It's hard to believe that November is just around the corner. And it may still seem a bit early to plan for Christmas or Hanukkah, but the key to not going over-budget through the holidays is to plan ahead. Here are some simple steps to help.
1) Make a list of the people for whom you need or want to buy a gift.
2) Make a list of gift ideas for each person, including the dollar amount you plan to spend on them.
3) Start researching prices on these items. Perhaps you don't intend to shop yet, but by knowing the prices now, you can determine if the sales are really a good deal or not.
4) If necessary, consider placing items on layaway, or buying a couple of items with each paycheck to lessen the impact on finance.
5) Consider giving gifts from the heart – baked goods, homemade crafts, etc.
I realize many of you like to wait until Black Friday to get the great deals, but knowing the prices of items on your list ahead of time will help and can save you time, money, and aggravation! You might find better deals online and many online retailers offer free shipping.
Also, consider opening a Christmas Club bank account. Many banks offer these savings accounts where you can put in small amounts all year long and then they send you a check near the holidays. It's a great way to plan ahead so finances don't become problem during the holidays. The two online banks that come to mind are INGDirect and SmartyPig. I've personally used ING for years. Both are free, no minimum balances and are FDIC Insured.
The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time. Don't ruin the joy by overspending!
Now on to some other good stuff:

Do as the Spanish royals do and spend your summer in Palma
Or Palma de Mallorca to give the city its full name. It's all here: history and culture by the bucket-load, a throbbing nightlife and a warm Balearic welcome, freshened by a gentle Mediterranean sea breeze.
Most shoppers head straight for Avinguda Jaume III, Palma's main shopping street where international names jostle for attention. But the tree-lined Passeig des Born is also a good place for luxury boutiques. Brands can also be found at the Porto Pi Centro Comercial (Avinguda Gabriel Roca 54), a shopping centre 2km from the centre. For more unique items and traditional Majorcan design, wander around the Pla�a Mayor district, which has a weekly market and a plethora of independent shops. Nearer the port, Rialto Living Lifestyle Store (Carrer de San Feliu 3) is a treasure trove of interior design and art. Foodies will delight at discovering Mercat Olivar, a buzzing food market on Pla�a Olivar.
Food & Drink
Palma has a range of bars and restaurants to suit most tastes, whether simple tapas or cutting-edge cuisine. Caf� culture is big in Palma, with the atmospheric Bar Bosch (Pla�a Rei Joan Carles I 6) a perfect place to try ensa�mada, a coil of light dough sprinkled with icing sugar. For more substantial fare, sit down to a meal at Caf� C'an Toni (Costa Santa Creu 5), a lively eatery serving traditional Majorcan dishes, such as succulent roast meats cooked in its wood-burning oven. Another mid-range option, Restaurant Toque (Carrer de Federico Garc�a Lorca 6), serves Belgian-influenced cuisine. Among the most fashionable restaurants is Simply Fosh (Carrer de la Missi� 7a), a gourmet eatery in the Old Town.
Sa Rua Carnival
Also known as Darrers Dies, this carnival is celebrated at the start of Lent and features colourful floats, masked dancers and lively musicians in a lively procession along La Rambla.
Maundy Thursday parade
The largest parade during Semana Santa (Holy Week) sees different brotherhoods of the city hold aloft statues as they make their way to the cathedral.
Palma International Boat Show
This glitzy show featuring millionaire toys, luxury yachts and humble boats encompasses all things nautical in Palma Marina.
Nic de Foc (Night of Fire)
23 June
A feast of bonfires and fireworks signals the eve of midsummer in Parc de la Mersignal, an illuminating event that attracts both locals and visitors.
Festa de l'Estendard
31 December
This New Year celebration in honour of the Christian conquest of Palma in 1229 involves a popular parade from the town hall to the cathedral, where mass is held.
From the budget to the boutique, Palma de Mallorca has a host of fantastic accommodation. Gain a sense of traditional Majorcan chic at the Hotel Can Cera (Carrer San Francisco 8), a classy boutique escape in the Old Town. The classically styled Gran M�lia Victoria (Avinguda Joan Mir� 21) is a good top-end option in the city centre. For a real 'wow factor', head 11km out of the city to Castillo Hotel Son Vida (Carrer Raixa 2). Set within a 13th-century estate, this opulent offering has obvious elegance and sweeping views of the bay. Those wishing to save their Euros need not miss out on historical charm, however, with a stay at character-filled former palace Hotel Born (Carrer Sant Jaume 3).

By KEN SWEET
NEW YORK — The stock market staged a late-day rally Monday, helping push the Dow Jones industrial average and other U.S. indexes higher for the first time in a week.
Investors had a couple pieces of positive news to get behind: a decent earnings report from Berkshire Hathaway and the announcement of a rescue package for a struggling Portuguese bank.
However, investors remain cautious after last week's sell-off, which gave the Standard Poor's 500 index its worst five-day period in more than two years.
"Everyone is double-checking their own portfolio after what happened last week," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago.
The Dow (^DJI) rose 75.91 points, or 0.5 percent, to 16,569.28. It's the first time the blue chip index has posted a gain since July 28.
The Standard Poor's 500 index (^GSPC) rose 13.84 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,938.99 and the Nasdaq composite (^IXIC) added 31.25 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,383.89.
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A), the company run by Warren Buffett, helped give the market an early boost Monday.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based company reported a profit of $6.4 billion last quarter, helped by its insurance division Geico, which performed well above Wall Street's expectations. Berkshire's investment portfolio was also a big driver of profits last quarter. The company's Class B stock rose $3.89, or 3 percent, to $129.70, one of the biggest gain in the SP 500.
Michael Kors (KORS) was the biggest decliner in the SP 500, falling $4.82, or 6 percent, to $77.01. While the handbag and women's fashion company reported a rise in second quarter earnings, the company's profit margin shrank for the second consecutive quarter.
The news out of Portugal also helped the market.
Portugal's central bank said late Sunday it would shore up Banco Espirito Santo, one of the country's biggest financial institutions. Portugal's PSI 20 index rose 1 percent on the news.
Portugal's banking woes were one of many catalysts for last week's market sell-off. While Portugal's economy is small, strategists say that the eurozone's economy is fragile enough that Portugal's woes could spread. Europe just exited its latest recession a year ago, while the U.S. emerged from its last recession in 2009.
The tensions between Europe and Russia, the eurozone's biggest trading partner, over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine only added to the problems facing the continent.
"These types of things are going to hurt the European economy and it couldn't impact the region at a worse time," Ablin said.
Last week's market rout, where the SP 500 fell nearly 3 percent in five days, remains front and center in investors' minds. It was the worst week for the index since June 2012. With Monday's gains, it was the Dow's third positive day in the last 10 sessions.
"There does appear to be a little caution in the markets," said Alpari analyst Craig Erlam. "Investors are a little concerned that the sell-off which started last week is not over and could lead to something much bigger."
Utility stocks were among the biggest decliners. Consolidated Edison (ED), PGE (PCG) and Duke Energy (DUK) fell roughly 1 percent. The Dow Jones utility index, which includes 15 utility stocks, fell 1 percent.
Currency markets were flat. The dollar was steady at 102.56 yen and the euro held at $1.3422.
In energy, oil rose for the first day in a week. Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 41 cents to $98.29 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was flat at 2.49 percent.

Break on Through to the Other Side
I've switched! I'm finally on Wordpress now. It was so ridiculously easy, too! Here is my new site:
Hope to "see" you all over there! I've still got some cleaning to do, but I just couldn't wait. Blogger = headache for me lately.

Chilly Chili Monday
*Answer's to Friday's Three Things:
I do not have a birth mark. Good job, Emily and Erica! ;-)
The job thing is true. Long and complicated, which one day I'm sure I'll get into, but it's true. Just another reason to never, ever burn bridges, people!
And....the night light. Okay - let me explain. First of all, I get up to pee (sorry, TMI) at least once a night. I'm a water machine during the day - it catches up to me at about, oh, 2 a.m. Add this to being a clutz, and a night light is strictly a preventative measure.
But also I blame it all on the movie "The Descent." SCARIEST movie I've ever, ever seen! I have never had a movie give me nightmares like this one. And I like scary movies! So basically, if you're a scary movie lover - GO see this.
So last week I made some of this vegetarian slow cooker chili. I mean, with "Grandma's" in the title, it had to be good. Right?
Oh. My. Goodness. Best chili ever!
Per some of the recommendations in the reviews, I subbed chili powder and ground cumin (still giggle when I say that in my head) for the Italian spices. HOLY HELL this was good! Plus, it made enough to feed me all week.
I LOVE slow cooker recipes. Or crockpot recipes. Whatever! What's your fave slow cooker recipe??
Now about my midterm....I studied my heart out all last week and was hoping to get at least a B. After almost 20 hours of studying last week + TONS of caffeine + ephedrine (runny nose but it serves another purpose!), I finally just went to do the damn thang on Saturday morning. And....I got an 89%! One point from an A! I cannot tell you how relieved I am. I celebrated with some ice cream last night. :-) I can't/don't keep it in my house, but a trip out to get some was warranted!
Thanks to all of your wishes about my test - ya'll are the best! Hope you have a great Monday. :-)

Blogging, Books and Balls
I've been hittin' the books hard! I have my mid-term tomorrow -eeeek. It's worth 20% of our grade, so I'm really nervous about it. If I want to get into the nursing program, I have to get an A in this class. And the next level Anatomy class that I'll take next semester. It's just a little nerve wracking. But, what's meant to be will be! I feel like I'm to the point where I've soaked up all of the information my brain can hold, ya know?
Earlier this week I was feelin' frisky and wanted some balls (TWSS), and I remembered seeing Caitlin's Flax-Encrusted Sweet Potato Balls awhile back.
Yum, yum!!!
These were so good...I liked the crunch the Flax added. I had them with mustard and a little Non-Fat TJ's Greek Yogurt - LOVE it with the yogurt! I will most definitely make these babies again.
Now, onto our little Friday game!
Three Things About Myself - which one is false?
- I have a birth mark in a place covered by my bathing suit.
- I quit my current job and asked for it back two weeks after.
- I sleep with a night light.
Wish me luck on my test!!

Lentils: A Second Chance

And They Called it Pumpkin Love
Yes, my cousin dropped a weight on my head when I was 4. I had stitches and still have the scar to prove it!
And, yes, I did run up to Jermaine O'Neal one night outside of a bar in Indianapolis (this is when he played for the Pacers - pre-brawl). I asked if he would sign an autograph for me (hey, I didn't have any paper!) and when he asked where my pen was, I shrugged my shoulders and walked/skipped away! You can guess how many alcoholic drinks were involved in this scenario.
I got a hankering for something else pumpkin this weekend...and guess what I found!
Did you know there is a shortage of canned pumpkin this year? Stock up, kids - this could jeopardize our Thanksgiving Dinners.
I also got my very first Pumpkin Spice Latte to celebrate my studies and, well, the weekend.
And I ended my weekend by watching my favorite Pumpkin do his thang.

Favorite Part and Three Things Game
Thanks for all of your wonderful comments on my post about my former (?) cardio addiction. It seems like this is a lot more common than I thought, and it's good to hear that most of you have found that balance. For me, I'm working on it...but I think I'm onto something here! The first step in solving a problem is admitting the problem, right?
Meghann had a fun post the other day about her favorite body part - her back. I think it is so easy to focus on the negatives regarding our own bodies; I don't have (a butt, boobs, hips), I am too big around my (thighs, waist, arms), I wish I were (a little bit taller, which I was a baller, wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her - love that song). But you get the idea.
I will start. My new favorite body part is my arms. Before this year, they were skinny but undefined. Just....there. Now, I'm getting some guns, kids!
They are there. I promise. Look closely.
Okay, your turn.What's your favorite body part?!
Moving on....
So I always look forward to certain things on people's blogs....Iowa Girl's Three Question Thursday, Tina's questions at the end of her posts, and a lot more but my brain is too tired right now. ;-)
I thought I'd start something fun every Friday. I'll call it....The Three Things Game (original). Anyway, I've played this before and it's actually fun....but my life has been pretty uneventful so it might require lots of brainstorming on my part. We can stop if it's lame, but I love these things! You learn lots of
scandelous interesting things about people, too.
You list 3 things - 2 of which are true about yourself, and one of which is not. Then someone guesses which are true and which is false.
So, 3 things about me:
- I slipped and fell as a bridesmaid walking down the aisle in my sister's wedding.- My cousin dropped a 10 pound weight on my head when I was 4.
- I asked Jermaine O'Neal to sign his name on my cleavage, then ran away when I realized I didn't have a pen.
What do you think? Do you think I'm a clutz, an abused child, or a dumb blonde? (all three answers not optional). I'll answer in the next post!

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Valerie Bertinelli discovered family secrets on Wednesday's episode of Who Do You Think You Are?.
The 54-year-old actress discovered royal lineage in her background, and learned her great-grandmother Maria had her grandmother Angelina out of wedlock. Maria married Bertinelli's great-grandfather Francesco two years after she had Angelina, but was widowed the year after the wedding.
"Valerie Bertinelli goes down her father's side of the family and then she goes down her mother's side of the family, which she knew very little about," executive producer Dan Bucatinsky told The Wrap. "In a way, we were able to sort of satisfy curiosities on both sides of her family and in really satisfying ways, emotional, intriguing, things that she knew nothing about that are complete surprises to her."
Bertinelli also discovered Maria's second husband, Gregorio, attempted to murder her great-grandmother, and believed her dead before he committed suicide. Several other celebrities have learned of murderers within their families during the season, and Bucantinsky said the trend was "not intentional."
"It wasn't a theme we were going after, but it just happened to happen," he said. "It's interesting that there are common themes that emerge but are certainly not what we are after. We don't do it with that intention. It also goes to show how much commonality there is in all of our lives."
Who Do You Think You Are? is in its second season on TLC, and previously aired for three seasons on NBC. Season five has featured Bertinelli, Cynthia Nixon, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Rachel McAdams thus far, and Kelsey Grammer and Lauren Graham's episodes are yet to come. Grammer's episode will air August 20, while Graham's is scheduled for August 27.

Thanks to Teresa of MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting last week's Saturday Mix Prompt. The prompt is to write a Homeric or Epic Simile.
He lived his life did, what he could, but could —
Not find a way to escape the demons.
He could not escape his addiction; the —
Monster sunk his teeth into him when his,
Guard was down; he would feel wonderful,
Healthy, good, then he felt it's teeth gnawing.
The biting, the teeth claiming his flesh, would make,
His skin itch until he wanted to tear it,
Off; running for the bathroom where he hid,
His medication, the pills he so craved.
Wanted to quit; to never take again,
But the monster clawing down his back would,
Never stop; not until he claimed him for–
His own; made him demon too, who hits her,
His girl; who loves him, though hallucinates,
Of the Hell monster, he lives in terror of,
He wakes from Hell to find his family,
Has deserted him; he's alone breathing;
Trying to forget the demon who would start,
Eating him alive soon, making his temper —
Rise and his fists fly as he imbibes too,
Craving the second monster who is the,
Only way to handle the greater,
The worst monster, the devil hiding.
Evil itself repeatedly gnawing,
Trapping him in Hades, stripping his —
Soul; so he feels that he does not exist;
For anyone, but to grind and lash out.
To battle the demon, his addiction,
And no one can help him, they've given
Up all hope; so one day he thought he would,
Give in let the monster finish him.
Bind and seal the deal, his soul in hell for,
All eternity and he was going,
To jump when he saw — a light, awoke;
In the room of the addictions unit.
At the hospital and the nurse tells him,
"It's okay it's been a month and you're —
Dreaming again; it's a wicked —
Nightmare and not your reality now.
Keep clean and the monster, he'll leave soon,
Then, you'll be free as you're here and —
Remain aware; when you leave stay far from,
Put those drugs, the alcohol behind.
And soon you must embrace your new life,
Make your apologies and live."
The man sighs almost crying, so —
Happy the demons are distant dreams.

Yesterday I noticed that my SO account has been deleted. I tried to log in with my email address but it was not recognized as a valid account and the system created a new account for me. My reputation and all my answers were gone.
I would at least have expected an email with an explanation why my account was deleted! I guess one of the moderators was not happy with one of my answers. Deleting my account with all the answers because of this is not something that I deserved.
Is there something that I can do to recover my account?

By default, your Mac starts up from its built-in hard disk, but a startup disk can be any storage device that contains an operating system compatible with your Mac. For example, if you install macOS on an internal or external drive, your Mac can recognize that drive as a startup disk. You can then follow the steps in this article to start up from it.
Use Startup Disk preferences
When you use Startup Disk preferences to select a startup disk, your Mac starts up from that disk until you choose a different one.
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Startup Disk.
- Click and enter your administrator password.
- Select your startup disk, then restart your Mac.
If you see a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk, check the External Boot setting in Startup Security Utility.
Use Startup Manager
When you use Startup Manager to select a startup disk, your Mac starts up from that disk once, then returns to using the disk selected in Startup Disk preferences.
- Press and hold the Option key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac.
- Release the Option key when you see the Startup Manager window.
If your Mac is protected by a firmware password, you can release the key when you're asked to enter the password.
- Select your startup disk, then click the arrow under its icon, or press Return.
If you press and hold the Control key during this step, your selection is saved in Startup Disk preferences, so it persists until you change it.
If your Mac is using OS X Lion 10.7.3 or later, you can also use this method to start up from your Time Machine backup disk. Startup Manager identifies your Time Machine backup as "EFI Boot."
If you can't select your startup disk or start up from it
Check for these possibilities if you can't see your disk in Startup Disk preferences or Startup Manager, or your Mac won't start up from it.
Check for a valid operating system on the startup disk
Make sure that your startup disk is using a version of macOS that's compatible with your Mac. You might need to reinstall macOS on that disk.
Check startup security settings
If you're using a Mac that has the Apple T2 Security Chip, check the settings in Startup Security Utility. These settings determine whether your Mac can start up from another disk.
Check for Option ROM firmware
If you're in Startup Manager and can't see your startup disk, press Option-Shift-Command-Period. If that works, do this each time you want to start up from the device or from a startup disk connected to it.
To enhance system security, Mac computers with up-to-date software don't show devices that have Option ROM firmware until you press these keys in Startup Manager to load the firmware. On Mac models from early 2015 or earlier, you can disable this security feature to load Option ROM firmware automatically. This removes an important protection against potential unauthorized access to your Mac by other people with physical access to it.
- Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type
sudo nvram enable-legacy-orom-behavior=1, then press Return.
To undo this command, enter
sudo nvram -d enable-legacy-orom-behavior.
If you're using a firmware password on your Mac, the ability to load Option ROM firmware automatically or manually is disabled as an additional security protection. If you want to remove this additional protection but keep your firmware password:
- Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type this command, then press Return:
sudo firmwarepasswd -setmode command -allow-oroms
To undo this command, enter
sudo firmwarepasswd -setmode command.
- Type the administrator password for your user account, then press Return.
- Type your firmware password, then press Return.
- Restart your Mac.

BioTork announces collaboration with BASF
BioTork LLC announces collaboration with BASF to optimize certain microbial strains for the industrial production of bio-based polymers and green chemicals. After six months of collaboration, BASF and BioTork came to the conclusion that a combination of their complementary approaches to strain development can improve the efficiency and resulting economics of biochemical production processes. The financial terms of the partnership have not been disclosed.
BASF has been conducting intensive research on the use of microorganisms for the production of proteins, enzymes, vitamins and other high value and low cost chemicals. In their natural environment, microorganisms generally synthesize these chemicals only to meet their own requirements for survival. The challenge faced by chemical companies is to push these microorganisms to produce these chemicals faster, in much larger quantities, and under industrial conditions that are different from the microorganisms' natural environment. This is the only way to use microorganisms for commercially viable production of chemical products. To achieve this goal, BASF is successfully using metabolic engineering techniques to make targeted modifications to certain microorganisms in order to optimize bioconversion capability, increase yield and eliminate bottlenecks.
"A recently completed pilot study between BioTork and BASF demonstrated that these engineered microorganisms could be further optimized for maximal industrial performance using adaptive evolution," says Tom Lyons, chief scientific officer of BioTork. "Laboratory results confirm a synergy effect between the metabolic modifications engineered by BASF and the proprietary adaptive evolution technology used by BioTork." BioTork is the holder of an exclusive, worldwide license to use the adaptive evolution technology of Evolugate, LLC in the fields of bio-based chemical and biofuel production.
The Evolugate adaptive evolution technology is a continuous culture apparatus that selects the fittest genetic variants from among a population under controlled environmental conditions that mimic those needed for the most economical industrial process. After rounds of selection—which can achieve success in a matter of weeks or months—the microorganisms acquire capabilities that were absent from the original strain. These new capabilities provide the microbe with the potential to enhance industrial performance and thereby improve the economics of the process. Examples of these newly acquired properties could be a faster growth rate, the ability to grow at non-optimal temperatures, resistance to inhibitors or growth under nutrient limiting conditions.
"We are extremely pleased with the capacity of our technology to complement the metabolic modifications that are engineered by BASF," says Marc Penicaud, BioTork vice president for business development in Europe. "We will dedicate all the necessary resources to ensure BASF achieves major advancements in the production of high value bio-based chemicals."

The Rubinoos
the news, The 'Boos are back in town!!!!
Brand new poppin' release produced by Chuck Prophet (Green On Red) from
a band that seems to never age! Nobody
makes music like The Rubinoos anymore…
except for The Rubinoos, that is! "This
is an album that will restore your faith in everything that you loved about
music growing up and everything you love about music now. It is an album
that is as fresh as a warm summer breeze and as comforting as your favorite
blanket on a cold winter's eve. They have
created a full-length platter that matches the absolute joy of their first two
albums. With the help of Prophet, the
album enhances all of the charm and songwriting smarts of those first two
records and adds depth and maturity to the mix. Situated somewhere between the Bubblegum pop
of The Archies and Lancelot Link & The Evolution Revolution and the more
sophisticated rock sounds of the British Invasion (The Beatles, The Kinks,
etc.), The Rubinoos have created a musical universe that defies all logic: they
seem to be out of step with the times yet remain utterly timeless. Instead of
offering up a collection of songs that remind you of the horrors of this world,
they serve up an album that makes you feel so good be alive. 'From Home' is an album that sounds great
blasting out of your car's speakers as you cruise down Main Street yet it also
sounds fab while you are relaxing at home with a glass of your favorite
beverage and a bag of pretzels that are
way past their sell-by date. It is a love letter to rock 'n' roll and a
thank you to their fans. Best of all, the record is a career-defining work of
Power Pop art that may give the genre some well-deserved street cred again.
Maybe." – Steve Schnee GREAT!!

Recreation paths have become a "feel good" activity for politicians and right about now San Jose's City Council should be feeling good about the latest 1.2-mile addition to Coyote Creek Trail starting at Tully Road.
Of course, most trail building is a multi-agency deal with city, county, federal and even private donation dollars in the mix. The trail saw its formal dedication on Saturday, August 16, as part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. I did not attend, but I did ride the trail on Sunday.
I've long been a fan of the Coyote Creek Trail going south from Hellyer Park nearly to Anderson Reservoir in Morgan Hill. This extension heads 2 miles north from Hellyer to Tully Road, passing a hodgepodge of scenery: Los Lagos golf course, a golf driving range, a new playground in Stone Gate Park, Stonegate Elementary School, a horse ranch, and a skateboard park.
It follows Coyote Creek, although seeing the creek through dense foliage is a challenge. I visited here a couple years ago and wound up on the west side of the creek, which was and still is a homeless camp. The camp dates back to at least 1906, providing every indication that homelessness is a way of life, for some. At least they don't have to worry about foreclosures.
But I digress. The path is fabulous, with a few rises and descents to get your heart rate going, but only a challenge for youngsters just learning to ride. There's a drinking fountain at the new playground, picnic tables, and benches.
There's more to come. One day, probably not in my lifetime though, a recreation path will extend all the way to the bay. Coyote Creek has plenty of parks nearby, but there's an awful lot of junk and right-of-way hassles to overcome, so it's going to be long slog. Let your local politician know it's money well spent.
While it's a long haul for me — 10 miles on Curtner Avenue most of the way — I like to ride the length of the path and return on other roads, like McKee. The new path is smooth and has those fancy yellow stripes down the middle. The section leading to Hellyer Park from Capitol Expressway has also been spiffed up and repaved, trash removed. Enjoy the ride!

CHENNAI/HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finnish phone maker Nokia's said Indian tax officials raided its production unit in the southern city of Chennai on Tuesday.
A company spokesman said it was cooperating with the probe, although he could not elaborate on what local authorities were looking for. The Chennai plant is one of Nokia's biggest facilities.
A senior Indian tax official said the investigation related to allegations that the company may have evaded around 30 billion rupees ($543 million) in taxes.
"We are suspecting a default in TDS (tax deducted at source) on payments to other countries against software supplies," said the Indian tax official, who declined to be named.
Nokia shares fell 2.3 percent to 3.20 euros by 1142 GMT.
India's finance minister, P. Chidambaram, has vowed to clamp down on tax evasion to help the country plug a widening fiscal deficit.
In November, a junior finance minister said India was investigating the local unit of chocolate maker Cadbury over taxes.

Perrigo Initiates Nationwide Voluntary Product Recall of Acetaminophen Infant Suspension Liquid, 160 mg/5 mL, Due to a Potential Defect with the Co-packaged Oral Syringe
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services received information that Perrigo Company has initiated a voluntary, nationwide product recall for 18 batches of its acetaminophen infant suspension liquid, 160 mg/5 mL, sold in 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles with syringes in a box. The recall is being initiated because of the remote potential that a small number of packages might contain an oral dosing syringe without dose markings. The correct syringe should have a white or yellow plunger with specific dose markings for 1.25 mL, 2.5 mL, 3.75 mL, and 5 mL. If the product's syringe has these dose markings, consumers can continue to use the product while following labeled use instructions.
Using an oral syringe without dose markings can result in inaccurate dosing, especially in infants who could mistakenly get too high a dose.
This over-the-counter product is indicated for the relief of fever and minor aches and pains and can be used in infants, children and adults. These recalled products are sold by distributors nationwide and distributed through retail stores.
The full recall can be found at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm373338.htm.

11 Members of KDChi will be initiated in April
Latina Sorority Fosters New Relationships at Southwestern Univ
Members of the new Kappa Delta Chi sorority at Southwestern.
Leading with Integrity, United through Service.
Kristi Lenderman, president of Southwestern University's Kappa Delta Chi sorority, has taken the group's official motto to heart. Since joining the Latina-based sorority, also known as KDChi, Lenderman has not only assumed a leadership role among her sisters, but has also worked hard to extend the sorority's reach to the wider community.
KDChi was founded in 1987 by four women attending Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. Each of the founding sisters shared a driving desire to foster relationships between the Latina population at their university and to serve their community. They valued qualities such as unity, honesty, integrity and leadership, and used them to develop a rich service-based sisterhood that supports the American Cancer Society as its official philanthropy.
Since becoming a nationally recognized organization in 1991, KDChi has grown to include about 3,000 sisters in more than 40 chapters across the United States. It will soon expand further to include Southwestern.
Lenderman, who would like to work for a Latin American nonprofit group and become an immigration lawyer, said she wanted to join KDChi before it was even present on campus.
"I knew the women involved have the same goals of serving the Latin American community as I do," she said. "I also appreciated the benefits of sisterhood; that you have women who are your family for life and you can have access to even after graduating."
Lenderman was one of 16 Southwestern students who approached Mary Gonzalez, assistant dean of students for multicultural affairs, about the possibility of starting a KDChi chapter at Southwestern. Gonzalez has extensive ties to KDChi herself, including serving as the organization's vice president of collegiate affairs and overseeing its 40 chapters around the country.
The group has 11 charter members who will be initiated April 17. After securing their first pledge class in the fall, the group will qualify for official chapter status.
Until then, the members are keeping busy. Community service remains important, and the sisters have had opportunities to take part in several different local philanthropies. Lenderman's favorite was a leadership workshop aimed at working with young women in local high schools.
"We were able to come together as a whole to teach the girls how important college is and build their confidence," Lenderman said. In addition to their work encouraging young ladies, the sisters have been involved in reaching out to other groups of high school students, running test prep classes and assisting them with the college application process.
The women have also been involved in preparing for the rush process. As they anticipate welcoming new pledges, Lenderman stresses that while the sorority is focused on the Latina community, it is open to women of all ethnicities.
"We have a multicultural membership. We welcome everyone and work hard to create women who are brilliant and able to do awesome things," she said.

All season long, the Phillies have done something that no other team in their history had done.
They are still doing it, but in the "you-got-to-be-kidding" mode as opposed to WOW. Perhaps WOW is fitting.
Their losing streak now stands at eight in a row, longest one since they dropped the same number of games in 2000. On the major league level, they have the longest losing streak for any team that had 98 wins. The New York Giants of 1904 held that record, six in a row after 104 wins.
The offense continues to be unproductive, putting pressure on the pitching. In game 1, a 2-1 loss. Cole had no margin for error in that defeat. Cole's 1-0 lead vanished on a pinch-hit home run in the seventh. He's given up 18 home runs this season, eight this month. In his nine losses, the Phillies have scored 11 total runs.
In game 2, six hits and two runs after two innings and then one run and four hits over the next seven innings. Three times, they hit into double plays.
During the losing streak they have yet to score in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Phillies home runs in the streak: two. WOW-WOW.

BOSTON, Mass. – Tied 69-69 with seven seconds left on the clock, freshman guard Vinny DeLucia (Miami, Fla.) gave the Beacons a two-point lead on his final jumper of the night. Now with only five seconds remaining Southern Maine would bring the ball up the court and set-up right outside the arc. With time quickly winding down senior John Sewall would throw up a last second shot which unfortunately for UMass Boston would hit nothing but net to give the visiting Huskies a 72-21 buzzer beater victory Tuesday evening in the Clark Athletic Center.
Setting-up what would be the deciding play of the Little East Conference match-up was a back and forth second half that could have gone to either team. Down by three at the break, the Beacons (5-11, 1-5 Little East) came out firing in the second half and quickly jumped out to a 10 point lead eight minutes in.
However the Huskies (7-8, 1-5 Little East) would not go quietly and retook control of the scoreboard with less than three minutes to play in regulation. They would make it a five point game after Chris Pagentine converted his and-1 (67-62).
Helping to put a stop to the Huskies late run was big-man Kadeem Coulter (Boston, Mass.) who scored back-to-back baskets for the Beacons to make it just a one point game. DeLucia would then hit a three to give UMass a two point lead with 1:47 left on the clock.
Southern Maine then tied the game at 69-69 on a lay-up from Jeremy Jackson. Jackson could have given the Huskies a one point lead as he was fouled on the then game-tying shot. The senior would miss the go-ahead opportunity, with the ball landing in the hands of Mike Caceres (Opa-Locka, Fla.).
Caceres would fly up the court and would hand the ball off to Isaac Jenkins (Pordenone, Italy), who led the game in scoring with 22 points. Unable to get the open shot, Jenkins passed the ball to DeLucia, who nailed a perfect jumper to make it 71-69. Despite the late rally, the 3-pointer from Sewall would steal the victory right out of the hands of the Beacons.
Jenkins game-high 22 points was the result of 9-of-14 shooting from the field, which included four 3-pointers. DeLucia totaled 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting from floor and 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. Both Jenkins and DeLucia handed out six assists each. Coulter had his strongest game of the season in the paint as totaled a team-best five blocks, while also dropping in seven points of his own.
On the night the Beacons combined for 10 blocks respectively, with three stops going to Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) and two going to Brian Clarke (Miramar, Fla.).
Pagentine ended the game as the Huskies leading scorer with 19 points (7-of-14 from the field). Connor Sullivan finished with 16 points, followed by Alex Kee with 11. Jackson was the game's leading rebounder as he pulled down 15 boards. He also had nine points and four blocks in 39 minutes of playing time.
As a team, UMass Boston shot 43.8% (28-for-64) from the floor and 50.0% (11-for-22) from 3-point range. Southern Maine shot 40.3% (29-for-72) from the floor as a team, and 55.6% (10-for-18) from behind the arc. The Huskies also held a 51-34 advantage in rebounds.
Men's basketball returns to action on Saturday when they travel to Western Connecticut State University for a 3 p.m. Little East Conference game.

The Deal Or No Deal opening machine above is the second form, named "Bankers Riches". It bears a comparability to X-Factor 2 space in a few ways: its a spin-off, it is in light of a TV demonstrate to, it has three peculiarity rounds and a dynamic big stake. However the extent that amusement play goes, the Deal Or No Deal opening machine is altogether different. Diversions like the Iron Man slots and the phenomenal new X men slot game have increased present expectations for online spaces keeping in mind Deal Or No Deal will have its fans, it does feel a bit dull close by those recreations. Yet… its not as unstable and for those whom stimulation is as essential as making a benefit, the Deal Or No Deal amusement has its place.
While most space machines depend intensely on the free turn reward to give enormous wins (Pharaohs Fortune and the Dolphin's Pearl opening spring instantly to brain), the Deal Or No Deal space's free turn peculiarity is a bit lukewarm by examination. It's additionally arbitrary, activated by 3 or more phone images in perspective which can likewise recompense different peculiarities like "Broker's Offer". When you get the free turn characteristic, you have "boundless" free twists, just ceasing when the "Broker" shows up on the center reel. Which he has a tendency to do rapidly I would say.
The "Baankers Best Offer" peculiarity does precisely what it says on the tin. On the off chance that you know the TV indicate then this will be really evident from the off. You get 10 offers and when you acknowledge one, the characteristic's over. Commonly you may win up to 20x your wager in the event that you pick admirably – it could be more, simply that I haven't seen more than that yet.
A few of the slot machines you can play here have different extra peculiarities however it typically implies there is a somewhat of an exchange off. Alternately put an alternate way, its by and large a pointer that the amusement is lower instability and one of those intended to give more diversion esteem rather then creature hits condusive to unpredictable recreations. The Deal Or No Deal slot game is one of those and shy of hitting the dynamic bonanza you are unlikley to leave with a huge wedge of money yet you ought to have had a better than average run for your cash in any event.
There has been a movement for openings through the years through. While the first machine had three reels and one pay-line, you just need to take a gander at advanced openings to see the choices. 5, 7 and even 9 reels are normal place in numerous club and with online innovation pressing all the more in, this could keep on climbing. There has likewise been a sensational bounce in the quantity of winning lines that can be found in these recreations. Playing spaces used to be basic and a diversion you could watch out for each winning alternative yet these days, this is inconceivable. Thankfully the innovation used with spaces guarantees that you will never pass up a major opportunity for any potential pay-line the length of you pay for the line. An extraordinary sample of this is on Deal or No Deal openings
A standout amongst the most essential components of openings today is the dynamic big stake diversion. This is the place there is an opportunity to win a colossal total of cash from playing spaces and the greatest gaming prizes ever won have all been on dynamic openings. With PC innovation permitting a scope of machines to connection up to the same system, there is a much bigger capacity for dynamic bonanza amusements to achieve fantastic levels, expanding the energy and show for everybody.
A main consideration in the accomplishment of openings and the dynamic bonanzas is that there is no genuine requirement for ability to be an enormous champ. Fortunes can be the over-riding figure an openings win which is the reason it is such a mainstream amusement. It doesn't cost a great deal of cash to play (despite the fact that the more pay lines you play for, the more you need to pay) and it doesn't need to take a ton of time, so there is no purpose behind anybody to give these amusements a miss.
They are exceptionally prevalent with players and gambling club managers
Spaces are tremendously prominent with players and they are likewise colossally famous with club holders. The way that when you enter a club you are met with a bank of spaces shows their prominence and it is exceptional to see something that unites both players and clubhouse holders in something. Spaces stay at the very heart of gambling club fun and activity and will keep on doing as such for quite a while. This can be seen with the way that online club locales and portable clubhouse sites have given an expanding number of opening amusements, eg Deal Or No Deal Slots for players. Openings are impeccably suited for play on PDAs and tablets, which implies that they will be at the bleeding edge of the online and versatile clubhouse gaming unrest for quite a long time to come.
The way that spaces stay as crisp, imaginative and energizing today as they did when they initially acquainted with the gaming scene demonstrates how extraordinary an action it is. Whether you see an openings player as a maturing lady with a pail of quarters before her or a youngster having a fabulous time on their advanced cell or tablet, there is no making tracks in an opposite direction from the way that spaces are something that everybody can appreciate.
In case you're searching for an excellent clubhouse diversion where fortunes implies you are stand out step far from an enormous win, spaces would need to be in your sights.

(visited by Shawn Fleming)
21-Aug-2005 -- It was time for another confluence adventure, this time successfully visiting thirteen confluences in Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Montana. This would be number six on my adventure.
I had a real bear of a time getting here. From 39N-114W I went north on Gandy Road and beyond Gandy turned west towards Tippett. NG TOPO Utah (with TOPO! Streets & 3D Views) depicts Whiskey Road as a fairly major road but in all reality it is a poor 4WD road. Approaching Goshute from the west along this road was not fun. Had I continued west until NV-2 it may have been a different story. I found pavement and went north at Goshute through the Indian Reservation on Ibapah Road to the town of Ibapah. I then turned south onto the paved NV-2 and went south until I found what turned out to be a driveway at N40 01.390 W114 00.591 leading to a ranch house. I had been expecting just another dirt road.
Since I had come this far already and approaching from the east was not an option due to the river, I turned down the driveway until the gate and then walked the rest of the way up to the house to ask for permission. An elderly gentlemen answered the door and after explaining what I had hoped to do and giving him a copy of the Letter to Landowners he told me that the point was not on his property but he did give me permission to continue along the road which led to an abandoned mobile home belonging to the actual property owner who no longer lived there and said I could continue from there.
I was able to drive to just under a mile north of this cow-fluence, as I will always remember it – the cows own it and all the area around it. I walked down a dried muddy path full of deep cowprints and other stuff – luckily the path was not wet. If I did not watch where I was going, it would have been easy to twist an ankle even wearing boots. This path had not been driven on in several years and was overgrown with thick weedy bushes. It did take me almost all the way to the point.
The confluence itself is in a small clearing (relatively speaking) surrounded by tall weeds with yellow flowers. I arrived at mid-afternoon and afternoon thunderstorms were starting to build off to the west. The cows wanted no part of my intrusion and began heading towards the river.
Picture #1 shows the flowers at the confluence. Picture #2 looks north. Picture #3 looks east towards the Deep Creek Range. Picture #4 looks south towards the South and Kern Mountain ranges. Picture #5 looks west. Picture #6 shows my GPS position.
On my way back out I stopped by to thank the gentleman for letting me pass and then continued on my way.
Round trip time from NV-2 was 1:20 to drive/hike the 4.96 miles. Moo!
Next stop: 40N-113W.
