MADISON (WKOW) -- The legalization of raw milk sales is back up for debate at the State Capitol.
The public got to speak out on a bipartisan bill Thursday which is very similar to the one that passed the legislature in 2010, only to be vetoed by then Governor Jim Doyle.
Proponents of raw milk say it is safe and healthy, but the dairy industry and medical groups that comprise the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition say the science proves otherwise.
It was easy to tell who supported raw milk sales at the hearing, as they all wore white hats with the words "milk freedom" written on them. "I think this is first and foremost a subject about freedom," said Vincent Hunt, a dairy farmer who said he has drunk raw milk his entire life. "Legalization of the sale of unpasteurized milk would bring Wisconsin up to speed with 30 to 33 states, depending on how you define the legislation in each state, and most of the world."
Rep. Chris Danou (D-Trempealeau) is one of the bill's Assembly sponsors who testified that the scope of the sales would be limited. "We're not talking about retail sales here," said Rep. Danou. "We're talking about direct farm to consumer sales, where if you want raw milk you gotta go direct to the farm and buy it. Its something you're actively seeking out as a consumer."But the Chief Medical Officer at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin says even small scale sales like that are dangerous. "While I respect and appreciate free choice, when that free choice may unnecessarily affect the health of children, it's important for that consideration to be raised and for us to take pause," said Dr. Michael Gutzeit, M.D. "And, whether it be the cheese makers or whether it be the medical society or others, we do not see room to compromise because the product is unsafe," said Shawn Pfaff, Spokesperson for the WI Safe Milk Coalition.
Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) authored the bill and believes raw milk is safe. But he says even if some believe it isn't, there are already a lot of legal products people can consume whose safety is debatable. "If I want to go to one of these sushi places in Madison here there's always a little sign on the bottom that says you shouldn't eat raw fish," said Sen. Grothman. "But I have sushi all the time around here and I'm glad Wisconsin's fishing industry doesn't object."

this is really an assholish thing to make #wow #faberry #brittana #glee
i have a little bit of brittana feels #it's odd #but this hurt #because brittany does not want #sigh #brittana #glee
just look at their stupid faces #heather rocked this scene just with her dumb face #brittana #glee
Brittany really needs to stop fucking with Santana's phone.
"Wait, so this is the 4S, right?" Brittany asks when Santana returns from the AT&T store. "So it has that talking lady on it?"
"Siri, yeah."
"Why would they name her after Tom Cruise's daughter? That's kind of weird."
i don't even like brittana that much #but this is just too sweet #brittana #fic rec
omg #i love this #because of the uswnt jersey and AAHH #brittana #fanart
what a kiss #eh #brittana
upper hand (the a team)
[a history of quinntana. because i had unresolved quinntana feels after the last ep. it's faberry/brittana for sure, although some of the early lines are blurred. title from ed sheeran (like, who hasn't listened to him?). listen to "my oldest friend" by andrew belle to increase the feels.]
upper hand (the a team)
people are screwed up in this world. i'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.
—ned vizzini, it's kind of a funny story
one. there are two tragedies in life. one is to lose your heart's desire. the other is to gain it
The first time you meet Quinn is at cheer camp, before Freshman year. You notice her right away, because she's striking—literally, the most beautiful girl you've ever seen—but she's also talented. Right away, Coach puts her into a group with returning Varsity seniors, and then she puts Brittany into that group, and then she puts you in it too.
Within the first two days, Quinn doesn't say a word. She nods when given directions, but at water breaks or after camp ends, she just sits by her stuff silently, playing with a fraying little pink ribbon tied on the end of one of the zippers on her duffel bag, tucking a loose strand of blond hair behind her ear with gentle, thin fingers.
On Wednesday, Coach calls the group of girls obviously on her radar for Varsity to sit down in a circle after camp has supposedly ended. Quinn sits by Brittany, primly, criss-cross-apple-sauce, her back impossibly straight, and only looks up when Coach starts barking out orders.
"We're going to get to know each other. Tomorrow we're starting stunts, so state your name, your age, your favourite fictional character, and your favourite movie. I don't care about these things but you all seem too, and the only thing worse than your sniveling faces right now is your sniveling faces after one of you drops someone else. Play nice," she finally instructs, then marches off somewhere else.
Margaret, a senior and the obvious shoe-in for captain, goes first, then the rest of the girls in the circle go in order. They like A Walk to Remember and Mean Girls, and most of their favourite characters are from Twilight.
When it's your turn, you say, "I'm Santana Lopez. I'm fourteen years old. My favourite character is Daisy Buchanan, and I like The Breakfast Club."
Quinn smiles at your choices. It's the first time you see her make such an expression. It's breathtaking.
Brittany goes next, and she giggles and says some nonsensical things, but she's Brittany, so it's charming.
Then Quinn clears her throat. Her eyes get a shade darker and she raises her chin slightly, and the change is incredible. "My name is Quinn Fabray," she says, and her voice is commanding. "I'm fourteen. My favourite character is Janie Crawford from Their Eyes Were Watching God, and my favourite film Hitchcock's Rear Window."
Everyone in the circle looks captivated and then entirely disinterested, and Quinn goes back to staring at the floor.
They finishes and then Margaret dismisses you, and you stand, grab Brittany's hand, and move to leave, but Quinn's breathless, "Santana, wait!" and then her warm fingers against your arm cause you to stop breathing for a second.
You turn around and glare at her, and the shy smile on her face disappears in a second.
"You—you've read The Great Gatsby?" she asks.
You roll your eyes. "I saw the film. Mia Farrow was excellent." Your tone is biting, and Quinn mumbles an oh, but you realize minutes later in Mrs. Pierce's car that that probably wasn't really a deterring response for Quinn, because you said 'film' and knew Mia Farrow's filmography.
And then you silently acknowledge that Quinn really does look like Grace Kelly and that that makes your heart race and your breath catch, and you almost hate her for it.
What you hate her for more is the fact that you desperately want to be her friend, mostly because you just hate desperately wanting anything.
this was just PERFECT #GOD #GOidjlksajdsa #uhm #fic rec #quinntana #brittana #faberry

Are we moving towards a global language? if so, are there any up to the task?
..as our debate grew steadily, my brother and I considered for a moment that we may have to agree to disagree on this one. He was adamant. " it's already been chosen!!" he says, "English!". The first and most obvious answer. Of course english! America being the powerhouse, global superpower that it is,..knowing the language becomes a tool to forge your destiny in the world!…tall order.. technically most people on the planet speak mandarin, so i'd say they pretty much have a head start. But my focus went deeper, and this is usually where My brother looses it. Does it necessarily even have to be a spoken language that originated from a specific peoples? I asked. What is language in the first place? WHy did we first need to create these sounds with our mouths? Major eye rollage…I continue..at the very least to transmit information easily and efficiently? Spirituality,science, technology,..all leading us towards unity. he definitely agrees here and says, "english" in a way that I know he is no longer interested in debating. like when your winning in monopoly. So I've been wondering about it for a couple of days now and decided to ask the community what your take on this is?

Dec 11 2013: Verbal language is extremely limited. Body language, sign language, music and acts of kindness are a lot more universal and understandable. Look at a UN meeting where whatever the speaker is saying is being translated into many languages and you see a puzzling look on there faces as the translation does not always make sense but when they stand and applause everyone in the room understands immediately. Go to a sports game and even if your back is turned or you are downstairs getting food or even a block away when somebody scores everyone no matter what language they speak understands immediately. When Nelson Mandela or any great person dies the shock waves are felt around the world and everyone feels the sadness no matter what language they speak and the same apply's to any great disaster. We are all connected like the water in the Oceans and a tiny ripple anywhere is felt everywhere.
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." - Mother Teresa
If you want to change the world, smile, say thank you, pat someone on the back, pet an animal, plant a tree, give freely of all you get, pass it on, help some else for no reason, pay it forward... in other words be kind, kindness is a language everyone understands.
Dec 11 2013: I do agree that our emotions have a language of their own, but is it possible to communicate the score as effectively as the reaction to it. Or when an icon dies and the loss reverberates across humanity, can we communicate his or hers exploits and endeavors as efficiently as the feeling of loss. Without a doubt our emotions and the way we express them are very clear, I wonder if this can be so with information.
"..Look at a UN meeting where whatever the speaker is saying is being translated into many languages and you see a puzzling look on there faces as the translation does not always make sense…"
This is exactly my point. I believe that so much more is lost in translation. In fact, most of what makes a good speech is lost. It's true that just by watching a powerful speech in a different language, the emotion comes through and is inspiring, but everything can change if you understand the language. You can find yourself in precarious predicaments if lead purely by emotion. which is why I endeavor to find a universal language for information.
Dec 11 2013: Jonathan while you are thinking about universal languages you may want to look far into the future when we communicate like starlings or schools of fish where millions are somehow on the same wavelength and act as a group simultaneously. I believe it is explained with Quantum Mechanics using the "entanglement" theory.
If I was designing a new language I would shoot in the direction of telepathy instead of characters and symbols, a method as old as the caveman. We are supposed to be evolving not going backwards. It's like the car.. it has not changed in a hundred years because the corporations are milking the oil thing for all it is worth. The same with the energy, instead of being independent they want us all dependent little slaves.

Every Dowd Has a Silver Lining
This is Jim Dowd. He played 70 games for the Oilers, scoring 5 goals. Picked him up in a deal that sent Greg DeVries away and lost him in the expansion draft in 2000 (Minnesota).
Dowd played on a line with Boyd Devereaux and Georges Laraque and that 4line could rattle and hum. He killed penalties and he contributed a little on offense and he could win a faceoff and move up the depth chart and not look foolish.
Jim Dowd was an extremely useful player, and the Oilers could use the new Jim Dowd right now.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a TAMS alumni. TAMS was very difficult, but worth every moment. The all of the teachers were above average compared to my high school and most were well above average. Most of the issues with dorm life were dealt with fairly from my perspective, and I'm sure the ones I believe were not, the other party believes the issue was treated fairly. The staff never gave the impression that they did not care. Students must be mature and self motivated, even with all the support they receive. There were children that were expelled because he or she broke a written policy while I was there. Please remember these are young children in a boarding school environment. Some strict rules are needed to maintain the proper environment. Review the rules carefully and make sure you are willing to help the school enforce the rules.
I love the potential and opportunities that school provides for a strong foundation before they choose their degree in college and then gives them 60+ credit before you start your degree. My daughter went there about 9 years ago and now my son is applying.
TAMS is an incredible academic program for mature, high achieving high schoolers. It is NOT high school; therefore, if you have concerns about your student handing the freedoms and responsibilities of a college campus, this is not the right program. TAMS has been the best thing that has ever happened to my son. Yes, he gave up some of the clubs/sports of high school, but between the extremely challenging academic courses, research in a lab with professors, the TAMS clubs, as well as UNT clubs, my son has very little free time. The TAMS staff is supportive of my son, and has addressed any problems promptly and effectively. feel very lucky that my son has been a part of this program. If I had to say something negative, it would be with college admissions after TAMS. If your student is deadset on going to UT or Texas A & M, do not give up his/her guaranteed admission with top 7%/10% of class. Odds are not in their favor at TAMS because their applications go into general admissions pool. UT accepted less than half of TAMS class of 2013. With that being said, my son has some amazing opportunities at top notch universities, and has received ALOT of scholarship $.
We have been impressed with TAMS. Our son was ready for the college workload. If your child is ready, this school offers a great opportunity.
Staff mistreats students and picks favorites. There were fees originally not mentioned. Your college apps are never sent in. Lies to and fro.
The work ethic of TAMS staff is not recommendable. Do not expect any respect, support or consideration from them. Sometimes they even assume your kids- especially Plano kids are their enemies. Get education there is your kid s privilege, not their right as stated on their policy. If your kids are not as mature as 30 years old, keep them home because they can be messed up for no reason. It is all on you the parents or students to control your own academic and life.
I am also a TAMS Alumni. This program was one of the most challenging and also most rewarding things that have ever happened to me. Great students will succeed no matter what situation you put them in, but this program let you experiment college life in a very controlled environment and allowing you to stretch your wings as a young adult. Growing up is inevitable and responsibility will come one way or another, this program might push you to grow up faster than most teenagers would want, but there is no hard in learning to take control of your future and life. I am very young, extremely well educated, and professional successful, I can honestly say that the backbone to my achievements is due to TAMS and supportive parents.
This can be good alternative to high school for the high achiever. It is challenging and focused academically. The one area we had the most problems with and our biggest complaints were about are the way student life issues are handled. Dorms, roommates and problems associated with these weren't always handled in the best way or even fairly. The student life staff can be unprofessional, unreliable, and often unaware of problems - after all most of these are just university students themselves. These kids have a lot of down time because they give up band, sports, etc. that they might have been involved with at home. These are all things to take into consideration along with the academics. Also, remember you are sending your high schooler to a University campus and they will be around and exposed to that 'adult' atmosphere and need to be ready to handle that.
Wonderful program, it has its problems and could use a bit more student club support, but is definitely worth it. TAMS provides a huge challenge, and is about a thousand times better than your average high school.
I am an alumni, and TAMS was truly the greatest thing that has happened to me. I have to admit that it was extremely difficult, but I learned so much about myself, and I respect this program

How to handle debt when you're ADHD
Hard enough to manage finances, add in attention deficit disorders and you've got some serious challenges. Here are 9 tips to help you manage.
What happens when you can't keep your mind on your money? That's the dilemma of approximately 8 million Americans, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
More than 4% of U.S. adults have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), according to the National Institute of Mental Health. ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder without the hyperactivity, which is often used synonymously with ADHD. Whether you or a loved one is among this group, you need to be attuned to the financial chaos it can cause. Problems include blowing cash on unnecessary or duplicate items, failing to pay bills and running amok with the credit cards.
The ADHD-money mess connection
Symptoms of ADD/ADHD can include extreme difficulty getting and staying organized and an inability to concentrate. They can also include impulsiveness and restlessness. Therefore, constructing and sticking to a budget and determining which bills need to be paid and when can be especially challenging for those with the disorder.
Such was the case for Venice Beach, Calif., resident Connie Yang, who was diagnosed with ADHD as a minor. "I made a lot of financial mistakes and jumping from school to school or career to career," says Yang. "I would spend tons of money taking classes or on certifications, which contributed to my debt. I also have impulse control problems, which is part of my ADHD. I buy things I don't necessarily need."
Cali Estes, an addiction coach and clinical therapist out of Miami, also has firsthand experience with the financial wreckage brought on by ADHD. Not only does she treat people in her practice with it, her husband, a drummer in a rock band, has also been diagnosed with ADHD.
"Before he met me, he always had an overdrawn bank account," says Estes. "He'd never look, he'd always just spend." When they first got together, she tried to have him share in caring for the household expenditures. The electric bill was his one task. "I even gave him the money, envelopes and stamps," says Estes. "He forgot to pay, and I got a shut-off notice. He had gotten distracted and spent the money!"
Credit cards were especially hard for Estes' husband. "Oh, he'd get a lot of cards and charge them up and then forget to pay," says Estes. His solution was to apply for more.
Financial positives of ADHD
"Most of my clients who have ADHD are passionate about something," says Estes. "They all have one thing they really love. I have one client -- he's a manager of a gym. He loves it. Very motivated, and has that drive to be the best. Because of that, it has been financially rewarding."
Her husband, too, can channel his energy into his career and earns big. The paycheck, though, is not the driving force. "He cares about drums, and he's playing all the time, " says Estes. The positive thing about having ADHD is that whatever those who have it choose to do, they typically do it 100%, says Estes.
Since ADD/ADHD can help you delve deep into your passions, it is more than possible to make the disorder work for, rather than against, you, says Estes: "Sir Richard Branson is ADD. If you think of his empire, it goes all over the place. He has no barriers to his mind and where it can go."
In fact, the self-made billionaire Branson is just one of countless people with ADD/ADHD who enjoy extreme financial successes. Famous folks who have confirmed they have ADD/ADHD include Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman, Magic Johnson and Terry Bradshaw.
Talk with your doctor
Want to emulate Branson and others' success stories? Your first step is diagnosis, and the sooner the better. Yang wasn't ADHD identified until she was 25, and believes the delay resulted in serious yet avoidable credit problems. "By the time I figured it out, I was $30,000 in debt and that's not including student loans and car payments.
Talk to your doctor about ADD/ADHD, being sure to ask about its relationship to financial mismanagement. Your doctor may not address or detect the connection, so you may have to.
Claire Vannette, from Carlsbad, Calif., was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Today, as a businesswoman, she understands the financial struggles of people living with it, and how they're often missed by professionals.
"I think psychologists and psychiatrists should bring up money issues proactively when they're working with someone with ADHD -- any mental illness or neuroatypicality, really," says Vannette. "Some doctors just don't think about their patients' financial situations at all. It's silly, since money is such a stressor."
ADD/ADHD treatment often includes medication as well as therapy, but money issues can require additional help. "I do talk to my psychologist, but have not found a real solution to my financial problems," says Yang, who takes Adderall for her ADHD. "I find it helps with my shopping impulses most of the time. But I still splurge occasionally."
Tips for self management
Whether you have ADD/ADHD or live with someone who does, you can reduce the economic dangers associated with the disorder. Tips include:
1. Get a coach. Specialized ADD/ADHD coaches can help you stay on track with your goals through daily check-up calls. Check out who's available at Children and Adults with Attention/Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD).
2. Go to a support group. CHADD also lists support groups, so find one in your area. Some offer advice on how to handle the financial problems brought on by ADD/ADHD.
3. Open separate bank accounts. Estes suggests having one account for bills and another just for pleasure. It works for her and her husband. "We transfer money from one account to another," says Estes, who takes charge of the account for household bills, while he uses the other.
4. Assign a money manager. A person you trust to concentrate on bills and resist temptation should be the one with total control over cash and credit.
5. Opt for a prepaid card. An open line of credit can be unintentionally run up, so go for a prepaid card instead. With it you can only spend the cash on the card, thus averting debt.
6. Carry cash. Try withdrawing the amount you need for the week to establish a cash-only habit. Incorporate charging only when you feel comfortable living and spending within that sum.
7. Have the right amount and type of credit. Multiple cards can be too overwhelming to manage properly, so simplify by having just one account. Which kind? Make it a charge card. Charge cards require that you pay the balance in full every month. Without the revolving balance option, you can keep debt in check.
8. Use bill-pay, cautiously. Many people with ADD/ADHD forget to pay their bills on time. That can lead to late fees or even collection activity. To avoid both, consider setting up automatic bill pay with your bank, so the bills get paid on time. Be careful, though. It's best when cash is plentiful. "Automatic bill pay can be a powerful tool for forgetful people, but it can also be dangerous if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck," says Vannette. "Without a cushion in your bank account, it's easy for an automatic payment to push you into the red."
Smart Spending on the go: Get our app for Android or iPhone
9. Make the most of your smartphone. As an ADHD coach, Estes teaches people to use technology to their financial advantage. "I set up their iPhone so a message pops up every 30 minutes to annoy them -- pay your bill!" says Estes. "They learn to manage whatever bills they have because it's right there in their face. If not, it's out of sight, out of mind." If you have a smartphone, set up your own bill-paying alarm system.
Finally, recognize when ADD/ADHD and plastic don't mix. If you have the disorder and a propensity for charging outside your means, Yang suggests an no-nonsense strategy: "Leave the credit cards at home."

0:00 After my piece on the Pinball World Championships, I've joined a local league to rekindle my love for the game. A lot of people there have been talking excitedly about this one, so I was happy to get a review copy.
0:01 A cheesy, early-'90s-era 3-D model of a pinball parlor. The camera zooms through the big glass doors and pans languorously around the sparsely attended grounds. Some lovingly detailed close-up shots of the tables are paired with incredibly awful electric-guitar twanging. Hey, there's Dark Knight! I just played Dark Knight 2000 in the league! And there's Pinbot! I had the NES version of that one. Beautiful HD art.
0:02 After the intro movie, we're back to the outside of the parlor, complete with flashing neon sign. Ambient horns from the street fade away as I enter.
0:03 Four of the music tracks in the options menu are set to "off" by default. Kind of odd ... is that music so bad they don't really want it in the game?
0:05 Navigating the arcade with the analog stick. Each time I got to a machine, an overwrought announcer announces the name in a booming voice: "Medieval Madness! Gorgar!" etc. I pass by some faux classic arcade cabinets like "Comet" and "Egg Invader." and fake pinball machines like "Inferno" and "Space Colony" (at least, I think they're fake). For what amounts to a simple menu, there's a lot of attention to detail -- fake wood paneling, purple carpet, a neo restrooms sign ... I'm mildly impressed.
0:07 I start with old fave Pinbot. The "table goals" involve scoring 100,000 points on the plunger skill shot, advancing the bonus multiplier to its maximum, etc. An "Instructions" options leads me through the game's major scoring options and goals with a nice, simple spoken voice. There's also an HD version of the promotional flier ... they really put some care into this! Nice to see. For now, I'm skipping all that stuff and I'm just gonna hit stuff.
0:11 And my first ball is done. The game is a lot like the NES game I remember, only now it's all in lovingly rendered 3-D, with a gently swooping dynamic camera. The sounds and lights all seem relatively true to life, but the physics seem just slightly off. The ball moves a little too smoothly and too fast; the flippers are a little too loose. It's not awful, just not "real," y'know?
0:12 I open Pinbot's massive visor on ball 2, and lock a ball in one of his eye sockets, but my replacement launch goes straight down the outlane after bouncing on the slingshots. Wow, I sound like I know what I'm talking about, don't I?
0:14 Ball 3 goes down the outlane after a bad ramp shot. 583,980 is my final score. I can do better than that.
0:15 The second game starts with a ball going straight down the left outlane before I even get a chance to hit it with a flipper. Again.
0:16 Oh my god, that's the third time I've lost a ball to an outlane without even flipping a flipper. Screw. This. Table.
0:17 Finally, a ball that I can play. I get a few saves by gently nudging the table with the left analog stick, a movement that seems a little too forgiving to me. Oh well. Time for a new table.
0:18 I head upstairs in the pinball parlor to play a Black Knight table in the corner. I have 25 credits. I can use one to play a single game, or buy "free play" for 100 credits. So if I run out of credits, is it game over? Does the disc become unusable? Do I have to put quarters in the disc drive?
0:19 The game says something as I put in my credit, but it's so garbled and tinny I can't understand it. "I am starving to free"?
0:20 I'm having real trouble dealing with this fast, split table. My first ball drops quickly past the first set of flippers to the bottom section. I hit a ramp to get it back up to the top, but it falls down again and drains almost immediately.
0:21 I focus this time and learn how to manage the weird angles on the top flippers. I even manage to activate a multiball after locking three separate balls in a U-turn, but I have trouble keeping track of them all between two levels and they drain in quick succession. Hey, I'm still learning.
0:22 On my third ball I lock one for multiball, hit a few drop targets, then the ball drops down the top and straight through the drain at the bottom. Sigh. "Will you challenge me to a game?" says the knight as I lose (I think). "I can beat you by three." (Maybe?)
0:25 Now that's more like it. On my second game, I immediately get multiball and keep it for a while. My 351,590 points on ball 1 beats my total score from last game. *flex*
0:29 Ball 2 straight down after a bad drop target bounce. But ball 3 is a massive winner. I have to struggle to keep it alive a few times, but I'm getting much better with timing my shots to hit the ramp back up to the top section. My multiball helps me get up to 918,660 points total.
0:32 I skim through the instructions and learn all the different ways to get multiballs, outlane-guarding magna saves, extra balls, mystery scores and bonus multipliers. Apparently during multiballs my score is multiplied by the number of balls in play. No wonder my score went up so fast last game.
0:33 I'm up to 28 credits somehow. Did I earn that many replays with my score last game?
0:35 My best ball yet gets me 783,900 points. I've figured out a relatively easy way to manage the ball up top and set up multiball easily. I miss some easy ramp shots at the bottom, though, and end the ball earlier than I had to.
0:39 The second ball bonus pushes me past the 1,000,000-point goal, and a quick multiball on ball 3 leads to an extra ball that quickly drains away. My 2,000,000+-point score is enough for No. 4 on the high score table, just 13,000 points behind "JLT." I enter my initials of "ACE" and earn an extra credit with a match! Yay!
0:41 Back downstairs ... let's try the old-school-looking Space Shuttle.
0:45 An absolutely epic first ball. I seem preternaturally good at hitting a specific ramp that leads back to the pops. It also opens an airlock blocker for a timed shot at a space shuttle ramp, which I miss the first time but hit the second time. I managed to get 391,740, and somehow got an extra ball.
0:46 My second ball is saved from mediocrity by a huge bonus multiplier. On ball 3, I lock two balls practically accidentally, then spend the rest of the ball trying and failing to activate multiball. I get lucky with the pops, though, and a 7x multiplier carries me to 1,125,630.
0:53 Manage to activate TWO multiballs on my extra fourth ball. They're both very short, despite the big, red heat shield that blocks the drain. I get past the game's goal score of 1.2 million and up to 2.2 million! Plus I scored another extra ball somehow! I'm liking this table a lot, and it's only partially because I'm pretty good at it, it seems.
0:55 Skimming through the table instructions teaches me that lighting up the letters of S-H-U-T-T-L-E on the table is important. Who knew?!
1:00 A few multiballs, a few large multipliers, and one set of SHUTTLE letters lit, but my second game of Space Shuttle is slightly less impressive than the first. Suddenly I hate this table.
Would I play this game for more than an hour? Yes
Why? It doesn't compare to the physicality of the real thing, but it seems like a good way to learn a lot of tables for a pretty cheap price. Plus it'll make me look like less of an ignorant jackass at league meetings.

Paul Krugman weighs in on the structural unemployment debate here , here, here, and most recently and comprehensively here. Here are two excerpts from two recent blog posts:
Claims that there has been a huge jump in structural unemployment — that is, unemployment that can't be cured by increasing aggregate demand — are playing a large role in the argument that we should basically do nothing in the face of a terrible economy. No need for the Fed to do more; no need for more fiscal stimulus — hey, it's all about defective labor markets, and we should work on structural reform, one of these days. And don't expect improvement for years to come. Structural unemployment is invoked by Fed presidents who want to raise rates, not cut them, by economists who want austerity now now now, and in general by almost everyone in the pain caucus.
Legend aside, this is not mainly about displaced construction workers — and there are no other dying industries to point to. Lousy labor markets span the country, except in a handful of states with almost no people. It's a terrible job situation for college graduates as well as high-school graduates.The idea that this economy is primarily suffering from mismatch is simply bizarre.
First let me say that I agree with Krugman in the essentials, but I find myself wondering if we can be confident that there really is not a larger structural problem embedded within the obvious acute problems of high unemployment and depressed aggregate demand? For example, suppose that there have been massive and pervasive distortions of human capital and labor and other markets resulting from massive distortions in or induced by financial markets. Suppose those distortions lasted at least 10 years and maybe a long as 30 years. Then many sectors of the economy and the workers in them have been shaped by the distortions in ways that may be difficult to discern.
The fact that the financial sector's share of GDP has grown so dramatically over the last 30 years suggests that other sectors have lost out in terms of the growth and productivity they might otherwise have delivered to the benefit of us all. A massive drain such as this must have affected both physical and human capital in those sectors as well as affecting the larger economy we would otherwise expect to see. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what is the conterfactual economy we would have observed without the bubble(s). (Note that if George Soros is correct and the last 30 years have been superbubble, then I think the effect I'm trying to describe is even more entrenched and difficult to detect.)
If my conjecture is right, might an economy, shaped by persistent and pervasive distortions in combination with a massive downturn and tightened credit, be characterized by no new and thriving sectors requiring new workers with new skills (because much of the capital that would have fueled them has been siphoned into contingent markets and housing) even as the existing sectors and workers languish? Could there be a larger structural problem, but we can't see it because the economy has been so distorted?
My point here is that Krugman is right (as usual) that there is no evidence consistent with structural unemployment, but are we missing something bigger? A perspective perhaps that would argue that we have something worse than short-term structural unemployment such as we might see in an economy characterized over the long-term by well-functioning markets and by rapid progress and growth, at least in some sectors other than finance. What if the misalignment is so long-standing and has been so destructive to real innovation and productivity that real growth and innovation have been effectively squelched in many sectors? Perhaps not everywhere and always, but enough that now when we look for signs of structural unemployment as Krugman has done, we find no indication of it because sectors where there might have been innovation and growth that would now be demanding workers with different skills, were not able to compete effectively for capital? As I write this, I think this can't really be possible. Even crippled markets would allocate some capital correctly, yes?
The beauty of capitalism and commercial exchange when they work is that they coordinate, communicate and equilibrate the demand for and supply of capital, human, financial, and physical, to those places where productivity is highest and output most valued. The false signals of bubbles do the exact opposite. Instead of producing growth in new technology, in new and better products, and in new jobs, our recent bubble most likely produced underinvestment in human and other forms of capital not directly beneficial to Wall Street along with immense amounts of unsecured risk, granite countertops and en suite baths.
I find myself asking, what would our and the world economy look like if Wall Street had been doing it's job? If I'm right, they would be dramatically different. In that case, as Krugman points out there is no mismatch between the jobs of that distorted economy and the skills of the workers who have been working in the economy that we have. If I'm right, the mismatch is between the workers of the economy we have and the workers of the economy we want and need to have to set us back on the counterfactual trajectory of more diverse growth and productivity; the counterfactual economy we would have had if Wall Street had been doing it's job. If I'm right then we have a major structural problem and I don't think anyone will be able to argue credibly that government should be shrunk and drowned in a bathtub. If it took years of misplaced private sector "enthusiasm" to create the misalignments, it will almost certainly require government to take a larger role in righting them. Thank you, Wall Street.
Let me make my case.
Earlier this year I observed that the price of casino-like finance is higher than we think. Specifically, not only did it siphon off trillions of dollars that created a surplus of homes and commercial real estate, not only did it siphon equity out of existing homes and transform it into bigger, more expensive cars and pickup trucks, and RVs, along with extra baths and state of the art kitchens that may or may not recoup value for homeowners, it also siphoned talent into the financial sector (and into the construction sector).
Now I'm going to ask you to imagine the counterfactual of the world in which the housing bubble occurred. Imagine that over the last 20 or so years our future mathematicians, social and physical scientists, and social workers had left undergraduate or graduate school in a world in which the financial sector had not become so large, so distorted by short-term private incentives, and therefore so personally lucrative. Moreover, imagine a world in which capital had not been siphoned to housing and real estate, but instead had been allocated (as we in the economics profession like to believe it will be) to those areas of the economy where potential returns to capital are highest, where technology is advancing (and presumably yielding benefit to us all). In the counterfactual world, the efficient allocation of capital would have blazed the efficient, productive trail into the steadily improving future we have for the most part observed since Adam Smith and others first noticed that the division of labor and the willingness of the owners of capital to seek its highest return appeared to take us all to something that was better than feudalism.
Now ask yourself: In that counterfactual world, where the financial sector was doing what it is supposed to do, what would the economy have looked like? Where would have been the jobs? How would individuals have adjusted their investment in human capital in order to increase their competitiveness for the counterfactual jobs? How would investors have invested? What would manufacturers have produced?
I believe that the answers to these questions tell us something about the nature of unemployment we are facing now and the policy options that are likely to drive us out of the (shallow thanks to the stimulus) unregulated-finance-sector-induced crater we find ourselves in.
The financial sector has muddied the waters for many years, not just the last quarter or two, signaling reductions in risk and returns to financial, physical and human capital that were highly distorted in many cases and that have consequently created large discontinuities in the demand for and supply of all types of capital and, consequently, in supply and demand in goods and services markets. The net effect in labor markets is that we now have a good match between skills and the jobs in the economy we used to have, but we may not have a good match between skills and jobs in the economy we could have had or the economy we would like to have. This is a structural problem, but not one that is likely to fix itself without some major restructuring in which the government and government policy must take active roles. Thank you, Wall Street.
If I'm right that we have a long-term structural problem, it will require remedies and restructuring that benefit more than the top 1% of wage earners. For this reason, shrinking government, while simultaneously refusing to stimulate aggregate demand, will almost certainly make the recession longer and deeper. On the other hand, stimulating aggregate demand in ways that preserve the old economy rather than reshaping it to produce the human and physical capital and public infrastructure that the counterfactual economy would have given us will only leave us mired in a dysfunctional economy.
Either way, when the private sector has been the problem, it's hard to imagine an effective solution that doesn't involve a safety net that includes health insurance combined with government action aimed at strategically boosting aggregate demand by targeting those most at risk and most likely to spend while also adopting public policies aimed at remedying the gross distortions in capital markets, human, physical, and financial, over the last 30 years.
Krugman's response, a clarification with which I am in full agreement, here.

Fixing cruise control? - Posted: 11-26-2012, 06:40 PM

Is it worth trying to fix cruise control on these vans?
I finally thought to test cruise control on my van today on the way to the shop to get more work done on it.. and it didn't work. By that I mean, I switched it on and pressed the set button, then let off the gas pedal.. and it didn't maintain speed.
I was sure hoping it would work...

The problem is finding the parts. They don't appear to be available at alll new/rebuild.
A little off topic but.. I got a new virgin mobie android with a 4.3" screen and I installed a free speedometer app. I hate how hard it is to the speedometer on my van, day or not. It's almost impossible to see what speed i'm going without taking my eyes off the road for a while to try to focus in on the stock speedometer and figure out what it's pointing to. So the Android app will help a lot. it can be used standalone or it puts a floating number for mph over google maps so you can be in navigation while seeing your MPH at the same.

I had the same problem with my 1997 B1500 a few years ago. It turned out that it was a Vacuum leak to the Cruise Control unit which is located in the front of the engine near the right fender. Or on your van it MIGHT be located under your battery tray.

I found a weird big component a couple weeks ago that was waup up under the van mounted to the right side of the transmission and had a somewhat rotten hose going to it, of fairly big diameter.
It also had linkage going to the transmission it looked like.. and of course some wires going to whatever the component is. I replaced the long vacuum hose it had going to it, thinking it may have been some component to the cruise control. It had a somewhat flexible plastic shroud around 3/4 of it to help keep water from splashing up on it I guess.
I don't have my factory service manual in front of me (it's 18 miles away in the van at the shop) but looking at the Hanyes manual, it says that earlier models only consist of:
- a vacuum servo motor
- brake switch
- control switches
- a relay
- associate vacuum hoses
...but then the wiring digram for 71-76 (saying 77-78 is similar) for auto speed control shows a speed control switch as well.
I guess in 78 they were putting the servo under the van next to the transmission. There's nothing else it could be that I can think of.
I can't seem to remember if anything is under the battery tray or not. It's a bit rusted out from battery acid over the years and at one time i was trying to see how it could be removed.. but it doesn't even look possible without cutting it out. It's still good enough to hold up a battery so I decided to leave it.
When I get it back, I'll pull the doghouse cover again (uugh what a pain) and look around and see if i can find the servo that is shown in an illustration in the Haynes manual.

I remember reading a past post some years ago concerning the location of the cruise control vacuum servo control unit in eariler years for our vans. It was under the battery tray. There was a concern that battery acid destroyed the vac hose going to the CC servo control unit. If the servo unit is under there, then check the hoses for leaks and also check to see if the servo units rubber diaphragm does not have a hole in it. I looked in my 1979 and 1982 Dodge van shop manuals for information about cruise control, but nothing was listed about it. Maybe Dodge had a supplemental manual concerning cruise control back in those early years. I did not have cruise control in my 1979 and 1982 Dodge vans. Which is why I can't tell you for sure where the servo unit for the CC is located. But I would check under the battery tray. Hmmmm in later years, maybe that what is why Dodge moved the Vacuum servo motor to the other side of the van to keep away from the battery acid.

Okay, when I get it back home I'll check that. The shop it's at is taking forever.
They called today and said the mechanic couldn't get the steering gear box out without cutting part of the wheel well fender behind the tire (i know the piece they mean, it's just a wall of flat sheet metal). Boggles my mind since it looked to be like it should come right out the bottom ... but.. they don't jack it up with a floor jack, they use a lift for the whole vehicle so it had it's weight on the axle, which might be why.. I don't know. But they'd have to jack it up to get the wheel off to cut the sheet metal so who knows. I was at the hospital with my mom (she injured her back) so I couldn't run over there and see what they were doing.. so i just have to trust them. They said it won't be visible with the tire on. I assume it's just a few inches they have to remove down low on the sheet metal. I told them to paint the edge where they cut it and they said they'd see if they have any around.
This was supposed to have been finished on Tuesday.. their excuse was that the mechanic started on some old SUV for someone and a bolt broke on the timing cover, the intake or something like that so it ended up being they had to finish that. Today they called at 2:45 or so telling me they had to cut the sheet metal because the mechanic tried everything and couldn't get it out.
At least they do ask you before doing it.
I keep forgetting.. the factory service manual has a separate one for electrical so it won't be in the one I have ether.. like yours. It covers the engine, transmission, chassis, etc.

Sorry to hear about your mother, hope she is ok.
Concerning the steering gear removal. On page 19-13 of my 1979 Dodge manual, it does not say anything about cutting sheet metal. The manual says to first completely detach steering column from floor and instrument panel and remove it from van. Next step is to disconnect power steering hoses from gear. Then from under van remove steering arm retaining nut and lock washer. Remove steering arm with tool # C-4150. Finally remove three gear to frame retaining bolts or nuts and then remove gear. Thats it.

Yeah.. but I was at the hospital and didn't have a manual to reference so I just had to take their word for it. They said they checked the repair manual they have (computerized I think, that's what even small time garages use these days) and it didn't say anything about it they said.
Guess I should have just done it myself but I'm so tired or working on it at this point and wanted it done. They are one of the few shops that will even touch an old 1 ton van.
~ ~
EDIT: The van is ready but I called just as they finished so I have to wait to get a callback from them on the total price. They used some of the belts i already bought and had in the van so that lowered the price some. They said that the mechanic was able to bend the sheet metal to get the steering gear box out and bent it back when he was done installing the new one... so they didn't have to do any cutting after all.

Okay.. I'm 100% sure the component down under the van next to the transmission is the cruise control servo. It has 2 cables coming off of it.. one going straight to the transmission (the speed sensor cable) and one going up to the carburetor (throttle). And a small wire harness of abotu 2-3 wires. The hose I put was a little bit squished/collasped from the hard bend it expects out of the hose so i pulled the slack and hopefully made it where it's not got restricted vacuuum. If that doesn't fix it, I won't mess with it anymore unless I just try another piece of hose, or a 90 degree bend fitting. The hose I bought and paid new priced for from the local place felt half way rotten... all hard. It was a pain to get it onto the servo.
The only thing directly under the battery tray really is the horn and the steering gear box.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
Who says Entrelac Crochet has to be done in Diamonds? Not me and now, you either.
Create a square or rectangle with this spiraling pattern using self striping yarn. Pictured using Bernat Mosaic in Ambrosia (teals, purples, brown) and Calypso (rainbow). Just 4 skeins creates a 32"x32" size baby afghan. The results are just stunning and you will be mesmerized. Pattern is written that you adjust the size as you wish. Make your base square or rectangle, then keep going round and round to the size you desire.
This pattern uses Tunisian Simple stitch, with decreases and increases to create the corners. No special hook needed, just a standard metal K Size hook was used. No prior tunisian or entrelac is needed, however due to the increases and decreases this is not a beginner project.
Pattern is written in American Standard terms with diagrams to help you along the way. Permission to sell finished items given with credit for design.
From my hook to yours, Carlinda Lewis.

Reasonable Expectations for 08-09 (Gagner)
25 games into his NHL career, Sam Gagner looked like a kid who didn't really belong. He started his NHL career 25gp, 2-8-10 and minus 10.
His next 54 games (11-28-39, -11) saw marked improvement although he was still throwing away at-bats.
I think we might be able to read Gagner's season a little better if we split it in half. Early on he grabbed a lot of attention for his ability in the shootout and some ridiculous moves, but later in the season Gagner appeared to be turning a corner and having the game slow down for him.
If that is true, then it should have shown up in the season's final half. Right?
- First 40: 3-13-16, (.400ppg) -11
- Final 39: 10-23-33, (.846ppg) -10
The shocking item isn't the plus minus (that was fairly predictable, one doubts he'll be a plus player this season either) but that the results in the final 39 games were so much better. I think we all saw improvement and that he was winning more plays than early in the season but that's a lot of offense for someone who still doesn't shave and 39 games is a nice long period of time for evaluation.
According to Gabriel Desjardins, Gagner played with the best possible teammates but faced tougher opponents than one would expect from a raw rookie out of junior. His points per 60 total 5×5 (1.96) was just mid-level on this roster and trailed the other wunderkind Cogliano but they put up about the same number of points at EVs. The difference? At-bats:
- Cogliano 15-20-35 in 887:44EVs minutes
- Gagner 9-24-33 in 1009EVs minutes
Gagner and Cogliano had very similar boxcar numbers at the end of the day, but Gagner required 2 more minutes a night (12:46 to 10:49) to get it done. That's a lot of at-bats.
How did Gagner compare in this area with Patrick Kane?
- Gagner 9-24-33 in 1009EVs minutes (1.96)
- Kane 14-30-44 in 1174EVs minutes (2.25)
Kane required another minute and a half per night (14:19 to 12:46) that Gagner didn't get but he also delivered more offense.The other big factor in a Kane V. Gagner comp? Age. Patrick Kane is 264 days older than Sam Gagner.
There has been a lot of talk about Gagner being vulnerable to a sophomore slump. I guess he's as vulnerable as anyone, but the major factor in keeping him up all last season was injury and it would be my guess that is huge this season too. Until Gagner can compete physically against men 10-15 years older the danger of injury is greater than the danger of not being able to hit a curveball.
All that factored in, I think we'll see some slight improvement from Gagner this season. He'll probably start taking over someone's PP time after Christmas and of course you're not going to let Sam Gagner skate out there with craptastic linemates so he'll probably get to play with some or all of Cole, Penner, Nilsson, Cogliano, Horcoff and Hemsky.
Prediction for 08-09: 78gp, 18-35-53 (.679 per game).

The Bachelorette sneak peek. watch
The Bachelorette: 'Episode 602' watch
The Men Tell All: Preview watch
After enduring 18 seasons of The Bachelor and 10 seasons of The Bachelorette, it takes a lot to surprise host Chris Harrison. But in its inaugural run of Bachelor in Paradise, Harrison says there is one coupling that has him stunned.
It's no secret that The Bachelorette's Chris Soules was a front-runner to star on The Bachelor. He's hot, successful, left his season broken-hearted — all the makings for the perfect lead. But with another past fan-favorite -- Arie from Emily Maynard's season -- also in talks for the gig, host Chris Harrison says the decision came down to the wire.
ABC has chosen Chris Soules as the next star of The Bachelor, it was announced Wednesday on Good Morning America.
"I was humbled, flattered, grateful," he said during the reveal. "Coming from a small town I never expected to have this opportunity to be on either show, let alone be the lead on The Bachelor. So it's been awesome."
Soules, 32, became a fan-favorite on the most recent season of The Bachelorette and made it to the Final 3. During his fantasy suite date with Andi, she decided to let him go before the night was over. Following his exit, the Iowa farmer told us, "It's OK to [be vulnerable]. When I get the opportunity with the right person, I can do that and still survive if it doesn't work out and still do it again. This helped me learn a lot about myself and how to cope and put yourself in situations and manage it as an adult and without family and friends. I know it helped me grow."
Summer may be winding down, but Monday nights are just heating up with the premiere of ABC's newest reality show, Bachelor in Paradise.
The latest spin-off from the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise, this seven-episode series features past Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants living in an isolated, romantic Mexican locale, where they'll take another shot at finding love. The premiere (8/7c) begins with the arrival of eight women and six men, and after a series of dates, each man chooses one woman at the first rose ceremony. But while two ladies leave by the end of the opener, new cast members arrive to shake things up each week.
Meet the cast of Bachelor in Paradise
"With Bachelor Pad, you got caught up in the game, so that's why we tore it apart and retooled it," host Chris Harrison tells TVGuide.com. "It became about money, and our show and franchise was never about that. So I think people will love that Bachelor in Paradise is about what makes The Bachelor and The Bachelorette great — only it's not just [one guy or one girl]. It's that times 10, which leads to love triangles, drama and amazing dates. If you love Bachelor or Bachelorette you won't not be addicted to it."

GroundbreakingPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
A 2005 survey by the Music Critics Association of North America reported that composers aren't breaking new ground these days. What does that mean? From a journalist's point of view, "breaking ground" means novelty, which translates into things that are easy to write about. Putting an unusual sound source on the stage, incorporating new technology or theatrics into performance, even using a catchy or provocative title: these are the things that journalists can grab onto, hooks that make writing a feature or a review on a tight deadline a bit more manageable. None of these things are inherently good or bad, or even inherently new or old, but they can be perceived as newsworthy.
That's the superficial meaning of "groundbreaking," but what of the more significant kinds of innovation? Is it true that composers are just rehashing — or to use a very unfashionable word, developing — what's been done before?
That would be a very sad situation, wouldn't it?
Or would it?
What does the word "groundbreaking" really mean? Everywhere I look, I see broken ground. I see peaceful meadows, teeming forests and weedy lots dug up the name of progress and growth. Growth and progress can be wonderful things, but too often they just serve as a euphemisms for greed and boredom. Ground sometimes gets torn up just to give people's lives meaning, to mark territory, or to make room for more expensive, expansive automobiles.
These days, I find myself wanting to repair some of the ground that's been broken, to write music that connects the dots, rather than ever more distantly scattering them. I take special pride in pieces that don't wear their innovations on their sleeves, music that doesn't hit you over the head with its newness. I like a piece whose novelty only becomes apparent when you try to peg it on an earlier generation and find it just doesn't fit.
The perception that great art must be groundbreaking reminds me of the "be fruitful and multiply" dictum from the Bible. Fine, as long as there was a danger of population extinction, and there were adequate resources in the earth to feed expanding generations. At this point, it would appear that there are enough people on this planet that the best chance we have for extinction is self-destruction, so I'm for population maintenance, not growth.
In the same vein, I think we've broken enough ground for the time being — physically, culturally and metaphorically — to satisfy even the most severe cases of attention-deficit disorder. There is a place now in our world for composers, for artists, who can reconnect us with one another, with the past and the future — with solid ground.
Mind you, I don't believe for a minute that there is nothing new being done, or nothing new to be done. There are so many possibilities, it's nauseating.
I just feel that novelty is overrated. If we think like journalists, then newness is everything. If we think like artists, then truth is everything, and truth is one of the oldest things going. And it's one of the few things that hasn't lost any value over the years.
So if I end up breaking any ground, I'm going to make sure I'm not just marking my territory. If I break new ground, I hope it will be because I have something healthy to plant.

WINSLOW, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities in northeastern Arizona say human remains have been found south of Winslow.
Navajo County Sheriff's officials say identification of the remains along with the cause and manner of death will be made by the county Medical Examiner's Office.
They say a Winslow man was out gathering cattle on a ranch Wednesday morning when he came across the remains.
He then contacted the sheriff's office.
Deputies went to the ranch site to search for evidence along with the Heber Overgaard search and rescue crew, the county sheriff's auxiliary volunteers, the county attorney's office investigator and Show Low police detectives.

to update the site in a timely fashion, and I'd been
wondering whether I should give up. Then some
Florida CM'ers undertook a campaign to deluge me with
email asking for their listing to be updated -- as
though that would help me get to it sooner, and as though I
should move them ahead of the dozens of other cities already
waiting in queue for their update. Even when I explained
that I have, literally, over 10,000 messages in my In Box,
they didn't care:
hope this wastes your WHOLE day thinking up a reply to
this. ... why am I sharing this with you? Oh yeah, to
waste your precious time! Your an elitist FUCK. ... How
much time of yours have I wasted now? I have wasted
enough of my time trying to be nice to you, doing all but
stroking your hair back to get you to change TWO FUCKING
FIVES into TWO S***** SEVENS! I think your scag mother
should think about building a time machine and going BACK
in time and have second thoughts about FUCK*** your dad
the prison guard. ... Feel free to post the sht out of
this so it wastes even MORE time from your 10,005 eek
mails. ... HEY CALL ME 561-633-3742. We'll talk about how
busy you AREN'T! ... Let me know how much time I have
wasted of yours but don't stop the clock until you hang
up with me you self-righteous prick. Oh yeah before you
pick up the phone, focus on this: SUPER FUCK YOU!

So okay, I'm done. I encourage people to seek
Critical Mass information on the Critical
Mass Wiki, and more importantly, to help update it.
A community effort is the best way to ensure that ride info
is updated in a timely fashion.
Ride on,
