Going 'green' saves 'the green' in Alfred University's trayless dining halls
The proof is in the pudding… or more precisely, in the fries, bagels, cereal, cheese, milk, soft drinks, juice and bottled water, the staples of college dining hall menus.
Prompted by its students, Alfred University and AVI Fresh, a division of AVI Foodsystems, Inc. AVI Fresh, its food service partner, opted to do away with dining hall trays at the beginning of the 2008 spring semester, hoping to cut down on food waste and, at the same time, perhaps save some money.
The results are in, and they confirm what Green Alfred, a student group that promotes sustainability, and University officials surmised they would see – a reduction in food and beverage waste, and a savings in cleaning chemicals if they did away with the trays, which foster an all-you-can-carry, rather than an all-you-can-eat mentality.
John Dietrich, director of Dining Services for AVI Fresh, said he ran comparisons on beverages and food items that college students consume daily, regardless of what else may be on the menu.
"Overall, we saw a reduction in the gallons of beverages and the pounds of food used," said Dietrich, who compared the spring '08 consumption to the same items for spring '07, when trays were still in use.
Dietrich saw a 9.2 percent reduction in the gallons of milk, soft drinks, bottled water and juice sold, and a 12 percent reduction in the pounds of food (bagels, cereal, deli cheeses and French fries).
But that is not the complete story, Dietrich notes, because the University also saw a 3.2 percent increase in the number of meals served in its two dining halls. Adjusting for the additional meals served, he said, means the actual savings is even greater: 11 percent on beverages and 14 percent on food.
Dietrich had also anticipated that shelving the trays (they were actually donated to REPO, a student-run center that supplies recycled items for art projects) would save on the chemicals used in cleaning trays and dishes, and he was right. The savings on chemicals was even more significant – a 29 percent reduction.
In actual dollars, the University also saw a savings on its food and chemical bills, even though the prices went up. "By cutting consumption, we were actually able to reduce what we paid for food and chemicals, even though the prices we paid to our suppliers for those items increased," said Dietrich.
But the cost of beverages, even with the reduction in the number of gallons served, increased. "Without the trayless initiative, though, we would have seen an even greater increase in the amount we paid for beverages, especially since the number of meals we served also increased," said Dietrich.

Google Penguin Update – What It is and How It Affects a Website
The Google Penguin update is here to stay. Read on to understand what it is and how it affects a website. The world of search engine optimization is unpredictable. While sometimes the changes that strike are minor, at other times they are groundbreaking. The recent Google Penguin update is an example of the latter. But with an SEO company taking care of all your website optimization, you'll be better prepared to weather the storm.
What Is Google Penguin about?
So what exactly is Google Penguin? It is a collection of changes numbering to over 50 and released on April 24, 2012, aimed at punishing websites that have been optimized too much for the search engine through practices such as excessive stuffing of keywords and too much linking.
Specifically, Google Penguin has been introduced to target the websites that place greater importance on advertising themselves than giving users a better and more useful experience. Blogs and websites that carry excessive link building and keyword stuffing, publish irrelevant content for attracting more traffic, and create misleading doorway pages are targeted. These are websites that don't strictly adhere to the SEO guidelines by Google.
The Effects of the Penguin Update
In theory that's a good thing. But, as has often been seen with Google's algorithmic changes, the trouble arises when more than the expected number of websites suffer sudden declines in traffic and rankings. That is reported to have happened with the Google Penguin update. So is your website among those affected?
Quality content writing can help face these changes. Content that is created not only with the aim of pumping rankings, but that genuinely gives users what they are looking for rewards. Low quality content efficiently optimized for the search engine just would not work any more. The content has got to have quality and resourcefulness.
Tips for Good Content Writing
The key to good content is to avoid unnecessary use of keywords. More keywords will no longer translate to more optimized content. Good content should also be capable of becoming a buzz in the various social networks. Social media optimization is one of the most effective means of bringing in traffic without depending on the search engine rankings alone.
For articles and blogs to really become popular in the social media websites, the content should again have quality and also be interesting, original and compelling. This is exactly why you need to hire the professional content writers of an SEO company. Content in your website should also be constantly updated.
Blogs and Online Forums
Content should be created for online forums and blogs. These are great venues for getting backlinks as well as greater publicity. Forums and blogs are where discussions between various users take place. It is almost like a world stage where your content is placed and your identity made known. It is great for website traffic and overall business exposure.
As you've seen, websites following accepted SEO techniques including a user-friendly interface and quality content have no reason to fear the Google Penguin updates in the long term, or any of Google's future updates. The inconsistent search rankings, if present, would be ironed out. With professional SEO services working for you, you would not have to worry too much about the Google Penguin update, what it is and how it affects a website.

Advancing on the handle?
Okay this may seem like a silly question but me and my friend got into this discussion after riding the other day. After I went out the front on a blind 360, he said that my problem was that I pulled the handle to my hips while in the air. I always assumed that proper form on a spin was pop pull pass in that order. He said that his technique was he would advance his hips to the handle right before leaving the wake and then initiate the spin by pulling the handle towards the small of his back while in the air. My question is is this the way to spin correctly? His spins are a lot more consistent than mine while I am decent at them they are sometimes off axis and I struggle with getting the handle a lot more. Are you supposed to pull the handle to your hip while on the wake for every trick short of a raley? I guess I don't really understand one of the basic foundations of whiteboarding LOL. I don't ever do this I also struggle reaching te board on grabs and think it may be related too. What's embarrassing is I have been riding for 10 years and never have thought of this
Your friend says that he is advancing his hips towards to handle, I might suggest that he is actually bringing the handle in to his hips (rather the hips to handle), right before take off.
I'm no pro but it maybe would help for you to get the handle into position (close as possible to your hips) before, or right at the beginning of, your approach to the wake.
Again, I'm not the greatest rider, so this is just my 2 cents.
I'm no expert, but this video seems to illustrate a pretty rock solid 360 technique that indicates pull to pass in the air. With the 360, low line tension is going to make it easier to spin and execute the handle pass. So pulling the rope to your hips right before your hip is going to increase the line tension.
I don't see how pulling the handle into your hips in the air would make you go over the front. You're going over the nose, or you're going over your toe edge?
I am with j-rod. I dont see how advancing the handle would cause this. Without video I would imagine you are either under spinning it a bit or landing front foot heavy. The only time I advance the handle is when I am spinning TS Backside, I cut in D.Harf style with my but sticking out. As I ride up the wake I start to stand tall and advance the handle towards my lead hip. I do think your friend might be describing keeping the handle in tight.
Various instructional video I have watched in the past always say pull the handle towards your hip at the peak of the wake, including on grabs, backrolls etc. I guess this is why I am confused. Look at shaun murays detention videos.
Out the front is out the front regardless of nose or edge it all depends which way I am spinning and where I am in the spin. I guess my shoulders are getting in front of my hips if that helps you
Tom pulling the handle in increases line tension?? How is that
IMO the best way to spin is arms slightly bent on approach and takeoff. That gives you room to pull (or advance yourself towards the handle) once you're in the air but makes the travel distance less (as compared to arms straight out) to get the handle pass. So arms slightly bent, pop, pull the handle to your hip, then pass.
pulling the handle in to your body is intended to reduce line tension during the handle pass.
I do it both ways. I can do heel front 3's with the handle pinned at my rear hip starting from the time I begin the cut in to the wake. Or I can pop, pull, and then pass. The later usually forces me to slow down the spin and pop better. The later also seems to work better for 5s.

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was reluctant to return to the team for a second season because of his strained relationship with coach Brad Childress, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
"Brett just doesn't trust him," an unidentified Vikings player told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday.
This wouldn't be the first time there have been reports of a fractured relationship between Childress and Favre.
Childress, asked about his rift with Favre last season, told the Pioneer Press in July: "We had a little bit of creative tension. But it was more driven because he didn't know how I'm wired and I didn't know how he's wired."
The two didn't always see eye to eye, including when Favre refused to come out of a game at Carolina on Dec. 20. There also were instances in which Childress wanted to pull Favre from games because Favre changed plays sent in by offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
Childress seems to have issues not only with his quarterback but also with other players on the team, according to the report. Childress, who wasn't scheduled to talk to the media on Tuesday, had special-teams coach Brian Murphy and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell lie about the whereabouts of Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson and Ryan Longwell, who were returning from Hattiesburg, Miss., after persuading Favre to return to the team.
The move didn't sit well with players, according to the report.
"Chilli can't even tell the truth about that," the player told Yahoo! Sports. "I mean, how ridiculous is that? What's the big deal that he has to lie? Worse, he has to tell other guys to lie for him."
Childress apologized to Bevell and Murphy before starting his news conference Wednesday.
"A lot of moving parts in things like this, and I shouldn't have put Murph and Bev in front of you guys and have them have to cross their fingers behind their back and talk to you guys," Childress said.
Neither Childress nor Favre was asked about the reported rift during the news conference.

A hullicinogen (i'm too lazy to check spelling. I might edit it later). It's found in cough suppresents.
Ever heard:
"lets go robotrippin!"
They are referring to robitussinDM. About 2 bottles with send a Rookie to 2nd or 3rd platau. A Platau is the levels of a DXM high. There are 4 platau
1st- Mild buzz. wierd feeling.
2nd- severe buzz. A feeling of falling over or drunkedness
3rd- hullicinations. (maybe paranoia) trippy. like acid.
4th- (extremely hard to reach and dangerous) A very hard trip! Feelings of Paranormal activity. May have out-of-body experiences. Alien contact. Celetial entities. And other odd things. VERY EXITING AND FUN. But extremly scary and thrilling. people who are easily scared or frightend will probably loose they're cookies.
All this info is from Erowid by the way. And my own experiences. To find this you need to have a certain chemicle found in the syrup/pill. I don't know the full name. It's called DXM for short. I know it when I see it. Anyways for a mild high take about 300 mg. or dxm. for 2nd to 3rd plat. take around 600mg. for 4th (try at own risk) take about 900mg. okay. Thats all u really need 2 know. It's legal and verrrrry trippy. have fun. It also dosen't show up in drug tests.
Pleasant triping

Safe viewing of eclipses of the Sun and Transits
Penumbral eclipse of the Moon 2017 February 11
Annular eclipse of the Sun 2017 February 26
Partial eclipse of the Moon 2017 August 7
Eclipses in 2017
There are four eclipses in 2017, two each of the Sun and moon. Four is the minimum number of eclipses there can be in a year.
The first solar eclipse on February 26 is annular with a path starting at sunrise in the south Pacific Ocean well west of Southern Chile. Its path takes it over Southern Chile and Argentina before heading off across the Atlantic Ocean towards Africa. It make landfall again in southern Angola near the time of sunset. The eclipse ends at sunset in the southern-most part of the Congo Republic near its border with Zambia. The second solar eclipse is total, it starts at sunrise in the northern Pacific and crosses the continental U.S.A. from Oregon to South Carolina. The eclipse ends at sunset in the Atlantic west of Africa. No part of either solar eclipse is visible from New Zealand.
By contrast to the solar eclipses, the two lunar eclipses are very paltry affairs. Neither are total; the first on February 11 is penumbral, the second on August 7 is partial. The lunar eclipse on February 11 takes place 2 weeks before the annular eclipse of the Sun. It is entirely a penumbral event, with the Earth only obscuring part of the solar disk as seen from the moon. 98.9% of the moon's diameter will be in the penumbra while a sliver, 1.1% of the diameter wide, near the moon's south pole, will remain in full sunlight. No part of the moon's disk will enter the Earth's full shadow. The entire eclipse will be best seen from Africa, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. At the second lunar eclipse on August 7 the moon will move a little more deeply into the Earth's shadow so that at its maximum almost one-quarter of the moon's diameter will be completely shaded from the Sun. The remaining 75% will be in the part shadow, the penumbra. In this case the southern quarter of the moon will be darkened. The remainder, still partly sunlit, will be somewhat dimmed. The start of the eclipse will be visible from New Zealand, with the moon setting after mid eclipse. Australia sees the whole of the eclipse.
More information on eclipses can be obtained at the NASA eclipse pages: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/.
Diagrams, maps and the tables showing times of phases of lunar eclipses have been prepared using David Herald's Occult 4 program.
Viewing Eclipses of the Sun and Transits of Planets across the Sun
Whenever the Sun is to be observed safe viewing methods must be used. Any attempt to view the Sun directly could result in instant blindness.
The safest way is to project the image of the Sun onto a suitable screen. Alternatively a suitable, specially designed, Solar filter may be placed in front of the telescope.
It is not safe to use a filter at the eyepiece as the focussed heat from the Sun could shatter it. If unsure of safe methods consult your local astronomical society about suitable ways of observing Solar events.
Penumbral eclipse of the Moon 2017 February 11
At this eclipse of the moon a maximum of 98.9% of the moon's diameter moves into the Earth's penumbral shadow, with 1.1% remaining in full sunlight. The uneclipsed sliver will be near the moon's south pole, while the most northerly parts of the moon will be close to, but not in, the umbra. So we may expect this part of the moon to be distinctly dulled, with the surface brightening further south.
In a penumbral eclipse an observer on the moon would see part of the Sun covered by the dark Earth. In this eclipse the greatest amount covered would be seen in the north. As the observer moved south on the moon less of the Sun would be covered until in the far south no part of the very low Sun would be hidden.
As seen from the Earth the moon will be visible from northeast Canada and eastern South America, Europe. Africa and the Middle East throughout the eclipse. Changes in the moon's brightness will not be very marked. In the remainder of north and south America the moon will rise during the eclipse. As seen from much of eastern Asia, the moon will set during the eclipse, as it will from most of Indonesia. No part of the eclipse is visible from Australia, New Zealand or the western parts of the Pacific, including Japan and the Philippines.
Times of the start, maximum and end of the eclipse are shown on the diagram, which also shows the parts of the Earth from which the various stages are visible. The coloured circles at the top left shows the path of the moon (outlined and numbered 1, 4 and 7) through the penumbral part of the Earth's shadow.
Annular eclipse of the Sun, 2017 February 26
The annular eclipse of the Sun on February 26 starts in the southern Pacific Ocean well west of Southern Chile. The Sun will rise in annular eclipse at a point about 3500 km west of the southern coast of Chile and about 1000 km south of Easter Island (I. de Pasaua). As it rises, 97.7% of the diameter of the solar disk will be covered by the moon. The width of the annular path will be 96 km and the duration of the annular eclipse 82.4 seconds.
At first the annular path will move slightly south of due east to cross the coast of Southern Chile about 18 minutes later at the I. Rivero. Inland in Chile it passes close to Coihaique and then Facundo in Argentina. By then the Sun will be 98.6% covered and the annular phase will last 64.5 seconds. The annular path leaves the east coast of Argentina close to Cape Dos Bahias some 11 minutes after it crossed the west coast.
As the path moves out across the Atlantic Ocean it swings more to the northeast. Maximum eclipse occurs well out in the Atlantic Ocean at about longitude 31° W and latitude 35° south at near local midday. At the maximum 99.2% of the solar disk will be covered by the moon, and the annular phase will last only 44 seconds. The increase of the amount of Sun covered and the consequent shortening of the annular phase are due to the Earth's surface being closer moon when the latter is highest.
After eclipse maximum the path of the eclipse continues across the Atlantic passing well south of St Helena. It crosses the coast of Africa in southern Angola a little to the north of Mocamedes. By then the Sun will be near setting, a little way inland it will indeed set before the end of the eclipse although the annular phase will remain visible as it crosses Angola and enters the extreme south of the Congo Republic along the border with Zambia. The annular eclipse ends as the sun sets to the northwest of Lubumbashi about 3 hours 15 minutes after it started in the Pacific. At its end 97.8% of the solar disk will be covered, with the annular phase lasting 77.4 seconds.
No part of the eclipse is visible from Australia nor from New Zealand.
Partial eclipse of the Moon 2017 August 7
At this eclipse a maximum of just under 25% of the moon's diameter will be immersed in the umbral, full shadow of the Earth. In this case it will be the southern part of the moon which is darkened. The remainder of the moon will be in the penumbra, partial shadow, of the Earth. The entire eclipse is visible from the east coast of Africa central Asia except the north Indonesia and Australia except the eastern seaboard. The moon rises during the eclipse as seen from the rest of Africa, Europe and western Asia. Further east the moon will set during the eclipse as seen from much of the remainder of Asia, Indonesia and Australia. From the New Zealand the eclipse will start with the moon low to the west. All parts will see the beginning of the umbral phase, visible in its entirety from the South Island, before the moon sets.
Total eclipse of the Sun 2017 August 21
The total eclipse on August 21 starts at sunrise in the north Pacific Ocean about half way between Hawaii and the eastern most part of Siberia. The total eclipse moves eastwards to enter the U.S.A. in Oregon a little south of Portland with Salem in the path. After crossing the U.S.A. the eclipse leaves the country from South Carolina with Charleston in the path. It heads across the Atlantic Ocean towards Africa, but ends at sunset still west of the continent and to the south of the Cape Verdi Islands.
The greatest duration of totality is just over 160 seconds and occurs along a belt from south of St Louis, Missouri, to north of Nashville in Tennessee. The maximum path width of totality is 155 km.
No part of the eclipse is visible from New Zealand or Australia apart from the western coast of the latter where the eclipse starts as the Sun sets.

Dr. Seuss' GREEN EGGS AND HAM
Unlocking the (imaginary?) hidden meanings within nonsense can automatically set one to thinking of the mysteries. This, done with discipline, can lead to deep contemplation of Holy things and God Himself and that is the true path to illumination.
This can be done with any seemingly nonsensical text you may choose; Grimms Fairy Tales, ancient Egyptian papyri, the Bible, the morning news etc. The source is unimportant however, the method is difficult without the aid of the Holy Qabalah.
For example, let's take the seemingly innocuous modern children's book, Green Eggs And Ham. By deciphering the meaning between the lines, the roots of words, the correspondence on the Tree of Life, and connections to myths, we can invoke the truth that lies hidden. As written in Hermes Emerald tablet and the Mag Hamadi Scriptures, "AS ABOVE, SO BELOW." Distilling the information to extract the "gold" from the original matter is an alchemical transformation operation.
The book begins with the innocent sentence,
This simple phrase is perhaps the most sublime. Sam can be seen as an abbreviation of the sacred Sanskrit mantra from Vedic literature, So'Ham, which means "I am that." Thus we have the Hebrew God name Eheieh or I Am That I Am. Sam can also be seen as one of the the root words of Samadhi, which means "together with," sam, "the Lord," Adhi. Thus we have together with, I Am. Either way this is certainly Kether; the uppermost sephiroth on the tree of life--complete unity. This blissful state is secretly betrayed by the repeating of it. Here also, we have the appearance of a new character. He is the witness to the statement repeated,
Dualism has been evoked and heaven will never be the same. The negative veils of existence have been shattered. Kether has given way to Chokmah and Binah, the Yin And Yang of creation. There is nothing left but to look to where this new consciousness emanated and to speak what now appears in reverse.
Like an inverted pentagram, the truth is seen improperly due to the faulty perspective of the viewer. Immediately, we see the second character resist. He states,
Here we have it! The Ego separates from the now Higher-Self (Sam-I-Am) and begins to resent it, not realizing he is it! This resentment is the root of all human error as Nietzsche so exactly examines in Will to Power. Yes, the original sin is committed. The observer posits himself separate from the observed. But the Higher-Self is ready with a solution, an offering, a Holy Eucharist,
He offers. Again, the Ego resists,
In an act of compassion or perhaps some sort of Zen joke the Higher-Self asks,
But it is to late. The Fall from Grace has begun. Adam is banished from the Garden by his inevitable refusal to cooperate. But the Higher-Self follows and asks,
Here the Ego has descended to Malkuth and is presented to himself, the mouse or mus, which means ego, in its small pathetic symbolic form. Yea! And the Ego resisteth.
Now the house has turned into a box and the Ego, a fox. In typical reverse meaning like the Chinese finger torture toy I used to get at carnivals that would tighten the harder you would pull, the further the Ego separates from the Higher-Self the more confined it becomes, as represented by the box, and the more wily the ego becomes, as it is represented by the fox. Yea! And the Ego resisteth.
Here, they have found themselves in a car. A car, symbolic of the body, has four wheels, like the four elements. It is in motion, like the swastika, which is a cross in motion. And Yea! the Ego resisteth.
The car now drives up a tree, obviously the Tree of Life itself. And Yea! the Ego resisteth.
They rapidly fall down from the tree to the train. Trains have forever been associated with the sex act and verily they are sped off into a tunnel.
The chakra roller-coaster ride continues. This descent into darkness by means of the sexual act is familiar to all and would be an insult to the reader for me to comment further. And Yea! The Ego resisteth.
In a moment of Grace they are freed from the tunnel and are exposed to the rain. Ah! the sweet, sad, beautiful rain. But even this blessing is spat upon by the now lost Ego who begins to believe he is master in his separation. And Yea! The Ego resisteth.
Now of all characters, of all possibilities, who would he now meet at the near end of his travels, but the old goat himself, Satan, King of the Fallen, Lord of this World, Master of Illusion and Separation.
And finally the boat, the blessed ark, or perhaps the Eygptian Henu boat, is sent as an another act of grace for his return but Yea! the Ego resisteth. Finally, the Higher-Self makes one last plea.
Then, not because of faith, not because of wisdom, not because of divine revelation, but because of a long slow evolutionary process he accepts the Eucharist just so he will no longer be tormented and Lo and Behold! He is awakened by the divine sacrament.
The Ego realizes fighting his divine will is not only futile but that giving in is bliss!
For his tormenter was himself, his Higher-Self, his Holy Gaurdian Angel. The torment came from the Egos perception of being separate from The All.
But what are the Green Eggs and Ham? Are they symbolic of the fear of the unknown? Are they the delicious rewards of selflessness? Or is the ham the forbidden fruit of bodily existence and the two eggs the symbol of rebirth? Are they green for fertility and growth? After all, God's creation is creation and is meant to perpetuate itself by its own nature. Maybe it is a koan, not meant to have one answer, but meant to inspire the seeker on his path.
Yea! Verily there is nothing left but to rejoice with a prayer. For all is one. I am Sam! We all are Sam!
Thank you!
Thank you!

FARO, Portugal (AP) — Captain Rachel Buehler scored in her 100th game for the national team to help the U.S. women open the 20th Algarve Cup with a 3-0 win over Iceland on Wednesday.
Shannon Boxx and Abby Wambach also scored for the Americans, who are seeking their ninth title in 18 appearances in the event.
Iceland nearly scored first with a header from inside the penalty area in the 19th minute, but goalkeeper Jillian Loyden made the save.
Buehler opened the scoring off a corner by Lauren Cheney corner in the 48th, and Boxx doubled the lead when she headed in Christie Rampone's cross in the 63rd.
Wambach scored her 154th career goal off an assist by Alex Morgan in the 86th, putting her four goals away from tying Mia Hamm's team record.

text: I recently sold my Renzetti Traveller to a fellow list member in anticipation of buying a Nor-Vise that I had found at a great price. I delayed too long in following up with the Nor-Vise deal, but then thought I had found a different deal with a gent listing gear on another FFing website. He had an older Renzetti Presentation vise and was asking only $125 for it. I bit, of course, sent him my money order. That was almost three weeks ago. Sent him an email after Thanksgiving asking if he had received the money order and he confirmed that he had and said he'd send the vise right away. Nada, zilch, zero... no vise, no communications and now I don't have the wherewithal to even buy a used replacement Traveller should I find one. ANYWAY... I am desparate now and need to come up with some kinda deal for a vise so I can start tying my son's Christmas flies. If anyone has a decent vise that is underutilized I would really appreciate hearing about it... I am cash poor just now since moving but have some "special" tying materials that I could offer in trade along with hooks and other tying goodies. I could probably come up with a few bucks, too but not much. (God I hate this... feel like I am beggin'!). I also have a couple of decent reel seats that I would part with if that would interest anyone. Let me know and thanks y'all! Steve Cole Vashon Island PS I know this is a long shot, but if anyone knows members of the Dallas Fly Fishers who might know a guy by the name of Richard Kilgore of Irving Texas... I would appreciate knowing how to get in touch with them. I just want to find out what happened to the vise I thought I bought (and/or my money!?!).

Authorities put out an alert this morning for fugitive Jesus Gomez Montes, who is accused of sexually assaulting three girls under age 10 in homes he shared with them. A $1 million arrest warrant has been issued for the Lake Forest 34-year-old, who could receive a 130-year prison sentence if captured and convicted of the charges pending against him.
Between 2002 and 2005, Montes lived in at least two multi-bedroom homes in Lake Forest shared by multiple families, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office (OCDA). He allegedly got to the girls in these homes and assaulted them sexually, the OCDA alleges.
In April, one girl told a school counselor about the sexual assault from a decade earlier, prompting contact with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, which launched an investigation. That uncovered the two other girls, and Montes was later charged with a felony count of sexual intercourse with a child 10 years or younger and seven felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14, with sentencing allegations for having more than one victim and substantial sexual conduct with a child.
Meanwhile, he's gone missing, so the OCDA and sheriff's department have released his description: Hispanic, 5-feet-7, 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He may be driving a 2004 gold Nissan Murano California license plate 6PWE354, and he may be somewhere in South County, including Laguna Beach or Lake Forest, or Riverside County, where he has relatives.
Anyone with information regarding Montes' whereabouts or who believes they have been a victim is encouraged to contact Supervising District Attorney Investigator Lou Gutierrez at 714.347.8794. Anonymous tips can be left with Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1.855.TIP.OCCS.
Besides a maximum 130 years in prison, Montes faces lifetime sex offender registration if convicted.

Time for Huskies to show they can produce
Updated 12:44 am, Thursday, August 29, 2013
STORRS -- The time is now.
No more talk about being anxious. No more talk about urgency. No more talk about excitement. No more talk, period.
It's time for the UConn Huskies to start speaking with their actions.
After back-to-back 5-7 seasons, the 2013 Huskies make their debut tonight (7:30 p.m. online at ESPN3) at Rentschler Field against Towson, the first of three straight home games -- Maryland and Michigan are next. Getting the season off to a winning start is paramount if the Huskies want to make it to a bowl game for the first time since 2010 and keep third-year head coach Paul Pasqualoni from sitting on the hot seat.
"Every team is different. Every team has its own identity. I don't think you establish your identity until you start playing the season," Pasqualoni said. "There'll be some things, some new wrinkles, like there are every year. We're looking forward to flat-out, great execution. Great assignments, guys playing well together. Good communication, being productive on offense and scoring points. Don't really care if we score running or throwing as long as we get points on the board."
Scoring points was a major problem last season -- the Huskies averaged just 17.8 points a game. UConn was a miserable minus-14 in the turnover department and struggled with both the run and the pass on offense. Pasqualoni is hoping that the identity of this year's UConn team is one that takes care of the ball.
"I'm not comfortable where we ended last year with the turnovers," he said. "That's something that we've talked a great deal about. I'm hopeful that the personality of this team is going to be one that respects the ball. Takes care of it. That's something we have to do.
"We've got to do a great job going into this game doing two things: not giving up a big play on defense at an ill-advised time, or any time, because big plays are bad things."
Latest Sports Video
Quarterback Chandler Whitmer (16 interceptions in 2012) knows that the pressure is on him to keep the offense in rhythm and not create turnovers.
"We're just going to try and execute what we've learned in the off-season," Whitmer said. "Just be smarter, play within myself. Not try and do too much, take what the defense gives me, all those things. If I do that, things will take care of themselves.
"If we have to punt, that's OK. Field position is part of the game as well, so there's a lot of things that we can do."
There may be a lot of things that the Huskes can do, thanks to the new playbook of offensive coordinator T.J. Weist, but most importantly, the Huskies just have to be consistent, starting with the offensive line. Last year, the offense rushed for just 87.9 yards a game -- the first time since becoming a I-A program that they didn't average 100. They also allowed 33 sacks.
The line knows it has to do better.
"We're not trying to dwell on the past," left tackle Jimmy Bennett said. "We know it wasn't the best showing last year, obviously, but the big thing for us was we really want to go out and prove that we're better than what we showed last year. We've taken our time, worked hard in getting things like our footwork correct, getting plays correct and fixing our mistakes."
Because if the line can protect Whitmer and open holes for McCombs, big plays, and points, could come in flourishes.
"They're going to be a good offensive line," McCombs said. "We're all working hard. We're all coming together as an offense. We're all comfortable playing with each other. This is not our first time playing with each other, that chemistry is getting better every day. And we'll continue to keep working hard all year."
Pasqualoni, for one, is looking forward to seeing the improvement.
"I'm anxious to see them Thursday night," the coach said. "I think we've practiced well and been consistent. It'll help Lyle. He's going to help himself a great deal just by not trying to do too much and taking what he's got. Just do your job, hit it in there and the big (plays) will come."

Children who illegally enter the United States must be granted a lawyer to help them stay and evade deportation because of "basic fairness," demands the American Civil Liberties Union.
Upset with a report that immigration officials in Artesia, N.M., want to send illegal immigrants home 10 to 15 days after being apprehended, the legal defense organization said that the stories of the children must first be investigated.
"Many children crossing the border are seeking refugee protection from violence in their home countries. Both due process and international law require that these kids' claims be fully and fairly assessed by immigration judges, not dismissed in assembly-line hearings," said Laura W. Murphy, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.
"Basic fairness requires that each child has a lawyer to assist in these life-or-death determinations," she added in a statement.
About 150,000 children from Central America are expected to cross the U.S. border this year, 10 times last year's total. Many claim to be victims of violence and sexual abuse.
The ACLU was responding to a Thursday report that officials at a newly-established illegal immigrant holding center plans the quick return of those arrested.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official at the center in southeastern New Mexico said officials plan to deport immigrants fast to send a message to others that the U.S. won't tolerate illegal immigration.
"The approach announced today threatens to deprive vulnerable children of the legal protection due to them while placing them in family detention, which has a recent history of brutality, including prison-like conditions and sexual abuse. Video hearings conducted remotely and in haste are incompatible with full and fair adjudication of immigration cases," said Murphy.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The second part of our trawl through the most important cars in automotive history
1.2 billion or so cars inhabit Planet Earth right now. In case you've forgotten what a billion looks like, it's 1,000 million. So 1.2 billion is 1,200,000,000 cars. That is a lot of metal on the move.
We've been poring over our photo archive, starting with the really dusty stuff from 1908, to pick out what we believe to have been the biggest game-changers in motoring history.
We covered the first 60 years in a separate story. Now we're wrapping things up by looking at the period from 1968 to 1998.
Why stop there? Mainly because it's still too early to know which cars from the last two decades will be seen as having had the biggest impact. But also because we really need to put all these pictures back where they belong and our work experience bod has cried off sick.
Peugeot 504 (1968)
Go to Africa if you want to see loads of 504 estates and pick-ups because they've only recently stopped making them over there. A strong, practical and comfy car.
Ford Pinto (1970)
The Pinto's unfortunate tendency to burst into flames when hit from the rear gave it a reputation as 'the barbecue that can seat four' but it put a lot of people on the road.
Fiat 127 (1971)
Car of the Year in 1972, the Italian-built 127 hit 3.7 million sales, but loads more were built in South America, Spain (as Seats) and Yugoslavia (as Zastavas).
Fiat 126 (1972)
Maybe not as characterful as the 500 on which it was based but the 126 still did brilliantly in Fiat, Seat and Zastava dealerships, racking up nearly 4.7 million sales.
Honda Civic (1972)
18 million buyers have endorsed the Civic proposition, which has morphed into a posh offering from its original role as low-cost mass transportation.
Renault 5 (1972)
Renault sold some 5.5 million Fives, so the number 5 was obviously lucky for them. The production run lasted 12 years, which remarkably was 5 multiplied by, er, 2.4. Oh.
Volkswagen Golf (1974)
How did Volkswagen get from the Beetle to this? By employing an Italian designer called Giugiaro. The Golf regularly tops family hatch sales in Europe.
Volkswagen Polo (1975)
Another VW smash, the Polo actually began as the Audi 50 but it was brought into the VW fold when Audi moved upmarket.
Ford Fiesta (1976)
The original iteration of Ford's first transversely-engine front-driver still looks fresh and clean today. Fiesta is now up to its eighth generation.
Vauxhall Astra (1979)
You'll not find many standard gen-one Astras now, but the sporty GTE (Vauxhall's rival to the Ford Escort XR3i) is definitely worth saving.
Toyota Camry (1982)
You'd never know it from its rarity in Europe, but the Camry is among the world's best sellers at over 10 million thanks in large part to its success in America.
Fiat Uno (1983)
A fine-driving and zesty replacement for the 127, the Uno was a deserving winner of the Car of the Year award in 1984.
Opel Corsa (1983)
Early Corsas went under the Nova name in the UK, where it replaced the Chevette. Many young drivers passed their test in one of these.
Peugeot 205 (1983)
The Pininfarina-designed 205 is enduring in both design and handling. Of the 5.2 million built over 15 years, plenty are still running around in France.
Ford Taurus (1986)
They're still making seventh-generation Tauruses (Tauri?) for the Chinese market. More than seven million have been sold.
Peugeot 405 (1987)
Another Peugeot toughie commonly seen in Africa, the 405 has been built in Malaysia, Taiwan, Poland, Indonesia and Zimbabwe, and is still being built in Egypt and Iran. Five million made (so far).
Mazda MX-5/Miata (1989)
Proving that power or luxury aren't pre-requisites for fun, the present-day Frogeye Sprite has found more than a million new car buyers.
Renault Clio (1992)
The 1998 second-generation Clio eclipsed the popular first-gen Clio in sales terms with around 5.4 million assembled in French and South American factories.
Fiat Punto (1993)
Another hugely successful small Fiat, the Punto has now passed the nine million mark and continues to sell despite being outclassed by newer cars.
Ford Focus (1998)
A real game-changer in dynamics and packaging that made the previous Escort look and feel prehistoric. Buyers responded very positively to its driving appeal.
Peugeot 206 (1998)
Yet another enduring Peugeot, and this one is the French company's best-ever seller with nine million racked up so far. You can still buy new ones in Chile, Indonesia, China and Iran.

ESSEX, Md. (WJZ)—You may know someone who's suddenly become a millionaire, and it's the talk of the town in Essex.
Ron Matz reports a $1 million Mega Millions ticket was purchased at a new 7-Eleven on Eastern Boulevard.
"You're kidding me. Wow. I'm amazed. I'm going in to get mine," said Tim Orr, of Essex.
We're not kidding. The "winning ticket sold here" sign went up Wednesday morning at the 7-Eleven at 25 Eastern Boulevard.
At "7 o'clock this morning the lottery called to say that we won. I flipped out. I said 'Oh my God. Thank you,'" said Mary, 7-Eleven franchisee.
They're all flipping out in Essex. There's a millionaire in their midst.
"I think it's great. I'm loving life. I went to see my mother at Riverview, and you guys were here. I hope it's an Essex winner. Good luck," said Anna Waggner, of Essex.
And good luck for Mary. The franchise owner gets $1,000. She says the $1 million ticket was picked at random.
"It's good. Good for the neighborhood, good for the community, good for the shopping center, and good luck to the person who got it," Mary said.
This is a new 7-Eleven. It's located near the Back River Bridge. It's only been open for about a year.
The winning ticket "is going to bring more people in. It will generate more business. I think a lot of people don't know we're open yet, and this will open some doors for us," Mary said.
The winner of the $1 million prize has not come forward yet. No one hit the mega jackpot Tuesday night, so Friday's drawing is worth $216 million.

Monday — Dial M for Murder (1954)
Jimmy Stewart in transition: that's the best (but not the only) reason for seeing Call Northside 777. Stewart was just a year or two past It's a Wonderful Life and Magic Town and on his way to rendezvous with Alfred Hitchcock (Rope et al.) and Anthony Mann (Winchester '73 et al.) when he starred as cynical newspaper reporter P.J. McNeal working a story about a twelve-year-old murder.
McNeal's editor, Kelly (Lee J. Cobb), sends him off to find out who's behind an ad in the paper offering $5,000 for the killers of a Chicago cop. McNeal finds Tillie Wiecek scrubbing floors on the night shift in a downtown high-rise. Her son, Frank, is serving a 99-year sentence for the murder—but he's innocent, she claims. The story of the hard-working, ever-faithful mother strikes a sympathetic chord with the public. But the hard-nosed McNeal remains unpersuaded.
McNeal stays with the story, visiting Wiecek (Richard Conte) in the state pen, witnessing his lie detector test, and eventually coming to doubt his conviction. McNeal's skeptical attitude serves him well when the authorities try to obstruct his investigation into the crime. Finally, during a sequence involving photo enlargement and wirephoto transmission—the cutting-edge technology of the day, apparently—he proves that the key witness against Wiecek had lied.
The story of the wrongfully convicted has been told in countless movies, among them The Shawshank Redemption and last year's Conviction. Call Northside 777 is a good early example. Based on a true story, the film was shot on location in Illinois, mostly in a realistic, matter-of-fact style. Though there's never any doubt about where the story is headed, or where the film's sympathies lie, it still provides a moving and compassionate look at the lives of those who receive injustice from the criminal justice system.
Whatever might happen, it's always good to have Jimmy Stewart on your side.

Up until the '90s Israel was still seeking its universal voice in cinema 7 and endorses many products. Before his death, Shahid Sales had made major inroads into German New cinema 7, by making some of his best films in his host country. The state of Israel and the Israeli citizens are constantly threatened by terror groups and terror supporting states that use every possible method in order to move forward as a region.

Hey! I know this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established website like yours require
a massive amount work? I'm brand new to blogging
but I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations
or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

A colleague of mine came into my office and asked if I would design a flyer for an upcoming event titled, "Gifts of Ministry." As she was describing the event of new and nearly new youth ministers and catechetical leaders, my mind wandered to some packages I had seen a couple days earlier on Pinterest.
I knew she would love the concept. I immediately pulled it up and showed it to her. Our excitement grew...
Rather than using rubber stamps for the words, I told her how I had just ordered a vintage typewriter and it would be arriving any day. (It is a darling teal blue color with matching case, white keys and handle. More photos of my new toy coming, I promise. I am so in love!)
I thought we would change the words in the example from, "Made in Santa's Workshop" to "Made in God's Workshop."
I think I might be using the image above to make name tags for each participant. How cute will that be? I suggested that we use just first names in a matching green color.
My creative brain started whirling and I thought of more things to type on packages, like "look within."
That is after all where we find our gifts. Although Google is my go to spot for looking up little facts and researching, it certainly can't tell you what your gifts are.
My favorite of all is the "Made with Love." When you think of it, isn't it true? Each one of us is made with love. You are loved and loveable.
To pull off these darling wrapped boxes, I pulled out some paper lunch sacks, sewing pattern tissue paper, and assorted leftover raffia and ribbon that my husband had used for a project (he is so cool and creative). It was like discovering little bits of treasure. My goal was to not spend anything on this project and to see if I could work with what I had on hand.
Mission accomplished. My colleague loved the final result. We plan on playing with the theme some more as we develop fun things for the workshop.
I love Pinterest. I think it is so cool that I can surf that site and get ideas that I can apply to my work and creative life.
Right about now I want to give some gifts, just so I can wrap them and make someone's day. Don't you?

Editor's Note: This is the final part of a two-part story on that most important topic, the party. You can read Part 1 here.
Even more important than the theme of the party is the central moment of the party: Someone clinks a glass and makes an announcement that unifies the guests as a group. Ninety-nine percent of parties do not include this crucial feature, which is why most are unsatisfying. A group event of some sort underscores the reason for the party and gives people something to remember about it besides a few isolated conversations.
Toasts are invaluable for this purpose. When making a toast, don't worry about being eloquent. Something as simple as "To St. Joseph the Worker!" is enough. If silence follows, there's always someone in every group who will break that silence with a comment. The next thing you know, you have a community of people all listening to one person and laughing together.
Fifty isolated conversations are the death of a party. It's tiring to spend all your time wondering whether you are keeping someone from someone else, or being irritated that someone is keeping you from someone else. An entire evening of this is miserable. Group conversations break the monotony of having to navigate the social maze.
Readings are fabulous for creating a group. Poetry may seem pretentious, but it really does work. Silly verse is great, and a one-act play is unforgettable. Don't worry about rehearsing it ahead of time. Just pass it out on the spot and have at it. Singing is also great (pass out the music). With the Web, a good collection of books, and a few minutes of preparation, you can manufacture group moments that last for hours.
Lose the Chips and Dips
Whatever happened to dinner parties? They are becoming ever more rare. Today, food at parties mostly consists of snacky things you can pick up with your fingers, the better to stay on the move with. But the whole premise of moving around a party is wrong. It's important that people be able to sit, so they can listen and share a group moment.
Try having a dinner party and see what happens. You don't have to have a huge dining table. Even if everyone is sitting on folding chairs eating chili, it is far better than yet another round of chips, dips, and existential isolation.
And by the way, today's emphasis on the quality of food at parties is wildly misplaced. You can hire the best catering service in town or knock yourself out cooking for days, but if you have no theme, no central moment, and no place for your guests to sit, the best snacks on the planet are not going to save your party.
Pick Your Poison
It happens all the time. You walk into your friends' house for a party. They ask you what you want to drink and then run through a list of options: orange juice, diet and regular Coke and Sprite, Miller Lite, Bud Lite, sparkling water, V8, cran-apple juice, Fresca, coffee, ten more unappealing liquids, and, finally, water. You suddenly get this vague sense that maybe the V8 has been around awhile, or the Sprite may be flat, or the coffee not made, or the Fresca — do they even make that anymore? In the end, someone finally says, "Oh, I'll just have a glass of water." Someone else concurs. Folks, when that happens, the party is over before it begins.
The way to avoid this catastrophe is to have one official drink of the evening. "Tonight," you announce, "I am serving champagne cocktails!" Who wouldn't cheer? Serve them with a cherry or an orange slice, and you have created a memorable drink. Alternatively, you could serve martinis, or mint juleps, or some slushy, fruity concoction from the freezer. Whatever it is, stick to it. If someone doesn't drink, he'll say so. You should always have some fancy water available for nondrinkers, and throw in a slice of lemon or lime for good measure.
And, guys, drinks are our department. This is something we should specialize in, just as gals generally specialize in food. Make one good batch of Manhattans, and you will be famous forever, even if they are not that great. It's just a matter of human psychology: People like a guy who can mix a solid drink. Your guests have come to your party to partake in pleasures peculiar to your home. Give them a drink that they can identify with you.
As for wine, it is best to have half a dozen bottles of all the same kind, unless the purpose of your party is wine-tasting. Why? Let's say you have 15 guests, and you open an excellent bottle. Four people herald the glories of this particular wine, and then suddenly you are out and have to open another bottle of a completely different variety. A grand opportunity for a unifying moment has been lost. The best approach is to buy a case of the best wine you can afford and make it a general rule that the entire case must be finished by the end of the evening. The communal aspect of drinking the same wine together is essential, and people will be astonished at your liberality.
What to Wear?
What people should wear to a party is a tricky subject. This much is an incontrovertible fact: The best parties feature people dressing up, or at least not wearing torn cutoffs and worn sneakers. But if you tell your guests to come casual, cutoffs and sneakers is what you will get. Such is the nature of the times. Just look at what people wear to Mass these days! You can hardly expect them to show up at your party dressed any better.
People act nicer and smarter, however, when they wear nice clothes. They sit straighter and generally feel as though something special is taking place. Grubby clothes and truly memorable times just don't mix, unless you are at the lake or repairing a house or in some other situation that specifically calls for casual attire.
Dress codes can seem like an imposition to some these days. I handle it by telling guests, "Feel free to dress up" or, "I'll be in a coat and tie." It's a way of leaving their options open while delivering a strong hint. Finally, don't rule out telling your guests that the dress is black tie. If it's New Year's Eve, this can make the evening even more joyful.
Setting the Mood
Can we have a break from rock music, please? Classical music is perfectly festive. Try Schubert's "Trout Quintet, Mozart's string quintets, Bach's orchestral works, or even light operas. Chamber music works better at parties than symphonies. Pre-World War II jazz has an endless capacity to charm. Old and new movie soundtracks are always fun. How about bluegrass? The idea is to play something that is not too intrusive but isn't boringly familiar either.
Catholic liturgical music is great, but it should be reserved for Mass and Vespers, not parties. Always remember Pope St. Clement's dictum from the first century: no pagan music at liturgy and no liturgical music at minstrel shows or other non-sacred occasions. That doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to and enjoy Machaut and Byrd at home, but parties aren't the right times to push this repertoire.
My final musical note: If someone in the group can play the piano and there's one in your home, it should be compulsory that he play.
It's Party Time
More important than the specifics of a party is the spirit. The spirit of a good party is a variant of the spirit of good liturgy: a work of a community of people that follows a plan. "Every religion has its feasts," the Catholic Encyclopedia says, "but none has such a rich and judiciously constructed system of festive seasons as the Catholic Church."
It's time we lived up to our religious tradition by putting some effort and thought into our parties. Given the generally dull tenor of the times, you will suddenly become a famous and much-heralded host or hostess by making a little effort at being countercultural. And you will also help demonstrate to others, in the tradition of Cana, that we Catholics are not always dour and penitent, but also, at the right time, fun and hospitable people who display our hope that someday we will join the heavenly banquet, the most wonderful party of all. It's part of our heritage and our faith.

Hey everyone!
So here's a summary in pictures of what my summer has been like. Lots of good food, great locations and just a hell of a good summer! Now I'm back in London again, preparing for the start of year two at university and just settling in again after a month in Sweden.
Oh and today my SD-card decided to stop working just when we went out to take pictures.. so freaking annoying and a new card is not something I want to spend money on at the moment. Just my regular luck....
En sammanfattning i bildformat av min sommar. Mycket god mat, platser och roliga stunder! Nu är jag tillbaka i London och förberedelserna för starten på andra året är i full gång!

PVCPipes – Ideal Candidates for the Circular Economy
'PVC Pipes are ideal candidates for the circular economy'. So said Steve Tan, Executive Director of PVC4Pipes, speaking at the TEPPFA Forum 2014 held in Brussels on April 29th which was organised as the first official satellite event of 'Green Week 2014'. Steve was sharing the platform with luminaries including Karl Falkenberg, Director General of the DG Environment, Brigitte Dero, General Manager of VinylPlus as well as NGO representatives including Piotr Barczak of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), who debated the topics relating to the circular economy during the first workshop of the event.
Steve pointed out that it is possible to recycle rigid PVC eight times or more without any loss of properties, so that, since PVC pipes have a service life of at least 50 years, the material used to make them could, in effect, last for 400 years, thus emphasising the sustainability credentials of PVC pipes.
In addition PVC foam core pipes, which are made in such a way that a layer of rigid foamed PVC is sandwiched between two 'skins' of solid PVC (see photo), are the perfect place to put recycled rigid PVC, which can come from PVC pipes, window profiles, bottles and other post-consumer sources. Provided that the recyclate is ground down to a size of less than 800 microns, the properties of the foam core pipes are unaffected by the presence in the foamed layer of impurities such as glass, aluminium and rubber, which may be present if the recyclate has come, for instance, from recycled PVC windows.
PVC foam core pipe.
During the discussions it became clear that, while a ban on plastics landfill is necessary, more has to be done to permit the wider re-use of material recycling especially in terms of REACH and other regulatory compliance. This was emphasised by Steve Tan in his presentation in which he pointed out that the large market for PVC foam core pipes in Europe could, in principle, accommodate all of the 240+ thousand tonnes of rigid PVC which were recycled in 2012 under the auspices of VinylPlus. However, threats to this encouraging progress are coming from the inclusion in Annex XV (the Candidate List) of ADCA*, the agent used to make the foam layer in foam core pipes and the way in which so-called legacy additives will be treated under REACH, the EU Waste Directive and CLP Regulations.
PVC4Pipes has issued a Position Paper on ADCA which goes in to more detail about the subject and proposes a more appropriate method to control any risks associated with the use of ADCA. To see the Position Paper, click here.

You descent the damp stone staircase entering a deep chamber full of dust and cobweb. Your torch reveals a 30ft tall vaulted ceiling, and rows and rows of shelves on the walls. There is a rustling of stones and there, suddenly emerging from the shadows is a shambling skeleton. He has a thick pair of horned rimmed glasses hanging from his face. His feet are clad in socks tucked neatly into open toe sandals. His long dead fingers are stained with cheesy yellow powder, and the shirt on his chest says "That's How I Roll." What do you do?
