Tim Shumaker grew up the middle child of three with an older brother and a younger sister. A nightstock clerk at a supermarket just outside of Pittsburgh, Shumaker always dreamed of being a writer. He started at just 16 years of age and has written over 40 novels since then, writing most of them out by hand. Inspired by superheroes, comics, and stories of the supernatural, Shumaker's first published work, Screwed Up World, imagines how a group of teenage friends would face the zombie apocalypse. Shumaker confesses, "Most of these ideas come from dreams; I don't know how it works – it just happens," and the stories come to life. Writing is his creative outlet, but Shumaker also collects toys of everything from super heroes to Lost in Space and The Lord of the Rings. Currently, he actively collects The Walking Dead toys and uses them to recreate scenes from the show.

Preference for multirole offshore-patrol vessels, sealift capability, and coastal/inshore patrol craft sits well with our strategic objectives. So do many projects aimed at improving maintenance capacity and developing new bases to reduce our response time. Enhanced capacity for remote maritime domain surveillance is also a critical focus in the exploitation of new technologies. In addition to recent activation of new platform construction locally and abroad, we rely on excess capacity releases from friendly governments. Significantly, future acquisitions will be guided by joint-venture arrangements aimed at achieving cost savings and using local production capacity.
Apart from improving personnel efficiency, the objectives of the ten-year program recognize interagency and internavy cooperation. The predominant requirement for policing operations propels the current drive for effective synergy with sister armed services and relevant national agencies. The relationships emphasize efficient operational coordination and resource sharing. So far, the new mechanisms are encouraging. The presence of Nigerian patrol ships in the Republic of Benin waters since September 2011, under the combined antipiracy Operation Prosperity, reinforces our practical commitment to internavy synergy. The same goes for our active participation in the annual Exercise Obangame with neighboring navies to the east. We hosted the 2012 edition in February.
In sum, the Nigerian Navy looks forward to improved support for its recapitalization program while remaining committed to optimal exploitation of cost-effective technologies and efficient partnerships.

The past few months have been a roller coaster of highs, lows, moments of quiet anticipation and periods of hair-on-fire PANIC. But I'm happy to report that we signed the final papers (from Mexico) to close on our new home last week.
We dubbed it the "Kitty Cat House" because the peaks in the roof and the front windows reminded us of a kitties face. We knew right away it was the perfect home for our family but we had to overcome a few hurdles (credit clean-up, competing offers, IRS delays, miscalculations) before we put pen to paper. Fortunately, the house gods smiled upon us and we made it through!
Welcome to our new home :).

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources will convene the South Carolina Drought Response Committee on Monday, June 30, 2008, at 10:00 AM. The meeting will be held at the Ramage Conference Center, 1001 Bluff Road, State Farmers Market in Columbia.
The purpose of the drought meeting is to evaluate the drought status statewide. The committee will review climatic data, streamflow and lake level data, and drought impacts. Local response to the on-going drought will also be reviewed to determine if additional actions are needed to insure sustainable water supplies. The S.C. Drought Response Committee maintained the drought status at "severe" for 12 South Carolina counties ranging from the Upstate to the upper Savannah River basin. Fourteen counties were downgraded to moderate while 20 were lowered to incipient on April 17, 2008.
If you have any questions, please contact me, 803-734-9568 or email at email@example.com.
The S.C. Drought Response Committee met April 16, 2008, in Columbia and decided to maintain the drought status at "severe" for 12 South Carolina counties ranging from the Upstate to the upper central region of the state. Fourteen counties were downgraded to moderate while 20 were lowered to incipient. Since September 2007, the drought status was at "severe" for all South Carolina counties except Jasper and Beaufort. The committee is concerned that the public believes that recent rainfall over the past 60 days has completely alleviated the drought. These rain events, however, have not been enough to ameliorate the drought impacts on some streamflows, ground water, and reservoirs. The counties that remain in the severe category are Abbeville, Anderson, Chester, Cherokee, Greenville, Lancaster, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg, Union, and York.
The counties downgraded to moderate drought include Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Colleton, Edgefield, Fairfield, Greenwood, Hampton, Kershaw, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, and Saluda.Twenty other counties throughout the state were lowered to incipient drought status.
Many streamflows throughout the state, such as the Edisto and Waccamaw, while not at normal levels have improved and are not in drought, while other rivers such as the Saluda are at the moderate drought level said Masaaki Kiuchi, SC Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Hydrology Section. Several reservoirs have shown remarkable improvement, notably Lakes Marion and Moultrie, but they still remain 0.7' below normal. Groundwater in the Upstate varies from recovered to very low with the Coastal Plain in recovery.
Darryl Jones, with the SC Forestry Commission, said they are mostly concerned with the ongoing dry conditions in the Upstate or mountain region since moisture content inside larger fuels (i.e., downed logs) remains very low. He considers the rest of the state under control for forest fire. Jones stated drought conditions over the last year resulted in 2,800 fires and 17,000 acres burned, which exceeded their 10 year average for wildlfires.Jim Witkowski, International Paper and the Industry Representative from the Central Drought Management Area, said, "We do want to emphasize that drought is a long-term condition. Our actions were based on those effects and we shouldn't react to the short-term rainfall levels."
Steve de Kozlowski, Interim DNR Land, Water and Conservation Deputy Director, "The public sees the rainfall we've had over the last few weeks and wants to know why we are still in a drought. While many parts of the state have received above normal rainfall, many areas have not. Lakes such as Hartwell and Jocassee are still well below normal heading into the summer months. In addition, while we have observed some improvement in groundwater levels the recovery is slow." The committee will meet again in June to determine the drought status going into hotter summer months when rainfall is expected to decrease.
The S.C. Drought Response Committee commended water systems that have taken action to conserve water and encouraged all systems to continue the message of water conservation. DNR protects and manages South Carolina's natural resources by making wise and balanced decisions for the benefit of the state's natural resources and its people. Find out more about DNR at www.dnr.sc.gov. Please contact Hope Mizzell, SC State Climatologist, if you have additional questions, 803-734-9568 or cell: 803-466-0814.

We haven't seen many of automakers' Super Bowl ads so far. But we probably will.
The argument seems to be that putting your ad up on the Web in advance is free, so why not get the additional exposure?
True, no doubt. But, for me at least, the flood of online previews last year created an awkward situation on game day.
Many of the spots posted before the game were long versions -- 60-second, 90-second mini-films. And they were generally quite good.
You had the Jerry Seinfeld quest to buy the first Acura NSX, for instance. There was the wild Kia dream sequence, Volkswagen's "The Dog Strikes Back," and Chevrolet's goofy "Happy Grad." The humor had time to develop, moving among multiple scenes, or, in the case of the Chevy spot, just letting a funny set-up develop.
Then came the game itself, with its hyper-expensive advertising slots. Those witty, outlandish 60-second and 90-second spots were crunched down to 30 seconds. It showed.
The pacing became jerky -- 90 seconds of storyline stuffed into a 30-second sack, so to speak. Without a proper set-up, the humor from the longer versions was abrupt, even mystifying… "So, um, why was Jay Leno on top of a Manhattan building in a flying-squirrel suit?"
It appeared that the ads had been developed for the Web, with the Super Bowl version as an afterthought. A very costly afterthought, actually.
Perhaps it's not surprising that the biggest game-day buzz was created by Chrysler with its Clint Eastwood sermonette. That ad, lest we forget, ran at its full two-minute length. And it wasn't previewed online.

For more than a century, Boschetto's Bakery, a tiny shop tucked away on Salem Street in Boston's North End, has entranced passersby with the aroma of freshly baked bread late into the night.
The bakery, founded by Italian immigrant Andrew Boschetto, will bake its last loaves — as well as cookies and pizzas — on July 6 and close because of unmanageably high rent, as a notice reads on the red- and green-lettered storefront at 158 Salem St.
Owners believe the shop's brick oven, which dates to 1895, is the last one of its kind in all of the North End. As the bakery's days of operation dwindle, locals are lamenting the disappeareance of a beloved neighborhood fixture.
"I'm going to miss that smell of fresh bread. There wasn't a night they weren't here," said Angela Aquilino, who was born and raised in the North End and is now in her 60s.
"It's so sad," said 75-year-old Louis Cavagnaro, a lifetime neighborhood resident. "I was here when there were cobblestone streets, and the bakery was here before me."
Co-owner Mhamed "Ahmed" Idroui, who has run the bakery since 2000, said the business simply couldn't keep up with increasing rent. He and his partner, Bartolomeo De Stefano, have decided not to renew their lease.
"We've cut salaries before, and some weeks Bart and I didn't pay ourselves," Idroui said. "But this time we can't do more.''
De Stefano, who immigrated from Italy in the late 1950s, began sweeping Boschetto's floors as a schoolboy. In a few years, he was baking, and at age 75, he still comes in to work at 6 p.m. every evening to begin preparing rolls and cookies until dawn breaks the next morning.
De Stefano's daughter, Rita, said owners believe the shop is 110 years old. "This bakery is my father's heart and soul; it is all he has known," she said.
Rita, 36, who helps at the store during the day while her father sleeps and prepares for the night shift, remembers helping him bake rolls late into the night as a girl, so little she had to stand atop a milk crate to reach the oven.
She added it is the locals that she will miss most. "I know their orders like the back of my hand. Some of them have been coming in here for over 50 years," she said.
One of those customers is 74-year-old Sam Garofalo. He said his mother sent him to the bakery every day after school to pick up two loaves of bread — one for dinner, and one for lunch the next day.
"I feel lousy. I'm really going to miss this place," he said. "I guess people just don't eat bread like they used to."
The Italian breads, Idroui says, are the shop's specialty. In the bakery's heyday, they baked more than 1,500 loaves a night.
North End resident Ruth Weber recalls that years ago, her daughter's soccer team was on the way home to a sleepover party when they peeked in Boschetto's window to watch the bakers work.
"They invited all 17 girls inside and gave them a tour of the kitchen, showing them all the machines and explaining how the bread was made each night," she said.
As locals Tuesday streamed in and out of the standing-room-only shop, a spare room with pink walls and a print of Da Vinci's "The Last Supper," they pointed out their favorite goodies in the glass display: dainty raspberry cookies, sesame biscuits, and lemon and fig squares among them.
Garofalo swears by the anise biscotti. "They're the best in the whole North End."
Although Boschetto's retail operations will shut down, Idroui said he will continue his wholesale business in partnership with nearby Parziale's Bakery on Prince Street.
"The bakers around here have always been friends," said Parziale manager Maria Siciliano. "If one bakery runs out of flour or yeast we always let them borrow. . . . It's sad to see another local business go down."
Idroui said the lease he was offered by property owners, who are based in Argentina and could not be reached for comment, was close to quadruple what he was previously paying.
"It is frustrating to see middle class owners being priced out," said City Councilor Salvatore LaMattina, who represents the North End, Charlestown, and East Boston.
North End realtor Philip Celeste, whose office is across the street from Boschetto's, said the increase in neighborhood property values is due in part to the 2008 housing crisis. Then, professionals who were locked out of the mortgage market began to lease North End apartments at higher rents than university students had previously been willing to pay.
"As rental incomes went up, property values went up in tandem, so the North End is somewhat in a boom," he said.
But as business prospers, some locals remain nostalgic. "There's hardly anything left of the original North End; it's sad to see another place gone," Cavagnaro said.
Smiling as he elbowed owner Idroui behind the counter, he asked, "Do you think he'll give me one last cookie?"Alyssa A. Botelho can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter at @AlyssaABotelho.

Music Lyrics

and More...
The Ataris
Perfectly Happy
Won't be another statistic...
Won't be a minority...
I'll achieve every goal I have...
there's not a thing I can't be!
Just as long as I am happy,
that's all that matters to me.
I'll walk away from this place
on that unhappy day that I have to follow rules,
this so-called book you go by
was written for a fool!
Maybe now you understand
life from my point of view,
I've got my head on straight
and have no urge to be like you!
Oh sure I strive for a better life.
But, is that so fucking wrong???
Change in my pocket...
girl by my side...
perfectly happy.

Lipscomb Bisons soccer coach Charles Morrow got a chance to look at several of his new players in action on a muggy Friday night in an exhibition game with Christian Brothers at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
Morrow played 26 players in the 1-0 loss to Christian Brothers.
"I wish the game had been longer," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "I could have gotten a better look at some of the newer players.
"We didn't like the outcome, but we got exactly what we needed out of the game. I was somewhat pleased with our possession of the ball. But we need to play smarter in the defensive third and we need to make better decisions in the attacking third. And those are two different games."
Freshmen Patrick Walsh and Brent McGee each played one half in goal. Walsh played the first half. Walsh faced nine shots in the first half, with only one shot on goal. He was credited with the Bisons only save of the game.
Brent McGee allowed the goal at the 47:32 mark of the game. Midfielder Zach Tubinis took a shot from approximately 10 feet out from the right side for what proved to be the game winning goal in the second half. Forward Rasaq Kuteyi and midfielder Brandon Van Cleave both were credited with assists.
"I don't think Brent letting in the goal says much about the way he played," Morrow said. "Christian Brothers capitalized on our mistake and set up a one versus one situation."
The Bisons attempted four shots on goal against Christian Brothers goalkeeper Daniel Foster. Garrett Pettis, Miguel DaSilva, T.J. Williams and Angel Chairez each had one shot on goal.
Chairez and Pettis each attempted five shots as the Bisons out shot Christian Brothers 23-9.
"I think the shot total is a little misleading when you look at the quality of our chances," Morrow said. "We had some quality chances. We looked good until we hit the attacking third and then we ran out of ideas.
"We had some freshmen playing scared and timid which is understandable. But some of our experienced players were a little lax in their sense of urgency."
Morrow singled out midfielder Andre Santos and midfielder Josh Lind, both freshmen for the quality of their play. But he found little else to get excited about.
"I don't feel like we had a good showing from the guys we are looking to step up and play consistently," Morrow said.
The Bisons will start working on preparations for next week's "Soccer for a Cure" Classic at Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs, N.C. The Bisons will face Gardner-Webb Friday night at 4:30 and play Winthrop Sunday in the second round at 11 a.m.

VFF keen for budget to deliver rural infrastructure
The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is hoping infrastructure funding will feature in tonight's federal budget.
President Peter Tuohey says Commonwealth money for rail and road infrastructure has been lacking in recent years.
He says he hopes the budget focuses on better infrastructure in regional and rural areas, to ease the transportation of grain and other exports.
"The cost of transport to port is very expensive, so if you can improve that infrastructure, it's certainly going to reduce the cost of getting those key imports to the ports where they can be loaded and sent off overseas hopefully," he said.
Rural financial counsellors
Meanwhile, the VFF says it wants the State Government to provide more rural financial counselling services to farmers.
The Government has accused the federation of making misleading allegations about the nature of five positions, which it says were created in the aftermath of the 2011 floods.
The Government says it will monitor the demand for financial counselling, to determine if there is a need to fund the positions beyond June 30.
The Commonwealth Government also recently announced it would provide funding for three positions in Victoria, preventing most of the losses.
However, Mr Tuohey says farmers are finding it hard to cope in the current climate and he wants to see more counsellors to assist.
"I think farmers surviving and farmers managing their businesses through these particularly tough times should probably be a very important issue and they certainly need to have a look at it and say, 'well we could probably find some funding' and just have a little bit of a look into the future and understand that it's going to be tough going," he said.
He concedes the positions were never intended to be ongoing but he says farmers need more help with their finances.
"So 30th [of] June that contract will end, so there'll be a reduction in those rural financial counsellors," he said.
"As we look around the state it's pretty tough in a lot of areas in the south-west, north-west and the north-east.
"There's a lot of areas doing it pretty tough, so we see there's a real need for those financial counsellors to be out there working, helping farmers survive through these tough times."

Mayor's Office
As the nation enters the busiest shopping time of the year, Mayor Chris Beutler today encouraged area residents to shop at locally-owned retailers. He gave his support to two retail promotions:
The Mayor was joined by representatives of the DLA, the Nebraska Retail Federation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln Independent Business Association and local retailers at a news conference at the Post and Nickel, a family-owned business that has been in downtown for 45 years.
"We are fortunate to have many fine national retailers in our community, but it's our locally-owned stores that create a sense of place and make our community unique," Mayor Beutler said. "These businesses also have a major economic impact on our community. The Small Business Administration (SBA) tells us that small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms and employ half of all private sector employees. I urge residents to do business with these outstanding local firms all year round."
Over the past two decades, 65 percent of net new jobs were created by small businesses according to the SBA. The 3/50 Project, a small business advocacy group, reports that for every $100 spent at locally-owned independent store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
DLA's "Shop the Blocks" features 17 retails stores and a variety of downtown restaurants. To participate, shoppers check in at the Hour Lounge, 14th and "O" streets," between 5 and 8 p.m and purchase a $5 all-access pass. The pass is good for discounts, food and access to chauffeur service. Shoppers will receive one raffle ticket for every $20 in purchases, and the drawing will take place at the after-party for participants at the Hour Lounge. More information is available at shoptheblocks.com.
American Express is promoting Small Business Saturday – which falls between "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" – at www.smallbusinesssaturday.com. The first 10,00 business owners who sign up at Facebook will receive $100 of free Facebook advertising. The company will give a $25 statement credit to 100,000 American Express Cardmembers who register their cards and use them November 26 at any locally-owned, independent small business that accepts American Express.
In the first year of Small Business Saturday in 2010, 200,000 customers registered their American Express cards, and small retailers who accept the credit card saw a 28 percent increase in sales when compared to the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2009. More than 100,000 small businesses downloaded marketing materials.

Your ultimate mix
5 comments:
- Elizabeth D. said...
This is so cute, Jenn!! I'm dreadful at naming things, though, so I'm afraid I won't be much help. My mixes on my iPod are called super uncreative things like "Uptempto Quilting Mix" and "Tedious Piecing Mix" and "About to Pass Out Workout Mix." I love your mixtape, though, it looks awesome, and I can definitely relate to quiet partners, it can be super frustrating!

Mayor Don Wesely, University of Nebraska - Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman and the General Manager of the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District (NRD), Glenn Johnson, will plant a tree today near 30th Street and Leighton Avenue to mark the beginning of construction of the Antelope Valley Project. The site will be developed into a 29.5-acre park as part of the neighborhood revitalization portion of the Antelope Valley Project.
"As the largest public works project in the history of the city, Antelope Valley has been in the planning stages for years," said Mayor Wesely. "Today, we celebrate the beginning of the construction and the on-going partnership among the City, UNL and the NRD. By working together, we are revitalizing the core of our city."
"The partnership of the City, the Natural Resources District and the University in this project demonstrates how public institutions can best serve this community," said Chancellor Perlman. "Cooperation has been the key in moving toward a shared vision for a positive future for Lincoln."
"It is unique that three units of local government, along with two federal agencies, can come together to cooperate on a project, but that has been essential on the Antelope Valley Project and has provided the synergy that will make it work," said Johnson.
The Northeast Community Recreational Sports Park is the first of the Antelope Valley Phase One Priority Projects. The park will include four lighted softball and youth baseball fields; a lighted multi-use sports field; a lighted multi-use play court; an upgraded playground; and about 355 off-street parking stalls. Part of the Dietrich Trail will be relocated with improved lighting. The landscaping plan includes planting more than 400 new trees. The park will host its first softball games in September 2003, and the playing fields will be ready in Spring 2004.
The Phase One Priority Projects are scheduled to be completed over a six- to ten-year period. Construction will begin later this summer on the first phase of the Antelope Creek waterway from Salt Creek south to the Devaney Sports Center. Other roadway and waterway projects will include the construction of 13 bridges and 6.2 miles of new roadway. Planners expect the public investments in reducing the flooding threat and traffic congestion will attract private investments in housing, retail and office developments and community centers.

Hear a Live Friday Free At Noon Concert at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast Live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Copeland's stregnth lies in the sheer power of her voice. A melodic powerhouse, She is sometimes compared to Tina Turner - and with good reason. The music she produces combines the sounds of the city with a vocal tour-de-force. Her fans include Maya Angelou, Carlos Santana, and Robert Plant.
Born in Harlem in 1979 to Texas blues guitarist Johnny Clyde Copeland, Shemika grew up with music around every corner. She first performed (at her father's request) in Harlem's old Cotton Club when she was only eight. At fifteen, with her father's health failing, Shemika turned to music as a refuge. At nineteen, she released Turn the Heat Up! on Alligator Records. A year later, she appeared in the movie, Three to Tango. In the year following that motion picture debut, she released her second album, Wicked.
Wicked (2000) garnered Copeland three Handy awards (Song of the Year, Blues Album of the Year, and Contemporary Female Artist of the Year). It also earned her a GRAMMY nomination.
Copeland's third album, Talking to Strangers, was released in 2002 and was praised as a bold and well-crafted departure from her previous works. Three years later, in 2005, she released The Soul Truth to critical acclaim. In it, she collaborated with Stax guitar man Steve Cropper, who also produced the album.
In 2009, Copeland released Never Going Back, her fifth album, this time under the Telarc label. Her new album is due out September 26, called "33 1//3" on Telarc. Shemekia's musical backing includes Arthur Neilson on guitar, Willie Scandlyn on rhythm guitar, Kevin Jenkins on bass, and Morris Roberts on the drums.
In addition to XPN's Free At Noon, Shemekia Copeland plays a full show at World Cafe Live on Friday night, September 28, 2012!

The midsize Toyota Tacoma is the best-selling pickup truck in its segment, and is equipped with some of the most sophisticated dynamic control technology in its class.
The Tacoma offers four-cylinder and V6 engines, 4×2 and 4×4 drive trains, and the popular PreRunner models that combine the 4×2 drive train with the 4×4's raised riding stance and styling.
Leading the Tacoma line in performance and style, the unique X-Runner model blends concept-truck design with sports car performance from a 236-horsepower V6 engine and a specially tuned chassis. The Tacoma line offers 18 different model configurations based on three cab types: Regular Cab, Access Cab, and the four-door Double Cab. The Tacoma Regular Cab and Access Cab models feature a 73.5-inch-long bed. The Double Cab is available with a choice of a 60.3-inch bed or the 73.5-inch bed.
Tacoma Regular Cab 4×2 models are built on a 109.4-inch wheelbase; PreRunner and 4×4 Regular Cab Tacomas are built on a 110-inch wheelbase; 4×2 Access Cab models ride on a 127.2-inch wheelbase, and Access Cab PreRunner and 4×4 wheelbase is 127.8-inches.
The Tacoma Double Cab with the standard five-foot bed shares the 127.8-inch wheelbase, and the Double Cab long-bed models use a 140.9-inch wheelbase.
The Tacoma line offers a choice between two engines: a 2.7-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine that produces 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft. of torque and a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 that produces 236 horsepower and 266 lb-ft. of torque. In both engines variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) helps provide strong low-end and mid-range torque.
An Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-i) helps optimize performance and fuel economy. The V6 engine can be teamed with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. The four-cylinder models offer a choice between a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission.
With its big, bold headlights and grille, Tacoma projects a strong, rugged appearance. Flush rear surface glass and flush surface structures between the bumper sides and body give Tacoma a sophisticated, clean look.
PreRunner and 4×4 models are distinguished by bold over-fenders. Tacoma features an integrated trailer hitch and bumper design. Properly equipped, the V6-powered Tacoma models can tow up to 6,500 pounds. Double Cab models offer a first-in-class roof rack system with crossbars that deploy from the roof rails.
The Tacoma's composite inner bed is made from a sheet-molded compound (SMC) deck and walls that are 10 percent lighter than steel, yet tough and durable. The bed deck features two-tier loading and integrated deck rail utility that includes four standard adjustable tie-down cleats. The rails are compatible with Genuine Toyota Accessories, including cargo bed cross bars, a fork-mount bike rack, and diamond-plate storage boxes.
An available 115V/400W powerpoint further extends the bed's utility.
Dual rear access doors on the Tacoma Access Cab models open to 80 degrees to give passengers easy ingress and egress. Interior storage has been maximized in Access Cab models with tumble-flat rear seats and underseat storage. Double Cab models feature additional storage behind the rear seatback. On all models with front bucket seats (except the sport seats), the front passenger seat folds flat and integrates into a tray table.
A performance truck factory-developed as a separate and dedicated model, the X-Runner showcases the Tacoma line's 236-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 engine in a specially lowered and tuned chassis. The X-Runner name is derived from its "X-Brace" frame reinforcement that provides enhanced torsional rigidity.
Available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and also equipped with a limited-slip rear differential, the X-Runner can accelerate from zero-to-60 MPH in less than seven seconds. Just as impressive, X-Runner can achieve lateral acceleration in excess of 0.9-g — comparable with many sports cars.
The X-Runner's Access Cab design incorporates full body kit, a hood scoop and integrated fog lamps. The color-keyed monochromatic exterior comes in three colors — Radiant Red, Black Sand and Speedway Blue.
The X-Runner suspension is lowered one inch versus the standard Tacoma and rolls on 18-inch alloy wheels with 255/45R18 Bridgestone Potenza performance tires.
Exclusive X-Runner suspension incorporates firmer and shorter springs, specially tuned Bilstein gas shock absorbers positioned outboard of the frame rails for increased stability, a rear stabilizer bar with firmer bushings, and specially tuned steering response.
Tacoma offers some of the most sophisticated dynamic control technology in the segment. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) are standard on all models, and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is available for all models. EBD optimizes brake pressure at each wheel independently for greater control under braking, especially when cornering.
Brake Assist is designed to determine if the driver is attempting emergency braking. If the driver has not pressed firmly enough on the brake pedal to engage the ABS, the system supplements the applied braking power until pedal pressure is released. The optional VSC system, which integrates traction control (TRAC), enhances traction on or off-road by helping to keep the vehicle going on its intended course. VSC detects front-wheel slide and rear-wheel slide during cornering and attempts to control either condition with throttle intervention and/or by braking individual wheels.
On some Tacoma models, the VSC and TRAC systems also includes Automatic Limited-slip Differential (Auto-LSD), which uses brake intervention in place of a mechanical-type LSD unit to help reduce tire slippage at the rear wheels. (The TRD Off-Road Package uses a locking rear differential, and the TRD Sport Package is equipped with a mechanical limited-slip rear differential.)
On automatic transmission models, the VSC and TRAC option includes Hill-start Assist Control (HAC). By independently controlling the brakes at each wheel as needed, HAC helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or slipping sideways during a transition from a stopped position to climbing a grade. When VSC is ordered along with the TRD Off-Road Package on 4×4 V6 automatic models, it includes HAC and Downhill Assist Control (DAC).
DAC uses engine braking to regulate downhill speed and independently control the brakes at each of the four wheels to help improve directional stability. DAC also works in reverse and is automatically de-activated if the driver depresses the brake or accelerator pedals, presses the DAC button, or shifts into neutral.
All seating positions on every Tacoma model are equipped with three-point seatbelts, and all Tacoma models are equipped with the advanced dual-stage airbag system. A front passenger cutoff switch is standard on Access Cab models. Double Cab models offer optional front seat side airbags and roll-sensing side curtain airbags (including a cutoff switch).
The Tacoma interior provides durability and comfort with high-grade fabric and generous standard equipment. Sound absorption material in the headliner and behind the rear seats and insulating carpeting help to provide a quiet cabin. Exterior aerodynamic details help reduce wind noise.
Toyota offers a variety of performance parts and option packages for the Tacoma. The TRD Off-Road Package provides a carefully tuned balance of off-road performance and on-road handling. Chassis modifications include a locking rear differential, progressive-rate front springs, specially tuned Bilstein shock absorbers, a 28-mm front stabilizer bar and 265/70R16 BF Goodrich Rugged Trail tires on 16-inch alloy wheels. Fog lamps and TRD graphics top off the package for a tough, sporty appearance.
The Rugged Trail Off-Road Package is new for the Tacoma's 2008 model year and is available only on V6 models with black, white or silver exterior paint colors. Similar to the TRD Off-Road Package it includes locking rear differential, progressive-rate front springs, specially tuned Bilstein shock absorbers, stabilizer bar and TRD graphics.
The TRD Sport Package is road-focused and features its own specific suspension tuning, a limited-slip rear differential and lower-profile 265/65R17 tires on 17-inch alloy wheels. This package also gives Tacoma a sporty street look with fog lamps, a hood scoop, TRD graphics and a color-keyed rear bumper, mirrors, grille surround and door handles.

Meet the Producers
A small team of dedicated Headquarters staff and a vast team of City Producers bring the 48HFP to our cities each year. This group of individuals come from many different backgrounds and from many different countries but share the commitment to make the 48HFP fun, fair and creatively invigorating.
Mark Ruppert Creator / Executive Producer
Mark came up with the idea for the 48 Hour Film Project back in 2001. As a filmmaker in his own right, Mark's belief in the power of creativity led him to challenge filmmakers to see what they can do in a single weekend.
The results have been phenomenal as the 48 Hour Film Project has found a place in 130 cities around the world--with more than 325,000 people having participated to date, creating more than 25,000 films.
Mark heads the international organization that runs the 48 Hour Film Project, coordinating more than 110 producers around the world. Mark's producing experience includes films, theater and special events. He has emceed award shows, international forums and his own talk/variety show.
Liz Langston Co-Founder / Executive Producer
Langston co-founded the 48HFP back in 2001. After years as a nerdy researcher she found that making movies was much more fun. Even she is surprised that spreading this love of filmmaking has met with such a large response. In 2011 Langston launched a spin-off 48HFP project – the 48 Music Video Project, and in 2012, launched the 48 Horror Project, which is rapidly spreading worldwide.
She manages the 48HFP; develops new opportunities; oversees marketing, social media, and public relations; engages with the press; and biennually spearheads the 48HFP's Film Festival, Filmapaplooza. She lives in Albuquerque, where she also produces the local 48HFP Film Project. She frequently attends film festivals and travels to 48HFP cities to connect with filmmakers and City Producers.
Christina Ruppert Director of Operations
Ruppert manages the day-to-day operations of the 48HFP, helps our City Producers manage their cities, documents and improves procedures, updates our website, and manages projects that involve the rest of the HQ staff. She lives with her husband Michael and sons Patrick and Charlie in Washington, DC.
Laura Schlecht Director of Web Operations
Laura is an actress, director and producer - having worked on numerous projects for both stage and screen. She currently resides in Houston and is involved with many local arts organizations.

colors in sourdough bread
my colorful sourdough breads... using charcoal powder, goji berry, blueberry, japanese pumpkin.
my colorful sourdough breads... using charcoal powder, goji berry, blueberry, japanese pumpkin.
Wow, I had no idea that was edible. What kind of flavor does it impart? Beautiful colors!
as a specialty food distributor, we carried 3 kinds of goat cheese covered in volcanic ash - all from Italy The 3 volcanoes were Etna, Vesuvius and Stromboli. Europeans use these ash covered treats to be more.....regular! It was outrageously expensive but we kept the cost as low as we could by shipping it from Italy every day with Buffalo Mozzarella on a 747 into O'Hare. I guess it works well enough because once a transplanted European saw it in the store - all of it was gone!
Especially the black one. Have you ever seen this post? http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/23179/squid-ink-baguette
Very pretty and inventive. I've been planning a smoked flour bread but have to wait until the weather is nicer to smoke the flour. Would love to hear how that charcoal powder tastes. That blueberry looks like a work of art.
I have not tried smoking the flour yet, but I did read about it. There is a company in England who sells it but I can't get it shipped to the USA. I would probably use apple wood or cherry and nothing too strong like Mesquite.
Thanks for the link to the charcoal info.
Look forward to reading about more of your colorful breads.

BRISTOL — An expanding food program at Bristol Elementary School will give more children access to healthy food during the week, and also on weekends.
The initiative, called "Bites in a Bag," is a partnership between the Bristol Have-A-Heart Food Shelf, the Bristol Elementary food service staff and parent volunteers.
The group sends students home at the end of each week with a snack bag stocked with foods such as cheese sticks, yogurt, popcorn, fruits and vegetables.

Pets pets pets
My "Pets" column in the Babylon Beacon is 30 years old this week. The first one was published on Feb. 24, 1983. That means that there have been 1,560 weekly columns with at least 3,000 shelter poster pet photos over the last three decades. Hopefully this column has brought homeless pets to people who have cherished them.
The Beacon column was supposed to be a shortterm experiment. Back in 1983, Leslie Hill and I, both new members of the now defunct League for Animal Protection (LAP), South Shore Chapter, were asked to pen a column that would promote animals at our town shelter. Since I was teaching at the time, doing tons of "homework," I said I would give it a try "for a few weeks."
Leslie approached the late Mr. Wolfe with the shelter idea because she had covered school board meetings for the Beacon. The format would be an informational pet article followed by a list plus photos of adoptable pets at Babylon Shelter. Barbara Von Bartheld, pet columnist, had recently left the paper. Leslie and I began visiting Babylon Shelter each Saturday to take Polaroids of the dogs and cats. The two best would go in "Pets;" the rest would hang on adoption posters in store windows. Pet food stores were the best spots.
We had a poster in a West Babylon deli for only a brief time because the owner complained our depressing photos caused his customers to lose their appetites. Most of the Polaroids, costing a dollar each, would go in the trash because exuberant shelter dogs have a way of being uncooperative. I used to joke that I kept the failing Polaroid Corporation solvent for years.
We were the only shelter volunteers back then. We'd use our sales pitch on potential adopters and even chase old men from Wyandanch into the parking lot, telling them that they forgot their free neuter certificate. They'd look at us as if we had two heads.
Our goal was to make the invisible visible, to lead people to the buried treasure at their neighborhood pound. Few residents realized we had a town shelter, then next to the dump on Edison Avenue. Extremely naive, we thought we could "save" every shelter dog/ cat just by advertising. We were up against huge obstacles. The municipal mindset was different. Most animals, mixed and purebred, were put down in a week, sooner if the owner surrendered. Many times the poster dog published on a Thursday had already been euthanized. No matter how creative our copy, no matter how boldly I marked shelter paperwork, we couldn't find a home for a dead dog.
Disease was also rampant. There was no shelter medicine or vet care provided by the town back then. Kennel cough more potent, parvo new, distemper always lurking. By the time we had a place, a dog could be too ill. At times we were too late for dogs still wearing their ribbon from the LAP adoption day at Town Hall's Craft Fair. Rather than deliver them to their foster home, they received the final kindness at our vet.
A few years later when Leslie began working on Saturdays, I soloed. The column had to be finished Saturday evening so I could devote Sundays to schoolwork. Before computers (the real B.C.), we used typewriters, taped on the Polaroids and slipped the column under the door at the Doll Den and later at 65 Deer Park Avenue. "Pets" became a regular feature in the Massapequa Post and Amityville Record after I retired from teaching in 2005.
When we started, Leslie and I found out that sitting down together to write was impractical. The first piece about how dogs and cats play was a bit dull; the second advocating spay/neuter was better. Here's an excerpt: "Has Fido been coming home with lipstick on his collar? Has Fifi been preening in front of the mirror? Yes, spring is in the air, love is all around us and your pet feels it too. Now let's face the fact: pet love stories rarely have a happy ending. Thousands and thousands of puppies and kittens are born each hour in this country….."
Little did I know 30 years ago that "Pets" would become a labor of love; or that this column would morph into a passion about shelter rescue; an historical quest to locate the site of the Westminster Kennel Club and Sensation's 1887 grave in Babylon and a passport to become friends with the most interesting and influential folks in the dog and cat worlds. In 1983 I was handed a small spotlight to shine on overlooked pets and a tiny megaphone to sing their praises. I will be forever grateful to the Beacon and Babylon Shelter for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.
To make the 30th anniversary more special, "Pets" won the Maxwell medallion for best newspaper column at this year's Dog Writers Association of America (DWAA) banquet in NYC on Westminster eve. DWAA was founded at Westminster in 1935. The Maxwell Medallion was named in honor of past DWAA president Maxwell Riddle who was known in his day as the greatest authority on dogs. He wrote a syndicated dog column in the Cleveland Press for 30 years and also wrote a column for Dog World for 50 years. Riddle served as an AKC dog judge and his widow made sure that the amazing
Junior handler Diana Chan, her mother and their Pointer Zephyr (featured in "Pets" last week) were present at the DWAA dinner this year too.
"For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631- 643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon" are words typed here countless times. The Chihuahua-"Foxy" #13-82- is a big dog in a tiny dog's body. "Callie May" #3-52, a young calico tabby, has a coat like a patchwork quilt. She purrs while you stroke her.
Cats: "Tiger" #3-47-young gray male; "Misty" –declawed black female.
Dogs: "El Presidente" #12-813- adorable Pit, office dog; "Peppy" #13-103- Shih tzu mix; "Polly" #13-104 sweet Pit mix.

I've obviously been in a quiet blogging patch. My wife and I were visiting our daughter who lives in western Canada.
I'm still amazed and flattered at my inclusion on the New Statesman list. I will post my reflections on this inclusion at some point, but I want to discuss the point more from a sociological than personal point of view. I also want to think about it for a while before commenting.
I spent some time re-visiting Yamal issues in the light of Climategate correspondence. I had hoped that the inquiries would have actually inquired into Yamal. I've got quite a bit of pending material on this which I'll get to some time.
I've also spent a fair bit of time on Ljungqvist 2010 (and 2009). I've corresponded cordially with Ljungqvist and now have a complete collection of his 2010 proxies – a few of which, interestingly, were downloaded from Climate Audit (e.g. the Esper version of Polar Urals). Ljungqvist sent me a Supplementary Information listing the URLs from which data sets were downloaded, including some data sets in which the website was denoted only by its IP address, rather than its name – the IP address was Climate Audit before the move to wordpress. At this point, my interest is not with the "results", but with the data. Ljungqvist's collection includes many paleolimnological proxies, some of which overlap Kaufman et al 2009, but others that are not available elsewhere. Rather than getting too fussed about medieval-modern differentials in one squiggle rather than another, I would like to go a little deeper into the paelolimnological data as a whole – re-examining what, if anything, can be deduced from it. We discussed a number of data sets in connection with Kaufman et al 2009, but there are others that warrant examination.
Ljungqvist also introduced a new speleothem proxy. Speleothems have been playing an increasing role in recent multiproxy collections – Mann et al 2008 has a lot of speleothems in the AD1000 network. There have been interesting speleothem datasets archived at NCDC in the past 18 months – many involving Chinese speleothems, archiving practices for which seem to be much, shall we say, prompter than for speleothems from Raymond Bradley's NSF-financed unit at the University of Massachusetts or Lonnie Thompson's NSF-financed ice cores.
I've also spent time on McShane and Wyner – unfortunately, more time after submitting our discussion than before. The 93-proxy dataset that they use in their AD1000 reconstruction includes 24 strip bark series and 2 Korttajarvi series (Tiljander) without removing the contaminated segments. So it requires great caution in interpreting their results other than where they are, in effect, only mathematical. While I welcome their interest in the field, I wish that they hadn't used things like "lasso" that aren't actually in use in the field.
I also spent some time re-visiting boreholes – the interpretation of which seems very problematic. I've taken a look at some pre-inversion measurements in mining areas that I know a bit about and have some work in progress.
Also I noticed some interesting things about accumulation time series in long glacier holes – work in progress on that.
As regular readers know, as interesting as I find the statistical issues of reconstructions, I think that climatescientists spend too much time worrying about multivariate techniques – most of which is lost energy in the absence of adequate statistical theory anyway – and far too little time worrying about the data. A statistical model that encompasses 6-sigma strip bark excursions is not easy to develop, but I don't see how the field advances without developing such a theory. I had some cordial correspondence with McShane and Wyner, who are very interested in the statistical aspects of the reconstruction projection and will hopefully be interested in these problems as well.
Speaking of which, I'll also mention another article that discusses statistical aspects of climate reconstructions that, to my great shame, I didn't attend to when it first came out – Loehle and McCulloch 2008, a situation that I also hope to remedy. I had presumed that this article was simply a corrigendum, but it has a very interesting discussion of "cross-sectional heteroscedasticity" in the context of CPS reconstructions. Hu McCulloch also has an excellent working paper on reconstruction methodology, attention to which is long overdue.

After being hit with three class-action lawsuits and a slew of customer complaints on social media sites for a tax-return delay, H&R Block is doing damage control by offering some pro-bono advice. But some angry customers are calling for refunds – or more.
The company announced Friday that clients impacted by a filing error that held up hundreds of thousands of refunds can receive financial aid counseling from Student Financial Aid Services, a subsidiary of Rezolve Group, a financial aid advisory firm. But the company has stopped short of refunding affected customers their tax preparation fees—something clients are requesting in at least three separate lawsuits against H&R Block.
As MarketWatch recently reported, the Internal Revenue Service says a software filing glitch with Form 8863, used to claim educational credits, is delaying roughly 660,000 refunds by up to six weeks. While the agency would not say how many of those returns were prepared by H&R Block, company CEO Bill Cobb apologized for the mistake in a letter posted on the company's Facebook page. Mandatory fields on the form were left blank for returns the company filed before Feb. 22. Some customers say they are starting to receive their tax refunds, while others are still waiting for updates on when they might get their money.
The delays are complicating the financial-aid process for some families because some people need their applications to be verified with tax-return information from the IRS. Some parents and students expressed concerns to MarketWatch and on the H&R Block Facebook page that the delays could force them to miss out on financial aid. Indeed, applying for aid early has an advantage since "some states award on a first come, first serve, basis," says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid.org and Fastweb.com.
H&R Block is trying to help those affected clients by connecting them with an adviser who can answer questions and help them complete their application for financial aid even if their tax returns are still being processed, says H&R Block spokesman Gene King. And the Department of Education says it notified colleges of the delay and is encouraging schools to award aid estimates based on the information students provide on the financial aid forms.
But the move does not give some customers what they have been calling for on Facebook and Twitter since the snafu came to light more than two weeks ago: full or partial refunds of their tax-preparation fees.
Leslee Napier, a 26-year-old nursing student in Princeton, Ind., whose return was impacted by the glitch says she was able to complete her Fafsa application using estimates while she waited for her tax return to be accepted by the IRS. Napier just got word that her refund should be deposited into her bank account this week, but she is hoping the company will give her a refund of the fees. After putting in a request for a refund, she was offered a $50 coupon for next year by her local H&R Block office, which she says she does not plan to use. "I obviously will not be trusting them to do my taxes again," she told MarketWatch.
When asked if the company would be offering clients refunds, H&R Block would only say it was focused on getting returns processed as quickly as possible, adding that more than half of affected clients should either have their tax refund or a date for when to expect it. However, some customers have been saying online that some local H&R Block offices are refunding preparation fees or offering coupons.
As for students hoping to complete their financial-aid applications, Kantrowitz says that most families shouldn't wait until their tax returns are done before they fill out the Fafsa. Many students can estimate their income using the last pay stub of the previous year, their 1099 forms and any other income forms they have on hand.

Banks ditch ATM fees, but calls for a royal commission remain strong
What else will the banks do to avoid a royal commission?
It is estimated Australians will save hundreds of millions of dollars in withdrawal fees now that the big four banks over the weekend agreed to ditch withdrawal fees for customers of other institutions using their ATMs to withdraw cash.
CBA was the first mover, and within hours the other three big banks quickly followed suit.
This is a good move for customers, and one that is long overdue.
Reserve Bank of Australia data shows Australians made more than 250 million ATM withdrawals from banks other than their own last year.
The average withdrawal fee is about $2, but when using a "foreign" ATM at a bar or casino the cost can run as high as $11, and on overseas transactions it can hit as high as $20.
Taking away those annoying and unnecessary fees will no doubt result in more happy customers.
But one is kidding themselves about what this is really about. Their motives are not completely altruistic.
Bank executives didn't wake up overnight worried about fee gouging.
They will keep charging Australians hefty fees for banking with them because, well, that's how they make a big chunk of their money.
Australians now pay $4.41 billion a year in banking fees, which are mostly linked to home loans and credit cards.
According to Reserve Bank data analysed by RateCity, the fees collected from credit cards in the 12 months leading to June 2017 totalled $1.56 billion – an increase of $48 million from 2015.
Home loan fees also hit $1.24 billion, an increase of $5 million from the year before.
The real reason, as well all know, that CBA axed its fees – and the other banks moved in sync – was to address a bad image problem.
CBA clearly needs better press following the scandal at its life insurance arm CommInsure, and the more recent news of Austrac investigating it because criminal gangs allegedly laundered more than $70 million through the bank.
But the bad news won't evaporate until the big banks completely revamp their corporate culture. That takes time and genuine leadership.
In the meantime, APRA has launched an independent prudential inquiry into governance, culture and accountability at CBA.
And Labor continues to demand a royal commission into the banking sector.
"There hasn't even been a banking royal commission and we are already seeing the pressure of it, by seeing the ATM fees removed," said shadow minister for small business and financial services Katy Gallagher.
"Imagine how we could get better banking for all Australians if we had a banking royal commission."
Just imagine.

More mergers and more education and awareness were among the top factors that have impacted member use of investment services and products at credit unions in 2009.
The 2010 "Credit Union Retail Investment Study" discovered this trend after tracking data provided by broker-dealers from 943 credit union clients. The study was published Sept. 1 by Callahan and Associates and Snyder Consulting Solutions. The data is grouped into four sections: a global view of the credit union retail investment space, individual credit union data, case studies and a benchmark scorecard.
Since 2005, the number of credit unions with retail investment services programs, as a percentage of the total number of credit unions in the United States, has increased steadily each year from 10.6% to 12.2% by year-end 2009, according to the report. While approximately 12.2% of all credit unions as of year-end 2009 had investment programs in place, the likelihood of having a program in place is related to the size of the credit union.
Even as the financial markets started to crumble in late 2007 and into 2009, credit unions maintained a strong footing, said Pete Snyder, president of SCS in Roseville, Calif. Consumers became concerned with safety and soundness as financial services providers posted significant losses and a number of high profile financial firms were bought, restructured, bailed out by the government or failed, the report noted.
As a result, many firms that were focused on the delivery of retail brokerage and insurance services experienced drops in revenue that required an immediate adjustment to their overall operating models, including layoffs of back office personnel and involuntary sales force reductions based on recalibrated minimum levels of individual production.
"Meanwhile, in the credit union channel, the indicators were very good that the percentage of credit unions offering investment services increased somewhat following mergers but also through program expansion and awareness," Snyder said.
The total number of credit unions decreased from 8,880 to 7,710 between 2005 and year-end 2009 as the result of mergers, while the number of credit unions offering investment services between 2005 and year-end 2009 increased slightly from 938 to 943, the data showed. With the merger activity that has occurred since 2005 a number of investment programs were also merged.
Last year, a decline in registered representatives triggered a slight decline in gross revenues. Snyder said the reduction in sales force was driven by many of the smaller credit unions that opted to share a representative with their peers rather than have a dedicated one.
Indeed, between 2005 and 2008 the number of registered representatives per credit union increased slightly from 2.0 to 2.4. By year-end 2009 that number dropped to 2.1 representatives per credit union, according to the benchmark study. Given the relationship between the total number of representatives that are in place in any investment program and the revenues that each can generate, there was a corresponding reduction of 6.7% in gross revenues during 2009.
For many members and consumers, a flight to safety with their investments became the norm after the markets buckled. Credit unions saw a surge in deposit growth as assets under management for retail investments trailed behind. That pattern can be seen with fixed annuity sales, which increased over the past three years and now represent 21.3% of total revenues to credit union retail investment programs as of year-end 2009. This is up from 6% in 2007 and 11.8% in 2008.
The study found that in contrast, the revenue from both mutual fund and variable annuity sales have decreased during the same reporting period. By year-end 2009, mutual fund sales represented 18.0% of revenue, down significantly from the 24.1% in 2007. The variable annuity share of revenue in 2007 stood at 42.2%. A year later the total revenue from this product declined to 34.6% and at year-end 2009 it declined further to 31.8%.
"It's another factor we saw loud and clear, which was a shift in revenue during a migration from risk to safety," Snyder said. "Typically, when the markets come back, things swing back and forth. You can see that in fixed annuities. It shows that the reps can adapt and help members."
