I love this side dish. It's as addictive as french fries and there is no comparing the fat and carbs.
- zucchinis - 3 small or 2 medium
- kosher salt -
- olive oil - 2 Tbsp extra virgin
- balsamic vinegar - 1 Tbsp
- garlic - 1 clove (or 1 frozen cube) minced
- dried thyme - 1/2 tsp
- black pepper - 1/2 tsp freshly ground
- lemon zest - 2 tsp
Trim ends off zucchini and cut into quarters, lengthwise. take a spoon and hold upside down, run along the core to remove the seeds from center. Spread zucchini cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes, blot with paper towel to dry.
Preheat grill to medium. Combine all remaining ingredients except for lemon zest and toss zucchini in mixture to coat. Set zucchini on grill to cook, flipping occasionally until cooked but not too soft, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and sprinkle with lemon zest and any extra vinaigrette.

AURORA - Minutes, even seconds, can make a difference in any basketball game.
Nearly seven weeks can make a world of difference.
Valor Christian defeated Rangeview, 82-80, Dec. 7 in the championship game of the Ralston Valley Roundup tournament.
Chase Foster scored 40 points for Valor Christian and Garrett Baggett hit two deciding free throws in the game that saw a combined 45 fouls called on the teams.
Valor Christian, Colorado's top-ranked Class 4A team, visited Rangeview last Wednesday night and it was a different story from the December game.
Rangeview got revenge in a big way as the Class 5A Raiders smashed the Eagles 78-47 in a game that was never close and had only 31 total fouls whistled.
"What a big difference," said Valor Christian coach Ronnie DeGray. "The first time we played great defense and shot the ball well.
"We didn't shoot well tonight. When you are a jump shooting team and you don't shoot well, it means trouble. Rangeview did a good job, switching defenses."
Valor Christian, which shot 32.6 percent from the field for the game, was 3-of-11 in the first quarter and fell behind.
The Eagles never recovered.
Rangeview built a 16-point lead in the second quarter but Baggett hit a 3-point basket from just inside the midcourt line at the end of the first half to trim the Raiders lead to 10 points.
However, any spark that the half-ending 3-pointer might have provided quickly evaporated as the Eagles made only one field goal in 12 attempts during the third quarter.
Rangeview swelled its lead to 24 points after three quarters.
Baggett, a 6-foot-1 junior, lead Valor with 17 points that included four 3-point baskets. Foster, a 6-5 junior, finished with 16 points.
Larry Bridges scored a game-high 20 points for Rangeview, which improved to 11-3 for the season.
Valor Christian, 15-3, has four games remaining but two are against top 10 teams in Class 4A.
The Eagles next game is Feb. 2 at unbeaten Sand Creek, ranked No. 5. No. 7 Cheyenne Mountain plays at Valor on Feb. 9.
Valor could get a spark with the return of Christian McCaffrey who has played only five games because on an ankle injury. He is expected back in February.

Ryne Roper wasn't too far off of his assessment of Shawnee starting pitcher Adam Pennington when the Harrisburg senior leadoff hitter went down swinging in his first at-bat Thursday afternoon at Dorris Heights.
Roper calmly put his bat and helmet down and echoed these words of advice to his teammates. "He's good boys, pretty good."
Pennington was good - coming in with a 0.00 ERA and 89 strikeouts to just 11 walks in 38 innings pitched - but Harrisburg was just a little bit better in a 3-1 non-conference victory.
Pennington (5-1) suffered his first loss of the season as he gave up three runs on three hits, while striking out six and walking five.
"Penning is fantastic," Harrisburg head coach Jay Thompson said. "He's as good as anyone around here. We just battled and kept the game close until late in the game, he got tired and we squared a couple of balls up."
The big blow for Pennington came in the bottom of the sixth inning compliments of Brady Mayer who jacked a solo bomb over the left field fence to give Harrisburg a 2-1 lead.
Mayer first saw a fast ball away and made just enough adjustments on the second pitch to take the inside fastball yard giving the Bulldogs their first lead of the game.
Mayer finished the game 2-for-3 as Harrisburg improved to 21-3 on the season.
"Brady has had a lot of good at-bats this season," Thompson added. "He's really become an outstanding hitter. He's dangerous, he's strong and he's seeing the ball great right now."
Matthew Phipps helped extend the lead to two runs when he followed Brady's home run with a lined shot to centerfield.
Justin Younger used a sacrifice-bunt, turned error by Redskins catcher Aiden McMahan to score Phipps.
As good as Pennington was, the combination of Sykes Thompson and Blake Buchanan was even better.
Thompson didn't figure into the decision despite going 5.1 innings, allowing just one run on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
Buchanan, who got the win, bailed out Thompson in the sixth, coming in with the bases loaded and induced Justin Goodman to strikeout and got out of the inning unscathed by forcing Michael Crane to fly out to Younger in centerfield.
Buchanan then worked a perfect seventh, finishing with two strikeouts in the game.
It was the second time that Harrisburg was able to squirm out of potential danger as Shawnee left seven runners on base and five in scoring position.
Harrisburg is scheduled to play at Carbondale today (Friday) at 4:30 p.m. and then will head to the Metro East Saturday where they will play Highland, starting at noon, followed by Collinsville afterwards.

Exciting times at the Southeastern Junior Livestock Show held on July 10-13 in Ferron. Friday was the day for judging the goats, sheep, pigs and steers in preparation for the Stock Show Sale on Saturday.
Everywhere in the stock yards and barns children could be seen grooming their animal for judging. Parents could be seen assisting and instructing in the cleaning, clipping, shearing, washing and blow drying the animals. Some grandparents brought their grandchildren to pet the animals and to see the animals up close like in a petting zoo.
In the arena judges could be seen casting a critical eye upon each animal as it passed in review. Family, friends and spectators filled the bleachers and crowded the arena rails.
There were exhibitors entering animals from all over the state of Utah. These are exhibitors that belong to 4H or FFA as sponsors. This is a good thing for children to learn and have the responsibility of an animal.

Mike Gillis Doesn't Want to Make Decisions Hastily or Based on Emotion
Thomas Drance
May 09 2013 02:57PM
Photograph by Jeff Vinnick
During his season ending press conference, Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis was asked by Jason Botchford about Mason Raymond's future with the team, and whether or not Gillis still believes in the speedster. Gillis responded as such:
"We had a lot of success in previous years, now we have to recognize that changes have to be made. I'm not going to commit today to what those changes will be, I think I need more time. I don't want to make decisions hastily or based on emotion."
That was pretty much the tenor of the entire press conference.
Read past the jump for more.
On Thursday afternoon in the media centre in the bowels of what was once called "GM Place," briefly was known as Canada Hockey Place and is now known as Rogers Arena, a humbled Mike Gillis talked about needing to "reset" but not "rebuild."
He talked about a review process that would spare no one in the organization, and gave no definitive answer on Alain Vigneault's future behind Vancouver's bench.
The most definitive nugget he gave us was his strong suggestion that Luongo has played his last game in a Canucks uniform.
There was a somber tone to the proceedings, frankly, and now we're left to watch and see exactly what "significant changes" the team puts into action.
In terms of excuses, Mike Gillis touched on the change in style of play league-wide - even though his club was ironically defeated in a special teams heavy series - and he touched on injuries, and the lockout which made for a "messed up season."
"When I look at every other team in the league, this was such a messed up season from start to finish with the uncertainty of the lockout the repercussions coming out of the lockout - the landscape certainly changed from the summer time to the last opportunity we did have to make changes.
The shortened season had teams competing right up until the last day of the season. So historically some of those teams would've been out signifcaintly earlier and we had limited opportunities to do the things we wanted to do. We had significant injuries the whole year, which didn't help. But it's my job to give the coach the best players we could possibly give him. Regardless of what happened in a shortened season that's my responsbility that's my job"
Implied in that answer is that he failed at his job this season, by his own assessment. Let it not be said that Mike Gillis didn't at least ownership of Vancouver's postseason ineptitude this year.
Still, he didn't talk about blowing it all up and seemed to suggest that the club will more or less stick with their core pieces, "we need to supplement our core group of players that are here as best we can and then look at other possibilities." He also left the door wide open for the organization to retain Alain Vigneault, though he didn't necessarily give him the strongest endorsement either:
"I think Alain is a great coach. I think he's done a remarkable job here in the face of lots of adversity. I can't think of another team that has gone through the tragedies that we have in the last four to five years and done it with dignity and respect."
In summary, Mike Gillis didn't show us his hand today. But that's fine, an early playoff outster gives you extra time for self-evaluation and it's on the organization to make the most of that time. Being deliberate and unemotional going forward is the right approach, even if I thought some of Mike Gillis' comments about rushing prospect into the lineup were a bit odd. We'll see Mike Gillis play his cards over the next few months (and rest assured we'll track it closely at this blog). It should be fascinating, frankly.
The quote that sticks with me from the Press Conference, however, was when Gillis stated that "five years ago we came in here and reset the organization and it's time to do it again." Ignoring the regular season success, and the postseason success too, it seems like Mike Gillis's tenure has come full circle. In his own words: the organization is back to where it started when he found it a half decade ago. I'm not sure that's what Canucks fans were hoping to hear today...
Hey, if my questions are too hard for you to follow let me ask you again simply -
Please tell us how HARD it is to hire a GM, seeing as how you seem to have experience in hiring Hockey GM's?
You say it's HARD hiring GM's, please enlighten us and tell us from your experience WHY? Please also tell us how many people you tried to hire to be the Canuck's GM and why IT"S SO HARD?
I'm looking forward to your answers on why it's so hard. I look forward on your hard experiences on why it was so HARD for you to hire a GM.
Enlighten me, I would love to hear your answer.
Please tell me how the crappy players on the Canucks got there. Please let us know why it's so HARD to replace Gillis , the Sedins.
You sound like you have GM hiring experience. enlighten us, please.
am i the only one sad at the fact that the comment section here has become something like the cdc forums/oilersnation?
Do you want a forum where everyone is kissing everyone elses behind? Where everything has to be sugar-coated? The Team does not deserve more time, more chances as far as I'am concerned. let us save sympathy, chances for things that truely deserve it. The Canucks imo have run out of " get out of jail" passes along long time ago...and so has half the team, the GM and the coach and staff.
@Habs A OK
You're a dumbass, dude.
Chicago, LA and Boston have all won the cup recently and have way better prospects than the canucks, please don't blame the position when you draft guys like Mallet in the 2nd round...
Candid and taking responsibility for the failure of the Canucks. I agree with the style of play that hurt the Canucks. Both GM and Coach failed to see that. AV blending his lines and constantly misusing his players to acquisitions gone south by the GM. It would appear they believed that they had the style and the champions or teams that defeated them were rare in how they played. All winning teams seem to play that way.
Not sure neither Mike Gillis nor Alain Vigneault will be back but wouldnt be totally surprised if they were.
Change is clear and if nothing else i think: Luongo, Ballard, Booth Raymond and potentially Edler are on their way out of Vancouver. Luongo for sure and the rest are just the obvious pickups. Edler might be part of the Bold move they mentioned.
my two cents.
@Wholly comments Batman
lol, Canucks PP worked at the same rate as the Sharks?! Canucks are in the bottom 3rd of the league in PP%, Sharks are top 3rd of the league in PP%... so very similar...
might as well keep it like the previous CA comments and have them completely empty. because that is so much better.
Are kidding? LA had at least 1 top 15 pick in every draft since 2003 Chicago stockpiled tons of 1st round picks in their 10 years of abstinence. Not hard to gain prospects when you have picks
The Canucks havent had a pick inside the top 10 since drafting the Sedins in 99, have had 2 picks at number 10 Hodgson and Bourdon. One is playing the other is dead.
The Canucks might not have a huge pool, and yes having draft numbers does help, but the likes of Tanev, Corrado, Lack, Jensen and Gaunce are looking like very good pickups (drafted or not)
who's fault is that about not having picks in the 1st round and drafting players like Mallet in the 2nd? or trading your own top 10 drafted player for someone who is way more of a project?
there are lots of teams that finish high in the overall standings that finish with low picks that have a way better prospect pool than the canucks still in the past few years. stop making excuses for extremely poor drafting and trading away picks and prospects for bad players (Ballard, Roy, Pahlsson, Alberts).
there are only 10 players every year to be picked in the top 10 and there are another 200 remaining, teams do not need top 10 picks to replenish their prospect pools. they aren't the only impact players and aren't automatic impact players either
only having 5 "prospects" (Tanev isn't a prospect anymore) that may or may not be impact players is not enough sustain a team, seeing as high end prospects maybe pan out 80% and what you just listed, they are not classified as high end at all
Look who's talking. Enjoy another 44 years of sucking, moron. You suck worse than your team. I'll be back next year to tell you once again how your team still haven't won and still sucks like you. LOL

It Is Written
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for hunky soap star Austin Peck. First, his role of Brad Snyder as As the World Turns is coming to an end. Yup, he is being killed off and heading to that big soap sud in the sky. And while the actor's final big story line kicks off this month, he will reportedly air though November ... as a ghost. But as the old adage says, when one door closes, another one opens. And walking through this one could be Peck's big moment!
Last Friday the independent film The Blue Tooth Virgin hit theaters, and Peck is getting winning reviews for his star turn as a sitcom writer who tries his hand at dramatic screenwriting only to make a fatal mistake ... asking a friend for advice!
I spoke with Austin this week. He wanted to clarify that his ATWT demise has nothing to do with his being "fired."
"I think when people see what is coming up with the story line [which facilitates my exit from the show] they will see that there was a lot of time and effort put into it. It was not a, 'Hey, we need to get rid of somebody.' It was story-driven, and it is just sad that my character has to be at the end of it. I think it's the best story line I have seen them do in a long time, and some of the best work I have seen Terri Colombino [Katie] do for a long time. Julie Pinson [Janet] and Michael Park [Jack] also are terrific, as you will see. ... And while at the same time I am flattered to be a part of it, I am sad that I ended up on the cutting room floor! Everybody at the show has been loving, kind, and supportive, and they have expressed their shock and bewilderment at the decision by the show to end Brad. They have been really kind to me."
And that is good to hear, because online rumors circulated around last month's Daytime Emmy Awards that Peck's ATWT castmates did not want him to sit at the official after-party dinner table with them, further fueling the rumor that he was unpopular with the cast. According to Peck, "That is the furthest thing from the truth! I was sitting right next to Ewa Da Cruz [Vienna] and Trent Dawson [Henry] and across the table from Teri, and Jon Lindstrom [Craig] was next to me. I was sitting with my castmates."
And those fellow castmates, the soap press, and film reviewers are singing Peck's praises for his work in The Blue Tooth Virgin.
"We shot it in eight days. It's a simple film and a satire about screenwriting and what happens when a man asks his friend to read his screenplay and what ensues after that. My character comes to a crossroad in his life where he has to make a decision about his relationships in his life, based on where he is at professionally and personally, and about the pursuing of dreams. It deals with the insecurities and neurosis of being creative. I play Sam, and I write the script called The Blue Tooth Virgin. In the movie I ask my friend David to read the script and he hates it. I want to be told what I want to hear -- 'It's fantastic and you're incredible.' Sam had a hit TV show, and he is a writer that is ahead of his time, but he has a lot of personal issues he has to work through, like every single human being on earth."
Karen Black also stars in the film, and Austin says she is pivotal to Sam's existence: "Karen plays a significant part of the film and is at the middle of it. I had one scene with her, and she plays a script consultant/therapist and it's where my character comes to a crossroad. She is great in it and very insightful. The sad part about this film is there is no nudity or violence." [Laughs]
And that 's a shame for gay fans, who have always named Austin Peck's bod as one of daytime's hottest. He tells me no such luck in The Blue Tooth Virgin for his fan base to see Peck's pecs.
"No, my clothes are on in this one, and it could have been played by anyone, and it happened to be me. [Laughs] You know, I have not even been shirtless on ATWT for quite some time, and that's sad because I am in fantastic shape now. [Laughs] Now is the perfect time for me to take my shirt off!"
Austin then had a good laugh looking back on his year as Austin Reed on Days -- no matter what the scene called for, Austin was always sans shirt. "Of course it gets gratuitous. I remember a time when I was on Days of Our Lives and they had me shirtless in every single scene! It got so silly. So one day I just walked out onto the set in a jockstrap and I started doing the scene in a jockstrap with Arianne Zuker [Nicole, Days], much to her chagrin and shock."
So what if Days came a-calling and asked Austin back for a return engagement? Would he consider heading back to Salem? "Oh, yeah, I would go back in a New York minute. There have been some calls. So we shall see. I would rather stay on the East Coast. But, I am optimistic about my future. I hope that soaps will be around a long time, but I don't think so. I think there is a time and season for everything. People ask me about Guiding Light, and I do think it's sad, but the show was on for 72 years. When you talk about the show going off the air, the sad part is all those people are out of work -- 72 years is a damn good run. ATWT is 53 years old, and that is a damn good run. I think people are concerned that ATWT is the last remaining soap owned by a soap company, Procter & Gamble. So the budget for ATWT is not as big as some of the other shows'. But, I think it's the best-written and -acted show on daytime by far, and very relevant."
Who Is Really Daytime's Biggest Cougar?
Men, don't be jealous that a soap star gets to score with young Hollywood studs. If you watched the last two weeks of ABC's new sitcom Cougar Town, starring Courteney Cox, you may have noticed that GH's mob legal eagle Diane, played by the brilliant Carolyn Hennesy, is moonlighting as the ultimate man-crazed "cougar," Barb. I joined some of Carolyn's close friends at an intimate gathering last week to watch the premiere episode. After we all ate popcorn, cupcakes, and Smarties to celebrate, Carolyn and I had a chitchat. I asked her, when she saw herself on-screen on the network debut of the series, what crossed her mind?
"I looked good for a woman of a certain age. I look really good. [Laughs] It's the little comedy bombs that I get to go in and drop that I love. Barb is a very conservative, straitlaced Realtor by day and queen cougar, no pride, no shame, by night." So why does Hennesy seem so at ease playing a lady predator? She tells me when she read it on the page at the audition, she just ... connected with it! "The writers wrote Barb and I connected with her. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Barb has no filter and no morals, and it's a gift to play it and be able to say these things because you can't say those things in real life!"
And what about working with star Courteney Cox? Good experience or bad? Hennesy says it's a mixture of beauty and brains when it comes to Cox. "I did work with her briefly, and my scenes were with her. She is one of the executive producers of the show. So she is pulled in 15 directions at once. Courteney was focused and warm and a generous actress to work with. I am in five episodes mixing it up with her and her on-screen 'boy toy.' I have a scene in a waxing salon that is going to go on my reel. That is all I am going to say. Watch around the third episode."
Something's Fish-y in Llanview ... Again!
On today's One Life to Live, Viki and Dorian's mayoral battle takes on a politically gay turn. Nick (Kyle's current beau), who's very active in the gay rights arena, throws his support behind Viki. So in retaliation, Dorian comes up with an idea when David informs her they need to hire some gay staffers immediately. After David refuses to play gay to enhance Dorian's liberal image in the race, Dorian's problem seems to be solved when Amelia arrives on the scene ... and asks Dorian to meet with Llanview's Gay and Lesbian Alliance. Meanwhile, a student has heard that Nick is gay and asks Nick about it, and then (drum roll, please) Fish warns Kyle about Nick's agenda. Will he listen? Is Kyle being bamboozled by the bedazzling and love-struck Nick?
So what is really going on here? It seems like Llanview is going to turn into soap's gayest town ever! As had been revealed last week in a TV Guide exclusive, Dorian will pretend to turn lesbian and marry her female campaign manager. Their nuptials are set to air October 30 and November 2, and it will be part of a group wedding of 22 same-sex couples. When OLTL's brilliant head scribe, Ron Carlivati, was asked just what he was trying to do here, he stated the following; "I'm not trying to take on the Pennsylvania legislature here! And I'm not trying to preach a certain point of view to anyone. This is a fun story based around an important issue with a couple of good old-fashioned wedding cliffhangers: Will Kyle go ahead and marry Nick even though he loves Oliver? Will Dorian carry through with her fake marriage for political gain and ruin her chances with David?"
And speaking of Dorian, the beloved Robin Strasser has a massive gay following and will be serving as honorary chairperson for the drag ball Marching for Equality ... in Heels on October 10 in Washington, D.C., an event that honors the 40th anniversary of Stonewall and benefits the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Look for my Advocate.com interview with Strasser next week as she celebrates 30 years as delicious Dorian!
Soap Cancellation Report: Is One Life to Live Next? Would Kish Go to AMC?
File this one under "say it isn't so:" Soap fans became quite unglued when TV Guide Canada reported the following item on Monday. "A network insider confirms what DaytimeConfidential.com has been reporting for the last few months. One Life to Live was this close to being cancelled. Thankfully, The Aisha Tyler Show tested poorly with focus groups, which bought One Life another year. ABC Daytime president Brian Frons had to make a 'Sophie's Choice,' and he chose to save All My Children by moving it to L.A. One Life will be cancelled next year barring a ratings miracle. Frons will most likely move Trevor St. John, Kassie DePaiva, Michael Easton, the Kish boys, and maybe Brandon Buddy and Kristen Alderson to become a part of AMC. He will not merge both shows into two half-hour soaps."
However, since that item's posting, ABC Daytime spokeswoman Jori Petersen offered the network's only official response at this time: "In response to Internet rumors that ABC may cancel OLTL, the only upcoming move One Life to Live is making is to the All My Children stage after that series relocates to Los Angeles. This will give One Life to Live more room and increase their production value."
Associated Television International's Jim Romanovich (who I worked with on the Daytime Emmys this year) then made this statement to help fans understand business decisions that may need to be made in the current economic and daytime climate: "I feel if ABC wants the show, they will do what they can to save it. I believe that part of the AMC move to L.A. was meant to save both shows, as I knew one wouldn't survive. It seemed ABC showed great faith in all three of their soaps by doing what they did. I still believe that. If the profit OLTL generates (assuming it does) does not balance out the effort that goes into it, then yes, OLTL may end, just as any show would. ABC is looking at their future and that also means taking the path of least resistance. If OLTL makes a 20% profit on its cost, let's say, and ABC can make that same 20% profit on a talk show in which they also have a vested interest, then which way do you think they might lean?" So what this means, Soapside readers, is that you must watch One Life and keep writing in to the network. At this point, besides ATWT,One Life is really the only other soap showing a full-fledged same-sex story line.We don't want to see this one bite the dust. And besides, it's my all-time favorite soap. I would end up stuffing my face with a box of saltines and weeping if it's no longer on the air. We wouldn't want that now, would we?

Plus ... news from Chappell's Camp Venice: Daytime Emmy winner Jeff Branson is taking over the role of Gina's brother, Owen, from previously announced Daniel Cosgrove. Another former GL pal, Tina Sloan (ex-Lillian) is coming on to play the role of Katherine. Venice head writer and coproducer Kim Turrisi tells Soapside exclusively, "Tina will be playing the ultimate cougar! Will she be gay or straight? Tune in to find out." Crystal and Kim created something specifically with Tina in mind after seeing her at the Daytime Emmys, Turrisi confirms. Look for more of Sloan in season 2. And this week Crystal told TV Guide some vital Venice news for gay fans. "At the top of the first episode, Gina and Ani have just spent the night together. They've reconnected after not seeing each other for a year. So you will see a kiss, but you soon realize that Gina has incredible intimacy issues, and you're left to wonder what's going to happen to them during the series. Will they get back together? Can they get back together? Will other people come into their lives? Like I said, it's a good ol' soap!"
Soaps. Most Bizarre Casting News ... Ever!
My head is spinning from this week's impressive, zany, and exciting casting news! So let's begin and see if you can follow the bouncing ball.
General Hospital dropped the two biggest bombshells. First, motion picture star James Franco (Milk, Pineapple Express) is set for a two-month gig on the ABC soap! James will appear for November sweeps and his first air date is set for November 20. Franco is scheduled to tape several episodes in three days -- October 30, November 6, and November 13. He will play a mystery man who comes to Port Charles. Word initially got out from a series of tweets from The Biggest Loser'sJillian Michaels, her best bud Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda, GH), and GH superstar Steve Burton (Jason), which indicated that Franco could be mixing it up with Jason and Sam. Franco and Burton share the same manager.
Then ABC spokeswoman Jori Petersen went on record as saying, "The only thing I can tell you about his character right now is he is playing a mysterious person who comes to Port Charles who will be Jason Morgan's worst nightmare. James loves to explore the different types of acting that are available and had never done soaps and was really interested in the amount of work soap actors do -- he wanted to try it out," noting that Franco contacted GH directly!
In another jaw-dropper, after more than a decade away, Jonathan Jackson is coming home to GH to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer, which won him three Daytime Emmy awards. Jackson started taping yesterday, and his appearances will beginning airing the week of October 27. But that means soap hottie Greg Vaughan is out! After six years as Luke's number 1 son, Vaughan tweeted earlier this week, "With sad regrets, I will no longer be a part of what has been a big part of me and my families life. GH and [The Powers That Be] have chosen to take [Lucky in] a new direction. I THANK ALL of YOU for the many memories we've shared and new ones to come!"
Next, another three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Sarah Brown, who recently revealed she is leaving GH, has been signed on to The Bold and the Beautiful in a new role as Sandy Sommers, who sounds on paper like a "good girl"... a far cry from Claudia Z. and her evil histrionics in Port Charles. Brown last appears on GH on November 5 and first appears on B&B the next day. Talk about your soap swapping!
Then, finally, ABC announced the cast members of All My Children who will be staying with the show when it heads to L.A. in January. Susan Lucci, Cameron Mathison, David Canary, and Michael Knight are some of the big names staying put. However, leading man Thorsten Kaye (Zach) has decided not to make the cross country move or commute; thus Kaye's last air date will be sometime in November. And veteran Ray MacDonnell, the stalwart Dr. Joe, is retiring from soap duty, putting down his stethoscope, and will not be coming with the show.
Now as for La Lucci, she told the AP that she made her decision a few days ago to stay with AMC, but New York will remain her permanent home. However, Beth Ehlers, who was completely wasted as Lt. Taylor Thompson, is not continuing with the series, and neither is Aiden Turner (Aidan) and Brianne Moncrief (Colby), who were given their walking papers! No comment. As far as a Pine Valley favorite, Ricky Paull Goldin's Jake, he is staying, and in a brand-new interview
on my website, he discusses the AMC move with me and much more!
What is going on at Y&R? While its same-sex story is virtually
nonexistent, I did see Thom Bierdz's Phillip sitting at a table with
the Chancellor family ... where he spoke one line! And what happened to
Yani Gellman's Rafe, the first gay character in Y&R's history? Did
he go upstairs at the Newman Ranch, never to come down again? Only time
will tell what the powers that be are up to with this one. But they really stirred the pot when Eric Braeden (Victor Newman)
was written out of the show last week. Contract negotiations are at the
center of this explosive situation. Braeden's rep tells me, "He is in
talks with the show and may or may not be back." What is happening here,
people? Y&R without Victor Newman? I need a Xanax ... make that two!
Big Brother's Jeff and Jordan Are Soap Stars for a Day!
Last week I spent time behind the scenes with reality show heartthrob Jeff Schroeder, voted as America's Favorite Houseguest, and his gal pal, Jordan Lloyd, season 11 winner from Big Brother. They were filming a scene for an upcoming episode of The Bold and the Beautiful that airs on October 27, in which they take a trip down memory lane with the characters of Donna and Aaron. While everyone around me was drooling over Jeff's model good looks, I took the opportunity to get some one-on-one interview time with the big winners. Check them out, and here are some "quickie" notes from my meeting with America's sweethearts!

Made of super soft cotton, this comfortable, t-shirt-like bra provides support and should be a staple in every new mom's wardrobe.
I have been wearing this bra every day for two weeks and it has been the most comfortable and supportive bra I've found. (I have 18)
This bra has super soft fabric with a really cute design touch in the front. It makes you feel very feminine and is definitely a unique design for a nursing bra. It has great coverage too. But the best part is the amazing price for an organic bra!
- Q: Are the cups padded? Does this bra have a full inner sling, like the 410?
From Adina on 6/26/13
- A: Good Morning Adina,
To answer all three of your emails in one,
None of the cups for the Styles in question have padding. The Styles 470x and 4392 same sling as 410's.Style 365 it is a half moon sling.
I hope this helps!

After facing doubts regarding President Barack Obama's firearms experience, the White House has released a photo of the POTUS in the act.Which canceled show would you bring back?In a recent interview with The New Republic, Obama revealed that "we do skeet shooting all the time," except for his daughters, while up at Camp David, prompting skeptics to question the claim. Now Obama has put his money where his mouth is, with a newly released photo of the president shooting clay targets at the retreat on his 51st birthday on Aug. 4 last year.The photo was released two days before Obama heads to Minnesota to push gun-control measures in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting.

Inconsistent sizing
"So I originally ordered these shoes online in a size 7 but they were slightly too big (I gave them to my sister who loved them). But I had liked the style so much that I bought them again (on-line) but this time in a 6 1/2 and then those were too tight.The back of the shoe also ran a bit high and hit me so that I am sure it would have left a blister if I wore them too long.Like all Rocket Dog brand shoes they run narrow, but that does not bother me.I have a few pairs of Rocket Dogs and I love the shoes but the sizes are very inconsistent so buying them on line can be a challenge..So I will be returning them in store and hopefully I can actually try on a pair that will fit."

Substitute Teacher
by gwilson on Oct.12, 2009, under Uncategorized
Today was one of those days where you are drawn in a million different directions, and yet somehow manage to get it all done. I've had this date circled on my calendar for weeks, as I agreed to step in and cover Dr. D's classes while she was at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in San Diego. Had it only been that simple!
Sure, I was prepared for the lab this afternoon. I should have been after Friday's meeting with Heidi and her lab assistant Amanda, getting all the prep work done Saturday, and all my worrying yesterday. The plan was simple. Heidi and Amanda led the students in the Molecular Cell Biology lab through initial phases of a cloning project. All that remained today was purification of their PCR product, and then my part - helping them get their bacterial cultures going for the ligation and transformation steps to be done next Monday. I got the media made for them this weekend and rehydrated their strains today. Heidi gave me a last minute call from the San Diego airport to ask if everything was fine – yes, we're good to go. Kinda reminded me of mom checking in to see how the babysitter was doing! The students did their work without incident and all work was completed ahead of schedule.
So what's the big deal, you might ask? In the midst of it all, I had a report to generate for a state agency's visit to campus, a prospective student and her family to speak with, several loose ends to attend to for my own class (related to the E. coli in vegetables project and the MRSA study), a SNCS meeting to plan for Thursday, preparations to follow up on for Homecoming this weekend, AND my dog needed a trip to the vet for a skin infection. I've never been known as being much of a multi-tasker, instead reminding folks of M.A.S.H.'s Colonel Winchester who famously said, "I do one thing, I do it well, and then I move on." I find it hard to give my best effort when my mind is split among several needs.
The outcome? I managed to get everything done and get home early enough to empty my tail light of water (did I mention its been raining?). The student and her family were delightful, class preparation was easier than anticipated, planning for later in the week went very well, and I managed to get my faculty moving in the right general direction expected on their state agency report. My dog? Chili is now on antibiotic therapy.
Bottom line? We can do more than we think we can. Time spent helping a friend is never wasted. Everything got done without a panic, without anyone getting yelled at, without sacrificing one thing for another. I got to spend a fun afternoon with bright and talented college students, and you just can't beat that. Maybe I'll have to substitute more often!

ROH - Roderick Strong: Destiny Fulfilled DVD Set
That number is one that haunted Roderick Strong for much of his ROH career because those two digits represented the number of opportunities he had to claim the World Title. That number also represented the number of times he failed to claim the championship despite his power, despite his brutal chops, despite his array of backbreakers, and despite the devastating Stronghold submission, it was a destiny that seemed as if it would forever allude Roderick. Still, in spite those defeats, in spite of what most men would consider setbacks, Roderick excelled in the face of his adversity and remained undaunted in the pursuit of his dream to someday claim the ROH World Title. This is the story of how that dream became a reality...
Picking up where "Messiah of the Backbreaker" left off, this 20 match compilation chronicles the journey Strong took to finally become Ring of Honor World Champion and the collisions with foes such as Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries, Bryan Danielson, and Tyler Black that took him there. In addition, for the first time, Roderick sat down with the ROH cameras to discuss his thoughts and share his reflections on the matches & the opponents that he encountered along the way. Be it KENTA, Jay Briscoe, or Davey Richards, Strong has left an indelible impression on both his foes and Ring of Honor fans alike.
Witness the wars that forged this champion and hear him open up like never before. This is Roderick Strong and this is his Destiny Fulfilled...

I prefer s^3 over snoopy cool but the problem is I can't seem to find the s^3 version anywhere.
p.s: DW isn't finished yet there is alot to come.
"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible, I chose Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small!
Patiently waiting the next release of DW, Claymore, HOTD, ......mmmm others I suppose but those are weekly/bi-weekly at least =(
DW is pretty good if u havent read it i recommend it =o
I love people. Except you, and you, and you...and you.
My Gamertag for Xbox 360 is DatteDeBayoo (Don't judge me, I'm not creative with nametags usually)
Curiosity kills, what you dont know wont hurt you. what you dont know wont break your heart so why do u start. Curiosity kills, what you dont know wont burn you, what you dont know wont make it smart. BAMBAMBAMWHAM GUITAR RIFT BWEEOOOHHHWEEOOOHHHH
My Anime/Manga List
so whats going on with DW ? Was it cancelled ?
Yeah me too! I swear this manga panics me the most about being canceled, because of all the delays or just lack of chapters. And delays are rarely explained anywhere.
HunterXHunter does too but I don't care as much because of its huge gaps of periods in chapters.

Green businesses have an inherent advantage to create a grassroots marketing campaign and gain clients. They have a common denominator that links them to other companies in all industries and attracts the same type of clientele. That common denominator is promoting eco-conscious practices through the manufacturing of their product or the implementation of their services. Consumers that are interested in one type of eco-conscious product or service -- such as a green dry cleaner like Revolution Cleaners, which uses non-toxic cleaning materials -- are probably also interested in another green product or service such as In Season Local Market, which is a market in the Highlands and Littleton that sells locally.
By joining together, you have instantly exponentially expanded your reach in a trusted way to potential clients. The clients of a business such as Revolution Cleaners have chosen a greener dry cleaner and have put their trust in Revolution. They will be much more likely to choose your green business if you are aligned with Revolution.
Through these partnerships, you have other advantages unique to this type of network. It is a new way of doing business, and if consumers are choosing to support green businesses, they are looking for ones that are not green washing and are eco-conscious. By partnering with a green company and tapping into its network, you also have gained the credibility of that company's network by its support of your business.
These businesses also tend to be more receptive to collaboration. The owners generally care about sustainability and are willing to help out other sustainably minded initiatives to grow the movement.
There are a number of ways to create these partnerships.
Join a green business networking group:
Along the Front Range, there are several networking groups. The Green Route, which is an outreach initiative of Green Spaces, the company I own, showcases top green businesses on our map, www.greenroute.com, and creates events to bring consumers to these businesses such as the annual Green Route Festival and Restaurant Tour.
The ReDirect Guide is an annual publication of local and sustainable businesses in Colorado. The guide is free and more than 60,000 are distributed each year. The ReDirect Guide provides one-on-one connections as well as showcasing your business to sustainable consumers throughout the Front Range. http://www.redirectguide.com/.
CORE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping companies understand and implement sustainability practices in their operations. Whether you're a small start-up or an established enterprise, from supply chain to clean energy to social responsibility, CORE is the primary resource. http://www.corecolorado.org/.
Denver Green Streets is Metro Denver and Colorado's green, eco-friendly and sustainable online magazine and directory featuring local events, news, local and national columns, Green Streets TV, jobs and more. http://www.denvergreenstreets.com/.
Co-promote marketing materials and logos
Swap logos for each other's websites with a hyperlink directing traffic to partner websites and ask them to do the same for your business. This not only increases traffic to your site and raises your visibility, it also ranks you higher on Google Search Engine results. You can also swap logos for a partner section on your brochure and other marketing materials. Ask your partners to do the same for you. Setting up an area in your business for partner materials is another great way for you to promote your partners and promote your business at their location. This is especially true for green businesses with a high amount of foot traffic such as restaurants and entertainment venues.
Create a newsletter and promote partners
Creating a online newsletter and sending out monthly updates is a great way to stay in front of your clients. By showcasing your partners, you are adding value to your newsletter by creating additional depth. It is a lot easier filling a newsletter with great news if you can include content by your partners. At Green Spaces we have monthly newsletter that announces our upcoming events and our partner events. We also announce all new members and partners of our space. Partners will be more likely to help promote your business the more you promote their business.
Host a combined networking event
By hosting a networking event with your partners, you are able to create momentum to market each other's business. All partners involved have an incentive to get the word out about the combined event to their networks. You also have an opportunity to meet face to face with partner clients. There are many combined themes that you can do better together. For example, we frequently partner with the ReDirect Guide on our EcoPreneur Workshops, these workshops provide practical knowledge for start-ups and are led by our member organizations.
These are just a few tips to get you started. We have built our client base at Green Spaces through partner networking and now have over 60 businesses that are members of our space. This marketing has been free and has created a network that has sustained and grown our business.

Under Secretary Concannon Visits Riverside for Farmer's Market Salad Bar Program 5th Anniversary
USDA Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Kevin Concannon
On Friday, I had the opportunity to join a celebration of the 5th anniversary of Riverside Unified School District's internationally recognized Farmers' Market Salad Bar Program in Riverside, Cali. The successful program began as a pilot farm to school salad bar program and today provides healthier options on the menus in the Riverside School District.
The salad bar program at the Riverside Unified School District provides a unique opportunity for students to not only enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers but to also grow their own produce. The partnership among schools, community, and local and state government is essential to building healthy dietary behaviors for our nation's next generation.
I enjoyed meeting Rodney Taylor, school district director of nutrition services, who is often referred to as the "King of Farm to School." Taylor revolutionized food service in the school district, providing high-quality meals cooked from scratch using locally-sourced ingredients at the middle and high schools. Twenty-nine of the district's 30 elementary schools offer a daily farmers' market salad bar. Thirty-three percent of the elementary students choose the salad bar for lunch. Since the program started, lunch participation has increased from 47 to 65 percent.
The Farm to School program at Riverside Unified School District is not just limited to the lunch tray—students also learn from a registered dietician about the benefits of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Local farmers also visit and help students understand how and where healthy foods come from.
"We are excited to celebrate this milestone with the entire community," said Taylor. "Five years ago, we began an incredibly ambitious project to bring fresh produce to as many students as possible. The Farmers' Market Salad Bar program has allowed us to do just that."
As part of the USDA's Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative, members from the USDA Farm to School Team will visit Riverside Unified School District. During their visit, the team will work with local farmers, local and state authorities, school districts, and community partners to learn about Riverside's farm to school efforts, including how the activities first began, the relationship between growers and the school district, what obstacles exist or were faced along the way, and the benefits the activities have had on the school and the community.
USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon chats with Emerson Elementary School's Green Team students.
Emerson Elementary School Green Team students volunteer their lunch recess to work in the garden (composting, planting, exploring and experimenting) each day with a passion.

Posted on 10/11/2008 11:54:16 AM PDT by bobsunshine
Sen. John McCain's 2006 demand for regulatory action on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have prevented current financial crisis, as HUMAN EVENTS learned from the letter shown in full text below.
McCain's letter -- signed by nineteen other senators -- said that it was "...vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac]...operate in a safe and sound manner.[and]..More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event that either...should fail."
Sen. Obama did not sign the letter, nor did any other Democrat.
(Excerpt) Read more at humanevents.com ...
I hope the McCain campaign is making commercials...and, yes, I am a contributor.
I agree. As a contributor I also want to see this put into a commercial with the important language highlighted and the letter should be available on the McCain/Palin website. This is good stuff and McCain needs to mention it every chance he gets.
Didn't you know...the Fannie and Freddie debacle was McCain's fault because of deregulation???
What I'd like to see is a copy of the letter Obama claims to have sent someone warning about the Fannie/Freddie problem. He's made that claim a couple of times and no one asks for proof.
Libby sure has a pretty signature!
McCain was public enemy #1 around here at that time!
Good to see folks are catching up with the Hawkman's knowledge. If folks would have spent less time sniffing Fred "West Hollywood " Thompson's jock and taking an American hero seriously we would not be in this mess now.
Admittedly, we would probably still be in a different mess...
Why hasn't the campaign made this public. Are they afraid of insulting O ?
I have seen the letter, tsmith. Someone posted it here, though I can't remember who.
What it had to do with was calling for some kind of "summit" (he likes that word) to keep people in houses that were being foreclosed on, and nothing to do with reining in Fannie and Freddie, if I recall correctly.
He can't even produce a legitimate copy of his birth certificate.
Here's the question that needs answering. Obama Claims he sent letters to lots of department heads warning of the financial problems to come. Those documents need to be produced!
Email the copy of the actual letter to everyone!!!!
"Heres the question that needs answering. Obama Claims he sent letters to lots of department heads warning of the financial problems to come. Those documents need to be produced!"
I saw one, think it was posted on FR. There was no warning in it except to say that his poor minority voters can't be excluded from the scam.
That's the way I remember Obama's letter as well, Bahbah.
Thanks, AuntB.
As usual, Obama is lying...yet again!
A postscript to this type of usual
conveniently- discovered CYA letter could very well go on to say:
"We in Congress have already done all that we can to ramp up these no income verification subprime loans for our banking buddies by enabling a large influx of
illegal immigrants."
For the life of me, I have no idea what they're thinking.
I think events and the antics of Congress have made it impossible for them to get their message out—with a 'little help' from the MSM.
If we had Fred Thompson as a candidate instead of the liberal McCain.....I suspect you're right! We would NOT be in this mess right now.
Are you "The Hawkman"? Wow!
Have another cup of ego, schmuck.
OOOHHH so angry.
Take a chill pill, throw your feet up, and plop "Baby's Day Out" in the VCR.
Was it posted as a thread or just a post within another thread?
I think it had its own thread.
Too late to matter. McCain should've brought it up in the first debate. Instead he undermined his own preparation for the debate and looked like a dunce and got whaled for the first 30 minutes.

|In response to Re: Concrete backing wall for tile
: : : : : I am currently remodeling my bathroom and just removed bathtub surrounding tiled walls (the wall had tiles to about 5 feet and the rest was painted wall. I only removed the tiled wall, keeping the painted portion untouched). When I install new concreat backing for new tiles, should the surface be flush with the painted wall or the concreat backing should be sticking out? If the surface of concreat walls should stick out, by how much?
: : : : Flush between both walls is best.
: : : Here's another slant on your project. I'm also doing a re-model on my bath and tore out an old fiberglass enclosure. This exposed the studs which I discovered were out of plumb. I added some new studs alongside the old ones allowing me to "plumb" the wall now. I matched the top of the stud to the existing sheetrock so they are flush also at the joint. Then I will add 1/2"x3'x5' sheets of WonderBoard or Hardibacker Board (both are concrete type backer board). I then will place it over the prior surface so it projects above the surface 1/2". This will give the appearance of a regular mortar bed for the new tile. I think it looks better than placing the tile flush on the old surface. This would be what a professional tile job would look like. They make a radius bullnose for the raised surface as opposed to a standard surface bullnose for a flush surface. Good luck!!
: : P.S. Also remember to use a vapor barrier under your concrete board such as roofing felt or Aquabar which is handled by tile stores and Home Depot. You can "fur out" your old studs with 1/2" plywood to match up to the existing 1/2" sheetrock and then place your new Wonderboard over this.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:54 PM GMT on September 28, 2010
Pressures continue to fall over the Western Caribbean this morning as a strong tropical disturbance (96L) organizes. Surface observations suggest that 96L has a large circulation covering most of the Western Caribbean, as evidenced by winds out of the southwest sustained at 29 - 34 mph observed at Buoy 42057 to the southeast of 96L's center this morning. Rotation of 96L can be seen on radar loops out of Pico San Juan, Cuba, and well as satellite imagery. The heavy thunderstorms are currently quite disorganized, but are bringing torrential rains to the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Cuba, and Honduras. A Personal Weather Station in George Town on Grand Cayman Island has picked up 3.64" of rain in the twelve hours ending at 8am this morning. 96L is not the typical sort of disturbance one sees in the Atlantic, since it is much larger than normal. What has happened is that the atmospheric flow pattern of the Eastern Pacific has shifted eastwards into the Western Caribbean, bringing in the Eastern Pacific ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone, a region of converging surface winds that creates a band of strong thunderstorms). 96L resembles the "monsoon depressions" common in India's Bay of Bengal or the Western Pacific. A monsoon depression is similar to a regular tropical depression in the winds that it generates--about 30 - 35 mph near the outer edges (and usually stronger on the eastern side of the circulation.) Monsoon depressions have large, calm centers, and can evolve into a regular tropical storms, if given enough time over water to develop a tight, closed circulation. The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to fly into 96L this afternoon near 2pm EDT to see if it has become a tropical depression.
Figure 1. Morning radar image of 96L. Image credit: Cuban Institute of Meteorology.
Forecast for 96L
Because 96L is so large and lacks a well-defined surface circulation, it will take more time than a typical disturbance for it to spin up into a strong tropical storm. Given that the steering currents are expected to pull 96L north-northeastwards over Cuba and into South Florida and the western Bahamas on Wednesday, the storm lacks sufficient time over water to be any stronger than a 55 mph tropical storm for Florida. I think the top winds in Southeast Florida are likely to be in the 30 - 45 mph range on Wednesday. By the time 96L makes landfall in North Carolina or South Carolina on Thursday morning or afternoon, it could be as strong as a 55 - 65 mph tropical storm, but I think it is only 20% likely that 96L will make it to hurricane strength on Thursday. The primary danger from the storm is heavy rainfall. A potent upper-level low and stationary front over the U.S. East Coast have been bringing moist, tropical air from the Caribbean northwards over the past few days, bringing heavy rains that have saturated the soils. Wilmington, NC received 10.33 inches of rain yesterday, its second greatest one-day rainfall since record keeping began in 1871. Only the 13.38" that fell during Hurricane Floyd on September 15, 1999 beat yesterday's rainfall total. With 96L expected to bring another 6 - 8 inches of rain to the region later this week, serious flooding is likely, and flash flood watches are posted for the North Carolina/ South Carolina border region. South Florida is also under a flood watch, for 3 - 5 inches of rain. Flooding rains of similar magnitude can also be expected in Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and the Western Bahamas through Wednesday night.
Figure 2. Radar-estimated precipitation since Saturday for the North Carolina/South Carolina border region. Widespread rain amounts of 5 - 10 inches have occurred.
Figure 3. Forecast precipitation for the 5-day period from 8am today through 8am EDT Sunday, October 3, 2010. Image credit: NOAA Hydrometeorological Prediction Center.
Elsewhere in the tropics
Once 96L moves out of the Caribbean, the GFS model predicts that the Western Caribbean will "reload" and produce another tropical disturbance capable of developing into a tropical depression late this week or early next week. The other models are not showing this, but do predict a continuation of the disturbed weather pattern over the Western Caribbean. A second disturbance, if it develops, would be subject to similar steering currents, and may also move northwards across Cuba, Florida, and the Bahamas, then up the U.S. East Coast. This second disturbance might be more dangerous, since it would be dumping heavy rains on regions already drenched by 96L.
Hottest day in Los Angeles history
The mercury hit a blistering 113°F (45.0°C) at 12:15 pm PDT yesterday in downtown Los Angeles, making it the hottest day in Los Angeles history. It may have gotten hotter, but the thermometer broke shortly after the record high was set. The previous record in Los Angeles was 112°F set on June 26, 1990; records go back to 1877. Nearby Long Beach tied its hottest all-time temperature yesterday, with a scorching 111°F. And Christopher C. Burt, our new featured blogger on weather records, pointed out to me that Beverly Hills hit 119°F yesterday--the hottest temperature ever measured in the Los Angeles area, tying the 119°F reading from Woodland Hills on July 22, 2006. Yesterday's record heat was caused by an unusually large and intense upper-level high pressure system centered over Nevada that generated winds blowing from the land to the ocean, keeping the ocean from exerting its usual cooling influence. Remarkably, Los Angeles had its second coldest summer on record this year, and temperatures just five days ago were some the coldest September temperatures in the region for the past 50 years.
The remarkable summer of 2010
Wunderground is pleased to welcome a new featured blogger--weather historian Christopher C. Burt. Chris is a leading expert in the U.S. on weather records, and is author of the world's most popular weather records book published to date, Extreme Weather: A Guide and Record Book. He's spent a lifetime collaborating with like-minded individuals from around the world, and no one--including official sources such as the National Climatic Data Center and the National Extremes Committee--has done as thorough a job correlating the various weather records available and determining the most accurate extreme values of such. Each month he'll be reporting on the notable records for heat, cold, and precipitation set world-wide, and his first post takes a look at the remarkable summer of 2010. It's great to have someone like Chris who stays on top of weather extremes, and I hope you'll pay a visit to his blog and welcome him to the wunderground site!

*** The color of unpainted plastic body work will be gray. The color of the plastic we send will also depend on which color of ABS material the manufacturer uses. Color choice is selected at random and color may be different from our website. Because the unpainted plastic body work is a semi-finished product, some imperfections will appear such as scratches and injection point. Please reprocess before doing the paint job.
