APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Several hail storms went through Wisconsin late Tuesday.
The National Weather Service reported no major building damage.
McKinley in Polk County had two-and-three-quarter-inch hail, almost the size of a small softball. The Appleton area had quarter-sized hail.
Pellets covered the ground at Fifield in Price County. Smaller and lesser hail came down at Marshfield, Black Creek, Suring, Plymouth, and parts of Ashland County.
Ashland had 48 mile an hour winds. Trees fell at Waukesha. One tree fell on a car near Silver Lake in Kenosha County.
Most storm-related power outages have been resolved. The only noticeable outage Wednesday morning was in the New Berlin area, where We Energies said more than 80 customers were in the dark.
An upper level low pressure system is expected to hang over Wisconsin for the rest of the week, with stormy conditions possible each afternoon and evening.
Highs Wednesday are predicted to be near 80 except along Lake Michigan.

The NFL Rules Committee has proposed a new rule that limits ball carriers from lowering their heads to lead into contact. It is a safety rule designed to limit the amount of stress and trauma that a player will get from knocking heads into other players. As much as I value player safety, the proposed safety rule will alter the game in a profoundly negative way. It removes the ability of a running back – physical wide receivers as well – to get low, lower their head and move through potential tacklers.
Players like Maurice Jones-Drew, Ray Rice, and Adrian Peterson are infamous for using their bodies to bully tacklers out of the way. Shorter running backs like MJD and Rice, as quick as they are, are largely reliant on using their smaller, denser bodies to push through defenders. Power running is an important part of the ground game and this move to limit lowering the head will further diminish the value of the running back.
Beyond diminishing the value of the running back, the proposed rule may not be as safe as intended. While it will limit using the crown of the helmet, it may cause ball carriers to take more shots to the jaw. I'm not the only one who thinks so too. Emmitt Smith made his voice heard during an interview with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas saying, "If I'm a running back and I'm running into a linebacker, you're telling me I have to keep my head up so he can take my chin off? You've absolutely lost your mind."
If the NFL is aiming to force more passing in the NFL, then rules like this would be the way to do it. For those of us that love the way the game is played now and like a little splash of power running, this rule seems a little ridiculous. As Smith also said, "I disagree with the rule altogether. It doesn't make any sense for that position. It sounds like it's been made up by people who have never played the game of football."
Couldn't agree more Emmitt.

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi Lyrics
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape

Should Bill Clinton Have Been Removed From Office Because Of His Actions?
Bill Clinton was voted not guilty of charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, and malfeasance in office. These all arose because of the Lewinsky scandal and the Paula Jones lawsuit.
Yes, he is a sicko
Side Score: 17
No, he is not guilty!
Side Score: 12
Not really about him being a sicko. If a man is getting a blowjob, good for him. The whole investigation thing was kind of lame, and really just the work of the Republicans in Senate and House trying to get rid of him. The thing, the man lied under oath and committed crimes just trying to cover this bullshit up. If he came out and told the truth in the beginning, it would have been a lot easier for him. But he tried to cover it up and ended up building it all up on him. Plus, the other shit that got uncovered when under investigation.
So for what ended up happening is why he should have been impeached. But it's not like Nixon, who was being investigated for an actual crime.
4 years ago | Side: Yes, he is a sicko
1 point
1. There's nothing sick about getting a blow job
2. If you were married and got a blow job by someone who wasn't your wife you'd lie too, so who the fuck cares?
3. Unless you're Hilary Clinton, you should mind your own business.
4. The entire investigation was political shenanigans and a waste of tax payer money.
5. This entire debate is childish.
4 years ago | Side: your tags are gay
1 point
First, Bill Clinton was not impeached because of his sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Second, he was impeached by the House of Representatives because he initially lied to the America about the affair, which was to put him on trial.
Third, in the Senate, they voted against the removal of the President.
Fourth, a impeachment trial is purely a political trial where there are no charges, and he can only be removed as President. If any one of the described crimes in the Constitution are committed, those charges are brought to a court of law.
4 years ago | Side: No, he is not guilty!
No, his ability to legislate appropriately is not governed by his physical desires.
Furthermore, we are not privy to the workings of his private relationships...
Also, he was a really solid president...
And finally, it's none of our business.
4 years ago | Side: No, he is not guilty!

None of the 14 states (plus the District of Columbia) that raised their tobacco taxes last year dedicated a dime of the resulting revenues to tobacco-prevention programs, Reuters reported April 8.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Office on Smoking and Health said that the average state tobacco tax rose from $1.18 per pack in 2008 to $1.34 per pack nationally last year. Higher cigarette taxes can prevent both youth and adult smoking, the CDC said.
However, American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown said that legslators "can multiply the positive impact of a tax increase on both public health and their state's fiscal health by dedicating a portion of the money to implementing tobacco prevention programs that have, in some cases, reduced youth smoking by up to 40 percent."
The report appears in the April 9, 2010 issue of CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

It sounds like the sort of story we'd make up during a fever dream, but then you would've said that about the Fight Club musical and that seems to be real.
David Fincher apparently wants to bring 'erotic and violent' adult cartoon Heavy Metal back to the big screen, using different directors for each of the eight or nine segments.
We'll follow this one closely, but we remember the last time a bunch of directors got together to geek out on an 'erotic and violent' project. That was Grindhouse. It was brilliant. But no-one went to see it.
Check out the original story at Coming Soon, then head over to our forums to tell us which directors you'd like to see get involved.

Current Articles
RSS Feed
It can be hard to believe that a platform, which is seemingly famous for sneezing pandas and talking dogs, is also a powerful platform for businesses. As of February 2011, YouTube had 490 million users who spent a combined 2.9 billion hours, in one month, viewing content. More video content is uploaded on YouTube in 60 days than CBS, ABC, and NBC have created in the last 60 years![i] Considering these facts, you can see that YouTube is an immensely popular resource that your marketing team simply cannot avoid.
Brands that avoid YouTube because they believe the video quality needs to be professional are misinformed. Yes, many big name brands like Vitamin Water have excellent production and superstar endorsements. But, there are also YouTubers like Charles Smith. He was able to mitigate the importance of high quality video and expensive production by hi-lighting his unbelievable talent and adding a quirky ending to his videos.
There are three basic methods you should keep in mind when launching a successful YouTube campaign: inform people, entertain people, or educate people.
To inform people, you need to tell them about your brand or product. Showing them the humble roots of your business, or the people that make up the brand. A video tour of your office or manufacturing plant is a great way of showing people these aspects of your business. Collings Guitars, an American guitar manufacturer in Texas, has produced an amazing documentary style video that profiles the techniques and people behind their production. This insider's look gives viewers that extra sense of loyalty to the brand creating first time and life long customers.
This seems to be goal of many video campaigns. Unless you have a colossal budget like Old Spice, keep your ideas simple. BlendTec's "Will it Blend" series is probably the most successful example of a small budget, simple idea, which found incredible viral success. Granted, many viewers will be interested in seeing what gets destroyed next, but there will also be a small portion of the viewers who come across these videos and are truly in need of a blender. They've generated over 170 million views with this campaign! Now, that's exposure!
Another reason people are directed to YouTube is in search for a "how to". This creates an opportunity for your business to show how your product or service solves problems. CoverGirl Makeup offers a YouTube video series about applying makeup. In this series, CoverGirl educates the audience using a professional makeup artist who explains her techniques all while using and promoting the CoverGirl product.
Go on Google and search for something with 'video' in the query, like 'music video'. You should notice that somewhere on the first page of results there is a direct link to a video. Take a closer look at the web address of that video and you will notice it's a YouTube address. Businesses like to promote their own, and by adding video content to YouTube your brand is more likely to rank higher in Google's search results.

Thursday nights belong to Wahoo's Lounge and their World Famous Chicken Drop - for sure! Dough and Noele are the great hosts/owners - energetic and super friendly and have continued with the grand old Chicken Drop tradition. And how does it play out you may ask? Well, you pay for a ticket which corresponds to a number on a huge board on the ground surrounded by a net. The price ranges from $1.00 to $10.00 depending on the game. A well fed chicken is brought out and after a hilarious ritual of a gentle shake and....and you have to be there to see it, the chicken is placed into the board inside the fenced area. After a while, well - everything you put in at some point must come out. If it comes on YOUR number - wahoo! You are the winner! - The prize if from $10 up to $1000 depending on the game. Every Thursday at Wahoo Lounge!
- Chicken DropJill HigginsFirst to Review
So...yeahhh...there really wasn't a category for this "thing to do!" ha
The chicken drop is held on Wednesday evenings on the beachfront in San Pedro. You need to arrive early at the Spindrift bar and get your number/s - they go fast!
Then you relax, enjoy the music, do a little shopping with the locals selling their wares, and wait for the chicken to poop.
If he poops on your number - you win the pot!
There are videos on youtube if you would like a preview. :)

NHL linesmen have been instructed to stop a fight when the participants opt to remove their helmets prior to swapping blows.
This isn't a rule change, simply a common sense approach to encourage players to protect their head at all times.
There is nothing formal about this strategy. It was implemented shortly after the preseason where it became evident players weren't concerned about the additional two-minute penalty for removing their helmets to fight...even though the rule was introduced entirely for player safety.
Linesmen now have the authority to step in, when it is safe to do so, and stop a fight when the combatants purposely take off their helmets.
The first clear example of this occured Tuesday night in Montreal when linesmen Steve Barton and Michel Cormier stepped in between Montreal's Travis Moen and Edmonton's Luke Gazdic seconds after they dumped their helmets to scrap.
Both players received unsportsmanlike minors rather than fighting majors.
Good communication between the two officials in Montreal allowed them to act quickly, however, this type of interruption will be handled on a case-by-case basis, meaning there will be fights where it's either unsafe for the officials to intervene, or timing won't allow it.
The league's officiating department is hoping the buzz created by their actions at the Bell Centre will discourage other players from continuing to intentionally break a rule.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Jim Tressel has submitted his application for the job of Youngstown State University President.
YSU Public Information officer for the office of the President, Ron Cole confirmed on Friday that the former YSU and Ohio State University football coach has applied for the vacancy.
Cole submitted the following statement attributed to Tressel:
"I am respectful of the presidential search process underway at both Youngstown State University and The University of Akron. Both University communities are a very meaningful part of my professional history. I feel grateful that people from both University communities have expressed interest in my application. I believe it's appropriate that I not comment any further during this part of the process."
Tressel is currently Executive Vice President for Student Success at the University of Akron, and is one of several applicants for the vacant president's position there as well.
Valley political, business and community leaders have been lobbying the YSU trustees to appoint Tressel to take the spot left vacant by Dr. Randy Dunn, who resigned after only seven months on the job.

Russia's Revived Il-76 Airlifter Now in Flight Test
Ilyushin and the Russian defense ministry have begun a joint flight-test and certification program for the Il-76MD-90A airlifter. The first flight in the program took place on March 18 at the Gromov Flight Test and Research Institute, in Zhukovsky, using the prototype (RA-78650) that first flew from the Aviastar manufacturing facility in Ulyanovsk in September last year.
Speaking to the media earlier this month, Ilyushin general director Victor Livanov said that the advent of the Il-76MD90A "means restoration of our in-country skills to design and manufacture airlifters. This was something we lost after the Soviet Union collapsed, since the Il-76 was in production in Uzbekistan. Meanwhile, Antonov is now a Ukrainian company, and none of its designs is in series production right now. We recommended restarting production at Aviatar with a redeveloped Il-76 in 2006, and the Russian government agreed." Livanov added that in 2006 Aviastar had only 10 design computers, and the Ilyushin design house only a few more. In addition to acquiring and mastering the computer-aided design technologies, Aviastar has restored 500 machine tools and modernized them with new reprogrammable units during the Il-76MD90A effort.
Redevelopment of the Il-76 began in earnest in 2008, with simultaneous digitizing of the old drawings. The new wing was modeled on that of the Il-96 and now features long structural members, lower weight and longer lifetime. "About 70 percent of the original onboard systems were replaced by new ones," Livanov said, adding that only the hydraulics remain largely unchanged. Almost all vendor items for the Il-76 were out of production and have been replaced with newer items now available in the market. The Il-76MD90A received new avionics and a digital flight-control system.
Livanov said that Aviastar is on track to hand over the first pair of production aircraft to the Russian air force next year. A contract for 39 Il-76MD90As worth Rouble 139 billion was placed in October last year. The Russian air force operates nearly one hundred Il-76s as airlifters, plus another 50 in various special-mission roles. "We will need to replace them all at some point; some will be withdrawn by 2020, while the remaining ones will undergo a 15- to 20-year life extension," Livanov said. "There is rule in aviation. If the airframe is good, make the longest possible use of it, and you can change engine and systems," he added.
The Il-76MD90A is capable of carrying and airdropping the heavy BDM-4 infantry fighting vehicle, a newly developed replacement for the BMD-3 that now equips Russian paratrooper units.

BLG chief exec: Clydes deal is no rescue merger
Readers' comments (24)
a lot of BLG partners were left totally unconvinced about the Jabba's strategy for saving the firm. Clint gave it a good go, but he moved it too far away from its base. No wonder so many corporate partners left after Jabba pointed out to them that their salaries were dragging the firm down.
Stripping it back down to focus on litigation and insurance is a good thing, but Jabba has to carry people with him an judging by these comments, he is failing in his task
how and why did this leak?
I can't see how this works for anyone at BLG. Turkeys voting for Christmas anyone?
@Anonymous | 6-Jun-2011 3:35 pm
I'd like to quote the Beastie Boys to you and say: "It's sabotage!"
But, seeing the following quotes from BLG this week - which rather gives it away, it seems they may have leaked in order to try and drive this through - i.e. let the media and the market push this one along by presenting the BLG partnership with a fait accompli they cannot escape from.
Mind you, risky strategy - many BLG partners will simply vote for this for fear of no alternative, keep their heads down, and then head for the exits as soon as the ink is dry. (And then there's the ones who'll be pushed........)
I'm sure Clyde's management will have done their research into BLG's negotiating tactics when they bought Halliwells last year.
With a fiercely independent partnership like Barlows has, there is no way they can be going into this deal voluntarily.
Clydes is known for its no nonsense stance and in any other market would be considered the venture capitalist in this deal. In other words, come in and take the value and leave others to pick up the rest.
I think comments regarding Jabba go too far. He has inherited a firm which needs to address its financials. Such a deal, if successful, would be a major coup for any manager working with such a firm as BLG. It is the best option going forward, if this is right, it could be the only option...
This deal is really excellent news for the competitors of BLG and Clydes. Also, latest astrological projections show that the world will end on Wednesday afternoon.
The hard truth is, like it or not, the Jabba is the face of future law firm management. He does not appear to care two hoots about BLG's history or what its staff think. He has gone into BLG and salvaged a business that had lost its way for 15 years. In private equity terms, this merger is a 'liquidity event' for the senior partners of BLG. The future will be all about people like him being able to come into ailing law firms, turn them around and negotiate the best possible exit for the owners of the business. That will be the world of private equity. People who think it is failure not to make BLG a world beater on its own really live in cloud cuckoo land. There are too many dusty old management teams in law firms pursuing the myth that their firm has the right to exist independently for ever. Many of them are in the insurance sector. They should have a look at their clients and ask themselves how many times there has been merger activity involving their key clients over the last 10 years.
Everywhere I look at the moment firms are trying to come to terms with what happened to them during the recession. BLG is no different. A controlling senior equity partnership which earned to much for too little almost drive the firm into the ground. The recesssion enabled the firm to let go of a few of those egos and start to refocus on its core practice of insurance. It may have been too late by then, of course, because the insurance market has contracted, there is less work around. So for BLG the world has changed around it, leaving it wanting to retrench to its core base, except the core base has disappeared.
The only option left is a merger, and for BLG to have attracted Clydes is a major coup.
Jabba most certainly is the future face of law firm management, and hopefully everyone, including clients, will be better off for it.
nonsense. Look at how profitable BLG was in the early noughties and how since then Clydes and others have left it trailing. The decline set in long before the recession. The figures and the departures of many quality lawyers, including its best insurance lawyers, tell their own story, no matter how hard apologists for the present and recent management try to pretend otherwise.

Every time I upload new images or change anything, or it seems, do anything at all, the Elements Organiser runs an Update which can take quite a long time. It never used to do this and I certainly haven't changed any settings. I've looked in Preferences but can't find anything that I might be able to change to solve the problem.
Can anyone suggest something I could try please?
Cheers, Chris
Hi Chris,
One approach might be to reinstall the application - sorry.
But another might be to do a manual update and let it complete as it sounds as if it thinks it needs the update.
I wonder if its related to elements 10 trying to prompt you into upgrading to elements 11?
Sorry, these are just general ideas.
Hello Chris,
It seems as if elements is not getting enough power to carry out the tasks, you say you have checked preferences
but it may be worth looking at checking the preferences within the Editor, open any photo in the Editor, click on
preferences then click on performance, you will see a slider to set the memory usage, I used to set mine to about 85%,
I would also set the history states to 10 and cache to about 4, this may help, as you say this has only recently started
have you noticed a general slow down in your computor as this may indicate something further to investigate.
Hi Stuart and David.
Well, I changed my Performance settings as per above (they were previously 70%, 50 history and 6 cache). But absolutely no different. Every time I go into the Organiser it runs an update. I think the actual computer might be slightly hesitant lately (FF keeps stalling briefly at times) but I wouldn't know what to do about that.
I don't think it's anything to do with updating to E11 Stuart. I've not had that before. I suppose I'll have to try uninstalling but it's a real faff. It must be something to do with settings either in E10 or my computer but I'm at a loss as to what to try.
Thanks for your help guys but back to the drawing board.
Helpful Post!
Quote: computer might be slightly hesitant lately (FF keeps stalling briefly at times)
Ah, then it sounds like you 'may' have a virus that's blocking your updates - ( sending calls via another proxy server) - if that's the case you need to be sure you PC is Virus free first.
Is your current AV upto date - what is it?
If you are not sure then do run this online virus checker - though a virus may block it.
If you do end up reinstalling Elements, then there is a config libray file you will want to keep to save reindexing all the files.
But first - run updates and check viruses.
Good Luck...
Thanks Stuart. I hope it's not a virus. I tried looking at the EPZ Sudoku a couple of days ago and FF prompted me there might be a virus there but I looked anyway because it was on the EPZ site and thought it'd be OK. I'm the the peeps here wouldn't let anything nasty through. But anyway, it was doing it before then and nothing new nasty has happened. I've got McAfee which is up to date.
I'll have a look at that website. Cheers.
PS: I was doing my File "housework" on NY Eve and seeing as I had loads of space on the hard drive I copied a lot of images off of one of my external drives back to the C drive. I've just now deleted them all from the C: drive and E10 seems to be back to normal. I wonder if it was trying to read through all those files, although I did have "search for new files" etc. and "Watch folders" turned off. If it was just than, then problem solved, but I'm sure it was Updating to a lesser degree before.
I'll see how it goes.
OK, another good practice on XP (and vista i think) if to defrag your disk - it can take a good few hours.
It looks at all your files and tidies them up as sometimes they are spread all over the disk and its slow to access.
START > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > "Disk Defragmenter"
The System will often run faster after this exercise - particularly if its not been done for a good few months.
For windows 7 or windows 8 this is done automatically.
That's a good idea Stuart. I've done a fair bit of moving about stuff and haven't defragged for a good six months. Off to do it now.
Mind you, I've got Windows 7 but didn't know it did it automatically.
Ah, just gone into Defrag and it's set to do it at 1.00 every Wednesday so it's already been done. I've learned something else.
Hello again Chris
It looks like you are getting sorted out, another couple of tips for Elements which I found helpful, under preferences, auto-analyze,
uncheck all the boxes, if you tag your photos after they have loaded into the organiser there is no reason to have this running as it just uses
valuable resources, and to be quite honest I found it to be a pain in the rear, you would also be wise to use the watched folders with your windows
pictures folder active, C:\users\your name\pictures\ also at the bottom of that page it reads "when new files are found in watched folders"
check the "notify me" box, that way all the photos that come into your computer are picked up by elements and you will be given the option
if you would like to load them into the Organiser or reject them. I hope this might be helpful.
Thanks David. I've just turned the Watched Folders option to on again as I'd turned it off. I can see the benefits of this now. At least you can see what it wants to upload. I turned it off because all I use the Organiser for is for uploading and rejecting new images or ones I want to work on from the archives. Once I've worked on an image I delete it from the Organiser. I don't store things on it.
Thanks both for your input. I think it was my fault for moving old folders onto the C drive so perhaps I just overloaded everything.
Much appreciated.

Instead of swallowing multiple capsules of single minerals every day, this is a readily assimilated and easy way to get the full spectrum into your body every day. We add a capful to our glasses of water twice a day and hydrate with mineral-rich water.
Good Product for the Price

Some handles such as the 6 pin are two seperate slabs which enclose the full tang. I have two originals that only have 5 pins, but they are identical to the 6 pin style.
Some blades only had a very short tang which was inserted into a sawn slot handle and secured with 3 pins. My Father had one of these that he used as a utility knife. The blade had been broken at some time.
Another type had a short pointed tang made for pushing into a handle, the same as a metal file. I also managed to purchase two of these in a second hand shop.

My husband and I went to Montana and Wyoming for our vacation. We decided that we would like to listen to audiobooks that take place in that area to "fit the mood" and to help deal with the long drive ahead of us (sixteen hours the first day and ten the next.) We found a series of books by C. J. Box. He writes about Joe Pickett, a Wyoming fish and game warden, so we chose a few of them to listen to. Great choice! Pickett and his family are likable characters, and the books themselves were "page turner" mysteries.

My husband and I just returned from a driving trip down south to visit family in San Antonio and New Orleans.
Audiobooks saved my neck. Literally! No more twisting around to the back seat reading picture books to my kids on long car trips. They saved my dignity too. No more trying – and failing – to do 20 different character voices complete with foreign accents and hearing, "Why can't Daddy read to us?" Professional actors do a much better job reading stories than my husband and I ever could. Audiobooks made the miles fly by.
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp air, the brilliant red and yellow maples, the amazingly clear blue skies and the anticipation of Thanksgiving. I look forward to the simplicity of this holiday—a chance to reflect and be thankful for all that we have including those we love. And of course, the food!
That is the question. Lately, I have had so many books that I just can't find the time to read all of them. Therefore, I have chosen to listen to some of them, and it's working out very well. I can read a book at home and listen to one when I am in the car. So, those of you who find it difficult to get through all of your books, try not reading. Listening works just as well.

MCPL's Reading Aloud Family Time (RAFT) program is just beginning. Any family who would like to participate can pick out two chapter books to read together as a family. Once your two books are read, you will receive a copy of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for your home library!
A reader can make or break an audiobook for me. I found this out the hard way a long time ago, so I keep a list of bad readers. This means that I have a list of books to actually read myself because the voices on the audiobook nearly ruined the books.
Recently, I have started knitting again. I decided that instead of wasting my time playing Facebook games at night, I would actually create something. I have been doing pretty well at it if I say so myself. So far, I have completed a pair of socks (a new skill for me), a stole, two headbands, a cover-up, and a cowl. And while I knit, I listen to audiobooks on my MP3 player.
Books have been around for a very long time. I mean, a REALLY long time. Many people, myself included, have an eReader or a way to access digital books, even audiobooks. With all of this new technology used to read and access information, it's easy to forget where this information started.
Did you know that June is National Audiobook Month? Have you ever listened to a book? Do you have a favorite reader? There are just so many factors that make an audiobook great, right?

Cars Take Spotlight
at Chicago Auto Show
The latest vehicles that debuted in the Windy City.
Saturn is known for its sensible small and midsize cars. In Chicago the company showed a fanciful convertible concept that changes from two seats to four.
You'd be wrong, of course. Calendar year 2001 marked the first time in history that the U.S. truck category—which includes SUVs and vans—outsold cars.
But that fact didn't stop major automakers from showcasing new car designs in the Windy City this year. They took the wraps off 14 cars that had never been shown to the public in North America before. This is more than double the number of all-new SUVs shown at the Chicago show. It's more than double the number of all-new trucks, too.
The Coming Spring and Convertibles
When you're in the Windy City, it's never too early to start thinking about spring.
So Mazda officials, who unveiled the original Miata roadster in Chicago in 1989, chose Chicago for the unveiling of their newest Miatas. The two new Special Edition (SE) trims come with a combination of appealing features such as a standard in-dash six-CD changer with a 200-watt Bose AM/FM/CD audio system with speed-sensing audio volume control. Other distinguishing features include a six-speed manual transmission, a chrome fuel filler door, custom 16-inch Enkei alloy wheels and exclusive Special Edition badging.
The Miata SEs come in only two colors: Blazing Yellow with black leather seats inside—the first time that black leather is factory-installed in a Miata—and Titanium Gray Metallic with brown leather seats. The SEs are slated for showrooms starting in March.
Mercury showcased a convertible version of its coming Marauder sedan and showed that, yes, a convertible can carry five passengers comfortably.
The open-air Marauder has the same 335-horsepower V8 as the hardtop car and, even better, the same 38 inches of rear-seat legroom. The 2003 Marauder sedan arrives in showrooms this summer, but there are no plans at this time to build the convertible.
Saturn, too, had a convertible in Chicago. Like the Marauder convertible, the Saturn Sky is a concept.
But the Sky has several novel features including an interior that can change from two seats to four and windshield glass that's colored a bluish tint to match the car body. The car is powered by a 180-horsepower four cylinder with a low-boost supercharger.
Pontiac Dominates New Car Showings
Pontiac was very busy in Chicago this year. Besides showing the restyled 2003 Sunfire, officials unveiled the 2003 Bonneville G/XP, which has a distinctly "customized" look with its lowered body, tinted windows and cladding-free sides. Even the Bonneville SSEi's supercharged V6 is worked over. With a K&N air filter system, Corsa Performance "cat-back" exhaust and an increased boost to the supercharger, the powerplant now generates 30 more horsepower, or 270.
"The G/XP is a visual demonstration of Pontiac's design direction, and hints at the potential design and performance direction of Bonneville," said Lynn Myers, Pontiac-GMC general manager.
She said much the same thing about Pontiac's G-Force that was on stage in Chicago. Based on a Grand Prix, the G-Force takes the Grand Prix's handling to a new level with a chassis, wheel and tire configuration designed to achieve .85G of lateral acceleration force and get the car to a top speed of 155 mph.
The 2003 Sunfire goes on sale this year, while Myers said the G/XP is slated as a specialty vehicle for sale next year. The G-Force isn't a production model but shows the trend for the next Grand Prix, which is a year away.
Performance and Mainstream Cars
Other new cars at Chicago included the 35th Anniversary Edition of Mercury Cougar due out in May, the redesigned Mercury Grand Marquis for 2003 and the 2003 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra.
Note this SVT model has the most power ever in a Ford-produced Mustang. Fitted with a Roots-type supercharger and water-to-air intercooler, the Cobra's 4.6-liter V8 generates 390 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.
Saturn had its 2003 L-Series models on display with restyled exterior and freshened interior, while Mitsubishi talked up its new GTS trim level of the Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder.
Hyundai's HCD7 was a futuristic vision of a luxury sedan and was fitted with a 270-horsepower V8.
Meantime, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz brought concept cars to Chicago that had first been unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2001. The Toyota pod looks sort of like a street sweeper but has colored lights that can convey a smile or sleepy eyes at the front of the car. The Mercedes F400 sports a novel suspension system that allows wheels to tilt, adjusting camber angle as you drive.
SUV News
New SUVs may not have been as numerous as the cars were at the Windy City auto show, but they still made news.
Jeep announced two new models. The Wrangler Rubicon is a low-volume model intended for off-road enthusiasts. It's outfitted with sturdy rock guards and an inline six-cylinder engine and lets a driver lock all four wheels at speeds under 10 miles an hour. The Rubicon is due in showrooms by early fall.
The Jeep Liberty Renegade is a restyled Liberty with roof-mounted light bar, colored wheels and new styled fender flares.
Kia announced it will add a second SUV to its line. The Sorento will be larger and more powerful than the current Kia Sportage. Equipped with a 192-horsepower V6, the Sorento will be offered in two- and four-wheel drive. Price wasn't announced, but the Sorento is expected in showrooms later this year.
Subaru showed its 2003 Forester, which arrives in showrooms in May with new styling and a larger interior, though exterior dimensions remain the same as they are in the current Forester. Power comes from a 165-horsepower four cylinder.
And Ford didn't exactly show a new SUV, but it released a sketch of the upcoming CrossTrainer. Headed for production in 2004, the CrossTrainer is destined to seat up to seven people while offering the attributes of an SUV and a sedan, company officials said.
Trucks Keep On Truckin'
Bragging rights were part of truck news in Chicago as Dodge showed its 2003 Ram heavy duty 2500 and 3500 models.
Officials noted the Ram heavy duty will be the most powerful heavy-duty pickup, fitted with the most powerful diesel engine on the market and a new 5.7-liter HEMI Magnum V8.
The Ram heavy duty also claims class-leading towing (Gross Combination Vehicle Weight Rating), payload capacity and interior room. Ram 2500 and 3500 models go into production in summer 2002.
General Motors Corp. also unveiled new 2003 trucks. The 2003 Chevrolet Silverado is restyled outside to bear more of a bold, family resemblance with the Chevy Avalanche and TrailBlazer. The interior is mildly redone.
Similarly, the GMC Sierra for 2003 is bolder in exterior look. GMC also showed its Terra4 concept truck that incorporates novel features such as a bed that's closed like a trunk and can be accessed either through the back or the side. The 285-horsepower V8 is mated to an electric motor, so fuel economy is improved 15 percent over a conventional truck, but without any loss of capability.
Nissan turned its attention to the sky in its compact pickup, showing the 2003 Frontier Open Sky. Due out in fall 2002, it will be the first compact truck in the industry with a power-operated, retractable top.
When open completely, the roof opening covers nearly five square feet. The Frontier Open Sky comes with a tubular-style roof rack, too.
Toyota unveiled a Tundra-based sport truck called the Stepside. Due out in October or November 2002, the model has a sporty stepside bed area and sport suspension that lowers it some four inches compared with a normal Tundra. The show truck in Chicago was finished in a brilliant blue.

Larimer County Get's Set For National Night Out: Registration Coming to a Close
National Night Out is one of the most innovative programs ever. The best part of the event is the connections made in your own neighborhoods. You don't have to be best friends with your neighbor, although it sure would be nice if you were, but in reality sometimes that doesn't happen. If for no other reason, it's a great way to familiarize yourself with your neighbors-this is good for numerous reason. (like who is suppose to be there and who shouldn't be in your neighborhood, remember it takes a village)
First Night in Fort Collins: a Family Celebration
Thanksgiving: 3 Day Countdown
Recipe Rescue: Superbowl Party Strategy
Dave's Top Nine Drinkin' Songs!
Company Holiday Party Do's and Don'ts
The holiday season is here again – and so is the email invitation to the official office holiday party.
While this annual event can be a fun way to socialize with colleagues and maybe blow off a little steam, remember that it's still your company holiday party – and not a football game tailgate with your college buds.

The SEPTEMBER Children's Literacy and Reading News Roundup
Welcome to the September children's literacy and reading news roundup, brought to you by Jen Robinson of Jen Robinson's Book Page, Terry Doherty of The Family Bookshelf and me.
Thank you! Thank you! Yesterday was READ FOR THE RECORD day sponsored by Jumpstart with great online materials still available! Thank you, Jumpstart, for this great annual day of reading which creates such great awareness nationally and even around the globe as noted in posts and tweets yesterday!
The Boxcar Children turns 70…and what will the celebration highlight? A prequel by an award winning writer! I can still hear my late grandmother Mid's voice reading that grand series to us girls. As far as I am concerned the opening lines of the original series are some of the best ever: One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from.
Jen posted some Quick Hits earlier this week and I remind you of her links to the obviously TERRIFIC KidLitCon12. Congratulations to Betsy Bird, Monica Edinger and Liz Burns for quite the event! Jen also discusses CYBILS (with nominations closing October 15) and the book fair sponsored by Guys Lit Wire for Ballou Senior High School in DC. As a resident of the "beltway" myself and working in DC, I can attest to the daily reminders of the serious need for books in the DC school libraries/classrooms…buy a book or two or three today, won't you?
Banned Books Week is completing its 30th year; if you have not been able to keep on top of all the great articles this week, check out www.bannedbooksweek.org. A useful site year round in my opinion!
Don't miss this great site celebrating 50 years of all things Clifford!
Looking ahead to events still to come in OCTOBER: In addition to preparing for Halloween with lots of great books old and new to share, other events upcoming in October include the full month being celebrated as National Children's Magazine Month and National Reading Group Month. Special days include among many others Columbus Day (8), The Count's birthday (9), first aerial photo in the U. S. taken in Boston from a hot air balloon, 1860 (13), the Star Spangled Banner was first sung in 1814 as well as Thomas Edison demonstrated Electric Light successfully in 1879 (19). I see some great writing prompts in these events as well as some super books called to mind (and/or waiting to be written)!
And finally, on the events front it is only 219 days until Children's Book Week 2013! Check out the countdown clock!
It's one of those times I can't pass up the chance to share exciting news about Reading Is Fundamental! RIF has been awarded a $4.18 million first-year research grant from the U. S. Department of Education's Innovative Approaches to Literacy Program. Check it out, we're excited about looking more closely at scalable summer learning strategies for early elementary students. This is also a great time to again thank each of you who worked so hard with us to have this competitive grant program included by Congress in the FY12 budget. Our project will utilize our recently released STEAM-themed Multicultural Book Collection highlighted in the September mid-month roundup by Jen. Stay tuned, much more to follow!
What's Wrong with Reading? read the title of the article. It began:
Recently I was "caught" reading at McDonald's by a group of kids at my school. I say "caught" because many of my peers consider reading to be a lame activity. They think it's something that only geeks do.
It is powerful, it is written by the teen who was "caught" and it sure made me stop in my tracks despite knowing the truth of the matter. Take a moment to read it and another moment to absorb it. Perhaps the most important article I have read in a long time, it continues to haunt me.
At Unpacking the POWER of Picture Books a recent column is a succinct set of tips the blogger gleaned from a new book for parents and teachers…with cute pictures of some very young relatives getting into books. A great refresher for all of us, some well worded tips to use with audiences of all types.
How to teach your child to love reading by Susan Elkin in The Independent was a follow up article to the recent study released in England showing fewer children and teens reading independently of school "have to read materials." Elkin reminds everyone of us "The most useful thing parents can do to encourage children and teenagers to read is to be seen reading a lot themselves. Parents who say they are "too busy to read" simply convey the message that reading is beneath the attention of important grown-ups. "Do as I say but not as I do" cuts no ice with children. They will quickly stop reading because not reading will be seen as "cool" and "adult". " This reminded me of the great image I had recently when Jen wrote she reached a milestone with Baby Bookworm recently; Jen read her own book, Bookworm sat in her little chair and read. And as Jen noted, maybe it was only for two minutes; but it is a start, a critical one for all children.
Another article of note: Why reading by third grade is critical, and what can be done to help children meet that deadline.
It's election season; and I am heartened by the discussions being reported on preschool education as a "hot topic" as well as the articles reporting on the states contemplating budget changes - up or down - for preschool education. Some I commend to you for review…and don't miss the discussion/debate in the comments:
Start them early, The Atlantic, September 22, 2012. Looking at San Antonio, important ballot question for November.
Smart Start? Will Preschool Budget Cuts Damage a Generation, Huffington Post, September, August 29, 2012 (updated). Looking at North Carolina's Smart Start program among other preschool topics/sites in the state.
Mississippi Pre-Kindergarten: Will A New Conversation About Funding Take Hold? , The Hechinger Report's HechingerEd blog, August 27, 2102.
China Aiming for the Gold in Starting Kids Early, US is Late to the Game, Ann O'Leary on Huffington Post Education blog, August 23, 2012.
My view: Obama, Romney need to know one thing about early childhood education - start over, Nancy Carlsson-Paige, CNN Schools of Thought blog, August 29, 2012.
We'll be back soon with a mid-October roundup. And in the meantime, we'll be sharing reading-related news on Twitter @CHRasco, @TheReadingTub, and @JensBookPage. Thank you for your passion and advocacy for children's literature and literacy!

I like Korra, but you've been keeping the truth from me this whole time!
Just a couple days ago, I watched Air with three of my cousins: an eleven-year old boy, a ten-year old girl, and a six-year old boy. (Really, I only meant to show them the first two episodes! I was going to space them out! But the kids wanted to keep going till four hours later we couldn't keep going, haha.)
When Asami is introduced, not very long after she took off her helmet — and I mean, during that scene, before the audience knows anything about her — the eleven-year old said, very definitely, "She's a bad guy."
"She's not bad."
"Yeah, she is," he said, and his sister was nodding beside him.
So why, I asked (pausing the video), did they think Asami was bad?
"Because look at her," said the ten-year old, and we all looked at her.
Again, the eleven-year old said, confident, "She's gonna be bad," and the six-year old said, "She's mean!"
But they didn't know anything about her.
What they meant was this: media (and specifically children's media, although certainly media intended for adults indulges in this too) has taught them that Certain Women Are Bad. This is something they expect now in the cartoons they watch, that a girl who wears make-up, who is very feminine, is — if there's another girl who's tomboyish or at least not overtly feminine — a Bad Girl. To my cousins, one of whom is only six, Asami was immediately pegged as Evil because a) she wears make-up and she's feminine and b) she's a rival for Mako's affections. Thus she must be a bad guy, right? Korra likes Mako and Korra's the Hero, thus she's the Good Girl, so if Asami likes Mako, that means Asami is the Bad Girl. "She wears short skirts, I wear sneakers," etc.
But of course, Asami is one of the kindest characters in all the Avatar universe. She's friendly, she's gracious, she assumes the best of everyone, she's fun and sweet, outgoing and confident. When she learns that Korra likes Mako, she doesn't turn on Korra or make demands of her. Only when Asami realizes that Mako likes Korra back does she call anyone out, and the only person she calls out is Mako. She defends Bolin from Mako when Mako gets angry with Bolin for spilling the beans re: the kiss, and she still stands by and supports Korra.
By the end of the season, all my cousins loved Asami. They were all furious on her behalf with regards to the love triangle, and her final confrontation with her father had the eleven-year old heartbroken.
Media matters. Children's media matters. Kids learn from the shows they watch and the books they read. What they learn, often, is that there are right ways to be a woman and wrong ways to be a woman, when the truth is that there is never a wrong way to be a woman. I hope there will be more Asami Satos in the fiction my cousins consume in the future: more Asamis, more Korras, more Lins and Pemas, Jinoras and Ikkis; that my cousins won't always need me to be there with them to explain it doesn't matter if a woman wears short skirts or sneakers, neither or both, because these things do not define her worth.
All of this.
You are a natural assistant.
Why are you initiating physical contact with another women?
The twins are gonna make season 2 the best, I swear.
welp it's 2013 and the deed is done
fellow korrasamis rejoice
you're welcome
This is the story of how I died.
Slow clap it out Christa
Let's take a break from all this SDCC stuff for a new sneak peek still from Book 2!

Beautiful when done. A nightmare to assemble. It took 6 hours to assemble.
Room Divider

This is a functional and attractive room divider that serves as a storage area as well. Instructions are clear, but it does take a little bit of patience to assemble. Good design
Has to be bolted to a wall!
Jason from Texas– Verified Buyer
We were intending this to be somewhat of a room divider, but when we set it up it and put something on one of the shelves it started falling forward. It has to be bolted to a wall to be of any use. It holds a lot of things and looks good too. Just wish it was more stable.
Good bookshelf for the price
Benjamin from Inver Grove Heights, MN– Verified Buyer
Love the contemporary design of this bookcase. Material has the "plastic" feel outside with wood look pattern. It's light like fiberboard and not solid wood at all. It can be a good thing for some to move around easily. One of the good things at least in our case, is the dimensions of HxDxW. It fits exactly where we wanted to put it. I was a bit worry about the width if it's not exactly like it was listed in product description, but it worked out right. I bought this bookcase mainly for it look and fit of the space. Even though, this bookcase is for books but I find it can be better used for a mix of thing like in the pictures. And like some people already mentioned, the shelves are not tall enough to put the books up but to lay them flat down. Bottom line is product works as described (or as shown in the picture). Although, the color might be a bit whiter more like the background the this webpage instead of the off-white look of the picture. Price is right. I had no problem putting this all together. However, the instruction could had been done a better job in more clear steps. I would still recommend this product.
Love My Bookcase!
Mary from Woodstock
The bookcase is better than I expected. It was delivered quickly and assembly was a snap. It is stylish and could be used in almost any room.
Excellent quality and construction.

This is the second Celio 53" bookcase that I've purchased in white. I used the first one for the upper part of a dining room hutch. It created a really nice addition to my dining room by placing it on top of 4 (upper) kitchen cabinets that I placed on a frame directly on the floor. Marble on top of the cabinets, then the bookcase on top of that arrangement made a great, modern hutch. I liked it so much I created another "L" shaped setup in our large master bedroom as a coffee bar and entertainment area.
