America loves its trucks, perhaps to an unhealthy degree.
Domestic automakers aren't complaining, as pickups are among the most profitable vehicles the companies can produce. Compared to cars, trucks are typically easier to manufacture, but fetch a higher price. Tack on costly options and the expensive trim levels the market seems to adore, and you've practically printing your own money.
Still, you might be surprised by the percentage of buyers springing for top-end variants of vehicles once loved only by construction companies, public works departments and landscapers. (Read More…)

Commuters and day trippers can glimpse the future of travel.
First Capital Connect (FCC), the company which runs the trains through Sandy, Biggleswade and Arlesey, has released a video showing a carriage being stripped out and refurbished.
The video shows a Class 365 train going through the refresh programme, worth in excess of £31 million for the entire fleet. The seats are removed, doors unhooked and the carpet pulled up to leave an empty train shell.
The viewer sees the exterior repainted in a new livery and new-look features fitted. Engineers working on the two year project also explain their work.
The refresh programme will see all 40 Class 365 trains, which operate on the Peterborough, Cambridge and King's Lynn routes to London King's Cross updated with fresh seat upholstery, new flooring, refurbished finishes and a new, striking livery.
Each train has also been through a major engineering overhaul to maintain its levels of reliability.
The work, funded by Eversholt Rail, the company that leases the trains to FCC, is being carried out by Bombardier Transportation at a workshop in Essex.
Recently the third refreshed train re-entered service. Upgrading each train requires 560 hours to refurbish all the seats, 200 square metres of new flooring and a total of 150 new light bulbs.
FCC's managing director, David Statham, said: "This video is a unique insight into this multi million pound project.
"It will allow our passengers who use these trains to see the complexity of the project and the hard work carried out by the skilled workers at Bombardier to deliver such a fantastic result.
"We are excited about the extra improvements that will soon be added to the trains including a wheelchair accessible toilet and LED lighting."
Francis Paonessa, Managing Director UK for Bombardier Transportation added:
"It has been great for our team at Ilford to be involved in this film, which illustrates the extent of skilled work behind the scenes in introducing new interiors and additional features on the Class 365 trains, making them more comfortable, accessible and reliable for passengers."

George Mason -- who? -- basks in spotlight
Back to back marquee victories in the NCAA tournament has brought George Mason coach Jim Larranaga and his Patriots satisfaction. (AP Photo)
Don't know much about George Mason's basketball team? How about the school itself? Or the man for whom it was named?
The 11th-seeded Patriots' run to the round of 16 at the NCAA Tournament is helping answer those questions.
For coach Jim Larranaga, victories over sixth-seeded Michigan State and defending champion North Carolina, a No. 3 seed, bring professional satisfaction -- not to mention a great recruiting tool.
But to Larranaga and others around the tree-lined campus in the Washington suburb of Fairfax, Va., they signify something larger.
''What it really means," Larranaga said yesterday, sitting in his office at the on-campus Patriot Center, ''is people will find out more about George Mason."
And then he proceeded to rattle off facts. Not about his so-called ''mid-major" basketball program, mind you, but about the university itself, pointing out the law school's growing reputation, for example, and boasting that 2002 Nobel economics prize winner Vernon Smith is a Mason professor.
To Lamar Butler, a senior guard who led the Patriots (25-7) with 18 points against the Tar Heels, it means overdue recognition for a league (the Colonial Athletic Association) that hadn't earned two NCAA berths in 20 years.
''People said they feel like they go to a real university now," Butler said after enjoying plenty of pats on the back and shouts of congratulations while walking to class yesterday morning.
His path might have taken him past the bronze statue of George Mason himself, which someone adorned with a green, gold, and white team jersey.
The statue's right hand sits atop a pile of books by thinkers Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and David Hume. The left, into which was tucked a green and gold pompon yesterday, holds a copy of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which Mason, a slave owner, wrote in 1776 and was the model for the Constitution's Bill of Rights.
To dean of admissions Andrew Flagel and athletic director Tom O'Connor, the basketball success means a chance to let all sorts of potential students hear more about a school that began as an offshoot of the University of Virginia in the 1950s, became its own university only in 1972, and has grown quickly into the largest public four-year school in the state, with about 30,000 students.
''The exposure is terrific. It's great brand identity for the school," O'Connor said.
For the record, Mason's main campus (there are three other outposts) is about 6 miles off the Beltway, the highway that loops around DC. The Fairfax campus is 21 miles from the
There has been a concerted effort on Larranaga's part to increase the local fan base; last season, the team drew an average of fewer than 4,000 spectators to the 10,000-seat Patriot Center. That improved to 4,533 this season, perhaps thanks to Larranaga and players spending time each week speaking with student groups to drum up interest.
''We're big time now," said Michael LaRosa, a junior communications major.
Before last week, the Patriots never had won an NCAA Tournament game. They came close in 2001 as the CAA champions but were edged by Maryland, 83-80, in the first round.
''The night we lost to Maryland," Larranaga recalled, ''I was in bed, thinking, 'How would it have been if we won?'
''Now I know."

I had two vials of Sculptra 7 months ago and now my left cheek is bigger than my right. Once the collagen is dissolved will the size difference even out or are my facial proportions going to remain uneven?
Does Sculptra Results Even Out?
Doctor Answers 5
Facial Asymmetry and Sculptra
Facial asymmetry prior to any treatments or surgery is very common. Sculptra, fat grafting and other methods can be used to improve facial symmetry. It is recommended to be evaluated and discuss your concerns with your physician.
It would be a good idea to compare the results you have now to a photo of yourself just prior to your treatment. This way you can see if there was some facial asymmetry prior to treatment, which is common. It may be possible to do some filler treatment to make things more symmetric. I would encourage you to follow-up with your physician to discuss your options.
Uneven results after Sculptra
It's important to point out any presence of asymmetry prior to your Sculptra treatment. Most if not all of my patients present with some asymmetry on their face and Sculptra can be used to minimize it. Another possibility is uneven distribution of Sculptra during treatment. It's impossible to comment without photos and examination. The effect of Sculptra can be quite long lasting which is one of the benefits of Sculptra. Temporarily you may be able to balance out your asymmetry with short term fillers, especially if the asymmetry is significant and obvious.
Best Wishes,
You might also like...
Sculptra Asymmetry
Before you received Sculptra, did you have any pictures taken? I ask that because most patients who are beginning the volumization process to the face need baseline pics taken and a discussion of the fact we all have asymmetry to our faces which is normal. Fillers and collagen stimulators can improve that imbalance or can inadvertently accentuate it. I tell my patients that what you see is what you get with Sculptra usually at the 2 month mark. If there is asymmetry, it can be addressed with addtional product to the side that didn't volumize as much in order to even things out over time. And as an answer to your question, yes the volumizing and and additional structure created with Sculptra will ultimately disappear. It could be several years. Talk to the doctor who injected you in the first place and I am sure you can find an agreeable solution..
Uneven after Sculptra
There are several issues that could be affecting your uneven appearance following your Sculptra treatment. One question is, were you symmetric (or even in appearance) before you had the Sculptra treatment? Many people do not realize that they are naturally uneven before a filler treatment or surgery. When Sculptra, or other fillers are used, they can be placed differently on each side to try and make the face more symmetric. At 7 months after your treatment, you would be seeing the full effect from your treatment. Since you feel that it's now uneven, I would return to your treating physician to be evaluated. It's possible that something can be done to make your cheeks more symmetric. Normally, it can take 2-4 years for the effect from Sculptra to go away.

A man-made plague has swept the Earth, but a small group survives, along with the green-eyed Crakers - a gentle species bio-engineered to replace humans. Toby, one-time member of the Gods Gardeners and expert in mushrooms and bees, is still in love with street-smart Zeb, who has an interesting past.
The Crakers' reluctant prophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer attack; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox, who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile, giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack.

"The best book of the trilogy!"
So many trilogies you only finish because you want "the conclusion" having long since ceased to be gripped by an author's increasingly long winded narration; not Atwood! This was my favourite of the three books (although probably my least favourite reading); highly recommended.
"Best of the three"
I struggled with the first two audio books, not with the stories but with the way they were written. I found them slow and stilted. However, this third story flew by. I really enjoyed it and felt completely invested in the story and the characters. The narration is excellent.
"whacky and wonderful"
A fascinating and witty end to the trilogy and brilliantly read audiobook version. Atwood is still my favourite author and that was a brilliantly insightful dystopian novel.
"great conclusion to a great trilogy"
Good read although slightly slow beginning. worth sticking to it though! intriguing end of trilogy
"From dystopia to utopia"
The third instalments of the MaddAdamm trilogy does not disappoint. I was thoroughly engrossed and hope there will be a fourth book. I would love to meet the Crakers again 50 years into the future.
I have found these books a bit heavy going at times but always worth the wait. the narrators were wonderful, especially the young man that narrated blackbeard so perfectly. favourite moment, when the pigoons carried snowman the.jimmy. I was almost.in tears by the end.
"Simple story with fairly interesting characters"
The background is pretty simple with the narrative explaining past events in a series of recounted stories without any substantial twists and turns. A couple of the characters are explored but I was felt feeling that something was missing from the book besides the deliberately unexplained. Not as good as some of the other works.
"Great book, uneven quality of narration"
A wonderful, engaging tale pinned down with some deeply interesting and funny thought experiments. What would it be like to explain modern humanity to a stone age person? How does a religion get invented by a group without even them realising it's fiction?
In some fields of learning and research the biggest institutions are companies not universities. Which and how many areas of knowledge would companies need to get private monopoly on for them to take over the USA? How about healthcare/drug companies?
The female narrator, Bernadette Dunne, was great. The male narrator had a striking voice but a bad reader. Seemed to think that ending every sentence with the same rising inflection is a cool, stoical device rather than a transparent cover for the fact he has little idea what he's reading.
Still, the switching between voices is cool and helpful and in all, a great audiobook.
smiles better
"Utopia or dystopia ? Insights into humanity"
Being made to think about the effects of society upon innocence and the interplay of the characters coming at the same events from different angles and their own viewpoints and priorities.
This is a sequel to Oryx and Craik by the same author and develops the possible consequences of that story.
Not aware that I have heard the same narrators elsewhere, but important that the three voices are given and used as the converging perspectives of the events are important in deducing the story and context. Well voiced and characterised, particularly Bernadette Dunne.
Amusing, disturbing, thought provoking, shaming, celebrating, humbling, edifying can all be applied. I laughed at the beginning and cried at the end.
Can stand alone, but better if have first assimilated Oryx and Craik, or better yet Margaret Attwood's other dystopian mirrors on ourselves.
"Very Good Book and Performance"
I liked the performance and having different narrators. I love Margaret Atwood books and this is the first one I have listened to. Not disappointed.

Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012 | 10:46 p.m.Now that Cirque du Soleil has said it's shuttering its Zaia show in Macau, the question is: How can this gambling mecca broaden its appeal if it can't hold on to an established entertainment brand that's successful in the West? Las Vegas has reinvented itself as a tourist destination with dozens of big-budget, live entertainment options. Visitors can see multiple Cirque du Soleil shows, as well as regular performances by the likes of Celine Dion, Elton John and Rod Stewart. Macau's two show offerings (Zaia and the House of Dancing Water) pale in comparison — even though its gambling revenue far surpasses what the Strip generates.
Why Macau tourists didn't flip for Cirque du Soleil

New Jersey-based cinematographer, visual artist and editor Jim Geduldick (@FilmBot) previously worked as a professional snowboarder, so his work on the feature documentary Snow Guardians combines two of his strongest passions. Geduldkick, who served as editor, postproduction supervisor and one of many videographers on the film, is eager to see it come out because he's proud of the work everyone involved put into the project and because it covers its topic from an unusual perspective.
Jim Geduldick shooting RED
Produced and directed by the successful documentary photograher Carson Garner (@F9photo), Snow Guardians focuses on the rescuers and ski patrollers who help keep winter sports enthusiasts out of danger — and come to the rescue when things go wrong. "You see documentaries about avalanches and how they can kill you, or stories about people being rescued," Geduldick says, "but they don't talk about the people who do the rescuing, and that's what Snow Guardians is all about: the actual people behind the rescues and the people educating about avalanches and safety on mountain."
Geduldick segued into a filmmaking career by capturing cool snowboarding and skateboarding maneuvers. He developed on his own, teaching himself editing, visual effects and graphic design and bringing those skills to a variety of projects, including music videos and commercials. His arsenal of tools included Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.
Snow Guardians came about in an unusual way: Videographer Tyler Ginter (@tylerginter) started tweeting about the idea for the project, and soon an entire crew came together via Twitter. "A lot of us met through Twitter, and we all were interested in making a film about this subject," Geduldick recalls. "We had people of all levels, from novices to ski patrollers, people who live on the snow. We wanted to get people involved and get a crazy amount of gear and see what we could do. That's where the whole www.collaborativefilm.org site came from. We didn't have much of a budget. A lot of us decided to just fly ourselves out to Montana and go it alone. People shot. We pulled focus for one another. Everybody pitched in."
John Bregel and Kahlid Mohtaseb shooting DSLR
Many productions these days use a mixture of camera technologies, but Snow Guardians might set some kind of record. The team went to the mountain locations with a whole slew of cameras. Geduldick says, "We had two [MX] REDs, which are great because you can shoot at 4K at up to 120fps and you have a RAW codec that gives you a lot of room to push the look around during color grading. We shot most of the interviews with Panasonic AG-AF100s. We did a lot of work with multiple Canon EOS 5D, 7D and 1D Mk IVs, which are so small and light and give that shallow depth of field. We used those for some interview work, too, and we did a little bit of 60fps shooting with the 7D for slow motion. We brought 18 of the really tiny GoPro cameras, which were great for mounting to a helmet, a ski patroller's chest, a rescue dog or a snowmobile."
With all those cameras, Geduldick, as editor and post supervisor, naturally had to work with quite a mixture of codecs, including .r3d, H.264 and AVC-Intra. He has used quite few NLEs over the years, and while he loved the effects and graphics packages from Adobe, he hadn't done much in Premiere Pro because he didn't feel it had the total toolset he needed.
Jim Geduldick with RED MX on a snowboard dolly at the mountain peak
That all changed when he saw Premiere Pro in Adobe CS5 Production Premium software. One of the first things that caught his attention was its native workflow of so many different codecs. "When I first saw the tech preview, I wondered how they could play back streams of RED, AVC-Intra, H.264," he recalls. "I asked if they translated the footage into a lighter-weight codec first, and they explained that this was material taken right off the cards. There was no transcoding. In fact, they could play it right from the card that came out of the camera. Adobe Premiere Pro is the fastest of all the nonlinear editors currently to get that kind of raw support for codecs. For post, that's a big thing, not having to transcode anything.
"The Mercury Playback Engine is a huge thing, too," he adds, noting that his Mac Pro is outfitted with an Nvidia Quadro 4000 card. The Mercury Playback Engine working in combination with the Nvidia card "really cuts down on render time. I can drop multiple color-correction effects or other effects into a shot or sequence and play it back in real time, or very close to real time — not having to wait around for it to render is a huge time-saver. Since I'm also using After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator for titling and visual effects, I was very happy to have Dynamic Link, which lets me move seamlessly from one application to another."
John Bregel with DSLR rig
Geduldick used Premiere Pro from the start of shooting. Footage would come in on a variety of drives and cards, and he would work on Apple Mac Pros and MacBook Pros and carefully input all data onto a variety of RAID configurations. "I set up a structure by camera, date, and person shooting and labeled each card," he says of his rigorous methodology designed to keep track of every bit of material shot. "I set up a script to batch everything into folders. I could drop footage into a Premiere Pro timeline to take a look at something and verify what we had. With so much material coming in certain days, it would have been very difficult if I had to transcode it all!"
The shooting could be grueling. Snow is one of the toughest conditions for a digital sensor, of course, because of the incredible contrast. The shooting teams generally used ND filters to help with some of the reflections from the snow, and they brought a variety of tungsten and custom LED lighting to provide a small amount of fill. "We couldn't bring big HMIs or anything like that," Geduldick says, "but with the modest lighting packages we had, talented people shooting and some very good sensors in these cameras, we were able to get amazing material to work with."
Timing was always of the essence, he adds. "The light changes very quickly, and you have to be flexible when shooting something like this. When magic hour comes, it comes, and then it goes away really quickly, so if you want to shoot something in that light, you have to be set up and ready to go when it happens."
Many of the effects Geduldick is working on for Snow Guardians involve still photographs captured concurrent with the video shoot. He will be using stills and pieces of stills for some After Effects work; he'll also be using After Effects to build time-lapse sequences from the stills. For the time-lapse work, he made extensive use of Lightroom to catalog, edit and select shots, and Photoshop to color correct, augment and sometimes break elements of photos into layers. "I love that I can create layers in Photoshop and then just link to them in After Effects!" he enthuses. "It's part of Dynamic Link in Production Premium, and it works really well with all the products within the suite."

Les Grenadiers (Haiti) will play Trinidad & Tobago on December 7, Dominican Republic on December 9, and hosts Antigua & Barbuda on December 11.
The top two teams from each group will reach the knockout phase (semifinals) and clinch a spot in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The semifinals are scheduled for December 14 with the third place and final set for December 16.

SAN FRANCISCO --A hearing was held Monday to determine if a key piece of evidence can be used against an Internet mogul charged with domestic violence.
Gurbaksh Chahal, 31, is accused of repeatedly beating his girlfriend in his Rincon Hill apartment in San Francisco during a heated argument last August.
The incident was captured on Chahal's home security camera, but the defense wants that evidence thrown out.
Chahal founded several online advertising companies and has sold them for more than $300 million.

If Keenan Allen had any doubts that the Raiders are the bad guys where the Chargers and their fans are concerned, he no longer does. Following his fashion faux pas, the rookie has retired his Raiders cap.
"I'm sorry about it," said a sheepish Allen on Monday.
On Saturday, while going out for a burger, the 21-year-old Tweeted a photo of himself wearing a Raiders cap.
Chargers fans, he said, let him know what they thought of the fashion choice.
"I didn't think it would have the effect that it did have, but obviously it did," he said. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I wasn't thinking about it at the time. I wasn't actually thinking about football at all. I was just going to grab a bite to eat."
Allen said Chargers safety Eric Weddle "gave me the rundown" before Monday's practice.
"It won't happen again," the receiver said.
While Allen was breezing through a one-minute chat with reporters, another rookie, Manti Te'o, was off limits to them. Rookie head coach Mike McCoy hasn't allowed Te'o, 22, to talk to reporters since full-squad practices began last Monday. McCoy, for what it's worth, said he was unaware that Te'o attended a Hollywood party last Wednesday that generated a lot of positive publicity for the linebacker.

Before mom and baby undergo fetal surgery we need to make sure they are both as safe as possible. We use the practices from and results of the MOMS Trial (Management of Myelomeningocele) as our guide for fetal myelomeningocele repair surgery. One of the requirements for the surgery during the study was a normal fetal neuroanatomical exam. Babies who are without a corpus callosum were not included in the study, so there is not enough research to prove the safety and effectiveness of the surgery for them.
The corpus callosum is the bundle of fibers that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain. These fibers allow the two sides of the brain to communicate with each other. In rare cases a baby does not develop a corpus callosum. These children, when born and mature, possess a spectrum of clinical presentations: normal to severe mental/motor handicaps. At this juncture in fetal imaging, we are not able to tell the difference in how a child without a corpus callosum will develop. This is the primary reason for not offering prenatal repair.
This is one of the things that doctors usually look for during an ultrasound at 18 at 22 weeks gestation. If during the ultrasound it appears that the corpus callosum is missing, a fetal MRI can help confirm the diagnosis. The exact cause is unknown, but research suggests that chromosomal errors, genetics, toxic exposure, cysts, prenatal infections or metabolic disorders may contribute to the lack of the corpus callosum. It is thought that the disruption in development of the corpus callosum happens sometime during the fifth to sixteenth week of pregnancy.
The National Organization for Disorders of the Corpus Callosum is a good resource for those looking for additional information about the lack of a corpus callosum.

Discussion in 'Mock Draft Talk' started by Wolf, Jan 9, 2010.
Whole lot of $ for a DT who you admit will be a 2 play per series guy. I really wanted a big old DT to stop the run but it appears the guys we have have done the trick. I will be surprised if a Dlineman is selected before the 5th if at all. I think we get one in free agency and I have Richard Seymour from Oakland.

Some Of The Funniest Notes Written By Kids In 2013
Kids are funny, even when they're not really trying to be. Sometimes it's just pure brilliance, but kids have a way of saying things in ways we can't. Don't believe me? Check out this collection from around the internet of some the funniest notes written by kids in 2013. What's crazy is as I was looking at them, one of them looked VERY familiar.

A good mirrorless camera always comes in handy. Our recommendation this season is Sammy's new flagship model in the NX series. Boasting stellar picture quality, dope wi-fi features (photo sharing, hotspot), and an alluring retro-design—the NX300 is an all-around performer that combines functionality with style. It's the first shooter to tackle a 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D lens, adding third-dimensional photos and videos into the mix and executing both formats well. Speed is where the NX300 excels best snapping an est. 16 JPG shots at 7.2 frames per second.

If this is in regards to my recent post on 100% compliance, It is strictly in regards to food rules as set forth in SCD I & II or Last Mile and eating 30g protein within 30 minutes of waking up. Pills / ice water / cold therapy / squats etc are all in subsequent chapters and become things for you to test. (Though the extras all work very well.) The two weeks I compared in my post, the greater weight loss had none of the extras (except cinnamon oil)...while the first had them all: PAGG, ice water, cold therapy, squats, cinnamon, grapefruit, even kombucha etc...
so can someone break down the 100% compliance?
i've got the foods down I can and can't eat..it's all the other stuff..
ice water on first waking,
pills before meals,
air squats,presses before meals and after
cold thearpy
drinking grapefruit juce before 2nd meal of day on cheat day
is there a simple this is what you do page because reading all this in the book seems to get lost on me when i come to applying it.
The Best Answer
It can definitely be overwhelming to try to follow everything in the book all at once. Maybe you could be the one to compile the list of things to do as you read, then share it here. That would be awesome, and eliminate a lot of confusion.
In the meantime, if you are feeling overwhelmed, you could try just getting the diet down, then incorporate one new thing per week.
Thanks Justin, Yes, I was referring to your post
This is what I'm doing Wired. I just add one thing a week.
I did as 42Wired suggested, and compiled my own basic list, then added to it as I was ready to incorporate more "secret weapons", as. I like to call them. I think it works better for you to pick and choose which things you want to add beyond the basics. If you really want someone else to do it for you, Google 4 hour body couple. They have a cheat sheet on their site that might help.
All Answers
Well, I don't overdo, and at the same time don't overexpect.
I eat fairly good, exercise little, never ice bath or ice drink, drink a bottle of grapefruit during cheat day, drink cinnamon coffee during the week, drink water but not barrels, take no supplements.
If I had to think about when what why all the time of the day, I had no time for ll my other activities.
Take it easier, try to follow the rules you can follow without effort. Later, when that is all normal to you, add more stuff.

Washington and Oregon grower-shippers report excellent growing conditions and look forward to good quality and yields.
Oregon growers reported a strong beginning to the growing season, said Bill Brewer, executive director of the Portland-based Oregon Potato Commission.
"We had a really good spring," he said. "Guys got in at a reasonable time and the crop looks really good."
The cold hand of winter reached unexpectedly into some of the state's growing areas this spring, but damage was minimal, Brewer said.
"The Klamath Basin had a night of frost, but everyone is protected," he said. "I think they got through OK."
Acreage is up slightly statewide this year, Brewer said.
Storage supplies from the 2011-12 season should be adequate to meet customer demand until the new crop begins shipping, likely around Aug. 1 for most shippers in the Northwest.
"We'll have plenty of good product into next year," Brewer said.
Washington acreage is similar to last year for Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. Inc., said Les Alderete, director of production and grower development.
Early planting, early harvest
As of the week of June 18, the crop was running about a week ahead of schedule, with reds set to come off about July 10-12, yellows a couple of days later and russets the fourth week of July, Alderete said.
The crop was planted about two weeks early, he said.
"They've had a few cold spells, but I talked to our grower and he said everything looks good," Alderete said June 19.
The Washington harvest typically lasts about eight to 10 weeks, Alderete said.
L&M sources russets and red potatoes from a grower in Sunnyside, and some reds later in the deal from a grower in western Washington, Alderete said.
It's been a mixed bag from Mother Nature this growing season, but the good has outweighed the bad, said Dave Long, chief executive officer of the Othello, Wash.-based United Fresh Potato Growers of Washington-Oregon.
"It started wet and cold, with a lot of wind, but since then it's been ideal weather and the crop's looking really good," Long said. "If it's normal from this point of forward, it's going to be a good crop."
In terms of acreage, the Umatilla/Hermiston area of Oregon will be down slightly this year, Long said. Washington acreage is up about 6,800 acres, but all of that has already been contracted for processing markets.
"Fresh acreage should be about the same" in both Oregon and Washington, Long said.
Chris Voigt, executive director of the Moses Lake-based Washington State Potato Commission, also predicted similar fresh acreage for Washington fresh-market potatoes in 2012-13 — about 25,000 acres.
As of late June, mild growing weather in Washington meant outstanding growing conditions for spuds, Voigt said.
"They're probably the best-looking plants we've ever seen," he said. "The plants have thrived in the cooler weather."

Tips for Staying Smoke Free: Dealing with the Cravings
For all of you out there that have recently quit smoking (like Sugar user smarler) - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Although life without nicotine might seem challenging; you are on your way to better health for life. But how to deal with those incessant cravings? Here are some tips to help:
- Exercise: C'mon this is FitSugar; you had to know I'd be writing that one first. It is true though, exercising for at least 5 minutes can curb the craving. So take a vigorous walk around the block instead of picking up the lighter. Or why not try some push-ups? I think exercising is a great way to deal with the cravings and breathing hard will help remind you of why you quit and you will start to see that exercising becomes easier the farther you get from your quit date.
- Deep Breathing: Nothing clears the mind and celebrates your healing lungs as much as a deep breath. It will calm and relax you. While breathing think of all the reasons you quit - a little reaffirmation.
- Healthy Snacking: Surround yourself with healthy snacks. Carrot sticks and celery. Apples or cherries. Sunflower seeds or pistachios still in their shells are a lot of work. The act of shelling them will take your mind off your craving and satisfy your oral fixation.
- Drink Water: You know I love water, but staying hydrated can really help with the cravings. Drinking water will help flush the toxins out of your body.
- Break your Routine: A lot of cravings are associated with your daily patterns, routines and rituals. To avoid these triggers mix up your day a bit.
- Keep your Hands Busy: Idle hands like to pick up cigarettes. Try knitting, starting a jigsaw puzzle or teaching yourself some card tricks.
I sure do hope these help.

THOUSANDS of gallons of water were left gushing from a leak in Penhill over the weekend, despite calls for engineers to fix it.
Residents called Thames Water at about 6am on Friday, with further calls made during the day, after finding a leak had sprung in the pavement in Penhill Drive.
After calls from the police advising them the situation was getting worse, engineers visited on Saturday night but could not carry out repairs as it was too dark.
They returned yesterday morning, where pools of water had already appeared in the surrounding area, but once again left the scene after engineers felt intimidated and threatened by the behaviour of some people on the scene.
They were due to go back out to repair the problem last night. Coun Paul Baker (Lab, Penhill and Upper Stratton ) said: "It was first brought to their attention on Friday morning. "There are gallons of water all over the pavement, road and people's gardens. It is a main walkway. There must be hundreds of gallons pouring out every minute. "The path is starting to bow. If the path bows any more we will have a mini fountain like the one at Asda Walmart." Coun Baker made three calls on Friday, further calls over the weekend, and said he knew of other residents who had also made calls to get it fixed. David Jarvis, 73, a retired Royal Mail worker, lives next to where the leak sprung. "I knew straight away it was the mains. The split has been getting bigger and bigger," he said. "If it blows the whole pavement will go.
"They have told us it's not an emergency. I am disgusted with Thames Water. They should have sent someone out straight away." The water flowed down the sloping drive of Paul Vines' house and reached the damp course.
"I was sweeping the water away on Friday but overnight it just got higher. It has been slowly rising," said the 49-year-old bricklayer.
"When I phoned on Friday they said it's a non-emergency. I told them it's all down my alleyway and close to my damp course. I just don't understand how it can take them so long to come out."
Engineers arrived at the scene at about 10am yesterday. A spokesman for Thames Water said: "It was reported as a non-emergency leak in the footpath on Friday.
"However, the police advised us the problem was getting worse on Saturday afternoon and two engineers attended Saturday night to investigate a reported burst water main. They decided it was too big a job to repair at night, with daylight needed for visibility, and so the team returned on Sunday morning to carry out the repair.
"However, after being subjected to intimidating and threatening behaviour by people at the scene, the engineers were forced to leave site for their own safety.
"This is really disappointing and means more inconvenience for local residents, and more wasted water. Another team of engineers is scheduled to go back at 6pm to finish the job.
"We regret the amount of water that has leaked into this area but the safety of our staff comes first."
But not at 4am, thanks!
A WORKING couple had an axe to grind with a water firm after engineers woke them up while carrying out emergency repairs in the early hours.
Sarah and Stuart Selwood had a rude awakening at around 4am on Friday when workmen began using an angle grinder and bright halogen lights to work on a burst water main in Station Road, Purton .
The water firm has apologised for the inconvenience but said the leak had been reported at 1.15am and had been deemed urgent enough to require immediate attention.
But Sarah, 44, who runs her own beauty salon, said she thought the disturbance was unacceptable.
"I think it's out of order for them to start working on it at that time in the morning," she said. "We had noticed the leak the week before and there had been barriers up around the drain so it obviously was not that urgent.
"I first woke up at 4am and my husband was already stirring. "He said he thought they were doing some work in the road but then after 45 minutes of trying to get back to sleep they started up the angle grinder.
"Stuart put his jeans on and went to talk to the lads out there, who just gave us the complaints number to call.
"They didn't stop and the work went on until around 6am. I called them immediately and was told they had a report earlier on and they had a permit to do it. "
I am extremely unhappy that this level of noise in a residential area was made during the very early hours of the morning – we are both hard working people and had long days ahead of us.
"It's not acceptable. We moved to Purton because it was quiet and then something like this happens."
A spokesman for Thames Water said: "We were called to a burst water main in Station Road, Purton, in the early hours of the morning.
"It was so serious we had to carry out emergency repairs there and then.
"Had we delayed many of our customers would have been left without water later that day when they got up to wash and have breakfast before heading off to work.
"We're very sorry for the disturbance that this must-do job caused."

Looking to grab x 2 SLI Nvidia Cards
Hello! /wave
Well, having dealt with AMD's terriable drivers and i just feel that Nvidia is a more of a comfortable setup for my PC (with them having a shader and allowing more immesive graphics overall, I'm wondering what difference's/FPS or bonus's would i gain from my single 6850, as i was going to SLI this one up but i felt with the money i would spend getting another 6850 i could easily pass this card down to my girlfriend and finally go to Nvidia like i've wanted for awhile now, I'm not sure how to explain but i just don't quite feel that AMD cut it with there graphics or there drivers.
anyone with some benchmarks/testing/results or review's? I'm looking to spend around £250 (i think it's $320 in USD?) on a new set of card's but i want them to be mid range/updated graphic's cards, i'm definatly not looking for single cards i'm tired of never having a SLI configuration setup.
anyone with some suggestions, i would even go up/down a range if the performance/money was good, any input would be lovely.
Mate currently the 7 Series AMD card is the top of the pile. I have 2 GTX 680 cards and I prefer to use a single 7970. So you fill in the blanks.
To answer your question I would say for that money your best bet would be to look at the deal of the day at either of the three or four big online retailers here in the UK.
In no particular order
Each one as very good deals that they post for one day at a time.
Why dual card? Single strong card and you have an upgrade path later in the year or next year by adding another. 560Ti is a good starting point.
Simply because i haven't had a SLI configuration and i want to make use of the motherboard properly, as in all the time of my PCS i've not had a dual graphics card setup and the type of games i like to play while on PC (also i like to do Video recording too) i have never had enough graphics card power to do so with good quality as i'm looking to pump High/Ultra while records going, and with a single graphics card it isn't going to be able to do that because of the RAM on the card will get bottle necked due to the strain on it.
Nvidia is a company i feel more trusted with, and they have more realism to there cards than ATI, through things like: Dynamic visual effects like blazing explosions, reactive debris, realistic water, and lifelike characters- aka: Physic's, they exist on Nvidia unlike ATI cards they are dummed down and not so in-your-face. I'm aware that ATI are properly better for bank for buck but at the end of it i want to draw my self away from ATI.
Also with me i like to keep GFX cards for 3-5 years at a time so having 2 x 560's for example will work out better, the reason why i like to have them for so long is because i like to use them until they dry up (i had a 4650 for 3-5 years) I like to build a PC that last's and thats why im trying to find a nice deal on graphics cards.

Um - you might want to read up how ram is used with SLi - my understanding is that when you are in SLi the ram on one card only is used I am sad to say.
But please feel free to explore Sli it is quite a bit of fun.

As we age, our skin becomes drier and less supple, mainly due in part to the loss of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our skin that helps maintain moisture, diminishes with every passing year, causing the skin to lose volume and elasticity.
At Dermaworks Medical Aesthetics Clinic, our physician can replenish hyaluronic acid levels in a simple procedure designed to reclaim what age has taken. A series of 5 treatments can help restore the suppleness of your skin, achieving a glowing complexion that is more youthful in appearance.*

When true freshman Desmond Lawrence suffered a knee injury early in training camp last August, most everyone who knew about it, including Lawrence himself, must have figured that he would likely be redshirting the 2013 season.
Most everyone, that is, except his head coach.
That very afternoon, as Lawrence lay awaiting his immediate future, UNC head coach Larry Fedora called and reassured him that he wouldn't be forgotten.
And that call, perhaps more than any single other moment so far in Lawrence's time at North Carolina, has invigorated him to a point where he finds himself in position to assume a starting role at cornerback for UNC heading into his upcoming sophomore season.
"When I got hurt I was like, 'Yeah man, they're probably going to redshirt me,' but Coach Fedora told me on the phone that day, 'You're going to come back and be an impact to this team,'" Lawrence told Tar Heel Illustrated earlier this week. "So every day I tried to get better. And so when my time was called on special teams, or whenever I got my time on the defensive side of the ball, I just tried to make a play. And I think all that just really prepared me for this year."
Lawrence made it back to play in eight games last fall, serving on special teams and as a backup cornerback. He recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo) and one tackle for loss, giving himself some valuable experience heading into this spring, where starting jobs are there for the taking at both cornerback spots with Jabari Price's offseason departure and the move of Tim Scott to safety.
"I think those reps last year really helped. I'm not just someone out there now that didn't really get reps, or is shellshocked," Lawrence told us. "I know what's going to happen, and I pick up on certain things better than I would have last year. So I think those reps really helped, and I think I'm more prepared this year. It's good."
"I've just come out here and tried to get better each and every day," Lawrence added about the spring season. "We've had a great spring so far---well, it's kind of over now---but it's just been a great time on the defensive side of the ball. We're just going out there trying to make plays," he added.
Heading into the final hours of the spring season, it appears that Lawrence and his fellow classmate and Charlotte native Brian Walker are setting themselves up to be Carolina's two starting cornerbacks heading into the fall.
Lawrence and Walker have been friends for several years, going back to their days as highly sought-after recruits, and they arrived in Chapel Hill together last year with mutual sights set on making their way onto the field and staying there.
"Me and Brian, we're both guys from Charlotte and we've known each other for quite some time now," Lawrence said. "So I think we have a certain swagger, confidence, about ourselves that we can go out there and get it done even though we're young. It's good."
Like Walker, who told THI in an interview earlier this spring about how the Tar Heel secondary has a sense of something to prove this coming season, Lawrence suggested that anybody sleeping on the UNC defensive backfield because there's three sophomores in the current projected starting lineup could be in for a rude awakening.
"That's been the talk that we're young, and Tim is the only experienced one. And he's playing safety, so that's new for him. But we've just all come together," Lawrence said.
"If we're going to do this, we're going to have to do it together. We're going to have to be confident in ourselves. And we've got other guys that are behind us like Jeff Battle, and behind me is M.J. Stewart. And we've got other guys like Sam Smiley that are really going to step up. So it's not going to be a drop-off in any sense. I think we'll be ready."
Lawrence, who says there's no recurring problems with last year's injured knee, is currently wearing a cast over his right forearm, but that won't stop him from playing in Saturday's Spring Game inside Kenan Stadium.
"The knee is fine. There's no worries about the knee."
"I didn't even know I had one," Lawrence joked about the cast. "I hurt it (the right arm) last week---just a freak accident going on a blocking drill with the receivers. A helmet hit my hand. It was something slight but major. So we just put a cast over it, and I told them I still wanted to play (Saturday). But I still feel like I'm pretty productive. It's nothing crazy."
From an individual standpoint, Lawrence has been focusing heavily in recent weeks on being where he needs to be at given points in a play, and in position to disrupt opposing wide receivers from making catches.
"(I'm focusing on) just breaking on routes better, recognizing route combinations, being in the right place at the right time, and also playing the ball. I really take pride in that. And getting the ball out. That's really what we have to do is DBs is not let them catch the ball. So when it's one-on-one in a big stage, with me and him (the opposing receiver), I've just got to get the ball out (of his hands)."
Coming off last season's late-season defensive success for UNC---of which Lawrence was a helpful contributor---Lawrence and the other UNC defenders have been looking to find a way to carry over the momentum of November and December into this spring's workouts.
"We were pretty dominant as far as defensively in the Belk Bowl, and we've really seen how fast this defense can be with the players that were on the team that we knew were coming back," Lawrence said. "We just really bought into that. Let's just get three or four guys to the ball at a time and really be scary for offenses. So I think that's what really helped us is seeing how fast we can be."
It was an enjoyable experience for Lawrence getting to play in front of friends and family at the recent scrimmage in Charlotte, and he's looking forward to doing his thing again on Saturday in what will be his first opportunity to step into the starting lineup as a Tar Heel in Kenan Stadium.
"It was big (getting to scrimmage in Charlotte). It was kind of like a high school game. We got off the bus and just played. I think that was really familiar to me," he said. "Of course I had my mom and dad and other family members out there. So you want to always make plays in front of them. I think it was just that ease being out there."
"It's pretty exciting (getting ready for Saturday's Spring Game), because I've never started in a game-type situation until this situation. So it's going to be really fun to go out and play in front of the fans and see what we can do," he continued.

Local authorities are blaming weather as the cause of an array of accidents that occurred throughout Licking County this morning.
The Licking County Sheriff's Office is reporting a total of six crashes, none of which it says caused major injuries.
The Granville Post of the State Highway Patrol says it handled six accidents as well. It says most of those occurred along US 62, around the Johnstown area, and along State Route 13 near Utica. Out of those six crashes, only two people had to be sent to the hospital. Dispatchers say their injuries were not life-threatening.

After Gord Wilson's mid-game observation that the Senators had switched the coaching responsibilities of its two assistant coaches – Mark Reeds and Dave Cameron – the news fuelled a ton of speculation as to the rationale behind the decision.
This season has been an exercise of one bad thing happening after another on the ice and off of it, so when Paul MacLean refused to address the reason(s) why Reeds and Cameron had switched roles, it did not really help matters or curb the interest in the matter.
With only 15 games remaining on the schedule, from an outsider's perspective, the timing certainly reeked of a desperation play designed to help shake things up and help rectify their defensive coverage issues that have plagued the team for the duration of the season.
Fans were left wondering whether this some performance related decision or worse, that it was a decision that came from a higher authority instead of MacLean.
Paul MacLean eventually cleared the air at practice this morning by stating that Mark Reeds has a condition that requires a medical procedure and that it will keep him away from the team for a time. MacLean concluded this segment of his media availability by asking reporters to respect Reeds' privacy.
Well, don't we all feel like assholes now?
Thoughts and well wishes go out to Mark Reeds and his family and friends.

Western Slope rivers benefit from storms
REDSTONE — Dare it be said in this year of semi-drought? Sunday, midway through what the Chinese zodiac calls the Year of the Water Dragon, the Crystal River was too high to fish.
Not your normal runoff, bank-to-bank too high, but flash-flood type too high, remnants of a thunderstorm earlier slamming the high country around McClure Pass.
The river rose quickly, spiking from around 150 cubic feet per second early Sunday to more than 300 cfs in a few hours.
Every gully in the narrow Crystal River Valley that could flood did, and the storm left roads strewn with rocks, gravel and piles of mud.
A few days earlier, the river, one of the few left undammed in the state, was slipping along at 100 cfs, clear as its name and almost too low to fish.
The storm changed all of that, and Sunday afternoon the river was milky and turbulent, no longer inviting.
Similar effects from the storm were seen along the North Fork of the Gunnison River on the west side of McClure Pass.
This river, which melds into the main stem Gunnison River at the Pleasure Park near Austin, had been as clear as it gets (which means a bit off-color) and wadeable through Saturday, but by Sunday the flows had doubled, and wading was a bit iffy.
A couple of anglers crossed the North Fork right at the confluence, which meant after fighting the current on the far bank, they faced scrambling up the steep bank.
One of the immediate benefits from the higher North Fork flows was Cy Wilson and her family could take a ride on the dragon's back.
Wilson, a Paonia native now living in Talkeetna, Alaska, was sitting patiently Monday on the rocky beach at the Pleasure Park, her daughter Myka, 8, nearby.
"We're waiting for my dad to get back from the shuttle," explained Wilson, who said her husband is a bush pilot in Alaska and his busy time is the short summer, which means they rarely get to Colorado in the summer.
"It's nice to be able to float the river. I haven't done this for years," said Wilson, whose father, Ron Gill of Paonia, was dropping a vehicle near a takeout at Austin.
The rains also caused a decrease in releases from Crystal Dam, and Tuesday the Gunnison below the East Portal was at 520 cfs.
