Major improvements for 2019!
By Horsacourse on Monday, July 29, 2019I traded up from a 2017 (which was already a great truck!) to a 2019 and wow what an improvement! I have the 5.3 with 8 speed tranny, which is smooth shifting, super quiet ride, etc, etc. Chevy as the controls and buttons all figured out nicely for easy of use. The backseat of this crew cab is even bigger than the previous model; its so big the kids can almost play football back there. Definitely another great value from Chevy. Minor irksome points include the goofy tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The previous model had a simply stalk that allowed easy up/down but the 2019 uses a goofball 'Japanese style' system, which is ery annoying and cumbersome to use. Also missing the ashtray (not for smoking but for storing small items like trailer keys, chapstick, and stuff). Also, they took away the third cup holder in the front/center, which is also annoying since I always have two different drinks while my passenger also has her own. But everything else is awesome and absolutely love this truck!

This is my first Chevy truck owned. I'm happy with
By Tom shedd on Saturday, September 05, 2020The truck is comfortable and has more power than I'll ever use. It's 11,000 tow capacity is excellent and my fuel economy without a trailer is 23.5 mpg. This is running 72 mph on the interstate. Couldn't be happier with this truck.

Within Limits
By Ebase on Saturday, February 15, 2020I have the LT Trail Boss. It's a pretty impressive truck. It does handle off-road decently. It's tough enough. The body doesn't freak and rattle in protest anywhere. In the snow it's as expected. It's can eat up a snowed in road with ease with no issue. So, in terms of capability it's about as good as you could want this side of a Raptor which is next level. On the freeways here in California where the AC runs constantly it drinks fuel. Sometimes, we only get 11 MPG. So much for the active cylinder cutoff system. It's a stiff ride but the typically terrible streets and freeways of LA are all no problem for it. It is HARD to parallel park this thing. You have to make sure your skills are up to par before you traverse the urban environment. Visibility isn't great. And it is long. None of this is unique for a .500 ton. It's just plain old big. The LED lights are awesome. They light up the road beautifully with a wide spread of cool white. The bed light is also LED. And there are two more in the back for good measure. Loading up at night was easy. There are two more lights in the mirrors for off-road but they're weak and kind of useless. But, in terms of curb appeal the LED light trims, bezels, brake lights I think look phenomenal. Some people hate the new nose on Chevys but I like it. It's different but I like having these thin headlights tucked high up on a flat grill. It's arrogant looking. The interior is really it's weak spot. The seats are plenty comfortable and made of durable material but it is plastic, plastic, and more plastic. And cheap plastic in places it should be much nicer to the touch. I get the utilitarian roots of the vehicle but come on. I also don't like the column shifter. Really? 2020 people. Get a proper console shifter. It has USB's everywhere. All 5 riders could charge their phones and still charge up an iPad to show some movies and placate the restless. The audio is quite good. In that it gets loud. It's weak on the mids but does kick some bass and it's also a little "tinny" on the highs but that's just picking on it. It can play a good cross section of music from hard rock, hip hop, EDM, and kid music. The sunroof is big and opens quickly. The interior has great illumination at night. And there is plenty of cup holders, cubbies, and hiding areas for things. The back seat has these ingenious idea for a small locker perfect for your handguns. I've had some initial QC issues. The exhaust mounting joint was detached causing the pipe to jiggle and it would've eventually broke off. One wrench problem fixed. Another was a tire pressure monitor that was reading incorrectly. Dealership handled it. But it's annoying lack of attention to detail. When I compared it to the Ram I liked the Chevy better. But I liked the Ram and the F150 interior much better. The Raptors interior was awesome but they charged infinitely more and their lease prices were almost comical. It definitely holds its own for what it is. It's obnoxious. We picked up my niece from school in our Tesla and she was ho hum about that. We picked her up in this beastly, loud and obnoxious truck and she did the whole 11 year old ego dance getting in. A little more fun than their Honda Odyssey, Siena's, and infinite line of embarrassing excuses for SUV's that are way more Costco parking lot than being able to handle the rigors of one inch of snow.

I love me some "Robocop" remake updates. You know this about me. I've said it countless times. Need proof? Gaze upon my rock hard nipples while I tell you that Jennifer Ehle, who was in "Contagion", has signed on to join the cast. She'll play someone named 'Liz Kline'. I don't remember who that is from the original. But you're not thinking about that anyway are you. You're thinking you want to see me cut glass with these puppies. Well keep waiting.
Oh how the mighty have fallen. 13 years ago M. Night Shyamalan was our love child and today we get news that he's working with Syfy on a new pilot titled "Proof". "Proof" will focus on a young man who offers money to anyone who can prove there's life after death when his parents die tragically. I can only hope Tiffany will pop up in the cast somewhere.
Little known fact, I am not the German kid in that popular internet video where the kid freaks the F out while playing "World of Warcraft". I know it's an honest mistake, I get it all the time. I've never actually played the game but apparently people go nuts for it but the obvious big screen version has been riddled with problems. Well today's there's some good news for the project in the form of Charles Leavitt being tapped to write the script. I think that's good news. I mean he wrote "Blood Diamond". You basement dwelling virgins should be pumped he'd touch your silly game.
At this point I'm at a loss as to who looks at Brendan Fraser and says "Yeah, get that guy in my movie" but yet again he's been cast. This time in "Split Decision", a new film about two children being hunted by a couple murderers after they accidentally witness the killing. Fraser will play the father who tries to save them. Alright I can't even lie, I find the guy charming as crap. Did you see "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"? I can't not watch that whenever it's on TV.

Listen to Bernice Mojica, a Monty Tech senior captain, talk about volleyball:
"When you serve the ball, and get the match going, it's like starting a car. You get three hits, and that's like the motor running which gets the wheels turning. And you have to know when to speed things up and when to put on the brakes. In a car, every part contributes to making it work. On a volleyball team, you need every girl to make the team work."
Would you have guessed that automotive technology is Mojica's main concentration of studies?
Mojica, a talented libero, and the rest of coach Donna Wiitala's Bulldogs recently raced above .500 to 7-6 (4-3 Colonial Athletic) with consecutive wins over University Park and St. Mary's last week.
"I've got a great group of girls this year, and we're improving each week," Wiitala said.
The other captains are front row specialists Monica Pucko and Taylor Caruso, along with Hannah Woodward, who excels in the back row.
In the 3-0 victory over St. Mary's, the Bulldogs were led by Ashley Brooks, who had eight aces, while Pucko added five kills and Taylor Bacigalupo three kills.
Mojica and Woodward began playing volleyball as freshmen at Monty Tech.
Mojica, a Leominster native, said you have to be quick and be aware when playing the libero position.
"We can only play the back row, and we can't spike," Mojica said. "I pretty much have to save the ball. I call it the backstage stuff."
"No matter what position I'm in, I try to react, play smart and make the right decision in terms of getting the ball where it needs to go," said Woodward, who is from Hubbardston and studies cosmetology. "I love this sport. There's something about volleyball that makes a team more connected than any other sport I've played."
And she loves her high school studies, too. Woodward plans on becoming a stylist with her own salon. She said she makes sure her own hair color is always the "blondest of blondes."
"In class, there's blonde, and then there's Hannah blonde," Woodward said with a laugh.
The Bulldogs travel to Valley Tech (9-1, 6-0) tomorrow for a 5 p.m. league match.
A couple of key volleyball matches are set for tomorrow: Westboro (9-2) hosts Shrewsbury (7-4), and Algonquin (9-2) travels to Marlboro (5-5). Both are scheduled for 4:45 p.m.
The Narragansett Regional High golf team improved to 10-2-1 Friday with a home win over Monty Tech at Templewood Golf Course. The Warriors, who lead Wachusett A, were led by senior Chris Buscanera, who plays No. 2 in the lineup and carded 3-over-par 38.
Junior Brian Chadbourne, the Warriors' No. 1 man who played in Scotland last summer as part of a national junior team, has turned in several impressive rounds.
"Brian has been consistently in the 30s for us," Narragansett coach Bob Bellefeuille said. "He's constantly working on his game. At the driving range, he takes his time with a bucket of balls and really works on his swing."
Junior Kris Kodys is No. 3, followed by junior Peter Edwards and senior Jake Babcock. Rounding out the team are sophomore Jake Rader, freshman Nik Stacy and junior Jess Gauvin.
"Pete Edwards has been a great surprise for us in the No. 4 spot," Bellefeuille said. "He's definitely our most improved."
"We lost our number 1 and 2 players to graduation last year, but our returning players have really stepped it up," said Bellefeuille, who added that his 2011 team had only one season loss, to Bromfield, and this year's squad avenged that setback earlier in the season.
In the old days, if you were a left-hander, it was often difficult and sometimes impossible getting proper fitting or the newest style of golf clubs. No more. And here's proof with today's peek into the golf bag of Westboro junior lefty Nic Ross, No. 2 player in the talented Rangers lineup.
Ross' driver is a Callaway Razr Fit with 9.5 loft. He stays with Callaway for 3 and 5 woods, Diablo Octane style. Ross' only hybrid club is a 4, a Diablo Edge type. TaylorMade CB forged irons from 4 to pitching wedge are slotted into his Ping bag.
For the wedge game, he spins his TaylorMade Penta tp-5 golf balls onto the greens using 52- and 56-degree Cleveland CG 15s, before putting with his Odyssey White Icer.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced the "Own Now" plan which offers some mid to high end Galaxy smartphones and camera at 15% discount along with 0% processing fee and 0% interest on 12 months EMI. Today, BlackBerry joined the bandwagon and announced a similar EMI scheme for the high-end BlackBerry Z10 smartphone and the entry-level BlackBerry Curve 9220 in India.
If you were planning to buy the BlackBerry Z10, but refrained due to its high price tag, then this is the right time to buy one. Under the new EMI scheme, customers can get the BlackBerry Z10 using their credit card by paying an EMI of Rs 4799 per month for 9 months. On the other hand, BlackBerry has announced a similar scheme for BlackBerry Curve 9220 where customers can easily get the device just by paying an EMI of Rs 799 per month for 12 months.
Currently, this scheme is available only for Axis Bank, Citibank, HDFC bank, HSBC, ICICI Bank, Kotak, SBI Card and Standard Chartered credit card users. These plans offer Rs.0 down payment, 0% processing fee and 0% interest on EMI. Idea subscribers will also get 1GB/ month of 3G data usage just by paying Rs.999/year in 8 circles including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.
The new BlackBerry EMI scheme will be rolled out in 3000 BlackBerry outlets across the country by this weekend. Are you planning to buy one? Let us know in the comments section below.

Let's imagine for a second you were selling a dog training product.
In a perfect world you'd create unique ad copy for every keyword so that when people search for "stop my labrador barking" they see an ad that responds to that exactly with a "how to stop your labrador barking" ad.
NOT a generic "how to stop your dog barking" ad.
This would create a PPC campaign that would get better click through, conversion rates, Quality Score and ultimately lower costs.
But let's face it. Do you really want to manually write these ads for the hundreds of dog breeds in the world?
How about then writing ads that cover not just barking but also digging, jumping, howling, escaping and the myriad of other behaviour problems dogs have.
Holy cow – when you mix all these together and you'll be spending the next month in AdWords Editor.

Effortlessly expand your keywords
Let SpeedPPC's intelligent keyword research tools expand your campaign potential.
Keywords are the lifeblood of any search campaign.

SpeedPPC helps ramp your campaigns with 4 different keyword research tools.
These allow you to go wide (laterally) to find adjacent keywords that are similar to what you're bidding on and probably should be targeting.

Sonny Dykes takes over as Cal's new coach
At the urging of athletic director Sandy Barbour, Sonny Dykes pulled out a white California cap from underneath the lectern and popped it on his head to accent his blue-and-gold tie and dark suit, drawing cheers from department staff who filled the Memorial Stadium room.
On his first day as Cal's coach, Dykes definitely looked the part. The Golden Bears just hope he can garner the same reaction on game days.
Cal formally introduced Dykes as its football coach Thursday, replacing the fired Jeff Tedford after three years at Louisiana Tech. Dykes takes over a proud program with a refurbished stadium and training facilities, but also one that has failed to make a bowl in two of the past three seasons and has the lowest graduation rate (48 percent) in the Pac-12 Conference.
"We will turn it around," Dykes said. "It's going to be a long, arduous process. How many years is it going to take? I don't know. Is it going to be next year? I don't know. What's the future hold? I can't answer that question. But I do know that's what's going to drive us every day. Every single day we get in our car and come to work, our goal is going to be to get to the Rose Bowl."
The decision to hire Dykes was easily the biggest one Barbour has made in her eight-year tenure.
Barbour said she interviewed between six and 12 candidates. She said the school and Dykes have agreed to a "term sheet," but she will not release the contract details until it's officially signed by all parties, which Barbour expects to happen in the coming days.
Dykes also had been vetted by a search committee, and Vice Chancellor John Wilton said Dykes was the school's "first choice." Barbour and Wilton met with Dykes in New York on Monday in the final stage of the interview process.
"When he walked out of the room I said to myself, `I think that's the guy,'" Barbour said.
More than anything, Barbour and the search committee cited Dykes' discipline and offensive ingenuity - which has sorely lacked in Berkeley in recent seasons.
The 43-year-old Dykes had a 22-15 record with the Bulldogs, improving their victory total each year. The Bulldogs averaged 35.9 points and 452.5 yards per game in his tenure.
He takes over a Cal team that went 3-9 this past season and went 34-37 in Tedford's final 5 1/2 years, leading to his dismissal. Dykes inherits a roster that has some talent, most notably heralded quarterback recruit Zach Kline, who did not play as a freshman but is in line to win the starting job next season.
The new coach also will benefit from a facilities upgrade that Tedford helped engineer. Cal opened its remodeled $321 million stadium this past season that is adjacent to a $150 million on-campus High Performance Center.
"There were a lot of good jobs that were open this year," said Dykes, adding that he interviewed for a "couple" others but declined to name specific vacancies. "This was the one I was interested in from day one."
Dykes, the son of former Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, is known as an offensive mastermind who runs a spread system that he honed as coordinator under Mike Leach at Texas Tech. He later spent three seasons as offensive coordinator at Arizona under Mike Stoops before becoming head coach at Louisiana Tech ahead of the 2010 season. He also coached two years as an assistant at Kentucky.
Dykes coached one of the nation's most prolific offenses at Louisiana Tech this year with the Bulldogs leading the nation with 51.5 points per contest and ranking second with 577.9 yards per game. On the other side of the ball, the Bulldogs ranked last in the country in yards allowed (526.1) and 116th in points (38.5) per game.
Dykes said defensive coordinator will be "the most important hire I will make." He said he has four to five coaches in mind for the opening.
He plans to meet with Tedford's remaining assistants before deciding on any changes. Dykes said he hopes to fill out his a staff by Christmas with "old people, young people, optimistic people, pessimistic people."
"Old grouchy guys and young optimistic guys have a chance to work very well together," he said.
Dykes plans to stick around the Bay Area and start recruiting immediately, which he admitted the Bears are "behind on" as is usually the case during a coaching change. He held a brief morning meeting with players, who introduced themselves to him one at a time.
"It's pretty much back to basics," sophomore defensive back Avery Sebastian said.
Cal still owes Tedford $6.9 million over the final three years of his deal. Wilton, the school's vice chancellor, said the sides are still working on a settlement.
Once Dykes' deal is finalized, he hopes to concentrate on what he does best: coach. He said the past two days have been a whirlwind for him and his wife, Kate, and their two young daughters, Alta (nicknamed Ally) and Charlotte (who they call Charlie).
"But I'll look back," he said, "and say that was the best 48 hours of my life."

What's In a Name? Strategies for Remembering Students' Names
"Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language." -Dale Carnegie
Reasons to Learn Students' Names
- Students expect it (unless the class is very large).
- It tells students you are interested in them as individuals.
- It helps foster a sense of community.
- It makes the instructor appear more approachable and less remote.
- It is a powerful way to foster student-student and student-faculty interactions.
- In large classes, students can feel "like a number." Knowing one's classmates' names fosters the feeling that there are peers in the class with whom the student can interact. Also, a sense of community among the students begins to grow, fostering learning both in and out of the classroom.
- Students are more conscious of their behavior when they perceive themselves as identifiable.
Strategies for Learning Names:
- Have students make name tents out of 5"x 8" cards. Fold the 5"x 8" cards in half so they are tented, and with a thick marker, have the students write the name they wish to be addressed by in large letters on each side. Either have the students keep their name tents and bring them to each class, or collect them, and at the beginning of the next class, try to match the names with the students while returning their tented nametags.
- Take a picture of each student, groups of students, or the whole class. Circulate the photographs and have students write their first names under their picture. Keep this in your office for future reference, but not in a public place or space.
- Ask students to give their name each time they speak aloud the first few class sessions. Later, ask them to wait while you remember their name.
- Tell students you are going to leave the classroom for five to ten minutes and that when you return, you want each student to be able to introduce five classmates on a first- name basis. How they go about it is up to them. This technique has been known to increase the energy level in the room.
- Have students prepare a "Passport" for your class on a note card. It could include their picture and any other information that would be helpful for learning their name. During the semester, call students by name when you return homework or quizzes, and use names frequently in class. (Davis 23)
- "Name Game." Ask the first person to give her name. The second person gives the name of the first person and his name, and the third person gives the name of the first two people and her name. This continues until all students have given their name. The instructor goes last and recalls all of the students' names. This works best in a small class. (Davis 24)
- Bring in a camera and have one of the students take headshots of each student. At the second class, return with the photos and have the students write something about themselves on the backs of their photos. Periodically review their photos and the information they listed, and you will soon know every student's name.
- "Scavenger Hunt." Make up a sheet of fairly inane traits, as many traits as you have students in the class. Traits might be something like, "wearing shoes that require laces," or "likes spaghetti with clam sauce." Each trait has a space in front of the trait sufficient to write in a name. Everyone in the class gets a sheet, including the instructor. The assignment is to find a person with that trait, meet them, and record their name. The rule is that you can use a person only once to complete your sheet.
- "Unforgettable Neighbor." Have students turn to their neighbor and introduce themselves. The assignment is for the neighbor to introduce his or her companion "with a trait that no one can forget." Obviously, the partners have to be helpful with a trait or mnemonic aid. Pick randomly from around the room for introductions. After a third person is introduced, point to those introduced and ask the class to name the individuals. Continue with the introductions and cumulative reviews. The repetition in reviews really helps.
- "Alternative Adjective Name Game." The student sitting at one of the corner desks at the front of the room begins by taking the first letter of their name and selecting a (positive) adjective that begins with the same letter. Examples include: "Great Greg" or "Awesome Alicia." The second person has to repeat the first person's name preceded by its alliterative adjective, and then give his/her name. The third person repeats from the beginning and adds her/his moniker to the game. When all of the students have participated, recount them all and add your own name at the end.
- "Student Circle." Have students sit in a circle with you and explain that each person is to give their name and a characteristic of themselves. For example, "My name is Judy and I have a good memory." The second person has to repeat the first person's name and characteristic, and then give his own. And so on. Coaching is allowed!
- "Annotations." Annotate your class list by writing down individual characteristics beside each student's name.
- "Association Techniques." Anyone who has the same name as someone you know is associated and remembered that way, particularly if they have similar qualities.
- Ask students to include on a card the name they want to be called in class (with pronunciation instructions included), add "one sentence to make them memorable." Students use the one sentence in a variety of ways: to share a favorite quote, to describe a hobby, to tell where they grew up, or to share something about their classroom "style" (e.g., sometimes falling asleep because they work late, don't especially like to participate in class, etc.). The instructor can review these prior to subsequent classes to aid in remembering the students' names.
- "Chaos to Order." Ask the students to learn each other's names, but do not give them a system. At first there may be chaos, with students moving about asking each other their names, until they get organized and realize they need a system with repetition, practice, etc. Follow this up with a discussion of what worked and what principles of learning took place. The main goal, however, is to have students get to know each other and feel comfortable in the class.
- Two students interview each other asking questions pertaining to unique hobbies, proudest moment, most prized possession, a significant accomplishment, etc. Students then introduce their partner to the class. After everyone has been introduced, it's time for a memory test. The instructor begins by stating his/her name as he/she holds on to the end of a string from a ball of yarn. The instructor tosses the ball to someone and says something like, "I'm tossing the ball to Greg because I remember that Greg wrestles alligators in his spare time." The pattern continues until everyone in the class is connected. The class members then do the same thing in reverse as they untangle themselves and talk about the person immediately before them. (Option: While all class members are connected, the instructor may want to use the connected students as a model to explain how the class will grow from a collection of individuals to a network of educated students over the course of the semester.)

2 November 2018, Pea protein is a food additive, majorly used in cheese and yogurt. The pea protein market is predicted to grow due to health consciousness among consumers and demand of pea protein supplements. Renewed interest in gluten-free products, acceptance of meat substitutes amid the lactose intolerance levels among teens is augmenting market demand.
Plant-based supplements made from wheat, canola, and soy can pose a market challenge. But development of novel products could open up new market avenues. The global Pea Protein Market is segmented according to products, applications, and regions. Products include textured pea protein, isolates, and concentrates.
Meat substitutes and sports nutrition supplements are manufactured using isolates. This can be on account of high amino acid content, high solubility, and good water binding. Textured pea proteins are heavily used in dairy supplements and beverages owing to their similar appearance to meat. Pea concentrates used in beverages, aquafeed, and foods constitute about 75% protein.
Dietary supplements, sports supplements, meat substitutes, nutraceuticals, and others are major market applications. Dietary supplements are the largest application of the pea protein market on account of consumer awareness about nutraceuticals. Concerns regarding meat allergies will spur the demand for meat substitutes. It will be the fastest growing application over the forecast period (2016-2024).
Browse Details of Report @ https://www.hexaresearch.com/research-report/pea-protein-market
Regions covered under the market are Latin America, North America, Middle East & Africa (MEA), Asia Pacific, and Europe. North America is a major region for the industry due to concerns of cardiovascular diseases and the booming sports industry. Rising cases of lactose intolerance will see major growth in Europe. Asia Pacific can experience a major demand boost due to consumption of nutrient-based foods and supplements. New regulations in the agricultural industry in China & India would see an upsurge of raw material to pea protein manufacturers.
Major players of the pea protein market are Roquette Frères, Shandong Jianyuan Foods Co., Ltd., Burcon Nutrascience Corporation, and Shandong Jianyuan Foods Co., Ltd. They have formed alliances with domestic distributors to ensure a steady product supply in high-demand regions. Roquette Frères produces pea proteins under the brand name – NUTRALYS. Burcon, on the other hand, has managed to manufacture vegetable-based protein which is transparent and 100% soluble.
Browse Related Category Reports @Sucralose Market – The global Sucralose Market is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.0% from 2017 to 2025 on account of rising popularity of artificial sweeteners as a low calorie functional ingredient in the nutrition sector.

Where does a muffin cost more than $16?
At a government conference, it turns out.
They may run just over $2 at your average coffee shop, but the Justice Department paid seven to eight times as much at a gathering it held at the Capital Hilton in Washington. And on Tuesday, the muffins seemed well on their way to joining the Pentagon's $600 toilet seat as symbols of wasteful spending...
The reaction was blistering — and bipartisan. "Sixteen-dollar muffins and $600,000 for event planning services are what make Americans cynical about government and why they are demanding change,'' said Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The Justice Department appears to be blind to the economic realities our country is facing. People are outraged, and rightly so.''
Is it really true? So I went to the DOJ Inspector General's website, got the report, and searched for "muffin." The following paragraph looks fairly impenetrable, but go ahead and plow through it anyway:
Considering the EOIR reported that at least 534 people received refreshments at its 2009 Legal Training Conference in Washington, D.C., it spent an average of $14.74 per attendee per day on food and beverages—just above the $14.72 JMD limit for refreshments. We credit the EOIR for implementing the following controls to reduce food and beverage costs: (1) it provided just refreshments and not full meals, (2) it ordered fewer refreshments than the total number of reported attendees, and (3) it received 15 gallons of coffee, 30 gallons of iced tea, and 200 pieces of fruit for free. However, many individual food and beverage items listed on conference invoices and paid by the EOIR were very costly. The EOIR spent $4,200 on 250 muffins and $2,880 on 300 cookies and brownies. By itemizing these costs, we determined that, with service and gratuity, muffins cost over $16 each and cookies and brownies cost almost $10 each.So did DOJ really pay $16 for muffins? Of course not. In fact, it's obvious that someone quite carefully calculated the amount they were allowed to spend and then gave the hotel a budget. The hotel agreed, but for some reason decided to divide up the charges into just a few categories instead of writing a detailed invoice for every single piece of food they provided.
Kudos to Kevin Drum at Mother Jones for tracking down the source data.
Now we have to find something else to be outraged about.

|Bryan and a very pregnant me selling our homemade granola at Farmers Market back in 2009
Happy Friday friends! Aren't Fridays just the best? End of the work week, beginning of the weekend. Date nights, garage sales, farmers markets... weekends are great!
And speaking of farmers markets (did you like that smooth transition?), I have some fun news for you! Starting in July, BYU is going to be having a Farmers Market on Thursday evenings from July 28th through October 27th. There will be a variety of farmers, food sellers, and people like you selling arts and crafts!
Well, I guess what I mean to say is that it could indeed be you selling the things you make. Exciting, no? The lovely lady in charge of the event is super sweet and just so happens to be my visiting teaching companion. When we were together yesterday she mentioned that she's having a rough time getting in touch with crafters in the area, so I told her I'd do my best to help her get the word out to you all.
When Bryan and I sold our wares at the city Farmers Market (we did it for a couple summers in a row) we had a blast, but the price of the booths was a little spendy. Fortunately, I am happy to tell you that booth space at the BYU Farmers Market is super cheap. $20 for a booth? So. Totally. Worth it. And it gets even cheaper if you sign up for an entire season!
But, just as a heads up, you do have to be a current BYU student (or the spouse or sibling of a current BYU student) to be eligible for booth space.
If you're interested, you can read more at the BYU Farmers Market homepage. There you'll find all the dates, details, and vendor applications.
Selling at an outdoor Farmers Market is a lot of work, but it is so fun. It's great to meet so many fun people in town and chat with customers who stop by. I hope some of you will join in this year!

Louisiana 2014 Wild Turkey Season Youth Hunt Dates on KNF Corrected
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries press release of Oct. 4, which announced the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission's approved 2014 wild turkey season dates, contained incorrect information about youth lottery hunts on Kisatchie National Forest. In 2014, there are no youth lottery hunts, or applications to complete and submit, for hunters 17 years of age or younger wishing to hunt turkeys on KNF properties during designated youth hunt dates.
Youth hunting dates for wild turkey on Kisatchie National Forest have been approved for the weekend of March 15-16 on the Caney, Calcasieu (except Forest Service / Vernon Unit lands within Ft. Polk/Vernon WMA) and Kisatchie Ranger Districts; and March 15 on Catahoula and Winn Ranger Districts.
The regular turkey season within the Caney Ranger District would run from March 22 to April 6; and from March 22 to April 13 on all other Ranger Districts.
The private lands youth and physically challenged hunter weekend will be March 15-16 in all designated turkey hunting areas.
For more information on WMA hunting opportunities and hunting seasons in Louisiana, visit www.wlf.la.gov. For information on turkey season dates and regulations, contact Jimmy Stafford at 225-765-2361 or [email protected] .

Iconic Crystal Cathedral Receives New Name Under Catholic Leadership
Iconic Crystal Cathedral Receives New Name Under Catholic Leadership
The Orange County, Calif., megachurch known as the Crystal Cathedral has been given a new name by its Catholic owners. Bishop Tod Brown announced the cathedral's new name, Christ Cathedral, on Saturday during an Ordination Mass of four new Catholic priests at the St. Columban Catholic Church in Garden Grove.
At the ordination, the diocese also announced that Father Christopher H. Smith will serve in the cathedral's top post of Episcopal vicar.
"Today, I am honored to participate in the ordination of four new diocesan priests and congratulate them on the fulfillment of their vocation. I am equally pleased to acknowledge a senior member of our clerical staff – Fr. Christopher H. Smith – and to announce his appointment as the first Episcopal Vicar to our new Cathedral, which will be called Christ Cathedral, a clear proclamation of why this Church exists and will be of continuing importance to people of faith across the region," Bishop Brown said on Saturday, according to the diocese website.
Saturday's ordination was attended by over 1,500 parishioners and during the ceremony Bishop Brown also paid respect to the Rev. Robert H. Schuller, who had founded the Crystal Cathedral Ministries over five decades ago at a drive-in movie theater.
"We hold Rev. Schuller and his ministry in the highest esteem. It was important that any change of name for the cathedral itself be respectful of its spiritual legacy while accommodating our needs to clearly define this important facility as a Catholic center of worship," he said.
Crystal Cathedral Ministries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2010 and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange purchased the iconic glass building earlier this year on a bankruptcy court's order for $57 million.
Following the purchase of the building in February, the diocese reached out to worshipers asking them to submit suggestions for a new name through its website.
"It is our goal to make the new cathedral a gathering place for Catholics and other people of faith. By asking for naming suggestions we begin the process of connecting this wonderful structure and its future to our faith and the larger community," the diocese said in a statement.
Thousands of worshipers submitted suggestions and Bishop Tod Brown chose the new name Christ Cathedral, which has been given Vatican approval.
Beyond changing the name of the building, the diocese also has plans to change the design of the cathedral to make it fitting for catholic worshipers.
Crystal Cathedral Ministries is now under the direction of President and CEO John Charles and pays $100,000 in monthly rent to the Catholic Church to stay in the famed glass building, but just last week it announced that the ministry would be moving in June 2013.
Under an agreement with the diocese the ministry will move to the nearby Catholic St. Callistus Church and will have free rent at the church through January 2014.
Charles said that the move will be significant to the overall renewal of the ministry.
"This is another important step in the revival that has been taking place at the Crystal Cathedral," Charles said in a statement to Reuters.

First introduced at CES 2011 with much fanfare, the IoSafe Rugged Portable hard drive is the portable version of its 15-pound brother, the IoSafe SoloPro. Much more compact than the SoloPro, the Rugged Portable is about the same size and weight as a 3.5-inch internal hard drive. This is because it's the first portable drive on the market to offer protection against extreme conditions, thanks to its watertight, full metal casing and built-in shock-absorbing technology. Other than extreme heat, the drive can survive almost anything else, even certain types of bullets.
The Rugged Portable offers good performance as portable drives go. It's bus-powered and comes with enough cables to draw sufficient power from a computer's USB ports. With pricing that ranges from $149 for a 250GB version to $399 for 1TB, the Rugged Portable is significantly more expensive than other portable drives of the same capacities. To make up for this, IoSafe bundles the drive with a year's warranty that includes a Data Recovery Service that covers up to $5,000 worth of data damage.
If you work in hazardous environments, travel frequently, or tend to get rough with your devices, the Rugged Portable would be a good investment. Those who want to have an ultrasafe drive to use at home should consider the SoloPro, as it can withstand fire also. Users who don't need these features, however, might want look for more affordable alternatives.

With a casing made out of solid billet aluminum, the IoSafe Rugged Portable looks and feels like a small brick. It's shiny, however, and much tougher. The drive can handle drops from 10 feet, being submerged in water (even saltwater) at 10 feet deep for up to 72 hours, and being crushed by up to 2,500 pounds, and still keep its data intact. IoSafe says the drive is also fully protected from chemicals and dust. There's another version of the Rugged Portable, housed in titanium casing and based on a solid-state drive, that can withstand even more strenuous environmental challenges.
Considering this level of protection, it's quite amazing how compact the Rugged Portable is. The drive weighs just about 1 pound and measures just 5.7 inches by 0.9 inch by 1 inch. To put this in perspective, the SoloPro, which can withstand extreme heat, weighs about 15 pounds and is considerably bulkier.
The IoSafe Rugged Portable has only one Mini-USB 3.0 port, on the back, and comes with two cables. One of them is a regular Mini-USB 3.0 cable to be used with a USB 3.0 port. This cable works as both a data and a power cable. When used with USB 2.0, however, the drive will need the second, Y-shaped cable. This cable can use two USB ports at the same time to draw enough juice to power the drive.
The Rugged Portable doesn't require setup for use with a Windows computer: all you have to do is plug it in and it will work immediately, as the drive is preformatted using the NTFS file system. To use it with a Mac, however, you'll need to use Disk Utility to reformat it to HFS+, a quick and easy job.
At the bottom, the drive has a registration card affixed to it. You will need this card to register the drive with IoSafe to have the IoSafe Data Recovery Service activated. IoSafe says that with the service the company will pay up to $5,000, depending on which model you buy, to recover data if the drive is damaged for whatever reason. This service can be extended to three or five years. Registration will also offer Windows users a full version of the Genie9 Timeline Pro backup software, for free.

MONDAY, May 16, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Amid the controversy swirling around the value of PSA testing as a screen for prostate cancer, new evidence emerges that there may be ways to fine-tune the screening so it benefits more men, while avoiding unnecessary biopsies and treatment.
PSA refers to the blood protein known as prostate-specific antigen. Higher PSA levels in the blood can mean that a man has prostate cancer or is at greater risk for the disease.
The results of four studies detailing the latest findings were presented during a news conference Monday at the American Urological Association (AUA) annual meeting, in Washington, D.C. Research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until they are published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
The first study found that one measure of PSA, taken before a man turns 50, could gauge how likely he is to die of prostate cancer later on.
In this trial, which had an unusually long average follow-up of 27 years, nearly half of the men who died of prostate cancer had PSA scores of 1.5 or higher before the age of 50, representing the top 10 percent of scores in this group.
"This information may be able to improve our ability to predict death from prostate cancer [at an early age]," said study author Andrew Vickers, associate attending research methodologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. "A PSA above 1.5 is not a reason to panic, but I would tell patients that I really need to see them [again] in two years."
The second study, this time from researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, found that some men over the age of 60 may be able to forego PSA testing without any undue effects.
Although a universal cut-off point was unclear, the researchers did note that men with a PSA under 1.0 when they were in their 60s were less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer.
A third study looked at how fast PSA levels rose via a measurement known as prostate-specific antigen velocity (PSAV). It found that adding PSAV to standard screening may improve the accuracy of traditional PSA screening.
The problem was that there were a lot of false-positives, said the authors, from the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.
The final study, from European and American researchers, also looked at PSAV, concluding that this marker may be able to pinpoint more aggressive tumors.
Again, when added to the PSA test, it may give more accurate insight into what the PSA test actually means.
"We're not making any claims right now, but this may give us clues about [how to modify] practice," said study author Thomas Neville, chief scientist and founder of Soar Biodynamics, in Los Altos, Calif.
According to news conference moderator Dr. Christopher Amling, chief of urology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, the AUA modified its prostate cancer screening guidelines in 2009 to recommend that men should start screening at age 40, or age 45 at the latest.

Auto safety concerns often stay secret – 2/22/13
Herman Ray Evans was killed when the tread separated on his 2001 Ford Explorer's tire, the vehicle rolled over into the median and he was ejected, according to the Daphne, Ala,. police crash report.
Evans was in one of at least 15 fatal tire-related crashes last year in Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers, according to news reports. In Evans' crash, the police department did not find fault with the tiremaker or Ford Motor.
But from April 2002 through 2009, there were 375 similar deaths in mostly older-model Explorers and Mountaineers — nearly four times the number that led to the Ford/Firestone fiasco in 2000, according to an analysis of federal fatality data by the research firm Quality Control Systems. Still, neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration nor Ford Motor recalled the vehicles.

R. Kelly Fights Back Tears During Whitney Houston Funeral Performance
When R. Kelly wrote 'I Look to You' for Whitney Houston 10 years ago, he never thought that he'd be singing it at the legend's funeral. Kelly choked back tears during his rousing performance of the song at Houston's memorial yesterday (Feb. 18), giving a new meaning to the track he penned.Kelly pauses briefly to collect himself at several points throughout his performance, his longest break about midway through. His lips quiver, and he clutches tissues in his free hand.
However, he regains his vocal power shortly after, almost seeming to garner it from the spirit and memory of Houston herself. "When all the melodies are gone," Kelly sings, "In you I can be strong." At times, Kelly sings to the sky, pointing up towards the heavens where he's confident Houston now resides.
Despite his visible sorrow and grief, R. Kelly delivers a powerful performance, evoking tears in everyone onscreen. He rouses the crowd out of their seats before closing with the simplest of sentiments: "Goodbye, Whitney. We love you."

Oregon Home Team
Once a sleepy spot for homesteads and farms, today the picturesque and family-friendly city of Lake Oswego (or 'Lake O' as some refer to it) is decidedly more developed but still worth a visit, whether you're spending an afternoon or simply passing through.
Perhaps most famous for its annual Shakespeare festival, Ashland is worthy of a visit year-round. It boasts enough to delight all the senses, from its culinary delights to its robust music and arts scene, and all feature sweeping views of the Rogue Valley as backdrop.
With populations booming and people becoming ever more aware of their impact on the Earth, it seems only natural that our home sizes are shrinking and the tiny-house movement is here to stay.
Reclaimed wood walls are an interior design trend that shows no sign of slowing, maturing into a market for wood paneling that takes the concept way beyond the knotty pine that graced your grandma's rec room.

Back to Preschool
Whether it's the first time you are dropping your Little Pnut off at school or a skill you've practiced for a few years now, it's always difficult to say goodbye on that first day of the new school year, perhaps even more so for you. Now is the time to wipe away those tears of sadness (or relief) and relish in the knowledge that your Little Pnut is embarking on the adventure of his life.
Your Little Pnuts are about to have the time of their lives. With so many new skill sets to be acquired and mastered and so much knowledge to be absorbed your Little Pnuts are now beginning to develop a deeper love for learning about the world beyond their immediate surroundings.
In preschool, your Little Pnuts will also begin to foster relationships with other Little Pnuts, some of which may last their lifetime. They are further establishing their social skills, interacting with more depth and thoughtfulness. They are learning to take turns, practicing patience as they wait for their chance to try something or play with something, all the while developing focus and concentration. They are learning more and more each day in an environment that is fun, playful and engaging. Your Little Pnuts are now enjoying learning in a social setting—with friends.
At home you will begin to notice your Little Pnut having an increased desire for you to read even more to them. They will begin to interact with stories and to ask unending streams of questions while you are in mid-sentence. Their curiosity is never-ending, absorbing the most amount of knowledge in these years versus the rest of their lives. It really is true, they really are little sponges at this phase in their development.
We as the parents of preschoolers should enforce this love of knowledge as best we can. Conscientiously answering that endless stream of questions with true facts and knowledge. We must challenge them to learn about both winning and losing and how to be motivated to always strive for the best. We must prepare them for their future success so they will know and understand that with hard work and determination they will accomplish what they set out to do.
Preschool is put in place to help your Little Pnuts engage more practically with the world around them and to begin to flourish as little beings. Congratulate them as they are about to conquer the world.
Preschool is fun!

A drop of water
Water is the most common substance on the surface of the Earth. Without it life could not exist. Your body is about 70% water.
Water can exist in 3 states:
- Solid (ice)
- A liquid (water) and
A gas (water vapour)
Its state can be changed by heating or cooling (or by changing the pressure)
How does the state of water change?
When ice is gently warmed, it starts to melt and changes to liquid. When you continue to heat, at around 100° Celsius, it changes to a gas.
Why does this happen?
Water is a molecule with the chemical formula H2O, two hydrogen atoms attached to one oxygen atom. The particles in the solid ice are tightly packed together and joined by chemical bonds called hydrogen bonds. All the time they are vibrating. When you heat the ice the energy you put in makes the vibrations get bigger. Some of the bonds are broken and the particles are free to move around a little - this is when ice becomes a liquid. As more heat is applied, the particles get enough energy to break all their bonds and escape as a gas or steam.
Properties of water
The physical property of matter which describes how closely packed the individual particles of the substance are, is called Density.
Density (D) is a measure of the amount of material (mass or m) in a given space (volume or V) and is expressed as a ratio:
D = m/V.
The difference in the densities of Earth's matter is what drives ocean currents, wind and plate tectonics.
Usually the density of matter increases as it changes from a gas to a liquid, and again as it changes from a liquid to a solid. Density also increases as temperature decreases, because the lowering temperature causes less vibration of the atoms. As the atoms don't move around as much they pack more closely or densely together. Water, however is different! Water has some very unusual physical and chemical properties which makes it one of the most important substances on our planet.
Watch the video recording of ESA astronaut Frank De Winne perform some demonstrations to show how water behaves in conditions of weightlessness on the International Space Station. Educators can use this clip together with the lesson notes below to allow young children to compare how water behaves on Earth and in Space.
1. Solid water – how unusual is this solid!
Why is solid water (ice) unusual?
You would expect that a solid substance like ice would sink. However, you know that when you place some ice cubes in your drink, it floats. Fill a plastic bottle with water and close the top. Place it in the freezer and see what it looks like the next day. You will notice that the top may pop off and the bottle of water looks like it has expanded.
The solid form of water (ice) is LESS dense than the liquid form. The density of pure water at four degrees Celsius is 1.0g/cm cubed, while the density of ice at zero degrees Celsius is only 0.92 g/cm cubed. Liquid water and ice have different densities because in ice, the molecules are further apart, filling more space than in a molecule of liquid water.
In Space: Frank takes a small chunk of ice and places it inside a drop of water. What happens to the ice inside the water drop? Does it float or sink or do something else?
On the International Space Station, everything is in FREEFALL and so there seems to be no force of GRAVITY. Gravity is what keeps us from floating away here on Earth. If you throw something it will always land on the ground. Ouch!
This attraction of pulling everything toward the earth is called Gravitational Force. So just like the astronauts (and anything that isn't tied down firmly!) everything will float on the ISS. Even water. The ice will not float or sink but simply move around the water drop.
2. Polarity of water
Water is a dipolar molecule.Water has the chemical formula H2O which is two hydrogen atoms attached to one oxygen atom. A water molecule has no overall charge. But there is a slight negative charge in the region of the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near the hydrogen atoms. This is called a dipole. The overall charge on the water molecule is nil. The positive charges and negative charges are equal so they cancel each other out.
Demonstrating the dipole nature of water
- Work at a water source (like a tap)
- A glass rod or a plastic ruler
- Allow a gentle stream of water to flow from the tap.
- Take your ruler or rod and bring it close to the water flow. Does anything happen?
- Now rub your ruler or rod several times on a cloth or T-shirt. Bring it close to the water. What happens now? Why do you think this is happening?
On the International Space station, Frank De Winne uses a piece of plastic (instead of a rod) to create some charge (e.g. Positive + charge). By rubbing this plastic on his clothing, he causes positive charge to build up on the surface. By bringing it closer to the water drop, the charge on the plastic will attract the opposite charge on the water molecules (the negative charge from the Oxygen).
Thinking question:
Why can't Frank have a stream of water on the ISS? What happens to the drop of water when he brings the plastic closer to it?
The rod or ruler will attract the stream towards it as there is a positive charge on the rod and it will attract the negative charge on the water molecule.
As Frank brings the plastic close to the water the drop should move around as he moves the charged plastic around. The negative charged oxygen will be attracted to the positive charge on the charged plastic.
Frank cannot use a stream of water on the ISS because everything floats (is in free fall) and the water can easily get into electrical equipment and cause damage. The water has to come from a special drinking water bag and needs to be mopped up afterwards.
3. Solubility of water
Water has a very important property of being able to dissolve many solids and gases. What happens when you add sugar (a solid) to your coffee? Sugar is said to be soluble in water. Some things are insoluble (will not dissolve). Can you think of any? Water is clear so when you dissolve something in it, the water can change colour.
To try: What dissolves?
sugar cube, salt grains, instant coffee and coffee grounds, small pieces of wood (shavings, hay), small shavings of plastic, candle shavings, glass jars, spoon or stirrer, source of water and place to dispose of the waste.
- Add one at a time, various materials to water in a jar and see if the substance dissolves or not. You may need to stir.
- Make a table to show what dissolves and what does not.
On Earth, we can see clearly if something dissolves especially if it has a colour. It seems to 'disappear' into the water. When we add it to our tea/coffee, it tastes sweet (DO NOT TASTE ANYTHING in the classroom!).
In Space, where the conditions are different than on Earth, would sugar also dissolve in tea? We know everything floats but would the sugar just float around in the water or will it actually dissolve?
Frank will try to dissolve sugar in his tea container. What do you think would happen if the water was warmer? Or stirred? Astronauts get special bags which contain tea and sugar. They need to add warm water and shake the bag to dissolve the sugar and mix the tea together. How will Frank know his tea is sweet?
Frank tastes his tea and it is sweet so sugar does actually dissolve in water in space.

Mr. Beyonce and Hova of our hearts Jay-Z performed alongside Bruce Springsteen at a Obama rally in Columbus, Ohio last night. When it came time to perform his classic albeit campaign trail inappropriate hit "99 Problems," Jay-Z decided to rework the lyrics to be a little more apropos. He's got 99 problems, but Mitt ain't one.
P.S. If you're a straight-leaning lady and the thought of President Obama, Jay-Z and Bruce Springsteen hanging out together doesn't give you the slightest south-of-the-border tingles, then I don't know what to do for you.
