Yo, It's Philly Cheesesteak Burgers at Carl's Jr.
Nov 15, 2006
Burgers Topped With Philly-Style Steak, Veggies and Cheese for Authentic Cheesesteak Experience
CARPINTERIA, Calif., Nov. 15 -- Today Carl's Jr.® announces a new line of burgers that would make even Rocky swoon: the Philly Cheesesteak Burgers™. Built like they sound, the burgers offer a one-two punch of thinly sliced steak and a juicy, charbroiled burger patty, finished off with peppers, onions, Swiss and American cheeses, and mayonnaise on a seeded bun.
For those willing to step into the ring, Carl's Jr. plans to offer three mouth-watering sizes. For light-weights, there is the single -- enough meat and cheese and meat to get the juices flowing. Middle-weights may be tempted by a double burger, and heavy-weights will delight in the Philly Cheesesteak Six Dollar Burger™ -- about a half-pound 100 percent Angus beef patty topped with the requisite thin-sliced steak, peppers, onions, cheese and mayo.
"Other restaurants have topped burgers with cheese, peppers and onions, and called them 'cheesesteak burgers,' but they didn't taste like a cheesesteak burger," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. "They just tasted like burgers with cheese, peppers and onion on them. So, when we set out to make a true Philly cheesesteak burger that really tasted like the marriage of those two great sandwiches, we literally put a cheesesteak on a burger, steak and all."
Haley continued, "The Philly Cheesesteak Burgers are another example of the combination of a classic American sandwich and another American classic, the burger. Our first foray into this area was with the Pastrami Burger, originally introduced in 2004 and brought back again this past summer. Jay Leno even joked on the Tonight Show that he couldn't believe we would use meat as a condiment for meat, but people liked the Pastrami Burger so much that we began exploring other meat-on-meat burger-sandwich combinations and the results was the Philly Cheesesteak Burger line."
The Philly Cheesesteak Burgers are offered in three varieties: as a single for $3.49, a double for $4.49 and a Six Dollar Burger for $4.99. Pricing may vary regionally.
Television advertising to promote the new burgers offers an affectionate tribute to the birthplace of the namesake sandwich and the rich parlance of its inhabitants. In the 30-second spot, two cabbies exchange pleasantries, sample the Philly Cheesesteak Burger, and admire a few passersby while the viewer is given the courtesy of subtitles. The commercial, created by advertising agency of record Mendelsohn|Zien, begins airing in Carl's Jr. markets Monday, Nov. 27.
This year, Carl's Jr. celebrates 65 years in the quick-service industry. What began as a lone hot dog cart in Los Angeles, Calif. in 1941 is today an international organization that employs nearly 30,000 people worldwide. Carl's Jr. is a wholly owned subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) of Carpinteria, Calif. As of the second fiscal quarter ended Aug. 14, 2006, CKE Restaurants, Inc., through its subsidiaries, had a total of 3,131 franchised or company-owned restaurants in 43 states and in 13 countries, including 1,072 Carl's Jr. restaurants, 1,945 Hardee's restaurants and 98 La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill® restaurants.

British actor Jude Law is reportedly dating the wardrobe assistant from his new movie "Dom Hemingway."
The star, who was previously married to Sadie Frost and engaged to Sienna Miller, has grown close to Ellen Crawshaw since they began working on the film in October, according to Britain's Mail On Sunday.
A source tells the publication, "Jude and Ellen's romance is the talk of the set. It started last month when we were filming in France.
"There was an instant connection and they'd been flirting but it didn't turn physical until the night we all went out for a cast and crew party just outside St Tropez.
"Since then they have been inseparable. They are making no attempt to hide their feelings for each other and both of them look so happy. They clearly get on fantastically well. He's single and so is she, so there's nothing to hide. They are just two people in love having a great time together."

Chantecaille's Lip Chics ($35) have long been on my radar as a must-try. This time around, I picked up Chantecaille Amour (a pretty, wearable soft pink) and Isis (a complex mauve-brown with subtle shimmer). These soft, moisturizing sheers offer a gorgeous colors that are easily wearable everyday. They offer a soft, amped glow that is very flattering. They are also wonderful at moisturizing imperfections in the lips, to give a youthful appearance.
Chantecaille Amour is a universally flattering medium rose. I find the wear time on this pretty good for a sheer–just under a medium time frame. They feel wonderful.
Chantecaille Amour on Liz:
Chantecaille Isis might be an unusual choice, but I love mauve nudes. I had read that this color was similar to MAC's Huggable in Rich Marron, which is a color that I backed up and use several days a week.
In my opinion, the sheerness and glow of Isis, together with the dash of red, keep the color from being too 1990's. It looks quite polished with a nude-themed makeup look.
Chantecaille Isis on Liz:
Here are comparison swatches with some other pretty sheer, neutrals. On the left is Chanel Rouge Allure Troublant. I've also compared MAC Rich Marron Huggable with Isis. As you can see, Isis is more complex. However, they are quite close in color. Overall, Chantecaille feels even more cushiony, moisturizing, and lasts a bit longer. I've also swatched Chanel Rouge Coco in Avant Garde.
My small experiment into the Chantecaille Lip Chic line is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I find these "swipe and go" lipsticks very flattering in both their color and formula.

3dviewcontrol.zip (494 KB)
The three-dimensional capabilities of Adobe Flash CS4 Professional allow changes in the zoom and view perspective, and its handling of 3D math makes it easier to navigate in and around a 3D scene. Game developers and animators can now incorporate 3D view and movement more easily than before.
This tutorial explores two different ways to change what is shown on the Stage
- Changing the viewpoint through pan and zoom
- Moving the objects themselves within the 3D space
Moving the viewpoint is simple and acts like a camera zoom lens. Moving objects on the Stage using the object's x, y, and, z attributes is not much more difficult and offers full movement on each axis—it's like holding an object in your hands with the ability to move it in and out, up and down, and also allows rotations of the scene itself.
The code in this tutorial demonstrates both methods, including how to perform multiple transformations using the Matrix3D class. The sample files contain navigational UI controls for changing the view using both approaches, as shown in Figure 1.
Constructing a 3D scene
Flash display objects such as Sprites are flat, even when put in a 3D world. As you can with photographs, you can position them any way you want. But to create a three-dimensional structure with depth, you'll need multiple display objects.
In the scene I create in this article, each wall or floor is created in its own Sprite, then rotated into the correct position. As shown in Figure 2, the wall (pink rectangle), which is originally flat, is "lifted" into position by increasing the rotationYproperty to 90 degrees. Note that its upper left registration point (0,0) marked in Figure 2 remains the same relative to the other rectangle, the brown floor. It is easiest to position using the registration point and then rotate into the correct 3D orientation. I find that it is also easiest to construct the scene looking down from the top of the model so that x and y are xand y, and z is for height, as I did in this tutorial. Figure 2 is tilted with a 3D perspective so that the wall height can be seen.
Figure 2. Vertical wall's rotationY property changed from 0 to 90 degrees
For vertical surfaces like walls, the rotation is like picking up one side of a flat board to make it a vertical wall. Once the wall is positioned, Flash Player handles all of the calculations and redraws for you when you move the viewpoint.
Constructing the 3D object
The sample Flash project contained in the sample file 3dviewcontrol.zip constructs a 3D object in the sample file ModelSprite.as, creating a new Sprite for each wall, floor, and ceiling. The ModelSprite class contains constants for the size and positions of the walls and ceiling, making them changeable in one spot. The ceiling is a 2D object just like the floor, except its z position is decreased to be closer to the user so that it is "above" the floor. Walls are drawn as flat rectangles, then rotated along the x or y axis to stand them up into position (see Figure 2).
UI controls
The file 3DViewControl.fla contains a Stage with radio buttons for the two types of navigation, a button to reset the position, and labels for the Slider that gets constructed in ActionScript. Most construction happens in the file Scene.as when the user clicks either of the two option buttons, which invoke the viewpointHandler() or moveObjectsHandler() functions to set up the two different approaches to changing the view of a 3D scene. With the scene now set up, I describe how each works in the next section.
Navigating in 3D
Your view of a 3D scene is controlled by two variables: projectionCenter, which defines the x and y coordinates of the viewer; and fieldOfView, which defines how wide a view of the scene the viewer sees. Decreasing the fieldOfView value is like zooming in with a camera lens. Both variables are part of the root.transform.perspectiveProjection class.
Moving the camera (viewpoint or projection center)
Changing the view can be done by changing the projectionCenter variables, which is like moving the camera up/down and left/right. In the sample code, the viewpoint is moved in the function doDragProjectionCenter with this line of code:
root.transform.perspectiveProjection.projectionCenter = new
which sets the projection point to the current mouse position.
You can zoom by pressing Shift and moving the mouse up and down, or you can use the Slider on the left side of the Stage. Zooming in is done by setting a smaller fieldOfView value, making the objects appear larger.
Z ordering problem
The sample code has a problem with z-ordering when moving around the scene because re-sorting based on the new zorder is not being done. When viewed from the left, the pink wall should be shown in front of the other walls (which it is), but when moving the viewpoint to the right, the tan wall should be in front (which it isn't). The z order hasn't changed, which means the pink wall is being drawn on top of the tan wall. This problem is solvable by sorting the display list using the z-ordering base on the new viewpoint. The getRelativeMatrix3D method of the Transform class is used to perform this reordering. An explanation and solution to the z order re-sort, titled Using Matrix3D objects for reordering display, is part of the Programming ActionScript 3 for Flash documentation (also linked to at the end of this tutorial, among others).
I added a Timer to continue moving the projection point when the mouse is dragged outside the Stage so you could see a wider range of viewpoint values.
Moving objects on the Stage
The second approach to changing the view is by moving all the objects in the scene and keeping the viewpoint and field of view the same. At first I thought this would involve more calculations but it is as simple as "change the positions of all the objects on the Stage." Flash handles the 3D view calculations—the code moves objects in the x, y, and z planes by setting the x, y, and z values.
Start by clicking the Move Objects option button. Two buttons appear: Pan and Orbit. Select Pan, and you can drag the object left and right, up, and down. A more efficient way of setting more than one variable is by using the Matrix3D class because it performs one calculation with the new values instead of performing the calculations after each value is set. In the code, the moveObjects() function uses Matrix3D.appendTranslation() to set the x and y positions at the same time:
tray.transform.matrix3D.appendTranslation(offsetX, offsetY, 0);
Zoom moves the object closer to the viewer by decreasing the z position. In the code, this is tray.z += offsetY, where a negative offsetY causes the view to zoom in.
I took it further by implementing "Orbit," which is possible only by changing values of the objects themselves. Orbit is an interesting 3D movement, in which the object is rotated in both the y and x axes, enabling you to spin it around and see the sides and back of the object. Simple orbit movement is accomplished by changing the rotationX and rotationY properties, or by using the Matrix3D class to perform the rotations, as in this code:
//Perform both rotations together
tray.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-offsetX / 2, Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
tray.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation( offsetY / 2, Vector3D.X_AXIS);
However, because 3D rotations are not commutative—meaning that the order of operation is important and the code performs both y and x rotations multiple times—the image will tilt. To see this, click Orbit, uncheck the No Tilt box, and move the mouse in a circle. Just as if I had done the same operations with a Rubik's Cube in front of me, I get a tilted image (see Figure 3).
While this is natural, it isn't what I want in an orbit feature, so I added the No Tilt check box, which uses the following code in the function orbitObjects() to avoid the tilt, or z rotation. The code undoes the previous x rotation, then applies the new y rotation and then the new x rotation. This keeps the z rotation zero during all rotations:
//"Undo" the X rotation from previous rotation
tray.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-currentXrotation, Vector3D.X_AXIS);
//Apply the new Y rotation
tray.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-offsetX / 2, Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
//Add the new X rotation to previous X rotation and "re"apply it currentXrotation += offsetY/2;
tray.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(currentXrotation, Vector3D.X_AXIS);
Try moving the mouse in a circle with the No Tilt option selected, and then with the No Tilt option unselected. With it off, a tilt to the object on the z axis appears, even when trying to rotate the object back to its original position. The division by two helps slow the rotation.
The function resetPosition restores the object's x, y, and z original values and sets all rotations to zero.
Where to go from here
Moving objects on the Stage as a way to change a view of a 3D scene is not much more complex than moving the viewpoint. The ability to view a 3D scene and change your view of it opens the door to exploring visual data in useful ways.

Doctrine of signatures
The doctrine of signatures was an important aspect of folk medicine from the Middle Ages until the early modern period. Often associated with the work of herbalists and wise women, it drew upon the belief that natural objects that looked like a part of the body could cure diseases that would arise there. Folk healers in Christian and Muslim countries claimed that God, or Allah, deliberately made plants resemble the parts of the body they could cure. For example, eyebright, a plant whose flower looks like bright blue eyes, was used to treat eye diseases. The use of eyebright for this purpose was still common in the 1700s. Today the idea of 'like cures like' lies at the heart of modern homeopathy.
This belief became known as the 'doctrine of signatures' after the appearance of a book by the German mystic Jakob Boehme called The Signature of All Things (1621). The Swiss physician Paracelsus, an important advocate of the doctrine of signatures, stated that 'Nature marks each growth… according to its curative benefit.' Similarly, the English botanist William Cole (1626-62) believed that 'the mercy of God... maketh… Herbes for the use of men, and hath… given them particular Signatures, whereby a man may read… the use of them.'

Hmmm... since no one had any ideas for posts, I suppose I will just write about one of the loves of my life. There are a few moments in this thing we call parenting that will make you swell up with pride and want to shout from the rooftops how proud you are of your child. One of those moments happened this weekend with my Sadie.
For weeks we had been planning on having our benefit yard sale for Congo. After hearing us talk about it for a while, Sadie asked if she could have a lemonade stand at our yard sale. I think there is nothing cuter than a kid with a lemonade stand. But the kicker was that she wanted to take all the money she made at her lemonade stand and donate it to charity. She came up with it all on her own. She planned it out for weeks. She recruited her great-grandmothers to do an insane amount of baking so she could sell baked goods. She convinced me to buy her cups and supplies for her so that she could make more profit. (I was more than happy to oblige!) She worked for hours making signs and making donation containers. And she talked about how awesome it was going to be to send her money to Africa.
When the day of the lemonade stand rolled around, she could hardly contain her excitement. She woke up at the crack of dawn, set up her table just so and got to work. She poured cups of lemonade, peddled cookies and loaves of bread and made a killing! Her sweet friend that lives next door bounded out his door by 8am to come over and help her. As they watched their donation jar fill up, I heard them talking to each other about how they couldn't believe how much money they were making for Africa! Those kids totally got it. I was so proud I thought I would pop. Their enthusiasm for helping and giving back was contagious all day long. My daughter's lemonade stand project raised almost $200 for children in need!
I want my kids to be smart, but being smart is not everything. I want to teach my kids to excel in their activities, but being first is not everything. But being a compassionate person? Showing love for ALL people? Despite what the world says, in this home, THAT means everything.
It seems strange to say this, but there are so many times I find myself trying to emulate Sadie. To be only 6, I'm telling you- that girl has got her stuff together. She has the patience of a saint. She is completely selfless. She shows genuine love and compassion for everyone she encounters. That girl is going to change the world. She was born with such amazing qualities. Now, if I can only find a way to help her preserve them through those dreaded teenage years...
If you haven't checked out Sadie's blog yet, stop on over. She's quite a hoot. (And to those of you all who have left her such sweet comments or signed up to "follow" her- Thank You! It is so important to foster positive self esteem in our girls and your comments have done just that. You can visit her at http://sadiebugshugs.blogspot.com

Despite recent upbeat data on new and existing home sales, U.S. home prices continued to decline in December due in part to increased sales of foreclosed properties, according to the FNC Residential Price Index™ (RPI).
Driven in part by rising sales of distressed properties and higher foreclosure-sales discounts, home prices declined for the seventh straight month in December and suffered their largest one-month drop during the year.
As markets approach new lows, the 2010 year-end home prices are now down more than 3.4% from January.
Of 30 major metropolitan markets tracked, 23 experienced price declines in December that averaged about 2.2%. Home prices in Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Phoenix continue to drop year-over-year at rates in the double digits.
Meanwhile, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco markets have been among the best performing markets during the year, rising 5.1%, 7.8%, and 8.1%, respectively, from a year ago.
The three California markets continue to enjoy strong year-over-year growth despite the absence of a tax credit in the second half of the year—in stark contrast to many faltering recoveries among markets where the median price decline stood at about -2.9%.
The deteriorating trends in home prices arise, in part, from increased sales of foreclosed properties. As a percentage of total home sales (both new and existing homes), sales of distressed properties have increased steadily in recent months, rising from 23.5% in the second quarter of 2010 to 25.5% and 26.8% in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.
This increase occurred despite a temporary halt in foreclosures by several major lenders concerned with potential legal implications of claims regarding insufficient due diligence. In the meantime, the foreclosure sales discount increased from about 36.5% in the second quarter to 39.2% and 40.8% in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.
More foreclosure sales are expected since various lenders announced in December that they would resume the process. Accordingly, the FNC RPI anticipates further downward pressure on home prices in the coming months.
There is an upside: This trend will reduce the surplus of distressed properties and eventually bring the supply to levels in line with weak housing demand, paving the way for a more sustainable housing recovery later.

Those who like to stay active all year long probably have a basement filled with gear that can only be used during certain parts of the year. So the folks at Signal Snowboards decided to build something that could be enjoyed whether it was balmy or snowy outside with this versatile fly fishing snowboard.
The deck features a removable center channel that becomes the rod's handle and spindle, while its more flexible segments securely stash to the board's surface. And the piece de resistance is a compact fish net hanging off the back of the snowboard for scooping your catch out of the water. While the practicality of the board will raise some eyebrows, it's probably best to ask "why not?" instead of just "why?" when it comes to this creation.

Employment is a relationship between an employer and an employee generally based on a contract, the contract involves a consideration in form of a fixed amount called salary in return of the work done by him. In barpeta it is governed by employment laws like payment of wages act, 1936; minimum wages act 1948, companies' act 2013, industrial dispute act 1947 etc. and terms of the contract....
barpetan law has come out to be quite friendly in terms of employment and salary issues. Provisions of many laws can help the aggrieved employee to get proper redressal against their grievances. Most common issues that are faced by employees are not payment of salary on time, fraud by employers, being laid off without clearing the dues or for unjust cause, unpaid dues etc. most people who have faced or are facing such issues are actually unaware of the existing laws that might actually prove to be helpful for them. They think they don't have enough resources or options to lodge a case against the deceiving employer or there is no or minimal chance of winning such a case as the employer is in the dominant position. There are various legal steps that an employee can take for recovering the salary/wages. The most basic step is to send a legal notice to the employer demanding the payment of salary and damages. Section 4 of payment of wages act, 1936 talks about fixation of wage period w3ithin which salary has to be paid by the employer. Section 447 of the companies act, 2013 deals with the fraud done by the employer. An application under Section 33 of the industrial dispute act is another method of resolving the issue.

Behold the latest goddamn species discovered on Earth! The big male seems to be ready to rip apart your two arms while grabbing your thighs with those lower hooks. You wouldn't be able to scream because he'd be cracking your head with those jaws to eat your brains. Fortunately, fellow humans, these beasts are tiny.
They are Liropus minusculus, a new species of skeleton shrimp discovered in California's Catalina Island by a team led by University of Seville's José Manuel Guerra-García. In reality, they are not shrimps but caprellid amphipods between three to four millimeters long.
It doesn't matter. They will haunt my dreams tonight.

Worst Oscar Hair: Alicia Keys
This hurts me. Very badly. Because I love her. She is perfect. She is kind and smart and she purrs. Michelle says she purrs when she talks. She can purr in my ear all day. Of course she's sooooo beautiful too.
But the hair, the hair is so obviously a fake, some kind of wig/weave/whatever…it made me sad. And worried. Worried someone would knock her over on that packed carpet and it would get moved. A shame too because the mauve looked lovely on her. And the mauve would have been the point of this discussion had we not been so nervously focused on whether or not some dude would slide that thing off.
Alicia changed into yellow for Vanity Fair. Mistake. Thoughts?

Published at Wednesday, April 17th, 2019 - 15:47:39 PM. Wedding Venue. By Adelisa Pohl.
Is the venue available on your special day of the wedding? Some wedding venues are not available during winter season. So, you need to confirm the same. There are also holidays you need to look for. There is no point in selecting a venue which is not available at the time of year you are planning to tie the knot.
Then, from this position you can start to focus your search on wedding venues that befit the general style or styles(s) you have in mind. For instance classic or vintage would tend to lead you toward old historic venues, such as castles or stately homes. Whereas contemporary might lead you toward venues that are more of a blank canvas, such as art galleries. And if you are considering funky or maybe chic, you might focus your search on appropriately styled boutique hotels.

I'm a beginner in Java and I wanted to create a program where I can convert from celsius to fahrenheit but I need to be able to read and process data from a text file also. The text file has 5 lines of text each with different numeric values and when I run my program I'm only able to do a conversion for the first line of text. I know that I should be able to get my program to read all of the lines and do the calculations with a loop but I'm not sure how to do it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Here is my code so far:
import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class CToFConversion { char symbol = '\u00B0'; // this is the unicode "degree" symbol Scanner myScanner= new Scanner("tempdata.txt"); public void readFile(String file_name) { try{ File file = new File(file_name); Scanner myScanner= new Scanner(file); double celsius = myScanner.nextDouble(); double Fahrenheit = 9.0 / 5 * (celsius + 32); System.out.print(celsius + " Celsius is" + " Fahrenheit "); System.out.printf("%5.1f", Fahrenheit); while(myScanner.hasNextLine()){ System.out.println(myScanner.nextLine()); } }catch(Exception ex){ System.out.println(ex.getMessage()); System.exit(0); } } }
I also used another class to run this program, this is the code for that:
import java.io.*; public class CToFConversionLoop { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { CToFConversion conversion = new CToFConversion(); conversion.readFile("tempdata.txt");String file_name = "tempdata.txt"; } }
The text file has 5 lines:

6 Reasons to Install Vinyl Siding on Your Home
If you're looking to install new vinyl siding on your home, there's only one company you should call: ML Best Construction. A family-owned and operates company, their team of contractors are masters of vinyl siding installation. They use the highest quality materials, offer efficient results, and charge affordable prices. For all of your vinyl siding needs, look no further than ML Best Construction!
Whether you're building a new home or you want to update the look of your existing home, you're probably wondering what type of siding material you should choose. While there are several types of siding options, nothing can compare to the beauty, function, and value that vinyl siding offers.
Not sure if vinyl siding is the right choice for your home? Here's a look at some benefits that this type of siding offers and why it's the material that most Long Island homeowners prefer.
It's Versatile
Vinyl siding comes in so many colors, styles, and textures. No matter what type of look you prefer, you can find a vinyl siding that will match your style. From board and batten to vinyl siding that resembles cedar shakes, there are so many different options available. You can even customize the look of your home by incorporating different styles and colors to create a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind look.
It's Extremely Durable
When it comes to durability, no other siding material can compare to vinyl siding. It can withstand heavy winds, strong downpours, freezing temperatures, and extreme sunlight. It resists moisture and won't corrode, it doesn't peel, and it's fade- and scratch-resistant. You won't have to worry about the impact that the constant exposure to the elements will have on the safety, security, and aesthetic appeal of your home when you choose vinyl siding.
It's Easy to Maintain
Vinyl siding is virtually maintenance-free! To maintain the look and function of wood siding, you have to paint or stain it every few years. Bricks, river rock, and other masonry materials also require time-consuming and costly maintenance to keep it, ensures it looks great and functions properly.
With vinyl siding, all you need to do is hose it down once a year and it will look as good as the day you installed it! And, even without cleaning, the function of vinyl siding will never be compromised.
It's Energy Efficient
If you want to lower your heating and cooling costs, vinyl siding is the way to go.
While insulation between the wall studs can help to prevent the loss of heated and cooled air, it can only offer so much protection. Conditioned air can still bleed through wall studs, especially where they connect to the exterior siding of your home.
By installing insulated vinyl siding, you will have an extra layer of protection over your wall studs. Your home will more efficiently retain heated and cooled air, which will not only improve your comfort, but will also lower your energy bills.
It's Cost-Effective
In comparison to other types of siding materials, vinyl siding is about as budget-friendly as it gets! The production and installation is far less than brick, stucco, wood, and stone. In fact, you can save yourself thousands of dollars when you opt for vinyl siding over other materials. And given the wide variety of colors, styles, and textures, you can achieve a high-quality, custom look at a fraction of the cost!
It's Good for the Environment
Since vinyl siding requires very little maintenance, it's a must greener material than other types of siding.
The painting, staining, caulking, and filling that's required to maintain the look and function of other types of siding materials can emit toxic chemicals into the environment. Furthermore, if you choose a certified "green-approved" vinyl siding material, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more!
If you're looking for a beautiful, durable, easy to maintain, cost-effective, and environmentally siding material for your home, vinyl siding is definitely the way to go!
To learn more about the benefits of vinyl siding, or to discuss the options that are available, contact the siding contractors at ML Best Construction. Their team of licensed, insured, and experienced contractors will ensure you receive the highest quality products and improve the overall look and function of your home.

Educate Yourself About Your Heart
The biggest risk of heart disease is not doing anything to prevent it. In fact, nearly 40% of all deaths in the United States are caused by heart disease. Which means, chances are you or someone close to you is at risk. But you don't have to be. Good nutrition, exercise, healthy habits and regular check-ups with your doctor are all part of reducing your risk for heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa Climber's Log
hhsilleck - Jan 9, 2004 6:26 pmRoute Climbed: Watkin Path Date Climbed: Spetember 2001
Hiked in misty weather in early September 2001. I didn't know that a train went to the summit until the fog cleared!
eugeneowen - Jan 7, 2004 9:09 amRoute Climbed: Crib Goch Date Climbed: 26 December 2003
2nd summit; 1st was at the end of summer in 2002; now went up in winter. The 1st part of the Snowdon Horse Shoe to the summit via Crib Goch. Felt like punishing ourselves after an overindulgent Christmas day.....Took us best part of 4 hours to the summit in gale winds, blizard conditions, hale and continious rain. Zero visibility with a map that resembled toilet paper after 1 hour. Thank God for a compass. I really enjoyed the ridge and would love to repeat on a clear winter's day (do these exist in Snowdonia?) after some snow-fall. Took the direct route down as there was not enough daylight hours (and madness) left to complete the 2nd half of the Snowdon Horse Shoe.
Attic Tony - Jul 17, 2003 4:07 pmRoute Climbed: Horseshoe (Crib Goch, Crib y Ddysgl, Snowdon, Y Lliwedd) Date Climbed: 15th July 2003
My 4th trip up Snowdon, this time finally got to enjoy the delights of Crib Goch. Had lovely weather for it (even a little too hot), which might explain why Pen y Pass car park was already almost full when we got there at 8.45am - we were lucky to get one of the last spaces.
This is the first time I've been up here while the train is running - shame about the crowds, but being able to eat a sausage roll in the cafe made up for that!
All in all, a very enjoyable day out.
eugeneowen - May 14, 2003 6:39 amRoute Climbed: Rhyd Ddu Path Date Climbed: 24 August 2002
Soaked by the rain; zero visibilty on top. Better weather coming down with some great views when the sun came out.
HawkeyeHufford - May 2, 2003 12:40 pmRoute Climbed: Pyg track Date Climbed: May 18, 2000
Took the Pyg track going up in poor weather. Got to top in zero visibility. Walked down next to train (on Llanberis path) and caught it (the train) a mile down the path. It was the best $6(pounds) I ever spent as I was very cold. Enjoyed a hot bath at the Victoria Hotel in Llanberis! What a great trip on my first time to Great Britain as I was also able to climb Ben Nevis three days before."

TodoVertical - Dec 4, 2002 2:30 pmRoute Climbed: Walking Path Date Climbed: May 1996
Went to Wales to visit a friend for a week and one morning we hiked up to the top. Very much enjoyable.
stephenz - Oct 7, 2002 3:00 pmRoute Climbed: watkins path Date Climbed: late season 2000
nice day up untill the last steep scree climb. I was extreemly disapoinmted to find so many people at the top after such a seanic climb.
Joe Larner - Sep 25, 2002 10:38 amRoute Climbed: Crib Gough Date Climbed: September 1999
The previos day we had gone up the miners track in pouring rain but the next day was blue sky it was a wonderful climb probably the best mountain I've ever cimbed.
mountainmanjohn - Jun 10, 2002 6:44 amRoute Climbed: Via Clogwen Person Arete Date Climbed: April 2002
Climbed Snowdon five times, always nice.The last time with Mark Rapley (on his 25th time) and Nigel Hoad .
Last time was my second time up The Clogwen Person Arete...its great (grade 3 scramble) and always quiet.
mtn girl sarah h - Mar 10, 2002 7:53 amRoute Climbed: PYG TRACK Date Climbed: 7/3/02
This was our second attempt of the week! The first was two days previous when on reaching the summit 100% cloud cover was a downer! So the weather looked better for thurs 7th and we set off along the Pyg Track. Weather was cool and windy but with only 50% cloud cover we had good periods of sun. A combination of that with less wind in more sheltered spots meant a good increase in temp so one minute hoods and gloves were on and the next minute they were off again! I preferred the Pyg track to the Miners Track due its higher level. It seemed a gentler walk, more of a gradual ascent. I'm not happy with the style of improvements made to the eroded paths here, they have too much impact on the surroundings. I suppose I am a bit of a purist and can't bear this kind of aberration on the landscape. What looks worse? A natural (ever expanding) path worn by the feet of thousands of Snowdon pilgrims or a path virtually tarmacced in places that wouldn't look put of place in some well-manicured nature reserve created by the increasing need (quite ridiculous) for a health and safety conscious environment. Do you get what I mean? I see the need for protecting the paths but isn't the mountain undergoing a process of natural erosion anyway but just taking a lot longer to go about it! Back to the route, the weather had improved significantly by the time we made the summit, all cloud was off the top and this time we had wonderful views. The gift to me was how few people there were on the mountain, we only saw a couple of dozen people. It was an amazing feeling of space and expansiveness standing on the summit in the centre of the horseshoe with the mighty Crib Coch and Y Lliwedd infront of you . Understandably the most visited peak in the UK. A real achievement for me as I am Welsh (and been brought up within 20 miles of the mountain) but had somehow never been up before!
Richard Purchon - Jan 13, 2002 9:17 pmRoute Climbed: all of them Date Climbed: many times
never seen a thing from the top! allways had poor weather. but thats to be expected in Snowdonia
best route Snowdon Horse Shoe in zero vis
Gui Lemmens - Apr 10, 2001 8:50 amRoute Climbed: horse shoe route Date Climbed: 1981
fantastic region.
I made a solo traversée of snowdon via the horse shoe route. Nice climb, not difficult. I was there in april and i was al alone during the all week.
I camp at the foot of snowdon not far from Lanberis pass.

(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States, with an estimated 820,000 new Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections occurring each year. Antimicrobial resistance limits treatment success, heightens the risk of complications, and may facilitate the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to the sulfonamides, the tetracyclines, and penicillin. Dual therapy with ceftriaxone and azithromycin remains the only recommended first-line regimen for the treatment of gonorrhea in the U...

(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse are varied, complex, and often devastating. Many obstetrician-gynecologists knowingly or unknowingly provide care to abuse survivors and should screen all women for a history of such abuse. Depression, anxiety, and anger are the most commonly reported emotional responses to childhood sexual abuse. Gynecologic problems, including chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginismus, nonspecific vaginitis, and gastrointestinal disorders are common diagnoses among survivors. Survivors may be less likely to have regular Pap tests and may seek little o...

Gov. Rick Perry plans to "make clear" that he's in the presidential race Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, when he's due to give a long-scheduled speech to the RedState conference, Politico is reporting.
Perry's office earlier confirmed that he'll head from South Carolina to New Hampshire for a meet-and-greet at the home of NH state Rep. Pamela Tucker, who's hopeful he'll talk about jobs.
The Texas governor, fresh off his prayer rally at Houston's Reliant Stadium, and his staff have been meeting with a stream of potential fund-raisers and making contacts in key states in advance of his expected jump into the presidential race.

The best way to create a small bird friendly garden is simply to give the birds what they need… places to feed, nest, rest and breed. If you design a garden around these requirements, using indigenous food-bearing plants, birds will flock to your garden.
Birds will visit even the smallest gardens, provided that these basic needs are catered for. In other words, you need to create a great habitat (a place that can provide for all these needs).

POLYPHAGOUS SHOT HOLE BORER IN SOUTH AFRICA (Euwallaceae whitfordiodendron): Nobody knows where this beetle comes from. It carries a fungus with it (Fusarium euwallaceae) that grows in the cambium and phloem layers of the tree.

We are on the brink of an ecological disaster, all because of the Shot Hole Borer Beetle. Trees are dying and FABI has indicated that natural control is not in the pipeline at this point.
Judging by the numbers of dead trees killed by Shot Hole Borer Beetles in Johannesburg and Knysna, this could become one of South Africa's worst ecological disasters. While the beetles are primarily encountered in towns, there is a very real possibility, that they can spread out via tree corridors and start killing trees in the veld.

Alzheimer's Association calls on presidential candidates to address looming epidemic
Report reveals 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer's disease
According to the new 2008 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report released today, 10 million baby boomers will develop the disease and in full page ads in the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, the Alzheimer's Association asks the presidential candidates what they are going to do about the escalating Alzheimer epidemic. Currently there is no cure or effective treatment that delays the progression of the fatal disease.
"Leadership from the top is vital and an effective plan to stop this emerging epidemic is necessary to save millions of lives and billions of dollars for the nation's healthcare system," said Harry Johns, President and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association. "Disease-modifying treatments are within our grasp, but an immediate and significant increase in federally funded Alzheimer research is critical to make Alzheimer's a thing of the past."
The 2008 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures indicates that there are an estimated 5.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease, the seventh leading cause of death in the country and the fifth leading cause of death for those over age 65. Experts predict by 2010, there will be almost a half million new cases of Alzheimer's disease a year; and by 2050, there will be almost a million new cases each year.
"Whether it is President-elect Clinton, McCain or Obama – each one must be prepared to address the concerns of the millions affected by Alzheimer's today and the one out of eight boomers who will face it tomorrow. The stakes are high and ending Alzheimer's disease must be at the top of the next Administration's agenda or the consequences will be dire for families, Medicare, Medicaid and the nation's healthcare infrastructure," said Johns.

Dazed and Confused: One Dad on Parenting a Teenage Daughter
I've faced a lot of challenges in my half-century on earth, but being the dad of a strong-willed teenage girl might be the most baffling and gratifying.
If there's one thing I've learned as a father of two kids, it's that valuable parenting lessons are often hiding in plain sight. When my 17-year-old daughter, Grace, was little, we found out that she had a shrunken optic nerve, a birth defect that made her legally blind in one eye. This meant that she would have to wear a patch for several hours a day over the stronger eye so the weaker one wouldn't atrophy. A rebel even then, Grace quickly figured out that all she had to do was reach up and take it off when we weren't looking. Our wonderful doctor said a common solution was to have her wear splints made out of rolled-up magazines and masking tape so she couldn't bend her arms. Marching around the house, she looked like a cute—though cranky—little robot. But it made me sad, and I felt like a cruel father. In the end, though, those thousands of hours paid off, because today she's regained some of the sight in that eye.
I tell this tale to illustrate the kinds of painful choices her mom and I made through the years with Grace and her kid brother, Joseph, that might have seemed draconian when taken out of context. But our hearts were in the right place. When it comes to parenting, my template is this: Restrict when it matters, give breathing room when it doesn't. The catch is in knowing the difference.
There have been plenty of opportunities for me to learn, like the time when 5-year-old Grace said I was stupid and I forced her to apologize. She did, her way: "I'm sorry you're stupid." I laughed, which some might say is wrong. I say it's picking your battles. Also, it was funny. Then there was the time she rode her tricycle through the back door of our screened-in porch and down the stairs, only minutes after I told her to slow down. I heard the commotion and found her in a tangled heap at the bottom of the steps, whimpering, her arms and legs flailing. I was sure she was grievously injured, but she didn't have a scratch on her. I hugged her close, then punished her by letting her watch her Madeline video only five times that day instead of 12. So as you can clearly see, though I also think consistency is a good rule, it's easier said than done.
But past is prelude, and all of those childhood challenges pale in comparison to that ominous storm cloud sitting out on the horizon now, the one that starts with "b," ends in "s," and has "oy!" in the middle. I started noticing not too long ago that guys seemed to be staring at the space next to me when I was out walking with my kids. Then one day it finally penetrated my dumb dad brain: "OMG! They're looking at Grace!"
Even worse, I started remembering what it's like to be a teenage boy. Growing up in the hills of western Virginia, I was that clean-cut kid who said "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am" and got good grades—just the type, I figured, that any man would want to date his daughter. Boy, was I wrong. Savvy, ornery dads saw me coming a mile away. I was a smarmy, hillbilly Eddie Haskell looking for love in all the wrong places—that is, with their little angels. One met me at the back door with a shotgun when I brought his daughter home an hour after curfew. Another brandished an even scarier weapon: Fruit of the Looms. Wearing nothing but his underwear when I arrived, he summoned me inside, then laid down the law from his recliner—do not touch, do not kiss, do not pass go. I was so freaked that the evening went exactly according to plan—his, not mine.
Well, now that Grace is a tall, beautiful, and strong-willed teenager, I understand the protective instinct that drove these dads. And I'd really like to use their lessons to indoctrinate a new generation of boys in how to behave—or not to behave—around her. But even an army of boxer-shorted gun nuts would have a rough time with fatherhood now. That's especially true in my case, since Grace's mom and I split up several years ago, and her mother does the lion's share of the day-to-day parenting. I'm not around all the time to literally guard the door.
And even if I were, that idea is sort of ridiculously passé in 2010 America. The concept of a "date," as people of my generation would think of it, is long gone. Kids are more likely to just hook up in groups and add and subtract from the pod via texting as the night goes along. Tech has made it possible for them to know exactly where their friends are at all times. When I was growing up, my buddies knew if I was out with a girl too, but for a different reason: I had to call my dates on a party line, and my neighbors could listen in. (For you city slickers, in a lot of rural areas several homes still share the same phone line.) But in today's world, all that teen chatter usually flies under the parental radar. And even if I do happen to be around when Grace is on Facebook, she immediately switches to French, which she understands but I do not. It's enough to make a dad shout, "Sacre bleu!" If only I knew what that meant.
Things were simpler in those halcyon days of yore, or so it seemed. There were only about 200 girls in my high school, and that included grades 8 through 12. In that finite pool of dates to pick from, I'm pretty sure about 198 of them weren't all that interested in being "chosen" by a 6'3" guy who weighed 140 pounds and had a head the size of a pumpkin. (For more information on how it worked out with the other two girls, see guns and boxers, previous page.)
But Grace's choices aren't limited by the mere physical boundaries of which town or even which country she grew up in. She's already seen a lot of the world, not all of it good. She's been mugged in Italy, but she's also bicycled across France, and this summer will spend time in Haiti on a Presbyterian mission trip to help build a school for earthquake orphans. Her experiences at the tender age of 17 rival mine at age 49, and that makes my role as an overly protective father (my default setting) a lot tougher. And as the years pass—far too quickly, I might add—she's away from me, both literally and figuratively, more and more.
I try to convince myself that maybe it's all good and that these life lessons will steel her for the road ahead. I sure hope so, because it's hard out there for dads these days. For a man, trying to figure out adolescent girls is more confusing than the continued popularity of The View. In fact, if I wanted to get rich, I'd write a What to Expect When You're Expecting-style guide, only it would be called You Are an Idiot for Buying a Book About Being the Father of a Teenage Daughter Because Nobody Has Any Idea How to Do That.
But as my favorite singer, Lyle Lovett, likes to say, "What would you be if you didn't even try? You have to try." So I do my best to make the smartest decisions regarding Grace from moment to moment. And I hope she'll realize that when I taped splints on her arms and forced her into that Lilliputian cyclops getup for a few years, it was because I loved her. If I've put the patches on the right places since then, she'll march off into the world clear-eyed, confident, and comfortable in her own skin. She'll know that I have her back no matter what, and that if I should embarrass her in front of a guy...well, I'm sorry I'm stupid.

At The Plate – The Cubs didn't do much at the plate in this one, but didn't need to, as the two runs they got in the first were plenty on their way to a 5-o victory. Logan Watkins had a solid day at the top of the lineup going 2-for-5 with a run scored. Ian Stewart, who is trying to make his way back to the big club was 0-for-2 but did draw two walks and scored a run. Brian Bogusevic was 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and a run scored in the win.
On The Mound – Barret Loux was outstanding in this one as he earned his second win of the season. Loux went five scoreless innings giving up three hits while walking one and striking out six. Casey Coleman, Zach Putnam, Rafael Dolis, and Blake Parker all worked scoreless innings to close the door on Nashville.
At The Plate – The D-Cubs never really had a chance in this one as they fell behind 6-0 in the first and could never catch up. Jorge Soler had another solid game going 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, and a run scored, he's now hitting .414 on the season. Dustin Geiger continues to pad his stats going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, he now has fifteen RBI's in just fourteen games. Chad Noble was 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the loss.
On The Mound – Zach Cates didn't have it tonight, and that might be putting it nicely. He could only last two-thirds of an inning giving up six runs on three hits while walking three and striking out one. Hunter Cervenka did a solid job out of the pen going two scoreless innings, he did walk three and struck out one, and didn't give up any hits. Luis Liria was good as well going 3.1 innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking out five. Frank Del Valle was effective as he usually is but didn't have command at all, he worked 2.2 innings giving up one run on three hits while walking five(!) and striking out three. In all D-Cubs pitchers walked twelve men in the loss.
At The Plate – Matt Szczur has had a solid start to the 2013 season and it continues last night as he was 2-for-5 with a triple, and two runs scored, he's hitting .288 and has a .348 on base percentage. Ronald Torreyes as been a house on fire since his return, he was 1-for-4 with a double, and two runs scored, he's hitting .353 on the season. Arismendy Alcantara continues to impress everyone associated with the Cubs, even their fans, he was 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI's, and a stolen base, his sixth in the last three games. Christian Villanueva was 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI's, and two runs scored, his average is only at .204 on the season but he already has twelve RBI's.
On The Mound – Matt Loosen got the start and didn't get the win but did some solid work, he just couldn't get through five innings. He went four scoreless innings giving up four hits while walking two and striking out eight. A.J. Morris came on in relief to record the win as he went three innings giving up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out two. Brian Schlitter shut things down over the last two innings, as he didn't give up a run, he gave up three hits and struck out three. I would also like to thank Born on Third friend Celeste Whiteside @aspenthisyear for sending along the following picture of Trey McNutt from last night, thanks so much Celeste!
NOTES: Kane County doesn't play games anymore, they were rained out, again.
Thanks for reading,

Do you want to know how to see the constellation Gemini in the night sky? We offer you several ways to find it, plus gives you some of the mythology associated with this constellation of the heavenly Twins. Follow the links below for more about the constellation Gemini:
When and how can I see the constellation Gemini in the night sky?
Find Gemini from the constellation Orion.
Use the Big Dipper to find Gemini.
Mythology of the heavenly Twins.
When and how can I see the constellation Gemini in the night sky? You have lots of months during the year to observe Gemini, which is one of the brighter constellations of the Zodiac. The constellation Gemini lights up the early evening sky from January until May, though it'll set in the west two hours earlier with each passing month. As seen from mid-northern latitudes, for example, Gemini stands upright over the western horizon around 5 a.m. local time in early February, 3 a.m. in early March, 1 a.m. (2 a.m. daylight saving time) in early April and 11 p.m. (midnight daylight saving time) in early May.
January and February present a grand time for observing the constellation Gemini because it is well up in the east at nightfall and stays out for most of the night. Gemini climbs highest in the sky around 10 p.m. local time in early February and 9 p.m. in late February. That's local time, the time on your clock, no matter where you live around the globe.
Gemini stays in view in the evening sky on through to May. By late May and June, Gemini is found low in the west-northwest corner of the sky at nightfall, and Gemini's two brightest stars – Castor and Pollux – fade into the sunset by around the June 21 summer solstice.
Gemini is best identified by its two brightest stars, Castor and Pollux. These two are noticeable for being bright and close together on the sky's dome. Like brothers!
Pollux is the brighter of two Twin stars
By the way, Gemini and nighttime's brightest star, Sirius, reach the crest of their travels for the night at roughly the same time. At middle latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, we see Gemini's brightest stars, Castor and Pollux nearly overhead while Sirius sparkles quite low in our southern sky. South of the equator, it's the opposite: Sirius shines way up high while Gemini sits low in the northern sky.
The sun annually passes in front of the constellation Gemini the Twins from about June 21 until July 20. To remember these dates, keep in mind that the sun enters Gemini just after the June solstice and stays within Gemini for the following month. Gemini can't be seen in late spring and early summer in the Northern Hemisphere – or late autumn and early winter in the Southern Hemisphere – because this is when the Heavenly Twins are lost in the glare of the sun.
Find Gemini from the constellation Orion. If you pick out any noticeable sky pattern in the February night sky, that pattern has a good chance of being the constellation Orion the Hunter. On these February evenings, from the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is high in the south.
Orion noticeable for its Belt stars, a short, straight row of three medium-bright stars. Look below Orion's Belt for the very bright star Rigel. See it? Now look above Orion's Belt for the star Betelgeuse. See that? You can draw an imaginary line from Rigel through Betelgeuse to locate Castor and Pollux. Remember, you'll be looking for two bright stars that are noticeably close together.
Use the Big Dipper to find Gemini. This asterism – not a true constellation, but just a very clear dipper-shaped pattern of stars – is always located generally northward on the sky's dome. Draw an imaginary line diagonally through the bowl of the Big Dipper, from the star Megrez through the star Merak. You are going in the direction opposite of the Big Dipper handle. This line will point to Castor and Pollux.
Big and Little Dippers: Noticeable in the northern sky
Use the moon to find Gemini. As the moon swings full circle through the constellations of the Zodiac, it passes through Gemini for a few days each month. Look on the sky chart above to see the ecliptic as a dotted red line crossing Gemini. The ecliptic marks the sun's path on which the sun goes eastward (from right to left) in between the two bright Gemini stars, Castor and Pollux, and the brilliant star Procyon of Canis Minor the Lesser Dog. Whereas the sun passes eastward through Gemini for about one month a year, the moon goes eastward through Gemini for a few days each month.
Because the moon stays within plus or minus 5o (10 moon diameters) of the ecliptic – the sun's path through the stars – the moon travels to the south of Castor and Pollux, and to the north of Procyon as it promenades across Gemini. In cycles of 18.6 years, the moon reaches its farthest point north of the ecliptic in Taurus and just misses occulting – covering over – the star Pollux. In ancient times, when Pollux was a little closer to the ecliptic, the moon used to occult – cover over – this star in centuries B.C.
Mythology of the heavenly Twins. The scroll of the lore-laden heavens represents the meeting place of mortality and immortality, of where ancestry and posterity live together. Certainly, the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux explores the inherit duality of life – of mortality and immortality forever intertwined and perpetually in conflict.
Castor and Pollux were the sons of the god Zeus and their mortal mother Leda. The offspring were a mix of the base and divine, with Castor being the mortal brother and Pollux immortal. The two brothers well portray the dilemma of the human condition, the story repeating itself over the generations. Castor and Pollux were joyfully united in spirit yet sorrowfully divided by circumstance.
When Castor was slain in battle, Pollux was inconsolable in grief, begging Zeus to relieve him of the bonds of immortality. Pollux chose death, so that he could join his brother Castor in the great beyond. To this day, Pollux and Castor stand reunited in the heavens, a tribute to the redemptive power of brotherly love.

$1 Million in Less Than Five Hours: Fans Propel Veronica Mars Movie to Record-Setting Fundraising Highs
Fans of the mid-2000s series Veronica Mars are putting their money on the table to get their much beloved TV-show made into a movie. Donators broke records, raising a million dollars in four hours and 24 minutes. Total funds raised are $1,332,984, as of these words.
This immediate fan response—cash money as well as internet clamor—is a game-changer. The UPN-CW show premiered in 2004 and was canceled in 2007. The Warner Brothers executives who own the rights to Veronica Mars said they would support the film, but only if creator Rob Thomas could prove there was enough interest. All Thomas had to do was ask, with the assistance of crucial cast members, including the show's star Kristen Bell. And while the money is key, obviously, it's also valuable symbolically to big studios with lots of cash—they can use Kickstarter as a barometer of audience interest and investment.
Some have groused that crowd-sourcing fails when people don't think you need money (like famous Icelandic cosmic dust mite Bjork and her Kickstarter flop), the support for Veronica Mars could prove that the fan base just needs to be powerful enough. Though it was a well-reviewed television series that ran for multiple seasons, Veronica Mars has always been considered an underdog. It was critically adored (look at those critic's tweets from earlier today, they're going crazy), but its ratings were low. The watchers were the few and the proud.
Crowd-funding campaigns could be the key to fundraising for established critically-acclaimed, low-rated projects, with a small but proud fan base. Arrested Development would fit perfectly into this model—but its need for support was maybe a few years too early for a Kickstarter campaign so it took a long and storied road to its Netflix reboot.
When the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign reaches $2 million, the film will click into production. The original cast is on board and some of them star in a promotional video that's sure to delight the fanbase. They're also offering all sorts of quirky prizes, ranging from $10 (that gets you a copy of the script) to $10,000 which gets you a walk-on role and comes with great instructions generally for actors with one line in a movie:
"You are the waiter/waitress. You approach the table, and you say, "Your check, sir." We guarantee you will be on camera as you say the line. Unless you go all hammy and ruin the scene and we have to cut you out, but that would be a sad day for all of us. Just say the line. Don't over-think it. You're a waiter. Your motivation is to turn over the table."
