Last January, I got to visit some friends in San Francisco and got to see the sights. My designated tour guide through my stay, D-chan, to my giddy excitement, pulls out a 35mm TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) film Camera. HOOO-LY CRAP~! I thought it was an actual Rollei or a Yashica. Turns out it was a builders kit that came with issue #25 of "Otona no kagaku magazine" (Science of Adult), published by Gakken.[1] So it's not as fancy as Lomo's Lubitel 166 or those really fancy TLR's yet it STILL IS a basic but fully functional 35mm film camera. When she told me it was a kit that came with a camera, I asked her to take me to where she got it. Mozied over to Kinokuniya in Japan town and picked one up. Of course I didn't get to put it together while I was there. Continue reading

The Big Horn Boutique specializes in western apparel for children and adults and gifts, from cowboy boots to local literature and everything in between.
Perhaps the most popular line is the Lucchese boot collection. The Big Horn Boutique offers both the traditional, hand-made boots, constructed as they have been since 1883 and the modern Charlie 1 Horse collection. For those seeking a little more comfort, the Minnetonka Moccasins should do the trick. They offer the ultimate in foot comfort and warmth, perfect for staying cozy on a cold night. They also make sandals for summer feet and hats to block the sharp Montana sun.
Their most popular hats are definitely the Stetson hats, worn by westerners everywhere. These cowboy hats are renowned for their toughness and style. "An American original, the Stetson cowboy hat has braved the elements and weathered every trend with quiet confidence."
Big Horn Boutiques also carries brands like Ethyl Denim, Montana Furs, and Not Your Daughter's Jeans.
One of the Big Horn Boutique's top selling brands is Vera Bradley. These stylish and functional bags depart from the browns of the west and bring some color into the mix.
The Big Horn Boutique is more than just a clothing store, however. There are beautiful examples of certified Montana Sapphire jewelry, each of which comes with a certificate of authenticity. These gems are mined from throughout Montana and assembled by Montana craftsmen. Unique items such as Red Fox King Sized Bedspreads are scattered throughout the store, along with beautiful artwork and pieces such as cowboy boot lamps. There is a great selection of books by local authors as well as guides for the entire region to help you plan your next adventure.

Change: Tony Abbott with his sister, Christine Forster. Photo: 60 Minutes
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has sought to further remake his public image by declaring his religious beliefs would never dominate his politics.
He said earlier comments he made condemning abortion were poorly stated, and admitted his opposition to homosexuals changed once he got to know gays.
Judge me by what the considered view today is, not by throwaway lines and offhand comments 35 years ago.
Supported by his lesbian sister, her partner, his wife Margie and his daughters, Mr Abbott said that when he claimed three years ago during a television interview that he felt ''a bit threatened'' by homosexuals, he had been trying to guard a family secret.
He had only just been told by his sister she was a lesbian.
''Now I couldn't talk about that then because it was deeply personal and deeply private,'' he said. ''But certainly they were very tough times for our family, hence my comment, because the cohesion of our family was threatened at that time. But I'm pleased to say we're all in a better space now than we were then.''
Interviewed at a family barbecue at his Sydney home, Mr Abbott's sister, Christine Forster, said he was ''completely unfazed'' when she told him she was in a lesbian relationship after 19 years of being married to a man. Her partner, Virginia Edwards, said Mr Abbott and his family had been ''fantastic''.
Asked if he could guarantee he would not invoke his Catholic faith in policy-making, Mr Abbott said, ''Yes I can.''
''Faith is important to me. It's important to millions of Australians. It helps to shape who I am. It helps to shape my values. But it must never, never dictate my politics. Judge me by what the considered view today is, not by throwaway lines and offhand comments 35 years ago.''
Mr Abbott, who has always insisted marriage is between a man and a woman, even appeared to hold open the possibility of a future policy change by his party on same-sex marriage.
When challenged over his sister's view that Liberal policy was discriminatory, Mr Abbott said: ''We've had quite a few discussions about this, obviously. And I'm pleased to say they've been good-humoured and respectful. She vigorously disagrees with me and she hopes that at some future point in time the Coalition partyroom might take a different position.''
Interviewed by Liz Hayes on the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program, Mr Abbott admitted he wore ''product'' in his hair. ''He wears facial moisturiser, too,'' one of his daughters chuckled.
Mr Abbott's decision to expose a softer, sensitive version of himself on a high-rating television show comes as his party, riding high in the polls, enters the last six months before the federal election.
He described the coming poll as ''the supreme challenge of my life'', but did not want to comment on predictions he would be the next prime minister ''because I don't want to jinx myself''.

Joplin Social Security Office Shorten Hours
By: Shayla Patrick
Updated: November 16, 2012
JOPLIN, MO.--- Beginning Monday, the Joplin's Social Security Office will only be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Representatives from the State Social Security Office say reducing daily office hours by 30 minutes will allow them to cut down on the amount of overtime paid to employees. The administration is tightening their budget due to limited funding. The office serves about 110 people each day. Administrators say since most claims can be handled over the phone, they don't anticipate the change having a dramatic effect on the public.

NJAA 5th Anniversary a big successThe event featured a 20-page, preset 8 game lineup and included a colorful 20 page program. A smoker and BBQ grill was set up along with the program stand and gift shop with T shirts. All the "Matt" balls have now sold out. Some great cheeseburgers and smoked chicken were prepared by Brian and Herberto. The booth was attended by Ariana Garcia. Play started on time at 5pm, and was over in a crisp 2 hours and 15 minutes. Skies were cloudy and the 50% chance of rain predicted went to the north and south of us. The big highlight and drawing card for the event had to be the new wall. Raised four feet under the direction of contractor Scott King, the court has an entire new look and play. Several balls played off the wall with no problem, often sounding like a shot off the Green Monster. Mr. King needs to be commended for his hard work of several days out there getting the court ready for play. There was no pay involved - the city's Weeki Wachee fund only covered the materials. Jai-alai legend Sarmiento, 84, threw out the first ball. It was a perfect throw - as expected! He won the first singles game ever played at Tampa Jai-Alai in 1953 and was the top ITM player the 1953-1954 seasons. Everybody had a good time, and perhaps we can do this yearly, instead of waiting till 2018 for the 10th anniversary event!

Thomson Higher Education and Aplia Inc. have formed an alliance to help students better prepare for economics lessons outside of the classroom. The solution, which combines Thomson South-Western economics books with Aplia's auto-graded student assignments, online experiments and course management tools, allows students to study key concepts on their own time.
The new integrated program enables teachers to access a large library of assignments, create announcements, manage grades and print performance reports. The new economic solution will be available for the fall semester. For more information, visit www.aplia.com/thomson.

OOOPS! I Killed My Mother
nytheatre.com review by Robert Kent
August 15, 2004
Before Oops! I Killed My Mother starts, writer/performer Ruth Otero makes the surprising announcement that she will not perform her matricidal comedy. "It is not life affirming or spiritually transformative," Otero claims. Instead, the bubbly, appealing Latina comedienne plans to premiere a more positive work entitled "I Opened Up My Heart and There Was Room for Me: A Show About Healing." After offering a reminder to turn off cell phones, Otero steps backstage to "pray" and prepare the new piece.
Once she disappears, two latecomers enter the theater: Otero's lethargic older sister Wilma and murder-inducing mother Consuelo, who immediately redecorates the set with sparkling garland and old movie posters. Initially unaware of the revised set, Otero returns to sing an energetic rendition of Jimmy Cliff's "I Can See Clearly Now" that spirals into a mental breakdown once she notices the changes and realizes that "Mother" is in the house. Otero instantly abandons her plan to perform "I Opened Up My Heart and There Was Room for Me: A Show About Healing" and does "Oops! I Killed My Mother" instead. Otero should have stuck with her gut and gone with the show about healing.
Throughout the remainder of the hour-long Oops! Otero recalls life with a maddeningly neurotic mother who makes her daughters wear oversized, bargain-priced slacks; embarrasses the family at the grocery store; and refuses to accept Ruth's showbiz lifestyle. "[Mother believes that] I'm a puta because I have boyfriend and do community theatre!" the actress reveals. It's a standard tale of familial dysfunction. Furthermore, Otero is not the first actress be at odds with mom. She follows Carrie Fisher (Postcards from the Edge), Lisa Kron (Well) and others in the fine art of mother-baiting. Functionally directed by Craig Carlisle, Otero's mildly amusing Oops! I Killed My Mother brings nothing new to the "blame Mom for my failures" genre. While Otero skillfully portrays her sister and feisty mother, her writing never escalates beyond its therapy-turned-solo-show formula. And for that, Otero has no one to blame but herself.

1. | El Spunko | ||
To be well hung, handsome and a skillful hockey player. That bloke is definately El Spunko.
2. | El Spunko | ||
'El Spunko' is the name of a Mexican-era California masked villan and master 'swordsman'. (using 'swordsmen' in the widedest meaning possible), who resides in the quaint, rowing village, of Marlow.
He prowls the night, weapon in his hand, proving himself to be much too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch. "A rumour runs in Marlow, a masked bandido dressed in black prowls the night. As discrete as a shadow in the dark, he glides from roof to roof and always emerges where he is not expected. He is brave and reckless and undoubtedly the best 'swordsman' of the country. His sword... his long, thick sword, he puts it at the service of what he calls justice. People despise him and he remains an outlaw and there a price on his head. Soldiers are unceasingly running after him but on his pumped up testosterone, faster than the wind, he is uncatchable! His courage and his elegance particularly impress the señoritas who regard him as a true hero. (not suprising, considering the size of his..) However, he often finds himself in a bad position and must use all of his tricks and skills to get out of it, victorious at leaving his mark each time. Do you know his name? This bold renegade carves an 'S' with his "blade", with three quick sprays.. an 'S' that stands for... SPUNKO!" Spotting El Spunko is hard, as he has a nifty invisibility function which he carries around everywere he goes... if you do spot him though, he wears a black costume wi... |

Six firms have designs on giving 38-year-old Lisboa a new look
31 July 2008 South China Morning Post Architectural designs for redeveloping Macau's iconic casino, the 38-year-old Lisboa, have gone on display at Grand Lisboa, the flagship casino of SJM Holdings. Unnamed pictures of a dozen concepts submitted by six design firms are being shown in an exhibition, from yesterday to Sunday, in the casino's Grand Ballroom. Gaming mogul Stanley Ho Hung-sun, the managing director of SJM, praised the long history of Casino Lisboa at the exhibition's opening ceremony, referring to it as Macau's "heritage". "While integrated resorts are now the accepted formula in Macau, it should be remembered that this innovative concept was introduced by us back in 1970," he said. SJM was aiming for a redevelopment that would be "unique and culturally appropriate for Macau". Each design firm has come up with two concepts: one with, and the other without, the Lisboa's famed "birdcage" design. It is still uncertain whether the birdcage will be retained in the redevelopment. The exhibition is part of a design contest organised by SJM. A judging panel comprising SJM executives and architects will shortlist three concepts for a second round, in which a winner will be selected. When Casino Lisboa opened in 1970, its circular design was considered revolutionary at the time. The birdcage shape was especially popular among foreign tourists. Many Hong Kong gamblers believe that the "birdcage" has a special fung shui effect - "caging" punters and their money inside. But Mr Ho said yesterday that fung shui was not considered. "People said it was a fung shui design to confine gamblers," he said, "Lisboa was designed by Eric Cumine, a relative of mine. He is a foreigner who knows nothing about fung shui." Design firms taking part in the contest include Paul Andreu Architecte of Paris, which designed the National Grand Theatre of China; Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects & Engineering, which designed the Grand Lisboa; and Simon Kwan & Associates, which designed the Hong Kong Science Park. |

At the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in Raleigh, a 12-gauge shotgun accidentally went off when the 36-year-old owner was taking it out of its case. The bullets that disbursed struck three people and sent everyone close by running for their lives. Everyone hit is expected to live.
Another shooting occurred at a gun show run by Conrad and Dowdell Productons. A Taurus semi-automatic 9mm handgun accidentally discharged when its owner took out the weapon and struck his own business partner in the right arm and thigh. The last shooting occurred at the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show in Indianapolis, as the owner of a .45 caliber semi-automatic was loading his weapon when he shot himself in the hand.
These shootings have occurred at a highly sensitive time when gun violence and the availability of guns is under the microscope and many people want to see change in terms of restrictions placed on gun ownership.

In a bid to retain as much revenue as possible from its Lipitor cholesterol pill, which lost patent protection in the US yesterday and now faces generic competition, Pfizer is undertaking several unusual strategies. These include offering incentives to health plans and pharmacy benefit managers to favor its brand-name drug (look here); providing consumers a co-pay card that lowers their cost significantly and partnering with a specialty pharmacy to mail Lipitor directly to patients.
The gambit is being closely watched by other drugmakers, payers, pharmacies and regulators for the implications as numerous best-selling meds also encounter generic rivals. Lipitor generated $10.7 billion in sales last year and capturing even a small slice of ongoing sales is important to Pfizer. But to what extent will its strategy work? To gain some insight, Reimbursement Intellgience, a market research firm, queried 42 execs from health plans and pharmacy benefit managers for their thoughts.
What do they think? Overall, 66.7 percent believe the moves will not protect Lipitor market share during the first 180 days of exclusivity that Ranbaxy Laboratories has in which to sell a generic. After six months, they expect Pfizer to lose 54.5 percent of the market. And a year from now, they expect Pfizer will have lost two-thirds of the Lipitor market. Still, the register will ring.
"What Pfizer is doing is groundbreaking, because they are taking a very aggressive step to stop erosion of their brand and this will probably result in protecting billions of dollars in the first six months that would have been lost otherwise," says Rhonda Greenapple of Reimbursement Intelligence. "And partnering with a specialty pharmacy to protect a patent has never been done before. It's a model everyone will look at and it'll be very interesting to see what really happen after 180 days. Because if every brand does this, it could stop people from being converted" to generics.
Just the same, Pfizer is doing a so-so job of convincing health plans and PBMs that Lipitor is somehow better than a generic. On a scale of 1 to 10, Pfizer received a 4. Nonetheless, 54.8 percent say they will offer the authorized generic, which is being sold by Watson Pharmaceuticals. Meanwhile, only 30.4 percent report they will receive added rebates or discounts from Pfizer. And while the Pfizer move to offer incentives attracted attention from the US Federal Trade Commission (see this) and three US Senators (look here), 71.4 percent do not believe there are any anti-trust implications.
Meanwhile, Leerink Swann analyst Jason Gerberry writes in an investor note that Pfizer expects up to eight generics to compete for market share after the 180-day exclusivity period expires. And he reports that Watson execs believe Pfizer may retain 40 percent of the market, but they believe can capture more than 50 percent of the remaining generic market. Pfizer, he adds, has already contracted with half of the eligible customers and believes that its pricing is competitive comapred with Watson. "The remaining wildcard," he notes, "is Ranbaxy's pricing decision."
While I envy the move that Pfizer is making I am wondering if consumers, the media and politicians are going to see this as a move by a drug company to make more money at a time when healthcare costs are out of control.
What we have to ask is a basic question and that is "who does this really benefit ?" With Pfizer already cutting R&D the benefit of this is investors and the Street not consumers, employers or healthcare.

This video shows how collective water management can prevent conflict and improve water availability, use for agriculture and other aims in the Kimana wetlands at the foot of the Kilimanjaro in Kenya, Africa.
Because of many irrigation practices upstream, the cattle downstream do not receive much water. Wetlands International worked to solve this water conflict in the Kimana wetlands on the foot of the Kilamanjaro, Kenya. This is done by the setting up of a Wetlands Association, which includes all the actors with water needs - from Masaai cattle rangers to newly arrived farmers. Furthermore, we work on national policies for wetland conservation.

We had the perfect dinner - we had a reservation so were shown to our table immediately, the service was impeccable, and the food was to die for. The steak tartar, oyster and caper appetizer was amazing, only to be topped by the halibut on grains and okra. Will definitely be returning.

Back in the Day Bakery aces 'socializing'
Customers at Back in the Day Bakery, Savannah, Ga., know that owners Griffith and Cheryl Day are very social people. So do the many friends and fans who regularly follow their tweets, Facebook updates and blogs.
For at least the past five years, the Days have made social media an integral part of their marketing because, as Griffith explains, it provides unlimited opportunities for networking.
"We take a down-home, mom-and-pop approach to our business and find that social media fits right in with our grassroots marketing philosophy," he says.
Through social media, the Days have been able to build a community of people "who care about who we are and what we do," Cheryl says. In addition to keeping customers up-to-date on new products and special events, these forums enable the couple to converse with them on a more personal level.
Blogging has long played an integral role in building that community, they explain. In fact, the Days even got a book deal when their blog caught the attention of a publisher. Released in early March, the book, The Back In the Day Bakery Cookbook, has already been named on Amazon's list of "Best Books of the Year So Far."
Facebook also has been "an awesome tool for us," Griffith says. "It allows us to blast out information and photos about daily menu specials, new products and which products are selling best at any given time."
So far, Back in the Day's Facebook page has almost 4,700 likes. Often, happy customers, including local businesses, post comments about the bakery and even photos of their favorite products on their own blogs and Facebook pages. In return, the Days will post links to those customers' pages.
Cheryl and Griffith also make extensive use of Twitter. They have three accounts with a total of more than 2,600 followers.
The bakery's official Twitter account focuses on news about products and events. Cheryl has a separate account to tweet anecdotes about the couples' daily life in the bakery and on the road promoting the book, as well as her adventures as a food aficionado, discovering new places and products. Griffith uses his account to take readers behind the scenes in the bakery.
Each account is designed to appeal to a different audience, but when something really exciting comes up, all three accounts might feature it, Cheryl notes. An example is the bakery's new monthly Saturday Supper Club, which features "pop up" dinner and dessert specials for families dining in from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The Days also make it a point to respond to every Facebook comment and tweet.
"Cheryl and I believe that if someone is going to take the time to write to or about us, we should take the time to write back to them," Griffith says. "It's good for us and good for our business to keep the conversation going."
Noe Valley Bakery customizes to perfection
It was a doll that inspired Michael Gassen to create what is now one the most powerful marketing tools for his Noe Valley Bakery in San Francisco.
"I happened to see a website for a doll that allowed kids to customize everything from skin, eye and hair colors to clothing," Gassen says. "And I thought to myself, why can't we do that with cake?"
In 2004, Gassen launched Noe Valley Bakery's online Cake Book, an interactive page-turner (literally) that provides customers with step-by-step guidelines for building their own creations from a wide array of flavors and decorative accents. The 45-page book begins with options for customizing "house" round layer and sheet designs, then showcases the bakery's more elaborate, uniquely artistic two- and- three-dimensional Signature Series creations.
As customers click and drag the pages to "turn" them, Gassen hopes they will become aware of the bakery's artistic and highly skilled technical capabilities.
"People tell us all the time, 'We didn't know you could do that with cake!'" he says. "They also enjoy being able to take their time browsing through the many pages of options at their convenience in their own homes."
Prices for each cake, broken down by sizes ranging from 6-in. to a full sheet, as well as customizable components, such as choice of background and/or basic border colors and written message, are listed on each page. Add-on suggestions, such as custom-blended icings or extra-intricate borders, rolled fondant icing, chocolate ganache and fresh fruit also are meant to spark customers' imaginations. Because each page is a template, Gassen can quickly and easily revise, expand and update the book to continually present fresh ideas and designs.
After making their selections, customers can call in their orders. A sophisticated point-of-sale system at the bakery makes it easy for staff to quickly and accurately input the information.
But, Gassen cautions, introducing the internet into "the traditionally paper and pencil bakery world" can be a tricky business.
"Convenience is great, but too much technology can weird many people out," he says. "Some customers suffer from analysis paralysis when faced with so many choices, so we think it is important to carefully straddle the line between modern technology and old-fashioned personal customer service.
"After all," he adds, "the thing that never changes is that we don't sell just cakes–we sell emotion in the form of cakes."
And Noe Valley Bakery sells a lot of emotion. During the past few years, cake sales have climbed from 28 percent to 45 percent, and profitability has increased. Gassen points out that while other factors, including the bakery's more cake-centric focus, have certainly contributed to this rise in revenues, the Cake Book has played a major role.
The website, including the book, was designed by a friend and cost Gassen about $4,000 to produce. The investment has been such a boon to his bottom line that he would do it again without any hesitation.

Barnhart ouster treats symptom, but illness remains
Brian Barnhart's ouster from INDYCAR Race Control appeases critics, but it is only treating a symptom of a greater malaise in the series.
Brian Barnhart's ouster from INDYCAR Race Control appeases critics, but it is only treating a symptom of a greater malaise in the series.
The driver of an errant safety truck at IndyCar's Baltimore Grand Prix has been suspended for two races. Pop Off Valve takes a closer look at the situation and Race Control's role in the near-miss.
Pop Off Valve interviews Common Sense to see what she thinks of the rationalizations issued by IndyCar Race Control about their decision-making recently.
Look out, Brian Barnhart - Pop Off Valve lets fly with both barrels on the inadvisable late-race restart in the rain in New Hampshire!
A day after a wild finish to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, Pop Off Valve revisits some of the issues and lessons learned from the IZOD IndyCar Series event.
The weekly edition of Haiku Tuesday explores the fallout from Helio Castroneves' $60,000 fine for his actions after Edmonton.
An eventful weekend has led to a treasure trove of analysis of Helio Castroneves' block on Will Power in Edmonton. Pop Off Valve's Paddock Pulse packages up the punditry in the controversial aftermath.
The finish of the Honda Indy Edmonton brought a hailstorm of controversy down on the embattled IZOD IndyCar Series officials. Pop Off Valve examines the decision that led to Scott Dixon inheriting the race victory from apparent winner Helio Castroneves.

Helmholtz Centre Potsdam
GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Abstract (EDOC: 2217)For the SLR system to be described, it has been decided to use the bistatic approach.
The two separate telescopes are spaced by about 2 meters and are using identical azimuthal mounts.
A 130mm diam. lens is used for transmitting the laser beam and a 450mm parabolic mirror for the receiver.
Each telescope is enclosed by an independently driven housing isolating it from wind forces as well as
environmental contamination. The telescopes may even be used without any dome. The telescopes are driven by
direct on-axis torque motors which are controlled by built-in digital servo systems. Moving cables are
avoided by sliding contacts allowing the telescopes to rotate in both axes continuously without limitation.
The focal units of each telescope are mounted in separate boxes below the platform of the observation building.
The transmitter box contains the variable beam expander and the receiver box contains the filters (spatial and spectral)
as well as the photoelectric receivers.
The system is presently implemented and tested at the new SLR station site of GFZ Potsdam. (1999): An innovative telescope for SLR. Laser Radar Ranging and Atmospheric Lidar Techniques II, 83-89. | EDOC: 2217 | Abstract |

Busy busy week for me at the moment as I am basically just writing and answering mails for the United Skateboard Photography Project and I hope to sit down and add tons of updates to the project's page today. I have also been getting new inspirations and ideas together for the next Europeskate relaunch which is coming soon. But the news and videos are still flowing: check out Antiz Skateboards Marock n Roll tour video and then get out and skate something. I'm headed out for a morning mini ramp session to warm up!

Thrashlanta: Abandoned Waterpark
This is like a dream come true. An amusement park, abandoned and with sick transitions everywhere. And when I say sick, I mean it – that first slide / pipe is nuts! Justin Brock, Pat Mclain and Dan Plunkett enjoy a day at this different type of park.
Antiz Skateboards Marock n Roll Tour
The Antiz Skateboards team (Hugo Liard, Julian Furones, Remy Taveira and several more…) headed towards Marocco for a skate trip which as always goes to show that it is always worth being open-minded about discovering new countries, cultures and of course spots.
Sugar Magazine from France has the complete story with loads of great photos from the tour in it's latest magazine (#146) and you can check out the video edit below which was filmed and edited by Ludo Azémar.
Bucky Lasek and Chris Miller Win At The Vans Pool Party 2013
Were you there or did you watch the action at the Vans Pool Party 2013 finals? It goes without stating the obvious that is was going to be one heck of a skateboard contest but it blew me away once again. Here's a short video summary of some of the action that took place yesterday during the contest.
Opinions on who should have won in the Pros division are once again divided but I believe it's just so cool to see the level of skating that went down in those bowls. Bucky Lasek pulled out all of his tricks, ruled the entire park and landed tricks in spots that I just can't see as possible. Pedro Barros – what can you say: he's a whirlwind in any bowl/pool and the height of his airs and the length of grinds is unbelievable. And Rune is just Rune – smooth and in control. In the Masters division I personally believe it was perfectly clear with Chris Miller continuing to grow older and his skating is just stays plain and simply amazing. Fast and furious, I can't wait for more video edits and photos to turn up from the Vans Pool Party 2013!
1. Chris Miller (Del Mar, CA)
2. Steve Caballero (San Jose, CA)
3. Christian Hosoi (Huntington Beach, CA)

Owl Eyes On Jürgen Horrwarth
Jürgen Horrwarth skates all terrains at a high level but when it comes to vert skating, he belongs to the world's best skaters. Just before his video part for Trap Skateboards is released he's been featured in this "Owl Eyes On" video edit with minimal lighting at his home vert ramp in Berlin, Germany. Can't wait for his Trap Skateboards part!
Qualifying Action At The Vans Pool Party 2013
More qualifying action from this year's Vans Pool Party 2013. The contest will be taking place tomorrow starting at 3 o'clock pm PST so for everybody over in Europe, get some sleep tonight to be able to watch the action on the live webcast!

What a wonderful recipe this is! I've baked professionally for 20 years and "pie" can come in many forms. One of our best sellers is a glazed apple pie baked in a jelly roll pan. Thanks so much for sharing.

I had the good fortune to enjoy this pie at the Salem Cross in Massachusetts a few years ago when my husband and I were on a New England tour. The entire dinner was excellent as well as the Apple Pie. I am puzzled that someone would place such a negative slant in their review. If a person makes the recipe and finds it is not to their liking, there is a nicer way to state their views. One generally does not see these kinds of comments in the Taste of Family family.

This recipe sounds similar to the apple pie recipe I make from my tried and true Betty Crocker cookbook. It's a great recipe and I always get compliments. I don't think you need complicated recipes for food to be good. The times I'm most asked for recipes are usually my simplest recipes. I don't think that makes you a beginner cook! This recipe sounds delicious and I hope to make it soon.

Thank you for getting me to "think outside the box". I never thought of baking a pie other than in the traditional round pan. I am actually baking an apple pie this afternoon (made the crust at 4 a.m.) when I get home. I like your recipe and am looking forward to the results. New ideas often help this country get better.

Linda Katherine, thank you for this recipe, I haven't made it yet but I'm looking forward to it. I love that it's in a 13x9 pan, that will be especially good for serving a crowd. I might add a few raisins and drizzle a bit of powdered sugar icing on top just because I like both of those. I'll write a real review after I make it but I wanted to thank you for submitting this recipe.

Hampton man may be freed on house arrest pending sex assault trial
Leonard Aldrich, 64, of Hampton, is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls and a boy, now age 7, between December 2010 and January 2012.
He is charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault. His trial begins in May.
Judge Marguerite Wageling lowered Aldrich's bail to $1,000 cash from $20,000 – contingent upon him being accepted into the Supervised Community Release from Incarceration Program.
The SCRIP program is a program operated by the corrections and sheriff's department. Aldrich would have to be approved for the program to be released.
Defense lawyer Patrick Fleming said that arrangements have been made through Aldrich's family that he could live in a Hampton home and abide by conditions that he have no contact with victims or witnesses in the case.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued for keeping Aldrich jailed, citing concerns that the county had no way to supervise him.
Wageling declared a mistrial during the second day of Aldrich's trial when it was revealed the defense did not have access to all documents from the state's Division of Children, Youth and Families concerning the alleged abuse.
Hampton police arrested Aldrich last Jan. 29.

Having missed the Division 3 regionals by a mere three points in 2012 motivated the Armada competitive cheer team to do better this season.
And that the girls did.
With an overall score of 714.78 at Fridays districts in Richmond, Armada secured the Tigers first-ever trip to the regional finals. They followed in third behind Notre Dame Preps top score of 772.22 and the Blue Devils 771.90.
Coach Tammi St. Onge took over the varsity team last fall and had a strong core of girls returning from the previous seasons near miss.
Led by six seniors -- Sydney Waskin, Lauren Okray, Christy Lauren, Taylor Watson, Morgan Weidner, Mackayla McCarthy the team was determined to make the cut the next time.
It was such a small gap (three points) and it inspired the girls, said St. Onge. They werent going to let it happen again.
Okray agreed with her coach.
We used it as drive to take it and go all the way this year, she said. We have goals and try to get progressively better during the season.
When St. Onge, 25, a Upper Peninsula transplant, began tryouts to begin the year she was surprised at how many girls were vying for a spot on the team.
I actually had to make cuts because so many tried out, she said. When I took over last fall there were only nine girls on the team. I think they saw how good they did last season and wanted to be a part of it.
With the seniors taking charge and making a huge difference in our success, St. Onge says they are going into the regionals without any expectations.
Its a new experience for us so were just doing what we need to do in practice and worrying about ourselves, St. Onge said. Im very excited by all the girls hard work. Its so rewarding for a coach to see them do this well.
But it wasnt enough to just be at practice,
To prepare for this Saturday we tried to get better one day at a time, Waskins said. Thats what we focus on at practice every day, to be better than we were the day before. We try to improve every day for ourselves the seniors, the seniors for the underclassmen, for our coach and for everyone involved with the team.
Out of the three rounds -- cheer, gymnastics and stunting that make up the competition, the coach, a former Marquette High School cheerleader herself, considers the stunting part to be the teams strongest point.
We were ranked No. 1 at the beginning of season for stunting, she said.
The Tiger cheer team wants to send a message this time around.
I definitely feel we have the talent and were ready to prove that we have it in ourselves so we want to let the other teams know were coming for it, Watson said.
St. Onge formerly held the coaching positions at Armada middle school from 2007-09 and the Romeo JV team from 2010-11 before becoming Armadas head coach.
She is engaged to Josh Swatfell, who is excited to see how well the girls are doing.
Division 3 competitive cheer regional finals will be at 6 p.m. Saturday in Oxford.

Polk County:
Saddle Creek Park is a series of phosphate pits on 740 acres of mined phosphate land east of Lakeland off U.S. Route 92 in Polk County. The park provides convenient opportunities for family outings, picnics, boating, and fishing. An abundance of bank fishing makes this a unique Fish Management Area. Channel catfish are stocked regularly by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and largemouth bass are popular with Saddle Creek anglers. The special regulations on largemouth bass (15-24 inch protective slot limit, 3 fish bag limit) and catfish (6 fish bag limit) are needed to maintain desirable fish populations under intense fishing pressure. Fish feeders are operated and maintained near a number of bank fishing sites. Fishing for catfish and bluegill is often good in these areas. Willow is the major shoreline vegetation. There are a number of public boat ramps on Saddle Creek Park Road, which runs through the middle of the park.
For more information contact Phillips Bait and Tackle at 863-666-2248.Anglers can also check out this outstanding Web site.
Bluegill (bream) fishing is improving with the warmer water, and they can be caught with crickets and red wigglers. Catfish can be caught on chicken livers and commercial stink baits around deeper holes. Bank fishing opportunities here are excellent. Largemouth bass fishing is picking up. Anglers have recently reported a 10 and 12 pounder being caught. Use live wild shiners for the best action, and try plastic worms in Junebug, red shad, and Christmas colors fished slowly along the edges and near drop-offs. Many anglers target black crappie (specks) during the winter months, but switch to bream during summer. Live Missouri minnows and small jigs trolled or drifted are the best bets for good speck action.
FWC Facts:Fish Camp is a week-long program where kids are emerged in fun activities that teach aquatic education, conservation, stewardship, safe boating and paddling, and of course fishing.

Help and advice
Help and advice
Where to find advice
For any medicine you have been prescribed, your doctor or local pharmacist are the best people to provide help and advice. Other sources of advice include:
- Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) – patient-friendly leaflets available for every prescription medicine in Australia. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor to print a CMI with your next prescription. They're free!
- NPS Better choices, Better health – is a government-funded service which offers a range of information on medicines at www.nps.org.au
- Health consumer organisations or disease support organisations – provide useful information and support on specific diseases. A good place to start is www.healthinsite.gov.au
Simple printed advice with every prescription medicine
Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) is available for every prescription medicine in Australia. The CMI is a leaflet that provides important information to consider before, during and after you finish a course of treatment. It will help you know exactly what you are taking and what to expect when you take it. The CMI is carefully prepared by The Australian Medicines Industry in a standardised, easy-to-follow format.
The CMI provides information on:
- the name of the medicine
- the names of the active ingredients in the medicine, as well as any inactive ingredients
- the type of medicine, e.g. tablet, injection, cream or other
- what the medicine is used for
- how it works
- how to use the medicine properly
- warnings and precautions – such as when not to take the medicine
- any interactions the medicine might have with other medicines or food
- possible unwanted side effects
- what to do in the case of an overdose
- how to store the medicine properly
- the manufacturer's name and address
- the date the CMI was last updated.
The first time you take a new medicine
When your medicine is dispensed by your pharmacist they will check if this is the first time you have been prescribed the medicine. If it is, they will usually access the Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) database on their computer and print a copy for you to take home. All pharmacists are able to print a copy of any CMI when they dispense your medicine.
Before taking any new prescription medicine, you should always read the CMI. If anything in the leaflet is unclear, you can always ask your pharmacist or doctor to explain what you have read.
If for any reason your pharmacist doesn't print you a CMI or if you misplace it, you can always ask for another copy. Alternatively you can download it yourself free-of-charge online at selective Australian websites.
Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) can be found at the following Australian websites:
- Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) – www.ebs.tga.gov.au
- NPS Better choices, Better health – www.nps.org.au/search_by_medicine_name
- The company who produced your medicine – check the pack for details
- Medicines.org – www.medicines.org.au
Old or expired medicines
You may have some medicines that have been sitting in your fridge or medicine cabinet for a long time, or you may have finished a course of treatment and still have some medicine left over. If you are in this position and are not sure of how to dispose of your unwanted medicine, visit the Return Unwanted Medicines (RUM) Project online at www.returnmed.com.au.
The RUM project will show you the safest and most environmentally friendly way to dispose of your unwanted medicine. Alternatively, you can take any expired or unused medicines to the pharmacy so they can dispose of the medicine correctly.

Behind in the polls and facing mounting panic among his donors, Mitt Romney is readying his secret weapon for the debates: Zingers.
"Mr. Romney's team has concluded that debates are about creating moments and has equipped him with a series of zingers that he has memorized and has been practicing on aides since August," reports the New York Times.
Pro tip: If your strategy to turn the presidential election around relies on Romney's sense of comic timing, you might want to prepare a Plan B, as well.
The idea that this election can be reshaped by a zinger speaks to a deeper problem in the Romney campaign's fundamental view of the race. As they see it, Obama's record is an obvious disaster and their job entails little more than pointing that out over and over again. That the polls haven't seemed responsive to this theory hasn't dissuaded them. The new explanation for Romney's difficulties is that the media are in the tank for Obama and that's why the Romney campaign's message isn't breaking through.
But during the debates, voters will see the two men on a stage together, with no media filter, and that could change everything. After the first debate, says Romney surrogate Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), "this whole race is going to be turned upside down."
That's the kind of thinking that leads you to pepper your debate prep with zingers. But it's also the kind of thinking that's losing this race for Romney.
The American people know the economy is bad. In poll after poll, pluralities say they're worse off today than they were four years ago, and majorities say the country is on the wrong track. And yet Obama leads anyway.
The reason Obama is ahead is that voters, much to the surprise of the political consultant class, seem perfectly able to hold two seemingly contrary ideas in their head at the same time. They both think that things today are pretty bad and that things today would be worse if Obama hadn't been president. That's not speculation on my part. A recent Allstate/National Journal/Heartland Monitor poll asked Americans exactly that question, and 48 percent to 41 percent, they said they were better off today because Obama won in 2008, even though they also said, 34 percent to 31 percent, that they were worse off today than they were four years ago.
That doesn't mean Romney is doomed to lose this election. But he needs to do more than convince voters that the economy is bad at this very moment. He needs to convince them that the economy will be better if he's elected president. And that means convincing them that he's got a policy agenda capable of turning the economy around.
Which gets to Romney's real challenge in the debates, which has also been his real difficulty throughout the campaign: He doesn't have an appealing policy agenda capable of turning this thing around, and his party hasn't given him the freedom to construct one.
Consider Romney's tax plan, which has given his campaign no end of trouble. The most credible analyses suggest it will amount to a large tax cut on the rich and either a tax increase on the middle class or a lot of deficit spending. But Romney initially had a much more reasonable tax plan.
Early in the campaign, Romney proposed extending the Bush tax cuts and cutting capital gains taxes on everyone but the rich. If he had stuck with that more modest plan — or if he'd been able to have a Nixon-to-China moment on taxes and propose raising them on wealthy people like himself — he'd be in much better shape today. But back in the primary, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum all had gigantic, ridiculous tax cuts, and those tax cuts seemed to be helping them in the polls. And so the Romney campaign yoked itself to a gigantic, ridiculous tax cut, too. Hence his current problems.
The rest of Romney's policies follow a similar pattern. Romney's budget proposal, while less specific than Paul Ryan's, actually wants to cut around $1.7 trillion more in federal spending while sharply increasing defense spending and holding Medicare and Social Security harmless. Making those numbers add up would require cutting every federal program that isn't Social Security, Medicare or defense by about 40 percent in 2016. That's ludicrous, and it's why the Romney campaign has been so afraid of offering specifics.
Elsewhere, his effort to avoid alienating parts of the conservative coalition has forced Romney to be vague on issues where the electorate might have rewarded fresh thinking. Despite being the first governor in the nation to actually pass and implement a universal health-care program, Romney has limited his proposal to repealing "Obamacare" — which looks a lot like Romneycare — and replacing it with . . . something. Despite knowing the world of finance much better than the incumbent does and thus having a real opportunity to make waves with a tough financial regulation proposal, Romney has stopped at promising to roll back Dodd-Frank and replace it with . . . something.
In 2008, Romney had one of the larger fiscal stimulus proposals. But since Republicans have now abandoned the very idea of stimulus, he's been forced to offer a jobs plan that relies exclusively on slow-acting policies to increase domestic energy production and retrain workers and sign new trade agreements. None of that has even the slightest chance of significantly changing the economy in 2013, or even 2014.
The Romney campaign's strategy of papering over the fractures in the GOP with a vague policy platform would have worked if hammering Obama's record had been enough to take control of this race. But it hasn't been, and now Romney is losing. Zingers aren't going to change that. But perhaps some new policies might.
