UM's Knight Center's Millennium Development Goals Project Named Finalist for Online Journalism Award
September 29, 2010 - Coral Gables, FL - The Knight Center for International Media at the University of Miami School of Communication has been named a finalist for the Online News Association's (ONA) prestigious 2010 Online Journalism Awards for its "My Story, My Goal" project. The finalists were announced Tuesday, Sept. 28, by ONA and its partner, the School of Communication at the University of Miami. The Knight Center is competing against Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications for the top prize in the Online Video Journalism, Student category. For the "My Story, My Goal" project, 14 multimedia graduate students teamed with students from seven Knight Center for International Media partner schools in Africa and Asia to tell stories that personalize the 2015 United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The students created My Story, My Goal to shed light and insight on these critical global issues, including poverty, maternal health, environmental sustainability, universal education, gender equality, HIV AIDS, and children's health. The students worked under the guidance of veteran journalists, Tom Kennedy, a Knight Center Professional-in-Residence, and Rich Beckman, a UM professor and the John S. and James L. Knight Chair in Visual Journalism. Graduate students Ami Vitale, Chi Yang, Danny Bull, Deborah Acosta, Jesse Swanson, Lauren Santa Cruz, Lauren Rose Whiddon, Lauren Malkani, Nick Maslow, Nick Harbaugh, Paul Franz, Paula Echevarrîa, Stephanie Wehrunga, and Charles "Stretch" Ledford developed the project. To see "My Story, My Goal" click here.

I thought this mod was dead?
Well here are my thoughts download that file it contains a PDF which I once created for your mod with bug reports, ideas & other recommendations.
A community project aimed at creating the ultimate Homeworld2 mod.
Been given go ahead by moleman to do official release of homeworld universe.
Posted by LeviathansWrath on May 18th, 2012
Okay i need peoples input about the current version that i got floating around and tell me what needs to be fixed or improved etc. Right now im considering adjusting the RU collection default speed for all races by 50 percent and changing some stats. When i put out the release i will link it to this thread so post away all. Also if anyone is interested in helping out with the mod itself PLZ reply, its just me atm. In addition i went and edited the HP values for the BEM race, they can now go toe to toe with the other races.
I thought this mod was dead?
Well here are my thoughts download that file it contains a PDF which I once created for your mod with bug reports, ideas & other recommendations.
it basically was because no one would give me permission to do anything officially, moleman gave me that permission.
Hi LeviathansWrath,
I'm useless yet for modding HW2 therefore I have more feedbacks than demands:
- From HWU summary and playing some games I've noted that the mod grew in a spreaded organic way. The natural suggestion is to take one issue at a time and make it 100% done. I know it's not easy cause our will depends on mood, but since you're kinda restarting everything, I suggest to be tactical at this point;
- Change the mod summary here itself, to reflect the challenges you're facing now. The mod is already big by its own features, it doesn't have to state it out loud.
i am unable to edit the summary on the mod on this site dont have the authority to do that.
Update on fixes.
Fixed somtaaw ms fighter and corvette docking issues that 23 down pointed out so they no longer pass through the ms hull and i fixed the processor docking paths for collectors thou i need to tweak it a bit.

Jimmy's A&A Mediterranean Deli
Seriously, how has it taken me this long to come here? Same with Fuzzy! I don't have too much to say, but super cool place, tons of food, and taste…Soooooo Good! If I was hosting Canada's Diner's, Drive In's and Dive's, this would be on my list.
I had the medium mixed combo of chicken and beef with a Samosa. Next time I have to try and eat the large or XL beef. Jimmy's knows what they are doing, they are doing it right, and they are serving it up huge!
Located on the corner of 15th Ave and 20th Ave NW, it looks like an old school convenience store in a house. I almost sold a client a house next to this place, I tried making it a selling feature. hahaha.
If you haven't been, GO!

Consulting services
I am available to consult with therapists either on a one-time or continuing basis by Skype or in person about a variety of matters including but not limited to:
- Trauma treatment: Countertransference issues with trauma survivors, including vicarious traumatization; treatment planning; developing containment and self-soothing skills in severely dissociative trauma survivors; risk management with trauma clients
- Psychological testing: I offer assessment to assist with treatment clarification, using such instruments as the MMPI-2, Personality Assessment Inventory, Trauma Symptom Inventory-2, and the Multiscale Dissociation Inventory. I am also available to consult with you on testing administered by other psychologists so that you can better understand the application of their findings to your work with your client.
- Diagnostic dilemmas: I enjoy assisting other therapists with differential diagnosis of complex cases, including questions of malingering
- Forensic issues: If you or your client are anticipating a deposition or court appearance I can support you in preparing to deal with the legal system. I also consult with attorneys on mental health aspects of civil and criminal cases related to trauma, dissociation, abuse, victimization, discrimination, and harassment.
My current fee for consultation with psychotherapists is 160/hour.
Lectures and workshops
I am available to offer lectures and workshops to professional and general audiences. Most of these workshops can be presented to accommodate time slots varying from 1 hour to 2 days depending on your organization's needs. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss the needs and interests of your organization. My usual fee for a workshop is 3000/day plus travel expenses. I generally require several months of advance notice to schedule a workshop. Complete details about how to hire me to speak to your group as well as a list of upcoming talks and workshops are available on the Live Appearances page.
Forensic expert testimony

- Review of records
- Deposition planning

- Cammermeyer v. Aspin (service in the military by a lesbian officer)
Psychotherapy practice
My psychotherapy practice is closed to new clients at this time. Former clients are always welcome to contact me, and I will do my best to find time for you.

I am a preferred provider with Premera Blue Cross, all health plans managed by First Choice of Washington, and Medicare, and am glad to bill out-of-network for other insurances plans.

Early career professionals seeking supervision for licensure purposes at either the masters or doctoral level are welcome to contact me to arrange for private supervision of their work.

I've had this question burning in my mind for a long time, and a recent thread has pushed me to figure it out. Can someone explain the entire system for me (and rest of the forum)?
What I know is this:
-There is the unit that is attached the the oil pan, and the two small hoses that go to it have coolant in them.
-Inside the oil pan are some tubes (not main pickup) that go somewhere containing what? coolant?
-Oil is pumped through two hoses to the radiator to be cooled, these contain oil, not coolant. Is this related to the oil cooler unit (with coolant) on the back of the pan?

Dinosaur Invasion!
This morning, when I arrived at the Newton Public Library, I was informed that story time was going to be held outside. Apparently, some velociraptors had been seen roaming inside the library.
There were many fellow superheroes on hand, just in case the dinosaurs came outside to look for a meal!
Luckily, not a single caped crusader needed to do battle.
Rumor has it that the dinos stayed away because they were afraid of this dad's dance moves!

BLADENSBURG, Md. (WUSA) -- Kevin O'Toole says he has never been more happy to be in a firehouse than he was Tuesday night. And when you learn about his story, you'll understand why.
It was about 7:30 at night back on February 24th, an especially windy night in Prince George's County, when a fire broke out in a two-story house in Riverdale. About a dozen firefighters were battling the blaze when, suddenly, an especially strong gust of wind created a fireball inside the house, injuring all seven firefighters who were on the first floor, including Kevin O'Toole.
The injured firefighters were all taken to the hospital. Six of them were released within a few days, but O'Toole was hospitalized for eight weeks with burns over fifty percent of his body, before going back to his parents' house on Long Island to continue his recovery.
"You have to remember that your hands aren't as good as they used to be," O'Toole said.
On Tuesday, he made his first trip back to his Bladensburg firehouse, where he and a few of the other firefighters injured that February night were honored by Congresswoman Donna Edwards.
The 21-year-old O'Toole, who just graduated from community college, says he's now considering becoming a professional firefighter. When asked if the fire in Riverdale had make him think twice about running into a burning building again, he paused, but for just a second.
"There are things that people need to do, and I still feel the calling to do that," O'Toole said.

Well make sure to tell us what MS is up to there.
Is anyone going to Linux World in San Francisco this year??
12-15 August for the Conference, 13-15 August for the Expo.
I've been going to go several times, well this year I'm gonna do it!
The conference is insanely expensive imho, so I have to settle for the Expo. But what the heck, at least I can say I've been to one.
Well make sure to tell us what MS is up to there.
Yeah, I have to wonder... Can I take a squirt gun loaded with ink?

The Effect of Several Silver-Containing Wound Dressings on Fibroblast Function In Vitro Using the Collagen Lattice Contraction M
Over the last 2 millennia, many civilizations have recognized silver as a treatment for preventing diseases.1 Within the last 50 years, following renewed interest in the use of silver nitrate solution for burn wound infections,2 silver became known as one of the least toxic antimicrobial agents and regained widespread acceptance in wound care.3
The primary purpose of a topical antimicrobial agent is to reduce bacterial contamination and opportunities for infection. Ideally, these agents should combine maximum antimicrobial function with minimal toxicity to either intact or damaged tissue. In particular, when a topical antimicrobial agent is applied to an open wound, it is important to understand the possible effects that this agent may have on cells that play a critical role in tissue regeneration (eg, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes). Consequently, the concentration and availability of an antimicrobial agent to host tissue are important issues.
It is difficult to use in-vitro models to mimic the complex events that take place in wound healing, as they cannot duplicate many of the complex and uncontrolled events within a wound environment.4 However, the fibroblast-seeded collagen gel contraction model, first proposed by Bell et al, has been used extensively for more than 25 years.5 In a recent review, Carlson and Longaker suggested that this model's simplicity (ie, the use of a single cell line embedded in a collagen gel) may be its strength.4 It was further stated that "If its limitations are respected then the fibroblast-populated collagen matrix can be used as a model of the healing wound."4
In previous studies using this in-vitro model, the contraction rates of equine granulation tissue fibroblasts have been shown to be comparable to human granulation tissue fibroblasts,6 as this model allows fibroblasts to grow in a 3-dimensional collagen gel structure, a matrix component native to the wound environment. Previous studies have looked at the antibacterial, physical, and chemical characteristics of 7 proprietary silver-containing dressings.7 In this report, in-vitro studies of biological characteristics (eg, fibroblast function) of the same dressings were conducted using equine fibroblasts seeded within a collagen gel structure.
Materials and Methods
Dressings. This study assessed the characteristics of 7 proprietary silver-containing antimicrobial dressings that have all received an appropriate regulatory (eg, US Food and Drug Administration) risk-benefit profile: 3 fibrous dressings—AQUACEL® Ag (ConvaTec, Skillman, NJ, USA; referred to throughout this article as nonwoven A), Acticoat® Absorbent (Smith & Nephew, London, UK; referred to throughout this article as nonwoven B), and SILVERCEL® (Johnson & Johnson Wound Management, Somerville, NJ, USA; referred to throughout this article as nonwoven C); 2 foam dressings—Contreet® Foam (Coloplast, Holtedam, Denmark; referred to throughout this article as foam A) and PolyMem® Silver (Ferris Pharmaceuticals, Burr Ridge, Ill, USA; referred to throughout this article as foam B); a gauze dressing—Urgotul® S.Ag (Laboratoires Urgo, Chenôve, France; referred to throughout this article as gauze); and a nonadhesive polymer hydrogel sheet—SilvaSorb® (AcryMed/Medline, Mundelein, Ill, USA; referred to throughout this paper as hydrogel). The physical and chemical characteristics of these dressings have been previously described.7
Cell culture. Granulation tissue fibroblasts (GTFs) were taken from slow-healing areas of equine wounds, and the fibroblast-seeded collagen gels were prepared as described previously.6 Briefly, tissue samples were immediately transferred to a sterile Petri dish, washed in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) (all cell culture materials were supplied by Gibco, UK unless otherwise stated), and cut into 3–5 mm2 pieces before being placed into 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks containing media (prepared by adding 10% fetal calf serum to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium [DMEM], supplemented with 20 mM Hepes buffer, 100 µg/mL gentamicin, and 0.5 µg/mL amphotericin B) and incubated in a 5% carbon dioxide/95% air environment at 37˚C.
Following incubation, the fibroblasts were harvested from stock dishes and plated in 35 mm 6-well plates at a concentration of 1 x 106 cells/mL in molten type I collagen (Sigma, UK) prior to the application of moistened dressings.
Gel contraction and viability assays. For gel contraction and viability assays, 0.5 g of each silver-containing wound dressing was pre-moistened with sterile saline (0.5 mL) and placed onto the surface of the fibroblast-seeded collagen gel, and 0.5 mL of sterile saline was applied directly to the control gel with no dressing. Gel contraction measurements were made using calipers (mm) at 24-hour intervals over a period of 96 hours. Quantitative evaluation of fibroblast viability was carried out at the end of the experiment (ie, after 96 hours) using the trypan blue exclusion assay. Six replicates were performed for each dressing plus controls.
Statistical analysis. A multivariate analysis of variance (Duncan's multiple comparison test) was used to analyze the data.
To more accurately measure the individual effect of a dressing on fibroblast contraction, a percentage area of collagen gel contraction relative to the control was calculated for each dressing using the equations outlined as follows. Equation 1 shows the calculation for the absolute area of contraction (AAC) for the control and each individual dressing expressed as a percentage:
AAC= [initial radius of the gel (ie, 35 mm)]2 – (final radius)2 X 100 ÷ (initial radius)2
Equation 2 expresses the AAC of each dressing as a percentage contraction relative to the control:
% contraction relative to control =AAC dressing ÷ AAC control X 100
Consequently, a high percentage value in both calculations (ie, contraction rate similar to control) would suggest that there had been minimal dressing interaction by the active silver component and/or other dressing components over the experimental exposure period of 96 hours.
The results from these in-vitro studies show that 4 of the dressings had a minimal effect on collagen gel contraction while the other 3 dressings, nonwoven B, foam A, and hydrogel, induced minimal changes in percentage area contraction (Figure 1). The cell viability data showed a trend similar to the contraction data (Figure 2) with nonwoven A, nonwoven C, gauze, and foam B having the least effect on cell viability after 96 hours (ie, approximately 70% viability) compared to > 80% cell death for the remaining 3 dressings.
Since its introduction in the 1970s, the in-vitro fibroblast-seeded collagen gel model has been extensively utilized. In 1990, Ehrlich and Rajaratnam8 proposed a mechanism of wound closure based on fibroblasts using locomotion forces. According to this proposal, the fibroblasts rearrange the collagen fibrils by their movement, resulting in contraction of the collagen gel; however, other factors can also potentially influence contraction in this model (eg, cell density, viability, and proliferation rates9), and as a consequence, contraction rates will be greater in vitro than in vivo.8,9
In these investigations, silver-containing dressings were applied to a fibroblast-seeded collagen gel to determine the effect of silver on fibroblast gel contraction and viability. Using saline as the hydrating medium, the results from these studies showed that although there were marked differences between the dressings in their ability to allow the collagen gels to contract, this was unlikely to be related to silver availability alone but may have been due to other factors, such as the physicochemical characteristics of individual dressings or other dressing components. For example, the hydrogel dressing has a relatively low silver content (eg, < 10 mg/10 cm x 10 cm dressing),7 yet this showed minimal percentage area collagen gel reduction and was significantly different (P < 0.05) from all the other dressings tested throughout the experimental period. This dressing also caused a marked reduction in cell viability (eg, < 99%) over 96 hours, suggesting that there may be cellular/dressing interactions that were contributing to the observed effect.
The considerable differences in the fluid-handling capabilities of the dressings7 may have been another factor that influenced collagen gel contraction. For example, of the 2 foam dressings that were evaluated (ie, foam A and foam B), the latter was shown to induce a significantly greater (P < 0.05) percentage area collagen gel contraction and minimal effect on cell viability (Figure 2). One explanation could be due to the fact that foam A has been shown to handle approximately 4 times as much fluid as foam B.7 Under these experimental conditions, the increased absorbent capacity of foam A may lead to reduced fluid levels within the collagen gel, which in turn may reduce the ability of the fibroblasts to move, allowing contraction to take place. Consequently, this may explain the poor viability observed for this product at 96 hours (Figure 2).
Although 2 of the nonwoven dressings (B and C) have similar silver content,7 their influence on collagen gel contraction and subsequent cell viability were markedly different. Nonwoven C was shown to have a significantly greater area reduction and viability profile than nonwoven B, and again, this could be due to differences in the physical structure of each dressing. Nonwoven C is a blended calcium alginate-carboxymethylcellulose fiber with metallic silver coated onto nylon fiber, whereas nonwoven B is a calcium alginate dressing coated with metallic silver. In these experiments, it was observed that some of the metallic-coated fibers of nonwoven B became detached from the dressing. The detachment of fibers and possible displacement of metallic silver particles may explain the reduced area collagen gel contraction and low cell viability seen with nonwoven B compared with nonwoven C.
The remaining 2 dressings tested, nonwoven A and gauze, were associated with the best rates of collagen gel contraction and along with nonwoven C and foam B indicated a good cell viability count of > 70% after 96 hours. Nonwoven A and gauze were shown not to be significantly different from each other, although nonwoven A was significantly different from all the other dressings tested (P > 0.05), while nonwoven C, foam B, and gauze were shown to be significantly different from all other tested dressings. The gauze dressing is coated in a petrolatum paste that contains hydrocolloid and silver sulfadiazine particles, and while it has minimal fluid-handling capabilities,7 it is likely to conform well to the collagen gel surface without appearing to compromise the fibroblast activity. Nonwoven A is a 100% sodium carboxymethylcellulose dressing that has been shown to have good absorbency and fluid retention properties7 and when hydrated forms a cohesive gel structure that provides excellent conformability.10
The fibroblast-seeded collagen gel model has been shown to be effective in evaluating the effect of silver-containing dressings on fibroblast contraction and viability. Using a physiologically relevant hydrating medium (ie, saline), the in-vitro toxic effects exerted by silver-containing dressings have been shown to be variable. Such effects may be associated with both the active agent and the physicochemical properties of the different dressings. In particular, nonwoven A, nonwoven C, foam B, and the impregnated gauze dressing were shown to be least detrimental to cells involved in this in-vitro study.
These results have provided further evidence that dressing selection should not be based on one particular attribute but that dressing choice should be based on the overall characteristics of a dressing, such as its antimicrobial, fluid handling, physical, and chemical properties.

Womens Evening Shoes
Party season is nearly upon us and the time of year when we seductively undo a couple of buttons of our inhibitions, glam it up to the max and party, party, party. So as Boots run their Here Come the Girls ads and everyone gasps at the pretentious lengths fragrance commercials reach in the run up Christmas. And once Slade start to creep up the charts you know it is time to start thinking about that all important party outfit. Tis the season to not only be jolly but put on your party shoes and hit the dance floor like your life depends on it. So as you work out what to wear remember the all important question what do you need apart from a killer outfit? Killer accessories, of course. And the queen of accessories? Thatll be your shoes, then.
When it comes to dressing for the occasion ladies shoes can pretty much make or break an outfit and choosing the right pair can dress things up or dress them down depending on your mood, and the venue. Think strappy, sparkly heels to work that ever so sexy dress, jeans or leggings for that matter. Or try on trend flats and ballerinas for a casual and contemporary look. There is no end of choice at many stores like, for example, Wynsors World of Shoes, where you can shop to your hearts content. Try cage detail sandals with skyscraper heels to give an edgy and uber sexy look. Maybe diamante ballerinas are more your thing. Or maybe ladies court shoes suit your festive mood. Girls, you are in charge so if a style crossover works then get out there and work it.
Remember just about anything goes and everything works so long as you have the confidence to wear it and for this year it is all about sparkle; with sequins and metallics being much in evidence. From glittery adaptations on the little black dress through rock chic sequins leggings, T shirts and bat wing tops to full on coloured sequins sparkles. We also have a great range of ladies dress sandals that work also. But as purse strings, even sequins ones, are likely to be quite tight given the current economic climate one thrifty option would be to dress up an existing outfit with a bit of sparkle. Use a sequins shrug or a totally the thing you absolutely must be wearing a glittery boyfriend blazer, along with some couture style shoes from the high street. Hey presto youve updated one of your wardrobe classics ready for another set of works dos, family parties and random nights out with your friends.
It is widely recognised that Most dangerous by far is the works do; Littered as they are with potential faux pas moments and embarrassing meetings brought on by a heady cocktail of over exuberance booze and party tune favourites. Picture the scene you are stood there in your finery, having got changed in the loos at work, and you spot the guy you have been avoiding the gaze of since the last do where you got a bit tipsy and may just have danced in a slightly alluring manner towards, lets call him Steve from accounts, there ready to make his move in his ever so wacky Santa hat and Crimbo tie you get that primeval almost irresistible fight or flight urge. Resist both the desire to belt him and your twitching feet wanting propel you away from danger, chances are he will be asleep in the corner by 10.30 with said hat placed over his man area by his ever so wacky mates anyway. Add to that the danger of telling someone in senior management what you really think of them after one too many tequila slammers and you can see there is a potential social and career minefield unfolding before you.
But hey, you look good and the night is young and its nearly Christmas so brave the festive food, dismiss the unwanted advances and keep your corporate advice to yourself for the night so you can get out on the dance floor in your drop dead gorgeous heels or flats for that matter and party till the wee small hours.

Donald Goodrich Couldn't Take That IPhone One More Second
There are days when we'd all love nothing more than to do some serious damage to those devices that we all know and love. That mysterious whatever it is that led Elvis Presley to shoot his television has happened to all of us, and it just reared its ugly head again.
For Donald Goodrich, he just couldn't take his iPhone's antics one second longer. He stormed into his local Apple Store and insisted that the gadget had made him "so mad, (he) could pop a 9mm at it". That's a quote, except he used "I" where I have he. This by itself may not have been any big deal–if Apple Store employees haven't heard people threaten their devices before then they're clearly in the wrong line of business–but where Donald Goodrich went too far was in showing the 9mm handgun he was carrying at the time TO said Apple Store employee.
Goodrich was charged with "aggravated menacing and causing fear of harm" to the Apple Store worker, though I don't think he ever actually threatened the worker, just the iPhone. Plus there was a concealed weapons issue, but puzzling your way through a state's concealed weapon law is almost as tough as multivariable calculus.

Istanbul: East Meets West/ Europeans and Ottomans Listen to Each Other, 1500-1800
Presented by The Cambridge Society for Early Music and DUNYA Inc. at Salem Athenaeum
January 26, 2013
"You can't build a wall around music!" Six expert performers from Dünya, an adventurous early-music ensemble, will transport us to Istanbul in the 16th to 18th centuries, where currents from the East and West met and mingled. Unexpected encounters are portrayed, drawn from a wide array of materials: European travelers' accounts; the unique manuscript of a 17th-century Polish convert to Islam (a sultan's music director); popular, courtly, and religious music from East and West; and Ottoman music transcribed by Europeans. The performers sing and play an astonishing number of remarkable instruments, some lovingly recreated on the basis on miniature paintings from a lost world. They include the exotic Ottoman harp and the Turkish forerunner of the lute, as well as winds, viola da gamba, and percussion. "Dünya" means "World" in several languages. Joint us for a glimpse of the colorful world of old Istanbul! Reception follows.

Service as a Strategy
Friday Feb. 18, 2011
The unique, "old-fashioned" nature of mobank's commitment to customer service was the topic of a recent feature in the "Growth Strategies" section of the Kansas City Business Journal.
The article, written by reporter James Dornbrook and published Feb. 18, 2011, cited that mobank's culture "strives to take service above and beyond the competition" as primarily responsible for the bank's strongest decade of growth in its 125-year history.
The article quoted Sandy Moll, president of Olathe-based bank consultants Advanced Bank Solutions, saying mobank "looks like what community banks used to look like years ago. They have a high-touch approach."
mobank customer David Polivka of Polivka Studio credited the bank for "helping people like me … get into business and stay in business in the art, creative and architectural community" through programs such as mobank's Small Business Course and networking opportunities that encourage local small businesses to patronize each other.
President and CEO Grant Burcham told the publication "some of our best customers started out as people who needed someone to believe in their idea and their dream."

Poor waffle maker. It's been neglected for years. Tucked away in the dark abyss of a corner cabinet. But after today, no more. It's earned rockstar, front and center status thanks to this groovy groaty waffle recipe! This morning I tested it for the third time. And for the third morning in a row my kids gobbled them up. Served hot off the iron, they are crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. I actually prefer them to the egg batter Belgian waffles I used to make! They are more substantial and sustaining, like a hearty bowl of hot cereal, they stick to your ribs.
In this recipe I use buckwheat groats. My friend Kelly at The Spunky Coconut got me hooked on them (check out her recipe for Do-it-Yourself Cream of Buckwheat). Buckwheat is of NO relation to wheat, making it a safe choice for those with Celiac disease. It is actually a fruit seed (not a grain) and is related to rhubarb. Nutritionally, buckwheat provides vitamins B1 and B2, the minerals potassium, magnesium, phosphate and iron (buckwheat contains more iron than cereal grains), and has nearly twice the amount of the amino acid lysine found in rice. Buckwheat groats provide yet another way to sneak healthier, more wholesome ingredients into the everyday foods we enjoy.
If you are wondering what GFCFEF stands for, it's an acronym for gluten-free, casein-free, egg-free. As with 99% of the other recipes on this site, these waffles are also corn-free, soy-free, peanut-free, low in sugar and free of refined sugars.
Buckwheat Groats & Oats Waffles
Gluten-free, Dairy-Free, Egg-free, Nut-free, Soy-Free, Corn-Free, Easily Vegan
Makes: 4 Waffles
Add to high-powered blender in this order and blend on medium for 30 seconds or until smooth:
1-1/4 cup filtered WATER
2 tablespoons extra light OLIVE OIL
2 tablespoons runny HONEY (vegan dieters should use an alternative)
1 tablespoon VANILLA EXTRACT
1 tablespoon LEMON JUICE
15 drops SweetLeaf Vanilla Crème LIQUID STEVIA
1 cup gluten-free rolled OATS
3/4 cup BROWN RICE FLOUR
1/4 cup BUCKWHEAT GROATS
1/4 teaspoon SEA SALT
Add and blend 10 seconds. Then the fun part—watch it grow and expand:
1 tablespoon BAKING POWDER (make your own corn-free, aluminum-free baking powder)
Pour batter into heated waffle iron lightly coated with oil. Cook 5 minutes or to desired crispness.
Note: Waffles too light and airy? Funny thing happened the other day. It must have been my 6th or 7th batch of these. This time I used fresh lemon juice vs. bottled and found that the waffles were coming out a bit too light—to the point that I had to gingerly pick them out of the waffle iron. I have no idea what caused it. Even made a second batch to test and same thing. Was it the lemon juice or just the day? My only thought is that perhaps the fresh juice was more acidic and caused a greater reaction with the baking powder? I am no food scientist, just a guess. So if yours turn out too light and airy just give the blender carafe a firm tap or two on the counter—covered of course. This let's some of the air out of the batter and makes for a more manageable waffle.

Pete Carroll will get to test out his new toy for the first time on Sunday, with defensive end Cliff Avril expected to play against NFC West rival San Francisco.
However, the Seattle Seahawks' coach likely will not see Brandon Browner manning the right cornerback position of his talented secondary.
Carroll told reporters after practice on Friday that his team's top free-agent acquisition – Avril – should play for the first time this year on Sunday. He's been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury since training camp, missing all of exhibition play and Seattle's season-opening win at Carolina.
But, for Sunday, Avril is listed as probable on Seattle's injury report.
"He could have played last week," Carroll said. "Now he comes back and puts another week behind him, and went all the reps and took full-speed work. So we know he's ready to go."
Avril said he's looking forward to experiencing – and benefiting – from the noise created at CenturyLink Field.
"I can't wait just to get in front of the home crowd," he said. "Hopefully I can make a few big plays and just show them what I can bring to the team."
Along with Avril, tight end Luke Willson (oblique), offensive lineman Michael Bowie (shoulder), receiver Sidney Rice (knee), defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (ankle) and defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (groin) all fully participated in practice Friday and are probable for the Seahawks on Sunday.
McDaniel returned to practice after missing Thursday's workout.
The news on the injury front wasn't as good for Browner, who did not practice all week due to a hamstring injury, and likely will miss his second straight game.
Browner was listed as doubtful for Sunday.

Sometimes you just really have to party your genitals off. There's no way around it. You just have to let go of your schedule, your plans, your diet, your obligations, your whatever-the-hells and BLOW. IT. OUT.
I don't do this very often, primarily because I hate the anxiety, guilt-trips, hangovers and exhaustion that comes with the day-after. But a few times a year I act like I'm 18 and was just released from house arrest.
Once a year my L.A. Homitos and I go to one of the best parties ever conceivable—a roller skating party. A friend of ours rents out the entire roller rink and then a couple hundred of us show up in any and every form of ridiculous costume imaginable. It's so much better than Halloweiner because you don't have to be anything specific, you just go balls out, wearing whatever the hell you want. A moustache, a wig, and sequin pants? Perf. A captain's hat and a cape? Fab.
Oh, and it's BYOB. Yeeeaaah.
For me, it's not so much about the roller skating (but man, that's pretty awesome too), but about totally letting go and making an ass out of myself. Just for one night not taking everything so seriously.
This year, since I don't have a steady income, I was really reluctant to buy a new costume. In fact, I almost didn't. I tried on this dress that I immediately fell in love with (yards and yards of lace and pink ribbon—how could you not love that?), but the naggy fuddy-duddy in me put it back on the rack and left the store.
The next day I couldn't stop thinking about that acre of ribbon and lace absurdity. You know those items that you don't buy, but they continue to haunt you: "Oh sucka, I would've made you so happy!" That voice and the voices of my friends telling me to get my priorities straight (Pink dress vs. groceries? Pink dress absolutely.) incited me to go back and drop the 25 bones and make that little baby mine.
Best decision of my life.
It's sort of a cross between a square dancing outfit and the dress a Mexican girl would wear on her Quinceanera. Clearly I had to have it.
Everyone's costumes were nothing less than amazical and we all really let loose. I was up till 5am. I felt like a bag of horseshit the next day, but through the hangover, the wobbly legs and the lack of sleep, I felt a certain lightness. The lightness you only feel when you tell your inner fuddy-duddy to stop being such a controlling a-hole, drop the agenda, and let the girl in the pink ribbons and lace come out and play. Here's to blowin' it out.

Star Entertainment
History Man pays tribute to Bob Marley
History Man
Reggae artiste History Man is gearing up to release his highly anticipated music video for a timely piece entitled Bob Marley Story. The video was shot by popular video director, Asha, and according to the artiste it is no ordinary video.
"It is well put together. Asha and his team did a great job and the concept is thought, provoking, and as I would say, edutaining," said History Man.
According to History Man's publicist, Karl Durrant, releasing the video in February and the week that Bob Marley was born is a strategic move.
"History Man is an artiste who has brought his form of edutainment to stadiums, arenas, and clubs worldwide, so when he brought the song and video to me in January, immediately, and, almost automatically, I said to him that this should be released on Bob Marley's birthday as a gift to Bob Marley's fans and the world at large, and he agreed," stated Durrant.
The artiste, whose birth name is Andrew Kiffin, is currently working on an album, Chronology Vol. 1, which will be released late this month.
In recent times, History Man has been involved in charity projects in the Greenwich Farm community and the Mona Rehabilitation centre in Kingston.
"I also work with people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS," he said.
History Man is encouraging more of his peers to give back to the society as well as the music industry.
"Let's give back to those who have given to us so much. Let's do more live music, with positive messages and let's do more charitable efforts in an effort to grow our country, one drop of sweat at a time," History Man said.

Grau: Draining reserves to cover current costs a bad policy
It seems unbelievable and totally irresponsible but the Ventura City Council has been using reserves to pay for increasing current expenses.
Over a four-year period, the council has taken in excess of $10 million out of cash reserves and then decided to replenish them at dangerously low rates. A shell game that the taxpayers will eventually pay for.
In the last few years, despite declining revenue, the council authorized increased police and firefighter staffing, awarded enhanced public safety pension benefits and increased the number of paid vacation days at a combined cost approaching $3 million a year.
When City Council increased public safety payroll and benefits during the recession council members failed to ask the basic question, "where will the funds come from"?
The answer to the unasked question was, the city embarked on a program of quietly tapping into cash reserves allocated for other specific, much-needed programs.
In response to revelations reserves had been routinely used to balance budgets, Mayor Mike Tracy said, "I just don't think it's clear to me where the money was coming from to fill the gaps."
While elected officials rely heavily on staff for information, it is the job of the mayor and City Council to know where the money was coming from before they decided to spend it.
By our estimate, more than $10 million was diverted from three cash reserves: $4 million from workers' compensation, $4.5 million from employee benefits/vacation and $1.7 million from public liability reserves, all used to close budget gaps. Who allowed this to happen?
The city also developed a second even less transparent accounting scheme to divert cash from other reserves.
Rather than draw money from dwindling reserves, the city initiated a program of reallocating critical funds away from support departments such as information technology and facility maintenance to departments such as public safety.
The city recently admitted the information technology department is "seriously underfunded" and will have difficulty complying with new payroll and pension reporting requirements for the state.
So where is the city today? It still faces the $3 million a year increased expenses but reserves are dangerously depleted and many city departments have been, and remain, seriously underfunded.
Where is the money going to come from to fix it?
We think the City Council should consider rolling back increased payroll and benefits paid for with borrowed money. It should close the reopened Fire Station No. 4 once the federal grant to keep it open runs out and lay off the nine firefighters hired to run it.
The council should reverse its commitment to hire additional police officers. And it should urgently look at what is needed to prevent support departments such as information technology from collapsing.
City officials failed to recognize, or simply ignored, the increased liability exposure of using reserves as piggy banks while covering current costs.
The City Council must come up with a plan to re-establish reserves to required levels, bring spending down and regain public trust.

CANTON St. Lawrence County may change how it monitors its bed tax receipts, possibly using the county Chamber of Commerce to help with how much money is collected.
Last year, the county collected $369,000 in bed taxes, but this years figures may end up lower. County Treasurer Kevin M. Felt recently reported to legislators that receipts for the first three quarters of 2013 were $29,000 lower than for the same period last year.
Weve had others come in and tell us what a great year its been. Do we really know what were collecting? said Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg. Im not quite sure were doing the job we should to collect the bed tax.
The county requires those who rent beds such as motels, hotels, bed-and-breakfasts and homeowners to register with the treasurers office and turn in, on the honor system, the tax collected.
Theres no teeth, Mr. Felt said.
While legislators do not believe that businesses are collecting the money and keeping it, some wonder whether the tax is being remembered, or if new establishments know to collect the tax.
County legislators talked last year about ways to increase bed tax revenue, but decided to hold off until they saw what happened with an increase in the sales tax. While they have no plans to ask for an increase in the percentage of the bed tax, legislators would like to boost the amount received.
After initial talks several years ago with county officials, the Chamber informally was willing to have a more active role on the bed tax, as it is more familiar with those that rent rooms than the county is, Executive Director Patricia L. McKeown said.
The county annually gives the Chamber approximately $200,000 to promote tourism. If the Chamber were more involved with monitoring the bed tax, it could take its allocation from the collection of that money. The county and the Chamber could discuss an equitable split above that amount, Ms. McKeown said.
It would be a chance for us to make extra money and extra money for the county, Ms. McKeown said.

VIDEO: Firefighters battle Collier blazes throughout day
Three brush fires are burning in Lee and Collier Counties as winds fuel the flames
By ELYSA BATISTA and STEVEN BEARDSLEY
GOLDEN GATE ESTATES — Anxious Golden Gate Estates residents worried for their homes and loved ones Friday, as a wind-whipped brush fire threatened hundreds of properties before firefighters beat it back.
No one was injured in the blaze, which was 90 percent contained by evening, and structure damage was limited to a gutted storage shed.
The blaze was one of five brush fires in Collier County during the day. Another fire in Fort Myers occupied some Lee County units in the afternoon.
Firefighters don't know what sparked the Estates fire. It wasn't natural, said Department of Forestry spokesman Mike Weston.
As fire trucks pulled out of the area Friday night, residents returned home. The blaze, if a far cry from last June's 800-acre Estates fire that destroyed three homes, had been a frightening reminder of it.
"Utter panic," is how Tonya Cano, 36, of 68th Avenue Northeast, described receiving news of the fire. "I've actually lost a dog in a fire before. The thought of reliving it just really freaked me out."
"It was scary," said Yvonne Piedra, 29, who was inside her home on 70th Avenue when the fire began. "I didn't know until (my husband) called me."
Firefighters said they were prepared.
"We knew what we were getting into this year with the dry conditions, and, frankly, were ready for it," said Golden Gate fire spokesman Victor Hill.
The blaze threatened roughly 120 acres of pine- and palmetto-thick land at its height, said Division of Forestry spokesman Mike Weston. It was bound by lines at Immokalee Road, to the north, and Everglades Boulevard to the east. At its worst, the fire began "spotting," or pushing small burns, across Immokalee Road.
Firefighters estimated as many as 300 homes were endangered by the blaze.
It began at 68th Avenue Northeast about 1 p.m., and quickly worked its way north, fueled by high winds and the dry brush.
Firefighters soon closed Immokalee Road, employing it as a fire line, and requested help from across the area. As radio pages blared, 10 agencies from across Lee and Collier counties responded to join Forestry. Weston estimated that more than 100 personnel were on scene at the fire's height.
"We kept this fire a lot smaller than it should have been kept," he said.
Tractors created a fire line, and engines stood by with water. A Forestry helicopter made dozens of water drops over the burn in an effort to guide its direction, and firefighters stood sentry by endangered homes.
By late afternoon, the fire was 35 percent contained, its large column of smoke reduced to a haze.
Homes were surrounded by smoke, but flames rarely approached. Firefighters with engine-fed lines waited in yards for flames that occasionally sparked up.
Piedra, the homeowner caught inside her home when the fire began, said that when she first looked outside, smoke was thick, and the immediate future unclear. She started packing her bags and gathering keepsakes.
"You know, pictures, memories, that sort of thing," she said by phone.
Outside the perimeter established by fire officials, other homeowners gathered. Many had been at work when they received word of the fire, either through friends, family or the newspaper.
School buses unable to get inside the perimeter dropped off schoolchildren at Corkscrew Middle School.
Many adults, unsure whether the fire was near their homes, worried for pets.
Sonia Gonzalez, 60, worried about her Labrador-Chow mix and her Labrador Retriever, both who were in the backyard.
The area around her home offered a lot of fire fuel, she said. "I'm surrounded by trees, pine trees," she said. "Oh, my god."
"A lot of people are afraid right now," said Christina Johnson, 36, who was waiting to return to her home.
Last year's Golden Gate Estates fire began small but quickly whipped into an 800-acre conflagration. Although it affected an area south of Friday's fire-struck land, it was preserved in mind.
Cano, who had two dogs on 68th Avenue, said a family friend lost his home last year. She knows that little fires can quickly become big blazes.
"Still seeing the smoke flare up every now and then and feeling the wind shift makes me nervous," she said.
Firefighters left the scene Friday night, to return Saturday morning, Weston said. They expect to have the fire fully extinguished by the end of the day.
Staff writers Matt Clark and Kate Albers contributed to this report.

Firefighters are battling the fifth fire of the day in Collier County.
Just before 8 p.m. a half-acre blaze erupted behind an abandoned home off 13th Avenue Southwest on the west side of Collier Boulevard in Golden Gate Estates. The fire is under control, but firefighters are protecting an occupied home nearby.
"They got it knocked down pretty quickly," Golden Gate fire spokesman Victor Hill said.
The fourth fire of the day started just before 6 p.m. off a dirt road near the intersection of Collier Boulevard and Immokalee Road. That fire was only about a quarter acre.
"This is a consequence of the conditions the way they are," Hill said. "It's dry and it's windy, and today was not a good day for a fire."
"We were fortunate that we were able to get our resources on these fires very quickly," Hill said.
POSTED at 7 p.m
By 6:55 p.m. some of the Department of Forestry's tractors and other agencies fire units left the scene.
Hill cautioned that the area may remain smoky in parts of Everglades Boulevard and Immokalee Road.
POSTED at 6:35 p.m
The fire is 80 percent contained.
POSTED at 6:33 p.m
The mood of area residents improved as the day wore on Friday.
That was the case with Christina Johnson, 36, who found out about the fire as she was coming home on Immokalee Road.
"You couldn't see down the road," said Johnson describing the scene when she got to the intersection of Immokalee Road and Everglades Boulevard. "It was plumes and plumes of smoke."
That changed by late in the afternoon, when 35 percent fire was contained.
"I think the response has been great," said Johnson, while waiting at the intersection of 66th Avenue and Everglades Boulevard with her dog Coden, 1.
Johnson said she had been very lucky, because Coden had been with her.
"A lot of people are afraid right now," said Johnson, referring to several of her neighbors who were waiting to check up on pets stuck at home.
POSTED at 6:25 p.m
Everglades Boulevard is open to local traffic.
POSTED at 6 p.m
Immokalee Road is open, Golden Gate fire spokesman Victor Hill said. However, Everglades Boulevard is still shut between 66th Avenue Northeast and Immokalee Road.
Hill said another small fire erupted around 4 p.m. off Radio Road, near Woodside Lanes and the Sherwood neighborhood. That fire is less than two acres, but is expected to grow.
"It appears there is a homeless camp back there," Hill said. "The fire is being considered suspicious.
POSTED at 5:40 p.m
Immokalee Road has reopened, said Golden Gate Estates spokesman Victor Hill.
Parents of Corkscrew elementary or middle school students who normally ride buses 655, 731 or 733 home should pick their children up at the Corkscrew Middle School football field near the sheriff's office substation along Oil Well Road. The three buses were not able to transport students home because of a brush fire along Immokalee Road this afternoon. Authorities report that Immokalee Road is closed from Oil Well Road east to Camp Keais Road near Immokalee.
The Red Cross is currently operating a community shelter in the Corkscrew Middle School gym.
POSTED at 5 p.m
Officials have now downgraded the fire to only 80 acres.
Yvonne Piedra didn't know about the brush fire until her husband called her. She was at her home, on 70th Avenue and Everglades Boulevard.
She's currently next door with her neighbors, keeping an eye on the situation and preparing to leave if needed.
Luckily, things are looking pretty good. She can see smoke and firetrucks, but no open flames, she said by phone.
Piedra, 29, packed her bags when she first heard.
"You know, pictures, memories, that sort of thing," she said.
Sonia Gonzalez, who lives near Piedra, on Everglades and 70th, is on the other side of the fire boundary, waiting outside a deputy barrier with other homeowners.
She's worried about her dogs, a Labrador-chow mix and purebred retriever.
"They told me it's okay," she said. "But my dogs are in the backyard. That's what's important."
Adding to the creepiness is a dream Gonzalez, 60, had last night, in which a neighbor's house burned down.
When she heard about today's fire, she rushed down from her hairdresser job in Bonita Springs.
Fire officials say her home shouldn't be in danger. The blaze is already 35 percent contained, they say.
Still, it's never easy knowing you have pets in potentially in harms way. And her home is in a thicket of woods, she said.
"I'm surrounded by trees, pine trees," Gonzalez said. "Oh my god."
Parents of Corkscrew elementary or middle school students who normally ride buses 655, 731 or 733 home should pick their children up at the Corkscrew Middle School football field near the sheriff's office substation along Oil Well Road. The three buses were not able to transport any students home because of a brush fire along Immokalee Road. Immokalee Road is closed from Oil Well Road east toward Immokalee.
POSTED at 4:45 p.m
About 40 Corkscrew elementary and middle school students remain at Corkscrew Middle School waiting for parent pick up. The three buses that were being held at Corkscrew because of a brush fire along Immokalee Road - buses 655, 731 and 733 - have left the school now and are on their routes taking students home. Students who live in areas transportation officials deemed as not passable because of the fire are the ones remaining at the school. Again, that's about 40 students total.

Smoke continued to smother the area surrounding what is now a 300-acre fire.
"We were able to hold it along Everglades Boulevard and holding it south of Immokalee Road," said Michael Weston, with the Department of Forestry.
Weston said 10 fire rescue districts are fighting the blaze, including Big Corkscrew, Department of Forestry, East Naples, Golden Gate, Immokalee and the South Lee Strike Team. The Collier County Sheriff's Office are also on the scene.
Five agencies from Lee and five from Collier plus DOFM so 11 in total.
Hill, said the fire is now 35 percent contained and 20 homes were immediately threatened.
POSTED at 3:40 p.m
Homes inside a stretch between 68th and 70th avenues are endangered, according to Hill. As of yet, none have caught fire. A shed has burned, however.
Earlier, firefighters could be heard on the radio warning that homes on 72nd Avenue needed protection.
The fire has moved in a northeast direction since beginning this afternoon, Hill. An afternoon sea breeze, which would move from the west, could complicate things further, he added.
As it stands, Everglades Boulevard is blocked at the intersection of 66th Avenue., just south of the fire's origin, around 68th
"We're making positive progress on the fire," said Hill.
School buses are also being diverted to Corkscrew Middle. No mandatory evacuations, Hill said, voluntary evacuations only.
Some homeowners are staying inside, Hill said. Others can be seen at the 66th Ave. barrier, awaiting news.
A Collier County deputy stopped Paul and Marcela Zapata from going to their home, which is between 68th and 70th avenues.
"He said it was a lot of smoke, but right now houses," Paul said.
"I'm worried about my dog," Marcela said.
At 3:30 p.m., Ave Maria residents and a university spokesman said the town and school were unaffected by the fire.
POSTED at 3:15 p.m
"Our goal is to keep this west of Everglades Boulevard and south of Immokalee Road," saidVictor Hill during a press briefing, adding that there are roughly 300 homes in the area. "We've got crews from Lee County and Collier County actively battling the fire."
Hill said the cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
POSTED at 3 p.m
For resident David Eartly, 67, whose home is off 70th Avenue NE the waiting hasn't been too bad.
But he's hoping to avoid the worst.
"I'm hoping they control it and prevent the houses from being destroyed," said Eartly while waiting at the intersection of 66th and Everglades Boulevard.
According to Victor Hill, most of the county's fire districts have units at the scene- which include 7 tractors and 1 helicopter- and there has been some damage.
"We've lost a shed," said Hill.
POSTED at 2: 30 p.m
Golden Gate Fire spokesman Victor Hill said Immokalee Road is shut down from Everglades Boulevard to Oill Well Road. In addition, fire helicopters have arrived on the scene.
The fire continued to grow. The dry and windy conditions are being cited as the reasons behind the 50-acre fire's quick spread. Traffic heading north on Everglades Boulevard is being diverted at 66th Avenue.
POSTED at 2 p.m
At 2 p.m. it is unclear how large the fire is, said Michael Weston, senior forester for the Florida Division of Forestry.
"It's moving fast, so there are structures threatened," Weston said. "We're not going to get an update on that for a little while."
Weston said the fire was first called in from an address at 6695 Everglades Boulevard.
"We have three tractors that are on the fire and we're starting to pull more down to it," he said. "We're getting ready to launch our helicopter."
POSTED at 1:35
A quick moving brush fire is making its way through parts of Golden Gate Estates this afternoon.
The fire, which is being handled by Big Corksrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District, started off Everglades Boulevard and 66th Avenue NE, but now has spread to 70th Avenue NE.
According to officials there are homes potentially in danger.

A brush fire is burning on an acre at the intersection of Metro Parkway and Crystal Drive in Fort Myers, according to a Division of Forestry spokesman.
Buildings are nearby, the spokesman said, but the fire was expected to be knocked out momentarily. Firefighters with the Division of Forestry and South Trail Fire Department are on scene.
POSTED at 12:10
The brush fire in Immokalee was down to 15-acres.
According to Immokalee Fire officials, three Immokalee units and three Department of Forestry units responded to the fire off Lake Trafford Road and Pepper Road at 10 p.m. Thursday night.
"Nothing is immediately at risk," said Michael Weston, a senior forester with the Florida Division of Forestry.

Carbon County Recreation is currently taking registrations for their youth basketball programs that will begin in November.
Junior Jazz will dominate CCR's winter lineup. There are separate leagues for both boys and girls beginning in the third grade and continuing through 12th grade. According to Assistant Director Frank Ori, parents should sign their children up as soon as possible. "Gym space is becoming more and more limited. We find ourselves scheduling and rescheduling time after time with the different schools trying to accommodate as many activities as possible. If I were a parent I would sign my child up as soon as possible. Some leagues can accommodate a limited number of kids due to gymnasium restrictions so sign up today." The deadline for registration for children grades third to sixth grade is Nov. 3. Volunteer coaches and scorekeeper are also needed for Junior Jazz.
Kindergarten first grade instructional basketball and second grade developmental basketball will begin in early January. K-1 instructional basketball will be one day a week at each of the various elementary schools in the district. Here is a list of where the K-1 league will be each day of the week. Sally Mauro will be on Mondays, Wellington and Pinnacle Canyon on Tuesdays, Castle Heights on Wednesdays, and Creekview on Thursdays. Children go right after school for one hour on the day that corresponds to their school. Participants learn the fundamentals of the game, team concepts and sportsmanship.
The second grade developmental league will be held on Saturdays starting in January. This will be a co-ed league. This will be many children's first opportunity to be on a real team. We do not keep score in this league and focus on fundamentals and learning the game. Kids will meet and have a practice for a half hour before their game each Saturday. The league is seven weeks long. Volunteer coaches are also needed for this league.
Registrations can be made in person at CCR's office located at 81 N 200 E in the Community Development Complex or by mail at P.O. Box 793 Price, Utah 84501. You can also register by phone with a credit card.
If you would like more information about Jr. Jazz you can call 636-3702 or check out their Web site at www.carbonrec.com.

Archive for the 'Chryslre Custom Imperial' tag
Bagged and tagged: Graham's Chrysler Imperial
In the comments to yesterday's Hemmings Find of the Day 1972 Chrysler Imperial, commenter Graham Lloyd made mention of the 1954 Chrysler Custom Imperial that he recently bagged. "Nice original, well kept car with 46,000 on it," Graham wrote. "Every bit as nice as any other luxury car from the era, but a third the price of anything else."
That alone is enough to grab our attention. Chrysler built just 5,659 Custom Imperials that year (and another 100 Crown Imperials), of which 4,324 were four-door sedans, and all of which had the 235hp, 331-cu.in. Hemi V-8. But Graham found something unusual on the cowl: a tag that read "Customer Driveaway." We both presume it means that the original owner of the Imperial took factory delivery of the car, so it would have been picked up in Detroit, the only one of Chrysler's two assembly plants that built the Imperial in 1954.
Can any Chrysler or Imperial experts confirm the meaning of that tag? And does anybody know how common it was to pick up your new car at the factory rather than at the dealership back then?
