"It's safety first right now," Pemberton said.
"At no time should a driver approach a moving vehicle."
A rule change to take effect immediately was pushed through by NASCAR in the wake of the dirt track race death in which Sprint Cup driver Tony Stewart struck and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr.
"We're all going to think twice," said Kyle Larson, the 22-year old driver from California who came up racing on dirt tracks. "If we're upset, we're going to think twice before getting out of the car."
Ward's funeral was Thursday in New York.
"It's not just about NASCAR. It's about all of motorsports," Pemberton said.
Stewart did not race last week at Watkins Glen and announced he would sit out again Sunday at Michigan. Stewart-Haas Racing is unsure when Stewart might return. The team said Friday that Jeff Burton was promised only this week's race but stated that the Chase playoff standings were not even a minor priority for Stewart.
Stewart isn't at Michigan International Speedway, and his absence is being felt.
"This decision was Tony's," said Brett Frood, executive vice president of Stewart Haas Racing. "An emotional week for him. He's grieving. Made the decision he's not ready to get in the racecar and will take it week by week. It will be up to Tony when he's ready to get back in the car."
Defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson said Friday that short tracks should soon adopt a policy for spotters in the name of increasing safety. Even the notably reserved Johnson, who said he has been unable to reach Stewart, recalled an incident during his rookie season when his temper got the best of him and he got out of his car to offer a one-finger salute to Robby Gordon at Bristol.
Johnson said he believes the fatal crash was a "complete accident," but allowed that hearing from Stewart is likely the only way to set others at ease.
Until then, some will play independent jury, but the majority of NASCAR drivers are not playing judge.
"It's not right for me to discuss what happened; it's a tragedy," said Carl Edwards. "I've been around racing my whole life ... I don't know what happened."

I was buying another that cost $3.00 more & was rated with one star. This one had five stars. Happy! Pros: Cost and quality Cons: Don't see any Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Easy to use/great picture/very good sound Written By RandyK, Chatham NY on Saturday, January 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased as a gift for a disabled friend. He struggles with technology and is easily confused. However, just 2 demonstrations and he had it down...and he loves it. Pros: Easy to use. Very good picture...bright and precise. The sound is surprisingly good. It is easy to use when just holding on the lap or, in my friend's case, on a folding tray table. The settings available are useful and sufficient. Cons: 4 hour battery life. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 A player to enjoy... Written By CJones, Timberville, VA on Friday, September 27, 2013 This is my first portable DVD player that I've purchased and kept. I really like the quality of picture and sound and the special surface of the outside that does not show finger prints. I am also very happy that my daughter helped me figure out how to watch videos from my camera on this player. Another good feature is the on/off button does not accidentally come on. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great for the car Written By MikeS, Elmira, NY on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We purchased this for road trips with the 6yo. I was a bit worried about skips on bumpy roads. My last portable was almost unusable in the car. This one is great. We took it for a trial in the pickup truck on some bumpy back roads and it never missed a beat. It doesn't have a swivel monitor that some people prefer. It does open out flat but it doesn't swivel around to fold back on itself. I use a CaseLogic case that mounts to the headrest so the fold flat isn't needed. Pros: No skips! Cons: No swivel monitor. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

On Tuesday Jude, Emma and I climbed Mounts Avalon, Field and Willey from Crawford Station. We followed the Avalon Trail to the summit of Avalon, then to the junction with the Willey Range Trail just below the summit of Mount Field. From there we took the Willey Range Trail south over Mount Field to Mount Willey, then back north over Mount Field and continued north to it's junction with the A-Z Trail. From there we hiked east on the A-Z trail until the junction with the Avalon Trail which we followed back to Crawford Station. The trail was well packed. The sky was overcast which kept the snow from softening up in the warm temps. We did have a brief flurry or two, but I think if it kept up it would have turned to rain, as it did that night. We wore our snowshoes through the entire hike which kept us from post-holing as others before us had done. Of note was a flock of no less than 150 Cedar Waxwings, seemingly drunk on fermented Mountain Ash Berries just below the summit of Mount Avalon. Pictures here:
Great hike!

"The euthanasia rate is a Bartow County Animal Control statistic that we can influence greatly, contingent upon how many animals we can save," EVHS Executive Director Bryan Canty said.
He explained the rate is found by dividing the number of animals euthanized by the number of animals taken in by animal control during a given interval.
The rate of 30 percent is the second-lowest rate in the county's history. The shelter's report for January shows animal control took in 464 total animals while EVHS took in 74. There were 54 total adoptions.
There were 182 total rescues for January and a total of 236 lives saved.
"To my knowledge, there have only been three months where the euthanasia rate has been below 50 percent," Canty said. "One was March 2012 when we were able to save 194 lives and this past December we saved 168 lives, but the intake numbers were a little lower."
He said several factors can be attributed to the low rate, including the efforts of Animal Coordinator Jan Granai.
"Jan has put forth a great deal of effort not only in selecting the animals that are coming over to our facility, but to also go back to animal control, photograph those animals and cross-post them on her Facebook page so they get the maximum amount of exposure," Canty said. "Also, [I attribute] the concerted efforts of my staff as a whole.
"They get the concept and they are dedicated and passionate about what they do. They have had a very, very profound impact."
Canty said he feels the EVHS serves an important role not only in the lives of Bartow County's animals, but in the lives of its human residents as well.
"If people can remove the stigma that's attached to shelter animals and come out and visit our facility and see the quality of animals that we have, I think it will change their whole preconceived notion in terms of why shelter animals are second to none," Canty said. "In addition, it's just imperative we put forth one of our mantras which is to spay or neuter your animals so we can significantly reduce pet overpopulation in Bartow County."
He added, "It's very fortunate to see these types of numbers at this stage in the game, but it's going to take a readjustment of people's attitudes in the community to sustain this model of efficiency."
On Saturday, Feb. 23, America's Auto Auction in Emerson will be transformed into a casino as the EVHS encourages the community to place its bets on pets during the annual EVHS Casino Night.
"The intent of the casino night is to raise funds for our daily operations and our daily operations include paying the staff that work in our kennels, do the adoption coordinations and our rescue coordinations as well as paying for things like food fees and vet fees and general healthcare for the animals we rescue," said Shanna Thompson, who is helping to organize the event. "All of our animals come from Bartow County Animal Control, and so every life we can save and make room for and adopt out [helps]."
The event, to be held at 444 Joe Frank Harris Parkway, will last from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. It will feature casino gambling, such as blackjack, craps, poker and roulette, as well as food, drinks and entertainment, including music provided by DJ Nunzio and a magician performing illusions and sleight of hand.
When attendees enter the door they will be given a packet of fake money to be used at the tables.
Thompson said in 2012 EVHS was able to place more than 1,700 animals in homes or rescue sites. The 2012 casino night raised more than $18,000.
Opened in 2006, the 4,928-square-foot shelter at 36 Ladds Mountain Road costs about $240,000 per year to manage. The shelter consists of two staff offices, a quarantine room, two visitation rooms, 14 temperature-controlled kennel runs, a cat room with 24 cages and a puppy room with 22 cages.
"This year we are shooting for between $20,000 and $25,000," Thompson said. "A big way we increase the amount raised is by seeking out sponsors for the event and those sponsors can either be people who give a financial contribution or we have some sponsors who barter with us."
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the EVHS Shelter or BodyPlex Family Fitness.

Janet Jackson was in heavy rotation when Little Dragon went to work on Nabuma Rubberband, the album they released in May. That's the Janet-era Janet — the sexy, sultry version of the R&B superstar — so it's no coincidence that there are a few slow jams on the fourth record by the electro, soul, and synthpop quartet.Read more »

Apparently, the Department of Homeland Security takes the leaderless activist group Anonymous very, very seriously.
But that doesn't mean that the feds take what it says at face value. For instance, when Anonymous – which could literally be any teenager behind a keyboard – comes out to say that it's calling on people to get up off their couches and "rage with voices, not with violence," DHS evidently takes that as a cue that it's time to issue a formal security bulletin.Read more »

Midway through the introduction to More Curious (McSweeney's Books, 342 pp., $22), his recently-published collection of essays from the last 15 years, Sean Wilsey (who appears at the Booksmith Thu/21) reveals his quest to combine the styles of Thomas Pynchon and New Yorker legend Joseph Mitchell — paranoia and precision, respectively.
The introduction itself is a joyfully meta attempt at this very task. The 20-odd pages of often non-sequitorial rumination about the aforementioned authors, the triviality of the 1990s, and the first Obama election can be mistaken as "formless while still astonishingly informative" or "so intricately constructed and fact-filled that the form is too complex to be instantly identified." The happy reality of all of Wilsey's essays is somewhere between these two perceptions.

The lineup of shows so far has some pretty big hitters, with the Pixies, Broken Bells, Modest Mouse, and, um, Hall & Oates taking the stage in the coming months. Read more »
There have been no new developments in the case of Feather, aka Bryan Higgins, the Radical Faerie who was found beaten near Duboce Park, and who later died at SF General.
Feather was found around 7:30am on Sunday, Aug. 10 near Church and Duboce streets. Police are still looking for a white man in his 20s or 30s wearing a grey hoodie at the time of the attack. Police are reviewing camera footage which supposedly contains images of the attack, but have yet to release the footage to the public.

The weather was gorgeous, the lines weren't too long, and the people were friendly -- and hungry -- at the sixth annual SF Street Food Festival last Saturday.
About those shorter lines, though -- that meant we had access to pretty much any food we wanted in less than 10 minutes! (Except for the ever-popular ramenburger from Nombe, the line for which stretched almost the length of a block.) Uh oh, we were faced with unlimited choices, too many for our stomachs to bear, try as we might. And we might!

What is the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), and where can I find information about the SEQR process?
New York's State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) is aimed at avoiding or limiting possible negative impacts on the environment from proposed actions such as sub-dividing land, adopting land use plans, building a housing development or a roadway, or filling wetlands. When any state or local agency makes a decision about a proposed action, the agency must give equal consideration to environmental protection, human and community resources, and economic factors.

While November was a rather mild month temperature-wise in Portland, December has pretty much planted chilly mornings and near-freezing nights right at my doorstep (literally, considering my apartment building no longer heats the hallways or stairwells… Really…). I have started thinking more seriously about whether to continue riding my bike to work because frosty/icy patches on the streets don't mix well with me and my bike. We'll see…
Before we get to the swappiness, here are a few photos from a bike ride Tim and I took last weekend (we rode our bikes to one of our favorite parks to have lunch under a bridge and enjoy the last traces of Fall slowly slipping away…):
Picnic tables at Cathedral Park
The Willamette River peeking through some gorgeous fall foliage

Anyways, it's time to focus on the title of this post!!! Vegan package swaps are mighty fun and addictive and I recently participated in one started by Lindsay from the Cooking for a Vegan Lover blog. Lindsay has a wonderful blog and generously hosts lots of giveaways so you should visit her site!!! I was paired with Carrie from the Happy Vegan Yogini blog and my package arrived yesterday. It was an exciting end to a rather busy day at work. Do you want to know what was inside?
Banana Coconut Curry Sauce from Hawaii
Roasted Nori Snacks
Apple Chips
A local cabbage-y treat from where Carrie lives (good on beans she says!!!)
Pepperoncini, canned by Carrie!!
Apple Banana Butter from Hawaii
Coconut Candy from Hawaii
Also included was some incredible lip balm by Lush called None of Your Beeswax. It is lemony, vanilla-y, lovely. It is also the first Lush product I have tried – I want to try more now!!! Carrie tucked some Hawaiian coffee, dried fruit strips, and a reusable grocery bag from an all-veg grocery in Hawaii into my package as well (and some soup that sadly exploded from its carton in transit, but I will locate some at my grocery store because it smelled so good!). I was very lucky to be paired with Carrie right before she took a vacation to Hawaii, right? Fun stuff! The coconut candy disappeared quickly and Tim is eager to sample the hot sauce (perfect for warming our insides this winter!). Thank you so much Carrie!!!!!
Stay tuned for my next post which will announce the winner of my latest giveaway!!! Hurry up and enter if you haven't already, I draw a winner on Saturday the 5th!!!! Also, I am in the midst of reviewing two cookbooks and testing recipes for another one, so December will feature lots of food stuff. Good for everybody, right?!
