The Bridge Laying Tank; Then and Now
Ever since the dawn of mechanized warfare in the early 1900's, there has always been a need to get vehicles across terrain that is just horrible. Then there came the caterpillar track system, which could go through relatively thick amounts of mud and other previously impassable terrain with ease. Still, these systems were complicated, heavy, and get bogged down just too often. This is where the Bridge Laying Tank comes into play. In the rainy last days of WWI, a British Mk. 1 medium tank lugged a wooden scaffolding bridge across the thick mud to allow infantry to cross. This is unofficially the birth of the bridge laying tank.
In WWII when the allies land in Normandy, France as phase 1 of Operation Overlord, the M4 Sherman tanks of the American 3rd Armored Division need to cross deep trenches and ditches that were dug by the retreating German Infantry. Shermans with crane arms and a steel bridge instead of a standard turret are called to resolve the issue. They lay the temporary bridges to get the rest of the invasion force across.
Now, modified M1A1 Main Battle Tanks are the American way of fixing the century old problem. They like the M4 Shermans of olde sport a removed turret to carry the crane and bridge. In Iraq and Afghanistan, Al Quaida blows bridges and freeways to prevent the armor from rolling in. No problem for the Army Corps of Engineers, them and their Bridge Layers get the convoys moving again.

Burden Of A Day
Pilots & Paper Planes
"They are Demons, sent to Earth to Lower the Standard" - Bill Hicks
I am not spending a lot of time on this one because it is exactly like every other modern American post hardcore/emo/melodic metal band out there right now. And frankly I am done wasting my time with these bands. So, here you go:
Well produced. Dual guitars. Rhythmically interesting. Screamy singing mixed with whiney singing. Absolutely the same songwriting as all the rest. Descendants meets Crumbsuckers. I am not at all exaggerating when I say I could be listening to ANY OF THE BANDS IN THIS GENRE. It's actually insane. Even at the very worst point in metal history: LA Glam, the bands each had a modicum of style. SOMETHING that set each one apart from the others. SOMETHING. With this style there is nothing. No thing. Not. One. Thing.
Bottom line...if you have heard any band that plays this style you have heard this one. Worse than numetal, worse than boybands, worse than pop "country". It doesn't need a review and it doesn't deserve my creative invective.

It's not retirement time for AMD's 45 nm "Regor" silicon just yet, with the company announcing the Athlon II X2 280 value dual-core processor. Built in the socket AM3 package (compatible with AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+ motherboards), and based on the company's K10.5 micro-architecture, the chip features two x86-64 cores clocked at 3.60 GHz, 1 MB of L2 cache per core (2 MB total), an instruction set that includes SSE3 and SSE4A, and a dual-channel integrated memory controller that supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory types. The chip can take advantage of HyperTransport 3.0 interface, with a maximum data-rate of 4.0 GT/s. It features a rated TDP of 65W, and is designed for entry-level desktops. It is priced at US $49.99.
Awesome price for a no-shit CPU. Bog standard cheap ass dual core, decent tdp as well. I can see these selling in environments like schools who are on tight budgets and still need to phase out their old pent 4's, of which I know there are many! Hell id buy one for the media streaming pc for my parents, but I already have a spare 8350 for that
Bargain if it unlocks to a Phenom X4. This every time. I've GPUs better than the one in the A4 wasting space in my house
Sandy Bridge Celeron G550 at £35, it has serious competition at the budget end. Also, why not produce 1 module Piledriver for the budget crowd?
so they can sell their athlon stock I guess. No sense in manufacturing or cutting down new chips when they can just sell what old ones they have left!
That is a lot of old stock they have, you would have thought that they will start winding down the Athlon II fabs after starting Piledriver.
Id personally go for the Athlon over the APU. Ive tested the Older Athlon 3.2 vs the APU and the Athlon eats it for breakfast. Only good thing is the GPU with the APU. For a budget gaming rig this would be a good choice.
IIRC none of the dual cores could be unlocked. Some single core Semprons could be unlocked to two cores (iirc), tons of X3's could be unlocked to either just four cores or four cores + level 3 cache.
It was definitely possible to unlock Phenom II X2s, in fact I've never known anyone try this and fail.
pretty much app phenom II x2's were quad core unlockable, my friend had several before going Intel i5 and every single one unlocked. They're just quad cores that failed tests anyway.
Some PII X2's were locked down quads that worked 100% fine and were justed locked to X2 to hit market demand/price points. A lot of 555's were like that- mine ran perfectly as a quad (overclocked to 3.6 as an X4 w/o a voltage bump ) Wondering if these may be X4 Athlons that are locked down for the same reason (i.e. price points/demand). AMD sometimes gets a little loose with their core naming so I would not be surprised at all if this is the case...
I have a older Phenom II X3 720 that unlocks to a quad on stock voltage and it does quite nicely for gaming and everyday use.
it is cool how for less than $300 you can build an entire PC that will do everything you want but high end graphics.
Yup, this is good competition, as the Celeron is faster than a X2 250 3ghz. The difference? the celeron is less power hungry and has a Graphics Inside. That x2 280 is quite nice, but I think this is a bit late, no?

Bitter battle in Rhode Island over the separation of church and state.
One atheist group is calling this -- to -- about to see behind me there is a World War I memorial and they call it unconstitutional.
They want it moved.
But some people and the community of Woonsocket disagree.
I don't -- it came to into the Booth.
Atheist group I don't know why McCain -- to them they seem to be preying on the weak.
Communities that can't defend themselves -- they don't have the funds to do it and that tells me what kind of people these people are.
So should the town be allowed to keep the cross radio host John DiPietro is organized.
To keep across he joins us now from Providence hi John.
Good morning Alison this crosses been there for nine -- one years has it ever caused controversy before.
Never Alison you know when it was dedicated in 1921.
He was re dedicated in 1952 to honor the service of those that fought.
In the Second World War this is outrageous that the -- is group these the type of people -- -- they're upset that Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated.
This is a war memorial no one is forcing anyone to go in.
Pray in front of it at honors those that.
Served our country some who lost their lives it's a war memorial it's been there since 1921.
And we're gonna fight to keep it there.
As we just heard one of the residents say it's how to -- socket is facing bankruptcy.
They have a lot of money woes today have the money to be -- to fight this fight.
Well that's the thing Allison.
I believe that an organization like this they are apple leases that the bishop of Providence set on my radio program and W Piero -- police -- target.
Cash strapped cities.
Feeling they can intimidate them instead of fighting it to -- -- even go a long.
Number of people have stepped forward we're gonna try to create an effort to make sure that the city.
Has the proper resources to fight this analysis make no mistake about it if they win this battle what's next is this being crosses at Arlington.
Does this mean how -- the -- cemetery at that overlooks Omaha Beach.
In those that lost their lives at Normandy this is old war memorial we gonna fight to keep it that way.
By the way they also don't like that the -- believe the fire department.
Has a web sites that perhaps he uses some cross imagery let me read you a statement.
From the atheist group they -- the web -- impermissibly demonstrates a reference a preference sorry for religion over not religion.
The Latin cross at the fire station demonstrates one sockets preference for christianity.
Over other religions is this first the -- mint to issue.
It is not -- it's it's two separate issues.
I mean our firefighters as you know I mean it radiates some of them they're about to come on the program right now -- on fox.
They -- they don't discern who they have to go -- -- but it's two separate issues to try to say that a war memorial that happens to be across.
Is somehow up -- people that's what this atheist group is saying that someone has to go -- -- and they're offended instead they should.
Feel that -- solid ground.
This is a total insult to all veterans.
We have bishop Tobin is gonna stand with the general -- -- Akio we're gonna fight to keep this war memorial where a long.
It's exactly should let you'll know you're gonna have a community rallied.
Wednesday may second 4:30 PM at the cross in Woonsocket John DiPietro please let us know what happens -- -- -- -- we appreciate it good to be with you -- -- well up next it's.

To Phillips and other conservatives, any increase in revenue goes against their goal of shrinking the federal government by cutting spending.
"It is time for conservative activists to make the case to the American people that we have far more government than we can afford, or than we want, no matter what our politicians may think, or what deals they may be willing to cut with each other to keep spending other people's money until we are all bankrupt," said a Tuesday post on Tea Party Nation by Bruce Donnelly of Fox River Grove, Illinois.
Donnelly called for "organizing voters to rein in the politicians, rather than let them keep playing the game by their rules with our money."
"It's worth your effort to organize voters in your community and apply real political pressure for change, because if we just keep playing the game by their rules, your own financial situation will keep getting worse, rather than better," he continued.
"The politicians keep offering free stuff with other people's money, playing us all for fools. It's time to wake up the voters in every corner of America to the fact that they have been conned by these snake oil salesmen and their well-rehearsed lies and false promises," Donnelly said.
In the end, a reviled Democrat in the White House may mean more followers of conservative websites such as Tea Party Nation and RedState.com. No one seems happy about the better business prospects, at least for now.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
When Raju is released from prison after serving two years for forgery, he goes to the temple located on the Sarayu River in his hometown of Malgudi. He thinks prison is not too bad a place, and he is wondering what to do next with his life. Then a villager named Velan shows up and, taking Raju for a holy wise man or guru, consults with him about his sister, who refuses to marry as the family wishes. Well aware that he is not a guru, Raju is evasive, but Velan brings his sister anyway, and after their meeting she conforms to her family's wishes. So begins Raju's life as a holy man.
He recalls his boyhood in a poor family; his father, who kept a very small shop; and his mother, who often complained of their life. Meanwhile, Velan returns with others from his village after work. No matter what Raju says, or even if he says nothing at all, they bring him food and beg him for words of wisdom. They feel the need for a spiritual adviser, so they make one out of a very unlikely prospect.
Raju then reflects on his father's small stall at the railroad station and on how he built up the business himself after his father's death. His memories are interrupted periodically when other villagers come to seek his advice. Almost by accident, Raju finds himself appointing an old man to run a school at the temple for the village children. This increases his fame, and Raju begins to bask in the light of his own glory.
Later, Raju recalls, he...

Iced Earth
Horror Show
With this band being of the Power Metal genre, this will be the first attempt by one of The Prophets (in this case me) to dissect an album featuring this brand of music. I must say it's a great pleasure to do so, because being Iron Maiden is like one of my all-time favorite...oh wait a minute, I'm sorry...this is an Iced Earth review. Well in that case, let me take The Number Of The Beast out of my disc player (thanks for bringing back the memories Wrex) and replace it with Horror Show. Alright, enough with the sour comedy and on with the show...Horror Show. When I found out that two of my favorite musicians in Richard Christy and Steve DiGiorgio were going to play on this effort, both the anticipation and the excitement were overwhelming. It had been months since I'd read that piece of news, and time seemed to be dragging on and on. By the time this album finally hit the stores I was on such a Death Metal kick that I didn't know what to think when I first threw this one in. As much as I can appreciate Matt Barlow's vocals, the "Goddamn, my balls are in a vice" style is not in high demand throughout the entire metal underground. Although he does prove that he is arguably in the fore-front of the Power-pack, it just wasn't what I wanted to hear at that particular time. However, going back to it now and giving it the full justice it requires, I've noticed one thing. I've been missing out on some kickass music that had been sitting and collecting dust since it's release. For those of you who don't know, Horror Show is a concept album based on different characters from various horror movies, books and quite possibly real life. The idea came from Iced Earth mastermind/main song writer/guitar player/leader......Jon Schaffer. Many studio albums after their debut CD entitled Iced Earth, their sound has pretty much stayed the same with the only real changes coming in the vocal and production departments. This is Barlow's fourth studio effort with the band and he sounds better and better with each release. With the technical ability displayed by both DiGiorgio and Christy on albums from other projects, I am surprised that they didn't do more in their respective departments. The only conclusion I can come to is that Mr. Schaffer was the director (as always) and guided them along a path of his liking (like they need guidance). Their playing is tight as always and better than average, but this album could very well have received a masterpiece rating had they had the chance to express their artistic craft in full. What sets this band apart from so many others in the Power scene is their heaviness. The twin melodies are there and so are the lead sections which add flavor to the mix as well. I believe some leads here and there should be required in all true metal, however I can do without the phenom leads that usually exist in this style of music. I'll take some tight-ass rhythm playing any day of the week over that over-schooled bullshit. Not that I don't have respect for a musician with a Master's Degree in guitar, but it just doesn't move me much anymore. Larry Tarnowski adds this simple yet effective style to this music and it is in welcoming fashion. Even though I'll stand by Dark Saga as being the best work this band has ever done, Horror Show completely blows Something Wicked out of the water. All fans of Iced Earth and Power Metal in general should pick this disc up. All you younger folks who haven't been with us since the old-school days might just want to stay away if your mind is a bit subdued. Favorite Track: Damien

200 ml water
225 gr quality bittersweet chocolate (a scant 8 oz), chopped coarsely
Place the water and chocolate into a small heavy saucepan over medium heat to melt. Stir the chocolate in the pan until completely melted.
Have ready two bowls, one that will sit inside the other. Into the bigger bowl, put some ice and a little water, and place in it the smaller bowl. Pour the melted chocolate into the smaller bowl and whisk over ice - the mixture will gradually thicken and take on the appearance of whipped cream, at which point it is ready to serve.
I used a hand-held electric mixer with a whisk attachment and it took 3 minutes.Be careful not to over whip it, but if you do simply put it back into the pan and start again.
I followed this exactly save the use of the stick blender w wisk attachment ( i just wisked by hand. I've made a bit of mayonaise/hollendaise in the past) which man have been my issue.
The chocolate would whip up to beautiful soft peaks and then when coaxed any stiffer, it would completly break down, back to its totally slack state, but couldnt be whipped up again till brought back up to the total melt point.
I was wondering if anyone has had better luck with this and also if anyone knew a bit more about the molecular basis of this technique.
Really all I know about chocolate and water, is when i've worked with chocolate, esp. tempering chocolate by hand, getting water even close to your chocolate is bad news, as even a drop of water thickens the chocolate and makes it impossible to temper, so obviously this technique uses that reaction to its benifit.
Is it the incorporation of air with wisking? the aggitation? the heat to cool?

From March 19th through today iheartfaces is hosting a Social Media ABC Photo Challenge with this month being The Letter "N".
Since I enjoyed doing their letter "A" challenge in February I decided to try this one as well.
I started this time by jotting down as many things that started with the letter "N" that I knew I had here at home then I started going down the list brainstorming different ways to photograph the particular items.
One thing I definitely have learned this time around is that I need to be more creative with setting up the items I intend to shoot.
This first set is notebooks, nickels & nutmeg.
The next 2 is newspaper & my Nikon caps. Yes, I am a Nikon girl.
The last set is a basketball net & numbers on a calculator.
Until next time, don't forget to take time out to enjoy your view.

The City of Austin, Texas is now the largest U.S. municipality to use only renewable energy to power its facilities. The city uses Austin Energy's GreenChoice, a voluntary program, to buy their electricity.
The city has bought about 400 million kWh of renewable energy from the program that will get the electricity from a wind farm in West Texas.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Austin Energy sold more renewable energy than any other U.S. utility in 2010, selling 754 million kWh electricity from wind and landfill gas.

Tuesday | December 3
The White Buffalo
The White Buffalo, a.k.a. Jake Smith, is touring in support of his latest album, Shadows, Greys and Evil Ways, which was released in September. The 14-track collection is guided by Smith's arid, deep voice and touches on a number of personal subjects, like the will to continue living, battling addiction, post-war trauma, and wondering if God is really out there. The album runs the gamut from acoustic ballads to gritty rock 'n' roll, and from Americana tracks to the sort of primal stompers that are simultaneously beautiful and ominous. | BP
INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/door, $20/door. 429-6994.
Wednesday | December 4
Kenny Butterill and Band
Local singer-songwriter and producer Kenny Butterill has been entrancing listeners with his minimalist songs for more than a decade now. Butterill often employs dusty, low-key vocals that are simultaneously arresting and unassuming, and lyrically, he explores everything from the need for companionship ("Gotta Find a Woman") to what it feels like to be a songwriter ("Just a Songwriter"). Musically, Butterill primarily channels the blues, country and Americana. Because of his production work, Butterill has not released an album since 2002's Just a Songwriter, but it is easy to see why songs like the Americana track "How Far Can We Go?" did well on European and Canadian country charts. | BP
INFO: 7:30 p.m. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel. $10-15. 477-1341.
Waxahatchee, known offstage as alt-folk songwriter Katie Crutchfield, has hit the road in support of her sophomore album, Cerulean Salt, released in March. The long-awaited follow-up to her 2012 debut, the lo-fi acoustic American Weekend—whose track "Be Good" was named one of the best songs of 2012 by NPR—Cerulean maintains the intimacy that fans have come to know and love, but also has a more polished and mature sound. Introspective and alluring, this might just be your soundtrack to December. | JB
INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst Atrium,
1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 423-1338.
Thursday | December 5
Dragon Smoke
Dragon Smoke is an all-star band comprised of some of New Orleans' finest players. Drummer Stanton Moore and bassist Robert Mercurio are known for their work in the band Galactic, while keyboardist/vocalist Ivan Neville has made a name for himself with The Neville Brothers and Dumpstaphunk. Together with guitarist/singer Eric Lindell, these guys are unstoppable. Dragon Smoke's most recent release, 2011's Live in New Orleans, showcases the group's rock, funk and soul sensibilities, and whether it is Neville's thick, muscular vocals ("Out in the Country") or Lindell's charismatic singing ("Turnin' it Out") leading the way, they can't lose. | BRIAN PALMER
INFO: 9 p.m. Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.
Stockings: A Holiday Cabaret
Some of the best local dancers and musicians will come together this weekend to present an avant-cabaret, called "Stockings." The fun and sexy evening of inspired titillation will feature Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra, Vyxen Ro and Dancers, Balla Fire, Kim Luke, Terry McCants, Oliva Lehrman and Eli Weinberg. Each year, Motion Pacific awards more than $4,000 in scholarships so that youth and teens, regardless of income level, can participate in dance classes. At this weekend's performances, Motion Pacific hopes to raise $5,000, but they can't do it without the community's help. | JB INFO: 8 p.m. Motion Pacific, 131 Front St., Ste. E, Santa Cruz. $25. 457-1616. Visit motionpacific.com/event/stockings. Photo: Rosie Chesney
Friday | December 6
Mother Hips
Earlier this year, The Mother Hips released its latest album, Behind Beyond. Led by songwriter/lead vocalist Tim Bluhm (also of Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers) and guitarist/vocalist Greg Loiacono, the album explores the notion of mortality and not letting the past control you, while also reflecting on life. But it's not all weighty and serious. The country rock track "Toughie" puts an upbeat spin on walking that fine line between being too thick-skinned and not thick-skinned enough, and the groovy "Best Friend in Town" is full of sass and swagger. | BP
INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.
A Very Vinyl Christmas
On First Friday, Santa Cruz Rehearsal Studios will unveil its newest exhibit, the second annual "A Very Vinyl Christmas." Guests will have the opportunity to admire a festive collection of holiday vinyl—the majority of which was provided by Streetlight Records—plus a hot chocolate and gingerbread cookie reception. Can't make it to the event? The exhibit will be on display for the entire month of December. | JB
INFO: 6-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. Santa Cruz Rehearsal Studios, 118 Coral St., Santa Cruz. Exhibit on display for month of December.
Saturday | December 7
Marguerite Conti and Karen Waterman
Marguerite Conti began her music career in Santa Cruz with the release of 1990's Rising from the Night. That debut folk-pop album and her follow-up effort, Angels (1993), received national airplay and critical acclaim. She ended up relocating to Seattle in 1994, but she'll return this weekend for a special set with another local songbird, Karen Waterman. With a new release on its way, Conti will have plenty of new material to please eager fans. Likewise, Waterman's soothing blend of folk-rock, jazz and blues showcases her storytelling ability and smooth-like-butter vocals. For a taste, check out her 2011 album, Light At My Window. | JENNA BROGAN
INFO: 7 p.m. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel. $5-10. 477-1341. For reservations, email
SUPERNOVA After Party
Directly following its annual STARS gala, the Museum of Art & History is hosting a masquerade ball, known as the SUPERNOVA After Party. It's less pricey than the gala, but attendees can get just as dolled up, enjoy an open bar, bid at the silent auction, dance, and nibble on local desserts. The best part? Each ticket buys an art class for a local child. | JB INFO: 9-11 p.m. Museum of Art & History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. $50. 429-1964. Visit santacruzmah.org/stars/supernova.

Sunday | December 8
Kaki King Be Our Guest
Kaki King is a wildly inventive guitarist. Whether she's performing solo or with backing bands, her penchant for exploring a variety of sonic textures is a real treat. Employing everything from acoustic and lap steel guitars to the occasional hybrid instrument, King is truly an avant-garde performer who is always seeking to stretch the boundaries of guitar playing. Her latest instrumental album, 2012's Glow, features dreamily ominous thumpers, ethereal Asian-influenced tracks and lush strings. | BP
INFO: 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $16. 423-8209.
WANT TO GO? Visit the Good Times Facebook page before 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 6 to find out how you could win a pair of free tickets to the show.
If Calico could be summed up in two words, it would be: Girl power. The band features three gifted songwriters, vocalists and instrumentalists—all female, and all about fun. Winner of the National Touring Artist of the Year Award at the Los Angeles Music Awards, Calico is a quickly rising star in the Americana scene. One listen to the group's brand new EP, Calico the Band, released in July—a collection of eight spunky numbers characterized by mesmerizing three-part harmonies, country twang, and expert instrumentation—and there will be no doubt. Keep an ear out for Calico's holiday single, "Santa Have Mercy." | JB
INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote's, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. $10. 603-2294.
The Choral Project
The community is invited to get into the holiday spirit this weekend at Peace United Church of Christ where The Choral Project, an award-winning ensemble, will present a special concert to benefit the Interfaith Satellite Shelter Program, an alliance of six churches which provides shelter to 15-20 homeless individuals in Santa Cruz each night. The performance will feature holiday music, including classics like "The Little Drummer Boy," "Carol of the Bells," and "Silent Night," sung by more than 50 voices. | JB

After breaking its decade-long road hiatus with a successful run of shows earlier this year, industrial rock band BILE will stop by Santa Cruz on Sunday as part of its Built to F*ck, Born To Tour North American tour. The New York-based band will unleash its self-proclaimed "audio terrorism" on the Blue Lagoon, with special guests The Rabid Whole. Calling all head-bangers: This one's for you. | JB
INFO: 9 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 423-7117.
Monday | December 9
The Pedrito Martinez Group
Gloria Estefan may as well have been prophetically referring to The Pedrito Martinez Group when she said "the rhythm is gonna get you." The band's self-titled debut album, released in October, features compulsively danceable Afro Cuban rhythms ("Lengua de Obbara"); funky, soulful numbers ("Travelling Riverside Blues"); and groovy jazz tracks aplenty, whether they be of the more Latin persuasion or a more traditional bent. It is easy to see why Martinez has opened for the likes of Sting, Dave Matthews Band, Ray Charles, and Willie Nelson, and has received rave reviews from critics worldwide. | BP
INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $28/door. 427-2227.
Wednesday | December 11

Mrs. Magician
Fans of '60s-era pop and surf rock, who also have a dark side, will dig Mrs. Magician's 2012 debut album, Strange Heaven, and the band's just-released B-sides record, also called B Sides. The San Diego-based trio is all about dark imagery and fearful undertones, distorted guitars and eerie vocals, but they also have a penchant for upbeat melodies and toe-tapping rhythms. The result? A creepy, yet danceable, amalgam that's truly one of a kind. | BP
INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.
Sunday | December 15.

While exploring the park's forest habitats, participants will be able to use bird identification guides and find out how to spot various species. The walk is approximately a mile long, and will take about two hours at a leisurely pace, with a slight elevation gain. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers and bring water and snacks. An optional "chalk-talk" following the walk will cover binocular selection, birding books and apps, birding hot-spots, and more. | JENNA BROGAN
INFO: 8 a.m. Meet in front of the amphitheater at the entry of the campground at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Enter the park from Graham Hill Road. 335-7077.

Masters Series II
The Masters Series continues at R. Blitzer Gallery, with artwork by two of the area's most revered artists and educators, Howard Ikemoto and Ron Milhoan. Both artists, now retired, have inspired thousands of students as art instructors at Cabrillo College. Throughout his career, Ikemoto's work has been exhibited across California, and, at 74, his creations continue to invite viewers to think outside the box. Often abstract and sometimes non-objective, his most recent works examine landscapes through the process of painting. Milhoan's current oil paintings, "The Dusty Trail Series," were inspired by the landscape and are a tribute to his home of 20 years in Corralitos. | JB

Helpful, efficient, well-located and clean --what more can one want? Not deluxe, and more of a lobby might be nice but..... Outstanding WIFi--far better than local Marriott and free. Responsive helpful staff, taxi rank and Metro right outside the door. Street backs up to Pere Lachaise cemetery. Interesting diverse gentrifying neighborhood, far more accessible to even a non-French speaking tourist... More

A new report says convenience trumps quality for parents when it comes to picking an afterschool program.
The Legislature's budget committee has concurred with Gov. Walker, to require able-bodied adults to either work or attend job training sessions, in order to receive food share benefits.
The requirement would pertain to adults with no children and with incomes up to 200% of the poverty level (approx. $23,000 per individual), and demand 20 hours per week of working or training.
Those who don't meet the requirement, could only receive food 'stamps' for three months every three years.
The humble hammock, harbinger of summertime, has a long history.
If you're a listener of a certain age, you probably recognize the title of poet B.J. Best's new collection of prose poetry called But Our Princess is in Another Castle.

Written by Addicted to Addict Kimberly
Dior Addict is the most wonderful fragrance I have ever owned. I discovered it years ago and it is the only fragrance I wear. It is extremely elegant, but I can also wear it to work and play in as well. My kids say it is my permanent scent. I can go days without spraying it on and the hint of it is still with me. I get asked ALL of the time what perfume I have on. If someone does not like it, it has to be their chemistry does not work with it. I feel like it was created just for me!!! If I could give it six bottles as rating, I would! I tried Addict II and it is a nice scent, but I went back to the Blue bottle!

This is the best perfume by Dior that actually I have ever owned. It really last 6-10 hours on my skin, receive complimnents when I wear it . This is my signature perfume from now on. Usually I have a hard time to find perfumes that last on me, although they last just fine on other people. Well, this is the one that lasts - however though buy it at the mall and it is cheaper than here- also much faster!!

Addict is my signature scent. I've been wearing this scent for the past 15 years. I have men and women coming up and asking me what perfume are you wearing. The men ask where can I buy this perfume, you are wearing, you smell absolutely beautiful. The funny thing is when visiting the store again, the gentleman said to me "Your scent was in store for the whole day". Love, love Dior Addict, so many compliments and passes by wearing this scent.

Halloween can get pretty scary for kids, and not just in haunted houses. While the "razorblade in an apple" story has been debunked as a myth, Halloween can be dangerous for children.
The Emergency Medical Services Authority sees a spike in calls for children 14 and younger every Halloween, reported KJRH.
EMSA warns parents against allowing children to carve pumpkins without supervision, to watch costumes that could be flammable, to be vigilant of traffic while trick-or-treating, and to check all Halloween candy before consuming.
How do you make sure your child is safe on Halloween? What precautions do you take? Are there any that are easy to forget?
Our Massapequa Family Room hopes to be the place where parents can share their thoughts on issues like back-to-school, or to share any advice on building strong local families.
Sharing is easy.

Hot Cheesy Crab, Spinach and Artichoke Dip
When I was looking for crab recipes I came across the concept of a hot crab dip and since I had some left over crab I decided to try making one. I found a bunch of recipes but none of them felt just right so I took what I liked from each of them and ended up with this one. I don't think you can go wrong with a base of cream cheese and sour cream. Add a bunch of of cheese and it only gets better. I really couldn't make a dip without some green so I added some spinach and green onions. Of course we cannot forget the star of the show, the crab. The dipped turned out to be really amazing! It was nice and warm and gooey and creamy and tasty. The crab added that extra bit of flavour and a texture that just sent it over the edge. I will definitely be making this again!
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup baby spinach (packed)
4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup sour cream
chili sauce to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 parmigiano reggiano (grated)
1/2 cup mozzarella (grated)
1/2 cup cheddar (grated)
1 cup artichoke hearts (chopped)
1 cup crab (chopped)
2 green onions (chopped)
1. Melt the butter in a pan.
2. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the white wine and spinach and heat until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Process the spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, chili sauce, salt and pepper in a food processor until nice and mixed.
5. Mix in the artichoke hearts, crab, green onion, parmigiano reggiano, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
6. Place the mixture into a baking dish.
7. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until bubbling and golden brown on top, about 20-30 minutes.
