i love it!
its belly makes it look like it's hanging on to those things that make you who you are. Nice! Keep up the good work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I think it looks pretty cool. I really like the swirls on it. They look nice with the orange body. I really like the colors used on him. Orange and a nice shade of light blue work well together sometimes, and this is one of those times where I like the way they're put together. :-)
That 'stuff' on his skin looks awesome. I always like seeing drawings with kind of rough doodles on the skin. I don't know how to explain it, but I think you get what I mean. I like the simplicity of the background. Scattered smudging is p. cool bro.
Overall I think this looks nice. Favorited.
i left it kinda sketch and rough to help give a more organic feel
something ive been playing with

That's one of the most beautiful things i've seen all week. I love the flow to it.

Delacorte Press, 9780385741774, 292pp.
Publication Date: November 13, 2012
This spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love. Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be. *** "Readers of Jennifer E. Smith and Stephanie Perkins will revel in this debate about love ruled by the stars or as a matter of the heart." --Shelf Awareness "Fun, fresh and irresistibly romantic. STB (SURE to be) loved " --Sarah Mlynowski "Star-crossed characters, hilarious dialogue, and a perfect London setting. I loved Meant to Be " -Robin Benway, author of Emmy & Oliver
About the Author
Praise For Meant to Be…
HelloGiggles.com, November 24, 2012:
"If you're into swoony romances with a little bit of history thrown in, you'll love Meant to Be. I love this book because it's funny, it has a super-relatable heroine, and it features a ton of romantic tension...Lauren Morrill rules and this book is awesome."
Kirkus Reviews, October 15, 2012:
"The author has a good ear for comic dialogue."
Publishers Weekly, October 22, 2012:
"Morrill's debut is entertaining and quick-witted."
Booklist, November 1, 2012:
"The traveling details are part of the fun: her friends are into shopping, not Shakespeare, and there are raucous puns about Big Ben. The contemporary scene with consumer name-dropping will grab readers...The core drama is the romance, with all its turnarounds and timeless realism."
School Library Journal, January 2013:
"This delightful debut explores the excitement and insecurities of an unexpected first love...A great choice for teens who enjoyed Jennifer E. Smith's The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Gabrielle Zevin's Elsewhere, or Rachel Cohn and David Levithan's Dash & Lily's Book of Dares.

How to – Automatic monitor color temperature adjustment @ The Adafruit Learning System.
Staring at a computer monitor all day is quite stressful. Moving your gaze from the cold, white light of a monitor to warmer indoor light is especially jarring to your senses. Programs like f.lux and Redshift were created to ease this strain by adjusting the color temperature of your monitor. However these programs don't measure color temperature of light in the environment and instead guess the temperature based on location, time of day, and sunrise/sunset time.
This project will show you how to build hardware that measures the temperature of ambient light and automatically adjusts your monitor color to match. With just a simple RGB color sensor and an Arduino or FT232H-based cable, your computer can easily sense and react to light in its environment.
Before building this project, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with the color sensor guide.

Tebow a Maxwell semifinalist
Tim Tebow is among 15 semifinalists for the Maxwell Award, presented to the nation's top collegiate player of the year.
Tebow leads the nation in passing efficiency and the SEC in total offense.
The sophomore quarterback has 35 touchdowns this year, 21 passing, and a school-record 14 on the ground. Tebow has rushed for a touchdown in 10 straight games dating back to the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game and leads the SEC in rushing touchdowns.
Against Vanderbilt on Nov. 3, he had a career-best 22 completions on 27 attempts and set the SEC
single-season rushing touchdown record for a quarterback. Tebow accounted for five touchdowns against the Commodores' 14th-ranked defense and his play has earned him SEC Offensive Player of the Week twice this year.
He leads Florida in rushing with 598 yards on 144 carries and already has the most yards rushing by a Florida quarterback in a career with 1,067 yards.
The announcement of the winners of the Maxwell Award will be made during the Home Depot College Football Awards Show, Dec. 6, on ESPN. The three finalists for the award will be in attendance.

Paying for Free TV
Aereo takes broadcast TV signals and puts them on your computer, tablet, and smartphone—for a fee
Steven Cherry: Hi, this is Steven Cherry for IEEE Spectrum's "Techwise Conversations."
There are any number of ways to get movies and television shows without your local cable company, and a lot of reasons to do so. The fact is, cable TV is sky-high expensive and still climbing.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the cost of cable tripled in the previous decade, and the analytical firm NPD reported last year that the average cable bill has been going up by at least 6 percent annually, with no end to that in sight. Average bills could rise to "US $123 by the year 2015 and $200 by 2020."
And so more and more households—by one estimate, a million of us last year—have been going "over the top," as the TV industry calls it: movies and past series from Netflix and Hulu and Google TV and Roku and Boxee, current movies from iTunes and Amazon, current TV shows from Hulu Plus and iTunes.
But what about broadcast television? Wait a minute, that's crazy—it's broadcast, so why not just pluck the shows out of the airwaves like our grandparents did?
As it turns out, there's a company crazy enough to offer it, and people crazy enough to take them up on it—and pay good money in the bargain. The company is Aereo. My guest today is its CEO, Chet Kanojia [PDF]. He joins us by phone.
Chet, welcome to the podcast.
Chet Kanojia: Thank you for having me.
Steven Cherry: So, Chet, why not just pluck the TV shows out of the airwaves like our grandparents did?
Chet Kanojia: I think that people should. And I think it's a great way to supplement, because, you know, broadcast is about 50 percent of the viewership, and I encourage people to do that. The challenge in that is that the signal isn't necessarily clear all the time. You know, if you remember in the old days, you had to sort of orient your rabbit ears every now and then. People had tin foil on them and all kinds of different things. And modern conveniences that people are now used to, for example, a DVR, the ability to play shift your shows, and kind of watch them on your tablet or your computer in addition to a TV, all of those things require additional technology.
So what we have done at Aereo is sort of taken the old idea of antennas and combined it with all this great new technology and put it all in the cloud, and the net effect is essentially you're using kind of the same technology your parents or your grandparents did with the antenna. You're just doing it in a more modern way using cloud-based technologies and do it on any device.
Steven Cherry: So a user signs up for Aereo—what exactly do they do, and what do they get?
Chet Kanojia: So they sign up for Aereo just on the website, on Aereo.com, and they don't have to purchase any specialty equipment or wires, cords, anything. Once you sign up, what happens is the Aereo system behind the scenes assigns you a remote antenna. It is actually an ATSC antenna, just it's miniaturized so that we can pack millions of things into a small space. So they're miniaturized, they're remote, they're built into a private cloud in your city, along with DVR capabilities.
So when you sign up, the Aereo system assigns you your personal unique antenna, and after that, any time you go in, all you need is a browser today—could be a phone, could be a tablet, could be a TV, could be through a Roku box, for example. All you do is you access Aereo.com, and there's an electronic program guide, and you pick the shows you want. You can watch them live, you can record them, you can do all the things that you normally expect as a consumer to be able to do.
Steven Cherry: So for each customer, there's an antenna. So if 1000 customers want to record the American Idol show on Thursday at 8:00 p.m., you make 1000 recordings of it?
Chet Kanojia: Yup, there's 1000 recordings. There could be 10 000 or 100 000. They're unique recordings.
Steven Cherry: And operators like Comcast and Dish and Verizon, they redistribute broadcast TV shows under a license. You have no particular license, and you're actually being sued by the broadcasters. Now, your defense is that you're using an antenna just the way a person in his home would, but your antennas are just centimeters long. Is that right?
Chet Kanojia: Correct. So we, as you correctly pointed out, cable companies and satellite companies retransmit broadcast signal under a license. Our argument—and I think that it's a sound argument—is that a consumer doesn't have a requirement to have a license. I mean, they already have a license since it's being broadcast to them as part of the [1934] Communications Act. What Aereo is doing is acting much like Radio Shack or Sony by saying, "Oh, I can provide you some equipment. Now, it happens to be remotely located, but I can provide you some equipment that allows you to exercise that right." So it's a very distinct, a very different, approach toward serving that customer's need that Aereo's come up with.
Steven Cherry: So tell us a little bit about the antennas specifically. What was it like to design them, and do they have any other applications besides this?
Chet Kanojia: So they are very unique in the sense that they are designed specifically for the television application. They are also what you would normally call "tunable," or you can instruct the antenna. So essentially what happens is, a traditional antenna is capable of looking at the entire broadcast spectrum, and in particular there's a UHF segment, a lower UHF segment, a low VHF [[Ed.: Not sure about VHF]] segment to the antenna.
What Aereo did was design an antenna that can look at any portion of that spectrum just 6 megahertz at a time. So instead of looking at the entire spectrum, it tunes to the particular 6 MHz that you're interested in, and as you know, broadcasting happens in 6-MHz blocks. So essentially you say, "Ah, I'm interested in watching ABC." The Aereo system figures out ABC in your city resolves to a certain frequency, RF channel, and it tunes it to that particular 6-MHz block.
So as a result, we can do this in a much smaller size. The technology like this has other applications as well, obviously, but we haven't chosen to apply them to other applications. We've focused very specifically on the video application, broadcast-TV application.
Steven Cherry: So all of this gets Downton Abbey and American Idol onto my computer screen or my tablet or my phone in real time, or recorded and played back whenever I want. What about getting them back on the television screen where they really belong?
Chet Kanojia: Yeah, so you can use legacy televisions—and, obviously, as most modern televisions are what are called "smart TVs," so essentially have the Internet connectivity built in. So if you have a smart TV, soon there will be an Aereo application for those smart TVs. But for legacy televisions, which are high definition, but they don't have an Internet connection, you can use what is called a "buddy box." For example, a Google TV box or a Roku box, and Aereo makes applications that go on these devices, so you can watch Aereo on a big-screen TV. In fact about 80 percent of Aereo users watch indoors, 75–80 percent watch indoors, and a good portion of those happen to be on big-screen TVs.
Steven Cherry: So I have a Roku box, and I have Apple TV as well, and at the beginning of this year, I turned in my cable box, and I'm just using this over-the-top stuff. I subscribe to Netflix and Hulu Plus and now Aereo, and I'm constantly switching back and forth to get from a video podcast about craft beer via my Apple iTunes share, for example, all the way to Jon Stewart on Hulu Plus, is at least 15 clicks. To teach my mother how to do this, I think I would need a spreadsheet and a PowerPoint presentation. You argue that cable boxes are too complicated and confusing. I have to say my experience is just the reverse.
Chet Kanojia: I think you are absolutely right in the sense that the cable box had done all the integrations for all the channels effectively, right? But the challenge is that it is a highly restrictive environment. So for a consumer to have anything else additional, like better experience, better interface, it's a locked system, if you will. I think that you're absolutely right that for a certain generation of people, we have to do more simplification of these technologies, and I'm confident that that will happen and is imminent.
You know, I don't know who solves the problem, whether it's Apple or—one consolidator has to emerge—but the benefits today are so dramatic, as you point out. I mean, today, if you wanted, as a consumer, high-definition plus DVR broadcast, some of these shows that these channels that you talk about, you're looking at, on average, $100 a month to get into the game. Whereas if you make a little bit of an effort, and I think the technology companies are going to continue to simplify to provide a consolidated interface, you can solve that problem for less than $20 a month, right?
So I think the price savings are so significant that the younger population that's emerging and entering into the marketplace is the target, I think, for a lot of us, as opposed to somebody who's not adept at using the technology. I jokingly, but only half jokingly, say to people today, "The best set-top box on the market today is an Apple iTouch [iPod touch]," because it's got all the computational capabilities, power, retail marketing, the ability to browse the Internet, display things like Aereo and Netflix, all in a very small device that is AirPlay capable. And it's just a spectacular experience.
Steven Cherry: Yeah, at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, there were quite a few vendors showing products that really did simplify a lot of this. Some of them are coming out this year. Sony, for example, showed a really nice 46-inch TV that had Google TV built into it, and Panasonic and LG and Samsung all had some really great stuff coming out.
Speaking of the Consumer Electronics Show, you announced there that you're going to be expanding quickly. You're only in New York now, but how is it going?
Chet Kanojia: Good, we're very busy. It's a difficult task because we are still a very relatively small company but with a very large, ambitious plan to roll out about 20, 22 cities by late summer time frame. And, you know, we're stretched to the limit, but it's a lot of fun. It's really an incredible experience to be able to be part of something this interesting, because it's got fascinating technology that spans from RF to compression technologies to hardware systems that we build ourselves to massive storage systems, playback equipment, consumer experiences, not to mention legal and policy stuff that goes around our business. It's just a happy—I say to people, "This is the most fun I've ever had professionally, and the happiest I've ever been professionally." It's just an incredibly rewarding experience.
Steven Cherry: Aereo has $38 million in venture funding from InterActive Corporation (IAC), which is the Barry Diller conglomerate that's behind Expedia, Vimeo, Match.com, and the Daily Beast. Here's a guy who started out in traditional television and film—he built QVC, Fox, Paramount Studios. With Aereo, he's rather directly attacking Hollywood. Is he biting the hand that made him a very rich man in the first place?
Chet Kanojia: So, we actually have a total of about $65 million, and IAC is one of the investors, because we did $65 million in two rounds. You know, my experience with Barry has been that he is a very forward-looking man, and he is motivated by technology and the opportunities that it represents, as opposed to being stuck in what it was. It's much more—at least my observation has been—what it can be and what it should be, and I think there's a very strong sense of what the consumer really expects and wants.
I mean, let's not forget the reason—I'll give you some very interesting examples—the reason the cable bundle exists today is because the cable billing systems were not capable of selling individual channels. Further, cable guys were capable technologically of partitioning channels based on access, meaning they couldn't determine physically who was supposed to get what channel because this was essentially a broadcast technology, the way they had implemented co-ax.
So somebody clever came along and said, "Let's just sell them all and charge one price for it." That started an industry that initially was great, and I think it served a great purpose, but technologically it's gotten to the point where you have hundreds of channels of which you watch seven or eight. So I think Barry is somebody who understands where the consumer appetite is headed toward, and in particular the younger consumers.
The Internet mind-set is, "Look, I need choice. I'm going to pay for what I consume, or you can try and convince me to pay for what I consume" in some cases, and you have to serve me. I'm not here to serve you. And I think that none of the incumbents have really tapped into that idea of how to serve these consumers. So I think that I look at him and his interactions with Aereo, and my experiences with him are very much centered around he's a forward-looking guy who thinks technology can create a tremendous amount of value for all forms of people. That includes content creators.
Steven Cherry: NBC, without NFL football and the one hit show it had, The Voice, would have had ratings that look a lot like a cable channel, and meanwhile, some great programming is starting to flourish even beyond cable, with House of Cards on Netflix. Is broadcast television even worth worrying about?
Chet Kanojia: Very much so, because it's still, my philosophy is in life—not philosophy but thesis—is that broadcast is only going to get bigger and bigger, because it is the only mass medium that allows marketers and advertisers to deploy that kind of capital.
You know, in advertising they have an old saying: "Ten ones don't make a 10," meaning 10 "one" ratings don't make a 10 rating. A 10 rating behaves very differently, has a very different impact on the consumer, than a bunch of one-rated channels that you can accumulate. So I think broadcast gets bigger and bigger.
You used an NBC example, which is an interesting one, but on the other hand, you look at CBS and ABC, and you look at the Oscars every year are bigger, the Super Bowls every year are bigger, or some of the bigger shows just get bigger and bigger. I think the bigger question is, What happens to the middle, right? What happens to the 14th rerun of "Desperate Housewives of Orange County," right? Those old products, to me, and I think to this generation, belong in a library.
If I'm interested and if I want to kill a little bit of time, I may look at it, I may sample it, but what I'm driven by is something that's going to entertain me for a very short duration of time, and that's broadcast—that is, TV is sports, news, movies. What HBO does, and I think even what Netflix is doing, is movies. You know, they're big events. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars. They entertain people. It's the middle that's going to be the question mark in the future.
Steven Cherry: Well, Chet, I think it's still a complicated and cumbersome business to go over the top, but it's getting much easier, as we've said, and it's saving hundreds of dollars a year, as we've said, so thanks for coming up with the broadcast piece of the puzzle, and thanks for joining us today.
Chet Kanojia: My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
Steven Cherry: We've been speaking with Chet Kanojia, CEO of the startup Aereo, a key component in the interlocking puzzle of using the Internet to replace your expensive cable subscription.

Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter were $1.52 billion, or 19.3 percent of net sales, including a $19 million net pre-tax benefit comprised of income related to a cash settlement received from credit card companies which was partially offset by net charges primarily related to previously announced store closures. Excluding these items, third quarter selling and administrative costs were $1.54 billion, or 19.5 percent of net sales compared to $1.61 billion, or 19.3 percent of net sales last year. The 20 basis point increase in the adjusted selling and administrative expense rate as a percent of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects a 20 basis point negative impact from lower fuel sales. The impact from sales deleveraging was offset by the Company's cost reduction initiatives.Net interest expense for the third quarter was $126 million compared to $119 million last year. The increase is primarily related to a higher average interest rate compared to last year associated with the Company's refinanced secured term-loan facility. SUPERVALU's income tax expense was $15 million, or 48.4 percent of pre-tax income, for the third quarter, compared to an income tax benefit of $77 million, or 9.3 percent of pre-tax loss in last year's third quarter. Income tax expense in the third quarter includes $3 million of net provisions related to certain tax positions. The tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 reflects the impact of the impairment charges, the majority of which was not deductible for tax purposes. Excluding these items, the tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 38.7 percent and the tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was 37.4 percent. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the third quarter were 214 million shares compared to 212 million shares last year. For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, diluted loss per share is computed using the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding and excludes all outstanding stock options and restricted stock as their effect is anti-dilutive when applied to a loss. As of January 7, 2013, SUPERVALU had 213 million shares outstanding.

AN EXHIBITION inspired by international art has gone on show at the Riverfront Theatre in Newport.
Pupils at five primary schools in Newport joined forces to create the new show, which features around 150 works.
The exhibition was also partly inspired by the works of Welsh artists.
Danielle Rowlands, Riverfront education and participation officer, said: "They were looking at international art. This came off the back of community art celebrations and continuing that on in a schools' celebration of international art."
The Schools Exhibition features works from Pillgwennlly Primary, Duffryn Junior, Millbrook Junior, Always Primary and Somerton Primary.
The show is to be on display at the theatre in Kingsway until March 22.
For more information on the free exhibition call 01633 656 677 or log on to newport.gov.uk

Corrupting Youth:
In Corrupting Youth, Peter Euben explores the affinities between Socratic philosophy and Athenian democratic culture as a way to think about issues of politics and education, both ancient and modern. The book moves skillfully between antiquity and the present, from ancient to contemporary political theory, and from Athenian to American democracy. It draws together important recent work by political theorists with the views of classical scholars in ways that shine new light on significant theoretical debates such as those over discourse ethics, rational choice, and political realism, and on political issues such as school vouchers and education reform. Euben not only argues for the generative capacity of classical texts and Athenian political thought, he demonstrates it by thinking with them to provide a framework for reflecting more deeply about socially divisive issues such as the war over the canon and the "politicization" of the university.
Drawing on Aristophanes' Clouds, Sophocles' Antigone and Oedipus Tyrannos, and Plato's Apology of Socrates, Gorgias, and Protagoras, Euben develops a view of democratic political education. Arguing that Athenian democratic practices constituted a tradition of accountability and self-critique that Socrates expanded into a way of doing philosophy, Euben suggests a necessary reciprocity between political philosophy and radical democracy. By asking whether we can or should take "Socrates" out of the academy and put him back in front of a wider audience, Euben argues for anchoring contemporary higher education in appreciative yet skeptical encounter with the dramatic figure in Plato's dialogues.
"In this wide-ranging study of political thought in classical Athens, Peter Euben locates Greek explorations of the civic community, and how one educates people for it, in the context of contemporary debates over higher education in the United States. . . . [This] work, probing and reflective, with many surprising twists and turns, will spark quite enough (democratic) discussion and debate as it is."--American Journal of Philology

LA JOLLA —— Out of the fog and into contention is Tiger Woods.Woods, the world's No. 2 player, took a bite out of the leaderboardon Saturday and is tied for first with Del Mar's Tom Lehman in theweather-weary Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines Golf Course.
Woods birdied one hole in the morning to finish his delayed second round, then returned in the afternoon to birdie two more and then shoot par on his final three holes before darkness fell.
"It's been a long day and I can't wait to go and grab some dinner and repeat the process (today)," Woods said.
Woods ended the comment with a chuckle, but the Buick's schedule is no laughing matter.
Saturday's competition was to start at 7:30 a.m., but fog pushed it back to 10 a.m. The second round was completed at 11:26 a.m., with the third round going off at noon. But at 12:45 p.m. —— two minutes earlier than Friday —— the fog forced play to halt until 2:46 p.m.
Players are set to start at 7:30 this morning, in hopes of completing the third round and squeezing in the final one. Considering the past two days and a forecast for morning fog, that might be a stretch.
"Hopefully we can finish before it gets dark," PGA Tourtournament director Mark Russell said.
The course won't be repaired between rounds, with the players hustled back out to avoid the first Monday finish in tournament history.
"Yeah, we would go into Monday morning," Russell said. "If it means 72 holes, yes."
Lehman and Woods have some company shooting for the $864,000 first-place check.
Luke Donald, a playoff participant here last year, is at11-under along with Peter Lonard.
Three players are at 10-under: Ernie Els, Kevin Sutherland andDudley Hart.
On the surface, it makes for another exiting final day on this seaside course.
But first the weather has to cooperate, which it has done exactly one day since the opening tee shot.
Woods' health, at least, is clearing up. He's been complaining this week about a bout with the flu that cost him 7 pounds and a portion of his stamina.
"Just trying to sleep as much as I can," Woods said. "I feel like an old fogy."
But Woods is somewhat fresh after catching Lehman atop the leaderboard.
"Without a doubt," said Woods, a two-time winner here, who started his third round on the South Course's 10th tee. "Three shots back and all of a sudden, tied. So it was huge to sneak (a birdie putt) in there on 11. That was kind of —— that thing was zipping. It had to crash at the hole."
Woods' play has temporarily slowed Lehman's march to victory. After owning first place by himself on Thursday and Friday, he wakes up today sharing that honor with Woods.
Lehman completed four holes on Saturday, with a showing of three pars and a bogey on the par-4 No. 12.
None of the 81 players making the cut were able to complete the third round —— they had anywhere from five to 14 holes remaining. Before sunset, Vijay Singh and Charles Howell III had the best rounds going.
Singh, the world's top player, was 4-under through 12 holes and stands at 8-under. Howell was 4-under through 9 holes, and is 9-under for the tournament.
But all eyes will focus on Woods —— if the gallery can see —— when play resumes this morning.
Woods just shrugs about the conditions, knowing he's not the only one being hampered.
"It's just part of the game," he said. "You have to be patient and stay calm and understand that everyone has to deal with it."
Many patrons are saying, "What's the deal with La Jolla's famous weather."
So far, it's been far from a jewel.
"At least," Woods said, "it's not cold."

My little ones daycare just got done releasing the butterflies they were raising, and my daughter thought the whole process from caterpillar to butterfly was really cool. Since she talked about it so much and since we have done so many Butterfly Crafts already, I thought it might be fun to make this pom pom caterpillar craft with her. She had so much fun making these and picking the different colors to make them.
5 Pom Pom's (could use a large one for head and smaller for body or all the same size)
Googly Eyes
Place your Pom Pom's onto the clip
Glue your googly eyes on and wait for them to dry.

The arrival of autumn and the Halloween season is one of those times each year when I miss longtime colleague Brian Hamlin.
For decades, kindly ol' Mr. Hamlin would pull out his most poisonous plume and pen the introduction to a tale of terror that The Reporter would then ask its readers to complete.
The annual ritual ended when Brian moved to the court beat, though a few attempts were made to resurrect it.
Then we lost Brian to cancer last year, and we mourned (and still do mourn) the loss of such creativity and truly spectacular writing.
We couldn't just forget it all and relegate it to the past, however. So, last year, I pulled out my own batty ballpoint and wrote an appropriately spooky story introduction and asked readers to pen their own endings.
Of course, I hold no candle to the creative curmudgeon himself, but the revival of The Reporter's Halloween Scary Story competition didn't turn out too badly, and we were all pleased with the number of entries that came in. So much so, in fact, that we decided to do it again this year.
This year's scary story is set in familiar territory for Solano (or as Brian would call them, S'lano) residents: Lake Berryessa. It is there that our heroine, 14-year-old Crystal Wilson, finds herself in the middle of a mess known as the "Depths of Despair."
The full introduction can be found on the front page of Perspectives today, and we will run it periodically in advertisements during the next few weeks.
Suffice it to say, I am expecting to see some creative ideas for what happens to the star of this little tale of terror.
As with past contests, entries must be 600 words or less and e-mailed to me at email@example.com. No handwritten or typed, hard-copy entries will be accepted this year.
We'll read through the submissions and choose the one we judge best.
The winner will receive four movie passes to Brenden Theatres. The runner-up will receive two movie passes.
But we have added something new as well this year. When we received several entries from children last year, we decided to add a prize for our junior writers.
So this year, entries from youths age 12 and under will be welcomed and the best will receive two movie passes. Again, they must be sent by e-mail.
Deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17. Only one entry per family will be accepted. The winners will be notified by Monday, Oct. 22, and must be available for a photograph and interview at that time.
The winning story will be published in the Perspectives section of The Reporter just before Halloween, on Sunday, Oct. 28.
All entries will be printed on our website at www.TheReporter.com/scary.
Remember to include your home address, work and home phone numbers with your scary story entry.
So there you have it.
We need you to give us (as Brian would say) the bitter ending to our woeful tale. So channel your inner Hamlin and give us your creative best.
The author is managing editor of The Reporter and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow her online at Twitter.com/RobinMiller1883.

The Worst Cruise Impressions
Where are you most likely to see the worst possible impressions ever about cruise ships? Only movies, television series and major newspapers.

Board chair touts innovate measures
The Anoka County Board of Commissioners has voted in favor of a 2014 budget that cuts the net property tax levy by $1 million to $96,517,399, comparable to levy levels a decade ago.
The proposed 2014 budget of $278,047,330 should result in property tax reductions for most low- and moderate-value Anoka County homes and many commercial and industrial properties. This is the third consecutive year the levy has been lowered.
Board of Commissioners Chair Rhonda Sivarajah points to innovate solutions such as imaging software which reduces paper usage, utility management programs in county buildings, and the County Board's focus on paying with cash and reducing debt. Teleconferencing software will reap future savings, allowing employees to attend meetings and trainings sessions online.
More evening hours are being added at the Rum River and Northtown libraries and the Ramsey License Center will be open additional morning hours to better meet customer needs. In addition, the county is constructing many road projects using concrete rather than asphalt because the price difference has lessened. Using concrete doubles the life of the roadway and eliminates potholes. The 2014 Capital Improvement Program includes nearly $54 million in capital investments.
Using technology to make government more accessible to citizens and customers is also a priority. The county will launch a website in the coming year with the priority on mobile access. Obsolete election equipment is being replaced with new technology that is easier for voters and election workers to use and more efficient at counting absentee ballots.
The county's transparency efforts earned a Sunny Award from the nationally acclaimed Sunshine Review. This year, only 247 of the more than 7,000 government websites ranked by Sunshine Review earned a Sunny Award. Anoka County is the only county in Minnesota to receive a perfect rating.
In addition to lowering the property tax levy, the County Board in August repealed the Minnesota Wheelage Tax, saving taxpayers $1.4 million annually. This move occurred after the board was faced with doubling the tax to $10 or eliminating it.

Roadkill - RabbitItem #: 20207
Roadkill - Rabbit
A rabbit poem
This Road Runner went to see his bunny for some honey. Half way there he crossed a road and got run over like a toad. A car squashed our rabbit man and he never made it to his den. His sweet bunny lady still waits for him, thinking of all the joy that might have been.
The Roadkill Rabbit is a cool cuddly toy and a great Halloween decoration for kids. The lolling tongue, bulging eye and the tire print across his back give you an idea of what happened to our poor rabbit. The rabbit features a zip so you can open his abdomen and pull out his fabric blood and guts. For more gory decorations for children check out the Roadkill Squirrel and the Roadkill - Hedgehog!

Last night Stacey Bendet presented her Spring 2014 collection for alice + olivia at Highline Stages in NYC. This season's collection is "at the crossroads of prep-meets-pretty – a romantic twist on American sportswear." You can always expect pretty dresses and cute tops from Stacey. For SS14, I've been seeing lots of whites on the runway and I expect to see more. The collection was built around neutrals accented by pops of pastel; pink, aqua, yellow and silver complement nude, bone, black and white. And looks like the crop tops aren't going anywhere, they're seen everywhere on the runway once again.
Key pieces play on proportion and include the mini skirt, slip dress, crop top, little white suit, and an updated blazer. From beaded jackets slung over collared shirts to modern collarless blazers paired with sexy lace short-shorts, ball gown skirts for daytime and crop tops for all the time, spring is about mixing prep with pretty in a fresh way.
Spring 2014 is the season of the white shoe.

A BRIERLEY Hill man is set to appear in court accused of violent disorder during a demonstration in Birmingham.
Jake Hill, aged 21, of Mill Street, is among twenty men arrested after an English Defence League protest in July 2013.
The men were detained during a nationwide police hunt for people involved in alleged violence in the city centre which included an appeal on the BBC Crimewatch programme.
EDL supporters gathered in Centenary Square for the July 20 protest, a counter demonstration took place in Chamberlain Square at the same time.
Around 2,000 people were involved in the two protests and a total of 31 people have been identified from the images of 57 people released during the appeal.
Jake Hill is due to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court on Thursday February 27.

Hi everyone, I've been browsing from the outside for a while now and I finally got round to signing up, Thanks for having me.
New to this forum stuff found this place while looking for a home theater system. Looking for a speakers have a ps3 connected to a smart tv.
Thanks for your help
Hello everyone! Love the community here!
Hello people. I was sent to this forum via Tekzilla of Revision3. You came highly recommended.
My actual name is Igor.
Hi everyone!
I am currently working on business related to projections and as I met before AVS forum is alway first step to get some information for me. Thank you.
Question, how does one delete their post/comment? Only have [edit] and [flag] icons, no "X" in the middle? Thanks in advance.
Hi everybady, thanks for the welcome. I'm from Morocco and I'm here to learn new things.
Hello all, been a lurker learning and researching. Trying to slowly evolve our living room into more of a media room that looks more like an ordinary room.
Hello everyone. Been looking on here the past week or so for some advice regarding some home theater questions. This site has the best info and very informed users, so I signed up.
Thanks for the welcome Scott. Much appreciated. Also, a big Hi to you all and thanks for having me.
I am an avid movie lover and music lover. I like virtually all types of music from rock to bluegrass and everything in between.
For A/V equipment I do not have the most impressive list of equipment but it does keep me happy. I am due to upgrade the receiver and probably the speakers in the coming year or so. I currently have a Denon AVR-4308ci audio receiver. For speakers I have 3 pairs of the older Bose AM 5's with their subs - front, center and rear L/R channels, with a Bose VCS-10 center channel and two 12" 300w energy subs for shakers. I have just recently purchased the Sharp LC-90LE657U to hang above the center channel. As I like to game a bit as well, I have two PS3's and an XBOX 360 and just recently acquired PS4.
I also have a Sharp LC-70LE735U TV downstairs connected to a cheapie1000w 5.1 surround in a box Samsung system for my girl or the family to play and/or watch her movies on as well. The XBOX 360 is connected here as well. I mainly use my PS3's for video streaming from a custom built gaming computer downstairs so there is one connected to each system - upstairs as well as down. The PS4 is my gaming system upstairs. All main components upstairs are connected via Monster HDMI with HDMI used downstairs as well. I found that upstairs (main system) I had to use a separate digital audio cable for my Panasonic DMP-BDT320 Blue Ray player for 3D as my receiver's HDMI I/O's are not the newer 3D compatible ones. So, I just use HDMI direct to the TV from my player for the 3D movies with the digital audio out to the Denon. All power for my main system upstairs is managed by a Home Theater Monster Reference PowerCenter HTS 3500 MK II with clean power stage three filtering. Works for me! ;-)
I guys, I'm new here, I come from Italy.

Greetings everyone,
Am old school EE, musician (guitar) and self described audiophile. Looking forward to
dialogue from AVS members.
Hi all,
I am a cheap skate bottom feeder when it comes to tech equipment. I HATE paying money to cable companies. I live on top of a ridge 18 miles SE of Pittsburgh and get >30 channels from rabbit ears -- even in my basement. My girl friend is paying nearly $200 a month to Comcast at her house and I'm bent on showing her that we can get 95% of the content she's watching for 25% of the cost. I'm here for antenna info, along with tuners and extenders. I've already found out some GREAT info here and promise to post as I continue to configure my system.
Looking forward to learning more about Samsung LED TVs and how to optimize the picture quality and how to calibrate it. I hope to be able to help Someone someday as well.
Hello everybody!
I used to work part time as an assistant to a local technician and not that long ago (around 2005) it seems all we ever fixed where RPTVs and Laptops so I am here to help share my knowledge and get some help with other areas I am not so schooled in!
Hope to chat with ya'll soon
Hello everyone from Spain! Love the community here!
Greetings. I found this forum researching a new TV and main speakers. There seems to be a wealth of information here. Thanks for the welcome.
Thank you for the welcome, Scott. I just unwrapped my first HDTV today (first of many, I hope) and have already found a forum pertaining to my purchase. I am sure I will enjoy this site.
Hello guys, I've been a member of head-fi since '06 and have quite the collection of headphones, headphone amps, and portable audio. I recently bought my first house and was directed here to discuss home audio. I'll be posting another thread with specifics. Look for me there!
I have acquired a Samsung HCM4216W in exchange for some auto & home repair I did.
I posted a lot, lol. I'll be glad to anyone out if I I information on the subject.
It has worked fine for 2 years. From what I've been reading for 6 days it appears I need convergence board or amp IC's. The red picture not converging ( if that's correct way to say it). I have blurred picture (red pic and then a blue pic on screen) of which are not aligning together. I did "mute 1,8,3" and I can't get the red to align correctly. It is warped on the top left. I did " perfect focus" and now it's worse. It's as if it's black & white with a few hues of red and blue in the picture.
Is it hard to replace the IC/ and or the Convergence board? Just take the screws off the IC's and it pulls out or is it soldered? I currently have STK392-040. I don't see any burnt areas on the circuit board or anywhere else so far.
Nor do I know where to get such parts? Is there a comparability issue with correct parts. Meaning Samsung only parts. I read some threads that said I can get a kit. Does any kits have both the board and IC's and all I do is assemble?
I can usually repair anything if I have some guidance/ info on what I'm doing, lol. Common sense goes a long way.
I am Michele from the Netherlands, I repair 50" plasma's as a hobby.
Mostly working on Samsungs and currently a Philips Ambilight.
I look forward to becoming an active member of your community. Seeking advice on FOCAL 800 and 900 series speakers.
I am currently putting together a 7.1 system for a dedicated theater. The room is 12'X19' and the receiver is a Denon x4000. The theater will beu sed for 100% movies.
I have pretty much decided to go with the Focal Chorus 800's as my speakers, but looking for a little more advice.
Here is the speaker combination I am thinking of.
Front LR: 814V
Center: CC 814V
Surrounds: SR 800V
Rear Surrounds: 806V or 807V
Sub: Sunfire HRS-10
OR 900 Series:
Front LR: 918
Center: CC 908
Surrounds: 908
Rear Surrounds: 908
Sub: Sunfire HRS-10
please suggest for good combination speakers for my home theater.
Greetings all.
I'm a newbie here for posting, but I lurked and found good data here for my first HDTV purchase years ago. Now I'm planning to cut the cable and I'm finding some good info on that.
hi everybody from italy.
I'm a really newbie looking for some help to setuo some old suff i got!
Thanks to everybody
Thanks for the welcome. I'm new on this world and I'm happy to be here.
I just bought a couple of speakers and sure will need a lot of advices to complete my sound system.
Thanks in advance at all you!
I am a new member and anxious to explore AVS and its many forums. This looks like a veritable treasure trove of knowledge regarding home electronics and entertainment. I have several TV's from the el cheapo 32 inch sets in my bedrooms to my main TV a 60 inch LG Plasma. I use a sound bar and also Onyko tuner amplifier with surround sound speakers Some of the assorted electronics have been overcome by events and technology. Trying to keep on the cutting edge is a sure way to poverty. Yes, I have ipads, cell phones, kindle and enjoy all of the devices. My TV is supplied by DISH with 2 hoppers and 3 joeys that make viewing a interesting mix and versatility. I expect to learn a lot from the forums and hope I can contribute to the discussions. Did I mention I am an old fart that started on the Internet at 2400 baud right after Al Gore invented it! LOL. Best wishes to all.

Today Orlando — tomorrow the world!
On my latest trip to Florida, I scheduled a site visit and an interview with the country's newest yerba mate entrepreneur. John Guerra is the self-described "owner and janitor" of the Yerba Yerba Cafe and Workshop. He has focused his considerable exuberance on creating an exciting new yerba mate business in Orlando and his goal is to make the yerba mate experience more user friendly for the U.S. market. By the time I left, I had concluded — If you could make money by selling enthusiasm and innovation, John was destined to become a millionaire.
It all started with John Guerra's brother, Paul, one of Florida's quintessential "surfer dudes." As a surfer, Paul's need for energy was supported by a constant diet of the popular Red Bull energy drink. Then he was introduced to yerba mate. The celebrated South American infusion found a new believer in Paul and he switched to yerba mate with gusto.
John was intrigued by his older brother's excitement and decided to try yerba mate for himself. Now there were two young men who couldn't contain their enthusiasm. They told all of their friends and family and it didn't take long for the two brothers and their father, Steve, to start developing a business plan. John says his father serves as the "suit" in their cottage enterprise, keeping the business fiscally responsible.
They located a family farm in Argentina that could produce a high quality yerba mate for them to "private label" with their new brand name — Yerba Yerba. The loose tea product was packaged in "leaf only" (sin palo) and "whole plant" (con palo). For their modest product launch, they did all of their own packaging and shipping from a small industrial office/warehouse just outside of Orlando. Yerba Yerba was off and running.
The ever-practical Steve kept warning them the U.S. market was never going to buy in to the traditional South American custom of sipping yerba mate from a gourd through a bombilla. These discussions evolved into a core Yerba Yerba mission of making yerba mate more user friendly.
They reasoned the messy clean up of yerba mate could be eliminated if they took the popular tea bag concept a step further. The answer was an oversized Yerba Yerba tea bag. Most yerba mate tea bags hold 1.5 to 3 grams of yerba. Yerba Yerba offers jumbo 6 and 12 gram bags.
The giant sized tea bags can be used in several ways. Put one in a coffee cup and fill and refill the cup with hot water until the yerba mate becomes lavado (or "washed out"). This repetitive refilling procedure is similar to the way South Americans sip for hours from their gourd — but without the lengthy preparation ritual and the messy clean up afterwards.
You can also put a bag in a pitcher or a large sport drink bottle and fill it with cold water to make terere, a cold yerba mate similar to iced tea. The container can be topped off or refilled for multiple uses from the same bag. John says his customers are coming up with new uses for the jumbo sized bags all the time.
One creative use of the giant tea bags is to make mate cocido, or brewed mate, in an automatic drip coffee maker. It's pre-measured in a way that simplifies the brewing process and there is no messy cleanup. Here is how I suggest you do it:
1. Pour the desired amount of cool water into the reservoir of the coffee maker.
2. Place the tea bag in the bottom of the carafe and soak with cool water.
3. IMPORTANT: Let the tea bag steep for three minutes or more in the cool water.
4. Place the soaking wet tea bag in the brewing basket.
5. Turn on the coffee maker, brew and enjoy.
The 6 gram bag is perfect for about 4 cups of mate cocido. This should yield about three 11 ounce mugs of yerba mate. The 12 gram bag is just about right for an 8 to 10 cup coffee maker. You could adjust the strength in two ways: Steep the bags in the cool water less time to make it weaker — more time to make it stronger, or use more than one bag to make it a lot stronger.
John talks passionately about his business and yerba mate. "When people say: 'tell me about mate,' I could go on and on and on…" he says. But, he is trying to be more passive these days, saying "I try to hold back on it, because it sounds like an infomercial." John also says he receives more satisfaction from his new approach: "Give them the cup. Let the people drink it. Then, they will tell you why it's great."
Armed with new innovative brewing methods and the spirit of Johnny Appleseed, Guerra claims a retail operation had to follow. This was the birth of their new Yerba Yerba Cafe and Workshop. The distinctive black and yellow "mate bar" makes a miniscule footprint measuring only about 12 feet by 20 feet — including the kitchen and restroom. A note to sippers: It may be small, but it does have Wi-Fi.
The little mate bar sells tea bags and loose yerba. You can also buy a freshly brewed cup of yerba mate, either hot or cold, for only one dollar. The limited menu offers variations as unique as the rest of the Yerba Yerba concept. It was the first time I ever tried Tabasco flavored yerba mate for example — and I liked it too. John now has a regular clientele and boasts of converting plenty of former coffee and Red Bull drinkers to the much healthier alternative.
The fledgling brand is now on a quest to put Yerba Yerba into as many local establishments as possible. I had lunch at one such local eatery — The Dandelion Cafe. The waitress took great pride in telling me the yerba mate they served was a "high quality, locally branded, organic product."
Can you believe John has accomplished all of this in just a year and a half? I don't know what's next for Yerba Yerba, but I have great confidence in the outcome.

Paperwhite owners, how long did it take you to get used to no page turn buttons?

What I don't like about page turning is that it is not clear whether the page turned to previous or next page. I can't be careful all the time to tap correct zone. The page turns but on what direction?
When I lost the page, it gets a bit more difficult to find it by carefully moving forward and bacward. I remember the last sentence I read and this sentence was at the bottom of the page. However, when I was moving forward and bacward looking for this sentence at the end of the pages, the sentence change its place. Finally, at last, I find it in the middle of the screen. This occurs especially if there is a page break somewhere.
Moreover, I open top menu at the top and change remeining time display at the bottom unintentionally. It is hard to get used to. Besides, vertical scrolling is not supported, just left and right.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Ba-Da-Bing! Braciole Burgers
Americans love their T.V., and few things are as identified with New Jersey as the television phenomenon "The Sopranos," the inspiration for this burger. Growing up in the melting pot that is New Jersey (I live in Nevada now, but I lived in New Jersey for half of my childhood), I was well aware of its large Italian-American community. Few states could offer the Garden State's variety of Italian delis, mom and pop "hole in the walls", and pizza joints, each one more authentic than the next. This proud culture is a unique part of New Jersey's "personality," and it was well, if not comically, represented by the Tony and Carmella Soprano, and their food-loving family and friends.
Within every new episode of "The Sopranos," you could count on two things. One was that Tony would be spending time at the Ba-Da-Bing! club, and the second was that Carmella would have a "nice braciole" in the fridge. Braciole is a common Italian-American dish, involving a thin cut of steak wrapped around a filling that often includes sausage, pine nuts, raisins, pancetta, and seasonings. The filled steak is braised in tomato sauce until it is cooked through and tender. It is the quintessential Sunday dinner meal, but perhaps too heavy for those muggy New Jersey summer nights. This burger, an Americanized version of all of the flavors that make braciole great, would be the perfect substitute. Sweet New Jersey tomatoes play a starring role in the sauce.
1 head radicchio
Ice water
For the Jersey Tomato Pancetta Sauce:
2 cups Jersey grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons Colavita olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup small diced pancetta (about 4 ounces)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons Sutter Home Zinfandel
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
For the grilled radicchio:
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup Colavita olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the patties:
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage links, casings removed
1/4 cup Sutter Home Zinfandel
1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups loosely packed arugula leaves
Vegetable oil for brushing the grill
For assembly:
6 thick slices provolone cheese
6 soft Ciabatta square sandwich rolls, split
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the radicchio into quarters lengthwise, keeping some of the stem attached. Submerge the radicchio in a large bowl of ice water for 30 minutes to take out some of the bitterness (cover the radicchio with a plate to keep submerged if necessary.)
In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a 12-inch fireproof or cast iron skillet on the grill rack over medium-hot heat. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and roast, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes start to char and are popping, 6-8 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes back to the bowl and wipe out the skillet. Place the skillet back on the grill rack and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes, until the fat has mostly rendered and the pancetta begins to crisp. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, stirring frequently, 4 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, Zinfandel, Worcestershire, and crushed red pepper. Add the roasted tomatoes and mash them with the back of a rubber spatula or spoon. Simmer the sauce for 4-5 minutes longer to thicken, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
Grill the radicchio: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, thyme, crushed red pepper, olive oil, and vinegar, Season with salt and pepper. Drain the radicchio on paper towels, patting them dry. Place the radicchio in a shallow baking dish, carefully open up the leaves and spoon the olive oil mixture inside. Grill the radicchio over medium-high heat, until it has browned on all sides, turning occasionally with tongs, 6-8 minutes. Return the radicchio to the shallow baking dish; cover to keep warm.
Prepare the patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sausage, Zinfandel, pine nuts, parsley, raisins, oregano, sage, and salt and mix well, handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the rolls.
Coarsely chop the grilled radicchio. Mix it with the arugula and reserved olive oil mixture in the shallow baking dish and set aside.
Grill the patties: Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. During the last few minutes of grilling, place one slice of cheese on each patty and place the rolls, cut sides down, around the circumference of the grill to lightly toast.
Assemble the burgers: Top the bottom halves of the Ciabatta rolls with some of the grilled radicchio-arugula salad. Spread the top halves of the rolls with a thick layer of the tomato-pancetta sauce. Place a patty on the bottom halves, add the top halves, and serve immediately!
Other tomatoes may be substituted for Jersey tomatoes. Foccacia may be substituted for ciabatta, if desired.
