the fact that my hair feels a lot lighter which I love! Anyway, I bought this product about 2 months ago but forgot to write a review on it so I thought id write one now before I forget again!
Product: 2 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Overall: 2 out of 5
Price: $10 (price varies depending on store)
Where to get it: Many drugstores have it
Would I buy it again? No
What they claim: Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew is our 1st anti-puff eye roller that uses a unique combination of skin-nutrients - Ingredient complexes developed exclusively by Garnier to work on skin's outer layer - and a cooling, roll-on applicator to stimulate micro-circulation. Diminishes dark circles. Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller is right for you if you want to gently stimulate micro-circulation around skin's delicate eye area to decongest excess fluid for diminished dark circles and puffiness.
Active Ingredients:
Caffeine - Decongests puffiness & diminishes dark circles
Pro-Vitamin B5 - Refreshes & hydrates the delicate eye area
PROS: It's non-greasy, easy to use, and doesn't take up a lot of space; the packaging is perfect for something like this which is why I gave it a 5 out of 5. It feels good upon application, a nice cooling and cold sensation to the eyes (like a liquid cucumber), has no weird smell. I did notice that it reduced puffiness a bit, not a whole lot, but a tiny bit...I used it morning and night everyday for about a month to two months, and my puffiness has gone down, but circles still there.
CONS: I didn't notice my dark circles disappear (as you can probably tell from my Dior HydrAction post, my circles are still there!) I didn't really notice any significant difference using this product other than it feels nice when you apply it.
Directions for using the roller: Just roll the ball a couple times on your under eye area.
Would I buy again? No, I think it's a waste of money and you can probably spend it on something else that will show better results.

oOhh i kinda thought so!! I guess we're genetics maybe thats why it doesnt reduce the dark circles... since some ppl said it worked for them.... I guess i'll pass on this product! Great Review btw!

- Ilianexy said...
I know what u mean girl! Hate to put money on something that is not effective. Have you tried Hylexin? They say the product is insane! Let me tell you something, in the tinted moisturizer review I noticed everything except dark circles. I noticed after a reader pointed out that you had dark circles, that's when I had to go back and check if it was true, I see some normal shadows there, just like anyone has. So don't stress yourself, as I said your face is so gorgeous that the last think people will notice is any dark circles!

I've never been keen on Garnier, either. I love the smell of their conditioner, but it always makes my hair (which isn't prone to grease) greasy D:
It was a neat product idea though, looked like a rollerball deodorant for your eyes.

i'm so skeptical about a lot of de puffing agents especially if they're drug store type stuff.
i dont know why.
they usually just feel good like u said and don't show much if any result.

I bought this 2 weeks ago and it is such a waste of money..the only thing I did like about it is how cool it felt once I applied it.

I have come to the conclusion that Garnier products are really hit or miss. And for me, I'd have to err on the miss side :/ Thanks for the review sis. No more green containers to congest my bathroom, hah! :D

Ha-ha! I only paid $3 for mine after Rite Aide rebate. I used mine for a month. The roller felt good around my eye because it is so cool to the touch. Didn't do anything for my shadows. I did notice a slight decrease in puffiness. But, for the price, I would grab a tube of PrepH.

Quite a title to live up to right? I know. But trust me on this one? I've made a lot of barks in my life and I tell you this one is the best hands down. It's not just me who claims this. I gave a sample of this to a few people who said the same thing.
Why does it taste so good? I'm certain it's the combo of the peanut butter, honey, butter and chocolate. That alone is a creamy good taste--and you could actually just make that alone and it would be fabulous. But I added in toasted coconut (for texture), salty pretzels (for salt), and pecans (for extra crunch).
I know I've said this before to you, but if you make one bark, this is it.
the best sweet & salty chocolate bark
print recipe
the base:
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1/3 cup + 1 TB local honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
the add ins:
1/2 cup toasted coconut
½ cup salty pretzels, rough chop
½ cup salty pecans (any kind of salty nut)
Cook notes:
You can add in anything you want to this. But keep the add ins to 3-4, as you don't want too many add ins or it won't set up right. I found using a thin pretzel works best than a thick one. I think using potato chips would be fabulous for this. Have all your add ins at the ready; you want to add them in fast when the chocolate base is all melted.
Get all your add ins at the ready and lined up ready to go. If you want uniform bars instead of bark, use an 8 X 8 square pan and really grease it up and line with parchment paper. If you want bark, then line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter, peanut butter and honey in a pot over medium to low heat, stirring constantly.
Add in the chocolate chips and keep stirring—takes a while for everything to incorporate and you want to melt the chocolate slowly (almost like tempering). When all is melted, remove from stove.
Pour in all your add ins, mix well, and immediately transfer to the jelly roll pan or square pan. Using a spatula flatten out bark mixture. Don't spread it too thin! Let cool at room temperature about 2 hours. When bark has set up, use a sharp knife to cut into chunks.

Red Sox - 120 000 001 - 4 6 0 Rays - 010 001 000 - 2 6 0Boston tagged Price (5-5-3-5-5, 106) for three runs within a span of 10 batters in the first two innings and Buchholz and three relievers made that stand up, as the Red Sox completed a 8-1 road trip.
With one out in the first, Dustin Pedroia worked an eight-pitch walk. Adrian Gonzalez doubled to right, Kevin Youkilis was hit in the left shoulder (prompting warnings to both teams) to load the bases, and David Ortiz walked to force in a run.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled off the wall in right-center with one out in the second and scored on Darnell McDonald's single to center. Pedroia followed with an opposite-field double, scoring McDonald and giving the Sox a 3-0 lead. Price threw 63 pitches in the first two innings (33 and 30).
Tampa got a run back when B.J. Upton walked, stole second and scored on Sam Fuld's double. After Buchholz (5-2-1-3-5, 81) departed with tightness in his lower back, Alfredo Aceves allowed a solo shot to Casey Kotchman. Daniel Bard got the final out of the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth.
Gonzalez's solo home run in the ninth - a line drive to right field - gave the Red Sox a two-run cushion. In addition to his double in the first, Evil Bert also walked twice.
In the ninth, Jonathan Papelbon allowed a leadoff double to Kotchman and an infield single to Upton. Kotchman had to stay at second, so Elliot Johnson was sent up to bunt. He popped the first pitch up into foul territory on the left side where Youkilis made a diving catch. Bot then struck out pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano (on three pitches) and Sean Rodriguez (on a full count splitter).
Jed Lowrie may have re-injured his shoulder during his first inning at-bat. He struck out on a 1-2 pitch and was grimacing on his way back to the dugout. Marco Scutaro took the field in the bottom of the first.
The Yankees remain 1.5 GB, but the Rays have slipped to 5.5 GB and the Blue Jays are 7.5 GB.
WEEI has a cool interview with Terry Francona, which was shortly before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.
How different are Game 7s from just any other big playoff game?AL East: Orioles/Blue Jays at 12:30 PM and Rangers/Yankees at 1 PM.
We've had so many elimination games since I've been here that those are obviously every bit as important, because if you don't win those you don't get to Game 7. Speaking truthfully, and I really mean this ... I'm so much more relaxed once we get there and are able to enjoy it.
We've talked about Dave Roberts stealing and it all looked like it was in slow motion and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I never once, for one minute, thought he'd be thrown out. I just really love it. You just work so hard to get there. It's not like I don't care. It's not like I don't get nervous. ...
You can't change how you're built. Sometimes you'd like to. I just really enjoy it. ... [P]art of it's probably because of the faith I have in our players, and we do a lot of preparation, so I get more relaxed. ...
I remember back in '07 when we were in Denver ... when the security guy wouldn't let Pedey in the ballpark - "Hey I'm really a player," and the guy said, "Nah. Show me your ID." And he said something like, "Go ask Jeff Francis who I am." Pedey came in that day, he had a lather going and he was all worked up. I remember thinking, "Boy I don't want this to be over. I mean, I want to win, but I'm not ready to go home."

Series: Protect and Serve
She was from a world ruled by humans. Humans that didn't know about the things that went bump in the night. But she wasn't like the others. She knew what hunted from the shadows, things that made the darkest fairytales and nightmares pale in comparison.
But now, she's in a new world, equally dark and terrifying, embroiled in a great war, but the creatures she was used to avoiding even the sight of, weren't the same in this new world. Nothing was the same in this new world. And she finds that she's changing too. Will she find her way back to her world again, or will she make a new way for herself?
