Setu Lounge Chair by Herman Miller (ottoman sold separately)
designed by Studio 7.5
At A Glance:
Sharing the same design cues as the unmistakably innovative Setu Chair, the Setu Lounge is its technologically-savvy and more relaxed sibling.
Commissioned by furniture design giant Herman Miller, and designed by the gifted Studio 7.5 out of Germany, the Setu Lounge has an impeccable pedigree. The research, design, and execution of the Setu Lounge was shepherded at every step by the best designers and furniture minds in the world. When Herman Miller first contacted Studio 7.5 to do the work, the goal was simple: a lounge chair that was comfortable, environmentally responsible, stunning to look at, and a perfect fit for the modern home. The designers at Studio 7.5 responded with a chair that met and exceeded every immodest goal: the Setu Lounge.
What's To Like:
With a contoured, flexible back, the Setu Lounge brings slim, modern comfort to the table - or in this case, the living room. Absence of padding doesn't indicate absence of comfort. Setu will cradle you in a semi laid back position just like it was made to do.
What's Not to Like:
If you're bigger, the Setu Lounge might not have enough seat real estate to give you a truly comfortable sitting experience. It depends on what you prefer - an expansive seat or a slim design.
The Bottom Line:
The Setu Lounge is a beautiful chair to look at, will fit perfectly in the modern home, and makes a stunning impression on just about everyone who sees it. Its comfort and design aesthetic collaborate to provide the perfect place to relax.

About the Designer
The Setu Chair was designed by a studio and commissioned by a company that consider themselves artists and designers first, engineers second. The line of the Setu Chair is striking and original. Consisting of four unpredictable curves, the appearance is almost that of a flower; the Setu Chair petals out from a recessed core at the juncture of the back and seat. Each curve of the Setu Chair is meaningful, however. Studio 7.5 and Herman Miller abandoned the superfluous and the unnecessary when designing the Setu, holding firm to the belief in materials and less is more that made their name. The front edge falls off the chair like a waterfall, which decreases pressure on the thighs and increases blood flow. The same principle applies to the small curve at the top of the chair, which is meant to cradle the neck. The unique pocket created by the juncture of the back and seat is designed to accommodate any size and shape, and help the chair adjust to any user. These curves are both beautiful, functional, and smart.
The make-up of the Herman Miller Setu Chair is somewhat controlled by the user (customizable colors and a height adjustment), but the designers have built a beautiful chair, tip to toe. Graceful in form, study at the base, and composed of elastomeric fibers that allow the user to see right through it. The Kinematic Spine, which is molded to the back and seat of the chair, is another striking and transparent design form.
The Setu Chair is a wonder of engineering, the first office chair made exclusively for the modern world. The Kinematic Spine is one of the most important design elements on the Setu Chair. A hyper-responsive, intuitive design element, the Kinematic Spine enables your unlimited and ultra-comfortable movement in the Setu Chair. The look of the Kinematic Spine reflects the name, and the exoskeleton look of it enhances the aesthetic value of the chair while collaborating with German engineering to make it the most comfortable, intuitive chair ever built. When you're in a Setu, the Kinematic Spine allows you freedom of movement. The Kinematic Spine is what makes the Setu Chair the only chair where absolutely no adjustments are necessary for optimum comfort: the chair reads your body, and reacts accordingly. Smart.
The shape of the Kinematic Spine, like the shape of the Setu Chair, is inspired by natural beauty the needs of the human body. The Setu takes the best of science and technology, combines it with the latest research in ergonomics, and puts it to use in a great chair. The elastomeric fabric that serves as the back and seat of the chair is a mesh, allowing for semi-transparency and the free passage of air through the chair. That keeps it cool, in more ways than one. Literally cool in that it prevents the build up of heat that can happen with solid or leather chairs and cause discomfort and sweating, and cool in the way it adds to the technological and aesthetic quality of the chair. As Herman Miller says: "There has never been a chair like Setu, nor could there ever have been, before now." That's because a chair with so much imagination was never before able to combine with the nearly unlimited potential of the ever-evolving technological revolution.

Questions & Answers
Product Q&A
Q: Where can I find the other version of the Setu Chair?
A: Setu Chair
Q: How do I clean it?
A: H-Alloy Base, Frame, Kinematic Spine, and Arms: For normal cleaning, wash surface with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water.Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Lyris Suspension Material: For normal cleaning, vacuum material as needed using an upholstery attachment. Vacuuming picks up dust and reduces the need for professional cleaning. Do not brush fabric or use a vacuum attachment with a rotary brush. Brushing may permanentlydamage the nap or change the character of the fabric.
To spot-clean fabric, immediately soak up the stain with a soft absorbent cloth. Do not dry the stain completely or it may set. The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more difficult it is to remove. For water-based stains such as coffee, soft drinks, fruit juices, or milk use a water-basedcleaner (specifically made for cleaning fabric) or a solution of mild (alkaline) warm soapy water(not overly soapy) applied with a damp clean cloth or sponge. Work the cleaner into a lather or foam. Never use hot water; it will set the stain. Avoid scrubbing.
For oil-based stains such as lipstick, grease, or salad dressing use a dry cleaning solutionapplied with a damp clean cloth or sponge. Test the cleaning solution on a small, concealedarea first. If there is no spotting, ringing, or damage to the fabric or its dyes, apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area with light, quick strokes. Begin at the outside of the stain andwork toward the center, being careful not to over-saturate the fabric. K2r is also a product thatcan be used. See product label for complete instructions.
Do not over apply water or any liquid solution to fabric. Excessive wetting of the fabric with any liquid solution may result in permanent damage to the material.
Do not rub too vigorously or you may damage the nap of the fabric or break fibers. Several light applications are better than one heavy application. Soak up all remaining solution and then use another clean cloth or sponge dipped in coolwater to remove any residue.
Let fabric dry thoroughly and then vacuum well before using.If the stain resists cleaning, call a professional cleaner.
Q: Is the Setu Lounge recyclable?
A: Yes. The Setu Lounge is composed of aluminum, plastic and steel, 93 percent of which is easily recyclable. Herman Miller designed the Setu Lounge to be a responsible product, starting with the zero emissions manufacturing facility it was built in, continuing with the recyclable and re-usable packaging in which Setu is sent to vendors, and ending with the recycling of the product itself. 44 percent of the materials used in the chair have themselves been recycled.
Q: How durable is the Setu Lounge?
A: Setu is guaranteed for 12 years by Herman Miller.

ST. LOUIS - Jay Bruce homered and had five RBIs and the Cincinnati Reds got a dominant effort from Homer Bailey to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0 on Wednesday night and avoid a three-game sweep.
The Reds came out swinging a few hours after Brandon Phillips' expletive-filled tirade at a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter sparked by scrutiny of his .310 on-base percentage, and after manager Dusty Baker criticized his team for falling short while dropping four of five.
The Cardinals lead the NL Central by a half-game over Pittsburgh after losing for the third time in 12 games, and the Reds are 3� games back.
Bailey (9-10) capped a six-run first against Adam Wainwright (15-8) with the Reds' sixth hit and his first RBI of the season. He allowed five hits in 7 1-3 innings with seven strikeouts and is 4-0 in his past six starts.
The poor start was unusual for Wainwright, who matched his career worst with nine runs allowed and lasted two innings for his shortest outing of the year.
He had worked at least seven innings his previous eight starts and was coming off a complete game against the Braves.
Phillips singled his first two at-bats and struck out his next two trips while going 2 for 5.
The Reds also got RBIs from Ryan Ludwick and Todd Frazier in the first with another run scoring on a wild pitch. Zack Cozart got the first of his three hits when Wainwright failed to cover first.
Phillips singled and Joey Votto walked again to open the second, setting the table for Bruce's 26th homer on a 1-2 pitch. It's his third five-RBI game, one of them against the Cardinals in 2009.
Rookie Michael Wacha was a bright spot for St. Louis, following Wainwright with four scoreless innings and seven strikeouts.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Sunday afternoon that he is inclined to play anyone that is healthy in his team's exhibition finale against the Seattle Seahawks, a break from the norm in the NFL, when teams typically rest their projected starters.
Even so, you won't see starting center Stefen Wisniewski play against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Allen said as much Sunday.
It's possible that wide receiver Denarius Moore's hamstring injury will be healthy enough for him to play in that game. If not, Allen said he is confident that Moore will be ready to play in the regular-season opener Sept. 10.
Those are just a few of the nuggets gleaned from a 15-plus minute conference call with coach Allen on Sunday. Here's a sampling of Allen's thoughts on his players and their progress:
— Kicker Sebastian Janikowski's groin injury isn't "a big deal," Allen said. That's the hope, at least.
Allen said Janikowski suffered "basically a sore groin" while attempting to run down Justin Miller on a kick return Saturday. Heck, there's even a chance of Janikowski playing against the Seahawks.
The smart money says, Allen holds out Janikowski, lets Eddy Carmona handle the kicking duties and gives Janikowski as much time as possible to heal in time for the opener.
— Wide receiver Jacoby Ford (left foot) now is able to walk around pain-free without the protective boot that he has sported since he got injured against the Cardinals.
"So, we're making some progress there," Allen said.
Ford still is using the boot from time to time, though. It's doubtful that Ford will heal in time for the Seahawks game. The bigger question is, will he be recovered in time for the regular-season opener.
— Allen said defensive tackle Richard Seymour has what amounts to arthritis in one of his knees, which makes it imperative that the Raiders take it easy on their defensive leader.
"it's more of a maintenance deal with Richard," Allen said. "He's got some arthritis, basically, in his knee. So, he gets a little pain, a little swelling, we got to be able to manage that."
Seymour has missed every practice since he played against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 17. He also sat out the Lions game.
Seymour didn't seem too concerned about the situation when asked about it Thursday. These veterans have a way of knowing when to crank it up. This is not the time.
— Already, names of players being cut by the Raiders in advance of the first mandatory cutdown are surfing on Twitter.
Safety Aaron Henry Tweeted that he has been informed of his release. Fellow safety Chaz Powell also was released, according to league insider Aaron Wilson.
The Raiders, as well as other teams, are required to be at no more than 75 players by Monday afternoon. I am told that the Raiders expect to issue a press release with the first round of player cuts later this afternoon.
— Cornerbacks DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa shouldn't feel too secure about making the 53-man roster this season. Certainly not on the heels of Allen's most-recent assessment about their play Saturday night.
"They were young corners," Allen said in repsonse to what he saw. "We got to continue to work to get better with those guys. They do some good things and then all of a sudden you look up and say, 'Why did they do that?' I'm not totally down on them, but we got to get better there. We got to keep improving."
Van Dyke and Chekwa were being groomed as the heir apparents to Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson last season. Now, they are being pushed by Allen just to show marked improvement.
— Once again, Allen kept in check his praise of second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor, instead leaving it to fans and others to gush without taking into account the big picture.
Then again, that's standard practice for a savvy coach that is hesitant to build up a player too soon for fear of that player feeling as if he has arrived.
"He did good," Allen said after watching tape of the game and getting a better feel for Pryor's play against the Lions. "Obviously, he had his good plays and he had his bad plays, but the thing that I was impressed with and the thing that I took out of the game is there was progress. There was progress on his part."
Allen raved about Pryor's improvement in calling out the plays in a prompt manner, controlling the huddle and the way he executed plays.
— Of the four pre-snap penalties committed by the Raiders in the first quarter Saturday, don't blame the refs, Allen said.
"Every single one of them was a legitimate call," Allen said. "Every single one of them was inexcusable on our part, and we can't have those. We can't have the pre-snap penalties, especially the two where we lined up offsides on defense. We can't do that. That's a lack of focus, that's a lack of discipline. Those issues will be addressed and, as players, we've got to get it corrected."
— Worried about the Raiders special teams play so far? Well, so is Allen. With that said, Allen doesn't sound as concerned as many others.
"It's obviously a concern," Allen said. "We've got to be better in that area. Part of it is the fact that we've had a lot of different people playing a lot of different positions in the return game. We've had different returners back there returning. We haven't had a lot of continuity as far as who those guys have been but, at the same time, we've got to execute better.
"A lot of times it's one or two guys that keep you from having a good play, and you're tackled inside your 15-yard line as opposed to, if you get your one block, maybe it's a big return or if the returner reads it right maybe it's a big return. We're closer than what the stats say, but we've got to be better in that regard."
Punter Shane Lechler said last week that special teams is something that takes time to work out for the very reasons Allen pointed out.
"Special teams is tough during the preseason," Lechler said. "You're sitting in a room with a whole bunch of guys that aren't going to be there. It's a grind. It's just part of the process."
In other words, give it time, folks, before calling for radical changes and coaching moves.

Straight from my kitchen comes my first weekly recipe- easy enchiladas with guacamole dip as an appetizer. The guacamole is a mixture of avocado, edamame, and pesto sauce, with some onion and lemon juice. I like avocado, but in smaller doses, so this is a great mixture of flavors. The enchiladas are super easy and absolutely delicious. To cut down on the number of ingredients, I use a packet of McCormick's Enchilada Seasoning. This recipe actually comes from the back of the seasoning packet. This is not the quickest meal, especially if you also make the guacamole, so give yourself a little time for this one. The result, however, is a hearty meal that is large enough for a group and will please any boyfriend! Fair warning- if you don't have a food processor, the guacamole can be pretty tedious. I don't have a food processor (Though it's on my Christmas list :). That's how you know you're getting old; when your Christmas list consists of work clothes and cooking gadgets!) I actually cook the edamame, then put it in a big plastic bag and mash it up with a hammer, then my hands. Your guacamole will be a little on the chunky side but still delicious!
Edamame Avocado Dip:
- 1 12 oz. package of frozen shelled edamame
- 1 medium avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut up
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. purchased basil pesto
- 3/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- chopped tomato (optional)
- pita chips (I love Stacy's Pita Chips)
Combine edamame, avocado, onion, lemon juice, pesto, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until nearly smooth (or chop and mix well by hand). Top with chopped tomato and serve with pita chips.
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 package McCormick® Enchilada Sauce Mix
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey (I use Laura's Lean Beef)
- 8 corn or flour tortillas (6-inch), warmed
- 1 cup shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
- low fat sour cream
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix water, tomato sauce and Sauce Mix in medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. While sauce is cooking, brown beef in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Drain fat. Stir 1/2 cup sauce into meat. Spoon about 1/4 cup meat filling onto each tortilla. Roll tortillas tightly. (Tip: use a little of the sauce as a kind of glue to hold the tortillas together.) Pour a little sauce into the bottom of a greased 11×7-inch baking dish. Place enchiladas seam-side down in dish, and pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Top with sour cream. This makes about 6 enchiladas. (I split it up into two smaller dishes to make saving leftovers easier.)

San Antonio comeback stuns Memphis in OT
Tim Duncan scored the first five points of overtime, and the San Antonio Spurs rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 104-93 Saturday night and move a win away from the NBA Finals.
The Spurs grabbed a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals and now have won five straight this postseason. With the memory of blowing a 2-0 lead a year ago in the West finals to Oklahoma City, when they lost the next four, the Spurs shook off their sloppy play early and pushed the young Grizzlies to the edge of elimination in the first West final played in Memphis.
San Antonio, which didn't lead this game until the opening minute of the fourth quarter, can wrap up the series Monday in Memphis.

Picture it with me. You're laying in bed, or driving in the car…cooking or cleaning, exercising, whatever you do when you stew…and you can't stop thinking about that circumstance, conflict or decision.
You think about it in hundreds of different ways. What if I did this? No, that wouldn't be good, because then "that" would happen. Okay, so what if I asked her to talk to so-and-so…but then I'm involving someone else, and she might think bad of me. But if I do this, something will fall through at home or work. I know, I'll tell him one thing in hopes that it might lead to the other thing.
And we just. keep. going. Plotting, stirring, stewing…on and on…coaxing with God one minute, then working to solve the equations ourselves the next minute. Maybe it's because we're weary of waiting, maybe it's a habit, maybe we believe that God helps those who help themselves, and He gave us marbles, so we best use them or lose them.
Whatever the case, the Lord was ready and waiting for my attention this morning so that He could deliver a message to me from His Word. I immediately wrote it on a sticky note and slapped it on my forehead. ;0
"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD." Proverbs 21:30
- *We can't outwit God. Yes, it's fine for us to think through a situation, but it's not fine for us to take matters into our own hands. He sees the whole thing. He sees ahead. He knows what needs doing. We can whole-heartedly, undoubtedly, unmistakably rely on Him to guide our decisions as we trust Him with the faith He's given us. He'll continue to teach us about surrendered, Spirit-filled living, and we'll think differently as a result.
- *We can't always depend on others to counsel us. Often the second place we turn after stewing is to friends or family. While the Lord will sometimes use those relationships to guide us, sometimes He doesn't, especially when we don't consult Him first. Another reason to wait and rely upon Him. As we do so, He will lead us to phone a friend, or even better, He'll lead them to phone us. (love it when that happens). ;)
- *How do we know when our thoughts or the counsel of others is in line with the Lord's? When it falls in line with His Truth. If we are manipulating a person or situation to get our way, it's not from Him (1 Cor. 13:5). If we are losing sleep or being driven to drink/eat, etc, or having physical symptoms of any kind from worry, it's not from Him. (Luke 12:25). If what another person tells us leads us to think ourselves better than another or more entitled and deserving than ever before, it's not from Him. (Philip. 2:3)
- *Even if we do it the "easy" way, the wrong way, the self-serving way, etc, His plan will still come to fruition. Because He loves us, and because of His grace, He will make His plan, the best plan, succeed in the end. We may have consequences from our folly, but He will still forgive us. We may have to wait longer for the good fruit that comes from fully believing, obeying and depending on Him, but He won't let the opportunity pass without teaching us something spectacular (if we are open and listening).
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests & challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open & shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature & well-developed, not deficient in any way. James 1:2-4, The Msg.

Fox's Anti-Tax Zealotry Leads To Conclusion That One Should Make Less Money In Order To Avoid Paying Taxes
A Fox Business correspondent claimed that it was better to forgo nearly $3 million in additional prize money than to pay the roughly $400,000 in taxes due on it, representing a continuation of the baseless Fox News narrative that the rich have unduly high tax burdens.
Professional golfer Phil Mickelson placed second at June's U.S. Open golf tournament. Fox Business correspondent Lauren Simonetti argued on June 19's edition of Fox & Friends First that it may have been better for Mickelson to have lost the tournament and place second, for he would avoid paying nearly $400,000 in additional taxes.
She explained that had Mickelson won the tournament -- and won the $1.44 million first prize -- he would have had to pay an additional $76,000 more in taxes than he paid by placing second and receiving $700,000. Mickelson would have also had to pay an additional $300,000 in taxes on $2.5 million in bonuses paid to him by his sponsors, had he won. She concluded it's better to avoid paying roughly $400,000 in taxes than to win nearly $3 million in after-tax income. Simonetti said this made Mickelson "$400,000 richer."
This conclusion may stem from Fox's zealotry against additional taxes for the rich: the rich, because of their supposed onerous tax burden, need lower taxes in order to continue amassing wealth, or else they may stop working.
The idea that the wealthiest Americans have a disproportionately high tax burden is a fabrication Fox has pushed for years. However, a February 15 New York Times article reported that incomes for top earners rose more than 11 percent during the recovery from the most recent recession, while the rest saw their incomes decline slightly. As Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz noted in an April 14 New York Times Opinionator blog post, "as the top 1 percent has grown extremely rich, the effective tax rates they pay have markedly decreased." The Center for Tax Justice (CTJ) found that the effective tax rate -- a rate including all federal, state and local taxes paid -- for the wealthiest Americans is not much higher than the effective tax rate for middle class Americans:
In the same report the CTJ found that the precentage of all taxes paid by the wealthy is near the amount of all national income captured by the wealthy.
From this fabrication, Fox has argued that the supposedly high tax burden will make the rich not work or might seek lower taxes in different states. In September 2011, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly equated earnings to achievement and claimed that "if you tax achievement, some of the achievers are going to pack it in." And in September 2010, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade argued that high levels of taxation, to the wealthy, "robs you of your ambition and your push and your drive."
However, the rich have not been doing this. As Reuters reported, millionaires in high tax states, such as Mickelson's home state of California, have not left the state for low-tax alternatives. Mickelson himself suggested in January he may quit golf due to California's income taxes, walking back the statement a day later. If the 2013 U.S. Open results are any indication, Mickelson is still playing golf, presumably because after taxes he still earns millions and because he doesn't take financial advice from Fox.

From an app to help you skip the queue to a music playlist for older adults in senior homes to a sound to text service, five finalists will showcase their apps to compete for cash prizes on December 5. And your vote will make it hAPPen.
Earlier this fall, we asked you to submit your concepts for a mobile app contest. Transforming sound to text. Finding odd-jobs to work around your busy school schedule. Avoiding long lines when you're late for class. These are just a few of the five finalists presenting concept designs for their mobile apps at the Pace Mobile App Design Contest 2.0 hosted by Pace's Entrepreneurship Lab on December 5 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the eLab in Room 344 at 163 William Street on the NYC Campus.
The free, open exhibition will give you the opportunity to meet and hear from all finalists and vote for your favorite to win $500, $250, and $100 cash prizes.
The finalists are:
Alive Inside, created by Seidenberg Computer Science student Keith Wright '17 and Seidenberg MS in Telecommunications and Network Systems student Martine Nezerwa '15, is an application that provides older adults living in senior home with a "music listening list" based on their responses to a series of guided questions and their subsequent selection of songs, artists, and albums.
EventBook, created by Seidenberg Computer Science student Sabiya Bachhus '14, looks to change the way traditional social apps have people spending more time with their devices than socializing with a healthier, natural, and more fulfilling way of inviting one another to social events.
NoteTaker 1.0, created by Lubin MBA in Marketing Management student "Winston" Yen-Chi Hsu '15, helps people transform sound to text such as transcribing interview, lecture, speech, and even song tracks to text.
SetList, created by Dyson Biological Psychology student Judy Acosta '14, gives college students around the country with busy schedules the opportunity to make money with one-time jobs like babysitting, dog walking, tutoring, etc.
SkipDQ, created by Lubin MS in Accounting student Sukhmani Dhanoa '14, puts an end to the great dilemma of choosing coffee or class, creating an on-the-go ordering capability where you can "skip the queue" and pick up your order at a scheduled time.

Take a closer look at the curious 17-year life of the flying bug as the East Coast prepares for an invasion.
Backyard bug-watchers are seeing the winged bugs known as cicadas come out of their holes in New Jersey and North Carolina after 17 years of underground slumber — and scientists say a full-scale outbreak may not be far behind.
"There are some pretty convincing reports coming out," John Cooley, an expert on cicadas at the University of Connecticut, told NBC News. "It's fair to say it's starting, but it's still in the very early stages. It certainly isn't going all crazy. ... When it really happens, it's not going to be like this. It's going to be shovel loads of cicadas."
Cooley maintains one of the most closely watched websites for this spring's emergence, Magicicada.org. Little bug logos are popping up on different areas of Magicicada's interactive map, which means a smattering of Internet users are seeing cicadas coming out of the ground. In some cases, they're even seeing the bugs crawling around as adults.
Cooley, however, says that we ain't seen nothing yet. "When it really happens, we expect that website will just light up," he said.
The outlook is similar on other bug-watching sites — such as Radiolab's Cicada Tracker, which is encouraging listeners to put out their own soil-thermometer setups. Those readings are considered key leading indicators for cicada activity, because researchers have found that the bugs emerge en masse when the springtime soil temperature reaches 64 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius). A different temperature tracker set up by the Sutron information network for the Washington area suggests that the nation's capital still has a way to go before the cicadas come out.
Insects are expected to emerge by the billions on the East Coast, across an area stretching from North Carolina to Connecticut. This army of bugs, known as Brood II, spends 17 years feeding on plant roots underground. Sometime between late April and early June, depending on the weather, the insects burrow out of the ground as nymphs. The juveniles shed their outer skins, crawl up trees or buildings, and fly around to find their mates. The females lay their eggs, and then the adults die in droves. All this happens in the course of four to six weeks.
After another few weeks, a new generation of nymphs hatch from the eggs, drop to the ground, burrow into the soil and begin the next 17-year cycle.
An interactive map provided by Magicicada.org shows this spring's cicada sightings.
Ron Edmonds / AP
Red-eyed cicadas cluster on leaves in Annandale, VA., during the Brood X emergence of 2004. Like Brood II, Brood X comes out every 17 years - but the timing of the cycle is different.
Brood II is just one of several broods of 13-year and 17-year periodical cicadas: The last big bug outbreak featured Brood XIX, which created a huge buzz in Southern states in 2011. This year's emergence is expected to begin in the South as well, though that's not guaranteed.
"Our expectation has been that we would hear from folks in North Carolina first," said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association. However, the only cicada sighting she's actually been able to confirm was made in New Jersey. Although the insects tend to swarm in rural or suburban areas, there's a chance they could be sighted in urban enclaves such as New York's Central Park or the Bronx Zoo as well.
Cooley said he expected the pace of sightings to accelerate in the days ahead. "Within a week or so, it ought to really be going," he told NBC News. "Spring can't hold off forever."
When it comes, a cicada emergence can fill the skies with flying bugs, and fill the ears with a hum as loud as a jet engine or lawn mower. Those who have been through the full-frontal buzz say the experience can be disconcerting if you're not prepared for it. But cicadas are not considered a threat to humans. In fact, they can be quite delicious.
For true bug fans, the best response to the emergence is to lie back and enjoy it. "I'm looking forward to it," said Cornell University entomologist Cole Gilbert, who's expecting to catch the trailing edge of the Brood II outbreak in upstate New York. "I think it's pretty cool."

- Cicada invasion generates early buzz
- In death, cicadas boost plant life
- Tasty cicadas may sicken pets
Thanks to the rapid rise of crowdsourcing and social media, this year's event is sure to become the most tweeted cicada emergence in history: Cicada Mania suggests using the hashtag #BroodII for the 2013 outbreak, and #Cicadas for general cicada issues. If you want to see the Twitterverse from the cicadas' point of view, just follow @Brood_II. There's a Cicada Mania Facebook page for entomophiles. And if you're an entomophobe, you'll find kindred spirits on the "I Hate Cicadas!!!!!!" Facebook page.

Project Trailhugger Hummer H3 Alpha Suspension- Shock Jock
Part 7: Light Racing JounceShocks
Here at Four Wheeler we like Light Racing JounceShocks so much we've installed them on several project rigs. 'Con Artist, Killer Bee, and our Nismo Frontier are some of the recipients of these extraordinary little devices, and we've been very impressed with the results. This month, we install them on our project Trailhugger H3 Alpha.
If you're not familiar with JounceShocks, here's the short version: These devices are basically air springs with damping control that replace the stock bumpstops on your vehicle. Devices like these have been used in the off-road racing scene since the late '80s, but only recently have found their way into the mainstream off-highway market. So what is the benefit? Well, as a supplemental suspension device typically utilized during the last third of suspension travel, JounceShocks provide vastly improved bottoming protection and substantial improvements in gross vehicle motion. In other words, they can do all kinds of tricks that a piece of rubber or urethane can't. As a bonus, they're externally adjustable for compression and rebound, nitrogen and oil fill adjustable, and fully rebuildable.
As you'll recall, our plan for Trailhugger includes keeping the suspension height stock. To some this may seem like a radical decision, but our goal is to explore ways to preserve, and improve, the rig's excellent handling and ride, both on- and off-highway, as well as retain our rig's decent mpg numbers. After all, Trailhugger is a daily driver. With that said, we planned on integrating minimal suspension mods that provide maximum results. In Part 2 (Sept. '08), we installed a set of rugged Rod Hall Racing piggyback shocks. Now, with the addition of these JounceShocks our suspension modifications are complete.
The kit for our H3 Alpha came to us from Light Racing with everything needed to transform the ride and handling. We pointed Trailhugger to Attitude Performance in Arlington Heights, Illinois, where owner Matt Dinelli made it happen. Here are the highlights of this relatively easy install.
Bottom Line
The JounceShock kit for our H3 has a suggested street price of $1,451.71. In the world of off-highway mods, this is not an overly expensive figure, but it ain't cheap either. This begs the question: Is it worth it? We say heck yeah. During our initial testdrive on a rough road we drive almost every day, we were blown away at the improvement in handling and ride. Because the design of the H3 IFS positions the lower A-arms against the bumpstops at rest, the addition of the JounceShocks made an instant, dramatic improvement to the ride and handling from the front of the vehicle because they're almost always in use. Now, instead of contacting chunks of urethane during uptravel, the lower A-arms contact the domed feet of the JounceShocks, which pushes the shafts into the bodies, which absorbs the force of the upward traveling suspension in a controlled manner. The rear ride quality has been unaffected in normal driving and we've only seen small signs that the rear JounceShocks have been in contact with the new hit pads. Where they'll increase performance is when the truck is heavily loaded, towing, blasting across rough terrain, or jumping.
We have to admit we were a bit cynical and we expected to have to experiment with the compression and rebound settings of the JounceShocks. Turns out the Light Racing team did a fantastic job and we've been very satisfied with the factory settings. For reference, Light Racing says that the front JounceShock for our application ships with 130 psi and the rear ships with 40 psi.
We did swap out the standard hard-nylon domed feet on the front JounceShocks for a softer material. When the lower A-arms droop and then travel upward to contact the JounceShock, we were hearing a clicking noise. Light Racing says this is normal and is an indication that the JounceShock is being applied. Our personal preference was to eliminate the noise. The softer domed feet may wear a tad faster than the nylon, but we don't mind replacing them once a year or so.
Are there any downsides to the JounceShocks? Not that we can figure. They don't impede suspension travel and they don't hang down or protrude. They just do good things.

Low-Cost Transportation Coop
The COOP-14 was inspired by our very popular COOP-10. The dimensions are exactly the same, allowing it to be completely stackable with both the COOP-7 and the COOP-10.
The price of this unit has been dramatically reduced by the elimination of the side door and solid bottom (bottom is an open, grated style). All other features of this coop remain the same, thus making it the most economical transportation coop currently available on the market.
The COOP-14 is also shipped knocked-down to provide additional savings in transportation costs.
Dimensions: 38" L x 23" W x 10 ½" H or 97 x 58 x 27 centimeters.

Following years of layoffs, budget cuts and surge in violent crime, several police departments across the San Francisco Bay area are hiring again.
According to the Bay Area News Group ( https://bit.ly/XlVc7u ), the addition of about 480 police officers to stabilize the ranks of 13 law enforcement agencies will help beef up street patrols and investigative units.
The hiring of the additional officers comes after many area police departments, including Oakland and San Jose, lost nearly 1,000 officers when the economy began to decline about five years ago.
Both cities have seen crime, especially homicides, spike since the cuts.
San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer says the incoming officers to his department could provide sorely needed manpower that could bring faster response times to calls for help.
None of the agencies, however, said it planned to offer new services.

HOUSTON – With Monday's stunning development that the New England Revolution and Steve Nicol had parted ways, talk immediately began of who would replace the iconic head coach. Not surprisingly, one of Nicol's longtime charges was one of the first names floated.
But Steve Ralston shot down any rumors of first contact with his old team on Tuesday, adding that the reports and rumor-mongering are the extent of the Dynamo assistant coach's knowledge of the subject.
"When I came in this morning, some of the guys asked about it, but I just read it this morning and that's all I know about it," Ralston told the media after training Tuesday. "I played there for eight years and I enjoyed my time there. But my job right now is to help this team prepare for the playoffs.
"I just feel really bad for [Nicol] and that's all I'm thinking about it right now. He's a good man and good coach and I feel for him."
The former Revolution stalwart is a logical candidate for the position. Ralston was a beloved member of the team and soccer community in New England, and a big reason they made it to four MLS Cup finals during his eight seasons with the Revolution.
After retiring in 2010, Ralston replaced Portland Timbers head coach John Spencer on Houston's staff. Since then, Ralston has worked with Dynamo head man Dominic Kinnear to not only improve the Dynamo, but work on Ralston's nascent coaching skills.
"He's more comfortable talking with the guys one on one and on the field," Kinnear said. "Another good thing is the reserve league that gives these guys a chance to make decisions, and that's been helpful. I think he feels more comfortable being a coach."
Kinnear echoed Ralston sentiments Tuesday saying he was sad to see Nicol's tenure end, and confirmed that New England has not contacted the club for permission to speak with Ralston, who is under contract.
However, as we saw with Spencer last season, Kinnear and the Dynamo are not likely to stand in the way of a coach wanting to seek out a head coaching position.
"If they were to ask us to talk to Steve, I don't see us standing in the way," Kinnear said.
Still, Ralston is focused on helping the Dynamo prepare for a run to the MLS Cup and, hopefully, a victory – something that eluded him during his playing days. So while the rumor mill has already started, Ralston is content to leave any talk of his Houston departure right there.
"I loved my time [in New England] and I love being here," Ralston said. "That was my past but this is my job now, to do whatever I can to help these guys. I would like to win the MLS Cup and that's my job here."

UCI Pushes Pro Continental Teams to Sign Anti-Doping Agreement
Courtesy UCI
The President of the International Cycling Union, Pat McQuaid, met with professional continental teams in Geneva today to introduce the "Riders' commitment to a new cycling" and the "Managers' and other team staff's commitment to a new cycling". The UCI organised a similar meeting with UCI ProTour teams on 19 June.
Pat McQuaid asked the teams (riders, managers and other team staff) to sign the documents.
By adding their signature, riders give their word of honour that they are not involved in the Puerto affair or in any other doping cases, and will not breach the UCI anti-doping rules. They also declare to the Spanish authorities that they are willing to provide DNA samples for comparison with blood samples seized during the Puerto investigations. The riders also ask the Spanish authorities either to arrange for such tests to be carried out quickly, or to allow the UCI to arrange them.
The managers and other team staff members pledge not to encourage their riders to resort to doping, and not to turn a blind eye to any doping practices they may encounter within their team. They also promise to put in place the necessary procedures to prevent the use of doping within their team (managers), to help to implement such procedures and, if necessary, to cooperate with anti-doping authorities.
In order to prove their commitment, the signatories agree, should they fail to keep their commitment, to make over to the UCI's anti-doping campaign a sum of money equivalent to their earnings for the year 2007. Any funds collected in this way will be administered by the Anti-Doping Council (CLCD), which includes representatives of teams' and riders' associations.
The UCI will publish a list of signatories to both documents on its website, and will update it continuously.
To date, 641 riders, managers and other team staff members (UCI ProTeams and professional continental teams) have signed the commitment.
The professional continental teams constitute the second tier of the cycling team hierarchy. The elite level is made up of UCI ProTeams, and the third level by the continental teams.
Pat McQuaid announced that he has asked those UCI ProTour team managers and riders who have not already done so to sign the commitment to a new cycling as soon as possible.
Pat McQuaid also asked the professional continental teams not to sign up any riders who have been dropped by UCI ProTour teams because of their involvement in doping.

TOKYO -- Movie star and director Angelina Jolie urged a Japanese audience Monday to join her fight to stop sexual violence in war zones. Jolie said she hoped "In the Land of Blood and Honey," her first film as writer and director, would inspire viewers to think about rape in war. In April, theGroup of Eight
leaders agreed to work to end rape and sexual violence in conflict and theUnited Nations Security Council
adopted text urging sanctions against perpetrators of sexual violence during armed conflict. "This is just a beginning," she said. "Our aim must be to shatter impunity, so that rape can no longer be used as a weapon of war anywhere in the world as it was in Bosnia, and as it is today from Congo to Syria." Jolie, who serves as special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, was speaking at a special screening event Monday at the U.N. University in Tokyo, as part of her campaign launched with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Jolie said she hoped her film would inspire the Japanese viewers to think further about the problem and take action, just as the campaign had taken her across the globe. "When I started down the road, making this film, I thought only of telling a story and doing my best to try to give a voice to survivors," she said. "But today I am here not only as a director, but as a campaigner, and a part of a global effort that is growing every day." Japan is no stranger to sexual violence at war. The country still has problems fully coming to terms with what its militarist government did to hundreds of thousands of Asian women before and during World War II -- by forcing many of them to become "comfort women" and provide sex to Japanese soldiers. The issue remains a major diplomatic problem between Japan and South Korea. Jolie did not comment on the "comfort women" issue. Jolie's award-winning 2011 film about the war in Bosnia hits Japanese theaters on Aug. 10. The fictional tale of a romance between a Bosnian Serb man and a Bosnian Muslim woman, set during the Balkan war in the 1990s, won theProducer's Guild of America's
Stanley Kramer Award.

That's the way the Blackberry Crumbles
Last week Heidi Swanson posted a recipe for Maple Huckleberry Coffee Cake on her blog 101 Cookbooks. True to form, the blog's picture was spectacular and the ingredients are intriguing and wholesome. I needed a non-chocolate sweet to balance the Brownie Caramel cake for our book group last evening so I reached for this recipe.
cooking notes and pointers:
- You can substitute other berries for the huckleberries. I used blackberries, which I chopped into small-berry size.
- Do not worry if the batter only comes up halfway in your loaf pan and don't transfer to a smaller pan. There is a lot of topping, and it will fill up your pan. I found this out the hard way, as my baking pan was filled beyond its capacity. Actually, I'd recommend baking this in a broader shallower pan - 7"x7" or 6"x8". or an 8" round. A wider surface area would give more room to spread the generous amount of topping for this coffee cake. If you do use a loaf pan, I'd make a smaller quantity of topping so it wouldn't be such a thick layer.
- After I had managed to fit my three layers of topping (berries in the middle) onto the top of my smallish loaf pan, I realized that I had forgotten to put in the thyme and the pecans, even though they were measured and waiting on the counter. The pan was already nearly overflowing, but I tried to incorporate the nuts and thyme as best I could. About 1/4 of the topping and the nuts just wouldn't fit.
- As my loaf cooked it overflowed in the oven (but I expected that) and took a good while (over an hour?) to bake. I ended up tenting it with foil and finishing it on a lower temperature convection setting so the topping wouldn't burn. My topping and edges got a bit dry and crumbly. I was worried the cake would taste too dry. Luckily once I cut it I realized that it was nice and moist inside.
- The batter tasted really good and the smell while it was cooking was divine.
the verdict
This coffee cake was a huge hit at the book group. There were only 5 of us present, but we just about demolished it (people chose it over the brownie cake!) The lemon zest, rosemary, and thyme added a fantastic undercurrent of flavor to this cake. I think it would work well with other somewhat tart chopped fruit.
I will definitely make this again, and will play around with it next time. I'd like to experiment with using oil instead of butter for the cake part.
Although it is a coffee cake/quick bread type of recipe, it is fairly time consuming. There's a good bit of chopping, zesting, and otherwise handling ingredients. This recipe benefits from having everything prepped in advance.
Bottom line: This recipe is a keeper. You should make this!
{Update: I've made this 6 or 8 times, in pans of varying sizes and shapes. We still love it! I replace half the butter with the extra light tasting olive oil and it turns out fine. I use two small containers of blackberries for one coffee cake, so I buy them when I can find them at a good price. Once blackberries get too expensive, I plan to try frozen wild blueberries. The cake is pretty slow cooking, and I've found that the standard ("1 pound") loaf pan works the best.}

This looks great Nancy; so pretty and rustic - perfect for fall. I always think it is interesting to make/bring two desserts to an event and see which one gets devoured first -- it is often not the one you'd expect.

In reference to mathew 15:27 on your homepage, I think dogs should get more than crumbs, but your point is well taken. Cute dog you have, I love dogs!!
I feel compelled to say that I don't think that's what The Scripture means. I mean not "Dogs" literally. Before I saw your sight I read this chapter in the Bible over and over again since people have used this to belittle "dogs". I strongly think that the term here is used to apply to those who were not Israelites.
God Bless.

RPM & Speed Measurement
Engine Tachometers
AR-7240B - Analog Engine Tachometer
The AR-7240B is an analog engine tachometer featuring the automatic full scale switching function. When engine rotation is measured in the low scale, such as idling speed adjustment, it can be observed in the low range with 200 r/min scale. And the meter scale can be switched automatically to the high range with 10,000 r/min scale when engine rotation is increasing up into high speed load domain. For gasoline engine measurement, the IP series ignition pulse detector (for primary or secondary side) can be set up by one-touch attachment. For diesel engine, the VP-202/VP-1220 detector can be used. In addition to AC power supply, optional DC power supply is available and enables the AR-7240B on-board use or any place to measure. The analog output helps to figure out fluctuation of rotation speed, and pulse output can be applied to process the number or cumulated rotations of ignitions.
The most appropriate detector according to the type of engines under test can be selected by switching operation.
A variety of engine rotation detector can be available in combination, for 2/4-cycle engines having from 1 to 8 cylinders.
The number of input pulses per rotation can be set in a range from 0.5 to 199.5 pulses in 0.5 steps.
Provides analog and pulse outputs as standard.
The pulse output can be selected from 1 P/R or 60 P/R, or a wave-shaped output of an input signal.
Optional DC power supply enables the AR-7240B on-board use as well as engine bench.
Equipped with upper and lower limit alarm output, enabling protection from damages on the engine under test.

The iPad mini could arrive in 24 different versions at its grand unveil on 23 October, according to a leaked SKU.
9to5Mac has posted the listing on its website, which refers to four different models as P101, P103, P105 and P107. Each of these four variants is then referred to as "Good," Better," and "Best", which 9to5Mac believes refers to the storage capacity.
In addition, each model is marked with an "A" and "B" to signify the colour, presumably white and black, bringing the total up to 24.
This is the second iPad mini SKU leak to emerge this week, following a list of prices attributed to the device surfacing from a sales inventory system in Germany.
Despite reports to the contrary, this previous leak suggests that we will be seeing both Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi and cellular versions of the iPad mini, which may also help explain the large number of models listed in this latest reveal.
Of course another explanation is that some of the models may refer to a rumoured new version of the iPad 3, which will update the device to include Apple's new Lightning connector as seen in the iPhone 5.
With Apple officially sending out invites for its 23 October event, there's plenty to be getting excited about, including the possibility of a new thinner iMac, 13-inch MacBook Pro, new Mac mini and of course the iPad mini.
All 24 of them.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) - A suicide bomber and a teenager carrying a backpack loaded with explosives attacked two sites popular with tourists Wednesday, raising fears that Tunisia's Islamist extremists may be adopting more violent tactics.
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) � A suicide bomber and a teenager carrying a backpack loaded with explosives attacked two sites popular with tourists Wednesday, raising fears that Tunisia's Islamist extremists may be adopting more violent tactics.
No one was killed besides the suicide bomber, but with the Interior Ministry saying both men belonged to the same extremist group, the attacks could signal the adoption of more deadly tactics by Tunisia's Islamic extremists, including ones aimed at tourists.
Religious extremism has been growing here since Tunisians kicked off the Arab Spring in 2011 by overthrowing their authoritarian president.
In what may have been the first suicide attack in Tunisia since the 2002 truck bombing of a synagogue, hotel security guards stopped the bomber from entering the Riadh Palm hotel in Sousse, a resort city 90 miles (150 kilometers) south of the capital, Tunis, then chased him to a beach where he blew himself up, the Interior Ministry said.
The ministry said the bomber wore an explosive belt. The city is being searched for possible accomplices, ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Aroui said. He later added that six suspects had been arrested for being possible accomplices.
In the foiled attack in nearby Monastir, an 18-year-old followed a group of tourists into the mausoleum of modern Tunisia's founder, Habib Bourguiba, carrying a backpack full of TNT. He attempted to distract security by tossing a firework before being subdued, said Hicham Gharbi, a spokesman for the presidential guard, which patrols the site.
It was not immediately clear if the teen had planned a suicide attack of his own or just to plant the explosives.
"He will be questioned to learn his motives and those who ordered the attack," Gharbi told local radio. Bourguiba, Tunisia's first post-independence president, was a fierce secularist and has long been criticized by hard-line Islamists.
Riccardo Fabiani, the North Africa analyst for the Eurasia Group said that, coupled with a failed car bomb a few days ago, Wednesday's attacks suggest the start of a new campaign targeting civilians and tourism.
"A few episodes alone don't necessarily make compelling evidence, but three episodes of this kind point in this direction," he said in an interview. "It was also inevitable to an extent that this would happen sooner or later, if you consider the news over the past few months."
His analysis was echoed by Mokhtar Ben Nasr, the former spokesman for the military, who said the attacks were designed to harm the tourist industry and distract security forces from their efforts to root out militants based in the hinterlands.
When he was president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali ruthlessly suppressed overt expressions of religion. Since his ouster in 2011, there has been a resurgence of political Islam, including moderates who won elections and hardliners known as Salafis.
The Salafis were tolerated by the new government led by the moderate Islamist Ennahda Party. But that changed when they began challenging policies they deemed insufficiently Islamic, resulting in increased confrontations between them over the past year.
That culminated in the main Salafi group, Ansar al-Shariah, being named a terrorist movement in September.
Previously, al-Qaida and other organizations had classified Tunisia as place to carry out preaching, not attacks.
"There was a shift in rhetoric by many of these extremist Salafi preachers over the last few months, especially with their disappointment with the experiences of Ennahda in government," said Fabiani.
Earlier this year, two left-wing politicians were gunned down in Tunisia outside their homes, and security forces have repeatedly clashed with militants in several remote areas around the country, many of them armed with weapons spilling over from neighboring Libya.
On Oct. 23, a shootout with militants in the impoverished Sidi Bouzid province of Tunisia left six National Guardsmen dead.
Compared with these remote sites, the choice of Sousse, a major destination for European tourists, for Wednesday's attack indicates an effort to strike one of the mainstays of the economy.
Tunisia's revolution devastated its tourism industry, and only this year officials were expecting tourist arrivals to reach the 7-million record set in 2010.
More than 5 million tourists had come to Tunisia by September, according to the Tourism Ministry. Its spokesman, Zoubeir Jbabli, said there have been no cancellations by tourists and steps are being taken to limit the impact of the Sousse attack.
"We are in contact with the tour operators and families of the tourists to reassure them that the situation is under control and all security measures have been taken to ensure the protection of guests in Tunisia," he told The Associated Press.
There were about 800 guests at the Riadh Palm hotel when the bomb exploded outside the building, causing panic that was eventually calmed down, hotel director Makram Haloul said.
"Once we overcame the shock of the morning, we put together a special buffet for the residents and a performance designed to lighten the mood," he said.
Paul Schemm reported from Rabat, Morocco.

A year will have soon passed since three Morenci boys—Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton—vanished without a trace, with their father, John, claiming that he gave them away to an organization.
Skelton is now in prison for the unlawful imprisonment of his children while law enforcement agencies continue seeking clues about the boys' whereabouts.
The boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, has planned a one-year service at 2 p.m. Nov. 27 in the Morenci Area High School gymnasium. As family friend Kathye Herrera described the event, the goal is to "thank people and to remind them that we still need to bring the boys home."
Herrera said the Zuvers family intends to make the event different than a prayer vigil and to offer a program.
Morenci mayor Keith Pennington will discuss the reward fund and Morenci police chief Larry Weeks will present the time-line of events from evidence collected after the boys disappeared.
Music will be provided and tribute will be given by the Skelton boys' cousin, Ashlyn Timberman.
Information will be given about a video that Tanya Zuvers is creating about her sons and also about a website related to the incident.
Guests are asked to bring flashlights instead of candles.
FLYERS—Morenci police will take part in the distribution of flyers from 4 to 7 a.m. Nov. 25 at the intersection of Morenci Road and U.S. 127.
Phone records indicate that John Skelton may have driven through that area early in the morning a year earlier. Vehicles will be stopped at the intersection to receive an informational flyer, Chief Weeks said.
He's hoping that someone who regularly drives through the area at that time of day might recall seeing a vehicle off to the side of the road, for example.

A Tale about a Bonfire
The traditional bonfires of Lag B'omer that recently generated their mystical light throughout Eretz Yisrael were the cause of an interesting incident that took place in Petach Tikvah shortly before Pesach.
Even though it was more than a month before Pesach youngsters were already gathering wood for their bonfires. One group of five very young girls engaged in such a search came across an old wooden chest that had been dumped on a vacant lot. As they began pulling out drawers they discovered a large batch of dollars and proceeded to divide up this treasure of $33,000 among themselves.
When the mother of one of the girls discovered dollars in her daughter's possession she immediately called the police who quickly searched the abandoned chest and found documents identifying its owner. The woman to whom the money was returned told the police that the chest had belonged to her mother who was now in an retirement home and that she herself had no knowledge that there was anything of value in this old piece of furniture which was always in the way until she decided to get rid of it in her pre-Pesach cleaning.
A happy ending to a story told about — not around — a bonfire.

Gun shop to hold controversial coyote hunt
Prize for hunting contest is shotgun, AR-15s
A Los Lunas gun shop has its sights set on holding a coyote hunt loaded with controversy after an Albuquerque gun shop decided the conflict wasn't worth the effort.
Gunhawk Firearms in Los Lunas announced their coyote hunt just weeks after Calibers canceled theirs following threats and public outcry.
"We know people are opposed to this hunt. But on the other hand, we've had ranchers and farmers who have called us and asked us to have their land hunted," Rick Gross with Gunhawk Firearms said.
There are several detractors to the contest which challenges hunters to kill as many coyotes as possible in an effort to win a browning shotgun and two AR15s.
"These are living animals and I think they need to be treated fairly," Allison Clark said.
Gunhawk employees said they don't mind the controversy. They set the contest for the weekend before Thanksgiving.
"We stand firm with what we believe and we're not just here to kill coyotes, we're here to have fun and we're here to do an important service," Beau Erickson with Gunhawk Firearms said.
Erickson said that service is to help manage the coyote population in an effort to protect livestock and other wildlife.
"We don't want coyotes to go extinct, but they do need to be held in check, and that's what we're doing," Erickson said.
Gunhawk Firearms is asking for all of the hunters to donate the coyote carcasses so the gun shop can turn around and sell them. The shop plans to use the proceeds to set up an agricultural scholarship for someone in Los Lunas.
The contest costs $50 to enter. Those interested must register at the gunship in Los Lunas.

Comet Elenin Update HERE
There is a dust-up about Comet Elenin between the Government science sites and the conspiracy fringe sites that I think is pretty interesting. As always, the truth lays somewhere in between.
On NASA's Ask an Astrobiologist site, there is a pretty cranky disclaimer at the very top:
"Special Note: Ask an Astrobiologist has received more than 5000 questions about Nibiru and Doomsday 2012, with more than 400 answers posted. Please read a summary of the answers that have already been posted, view a video on these topics, use the search feature and read the FAQ's before submitting questions on these topics."
LOL. Five thousand questions is a lot of questions on the same topic. Obviously it is of concern to the populace. As the end approaches, the lost and the unaware have increasingly turned their interests to events that are depicted in the bible. Though these people deny the bible as the source of truth, they perpetuate the events in their mind, cultures, and discussions through conspiracies and pseudoscience. They refer to Mother Shipton or Nostradamus as originators of these prophesies and quote them as gospel. Planet X or Nibiru is one of these events. How much of what they say about Planet X is true and how much of it is bunk?
The Nibiru collision is a conspiracy-predicted disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object planet or asteroid, in either a collision or a near-miss in which certain people believe will take place soon. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. According to Wikipedia, "the idea that a planet-sized object could possibly collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists." However, a large comet was just discovered in late December by Leonid Elenin, an amateur Russian sky watcher, and Comet Elenin as it is now called will zoom between the sun and the earth by fall 2011. Why Wikipedia states so matter of factly that a planet sized object will never pass close to earth is a mystery, because obviously, the appearance of this comet- which was unknown to science before a few months ago- exists and is now classified as a PHO (potentially hazardous object.) The surprise appearance of the comet and its imminent near-passage to our planet has gotten the conspiracy theorists all riled up!
In Babylonian astronomy, Nibiru is a term of the highest point of the ecliptic, i.e. the point of summer solstice, and its associated constellation. Did you notice that the planets, constellations, moons, and most of technology are all named after the demonic/pagan realms? Wouldn't it be nice to have a planet's moon named, say, after Moses? Alas, I digress.
Back on Ask an Astrobiologist, a person recently questioned about Comet Elenin:
"Question: I've recently heard about the discovery of comet Elenin, which is scheduled to come close to earth around October-November 2011 – Is it possible it will be an extinction level event? AND Comet Elenin: How close to earth will it get? And can we expect it to cause any damage? AND I have read that Russian scientists are now predicting that asteroid Apophis will impact the Earth April 13 2036 causing terrible damage. I understand that the Russians are planning a mission to stop the asteroid."
Some people even say that the amateur skywatcher Leonid Elenin's name is really code for ELE-nin, or extinction level event. See what I mean about the conspiracies?
"ANSWER: Both Comet Elenin and Asteroid Apophis are real, but these concerns about collisions are without foundation. Unfortunately there are a few popular websites that are known for suggesting multiple catastrophes, including popularizing the 2012 hoax. Two that show up in any search for "Comet Elenin" are godlikeproductions and abovetopsecret, both of which predict either a very close pass by Earth or a collision. If instead you consult dependable websites like wikipedia and skyandtelescope you will find that Comet Elenin will come nowhere near the Earth. At its closest (on 10 September 2011) it will be more than 25 million km from our planet."
Astro-scientists measure celestial distances in our orbit by AU's, or astronomical units. Initially, Comet Elenin was predicted to pass earth 25 AU's away from earth. That distance was narrowed to .15 AUs, the 25 million km the Astrobiologist mentioned. How far is .15 AUs in real people distances? 13 million miles. The sun is 92 million miles away. Seems that the guys at abovetopsecret and godlikeproductions were right when they said "very close pass by earth"! Elenin's debris trail could be rather large so for the people on earth on September when Elenin arrives, it could well be a very bad day. On the other hand, the miss distance could be comfortable and simply put on a good show for backyard astronomers.
My point here is two fold. The Astrobiologist said that people should not depend on conspiracy sites like abovetopsecret for their information, but dependable sites like Wikipedia. Wikipedia? Really?? I about choked on my corn flakes when I read that. Wikipedia is just as liberally biased as any site, so biased, that Conservapedia, an English-language wiki project written from an American conservative Christian point of view was created to present more accurate information than Wikipedia.
But relying on government sites for information is just as fraught with error, bias, and lies. The United States Geological Survey has repeatedly stated that earthquakes are not on the increase, despite their own data telling the opposite story. And do we really think NASA would alert the populace if a planet-sized asteroid was going to crash into earth in September? Of course not. Are the Government's unemployment statistics accurate and presented clearly? No. The data is manipulated. John Williams started Shadowstats to present the same data that the government does and calculates it the way the government used to, before things got so bad the government started hiding data. And when was the last time anything really helpful came out of the White House site? The [new] Press Secretary simply refuses to answer any questions these days.
Out of desperation, many people do turn to conspiracy sites, because the information is naked and unfiltered by corporate mainstream media.
The popular blog Death By A Thousand Paper Cuts published a list of the top 80 alternative news-gathering sites on the net. Abovetopsecret and godlikeproductions- the two sites that the Astrobiologist chided us for reading, were in the top five.
What does that tell you. The very fact he mentioned the conspiracy sites lets us know that citizen-led journalism is often-times truer than government or corporation-led news media, and likely really getting on the government's nerves. Of course, you have to wade through profanity, stupidity, and real conspiracies like reptilians living inside us to get to any nuggets, but many times citizens feel they have to wade through just as much when reading White House-released unemployment statistics or economic news.
My second point is that there is increasingly a difficulty in learning the truth, apart from the bible. There is no need to read conspiracy sites about the Illuminati that want to take over the would to reform it into a New World Order. That is a real event that is described in Chapter 13 of Revelation. There is no need to sift through conspiracies about Nibiru/Planet X because that is described in Revelation 8. There is no need to turn to murky quatrains in Nostradamus to learn about extinction level events that the government is secretly preparing for. The Great Flood was an Extinction Level Event. The Tribulation will be another Extinction Level Event. Three out of four Jews will die in the Tribulation. 2/3 to 3/4 of all earth's population will die in the Tribulation. All the oceans will die. All the rivers will die. All the islands will die. All the mountains will crumble. That is really an extinction level event! You do not need to read conspiracy sites or read between the lines in Corporate or Government media. It's all there in the bible. And that's one book where you can count on the information being true and reliable 1000%, forever!!

iPhone OS 4.0: Unified Inbox, threaded messages and other enhancements
Aside from multitasking and folders support in OS 4.0, the mail app on your iPhone and iPod Touch will receive some great new additions. First and foremost is the Unified Inbox. This will mean that users can soon have all their mail in one inbox. That's right, no more tapping your screen hundreds of times in order to jump to the next email account. For those with multiple accounts, this can save loads of time.
Threaded messages (where emails between all parties are saved in a "conversation" format) Â will also be part of the new OS. As a Gmail user myself, I'm definitely liking this feature and it should eliminate all the needless vertical scrolling when attempting to find that 10th email from the same sender. And aside from being able to have more than one Exchange account, users will soon be able to open received attachments with a 3rd party app from the App Store. Business users who're constantly on the road or those who receive lots of files in a particular format will benefit most from this new option. Overall, the new mail enhancements are a much welcomed addition to OS 4.0.
