Put a New Spin on Your Workout
Move over, same old spin classes! Brooke Shields, Chelsea Clinton, Kyra Sedgwick, Kelly Ripa and other celebrities are going wild for the newest take offered at New York City's SoulCycle. How's it different? Instead of blaring repetitive dance music and bright lights, riders work out by candlelight to well-choreographed music. And the routine doesn't just work out your legs and lower torso—SoulCycle classes provide a full-body workout that's fun and energizing.
What if you don't live in New York? No worries! Check out gyms near you for a cycling class with something extra. Just ask, "Do you offer a spin class that works the upper body, too?" The question could change your life!
As a person with diabetes, odds are you're often reminded that exercise can help you shed a few pounds, lower your blood sugar level and allow insulin to work better. But the truth is that even the most dedicated gym rat can get tired of standard workout routines. That's where fresh ideas like the ones from SoulCycle can benefit almost anyone.
What makes this newer version of spinning more than just a fad is that it is a full-body sculpting program. "It's not just working legs and doing cardio," says SoulCycle spokeswoman Gabby Etrog Cohen. Cyclists do a series of exercises with their upper bodies while on the bike, including push-ups, light weight lifting and using resistance bands.
At SoulCycle, bright lights are considered intrusive. The darkness lets fitness enthusiasts shed the stress of the outside world and focus on their own riding. Although you're in the dark, you're riding close together and feeding off one another's energy, says Cohen. "You are not competing against anyone else; you are riding for yourself. And our instructors are more like coaches who encourage you rather than telling you to ride harder. Their goal is to help people find their own personal strength and joy through exercise," says Cohen.
SoulCycle works for cyclists of all abilities, such as people who have chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes. "If you're not feeling well that day, you can take it at your own pace and the instructors can help you make changes to your workout," says Cohen. The ultimate benefit is that the class stays with you beyond the four walls of the studio, she adds. "Riders take this feeling of positivity and can-do attitude out of the studio."
A gym near you may offer a similar type of spinning, says personal trainer Bryan Berndt, owner of FIT Nashville, TN. Berndt's studio offers a class for cyclists looking for a complete workout. "We use weights and resistance on the bike," says Berndt. Riders also do exercises targeting the midsection. "After 45 minutes, we have pretty much worked every muscle group and your heart rate remains elevated," he says. "It's hard to sit on a bike doing nothing but spinning. Why not get an upper body workout at the same time?"
Doctors also give a thumbs-up to spinning, pointing to its benefits for those who have diabetes. "There is plenty of research to support that exercise cycling classes can improve insulin sensitivity for someone with diabetes," says John Martinez, MD, a primary care doctor with the USA Triathlon National Team in San Diego, CA. "You can also expect to see a decrease in blood pressure with regular participation in an indoor cycling class."

The Big Book of Simulation Modeling. Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 6
This is a practical guide to building simulation models. It explains how to choose the right constructs of the modeling language to create a representation of a real world system that is suitable for risk-free dynamic experiments. And this is the only book that comprehensively presents all three methods, or paradigms, in simulation modeling: Agent Based, System Dynamics, and Discrete Event.
The book is based on the modeling languages supported by AnyLogic, the software tool that enables a modeler to utilize all three methods and to combine them in a single model. Written by the creator of the software, this book is the most in-depth information resource on AnyLogic and multi-method modeling that currently exists. It covers topics from building simple Agent Based models with state charts, to designing interactive 3D animations, to developing data exchange with external programs.
With over 100 hands-on, step-by-step examples with different levels of complexity and various application areas, this book is extremely useful to both simulation professionals and students learning simulation modeling.
About the author
Dr. Andrei Borshchev is the CEO and co-founder of The AnyLogic Company, a leading provider of dynamic simulation tools, technologies, and consulting services for business applications, and is personally recognized as one of the world's top experts in Agent Based and multi-method simulation modeling.
Since 1998, Dr. Borshchev has been leading the development of AnyLogic software enabling it to be considered the corporate standard for simulation in over 500 organizations worldwide. He has conducted hundreds of lectures, seminars, and training sessions on simulation modeling and AnyLogic in the USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia, China, Korea, Japan, and South Africa, and has also led numerous simulation based consulting projects across multiple markets including logistics, transportation, supply chains, defense, healthcare, manufacturing, and consumer market analysis.
"I bought the book the moment it was online on Amazon. There are a lot of choices you should make during developing a new model and you can learn the consequence of each from the father of AnyLogic. A must read for anyone who is serious about simulation and modeling using AnyLogic."
"This is the best book in simulation. The other books from Law and so for... they are just to complement this one. First time that agents, system dynamics, and DES have been combined/fused in a different way. And AnyLogic is the best as usual! "
"This book will take some time to get through but it will be worth it that is for sure. Looking forward to reporting back when completely through it. "
"In my opinion AnyLogic is the best simulation platform. If you are using Anylogic, this is the book that you need. "
"Excellent book, must-read for AnyLogic computer modeling software users. Covers practical development of lot of models and modelling approaches."

It's quite hard to spot this ramshackled monument, but just look 10m north from the wedge tomb and you'll see a small bump with some exposed stones poking out of it. The remains of the cairn are very low, no more than 30cm or so. The exposed cist at the centre is not made from long slabs, but from smaller stones arranged in a very rough rectangle.
A little bit further north there is another bump that is almost certainly another mini cairn.
Wedge tombs are most easily catagorised by their main characteristic - they are taller and wider at the entrance than they are at the rear. Like court tombs they have a gallery which is split either by septal slabs or sill stones into smaller chambers. Galleries can be anything up to 8m in length.
The side walls are, uniquely, made of two rows of stones (three in some cases), which is refered to as double or triple walling. This double walling is perhaps the best feature to identify a wedge tomb by.
The roofs are constructed by laying large blocks or slabs across the gallery, resting on the tops of the walls.
They are often quite small, an amazing exception being Labbacallee (County Cork), one of the largest in Ireland. It is very rare to find a wedge tomb with its roof still in situ, although, occasionally, one or two of the roof slabs are present (see Proleek (County Louth)).
In some examples the roof would have extended beyond the front closing slab forming a portico at the front, which in a few specimens was split by a vertical stone place centrally in the entrance.
Like court tombs, portal tombs and passage tombs they were covered by a cairn, which, at many sites, it is still often possible to determine. A few, such as Burren SW (County Cavan), still retain a large proportion of the cairn.
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

Between now and the end of 2010, Audi will be investing $1 billion in 30 new dealerships, which will be implementing their new "Terminal" design. Explained as "Efficient, sporty, luxurious, and environmentally conscious 'terminal' architecture for Audi dealerships echoes vehicle designs." The new dealerships will focus on every aspect of design, from flowers to coffee cups.
They will be designed to minimize wasted space and use natural lighting, which will end up saving Audi 30-40% on expenses to run the dealership. The furniture and accessories within the dealerships are all custom made to match the terminal style as well. Each terminal dealership will individually apply for LEED certification, which will help them further increase efficiency in the future. Expect the first terminal dealers to open in Los Angeles and Atlanta, with others to follow.

Are you ready to paint again? I'm so excited to be hosting another modern barn quilt paint along this year! I had so much fun with the project last year, so I thought it would be great to do it again, and I encourage you all to join in the fun. This paint along is pretty low key, because after all, creating should be fun, so feel free to go at your own pace throughout the next few months.
If you'd like to start gathering your supplies, here's what you'll need.
+ plywood cut to the size you'd like your finished sign to be (mine is 2' x 2' )
+ primer
+ assorted acrylic paints
+ assorted brushes
+ pencil
+ ruler
+ blue painter's tape
+ exacto knife
+ waterproof sealer (if your sign will be hung outside)
+ hairdryer (optional)
+ your choice of hanging device (I used d-rings and screws)
For my sign I'm going to use 1/4'' pine plywood that is pre-cut to 24'' x 24''. I bought mine from Home Depot for less than $6. Look for it in the lumber aisle.
Last year I made a wonky log cabin style block for my modern barn quilt. I'm not sure what I'll do this year, so I'll be sharing some inspiration shots for some ideas in the next few days. And don't worry if you've never painted before! This is such a fun and easy project, and you really can't go wrong. I promise, it will be lots of fun, and in the end, you'll have an amazing modern barn quilt to display.

Today marks Veterans Day, the federal holiday honoring U.S. men and women who have fought in the armed forces. Veterans continue to face extremely high levels of unemployment, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress and homelessness. Since 2000, nearly 6,000 service members have experienced traumatic amputations from injuries caused by improvised explosive devices and other war-related dangers. Nearly one million active service members have been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder since 2000; nearly half of those have been diagnosed with two or more. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives each day.
Last year, more U.S. military personnel died by their own hands than the hands of others. On any given night, nearly 63,000 veterans are homeless. Many suffer chronic debilitating mental health problems. We are joined by long-time writer and photographer Ann Jones, author of the new book, "They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America's Wars — The Untold Story."

When we last saw Middle Class Rut, the band was tearing through a North American tour in support of 2010's No Name No Color and hit single "New Low." The song shot to No. 5 at alternative radio, its companion video racked up more than 4 million YouTube views and Middle Class Rut was, as USA Today declared, "on the verge."
The Sacramento, CA-based duo of vocalist/guitarist Zack Lopez and vocalist/drummer Sean Stockham shared stages with the likes of Muse, Social Distortion, Them Crooked Vultures, Alice In Chains, 30 Seconds To Mars and Linkin Park and more than held their own, drawing rave reviews from NME, the BBC, Alternative Press and Kerrang!, who proclaimed, "Their sound is nothing short of colossal, and one that a mere two-piece shouldn't be able to create, combining the boisterous swagger and pomp of Jane's Addiction and the feral fury of Rage Against the Machine." Added Alternative Press, "it's mind-blowing to witness the sheer depth and complexity of the sound these two guys are capable of unleashing on their own."
Lopez and Stockham are raising the bar with Pick Up Your Head, an album that sees the duo opening up their sound. "We realized we'd exhausted everything we could do with drums, guitar, and vocals," Lopez explains. "Once we decided to take an 'anything goes' approach, the songs poured out. We were freer with layering and didn't worry if we couldn't reproduce it live, as long as we captured the music with the highest energy possible."
Mixed by Grammy winning producer Dave Sardy (Johnny Cash, LCD Soundsystem, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds), the album was produced by the duo working alone in the studio. "We wanted to have a distinct sound," Lopez says. "Instead of jamming together, I'd write a bass line or a vocal melody. Sean would lay down a tempo and we'd write around that. For percussion, we'd use whatever was laying around – pots and pans, an old desk – anything with a nice crack and ring to it."
They recorded together in one room, so the music and vocals bleed into each other to preserve the feeling of a live performance. "There are more layers on this album, but we've been playing together so long, there was never a conversation about what kind of record we were going to make," Stockham says. "The songs and arrangements evolved as we played them."
The music on Pick Up Your Head has a denser, fuller sound than before, with Lopez playing bass and rhythm guitar, sometimes laying down multi-tracked parts. "On every song, we added percussive elements that play along with the drums to get a more spontaneous bang to build off of. It's not overkill, but it does sound more like a normal rock band. We had a budget, but we didn't send out for any fancy equipment. I used my practice amp and the usual amps I use on stage. We didn't use samplers. We didn't want any sounds a thousand different people have used before."
On "No More," Lopez piles up layers of grinding rhythms as Stockham's looped drum track adds a hint of funk to the song's message of desperate heartache. Stockham sings lead on "Dead Eye," a mournful tribute to the friends and family he's lost in recent months. The track's loping bass line and shimmering, reverb drenched guitar lines give it a country-esque vibe. "Sing While You Slave" describes the frustrations of a dead end job, alternating punched up guitars and a growling rant with jolts of processed vocals full of quiet desperation. The band shows diversity on tracks like "Leech," which has the bright feel of a 70s glam rock hit in its bouncy backbeat; the heavy surf guitar, tidal bass and primal drumming of "Cut the Line" and the Latin-tinged rap'n'roll of the title track. "Born Too Late" is a full-on blistering post punk attack, while "Take a Shot" closes the record with a quiet meditation on life's disappointments.
The album is introduced via its electrifying lead single, "Aunt Betty." Says Stockham, "A lot of the songs on the new record, including 'Aunt Betty,' existed as finished demos long before we even set foot in the studio. They were like these elaborate little buildings, finely chiseled, where every ornate detail had a definite purpose. Some needed a facelift, others needed ass implants. In the case of 'Aunt Betty,' she just needed some weight in the bottom end - a new foundation. We chopped her in half at the waist, fed her legs to the wolves, and rebuilt some new stems with thunderous thighs and bunda booty."
Keeping with the "anything goes approach," Lopez and Stockham are amplifying their live sound by adding a bassist, guitarist and percussionist. Explains Zack, "We were talking about our touring and figuring out how to play the new songs live and realized we had two choices: either we play to a laptop loaded with tracks, which would be lame, or we bring in some guys to fill out the sound, which seemed cooler. Sean was a little reluctant at first, which then made me reluctant, but we agreed to at least try it. If it works, great. If not, we'll just go back to the way we've always done it."
The band's roots can be traced back to Sacramento in the early 2000's. Stockham knew he was going to be a drummer from the moment he saw a fellow student bashing the drum kit in a junior high jazz-fusion band. "The sound of the drums in that big practice room was it for me," he says. "I'd been singing and dancing since I was four or five, but when I heard those drums, I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life." His parents had gotten him a drum kit and he spent every afternoon in his living room, bashing away to the bands on MTV.
Lopez, meanwhile, had been forced to take piano lessons--not the coolest instrument for a teenage boy. After struggling with a nylon string classical guitar that he couldn't get his fingers around, he got an electric. He learned the basic chords, ditched his teacher and started teaching himself. The two eventually hooked up and together with a friend, formed a band. Zack's mom had a tape deck. As soon as the still-unnamed band started writing songs, they'd record them. "We liked to listen to what we were writing right away," Stockham says. "We needed to hear it come out of a stereo."
The band called itself Leisure. They continued playing until everyone had graduated from high school. Lopez and Stockham were the core of the group, with other singers and guitarists coming and going. Eventually, they got signed by a major label and moved to LA. "We played bad rock music," Lopez says. "Sean and I played well together, but the other guys didn't. We'd always existed as a band within a band, it just took a long time to realize we could do it all ourselves."
Leisure made two albums; the label shelved them both. "The label got us an agent and a business manager, but it was pretty silly," Stockham says. "All this money was flying around, but we started getting disgusted by things that we had to do to keep playing the game. At the end, they didn't want to deal with us and we didn't want to deal with them." The band imploded. Lopez and Stockham stopped playing music for two years. "After the major label deal fell apart, we had to get real jobs," Stockham says. "While I was working, I was thinking, 'If this is what I'm going to be doing rest of my life, I'm going to go back to making music.'" The pair reconnected and decided to play as a duo.
They were reenergized and recaptured the excitement they felt when they first started playing together, only this time they could both wail on their instruments, with a bracing intensity and aggression to spare, even when they played acoustic songs.
"We decided to be totally independent," Lopez says. "We booked and promoted ourselves and did a national tour before we had a label, just two of us in a van, with one buddy who did our sound." Stockham had recorded the music he made with Lopez years ago, developing his production skills as they learned how to play. They quickly fell into a pattern of intense songwriting, recording and performing. "Recording our own music was a part of our process, ever since we were kids. As soon as we finished writing a song, we cut it. That's what we did with Rut."
Lopez agrees. "We cut [everything] on the album live, just threw down guitar and drums and it was finished. If we like something enough to record it, we'd capture it with the highest energy possible, right in the moment, everything totally stripped down." The recordings were sold online and at shows as The Blue EP and The Red EP. When DJ Andy Hawk at KWOD in Sacramento played "New Low," things opened up and the band took off. Bright Antennae signed them, their demos became their first album, No Name No Color, and they've never looked back (read: no more day jobs).
"We're super-excited about this record," says Lopez. "The first album was a collection of songs that had been written and recorded over a period of years. This one is way more cohesive from start to finish. When you listen to it, you can tell that it was all written in the same headspace."
The album got off to a good start, with USA Today naming "Aunt Betty" "Song of the Week" in the March 6th edition of the paper. "It's a good sign," says Stockham. "Wait till they hear the other 13 tracks."

Am I Bluegrass?
Remember the raging wind this weekend that made you want to cry out, "Surrender, Dorothy"?
And then the dash of snow in the north Tuesday night, to match the dash of snow last week in the south?
Ah, yes, it's all part of spring, along with … procrastination!
That wind, and then a slew of phone errands, kept me indoors on my weekend — which happens to be Sunday and Monday. No seeds started (though my seed packets arrived); no weeding done; no tidying, no nuthin'. But I did get the landscaper called and the lawn aerating guy called. This year, there will be a non-turf solution to the west side of my back yard, where the two dogs have pounded a racetrack into the clay soil and no turf will ever grow again. Well, I suppose turf COULD, but it would be fighting nature and the way this homeowner happens to live on her small suburban landscape.
Turf (not grass). Soil (not dirt). The technical lingo of the horticulture experts has saturated my very verbiage.
You see, I'm currently in the Colorado State Extension Master Gardener volunteer training program. And that means every Friday from 9 a.m to 4 p.m., renowned state experts stuff my brain with so much knowledge I had to start a blog to relieve the pressure on my cranium. I take my classes on the Front Range in Boulder County, where last week CSU Extension's Turf Specialist, Tony Koski, Ph.D., turned my stinkin' thinkin' about turf totally on its head. This doesn't mean I actually know anything other than a few salient facts that might help me to NOT be the blight on my block this year. And that my fantasies of a no-mow native-grass lawn in my back yard were truly misguided — those species just won't take the traffic two big dogs dish out. (I also know that I truly suck at identifying grass species, which seems mainly to have to do with recognizing tee-tiny cryptic little plant parts).
The real revelation in our grass class was that Kentucky bluegrass is not the enemy. Bad management of Kentucky bluegrass is the enemy. Kentucky bluegrass in the wrong place is the enemy, and a misunderstanding of what it needs can be the enemy.
The class actually has me hoping that my front lawn can actually look quite nice this year with lots of aeration and perhaps a little nitrogen. Could mean more mowing, but if we can get it leveled out … and seeded with something that tolerates the shade of the flowering crabapple and the hot sun in the patches where that shade can't reach … mowing it shouldn't be such a horrible hassle. In fact, given an electric mower and no gas fumes, it might even be … gasp … pleasurable.
I hate mowing. The fumes, the noise, the dirt, the smell, the clippings, and more than anything else, the prep — picking up the dog poop and moldy apples and cottonwood limbs. I did it for years as a kid — remember those hand-held clippers you used to have to use to trim around the trees and anywhere the mower couldn't go? Oh yeah. Good times. Today, I'd rather clean someone else's bathroom with a toothbrush than mow. So I hire it out. And I'm cheap — I don't want to pay for it more often than every two weeks. But now, I've learned from Tony that this is just too infrequent to produce a good-looking lawn. Cutting too much of the grass (more than 1/3 — the classic pruning percentage) at any given time stresses the plants' roots, and deep, healthy roots give you good drought tolerance. Tony told us that his dad mows three times a week!
So my only option is to make that front yard — with a space that's half the square footage of what used to be in turf — healthier and greener — in both senses of that word.
And so: Aerate and seed and apply nitrogen, carefully. And make sure my aeration guy is using a seed that will do reasonably well in the conditions it'll have to face.
OK, so I was SUCH a former turf-hater that it was even a revelation to me that there are different VARIETIES of Kentucky bluegrass. Turf experts have tested some that are deeper-rooted and thus more water-efficient than others. There also are bluegrass hybrids — Kentucky bluegrasses crossed with grasses from Texas — that are tough and better adapted to the Colorado weather. And there are grasses that might even be able to take the pounding from the paws of a hell-bent 50-pound terrier trying to beat the squirrel to the honey locust. There's a whole lot that's new out there.
Just … don't ask me to mow it yet.

Friday morning the Lady Bisons swept Furman 3-0 in the first match of the Gamecock Invitational hosted by the University of South Carolina in Columbia. It was the fourth straight match sweep for the Lady Bisons, 6-2. Furman slipped to 2-5.
The Lady Bisons won by scores of 25-18, 25-19 and 25-18.
"We went about doing our business really well," Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "This is the one match this season where I have been the most pleased with how we executed our game plan.
"We went out there and did what we were supposed to do. We were never behind in the match. That was a fun thing, but I didn't realize that until the very end."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly led with a match-high 17 kills. She also had a match-high .441 hitting percentage.
Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer recorded a match high 17 digs. Freshman libero Stephanie Rex was credited with 10 digs. "I wanted to win this match and make it known what we are all about," Rosenthal said.
Friday at 4 p.m. the Lady Bisons will face South Carolina State, a 3-0 loser to host South Carolina earlier in the day.

The temperature has dipped over the past week or so across the UK – and a weather event known as a stratospheric warming means that more cold weather is now on its way.
"As we reported last week, a sudden stratospheric warming has happened," explained the Met Office.
"The warming started around 22 December 2018 and the winds at around 30km above the North Pole reversed from westerly to easterly around New Year's Day."
When will it snow?
Forecasters are warning the public to brace themselves for cold weather at the end of this month – but things will warm up again between now and then.
"The latest forecast suggests the highest risk of any severe wintry weather is from late January and into February," revealed Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Martin Young.
"Whether cold spells will be brought about by Arctic air arriving from the north or easterly flows arriving from the continent remains uncertain.
"However, before this happens we expect a rather changeable and relatively mild spell over the weekend and early next week, with some rain for most of us.
"From the middle of next week, and especially during the last week of January and into early February, there is an increased likelihood of cold weather becoming established across all of the UK."
How much snow will we get?
Experts are currently unsure what the impact of the stratospheric warming will be.
"There remains uncertainty over how quickly the effects of this recent sudden stratospheric warming might propagate from the stratosphere into the troposphere and thus what the impact of this warming event will be on weather conditions over the UK," said the Met Office.
"Unlike the 'Beast from the East' last year, this event is burrowing down through the atmosphere relatively slowly."
Where will be worst hit?
According to Young, the current weather situation ensures "an enhanced risk of snow and widespread frost almost anywhere across the UK, but particularly across northern parts."
However, he adds that "the cold weather may not affect the whole of the UK and it is still possible that some milder and wetter interludes will intersperse this generally cold period, especially in the south."

There's already a ton of great information from Jeff in The Simple Dollar's guide about shopping around for auto insurance – how to choose it and how to optimize it.
Rather than just rehashing my own experiences with auto insurance, I wanted to look at it from a different angle. Obviously, my choices helped define what kind of car insurance I chose, but how does car insurance actually alter my choices once I already have it?
What do I mean by that? Most auto insurance policies offer reductions in rate for customers who conform to certain behaviors. In other words, if you do certain things, your insurance rate will go down.
Compare Affordable Car Insurance Rates
For the auto insurance company, this makes sense. Insurance companies profile you. They look for aspects of people that are found in good drivers because good drivers are the ones who make money for the insurance company. If people are very rarely making claims, then the insurance company is going to clean up on you as a customer.
So, what do good drivers do? They don't get in accidents, obviously, but there are other factors to consider.
Improve your credit score. Most insurance companies use your credit score as a component in figuring out your rate quote. The better your score, the lower the rate they'll offer you. Why? As a whole, people with good credit tend to get into fewer accidents.
I've witnessed this in my own life. After improving my score in 2006 and 2007 (it wasn't bad to begin with, but it wasn't great), I started shopping around for insurance rates again (after my first shopping around in 2004). I was stunned as to how much lower the rates on offer were.
Don't get pulled over. The impact of a traffic ticket can be painful enough. You can get dinged $100 for even the slightest traffic infraction.
That's just the first cost, though. Often, the real cost comes with the increase in insurance rates that comes with the traffic ticket. The next time your policy is renewed, brace for a rate increase. It won't always happen, but it often does.
A similar logic applies when it comes to traffic accidents. Get in an accident and you're likely facing a rate increase.
Buy a low-profile and reliable car. If you choose a car that's associated with speed and flashiness, your insurance company will take that into account. So will thieves.
Avoid flashy cars. Avoid cars known for speed. Look for cars that are reliable and won't attract undue attention.
Drive less. One of the things you'll always be asked when applying for car insurance is how much you drive. The less you drive, the lower your quote will be.
If you can, use mass transit to get into and out of the city for work instead of driving your car. Stop for groceries and other items off of mass transit as well.
The fewer miles you put on that car, the lower your insurance for that car will be. You'll also save money on fuel and maintenance.
Have a good credit score. Drive safely and within the speed limit. Buy a reliable car. Drive less by using mass transit and your bicycle more.
These aren't just good pieces of insurance advice. They're good pieces of personal finance advice. Each of these tactics will save you money even without considering auto insurance.
These aren't just good pieces of insurance advice. They're good pieces of personal finance advice.
If you take steps to improve your auto insurance rate, you're likely taking steps that will save you in other aspects of your financial life. You'll get fewer traffic tickets. You'll see lower interest rates. You'll have fewer repair bills. You'll have lower auto maintenance and fuel bills.
These steps become a "double win."

As part of this Snow Queen end of year extra I recorded this half hour programme from Skalanes in East Iceland in June. This is where activists opposed hydro electric dams and lost – but realized the enormous dam-building drill could also force a tunnel through the mountains and connect their isolated communities. In other words, inspiring conservationists and very quick thinkers! For some context before you listen check out Scotsman Column I emailed over from Skalanes.

While it's far too early to start filling out your office pool brackets, EA figures that this is the perfect time to get you pumped up for the coming season by releasing NCAA March Madness 2005, the latest in their increasingly popular college hoops series. In many ways, March Madness is similar to its cousin, NBA Live 2005, especially when it comes to the core gameplay. Nearly all of the controls are the same, from your standard pass and shoot buttons to the utilization of the right analog stick to perform stylistic juke moves. NBA Live's new rebounding system has made it into the game as well, so you can now choose what to do with ball when you're crashing the boards. At the press of a button, you can try to tip the ball in, go for the powerful follow-up dunk, or grab it and toss it back out to reset the offense. There's one major addition to the game, however, that reflects an element that is becoming increasingly unique to the collegiate style of play.
If you watch NBA games, you've probably noticed that there is a greater emphasis on one-on-one play, as opposed to the running of set plays. Sure, you might see a coach calling out a play during crunch time, but that is usually to ensure that the team's best shooter gets the ball when it matters most. During the rest of the game, however, the ball is frequently passed around a few times, before one player decides to challenge his defender. This is not the case in college ball, where coaches rule the roost and players have to follow their instructions to a T. It's nice to see, then, that EA has decided to implement what's known as the Floor General Play Calling System, which allows you to call, set up, and execute a play without altering the flow of the game.
Using the Floor General system is amazingly simple, even for those players who don't know the difference between a weak side screen and a screen door. When bringing the ball up the court, simply press the D-pad up, and you'll see three different offensive formations appear. You can select one of these by pressing the D-pad in the corresponding direction, or you can press up again to bring up three more offensive sets. After you decide, pressing the right thumbstick will show you where to set up, and which player should receive your pass. At first, figuring out how plays were supposed to be run was a challenge, as you can only see the first step of the play. However, once you figure out what to look for (a player curling around a screen or your big man wide open underneath, for example), you'll have no problem putting the ball in the hoop.

Absolutely LOVE this jam!! I made this last year, along with other freezer jams. This definitely was our favorite. We are currently consuming our last container, so I brought the recipe out to make more. I'll be making this for years to come!
May 27, 2014
This is delicious! it was easy to make and the taste is unusual and fresh. Made it last year and used it all winter. Just used the last container and it was as good as the first one. I can't wait until blueberries are plentiful again. I'll make more this year.
Aug 22, 2013
Just made this jam yesterday. I only had powder pectin, so I used a box of that. I am a bit disappointed to see that my jam is not setting up after the 24hours on the counter. Not sure why, followed the recipe to a tee. Put it in the fridge now so we will see if the jam gets thicker. Tastes super good! So no matter what I will definitely make this again, even if I only use it over vanilla ice cream!
Jul 16, 2013
Absolutely wonderful flavor! However, I only had powdered pectin and a very small orange. I added orange juice and a T. of lemon juice. It was still rubbery when set. I would follow the recipe and use liquid pectin but add lemon juice next time. Its worth making again for the flavor!
Jul 10, 2013
Delicious flavor! However, I ended up having to cook mine and pour into jars as I would regular jam to achieve the desired results. The orange enhances the blueberry flavor and is delicious on breads!

Donald Trump isn't the only person criticizing Bernie Sanders' supporters this weekend. It appears the Vermont senator has his own bone to pick with them, at least on "Saturday Night Live."
Larry David returned to Studio 8H to reprise his role as Sanders on "SNL's" cold open.
David, with his uncanny Sanders impersonation, thanked supporters for the surprise upset in Michigan's Democratic primary on Tuesday. He then apologized for his supporters making Facebook feeds "so, so annoying."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"I mean, I love my supporters, but they're too much, right?" David said. "I'm great, but I'm not five posts a day great. With all due respect, get a life."
This week in politics was a gold mine for the show, which has a long tradition of lambasting presidential elections. And with so much to satirize, how could one possibly choose a single event for the cold open?
Well, you don't. Ben Carson's endorsement of the GOP frontrunner and the controversy surrounding violence at Trump's rallies were also lampooned in the opening segment as CNN's Jake Tapper, played by Beck Bennett, checked in with the candidates.
"SNL" alum Darrell Hammond returned to the sketch show as Trump for an "ebony and orangey" endorsement press conference, while cast member Jay Pharoah brought back his hilarious Ben Carson.
"Dr. Ben Carson is a very special man," Hammond's Trump said. "And for once, I don't mean that as an insult to the mentally challenged."
Pharaoh's Carson admitted they have some differences. "I questioned his knowledge on health care and he called me a psycho and a child molester," Pharoah said.
The show also took a shot at the violence at Trump rallies in the wake of the Chicago protests, as well as clashes at events in Dayton, Ohio, and Kansas City, Missouri.
"Breaking news right now, we're getting word now of yet another incident of violence at a Donald Trump rally," Bennett's Tapper announced. "Apparently the victim was this man, Dr. Ben Carson, who was attacked moments ago by an angry mob that mistook him for a protester."
Hammond scolded his supporters as the retired neurosurgeon held a "classy" Trump steak over his eye.
"Guys, what did I say? Not this one. This is one of the good ones," Hammond chided, warning the media not to "use this use this as an excuse to call me racist."
Pharoah defended his candidate, noting that Trump has many black friends like reality star Omarosa and Dennis Rodman.
"The list goes on," Hammond said.
"Mike Tyson," Pharaoh added.
"The list ends there," Hammond quipped.
The show also skewered Hillary Clinton with a fake campaign ad in which Kate McKinnon not only adopted positions similar to Sanders, she started to look and sound like him.
The ad ended with McKinnon's total transformation into Sanders, down to the over-sized suit, receding hairline and Brooklyn accent.
"Thank you millennials for lending your support for the biggest outsider Jew in the race: Hillary Rodham Clinton," she said.
Former Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande pulled doubled duty as host and musical guest.
In her monologue she joked she was "a singer was not a Starbucks drink" and belted out a tune about how she'd yet to have a "grown-up scandal."
Grande leaned heavily on her vocals, and showed her range in a sketch in which she belted out tunes by Britney Spears, Shakira, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
Grande played an intern at Jay-Z's Tidal music streaming company in danger of losing its files.
In an unscripted moment, Larry David as himself got a bit tongue-tied when introducing Ariana as the musical guest. But the show went on as scheduled, laughs and all.

A thief has returned a 255-pound pumpkin that an eastern Pennsylvania boy won by correctly guessing its weight -- along with a note apologizing for the theft.
Nine-year-old Jaiden Newcomer, of York, won the pumpkin at an Oktoberfest celebration in Windsor Township and had displayed the giant pumpkin on the family's porch -- until it was stolen last week.
But the York Dispatch reports the pumpkin was back on the family's porch Sunday evening after they returned from a weekend trip.
U.S. & World
The thief also left a note that says, "I'm really sorry about taking your pumpkin, it was wrong of me, you earned the pumpkin, I didn't think my actions through nor realize who they were affecting. Sincerest apologies."
Amy Newcomer says her son is "very excited. He's beside himself."
The returned pumpkin surprised everyone.
"I never thought it would actually be returned," Newcomer told the paper.

The massive cleanup of a century's worth of mining pollution in Idaho's Silver Valley would cost $635 million and take up to 30 years under a final plan approved by the federal government on Aug. 28.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the interim Record of Decision Amendment, which details its proposal to clean up arsenic, lead and other heavy metals pollutants in the valley, which is located 50 miles east of Spokane.
"This will bring real human health and environmental protections in the basin," said Dan Opalski, director of EPA's Superfund office in Seattle. "This is an important milestone."
The EPA has already received written concurrence from the state of Idaho and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, the other main players in efforts to clean up the Upper Basin of the Coeur d'Alene River.
The agreement follows disputes over the scope of the cleanup work, which in a 2010 proposal called for spending $1.3 billion over a time frame of some 50 years.
Earlier this year, the EPA proposed sharp cuts in the costs and time of the work. The changes were partially the result of a huge outcry from Silver Valley residents and Idaho politicians. Opponents contend that much of the cleanup work is unnecessary, and federal restrictions and the stigma of a Superfund designation have stymied economic growth in the depressed region.
Most of the nearly 7,000 public comments received by EPA about the original cleanup plan, one of the largest in the nation, called for doing less work and getting the job done faster, the EPA has said.
The Coeur d'Alene River Basin is one of the nation's largest Superfund sites, with heavy metals poisoning land, streams, wildlife and humans. The wastes washed into waterways and moved downstream, some extending into the state of Washington.
A lawsuit calling for the cleanup was originally brought in 1991 by the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe against several mining companies. Agreements have since been reached with several mining companies that had historic operations in the valley, creating a trust fund of about $800 million to pay for the work.
Much cleanup work has already occurred around Kellogg, Idaho, where the pollution was making people sick. Before that work, the Silver Valley was so saturated with pollution that it stripped the hillsides of vegetation and poisoned the blood of children, causing physical and emotional problems that continue.
Opalski has said the original plan called for cleanup at 342 mine sites, but the revised plan would clean up some 200 sites. He cautioned that the cutbacks mean that when the work is done, the area might not qualify to have the Superfund designation removed.
Among the changes from the original plan, the EPA dropped a $300 million project to install a plastic liner along portions of the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River; active mine sites would be removed from the cleanup; numerous remote mine and mill sites that were found to contain little pollution or did not pose much public risk will be removed from cleanup.
The new cleanup plan has received letters of support from the state of Washington, The Spokane Tribe, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service.

2Up Denver may take over Kitty's East space, add music stage
Our friends over at Reverb, The Denver Post's music site, just reported that vintage arcade and bar The 2Up may expand into the next-door space vacated by adult shop Kitty's East, which is closing in the wake of a drug operation busted by Denver Police at the East Colfax business.
The 2Up, which as any good Denver gamer knows is the southern outpost of LoDo's popular 1Up barcade, is doing so well that it's considering moving into the soon-to-be-vacant Kitty's space — possibly with a live music stage (and presumably with more excellent classic video games).
Head over to Reverb to check out the full story.

Making a Habit of Habitat
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2003 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 01, 2003
There might have been some bumps along the way, but a collaboration between a nonprofit, a builders association, and a major building supply company yielded some efficient, comfortable, and affordable results.
Habitat for Humanity has successfully built affordable homes across several continents, largely because it uses donated materials and labor. In Phoenix, Arizona, those donations are helping Habitat to make homes that are also highly energy efficient. Operating under a tight budget and with volunteers behind the hammers, Habitat is building Villas Esperanza—one of the largest single communities of Energy Star homes that the nonprofit has ever built. In the words of Scott Balk, former construction manager for the Phoenix area Habitat affiliate Habitat Valley of the Sun,"Energy Star was more than a good idea. Although the extra costs were not insignificant, the good will demonstrated by Habitat and return for the family in particular,was just too good to pass up." Improving Quality and Energy Efficiency Planning for Villas Esperanza may have begun in 2001, but its origins can be traced back to 1996.That's when Home Depot in Phoenix sponsored its first Habitat home at the South Ranch community in south Phoenix.Although this and subsequent homes built through Home Depot sponsorship were built to Habitat's standard design, Home Depot ...

Taro patent discussions advancingUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
UH Manoa Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education
Senior administration officials from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are engaged in ongoing discussions on the matter of patents held by the university on improvements to certain varieties of taro.
The following statement includes some background on the issues, along with an update on the discussions. It is issued jointly by UH Mānoa Chancellor Denise Konan and Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education Gary K. Ostrander.
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has come to both recognize and appreciate the unique place that taro occupies in the lives and culture of indigenous peoples and in particular our Native Hawaiian community.
The Strategic Plan for the Mānoa campus clearly articulates our desire to be a Hawaiian Place of Learning. Moreover, and perhaps of greater importance, it is imperative that we remain an institution that is culturally sensitive to the greater community around us and to those whose lands we occupy.
As an institution we have only recently come to appreciate the significance of taro as the embodiment of the most sacred of the Hawaiian Gods. To this end, we place a high priority on treatment of taro in a culturally sensitive and appropriate manner.
We are committed to resolving the issues that recently arose surrounding three patents that UH holds related to taro. At the same time, we believe that it may be worthwhile to consider the value that science can bring to the preservation of this precious plant.
At this juncture we can unequivocally state the intention of Mānoa to make an exception to the process relating to patenting and licensing surrounding taro.
The patents in question do not relate to genetically modified taro. That is, our faculty member did not create a GMO. This work, and the resulting discoveries, was brought about as a result of one of our faculty members responding to a request from taro growers in Samoa. This was at time when Samoan taro production was reduced by 97 percent as a result of attack by a fungus-like organism. Using traditional breeding techniques he crafted new taros that were resistant to leaf blight. Moreover, as directed by his contract with UH and under the existing agreement between the University of Hawaiʻi Professional Assembly and the UH Board of Regents, he filed a disclosure of this "invention".
Mānoa now must find a way to simultaneously be responsive to our faculty, their union, potential predatory commercial patents, and of no less importance, our greater Native Hawaiian community. Finally, we must also address the appropriate role that science can play in the process. While we recognize the long history of taro cultivation by indigenous people, the very real probability exists that some other disease vector, as occurred in Samoa in the early 1990's, can and will decimate taro.
This is not an intractable problem as ultimate responsibility for the management of patents and license agreements rests with the administration. In the coming weeks the administration intends to complete our broad consultative process and determine a strategy for moving forward.

Archiv Produktion
Deutsche Grammophon reaffirms its commitment to Early Music
It was exactly a year ago that Deutsche Grammophon revealed new plans and signings for Archiv Produktion. Today the world's foremost classical record company reaffirmed its commitment to Early Music. Says Ute Fesquet, Vice President Artist & Repertoire of Deutsche Grammophon: "It gives us deep satisfaction to announce a host of exciting albums scheduled for imminent release on Archiv. We look forward to spreading the spirit of our Silver Label to an ever-widening audience through these new interpretations of Baroque and Renaissance masterpieces by outstanding Early Music exponents."
Making his Archiv opera debut, celebrated Handelian René Jacobs, "the most exciting opera conductor of the day" (Münchner Merkur), leads the dynamic, exquisitely honed B'Rock Orchestra and an outstanding cast in Orlando,one of Handel's most ravishingly beautiful creations. The fantastic title role, written for the legendary Senesino, is sung by its finest modern exponent, Bejun Mehta, "one of the most commanding, exhilarating countertenors of the modern era" (The New York Times). Archiv's first recording of Orlando will be released in May.
Pablo Heras-Casado, "one of the most exciting conductors of his generation" (Die Welt), makes his Archiv debut with El Maestro Farinelli, an album of music performed by another legendary 18th-century castrato, and one who served as court musician to the kings of Spain. Featuring the superb period-instrument ensemble Concerto Köln, Heras-Casado's selection includes "Alto Giove" by Porpora, one of the finest arias composed for Farinelli, it too sung in this May 2014 release by Bejun Mehta.
To be released in June 2014: From Spain to Eternity, a major recording by Ensemble Plus Ultra, whose hugely ambitious 10-CD anthology on Archiv Produktion commemorating the 400th anniversary of Tomás Luis de Victoria's death won a Gramophone award in 2012. Their new project marks the 400th anniversary of El Greco's death with sacred choral music by Morales, Lobo and Tejeda, three outstanding composers who flourished in Toledo when the artist lived and worked there.
A spectacular rediscovery will be released on Archiv Produktion in October 2014. La concordia de' pianeti (The Harmony of the Planets) was created by influential Baroque opera composer Antonio Caldara in 1723 for the Austrian empress's lavish name-day celebrations. The remarkable piece then languished for nearly three centuries. On 18 January 2014, Andrea Marcon – having painstakingly reconstructed it together with musicologist Bernardo Ticci – gave the first modern performance, conducting Baroque orchestra La Cetra. His brilliant cast is headed by countertenor Franco Fagioli as Apollo – the breathtakingly virtuosic role sung in 1723 by another great castrato, Carestini – alongside tenor Daniel Behle and soprano Verónica Cangemi, among others.
Archiv Produktion's fifth exciting addition to the catalogue in 2014 will appear in November. Having already made a classic set of Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord and performed the Brandenburg Concertos with Claudio Abbado, Giuliano Carmignola – one of today's finest interpreters of the Baroque violin repertoire – has now recorded the two Violin Concertos and the Double Violin Concerto with Concerto Köln. A new benchmark is promised.
Finally a peek into Archiv's future: look out for further concertos, opera, oratorio and much more from artists of the calibre of Pablo Heras-Casado, Magdalena Kožená, Andrea Marcon and Anna Prohaska. And that's only the beginning. Watch this space for updates.

Wal-Mart showcases new strategies
More self-checkout lines added to new store
Wal-Mart has launched some new strategies to attract summer shoppers.
New products are rolling into stores. From tablets to towels, the selection changes fast.
Wal-Mart officials provided a tour of one of their stores in Rogers to show some of their new ideas and how they keep up with demand.
More self-checkout lines have been added, and store officials said they've invested millions of dollars in updated technology.
Wal-Mart Vice President of Innovation Shannon Letts said customers can expect even more of them in the future.
"Think of airports, ATMs, gas pumps, those types of things. They're all very self-service oriented, and people have adapted and really prefer those types of service options," Letts said.
There are changes on the food side, too.
"We buy locally and purchase produce locally from our suppliers, as well," Walmart store manager David Frazier said.
Earlier in the week, Wal-Mart announced a money-back guarantee on all of its produce with no questions asked.
There's also a push to by locally grown food.
"We're really looking forward to the season in Arkansas -- watermelons, sweet potatoes," Wal-Mart Vice President of Food Jack Sinclair said. "We're really excited about when that season comes in place. We're making sure we're supporting all of our local growers."

Astros unveil Minor League rosters
HOUSTON -- The Astros released their Minor League rosters on Wednesday, and their talent level is evident throughout all levels. Houston has the No. 1-ranked farm system in baseball, as ranked by MLB.com, and six of its clubs reached the playoffs a year ago.
Farm director Quinton McCracken said that the process of setting rosters is challenging. The organization has replenished the farm system over the past few years, beginning with former general manager Ed Wade and going full-tilt behind current GM Jeff Luhnow.
"We have a lot of deserving players we had to part ways with the past few years here, because the accumulation of talent that Jeff and Ed has stockpiled has really started to come to light here," McCracken said. "So it was a collective effort from scouting, our decision sciences and front-office staff to divvy up the talent in the proper places. As you see, we have depth now at each level. Good problems to have."
Six players on the Triple-A Oklahoma City roster are among the Astros' top prospects as ranked by MLB.com: George Springer (No. 3), first baseman Jon Singleton (4), pitcher Mike Foltynewicz (6), outfielder Domingo Santana (8), catcher Max Stassi (12) and pitcher Nick Tropeano (17).
Double-A Corpus Christi features No. 7-ranked prospect Delino DeShields Jr. and No. 18 Nolan Fontana, but high Class A Lancaster is where the talent is brimming. The past two No. 1 overall picks in the First-Year Player Draft -- shortstop Carlos Correa (2012) and pitcher Mark Appel (2013) -- will begin their seasons with the JetHawks.
Also on Lancaster's roster are pitchers Josh Hader (15), Kyle Smith (18), Lance McCullers Jr. (5) and Vincent Velasquez (9); catcher Roberto Pena; infielders Tony Kemp and Rio Ruiz (11); and outfielders Teoscar Hernandez (13) and Danry Vasquez (20).
Many of the prospects could end up playing at a level higher by year's end.
"Last year it was a unique situation, with some of the younger kids being here for the first time on a full-season club, so we were conservative with them and made sure they had their feet on proper ground, but that being said, each will be moved according to their own individual progress," McCracken said.
The Minor League season gets underway on Thursday.
