Restoration
Classic car restorers can put a little final spit and polish on your classic car, or they can be part magician, part automotive explorers and scholars, turning one or two panels of a car into something that looks like it may have just rolled off the line at Detroit.
Many are generalists, some specialize in one make, some go as far as to be specialists in one particular model of classic car. They can do the work quicker than you can, and they have access to a network of sources for rare spare part, or have invested in special tools in order to reproduce new parts and trim to original specifications.
Many will proudly display to you past jobs, or are happy to have you inspect the premises, and see first-hand some of the current projects being worked on. They are all ware that classic car enthusiasts like to talk about cars, and that a job well-done leads to recommendations.

- I hope this does not offend anyone but, this was something that happened on the way to Docs meet back in the 70s. In those days if you lived where I lived if you wanted to talk Hudsons with anyone outside of the family, you had to travel East. We made it a point to always go to Docs meet at Front Royal. We would work all day Thursday andcome home and the Wife would be all packed and leave. We would drive all night and arrive at Front Royal Friday afternoon, check in to the Motel and go to Doc and Thelmas to say hello and sometimes get involved mixing Docs Super 6 punch in his basement. We would of course sample it to make sure it was OK and then go to the pot luck supper. Sometimes I dont remember much about the supper but I do remember never winning the jar of jelly because my parents traveled 20 miles further. (1100 miles and no sleep since Wed. night. lol) Thats not the story. My parents in their 50 Com.6 convert., My brother and wife in their 52 Wasp, and Linda and I in the 51 HH. We all had CBs and would talk to each other and the truckers as we traveled across the country. Did this for years. It was about 2:00AM on I-74 in the middle of Illinois and the CB talk had quieted down when all of the sudden a trucker came on and said" I just saw a Caddlac, East bound with the dome light on and a naked man and women doing ^&&* in the car. Well, Im East bound but I didnt get the mile marker. Needless to say the CB came alive with "Whats the 20 on that Cad." My wife and kids were asleep and I wasnt going to wake them. lol. This went on for about 1/2 hour and the comments made by the truckers--Well I have never laughed so hard in my life--Finally it had quieted down and this trucker came on with this slow Southern draw and ask the 20 on Cad. When he was told East bound in a almost whisper he said" Damm I am always going the wrong way. I never did see the Cad. and I dont know if it ever existed but, It woke me up and I was able to drive a couple more hours without coffee. And that folks was what is was like on Americas highways and byways in the 70s.LOL
- Ken U-Tx August 2012Posts: 1,090Platinum MemberBack then the Caddys were still big enough to do that, rolling bordellos they were......
oldhudsons August 2012Posts: 1,725Platinum MemberI don't know about Cadillacs as "rolling bordellos" but I know Hudsons were!
Had college buddy who had a really cute early '50s Austin Healey (had o.d. & every time you'd go over a bump it would kick in or out, that's Lucas electrics for you) which I really enjoyed zipping around Tucson in. Anyway we on several occasions traded cars on weekends (I had a '49 S6 coupe, need I say more, LOL!!!!).
35terraplane August 2012Posts: 16HitchhikerThe story goes that Henry Ford was a straight guy (prude) and made Fords narrower than GM cars to discourage Rocking and Rolling in the back seat. After 1946 Fords became as wide as other cars.

- Henry forgot that it was easy to remove the back seat and put a mattress back there. LOL Lot of little car fans should have been named Ford. hehehe
I always like the big 30's sedans - the ones with the assist straps above the door. Get your gal's feet................... But I digress. This is a family oriented venue. hehehehehe

- wano1949 August 2012Posts: 59Senior ContributorI had a 53 Hornet in 1970 in Detroit. A buddy and I were working up there. Just out of Vietnam he was, and I was 4F.
Both of us were crazy.
We were from Ky and his father ran a trucking company up there and we were 21 and 24 years old.
We got to hanging out at a topless bar called "The Waterland" on 8 mile road, on the borderline if you know what I'm talking about.
Danny became friends with a lady named Vicky who danced there.
And for obvious reasons, which I, in my youth and ignorance, didn't realize at the time, he asked to borrow the Hornet to "go to the movies" .
Ok with me and off he went.
Next evening I started somewhere, got in the car and couldn't see out the back window. "Danny, what happened to the headliner?" "Oh, he said, I guess Vicky got excited."
It looked like cats had been fighting in there. Front and back.Clawing the ceiling,
"What the Hell happened Danny?"
"Well Wayne I asked her to put on those spiked heels she had in her bag when I picked her up at the bar, and you know..."
Good thing about a Hudson , you saved money on motel rooms.
Four years later I took my wife to the hospital in the same car to deliver our first child.
Danny passed three years ago and the car left a long time before he did.
We always had a good laugh about sewing up the headliner with a curved upholsters needle and thread.

PAULARGETYPE August 2012Posts: 1,236Platinum MemberLarry next your going to tell the tale about my 57 Hollywood and the local cops LOL
Hudson Grandpa August 2012Posts: 258Gold MemberSpeakiing of MY 57 Hollywood. In 1958 it got inaugurated with the seats down one night. Blanket over the seats. What a great motel room with foggy windows.
PAULARGETYPE August 2012Posts: 1,236Platinum MemberTHATS NOT THE TAIL I WAS TALKING ABOUT BUT I MUST ADMIT I TO HAVE USED A AMC MOTEL ROOM LOL
- Fellows, Im assamed of you people. I didnt do anything like that. Linda and I did nothing but hold hands until we were married. LOL When we started dating there was a classmate with a 57 Pontiac that was also chasing her. On one of are little spats she mention his nice car. I made the statement that ifshe thought it was so neat go ahead and date him. Besides I could always find another girl and it would be alot harder to find a clean 52 Hornet (I was driving at the time). PS I paid many times for that statement through the years but we will celebrate our 49 anniversity in Sept. LOL Paul I have stories about that 57 that will make you faint but thats for next time.LOL
Hudson Grandpa August 2012Posts: 258Gold Membercmon, cmon,, lets hear you faint, as long as we are in the mode.....At least one!
- In high school, in the early 50's, I had for a short while a 1939 Dodge coupe with a 53 Dodge 241 hemi, etc etc etc. Thought it was a pretty hot car and it did wipe out a lot of challegers.
One Sat. evening at the local back road drag strip we were interrupted by the local gendarmes. Naturally we all scattered to the four winds, me with a cop on my butt. Finally I made a corner he didn't. Since Dad didn't say anything to me on Sunday I figured I'd gotten away with it. Remember - this was the 50's. Kids didn't get away with ANYTHING!!!! Monday morning I came down to go to school and Dad was still home. All he said was 'give me you car keys'.
That night I came home and he handed me something like $500 and told me he'd sold my car - that I didn't deserve it. Then he added the kick in the pants - "we'll go out buy you a car you need to have." Oh, crap.
It wasn't bad enough that he sold my beloved hot rot; he made me buy a 1949 Nash 600 sedan!!!! A Nashcan!!!!!!!! Oh Lord. Do you realize how hard it is to have a date in one of those things - oh the girls wanted to go out, but their Daddies would only let them in my car if he was sitting in the back seat with a shotgun!!!!!!
That isn't to say it was a total failure however.
- hudsontech, ditto,ditto on the 50s. In the 50s it was the parents and the cops against the kids. I had a similiar thing happen. I had 49 super 6 coupe that I had put a straight 8 in out of a wrecked car and was getting pretty good at drag racing. I was chosen to go to Boys State for a week at a Army camp. If your father was a veteran and you had good grades and The American Legion thought you might amount to something (I think I may have disapointed many people) you were chosen. Anyway on Wed. of that week I received a post card from dad telling me he had sold my car.The car was in his name for insurance reasons and I payed him the premions. When I got home he gave me the money and I eventualy bought a 51 Pacemaker that would not go over 70 MPH until I found that SOMEONE had bent the linkage so the carb. would not open clear up. I really feel sorry for anyone that didnt grow up in that period of time.
- Hudson Grandpa, I do have some stories about Pauls Hudson but, I have know Paul for ever and condsider him a very good friend. I like to rib him when I get the chance and I hope he knows I am just kidding. I did own his black 57 HH and another person bought it from me before Paul got it. Besides in those days if I wanted to do some serious road racing I drove the stepdowns lol

Classic Car News
Fiat and Mazda join forces
2013-01-26
Image: Soctech, 2006; Mister Hambo, 2004
Fiat and Mazda may be two very different auto manufacturers, but they do share a number of similarities when you look at their back catalogues of classic cars.
Fiat has been the owner of Alfa Romeo since the late 1980s, although prior to its acquisition, it was responsible for the creation of a number of iconic sports cars, best known of which is the Spider.
Meanwhile, Mazda carved its own way to greatness with the Miata MX-5. This model has a similar ethos to the classic Spider and has continued to provide affordable two seater fun since its launch in 1989.
Now it has been announced officially by Mazda that it is partnering with Fiat to produce a new platform on which the upcoming MX-5 Miata and Alfa Romeo Spider will be based.
While Mazda will build its MX-5 over in Japan, Fiat has yet to announce the venue for the production of its own model. But the platform share will help to reduce the cost of development for both companies and should result in more affordable finished products.
Of course, you can always grab a classic Mazda MX-5 Miata right now and experience the range in its purest form.

After a planning process that launched in April 2008 and included more than a year of public comment,
has recently released its draft State Energy Plan. Major elements in the SEP include: Long-range energy policy objectives and strategies to increase supply and reduce demand; 10 year demand forecasts; supply requirements needed to meet forecast demand; assessment of existing systems; projections of energy prices; analysis of potential sustainable energy resources and impacts. New York State
The document is an interesting look into the State's energy future -- along with a blueprint for stimulating economic growth and technology innovation.
Read the full project scope and background here:
Additional documents related to the plan will continue to be posted to the website where there is also the ability to sign-up for e-mail updates.

Renewable Technologies and Carbon Cycling: Fueling the Debate solar. These following points “fuel” the debate:
- Not all renewable energy sources (e.g. wind vs. biomass) displace the same fossil fuels in regards to CO2 emissions.
- Not all fossil fuels produce the same level of pollution (coal power plants produce more CO2 than natural gas.)
Join SUNY ESF and its partners on Thursday, November 4th for presentations and debate about carbon cycling and renewable technologies from a production, policy and viability perspective. Participants are also invited to come the prior evening, November 3rd, for panel discussions at the SU Whitman School of Management on renewable technologies.

Andrew Cuomo's Solar Energy Platform
The plan encourages the growth of solar photovoltaic, the creation of solar renewable energy credits and the adoption of solar thermal water heating. Cuomo has identified solar photovoltaics as the perfect fit for New York's dense urban areas with high energy demands and little extra space for other renewable energy sources such as wind.
In his plan, Cuomo outlines the cost effectiveness of employing solar thermal technology to heat water on both commercial and residential scales and establishes an aggressive program to install solar thermal in public, private and commercial buildings in the State of New York.

Breaking News: Recusal Motion in Da Silva Moore Case Deniedby Philip Favro on November 8th, 2012
In what might be characterized as the most anticipated ruling in the eDiscovery world over the past several months, the district court in Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe today denied the plaintiffs’ motion to recuse the Honorable Andrew Peck as the assigned magistrate to that action. In rejecting the plaintiffs’ recusal request, United States District Court Judge Andrew Carter held that “Judge Peck’s decision accepting computer-assisted review, reached upon consideration of the applicable law, was not influenced by bias, nor did it create any appearance of bias.”
Judge Carter’s decision is particularly significant as it leaves undisturbed Judge Peck’s orders regarding the use of predictive coding and his declaration that computer-assisted review in eDiscovery is “acceptable in appropriate cases.” Moreover, Judge Carter gave another judicial imprimatur to predictive coding with his determination that it “does not inherently favor one party over the other in this case.”
With today’s ruling, Judge Carter has perhaps finally brought to a close the contentious sideshow that nearly overshadowed the first known case involving the use of predictive coding in eDiscovery. With its potential to reduce the costs and delays associated with the review of ESI, predictive coding holds incredible promise for the future of eDiscovery.

Ohio State’s spring football game
- When: Saturday, 1:30 p.m., Ohio Stadium
- Tickets: $9.25 in advance at Ohiostatebuckeyes.com/tickets ($7 per ticket and $2.25 fee) or $15 at the gate (cash only) on Saturday. According to Ohio State, more than 47,000 tickets have been sold so far.
- Teams: Offensive coordinator Tom Herman and defensive coordinator Luke Fickell will conduct a draft Thursday morning to determine the teams.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The quarterback in Urban Meyer's first full recruiting class at Florida, in 2006, was Tim Tebow. Now Meyer has a quarterback in his first full recruiting class at Ohio State, with four-star Texas high schooler J.T. Barrett giving an oral commitment to the Buckeyes' Class of 2013 on Wednesday.
Barrett was thinking about Tebow when he made his decision.
"Coach Meyer told me Tim Tebow still calls him twice a week, and I want that relationship. Even if I'm not playing in the NFL and I'm out there in the working world, I still want to be able to call Coach Meyer, and that personal relationship was a bigger deal to me than even football," Barrett told The Plain Dealer in an interview Wednesday afternoon before he headed out to spring football practice at Rider High School in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Barrett, at 6-1 and 209 pounds, is ranked the No. 7 quarterback in the Class of 2013 by Scout.com and the No. 6 dual-threat quarterback by Rivals.com. He's ranked as the No. 134 overall player in the class by Rivals and he becomes the 10th pledge to this class for Ohio State, after Elyria defensive lineman Tracy Sprinkle announced his intentions Tuesday.
He's a big get for the Buckeyes, as Meyer continues the national scope of his recruiting. Meyer's version of the spread relies on a quarterback to make decisions, run and throw. Barrett, who started at quarterback for the first time as a junior, runs a version of the spread with a lot of zone-option reads at his high school.
"He's a dual-threat type of kid, a great leader and very dependable," said Greg Powers, the Midland regional manager of recruiting for Scout.com, who has seen Barrett in action several times. "He completes a high percentage of passes and when something's not open he's very smart with the football and brings it down and turns it into something on the ground."
Since he arrived in Columbus, Meyer has been talking about how he values leadership and competitiveness even more than physical skill. So getting the right guy as the likely successor to sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller is crucial. If he doesn't redshirt, Barrett would be two years behind Miller and likely competing with current freshman Cardale Jones for the job in 2015.
Barrett's high school coach, Jim Garfield, said Barrett is one of the best leaders he has seen.
"When he talks, everybody listens," Garfield said. "He commands respect."
Barrett also had scholarship offers from LSU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Nebraska and Arizona, among others. To make his choice, he said he used the same technique he uses before high-school games, visualizing himself in different situations. He pictured playing for Ohio State, for LSU, for Baylor and for Texas Tech, and he decided he was ready to lock in as a Buckeye.
."
Rider High School also produced receiver David Nelson, who played for Meyer at Florida and was one of the players who defended the coach after a story about Meyer's Florida program in the Sporting News last week.
Barrett said he had been a fan of Meyer and he talked to Nelson, among others, before making his decision.
"Every guy I talked to didn't have anything bad to say about Coach Meyer," Barrett said. "I talked to a lot of people, and when not a bad word is said about you, that's a big deal."
Being the first quarterback recruit for Meyer is a pretty big deal, too.

(Editor's note: One in a series of Indians previews prior to the start of training camp on Sunday. Previously, the bullpen, the outfield, the infield, AL Central preview.)
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There's one word for the Indians' starting pitching last season: terrible.
The cure? Manager Terry Francona says it starts with getting more and better innings from his experienced starters. Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Brett Myers should be listening right now.
Masterson and Jimenez combined to pitch 383 innings last year, 206 1/3 by Masterson and 176 2/3 by Jimenez. It's an acceptable workload, but unfortunately most of those innings were bad ones. Masterson and Jimenez combined to lose 32 games and post a 5.15 ERA.
Myers pitched strictly in relief last season for Houston and the White Sox, but he's made 249 starts in the big leagues. As recently as 2011, the 32-year-old right-hander made 33 starts and pitched 216 innings for Houston. It's the main reason the Indians signed him to a one-year, $7 million deal in January.
"If we can get innings from the top of the staff, it will give us a chance to develop some of our younger starters," said Francona. "We're in this to win, but we're also trying to develop pitchers at the major-league level."
What Francona is talking about is protection. At the winter meetings, he made a point of saying the Indians needed more veterans on their 25-man roster. Veterans who know what it's like to be caught in the cross hairs of a big moment. It's one of the reasons lefty Scott Kazmir was invited to camp on a minor-league deal.
"Sometimes you ask young guys to do too much too quick," said Francona. "That's not development. That's getting beat up, especially with pitchers. If you can back those guys up and take a little pressure off them, that can certainly help their development."
Behind Masterson, Jimenez and Myers, the Indians will be counting on young starters to fill out the rest of the rotation. GM Chris Antonetti said Zach McAllister has the edge for the fourth spot going into spring training. After that comes Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer and David Huff. Kazmir will get a chance as well.
With camp opening Sunday in Goodyear, Ariz., Francona said the fifth spot is "wide open."
"The hope is that one of those guys will jump up right away and take the job," he said.
Here's a look at how the rotation rated statistically in the American League last year.
Tribe starters pitched 913 2/3 innings, third fewest in the league. They lost the most games with 76, allowed the most hits with 1,026, and allowed the highest on-base percentage at .351. They posted the second-highest ERA at 5.25, walked the second-most batters at 351, allowed the second-highest batting average against at .284, and struck out the second-fewest batters with 621. No wonder the Tribe is on its fourth pitching coach since 2010.
Now for a look at the Tribe starters and potential starters for 2013:
RHP Justin Masterson
2012 stats: He went 11-15 with a 4.93 ERA in 34 starts and pitched over 200 innings for the second straight season. Lefties hit .296 (135-for-456) and righties .232 (77-for-332) against the side-arming right-hander.
Comment: Masterson underwent surgery on his left shoulder after the 2011 season. He never complained about it last year, but it might have played a part in how inconsistent he was.
RHP Ubaldo Jimenez
2012 stats: He went 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA while leading the AL in losses, wild pitches with 16 and stolen bases against with 32. He also issued the second-most walks with 95. In short, he was a train wreck.
Comment: New pitching coach Mickey Callaway made two visits to the Dominican Republic during the off-season to work with Jimenez.
RHP Brett Myers
2012 stats: He went 3-8 with 19 saves and 3.31 ERA; 0-4 with 19 saves and 3.52 ERA in 35 appearances with Houston and 3-4 with a 3.12 ERA in 35 appearances with Chicago. Myers doesn't think he'll have a problem moving back to the rotation because he did the same thing in 2008 after saving 21 games for the Phillies in 2007.
Comment: If Myers can avoid a Derek Lowe-like fade, circa 2012, and give the Indians between 180 and 200 innings, they'll celebrate.
RHP Zach McAllister
2012 stats: He went 6-8 with a 4.24 ERA in 22 starts covering 125 1/3 innings. Struck out 110, walked 38, but was stung by 19 homers.
Comment: He's one of the young starters who could have used some veteran protection last year.
LHP Scott Kazmir
2012 stats: Pitched in the independent Atlantic League last year. He last pitched in the big leagues in 2011, appearing in one game for the Angels.
Comment: Edwin Rodriguez, one of the Indians minor-league managers, managed Kazmir in Puerto Rico this winter and said his velocity is back.
RHP Corey Kluber
2012 stats: He went 2-5 with a 5.14 ERA in 12 starts after going 11-7 with a 3.59 ERA in 21 starts at Class AAA Columbus. Kluber made his first six starts with the Indians last season in August, their worst month in franchise history. The Indians went 5-24, Kluber went 0-3.
Comment: He's recovering from right knee surgery, but should be ready to compete for a job in spring training.
RHP Carlos Carrasco
2012 stats: He spent last season on the disabled list while recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. During his rehab late last year, he was frequently clocked in the high 90s.
Comment: If Carrasco doesn't make the rotation out of spring training, he'll be in it quickly as long he can stay healthy.
RHP Trevor Bauer
2012 stats: Arizona's No.1 pick in 2011 went 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA in four starts last year with the D-backs. In the minors, he went 12-2 with a 2.41 ERA at Class AA Mobile and Class AAA Reno.
Comment: He probably needs more time at Class AAA, but this is a guy the Indians have coveted since his UCLA days. They'll put up with his quirks as long as he pitches well.
LHP David Huff
2012 stats: He went 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in six appearances, including four starts, after going 7-6 with a 4.97 ERA in 24 games, including 22 starts, at Class AAA Columbus.
Comment: It seems like Huff is in the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation every spring. This time he's out of options and could be tested in the bullpen.

New Year’s resolutions made at the start of the year won’t make that much difference in the coming months.
Those who knew their God at the ending of 2012 will no doubt continue their journey with Christ.
But for those who have regrets in their living and have gone in the wrong direction, the new year is a good time to take stock and make decisions for the right.
This day can be the beginning of a new life, just as for the man of Gadara, who lived among the tombs (Luke 8:27). His transformation, however, didn’t come about with resolutions, only by the power of Christ.
Jesus and his disciples had crossed over the sea of Galilee to the land of the Gadarenes coming to shore at one of the cities of the Decapolis — now Umm Qais — and there met the situation.
After Jesus had stilled the storm while crossing the Galilee, the group now faced this man who had been ostracized from society. The tormented man had no hope — he had no rest, no joy, no place and no peace.
Unpleasant circumstances had forced the man to live in fear and uncertainty. No longer could he enjoy the security and assurance of “home.”
No longer could he have the normalcy of life. He didn’t know that the Son of God would be his visitor that day and then everything would change. He didn’t know that this day would be the beginning of a new life.
He didn’t know this group of men who landed on the shores of Gadara meant the difference between life and death.
But Jesus changed things for this outcast — He delivered him from the devils which (by request) then went into swine nearby.
The pigs, according to Scripture, ran off the cliffs into the water and drowned.
“Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee” (Luke 8:39).
These were the words of Jesus to the man, after deliverance from the demons who possessed his soul, mind and body..
How foolish it is to “live among the tombs,” when.”

This week I shared how to create your holiday budget and how important it is to do so over at Valpak.com. (You can check out the article here.) I know for our family, our budget will be much higher heading into this week with all the entertaining that we’ll be doing. Plus, we’re hosting a 1st birthday party for family in honor of our little one.
Today, I wanted to start by sharing how I create my budget and keep things organized during this time of year.
(By the way, don’t forget to check out my Turkey and Ham price comparison list for our grocery stores!)
First Step – Set the Amount I can spend.
Our budget this year is $150 for the week. This will include everything I need to feed our family and my in-laws for 5 days, the 1st birthday party meal for 10 adults and 3 kids and cake, as well as the side I’m providing for Thanksgiving.
Second Step – Create a Meal Plan and list everything I’ll need to buy.
I created a list of meals I’ll be preparing and then visited my stockpile to figure out what items I have on hand and what items I need to buy. My meal plan is based on using as many items from my pantry as possible to cut down on my costs. I also plan to be very flexible with breakfast and lunch so I’ve listed a number of items I plan to have on hand to cater to what our family is in the mood for.
Meal Plan
Breakfast (flexible) - Cereal, Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Need to buy: Milk, eggs
Have already: Cereal, Coffee, flour, cinnamon, sugar, butter
Lunch (flexible) - PB&J, Fruit, Milk, Sandwiches, Chips
Need to Buy: Milk, Bread, Fruit, Chips, Bread, Lunchmeat
Have already: PB&J
Tuesday
Dinner – Breakfast for Dinner
Need to Buy: Nothing
Have already: Sausage, Pancake Mix
Late Night Snack (when in-laws arrive): Cheese and Crackers
Need to Buy: Cheese, Crackers
Wednesday (Party Day!)
Dinner (Birthday Party): Lasagna, Salad, Garlic Bread, Cake, Ice Cream
Need to buy: salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread, cake mix, confectionary sugar, milk, ice cream
Have already: noodles, sauce, ground beef (see cow), ricotta, mozarella cheese, vanilla
Thursday (Thanksgiving)
Dinner: Cucumber Salad
Need to buy: cucumbers, sour cream, red onion
Have already: vinegar, dill
Friday
Dinner: Homemade Pizza, Salad
Need to buy: ham, basil, “real” mozarella cheese, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers
Have already: bread flour, yeast, olive oil, mozarella cheese, pizza sauce, onions, peppers
Saturday:
Dinner: Leftovers
Need to buy: nothing!
Third Step – Compile all needed items into one shopping list.
Shopping List:
Produce:
Salad (lasagna dinner & pizza night)
Cucumber (Cucumber salad)
Red Onion
Sour Cream
Tomatoes
Fruit
Dairy:
Milk
eggs
“Real” Mozarella Cheese
Grocery:
Bread
Chips
Crackers
Cake Mix
Powdered Sugar
Deli:
Ham
Lunchmeat for lunches
Frozen:
Ice Cream
Garlic Bread
Tomorrow I’ll share how I’m going to take this list and create my shopping plan! I have to admit, I’m not as overwhelmed now that I have a list of what I need. It helps to be bringing a side to Thanksgiving! Thanks mom! :) I also think I’ll be under budget so I’ll have some extra money to spend on decorations and maybe a few more additional fun items!
Stay tuned…

'Argo,' 'Les Miserables' take top Globes
Daniel Day-Lewis, Jessica Chastain take best actor awards
"Argo,".
Mychael Danna, who composed the score for best movie nominee "Life of Pi," won for best original score in a movie.
The Austrian film "Amour" won best foreign film, presented by Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Pixar film "Brave" carried home the Globe for best animated feature film.
Unlike the Oscars, the Globes also honor television with 11 awards.
HBO's "Game Change" won three TV Globes, including for best made-for-TV miniseries or movie. Julianne Moore was given the best actress in a made-for-TV miniseries or movie award for portraying former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Ed Harris was awarded the best supporting actor Globe for his work on "Game Change."..
Poehler joked that Gervais proved that "when you run afoul of the Hollywood Foreign Press, they make you host the show two more times."
Poehler's best one-liner, based on the loud audience laughter, targeted Kathryn Bigelow, director of best movie nominee "Zero Dark Thirty," which is controversial because of its portrayal of the torture of terror detainees. "When it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron," Poehler said.

Michigan citizens sign petition to secede from US
Michigan among states with petitions to secede from United States
Published On: Nov 15 2012 09:58:27 PM EST Updated On: Nov 15 2012 10:22:40 PM EST
In the wake of President Barack Obama's re-election, a group of Michiganders want to leave the United States behind.
Citizens are signing a petition calling for Michigan to secede from the U.S. and create its own new government.
So far just more than 18,000 signatures are on the petition.
Michigan is not the only state with such an idea -- citizens in 19 other states have filed similar peaceful secession petitions.
The Michigan petition asks the Obama administration to "peacefully grant the State of Michigan to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own new government."
Many of the signatures on the petition are from individuals who live outside of Michigan.

Neither John Mayer nor Katy Perry have been particularly open about their relationship, thus far letting photos of them together do all of the talking.
But Mayer, who recently reclaimed his voice on stage, spoke on their status with Rolling Stone, saying he's in a good place with Perry.."

There are many maxims on how to make and save money, but media mogul Edward W. Scripps has some that are a little unorthodox.
Scripps began building his media empire in 1878. Now, it encompasses 20 newspapers, broadcast television stations, cable networks and along with other media enterprises, it spans many states.
Scripps was very keen on ethics and keeping his money, business and life in balanced perspective. In his life, he followed a 23-point code of conduct which he detailed in his essay "Some Outlandish Rules for Making Money."
Here are some highlights:
Never spend as much money as you earn. The smaller your expenditures, the larger your profits. If you're always just breaking even, you're setting yourself up for trouble. Any bump in the road could spell disaster.
Never do anything today that you can put off until tomorrow. This may sound like procrastination, but there are always too many things to do in a single day. It is important to prioritize and to apply your time and energy only where it's needed. You may even find the things that are not worth doing today are not worth doing at all.
Never do anything yourself when you can get someone else to do it for you. This may sound like laziness, but when you delegate tasks to others, you are able to focus on the things only you can do -- and do them well.
Never do anything that someone else is already doing. Why compete with anyone else when you could have a monopoly in a different field? Find a need within your community that isn't being addressed, and design a service to take care of it. If something compels you to compete in a market, make sure that what you are doing is different in every way possible from your competitor.
Never do the same thing twice. There is always a better way of doing something. Make sure that every time you succeed, you try to find out how to make the next round better. This will keep you ahead of any competition, keep you on forward-moving track, and your customers will appreciate the effort.
If you're succeeding, keep the "how" and "why" under wraps. If you share your key to success, someone else can try to copy your formula. It's better to keep your best hand a secret.
Save Money. No one can save themselves rich, but savings are capital. Capital can transform into security, investments and additional opportunities.
Thinking should be the hardest work you do. With a business, each decision should be carefully examined. Success brings more questions and requires sharper thought to continue growth. Push yourself to question conventions and examine your business and finances at all times.

Open thread: 13 Dec 2012Richard Treadgold | December 13, 2012
I’m sorry for my absence.
I hate not writing here; it’s as though there’s been a death in the family. But academic proofreading at the end of the year goes through the roof and earning money takes precedence over everything.
In case you have things to say, here’s a fresh thread to say it in. Goodness knows, there’s plenty to talk about.
Stay well. I’ll be back in a week or so.
The worst of the BEST
By Nir Shaviv, Thu, 2012-12-06 19:51.

>”….the conclusions from their follow up analyses are unfounded. This is primarily because they used modeling which is too simple (and with it they killed the solar effect) and unphysical (response to volcanic forcing is much smaller than the response to CO2 forcing)”
Could be said of other recent efforts I can think of.
BTW, BEST preliminary at Wood for Trees is definitely a work in progress. Check out the 2010 El Niño:-
How about North Korea?
This country is the eco-greeny paradise.
Most people have no electricity, no car and no energy consuming appliances.
It has no oil.
Its everything the greenies say they want. (For the rest of us that is)
So what say we make a deal with Dear Leader?
All our nature loving do-gooders, for all the North Koreans who want out?
Throw in some shiny weapons and promise to have Dear Leaders praises sung at any embassy he comes to, just as long as he makes sure the greenies get for sure, what they claim they want.
For a diversion from things climate I recommend the Optical Illusions page at Bored Panda (the only magazine for pandas):-
One for Gareth to ponder on:
Surprising (for me anyway) industrial uses for carbon dioxide:-
Supercritical carbon dioxide
Supercritical carbon dioxide is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure.
E.g.
Supercritical CO2 is becoming an important commercial and industrial solvent due to its role in chemical extraction in addition to its low toxicity and environmental impact.
And,
Carbon dioxide is gaining popularity among coffee manufacturers looking to move away from some of the classic decaffeinating solvents of the past, many of which lead to public outcry because of real or perceived dangers related to their use in food preparation.
And,
Supercritical carbon dioxide can also be used as a more environmentally friendly solvent for dry cleaning as compared to more traditional solvents such as hydrocarbons and perchloroethylene.
And,
Recent studies have proved SC-CO2 is an effective alternative for terminal sterilization of biological materials and medical devices.
And,
Supercritical carbon dioxide is used as the extraction solvent for creation of essential oils and other herbal distillates. Its main advantages over solvents such as hexane and acetone in this process are that it is non-toxic and non-flammable.
And,
Supercritical carbon dioxide is also an important emerging natural refrigerant, being used in new, low carbon solutions for domestic heat pumps. [I knew about this at least]
And last but possibly the most surprising,. Given the volume of polluting fuels used in producing electricity, the environmental impact of cycle efficiency increases would be significant.
# # #
I only stumbled on this by spotting the hotlink on the essential oil page I was reading:-

adaptation stories, lessons, and explorations
By Devyani Parameshwar, Intellcap.
Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. Lots of people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Though now the topic is the resistance and adaptation to climate change must take into account the importance of working together with our leaders, and that climate change is a huge problem not solved in a few hands.
So different countries have policies that we know to know how each country contributes. For now I leave policies in Colombia

Today’s tutorial i will demonstrate how to create enormous affection in space love. In this tutorial we using some photoshop new tools including the refine edge feature, which really helps to make more efficient the process of masking and removing objects from their background. So why not have a try…
Resources
The following resources were used during the production of this tutorial:
- Model
- Helmet
- Necklace
Step 1
Normally, I would ignore this step because it’s quite basic but Photoshop CS5′s new Refine Edge feature is extremely easy to use and can save you a lot of time.
Okay, let’s get started! Open your stock photo. Choose the Quick Selection Tool (W), it may be hidden under the Magic Wand Tool. Depending on your photo’s resolution, choose a suitable brush size, then paint over the parts you don’t need as shown below.
With selection still activated, click Refine Edge on the Option bar. When the Refine Edge dialog box comes appears, choose View: On Layer (Hotkey: L). Use the settings below:
- Edge Detection: Check Radius, Radius: 6px
- Smooth: 20
- Constrast: 20%
- Shift Edge: +20%
- Check Decontaminate Colors: 70% for Amount.
Don’t click OK! With the Refine Edge dialog box still open, click “Refine Radius Tool (E) expands detection area” on the left side. Then draw over the cutting edges, do this a few times to get a desired result.
Save this as a PSD file or a PNG with a transparent background. We will need this later on.
Step 2
Open Sky 1. Go to Image > Adjustments > Curves:
Place Sky 2 into the document and scale it to fit. Position on top of the background layer and set blending mode to Overlay.
Now place the Wave photo. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. Position “wave” layer between the two cloud layers. Change blending mode to multiply.
Step 3
Now place the PSD/PNG model photo from Step 1 into your working document. Put her on the top layer (name it Model). Cmd + T to resize her and rotate as shown below.
Place the Wings photo into your working document. Resize, rotate, and then duplicate the “wings” layer. Put one below the Model layer and one above.
With the “Wings front” layer still activated, pick the Eraser Tool (E), with the brush’s hardness set to 100%. Remove the left wing to reveal model’s body. Don’t worries, we already have a backup wing underneath?
Step 4
Place the Helmet image into the working document, name it “Helmet” and put it on the top layer. Use the Lasso Tool (L) to cut it into 2 parts (back and front) and split it into 2 different layers.
Put the “Helmet back” layer underneath the Model layer and set “Helmet back’s opacity to 60%. Resize and rotate them as shown below.
Pick the Dodge Tool (O) and use a small soft brush set to Range: Highlights, Exposure: 80%. Shade both helmet front & back until it looks shiny.
Step 5
Place the Necklace photo into your working document on the topmost layer. Resize, rotate, and distort it until it fits on the model’s neck.
Step 6
Let’s add a bit more hair to the model using our Hair Brush set.
Use the technique we outlined in Step 3 to reveal the model’s arm.
Step 7
Now let’s make some ribbons with the Pen Tool (P). Create a new layer on top of everything, name it Ribbon 1, select the Pen Tool (P), then draw a path like the one shown below (remember to use the Direct Selection Tool to customize your path where needed).
Using the Direct Selection Tool, right click on the path, then choose “Fill path”, fill it with any color, then click OK. We will fix it later. Apply a layer style as shown below with a Gradient Overlay.
Note: if your ribbon is not curvy enough, just go to Edit > Transform > Warp, with this tool you can freely create many styles of ribbons. As you can see I created two more ribbons with their Opacity set to 60%.
Step 8
Now let’s create some stars. Choose the Brush Tool (B), select a soft brush 15px, then open the Brush Palette.
Paint stars on the canvas as shown below. Use the scatter and size jitter feature to vary the size and placement of each star.
Set Star layer’s blending mode to Overlay, and then select the Eraser Tool using a soft, large brush to erase stars you don’t want.
Step 9
Open the Rose photo, cut out one piece, crop it, then go to Edit > Define Brush > Name it Rose.
Now go back to your working document, select your Brush Tool (B), choose the rose brush that you just created, open the Brush Palette and use the settings below.
Create a new layer and bring it to the front. Choose red, orange as colors, draw pieces of rose that follow her body, after her hand.
Step 10
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. Do these three times to make three Color Balance layers. Use the settings below.
Now click on the layer mask thumbnail of the Color Balance 2 layer, select the Eraser Tool using a soft, large brush with the Opacity set to 50% erase the center area of the picture, do the same thing with the Color Balance layer 3 and you are finished!
Final Result:
Hope you love this tutorial.
I feel really glad if you give me feedback through comment below. Soon i am going to show more interesting & innovative tutorials so please keep visit our blog. That’s for now.
Have fun!

Report: Chris Paul says he will not extend with Clippers, Warriors [doesn't mean he won't resign though]
David Aldridge at NBA.com reports: "Chris Paul will not commit to signing a contract extension after this season with either the Golden State Warriors or Los Angeles Clippers if he is traded to either team by the New Orleans Hornets, citing the potential financial hit if he were to do that rather than becoming a free agent and signing a new deal with a new team next summer, according to league sources. That has left potential deals with both teams in limbo…. The Clippers, for example, are very reluctant to include the unprotected first-round pick from Minnesota they currently own in any deal with New Orleans — which is understandably holding out for the maximum amount possible in exchange for its franchise player — under the current scenario."

Baby #3 is well on his/her way.
Sorry for the creepy ultrasound picture…but it’s the law of blogging-you-are-pregnant…you must share the ultrasound picture.
I’m due March 19th…so I’ll have 3 babies born in March…so every March we’ll be the party house and sick of cake. :) We are really excited…I’m not feeling ready for 3 kids, but it will come. To celebrate I started a baby quilt that I’m not quite sure about:
I’m trying to jump out of my color comfort zone…but it might be a mistake. I’ll show you even if it is...unless it's really bad.

Congratulations!
all 3 of my children were born in July (within 10 days), and that is exactly how we feel! Party, party, party, cake, cake, cake! My birthday is in August, and by that time, everyone is too sick of birthdays to care! =)
Congratulations! And those pictures are so cool! Makes it so much more "real" somehow doesn't it?
Congrats! Three is not much different to two. I'm sure your quilt will look great. Have faith! {{{hugs}}} Julia
i love creepy ultrasound pictures! Congratulations!
What wonderful news! Congratulations to the 5 of you :) Here's to many beautiful baby quilts!
Congratulations!
Also, it can't be really bad. You will make it work. And if you don't, it's still a learning experience and sharing helps make sure we all learn a little bit. :-)
Congratulations, this will be a special baby.
Felicitations! A third child is a blessing, which we must remind ourselves of when we are tired!! Wishing you a peaceful pregnancy ♥
Wahoooo! Congratulations! What a blessing!
Congrats!! I have two boys under three and know I'm not ready for a third, but I'm starting to get baby fever!! (Ticking biological clock?) Maybe I'll just live vicariously through you and all the other bloggers having babies soon. Good luck with your pregnancy!! :)
Congrats! I remember being pregnant with #3 as a bit overwhelming (two little children to take care of), but his babyhood was wonderful (two little helpers to fetch, carry, and clean up!) I am glad it is you and not me, as I have had six, and the youngest is now 16 (but I also run a daycare of eleven children!!) Take good care of yourself!! You know that only you can, and your whole family is depending on you. Best wishes!
Wow! Congrats! That is such happy news. :)
Congratulations! How fun to have a larger family! Here's to a safe and uneventful pregnancy!
Congratulations on #3! Babies are such a blessing. Do you wait until the birth to find out the gender?
three is a great number, I had a boy then two girls just 18 mo apart. My youngest daughter just had her first, a boy and two girls, TRIPLETS! It is a bit overwhelming right now but will be oh so much fun in a year or so!
Поздравляю!!!
Congratulations xxx
Congrats!
Congratulations to you and your family. I have 3 and it's wonderful. Many blessings to you.
Congrats! I was looking forward to a March baby at this time last year and now have a sweet six-month-old sleeping in her crib. We have two March kids now so it'll be a party month!
YAY Allison..... it will either be 3 boys or a little sister who will never be able to date with two older brothers :)
Congratulations to you and your family. I have five children, four boys and one girl,and I am very happy with my family...
With love Katri
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Both my babies were born in June with 5days between. I have almost finished my sons quilt he is three months now, just sewing the last of the binding. Yay!
Congratulations! You'll be ready (or have to be) when he/she is born! Are you feeling well?
Congratulations! Being a mum of three myself I'm a huge supporter of the three-child family! It's tiring but lots of fun! Wishing you a very happy pregnancy!
Congratulations, Allison !
Congratulations Allison, three is a nice number!!
Congratulations, Allison! This is wonderful news! Hope it's smooth sailing all the way to March!
Congratulations! So exciting

Congratulations! That's lovely news :-)
Congrats and hugs!
MMMmmm cske!
Congratulations!
Congrats to you and the family !!!
All the best people are born in March :)
Congratultions to you all! Seems to be something in the blogging waters! I really want three or four kids, more the merrier, right?!
Congratulations Allison!!
I am so happy for you.
hugs. Trish
Congratulations Allison!!! I am thrilled for you and your growing family. Isn't it amazing the age we live in when we can SEE our baby growing!!! How amazing is that? I wish you more delights and joy than you ever thought your heart could hold!!!
Congratulations!!! Wonderful news to wake up to :)
Congratulations to you and your family! What a wonderful time March will be.
Awe, congratulations! How fun....hope all goes very well this pregnancy for you. =)
Ohhh Allison congratulations!!! We have three children and it's a whole lot more fun than two :-) Wishing you a smooth and happy pregnancy. Leigh
Congratulations!!! Hope everything goes well and you are feeling good!! From my experience, the first 2 kids are the hardest, #3 and #4 (you probly don't want to think about that) were much easier to get used to. You're already in the routine and have all the baby stuff you need, and depending on the ages of the others, you can get at least a little help from them. Looking forward to seeing your "out of your comfort zone color" quilt!
Parabéns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! três é uma boa conta, felicidades aos cinco!!!!!!
How exciting!! Congratulations xx
Congrats to you! 3 babies is a good number. Can't wait to see the quilt!
aww! So exciting! Congratulations!
Congratulations!!!! March is a good month, as you already know!
Congratulations!!!! How exciting =D I can't wait to see how your quilt turns out =D
Congratulations!!! I'm due in March with baby #2. I hope you are feeling well. I've got my fabrics pulled and an idea what I want to do, but I'm haven't found the motivation to actually start a quilt for this little one. Can't wait to see what you make!!
Congratulations!! So happy for you! More reasons to make more of your beautiful quilts and hopefully we get to see!:)
Congratulations!! You must have some great summers to have three kids born in March ;) hahahaha
I love creepy ultrasounds, it just highlights how special babies are and how amazing the whole process is.
Take it easy,
Lucy x
Congratulations! My daughter's birthday is in March, so when my sons due date was March 1st my mom said you have to have him in February, so they don't have the same month for birthdays! He was born Feb. 28th!
Congratulations!!! How exiting and surely you will sew baby quilts and baby cloths!
Warm thoughts and sunny wishes from Greece! Teje
Congratulations to you and your family!
Awww, new baby!!! Congrats to your family :):)
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! the 3rd is the bonus! My best friend just found out she is pregnant with number 3 and she is 43! She is still in shock since she has a 3yr. and an 13 month old. I say better in your 40's than not at all!!! Can't wait to see the new quilt!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Can't wait hearing more about this and seeing all of the fun projects you'll make for baby #3. :)
CONGRATS! Can't wait to see the new baby's quilt! :)
Congratulations! What wonderful news!!! Wishing you all the best!
What happy news! Congrats!
Congratulations! We added baby #3 to our family in May. Your little one will bring so much joy.
Congrats to all of you! What a happy house you will have every March celebrating multiple birthdays. Again...Congrats!
Congrats! We have three grown kids, all 18 months apart. Wouldn't want it any other way!
YAY!!!!!congrats :) I have 3 and all of their b-days are within 30days of each other. Just remember cake can be frozen :) lol
-annabelle
Congratulations!! :0(
She looks just like you! Of course I am kidding. My daughter is also due in March. Must be something in the water.
Congratulations! I'm due with my second on March 17. My son's third birthday is 6 days after that. So I'm right there with you with the March birthdays. :-) I don't think your ultrasound pic is creepy. I think the really creepy ones are of the face. :-)
Congratulations to you and your family, there is nothing like a new baby to remind you of what matters most! I am a mom of 9...and really after 3 i could of have kept on going and then reality hit and I realized that it was not just a baby, but it was 18 more years of raising kids and so we quit. That said, I loved those years and every other phase of mothering too...beware they go so fast and then they are gone.
Congratulations! (And my sister has the exact same due date!)
Congratulations, Allison! We have several March birthdays also. Hope you are feeling well and please show the quilt...your things are always great!
Congratulations to you! My third child arrived last week. Things have definitely changed around here, but for the better. Of course starting out with twins kind of makes the third a little bit easier. ;) I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and I can't wait to see your quilt, I am sure it will be amazing!
FUN! My three boys are all born in February and you're right...you will be sick of cake! We have a huge birthday bash for everyone in between the birthdays. Be prepared for everyone to do backwards math on March minus 9 months :)
Congrats I am pregnant with my fifth and my due date is April 6. My fourth's due date was the 7th of April. So I could possibly have two kids with the exact birthday just three years a part- it'll be interesting to see what happens. All the best.
What a blessing! My family has three January birthdays. So the holiday season just seems to run from Thanksgiving to February. Very sick of cake by then!
Congratulations! March is a great month. My daughter and I were both born in March. Did you plan this timing? All 3 in March. A co-worker had 3 boys born in June. 2 on the same day 2 years apart and the 3rd one was born a year later and one day. They planned it that way and the 3rd one didn't cooperate momma said. ;o)
Congratulations! I couldn't talk the husband into a third :( Send the leftover cake to my house!
Wonderful news! Congratulations!
By the way, I love the peeks of color I see in your baby quilt beginnings.
Congrats! I too have 3 birthdays in March and yes, you will be sick of cake by the end! It's fun though!
Congratulations!
What fabulous news! My best advice for going from two to three...be ready to switch from man to man to zone defense. :)
Congratulations.....such happy news!
Congratulations and it is NOT a creepy picture at all.
Congratulations! It's a doddle 2/3 children, you're already in the zone so number 3 just fits right on in. We hardly noticed our third he just blended in with the rest of the chaos! And d'you know a more placid contented person I've yet to meet, so no worries (he's nearly 21 now)!
I'm not sure about that leaving your colour comfort zone, that is seriously scary! ♥
congrats. Your last one isn't very old is he? We had 6 in 11 years. Good on you. Look forward to seeing the quilt.
congrats!! I'm due the 21st (well, 19th by my sono) but I think we have the same doc!! :)
COngratulations! That is so exciting! 3. . . what an adventure!
Congrats to you!! 3 is fun, you learn how to be outnumbered :)
Encouragement from a perfect stranger: I found going from 2 to 3 kids WAY easier than going from 1 to 2.
I totally love your site and your quilts and your voice. Congratulations on your growing family!
Congratulations!! So excited for you and your family!
Congrats on your new addition. I am expecting #4 on March 12th :)
Congratulations!
So exciting! Congratulations!!!!
Mazel Tov!!! How exciting......wishing you and your family so much joy!!!
congrats!
shut the front door!
congratulations, that's awesome!
Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing the great news!! Praying everything goes well for you.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
Oh congrats! It will be wonderful once you get used to it!
Congratulations!! 3 gets easier a little while later....afterwards....but it will!! Promise...one with 3 boys....it will!
When I found out I was pregnant last time I was so happy and then I found out it would be a March bday and I cried our immediate family has 7!!! March birthdays!!!! No one looks forward to March or the weight loss after.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BABY !!!!!!!!!
It's wonderful being a mother of 3, do not know what you're going to have fun
Blessings to you
Congratulations! I have three little ones as well, and I am so glad that we decided to have three. Our kids are born in March, April, and May. I think the Spring is a wonderful time for birthdays!
Congrats! My first 3 are May babies and my last is April. It does make it a busy month to have so many birthdays in one month. Oh, our anniversary is in May also. So fun!
Awww, congratulations! Wonderful news! I have always been sorry I didn't have #3.
Congrats! I wish you every happiness and an enjoyable pregnancy too.
Absolutely thrilled for you & your family. Just love your website, patterns & especially you! Congrats on your wonderful news, Nancy
Congrats!! I love that 2012 the year for babies to be born. I hope to be joining in sometime soon! :)
Congratulations!
Oh how exciting for you. That's funny you're stacking them all into one month of the year that way.
My birthday is Jan 10th and my twins were born on Jan 15th.
My oldest son had his first child on Aug 29th 4 yrs ago and his 2nd child was just born 4 weeks ago on Aug 30th. lol
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your happy news!
Congrats!!! I have to say that going from 2 to 3 kids was easier than 1 to 2 for me! How exciting for you!!!
Congratulations!! I have 3 kids with birthdays in September so we have just gotten through another year of birthdays:) It was good when they were younger though as we could just have a huge "combined" party but they don't want to do that anymore.
Congratulations!!!
Hi Allison.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.I am also 4 months pregnant! I feel pretty tired and my job as school teacher spends almost all of my energy, so I have almost abandoned the patchwork.
I loved seeing your ultrasound. I wish you a peaceful and happy pregnancy.
Many kisses from Granada, Spain, from espiralcaracola.blogspot.com

JetBlue Unveils Reforms, But Investors Fret Over Service Troubles unveiled what he called the "JetBlue Customer Bill of Rights," basically a sliding scale of reimbursements for delayed flights.
The plan was couched in language that appears to be designed to preempt moves in Washington to create an industry-wide passenger bill of rights.
The reimbursements will apply retroactively to passengers delayed on Feb. 14 or after, according to a JetBlue statement..
Other reimbursements apply for flights that are late departing or otherwise delayed by factors within JetBlue's control..
Passengers and Wall Street analysts were critical of JetBlue, but hopeful the setback would lead to improvement.
"The marketplace is holding JetBlue accountable, and like competitors before them, the pounding will lead to positive change," said Kevin Mitchell, who represents the interests of
corporate travel managers as chairman of the Business Travel Coalition.
Merrill Lynch analyst Michael Linenberg cut his full year 2007 earnings forecast to 40 cents a share from 50 cents, but kept his "neutral" rating on the stock. Analysts are expecting
53 cents, on average, according to Reuters Estimates.
"These things happen in the airline industry," said Linenberg in a note to clients. "At the end of the day, customers will return to JetBlue."
Lawmakers Consider Passenger Rights Bill
In Washington, JetBlue and other carriers still face challenges. Last week Rep. Michael Thompson, a California Democrat, said he planned to introduce a bill that would address delayed flights, time on the tarmac, cancellations, and lost or damaged luggage.
One of Thompson's constituents, Kate Hanni, launched a drive for a passenger bill of rights after she was stranded on an AMR.

Obama to Wall Street: More Oversight Coming
Oversight of the financial system is going to be much more rigorous and will include steps such as higher capital requirements for large institutions, which are so deeply interconnected that the failure of one could bring about a failure of the entire financial system, President Barack Obama told CNBC Monday.
"We want to create some circuit breakers here," Obama said. "What we want to do is position our rules in such a way that you don't end up in a situation where your only choice is either financial meltdown on the one hand, or taxpayers having to engage in these huge bailouts."
Obama stressed that oversight is important to the financial system, despite the returned sense of normalcy that has surfaced lately. He worries, he said, that this normalcy could turn into complacency.
"If Washington does not provide the kind of regulatory oversight that's needed to make sure that we've got transparency, accountablity, clear rules of the road, then ironically what you may end up with is the government being even more meddlesome in the markets than it otherwise would have been."
In addition to speaking on the financial markets, Obama touched on a series of other topics:
- Health Care: The president said that two-thirds of the price tag associated with health care reform will be accounted for by cutting waste out of the system.
- No More Stimulus Funds: The stimulus program was designed to span two years, and he has a "strong inclination" not to create a second plan.
- China Trade Dispute: Obama stressed the importance of countries abiding by trade agreements and said he's confident the China dispute won't lead to a trade war.
- Afghanistan is Not Vietnam: The war against Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups remains a top priority, but he will monitor the dangers of overreach.
Earlier Monday — the one year anniversary of the Lehman Brothers failure — Obama addressed Wall Street on his plans for financial reform, and how big banks will no longer participate in "reckless behavior." He once again stressed his belief in the free market, saying he has "absolutely no interest in having the government maintaining the levels of intervention that we have right now in the financial markets."
On the issue of health care, Obama said that with expanded coverage, hospitals will be able to lower bills, as they'll no longer have to inflate costs to cover uninsured patients, he said. (See the video at left for the entire interview.)
Obama added that nothing else adds to the deficit as much as the rising cost of health care, and reforming the sector could have an immediate impact on lowering the country's debt.
The president said he will do everything in his power to avoid a second stimulus. He added that his administration developed the first plan to span two years because it knew the consumer would continue to be pinched, and he pointed to the positive signs that a recovery is close.
"Most folks believe that we've now turned the corner where we might actually start seeing some economic growth," he said. "We are focused on [the question of] how do we create jobs in this environment without adding to the deficit."
On the recent trade dispute with China, Obama said he still believes in trade agrements, but he also believes in enforcing the rules in these agreements.
While Obama said he wasn't surprised that China was upset, he said the two countries continue to have a strong relationship, and that he's confident that this misstep won't lead to a trade war.
As for the war in Afghanistan, Obama said it's still one of his primary goals to dismantle Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups that pose a threat to the US. Despite the war's unpopularity with many Americans, he said it's not fair to compare the situation to Vietnam.
"You have to learn lessons from history. On the other hand, each historical moment is different," he said. "The dangers of overreach and not having clear goals and not having strong support from the American people — those are all issues that I think about all the time."

Austerity Fueling Youth Unemployment: Labor Organization
Digital News Editor
Government spending cuts in developed countries are hurting job creation and exacerbating global youth unemployment, which remains close to the peak hit during the 2009 crisis, the International Labor Organization said on Tuesday.
The ILO warned that countries will have to step up measures aimed at first-time jobseekers to tackle the issue successfully.
“The austerity measures currently implemented in a wide range of developed economies bode ill for a quick recovery of youth labor markets,” the organization said in its “Global Employment Trends for Youth 2012” report.
“Macroeconomic and fiscal policies should include or enhance measures that support employment generation, bring about a sustained job recovery and finance the necessary investments in youth employment promotion,” it added.
The ILO expects youth unemployment to remain virtually unchanged in 2012 at 12.7 percent, compared to 12.6 percent in 2011.
“The global youth unemployment rate remains at least a full percentage point above its level in 2007,” the ILO said.
“Nearly 75 million youth are unemployed around the world, an increase of more than 4 million since 2007.”
Youth unemployment is “particularly pronounced” in the crisis-stricken European Union, the ILO said. Spain and Greece have recorded unemployment levels of over 50 percent among under those under 25.
Anti-austerity voices in Europe have grown stronger in recent months, and the recent election of a new French President who wants to rein in Germany’s desire for austerity policies has added another influential voice.
Developed economies, including the European Union have been hit hardest by the crisis and its aftermath, with youth unemployment up by 26.5 percent between 2008 and 2011, according to the ILO.
The 4.7 percentage point rise in the region’s unemployment rate was the largest in any region around the world.

The rule of the thumb is 10 - 25 x the rated the voltage.
As for te amps, it depends on the drivers. It's 3(motors) x the rated amps normaly but if the driver is based on a chopper (sort of current limiting) then it's 0.7 x 3 x 1.4 .
What drivers are you using ?

Two common emergency situations that pet owners should be equipped," said Stickney. ," said Stickney.
The first thing to do if your pet has been injured and is bleeding is to put pressure on the area to slow blood flow. Wounded pets may bite from pain, fear, or confusion so it is good to have a muzzle to use in this type of situation.
"Your pet might be your best friend, but when dogs are hurt they may not remember that," said Stickney. "If you have a big dog, I would also recommend that you have a dog stretcher. They make it much easier to move large injured animals."
Less severe accidents such as minor cuts and scrapes are common and can be handled much like you would treat yourself.
"Make sure that the cut is as clean as possible," said Stickney. "I would not recommend putting antibiotic cream anywhere your pet can lick it off as this just causes more germs to get in the wound. If the cut is on an area they can't lick than something like Neosporin will be fine. Elizabethan collars are useful for preventing a pet from gaining access to an injury."

"Even though we don't have the gradient or the dose they'd taken, we found the relationship to age," McGrath said. "What we think it suggests is that the adolescent brain is more vulnerable to drug abuse. Now, other studies have shown the more you smoke, the more regularly you use cannabis, the risk goes up."
McGrath likened marijuana risks to the dangers of tobacco smoking, and the decades and many studies it took for health officials to acknowledge the correlation between lung cancer and tobacco.
"From a public-health perspective, we need to educate young people that they might think cannabis is a safe drug to use, but the evidence shows it's not quite as safe as we thought."

(CNN) -- A Japanese carrier has revealed that it replaced faulty batteries on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet last year, as aviation authorities worldwide continue to ground the aircraft amid safety concerns over the devices.
In an interview with the New York Times, All Nippon Airways (ANA) said the aircraft's main battery failed to start normally on three occasions and had to be replaced along with the charger. In other cases, one battery showed an error reading and another, used to start the auxiliary power unit, failed. All the events occurred from May to December of last year, the report said.
Megumi Tezuka, spokeswoman for ANA, told CNN Wednesday that 10 lithium ion batteries on its 787s were replaced in 2012, with a low charge being reported on some of the devices on board the aircraft.
READ: 'No big problems' with battery maker
However, she said the problems were discovered during maintenance and therefore categorized as minor troubles. She added the airline was not required to report the faults to regulators.
The news comes as an inspection of the Japanese company that makes the batteries found no serious problem with the devices. U.S. and Japanese officials carried out a joint inspection at the facility in the city of Kyoto where GS Yuasa makes the batteries.
While investigators found several issues in quality control at the company, they did across the globe quickly followed suit.

Banega had put sixth-placed Valencia ahead in the 33rd minute after a failed clearance by Gerard Pique.
Roura paid tribute to goalkeeper Victor Valdes, who has been in fine form despite announcing he will not be extending his contract at the Camp Nou -- in particular denying Roberto Soldado a goal at the end.
"He's the best keeper for us. This Sunday he showed that he's at a fantastic level and he denied Valencia the winning goal. While he's with us, he'll help us," Roura said.
Barca could also have snatched a victory, but David Villa missed a golden opportunity to mark his 100th first-team appearance after coming on as a substitute.
Fourth-placed Malaga spurned the chance to close the gap on Real after drawing 1-1 with Real Zaragoza, but Betis stayed a point behind in fifth after Diego Costa's 61st-minute winner for Atletico.
Read: Napoli win keeps pressure on Juve
In Italy, Juventus moved three points clear at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 win at Chievo but the big story of the day was Balotelli's controversial debut for AC Milan.
The former Manchester City striker put his side 1-0 up with a left-foot volley after 25 minutes against Udinese, who leveled through Giampiero Pinzi.
However, Balotelli had the final say with a trademark penalty in the fourth minute of time added on after Stephan El Shaarawy went down under what looked like a fair tackle from Thomas Heurtaux.
It lifted Milan to fourth in the table on goal difference above city rivals Internazionale.
Balotelli's former club crashed to a 3-1 defeat at Siera, while third-placed Lazio lost 3-2 at Genoa.
In Germany, two-time defending champions Borussia Dortmund moved above Bayer Leverkusen into second place after winning their clash 3-2.
Dortmund led 2-0 in side 10 minutes but the home side leveled with two goals in four second-half minutes from midfielder Stefan Reinartz before Poland striker Robert Lewandowski struck the winner from close range just 60 seconds later.
Dortmund could afford to miss a penalty by Poland midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski, who had scored in the first half, but trail Bayern Munich by 12 points with 14 games to play.
Seventh-placed Borussia Monchengladbach's European hopes suffered a blow with a 2-1 defeat by fifth-from-bottom Nuremberg.

(CNN) -- For years, chocolate, jewelry and flowers have been Valentine's Day staples. However, many consumers are now giving gifts that not only say I love you, but also help those in need.
Recently, the concept of giving back through consuming gained traction with TOMS shoes, the company that makes the popular slip-on shoes and donates a pair to a child in need for every pair sold. TOMS seemed to open the door for other socially conscious brands, ones that make a difference through product sales.
Now, many entrepreneurs are opening businesses and nonprofit organizations that produce socially conscious goods. From backpacks that provide an education to jewelry that empowers women to crocheted goods that help people rise out of poverty, here are three socially conscious companies that are trying to change the world with their products.
Buy a backpack, fund an education in Tanzania
Matthew Clough traveled to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 2008.
"I always had this dream of climbing each continent's highest summit. One of my buddies called me and asked if I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. It was my first opportunity to check one of those seven summits off the list," says Clough.
Little did he know, reaching the peak would inspire him to pursue an even loftier goal.
Clough realized that his success on the mountain would have been impossible without the help of the porters who carried his extra gear, prepared his meals and ultimately guided him to the summit. As Clough descended the mountain, he discovered that his porters made less than a dollar a day -- an amount he later learned was not nearly enough to put a child in Tanzania through school.
After returning to the United States, Clough made it his mission to provide education opportunities for underserved communities. He started stone + cloth, a backpack company that donates part of its profits to support children's education in Tanzania.
"I decided to make backpacks to create a symbol linking my mountaineering trip with education. I kept thinking about how I used a backpack for school as a kid and wanted to create a tool for people to use to spread the word about educating those in need."
All stone + cloth backpacks are made in Los Angeles, with $10 from every backpack purchased going directly to its partner in Tanzania, the Knock Foundation.
Together with the Knock Foundation, stone + cloth supports education programs, including tuition assistance, school meals, and school supplies -- the learning essentials.
"By purchasing a backpack our customers carry an education," says Clough.
Beads of hope help women in Uganda
Kallie Dovel traveled to Uganda in the summer of 2007 to volunteer. She began working with women at an after-school program and quickly learned about the hardships they faced after years of conflict in the region. While getting to know the women, Dovel was introduced to jewelry they made from paper beads.
"They showed me this beautiful product but told me they weren't able to sell it. In Uganda [the jewelry made from paper beads] is looked down on," says Dovel.
The women at the school taught Dovel how to make the paper beads and asked her to sell the jewelry for them in the United States. Dovel agreed to purchase a box from them and try to sell some pieces when she got back home.
The jewelry sold quickly and inspired Dovel to team up with her friends Jessie Simonson, Anna Nelson, Brooke Hodges and Alli Swanson to create the company 31 Bits. In August of 2008, the five traveled to Uganda and started purchasing jewelry from six women, promising to employ them for at least two years. Dovel stayed in Uganda in order to oversee operations while Simonson, Nelson, Hodges and Swanson traveled back to the States to spread brand awareness. Through its success, 31 Bits has been able to hire more women and launch programs for its Ugandan employees that include English lessons, health education, and business development programs.
More than 100 Ugandan women now participate in 31 Bits programs, and the company reports it has raised more than $500,000 for women it employs through product sales. Programs provide participants the skills they need to support their families and communities, allowing the company "to empower women to be self-sufficient."
Crocheting empowers women in Uganda, Peru
Stewart Ramsey was inspired to create the nonprofit organization Krochet Kids International after traveling to Uganda in the summer of 2006. Ramsey met a group of refugees who for 20 years had depended on government and aid organizations for food and protection as a result of war.
When Ramsey returned, he brought with him a message that he passed on to his two childhood friends. The refugees he met were tired of handouts. They wanted to have jobs and provide for themselves. Ramsey's friends took this message to heart and the three decided to act.
Together, Ramsey, Kohl Crecelius and Travis Hartanov set out to provide the tools, knowledge and opportunities needed to enable Ugandan refugees to better their circumstances; but first they had to figure out how.
Years earlier, while still in high school, the three had made extra money crocheting hats. "[We] sold them to friends of ours who were skiers and snowboarders in the Northwest. And it was the one thing we knew that we could [teach] people and even provide a job for in the process," Crecelius explains.
The group traveled to Uganda in 2007 and taught 10 women to crochet. Ramsey, Crecelius and Hartanov sold the hats in the United States, providing income for the women they employed. The company's success has allowed for expansion of programs into Peru; they currently employ more than 150 women in the two countries. More than 250,000 hats have been sold, with each one personally signed by its creator. As a nonprofit, Krochet Kids International has been able to raise $5 million, which has gone to teaching and empowering the women in its programs and allowing them to rise above poverty.
Stone + cloth, 31 Bits, and Krochet Kids International provide three different ways consumers can show their love for that special someone while making the world a better place. By informing themselves about companies' social policies and programs, consumers can channel their purchasing power to make an impact.

LUXEMBOURG and DONGYING, China, July 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CNPV Solar Power SA, a public limited liability company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a leading integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products, today demonstrated additional details to the world's first true linear power warranty that they launched at Intersolar Munich on June 8th 2011.
Guaranteeing 7% more power than a "traditional power warranty", CNPV's new approach is a significant step in supporting the customer's need for increased financial security. The assurance specifically creates a definitive linear continuous underwriting of the power curve with provision for the module output to change by no more than 0.67% per year, after the first year of installation.
Power outputs from solar PV modules are normally warranted to maintain a minimum value with respect to time. The industry standard is a "two step" approach with trigger points at 10-12 years and 25 years. The net effect for the customer is two instances over 25 years that they can review the power output of 90% and 80% respectively and make a claim for compensation should the module be underperforming. The average power cover over the 25 year period is 84% of original power output of the module.
Mr. Zhang Shunfu, CNPV's CEO and Mr B. Veerraju Chaudary, CNPV's COO and CTO explained further; "Our customers need this. We now provide it. Our strategy has always been to develop the facets of our offering to provide true and tangible value. We believe this is another example of our actions supporting our policy to deliver. This guarantee is possible due to our capability performance, based on bona fide data and knowledge; it makes commercial sense for our partners and ourselves to continue to differentiate the CNPV Total Solutions from our competitors. Our 90% power warranty on the 'two step' model was already at the leading edge of what was available with a 12 year trigger point; this is still maintained within the new undertaking. The new linear warranty, in conjunction with our 10 year manufacturing warranty launched one year ago, provides customers with even greater security on their investment, leading to improved financial terms from financiers, and further penetration into their already successful markets."
As one European Solar Insurance expert expanded, "Brave? Not really. Their figures and logic are solid, and in my opinion a great development for both the solar industry and the customers. It sets a new 'bar' for all to achieve." (Name withheld for commercial confidentiality).
Specific details regarding the World's First True Linear Warranty can be obtained directly from CNPV and their Strategic Partners. Available on deliveries from Q3 of 2011, ensure you have the full facts before placing your next order. For additional clarity, the new warranty terms are improvements on the existing assurance, with no downgrading of fine detail to allow risk reduction and absolute figures for consideration.

Dear . Join CNU at Sustainable
Communities 2008, Sept. 26 in San Francisco
As top politicians call for more drilling and the Congress contemplates drawing
down the national oil reserve, we thought you might appreciate a more substantive
discussion on how to pull America away from its dependence on oil. Join us
at Sustainable Communities 2008 for a discussion on how to transform our cities
and towns into walkable, transit-supported neighborhoods.
Sustainable Communities 2008 will bring together leading innovators Sim Van
der Ryn, Paul Hawken, Peter Calthorpe, Stewart Brand, Jerry Brown, Jacky Grimshaw,
Judy Corbett and Peter Schwartz at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco
on September 26, 2008, for a rare one-day seminar on the past and future of
sustainable communities.
The incredible group of people featured at Sustainable Communities 2008 introduced
and advanced many of the innovations that formed the backbone of the green
building and sustainability movements beginning in the 1970s. They helped show
that environmentalism must extend beyond quick technological or temporary fixes
to encompass a comprehensive vision for human habitats -- sustainable cities
and towns.
Now it's becoming clear again that our future depends on designing communities
that help us overcome fossil fuel dependency and limit our global environmental
impact. And it's becoming just as clear that California can lead the nation
if it gets passage of SB375 legislation, implementation of AB32 and other key
measures right. Participants in Sustainable Communities 2008 are the ultimate
guides to the transformation we must make to move forward and thrive. Join
them for this event's lectures and important interactive afternoon session
devoted to the future of sustainable communities and the government policies
that will support them.
A special conference luncheon, included in the full registration or available
by separate ticket, will honor Sim Van der Ryn -- described by the New
York Times as "the intrepid pioneer of the eco-frontier" -- with a CNU
Athena Award, which is given to design and development leaders who laid the
foundation for the current rediscovery of urbanism and community sustainability.
Visit the website at cnu.org/sustainablecommunities08 and
register today to take advantage of the early registration member discount.

Bringing the soul of African through the pulsating sounds of the motherland to South Florida for the 2nd Annual Rhythms of Africa: Music Around the World – a free concert slated for the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale on October 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The concert, under the direction of Willie Stewart, who played percussion for 23 years with the legendary band – Third World, will describe the movement of ancient rhythms sprung from the souls of vibrant cultures and carried from Africa to the Caribbean, South America and the New World. This theatrical, inspirational and educational production will unite the entire community in a stirring celebration of music.
Presented by Willie Stewart's Embrace Music Foundation, this musical odyssey features at-risk youth from Lauderdale Lakes Educational Complex's Smart School Charter Middle and Eagle Charter Academy who find inspiration and confidence working alongside more than a dozen professional musicians.
Willie believes in sharing the power of the Arts with children, which allows them to discover who they are and how they impact the world in which they live.
Charlie Sheen Roasted!
The embattled former Two and a Half Men star was the butt of all the jokes in a Roast of Charlie Sheen on Comedy Central. Stars from Private Practice's Kate Walsh to former heavy weight champ Mike Tyson delivered a thrashing to Sheen, who sat tight and listened as they took their best shots. Most of what they said cannot be repeated in this forum, but here's a line of what Kate Walsh had to say: "Despite all those years of abusing your lungs, your kidneys, your liver, the only thing you've had removed is your kids." The roast took place the same night as the season premier of Two and a Half Men with new star Ashton Kutcher. Sheen's Roast was the most-watched show in franchise history, drawing 6.4 million total viewers and delivering a 4.5 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. Looks like Charlie Sheen has won!
Got 2 luv Sean Paul!
You've got to love Sean Paul and his catchy tunes that might not hit the spot in his homeland, but get him worldwide props. Got 2 Luv U, his latest tune featuring Alexis Jordan which debuted in June, now has some sweet visuals. Sean Paul with his mohawk in all its glory, sings to a sexy girl who dances seductively in front of him in a hotel room. Sean Paul says he chose Jordon since, "I was looking for a girl to sing the hook that was not very fully known by everybody." He said, "I have been following her; she's big in Europe and Australia so when the option presented itself I was like, 'Oh yeah, amazing!' I've never really met her. She's about to be a lot bigger in the States. I think the music she's doing in the States is about to translate well."
U.S. fans should thank Uncle Sam for re-issuing the visas of dancehall artistes Mavado and Beenie Man who both took New York by storm early this month. The two were among the many Jamaican artistes whose visas were revoked by the U.S. Embassy during last year's Christopher "Dudus" Coke extradition debacle.
Mavado, in one of his first performances in the U.S. since getting back his visa, thrilled fans at the Roy Wilkins Park in Queens, New York for the Reggae Rhythm and Blues Festival recently.
Beenie Man, who had not yet gotten his work permit, could not perform, but accepted an award from the event organizers. The audience sang along as clips of the artiste were shown.
U.S. Congresswoman Yvette Clarke told Beenie Man, "You are the woman dem sugar man and we welcome you back to USA!" She said, "You have been an outstanding performer and you have made Jamaicans proud."
As always, a smiling Beenie Man expressed his thanks for the award, but said although he couldn't sing he had a "surprise fi unuh." He then introduced Khago to the stage for an impromptu performance. The audience rocked to songs like Nah Sell Out Mi Fren Dem and Blood A Boil, as Beenie Man showed off his cool moves.

SYRACUSE -- It's official, Orange Fans.
This Saturday's basketball game against Georgetown at the Dome has sold out.
According to the Syracuse University Athletics website, 35,012 tickets have been sold to this weekend's game. It will be the last Big East game between the long-time rivals, as Syracuse prepares to join the Atlantic Coast Conference later this year. It will also set a new record for an on-campus college basketball crowd.
According to SU, the game will mark the 72nd time the Dome has welcomed a crowd greater than 30,000 for a Syracuse basketball game. Over 15 of those games have been against the Hoyas. In 2010, 34,616 fans packed the Dome to watch the Orange take on Villanova, in what was a sold out game. Since then, Dome officials say they have been able to find and add seats to make room for more fans.
The game will be the 4pm game featured on CBS. Former Orange basketball star Carmelo Anthony will have his jersey retired during the game.
SU students looking for prime seats to Saturday's game have already started camping out at the Carrier Dome.

Onondaga County may soon join a list of other counties from across the state calling for a repeal of the governor's new gun law.
Republican County legislator Kevin Holmquist says the law was passed with more emotion than facts. He plans to introduce the resolution at the next county legislature meeting which is scheduled for March 5.
Should Onondaga County get on board? This was the subject of our Talk Tonight on NBC3 at 5pm.

SYRACUSE --
The Rosamond Gifford Zoo announced the hatching of a female Humboldt penguin chick on Thursday.
Onondaga County Executive Joanne M. Mahoney joined the zoo staff at a news conference introducing the first penguin hatching of the year. She invited first graders from All Saints Elementary and children at the zoo to select the chick’s name from three options from the zoo staff.
Three options were: Elisa, Francisca and Magdelena. The children chose to name the penguin chick Magdelena, which translates to Maggie into English.
The zoo says it selected potential Hispanic names to reflect the penguins’ Latin American origins.
"Our zoo continues to play an important role in conserving this endangered species," said Ted Fox, zoo director. "Penguins from our colony will travel to other zoos and aquariums to ensure that our efforts continue to populate the species."
Humboldt penguins are named after the Humboldt Current, according to the zoo, which is a cold nutrient-rich ocean current that flows along the west coast of South America. They are endangered with only 12,000 to 30,000 remaining in the wild.
There are currently 34 penguins in the colony at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. There were five hatchings at the zoo last year.

International Student Support
We live in a global village.
Currently 14% of the student body are international students, and COA boasts alumni from 32 different countries in addition to all 50 of our own United States. This diversity of language, culture, belief system, mores and history lends a richness and depth to the living and learning environment of COA.
Continuing recruitment of international students remains a clear commitment of the College. This effort begins with an enormous head start: College of the Atlantic is one of the original pilot institutions for the Davis United World College Program. The Davis UWC program is a major philanthropic force in promoting international understanding. The Davis UWC program is committed to building cross-cultural understanding across their campuses and around the globe in the 21st century. Through the generosity of Shelby and Gale Davis, this remarkable initiative has become the world’s largest privately funded international scholarship program for undergraduate education.
COA has received a lead pledge of $6M to continue this program and would like to endow an additional $2M in support for these remarkable students. Support this effort with a gift to the Annual Fund or by supporting international student scholarship.
Your Gift at Work
"It’s not easy to find a school with a community as caring and kind as that of COA. I am planning to focus on science and health courses because I am interested in pursuing medicine as my future field of career."

Establish.
Pick an app that motivates you. No matter what your fitness interests are, there's an app for you: Pick your pleasure ... yoga, running, weights or cardio, and you can find apps that inspire and motivate you with workout ideas and tips. If you’re also looking to watch your food intake, there are a myriad of apps that can help you keep track of what you’re eating each day.
Freshen up your workout wardrobe. As you refresh your exercise routine, you’ll go through workout gear more quickly than before. Treat yourself by buying yourself some new exercise gear that will benefit your routine and make sure you maintain it. One way to provide amazing freshness for your used active wear is to wash it in Downy Unstopables, an in-wash scent booster. The scent lasts for up to 12 weeks in storage, which makes Downy Unstopables perfect for gym clothes and workout towels as it keeps them fresh no matter when they’re pulled out of storage..
Join an exercise group or find a workout partner. Working out alone in a gym is not for everyone. Exercisers should choose an activity they enjoy doing, that keeps them excited and can be sustained over a long period of time. Additionally, having a support system to motivate you will help you stick with the program and see long-term results – find a group or buddy who has similar goals to you.
With every new obstacle, find alternatives that will bring you closer to attaining your goal. Never give up. It's a new year, and it’s time to get moving.

WEST MADISON — It was said over and over again. Scott High School’s Allyson Johnson is not just a great girls’ softball player, but she is a great student, leader and role model in her school and in her community.
“West Liberty is lucky to get Allyson,” said Josh Brumfield, Vice Principal and athletic director at Scott. “Not only is she a great softball player, but she is great student and person as well.”
There is nothing more exciting for a coach than to see one of their players move on to the next level.
“We are so proud of Allyson,” said her assistant coach Rodney Miller. “We have come a long way with a lot of hard work.”
Miller said it all started back in the old A.S.A. league, when Allyson was only 6 years old.
“She won more championship back then than just about anyone,” Miller recalled. “She is a 6-time champion in A.S.A.”
Allyson’s travel ball coach Ronnie Burdette with the West Virginia Wild Ones and his wife, Bev, were in attendance, as well as her Lady Skyhawk teammates, coaches, school officials, family and friends.
“She has the whole package as an athlete,” said Bev Burdette. “But she is also a super, all-around, good kid. We know that she is going to go far in life.”
Madison Middle School vice principal A.B. Brown also spoke about his experience with Allyson.
“We are just so proud of Allyson,” Brown said. “She has worked hard for this and we love her and wish her the best.”
Scott girls’ softball head coach D.A. Harless said the first time he saw Allyson she was only 6 years old.
“He comes this little cotton-top on the field with her catcher’s helmet on sideways, her chest protector and shin guards covering her body and she was dragging along saying, ‘I’m hot…I don’t want to play,’” Harless recalled. “We said, ‘Who is that kid?’ Someone said that is P.J. and Bonnie’s daughter. I didn’t think she was going to make it as a softball player, but boy did she prove us wrong.”
Harless said Allyson is not only a role model to her teammates and other students, but to his own daughter as well.
“My daughter hangs out with Allyson a lot and she even acts like her a lot on and off the field,” he said. “I am so proud of Allyson. The hard work she has put in since she was a little girl has paid off. I feel like she looks at me as a part of her family and I do her as well.”
Harless said Allyson’s parents deserve so much credit for their daughter’s success on and off the field.
“I want to thank everyone that came today,” Allyson’s mother Bonnie Johnson said. “You don’t know how special all of you are to us. We would not be here without all of you. We are a softball family and we love all of you.”
Bonnie Johnson said just within the last few months she has noticed her daughter becoming an adult.
“I love her dearly and I wish her all the happiness in the world, while making all of her dreams come true,” she said.
Then, in a very emotional moment, Allyson’s mother spoke of a belt her daughter was wearing and a prayer cloth her daughter was carrying at the ceremony.
“She is wearing the belt her late-grandfather Joe Johnson got from Mexico and she also has a prayer cloth that my late mother gave her long ago,” Bonnie Johnson said. “She keeps this prayer cloth with her most of the time and we always remember that every day is special. So don’t let a day go by without telling the people you love that you care about them, because one day they may not be here.”
After that, a tearful father tried to speak about his daughter.
“There is not a lot I can say after that,” P.J. Johnson, Allyson’s father, said. “It’s been a great ride.”
Bonnie Johnson said through her daughter, she and her husband have been able to travel to places they otherwise would not have been.
“It’s so wonderful to make so many new friends and go so many places,” she said.
Bonnie Johnson also told a story of Allyson’s other grandmother running into a woman that knew Allyson.
“She said when they were talking about the girl that plays for the Scott girls’ softball team the woman said, ‘Are you talking about Pig?’”
Pig is Allyson’s nickname, and many around the state that know about Scott High’s star softball player don’t know her real name.
“They just know her by the name Pig,” her mother said with a laugh. “We think that’s really funny.”
Allyson said when she was about 7 years old, her paw-paw came to see her pitch at an A.S.A. League game.
“It was the first game he had come to and at the end he said, ‘That’ll do, that’ll do little pig,’ from the movie ‘Babe,’” Allyson recalled. “My dad thought it was funny and the nickname stuck.”
Allyson said she began softball as a catcher, then a pitcher, then played centerfield before moving to shortstop where she has played most of her high school career.
Her high school and travel career stats show her to be a great hitter. Last year, her batting average was .500 with an on base percentage of .672. She hit 16 doubles, 3 triples, 4 homeruns and drove in 28.
In 2011, she was named 1st team All Cardinal Conference and All Academic team, All State Honorable Mention and awarded the high school team’s captain.
In 2012, she was again named All State Honorable Mention and 1st team All Cardinal Conference and All Academic team and she didn’t strike out in the entire season.
Allyson will be on the field this spring for her senior year and she has high expectations.
“I think we are going to do everything that we want, which is going to the state championship game and winning it,” she said.
Allyson has a maturity level not seen in many high school teens today.
“I don’t do any illegal things or party or stuff my mom and dad would not be proud of,” she said. “I know that my teammates and friends look to me as a role model and leader and that is something I don’t take lightly. I want to be a good example for them and help them in any way I can.”
Allyson was also recruited by West Virginia State, Fairmont, Radford U in Va., and Glenville.
“I picked West Liberty because it seem very family-oriented,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that I was really, really wanted and they made me feel that way.”
Allyson said she will be majoring in criminal justice/pre-law.
“I am either going to become a lawyer, or I am going to try to become a detective and move into the U.S. Secret Service one day,” she said.
After Allyson thanked everyone for attending the ceremony and finished speaking, her assistant coach Rodney Miller kissed her on the head and said, “That’ll do, that’ll do little pig.”

It also feels good to do some writing. Nice to recap a long week. Long, I tell you. The sickness has been very slow to depart. Truth be told, none of us are back to our normal selves quite yet. I went to the doctor again this week only to find out my ear infection had moved into a sinus infection. Another dose of antibiotics and I'm feeling nearly tip top shape. Sickness, parenting, and general life-living don't agree well with me...at least not when occurring all at the same time.
I have had a lot of thoughts brewing in my head lately. Thoughts regarding my love for chocolate, my approaching 30th birthday, social justice, and the love of my new haircut. Yeah. So rest assured, though I lay quiet on the blog for 8 days, I haven't stopped thinking and processing. It just so happens that thinking on these topics doesn't always equate into me sitting down and working them out on the computer. Hopefully you'll see these posts soon. They are, after all, nearly half-written in my mind already.
First off there is the speech explosion. She's experimenting with sounds, words, and sentences. Two-word sentences like: Hi, Mom. Bye, Dad. Hello, shoes. And a kiss and hug for each of these things. She's outrageously affectionate...towards family, friends, complete strangers, and inanimate objects. The other day she blew a kiss to a puddle that had collected after recent rainfall. Yes, she teaches me a thing or two about love and life. I'm grateful for the lessons.
I'm headed on the road tomorrow to visit my parents for a week and spend time with my soon-to-be-bride sister. I'll be taking the laptop in the hopes that I can work out some of those previously mentioned thoughts floating around in my head. Until then, I'm going to turn off the computer, drink some more tea, and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
8 oz lump blue crab
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup finely shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
2 teaspoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1 sheet puff pastry Sheets, thawed
juice and zest of one lemon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl. Stir the crabmeat, cream cheese, onions, Gouda cheese, sour cream, seafood seasoning, celery seed and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the crab mixture on the pastry to within 1 1/2 inches of the edge. Starting at a short side, roll up like a jelly roll..
This looks so good - of course, I'm partial to anything with lump blue crab! I might have to make something like this for my next get-together (though no promises I'd be sharing with any of my guests!)
Rachel,
This is one I am going to have to try - a lovely addition to a brunch menu!
Wow this looks amazing! I love the crab in this. Will definitely have to try!
But you did do something about it! Shame on Pepperidge Farm and may the food bloggers beware! Love the recipe.
Wow.. this sounds fantastic!!!! I am going to add this to my Easter brunch menu.
Have a great week.
I went to the PF web site and couldn't find your recipe. Maybe I just didn't know where to look. Anyway, this looks like a great recipe and I can’t wait to try it. I will use Dungenes crab since I live on the west coast, but everything else the same for a brunch comming up. Sorry about the "stuff".
Yummm.... It looks so great and I bet it tastes even better. I am stumbling this post :-). Will be following your blog from now on :-)
it definitely credits the recipe to you on their website. i just checked...
Chloe
Yes, they have linked to me now that I contacted them about it and blogged about it. They should have done it from the beginning.

The in.
An interface describes the behavior or capabilities of a class without committing to a particular implementation. It represents a contract between a provider and its users, defining what it's required from each implementer, but only in terms of the services they must provide, no matter how they manage to do it.
In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of interfaces, and when and how to use it to improve your design, the following MSDN article might be of great help. It's addressed to Visual Basic users switching to VB.NET, but it does a very good job at explaining the basic ideas, which apply to any object oriented language anyway., which's go one step at a time.
First, some macros are defined in a header file, which you'll probably want to include in your precompiled headers:
//
// CppInterfaces.h
//
#define Interface class
#define DeclareInterface(name) Interface name { \
public: \
virtual ~name() {}
#define DeclareBasedInterface(name, base) class name : public base { \
public: \
virtual ~name() {}
#define EndInterface };
#define implements public are now able to use interfaces in C++. However, as they aren't directly supported in the language, you are supposed to follow some rules, which can't be automatically enforced at compilation time. After all, all that the compiler can see is the use of plain old multiple inheritance and abstract base classes. Here are the rules you need to follow, along with some recommendations:
CFrameWnd
CWnd
CBitmapButton
CButton
YourDialog
CDialog
class Foo : public BasicFoo
IBar
IOther
IWhatever
virtual
abstract
DeclareBasedInterface()
dynamic_cast
When I posted about the above technique in my recently created blog, one of the readers expressed some concerns in the following terms:
DeclareBasedInterface:
BarType in order to avoid this situation; they ensure every class implementing an interface will also have a virtual destructor.
delete pBar
Foo
Now, if.
EndInterface
Interface
implements
class
public
Foo : public IBar
Foo implements IB:
__interface
pure virtual
static
And they note: “A C++ class or struct could be implemented with these rules, but __interface enforces them.” So, if you are not worried by portability, you could use this extension and have the compiler enforce what needs to be enforced, right? Wrong.
struct, which call delete on themselves when the count reaches zero.
delete
Couldn’t we just use __interface in the DeclareInterface macro definition, so as to have the best of both worlds? Hmm..., read again the definition: “cannot contain constructors, destructors, or operators”. This led me to initially think it wasn't possible, and even to say that while __interface might be useful for COM interfaces, it was neither intended nor suitable for the general purpose interfaces we are discussing here. Fortunately, that's not the end of the story. (i.e.: IBar) twice, first for DeclareInterface(), and then for EndInterface(). This introduces an always undesired redundancy, which made me struggle for a while trying to eliminate, but failed. If anyone finds a way to define the macros so as to avoid requiring the same name twice, please let me know.
DeclareInterface()
EndInterface()
On the other hand, provided you don’t mind sacrificing portability to anything but MS compilers starting from VS7, the new macros have many advantages over their predecessors, simply because every requirement for an interface (only pure virtual methods, no data members, virtual destructor for implementing classes) is now automatically enforced. You don’t even need to explicitly declare interface methods as virtual or pure virtual (“= 0”), although the compiler won’t complain if you do so.
Before closing this article, I’d like to include some links to related resources, which, in order to make it support interfaces without virtual functions. I have no idea whether this proposal was actually presented or considered by the standard committee.
Dr. Dobb's Journal August 1998, includes an article by Fred Wild, Keeping interfaces and implementations separate, which discusses some ways to do so in C++ code.
In the comments after my first submission, user Nemanja Trifunovic pointed me to another alternative for static interfaces, the Boost Interface Library[^].
There's a very interesting interview to Scott Meyers, made by Bill Venners on December 2002, in which they discuss the topic of interfaces in C++.
Last but not the least, the father of C++ Bjarne Stroustrup himself, made interesting comments about interfaces and C++ in an interview by Bill Venners on November

This article describes how the CLR locates and binds assemblies and how to change the default behavior when needed (e.g. in the deployment stage).
Any developer and system administrator who deals with .NET assemblies, especially commercial applications, must be familiar with these topics. This knowledge is the best way to plan for service packs, upgrades and hot fixes as they come along.
The .NET Framework is loaded (almost inflated) with a bunch of terms and features related to assembly deployment, locating and binding.
Here is a short list:
The article is not at the beginner level, readers with basic knowledge in configuration files and assembly structure can also benefit from it right in the first reading.
The CLR – Common Language Runtime – is responsible for the process of locating and binding referenced assemblies. Locating is the process of finding the correct assembly in the hard disk. Binding is the process of loading the assembly in the application address space.
The quest begins when the JIT encounters user defined types that need to be resolved. Then the CLR tries to detect where the type definition is:
This article deals with the third option.
The CLR moves from stage to stage, as described above, in order to determine the exact assembly to load. The reason for this flow is that each stage might override the information in the previous stage. Although, it might look like a cry out redundancy it is really necessary, because of the need to make changes in the deployment files after installation. For example, when installing a Service Pack, the system administrator would like to keep the previous installation up and running. This need requires changes in the locating and the binding process of new assemblies with new versions.
The CLR checks the App.config after the manifest check. In case the referenced assembly version is overridden the App.config setting has the upper hand.
The CLR checks for the publisher policy file after the App.config check. Publisher policy files are deployed as part of an update, hot fix or service pack. A publisher policy file is used when the updated shared/public assembly has a new version (that it is different from the assembly's manifest). The setting in the publisher policy file has the upper hand unless the App.config file sets the safe mode (<PUBLISHERPOLICY apply= "no">).
<PUBLISHERPOLICY apply= "no">
The CLR checks in the machine.config file after the publisher policy file check. The file is shared by all .NET applications on the machine. In case of a version difference, the setting in the Machine.config has the upper hand.
The CLR checks if the assembly is already loaded (due to previous code execution statements). If found the CLR uses it. At first it looks like the fox in Redmond has a design bug - why not checking the assembly in the previous loaded assembly list in the first stage? The reason for that is the need to examine first which version is required.
If not found in stage 2 and the manifest implies that the assembly is strongly named, the CLR checks the GAC. If exists, the GAC has the upper hand.
The prior stages inform the CLR what is the required assembly version. In this stage, the CLR attempts to find and load the assembly.
If the Codebase tag is defined in the application configuration file, the CLR checks only the defined location. If the assembly is not in the given URL, the probing process is terminated.
Codebase
In case there is no Codebase tag in the configuration file or if the attempt to retrieve the file from the URL fails, the CLR starts the Probing process.
Search in the application directory and then in the subdirectories with the assembly name.
[application base] / [assembly name].dll
[application base] / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll
If the referenced assembly has a culture definition then the CLR checks in the following sub-directories:
[application base] / [culture] / [assembly name].dll
[application base] / [culture] / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll
The CLR also check in BinPath.
Tip: The CLR terminates the probing process as soon as the reference assembly is found (name search only). In case the assembly is correct - all is well - else the binding fails (Filenotfound exception raised).
Filenotfound
In static loading, the CLR checks for assemblies in the assembly manifest. The list of statically referenced assemblies is entered to the file in the build process. In dynamic loading, the CLR is introduced to the assembly in run time. This feature is wrapped up in the System.Reflection assembly, which exposes methods like Assembly.Load (similar to the LoadLibrary function).
System.Reflection
Assembly.Load
LoadLibrary
Shared assemblies are not deployed in the same directory of the application that uses them. The CLR will not complain if you do, but it is a deployment error to copy the shared assembly in one of the base application's directory and direct others to it. Typically shared assemblies are registered in the GAC or in a share directory (the application that uses them needs to know about).
The main difference between the two is that a strongly named assembly contains a public token. The token uniquely identifies the assembly. It is required for shared assemblies that are installed in the GAC. The reason for that is the slight chance that some developer creates an assembly with the same name, culture and version as one that happens to be installed in the same PC. Another difference (implied from the previous) is that strong name assemblies can be deployed privately and publicly (GAC) whereas weakly named assemblies can only be deployed privately.
Tip: Do not copy the assembly to the GAC folder ([windows main folder]\assembly). The assembly must be registered in the GAC. Use the GacUtil via the .NET command prompt or drag and drop the assembly to the GAC window.
A shared assembly that is copied outside the application base directory must be strongly named but is not required to be installed in the GAC. In this case the shared assembly location must be specified in the configuration file using the Codebase tag. Application suites can create a shared folder and copy the shared assemblies to it.
The following is a list of reasons that helps to decide when to use the GAC instead of a proprietary shared folder:
This is one of the two ways to define an assembly location. The instruction is done in a configuration file. You can specify only subdirectories under the application base directory (see snippet).
This is one of the two ways to define an assembly location. The CLR, first checks the assembly version, then searches for an override CodeBase definition in the configuration file. The version attribute is required, only, for strong named assemblies. For weakly named assemblies the href attribute must be assigned, only, to a subdirectory. This URL can refer to a directory on the user's hard disk or to a Web address. In the case of a Web address, the CLR will automatically download the file and store it in the user's download cache (a subdirectory under <Documents and Settings>\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\Assembly). When referenced in the future, the CLR will load the assembly from this directory rather than access the URL. The CodeBase tag should only be defined in the machine configuration or publisher policy files that also redirect the assembly version (see snippet).
CodeBase
href
This feature enables the binding of a certain assembly to a different file version and it is very useful for service pack installations. Usually the redirect is done to a GAC registered assembly. The GAC allows us to install the same assembly with different versions. The CLR checks the configuration file and redirects the binding accordingly (see snippet).
The DEVPATH is nice feature for the development stage. The feature eases the development life cycle by delaying the decisions in regards to the deployment stage.
DEVPATH
The developer can create a DEVPATH environment variable that points to the build output directory for the assembly. Follow these steps to enjoy this feature:
The CLR searches for the referenced assemblies in the path described in the DEVPATH environment variable.
path
Example: add the following statement above the </CONFIGURATION> tag.
</CONFIGURATION>
</configuration>
<runtime>
<developmentMode developerInstallation="true"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
The snippets below are related to the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf?8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas?microsoft?com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath=" ProductCabinet" />
</assemblyBinding>

</configuration>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf?8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas?microsoft?com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<codeBase version="1.0.0.0"
href= ":\ MyTest\ProductCabinet ReferencedFile.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf?8" ?>
<configuration>

culture="en-us" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0"

</dependentAssembly>
<publisherPolicy apply="no">
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
"The Assembly Binding Log Viewer displays details for failed assembly binds. This information helps you" (MSDN)
TypeLoadException
Tip: make sure you set the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog registry value to 1 (the value is a DWORD).
DWORD
NET Framework Configuration allows you to configure assemblies, remoting services, and code access security policy specifics. (MSDN)
The Process of loading and binding .NET assemblies is complex. Nevertheless, it is an important, inevitable, subject to know what it is going on under the scenes. The familiarity with this process is the only good way to start preparing for deployment and to answer some important questions like:

StereoLithography(StL) is something that is widely used in CAD/CAM, RapidPrototyping etc. The concept is that any surface or solid is exported to StL format by data exchange packages after they are modeled in commercial CAD packages. This data consists of triangulated facets that approximate the surface of the solid. No topological or geometric information is exported. The surface is subdivided into small triangles. The approximation uses chordal deflection for curved surfaces to smoothen the surface. More the smoothening required, more number of smaller triangles are generated by subdivision resulting in larger size of data file. Now, along with triangles, their facet normals are also generated. The data is written both in ASCII and binary formats. The data in ASCII is written like this:
facet normal 0.000000e+000 -1.000000e+000 0.000000e+000
outer loop
vertex -1.499999e+002 -1.000000e+002 0.000000e+000
vertex -1.500000e+002 -1.000000e+002 0.000000e+000
vertex -1.500000e+002 -1.000000e+002 -5.000000e+001
endloop
endfacet
The facet normal tells the three components of the facet normal followed by three vertices of one triangle, enclosed by the statements.
facet normal
facet normal 0.000000e+000 -1.000000e+000 0.000000e+000
and
endfacet
Thus all the triangles are written one after the other. This data can be then used as input for generating Rapid Prototype models as well as for NC toolpath generation. The Normal data helps to compute tool offsets etc.
Here, for displaying the data in the OpenGL viewer, I have written the code for reading the data and displaying each triangle using glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES) and the normals for lighting. The viewer and geometry coding is same as my earlier project CadSurf. You can read as many StL (ASCII only) files into the viewer zoom, pan, rotate the views, select the objects, change attributes like color and material. The viewer provides object oriented context menus. I.e., when you click the right mouse button in the view with no active selection, you get a context menu for setting the viewer attributes, whereas with StL object selected, you get menu for the object attributes. Some sample StL data is also provided in the Data folder of the project.
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES)

No one knows why my husband’s grandfather (right) and his brother were dressed up as cowboys in the first photo. His grandfather did tell my husband how hard times were in England in the early 1900s and that’s why he and his brothers came to America and maybe they were just happy to be here! There’s also a family story about how they first went through immigration. Apparently you needed to show that you had $50.00. One brother showed officials the money, then secretly passed it behind his back to the next brother, etc. The second picture shows the three brothers: Phil, Sam, and Jack. Ya gotta love Uncle Phil’s shoes! Both of these photos are postcards. The last photo is that of Jack’s sons, the older one being my husband’s father, taken around 1922. They don’t look very excited about being on horseback.

My mom took me to a arts & crafts fair featuring all varieties and mediums of local and regional artists. I had work for pops all summer and had a nice little chunk of change by his birthday. I had noticed that he was very interested in the artwork from a Native American could live near Tahlequah Okla. so we headed to that booth. Needless to say it didn't take long to realize I couldn't afford his work so sadly we kept walking. I was about to give up when my mom noticed some woodcarvings in a booth near the exit. Even this small boot wasn't cheap, but I explained my situation and the artist was willing to cut me a break. My dad's not big on words and tries to keep his emotions in check, but even Helen Keller could tell he was happy with my present. Funny how you remember those little unspoken moments.

9 Free Apps for the Holiday Season!
‘Tis the season to be “Appy”! The holiday season is fast approaching and as you finish last minute shopping and decking the halls we would like to take this opportunity to remind you that technology can play a big role in enhancing the festive season with your family and friends! Do any of you have that relative who sits in the corner on their smartphone while ignoring the rest of the family?! Well instead of Cousin Timmy playing Angry birds in a solo session, encourage him to download one or more of these apps that will create conversation, laughter, sharing and so much more with the whole family! We have also included apps that will help you to keep your waist-line in check, impress your relatives, find your way to gas and food and other helpful apps!
9 Apps for the Holiday Season (In no particular order!)
No More Socks: The Christmas List Genius
This handy little app will help you get your holiday shopping organized! This app allows you to organize all of the people on your shopping list and your gift-buying budget. The app also helps you keep track of all of your holiday events and gives you gift suggestions from other users. This app is also good for all year round: keep track of friends and family birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions!
Want to impress your relatives with your amazing cooking skills and culinary delights?! Well look no further than the foodgawker app. This app displays beautiful photos and recipes from cooking blogs around the world. Browse and search for recipes that will tantalize your guest’s taste buds! Think outside the turkey this Christmas and shake it up with inspired recipes from around the globe! Don’t forget dessert, the pictures on this app alone will having you asking for second helpings!
If you are culinarily challenged or just feel like relaxing and leaving the cooking to the experts, then look no further than Urban Spoon. This app will help you find restaurants in your area based on your GPS location. You can also filter your search by neighborhood, cuisine or price! If any of you have ever watched Mrs. Doubtfire you could take a page from “her” book and get your food to go, dish it up on your own serving dishes, splash some water and flour on your face and take credit as your friends and family marvel at your fine-cooking skills!
If you are in Canada and planning to visit relatives across the country then you will need to download this handy app that will help you locate gas, snacks and groceries on your cross-country journey. Using your GPS location this app will show you the locations of the nearest gar bars and food stores and give you directions. Whether you are low on gas or grandma phoned you and said to pick up some cranberry sauce before you arrive, you can rest assured that this app will guide you to the nearest Co-op location!
Diet & Food Tracker – SparkPeople
If you, like many of us, tend to over indulge in the holiday food, snacks and drinks and your main physically activity over the holiday season includes lifting more turkey to your mouth (no that does not count as 40 “bicep curls!) then you may want to consider downloading a diet tracker app such as SparkPeople! This sensible app allows you to track your daily calories and encourages you to add daily physical activity to counteract that holiday bulge. Your clothes will thank you once the holiday season is over: instead of shouting out “My pants shrunk!” once the holiday season is over you can thank SparkPeople for keeping you on track!
Make sure to capture those precious holiday moments with a photo-capturing app like Instagram! Instagram not only captures your beautiful family moments but also allows you to customize your photos with beautiful filtered effects. Once you are satisfied with your works of art you can share them with your social networks over Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare and Posterous.
Undoubtedly when you are taking all of these great holiday photos of your friends and family they will want to have copies of the photos as well! Instead of laboriously emailing them the snapshots, you can use Bump, which will allow you to share photos from your device to their device! The app also allows you to bump personal contact information so you can stay connected with your newly-introduced, second-cousin Martin! The greatest part about this app is you can share between Android and iOS users can share between devices!
This fun little app scans a person or their fingerprint to determine if the person has been “Naughty” or “Nice” this year! Hopefully Santa will still visit your house even if you have a few “naughty” ratings!
This app is not only great for the kids but is guaranteed to get even the adults laughing! Speak to Santa and he will repeat what you say in his jolly voice! We were impressed with this app because not only does it include cute graphics and animations but it allows you to choose a “child’s mode”, create a custom postcard that you can share with your social networks, and many other fun little functions that will get people laughing and sharing.
Those are just a few of the great apps that will hopefully enhance your Holiday Season! If you have any other great apps that are a must-have for this holiday season leave us a comment!
~ Happy Holidays and All the best in 2013!~

Sri Lanka Navy on alert following attack on Kinniya naval camp
Mon, Aug 15, 2011, 11:38 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Aug 15, Colombo: Sri Lanka Navy was on alert today after one of its camps in the Eastern Province came under attack on Sunday night by the residents of the area who were chasing "Grease Devils".
The Navy believes the attack by the residents on the Kinniya navy camp in Trincomalee district is a conspiracy by drug racketeers in the coastal area to close the base and remove the Navy from there to carry out drug smuggling operations uninterruptedly.
A spokesman for the Navy said that many racketeers were arrested in the last few days following the operations from the naval base in Kinniya and these racketeers are stirring up the public to remove the naval detachment as it is an obstacle to their operations.
A large group of residents last night pelted stones at the Navy camp claiming that two "Grease Devil" drove into the base and were seeking refuge there.
The Navy said it had to fire at the crowd to disperse the mob. Several villagers and navy personnel were injured in the clash and admitted to the hospital.
The mob also attacked the police, which arrived at the scene to control the situation, and burned a police jeep.
Tension prevailed today also after people stormed the Government Agent's office demanding the release of 25 suspects arrested by the police during the skirmish. The police have released the 25 people taken into custody last night.
The Navy spokesman has said the individuals engaged in the illegal activities were leading the assault on the camp.
A group of senior defence officials including the Eastern Commander Major General Boniface Perera visited Kinniya to monitor the situation.
Sri Lanka has been gripped with the fear of "Grease Devils" for the past few days. Prowlers, only clad in underwear and with grease applied on them to avoid being caught, have been terrorizing women in several rural areas of the--

CC's Community Kitchen celebrates its 20th anniversary Sunday all are invited to join in the meal and the celebration.
Since 1992, the kitchen has provided a hot meal to the city’s hungry and homeless 52 Sundays a year, including summer, winter, Thanksgiving, spring, and all block breaks, with students often staying on campus to help operate the kitchen.
The Community Kitchen will commemorate its anniversary with local bands, speakers on homelessness and poverty and a picnic-style meal. Among the speakers will be Bruce Coriell, chaplain at Colorado College, and Becky Manchester Aidlberg ’95, who helped found the kitchen when she was a student at CC.
Colin McCarey ’12, who started volunteering at the kitchen as a first-year student and currently is one of the three student kitchen managers, said there has been a consistent rise in the number of guests since he started working at the Community Kitchen. Currently, the kitchen serves an average of 200 guests each Sunday.
The Community Kitchen began on Easter Sunday 20 years ago, when a group of concerned CC students, began serving a free hot Sunday meal to the hungry and homeless of Colorado Springs. What began as a small operation dependent upon donations from the college’s cafeteria excesses soon grew into a community-supported organization that served an all-time high of 300 meals this summer.

Back in 2009, when I was just a youngin' wrapping up my sophomore year, I hopped on a plane and headed east to the Emerald Isle.
One of my bucket-list countries, my parents and I traipsed around Ireland for about a week. Gorgeous sights, incredibly filling food and cars on the wrong side of the road.
Well, as luck would have it, we found ourselves there in the middle of March. That's right. St. Patrick's Day.
As we stood along the main thoroughfare in Dublin, surrounded by green and orange, watching car after marching band after float pass by in the parade, my parents and I fought for our footing as the crowd surged.
And with so much pride in the air, it was only right for us to partake in another glorious Irish tradition: Beer drinking.
(Underage in the U.S. Beer drinker in Ireland. Hells yes.)
Now, you may be scoffing my premature exhalation of St. Patty's Day.
Ha! Nothing premature about it.
Old Chicago has brought on the green early, revving up its St. Patrick's Day mini tour a few days ago. Set to last until March 17, this tour's filled to the brim (pun always intended) with Guinness, Smithwicks and O'Hara's brews.
How do I know, you ask?
I was there.
My friend and I fought the cold winds and snow-filled streets to start one of our favorite tours.
And after an unfortunate beer-spilling incident, I brought that beer smell with me to work Thursday. Or rather my boots did. "Resident Beer Girl" as I'm known in the office now seems, to the unwitting nearby smeller, to have come to work drunk.
Info: St. Pat's Mini Tour at Old Chicago, 1102 Pearl Street.
Natural born artists
Next up:
But it's not what you think. No inappropriate gyrating or tequila shots ... this time.
Instead, Absinthe's getting artsy, hosting "Discovery," by RAW natural born artists, on Sunday.
A collaborative showcase of independent artists, musicians and designers, the show gives its audience an independent film, fashion show, musical performance, art gallery and more. All kinds of indie artists seeking the spotlight and putting on one hell of a show.
So culture up your weekend and head over in your Sunday (night) best.
Info: RAW "Discovery" show at the Absinthe House, 1109 Walnut Street, from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $10-$15. 21+
Rock out
Never fear, my 20 and younger friends. Seems your Program Council is at it again, bringing big-name talent right to your doorsteps.
Kris Allen's rocking out in the Old Main Chapel tonight with Jillette Johnson. My only exposure to his hits over the years has been from my friends filling my iTunes with their music, but the American Idol winner will bring his hits to campus.
This show's sure to liven up you're a Friday night. (Don't worry, the beer pong table will still be there when you get home.)
Info: Kris Allen at Old Main Chapel on Friday at 8 p.m. $12-$15.

While style is nice, content is what is important. That is why you you will see no backgrouds, fancy fonts or unnecessary graphics on my pages.
In addition, I have tried to make a balance between original content and hotlinks available at my site. I am bored silly by web pages which only point to other web pages. When you go somplace on-line you want to find something interesting and worthwhile the effort it took to go there! Indexes are fine if they are unique in the information they gather. Random "Hot links!" or "What's Cool" lists which pride themselves are lots of hot air.
HTML was designed to make page design
possible which ALL browsers could read. Thus someone
could design a page using the
<strong></strong>
pair, and some browsers would change the font, others would inverse
the video. This is different then using the
<bold></bold> or
<italics></italics> which command a browser to
emphasize in a certain fashion.
The netscape extensions promote elitism of platforms if they wish to become part of standard code.
Usenet represents more of the active dynamic then the Web to me. I am more interested in what comes out of the discussion of different people then the web page which comes from one persons time and effort.
Collaboration and cooperation, even by people of differing viewpoints, is much more the fruit of this new world.
Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you have disk space, time or energy to contribute. Thanks!

The season continues, and Missouri hopes to keep it that way.
The No. 8 seeded Missouri women’s soccer team plays No. 1 Colorado today at 11 a.m. in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament at the Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio.
The Tigers (9-9-1, 3-6-1 Big 12) took the last seed in the tournament by coming from behind to defeat Iowa State on Friday in Ames, Iowa. After trailing 2-0 and 3-2, Missouri battled back to defeat the Cyclones 4-3 and knock them out of tournament contention.
Missouri has appeared in seven of the eight Big 12 tournaments, failing to make the six-team cut in 1997. The Tigers lowest seed was eighth.
Coach Bryan Blitz, though, said he isn’t afraid of the underdog role.
“It’s an unusual spot for us,” Blitz said. “But we feel like we can play with anyone in the conference.”
A few weeks ago, Missouri had little chance to make the tournament. After starting 4-0, the Tigers faced eight ranked opponents, seven in eight consecutive games. On Oct. 17, Missouri was 6-8-1 and had not won a conference game.
The turning point for the Tigers was Oct. 19 against Texas A&M, ranked No. 4 in the country. Missouri, which trailed 4-1 at halftime, beat the Aggies 5-4 in overtime behind Melissa Peabody’s hat trick.
Since that game, the Tigers have won two of three games.
Senior Adriene Davis has high hopes for her last conference tournament.
“We want to go win this thing,” Davis said. “We want to be the eighth seed that comes through and wins it all.”
The Tigers will have a formidable opponent. In addition to being atop the Big 12 standings, the Buffaloes (15-2-1, 8-1-1) also are ranked fifth nationally and boast three Big 12 awards winners that were announced Tuesday.
Katie Griffin was named Rookie of the Year, Fran Munnelly was awarded Player of the Year and coach Bill Hempen was honored as Coach of the Year. Missouri and Colorado met Sept. 26, when the Buffaloes came back to win 3-2 after the Tigers took a 2-0 lead.
“I thought we played great that game,” Blitz said. “We can gain confidence from it and bring it into (today’s) game.”
